I don't think wait man It's what are you talking about damn tries to take blame for things sometimes when it's not his fault There's only three people here. You guys didn't do anything. How is it only us? Cardboard with desiccated sugar berries. I'm good. Thank you. Bye, Sammy It is funnier when Dan takes the limb I agree are we ready? I think so Yeah, it looks like it's nice and stable now, and then I perf has passed master. Yeah, so AJ just now What the heck did he message you oh Yes, he did my phone just gave me a notification five minutes late because I hate modern technology, but AJ's just sent me essentially the same thing I was planning on saying which is I think that's the best we can do for now Properly diving into this will take more time in the future, but this is what we got for now We have some we'll send it root cause but yeah, we've got a band-aid. Yeah You want to finish your Whatever you called it, which was good, but I can't remember desiccated cardboard with with dried dried berries berries or something And maybe almond slices Nice do you like them no Desperate yep There's a high priority notification mode you can use yep, I do I Still doesn't work. I've had teams give me a notification that was over a year old before Happens my phone barely Consistently uses the alarms properly Why why do I why do I bother I? Don't ever set one alarm for anything anymore. Oh, yeah, I got like eight. Yeah, I have that issue. I Don't sleep through alarms anymore. That's nice. I don't know when that decided to end but very happy that it did Very naughty him before yes, yeah Yeah No, it's American sign language. That's why it costs so much to use it. I can only use three signs All right, let's do this thing By twitch All right, oh, I guess I'll just do the thing Shoot I did actually sign into the thing Nice. Oh, did we figure out what was the right? Like way to go live in terms of like the delay. I Don't think so Think teams is bad my company's using Cisco WebEx. Yeah, that's rough. I feel sorry for you on that one Why I do like the new teams update actually that might be controversial Have you tried it I like that it's higher density or you just heard that a lot lately I just like the compact view. I um, yeah I swapped it over as well and then I separated them. I don't like the channels being included in the DMs No, yeah, I've of course, but it's a little more compact. Yeah, you got to do that I'm still upset that in v2. They remove the ability to get direct links to individual chats Which means that I can't make bots very well anymore Can't just copy and paste the link to the chat. It's all like in line Must be using some Magical technology like a modern web tech or something Okay, should we do this thing sure um, all right close that Republishing I'm resuming the selected I guess I'll just pick a random time to start talking neat Yeah, well, that's what I did last week What's up, everybody welcome to the Wancho we got a great show lined up for you this week We'll be talking about a company that is under fire for anti-consumer behavior and I'll be breaking my silence on them a little bit because they were on my do not talk about list after they threatened to sue me a Number of years ago. Yeah, that's right. My friends will be talking about this That's right. My friends will also be talking about the RTX 50 60 love That happened this week and the silver lining of it because The good news is the RTX 50 60 and 50 60 ti are not the only budget GPUs out there And there are other ones that you can get for a reasonable price near MSRP right now What else we got going on this week? discord trials face scans to verify your age, which Means that if you want to look at something not safe for work, you have to show them who you are first That's cool. That's cute. And also there's some companies that have done good things over the unfortunately years Looking at the time frame that we got the good things from and we'll talk about that to try to make it positive and By popular demand the shipstorm sale event has been extended We've been offering free shipping on all orders over a hundred fifty dollars on LTT Store this week it Wait, what's going on right now? Oh, it ends tomorrow at midnight So we technically only have a little over one more day of free shipping. No, wait, what what am I supposed to oh wait? No? Now you have until Tuesday got it April 22nd at 10 a.m. Pacific Time to get free shipping on all orders over at one hundred fifty dollars and there's more You can get our magnetic cable management essential solution for 70 bucks off. So that's that's the big kit there and And we're also taking ten dollars off our MCM starter kit. So that's not only 15 bucks Okay, but we'll get whatever just we'll talk about that more later The show is brought to you today by net data proton and Delete me also, of course our rap partner dbrand our laptop partner Dell and our chair partner secret lab Alright, let's jump right into our headline topic this week a name I have not spoken the name of in quite some time Synology Hexos NAS operating system disclosure So I recently invested in the creation of a user-friendly NAS software that You can just install on your own hardware without being locked into someone's hardware ecosystem That's gonna be relevant in a moment. First. Let's talk about what happened a couple of days ago Synologies plus series of NAS systems No longer allowed the use of non-synology or non Certified drives to get the full set of features on their NAS Instead hard drives. Yeah, instead customers will be required to buy the company's branded hard drives Which by the way, if you've ever Yeah, if you know anything about company branded hard drives like HP hard drives HP doesn't make hard drives at all And so typically these these vendor locked hard drives are just normal hard drives but with a custom firmware on them and a sticker that Locks them so that you have to pay to you have to buy them directly from the vendor Users that choose to use non-certified drives They'll still work and they'll still be able to store data, but apparently they will lose the following showing estimated drive health reports volume-wide deduplication lifespan analysis automatic firmware updates and more 2024 and older models of Synologies plus series will apparently not be affected by this change, but new devices will have this feature Enabled there apparently is already a workaround if you set up your unsupported drives in an older Synology NAS Then migrate them over they will not be locked out of those features according to Tom's hardware, which Proves that this is absolutely not a hardware feature and is 100% a software lock Yeah, that's garbage. Yeah, that is that is absolute trash garbage And yeah, I think that's I think that's pretty I think that's pretty poopy in In general, I've not been like a huge fan of Synology NAS I don't know if you remember this, but one of the early things that I was super into do you remember Windows home server? Yeah, yeah, okay. I was super into Windows home server. Yeah, I Loved it. It was easy to manage with a full graphical UI It had a brain-dead simple interface for backing up all the systems on your local network The the issue with Windows home server aside from Microsoft abandoning it was that Windows doesn't really have a great Software raid. Yeah, and Microsoft just never saw fit to build it My understanding is that storage spaces at a certain level if you are enough of a wizard administrator might be kind of usable for something but I Have never personally had that experience with it and apparently neither have a lot of people but Windows home server was super cool and one of the things that I liked about it was that it gave you all of the benefits of You know one of these little NAS boxes that you could then buy from companies like Synology like QNAP or whoever else But you weren't Locked to that hardware you could plug in as many drives as you wanted you could put an HBA in and just Expand it you could add more RAM you could put in a faster CPU You could have it do you could have it do anything you wanted depending on How much performance you needed or how much storage you needed and and that's one of the things that always kind of bothered me About these lockdown NASs to be clear. I understand why people buy them and I understand why people like them They're pretty much ready to go out of the box and we have done videos on them in the past where I've said Yep, this seems pretty reasonable but a lot of the time they're not that reasonable and it's It appears to me to be fully intentional where they will you know Not put an m.2 slot on that one Or they will not have a PCIe slot to make sure that you can't have 10 gig networking on that one That would otherwise totally work as a video editing NAS. Yeah, and so the the holy grail for me Has always been to have the benefits of a completely custom solution You know running some Linux distro or whatever else with you know ZFS with whatever fancy patches and you know, you've you've got all your virtualization running on it and whatever else, right? so having all the benefits of that plus the benefits of just easy an easy kind of interface and You know a setup wizard and the simplicity that you get from these pre-done NAS boxes because right now you either Have to learn a whole bunch of stuff that can be fun for some people and that's great if you're into that That's awesome, and I think that's super cool But not everybody's into that or you have to pay a lot of money for devices that appear to be Planned obsolescence incarnate very very intentionally and You know this is something that has been very apparent to me about Synology's model for many many years and now they've been They're basically saying the quiet part out loud. Yeah by switching to this vendor certified vendor locked down hard drive model and Hexos disclosure. I already did okay. Yeah, and that and I was getting to that is Exactly why I invested in hexos because I think you should be able to install something that is as simple to use as Synology So it has that out-of-box experience and app support and ease of use factor while also having the performance and the flexibility of a DIY NAS solution and I think they've kind of nailed it because they're gonna have a subscription model for the software But they will also have a more expensive One-time purchase model and then you just have it forever and you can just have whatever hardware you want in your hexo s NAS now just because you have the license forever doesn't mean they will have no subscriptions like they might introduce their own cloud service or whatever Yeah, for sure that something wires Constant effort or expense on their end. So it has to be tied with a subscription. Yeah, but but in terms of the base software itself Once you own it forever, you will you will own it forever. They're apparently doing great by the way. I am like Kind of blown away. What's like user feedback? People have been really understanding the community not just the user community, but the developer community has rallied Hard around hexo s because they're just like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah Like this is common sense. Why do we not have this someone's finally fucking doing it? I'm in like apparently when we talked about them for the launch they got Just an avalanche of developer applications and I don't mean like like script kiddies who are like I want to I want to help develop the hexo s like They they showed me some of the portfolios work for them. I thought I thought you meant. Okay. Okay. Yeah I thought you meant like people Creating things for the platform. No, no avalanche of applications from people who have portfolios that I was like Oh What they could work anywhere they want? Yeah, yeah, basically or just or just not work or whatever like no like wow Anyway, so yeah, they've got some really talented people working on it now So let's so anyway before hexo s was even a twinkle in the eye of John and Eric and the guys over there My kind of you know tech tips for the people Solution to marry the DIY benefits with the ease of view software benefits was like hey We should do a video on that that Synology like Like hackintosh Hackology or what what's it called? What's uh? Okay, hold on the Synology There's the what's it called? What's it called? Uh, but it but but Exponology, Exponology I don't know if it actually still works, but it was a thing back when we did it and There's there were some limitations, right? Like there were some challenges like it only work on certain hardware there were some like weird hacky workarounds and from my point of view It absolutely was not a complete replacement for for Synology and to be clear I didn't expect Synology to be like stoked that this was something we were making a video about but We actually got as far as shooting the entire video and the actual conclusion of it was like Yeah, if you want the best possible experience, you got to buy the hardware key for the for the lock here But this is if you are you know kind of willing to deal with some some challenges You adapt this thing you might already have then you could then you can install this on hardware that you already have and it like Kind of mostly works and I think it would have actually sold A lot of Synology NASs because most people wouldn't have been willing to go through this work, but we ultimately never released that video because They came after us Incredibly hard. How did they know you're even making it? I do not remember to be perfectly honest with you but we basically said hey, yeah, we Don't agree that us making a video about a thing that is common knowledge Breaks any kind of agreement we would have with you of any sort and I don't think it does no it really doesn't but And I wanted to just publish the video To be to be you know full cards on the table here. I just wanted to say f*** it and just publish the video but we had Other voices internally who felt very strongly that at a somewhat vulnerable time For our company we did not have strong cash reserves. We were not equipped to like fight go to war. Yeah, and that's what they Unfortunately, and you know, I am making some guests about when it might have been and that might have been the right call at the time But unfortunately, that's what they want. Yes, that's exactly what they want these companies use this as a as a tool They don't actually want to end up in court with you so the so the The compromise that we reached was that Synology would be dead to us at that point. Um, and there have been a couple exceptions to that. I think someone's Tech upgrade at some point included a Synology NAS and I basically went well, this seems like a bit of an exception I'm not talking about it. Yeah, and I'm not going to limit people's options for tech upgrades to like Brands that I you know get along with or whatever. Sure, right? Um but other than that I I won't work with them I won't like I I'd need I'd need an apology before I would even Talk to them essentially, um, which has happened with brands before. Well, yeah, of course because Usually what it comes down to is that, you know, someone who works there has a chip on their shoulder or whatever And that individual eventually moves on and you know, the reality of it is that we're probably going to outlast most Individuals in the particular role that they're in and so we can just play the waiting game I mean, that's what happened with envidia. Yeah envidia the the entity didn't like, you know, want to mend fences A couple particular people who were ass hurt um Move done And so we'll we'll work with them and I want to make it very clear You know that is in spite of the fact that we are going to continue to cover them in a way that is fair and balanced and call them out When they when they do things that are wrong. Have you talked to them since maybe we shouldn't talk about this on the show? Have you talked to them since that video went up? No I mean, why would I there's nothing else to say? I already said everything I have to say. What are they going to say? Knowing this current crew I don't think that would make them run which is cool. I don't think so. I think that's cool genuinely cool I think that this because that's the thing right is like I respect that actually a lot That doesn't mean that you know, they're that they have ignored it They haven't heard what we've said. It just means that they're looking for a path forward and they're not going to let this Poison everything else that we could possibly work together on sounds good. Um And you know, I can understand that being a tough thing to be clear, but like That's the that's the you can't um You can't let relationships influence Uh Reviewing well, no, I mean that's that's the same what you gotta do It's the same reason that we will you know continue to cover apple even though they have never seated us a device or given us Even a briefing or answered a question Um, but we'll continue to cover them and I can absolutely not like their arrogance that they think that because they don't have an aligned worldview They don't need to answer your questions or engage with you. Mm-hmm That's totally valid But if they make a good product like, you know airpods pro to I absolutely love mine And I say nothing but good things about all the good things about them Then you just you have to separate that you have to separate sort of the corporate culture From the individuals who work there from the product those those things can all be Have they can all be very different and all of those differences can be very valid Uh, but you can't let them bleed into each other as best you can as best you can at least um So long story short Synology, um, hopefully you can go f*** yourself in the longer term Because it will be as simple as just picking up not overpriced hardware and installing uh investment disclosure hexos on it and I will never have to say your name again and uh, good luck with that And especially because you guys think it's cool to vendor lock hard drives on consumer systems, which On an enterprise system, I can at least kind of see it like if you have some like I don't know disc disc shelf like giant, you know uh Like rack based san system or something like that and the vendors basically like look we've only validated this particular firmware revision and and this these particular models and if you put something else in it Look your warranty is valid because that's all invalid because that's all that we validated I think there's at least an argument to be made there because The operation of that device that entire device Is covered by the service agreement that that vendor has with you. It's a totally different scenario So it is actually their problem if something goes wrong with it Totally get it For a consumer who's backing up their photos to a freaking hard drive. No, I'm afraid I don't get that I don't actually think that that's okay um All right, what what what what what what what what do we what else do you want to talk about this week mr. Loop? We only had one Main news topic. Should we talk about that one? We have more than one Pretty sure we have one They're kind of connected. They are not connected. They're a little bit connected. They're not connected at all It's not all bad. Yeah, is that not connected to the story above it being bad? No. Oh I There's just totally You pick whichever one you like mr. Luke. Let's do let's do the 50 61 Let's do it. So, um, this is now the Fifth there were sixth big GPU launch since you took over the lab There's been six so far in this quarter. So I think that's correct. Yeah And how did you feel it went? Let's talk let's talk about let's talk about sort of our process for evaluating product So I want two answers One is how do you think the kind of that because we did test the car We uploaded a ShortCircuit video looking at the 50 60 ti 16 gig. Are we talking about the how'd your team do? Oh, great. Yeah, I'm actually I'm very happy with the lab. I um It's been a It's been a weird journey. It's like I I've never I've I've I have a quite a few teams at this point. I've never taken over a team though Every team that I've had like everyone on all of my teams Other than the lab I hired them. Yeah, all of them. So like this was a very new experience um And there were some things that like I tripped on at the start because I'm just very not used to this my first time doing that all that kind of stuff getting used to New people getting used to new processes the lab does a lot of stuff Getting used to that trying to figure out like what the heck is even going on with different parts of it Um, I don't know if you remember but there was a thing that I completely shut down Which was like literally most of the work that they did within the first week of joining. Yeah Sure. Yeah, I um I I stepped in and one of the first things I did was I said that I said that I would have a meeting with every single person in the department A one-on-one with every single person in the department before I made any drastic decisions And then I got two one-on-ones in paused all of the remaining one-on-ones and did an extremely dramatic decision Which I don't think that was one of the trips actually. I think that was the right move And that was I figured out uh, like what percentage of time people were spending on different things And it was coming out from like almost everyone A huge percentage of it was ShortCircuit. Yeah, and ShortCircuit is cool But i'm looking at that ShortCircuit the cost and size of the lab And if you try to look at the the holistic cost of both the the equipment the space Uh, the salaries all that type of stuff and then you apply the percentage of that lab's time That was being spent on ShortCircuit and the math just is really not math in here Um bad mathing. So I was like, whoa, let's um Let's pause this if we can Which is to say that we're not going to do lab's testing on ShortCircuit We obviously just did we're already doing we did like 30 of them over the last quarter or something But we had a lot of workflow things to figure out. Yeah to smooth out that process Before we could do it and we're we're still working on those things like we're hiring testers right now We're in the I wouldn't I don't know if the post is still up If you're applying now, I mean, there's a chance, but it's probably too late But we're interviewing testers right now We're hiring three We just brought on way over do testing coordinator. Nice, which is going to be really nice as well Yep So that person's job is going to be you know to keep the tests flowing one one thing I said the the beginning what I want them working on is mostly communication Make sure people outside our department know what's going on make sure people inside our department Know what they're supposed to be doing know what's going on make sure that things are flowing properly all that kind of stuff In the longer run something that I want them working on is optimizing um like station efficiency and what I kind of mean by that is Um say we have some GPU embargo. Yeah, it doesn't mean that every other station should stay cold That's one of the ideas of having more testers as well Is even if the majority of the testers are all focused on one like crazy project There should still be enough extra testers that we can keep the other stations kind of moving and keep things pumping through the lab Um, but yeah, I I was like, okay, we're spending all this time doing this There's no free time to work on processors. No free time to do all this kind of stuff Let's pause for like two three months and really try to hammer this stuff out We rewrote a ton of process We redid a ton of different things and kind of got a better look of what we wanted in the future When I first started with the department, I was looking sometimes hours forward And then now at this point, I'm looking months year plus forward. Um, and there's some there's some cool plans Okay, now this was a good Oh, the the six GPUs was a fantastic push now. Let's talk about how things went Uh with the 50 60 50 60 ti from like an an overall execution outside of lab's standpoint You know what here, why don't I read through the notes on april 16th NVIDIA launched the 50 60 family which included the rtx 50 60 with eight gigs of RAM the rtx 50 60 ti with eight gigs of RAM and The rtx 50 60 ti with 16 gigs of RAM Even though these cards are out Um now Almost everywhere only lists the 50 60 ti 16 gig The other two models are expected to You know be physically present in the real world at some point But nobody seems to know when so we decided Not because the lab was not capable of doing the testing as as luke already mentioned The lab was fully capable of doing the testing In fact, they did some testing for our ShortCircuit video on the 50 60 ti 16 gig, uh, but we decided That because we didn't feel that this Situation was very consumer first that we were not going to do a review But instead did a rant style video about how this entire Launch felt not just the 60 class cards, but the 50 series in general From the perspective, uh from several perspectives from an NVIDIA partner perspective. We included a little bit of that From a press perspective and especially from a consumer perspective one thing that we did not really Include in the video because I couldn't say this factually for certain But one thing that we didn't include in the video is that my personal theory for why they rolled it out this way Is that they want customer confusion? I think that they want A heap of reviews on the the 50 60 ti 16 gig Right and because this is the first member of the family that anyone can get their hands on And they want those ones for you on the remaining to to be at the top of the search results and then I believe that NVIDIA had no intention whatsoever Of ceding the other cards in any kind of timely manner or maybe at all Basically just leaving it to their board partners or leaving it to media outlets to go and source them on their own in drips and drabs By which time there would be literally zero Remaining excitement around the 50 60 series because even the ti 16 gig was not exactly going to light anyone's world on fire in terms of the The the value proposition of it. That doesn't mean it's a bad card. It just means that it's not exciting anybody And I think that the benefit for NVIDIA of this kind of confusion and of this Of of having something with a very similar model name have all the views all of the seo All the algorithmic weight is that people would see An something affordable 50 60 50 60 ti 8 gig something Sort of within their budget on the shelf and go. Oh, okay, so 50 60 Like is that good and they'd end up with a review of the 50 60 16 gig that would look better than the thing that they're actually buying That is my theory. Is this counter to your theory from I think four wands ago. Where are you saying that reviewers don't matter anymore? um I think that Because I think that there is wrong. I think that NVIDIA thinks reviewers still matter But not enough to do this whole thing properly Or they think that reviewers can have an influence and I think that this was an effort to actively work against it So I think I think that is NVIDIA's intention whether it would work or not Got it. I think they wanted the perception of the 50 60 series to be set around the performance of the ti 16 gig And then they could deliver the lower price of the other ones and hopefully keep those things separated from each other Do you remember another time because I don't when NVIDIA launched a card with no embargo? Yes, uh, one of the titan cards they did it And I I outright refused to make content about it. I was like this is completely unacceptable And some people seem to get really confused. I went on a shadow band spree Anyone who said that our upset was because we're just like butthurt. We didn't get a free card Got permanently banned because that you're actually too stupid for me to listen to anything that you say ever again The value of a free card compared to like the average Daily expenses at this company is hilarious. It's actually trivial Dan laughing in the background. Um, it's that's just like clearly not The reason it matters the reason that we have review embargoes and we have Organization around the launch is so that it benefits everybody It's fair play and vidya has time to brief the press on their side of the story The press has time to verify that story and form their own thoughts and opinions rather important and then everyone goes live with their Equally equipped side of the story and the consumer gets the a balanced view that is that can be that that can be put together with time and care and attention and Will not be perfect launch reviews are never going to be perfect because over the Days and weeks and months and sometimes years after our launch. We're probably still going to be learning more about the product But at least it's a starting point and there's a huge benefit to consumers where they can go. Okay Everyone had a fair shot at this You know whose coverage do I like the best and they have a choice and they don't have to just pick one They can they can get a perspective from all of these different media outlets Which we suggest they do anyways is a healthy ecosystem. Yeah Providing a card on thursday afternoon or whatever it was. Was it wednesday afternoon or thursday afternoon? I feel like it was thursday, but I don't remember it doesn't matter the point is providing a card Over a weekend with a launch embargo Tuesday morning is a Not good for consumers because it means that everyone who's trying to get these videos out for embargo is going to have less time To validate NVIDIA's claims and b is just f***ing disrespectful It's just completely disrespectful and the truth is it's not me I'm not going to crunch over the weekend We have the benefit of being a large enough organization now that i'm not the one who actually sits there and and puts the cards onto the benches and and and makes the graphs And and puts everything on a timeline edits it No, that's going to be my team Utterly Yep Disrespectful And they do it. We've got passionate people, but of course we we don't want them to which is why In part we we didn't actually do the big LTT video for this card. Yeah Yeah, because it's just and and it's one of those things where it's like look Look if it was a one-time thing, right? And there was like a good reason If NVIDIA was basically like okay, no no no hold on hold on hold on hold on if NVIDIA was a way smaller company Okay, hold on. Let me put you a hypothetical. Okay, and this product Let's say okay. Let's say NVIDIA was more like a like a a big screen You know big screen that make the beyond vr headset. By the way, do you have an iphone? What uh, yeah I spent money for once and I need to do a face scan. Oh, oh you bought a big screen I might want to as well dude. It's been so sorry to derail. It's been so long since I've bought I my I'm still writing on the vibe And I I watched a bunch of content on the big screen beyond two and I couldn't get this thought on my head of like it's time It's really good. It's time. It's sick. So I'm stoked. So anyway, I'm very good Then let's say it was big screen sure in the past other than their software They've only ever had like one hardware product Okay, yep now they've got that and it sold my understanding is like pretty deez But like, you know pretty deez right still it's gonna be a niche product. Yeah niche product. Okay, so if big screen were to say, okay Here's the situation. We've got like Three cards or three cards. Sorry, excuse me. We've got like three headsets Um The bulk shipment lands like this day. We must launch it this day Um Otherwise we are like we are like out of cash We actually like we have payroll that day if we don't get pre-orders in you're gonna love this thing We are absolutely 100 the company will be gone. We are we're 100 certain you're gonna love this thing You've got like four days. Could you ask the team to work over a weekend? We are so confident that your independent unbiased Unbiased review is going to validate our claims that this thing is awesome. Um that we're you know Look, we're willing to work with people. I'll be like, okay. All right. It's not going to impact the coverage But yeah, I'll make sure people are here on the weekend We're going to try and hit this embargo because I think you guys are doing great things Everything that I've seen about the product seems really positive My experience with working with you is that you've been very honest in your assessments of the quality of the product And the way that you present it all of these things align Yeah, let's let's get everybody in on the weekend. I'll come in on the sunday night We'll get the film. We'll get it shot. We'll get an editor uh in an other time zone booked for like an overnight edit Then we'll have a look at it with one of our editors in house on monday morning. Let's get this thing done, you know No problem But that's not invidia no invidia had absolutely No reason whatsoever financially to To have this launch on that day Imagine luke if you will if invidia had delayed the launch of the 5060 series for Three weeks and given us Darn near a month to work on our review They would have launched the card and they would have all sold out From a financial standpoint, there is no reason whatsoever that it had to launch that day. In fact, two of the three cards were not available at all And my understanding is that another media I don't want to name them not because I don't want to name them but because You know, I'm not sure if it was them Um, you look it up Did what? Okay, well, I heard through the grapevine. I have not verified this that someone said that Add-in board partners were explicitly told not to seed the other cards even if they like did have samples. Oh I can't remember who it was though. I think it was Okay, I'm gonna say it then I'm gonna say I think it was hardware unboxed But I'm not sure but I'm not a hundred percent sure so please do not quote me on that Anyway, the point is that NVIDIA clearly had absolutely No, yeah, Elijah says that's right. Yeah, okay. Okay. NVIDIA clearly has no sales incentive whatsoever Not only that but they are actively ensuring that we cannot test these cards Well, what how can I possibly assume anything other than bad faith Bad intentions when you are actively working to keep information about these cards out of concern. It's not like this isn't a pattern As much as I praised them earlier for like, uh, you know, if we can criticize them in that video and they will still work with us That's that's very heads up. That's cool. Um That being said, this is a rather egregious pattern. I don't think that there has been Oh, wait, Elijah says I don't know if hardware unbox said that we heard directly from board partners. Okay Uh, hathos says that was hub though. So maybe they heard the same thing. So take that for what it is take that for what it is I'm really not sure. Um But I at least since the 1000 series Hub apparently said it as well. Okay. I I feel like before then but at least from the 1000 series I haven't seen an NVIDIA launch that didn't have just like egregious falsehoods in the announcement I've seen some Since 1000 series. Yeah, well what? Yeah, I mean I as much as people ragged on them about it I don't think 3090 was particularly misrepresented. They said it was 8k capable with dlss help and it was Did they compare it to other generation that I got to look this up now? I don't remember but it was it was like very powerful compared to other generations So there was no reason for them to to fudge it. I mean they've had 1000 series was really good, too Yeah, that's true that Yeah, that's I don't know how much it matters. Yeah, that's probably true. Um Overall, I think the 30 series was a pretty Was a pretty honest launch and they seemed to be competing hard. They seemed focused Because they had the new console generation and they seemed very focused on beating it with laser precision And other than that. No, I actually I I do agree with you. Yeah, okay But yeah, it's like that that I don't know it's just but let's come back Maybe there's other reasons. Maybe it's not financial, right? Like what are the other reasons that NVIDIA could have for Forcing this launch on this day Um other than financial, uh, maybe uh, maybe an image reason Maybe they promised that these cards, uh, would launch on that day Well, then they failed that anyway because you can't buy them anyway And you can't you can't even review them. You see, okay. So so what what other what other possible reason Could motivate a company to Does someone internally have like a kpi that they have to launch The cards in in this quarter. Well, there's plenty of time left in this quarter Like what is the I'm trying to understand what reason there could possibly be to give us Four or five days or whatever it was two of which being a weekend To review these cards Other than just trying to hide information from consumers and out of a complete lack of respect for partners Those are the only two reasons that I can come up with Or just completely not f***ing caring. Okay, so there's a third reason That's it. That's all I got. So it's really hard. Um, it's really hard for me to say anything other than That's not okay. Um, that's that's not gonna fly Um, and I've seen okay another another bad take but not a bannable take Another bad take is okay. You guys just shouldn't you should never talk about NVIDIA again You should never review an NVIDIA card. We absolutely still should they have like 80 market share in the discrete GPU space We have to we have to review things that people are going to buy anyway so that we can make sure that If they want to know what's going on that we can give them the what's up Like we're not just going to outright stop reviewing their products and as I mentioned in that video We're not even going to stop working with NVIDIA We are going to work with NVIDIA because at the end of the day they're overpriced and I think they have a terrible attitude But the products are mostly good Like how many of you have an NVIDIA GPU that you're really happy with I bet a lot of you do All right, then so we're gonna happy with mine. So we're gonna have to we're gonna have to work with these guys We're gonna have to work with these guys But it's that doesn't mean that just because we're gonna work with them that we're not going to call them out when they do something That's unacceptable All right, what else was there in here there's some silver line. Oh, yes, okay So we decided not to post a review so we still have unboxings And we will do those for the other cards once they land You can also head to lttlabs.com We'll have a full list of benchmarks for these cards once they are ready Any big updates on the Labs website lately or not really? Not since the ones that we posted last I think psu circuits been doing great. Yeah channels been getting more views and stuff That's that's pretty cool Yeah, okay, so yeah, there's definitely there's some new articles and stuff We've got a review of the rm 1000 x up there We're planning an article right now based on that email that lucas sent you Which is a thing that we've been talking about doing for a while Which is we want to take the whole build-in-public model and apply it to the lab a little bit so There's there's a couple ways that this will be showing its its face soon one of them is We're we're planning so I don't want to I don't want to Leak it we'll probably be talking about it next week's way and show But I want it to be lucas's words because it's it's his stuff not mine But we're planning some potential changes to powers by testing. That's all I will say now But those details and the changes that will be happening are going to be talked about in a Labs article And then there will likely be a forum post accompanying it so that people can give feedback I love it and we're going to be saying like hey, this is the situation that we're dealing with This is the plan that we are planning on implementing. Let us know But let us know I want to do so much more of that dude. I was disheartened to find out that the acoustic chamber's done Because I didn't know oh and we didn't like make a video about it. Well, we're writing an article about it We're going to be like we're going to be writing an article pictures of it being worked on like there wasn't a lot We just glued panels. Well. Yeah, but it made a big difference. Did it not it did okay But there's gonna be an article Fine good, but like I would have liked to make a video about it So this this was part keeping all the cool stuff for his website While my videos languish while I'm making videos about fire trucks. I'm so desperate You can No, you can't spray the sound chamber. Sorry Maybe the rf chamber there after can't chamber could probably take getting sprayed It's metal Okay, the outside of it. Why would we do that? I don't know fire truck videos. Whatever. Um, but yeah there's going to be an article on the sound chamber stuff and there might Be a ShortCircuit maybe and the ShortCircuit would feature what we're calling Labs experimental graphs So the graphs will indicate that these are tests under construction effectively. Um, so it's a way for us to Try to do stuff and put stuff out there that we're pretty confident in But we're still kind of evaluating a little bit So there will be an article talking about the current state of our sound testing Uh, and there will be a a ShortCircuit video coming out with some of that sound testing in it The article will explain what we're doing how we're doing it and we'll collect feedback And then the video will show experimental graphs and we can get some input on like What the graphs show can people understand what we're trying to convey with the graph that type of stuff Yeah, it's coming along things are happening. It'll be good Uh, all right. Hold on. Sorry. I'm just uh, but again, we'll probably talk about that more probably on when when those articles are actually Posted up. So I don't want to talk too much about it right now. All right. So 40 60 ti 16 gig There are some silver linings according to hardware unboxed and our numbers. Sorry. Yeah, thank you It appears to range from 10 to 20 faster than the 40 60 ti in both 1080p and 1440p while being $70 cheaper than last gen at msrp The issue is whether you can get it at that price the good news though the even better gooder news is that There is another card that you can buy for 1080p and even light 1440p gaming that appears to be getting Much more affordable Even though one user user posted on r slash Intel ark who was upset about not being able to find stock Several people in the comments said they are getting them no problem with minimal markup over msrp So our notes here say Da da da da da da go shopping For a b580. So here let's uh Let's take uh, let's take my let's take my laptop for a little spin Intel b580. No statement Don't Stop it. Okay. Intel b580. How are we doing here? What do you think luke? Here before don't don't look don't look At the screen don't look at the screen. Okay. What do you think? Do you think b580 will be in stock? uh no No, okay go with no if it's in stock. Okay, let's create a branching. Yeah situation here if it's in stock Bearing in mind that it's MSRP like Intel's MSRP price for a base card is 250 US dollars What do you think the price will be 350 350? Okay, let's go shopping Okay, well the gunner is in stock and is 379 but This onyx is 329 this one is 319 last time I looked there was no stock So this is kind of cool that there is actually stock in stock 19 is really good I don't know who the crap onyx is media But their Odyssey arc 12 gig card is 320. What's smoking? Okay, so hold on a second It's on sale to a sir a sir nitro add to cart 319 He's looking cooler Intel until it. Oh, hold on. What is this? See price and cut 395 get get real Okay, what else we got here what else we got here Okay, this one's out of stock this one for 260 is out of stock. Okay, but hold on a second Hold on a second. Hear me out here Because this is where things get crazy apparently Intel arc is still experiencing some shortages in the US but in other markets Apparently it has it has chilled out a lot and That appears to be very true Check this out Intel arc limited edition 359 that's cad that is Canadian dollars. Hold on a second here Dude, I looked like two weeks ago and they're out of stock everywhere See what there the stock is at the individual hold on hold on hold on hold on cat to USD That is ten dollars over MSRP which in Normal times still over MSRP would not be that exciting to me. Yeah, but in the ten now in the ten now times Is actually quite exciting? Let's go ahead and check They have one in Edmonton West. They have one in Victoria. Okay, not a ton of stock not a ton of stock Okay, so they're they're not out of stock now, but there's like almost none. But can I order it online? Added one to your cart. I Can order this in Canada right now for two hundred and sixty US dollars and That is pretty good is a lot of gaming card for two hundred and sixty US dollars. Yeah, so I believe I Inventory coming in of these Intel arc cards Even if it's not enough to satisfy the appetite of the US market, which apparently is Experiencing a surge in retail shopping right now So the timing could be part of it Intel might have allocated enough B580 to the US Only to realize too late that US shoppers are Hoovering up consumer products right now in anticipation that pricing could go up due to the tariff situation And I've been experiencing that first hand on LTT Store. So reminder We have extended the Shipstorm sale event worldwide free shipping on orders over 150 dollars to help our American friends down there Get anything that they need before Whatever impacts Ultimately affect us from the tariffs as well as toes, you know say hey buddy Hope you and the rest of the world love to have products from LTT Store.com So shipstorm sale event still ongoing and has been strong crazy strong has been has been crazy. So I am Optimistic for Intel arc, it's like Okay, new CEO with his name lip butan. I think something like that. It doesn't matter the point is if you're watching right now If you happen to be watching if anyone if anyone, you know, you've got you got the Intel CEO and your DMs, okay You clip this. Okay, you clip this you send them Please Don't give up on arc desktop. Yeah Gamers need you the gaming market needs you. Okay, it might be too late It might be too late to bring back the higher-end battle mage Discrete GPUs. It is not too late for Celestial. Okay Yeah, do it do the full line up for Celestial because that team that team has been working so hard Okay, dude, dude the fact the fact that in a few short years they have gone from Intel HD graphics essentially, you know in terms of the drive great competitor to a legitimate Discrete competitor. I know the margins aren't great right now We know that for our fact because we know the die sizes. Okay, and we know what process. It's built on it's built at TSMC So they are they're under the same cost pressure that AMD or NVIDIA are on these arc GPUs I can understand why they might not be that incentivized to build a ton of them But but they're on to something they're on to something. This is this is good. This is important This is a billion dollar industry that as far as I can tell NVIDIA is completely not paying attention to right now They they have they are they are on complete autopilot Do it I want to show one more thing for the lab site before because I Forgot that I could show this hold on one more thing Steven J says Linus memory express also has a bunch of B580 challengers on their site for 409 CAD which is About 35 or 40 US dollars over MSRP, but that's like an OC card. Yeah, so that's not even it's probably gonna be over MSRP Not even ridiculous. Yeah, I see them. I see them. I see them here here here here here So here's they have these challengers as well as rock challenger OC nice. Yeah They have more stock. Oh, dude, they got tons of these. Let's go ten plus it like every store I could I could literally go to the Langley store Walk in and buy one right now For here 409, but that's such a normal sounding thing You can't because it's closed because it's a holiday So for 40 for $46 over MSRP I could have a challenger OC card when they open tomorrow. Yeah Speaking of things being not the right prices remember, I think it was two weeks ago We talked about the bring your own price feature for the Labs website. Yes This is not This is not This is not ready yet. This was a hackathon project So Liam the same person who championed it internally originally he mentioned I think he got it from a comment somewhere or something But he was one that brought it up in the meeting he then chose this as his hackathon project And made a version of it now before you're like, oh, I don't like how this thing or that thing works It was a hackathon project. Leave it alone. It's it has not gone through UX UI any that kind of stuff But this is so you can see add prices as a button here. It's 15 seconds. So just prepping you a little bit You've got these cards. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay, okay Okay, you can plug in your own prices for the cards. Oh, buddy. Oh, buddy Oh, buddy close it and then the graph updates And it works hackathon project functionally you can disable or enable price per frame we were kind of thinking that Dan brought this up Dan Siegel on the team. That's pretty was thinking that that should probably just add a line So it should show all the previous data, but add a line so you can still see the other things I think that's a pretty neat idea the modal could look better Whatever that those none of that it's a hackathon. Nobody cared That's pretty cool. Okay, pretty can I not probably number one. It's not coming soon. Go away. Can I propose? Maybe a fundamental problem Sure, I know I know this is a big. Oh, not really. We have lots of other stuff to work on good Okay, cuz and this is I think this is gonna be somewhat controversial because I think a lot of the audience is gonna disagree with me on this Okay, but oh boy, how do I say this without? without causing a stir I Felt that that was an accurate way to assess FPS per dollar and price to performance until I thought about it more. I Think you need to think about it more because this was something that kind of blew my mind When I was when I was trying to wrap my brain around and this would have been way back in the day Okay, I believe the card that we were discussing was Was it it might have been the 8800 ultra do you remember the 8800 ultra it was the 8800 GTX with a different plastic shroud on it And it was like overclocked 10% or something and it was like $300 more or something like that those numbers might be a little bit wrong but the fundamental the fundamentals are right that it was the same GPU on the same PCB with Functionally the same cooler, but a cooler shroud for hundreds of dollars more. Okay 8800 ultra and I I was working on our PC like configurator and I was like adamantly opposed to a card like that I was like, this is actually stupid and all you got to do is get MSI afterburner and turn it up 10% Which every 8800 GTX will do so why does anyone care about this at all? We shouldn't even we shouldn't even stock it was pretty much my perspective on it I was like, this is the stupidest thing ever. No one should buy it. Okay. Okay But hear me out While the FPS per dollar of an 8800 ultra and an 8800 GTX if you look at it this way a $1,000 versus $700 and this one gets 10% more performance for what would it work out to a 40% more price? Basically, it's a stupid thing for completely stupid people But and this was explained to me in a way that I kind of was combative Against and didn't understand for a while until it finally clicked Well, the math is actually that math is actually completely flawed because most people are buying a computer system and In the context of you hold on hold on no no trust me trust me in the context of your entire computer system That costs $3,000 Spending another $300 to have 10% more performance could actually make perfect sense Okay, so for that reason I think we actually need to consider The cost of the system when we do these calculations Because otherwise I think that we are because the cost of that FPS is not just the GPU That is not actually accurate unless you're doing an upgrade if you are doing an upgrade it kind of is But that comparison would realistically Like you still paid for that system though I don't think just because you do the math one time that you can't consider anything else in the scenario Anything else in the scenario like I of course you have to consider your total system cost and the Impact of that difference on the total system cost might be x percentage of the total system cost that you're expending But that I don't think that makes the the frame for dollar equation irrelevant. I think it I think it makes it It's it's more drastic than it. Yes, but I think that's up for the user to understand But I could help communicate I don't think a lot of them do and that's the challenges every time I bring up this argument I have people kind of Again, I'm sorry not understanding it because they seem to be something we can solve by communicating to the users I don't know we say on there like Make sure that you consider What if we what if we suggested that people put in the total system cost? I think that would be fine because my my issue is the in its current form It feels like a graph that doesn't start at zero. You like to zoomed in. Yeah That's the best. I think that's the most succinct way of explaining what I'm trying to What I'm the point I'm trying to make here. No, I think your point is super valid I just I think there. I don't think that means don't build it in my opinion. Oh Yeah, like change how you communicate it or something we need to we need to fundamentally Think about how we are presenting this information to make sure that people aren't getting the wrong impression Yeah, that's super fair. I think I think like let me see here. I'm gonna bring it back up I bet you you could almost solve it by like just to that can you see my mouse just to the left of this box? You could put like total system cost with this card or make it more simple than that Yeah, like inform them of what to put in the box. Yeah, you could maybe even have examples or something I don't know we could do a little bloggy post explaining how people will do it But then you know that'll be buried two years after it's posted and no one will see it But we can like try to help guide people as much as we can but I yeah, I don't think I don't think that means We should still build the feature. Yeah, but I understand. Yeah, and I think that's a good point Hathos has a really great example in the Floatplane chat that uses real math. Sure. My recent build was seven thousand dollars Of that. We don't know what currency they're talking. So I don't know but probably a lot But the GPU was thirty five hundred dollars Had I gone with a 90 70 XT? I would have 63% of the gaming performance. I have today at 58% of the cost so oddly enough Linus's argument works. Yeah, no It definitely works. I don't think it's odd even it just definitely. Yeah, but it's like but that's okay So I kind of defaulted just that being something that people would consider when they're looking at this stuff But I understand the argument that they won't so okay and the challenge with upgrade To people is that I think that it still applies just especially at the high end The numbers are gonna be kind of skewed. Yeah, because if you aren't building a new system You weren't actually getting all of that performance Because you're bound to be bottlenecked by the rest of your system. This is where I was kind of okay So fair enough, but this is kind of where I was thinking like I was hoping people were understanding the whole equation as well Because if you're upgrading you're probably flipping your GPU to probably now It's really the price is really the Delta. Yes, so it's like but I so I want people to but how do we do this without it being like Like a macro laden excel sheet that you like punch An article you have to read like I want to be like a user manual like a PDF you download before you interact Use your user manual for your five text boxes You have to scroll the way through the page and certify that you have read the user manual before you interact with this page, right? Like I just want to make sure That we are considering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a good. That's all good the different ways of doing the math here Because I want this to be a really useful tool and I don't want anyone to go. Oh, yeah Well, okay, man What would be an example of like where they would accidentally spend too much? Probably that wouldn't happen because I think it mostly it damages the value proposition of the higher end stuff It would generally skew down But I'd hate for people to like that example in the in the chat I'd hate for people to spend a thousand dollars on their computer and then buy the thing for a hundred bucks That performs, you know, oh man, how do I how do I explain this? Whatever the point is at a certain point if you're spending enough on the rest of your system There's better value to be had by actually spending a little bit But a lot more on your GPU like you could you could get a better value spending double on your GPU $200 versus $100 For a GPU that performs only 20% better because now your budget is $1,200 and is 20% better versus about versus $1,100 and it's 20% less or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, 20% less depends on your tasking, right? Like if you're doing something that's super super CPU heavy that might not be true But then it's true for the CPU instead It kind of depends on the thing that you're focusing on We'll figure it out guys. We're gonna figure it out. Yeah, there has to be some way There has to be a way to to present this information and make sure that we don't we don't bamboozle We don't bamboozle everyone into buying a B580 Yeah, there that's the point. I'm trying to get to if you're spending $500 on your base platform you buy a B580, right? But if you're spending $2,000 on your platform and you're buying a B580 It's the best bang for the buck doing something wrong It's the best bang for the buck in a vacuum against other GPUs But in the context of that $2,000 system It is not the best bang for the buck and you are leaving a ton of performance and a ton of wasted budget on those other things Completely on the table regardless of whether you're buying them today or you bought them already. It's not a good balance I want to help people find a balanced Configuration yeah, like we're gonna be talking about this at the all-hands so a little bit of a spoiler, but like one of the Things that the Labs website wants to work on over the next who knows how long is Trying to help get people to final decision more so right now. It's a really good info dump page for nerds Yes, but it doesn't really help you which is great Yeah, but it doesn't really help you get to a final decision It can refine you down a little bit Yeah, maybe if you use the comparison page properly and stuff it can help get you sort of there But it doesn't really drive you to a final decision And there's there's a number of things that we can do better and do more of do differently whatever that can help get us there There's a ton really one of them is these types of things So we want to we want to do more of it someone mentioned a unique username said maybe also consider power consumption if you want to over complicate it I think that's a different chart. Oh, yeah, that is something that we could do Total cost of ownership analysis and like yeah try to integrate You know on the on the top x-axis like the acoustics and like we're gonna end up with a chart nobody can read Yeah, I think it's already gonna be complicated when we try to work in this messaging around total system cost But it is something that I would like I would like to see us integrate I really I think there's I think there's ways to do it Like I think there's even things that we could do where like if you put it is the wizard version There could maybe be a wizard version. That's more depth In the graph graph version It could basically be that and we expect people to kind of figure it out on their own or they could have an input field for whatever But in the wizard version you basically just go hey, here's my system or like here's here's how much my system cost Recommend here's my config and how much I paid for it Recommend the best bang for the buck GPU upgrade because then we have all the information We know what kind of budget you're shopping in and we can just be like yeah, this may be surprising, but you actually Are best off with a RTX 5090 because anything else would be sort of leaving a ton of performance on the system Yeah, yeah, it's like go to the beach in in dress shoes. I drank like three of these today. I'll be right back. You're watching me It was something we could do as you're getting up and walking is make it so that if you this might be really really annoying But we could make it so that there's general expectations for prices for GPUs And if you put that in instead of a system it could put a little warning triangle and the warning triangle would link you to the article explaining why he understands now, but It could link you to the article explaining why you should probably put in your system cost But then it's up to the user right the user could just choose to ignore it. Where's the this way nice the user could just choose to ignore it and then just look at the GPU in a vacuum because that will still be interesting for people That is still a useful and interesting number. It's just could be misleading when you're looking to buy a whole computer So Yeah, I don't know There's a variety of ways that we do it Some of them are very annoying on the dev team like the one that I just mentioned So I don't know the dev team and anyone doing data entry So I don't know if we necessarily actually want to do that because it's super tedious But there's probably a variety of other ways of doing it as well. So We'll figure it out But yeah, there's there's there's a ton of things that we can do with the Labs website. We're planning on We're planning a lot of stuff I probably should stop talking to be completely honest because every every time I talk about potential future features for For anything all that anyone Talks about in just drop the potential in chat. Yeah, yeah, they completely drop the potential They assume it is the number one priority thing that we're working on now when like in reality a lot of the Tasking for high priority stuff for the lab right now is like working on better graphing tools for the local team and improving some of the data entry stuff that local team has to do in order to get articles up and Doing some revisions to some of the product pages that we currently have like introducing New graphs to the power supply verticals doing some revamping stuff Maybe the keyboard and mouse because I haven't been touched in a long time things like that Not not the like sexy new feature development stuff, so You know, but it's it's coming. It'll happen in summary buy an Intel Arc B580 In every scenario in every scenario because it's always always the best bang for the buck. Yeah Yes, I washed here nice yeah, or it's P one of the two one of the two or both I could have watched poorly That's possible. I mean, I guess It could have been more than just water and pee at least three actually that would have taken longer That while you're walking I Didn't know for sure that the building was empty It's even more reason to I don't need I don't need this is your building line is look I Have gone home. We talked about this It's after hours. I have enough scandals when I like didn't actually do anything. I Don't need to actually expose myself in the office. Oh Man, all right. What are we supposed to be doing? Let's explain the merge messages Ah, yes merge messages. Well, I can see that quite a few of you have figured them out already Oh, how are your fingers doing there, Dan? Pretty good. It's not quite as Bad as last week. Well, I haven't reminded the people that there's free shipping on lttstore.com now It's gonna be as bad as I'm sorry free shipping on lttstore.com on all orders over $150 that is worldwide. We are extending the deadline It is now until Tuesday April 22 at 10 a.m. Pacific time This is largely because the team has been doing an incredible job getting orders out and we are Less concerned that those orders are not going to make it over the border before May 2nd Which is when According to the current guidance a bunch more tariff stuff is supposed to kick in or something like that So we've got a bit more time to take in orders that we will that we will be able to get over before any tariffs will Impact the costs on them So now is a better time than ever to check out the MCM essential solution Which is running at just $80. We also have our magnetic cable management starter kit Which is just to give you guys kind of a taste you can check it out You get a power bar key so that is for those little like keyhole things you put it in there You screw it on and they're also great for holding up anything that uses a quarter 20 mount So it's threaded for that so I could like you could like mount a you know camera with it Yeah, nice strong magnet the base just unscrews and then it's like a circle with a yeah Super super handy cable tie holder medium and small arches and with a bunch of the different grip plates So you can get an idea of exactly what it is that you that you that you would want Great time to pick up a commuter backpack This has been one of the top movers and of course there's all the classics right northern lights desk pad available in any size you want We've got the great Configurator on there so that you can see how it's gonna look on your desk depending on the width that you have what kind of desk pad You want move it around you can add a Monitor we still have that right. Oh, yeah, there is show peripherals You can kind of see what it's gonna look like but but but but but but but that is a fantastic little tool The team whipped up the og backpack. It's been surprising to me. I thought the commuter backpack was gonna cannibalize it Were you talking about the desk configurator? Yeah, those just Conrad. Oh great job Conrad So the og backpack I thought the commuter was gonna cannibalize it. It has actually caused the og backpack to Go up in sales Kind of makes sense to me actually I Would have originally assumed the same as you did but I get Why I think Why I don't because if you here if you see a review because there's some people that have covered it and you know The people will talk about it what not about this good backpack You might look into it and then go hmm. I wanted a bigger one and then go oh the same company made a bigger one It looks great. I'll get that one, right? I guess we've kind of gotten we've gone beyond just our audience at this point So that didn't really I sometimes it's hard for me to wrap my brain around that that is a bit of a newer thing. Yeah, yeah Like oh, this is this is pretty wild We have a big shipment of blank shirts coming because which is good because a lot of them are stuck Including tall and I think the tall is like I think we pushed that one out of stock too Our business team has apparently been getting a ton of inquiries from just like random people who work at random companies that are like Yeah, well, they want the blanks your blanks are like way better than like what all of our corporate apparel Let's go. We have not found a better balance. So like do you guys do that? And we're like no, but I mean First time for everything. Yeah, it was a good. It was a good week or so lots more coming Three days. Are there gonna be anything other than just black because I'm only gonna have black shirts I tried one on the other week I might have been might have been yesterday. Oh, he's a day before coach potato. Yeah, they didn't give it to me Oh, all right, because there aren't any in stock There's a different color of a t-shirt Okay, we're working on it. Okay. I'm stoked. Anyway, the point is you can also pick up a scribe driver Spoiler precision multi bit is one of the ones that is almost guaranteed to go up in price If the tariffs do get implemented the way that we currently anticipate that they will So now would be a really good time to pick up a precision Anyway, where was I going with that? Right? So if you want to send a merch message All you got to do is add some items to your cart and You will see the merch message box You go ahead and leave a message and it will go to producer Dan who will Respond to it or curate it for me and Luke by the way, and when you're in the cart, don't forget the bonus bin You can get stickers cool Dan do you want to show us how merch messages work by reading out a couple curated ones? Yeah, sure I wasn't sure if you covered this at the top of the show, but I got this one very easily Linus the incoming is blowing up now. I know Linus Do you think NVIDIA will ever increase the stock of like dozen series GPUs to meet demand or do we all just give up? Hope until the next series so I don't know how much truth there is to this But I read an article that someone wrote somewhere for some publication I forget who it was and I forget what site it was so I don't know how credible it was but what I read was that their Blackwell data center GPUs have not been particularly well received and some of their customers that had bought into Blackwell heavily Before NVIDIA was shipping it have been Disappointed by the power and cooling requirements and general buggy-ness and have actually been preferring to fall back to hopper based systems What that would indicate to me if true and this was speculation Speculation from that article, so I'm not going to take credit for it But what that could mean is that NVIDIA might be incentivized to push some of their their wafer bookings For Blackwell to consumer GPUs rather than their more lucrative AI Enterprise and data center GPUs interesting if that is the case and this was this was weeks ago So if that is the case then sometime in the now a few weeks We could potentially see a dramatic loosening of supply for 50 series and it does appear that it's kind of happening already Not in the US so much again just like with Intel Arc It seems like the US is a little late to catch up which I think they're not really used to like I think other countries are like super used to You know an MSRP being announced and availability being announced and them being like okay. Well, I guess Some months from now. We'll get it for some dollars get it for some amount of dollars But I think there's just so much pent up GPU demand in the US from just years of drought that It's just hoovering up anything that anyone can ship into it. So So things are do seem to be loosening up a little bit on 50 series But I think there's a lot more work for NVIDIA to do to help to stabilize pricing at somewhere near MSRP and I if They are they are not selling through as much of their their Blackwell data center GPUs as they would hope I would it would Certainly be in their best interest to use those wafers to make desktop GPUs rather than just I don't know try to renege on their contract or whatever Like they're still selling desktop GPUs profitably. It's just not as profitable, right Now how about some announcements? Oh, are we doing one merge message? Well, we're doing a new method. We're doing a new method. Just read the Just read the thing. Okay, so just the CW. What is it? Go fuck yourself San Diego. Is that just just read the thing read the line Bart? Cowabunga, sorry. Well, no, I didn't do it. I think that's what it was. I think it's I didn't do it Okay, sorry, what am I supposed to be reading? But just the CW one. Where is it? A segue to this. Oh, but I just did that Okay, did you? Yeah, I think so you have until Tuesday to get LTD store over 150 the magnetic cable management Yeah, I talked through it. Okay, cool. I go to LTD store comm and make sure that you use this opportunity to get I think you did do this. I did it. All right. Okay. Hi, Luke. Then it's two merge messages. I went it to become two Well, wait, what's the Floatplane announcement? Well comes after a merchant. I didn't agree to any of this I don't know what's happening. They changed on us. Oh, oh, there's a whole it could be one merge message up here. Oh I see this could be one. Well, we'll do to but I thought we'd give people a long There's like an agenda now. Yeah. Well, that's so professional in a document and everything there was before but now It's different. None of us read it apparently for like a long time. I mean, yeah, why would I exactly? Cuz I write them for me And then I don't read them anymore because they're for my reference like man We're all gonna gloss over this during the show Yeah, I thought it was just like a checklist for the preparation of the doc to like make sure that we kind of knew What we're gonna be talking about. I didn't think it was for the actual hosts I told them that we will also never read it in the future. So they just need to tell us when there's a change Yeah, yeah, tell me and then I tell you you guys don't even have to worry about it literally ever Yeah, let's do that. Sure. Yeah, cuz realistically Dan's gonna be here because if he wasn't here He would end the streak and there's no way he's gonna allow that to happen. Look at this guy. Look at this man. He's cold He's calculating. He's Cryptic he's Commanding that one doesn't start with a K. Okay Now we do another merge message because now we're immediately out of order. It's all gone wrong. Yeah Hit me Dan. Oh world class. Hi Luke Do you often talk you often talk about gaming or dopamine addiction and the harm it does have you read? Dopamine nation or anxious generation your hunches and references line up well with the research. Oh Wow, that's good to know. I haven't read either I've heard of both of those but I haven't read either of them But I'm happy that I'm not so far off. I in to be honest. I think it's pretty obvious I suspect most people know they just don't do anything about it I suspect you overestimate the capacity of most people All right, fair enough That might be true George Carlin's famous bit think about the averageest person, you know The really interesting research is how dramatically people overestimate where they fall on an IQ bell curve How like dramatically over half of people will think that they are above 100 points when actually that is Not possible because that's literally not how that scale works at all It's pretty it's pretty interesting. Well, the thing is you have to be You have to be smart to know that you're not that smart You know something is interesting to me and this is not exactly in line with what you were saying but something that's interesting to me is the like If you're like, I'm in the 75th percentile for performance band at this thing Mm-hmm compared to someone in the 99th percentile you are absolute suck Yeah, but someone who's in the like 99.7 Versus someone who's 99.0 The 99.0 person probably kind of sucks compared to the point seven like the final little bit is Insane, yeah, like it's it's how much better Connor Mcdavid is Yeah, and even someone who is better than you know, it's a one in 100,000 hockey player. Yep, like it's not close. Yeah, like to the point where he could toy with them Yeah, like it's it's why it does on a regular basis. Yeah, that's hockey player in the world. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's yeah Anyways, it's scrappy Dp says Ovechkin. So Hear me out Super Mario More more goals per game Fighting back injury literally recovering from cancer way more goals per playoff game. He played in the deadpuck era Super Mario Way more dynamic player way more assist second only to Gretzky Actually, my favorite my favorite hockey player not even close pretty based not even close But yeah, I don't know my line that I'll say again is you are constantly at war You're at war with many many many billion dollar companies that are fighting for your brain and they want you to suck Yeah, it's your job to not suck Went from not playing for four years Literally sipping coolers needing potato chips to acquiring the franchise that he played for put on his skates Put up numbers. I Didn't know he owned the team while he played for it Super Mario Literally came out of retirement To like help the team that he had acquired that's dope. The guy is actually an absolute Chad Also, I can never find the bloody clip of it Is that that he got a back injury moving his couch right and then he went to the game like right after is that I don't remember I don't know that about him. That might be true but the There's a there's that there's this like 4,000 IQ clip of him Where he doesn't actually score or get an assist and I've never been able to find it again But it just about made my jaw hit my keyboard when I saw it It's unfortunately not an NHL clip So I've had a really hard time tracking out tracking down where it was from But basically he's he's he's rushing to the crease and his right winger passes and Lemieux Picks up his stick looks at nothing looks at nobody picks up his stick so that the puck will go through him and His left winger bangs it into a completely empty cage because he just had 4,000 IQ knew where absolutely everybody was on the ice and made that happen without even touching the puck. It's Crazy, that's so sick. Also, you're wrong the rest of the world play cares plenty about hockey They just don't know it yet and to do And to do that while knowing that you will get no credit. Oh, yeah is so sick dude So cool. That's dope. So cool Yeah, if anyone if anyone can remember and like find the clip on talking about I would I would be so I would be so pleased So when a chat I already lost it but somebody chat said we need I found it Hathos said we need a good hockey anime I totally agree the closest thing we have to it is Shorzy, there's a parent. Oh Shorzy is an anime. I need this There's a pretty good bad thing to an anime apparently, but I haven't watched it yet. I've been meaning to Never really gotten into anime, but apparently it's apparently it's pretty solid back when I was my chat Craft right when I asked them to find a clip for me Luke. They didn't dang it. Oh, they didn't find it They just someone just linked one. Oh, then mine's frozen and it's real These people are awful bamboozled. Well, you know, you love them. Yeah. Oh Was it the 2002 Olympics, this is between the legs assist which doesn't sound like what you described Oh, no, hold on. Maybe yeah, maybe I had it wrong. Hold on. Can I can I watch that? Okay, hold on this might be this might be the one maybe here No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, definitely not that right that makes sense. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Let me see it Let me see it This might not be it because it was like crappy or grainy or footage Hold on where's the slow version of this and this game is too fast Okay, blah blah blah crowd reacts. Okay, here's the here's the slow version. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on No, that's not it. Yeah, it didn't it's good. That's not it. No, it's a this this is great. Oh Okay, okay, you know what we're gonna take a risk we're gonna take a risk you can't see it unless you're at that angle You're gonna take a risk. This is this is the this is it. This is the 4,000 Angle to see this that's crazy. This is insane Okay, so here we go. Here we go. It's a little bit as possible. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna play Puck is pointed out. That's not just a random dot. Here's the puck. Yeah. Okay. Hold on Okay, so yeah, here we go. Here we go. This is the right winger with the puck Why does space not play on this website because you have the that's selected. All right. All right. All right. All right Okay, okay, check this out 4,000 IQ What it looks it looks so basic, but it's so sick. Are you kidding me right now? That's so sick. Are you kidding me? That's fantastic that No one no one before you described it is like You're not even wrong, but you're like it's not an NHL game like what you're like downplaying the game is the Olympics NHL games so it was hard for me to find it What tournament it was from I thought you're trying to say like it was just like a for fun like random who cares You didn't I thought so yeah, no this dude that like oh man that what dude that was oh that was That's insane. It's beautiful. Just like this like give him the assist. I'm not sure. I'm not sure he definitely Assisted he deserves it. Yeah Lethal bacon says man. It was an okay shot. He didn't take the shot. That's the point. Yeah, he like he like Pretended doesn't even look up. Just Just pretends that he's doing it so completely open cage. Love it. Absolutely love it And to be clear, there's a lot of modern players that are making moves that just blow the mind I watched a clip the other day where The guy what was going on he had a defender on him and he puts his stick out and Blade goes flat against the ice. He makes a ramp and the puck comes up and ramps off his stick and goes over the defender stick and goes to his teammate He didn't like it looks insane to watch. It's full speed. Everything just Players are so good these days. Huh? Super Mario was on a different level Literally like yeah, nice. Easy. He's Unbelievable is a thing of beauty based Okay, what what else we know now? We're gonna do a third merge message a third merge message or we can just do two No, I'm gonna do three because we're minutes over time now And it says it on the dock that I didn't write hello Dynast duke and land AWS technician here just coming up on one year What is the jankiest most inefficient process you've ever seen a? Tech industry giant have that is different from others. I think that's a process Spelled wrong. Oh Count is a tech industry. No, I don't think so not a giant not in the tech industry. Oh, well, we're a media company I'm hiding behind that shield today You asked me a different day. I'm like, yeah, I've got company Floatplane Whatever once that narcissist do it I'm giving this to Linus. Oh Man, he's right Yeah, no, we do He owns tech companies. That's my old anyways, whatever These funds are paying dividend Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna count this one I'm gonna count this one and I'm gonna name them because I'm pretty sure Everyone who worked there when I worked on this is gone. So this says absolutely nothing about the company in its current form This was like sure ten years ago. Yeah, I don't even that CEO isn't there anymore. Okay When I did a sponsored project for Ford At the New York International Auto Show This was this was a cluster bomb. I don't think it's gonna be controversial contacted us During CES. Okay, and I don't know if you guys know this but the New York International Auto Show at least back then was right after CES They were like, okay, we want to bring you guys out for our sponsored social posts and There's this round table discussion and we're and we're gonna be we're gonna be the first to broadcast in 360 on Facebook which would have been a thing back then which would have been a thing back then and We need you to do these Instagram posts and you know, whatever and I really didn't want to do it I I really didn't want to because I was coming back from CES and CES is always a grind and Particularly back then it was a grind and a half the way that we would tackle that show with very few people It was it was I don't know how we did it So anyway, I literally couldn't anymore The offer though and we needed the money. We really needed the money at the time and the offer was really good so I agreed to fly back from Vegas to Vancouver on my original flight and then Literally, I have a meal in the airport with my family and fly to New York Which I was not stoked to do But you know, it was one of those things where the way that I would always do the math and even now I actually I find myself falling into this math again Even though we have like proper reports and stuff the way that I would do the math is I would take our average salaries And I would go okay, how many how many like employee hours would this pay, right? Like that was just the way I would do the math It's not an unreasonable way to think about whether I would take a project, right? This runs the company for like three weeks I have to take it. Yeah, I look it in. Yeah. Anyways, I'm not going to be clear I wouldn't take it if there was anything an ethical problem with it or whatever else But it was just it was like a couple sponsored Instagram posts for Ford who cares, right? Like it didn't yeah, they weren't asking me to say anything that was untrue It was so so it wasn't a question of that. It was just a question of okay This is a perfectly okay project to take. Is it worth it? Yes so I got there and They're giving us kind of they kind of set us loose in the showroom. It was a bunch of us and They kind of go, okay Here's this like we had this special app that we had to use to create draft posts that their agency could then Approve and then they would go up or something So so anyway, we're like going around they have the show We're on the show floor and they have their showroom with all of their all of their vehicles And they had a few key things that they wanted us to look at you know things like backup cameras and stuff That would have been features back then and the reason that I'm counting this as a tech Company is because Ford was in the midst of trying to rebrand themselves as a tech company But I think they've kind of done I mean f-150 lightning is a pretty techy car at this point, right? So so that's why I'm calling for a tech company because they were calling themselves a tech company And that was a big part of the push and it was a big part of the reason that I was there rather than traditional automotive Influencers or whatever else right so anyway I'm on the show floor, and I'm like, okay, so I'm done my Instagram posts. This doesn't seem like work No offense to like Instagram influencers or whatever like that That's some of them put like a ton of work into the staging and framing and whatever But realistically Ford didn't care and I didn't care We had like almost no followers on Instagram, so I go to the I go to the rap and I'm just like I'm done like do you want to do YouTube video or something? And they're basically like no The KPI is Instagram posts. I'm like cuz like I'll do it like this is pretty cool. Like I actually I like the products I think they're cool like do like should I should I do that now? They're like no And I'm like, but I don't even I don't even have a lot of I don't even have a lot of followers on Instagram like I Like I'm way bigger on YouTube. Do you want me to? But that's how rigid icky the processes can be And it's I don't know about icky, but it's incompetent. I just I don't I Detest that like type of work Sure hate it where you're not giving any thought yeah, but realistically they're not in a position where they can give thought But then I would I would not function. Oh, I see what you're saying is a personal thing. Yeah, I get it No, I get it Not even necessarily blaming them like it just I don't know what I think happened with someone bailed And I think that it was someone with more Instagram following and at the end of the day They just have their KPI and their KPI is they need a certain amount of like Instagram likes and they have a certain budget So they go out and they get a stable of influencers that get them over their limit They need to have a certain number of people there for the round table discussion They just have the parameters and they're working with their parameters and a YouTube video doesn't help them at all Not their parameters so they don't care but the reason why that Feels icky is because you don't feel like you're on part of a team because it's not part of the parameters It doesn't help them at all. It doesn't help their team at all even though that would help the organization It would help your your people as a whole but at that scale I think this just happens it just happens where that's irrelevant now Yeah, and I just I just don't like that KPI stands for key performance indicator So basically the the the proof of performance that you like did your job So like if you're a sales representative your main KPI is going to be selling lots of stuff Like think about think about your customer care your KPI would be customer satisfaction surveys Think about when we started putting flow plane exclusives on To YouTube for YouTube members People came to me with that like tiptoeing super hard Because they expected me to be pissed and my response was like this seems like the right move for the company overhaul Good job But that isn't it's not it shouldn't be protectionism Yeah, I mean the experience is still better on flow plane. You still get more stuff on flow plane We're talking to flow plane chat right now. It's a it's it's better. Yeah, but it's not some people will never Do any engagement with us whatsoever off of YouTube? That is a fact Yeah, their payment information is already there and it's more convenient for them to just click a button It's a it's a worse experience. They don't get as much But they get something and if that something is worth it to them for those dollars, we will take those dollars Sure sounds good and we will give them something in return, but that perspective is a big part of why You were probably always destined for some kind of management and some people don't see that perspective and sometimes it's not even their own fault because They can I think I think people can end up really disenfranchised when their leadership Doesn't see the bigger picture like you describe Like I think that you could start with an idealistic view that anything you do that helps the company should ultimately be you know received positively and rewarded But if you get like if you get it beaten out of you enough times like let's say let's say I was that sales wrap I think this happens a lot Let's say I was that sales rep and I'm only incentivized by like selling things But I would spend probably a solid half an hour of my day every day Making sure that I tied it up the front desk Because because no one else was doing it and I'm still like mostly hitting my quota But then I have someone yelling at me because I'm such a good sales person and I'm not just talking to customers Then I might stop doing it Right, and I think that I think that I think sometimes that might be okay But it's often not like think think about if that sales rep did do the YouTube video with you It gets a million views, but your 50,000 like Instagram post didn't go up. I have no idea how many likes we get on Instagram very few We had a pretty small following on Instagram 5,000 like it's not even sure yeah 2000 thanks one thousand. I have no idea anymore 45 like Instagram posts Doesn't go up for some reason and he misses his quota by your post amount. Yeah, but your YouTube video got a million views to me Huge win. I know whatever I know, but I maybe he loses out on Some in personal income or whatever else for that reason like that can really bash people down You have a miniscule ego compared to most the executives and project managers I've seen and he tagged me I don't Definitely hasn't I You actually nailed it by the way, I think your first guess was 5,000 likes. No, I think I said 50 Oh, did you I corrected down to 5,000. Okay. Well, this was the 360 degree camera set up. Yeah I think yeah, yeah, this one this one was part of the sponsored thing Look at all these like ads and hash tags Fun fact by the way the roundtable discussion did go ahead according to plan, but they never published it. I think yeah, I I would imagine it didn't make it past legal or something and The scuttlebutt that I heard was that what's the what's the American? I know Ryan Seacrest actually co-hosted the panel and The scuttlebutt that I heard was that that was a 100s of thousands of dollars bill For a piece of content that was never published Not to mention so hundred hundreds of thousands of dollars for Ryan Seacrest alone Who my understanding who was only there for part like the first half along with Ford CEO at the time? And then they're like VP of technology or whatever it stepped in for both of them And it continued in the second half and I overheard someone saying that Seacrest was literally already in the shuttle back to his private plane By the time we were done wrapping The second part And so and that and that was on top of all the cost of having literally the entire rest of the table of influencers sitting there So I think basically I'm not even trying to pick on Ford and I'm certainly not trying to pick on any individual person Like I said none of the people that I interacted with there's any way that they're still at Ford at this point This is 483 weeks ago. This was in 2016 so nine years ago nine plus years ago but I think that what I was the point I was trying to make is that processes can get extremely KPI focused and Very focused on the trees when the forest is much more important And I think that that's something that can happen at just about any large company. Yeah, and the reason I'm telling this story is Mostly to illustrate that this kind of thing happens all the time super common And that is a big part of my perspective in general where you'll see other tech media Go malice malice malice scamming taking advantage of the customer When from what I've experienced the probably like perverse incentives Likely explanation is incompetence because there is no way that them refusing a free YouTube video from a youtuber Instead of some crappy Instagram posts from a not Instagrammer had anything to do with anything other than incompetence And that's just that's just the truth. That's just the way it is To address the the ego comics I've been trying to think here. I'm like really surprised Wow, you're really you're really uh, but I think I what kind of ego would you have to have to read that Say it out loud and still be thinking about it when I'm saying things that are so much more interesting I Tend to I tend to align really well with with team effort. Yes, I tend to live really well with team effort I also think I'm I'm rarely like the best at something when we start. I'm rarely the smartest person in the room But I will out try hard like anyone That has always been my thing forever I will sweat so hard and I will eventually win my mom had a term for the kids in her class that were Not that not the brightest intellects, but we're really good at school she called them a getters Because they got a's But they brute-forced it. You are not an a getter No, you are actually someone who effortlessly got a's in school. Yeah, but you're you're one of those people who is Very very smart, but like I was talking about earlier Smart enough to know that you're not the smartest guy in the room. Yeah, like that's the thing, right? and Like Luke was talking about with the like the percentile differences Luke could be 99th percentile He could be smarter than literally 90 99 out of a hundred people But then I hang out with but the insert name the 99.5 percent and the 99.9 percent Basically are to him what he is to someone who gets Passed over for every promotion, you know And that's just the truth That's just the truth Of course, there's more to life than just being smart like a big part of success is learning to work with people Communication skills the amount of wasted potential being personable who are smart But have no grit or will put no effort into anything is insane. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know Scrappy DP says Luke not 99.9 percent we know We know oh and actually the had matter says you can't be over 99 percentile That is actually I don't think that is quite true I think depending on what we're measuring you can be over 99th percentile, but in terms of intellect I don't think they rated over 99. I've no idea if we're talking about a theoretical like a hypothetical if there was the point Is just that as you approach that asymptote It goes out really really really far within that 1% that we don't even really have a way of accurately quantifying Yeah, and that even assumes that the IQ scale is Accurate which we know for a fact that it isn't it's just kind of from my understanding the closest Measure that we have of objective analysis intellectual prowess the ability to like apply your IQ potential to something is like super important a lot of people just like can't do it due to um I don't know ability to work as a team social skills in general different things like that can people can often struggle um As humans or social creatures and you kind of have to accomplish things together generally So I think people get held back from that sometimes Um, okay. Oh, actually this is this is really funny. This is not really a great analogy But it tickled me anyway Willing spy and Floatplane chat says it's kind of like how going from level 98 to 99 in diablo 2 Is the same amount of xp as level 1 to level 92 It kind of though like there's a runescape version of that too 98 is half of 99 or something like that. I don't quote me I haven't played 2007 scape in a long time. It's actually wild though. Like it I don't know 92 is half of 99. Maybe if you had more IQ 92. That's true. It's true. I had to look it up All right, no skill waste. What are we doing? Uh, now you're gonna read the Floatplane announcement. Oh, okay Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Right away, sir um I've always said Who the f*** is daniel beser? But i've never asked what the f*** does daniel beser do? The answer to answer one of the two questions We caught up with Dan in a new series Dan's dailies where he shares some of his day-to-day activities um The current like dislike ratio on this is infinity um People I think it's already on hiatus Dan's dailies is already on hiatus. Oh, yeah It like I had to get canceled halfway through. Oh, uh, because I stopped doing different things. Yeah And it got really really really boring. Okay, cool. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, anyway people really love this video So you can go watch this video Also, where did we get this Floatplane mic flag because I love it. It's a 3d printed actually. I love it so much Do you remember how much we paid for a stupid mic flag back our first trade show? No, but I remember it was like Enough that we talked about it a lot unreasonably expensive And then because it cost it cost so much to like get it personalized I just like used a I used my printer at home and then I used packing tape Around it to like try to make a branded flag. In fact. Oh man. Now. I have to go find this. I'm sure there's oh Dude, I'm gonna find footage of it. Uh youtube hold on Oh, it sounds like the creator roho's team made it for sammy. Maybe tyenin said we made it for sammy. That's super cool Uh, let's see. Was it ces. I don't think it was ces. I don't think I had a mic. Well, it's not suit even But we're dressed up. I'm sure you can tell how many videos I shot in a single day Because I'm wearing the same shirt in this one this one this one and this one Absolutely wild. They're likely more. There you go. Yeah, man. Those days were those days were wild Uh, okay. Was it computex? I think it might have been computex because we did the the sponsorship with wd Look at this guy. Oh, yeah. Look at this guy. Absolutely chad um No, I didn't have a mic flag yet Oh, man, remember when ed did this cool because we were like traveling. We took a plane there We took a plane there. You're just so cool Uh, okay, I'm gonna keep trying to find this in the meantime. You want to find another topic for us? Sure, wait, did I finish reading the thing? No, I didn't finish reading the thing. Do you want to finish it off while you look? Sure, thanks. Uh, so yeah, like ratio really good. There's also a weird invitation, but okay There's also a small discussion on air table a whole new system Dan is building uh Yeah, uh, is building with the help of nicole at air table isn't the system that he's building He's building a system on top of air table air table is a software product. But anyways, I've built something on top of an air table I'm such a Also season two of why is when late is now out and Linus is somehow winning question mark question mark. Is he cheating? Never. Yes. Is Luke just slacking off? No and breaking the law. Yes What's more of a cheat bending the rules or literally breaking the law? It wasn't breaking the law of the competition though. It was just breaking the law Of the country, which is less important objectively Federal crimes are less important Basically don't matter. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Uh, if you how do you tell that you're a c executive? Yeah See sweet Some of you may die, but at least I was not late that is a risk I'm willing to take If you love the processes or want to see if Linus is a snakey cheat and stinking cheating cheater That's there's no way that's in the dog. That says there's word for word sneaky cheaty stinking cheating cheater Wow, I feel personally attacked right now. Check out because I'm being personally attacked right now That's true. Uh, just like an executive check out LMG.gg slash Floatplane or Yes Or youtube members plus for the lazy You Can't call our supporters I have to I have to you can't call our supporters lazy It's it's in the dock. I gotta do it. Okay. Well, I found it Uh, we gave you one of those zoom mics because oh dude, I'm actually so dapper And then this is this is me So There you go So this oh my god, it's taped on this is packing tape. We've come a long way. We really just really really really glossy paint. We really have Um So if we look closely there you go You can really see so it wasn't quite the same width So I had to Do a piece and then if I wrapped it around it kind of looked stupid And remember okay, so hold on hold on if I wrapped it all the way around it would slip off Right, right. So what I had to do was I had to I I lined it up on two sides And then I would tape all the way around And then I put the other two on and then taped all the way around And I had to do the top and then a little Sliver at the bottom because it wasn't quite quite the right width And if I didn't do that then it would like fray and look crappy at the bottom If I wasn't looking this closely at it. I don't think anybody ever noticed or called me on this. Yeah, but this is very Hand-done. Oh, I yeah, it blends in perfectly. Was this where we sponsored by ncx for that show. Yeah Yeah, because we were still working with them on a regular basis. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Also, I just completely like lose the flag in this part of the shoot apparently that's good. Good job Linus That man he deserves every bit of ego that he has he's destined for great things for getting his forgetting his mic Tynan says I see nothing has changed. It's just scaled up if it works I sits For sure. Okay. Wow. What are we supposed to be talking about? Probably sponsors. No, we should do a topic We gotta do another topic. Okay. You got one topic and then you gotta eat your peas. Okay, Dan. You can pick the topic though Okay. Oh, no, this is too much pressure. I've never had to do this before I mean if we're talking about if we're talking about sponsors talking about weird frity and slip Do you know it's not it's normal Don't Don't go outside for a few hours All right, just for that trade war escalates Oh Okay, how about discord trials discord sounds fun. That's a very oh, yes great platform that I like very much Discord has his hot water this week as new jersey becomes the first state to sue the platform Alleging it failed to protect kids from harassment abuse and sexual exploitation The lawsuit claims discord marketed itself as a safe place for kids I don't think I've personally seen that I've ever seen that but okay Even though it knew its safety tools didn't work that I believe Me too It highlights how easy it is for predators to contact minors. Thanks to discord's default settings. That's true. Yep And lack of real age verification all the way in a birthday doesn't count Meanwhile discord is quietly testing a new age verification system in the uk and australia that asks users To scan their face or upload an id which sounds horrific So, yeah, can I interrupt for a second here and say like yes discord lacks real age verification Typing in a birthday doesn't count that totally makes sense. That's totally true But what what else are they supposed to do? I have no idea. I don't want them to do anything. I don't want them to do this other thing Sounds horrible. Sorry. I would I would like if they change the defaults. That's it. Maybe if they added a parental controls mode Does that exist wait? The system isn't all the time Yeah, it's only when you encounter flagged nsfw content or try to change your sensitive content filter That helps a little but not much. Yeah, okay carry on Users can verify by using their phone's camera for a face scan or scanning a qr code to submit a photo of government id Submit indeed discord yeah discord insists the data isn't stored face scans are processed on device and Id images are deleted after verification meaning they're stored for a small period of time But anyways, uh, if the system flags someone is underage they can retry request a manual review or risk a ban I wonder if it's a ban from viewing that type of content or a ban off the platform probably ban off the platform I had one of my kids discord account removed Because they figured out they were a miner somehow And then I made a new account for them Is there parental controls for discord not very good, but they like exist Well with my kids the parental controls are that I know your password and that I am I have full access to your computer as your parent Yeah Uh, uh, Genesis says uh, someone probably reported your kid. Yeah, that makes sense um funny Anyway, yeah, this move appears to be discord's way of staying ahead of tightening regulations like the uk's online safety act And australia's rules banning under 16s from social media Our discussion question though is can any platform realistically protect kids without unreasonably sacrificing privacy or usability? Thank you. Luke. This is a really long and nuanced conversation. It's really good that we're able to Like turn this into a to an actual topic we can discuss rather than just reading a thing. I think we need better strong parental controls Like everywhere and I I don't think these types like Uploading your id to freaking every platform that exists is not an acceptable solution of my I can tell you right now Parental controls are not going to be a solution either parental controls exist for lots of these Lots of platforms even if they do or don't for discord and parents don't use them parents don't use them parents don't even understand them Like I've talked to I've told this story before but like hanging out with normie parents of my kids friends Has been extremely eye-opening for me. Yeah, they literally don't even know what the fuck discord is Yeah, that's crazy until the school sends out a memo warning about kids Bullying each other on discord. They're like, well, what's a discord? They they literally don't even know and their kids are like over 10 wild and they're like all on discord Of course there that's wild I just I the biggest pushback for me is not actually the fact that like It's extremely obvious that one of these platforms is going to get hacked at some point in time And there's going to be some form of man in the middle thing and they'll be like, whoa, we don't store it But yeah, the malicious attacker does that's not even my main complaint My main complaint is the person that could be potentially trying to exploit your child Sure could try to use some form of fishing style attack To get them to give them photos Or potentially their id because if you normalize the idea of these platforms asking for photos and id you now Create a fishing scenario where you can ask for photos and id and we should just not do this to begin with In my I really don't think you're going to stop anything people will very likely find ways around this Part of the problem too is just how archaic our id systems are like the fact that your social security number or in Canada Your sin number is like a permanent number and like once people have it they like Have it and can do stuff with it That's insane. I mean even a credit card right has to expire every few years so that someone who so if it's compromised They don't just have it forever And it's way less important in the grand scheme of things than a sin number or an ssn Like it that's insane But here we are. Yeah, like I didn't even pay for aquifax forever That's a good system. Yeah, I told they get hacked. Um, I get it free because they got hacked Me too, it's not even a joke Fox and z i'm assuming new zealand says discord can't stop fishers abusing their qr code logins on the browser Why should we trust them for scanning faces and id securely? This is my point and it honestly has nothing to do with trusting discord. You can't trust any of them It's not it's not i'm not even i don't know i don't know actually I know I I take a I take extreme exception Mr. Mark Zuckerberg I was wondering where he's gonna go with it. Can't even trust 4chan face book face book Engaged in absolutely no anti competitive Sorry, I can't even I can't even that would be such a difficult like thing to try to Even do it with a straight face. Yeah, okay I trust luke don't That's my point is like I don't like we can trust him but verify. Yeah, that's allowed. Yeah, that's allowed My my and you can trust me bro as long as LTT Store continues to have an excellent track record of taking care of our customers But once once it doesn't anymore than you shouldn't yeah Like we uh, yeah, someone said even the LMG forum got hacked. That's my point Yep, to be honest and like it's been a while and that's great. I'm happy about that, but it might happen again someday Yeah, I mean we don't write the software the forum runs on no You know so like we do our best, but uh It is what it is every platform is vulnerable every single thing ever every lock every physical lock every software lock every door Every wall every single thing ever is vulnerable to something this is wild nothing is ever dead antisocial in Floatplane chat My wife got a letter in the mail trying to sell her stuff It was addressed to her fake name that she only uses on facebook Wild yeah, love it great.

I don't know why I'm on my 4th. I have an iron bladder I think it's from I I refer to it as gamer bladder Gamer bladder. Yeah, I've started adopting gamer bladder as well. Yeah, sorry. I just muted there. Um, but yeah, it's like I don't know. Yeah something about today Yeah, speaking about about today. Should we do a merge message break or should I find another article? Um topic. Why'd I say article? I mean there are articles sort of I guess maybe I guess Merge message. Yes. No question mark. Oh, I think there's another one in here for you Hey, look, it's a do you prefer working on your soft skills or technical skills? I've always been told my soft skills are great. So I end up in main positions But sometimes I hesitate if it's the right call Hmm I find working on technical skills to be more fun and feel more rewarding in the moment. I feel like working on soft skills Is less fun, especially because working on something often means failing to a certain degree and failing with soft skills sucks. Um But I find the long term not like short short term dopaminergic response, but the long term uh Deep appreciation response to working on soft skills to be higher. Um Yeah, maybe that's a good answer. Maybe not we're on with that Um, maybe I'll find another topic because I was relatively short. Do you have any thoughts on that Dan? I don't know the thing is like your your hard skills can be done By yourself soft skills you need other people to do that And so if you're not if you're not setting up an environment where you're interacting with people to You know work on soft skills, then it's not Yeah You want to jump to the pool robot video? You can say controversy thing. I don't even know what it is to be honest. I don't know what it is either Oh, yeah, we uploaded our pool cleaning robot video today, which obviously stirred up some comments Um, so we want to have an open discussion with you guys point number one Why don't they just go rent a pool somewhere else so they don't have to blur things Um, buying people to loan us a pool actually is not that easy Especially if we're going to like hug stuff in it. It needs to be not clean. Yeah Most pools that you can rent are going to be clean So, yeah We blur surroundings to protect privacy to the greatest degree that we can we always try to blur something if we can and it's Better slash faster to have the auto blur tool navigate around the host rather than trying to track individual Windows If the camera is moving point number two, why do we make pool bot videos? Short answer is right in the name of the video showcase um Got a great world-class team here. They need great world-class money Um, we've always tried to be extremely clear when we do these showcases versus an editorial or a sponsored video that is Integrated into the content um We explained this in our how LTT makes money video and ultimately we turned down Way more offers for showcases than we accept. It's only when we think we can make a video that's worth watching I mean, I watched that video. I thought it was actually pretty entertaining. I think elijah did a great job um And we let the host kind of carry the entertainment when we decide to take these kinds of showcases We also attempt to upload them on uh low performing days So as to not take away from the other videos we might post that week So it would be typical for a video like that to go up on a friday when If you are more into things that are not just a sponsored pool robot video, you could also watch the WAN Show So discussion question here is what could we improve next time? I mean I think there's a lot of things that we could improve. I think we could probably frame a little bit more carefully day of Um, you know try to make it so we don't have to blur as much. I think that um I think that's the biggest one. I think that's what most people were mostly concerned about was the blurring But in terms of the actual content of the video I don't know. I actually I I actually kind of enjoyed it. I thought elijah did a great job and I thought it was interesting to see Yeah, what is the actual difference in cleaning speed for the robot versus me for for those of you who don't want to watch the video Because uh blurring bothers you a smart angle because I understand this content could be difficult to Make interesting, but I'm skimming through it right now and that seems kind of cool Actually, the robot took a few hours It didn't get everything but it had enough battery left that it could probably do another pass and Like it would be done at that point. Um And I took an hour So I beat it by a factor of like six, but it also took you an hour, but I personally spent an hour Dragging sand and rocks and fake leaves out of my pool that elijah put there. Yeah. Yeah, I also That f***ing guy His stupid sand that here I'm gonna say I'm gonna give this to I'll send this to Dan Dan if you want to show this on stream um That guy uh Here hold on Yeah, I sent this to him Yeah, I'm gonna bring that uh Someone just said an hour of cvo time on cleaning a pool. Yeah, but as the vision officer He could see the stuff at the bottom of the pool more easily and you forget that my main role is Not really cvo It's just a it's just a role that kind of works to describe the most important thing that I do grand scheme of things But the thing that I actually spend the majority of my time on day today is more along the lines of primary host and editor in chief And oh no, and that that That encompasses a lot of different things like today I was actually on set for an entire shoot that I participated in only minimally Just as a training exercise for a couple of hosts one of whom was relatively Uh inexperienced still and you know, they just wanted me to Yeah, I thought that was really cool because the goal has always been to be a real company that isn't just A youtuber and his band of merry men, you know and some women even these days Um, you got that picture for you to be a real company, right? And part of being a real company is succession I am not going to be young and hip and cool Well, ever but um, I'll be even less young and less hip and less cool tomorrow than I was yesterday What do you mean? I know that's not very narcissistic. I know I know well What happened there? Well, it's almost oh no Okay, do you want to see the picture? Let's look at the picture. I sent Elijah What I can't Here can you zoom in Dan? I can show us. Can you show us my filter? For my pool. So those are your pool filters? Yeah That's the smallest sand I think I've ever seen those are not cheap Anyway Anyway, what a guy. What a guy. What a guy, but yeah, anyway, so pool bot video Uh, basically, uh, I'm sorry But I'll do it again Yeah Well, I like a full disclosure, right? Full disclosure We are fully disclosing everything that we're doing and if you want to watch a review We have that and if you want to watch a showcase of a pool robot We have that and we labeled it very clearly and we put it on a day when you were going to get other content anyway So which is like Pretty sick. I Stack the content. Yep I'm sorry About the overuse of blur I I yeah, I was skimming through it. It was a little egregious sometimes I get it But you got to do that once an experience and then go, okay, we can what are the things we can do about it next time But sometimes there's well, there's new factors new areas that we didn't anticipate needing to blur So it is what it is. Got it. I mean I've We have actually talked internally for years and years and years about just buying a house That is like a filming house Like the old days except except we don't actually operate the company there. We just use it as a filming set Anyone close to here would be kind of I my My main objection to it is that we are taking a house off the market that someone could live in Which like blows Oh, like shouldn't matter if we made enough houses But we don't but we don't so it does matter. We don't make enough houses. That's so and by we I don't mean like us personally I mean like we collectively here in the area that we live What if you built one? um That was like a set house That's still a piece of residential zoned property that another developer almost certainly would have built a house on Could you build a set house on non residential zoned property? I bet so Oh my god, okay. Now. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a house that no one will ever live in so separate problem um I mean nothing's impossible, but it wouldn't have like a pool like it wouldn't be like a proper house It would have to be more like a set It has to have a pool to be a proper house. Well, no, I wouldn't help us with pool robots Are you fair now you need a house with like four pools so one can be getting dirty in your pool Yeah A dirty pool factory robot race four-way race we need four pools Yeah, you couldn't possibly have them clean the pool one at a time in serial it takes too long Um, okay, what are we supposed to be talking about? Uh, some other topic Let's see. How about we do uh good guy moves from companies We asked we asked you guys last week to come up with some good guy moves from companies for an upcoming LTT And I thought we were going to be pretty led on topics this week So I thought hey, we'd highlight some of the really good ones that you guys have come up with already Dan if you want to post the reddit thread so if people could add more to them that would be awesome um And so yeah, I want to highlight some of the cool ones you guys came up with and also Solicit more examples of good guy moves from companies. So here's a few really good ones. This is from real train Bittersweet one, but google's handling of the stadia shutdown They refunded every game purchase and unlocked the proprietary controllers allowing them to be used as generic bluetooth and wired controllers That was a good guy move. That was cool. That was actually legitimately cool gimmick music one says for all the people give nintendo When the we you had such atrocious sales the executives at nintendo all took pay cuts So they would not need to lay anybody off. I reference this often It's a decision that has stuck with me even today in the grand scheme of triple a gaming I don't think that nintendo has ever implemented mass layoffs like sony ea or microsoft etc yes And flakfreak says microsoft of all companies still developing balancing and supporting age of empires two since 1999 And doing it on steam not microsoft store. It's a smaller example, but it's a pretty cool one I'm surprised microsoft didn't get in there for their accessibility controllers, but I will also might have that's just a few examples the we you thing happened in like I don't know the we you launched in 2012. So i'm assuming 2013 and google stadia was announced to be shut down in 2022 So when we dug down for examples of companies doing good things, we had to oh, I already closed them I'll be looked over span of a decade. Yeah. Well, give the community time. They're gonna find more stuff. Yeah They're gonna do it. They're gonna do it. There is other more recent examples. I'm just saying All right What else we got? Oh shoot Lots of topics. I accidentally collapsed a few of my like backup topics here. So i'll leave that one open Um, oh, I see. I'm gonna call out. Yeah, I'm gonna move them for you guys. Oh my goodness. Let's just do that one now Oh, oh, it's gone. Oh my goodness Dan, oh, you're killing me. Okay fine fine. Where is it now? Oh, what happened? Why is the rtx 50 60 one? Ah good old doc. I'm gonna I'm gonna put it above. It's just under main topics. Oh, okay Let's just do it now Thank you. Daniel Besser do what now these topics talking about the mic challenges. Well, no, we still have other topics We have like two we have like seven more topics. Oh, do any of them matter 30? HP agrees to a settlement over claims of falsely advertising pc and keyboards Um, they're paying four million dollars after a class action complaint accused the pc maker of showing Misleading original pricing for various computer mouse and keyboard products on their website Among the claims, uh, the suit alleged that hp.com advertised an aio printer on sale for $899 And claimed the customer would save $100 instantly Though the printer had not been advertised for $999 for more than six months Permasale Is that a thing permasale? It's well, that's what I call it. What's the what's the like? What's the maximum end of how long you can have a sale on for that's what fun fact? That's why ncix had a weekly special. Yeah. Yeah where you'd have the same item in the weekly special and there would be a few hours In between the weekly special every week That's so much better so that you could have hard drives on sale always But they would not be in violation of any of these laws. There was a significant period of my life where I I went meticulously through every single ncx weekly sale. Oh, me too. Yeah hondo p. Yeah Um, anyway, hp isn't admitting any fault or liability But the settlement will see the original complainants. Um, we'll get them up to $5,000 each Which along with lawyer fees will come out of the four million dollar settlement pool While class members will receive 10 to 100 dollars depending on the product purchased And this is why I look at class actions. I'm just like, okay. That was Really good use of time for so anyone other than the lawyer who was involved. Hey, how are all those honey lawsuits going? Who knows who knows and I don't think anyone cares anymore Has beg a leg even like you were a much more interesting target than honey. I think I yeah, I think so the internet. Yeah, I think so Um forget that company. I found an individual Um, what is this EU thinks of children and takes action against harmful practices and videos? Yeah, this is cool What is this after a complaint by the swedish consumers association the consumer protection corporation network Cpc has taken action against Star stable entertainment ab makers of the massively multiplayer star stable online Can you call it massively multiplayer if I've never heard of it and luke's never heard of it for pc and mac And the star stable horses app for Android and iOS. I suspect that's more I'll be working on this for now and you do fantastic. It's a horse game Anyway carry on carry on. Wow the graphics are oh, I think I've I've heard of this. This is Obscenely popular. Oh It's it's like girlies crack Oh, that makes sense Yeah, that makes sense why we probably haven't heard of it right Yeah, I love how the the hair on the horse is like amazing Yeah, well you carry on Perfect. Um, yeah, so they have yeah MMO for pc and mac and they have star stable horses app for Android and iOS The cpc identified a number of practices that violate EU consumer protection regulations Which could be harmful to children including direct appeals to children in advertisements The use of pressuring techniques such as purchase through time limited practices a lack of clear and transparent information And failure by the company to ensure that the influencers promoting their products clearly disclose commercial content. Ah, yes Classic uh star stable entertainment has one month to respond with a plan to address these issues Discussion question. What do you think of this seemingly very cooperative approach to enforcement? Um I don't know. It seems cool I don't have a ton to say to that Um by cooperative do they mean the two different organizations teaming up because that happens elsewhere as well I've seen that before Um, I think it can make sense though. Often it's resource sharing and stuff like that Um discussion question could star stable replace tape to tape as Linus's go-to game I Jordan says I made you an account. It's under the LTT In the password manager download here You're just playing in the browser. Do you want the more full fad experience? I I can keep doing topics and you can my experience has already got enough You're not even through the character creator. Are you? No, i'm not. Oh, but you've got you've got an account. I feel like you got to download it Uh, I really don't think I do. I think this is important content for wanshow Don't think I do. I feel like you're doing a disservice to the people Um by not getting a ribbon or something. Anyway, the eu seems to be figuring out things Pretty good for the most part. This seems like another positive step in my opinion Even though he didn't do it, jordan, I appreciate that you set up an account for him and everything I think it was valuable Um Open ai is doing something probably horrible. Open ai is developing an early stage thing that sucks Kate sounds good. Um Intel investigating arc performance with older cpus. What is it? Open ai wants to build a social app basically cool Yeah, no, it's super old news, but Intel's finally acknowledged and they are investigating the CPU overhead issues With running arc gpus on older Intel and AMD cpus So Yeah, they're gonna be all sad because we brushed over that topic. It's not that we don't think the topic is important Yeah, it's important. Whoever wrote this it's It's just so gross. I like I don't want to talk about it. Open ai is a thing. Yeah. Yeah Either way, they want to make an app and then you can share your generated images on it so you can show your Ghibli drawings to other people that you didn't draw Sick and they can look at it and show you there are things that they didn't draw in other good news Blue origin practices sending millionaires to space for when the world ends. Maybe They're ns 31 flight launched on april 14th and made headlines for being an all-female crew The voyage was just under 11 minutes long and stirred up lots of controversies ranging from Outrage that celebrities are going to space to even claims that the flight was faked Yep Celebrities included pop star katie parry broadcast journalist gale king philanthropist lauren sanchez Philanthropist, okay, so wife of jeff bezos and film producer happy you reacted to that karyan flim The other two members included former nasa rocket scientist aisha bow and bioastronautics research scientist amanda newian Some i'm not even going to talk about the theories that it's fake. They're really stupid. Um It's just filming stuff and timing. Yeah, don't worry about that door was open already because they had to make sure they were okay Oh fiance not wife. Yeah, thank you. Um, whatever. Okay, so do people hate katie parry now? Like why do people hate katie parry? I I don't actually know. I literally don't don't know and honestly deeply Fundamentally to my core don't care. She's fake They turned on her they married. Oh, she married russell brand. Is she still rustle married to russell brand? Oh Yeah, he's an idiot Uh No, they broke up Dude, they broke up. We're married from 2010 to 2012. What are you even talking about nothing to do? Yeah, that all that's all that's such a lame reason There's not there's no way there's no way because they liked her way after that There's there's no way I don't believe it. Um I don't know man people people seem to Her new song was terrible. I think she collaborated with some Guy that people don't like on it or something Worked with this shady dj. Yeah, she collaborated with some guy and they didn't like that guy Okay, I mean there's maybe something there Anyway, yeah, people seemed like really mad that she went to space and some people seem especially mad that like celebrities Like went to space just because they're celebrities, but I got to be honest with you guys like I'd do it the thing if they offered to send tech tips man to space Questionably and and like if we're if we're having real talk right now You'd do it. Yeah, I wouldn't blame katie perry for this one. Yeah, sorry Oh something to consider as well about these people is you're mad about the stuff that you see Like trust me. There's so many things you don't see uh And like the whole reason that you're seeing it and talking about it at all Is because they did this with celebrities if they had only sent the scientists. No one would even know this apparently is oh Hold on. No, this is definitely not footage that we can just use on WAN Show, but uh, we can watch it Uh, jeff bezos apparently face plants as part of the the whole thing Like on purpose. No, I don't think so Haha Sorry It's pretty funny not it's pretty funny Anyone falling is funny. It's just I don't know. It's funnier when it's a billionaire. Yeah. Yeah So it was funny, but he did catch himself to be clear. I don't I don't actually know enough about jeff bezos to like hate him hate him He's just a billionaire to me. I don't think he's seems much worse than other billionaires I could be mistaken about that. How much money do you think he made in the time that he lost his balance and then hit the ground? That's gonna keep me up tonight Only about two or three seconds, but like that's gotta be like an annual salary for someone. Yeah, like for sure. I'll be multiple Yeah, that hurts Anywho Yeah, people are upset because the door opened before Bezos went and like did the turn the crank thing I think it was for filming reasons. I suspect they opened the door like right away to Make sure that they were chill. I haven't looked into it almost at all But I'm just assuming that the second they were like, oh, they opened the door and then they closed it and they opened it ceremoniously I was like, yeah Red tape and filming this is like yeah a thing like this may surprise you But when we do our grand opening party at smash champs in a couple of months the mayor is gonna cut a ribbon Smash champs was already open. Yeah for like a while. Yeah It's okay. It's okay. It's alright. It's it's yeah, it's performative and that's that's okay sometimes Yeah, I don't know the whole story. There might be other things behind it I don't know but the the like a little bit of the clip that I saw I'm like they open the door and then he goes and like kind of waves at them and closes the door again And he's like, uh, it looks like he's like, oh, no, no, no, we need the door closed still We're gonna get the shot and then he closes the door. Yeah, it's like Okay, yeah, there's probably stuffy in there and they wanted to open the door whatever Who knows? All right What are we doing? Great warehouse product sightings roundup. It's been a lot of it. Oh, yeah, this is pretty cool John Gadget featured the LTT screwdriver and precision driver in a tools and everyday carry roundup He likes spoiler. He likes both. So this is pretty cool I'm only gonna show a little bit of one of them. Oh my god I'm only gonna show a little bit of one of them because I want y'all to go watch the video Here you go.

Yeah, so guys Dan's gonna link all of these videos Thanks, Dan LTT screwdriver also appeared in Mr. Who's the Bosses video testing youtuber products. By the way, we low-key Killed it What? What? That's so cool. That's pretty sick. Yeah, he gave us a nine and a half Nine and a half. We were the highest scoring YouTuber product nobody got a ten. Nobody got a ten. So I was I was pretty pleased with that The commuter backpack was reviewed by Aaron at nomads nation It's a 21-minute review that gives a great look at most of the features of the bag He especially likes the sleek style and the design of the tech compartment Yeah, I guess I'm I guess I'm like doing this for all of them. Okay. Well, there you go There's the thumbnail. You guys are gonna have to you're gonna have to watch these videos I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take away the joy of watching the videos and then okay, William Ozzman Ended up with a very cursed flesh-toned silicone LTT driver his pain machine video screw driver Yeah, so this one-of-a-kind LTT flesh driver was made by Sebastian from CW It was unsanctioned It was after hours and he presented it to William at open sauce last year Seb said he made the abomination because it was a terrible thing to make and William would enjoy it He made the mold from a production screwdriver so that he could get the texture right You will have to do that yourself if you want one of these because we are not selling them no matter how much you beg That is horrible have you have you held it no this shouldn't exist you gotta check out you got to check out them It is one of the worst things. It's so I feel like I feel like it in his hand would need to be blurred here Can I can I show this part of the video? Yeah, just show it Watch he'll show it like he'll he squeezes it when you see him pull it so you can tell it's like flexible That's why I call it the screwdriver I want to do his and hers That is horrible Neat anyway, finally It's not that's gonna be a whole thing. Oh boy sound of the bit compartment. Can we get sound real quick? Oh, yeah, sure Luke Yeah, whatever you want to play it. Whenever you ready, okay? Is anyone else's LTT screwdriver like this it's got like Skin are they yanking my balls just mushy. I don't want to say what it feels like I'm grabbing listen Last week I figured out I was being charged Oh That video in general is actually extremely interesting by the way, it's really cool It's all about having Like cold hot cold hot and it tricks you into thinking that you're like burning Because of the it's too close for your nerves or something he explains it all in the video But it's it's actually a really really cool video. I would suggest checking it out. It's all you're never making that product During work hours ever during no, I don't care I don't want to know I don't want people to put an LTT logo there during work hours. That's fair But it would sell like crazy. No No Okay Bootleg market finally, it's not a creator warehouse product, but it is something we built Doug DeMiro gave an update on his Lambo racing rig It finally arrived and it sounds like they managed to beat the tariffs But his team ran into a bit of trouble reassembling it because of whiskey Doug plans to have visitors set lap times in the rig and maintain a leaderboard So he responded to that here so you guys can go check that out for him as well Okay, I am We're getting there. What was done? Oh a discussion question. What's the coolest LTT product sighting you've had? I mean for me, I think the most fun ones are when I see someone wearing the hoodie or the backpack and I walk up and I'm just like Nice hoodie or like Nice backpack and then I keep moving and they don't realize who I am me too. I actually love that Yeah, I love playing that game I don't know if it's because they just bought the product because I think it's a good product They have no idea what LTT is or like me personally or if they just like were taken aback or didn't recognize me out of that Context or whatever. I don't care. Why I just I love it. I love just being like hey I often think they they legitimately probably don't know who I am so I'm not on camera as much anymore But I just take that as an opportunity to be like, I don't know It is nice and it looks good on them. So I will tell them. It's fine Yeah, trade war escalates but stuff sucks I Don't know trade war continues to ramp up and video expects 5.5 billion in losses AMD expects 800 million in losses Chip export license restrictions to China smartphones semiconductors and consumer electronics are temporarily exempt from reciprocal tariffs But it's still subject to a 20% tariff. That's because as far as I can tell Tim Apple went to went to orange guy and was like, please don't and then he was like, okay, cool Other products now face up to 245 percent because numbers don't even matter anymore in stacks tariffs Combining multiple rounds from both Trump and Biden administrations in retaliation China has suspended exports of key rare earth metals and magnets Potentially disrupting everything from aerospace to gaming peripherals NVIDIA has reaffirmed its $500 billion commitment to US production with blackwell chips being manufactured at TSMC's Arizona fab Sony has hiked ps5 prices again in Europe. I don't know how that makes any sense Australia and New Zealand as game consoles reportedly aren't exempt from apparently that's to blend Their costs across all the regions So they're absorbing some of the cost of the tariffs by having consumers pay more worldwide That's interesting because they don't do it the other way around Switch to keeps its $449 price launch price, but accessories like joy cons and pro controllers are going up about five bucks Which seems low to be honest US consumers are turning to Chinese shopping apps like DH gate and Taobao Which are now topping the app store charts as people try to buy direct and dodge Heavy markup platforms like Xi'an and Timu. I don't think that's gonna work Bruh, it'll work for now For like a little bit. Yeah. Well, I talked about how people are apparently like stocking up hard on non-essentials. Yeah fair. Yeah, yeah Yeah, I've had people being reaching out saying like I'm worried that my computer isn't gonna make it I won't be able to forward it on the other end. I can technically afford it now So I'm gonna jump now just to give you some idea Luke of the absolute Like insanity of what we're seeing right now Our net sales for our Q2 of 2024 so for those of you not familiar with the Q system We're 18 days into Q2 it goes from April to the end of June beginning of April end of June Our numbers for Q2 of last year Are slightly lower what we have done in the last 18 days Slightly lower What Obviously people like shipping promos and it's not wondering why we have a promo on lttstore.com Where over a hundred fifty dollars you get free shipping anywhere in the world by now MCM is discounted. So obviously the margins are a little lower a lot lower This time around so it's not actually like from a profit standpoint. That's not that's not how it works Yeah, but a big part of it is also just People knowing like okay if if tariffs at you know potentially hundreds of percent Do go into effect on May the 2nd Costs are going to go up in a very substantial way on items that are manufactured overseas Particularly in China. So if I want something that's made in China, which like a lot of things are Now's the time to get on it. Yeah All right, do you do you want to I think These are interesting topics these go next week probably we could do these next week I'm I'm really excited to collab with badminton insight, but I think we've already kind of talked about that Oh, have we talked about how nerd sports is coming back? Dan do you know nerd sports is getting a new episode. I think now it's official. Okay, we're doing it So the pro players that we're going to be playing against are going to be Greg and Jenny from badminton insight who recently reached the semi-finals at the all England open Which is kind of a big deal badminton tournament. They put on the performance of a lifetime in front of the home crown home crowned Freaking slip a home crowd In England and they're coming out here to do a tour of the facility and they will also be shooting nerd sports with us David who had was the genius behind our last couple of April Fool's videos Fantastic, it's going to be the writer producer for most recent scraphead wars the budget's a little lower on this one because Channel Super Fun Doesn't make money, but I think we did find a sponsor. So we are making it work We're giving it a little bit of resources So we're doing one more, you know lost hurrah episode of nerd sports, and I'm actually really excited I will not be playing for the keyboard warriors though. Who's playing this time? I am too good at badminton. Yeah, it makes you properly be like a joes against pros player who's playing I don't oh should I reveal it? Oh, I don't know. I think We could talk about it next week. I'm I think the plan is to have four play You know, it's really late to bother David. I'm not gonna bother David. I was interested, but I never got tapped I think it's to have four players And they'll tag team They'll tag team out. Oh And we have some fresh we have some really great challenges for the pros David and I were there Yesterday, I think it was and I was trying a lot of the challenges for myself. So Greg and Jenny might watch this so I don't want them to know what's coming, but you don't want to spoil it for Yeah, I want to spoil it for anybody, but we have some fun interesting Challenges nice exciting And I'm really excited sweet there. That's it. That's all I have to say about that very cool I'm always told being let's like a box of chocolates. I might I might show up and hang out in the premium section just watch Okay We're not allowing spectators in general, but I'll make a one exception for Luke because he helped us configure our gym He's allowed in the gym whenever he wants actually put a lot of work into it and our gym is super nice I guess so many compliments on our gym people come up to me tears in their eyes. It's this is the greatest gym I've ever seen your gym Beautiful beautiful gym. It's wide. It's wide It's pretty yeah, it's pretty good. Okay. I'm yeah, let's let's switch after dark. I still wish I had a green chair Let's do it after dark time Maybe one day well look how fast a good cop You should get his fingers warmed up with lots of merch messages every week Is that it Dan is that what's going on? No, this is the flow it made a little bit more sense tonight I think a couple weeks ago. You're just like now. We're not doing any of these. Okay. When after dark I was scrambling You could see this you the day new ma, right? We got it. We got to do a better job than we got to make it more chaotic Yeah, I might my life's too easy and I'm not stressed enough. Yeah Hi guys I've been living in Canada for almost two years coming from Brazil you guys Thought me a lot about Canadian culture. You taught me a lot about Canadian culture What in each of you or your three opinions is the most unique Canadian thing? Man, it's it's a super Canadian thing to like not give a f*** about your Canadianness. I Don't know if that's unique to us, but it's just it is in stuff. It is so Contrastful with our southern neighbors that like you can like you can actually drive You know through a town in Canada and See Canadian flags like only on government buildings That's the norm. Yeah, we don't we don't do that changing a little bit But it has actually changed quite a bit. Yeah Yeah, we've never been patriotic and now we are yeah, it's very I wouldn't say we've never been patriotic I'd say in our adult lifetimes. It's kind of faded to a significant degree that doesn't necessarily mean that We don't value our sovereignty. It just means that Like I don't know. I think we're just kind of chill about it I feel like we see ourselves very much as members of the world instead or instead of Aspirational members of the world because the reality of it is fair enough kind of not that relevant There are a lot of the time but the like only reason why we're included a lot of stuff is because we were included in the big war that Established a lot of stuff Not because our economy is like strong or we're particularly influential. Yep We built an ARM for some cool thing that floats around the world. That's pretty neat. I was pretty cool. Yep What what was exactly the base question is like unique most unique Canadian thing For me, it's always been our one road. Yeah, our one road. That's pretty good Yeah, that's that South Park episode where they joke about the only road in Canada Just follow the only road like that actually like is a thing. That's true. That's my favorite highway number one Yeah, we only have one is is the the one like federal highway that actually goes through every province And it doesn't even go through the territories. So there are parts there There are times when like a bridge along that road will will fall into disrepair and Get across Canada Trucks and stuff will have to drive down into the states and cross the border to come back part of it is also a very Yeah, there's there's no way to get across it and part of it is is actually a boat. Yeah, have you ever taken the highway one boat? I've heard of it, but I haven't taken it. Yeah crazy. Yeah, dumb country. That's a good example I don't know I think we're the only Orton's Tim Hortons is trash and owned by a Brazilian conglomerate I was just gonna say I think we're the only country in the world that has a very strong argument for nationalizing a fast food chain Yeah, I think Canada needs to as a country needs to buy Tim Hortons and make it not suck again because it like Actually, I think it should like offend our country that a thing that was genuinely a defining part of our country Which it absolutely was it isn't anymore, but it absolutely was and it sucks And it's bad now and people still remember that and will come to Canada excited to try Tim Hortons and then be like Wow, this is bad and Canada sucks and Canadians have no taste. Yes. Yeah, those things actually get associated together. It's crazy It's a It we we as there maybe there's some other solution, but we should not have allowed it to become bad I think that's a uniquely Canadian thing is any time a company gets big enough It can no longer be Canadian by law. It seems being listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange is like Trashed here to not become good and being being owned by Basically, you get so big that when it's time to sell No other Canadian entity can afford to buy you anymore So you just sell to an international conglomerate and then that's why the major companies in Canada are mostly Internationally owned there are a handful of exceptions Shopify would be one but I don't know how long they're gonna be hanging around Yeah, Bombardier would be another one Hudson Bay Company. Yeah, well Everyone in Canada has kind of known. Yeah rip ATI ATI yeah, a big side one. Well in Nortel a little bit different of a rip, but still yeah, I Think everyone up here is known that Hudson's Bay Company was going away for a long Oh, yeah, I mean, I haven't set foot in one in my adult life that I can remember so long enough Why would you yeah, I'm a major shame. I'm amazed they've lasted as long as they did. Yeah That's right, I think the hub is Canadian Well, yeah, a major company. I mean, they're a major company. You can't deny it. Oh, yeah, they're Canadian that hub Yeah, yeah, North Vancouver. I think it came up a lot recently about when you know when we were supporting Canadian companies. Yeah Wait What you're there from North Vancouver. No, no, they're back east. That's they are A&W Their headquarters is in North Vancouver. Yeah. Oh, yeah, A&W Canada confused so much. I'm sorry a completely different company from A&W USA I was desperate for food and I was in the States and I got a team burger to A&W. It was inedible. It was completely Disgusting. Yeah, I would say that if you want to have Canadian fast food these days if you come to Canada and you're like, okay What's like good Canadian fast food? Go to A&W. There isn't a lot. Yeah, that's pretty much it. That's pretty much it get a Costco poutine Actually one of the best in Canada Costco counts. Yeah dead anti-social says the American A&W used to be good like 20 years ago Yeah, it's trash now. It's so bad. Oh Yeah, triple O's triple O's is good Canadian fast food as well. Those are actually darn good burgers. You might have a harder time finding them Yeah, that's Western Canada, so yeah, that's why I didn't really bring them up, but that is a good point We'll give them that. All right Hit me Dan Hi, Ong I've Anne. This is a speed type comment My employer recently hit the big 100. What kind of achievements do you hope to have if LMG lasts that long? Also, hi Vod me. Well, the achievements won't be mine personally because I'll be long dead So there's that your tech you're original people at the company would be gone Yeah, so I would I would hope that LMG doesn't lose its soul. I would hope that it's still a cool place to work I would hope that, you know, we still have a culture of like kicking butt and working hard I would hope that we do a good job of both competing hard in the tech media space But also Building a collaborative atmosphere and environment with our competitors What else would be on the list? I would kind of hope that they still haven't taken outside investment Hmm interesting. How does that work though? Because there'd have to be succession of some sort Do we do we go monarchy like what do you what are you thinking here? What if they started buying up other companies ah Man M&A is not really like My jam we've always been like a grind it out and make it from the ground which honestly is kind of stupid Yeah, I think about it Yeah, I don't know I don't know and I don't know how that works necessarily I think the main thing is I wouldn't want like a conglomerate, right Yeah, so at the very least maybe we could manage like a small ownership group. I don't know I think I have no idea I I can't claim to have the answer, but I mean, I guess I I'm gonna have to figure out the answer at some point at some point because there's only so many exit strategies, right? like you can sell you can You can convert to like like a co-op you can What else can you do you can shut down very popular one right now, which is something that you like half did Which is you get a new CEO and then you just retain all ownership and just take reports once a year and don't do anything with the Won't help us hit a hundred. I'll die so someone's gonna have to own the company at some point Yeah, but yeah, you said exit strategy that is a thing. Oh sure sure sure sure sure I mean I meant like from ownership, right Anyone else thinking? Oh, yeah pass on to kids That's one. So that's the monarchy route. That's the monarchy route. Yep. I don't know if any of your kids Could be a paper my son asked to do a video and I gave him the least glamorous assignment possible to see if he actually cares and He appears to be working on a review of the new Kindle color. I Really couldn't think of anything less glamorous. That's pretty not glamorous than a Kindle e-reader Yeah, but he is asking a lot of the right questions And I'm guiding him a little bit, but I'm not doing any work for him And it is a product that he genuinely uses like the old paper white So I was planning on actually doing the video myself because I just wanted the new Kindle color because it looked cool And so I grabbed the new paper white and I grabbed the color and I was like well I'll work on this in my spare time So I made some notes and I passed those along to him as well as giving him some ideas for where he could look for Information other professional reviewers customer reviews his own thoughts Making sure not to plagiarize any of that and to compile it into, you know, his own thoughts and I Told him that if he comes up with a script for it That I would help him that I would help him review it and that he could host part of it So who knows who knows that's kind of cool. We'll see I Do you think it's go public was another exit strategy? Do you think it's something he's intrinsically interested in or do you think he's struggling to find things that are interested in and is doing a Fairly classic maneuver of I'll do what dad does Hard to say he definitely because Kids young. Oh, yeah, he's young. He might just be playing around like I just totally fair. I was way less Driven to do anything when I was his age then he appears to be I mean I didn't try to do anything that my dad did even yet. He's got some of on. Yeah. Oh, definitely. Yeah, he's like But he's the 50 50 and then the next one is mine And the next one is Yvonne's Like we just kind of the the preschool teacher who had all of them So I think there's only one teacher. No, there's actually two now but before there was there was one teacher who got all of them for preschool and About a week into my youngest's first term I'm dropping her off in the morning and she kind of goes you kind of pulls me says boy. Did you ever get a variety pack? Yes, we did yes, we did Okay I'm a dev I work on my own projects, but I feel like I'm running out of time But I'm afraid about going live or selling How did you deal with anxiety of starting running and maintaining LTT? Nike Just do it. Oh, no, never mind. I thought you're making a running joke. Nope. Nope. Just you just do it ship it We don't really Spend much time in pre-production for anything That's not fair. I'm gonna mean what do you mean? That's not we do you guys spent a lot of time in pre-production for air table Months That's a lot of time six. Yeah, there boom boom. He's got nothing. I definitely have stuff Founding you can talk about whatever you want. It's a free country It was one person Reconstructing the entire communication and process system for the entire company six months was not enough It would have it could have either taken more time or more people, but we had a point We had a point where it was like the value proposition of continuing to spend time on this doesn't really fit how you said Time not man hours objectively. I am correct six months Objectively man hours is not the term anymore of time that this is true, but you understood me and the point of language CW does that's fair. Yeah, they really do think they're the only ones they spent three years in pre-production of a screwdriver This be real clearly. We ain't rushing them All right, so the website is the worst. I mean, I think that you just got a Okay, you don't want to do reputational damage by launching something that's not ready You also have to just get stuff out there, but you also yeah, you have to ship is it usable Yeah, will it be useful for anyone? Will it be worth the asking price for anyone if the answer is yes, then don't oversell it Say what it is say who it's for and as you continue to refine it You can say what more it is and what more people it's for and you can grow from there Maybe I don't know what your product is. So you want you want a big spike of inspiration get those first user tickets coming in Yeah, get it in front of people and see if people care at all because if they don't that's good to know stop working on it Stop wasting your time Yeah, but if they do and then they're like, oh man, this is cool Doesn't really work because of X and Y reasons, but it's cool Then you can fix X and Y reasons and then keep going. What is the new term for man hours people hours human hours? I think it's labor resource. Oh, stop it. I Mean, that's my favorite. I've generally said people hours people hours. Okay, so what if dogs working on it? Being hours that would be part of labor resource organism hours That's close, but yeah Feels like kind of a basic thing to call it though Oh age Work hours Work hours work. That makes more sense. The problem with work hours is a lot of people associate it with An individual. Yeah, and de is illegal really say so it's man hours now And they cost 30% more They give me 245% more. Oh, I like billable hours Billable hours is pretty good, but it's generally in a contracting sense. I like labor You don't generally Afa says if a dog's a Labrador it could be lab And if a dog's a shitsuit could be shit hours, I mean, oh, I don't need to bleep that cuz it's a dog It's a dog. It's not a swear word. It's a dog. And if you tell me I need to bleep it. That's poppycock. I Don't think most people are gonna understand that this is like actually a word what poppycock, isn't it? Well, you act like they've never seen a titmouse before Or just a tit Or a bony-ass fish Human capital, thanks, that's great too human capital is pretty good human labor resource suffering capital How many hours in the wagey cage does this Hasn't converted you to a salary employee yet with no overtime No, this is my Corpo training showing We took courses on abusing employees and you can only be in a wagey cage if you're getting an hourly wage He's he's getting You've been paying I'm an hourly plenty of overtime. Oh, no, I know I meant you're not oh, yeah Yeah, I'm not paying for as of like three or four hours ago. I think. Oh, yeah, whatever. Yeah I like on average work like 12 to 14 hours on Fridays alone Yeah, I didn't work a 14 hour day today just because of other reasons Yeah, that's what he's currently on that grind. Yeah, boy. It's fun. I mean you guys do it watch him I think I've been have I ever gotten overtime. I think I've been sorry forever. Did I uh, hold on not realistic I don't know If it ever happened, it wasn't real. Yeah Yeah, truthfully, I don't know I don't think so I doubt it because who Who would have logged in? Yeah, you should join a union The other thing is if you if you follow the standard rules Then you like context you wouldn't be allowed to work That time that Luke got cancelled instead of me There's a long story behind that don't worry about it Should I explain it I can explain it I Don't care. I worked at one union job. I just like that you're cancelled instead of me You should He's not gonna let me now. Yeah, I worked at one union job ever The job was fine. The people I worked with at the plant was fine. It was it was a bread factory My brother had worked there previously and a lot of the workers there that knew him were were very cool with me They liked my brother, but the union rep hated him Hated him so the union rep took it out on me. I can't imagine why anyone would ever get into it with your brother To be clear about love rich But I could imagine that I understand it it's almost like the LaFrenier boys Being a little hot headed in common. I was gonna say I understand it because I understand it for me as well We are somewhat alike in that way But yeah, and he would take it out on me by by just screwing with me with schedule Because the union rep set the schedule and it was like a war and my actual boss man guy at work couldn't do anything about it And it was super annoying Luke Nukem the union buster. I'm not a union buster at all my brother was in the Teamsters union when he worked for the movies and That sounded and seemed pretty cool And now he's in the firefighters union and the firefighters union is amazing. Yeah, if you can get in yeah, but there does appear to be Some potentially union related factors that make it very difficult to get in that's also a problem. There's that yes What Luke is trying to say is that they are not perfect? No, there's ups and downs and they have they there's points in history where like oh dear God if they didn't exist things would have been bad, but they're not they're not always universally good Anyways More Why not? Hey, LTD and first time buyer greetings from Mexico sup what percentage of orders do you guys get from Latin American countries? The last time I got one of your products was the original gangster screwdriver from Amazon nice That is a good question. I do not know I Can tell you that right now there are 155 visitors on the site there are at least three of them in a Mexico To in Brazil currently visiting you're talking about yeah on the site right now Those are the Latin company companies countries. I am most familiar with No one else in anywhere in South America though Part of that's probably The almost almost nothing in Europe right now, but I think that's quite time zone related because Europe and Australia usually light up Pretty good when there's a lot of people on the site. Yeah, they were earlier in the show. Yeah, that makes sense Yeah, so I don't know that's that based on a sample size of a hundred fifty a Few oh one more in Brazil just now the little The little Shopify dashboard has a little like like a little arrow that comes out from your location to the To the dot that it makes so if all y'all in Brazil Okay, if all y'all go to the site right now, it'll be like To your location in Brazil, so let's see how many Brazilians are watching How real-time is this? I think it's quite real-time Il maher was there Objectively annoying to everyone both sides of the aisle I Mean the visitors going up right now is going to like yeah, it's going up But I don't think any of them are in Brazil. It's no it's a bunch of North Americans. It's oh, there we go. Oh Okay, well, I don't know the little animation only goes sometimes I don't know if you guys saw that but it went to like Somewhere in the Eastern United States just now. Oh Wait, no no no no yeah, there's more dots Yeah, there's more dots, but it didn't make the little pee-pee-pee thing So there's like I don't know another like seven people see a bunch like down. Yeah, I see it Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, that's also just getting darker. There's also a bunch of people who seem confused That is not Brazil right there at the top there That's Peru according to my risk map Well, I told only the Brazilians. Oh, yeah, and some of these have hair I Heard Dan like physically react to that. I just Nothing Ignore me Evening whansters question for Luke any updates on setting up the mainline ID LLM integration for the development team wouldn't the 100k server with its NVIDIA a 100s be the perfect fit for this job We're just using those new Macs I think they were just trying to get you to pressure me to buy a $100,000 server. Oh, no, we're just gonna do that which would No, we're not no no, we're not that would not have worked. Well, however It could have I don't even have to ask you if Supermicro wanted to like sponsor something or whatever like to ask you lend us one What do you mean you don't have to ask me? I thought it's hard to tear it. What is your approval limit? I would talk to Terry. No, I think that's above his approval limit You have to go to the shareholders at a certain point. Does he have an approval 100,000 up? I actually need to write this down if you do give me a number. Yeah, because I'm working on that right now Yeah, there's like a good little automations and stuff. Yeah, are you just calling them? Karen, I don't mind bugging supposed to do meetings about this Billable hours nice all right Then he has to do time off in Lou. Hey, you're live on the WAN Show Yeah, yeah, it's every Friday Yeah, you should probably know that if you like are the CEO of the company you know, it's about the same thing too So remember I called you before and I was asking about my approval limit for purchase requests Yeah, yeah, we were talking about that again. What is your approval limit? I Was just talking to a vulnerable guy yesterday, so you have to go out this week Okay, but you don't actually know you don't know he didn't have one. I have it as an affinity signal I got in trouble by the time when we're doing consumer research and you weren't super happy about the amount of money I spent So the words were I'm okay with a run rate spend anything else I'd like to be at least consulted even though you have discretion in terms of where you should spend money even though I might disagree That sounds like something I would say that sounds pretty reasonable. Yeah, okay, and how much was that consumer research that? Because I refused to say on the show before Which is why he's trying to ask you now. Yeah, I was gonna say it but I had I legitimately just forgot how much it was So, okay, cool. Well, it's a good thing you dodged that bullet. Make sure you let me know how much that Pretty good actually, I think you're getting better at this. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Aaron I'm amazed that they're actually gonna have conversations about that this week. This must have spurred some Accounting conversations. That's probably after talking to CEDO. Okay, well, we'll have to get you guys an update on that What gets measured gets managed, right? Yeah, and then automated so nobody ever has to think about it again. Yeah, that's Luke's that's Luke's MO sick I've adopted that thinking is bad. I hate doing Terrible should ever think again Hurtie Just before anyone freaks out because I feel like we're gonna get canceled for the second time like 10 minutes. No Not the approach. We're just trying to make it so that people don't have to think about like small meaningless things that don't matter I have spent six months thinking really hard so that I don't have to think for like five seconds Yeah, but then you compound that across everyone in the company. Yeah I was looking for budget laptops and found your video last month Why did you break budget at the end when the idea originally felt like you were reviewing options for people that can't make enough? I was looking for budget laptops. Why did you break budget at the end? Are you talking about the one where we looked at the at the top selling laptops because we didn't have a budget on that one? We were just looking at the top selling ones And the reason that we included the MacBook was because it was one of the top selling ones And we thought it was really interesting that it was three or four times the price or whatever it was and We had you had to go to like the number 25th selling item to find a PC that was priced anywhere near it So we thought it was really interesting that PC buyers buy these crappy crappy computers and then Think that PCs kind of suck But they're willing to spend a decent amount of money on a Mac on like a lot of money on a really nice Mac And then they're like oh Macs are good, and I just thought that was an interesting conversation. That was Yeah, I Don't I don't think it was a matter of like breaking breaking budget We just wanted to talk about that the top selling the most popular laptops Why they're the top selling most popular laptops in the case of the PCs It was because they're cheap and we thought it was really interesting that in the case of the Mac It was for a different reason it was because of the brand value that Apple has built by never building cheap crappy machines Well, at least not cheap ones anyway Yeah Mark my PC cut fire while gaming Oh, the power cord melted and arched until I got an extinguisher Couldn't unplug due to the fire and arcing blocking the UPS what causes a cord to melt after nine years power supply exhaust I would have to imagine The only thing I can think of would be a loose connection Like if you had a loose connection that could heat up the housing and if the housing heated up and melted enough That those conductors could get close enough. It could arc That's the only explanation that springs to mind for me, but I am not an expert on this Hmm Hello DLL for Linus whatever happened in the end with your pool contractor I know the pool is finished, but how did the conversation end the conversation ended with us having paid way too much money it having taken way too long and Us basically saying Look, we still owe you a little bit of money not nearly enough for how much work you have outstanding But we never want to speak to you again. We are not giving you any more money and you are never coming here again We don't expect warranty coverage because quite frankly, you'd probably break it more anyway. Goodbye Sounds reasonable for how long that whole thing dragged out like I Think that's probably the best they could have hoped for we could have sued them We decided that it was a waste of money and time and we have better things to do But we would have quite easily gotten a settlement Because they did stuff that was just brazenly illegal in their billing and stuff Thanks for the great products I think Apple Silicon would make better Nintendo gaming devices than the switch to should Apple buy Nintendo What do you think that would do to Apple gaming? Wow? I was with you there and then you went you were on the rails And you went I curated this one immediately No Apple should not buy Nintendo I can't think of any two companies whose cultures are more different and yet Reach such similar outcomes. Yeah Tim Marriott the horseshoe problem. They've they both are companies with like wild stocks of cash Yeah stores of cash. Yeah stockpiles stockpiles of cash No, no Apple should not buy That would do nothing for Apple gaming it would continue to be Nintendo gaming And Apple would continue not caring about gaming. That's another thing Apple would never buy Nintendo as for whether Apple Silicon would make a better Nintendo gaming device than the switch to I mean that's There might be an argument there. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think we've seen a Like for like comparison between NVIDIA's latest GPUs and Apple's now It's also gonna be really because of DLSS. We really need to see the effects. Yeah Like it's the switch to is honestly gonna be an incredibly interesting device to evaluate Despite being not an incredibly interesting device I'm interested in that one. Why are you so interested in though? It's like the least it's the switch, but like better Yeah, which is not interesting, but it's everything. That's it's less crappy stuff being less crappy. It's pretty interesting to me in current year Oh, I feel that hard that hurt That hurt my soul a little bit. Oh, oh God. Oh, he's so right. We're coming out of six Is he wrong though About how exciting it was that you can walk into a store and buy a GPU for over MSRP for $10 over MSRP It's only $10 over price. Oh my goodness. I hate current year. I say that so much Oh, I want to go home No Okay, let's just keep going Hello LTT I'm curious about your swear policy. What would you classify as quote-unquote bleepable? I sometimes hear you hear your stream and Videos say things I thought would have been bleeped out, but ours pretty frequent. I mean mistakes. Yeah, sometimes we just you know pull a boner And we accidentally don't bleep something that probably should have been bleeped also the like the rules around swearing are Sort of nebulous and complicated like South Park did a really funny episode. It hits the fan where they sort of poked fun at censorship rules and like how it was, you know Depending on the the usage of the word which we generally do bleep regardless of the usage It was like, okay. That's right with the sensors or it wasn't depending on whether it was like used as an adjective or I forget I forget the exact reasons But mr. Garrison like stands on the at the board and sort of explains what you are and what you're not allowed to say It's also evolved over time Like I and and it's and it's region-specific to like for example over over here Cuck is generally considered to be like probably bleepable, but maybe not and then like Dick is like Some people are like, oh my god, I can't believe I can't believe you didn't bleep Dick whereas I just kind of I'm like Yeah, no one cares here so Yeah, someone in chat said Aussie's in the C word. Yeah. Yeah, like all the C words like like Yeah, big deal. No, no up here. Yeah, I don't even say it like off-camera. No. Yeah, and then it's Yeah, so conversation down there. It's just it's just a different like Societies will determine if they're it's all just noises we make with her face Societies will determine which ones are cool and which ones aren't yeah So, I mean, you know for us, I'd say, you know the things that We don't use it all whether the camera's rolling or not, you know, you've got your n-word, right? Things that we use and bleep, you know, that's you're like you're You know That sort of thing and things that we just kind of let slide is like you're being a real ass about the situation Damn it If you add hole to the end of it, it becomes worse and I think yeah, that is bleeped on TV But just the front section is not but if you say them together, that's really bad. Yeah That's interesting. I Think that's our current Censorship laws, I can't quite remember. Oh, yeah chat. That's why I smiled Jay Jay Christo 8 says bollocks and wankers Would probably never be on British TV, but here it's hilarious. Oh, yeah It's like funny because bollocks because it sounds so British or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, definitely you swear And like I wouldn't care at all if it was in my non-native tongue. So like like You know, like as a French word who cares, right? All right, carry on Let's see LDL fixed my son's RC car resoldering parts on the board He watched and got the spark in quotes of wanting to learn Linus What is a dad moment where you saw that your kids have that childlike curiosity? Oh, it's been really cool watching the girls Get really into the 3d printer. I think They like all of a sudden wanted to like sign up for lessons and like learn computer stuff Before that they mostly were just like used it as a gaming box. So that was pretty cool Watching watching little man the Not just genuinely Deeply curious, but actually like have good questions and seem to like care and want to learn more and get more out of it Oh, yeah, we attended a tour together. Are we allowed to say where we toured? Yeah. Okay. We went to NASA. Yeah Luke arranged everything and I Asked my son because like usually I don't really do vacation Like I don't go anywhere like when I get time off the thing that I'd rather do more than anything else in the world It's just sit And do nothing and think about nothing But in this case Luke invited me out of as a courtesy even though he knew I probably wasn't gonna go and I was like Oh, that would probably be really interesting for my son. The girls are still a little young for that I think it would have been a lot for them and I especially think that now that it's done because it was a lot of walking and a lot of knowledge dumps, but he had an absolute blast and unintended and Asked so I thought some really salient questions He did which was surprising to me it demonstrated. He was really paying attention and thinking about it and You know given how shy he was when he was very very little. It was cool to see him speak up in a group setting So yeah, lots of moments. I mean as a parent They're gonna come constantly. There was a bit of trust there too because like It's not generally a tour you bring kids on like you're not that generally necessarily allowed because there's areas you're going to that are like They're not kid friendly. No if you're around it's like a problem. Yeah Like for other people too like it's a safety concern. Yeah But there was there was some trust there and he was totally good the whole time. Oh, yeah He's a great kid unflinchingly good, which was great Are there any new sticker sets coming? Yes I've bought a case which has three fans in the front behind an acrylic panel with zero air flow Any suggestions on how to approve mesh so I have something in front and avoid limbs getting stuck if I cut it I can't believe the timing of this Okay, so first of all you can cut a hole and then you can drill some holes And then you can buy a little mesh fan filters But but that's not actually what I want to talk about what I want to talk about is that we're collabing with NASA to answer the question of How far does a fan need to be from a panel to work effectively cool? And they've got like the science for it. It's gonna be really cool. That's awesome. Yeah, I was talking to Adam about it today I'm like super excited. That's sweet That's freaking awesome because there's so many applications where you want to know that like how high does your computer case have to be off The floor before that power supply fans not effective. Yeah, what about if you have a vertical GPU mount? How close does it have to be from the side panel before those fans are really impeded also the front fans? And I think I came up with one other scenario So yeah, it's gonna be awesome That's sick actually Hey, dynasty you can land. How do you? Draw the line on how much internal information to show I Feel like your transparency bites you in the ass more often than it helps you for me A big part of my problem is that I am not detail-oriented enough to lie even if I wanted to Honesty honesty by incompetency. It really is the best policy to tell the truth and To And to it's so much more legit than people understand That's why we love them and to apply To apply a basic set of principles in a way that is consistent can be consistently remembered and Uplied and accounted for And by by saying things publicly I create a system where that accountability is inherent Because once you say something publicly you are in my humble opinion bound to it So a lot of the time I share this internal information that ends up biting me in the butt Because in a certain sense I kind of want it to if If I ever changed my story in the future if that kind of makes sense There are ways that it has bit me in the butt that I haven't wanted it to like when people make assumptions like that I you know did lie or Something when actually I just like told you guys what it was and I don't know you drew your own conclusions because you got like mental Problems or something I thought you were just collecting aspect marks like trophies or achievements or something They match the tattoo and like I My tattoo is just My other tattoo is Sometimes I can be logical to a fault but also highly emotional if that makes sense and so that Logicalness in terms of my course of action I think Both the logical and emotional side of me think that if I behave in a way that is Logical that that should make sense to other people and that they should more clearly be able to assess My motivations and predict my future actions. So, you know to me for something like the trust me bro warranty Let's look at that The logical case that I laid out pretty clearly is that if I ever fucked it up. I would get put up on a stake, right and then and then Spit roasted over a fire, right because I'm a public figure So if I were to you know go around screwing people over on the warranty coverage of their products They would it would make the loudest possible noise and be the juiciest possible gossip and so to me That made the logical part the logical part of my brain went so this should be pretty obvious that I as not an idiot Would not screw this up because it would basically be the end of my career But then like I Don't know I guess the I guess some part of me missed the part where other people just like do stuff anyway that they shouldn't and don't seem To face consequences and people have lived through that over and over and over again so there so that trust is eroded on a broader scale which has nothing to do with me and You know that's something that like doesn't easily compute for me It's something that I struggled with it also Emotionally is really frustrating right because You know to me something can be kind of black and white. It's like yeah No, obviously we wouldn't do that because that would be really dumb But some people legitimately seem to think that I'm actually very dumb And so they will tend to assume like the dumbest possible course of action even though I Don't really think I've you know given any reason I don't think that's necessarily fair. Oh, there's definitely some Yes, okay. Yes, sure, but I don't think as a whole that's necessarily fair No, I bet you with a lot of people they're going with the route that we've told them to do whether they've seen that or not I don't know, but it's the don't trust companies thing. I think sometimes you overestimate how many people Watch enough. Oh sure like they know you and there's also cultural differences Like one of the one of the big things that I saw with the whole warranty thing was places where they have strong consumer protection laws and strong Mechanisms to hold companies accountable for their warranty policies right here. We don't have that. Yeah, I know you literally have to like Take the company to court. Yeah at a great deal of personal time and expense You won't it pretty much boils down to the company's willingness to do anything for you But there are parts of the world where That is different and some of those people were legitimately very upset in like a like a personal value Way that that I would see it any way other than that Okay, you know, that's fair enough, right and you know, obviously we went in we like created a policy before we actually ever sold a backpack But you know for some reason like that's still, you know a huge problem Even though the conversation people on that the poorly the poorly worded explanation that I gave for why we didn't have a policy yet Which by the way was still before we ever sold a backpack That's that part is very often forgotten very often forgotten That was the truth and that transparency bit me in the butt big time because I didn't do a good job of explaining it And wasn't well packaged. No, it was extremely poorly packaged and I'm gonna keep doing it In conclusion, which is based we have we have an interview coming up on Floatplane Checking in on Teran's first two years. So that's Sammy sat down with me and Teran and asked us some questions and We are unflinching in our responses and You know, we touch on some potentially even challenging and uncomfortable subjects And I think it's gonna be really great for the community even if it you know Airs our internal laundry a little bit more than most companies would but I think that's part of what makes us really special I feel like the watch rate percentage for that video of Internal employees. Oh, well the amount of people that watch that with the Linus account alone. Oh Yeah, that's gonna be nuts. I'll watch it. It genuinely sounds really interesting. I Ask him why he hasn't moved here yet Hmm Well, I don't really ask him so much as I point it pointed out Because Tim Hortons is bad. I don't yeah, I don't blame him. We need to fix it. It has to be fixed I know it has to be fixed. I can't afford to buy it. We can't afford to buy it. You could buy it It's worth billions of dollars start a new one. Just take on alone. You literally know how much money I have What are you even talking about? What if he made what if he made Linus Sebastian's It's a terrible name for a restaurant. Really is a terrible name No, he's got time for Linus Sebastian's That's not the worst it jingles fairly well. Yeah, that's a Tim Hortons jingle. I know. Oh, okay. Yeah All right, let's carry on Sebastian's has you when he sebs we've got that's a that's a scary Sebastian's is not that bad. Sebastian's has you. Yeah, they have you bro creepy Trust them trust us It's fresh Minus and loose is not bad actually. Hey, I like it LL's coffee bar. Yeah. Oh We could have like a we could have like a chilled juice bar. We could call it LL Cool J's Oh Okay, got a couple more for you here. Yo buying a backpack for my GF Are there any of the fun colors for the screwdriver knock to a retro coming back also Luke as a gym rat What's your favorite lift in PR? Oh? I don't PR because I'm old and broken so I You do it a special PR my five. Yeah, I do my I do minimum sets of five my my best for that's to 25 bench probably but uh, no That's the one I'm most proud of like grinding out But probably my relative best was like a long time ago and I haven't pushed it in a in a minute But there was a there's a point in time that for work reasons I had a lot of pent up feels and my dad was also there and that pushes me to try really hard and Not that far into my fitness journey. I hit 335 squat for five or six and the bar was bouncing I scared one of the ladies in the gym because I work at a community gym and not a big lifter gym big lifter gym Nobody would care at all But she was like the bars gonna break and I was like, no, it's fine But that was a very cool moment. Um, that has to feel really good. It was amazing. I wish you could frame moments It was fantastic It's so ego boosting and then I had to remember that like It's not like an incredible amount, but anyways my favorite one's probably I think they're called eccentric accentuated skull crushers. I'm sure you remember those Oh, those are still my favorite After I figured out after I figured out the muscle brain to do them But you you lay flat down on a bench you take a fixed bar I've done it with barbells now because those the fixed bars are too. Yeah, look at too strong I need the weenie hut junior bars But you you go ARM straight up and then slightly back so that your your return position or your resting position It's still loaded and then you have to come down for three seconds To behind your head is generally where I go and then fire up and you have to do that for 12 times And it feels great your triceps just After you figure out that the motion is throwing the bar over you. Yeah, it feels so it feels so good It feels very functional weird. It's great. Try it. It's very good Let's have an ends justify the means conversation real quick Okay, Denoli 444 says By Tim Hortons just rip us off with a meme coin and use that to finance it It's 2025 make Canada great again. Would that justify a rug pole if we bought Tim Hortons back for Canada The purpose of the rug pole is by is buying Tim Hortons. We're gonna not coin We did for the screwdriver what we're gonna do for Canada's fast food. It's gonna be the best It'll be a nine point. We're gonna be a nine point to this donut With the flesh driver They'll actually make the doughnuts in store again All right, sorry as for the as for the other fun colors of the screwdriver My goal in the long term is that you can configure your screwdriver like Xbox controllers and Get any color combination you want, but we are really far away from that right now and any movement that we make towards diversifying our Distribution centers to make it easier to address other parts of the world if it gets more challenging to sell into the US is Gonna set back projects like that because there'd have to be a whole setup and you'd have to have inventory of all these different colors And stuff be a real challenge Okay, last one I've got for you tonight I have a question for one and a half of the Lafaynier boys just one half Oh for one half of the Lafaynier boys or my eyes are going now our I'm not one of them Our company's dev teams don't have access to prod and are forced to do everything in testing environments Is this normal in the dev world to pee again? It kind of depends on your company. So you curate this one. No wait. Yes Okay, I forgot. I didn't think I did but I know I think that's okay No, it's so like at our comp. Yeah, it most companies. No most companies you'll have a Select group of people that have access to it and updates have to go through them. It is not very Super normal, especially at at sizable teams or non startups or teams that are actually properly in production for just everybody be able to Directly access prod and I don't think you should take that as an insult I think you should take that as like a hooray. I don't have this soul-crushing level of responsibility Of security it took me like what it may be a year and a half Maybe more before I was able to access the like wancho prod stuff that I do before the show because that's not a horrific amount of responsibility Yeah Yeah, and it's and it's not it's not for me to just make an oops I think Dan is gonna screw up so he can't access the thing the biggest part of it is actually like oh One of Dan's account gets compromised or if I just make a mistake Oh that yeah, you know people to just accidentally miss it some rigor behind your your understanding of the process and how things work Because that's a touchy the same to touchy dashboard And there's really no confirmation It's really not a lot stopping you from making pretty big mistakes So it yeah, I don't know it's no I wouldn't say it's super normal unless you have a very small team And like you know some of my teams are in that range So some of my teams basically everyone can touch broad, but they're still usually process involved To make sure that there's visibility on it stuff like that But I don't think the goal should be for everyone to be able to touch prod I know There was one conversation I was near at one point in time where two people had a certain company were bickering back and forth and the one of What one of them used there? I'm able to push things to prod as like as a as a as a card to play against the other and that felt icky But I do still think it's generally a better idea to have these updates filter through a smaller group of people So that pushes to prod can be controlled should also be a cultural thing where you don't want to have access to prod Yeah, because then there's a pressure. Yeah, you know liability. Yeah, yes And that be that liability and managing that liability ends up being a significant part of those people's jobs Because now they're like reviewing everything that's going up and making sure it's good and blah blah blah blah blah and that's that's like what they do now and if you just want to build things It might not be the best way to do that Anyways, I think we're good See you again next week Same bedtime same bad channel. I can't even press it. Mine is this button. You gotta Bye I Did 13 miles"}
