1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,320
My computer like now stream going live now. I need stuff now. Yeah, that's yeah, I get it because they're scared of incoming prices

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,320
Yep

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,220
Dah 58 teen says just start the damn show. I mean we would have loved to yeah

4
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:21,920
My plan was to go home at a reasonable time today trust me. I'm interested in starting the show

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,760
It just hasn't quite worked out that way and now I have to go to the washroom nice. Yeah, turn the bucket

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,760
What do I look like to you a bird

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,720
Got some old newspaper some old I mean now you got my attention

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,360
If you can even find news because I have the funnies on it

9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,640
Yeah, how'd we've kept your old car together?

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Oh, did we get a new shock mount because that one that I had when we did the firetruck stream was terrible

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,520
It's a different type of shock now. No, these ones are specific for these mics and the other one was a knot

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,720
And because you you grabbed the mic and moved it around. I think it just ripped the I barely touched it

13
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,480
It like yeah, yeah, you I think you saw it. I did

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,440
This is that's the specific re20. Yeah shock mount. Yeah, I only have one

15
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,280
I can't believe we have not started the show yet

16
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Yeah about an hour

17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I'm just gonna global mute You

18
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Mikes are back live

19
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Are you okay, sir? No, why?

20
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Yeah, well

21
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,120
I'm sorry that

22
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,280
I don't know there's so many things there's so many things to do. Well, that's what time it is

23
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:28,800
I'm going to try to talk again, I guess cool. It's not working on YouTube what?

24
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,240
Huh, no

25
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Really really what it's not working on YouTube. I'm stunned outstanding. I'm appalled

26
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,240
We're gonna have to call John YouTube and explain no don't say his name

27
00:02:53,240 --> 00:03:00,080
I Call him gonna come in here like the Kool-Aid man

28
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Sammy get off the lioness account. What are you doing?

29
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Lots on oblivion remaster leaks. I think they're big freaking jerks

30
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,080
That's what I think and I'm not buying it

31
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160
No, Dan you have to buy it not yeah

32
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:28,900
Yes, why do they just make a new game? I

33
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,000
Don't know if I want them to Concerned as well. Maybe just leave it

34
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Maybe just close the whole studio. I don't know wasn't there like another team of mod people who are like gonna make one

35
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Yeah, that's why I'm not buying it. That's why I'm mad Why don't you just play like the new re-release of Skyrim or something? I don't know

36
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Stop you broken the law the the mod team doing the oblivion thing looks amazing. That looks incredible

37
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Yeah, it looks like they actually cared. Yeah, they do. Yeah, sure. Yeah, and then Bethesda was like get sued into oblivion

38
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Oh, I didn't mean to make that one. I'm sorry. It's pretty good. I didn't pick up on it

39
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:16,320
I didn't know it was not intentional really good. So I'm not giving myself a ding for that because the like best one probably of the night

40
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Didn't even go noticed

41
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Oh, I'm gonna get something to snack you deserve it. You earned it

42
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,720
By the way, I finally watched your smash champs video hilarious

43
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Yeah

44
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,480
Very funny

45
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,600
Because I made the Sisyphus joke and then Sammy clapped back immediately with

46
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Another joke based on that and it was just went straight over my head like that man is so smart

47
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:10,360
I think he said one must imagine Dan happy. Yeah, yeah straight over my head. Yeah, absolutely genius

48
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,560
I thought that was really funny. So cool That was pretty great

49
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:19,520
Yeah, there's a lot of zingers in there, dude, it was it was a very fun

50
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,880
It's I'm not used to working with like

51
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
He's not really video guy

52
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,340
It was great, dude, you just trying to climb into the bucket that said it was only for Jim Dowell's

53
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Man, I enjoyed the whole thing. It was great

54
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
That's perfect

55
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,400
All right

56
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:01,440
How's it going chat They always pre-show on twitch. Yeah, technically

57
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,520
We don't normally read your chat though. We only really care about the

58
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,880
People call them floaters. I thought it was cooler when we called them pilots

59
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,960
But they seem to have embraced the name floaters more

60
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
seems weird

61
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Oh You see they're making a new runescape. Do you mean the game that released?

62
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,080
There you're talking about

63
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240
Did you go to the Johnson Space Center with Linus? No, we went to Houston

64
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,400
Game stop is bringing back midnight release for the switch to

65
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Sick See that's cool, but I'm not gonna do it. I think which sucks, but I got to stand on my gotta stand on my principles

66
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,720
I'm buying it from willow

67
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960
If you live in the

68
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,840
Lower mainland you should go to willow video in Langley

69
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,800
You should go there those guys been around forever. They're great so long dude, and they are great

70
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Have you ever looked at first robotics? Yeah, of course

71
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,520
You know full well when switch to releases it'll be in your hands. No it won't unless willow sells it. What's up, Sammy?

72
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,360
What's up, dawg? What a big dawg cuz we're very competent

73
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:47,320
Reven tech and delicious. I've made when late. I don't it wasn't you. I don't think wait man

74
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,240
It's what are you talking about damn tries to take blame for things sometimes when it's not his fault

75
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,840
There's only three people here. You guys didn't do anything. How is it only us?

76
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Cardboard with desiccated sugar berries. I'm good. Thank you. Bye, Sammy

77
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:25,720
It is funnier when Dan takes the limb I agree are we ready? I think so

78
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:36,080
Yeah, it looks like it's nice and stable now, and then I perf has passed master. Yeah, so AJ just now

79
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,720
What the heck did he message you oh

80
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Yes, he did my phone just gave me a notification five minutes late because I hate modern technology, but

81
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,920
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

82
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Properly diving into this will take more time in the future, but this is what we got for now

83
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,520
We have some we'll send it root cause but yeah, we've got a band-aid. Yeah

84
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,080
You want to finish your

85
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,880
Whatever you called it, which was good, but I can't remember desiccated cardboard with with dried dried berries berries or something

86
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,880
And maybe almond slices

87
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Nice do you like them no

88
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,780
Desperate yep

89
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,400
There's a high priority notification mode you can use yep, I do

90
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,280
I Still doesn't work. I've had teams give me a notification that was over a year old before

91
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960
Happens my phone barely

92
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,360
Consistently uses the alarms properly

93
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,320
Why why do I why do I bother I?

94
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Don't ever set one alarm for anything anymore. Oh, yeah, I got like eight. Yeah, I have that issue. I

95
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Don't sleep through alarms anymore. That's nice. I don't know when that decided to end but very happy that it did

96
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Very naughty him before yes, yeah

97
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,120
Yeah

98
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,200
No, it's American sign language. That's why it costs so much to use it. I can only use three signs

99
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
All right, let's do this thing

100
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,240
By twitch

101
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,520
All right, oh, I guess I'll just do the thing

102
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,440
Shoot I did actually sign into the thing Nice. Oh, did we figure out what was the right?

103
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,640
Like way to go live in terms of like the delay. I

104
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Don't think so

105
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:25,080
Think teams is bad my company's using Cisco WebEx. Yeah, that's rough. I feel sorry for you on that one

106
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Why I do like the new teams update actually that might be controversial

107
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Have you tried it I like that it's higher density or you just heard that a lot lately

108
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,800
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

109
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,120
No, yeah, I've of course, but it's a little more compact. Yeah, you got to do that

110
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,240
I'm still upset that in v2. They remove the ability to get direct links to individual chats

111
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Which means that I can't make bots very well anymore

112
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Can't just copy and paste the link to the chat. It's all like in line

113
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Must be using some Magical technology like a modern web tech or something

114
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Okay, should we do this thing sure um, all right close that

115
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Republishing

116
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,520
I'm resuming the selected I guess I'll just pick a random time to start talking neat

117
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Yeah, well, that's what I did last week

118
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,960
What's up, everybody welcome to the Wancho we got a great show lined up for you this week

119
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,000
We'll be talking about a company that is under fire for

120
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
anti-consumer behavior and

121
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,800
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

122
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,760
Number of years ago. Yeah, that's right. My friends will be talking about this

123
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,600
That's right. My friends will also be talking about the RTX 50 60 love

124
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,360
That happened this week and the silver lining of it because

125
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,520
The good news is the RTX 50 60 and 50 60 ti are not the only budget GPUs out there

126
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,840
And there are other ones that you can get for a reasonable price near MSRP right now

127
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:58,600
What else we got going on this week? discord trials face scans to verify your age, which

128
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Means that if you want to look at something not safe for work, you have to show them who you are first

129
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:10,640
That's cool. That's cute. And also there's some companies that have done good things over the

130
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:18,640
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

131
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,880
By popular demand the shipstorm sale event has been extended

132
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,800
We've been offering free shipping on all orders over a hundred fifty dollars on LTT Store this week it

133
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,240
Wait, what's going on right now? Oh, it ends tomorrow at midnight

134
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:41,200
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?

135
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Now you have until Tuesday got it April 22nd at 10 a.m.

136
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Pacific Time to get free shipping on all orders over at one hundred fifty dollars and there's more

137
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,760
You can get our magnetic cable management essential solution for 70 bucks off. So that's that's the big kit there and

138
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,160
And we're also taking ten dollars off our MCM starter kit. So that's not only 15 bucks

139
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,000
Okay, but we'll get whatever just we'll talk about that more later

140
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:31,280
The show is brought to you today by net data proton and

141
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Delete me also, of course our rap partner dbrand our laptop partner Dell and our chair partner secret lab

142
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,760
Alright, let's jump right into our headline topic this week a name

143
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,480
I have not spoken the name of in quite some time

144
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,400
Synology Hexos NAS operating system disclosure

145
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:02,280
So I recently invested in the creation of a user-friendly NAS software that

146
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,800
You can just install on your own hardware without being locked into someone's hardware ecosystem

147
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,080
That's gonna be relevant in a moment. First. Let's talk about what happened a couple of days ago

148
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,580
Synologies plus series of NAS systems

149
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,200
No longer allowed the use of non-synology or non

150
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,940
Certified drives to get the full set of features on their NAS

151
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:33,240
Instead hard drives. Yeah, instead customers will be required to buy the company's branded hard drives

152
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,400
Which by the way, if you've ever

153
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:42,120
Yeah, if you know anything about company branded hard drives like HP hard drives

154
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:51,520
HP doesn't make hard drives at all And so typically these these vendor locked hard drives are just normal hard drives

155
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,880
but with a custom firmware on them and a sticker that

156
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,420
Locks them so that you have to pay to you have to buy them directly from the vendor

157
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,960
Users that choose to use non-certified drives

158
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,760
They'll still work and they'll still be able to store data, but apparently they will lose the following

159
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,040
showing estimated drive health reports

160
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,240
volume-wide deduplication lifespan analysis

161
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,080
automatic firmware updates and more

162
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:28,680
2024 and older models of Synologies plus series will apparently not be affected by this change, but new devices will have this feature

163
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:37,040
Enabled there apparently is already a workaround if you set up your unsupported drives in an older

164
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:42,880
Synology NAS Then migrate them over they will not be locked out of those features

165
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280
according to Tom's hardware, which

166
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Proves that this is absolutely not a hardware feature and is 100% a software lock

167
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,800
Yeah, that's garbage. Yeah, that is that is absolute trash garbage

168
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,520
And yeah, I think that's I think that's pretty I think that's pretty poopy in

169
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,440
In general, I've not been like a huge fan of Synology NAS

170
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,720
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?

171
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Yeah, yeah, okay. I was super into Windows home server. Yeah, I

172
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,240
Loved it. It was easy to manage with a full graphical UI

173
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,720
It had a brain-dead simple interface for backing up all the systems on your local network

174
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:40,520
The the issue with Windows home server aside from Microsoft abandoning it was that Windows doesn't really have a great

175
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:46,240
Software raid. Yeah, and Microsoft just never saw fit to build it

176
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:52,640
My understanding is that storage spaces at a certain level if you are enough of a wizard administrator

177
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,920
might be kind of usable for something but I

178
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,400
Have never personally had that experience with it and

179
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
apparently neither have a lot of people but

180
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:12,360
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

181
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:19,200
You know one of these little NAS boxes that you could then buy from companies like Synology like QNAP or whoever else

182
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:26,760
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

183
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Expand it you could add more RAM you could put in a faster CPU

184
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,040
You could have it do you could have it do anything you wanted depending on

185
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:42,280
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

186
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,080
About these lockdown NASs to be clear. I understand why people buy them and I understand why people like them

187
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,880
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

188
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,600
Yep, this seems pretty reasonable but a lot of the time they're not that reasonable and it's

189
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,600
It appears to me to be fully intentional where they will you know

190
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Not put an m.2 slot on that one

191
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Or they will not have a PCIe slot to make sure that you can't have 10 gig networking on that one

192
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:21,400
That would otherwise totally work as a video editing NAS. Yeah, and so the the holy grail for me

193
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:28,400
Has always been to have the benefits of a completely custom solution

194
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,880
You know running some Linux distro or whatever else with you know

195
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:39,680
ZFS with whatever fancy patches and you know, you've you've got all your virtualization running on it and whatever else, right?

196
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:46,320
so having all the benefits of that plus the benefits of just easy an easy kind of interface and

197
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:54,520
You know a setup wizard and the simplicity that you get from these pre-done NAS boxes because right now you either

198
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Have to learn a whole bunch of stuff that can be fun for some people and that's great if you're into that

199
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,200
That's awesome, and I think that's super cool

200
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,120
But not everybody's into that or you have to pay a lot of money for devices that appear to be

201
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,920
Planned obsolescence incarnate

202
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:24,040
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

203
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,960
They're basically saying the quiet part out loud. Yeah by switching to this

204
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,400
vendor certified vendor locked down hard drive model and

205
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,720
Hexos disclosure. I already did okay. Yeah, and that and I was getting to that is

206
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:44,280
Exactly why I invested in hexos because I think you should be able to install something that is as simple to use as Synology

207
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:51,600
So it has that out-of-box experience and app support and ease of use factor while also having the performance and the

208
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:00,200
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

209
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640
But they will also have a more expensive

210
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,880
One-time purchase model and then you just have it forever and you can just have whatever hardware you want in your hexo s

211
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,400
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

212
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,640
Yeah, for sure that something wires

213
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,920
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

214
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Once you own it forever, you will you will own it forever. They're apparently doing great by the way. I am like

215
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,160
Kind of blown away. What's like user feedback?

216
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:42,320
People have been really understanding the community not just the user community, but the developer community has rallied

217
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Hard around hexo s because they're just like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah

218
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,680
Like this is common sense. Why do we not have this someone's finally fucking doing it?

219
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:58,040
I'm in like apparently when we talked about them for the launch they got

220
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:06,200
Just an avalanche of developer applications and I don't mean like like script kiddies who are like

221
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,080
I want to I want to help develop the hexo s like

222
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,880
They they showed me some of the portfolios work for them. I thought I thought you meant. Okay. Okay. Yeah

223
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:25,320
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

224
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Oh What they could work anywhere they want? Yeah, yeah, basically or just or just not work or whatever like no like wow

225
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,080
Anyway, so yeah, they've got some really talented people working on it now

226
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:47,480
So let's so anyway before hexo s was even a twinkle in the eye of John and Eric and the guys over there

227
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,520
My kind of you know tech tips for the people

228
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Solution to marry the DIY benefits with the ease of view software benefits was like hey

229
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280
We should do a video on that that Synology

230
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,360
like Like hackintosh Hackology or what what's it called? What's uh?

231
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:15,080
Okay, hold on the Synology There's the what's it called? What's it called? Uh, but it but but

232
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Exponology, Exponology I don't know if it actually still works, but it was a thing back when we did it and

233
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,760
There's there were some limitations, right? Like there were some challenges like it only work on certain hardware

234
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,080
there were some like weird hacky workarounds and from my point of view

235
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,360
It absolutely was not a complete replacement for for Synology and to be clear

236
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:45,160
I didn't expect Synology to be like stoked that this was something we were making a video about but

237
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,600
We actually got as far as shooting the entire video and the actual conclusion of it was like

238
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Yeah, if you want the best possible experience, you got to buy the hardware key for the for the lock here

239
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:03,000
But this is if you are you know kind of willing to deal with some some challenges

240
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,920
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

241
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,600
Kind of mostly works and I think it would have actually sold

242
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,200
A lot of Synology NASs because most people wouldn't have been willing to go through this work, but we ultimately

243
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,640
never released that video because

244
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:32,200
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

245
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,880
but we basically said hey, yeah, we

246
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Don't agree that us making a video about a thing that is common knowledge

247
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:48,200
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

248
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:56,600
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

249
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:04,920
but we had Other voices internally who felt very strongly that at a somewhat vulnerable time

250
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:14,280
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

251
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:21,320
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

252
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:27,960
But unfortunately, that's what they want. Yes, that's exactly what they want these companies use this as a as a tool

253
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,160
They don't actually want to end up in court with you

254
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,840
so the so the The compromise that we reached was that

255
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:43,160
Synology would be dead to us at that point. Um, and there have been a couple exceptions to that. I think someone's

256
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:49,640
Tech upgrade at some point included a Synology NAS and I basically went well, this seems like a bit of an exception

257
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:55,000
I'm not talking about it. Yeah, and I'm not going to limit people's options for tech upgrades to like

258
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,680
Brands that I you know get along with or whatever. Sure, right? Um

259
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,480
but other than that I

260
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:11,320
I won't work with them I won't like I I'd need I'd need an apology before I would even

261
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,440
Talk to them essentially, um, which has happened with brands before. Well, yeah, of course because

262
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Usually what it comes down to is that, you know, someone who works there has a chip on their shoulder or whatever

263
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,600
And that individual eventually moves on and you know, the reality of it is that we're probably going to outlast most

264
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,000
Individuals in the particular role that they're in and so we can just play the waiting game

265
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:39,560
I mean, that's what happened with envidia. Yeah envidia the the entity didn't like, you know, want to mend fences

266
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,800
A couple particular people who were ass hurt

267
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:48,520
um Move done And so we'll we'll work with them and

268
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:56,600
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

269
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:02,120
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?

270
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:09,160
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?

271
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,640
Knowing this current crew

272
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,200
I don't think that would make them run which is cool. I don't think so. I think that's cool genuinely cool

273
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400
I think that this because that's the thing right is like

274
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:28,440
I respect that actually a lot That doesn't mean that you know, they're that they have ignored it

275
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,000
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

276
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,040
Poison everything else that we could possibly work together on sounds good. Um

277
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,560
And you know, I can understand that being a tough thing to be clear, but like

278
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,680
That's the that's the you can't um

279
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,280
You can't let relationships influence

280
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,840
Uh Reviewing well, no, I mean that's that's the same what you gotta do

281
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,360
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

282
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:13,320
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

283
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880
They don't need to answer your questions or engage with you. Mm-hmm

284
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:22,680
That's totally valid But if they make a good product like, you know airpods pro to I absolutely love mine

285
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,120
And I say nothing but good things about all the good things about them

286
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,360
Then you just you have to separate that you have to separate sort of the corporate culture

287
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,680
From the individuals who work there from the product those those things can all be

288
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,920
Have they can all be very different and all of those differences can be very valid

289
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Uh, but you can't let them bleed into each other as best you can as best you can at least

290
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,640
um So long story short

291
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Synology, um, hopefully you can go f*** yourself in the longer term

292
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,920
Because it will be as simple as just picking up not overpriced hardware and installing

293
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:08,200
uh investment disclosure hexos on it and I will never have to say your name again and uh, good luck with that

294
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,840
And especially because you guys think it's cool to vendor lock hard drives on consumer systems, which

295
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,280
On an enterprise system, I can at least

296
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,440
kind of see it like if you have some

297
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,680
like I don't know disc disc shelf like giant, you know

298
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:37,080
uh Like rack based san system or something like that and the vendors basically like look we've only validated this

299
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:44,200
particular firmware revision and and this these particular models and if you put something else in it

300
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Look your warranty is valid because that's all invalid because that's all that we validated

301
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,440
I think there's at least an argument to be made there because

302
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,560
The operation of that device that entire device

303
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,400
Is covered by the service agreement that that vendor has with you. It's a totally different scenario

304
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,840
So it is actually their problem if something goes wrong with it

305
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:14,520
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

306
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,560
I don't actually think that that's okay um

307
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,720
All right, what what what what what what what what do we what else do you want to talk about this week mr. Loop?

308
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160
We only had one Main news topic. Should we talk about that one? We have more than one

309
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,680
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

310
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:41,080
It's not all bad. Yeah, is that not connected to the story above it being bad? No. Oh

311
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,960
I There's just totally

312
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,960
You pick whichever one you like mr. Luke. Let's do let's do the 50 61

313
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Let's do it. So, um, this is now the

314
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,920
Fifth there were sixth big GPU launch since you took over the lab

315
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,520
There's been six so far in this quarter. So I think that's correct. Yeah

316
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:11,480
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

317
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:16,440
So I want two answers One is how do you think the kind of that because we did test the car

318
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:23,160
We uploaded a ShortCircuit video looking at the 50 60 ti 16 gig. Are we talking about the how'd your team do?

319
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,160
Oh, great. Yeah, I'm actually I'm very happy with the lab. I um

320
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:34,040
It's been a It's been a weird journey. It's like I I've never I've I've

321
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920
I have a quite a few teams at this point. I've never

322
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:43,240
taken over a team though Every team that I've had like everyone on all of my teams

323
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:51,160
Other than the lab I hired them. Yeah, all of them. So like this was a very new experience

324
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:58,440
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

325
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:04,600
all that kind of stuff getting used to New people getting used to new processes the lab does a lot of stuff

326
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,440
Getting used to that trying to figure out like what the heck is even going on with different parts of it

327
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,360
Um, I don't know if you remember but there was a thing that I completely shut down

328
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,440
Which was like literally most of the work that they did within the first week of joining. Yeah

329
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:26,200
Sure. Yeah, I um I I stepped in and one of the first things I did was I said that

330
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,440
I said that I would have a meeting with every single person in the department

331
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,720
A one-on-one with every single person in the department before I made any drastic decisions

332
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,040
And then I got two one-on-ones in

333
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,000
paused all of the remaining one-on-ones and did an extremely dramatic decision

334
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Which I don't think that was one of the trips actually. I think that was the right move

335
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,680
And that was I figured out uh, like what percentage of time people were spending on different things

336
00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:00,520
And it was coming out from like almost everyone A huge percentage of it was ShortCircuit. Yeah, and ShortCircuit is cool

337
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,520
But i'm looking at that ShortCircuit the cost and size of the lab

338
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,080
And if you try to look at the the holistic cost of both the the equipment the space

339
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:15,320
Uh, the salaries all that type of stuff and then you apply the percentage of that lab's time

340
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,520
That was being spent on ShortCircuit and the math just is really not math in here

341
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,760
Um bad mathing. So I was like, whoa, let's um

342
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:31,400
Let's pause this if we can Which is to say that we're not going to do lab's testing on ShortCircuit

343
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,680
We obviously just did we're already doing we did like 30 of them over the last quarter or something

344
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,240
But we had a lot of workflow things to figure out. Yeah to smooth out that process

345
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,880
Before we could do it and we're we're still working on those things like we're hiring testers right now

346
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,240
We're in the I wouldn't I don't know if the post is still up

347
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,320
If you're applying now, I mean, there's a chance, but it's probably too late

348
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,600
But we're interviewing testers right now We're hiring three

349
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,200
We just brought on way over do testing coordinator. Nice, which is going to be really nice as well

350
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,480
Yep So that person's job is going to be you know to keep the tests flowing one one thing

351
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,480
I said the the beginning what I want them working on is mostly communication

352
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,240
Make sure people outside our department know what's going on make sure people inside our department

353
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:23,480
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

354
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,800
In the longer run something that I want them working on is optimizing

355
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,480
um like station efficiency and what I kind of mean by that is

356
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:37,720
Um say we have some GPU embargo. Yeah, it doesn't mean that every other station should stay cold

357
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,920
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

358
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:51,160
There should still be enough extra testers that we can keep the other stations kind of moving and keep things pumping through the lab

359
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,920
Um, but yeah, I I was like, okay, we're spending all this time doing this

360
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,880
There's no free time to work on processors. No free time to do all this kind of stuff

361
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,960
Let's pause for like two three months and really try to hammer this stuff out

362
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:08,600
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

363
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,080
When I first started with the department, I was looking sometimes hours forward

364
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:20,600
And then now at this point, I'm looking months year plus forward. Um, and there's some there's some cool plans

365
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:30,760
Okay, now this was a good Oh, the the six GPUs was a fantastic push now. Let's talk about how things went

366
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:36,600
Uh with the 50 60 50 60 ti from like an an overall execution

367
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,160
outside of lab's standpoint

368
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,000
You know what here, why don't I read through the notes on april 16th NVIDIA

369
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:58,760
launched the 50 60 family which included the rtx 50 60 with eight gigs of RAM the rtx 50 60 ti

370
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,680
with eight gigs of RAM and The rtx 50 60 ti with 16 gigs of RAM

371
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,960
Even though these cards are out Um now

372
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,600
Almost everywhere only lists the 50 60 ti 16 gig

373
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:22,200
The other two models are expected to You know be physically present in the real world at some point

374
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560
But nobody seems to know when so we decided

375
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,880
Not because the lab was not capable of doing the testing as as luke already mentioned

376
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:36,600
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

377
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:45,480
That because we didn't feel that this Situation was very consumer first that we were not going to do a review

378
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,520
But instead did a rant style video about how this entire

379
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,480
Launch felt not just the 60 class cards, but the 50 series in general

380
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,160
From the perspective, uh from several perspectives from an NVIDIA partner perspective. We included a little bit of that

381
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:06,520
From a press perspective and especially from a consumer perspective one thing that we did not really

382
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,080
Include in the video because I couldn't say this factually for certain

383
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:17,800
But one thing that we didn't include in the video is that my personal theory for why they rolled it out this way

384
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,920
Is that they want customer confusion?

385
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:28,440
I think that they want A heap of reviews on the the 50 60 ti

386
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:34,360
16 gig Right and because this is the first member of the family that anyone can get their hands on

387
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:40,040
And they want those ones for you on the remaining to to be at the top of the search results

388
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,560
and then I believe that NVIDIA had no intention whatsoever

389
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,720
Of ceding the other cards in any kind of timely manner or maybe at all

390
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:56,440
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

391
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,720
By which time there would be literally zero

392
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:08,360
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

393
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:14,600
The the value proposition of it. That doesn't mean it's a bad card. It just means that it's not

394
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:21,960
exciting anybody And I think that the benefit for NVIDIA of this kind of confusion and of this

395
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Of of having something with a very similar model name have all the views all of the seo

396
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,120
All the algorithmic weight is that people would see

397
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,400
An something affordable 50 60 50 60 ti 8 gig something

398
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,200
Sort of within their budget on the shelf and go. Oh, okay, so 50 60

399
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:49,800
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

400
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,320
That is my theory. Is this counter to your theory from

401
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,720
I think four wands ago. Where are you saying that reviewers don't matter anymore?

402
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,440
um

403
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:07,960
I think that Because I think that there is wrong. I think that NVIDIA thinks reviewers still matter

404
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,080
But not enough to do this whole thing properly

405
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:17,240
Or they think that reviewers can have an influence and I think that this was an effort to actively work against it

406
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,800
So I think I think that is NVIDIA's intention whether it would work or not

407
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:30,680
Got it. I think they wanted the perception of the 50 60 series to be set around the performance

408
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:39,800
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

409
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,080
Do you remember another time because I don't when NVIDIA launched a card with no embargo?

410
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,840
Yes, uh, one of the titan cards they did it

411
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:55,000
And I I outright refused to make content about it. I was like this is completely unacceptable

412
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:01,000
And some people seem to get really confused. I went on a shadow band spree

413
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:07,080
Anyone who said that our upset was because we're just like butthurt. We didn't get a free card

414
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:13,720
Got permanently banned because that you're actually too stupid for me to listen to anything that you say ever again

415
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,760
The value of a free card compared to like the average

416
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,720
Daily expenses at this company is hilarious. It's actually trivial

417
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,560
Dan laughing in the background. Um, it's that's just like clearly not

418
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,280
The reason it matters the reason that we have review embargoes and we have

419
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,520
Organization around the launch is so that it benefits everybody

420
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,720
It's fair play and vidya has time to brief the press on their side of the story

421
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:50,920
The press has time to verify that story and form their own thoughts and opinions rather important and then

422
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:59,880
everyone goes live with their Equally equipped side of the story and the consumer gets the a balanced view

423
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:06,680
that is that can be that that can be put together with time and care and attention and

424
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,480
Will not be perfect launch reviews are never going to be perfect because over the

425
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:17,240
Days and weeks and months and sometimes years after our launch. We're probably still going to be learning more about the product

426
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,640
But at least it's a starting point and there's a huge benefit to consumers where they can go. Okay

427
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,800
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

428
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,280
They can they can get a perspective from all of these different media outlets

429
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,960
Which we suggest they do anyways is a healthy ecosystem. Yeah

430
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:44,600
Providing a card on thursday afternoon or whatever it was. Was it wednesday afternoon or thursday afternoon?

431
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,360
I feel like it was thursday, but I don't remember it doesn't matter the point is providing a card

432
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,680
Over a weekend with a launch embargo Tuesday morning

433
00:42:53,240 --> 00:43:00,920
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

434
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,600
To validate NVIDIA's claims and b is just f***ing disrespectful

435
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,880
It's just completely disrespectful and the truth is it's not me

436
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:21,560
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

437
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,680
and and puts the cards onto the benches and and and makes the graphs

438
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:29,960
And and puts everything on a timeline edits it

439
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,520
No, that's going to be my team

440
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:42,760
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

441
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,440
In part we we didn't actually do the big LTT video for this card. Yeah

442
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,120
Yeah, because it's just and and it's one of those things where it's like look

443
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,440
Look if it was a one-time thing, right? And there was like a good reason

444
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:04,520
If NVIDIA was basically like okay, no no no hold on hold on hold on hold on if NVIDIA was a way smaller company

445
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,560
Okay, hold on. Let me put you a hypothetical. Okay, and this product

446
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,520
Let's say okay. Let's say NVIDIA was more like a like a a big screen

447
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,280
You know big screen that make the beyond vr headset. By the way, do you have an iphone?

448
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:25,640
What uh, yeah I spent money for once and I need to do a face scan. Oh, oh you bought a big screen

449
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:33,080
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

450
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:40,920
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

451
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,360
It's really good. It's time. It's sick. So I'm stoked. So anyway, I'm very good

452
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,800
Then let's say it was big screen sure in the past other than their software

453
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:56,280
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

454
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:04,440
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

455
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,560
Here's the situation. We've got like

456
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,840
Three cards or three cards. Sorry, excuse me. We've got like three headsets

457
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:19,960
Um The bulk shipment lands like this day. We must launch it this day

458
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,680
Um Otherwise we are like we are like out of cash

459
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:30,200
We actually like we have payroll that day if we don't get pre-orders in you're gonna love this thing

460
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:35,400
We are absolutely 100 the company will be gone. We are we're 100 certain you're gonna love this thing

461
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,720
You've got like four days. Could you ask the team to work over a weekend?

462
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,840
We are so confident that your independent unbiased

463
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:49,960
Unbiased review is going to validate our claims that this thing is awesome. Um that we're you know

464
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,440
Look, we're willing to work with people. I'll be like, okay. All right. It's not going to impact the coverage

465
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:02,920
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

466
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,520
Everything that I've seen about the product seems really positive

467
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:12,760
My experience with working with you is that you've been very honest in your assessments of the quality of the product

468
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,400
And the way that you present it all of these things align

469
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,200
Yeah, let's let's get everybody in on the weekend. I'll come in on the sunday night

470
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,480
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

471
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,640
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

472
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:37,800
No problem But that's not invidia no invidia had absolutely

473
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,040
No reason whatsoever

474
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,120
financially to To have this launch on that day

475
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:54,280
Imagine luke if you will if invidia had delayed the launch of the 5060 series for

476
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Three weeks and given us Darn near a month to work on our review

477
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,400
They would have launched the card and they would have all sold out

478
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:12,360
From a financial standpoint, there is no reason whatsoever that it had to launch that day. In fact, two of the three cards

479
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,400
were not available at all

480
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,240
And my understanding is that another media

481
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,920
I don't want to name them not because I don't want to name them but because

482
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,800
You know, I'm not sure if it was them Um, you look it up

483
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:34,760
Did what? Okay, well, I heard through the grapevine. I have not verified this that someone said that

484
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:41,160
Add-in board partners were explicitly told not to seed the other cards even if they like did have samples. Oh

485
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,600
I can't remember who it was though. I think it was

486
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:52,680
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

487
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,880
Anyway, the point is that NVIDIA clearly had absolutely

488
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:04,280
No, yeah, Elijah says that's right. Yeah, okay. Okay. NVIDIA clearly has no sales incentive whatsoever

489
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,880
Not only that but they are actively ensuring that we cannot

490
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:16,520
test these cards Well, what how can I possibly assume anything other than

491
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:25,240
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

492
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:31,800
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

493
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,840
That's that's very heads up. That's cool. Um

494
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,240
That being said, this is a rather egregious pattern. I don't think that there has been

495
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,160
Oh, wait, Elijah says I don't know if hardware unbox said that we heard directly from board partners. Okay

496
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,360
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

497
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,880
I'm really not sure. Um But I at least since the 1000 series

498
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,560
Hub apparently said it as well. Okay. I I feel like before then but at least from the 1000 series

499
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,920
I haven't seen an NVIDIA launch that didn't have just like egregious

500
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,160
falsehoods in the announcement I've seen some

501
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:14,920
Since 1000 series. Yeah, well what? Yeah, I mean I as much as people ragged on them about it

502
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:22,120
I don't think 3090 was particularly misrepresented. They said it was 8k capable with dlss help and it was

503
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:28,600
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

504
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,720
So there was no reason for them to to fudge it. I mean they've had 1000 series was really good, too

505
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:41,480
Yeah, that's true that Yeah, that's I don't know how much it matters. Yeah, that's probably true. Um

506
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,720
Overall, I think the 30 series was a pretty

507
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,320
Was a pretty honest launch and they seemed to be competing hard. They seemed focused

508
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:57,960
Because they had the new console generation and they seemed very focused on beating it with

509
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:04,600
laser precision And other than that. No, I actually I I do agree with you. Yeah, okay

510
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:09,160
But yeah, it's like that that I don't know it's just but let's come back

511
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,280
Maybe there's other reasons. Maybe it's not financial, right?

512
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,200
Like what are the other reasons that NVIDIA could have for

513
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:23,480
Forcing this launch on this day Um other than financial, uh, maybe uh, maybe an image reason

514
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,480
Maybe they promised that these cards, uh, would launch on that day

515
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,760
Well, then they failed that anyway because you can't buy them anyway

516
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,360
And you can't you can't even review them. You see, okay. So so what what other what other possible reason

517
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,080
Could motivate a company to Does someone internally have like a kpi that they have to launch

518
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,560
The cards in in this quarter. Well, there's plenty of time left in this quarter

519
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:53,480
Like what is the I'm trying to understand what reason there could possibly be to give us

520
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,480
Four or five days or whatever it was two of which being a weekend

521
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:07,000
To review these cards Other than just trying to hide information from consumers and out of a complete lack of respect for partners

522
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,880
Those are the only two reasons that I can come up with

523
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,800
Or just completely not f***ing caring. Okay, so there's a third reason

524
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:22,280
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

525
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,440
That's not okay. Um, that's that's not gonna fly

526
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,960
Um, and I've seen okay another another bad take but not a bannable take

527
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,120
Another bad take is okay. You guys just shouldn't you should never talk about NVIDIA again

528
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:42,280
You should never review an NVIDIA card. We absolutely still should they have like 80 market share in the discrete GPU space

529
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:47,880
We have to we have to review things that people are going to buy anyway so that we can make sure that

530
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,880
If they want to know what's going on that we can give them the what's up

531
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:57,320
Like we're not just going to outright stop reviewing their products and as I mentioned in that video

532
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:05,240
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

533
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,040
But the products are mostly good

534
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:15,320
Like how many of you have an NVIDIA GPU that you're really happy with I bet a lot of you do

535
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,560
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

536
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:30,360
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

537
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,360
That's unacceptable

538
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,200
All right, what else was there in here there's some silver line. Oh, yes, okay

539
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,640
So we decided not to post a review so we still have unboxings

540
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,600
And we will do those for the other cards once they land

541
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:51,480
You can also head to lttlabs.com We'll have a full list of benchmarks for these cards once they are ready

542
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,400
Any big updates on the Labs website lately or not really?

543
00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:02,680
Not since the ones that we posted last I think psu circuits been doing great. Yeah channels been getting more views and stuff

544
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,680
That's that's pretty cool

545
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,640
Yeah, okay, so yeah, there's definitely there's some new articles and stuff

546
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,240
We've got a review of the rm 1000 x up there

547
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,240
We're planning an article right now based on that email that lucas sent you

548
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,480
Which is a thing that we've been talking about doing for a while

549
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,760
Which is we want to take the whole build-in-public model and apply it to the lab a little bit so

550
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,840
There's there's a couple ways that this will be showing its its face soon one of them is

551
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:38,680
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

552
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,440
But I want it to be lucas's words because it's it's his stuff not mine

553
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,040
But we're planning some potential changes to powers by testing. That's all I will say now

554
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:54,440
But those details and the changes that will be happening are going to be talked about in a Labs article

555
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,840
And then there will likely be a forum post accompanying it so that people can give feedback

556
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,760
I love it and we're going to be saying like hey, this is the situation that we're dealing with

557
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:06,360
This is the plan that we are planning on implementing. Let us know

558
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:11,400
But let us know I want to do so much more of that dude. I was disheartened to find out that the

559
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:19,960
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

560
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:25,400
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

561
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,080
We just glued panels. Well. Yeah, but it made a big difference. Did it not it did okay

562
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,720
But there's gonna be an article Fine good, but like I would have liked to make a video about it

563
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,440
So this this was part keeping all the cool stuff for his website

564
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,400
While my videos languish while I'm making videos about fire trucks. I'm so desperate

565
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,680
You can No, you can't spray the sound chamber. Sorry

566
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,280
Maybe the rf chamber there after can't chamber could probably take getting sprayed

567
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:58,040
It's metal Okay, the outside of it. Why would we do that? I don't know fire truck videos. Whatever. Um, but yeah

568
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,000
there's going to be an article on the sound chamber stuff and

569
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:09,800
there might Be a ShortCircuit maybe and the ShortCircuit would feature what we're calling Labs experimental graphs

570
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:18,120
So the graphs will indicate that these are tests under construction effectively. Um, so it's a way for us to

571
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,440
Try to do stuff and put stuff out there that we're pretty confident in

572
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:29,720
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

573
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,880
Uh, and there will be a a ShortCircuit video coming out with some of that sound testing in it

574
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,080
The article will explain what we're doing how we're doing it and we'll collect feedback

575
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,440
And then the video will show experimental graphs and we can get some input on like

576
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:48,440
What the graphs show can people understand what we're trying to convey with the graph that type of stuff

577
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,280
Yeah, it's coming along things are happening. It'll be good

578
00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:02,360
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

579
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,280
Posted up. So I don't want to talk too much about it right now. All right. So 40 60 ti 16 gig

580
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:13,160
There are some silver linings according to hardware unboxed and our numbers. Sorry. Yeah, thank you

581
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:19,880
It appears to range from 10 to 20 faster than the 40 60 ti in both 1080p and 1440p while being

582
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:26,200
$70 cheaper than last gen at msrp The issue is whether you can get it at that price

583
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,440
the good news though the even better gooder news is that

584
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:38,680
There is another card that you can buy for 1080p and even light 1440p gaming that appears to be getting

585
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:47,640
Much more affordable Even though one user user posted on r slash Intel ark who was upset about not being able to find stock

586
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:54,680
Several people in the comments said they are getting them no problem with minimal markup over msrp

587
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,320
So our notes here say Da da da da da da go shopping

588
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,000
For a b580. So here let's uh

589
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:10,680
Let's take uh, let's take my let's take my laptop for a little spin Intel b580. No statement

590
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:17,960
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

591
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,820
At the screen don't look at the screen. Okay. What do you think? Do you think b580 will be in stock?

592
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:30,960
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

593
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:38,280
Bearing in mind that it's MSRP like Intel's MSRP price for a base card is 250 US dollars

594
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,120
What do you think the price will be 350 350? Okay, let's go shopping

595
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,120
Okay, well the gunner is in stock and is 379

596
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,040
but This onyx is

597
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,760
329 this one is 319 last time I looked there was no stock

598
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,200
So this is kind of cool that there is actually stock in stock 19 is really good

599
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,080
I don't know who the crap onyx is media

600
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:07,860
But their Odyssey arc 12 gig card is 320. What's smoking? Okay, so hold on a second

601
00:58:07,860 --> 00:58:12,760
It's on sale to a sir a sir nitro add to cart 319

602
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,800
He's looking cooler Intel until it. Oh, hold on. What is this?

603
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,480
See price and cut 395 get get real

604
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:28,680
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

605
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:37,520
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

606
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:44,880
but in other markets Apparently it has it has chilled out a lot and

607
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,640
That appears to be very true

608
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,640
Check this out

609
00:58:53,400 --> 00:59:01,120
Intel arc limited edition 359 that's cad that is Canadian dollars. Hold on a second here

610
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,280
Dude, I looked like two weeks ago and they're out of stock everywhere

611
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:09,240
See what there the stock is at the individual hold on hold on hold on hold on cat to USD

612
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,760
That is ten dollars over MSRP

613
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:22,040
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

614
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,640
Is actually quite exciting? Let's go ahead and check

615
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:32,200
They have one in Edmonton West. They have one in Victoria. Okay, not a ton of stock not a ton of stock

616
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:36,920
Okay, so they're they're not out of stock now, but there's like almost none. But can I order it online?

617
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:46,360
Added one to your cart. I Can order this in Canada right now for two hundred and sixty US dollars and

618
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:55,480
That is pretty good is a lot of gaming card for two hundred and sixty US dollars. Yeah, so I

619
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,880
believe I

620
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:10,120
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

621
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,720
Experiencing a surge in retail shopping right now

622
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:20,200
So the timing could be part of it Intel might have allocated enough B580 to the US

623
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:25,080
Only to realize too late that US shoppers are

624
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:32,280
Hoovering up consumer products right now in anticipation that pricing could go up due to the tariff situation

625
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:38,600
And I've been experiencing that first hand on LTT Store. So reminder

626
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:48,040
We have extended the Shipstorm sale event worldwide free shipping on orders over 150 dollars to help our American friends down there

627
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:54,000
Get anything that they need before Whatever impacts

628
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,840
Ultimately affect us from the tariffs as well as toes, you know say hey buddy

629
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,440
Hope you and the rest of the world love to have products from LTT Store.com

630
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:14,560
So shipstorm sale event still ongoing and has been strong crazy strong has been has been crazy. So I am

631
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,920
Optimistic for Intel arc, it's like

632
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:28,560
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

633
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:33,480
If you happen to be watching if anyone if anyone, you know, you've got you got the Intel CEO and your DMs, okay

634
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,040
You clip this. Okay, you clip this you send them Please

635
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,920
Don't give up on arc desktop. Yeah

636
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:45,360
Gamers need you the gaming market needs you. Okay, it might be too late

637
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,840
It might be too late to bring back the higher-end battle mage

638
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,320
Discrete GPUs. It is not too late for Celestial. Okay

639
01:01:53,040 --> 01:02:00,360
Yeah, do it do the full line up for Celestial because that team that team has been working so hard

640
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:06,600
Okay, dude, dude the fact the fact that in a few short years they have gone from

641
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:12,240
Intel HD graphics essentially, you know in terms of the drive great competitor to a legitimate

642
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:21,520
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

643
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:26,680
So they are they're under the same cost pressure that AMD or NVIDIA are on these arc GPUs

644
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:34,480
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

645
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:41,080
This is a billion dollar industry that as far as I can tell NVIDIA is completely not paying attention to right now

646
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:46,200
They they have they are they are on complete autopilot

647
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:51,160
Do it I want to show one more thing for the lab site before

648
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:59,640
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

649
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,280
for 409 CAD which is

650
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:11,120
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

651
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,960
Not even ridiculous. Yeah, I see them. I see them. I see them here here here here here

652
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:19,800
So here's they have these challengers as well as rock challenger OC nice. Yeah

653
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:25,520
They have more stock. Oh, dude, they got tons of these. Let's go ten plus it like every store

654
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,880
I could I could literally go to the Langley store Walk in and buy one right now

655
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,600
For here 409, but that's such a normal sounding thing

656
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,520
You can't because it's closed because it's a holiday

657
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:48,960
So for 40 for $46 over MSRP I could have a challenger OC card when they open tomorrow. Yeah

658
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaking of things being not the right prices remember, I think it was two weeks ago

659
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:58,360
We talked about the bring your own price feature for the Labs website. Yes

660
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:03,880
This is not This is not

661
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,280
This is not ready yet. This was a hackathon project

662
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:12,560
So Liam the same person who championed it internally originally he mentioned

663
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:19,560
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

664
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:24,160
And made a version of it now before you're like, oh, I don't like how this thing or that thing works

665
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:30,200
It was a hackathon project. Leave it alone. It's it has not gone through UX UI any that kind of stuff

666
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:37,280
But this is so you can see add prices as a button here. It's 15 seconds. So just prepping you a little bit

667
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,480
You've got these cards. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay, okay

668
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:46,200
Okay, you can plug in your own prices for the cards. Oh, buddy. Oh, buddy

669
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,920
Oh, buddy close it and then the graph updates

670
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:58,400
And it works hackathon project functionally you can disable or enable price per frame we were kind of thinking that

671
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:05,960
Dan brought this up Dan Siegel on the team. That's pretty was thinking that that should probably just add a line

672
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,520
So it should show all the previous data, but add a line so you can still see the other things

673
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,840
I think that's a pretty neat idea the modal could look better

674
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,760
Whatever that those none of that it's a hackathon. Nobody cared

675
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:24,200
That's pretty cool. Okay, pretty can I not probably number one. It's not coming soon. Go away. Can I propose?

676
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,360
Maybe a fundamental problem

677
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:33,840
Sure, I know I know this is a big. Oh, not really. We have lots of other stuff to work on good

678
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:40,920
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

679
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,080
Okay, but oh boy, how do I say this without?

680
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,880
without causing a stir I

681
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,360
Felt that that was an accurate way to assess

682
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:57,240
FPS per dollar and price to performance until I thought about it more. I

683
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:03,640
Think you need to think about it more because this was something that kind of blew my mind

684
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:09,240
When I was when I was trying to wrap my brain around and this would have been way back in the day

685
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,160
Okay, I believe the card that we were discussing was

686
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:24,280
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

687
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,920
And it was like overclocked 10% or something and it was like

688
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,880
$300 more or something like that those numbers might be a little bit wrong

689
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:41,760
but the fundamental the fundamentals are right that it was the same GPU on the same PCB with

690
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:49,400
Functionally the same cooler, but a cooler shroud for hundreds of dollars more. Okay 8800 ultra and

691
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:58,560
I I was working on our PC like configurator and I was like adamantly opposed to a card like that

692
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:04,280
I was like, this is actually stupid and all you got to do is get MSI afterburner and turn it up 10%

693
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,760
Which every 8800 GTX will do so why does anyone care about this at all?

694
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,400
We shouldn't even we shouldn't even stock it was pretty much my perspective on it

695
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,120
I was like, this is the stupidest thing ever. No one should buy it. Okay. Okay

696
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:25,320
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

697
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:34,640
$1,000 versus $700 and this one gets 10% more performance for what would it work out to a 40% more price?

698
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,360
Basically, it's a stupid thing for completely stupid people

699
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:44,280
But and this was explained to me in a way that I kind of was combative

700
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,120
Against and didn't understand for a while until it

701
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:53,640
finally clicked Well, the math is actually that math is actually completely flawed

702
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,720
because most people are buying a computer system and

703
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:06,200
In the context of you hold on hold on no no trust me trust me in the context of your entire computer system

704
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,480
That costs $3,000

705
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:15,000
Spending another $300 to have 10% more performance could actually make perfect sense

706
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:21,520
Okay, so for that reason I think we actually need to consider

707
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,440
The cost of the system when we do these calculations

708
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:35,360
Because otherwise I think that we are because the cost of that FPS is not just the GPU

709
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:43,080
That is not actually accurate unless you're doing an upgrade if you are doing an upgrade it kind of is

710
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,920
But that comparison would realistically

711
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:55,000
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

712
01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:01,520
Anything else in the scenario like I of course you have to consider your total system cost and the

713
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:07,680
Impact of that difference on the total system cost might be x percentage of the total system cost that you're expending

714
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:15,280
But that I don't think that makes the the frame for dollar equation irrelevant. I think it I think it makes it

715
01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:20,520
It's it's more drastic than it. Yes, but I think that's up for the user to understand

716
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:26,440
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

717
01:09:26,440 --> 01:09:35,520
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

718
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,360
I don't know we say on there like

719
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:47,160
Make sure that you consider What if we what if we suggested that people put in the total system cost?

720
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:52,120
I think that would be fine because my my issue is the in its current form

721
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,720
It feels like a graph that doesn't start at zero. You like to zoomed in. Yeah

722
01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:02,840
That's the best. I think that's the most succinct way of explaining what I'm trying to

723
01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:07,480
What I'm the point I'm trying to make here. No, I think your point is super valid

724
01:10:07,480 --> 01:10:10,920
I just I think there. I don't think that means don't build it in my opinion. Oh

725
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:16,960
Yeah, like change how you communicate it or something we need to we need to fundamentally

726
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:23,600
Think about how we are presenting this information to make sure that people aren't getting the wrong impression

727
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:28,320
Yeah, that's super fair. I think I think like let me see here. I'm gonna bring it back up

728
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:35,060
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?

729
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:41,040
You could put like total system cost with this card or make it more simple than that

730
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:47,640
Yeah, like inform them of what to put in the box. Yeah, you could maybe even have examples or something

731
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,400
I don't know we could do a little bloggy post explaining how people will do it

732
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:56,320
But then you know that'll be buried two years after it's posted and no one will see it

733
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:02,240
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

734
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,640
We should still build the feature. Yeah, but I understand. Yeah, and I think that's a good point

735
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:13,800
Hathos has a really great example in the Floatplane chat that uses real math. Sure. My recent build was seven thousand dollars

736
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:18,400
Of that. We don't know what currency they're talking. So I don't know but probably a lot

737
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,680
But the GPU was thirty five hundred dollars

738
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,800
Had I gone with a 90 70 XT?

739
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:30,760
I would have 63% of the gaming performance. I have today at

740
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:37,180
58% of the cost so oddly enough Linus's argument works. Yeah, no

741
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:43,080
It definitely works. I don't think it's odd even it just definitely. Yeah, but it's like but that's okay

742
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,240
So I kind of defaulted just that being something that people would consider when they're looking at this stuff

743
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:51,560
But I understand the argument that they won't so okay and the challenge with upgrade

744
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,640
To people is that I think that it still applies just especially at the high end

745
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:01,080
The numbers are gonna be kind of skewed. Yeah, because if you aren't building a new system

746
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,120
You weren't actually getting all of that performance

747
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,960
Because you're bound to be bottlenecked by the rest of your system. This is where I was kind of okay

748
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:14,320
So fair enough, but this is kind of where I was thinking like I was hoping people were understanding the whole equation as well

749
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,920
Because if you're upgrading you're probably flipping your GPU to probably now

750
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:25,880
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

751
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,440
Like a macro laden excel sheet that you like punch

752
01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:37,680
An article you have to read like I want to be like a user manual like a PDF you download before you interact

753
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:45,200
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?

754
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:53,040
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

755
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:59,400
Because I want this to be a really useful tool and I don't want anyone to go. Oh, yeah

756
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:05,680
Well, okay, man What would be an example of like where they would accidentally spend too much?

757
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:12,360
Probably that wouldn't happen because I think it mostly it damages the value proposition of the higher end stuff

758
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:17,880
It would generally skew down But I'd hate for people to like that example in the in the chat

759
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:26,160
I'd hate for people to spend a thousand dollars on their computer and then buy the thing for a hundred bucks

760
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:30,760
That performs, you know, oh man, how do I how do I explain this?

761
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:36,320
Whatever the point is at a certain point if you're spending enough on the rest of your system

762
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,520
There's better value to be had by actually spending a little bit

763
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:47,800
But a lot more on your GPU like you could you could get a better value spending double on your GPU $200 versus $100

764
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:56,360
For a GPU that performs only 20% better because now your budget is $1,200 and is 20% better versus about versus

765
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:02,240
$1,100 and it's 20% less or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, 20% less depends on your tasking, right?

766
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,760
Like if you're doing something that's super super CPU heavy that might not be true

767
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,240
But then it's true for the CPU instead

768
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,440
It kind of depends on the thing that you're focusing on

769
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,600
We'll figure it out guys. We're gonna figure it out. Yeah, there has to be some way

770
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:22,800
There has to be a way to to present this information and make sure that we don't we don't bamboozle

771
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,960
We don't bamboozle everyone into buying a B580

772
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:31,400
Yeah, there that's the point. I'm trying to get to if you're spending

773
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,640
$500 on your base platform you buy a B580, right?

774
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,920
But if you're spending $2,000 on your platform and you're buying a B580

775
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:45,800
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

776
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:54,800
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

777
01:14:55,200 --> 01:15:00,800
Completely on the table regardless of whether you're buying them today or you bought them already. It's not a good balance

778
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,560
I want to help people find a balanced

779
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:09,320
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

780
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:15,320
Things that the Labs website wants to work on over the next who knows how long is

781
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:22,680
Trying to help get people to final decision more so right now. It's a really good info dump page for nerds

782
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,560
Yes, but it doesn't really help you which is great

783
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:31,560
Yeah, but it doesn't really help you get to a final decision It can refine you down a little bit

784
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,920
Yeah, maybe if you use the comparison page properly and stuff it can help get you sort of there

785
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:44,120
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

786
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:49,040
There's a ton really one of them is these types of things

787
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:56,960
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

788
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:01,300
I think that's a different chart. Oh, yeah, that is something that we could do

789
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,520
Total cost of ownership analysis and like yeah try to integrate

790
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:12,880
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

791
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:18,240
Yeah, I think it's already gonna be complicated when we try to work in this messaging around total system cost

792
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:23,400
But it is something that I would like I would like to see us integrate

793
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:31,320
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

794
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,000
There could maybe be a wizard version. That's more depth

795
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:42,400
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

796
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:49,600
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

797
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:57,480
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

798
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:03,720
We know what kind of budget you're shopping in and we can just be like yeah, this may be surprising, but you actually

799
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:11,560
Are best off with a RTX 5090 because anything else would be sort of leaving a ton of performance on the system

800
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:17,960
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

801
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:24,680
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

802
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:28,160
But we could make it so that there's general expectations for prices for GPUs

803
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:34,400
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

804
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:41,520
explaining why he understands now, but It could link you to the article explaining why you should probably put in your system cost

805
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:47,400
But then it's up to the user right the user could just choose to ignore it. Where's the this way nice

806
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:55,600
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

807
01:17:56,040 --> 01:18:01,920
That is still a useful and interesting number. It's just could be misleading when you're looking to buy a whole computer

808
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:06,760
So Yeah, I don't know There's a variety of ways that we do it

809
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:10,240
Some of them are very annoying on the dev team like the one that I just mentioned

810
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:14,080
So I don't know the dev team and anyone doing data entry

811
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,880
So I don't know if we necessarily actually want to do that because it's super tedious

812
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:22,120
But there's probably a variety of other ways of doing it as well. So

813
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:30,960
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

814
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:40,380
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

815
01:18:41,380 --> 01:18:43,820
For anything all that anyone

816
01:18:44,860 --> 01:18:50,860
Talks about in just drop the potential in chat. Yeah, yeah, they completely drop the potential

817
01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:55,760
They assume it is the number one priority thing that we're working on now when like in reality

818
01:18:56,380 --> 01:18:58,380
a lot of the

819
01:18:59,380 --> 01:19:07,500
Tasking for high priority stuff for the lab right now is like working on better graphing tools for the local team and

820
01:19:08,420 --> 01:19:13,700
improving some of the data entry stuff that local team has to do in order to get articles up and

821
01:19:15,380 --> 01:19:20,300
Doing some revisions to some of the product pages that we currently have like introducing

822
01:19:21,260 --> 01:19:25,100
New graphs to the power supply verticals doing some revamping stuff

823
01:19:25,100 --> 01:19:28,460
Maybe the keyboard and mouse because I haven't been touched in a long time things like that

824
01:19:30,500 --> 01:19:34,580
Not not the like sexy new feature development stuff, so

825
01:19:35,060 --> 01:19:40,860
You know, but it's it's coming. It'll happen in summary buy an Intel Arc B580

826
01:19:42,460 --> 01:19:48,740
In every scenario in every scenario because it's always always the best bang for the buck. Yeah

827
01:19:52,540 --> 01:19:59,820
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

828
01:20:00,820 --> 01:20:07,500
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

829
01:20:09,700 --> 01:20:11,940
That while you're walking I

830
01:20:13,660 --> 01:20:15,660
Didn't know for sure that the building was empty

831
01:20:17,180 --> 01:20:19,180
It's even more reason to

832
01:20:20,220 --> 01:20:23,860
I don't need I don't need this is your building line is look I

833
01:20:24,700 --> 01:20:29,820
Have gone home. We talked about this

834
01:20:31,060 --> 01:20:35,700
It's after hours. I have enough scandals when I like didn't actually do anything. I

835
01:20:36,340 --> 01:20:39,300
Don't need to actually expose myself in the office. Oh

836
01:20:40,740 --> 01:20:45,260
Man, all right. What are we supposed to be doing? Let's explain the merge messages

837
01:20:45,260 --> 01:20:49,140
Ah, yes merge messages. Well, I can see that quite a few of you have figured them out already

838
01:20:49,140 --> 01:20:53,820
Oh, how are your fingers doing there, Dan? Pretty good. It's not quite as

839
01:20:53,860 --> 01:20:59,140
Bad as last week. Well, I haven't reminded the people that there's free shipping on lttstore.com now

840
01:20:59,140 --> 01:21:05,380
It's gonna be as bad as I'm sorry free shipping on lttstore.com on all orders over

841
01:21:06,820 --> 01:21:11,060
$150 that is worldwide. We are extending the deadline

842
01:21:11,580 --> 01:21:15,660
It is now until Tuesday April 22 at 10 a.m. Pacific time

843
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:21,060
This is largely because the team has been doing an incredible job getting orders out and we are

844
01:21:21,940 --> 01:21:27,580
Less concerned that those orders are not going to make it over the border before May 2nd

845
01:21:27,580 --> 01:21:33,660
Which is when According to the current guidance a bunch more tariff stuff is supposed to kick in or something like that

846
01:21:33,660 --> 01:21:39,420
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

847
01:21:39,740 --> 01:21:46,060
Impact the costs on them So now is a better time than ever to check out the MCM essential solution

848
01:21:46,340 --> 01:21:51,700
Which is running at just $80. We also have our magnetic cable management starter kit

849
01:21:52,340 --> 01:21:58,980
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

850
01:21:58,980 --> 01:22:03,260
You screw it on and they're also great for holding up anything that uses a quarter 20 mount

851
01:22:03,540 --> 01:22:07,380
So it's threaded for that so I could like you could like mount a you know camera with it

852
01:22:07,380 --> 01:22:11,860
Yeah, nice strong magnet the base just unscrews and then it's like a circle with a yeah

853
01:22:12,420 --> 01:22:17,260
Super super handy cable tie holder medium and small arches and with a bunch of the different grip plates

854
01:22:17,260 --> 01:22:21,300
So you can get an idea of exactly what it is that you that you that you would want

855
01:22:21,940 --> 01:22:29,500
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

856
01:22:29,500 --> 01:22:36,660
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

857
01:22:36,660 --> 01:22:41,460
You want move it around you can add a Monitor we still have that right. Oh, yeah, there is show peripherals

858
01:22:41,460 --> 01:22:46,340
You can kind of see what it's gonna look like but but but but but but but that is a fantastic little tool

859
01:22:46,340 --> 01:22:52,820
The team whipped up the og backpack. It's been surprising to me. I thought the commuter backpack was gonna cannibalize it

860
01:22:52,820 --> 01:22:57,200
Were you talking about the desk configurator? Yeah, those just Conrad. Oh great job Conrad

861
01:22:58,100 --> 01:23:03,700
So the og backpack I thought the commuter was gonna cannibalize it. It has actually caused the og backpack to

862
01:23:04,740 --> 01:23:09,420
Go up in sales Kind of makes sense to me actually I

863
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:12,940
Would have originally assumed the same as you did

864
01:23:13,740 --> 01:23:17,020
but I get Why I think

865
01:23:17,020 --> 01:23:22,940
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

866
01:23:22,940 --> 01:23:32,060
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

867
01:23:32,060 --> 01:23:37,060
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

868
01:23:37,220 --> 01:23:43,180
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

869
01:23:44,780 --> 01:23:51,560
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

870
01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:58,140
Including tall and I think the tall is like I think we pushed that one out of stock too

871
01:23:58,140 --> 01:24:03,700
Our business team has apparently been getting a ton of inquiries from just like random people who work at random companies that are like

872
01:24:03,700 --> 01:24:08,300
Yeah, well, they want the blanks your blanks are like way better than like what all of our corporate apparel

873
01:24:08,300 --> 01:24:15,060
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

874
01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:20,820
First time for everything. Yeah, it was a good. It was a good week or so lots more coming

875
01:24:21,740 --> 01:24:27,860
Three days. Are there gonna be anything other than just black because I'm only gonna have black shirts

876
01:24:29,860 --> 01:24:37,500
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

877
01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:43,800
Oh, all right, because there aren't any in stock There's a different color of a t-shirt

878
01:24:44,540 --> 01:24:49,700
Okay, we're working on it. Okay. I'm stoked. Anyway, the point is you can also pick up a scribe driver

879
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:57,020
Spoiler precision multi bit is one of the ones that is almost guaranteed to go up in price

880
01:24:57,020 --> 01:25:01,300
If the tariffs do get implemented the way that we currently anticipate that they will

881
01:25:02,100 --> 01:25:04,820
So now would be a really good time to pick up a precision

882
01:25:06,740 --> 01:25:10,500
Anyway, where was I going with that? Right? So if you want to send a merch message

883
01:25:10,500 --> 01:25:13,500
All you got to do is add some items to your cart and

884
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:20,500
You will see the merch message box You go ahead and leave a message and it will go to producer Dan who will

885
01:25:21,300 --> 01:25:27,100
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

886
01:25:27,220 --> 01:25:31,540
You can get stickers cool

887
01:25:31,540 --> 01:25:36,220
Dan do you want to show us how merch messages work by reading out a couple curated ones? Yeah, sure

888
01:25:36,220 --> 01:25:40,260
I wasn't sure if you covered this at the top of the show, but I got this one very easily

889
01:25:41,100 --> 01:25:44,820
Linus the incoming is blowing up now. I know Linus

890
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:50,660
Do you think NVIDIA will ever increase the stock of like dozen series GPUs to meet demand or do we all just give up?

891
01:25:50,660 --> 01:25:53,660
Hope until the next series so I don't know how much truth there is to this

892
01:25:53,660 --> 01:25:57,300
But I read an article that someone wrote somewhere for some publication

893
01:25:57,300 --> 01:26:07,340
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

894
01:26:08,020 --> 01:26:12,540
some of their customers that had bought into Blackwell heavily

895
01:26:13,180 --> 01:26:23,380
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

896
01:26:24,060 --> 01:26:28,860
What that would indicate to me if true and this was speculation

897
01:26:29,660 --> 01:26:33,340
Speculation from that article, so I'm not going to take credit for it

898
01:26:33,660 --> 01:26:41,420
But what that could mean is that NVIDIA might be incentivized to push some of their their wafer bookings

899
01:26:42,900 --> 01:26:47,900
For Blackwell to consumer GPUs rather than their more lucrative AI

900
01:26:48,620 --> 01:26:55,220
Enterprise and data center GPUs interesting if that is the case and this was this was weeks ago

901
01:26:55,220 --> 01:26:59,900
So if that is the case then sometime in the now a few weeks

902
01:27:00,580 --> 01:27:06,940
We could potentially see a dramatic loosening of supply for 50 series and it does appear that it's kind of happening already

903
01:27:07,460 --> 01:27:10,540
Not in the US so much again just like with Intel Arc

904
01:27:10,540 --> 01:27:17,660
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

905
01:27:17,980 --> 01:27:22,420
You know an MSRP being announced and availability being announced and them being like okay. Well, I guess

906
01:27:23,060 --> 01:27:27,100
Some months from now. We'll get it for some dollars get it for some amount of dollars

907
01:27:28,420 --> 01:27:34,180
But I think there's just so much pent up GPU demand in the US from just years of drought that

908
01:27:35,020 --> 01:27:38,580
It's just hoovering up anything that anyone can ship into it. So

909
01:27:39,580 --> 01:27:43,460
So things are do seem to be loosening up a little bit on 50 series

910
01:27:43,460 --> 01:27:51,140
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

911
01:27:51,740 --> 01:27:58,380
They are they are not selling through as much of their their Blackwell data center GPUs as they would hope I would it would

912
01:27:58,380 --> 01:28:06,420
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

913
01:28:06,420 --> 01:28:09,180
Like they're still selling desktop GPUs profitably. It's just not as

914
01:28:09,940 --> 01:28:16,740
profitable, right Now how about some announcements? Oh, are we doing one merge message?

915
01:28:17,420 --> 01:28:21,860
Well, we're doing a new method. We're doing a new method. Just read the

916
01:28:23,580 --> 01:28:30,660
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?

917
01:28:32,180 --> 01:28:37,340
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

918
01:28:37,340 --> 01:28:41,460
Okay, sorry, what am I supposed to be reading? But just the CW one. Where is it?

919
01:28:42,460 --> 01:28:53,180
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

920
01:28:53,180 --> 01:28:58,260
Yeah, I talked through it. Okay, cool. I go to LTD store comm and make sure that you use this opportunity to get

921
01:28:58,260 --> 01:29:03,780
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

922
01:29:03,780 --> 01:29:08,020
Well, wait, what's the Floatplane announcement? Well comes after a merchant. I didn't agree to any of this

923
01:29:08,020 --> 01:29:12,980
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

924
01:29:13,740 --> 01:29:17,620
I see this could be one. Well, we'll do to but I thought we'd give people a long

925
01:29:18,420 --> 01:29:24,980
There's like an agenda now. Yeah. Well, that's so professional in a document and everything there was before but now

926
01:29:24,980 --> 01:29:30,700
It's different. None of us read it apparently for like a long time. I mean, yeah, why would I exactly?

927
01:29:31,340 --> 01:29:37,660
Cuz I write them for me And then I don't read them anymore because they're for my reference like man

928
01:29:37,660 --> 01:29:44,100
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

929
01:29:44,140 --> 01:29:51,460
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

930
01:29:51,660 --> 01:29:56,660
Yeah, yeah, tell me and then I tell you you guys don't even have to worry about it literally ever

931
01:29:56,660 --> 01:30:01,060
Yeah, let's do that. Sure. Yeah, cuz realistically Dan's gonna be here because if he wasn't here

932
01:30:01,060 --> 01:30:05,820
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

933
01:30:05,820 --> 01:30:09,900
He's calculating. He's Cryptic he's

934
01:30:12,140 --> 01:30:15,940
Commanding that one doesn't start with a K. Okay

935
01:30:17,660 --> 01:30:24,100
Now we do another merge message because now we're immediately out of order. It's all gone wrong. Yeah

936
01:30:25,420 --> 01:30:34,180
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?

937
01:30:34,300 --> 01:30:39,940
Dopamine nation or anxious generation your hunches and references line up well with the research. Oh

938
01:30:40,500 --> 01:30:42,780
Wow, that's good to know. I haven't read either

939
01:30:43,980 --> 01:30:47,540
I've heard of both of those but I haven't read either of them

940
01:30:48,540 --> 01:30:53,900
But I'm happy that I'm not so far off. I in to be honest. I think it's pretty obvious

941
01:30:54,100 --> 01:30:58,500
I suspect most people know they just don't do anything about it

942
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:02,660
I suspect you overestimate the capacity of most people

943
01:31:04,340 --> 01:31:10,940
All right, fair enough That might be true George Carlin's famous bit think about the averageest person, you know

944
01:31:14,940 --> 01:31:21,820
The really interesting research is how dramatically people overestimate where they fall on an IQ bell curve

945
01:31:22,260 --> 01:31:29,300
How like dramatically over half of people will think that they are above 100 points when actually that is

946
01:31:29,460 --> 01:31:32,900
Not possible because that's literally not how that scale works at all

947
01:31:34,220 --> 01:31:37,300
It's pretty it's pretty interesting. Well, the thing is you have to be

948
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:41,060
You have to be smart to know that you're not that smart

949
01:31:41,620 --> 01:31:45,980
You know something is interesting to me and this is not exactly in line with what you were saying

950
01:31:45,980 --> 01:31:50,500
but something that's interesting to me is the like

951
01:31:50,500 --> 01:31:55,380
If you're like, I'm in the 75th percentile for performance band at this thing

952
01:31:55,780 --> 01:32:01,020
Mm-hmm compared to someone in the 99th percentile you are absolute suck

953
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:05,780
Yeah, but someone who's in the like 99.7

954
01:32:07,620 --> 01:32:17,060
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

955
01:32:17,820 --> 01:32:22,180
Insane, yeah, like it's it's how much better Connor Mcdavid is

956
01:32:22,300 --> 01:32:26,660
Yeah, and even someone who is better than you know, it's a one in

957
01:32:27,620 --> 01:32:33,620
100,000 hockey player. Yep, like it's not close. Yeah, like to the point where he could toy with them

958
01:32:33,620 --> 01:32:40,700
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

959
01:32:40,860 --> 01:32:43,820
Anyways, it's scrappy Dp says Ovechkin. So

960
01:32:45,140 --> 01:32:49,260
Hear me out Super Mario

961
01:32:51,220 --> 01:33:01,220
More more goals per game Fighting back injury literally recovering from cancer way more goals per playoff game. He played in the deadpuck era

962
01:33:03,380 --> 01:33:09,580
Super Mario Way more dynamic player way more assist second only to Gretzky

963
01:33:10,220 --> 01:33:14,640
Actually, my favorite my favorite hockey player not even close pretty based not even close

964
01:33:17,260 --> 01:33:21,700
But yeah, I don't know my line that I'll say again is you are constantly at war

965
01:33:21,700 --> 01:33:28,340
You're at war with many many many billion dollar companies that are fighting for your brain and they want you to suck

966
01:33:28,340 --> 01:33:32,380
Yeah, it's your job to not suck Went from not playing for four years

967
01:33:33,020 --> 01:33:39,900
Literally sipping coolers needing potato chips to acquiring the franchise that he played for put on his skates

968
01:33:40,340 --> 01:33:45,420
Put up numbers. I Didn't know he owned the team while he played for it Super Mario

969
01:33:46,660 --> 01:33:54,460
Literally came out of retirement To like help the team that he had acquired that's dope. The guy is actually an absolute Chad

970
01:33:55,980 --> 01:34:03,220
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

971
01:34:03,220 --> 01:34:07,940
I don't know that about him. That might be true but the

972
01:34:08,540 --> 01:34:10,540
There's a there's that there's this like

973
01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:20,300
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

974
01:34:20,300 --> 01:34:24,300
But it just about made my jaw hit my keyboard when I saw it

975
01:34:24,300 --> 01:34:30,180
It's unfortunately not an NHL clip So I've had a really hard time tracking out tracking down where it was from

976
01:34:30,420 --> 01:34:36,020
But basically he's he's he's rushing to the crease and his right winger

977
01:34:36,780 --> 01:34:39,980
passes and Lemieux

978
01:34:39,980 --> 01:34:47,780
Picks up his stick looks at nothing looks at nobody picks up his stick so that the puck will go through him and

979
01:34:48,140 --> 01:34:51,700
His left winger bangs it into a completely empty cage

980
01:34:52,340 --> 01:35:03,260
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

981
01:35:03,900 --> 01:35:09,780
Crazy, that's so sick. Also, you're wrong the rest of the world play cares plenty about hockey

982
01:35:09,780 --> 01:35:17,860
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

983
01:35:18,380 --> 01:35:28,660
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

984
01:35:28,660 --> 01:35:34,820
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

985
01:35:34,820 --> 01:35:37,300
I totally agree the closest thing we have to it is

986
01:35:38,300 --> 01:35:40,300
Shorzy, there's a parent. Oh

987
01:35:41,980 --> 01:35:44,540
Shorzy is an anime. I need this

988
01:35:45,140 --> 01:35:49,380
There's a pretty good bad thing to an anime apparently, but I haven't watched it yet. I've been meaning to

989
01:35:50,180 --> 01:35:54,900
Never really gotten into anime, but apparently it's apparently it's pretty solid back when I was my chat

990
01:35:54,900 --> 01:36:00,420
Craft right when I asked them to find a clip for me Luke. They didn't dang it. Oh, they didn't find it

991
01:36:00,420 --> 01:36:04,380
They just someone just linked one. Oh, then mine's frozen and it's real

992
01:36:05,380 --> 01:36:11,060
These people are awful bamboozled. Well, you know, you love them. Yeah. Oh

993
01:36:13,500 --> 01:36:18,620
Was it the 2002 Olympics, this is between the legs assist which doesn't sound like what you described

994
01:36:18,620 --> 01:36:22,500
Oh, no, hold on. Maybe yeah, maybe I had it wrong. Hold on. Can I can I watch that?

995
01:36:23,700 --> 01:36:26,500
Okay, hold on this might be this might be the one maybe here

996
01:36:27,420 --> 01:36:34,580
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

997
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:40,980
Let me see it This might not be it because it was like crappy or grainy or footage

998
01:36:44,540 --> 01:36:48,780
Hold on where's the slow version of this and this game is too fast

999
01:36:50,300 --> 01:36:56,020
Okay, blah blah blah crowd reacts. Okay, here's the here's the slow version. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on

1000
01:36:56,700 --> 01:37:04,580
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

1001
01:37:08,020 --> 01:37:12,900
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

1002
01:37:12,900 --> 01:37:17,580
You're gonna take a risk. This is this is the this is it. This is the 4,000

1003
01:37:18,580 --> 01:37:21,900
Angle to see this that's crazy. This is insane

1004
01:37:22,500 --> 01:37:27,220
Okay, so here we go. Here we go. It's a little bit as possible. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna play

1005
01:37:28,020 --> 01:37:32,660
Puck is pointed out. That's not just a random dot. Here's the puck. Yeah. Okay. Hold on

1006
01:37:33,060 --> 01:37:36,740
Okay, so yeah, here we go. Here we go. This is the right winger with the puck

1007
01:37:38,020 --> 01:37:45,380
Why does space not play on this website because you have the that's selected. All right. All right. All right. All right

1008
01:37:45,380 --> 01:37:47,380
Okay, okay, check this out

1009
01:37:48,580 --> 01:37:50,580
4,000 IQ

1010
01:37:51,580 --> 01:38:00,740
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?

1011
01:38:01,380 --> 01:38:05,620
That's fantastic that

1012
01:38:07,180 --> 01:38:11,060
No one no one before you described it is like

1013
01:38:11,820 --> 01:38:17,220
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

1014
01:38:18,180 --> 01:38:20,180
NHL games so it was hard for me to find it

1015
01:38:21,740 --> 01:38:27,420
What tournament it was from I thought you're trying to say like it was just like a for fun like random who cares

1016
01:38:29,380 --> 01:38:36,860
You didn't I thought so yeah, no this dude that like oh man that what dude that was oh that was

1017
01:38:37,860 --> 01:38:44,980
That's insane. It's beautiful. Just like this like give him the assist. I'm not sure. I'm not sure he definitely

1018
01:38:45,660 --> 01:38:54,340
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

1019
01:38:55,300 --> 01:38:58,380
Pretended doesn't even look up. Just

1020
01:38:59,220 --> 01:39:04,460
Just pretends that he's doing it so completely open cage. Love it. Absolutely love it

1021
01:39:05,100 --> 01:39:09,140
And to be clear, there's a lot of modern players that are making moves that just

1022
01:39:10,020 --> 01:39:12,660
blow the mind I watched a clip the other day where

1023
01:39:13,660 --> 01:39:20,060
The guy what was going on he had a defender on him and he puts his stick out and

1024
01:39:20,580 --> 01:39:27,820
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

1025
01:39:28,340 --> 01:39:33,700
He didn't like it looks insane to watch. It's full speed. Everything just

1026
01:39:34,340 --> 01:39:37,100
Players are so good these days. Huh?

1027
01:39:38,180 --> 01:39:44,460
Super Mario was on a different level Literally like yeah, nice. Easy. He's

1028
01:39:44,900 --> 01:39:54,380
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

1029
01:39:54,500 --> 01:39:57,000
No, I'm gonna do three because we're minutes over time now

1030
01:39:58,180 --> 01:40:05,220
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

1031
01:40:05,220 --> 01:40:09,300
What is the jankiest most inefficient process you've ever seen a?

1032
01:40:10,980 --> 01:40:14,860
Tech industry giant have that is different from others. I think that's a process

1033
01:40:16,180 --> 01:40:24,860
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

1034
01:40:25,180 --> 01:40:30,380
I'm hiding behind that shield today You asked me a different day. I'm like, yeah, I've got company Floatplane

1035
01:40:31,660 --> 01:40:33,940
Whatever once that narcissist do it

1036
01:40:35,940 --> 01:40:40,420
I'm giving this to Linus. Oh Man, he's right

1037
01:40:40,460 --> 01:40:46,620
Yeah, no, we do He owns tech companies. That's my old anyways, whatever

1038
01:40:52,620 --> 01:40:54,620
These funds are paying dividend

1039
01:40:57,420 --> 01:41:00,660
Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna count this one

1040
01:41:00,660 --> 01:41:03,980
I'm gonna count this one and I'm gonna name them because I'm pretty sure

1041
01:41:04,260 --> 01:41:11,260
Everyone who worked there when I worked on this is gone. So this says absolutely nothing about the company in its current form

1042
01:41:11,260 --> 01:41:15,620
This was like sure ten years ago. Yeah, I don't even that CEO isn't there anymore. Okay

1043
01:41:16,940 --> 01:41:19,860
When I did a sponsored project for Ford

1044
01:41:20,860 --> 01:41:22,860
At the New York International Auto Show

1045
01:41:24,140 --> 01:41:28,620
This was this was a cluster bomb. I don't think it's gonna be controversial contacted us

1046
01:41:29,340 --> 01:41:36,140
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

1047
01:41:36,140 --> 01:41:40,860
They were like, okay, we want to bring you guys out for our sponsored social posts

1048
01:41:41,700 --> 01:41:49,220
and There's this round table discussion and we're and we're gonna be we're gonna be the first to

1049
01:41:49,740 --> 01:41:57,140
broadcast in 360 on Facebook which would have been a thing back then which would have been a thing back then and

1050
01:41:58,620 --> 01:42:03,460
We need you to do these Instagram posts and you know, whatever and I really didn't want to do it

1051
01:42:03,460 --> 01:42:09,380
I I really didn't want to because I was coming back from CES and CES is always a grind and

1052
01:42:10,020 --> 01:42:15,860
Particularly back then it was a grind and a half the way that we would tackle that show with very few people

1053
01:42:15,860 --> 01:42:20,700
It was it was I don't know how we did it So anyway, I literally couldn't anymore

1054
01:42:21,300 --> 01:42:27,340
The offer though and we needed the money. We really needed the money at the time and the offer was really good

1055
01:42:28,820 --> 01:42:34,880
so I agreed to fly back from Vegas to Vancouver on my original flight and then

1056
01:42:35,700 --> 01:42:39,860
Literally, I have a meal in the airport with my family and fly to New York

1057
01:42:40,100 --> 01:42:47,260
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

1058
01:42:47,260 --> 01:42:54,540
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

1059
01:42:54,540 --> 01:43:00,420
And I would go okay, how many how many like employee hours would this pay, right?

1060
01:43:00,420 --> 01:43:06,860
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

1061
01:43:06,860 --> 01:43:11,420
I have to take it. Yeah, I look it in. Yeah. Anyways, I'm not going to be clear

1062
01:43:11,420 --> 01:43:15,260
I wouldn't take it if there was anything an ethical problem with it or whatever else

1063
01:43:15,260 --> 01:43:19,180
But it was just it was like a couple sponsored Instagram posts for Ford who cares, right?

1064
01:43:19,180 --> 01:43:22,820
Like it didn't yeah, they weren't asking me to say anything that was untrue

1065
01:43:22,820 --> 01:43:26,380
It was so so it wasn't a question of that. It was just a question of okay

1066
01:43:26,380 --> 01:43:30,340
This is a perfectly okay project to take. Is it worth it? Yes

1067
01:43:31,540 --> 01:43:38,780
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

1068
01:43:39,740 --> 01:43:47,940
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

1069
01:43:48,380 --> 01:43:51,580
Approve and then they would go up or something

1070
01:43:51,580 --> 01:43:57,980
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

1071
01:43:57,980 --> 01:44:02,220
And they had a few key things that they wanted us to look at you know things like backup cameras and stuff

1072
01:44:02,220 --> 01:44:05,700
That would have been features back then and the reason that I'm counting this as a tech

1073
01:44:06,020 --> 01:44:10,860
Company is because Ford was in the midst of trying to rebrand themselves as a tech company

1074
01:44:12,340 --> 01:44:16,820
But I think they've kind of done I mean f-150 lightning is a pretty techy car at this point, right?

1075
01:44:17,420 --> 01:44:21,180
So so that's why I'm calling for a tech company because they were calling themselves a tech company

1076
01:44:21,180 --> 01:44:25,340
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

1077
01:44:26,220 --> 01:44:28,860
Influencers or whatever else right so anyway

1078
01:44:29,500 --> 01:44:34,620
I'm on the show floor, and I'm like, okay, so I'm done my Instagram posts. This doesn't seem like work

1079
01:44:35,340 --> 01:44:38,580
No offense to like Instagram influencers or whatever like that

1080
01:44:38,580 --> 01:44:41,980
That's some of them put like a ton of work into the staging and framing and whatever

1081
01:44:41,980 --> 01:44:48,500
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

1082
01:44:50,300 --> 01:44:54,100
I'm done like do you want to do YouTube video or something?

1083
01:44:54,700 --> 01:44:57,000
And they're basically like no

1084
01:44:57,780 --> 01:45:00,860
The KPI is Instagram posts. I'm like cuz like

1085
01:45:01,380 --> 01:45:05,540
I'll do it like this is pretty cool. Like I actually I like the products

1086
01:45:05,540 --> 01:45:09,660
I think they're cool like do like should I should I do that now? They're like no

1087
01:45:10,660 --> 01:45:16,420
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

1088
01:45:16,420 --> 01:45:21,260
Like I'm way bigger on YouTube. Do you want me to? But that's how rigid

1089
01:45:22,180 --> 01:45:29,340
icky the processes can be And it's I don't know about icky, but it's incompetent. I just I don't I

1090
01:45:33,060 --> 01:45:42,260
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

1091
01:45:42,260 --> 01:45:48,380
But then I would I would not function. Oh, I see what you're saying is a personal thing. Yeah, I get it

1092
01:45:48,380 --> 01:45:55,500
No, I get it Not even necessarily blaming them like it just I don't know what I think happened with someone bailed

1093
01:45:55,500 --> 01:45:59,660
And I think that it was someone with more Instagram following and at the end of the day

1094
01:45:59,740 --> 01:46:05,620
They just have their KPI and their KPI is they need a certain amount of like Instagram likes and they have a certain budget

1095
01:46:05,620 --> 01:46:09,300
So they go out and they get a stable of influencers that get them over their limit

1096
01:46:09,300 --> 01:46:18,380
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

1097
01:46:18,380 --> 01:46:22,500
Not their parameters so they don't care but the reason why that

1098
01:46:22,500 --> 01:46:27,580
Feels icky is because you don't feel like you're on part of a team because it's not part of the parameters

1099
01:46:27,580 --> 01:46:33,260
It doesn't help them at all. It doesn't help their team at all even though that would help the organization

1100
01:46:33,260 --> 01:46:38,100
It would help your your people as a whole but at that scale

1101
01:46:38,100 --> 01:46:41,620
I think this just happens it just happens where that's irrelevant now

1102
01:46:41,620 --> 01:46:46,260
Yeah, and I just I just don't like that KPI stands for key performance indicator

1103
01:46:46,260 --> 01:46:51,540
So basically the the the proof of performance that you like did your job

1104
01:46:52,180 --> 01:46:56,660
So like if you're a sales representative your main KPI is going to be selling lots of stuff

1105
01:46:56,700 --> 01:47:01,260
Like think about think about your customer care your KPI would be customer satisfaction surveys

1106
01:47:01,700 --> 01:47:05,580
Think about when we started putting flow plane exclusives on

1107
01:47:05,740 --> 01:47:07,740
To YouTube for YouTube members

1108
01:47:09,620 --> 01:47:13,740
People came to me with that like tiptoeing super hard

1109
01:47:14,380 --> 01:47:20,380
Because they expected me to be pissed and my response was like this seems like the right move for the company overhaul

1110
01:47:20,940 --> 01:47:27,020
Good job But that isn't it's not it shouldn't be protectionism

1111
01:47:27,660 --> 01:47:31,220
Yeah, I mean the experience is still better on flow plane. You still get more stuff on flow plane

1112
01:47:31,620 --> 01:47:38,060
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

1113
01:47:38,380 --> 01:47:43,140
Do any engagement with us whatsoever off of YouTube? That is a fact

1114
01:47:43,140 --> 01:47:47,260
Yeah, their payment information is already there and it's more convenient for them to just click a button

1115
01:47:47,260 --> 01:47:54,780
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

1116
01:47:54,780 --> 01:47:58,540
Sure sounds good and we will give them something in return, but that perspective is a big part of why

1117
01:47:59,660 --> 01:48:03,460
You were probably always destined for some kind of management

1118
01:48:03,980 --> 01:48:07,780
and some people don't see that

1119
01:48:07,780 --> 01:48:10,300
perspective and sometimes it's not even their own fault because

1120
01:48:11,140 --> 01:48:16,180
They can I think I think people can end up really disenfranchised when their leadership

1121
01:48:16,700 --> 01:48:26,180
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

1122
01:48:26,980 --> 01:48:35,340
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

1123
01:48:35,340 --> 01:48:40,020
I think this happens a lot Let's say I was that sales rep and I'm only incentivized by like selling things

1124
01:48:40,060 --> 01:48:43,580
But I would spend probably a solid half an hour of my day every day

1125
01:48:44,180 --> 01:48:46,580
Making sure that I tied it up the front desk

1126
01:48:47,700 --> 01:48:51,300
Because because no one else was doing it and I'm still like mostly hitting my quota

1127
01:48:51,300 --> 01:48:55,940
But then I have someone yelling at me because I'm such a good sales person and I'm not just talking to customers

1128
01:48:56,500 --> 01:49:02,020
Then I might stop doing it Right, and I think that I think that I think sometimes that might be okay

1129
01:49:02,020 --> 01:49:06,380
But it's often not like think think about if that sales rep did do the YouTube video with you

1130
01:49:06,380 --> 01:49:08,780
It gets a million views, but your

1131
01:49:09,780 --> 01:49:14,020
50,000 like Instagram post didn't go up. I have no idea how many likes we get on Instagram very few

1132
01:49:14,020 --> 01:49:17,660
We had a pretty small following on Instagram 5,000 like it's not even sure yeah

1133
01:49:17,980 --> 01:49:20,980
2000 thanks one thousand. I have no idea anymore

1134
01:49:21,620 --> 01:49:32,620
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

1135
01:49:33,420 --> 01:49:40,500
to me Huge win. I know whatever I know, but I maybe he loses out on

1136
01:49:41,020 --> 01:49:46,180
Some in personal income or whatever else for that reason like that can really bash people down

1137
01:49:47,740 --> 01:49:54,140
You have a miniscule ego compared to most the executives and project managers I've seen and he tagged me I don't

1138
01:49:55,140 --> 01:49:59,540
Definitely hasn't I

1139
01:50:01,100 --> 01:50:06,460
You actually nailed it by the way, I think your first guess was 5,000 likes. No, I think I said 50

1140
01:50:06,460 --> 01:50:11,860
Oh, did you I corrected down to 5,000. Okay. Well, this was the 360 degree camera set up. Yeah

1141
01:50:11,860 --> 01:50:16,620
I think yeah, yeah, this one this one was part of the sponsored thing

1142
01:50:17,660 --> 01:50:29,380
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

1143
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:34,340
think yeah, I I would imagine it didn't make it past legal or something and

1144
01:50:35,100 --> 01:50:39,620
The scuttlebutt that I heard was that what's the what's the American?

1145
01:50:39,620 --> 01:50:43,580
I know Ryan Seacrest actually co-hosted the panel and

1146
01:50:44,140 --> 01:50:49,140
The scuttlebutt that I heard was that that was a 100s of thousands of dollars bill

1147
01:50:49,620 --> 01:50:51,940
For a piece of content that was never published

1148
01:50:53,460 --> 01:50:56,860
Not to mention so hundred hundreds of thousands of dollars for Ryan Seacrest alone

1149
01:50:57,140 --> 01:51:02,140
Who my understanding who was only there for part like the first half along with Ford CEO at the time?

1150
01:51:02,140 --> 01:51:05,820
And then they're like VP of technology or whatever it stepped in for both of them

1151
01:51:05,820 --> 01:51:14,220
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

1152
01:51:14,700 --> 01:51:19,620
By the time we were done wrapping The second part

1153
01:51:20,460 --> 01:51:26,180
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

1154
01:51:26,500 --> 01:51:32,460
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

1155
01:51:32,460 --> 01:51:37,060
Like I said none of the people that I interacted with there's any way that they're still at Ford at this point

1156
01:51:37,060 --> 01:51:43,300
This is 483 weeks ago. This was in 2016 so nine years ago

1157
01:51:44,340 --> 01:51:50,780
nine plus years ago but I think that what I was the point I was trying to make is that

1158
01:51:51,740 --> 01:51:56,060
processes can get extremely KPI focused and

1159
01:51:57,140 --> 01:52:01,500
Very focused on the trees when the forest is much more important

1160
01:52:01,500 --> 01:52:07,500
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

1161
01:52:09,700 --> 01:52:14,700
Mostly to illustrate that this kind of thing happens all the time super common

1162
01:52:14,700 --> 01:52:21,340
And that is a big part of my perspective in general where you'll see other tech media

1163
01:52:21,900 --> 01:52:26,900
Go malice malice malice scamming taking advantage of the customer

1164
01:52:28,980 --> 01:52:33,460
When from what I've experienced the probably like perverse incentives

1165
01:52:34,660 --> 01:52:42,860
Likely explanation is incompetence because there is no way that them refusing a free YouTube video from a youtuber

1166
01:52:44,740 --> 01:52:51,380
Instead of some crappy Instagram posts from a not Instagrammer had anything to do with anything other than incompetence

1167
01:52:51,980 --> 01:52:56,100
And that's just that's just the truth. That's just the way it is

1168
01:52:58,380 --> 01:53:02,180
To address the the ego comics I've been trying to think here. I'm like really surprised

1169
01:53:02,180 --> 01:53:07,540
Wow, you're really you're really uh, but I think I what kind of ego would you have to have to read that

1170
01:53:08,460 --> 01:53:13,640
Say it out loud and still be thinking about it when I'm saying things that are so much more interesting

1171
01:53:14,700 --> 01:53:16,700
I

1172
01:53:18,100 --> 01:53:24,820
Tend to I tend to align really well with with team effort. Yes, I tend to live really well with team effort

1173
01:53:24,820 --> 01:53:31,300
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

1174
01:53:31,300 --> 01:53:36,020
But I will out try hard like anyone

1175
01:53:36,380 --> 01:53:46,260
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

1176
01:53:50,260 --> 01:53:56,060
Not that not the brightest intellects, but we're really good at school she called them a getters

1177
01:53:56,740 --> 01:54:02,500
Because they got a's But they brute-forced it. You are not an a getter

1178
01:54:02,540 --> 01:54:09,220
No, you are actually someone who effortlessly got a's in school. Yeah, but you're you're one of those people who is

1179
01:54:10,140 --> 01:54:13,980
Very very smart, but like I was talking about earlier

1180
01:54:14,500 --> 01:54:19,780
Smart enough to know that you're not the smartest guy in the room. Yeah, like that's the thing, right?

1181
01:54:20,540 --> 01:54:26,700
and Like Luke was talking about with the like the percentile differences Luke could be 99th percentile

1182
01:54:26,820 --> 01:54:30,580
He could be smarter than literally 90 99 out of a hundred people

1183
01:54:30,580 --> 01:54:36,580
But then I hang out with but the insert name the 99.5 percent and the 99.9 percent

1184
01:54:38,260 --> 01:54:42,140
Basically are to him what he is to someone who gets

1185
01:54:44,780 --> 01:54:47,180
Passed over for every promotion, you know

1186
01:54:47,820 --> 01:54:55,700
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

1187
01:54:56,340 --> 01:55:00,980
Communication skills the amount of wasted potential being personable who are smart

1188
01:55:00,980 --> 01:55:07,460
But have no grit or will put no effort into anything is insane. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know

1189
01:55:09,860 --> 01:55:12,980
Scrappy DP says Luke not 99.9 percent we know

1190
01:55:13,900 --> 01:55:19,100
We know oh and actually the had matter says you can't be over 99 percentile

1191
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:26,900
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

1192
01:55:26,900 --> 01:55:33,460
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

1193
01:55:33,460 --> 01:55:42,580
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

1194
01:55:42,580 --> 01:55:45,300
Yeah, and that even assumes that the IQ scale is

1195
01:55:45,940 --> 01:55:51,700
Accurate which we know for a fact that it isn't it's just kind of from my understanding the closest

1196
01:55:51,700 --> 01:55:55,620
Measure that we have of objective analysis intellectual

1197
01:55:56,420 --> 01:56:04,740
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

1198
01:56:05,620 --> 01:56:12,580
um I don't know ability to work as a team social skills in general different things like that can people can often struggle

1199
01:56:13,220 --> 01:56:18,260
um As humans or social creatures and you kind of have to accomplish things together generally

1200
01:56:19,220 --> 01:56:21,460
So I think people get held back from that sometimes

1201
01:56:23,620 --> 01:56:28,900
Um, okay. Oh, actually this is this is really funny. This is not really a great analogy

1202
01:56:28,980 --> 01:56:35,940
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

1203
01:56:36,260 --> 01:56:39,140
Is the same amount of xp as level 1 to level 92

1204
01:56:39,540 --> 01:56:42,420
It kind of though like there's a runescape version of that too

1205
01:56:43,140 --> 01:56:46,260
98 is half of 99 or something like that. I don't quote me

1206
01:56:46,260 --> 01:56:50,180
I haven't played 2007 scape in a long time. It's actually wild though. Like it

1207
01:56:51,140 --> 01:56:59,780
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

1208
01:57:01,140 --> 01:57:06,340
All right, no skill waste. What are we doing? Uh, now you're gonna read the Floatplane announcement. Oh, okay

1209
01:57:07,380 --> 01:57:11,060
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Right away, sir um

1210
01:57:11,060 --> 01:57:17,300
I've always said Who the f*** is daniel beser? But i've never asked what the f*** does daniel beser do?

1211
01:57:18,420 --> 01:57:21,780
The answer to answer one of the two questions

1212
01:57:22,100 --> 01:57:28,420
We caught up with Dan in a new series Dan's dailies where he shares some of his day-to-day activities

1213
01:57:29,540 --> 01:57:34,180
um The current like dislike ratio on this is infinity

1214
01:57:34,900 --> 01:57:42,260
um People I think it's already on hiatus Dan's dailies is already on hiatus. Oh, yeah

1215
01:57:42,580 --> 01:57:48,580
It like I had to get canceled halfway through. Oh, uh, because I stopped doing different things. Yeah

1216
01:57:48,900 --> 01:57:56,820
And it got really really really boring. Okay, cool. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, anyway people really love this video

1217
01:57:57,300 --> 01:58:05,140
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

1218
01:58:05,780 --> 01:58:11,460
Do you remember how much we paid for a stupid mic flag back our first trade show? No, but I remember it was like

1219
01:58:12,020 --> 01:58:16,420
Enough that we talked about it a lot unreasonably expensive

1220
01:58:16,420 --> 01:58:22,420
And then because it cost it cost so much to like get it personalized

1221
01:58:22,900 --> 01:58:28,100
I just like used a I used my printer at home and then I used packing tape

1222
01:58:28,820 --> 01:58:34,980
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

1223
01:58:35,060 --> 01:58:38,180
Dude, I'm gonna find footage of it. Uh youtube hold on

1224
01:58:38,500 --> 01:58:43,940
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

1225
01:58:44,500 --> 01:58:50,980
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

1226
01:58:51,380 --> 01:58:54,820
But we're dressed up. I'm sure you can tell how many videos I shot in a single day

1227
01:58:55,220 --> 01:58:59,540
Because I'm wearing the same shirt in this one this one this one and this one

1228
01:59:00,340 --> 01:59:05,460
Absolutely wild. They're likely more. There you go. Yeah, man. Those days were those days were wild

1229
01:59:06,020 --> 01:59:11,140
Uh, okay. Was it computex? I think it might have been computex because we did the the sponsorship with wd

1230
01:59:12,180 --> 01:59:15,780
Look at this guy. Oh, yeah. Look at this guy. Absolutely chad

1231
01:59:16,340 --> 01:59:20,340
um No, I didn't have a mic flag yet

1232
01:59:20,900 --> 01:59:25,060
Oh, man, remember when ed did this cool because we were like traveling. We took a plane there

1233
01:59:25,620 --> 01:59:31,460
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?

1234
01:59:31,620 --> 01:59:35,460
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?

1235
01:59:35,460 --> 01:59:39,780
Sure, thanks. Uh, so yeah, like ratio really good. There's also a weird invitation, but okay

1236
01:59:44,740 --> 01:59:48,820
There's also a small discussion on air table a whole new system Dan is building uh

1237
01:59:49,620 --> 01:59:54,500
Yeah, uh, is building with the help of nicole at air table isn't the system that he's building

1238
01:59:54,500 --> 02:00:00,580
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

1239
02:00:02,420 --> 02:00:04,420
I'm such a

1240
02:00:10,820 --> 02:00:18,100
Also season two of why is when late is now out and Linus is somehow winning question mark question mark. Is he cheating?

1241
02:00:19,060 --> 02:00:24,500
Never. Yes. Is Luke just slacking off? No and breaking the law. Yes

1242
02:00:25,300 --> 02:00:28,980
What's more of a cheat bending the rules or literally breaking the law?

1243
02:00:29,940 --> 02:00:34,420
It wasn't breaking the law of the competition though. It was just breaking the law

1244
02:00:35,620 --> 02:00:38,900
Of the country, which is less important objectively

1245
02:00:40,740 --> 02:00:42,740
Federal crimes are less important

1246
02:00:44,100 --> 02:00:50,340
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

1247
02:00:50,340 --> 02:00:52,340
See sweet

1248
02:01:00,420 --> 02:01:05,540
Some of you may die, but at least I was not late that is a risk I'm willing to take

1249
02:01:11,460 --> 02:01:17,060
If you love the processes or want to see if Linus is a snakey cheat and stinking cheating cheater

1250
02:01:17,140 --> 02:01:20,660
That's there's no way that's in the dog. That says there's word for word

1251
02:01:21,460 --> 02:01:29,780
sneaky cheaty stinking cheating cheater Wow, I feel personally attacked right now. Check out because I'm being personally attacked right now

1252
02:01:30,340 --> 02:01:36,020
That's true. Uh, just like an executive check out LMG.gg slash Floatplane or

1253
02:01:37,060 --> 02:01:42,100
Yes Or youtube members plus for the lazy

1254
02:01:43,060 --> 02:01:47,460
You Can't call our supporters

1255
02:01:48,500 --> 02:01:51,460
I have to I have to you can't call our supporters lazy

1256
02:01:53,380 --> 02:01:56,180
It's it's in the dock. I gotta do it. Okay. Well, I found it

1257
02:01:56,660 --> 02:02:02,020
Uh, we gave you one of those zoom mics because oh dude, I'm actually so dapper

1258
02:02:02,740 --> 02:02:04,740
And then this is this is me

1259
02:02:06,580 --> 02:02:08,580
So

1260
02:02:13,060 --> 02:02:24,420
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

1261
02:02:25,060 --> 02:02:28,340
Um So if we look closely there you go

1262
02:02:28,900 --> 02:02:31,860
You can really see so it wasn't quite the same width

1263
02:02:32,660 --> 02:02:38,100
So I had to Do a piece and then if I wrapped it around it kind of looked stupid

1264
02:02:38,820 --> 02:02:43,620
And remember okay, so hold on hold on if I wrapped it all the way around it would slip off

1265
02:02:44,500 --> 02:02:48,100
Right, right. So what I had to do was I had to

1266
02:02:49,460 --> 02:02:53,780
I I lined it up on two sides And then I would tape all the way around

1267
02:02:53,860 --> 02:02:57,700
And then I put the other two on and then taped all the way around

1268
02:02:57,940 --> 02:03:03,700
And I had to do the top and then a little Sliver at the bottom because it wasn't quite quite the right width

1269
02:03:04,180 --> 02:03:08,820
And if I didn't do that then it would like fray and look crappy at the bottom

1270
02:03:09,220 --> 02:03:16,180
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

1271
02:03:17,140 --> 02:03:22,900
Hand-done. Oh, I yeah, it blends in perfectly. Was this where we sponsored by ncx for that show. Yeah

1272
02:03:24,820 --> 02:03:28,260
Yeah, because we were still working with them on a regular basis. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

1273
02:03:28,980 --> 02:03:34,740
Also, I just completely like lose the flag in this part of the shoot apparently that's good. Good job Linus

1274
02:03:38,740 --> 02:03:44,580
That man he deserves every bit of ego that he has he's destined for great things for getting his forgetting his mic

1275
02:03:47,300 --> 02:03:52,580
Tynan says I see nothing has changed. It's just scaled up if it works I sits

1276
02:03:53,540 --> 02:04:00,340
For sure. Okay. Wow. What are we supposed to be talking about? Probably sponsors. No, we should do a topic

1277
02:04:00,340 --> 02:04:05,620
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

1278
02:04:05,620 --> 02:04:08,820
Okay. Oh, no, this is too much pressure. I've never had to do this before

1279
02:04:09,620 --> 02:04:14,260
I mean if we're talking about if we're talking about sponsors talking about weird frity and slip

1280
02:04:14,820 --> 02:04:18,500
Do you know it's not it's normal Don't

1281
02:04:18,500 --> 02:04:21,300
Don't go outside for a few hours

1282
02:04:23,060 --> 02:04:27,380
All right, just for that trade war escalates Oh

1283
02:04:28,660 --> 02:04:35,220
Okay, how about discord trials discord sounds fun. That's a very oh, yes great platform that I like very much

1284
02:04:36,420 --> 02:04:41,620
Discord has his hot water this week as new jersey becomes the first state to sue the platform

1285
02:04:41,940 --> 02:04:47,220
Alleging it failed to protect kids from harassment abuse and sexual exploitation

1286
02:04:47,460 --> 02:04:51,060
The lawsuit claims discord marketed itself as a safe place for kids

1287
02:04:51,780 --> 02:04:55,060
I don't think I've personally seen that I've ever seen that but okay

1288
02:04:55,700 --> 02:04:59,140
Even though it knew its safety tools didn't work that I believe

1289
02:04:59,940 --> 02:05:08,020
Me too It highlights how easy it is for predators to contact minors. Thanks to discord's default settings. That's true. Yep

1290
02:05:08,820 --> 02:05:13,140
And lack of real age verification all the way in a birthday doesn't count

1291
02:05:13,940 --> 02:05:20,900
Meanwhile discord is quietly testing a new age verification system in the uk and australia that asks users

1292
02:05:21,300 --> 02:05:25,460
To scan their face or upload an id which sounds horrific

1293
02:05:25,620 --> 02:05:30,820
So, yeah, can I interrupt for a second here and say like yes discord lacks real age verification

1294
02:05:31,060 --> 02:05:39,140
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

1295
02:05:39,140 --> 02:05:44,980
Sounds horrible. Sorry. I would I would like if they change the defaults. That's it. Maybe if they added a parental controls mode

1296
02:05:45,060 --> 02:05:48,660
Does that exist wait? The system isn't all the time

1297
02:05:49,620 --> 02:05:54,980
Yeah, it's only when you encounter flagged nsfw content or try to change your sensitive content filter

1298
02:05:55,460 --> 02:05:58,580
That helps a little but not much. Yeah, okay carry on

1299
02:05:59,220 --> 02:06:07,220
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

1300
02:06:07,540 --> 02:06:14,900
Submit indeed discord yeah discord insists the data isn't stored face scans are processed on device and

1301
02:06:15,620 --> 02:06:19,220
Id images are deleted after verification meaning they're stored for a small period of time

1302
02:06:19,220 --> 02:06:26,820
But anyways, uh, if the system flags someone is underage they can retry request a manual review or risk a ban

1303
02:06:29,220 --> 02:06:33,380
I wonder if it's a ban from viewing that type of content or a ban off the platform probably ban off the platform

1304
02:06:33,860 --> 02:06:37,380
I had one of my kids discord account removed

1305
02:06:38,420 --> 02:06:40,660
Because they figured out they were a miner somehow

1306
02:06:41,540 --> 02:06:43,540
And then I made a new account for them

1307
02:06:45,620 --> 02:06:49,620
Is there parental controls for discord not very good, but they like exist

1308
02:06:49,780 --> 02:06:56,740
Well with my kids the parental controls are that I know your password and that I am I have full access to your computer

1309
02:06:57,380 --> 02:06:59,380
as your parent

1310
02:07:01,460 --> 02:07:03,460
Yeah

1311
02:07:05,220 --> 02:07:09,540
Uh, uh, Genesis says uh, someone probably reported your kid. Yeah, that makes sense

1312
02:07:10,500 --> 02:07:18,580
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

1313
02:07:18,660 --> 02:07:21,700
And australia's rules banning under 16s from social media

1314
02:07:22,420 --> 02:07:29,540
Our discussion question though is can any platform realistically protect kids without unreasonably sacrificing privacy or usability?

1315
02:07:29,860 --> 02:07:34,180
Thank you. Luke. This is a really long and nuanced conversation. It's really good that we're able to

1316
02:07:34,820 --> 02:07:40,580
Like turn this into a to an actual topic we can discuss rather than just reading a thing. I think we need better

1317
02:07:41,380 --> 02:07:46,980
strong parental controls Like everywhere and I I don't think these types like

1318
02:07:47,620 --> 02:07:53,860
Uploading your id to freaking every platform that exists is not an acceptable solution of my I can tell you right now

1319
02:07:53,940 --> 02:07:57,940
Parental controls are not going to be a solution either parental controls exist for lots of these

1320
02:07:58,260 --> 02:08:03,540
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

1321
02:08:03,620 --> 02:08:10,340
Like I've talked to I've told this story before but like hanging out with normie parents of my kids friends

1322
02:08:10,820 --> 02:08:16,340
Has been extremely eye-opening for me. Yeah, they literally don't even know what the fuck discord is

1323
02:08:16,500 --> 02:08:20,660
Yeah, that's crazy until the school sends out a memo warning about kids

1324
02:08:21,380 --> 02:08:24,340
Bullying each other on discord. They're like, well, what's a discord?

1325
02:08:24,580 --> 02:08:30,100
They they literally don't even know and their kids are like over 10 wild and they're like all on discord

1326
02:08:30,100 --> 02:08:34,900
Of course there that's wild I just I the biggest pushback for me is not actually the fact that like

1327
02:08:35,300 --> 02:08:39,060
It's extremely obvious that one of these platforms is going to get hacked at some point in time

1328
02:08:39,380 --> 02:08:42,820
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

1329
02:08:42,820 --> 02:08:46,740
But yeah, the malicious attacker does that's not even my main complaint

1330
02:08:46,900 --> 02:08:52,500
My main complaint is the person that could be potentially trying to exploit your child

1331
02:08:52,900 --> 02:08:56,580
Sure could try to use some form of fishing style attack

1332
02:08:57,060 --> 02:09:07,140
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

1333
02:09:07,540 --> 02:09:13,780
Create a fishing scenario where you can ask for photos and id and we should just not do this to begin with

1334
02:09:13,940 --> 02:09:19,300
In my I really don't think you're going to stop anything people will very likely find ways around this

1335
02:09:19,700 --> 02:09:26,260
Part of the problem too is just how archaic our id systems are like the fact that your social security number or in Canada

1336
02:09:26,340 --> 02:09:31,780
Your sin number is like a permanent number and like once people have it they like

1337
02:09:32,580 --> 02:09:42,340
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

1338
02:09:42,420 --> 02:09:49,780
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

1339
02:09:50,420 --> 02:09:56,420
Like it that's insane But here we are. Yeah, like I didn't even pay for aquifax forever

1340
02:09:57,380 --> 02:10:01,700
That's a good system. Yeah, I told they get hacked. Um, I get it free because they got hacked

1341
02:10:02,660 --> 02:10:04,660
Me too, it's not even a joke

1342
02:10:09,140 --> 02:10:16,100
Fox and z i'm assuming new zealand says discord can't stop fishers abusing their qr code logins on the browser

1343
02:10:16,180 --> 02:10:19,060
Why should we trust them for scanning faces and id securely?

1344
02:10:19,380 --> 02:10:24,820
This is my point and it honestly has nothing to do with trusting discord. You can't trust any of them

1345
02:10:25,860 --> 02:10:29,220
It's not it's not i'm not even i don't know i don't know actually

1346
02:10:29,940 --> 02:10:34,180
I know I I take a I take extreme

1347
02:10:34,740 --> 02:10:36,740
exception

1348
02:10:37,780 --> 02:10:39,780
Mr. Mark Zuckerberg

1349
02:10:42,340 --> 02:10:47,300
I was wondering where he's gonna go with it. Can't even trust 4chan face book face book

1350
02:10:47,780 --> 02:10:52,340
Engaged in absolutely no anti competitive

1351
02:10:54,180 --> 02:10:58,820
Sorry, I can't even I can't even that would be such a difficult like thing to try to

1352
02:10:59,300 --> 02:11:01,300
Even do it with a straight face. Yeah, okay

1353
02:11:02,420 --> 02:11:10,580
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

1354
02:11:10,740 --> 02:11:18,020
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

1355
02:11:18,020 --> 02:11:20,660
But once once it doesn't anymore than you shouldn't yeah

1356
02:11:21,460 --> 02:11:24,820
Like we uh, yeah, someone said even the LMG forum got hacked. That's my point

1357
02:11:25,140 --> 02:11:30,500
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

1358
02:11:30,740 --> 02:11:33,460
Yeah, I mean we don't write the software the forum runs on no

1359
02:11:34,660 --> 02:11:37,620
You know so like we do our best, but uh

1360
02:11:38,660 --> 02:11:47,060
It is what it is every platform is vulnerable every single thing ever every lock every physical lock every software lock every door

1361
02:11:47,140 --> 02:11:54,020
Every wall every single thing ever is vulnerable to something this is wild nothing is ever dead antisocial in Floatplane chat

1362
02:11:54,500 --> 02:11:57,460
My wife got a letter in the mail trying to sell her stuff

1363
02:11:58,180 --> 02:12:01,780
It was addressed to her fake name that she only uses on facebook

1364
02:12:05,300 --> 02:12:09,700
Wild yeah, love it great. What a good world. Uh Dan, what are we supposed to be doing?

1365
02:12:10,580 --> 02:12:17,940
Oh, yeah sponsors the show has brought you today by net data Have you ever wished you could actually see what's going on in your systems in real time?

1366
02:12:18,900 --> 02:12:24,020

It's super awesome. We love this thing. Oh cool. I didn't know they were a sponsor

1369
02:12:35,220 --> 02:12:40,980
Uh instead of juggling multiple tools and dashboards net data lets you see all your data at a glance with a clean slick

1370
02:12:41,300 --> 02:12:47,780

1399
02:15:23,060 --> 02:15:25,060
um

1400
02:15:28,980 --> 02:15:34,420
Really you guys are water boys today. I don't know why I'm on my 4th. I have an iron bladder

1401
02:15:35,380 --> 02:15:39,540
I think it's from I I refer to it as gamer bladder

1402
02:15:41,220 --> 02:15:47,220
Gamer bladder. Yeah, I've started adopting gamer bladder as well. Yeah, sorry. I just muted there. Um, but yeah, it's like

1403
02:15:48,020 --> 02:15:52,020
I don't know. Yeah something about today

1404
02:15:52,020 --> 02:15:57,220
Yeah, speaking about about today. Should we do a merge message break or should I find another article?

1405
02:15:57,860 --> 02:16:04,500
Um topic. Why'd I say article? I mean there are articles sort of I guess maybe I guess

1406
02:16:05,780 --> 02:16:10,100
Merge message. Yes. No question mark. Oh, I think there's another one in here for you

1407
02:16:14,020 --> 02:16:18,740
Hey, look, it's a do you prefer working on your soft skills or technical skills?

1408
02:16:18,900 --> 02:16:23,540
I've always been told my soft skills are great. So I end up in main positions

1409
02:16:23,940 --> 02:16:26,340
But sometimes I hesitate if it's the right call

1410
02:16:28,660 --> 02:16:36,580
Hmm I find working on technical skills to be more fun and feel more rewarding in the moment. I feel like

1411
02:16:37,060 --> 02:16:46,340
working on soft skills Is less fun, especially because working on something often means failing to a certain degree and failing with soft skills

1412
02:16:46,980 --> 02:16:53,060
sucks. Um But I find the long term not like short

1413
02:16:53,700 --> 02:16:56,820
short term dopaminergic response, but the long term

1414
02:16:57,620 --> 02:17:02,900
uh Deep appreciation response to working on soft skills to be higher. Um

1415
02:17:04,820 --> 02:17:08,260
Yeah, maybe that's a good answer. Maybe not we're on with that

1416
02:17:09,300 --> 02:17:13,220
Um, maybe I'll find another topic because I was relatively short. Do you have any thoughts on that Dan?

1417
02:17:16,180 --> 02:17:19,780
I don't know the thing is like your your hard skills can be done

1418
02:17:21,380 --> 02:17:24,340
By yourself soft skills you need other people to do that

1419
02:17:24,580 --> 02:17:28,340
And so if you're not if you're not setting up an environment where you're interacting with people to

1420
02:17:29,300 --> 02:17:31,300
You know work on soft skills, then it's not

1421
02:17:32,420 --> 02:17:37,220
Yeah You want to jump to the pool robot video?

1422
02:17:37,860 --> 02:17:41,860
You can say controversy thing. I don't even know what it is to be honest. I don't know what it is either

1423
02:17:42,260 --> 02:17:46,740
Oh, yeah, we uploaded our pool cleaning robot video today, which obviously stirred up some comments

1424
02:17:47,060 --> 02:17:50,100
Um, so we want to have an open discussion with you guys point number one

1425
02:17:50,340 --> 02:17:54,260
Why don't they just go rent a pool somewhere else so they don't have to blur things

1426
02:17:54,900 --> 02:17:58,180
Um, buying people to loan us a pool actually is not that easy

1427
02:17:58,500 --> 02:18:03,460
Especially if we're going to like hug stuff in it. It needs to be not clean. Yeah

1428
02:18:04,740 --> 02:18:07,140
Most pools that you can rent are going to be clean

1429
02:18:08,020 --> 02:18:14,580
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

1430
02:18:15,140 --> 02:18:19,700
Better slash faster to have the auto blur tool navigate around the host rather than trying to track individual Windows

1431
02:18:19,700 --> 02:18:23,460
If the camera is moving point number two, why do we make pool bot videos?

1432
02:18:24,180 --> 02:18:27,220
Short answer is right in the name of the video showcase

1433
02:18:27,780 --> 02:18:33,700
um Got a great world-class team here. They need great world-class money

1434
02:18:34,020 --> 02:18:42,180
Um, we've always tried to be extremely clear when we do these showcases versus an editorial or a sponsored video that is

1435
02:18:43,460 --> 02:18:47,140
Integrated into the content um

1436
02:18:47,140 --> 02:18:50,420
We explained this in our how LTT makes money video and ultimately we turned down

1437
02:18:50,980 --> 02:18:56,260
Way more offers for showcases than we accept. It's only when we think we can make a video that's worth watching

1438
02:18:56,260 --> 02:19:00,180
I mean, I watched that video. I thought it was actually pretty entertaining. I think elijah did a great job

1439
02:19:00,740 --> 02:19:06,820
um And we let the host kind of carry the entertainment when we decide to take these kinds of showcases

1440
02:19:06,900 --> 02:19:12,500
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

1441
02:19:12,820 --> 02:19:17,140
So it would be typical for a video like that to go up on a friday when

1442
02:19:17,700 --> 02:19:22,500
If you are more into things that are not just a sponsored pool robot video, you could also watch the WAN Show

1443
02:19:22,980 --> 02:19:25,860
So discussion question here is what could we improve next time? I mean

1444
02:19:26,740 --> 02:19:31,940
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

1445
02:19:32,420 --> 02:19:37,140
Um, you know try to make it so we don't have to blur as much. I think that um

1446
02:19:38,100 --> 02:19:42,820
I think that's the biggest one. I think that's what most people were mostly concerned about was the blurring

1447
02:19:42,900 --> 02:19:45,300
But in terms of the actual content of the video

1448
02:19:46,340 --> 02:19:52,660
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

1449
02:19:52,660 --> 02:19:58,580
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

1450
02:19:58,580 --> 02:20:03,940
Because uh blurring bothers you a smart angle because I understand this content could be difficult to

1451
02:20:04,740 --> 02:20:07,780
Make interesting, but I'm skimming through it right now and that seems kind of cool

1452
02:20:07,780 --> 02:20:13,700
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

1453
02:20:14,420 --> 02:20:17,540
Like it would be done at that point. Um

1454
02:20:18,260 --> 02:20:25,460
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

1455
02:20:26,340 --> 02:20:32,340
Dragging sand and rocks and fake leaves out of my pool that elijah put there. Yeah. Yeah, I also

1456
02:20:33,300 --> 02:20:44,660
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

1457
02:20:45,220 --> 02:20:47,220
um

1458
02:20:49,220 --> 02:20:53,620
That guy uh Here hold on

1459
02:20:53,620 --> 02:20:58,100
Yeah, I sent this to him Yeah, I'm gonna bring that uh

1460
02:20:58,500 --> 02:21:02,820
Someone just said an hour of cvo time on cleaning a pool. Yeah, but as the vision officer

1461
02:21:02,820 --> 02:21:09,060
He could see the stuff at the bottom of the pool more easily and you forget that my main role is

1462
02:21:10,420 --> 02:21:18,100
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

1463
02:21:18,580 --> 02:21:23,060
But the thing that I actually spend the majority of my time on day today is more along the lines of

1464
02:21:23,620 --> 02:21:28,420
primary host and editor in chief And oh no, and that that

1465
02:21:29,780 --> 02:21:37,060
That encompasses a lot of different things like today I was actually on set for an entire shoot that I participated in only minimally

1466
02:21:37,540 --> 02:21:41,780
Just as a training exercise for a couple of hosts one of whom was relatively

1467
02:21:42,420 --> 02:21:46,340
Uh inexperienced still and you know, they just wanted me to

1468
02:21:47,460 --> 02:21:52,740
Yeah, I thought that was really cool because the goal has always been to be a real company that isn't just

1469
02:21:53,300 --> 02:21:57,620
A youtuber and his band of merry men, you know and some women even these days

1470
02:21:58,020 --> 02:22:02,900
Um, you got that picture for you to be a real company, right? And part of being a real company is succession

1471
02:22:03,460 --> 02:22:06,020
I am not going to be young and hip and cool

1472
02:22:06,660 --> 02:22:12,980
Well, ever but um, I'll be even less young and less hip and less cool tomorrow than I was yesterday

1473
02:22:12,980 --> 02:22:17,540
What do you mean? I know that's not very narcissistic. I know I know well

1474
02:22:18,260 --> 02:22:20,980
What happened there? Well, it's almost oh no

1475
02:22:21,540 --> 02:22:25,540
Okay, do you want to see the picture? Let's look at the picture. I sent Elijah

1476
02:22:28,820 --> 02:22:35,220
What I can't Here can you zoom in Dan? I can show us. Can you show us my filter?

1477
02:22:36,100 --> 02:22:38,660
For my pool. So those are your pool filters? Yeah

1478
02:22:42,020 --> 02:22:46,340
That's the smallest sand I think I've ever seen those are not cheap

1479
02:22:47,780 --> 02:22:55,780
Anyway Anyway, what a guy. What a guy. What a guy, but yeah, anyway, so pool bot video

1480
02:22:56,340 --> 02:22:58,580
Uh, basically, uh, I'm sorry

1481
02:22:59,700 --> 02:23:03,220
But I'll do it again Yeah

1482
02:23:03,220 --> 02:23:06,420
Well, I like a full disclosure, right? Full disclosure

1483
02:23:06,420 --> 02:23:10,740
We are fully disclosing everything that we're doing and if you want to watch a review

1484
02:23:10,820 --> 02:23:17,700
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

1485
02:23:18,180 --> 02:23:22,260
So which is like Pretty sick. I

1486
02:23:22,260 --> 02:23:26,740
Stack the content. Yep I'm sorry

1487
02:23:26,740 --> 02:23:33,460
About the overuse of blur I I yeah, I was skimming through it. It was a little egregious sometimes

1488
02:23:33,940 --> 02:23:39,460
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

1489
02:23:39,620 --> 02:23:45,620
But sometimes there's well, there's new factors new areas that we didn't anticipate needing to blur

1490
02:23:46,180 --> 02:23:48,980
So it is what it is. Got it. I mean I've

1491
02:23:49,540 --> 02:23:54,340
We have actually talked internally for years and years and years about just buying a house

1492
02:23:55,060 --> 02:24:02,980
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

1493
02:24:03,860 --> 02:24:07,700
Anyone close to here would be kind of I my

1494
02:24:07,700 --> 02:24:11,940
My main objection to it is that we are taking a house off the market that someone could live in

1495
02:24:13,060 --> 02:24:18,260
Which like blows Oh, like shouldn't matter if we made enough houses

1496
02:24:19,700 --> 02:24:24,980
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

1497
02:24:24,980 --> 02:24:27,700
I mean like we collectively here in the area that we live

1498
02:24:28,420 --> 02:24:33,380
What if you built one? um That was like a set house

1499
02:24:33,380 --> 02:24:38,100
That's still a piece of residential zoned property that another developer almost certainly would have built a house on

1500
02:24:38,100 --> 02:24:41,220
Could you build a set house on non residential zoned property? I bet so

1501
02:24:41,620 --> 02:24:46,420
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

1502
02:24:47,140 --> 02:24:52,580
um I mean nothing's impossible, but it wouldn't have like a pool like it wouldn't be like a proper house

1503
02:24:52,660 --> 02:24:59,140
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

1504
02:25:00,180 --> 02:25:05,620
Are you fair now you need a house with like four pools so one can be getting dirty in your pool

1505
02:25:05,620 --> 02:25:07,620
Yeah

1506
02:25:08,740 --> 02:25:12,340
A dirty pool factory robot race four-way race we need four pools

1507
02:25:12,420 --> 02:25:17,140
Yeah, you couldn't possibly have them clean the pool one at a time in serial it takes too long

1508
02:25:18,020 --> 02:25:22,900
Um, okay, what are we supposed to be talking about? Uh, some other topic

1509
02:25:25,220 --> 02:25:28,980
Let's see. How about we do uh good guy moves from companies

1510
02:25:29,300 --> 02:25:34,580
We asked we asked you guys last week to come up with some good guy moves from companies for an upcoming LTT

1511
02:25:34,900 --> 02:25:41,780
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

1512
02:25:42,340 --> 02:25:46,900
Dan if you want to post the reddit thread so if people could add more to them that would be awesome

1513
02:25:47,380 --> 02:25:50,740
um And so yeah, I want to highlight some of the cool ones you guys came up with and also

1514
02:25:51,380 --> 02:25:57,700
Solicit more examples of good guy moves from companies. So here's a few really good ones. This is from real train

1515
02:25:58,420 --> 02:26:01,220
Bittersweet one, but google's handling of the stadia shutdown

1516
02:26:01,700 --> 02:26:08,020
They refunded every game purchase and unlocked the proprietary controllers allowing them to be used as generic bluetooth and wired controllers

1517
02:26:08,660 --> 02:26:12,580
That was a good guy move. That was cool. That was actually legitimately cool

1518
02:26:12,900 --> 02:26:16,420
gimmick music one says for all the people give nintendo

1519
02:26:16,820 --> 02:26:20,900
When the we you had such atrocious sales the executives at nintendo all took pay cuts

1520
02:26:21,140 --> 02:26:24,420
So they would not need to lay anybody off. I reference this often

1521
02:26:24,500 --> 02:26:28,180
It's a decision that has stuck with me even today in the grand scheme of triple a gaming

1522
02:26:28,180 --> 02:26:33,060
I don't think that nintendo has ever implemented mass layoffs like sony ea or microsoft etc

1523
02:26:34,500 --> 02:26:41,700
yes And flakfreak says microsoft of all companies still developing balancing and supporting age of empires two since

1524
02:26:42,580 --> 02:26:48,900
1999 And doing it on steam not microsoft store. It's a smaller example, but it's a pretty cool one

1525
02:26:48,980 --> 02:26:53,940
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

1526
02:26:54,020 --> 02:27:02,580
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

1527
02:27:02,740 --> 02:27:07,620
So when we dug down for examples of companies doing good things, we had to oh, I already closed them

1528
02:27:07,700 --> 02:27:12,820
I'll be looked over span of a decade. Yeah. Well, give the community time. They're gonna find more stuff. Yeah

1529
02:27:13,300 --> 02:27:17,060
They're gonna do it. They're gonna do it. There is other more recent examples. I'm just saying

1530
02:27:18,740 --> 02:27:22,820
All right What else we got? Oh shoot

1531
02:27:22,820 --> 02:27:28,180
Lots of topics. I accidentally collapsed a few of my like backup topics here. So i'll leave that one open

1532
02:27:29,220 --> 02:27:35,700
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

1533
02:27:35,700 --> 02:27:42,740
Oh, oh, it's gone. Oh my goodness Dan, oh, you're killing me. Okay fine fine. Where is it now?

1534
02:27:44,740 --> 02:27:47,540
Oh, what happened? Why is the rtx 50 60 one?

1535
02:27:48,340 --> 02:27:54,100
Ah good old doc. I'm gonna I'm gonna put it above. It's just under main topics. Oh, okay

1536
02:27:54,260 --> 02:28:00,740
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

1537
02:28:00,740 --> 02:28:04,980
We have like two we have like seven more topics. Oh, do any of them matter 30?

1538
02:28:07,140 --> 02:28:13,140
HP agrees to a settlement over claims of falsely advertising pc and keyboards

1539
02:28:13,380 --> 02:28:19,860
Um, they're paying four million dollars after a class action complaint accused the pc maker of showing

1540
02:28:20,500 --> 02:28:24,820
Misleading original pricing for various computer mouse and keyboard products on their website

1541
02:28:25,380 --> 02:28:32,500
Among the claims, uh, the suit alleged that hp.com advertised an aio printer on sale for $899

1542
02:28:32,980 --> 02:28:36,260
And claimed the customer would save $100 instantly

1543
02:28:36,740 --> 02:28:41,940
Though the printer had not been advertised for $999 for more than six months

1544
02:28:43,220 --> 02:28:48,660
Permasale Is that a thing permasale? It's well, that's what I call it. What's the what's the like?

1545
02:28:48,740 --> 02:28:52,820
What's the maximum end of how long you can have a sale on for that's what fun fact?

1546
02:28:52,820 --> 02:28:59,380
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

1547
02:29:00,260 --> 02:29:02,260
In between the weekly special every week

1548
02:29:05,380 --> 02:29:10,180
That's so much better so that you could have hard drives on sale always

1549
02:29:10,740 --> 02:29:16,580
But they would not be in violation of any of these laws. There was a significant period of my life where I

1550
02:29:16,820 --> 02:29:22,100
I went meticulously through every single ncx weekly sale. Oh, me too. Yeah hondo p. Yeah

1551
02:29:23,140 --> 02:29:26,420
Um, anyway, hp isn't admitting any fault or liability

1552
02:29:26,980 --> 02:29:31,940
But the settlement will see the original complainants. Um, we'll get them up to $5,000 each

1553
02:29:32,260 --> 02:29:35,300
Which along with lawyer fees will come out of the four million dollar settlement pool

1554
02:29:35,620 --> 02:29:39,940
While class members will receive 10 to 100 dollars depending on the product purchased

1555
02:29:40,740 --> 02:29:43,940
And this is why I look at class actions. I'm just like, okay. That was

1556
02:29:45,140 --> 02:29:52,340
Really good use of time for so anyone other than the lawyer who was involved. Hey, how are all those honey lawsuits going?

1557
02:29:54,420 --> 02:29:57,860
Who knows who knows and I don't think anyone cares anymore

1558
02:29:58,420 --> 02:30:04,740
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

1559
02:30:05,380 --> 02:30:08,980
Um forget that company. I found an individual

1560
02:30:10,260 --> 02:30:15,860
Um, what is this EU thinks of children and takes action against harmful practices and videos? Yeah, this is cool

1561
02:30:16,020 --> 02:30:22,420
What is this after a complaint by the swedish consumers association the consumer protection corporation network

1562
02:30:23,060 --> 02:30:31,700
Cpc has taken action against Star stable entertainment ab makers of the massively multiplayer star stable online

1563
02:30:31,700 --> 02:30:37,700
Can you call it massively multiplayer if I've never heard of it and luke's never heard of it for pc and mac

1564
02:30:38,020 --> 02:30:42,740
And the star stable horses app for Android and iOS. I suspect that's more

1565
02:30:43,460 --> 02:30:46,980
I'll be working on this for now and you do fantastic. It's a horse game

1566
02:30:48,180 --> 02:30:52,820
Anyway carry on carry on. Wow the graphics are oh, I think I've I've heard of this. This is

1567
02:30:53,540 --> 02:30:58,740
Obscenely popular. Oh It's it's like girlies crack

1568
02:30:59,380 --> 02:31:05,620
Oh, that makes sense Yeah, that makes sense why we probably haven't heard of it right

1569
02:31:05,860 --> 02:31:10,020
Yeah, I love how the the hair on the horse is like amazing

1570
02:31:13,460 --> 02:31:18,660
Yeah, well you carry on Perfect. Um, yeah, so they have yeah

1571
02:31:19,540 --> 02:31:23,220
MMO for pc and mac and they have star stable horses app for Android and iOS

1572
02:31:23,620 --> 02:31:28,500
The cpc identified a number of practices that violate EU consumer protection regulations

1573
02:31:28,820 --> 02:31:33,700
Which could be harmful to children including direct appeals to children in advertisements

1574
02:31:33,940 --> 02:31:41,140
The use of pressuring techniques such as purchase through time limited practices a lack of clear and transparent information

1575
02:31:41,380 --> 02:31:49,060
And failure by the company to ensure that the influencers promoting their products clearly disclose commercial content. Ah, yes

1576
02:31:50,180 --> 02:31:55,540
Classic uh star stable entertainment has one month to respond with a plan to address these issues

1577
02:31:56,020 --> 02:32:01,780
Discussion question. What do you think of this seemingly very cooperative approach to enforcement?

1578
02:32:02,740 --> 02:32:07,060
Um I don't know. It seems cool

1579
02:32:07,700 --> 02:32:15,300
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

1580
02:32:15,380 --> 02:32:21,220
I've seen that before Um, I think it can make sense though. Often it's resource sharing and stuff like that

1581
02:32:21,700 --> 02:32:27,620
Um discussion question could star stable replace tape to tape as Linus's go-to game

1582
02:32:28,340 --> 02:32:33,300
I Jordan says I made you an account. It's under the LTT

1583
02:32:33,940 --> 02:32:39,220
In the password manager download here You're just playing in the browser. Do you want the more full fad experience? I

1584
02:32:39,860 --> 02:32:43,380
I can keep doing topics and you can my experience has already got enough

1585
02:32:43,860 --> 02:32:50,180
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

1586
02:32:50,980 --> 02:32:56,180
Uh, I really don't think I do. I think this is important content for wanshow

1587
02:32:56,340 --> 02:32:59,300
Don't think I do. I feel like you're doing a disservice to the people

1588
02:32:59,780 --> 02:33:06,820
Um by not getting a ribbon or something. Anyway, the eu seems to be figuring out things

1589
02:33:07,700 --> 02:33:11,620
Pretty good for the most part. This seems like another positive step in my opinion

1590
02:33:11,940 --> 02:33:16,660
Even though he didn't do it, jordan, I appreciate that you set up an account for him and everything

1591
02:33:17,380 --> 02:33:20,500
I think it was valuable Um

1592
02:33:20,500 --> 02:33:26,020
Open ai is doing something probably horrible. Open ai is developing an early stage thing that sucks

1593
02:33:26,180 --> 02:33:32,340
Kate sounds good. Um Intel investigating arc performance with older cpus. What is it?

1594
02:33:32,500 --> 02:33:35,220
Open ai wants to build a social app basically cool

1595
02:33:36,340 --> 02:33:41,700
Yeah, no, it's super old news, but Intel's finally acknowledged and they are investigating the CPU overhead issues

1596
02:33:42,660 --> 02:33:46,980
With running arc gpus on older Intel and AMD cpus

1597
02:33:49,460 --> 02:33:56,100
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

1598
02:33:56,100 --> 02:33:58,100
Yeah, it's important. Whoever wrote this it's

1599
02:33:59,540 --> 02:34:04,500
It's just so gross. I like I don't want to talk about it. Open ai is a thing. Yeah. Yeah

1600
02:34:08,340 --> 02:34:13,700
Either way, they want to make an app and then you can share your generated images on it so you can

1601
02:34:14,420 --> 02:34:18,580
show your Ghibli drawings to other people that you didn't draw

1602
02:34:19,220 --> 02:34:23,060
Sick and they can look at it and show you there are things that they didn't draw in other good news

1603
02:34:24,020 --> 02:34:28,180
Blue origin practices sending millionaires to space for when the world ends. Maybe

1604
02:34:28,900 --> 02:34:33,620
They're ns 31 flight launched on april 14th and made headlines for being an all-female crew

1605
02:34:34,180 --> 02:34:39,140
The voyage was just under 11 minutes long and stirred up lots of controversies ranging from

1606
02:34:39,380 --> 02:34:43,300
Outrage that celebrities are going to space to even claims that the flight was faked

1607
02:34:43,380 --> 02:34:49,380
Yep Celebrities included pop star katie parry broadcast journalist gale king philanthropist lauren sanchez

1608
02:34:49,780 --> 02:34:54,420
Philanthropist, okay, so wife of jeff bezos and film producer happy you reacted to that

1609
02:34:54,500 --> 02:35:02,820
karyan flim The other two members included former nasa rocket scientist aisha bow and bioastronautics research scientist amanda newian

1610
02:35:03,780 --> 02:35:07,700
Some i'm not even going to talk about the theories that it's fake. They're really stupid. Um

1611
02:35:08,340 --> 02:35:14,020
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

1612
02:35:14,100 --> 02:35:18,980
Oh fiance not wife. Yeah, thank you. Um, whatever. Okay, so do people hate katie parry now?

1613
02:35:19,140 --> 02:35:24,340
Like why do people hate katie parry? I I don't actually know. I literally don't don't know and honestly

1614
02:35:24,900 --> 02:35:28,980
deeply Fundamentally to my core don't care. She's fake

1615
02:35:30,340 --> 02:35:36,100
They turned on her they married. Oh, she married russell brand. Is she still rustle married to russell brand?

1616
02:35:37,220 --> 02:35:40,580
Oh Yeah, he's an idiot

1617
02:35:40,820 --> 02:35:45,220
Uh No, they broke up

1618
02:35:45,300 --> 02:35:51,540
Dude, they broke up. We're married from 2010 to 2012. What are you even talking about nothing to do?

1619
02:35:53,460 --> 02:35:56,340
Yeah, that all that's all that's such a lame reason

1620
02:35:56,740 --> 02:36:00,340
There's not there's no way there's no way because they liked her way after that

1621
02:36:01,380 --> 02:36:05,140
There's there's no way I don't believe it. Um

1622
02:36:06,340 --> 02:36:10,340
I don't know man people people seem to

1623
02:36:10,340 --> 02:36:13,780
Her new song was terrible. I think she collaborated with some

1624
02:36:14,740 --> 02:36:21,940
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

1625
02:36:23,220 --> 02:36:25,460
Okay, I mean there's maybe something there

1626
02:36:26,820 --> 02:36:33,780
Anyway, yeah, people seemed like really mad that she went to space and some people seem especially mad that like celebrities

1627
02:36:34,420 --> 02:36:38,660
Like went to space just because they're celebrities, but I got to be honest with you guys like

1628
02:36:39,460 --> 02:36:43,140
I'd do it the thing if they offered to send tech tips man to space

1629
02:36:43,700 --> 02:36:47,140
Questionably and and like if we're if we're having real talk right now

1630
02:36:47,860 --> 02:36:52,740
You'd do it. Yeah, I wouldn't blame katie perry for this one. Yeah, sorry

1631
02:36:53,300 --> 02:36:58,020
Oh something to consider as well about these people is you're mad about the stuff that you see

1632
02:36:59,300 --> 02:37:01,620
Like trust me. There's so many things you don't see

1633
02:37:02,740 --> 02:37:08,100
uh And like the whole reason that you're seeing it and talking about it at all

1634
02:37:08,660 --> 02:37:14,740
Is because they did this with celebrities if they had only sent the scientists. No one would even know this apparently is oh

1635
02:37:15,300 --> 02:37:22,100
Hold on. No, this is definitely not footage that we can just use on WAN Show, but uh, we can watch it

1636
02:37:22,660 --> 02:37:27,140
Uh, jeff bezos apparently face plants as part of the the whole thing

1637
02:37:28,340 --> 02:37:33,300
Like on purpose. No, I don't think so Haha

1638
02:37:33,320 --> 02:37:35,320
Sorry

1639
02:37:44,680 --> 02:37:46,680
It's pretty funny not it's pretty funny

1640
02:37:49,320 --> 02:37:53,460
Anyone falling is funny. It's just I don't know. It's funnier when it's a billionaire. Yeah. Yeah

1641
02:37:53,540 --> 02:37:59,780
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

1642
02:37:59,780 --> 02:38:04,780
He's just a billionaire to me. I don't think he's seems much worse than other billionaires

1643
02:38:04,780 --> 02:38:11,520
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?

1644
02:38:12,860 --> 02:38:14,860
That's gonna keep me up tonight

1645
02:38:16,980 --> 02:38:25,500
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

1646
02:38:26,820 --> 02:38:28,820
Yeah, that hurts

1647
02:38:30,420 --> 02:38:37,540
Anywho Yeah, people are upset because the door opened before Bezos went and like did the turn the crank thing

1648
02:38:37,540 --> 02:38:43,860
I think it was for filming reasons. I suspect they opened the door like right away to

1649
02:38:44,340 --> 02:38:47,580
Make sure that they were chill. I haven't looked into it almost at all

1650
02:38:47,580 --> 02:38:51,660
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

1651
02:38:51,780 --> 02:38:58,740
ceremoniously I was like, yeah Red tape and filming this is like yeah a thing like this may surprise you

1652
02:38:58,860 --> 02:39:05,260
But when we do our grand opening party at smash champs in a couple of months the mayor is gonna cut a ribbon

1653
02:39:06,660 --> 02:39:11,640
Smash champs was already open. Yeah for like a while. Yeah

1654
02:39:12,180 --> 02:39:18,180
It's okay. It's okay. It's alright. It's it's yeah, it's performative and that's that's okay sometimes

1655
02:39:18,180 --> 02:39:23,460
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

1656
02:39:23,460 --> 02:39:26,980
I'm like they open the door and then he goes and like kind of waves at them and closes the door again

1657
02:39:27,020 --> 02:39:30,940
And he's like, uh, it looks like he's like, oh, no, no, no, we need the door closed still

1658
02:39:30,940 --> 02:39:37,820
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

1659
02:39:38,780 --> 02:39:42,700
Who knows? All right What are we doing?

1660
02:39:42,700 --> 02:39:47,180
Great warehouse product sightings roundup. It's been a lot of it. Oh, yeah, this is pretty cool

1661
02:39:47,700 --> 02:39:53,780

1662
02:39:54,780 --> 02:39:58,900
He likes spoiler. He likes both. So this is pretty cool

1667
02:40:17,700 --> 02:40:22,100
Okay, hold on LTT screw. Wow. He actually actually talked about the screwdriver for a really long time. Wow

1668
02:40:22,580 --> 02:40:25,980
That's uh That's super cool

1669
02:40:25,980 --> 02:40:31,340
And then here's a precision screwdriver. All right, cool. Yeah, so guys Dan's gonna link all of these videos

02:40:47,180 --> 02:40:52,740
What? That's so cool. That's pretty sick. Yeah, he gave us a nine and a half

1673
02:40:53,540 --> 02:40:56,460
Nine and a half. We were the highest scoring

1674
02:40:57,020 --> 02:41:02,260
YouTuber product nobody got a ten. Nobody got a ten. So I was I was pretty pleased with that

1675
02:41:02,780 --> 02:41:06,460
The commuter backpack was reviewed by Aaron at nomads nation

1676
02:41:06,460 --> 02:41:10,740
It's a 21-minute review that gives a great look at most of the features of the bag

1677
02:41:10,820 --> 02:41:14,640
He especially likes the sleek style and the design of the tech compartment

1678
02:41:15,640 --> 02:41:20,560
Yeah, I guess I'm I guess I'm like doing this for all of them. Okay. Well, there you go

02:41:20,560 --> 02:41:29,200
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

1680
02:41:30,640 --> 02:41:33,000
Ended up with a very cursed

1681
02:41:33,840 --> 02:41:39,560
flesh-toned silicone LTT driver his pain machine video screw driver

1682
02:41:39,760 --> 02:41:46,360
Yeah, so this one-of-a-kind LTT flesh driver was made by Sebastian from CW

1683
02:41:46,600 --> 02:41:52,560
It was unsanctioned It was after hours and he presented it to William at open sauce last year

1684
02:41:52,840 --> 02:41:58,560
Seb said he made the abomination because it was a terrible thing to make and William would enjoy it

1685
02:41:59,560 --> 02:42:03,760
He made the mold from a production screwdriver so that he could get the texture right

1686
02:42:04,520 --> 02:42:09,240
You will have to do that yourself if you want one of these because we are not selling them no matter how much

1687
02:42:09,240 --> 02:42:11,240
you beg

1688
02:42:13,480 --> 02:42:20,040
That is horrible have you have you held it no this shouldn't exist you gotta check out you got to check out them

1689
02:42:20,440 --> 02:42:27,760
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

1690
02:42:27,760 --> 02:42:30,160
Can I can I show this part of the video? Yeah, just show it

1691
02:42:31,600 --> 02:42:36,480
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

1692
02:42:36,480 --> 02:42:41,240
That's why I call it the screwdriver I want to do his and hers

1693
02:42:42,080 --> 02:42:46,960
That is horrible Neat anyway, finally

1694
02:42:48,360 --> 02:42:56,080
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

1695
02:42:57,240 --> 02:42:59,600
Yeah, whatever you want to play it. Whenever you ready, okay?

1696
02:43:02,080 --> 02:43:05,880
Is anyone else's LTT screwdriver like this it's got like

1697
02:43:06,520 --> 02:43:13,360
Skin are they yanking my balls just mushy. I don't want to say what it feels like I'm grabbing listen

1698
02:43:15,440 --> 02:43:17,720
Last week I figured out I was being charged

1699
02:43:35,880 --> 02:43:37,880
Oh

1700
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:43,920
That video in general is actually extremely interesting by the way, it's really cool

1701
02:43:44,760 --> 02:43:51,840
It's all about having Like cold hot cold hot and it tricks you into thinking that you're like burning

1702
02:43:52,320 --> 02:43:56,200
Because of the it's too close for your nerves or something he explains it all in the video

1703
02:43:56,680 --> 02:44:02,440
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

1704
02:44:03,440 --> 02:44:07,960
During work hours ever during no, I don't care

1705
02:44:07,960 --> 02:44:13,280
I don't want to know I don't want people to put an LTT logo there during work hours. That's fair

1706
02:44:13,280 --> 02:44:15,440
But it would sell like crazy. No

1707
02:44:16,520 --> 02:44:21,000
No Okay

1708
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:26,600
Bootleg market finally, it's not a creator warehouse product, but it is something we built

1709
02:44:26,760 --> 02:44:30,000
Doug DeMiro gave an update on his Lambo racing rig

1710
02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:33,240
It finally arrived and it sounds like they managed to beat the tariffs

1711
02:44:33,240 --> 02:44:36,320
But his team ran into a bit of trouble reassembling it because of whiskey

1712
02:44:36,920 --> 02:44:41,520
Doug plans to have visitors set lap times in the rig and maintain a leaderboard

1713
02:44:41,680 --> 02:44:46,520
So he responded to that here so you guys can go check that out for him as well

1714
02:44:48,320 --> 02:44:55,640
Okay, I am We're getting there. What was done? Oh a discussion question. What's the coolest LTT product sighting you've had?

1715
02:44:55,640 --> 02:45:03,040
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

1716
02:45:03,600 --> 02:45:11,240
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

1717
02:45:11,240 --> 02:45:15,200
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

1718
02:45:15,200 --> 02:45:21,800
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

1719
02:45:21,840 --> 02:45:26,120
Context or whatever. I don't care. Why I just I love it. I love just being like hey

1720
02:45:27,360 --> 02:45:32,680
I often think they they legitimately probably don't know who I am so I'm not on camera as much anymore

1721
02:45:33,440 --> 02:45:36,080
But I just take that as an opportunity to be like, I don't know

1722
02:45:36,680 --> 02:45:41,200
It is nice and it looks good on them. So I will tell them. It's fine

1723
02:45:46,040 --> 02:45:49,280
Yeah, trade war escalates but stuff sucks I

1724
02:45:50,280 --> 02:45:57,560
Don't know trade war continues to ramp up and video expects 5.5 billion in losses AMD expects 800 million in losses

1725
02:45:57,840 --> 02:46:04,640
Chip export license restrictions to China smartphones semiconductors and consumer electronics are temporarily exempt from reciprocal tariffs

1726
02:46:04,640 --> 02:46:08,440
But it's still subject to a 20% tariff. That's because as far as I can tell

1727
02:46:09,280 --> 02:46:14,860
Tim Apple went to went to orange guy and was like, please don't and then he was like, okay, cool

1728
02:46:15,340 --> 02:46:20,860
Other products now face up to 245 percent because numbers don't even matter anymore in stacks tariffs

1729
02:46:21,180 --> 02:46:24,940
Combining multiple rounds from both Trump and Biden administrations in retaliation

1730
02:46:24,940 --> 02:46:28,660
China has suspended exports of key rare earth metals and magnets

1731
02:46:29,060 --> 02:46:34,460
Potentially disrupting everything from aerospace to gaming peripherals NVIDIA has reaffirmed its

1732
02:46:35,300 --> 02:46:40,360
$500 billion commitment to US production with blackwell chips being manufactured at TSMC's Arizona fab

1733
02:46:40,720 --> 02:46:45,160
Sony has hiked ps5 prices again in Europe. I don't know how that makes any sense

1734
02:46:45,460 --> 02:46:51,400
Australia and New Zealand as game consoles reportedly aren't exempt from apparently that's to blend

1735
02:46:51,920 --> 02:46:58,360
Their costs across all the regions So they're absorbing some of the cost of the tariffs by having consumers pay more worldwide

1736
02:46:58,520 --> 02:47:01,080
That's interesting because they don't do it the other way around

1737
02:47:01,960 --> 02:47:09,040
Switch to keeps its $449 price launch price, but accessories like joy cons and pro controllers are going up about five bucks

1738
02:47:09,080 --> 02:47:15,640
Which seems low to be honest US consumers are turning to Chinese shopping apps like DH gate and Taobao

1739
02:47:15,760 --> 02:47:20,340
Which are now topping the app store charts as people try to buy direct and dodge

1740
02:47:20,960 --> 02:47:24,760
Heavy markup platforms like Xi'an and Timu. I don't think that's gonna work

1741
02:47:25,840 --> 02:47:36,000
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

1742
02:47:36,760 --> 02:47:41,800
Yeah, I've had people being reaching out saying like I'm worried that my computer isn't gonna make it

1743
02:47:41,800 --> 02:47:49,360
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

1744
02:47:49,880 --> 02:47:52,800
Like insanity of what we're seeing right now

1745
02:47:54,800 --> 02:48:02,080
Our net sales for our Q2 of 2024 so for those of you not familiar with the Q system

1746
02:48:03,080 --> 02:48:08,920
We're 18 days into Q2 it goes from April to the end of June beginning of April end of June

1747
02:48:10,040 --> 02:48:12,600
Our numbers for Q2 of last year

1748
02:48:13,480 --> 02:48:17,200
Are slightly lower what we have done in the last 18 days

1749
02:48:19,320 --> 02:48:21,320
Slightly lower

1750
02:48:23,920 --> 02:48:30,080
What Obviously people like shipping promos and it's not wondering why we have a promo on lttstore.com

1751
02:48:30,440 --> 02:48:34,000
Where over a hundred fifty dollars you get free shipping anywhere in the world by now

1752
02:48:34,640 --> 02:48:38,800
MCM is discounted. So obviously the margins are a little lower a lot lower

1753
02:48:39,200 --> 02:48:44,320
This time around so it's not actually like from a profit standpoint. That's not that's not how it works

1754
02:48:44,320 --> 02:48:46,720
Yeah, but a big part of it is also

1755
02:48:47,600 --> 02:48:54,080
just People knowing like okay if if tariffs at you know potentially hundreds of percent

1756
02:48:54,960 --> 02:49:02,560
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

1757
02:49:03,400 --> 02:49:08,280
Particularly in China. So if I want something that's made in China, which like a lot of things are

1758
02:49:09,640 --> 02:49:12,840
Now's the time to get on it. Yeah

1759
02:49:15,120 --> 02:49:18,880
All right, do you do you want to I think

1760
02:49:19,440 --> 02:49:25,200
These are interesting topics these go next week probably we could do these next week

1761
02:49:25,200 --> 02:49:29,520
I'm I'm really excited to collab with badminton insight, but I think we've already kind of talked about that

1762
02:49:29,520 --> 02:49:31,520
Oh, have we talked about how nerd sports is coming back?

1763
02:49:32,960 --> 02:49:40,680
Dan do you know nerd sports is getting a new episode. I think now it's official. Okay, we're doing it

1764
02:49:40,800 --> 02:49:44,280
So the pro players that we're going to be playing against are

1765
02:49:45,560 --> 02:49:53,440
going to be Greg and Jenny from badminton insight who recently reached the semi-finals at the all England open

1766
02:49:53,440 --> 02:50:00,200
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

1767
02:50:01,320 --> 02:50:09,320
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

1768
02:50:10,080 --> 02:50:15,440
David who had was the genius behind our last couple of April Fool's videos

1769
02:50:16,160 --> 02:50:22,360
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

1770
02:50:22,360 --> 02:50:26,480
Doesn't make money, but I think we did find a sponsor. So we are making it work

1771
02:50:26,480 --> 02:50:33,600
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

1772
02:50:33,600 --> 02:50:37,200
I will not be playing for the keyboard warriors though. Who's playing this time?

1773
02:50:37,200 --> 02:50:44,240
I am too good at badminton. Yeah, it makes you properly be like a joes against pros player who's playing

1774
02:50:45,440 --> 02:50:49,600
I don't oh should I reveal it? Oh, I don't know. I think

1775
02:50:50,320 --> 02:50:55,360
We could talk about it next week. I'm I think the plan is to have four play

1776
02:50:55,360 --> 02:51:00,440
You know, it's really late to bother David. I'm not gonna bother David. I was interested, but I never got tapped

1777
02:51:00,440 --> 02:51:02,440
I think it's to have four players

1778
02:51:03,480 --> 02:51:07,920
And they'll tag team They'll tag team out. Oh

1779
02:51:08,240 --> 02:51:12,960
And we have some fresh we have some really great challenges for the pros David and I were there

1780
02:51:13,560 --> 02:51:18,120
Yesterday, I think it was and I was trying a lot of the challenges for myself. So

1781
02:51:19,840 --> 02:51:23,720
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

1782
02:51:23,720 --> 02:51:28,000
Yeah, I want to spoil it for anybody, but we have some fun interesting

1783
02:51:28,840 --> 02:51:30,840
Challenges nice exciting

1784
02:51:32,040 --> 02:51:36,040
And I'm really excited sweet there. That's it. That's all I have to say about that very cool

1785
02:51:37,040 --> 02:51:42,960
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

1786
02:51:44,160 --> 02:51:52,400
Okay We're not allowing spectators in general, but I'll make a one exception for Luke because he helped us configure our gym

1787
02:51:52,400 --> 02:51:56,240
He's allowed in the gym whenever he wants actually put a lot of work into it and our gym is super nice

1788
02:51:56,240 --> 02:52:01,080
I guess so many compliments on our gym people come up to me tears in their eyes. It's this is the greatest gym

1789
02:52:01,080 --> 02:52:04,920
I've ever seen your gym

1790
02:52:04,920 --> 02:52:07,560
Beautiful beautiful gym. It's wide. It's wide

1791
02:52:13,320 --> 02:52:19,320
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

1792
02:52:19,320 --> 02:52:21,320
Let's do it after dark time

1793
02:52:23,840 --> 02:52:26,400
Maybe one day well look how fast a good cop

1794
02:52:28,320 --> 02:52:31,440
You should get his fingers warmed up with lots of merch messages every week

1795
02:52:32,440 --> 02:52:38,200
Is that it Dan is that what's going on? No, this is the flow it made a little bit more sense tonight

1796
02:52:38,200 --> 02:52:43,640
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

1797
02:52:44,280 --> 02:52:49,560
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

1798
02:52:49,560 --> 02:52:52,280
Yeah, I might my life's too easy and I'm not stressed enough. Yeah

1799
02:52:52,680 --> 02:52:58,520
Hi guys I've been living in Canada for almost two years coming from Brazil you guys

1800
02:52:59,240 --> 02:53:03,160
Thought me a lot about Canadian culture. You taught me a lot about Canadian culture

1801
02:53:03,160 --> 02:53:07,920
What in each of you or your three opinions is the most unique Canadian thing?

1802
02:53:10,280 --> 02:53:14,760
Man, it's it's a super Canadian thing to like not give a f*** about your Canadianness. I

1803
02:53:15,880 --> 02:53:19,880
Don't know if that's unique to us, but it's just it is in stuff. It is so

1804
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:26,960
Contrastful with our southern neighbors that like you can like you can actually drive

1805
02:53:27,160 --> 02:53:33,080
You know through a town in Canada and See Canadian flags like only on government buildings

1806
02:53:34,360 --> 02:53:38,000
That's the norm. Yeah, we don't we don't do that changing a little bit

1807
02:53:38,000 --> 02:53:40,560
But it has actually changed quite a bit. Yeah

1808
02:53:42,400 --> 02:53:47,520
Yeah, we've never been patriotic and now we are yeah, it's very I wouldn't say we've never been patriotic

1809
02:53:47,520 --> 02:53:54,080
I'd say in our adult lifetimes. It's kind of faded to a significant degree that doesn't necessarily mean that

1810
02:53:54,640 --> 02:53:57,840
We don't value our sovereignty. It just means that

1811
02:53:58,720 --> 02:54:06,760
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

1812
02:54:08,520 --> 02:54:13,480
Aspirational members of the world because the reality of it is fair enough kind of not that relevant

1813
02:54:13,840 --> 02:54:20,000
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

1814
02:54:20,040 --> 02:54:25,560
Established a lot of stuff Not because our economy is like strong or we're particularly influential. Yep

1815
02:54:25,600 --> 02:54:30,120
We built an ARM for some cool thing that floats around the world. That's pretty neat. I was pretty cool. Yep

1816
02:54:30,760 --> 02:54:35,120
What what was exactly the base question is like unique most unique Canadian thing

1817
02:54:35,720 --> 02:54:40,800
For me, it's always been our one road. Yeah, our one road. That's pretty good

1818
02:54:40,800 --> 02:54:44,640
Yeah, that's that South Park episode where they joke about the only road in Canada

1819
02:54:44,640 --> 02:54:49,320
Just follow the only road like that actually like is a thing. That's true. That's my favorite highway number one

1820
02:54:49,320 --> 02:54:56,040
Yeah, we only have one is is the the one like federal highway that actually goes through every province

1821
02:54:56,400 --> 02:55:00,320
And it doesn't even go through the territories. So there are parts there

1822
02:55:00,320 --> 02:55:05,760
There are times when like a bridge along that road will will fall into disrepair and

1823
02:55:07,840 --> 02:55:15,480
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

1824
02:55:16,400 --> 02:55:23,000
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?

1825
02:55:23,240 --> 02:55:28,720
I've heard of it, but I haven't taken it. Yeah crazy. Yeah, dumb country. That's a good example

1826
02:55:32,040 --> 02:55:37,800
I don't know I think we're the only Orton's Tim Hortons is trash and owned by a Brazilian conglomerate

1827
02:55:37,800 --> 02:55:42,080
I was just gonna say I think we're the only country in the world that has a very strong argument for

1828
02:55:42,520 --> 02:55:51,320
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

1829
02:55:52,840 --> 02:55:59,200
Actually, I think it should like offend our country that a thing that was genuinely a defining part of our country

1830
02:55:59,200 --> 02:56:04,040
Which it absolutely was it isn't anymore, but it absolutely was and it sucks

1831
02:56:04,040 --> 02:56:11,360
And it's bad now and people still remember that and will come to Canada excited to try Tim Hortons and then be like

1832
02:56:12,080 --> 02:56:19,920
Wow, this is bad and Canada sucks and Canadians have no taste. Yes. Yeah, those things actually get associated together. It's crazy

1833
02:56:20,240 --> 02:56:27,400
It's a It we we as there maybe there's some other solution, but we should not have allowed it to become bad

1834
02:56:27,400 --> 02:56:32,280
I think that's a uniquely Canadian thing is any time a company gets big enough

1835
02:56:32,680 --> 02:56:38,720
It can no longer be Canadian by law. It seems being listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange is like

1836
02:56:39,560 --> 02:56:44,040
Trashed here to not become good and being being owned by

1837
02:56:44,640 --> 02:56:47,440
Basically, you get so big that when it's time to sell

1838
02:56:47,760 --> 02:56:50,760
No other Canadian entity can afford to buy you anymore

1839
02:56:50,840 --> 02:56:58,000
So you just sell to an international conglomerate and then that's why the major companies in Canada are mostly

1840
02:56:58,520 --> 02:57:05,040
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

1841
02:57:05,040 --> 02:57:09,640
Yeah, Bombardier would be another one Hudson Bay Company. Yeah, well

1842
02:57:14,080 --> 02:57:17,040
Everyone in Canada has kind of known. Yeah rip ATI

1843
02:57:18,720 --> 02:57:25,680
ATI yeah, a big side one. Well in Nortel a little bit different of a rip, but still yeah, I

1844
02:57:26,960 --> 02:57:31,200
Think everyone up here is known that Hudson's Bay Company was going away for a long

1845
02:57:31,520 --> 02:57:36,240
Oh, yeah, I mean, I haven't set foot in one in my adult life that I can remember so long enough

1846
02:57:36,240 --> 02:57:40,440
Why would you yeah, I'm a major shame. I'm amazed they've lasted as long as they did. Yeah

1847
02:57:42,920 --> 02:57:44,920
That's right, I think the hub is Canadian

1848
02:57:46,120 --> 02:57:52,960
Well, yeah, a major company. I mean, they're a major company. You can't deny it. Oh, yeah, they're Canadian that hub

1849
02:57:52,960 --> 02:58:00,720
Yeah, yeah, North Vancouver. I think it came up a lot recently about when you know when we were supporting Canadian companies. Yeah

1850
02:58:02,080 --> 02:58:09,400
Wait What you're there from North Vancouver. No, no, they're back east. That's they are A&W

1851
02:58:10,120 --> 02:58:18,200
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

1852
02:58:18,200 --> 02:58:24,560
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

1853
02:58:24,960 --> 02:58:31,880
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

1854
02:58:31,880 --> 02:58:38,440
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

1855
02:58:39,720 --> 02:58:46,000
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

1856
02:58:46,240 --> 02:58:50,200
Yeah, it's trash now. It's so bad. Oh

1857
02:58:51,440 --> 02:58:58,880
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

1858
02:58:58,880 --> 02:59:05,200
Yeah, that's Western Canada, so yeah, that's why I didn't really bring them up, but that is a good point

1859
02:59:05,880 --> 02:59:09,000
We'll give them that. All right Hit me Dan

1860
02:59:09,000 --> 02:59:13,840
Hi, Ong I've Anne. This is a speed type comment

1861
02:59:14,160 --> 02:59:21,760
My employer recently hit the big 100. What kind of achievements do you hope to have if LMG lasts that long?

1862
02:59:21,920 --> 02:59:26,600
Also, hi Vod me. Well, the achievements won't be mine personally because I'll be long dead

1863
02:59:27,600 --> 02:59:32,200
So there's that your tech you're original people at the company would be gone

1864
02:59:32,200 --> 02:59:37,800
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

1865
02:59:38,320 --> 02:59:43,560
I would hope that, you know, we still have a culture of like kicking butt and working hard

1866
02:59:49,400 --> 02:59:55,600
I would hope that we do a good job of both competing hard in the tech media space

1867
02:59:55,600 --> 03:00:01,720
But also Building a collaborative atmosphere and environment with our competitors

1868
03:00:03,040 --> 03:00:05,040
What else would be on the list?

1869
03:00:07,080 --> 03:00:10,600
I would kind of hope that they still haven't taken outside investment

1870
03:00:11,440 --> 03:00:16,000
Hmm interesting. How does that work though? Because there'd have to be succession of some sort

1871
03:00:16,200 --> 03:00:19,160
Do we do we go monarchy like what do you what are you thinking here?

1872
03:00:21,040 --> 03:00:23,800
What if they started buying up other companies ah

1873
03:00:24,800 --> 03:00:28,800
Man M&A is not really like

1874
03:00:29,800 --> 03:00:35,720
My jam we've always been like a grind it out and make it from the ground which honestly is kind of stupid

1875
03:00:35,720 --> 03:00:40,280
Yeah, I think about it Yeah, I don't know

1876
03:00:40,280 --> 03:00:42,800
I don't know and I don't know how that works necessarily

1877
03:00:46,000 --> 03:00:50,080
I think the main thing is I wouldn't want like a conglomerate, right

1878
03:00:50,360 --> 03:00:57,840
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

1879
03:00:57,840 --> 03:01:01,040
I I can't claim to have the answer, but I

1880
03:01:01,720 --> 03:01:08,440
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?

1881
03:01:08,720 --> 03:01:11,760
like you can sell you can

1882
03:01:13,760 --> 03:01:18,720
You can convert to like like a co-op you can

1883
03:01:20,800 --> 03:01:26,920
What else can you do you can shut down very popular one right now, which is something that you like half did

1884
03:01:27,720 --> 03:01:33,920
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

1885
03:01:33,920 --> 03:01:38,400
Won't help us hit a hundred. I'll die so someone's gonna have to own the company at some point

1886
03:01:39,520 --> 03:01:46,040
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

1887
03:01:46,760 --> 03:01:49,880
Anyone else thinking? Oh, yeah pass on to kids

1888
03:01:50,560 --> 03:01:56,440
That's one. So that's the monarchy route. That's the monarchy route. Yep. I don't know if any of your kids

1889
03:01:58,040 --> 03:02:02,520
Could be a paper my son asked to do a video and

1890
03:02:03,200 --> 03:02:08,840
I gave him the least glamorous assignment possible to see if he actually cares and

1891
03:02:09,120 --> 03:02:13,400
He appears to be working on a review of the new Kindle color. I

1892
03:02:14,240 --> 03:02:20,160
Really couldn't think of anything less glamorous. That's pretty not glamorous than a Kindle e-reader

1893
03:02:20,160 --> 03:02:26,840
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

1894
03:02:26,840 --> 03:02:31,360
And it is a product that he genuinely uses like the old paper white

1895
03:02:31,880 --> 03:02:37,400
So I was planning on actually doing the video myself because I just wanted the new Kindle color because it looked cool

1896
03:02:37,400 --> 03:02:41,040
And so I grabbed the new paper white and I grabbed the color and I was like well

1897
03:02:41,040 --> 03:02:47,440
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

1898
03:02:47,440 --> 03:02:51,800
Information other professional reviewers customer reviews his own thoughts

1899
03:02:52,440 --> 03:02:57,920
Making sure not to plagiarize any of that and to compile it into, you know, his own thoughts and I

1900
03:02:58,880 --> 03:03:03,520
Told him that if he comes up with a script for it

1901
03:03:04,280 --> 03:03:08,640
That I would help him that I would help him review it and that he could host part of it

1902
03:03:09,200 --> 03:03:13,320
So who knows who knows that's kind of cool. We'll see I

1903
03:03:14,040 --> 03:03:17,200
Do you think it's go public was another exit strategy?

1904
03:03:17,320 --> 03:03:23,200
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

1905
03:03:23,200 --> 03:03:29,200
Fairly classic maneuver of I'll do what dad does Hard to say he definitely because

1906
03:03:30,240 --> 03:03:37,120
Kids young. Oh, yeah, he's young. He might just be playing around like I just totally fair. I was way

1907
03:03:38,000 --> 03:03:42,920
less Driven to do anything when I was his age then he appears to be I mean

1908
03:03:42,920 --> 03:03:48,640
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

1909
03:03:48,640 --> 03:03:52,920
But he's the 50 50 and then the next one is mine

1910
03:03:53,640 --> 03:03:56,040
And the next one is Yvonne's

1911
03:03:57,120 --> 03:04:02,680
Like we just kind of the the preschool teacher who had all of them

1912
03:04:02,680 --> 03:04:06,040
So I think there's only one teacher. No, there's actually two now

1913
03:04:06,120 --> 03:04:11,640
but before there was there was one teacher who got all of them for preschool and

1914
03:04:12,800 --> 03:04:16,320
About a week into my youngest's first term

1915
03:04:16,840 --> 03:04:22,200
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?

1916
03:04:25,560 --> 03:04:27,760
Yes, we did yes, we did

1917
03:04:30,120 --> 03:04:35,860
Okay I'm a dev I work on my own projects, but I feel like I'm running out of time

1918
03:04:36,240 --> 03:04:43,440
But I'm afraid about going live or selling How did you deal with anxiety of starting running and maintaining LTT?

1919
03:04:44,000 --> 03:04:53,960
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

1920
03:04:55,200 --> 03:04:57,200
We don't really

1921
03:04:58,200 --> 03:05:03,160
Spend much time in pre-production for anything

1922
03:05:05,600 --> 03:05:12,440
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

1923
03:05:13,680 --> 03:05:22,360
Months That's a lot of time six. Yeah, there boom boom. He's got nothing. I definitely have stuff

1924
03:05:22,480 --> 03:05:26,240
Founding you can talk about whatever you want. It's a free country

1925
03:05:26,240 --> 03:05:34,400
It was one person Reconstructing the entire communication and process system for the entire company six months was not enough

1926
03:05:34,400 --> 03:05:39,200
It would have it could have either taken more time or more people, but we had a point

1927
03:05:39,200 --> 03:05:46,320
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

1928
03:05:46,960 --> 03:05:51,240
Time not man hours objectively. I am correct six months

1929
03:05:51,520 --> 03:05:57,180
Objectively man hours is not the term anymore of time that this is true, but you understood me and the point of language

1930
03:06:02,400 --> 03:06:09,720
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

1931
03:06:10,800 --> 03:06:12,880
This be real clearly. We ain't rushing them

1932
03:06:14,520 --> 03:06:18,360
All right, so the website is the worst. I mean, I think that you just got a

1933
03:06:18,920 --> 03:06:22,280
Okay, you don't want to do reputational damage by launching something that's not ready

1934
03:06:23,320 --> 03:06:27,200
You also have to just get stuff out there, but you also yeah, you have to ship is it usable

1935
03:06:27,760 --> 03:06:34,520
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

1936
03:06:34,640 --> 03:06:38,200
Say what it is say who it's for and as you continue to refine it

1937
03:06:38,200 --> 03:06:41,960
You can say what more it is and what more people it's for and you can grow from there

1938
03:06:41,960 --> 03:06:47,320
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

1939
03:06:47,320 --> 03:06:53,920
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

1940
03:06:53,920 --> 03:06:57,200
Stop wasting your time Yeah, but if they do and then they're like, oh man, this is cool

1941
03:06:57,560 --> 03:07:05,840
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?

1942
03:07:05,840 --> 03:07:08,680
I think it's labor resource. Oh, stop it. I

1943
03:07:09,640 --> 03:07:16,080
Mean, that's my favorite. I've generally said people hours people hours. Okay, so what if dogs working on it?

1944
03:07:17,360 --> 03:07:21,200
Being hours that would be part of labor resource organism hours

1945
03:07:22,520 --> 03:07:24,520
That's close, but yeah

1946
03:07:26,640 --> 03:07:29,200
Feels like kind of a basic thing to call it though

1947
03:07:32,360 --> 03:07:34,360
Oh age

1948
03:07:37,280 --> 03:07:44,000
Work hours Work hours work. That makes more sense. The problem with work hours is a lot of people associate it with

1949
03:07:44,880 --> 03:07:49,640
An individual. Yeah, and de is illegal really say so it's man hours now

1950
03:07:52,400 --> 03:07:54,400
And they cost 30% more

1951
03:07:55,800 --> 03:08:00,560
They give me 245% more. Oh, I like billable hours

1952
03:08:01,920 --> 03:08:07,760
Billable hours is pretty good, but it's generally in a contracting sense. I like labor

1953
03:08:07,880 --> 03:08:12,200
You don't generally Afa says if a dog's a Labrador it could be lab

1954
03:08:13,680 --> 03:08:19,360
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

1955
03:08:19,360 --> 03:08:23,920
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

1956
03:08:28,720 --> 03:08:33,120
Don't think most people are gonna understand that this is like actually a word what poppycock, isn't it?

1957
03:08:33,360 --> 03:08:35,400
Well, you act like they've never seen a titmouse before

1958
03:08:36,400 --> 03:08:38,400
Or just a tit

1959
03:08:40,480 --> 03:08:42,480
Or a bony-ass fish

1960
03:08:45,560 --> 03:08:52,480
Human capital, thanks, that's great too human capital is pretty good human labor resource suffering capital

1961
03:08:54,200 --> 03:08:57,000
How many hours in the wagey cage does this

1962
03:09:06,000 --> 03:09:09,200
Hasn't converted you to a salary employee yet with no overtime

1963
03:09:09,560 --> 03:09:13,320
No, this is my Corpo training showing

1964
03:09:13,840 --> 03:09:18,360
We took courses on abusing employees and you can only be in a wagey cage if you're getting an hourly wage

1965
03:09:18,400 --> 03:09:24,880
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

1966
03:09:24,880 --> 03:09:30,960
Yeah, I'm not paying for as of like three or four hours ago. I think. Oh, yeah, whatever. Yeah

1967
03:09:30,960 --> 03:09:34,800
I like on average work like 12 to 14 hours on Fridays alone

1968
03:09:35,400 --> 03:09:39,760
Yeah, I didn't work a 14 hour day today just because of other reasons

1969
03:09:41,000 --> 03:09:46,240
Yeah, that's what he's currently on that grind. Yeah, boy. It's fun. I mean you guys do it watch him

1970
03:09:46,240 --> 03:09:53,440
I think I've been have I ever gotten overtime. I think I've been sorry forever. Did I uh, hold on not realistic

1971
03:09:54,440 --> 03:09:58,760
I don't know If it ever happened, it wasn't real. Yeah

1972
03:10:00,160 --> 03:10:04,480
Yeah, truthfully, I don't know I don't think so I doubt it because who

1973
03:10:04,600 --> 03:10:07,040
Who would have logged in? Yeah, you should join a union

1974
03:10:08,080 --> 03:10:11,680
The other thing is if you if you follow the standard rules

1975
03:10:12,320 --> 03:10:15,680
Then you like context you wouldn't be allowed to work

1976
03:10:16,600 --> 03:10:19,860
That time that Luke got cancelled instead of me

1977
03:10:21,960 --> 03:10:24,520
There's a long story behind that don't worry about it

1978
03:10:26,240 --> 03:10:32,280
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

1979
03:10:32,640 --> 03:10:38,920
You should He's not gonna let me now. Yeah, I worked at one union job ever

1980
03:10:39,520 --> 03:10:44,680
The job was fine. The people I worked with at the plant was fine. It was it was a bread factory

1981
03:10:45,160 --> 03:10:51,240
My brother had worked there previously and a lot of the workers there that knew him were were very cool with me

1982
03:10:51,240 --> 03:10:54,360
They liked my brother, but the union rep hated him

1983
03:10:55,120 --> 03:11:01,560
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

1984
03:11:03,280 --> 03:11:05,360
To be clear about love rich

1985
03:11:07,920 --> 03:11:13,080
But I could imagine that I understand it it's almost like the LaFrenier boys

1986
03:11:14,600 --> 03:11:19,320
Being a little hot headed in common. I was gonna say I understand it because I understand it for me as well

1987
03:11:21,840 --> 03:11:24,040
We are somewhat alike in that way

1988
03:11:25,040 --> 03:11:30,240
But yeah, and he would take it out on me by by just screwing with me with schedule

1989
03:11:30,680 --> 03:11:37,480
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

1990
03:11:37,480 --> 03:11:41,320
And it was super annoying Luke Nukem the union buster. I'm not a union buster at all

1991
03:11:41,320 --> 03:11:45,800
my brother was in the Teamsters union when he worked for the movies and

1992
03:11:46,280 --> 03:11:56,240
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

1993
03:11:56,840 --> 03:12:04,080
Some potentially union related factors that make it very difficult to get in that's also a problem. There's that yes

1994
03:12:04,160 --> 03:12:12,040
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

1995
03:12:12,680 --> 03:12:17,960
God if they didn't exist things would have been bad, but they're not they're not always universally good

1996
03:12:20,840 --> 03:12:25,680
Anyways More

1997
03:12:26,480 --> 03:12:35,200
Why not? Hey, LTD and first time buyer greetings from Mexico sup what percentage of orders do you guys get from Latin American countries?

1998
03:12:35,200 --> 03:12:40,400
The last time I got one of your products was the original gangster screwdriver from Amazon nice

1999
03:12:40,840 --> 03:12:44,040
That is a good question. I do not know I

2000
03:12:45,440 --> 03:12:51,840
Can tell you that right now there are 155 visitors on the site there are at least

2001
03:12:52,880 --> 03:12:55,560
three of them in a Mexico

2002
03:12:56,680 --> 03:13:00,520
To in Brazil currently visiting you're talking about yeah on the site right now

2003
03:13:02,000 --> 03:13:06,320
Those are the Latin company companies countries. I am most familiar with

2004
03:13:07,240 --> 03:13:09,240
No one else in anywhere in South America though

2005
03:13:11,880 --> 03:13:21,400
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

2006
03:13:21,400 --> 03:13:25,120
Pretty good when there's a lot of people on the site. Yeah, they were earlier in the show. Yeah, that makes sense

2007
03:13:26,760 --> 03:13:31,720
Yeah, so I don't know that's that based on a sample size of a hundred fifty a

2008
03:13:32,280 --> 03:13:35,120
Few oh one more in Brazil just now the little

2009
03:13:35,560 --> 03:13:42,700
The little Shopify dashboard has a little like like a little arrow that comes out from your location to the

2010
03:13:42,760 --> 03:13:46,800
To the dot that it makes so if all y'all in Brazil

2011
03:13:47,320 --> 03:13:51,640
Okay, if all y'all go to the site right now, it'll be like

2012
03:13:52,520 --> 03:13:56,640
To your location in Brazil, so let's see how many Brazilians are watching

2013
03:13:57,520 --> 03:14:00,000
How real-time is this? I think it's quite real-time

2014
03:14:02,640 --> 03:14:04,640
Il maher was there

2015
03:14:08,920 --> 03:14:13,760
Objectively annoying to everyone both sides of the aisle

2016
03:14:13,760 --> 03:14:15,760
I

2017
03:14:17,440 --> 03:14:22,200
Mean the visitors going up right now is going to like yeah, it's going up

2018
03:14:22,720 --> 03:14:28,760
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

2019
03:14:30,680 --> 03:14:34,720
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

2020
03:14:35,440 --> 03:14:37,880
Somewhere in the Eastern United States just now. Oh

2021
03:14:38,640 --> 03:14:43,280
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

2022
03:14:43,280 --> 03:14:47,760
So there's like I don't know another like seven people see a bunch like down. Yeah, I see it

2023
03:14:47,760 --> 03:14:51,560
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, that's also just getting darker. There's also a bunch of people who seem confused

2024
03:14:51,560 --> 03:14:54,200
That is not Brazil right there at the top there

2025
03:14:56,600 --> 03:14:58,600
That's Peru according to my risk map

2026
03:15:00,600 --> 03:15:04,400
Well, I told only the Brazilians. Oh, yeah, and some of these have hair

2027
03:15:04,680 --> 03:15:06,680
I

2028
03:15:09,200 --> 03:15:12,200
Heard Dan like physically react to that. I just

2029
03:15:13,520 --> 03:15:17,600
Nothing Ignore me

2030
03:15:17,600 --> 03:15:23,600
Evening whansters question for Luke any updates on setting up the mainline ID

2031
03:15:23,840 --> 03:15:31,120
LLM integration for the development team wouldn't the 100k server with its NVIDIA a 100s be the perfect fit for this job

2032
03:15:31,120 --> 03:15:33,120
We're just using those new Macs

2033
03:15:34,400 --> 03:15:40,560
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

2034
03:15:41,640 --> 03:15:45,600
No, we're not no no, we're not that would not have worked. Well, however

2035
03:15:46,600 --> 03:15:53,240
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

2036
03:15:54,360 --> 03:15:58,320
What do you mean you don't have to ask me? I thought it's hard to tear it. What is your approval limit?

2037
03:15:58,320 --> 03:16:05,280
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?

2038
03:16:06,800 --> 03:16:11,920
I actually need to write this down if you do give me a number. Yeah, because I'm working on that right now

2039
03:16:11,920 --> 03:16:16,000
Yeah, there's like a good little automations and stuff. Yeah, are you just calling them?

2040
03:16:18,320 --> 03:16:21,060
Karen, I don't mind bugging supposed to do meetings about this

2041
03:16:23,080 --> 03:16:25,720
Billable hours nice all right

2042
03:16:27,120 --> 03:16:30,360
Then he has to do time off in Lou. Hey, you're live on the WAN Show

2043
03:16:31,920 --> 03:16:34,640
Yeah, yeah, it's every Friday

2044
03:16:38,400 --> 03:16:46,320
Yeah, you should probably know that if you like are the CEO of the company you know, it's about the same thing too

2045
03:16:46,560 --> 03:16:53,640
So remember I called you before and I was asking about my approval limit for purchase requests

2046
03:16:54,480 --> 03:16:58,560
Yeah, yeah, we were talking about that again. What is your approval limit? I

2047
03:16:59,280 --> 03:17:03,000
Was just talking to a vulnerable guy yesterday, so you have to go out this week

2048
03:17:04,280 --> 03:17:09,360
Okay, but you don't actually know you don't know he didn't have one. I have it as an affinity signal

2049
03:17:09,360 --> 03:17:14,560
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

2050
03:17:14,880 --> 03:17:19,840
So the words were I'm okay with a run rate spend anything else

2051
03:17:19,840 --> 03:17:24,320
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

2052
03:17:24,640 --> 03:17:31,560
That sounds like something I would say that sounds pretty reasonable. Yeah, okay, and how much was that consumer research that?

2053
03:17:44,320 --> 03:17:51,800
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

2054
03:17:51,800 --> 03:17:56,080
So, okay, cool. Well, it's a good thing you dodged that bullet. Make sure you let me know how much that

2055
03:17:58,160 --> 03:18:01,880
Pretty good actually, I think you're getting better at this. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Aaron

2056
03:18:05,360 --> 03:18:10,000
I'm amazed that they're actually gonna have conversations about that this week. This must have spurred some

2057
03:18:11,040 --> 03:18:16,880
Accounting conversations. That's probably after talking to CEDO. Okay, well, we'll have to get you guys an update on that

2058
03:18:16,880 --> 03:18:24,880
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

2059
03:18:24,880 --> 03:18:28,640
I've adopted that thinking is bad. I hate doing

2060
03:18:29,360 --> 03:18:32,860
Terrible should ever think again

2061
03:18:32,880 --> 03:18:34,880
Hurtie

2062
03:18:36,640 --> 03:18:41,440
Just before anyone freaks out because I feel like we're gonna get canceled for the second time like 10 minutes. No

2063
03:18:42,160 --> 03:18:47,360
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

2064
03:18:47,360 --> 03:18:52,040
I have spent six months thinking really hard so that I don't have to think for like five seconds

2065
03:18:52,040 --> 03:18:55,400
Yeah, but then you compound that across everyone in the company. Yeah

2066
03:18:56,400 --> 03:18:59,920
I was looking for budget laptops and found your video last month

2067
03:19:00,000 --> 03:19:06,640
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?

2068
03:19:08,080 --> 03:19:11,200
I was looking for budget laptops. Why did you break budget at the end?

2069
03:19:11,200 --> 03:19:18,000
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?

2070
03:19:18,840 --> 03:19:24,560
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

2071
03:19:24,560 --> 03:19:30,040
And we thought it was really interesting that it was three or four times the price or whatever it was

2072
03:19:30,800 --> 03:19:38,440
and We had you had to go to like the number 25th selling item to find a PC that was priced anywhere near it

2073
03:19:38,440 --> 03:19:41,880
So we thought it was really interesting that PC buyers buy these crappy

2074
03:19:42,520 --> 03:19:47,400
crappy computers and then Think that PCs kind of suck

2075
03:19:47,800 --> 03:19:54,200
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

2076
03:19:54,200 --> 03:19:58,600
And then they're like oh Macs are good, and I just thought that was an interesting conversation. That was

2077
03:20:03,800 --> 03:20:08,320
Yeah, I Don't I don't think it was a matter of like breaking breaking budget

2078
03:20:08,320 --> 03:20:12,520
We just wanted to talk about that the top selling the most popular laptops

2079
03:20:12,520 --> 03:20:15,680
Why they're the top selling most popular laptops in the case of the PCs

2080
03:20:15,680 --> 03:20:19,000
It was because they're cheap and we thought it was really interesting that in the case of the Mac

2081
03:20:19,000 --> 03:20:23,920
It was for a different reason it was because of the brand value that Apple has built by never

2082
03:20:24,640 --> 03:20:27,320
building cheap crappy machines

2083
03:20:28,240 --> 03:20:30,240
Well, at least not cheap ones anyway

2084
03:20:31,440 --> 03:20:37,440
Yeah Mark my PC cut fire while gaming

2085
03:20:37,440 --> 03:20:41,200
Oh, the power cord melted and arched until I got an extinguisher

2086
03:20:41,200 --> 03:20:48,840
Couldn't unplug due to the fire and arcing blocking the UPS what causes a cord to melt after nine years power supply exhaust

2087
03:20:53,160 --> 03:20:58,280
I would have to imagine The only thing I can think of would be a loose connection

2088
03:20:59,280 --> 03:21:05,280
Like if you had a loose connection that could heat up the housing and if the housing heated up and melted enough

2089
03:21:05,560 --> 03:21:08,320
That those conductors could get close enough. It could arc

2090
03:21:09,280 --> 03:21:14,280
That's the only explanation that springs to mind for me, but I am not an expert

2091
03:21:15,800 --> 03:21:17,800
on this

2092
03:21:21,320 --> 03:21:28,520
Hmm Hello DLL for Linus whatever happened in the end with your pool contractor

2093
03:21:28,520 --> 03:21:34,640
I know the pool is finished, but how did the conversation end the conversation ended with us having paid way too much money

2094
03:21:34,640 --> 03:21:36,800
it having taken way too long and

2095
03:21:37,640 --> 03:21:45,240
Us basically saying Look, we still owe you a little bit of money not nearly enough for how much work you have outstanding

2096
03:21:45,240 --> 03:21:50,000
But we never want to speak to you again. We are not giving you any more money and you are never coming here again

2097
03:21:50,520 --> 03:21:55,200
We don't expect warranty coverage because quite frankly, you'd probably break it more anyway. Goodbye

2098
03:21:56,000 --> 03:21:59,760
Sounds reasonable for how long that whole thing dragged out like I

2099
03:22:00,640 --> 03:22:03,200
Think that's probably the best they could have hoped for we could have sued them

2100
03:22:03,680 --> 03:22:07,720
We decided that it was a waste of money and time and we have better things to do

2101
03:22:08,560 --> 03:22:12,520
But we would have quite easily gotten a settlement

2102
03:22:14,640 --> 03:22:18,520
Because they did stuff that was just brazenly illegal in their billing and stuff

2103
03:22:20,840 --> 03:22:24,040
Thanks for the great products

2104
03:22:24,040 --> 03:22:30,640
I think Apple Silicon would make better Nintendo gaming devices than the switch to should Apple buy Nintendo

2105
03:22:30,920 --> 03:22:37,280
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

2106
03:22:37,280 --> 03:22:40,200
And you went I curated this one immediately

2107
03:22:41,920 --> 03:22:49,040
No Apple should not buy Nintendo I can't think of any two companies whose cultures are more different and yet

2108
03:22:50,360 --> 03:22:53,080
Reach such similar outcomes. Yeah

2109
03:22:53,720 --> 03:22:59,520
Tim Marriott the horseshoe problem. They've they both are companies with like wild stocks of cash

2110
03:23:00,080 --> 03:23:03,880
Yeah stores of cash. Yeah stockpiles stockpiles of cash

2111
03:23:07,920 --> 03:23:09,920
No, no Apple should not buy

2112
03:23:11,640 --> 03:23:15,640
That would do nothing for Apple gaming it would continue to be Nintendo gaming

2113
03:23:16,120 --> 03:23:24,200
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

2114
03:23:24,200 --> 03:23:26,600
Nintendo gaming device than the switch to I mean that's

2115
03:23:28,240 --> 03:23:32,880
There might be an argument there. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think we've seen a

2116
03:23:33,400 --> 03:23:37,120
Like for like comparison between NVIDIA's latest GPUs and Apple's now

2117
03:23:37,120 --> 03:23:40,800
It's also gonna be really because of DLSS. We really need to see the effects. Yeah

2118
03:23:41,160 --> 03:23:45,800
Like it's the switch to is honestly gonna be an incredibly interesting device to evaluate

2119
03:23:48,520 --> 03:23:51,320
Despite being not an incredibly interesting device

2120
03:23:52,320 --> 03:23:57,920
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

2121
03:23:57,920 --> 03:24:04,920
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

2122
03:24:04,920 --> 03:24:07,640
Oh, I feel that hard that hurt

2123
03:24:08,000 --> 03:24:14,520
That hurt my soul a little bit. Oh, oh God. Oh, he's so right. We're coming out of six

2124
03:24:19,040 --> 03:24:29,080
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

2125
03:24:29,080 --> 03:24:35,760
It's only $10 over price. Oh my goodness. I hate current year. I say that so much

2126
03:24:36,120 --> 03:24:38,120
Oh, I want to go home

2127
03:24:40,560 --> 03:24:42,560
No

2128
03:24:43,600 --> 03:24:47,600
Okay, let's just keep going Hello

2129
03:24:47,600 --> 03:24:53,960
LTT I'm curious about your swear policy. What would you classify as quote-unquote bleepable?

2130
03:24:53,960 --> 03:24:56,800
I sometimes hear you hear your stream and

2131
03:24:57,360 --> 03:25:04,200
Videos say things I thought would have been bleeped out, but ours pretty frequent. I mean mistakes. Yeah, sometimes we just you know

2132
03:25:04,400 --> 03:25:13,000
pull a boner And we accidentally don't bleep something that probably should have been bleeped

2133
03:25:13,880 --> 03:25:17,960
also the like the rules around swearing are

2134
03:25:19,200 --> 03:25:25,440
Sort of nebulous and complicated like South Park did a really funny episode. It hits the fan where

2135
03:25:26,080 --> 03:25:33,200
they sort of poked fun at censorship rules and like how it was, you know

2136
03:25:34,240 --> 03:25:40,520
Depending on the the usage of the word which we generally do bleep regardless of the usage

2137
03:25:40,520 --> 03:25:47,760
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

2138
03:25:48,600 --> 03:25:56,840
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

2139
03:25:58,200 --> 03:26:07,680
It's also evolved over time Like I and and it's and it's region-specific to like for example over over here

2140
03:26:08,600 --> 03:26:14,480
Cuck is generally considered to be like probably bleepable, but maybe not

2141
03:26:15,560 --> 03:26:18,600
and then like Dick is like

2142
03:26:19,800 --> 03:26:23,400
Some people are like, oh my god, I can't believe I can't believe you didn't bleep

2143
03:26:23,880 --> 03:26:26,420
Dick whereas I just kind of I'm like

2144
03:26:27,920 --> 03:26:31,840
Yeah, no one cares here so

2145
03:26:31,840 --> 03:26:37,400
Yeah, someone in chat said Aussie's in the C word. Yeah. Yeah, like all the C words like like

2146
03:26:38,840 --> 03:26:46,200
Yeah, big deal. No, no up here. Yeah, I don't even say it like off-camera. No. Yeah, and then it's

2147
03:26:47,880 --> 03:26:50,840
Yeah, so conversation down there. It's just it's just a different like

2148
03:26:51,800 --> 03:26:56,600
Societies will determine if they're it's all just noises we make with her face

2149
03:26:57,320 --> 03:27:02,920
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

2150
03:27:03,440 --> 03:27:08,880
We don't use it all whether the camera's rolling or not, you know, you've got your n-word, right?

2151
03:27:10,120 --> 03:27:14,480
Things that we use and bleep, you know, that's you're like you're

2152
03:27:15,480 --> 03:27:22,680
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

2153
03:27:23,680 --> 03:27:31,080
Damn it If you add hole to the end of it, it becomes worse and I think yeah, that is bleeped on TV

2154
03:27:31,080 --> 03:27:35,400
But just the front section is not but if you say them together, that's really bad. Yeah

2155
03:27:36,120 --> 03:27:40,160
That's interesting. I Think that's our current

2156
03:27:40,960 --> 03:27:47,480
Censorship laws, I can't quite remember. Oh, yeah chat. That's why I smiled Jay Jay Christo 8 says bollocks and wankers

2157
03:27:47,480 --> 03:27:50,800
Would probably never be on British TV, but here it's hilarious. Oh, yeah

2158
03:27:51,600 --> 03:27:58,520
It's like funny because bollocks because it sounds so British or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, definitely you swear

2159
03:27:59,880 --> 03:28:04,920
And like I wouldn't care at all if it was in my non-native tongue. So like like

2160
03:28:05,520 --> 03:28:08,200
You know, like as a French word who cares, right?

2161
03:28:09,040 --> 03:28:11,040
All right, carry on

2162
03:28:12,960 --> 03:28:18,360
Let's see LDL fixed my son's RC car resoldering parts on the board

2163
03:28:18,480 --> 03:28:23,520
He watched and got the spark in quotes of wanting to learn Linus

2164
03:28:23,520 --> 03:28:29,840
What is a dad moment where you saw that your kids have that childlike curiosity? Oh, it's been really cool watching the girls

2165
03:28:30,160 --> 03:28:32,800
Get really into the 3d printer. I think

2166
03:28:33,600 --> 03:28:39,840
They like all of a sudden wanted to like sign up for lessons and like learn computer stuff

2167
03:28:41,360 --> 03:28:46,800
Before that they mostly were just like used it as a gaming box. So that was pretty cool

2168
03:28:49,240 --> 03:28:53,280
Watching watching little man the

2169
03:28:53,280 --> 03:29:03,000
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

2170
03:29:03,000 --> 03:29:07,640
Oh, yeah, we attended a tour together. Are we allowed to say where we toured? Yeah. Okay. We went to NASA. Yeah

2171
03:29:08,360 --> 03:29:11,360
Luke arranged everything and I

2172
03:29:12,320 --> 03:29:16,520
Asked my son because like usually I don't really do vacation

2173
03:29:17,080 --> 03:29:22,240
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

2174
03:29:22,240 --> 03:29:26,440
It's just sit And do nothing and think about nothing

2175
03:29:26,720 --> 03:29:31,800
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

2176
03:29:31,800 --> 03:29:35,800
Oh, that would probably be really interesting for my son. The girls are still a little young for that

2177
03:29:35,800 --> 03:29:40,680
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

2178
03:29:40,680 --> 03:29:45,480
lot of knowledge dumps, but he had an absolute blast and

2179
03:29:47,000 --> 03:29:52,480
unintended and Asked so I thought some really salient questions

2180
03:29:52,480 --> 03:29:57,840
He did which was surprising to me it demonstrated. He was really paying attention and thinking about it and

2181
03:29:58,520 --> 03:30:03,040
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

2182
03:30:03,040 --> 03:30:05,720
So yeah, lots of moments. I mean as a parent

2183
03:30:06,440 --> 03:30:10,120
They're gonna come constantly. There was a bit of trust there too because like

2184
03:30:10,880 --> 03:30:15,720
It's not generally a tour you bring kids on like you're not that generally necessarily allowed

2185
03:30:15,960 --> 03:30:18,320
because there's areas you're going to that are like

2186
03:30:20,040 --> 03:30:24,400
They're not kid friendly. No if you're around it's like a problem. Yeah

2187
03:30:25,040 --> 03:30:28,640
Like for other people too like it's a safety concern. Yeah

2188
03:30:29,120 --> 03:30:32,840
But there was there was some trust there and he was totally good the whole time. Oh, yeah

2189
03:30:32,840 --> 03:30:35,240
He's a great kid unflinchingly good, which was great

2190
03:30:37,080 --> 03:30:39,760
Are there any new sticker sets coming? Yes

2191
03:30:40,360 --> 03:30:47,480
I've bought a case which has three fans in the front behind an acrylic panel with zero air flow

2192
03:30:47,480 --> 03:30:54,000
Any suggestions on how to approve mesh so I have something in front and avoid limbs getting stuck if I cut it

2193
03:30:54,000 --> 03:30:58,520
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

2194
03:30:58,520 --> 03:31:04,560
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

2195
03:31:05,240 --> 03:31:13,560
to answer the question of How far does a fan need to be from a panel to work effectively cool?

2196
03:31:13,560 --> 03:31:19,360
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

2197
03:31:19,360 --> 03:31:27,560
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

2198
03:31:27,560 --> 03:31:32,000
The floor before that power supply fans not effective. Yeah, what about if you have a vertical GPU mount?

2199
03:31:32,000 --> 03:31:36,840
How close does it have to be from the side panel before those fans are really impeded also the front fans?

2200
03:31:36,920 --> 03:31:40,960
And I think I came up with one other scenario So yeah, it's gonna be awesome

2201
03:31:40,960 --> 03:31:45,000
That's sick actually Hey, dynasty you can land. How do you?

2202
03:31:45,680 --> 03:31:49,120
Draw the line on how much internal information to show I

2203
03:31:49,600 --> 03:31:55,280
Feel like your transparency bites you in the ass more often than it helps you for me

2204
03:31:55,280 --> 03:32:01,720
A big part of my problem is that I am not detail-oriented enough to lie even if I

2205
03:32:01,720 --> 03:32:03,720
wanted to

2206
03:32:05,240 --> 03:32:11,800
Honesty honesty by incompetency. It really is the best policy to tell the truth and

2207
03:32:13,200 --> 03:32:19,040
To And to it's so much more legit than people understand

2208
03:32:19,760 --> 03:32:22,760
That's why we love them and to apply

2209
03:32:23,800 --> 03:32:30,720
To apply a basic set of principles in a way that is consistent can be consistently

2210
03:32:31,400 --> 03:32:35,160
remembered and Uplied and accounted for

2211
03:32:35,800 --> 03:32:41,960
And by by saying things publicly I create a system where that accountability is inherent

2212
03:32:42,120 --> 03:32:47,960
Because once you say something publicly you are in my humble opinion bound to it

2213
03:32:48,360 --> 03:32:54,240
So a lot of the time I share this internal information that ends up biting me in the butt

2214
03:32:54,680 --> 03:32:58,920
Because in a certain sense I kind of want it to if

2215
03:32:59,600 --> 03:33:04,680
If I ever changed my story in the future if that kind of makes sense

2216
03:33:05,160 --> 03:33:11,000
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

2217
03:33:11,000 --> 03:33:19,880
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

2218
03:33:19,880 --> 03:33:25,480
Problems or something I thought you were just collecting aspect marks like trophies or achievements or something

2219
03:33:26,240 --> 03:33:29,720
They match the tattoo and like I

2220
03:33:32,400 --> 03:33:34,400
My tattoo is just

2221
03:33:35,560 --> 03:33:37,560
My other tattoo is

2222
03:33:41,040 --> 03:33:48,960
Sometimes I can be logical to a fault but also highly emotional if that makes sense and so that

2223
03:33:49,200 --> 03:33:52,240
Logicalness in terms of my course of action

2224
03:33:53,320 --> 03:33:56,480
I think

2225
03:33:56,520 --> 03:34:02,240
Both the logical and emotional side of me think that if I behave in a way that is

2226
03:34:02,520 --> 03:34:08,080
Logical that that should make sense to other people and that they should more clearly be able to assess

2227
03:34:08,560 --> 03:34:14,600
My motivations and predict my future actions. So, you know to me for something like the trust me bro warranty

2228
03:34:14,600 --> 03:34:21,400
Let's look at that The logical case that I laid out pretty clearly is that if I ever fucked it up. I

2229
03:34:22,080 --> 03:34:27,720
would get put up on a stake, right and then and then

2230
03:34:28,280 --> 03:34:31,480
Spit roasted over a fire, right because I'm a public figure

2231
03:34:31,560 --> 03:34:38,040
So if I were to you know go around screwing people over on the warranty coverage of their products

2232
03:34:38,560 --> 03:34:44,240
They would it would make the loudest possible noise and be the juiciest possible gossip and so to me

2233
03:34:44,920 --> 03:34:51,480
That made the logical part the logical part of my brain went so this should be pretty obvious that I as not an idiot

2234
03:34:52,000 --> 03:34:55,600
Would not screw this up because it would basically be the end of my career

2235
03:34:57,560 --> 03:35:07,920
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

2236
03:35:07,920 --> 03:35:11,640
To face consequences and people have lived through that over and over and over again

2237
03:35:11,640 --> 03:35:15,480
so there so that trust is eroded on a broader scale which has nothing to do with me and

2238
03:35:15,960 --> 03:35:23,080
You know that's something that like doesn't easily compute for me

2239
03:35:23,800 --> 03:35:28,280
It's something that I struggled with it also

2240
03:35:32,400 --> 03:35:35,040
Emotionally is really frustrating right because

2241
03:35:36,080 --> 03:35:41,280
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

2242
03:35:42,080 --> 03:35:45,560
But some people legitimately seem to think that I'm actually very dumb

2243
03:35:45,560 --> 03:35:49,800
And so they will tend to assume like the dumbest possible course of action even though I

2244
03:35:51,800 --> 03:35:57,000
Don't really think I've you know given any reason I don't think that's necessarily fair. Oh, there's definitely some

2245
03:35:57,720 --> 03:36:01,640
Yes, okay. Yes, sure, but I don't think as a whole that's necessarily fair

2246
03:36:01,640 --> 03:36:07,520
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

2247
03:36:07,560 --> 03:36:12,640
I don't know, but it's the don't trust companies thing. I think sometimes you overestimate how many people

2248
03:36:14,080 --> 03:36:18,840
Watch enough. Oh sure like they know you and there's also cultural differences

2249
03:36:18,920 --> 03:36:27,080
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

2250
03:36:28,360 --> 03:36:35,800
Mechanisms to hold companies accountable for their warranty policies right here. We don't have that. Yeah, I know you literally have to like

2251
03:36:35,800 --> 03:36:41,440
Take the company to court. Yeah at a great deal of personal time and expense

2252
03:36:41,880 --> 03:36:47,600
You won't it pretty much boils down to the company's willingness to do anything for you

2253
03:36:48,320 --> 03:36:57,600
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

2254
03:36:58,120 --> 03:37:01,400
Way that that I would see it any way other than that

2255
03:37:02,000 --> 03:37:12,080
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

2256
03:37:12,080 --> 03:37:17,320
But you know for some reason like that's still, you know a huge problem

2257
03:37:17,320 --> 03:37:24,600
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

2258
03:37:24,600 --> 03:37:27,540
Which by the way was still before we ever sold a backpack

2259
03:37:27,660 --> 03:37:31,500
That's that part is very often forgotten very often forgotten

2260
03:37:32,700 --> 03:37:38,460
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

2261
03:37:38,460 --> 03:37:41,900
And wasn't well packaged. No, it was extremely poorly packaged and

2262
03:37:45,420 --> 03:37:53,900
I'm gonna keep doing it In conclusion, which is based we have we have an interview coming up on Floatplane

2263
03:37:54,620 --> 03:38:01,980
Checking in on Teran's first two years. So that's Sammy sat down with me and Teran and asked us some questions and

2264
03:38:03,580 --> 03:38:07,420
We are unflinching in our responses and

2265
03:38:08,740 --> 03:38:11,460
You know, we touch on some potentially even

2266
03:38:12,260 --> 03:38:14,260
challenging and uncomfortable subjects

2267
03:38:15,460 --> 03:38:18,500
And I think it's gonna be really great for the community even if it you know

2268
03:38:18,540 --> 03:38:24,660
Airs our internal laundry a little bit more than most companies would but I think that's part of what makes us really special

2269
03:38:24,660 --> 03:38:27,620
I feel like the watch rate percentage for that video of

2270
03:38:28,460 --> 03:38:32,860
Internal employees. Oh, well the amount of people that watch that with the Linus account alone. Oh

2271
03:38:34,300 --> 03:38:40,180
Yeah, that's gonna be nuts. I'll watch it. It genuinely sounds really interesting. I

2272
03:38:42,420 --> 03:38:46,420
Ask him why he hasn't moved here yet Hmm

2273
03:38:46,660 --> 03:38:49,700
Well, I don't really ask him so much as I point it pointed out

2274
03:38:52,740 --> 03:38:58,420
Because Tim Hortons is bad. I don't yeah, I don't blame him. We need to fix it. It has to be fixed

2275
03:38:58,420 --> 03:39:02,380
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

2276
03:39:02,380 --> 03:39:07,340
It's worth billions of dollars start a new one. Just take on alone. You literally know how much money I have

2277
03:39:09,140 --> 03:39:13,580
What are you even talking about? What if he made what if he made

2278
03:39:14,420 --> 03:39:20,580
Linus Sebastian's It's a terrible name for a restaurant. Really is a terrible name

2279
03:39:22,100 --> 03:39:25,620
No, he's got time for Linus Sebastian's

2280
03:39:26,260 --> 03:39:32,740
That's not the worst it jingles fairly well. Yeah, that's a Tim Hortons jingle. I know. Oh, okay. Yeah

2281
03:39:35,540 --> 03:39:42,220
All right, let's carry on Sebastian's has you when he sebs we've got that's a that's a scary

2282
03:39:42,220 --> 03:39:47,580
Sebastian's is not that bad. Sebastian's has you. Yeah, they have you bro creepy

2283
03:39:48,980 --> 03:39:51,220
Trust them trust us

2284
03:39:53,060 --> 03:40:00,660
It's fresh Minus and loose is not bad actually. Hey, I like it LL's coffee bar. Yeah. Oh

2285
03:40:01,700 --> 03:40:05,700
We could have like a we could have like a chilled juice bar. We could call it LL Cool J's

2286
03:40:12,420 --> 03:40:19,020
Oh Okay, got a couple more for you here. Yo buying a backpack for my GF

2287
03:40:19,380 --> 03:40:25,700
Are there any of the fun colors for the screwdriver knock to a retro coming back also Luke as a gym rat

2288
03:40:25,700 --> 03:40:27,700
What's your favorite lift in PR? Oh?

2289
03:40:29,260 --> 03:40:31,980
I don't PR because I'm old and broken so I

2290
03:40:32,580 --> 03:40:39,700
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

2291
03:40:39,700 --> 03:40:45,140
but uh, no That's the one I'm most proud of like grinding out

2292
03:40:45,140 --> 03:40:51,020
But probably my relative best was like a long time ago and I haven't pushed it in a in a minute

2293
03:40:51,020 --> 03:40:59,580
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

2294
03:41:00,860 --> 03:41:02,980
Not that far into my fitness journey. I hit

2295
03:41:03,940 --> 03:41:08,260
335 squat for five or six and the bar was bouncing

2296
03:41:08,260 --> 03:41:13,740
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

2297
03:41:13,740 --> 03:41:18,180
Nobody would care at all But she was like the bars gonna break and I was like, no, it's fine

2298
03:41:18,820 --> 03:41:25,140
But that was a very cool moment. Um, that has to feel really good. It was amazing. I wish you could frame moments

2299
03:41:25,140 --> 03:41:31,020
It was fantastic It's so ego boosting and then I had to remember that like

2300
03:41:32,500 --> 03:41:34,500
It's not like an incredible amount, but anyways

2301
03:41:35,540 --> 03:41:42,100
my favorite one's probably I think they're called eccentric accentuated skull crushers. I'm sure you remember those

2302
03:41:42,100 --> 03:41:47,100
Oh, those are still my favorite After I figured out after I figured out the muscle brain to do them

2303
03:41:48,940 --> 03:41:52,620
But you you lay flat down on a bench you take a fixed bar

2304
03:41:52,620 --> 03:41:57,420
I've done it with barbells now because those the fixed bars are too. Yeah, look at too strong

2305
03:41:57,420 --> 03:42:00,020
I need the weenie hut junior bars

2306
03:42:00,780 --> 03:42:07,500
But you you go ARM straight up and then slightly back so that your your return position or your resting position

2307
03:42:07,540 --> 03:42:11,820
It's still loaded and then you have to come down for three seconds

2308
03:42:12,100 --> 03:42:16,900
To behind your head is generally where I go and then fire up and you have to do that for 12 times

2309
03:42:17,540 --> 03:42:19,860
And it feels great your triceps just

2310
03:42:21,340 --> 03:42:28,820
After you figure out that the motion is throwing the bar over you. Yeah, it feels so it feels so good

2311
03:42:28,820 --> 03:42:33,060
It feels very functional weird. It's great. Try it. It's very good

2312
03:42:33,500 --> 03:42:36,540
Let's have an ends justify the means conversation real quick

2313
03:42:36,540 --> 03:42:39,060
Okay, Denoli 444 says

2314
03:42:40,180 --> 03:42:45,940
By Tim Hortons just rip us off with a meme coin and use that to finance it

2315
03:42:46,100 --> 03:42:53,420
It's 2025 make Canada great again. Would that justify a rug pole if we bought Tim Hortons back for Canada

2316
03:42:53,420 --> 03:42:57,820
The purpose of the rug pole is by is buying Tim Hortons. We're gonna not coin

2317
03:42:57,820 --> 03:43:03,340
We did for the screwdriver what we're gonna do for Canada's fast food. It's gonna be the best

2318
03:43:04,340 --> 03:43:08,460
It'll be a nine point. We're gonna be a nine point to this donut

2319
03:43:11,980 --> 03:43:13,980
With the flesh driver

2320
03:43:16,980 --> 03:43:22,900
They'll actually make the doughnuts in store again All right, sorry as for the as for the other fun colors of the screwdriver

2321
03:43:22,900 --> 03:43:29,020
My goal in the long term is that you can configure your screwdriver like Xbox controllers and

2322
03:43:29,620 --> 03:43:36,540
Get any color combination you want, but we are really far away from that right now and any movement that we make towards

2323
03:43:37,420 --> 03:43:46,260
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

2324
03:43:46,260 --> 03:43:52,020
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

2325
03:43:52,020 --> 03:43:56,300
And stuff be a real challenge Okay, last one I've got for you tonight

2326
03:43:56,300 --> 03:44:01,140
I have a question for one and a half of the Lafaynier boys just one half

2327
03:44:01,140 --> 03:44:07,780
Oh for one half of the Lafaynier boys or my eyes are going now our I'm not one of them

2328
03:44:07,900 --> 03:44:15,300
Our company's dev teams don't have access to prod and are forced to do everything in testing environments

2329
03:44:15,300 --> 03:44:22,140
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

2330
03:44:22,580 --> 03:44:26,100
Okay, I forgot. I didn't think I did but I know I think that's okay

2331
03:44:27,220 --> 03:44:32,980
No, it's so like at our comp. Yeah, it most companies. No most companies you'll have a

2332
03:44:34,260 --> 03:44:39,820
Select group of people that have access to it and updates have to go through them. It is not very

2333
03:44:40,380 --> 03:44:48,100
Super normal, especially at at sizable teams or non startups or teams that are actually properly in production for just everybody be able to

2334
03:44:48,380 --> 03:44:52,980
Directly access prod and I don't think you should take that as an insult

2335
03:44:52,980 --> 03:44:56,900
I think you should take that as like a hooray. I don't have this

2336
03:44:57,820 --> 03:44:59,820
soul-crushing level of responsibility

2337
03:45:01,220 --> 03:45:06,220
Of security it took me like what it may be a year and a half

2338
03:45:06,340 --> 03:45:14,820
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

2339
03:45:15,500 --> 03:45:19,580
Yeah Yeah, and it's and it's not it's not for me to just make an oops

2340
03:45:19,580 --> 03:45:24,700
I think Dan is gonna screw up so he can't access the thing the biggest part of it is actually like oh

2341
03:45:25,340 --> 03:45:29,460
One of Dan's account gets compromised or if I just make a mistake

2342
03:45:29,460 --> 03:45:37,620
Oh that yeah, you know people to just accidentally miss it some rigor behind your your understanding of the process and how things work

2343
03:45:37,620 --> 03:45:40,860
Because that's a touchy the same to touchy dashboard

2344
03:45:41,260 --> 03:45:44,780
And there's really no confirmation

2345
03:45:45,660 --> 03:45:48,740
It's really not a lot stopping you from making pretty big mistakes

2346
03:45:50,260 --> 03:45:56,300
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

2347
03:45:56,980 --> 03:45:59,740
And like you know some of my teams are in that range

2348
03:46:00,300 --> 03:46:05,660
So some of my teams basically everyone can touch broad, but they're still usually process involved

2349
03:46:06,340 --> 03:46:09,180
To make sure that there's visibility on it stuff like that

2350
03:46:10,180 --> 03:46:13,460
But I don't think the goal should be for everyone to be able to touch prod

2351
03:46:13,860 --> 03:46:17,540
I know There was one conversation

2352
03:46:17,540 --> 03:46:22,380
I was near at one point in time where two people had a certain company were bickering back and forth and the one of

2353
03:46:22,380 --> 03:46:29,740
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

2354
03:46:29,740 --> 03:46:35,380
But I do still think it's generally a better idea to have these updates filter through a smaller group of people

2355
03:46:35,420 --> 03:46:41,100
So that pushes to prod can be controlled should also be a cultural thing where you don't want to have access to prod

2356
03:46:41,180 --> 03:46:45,620
Yeah, because then there's a pressure. Yeah, you know liability. Yeah, yes

2357
03:46:46,460 --> 03:46:52,540
And that be that liability and managing that liability ends up being a significant part of those people's jobs

2358
03:46:52,860 --> 03:46:58,660
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

2359
03:46:59,180 --> 03:47:03,220
and if you just want to build things

2360
03:47:04,140 --> 03:47:08,700
It might not be the best way to do that Anyways, I think we're good

2361
03:47:09,100 --> 03:47:15,580
See you again next week Same bedtime same bad channel. I can't even press it. Mine is this button. You gotta

2362
03:47:17,140 --> 03:47:19,140
Bye

2363
03:47:33,220 --> 03:47:35,220
I

2364
03:47:48,260 --> 03:47:50,260
Did 13 miles
