1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,960
What's up guys welcome to the pre-show floaties welcome to the pre-show

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Oh homework

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:23,400
What's homework is that what who's that my phone the pinging that's my phone. Oh the static. Yeah, I think it's you might also be my

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Good production values

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
You

6
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,800
It's still going it

7
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Maybe it is me

8
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,640
Should we um Should we just get like

9
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,160
Boxes maybe or should we wear those 5g blocking amulets? That's an option

10
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
What would you do? What did you if it if you did that and it worked?

11
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,280
Well, I have one of them on my phone and it doesn't

12
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Just for laws. I've had it. I saw there's a post on reddit right now asking. What is that sticker on Linus's phone?

13
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,960
Oh, really? Yeah, I don't think anyone in that particular reddit thread figured it out yet

14
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,180
But there's been a couple of comments that there was one on the forum

15
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:26,220
What the heck is Linus wearing like 5g or wearing a 5g snake oil amulet?

16
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:30,460
And is the video yet? I don't think so

17
00:01:30,460 --> 00:01:34,540
I think we still have to film like one little bit from it or something

18
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:40,900
We actually end up taking it like very seriously and testing it like very

19
00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:46,380
Scientifically and stuff. I shouldn't say very scientifically but in our in our fashion

20
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:51,420
Using good tools like we like we put it in the CT scanner and stuff

21
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:58,740
Perfectly done So we can determine if the like antenna structure is actually like attached to anything and stuff like it like we

22
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:04,340
We try really hard To find the functionality in it. Mm-hmm

23
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:10,820
I don't think it has thorium in it

24
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:19,780
Oh Because some hoax stuff had just like radioactive waste in it

25
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:24,340
Yeah, that's totally a thing no apparent reason other than to get rid of it. Yeah

26
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:27,660
Or who you're giving it to you. Yeah

27
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:36,700
No guys, we are not launching the mod mat today. I I think that it would come across

28
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,660
Untactful

29
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:49,020
That's her no not even a little okay

30
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:55,460
All right Wait

31
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:58,020
It is

32
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:06,740
Way Merriam-Webster got my back

33
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:14,280
Untactful All right Merriam-Webster powered by AI just like generated the page

34
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,100
That seems likely enough sure

35
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:28,260
It's close. Oh We'll be talking about Jimmy Fallon. It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome. It was it was a lot of fun. I

36
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:31,260
Had a great time

37
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:44,140
All right Luke did you see all the controversy surrounding pirate software in the hardcore wow community? I sure did

38
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:48,420
Is that a topic this week? Probably not. Oh my

39
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:51,940
Okay fair enough

40
00:03:55,180 --> 00:04:03,180
All right We do this thing I think we have enough we have enough drama topics

41
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:06,740
For what? Oh

42
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:13,140
What is the right number of drama topics I think it depends on the

43
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:19,220
Severity zero would actually be nice. Yeah, I think it's the total overall magnitude of all combined

44
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:29,500
Wait the BTS was amazing. Thanks Luke for paying people to do that. What oh

45
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:38,340
Okay, I should explain What Floatplane media does not pay the people who work for Linus Media Group Inc

46
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:46,700
Who make content to upload to Floatplane? Floatplane media only pays the people who work on Floatplane the platform and

47
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:57,420
Well, okay, technically they On the store and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, but like yeah, so so Sammy works for Linus Media Group. So

48
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:01,780
Who is Sammy's director supervisor James? I think

49
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:08,620
I want to say anyway Sammy supports to someone and supports you reports to someone. I don't think so

50
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:11,740
I don't think Chewie has any reports. I'm not sure

51
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,660
Honestly have not looked at the org chart recently

52
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:21,780
But anyway, yeah, there's there's a behind-the-scenes on Floatplane. So you guys are gonna want to check that out of

53
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:28,420
Traveling to the tonight show. Yeah, some people are pointing it out. Linus Media Group gets subscription money from Floatplane

54
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:31,820
So the company is not the person

55
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:38,100
Companies compensate. I mean, there's a but there's a there's a hop there. There's a hop there though

56
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:42,500
Huh? Because Linus Media Group gets of check from Floatplane

57
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:47,180
Mm-hmm, and then Sammy gets a check from Linus Media Group. Oh, no, I agree. Oh sure

58
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:50,700
Sure, the company is getting compensated not the person. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah

59
00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:55,740
Chewie and Sammy are the social media team and they report to James. Oh, there you go. Got it

60
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,500
That makes sense

61
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:07,140
Watch the Floatplane vid it was tense lol. Yeah, I dude. I actually haven't watched it

62
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:13,100
What I'm so what behind-the-scenes of visiting the tonight show. Oh

63
00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:20,820
Sammy went with me. No, I know he went with yeah, I haven't seen the behind-the-scenes was up. Yeah, I shot it behind the scenes

64
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:25,660
Crazy. Yeah, that's cool. Dude. I was so stressed

65
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:36,060
beyond stressed Alright, should we start this thing? You've locked in though. Thank you. Well, I'll save it. We'll talk about it in the show

66
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:38,820
All right

67
00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:46,220
Sorry, yeah, let's go hold on I need a drink

68
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:08,260
All right, I am resuming the selected and go

69
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:23,100
Hey everyone Before we start our pre-WAN Show topic today, I'd like to acknowledge a couple folks

70
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:28,260
I'd like to acknowledge our team who works so hard to deliver outstanding content to our community and second

71
00:07:28,260 --> 00:07:31,300
I'd like to acknowledge our community. No one's perfect

72
00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:36,620
Yes, even us and for as long as Linus Media Group has existed you guys have been there to help us

73
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:42,660
You've held us accountable when we've gone astray and you've also supported us when an attack against us is unfair

74
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:45,020
And it's time for someone else to be held accountable

75
00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:49,380
Earlier this week gamers nexus took us out of context

76
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:57,340
Again, and I can't keep ignoring this sort of thing Linus recently in a WAN Show episode said the following

77
00:07:58,220 --> 00:08:04,460
Regarding why they did not make a video when they found out about the way honey works years ago in

78
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:09,620
Response to how he believed that he might be perceived if he had raised awareness

79
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:14,020
The honey's actions when his team discovered them everyone's mad at me

80
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:18,660
It's that simple the I'm spreading the word for the smaller creators

81
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:23,940
That argument doesn't save me there and it's not gonna save me if I tell people to uninstall this extension that gets them a

82
00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:28,620
Better deal so that small Creators can get their affiliate revenue

83
00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:34,580
Are you kidding me? There is just no way that I make that video and I don't end up hanging from the nearest tree

84
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:42,220
Well, that's the video we're making right now And if that were to result in backlash like he thinks it would then so be it

85
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:48,620
Even if we ignore how disingenuous it is to compare the climate today and

86
00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:54,380
What we know today to the climate years ago when we originally dropped our honey sponsorship

87
00:08:54,580 --> 00:09:01,340
Our regular viewers will know that I provided additional context that dramatically changes the meaning of that quote

88
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:06,580
I mean, I don't expect everyone to agree with my viewpoint. It's very clear that not everybody does

89
00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:13,500
But what I do expect is for it to be fairly represented and this particular instance of misquoting is bad enough that

90
00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:16,580
Many from Steve's own community have used words to describe it like

91
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:21,020
disappointing misleading disingenuous and straw man

92
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:24,780
To my knowledge no retraction has been issued even though

93
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:30,260
I believe it is unlikely that the volume of comments about this went unnoticed by Steve and his team

94
00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:35,780
You guys may remember another video Steve made about us back in August of 2023

95
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:42,700
But what you might have missed is that his treatment of us then was part of the same pattern of poor ethics and misrepresentation

96
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,620
To be clear many points in his video were valid

97
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:53,940
But many others were not and it was due to fundamental flaws in his approach not careless or sloppy flaws

98
00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:58,460
But objectively unethical undrinalistic flaws

99
00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:04,780
You shouldn't take my word for that while I do often report on things and I do my best to act in the community's interest

100
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:09,300
I'm not a journalist So why don't we instead look at ethics and journalism org?

101
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:14,460
They have some good articles on subjects like bad news bias and right to respond or

102
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:21,420
Maybe we could look to the BBC you can pick your poison the point is that while not every publication has exactly the same rules

103
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:28,140
There are plenty of helpful resources out there that outline the generally accepted standards and ethical responsibilities of a journalist

104
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:33,620
It's clear reading any of them that Steve's approach in recent years falls short in numerous ways

105
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:42,820
If you prefer a video summary Here's a convenient one from dr. Ian Kutris of more than more the story gamers nexus provides is one specifically about Linus media group

106
00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:52,020
Which changes the nature of such a topic? For example one part of ethical investigative journalism is unless it's uncovering an explicit crime or break of the law

107
00:10:52,460 --> 00:10:55,060
Reaching out to get a formal response in advance

108
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:59,100
Gamers nexus did it with principle technologies and that blew up

109
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:09,220
Gamers nexus did it with new egg and that blew up Somehow those companies got special treatment the Linus media group did not this isn't me sticking up for Linus media group here

110
00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:11,740
But I'll be interested to hear the reason for the disparity

111
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:18,380
Steve in his update video explicitly states. He doesn't have to ask for mission, but that's not the point here

112
00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:22,140
Reaching out to Linus media group wouldn't stop you from posting your video

113
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:29,940
Just like it didn't stop you posting at him posting the principle technologies or new egg videos the precedent set for the last

114
00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:37,220
20 years of tech journalism and a hundred plus years of investigative journalism is that you at least reach out

115
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:43,220
Ian's critique was carefully worded and I don't blame him given the climate at the time

116
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:49,420
But it was both extremely valid and it was pointed enough that Steve felt compelled to respond to it

117
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:57,340
Ironically with a rushed late-night ramble fest that was so poorly received that he pulled it down before I even got a chance to finish watching it back then

118
00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:07,620
Thankfully there are re-uploads of the video if you look for them But in a nutshell Steve spent about 20 minutes rationalizing that decades of journalistic best practices around right to reply

119
00:12:07,980 --> 00:12:14,460
Simply don't apply to him. It felt a little ironic coming from someone who has accused me of gaslighting in the past

120
00:12:15,740 --> 00:12:22,500
Now he did issue a sort of Retraction via a community post that you can still find on the channel where he committed to

121
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:27,380
Republish that video at a future date, but he said that it would be within a broader channel update

122
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:34,400
So I'm not actually sure if that ever happened and either way what he didn't do is retract his flawed arguments

123
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:42,620
Only the video where he made them. I say this because you can still find many of these arguments on his secondary GN mini site in the ethics statement section

124
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:49,340
Now obviously there are some valid policies in here But many of the others pretty much boil down to Steve's personal

125
00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:54,300
Moral code rather than the standard journalistic code and I'll expand on that a bit later

126
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:58,860
but the short version is that no reputable journalist would validate his

127
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:07,940
Arbitrary justification for his own conflicts of interest or his convoluted no contact policy that he used to justify his failure to reach out

128
00:13:07,940 --> 00:13:10,300
To us for comment as part of our right to respond

129
00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:16,820
Now some folks don't seem to understand why this is so important

130
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:19,820
I have seen lots of speculation that

131
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:26,420
Linus was just upset because Steve cleverly didn't give him a chance to weasel out of legitimate criticism

132
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:32,980
But that is not the case We have proven over the years again and again

133
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:39,140
We welcome constructive criticism and we go out of our way to maintain open communication channels with our community

134
00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:43,340
like through our sponsor could excuse me through our sponsor concerns section of our forum and

135
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:48,740
Through our incredible ECC squad who lends us their expertise at multiple stages of our production pipeline

136
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:58,860
no right to respond matters because of the impact that it can have on your accuracy by taking a single source and

137
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:08,700
For his own reasons Refusing to fact check their misrepresentations Steve made multiple critical errors in his coverage of the bill at lab situation

138
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:12,580
Now look, I know this examples from two years ago

139
00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:17,060
But it's one that I'm obviously familiar with and it very clearly

140
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:25,900
illustrates the way that Steve believed and Still believes that he should be allowed to just avoid inconvenient data sources when he crafts his narratives

141
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:32,380
First up Steve missed that billet originally gifted the block to us. We were under no obligation to return it

142
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:38,220
He missed that they told us explicitly that it should work with a 4090 before we attempted it

143
00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:45,980
He missed that billet told us they were comfortable with us publishing the underperforming results as long as we put it in context

144
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:51,940
And finally Steve missed that the block only went into our charity auction because of an internal miscommunication

145
00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:58,540
That left the block marked as keeper a mistake that I took action on within literal minutes of finding out

146
00:14:59,340 --> 00:15:03,380
now I Acknowledge that I didn't handle the situation perfectly

147
00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:09,820
But I think it is undeniable that these omissions and errors are significant and that they've done significant

148
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:16,060
Possibly irreparable damage to my reputation to my company and to my finances

149
00:15:17,740 --> 00:15:24,500
To be clear I'm only pointing out the finances because it's such an important factor in cases of libel and defamation as

150
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:30,020
I stated recently when I was discussing the honey class action. I'm not a litigious person

151
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:33,380
I have no intention of filing any kind of suit because a

152
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:38,820
It's really hard to say if the line to defamation has been clearly crossed and B

153
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:44,620
It would be a giant waste of time and money for everyone involved. I only bring it up to underscore the gravity of the situation

154
00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:50,460
The thing is words mean what they mean and while morality is a personal judgment

155
00:15:51,340 --> 00:15:56,780
Journalistic ethics is not It's determined by collaboration and consensus between peers in the industry

156
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:02,860
Look if Steve wants to do his own thing and call himself a youtuber with strong moral fiber

157
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:07,180
That's his opinion and he's entitled to it and you're entitled to agree or disagree

158
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:11,420
But if he wants to use word likes words like ethics or investigative journalism

159
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:16,660
Then there are objective standards that he needs to uphold and he doesn't get to decide when they're important and when they're not

160
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:22,100
Now I believe that Steve is aware of these distinctions which suggests that he is either

161
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:27,380
Ignoring his knowledge because he has failed to properly understand it or because he is dishonest. I

162
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:31,860
Have no evidence to suggest that he is not smart enough to understand these principles

163
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,660
What I do have experience with personally is his dishonesty

164
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:40,140
The misquote of me in the honey lawsuit video that forced me to address this is self-evident

165
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:45,820
But it's the rationalization for not reaching out about billet that paints a more complete picture

166
00:16:46,460 --> 00:16:54,580
For starters, he asserts that the information presented in his the problem with Linus Media Group video was already public knowledge

167
00:16:55,620 --> 00:17:03,340
Some of it was Some of it clearly wasn't billet Labs is representations of our private communication were not public knowledge

168
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:08,700
And as we demonstrated in our response, they were not provided in good faith or with the appropriate context

169
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:16,540
Had he reached out for clarification I feel it would have been clear both to himself and to his audience that the events that led to the block being auctioned

170
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:19,460
Were an honest accident caused by a miscommunication. I

171
00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:27,860
Think it also would have been obvious that any perception that I behaved like a thief or a liar is not supported by the facts

172
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:35,060
It also would have been clear that some retractions and corrections were required in order to address the information that I provided to my knowledge

173
00:17:35,380 --> 00:17:38,280
No such action has been taken and the original video is still up

174
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,240
Since we're at this I would also be very curious to see receipts for the claims that we have a

175
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,520
history of failure to resolve issues or

176
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,520
unprofessionalism in prior communications

177
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,760
Okay, G and further writes we previously had non-public contact with this organization

178
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:04,400
LMG here about similar matters that were not resolved satisfactorily or wherein we sometimes were the recipients of aggressive messaging pertaining to review top

179
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760
topics sorry topics

180
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,680
That is an extraordinary claim that I believe requires extraordinary evidence

181
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,280
I'm not gonna deny. I've had my fair share of cranky days in my life It is possible also that he could be referring to another individual who worked here

182
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,960
But I dug through every DM and email that I could find with Steve. I probably don't have all of them

183
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,520
I have switched phones many times in my life But I can't find any evidence to support this

184
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,920
I'm not perfect So I want to make it upfront right here and say that if I acted unprofessionally or aggressively at any point

185
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,080
That was not my intention and I'm truly sorry but also

186
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,640
The whole thing just doesn't make any sense like if you stop and think about it

187
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
if he reached out for comment and I actually

188
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,280
Responded in the manner that he alleges I might with dishonesty or aggression

189
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Publishing that response right that would be great

190
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:10,000
Supporting material for his expose So even if the argument that he doesn't need to reach out because I could be rude in return held up ethically

191
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Which it doesn't it also doesn't hold up logically and the same goes for his claims

192
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,480
But I could somehow turn it into an opportunity to mislead

193
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:29,800
mislead who? Assuming his evidence and conclusions are solid any deceptive action that I took in public would again give him further ammunition to make his case

194
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,440
and unless he's afraid that I could somehow

195
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,540
Bamboozle him in private the most that I could do there is offer an explanation or context both of which could only help him

196
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,800
If his intent was truly to provide an accurate account

197
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Unfortunately as many of you have come to realize after the latest honey thing. I don't believe that that was ever the intent

198
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:59,680
now look I Know that the first criticism of this segment is going to be there goes Linus again all emotional defensive

199
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,040
But what would you do what would you have me do I?

200
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Apologized for the errors that we've made and I kept my mouth shut about the stuff for ages in the interest of moving past this

201
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,800
It's not working and like this isn't some random comment on Reddit guys

202
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,040
This is an influencer with massive reach misrepresenting me on an ongoing basis

203
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:29,400
How long should I stay silent to atone for my real sins and how many times should I be unfairly attacked before I'm allowed to get

204
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:37,440
defensive Thing is if I allow myself to be misrepresented that opens the door for someone else to be misrepresented

205
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:44,920
At some point. I'm sure you guys can agree. It becomes necessary to stand up for yourself. I am not saying I'm perfect spoiler

206
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,800
I'm super not but there are numerous conflicts of interest around gamers nexus covering us in any way

207
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Which he well knows because he lists them on his website and a token gesture like

208
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:03,520
Forgoing the AdSense revenue on one video falls a little flat when you compare what can be gained through subscriber growth

209
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,560
AdSense revenue on future videos not to mention from elevating one's own reputation and brand at the cost of a competitor

210
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:19,080
Over the last year and a half I've made sometimes quite difficult efforts to put aside my personal feelings and move on in spite of my well-founded concerns about

211
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,400
Steve's impartiality not to mention the painful personal history some of which I just laid out

212
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,080
We including me personally have made an active effort to just go back to normal

213
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,720
Start shouting out gamers nexus. We've done it multiple times for their stories of reporting and so we should

214
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,000
When people do good work, we as an industry should praise it, but that should be a two-way street

215
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:48,480
The honest truth is I don't actually know what Steve's issue with me is today

216
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,880
My last message to him was on the day he published the expose and I never got a response

217
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240
I will read it here so we can all be on the same page a

218
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,800
Journalist might have reached out for comment to get valuable context first

219
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,680
But we both know that once again this wasn't about making the most accurate video your glass house is showing

220
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Here I'm referring of course to the analogy of throwing stones in a glass house

221
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Scaling beyond a few dudes is a big challenge and I really hope that one day you get there

222
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,800
One I still think that even if your judgment is clouded right now by the giant conflict of interest you have around reporting on us

223
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:35,520
your heart's in the right place and That it would be good for the industry to I think it'll be good for your content and for your audience for you to have a broader perspective

224
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,800
I'll be moving forward as normal and won't be participating in any kind of nonsense public sniping

225
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,880
It'd be good for views or whatever, but I'm pretty focused on growing the company and our test capabilities and our team

226
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:50,720
You're still welcome at future LTX events and we'd be happy to resume working together in good faith

227
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,160
If you ever decide again that working together as press is good for the industry until then Linus

228
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,920
What I said holds true today including the part at the end I want to move forward

229
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,680
But that's going to take some work from both parties not just me

230
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,960
So I'm going to shift gears and the next part will be directed to Steve who was sent an advanced copy of my letter today

231
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,240
Which he has responded to kind of along with a request for comment on his apparent personal challenges around covering us objectively

232
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:24,720
Steve on wanshow today I'll be doing a segment outlining some of the ethical and journalistic issues with your content that I've observed personally and that I have

233
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:31,800
Seen raised by the community I will be especially focused on how they have impacted your coverage of me and my company because I'm most familiar with the relevant facts

234
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:36,680
But these issues appear to run deeper and I believe they could be impacting your ability to be objective overall

235
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,160
Something I know the community values greatly

236
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,320
There will be a particular focus on your stance around right of reply since it affects accuracy so much

237
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,760
And there will also be some discussion around misquoting as in the recent honey video as well as your ability to

238
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,480
address or is your inability to address your clear conflicts of interest when it comes to covering an entity that you've chosen to view as a

239
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,360
Direct competitor rather than as a collaborator or peer as you did in the past

240
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,520
If you have some comments and evidence on what breakdowns caused your inaccurate coverage of us in the past

241
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,960
Why you seem to find it so challenging to cover us objectively and what steps you plan to make to rectify these issues in the future

242
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,360
I would be happy to include your thoughts in this segment

243
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,160
The segment will also include the following letter that is addressed to you

244
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,400
Steve we do our best around here to do what we believe is right and to stand up for the consumer

245
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,280
That leads to us doing journalistic things sometimes and I understand basic journalistic principles

246
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,760
But I'm not a journalist and I've never claimed to be the reason I'm sending this to you

247
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Then is not because I'm some journalist reaching out for comment But out of respect and because I was once a collaborator and supporter and I hope to be again someday

248
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,680
For that to happen though, I do have some requests

249
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:53,880
Everyone is human and we all make mistakes But I believe that for you to become the journalist you aspire to be there are some errors in both your approach and in your coverage

250
00:24:53,880 --> 00:25:02,600
That are large enough to merit correction Obviously not everything needs to be pulled your methods aside. It's clear you were right about a lot of things in August of 23

251
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,560
But it's also clear that between the conjecture

252
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:13,440
Editorialization and what I hope are simply errors rather than lies a number of retractions are in order both on that piece

253
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,160
And in your other coverage This isn't just for me, but also for your community who looks to you to do the right thing

254
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,320
As for the personal side of things I can't ask you to like me

255
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,000
You clearly disagree on a personal moral basis with some things I do

256
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:34,880
Which of them are real and which of them are performative? I'm actually not sure anymore, but it doesn't matter. That's your personal compass and you've got to follow it

257
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:43,080
What does matter is treating others in the industry with respect and being prepared to be held accountable the same way you hold others accountable

258
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:50,000
Traditional journalism while a competitive battlefield has no absolute authority and is quite often a brotherhood with shared goals

259
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:56,560
That hold each other accountable to mutually agreed upon standards standards. It's not a brutal free-for-all

260
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:03,520
So as part of being a contributing member of the tech brotherhood, I expect you to be open to critique in the same way that you expect others to

261
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,800
Be open to critique. I Also expect that if you cover us publicly in the future

262
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,160
You do so with honesty Impartiality and proper disclosure of your numerous conflicts of interest

263
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:22,000
With that said regardless of your motives in 23 your actions did serve as a wake-up call for us to supercharge the changes that we were slow rolling and for that

264
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,280
I'm thankful Now it's time for your wake-up call should you choose to accept it

265
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,560
If you can't put your biases aside Simply recusing yourself is an option

266
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:38,800
But it might require some further retractions since you've claimed in the past that covering us is so very important because of our business's

267
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:45,800
Relevance to the tech industry Well, if that's no longer the case than any snipes that relied on that for justification probably need to go to I

268
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:56,880
Understand you may not want to rebuild this bridge But I still want you to know that while gamers Nexus LLC is every bit as much of a for-profit business as Linus Media Group

269
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:04,600
Incorporated I Linus Sebastian the individual still see you Steven Burke the individual as a colleague and potential future collaborator

270
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:14,360
Because the reality of it is personal feelings aside We both fight for the same team the consumers and the community a community that is stronger if we just cut the tribalism and work together

271
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:22,560
I've always said that a rising tide lifts all ships and that we all benefit from more interest in our hobby and more contributors to our community

272
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:28,880
I have always encouraged our viewers to follow multiple outlets and get multiple perspectives including yours

273
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:39,840
You used to tell me that you agreed with those things I hope you can again because this is going to be especially important as we navigate the weirdness around benchmarking machine learning assisted cards like the upcoming 50 series

274
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,320
So in summary, I welcome valid

275
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,800
Constructive good faith two-way feedback

276
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,200
But when I told you a year ago that I had no interest in public sniping matches

277
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:57,400
That was the truth our community in tech used to stand out as one that embraced collaboration and rejected beef. I

278
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:05,880
Would like that again. I Chose to make my statement as a segment on wancho and a clip on our clips channels rather than a dedicated video in hopes of finding a balance between

279
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,120
sharing my side finally and Igniting drama for views

280
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:15,440
So can we forget the past and move forward? See you at computex Linus

281
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,480
now I'd like to come back to addressing you all

282
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,000
For once in the history of online communities

283
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,520
Guys, I beg of you. This is not who shots fired

284
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,640
Do not get into a mudslinging match over this

285
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,600
Continue the good work you do holding creators accountable, but this is not and it should never be

286
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,680
LTT vs. G yet Gn us versus them

287
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,800
Some folks are going to insist on interpreting it that way

288
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,200
But I believe that the majority the rational viewers should be able to see the truth of what I'm saying

289
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,240
Even if they don't always agree with the source and see the importance of moving on as

290
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:01,120
For the ones that can't do that Look if their viewpoint is closed we gain nothing by arguing with them except wasting our energy

291
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Energy we need to power our TX 50 90s So let's rise above it

292
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,040
So with that in mind then funny memes in bounds

293
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:20,040
I like humor as much as anyone But if Steve wants to move on then I would like to respectfully request an end to the Gn bashing posts for that matter

294
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,480
Any other publication in our various community gathering places YouTube comments

295
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:30,560
Discord reddit and the LTT forum and any that I haven't thought of I'd like us to be the change we want to see in the world

296
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:37,520
Thank you you guys One last note. I know that we did announce that we were going to launch our mod mat this week a project

297
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:43,440
By the way that we kicked off long before the August controversy and that was created in collaboration with mod

298
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Right the owner of the mod mat patent who's been making them since before anyone in the creator space got the idea

299
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,320
But even though our mod mat has nothing to do with Steve

300
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,320
I felt it would be tacky for us to have a long discussion about an important topic like this

301
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,880
Then immediately pitched to a sales pitch our pivot to a sales pitch for a product that competes with one of his

302
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,720
So we're pushing the launch to next week now

303
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,720
With that unpleasant business out of the way

304
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Welcome to the land show. We've got a great show for you guys this week

305
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:18,480
I went on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. I'm gonna be talking about that. I had

306
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,960
dude At the time of my life. I I'm I honestly know very little about it

307
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,560
And I'm just as interested as probably they already hear about it. I'm stoked

308
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:34,080
We're also gonna be talking about a perception that I've seen in the community that review embargoes are bad

309
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Yeah, let's talk about that. What else we got this week Nintendo officially announced the switch to and

310
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,440
Goodbye tick-tock and what's happening in the world of apps because of that. I

311
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,120
Was prepared look at that. Wow

312
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,120
What year is it dude

313
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:06,200
The show is brought to you today by honey up Vessie

314
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:14,720
And rocket money and of course by our rap partner D brand in our chair partner secret lab

315
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:27,400
Andy's dad got him I Knew about most of this. I didn't know about that. I just made that. Oh my god. I was feeling your reverent. Oh

316
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,880
Lifted tension Do we want to what are we doing? What are we doing? Are we doing Fallon or we doing one of mine?

317
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,560
What's the what's the plan? I want to talk about the tonight show, okay?

318
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:43,200
on Wednesday, so what what what this would be on the off that?

319
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,600
Okay, how annoying is it that you click the thing down here and the calendar doesn't pop any more so so on Wednesday the 8th I

320
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Got an email that was like Hey, so

321
00:31:54,280 --> 00:32:00,080
Like CES right man. Yeah, and I'm like, yeah, I'm a little busy. I'm like, you know covering

322
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Literally there right now, but yeah CES and they're like

323
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,120
Do you want to be on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon? I'm like I

324
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,680
Got to be honest with you. I knew my answer, but immediately I was like I

325
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:21,480
Got a trust I don't want to just trust myself on this one because it's it's a huge stage

326
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,760
And on the one hand I could nail it, but on the other hand I could bomb it. Oh, yeah

327
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,800
Oh, yeah, I have that I have dude. I have bombed things

328
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,480
It's also like as much as honestly, I think the viewership across both I googled what the viewership

329
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,600
Yeah, that show is I think it's like honestly fairly similar, okay?

330
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:44,240
We can talk about that more later whether that's true or not. I have no idea, but it's just a totally different thing

331
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,920
It's not it's not the wancho. This is this is like a home home turf advantage, you know

332
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,720
Like there's there's the sets. Yes, there's things that were used to you've done show coverage

333
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:59,560
I'm with my shooters who I can riff with and stuff like that like there's there's things that you used to and then there's then

334
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,560
there's just completely like

335
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,120
Whatever the heck that experience was I can't even imagine okay

336
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,960
So anyway, what the so the first thing I did was I fired off an email to I think Colton

337
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,000
Yvonne Chui who's our community manager and I think I included Taryn as well. I'm like

338
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,800
What do you think? Should I do this?

339
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:26,720
And they were basically like oh, yeah, and James James s because it would disrupt our production schedule a little bit

340
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,280
Like it basically cost three days because of the timing I had to fly in the day before I had to do the show

341
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:39,320
Wait, did I fly in the day before or no? I did a red eye I did a red eye the night of and then did the show and then I had to fly out the next day

342
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:45,880
And the show's not at night. I thought it was live this whole time. It's it's I mean I haven't it's live to tape

343
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,240
So in terms of the actual filming experience

344
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,000
It functionally might as well be live because they're doing live camera switching

345
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:01,960
But it actually like if you've ever attended it in person which which you can do and it was a packed house because like

346
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:11,320
Bad bunny was on the show It's actually a few hours before the actually the airing of the episodes so they have time to you know bleep any make minor

347
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:17,080
Bad cuss words. I thought it was like a like a 15 second buffer or something

348
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:20,520
So they had time to bleep and and like block things out and that's it

349
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,840
No, but what I will say is that the taping experience is really not paced

350
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,080
From what I saw that differently than if if it was live

351
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,160
I think if I was to guess I would say the liveness or the I would say the live to tape rather than liveness

352
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,720
Is more about making sure that it's that it's really smooth and really clean

353
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,120
And less about that they couldn't do it live if they really wanted to they clearly could yeah

354
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,960
That team was so pro. We'll get to that in a second though. So anyway, they basically gave me the green light

355
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:56,120
We figured out the travel arrangements. I promised myself. Do you remember when this happened? I promised myself like

356
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:02,440
Nine years ago 10 years ago that I would never do a trip immediately after ces again

357
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,320
I'm I probably yeah. Do you remember when I did that?

358
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:13,000
No, but I'm pretty sure we've talked I was at ces and ford reached out wanting to sponsor a trip to the new york international auto show

359
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,680
I literally came back from las vegas had a meal with my family in the airport

360
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,240
And then got on my plane going to the next trip. It was horrible. I told myself

361
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:31,400
I would never do it again Well, I did again and I am so glad that I did

362
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,400
Dude, okay. So so back to it being different

363
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,920
I've done live before I think the first time I ever

364
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Performed live and I I don't mean like when I was in a choir recital when I was a kid or whatever

365
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,760
The first time I ever had to like early one like worked the crowd was at the ncix

366
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,200
Tech fair at Aberdeen mall. That's the same one. I was gonna say darn it

367
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,440
So what happened then? And this this is really funny was

368
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,880
Microsoft I believe was one of the main sponsors of the event

369
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:09,720
But realistically do you think microsoft actually has the time of day for it was like a weird little thing in the courtyard of this

370
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:18,440
Mall like a shopping mall. It was odd They just set up like tables and like down one of the hallways by the ncix store and then vendors were just like

371
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:24,200
Sitting behind their tables I uh

372
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,280
Whatever like a couple I think like a couple case brands had some cases on their tables and stuff

373
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,320
It was super weird super jank. Anyway, microsoft didn't have the time of day for this

374
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,560
But they sponsored it because the way that sponsorship dollars work for retailers is typically through mdf

375
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,160
or at the marketing development funds, I think is what it's short for and

376
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:49,320
essentially Rather than being a negotiation where I go. Hey luke. Um, I want to do a video on your water bottle

377
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,320
Give me some money and we'll do the video the way it actually works is

378
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,320
I'm a store and I sell these water bottles that luke's company makes

379
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:05,880
And a percentage of my sales revenue gets rebated back to me for approved marketing activities

380
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,520
So realistically what happened was ncix was just looking for a way to spend some mdf

381
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:19,880
And microsoft was like fine screw it. Who cares? So we did this weird we did this weird, uh, like tech expo thing in Aberdeen mall

382
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:26,440
At some point they're like, hey, we need you to go on the stage and do I think it was like a giveaway or something

383
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,480
I I don't even remember what it was

384
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,960
But it was one of the most awkward things that I had ever done in my life because it really makes sense

385
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:40,840
I had no idea What the point of anything I was doing was I had no experience

386
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,280
With like crowd work or addressing a live audience

387
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,560
It's really at that point. I was already making videos. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, because luke was in the picture

388
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,320
So I was obvious. I've been making videos for a while, but talking to a camera

389
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,640
is different I think that must have that must have been 2012 I can

390
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,200
I can perform for the camera Without even thinking about it. It's it's second nature to me now

391
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Live Is different like when you make a joke live like I think the uh, the waifu one didn't land in person

392
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,360
No, it landed in different ways. That was so good

393
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,680
The waifu one did not land in person dude

394
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:31,000
The kind of mortification That you feel like when it joked doesn't when it joked doesn't land with you guys

395
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,880
I just like I shake it off. Yeah, but the silence

396
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,960
Is deafening It's deafening silence

397
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,240
And I could tell it immediately that I did something wrong

398
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,080
Not not wrong like like they were mad at me or anything wrong

399
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:53,880
But when I was like, I'm on real tv Do you know how many times someone has probably said that on the show? Oh tons for regular viewers like come on

400
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,120
I feel like that's like, um Man

401
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,560
What would that what would that be like it'd be oh it'd be like walking up to a to a beloved tv actor and asking them to

402
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,000
Do their catchphrase You know like it's just uh

403
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:13,400
It's played up So I did that which immediately got me like oh, I did that I can't believe I did the thing in the

404
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:20,760
And then you know, obviously I have some idea what they want to talk to me about but it is very much uh

405
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,600
And I gotta say Fallon gets a really bad rap

406
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:30,920
For like, I don't know overreacting or fake reacting to things

407
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:40,200
Dude, what are you talking about? He actually they told me he went out of his way because I I respectfully asked I said look

408
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,120
I value genuineness in people's reactions to things

409
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:51,400
I would respectfully ask that while you explain everything so that he like, you know knows what it is

410
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:57,960
That you not have him put the glasses on not show him the color changing and and and have it be fresh fresh fresh

411
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360
And they're like, yeah Of course

412
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,680
And you know, what's funny is you know how he like he gets a bunch of flak online for like

413
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:14,520
Overlapping at things Sure, honestly, I have no idea. I don't I don't watch any form of tv. It's that's not it's not against his show

414
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,560
I don't watch yeah No, well, well, he does sometimes because like I I kind of like looked up, you know

415
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,920
What what to expect, you know from because I've watched clips from time to time

416
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,480
But I also don't have a tv subscription. So like I watch clips on youtube, right? Like that's that's about it

417
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:34,440
and and And I've also I've read through a lot of the comments on ours and the flip side is there's people saying he looked so uninterested

418
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Know what he looked like to me as a person who was actually there

419
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:46,040
Who was actually sitting on the couch across from him Was someone who was listening to me talk about things and genuinely experiencing them

420
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,400
I thought he was great and he was such dude

421
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Bad bunny is the most effortlessly cool person that I have ever met

422
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,000
No, no, I'm serious I I barely even interacted with him

423
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,800
Did you see him put on the glasses? I swear to god that guy could put on a milk crate

424
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,240
And it would look cool Pull the what's her name she put on the potato sack

425
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Sure, yeah In fact, I bet a lot of people didn't notice this but he was wearing for his belt. He was wearing a rope

426
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,560
Oh with his like slick outfit. He just had like a rope tied around his waist

427
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:34,120
It's probably some fashionable thing because Because because when you're that cool anything you do is cool anything you touch is cool and anything you say is cool

428
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,800
Also, that was hilarious when he was like nudes

429
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,320
Yeah Let me put it. I was kind of surprised they left that in let me put it this way sir

430
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,440
You probably get nudes I don't

431
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,120
Have you ever I have all my dms turned off. Uh, yeah, so I don't know maybe at some point

432
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,320
But I yeah, there's there's no way that I there's no way that I yeah did bad bunnies steal the glasses

433
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:05,960
Come on guys. He's a professional And do you think he can't afford glasses if he really wants them like the brand

434
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:12,840
Immediately responded saying they would send him glasses like he doesn't need to do that those ones are are pre

435
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,920
Those are development samples probably Um

436
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:23,160
Those pretty cool. They came back. Have you seen them? Uh, not in person. Oh, I never I had when you were talking about bringing out glasses

437
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:28,680
I thought you were you were going to do the the screen ones big screen beyond or whatever

438
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:34,920
Oh, like a whole of your headset. Yeah. That's a lot of setup here. Here you go. Okay. All right. We're doing the demo again

439
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,960
We're doing the demo again. Let's go boys. So how do I it's somewhere over here. Yeah, it's somewhere over there a little bit further back

440
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,560
That is actually pretty wild while you're right. That's crazy. We have a short

441
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:54,680
I'm not sure if we've published it yet So, you know how on the show he asked how it worked and I was like that is pretty cool magic. Don't worry about it, right?

442
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:04,520
Wow Whoops, whoops. Okay. I see how they charge too. They're not that like bulky for having electronics at them. No, they're super cool

443
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:10,440
Yeah, um, so I know on the show we we I kind of hand waved it away because I knew my segment wasn't super long

444
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,480
um, and I was like magic, um, but

445
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:19,800
We do know how they work and we shot a short when I got back that looks like it hasn't gone up yet

446
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:26,600
But we'll be going up very soon explaining Exactly how they work. So stay tuned for that on the LTT channel channel. They're soup. They're super cool

447
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:31,320
Man, what else is there for me to talk about with it? It was it was so surreal

448
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:37,400
Like they did they did a walkthrough with me so that I'd be familiar with the like the stage layout and stuff like they wouldn't just

449
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:44,760
Shove me out there and be like go So they did a walkthrough where they just had stand-ins at the desk for bad bunny and jimmy

450
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,800
And then they like open the curtain and they say okay go

451
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,800
And so, you know, they show me how to do the walk-up and shake hands and shake hands and sit down

452
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,600
Oh my god, the way I sat down I was so awkward

453
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,960
I don't think I know and like I let my pants get hiked up like this high notice that I thought that was on purpose

454
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:09,880
No Okay question. Were those your darn tough socks or did you sneak the LTT prototype socks on almost everything on my person?

455
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,240
Was LTT was I the only one that noticed the socks? Nope. Okay. Okay. No. No the community loved it

456
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:18,600
They saw they saw the commuter bag. You know, it's like a commuter bag for sure

457
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,320
It was actually their team that was that kind of

458
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:29,240
Hinted that or that kind of started the idea rolling that like I'd have a bag of tricks, you know, and I was like, oh, that's perfect

459
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:34,120
I have a backpack And and that works for me and to be clear

460
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:40,600
I fully disclosed to them like that it was my backpack and I saw a lot of people speculating that

461
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:47,400
Oh, they They wouldn't have they wouldn't let them say LTT Store or they wouldn't let them pimp it or whatever that did not happen

462
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:52,600
I didn't get that. I could not say a negative word about the tonight show team

463
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,200
If I try that's cool. They were professional

464
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,920
responsive so accommodating. I mean, I guess they have to be used to like

465
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:04,040
actual famous people and stars and stuff

466
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,360
Or is it they're like tripping over themselves like can we bring you one of these can we get you some of this?

467
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:17,480
Are you comfortable? Are you that I'm like I'm good. They're like, can we close the door of your green room? I'm like, I mean the door's right there

468
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,720
Like they were they were so so accommodating

469
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:33,080
Um Loved me. Oh, here's another thing that I think people don't necessarily appreciate about s-tier personalities like

470
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:41,560
I consider myself An a-tier personality. I think I'm I think I'm pretty darn good on camera for the most part. I screw up sometimes and

471
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,680
You guys could obviously tell I was pretty nervous on the tonight show segment for the first part

472
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,360
I I said this in the pre-show and you told me to shut up which is fair because this should have held it for this segment, but

473
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,360
Yeah, absolutely. You did lock in though. I had the whole time you were sitting there talking

474
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:04,040
I was like, man, stop like stop talking about yourself and start talking about tech crap

475
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:10,200
Because the second you start talking about tech crap, you'll be fine. And then you finally did and immediately locked in. I was like, oh, we're good

476
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,920
That's my boy. Yeah So he's got it, man

477
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:19,240
Jayden's in chat line has seemed so nervous. I know my rl

478
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,760
Duh, uh, and it was so weird to see him like that. It was endearing though. Thanks jayden

479
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,920
You did totally lock in though. Oh Thank you. Thank you. Um

480
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:38,120
Yeah, yeah j2134 and in full plane chat said the lock in was crazy. But yeah, but okay jimmy

481
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:46,360
s-tier right like Ludwig s-tier, you know, you encounter people that you just you look at and you go

482
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,400
I could practice my whole life And I will never make it look as easy as you do

483
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,320
Like the the whole the whole um dick joke thing with the laptop

484
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,960
Do you not think he knew where he knew something was coming?

485
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,280
I mean how maybe not that maybe not that

486
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,560
But there's no way that he didn't know something's coming right with the way I set it up and i'm like

487
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,600
And i'm like laptop

488
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:21,320
I was a little concerned when he did that not gonna lie And then it worked out great then that means that then that means I did good. That means I did good

489
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,480
Anyway, the guy's such a pro. He just he walked into it for me

490
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,360
You know like yeah, yeah He when he needed to talk to help

491
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:36,920
You know slow me down You're calm my nerves or just get us to move on when i'm being boring. He did it

492
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,720
Gently he was a good orchestrator. Yes. Yeah. And when it was time to let me talk

493
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:51,880
And respond sparingly He did that he did that. Um, so I dude I uh, I I had I had a heck of a time. I met him for like

494
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,400
five minutes before the show and um

495
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,280
And oh I was I was so stoked because

496
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,160
I feel like production teams can be very protective of their talent

497
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:08,040
And and they and they should be right because that the entire show rides on the talent

498
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,400
Delivering night after night, you know, so they could they can be very protective. So when I said

499
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,160
What they told me jimmy's favorite game because they kind of wanted the game on the um

500
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,320
On the x-ray glasses to to be something that he was deeply familiar with

501
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,760
They told me at zelda Yeah, my relationship with nintendo

502
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:35,080
So My confidence that I could go on network or sorry to uh, not network, um

503
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:41,880
Broadcast broadcast tv. What's the difference? I forget but there's a difference one one's free one something

504
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:47,320
Whatever the point if I go on tv, okay? Yeah, and use nintendo gameplay

505
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:53,400
My confidence level Pretty low. So i'm sitting there. I'm racking my brain

506
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,160
I look down and I see my what would luke do bracelet

507
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:04,520
And I was like How did I not think to just give him balder's gate three?

508
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,560
Yeah It's same control schema because all I needed to do him to do was walk around a little bit and just be like whoa

509
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,520
He had 162 inch screen in front of him, right? That's all I needed him to do

510
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,560
So so all I did so in the pre show it's on the pre brief. I was like, okay, look your team like

511
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,920
Your team's like oh make sure that you you know

512
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:31,160
Go through this with that. I'm like, okay So it uses it uses standard dual stick control. He's like, okay. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, he'll be fine. Yeah

513
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,520
Ah, dude, he would I don't know. He was he was super cool. Yeah, and you didn't need it Like he didn't need to get in a fight or anything

514
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:42,200
He just needs to see that he could see the screen in his glasses That was all that really needed to have yeah, and and uh

515
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,680
And I was very sure that larian wouldn't go after us so

516
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:52,680
That was one of the other reasons That I went with that. Yeah, they're pretty chill

517
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,120
Anyway, yeah, they made the experience completely unforgettable for me. I I shared them with luke

518
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:03,000
But they are Technically not for commercial use so i'm not gonna put them on the show right now

519
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:09,000
But they sent over a nice little photo album for me Oh, yeah That included like a like a cool black and white shot

520
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,880
Of the back of jimmy's head and me standing in the green room faking his hand and like

521
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:20,200
A nice wide of me on the set during the show and the big tonight show logo and stuff

522
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:27,880
That's genuinely very cool. Yeah It was really different. I've never really done traditional media before I didn't know that. What's up?

523
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,600
Sven the CEO of larian apparently tweeted the clip out. Oh, that's super cool

524
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:38,120
Of course he did so I want to talk I want to talk about

525
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,240
the um the difference between a view on tv

526
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,320
And a view on youtube because I got to say on the one hand

527
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:57,000
I am so I was so excited Like elated to to have this experience and to get to do this and to have it be so cool for me personally

528
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,000
But on the other hand a small part of me couldn't help being like

529
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:06,440
Okay, why isn't everybody this excited and impressed when we get five million views like all the time?

530
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:13,400
Right, like why is it? Well, no, I think it was comparative because you look at like they upload a lot to that channel

531
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,280
No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't mean that I mean like on LTT

532
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,680
On a very regular basis. We upload a video that gets a couple million views. Yeah

533
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:29,480
I don't have people Crawling out of the woodwork from all parts of my past being like, oh, I saw you. I saw you on fowlin

534
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,320
But that's the thing is even though it's it's only because I saw a lot of people being like

535
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,880
Oh, it was so it was so gracious of Linus to support up and coming creators like jimmy fowlin

536
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,760
Which is a mean it's a mean it's a mean format like they don't mean any disrespect

537
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,080
Um and while you know, we get a lot of views and stuff

538
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:55,480
What I've discovered is that even even though obviously I'm I'm new media

539
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:01,400
In and out All the way through to my core. Yeah a view on traditional media

540
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,320
Just plain isn't the same as a view on new media

541
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,920
It just plain doesn't hit as hard whether it's the kind of the glamour and the spectacle

542
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:17,000
Whether it's the polishedness of the production whether it's the just whether it's just the perception

543
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,800
Dude, everyone and their dog reached out to me about it

544
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,400
Like people I haven't talked to in years people Yvonne hadn't talked to in years

545
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:31,000
We're reaching out to her being like yo, I saw Linus on fowlin

546
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:38,360
There's definitely yeah, there's a definitely a prestige perspective on it. Yeah, and you know what when I was there

547
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Sitting in the studio. You got it. You got the production. It's a vibe. It's a vibe. It was so cool

548
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:54,840
Let me see what else I've got. Oh sammy has some notes on the experience So this is great if you guys are hold on a second. I'm just gonna do

549
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,560
Yeah, open this in a new tab if you guys are subscribed to Floatplane

550
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:06,360
Sammy actually came with me on the trip. Yeah for the express purpose of creating this behind the scenes vlog

551
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:14,680
of getting to and Appearing on the tonight show. So if you guys want to check that out sammy came along for the ride

552
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:19,400
And he actually has some notes in here as well He says they oh no that one

553
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:26,120
They says he says bringing Yvonne was an excellent call. I actually wasn't gonna bring her until five hours before my departure

554
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,360
Why well because she has like we have a lot of stuff going on with the kids

555
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:35,960
Yeah, but I'm assuming she wanted to we have a life She she wanted to be supportive

556
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,760
You know how she is she wants to be there doing whatever is

557
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,200
The single most productive useful

558
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:51,960
Thing and she puts aside a lot of her own feelings to do the right thing to to to to drive things forward

559
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,800
and so if the right thing was to make sure that

560
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,320
You know the kids all get to their stuff and whatever else

561
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:06,200
She was down to do that and watch from home if the right thing was to make sure that I don't blow a flipping gasket

562
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,840
Freaking out about this thing Then she was down to come with me

563
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:18,760
And sammy said bringing Yvonne was an excellent call a lot of praise warranted. He has has that bolded for keeping your nerves

564
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:25,720
For keeping your nerves like five percent was caught on camera in terms of nervousness and Yvonne making you calm down

565
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:31,320
If it was just you and me all I would have been able to do is give you a thumbs up and say you got this

566
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,040
And the shoot potentially would have gone way worse

567
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,080
Oh

568
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,040
All right Merch plug missing how to oh, yeah, man

569
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:52,520
I gotta can I can I please for maybe the final time ask the community not to speculate

570
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:59,240
Speculation is bad It's bad. And if you don't know don't say anything

571
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,120
X-Rail is using footage from Linus on the tonight show in their ads not saying this is good or bad

572
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,320
Just notice it while scrolling. It's great promotional content for the glasses. It makes sense to use it

573
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,680
Quite honestly, I won't be surprised if the items he chose to take to the show are sponsors. That's exactly how it works

574
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,320
No It isn't

575
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:22,360
If you don't know Don't say anything and that's actually not our footage

576
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:30,120
Yeah, I that I don't know anything about that, but Whether it's it's their footage. Yeah, whether they have the rights or not x-real wise that I don't know

577
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,360
I don't nothing about that. Yeah, what I do know is that x-real did not give us

578
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:40,360
A dime for the appearance what happened was we got the call on wednesday and we went

579
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:46,760
Holy crapsicles just for reference ces functionally closes on thursday

580
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:54,200
So we got the call we went Holy crapsicles we spent the rest of wednesday

581
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,360
Deciding to do it and then compiling a hit list and then on

582
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:04,200
There were there were multiple options for the segment. There was a possibility that if we didn't find anything

583
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,760
I would have sat on the couch done a terrible segment

584
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,720
and Never been invited to tv ever again

585
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:17,400
but I wanted to go for gold on this because I was like pretty excited about I mean, it's it's a cool

586
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:23,320
Yeah, it's a cool milestone. Even if it only happens once and so I told them look here. I told the team look

587
00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:27,560
Here's what we should try to do. We should try to bring ces to the tonight show

588
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:34,360
So we spent thursday part of the team massive shout out procurement massive shout out the man in the chair

589
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,800
James who was coordinating a lot of ces stuff from back here at home base

590
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,200
massive shout out to the writing team that was actually at ces

591
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:47,560
I hope i'm not missing anybody but not massive shout out massive shout out to our team for getting that together

592
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:53,720
So fast so on thursday, we went around to our hit list items and we basically were like, hey, here's the opportunity

593
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,960
Nothing is guaranteed because we have no what we're going to pitch it. It may or may not make it

594
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,760
You know, nothing's guaranteed. This is the op. Are you interested and

595
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:09,080
We scraped them together the way x-real happened was I was shooting that vr. Did you watch the vr headset?

596
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,520
Tied by side that I did no, okay, so I did it. I did a vr headset side by side with pimax and um

597
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,120
I'll shoot that really cool lightweight OLED one or micro OLED one

598
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,120
I'm so sorry. Anyway, uh, someone's going to tell me in the chat and that's going to make it easier

599
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,120
Anyway, I did this this vr thing and next to them was x-real and I'd seen a couple articles

600
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,480
But they weren't actually on our hit list at that time. So I went over to x-real

601
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,200
With uh with andrew. I think it was who was shooting with me. I'm megan e x. That's the one

602
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,840
shift all so I went over to x-real and I got in line for a demo and um

603
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:48,680
It was actually kind of a long line and we were kind of thinking of leaving and then one of their reps came like

604
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,000
Scurrying over and was like Hi

605
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,840
What would you like to see and I was like, oh, I actually don't have a lot of time. I was I was thinking I might actually go

606
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,960
She's like, no, no, no. I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you. So clearly she figured out

607
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:07,960
Who we were and I had at that point I just wanted to try it out because I had read some good things about it at the show

608
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:16,840
But I I had um I've never been a big fan of the wearable display thing. Yeah, I think I remember doing a video with you a while back

609
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,080
Where we kind of trashed it where we used it wasn't I don't think that was an x-real one

610
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:27,000
I think it was someone else no, but either way the the technology a wasn't there wasn't there and b

611
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,280
Just didn't seem compelling to me in at least that

612
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:36,760
You know weight and form factor and and dunglage situation and I think we were pretty much on the same page there

613
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,960
Um, so I you know, I don't know. I was like, I'll try it. Sure. Um

614
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,960
Anyway, I try it blows my freaking mind

615
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:51,640
Because it's really good. Um, the uh, the the darkening the chromatic uh, chroma chromatic

616
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,440
Electrochromatic whatever the the darkening lenses

617
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:03,240
Man, they're really good. They block out so much conveniently for for x-real. They had a super bright obnoxious

618
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:09,000
neighbor Uh, and the exact convenient for them exactly where their demo was set up

619
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:17,720
It was like right there shining into your eyes and you go And you can see it, but when you're focused on your content you can totally ignore it

620
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,680
So I'm sitting there playing switch games. I'm like I I want to take the I want to take this this night

621
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:28,280
So this is such a it's such a like wow moment because that's what you that's what you want for that like that tight

622
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,920
Just be visual to that tight format and I knew it wasn't going to be that but I knew we had other things

623
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,600
That could be more visual and more engaged. His reaction was

624
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:42,200
Quite visual though. I think I was telling Linus about this too when he didn't get it for a while

625
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,880
That almost made it so much better and to be clear. He wasn't faking anything

626
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,840
He could see the projected screen Just he it seemed like it was like

627
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,480
It didn't change the experience that much, but when you can be like

628
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:08,120
When you look away from it, exactly didn't look try them last week. Yeah, I was I was going along with this segment

629
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:17,000
Don't worry about it. Oh, yeah, anyway Week before last week, I think right so so so anyway, we were there and I'm like wow. This is really cool

630
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:22,040
um their CEO and founder walks past

631
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:27,320
Was having a meeting with someone at the booth which they tend to do a lot of the time the really big wigs tend to not

632
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,400
Rooms well a lot of the time they tend to not do the meetings on the show floor though

633
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:37,960
Uh In light of recent events involving ceo's getting gunned down in the streets. Oh, yeah

634
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,560
CES uh had a I would say a tighter approach to security than in the past

635
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,120
I'd still say there's a lot of gaps, but anyway, there's there's certainly been some

636
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,200
Conversations around, you know ceo's and and security

637
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:59,960
um Yeah I don't know if I'm gonna say it. Yeah, that's probably fine. There's like an incredibly easy way to get through security

638
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:03,800
But I'll just don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Um

639
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,040
Anyway, but he happened to be there because they did have a meeting room in their booth

640
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,360
And he was like yo And

641
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,480
And so I was so I so I basically I got to pitch to him personally

642
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,520
Hey, here's this op. I really like this product

643
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Can can can I take it with me right now? And they weren't able to give it to me right now right now

644
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,240
But we I think we sent procurement back like two hours later and that product

645
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,960
I think is not coming out for a while like that's not out yet. Yeah, um, but they were like, yeah

646
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,720
We got you we got you with everything they sent a rep with us to the tonight show

647
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,400
Oh, wow to like make sure that everyone was briefed and everything was cool

648
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,680
They gave me a briefing there on the show if that was my company like yeah

649
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,720
Well, yeah, especially if it's that pre-release like just have them there for like technical support

650
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:53,160
Make sure nothing's gonna go wrong last and you had an extra pair. Yeah, of course. Just in case stuff goes wrong with your release hardware

651
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,400
um, but no No, xreal didn't pay a dime

652
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,800
To me or to the tonight show for their appearance there like not everything

653
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:10,920
Not everything is a conspiracy theory And you know what? I don't doubt for a second that some things do involve payment 100 percent 100 percent

654
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,320
But that doesn't mean that it always is um, the other assumption that I saw here

655
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,760
is Linus is doing loads of interviews

656
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,920
So that he can go on more talks industry events be a speaker, etc

657
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:31,160
Um, that sounds like the probably the thing that Linus would hate most so

658
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:38,520
guys, um I've talked publicly already about why we went down to california

659
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,680
We haven't done any collabs in a while colin and samir have wanted to do something with us forever

660
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,600
And Colton lined up the um, Anthony padilla assumptions

661
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,040
Uh, is it is it a podcast kind of what is it interview?

662
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,960
Whatever thing because we were down there talking to colin and samir. Anyway, so that was back in

663
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,920
december November, I don't know. It was it was back. It was back last year

664
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,000
um As for the tonight show appearance

665
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:10,360
Completely random totally unrelated. There's a bunch of speculation in here that I was down there for tonight show and therefore I

666
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,520
Hooked up with colin and samir and Anthony padilla as well. They're not even on the same coast

667
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:21,960
right like Come on guys. Sometimes sometimes things just sometimes things just happen. We we've been in the mood to do some more collabs

668
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,880
We've also collabed with mighty car mods. We've also collabed with doug demuro

669
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:30,760
Um, just just relax guys relax guys. It's okay. It's okay

670
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,760
Um, what else what else we got here man? It was so fun

671
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Um

672
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,960
Next topic Do we move on? Yeah, I think so

673
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:55,880
I've got a lot of people asking would you go again? I would like to formally say I would love to yeah, I honestly the second it was

674
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:04,520
Announced as an idea on like Wednesday or whatever when it was going around internally. Yeah, um, my brain immediately jumped to like ces guy

675
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,480
Just like, you know do a thing every year or I mean maybe more often

676
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,160
Who knows well, I don't know but like it was it was a cool segment and I think

677
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:20,200
Tech has gotten more boring over the years, but clearly it's not like nothing's happening

678
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,600
Yeah, and it's not like there aren't people who are five years out of the loop that I could too show

679
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,640
industries that have been developing for years and years and years like non-standard audience like wearable displays, you know

680
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:36,680
Yeah, be like, okay. Yeah, but we're at the point now where it's like wow cool like these a lot of a lot of mainstream people if apple doesn't announce one

681
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,680
I don't I don't know what it is. Yeah, and even apple like dude

682
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:47,880
Do you know how easy it would be to find an apple person who like doesn't know anything about the vision pro because who cares about the vision pro

683
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,960
Uh, hold on. I'm trying to find uh, I'm trying to find the uh, I'm trying to find the outreach someone asked

684
01:04:54,680 --> 01:05:02,920
What I put in my rider And uh, so I want to find my I want to find my response email to them because I basically just said

685
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,960
um I

686
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,920
Said can you send me an example of a previous segment that would give me some idea of what format and what I should expect?

687
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,640
And then I said I'm five's deep in ces stuff right now, but I'll get back to you today

688
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:22,520
and then I said um

689
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,760
I'm five's deep. I don't know. That's an expression, right?

690
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:35,800
I know taylor says that all the time Uh, hold on. Where did I where did I say yes because I I basically was like

691
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,080
Uh, hold on hold on hold on

692
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,920
Basically nothing. Yeah Here we're just talking like

693
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,920
Okay, I think I missed it. I must have been like a one-liner or something, but yeah, I had nothing in my rider

694
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,920
I had no idea what to expect I've never done this before

695
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,800
It felt pretty cool to get the tap you know

696
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,440
I'd love to know we actually haven't gotten a lot of those

697
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,400
No, um, and you know what? I kind of get it

698
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,240
Like I'm not really tv ready You know

699
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:16,040
You did good by the end. You did very good by the end. I mean in other ways though. Like I like I literally

700
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,360
I saw I saw a couple people that were like yo Linus. You got to respect the

701
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:26,920
You know the dress code, you know, where's your suit? And I'm like, yo, I don't even like own a suit that fits. Yeah

702
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:33,000
and Okay, I could I could probably I could probably buy one but like that's never been me

703
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:42,840
That's never been My thing I think it's fine. Like the there was a there was a commenter that compared it to like animal handlers going on

704
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,880
On these types of live. I would love you're like tech bro guy. I would love to be

705
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:55,800
Animal handler tech guy of tech. I don't necessarily I wouldn't necessarily want to be like like pigeon hold

706
01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:02,200
Like I wouldn't know like at some point, you know, I would want to develop and and I don't I don't know how this works

707
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:08,280
And I haven't I don't know, but I'm just kind of talking out loud here. You know at some point. I would love to

708
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,560
I don't know. Well, whatever. I'll I'll be tech bro guy to start

709
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:19,640
Because because I got to know my role right so you wanted to like co-host it sometimes. Oh, oh heavens. No, you don't want to be bad

710
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:26,920
Oh, no Yeah, you do hosting the ten night show. I look how cool I am when I put these glasses on

01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:32,440
Whoa, oh, yeah I made it myself

01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:39,560
I went to home depot I am going to need a way different hairstyle if I'm going to be as effortlessly cool as bad bunny

713
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,560
I'll tell you that. Oh, luka died again for you

714
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:48,680

Perm yeah, I like that idea brick paint. Oh

718
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,480
anyway, so

719
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:10,120
Yeah, it was honestly It was an amazing week

720
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:14,200
Did you know that during ces we hit our all-time highest reviews in a day?

721
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,320
We're like reviews in a day views. Okay. We are like

722
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,120
Killing it. Yeah, hell yeah I was on flippin tv

723
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:31,640
It was uh, okay Basically, I am I'm still kind of riding the high to be honest with you. It has definitely been a week of all time

724
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,240
Yes, one of one of the weeks. It has definitely been a week

725
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,000
What would I wear next time?

726
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:44,200
Because you know, it's got to be from creator warehouse, dude. We have some stuff coming that is

727
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:52,520
Very cool Should I don't even know should I go cool or should I go like our professional like our nine to five line?

728
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:59,080
But what do you think? Giant logos, I don't I don't think you need to start going

729
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:05,640
Professional on it. Well, okay. If you want to get out of the tech bro niche then maybe you should

730
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,240
I don't even think I'm like tech bro with my style. I'm just like I'm more like

731
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,200
Yeah, the guy who works on your cabling like I'm not really it's definitely geeky though

732
01:09:14,440 --> 01:09:17,960
Yeah, fair enough if you want to get out of the like I am geek person

733
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:24,600
I come on here to be geek person The plane wants RGB fur coat. Okay, that is not happening

734
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,760
That would be cool if you want to be cool. I'd be pretty safe gb fur coat

735
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,560
You could have a little RGB cane made out of memory

736
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,160
rope belt dad hat

737
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:46,200
We wouldn't have to see your terrible hair. I mean flat hair. I mean good hair I didn't get the middle finger their crew is so much nicer than mine

738
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,040
Yeah, but we do it because we love you

739
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,480
Yeah, I don't know. I think I think it depends on the vibe of the episode that you're doing

740
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,520
If you're tech handler, yeah, then I don't know. We're geeky stuff. We're cool stuff

741
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:09,320
If you're trying to like I think you know what I think I if if

742
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:15,400
If I get the tap again, I am I think what I want to do for now is just

743
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:23,000
Do what they ask Because realistically I know my world and if they wanted to like come do a youtube video about technology

744
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:31,720
I'm sure that they would ask for guidance from me And so if if they want to do a tv segment, then I think I'll just keep doing what I'm doing which is

745
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,600
Hey, how do you want me to do this? You know, where's the edge in terms of humor?

746
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,960
Where's the edge in terms of like, you know roasting the host where

747
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:45,800
Because I asked a lot of questions in the lead up which is part of I think why I was so nervous because I was trying to

748
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:50,680
Remember the answers to my head because because I just I don't I don't know the vibe

749
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:56,600
I don't know what the proper etiquette is. Um, and like I said, they were so

750
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,080
Gracious and and so so helpful and so accommodating

751
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,360
Okay, yeah, let's move on though. Yeah new topic. Yeah. What do you want to talk about? Uh,

752
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:13,160
The switch do we talk about the switch? Let's talk about the switch. It's we have a full video coming tomorrow

753
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,800
As soon as possible. So it's going to be taking our saturday release slot

754
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:23,320
But it it will it will maybe come sooner depending on when the reviews are done

755
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:28,840
And like we're going to kind of step on the WAN Show's normal window to sit and get views with our switch to video

756
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:35,800
If as soon as it's ready But david put it together because of course it was david makes sense who who wrote it

757
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,640
And he tried to make it a little bit more in-depth than just

758
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,960
Here's a summary of what nintendo said in the announcement because you can't really make an eight-minute video

759
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:50,840
But a two-minute 22 second teaser Um, and instead what he did was he put together

760
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:57,480
A compilation of both what we know from the announcement and also what we

761
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:01,720
Probably know in sort of like a decreasing order of confidence

762
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:07,880
Interesting if that makes sense. Yeah, I like that. And so he managed to paint. Uh, what I think is is a really

763
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:13,400
Not complete because we don't know for sure and we don't normally report on rumor mill stuff

764
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,440
But what we can see is sources

765
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,480
That were somewhat validated By nintendo's video

766
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,800
So if they say yeah, it's gonna have this it's gonna have this it's gonna have this we see all that in the teaser

767
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:34,120
And they say oh by the way also this this this and this That adds credibility versus the sources that got a bunch of stuff wrong compared to nintendo's teaser if that makes sense

768
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:39,320
First question or is there oh, sorry. Sorry. Are we supposed are we supposed to do like a summary?

769
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:46,680
Uh, okay, do you want to read the thing? Sure. Yeah, uh in a very chill youtube video nintendo officially announced the

770
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:55,480
successor to the uber successful hybrid console Coming out this year their switch one shipped 146 million units

771
01:12:55,480 --> 01:12:58,440
It was the third best-selling console of all time behind

772
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:05,560
In first place the playstation 2 and in second place the ds. They showed off the new grown-up aesthetic

773
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:12,120
I don't know what that means. It looked really similar to me new joy cons two usbc ports interesting backwards

774
01:13:12,820 --> 01:13:16,600
compatibility for the most part and a new mario kart game

775
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:22,360
They also gave us april second 2025 as the date for the direct not the release date

776
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,000
But the direct where we will get more details

777
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:30,680
We're going to have our in-depth take with a breakdown of both the video and the rumors that announcement

778
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,520
blah blah blah everything Linus was just saying and then there's discussion questions

779
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,360
Discussion question. Yeah, will you buy one? Probably

780
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,640
Okay, so this I have a bone to pick with you

781
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:48,120
I saw that coming You talk a big game about thinking handheld pcs are cool

782
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:54,280
You never buy one nintendo releases something and you're like

783
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,280
Please daddy take my money. Please. Can you take my money?

784
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:06,040
I think with the switch There isn't going to be a new one for like what I don't know six years. So

785
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,480
with the steam the steam deck has had a

786
01:14:10,440 --> 01:14:16,360
Three year life so far four years when the steam deck comes. Yeah, but then there's been the ally and there's been all these other things

787
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,640
So what? So what that's saved it didn't nintendo as a long life

788
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:26,280
Oh, but you know, it's not long because sega might make a handheld again. What are you even talking about?

789
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,360
To a certain degree. Yeah, like the idea that it's different stuff

790
01:14:32,440 --> 01:14:36,440
Okay, I can play all the things that are going to be on one of the other handhelds on my pc

791
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,040
I mean nintendo might I will do that most about three and a half years for steam deck by the way

792
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,240
nintendo might not like me acknowledging this but you could certainly play

793
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,560
Lots of stuff on a handheld pc. I also don't do this

794
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:56,200
I mean, I actually don't I own I also I also want a switch and and it's just a better experience. Well. Yeah, that okay. This is fair

795
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:02,440
I only I only have a first-hand ally though and the battery life kind of sucks so much that I'd honestly kind of rather play on the switch

796
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,520
I also have the x like the rare switch that can do the thing

797
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,880
Which I haven't done But I do have the key that I made

798
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:20,360
Moving on those rare ones. Are those like the really early ones? Yeah, the early ones. Nice. I probably have one with you

799
01:15:20,440 --> 01:15:24,600
Luke's not done yet though. Okay I

800
01:15:27,480 --> 01:15:33,080
Depends on how much it costs. I might just not buy one because the the thing I was most excited about classic luke. Okay

801
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:39,560
it cost Wait, this costs money you offer latest thing I offer

802
01:15:40,440 --> 01:15:42,440
zero dollars

803
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,920
I don't know it depends the the there was a there was a bunch of things that got me excited in the video

804
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:53,800
You know, I'm happy with a bigger screen. I'm especially happy about bigger controllers. My goodness

805
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:59,080
That was my biggest problem with the original switch with the controllers just two. I felt like I was doing this the whole time

806
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:03,080
They're too small So happy about both of those things

807
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:08,200
But honestly the like main thing that I was like, oh good nice was when they announced backwards compatibility

808
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:13,320
Because I still have a bunch of switch games I haven't played So like at that point do I just wait until I've played those?

809
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:18,600
And then get whatever I don't know They'll have some like cool version or an upgraded version or something down the line

810
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:25,320
Maybe I get that like I don't I don't know that I'll get it on release I think I think I have a backlog of like three different switch games that I still need to play so

811
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:32,840
I don't know. I'm in no rush. Wow luke being like I have a backlog of three games as though that's going to impress you guys

812
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:42,920
Come on. I have a lot more What's your what's your unplayed? What's your unplayed q look like you have to just give the switch one

813
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,800
All right, all right because I've I've way more than that on pc

814
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:51,560
You can't list someone says 700 games You can't list every game you have in steam because you're not going to play all of those

815
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:59,240
You have to be real with yourself when it comes to your backlog Are you actually going to play this if not get it out of there passionate don't lie to yourself

816
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:05,080
Why are you so passionate about this 700 game? No, you don't you're not you don't have a 700 game backlog prove it

817
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,080
Prove it now. That's fair. That's fair. I can't do that prove it

818
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:15,080
All right, um, you're gonna play that you're gonna play that game that you got on a humble bundle code literally like

819
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,000
15 years ago. I don't think so. I'm buying one too

820
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,800
Yeah, of course The screen honestly looks kind of too big though

821
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:30,040
Big look at my hands Oh, no, do we have the wrong problem? What do you think about the controllers?

822
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:37,000
I think the controllers are still gonna be okay because even I found the original switch small kind of crampy

823
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,560
Yeah, you know what I realized though is I bought an original switch

824
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,360
When I had my bottom wisdom teeth out

825
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:52,280
It had just Oh, it's not gonna line up the timing's not quite right. I was so close

826
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:57,720
I got an original switch and I started breath of the wild when I had my bottom wisdom teeth out because I knew that

827
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,080
I was going to be stuck in bed with absolutely nowhere to go and nothing to do

828
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,240
So I was like, oh, I'm I'm gonna get a switch and I'm gonna play breath of the wild

829
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,680
I am having my top wisdom teeth out on

830
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:15,480
Sunday or Monday And switch to announcement, but we were so close. We were very close

831
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:19,000
We were so close to me playing switch two when I got my top ones out

832
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:23,400
So nintendo releases new game consoles on a schedule that is

833
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,400
Approximately aligned with whenever Linus needs a major tooth extraction

834
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,920
Man, if you don't get another one, they're just never gonna release another console. Um

835
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:39,960
I Did I ever send you a picture of what I did during my wisdom teeth thing because I got bored?

836
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,880
I don't know. I remember you doing too much

837
01:18:44,440 --> 01:18:48,920
Yeah, because you're luke. Yeah, that's a given. Got your thumbs up

838
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:56,920
I had uh Emma helped me with this actually, but she she wanted me to keep it just so I wouldn't have to like hold it there in bed

839
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:02,760
But we had like a scarf basically that we had put around my head to keep to keep the

840
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,920
ice packs

841
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:11,720
Looking like the old lady with the Yeah, so I just I just did like a a better version

842
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,920
Strapping it to my head essentially and then I found a way that my headphones could

843
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:23,240
Could fit over it and then instead of spending it all in bed. I just like sat at the computer and played games

844
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,280
With this contraption strapped my head

845
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,800
And it was awesome you are such a brilliant idiot

846
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:40,600
It was great imagine having such great mental capacity and using it for that

847
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:51,880
Much innovation. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Um our other question is what do you think the C button is for?

848
01:19:53,400 --> 01:20:00,920
I've seen Uh, what are some of the camera is something that it stood for on previous nintendo consoles

849
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:07,240
It could be connecting like if they have like a wii u type feature where you can remotely stream it

850
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:12,360
I would love I would love if they bring back streaming

851
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,120
and there is one

852
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:24,600
Somewhat credible it seems pretty credible actually There's one credible rumor that would seem to suggest that they might because it looks like it's not a c-stick guys

853
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:31,960
No, yeah, it's not it looks like the ampere generation GPU that it allegedly might allegedly have

854
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,960
Is not equipped with an ampere generation media encoder

855
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:42,280
It has a newer one. Oh, and so the only reason that I could think of why you would bother with that

856
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:49,160
Yeah, is for either locally recording gameplay, which I don't know man. That seems kind of far-fetched to me

857
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:54,600
or Streaming yeah streaming wirelessly

858
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,400
I'd be pretty cool. I'd be into that interesting

859
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:05,960
Um, we've got a comment from dot justin in the Floatplane chat Linus get sammy to vlog your wisdom teeth

860
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:11,880
We are so far ahead of you. We have Really really guys

861
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,840
Oh, you don't even know dude. We can't even say really

862
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,440
What? Huh? Is there something I don't know about? Oh, I

863
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,560
No, I think I don't know. I'm just gonna stop

864

Sorry, I lost the plot wherever Do you want a merch message? I have my hands shaking. You know what? Why don't I do the announcements first? Yes?

917
01:26:35,480 --> 01:26:43,240
For those of you who weren't tuned in at the beginning of the show We have delayed the launch of our mod mat not because it's not ready, but because of

918
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:50,360
Stuff I said previously on the show earlier on the show. Um, so we've gone with our backup launch, which is

919
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:57,240
Uh, this pin Here hold on Linus cam. There we go. Look at that

920
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:06,360
We heard you guys like backpacks So we made a backpack so you can put it on your backpack while you backpack that you could do that

921
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:14,120
But yeah, you could do I mean you technically you could put it on anything Um, it was designed by the one and only sarah, but and it can be yours for the low low price

922
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:19,400
Not including the wan cork board here of $249 and 99 cents

923
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,960
As part of our generous offer, we are also including

924
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:30,360
Oh An LTT backpack with your purchase of the pin that makes sense get it now at LMG.gg

925
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:36,200
slash backpack pin And just in case that went over anyone else's head not just luke

926
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,320
It's it's just it's a free exclusive pin with purchase of an og backpack while supplies last one

927
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:49,640
Oh Oh, finally our retro monitor pet caves are finally back our first stock

928
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:54,360
I forget how many was in our first order. I want to say like 400 units or something. I don't know it was gone in like

929
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:59,560
A day. Oh, it was more than that was like four grand more more what units. Yeah, it was a lot. No

930
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:04,920
No, I thought we went pretty low. No. Oh, maybe it was the second one. No, I think we went conservative

931
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:09,160
Anyway, they sold out 500 apparently. They sold out super fast

932
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:15,000
And then we went to reorder them and the top of production sample that we got back from the factory was

933
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,080
Unrecognizable it looked nothing like the first order

934
01:28:19,480 --> 01:28:22,200
And that is why you do a top of production sample

935
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:28,280
Before you do the mass production So we have new ones in that look great

936
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:33,640
They are up to the standards of quality from the original one, which my cats absolutely love mine, too

937
01:28:34,440 --> 01:28:41,000
It's got the same awesome pillow inside that has either a fuzzy side if you prefer softness or

938
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:48,360
An easier to clean Sleeker side if you prefer it being easier to clean and we hedged we hedged and for the sides

939
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,560
We went with the easier to clean material that goes inside

940
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,280
It has little dutes on the bottom to make it so it doesn't slip around as easily

941
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,640
I mean, you know realistically if your pet dives into it

942
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:03,800
It's still gonna move or whatever and it's designed to look like a retro crt monitor. It's so cute

943
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,520
Minor minor potential problem with the backpack pin

944
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,720
We have pin collectors that try to get all the pins that come up on the store

945
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,440
A lot of those pin collectors already own the backpack

946
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:20,200
Oh, do they have any friends who need a backpack? Well, I

947
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:26,040
I um I don't know how to deal with that. I don't know maybe

948
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:32,680
Uh, maybe we could hold some in tell you what I have no idea. Maybe just something to think about I offer

949
01:29:33,480 --> 01:29:36,840
We hold a handful of them in reserve for the next pin drop

950
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:46,120
you offer Acceptance of that. Is that acceptable? Could we do that? I'll have to wait for okay for the pin people to

951
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:53,320
Yeah, Dan. Can you maybe um, can you maybe throw that a message at me at like a nick or something like that?

952
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:58,760
Could we maybe throw that at nick? Maybe we hold hold back like some and then we might go to arty for that

953
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,200
I don't know if we can because when I announced it. I said exclusive

954
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,680
So if I if I if that's the commitment then that's the commitment, um

955
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:14,680
I don't know guys. I I gotta let I gotta let maybe maybe just somebody consider it

956
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:19,960
I gotta let that team do their stuff. I know the the pin collectors can get pretty serious about pin collecting

957
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:24,520
I got it. I got to let that team do their strat care a lot about their pins. Okay

958
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,840
um Sheesh cheese

959
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,880
Okay, cool. Let's uh merch massage

960
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:39,400
One person had an idea that if someone has a backpack they could send proof of purchase and then we could make the pin available for purchase independently

961
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:47,000
um The problem is that I guarantee you we would sell out all of the pins to the people who already bought backpacks

962
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,440
And I know the idea behind this was that it's like an exclusive pin if you buy a backpack

963
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:59,800
Let me let the Let's pitch them the ideas and let's let the team make their uh decision. Okay. I I I can't involve myself in every decision anymore

964
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:04,840
And I can't just like step on their toes. I wasn't trying to get a solution immediately. Just okay. Maybe somebody cool

965
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,560
Nerdle says what about just for me?

966
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:13,640
That says every pin collector. Uh, what do you want to talk about a merch message?

967
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:18,440
Mm-hmm Right a curated merch message. Um

968
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:24,520
Damn, hey, uh, there are a little strange tonight. Let's see. Uh, what's your favorite reptile?

969
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,240
Oh

970
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:32,280
Frog Wait for it

971
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:36,440
No, is that a reptile? No, it's an amphibian. It's fine. It's uh

972
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:43,320
Lizard, I'm just I'm waiting for reddit to correct me. Um, let me think

973
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:49,320
No, not dinosaur. They're birds We think we're not sure

974
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:51,800
Mark Zuckerberg

975
01:31:55,480 --> 01:32:02,200
He doesn't anymore he got the he got the 2.0 update. That's true. This is true. He hired a brand consultant finally

976
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:06,040
Yeah, and they even I should ask who this is and get his contact

977
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:15,400
Next time I appear on tonight's show if I get a chance Uh, why would mark be your favorite because it's a funny answer

978
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:22,440
Sometimes we give you guys a serious answer. Sometimes we just think of the most outlandish thing we can say and blurt it out

979
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:25,400
Yeah, and I'll let you guys sort out which one is which

980
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:31,720
I don't know. I'm looking into what I I I googled reptiles and one of the things that came up with

981
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:37,240
Was birds you googled reptiles. Yeah, I wanted to see a bunch of different examples google reptiles

982
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:43,880
Snake iguana, I know some of them But I was like what are what are some like random off the wall ones that I wouldn't necessarily think of I gotta say

983
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:48,520
I'm not really a reptile guy. This is why I googled it. Yeah, I um

984
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:52,280
I again, I know some example like I think I think they're cool

985
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,960
Which is cool. I had an iguana when I was a kid like we just

986
01:32:56,440 --> 01:33:01,400
Ended up with one bike accident like someone was rehoming one because that's what tends to happen with them

987
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:06,440
And they don't they don't like um, they don't have like a mammal or like an avian

988
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,040
brain like they're like the social they don't have a

989
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:15,400
They don't have an instinct to to socialize with humans. They just

990
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:18,280
I mean, yeah, they're cold-blooded, you know

991
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:24,360
Um, they're they're not really very interactive from my experience. Although, I mean you hear snake owners that are super happy

992
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:29,000
They love they love their snakes and stuff. Mr. Mr. Dankpots. Um, yeah

993
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,600
Oh All right, mike d78

994
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:39,000
Linus isn't really a reptile guy. Does that mean he has a reptile dysfunction?

995
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:45,960
Can I ding other people? I think you can I think when it's that good you can ding the other you can ding the thing

996
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:50,040
You got to do it. All right Very good. Very good. Very good

997
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:54,120
I'll I'll go with uh, sea turtles skink

998
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,880
Okay, okay That's a pretty uh

999
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:03,960
That's a pretty uncontroversial take. Yeah, I'm gonna go with uh, especially the the ones from finding emo

1000
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:12,920
So the ones that are like surfer dudes. Yeah, man, bro. Let's go. Fine. All right. I'm gonna go with red-eared slider

1001
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:20,920
I'm gonna go with a much smaller turtle. Cool. Okay. Yeah, I actually also had a few turtles when I was a kid

1002
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:25,400
Looking back, man, what didn't you have? We went through a lot of pets

1003
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,400
I've heard a lot of stories of pets. I've never heard of that one

1004
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:37,720
I don't know what happened to them. Um Like I I don't remember. No, I just don't remember like you don't eat them

1005
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,760
Like it's this was at my dad's house when I was younger

1006
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:44,680
this wasn't like on the farm where I had a pet goat and

1007
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,920
Was tricked into eating it. No, that was a completely different thing. Yeah, you don't eat the good one

1008
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,040
Yeah, so we had uh, we had shelly and

1009
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,720
I want to say like Igor or something because I don't know. He had like a weird uh, was shelly the turtle

1010
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:06,760
You know Anyway, I think there were either two or three and what I liked about them was we think of turtles as slow or at least tortoises anyway

1011
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:11,320
Oh, yeah, dude, they can They Frickin rip

1012
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:15,320
You ever seen a goldfish like swim kind of fast you ever seen a turtle

1013
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:21,800
Reach out Bite down on it and then have the tail and head fall down on both sides of the mouth. No

1014
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,320
I have wow. Yeah, they go dude. They go

1015
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:31,800
They frickin go. What's the goldfish's name? Uh, no, no, they were feeder fish Goldie. No, no, they're feeder fish

1016
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:35,240
You don't you don't name a feeder fish. What's your problem? What's wrong with you?

1017
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:41,960
That would be terrible Someone probably doesn't

1018
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:48,200
Uh Next one sure. Hey Linus I'm new to pc building and I instantly fell in love with it

1019
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:55,000
But I want to actually understand how the parts work and I'm struggling to find good sources any recommendations for learning

1020
01:35:55,320 --> 01:36:01,320
Oh Ball sack. What's that? Uh, what's that channel that has those really cool animated deep decks?

1021
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:06,200
Luke and I were talking about that the other week. I don't remember. I'm looking. It's pretty cool though

1022
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:11,480
Branch education. That's the one Yeah, go check out branch education

1023
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,400
Really really good, but but still accessible

1024
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:21,800
Um pretty long form videos on the lake cool on the on the how does it actually work?

1025
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:27,400
Because we'll give you a like a very high level what you need to know in order to select the right thing for your build

1026
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:33,560
They get into like no really like like how does how does it how do they been a 3090?

1027
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:42,360
It's great Very cool. Yeah, go check out go check out branch education. Pretty cool channel. Honestly, just all their stuff is sick. Yeah, really cool

1028
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:51,720
Uh question for Linus Did anyone behind the scenes try to talk you out of wearing socks and sandals on network television on the contrary?

1029
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:58,920
I was 50 50 Um, I would have had to replace my so the only two pairs of footwork footwork

1030
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:04,200
Sorry, badminton on the brain the only two pairs of footwear that I own other than my badminton shoes

1031
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:09,320
And my like rain boots and my hiking boots, you know, like like utility shoes

1032
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,680
I have a pair of dress shoes, but they're like super basic

1033
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:18,760
Are my vessi so I have my sandals and I have my vessi's those are the only two like daily driver footwear

1034
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:20,760
Is that I have but my vessi's are

1035
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:30,200
Skuffed you've had for a long time. Uh, yep. Yep. So are those the ones you wore to Tiffany's this is primer

1036
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:35,560
Yes, I wore these to Tiffany. All right. Well, yeah, we didn't get to see them when you're talking about that. That's paint

1037
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:41,000
And oh no, that's primer. Uh, this is from uh priming james's like like writing lead

1038
01:37:41,480 --> 01:37:52,520
Uh james's kitchen cabinets We were he he asked very nicely to use my new fancy sprayer and my spray booth and then um, I ended up, um

1039
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:59,960
I didn't well, I didn't no no no no no He did most of it after like the first day, but I was like I like showed him how it works and I was like

1040
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:06,520
See you later. He's like Uh, okay. Okay. I guess I'm helping get things going

1041
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:12,120
But that's what you know what you know what it was actually fun because people don't ask me

1042
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:17,160
People never ask me to like help them move or like

1043
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:22,920
Do guy stuff together like when they have a you know a project that needs to be done even you don't do it

1044
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:28,280
I don't you need much. Okay. That's true. Um, anyway. Oh man, these things these things are terrible

1045
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,280
Look at the bottom. I am fairly certain that it used to say vessi somewhere on the bottom

1046
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:38,760
I can't even imagine where I don't see it at all

1047
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:44,360
Oh here it is Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you can tell because the trial is right there. That makes sense

1048
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:49,400
That used to say that used to say vessi. It just looked particularly more worn than the rest of you

1049
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,440
Yeah, you can really see you can really see my uh, I'm sure I'm sure

1050
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:59,160
Ah, man, every time I get like I get medical analysis of like anything that I taught

1051
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:04,520
I'm sure that the foot experts out there are definitely are sending me sending me dms on the forum right now

1052
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,800
You should get some well You probably don't actually have this problem that much because of your my gait your sandal usage

1053
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:14,680
But I've been trying to look into like wide toe box shoes. Anyways, that's a whole anyway. I was on the fence

1054
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:19,560
I was 50 50. I was like, there's no way I can wear these on the show. I would I don't have time to get new ones

1055
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:24,280
So I'd have to just like go go get something in the morning. I don't want to do that to vessi to be honest

1056
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:28,760
Um, you have right. Yeah, it's not really fair. And then I was like but realistically like

1057
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:35,720
I don't know. It's kind of part of the shtick It's kind of part of the character to do the socks and sandals thing because I unironically

1058
01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:40,680
Do really like that style of footwear. Well, I don't like the style. What I like is the comfort

1059
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:45,720
Um, you know, they're they're comfortable. They're warm enough, but super breathable

1060
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:50,200
Nothing beats the breathability of a completely open shoe. And then it was actually nick light

1061
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:55,720
Uh, the creepy warehouse nick who was like If you don't do it, I'll riot

1062
01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:01,720
So I was like, okay. All right, let's go nick and then and then obviously I wanted to put on the prototype socks

1063
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:05,080
So that they're they're really good that I don't know if they're done done

1064
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:10,440
But they're we're getting there They aren't the same as my darn tuffs

1065
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:18,360
But what they are is also extremely good in slightly different ways. Sure. And uh, and I'm I'm I'm pretty excited

1066
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:20,360
Are you going with the like it has to not be worse?

1067
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,960
Yeah, I don't expect to beat them darn tough makes

1068
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:28,520
Outstanding socks and I would never say a negative thing about the quality of their product

1069
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:33,800
Period regardless of whether we're a competitor or whatever and right now we're not but we'd like to be

1070
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:38,120
But that that doesn't change the fact that they make a darn good sock

1071
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:40,840
Um and tough

1072
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:44,200
Do it it applies to him too

1073
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:51,960
Give me Dan Holy schnikeys. Are there ever a lot of merch messages? I think we're doing I think we're doing another one too

1074
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:57,480
What the heck are you people buying are they all pins? There are lots of pins. Oh, all right. That makes sense

1075
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:01,960
I'd like another one dude People like pins I can see that

1076
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:05,000
Um, people also like precision screwdrivers and bitcases

1077
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:09,160
And northern lights desk pads. Well, actually there's a lot of variety today. Interesting

1078
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:14,840
Oh peck peck caves. Yeah peck caves. Get them peck caves couch potato hoodies. Okay. Yeah, I'm just curious. All right

1079
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:21,240
Okay, Dan hit me Hey, lld last week you mentioned we're moving away from common GPU framework that all vendors could use

1080
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:27,720
What an open standard that could make use of invidia tensor and AMD Intel cores be possible

1081
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,600
Well, I think like we've seen in the past

1082
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,600
We're going to start with like we saw with gsync. For instance

1083
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:39,960
We're going to start with vendor proprietary implementations and then over time

1084
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:45,880
We're going to watch the rest of the industry play catch up and at such point as they play catch up well enough

1085
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:51,240
The proprietary standard will become meaningless and go away. That is kind of

1086
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:56,760
Our best case scenario It's like it's like with a lot of this stuff, right? Like ai right now

1087
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:00,840
Everybody's talking about ai all the time to the point where it gets incredibly exhausting and annoying

1088
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,840
Eventually that will just be part of the product. Like I don't think

1089
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,960
Every single thing is called smart anymore because it's like just kind of assumed. Okay

1090
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:17,160
I did a retake on a video recently because I referred to my phone as a smartphone and I was like

1091
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:21,400
What am I talking about? Yeah, what is a not smartphone? Yeah

1092
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:23,960
Sorry, okay, redo. Let's redo the clip

1093
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:29,800
I didn't even think about it until that very moment, which was I think in the last week or two

1094
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:34,280
So it's funny that we're talking about this so close to it. That is pretty interesting. Yeah, you don't say smart tv

1095
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:38,120
Yeah, you don't say smartphone. Well, and I've been I've been seeing you know, you see ads

1096
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:42,920
Especially coming off of ces you see all these things that are claiming like now with ai features

1097
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:46,280
And it's like this will be really cool when that goes away

1098
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:49,960
And it like will because eventually that's not going to be exciting

1099
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:54,440
It's not going to be a selling point because you're all going to have the same baseline level of that

1100
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:59,640
Junk and then you're going to have to find something else to be the selling point and everyone will move on

1101
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,960
You know what I figured out though Is in a way

1102
01:43:04,440 --> 01:43:12,200
I actually I think I get it a bit more get what the inclusion of that ai. Yeah, it's got ai. It's got ai

1103
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:19,400
It's with ai right now. It makes sense. Well Even even even if the ai like doesn't really do that much because you know what it does

1104
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,440
Is it tells you at a glance that this is the new one?

1105
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:28,360
If everyone is calling their latest product this ai

1106
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:32,360
Then if you throw ai on your latest product model name

1107
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:37,800
You don't have to rely on everyday average consumer to know if the thinkpad

1108
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:42,760
x 2695 mark 4 is the latest thing

1109
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:47,960
You just need to know. Oh, it's it's the new ai one. That's all that's all you need to know and I guess

1110
01:43:48,440 --> 01:43:52,040
From just like a completely normie branding standpoint

1111
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,920
I get it. That's rough even if it irritates

1112
01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:03,080
Me the like tell me how many stream processors are in it and how much cash it has guy

1113
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:07,160
Doesn't really care about that the worst version of that was when everything was called one

1114
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:16,760
That's not over. I didn't like x It's terrible piss me off because a lot of people skipped nine to go to x

1115
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:23,960
And then they expect you to say 10 Yeah, I refuse one is still a thing though

1116
01:44:24,440 --> 01:44:27,640
Like Dan, what's your phone called mine is the one

1117
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:33,720
Five and they just know it's the one v because the second part of the numbers in the roman numerals

1118
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:38,200
But they also have the five so it's the five five and the five's the bad one

1119
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:44,600
Sony man get it together. What are they doing? Get it together, sony with your xperia phones

1120
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:52,280
We got um aggressive 99 asking badminton hall update when

1121

1125
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:18,120

1126
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:21,640

Calibre sport systems. Um, these guys are the installer for our floor

1129
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:39,160
We obviously had the quality issue with the initial product. Yeah, but I have had so many contractors

1130
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:44,360
Make that my problem over the years And these guys to their credit

1131
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:54,520
Have not breathed a word About any kind of additional labor charge in spite of the enormous amount of extra work that it's going to be to uninstall one of their things

1132
01:45:54,680 --> 01:46:00,360
And then reinstall Some other product that we ordered separately. They gave me a very fair

1133
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:05,480
Credit for the material that we weren't using Um, and they're not done yet

1134
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:11,800
But they have acted in such good faith that I just wanted to I just wanted to show them out as one of the first

1135
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:22,200
like Contractor companies that I have encountered here in the lower mainland that does not seem to f*** around. So, um, yeah

1136
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,120
Thanks guys Shout out appreciate you

1137
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:32,840
They've been so communicative and about like getting on site and coordinating with the delivery of the of the new flooring material and everything

1138
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:38,360
So we're really excited to be open open. We, um, we launched our memberships on the 14th

1139
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,880
So memberships are active. We have, uh

1140
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:47,960
Okay, I don't know if I should give we have a lot of members immediately, which is pretty exciting

1141
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:53,640
We did a founding membership, um a founding membership deal at a discount and just to get some momentum

1142
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:56,200
And I'm I'm very excited about it. It's going to be awesome

1143
01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:05,080
All right. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Uh, real rea felloo says, uh, why is the backpack an animal pin $250

1144
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,120
It oh no, they figured it out. They figured it out

1145
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:13,560
Linus comes with a better Comes with a backpack

1146
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:19,080
Okay, uh, what are we supposed to be doing right now? Uh, you should probably do the rest of your topics. Oh topics

1147
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:23,960
Yes, and then we'll do merch messages after that. Okay, so I have a bamboo Labs printer

1148
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:28,520
Other than mistakes that I have made that have made it not work as well

1149
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:33,320
It has been fairly reliable. So basically what I'm trying to say is I've spent a lot of time fixing it

1150
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:38,520
But it's mostly on me. Um, I have my setup like locked in right now and my kids

1151
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,440
Love it, especially my eldest daughter. She is

1152
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:48,360
Constantly on the bamboo printer. Uh, her latest thing is printing out things to paint

1153
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:53,960
Oh, that's cool. Yeah, super cool. That's actually I don't think I've seen a ton of examples

1154
01:47:53,960 --> 01:48:00,680
That's such a good idea. That makes a ton of sense Yes, it's thanks. So she'll she'll print out things and she'll so she she printed out a bunch of flexi cats

1155
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:05,160
And painted them like all of our cats. Oh, that's with Yvonne and her sister

1156
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:15,480
Anyway Anyway, she's having a blast with it. Oh my god, can she paint our birds?

1157
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,880
I don't see why not. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah message message my son

1158
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:24,920
You you have him on on social. Well, not now, but like I just mean whenever just my brain is a sieve

1159
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:31,640
I will forget this I'm sending you a scheduled message. Oh, thanks, Dan. So bamboo

1160
01:48:33,480 --> 01:48:40,440
Bamboo, this is not cool Um, I just want to shout out. Uh, nick johnson in the bamboo lab subreddit

1161
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,360
Uh, who put together what I think is such

1162
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:49,720
a succinct thorough respectful post

1163
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:55,000
About what a big deal it is that bamboo Labs is removing third party printer access

1164
01:48:55,720 --> 01:49:04,360
if What's up? What does that mean? Basically what it means is that you will not have the ability to use third party software such as orca slicer or panda touch

1165
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:10,840
It will not be able to connect directly to your printer. That's icky. This is well, it's icky and it's also

1166
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:18,520
according to bamboo Labs to um, help with authentication on the printer to avoid any kind of

1167
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:24,840
Remote access by a malicious third party to the camera, for instance, or to print to your printer

1168
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:33,400
this Seems like they could have implemented it better if they weren't rushing and in such a way that it doesn't break this

1169
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:42,280
compatibility But what what nick johnson encourages people to do and this is why I like his post so much is he doesn't just wine

1170
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:47,400
I can't believe i'm on reddit right now What you can do about it

1171
01:49:47,480 --> 01:49:53,000
Don't update your printer's firmware. They will likely be tracking installation counts. Make it clear. You won't run this firmware

1172
01:49:53,640 --> 01:50:00,680
Contact bamboo Labs politely express your concerns using their support portal and you actually provide some templates for you to

1173
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:09,320
Copy paste what your concerns are Vote with your wallet stop buying bamboo Labs consumables and consider alternatives

1174
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,800
until they reverse course

1175
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:17,480
Withdraw your support on maker world and spread the word

1176
01:50:17,480 --> 01:50:23,560
So this is so professional. Yeah, this is a person working communication. I don't know but uh, but shout out and

1177
01:50:24,440 --> 01:50:30,840
I agree I will not be updating my printer because I love having convenient unauthenticated remote access and it sits in a room where I

1178
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,680
Quite frankly couldn't care less if somebody's looking at the camera of what i'm printing

1179
01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:40,280
Um, so that's that's my that's my stance on it. I don't believe they can force an update

1180
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:43,960
I just hope my kids don't accidentally do it. I'll have to after remind them of that

1181
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,280
And that's how I ended up with Windows 11 on my vipc

1182
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:54,040
And like it broke a bunch of driver stuff Kids like thank you microsoft for your update freaking dark patterns

1183
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:59,720
Anyway, uh, so yeah, I wanted to get that one out there. That was just a quick round dimension. What else we got today

1184
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:08,520
Ooh Do you want to get into like a main top? Oh my goodness. We have so many topics left luke tick tock. What are we gonna do tick tock?

1185
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:18,920
Yeah, sure Goodbye tick tock today january 17th the supreme court unanimously upheld the federal ban of tick tock starting sunday the 19th

1186
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:23,320
It's coming very soon Since it failed to be sold to an american-based company

1187
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:28,680
The origin of the ban was concerns over security risk due to its ties to china. Well

1188
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:31,880
Sorry with white house press secretary. Ooh

1189
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:37,880
kareen jean pierre Saying tick tock should remain available to americans

1190
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:46,440
But simply under american ownership or other ownership that addresses the national security concerns identified by congress in developing this law

1191
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:54,280
president elect donald trump has expressed interest in looking into this and possibly reverting the ban once he takes office

1192
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:59,640
The app also will not be deleted from phone similar to this is a side note

1193
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:05,640
But similar to flappy bird back in the day Yeah, remember if you had a phone that had flappy bird. Yeah, it was like worth more money on evening

1194
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:11,400
Yeah, you could sell it like an old like ipod or whatever you could yeah where we might literally have that again

1195
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:15,400
Um, which is kind of wild, but we'll see so yeah

1196
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:22,040
I won't be deleted from phones, but it will be removed from app stores receive no more updates and the us base servers and connections will be

1197
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:28,520
Oh, whoa The us base servers and connections will be disconnected on january 19th

1198
01:52:29,480 --> 01:52:33,960
Okay, interesting. I don't know how much that's gonna matter

1199
01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:40,200
It's probably fine Canadian data server is gonna go hard

1200
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:45,640
Burr. Yeah Anyways, uh as a result in the last week

1201
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:57,720
Xiao hong shu Red note aka red note skyrocketed to number one on the us app store as tick tock users migrated over in preparation for the tick tock ban

1202
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:05,240
So I want to jump in with a little insert here I was talking to andy from our team who's been on red note for a while and he

1203
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:11,880
Absolutely loves it. He showed me a bunch of really cool features. Um, the the browse functionality is

1204
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:17,480
Honestly, really cool. You can like browse by uh by interests and stuff like that

1205
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:24,200
Up at the top level, uh, the ability to uh, you can post more than just videos like you can post videos

1206
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,600
But you can live stream. Uh, you can post text along with your video

1207
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:33,800
You can post pictures like you can kind of post anything on it. Um, and the discussion

1208
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:41,960
Uh, the discussion functionality under the posts is really rich. You can interact with other people's posts. You can post pictures

1209
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:49,240
Um, oh wow in the in the discussions. Yeah, and there's thread like thread based discussions. Um, it's it's it looks very interactive

1210
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,880
if only The end user license agreement didn't basically

1211
01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:56,760
Wasn't much worse than tick tock

1212
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,080
I was reading through a summary of it and it's like

1213
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:08,520
Basically, you just yield everything to the to the chinese communist party like, okay

1214
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:13,320
Sure, excuse me. Communist party of china. Sorry, uh, president. She sorry

1215
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:21,160
um Anyway, carry on. I saw I saw some some, uh, some joke about the north american users

1216
01:54:21,480 --> 01:54:25,720
Ignoring the to s for for red note. Um, just like

1217
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:28,600
Oh well, uh, anyways

1218
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:36,840
Okay, let's see. Yeah, as tick tock users migrated over in preparation with the tick tock band with some people even making a joke about

1219
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:41,880
Moving to an even more chinese app. Um, saying things like I signed up

1220
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:45,000
Specifically so the ccp can get their data

1221
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:49,640
Elijah says my favorite comment on this so far was

1222
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:56,200
Realistically tick tock hasn't had my sin phone number address email bank teal details or insurance details leak

1223
01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:01,000
Whereas every american app has so as far as i'm concerned the ccp can have it

1224
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:08,040
At least they're taking better care of it. That's funny But actually I I don't support that

1225
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:12,840
No, it is right. We were making we were making hee hee ha ha's. Um,

1226
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:16,680
Unfortunately, this migration has bothered some of the existing user base

1227
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:20,760
Okay, i'm gonna add some editorialization to this in a second, but unfortunately

1228
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:27,880
I'm gonna say what it says Unfortunately, the migration has bothered some of the existing user base with red note even releasing an update to allow filtering of ip's

1229
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:32,680
Which could block off chinese americans from trying to connect back home with family or friends

1230
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:36,120
I have also heard that it's actually been super wholesome as well

1231
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:39,400
There's been a lot of like friendly bonding over it

1232
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:43,560
I'm sure i'm a hundred percent certain some people are bothered. They just

1233
01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:51,720
This community of people that used an app Just got plowed over by this massive wave of people diving and be like, what is this?

1234
01:55:51,800 --> 01:56:00,360
What's happening here? What's going on? And that's gonna be fun for some people It's not gonna be fun for other people, but there was like there was uh americans helping chinese people with their english homework

1235
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:05,720
There was like all this like just asking questions back and forth like really interesting conversations

1236
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:09,560
Don't ask me how I know, but orphaned communities

1237
01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:15,880
Um can can often be very warmly received by the users of the uh of the

1238
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:24,440
Orphanage of the absorbing community. Yeah, um like for instance, I have heard tell that um private trackers

1239
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:27,720
That get shut down will sometimes be

1240
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:34,520
Adopted by other private tracker communities. I don't know. It's uh, it's like a weird Linux thing

1241
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:38,200
Don't really know anything sharing isos and yep. Yeah

1242
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:46,040
Uh anyways american social media apps want users though with substack even offering a

1243
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,560
$25,000 tick tock liberation prize to users who post the best

1244
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:55,240
Tick tock to inspire people to join substack

1245
01:56:56,040 --> 01:57:00,920
Sure, I don't think that's gonna happen bruh Uh, but anyways

1246
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:08,120
Nice try There's a lot of discussion questions here, but realistically, I don't think we're gonna get into does banning a communication app

1247
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:13,480
Go against the whole point of the first amendment. We'll let the americans sort that out. Good luck america not even our country

1248
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:17,160
So have fun. See you later. We have enough problems of our own right now

1249
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:25,880
Should should I run should I run for prime minister? Well, I just unplugged myself, but yeah, do it do it do it

1250
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:30,440
Then you can sign linustown into law Yeah

1251
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:35,560
No, canada will just become linustown our currency isn't gonna be worth anything anyways pretty soon

1252
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:40,600
So you can just Linus coin can just take over the cad. Okay the great white tips. Okay

1253
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:43,400
Hear me out great white north

1254
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:50,920
If If the us proposal for absorbing us hold on hold on

1255
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:58,200
If that just hold on listen to me if the us proposal for absorbing us because realistically

1256
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:03,000
I mean trade deal mode. I mean most of the states seem to operate like their own bloody countries anyway

1257
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:06,200
Yeah, is that the point? So if we were if we were formally

1258
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:14,280
All individual states Okay, so we're the 51st 52nd 53rd, etc. If we were all individual states hold on hold on hold on

1259
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:18,520
With our own state constitutions. Are they actually numbered sorry to

1260
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:25,480
No, I don't think so Is there an order? Is there an official order? I don't know. I don't believe so. I'm not an american geography major

1261
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:31,320
Okay, okay. Hold on. Hear me out. Hear me out. So if we were all individual states with our own state constitutions

1262
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:39,000
Like they have okay. Yep And the deal was hey if you don't do a rebellion very much

1263
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:45,160
We will trade your canadian dollars one to one for us dollars

1264
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:51,720
As part of making you formally american I

1265
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:56,680
Rate your warmth about the idea on a scale of one to ten

1266
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:01,960
For myself like I'm fine

1267
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:09,000
so zero That would probably be really good for a lot of people though. The like genuinely canada's economy is in the

1268
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:15,000
Disgusting dumps like it's and it's really bad and basically every indicator

1269
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:19,160
We have is that it's probably going to get worse before it gets better for quite a few years

1270
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:24,040
And we have no indication of what could be coming in the future that will make it better none

1271
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:28,040
Like it's it's horrible. We're propped up by real estate

1272
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:33,000
In much the same way that the chinese economy was for a long time and

1273
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:38,760
We just have nothing else going for it though. Yeah, like they they did

1274
01:59:39,320 --> 01:59:44,200
Yeah, they were the world's shopping mall, right? Everyone buys things from china

1275
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:53,000
Um Yeah, I don't I'm not going to go into all that but it would it would honestly save like a lot of people

1276
01:59:53,080 --> 02:00:00,760
I don't know. I've had this same thought but Kind of different like have you have you seen he's kind of postured to everything that's near him right now

1277
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:05,640
So that he's looking at greenland canada mexico, right? Just I don't know if I just spin around in a circle

1278
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:07,640
what are my arms hit um and

1279
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:18,040
Cuba have you looked at no not us again That's 11 place we're finally left out. Um pop you I mean that's sort of their whole issue

1280
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:23,320
Greenland I can't I type yeah, so I looked this up

1281
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:30,360
This is what is this google trends a population of greenland greenland is growing like crazy

1282
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,640
Oh, no, it's flat. No, it's really flat. Oh, no, it's super flat. Sorry. I didn't realize the timescale. I was looking at

1283
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:41,560
There's also I thought I was looking at like the last couple years Wait, there's only 56,000 people in the whole place

1284
02:00:42,280 --> 02:00:46,680
So, okay, it's not as big as it looks on your flat map though. That is something to consider

1285
02:00:46,760 --> 02:00:53,240
Yeah, yeah, canada also isn't either but greenland gets that like real hard when you when you scale greenland down it

1286
02:00:53,720 --> 02:00:58,360
Yeah, it's big, but it's not as big as it's not as big as you think but still 56,000 people

1287
02:00:59,960 --> 02:01:05,640
He could he could if it came I don't think it would really yeah, uh because it's denmark, right?

1288
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:09,480
But um, if it came down to a vote of people in greenland

1289
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:12,520
Not in denmark. You could definitely just like

1290
02:01:13,240 --> 02:01:20,760
Hard buy everyone There's only 56,000 of them. You could like how much would it cost to make all of the millionaires?

1291
02:01:23,720 --> 02:01:27,960
56,000 million dollars than what you would expect to buy a country

1292
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:33,320
Yeah, I mean I guess but I mean buying countries and stuff like was a thing

1293
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:40,280
It's not like the us didn't buy a lot of the land that is now currently the united states of america. Yeah, however legit those deals

1294
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:42,520
Well, that's

1295
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:50,600
Not a us geography and also not a us history major. So yeah, maybe don't listen to us

1296
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:57,320
Um, but yeah, I just I think it's there's really not that many people like there's more people and there's way more people in Langley

1297
02:01:57,560 --> 02:02:03,560
I know you haven't done the math So how how much money do you actually think that is to make every person in greenland a millionaire?

1298
02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:06,840
Don't don't no no. Did you what were you what would did you have in mind 5.6?

1299
02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:12,520
So it's 56 billion 56 billion. That's a lot of money. That's one factor off. I mean realistically. Is it for the states?

1300
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:24,840
I mean is money even real? American like yearly is money even real for america. That's uh, that's

1301
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:34,680
Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. That's five times what Jeff Bezos made in 2024. See that's why that's why I'm going to the gold standard with my personal finances

1302
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:40,440
Oh, you won my vote. There you go. I will no longer be dealing in paper money from here from here on out

1303
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:42,440
Oh, you're just gonna gold brick people

1304
02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:49,880
Hey, I need to buy my land plane. Here's a brick of gold

1305
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:56,760
Oh Anyways, yeah, federal but what's funny for 2022 was 6.5

1306
02:02:57,480 --> 02:03:03,640
6.75 trillion. Okay, they'll probably handle it. Okay. I think they'd be I think they could buy that a million dollars

1307
02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:07,800
You know, what's funny one of the Porsche dealerships that I was talking to when I bought my tycan

1308
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:12,680
um Told me that they like regularly deal in all kinds of

1309
02:03:13,560 --> 02:03:20,680
Like like not legal tender things Whoa, like like yeah, you could if you brought in if if you could have the assayed value

1310
02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:25,560
Proven or whatever like they'd basically take anything for payment. I was like what what?

1311
02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:31,720
Or was it was it Porsche or was it another brand? I don't remember but yeah, I did encounter a car dealership once that like

1312
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:39,800
brought up Un unprompted that they would take gold for payment. I was like, are you kidding me so I could buy a car with the balloons

1313
02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:45,240
People are yelling at me about american things. I don't know dude. I don't care. We're canadiens

1314
02:03:45,320 --> 02:03:49,160
So it's like look at the american debt clock. I don't even know what that is. It's crazy

1315
02:03:49,400 --> 02:03:54,440
You don't know what the debt clock is. Oh, this thing's crazy. Hold on. Hold on the debt clock. We trust me guys

1316
02:03:54,520 --> 02:04:00,280
We have so many So many problems up here real time. We gotta look at ourselves for a little while real time

1317
02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:04,360
Kevin's got some work to do. Okay. Here we go. This is money gained value

1318
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:09,000
Okay, I don't know. I don't know what can I can I make this go away? I just want to see the debt clock

1319
02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:12,760
It looks like you installed all the browser parts. Okay, whatever the point is here

1320
02:04:13,320 --> 02:04:18,520
So, um, you can watch the debt per citizen and you can watch the us national debt go up

1321
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:20,760
So that just ticked over a million dollars

1322
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:23,880
Um

1323
02:04:26,680 --> 02:04:30,760
Let's just wait for the rest of this million. So we've done half a million dollars since I said a million dollars

1324
02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:38,680
Like they they do they do have some challenges as well. They do have some challenges as well. There you go. There's another million dollars

1325
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:43,800
It's wild Yeah

1326
02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:48,840
Yeah, good luck america, but at that point where I want 56 billion more

1327
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:54,040
It's just by a whole country. Can you imagine the amount of minerals that are under that huge punkarock?

1328
02:04:54,840 --> 02:05:00,040
Uh, maybe there's some, ah, I don't know. I don't know. Don't don't say it. Maybe they'll hear you

1329
02:05:00,600 --> 02:05:05,240
Don't say it Oh

1330
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:15,080
You guys do know what he's doing, right? This is all the distraction. So they don't come for canada

1331
02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:18,840
Alberta

1332
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:27,720
No rats, that's it. It's just mountains and uh, and and then less mountainous areas. Yeah, this is you want to hear

1333
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:32,760
interesting canada facts map map of

1334
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:40,280
Rats in the world. Is that gonna? Yeah. Yeah, that's that's the best canada fact. Oh, dude. Yeah here luke laptop global rat distribution

1335
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:48,760
There's just So where it's completely freezing cold, there's no rats and then randomly there's just this

1336
02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:56,120
Little thing there because for some reason one of our provinces just doesn't they they eradicated rats

1337
02:05:56,120 --> 02:06:00,840
They they went hard. It's super hard. They did the like australian emu war

1338
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:05,640
But they did it against rats and they won. Yeah, they actually eliminated

1339
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:10,280
Rats from the province of alberto, which is hilarious

1340
02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:17,560
Insane so so well you guys are cool story. It's a cool rabbit hole rat hole american things a rat hole sounds like a way worse thing than a

1341
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:24,280
Rabbit hole. Yeah, have you heard of it? What is it called a rat king? No? Yeah, those are sad rat king rat king

1342
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:29,160
Yeah, you don't actually want to like show this on screen um

1343
02:06:29,160 --> 02:06:33,960
A rat king is a collection of mice or rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together in some way

1344
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:42,360
They get like stuck And they're like climbing over each other whatever their tails get tied together and then they get stuck and they can't work out of it

1345
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:49,000
And it's like actually horrible. They just died. Yeah. Oh, so you end up finding this like being such a bundle of

1346
02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:52,920
I don't know This is why we have to get rid of them. Yeah

1347
02:06:53,320 --> 02:06:56,840
Alberta cured the world They led the way

1348
02:06:56,840 --> 02:07:03,880
Yeah, Linus media group has started posting our internal 3d printing designs. Oh, that's good news. That's a good good idea

1349
02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:07,160
Yeah, let's go with that. So I asked for this like over a year ago

1350
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,760
Anyway, it takes time it takes time for us to compile things and have someone take the lead

1351
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:15,560
This is not a revenue generating activity So just because I ask for it doesn't mean that people are like

1352
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:20,440
I will immediately work on this because it's the most valuable thing I can do. I get it people prioritize

1353
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:22,840
But it is something that I have followed up on

1354
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:32,600
Sometimes because we design all this cool stuff CPU holders screwdriver holders all kinds of stuff and uh, I someone said rat kings are a myth

1355
02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:37,960
I'm gonna decide that is a fact and just move on. Okay, cool. Um, so we design all kinds of cool stuff

1356
02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:41,720
And then we just we just sit on it. We do nothing with it. We have no like

1357
02:07:42,440 --> 02:07:48,600
Universal repository for it to make even for us internally to make it easier to find all of these design files. Where's the rest of our stuff?

1358
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:56,440
We're working on it. Okay. So so anyway, it's finally there printables.com at Linus tech tips. So we've got the

1359
02:07:57,240 --> 02:08:01,240
magnetic cable management power bar screwdriver holders. So it's got the

1360
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:06,200
Basically, it's got the little keyhole in the back so that you can put our magnetic cable management on it

1361
02:08:06,200 --> 02:08:11,080
And you can just attach your screwdriver to anything metal. Yeah, just pretty cool. We've got um

1362
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:17,880
The desk pad tester. I mean, yeah, sure. Why why not? Uh, our hot air rework station tip rack

1363
02:08:18,280 --> 02:08:23,720
Uh, we've got our sonos connect amp wall mount. That was a dandy. I did that one. I'm very proud of that

1364
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:29,640
We've got our fiber insulation wall mounting plates. These are super cool. These are from uh, jakes video where we

1365
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:36,680
Acoustically treated the server room. Those are sick. It'd be kind of cool for us to include. Oh, yeah, so there you see you can see

1366
02:08:36,760 --> 02:08:41,320
It's uh, it's driven into the stud behind it and then it holds the insulation onto the wall

1367
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:49,000
And then we put a duvetine and then we have this metal plate here So you just put a ring magnet on it to hold the duvetine or to hold the uh, the fabric in place over top of it

1368
02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:53,720
That was from before we launched mcm. So we just had buckets and buckets of ring magnets

1369
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:58,760
Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, so we have a bunch more stuff that we're going to be adding over time

1370
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:03,720
People are already remixing them, which is super exciting for me. I think that's super cool. I want us to be

1371
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:06,520
I want us to be part of that

1372
02:09:07,960 --> 02:09:12,360
Part of that culture, you know, I want us to contribute. Yeah, there's always a bunch of lab stuff

1373
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:16,600
So we do this too. That's cool. Spurger and float plate chat said there's more. There is more

1374
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:22,040
Um, I know of at least a few Um, I have so many

1375
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:27,480
Yeah, because we have the the CPU trays the CPU trays. They're all individualized. We have the RAM trays

1376
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:34,520
We've got all the random garbage I've done Oh, I bet you they're trying to figure out how to do things like the individualized stuff

1377
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,800
I don't know. Oh, no, no, they're all like, you know, we're just stls

1378
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:42,600
Yeah, but like Filing them nicely

1379
02:09:42,600 --> 02:09:46,360
I guess maybe maybe you just like name them name them. Yeah, maybe that's it

1380
02:09:46,840 --> 02:09:49,960
I don't know. Dang it. I'm I'm just trying to figure out why they wouldn't be up, but

1381
02:09:50,760 --> 02:09:52,760
I'm trying to find a effort

1382
02:09:53,800 --> 02:09:59,000
Fair Would you want me spending a few hours uploading? No, no, there you go

1383
02:10:00,120 --> 02:10:08,360
It's not you didn't do this, right? There we go Took me a while to find it because this may surprise you, but the subreddit is um, pretty active right now

1384
02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:17,400
A little a little busy. Yeah, they're doing stuff Check this out. Are they being cordial? Somebody already remixed it to go on the the Ikea walnut thing. Oh, nice

1385
02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:20,600
That's awesome. A lot of people have those. So that's probably good

1386
02:10:20,680 --> 02:10:24,280
Yeah, so I want to I want to see more of that kind of stuff. I'm like, yeah, I don't know

1387
02:10:24,280 --> 02:10:30,840
It's cool. It's ever since I remember I think I was I think I was sitting in the creator warehouse engineering area

1388
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:36,280
Um, and I was looking at someone had created like a really cool holder for

1389
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:42,440
I don't even think it was for a finished product. It was for like keeping track of the parts for an in-progress project and I was like

1390
02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:50,920
We designed so much cool like 3d printed crap that and I know you designed that there's no way that you downloaded something that specifically like

1391
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:55,800
And and they're like, oh, yeah, it doesn't take that long and I'm like, right, but it takes a long time for people who aren't you

1392
02:10:56,600 --> 02:11:01,000
So we should release this stuff. This would be so cool. So we're finally freaking doing it and I'm really excited about it

1393
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:06,360
Yeah, that's okay. What else are we talking about? What do you want to talk about next?

1394
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:10,920
Oh, it says we plan to publish a new model at least once a quarter. So the next one would be sometime in March

1395
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:13,720
Oh, we could we could do them faster than that you guys send it

1396
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:19,880
Oh Well, okay. Well, I will advocate internally for us to hurry our butts up and get more stuff up there. Okay

1397
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:25,000
Send it. I want the CPU holders up there people have asked for them so many times signed it

1398
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:31,720
It's anyone is anyone watching from the whoever's working on this? No, I don't see anyone in chat. Okay, cool

1399
02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:39,640
Linus's a plus certification was ripped right directly out of his hands. He was holding onto it. No

1400
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:46,520
Denied three months after our video on comptia's a plus exam was removed from youtube and flow plane

1401
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:50,360
Linus's a plus certification was finally revoked

1402
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:53,480
We received an email from piercing views

1403
02:11:54,280 --> 02:12:00,920
Credly digital credential service late last week and confirmed it via comptia's verification website

1404
02:12:02,040 --> 02:12:05,080
We can check for ourselves live on the show if you guys would like here we go

1405
02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:08,120
Watch it be reinstated. They'll be genuinely. Okay

1406
02:12:09,800 --> 02:12:15,640
FMK are you a robot? Uh, no, but the type the code. Oh, oh balls

1407
02:12:16,280 --> 02:12:25,800
Well, there's your problem No robot could be this stupid. So I'm sure this will work this certificate. Oh, no longer valid. Oh

1408
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:37,400
The tonight show is going to be embarrassed Bringing on a tech guy tech person on who doesn't even have who doesn't even have a plus certification from non-certified from comptia

1409
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:41,320
non-certified fail Absolute failure

1410
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:47,480
That's rough Well, hey, we are coming up on the five-year anniversary of the i'm thinking of retiring streams. So

1411
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:52,680
It's over now. Maybe I only needed to think about it for just five years. Unfortunately. It was forced and then I'll be right

1412
02:12:52,680 --> 02:12:56,760
You know what? Sorry. I'm coming back to this night show again because I gotta say

1413
02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:01,960
I feel actually kind of invigorated by it

1414
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:07,240
I feel like it's an opportunity for us to get for us to share that like

1415
02:13:07,720 --> 02:13:13,800
Like real real tech s***. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah with a with a completely new audience and uh

1416
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:19,240
I find that really exciting. That's cool. Yeah. Anyway, nice. Um, I'm thinking of doing

1417
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:26,280
A five-year update stream or five-year update video. I've been kind of putting it off. I've had a lot on my mind lately

1418
02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:35,800
You don't say yeah, um Sammy wanted me to do it as a short. I'm like sammy. No, I'm like sammy. How am I supposed to do this as a short?

1419
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:41,400
He's like, don't worry. I'll cut it down. I'm like sammy. It's if I do like a what how I've been feeling for the last five years

1420
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:45,480
You're not gonna be able to cut it down to three minutes. He's like, I think I could do it. I'm like sammy

1421
02:13:46,200 --> 02:13:50,520
No, we're not shooting this today. He tried to get me to shoot it today right before my end show

1422
02:13:51,560 --> 02:13:57,320
Sammy, I love you dude, but uh, he's trying to hit his quotas man. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, he's dude

1423
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:01,640
Dude, it's a hustler. I had to talk to him at CES about not, uh

1424
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:09,080
Biting off too much sometimes. He's a hustler. He's a hustler. Yeah, he's a hustler and he works hard for the float playing community

1425
02:14:09,240 --> 02:14:15,160
He really does. I think he genuinely like cares about the float. He does a lot. I seem in the comments all the time

1426
02:14:15,240 --> 02:14:21,080
Yep. Yep. No. No. Love sammy. There was I was I was looking through the comments on one of my show tour videos

1427
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:26,680
Which I had a actually a lot of fun filming. Oh, yeah, that's uh, these these are these are hilarious, dude

1428
02:14:26,920 --> 02:14:31,240
You watched it. I was watching. I was watching. This is probably my when I when I left off

1429
02:14:31,560 --> 02:14:36,440
Someone sent me this sammy just bashing that robot was so funny

1430
02:14:38,200 --> 02:14:42,120
Okay, that was a good one. Wait for it. Yeah, that's the one that you did wait for it. Wait for it

1431
02:14:47,400 --> 02:14:55,720
Boom Did he even touch the ball? I don't think so. What's this robot worth? I think it's a hundred grand

1432
02:14:57,480 --> 02:15:03,720
Feed it. Uh, but yeah in that video I was going through the comments and I saw this like disparaging comment about sammy

1433
02:15:03,880 --> 02:15:08,280
So I was about to respond to it to be like, hey like what the heck and then I realized it was sammy

1434
02:15:09,080 --> 02:15:14,600
I was like, oh, okay. All right. You know, whatever. Yeah, he's got a very uh, he's got a very self. Um, self deprecating

1435
02:15:14,680 --> 02:15:16,680
Yeah, self deprecating sense of humor

1436
02:15:17,960 --> 02:15:23,000
Okay, so my A plus certification has been revoked. This is cool, man. I love it when this kind of thing happens

1437
02:15:23,240 --> 02:15:26,600
What is this? Um, also also spotted on the subreddit

1438
02:15:28,120 --> 02:15:31,720
Audient this seems like the kind of thing Dan would have heard of Dan. Do you know audience?

1439
02:15:34,600 --> 02:15:37,720
Oh my goodness, I'm on the wrong audio output boop-a-doop boop boop boop

1440
02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:41,320
It sounded cool though. Yeah, that definitely got my attention

1441
02:15:41,880 --> 02:15:48,040
So they did a promotional video for a new audio interface with a lot of inputs and a lot of outputs

1442
02:15:48,280 --> 02:15:53,240
Yeah, are they still relevant? I don't know They're relevant to me. Check this out

1443
02:15:54,120 --> 02:15:59,240
Wait for it. Wait for it All this in one you rackspace

1444
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:04,280
Whoa, what's that? Yo

1445
02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:14,280
Let's go Because you know you know that these guys are not a big enough company that they like went and sourced an LTT backpack

1446
02:16:14,280 --> 02:16:19,160
To specifically feature it probably just like the guys there one of them just has the LTT bag

1447
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:25,240
It was like I have a backpack that it will fit in I got this cool like backpack that fits all the tech stuff. Why don't we put it?

1448
02:16:26,920 --> 02:16:30,280
Very cool. I think I have a bunch of their vintage gear. Very cool

1449
02:16:31,320 --> 02:16:35,640
So I I don't know much about their products or anything. I don't I don't do that world very much

1450
02:16:35,720 --> 02:16:43,800
But definitely appreciated. Uh, mr. rubber ducky 99 for spotting that in their id 48 audio interface promotional video

1451
02:16:44,120 --> 02:16:48,600
I used to use their uh microphone preamps. They make some amazing stuff

1452
02:16:48,840 --> 02:16:54,040
So you could you you could spot the extra riveted top handle as well as of course the orange internals

1453
02:16:54,600 --> 02:16:59,480
Yeah, very cool. Uh, should we do the our review embargoes bad thing? First, we should do discussion question

1454
02:16:59,720 --> 02:17:05,720
How's it feel to see cw slash LTT products just popping up in unexpected places? It's so cool. I love it

1455
02:17:06,120 --> 02:17:11,480
And I usually end up seeing the screwdriver. The backpack is also cool. I don't know why it surprises me that much

1456
02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:19,320
like we've sold Literally, I mean this in a literal sense hundreds of thousands of screwdrivers at this point like they are out there

1457
02:17:19,720 --> 02:17:24,520
We have sold tens of thousands of backpacks at this point. They're out there

1458
02:17:25,480 --> 02:17:29,960
But it still tickles me because I'm just like no way

1459
02:17:30,120 --> 02:17:35,880
You know like it's cool. It's cool. I watch a bunch of like, uh, diy content and stuff on youtube

1460
02:17:36,440 --> 02:17:42,760
Um, I mentioned earlier. I don't watch tv. I do watch a heck in youtube for sure. Um, and every once in a while

1461
02:17:43,640 --> 02:17:48,040
You know, they'll pull one out and I'll just be like, oh and you can tell like it's worn

1462
02:17:48,760 --> 02:17:53,560
Yeah, it's like nice. That's what I like to see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, all right. You you've actually used this a bunch

1463
02:17:53,720 --> 02:17:56,440
Yeah, because you got it and you're just like

1464
02:17:57,320 --> 02:18:00,200
Damn, damn. Damn. He's nice. I love it

1465
02:18:00,760 --> 02:18:03,880
Uh, you're you say our buffalo says does it make you feel like a real company? Yeah

1466
02:18:04,680 --> 02:18:12,200
in a big way because between like like doing the sponsorships and stuff like that where we've actually like sponsored creators

1467
02:18:12,600 --> 02:18:19,560
Between seeing people just in the real world just freaking using it one of my favorite posts that I see is

1468
02:18:20,120 --> 02:18:23,800
I am a x technician

1469
02:18:23,800 --> 02:18:32,120
Here's my driver with X thing that I work that I'm working on right now in the background and we see people posting planes and boats and

1470
02:18:32,920 --> 02:18:37,480
All manner of machinery and it's it's super cool. It's super cool

1471
02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:47,080
What? Mempucor Mempucon said more screwdrivers than people in Greenland. Oh by a long shot

1472
02:18:47,240 --> 02:18:51,160
We might have sold about as many backpacks as people in Greenland

1473
02:18:51,240 --> 02:18:54,120
So we could have we could have equipped the entire country of Greenland, but no

1474
02:18:54,920 --> 02:19:00,520
Not quite. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah if we count the commuter bag I think we've sold enough backpacks to equip everyone in Greenland. Nice

1475
02:19:00,840 --> 02:19:04,600
We're not going to do that because I'm not the american government and I can't just print money, but

1476
02:19:05,240 --> 02:19:09,800
Well, I guess And does

1477
02:19:10,520 --> 02:19:13,720
Nice our printer works very well as well

1478
02:19:14,600 --> 02:19:21,560
Both countries have fantastic printers. It's not worth as much. So all things considered. We have to overclock our printer by about

1479
02:19:22,120 --> 02:19:24,600
44% extremely high performance

1480
02:19:28,760 --> 02:19:35,640
Very cool, um Our review embargo is bad. Okay, so I saw

1481
02:19:36,200 --> 02:19:42,360
I've or rather not I saw but I have observed a trend a trend that seems to be picking up steam

1482
02:19:42,840 --> 02:19:50,920
And I noticed a lot in our coverage at CES this year of people feeling like and expressing their feeling

1483
02:19:51,400 --> 02:19:54,520
That review embargoes or or basically

1484
02:19:55,240 --> 02:19:59,320
Literally anything other than all the information all at once

1485
02:20:00,200 --> 02:20:06,120
is Like unethical like like it's it's scummy. It's it's awful

1486
02:20:06,920 --> 02:20:09,480
And so I guess what I what I want to talk about is

1487
02:20:10,280 --> 02:20:17,560
Why information embargoes do exist and the pros and cons for all of the various parties involved

1488
02:20:17,560 --> 02:20:21,880
There are definitely cons and I think they are sometimes abused by companies

1489
02:20:22,440 --> 02:20:28,120
Um, so it depends on I as we go through this one of the nuances to keep in mind is how they're used

1490
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:32,600
Absolutely the the idea of one embargo for one product is not always how it goes

1491
02:20:32,840 --> 02:20:37,320
It's actually depending on what company it is. Sometimes that's very far from the reality

1492
02:20:37,320 --> 02:20:43,560
Yeah, we've had we've called out NVIDIA in the past for taking one one GPU and saying, okay

1493
02:20:43,880 --> 02:20:48,600
Here's the embargo for the announcement. It exists. Here's the embargo. Okay. I'm exaggerating a little bit

1494
02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:53,960
Okay, I'm gonna add some extras, but multiple embargoes for one product. So I'm not gonna say NVIDIA anymore

1495
02:20:54,120 --> 02:21:03,960
I'm just gonna say we have had companies Give hit us with variations of down or we okay. Sorry. Just taking a screen cup hit us with variations of

1496
02:21:04,440 --> 02:21:09,640
Here's the embargo for that. It exists at all. Here's the embargo for the basic specs

1497
02:21:10,120 --> 02:21:15,640
Here's the embargo for some new technology that it supports or a or a deeper dive

1498
02:21:15,960 --> 02:21:21,800
Here's the embargo for the unboxing. Here's the embargo for performance analysis

1499
02:21:22,760 --> 02:21:32,040
It's like, okay, that's clearly because you're trying to milk content. You yes, you're trying to extend the news cycle as long as possible

1500
02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:40,600
essentially asking the media to do free advertising for you because a lot of that stuff is not really asking them to do any

1501
02:21:41,160 --> 02:21:47,160
Like input anything. They're just repeating what you've told them because that's the only information they have

1502
02:21:47,880 --> 02:21:51,160
However, that doesn't always mean that that's a bad thing

1503
02:21:51,560 --> 02:21:55,560
A lot of the time what happens with a show like ces because it happens on

1504
02:21:56,280 --> 02:21:58,280
These days

1505
02:21:59,400 --> 02:22:02,120
Is that companies aren't fully ready yet

1506
02:22:02,760 --> 02:22:06,920
This may surprise you but companies are made up of people who like you

1507
02:22:07,560 --> 02:22:14,600
State up late playing video games sometimes and missed a deadline sometimes or ran into a challenging problem sometimes

1508
02:22:15,080 --> 02:22:18,680
and You know what the one that they have at ces on those days

1509
02:22:19,720 --> 02:22:22,280
Might be held together by wood screws and duct tape

1510
02:22:23,080 --> 02:22:27,160
And it might not be ready to be benchmarked like

1511
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:29,960
Honestly, I was kind of I was kind of taken aback

1512
02:22:30,680 --> 02:22:33,480
When NVIDIA allowed us to game on the 5090

1513
02:22:34,200 --> 02:22:37,400
At all Yeah under any circumstances

1514
02:22:37,880 --> 02:22:41,800
When AMD allowed us to game on the ryzen ai max plus

1515
02:22:42,760 --> 02:22:45,720
At all the fact that AMD let me pick the game

1516
02:22:46,200 --> 02:22:49,640
Yeah, that was pretty wild. I was I was blown away. That's not normal

1517
02:22:50,200 --> 02:22:53,880
None of that is normal. That was that was pretty that was pretty cool of them

1518
02:22:54,440 --> 02:22:58,360
To to take this usually you can't even like open the setting screen let alone change settings

1519
02:22:58,360 --> 02:23:01,800
Let alone change the game etc to take this pre-release not

1520
02:23:02,760 --> 02:23:09,160
Not fully, you know ready for consumer prime time stuff and let us let us show it early

1521
02:23:10,040 --> 02:23:16,920
Demonstrates a lot of confidence and actually a relatively high degree of openness and then to kind of see this

1522
02:23:18,520 --> 02:23:22,040
I don't know this sentiment that was pervasive in the comments that they were

1523
02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:25,800
Scummy for not letting us do more. It's not a performance review

1524
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:30,040
And even if they did let me do everything that I could possibly want to I don't have time

1525
02:23:30,280 --> 02:23:35,400
Yeah, like I've got I've got maybe an hour especially to have proper rigor. Well. Yeah, exactly

1526
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:40,600
So, I don't know and realistically they gave us enough they gave us enough

1527
02:23:41,800 --> 02:23:46,760
That we were able to give you guys something, you know, especially the ryzen ai max

1528
02:23:47,080 --> 02:23:51,240
The fact that we could play that game at all and and like don't go conspiracy theory guys

1529
02:23:51,240 --> 02:23:55,640
I saw people being like yeah that scene they picked that scene because it's relatively light

1530
02:23:56,280 --> 02:23:59,800
No, I picked that scene because I haven't actually played black myth wukong yet

1531
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:04,840
And I just bought it. I bought it in AMD's booth and that's the beginning of the game

1532
02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:11,160
That's why I ran that scene and the reason that we picked black myth wukong was because it's a really demanding game

1533
02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:16,680
And I wanted to see can this thing do console level graphics in a in a in a thin like tablet like device

1534
02:24:17,240 --> 02:24:23,640
And that happened to be the game that MSI in the next booth over had on a drive

1535
02:24:26,440 --> 02:24:30,040
Guys sometimes it ain't that deep Yeah

1536
02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:34,840
And so yeah, I thought that was I thought that was really cool. I think it's a really exciting chip genuinely pretty awesome

1537
02:24:35,960 --> 02:24:41,000
Um, anyway, so we've got a kind of a summary from the from the writing team that they put together

1538
02:24:41,320 --> 02:24:45,240
And of the kind of the pros and cons so pros from a brand perspective

1539
02:24:45,640 --> 02:24:50,200
You have time to communicate your message and your product details to reviewers

1540
02:24:50,760 --> 02:24:53,960
Because if you don't have because otherwise think about it, you can't brief

1541
02:24:54,520 --> 02:25:00,920
Everybody at once on a new product you you could you could do a zoom call, but people are gonna have questions. They'll have follow-ups

1542
02:25:01,880 --> 02:25:04,680
You need time to disseminate information

1543
02:25:04,920 --> 02:25:10,920
So having a gap between when you first start doing that and when everyone can go public with it buys you time

1544
02:25:11,640 --> 02:25:15,000
The brand also has time to address potential issues

1545
02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:20,360
Before public release of the information and even potentially public release of the product

1546
02:25:20,760 --> 02:25:23,800
We have seen problems that have been found by reviewers

1547
02:25:24,200 --> 02:25:27,960
That have been fixed by the time the product hits the public now

1548
02:25:28,280 --> 02:25:31,320
Should brands be using reviewers as beta testers?

1549
02:25:31,960 --> 02:25:40,520
no Probably not and does that create a huge amount of extra burden in some cases because you have to redo all your testing once they patch it

1550
02:25:41,160 --> 02:25:49,080
Yeah, and that's not cool and that's not fair But is that way better than a buggy product hitting consumers? Absolutely, of course

1551
02:25:50,120 --> 02:25:55,160
cons You can lose buzz around the launch if reviews are delayed

1552
02:25:55,720 --> 02:25:58,360
Especially if the details leak early

1553
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:03,640
I think There are exceptions to this. I don't think nintendo has lost any switch to buzz

1554
02:26:04,200 --> 02:26:08,440
Because of all the leaks if anything dude, did you see the views on that video? That's one thing

1555
02:26:08,440 --> 02:26:11,480
I don't think we actually talked about number one trending. Yeah

1556
02:26:11,880 --> 02:26:15,000
I I checked the the views on the steam deck

1557
02:26:15,560 --> 02:26:18,600
Yeah, and it beat the views on the steam deck in two hours. Yeah

1558
02:26:19,160 --> 02:26:23,400
Yeah, all time steam all nintendo would have to do to be the top youtuber in the world

1559
02:26:23,960 --> 02:26:25,960
Is release new console every day

1560
02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:37,160
It's already at 16 million views That's wild interesting. Um, okay. So another con it could be seen as an attempt to control the narrative or limit transparency

1561
02:26:37,400 --> 02:26:39,560
and in some cases we have seen that

1562
02:26:40,600 --> 02:26:45,960
for reviewers a pro is that it gives all the reviewers a shared deadline and

1563
02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:55,240
takes away the Some of the sort of feeling that you can have that you like

1564
02:26:56,360 --> 02:26:59,400
Need to rush in order to in order to like

1565
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:05,960
Support yourself in your livelihood and you know hit the content earlier because there is a strong

1566
02:27:07,140 --> 02:27:11,800
Financial not to mention just like dopamine incentive to publishing something that gets a lot of views

1567
02:27:12,040 --> 02:27:15,560
You might still have that's very human a very considerable amount of pressure

1568
02:27:16,280 --> 02:27:21,240
absolutely Because maybe the deadline versus when you get the thing

1569
02:27:21,880 --> 02:27:28,360
Oh, sure. Are not really that far away from each other. So I am I am I am going through this list as like a sort of

1570
02:27:28,440 --> 02:27:30,440
In good faith if everything's working properly

1571
02:27:31,880 --> 02:27:38,760
Manor if that makes sense If everyone has a shared deadline and some people get two weeks with it and some people get three days

1572
02:27:38,840 --> 02:27:43,720
Well, you just kind of still have the same problem, don't you? But if uh, if uh, if a real

1573
02:27:44,120 --> 02:27:46,840
Good faith effort is made to get everyone the product at the same time

1574
02:27:47,160 --> 02:27:51,240
Get everyone the briefing at the same time and then have everybody release the information at the same time

1575
02:27:51,320 --> 02:27:56,120
So that we get these multiple perspectives, but people have time to do their work. That can be a benefit

1576
02:27:57,320 --> 02:28:04,200
Another pro is that it can give reviewers the ability to plan and allocate resources to cover multiple products

1577
02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:08,200
During times like around ces around computex

1578
02:28:08,680 --> 02:28:11,880
Tectober there can be a lot of launches and if we have

1579
02:28:12,520 --> 02:28:16,760
Embargo dates communicated to us ahead of time. It allows us to plan our production

1580
02:28:17,160 --> 02:28:21,800
For instance, we made the call to not do a full review of the arc b570

1581
02:28:22,520 --> 02:28:25,320
We knew it was going to be arc b580, but like

1582
02:28:26,280 --> 02:28:31,000
slower And cheaper I thought the live stream was a really cool idea. Yeah, the live stream was cool

1583
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:35,800
But we didn't actually use the b570 in the live stream Yeah, we used the b580 because

1584
02:28:35,880 --> 02:28:41,880
Because we basically what we built was a strategy to address the two major questions that we had outstanding

1585
02:28:42,360 --> 02:28:46,440
How much of a how much of um The opposite of uplift

1586
02:28:46,440 --> 02:28:50,120
Downfall not downfall, but anyway, how much uh, how much performance?

1587
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:53,880
Loss was there compared to the b580 and we were able to do that

1588
02:28:54,440 --> 02:28:57,880
With a little bit of light Labs testing in a ShortCircuit

1589
02:28:58,280 --> 02:29:01,640
So there's the b570 kind of what we we said what we need to say about it

1590
02:29:02,040 --> 02:29:05,960
The other major thing that we've wanted to look at for arc is how's the game compatibility on battlemage?

1591
02:29:06,200 --> 02:29:12,520
And then that's where the stream came in where we let viewers submit their suggestions for games that we could try side by side against an

1592
02:29:12,600 --> 02:29:14,600
rtx 4060

1593
02:29:15,880 --> 02:29:23,720
Another but cons for reviewers Brands can seriously hamper the review process like luke said by delaying access to the product

1594
02:29:24,200 --> 02:29:28,120
It restricts our ability sometimes to cover products in a timely manner

1595
02:29:28,680 --> 02:29:34,040
um like if we if we Okay, i'm actually i don't know if it restricts our ability to cover things in

1596
02:29:34,440 --> 02:29:38,600
There can be pressure to have your review published the moment the embargo lifts because otherwise

1597
02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:43,400
No one's going to watch it or or read it and

1598
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:53,320
it's in a way Forcing you to kind of play the game right to work with companies and agree to these embargoes to get early access to the products to

1599
02:29:53,960 --> 02:29:59,720
Support yourself to to have your livelihood right like it puts you it puts you at company's mercy a little bit

1600
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:06,920
but the reality of it is is That's just how it works. You can just source products yourself

1601
02:30:06,920 --> 02:30:10,040
We do it for apple for instance apple has zero

1602
02:30:10,760 --> 02:30:14,760
Working relationship with us and we I think we still manage to cover their products

1603
02:30:15,880 --> 02:30:20,200
But it is definitely it is definitely beneficial to

1604
02:30:20,920 --> 02:30:25,080
Have a product explained by the people who built it um

1605
02:30:25,080 --> 02:30:29,560
Not just beneficial for us, but beneficial for the viewer. So let's get into the benefits for the viewer

1606
02:30:29,960 --> 02:30:35,400
You get more comprehensive well researched reviews that include multiple perspectives our personal perspective

1607
02:30:35,800 --> 02:30:41,640
We can get perspectives from you know outsiders We can get perspectives from the brand and build the most complete picture that we can

1608
02:30:42,120 --> 02:30:44,840
it also helps build trust in the review process because

1609
02:30:45,560 --> 02:30:52,040
If everything's just kind of coming out in leaks and and dribbles and drabs and people are rushing things because there's

1610
02:30:52,520 --> 02:30:57,240
You know no time and they're just trying to get things up as quick as possible I think that can erode trust

1611
02:30:57,240 --> 02:31:02,680
But the con is consumers may perceive cooperation with embargoes as the reviewer being influenced by the brand

1612
02:31:02,680 --> 02:31:09,560
I think that basically just comes down to how influenced you are by it and in some cases. I think

1613
02:31:10,280 --> 02:31:13,000
Some people are I think some people are very not influenced by it

1614
02:31:13,320 --> 02:31:19,560
There's a lot of publications that if they you know got a briefing on a product and they got shipped to GPU. I'd be like yeah and

1615
02:31:20,680 --> 02:31:25,080
Like what is someone gonna is someone going to say that hardware unbox is going to like give better coverage to a

1616
02:31:26,040 --> 02:31:31,320
To a GPU because or wendell from level one tex is going to give better coverage to a GPU because NVIDIA send it to him

1617
02:31:31,800 --> 02:31:37,080
Please if wendell was for sale for the price of a GPU. I'd be the first one in line to buy them

1618
02:31:39,080 --> 02:31:41,580
You'd have to yeah, I don't know about that. I'll get there pretty quick

1619
02:31:43,560 --> 02:31:47,320
All right, what else we got today

1620
02:31:48,920 --> 02:31:52,440
What do you want to do luke uh We can do the john deere thing

1621
02:31:52,440 --> 02:31:56,440
Yeah, I think we can kind of get just go through that one pretty quick fire through the u.s

1622
02:31:56,520 --> 02:32:02,760
federal trade commission along with the attorneys general of illinois and minnesota sued tractor and agricultural

1623
02:32:02,840 --> 02:32:09,400
manufacturer john deere on wednesday alleging that deere has monopoly power over the repair mark. Oh, let's go

1624
02:32:09,640 --> 02:32:13,000
Okay, right fdc chair an extremely based person

1625
02:32:13,240 --> 02:32:22,120
Lena kahn stated that deere has in quotes has allegedly restricted the ability of farmers and independent technicians to repair deer equipment

1626
02:32:22,360 --> 02:32:32,600
Including tractors and combines john deere has responded saying that the suit in quotes ignores the company's longstanding commitment to customer self repair and the

1627
02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:38,520
Sure And the consistent progress and innovation we have made over time and quote

1628
02:32:38,920 --> 02:32:43,480
404 media's article notes that deer has become notorious for

1629
02:32:44,360 --> 02:32:52,040
Cornering the repair market on its machines by introducing software locks to prevent farmers from fixing the equipment that they buy without the authorization of john deere

1630
02:32:53,320 --> 02:33:03,560
Being forced to this is no longer the quote but Being forced to wait for authorized repair personnel can mean significant delays in repairing machines during the critical planting and harvesting seasons

1631
02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:08,440
Which can result in lost harvest and dying crops in october of 2024

1632
02:33:08,680 --> 02:33:13,560
us senator elizabeth warren said that deere was not honoring a memorandum of

1633
02:33:13,960 --> 02:33:18,520
Understanding that would have made it possible for farmers to make some repairs on their own

1634
02:33:18,840 --> 02:33:25,960
The current fdc suit states that the mou was designed to kill right to repair legislation and repair

1635
02:33:26,840 --> 02:33:30,920
regulation against the company I saw

1636
02:33:30,920 --> 02:33:35,480
Some dudes wearing john deere hats down at zes that I was relatively certain

1637
02:33:36,120 --> 02:33:42,440
Were just like employees of john deere and it it took it took a significant amount not to just roast them about right to repair

1638
02:33:42,440 --> 02:33:46,840
I'm not even kidding. I don't even know this was happening. It's just john deere has been

1639
02:33:47,720 --> 02:33:54,200
The only like agricultural company that has consistently showed up on wanshow for just being trapped

1640
02:33:55,560 --> 02:33:59,080
I'm sure they're like Products are good

1641
02:33:59,080 --> 02:34:05,080
But the the right to repair issues are brutal and farmers of honestly anyone have been known for

1642
02:34:05,960 --> 02:34:13,000
Maintaining and keeping things going on their own historically forever and taking that away from them is ridiculous and stupid

1643
02:34:13,880 --> 02:34:19,480
And drives up the price of food. Yeah, which is like you should all be mad. Not good. Yeah

1644
02:34:20,760 --> 02:34:23,320
Defconn had to talk about john deere. Yeah, and it was sick

1645
02:34:23,800 --> 02:34:31,320
Based lina con Basically, please run for prime minister of canada. Yeah, come up here. Please. It'd be great. Can someone know her?

1646
02:34:31,640 --> 02:34:35,800
Okay, like how many people how many people are watching right now? We got 23,000 people watching on youtube

1647
02:34:35,800 --> 02:34:39,560
We probably got a few thousand more on flow plane like 25 people on facebook. Okay

1648
02:34:40,680 --> 02:34:48,120
The six degrees of separation thing, okay, does anyone know anyone who knows anyone who knows lina con can you just can you just formally

1649
02:34:48,360 --> 02:34:52,840
Can you just formally request that she come to canada and run for prime minister?

1650
02:34:52,920 --> 02:34:57,720
I will I will personally be her biggest cheerleader. I don't think she's announced what she's doing next

1651
02:34:57,800 --> 02:35:03,000
I'm like genuinely interested. Hopefully whatever it is. She's able to have a similar impact

1652
02:35:05,480 --> 02:35:10,600
I don't know Yeah, yeah, I have to be clear. I am kidding. I'm actually can you can you?

1653
02:35:12,040 --> 02:35:16,520
If you weren't born in canada, can you be prime minister? I have no idea. I know in america you have to be born in

1654
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:21,320
Do you have to be born that argument constantly comes up in american politics?

1655
02:35:21,320 --> 02:35:25,480
I've never heard it for canadian ones. No four of canada's prime ministers have been born outside canada

1656
02:35:26,200 --> 02:35:31,400
Oh, well, okay, some of them like the very early ones alexander mckenzie john a mcdonald because like you kind of need to be

1657
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:36,840
Literally every white dude was our new prime minister. They're five

1658
02:35:39,720 --> 02:35:46,200
They'll grow up All right. Hey can't be much worse. There's a little rapid fire hexo s update

1659
02:35:46,280 --> 02:35:51,560
Oh, okay Uh, this is from uh, this is from john from hexo s

1660
02:35:51,960 --> 02:35:56,680
We have been absolutely blown away by the response from both the LTT and the home server community

1661
02:35:57,080 --> 02:36:00,680
The sheer number of people who have reached out to offer support apply for jobs

1662
02:36:01,080 --> 02:36:05,080
Um offer out potential for partnerships has been incredible

1663
02:36:05,560 --> 02:36:10,200
Special thanks to mosson dylan ubergeek mobius and theo from the hexo s forums

1664
02:36:10,360 --> 02:36:15,800
These guys have been amazing and helping our community immensely. Um, just to catch you guys up hexo s is the naz

1665
02:36:16,040 --> 02:36:18,680
software that is um being developed

1666
02:36:19,320 --> 02:36:25,240
Under the leadership of a couple former unraid guys who go way back to helping me with seven gamers one CPU

1667
02:36:25,560 --> 02:36:29,720
That basically split off and we're like I just um

1668
02:36:29,720 --> 02:36:32,760
We need startup funding and I was like, oh my god, you guys, um

1669
02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:40,600
Okay, uh, sure and you know, I've talked about this on the WAN Show before I had no idea

1670
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:44,280
If they're they were gonna succeed really I knew they're like good guys

1671
02:36:44,520 --> 02:36:47,800
I knew they were super good guys, but this is a big project. It's a big undertaking

1672
02:36:48,200 --> 02:36:52,600
But what I knew was that I wanted their product to exist an easier

1673
02:36:52,600 --> 02:36:57,720
diy naz software it's built on true naz and it's got a really pretty interface and it's designed to be

1674
02:36:58,280 --> 02:37:01,560
True naz rock solid in the foundation and pretty modern

1675
02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:06,200
Like pretty and modern not somewhat modern pretty and modern in the front end. Um

1676
02:37:07,240 --> 02:37:12,520
Anyway fast facts they've sold approximately 28 000 licenses so far

1677
02:37:13,400 --> 02:37:16,920
so suck it haters basically

1678
02:37:16,920 --> 02:37:21,640
The number of people that are like there's no What are they doing

1679
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:28,200
Guys just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's not for anybody Yeah, I was just gonna say and it not being for you is totally is fine. Totally fine

1680
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:33,000
Go roll like bear true naz and like get in there in the command line do it

1681
02:37:33,560 --> 02:37:36,200
Do it there's some people I talked to excitedly about this

1682
02:37:36,680 --> 02:37:41,640
There are other people that I would have never brought it up once because it's just not applicable to them at all

1683
02:37:42,360 --> 02:37:48,600
That's fine. Eshtack has more than doubled the team size since the launch with at least three more hires planned in 2025 and

1684
02:37:49,160 --> 02:37:57,320
Oh, I wish I could tell you what this is But they have already reinvested in the community with a six figure sponsorship of an open source development project

1685
02:37:58,040 --> 02:38:05,720
To be announced soon It's really cool. Cool game changer. Um, the sheer volume. I can I ask you this is it gonna work with their thing?

1686
02:38:06,520 --> 02:38:09,240
Cool. Yeah, of course. Nice, but it'll be open source

1687
02:38:09,640 --> 02:38:15,640
Nice, it's just cool. Nice the sheer volume of support has made us rethink our development approach for 2025 more info soon

1688
02:38:15,640 --> 02:38:21,320
Once we have the new team ramped up I should have time to post some comprehensive updates through blog posts exciting times. All right, so that's it

1689
02:38:22,120 --> 02:38:26,520
I don't I don't want to spend too much time on this is oh, it's uh after dark. Let's go

1690
02:38:27,080 --> 02:38:29,080
Oh

1691
02:38:34,600 --> 02:38:40,120
And I told you I've been I shifted some of my weightlifting days to movement and flexibility days. Yeah

1692
02:38:41,720 --> 02:38:45,960
In general, I feel very good There are things that are sore

1693
02:38:46,280 --> 02:38:51,160
And I'm not used to being sore Like you're like your perennium

1694
02:38:51,240 --> 02:38:54,600
perennium Come on

1695
02:38:54,600 --> 02:38:56,600
That's always sore. I'm well. Yeah

1696
02:38:58,920 --> 02:39:00,920
If you don't know what it is don't look it up. That's why

1697
02:39:05,240 --> 02:39:11,480
I did I did I didn't have to do two and a half hours of the show already. They're they're chill. They're easy

1698
02:39:11,640 --> 02:39:15,480
So I I got a course. Yeah for the weightlifting stuff. I didn't do courses

1699
02:39:15,480 --> 02:39:19,240
I just learned stuff on my own for the flexibility stuff. I'm like this is so far out of my realm

1700
02:39:19,720 --> 02:39:26,920
I need somebody to help me. So I got I bought a course Um, it was unlimited lifetime access to this one course, whatever they had a black friday sale fine

1701
02:39:27,400 --> 02:39:33,560
I just started it and I started watching video I went to the gym and then started watching because it was like, okay, do this movement

1702
02:39:33,640 --> 02:39:39,240
Here's a video so you can see what the movement is and then log your stuff and move on to the next one and they had me

1703
02:39:41,080 --> 02:39:44,120
I'm at a public gym. They had me do cat cows. Do you know what cat cows are?

1704
02:39:45,960 --> 02:39:48,920
Did you just laugh? Do you know what they are? I I snored it. Yeah

1705
02:39:49,640 --> 02:39:51,640
Do you want to demonstrate? No

1706
02:39:53,320 --> 02:40:00,680
No, no, no, no, there's no shot I'd have to get up on the table. That's not happening. It's not happening. It's not happening. It's not happening

1707
02:40:01,720 --> 02:40:06,680
Hold on. Hold on. It's not happening. I'm just gonna it's not happening. I'm just gonna add a picture to the

1708
02:40:07,080 --> 02:40:10,520
Oh, no, are you gonna show what it is? No, no, you guys can just show it on your laptops, of course. Sure

1709
02:40:11,240 --> 02:40:14,520
uh cat cow

1710
02:40:14,520 --> 02:40:16,520
So I had to

1711
02:40:19,720 --> 02:40:23,560
I had to do this in a public gym, dude. So you go so you start

1712
02:40:27,080 --> 02:40:32,520
And then you go to a neutral position and then you go to the one on the left And I just I had a certain point. I just closed my eyes

1713
02:40:32,920 --> 02:40:36,120
So I was like, I don't want to see people looking at me while I do this

1714
02:40:36,440 --> 02:40:41,400
I went into the corner. I usually I'm like, I'm there. I'm working hard. I'm looking pretty heavy. This is the gym

1715
02:40:41,400 --> 02:40:45,240
I normally go to I know people there at this point and then out of nowhere

1716
02:40:45,560 --> 02:40:48,760
New year happens. I go into the corner of the gym and I just

1717
02:40:50,920 --> 02:40:57,720
It's like that that great song by two live crew Luke, I think it's okay. I don't think it's um, I don't think it's embarrassing

1718
02:41:02,760 --> 02:41:04,760
It was extremely embarrassing

1719
02:41:06,760 --> 02:41:11,720
Bronze as I call it cat heaving Ah

1720
02:41:13,320 --> 02:41:18,920
Does it make it better or worse vng supernova, so that's what white people twerking is

1721
02:41:21,800 --> 02:41:26,440
It's like slow and clunky, uh, it sounds like trying to get minuses thighs

1722
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:34,840
But I mean, yeah, like things feel pretty good. Um, but my goodness I might I might uh

1723
02:41:35,720 --> 02:41:41,560
I might do though those ones at home. We'll see. Yeah, I think that don't let the birds see you. They won't respect you anymore

1724
02:41:43,080 --> 02:41:46,840
That whole they said you need a bench, but like, I don't know. I could just use a chair for everything

1725
02:41:46,840 --> 02:41:49,240
I had to do so I can easily do it at home. Yeah

1726
02:41:50,360 --> 02:41:55,160
But yeah couch, you know certain kinds

1727
02:41:57,320 --> 02:42:00,120
All right, good enough bed frame. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

1728
02:42:00,680 --> 02:42:06,920
Oh What are we supposed to be doing right now after dark? I don't know. Do you want a merch message? It's very after dark this evening. Yeah, sure

1729
02:42:07,080 --> 02:42:13,160
Yeah, yeah, sir. Hit me Dan. Hey lld last week. You mentioned we're moving away from oh, no, we did that one

1730
02:42:13,320 --> 02:42:18,200
I didn't archive it What advice do you have for somebody moving who wants to put in wired networking from scratch

1731
02:42:18,440 --> 02:42:24,040
Currently researching the best setups for access points cameras door access land parties, etc

1732
02:42:24,120 --> 02:42:29,000
Consider the future and put in conduit Yeah, but not everywhere though like not

1733
02:42:29,720 --> 02:42:32,760
Okay If the run

1734
02:42:32,760 --> 02:42:36,680
is easy put in one

1735
02:42:36,680 --> 02:42:38,680
If the run is hard run two

1736
02:42:39,960 --> 02:42:47,000
You never know you might You might pull a Linus and get your like your mirror image screwed up and

1737
02:42:47,320 --> 02:42:50,760
Misterminate the same thing six times and use it all up. I did it once

1738
02:42:51,480 --> 02:42:57,960
Yvonne had to be had to look at me and go That's not what you were doing before I had done all the other ones in the entire installation. This was back in my old house

1739
02:42:58,360 --> 02:43:02,840
um You could uh, you could have uh, you could have something to through the cable

1740
02:43:03,400 --> 02:43:06,680
You could have Things happen. Basically is what i'm trying to say

1741
02:43:07,080 --> 02:43:10,920
The cable could just be defective in the first place or it could get damaged while you're running it

1742
02:43:11,240 --> 02:43:16,520
So if you run two Cable is not that there's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things

1743
02:43:17,160 --> 02:43:24,280
Running cable Can get real expensive depending on where you're going. So that's a big one for me. I would say for something like

1744
02:43:24,920 --> 02:43:32,520
access points um Now that they're all so pretty and you can do like wireless backhaul with six gigahertz and stuff. I feel like

1745
02:43:34,120 --> 02:43:39,560
I would go wired backhaul for everything, but I feel like it's it's less of a big deal if you like miss a spot but with cameras

1746
02:43:40,520 --> 02:43:47,720
Really get in there With like one camera and just like a hundred meter spool and like really make sure you like the views

1747
02:43:48,040 --> 02:43:55,080
Where you're putting in your cameras Uh do that homework because there's a couple that i'm not really happy with and that I wish I had done a little bit differently

1748
02:43:56,040 --> 02:44:00,280
What about wireless cameras? I mean then you still have to do with power, right? So wireless cameras

1749
02:44:01,240 --> 02:44:05,480
I've just found them. I found them slower. I found the quality can be not as good. I

1750
02:44:07,640 --> 02:44:10,520
I don't like anything wireless. I always prefer

1751
02:44:11,160 --> 02:44:16,040
I always prefer wired and see it's also easier to run. Um, let me do that

1752
02:44:16,280 --> 02:44:19,640
It's also easier to run like cat 5 than it is power, right?

1753
02:44:20,280 --> 02:44:28,680
This is true This is true. So yeah, I do I do wired when I can and wireless when I have to for something like a doorbell camera

1754
02:44:29,240 --> 02:44:32,280
You know, I'll go. Yeah, sure. I'll go wireless if I need to get that like that's fine

1755
02:44:32,760 --> 02:44:35,320
Um, what what else would you what else would you consider?

1756
02:44:36,120 --> 02:44:40,680
Currently researching best apps for access points. I mean just thoughtfulness is the biggest one

1757
02:44:41,720 --> 02:44:48,280
Door access. Okay. I got a cool video coming on that soon. Yes, but spend time testing your access point locations before you actually like

1758
02:44:49,240 --> 02:44:53,240
Permanently place them a lot of good can be had with tape to the ceiling. Yeah

1759
02:44:53,880 --> 02:44:57,240
Yeah along the wall just to make sure land parties

1760
02:44:57,880 --> 02:45:04,680
I would say for a land party almost I wouldn't even like overthink it as long as you've got one, you know, cat 6a

1761
02:45:04,760 --> 02:45:08,440
Yeah, just toss toss a switch on the table. Yeah, you got one 10 gig up link

1762
02:45:08,520 --> 02:45:14,360
Yeah, you know, like if you're if you're like that that couple that built the like land gain. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude

1763
02:45:14,680 --> 02:45:18,680
You know, that's sick do it up, right? You're probably not doing that

1764
02:45:18,760 --> 02:45:23,160
But that's sick But if you're just trying to be ready to run a run a land party once in a while then yeah

1765
02:45:23,400 --> 02:45:26,760
As long as you just have like run cat 6a to the ones that matter

1766
02:45:27,080 --> 02:45:30,040
Um, unlike me do not run cat 6a everywhere

1767
02:45:30,920 --> 02:45:35,400
If something's only ever going to need gigabit or two and a half gig you can do two and a half gig on cat 5v over

1768
02:45:35,800 --> 02:45:40,920
I don't think over the full distance. Yo Dan, do you remember how far you can do 2.5 gig on cat 5v?

1769
02:45:41,880 --> 02:45:45,880
I mean the spec is like 300 feet. I'm looking it up now

1770
02:45:47,880 --> 02:45:50,520
Is the is the spec 300 feet for 2.5 gig?

1771
02:45:53,800 --> 02:45:55,800
Come on, I think it's like for everything

1772
02:45:57,240 --> 02:46:00,680
Uh, yeah mileage. Yeah, well mileage may vary

1773
02:46:01,080 --> 02:46:04,040
Yes, because the spec like we've done 10 gig in the lab

1774
02:46:04,600 --> 02:46:08,360
And the spec fails like our testing equipment fails at 300 feet

1775
02:46:08,760 --> 02:46:13,960
We can still get you know 10 gig, right? Yep. And like you can run

1776
02:46:14,760 --> 02:46:19,480
10 gig on cat 5e which it's not rated for if the distance is extremely short

1777
02:46:19,720 --> 02:46:23,720
Just like you can use like an ancient HDMI 1.4 cable

1778
02:46:24,120 --> 02:46:28,920
Certified cable if it's a really short one and you can run HDMI 2.1 or whatever sometimes sometimes

1779
02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:33,400
It's just it's just not a guarantee. That's why these standards exist for reliability

1780
02:46:34,040 --> 02:46:37,960
And consistency as long as you have the eight conductors. Yes. Yeah

1781
02:46:38,120 --> 02:46:42,120
That um, yeah, what else what else could we really say? I'd say, um

1782
02:46:43,720 --> 02:46:46,280
I'm not moving who wants to put him hard on pick your battles

1783
02:46:46,920 --> 02:46:50,040
That's another big one. Like if you don't have to pull off sheetrock

1784
02:46:50,600 --> 02:46:56,200
Just don't just just run a little thing I I thought I cared a lot about that when we moved into my current place

1785
02:46:56,520 --> 02:46:59,480
And so we like we pulled off drywall everywhere and put everything

1786
02:47:00,040 --> 02:47:06,040
You know behind a drywall and then when we did the the one place we didn't was in the family room where we have 5.1

1787
02:47:06,840 --> 02:47:09,320
No, what what even is it 5.5 point

1788
02:47:10,280 --> 02:47:16,920
1.2 I forget what it is But like a surround setup because I never intended to have one there and then my bloody family like never

1789
02:47:17,160 --> 02:47:20,680
Wanted to go down to the theater and they always wanted to just watch them like okay fine Screw it

1790
02:47:20,680 --> 02:47:25,640
Then we're going to put surround in here And so I had to do it after the fact and I ended up using the little like cable hiders and stuff

1791
02:47:25,640 --> 02:47:30,200
And you know what I never noticed them. Yeah, I never think about them

1792
02:47:30,760 --> 02:47:35,400
So pick your battles like sometimes it's better to just run a little plastic thing. They're so overpriced

1793
02:47:36,120 --> 02:47:40,360
Oh, yeah, it kills me giving LeGrand that much money for a little plastic tube

1794
02:47:41,480 --> 02:47:50,440
I'm dead Oh cable hiders hold on there 30 print like a trillion smaller ones. Yeah, and I'm sure there's like cheaper ones

1795
02:47:52,360 --> 02:47:57,400
But the last time I shopped for these was years ago And it was not immediately apparent

1796
02:47:57,880 --> 02:48:03,800
You know what the cheaper ones were and if they were any good In fact, I think we used some of the cheaper ones when we did the family room

1797
02:48:03,880 --> 02:48:07,960
I think Jake sourced them, but these are the ones that I used years before that and I had some leftovers

1798
02:48:07,960 --> 02:48:09,960
So I used them for some stuff as well

1799
02:48:11,480 --> 02:48:15,880
Wire mold cord cover there you go wall hider. There's lots of different names for them apparently

1800
02:48:16,680 --> 02:48:20,200
All right, what else we got Dan? Hello linous Jake and done

1801
02:48:20,520 --> 02:48:24,360
I'm a ups driver and I love listening to the wancho vaude at work

1802
02:48:24,760 --> 02:48:30,120
Wondering what your worst package delivery experience has been any lost damage or stolen packages

1803
02:48:30,280 --> 02:48:32,760
I've got a good one for this. Cool. I've got a couple

1804
02:48:33,720 --> 02:48:37,320
I I at one point time. I was really trying to fix my posture

1805
02:48:37,880 --> 02:48:41,880
So I I did buy an expensive thing spoiler alert. I returned it, but

1806
02:48:42,760 --> 02:48:45,880
I did buy an expensive thing. I bought a ermine miller chair

1807
02:48:46,520 --> 02:48:51,880
Um, did you just say ermine? I didn't mean to do that, but I did. I like it. You know what? I'm gonna go with that

1808
02:48:52,360 --> 02:48:56,200
It's ermine now. Yeah I mean you got ermiz. Um, yeah

1809
02:48:57,240 --> 02:49:01,640
I think it was the embody or something. I don't remember what but uh, this is when I

1810
02:49:02,120 --> 02:49:07,560
Totally didn't live, um under the the old studio house

1811
02:49:08,680 --> 02:49:16,520
And they they delivered it I didn't get a confirmation of the delivery and they just left it on the lawn in the front

1812
02:49:18,120 --> 02:49:24,120
When they deliver those chairs, they're not like they require no assembly, right? It's an enormous box

1813
02:49:24,440 --> 02:49:28,520
Right and they just left it on the lawn. They're like wet lawn super chill

1814
02:49:29,480 --> 02:49:36,760
In the middle of suburbia with no one home They didn't get a confirmation signature that it was not a 2.5 k chair just to be clear at that time

1815
02:49:36,760 --> 02:49:39,160
It was a lot cheaper and I returned it. I think it was about a grand

1816
02:49:40,040 --> 02:49:44,760
It was a lot It was a big deal, but I was like, I'm gonna you know, I spent a lot of time sitting in the chair

1817
02:49:45,000 --> 02:49:48,120
My posture is terrible. I'm gonna try to get a good chair and it showed up

1818
02:49:48,680 --> 02:49:54,440
I was pissed that it was just like abandoned in the lawn. I drag it inside. I didn't like it that much. I'll just return

1819
02:49:55,000 --> 02:49:58,280
Oh, well, I got a couple good ones

1820
02:49:58,680 --> 02:50:04,280
Um One of them is very similar. So do you did you ever check out the video we did on the kluvins?

1821
02:50:05,080 --> 02:50:09,880
Uh scorpion chair. Oh, yeah When they delivered that

1822
02:50:10,200 --> 02:50:14,920
The title was not a lie. The title was you know, obviously

1823
02:50:15,880 --> 02:50:22,440
Not that descriptive so you could describe it as kind of clickbait in that sense because we were like they left this in my driveway, right?

1824
02:50:22,600 --> 02:50:28,520
Okay But I personally am fine with that as long as it is reflective of the reality of the situation

1825
02:50:29,080 --> 02:50:35,080
and they did They left it not in my driveway at home, but effectively in our driveway

1826
02:50:35,720 --> 02:50:43,080
At work Whatever courier they contracted. Why is this happening? Just like why is it chairs a giant friggin crate?

1827
02:50:43,560 --> 02:50:48,920
Like essentially in the parking lot at our studio and I don't blame kluvins for this to be clear

1828
02:50:49,000 --> 02:50:56,920
I think it must have been some kind of miscommunication of some sort I don't I don't think I can attribute this one to malice. There's got to be there's got to be an error

1829
02:50:57,240 --> 02:51:05,080
A wire that got crossed somewhere. Um, but one of my other favorite ones was when we did a um a sponsored video project with

1830
02:51:05,560 --> 02:51:13,800
a pc builder and I think I think they asked us not to disclose who it was at some point like not or not to not disclose but not to

1831
02:51:14,440 --> 02:51:18,680
Um, not to address that this had happened in the video because we thought it was hilarious

1832
02:51:18,760 --> 02:51:22,280
But they were like, yeah, our stuff being destroyed is just not that like

1833
02:51:23,000 --> 02:51:29,640
You know on brand for us. We were not we're not into like we're not into like gore of our stuff being destroyed

1834
02:51:30,360 --> 02:51:34,920
But this boutique beautiful gaming system got

1835
02:51:35,880 --> 02:51:43,640
mangled like Shattered tempered glass side panel and what was painful about this was that it was very customized

1836
02:51:44,600 --> 02:51:50,920
And uh, that really sucked that that really sucked. That's rough. That was like entirely on the shipping company. Oh, yeah

1837
02:51:51,080 --> 02:51:56,280
Yeah, it was packaged nicely and so and I think that was another thing that they had some sensitivity around was they were like

1838
02:51:56,280 --> 02:51:59,480
Yeah, we really don't want people to think that this is reflective of our packing materials

1839
02:51:59,560 --> 02:52:05,560
And I actually support that position for them because it was good. Their packing materials are excellent. Nice. Um, but

1840
02:52:06,280 --> 02:52:09,160
Even the best packing materials can succumb to a drop kick

1841
02:52:11,320 --> 02:52:13,320
All right, what else we got

1842
02:52:14,440 --> 02:52:19,640
Okay, hi DLL one of my hard drives on my nas recently started reporting checksum errors

1843
02:52:20,040 --> 02:52:25,640
And a colleague suggested running spin right on it to recover the data. Is that snake oil or does it work?

1844
02:52:26,440 --> 02:52:34,040
I have not Tried it But I would say that if you're getting checksum or smart errors, you should replace your drive

1845
02:52:34,440 --> 02:52:40,680
What if he's doing raid zero? Then you should stop doing raid zero and then replace your drive. Yeah

1846
02:52:43,800 --> 02:52:47,480
Yeah, why would you want to just people are saying spin rate is so awesome

1847
02:52:48,600 --> 02:52:54,760
Okay, maybe I need to familiarize myself with this. Why would this person want to run spin right on it instead of

1848
02:52:56,120 --> 02:52:58,520
Just replacing the drive. Maybe this is a drive in

1849
02:52:59,800 --> 02:53:01,800
Like help me out chat

1850
02:53:03,640 --> 02:53:05,640
Is it a single drive

1851
02:53:07,160 --> 02:53:16,440
Originally written as an interleave tool Okay. Oh no, so yeah spin rights ancient. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't that's okay. That's super cool

1852
02:53:17,800 --> 02:53:19,800
I mean, I can't hurt to test it

1853
02:53:22,120 --> 02:53:27,080
I don't know I'm at the point in my life where if you're running it in raid one

1854
02:53:27,800 --> 02:53:31,000
Then I would say, yeah, I don't know run some utility on it and maybe it's fine

1855
02:53:31,320 --> 02:53:36,920
You'll have the redundancy still anyway Um, but I'm at a point in my life where when it comes to data

1856
02:53:37,160 --> 02:53:42,520
If I see a smart error if I see a checksum error, don't mess with it. I throw it away. I'm sorry. I I um, yeah

1857
02:53:44,280 --> 02:53:48,920
Yeah, people who like spin rate is legit says steve gibson of gibson research apparently

1858
02:53:49,000 --> 02:53:52,360
This is according to os dirk in the Floatplane chat. Didn't he make it?

1859
02:53:53,080 --> 02:53:56,360
I don't know Oh, yes. Wait, what?

1860
02:53:57,560 --> 02:54:03,240
What are you trying to do to me? Obama giving Obama a medal. Yeah, exactly. Good job. Good job. Oh, bubba. Yeah

1861
02:54:04,040 --> 02:54:08,280
guys I was like, hold on a second. All right

1862
02:54:09,240 --> 02:54:14,200
Floatplane is amazing perfect

1863
02:54:14,200 --> 02:54:19,560
The best Floatplane I've had your screwdriver for a year or oh no, is this true

1864
02:54:20,040 --> 02:54:24,200
What someone said Are you guys trolling me right now?

1865
02:54:24,360 --> 02:54:31,080
Hold on. Are you guys trolling me right now? F car dude says you can only download spin right on firefox. There's no way that's true

1866
02:54:31,080 --> 02:54:38,840
You guys got to be you guys got to be meming on me. There's absolutely no way. I want to go see you right now

1867
02:54:40,760 --> 02:54:42,760
Why did they troll

1868
02:54:48,840 --> 02:54:56,600
Demo No, they're always they're trolling. They're trolling. They're trolling. They're trolling. Okay. I'm I'm ignoring you guys for a little bit

1869
02:54:56,840 --> 02:55:01,000
That was a good one. That was a very good one. That was a good one. I it's exactly

1870
02:55:01,800 --> 02:55:08,600
It is exactly the kind of thing that I could see just some meme-ass developer being like

1871
02:55:10,360 --> 02:55:16,040
Oh, yeah, and doing I oh, yeah, we have to call it on the lab site. I know I've said it before on land

1872
02:55:16,040 --> 02:55:18,040
So I won't go through it again, but yeah

1873
02:55:19,640 --> 02:55:24,360
I've had your screwdriver for a year or so now and love it and here's a question for Linus

1874
02:55:24,520 --> 02:55:29,080
I'm new to having a cat. How do you keep these young cats from tearing up furniture and your house?

1875
02:55:29,320 --> 02:55:32,440
They're strats. Um, you can try. Yeah, that helps

1876
02:55:33,320 --> 02:55:37,480
You can try like orange scents. I personally haven't found them that effective

1877
02:55:38,280 --> 02:55:40,280
You can try like fell away

1878
02:55:41,400 --> 02:55:48,760
Like, uh, oh man, what's the like pheromone style like calming things. I personally never found them that effective and they're really expensive

1879
02:55:49,400 --> 02:55:54,680
We've found the most effective thing is to take the spots where they like to scratch stuff and just put something else there

1880
02:55:55,080 --> 02:56:02,760
So there's there's spots on the carpet and there's like corners Our house is just full of those cheap little like cardboard scratcher things that you can get on amazon the cats

1881
02:56:03,560 --> 02:56:07,800
Love them. They rip them up, but they're cheap. You just get a new one whatever and it's cardboard. You just throw it in their cycling

1882
02:56:07,800 --> 02:56:12,680
So who cares? Um The other big one is double-sided tape

1883
02:56:13,160 --> 02:56:21,800
clear double-sided clear tape If you put that on a vertical surface that they that they'll go after it'll grab on the the fur on their paws and they don't

1884
02:56:21,880 --> 02:56:26,040
Like it. Yeah, they don't like it. It'll make sense. It'll get them out of the habit sometimes

1885
02:56:27,720 --> 02:56:30,520
Sometimes there are just materials though that are just

1886
02:56:31,960 --> 02:56:34,840
Irresistible to them and you're just gonna have to get a different couch

1887
02:56:35,720 --> 02:56:37,720
When that one is destroyed

1888
02:56:39,080 --> 02:56:44,600
That's just part of break that couch up furfino asks is declawing unethical

1889
02:56:45,320 --> 02:56:49,080
um As we discussed earlier on the show

1890
02:56:49,080 --> 02:56:52,280
um ethics and morals different concepts

1891
02:56:53,160 --> 02:56:56,680
I I think it is highly immoral

1892
02:56:56,920 --> 02:57:01,800
I think it is disgusting If you understand what you are doing

1893
02:57:03,400 --> 02:57:07,320
And you still go forward with it. I don't think we can ever be friends

1894
02:57:07,800 --> 02:57:14,120
um Declying a cat is not like like just pulling the fingernail off of a human finger, which would already be bad enough

1895
02:57:14,520 --> 02:57:19,640
Declying a cat is essentially Cutting off their finger at this knuckle

1896
02:57:21,080 --> 02:57:23,080
Never do that

1897
02:57:24,120 --> 02:57:29,720
I I like I I mean I didn't know that I'm not a cappers and um declawing is amputation

1898
02:57:30,120 --> 02:57:34,280
Yeah, that's brutal. Yeah, what drives me nuts is when people clip bird wings

1899
02:57:35,160 --> 02:57:39,240
super common Oh interesting because they don't want them flying around their house

1900
02:57:39,320 --> 02:57:45,000
But they want to let them out of the cage And it's easier to get them to like sit on you if you clip their wings so they can't fly away

1901
02:57:45,160 --> 02:57:49,640
So my aunt used to always clip them a little So they could fly for a while

1902
02:57:49,640 --> 02:57:57,080
But then like they they couldn't like take off Yeah, what would you what would you say to that? I'm just curious. I don't know enough about that. Um

1903
02:57:57,880 --> 02:58:02,520
It doesn't hurt them just to be clear. It's just guys. I'm not saying it's the same. I'm not saying it's the same

1904
02:58:02,520 --> 02:58:06,840
Yeah, he's not saying it's the same you're taking an animal that is you know, you're not you're not it's a

1905
02:58:08,120 --> 02:58:11,320
You're not amputating the wing of the bird or something like that

1906
02:58:11,320 --> 02:58:16,120
But you're taking an animal that is supposed to fly and has instincts to fly and you're not allowing that's it'll try

1907
02:58:17,400 --> 02:58:24,920
And it'll flop over And it won't understand why it can't fly and that's like if you understand what's going on when it is

1908
02:58:25,560 --> 02:58:30,280
Confused about why it can't fly like that's depressing. I don't know it's not it's not the same thing is

1909
02:58:30,680 --> 02:58:32,840
cutting a hand off or something like that, but it's like

1910
02:58:33,880 --> 02:58:40,280
It's pretty rough. Um, I'm not a fan of it. I I do think there are potentially some benefits

1911
02:58:40,920 --> 02:58:44,120
to Wing clipping at the very beginning

1912
02:58:44,520 --> 02:58:47,640
Mm-hmm So that they get used to

1913
02:58:48,200 --> 02:58:53,160
Like walking around on the floor and stuff and get comfortable with this the the ground space

1914
02:58:53,960 --> 02:59:00,440
So that if they Do get like frightened and then fly around for too long and run out of gas before they get to a good landing spot and land on

1915
02:59:00,440 --> 02:59:04,280
The ground they're comfortable. That's something a lot of people don't know is birds can't fly for like that long

1916
02:59:04,520 --> 02:59:11,240
Yeah, they have like no energy reserves doors when there's no like drafts and stuff to keep them up when it's just wing power

1917
02:59:11,400 --> 02:59:20,840
Yeah, they're gonna gas out for sure Um alon asks what about de-sexing also amputation, right by de-sexing. Do you mean like fixing and neutering?

1918
02:59:21,320 --> 02:59:23,320
spaying and neutering because

1919
02:59:24,600 --> 02:59:27,960
They're right now

1920
02:59:28,920 --> 02:59:32,600
Miss and panda are recovering from their spay and neuter operations

1921
02:59:33,320 --> 02:59:37,160
I am I am fully spay and neuter your pets people cats dude

1922
02:59:37,720 --> 02:59:44,040
Are literally an invasive species that is a threat to many other species particularly birds

1923
02:59:44,600 --> 02:59:49,880
Um, and we don't need more of them. We have enough of them. Uh, spay and neuter your pets guys

1924
02:59:52,440 --> 02:59:56,520
How now dll cow took my commuter bag on its maiden voyage today

1925
02:59:56,920 --> 02:59:59,320
When will you offer the titanium carabiners?

1926
02:59:59,960 --> 03:00:04,600
direction kit of the big backpack in the store so I can upgrade my commuter

1927
03:00:05,560 --> 03:00:09,400
Oh We weren't planning to um

1928
03:00:10,760 --> 03:00:14,680
That's I don't know. That's kind of a cool idea because a lot of people didn't redeem them

1929
03:00:15,000 --> 03:00:21,080
So we like have a bunch of them. Um, I think we're using some of them. It's called liability material

1930
03:00:21,480 --> 03:00:28,760
So, uh, like like extras. I think we're using some of our liability carabiners for a cool like ultra ultra lightweight

1931
03:00:29,480 --> 03:00:37,560
Jacket that stuffs up into one of the pockets And then you zip it and then it has like a carabiners so you can like clip it onto your backpack or whatever. Um, that's we're making one of those

1932
03:00:37,720 --> 03:00:41,800
Yeah, that's it's really nice. I had one for years and then

1933
03:00:42,920 --> 03:00:45,560
It should have survived this it is not her fault

1934
03:00:46,120 --> 03:00:50,920
It it like on the website. It says it should survive this but Emma threw it in the the washer and it just

1935
03:00:51,560 --> 03:00:56,520
Shredded itself. It's um, it was very old. It's super cool. So what it is is the

1936
03:00:57,240 --> 03:01:01,080
Uh, the the pattern that's printed on it is the like microscopic

1937
03:01:02,040 --> 03:01:06,840
Structure of some metal. I forget what it is, but it's like a metal that's relevant to like one of our

1938
03:01:07,400 --> 03:01:14,360
One of our long-time collaborators or something like that I think it might be it might be whatever metal framework uses in their chassis or something like that like it's uh,

1939
03:01:15,080 --> 03:01:19,240
I forget that Tatiana would know all the details. Um, sure, but it's got a cool pattern

1940
03:01:19,320 --> 03:01:25,720
But it's got a really cool pattern. It looks really cool It's not going to be cheap because it's a like really lightweight but still really high performance material and stuff

1941
03:01:27,160 --> 03:01:35,880
But it's cool Did you see anything on the technical side when backstage or on set of the Jimmy Fallon show that you would like to

1942
03:01:35,960 --> 03:01:40,280
Adopt or integrate into the production of LTT videos question. What impressed you the most?

1943
03:01:41,400 --> 03:01:46,680
The thing that impressed me the most was just generally the smoothness like there's monitors everywhere

1944
03:01:47,320 --> 03:01:54,040
The entire studio area is plumbed with the audio from the show. So everyone knows like what's going on

1945
03:01:55,000 --> 03:01:57,880
Which is like great for just situational awareness

1946
03:01:58,440 --> 03:02:02,120
Um, mostly I'm not going to lie. I didn't recognize

1947
03:02:02,680 --> 03:02:08,680
Most of the equipment that they were using they're operating on a completely different level. Yeah, and our sets are designed to be

1948
03:02:09,480 --> 03:02:12,040
Quickly modularly dynamically moved around

1949
03:02:12,600 --> 03:02:18,840
That is a permanent set. They do one thing. Yeah, and they do it real good

1950
03:02:19,080 --> 03:02:25,960
It's a lot easier to do one thing incredibly well I'd say the smoothness of everything. I was I was just super impressed by the team

1951
03:02:28,520 --> 03:02:33,400
I went out deal. Oh my first LTT video was luke's great geodude pc

1952
03:02:34,200 --> 03:02:39,640
After the bulbasaur pc. What would you like to build next? I'm not building another one anytime soon

1953
03:02:39,720 --> 03:02:45,160
I'd love to see a magic carp or giradose theme in the thermal take immersion case. Okay now. I'm tempted

1954
03:02:45,960 --> 03:02:50,920
Told you told you there's what get you you can't do the immersion thing because you don't want the liquid with the birds

1955
03:02:51,080 --> 03:02:54,120
Yeah, but you can have it at work No

1956
03:02:54,120 --> 03:02:58,440
With the it department doesn't need to deal with that with uh with my roommate out

1957
03:02:58,680 --> 03:03:01,640
It could be more viable depending on where we end up situating things

1958
03:03:01,720 --> 03:03:04,520
But I would still probably want them to be somewhat. I don't know. Yeah

1959
03:03:06,600 --> 03:03:11,400
Yeah I'm thinking of upgrading my computer from a Ryzen 7 2700x

1960
03:03:11,480 --> 03:03:17,640
But keeping my rtx 3080 since I only do 1440p or should I go all the marbles and get the new 50 series?

1961
03:03:18,360 --> 03:03:24,920
3080 is still a really decent card pretty solid card. Here's an answer that people don't give enough

1962
03:03:26,920 --> 03:03:31,320
Try it How am I supposed to answer that question for you?

1963
03:03:31,800 --> 03:03:34,840
Upgrade your CPU and your motherboard and and round. Oh, yeah

1964
03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:38,680
And then see if you're happy with it because you're gonna get a nice little performance uplift

1965
03:03:39,080 --> 03:03:44,600
And then if you're not happy with it, well, hey This gives you a little bit of time. You can start like it's not usable

1966
03:03:44,760 --> 03:03:47,480
You can use your system with the 3080 play some games

1967
03:03:48,120 --> 03:03:52,120
And then when it's when you're in a comfortable financial position to upgrade it go for it

1968
03:03:52,920 --> 03:03:58,600
The good news is that with the way things are looking based on the pricing that NVIDIA announced for the 50 series

1969
03:03:59,720 --> 03:04:05,160
40 series and 30 series might continue to hold their value pretty okay. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, go for it

1970
03:04:05,880 --> 03:04:13,080
Yeah Honestly 3080s are still beast. They're still decent. Yeah, the only reason that I'm upgrading mine is like because I can

1971
03:04:13,800 --> 03:04:17,560
And like I really want a new one Which is and that's

1972
03:04:17,560 --> 03:04:22,920
Fine and fair enough. Yeah, it's not rational though. Also. I have a like, uh, I have a

1973
03:04:23,000 --> 03:04:26,840
480 hertz monitor on my desk right now or 500 whatever whatever the last like a suce

1974
03:04:26,840 --> 03:04:32,280
The only thing that really has me interested in the in the 50 series stuff is the AI capabilities for non gaming things

1975
03:04:33,480 --> 03:04:36,040
That's that's very interesting

1976
03:04:38,280 --> 03:04:43,800
But as far as games go like I don't know Especially if you're turning on the technologies that they they want you to

1977
03:04:44,600 --> 03:04:49,720
Then it's like, I don't know friends are fine. A 4080 is pretty freaking fast. Yeah, if you turn on like frame gen

1978
03:04:49,960 --> 03:04:56,280
Yeah, and even if you don't if you have a 4080 like you're crushing everything anyways. I don't know. Yeah, and you're 4080, right?

1979
03:04:56,440 --> 03:04:59,560
Yeah, yeah, okay, look, I'll give you compute time on mine

1980
03:05:00,840 --> 03:05:07,880
Are you buying one? I I would like to I think I think this this year is the time I get a founders

1981
03:05:08,760 --> 03:05:13,160
Obviously completely irrational purchase. I just kind of want one

1982
03:05:13,640 --> 03:05:18,600
It's a meme especially with nick, but it's a meme with the Labs team that was down. It's a yes

1983
03:05:18,920 --> 03:05:22,600
How much I think the the dual flow through fans are so freaking cool

1984
03:05:22,680 --> 03:05:27,640
And it's a two slot. I want it because it's a two slot. It's super cool. It's a founders

1985
03:05:28,040 --> 03:05:31,960
I want one for the AI stuff. I've already got very many expensive

1986
03:05:32,520 --> 03:05:40,440
Founders is Save Luke money riddle me this down you can have compute. What are you going to install in your other PCIe slots now that you've freed them up?

1987
03:05:41,640 --> 03:05:45,560
Uh, well, I have dual slot really. I have seven on the other one

1988
03:05:45,640 --> 03:05:52,600
Well, I and it can't I can barely fit my NVMe PCI my card or my usb card, but it does fit

1989
03:05:53,640 --> 03:05:55,640
Yeah, it's like touching the fans

1990
03:05:58,840 --> 03:06:04,600
I want a smaller computer like I already said it's not a reasonable like

1991
03:06:05,240 --> 03:06:10,280
purchase None of the third parties are going to do two slots. So yeah

1992
03:06:10,920 --> 03:06:14,520
All right. I don't have to defend myself because it's a stupid purchase

1993
03:06:15,480 --> 03:06:20,520
That's fair I mean if you take a lot of the wind out of the sails of your detractors if you're just like

1994
03:06:21,080 --> 03:06:27,560
I am making a bad decision. Yeah. I am doing so knowingly and willfully. I'm doing this for joy

1995
03:06:28,040 --> 03:06:31,320
Not because it's smart. I just I think you know, you know that thing

1996
03:06:31,400 --> 03:06:37,160
I was talking to you about like a long time ago when I started laying out predictions for AI stuff and I was like companies are going to have

1997
03:06:38,120 --> 03:06:43,480
Effectively like mainframes again on prem. Yeah, that's like happening big. Oh so fast

1998
03:06:45,000 --> 03:06:49,800
And part of it is like I don't want to fall behind

1999
03:06:50,840 --> 03:06:57,080
So like What my job is I like I'm no I'm not going to try to expense one in my personal computer. Don't worry

2000
03:06:57,240 --> 03:07:03,720
Yeah, you're right But I part of me is like I need to start working with like local AI systems more

2001
03:07:03,880 --> 03:07:09,320
I've been very aware of well, maybe what we should do is we should build like a local AI compute machine

2002
03:07:09,480 --> 03:07:14,360
That everyone can kind of share time on and we'll just like put it in the lab in the lab server room

2003
03:07:14,360 --> 03:07:18,040
And like is would that be kind of a helpful solution potentially? Yeah, yeah

2004
03:07:18,040 --> 03:07:21,320
We've been talking about it, especially with like the cool video whatever it's called digits

2005
03:07:22,040 --> 03:07:24,520
Yeah, that was an idea too. Like do we get a digits?

2006
03:07:25,320 --> 03:07:30,280
I think we should get at least one. Yeah, I'm looking at that. I'm not that convinced for three grand

2007
03:07:30,280 --> 03:07:33,720
I'm not that convinced. You couldn't just build a $3,000 tower and put a freaking

2008
03:07:34,360 --> 03:07:37,800
5090 in it. We try to see which ones were viable. Do you want to want to play with mine?

2009
03:07:38,120 --> 03:07:41,160
Yeah, well part of it's also the RAM being able to

2010
03:07:42,600 --> 03:07:47,880
Yep Sorry, what was that done? Do you want to play with mine as like a test run because that's what I built

2011
03:07:48,040 --> 03:07:51,880
What a thing to say if we didn't have the context for it context really does matter, doesn't it?

2012
03:07:52,840 --> 03:07:57,800
Wait, what do you mean? Well, because I asked if you want to play with his you want to play with mine

2013
03:07:57,800 --> 03:08:02,440
Do you want to play with his do you want to play with Dan's? I built a mule

2014
03:08:02,440 --> 03:08:04,440
But I'm talking blackwell

2015
03:08:05,880 --> 03:08:10,760
Uh, no, well, I mean I will if you want I'll put the 5090 in it, but I was kind of hoping to

2016
03:08:11,720 --> 03:08:15,480
How many how many this is one question I have Dan. It's how many 5090s?

2017
03:08:16,200 --> 03:08:20,200
One, are you sure? Yes, how many 4090s do you have dad one? Oh

2018
03:08:20,680 --> 03:08:27,880
How many 4090s did you have Dan? What do you mean did just that's all wait was it 30 90s yet a bunch of don't ask

2019
03:08:28,520 --> 03:08:31,800
How many 30 90s did you have Dan? three

2020
03:08:31,800 --> 03:08:33,800
Why and two 2080 ti's

2021
03:08:34,840 --> 03:08:37,240
Because you can get them super cheap when they're abused by

2022
03:08:38,360 --> 03:08:42,840
By mining and barely run and then we'll continue to be a bruised. What does barely run mean?

2023
03:08:43,400 --> 03:08:49,400
Uh, I don't know What does that even mean in the context of a GPU what the fan is broken like what are we even talking about?

2024
03:08:49,640 --> 03:08:54,860
Yeah, you're right. People keep asking What's digits it's it's this?

2025
03:08:56,360 --> 03:09:02,040
NVIDIA project digits. It's this little thing right here. Yeah, it's a little like it looks kind of like a mac mini

2026
03:09:02,760 --> 03:09:06,120
But it's golden because of course it is ARM cpus

2027
03:09:06,840 --> 03:09:15,000
and uh, and Grace blackwell, so it's a grace blackwell. Sorry grace, uh cpus and then blackwell GPU GPU. Yeah, yeah

2028
03:09:15,560 --> 03:09:23,480
cool Yeah, that's what it is. Basically, it's a it's a it's a dev platform AI dev box. Yeah. Yeah, um, but yeah

2029
03:09:23,800 --> 03:09:28,520
I mean Nick in the lab has shown a lot of interest in in this type of stuff. Yeah, um

2030
03:09:29,320 --> 03:09:36,680
It's like clearly where where things are kind of headed. Um, and I need to not fall behind so

2031
03:09:37,720 --> 03:09:40,200
You're welcome to time on on my box

2032
03:09:42,120 --> 03:09:45,640
That's why I built Dan Oh

2033
03:09:45,640 --> 03:09:50,920
Holy f*** dude. Well, okay. We shot a video recently and I called it by its actual name. So

2034
03:09:54,120 --> 03:10:01,160
Next merch message, it's brand cute. We worked on it together when we did a company events. No, it's the naming

2035
03:10:01,960 --> 03:10:10,840
It's what you called it. I'm a child. I'm sorry Uh, long time listener first time merch messenger. My work involves optimization for manufacturing and logistics

2036
03:10:10,840 --> 03:10:16,200
Can you share any insights on how LMG and cw plans and manages these fields? Keep being awesome

2037
03:10:17,480 --> 03:10:21,080
Nope And the answer is I just don't know

2038
03:10:21,400 --> 03:10:27,960
Um, I don't do much on the operations side these days and as far as creator warehouse

2039
03:10:28,200 --> 03:10:37,720
We uh, we hired patrick who I used to work with at ncix to be our third party logistics company. So, um, you know, nick obviously or like

2040
03:10:38,040 --> 03:10:41,240
You know dave from the cw team would coordinate with patrick or whatever

2041
03:10:41,320 --> 03:10:45,640
But I only see patrick every once in a while to be like, how's it going chris pie five

2042
03:10:46,600 --> 03:10:48,600
Thanks for your business, you know

2043
03:10:50,120 --> 03:10:54,280
Thanks for your partnership. Yeah, sorry guys. I don't I don't have much to contribute there

2044
03:10:56,840 --> 03:10:59,720
Linus came across the 10 years of gaming pc's vid

2045
03:10:59,960 --> 03:11:07,320
I loved how it catalogued the history of each era Do you think creating a series that contextualizes pc history through each hardware generation?

2046
03:11:07,800 --> 03:11:13,320
Is worth it. I think that sounds like an enormous super cool project

2047
03:11:13,320 --> 03:11:16,440
And it's exactly the kind of thing that I would love to put in like

2048
03:11:17,080 --> 03:11:21,800
You know the the LTT tech museum or something like that like I I kind of

2049
03:11:23,000 --> 03:11:30,760
Okay, I don't want anybody to get excited about this But it's it's on a dock of like potential business ideas, you know or potential

2050
03:11:31,480 --> 03:11:37,000
future ideas In all likelihood that is that is not going anywhere

2051
03:11:37,480 --> 03:11:44,040
um But it was something that I thought would be really cool because it would both act as a as a funnel

2052
03:11:44,600 --> 03:11:48,280
to to Create ideas for content

2053
03:11:48,520 --> 03:11:55,800
And it would be somewhere for us to put Some of the stuff that we create for content where people could actually interact with it and enjoy it like

2054
03:11:56,440 --> 03:12:01,720
We oh we did such a cool video this week. Have you seen the all-in-one gaming tv?

2055
03:12:02,680 --> 03:12:07,080
No Okay No, well you're not going to find it

2056
03:12:07,080 --> 03:12:09,720
We shot it this week. Oh, yeah, definitely not that

2057
03:12:10,360 --> 03:12:12,360
all right, let's see if I can find

2058
03:12:13,480 --> 03:12:16,440
An early version of sort of

2059
03:12:17,480 --> 03:12:20,760
Taking this idea and doing something with it

2060
03:12:21,240 --> 03:12:27,960
Um when we just didn't have the resources or the time to do what we did this week

2061
03:12:28,920 --> 03:12:31,320
Um, I'm trying to find it and it's so

2062
03:12:32,120 --> 03:12:37,320
Hard to search for things on youtube these days. I will be the first to admit that the way we title our videos

2063
03:12:38,040 --> 03:12:40,040
Doesn't always help

2064
03:12:41,480 --> 03:12:45,560
But it is also Really really hard to search for stuff

2065
03:12:46,200 --> 03:12:52,040
Anyway, we we did a video where we basically said okay hear me out. What if tv's didn't really need to be that much thinner?

2066
03:12:52,600 --> 03:12:55,560
And what if it would be cooler if we just packed

2067
03:12:56,200 --> 03:13:00,760
Like way more features into them. We put like giant speakers in them and we like integrated

2068
03:13:01,640 --> 03:13:08,040
All this stuff. So we built it We bought you remember those old rear projection tv's from like the mid 2000s

2069
03:13:09,320 --> 03:13:18,040
We bought one a sony We ripped everything out. We gutted it in its place. We put a brand new OLED panel. Okay. Yeah

2070
03:13:19,560 --> 03:13:24,520
We put a top of the line gaming pc We put a playstation 5

2071
03:13:24,680 --> 03:13:28,680
We put a we you And we put a switch including

2072
03:13:29,240 --> 03:13:35,880
Exterior access to the switch and in the front the little the little hinge to access like the front video

2073
03:13:36,280 --> 03:13:41,000
We cut all that out. We put the we you there. So you pull down the little thing. There's your we you boom disc

2074
03:13:42,440 --> 03:13:48,600
The whole thing is completely sealed up. So it's like the sleeper gaming tv. It's

2075
03:13:49,960 --> 03:13:57,960
So cool. We was underrated Honestly, when I saw the bigger switch the first thing I thought was I hope it feels more like the we you controller did

2076
03:13:58,360 --> 03:14:01,080
Because the we you controller was like amazing. Yeah

2077
03:14:02,280 --> 03:14:09,160
So it's a it's a great video alex Justin and sebastian actually from cw out did themselves

2078
03:14:09,800 --> 03:14:14,840
And it is almost looks factory good like the tv like the fit

2079
03:14:16,360 --> 03:14:19,720
Like it's so oh, it's so good. That's pretty sick. It looks so

2080
03:14:20,440 --> 03:14:24,200
Unnatural and out of place. I recorded a clip. I don't know if it's going to make it into the edit

2081
03:14:24,200 --> 03:14:27,320
But I was talking about how it looks it looks like it's um

2082
03:14:28,440 --> 03:14:32,040
It looks like it's screen replaced like in real life

2083
03:14:32,440 --> 03:14:36,600
It looks like they rotoscoped out whatever was on and like put content in in post

2084
03:14:37,000 --> 03:14:44,360
Like it just it looks unnaturally good. It's so cool. That's pretty why we you asks black raven because it's amazing

2085
03:14:44,840 --> 03:14:50,840
Yeah, because it it's like the ultimate emulation box it can do it natively plays

2086
03:14:51,400 --> 03:14:58,680
What is it? Two Two generations plus even more with the if you've bought stuff in the in like the retro store

2087
03:14:58,680 --> 03:15:05,720
Which I forget what it's called the we you shop or whatever Plus you can put like homebrew firmware on it and run a whole bunch of other systems as well

2088
03:15:07,080 --> 03:15:12,120
It has native support for the gamecube controller. It has like man, it's

2089
03:15:12,600 --> 03:15:15,240
Dude, it's sick. It's it's actually a sick

2090
03:15:15,800 --> 03:15:20,280
Console also it does have a ps5 in it as well. So switch we u ps5 and pc

2091
03:15:20,280 --> 03:15:25,880
We didn't have an xbox because we have a pc So what are you in your xbox for if you have a like sick gaming pc? Yep

2092
03:15:27,240 --> 03:15:30,600
Linus, how do you feel about the s2 going back to the lcd screen?

2093
03:15:32,360 --> 03:15:35,000
What sorry, so I think that's the switch to

2094
03:15:35,800 --> 03:15:43,240
maybe Is that true? We didn't talk about that. I don't think uh, is that is that final? Is that finalized? Is that confirmed?

2095
03:15:43,400 --> 03:15:46,680
Oh, it might be the galaxy s2. No, what is this?

2096
03:15:47,320 --> 03:15:50,360
Must be switch to is this a thing? I don't know

2097
03:15:51,000 --> 03:15:56,120
See people are saying definitely not confirmed. I'll be disappointed. I'll be disappointed the OLED switch looks

2098
03:15:57,880 --> 03:16:01,880
So good so good

2099
03:16:03,320 --> 03:16:08,760
I hope not All right, thank you for you restocking the pet cave. Do your pets have nicknames?

2100
03:16:08,840 --> 03:16:15,720
My cat's nickname has overtaken and she only gets called by her actual name when she's getting scolded shout out to melody aka the poot

2101
03:16:16,440 --> 03:16:21,880
Uh, yeah. Oh, definitely. Um, they have so many nicknames. So why don't I start with dash?

2102
03:16:22,440 --> 03:16:29,320
um dashy Um doodoo. I think every pet has the nickname of its name, but with e

2103
03:16:32,120 --> 03:16:34,120
My chunky girl

2104
03:16:35,800 --> 03:16:38,840
She does the thing where uh, she like eats defensively

2105
03:16:39,640 --> 03:16:42,760
So she's gotten territorial about the food so she tries to eat it all

2106
03:16:43,080 --> 03:16:45,800
So she's a little on the she's a little on the chunkier side

2107
03:16:46,200 --> 03:16:49,160
um And then uh, what else we've got?

2108
03:16:49,720 --> 03:16:54,360
What are all my cats? Okay, we got brownie. So we also call him uh brown boy boo boo

2109
03:16:54,680 --> 03:16:59,880
So they all have like the first letter of their name. Uh, nicknames. Um

2110
03:17:01,720 --> 03:17:06,600
And then we got uh noodle, uh, so he has new new uh and also nudes

2111
03:17:08,520 --> 03:17:12,440

um, and then I accidentally call them Oreo every once in a while because that was the other candidate name and then, um

2115
03:17:31,640 --> 03:17:36,680
mischief Usually goes by miss or missy or moomoo

2116
03:17:37,720 --> 03:17:41,480
If the kids are talking to her there all pet nicknames confirmed

2117
03:17:43,160 --> 03:17:45,160
Come on. It's stinky

2118
03:17:46,520 --> 03:17:55,880
You call your aunt Sorry, like cat. Okay cat cat car our two birds are scoop and walley and then our foundling is

2119
03:17:56,520 --> 03:17:58,520
Uh, nixie

2120
03:17:59,560 --> 03:18:04,200
That's it. No nicknames Uh, just variants of that. Hmm

2121
03:18:05,160 --> 03:18:08,120
Nixie's a little hard to do variants of it already sounds like a variant

2122
03:18:09,080 --> 03:18:11,400
Uh, scoop scoopy whatever. I don't know

2123
03:18:12,840 --> 03:18:17,080
Oop scoop who got to choose the felon walk on music

2124
03:18:18,200 --> 03:18:23,080
I was as surprised as anyone. Did you notice? No, they played the peanuts theme song

2125
03:18:23,320 --> 03:18:27,800
Really? Yeah, you could it's uh, it's an older reference, but it checks out. Yeah

2126
03:18:29,240 --> 03:18:34,200
Wonder who's job is to clear that. Do you have no idea until you're walking out? Yeah. Wow. I'm gonna be honest with you

2127
03:18:34,840 --> 03:18:40,280
I didn't notice I only noticed it when I watched it back and someone pointed it out to me

2128
03:18:40,520 --> 03:18:43,320
I don't even think I noticed it when I watched it back. I was like dude

2129
03:18:44,840 --> 03:18:48,920
I was hopped up on so much adrenaline. I had no idea what was going on

2130
03:18:49,560 --> 03:18:52,920
I believe it. I can be a I can be a stressed out boy sometimes

2131
03:18:53,960 --> 03:18:56,920
I I heard nothing when I walked out

2132
03:18:58,760 --> 03:19:02,280
Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey Linus and Luke

2133
03:19:02,280 --> 03:19:07,400
I'm part of a high school robotics club and we're working on getting funding for our team to purchase new machining tools

2134
03:19:07,640 --> 03:19:11,000
Do you have any advice on getting tech sponsorships? Dude, it's tough

2135
03:19:11,560 --> 03:19:15,480
um Like I don't want to tell you to spam anybody

2136
03:19:15,960 --> 03:19:19,080
But I do want to tell you to you know reach out broadly

2137
03:19:19,480 --> 03:19:24,360
Um, I want to tell you to maybe some modern tools that can help you with that. Um

2138
03:19:26,440 --> 03:19:28,440
Make it personal, you know

2139
03:19:29,640 --> 03:19:32,200
Lead with okay. Here's a big one

2140
03:19:32,760 --> 03:19:36,760
Demonstrate that there is some chance that you guys are going to do something useful. So show

2141
03:19:37,480 --> 03:19:41,480
Receipts for other really cool stuff that you or your teammates have done

2142
03:19:41,560 --> 03:19:44,760
I would say that is a really big one that stands out to us

2143
03:19:45,160 --> 03:19:52,920
Cohen lemon really good advice start local like actually walk knock on doors. Um, that can be a really good idea as well

2144
03:19:57,320 --> 03:20:02,920
Any thoughts on the max more for more for money than tech sponsorships because like I don't know texas instruments might not be in your town

2145
03:20:03,560 --> 03:20:08,360
okay Any thoughts on the max bandwidth that will ever be needed per person

2146
03:20:09,000 --> 03:20:13,720
You have discussed this before but it has only been a couple years in the morning If there's anything lately that would drive it up

2147
03:20:13,880 --> 03:20:17,800
It's less that I think there's a max bandwidth that we need per person per se

2148
03:20:18,120 --> 03:20:20,840
Like I know we have talked about how there is kind of

2149
03:20:21,640 --> 03:20:27,080
a max um conceivable bandwidth per person is assuming that um, you know

2150
03:20:27,880 --> 03:20:32,920
beyond 8k Never really happens because it's irrelevant to humans

2151
03:20:33,800 --> 03:20:38,360
outside of like vr applications where you're like stretching it way over the entire field of view

2152
03:20:40,920 --> 03:20:47,880
I am like streaming with low latency encoding at extremely high bit rates in the future like I don't know

2153
03:20:48,040 --> 03:20:51,080
Conceivably like more bandwidth, but I think you're talking about internet bandwidth

2154
03:20:51,560 --> 03:20:56,600
For me, it's less that I think there's a limit to how much bandwidth we could use like I wouldn't mind downloading

2155
03:20:57,560 --> 03:21:04,760
Uh black myth wukong in five seconds. I'm sure yeah, I'll bring it on but there are cost and

2156
03:21:05,560 --> 03:21:09,080
um point of diminishing returns points that are

2157
03:21:10,040 --> 03:21:12,840
practical obstacles to that ever really happening

2158
03:21:13,640 --> 03:21:15,880
um like companies that provide

2159
03:21:17,160 --> 03:21:19,960
The bandwidth that they provide at the speed that they provide it

2160
03:21:20,520 --> 03:21:26,280
essentially for free like steam Doesn't get paid more for that game you bought if they give you faster download speeds

2161
03:21:26,280 --> 03:21:32,440
It's basically that they get paid 30 for that game though. Yes, but it's it's basically so they'd be making fat stats

2162
03:21:32,440 --> 03:21:38,600
It's at their discretion though how much that download bandwidth they determine they wish to give you and so

2163
03:21:39,160 --> 03:21:42,680
I just I haven't seen other than game downloads. I haven't seen any

2164
03:21:43,640 --> 03:21:49,800
And other big downloads. I haven't really seen a practical use for much beyond, you know, two and a half gig

2165
03:21:50,520 --> 03:21:57,240
Um, but I know I know Jake is like amped that one of our local carriers is moving to I think either five or ten gig to the whole

2166
03:21:57,240 --> 03:22:02,120
He just said in chat. I'm getting tell us five gig next week. Yeah, there you go. I'm so jealous. Yeah, there you go

2167
03:22:02,840 --> 03:22:08,520
But I don't know what he's gonna do with okay. I know what he's gonna do with it But I'm not gonna talk about what he's gonna do with it. All right. What's next?

2168
03:22:10,920 --> 03:22:15,560
We know we know hey lld Linus. I want to upgrade my first serious badminton gear

2169
03:22:15,560 --> 03:22:19,960
What do you have any recommendations or tips with buying shoes rackets or shuttle cocks, etc

2170
03:22:19,960 --> 03:22:22,680
As with any time you buy shoes buy shoes that fit you

2171
03:22:23,800 --> 03:22:27,960
That's the most important thing as for a racket a lot of places will let you trial them

2172
03:22:28,280 --> 03:22:31,720
Whether it's friends or other members in the badminton community people are super friendly

2173
03:22:32,120 --> 03:22:36,840
Um, if you see something you like say, hey, can I can I play a you know five points with it?

2174
03:22:37,240 --> 03:22:41,400
People are often very very friendly if you are also friendly as for shuttles

2175
03:22:42,040 --> 03:22:45,720
Man, are they ever getting affordable dude? I should have invested in badminton shuttles

2176
03:22:46,600 --> 03:22:51,800
Because they're getting more affordable. No because they're getting more expensive. Oh dude if I just said affordable

2177
03:22:51,960 --> 03:22:58,040
No, no unaffordable. Sorry. So I meant to say unaffordable. Dude. They're they're wild. They're wild dude. Um

2178
03:22:59,480 --> 03:23:03,720
Try and find something you can afford. Wait, if you're a badminton center now, is that good for you? No

2179
03:23:04,360 --> 03:23:08,120
Oh our costs go up But don't you charge more?

2180
03:23:08,120 --> 03:23:15,640
Yeah, but like there's a limit like a tube a tube of yonix as 50s is like 70 canadian dollars retail now or something like that

2181
03:23:16,120 --> 03:23:18,840
Like it's wild. It's just just just 12 shuttles in there

2182
03:23:19,640 --> 03:23:22,120
You miss hit one shot and you spent like

2183
03:23:22,680 --> 03:23:30,920
What's that? What's that work at like eight dollars? Or no, no, not not eight dollars like five bucks though like 550. That's rough. Yeah, that's crazy

2184
03:23:31,320 --> 03:23:34,760
Can we collect luke's bird feathers and make mini ones?

2185
03:23:35,640 --> 03:23:41,800
No Wait, no, it's it's more than that. Hold on. Is their feathers are very small? Yeah, they have like little

2186
03:23:43,400 --> 03:23:48,360
They play with like spoons. They would also take forever. Oh, I was pretty close

2187
03:23:51,080 --> 03:23:57,640
Let's see Would you guys please consider publishing the source model files like the fusion or solid works for the prints?

2188
03:23:57,960 --> 03:24:03,080
I work I can work with the models directly, but having this saves me a bit of time in some cases

2189
03:24:03,480 --> 03:24:10,280
That's a good question. I am not the most experienced when it comes to things like 3d modeling

2190
03:24:10,360 --> 03:24:15,400
So I have to assume that the team made the decision that they made for reasons

2191
03:24:15,800 --> 03:24:21,400
That is a very reasonable way of asking though. And um, I would love to can we can we forward that to um

2192
03:24:22,520 --> 03:24:28,280
Oh, who's on point for this? Okay. I I'll discuss it with the team on monday. Thank you. Yes. Thanks

2193
03:24:29,240 --> 03:24:33,720
Uh, hey Linus. How's the sv 650 doing? Great. And how dare you ask me?

2194
03:24:34,920 --> 03:24:36,920
Uh, not great. I

2195
03:24:38,040 --> 03:24:40,680
I primed a bunch of stuff and I have some runs

2196
03:24:41,240 --> 03:24:43,560
So I need to go and send them back down

2197
03:24:44,280 --> 03:24:49,080
And then I am so stressed because the fact that I'm having such a hard time putting the primer on evenly

2198
03:24:49,160 --> 03:24:53,880
Really does not bode well for the translucent for my second attempt at the translucent layer. I'm just

2199
03:24:54,920 --> 03:25:01,640
It's hard And I will do my it's it's it everything is shaped so funky if I was painting the hood of a car or something

2200
03:25:01,960 --> 03:25:07,320
Huh, huh easy, but there's so many facets and so many different angles and little

2201
03:25:08,040 --> 03:25:10,040
crevices and

2202
03:25:11,720 --> 03:25:16,600
Will the magnetic chest strap for LTT backpack work with the commuter bag?

2203
03:25:16,600 --> 03:25:27,960
It's an add-on isn't it? Yeah. Yeah

2204
03:25:30,200 --> 03:25:36,920
Oh, he has both bags here. Do you have one of the magnetic straps? No, you're checking if the attachment points are the same. Yes

2205
03:25:37,800 --> 03:25:45,640
They appear to be the same but I would double check with support. Yeah

2206
03:25:46,200 --> 03:25:51,640
There does not appear to be any reason why you wouldn't be able to put the magnetic chest strap on the commuter bag

2207
03:25:54,760 --> 03:25:58,360
That's all I got Well, then that's all I got

2208
03:25:58,360 --> 03:26:03,400
Thank you guys Very much coming back to how we started the show today for your support

2209
