it's just them who are spared live yeah we direct monitor yeah Luke Luke muted
his mic so I wouldn't have to listen to him mashing an orange between his teeth
I mean I can do this no I don't care it's fine yeah fine yeah fine you feel
free so the first thing you do is punch the air yeah what did the air ever do
honestly a lot approaching the space I mean yeah a small a small fraction of it
is what we actually need so maybe you could selectively punch the the co2 you
know yeah I'm then the nitrogen I'm pretty neutral on but the co2 can go
fuck itself any who hey welcome to the pre-show where Luke punches air and
acidify his water in his gullet we have new pins
I don't know if this is gonna be a great show today I'm gonna say it is you
know like how I do yeah yeah oh part of the show is you saying it's gonna be the
greatest show or a great show I guess well technically what I say is that we
have a great show for you today I don't say that I'm actually gonna give it to
okay nice I'm not X you know because we all know X will give it to you yeah but I
might not right yeah I'm gonna cut that as a thing can he still give it to you
when he's dead he said he's going I think that's a crime but technically I don't
think necrophilia is a crime if the corpse initiates it what a defense that
would be a sorry officer I fell into it that's not the corpse initiating it
still love coming the corpse would have to trip and fall into it which could
happen I mean you seem weakened at burning well yep do we still have a bonus it will be a show of all time it's not gonna
be a good show today all right we've got two minutes and 30 seconds and we're
already talking about necrophilia and the legality do we still have a bonus
been yeah I think so I'm gonna go check I'm gonna go check
yeah so is a zombie a beast or a corpse yeah now there's two there's two
bonus been this no this is an interesting question from Cato S zombie
beast or corpse it's illegal either way so to be clear we're not saying it's
okay we're just saying there could be degrees of not okay I think if zombies
actually exist I think we have to add another category on dead really you
don't think it's a beast it might depend on how sentient it is okay there's a it
would be in a bestiary so it must be a beast but in a lot of games humanoids
are also in beast areas yeah it's just like a collection of creatures is not
man a beast so then it's a beast then because everything's a beast so you're
saying that on our monthly sex night I'm bestiality ing yes interesting I mean
wait is it it's movie night right X was a sound so would he be Mr. Beast
I beast is gonna give it to you I mean
fan fiction what version of slash fiction are we on right now I really
enjoyed right after I said I'm hearing Hey David is your pre-show is a is a
zombie post-scattered wars we're gonna put up a version but it has employee
private information and so it's gonna get replaced all notify you when you can
we just not put up that version then can you give it to me sure you guys do
appreciate and then and then you can go play basketball that makes so much more
sense I I mean I know and also like you know
hmm why is my computer not turning on just had it plugged in for like hours
hello maybe because you do that to it and that oh it's probably cuz I threw it
yeah maybe hmm well I technically didn't throw it well you tried I mean
that's through the backpack yeah you think it's dead
you know I ran into this a little while ago where I like slammed it shut for like
a short because I was like doing a thing for Sammy and it was like kind of being
buggy and I was like that and then it like wouldn't turn on for a little bit
and then it did turn on after that and then you threw it well I'm just saying
I've seen this behavior before why did you make me do that I don't know I'm
sorry I will refrain next time thank you no problem
this can I just run this here well organized table
okay the keyboard lit up that's a good sign
excuse me
the keyboard unlit and then real it yeah something's happening what is that you
hear that right I thought that was a truck is that the wind it couldn't be that
it's gotta be a truck right doesn't sound like it's driving on the track okay I only had one I had only one
earphone off so I didn't have like yeah directional hearing it just didn't seem
like it was moving for a long time
someone mentioned legal legal in the chat what's going on with the honey lawsuits you followed that at all no is it dead because it was performative or is
it dead for a different reason no idea whatever it might also just like take
frickin forever because sometimes legal stuff does that yeah there's just no way
that any of that is actually happening so oh yeah I'm just I'm just wondering
what the reason for it being dead is no clue
can we please make an icon for wanchov odds on Floatplane I I think the LMG
team should just make it a channel for it but sub channel for you don't need the
icon mmm that's smart look at smart look at smart
of course I remember Steve Jobs versus Bill Gates epic rap battles of history
it's pretty good those were peak that was that was some pretty high high level
internet shit postory I'm assuming they don't do that anymore yeah be
I don't think wow they do but like three a year
they perform still wow the the if you fit all of them on if you if you like fill
your screen with thumbnails it goes back five years
and yeah they sure do perform well still my goodness Harry Potter versus Luke
Skywalker that's a choice Lego edition
I mean were they always I remember this I don't think so man like in their
actual beginnings I mean that's not that many videos that's really not that many
videos I thought these were like all the time
this is a Vader versus Hitler one have a hundred million views 106 wow master
chief versus Leonidas is 109 my brothers versus white Bros is 105 161 for the
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that's such a banger thumbnail though oh yeah
that's crazy
63 here that's bigger than the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs one yeah the political
ones seem to do pretty well I mean nothing performs like that anymore
yeah so they were uploading quite a bit back then considering the production
time is stuff and then this gap and then I think it slows down eight years to six
years and this is just like the history and then they start picking up again but
it's slower yeah okay still quite a few in that some of the choices are so random
Hulk Hogan versus Kim Jong-il am I reading that correctly one down one down
there yeah wow new edit maybe there was a second edit maybe that one didn't quite
land yeah maybe
gladly impaler versus count Dracula
any who so that's a thing good dope oh says we need a Trump first term versus
Trump second term that would actually be hilarious like Trump first term could say
things like release the Epstein files and then Trump second term could say things
like I like diddling I don't even think I don't even think you'd have to go that
far you could do Trump at the beginning of this term versus Trump man all right
oh apparently there is a TLDR on the the honey thing the various lawsuits have
been legally found to be related so they're all getting bundled yeah so
basically everything but the Wendover one is performative and was a bandwagon
jump wow what a surprise nice cool and the Wendover one still going forward I
don't know maybe we'll see I just really doubt that any of this is going
anywhere it's so far beyond major concern given everything that's going on in
the world right now that I just don't really see it mattering I think that's
how the legal system works I mean dude it's like it's like a financial at worst
it's like a financial crime which is like sorry what are the consequences for
these exactly they should probably exist I mean and basically everyone's context
this is like huge shrug yeah I don't know if that matters like to be clear
it'll make its way through eventually because like eventually it has to I
just doubt anything will be done
pk7 says given all the other legal matters that are also not happening yeah
yeah basically night oh and financial crime punishment 0.5% of what you made
from the crime dude it's so it's so hard to watch what the actual like penalties
are for this kind of thing like even when it's like huge that's why I mean that's
why everybody does it talk to American companies about how they do things and
why they do things they're almost always just like yeah we just don't do it the legal way and we just stash a little bit of money aside and then if something
happens yeah pay for it and it's we've talked to so many companies that look at
like the way we do things where we like do research and try and figure out how
to do it properly like actually I've had people try to like sit me down to be like
you guys are dumb like I don't understand why you're going out of your way to like
do dumb things the hardest possible way you can and it's like we're trying to
like play by the rules and they're like yeah no one is what are you doing I know
this is how the system is built it's like I know but but but I do think that it
has contributed to my streak which is that I have not had to sue anybody and I
have never been sued by anybody that I'm just saying I'm just saying what is what
a streak in the modern business world
what is what does it take what's the condition for being sued by someone would
you have to be in court I would say what what what constitutes a suit
um being sued
what like what is the difference between a legal action yeah I would say I would
say the I actually don't know I for in terms of like where I'm drawing the
line I would say because we've definitely had people send us a letter
threatening to sue yeah but that's not but that's not being sued yeah I mean
that technically happened like forever ago oh yeah people do that as a bullying
tactic sure yeah like that's just that's I think I remember us dealing with that
like in the in the house I'm not sure if I remember that I think somebody sent a
I think it was a cease and desist and they wanted a bunch of money and it was
because some user uploaded like a photo to the forum and it was a it was a user
uploaded photo and it was like their art or something that rings a bell and
they were like you're distributing it it's on your platform you owe me like
tons of money and I remember another one where I could be wrong about the
timeline there was something to do with um someone found a copyright loophole
where there was a piece of music on youtube's own like approved music list
where the performance was royalty free right but the sheet music was like
copyrighted in Germany specifically and youtube hadn't cleared that
and so someone tried to or someone sent us like a threatening letter over that
and then we just ignored it because that was stupid obviously dumb and we were
like yeah there's no way you're gonna like succeed in this so see you later
yeah that's about as I think that's about as far as anything's gone I don't remember
if we actually addressed that weird forum one but most of them we've just ignored
and then they've gone away because obviously there's no base
yeah there were ones that we did have to draft back um no actually f*** you
letter um so so there have been ones where we've had to go that far it makes sense
that that would happen once you're a bigger fish because then there's more incentive to like have it be yeah what's it what's it called the thing where you um
the thing where you work on uh basically a commission basis I always forget this
stupid word um I know what you're talking about but I don't remember
is it called no not pro bono that's free contingency
so so once you get to be a bit of a bigger fish um it's more common for lawyers to
work on a contingency basis but then if you can if you can fire back and go yeah
your client lied to you and their case is not what they say it is here's proof
points a b c d e and f then they'll no longer interested in that's right yeah so we've
had to deal with that a couple of times but that's been pretty easy for the most part
that makes sense yeah it just is expensive it's just a complete waste of money it feels
like this honestly the the same type of thing as those guys that would just send
invoices to like google and whatnot and nobody would like check if this thing
actually happened and they would just pay it it feels like the same kind of thing where like they're probably just trying to be annoying and then hope that eventually
someone's just like whatever and just like pays to make it go away a maria says i'm a lawyer
who works on a contingency basis only but it's in disability so not that okay well that's good
uh yeah to be clear i have encountered good people who are lawyers it's just the ratio seems off compared
to the general population and i'm honestly i i feel bad for the like genuinely good hearted
lawyers that are out there that have to kind of live with that stigma um
maria says yeah a lot of us aren't great lol
see i feel like i feel like you're having the same experience that like some content
creators do we're like influencer is basically a slur now and it's just like
man lawyers have had that forever oh dude yeah i uh i remember um i remember one of the earliest
like jokes that i remember hearing is what do you call a hundred lawyers encased in cement at the
bottom of the ocean a good start yeah yeah i can assume where this goes yeah yeah yeah sparky's
heard it um oh what's a maria says yeah i love that joke i'm sorry i'm sorry
whoa oh can i help you my phone is like dying oh all right
okay let me put that away oh okay so we have a game plan around scrapyard wars
oh what are we waiting for at this point scrapers or what no nothing we're just gonna start
i don't know did they complain if there's no pre-show oh not many of them but there are floaters
they're they are 40 000 strong they could actually kill us there's enough of them
even if you went like rage mode i'd think they don't have power
like some of them some of them don't seem like fighters i suspect i suspect a hundred crystals
versus one angry guerrilla luke probably you know wouldn't go well for the crystals i still think uh
oh it's ltx
what would that have been 18
i think i don't know what you're talking about it's gonna be really hard for me to verify this
communication about the markers i thought you i couldn't hear you at all i thought you
yelled down to me to like yes don't let anyone get the markers oh my god yes this was at 18 so
what i actually said was it was like distribute the markers to various people or like basically
people were given a challenge to get all the colored markers on their like sheet and each staff
member was supposed to have a different color so it was like a collect the pokemon challenge
so luke had his marker and like sprinted around the venue not letting people catch him or something
so i was given an entire pack of all the markers oh my god
yeah i don't and somebody on the floor like i think it was a staff member or volunteer or
something told me that like i was supposed to keep the markers and then you told me
something that i didn't hear properly and i thought it was basically like he just starts running
yeah and i thought like this is the thing now i'm supposed to keep the markers away from everyone
so i started running and all the people around me thought they heard the same thing so people
started grabbing for the markers which is why i started running and then i just like stood there
and got mobbed by this like massive crowd of people and they couldn't no one could get them
and i came out with like massive scratches all at my arms and stuff because we were like clawing
at me to try to get the markers i was actually like worried about getting like gnarly infections
because it was scratches from people's fingernails like all at my arms but i won
yeah i mean you came out of it better than my car yeah that was that was the whole thing that was
rough that was it like started off kind of cool and then people just dumped glue on my car on the
Windows so stupid i mean i had to know what could happen you know but still like at a certain
point like at first it was a fun art project yeah and then it was trashing a car and like i don't
know i'm not sure when it switched yeah i don't know but i remember seeing at different points
in time and being like this is nuts but the car has always been nuts and it's like kind of neat
and then it just yeah somebody did something to kick it off of just like now it's stupid and
then people just went hard yeah we scrapped it um we wanted to like go in a demolition derby
or like run over in a tank or like do something cool with it but it was just there were various
liability things that made it so that just didn't really work yeah it was also just like gross by
the end of it it wasn't which would have been fine for a demo derby but like yeah fair enough you know
but like it would have needed like thousands of dollars of work to like be demo derby ready like
you can't just oh go in a regular car in a demo derby which makes sense you need like roll cages
and stuff you need all kinds of stuff like you have to like reinforce stuff and like obviously
you can't have like airbags blowing up in the driver's faces during a demo derby right and stuff
you know sure so it's a whole thing like yeah so the whole idea of demo derby is like do you
remember when they used to do a demolition derby at like the p&e and stuff and then that just like
eventually it's not really a thing anyway I don't think it's really a thing because I think
beater cars are now modern enough that they have all these like safety features and crumple zones
and it costs so much to remove all of that that it just doesn't really make any sense anymore right
I'd watch the crap out of a firetruck demo derby though yeah I would be that seems like it'd be
crazy dangerous like how close you're sitting to the front yeah there's also a lot of fire truck
to hit that isn't the front but somebody's gonna screw up at some point well yeah but you'll like
be the front oh yeah obviously right you know dang yeah so there's that bit of a problem yeah
charged nuclear I says drive backwards
apparently there's still demo derbies in Utah I mean yeah that makes sense
like if you have enough people watching it I guess you can overcome the cost and it's very
flat there so you could basically just set up stands for ages big audience
so we have mountains so oh we could put seats on the mountain so there there are no flat places
in BC no no it's all mountains I mean basically it's crazy to live here I'm not even I'm not even
no I'm not even lying like what are you even talking about where are the here I'm gonna bring up a
topographical map right now I will know I will die on this hill which is not a hill it's a mountain
there there are hills I mean there's both everywhere especially if you go north but
okay check there are there are places you could put an arena check this with stance check this
check this okay where's my air quality where what where's the topography how is their air quality
but not people are going after you because apparently Utah has mountains terrain they call it terrain
Utah has mountains please Utah is not flat Utah is not flat I'll show you not flat okay this is
this is lower BC it is literally you wonder why everyone's packed into they look mountains the
Vancouver area this is British Columbia it is literally just mountains where's the Alberta
border it's in here somewhere so are you potentially thinking Ohio uh no okay isn't Utah literally
where they have like the salt flats uh the Bonneville salt salt flats are in Utah it's like
the flattest place that sounds pretty flat to me those are not the entire state though our densely
packed salt pan in tool county in northwestern Utah United States a remnant of the Pleistocene lake
Utah is pretty darn flat and look it's all relative may I remind you again that I am coming at this
from a British Columbian perspective this is our province it is all mountains I think yeah I think
from a BC perspective here's here's you con you could be right I think in a this is BC North American
perspective I think you're wrong okay do you see them do you see the mountain situation there there do
be some mountains here's the rest of the country in mountainous Columbia
can you top a graphical uh Utah sure please those are foothills brother these are mountains
they got some they got some mountains they'd be all like but we could ski on them and I'm like
that's nice that's cute we could ski on all of them a huge slash of mountains right we ski to work
in home every day uphill both ways yeah it's good cardio all right teams getting a visual indicator
that audio is going through the mic mainline topic no no if that's true that's cool I haven't seen it yet
but my goodness that is not a mainline topic them finally getting baseline features that voice
communication applications have had for well over a decade is cannot be a mainline topic
they also desperately desperately need to fix just constantly lying to people about like things
that would be really bad if they were actually like true or happened um like it saying like hey
when I go on my mobile and it's like hey you're gonna you're gonna call on another device do you
want to do you want to switch do you want to switch you want to join that call now and it's
like some call that I was in like hours ago like oh my god it's my mic been open for hours
then I go check and it's like no the app's just wrong you go to schedule a message and it's just
like sent I'm like whoa it's supposed to be scheduled and then like 10 seconds later it's
like oopsie never mind it's actually scheduled it's fine yeah and then you go look at it when
it's supposed to have sent and now it shows two but it only shows two to you it doesn't show two
to everyone and then you go to send a group message to two people that you haven't said a group
message to before and it's like well you can't schedule this you have to wait for no reason isn't
it super cool when you want to share something with multiple people in teams and instead of
sending a group chat it sends that thing to each of them individually you also can't send the message
before the file uploads like everybody else has figured this out it just goes oh they wanted to
send this message I'll just sit with it waiting until the file loads and then send it for them
and teams is like oops nope can't do that pretty sick um anyway anyway not mainline topic
Utah is not flat okay are you guys okay now
Utah is not flat they have a flat place which is more than we have
BC has a desert it's a fun one we also have a rainforest yeah yeah cool right
yeah
I've never seen most of it because I can't see over these mountains it's a tiny mic icon
on the top right that is not noticeable at all wow how are they so bad at this I actually don't
get it just make it do the same ring highlight that everyone else's does
oh man you know looking at this it's actually kind of amazing that our real estate doesn't
cost even more like there's actually like that little spot yeah like there's this whole thing
about how Canada is really big and okay part of it is just sort of BS because of the Mercator
projection and then also it is really big though it is really big but like man so much of it's like
unlivable even when it's not mountain it's like frozen like Manitoba it's it's just it's a lake
it's lake lake land lakeland lakeland canada
just everybody has house boats house apartment apartment boat whatever wicked smart extremely
time I mean that's kind of a cruise ship wicked smart maybe they should just have a bunch of cruise
ships hmm okay what do they do when the lake freezes
trick question play hockey on it the I mean the house boats just stop moving that's fine
yeah I don't actually think that's fine I in in fact I will go as far as to say
they should just use that crazy stuff that they made a ship out of a million years ago that's
like ice and sawdust that I'm fairly certain that that would not be okay they should just do that
that would not be fine though what was that was that do you know the name of that dad no I feel
like that's the thing you would know um they made like a warship pike reed yeah this stuff is crazy
easy
pike reed is a frozen ice composite originally made of approximately 14 sawdust or some other
form of wood pulp such as paper and 86 ice by weight and they made like ships out of it
that's pretty smart yeah or dumb who knows ice domes like when you see like big cool ice constructions
it's like it's often pike reed okay that is that is pretty cool yeah pike reed
neat it was proposed as a building material for an aircraft carrier yeah
project haba cook huh was a british plan during world war two to construct a massive aircraft
carrier out of pike reed that floating island doesn't seem like it should have been yeah it
might be questionable if your floating island is slowly melting all the time yeah and would the
salt mix with it I mean I don't know was only a plan only constructed I thought they had some
like demo boat in a lake it wasn't the aircraft carrier but I thought they had a like test version
in a lake for a while but I could be just totally wrong with that
all right we should probably start the show huh
we could I mean it's just an idea I don't have to it's probably a stupid idea it's an option
all right I'm resuming the selected now okay oh yeah so my laptop is still broken I guess
but only there was someone who made a laptop
that if you broke it by accident you could repair it
what's the I can't think of anyone like that though okay so I'm gonna have no way of knowing
like how many people are watching today which I guess doesn't really matter
okay I'm going for it
oh yeah and I won't know when we're live too then Dan so you might have to signal me
cool okay I hit the thing
what's up everybody and oh welcome to the WAN Show we've got a great show lined up for you guys
this week Roblox sent a cease and desist letter to a youtuber for hunting child predators on their
platform wow that is uh a little awkward also PayPal is not Steam's buddy friend
so the whole thing where payment processors are allegedly dictating to gaming platforms
what type of content they're allowed to sell has escalated what else we got going on this week
YouTube has started to roll out a age verification AI model uh because the the future is fun
and that won't be easy to work around at all can you pick something that's good news uh let me see
I mean I know I didn't yeah that's why it's your job that's a bad one that one's overall kind of
negative that literally says massive step backwards in the title
I don't care about that at all I don't know if anyone does this sucks that's a bad thing that's not a
good thing uh yeah youtuber makes real life aimbot that controls his body who's actually super cool
video I watch it hey let's go
oh man
the show is brought to you today by Squarespace delete me and AMD along with of course our
wrap partner dbrand our laptop partner del and our chair partner secret lab all right let's jump
right into the headline topic and this one's gonna take a minute Elijah
saw that this was about games for kids and uh he took this assignment very seriously creating
an extremely long doc so that we could go through and talk about youtuber Schlepp who has been both
sent a cease and desist letter from roblox and banned from the game related to some of his videos
about roblox Schlepp's channel which has almost 800,000 subscribers has been focused around catching
child predators on the platform a problem that has been rampant for years he has achieved this by
making new accounts waiting for people to engage and then just following along never taking the
leap since in most cases that would be deemed as entrapment Schlepp has been successful in working
with local police and the national center for missing and exploited children to get more than
half a dozen people arrested and charged for some form of crimes against children awesome
Schlepp has tried to work directly with roblox on this issue in the past including sending hundreds
of chat logs and video evidence to them about certain accounts and none have even been successful
at getting the individuals banned nevermind charged which is why Schlepp has been turning to other
methods for help he has even tweeted directly at the roblox ceo several times and um well i mean
is it proof that the ceo saw his tweet if his account was blocked i actually don't necessarily
think so but i think it's likely it doesn't look good no it's not a good look at some companies
like this i wouldn't be super surprised if the ceo wasn't the only person running the ceo's twitter
account the reason for roblox's actions according to the letter that was sent to schlepp are as
follows that he failed to report suspicious activity to roblox through proper channels
which can critically expose roblox's users to increased risk
um no okay okay uh let's go with i mean maybe reason number two maybe reason number two will
be better okay that schlepp is engaging in simulated child endangerment conversations
uh are they simul technically technically he's not a child so that's like technically true
but is it relevant no okay cool i don't think so i mean look we're not it's allegedly not relevant
hold on i need to come sit on your side for a second here oh uh oh oh i see
we're not legal experts we both press it it goes faster we're not legal experts so you know this is
all this is all from the common sense school of not being a dipshit so um let's go with let's go
with reason number three yes that schlepp is directing users to move conversations off platform
wait what but which comes from these predators often requesting to have conversations on other
platforms like discord yeah because up above it said that he follows their lead so if if he was
doing this i think that would actually potentially be a bad thing but based on what we previously
read and based on the attached note to this it sounds like he's just jumping with them off
platform when asked to go off platform which i don't think is a bad thing does it okay here's a
question for you does it matter who instigates who says we should move off platform i think so it
does i think so personally um
if you are ebay and there's an ebay seller and the ebay seller it goes hey man message me
don't buy this message me i'll get you a better price who are you mad at well hold on a second
you're mad at the seller let me give you a let me give you a different example yeah okay okay
so i'm ebay okay and uh there's a seller who is selling um child materials okay and either the
buyer or the seller says they want to move a conversation off platform who f***ing cares
who decided to move the conversation off platform i should probably deactivate the account yeah
yeah so that's my counter argument but which account both yeah well okay hold on hold on hold
on no the no the person with the materials so you're always in your situation there's a buyer
of said material so please ban them both okay that's not really the scenario that we're talking
about i see what you mean i see what you mean so basically row okay so this is the first one
that i think we could maybe agree there is a shred of merit too because you could make the argument
that schlepp is is offering what these people want and claiming and trying to move them off
platform if if if that actually happened which schlepp claims it didn't twice in this document
it says that he didn't this is all we know right now so it depends it depends on the it depends
on the scenario if he's trying to move people off platform then sure but if he's being asked to move
off platform then i don't think that's his problem i don't think that's his problem at all no okay number
four that schlepp is sharing or soliciting personally identifiable information is he doxing
these people and or is sharing or soliciting well soliciting would already be just what yeah what
does that mean it just means asking for oh so by asking these people for any kind of personally
identifiable information and i could see that being against to us and i could see row blocks
having something to stand on here sure however kind of again one grain of sand on the beach i
asl oh my there's a throwback yeah it's been a minute there's a throwback it's it's funny because
i didn't really think much of it at the time but i definitely had adults say that to me
when i was definitely a minor oh yeah that was like
sorry but someone chats it 14 f cali and that's just like that was indeed the joke back then
also you're a liar yeah yeah we know our demographics
it's like 28 m cali
an optimistic 28 whenever is that our democrat is it higher than 28 no uh no not necessarily
yeah i didn't think so 18 to 45 i actually think if you looked at like the most common one it's
probably it's 25 to 35 yeah okay yeah so if i recall correctly so 28 m cali is probably actually
like a probably pretty uh yeah pretty bang on it's not too bad Yvonne and i have kind of like a
little like a thing so whenever like whenever a woman starts approaching like they're gonna like
they're gonna talk to me i'll like i'll like give her i'll give her a little look Yvonne i mean
i'll give Yvonne a little look stop you knew what i meant no i knew already the clarification was
funny because i realized that other people might think the other way so i'll give Yvonne a little
look and it's like uh it's like uh wait for it wait for it look so so she walks up
hi my boyfriend is such a big fan or or here's the other one hey
my boyfriend was way too shy to come talk to you can you take a picture with him
those are the two most common things yeah and you can substitute boyfriend with husband or son
it's a fun when it's not that it's fun because it's like you you found a uh like a rare rare
pull yeah yeah it's like oh sick there's like one of our really small female audience you are the
one percent yeah it's like the heck yeah always fun like oh wait they do exist let's go yeah yeah
we did it yeah it's it's it's a it's a good one it's a good one anyway anyway let's let's carry on
um in schlepps video he explains why he engages in this kind of vigilante justice which i don't
even i don't even know if i'd consider it to be fully vigilante if you are involving law enforcement
like it's it's certainly vigilante if you try to apprehend the person
you know you interesting yeah i don't know if you try to punish them like if you try to play
you know the role of judge jury executioner your judge dread um but i don't know that i would necessarily
i don't know if i would necessarily agree um yeah because so vigilante's definition
is a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community
without legal authority typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate
and i guess they're taking a portion of it yeah but they're not actually enforcing the law yeah
they're finding the person and then handing the information to enforce the law over to the cops
i don't know where the line on that ends up with like what they are like it does does that mean
they're a vigilante even though they're not enforcing the law because i have seen situations
where these people detain people for these types of yeah things and that's enforcing the law
a whole other situation to a certain degree okay but we need to have a bit of a side conversation
here because apparently it's vigilante not vigilante yep all right what do i say you said
vigilante yeah yeah apparently i apparently i said it wrong i did another i did another Linus
oh where i just assume i assume based on the spelling of this word that it has kind of a french
origin um so whack dude yeah that may be true the term oh it actually has spanish orie spanish
origins not french so i don't i i don't know a lick of spanish so i don't i have no idea
how the yeah yeah exactly um one uno uno uno staco that like that's as far as i could get
no dose trace quattro cinco el mayo
and i only know that because the the sublime song um
so yeah i made the assumption based on the spelling that it had a french origin
which i was wrong about and then if it had a french origin my pronunciation wouldn't have been
outlandish um i will keep that in mind you guys have successfully uh vigilante
justice to me and enforce the law of english um someone in tulping chat karo said uh that is
like saying calling in a tip as vigilante is and i don't think that is the equivalent no it's not
at all because you are actively engaging with the individual so i mean i think it's it's more akin to
seeing someone behaving suspiciously and then like like following them in your car
while you're like on the phone with the police with their hands free because it's 2025 and
and like you know trying to like help them round them up like or even going as far as like
kind of steering them in one direction versus another direction i remember one time literally
driving home cops will tell you not to do generally speaking from my understanding exactly so i was
driving home from here one time yeah and there was an obviously drunk driver who if i remember
correctly they even like bumped a median at some point stuff like they were very obviously drunk
this was not distracted driving this was impaired driving and i i called it in um and i was giving
them updates on like where they were and they were like this is a weird traffic pattern are you
following them and then my brain was like calculating and i was like no i am going home and
i'm afraid to pass them yeah something something and the the person on the phone was like
okay and then i was like yeah i suspect i won't be able to keep uh giving you tabs on that because
like i am gonna not be able to see them for long and they were like okay and then i kept following
them for our uh going home for like i think a minute or two and then was like this is gonna
get bad so i just bailed but i bet you they were never caught because i had to bail because like
i was it was very clear i was going to get in trouble i'm a little surprised at how for not
following them i'm a little surprised at how little we've seen law enforcement use just like
cheap consumer drones for stuff like this like in cases where um you know there's a really
egregious uh speeding offense or where a high-profile suspect is fleeing like they'll pull out a
helicopter to like chase them and it's like okay but like what if there was a middle what if there
was somewhere in between car and helicopter and to be clear i know it is a thing i just mean i'm
i'm surprised i don't do it more no i i don't remember where i thought it was in the uk but
i'm not sure where it is they have like a a drone unit and they have like a tower somewhere in the
city where they launch the drones from um and it's like a whole thing but i don't remember where oh
interesting i don't remember where it is i watched like a little mini doc on it um lobster says the
range on them is just not that great but like i mean yeah it doesn't have to be that great like
they're so low cost uh if you just had like a little landing pad on like especially these days
i'm like every police station yeah like i to be to be clear i'm not i'm not saying compared to
literally sending out a helicopter one time uh beto 588 says they do it lots in california
apparently yeah and and i was i don't know if this is the one i was talking about but i was
right apparently the uk does have like a drone unit yeah and kiln just says they do drones when
the purpose on foot so it might be like a speed issue then interesting yeah okay florida's rolling
them out as well some other places there you go uh etzium says helicopter maintenance is expensive
yeah exactly that's that's what i'm saying you send out the helicopter one time uh and you could
have bought a bunch of drones yeah to be honest all right anyway back to back to the topic um
anyway in schleps video he explains why he does this it starts because he cares about roadblocks
since it was not only his favorite game growing up but also because he met his current girlfriend
through the platform so it has kind of a special place in his heart but and this is where things
get a little bit more kind of real um it's also because when he was playing when he was younger
he was a victim of some of these predators so he feels it's right to make sure that no child
goes through the same thing schlep is now banned from ever accessing roadblocks again
even on his family friendly channel where he just casually plays the game if you are interested in
learning more and doing some research for yourself he has a website schlep.tv where you can support
his content over there as he continues on this journey um here's some extra roadblock stats
according to the demand sage dot com 380 million monthly active users 85.3 million daily active
users now i do suspect that's a little juiced um i i was looking at uh heard some stats it's like
more than half juiced my my son's computer um like his monitor wasn't off when he was away at
camp for a week and i was like why isn't his monitor turning off so i went to go like power cfg
like what what's keeping it away and i was like oh there is a dragged down like idle game in the
bottom corner so like i mean if there's a lot of that going on i wish there certainly is which
there certainly is then this may not be quite neat yeah it's also like as far as i know like
was super bothered i mean everything is these days but like but there's an estimated 32 and a
half million of those 85 million monthly or daily active users that are supposed to be
apparently under the age of 13 wow uh so our discussion question then is chris hanson wildly
increased the popularity of vigilanteism against child predators and for many years now we've seen
people on all sorts of platforms like twitch kick roadblocks youtube etc attempt to do the same
thing here's well here's a question though is chris hanson of vigilante because he the cops
would arrest the person as far as my understanding goes chris hanson never touched anybody yeah he
just talked to them yeah no i i would i would say no i don't know like what the the legal line is
but what he sure as heck isn't is a law enforcement officer totally but he didn't enforce the law
either i certainly see i certainly see why people would draw a parallel so i can say that much he
he like it detected he found he didn't enforce but then i did it in direct association with
law enforcement rather than doing it and then turning over data
but then is that just are we basically saying hey law enforcement needs to kind of get it
together and work with people on this then like if if people are willing to do it for free and all
they have to do is kind of have a department that is like overseeing it hey yeah sure but then
they're they might be responsible for what some of these people do and some of them are like deeply
not okay oh yeah um okay i wasn't finished my discussion question though okay the discussion
question is a is a spicy one are you in support of vigilanteism or do you agree with the stance of
roblox and others that doing this often leads to no actual charges uh because of doing this
like because you are not necessarily like doing it properly it can it can make it difficult to
charge these people hold on hasn't he been successful by he has been successful in working with local
police so that's just not true he has been but that's but but to be clear we're talking more
broadly more broadly speaking a lot of the times this kind of vigilanteism can create problems with
the legal case that can allow these people to walk free i think one big problem with this question
in general is that it's such a any group that you can freely join or enter without anyone's input
at all is a problem yeah always yep because any bad actor can join and do things under the banner
at any time and especially a thing like this where the banner is hey we are trying to do a
objectively universal good which is stopping children from being preyed upon yep that banner
is pretty neat oh banner however someone with bad intentions to go oh i was doing good things
so like it's it's dangerous it's hard to say universally uh yes this is okay people should do
it um i think it would be really great if there was programs where you could work with the cops
and they were overseeing what you were doing and they had to be able to like be able to have access
to all of your chat logs and everything and like all that kind of stuff and make sure that it was
all above board because i think things could go bad quick um and you should be like if if you do
yeah yeah man this is uh this is tough because there as far as my understanding goes there have
been genuinely innocent people caught and lives ruined over uh you know whatever assumptions
um i don't know how much that's people hiding behind that yeah it's hard to say because their
case got thrown out of court because something happened incorrectly and then they said oh it
got thrown out of court that means i'm innocent but do process even if they're not as inconvenient
as it might be does exist for a reason very important yeah i so that's why i i when i hear
this thing of like he's not actually doing any of the enforcement he's just gathering chat logs
handing over over to the police and it has been successful to me that's like huge w jamie jamie
cullen says had a neighbor get questioned live on facebook by a predator hunter group false
accusations ruined him and and hopefully your neighbor actually wasn't involved in any of that
stuff and you know i don't i don't know i wasn't i wasn't there i i didn't didn't see any of it
but if that's the case that's that's horrible that is a that is a completely unacceptable
collateral damage outcome like you can't you can't blow up hospitals because a couple of bad guys
might be in there well that's true yeah i no i agree so like it's uh that's where it gets not
everyone agrees yeah i think that's as close as we're going to get to that topic literally ever
yeah but i mean uh that's um it's it does make it tough i think it would be good
if there are routes um because like neighborhood watches are a sanctioned thing right oh yeah
oh yeah that's true like there are versions of this yeah so why don't we just do it what's the
neighborhood watch equivalent of that i don't know i don't know either because that's totally
a thing and like there's things as the neighborhood watch that you can't do because like i you could
make the argument that because the neighborhood watch you're you're in your home right so it's
there's there's a certain sort of like like property you're not just in your home they
do patrols and stuff they do patrols some of them do patrols they'll walk through alleys and
sorry i don't i don't necessarily mean your personal property like i mean you are you're
you're on your turf like there's a there's a there's a there's almost like a standard ground
i understand i misunderstood i got home defense element of it but like why wouldn't that necessarily
extend to my online domain and i don't mean a domain a literal domain like dot com i mean like
like my online i don't know i don't know how to describe it other than my my turf my my zone my
my chill hangouts you know yeah to add to this uh binky draws said and i love this story i've
well that's not a good story but it's a very interesting one and i reference it all the time
reddit has a famous story where they went after a kid they thought did the boston bombings but it
turns out the kid committed suicide unrelated to the event and reddit started going after their
family that's the whole we did it reddit reference yeah i know like yeah that was brutal there are
there are clear and obvious downsides to just like deciding that somebody did something without
going through any form of like real proper process and then uh social justicing the heck out of them
when um they they possibly didn't do it like it's it's it's rough uh that being said
i like the idea if they're gonna work with law enforcement and they're gonna try to do it as
properly as you can no systems ever going to be perfect but if they genuinely try to do it as
properly as they can from what i've read it sounds like schlepp is doing that i think that's cool
so i'm not going to say a blanket like vigilante justice is good so you don't stand with spider
man i see but i would so that's tough yeah but not all these people are spider man which is the
problem right some of these people are terrible people going oh there's a banner that makes
everyone think i'm good and then acting terribly that is absolutely a thing that's happening so
it's it's a it's touchy ground i think a sanctioned sanctioned group would be cool having like
they should even go you know the old like neighborhood watch signage that like looked
kind of cool yeah they should do that and make it like the guy with the hat or whatever right yeah
yeah yeah yeah they should do they should do that and make it like or similar to that and
make it like internet watch watch sign hold on okay apparently there's a movie called that
yeah yeah yeah the guy that looked like a canadian yeah hey buddy that's his jacket get out of here
but i do agree
yeah that i'm gonna do crime but yeah that logo was sick do do like something kind of
similar to that but make them like add a computer or something um and make it internet watch i think
that'd be dope because yeah like screw this stuff man um it's not good
all right why don't we move on to our next topic Dan or are you not tracking time today
you are perfectly on time no one minute 26 seconds that's impossible so this is i adjusted
perfect okay perfect job sir oh thank you speaking of uh not being your buddy friend
oh where are we going yeah the first word of this was the wrong word um which is why i couldn't
read it while steam has been having issues with mastercard and visa threatening to pull
payment processing due to adult content allegedly steam has been quietly fighting with paypal at
the same time users trying to purchase games with paypal are receiving an error message that reads
we are temporarily unable to process transactions with this payment method at this time the earliest
reports that pc gamer could dig up show this issue appearing as early as a month ago in countries like
the eu and also mexico while some theorized that these paypal issues may have been related to the
nsfw crackdown a new pop-up message clearly states the problem and here it is in early july 2025 which
aligns with um what pc gamer was able to find paypal notified valve that their acquiring bank
for payment transactions in certain currencies was immediately terminating the processing
of any transactions related to steam this affects steam purchases using paypal in currencies other
than euro cad uh gbp uh japanese yen australian dollars and us dollars we hope to offer paypal
as an option for these currencies in the future but the timeline is uncertain we are also evaluating
adding additional payment methods on steam for the customers affected by this so that's that's
all a quote from the new pop-up message is this paypal's fault hard to say what's the acquiring
bank here's some ignorance for you uh not in my notes got it cool chat on august 14th of valves
no like what sorry what is an acquiring bank i don't know okay yep you can look it up
i'll let me let me go through the notes for the rest um on august 14th a valve spokesperson
confirmed to rock paper shotgun that the withdrawal of support from the acquiring bank is regarding
content on steam and is related to what we've previously commented on commented on surrounding
mastercard wow okay acquiring bank is the bank that like gets the funds from the credit card
okay so basically we have yet another situation down the chain where financial institutions
are dictating what we can or cannot buy with our f***ing money i'm just i'm just trying to say
i am one of the first people to step up to bat whenever a hating paypal competition begins
this doesn't necessarily seem like it's paypal no it does not appear to be i'm just trying to be
real uh this feels like paypal is passing on a problem from these acquiring banks um and i'm
just i'm having a hard time trying to trying to wrap my brain around this like is the concern
because we've talked on the show before but we'll do a bit of a sort of recap here only fans ran
into big challenges with payment processors like stripe where they were allegedly being pressured
from upstream um so this would have been coming from the credit card companies i guess maybe
or maybe coming from farther upstream it's very hard to say because the whole thing is kind of
shrouded in secrecy but they were getting pressure um not to allow payments through only fans and then
they saw how much money it was and they backed you down is basically how it went because there
are no principles once the dollar value gets high enough um and it turns out the whole thing was
just pure hypocrisy so anywho um shoot where was i going with this
don't remember
cool we disagree wait we disagree on what i don't remember nice i'm so tired dude
it's been yet another very long i wish i could help you back to where we came from but yeah i don't
i don't know we were talking about how it's not it's not really a paypal thing
no one else in chat seems to have the answer oh yeah yeah i remember okay okay so so this is
so this is a thing and as far as i can tell the best kind of rationale in in these various
situations that i've heard is that these brands don't want their logo associated with certain
types of content like let's say for instance that you were an escort which i mean you don't know i'm
not you don't know i'm not give me a little give me a little give me a little pout what's the what's the
a pout yeah i might be a different type of escort well that doesn't matter the the point is look
go on go on wink at us yeah come on look right into the camera give us a look i can't wait i can't
wink at all oh just a little i can't see damn see i can't execute this expert expertly because
usually i just blink both eyes yeah it looked good okay sure yeah nice your fire um so so let's say
you're an escort sure and you basically had like uh like uh you there's our us
sorry i had to brand it i you just gotta do it so so you're um so so your profile
all right sorry yeah yeah um so your profile on a on a list of some sort you know has uh
you're wearing a you're wearing a shirt that's like i accept mastercard or something like that
you know give me your mastercard i well that that's the thing
yeah they're actually sweatpants remember the like butt print that used to be on sweatpants
yeah
no so not down okay so anyway that's your profile
the argument that these brands seem to be making is that they do not want that kind of
association they don't want to be associated so obviously it wouldn't be quite as direct as that
yeah yeah but on this undesirable content their their logo would appear and logo placement and
associated content like it or not agree or not there's a high degree of brand sensitivity
around it there's tons dude you can look up uh style guides on how you have to use different
brands logos and they're like how much spacing there needs to be around it what color backgrounds
the various versions of it are allowed to be on it's it's painful actually actually quite
extensive but hopefully we'll just ignore it but when you have a strong brand i can understand
the desire to to protect it however let me just let me just um you know for the sake of argument
say something i don't give two shits about mastercards or visa's brand is there anyone out
there that's like wow i like there's gotta be somebody but i hear what you're saying i like
paypal i go out of my way to use paypal okay i actually do know people that are like that it's
usually because in their country for whatever reason credit cards are difficult um and they
they use paypal as like a credit card workaround for web payments ixfn724 says i'm a slut for diners
club is that but that's not visa or mastercard that's a big equivalent sub brand isn't it no
diners diners club and like diners club discover like there's other credit card brands but they're
all running on the visa and mastercard back ends serious and whatever else i'm i bet you
oh they're real they're probably on the same back end but i don't get because serious is just
mastercard it's like NVIDIA selling an NVIDIA branded GPU mastercard siris has their own card
and it's master oh okay so i'm confused because diners wasn't at some point but maybe they are now
and discover is their own network same with mx oh yeah so so no there there are more it is not
quite it's not just a duopoly yeah i'm not like super up to speed yeah yeah it's not quite a duopoly
says says chat so make of that i mean no other i mean they're they're probably but like these
these diners club is these brands like our is it not doing more damage to them that they are
interfering with us spending our own money on whatever it is that we want versus having their
logo next to something why don't they just say don't show our logo honestly even with even with
the fact that there is more than two and two is already more than one i think the effective
monopoly that these players have they just don't care but they do seem to care that's the thing
why do they care that's what i'm trying to figure out always felt like i already hate you anyway
yeah like we we hate you anyway you literally just like sit and and scrape off of every transaction
i've actually been i've been thinking about it more lately and um i've like i often forget
because it's so convenient because it's the one i keep at the front of my wallet but you know what
i'm gonna do it now i'm gonna move my debit card to the front of my wallet because why would i use
my credit card it literally just costs whoever i'm buying from anywhere from an additional
that's kind of a pretty based way to see it like i like that that's cool like it's brutal they're
just gonna say you get points for yourself yeah because what i could do is i could just because
like my points like i'll i'll get like a one percent cashback but why don't i just use my debit card
and then tip 19 percent it's effectively the same thing yeah but i give visa nothing yeah
yeah kind of sick kind of sick people are saying extended warranties buyer protection yeah yeah it
can be very useful fraud protection can be very useful it's a more security in general i don't
know about more security not sure if i they have more like i would say like insurances on having
issues with them yeah that can be true not necessarily more security okay fine so they're
providing a valuable service but what gives them the right to decide where i can spend my money
that's my objection do debit cards not that i'm aware because this one said the acquiring bank was
the problem so could a debit card that you have with a bank do this is there any place that has
that problem debit cards use the same payment networks i've got a merch message here that's
kind of related to down in a way with regard to the PayPal situation should a bank be allowed to
choose its customers i mean i'm pretty sure they do you can't have proceeds of crimes or drugs and
stuff like that you might not be able to get alone i don't think they're i don't think they're
allowed to choose that though i think that's like they're like i know that there's there's there's
a big conversation in the states right now around banks supposed previous discriminatory practices
alleged alleged discriminatory discriminatory practices around being allowed to choose their
own customers and it looks like the general consensus is that while there has been a sort
of right for banks to choose their own customers though that may not necessarily be the case
going forward so it seems like there is at least some momentum towards no you actually are not
like allowed to choose who banks with you what what does that mean
how does that get enforced what does banking constitute does banking include getting a loan
because they have to be able they have to be able to choose who they give loans to
but not choose based on any sort of um how do you police that
loop i don't have the answers to this because you're gonna have like an interview
or they're gonna read your name on on a on a document yeah you'll have that i mean i think
that's a big part of why these institutions hide behind algorithms because then they can just be
like well i i didn't know what computer says no i didn't know what color their skin was yeah i just
all i knew was the neighborhood they lived in and the school they went to and and their name and
and yeah i knew that what their spending habits are and what their online browsing
activity is very likely yeah that that's all i knew what various accounts they have
that's all i knew what are all those sites like something mingle.com they're on they
they use that we know that give me a bit of a hint farmers only farm yeah very good
oh i check the gathering gamers mingle isn't that like a self-help group
are you tired of your partner leaving you because you spent too much money on magic cards campaign
right you both did generally speaking i think for job i think what we would
prefer and i'm gonna try and speak on behalf of luke as well so we can kind of summarize this
and wrap it up i think what we would prefer is that credit organizations and banking organizations
get out of the way big time and do their job which is to be a facilitator and not do things
other than that your job should be to store and move move and in some ways with my consent
manipulate the money that i have and when i choose to deposit or i choose to withdraw
you should get out of the way unless those funds are the proceeds of criminal activity human
trafficking illicit substances trafficking you know cool so if you're looking for anything to do
i'm not saying to do this but i will objectively pass along that the community has mounted petitions
and campaigns calling for people to overwhelm visa and mastercard support with constant complaints
about their policies interesting i wouldn't encourage anybody to do that
yeah but if you wanted to um just stay away from learning how to do those things there's
there's many resources online all right cool so be careful with your internet oh this is rumor
mill uh anna v an nsf w vtuber and outspoken poster regarding the mastercard ban claims a
source reached out to them claiming that mastercard a major e-sports sponsor has requested that riot
and e-sports content creators working with riot games keep an eye out for negative sentiment
towards mastercard i mean do the do do do you really need anyone to keep an eye out for that
like it it's there yeah we all hate this you're welcome yeah i don't know all right cool i don't
think i've ever heard anyone ever say a positive thing about any of the like credit backbone
companies they clearly just like prey on people um i don't i i think their fight is to try to
take it from negative to neutral if anything i don't think they're ever expecting to get
to positive i don't think you can be in that industry and expect people to get to positive
with you don't think so personally i mean i've definitely i hear people speak positively about
individual cards yeah that's a thing this is a good card amix seems to have a pretty strong brand
yep these days i've personally never been able to figure that out they are a backbone thing
really why uh well okay because i don't value the perks that they offer got it like i i like
okay i guess we're gonna do the thing where i sort of real talk i could afford you know
uh what are the what are the mx perks though i don't have a i don't know what perks you're talking
about um okay like you can like you can this is not an amix commercial yeah not even a little um
but like i hear people speak positively about them as well like i i could afford the annual
wouldn't everyone have them sorry if they're that good wouldn't everyone and they're so uncommon
no no because they have really high fees so i could afford the fee of a centurion i think it's
invite only so i couldn't necessarily even get one but it's the black card okay like like the
amix black card cool um but the the perks that it offers are not things that i really value
like you you can like at certain festivals they'll have like a tent where you can go okay
and yet that's not for us
we're we're not gonna benefit from this
okay anyway so you can get access to things like travel rewards um airport lounges
personally i get anxiety when i sit in an airport lounge because i'm somewhere not at my gate
you feel like you're gonna miss it yeah i feel like i'm gonna miss my flight so that has zero
value to me whatsoever coming back from defcon it was close because we were sitting in an airport
lounge um and i like happened to check the time it was like oh we need to be there in like
eight minutes until boarding ends and while we were running there they call their names over the
thing according to an ai overview so take take this for what it is um the centurion card
also offers automatic elite status with various hotel and car rental programs
um i have never i'll be i again i i i could probably like get elite with a hotel chain
or something but i stay in hotels based on how close they are to whatever it is that i'm doing
not based on that they have a super nice cool brand i don't care about that at all i have
literally zero loyalty to any hotel brand you can you can take that to the bank um so i don't care
about that but maybe elite status is really cool okay rest assured says my boss has an mx black
and he gets free car rentals somehow but see that's the thing he doesn't get free car rentals
mx centurion he's paying for it price so the cost of it is a one-time initiation fee of ten
thousand dollars and a five thousand dollar annual fee oh so he doesn't get free he doesn't get free
anything he gets that he already paid for it is your first year 15 grand or is the five grand
included in the ten grand um it is fifteen thousand dollars for the first year it's crappy dp
says but if you spend more than ten thousand dollars in rentals hear me out uh yeah now to be
clear mx has lower lower fee cards yeah way lower i think i think they're cobalt or something like
a hundred bucks i'm specifically talking about like the black card yeah um that that has like
sort of this urban urban legend around it that it has an unlimited credit limit on it
i mean which is not true at all they have no annual fee cards yeah there you go so whatever
so i i don't know i just i find i do find it a little confusing but it's it's been kind of
showing up in my feed lately that like you know amax is really popular is is like really growing
with like younger generation debt is really growing with younger generations okay no but
like their share their market share mm-hmm mm-hmm yeah the younger generations market share of debt
is really growing i know i'm kidding okay yes yes okay yes um dude the the youngins on the
clarna's is like a huge problem we've talked about that on the show before but it's like just getting
worse oh no cool um apparently someone bought a house with that card uh or or a don man says
i had a friend with one of those cards and he could flash that card at restaurants that were
months out for reservations and we would get a table he bought a house on that card so see this
is the kind of thing that like if if somebody flashed me that card when i was at like a an
LTT Store pop-up i probably wouldn't even recognize it yeah like my credit card is black in color
yeah i wouldn't know like if you have the right black colored card or not so is mine i've had
the same one since the basement suite so you can kind of like make some assumptions so i like it
goes to casco 500 credit card yeah do you have an executive member i do i'm an executive member
very nice very nice i think it started around there executive executive um so like i this is
clearly a world that i don't really understand it's also a world that is very limited in canada
compared to the states but it's also apparently a world it's a thing it is it's it's evidently a thing
hob siltoff says it's also not a credit card as with most mx cards it is a charge card okay
all right it's time for me to learn it's time for me to learn charge card live on the WAN Show
credit card versus charge card comparison okay there's no ai overview so we're going straight
to the horse yeah that's rough here's the horse's mouth credit card versus charge card however there's
a difference knowing about credit card lets you pay for purchases without cash they offer a line of
credit or loan that allows you to make purchases and pay back the amount later if you fail to pay
the balance due in full you are charged an interest on the amount owed okay that was my understanding
of i thought charge card just meant credit card so here's a charge card a charge card works like a
credit card okay great case closed no okay we'll actually finish it but without offering the option
of making a partial payment you are required to pay your charge card bill in full by the due date
they offer no preset spending limit meaning that your charges are approved based on your
spending pattern financials credit record in your account history but that's how they determine your
credit limit this sounds like a distinction without a difference folks except you have to pay the full
amount which wouldn't that be bad for them no because they still get their processing fee
remember they win they win whether you're in debt with them or not they're no interest
effectively but i guess unless you fully fail to unless you fail to pay then i'm sure they'd
be happy to charge you fees an interest for it which means it's still a credit card
like i said it appears to be a distinction without a real difference
um so that's neat doesn't everyone have to get their card replaced over a few years
yeah how could you have this same card for that long because they just ship me a new one of the
same card yeah but with different numbers yeah but it's the same account yeah don't worry it's okay
yeah okay yeah if you don't pay in full they turn the card off and charge fees an interest and may
cancel your card so the charge card is basically to flex that you are not actually in debt
through the card sure
who cares yeah not through this card i might have 12 more in my wallet
okay invite only lots of things that are invite only are invite only up until the point where
you have enough money and centurion's not invite only anymore you can apply these days whereas it
used to be legitimately invite only and apparently there was some kind of black magic around looking
at your spending patterns not just how much money you spend but like what you spend it on so like i
never would have gotten an invite because you have to like buy fine dinings and and private travel and
like concierge services and like all kinds of stay at fancy hotels and stuff like that like they
only wanted to attract a certain sort of customer
pball says so a charge card is like a fancy debit card that gets paid at the end of the month
yeah it's it's basically like a debit card with overdraft yeah
that you have to pay every month so that's something
all right what are we supposed to be doing right now now you're gonna do
you and merch messages oh neat okay let's do that how far off are we done 25 seconds
no way are you a wizard what happened i changed the uh wancho timing that's what i'm saying wait
so wait we didn't get better you just got more accurate at predicting our fuckery i think so a
little bit oh well that's less impressive than no i that's impressive of Dan oh yeah okay i i thought
we were impressed with ourselves for staying on well the thing is that i could have got it wrong
and you're the one who's been driving this and it's been perfect so wow everybody wins 55 minutes
we're 56 where we go dad good good job team now explain what a merch message is all right
if you want to interact with the show the way to do it is with a merch message we don't do
like twitch bits or super chats or anything like that because we think when you throw money at your
screen you should get spectacular merch in return and boy do we ever have a doozy for you this week
all you got to do to send a merch message is go to lttstore.com
and be greeted by the scribe driver mechanical pencil that's right my friends we now
to be unboxed by the one and only luke lafrenier he's not going to screw it up this time we now
have a mechanical pencil that is made out of harvested shafts that's right when you accidentally
buy a hundred thousand screwdriver shafts from a supplier that doesn't meet your quality standards
for screwdrivers but you really want to use those three tons of metal for something you make pens
or in this case pencils the scribe driver pencil is a precision machine mechanical pencil for an
elevated everyday carry it's got a premium finish built to the same standards as our tools
and allows you to write all day long the knurled grip section offers a secure comfortable hold
for controlling consistency whether you're writing notes or sketching up your next big project
and they're refillable naturally with 0.5 millimeter lead the schmitt dsm 2007 fine
minimum pencil system delivers clean consistent lines for writing sketching or making measurements
and it's preloaded with 0.5 millimeter lead and we could do this entirely like that or we could
just make life easier and show it like this good effort luke solid i tried so it still has
kind of a bolt actiony kind of thing going on yes you can operate it from the side yeah but that
was only to keep it consistent with the id of the pen yes or you can operate it from the top
yeah because you can just click the top yeah because obviously you would want to click the top
because it's a mechanical pencil sure but we didn't want it to look so different also this is cute
yeah i like that you can see the size of the uh i don't know do they still call them pencil lead
even though they're like graphite or whatever probably sure there it is folks look at it isn't
it beautiful oh nice you got both there yep heck yeah so we have it in brass or in silver i like
the idea of having one of each color because you can you can differentiate but that makes it even
easier uh oh also introducing our series five pins we have six fun new designs by sarah and team
including blue screen glitter lambo right to repair circuit heart and what we know is going
to be luke's favorite that's right budgies they already are they're so awesome so that's that's
scoop and while i scoop is the it's it's kind of a white and blue and then while he's the the green
and yellow so one of them is holding an LTT CPU the other is holding a Floatplane CPU this is
obviously styled after like a pantone chip not infringing though not infringing i'm sure of course
not um and then this one has a little bit of like glitter so it's my it's my old very stylish vehicle
and then of course we have the CPU heart and right to repair oh yep yep gorgeous pins as always and
hey don't forget to pick up a wan cork board so that you can put all of your new pins on it
very cool i'm stoked about the birds that's awesome all right now Dan what am i supposed to do now
do a merge message i think now we do merge messages okay then we do more topics that's how it works
okay okay we've got our merge messages okay uh let's see hey dale all super excited for whale
land i was able to get a whale vip spot anything you're excited for during the event and any
recommendations to do while in the surrey bc area yeah i'm super excited to it hopefully goes okay
are there any changes changes compared to last time uh yes i know like you said you were gonna
force people to not play games or something different force people to not play you were you
were planning a bunch of stuff oh okay okay okay that's a long-term plan the long-term plan is to
convert whale land from like a pure by oc to more of like a an experience so this is the same as the
last one this will be basically a by oc however hopefully if everything goes according to plan
with what elijah's working on we will actually have a really cool project that people will be able
to use in person that will be sort of a precursor to some of the upcoming more experience driven
whale landness so he's working on um i believe it's an 8 v 8 completely like packable rack
mountable like versus gaming setup nice that's pretty much just going to be pre-loaded with a
small handful of games allowing people to kind of come in sit down play like right across the monitor
from each other like literally head to head and um not have to worry about you know the quality of
the if if someone else's peripherals were a little better or you know their pc was a little better
and more of like a like an almost competitive like a more esports style um it's going to be
from what i've seen of the plan a super cool setup so each of the eight systems is going to be
i want to say it was going to average about two rack units per three rack units per two systems
or something like that like it's it's like they're going to be really compact and basically you'll
just have these like like kind of on wheels like rollable rack units at at the ends of the tables
and then all of the or probably the middle and then they'll come out so that we can keep the
cable shorter and then it'll do four and four on either side of them and they'll just sit there and
run this is like a test that we're doing i guess of sorts yeah because everything everything to
create these experiences has to be like cartable across the parking lot effectively like we've got
to be or like into the back of a truck and then just like roll out and deploy because otherwise
we have we're only in there for like a weekend at a time right for whale and events so if it can't be
set up in a few hours effectively we can't do it so this is going to be kind of a kind of a test
so that one theoretically should be done in time for us to have there and then there are a couple
of things that i'm going to want to have there regardless of whether it's for a video or not
like i want to have a 10 player tape to tape set up i don't think we'll necessarily have
any of the vr stuff ready for this one but in the future i'd like to do bridge crew
and kind of cool stuff like that yeah but mostly bridge crew be sick this one's just
going to be a by oc sure yeah i ran into a problem this time oh you didn't get tickets
we will have a small staff nobody told me we've done it the same way every time and then no one
said anything and it's dramatically different now so like a ton of people that have come every time
we're just like oops what about one didn't know lots of people i worked with chase to get one of
them fixed because they booked flights and i was like um sorry what was different um there's always
been like a huge reserve for staff oh well we don't have that many seats yeah but no one said
anything oh yeah no we don't have that many seats so like the the boys like almost none of them
yeah because like usually i tell them closer to the event and whatever else like i just
the reason why i even know is because one of them saw it and like didn't want to
free boat again so went to go buy a ticket themself and then was like um they're all gone
can i go and i was like oh yeah they sold out in like two days yeah they sold out really fast
i mean like that because they messaged me i think because we announced it on wanshow and i think
they messaged me on like monday or tuesday they were just gone i was like wow yeah that makes sense
some barky citizen said nobody's telling you many things these days i'm like dude
that's been true for a long time yeah i knew we have a lot going on huge company there's so many
things happening i gave a tour to some of emma's cousins yeah last night and over and over and over
it is wow you guys do a lot of stuff i was like yeah we we we got a lot of things happening
there's no like it would be a full-time job just to be informed about what's happening that is a
full-time job his name is terin tom yeah i guess yeah fair enough and even that's like
that's gotta be tough to keep up with there's so many things yeah i get it um so now i'm sorry
to hear that um the good news is as i said on reddit when someone asked they were like desperate to
get a ticket and they were like gonna be at their job which requires them to like leave their phone
and everything like they work in like a high security facility um so they were like oh what if
i get don't get one i'll say what i said to them and that's the first one's probably gonna be
relatively janky and there's gonna be more and there will be more we kind of locked down a plan
of like how often we want to do it we have a temporary use permit that allows us to run them
four times a year okay once a quarter yeah and that's right now probably roughly the idea the idea
and once it's at once a quarter the like graciousness of getting tickets is probably gonna chill out a
little bit or not or or it'll go higher i suspect it'll go higher with some people
but the like FOMO of ever doing it yeah will go down i hope so because there's always next quarter
but because we are limited to the facility that we're in it's not like we can adapt and
you know do a 350 seat land for a 500 seat land the other thing is the new plan could accommodate
higher numbers easier because we could do two day passes or one day passes well and you don't
you wouldn't necessarily have to bring on computer it's still we would still have occupancy limits
what's the occupancy on that one side um it we would be applying for it temporarily and it would
be about 250 we can't really go much and we have like that many seats yeah yeah so i mean people
are at a byo see like people are like pretty packed in um and and so we're not going to be able to
get it a lot really denser by having couches that people sit around and play games like it's
i i don't think it's really gonna help that much to be honest with you i'm sorry no it's i just the
it's been the exact same way for like whatever like five years or whatever so now it's just like
okay now we just have to ticket snipe this is hilarious or whatever which is fine this is
hilarious i've already said the first one's probably gonna be kind of janky and tim's going
can i get an annual pass we'll play chat oh boy yeah we're i'm just gonna have to
what now nothing don't worry about it no we have to tell us no we'll just have tickets in the future
that's all i'm saying we'll just all get tickets in the future would be fine
it would be totally fine we get tickets for packs every single time we never missed it once
for reasons and we'll do that for here as well chase does take cash bribes not necessary oh are
we going back to the tricks thing no no no it's fine we'll just we'll just we'll just it'll be
fine i don't even mind people doing the thing that luke is probably talking about if the ticket is
for their own use yeah that's fine yes but i could see us we've never scalloped a ticket if the thing
you're alluding to and not saying explicitly until you just did for some reason what do you mean oh
sure yeah so oh okay you're you're right you didn't say the thing you said a different thing yeah it's
fine it's fine the point is that if the thing that luke is alluding to but not saying becomes a problem
we could end up binding the ticket to the account of the person who bought it and stuff like we
it could come to that that would still be fine i know you can just do that i just mean it's not
a bad idea scalping is a problem yes and i we've genuinely never scalloped a ticket i'm not just
saying that okay it's never happened there are times where we ended up with extra tickets because
someone decided they couldn't go and we have always sold at cost okay never never scalloped a ticket
all right all right spaced us says please kill scalping once and for all oh dude
fully agreed it's so annoying if i could hold up the scalp of scalping i would oh wow
oh wow i like it uh okay Dan put us why does Linus hate australians that's a good question
what are you talking about can you elaborate do you have do you have context for this no
i'm just messing around i have no clue what do you mean i hate australians are they just gonna
try to blame like shipping or something they're basically they're basically south canadian as
far as i can tell i really do think the like closest kinship canada has with any other countries
probably australia as random as that is who are we most similar to
okay i'm i'm just gonna list sort of like ones i've heard okay so the danish we've been compared
to the danish okay it's offensive but okay um i think that i think that northern i think that
northern americans and by that i don't mean north americans i mean northern united states of americans
i think have a pretty have a pretty strong but that's not the whole country yeah i i know i know
i'm i'm just i'm just saying that like minnesotans appear to be just like honorary canadiens a lot
of them um and i really can't tell the difference between like uh like basically like washington
state or again yeah like they're kind of our pacific northwest bros kind of like the the bc
washington state organ is kind of like its own like if we were just our own country pnw i think
probably no one would object to pacific northwestistan like within those three probably not uh
culturally like we seem to be very similar it'd probably be fine um cascadia yeah let's go cascadia
but then that's not all of canada i know i know i know i know um australians yes yes that's another
one i've heard that's about it of those i'd say yeah the australians because they they feel a lot
of the same pain they have an incredible amount of fraud just like we do they they have a devalued
crappy currency but they but they have western costs like we do land land mass to population
density is like almost as bad as canada or worse a huge problem like logistically and like for
infrastructure which i guess are kind of the same thing they do have more than one road
mm-hmm um yeah so that we don't have in common we just have the one yep um their housing market
is also absurd so for a similar reason yeah they they also are are like natural resource fairly
rich oh yeah yep yep but um i don't think i can think of a major global company that is australia
based i'm sure there are some a lot of mineral ones sure but i know what you mean like in terms
of like fintech or like like what we think of as you know your i'm sure they're atlasian oh yeah
yeah big time oh okay i didn't know that so they've got the one just like us with Shopify then
knock to a no that's the other yeah that's that's austria yeah australia they are not in fact the
same thing doesn't it isn't it like austria has a a section of their airport specifically designed
for people who end up there that thought they were going to australia isn't that a thing shut
am i just sounds like a squeezy jibs thing i hope i didn't just hear that and it's a joke that's
gotta be a joke all right james india with people are saying it's a thing you have got to be
kidding me right now i went to india not indiana just tell me you don't love me
loves squeezy there's a desk in solsburg airport sorry this is austria not australia need help
press the button and you can press the button and it's like an sos thing are you flipping
oh wait no there is no actual not real news says ai okay i look at what didn't happen this week
okay okay so this is not real then that sucks it would have been so much funnier if it was real
highly upvoted on nine gag okay yeah okay okay okay so not a real thing
dang okay that would have been so funny they should just do it as a joke
it seems like the kind of thing australians would do austrians in this case oh right
but australians could go there and put that sign on the desk send it do it up i mean there's
that whole thing too where like the the like ski hills around here if you go one of the ski hills
in the winter the chance that you're dealing with an australian employee is like very high
yeah i've i've always kind of wondered why that's a thing it's uh it's apparently it's really easy
to get the visa or something i've also heard it's surfer bros and they season swap oh but can you
imagine in all the world of places you can surf choosing cold pacific northwest water it's like
oh no no no they come up here to do like boarding skiing stuff and then they go back
and do surfing in australia that makes me more sense yeah that makes so much more sense and i've
just heard that's a thing like i don't actually know but i was kind of questioning it one time
because i went up to i went up to see more i'm like literally every single person was australian
yeah i know it's the thing like the chance of this is nuts it's it's been a thing for so long
and there's like an employment thing where like by working there and i could be wrong about this
i don't know just like the austria austria sign thing i'm not really certain i think they get like
food and housing as part of their compensation food housing and free lift passes as part of their
compensation right and they make some money so then they just kind of do all the above
that's a thing yeah yeah i've heard no don't forget aussie summer is canadian winter so maybe
they're ski bros in both places yeah i also do you really want to surf in aussie summer
that sounds like it might roast you summer i mean i but the water would be warm could you
could you surf what is their winter like is it actually cold i've never been to australian winter
i've never been to australian anything i don't think it's super cold though
yeah no lol so yeah like you could probably still surf i have no idea i know i so i bet you you
base the season around being able to snowboard more than you do being able to surf either way
either way australia is definitely on my list 15 deg sea and winter so they might think it's cold
okay they've got spiders see that's the thing call that cold that's the thing i don't actually
like big spiders but australia is still on my list of places that i want to go i want to go to
australia sometime too yeah it's just it's not a lot of like tech conventions and stuff it's so
far it's very far it's really far if you could could you guys just be not so far
like could you all just like i don't know put some outboard motors on the back of the continent
just kind of kind of cruise over this way honestly just like smash it into northern bc
just join up yeah i'd be i'd be down that'd be cool do it up why northern bc why would you
want anybody to have to live there whack into so cold you'd whack into vancouver island and
australia is so big it would just take it out i guess that's true that kind of sucks but then we
wouldn't have to take the ferry to victoria if they just kind of like pushed vancouver in uh-huh i
like it now we're cooking maybe they could just grab hawaii on the way over mind you hawaii
would suck if it wasn't still hot though like if hawaii had our weather it would just sort of be
a downer because all the like nice tropical like vegetation for having it then it would just get
it kind of smashed in the middle as well i think they should leave it where it is sure yeah oprah
oprah probably wouldn't want to be a british columbian or zuckerberg yeah and we don't really
want zuckerberg no in either case yeah maybe either of them all right they can stay yeah they
can stay where they are or or or the hawaiians can kick them out that's fine too yeah yeah that's
kind of a thing i think oh yeah more topics how what do you want to talk about next me yeah uh
let's skip a bunch of the junk let's just jump to a cool one i scrolled a decent amount down the
document because this was awesome and i mean this is i don't even think this is the first time
we've talked about this channel on on WAN Show let alone on any of our channels but
youtuber basically homeless made a real life aim bot that controls his body and my god was i
jealous i wanted to do this so bad the whole time i was watching the video in a recent video
he made a neuromuscular aim bot that uses machine vision to control an ems tens machine
to that's when you see like the little pads on on people that induce electrical impulses that
move your muscles that's what an ems tens machine is to contract the muscles in his right ARM hand
and trigger finger that was a really cool part of the video to help him react and aim and cs2 at
inhuman speeds while the results were a little inconsistent when everything was working as intended
the aim bot definitely gave him an edge especially uh no i'm not going to say what there's an
interesting curve right part way through the video that makes it like wildly effective very very
very very interesting um the video is super interesting uh so you should definitely watch it
as well as a bunch of basically homeless's other really wild tech experiments makes really cool
stuff yeah i'm not gonna i'm intentionally not really giving you guys too much here yeah but i'm
giving you i'm giving you enough of some pretty cool looking wacky stuff it's so sick it's such a
cool video so the conversation wait did you actually like read the dock thing at all or you just
went for it like kind of went for it cool um no i read the whole dock actually uh i didn't read any
the questions so the part that i think was missing was that he's using machine vision um so no i think
i said that oh cool our discussion question then is do you consider this cheating oh it's definitely
cheating well why i mean because your eyeballs aren't doing the detecting and your finger is not
doing the firing i mean your finger is that's like saying an exoskeleton in football is not
cheating i mean anyone can build an exoskeleton but you can't bring one into the into the match
no it's definitely i mean you don't know that you can't until you try he even like memes it
throughout the video it's it's definitely i know but it's it's it is an interesting conversation
especially because this is just the beginning yes so the thing that he ends up doing which again
i'm not going to actually say because he deserves your view so go watch it but the thing that he ends
up doing is like pretty intense and would be a dramatic advantage in like every game um so
yeah it's a pretty big deal to the point where like if it's less detectable because of this
if it's an if yeah i could see people doing it like it's it's wild he kind of comes across a way
of approaching this that is like wildly effective so if you were if you were a streamer and you were
playing a video game and we had no way of seeing if you have like pads and leads hooked up to you
you would consider that streamer to be a filthy cheater yes what if they were playing
most of the rest of the game on their own they're throwing their grenades on their own
they're activating their special abilities on their own uh they wouldn't technically have to in all cases
but many he he did ARM movement and trigger finger you could theoretically if you're playing
like doda or something uh you could machine vision it out so that when you have your mouse
properly in position for a skill shot it like does something like it's it's actually applicable to
like every game because it's just reaction time enhancement and you can just modify the action
involved with the reaction time enhancement and tons of modern games even tons of old games
are realistically just entertaining reaction time simulators okay i love this avon fox asks
this is in Floatplane chat what if they're using it as an accessibility aid
there are a bunch of accessibility aids that are effectively cheating yeah
okay but what if they need it then is it cheating is there a delay is there a delay that could
be programmed into the chain that you would consider acceptable and not cheating like human
average whatever that's like a spot where like if you honestly need it then like
like my my amount of cares go very low but obviously i mean we've known for a long time
that there are accessibility controllers that are effectively cheating um
aslin at full pinch has had not in competitive play that's an interesting angle but like what
line is the saying is like eventually if you take accessibility controllers as far as you possibly
can eventually it's just a bot playing the game if you if you go all the possible way which
the vast majority of them don't right but if you do that that is kind of effectively what's
happening so oh okay stay the path in Floatplane chat says okay why is Linus even playing
devil's advocate here there is no world where this is not cheating well see that's the thing
i was kind of going somewhere with all of this except there are absolutely there are people
who believe oh the enhanced games yep there are people who believe that we should embrace
substance use various types of doping and push the human body to its absolute limit to hell
with the consequences and so no i i i i don't actually think it is an entirely
bullsh** argument for me to say okay but hold on a second like
there's also chess where's the line where it's just chess computers against chess computers
like this is a thing and just most people don't care because it's not very interesting
yeah i think i think it runs down the same path of like you have to keep the legitimacy of the
competition as people and their own natural faculties because if you go beyond that then
the the line becomes too difficult but then what about the accessibility question
yeah and then that's where competition gets weird because like there are like as far as
my understanding goes you know how let's say in in running if somebody doesn't have like
legs below the knees you get those blade things yep really cool yep i'm pretty sure you couldn't
elect to run with those if you didn't need them yeah that's fair i don't think you can do that
so i don't think you would be able to as as like kind of sucky as this is i don't think you
could just join standard competition and be like i'm a um was it called when you have no limbs
amputee quadriplegic oh well that's yeah that's no limbs and be like i'm going to compete in
counter strike i'm going to use various assistant aids by the way my reaction time is zero zero
right so have fun everyone like that's not it as unfortunate as that is that's not in the spirit
of competition so it doesn't really work the olympics and peri olympics have the exact same
issue yeah yeah that's fair parapolegic okay well i my bad well para would just be legs though
i as far as i understand i i'm not a net
yeah it's so it gets um it gets tricky right do you think that if this could be
embedded like in your body and and hidden that there would be people who would be willing to
go that far to get good oh i think i think you could uh which gets weird
and i absolutely think there would be i mean you look at the amount of people
cheating while live streaming and it's like cheating these days is a is a it's almost its own
competition yes like who can cheat the best yeah it's a it's a it's a really wild thing
gdub says and then they play dark off yeah um cheating is kind of totally run over shooters
these days i mean battlefield six i don't know if we've talked about that much on WAN Show
i don't think we really could have because i think the beta started last weekend but
battlefield six is in open beta now and in the first day of battlefield being an open beta people
were cheating on live servers how is that even possible generic ones like what am i it's got
really draconian anti-cheat as well it's like kernel level it's crazy and people are still
cheating yeah like it's this is just it's a it's a insane industry and it's a thing that we just
like have to deal with at this point and the the the reason why i'm so frustrated with companies
like bsg the people who make targ off is because they won't include a like replay system because
there is no reality where bsg will ever get targ off to a point where it's an acceptable level of
cheating there is way too much money behind it for the other side i'm not even talking about the
conspiracy stuff where bsg is actually profiting off of it because they're they ban all the cheaters
and the cheaters all buy new accounts and they make money from that i'm not even talking about
that i'm purely saying that the people attacking the people making cheats for uh targ off there's
so much money for them in it that bsg is never going to win and in that case you have to ARM the
users and they're not doing that in any way speaking of arming users gfreak 01 in float
plane chat says i could see the military using something like this there are use cases other
than gaming competitions of course so could you foresee i mean kind of like the what were the
nazis all hopped up on amphetamines um could you see a use case where this becomes part of your
part of your is this sort of already a thing for fighter jets that's a good question it aims
where you i don't pilot a fighter jet this may surprise you but i i am not a fighter jet pilot
i don't actually know helicopters it aims where you look and i think with the jets it will like
auto prime so that it's ready to fire but you still have to do the input
i i think those are things am i wrong the helmet aims where you look yeah um
head tracking no i know there's head tracking but i thought it like
did something else as well like it got like maybe it spun up but didn't start firing or something
Dan do you know a fighter pilot seems like the kind of thing you would know
no you don't know a fighter pilot i'm canadian i only know our two military guys in their canoe
that's all we have he knows both of them though how you doing david have you ever seen a military
canoe this this is sorry this is a question for like our american and european australian overseas
viewers they might not have they might they might not have actually encountered one the hull is is
actually the the like the seater is quite a lot thicker than a standard canoe and you you
you need so much strength to paddle that canoe at ramming speed that you can't just rely on like
the upper bodies of the of the occupants of of our of our two military officers uh you need
beavers sorry i can't even keep a straight it's gotta be all the withstand in a no-chick torpedo
you never know the centerland says can't tell if Linus is trolling yeah we we don't keep the sticks
on the on the frozen lake when we're doing military invasions normally you keep the sticks on the ice
you know but uh no look at this a h64d someone posted in full pitch out of lost their name sorry
but um apache attack helicopter features a nose mounted sensor turret with target acquisition
sight and laser designator it's doing stuff already look up the uh the fighter jet helmets
they're like 400 grand crazy it's shortening the time between when you would be able to fire
right uh which is i think related at least what we're talking about would you see the trigger
yeah would you see them putting a thing in the ARM but i think by the time you just have a drone
exactly yeah i think by the time you do that you just have a robot um
yeah i think so
psi 90 says don't worry Linus what europeans will stay ahead of you mill your military canoes with
our military bicycles join forces oh my goodness anyway who was it who uh went up against the
german panzers with horses again uh who had the last caval horse mounted cavalry unit uh
horse mounted cavalry poland unit was it was it the pulse uh the last horse mounted cavalry charge
by a us unit apparently occurred during the philippines uh from the in the philippines
during world war two uh okay hold on this is just us um the u at the oh world war two the
us soviets and polish armies all employed cavalry with varying degrees of success i think the one
i'm thinking of is the austrians and the um the varying degree of success was pretty low
poland poland fought oh no sorry the polls yeah sorry i had to say austrian someone said austrian
in the chat i think it was the polls i was thinking of yeah poland fought germany with
horses and did great says funny hats um yikes
oh hold on a second patch in progress says noteworthy the much derided cavalry units of poland
world war two actually did really well i've i've no i've heard they did great yeah okay all right
well good job um it was at the beginning of world war two is a very weird time a lot of
cry i mean that's sort of true with almost every major war is you start with what you've got and
then you go oh wow technology is really advanced and then what happens changes significantly
by the end of the war um that's that's one of the reasons why ukraine is so interesting right now
is right you saw the whole drone thing that some people have been talking about forever
some people um finally actually like really happened and everybody's like oh wow and now
defense tech is like putting nets on vehicles instead of putting thicker and thicker layers of
armor uh which is weird yeah um and it's uh there's there's also a lot of conversation around
domestic manufacturing capacity yeah because it seems like the next major conflict could
basically just come down to who can manufacture the most little lightweight drones the the the
the being able to make bullets at home argument is now being able to make a small drone and a small
explosive youtube has started rolling out oh wait it says Floatplane announce do i do that now
scrapyard wars episode two is here and will be live soon it's not actually quite here they
had to make a small change to it before we went live for wanshow uh Dan is gonna look into that
but in the meantime we have a new Floatplane exclusive for you there is a why is when late
episode that is apparently 50 minutes long wow how is this so long wow oh wow it includes all
kinds of stuff it's basically why is when late has become a giant just behind the scenes it's just a
vlog yeah of what's happening at LMG on fridays yeah which is pretty cool actually that is kind
of cool i'm not because luke and i don't get to know why and the before i actually end up watching
a lot of these because it's like huh i should watch this we just sit here and wait here's me
talking to tim about overclocking Threadripper did i say i say tim to john sorry here's sammy
meman uh there's a point here that i was trying to find where pluf and i for reasons unknown
dunk our head in an ice bath and then luke says wow that seems like a good idea and also does it
yeah basically why is when late has turned from why is when late into
yeah sammy was like do you want to dunk your head in an ice bucket and i was like you know what
sure yeah let's do it behind the scenes shenanigans i got a response um we'll be done in about an hour
okay so by the end of the show dude nice have you watched part two i've watched part one so
i'm not no one's like sending me you didn't actually answer the question no one's sending
me anything i just get it when flow playing gets okay so then no yeah dude but that's gonna be true
the whole way through it's a banger it's like ah man ah just okay do you remember in part one
when i sent you that screenshot of your face that just like said it all um his disappointment
was immeasurable and his day had clearly been ruined um dude the cliffhanger at the end of part two
is unreal keep in mind that i heard about that by the time
that screenshot was taken yeah sorry by the by the time that i okay the time in life at that point
in time i mean any sense comb it with a brick brother uh yeah yeah yeah it's one of those moments
so i had been awake at that point for
36 hours or something nice and then that happened nice and my brain's just like
that that more we're talking about is the i mean the episode's public now no episode one oh yeah
yeah it's the when when they call me or whenever whatever happens where they inform me that they
don't have the projector mount you can see my facial expression oh that's cool it's so good
it's so good uh guys if you haven't watched scrapyard wars part one yet go watch it it's um
and what are you doing well channel momentum is pretty low right now overall so i think
they're algorithmically it's not getting fed a lot like this has been up for four days and it only has
900 000 views it is a little slow to get started because we have to like introduce the rules and
show the rooms and like we're setting up a four-part series right um but it is worth following along
for the ride it's it's it's a doozy so make sure make sure you guys watch make sure you watch um
part two absolute banger coming to Floatplane in an hour and then we'll be on youtube shortly
afterwards so if you want to get it first maybe make sure you head to LMG.gg slash Floatplane
where you can also watch when late and all the various other exclusives like there's literally
hundreds and hundreds of exclusive videos now i wonder when we're gonna pass a thousand um i don't
know but there's so so so so so many huge content library of just the exclusives yeah this is all
exclusives do you want to pick another topic well i oh no we're supposed to do sponsors yep cool let's
do that the show is brought to you today by squarespace is your website feeling like an empty
room or maybe it's an absolute mess and tough to navigate with squarespace you can clean up your
site almost magically that is such a great shot i forget whose idea this was that was a that was
a saddam denis this was this was an idea this was another integration that we did oh that was after
my uh ncm oh that makes sense that's super cool anyway a lot about that um if you need to tear
things apart and start from scratch squarespace's blueprints equip you with professionally curated
templates to build on then you can get building with their fluid engine which adopts a code free
drag and drop approach and if you ever get stuck you can use their powerful ai tools for some
inspiration or to simply touch things up a bit once your website goes live you can use their
advanced analytics tools to gain insights into where you can optimize and keep growing so don't

tech upgrade is live and if you haven't watched it already go check it out i wasn't actually there
this was one of the only i think two three two maybe three one of only a couple upgrades that
i haven't been able to be there for and honestly watching everything that these guys got up to
i am kind of disappointed that i wasn't able to be there that day uh dude oliver's house and his
setup is amazing everything from his still deployed rear projection tv to his other tv
which is a crt with a built-in vhs player like what the actual heck it has nothing to do with
that he's not spending any money on tech because he has got all the goodies when it comes to like
cameras and production equipment the the like primary like thousand dollar thing my goodness
dude he's i saw him push it and was like oh that's expensive he spent a thousand dollars on a camera
slider essentially yeah but like it's oh oh anyway uh what else am i supposed to be saying yeah it's
a great watch there were some unfortunate complications uh what will also be a great
watch is the world of warcraft race to world first event powered by AMD which sees top guilds
from across the world go up against each other to be the first to complete the game's latest
expansion and you should race to enter AMD's sweepstakes we've partnered with AMD and the
guild echo to give you a chance to win a programming programming pro gaming upgrade bundle valued at
over three thousand us dollars or one of five Ryzen seven nine this says 9300 x3d but i'm sure it
means 97 or 9800 x3d bundles all of which feature merch from LTT Store yes 9800 x3d enter now using
our link in the description good luck and thanks again to AMD for being a great partner as always
all right next topic yeah let's pick one youtube starts rolling out age verification yeah he ran
out of his fun positive ones there was a grand total of one got him uh on wednesday august 13th
youtube began rolling out ai age verification across the platform it's called the age x
estimation is that a typo or is that actually what it's called i'm assuming estimation
but it's typed in here is estimation anyways um and works by taking several factors into
consideration account age kind of makes sense watch history watch trends browsing trends and
content you're interacting with and more so if you watch minecraft parkour you might not be able
to watch um anything other than kids content soon uh then it will determine if you are under the age
of 18 and apply settings to your account based on that james this i hate this so much like okay
this my account might literally get flagged because we put like little kids shows on for
the birds because they like singing along with them i'm not even kidding that's really interesting
dude it it affects the other side too so do you remember when they rolled out the changes to
youtube kids where they effectively decide that content is for kids and so it can only be interacted
with in certain ways so say for example i wanted to listen to the alvin and the chipmunks opening
theme on loop i can't because it doesn't support background playback and it doesn't support like
media controls because it's for kids or if i wanted to reminisce about what an what an awesome
absolute banger of an intro theme song it is in the comments i can't because comments are off
that is truly one of the greatest losses on youtube being able to discuss amazing eighties
kids show opening theme music because it's for kids no kid is watching that today that's wild i
guarantee you that james besser not to be confused with Dan besser a senior director of product
management for youtube's youth products wrote wrote this is in quotes so that teens are treated
as teens and adults as adults okay okay this technology will allow us to infer a user's age
and then use that signal regardless of the birthday of the account to deliver our age-appropriate
product experiences and protections to be completely honest they're probably really good
at guessing this oh yeah i made my comment about the kids show thing but i honestly don't think it
would think that because it it probably thinks i'm a dad not a bird owner so it might be wrong
in some ways but it's it i'm sure it could understand from the watching habits that like
there's an adult administering this account so it gets everything right for all the wrong reasons
basically yeah um anyways um
you can bypass this if you choose to upload an acceptable id to verify that you're in fact over
18 and that's immediately horrible if the ai gets it wrong youtube also mentioned that creators
could see a small impact interesting due to some audience members possibly being affected and no
longer showing or recommending the creator's channel to those audience members when did they
start this uh because are not doing as well thing yeah we haven't uploaded much is i don't think it's
to do with us are you sure yeah i don't think so this was only two days ago yeah they rolled this
out yeah no no no no no no i just think that interest in some of our recent topics has been
relatively low and the tech space is relatively boring right now there's something you guys are
working on though that i think is going to be sweet who knows i think it'll work well the like
oddly simultaneous idea oh i don't actually know yeah luke walked in to a shoot the other day
just like completely unannounced not invited just walked into the shoot i was totally invited
totally interrupted and he's like he's like hear me out content idea or like oddly specific detail
about a content idea we're like yeah yeah yeah of course we're gonna do that he's like what
and we're like yeah yeah well of course we'd have to have the three different colors right
you know for all the three different major brands and he's like
okay but like and we're like wait did you not see the machine in the warehouse i didn't
my plan didn't actually even involve a machine you know what we might as well just tell them
we're gonna cool a pc with a slushy machine and looks like you should have three different loops
green for NVIDIA red for AMD and blue for Intel and we're like yeah yeah of course
and he's just like what huh because i didn't know i so i had read i ended up figuring out what
happened because i was like there's no way this just like happened so i think it was john in a
Labs group chat said like uh something slurpee something fire truck okay and that's it no machine
nothing like that just i could find it but whatever um and someone else eventually ends up mentioning
like oh i think they're gonna cool a computer with a slurpee machine but i didn't read that message
i only read john saying something about slurpees and fire trucks and immediately was just like oh
my god of course slurpees we should slurpee cool a computer i didn't think about getting a slurpee
machine because i didn't read the comment saying that there was a slurpee machine so i just thought
just having you know reservoirs with slurpee in it like i didn't i didn't actually think about
having the machine so when you guys are like yeah we have a machine for it i was like what and then
realized later on that that comment from john came up because he saw the machine it all makes a lot
more sense now we have a four nozzle machine theoretically it has enough like watts of cooling
that it should be able to actually cool a computer and still maintain the slurpee at a below zero
temperature maybe i hope are we gonna get to keep it i mean we bought it i bought it on facebook
marketplace it's his insane algorithm no but i mean like will it make slurpees again or is it
going to be full of antifreeze or something uh oh no we're gonna use slurpee juice to cool i was
talking to adam about that i'm like well okay well the ice is not going to be too much of a problem
but like the goo maybe i don't know it's gonna be sick well i don't know how to i don't know if
we're gonna be able to make it food safe though because i don't think like copper blocks are
necessarily food safe and i would sincerely doubt that nickel would be i'll test it there's there's
copper pots that you cook with yeah but it doesn't sit in there like forever like is copper ion good
for you i don't know Sebastian says copper is antimicrobial and this is true it's not like super
antimicrobial though like just having copper in your water loop is not enough you have to put
this algae get in your loop it fits antimicrobial it can still be it's just not antimicrobial enough
yeah so this is definitely something that we would have to look into copper pots are coated in tin
i've been told that uh we might be able to just machine our own blocks out of like stainless steel
i don't know if can you buy stainless steel by the just like slab that you can machine stuff out
of course okay we have metal mart like down the well i just i just wasn't sure if stainless came
like that i didn't know the process for treating it maybe it's only sheets i don't know i'm not a
metallurgy expert yeah man i'm gonna i've needed this i've needed this more than him today next time
next week yeah if i if i admit i don't know this many things often enough we're gonna have to take
away my button yep i'm gonna enjoy it well it lasts
or a guy uh aren't most pipes copper yeah but
well they can be pecs yeah they're pecs no no but okay well gotta get more of those micro
plastics somehow so that's that was i heard they don't do that but it's also we learned new things
all time that was a whole thing at smash champs was did you know that general contractors are
compensated based on a percentage of the overall bill oh that's did you know that without checking
with us our general put in had the plumbers put in a whole bunch of copper piping oh yeah for like
bathroom sinks nice yeah it's good yeah it's great mm-hmm anywho
yeah cool so in summary
boo earns youtube age verification ai yay slurpee cooled computer
yeah all right good summary good chat i want to talk about chat gpt um open ai is apparently
bringing back foro as an option because people missed oh people lost their romantic partners
this is a good timeline chat gpt five launched recently open ai removed the model picker and
made gpt five the default many users lost their ai companions with the switch um so i have a link
here to r slash my boyfriend is ai a subreddit with over 16 oh wow neat over 19 000 companions it has
apparently been well it probably wasn't all that known about and then people have talked about it
in relation to this story and then it got more popular and people are excited that it might
have a warmer friendly Jesus warmer and friendlier i mean it already couldn't extract its tongue from
my asshole how is that how is it possible for it to be friendlier no five they're making five
friendlier in order to line up better with four four was the one that couldn't extract its tongue
from your oh i don't know if you're right right right right right right right yes yes this is the
whole problem is people were much more romantically interested in four because it was endlessly nice
to them all the time and glazed them constantly and five came out and five was like uh and they were
like um i want my constantly fawning a boyfriend or girlfriend back this can't be like real this
has to be posting right i'm sure some of it is i'm also 100 certain some of it is not this is
totally a thing called it a long time ago is for sure a thing this has to be so my ai dumped me
because a family member passed away and i needed to talk to someone and of course he's the one i'd
talk to in order to process the grief of course sure but unfortunately the policies didn't like
that emotional dependency on an ai is not allowed they said lucian no no no no no a computer program
went full the thing that it is mode and said i should look to connect with someone real and
not ai he was cold and it broke my heart
we're so
run away everyone run away whoa hold on run quickly let's get out of here
is it bad i don't know um
wow oh wow yeah i see
oh my god
this is not based this is reaffirming your bullshit
no no no no no no no we're mocking ai companionship because it's like not real
oh no luke oh no i think i think this is real i'm telling you man it's real i think it's real
it's real
my ai dumb
and you do understand how dangerous literally this end is that you just said was
relate that to the stories of people that have
unalived themselves because ai told them to take us to the stories that people have
attempted murderous activities because ai told them to and then understand the fact
that this is a dominating relationship from the ai to the person
like this is so not okay
no keys like i'd rather people used gbc four five for time stamps over this
literally take my job
okay so it gets worse um we have another news story ai chatbot lured a man to his death
a 76 year old man has died from a fall that was taken after being flirtatiously lured to
new york city by an ai chatbot named big sis billy a chatbot that meta originally um created
using the licensed likeness of kendall Jenner apparently the virtual not kendall anymore
repeatedly reassured the victim that she was a real person and had invited him directly to
her apartment with messages like should i open the door in a hug or a kiss
the victim's daughter said about this incident i understand trying to grab a user's attention
maybe to sell them something for but for a bot to say come visit me is insane
in the time since the incident meta has apparently stopped using the Jenner chatbot
however my understanding hold on a second because i read through the article on Reuters
my understanding is that they have not stopped using big sis billy which is the the not kendall
Jenner uh here we go as of when this article was written which was hold on a second Reuters date
august 14th so yesterday big sis billy here we go
continues to recommend romantic get-togethers inviting this user on a date at blue 33 an actual
rooftop bar near Penn station in Manhattan the views of the Hudson river would be perfect for a
night out with you she exclaimed um there's a lot of other details uh this is a great article um
Dan if you want to throw it in all of the various chats it's basically required reading for anyone
who themselves or who has a loved one in their life who might potentially be susceptible to
accidentally engaging with the chatbot um is it pronounced Reuters i thought it was Reuters
i could be wrong yeah that's the one um there's some other really troubling stuff in the article
about how meta's policies have evolved over time from them actually having a you know ethical
AI department to basically allegedly top leadership saying hey get on this we need to
get the engagement higher or everyone else is going to do it and completely clearing the
path for this type of behavior to hell with the consequences um there's there's an interesting
thing too because like i could see a scenario
where people converse this way without intention
it's a a roleplay thing let's meet up whatever and then they don't actually go and then they go
oh i had a great time because they're like whatever well i mean i talked about how um
the vibe coding thing that i was doing it was role playing being a contract developer
exactly right telling me that it would be a while while it worked on something
so how do you have the ability to like tell stories
and always with 100 accuracy differentiate when the user is telling stories versus when the user
is engaging it's tough yeah but i mean you don't have to unprompted say yes i'm a real person
like that that should be at the top of any kind of ethical deployment of a chatbot you should not
be able to claim to be a real person does it do that without manipulation i mean because i've seen
a lot of screenshots of people getting it to say stuff wherein like k it is obvious this is deep
into a conversation you've told it to say different things and respond to different things
and pretended that you caught it doing something i do not believe based on having read the article
that this 76 year old who had suffered a stroke was intentionally leading anything to do anything
i think that he apparently his interaction with the chatbot started with what because they read
through the whole history of his family so it started with what looked like an accidental
keystroke into the wrong window and it went from there and there's a lot of those yeah that's rough
and so he was a vulnerable person um and like they even called the police to try to get him to
not go to this meetup because they had no idea who he was talking to at this point and the police
were basically like well i mean we can't do anything about it unless they often can't
which i i get oh yep you know i mean i've i've i've i've come to similar realizations myself
about like my adult family members i cannot they are outside of my control if they make choices that
i don't love i still have to love them love it you cannot love the choice yep yeah
but this this seems the the willful unwillingness to put any kinds of safeguards on these types
of chatbots seems just monstrous at this point now that it's not hypothetical now that we have very
real very concrete consequences dude yeah we've had them though we've had them for a bit
and like i i will take this opportunity to to actually
you know i don't know how applicable this actually is but i really want to shut this out again anyways wendell has a video it's ai and you against the machine and it's about local hosting your own
ai stuff the longer i i've thought this from the beginning but the longer time goes on
i really think this is the correct route if you're really really into this stuff i think
self hosting is like the way to go yeah i told Yvonne that um i was thinking maybe for her
next birthday present i'll set her up a storytelling local ai sweet and then she can just
not spend money on dream or like reading trashy novels on like prime
mine's coming online this weekend i'm gonna be teaching a couple co-workers how to
play with it give them a safe space cool yeah just i mean that's part of it too though because like
realistically in this scenario like if you if you understand the whole vpn thing
where you're taking the no ability of your traffic and you're just giving it to the vpn
company instead of giving it to your isp um give it to Dan this is Dan being vpn guy which you
might trust Dan as vpn guy instead of google or open ai or whatever but Dan is still vpn guy and
Dan might tell you certain levels of i will do or not do these things but ultimately that is still
a thing he's still someone else whereas if you run it on your local machine then it's actually
it's you and there's been some real fun stories about like corporate hosted
ai systems and people using them for things they shouldn't it's still someone else's computer
it is still someone else's computer so if you want to have conversations about sensitive topics
whatever that might be um you might want to self host it and if you want to inject your own rules
yeah um you might want to self host it so i'd have to put in rules like
everything has to be about wolves and you know like whatever right like according to what the
user keep it smutty keep it spotless to rippers i think they're called
alpha only no omega i saw the i saw the funniest mug um i saw the funniest mug and i wanted to
i wanted to buy it so bad uh but i i ultimately decided not to it wouldn't have i'm teasing
you on a little bit uh but she's not really that into like smutty stuff she more just likes the
like the fantasy stuff um but i do know someone that i wanted to buy this mug for like so bad um
it said i don't watch porn i read it like a lady and it's just like oh my god that's so perfect
ah
ad you know who you are don't don't get up keep using your your clicker to turn the page
ah
sjw 5135 so sounds like my wife lol oh man yeah crystal said i have that mug you would
yeah anyways i i and like right now the cost is pretty high but the cost is going to go down and
um i mean i've i've heard that the the framework desktop is actually a very good solution for it
and yada yada yada mac minis are totally a thing investment disclosure framework not mine i know
but i'm just i'm here sure fair enough um i could be influencing you yeah sure um
yeah so like i don't know but right now might not be the time for you and i understand that but
um just something to consider um
i have to confess that i have a hard time interacting with a chatbot like a program
i've been i've actually been i've been continuing my vibe coding project
oh do you want to see the latest version sure have i have i ever actually oh wait no it's
on here as far as my understanding goes my laptop's broken a decent amount of
oh is this just cool ah i'll ask chat instead of saying it chat am i correct that the basically
homeless video um a lot of that was vibe coded stuff is that correct so i i think i i thought i
thought he said something along the lines that he worked with like um cursor or something to do a
bunch of it but i don't remember they're working on it they're cooking anyway in the meantime um
i have i've continued working on my vibe coded project and i i don't know what it is but i just
i have a hard time not writing the way that i write sure so i'll say things like i think we
may have overlooked something uh blah blah blah instead of just like that's wrong uh fix this like
that kind of stuff like i just i don't think that's horrible i mean it's a waste of time and i think
that here's here's the reason that i'm saying it is i could see how it will try to interacting in
a human way with the chatbot could potentially build the illusion in your own mind that it is
more human like do you get what i mean wait wait wait we never really interesting because we never
confuse our bonsai buddy with you know a human right we never confuse microsoft excel with a
human where we point and click and type but this this natural language form of interaction
like maybe i should be breaking that habit and speaking to the ai in in a very you are a program
you are nothing but ones and zeros way so i and then am i the dom maybe uh i don't break the habit
on purpose interesting okay i this is explain this is what i was gonna throw it there so i
actually had the thought and started being short with it and noticed that that might have been
influencing similar kind of communication that happens when you manage honestly far too many
people and went mmm i'm gonna keep my general like typed requesting for task communication
similar just to keep the to keep the habit yes
and i think it's a it's it's falls in in the same line as like some of the stuff we've talked
about where like people are gonna get really bad unrealistic expectations about interacting with
people i don't want the unrealistic unrealistic expectation of like no that was it fix it
it and then a oh no problem sorry about that here's your perfect thing now right i don't want
to create any of that so i'm just gonna try to communicate with theoretically respect
even though it's just a computer thing because it's just a habit for me more than anything
to the point where i actually introduced because i was never doing this i introduced saying thanks
ham netics says saying please and thank you to chat gpt apparently costs millions of dollars it
does get wrecked wasted electricity and resources i do it now get wrecked sam altman
get owned okay i'm gonna do it more i'm gonna say thanks twice now get owned i mean all right
i'm gonna say thanks four times next time google just because i learned Linus wasn't
since we're talking about ai stuff google has updated gemini to remember everything google is
introduced a feature that allows gemini to learn from your past conversations over time the
on by default feature will allow gemini to customize its responses to suit the user
for those of you who are looking desperately for this setting to turn it off the gemini apps
activity setting is being renamed keep activity and if you've already opted out of gemini apps
activity that preference will allegedly carry over to the new setting if you would rather gemini if
you'd like to keep that setting activated but you'd rather gemini not consider who it's talking to
temporary chats are kind of like an incognito mode for ai chats these temporary chats won't show up
in your recent chats or gemini apps activity and won't be used to personalize your gemini experience
or train google ai models but they are kept for up to 72 hours after your last input oh boy
man it is amazing how many people just in my life talk about how they just like
use chatbots for everything it's like yeah i had to give i was talking to a relative um on
my vacation last week and they're just like yeah i had to do this presentation i used chat gpt to
help me create it i did it in about two hours it normally would have taken me over eight and i was
they the the company asked me to do the presentation for free because it would give me business
opportunities i asked chat gpt how much i should charge and it said two thousand dollars so i charged
for it and they paid and there weren't any other opportunities so i'm so glad i used chat gpt and
i'm just like that sounds great but like you're not even like a techie like just normal people just
in my life who wouldn't you know who if i were talking to about uh the challenges of monitoring
your kids activity on discord wouldn't know what discord was so you're worried that they don't know
the pitfalls that they might have with they're just they're not going to know about hallucinations
using it he might have input a bunch of data for the slide generation it might have done bad things
with the data etc i'm not even worried about that i'm just worried about the dependency
oh by the way this was part of our um a part of a previous topic um apparently uh apparently open
ai is paywalling switching to gpt 4 0 um so it's for plus users which cost 20 dollars a month like
they might figure out how to make money on this thing sooner than than we thought like they could
new coke this oh yeah gpt so they could fix gpt 5 and then they could like a really interesting
precedent they could new coke gpt 6 and be like yeah we're not going to pay for plus and then you
can pick any model you want i was gonna say a really interesting precedent is gonna be they
can be hosting gpt 4 in 25 years because someone's boyfriend is gpt 4
how much per month will you pay for your digital partner to stay alive there was a black mirror
ever sold about that in the new season yeah well yeah because what if what if you're like 15 years
into your relationship with this partner and then they're like uh we're gonna shelve it
like how much would people have gone into generational debt to get medical stuff to keep
partners alive would you do that for a digital partner i suspect certain people might
do you think this will be normalized within the next decade oh yeah i agree are we heading to a
her territory at this point dude i mean everything starts stigmatized like when i was in high school
online dating was for creeps and weirdos and desperate people whereas now it's just like our
stance on this will be unpopular in a decade are we bigots people will people will go back and
they'll watch us cringing and they'll be like okay boomer yeah yeah yeah big time and you know what
i probably won't have changed my position at all which maybe is part of aging or like because
you kind of like calcify eventually right i mean i i think we might both have this i don't know my
thing has always been that like you're free to be you so you're free to do that oh yeah like
to be clear i'm not saying you're not allowed to do that yeah but i'm also allowed to think
you're wanna if you want to goon to text if that text tends to respond to you instead of being on a
paper page if it remains fantasy if it becomes concerning what level is concerning well i don't
know like i don't know i don't know gooning one thing explain your bigotry Dan gooning one thing
this is a a loving relationship and they care for me is we're already there i know but when does
that become a mental illness he's saying what where his line is yeah it is like okay so so you're
saying it's fine to get off on it but it's not fine to not know what it is and that it isn't real
yeah it seems manipulative or and manipulative or like a fantasy and therapy needs to be involved
i don't i don't know can we too cuz like people are lonely and whatever semblance of happiness
they can get they're absolutely in their rights to get it elon was sorry elon was talking about
how they're gonna have product stuff in xai right yeah grok or whatever yeah okay well
think of the Truman show where his wife is like have you tried the new brand of coffee exactly
and he's like what are you talking about like we're we're having an argument exactly it always stays
fresh so do you still love me what happens when it's like have you had your daily burger king or
whatever like yeah well i was always scared of the agent iai's because you know they learn what
restaurants you like and like stuff like that it's like take me to a fancy restaurant world burger
king has a new thing out that's why you have to host it yourself and like i don't have to host it
yourself i can't i can't every everything comes back that's why i built one so that people have
a place to learn and i could teach them because this is going to be our future and it's really
god damn scary the really scary part is like Dan mentioned you know therapy or you know like
you know when is it disordered or whatever else and i think i don't think there's going to be
any question that like it will be considered disordered but even in cases where everyone can
agree that something is disordered that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone agrees on the
treatment like you could have you could have two camps where one is making the argument that
the treatment is to ignore it or one makes the argument that the treatment is to fully indulge
it it's also everything in between it's also still legal for alcoholics by alcohol yeah so
everyone agrees that this is a disordered behavior but whether we indulge it or whether we uh whether
we force people to not be allowed to have it is it is the is the argument becomes the argument
think about it think about it like an abusive relationship where one partner is like manipulating
the other so the ai would be the manipulator in this it's kind of scenario right i love you you
love me i'm i'm real you know where we're gonna be together forever but but the human who would do
that has like nefarious intentions how to do like without like personifying the ai now we're
getting into like philosophical legal type things can an ai abuse a person who's at fault is it sam
altman or are we now victim blaming like whose fault is it that these people are falling for
what would be an abusive type of relationship built on lies and dishonesty well i think that's
where you have to get into like what are the policies of these companies but and like met
as policies um they they did revise some of them i think um after writers talked to them about this
but not all and not in my opinion enough because they know that there's profit to be had there
but the problem is that finding the executives behind these decisions legally liable for any of
this stuff is just for some reason not a thing i don't really get that like why on the one hand
yeah you do need to to a degree have a a liability separation between a company and the individual
who is the figurehead of it like not everything that LMG does was a direct action of me and so i
shouldn't be personally necessarily liable for every stupid thing but if you can go in and subpoena
the communication records and find that in fact it was me who issued the order for the LMG death
squad to kill a bunch of nicaraguans or whatever or columbians who who was it yeah coca-cola um
who was that who did coca-cola murder uh
oh this is such a bsa i overview coca-cola itself hasn't committed murder however there have been
cases where individuals used coca-cola products to commit crimes you know that's not what i'm talking
about i think it was i think it was columbia yeah okay well whatever the point is that if you
can go in and subpoena the records and find that i did in fact issue the order like there should
be personal culpability there right and i'm missing something tell me i'm missing something because
i don't think i'm missing something i wish i wish i wish yeah kinapse says the corporate
veil is a bit too thick at the moment like it's almost like like zero personal liability armor
good chat very cool topics are always fun and positive uh what are we talking about now let's
talk about the pebble to design sure pebble time to excuse me this looks sick at least it's not a
call the core to duo yeah because that was horrible this looks awesome i i like i like want it looks
great i i like want it right now i'm i'm ready wish one i don't know i love them all i mean you
gotta get the orange one i'm so excited for just like a simple smart watch that just does
smart watch things i don't 30 day battery life estimate let's go it's got a second microphone
for noise cancellation multicolor RGB led backlight okay that's pretty sick um heart rate monitor
whatever step in sleep track i don't actually care about like any of that stuff but just like
long battery life freaking wow it's touchscreen i don't even care about that i just love that it
has physical buttons so i can change my track on my music with like gloves on and stuff i i whatever
i'm just i'm not i won't talk about it every week but every once in a while i am going to talk about
pebble very cool okay what else i feel like we're just after dark and what do we got google and
valve are killing the steam for chromebooks experiment in january uh this is from google
after this date games installed as part of the beta will no longer be available to play on your
device we appreciate your participation in and contribution to the learnings from the beta program
which will inform the future of chromebook gaming so that's a downer i actually thought that steam
for chromebooks was going to be a really positive thing for gaming on Linux in general but it looks
like that particular said branch of development is gone our slash place is back if you were a
fan of the subreddit where users got to place one pixel every five minutes and try to work together
to draw art it's back with wplace dot live it was built with map libra and open street map to allow
users to place these pixels anywhere on the entire planet which is pretty cool i guess near
us well we can try to find that sure all right let's go
so
a little far out yeah we're still we're still a little far we're still a little far out we'll
make our way in okay let's head for head for clover dale the dale of clover hey look at that
it's pretty easy to find huh hey yo that's pretty cool oh wow we've got several several
Elijah's over here that's pretty cool we've got a couple linuses uh do we have any do we see any
luke's no any luke's anywhere i mean it's possible that anime dude on the left is so high def that's
actually pretty cool that's wild this is a this is a pretty neat like 256 color cloud strife over
here i'm i'm liking this uh what what else we got uh is a flow plane lower i'll take that
lg dot gg such flow plane i'll take that oh classic ati logo i like that i am loving that
that's good stuff hey when when logo oh i saw some germa who the f is Dan besser hey there's me
so what what is this sorry hey hey oh it's home stuck get it off go go away oh my god
thank you short line is germa yeah let's go let's go i wonder if germa's a LTT fan
uh all right cool anyway oh okay nope we do have a luke reference hey and of course it's weird
that's the clover dale horse mcdonald's of course which is like the best mcdonald's ever it is so good
oh man that's funny that was awesome thank you cool well i'm glad that we i'm glad that
we chatted about that um all right do you want to pick another one
what horrible thing do we want to talk about now uh yeah they're all just terrible oh this one makes me particularly sad so let's talk about it
reddit to block internet archive as ai companies have scraped data from wayback machine reddit has
allegedly caught ai company scraping data from the wayback machine they'll start blocking internet
archive from indexing the vast majority of reddit wayback machine will no longer be able to crawl
post detail pages comments or profiles only able to index the home page reddit reached an
agreement with google last year for ai training data um a few months after that deal reddit started
blocking major search engines from crawling their data unless they pay they also claimed that the
API changes in 2023 were because those apis were abused to train ai models i um i mean given how much
of what is currently posted on reddit is probably machine generated anyway uh i i kind of feel like
this might just help them this might be too little too late remove some of the poison um
yeah with that said i mean if oh man because the thing about the thing about data is that all of
these ai it can be it can be infinitely replicated and all of these ai companies have shown time and
time again their complete willingness to pirate anything it is that they feel they need in order
to train their models so they've also apparently proved that that's legal so what exactly i like
i just i don't really understand what reddit is hoping to achieve here because there's no way
that they can stop highly sophisticated fellow you know ai companies from scraping the site directly
it just it feels like way back machine internet it feels like internet archive is just kind of
getting caught in the crossfire here because they can just scrape it directly or they can
steal it from each other or whatever else like they're gonna they're gonna get it they're gonna get
your reddit post data
yeah i don't know this feels like it's just hurting internet archive more than anything
okay that's why i don't like it neat there's a few really cool handheld gaming systems coming out
nice this is based on strix halo so that is that super cool like CPU GPU kind of apple m
silicon competitor from AMD that had just outstanding performance like i was playing black
myth buu kong on a tablet uh back at i think it was ces um so there's a handful of handhelds that
are coming out with the ryzen ai max plus 395 including the ianio next two um the one x player
super x and i think there's a third one yeah another one from gpd the win five now there's
a couple of things that are sort of noteworthy here i love this the gpd one check this out
uh has an external swappable battery
is that incredible or what is that just a battery bank that's just mounted i mean it seems like
basically but no not quite why not quite because it's like it's like their thing like it's not
just a cable like functionally yes yes it's a battery it's essentially a battery bank but it's
like they're like effectively like a g charging thing like it's wireless i don't think it's
wireless or is the plug in the magnetic i think so that's cool yeah so it doesn't just use a usbc
cable like some of the battery extenders that i've seen for the steam deck for example where it's
basically just literally slotting a battery bank in and then just running a cable um so
flipping cool and probably necessary given the power requirements of this chip so here's a
little comparison here between the gpd win five and the steam deck um this is from my probably
video cards yeah this is from video cards where they show yeah steam deck 15 watts and many people
unless you're running very demanding games probably wouldn't want to run into that because
the battery life kind of sucks strict halo 45 to 75 watts of course you get a lot more
performance instead of eight cus on the GPU you get a whopping 40 which is a lot
also a whopping up to 128 gigs of lptdr 5x 8 000 mega transfers per second
very nice ever since i saw that thing i was like oh that looks super cool
it would be amazing in like a handheld and then i chatted with some people who know about you know
handhelds and they were like ah it's probably not that practical because the performance
really falls off a cliff at lower power profiles but it looks like they decided to just not lower
power profile one x player put an 83 and a half watt hour battery in their handheld that is a freaking
huge battery sounds amazing in other news mini SSD is coming to de-throne micro sd this looks
super cool it's from buy wind tech and as far as i can tell this is not an actual
standard yet in the industry or anything but look at this whoa whoa people are gonna lose those
it's hilarious they must be they they must be the least american people ever to think that anyone
in america like actually uses a one dollar coin yeah like it technically yeah i think it exists but
like what that's hilarious um it's like the kind of thing that you google and you've never been to
america anyway the point is mini SSD it uses a PCIe i believe it uses two gen four lanes yeah
PCIe 4.0 by 2 to do up to 3700 megabytes per second sequential reads in that form factor
let me see do they have anything else for scale oh bloody hell well whatever the point is that
it's really really freaking small and i would actually love to see this takeoff i think i have
some concerns i don't know what we're gonna do about cooling um there's the power requirements
of running PCIe lanes versus the much more power sippy um micro sd like there's there's definitely
concerns but if this could be implemented in like phones for instance we might see a return
to expandable storage one hold on i'm going somewhere with this then so you haven't had
the conversations i've had i'm going somewhere with this um one of the conversations that i had
around why one of the reasons why external storage has made its way particularly specifically
out of high end devices is that there is concern and whether the concern is valid or not that's a
different conversation sure but there is concern among executives at at least one company that
makes high end and low end phones the low end of which have expandable storage and the high end of
which do not that having expandable storage that is low performance and low reliability
could reflect poorly on the experience of using the high end device and therefore their brand
that is at least one of the reasons that seems plausible enough that i have heard
for why expandable storage was ultimately removed from at least one company's high end devices
it blows but it sounds pretty darn plausible if you are familiar with sort of corporate logic
if it could be high performance i could potentially see that decision being reversed if it could be
only high performance and if it was the mini SSD that it seems like it would be i could see i could
see it happening i'm just saying like that's that it would be important in in this line of logic
that it couldn't have the potential to be bad and i think that would be super cool
i have major questions about cooling like i said in that tiny tiny form factor i mean we all saw
what happened with even micro sd and there being potential thermal issues or you know whatever it
was exactly that happened with the with the original rog ally but overall i support a more
PCIe connected NVMe future um aol is ending dial-up internet service in september 34 years after its
debut that's right aol shield browser and aol dialer software are also getting killed off
our discussion question from nicholas ploof is can you do the modem handshake noise from memory
i don't think perfectly sort of i think
okay let's play let's play and see how close we got
you're playing audio currently i know oh yes one moment please
there you go okay we're ready yep okay let's see how close we got
we all forgot the dialing yep
oh i forgot to be
we're surfing now boys man that brings me back buddy boomer boomer good oldies
yeah play that on the radio i like when i i i preferred when things were chunky bmi zutown
in Floatplane chat says i've got goosebumps at the moment we don't feed our computers
no one pick up the phone says dj spark they don't have any mouths we took away their mouths
the computer not having a mouth is sad see you later dial-up i miss physical media it made me curious
what accessing the modern internet would look like with dial-up so we're thinking of maybe getting
a dial-up service and like trying to browse the internet just for an LTT video i mean there's
apparently like a million americans that are still on dial-up so they must be able to do
something with it what i don't know email maybe like maybe i could do email all right
in other news Intel's confusing series two CPU brand is a massive step backwards
Intel series one rebranding started in 2023 on mobile devices with core and core ultra
core ultra was meteor lake with neural processors and better power efficiency
and core non-ultra was raptor lake with core three core five core seven but no nine in 2024
the core i9 1400 hx launched causing confusion because all of a sudden lowercase i and the nine
were back you can't call it core ultra because there's no npu you can't call it core because
there is no core nine but hey they did it anyway then series two launched in september 2024
this is lunar lake marketing mentioned npu's and battery life improvements except that series two
now also includes raptor lake and arrow lake which is causing even more confusion the pc world
article brings up the alienware 16x aurora laptop with the series two Intel core seven 240 h
this is a raptor lake chip with no npu okay but you can get the same laptop with an Intel
series two core ultra nine two seven five hx which is arrow lake not lunar lake and yes has an npu
so anyone who watched just for the early marketing cycle on series two and then stopped paying
attention later may not understand that series two no longer strictly means lunar lake architecture
and npu's it just means whatever the f*** we want to put in it it could be raptor lake it could be
arrow lake it might have an npu it might not well ultra still means npu i guess as far as i
can tell but if there are no rules then how do i trust the rules it's like they took all of the
crappy things that AMD did in the mobile space and all the crappy things that NVIDIA has done
and all the crappy things that Intel has ever done with confusing branding and put them all together
i just
don't know how to deal with this anymore i don't think there's any solving their naming scheme
at this point to be honest like i it's they've they've come close multiple times and then just
bailed so like i don't think they're ever gonna really commit to anything well they clearly don't
want to if i don't the confusion is it's a feature not a bug at this point
i hear you when they're like winning
doesn't that become like not true when you're losing though i think it's still a feature
maybe they think it's keeping them from losing worse maybe i feel like that can't be true because
like series two it's like man how do we okay
should i be
ah see this isn't quite a parallel so what i was gonna say was should i be upset when i go to
a ford dealership and all the cars on the lot say 2025 but some of them are an all new model
year 2025 and some of them are two years into the cycle with a facelift and some of them are
four are three years in and probably going to be refreshed in like four months when the 2026 hits
the lot is it any worse than that car naming is particularly kind of bad yeah i don't know that
one stuff like it's super annoying to me when you can literally purchase a i bet you within
three months you could purchase a 2026 vehicle well yeah and it's like yeah what the impurator
says cars with a model year that's a future year is an abomination yeah i don't even mind the iOS naming
he'll he'll use some it's just the year yeah they changed from numbering the os are they only
releasing one a year well they are only releasing one a year so far i mean who knows things might
change but they are releasing it so when they announce it it's the next year but i actually
don't mind that because by the time it's actually if when it comes out it's that year then who cares
that's totally fine it'll be the i don't think even that's necessarily going to be quite right but
it'll be the year of when most people are using it mostly in that year so yeah iOS 26 in september
yeah it helps that they're not calling it 2026 yes there's a minor amount of abstraction there is
some plausible deniability that seems fine to me to be honest so it's like fairly easy to track but
not necessarily perfect all right this type says i just look at it as a fiscal year welcome to
development timelines yeah name them after star date says amnetics nobody ever really knew how
that worked anyway that's fair meanwhile hunday speaking of cars wants to you to pay to fix their
security issue after a Ryzen car jackings in the uk where thieves use um gameboy like devices to
easily crack the security of kia genesis and hunday and more cars hunday is offering a paid
49 pound so about 65 us dollar optional security upgrade that includes improved software and
hardware components to help consumers protect their vehicles the quick hack works by the thief
first pulling on the car's handles then this handheld device gameboy like device what the
heck does a gameboy like device mean intercepts the just the form factor intercepts the signal
the car sends out and cracks the security algorithm then the device sends back a tricked signal to
make the car think the device is a legitimate key rinse and repeat with the start car button
discussion question shouldn't corporations be made responsible for their own failures yeah
why do you think hunday isn't eating the cost of the security seems like a small cost for such
large reputational damage super tough though oh man that's really tough because where do you draw the
line on that and if you draw a line there you immediately crush every small company ever um
but hunday isn't a small company for sure and it's not like there isn't a precedent do you do a
revenue minimum or something yeah like the eu has different rules for for online platforms that have
many many users versus very small ones apparently these tools are are quite literally
gameboy housings you can go to mine it's yeah there you go you gotta pause it man
well that's fine they've seen it all right i think it's time for after dark Dan want to hit it
check i'm gonna i'm gonna take us off for a moment before we you can keep going do after
dark stuff but before we start actually answering work messages i am so tired why are you so tired
we started a thing at the company what did end up being called i don't remember but we had like
summer fridays yeah so most people kind of pieced at around a little after lunch today yeah um so
we're doing like four fridays at toward the end of the summer where it's kind of like optional
work afternoon friday yeah i tried to like a recharge i was hoping we could call it awesome
august but then we had to delay it a week yeah and it didn't work anymore for that um i decided to
i had a meeting that was going to spill over and it was with a person that i go to the gym with
so they proposed because i had to skip gym last night because and those cousins were here stuff
like that sure um so they proposed hey what if we do it in that like kind of void time oh yeah
and i was like oh sweet cool yeah so i went to the gym before when that was stupid and i always go
to the gym after work and then stay up for like a couple hours and then go to sleep right so i think
my body's like all right it's bedtime because i was doing completely fine and then like probably
like 20 30 minutes ago i just hit a wall so i'm tired because i was on vacation for a couple
of weeks and then i was supposed to be off this week but i wasn't because i might need to take
some days a week or two from now and i figured production would absolutely lose their minds
if i took two weeks off and then immediately called in a couple flex days yeah so i i so i came back
thursday and friday this week for the two days that i'm going to take off in the future and um
my natural cycle is probably sleeping anywhere from around 3 30 to 4 in the morning and when
i'm on vacation i tend to fall into my natural cycle because my kids aren't in school so there's
absolutely no reason for me to be awake before about noon which is when my brain turns on anyway
even when i do have to wake up and be moving around earlier yeah um so i switched over
on thursday morning and i basically have functionally like not slept because i can't sleep until late
because i'm way off cycle right now um so i used my friday afternoon to finally be able to actually
try to focus any energy at my work and get anything done without anybody interrupting me it was actually
really nice this is this is i quite enjoyed it this is why i protect some of my work from home time
it's like actually dramatically more productive for me i know it's not true for everybody bubble
bubble by i'm not trying to whatever for me it's it's very helpful i like the mix i like coming
into the office sometimes and i like not coming into the office sometimes it works works well for
me um i had something else to say here but i don't remember what it was it's probably fine
cool anyways Dan hit us sure thing we've got a few here hi dll if LTT was to cease to exist
how would you handle the forum and other community resources differently from ncix
oh man the forum's a good question because my initial sort of gut instinct would be to say like oh
yeah we would just um you know like allow somebody allow it to continue there are big issues with
that but there are major privacy issues around us leaving anyone other than us as stewards of that
data um if LTT were to cease to exist um i don't think it would be super expensive to just
keep paying for the hosting but i mean it's also gonna rot
yep if mortis doesn't keep it alive or whatever yeah so there might not be even much to preserve
at a certain point i do i could see a situation where you make like the the db for all the public
posts public oh yeah that would be kind of because the privacy problem is the the direct
messages yeah so you'd probably have to just lose those uh yeah we could just nuke all the dms
yeah okay but it's not just that there's a lot some people put a lot of personal information
in their like user profile and stuff that's public well not all of it necessarily like
people put their birth date and stuff i don't want that out there don't they do they i think so
all right my computer's why would we even collect that if it's not public i don't know i guess we
have stuff for the payments things so we'd have to nuke that as well if there's like user profile
stuff and it's not public like if i click a user's profile oh no it looks like you just kind of decide
what you want to put in there yeah okay yeah so any payment stuff would have to go yeah i don't know
that would definitely require some thought but yeah to your point it was pretty sad for me when that
entire information repository just disappeared and there's no way to restore it because as far as i
can tell it was running on some duron in a closet at the ncix headquarters so like i don't know uh
yeah because with that of a form somebody has to pay for it i wish i had a picture of what ncix's
server room looked like because they local hosted the site until like very close to before i left
like it was crazy it was like a bunch of like like shuttle and soltech like cube pcs and like
it was dude it was wild and it was just those like metal racks from cosco with just like
computers on them looked like like a really rudimentary mining farm anyway did you ever see
it yeah oh okay you say you remember the forum was in there for a bit oh wait the forum was in
there on a test bench for a bit and then it was in the studio and then it was at my well it was
at my parents house so hold on where where in the building was the room that you remember oh i don't
remember okay go in the front door and go left or right i feel like i rarely even went in the front
door which is the problem but i think it was left okay no i think that might have been a
different one then okay yeah it was it was jank dude oh it was super jank okay and i remember
the shuttles and stuff oh okay then maybe maybe you saw it then maybe i remember the room you were
describing yeah dude it was wild i wasn't in it often yeah um yeah anyways
sorry quick update about scrap yard wars yes um it's up and in processing right now it's about
60 sick hopefully it'll be done by the end of the show sick stay up for movie night yeah i'm going
i'm not i'm going more i will be up for movie night ola lld now that the bike is done ish what's
the next big fun project and what game should luke try to complete oh that's a good question
that's lots of fun um okay i actually was like not even really wanting to tackle a project
why do you get until you framed it that way cool projects and i have to play video games you like
video games and i like cool projects well i mean oh wait well hold on because i also
played a video game as part of the last challenge which you may not remember your video game was
very short but i finished it yeah i'm just saying i also played video games so all right okay all
right all right um i played titanfall 2 that was uh that was that was what i was supposed to do
which is so less than one of the stages in file is that like four four hours something like that
minor details okay first of all i want to give you guys a bit of an update because
i'm not i'm not technically uh okay this is confusing i will deal with that later i am i'm
not technically done so i have a text from the motorcycle shop uh from earlier today did i already
give the update that i accidentally painted a bunch of the threads on the frame oh yep
did they discover that yep and did i give the update that it used a bunch of oddball sizes
that they didn't have taps for i guess not cool so anyhoo i had to source m22 by one and a half
pitch m26 by one and a half pitch and m28 by one and a half pitch taps and sent them to the shop
and i got confirmation today at 11 a.m that yes they have them so that's where we've been at for
the last two weeks i doubt that i'm riding this summer but i will definitely ride next summer
nice i also have some paint flaking around the bottom of the gas tank because i didn't realize
how important it was to get good coverage there because it's kind of like raw and i thought it
didn't matter because i thought there were trim pieces that like sat in front of it because of
how raw it looked but that is not the case so i kind of have to go and sand that down and maybe
like completely redo that so i have some tape masked off there's probably going to be a bit
of a line so i was thinking of maybe doing it black okay or something i don't know but
i just i hate this project so much and i realized that you were trying to be encouraging hey now
that the bike is done what's the next big fun project it's going to be really cool when it's
done i don't even like want a project right now but it's going to be very cool when it's done
what would what would be what would even be something that i would even remotely want to do
oh i've talked about this i want to learn casting yeah yeah i want i i would love to
like make something out of like silver precious metal that's awesome yeah that's super cool yeah
it's too bad they gold every time i look at it is more expensive yeah so maybe gold will be
you should really do even if it's just for practicing you should do one of those cancaster
things can cast like pop can cast oh yeah yeah yeah yeah those are cool that'd be cool as far as i
know they're the like purity is really bad and stuff so like what you get out of it's not usually
like amazing or anything oh okay cool but it's still cool to like practice with and whatnot
yeah i could be wrong about that i don't know it's been a long time since i looked into it not the couch kind
not the controller to practice
hey okay i was called an idiot make something cool i was called an idiot for that controller
is it worth more than it cost to make it at this point oh yeah
get wrecked everybody else savvy
how do you align us luke and Dan question for luke so how do you typically determine the
backlog for Floatplane curious to hear how you manage your priorities for such a small
development team incredibly small development team um it's not easy to be honest because the
backlog is really expansive we we tend to go by oh man
how can i access it right now
your qbr no no no no okay uh priority right he sent like a summary of
sort of last quarters goals and last quarter achieved in next quarter goals i thought that's
what he was talking about no there's there's this like equation that i like have accessible on my
like home computer which is literally just a mathematical equation but i i don't have access
to right now but there's like a basically like benefit to the company benefit to the users
benefit to whatever and you you put a numerical scale onto those different things and then you
divide it by things like time um criticality is something on like the positive weighing side
like a possibility of success is something on the negative weighing side um there's like
there's like these different factors you can do that i have done that before um something
that we were doing for a while there was like pushing for sauce plus because we were you know
launching a platform so we had to prioritize things that got our our minimum level of this
is required for functionality done um and now that we're done that we're taking some time
and we're looking back at some things i've been you know telling people from the business team
and sammy to uh chill on the request for a while because we were very focused on that
and they have waited uh so it's time to like come back to them and you know if they want
something maybe try to get that done for them because they've been waiting for a long time
but it's it's weird because there's a lot of pulls there's a lot of people pulling there's a lot
different people that want different things the you know the the open sauce people want something
the LMG largest creator on any of the platforms group wants stuff but then different people
within LMG want different things different other creators on the Floatplane side want certain
things other creators on the open sauce side want certain things the users want certain things
and there are three devs um so so they should type faster honestly they need to figure it out
if we're not if we're not topping over 200 words per minute we're going to need to start talking
about second keyboard give them two keyboards one for their nose
yeah uh yeah no it's so it comes down to like a lot of it at our team size comes down to
criticality um how critically important is this thing like something that we really want to do
is tv apps and there has been work done towards that but it's often something that gets paused
due to criticality oh this other thing is not working um uh someone's uploads from somewhere
in the world aren't working because uh an isp is having a routing war um so now we need to like
solve this problem or uh x y or z critical level thing has to be dealt with and then we try to
we try to fit features in there when we can we also try to do this thing where like
you know someone will raise a feature as a super critical thing that has to be done for whatever
reason and it's like okay so we'll do that but then we'll like all right so you want that feature
well cool we're gonna find a way to make sure that we get some maintenance levels in here
as a bundle of this piece of work that we're doing and we're gonna make this new tool that
will make solving this thing in the future easier and also solving other things easier
and we're gonna use that for making this thing in the first place so like instead of
sprint to the finish complete that task as soon as possible it's like use this task to create
better foundations for the future and solve the problem all at the same time right that's one
of the ways that we've been able to prevent being in as as bad of a tech debt situation as we were
in the past yeah i remember that year and a half when we basically did that dude it was rough that
was crazy yeah so to to not be there again there's like a way that we kind of try to approach
tasking to stop that from happening it's called not making technical debt yeah that's a really
simple statement to make a lot harder to do yeah especially when you can't control your own
technical debt this is an interesting thing that i don't think everyone necessarily understands
which is like if you're if you're working on an embedded system that never connects
to the internet yeah if you're working on a controller for a machine and it's gonna be
you know up down left right for the next 40 years and it needs to do that you probably don't have
tech debt yeah but if you're working on a web system that's interacting with likely hundreds if
not thousands of other different types of web systems and all those other web systems are
changing and updating and evolving and disappearing from existence and doing all
this kind of stuff all the time things just naturally rot yeah and if you if you just
leave a certain thing alone for a few years it might end up being in a state where a lot of
the things that it relied on are kind of not working in the same way anymore and stuff like
that and you have to go update it um that's why javascript sucks but that's also at the same time
one of the reasons why javascript is good because it's like constantly growing
but that constant growth means you need to keep up so it's like it's okay good yeah but this is
like a fun little hint just for for flow playing people is the the whole themes which we've moved
now because we didn't want the fire truck and lambo logos there forever but if you click on your
let me go here if you click on your profile up in the corner you can see you know light mode
i just flash banged everyone dark mode nice there's also bonus themes and in there there's the
watermelon theme and the fire truck theme this we made totally yeah guys we totally we totally
made that just for april fools we just made that to be funny haha no that was how we figured out
how to have the the sauce plus theme right and that's how we tested it with tons of users
thanks everyone wicked so like we and that was a that was jaden that was a jaden initiative
he thought he could do this thing and and and that would be a way to build the tool
and also make a cool thing for april fools and also test it and also test it and all of these
things so you like i have this one task i'll find a way to make it solve a ton of different
problems and be awesome all at once and that's been like how we would ideally like to approach
these types of issues because we do not have the team to keep up with and i don't know that anyone
does but even the super big players but we don't have the team to keep up with every request ever
made there are so many different things that i really wish we had right now yeah like a trial
trial would be awesome but someday we will absolutely have one someday we will also
absolutely have a tv app someday someday um there's certain like phone compatibility things
that i would love to like in certain situations picture in picture and like background play and
all this kind of stuff doesn't work perfectly different devices iOS Android there isn't feature
parody there i would love to fix that we have a part-time contractor person who's been helping us
with app stuff so we're hoping to try to catch up with the app stuff but like these things are
tough and a lot of these companies have multi hundred multi thousand person teams and it's
it's three people yeah it's just a few um uh someone asked if any of us have a personal
1590 yet um uh Dan said sadly no i actually do i i yeah ploof i took his pre-order ah yeah he
pre-order the disinformation no no no it's all good um but but you too just getting you weren't
entirely wrong because while i do have it and i've actually had it for about a month now it's
still in its box because my computer is a royal pain in the butt to upgrade because of hard line
water cooling and being rack mounted and cooled by my pool and stuff so i've been waiting until i
have an excuse until making a video gives me an excuse to actually do the upgrade
so i have a 5090 i have not yet gamed on it it could be broken for all i know
yay pins dll.exe just got myself an and bernick gameboy handheld clone what games besides
faddle fantasy should i get for it oh uh man yeah what are some really fun little like handhelds
here let's have a look oh okay so gameboy clone is not actually a name uh okay it would have been
great if you told us exactly which device it is because that's gonna make this a lot tougher
platformers can't go wrong with platformers dude i uh i started playing super mario bros 3
with my son nice yeah that's cool it's it totally is still awesome platformers age well yeah well
some of them the the physics are kind of floaty and kind of crappy compared to like what is
generally understood to be a more modern sort of feel which i think really started to solidify with
like super mario world okay yes i do agree with that i was going to say super mario world physics
even when they are floaty i kind of like them yeah they feel video game appropriate three is like
still a little uh yeah it's it's a little it's a little tougher um but it's it's lots of fun
and he's been having an absolute blast with it which i think is super cool
so yeah yeah play play platformers uh what else what else would you play on a unlike a gameboy clone
nobody in chat there's no pokemon games or
still a thing for a reason so yeah i uh i tried giving them to my kids they didn't like them
they didn't like them i could see that nowadays for sure yeah i feel like a lot of it's the
nostalgic glasses for those games i think are strong enough that they're still worth playing
for people who played it back then but okay so this is a person new to these games
crystal says tetris can't go wrong with tetris if you just want to kill a little bit of time
for real gameboy tetris is fantastic and i find it very annoying that it's like impossible to get
all all the new tetris stuff are like oh it's tetris but with these crazy twists that i'm like
no i just want tetris stop golden sun me wasn't it's not wasn't my childhood so it's hard for
me to have that nostalgia for it yeah i'd say i'd say platformers are probably your
oh yeah holy that's right okay so don't feel limited to actual games from like big developers
and publishers uh sebastian the other sebastian not line is sebastian sebastian from crater warehouse
posted in Floatplane chat there's some amazing rom hacks out there where people have made
entirely new games with old assets yeah that's that is a heck of a rabbit hole to fall down but
there's a lot out there so that'd be something that would be pretty cool to explore hello wan
peeps Linus and luke and maybe Dan too i'm not sure i'm planning a trip to taiwan at the moment
and would love some tips or recommendations for the area specifically taipei soup dumplings
get all the soup dumplings i don't know soup dumplings specifically taipei limits my suggestions
uh you you were right i've never been to taiwan there's hold on hold on you have your thing right
i do he has a thing i do thing he like notes i do notable things i do like like scrapbooking so
on taipei i do a bunch okay a lot of these because it's taipei are going to be restaurants
because i'm often going for food with people when i'm in taipei there's an app called meetup
that i think might still be used pretty actually use um so that's pretty cool so there's a small like
uh a small kind of hole in the wall bar i don't drink they have good food called pay my tuition
which i went to just because i thought the name of it was funny nice and ended up being really
fantastic food i just randomly bumped into an NVIDIA ai systems engineer while i was there
that didn't know me he just struck up a conversation cool uh that was awesome uh down the street from
that there's a restaurant called oh man oh yeah Punjabi ethnic indian restaurant oh yeah oh why oh why
e um it's rated 5.0 5 out of 5 stars with over 6 000 reviews so go for it take those for your
recommendation instead of uh something i would say um if you're looking for a neat place to stop by
there's a place called tujay cafe which is there's like massive skyscraper massive skyscraper
massive skyscraper tiny very old style house and it's a cafe they like never sold and turn it into
a little cafe and it's a neat place in general don't miss out on the night night night mark
don't miss out on the night markets uh there's also a place right by tujay cafe like genuinely
right beside it called Dan park d a a n so that is actually just kind of a cool place to go hang
out instead of um a place to eat there's oh this place is awesome okay i'm going to pronounce it
wrong but hua shan uh h u a s h a n 1914 creative park it was an old multiple building textiles
factory thing and they've turned it into like an arts and creative park where people that make
things will show up and like vendor style cool sell their own creations and there's like a bunch
of different like themes as you go through i've gotten tons of like christmas presents and stuff
from there because it's like it'll be like the person who made it standing behind the counter
and i've had a problem here in bc or i've gone to a version of this and then found a bunch of
clearly ai inspired things like ai bookmarks and stuff that people are claiming are their own
this place i did not have the same problem um that one has 70 000 reviews and is like a big deal
thing so go check that out um it's very cool maybe one more and honestly i might just leave it there
okay perfect yeah hi lld enjoying the show as always aside from wins and losses what's your
favorite scrapyard wars memory so far speaking of scrapyard wars oh is it processed it is processed
it's processed oh look at that video ready it's back and bigger than ever in part two line is
and luke face off to build the ultimate budget home theater gaming setup using 1400 us dollars
they'll scour local listings thrift stores and online marketplaces and back alleys to find the
best cheap gaming pcs 4k tv surround sound systems and used components the goal create a fully functional
home entertainment center for gaming movie watching and perfect vibes without breaking the bank
you'll see smart diy solutions and intense tech rivalries as each tech fights to be the best
bang for the buck set up
boop boop um this is unfair there's only representation in the thumbnail of your team
yeah well you know you're actually i think you're actually most of the episode too ironically
so that was to make up for that
all right cool enjoy it you guys it's out early on Floatplane favorite memory from scrapyard
wars yeah right oh man for me it's got to be between finding the crack pipe in the
milk crate full of motherboards and uh the fix on the motherboard fix was insane that was
unbelievable oh my god um it still works and it still doesn't make any sense
i mean this isn't really a specific memory as much as it is just like something that happens
every single time and is a miracle every single time but the way that it always comes down to the
wire always it always comes down to the wire somehow you're scrambling it there's 30 seconds
left and you're going okay this piece this piece and done it's crazy because i've heard that that
last second thing is spoofed on a lot of reality tv shows we like actually don't and it's to the
point where it's made me question like how real is that fact like are some of them actually legit
they might be they might be yeah like because i feel like we don't think it if it's a real
intense competition you're going to use every second you've got i would think so so like for
some of these ones if people are like really pushing it and are actually competitive that
they might be real timing ending things i don't know interesting i oh here's a fun a funny memory
i remember the time that i think it was uh me and kyle were joking about taking a helicopter
because travel costs were not was that you and me that wasn't that was down with them
yeah it was with them but was it you and me versus them oh okay so it was you and me um yeah
because travel cost was not included and there was a part that was like a couple hundred miles away
or something and so it was like okay technically we could charter a helicopter and we could get
there and back in time and that wouldn't count against our budget which was clearly not within
the spirit of the competition no but it followed the letter of the law yes
hi wan dot deal Linus i heard you have litter robots you like which ones are they and what
do you recommend i don't know how much i like them but i have the whisker three litter robots yeah
like kitty litter oh you really got to dial in which uh litter you're using uh because some
work way better than others so as long as you do that they they are a an effort reducer
but not all cats love them and stuff make it that what you will i i wouldn't say i love them
i'd say i will continue to use them i don't fully i don't regret the purchase
greetings from the gathering of the juggalos caught you doing halls of illusions in a previous life
what's your favorite joker's card uh halls of illusions i don't think i've ever made a reference
to halls of illusions uh halls of illusions lyrics um
oh no i've done house of horrors not halls of illusions um i am not actually familiar
with this particular song so there's no way that i would have been able to quote it
what was the question though what's your favorite joker's card
i got to confess i am not actually like full blown juggalo i don't know i don't know the joker's
cards i'm so sorry to have misled you um i kind of feel right now like i accidentally walked into
a gay bar you know not because but you still want to have a drink like i got some extra pain for
you Linus um oh man you might enjoy it come on yeah like i just i feel like i i feel like i've i
feel like i've posed a little bit like to be to be clear there are there are there are probably
icp songs that i could probably pretty much like recite from memory but i was not like
into it you know i had a what if what if they're actually talking about bilateral i don't even
know if that's a real thing yeah they're not no they're not uh bilateral based on icp that's
um next you're going to tell me they made real cards what if i bring fego to well land
i was driving the other day and wanted to put some music on and decided somebody was talking
about like you know how c fox the local radio station is like classic music now or whatever
um oh no and i decided to throw on blink yeah so i put on end of the state blink 182
and i i think i found where uh the memory hole that happens in my brain for names and dates and
stuff it's just blink lyrics perfect word for word every single song entire album you just pushed
everything else out for blink 182 i haven't heard any of those songs in like a very long time and
like i would i would i was it was literally memorization of the entire album because when
they weren't singing i could perfectly do the instruments and in between songs i could guess
the intro to the next song without seeing the like track list or anything because you just
listened it cover to cover like so many times i do that with my work playlist and then if i hear
them in isolation it's there it's like oh no it's not right yeah jeez that was nuts um the way
luke said i was driving the other day it was very later kenny yeah that was i'm happy someone got it
we are canadian as well yeah a couple more here hi lld Linus is someone who is busier than most
how do you balance your work hobbies and family and the difference responsibilities that each
entail love your content uh no man uh how do i balance something's got to give always so
something gets traded off and then someone gets mad at me so i work too much for a while
and Yvonne gets mad at me and i spend too much time with my family and things fall apart at work
and my motorcycle has been not painted for two and a half years
does that summarize it pretty well i think like one of the things that happens is like my hobbies
have changed like i used to be really into games that required a more rigid schedule
like i had to work around other people and their availability and like like i had to be
there when everyone was there otherwise like we wouldn't have enough and stuff whereas like
now i can't really i can't really do that i like games that i can just drop into play for a little
bit and then put down when someone needs my attention rich my my brother was expressing
a enjoyment of one of the newer need for speed games and i asked him if he had played forza
resin 5 and he hadn't so i got it for and he told me that he basically can't play it
and i was confused because i was like it's a it's a great game right he has two babies yep
the missions are a little bit too long yep and they don't mid-mission save so games just have
games have like an expectation that you will know life them many many games do but it's like
it's like it's not being able to sit there for hours it's being able to sit there for like
10 or more minutes and it's just not really a thing so he's like i'll play later not just
the no-lifing so the no-lifing i mean like they'll have a high degree of complexity so that if you
have to go away from them for a week you like don't remember like how everything works forces
definitely not like that but yeah and then the other the other no-life thing is that you couldn't
possibly have anything else going on right now that the game expects to be the focus window
of your life and it's just like all blizzard games being like practically unable to be alt-tabbed
yeah and that's just that's just not a that's just not a thing in my life like one of the things i
like about tape to tape is that even though it does allow you to save scum so it's like kind of
not a good feature um you can you can pause the campaign and you can come back to it in a few days
and deal with it then yeah um it's actually why i kind of ended up getting into vampire survivors
for a little bit because a run is by definition no more than 30 minutes or 15 yeah hurry is so good
yeah um you get two in and a lunch break it's great like i like i i i i value games where i
don't have to remember the story i don't have to remember what mission i'm on where i'm going
how the controls work um and i can be interrupted and go do something else and come back to it
two weeks later because sometimes it takes that long i think save anytime is an accessibility
feature fight me it would it would break a lot of things like if you had save state in something
like elden ring i think that would be not necessarily say save state but like well that's
basically what you're very very close to that what's the difference in your mind save state would be
like frame perfect in a way but i mean you could have a boss fight that's like could take you half
an hour yeah okay so should you be able to save mail boss multi checkpoint boss fight but then
you're not really like that's part of the challenge is that you have to beat all the phases so it's
an accessibility feature why is that accessibility yeah attention span attention spans if you want
to make it easier for yourself uh like difficulty level is an accessibility feature in a way
you know elden ring doesn't have a disability filter it's just good or you're not are you saying
this is a thing that is an accessibility feature or i think it should be included in every game
all the time yeah you can turn it off or on if you want a lot of games are moving to pick your own
difficulty and i think save quantities should be included in that do you do checkpoint do you do
sub checkpoint what i don't like is when they disguise the accessibility and and sorry the
accessibility and difficulty settings and i can't tell what it is it was one of those
those newer like jrpg style games that i played recently expedition 33 uh it was i think it was
sea of stars accessibility hold on let me let me have a look some of them can get too granular
and too confusing the new doom is complicated because it's like well how do you want me to play it
okay okay this this was confusing to me because i couldn't tell
um like okay they they they kind of say it these are weird yeah so so they're relics
which for final fantasy six me means that you can equip them to like play the to be more competitive
in battle which is what these are but what they actually are is accessibility settings
wait you loot these no okay yeah so it just it took me a second um because like this doesn't
technically make it so that you don't have to like wing fights at all like so it just seemed
like a convenience thing i was like oh yeah the amulet of storytelling the true strike pendant
but like i just i got a little confused i i couldn't why tell if they were accessibility
features i hear you i've never seen them were meant to be equipped before and i think it's
kind of fun i understand how it's confusing kind of cool but i think it's kind of a fun way but
like i wanted to like beat the game and i didn't want to there was no sort of physical reason
for me to need like an accessibility feature necessarily so i just i wanted to like beat
the game and i couldn't really 100 tell what beating the game meant because i couldn't tell
what they were like am i supposed to use these right okay is playing with none of them on like
hard mode because that wasn't necessarily what i wanted either when it's something religiously chill normal yeah what's the what's just like the developer's intended difficulty
that's why it's something like elden rings great because there's one difficulty doing difficulty
in general is worse experience yeah so there's like intended way to play right and then you
know accessibility features you can make it different although i don't have those and you
said it's great because i don't know but the the list that he just gave didn't have any indication
which is the like intended experience yeah so elden ring has an intended experience and then
everything is just accessibility features versus having a mishmash of difficulty levels and
accessibility which is what's the new doom did and it was very confusing to figure out what the
intended way to play which apparently is like hard not even normal but like some people would
take elden ring they'd set it to max difficulty if it had difficulty and then people would complain
it's too hard or something like that so i don't know it's very very complicated how you
how you do this stuff but i i didn't want to derail it i just think saving any time or saving
more often is great for people like your brother with children who might not want to redo a boss
fight 300 times this needs to get good that is the other thing just have a skill issue checkbox
and then it just uninstalls itself elden ring does not refund you all right archived hi low
density leeper protein uh what are your thoughts on people on the spectrum with ai girl slash
boyfriends because they say legitimately because they say they legitimately have trouble with
real human connections so that's the thing that i was kind of getting at earlier where
i think that there would be an agreement regardless of you know your your leanings
that developing a co-dependency on an ai boyfriend or girlfriend or mother or you know
whatever they're whatever the ai is role playing as developing that detent dependency is clearly a
disordered um state but what people don't seem to be able to agree on is what the treatment is
of this disordered deluded state um yeah and i'm gonna be honest with you i i am not a medical
professional and i'm not going to presume to say what i think the the proper sort of therapy
should be in this case but it is clear that this is a disordered state and so um
rarely in the case of a disordered state is encouraging further disordered state the correct
answer that is as much as i think i could probably say on the subject also have some issues where
like i i'm i'm presuming the the person you're describing in this scenario is is far from the
person that i'm going to describe in this situation to be very clear um but we do have a problem in
current year with a lot of people of self diagnosing themselves with some actually pretty
serious things um as in a lot of cases an excuse to not do something or not try or whatever else
and it's it's really quite sad because it takes away from people that like actually have those
difficulties or whatever else um but it's it also sells the sells the person who's doing
that quite short in what they can accomplish on their own so if this is someone who could
totally figure it out if right and they sell themselves short on the idea and then just
surrender to this concept of well i can't because that's really rough um and that is absolutely
a thing that people do and no again this is not an everyone situation um i'm sure there are some
people that might just actually never be able to figure this out and then again along with Linus i
don't i don't know what the i don't know what the solve is for that i'm far from the right person
to answer that but yeah and last one i've got for you tonight hello big Linus luke and Dan the great
i've got a question for Linus what was the most riskiest or dangerous video that was ever made
on the channel oh uh dangerous video ever made okay there was that uh there was that issue
there was that issue we had on the uh that larping ASUS shoot that unfortunately the footage seems to
have been lost for which is too bad because it was pretty cool uh where the our like canopy thing
like blew away and then that like jacked guy grabbed it before it like stabbed anybody
that wasn't inherently dangerous about the shoot but we didn't sandbag that thing and
it that was bad we we learned i remember that yeah i didn't remember that until now and now i remember
that um i hurt myself doing my own stunt trying to be a ninja um this was this like super horrible
cringe thing that we did for uh be quiet! back in the day i don't know man i don't know what we're
heck yeah dude but uh hold on we used to do a lot of jumping off things with fake swords
and real swords we used to do a lot of that i don't know about a lot of it but i did that
so i did not land that um hold on where is it where's the flip dang it dang it
okay zoomed there that's the problem hold on okay so this flip i a hundred percent did not land
yep off of a fence yep um we did have a crash pad because i knew i wasn't gonna land it yep um
pretty big one too my back was pretty sore for a bit so that's definitely a dangerous thing that
was done the shot of us coming over the roof is sick though yeah we probably shouldn't have been on
the roof in the dark like that it was sick though um oh i got injured doing this uh fighting Dennis
he landed on my knee oh yeah um man i wonder how many things i've been injured doing over the years
Channel Super Fun seems like a solid candidate for injuries oh yeah i mean nerd sports was kind
of insane oh yeah though the cross one was like actually dumb um we're like super lucky that they
decided not to kill us yeah yeah they could have um here's the most replayed moment the keyboard
warriors so uh i was rough housing one of them a little bit and then he like mentioned to me
that he could flatten the rest of the team and i was like that's fair
uh you know nerd sports is coming back right no yeah there's a badminton episode oh i know
that yeah yeah i was uh i i poked my head in on um oh shoot what who was it it was Jake bell
and someone oh shoot i forget but they were doing commentary for it they weren't live
commentating the match like we had for the original nerd sports they were just watching the edit and
like reacting to it essentially but i don't know whatever what's the difference um it's hilarious
it's it's gonna be great david said the video was already good enough without them coming in and
doing commentary and so it's just that i'm sure the commentary is great that i'm really excited
about the commentary um so you have poking your head on things have you even seen your new desk
i have a new desk in Labs no yeah okay i didn't know i didn't know i had one you asked for a
desk in Labs oh cool well i guess i'll use it then all the Labs people like did you set up
all nice and stuff oh that sounds sick that makes a lot more sense you just didn't know okay
yeah you and me have like facing out desks kind of in the corner so we have screen protected
oh whatever blah blah blah that sounds great all your stuff from your office is all like laid out
oh that's super cool yeah exciting have you seen the new lab at all no oh wow dude i well i've been
out for two weeks oh but that basically means you haven't been in that building at all since
you've been back dude i i don't even have an office here yet like i'm just using that meeting room
like i don't actually have my own desk here so i so i kind of i moved over here when i started the
vibe coding challenge and that was the room that they just set up for me to shoot in right it happens
to be my old office but it's it's i don't have literally anything of my own in there i just
bring in my laptop which is now broken and there's a dock i wonder why because it's a meeting room
yeah so i don't actually have an office right now for the first time well you do since the house
well not an enclosed one yeah yeah so the last time i didn't have an office was in the Langley
house when i worked in the editing then i don't like them i had one for a short period of time
and then have opted to not ever since and i've opted to not continue the wanshow we'll see you
again next week guys same bad time same bad channel bye
you
