WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
alive

00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.360
And there we go

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.840
I just refreshed it. Are you sure we're live? Oh

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.920
Yeah, there it goes. Let the record show. I

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:25.520
Was not the reason when is late today

00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:30.680
The record shall show us Leslie it

00:00:32.440 --> 00:00:36.160
This is how this is how proud you get of doing it one time. Yes

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:42.400
Now imagine how insufferable I'm gonna get when I do it more times

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:49.200
You're not gonna do it more times. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm home on Fridays for like the rest of the year

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.160
It's not gonna happen. No, it's gonna happen. No, it's not it's gonna happen

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.680
You know what could go in your favor you you should you got a lobby

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:01.440
You got to try to keep the government shut down going because if I can't fly back

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:05.320
Oh, dude, I heard like hundreds of flights were canceled today

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:09.000
There's like 4% of flights or something mine still seems to be

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:19.240
going Yeah But then I fly I back down here again on Monday. So we are really late. Should we start the show? We'll see yeah

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:21.240
Just do it. Okay

00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:27.160
Oh

00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:33.080
Yes, I usually do it over here, right? Yes

00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:35.080
Yes

00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:58.480
Theoretically I had Vance fix my 2FA crap. I haven't actually checked it yet. I'm hoping for the best though

00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:05.080
I

00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:27.120
What am I looking for right immediately distracted

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:44.240
Okay, no authentication loops so far. That's nice. I like

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:04.880
Hello What's up big dog god I have 81 emails from the last two days. This is so stupid

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.000
See this is why I never respond to emails

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.720
Because the second I respond to an email someone's gonna send me another email and it's compounding

00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.320
The more emails I send the more I get

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.240
Yeah, we like pretty much shouldn't use emails internally. I mean less there for like specific use cases

00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.840
Strong disagree because I can't do anything that isn't in an email

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:35.320
Why? Because I'll forget

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:44.000
Dear god Like man, you send me like a teams message or something like I can't I get what if one person has more than one thing

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.520
They need me to do I'm gonna remember to go back and like read the previous like teams chat

00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:55.560
What if I have to talk what if I have to chat with that person about something in between having like two hours to do a longer thing?

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:59.720
Like there's no way I couldn't there's no way I could manage that it has to be email

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:04.680
You're right. We're not we're not sponsored by any task tracking apps or anything. Oh, dude

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.560
No way to there's no way I'm gonna look at that There's no there's no email tools that you can use for like doing that automatically or anything

00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:18.080
Well, why would I do that? It's already just there in my email inbox. Yeah, for sure. The whole company's just be slightly less efficient

00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:24.040
What's more efficient about transferring something over to some other list instead of just having one list

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:29.560
No, it's like email has been relatively measured to be a slower form of communication a

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.760
Lot of companies operate on like day-to-day messaging back and forth should be through instant messaging and then things like memos or

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:47.160
Things like that should go through emails. Well, okay Well, hold on hold on hold on because like I mean I think that's pretty similar to what I kind of lay out for emails

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.360
I'm like, yeah, you need me to do it. Maybe you Well, no, it's a company though

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:58.560
It's the same thing if you need me to do it for sure eventually then it's an email like if it's a longer task or if it's like requires

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:05.880
reading and thought If you need it right away, then send it on teams or if you want bigger problem

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.480
My bigger problem is that we don't have like a standard and and people don't necessarily want a standard

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:16.320
Like I've talked to some people about trying to get one done and like someone that I talked to was literally like

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:20.760
Yeah, I just kind of like I don't know flip a coin and

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:27.400
Send the message on either one. I've had a conversation with one person in particular where I was like, what the heck because

00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.560
Like effectively mid conversation. They just switched to emailing me

00:05:32.200 --> 00:05:38.960
Which meant that like the information was split between teams and email and I was like this this sucks

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:43.600
But since when do we not have a standard? The standard is if it needs to be done

00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:51.040
Non-urgently or is more work than its email if it needs back-and-forth discussion than its teams and if it's absolutely urgent pick up a phone

00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:59.600
Like that's the standard Sure, is that not I'm well, I mean, yeah, is it not though? No, not at all. It's not followed. It's not even followed by you

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.240
When do I not follow that you email things that are like

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:11.320
Anything you'll email a screenshot of something that literally has it doesn't it's not even a task. It's just so it's just like

00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:16.520
For awareness, I guess you'll you'll send you'll send an email

00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:23.520
That's literally just a subject line, which again can often just be like informational like no, you don't you can't get away with that

00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:28.560
Like for receiving that type of communication you do not follow

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:35.960
Hold on because part of the part of the thing for teams was that it needs back-and-forth if it's just a bulletin

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:40.040
Which you said yourself then emails fine. I don't need a response

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.580
It's not a bullet. Oh my god. It's not a bulletin. It is a bulletin

00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:55.960
All right, where's okay charge punch it sure

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.360
This is gonna be a fun show because I'm really tired and he's cranky

00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:09.800
All right, I'm doing it oh oh

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.080
Shoot I didn't open the window. Oh Boy, and I'm logged into the wrong channel

00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:18.860
Sick Dan, you're gonna have to tell me when it's live

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:32.500
What's up everyone and welcome to the WAN Show we've got a great show lined up for you guys this week

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:39.900
Video games it turns out are more accurate than we thought also bad movies the password

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:46.420
for the Louvre for part of their security system was literally Louvre

00:07:47.260 --> 00:07:52.440
Which um nice, you know what I like it nice and easy to remember no

00:07:54.340 --> 00:08:02.300
No one on staff will ever forget that You know you wouldn't have issues logging into things if that's what our passwords are like if your password for teams was just teams

00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:09.260
You know your life would be better Also, I'm gonna talk about my experience at the airport with a total jackass

00:08:12.260 --> 00:08:15.180
Yes, because because because

00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:22.100
Trouble sucks enough already, and I don't need to be getting in an argument with people before six in the morning

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:27.140
Over things that they are completely Objectively 100% wrong about oh

00:08:28.020 --> 00:08:31.380
Boy, I don't need I have no idea what this is about

00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:38.660
But the fact that he's that juiced up, and we're not even like into the show yet is it's both exciting and concerning at the same time

00:08:38.660 --> 00:08:42.260
It's been a heck of a week for YouTube, and we're gonna talk about that

00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:47.500
We unfortunately can't talk about the things that I saw today, but there's other things going on at YouTube and

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:52.940
also Find the good news

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:55.700
Find it you can do it you can do it

00:08:56.580 --> 00:09:03.940
Stop killing games sure. Yeah, it's pretty good. Stop killing games petition was debated in UK Parliament, and we'll talk about that

00:09:04.420 --> 00:09:06.420
the

00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:26.020
The old and show is brought to you by Squarespace

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:33.580
AMD Roeve lab and you green alongside of course our rap partner dbrand our laptop partner Dell and

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.980
our chair partner

00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:47.900
Bal Turks Don't know my goodness they apparently genuinely don't like this, but hey, you know there's lots of other podcasts, so

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:53.180
They'll get over it What do you want to jump right into?

00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:59.700
Well, what was the the title topic was the Louvre thing let's just do that. Yeah, let's do that

00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:05.700
This was prepped by mr. Jordan block from the writing team if you've ever been disappointed by terrible

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:11.420
Security practices depicted in your favorite media video games movies books, and you've gone. Oh

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:22.260
Come on. This isn't even plausible This totally wrecks my suspension of disbelief because there is no way that you know

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:33.700
Insert Institution here be it a bank museum or even your local library could be so careless as to just have the password be the name of the

00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:35.980
Oh my god, it happened at the Louvre

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:41.660
The investigation into the October 18th broad daylight heist of more than

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:50.780
$100 million worth of jewels from the Louvre I'm putting it on that the quotes because I think a lot of the valuation of it was kind of like sentimental, right?

00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:57.620
Is that is that correct am I missing something here because I thought it wasn't actually worth that much in like melted down gold, right?

00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:00.740
I Feel like that's true

00:11:00.780 --> 00:11:06.180
As far as my understanding goes they targeted things that you could sell if it was melted down

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:10.780
And the assumption that I heard was just in case it was like too hot to move

00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:19.900
They could just melt it down and sell it for its materials. Anyway, the investigation revealed some stunning lapses in security going back at least

00:11:19.940 --> 00:11:21.940
a decade a

00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:31.820
2014 audit by the French cyber security agency found that the password for the video surveillance system was apparently

00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:40.700
Louvre L-O-U-V-R-E in all caps and other security and other security systems had

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:43.340
equally trivial passwords a

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:51.100
Follow-up audit started in 2015 and concluded two years later reported and this is a quote

00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:58.380
serious shortcomings included Outdating outdated and malfunctioning security systems

00:11:59.180 --> 00:12:07.700
documents from 2025 Indicate that the museum was still using unsupported security software purchased in and I kid you not

00:12:09.140 --> 00:12:12.220
2003 running on Windows server

00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:17.220
2003 Even awesome even

00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:22.140
Extended EOL for Windows server 2003 R2 was July of 2015

00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:30.100
10 years ago and mainstream support ended five years earlier than that now our discussion question

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:35.220
And I'm gonna draw Dan into it nice hoodie Dan. Thank you. You look great

00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:40.620
That's a weird thing to do with it I'm showing off the new

00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:47.500
Pockets good that is wonderful. I'm a normal person we know

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:56.460
Okay, he's gonna keep doing it wonderful so TC tugger is everybody

00:12:57.620 --> 00:13:06.500
Do you guys do you hot? Okay? Do you guys want to have a little bit of storytime sure yes talk about talk about just some some sort of egregious

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:13.380
Security things that you've experienced like at work say for instance. Hopefully Luke doesn't have too many stories

00:13:14.020 --> 00:13:16.020
Hasn't worked too many places other than here. I

00:13:17.260 --> 00:13:24.340
Can talk a little bit about about NCIX I did something stupid at my last job as well. Oh sure you want to go first

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:31.820
Yeah, sure when I was an inexperienced systems administrator and I was running AD at my last job

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:36.160
I exposed port 80 publicly so that we could have remote desktop working

00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:44.980
and the main editing server video server and I you know and VR server ended up getting

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:52.820
overtaken with like fake Ransomware they didn't actually have ransomware the pop-up just said that it had ransomware

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:58.820
Oh my god, and then they were also using it to like scam old people by creating hundreds of like Facebook accounts

00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:06.620
I am the botnet now. Yeah, they didn't they didn't change any of the passwords. It was just like full botnet server

00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:10.380
I just logged in and everything was fine, and I saw this stuff. I went, okay

00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:18.220
Well, is yeah, oh, no, okay, it ended up being totally fine. So no lessons learned at all my

00:14:20.020 --> 00:14:28.540
Neat, okay My story was gonna be about NCIX where Luke you might remember this there was probably about a 5050 shot

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:35.020
That if you typed netlink 888 into a password field it would just grant you immediate

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:41.380
Authentication into whatever system it was you were trying to access. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure

00:14:41.380 --> 00:14:45.180
I mean, but okay in fairness in fairness

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:48.900
Password managers were they a thing yet?

00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:59.940
Not mainstream anyway really Kind of extremely non mainstream and really annoying to use ones were

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:05.740
But like corporate level like I don't really think so like it's a legitimate problem

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:09.620
There's a reason that people would put passwords on post-it notes

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:15.740
And that people would just like you or have them on a sticky note on their keyboard or whatever the case may be like

00:15:18.260 --> 00:15:24.780
We've been talking about You know our password manager management and then and little things like that

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:28.420
slightly over the last little bit and I

00:15:29.260 --> 00:15:35.020
Was visiting a company recently and asked them like, you know, I don't know if you can answer me, but

00:15:35.660 --> 00:15:38.980
What do you guys use for password management? And this was a

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:45.300
Big time big money company, that's what I say

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:55.100
Their answer was we don't Even big-time big money companies have like normal people working at them that just quite frankly can't be arsed

00:15:55.660 --> 00:16:03.140
Yep, like they were legitimately like I don't know like Google keychain or whatever. I was like, oh

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:10.140
Yeah, all right. Now. I did continue the conversation because I was like, right that doesn't really sound a hundred percent

00:16:10.140 --> 00:16:12.500
Well, I'm sure the it team uses stuff

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.980
Well, yeah, so It's it's mostly SSO

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:22.020
Which which did make a lot of sense. So a lot of these companies can kind of force a

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:27.100
Very large amount of their accounts to be done through SSO but outside of that

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:29.900
They do have a key and they have a

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:37.140
They have some like service sharing thing which sounded really cool, but for most of your accounts, it's just local

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:43.680
Wow, I mean, you know what the thing is the thing too though is that most accounts and

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:50.000
Okay, this is ah man. We are like minutes into the show and I'm gonna say something super controversial

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.200
Most accounts don't really matter

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:05.080
A lot of it's pretty unimportant dude I don't want to FA on

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:12.340
Some stupid like game service that I used to buy one game that I use for benchmarking

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:18.580
Let especially if we can we can probably recover it if anything goes down and if it does get stolen

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:25.660
If someone has it for like a couple days, it's $30 worth of league skins like I just don't care

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:30.340
You know, well, no like our benchmarking accounts to be more valuable. No, no our benchmarking accounts

00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:34.620
We should we should we absolutely should but like personally, right?

00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:44.140
Like I'll have services that are just they're Badgering me to implement to FA or in some cases. They even force me to implement to FA and I'm just like bro

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:52.060
You ain't that important my password for you is literally the name of the service. It's the password is louvre

00:17:52.860 --> 00:18:00.540
88 like I don't care You know, I wonder I wonder how many people are gonna start using that as their like throwaway password

00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:06.060
You're on to me

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:09.420
Yeah, I don't know I

00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:16.300
There's like that like one of the yeah, I'm actually not gonna get into it because I don't need to talk about our security practices, but

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:22.300
Yeah, there's there's a certain amount we're like if we're if we're really being honest with ourselves

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:27.420
It's not all that important and for this company. I don't think they're just like stupid

00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:34.420
I Suspect it's that type of thing where for things that are genuinely really important they have SSO and

00:18:35.100 --> 00:18:41.660
For for a couple of the things they have like a lot not very common, but they have a system where they can like

00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:49.140
Share creds around. Yeah, but it's not really a password manager like if someone said of that just whatever if someone got into our shutter

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:56.100
Stock account, let's say Okay, the worst thing they could do because like we'll have payment information in there, but it'll be obfuscated

00:18:56.580 --> 00:18:59.700
It's obviously right so they could they could find our corporate address

00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:06.940
Which is on Google Maps? Yeah, they could find the name of whoever admins shutter stock for us, which realistically

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:09.700
It's probably still under Edsel like

00:19:10.780 --> 00:19:13.860
Whatever they could they could up your subscription tier

00:19:13.860 --> 00:19:18.220
Yeah, they could they could spend a bit of our money like they could they can probably get back

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:23.500
Which we could probably get back so like at the most they could waste a little bit of our time now

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:28.980
I'm not saying our password for shutter stock is shutter stock 888 or whatever stock Louv

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:33.740
Yeah But I personally

00:19:35.020 --> 00:19:41.020
Wouldn't care if it was and we had no 2FA on that account because I don't think it matters where you run into trouble though

00:19:41.020 --> 00:19:45.380
is that any policy that is to apply common sense and

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:51.300
Use 2FA where it matters and not use 2FA where it doesn't matter relies on

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:56.420
Everybody involved having common sense and you can't

00:19:57.420 --> 00:20:02.620
You if your policy was you wouldn't need policy if everyone could follow common sense policy. I

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:07.060
think that's Maybe mean but also

00:20:08.060 --> 00:20:11.700
Probably fair We've got some other good stories in the chat

00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:17.620
Hold on where is it? Yeah, funny hats and Floatplane chat. So is he frozen down?

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:20.700
Nope. Oh, okay. Wow. You know, he's just

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:29.540
Okay, funny hats in Floatplane chat says I've remembered it going all the computers in tiger direct and typing in tiger to get in I

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:38.940
Mean, yeah, especially back then like in the late 90s or early 2000s. That really doesn't surprise me that much because and

00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:49.060
Okay, I might out us a little bit here, but for benchmarking computers in particular. There are a handful of credentials that

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:54.620
People kind of expect to see on them because otherwise it would be chaos

00:20:54.980 --> 00:21:02.060
Like if everybody if on every computer that we unboxed on ShortCircuit logistics fricking signed into a Microsoft account

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:12.180
like that would That would be potentially a nightmare because if for whatever reason whatever account someone uses got deactivated or

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:22.500
We didn't have access to it or whatever It just sucks it sucks to have to do a to have to do a full reset on these devices

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:33.540
Oh Luke I see you're in chat talking about one of our topics today. Do you want to get to that one right now?

00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:37.580
Yeah, why don't we get into that right away? So there was a

00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:41.460
Let me scroll to my topics. I threw a couple notes in there. It's pretty straightforward though

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:45.940
Flow plane there was a back-end update on flow plane trying to reduce tech debt and do some other things

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:49.180
That included a little bit of human error

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:56.220
Unfortunately, we're not better than you know, Amazon Cloudflare Microsoft and all the likes said error resulted in

00:21:56.340 --> 00:22:00.020
Some users being charged multiple times generally up to four

00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:06.260
Which is clearly not good. We've already pushed a fix so it shouldn't be happening anymore

00:22:06.260 --> 00:22:10.700
And all of those users have been refunded if you don't see it in your account yet

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:14.700
It might take a little bit banking sometimes is has, you know delays

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:22.060
Can can that be a topic today too? Like that it's so freaking slow to transfer funds around. Yeah

00:22:23.020 --> 00:22:25.540
like around the world like how

00:22:26.300 --> 00:22:30.940
How so okay because I can't reconcile this Luke on the one hand

00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:37.780
You've got scammers that are able to bulk people out of like millions of dollars in some cases or companies or whatever

00:22:37.940 --> 00:22:48.140
And and the money seems to be just like Irreversibly like immediately gone and then on the other hand you've got I'm trying to transfer some funds from one

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:54.580
Canadian bank that we bank at to another Canadian bank and have to wait like three to four days and I'm just like

00:22:55.060 --> 00:23:04.660
Brother no, but seriously How many bytes of data is whatever authentication key you need plus the dollar value of the amount like

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:14.180
I don't know. I don't know. I know like to pay my credit card off

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:21.860
Can genuinely take many days sometimes like I am pretty sure I've had it take like four days before

00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:28.980
Which is sketch and resulted in me like prepaying certain amounts just to make sure I don't get dinged and like all this weird

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:33.380
Oh, dude, I used to do that all the time back when I was responsible for paying my own credit card bill

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:38.580
Love you Yvonne. Um, but I would I would just like sometimes I would just

00:23:40.100 --> 00:23:45.700
Transfer money into my credit card because it would it's sometimes it was a few days before transactions would go through

00:23:45.940 --> 00:23:49.140
And I would just like I'd have extra money in my savings or my checking account

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:54.020
I'd be like, well, I don't really need this and realistically I'm going to spend money on my credit card anyway

00:23:54.340 --> 00:23:57.860
Because already I was so I would just I'd just be like, yeah, I don't know

00:23:58.020 --> 00:24:04.020
I'll put a couple hundred bucks in there because that way If I did spend a couple hundred bucks and like it hasn't shown up yet

00:24:04.260 --> 00:24:06.980
And then I like forget about it for a month because that could happen

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:10.020
Then I won't pay I won't pay interest on it

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:13.940
Yeah, so I just to keep going through this is not financial advice

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:17.540
But yeah, we so we we push the fix it shouldn't be happening anymore

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:20.740
All users have been refunded. It might take some time to show up in your account

00:24:21.060 --> 00:24:25.460
I know for sure that a bunch of users have already seen the money show up in their accounts

00:24:25.780 --> 00:24:30.820
So hopefully that's happening to you if it doesn't happen to you and you you wait a little bit and still not there

00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:36.980
Please reach out to support. We really do want everyone to be taken care of. Yep. I'm sorry about this. We apologize

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:44.020
Conrad oh Conrad

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:52.740
Conrad helpfully pointed out that payments are dated So if the transaction doesn't go through for four days, it's still marked as the day you submit it

00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:56.340
But it's still like there's still a mental toll

00:24:56.900 --> 00:25:00.900
Right because you're sitting there not knowing if you've received it

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:05.780
And for all the good it does you that we dated it for the day of the refund or whatever

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:09.540
It doesn't help give you peace of mind that you've been sorted out and it

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:14.900
Doesn't help us immediately know that. Oh, yeah, we've got all the bugs sorted and we've got

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:19.220
Okay, the bugs are sorted, but it doesn't help us immediately know if

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:25.860
All of the attempts to process these refunds have actually gone through because not every funds transfer goes through successfully

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:31.940
So it just is a long delay where instead of us being able to go. Okay. Here we go one shot. Yep. We've sent them all

00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:36.180
Confirm and let us know you're good. We have to go. Okay. Well, we sent them all

00:25:37.300 --> 00:25:39.300
Now we play the waiting game

00:25:41.540 --> 00:25:49.060
Yeah, um Okay, gonna keep going through the topic. Uh, yeah, we have at least one

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:52.420
frustrated user here in the in the full-point chat

00:25:55.540 --> 00:26:02.820
Experience of waiting months. What the heck? That's insane. Um, if if you got something like overdraft fees or whatever

00:26:05.300 --> 00:26:08.100
You know reach out to support we'll we'll try to

00:26:09.060 --> 00:26:14.100
Ooh help in some way actually don't know if we can do anything about that. Oh, yeah, we can't do much

00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:16.260
But we can probably give them free time. Oh, okay. Yeah, that could be

00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:20.980
Uh, we can try to help in some way. I would

00:26:21.780 --> 00:26:25.380
Kind of caution just like if it's that tight maybe just don't

00:26:26.820 --> 00:26:31.380
but You know, um, which should be clear is not as like, you know

00:26:32.020 --> 00:26:36.580
Trying to shake responsibility for this but also it is a position that we have to take care of you

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:40.020
It is a position that we've taken before that if money is super tight

00:26:40.580 --> 00:26:47.380
Um, you should use it for food. You can always cancel now and come back later. Yeah, the exclusives will be there

00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:52.180
Um, so you'll you'll be able to go back and watch the ones you might have temporarily missed or whatever

00:26:52.260 --> 00:26:54.260
I just we're not we're not trying to

00:26:55.620 --> 00:27:00.740
Push people that hard, you know, like I really appreciate all the subscriptions. It's like it's very meaningful

00:27:00.820 --> 00:27:05.780
It helps keep people at full-point employed all that kind of stuff. It's great. It's it's fantastic. Thank you for being subscribed

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:11.060
I just I don't it. I I just it makes me sad hearing that and I don't want people to be in that situation

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:17.700
Luke doesn't want to be sad. We're yeah, don't make luke sad. Yeah, this is this is selfish. This is this is for me

00:27:17.780 --> 00:27:21.700
Luke it's not for you. Hold on. I'm gonna I'm hitting the button only for me

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:25.140
Move the button move the button Dan. You gotta move it. This is

00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:32.100
I actually don't care about your financial situation. I just don't want to be sad. Okay, so figure it out. Um,

00:27:32.580 --> 00:27:37.380
It's still on me Dan You know what? It's probably fine

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:45.780
Um indanadian and Floatplane chat says western union is shockingly fast and cheap for anything below 10 000

00:27:45.860 --> 00:27:52.660
dollars It's nearly instantly transferred and I guess that's my point though is like I can't go anywhere in a major

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:56.420
Metropolitan center without tripping over western union locations

00:27:57.060 --> 00:28:03.060
I shouldn't need western union Like it it's I just it should just be easy

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:08.260
It should just be built right into my banking app on my phone and I should just be able to just do it to anywhere

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:11.220
I don't get it

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:17.540
You wouldn't like him when he's sad Oh

00:28:17.540 --> 00:28:20.740
I would also say that with this update. There is a good thing

00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:27.540
Peter pushed a feature enabling auto-generated subtitles, which is cool. They're not currently GPU accelerated

00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:32.980
So we'll have to switch that over later and they'll we'll make them like higher quality at that time

00:28:33.300 --> 00:28:43.060
Uh, they're they're pretty okay for now though Um creators including us would still be like would have better subtitles if we generate them ourselves, but

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:50.180
Um, it is there. So nebulously in the future. This will will get better, but um, yeah, hopefully that

00:28:50.820 --> 00:28:57.780
That helps things. Oh, that's cool Um, but just to be clear, I I'm a little bit confused. There's some people talking in full plane chat

00:28:58.020 --> 00:29:00.580
Um, you don't have to file tickets

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:03.380
Uh to get your refunds. You don't have to

00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:08.340
Um, it would it would actually be bad for us, but I mean you do you

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:12.580
You don't have to communicate with your credit card company to get refunds. You don't have to do anything

00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:18.580
We are issuing the refunds for you. We are sending the money back. You don't have to do anything. It's all being handled

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:22.340
Hey, look, um, yeah, what are we using for these auto subtitles?

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:25.460
These are really good whisper

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:32.740
Really Is that one auto subtitled or is that one an up uploaded subtitles? Oh good question. I don't know

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:37.300
Uh, yeah, not sure. Do we do uploaded subtitles?

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:42.420
Uh, I believe for some videos. That's not a process that I'm super a part of

00:29:42.820 --> 00:29:47.220
But I know I know for some videos that they do I mean this one didn't have a script

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:51.060
So there would have been no convenient way to do it other than watching the video and then

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:56.260
Well, we we have built like the tyler a while ago built a

00:29:57.540 --> 00:30:03.060
A ui For using whisper because the the editors didn't want his command line, which is understandable

00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:09.300
Um Yeah, okay, so tour d'ercasing historically you only upload for full open exclusive

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:13.780
I don't run subtitles myself So i'm not super up-to-date on which ones we do and on which ones we don't

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:18.260
I just know that Chewie's in the chat. He says we only do manual subs on uh

00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:23.380
So that one would have been auto generated. Yeah, wow. We are also just so people know

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:29.460
We are trying to run this on all all of our backlog over time a ton of the backlog already has it

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:36.500
But not a hundred percent of them Um, how often do you actually I use the specific card? How did it get shmoo Luke?

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:42.900
Like that's really impressive Whispers fantastic. Yeah, so we so this is this is a feature and

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:47.380
You think it's good now. It'll be even better in the future. Um, so

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:54.820
Yeah, it might hopefully let me make sure i'm reading this right and not uh saying things that peter's gonna be mad at me over

00:30:55.300 --> 00:30:58.180
Uh, give me one second. Wow

00:30:58.980 --> 00:31:00.980
I'm I'm I I'm impressed

00:31:02.020 --> 00:31:06.020
I'm impressed That's pretty cool. It's spelled shmoo right

00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:12.740
Uh, yeah, yeah, chewie just confirmed that that specific video is auto generated in the cms

00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:18.180
Cool. Nice. Because I man and it was getting things like GPU, right? Like I've

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:22.900
The youtube auto subtitles have been kind of a mess. Do we have any idea what they're using?

00:31:24.020 --> 00:31:27.700
I have no clue probably not whisper though because whispers from open ai

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:34.020
Um, got him. So I like seriously doubt it. Um, let me see read peter's a

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:38.180
Yeah, it's running whisper small right now, which I I

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:44.900
believe is If I remember it's been a while since I've messed with whisper, but if I remember quickly that's not their best

00:31:45.460 --> 00:31:53.540
Uh version so once we get to GPU's we should be able to run better than that. Let me see whisper quality settings

00:31:57.700 --> 00:32:02.980
Yeah model size they have tiny base small medium and large larger models are more accurate

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:09.940
But slower smaller models are faster. The large model is the most accurate but requires a GPU for practical use

00:32:10.260 --> 00:32:12.900
So we're running small which is kind of in the middle

00:32:13.300 --> 00:32:17.940
So tiny and base are smaller than tell me something we have that meeting that we've started doing on

00:32:18.020 --> 00:32:23.220
I think it's a monthly basis where it's like a cross cross pollination of video ideas meeting

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:27.620
Like should we be should we be doing an LTT where we build

00:32:28.100 --> 00:32:34.980
Like a whisper GPU server and we huck it in the server room. Like can we just yeah, we want to okay, and so that was a project

00:32:35.540 --> 00:32:41.380
Uh, oh cool. Okay. I'd be so down which Got like kind of semi canceled due to reasons

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:46.020
And we're trying to get back because we want to do more stuff than just like

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.100
Uh, you know whisper translations, uh, sure. Yeah, I'm down

00:32:50.580 --> 00:32:56.660
There's there's also like let's look at CPU versus GPU transcoding in 2025 or six by the time

00:32:56.740 --> 00:33:02.420
It actually happens if we're being honest Yeah, well, but let's like let's look at what are the quality difference these days

00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:09.620
Because like the the the standard knowledge when we started flow plane was like CPU transcoding was the way because GPU transcoding looked like junk

00:33:10.020 --> 00:33:13.460
Is that still true anymore because as far as my understanding, you're right

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:17.380
Um, or maybe there's a difference, but it's so minor that users aren't going to notice

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:23.140
So that's my understanding to transcode on GPU's that would go way faster. Um, I would love to say cheaper

00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:27.060
I don't know if that's true because card prices are just so through the darn roof

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:33.220
Um, but yeah, it's an interesting thing the cards you need to video transcode aren't necessarily

00:33:34.340 --> 00:33:38.740
That well, they're expensive but not in like a from like a commercial

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:46.420
You know use standpoint. They're they're not that ludicrous like you're not have to gonna have to go and spend $5,000 on like

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:51.780
Or five $50,000 on an h200 or something like that. I really don't think so

00:33:52.340 --> 00:33:56.500
Like that would that's just for ai like at most you'd be picking up like a quadri equivalent

00:33:56.500 --> 00:34:02.580
Whatever they call those these days I just I feel like there's been knock-on effects that have made a lot of things really expensive

00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:04.980
but I mean, I'm also pretty interested in

00:34:07.860 --> 00:34:11.700
I don't know getting the budget for this or getting people to send us cards might be pretty annoying

00:34:11.860 --> 00:34:14.740
But it would be really cool to do it across the vendors as well

00:34:15.700 --> 00:34:24.500
Um, like what's that? What's that Intel thing that Intel cluster battle really cool name? No, no, uh, oh shoot. What is it called?

00:34:25.620 --> 00:34:30.420
No, battle mage is just the uh Oh, man, battle that lacks. No dang it

00:34:31.540 --> 00:34:33.540
Intel battle

00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:37.540
Four cards cluster. What's it called?

00:34:38.500 --> 00:34:42.980
Dang battle matrix battle matrix. That's it such a sick name, dude

00:34:43.060 --> 00:34:47.700
Oh my goodness, like it would be fun to to try out on battle matrix see what happens

00:34:48.180 --> 00:34:52.820
um I don't know. It's just that would that would be cool. I would like it

00:34:52.820 --> 00:34:56.260
I don't know how many people are gonna be that interested in watching it, but I think it would be really fun

00:34:56.740 --> 00:35:00.980
um, but yeah auto-generated uh subtitles hopefully that's helpful for people

00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:05.540
Um, and it's been chugging through the backlog for a while now

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:11.700
um And yeah, check it out. Yeah, but I guess I mean even if we finish the backlog

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:16.180
There would still be a benefit to us building like a badass server to do it because

00:35:16.740 --> 00:35:20.980
That way we can do it again with the larger model and then as it improves

00:35:20.980 --> 00:35:24.100
We could do it again, and then we can keep refining keep refining it

00:35:24.580 --> 00:35:29.380
Yep, because because just like chewie pointed out, um, it does become

00:35:30.100 --> 00:35:32.980
Not as great when there's like a group conversation

00:35:33.540 --> 00:35:38.500
Um, like it's it's it's definitely not always perfect. It's it has its downsides

00:35:39.220 --> 00:35:42.740
But yeah, it's pretty good. It's a lot better than nothing. Yeah

00:35:44.020 --> 00:35:47.940
Super cool. Okay, and honestly like like you said the youtube one is

00:35:48.900 --> 00:35:53.380
Really not great. So like so that's what we're up against. Yeah, exactly

00:35:56.100 --> 00:36:00.260
Dan what are we supposed to be doing? Uh about topic two

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:05.300
I mean topic three Sure. Yeah, we can we can do it. We can do a third topic

00:36:06.100 --> 00:36:13.860
um How about we talk about my terrible awful no good very bad morning at the airport

00:36:15.220 --> 00:36:19.380
So I had a recent trip down to down yonder california way

00:36:19.860 --> 00:36:26.580
And I was on my way back as part of this trip. I had to bring with me some electronic devices

00:36:27.220 --> 00:36:31.540
um just you know for for reference, right and

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:37.620
So I I ended up having I think you know this luke, but I almost never travel with a check bag

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:42.820
Uh, a I don't like the hassle of having a larger bag

00:36:43.540 --> 00:36:49.780
B. I don't like my stuff being away from me. Um, just because it's

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:53.700
Super stressful having to worry about when I get to the other side

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:58.180
Is my luggage actually going to be there? So if there's anything I can do to avoid it

00:36:58.260 --> 00:37:03.140
I will not take anything more than a personal item backpack and then a carry-on bag

00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:11.940
Um, in fact actually even my recent trip to asia where I was gone for 11 days in japan and china

00:37:12.260 --> 00:37:15.780
I took only a little roller carry-on bag

00:37:16.580 --> 00:37:20.260
Arguably by the end of it. I could have smelled better than I did

00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:24.980
But it's better than not having your luggage in my in my book

00:37:25.940 --> 00:37:30.900
And I just I've traveled enough over the years and I've seen kind of everything that can go wrong

00:37:31.060 --> 00:37:35.620
And I've seen how it just kind of always seems to go wrong and I just I hate it anyway

00:37:36.020 --> 00:37:39.380
The point is on this recent trip down california way I

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:48.580
Had to carry Uh a checked bag because of all the electronic devices that I needed to bring with me for reference

00:37:49.220 --> 00:37:54.180
Um, I had a couple desktop computers. I had a couple of like mobile devices

00:37:55.060 --> 00:37:59.220
Anyway going down totally not a problem

00:37:59.300 --> 00:38:07.780
but I had a seven seven and something am flight seven seven thirty or something like a seven 20 am flight

00:38:08.100 --> 00:38:13.940
Coming back So I had to be at the airport a little bit before six in the morning and I go to check in

00:38:14.580 --> 00:38:21.460
And I I put my bag up on the weighing thing and he's like, oh you're two pounds over. I'm like, oh shoot. Okay. Well like

00:38:22.180 --> 00:38:28.740
It's two pounds. Does it really matter? And he's like, uh, yeah, is there anything that you can take out and put into your backpack?

00:38:29.140 --> 00:38:32.100
All right, so so I pull because like it's so

00:38:35.300 --> 00:38:39.780
I'm sure the airlines have reasons for doing things the way that they do them

00:38:40.740 --> 00:38:46.820
But I think lift hanza is the only airline that I have ever seen

00:38:47.540 --> 00:38:50.180
Where they even weigh your personal item

00:38:50.740 --> 00:38:58.660
And they're so intense about it, dude Dude, do you have we ever told the story of what we had to do that one time?

00:39:00.740 --> 00:39:05.940
I don't think so Every every time I've ever flown with them afterwards

00:39:05.940 --> 00:39:11.460
I've had like a minor amount of trauma where I'm just like I'm like holding my bags up trying to just like physically

00:39:11.620 --> 00:39:16.900
Determine if they're if they're overweight and like I'll put a crazy amount of stuff in my pockets

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:20.420
I'll just like jam my pockets whole of things. It's like no

00:39:20.980 --> 00:39:25.300
I'm not gonna be overweight, especially if I'm by myself and I can't do what we did

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:30.260
so there was four of us and A couple of us were way overweight

00:39:30.660 --> 00:39:34.820
And a couple of us were way underweight and we basically were like, okay

00:39:34.820 --> 00:39:40.980
Well, does this matter because on average we are all we're on average. We're underweight under and they were like

00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:44.900
Yes, it matters. So at the bag check

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:47.300
We had we opened up all our luggage

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:51.220
And then balanced around all the crap in them

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:55.300
Put them all back together and then put them on the weigh station. We're like, okay

00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:59.300
Did this make a difference to the plane being able to take off or not?

00:40:01.460 --> 00:40:06.420
Anyway, that's a whole that's a whole separate that's a whole separate story. Um

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:12.100
So anyway, I'm like, okay. Well, like does the extra two two pounds matter. He's like, yes, it does. I'm like, okay fine

00:40:12.660 --> 00:40:17.300
As I'm like getting ready to like open it up and and rebalance put some stuff into my backpack

00:40:17.620 --> 00:40:22.820
He goes, uh, do you have any electronics items? Uh, any, uh, any fuels, uh, you know, any sharp items?

00:40:23.060 --> 00:40:25.940
Whatever, you know, like the standard questions that they they ask you. I'm like, oh

00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:29.300
Well, I do have some electronics and he goes, oh, well, you can't have any of those in there

00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:34.980
And I go What do you mean? It's like I they don't have batteries

00:40:35.700 --> 00:40:39.140
And he goes, well, you can't you can't have any electronics in your check bag

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:44.980
and I go No, I'm I'm quite certain that it's fine to have

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:50.980
Electronics in my bag as long as they don't have batteries like I I I have a desktop computer

00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:57.380
I am So glad that I had the presence of mind

00:40:58.180 --> 00:41:02.900
to say I have a desktop computer

00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:06.660
Because if I had told them what my real concern was

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:13.300
If I had said my entire check bag is packed to the gills with electronics

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:19.140
I don't know if I would have gotten on my flight Because I went back and forth with this guy

00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:24.340
I kid you not over half a dust probably over 10 times

00:41:25.060 --> 00:41:33.620
Like just having probably the most inane conversation that I have ever had with a retail worker of any kind

00:41:34.580 --> 00:41:40.100
I haven't even I haven't even gotten it out of the bag yet, but I basically by this point. I'm going

00:41:41.060 --> 00:41:44.580
Hey, no, I really don't think that's right and he goes

00:41:45.380 --> 00:41:48.900
I'm telling you sir You can't have

00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:54.820
Any computers you can't have any electronics in your bag. So I I happen to be at a bag check

00:41:55.380 --> 00:42:00.340
So I pick up the piece of paper that's sitting in a plastic stand and I go can you show me on here

00:42:00.740 --> 00:42:05.300
Where it says I can't have any electronics And he goes I'm telling you and I'm like

00:42:05.780 --> 00:42:11.860
Right, I hear you telling me But what I really need you to do is show me on here where it says I can't have electronics

00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:15.940
And he points at it like vaguely he goes right there and I'm like hold on

00:42:16.660 --> 00:42:19.700
That says electronics with lithium batteries

00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:25.220
It's a desktop computer. It doesn't have any battery and he like cuts me off. He interrupts me. He goes

00:42:25.780 --> 00:42:27.940
I told you there's no electronics. I go. Okay. Look

00:42:30.020 --> 00:42:38.580
Like by this point I'm just like Okay, two deep breaths. I would like to speak to a supervisor. He goes. I am the supervisor and I go

00:42:39.220 --> 00:42:45.540
I'm like, okay Then we really need to resolve this someone higher than because this does not say no electronics

00:42:45.620 --> 00:42:49.700
It says no electronics with batteries and goes sir. I'm done with you

00:42:50.260 --> 00:42:53.300
And he like basically throws my passport down onto the counter

00:42:54.980 --> 00:43:00.180
And I'm sitting here going like This is actually pretty f***ed up right now

00:43:00.660 --> 00:43:02.660
How you can be a supervisor

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:08.420
at air canada Handling bag check and not f***ing know

00:43:09.140 --> 00:43:12.020
That if someone is trying to move an electronic device

00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:20.260
Like how would anybody have gotten to like LTX whale lands in the past if there's no way to check a computer in a luggage

00:43:20.340 --> 00:43:27.300
I mean we've we've flown with computers Atonetized we've flown with cameras and stuff too. We just take the batteries out like it's not uh, well, yeah

00:43:28.020 --> 00:43:33.460
How would how would a documentary film crew ever do anything if you couldn't

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:40.180
If you couldn't check electronics in a bag, you think they carry them all so this guy literally so

00:43:41.140 --> 00:43:45.620
By this point. I'm like, well look no I have to fly like we're not done here

00:43:46.180 --> 00:43:50.660
Do you do you want me to take it out and show you he goes? Well, I don't see how that's gonna help but fine

00:43:51.140 --> 00:43:56.500
So I pull it out. I have this desktop computer. I'm like, this is it and he's like, yeah, you can't fly with that

00:43:57.300 --> 00:44:01.940
I'm like, you gotta be you gotta be kidding me right now. Yes, I can he's like, I'm not gonna argue with you anymore

00:44:02.660 --> 00:44:07.460
And I'm just like, so what do you want me to do? Like carry it. He's like fine

00:44:08.420 --> 00:44:15.220
I'm like, okay And like realistically like I could have I could have phoned Air Canada

00:44:15.780 --> 00:44:22.340
Support and been like, can you explain to this f***ing asshole that like I'm allowed to take a computer in my bag

00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:27.540
Like but I don't know if I would have made my flight. I don't know how long that would have taken

00:44:28.500 --> 00:44:37.220
so instead Thankfully again, I had the presence of mind to not disclose that my entire bag was full of electronics

00:44:37.620 --> 00:44:42.900
So I opened it up like like so he couldn't see into my bag took out the one computer

00:44:43.700 --> 00:44:51.780
closed it And was like, well now I'm under weight and I just so I had to carry this stupid f***ing computer with me

00:44:52.660 --> 00:45:00.340
I'm sitting there in the I'm sitting there at the gate at like a little cafe table with my stupid desktop computer on the table

00:45:00.580 --> 00:45:03.780
while I'm eating my french toast at sfo and

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:08.900
And then I go and I get on the plane and it's a good thing. I had the commuter bag

00:45:09.860 --> 00:45:19.460
Right because if I'd had the og backpack I was on the tiniest like tin can plane coming back here that had no room in the overhead for anything

00:45:19.620 --> 00:45:23.220
Like and it was completely full. So if I had had the og backpack

00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:27.380
I wouldn't have even been able to fit the computer under by the chair in

00:45:27.940 --> 00:45:33.460
Front of me, but I was able to put the computer down there put my backpack onto it. And I'm just like

00:45:35.540 --> 00:45:37.540
Come on man

00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:46.020
It was amazing seeing all this Everyone in the chat during the intro of the video was like when Linus says someone's objectively wrong about something

00:45:46.020 --> 00:45:49.700
It means subjective. No, that is not that is not true

00:45:50.580 --> 00:45:57.060
Maybe it has happened on occasion, but no, I was objectively right

00:45:57.300 --> 00:46:00.900
There is nothing wrong with flying with electronics in your check bag

00:46:01.300 --> 00:46:05.380
It's batteries that are the concern and this computer was so old

00:46:05.460 --> 00:46:12.340
It wouldn't have even had a live CMOS battery let alone any kind of like lithium lithium pouch cells or anything like that

00:46:13.140 --> 00:46:20.820
unbelievable and Pat coba pad poduck or whatever your name is in Floatplane chat says did you call air canada after

00:46:21.220 --> 00:46:25.140
They contract the guy down and give him some education. Yes. I did. I sent them an email

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:29.860
Or like I filled out their form. I gave the guy's name and I was just like look

00:46:30.180 --> 00:46:33.620
This is not I managed to get on my flight. This is not about like

00:46:34.260 --> 00:46:41.860
retribution or whatever But he does need to know because if he's supposed to be the supervisor that is handling people's check bags

00:46:42.180 --> 00:46:47.540
Then he needs to learn either the regulations or he needs to learn to read. I didn't say it that way

00:46:48.100 --> 00:46:53.220
But I basically just said he needs to familiarize himself with the regulations for what is allowed to go in a check bag because

00:46:53.620 --> 00:46:56.820
This could have been very disastrous for my return home

00:46:57.460 --> 00:47:04.660
um man Every one of my recent trips has had something dude. Did we talk on wanshow about triple c yet?

00:47:06.180 --> 00:47:10.900
Uh Triple c. Yeah, I don't think so. So my recent chip trip to china

00:47:11.220 --> 00:47:14.100
I got a really nice battery bank confiscated

00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:19.620
I was really frustrated. It was a really expensive one like one of those big high cap

00:47:19.620 --> 00:47:24.820
I think ugreen makes it and it was like 60 45 or 60 watts power delivery

00:47:25.060 --> 00:47:30.180
So I could run basically anything I wanted off of it indefinitely like rog ally or like uh

00:47:30.820 --> 00:47:38.900
Like my laptop or whatever Why was it confiscated? So it was confiscated because in china they have a new no

00:47:38.980 --> 00:47:45.220
It was not because it was more than 100 watt hours scrappy dp. It was airline airline safe. So it was like 99.98 watt hours or whatever

00:47:45.780 --> 00:47:52.740
um But they have a new regulation in china called triple c and they no longer accept

00:47:53.460 --> 00:47:57.700
any kinds of international certifications for the safety of

00:47:58.180 --> 00:48:02.260
lithium battery devices, but the the really like

00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:07.380
I don't mind rules and regulations

00:48:08.180 --> 00:48:11.380
Right thoughtfully applied rules and regulations

00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:17.860
Help keep society functioning. They help keep people safe. They can do all kinds of good things

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:20.660
They can also do bad things

00:48:22.660 --> 00:48:28.900
But they can also just be arbitrary and kind of stupid and in this case

00:48:30.580 --> 00:48:35.540
I don't know man. I um It feels a little arbitrary

00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:42.900
So rather than accepting what what are some of the other ones? UL has like a certification for battery banks. I think right

00:48:43.380 --> 00:48:48.660
Uh csa. Actually, I don't know if csa is the canadian one csa. I don't know if they do battery banks

00:48:48.740 --> 00:48:57.220
But a lot of the time in canada Um, I think there are categories of products that you don't have to have csa as long as they have like uh an accepted international one

00:48:57.540 --> 00:49:06.180
What what are what are some of the other ones? um No one in chat is throwing any at me here, but whatever the point is that um, you know

00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:13.940
Various countries have various certifications for these devices and in general as long as it is certified by some sort of reputable body

00:49:13.940 --> 00:49:17.060
It's fine. Now in fairness to the chinese authorities

00:49:17.140 --> 00:49:24.260
There have been some incidents especially recently where there have been some some lithium batteries that have exploded and anchor had that

00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:27.060
Recent big controversy where they had to recall like

00:49:27.540 --> 00:49:32.020
How many millions upon millions of dollars worth of battery banks because they they had some issues with the cells

00:49:32.580 --> 00:49:37.380
Yeah, but my problem with all of this is that the way that triple c works

00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:43.700
Is that it's it's a stamp on the outside of the device because I was looking all this up because I got my stupid battery bank confiscated

00:49:43.700 --> 00:49:51.220
So I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on And all they checked when I got on when I got through security was if it has a triple c stamp on it

00:49:51.540 --> 00:49:56.340
But as it turns out the only way that you can verify if the triple c is actually valid

00:49:56.340 --> 00:50:00.980
Is you have to enter a serial number into a site to check but nobody was doing that anyway

00:50:01.380 --> 00:50:07.700
And here's where it gets even more arbitrary. You are allowed to because I flew into china with my battery bank obviously, right?

00:50:08.100 --> 00:50:11.940
So you're allowed to fly into china without a triple c battery bank

00:50:12.580 --> 00:50:15.380
You are allowed to fly out of china

00:50:16.180 --> 00:50:18.420
Without triple c on your battery bank

00:50:19.220 --> 00:50:24.340
The only reason I ran into trouble was because I was taking a domestic flight

00:50:27.220 --> 00:50:35.380
So I can fly on a chinese airline Into china over the water on a long flight and that's totally safe without triple c

00:50:36.020 --> 00:50:38.420
I can fly on a chinese airline somewhere else

00:50:39.060 --> 00:50:43.940
And that's totally fine But if I do a little hop little one hour hop within china

00:50:44.260 --> 00:50:49.860
Whoa, you have to have triple c. You don't have triple c. You don't got boy

00:50:51.140 --> 00:50:56.980
So I was I was a little frustrated little frustrated got a free battery bank, dude little frustrated, and I'm not the only one. I mean

00:50:58.020 --> 00:51:02.660
Chinese citizens don't always express their frustration with the chinese government super

00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:06.900
vocally because you know might affect their social credit score or whatever else

00:51:09.620 --> 00:51:13.060
But there has been a fair bit of frustration over triple c because

00:51:13.700 --> 00:51:20.820
It only I think manufacturers only really started producing triple c certified battery banks like last year 2024

00:51:21.380 --> 00:51:26.020
So functionally what it did was it made every battery bank before like

00:51:26.660 --> 00:51:32.820
a year ago E-waste if you hope to travel with it because and this is the really really frustrating part for me

00:51:33.140 --> 00:51:35.460
It apparently applies to trains as well

00:51:36.580 --> 00:51:41.940
like On an airliner I get it a fire is actually

00:51:42.580 --> 00:51:53.860
a disaster, you know in a in a Pressurized tin can you know ripping across the face of the earth at you know tens of thousands of feet above the surface

00:51:53.940 --> 00:51:58.660
Right like that. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense to me on a train

00:51:58.660 --> 00:52:02.020
Like I have a battery bank in my backpack like really

00:52:03.140 --> 00:52:07.300
I don't know man. Like yeah, obviously a lithium fire anywhere is bad

00:52:07.700 --> 00:52:11.460
But I just at that point why not ban them from cars? Why not ban them from buses?

00:52:11.460 --> 00:52:14.580
Why not ban them why not ban them in the library at school?

00:52:14.660 --> 00:52:17.940
Like I where why are we drawing such an arbitrary line?

00:52:21.620 --> 00:52:23.620
Yeah, it's um

00:52:25.700 --> 00:52:33.700
I think batteries are interesting They're thanks. They're fine. But also everywhere and not generally a problem. So it's it's it's strange

00:52:34.100 --> 00:52:37.220
um battery fires on planes are

00:52:38.340 --> 00:52:42.500
brutal Oh, yeah Um, oh, yeah, so like I get it

00:52:45.860 --> 00:52:50.420
Yeah, I don't know. I kind of get it. I understand a country wanting to have more control over that

00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:57.700
But it seems inconsistently applied No, you're a blue. I didn't talk to anyone about social credit score. I was mostly meming

00:52:58.180 --> 00:53:07.140
um However, it is very clear in public interviews with people in china that they are more careful about what they say than

00:53:08.100 --> 00:53:12.740
People in some other places. I was I was reading this really interesting interview with

00:53:14.100 --> 00:53:18.980
This guy who's he's like a chinese donald trump impersonator. Have you seen this guy?

00:53:20.020 --> 00:53:25.380
Uh, I think so Uh, yeah, I'm I'm gonna see who did uh, who did the profile of him?

00:53:26.180 --> 00:53:28.180
recently

00:53:30.340 --> 00:53:32.340
This guy this is great

00:53:33.620 --> 00:53:36.020
He's got the body language nailed down

00:53:36.900 --> 00:53:39.220
You guys you guys should check out his videos, but um

00:53:40.020 --> 00:53:47.060
his interview is Very fascinating because he's extremely careful about not getting his

00:53:48.100 --> 00:53:56.100
His social channels taken down. He's like, yeah, I you know, I'm not trying to offend anybody. This is not political

00:53:56.180 --> 00:54:02.260
I'm just doing a voice. That's all no really though. It's not political. I'm not trying to insult anybody

00:54:02.660 --> 00:54:05.140
Please nobody get me in trouble. It's just a voice

00:54:05.780 --> 00:54:10.580
um, like really leans into it and Maybe his fear is totally

00:54:11.220 --> 00:54:14.660
You know unfounded or maybe it's not. I don't know. I don't live there

00:54:17.700 --> 00:54:24.580
All right, Dan what you want to talk about next why don't we do a couple merch messages and the cw stuff

00:54:26.100 --> 00:54:35.780
Sure, we can do that. So if you're new Merch messages are the way to interact with the wandshow. Hey, there's one right there. Look at that

00:54:36.340 --> 00:54:43.060
Uh, all you got to do to send a merch message is head over to lttstore.com looks a little something like boom this

00:54:43.220 --> 00:54:50.180
Whoa, we got some promos Look at all these banners and promos and all this exciting stuff, but we'll get to that a little bit later first

00:54:50.500 --> 00:54:56.500
I'm just going to show you guys all you got to do to send a merch message Is add this fine juicy piece of chicken to your cart

00:54:57.620 --> 00:55:01.620
Head on over to your cart And when we're live, you'll see a merch message

00:55:01.940 --> 00:55:07.780
You just go ahead and fill in what you want to say to the show put a nice little color decide if you want to have your

00:55:08.180 --> 00:55:12.660
First name and last initial or if you want to be anonymous and go ahead and place your order

00:55:12.660 --> 00:55:17.700
It will go to producer Dan who will put it down there if you have a little shout out or he'll

00:55:18.420 --> 00:55:24.180
Reply to it himself or he will curate it for me and luke to answer

00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:29.460
We like merch messages because they're kind of like what streamers do where you throw your money at the screen

00:55:29.460 --> 00:55:33.220
And maybe they acknowledge you maybe they don't accept

00:55:33.220 --> 00:55:38.020
You get fine high quality merchandise in the mail regardless of what happens with your message Dan

00:55:38.020 --> 00:55:40.980
Do you want to show us a couple curated ones to show how that works? Yeah, sure

00:55:41.300 --> 00:55:47.540
This one's from an an on any smart home content coming up soon. I find it to be super entertaining

00:55:47.940 --> 00:55:54.660
Yes, there will be Lots of smart home content. I still have to fix my house and in addition to that

00:55:55.140 --> 00:55:57.860
I think we're going to take a pretty different approach

00:55:58.420 --> 00:56:02.420
to the tech house that we are in the process of

00:56:03.140 --> 00:56:09.460
Shopping for right now. So Colton actually has a list of five houses sitting in my inbox right now

00:56:09.540 --> 00:56:12.260
I've been a little bit busy this week and I haven't gotten a chance to get to it

00:56:12.580 --> 00:56:15.700
And email is a totally valid way for him to send me a task like that, luke

00:56:16.260 --> 00:56:19.220
Um, so I have five houses that I'm supposed to review

00:56:19.780 --> 00:56:26.900
And once I do that, I think the first episode is going to be going around and kind of shopping and comparing and

00:56:27.940 --> 00:56:31.460
I mean I feel like this is one of those things where

00:56:32.980 --> 00:56:36.020
As much as it would be prudent for us to

00:56:36.660 --> 00:56:44.660
Take our time over a span of like a couple months and and shop and shop and shop till we drop and find the perfect perfect house

00:56:46.020 --> 00:56:51.220
I mean the whole content is we're going to fix it up. Anyway, so I'm I'm kind of I haven't told anybody this

00:56:51.220 --> 00:56:54.180
But I'm kind of leaning. Okay. If we have five finalists

00:56:54.580 --> 00:56:59.940
We go see them all in one day And we make an offer and that's the stakes for that video

00:57:00.820 --> 00:57:08.260
So we make an offer on one of them So that'll be the very first episode and then the second one will probably be okay

00:57:09.140 --> 00:57:12.340
Let's take a deeper look at this thing and kind of lay out

00:57:13.300 --> 00:57:17.620
Some concept of a plan and I yeah an idea for a plan at the very least

00:57:17.700 --> 00:57:20.500
Yeah, like at and then it would be kind of fun

00:57:20.980 --> 00:57:25.300
If we put our plan on like, you know a big poster board or something like that

00:57:25.540 --> 00:57:28.500
Or we made like kind of a task list of everything that we wanted to do

00:57:28.900 --> 00:57:33.460
And then kind of draw a few things out and then at the very end we pull the poster board back out

00:57:33.460 --> 00:57:37.860
We pull out our cardboard list and we go, okay How close did we get?

00:57:37.940 --> 00:57:43.860
I'm really looking forward to it And I think we're going to take a bit of a different approach to the smart home stuff compared to what we did at my house

00:57:44.420 --> 00:57:49.380
Where it's very DIY Whereas I could see us

00:57:49.940 --> 00:57:52.900
Finding a decent ecosystem that isn't too overpriced

00:57:53.300 --> 00:57:58.820
And locking into an ecosystem for something that we actually intend for someone else to use

00:58:02.260 --> 00:58:05.700
As long as that ecosystem allows local control

00:58:06.340 --> 00:58:10.020
That will always be that will always be a red line

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:13.060
Always like you don't like that

00:58:14.260 --> 00:58:16.260
Cool. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no

00:58:18.180 --> 00:58:22.420
Okay, let's go gambling What?

00:58:22.420 --> 00:58:25.940
Let's go gambling. Let's go gambling. What are you guys talking about?

00:58:27.620 --> 00:58:32.500
Let's go gambling as video content creators. How long did it take for

00:58:33.060 --> 00:58:38.100
Y'all to get used to your faces being on camera? I said, let's go gambling. I don't know

00:58:38.980 --> 00:58:45.700
Oh There's been some discussion on the subreddit and other various places

00:58:46.180 --> 00:58:52.980
About the current promo that we're running. So why don't I just interrupt and talk about the promo that's running on lttstore.com

00:58:54.580 --> 00:59:00.260
We are kicking off november with a holiday loot drop. That's right, my friends

00:59:00.580 --> 00:59:09.780
Spend $100 or more on lttstore.com and you will have about a one in 10 chance to win a prize until november 26th

00:59:09.860 --> 00:59:14.820
That is an estimate We do not know for sure because we don't know exactly how many people will enter

00:59:15.140 --> 00:59:19.140
But it is an estimate you can win either a pair of sennheiser hd

00:59:19.380 --> 00:59:24.020
550 headphones like the ones that i am wearing right now or if you're really lucky

00:59:24.740 --> 00:59:32.340
You'll win an ASUS rog xbox ally. That says ally, but this one is black. Is it the ally or the ally x?

00:59:32.420 --> 00:59:39.380
Somebody please hit me with the answer I'm pretty sure it's aliex. It's the x. It's the black one the performant one cool

00:59:40.500 --> 00:59:45.220
That is pretty solid odds for buying stuff that you might have been thinking of picking up anyway

00:59:45.460 --> 00:59:48.660
Like the glitch desk pad which is now available on the us site

00:59:49.220 --> 00:59:53.780
um It's also a great excuse to talk yourself into

01:00:07.620 --> 01:00:13.540
The vanity that's right. It's when v3. It's back and redder than ever in true

01:00:13.940 --> 01:00:17.940
When show colors as voted by you you may not remember this

01:00:17.940 --> 01:00:20.820
But we actually put this to a community vote

01:00:21.380 --> 01:00:29.060
Ages ago asking Do you guys want another black and orange hoodie like our previous wan hoodies in the past?

01:00:29.540 --> 01:00:31.860
Or do you want us for once?

01:00:32.580 --> 01:00:38.260
To make a WAN Show garment that is actually in the correct color scheme for the WAN Show

01:00:38.900 --> 01:00:41.300
The WAN Show has always been red

01:00:42.420 --> 01:00:44.900
It was never actually orange

01:00:45.860 --> 01:00:49.700
We just put LTT colors on this on the on the hoodie despite it being

01:00:50.420 --> 01:00:54.180
WAN Show which is which is a different color scheme the community over

01:00:54.420 --> 01:00:59.140
Okay, see this is funny. This is funny breakdown 1923 says that isn't red though

01:00:59.780 --> 01:01:04.020
Okay, here's the thing our person fun our perception of color

01:01:04.660 --> 01:01:12.420
is Affected by all the other colors and stimuli around us to the point where this is really funny

01:01:13.380 --> 01:01:18.580
Back before we had, you know, like real graphic design people and stuff

01:01:19.540 --> 01:01:23.140
We used to have I think the tech was red. Luke. Is that right?

01:01:24.500 --> 01:01:29.460
Uh Whoa That sounds right the point is the point is

01:01:30.580 --> 01:01:34.020
Even though LTT actually has orange as its

01:01:35.380 --> 01:01:41.300
As its pop color We had to make it red on here if I recall correctly because otherwise

01:01:41.860 --> 01:01:47.300
It didn't look orange orange looked yellow or something like there was a whole issue around the logo that was off

01:01:47.380 --> 01:01:52.820
It's been a long time since this was an issue But the yeah the the LTT colors on the forum

01:01:53.460 --> 01:01:56.580
Had to be wrong in order for people to think that they were right

01:01:56.900 --> 01:02:00.260
Yeah, um because they looked and like this this this was not

01:02:00.820 --> 01:02:08.260
One or two people this was effectively everybody They looked super wrong just due to the other colors that were around them and we had to do something about it

01:02:08.340 --> 01:02:11.780
I think that might still be a thing. I think the logo

01:02:12.580 --> 01:02:17.060
I wonder if you like, um If you snipping tool

01:02:17.060 --> 01:02:22.580
The logo on the forum and go into like paint or something and eyedropper the color and then

01:02:23.060 --> 01:02:28.740
Paint it a bunch. Is it actually our orange? I can't remember. I'm sorry. Well, you want to do it right now?

01:02:28.740 --> 01:02:34.980
Not really. Show your screen. It's not that interesting Sounds good, but at some point it was like that where it was like it was like red

01:02:35.780 --> 01:02:42.020
And then ed was working on Some other asset and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why is everything red?

01:02:42.100 --> 01:02:47.220
And he's like, oh, I just eyedroppered like the forum banner header and that was when the investigation started

01:02:47.300 --> 01:02:51.780
And I was like, what the heck is going on here because our our accent color is orange

01:02:52.660 --> 01:02:56.980
Anyway, the eye is down in the corner right now. Like it's clearly red

01:02:57.540 --> 01:03:01.300
Okay, very funny. Dan put it back. I'm trying to make it orange

01:03:02.660 --> 01:03:05.620
Fine fine. No fun allowed. Why don't you?

01:03:06.980 --> 01:03:12.660
messing with everybody Okay, there's also a ton of other cool upgrades

01:03:13.380 --> 01:03:20.100
Yes, there are slightly fewer pockets actually, but the pocket placement is much more intentional and streamlined

01:03:20.180 --> 01:03:25.620
for example, instead of having two kanga pockets and accidentally sticking your hand in

01:03:26.260 --> 01:03:33.860
The other one we just made it one and we changed how the zipper is embedded to reduce any chance of the adhesive pulling off

01:03:34.100 --> 01:03:38.260
We also added a zippered chest pocket. Where you at? There you are right there

01:03:39.460 --> 01:03:44.660
Zipper chest pocket. We switched the sides of the ARM pocket to make it easier to use for

01:03:45.220 --> 01:03:51.300
Sorry, right-handed people. Sorry lefties. Sorry the south south pause to make it easier on right-handed people who are the majority

01:03:51.300 --> 01:03:55.060
I'm sorry. Um, and we made the back pocket back here

01:03:56.820 --> 01:04:01.860
Even bigger. We also changed up the fabric. It's a heavier weight cotton terry feels more premium

01:04:01.860 --> 01:04:10.260
It's also a little bit warmer and we improved the hood It's now a three panel design that just sits a little bit better on your head. We also made it a little bit more fun

01:04:10.500 --> 01:04:17.460
We made the draw cord tips Hexagons because they're the bestagons and the eyelids are shaped like a bestagon as well

01:04:17.700 --> 01:04:23.540
And obviously it's red and gray voted by you. We even did a newsletter blog post on it

01:04:24.100 --> 01:04:26.740
Make sure you subscribe by the way to the LTT Store newsletter

01:04:27.380 --> 01:04:32.900
Yeah, the old one really was quite uh, quite orange. Oh, oh, this is like the og og one

01:04:33.220 --> 01:04:40.980
And then there was this one And then oh wait, did I call it? Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. So yeah reimagining the wan hoodie

01:04:41.780 --> 01:04:47.620
the original launched all the way back in 2016 and that was basically just because I had this

01:04:47.860 --> 01:04:54.180
NVIDIA hoodie that I really liked from g8 brands and I was like, okay, I just want that but like instead of black and green

01:04:54.260 --> 01:04:57.540
I just want it orange and

01:04:57.540 --> 01:04:59.540
Then we did wan hoodie v2

01:05:00.900 --> 01:05:04.900
Which was even cooler Then was this v3?

01:05:05.460 --> 01:05:11.940
That doesn't look No, that's still v2 right to me. Yeah, we only ever did. Yeah, here we go. And so this

01:05:12.340 --> 01:05:18.500
Finally is v3 man. It's a really nice garment. So there's the uh, there's the hexagonal

01:05:19.060 --> 01:05:24.420
Draw cords. Here's the here's the original pole. So we pulled you guys you decided

01:05:25.380 --> 01:05:30.340
You wanted accurate WAN Show colors rather than og wan v1 with LTT orange accent

01:05:30.980 --> 01:05:36.180
And look how good it looks Yeah, is that awesome or what? Yeah, okay

01:05:37.060 --> 01:05:45.940
Uh, what was I supposed to be doing? Oh, yeah, let's go gambling right so there's been some discussion that the promo that we're running right now is gambling

01:05:46.340 --> 01:05:51.380
The promo that we are running right now is not gambling the promo we're running right now is a sweepstakes

01:05:51.460 --> 01:05:56.340
And it's a perfectly normal thing for a retailer to do and it's it's it's also not a

01:05:56.980 --> 01:06:00.260
Gambling disguised as sweepstakes. It's just actually a sweepstakes

01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:04.580
um As is required by law

01:06:05.220 --> 01:06:11.380
It is open to people who do not place a purchase. Here's all the instructions and everything like that

01:06:12.100 --> 01:06:16.980
But no, it's a sweepstakes. You make an order for the amount you are entered to win a sweepstakes

01:06:17.300 --> 01:06:21.540
And that's a perfectly reasonable thing. It's not gambling because what you're doing is you are buying a product

01:06:22.020 --> 01:06:26.260
And you are going to get the product. There is no outcome where you just lose all your money

01:06:26.900 --> 01:06:31.300
It is not gambling Y'all need to relax

01:06:32.020 --> 01:06:34.260
We we are still anti gambling

01:06:35.620 --> 01:06:41.220
Uh hamnetx says please make the mandatory sweepstakes skill testing question answer luv

01:06:44.260 --> 01:06:51.940
Question what is the basword? I love it. Uh, okay. What was the rest of this merch message? Let's go gambling as

01:06:52.500 --> 01:06:57.780
video content creators How long did it take for y'all to get used to your faces being on camera?

01:06:57.940 --> 01:07:01.300
And how did you figure out what to do with your face when you're not talking?

01:07:01.940 --> 01:07:05.780
Oh, my understanding is you mouth along with the prompter

01:07:06.500 --> 01:07:10.500
Thank you for that down. That's very helpful. I'm trying really hard not to do it

01:07:11.060 --> 01:07:14.020
I couldn't imagine it's difficult

01:07:14.740 --> 01:07:19.540
Thanks for that. Um, I just he just has to be he has to be the one talking

01:07:19.620 --> 01:07:23.860
So even when he can't be the one talking, oh, and it's in the wrong spot as close as possible. It's in the wrong spot

01:07:23.860 --> 01:07:25.860
You got to move it back. You got to move it back

01:07:27.940 --> 01:07:31.860
It's in the wrong thing. There we go. Nice. Nice solid. Um

01:07:33.220 --> 01:07:36.020
Man, it took me a really long time like I

01:07:36.900 --> 01:07:43.940
Never had really had to edit my own videos. So I I didn't really get used to that. I never watched them because I

01:07:44.900 --> 01:07:51.620
like filmed them and um, I didn't have time to do any kind of qa in the earlier days, which sometimes

01:07:52.260 --> 01:07:54.900
Caused problems as you guys probably well know

01:07:55.460 --> 01:08:01.620
um What I think I've only really gotten used to it over the last few years when I've

01:08:02.340 --> 01:08:11.620
Watched a lot more of our videos for qa Um beyond that like I and even now like when show in particular when Yvonne puts on when show next to me

01:08:11.620 --> 01:08:18.100
I'm like bro turn that off Like I can't I can't listen to my voice for an extended period of time like that

01:08:18.580 --> 01:08:24.820
especially at like 2x Like oh man, I don't know how she doesn't I'm like, I'm right here if you want to talk to me

01:08:24.900 --> 01:08:29.300
I'm right here. She's like, yeah, but I'm trying to like catch up on what you were talking about before. I'm like

01:08:30.740 --> 01:08:35.860
Just ask me. I'll be I'll happily talk to you rather than listen to me talk to you

01:08:36.740 --> 01:08:40.740
please How about you?

01:08:41.220 --> 01:08:46.420
Uh Was it was the core of the question like what is it like seeing yourself on camera? I don't care

01:08:46.900 --> 01:08:52.020
I don't get juiced up by it. I it also doesn't affect me like I remember when I first started i'm talking like

01:08:52.660 --> 01:08:59.780
What whatever I don't even know what year was at this point Uh, whatever line is when I first started working together. I remember him commenting that like

01:09:00.260 --> 01:09:05.220
Hearing himself is very odd. I think I was editing a video and I had it on speakers or something and he was like

01:09:05.700 --> 01:09:09.300
Like listen with headphones like I don't want to hear myself and I was like what

01:09:09.940 --> 01:09:14.100
Like why why do you care? Like it never mattered to me at all

01:09:15.140 --> 01:09:20.980
And then I I was actually like somewhat surprised when later on I figured out that that's like a thing for a lot of people

01:09:21.060 --> 01:09:29.540
And I was the weird one Yeah, you're the freak got him. I guess it just it it has never bothered me. I it also like

01:09:31.220 --> 01:09:35.780
I don't know. It's just he just likes the sound of his own voice. He just likes the sound of his own voice

01:09:36.100 --> 01:09:39.060
No, no, it's in the wrong spot again. It's also thank you. Thank you. Oh, he's

01:09:39.780 --> 01:09:42.500
He saw you reach for it. I saw you reach for it

01:09:44.580 --> 01:09:46.580
Nice

01:09:48.020 --> 01:09:50.020
Should get one for den nice assist

01:09:51.940 --> 01:09:53.940
Because that was a nice assist

01:09:55.700 --> 01:09:57.700
dopamine

01:10:02.180 --> 01:10:08.420
Um All right, what are we supposed to be doing right now? Are you more topic? Yeah, let's do some more topics

01:10:08.500 --> 01:10:11.940
What do you want to talk? What do you want to talk about luke? What are we going on over here?

01:10:12.020 --> 01:10:14.340
I don't know. It was a heck of a week for youtube. We could talk about that

01:10:15.140 --> 01:10:20.900
YouTube appeared to be ramping up its focus on paid memberships this week after several users on the LTT subreddit

01:10:21.220 --> 01:10:27.860
Reported that they when they clicked on a video they were met with pop-up ads for the feature that had to be closed

01:10:28.020 --> 01:10:37.140
Before playback could begin that's Very annoying, especially because we disabled it at significant cost to us. Oh, this is interesting

01:10:37.220 --> 01:10:40.980
I'm so sorry. I'm about to derail us. Look at that. Cool. I'm so surprised

01:10:41.460 --> 01:10:45.460
I was I was I didn't think it would be a ton

01:10:46.340 --> 01:10:51.940
But I didn't think it would be zero Disabling youtube memberships caused literally

01:10:52.820 --> 01:10:55.940
zero of our old members to migrate over to Floatplane

01:10:56.740 --> 01:11:02.500
And we we had a theory back back when we enabled youtube memberships in the first place

01:11:02.900 --> 01:11:07.140
It was our strong belief that it would probably be mostly incremental

01:11:07.540 --> 01:11:11.780
The people that we're going to subscribe on Floatplane were we're going to do that

01:11:12.100 --> 01:11:16.660
And the people that we're going to do it on youtube were only interested in using a payment method

01:11:16.660 --> 01:11:20.580
They already have with a platform. They already use and

01:11:20.580 --> 01:11:28.020
I was uh I wasn't surprised that you know, we didn't just migrate everybody over from youtube memberships to Floatplane

01:11:28.580 --> 01:11:33.780
I was surprised that it appears to have been Literally zero. Um, so yeah, that was uh

01:11:34.740 --> 01:11:40.660
That was a downer It had been communicated for a long time that like the better experience was on Floatplane

01:11:40.660 --> 01:11:45.860
Like the the the advertising was pretty in your face about that. So I think most people that

01:11:47.060 --> 01:11:49.060
Would have moved over had moved over

01:11:51.060 --> 01:11:54.020
Yeah, I mean I had a conversation with with some creators today

01:11:54.740 --> 01:12:00.020
talking about They were asking the question of like if we had an external platform

01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:06.260
Should we turn on youtube monetization? And I I lamented about how annoying it is having the youtube

01:12:06.980 --> 01:12:13.300
Not youtube monetization. Sorry youtube memberships Yeah, I lamented about how annoying it was to have the memberships thing shoved in your face all the time

01:12:13.300 --> 01:12:17.300
But I was like if you don't care about that then theoretically yes

01:12:17.540 --> 01:12:20.820
Because there is a relatively large amount of people that just will

01:12:21.540 --> 01:12:28.980
Not leave the primary platform whether that primary platform is youtube or twitch or cake or whatever their thing is that they're watching content on

01:12:29.140 --> 01:12:33.380
There will be nothing that will get them off of that platform. Most people that use the internet

01:12:34.580 --> 01:12:39.220
Use like a very small amount of websites and do not go out of that circle

01:12:39.940 --> 01:12:43.780
Yeah, you've talked about that before it's kind of wild, but it's so true

01:12:44.420 --> 01:12:49.700
Yeah, like I I mean not gonna lie my my safari right now

01:12:50.500 --> 01:12:55.380
has let's see five tabs

01:12:55.380 --> 01:13:00.660
And those five tabs are probably most of what I look at on a on a typical day

01:13:01.700 --> 01:13:06.580
yep Got LTT Store LTT forum LTT subreddit

01:13:07.300 --> 01:13:09.300
LTT Store analytics

01:13:12.260 --> 01:13:14.260
And i'm tracking gold pricing

01:13:16.100 --> 01:13:18.100
And even and normally it would be down to four

01:13:20.180 --> 01:13:22.900
Are you doing the tracking of gold pricing on?

01:13:23.700 --> 01:13:29.380
um Like a google thing. Nope gold price dot org. Oh, okay. Yeah

01:13:31.140 --> 01:13:37.780
Um Hold on where where were we at? Oh, yeah, right. So yeah, so that and so for me

01:13:38.340 --> 01:13:43.300
It was just a little bit Frustrating to have people upset at us again

01:13:43.940 --> 01:13:47.220
about this memberships thing when we actually took a very

01:13:48.180 --> 01:13:53.940
Measurable financial hit to have youtube stop harassing our viewers about memberships

01:13:54.500 --> 01:13:57.860
so for them to have a bug that went and like

01:13:58.340 --> 01:14:05.540
Like put LTT memberships in people's faces again when we already had turned them off and it wasn't even an option to subscribe to them

01:14:06.340 --> 01:14:11.540
Really sucked. It was like it was the insult to injury that I was not into

01:14:13.380 --> 01:14:15.780
Not into it's kind of funny

01:14:18.100 --> 01:14:22.980
Yeah, I mean it's a little bit funny. Maybe we do we have it's a it's a little funny

01:14:22.980 --> 01:14:27.700
We had thousands of youtube members. It was like tens of thousands of dollars of revenue a year luke

01:14:28.820 --> 01:14:33.300
I don't I don't think that part's funny. I just think right well then tell me the funny part luke

01:14:33.860 --> 01:14:37.540
I think it's funny that you turned it off and then it got shoved in your face anyways

01:14:37.620 --> 01:14:43.460
I think that's funny. I can appreciate the irony, but that doesn't mean I have to agree that it's funny

01:14:44.340 --> 01:14:47.060
I can appreciate an unpleasant irony

01:14:48.180 --> 01:14:55.700
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe I'll laugh about it soon Maybe I'll laugh about it once youtube fixes the memberships feature and makes it so I can control the promotion

01:14:55.700 --> 01:14:59.780
And we can turn it back on and we can build it back up. Maybe then I'll think it's funny

01:15:00.260 --> 01:15:02.820
Do you think that's coming? I don't know I

01:15:03.460 --> 01:15:07.460
Look if I thought that it was coming on it on the near horizon

01:15:08.020 --> 01:15:10.580
It would just let I wouldn't have turned it off. Mm-hmm

01:15:11.060 --> 01:15:15.540
It's convincing people to resubscribe will take time. Oh, dude. It'll take freaking forever

01:15:16.180 --> 01:15:19.780
like that That's just yeah, that's just like

01:15:20.420 --> 01:15:23.620
Gone forever now. So very frustrating

01:15:26.500 --> 01:15:30.100
Yeah, I'm area agreed. It would be super. How many other people

01:15:30.580 --> 01:15:37.380
Turned it off. I I know of like one other creator like it was was it just us and them and that's it. Yeah, I think so

01:15:38.660 --> 01:15:40.820
Because at a certain point like are we even helping?

01:15:42.500 --> 01:15:46.900
I don't know luke sometimes it's not a matter of helping or not helping. I think it's just

01:15:47.540 --> 01:15:53.860
Principles well, I don't even think I'm not even gonna. I'm not even gonna say that this is like a principled stand or anything

01:15:53.860 --> 01:15:58.100
What it is is it's just simple our audience really didn't like it

01:15:59.140 --> 01:16:05.620
And at the end of the day, I mean you've been there in the in the recent meetings that we've had sort of talking about our

01:16:05.940 --> 01:16:11.540
Our company core values, right and one of our core values is the audience is our guide

01:16:12.180 --> 01:16:15.620
And so how do we how do we live our core values?

01:16:15.620 --> 01:16:20.340
How do we say with a straight face that we live our core values if we

01:16:20.900 --> 01:16:24.980
Take a bunch of feedback that is showing up in our inboxes. It's showing up on the forum

01:16:24.980 --> 01:16:29.140
It's showing up on the subreddit It's showing up in the youtube comments that people are saying hey

01:16:29.140 --> 01:16:32.900
I really don't like the way this membership's feature is getting crammed down my throat

01:16:33.460 --> 01:16:37.860
So how do we say that the audience is our guide if we ignore feedback like that we can't

01:16:40.980 --> 01:16:45.860
Yeah And that ties into like uh one kind of ties into one of our one of our other ones

01:16:45.940 --> 01:16:52.180
The listen before you lead is another one of our I don't know if that's I don't know if that's entirely fair all the time though because

01:16:52.820 --> 01:16:58.260
if you Blindly listen to the audience at every single point regardless of cost

01:16:58.980 --> 01:17:04.260
Then you wouldn't have ads on anything. But that's why it's guides because they love those. That's why it's guide

01:17:04.660 --> 01:17:09.860
But yeah, but that's what I'm saying is like it with with some users complaining that doesn't mean that you just have to do it

01:17:10.260 --> 01:17:17.380
Well, the but it wasn't just some users It was a lot and and I agreed. That's that's that's a huge thing, right? There you go

01:17:17.460 --> 01:17:21.940
You gotta you gotta apply a filter. I agree. It's annoying and we had people

01:17:22.900 --> 01:17:25.940
I'm not I'm not talking about this specific case. I'm not saying like we should turn it back on

01:17:25.940 --> 01:17:28.580
I'm just saying and I'm speaking generally

01:17:29.060 --> 01:17:35.220
We have to try to put ourselves sparked by this game We've got to try to put ourselves in the position of a viewer and kind of go okay

01:17:35.220 --> 01:17:39.220
Yeah, like do I have any intention of subscribing to this? Okay, then why is it cluttering up my interface?

01:17:39.620 --> 01:17:43.940
It was really annoying for me. I know like I I am a premium subscriber to youtube

01:17:44.500 --> 01:17:48.100
LTT funny enough gets a decent amount of money from me

01:17:49.380 --> 01:17:54.580
From my premium. I it was everywhere. It was it was honestly very annoying

01:17:56.020 --> 01:18:00.020
At the very least like let premium people be like, you know, I don't want to see this

01:18:00.340 --> 01:18:07.860
Yeah, well and that was part of the literally ads all over my screen when I pay to not see ads all over my screen

01:18:07.940 --> 01:18:11.380
And that was part of the feedback I gave to youtube as well as I don't think premium

01:18:11.700 --> 01:18:18.100
I don't think premium members or not members. Excuse me premium subscribers should be seeing this. I don't yeah

01:18:18.580 --> 01:18:22.980
I don't think it's necessary and And at the very least

01:18:22.980 --> 01:18:30.020
Give me the creator Control over that like if I want to spam people who have premium by telling them about, you know

01:18:30.100 --> 01:18:32.820
YouTube memberships or whatever then that's that that's

01:18:33.380 --> 01:18:36.580
That's on me at that point then if I alienate the audience

01:18:36.980 --> 01:18:38.980
But don't do that on my behalf

01:18:40.180 --> 01:18:43.380
Then I have no control over you harassing

01:18:44.020 --> 01:18:47.460
The audience to buy something on my behalf. I don't like that

01:18:48.340 --> 01:18:54.260
so So, I mean and we we had an earlier version of our of our of our

01:18:55.060 --> 01:18:59.060
What are they called again core? Corpillars core

01:18:59.060 --> 01:19:05.140
That's the thing the font Core values core values. Thank you. Thank you. We had an earlier version of our core values

01:19:05.140 --> 01:19:11.940
That was the audience is the boss And we got some pushback internally when we did like focus groups and stuff

01:19:12.420 --> 01:19:16.500
And that was my that was my wording was the audience is the boss and I think

01:19:17.140 --> 01:19:24.660
I think where we got a bit of a disconnect internally between some people and sort of my interpretation of that is I always took

01:19:24.980 --> 01:19:34.580
My boss's instructions as sort of guidelines I was I was not a very good employee in the sense that I just did exactly what I was told and followed orders

01:19:35.540 --> 01:19:40.500
Like I always kind of I've talked about the story of uh, how we you know, LTT

01:19:40.900 --> 01:19:46.020
Our ncix tech tips started in the first place. It was only when he asked me the second or third time

01:19:46.100 --> 01:19:49.700
I can't remember exactly how many times it was But the first time he asked me to start a youtube channel

01:19:49.700 --> 01:19:52.660
I ignored him because a lot of the time he would give me

01:19:53.540 --> 01:19:59.940
Waste of time busy work that wasn't necessary And if I just didn't do it and I did stuff that added more value to the company

01:20:00.100 --> 01:20:04.500
Then I'd get promotions faster and I'd get paid more so I would just ignore stupid assignments

01:20:04.740 --> 01:20:10.100
So it wasn't until he gave me this stupid assignment multiple times that I kind of went. Okay, fine. I'll do it

01:20:10.580 --> 01:20:15.460
Um, but that was always my approach. So to me audiences the boss meant

01:20:16.340 --> 01:20:22.020
That it gives me instructions and that I rely upon it for the gainful employment that I enjoy

01:20:22.660 --> 01:20:28.900
But just because it tells me something doesn't mean that I absolutely do that. It means I have to apply a common sense filter

01:20:30.660 --> 01:20:35.620
But I've always been a little stubborn bullheaded

01:20:36.100 --> 01:20:40.020
Uh, whatever let's let's not get into the words to describe Linus right now. It's not necessary

01:20:41.140 --> 01:20:46.580
um Sure, and I can see how that word could be

01:20:47.860 --> 01:20:55.860
Really intimidating Or could could put other people in an uncomfortable place, especially when the audience is this

01:20:56.900 --> 01:21:04.740
nebulous Faceted entity that out of one side of its mouth right because it's made up of many people

01:21:05.060 --> 01:21:10.180
Can be telling you this is the greatest video I've ever seen and then out of the other side of its mouth at the exact same time

01:21:10.180 --> 01:21:16.100
You have two comments one after the other. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. This is trash. You should probably retire

01:21:16.660 --> 01:21:21.140
Right. How do you deal with that? I can't believe new new LTT is like this

01:21:21.140 --> 01:21:26.660
They've lost the old ways and then another comment saying I've been waiting so long for an old

01:21:27.220 --> 01:21:30.340
uh video like this

01:21:30.500 --> 01:21:34.980
Yeah, and like and yeah, oh, I think a great example of this is stuff like the craigslist

01:21:35.700 --> 01:21:40.900
Video wall right or that that $30,000 cooler that uh, charles fugger

01:21:41.700 --> 01:21:49.620
brought up here is like Right back to back. You'll it's very polarizing right you'll have people saying like this is classic LTT

01:21:49.700 --> 01:21:55.220
I love it. They're goofing around with like cool stuff that nobody else would get a chance to get their hands on and we can enjoy it

01:21:55.300 --> 01:22:01.700
Vicariously through them and then the next one it'll be oh look it's millionaire line is showing off his rich kid toys again

01:22:02.820 --> 01:22:05.460
Where's their more down-to-earth content and it's like

01:22:06.420 --> 01:22:11.460
How do I how do I build a content plan around that right and so I can understand why internally

01:22:12.500 --> 01:22:18.740
People were looking at it going like okay boss feels like a really strong word and I wouldn't want a boss like that

01:22:19.140 --> 01:22:26.020
So after much deliberation we settled on guide, you know more like a lighthouse

01:22:26.580 --> 01:22:30.580
It's it's a point that we can use for navigation

01:22:31.380 --> 01:22:35.300
But if we go right toward it, we're gonna end up in the rocks. You know what I mean?

01:22:38.580 --> 01:22:44.900
Enigma blade says I'm a lighthouse. Thank you enigma blade and flow plane chat appreciate you

01:22:49.620 --> 01:22:52.660
Um, what are we supposed to be talking about right now? Oh, yeah, right?

01:22:52.820 --> 01:22:58.100
You were in the middle of it's been a heck of a week for youtube and I totally went off on a long side quest

01:22:58.820 --> 01:23:02.260
Yeah, I have no idea how far I got into it. Uh, I think one line

01:23:03.300 --> 01:23:07.380
Probably I'm just gonna redo it because I think that was genuinely like 20 minutes

01:23:08.100 --> 01:23:14.180
YouTube appeared to be ramping up its focus on paid memberships this week after several users on the LTT subreddit reported

01:23:14.340 --> 01:23:21.140
That when they clicked a video they were met with pop-up ads for the feature that had to be closed before playback could begin

01:23:21.140 --> 01:23:27.140
Which is like obviously incredibly annoying LTT writers reached out to youtube and they told us it was a bug

01:23:27.860 --> 01:23:32.900
Which okay, doesn't seem way too bad then I guess an annoying bug, but hopefully that doesn't keep going

01:23:33.380 --> 01:23:39.540
YouTuber enderman had his entire channel terminated after the platform mistakenly connected him to a different channel

01:23:39.700 --> 01:23:46.500
That had received three copyright strikes enderman appealed the account termination and it was obvious that no human had actually reviewed it

01:23:46.820 --> 01:23:52.500
Uh, which led to him tweeting about it Garnering attention and eventually getting the decision

01:23:53.300 --> 01:23:59.300
reversed YouTube took down multiple videos by youtuber cyber CPU

01:23:59.780 --> 01:24:04.820
Cyber CPU tech sorry, uh, that worked around Windows 11's installation restrictions

01:24:05.060 --> 01:24:11.620
Initially youtube rejected his appeal claiming his content was in violation of its harmful or dangerous content policy

01:24:11.940 --> 01:24:19.140
Since garnering a bunch of attention cyber CPU tech has had his videos restored and youtube denies that the removal had anything to do

01:24:20.020 --> 01:24:23.940
with automation Okay, so then

01:24:23.940 --> 01:24:26.980
Did they explain why a human moderator removed it?

01:24:27.620 --> 01:24:34.100
probably not This is a question in an environment where ai is increasingly being used to moderate content

01:24:34.340 --> 01:24:37.140
How do you think LMG's videos may need to change?

01:24:37.700 --> 01:24:43.220
Well, I can tell you already. I don't go full karma get in when i'm playing cyberpunk on camera

01:24:44.740 --> 01:24:47.860
Yeah, but that's more around their policies. We talked about it last week

01:24:49.060 --> 01:24:55.460
But uh, I'm sure if that was on the show yeah mass violence against civilians is uh, no longer kosher NVIDIA games

01:24:55.700 --> 01:25:02.260
um for youtube uploads So we're just so i'm just gonna i'm just gonna walk around pacifist style

01:25:03.060 --> 01:25:12.420
and um Only pull a gun on the cops if they pull a gun on me that that's my line. That's my line in cyberpunk in cyberpunk

01:25:14.900 --> 01:25:17.540
Um, this is really annoying in my craft

01:25:18.900 --> 01:25:22.100
Okay, we often

01:25:22.180 --> 01:25:27.540
Very often luke and I will kind of go off on like microsoft teams being kind of a steaming pile of

01:25:28.420 --> 01:25:33.220
And we will get people just all the time baffled and confused in the comments

01:25:33.300 --> 01:25:36.580
Like how could you ever say anything negative about my weird purple baby?

01:25:37.220 --> 01:25:43.380
And this is the kind of thing that i'm talking about. Okay, so let's get on the

01:25:43.940 --> 01:25:49.220
On the bug the bug where you schedule a message and it shows up as sent. Don't worry. I'm coming to schedule messages

01:25:49.540 --> 01:25:53.620
Okay, so on my teams right now. I have the one and only

01:25:54.180 --> 01:25:58.580
Sarah butt, okay I wanted to send her a message. Hold on

01:26:00.740 --> 01:26:10.020
I wanted to send her a message Um that says lighthouse pin for audiences our guide. I really don't know how well this is gonna work. Um

01:26:11.540 --> 01:26:16.020
Yeah, that's not whatever the point is I wanted to send her a message lighthouse pin audiences our guide

01:26:16.340 --> 01:26:22.420
I'm right clicking on send Right because I would like to schedule the message because it's you know pretty late on a friday

01:26:22.420 --> 01:26:27.380
I don't think she's in office right now and says you'll be able to schedule messages

01:26:28.260 --> 01:26:32.340
Uh, yes, I've talked about this on my show before after you send your first message

01:26:33.060 --> 01:26:41.300
That's what this error says You can clearly see last week when I sent her sir ability or I asked for ability

01:26:41.460 --> 01:26:45.940
Oh, no, because I emailed her sir ability to can and she teams me back

01:26:46.500 --> 01:26:51.380
Sir ability to can with his top hat and I was like oh and g chat loves it

01:26:52.980 --> 01:26:55.140
We have clearly corresponded before

01:26:57.380 --> 01:27:00.820
So in conclusion steams

01:27:00.820 --> 01:27:08.260
I steams teams. Actually, I like that. Can we can we switch to just calling it steams in conclusion steams

01:27:08.340 --> 01:27:12.020
I think it's too close to steam. So people won't like it. Oh, man

01:27:13.540 --> 01:27:15.540
Irritating

01:27:17.300 --> 01:27:23.220
Steaming pile, uh, so yeah, so now luke I'm going to send an email

01:27:25.940 --> 01:27:30.340
And that will only make sense to the people

01:27:30.340 --> 01:27:35.540
Who watched the pre-show? I don't like that and I'm right to do it

01:27:36.420 --> 01:27:39.860
In this case you are but it's so annoying. It's like, okay, so that

01:27:41.300 --> 01:27:46.260
It's funny that that bug exists because that shouldn't be a thing in the first place

01:27:46.660 --> 01:27:54.500
You should absolutely be able to schedule messages to people in your own freaking or in your or haven't sent them a message before

01:27:54.580 --> 01:27:56.580
We're talking within the same org

01:27:57.620 --> 01:28:01.380
That's that's so crazy, man. Like it's so stupid

01:28:02.020 --> 01:28:04.660
So I have I have literally sent emails before

01:28:05.300 --> 01:28:10.260
Screenshotting that error and being like, this is stupid, but I wanted to schedule this message

01:28:10.340 --> 01:28:15.940
So here's the message. Don't respond to this email. I never want to see this email again. Respond on teams, please

01:28:18.020 --> 01:28:20.020
It's like, but come on

01:28:21.380 --> 01:28:26.260
It's so annoying Oh, man

01:28:27.940 --> 01:28:33.860
Oh lordy, all right, what are we supposed to be doing Dan? I can also I will I will also confirm in the past

01:28:34.020 --> 01:28:38.260
I think I think I said that people from google told me that they use

01:28:39.380 --> 01:28:41.860
Uh, whatever it's even called. I don't know

01:28:43.220 --> 01:28:45.220
Uh, whatever their chat is

01:28:46.580 --> 01:28:53.460
Hangouts I'm not sure on gmail chat. I don't I don't know. It's whatever that thing is called chat. Sure, whatever

01:28:54.100 --> 01:28:59.860
I I've been told that they use that and I just didn't believe it because like I know people at

01:28:59.940 --> 01:29:06.100
Microsoft that complain about teams and like kind of use slack on the side anyways. Yeah

01:29:07.380 --> 01:29:10.180
And I can confirm that at least

01:29:11.300 --> 01:29:13.780
Everyone that I saw which was multiple people

01:29:14.580 --> 01:29:20.260
were using Meet or chat or whatever the heck it's called. They were using it. So

01:29:22.340 --> 01:29:29.780
All right As of right now Sounds like they're actually doing it which is interesting to me because it sure felt like they were abandoning it

01:29:29.860 --> 01:29:31.860
Really not that long ago, but

01:29:33.300 --> 01:29:35.300
It is what it is

01:29:39.220 --> 01:29:42.260
Depends on teams github is still on slack. Yeah, that's really interesting

01:29:43.380 --> 01:29:47.940
I wonder if that's just because them migrating off of like because that was an acquired

01:29:48.500 --> 01:29:52.420
Company, right? So if if if migrating them off of slack would be a huge issue

01:29:53.060 --> 01:29:55.620
Something that I would really like to accomplish this coming year

01:29:56.500 --> 01:30:02.580
Is to simplify our setup because we right now we have slack for Floatplane. We have teams for everything else

01:30:03.860 --> 01:30:07.540
And we have not just teams, but we have office 365

01:30:08.100 --> 01:30:13.220
And we have g suite for everybody and it ends up being really expensive

01:30:15.380 --> 01:30:18.260
Meet is so far behind teams. What I don't agree

01:30:19.380 --> 01:30:24.740
Oh, oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, I do agree. I thought you were talking about just the call

01:30:25.140 --> 01:30:27.140
Why are they both called meat?

01:30:28.820 --> 01:30:31.860
The just the video call of meat is like really good

01:30:33.140 --> 01:30:37.140
I hate that it's the same name for the chat. Whatever. Anyway, sorry about that

01:30:38.660 --> 01:30:43.780
But yeah, so we use just all of them internally And I've been kind of poking around lately trying to figure out like

01:30:44.180 --> 01:30:47.620
How much of a pain it would be for different teams to lose one or the other?

01:30:47.860 --> 01:30:52.660
Like if we lost g suite or if we lost office 365 because do our subscriptions

01:30:53.140 --> 01:31:02.500
Oh, it's so expensive. Okay. We're Okay, spoiler. I'm gonna spoil something. We're finally doing it. We're finally working on how does LMG spend money?

01:31:03.140 --> 01:31:09.860
Because you guys have asked us that Every time we do how does LMG make money? You guys are like, okay neat

01:31:10.740 --> 01:31:15.620
but We've got where does it come from, but we don't know where does it go?

01:31:18.020 --> 01:31:26.580
Sorry, that was really awful How do you spend it? And so it's finally coming. We're gonna do a breakdown and

01:31:28.260 --> 01:31:32.980
While the percentage going to subscriptions is probably not gonna look that bad

01:31:33.620 --> 01:31:37.700
The the the total amount is high the sheer dollars

01:31:39.300 --> 01:31:43.460
Yeah, yes, it's it's too much. We gotta we gotta crunch that down. Um

01:31:44.660 --> 01:31:53.860
I feel a little bit vindicated about this I think it's gonna be harder to get off of g suite than it will to be get off to get off of office office 365

01:31:54.260 --> 01:31:58.020
Although part of that reasoning um

01:31:58.020 --> 01:32:01.940
So basically there's just a few teams that I've talked to and they're like dude if I lose drive

01:32:02.580 --> 01:32:06.980
My life is over. Um And I I really don't think

01:32:07.380 --> 01:32:10.500
One drive and share Share

01:32:10.500 --> 01:32:16.180
Point is that the whatever? I really don't think those are like a suitable replacement for

01:32:17.220 --> 01:32:22.500
Drive, I have to confess. I haven't played around with one drive that much recently

01:32:22.820 --> 01:32:26.660
But the way that drives user interface has degraded over the years

01:32:27.300 --> 01:32:34.020
Maybe it's not that far off anymore. This is a huge part of my point. Yeah, I mean, is it time for us to consider like, um

01:32:34.420 --> 01:32:39.060
Oh, what's their nuts? Um They always they always send me emails

01:32:39.860 --> 01:32:49.620
What one of my issues is There there doesn't really seem like there's actually a whole solution for everything. Um, like I know, um

01:32:50.980 --> 01:32:54.500
Again that company that asked about the passwords. I'm still not gonna disclose who it was

01:32:54.740 --> 01:33:02.100
I asked them what they use and they were like, oh, yeah I mean we use g suite slack and and uh office 365 and I was like, oh, okay

01:33:02.660 --> 01:33:06.500
Oh, yeah, it seems like we're not the only one stuck in this. Oh, yeah next cloud next cloud. That's the one

01:33:06.580 --> 01:33:10.340
Thank you monster and Floatplane chat. I mean, is it time to explore that?

01:33:11.060 --> 01:33:14.260
You want to move email

01:33:14.260 --> 01:33:17.940
Not really. No, I don't want all of our drives. No, I don't want to

01:33:20.020 --> 01:33:22.420
Ah, it just looks like so much work

01:33:23.620 --> 01:33:27.380
Dude migrating migrating, uh a g suite drive

01:33:28.420 --> 01:33:32.420
To a g suite drive Is a nightmare

01:33:32.420 --> 01:33:39.700
Let alone anywhere else Um, but but then you run into other issues where like, you know next cloud or g suite or whatever

01:33:39.780 --> 01:33:45.460
None of them are going to do this Microsoft ad is just fantastic for a bunch of different things

01:33:45.940 --> 01:33:49.380
And then to authenticate with that properly, Dan, you can correct me here. Don't you need

01:33:49.860 --> 01:33:54.740
Uh Some license from microsoft. Oh you need so many licenses

01:33:55.540 --> 01:34:02.900
Yeah, so like you just kind of get stuck with like everything. Yeah, and the alternative is you can cancel a subscription

01:34:03.300 --> 01:34:08.100
But then you're like actually going to lower your productivity of all your users and not just that

01:34:08.260 --> 01:34:13.780
But you're going to lower their morale conrads in the full plane chat right now saying no, let me have my google drive

01:34:13.860 --> 01:34:19.060
It's so painless. And you know what? I experienced the exact same thing at ncix

01:34:19.540 --> 01:34:22.100
Because we had our own internal email

01:34:22.740 --> 01:34:25.460
And then we switched to gmail

01:34:26.020 --> 01:34:30.500
And it was a time of gloriousness because that was back when gmail was really good and the search was really good

01:34:30.900 --> 01:34:38.020
And then we migrated back to our internal email with just like a re skin to make it look more like gmail

01:34:38.740 --> 01:34:45.140
And there were riots in the streets And I was I was one of them. I was on the leadership team, but I had nothing to do with this decision

01:34:45.220 --> 01:34:52.900
And I was like, I freaking hate this I am worth the seven dollars a month or whatever it was back then to have proper working even

01:34:53.140 --> 01:34:55.220
It's not seven dollars a month anymore. Well, I know

01:34:56.980 --> 01:35:00.260
And one thing that really okay, so I had basically just

01:35:00.820 --> 01:35:04.900
Resigned to like, I mean, okay, so urban fervor and chat is saying this is so ironic

01:35:04.980 --> 01:35:10.580
Our company is in the middle of migrating from g suite office 365 and it has not been going well

01:35:11.300 --> 01:35:18.820
Some other people are posting similar things guys next cloud. I actually think is super cool, but migrating to them is

01:35:20.020 --> 01:35:23.300
It's not like, you know, the problem is migrating stuff is insane

01:35:23.780 --> 01:35:30.260
And there are certain features that are difficult to replace once we're already in this spot. Anyways, I'm not next cloud is great

01:35:30.340 --> 01:35:34.340
I'm not talking bad against next cloud Um, but

01:35:35.220 --> 01:35:40.260
Yeah, we just we just get entrenched. There's there's too many things that are too good that they're worth paying for it

01:35:40.340 --> 01:35:43.060
Anyways, even though we're not using most of their offerings

01:35:43.700 --> 01:35:48.340
And I had previously resigned to like whatever it's worth it per employee

01:35:48.660 --> 01:35:51.620
We're just not going to talk about this anymore. But it's so much now

01:35:52.260 --> 01:36:00.980
And then g suite I I had like fought with someone over there for a while being like I do not want your ai features

01:36:01.060 --> 01:36:07.540
I don't care how much you discount it. I like I don't want this. We're not taking it. We're not paying for ai features

01:36:07.620 --> 01:36:10.260
Go away. Um, and I finally got through to them

01:36:10.980 --> 01:36:14.100
So we didn't subscribe to their ai features and then now

01:36:14.900 --> 01:36:16.900
You just have to

01:36:18.180 --> 01:36:22.820
It's just bundled in have fun And it's like man, I

01:36:23.060 --> 01:36:31.060
I don't want this. Um So then I was like, hey, well now it's like really expensive per user

01:36:31.140 --> 01:36:34.340
Yeah, it would be really nice to lower this cost for the company

01:36:34.580 --> 01:36:39.140
Let's evaluate it again and we look into it and we just come back to the same conclusion again

01:36:39.220 --> 01:36:44.100
It's almost like they're charging this much because they know they've got you by the yep

01:36:45.380 --> 01:36:48.900
Nostrils Yeah, sure. We'll go with that one

01:36:48.900 --> 01:36:52.500
Um, but it's it's frustrating man. I wish I wish

01:36:52.900 --> 01:36:57.140
Microsoft does everything, but they don't seem to do almost any of it all that well

01:36:57.940 --> 01:37:00.820
Google doesn't do enough of things

01:37:01.860 --> 01:37:07.220
and They do a few things like really well and they do other things like

01:37:07.860 --> 01:37:10.900
Really poorly if we had just never migrated to teams

01:37:11.620 --> 01:37:17.940
Yes, like I think we probably would have just still been using chat and it probably would have been fine

01:37:18.020 --> 01:37:21.380
Because the nice thing about it was you only had one search window

01:37:21.860 --> 01:37:26.580
That's the killer for me is that I have to the more applications we use

01:37:27.220 --> 01:37:33.060
The more search fields I have to type something into to figure out. Yeah, where did we talk about that?

01:37:33.700 --> 01:37:39.300
Was it on email? Was it posted on air table? Was it posted in teams? Was it

01:37:40.180 --> 01:37:44.260
What are you freaking in a google doc? Like when you're searching for something

01:37:45.060 --> 01:37:48.260
Like if I'm because like the way that my memory works a lot of the time

01:37:48.260 --> 01:37:53.700
It's like cues like I I don't remember what someone said in the email, but I know we were talking about

01:37:54.500 --> 01:37:59.220
Yeti's You know or whatever. So I'll be like, okay. Yeah, I remember I remember the word yeti was in there

01:37:59.220 --> 01:38:03.620
So I searched my email for like yeti because I'm trying to remember or like some product, you know

01:38:03.940 --> 01:38:09.700
Gigabyte motherboard like oh no, that's no it's not there. Maybe maybe it was in teams. So I throw it into my team's search

01:38:10.420 --> 01:38:14.580
No, it wasn't there either like okay. Maybe it was on an air table to a card or something

01:38:14.660 --> 01:38:20.900
So I searched for it on air table It's like this tedious process of going and trying to find something because you know around here

01:38:20.900 --> 01:38:25.140
We have a hundred projects going at any given time. Yeah, I can't be expected to remember

01:38:25.620 --> 01:38:33.940
Everything about every single one of them from start to completion So so a lot so you just you waste these cycles going back and trying to re-reference materials

01:38:34.020 --> 01:38:38.500
And if you don't know where to find them it can be really frustrating and back when we were on hangouts in gmail

01:38:38.980 --> 01:38:43.780
You would just there was one search bar and it would search both of them at the same time and it was really convenient

01:38:44.260 --> 01:38:50.100
um But the more services that we've integrated and I understand there's reasons that we've done it like when we added trello

01:38:50.180 --> 01:38:56.580
For instance the more places there have been to go find the single source of truth and air table has been a help there

01:38:57.140 --> 01:39:05.060
but it's Still not a perfect silver bullet because it is still separate and we'll we'll keep making it better

01:39:05.060 --> 01:39:09.140
But it will still never be perfect. Yeah, and none and none of these things will be perfect

01:39:09.140 --> 01:39:13.460
But I really don't like the fragmentation that we have. I also really don't like that like

01:39:15.380 --> 01:39:17.380
No matter what we like say

01:39:18.900 --> 01:39:25.700
These programs are very invasive So like even if we say like hey, I know we have

01:39:27.380 --> 01:39:33.700
Office 365 we don't use their email. We don't use their calendar. We don't use one drive

01:39:33.860 --> 01:39:40.340
We don't use all these things to please keep it in google Um, we can say that but if you work in word or whatever

01:39:40.340 --> 01:39:48.420
It's going to try to prompt you to save it into one drive And then people just start doing it automatically because they don't necessarily know the difference because they're they might not be tech savvy

01:39:48.420 --> 01:39:52.180
Or or whatever or that's just what they use in the previous company. So they don't even think about it

01:39:52.340 --> 01:39:57.140
It doesn't really register that they might be doing it the wrong way uh, it's uh

01:39:57.380 --> 01:40:02.020
It's a mess man. It's very frustrating. Hamnetx in Floatplane chat says hey, maybe check out x1 search

01:40:02.020 --> 01:40:07.220
It provides a unified search across microsoft teams outlook share point one drive gmail google drive and slack

01:40:07.620 --> 01:40:10.820
Wow, so cool. Why don't I get another go RAM?

01:40:11.460 --> 01:40:14.580
Subscription no, I don't want that

01:40:15.540 --> 01:40:18.340
What is it called? What is this x1.com?

01:40:20.420 --> 01:40:23.780
What an expensive that does legitimately sound very cool, but like

01:40:24.260 --> 01:40:28.340
Ah No

01:40:32.100 --> 01:40:36.100
Oh Yeah

01:40:37.700 --> 01:40:42.340
Cool Hey, oh wait. No never mind. I'm not going to say that is this per user

01:40:42.740 --> 01:40:46.180
I couldn't tell I was afraid to I was afraid to even ask

01:40:46.820 --> 01:40:48.820
I don't want to know. I don't know if it is

01:40:51.460 --> 01:40:57.460
And wouldn't they get access to literally all of your everything? I mean it kind of seems that way this thing this thing's

01:40:57.460 --> 01:40:59.460
They should pay us

01:41:00.500 --> 01:41:05.540
That's actually how much they pay you per user to be clear. You're not saying they're not trustworthy bros

01:41:06.020 --> 01:41:11.540
No, we just don't know that they are that's all that's all we're saying all we're saying

01:41:12.820 --> 01:41:19.620
Oh So, yeah, I don't know maybe just how about this

01:41:21.060 --> 01:41:23.460
Everyone watching right now. How many of you are there?

01:41:24.260 --> 01:41:29.540
So probably somewhere in the neighborhood of around 10,000. Okay, everyone watching right now go buy a wan hoodie

01:41:30.020 --> 01:41:33.060
And then I won't have to think about the subscription costs ever again

01:41:34.100 --> 01:41:36.100
It won't matter deal

01:41:37.300 --> 01:41:44.420
Yeah, I just I wish I wish like it's it's a constant extremely sharp thorn in my side. It bothers me all the time

01:41:48.180 --> 01:41:51.860
Speaking of merge messages Dan should we do a couple or what are we supposed to be doing right? Oh my god?

01:41:51.860 --> 01:41:56.900
We haven't done sponsor spots. Uh, we're gonna do the Floatplane announce and then a sponsor spot. Uh, sure

01:41:58.100 --> 01:42:04.020
Uh, oh Oh, that's the Floatplane topic not to be confused with the Floatplane announcements

01:42:05.220 --> 01:42:09.140
Yes, sammy. I will read them before sponsors. We've got three

01:42:09.940 --> 01:42:14.180
Juicy and unique offerings for you on Floatplane. We won

01:42:14.660 --> 01:42:18.340
We have an LTT video that is ready right now in early access

01:42:18.900 --> 01:42:22.100
The liquid metal in my laptop leaked and my mission

01:42:22.820 --> 01:42:28.340
Is to try to fix it and you can check that out over on the Floatplane

01:42:30.340 --> 01:42:38.260
It Was a very frustrating experience. Oh, I don't see it. Am I supposed to publish it or is what are you looking for?

01:42:38.660 --> 01:42:41.860
I'm looking for is it under Floatplane exclusives for now?

01:42:42.580 --> 01:42:50.020
No, it's not Okay, i'm what are you looking for that video the i my laptop leaked liquid metal video

01:42:50.900 --> 01:42:56.260
Oh, i'm supposed to show it in the cms. Talk about the video if you want. We also have auto captioning on Floatplane now

01:42:56.660 --> 01:43:02.500
Even for LTT videos. Okay. Yes. So i'm supposed to go into the cms. Am I supposed to go into the cms on camera?

01:43:03.300 --> 01:43:09.060
Nope, are you sure? Because sammy told me to do it. He's gonna do it luke. You've done it before

01:43:09.460 --> 01:43:13.460
Uh, but the answer is still no i'm not i'm not saying what you're going to do

01:43:13.540 --> 01:43:15.460
I'm just saying what you're supposed to do. I see

01:43:17.380 --> 01:43:20.900
Got it. Okay, release status public. There it is

01:43:22.580 --> 01:43:28.980
Uh Very much very much a downer and very much now live on Floatplane. There you have it

01:43:29.940 --> 01:43:32.820
Cool. Good chat. Number two for halloween

01:43:33.220 --> 01:43:38.660
Three staff members dressed up as yours truly as you might have seen in last week's when intro and on our socials

01:43:39.460 --> 01:43:47.220
Oh, we did a video of the entire process from makeup to clothing to my first reaction to it. Yeah, they completely

01:43:48.020 --> 01:43:55.540
Blindsided me with this open link show the stuff. Okay. Yes, sir sammy. I will follow instructions. There you go. This was

01:43:59.220 --> 01:44:07.220

01:44:08.100 --> 01:44:12.820
This is female Linus What's this?

01:44:14.020 --> 01:44:19.540
Oh, i'm just like buddy talented Linus. Yeah, don't even

01:44:21.460 --> 01:44:23.460

Um, I don't remember what I said, but i'm pretty sure i'm not cancelled. Um, nice finally

01:44:32.180 --> 01:44:39.060
Uh, we're doing a luke laffreniere q&a for our Floatplane exclusive and we want your questions

01:44:39.540 --> 01:44:42.820
I'm supposed to open the link and showcase some of the questions

Tell us the head dents story again. I forgot it

01:44:47.540 --> 01:44:51.940
Oh, yeah, I mean that's the thing about people with a dent in their head is they might forget the story too

01:44:52.340 --> 01:44:56.660
Anyway, the point is go and submit your questions for the luke q&a video

When the show is also brought to you by AMD

01:46:20.580 --> 01:46:24.020
Earlier this week. We released another AMD ultimate

01:46:24.980 --> 01:46:30.980
$5,000 tech upgrade where we upgraded john our senior test technicians setup

01:46:31.460 --> 01:46:38.340
He snagged himself a new OLED tv a racing sim setup and a big screen beyond two

01:46:38.740 --> 01:46:43.940
VR headset if you want to learn more about why he chose those items you will have to watch the video

01:46:44.580 --> 01:46:50.500
um And oh we're going completely away from talking about john's upgrade

01:46:50.820 --> 01:46:58.820
While john has stuck with his ever reliable 5700x 3d AMD recently released a 9 000 series thread rippers

01:46:59.380 --> 01:47:03.700
I mean sure going with a Threadripper could use up most of someone's ultimate upgrade budget

01:47:03.780 --> 01:47:10.260
But there are benefits especially if your computer handles heavy workloads like 3d editing 3d rendering or ai development

01:47:10.660 --> 01:47:20.980
And now this is where things get really exciting You can win one of two 9 000 series bundles each including a Threadripper CPU a compatible motherboard and a radion ai pro r 700

01:47:21.700 --> 01:47:29.860
That is a sick giveaway All you've got to do is use our link in the video description of fox nc in the chat stop

01:47:30.340 --> 01:47:34.580
It tells already dead Stop

01:47:35.700 --> 01:47:38.260
Oh lordy wow what a giveaway

01:47:39.060 --> 01:47:42.340
That's freaking awesome. Um, you know, I think there's a

01:47:42.660 --> 01:47:48.740
A correlation to Intel's performance and then and then not doing extreme rig up to upgrade anymore. You think so

01:47:49.460 --> 01:47:53.940
Yeah, I think so you think not selling enough cpus means you can't afford sponsorships

01:47:54.580 --> 01:47:59.460
No, I mean the other way around. Oh No, no, no, it was it was Intel bailed on it

01:48:02.260 --> 01:48:04.260
Why is this is my point

01:48:05.460 --> 01:48:10.180
Oh, like they they felt unworthy to have money spent on them. They were insecure

01:48:10.980 --> 01:48:17.940
I don't know what you're talking about. No that the ad like worked so well that it was making up that much of their sales

01:48:18.260 --> 01:48:20.260
Oh for AMD

01:48:27.860 --> 01:48:30.180
I might have said that horribly wrong. I don't know

01:48:32.500 --> 01:48:35.380
No, I think chats with you. All right, okay

01:48:36.100 --> 01:48:41.540
This is what happens when you flip your pillow the wrong way Linus. What are you even talking about?

01:48:42.580 --> 01:48:46.900
I think he just means you got a bad sleep and you're tired. Oh, dude viewers and listeners. This is not a bit

01:48:48.020 --> 01:48:52.580

So we've got all of the back from the dead shirts that we relaunched last week

01:49:55.620 --> 01:50:00.420
We've got the glitch shirt. We've got our awesome screensaver party shirts. We've got our underwear

01:50:00.740 --> 01:50:08.900
We've got some stuff that's great for the office some stuff That's great for lounging at home like the super soft hoodie. We still have oh do we still have some land hoodies kicking around

01:50:09.700 --> 01:50:14.340
Oh, dude, we've still got land hoodies These are freaking awesome

01:50:14.820 --> 01:50:17.380
So these are based on when v2

01:50:18.340 --> 01:50:25.380
And then the new Um, there we go new when hoodie is the v3. So it is a little more expensive

01:50:25.460 --> 01:50:29.460
But hey, you can save a bunch if you pick up a few items

01:50:30.660 --> 01:50:35.380
All right All right, Dan Dan luke

01:50:36.500 --> 01:50:38.820
Which one pick one. Okay. I really don't know what's going on

01:50:39.620 --> 01:50:42.580
Really have not slept well this week. I've been traveling a lot

01:50:43.220 --> 01:50:45.220
I mean, I shouldn't be complaining to you, but

01:50:46.580 --> 01:50:49.460
I think I think I can say that I've been traveling a lot

01:50:50.500 --> 01:50:53.060
When traveling tend to be easier than yours

01:50:53.620 --> 01:50:56.340
It has been a very very intense period

01:50:56.820 --> 01:51:03.380
I I I I I can't tell you all of the videos that I have written in the last little while but in the last three weeks

01:51:03.460 --> 01:51:06.980
I think I've probably written more LTT's like start to finish written

01:51:07.380 --> 01:51:12.260
I am heavily involved in the editing of the scripts for a lot of stuff, but

01:51:12.980 --> 01:51:18.260
Start to finish written more LTT's in the last three weeks than I had probably done in the prior

01:51:19.620 --> 01:51:25.860
Six to nine months combined like it's been very very intense. I've been really enjoying it actually

01:51:26.340 --> 01:51:32.580
It's been fun Especially because some of it's been really cool like some of these factory tours and stuff when I was overseas

01:51:33.300 --> 01:51:38.740
But it has been Extremely intense because the rest of my work doesn't go away just because I'm writing

01:51:40.660 --> 01:51:46.900
Wish it did that'd be cool That's my biggest problem with traveling is effectively the same thing

01:51:47.220 --> 01:51:51.940
It's like I I think my tasks when I'm traveling tend to be easier than yours, but I'm also

01:51:53.700 --> 01:52:00.660
stuck for Many hours of the day like today. I woke up at I think seven

01:52:01.780 --> 01:52:06.980
and Didn't do anything other than work and you know, it's 8 8 40 now

01:52:07.940 --> 01:52:11.700
That's decently common on trips because if I wasn't here I would have been

01:52:12.660 --> 01:52:16.660
At the the thing that was the following to the event that I was just at

01:52:20.100 --> 01:52:22.900
So I just I don't have time to do a lot of stuff but

01:52:23.620 --> 01:52:29.700
Work keeps moving. Yeah, so messages keep coming in. So it's it's it's tough to keep up planes can be good

01:52:29.700 --> 01:52:33.460
But my my last tin can flight. There was no in-flight Wi-Fi. So

01:52:34.340 --> 01:52:41.140
I Literally I finished reading salt sugar fat, which was that book that Wendell recommended to me about

01:52:41.620 --> 01:52:44.820
I think it's called salt sugar fat how the food industry hooked us or something like that

01:52:45.380 --> 01:52:50.260
And it's really good. It's a little dry at times, but hey, maybe if they put a little more fat on it

01:52:50.340 --> 01:52:56.260
Then it would go down a little easier So yeah, it's a little little dry, but really enlightening super cool book

01:52:56.580 --> 01:53:00.260
So I finished that because because I was I was just like sitting on the plane going like

01:53:00.980 --> 01:53:04.500
Oh my god, I have nothing to do and there's a computer under the seat in front of me like just

01:53:05.460 --> 01:53:10.500
It wasn't a super long flight, but I was like I am so bored. I no longer know how to just sit and be

01:53:10.980 --> 01:53:14.260
Oh, right. I have salt sugar fat on my Kindle. I still have like

01:53:14.740 --> 01:53:21.140
A quarter of the book left. So I read five percent of it and realized that the last 20 percent of the book was actually

01:53:21.940 --> 01:53:25.460
What what's it called? Appendices, yeah

01:53:25.460 --> 01:53:31.300
So so I finished the book in like 20 minutes and I was like, ah crap. I'm actually done now

01:53:32.020 --> 01:53:34.020
And so I was sitting there. I was like

01:53:36.180 --> 01:53:38.180
All right

01:53:39.860 --> 01:53:43.460
So I bought this And I actually hooked it in my backpack

01:53:44.100 --> 01:53:49.060
Before my trip thinking. Oh, yeah, maybe I'll read read something on paper

01:53:49.620 --> 01:53:58.420
It's just for fun the story of an accidental revolutionary It's uh Linus torvold's autobiography and I wanted to read it as homework before we do the collab with him

01:53:58.900 --> 01:54:02.100
And so I I got through about a quarter of it on the rest of my flight

01:54:02.180 --> 01:54:08.660
And then I actually realized today that we have a date for when he's going to be coming in and I I

01:54:08.900 --> 01:54:11.380
Yeah, we sure do gonna get this read. I am

01:54:12.820 --> 01:54:18.900
so Flipping excited and you're probably wondering. Hey Linus. You bought salt sugar fat on kindle

01:54:19.300 --> 01:54:22.900
Um, what's the deal with that? Why would you buy a physical book?

01:54:24.020 --> 01:54:28.340
Cuz I'm gonna get him to sign it I'm so excited

01:54:29.940 --> 01:54:32.980
Did you know I'm not there? Uh, yeah, but we're not talking about the date

01:54:34.340 --> 01:54:38.500
Okay, I I did not know that until you told me that just now and I'm super sorry for you

01:54:38.580 --> 01:54:43.780
I'm actually legitimately like extremely sorry for you because dude. I was so sad. I

01:54:44.020 --> 01:54:49.780
I I've legitimately kind of considered looking into like can I find a way to be there?

01:54:50.260 --> 01:54:54.660
Um, I I can't give more context other than that because we're not giving the date obviously, but yeah

01:54:55.380 --> 01:55:01.860
I don't think I can But I am I am a sad boy. This was like probably the one time

01:55:02.500 --> 01:55:09.700
but you know Maybe you go super well and we want to work together again. I don't we'll see. Um, I'm sorry, dude

01:55:10.260 --> 01:55:16.020
I'm I'm legitimately very sorry about that. You just you just have to do a good enough job that it happens again

01:55:16.660 --> 01:55:21.460
I'll do my best nasa moda asks. Are you nervous Linus? Um, like yes

01:55:22.020 --> 01:55:28.580
I because because I've I've only met the guy briefly on on a call. He was super nice. Um,

01:55:29.220 --> 01:55:32.500
Like unbelievably nice the fact that he's coming here

01:55:33.540 --> 01:55:37.620
blows my mind Like it's one of those things where it's like it's um

01:55:38.580 --> 01:55:41.620
Oh man, how do I put this there's like there's kind of unspoken

01:55:42.180 --> 01:55:47.220
sort of Not rules, but just like unspoken understandings and collabs

01:55:47.780 --> 01:55:50.260
Like like one party, you know

01:55:51.140 --> 01:55:53.780
Like like you can have one party. That's like clearly

01:55:54.660 --> 01:56:01.860
benefiting the other party like You know lifting them up and then you had or you could have like a collaboration between peers

01:56:02.260 --> 01:56:05.780
Or you could be the party that you know really probably needs to kind of

01:56:06.340 --> 01:56:08.900
Put in the extra work like it's um

01:56:10.260 --> 01:56:16.900
Like if I'm like if I was if I was collaborating with um, you know, let's let's use an example man who's

01:56:18.580 --> 01:56:24.020
How horrible is it that I'm trying to think of a non-controversial large youtuber and I can't

01:56:25.380 --> 01:56:27.380
What does that say about our space?

01:56:29.860 --> 01:56:34.580
Okay Uh

01:56:36.180 --> 01:56:38.660
Pewdiepie hasn't done anything recently. All right

01:56:47.620 --> 01:56:52.120
You're calling statute of limitations on the bridge Um

01:56:58.760 --> 01:57:04.600
Okay, we got some suggestions we've got some suggestions uh markiplier markiplier's one suggestion hank green

01:57:04.920 --> 01:57:10.680
Or course pretty base hank green's pretty base. That's pretty good suggestion did matt pat retired with nothing right?

01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:16.520
He retired but but his channels are still going. Okay. Let's use matt pat. Let's use matt pat

01:57:16.680 --> 01:57:23.720
Okay, the theorists are clean as far as when I say so matt pat matt pat really cool people matt pat or hank green invites me to do

01:57:24.440 --> 01:57:30.920
Uh a collab I am the sub in this relationship. I travel to them. I don't even ask right standard

01:57:31.080 --> 01:57:35.000
Like I don't I don't ask I don't ask are you are you know?

01:57:35.240 --> 01:57:43.240
Can you fly to me for us to do this collab now? There could be a reason that they have to come here like if we're if we're building a fancy pc and we're gonna paint it

01:57:43.240 --> 01:57:49.560
And we need our workshop and stuff there could be a reason for that But if the idea is just that we're going to be talking heads and we're going to get yack at each other

01:57:50.200 --> 01:57:56.600
I just assume that i'm going to them and in the same way that a much smaller creator would probably assume

01:57:57.080 --> 01:58:00.280
That they're coming to me with Linus. It was the same way

01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:07.240
I assumed that I am packing up the show. I'm packing up all the parts. We're bringing it to

01:58:07.880 --> 01:58:12.680
I don't know his house We find a studio space that we can rent

01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:16.600
We are moving heaven and earth to make this thing happen because

01:58:17.160 --> 01:58:20.040
I am just grateful that he replied to a freaking email

01:58:20.440 --> 01:58:28.600
Let alone that he has graciously offered us like half a day to a day of his time to to to collaborate together

01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:33.640
Like it's so exciting and then he just casually drops. Oh, no, I think I could just come to you

01:58:34.120 --> 01:58:38.040
Yeah, you know, I travel a lot for work and it's no biggie. I can just hop up there and I'm like

01:58:39.000 --> 01:58:41.000
How can you be this cool?

01:58:43.400 --> 01:58:50.680
It will like it it You almost like don't even want to accept it, but it will be a lot easier to do a collab here

01:58:50.840 --> 01:58:53.800
I know I know, but I had it's just so cool though

01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:58.440
Remember that story. I I'm gonna be vague only because

01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:02.520
Uh, I don't know if you you mentioned you might want to save it for content or something

01:59:02.520 --> 01:59:07.800
But remember that story I told you about fixing a computer recently one a computer that you knew about

01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:11.320
Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, you can just tell the story. Um

01:59:12.280 --> 01:59:17.160
We could still be content. I don't know The the computer Linus's team

01:59:17.960 --> 01:59:19.960
in scrapper war season four

01:59:21.240 --> 01:59:25.800
Had a motherboard that they had to repair and they repaired it in like

01:59:26.600 --> 01:59:31.320
This really weird way, but it worked and then afterwards

01:59:31.320 --> 01:59:34.200
I don't remember if it was given away to christmas party or I bought it

01:59:34.680 --> 01:59:39.960
Or it was just effectively tossed out. I don't remember what the situation might have just been tossed

01:59:40.520 --> 01:59:43.160
But I ended up with it and I gave it to my brother

01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:51.480
And it just kept working Forever which is crazy despite the craziest fix ever it just kept working and then

01:59:52.520 --> 01:59:58.200
It got passed to A friend of ours and then it went from that friend of ours to

01:59:58.680 --> 02:00:02.120
To their kid and their kid bought a new case for it

02:00:04.840 --> 02:00:12.040
Which you know, whatever maybe do a different performance upgrade on a 2500k, but anyways that that's a topic for another time

02:00:13.480 --> 02:00:18.920
And in the case swap They like removed the the wire that made the whole thing work

02:00:19.160 --> 02:00:24.760
And it's crazy that he reached out to me to try to potentially fix it because like no the amount of people that would

02:00:25.160 --> 02:00:29.960
Wait. Oh, yeah. No. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, I thought you told the story differently to me, but no that yeah

02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:32.920
I think that's right. So he he didn't like know

02:00:33.320 --> 02:00:42.040
Oh that this mother board was like special He didn't know it came from me which really it came from you and really it was modded in in an episode of scrappard

02:00:42.040 --> 02:00:45.320
Where it's like he didn't know all of that. Uh, so when he brought it over

02:00:45.320 --> 02:00:49.240
We were able to like look at the episode of scrappard was and figure out what they did

02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:53.800
And then I you know moved the little cable over and it started working which was fantastic

02:00:54.120 --> 02:00:58.360
Um And and yeah, that was um

02:00:59.240 --> 02:01:05.080
Why does this story matter? Oh, yeah, I when when we went to go fix a computer. I asked him to come to the office

02:01:06.280 --> 02:01:11.160
Like we fixed it at the office because I was thinking in my head I was like, where am I going to have the most like

02:01:11.640 --> 02:01:17.320
tools and potentially spare parts to like try if something is is wrong like, oh, okay

02:01:17.400 --> 02:01:22.600
Maybe it's the GPU. Let's swap the GPU at whatever like where is going to be most convenient to do this?

02:01:22.920 --> 02:01:25.880
And it was like, I don't know the it room at the office

02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:30.440
And then we went there and it was just perfect. It was like, yeah, okay cool

02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:35.480
So it is you know way more convenient for him to come here Everything is set up for what you guys are going to have to do

02:01:35.560 --> 02:01:39.000
It also means we don't have to worry about any privacy stuff like at his house

02:01:39.080 --> 02:01:42.440
The last thing I would want to do is like docks Linus torvolds

02:01:43.720 --> 02:01:48.920
Or do like crazy blurring which ends up making the video hard to watch or whatever else like yeah

02:01:48.920 --> 02:01:56.680
So it's it is sweet that he's coming over Um, it's just also surprisingly he said it's a really long story for that. But anyways, I think it's cool

02:01:56.840 --> 02:02:05.640
I can't believe that computer still works It's crazy. I still don't understand why it works. I I wanted to do a collab with like build zoid or something

02:02:06.360 --> 02:02:14.360
Where yeah, I want to try with him anyways, but yeah, we're just like can you please enlighten my stupid monkey brain?

02:02:15.080 --> 02:02:17.960
As to why plugging in this fan header

02:02:18.760 --> 02:02:24.200
Makes this busted motherboard work. So uh, pancrats plugging the fan. It's like bridging two different

02:02:24.840 --> 02:02:30.760
So pancrats specific pin pancrats is in the flow plane chat saying because the part where we like fixed it

02:02:31.240 --> 02:02:37.160
Is was cut from the episode by accident So the whole saga is something that nobody's ever actually seen

02:02:37.720 --> 02:02:41.880
But as part of the compilation of the fourth scrapyard wars

02:02:42.680 --> 02:02:46.680
Uh, pancrats has gone through the footage and he says it should be included in the compilation

02:02:46.760 --> 02:02:50.280
So the like no way because I knew it was on camera. I knew

02:02:51.400 --> 02:02:53.880
But remember I didn't I didn't review the videos before

02:02:54.680 --> 02:02:59.320
I just like assumed the editors would get everything and that that's that's not always fair

02:02:59.880 --> 02:03:07.000
But it wasn't it wasn't in the video And so there was just this weird like bridged wire and we were like talking about it in the conclusion

02:03:07.560 --> 02:03:14.920
but yeah People never actually saw that wildness happen where I'm pretty sure there were like sparks

02:03:15.640 --> 02:03:18.680
Like there was there was fire that motherboard was burned

02:03:19.160 --> 02:03:23.800
And then I I only know that portion from hearing it from you because I I didn't see it

02:03:23.800 --> 02:03:28.120
And and we scrubbed the video to try to find the wire which we could do but

02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:34.360
It was it was hard to find like that point of the episode. We struggled to kind of fight it because it wasn't there footage isn't there. Yeah

02:03:36.280 --> 02:03:43.000
Yeah, it's uh, what a thing So, yeah, I mean I'm stoked it exists and if we end up doing that that collab

02:03:43.080 --> 02:03:46.360
I'm sure I can get the computer back at least at least temporarily

02:03:46.840 --> 02:03:51.560
That'd be cool. That'd be fun Hey want some cool news?

02:03:51.800 --> 02:03:57.400
Yes, SpaceX's cellular starlink now works on apple watches in canada and japan

02:03:58.360 --> 02:04:03.880
I just think that's cool. That's all okay. Sweet. Yeah only text message sending and receiving via apple watch

02:04:04.040 --> 02:04:11.320
Messages app is supported rogers in canada supporting it kddi in japan is supporting it on I think this is on three apple watch models

02:04:12.040 --> 02:04:16.120
SpaceX's partner in the usa t-mobile could be next no confirmation at this time

02:04:16.440 --> 02:04:22.600
But I just think I think that's a super cool feature especially in an emergency or whatever else. It's uh, it's uh

02:04:23.640 --> 02:04:27.960
I don't know. I don't know if I want to say underrated feature of some of apple's hardware

02:04:27.960 --> 02:04:35.880
But having something like that on your watch Seems even better than having it on your phone if you're ever in an emergency situation

02:04:36.920 --> 02:04:39.560
Very cool. So that that was it. That was all I had to say about that

02:04:41.000 --> 02:04:45.400
Okay Uh, what else do we have?

02:04:46.120 --> 02:04:50.440
Oh, should we talk about the stop killing games petition getting debated in uk parliament?

02:04:51.080 --> 02:04:58.680
Yeah The stop killing games campaign finally reached the floor of the uk parliament where members debated its petition urging publishers

02:04:58.920 --> 02:05:03.240
To stop rendering games unplayable when companies choose to shut down their servers

02:05:04.120 --> 02:05:12.200
Notably mp mark seward's Contended that companies might already be violating consumer production laws by failing to clearly disclose

02:05:12.360 --> 02:05:19.240
How long players will have access to a game? Nice seward's also got in a sick burn by mentioning that

02:05:19.720 --> 02:05:25.560
Uh, the dead game lawbreakers would probably have been popular amongst some of

02:05:26.520 --> 02:05:28.520
games

02:05:30.600 --> 02:05:37.960
Industry people helping thanks Linus there was a sentence fragment there

02:05:40.120 --> 02:05:44.200
The government's but nobody understands what just happened other than you and me

02:05:46.680 --> 02:05:51.880
The government's spokesperson Restated that there are no current intentions to amend the law

02:05:52.040 --> 02:05:57.000
But emphasize that businesses must provide consumers with adequate information about their products

02:05:57.240 --> 02:06:00.920
There is still optimism for the eu branch of stop killing games campaign

02:06:01.080 --> 02:06:07.800
As it is in the process of preparing and waiting for eu politicians to debate its citizens initiative on the issue

02:06:07.880 --> 02:06:12.840
This is pretty cool. I uh, I gotta admit. I really didn't have a lot of hope for it

02:06:13.320 --> 02:06:16.920
But I certainly have a lot of um

02:06:16.920 --> 02:06:24.600
agreement With the with the premise of hey, you know when you buy something you should yeah, and if this happens for games

02:06:25.240 --> 02:06:28.840
I really think at that point where a stone's throw from

02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:33.160
Software and then where a stone's throw from other media

02:06:33.960 --> 02:06:38.120
And so hardware exactly this whole trend of like

02:06:39.960 --> 02:06:44.680
You will buy things and then you don't own them and someone can just shut them down

02:06:45.640 --> 02:06:52.280
It it needs to end and it's not going to end just by hoping that our corporate overlords are going to stop doing it

02:06:52.920 --> 02:06:55.880
It's only going to end if it's legislated

02:06:57.400 --> 02:07:03.720
so Not a lot to add here. Just wanted to let you guys know that all is not yet lost

02:07:04.360 --> 02:07:13.240
um Mark ticked tex 69 and Floatplane chat says hey, have you seen the new red magic 11 with active water cooling?

02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:19.640
No, but I greenlit today doing a sponsored video on it

02:07:19.800 --> 02:07:24.520
So I will see it and I'm actually legitimately sponsorship aside full disclosure

02:07:24.920 --> 02:07:29.000
But sponsorship aside it looks pretty cool. Do you want a spoiler?

02:07:29.720 --> 02:07:33.160
Uh, yes It has a headphone jack. No. Oh

02:07:34.120 --> 02:07:41.400
I'm and no hole punch in the screen. I am actually considering it because are you holding it? Nope. Oh

02:07:42.200 --> 02:07:45.240
Sony no hole punch very very

02:07:45.880 --> 02:07:51.160
uncommon There's like no phones that are not doing the hole punch under screen camera

02:07:51.800 --> 02:07:57.000
uh headphone jack I'm thinking about it even though I don't gamer

02:07:57.640 --> 02:08:03.160
On the phone. This is red magic 11 pros that we said. I think that's the one. Yeah, because no camera bump

02:08:03.160 --> 02:08:10.200
It hasn't noticed. Oh my god. I'm on I'm on wired headphones right now. They have not lost their place in my heart

02:08:10.200 --> 02:08:14.360
I like wired. Yeah, I still really like wired headphones. Yeah, I would love a phone

02:08:14.520 --> 02:08:19.640
I've been planning on going Sony because Dan kind of talked me into it for for the next generation that I go to

02:08:20.040 --> 02:08:23.720
If I upgrade this one, you can have my old one and then you won't have to buy anything

02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:27.720
Oh look like to that that does itch my brain

02:08:29.800 --> 02:08:33.640
So be careful. I will see I've been pondering it. I've been pondering it

02:08:34.200 --> 02:08:37.160
Uh, dude, I've man the the whole hole punch thing

02:08:37.560 --> 02:08:42.600
Like I kind of thought I was over it because I've been using the pixel 9a and I kind of mostly got over it

02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:46.600
but I've been on the iphone air more recently and um

02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:55.400
I uh I find oh Dan I've talked to I've talked to you about this and luke. I'm kind of doing a thing where I I'm like watching iconic movies

02:08:55.800 --> 02:09:00.600
Okay, I'm finally making my way through like my movie backlog. So I finally watched all the president's men

02:09:02.200 --> 02:09:06.840
Very different pacing compared to a more modern film. Have you seen it Dan? I don't think so. Oh, okay

02:09:07.640 --> 02:09:13.960
Very different pacing. It's from 1976 or something like that. It's it's it's uh, it's no, I have not

02:09:14.200 --> 02:09:16.920
It's so good. Um, it's on the watergate scandal

02:09:17.640 --> 02:09:21.400
And that was the other thing that stood out to me is what qualified as

02:09:22.280 --> 02:09:25.480
shocking scandalous behavior

02:09:25.480 --> 02:09:30.200
back then that could like undo a presidency

02:09:31.160 --> 02:09:36.600
Man, they ain't had seen nothing yet by that point. Anyway, the the point is not that

02:09:36.920 --> 02:09:40.600
the point is that with the bigger face id

02:09:40.920 --> 02:09:46.840
freaking camera bullet hole exit wound that apple has on their displays

02:09:47.960 --> 02:09:50.680
Full screen content and it is still distracting

02:09:51.240 --> 02:09:55.320
And I've even been using a phone that has a hole punch for quite a while now

02:09:55.720 --> 02:09:59.880
Like can we can we just not? Can we not get over this?

02:09:59.880 --> 02:10:04.680
Can we demand screens that don't have a flipping hole in them? It's hard. It's hard

02:10:04.920 --> 02:10:10.840
And for a while people were trying to solve it like we had ones that had little mechanical flip up rear cameras

02:10:11.000 --> 02:10:14.040
One plus had that one that retracted into the body

02:10:14.520 --> 02:10:23.160
Uh, the under screen ones were a thing for a while But that's what the red magic has right people use their selfie cameras so much that I also can like kind of understand

02:10:23.400 --> 02:10:28.600
But I mean sony just like because you've got the earpiece right at the top. Yeah, right? There's just a little tiny

02:10:28.920 --> 02:10:31.800
Just a little tiny camera right there. It's fine. I don't know what's with the

02:10:32.760 --> 02:10:38.680
I mean samsung did it on the note and I dude if samsung released the galaxy note 9

02:10:39.400 --> 02:10:43.160
Evo I would be first in line to buy it

02:10:43.720 --> 02:10:49.240
headphone jack sd card a sim slot e-sim so that gets you your two your two sims

02:10:50.600 --> 02:10:55.800
No hole punch just like a skinny top bar and like man that form factor was so sleek

02:10:56.120 --> 02:11:00.280
I pick it up every once in a while because it's the phone that I use for a line messenger because I just

02:11:00.760 --> 02:11:05.160
Have never figured out how to migrate my line Messenger messages

02:11:05.160 --> 02:11:09.640
So it's just the phone that I take with me to Taipei every time I go for all my badminton friends, but

02:11:10.600 --> 02:11:13.880
So every once in a while I pick it up and I'm like damn

02:11:13.880 --> 02:11:17.960
It still feels so good in the hand because even though it's not as thin as like an iphone air

02:11:18.200 --> 02:11:21.800
It tapers at the edges so it like feels super thin freaking love it

02:11:22.040 --> 02:11:25.080
I just like this one because it's a big phone, but it's a thin phone

02:11:25.480 --> 02:11:29.320
So it's like having a small phone, but with more up and down, which is really nice

02:11:29.720 --> 02:11:33.560
they are I don't know phones these days are just getting really wide

02:11:34.120 --> 02:11:40.200
Dyslexic stoner says welcome back to another hour of three old men complaining about how good phones used to be

02:11:40.680 --> 02:11:45.480
But they did I had that sexy lg1 with the power button right in the middle of the back

02:11:46.040 --> 02:11:54.120
I can't remember what that was called Oh, I remember that that was so good. It was so good. There was one it was a merge message earlier

02:11:54.360 --> 02:11:57.720
Uh, what phone would you keep in the samsung 8 edge?

02:11:58.200 --> 02:12:03.640
I really liked oh, yeah a very long time. Oh, yeah, I had superman rom on that that was sick

02:12:04.600 --> 02:12:10.360
den ricks and full-point shots at a lg g2 lg g2 was dope samsung s3 was dope

02:12:11.480 --> 02:12:13.480
um the like original

02:12:15.480 --> 02:12:18.280
Basically all of the nexus phones were sick

02:12:19.240 --> 02:12:23.160
I loved samsung's active lineup. I was like the only

02:12:23.800 --> 02:12:30.920
Person in the entire techosphere as far as I could tell who was like super into samsung's active phones

02:12:30.920 --> 02:12:34.120
They were a galaxy s whatever, but just like

02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:42.040
gigantic chungus battery And like rugged sounds awesome. They were freaking awesome, but not so thick

02:12:42.440 --> 02:12:45.640
Like it was still thinner than having a case on your other phone

02:12:45.880 --> 02:12:50.360
But you just didn't need a case and you had a bigger battery. I was like, this is brilliant. Why doesn't everybody just buy this?

02:12:50.920 --> 02:12:54.520
Yeah, yeah Oh loved those

02:12:56.600 --> 02:12:59.240
Um, all right, what are we what are we supposed to be talking about?

02:13:01.160 --> 02:13:05.320
Oh, you want to do some more topics? Yeah, we can do that. Uh, there's no notes for this really

02:13:05.400 --> 02:13:11.160
But just wanted to let you guys know microsoft fixes the update and shutdown bug that has plagued Windows for 10 years

02:13:11.880 --> 02:13:15.080
um Whoop there it goes

02:13:16.360 --> 02:13:22.440
So that's exciting It used to restart even though you told it update and shut down it would just restart and yeah

02:13:22.760 --> 02:13:27.080
Yeah decade, but now now it's fixed. I think it's coming in the next in the next Windows update

02:13:27.400 --> 02:13:33.400
Our discussion question is very annoying when it does that our discussion question is what's the next Windows bug that you want fixed?

02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:41.640
Um, I think most of it's not bugs. I think most of it is entirely intentional from their team and makes

02:13:42.200 --> 02:13:45.640
Windows incredibly insufferable to use. Okay. Well, david had one

02:13:46.040 --> 02:13:50.440
He says i'm not sure if it's a bug, but it used to be like this in like xp or seven or something

02:13:50.440 --> 02:13:55.640
I don't remember but right clicking a folder or item in an explorer window does not select the item

02:13:55.880 --> 02:14:01.240
Even if it's highlighted So you have to left click the item to select it and then right click it to open properties etc

02:14:01.320 --> 02:14:05.800
If you right click on another one that isn't selected it deselects the first one and opens the menu for the folder

02:14:06.040 --> 02:14:09.880
This behavior does not happen in the left hand detail pane and works as expected

02:14:10.360 --> 02:14:15.160
This kind of sounds like that issue that I have with macOS where if something is not the focus window

02:14:15.240 --> 02:14:20.920
I can't interact with that. I have to click twice And it seems like david and I are the sorts of people that

02:14:21.320 --> 02:14:25.960
And was for me actually. Oh that one was from you. Yeah. Oh, it was his topic. So I assumed it was you

02:14:25.960 --> 02:14:30.840
Okay, that's a daniel beser contribution. I assumed that he typoed his own initials there. My bad. Oh good

02:14:31.240 --> 02:14:35.480
Now david's a writer. He's uh, he's perfect. Also. I just noticed that your initials are a sad face

02:14:36.600 --> 02:14:40.600
It tracks Oh my goodness

02:14:43.480 --> 02:14:50.360
All right Microsoft says it doesn't have enough energy to power its current ai chips

02:14:51.080 --> 02:14:58.840
GPU stock In an interview conducted alongside open ai's sam altman on the bg2 podcast

02:14:59.240 --> 02:15:03.400
Microsoft CEO satan adela said the biggest issue the ai industry

02:15:04.200 --> 02:15:09.560
has is not having Having is not a complete what okay

02:15:10.440 --> 02:15:16.120
Is now having oh is the biggest issue the ai industry is now having is not a complete glut, but it's power

02:15:16.680 --> 02:15:19.880
We may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can't plug in

02:15:20.280 --> 02:15:23.400
In fact, that is my problem today. It is not a supply issue of chips

02:15:23.400 --> 02:15:26.520
It is actually the fact that I don't have warm shells to plug into

02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:30.200
I love that. We may have this issue. In fact, we do have this issue

02:15:30.920 --> 02:15:40.120
I This comes after reports of consumer electricity bills increasing up to 36% in cost due to growing data center demands

02:15:40.920 --> 02:15:46.120
Open ai is calling for the u.s. Government to build an additional 100 gigawatts of power generation annually

02:15:46.520 --> 02:15:51.240
And at least four big ai tech companies are considering building or funding their own

02:15:51.800 --> 02:15:57.800
nuclear power facilities Yeah, they're doing small ones though. They're they're using

02:15:58.760 --> 02:16:04.840
Oh, there's little modular ones, right? Yeah, they're they're like inspired by submarine tech or something

02:16:04.920 --> 02:16:08.760
I don't and they just expire. They just like expire when they're done, right?

02:16:09.640 --> 02:16:15.880
Like you can't refuel them or something. I I don't know enough details about it. It was it's a while ago that I read about

02:16:15.960 --> 02:16:21.240
I think I probably read like the same article you did like a while back like they're in containers or something like that

02:16:21.400 --> 02:16:27.080
Yeah, so yeah, you just bring them in you plunk them down and then they just they consume all the fuel and when they're done

02:16:27.080 --> 02:16:30.920
They're done. They're kind of like the alkaline battery of a data center kind of thing

02:16:31.480 --> 02:16:35.240
um Modular reactors and shipping containers says yaxter

02:16:36.360 --> 02:16:42.200
um Cato s is talking about molten salt. Oh, dude. Did you see the chinese shipping?

02:16:42.920 --> 02:16:48.440
containers ship The the shipping container ship whatever container ship

02:16:49.080 --> 02:16:53.720
The chinese container ship that uses a molten salt nuclear reactor

02:16:54.520 --> 02:16:57.880
No, yeah, right Dude

02:16:57.880 --> 02:17:00.040
My goodness damn china

02:17:04.040 --> 02:17:12.440
Is that the new damn daniel? Damn china. Here we go. That's good. I think I first saw this on him again with a molten salt thorium reactor

02:17:14.360 --> 02:17:22.680
Thorium reactors, dude Maybe they're not thorium. Yeah, uh china unveils power of thorium reactor for world's largest cargo ship. Look at this thing

02:17:23.560 --> 02:17:25.960
Look at how many shipping containers that is

02:17:26.600 --> 02:17:29.000
I want a thorium reactor just like personally. Yeah

02:17:31.560 --> 02:17:35.240
They don't let you put an ac unit in your apartment. That may be a thorium reactor

02:17:35.880 --> 02:17:39.560
Hey, they might they might not have rules against it. It's not in the rider

02:17:41.960 --> 02:17:46.040
Where does it say that I can't take thorium reactors in my back in my back

02:17:47.560 --> 02:17:52.360
Our discussion question It doesn't have batteries

02:17:52.360 --> 02:17:54.360
So

02:17:55.800 --> 02:18:00.680
Our discussion question is how much compute do you guys think is currently sitting idle due to a lack of power?

02:18:00.760 --> 02:18:06.920
Okay, we have no way of knowing that because first There may be some sitting idle and then there definitely is so we have yeah

02:18:06.920 --> 02:18:16.280
We're not going to get an answer on that But our second question is do you think the price of GPU's would go down if this idle inventory was available to consumers

02:18:16.440 --> 02:18:20.120
Which I don't know the answer to either but what I do know is that it's time for

02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:26.760
Our weekly check to see if you can buy an arc b580

02:18:28.520 --> 02:18:33.800
For msrp one of these days. I am going to figure out our affiliate program for

02:18:34.840 --> 02:18:39.960
Um New egg. I don't believe you I will I will and we're going to make some money on this segment

02:18:40.040 --> 02:18:43.480
But it doesn't matter because the point for now is that yes. In fact, you can

02:18:44.120 --> 02:18:49.480
What does black friday price protection mean? This was 249 the last time we looked at it

02:18:49.960 --> 02:18:53.320
Oh, but there's an Intel holiday bundle with purchase limited offer

02:18:54.040 --> 02:18:57.320
Hold on a second. What is it? Hopefully it's not 3d mark holiday bundle

02:18:57.960 --> 02:19:00.840
battlefield sick wait pick one of four games

02:19:01.720 --> 02:19:07.160

So you pick one of these plus bonus content marvel rivals in-game content. Who cares exploit premium suite?

02:19:22.280 --> 02:19:25.560
Okay, that's kind of cool canvid and vegas pro edit

02:19:26.440 --> 02:19:33.640
365 That's right. My friends you can get all of this GPU and more for 249

02:19:34.600 --> 02:19:39.960
99 If you were gonna buy one of those games, it's basically 200 bucks or less

02:19:40.520 --> 02:19:44.440
Do they still have that feature where I can where I can see how many people have it in their cart?

02:19:45.320 --> 02:19:50.120
Uh, I think you have to go to your cart, but yeah, I think so. I didn't have to do this before

02:19:50.840 --> 02:19:52.840
Hold on cart my

02:19:53.880 --> 02:20:00.200
Because I'm will oh 350 plus people have this in their cart right now. Yeah, uh, it's a great

02:20:00.760 --> 02:20:05.400
Card for the price. We absolutely love the arc b580 LMG.gg slash new egg

02:20:06.680 --> 02:20:12.600
Oh, okay. It's not easy. Who posted? Yeah, tim and chat tim and chat posted. Oh, that's hilarious

02:20:13.400 --> 02:20:20.760
Uh, okay, tim says Linus won't read this, but it's on the screen. It's on the screen. Where is it?

02:20:21.560 --> 02:20:26.360
I have no idea. Okay. Well, whatever the point is I had a meeting with Intel back at computex

02:20:27.080 --> 02:20:31.640
I broke their balls a little bit about what I felt was a really misleading

02:20:32.280 --> 02:20:37.320
aspect of their marketing where they they said that arc b580 was

02:20:37.960 --> 02:20:45.800
The best GPU under Under $250 or 300 or whatever it was and I was like, okay, show me one for under that price

02:20:46.200 --> 02:20:50.840
And they couldn't and it got a little tense and I was like, I need a plan from you guys

02:20:51.880 --> 02:20:56.200
So that I stopped being a liar every time that I talk about your msrp's because it's not okay

02:20:56.920 --> 02:21:01.800
And you know what they never really got back to me on the timeline that I asked for

02:21:02.440 --> 02:21:05.800
But but but within a span of weeks not months

02:21:06.680 --> 02:21:13.640
Arc b580s were available for msrp, which was all I wanted and they have consistently been available for this price to the point where

02:21:15.080 --> 02:21:20.040
Guys, it's a great deal. It's a great card. It will slay 1080p

02:21:20.360 --> 02:21:24.440
It's even quite 1440p capable and it's 250 us dollars

02:21:24.840 --> 02:21:27.960
I freaking love this thing and I want them to sell lots of them

02:21:28.280 --> 02:21:35.160
And I don't you can use the you can use the the affiliate thing or you can just not I this is completely editorial

02:21:35.800 --> 02:21:43.080
I want competition in the GPU space. I want to see a b770. It's still rumored. I don't know if it's real

02:21:43.400 --> 02:21:48.360
I want arc to succeed because I need competition in this space and

02:21:49.000 --> 02:21:52.200
Intel's architectural and software improvements are promising

02:21:52.600 --> 02:21:58.680
Look at what they're doing on the MSI claw ai 8x plus whatever whatever the stupid handheld is called

02:21:59.560 --> 02:22:02.760
Look at the power. Look at the performance. They're still driver bugs

02:22:03.160 --> 02:22:09.960
They still have work to do But the trajectory is so promising and I need lip boutan to not abandon this thing

02:22:10.440 --> 02:22:14.120
We got to show growth. We got to show success for it because I want competition

02:22:14.200 --> 02:22:17.800
That's all I have to say about that and you you know, he doesn't want to keep it around

02:22:18.600 --> 02:22:27.320
He doesn't want to keep anything around Exactly. I'm so upset that pat is never going to see the fruits of pat's plan for Intel

02:22:27.880 --> 02:22:31.800
And that the stock just goes up because lbt just cuts jobs

02:22:32.760 --> 02:22:34.760
Like I

02:22:37.160 --> 02:22:46.040
Anyway What was I supposed to be talking about? Oh, right. Yeah, david asks. Oh my god back on the microsoft power power topic

02:22:46.440 --> 02:22:49.000
Is the current level of investment into ai sustainable?

02:22:49.800 --> 02:22:55.960
david knows that I Don't think anyone really thinks that it's sustainable

02:22:56.360 --> 02:22:59.080
But hey, are we in a bubble? I don't know. This isn't financial advice

02:22:59.400 --> 02:23:05.160
Uh, there was one other thing that I wanted to point out actually since we're on the subject of GPU's though is that

02:23:06.120 --> 02:23:10.360
Intel arc is not the only GPU that you can find these days

02:23:10.600 --> 02:23:22.040
For a pretty reasonable price Uh, hold on a second. I thought was it uh, was it 50 70 ti's that were under msrp? No, that's at msrp

02:23:22.680 --> 02:23:32.840
Was it 50 70? Let's see. I thought there was one NVIDIA card that was actually under msrp on new egg right now

02:23:34.040 --> 02:23:37.800
uh new

02:23:37.960 --> 02:23:41.320
Yeah, $20 rebate card. I don't know

02:23:42.040 --> 02:23:44.040
I uh, yeah

02:23:45.560 --> 02:23:49.960
Is it mail in if it's a mail-in rebate? I don't I don't know it. Yeah, I rebate does not count

02:23:50.040 --> 02:23:53.400
I counted a little it does not count. I counted a little I don't not count it

02:23:53.880 --> 02:23:56.760
I only count it if it's decently substantial

02:23:58.280 --> 02:24:03.320
20 bucks Would you you would send a letter for 20 bucks 20 bucks 20 bucks for sure. Yeah, it was 20 bucks

02:24:03.320 --> 02:24:10.600
I just it is a Not even sort of hidden secret at these retailers that you get a mail-in rebate

02:24:10.680 --> 02:24:16.040
That's low enough and then nobody does it so it's just not even a discount that you know that

02:24:16.520 --> 02:24:24.680
You know that I know you know that I don't think I have I don't think I have ever told this story on wancho before but back when I was the product manager for

02:24:24.920 --> 02:24:31.800
ocz ssds back at ncix Um, they would often like push me to take a bunch of inventory that I told them

02:24:31.800 --> 02:24:38.200
I was like, you know that I can't move this with our run rate business You guys are gonna have to do promos to sell them and they'd be like no, no, it'll be fine. It'll be fine

02:24:38.440 --> 02:24:42.360
Take all this inventory and I'd be like, okay. Tell you what here's the deal. I'll take the inventory

02:24:42.840 --> 02:24:45.800
But we're on net terms. We're on net 30 terms

02:24:45.960 --> 02:24:54.840
But I literally I'm not going to We could be at 31 days 35 days 300 days. I don't care. I'm not paying this bill until we've sold them

02:24:55.480 --> 02:25:00.840
You can push me you can dump all this inventory. You can stuff me is what the term would be you can stuff me with inventory

02:25:01.400 --> 02:25:05.560
But it's your problem It's still your inventory as far as I'm concerned until it's sold

02:25:05.960 --> 02:25:12.680
and so what would happen is We would get to the point where my terms are due and they would ask for payment

02:25:12.760 --> 02:25:18.440
I'd be like, hey, so here's the email where I said I'm not paying you for these unless you move them

02:25:19.000 --> 02:25:24.040
Here's my inventory report that I sent you on a weekly basis that shows that I do in fact still have them

02:25:24.360 --> 02:25:26.360
what are you going to do about it and

02:25:27.400 --> 02:25:32.200
There's this one time. I think we ran a 100 dollar mail-in rebate

02:25:33.320 --> 02:25:37.320
on an ocz SSD And that's crazy

02:25:37.320 --> 02:25:42.520
Because they had all the kind of the math that they could do on the back end for like what the redemption rates would be

02:25:42.760 --> 02:25:48.200
and you know, whatever writes to the fuzzy math that you can do with your your instant rebates and your mailing rebates and

02:25:49.560 --> 02:25:56.200
Anyway, we ran this promo. It was a big hit And there was a there was a time a little while later that they stuffed me again

02:25:56.360 --> 02:25:59.800
And I was like, okay, this is your problem. Why don't we do another hundred dollar mail-in rebate? And they go

02:26:00.600 --> 02:26:05.240
Oh line aside. I really don't know if we can do that. I go. Why not? I mean you did it before

02:26:05.640 --> 02:26:10.920
You know and they're like, well See, I might have gotten in a little bit of trouble because the redemption rate was almost 100

02:26:12.920 --> 02:26:17.640
I mean, yeah, the fact that it was only an almost is crazy to me

02:26:18.280 --> 02:26:23.800
Um, how do you just not mail a letter for a hundred dollars for a hundred dollars? Yeah, buddy

02:26:24.120 --> 02:26:32.040
I would dude, dude, like I bought a uh, I bought a benq. I'll always remember this. I bought a benq cd writer

02:26:32.520 --> 02:26:38.680
Um at future shop on a boxing day promo because it was 25 dollars with a 25 dollar rebate

02:26:38.920 --> 02:26:46.040
And I was like, buddy, it's for real estate. Yeah, it was a crazy deal They had a whole pyramid of them just like on a palette and I was like, I'll take one of those. Sure

02:26:46.840 --> 02:26:51.160
Did they max out how many you could buy? Yeah one one per customer. Yeah, okay, that makes sense

02:26:52.360 --> 02:26:55.880
So that was uh, that was a get you in the door thing. Oh, yeah, a hundred percent

02:26:56.200 --> 02:27:00.280
I don't know what was in it for benq, but then something in it for future shop for sure

02:27:01.160 --> 02:27:07.640
um aw 11682 asks how do mail-in rebates actually work not a thing in the uk

02:27:08.120 --> 02:27:14.040
So what you do is you buy a product say for example this rgx box ally x which by the way

02:27:14.440 --> 02:27:18.600
You could actually have a chance to win one if you make a purchase on LTT Store

02:27:18.600 --> 02:27:25.080
We have the full Details of our spend a hundred dollars plus for a chance to win the sennheiser headphones i'm wearing or the rg ally x

02:27:25.720 --> 02:27:29.480
Etc. Etc. Etc. On the store go check it out. Uh, let's say you were to buy one of these

02:27:29.960 --> 02:27:35.640
Okay, you get a receipt right you get an invoice and you also get your product with the box

02:27:36.040 --> 02:27:40.600
So what a lot of mail-in rebates would have you do is cut out a piece of the box

02:27:41.000 --> 02:27:45.160
Like something to show that you are redeeming it only once some piece of the packaging

02:27:45.480 --> 02:27:51.080
And then you would also include your your receipt showing that you bought it from a qualifying reseller

02:27:51.560 --> 02:27:58.200
and then you put those in In an envelope with the mail-in rebate form that you filled out with your name address and

02:27:58.760 --> 02:28:05.560
Uh where they can mail a check you send it to the address of the company and they send you back a check

02:28:05.640 --> 02:28:14.280
That you then deposit into your bank account And the idea behind it is that this rigmarole of filling out forms and cutting out pieces of boxes

02:28:14.920 --> 02:28:18.440
Is a hassle that most people won't go through

02:28:18.760 --> 02:28:27.000
So it allows the retailer and the seller of the goods to or the manufacturer of the goods to advertise a very aggressive price

02:28:27.400 --> 02:28:33.720
Knowing that the lazy people who don't bother are subsidizing the people who actually get it at that price

02:28:34.280 --> 02:28:38.840
So if they're doing like, you know, $20 off. So instead of being three

02:28:39.880 --> 02:28:43.480
$420 it's 399 after mail-in rebate

02:28:43.960 --> 02:28:48.600
What that tells you is that what their margin would really support is a price of about

02:28:49.640 --> 02:28:58.760
$407 Or you know $412 and they'll have their own internal data for what percentage of people are likely to redeem these mail-in rebates

02:28:59.240 --> 02:29:05.480
um At what sort of different rebate amounts and and in different product segments that might be different as well

02:29:06.040 --> 02:29:10.120
And from different retailers you can have a very different customer base with a very different

02:29:10.760 --> 02:29:14.360
Appetite for for deal hunting and coupon cutting

02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:23.240
Uh katoa says don't forget they expire. That's right. So and you have to do it within a certain amount of time or the deal expires

02:29:23.720 --> 02:29:28.600
Yeah, that's a mail-in rebate. There you go. And it turns out if you do a $100 one

02:29:29.400 --> 02:29:32.120
Pretty much everyone will will redeem it

02:29:35.800 --> 02:29:41.480
Amazon says no to ai shopping. This was put in the doc by jordan

02:29:42.280 --> 02:29:50.440
Amazon is suing perplexity ai demanding that the startup stop letting its comment browser make purchases on behalf of the company

02:29:51.000 --> 02:29:59.000
Amazon says that Comet covertly accessed amazon customer accounts and disguised automated activity as human browsing

02:29:59.480 --> 02:30:05.480
Amazon says this poses a security risk and interferes with the shopping experience and has demanded that

02:30:06.120 --> 02:30:08.120
Perplexity end its misconduct

02:30:09.160 --> 02:30:17.160
Perplexity. Oh man. That's the word. I'm having trouble with today has rejected amazon's claims in the past saying amazon is using its market dominance to stifle competition

02:30:17.240 --> 02:30:24.200
In a blog post titled bullying is not innovation. The startup calls amazon's legal actions a threat to all internet users

02:30:25.160 --> 02:30:31.960
Our discussion question is should ai agents be able to use your accounts and impersonate you to complete a task on your behalf?

02:30:32.680 --> 02:30:39.080
If you instruct them to or should retailers be able to insist on human interaction?

02:30:39.400 --> 02:30:47.080
He's thinking he's having to think retailers if it's the retailer should be able to effectively do whatever they want in this situation

02:30:50.440 --> 02:30:58.440
I mean should they I mean do they do it? Yeah, they should be able to yeah, I mean they tell us that they don't want us to scrape their pricing data and we would

02:30:59.240 --> 02:31:08.120
I think they should be able to do it. Yeah, they should be able to do it. Yeah, I mean they tell us that they don't want us to scrape their pricing data

02:31:08.440 --> 02:31:14.920
And we would never do that No, of course not. Right. So do we really respect retailers wishes to have their site used the way they want?

02:31:15.480 --> 02:31:19.480
No, but it's not about respecting wishes. This is this is like the ad block argument, right?

02:31:19.480 --> 02:31:25.160
Like they somebody can retaliate against you ad blocking that doesn't mean you can't ad block

02:31:25.880 --> 02:31:30.040
Um, it's it's the same type of thing like if if if amazon decides

02:31:30.680 --> 02:31:36.120
Oh, we don't want these automated things. We're going to try to stop them then I mean as far as my understanding

02:31:36.440 --> 02:31:40.120
Those are completely within the right to do that. Um, should they?

02:31:41.880 --> 02:31:45.720
I don't necessarily think so. I suspect I think it's a liability thing

02:31:47.080 --> 02:31:49.880
Because uh, because what's your thing that you always say?

02:31:50.520 --> 02:31:57.080
Uh machines can't be held accountable So if I said, oh, yeah, no my I I told my ai not to

02:31:57.640 --> 02:32:01.960
Then all of a sudden amazon's the one who's on the hook for either giving me a refund for this product or

02:32:02.360 --> 02:32:06.680
Dealing with me sending it back to them or whatever like they're the ones That's what I would try to figure out

02:32:06.680 --> 02:32:11.160
That's what I would try to figure out is I would I would I would maybe block it temporarily

02:32:11.560 --> 02:32:14.840
And come to an agreement with this group or whatever

02:32:15.480 --> 02:32:24.120
That they have to assume some level of liability Um, but there's no way that they're going to do that because they're an ai company and you know how ai companies are around

02:32:24.680 --> 02:32:30.920
Their own liability for freaking anything whether it's people, you know unaliving themselves or whether it's uh

02:32:32.920 --> 02:32:39.960
I mean, that's the worst thing I could think of so there you go. Uh, or you know, okay training their training their models on stolen

02:32:41.000 --> 02:32:47.880
data like They they're just they're trying to avoid any kind of responsibility at every turn as far as I can tell and that's across the board

02:32:49.160 --> 02:32:53.560
Yeah, max overdrive said but some people have assistance through shopping for them. Um, sure

02:32:53.800 --> 02:32:57.800
What's the difference between that and ai? Because a human can be held

02:32:58.920 --> 02:33:02.440
Yep That's it

02:33:05.160 --> 02:33:11.160
In other news that assistant would be the one held accountable servers in space

02:33:13.800 --> 02:33:23.560
This is another topic from jordan NVIDIA sent the h100 GPU into space on board the star cloud one satellite on sunday to test how data centers could work

02:33:24.040 --> 02:33:29.000
in orbit Terrestrial data centers require massive amounts of electricity and water

02:33:29.480 --> 02:33:37.400
And star cloud one is the first step of a plan from redmond washington based startup star cloud to move resource hungry data crunching infrastructure into space

02:33:37.880 --> 02:33:40.440
Hopefully to reduce the environmental impact

02:33:41.080 --> 02:33:49.880
Ah, yes Let's fire off the rockets to reduce the environmental impact. Yes, and don't forget. Don't forget. Very good. Lower earth orbit

02:33:50.200 --> 02:33:55.160
Here we need that. Yes Very very good. Yes during the satellite's three-year mission

02:33:55.480 --> 02:34:01.720
NVIDIA will be testing a range of ai use cases including analyzing images of the earth and running an llm by google

02:34:02.920 --> 02:34:05.640
Not to be outdone google announced suncatcher

02:34:06.120 --> 02:34:09.800
Aiming to use solar power to run super efficient ai infrastructure

02:34:10.280 --> 02:34:15.320
I mean cool. The project plans to launch two prototype satellites by early 2027

02:34:16.680 --> 02:34:19.880
This all comes after amazon founder jeff bezos predicted

02:34:20.280 --> 02:34:23.880
Gigawatt scale data centers would be built in space within the next 10 to 20 years

02:34:24.280 --> 02:34:30.040
Where the continuously available solar energy will see them eventually outperform terrestrial data centers

02:34:30.680 --> 02:34:35.080
Bezos says space-based infrastructure is the next step of using space to improve life

02:34:35.880 --> 02:34:37.880
on earth

02:34:39.320 --> 02:34:42.600
You look so mad. It's great in other space news

02:34:43.160 --> 02:34:52.040
spews Semiconductor startup bexar has signed a launch agreement with SpaceX to integrate the company's experimental fab ship payloads into 12 upcoming launches

02:34:52.600 --> 02:34:58.920
The fab ships will not enter orbit. They will remain attached to the booster and return to earth within about 10 minutes of launch

02:34:59.480 --> 02:35:06.440
During each mission The fab ships will conduct tests to evaluate the feasibility of space-based chip fabrication

02:35:07.000 --> 02:35:12.440
This stuff is crazy including whether semiconductor materials can withstand the journey to space

02:35:12.840 --> 02:35:14.840
And the subsequent reentry

02:35:17.560 --> 02:35:19.800
Yeah, that's stuff snuts, but why though?

02:35:20.840 --> 02:35:24.440
I don't remember. Is it to avoid like movement of the earth?

02:35:25.400 --> 02:35:30.120
I I honestly I honestly don't remember I

02:35:31.480 --> 02:35:34.600
It's been so long since i've read about this, but this is like a thing

02:35:34.760 --> 02:35:40.520
It's it's it's an oxygen free environment. A lot of a lot of fabrication is done under vacuum. That's something

02:35:40.840 --> 02:35:47.480
Yeah, but we can create kato s says I think it was to do with clean room, but like yeah, but there's so much radiation out there

02:35:49.160 --> 02:35:52.600
So you're gonna have what you're gonna have this like shielded orbiting fab thing

02:35:52.680 --> 02:35:58.680
How about when you need to perform maintenance on it? Like have we have we gone bad gravity? That's it. It's micro it's microgravity

02:35:59.720 --> 02:36:05.720
Oh, it's not the vacuum It allows you to create perfect spheres more easily

02:36:06.440 --> 02:36:10.200
microgravity Which makes a ton of sense

02:36:10.920 --> 02:36:12.920
I

02:36:13.960 --> 02:36:20.520
Because I I'm remembering that's why they That's why they're doing drug research in space as well a lot of it's microgravity

02:36:21.080 --> 02:36:26.840
A lot of our research for like making things on earth always has to deal with gravity, right?

02:36:27.000 --> 02:36:30.840
So when you take gravity out of the equation some things change

02:36:31.640 --> 02:36:34.680
In some cases for the better when trying to make certain things

02:36:35.160 --> 02:36:41.480
Got it Long line of says companies will do anything to not bring tech bring chip production to the west

02:36:44.120 --> 02:36:46.120
Literally put it in space

02:36:47.880 --> 02:36:53.720
Dude imagine the cost imagine the cost imagine how many they're going to be able to make in the in that amount of time

02:36:54.520 --> 02:36:57.080
Imagine the cost of each one of those chips

02:36:58.840 --> 02:37:04.280
Oh, man, it would be cooler. It would be cooler if it was like moon base or something

02:37:05.080 --> 02:37:12.920
Uh Yeah, you're still gonna maybe maybe they're just doing research for now and then it becomes moon base or something later, but yeah

02:37:14.600 --> 02:37:20.920
All right, um We also have a we have a couple more topics that we have man. We have merch messages still good lord

02:37:21.240 --> 02:37:27.240

On your own lab couch on your own lab couch

02:38:42.760 --> 02:38:46.840
Oh my uh, there you go rove lab for creative sponsorship. All right

02:38:47.480 --> 02:38:52.760
Incompetent false advertising see the people are always talking about how great riley's singing sponsor spots are how about that?

02:38:53.720 --> 02:38:57.240
Yeah, yeah, well, there you go. You know riley's singing is so good

02:38:57.560 --> 02:39:00.440
It would be interesting if we maybe maybe we could do

02:39:01.080 --> 02:39:05.880
Like an album and like there's there's this event coming up that i know a lot of people get

02:39:06.120 --> 02:39:12.920
Stop it. The show is brought to you by ugreen if you've ever been frustrated by the high price and limited store jobs

02:39:12.920 --> 02:39:17.960
Giving out cloud services ugreen now offers nas as a solution

02:39:18.360 --> 02:39:25.240
You can locally save up to 60 terabytes of data. That's roughly 20 million pictures or 40 000 movies or 62 million files

02:39:25.240 --> 02:39:30.920
Look at how do you define the files? You know what? Don't worry about it The point is it's also compatible with a wide range of third-party hard drives as well

02:39:30.920 --> 02:39:34.760
Which is important to bring up because ugreen has nas competitors who have uh

02:39:35.720 --> 02:39:40.040
Kind of not been super clear on whether they should support third-party hard drives recently

02:39:40.440 --> 02:39:44.920
And backing up albums from things like your iphone or computer can be automated making it beginner friendly

02:39:45.400 --> 02:39:51.560
You can connect quickly via nfc start sharing and access files fast on Windows macOS Android iOS and your tv

02:39:52.040 --> 02:39:58.520
The nas also has faster speeds than standard cloud transfer. Thanks to its one gigabit network port allowing you to transfer a one Gigabyte file

02:39:58.520 --> 02:40:05.080
In seconds how many seconds i think i could tell you that probably eight and with raid redundancy your files are safe even during a drive

02:40:05.320 --> 02:40:10.920
Failure so save up to 20 on a ugreen nas today. There's more info in the video description

02:40:11.720 --> 02:40:17.880
Disclosure invested in esh tech, but that's fine. I will still take ugreen's money because those nazis are actually kind of cool

02:40:18.520 --> 02:40:24.120
Really good value You know what else could be really good value? Oh my god. I thought you'd forget

02:40:27.320 --> 02:40:30.040
You know, I wouldn't buy like if if you and I

02:40:30.600 --> 02:40:35.880
sang another christmas album I don't think i'd buy that if riley sang a christmas album

02:40:37.480 --> 02:40:42.840
I would buy that i'd buy that for a dollar i'd buy that i'd buy that for more than a dollar

02:40:42.920 --> 02:40:46.600
Okay, i know the reference, but i'd buy that for more than okay 13 dollars

02:40:47.000 --> 02:40:53.640
It's a digital product. Okay, imagine imagine no shipping handling fees. No, it's not no shipping fees in general

02:40:53.720 --> 02:40:57.400
No, it's not a digital product. It's gonna have to be a vinyl

02:40:57.880 --> 02:41:01.720
Wait, you're in 2020

02:41:01.720 --> 02:41:03.720
something

02:41:07.400 --> 02:41:11.880
We did it all right, okay, all right we we remaster it

02:41:13.160 --> 02:41:19.640
Um, wait, we remaster it or like we read. No, we re re-recorded we do both so we can have a we can have a digital

02:41:20.280 --> 02:41:24.520
No No

02:41:25.000 --> 02:41:29.120
You're about to candle playing your hand, sir. Okay. Okay. No, no.

02:41:29.120 --> 02:41:33.960
Luke, it's okay. We'll do it secretly. Nope. No, just won't tell him. Nope.

02:41:34.280 --> 02:41:39.040
No, it'll be the B side. No, that is not work. And that is not something we are expending resources on.

02:41:39.080 --> 02:41:43.080
You could Konami code on that page on the store. Nope.

02:41:43.080 --> 02:41:46.680
And it gives you the rematch. Absolutely not.

02:41:47.000 --> 02:41:52.360
We could do a, we could do a loot system where like, uh, we might send you the remaster vinyl instead of the new one.

02:41:52.360 --> 02:41:57.880
You're also going to get this unapproved so fast. No, that's like you've already approved it. No, I can unapprove things.

02:41:57.880 --> 02:42:02.840
You did already approve it. I can not sign a check. I can do that. I do have that power.

02:42:03.160 --> 02:42:06.560
I cannot sign the check for the vinyl. You don't have to sign for direct deposit.

02:42:06.880 --> 02:42:10.480
Believe it or not, I in principle have to sign.

02:42:11.080 --> 02:42:15.960
In principle. I have to approve it. I have to approve it. And that's still not out yet.

02:42:15.960 --> 02:42:19.760
KiltTT Christmas album, the vinyls that you heard it here first.

02:42:19.800 --> 02:42:23.400
A certain amount. So here's what we're going to do. Here's what we'll do.

02:42:24.080 --> 02:42:27.640
All right. We will, we will take the original songs.

02:42:28.240 --> 02:42:32.280
We will add some more because I think we should probably have some new songs.

02:42:32.280 --> 02:42:36.320
There really weren't that many. You mean, you mean, you mean as they were written?

02:42:36.320 --> 02:42:39.240
As they were written in terms of lyrics. Yeah. Yeah. Not, not saying.

02:42:39.320 --> 02:42:44.200
No, heavens. No, no, no, none of that would be creative freedom to rewrite.

02:42:44.320 --> 02:42:51.320
Yeah. I mean, we could make some tweaks. They weren't bad. Some of them were pretty bad, but, but we might do a couple of new,

02:42:51.320 --> 02:42:56.680
we'll do a couple of fresh tracks. It won't be Riley singing every time. I think we could still have a couple of people participate

02:42:56.920 --> 02:43:03.360
as long as they like are decent this time. Auto tune has come a long way in the last 10 years.

02:43:03.880 --> 02:43:09.000
OK. In 2020, let's say, let's say 2027 to give ourselves time.

02:43:09.680 --> 02:43:14.640
2027. Ella 27, we could do it next year easily.

02:43:14.640 --> 02:43:19.160
We don't need to wait till 2027. I'm not even like trying to know about this.

02:43:19.160 --> 02:43:25.240
I am not trying to overpromise. If it's 2027, 2026, it's a year.

02:43:25.360 --> 02:43:29.040
We can make it out. Luke, promise you Riley can make an album a year from now.

02:43:29.040 --> 02:43:33.360
Do you know? It's not that. That's not what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about like, we've got to figure out packaging.

02:43:33.360 --> 02:43:37.200
We've got to figure out how to ship like a vinyl. We've never done it before.

02:43:37.200 --> 02:43:40.200
And is it easy? Maybe. But we've never done it before.

02:43:40.200 --> 02:43:45.480
We've got to figure out a partner to actually get them pressed. Like, I don't want to put, I don't want to put that team in a position

02:43:45.480 --> 02:43:49.600
where they're like, holy crap, why did Linus promise to do this next year? This sucks. We don't have enough time.

02:43:49.600 --> 02:43:53.600
Like, we might have to ship by sea, we might have to ship by sea from wherever they're being manufactured.

02:43:53.600 --> 02:44:00.800
I don't know. I can't promise what I don't know. What I can say is 2027 is probably almost certainly doable.

02:44:01.320 --> 02:44:04.520
OK, that gives us time. Can we say that we might do 2026,

02:44:04.520 --> 02:44:08.480
but we're just not going to commit to it at this time? I would love if we could do 2026.

02:44:08.800 --> 02:44:11.880
We will commit to at the latest Christmas 2027.

02:44:12.080 --> 02:44:15.400
We will hopefully commit to 2027.

02:44:15.400 --> 02:44:18.680
I can't promise anything. I like not committing to anything.

02:44:18.680 --> 02:44:25.600
I'm cool with that. Yeah, OK, all right. So, so Riley, we will.

02:44:25.760 --> 02:44:29.600
I mean, I haven't spoken with Riley about this. I'm sure he'd be. He's going to have to want to.

02:44:29.600 --> 02:44:32.760
If he doesn't want to, that is totally fair. Then that's fine.

02:44:32.760 --> 02:44:37.480
So, so, so Riley slash and people who can actually sing

02:44:38.000 --> 02:44:43.400
LNG Christmas album, Christmas 2027.

02:44:43.400 --> 02:44:48.520
Let's do it. But there will be no. We will not speak of the original Christmas album

02:44:48.760 --> 02:44:51.560
being remastered or being re-released in any form.

02:44:51.800 --> 02:44:55.480
If people really want it and they don't, it's still on the forum.

02:44:55.800 --> 02:44:58.840
You can technically buy it every year.

02:44:58.840 --> 02:45:02.240
Yeah, I need I need to be very clear about this.

02:45:02.600 --> 02:45:06.600
We have sold thousands of them and it literally sells every single year

02:45:06.600 --> 02:45:09.880
and they literally for a decade and it literally shouldn't.

02:45:09.880 --> 02:45:13.800
It doesn't. It shouldn't exist. But you can't you can't say they don't want it.

02:45:14.880 --> 02:45:18.440
When they are actively continually, I can say,

02:45:18.440 --> 02:45:20.800
forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do.

02:45:23.720 --> 02:45:26.800
That's what the customer is not right in matters of taste.

02:45:27.040 --> 02:45:32.000
They just. Yes. I think we've all met a tasteless customer.

02:45:35.800 --> 02:45:38.360
If you guys hold on just 30 seconds.

02:45:39.440 --> 02:45:43.000
For what? Somebody's typing back to my message on teams.

02:45:43.000 --> 02:45:49.760
You got to be kidding me right now. OK, AMD, AMD clarifies Riley Murdoch's 9.23 p.m.

02:45:49.760 --> 02:45:52.640
November 7th, 2025.

02:45:52.960 --> 02:45:55.000
I mean, you know, I do.

02:45:57.000 --> 02:45:58.400
I am so happy.

02:46:00.400 --> 02:46:03.520
This is great. This is all I wanted for Christmas.

02:46:06.880 --> 02:46:12.000
This is fantastic in all capitals. With what time, though? Question mark, question mark.

02:46:12.000 --> 02:46:15.080
Well, we'll figure that out. We've got time. Yeah, we've got time.

02:46:15.080 --> 02:46:18.760
We'll figure that out. The main thing that's important to me is that it's going to happen

02:46:18.760 --> 02:46:21.480
eventually if he needs till 2027.

02:46:22.080 --> 02:46:28.480
Sure. OK, so I think it'll be. I think it'll be a combination release.

02:46:28.480 --> 02:46:34.000
I think we'll have to do a vinyl. We should probably do a CD and then for people who are not

02:46:34.000 --> 02:46:36.960
into owning physical media, we could probably do a digital one.

02:46:37.200 --> 02:46:43.440
We got to do a digital. Conrad says. Digital delivery is native supported on Shopify.

02:46:43.840 --> 02:46:49.960
OK, yeah, and we've got to do a digital version. Thank you, Conrad. I just mean, I think the I think the we should have a vinyl for sure,

02:46:49.960 --> 02:46:54.000
as well, absolutely. And some people are super into CD at this point.

02:46:54.000 --> 02:47:00.880
Like it's it's CDs, trendy again, dude. I don't want to do a thing where if you buy the CD or vinyl version,

02:47:00.880 --> 02:47:03.520
you just get the digital download for free in addition.

02:47:04.720 --> 02:47:10.640
Yeah, maybe. Sure, there's a way you can. Yeah, there's got to be a way to do that. I don't want to promise anything right now because I have no idea.

02:47:10.640 --> 02:47:14.440
But there should be no reason why we couldn't build a mechanism for that. Mail and code it.

02:47:14.440 --> 02:47:15.440
Yeah.

02:47:17.440 --> 02:47:22.720
Minidisc. No, we're not doing a minidisc. You could also do something where the digital download is like

02:47:23.040 --> 02:47:26.720
like a super cheap add on or something like that. You could be like for an extra five bucks or whatever.

02:47:26.720 --> 02:47:29.840
Because I don't know exactly how Shopify handles that. And so we'll figure it out.

02:47:29.840 --> 02:47:35.000
But like, OK, yeah, eight tracks. I can totally see wanting the vinyl version.

02:47:35.000 --> 02:47:37.920
Like I will buy the vinyl version just to be clear.

02:47:39.760 --> 02:47:42.000
But then I would also want the digital versions.

02:47:42.840 --> 02:47:47.840
And so we'll have to do. Dude, I promise you the internal people using their merge budget

02:47:47.840 --> 02:47:52.160
on this is going to be extremely high. Dude, Bridget is going to she's going to lose her shit

02:47:52.160 --> 02:47:55.880
because I actually had a conversation with her earlier this week

02:47:56.240 --> 02:48:00.000
where I was like, you know, that design would actually look pretty cool

02:48:00.000 --> 02:48:04.120
on like an ugly Christmas sweater. And she's like, is this approval to do a Christmas sweater?

02:48:04.480 --> 02:48:06.400
And I was like, whoa, hold on.

02:48:07.640 --> 02:48:11.000
But if we had a Christmas sweater as a time, it would it would have to be alive.

02:48:11.120 --> 02:48:14.920
Dude, if you really. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

02:48:14.920 --> 02:48:18.320
Matching Christmas pajamas and the matching Christmas sweater

02:48:18.320 --> 02:48:22.520
and a matching Christmas album. You do know that's going to push it to 2027, though, right?

02:48:22.920 --> 02:48:27.200
Oh, by all of it, I would be OK with that. All right. Oh, man.

02:48:27.200 --> 02:48:29.360
All right, we'll see. Is it more time to be mastered?

02:48:30.240 --> 02:48:33.240
My goodness. All right. All right. I'm so excited.

02:48:33.440 --> 02:48:35.560
All right. All right. Christmas ones.

02:48:39.080 --> 02:48:42.520
Man, now you've got the whole company all like excited about this.

02:48:42.680 --> 02:48:47.280
Jeez, because it's exciting. We got to just do things sometimes, man. It's fun.

02:48:47.720 --> 02:48:52.280
It's a lot of work, Luke. That's sometimes fun is work.

02:48:53.320 --> 02:48:58.040
Oh, man. Work is fun, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I think you meant the second one.

02:48:58.240 --> 02:49:03.160
No, no, no, no, no. You know, we're going to sell like a few hundred of them, right?

02:49:03.160 --> 02:49:08.000
Like, no, we won't. No, we won't. We will sell. I promise you, we will say way more than that.

02:49:08.080 --> 02:49:11.520
I guarantee I have no idea how many vinyls to press.

02:49:12.120 --> 02:49:17.840
I have no clue. I have no idea. This could be this could totally be a pre-order thing, right?

02:49:18.920 --> 02:49:21.880
What you could probably do is put the digital one up for sale

02:49:22.360 --> 02:49:27.400
and then put the vinyl one up for pre-sale. It's like it's like a weird.

02:49:27.440 --> 02:49:30.080
It's like a weird like, man,

02:49:31.560 --> 02:49:35.160
because people buy vinyls of albums they have listened to.

02:49:35.520 --> 02:49:38.640
Like that is totally a thing. That's true. You can put the digital one up for sale

02:49:38.840 --> 02:49:45.160
and then the vinyl for pre-sale. I can pretty much guarantee you can do that and then you won't have to massively overorder it.

02:49:46.280 --> 02:49:50.200
We don't do pre-orders. Yeah, but I think it's OK.

02:49:50.200 --> 02:49:54.080
Yeah, digital one is up for sale first because then you can get reviews of it

02:49:54.080 --> 02:49:57.080
and you know if you like the music. So we don't do pre-orders

02:49:57.080 --> 02:50:02.200
because we don't want to be stuck in a position where we don't have a firm timeline on something

02:50:02.200 --> 02:50:06.080
and we are going to be just like holding your money indefinitely. That's one of the reasons.

02:50:06.080 --> 02:50:13.320
Yeah, and we don't do pre-orders because we don't want to set a bad example

02:50:14.440 --> 02:50:18.320
for the industry where there's like questionable quality

02:50:18.320 --> 02:50:23.040
potentially and we're taking your money up front without you having an opportunity to find out if it's any good.

02:50:24.000 --> 02:50:27.120
So there are certain things that we would have no problem taking a pre-order on.

02:50:27.120 --> 02:50:31.440
I would have no problem taking a pre-order on a mousepad with a new graphic, for instance,

02:50:31.440 --> 02:50:35.200
because it's our same proven high-quality mousepad

02:50:35.200 --> 02:50:40.760
but just with a graphic with a supplier that we've worked with emptying bazillion times in the past

02:50:40.760 --> 02:50:44.880
and we have a firm idea of what the ETA is going to be. But what I don't want to take a pre-order on

02:50:44.880 --> 02:50:49.000
is something like say, for example, a mod mat where something unexpected might happen

02:50:49.000 --> 02:50:52.160
and we might not be able to deliver it in the time that we wanted to.

02:50:52.400 --> 02:50:58.800
So that's why we don't do pre-orders because not taking pre-orders is the right thing for reasons.

02:50:58.800 --> 02:51:02.800
Not because pre-orders are just blank it wrong and should never be done

02:51:02.800 --> 02:51:05.800
but because there are reasons that maybe they shouldn't be done

02:51:05.800 --> 02:51:09.160
and we want to put our money where our mouth is.

02:51:11.680 --> 02:51:14.920
All right, AMD has clarified its clarifications

02:51:14.920 --> 02:51:18.280
on their controversial RDNA1 and 2 driver note.

02:51:18.280 --> 02:51:22.840
They will continue game optimization after all. They will continue to receive new game support,

02:51:22.840 --> 02:51:26.800
stability and game optimization, security and bug fixes. The other branch for newer cards

02:51:26.800 --> 02:51:30.280
is to allow AMD's engineers to move faster and integrate new features at a faster pace.

02:51:30.280 --> 02:51:35.800
I still don't understand what that means. Isn't this what we said? No, this is further clarification of the clarification

02:51:35.800 --> 02:51:38.800
but here is a clarification.

02:51:39.880 --> 02:51:46.560
I am feeling- Of the clarification of the clarification? I would like to clarify that I am feeling a lack of gas

02:51:46.560 --> 02:51:51.120
and so I need your help. Usually he's extremely gaseous.

02:51:51.160 --> 02:51:54.280
We are attempting to get the environmental chamber

02:51:54.280 --> 02:52:01.040
that we bought recently at auction up and running. However, we have discovered that the gases we need

02:52:01.040 --> 02:52:08.800
are extremely expensive. If anybody has the following gases

02:52:09.160 --> 02:52:12.560
or a connection to getting them locally here in Vancouver

02:52:12.560 --> 02:52:17.560
or like West Coast Canada or cheap,

02:52:17.640 --> 02:52:22.640
please reach out to us via Reddit or the forum.

02:52:23.280 --> 02:52:28.120
Yeah, just, yeah, public post is probably fine and we can DM you if you seem credible.

02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:33.120
We need 15 pounds four ounces of R404A

02:52:34.320 --> 02:52:38.200
and we need 10 pounds of R508B.

02:52:38.200 --> 02:52:43.800
If you have a lead on any of these gases, if you have some cylinders of them kicking around somewhere

02:52:43.800 --> 02:52:47.920
that you weren't gonna do anything with, A, wow, good for you

02:52:47.920 --> 02:52:52.320
because that's a lot of money worth of gases. You must be very rich to have gases like that

02:52:52.320 --> 02:52:58.520
sitting around not doing anything and not sell them. But B, thank you so much for maybe giving us a deal

02:52:58.520 --> 02:53:02.200
because it is going to be extremely expensive

02:53:02.200 --> 02:53:06.600
for us to get this thing going. Is it expensive to the point where we like might

02:53:07.640 --> 02:53:10.640
just abandon it if we- Potentially.

02:53:10.640 --> 02:53:14.880
Like what's the, yeah, okay. Potentially, we're gonna do our best.

02:53:14.880 --> 02:53:18.360
So that was 15 pounds four ounces of R404A

02:53:18.360 --> 02:53:22.000
and 10 pounds of R508B.

02:53:22.000 --> 02:53:26.760
Even if we do get all the gases, there could still be significant challenges

02:53:26.760 --> 02:53:31.040
in getting it running. Apparently it is so loud that anybody in the,

02:53:31.040 --> 02:53:34.320
if we were not to enclose it, anybody working in the lab

02:53:34.320 --> 02:53:37.440
would have to wear hearing protection at all times.

02:53:37.440 --> 02:53:40.480
So there are challenges,

02:53:40.480 --> 02:53:44.440
but basically we would like to at least get to the point of part two

02:53:44.440 --> 02:53:49.720
where we get the thing running and I'm pretty bullish on that. We actually managed to find the person,

02:53:49.720 --> 02:53:55.880
the technician who decommissioned it. And what he told us is that when he decommissioned it,

02:53:55.880 --> 02:53:59.000
it was in great shape and working great.

02:53:59.000 --> 02:54:01.900
So that gives us a ton of hope.

02:54:03.720 --> 02:54:08.920
Okay. So that's where we're at. I just thought we were collecting extremely large rooms

02:54:08.920 --> 02:54:14.280
that we don't use in Labs like Pokemon or something. The diff says, quite you.

02:54:15.400 --> 02:54:20.440
Would Northern Washington be okay? Maybe. I actually just don't know what the complications

02:54:20.440 --> 02:54:24.280
of getting it over the border would be. It's possible. If the deal's right, then we're good.

02:54:24.280 --> 02:54:31.140
We would try to figure it out because we really want to try, even if it doesn't end up being part of our setup overall,

02:54:31.140 --> 02:54:36.120
we want to at least get this thing working for the lulls. So we need to get our hands on these gases.

02:54:37.120 --> 02:54:41.720
Can you take it in checked baggage?

02:54:44.120 --> 02:54:47.120
That's an earlier in the show reference. It's not an electronic thing.

02:54:47.120 --> 02:54:51.640
All right, Dan, let's do some, let's do some merge messages, shall we?

02:54:51.640 --> 02:54:55.000
Going into after dark then. Good Lordy, there's a few merge messages today.

02:54:55.000 --> 02:54:58.160
Okay. It's been busy. I wonder why.

02:54:58.160 --> 02:55:01.560
Oh yeah, I meant to have a look at what you guys were into today.

02:55:03.080 --> 02:55:04.480
The answer is,

02:55:07.120 --> 02:55:10.600
holy balls. Okay.

02:55:10.600 --> 02:55:14.360
What is it? What is the answer? When you have a combination of things going on,

02:55:14.360 --> 02:55:17.600
you have the sweepstakes thing, and you have the discount things. Oh no, I just mean product-wise.

02:55:17.600 --> 02:55:23.720
People are super into the new WAN hoodie. So this is good because I had a long conversation

02:55:23.720 --> 02:55:27.200
or I've had many long conversations with the merge team because they're like,

02:55:27.200 --> 02:55:30.540
okay, what is our direction for WAN stuff? Is it orange? Is it red?

02:55:30.540 --> 02:55:34.080
I'm like, look, I want to see this launch. We did a poll, but there's a big difference

02:55:34.080 --> 02:55:37.760
between what people respond to a poll to,

02:55:37.760 --> 02:55:42.040
or what people say in a poll response versus what they actually buy, right?

02:55:42.040 --> 02:55:46.640
Firefox, for instance. So I need to see this red one actually sell.

02:55:46.640 --> 02:55:51.240
I need to see people resonate with red and the LTT brand as opposed to orange.

02:55:51.240 --> 02:55:55.000
And when that happens, then we can make a decision. We can chart a path forward

02:55:55.000 --> 02:55:58.720
in terms of like how our color branding works. So yeah, WAN hoodie's doing pretty good.

02:55:58.720 --> 02:56:02.320
You guys are super into it, apparently. Transparent screwdrivers.

02:56:02.560 --> 02:56:06.240
Someone internally very recently expressed concern

02:56:06.240 --> 02:56:09.560
over our ability to move as many of the WAN hoodie

02:56:09.560 --> 02:56:12.560
as we ordered, and I had a quick chuckle

02:56:12.560 --> 02:56:16.080
and was like, they'll get them. Oh yeah.

02:56:16.080 --> 02:56:18.480
It'll be all right. Yeah, everything's gonna be okay.

02:56:19.440 --> 02:56:22.600
You know, I think, you know what? I mean, that wouldn't be the first person

02:56:22.600 --> 02:56:28.040
to kind of bring up concerns and stress, you know, around work over the last couple of years,

02:56:28.040 --> 02:56:31.920
which is good. We want to hear those things, right? We want to get a chance to address those things

02:56:31.920 --> 02:56:36.880
for anyone on staff who is watching right now, right? Like it needs to be a conversation.

02:56:38.360 --> 02:56:43.160
But we're okay. You know, we've definitely had some struggles.

02:56:43.160 --> 02:56:48.160
I mean, we've talked openly about viewership not being where I want it right now on LTT.

02:56:49.560 --> 02:56:52.560
I mean, we're having a lot of conversations of future.

02:56:55.800 --> 02:57:01.080
And I think this, we've talked about it a lot where there's that 100 employee threshold

02:57:01.080 --> 02:57:05.280
that's really, really hard to cross. And I feel like what's going on right now

02:57:05.280 --> 02:57:10.200
is we've been sitting on the threshold long enough that in my opinion, at least,

02:57:10.200 --> 02:57:13.240
I can see the way off if that makes sense.

02:57:13.240 --> 02:57:17.880
And the path forward is logical.

02:57:17.880 --> 02:57:24.000
It's been painful to sit here for this long, but this is realistically relatively normal

02:57:24.000 --> 02:57:26.160
for companies that get to about this size.

02:57:27.760 --> 02:57:31.480
And I'm pretty excited about, I don't know if we want to talk about them yet,

02:57:31.480 --> 02:57:35.600
but I'm pretty excited about some of the plans that we have for like honestly,

02:57:35.600 --> 02:57:42.920
pretty much every part of the company. And they all rhyme, which I think is really cool.

02:57:42.920 --> 02:57:48.560
Like almost every department is taking a similarly inspired step forward.

02:57:48.560 --> 02:57:52.200
Does that make sense? Can I say that? I didn't really leak any plans.

02:57:52.200 --> 02:57:55.120
I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, you can just say it. I don't care.

02:57:57.600 --> 02:58:03.480
Nope. Okay. I don't want a team's message on Monday

02:58:03.480 --> 02:58:07.440
of like, why did I learn about this stuff on Wansha? We'll talk about it internally first.

02:58:07.440 --> 02:58:11.200
We literally have a section in the Monday morning email

02:58:11.200 --> 02:58:13.440
that includes stuff that was leaked on Wansha.

02:58:14.440 --> 02:58:18.920
Yeah, but we'll wait. That doesn't mean we should use it.

02:58:18.920 --> 02:58:23.640
Tynan says probably the right call in the chat, but is it the fun call, Tynan?

02:58:25.640 --> 02:58:28.960
No, it's not. But you guys will just have to wait.

02:58:28.960 --> 02:58:32.840
All right. But yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about stuff.

02:58:34.800 --> 02:58:39.040
Absolutely not the fun call. Yeah, see, right?

02:58:40.000 --> 02:58:44.000
Okay, wanna hit me with a rich message, Dan? Sure, sure, we got a bunch here.

02:58:44.000 --> 02:58:47.320
Linus, it isn't fair. Actually, no, hold on. Okay.

02:58:47.320 --> 02:58:50.360
One more thing I wanted to say is that even though, yeah, viewership hasn't been

02:58:50.360 --> 02:58:54.120
where I really want it to be, what has been really cool for me to see

02:58:54.120 --> 02:58:58.600
over the last little while is that sentiment around the content that we've been uploading

02:58:58.600 --> 02:59:05.680
has been really positive. With, I think, one exception out of the last few weeks,

02:59:05.680 --> 02:59:10.120
the like ratio has been way higher

02:59:10.120 --> 02:59:14.600
than what has historically been our average. And when I say way higher, I mean like,

02:59:14.600 --> 02:59:19.840
anywhere from 0.5 to a percent higher, because we're realistically in a pretty narrow band,

02:59:19.840 --> 02:59:25.160
but that historically has indicated, like, banger video that people are really engaging with

02:59:25.160 --> 02:59:29.080
and really loving. Another thing that's been really cool is like,

02:59:29.080 --> 02:59:33.760
the support that we're getting from our audience on places like Floatplane has been amazing.

02:59:33.760 --> 02:59:40.840
Like, we've been hovering around 40,000 Floatplane subscribers for quite a while now.

02:59:40.840 --> 02:59:44.480
Like, we're basically, you know, back to where we were near our peak.

02:59:44.480 --> 02:59:49.360
We're a few thousand short, but like, wow. That peak was also juiced up from the hack

02:59:49.360 --> 02:59:54.200
and stuff like that. When you look into statistical averages of like,

02:59:54.240 --> 02:59:57.360
other platforms where you can see some of the numbers

02:59:57.360 --> 03:00:02.360
of conversion between subscribers or average viewership

03:00:02.760 --> 03:00:05.760
and amount of people subscribed to an external funding platform,

03:00:05.760 --> 03:00:09.360
like you guys have come out to support us

03:00:09.360 --> 03:00:14.560
in a pretty big way. So I appreciate it. And you've done it through the store too. Like, we know that times are not amazing

03:00:14.560 --> 03:00:18.800
in a lot of industries. And we would never ask you guys to spend money

03:00:18.800 --> 03:00:21.920
you don't have, that we don't want.

03:00:21.920 --> 03:00:25.520
But if you do have it, you know, the way that you guys have supported us through the store

03:00:25.520 --> 03:00:31.280
has been absolutely incredible. So yeah, I just wanted to, just wanted to thank you guys.

03:00:33.120 --> 03:00:36.720
Thank you. Merge message.

03:00:36.720 --> 03:00:40.200
Oh yeah, right. And the last bit was like, because of your support,

03:00:40.200 --> 03:00:43.240
we are going to be okay. Like everything's fine.

03:00:43.240 --> 03:00:46.960
We to this day have never had to conduct layoffs

03:00:46.960 --> 03:00:51.880
and, you know, knock on wood. Yeah, I hope that that wouldn't happen.

03:00:52.880 --> 03:00:56.280
And it's all because of you guys. Thank you.

03:00:59.520 --> 03:01:03.400
All right. At Linus, it isn't fair to expect employees

03:01:03.400 --> 03:01:06.480
to have founder passion. What's your number one advice

03:01:06.480 --> 03:01:12.400
for a one man business on hiring? And more importantly, trusting their very first employee.

03:01:12.400 --> 03:01:14.280
Oh, man.

03:01:16.240 --> 03:01:20.680
No pressure, Linus, I was listening closely. I was about to say, I don't know because-

03:01:20.680 --> 03:01:23.360
Make them live in the office. I don't think,

03:01:25.200 --> 03:01:28.920
I think that Luke would agree very strongly

03:01:28.920 --> 03:01:32.200
with the statement that I didn't handle it perfectly.

03:01:32.200 --> 03:01:35.600
So- Oh, sure. It's hard for me to,

03:01:35.600 --> 03:01:40.200
it's hard for me to credibly give advice. I can tell you, you know,

03:01:40.200 --> 03:01:44.960
some of the things that I feel I did well.

03:01:44.960 --> 03:01:48.160
A high degree of transparency is really important

03:01:48.160 --> 03:01:51.440
because that's going to help you achieve alignment

03:01:51.440 --> 03:01:55.800
and help you guys, you know, work together on hopefully adding more employees.

03:01:55.800 --> 03:02:00.800
I think that working alongside and leading by example

03:02:00.880 --> 03:02:02.440
is incredibly important.

03:02:05.240 --> 03:02:08.760
Oh, man. This would tie very well into, you know,

03:02:08.760 --> 03:02:15.160
something that wasn't done, that some steps are being made to rectify,

03:02:15.160 --> 03:02:19.200
but that we aren't ready to talk about yet and just kind of pending a conversation

03:02:19.200 --> 03:02:23.560
between the two of us. But maybe Luke could give some of his thoughts

03:02:23.560 --> 03:02:28.600
on whatever it is he wants to say about this because realistically, he's gone through this

03:02:28.600 --> 03:02:34.520
as the number one, well, number two, technically, if we count Yvonne, which I do, but sorry, Luke.

03:02:34.520 --> 03:02:38.040
But, you know, that still makes Luke, you know, the number two man, right?

03:02:38.040 --> 03:02:41.440
Like he's the guy. He was the first one that actually,

03:02:41.440 --> 03:02:44.720
I think your employee number is technically one, isn't it?

03:02:44.720 --> 03:02:49.640
I think it depends on where you look. On the healthcare plan, it's one.

03:02:49.640 --> 03:02:53.960
Yeah, because I think I wanted a meme one. I wanted 69 or something.

03:02:53.960 --> 03:02:57.080
Yeah, I think we both asked for that or it was leaked.

03:02:57.080 --> 03:03:01.440
It was one of the other, but you like legitimately technically asked first.

03:03:04.000 --> 03:03:07.400
I don't remember which, I don't remember the story,

03:03:07.400 --> 03:03:11.480
but I remember we asked for the same thing and it's something, I don't know. Yeah.

03:03:11.480 --> 03:03:13.160
Yvonne was like, this is awkward.

03:03:17.120 --> 03:03:21.720
Yeah, anyways. So like what would be your advice

03:03:21.720 --> 03:03:24.920
for a one man business on hiring and more importantly,

03:03:24.920 --> 03:03:28.000
creating a relationship that is trusting

03:03:28.000 --> 03:03:31.120
with their first employee? Now you're on the spot.

03:03:31.120 --> 03:03:36.200
Boom. Oh no, I sort of did this. I sort of did this because of AJ, right?

03:03:36.200 --> 03:03:40.600
Oh, that's true. I wanted to hear the other perspective though. He's gonna dodge. He dodged it.

03:03:40.600 --> 03:03:44.400
He fucking dodged it. Whoosh.

03:03:45.400 --> 03:03:51.080
You gotta remember to fucking kneel. You fucking kneel here. Dodging bullets.

03:03:54.920 --> 03:03:57.600
Oh, that was crazy. This guy.

03:04:00.760 --> 03:04:03.600
Oh, that was funny. It's the hard art incident all over again.

03:04:07.200 --> 03:04:11.520
I don't know, opposite, I'll try to give both. So I'll undodge.

03:04:11.600 --> 03:04:13.320
Oh, I'll jump back in front of it.

03:04:15.880 --> 03:04:19.240
I, and I don't think this is too much of a secret,

03:04:19.240 --> 03:04:22.920
in many ways I preferred,

03:04:22.920 --> 03:04:29.600
and in many ways I think what we're doing now is super cool, but my brain operates more properly

03:04:29.600 --> 03:04:34.600
in a very small business mindset approach, et cetera.

03:04:35.600 --> 03:04:41.280
Panic survival mode is Luke's mode.

03:04:41.280 --> 03:04:45.560
Love that. Actually though, it fuels me in a lot of ways,

03:04:45.560 --> 03:04:48.760
and things being like, yeah, I don't know.

03:04:48.760 --> 03:04:53.280
So I liked it back then. I liked the way we worked together.

03:04:53.280 --> 03:04:57.600
No, I don't think everything was handled perfectly, but if you think you're gonna handle everything perfectly

03:04:57.600 --> 03:05:00.440
with your first person, you're actually nuts.

03:05:02.040 --> 03:05:05.960
You're realistically not gonna handle everything perfectly with anyone.

03:05:05.960 --> 03:05:08.960
So you're gonna have to deal with that eventually.

03:05:10.720 --> 03:05:15.120
And I think it's often not making the mistake.

03:05:15.120 --> 03:05:18.960
It's how you deal with it after the fact.

03:05:20.360 --> 03:05:22.720
Like I would like to,

03:05:24.600 --> 03:05:28.840
yeah, I have multiple examples of that, right? Like not necessarily handling something super well,

03:05:28.840 --> 03:05:34.120
and then I would like to hope to think that I did relatively well after that point

03:05:34.120 --> 03:05:39.080
in trying to fix the problem. And I can think of recent ones,

03:05:39.080 --> 03:05:43.560
and I fully expect if I keep managing people moving forward,

03:05:43.560 --> 03:05:47.080
that that will keep happening moving forward. It's just part of it.

03:05:48.880 --> 03:05:53.720
So I wouldn't worry too much about screwing up with them

03:05:53.720 --> 03:05:56.720
just because it's going to happen. Obviously try not to do it,

03:05:56.720 --> 03:06:01.720
but focus more on just being good to them

03:06:02.160 --> 03:06:07.960
and when you make mistakes, just correct it. And like Linus said, be transparent and be honest.

03:06:07.960 --> 03:06:14.320
And when you screw up, just tell them. And never underestimate the power of a genuine apology.

03:06:14.320 --> 03:06:20.880
And when I say apology, I don't mean words. I mean, talking through what you were thinking,

03:06:20.880 --> 03:06:27.000
even if what you were thinking is embarrassing and something that makes you question

03:06:27.000 --> 03:06:31.200
if you are actually that good of a person. Because you know if you're thinking it,

03:06:31.200 --> 03:06:36.320
they're thinking it. So you got to get it out there in the open. You got to say, okay, well like, here's what I was thinking

03:06:36.320 --> 03:06:39.640
and here's why I did what I did and I'm sorry

03:06:39.640 --> 03:06:44.000
and the behavior will change. And then it has to actually like change.

03:06:44.000 --> 03:06:45.600
You have to actually do something.

03:06:49.960 --> 03:06:53.000
Yeah, in regards to, oh, sorry.

03:06:53.040 --> 03:06:57.440
No, no, I'm done. Yeah, go ahead. I was going to say in regards to the hiring of that person,

03:06:58.720 --> 03:07:03.680
that's tough. I kind of had an easy out with AJ

03:07:03.680 --> 03:07:08.040
because he just kind of like showed up. Volunteered. Yeah, and then volunteered and then I was like.

03:07:08.040 --> 03:07:10.480
And we started paying him. Hey, this is working out.

03:07:11.640 --> 03:07:18.040
So I kind of skipped that part, but I would be pretty careful about it.

03:07:18.040 --> 03:07:23.920
And at the same time, I don't know if I would worry too much

03:07:23.920 --> 03:07:26.960
because this is like the one time ever

03:07:26.960 --> 03:07:29.960
that you're going to be incredibly close

03:07:29.960 --> 03:07:33.160
and we'll see everything that they're doing. So if it's not working out,

03:07:33.160 --> 03:07:39.080
you could end it relatively quickly. And that aspect is going to get more difficult over time.

03:07:39.080 --> 03:07:44.160
Oh yeah. And there's a certain thing with hiring where like it's very easy to put on a face

03:07:44.160 --> 03:07:47.000
for an hour, for an interview.

03:07:48.000 --> 03:07:52.240
I have witnessed it myself where someone is just very different

03:07:52.240 --> 03:07:57.720
once they're actually on the job site or even remotely, I've experienced that as well.

03:07:57.720 --> 03:08:01.680
People will often say things about how like,

03:08:01.680 --> 03:08:05.200
a lot of my interview questions are like, how would you handle like this scenario?

03:08:05.200 --> 03:08:08.880
And they say the things that you want to hear and then you see them in that scenario

03:08:08.880 --> 03:08:13.440
and they do the complete opposite. You're going to run into situations where

03:08:14.440 --> 03:08:17.640
people just weren't what you thought they were.

03:08:19.160 --> 03:08:24.000
So try, obviously, try to hire the right person, try to ask some good questions,

03:08:24.000 --> 03:08:27.040
try to make sure that you're sussing them out as best you possibly can,

03:08:27.040 --> 03:08:32.160
but understand that it might just not work. And if it doesn't work that you just need to move on.

03:08:32.160 --> 03:08:35.560
And especially at that point in your company, probably quickly.

03:08:35.560 --> 03:08:39.480
So, yeah. To what Luke was saying about,

03:08:39.480 --> 03:08:45.760
this is someone that you're going to work with like side by side, day to day, a lot, you know, for me,

03:08:48.080 --> 03:08:53.160
I think a lot of founders would say like, don't befriend your employees, you know,

03:08:53.160 --> 03:08:59.600
draw kind of a hard line there. And there's definitely times when, you know,

03:08:59.600 --> 03:09:05.560
trying to be friends, not because, you know, you want to, not because there's like an agenda,

03:09:05.560 --> 03:09:09.360
but because you just work side by side every day and you like, you know,

03:09:09.400 --> 03:09:16.520
hired people that you like and stuff, you know, has backfired many, many, many times for me,

03:09:17.680 --> 03:09:23.400
sometimes in private, sometimes in public, like it's, it can get really messy.

03:09:24.960 --> 03:09:29.600
But like, I don't have any regrets as far as first employee goes yet, knock on wood.

03:09:31.280 --> 03:09:36.920
And so, you know, it was really important to find someone that I really wanted to work with every day.

03:09:36.920 --> 03:09:40.000
And that's something that I would say,

03:09:40.000 --> 03:09:44.640
whether you, you know, take the, whether you allow yourself to be friends

03:09:44.640 --> 03:09:48.040
or whether you, you know, maintain boundaries or whatever it is that you kind of approach

03:09:48.040 --> 03:09:51.600
the relationship is, I would say that it's got to be someone

03:09:51.600 --> 03:09:55.680
that you want to get up and spend the day with.

03:09:55.680 --> 03:10:00.080
You will spend more of your high quality,

03:10:00.080 --> 03:10:03.120
mentally functioning hours with this person

03:10:03.120 --> 03:10:06.760
for at least some period of time than probably your spouse.

03:10:06.760 --> 03:10:10.080
Yeah, right. So it's like actually very important.

03:10:10.080 --> 03:10:13.840
People, I think especially when they're first starting hiring,

03:10:13.840 --> 03:10:18.280
people really underestimate culture fit and how incredibly important that is.

03:10:18.280 --> 03:10:21.280
And that is still a thing when there's two of you.

03:10:21.280 --> 03:10:25.560
It's just like, it's, it's actually so important.

03:10:26.600 --> 03:10:31.840
You hear about this stuff. Like I remember being a kid, hearing people talking about like,

03:10:31.840 --> 03:10:35.160
oh, like it shouldn't matter who you know,

03:10:35.160 --> 03:10:40.840
it shouldn't matter how I act. I'm the best on the job. I remember hearing that mentality and be like,

03:10:40.840 --> 03:10:44.040
oh man, okay, cool. I just need to get like really good at stuff

03:10:44.040 --> 03:10:49.520
and then nothing else matters. And it's like, no, that's not how groups of people work.

03:10:49.520 --> 03:10:54.480
You ideally are really good at stuff, but you also need to not be completely insufferable

03:10:54.480 --> 03:10:57.480
to be around because if you are, nothing's really going to get done properly.

03:10:57.480 --> 03:11:01.160
No one's going to want to talk to you. Therefore, collaboration is going to be a problem.

03:11:01.160 --> 03:11:05.160
There's going to be adversarial relationships are going to be created.

03:11:05.240 --> 03:11:09.400
It's like, it's actually incredibly not okay

03:11:09.400 --> 03:11:12.560
for them to be just toxic and impossible to work with.

03:11:13.520 --> 03:11:18.400
So don't hire just on skill either. You need to be able to get along with this person.

03:11:18.400 --> 03:11:21.640
No, you do not need to be best friends.

03:11:21.640 --> 03:11:24.960
You need to be able to get along and be happy to work with them,

03:11:24.960 --> 03:11:28.080
which is a very different thing. Sometimes they're related,

03:11:28.080 --> 03:11:31.880
but they are very different things. Yeah.

03:11:31.880 --> 03:11:36.960
I don't know why I looked at YouTube chat, but I did. We've got buddy here, New World Disorder.

03:11:36.960 --> 03:11:41.200
Co-workers are not friends. They are coworkers. Share no personal info.

03:11:41.200 --> 03:11:46.840
Just talk about weather. And I was like, man, you gotta, someone hurt you, you know?

03:11:46.840 --> 03:11:52.480
Yeah. And then their immediate next message is, I've worked with thousands of people over 35 years.

03:11:52.480 --> 03:11:56.600
Personal info will get used against you at some point. People talk when you aren't around,

03:11:56.600 --> 03:12:02.200
no matter how cool you think you are. New World Disorder, there's some truth there,

03:12:02.200 --> 03:12:05.920
but it is also possible that people,

03:12:07.240 --> 03:12:10.840
like you didn't seem super warm and fuzzy

03:12:10.840 --> 03:12:12.200
in your first message.

03:12:15.080 --> 03:12:20.080
Is it possible that you're the common denominator here?

03:12:21.080 --> 03:12:24.120
I'm just, I'm throwing it out there. I'm just throwing it out there.

03:12:25.760 --> 03:12:29.000
Just throwing it out there. And you know what though?

03:12:29.000 --> 03:12:32.880
You know what though? There is some truth there.

03:12:32.880 --> 03:12:37.880
Like even not coworkers, like even like industry acquaintances,

03:12:38.600 --> 03:12:43.200
I have had information that I have shared with people that I considered to be at least

03:12:43.200 --> 03:12:46.200
like sort of friends, like industry friends.

03:12:46.200 --> 03:12:51.040
I've had it used against me in public to damage me. It just happened multiple times.

03:12:51.040 --> 03:12:56.880
And I don't know, man. I don't think I can find myself at that point

03:12:56.880 --> 03:13:00.480
where I just go, okay, well then I'm just not gonna share any personal information with anybody.

03:13:00.480 --> 03:13:06.040
I'll just talk about the weather. I don't think I can do that. I don't think, I don't think I'd be happy like that.

03:13:06.040 --> 03:13:11.700
And if it works for you, then it works for you, but I think I'd rather get hurt again.

03:13:12.800 --> 03:13:16.560
Yeah, I'm generally a pretty open book, I think, for better or for worse.

03:13:16.560 --> 03:13:22.020
And it's come back to hurt me too, but I think there are benefits to being that way, right?

03:13:23.400 --> 03:13:26.960
It's, you do not build trust with people

03:13:26.960 --> 03:13:29.780
by not giving trust.

03:13:31.320 --> 03:13:37.880
There has to be a little bit back and forth. And I've appreciated when people that I work with

03:13:37.880 --> 03:13:42.680
are able to be open with me about things that might be going on with them,

03:13:42.680 --> 03:13:47.680
that can help me accommodate them best I can

03:13:48.040 --> 03:13:52.520
to make sure that they're able to do, like fully corporate company had on.

03:13:52.520 --> 03:13:56.000
This allows me to make sure that they're able to do the best job that they can.

03:13:56.000 --> 03:14:01.880
And if this is like a very talented person who's in a rut, it's pretty valuable to the company

03:14:01.880 --> 03:14:05.080
if we can wait the rut out and be a good place

03:14:05.080 --> 03:14:06.880
for them to be when they come back.

03:14:08.240 --> 03:14:12.000
And then also personally, it just, I feel like it's good for my soul.

03:14:12.000 --> 03:14:16.200
So like company had off, so I don't know.

03:14:16.200 --> 03:14:20.120
I try to find as many things that satisfy company had on

03:14:20.120 --> 03:14:23.680
and company had off at the same time as possible. It's tough.

03:14:23.680 --> 03:14:27.360
It's not always possible, but you try to do it as much as you can.

03:14:27.360 --> 03:14:30.720
All right, my last YouTube message for the day from YouTube chat.

03:14:32.440 --> 03:14:36.400
Dale Earnhardt seatbelt says, LMAO out of the thousands of coworkers,

03:14:36.400 --> 03:14:40.840
I've never been the issue. But what about that time you worked with Dale Earnhardt?

03:14:45.960 --> 03:14:46.800
Sorry.

03:14:49.280 --> 03:14:52.680
That doesn't get it dinged in? Fine. Fine.

03:14:52.680 --> 03:14:57.640
Fine. Fine. I got to wash my hand now.

03:15:02.000 --> 03:15:05.360
All right, anyway, Dan hit me with another. Sure.

03:15:05.360 --> 03:15:09.200
Good evening, gentlemen. Thank you for the quality merch.

03:15:09.200 --> 03:15:14.520
Out of curiosity, if you could host WAN Show from any location, where would you want to host it from?

03:15:14.520 --> 03:15:18.720
Right here. It is so much easier when we're just both in studio.

03:15:18.720 --> 03:15:21.880
It is. It is. Every time that I'm out on a Friday,

03:15:21.880 --> 03:15:27.360
I actually get really annoyed because it's just like, yeah, it sucks.

03:15:28.160 --> 03:15:34.880
But WAN is like far superior. But since you want an answer that's more fun than that,

03:15:36.320 --> 03:15:40.400
from low earth orbit on a spacecraft,

03:15:40.400 --> 03:15:45.400
I think if we were in space together, that would be the most fire WAN Show of all time.

03:15:45.400 --> 03:15:50.600
I completely agree. I will, to be less cool and interesting than that,

03:15:51.400 --> 03:15:55.600
my favorite location WAN Show that we've done,

03:15:55.600 --> 03:15:59.840
I feel like it's probably the Japan one. That was the one that I was going to say

03:15:59.840 --> 03:16:04.120
if I had to pick a favorite one. I had actually, I had opened up a YouTube window

03:16:04.120 --> 03:16:07.360
so that I could search for WAN Japan and then I came up with the better,

03:16:07.360 --> 03:16:12.120
I came up with the better answer. That's hilarious. We're completely aligned on this.

03:16:12.120 --> 03:16:15.800
Love it. It was so good. I don't remember what the title was or anything

03:16:15.800 --> 03:16:19.000
to try to find it. But we were in the kimonos and everything. Here it is.

03:16:21.600 --> 03:16:24.800
Look at this. Look how much fun these guys are having.

03:16:26.160 --> 03:16:29.240
And Ed was passed out drunk behind the camera. It was great.

03:16:31.520 --> 03:16:35.000
He finished setting it up and then just followed. Basically, yeah.

03:16:35.000 --> 03:16:36.360
He fell asleep on the stairs.

03:16:38.000 --> 03:16:43.240
Oh, it was so good. We forgot we had to do it. And then we were both like wicked tired.

03:16:43.240 --> 03:16:47.440
And it's probably the most tired we both were on one WAN Show together.

03:16:47.440 --> 03:16:50.520
Yeah, the collective tiredness factor was pretty high.

03:16:51.080 --> 03:16:52.760
That was incredible. That was awesome.

03:16:54.800 --> 03:17:00.320
Hello, WAN.DLL. Hello back. In much of my engineering work, flight test,

03:17:00.320 --> 03:17:05.480
there's a lot of working through good and sometimes weird tech requirements.

03:17:05.480 --> 03:17:08.720
What's one of the weirdest requirements you've had to work with? You added the word tech.

03:17:08.720 --> 03:17:12.200
I did. Which ruined my answer. I'm so sorry.

03:17:13.320 --> 03:17:16.400
I don't know where that came from actually. Probably the test above it.

03:17:16.400 --> 03:17:22.640
Cause it's split on my monitor. Most of the weird requirements that I usually have

03:17:22.640 --> 03:17:26.880
to work with are people imposed, not tech imposed.

03:17:26.880 --> 03:17:33.040
Sorry. Sorry. And I would say that the most frustrating ones

03:17:33.040 --> 03:17:37.600
usually come down to people not understanding the video production workflow.

03:17:37.600 --> 03:17:45.200
Like I remember this one AMD launch event. I think it was the 580, was it the 580 or the 480?

03:17:45.960 --> 03:17:52.760
It was a Polaris based card. Maybe it was the 480. And I remember they had us all in the briefing room.

03:17:52.760 --> 03:17:56.320
Huge. Like there's probably like 80 to 100 tech reviewers

03:17:56.320 --> 03:17:59.480
and journalists and analysts and stuff in this room.

03:18:00.320 --> 03:18:06.320
And they go through this slideshow. And after it's done, I go, hey, I need the slides.

03:18:06.320 --> 03:18:09.480
And they go, well, we can only send you a watermarked version of the slides.

03:18:09.480 --> 03:18:16.080
And I go, okay, that doesn't work for me because the embargo lift is in 10 hours or whatever

03:18:16.120 --> 03:18:23.600
at eight AM in the morning. And I have to now write and do video guidance

03:18:23.600 --> 03:18:27.840
and wait for my editor. And then I have to review this video for accuracy

03:18:27.840 --> 03:18:31.760
because it's the same day release. And then we have to encode it. And then we have to upload it.

03:18:31.760 --> 03:18:36.640
And then I have to merge it. And that is not a lot of time. So what I really need is I need the slides

03:18:36.640 --> 03:18:40.480
without watermarks right now so that we can not just dick around

03:18:40.480 --> 03:18:44.380
and we can just edit the freaking video. And they go, well, you can't have them

03:18:44.380 --> 03:18:48.520
because we're worried about leaks. And I go, brother, people had their cameras out

03:18:48.520 --> 03:18:51.820
in the presentation. It's literally already leaked.

03:18:51.820 --> 03:18:56.740
If you guys care that much, why don't you deal with the people to go triangulate

03:18:56.740 --> 03:19:00.020
who the fuck was sitting there and go deal with them? Which you can do.

03:19:00.020 --> 03:19:03.940
I don't leak. So why is this my problem?

03:19:03.940 --> 03:19:07.260
Those are the kinds of issues where it's just like,

03:19:07.260 --> 03:19:11.340
dude, help me, help you. Does it make any of us look good

03:19:11.340 --> 03:19:15.660
if our slides have ugly watermark Linus tech tips all over them?

03:19:15.660 --> 03:19:19.260
Do you look good? Do I look good? Do we look competent?

03:19:19.260 --> 03:19:23.540
Then, okay, what's the point of an NDA? I signed the NDA.

03:19:23.540 --> 03:19:26.720
You give me the information. I do my job, right?

03:19:26.720 --> 03:19:31.740
Help me do my job. And so you just, I had to make it. I think I, I can't remember if it was director level

03:19:31.740 --> 03:19:35.300
or VP level that I had to go to, to get my fucking slides.

03:19:35.300 --> 03:19:39.820
Like, and it's just stuff like that, right? Where you just have to kind of go,

03:19:39.820 --> 03:19:44.620
like another really funny one is like, you'll go into a really secure facility.

03:19:44.620 --> 03:19:48.100
You'll go into like a high privacy environment. I'm not going to name it

03:19:48.100 --> 03:19:51.100
because I don't feel like dealing with that.

03:19:51.100 --> 03:19:55.540
But you'll have some piece of equipment, like some scientific piece of equipment that's like,

03:19:55.540 --> 03:20:00.020
yeah, well, you can't shoot the logo, you know?

03:20:00.020 --> 03:20:04.020
And it's like, buddy, anyone who works in this industry

03:20:04.020 --> 03:20:07.180
knows what it is from looking at everything but the logo.

03:20:07.180 --> 03:20:10.260
So what are you even talking about? Right?

03:20:10.260 --> 03:20:15.460
Like you're obscuring the brand of what it is. And it's like, yeah, but I can shoot the entire thing.

03:20:15.460 --> 03:20:19.500
I just have to blur the brand on it. Who are you trying to hide this from?

03:20:19.500 --> 03:20:25.260
Who are you concealing it from? The people who are like building a, you know,

03:20:25.260 --> 03:20:29.020
this high tech facility like you are, they know what it is from looking at it

03:20:29.020 --> 03:20:32.500
because there's only so many vendors that make, I don't know, let's throw something out.

03:20:32.500 --> 03:20:36.700
Scanning electron microscopes, right? Like how many people make those?

03:20:36.700 --> 03:20:40.620
Okay, so they know what it is. And then everyone else, you're just withholding

03:20:40.620 --> 03:20:44.300
information and you're blurring up my video frame. So what was the point of this?

03:20:44.300 --> 03:20:48.580
It's all theater, right? So those are probably the most...

03:20:49.900 --> 03:20:54.900
My favorite one was a brand that didn't let us document

03:20:56.180 --> 03:20:59.900
one of the machines, exactly what you're describing.

03:21:00.820 --> 03:21:04.140
Except later on, we looked up the YouTube channel

03:21:04.140 --> 03:21:08.780
for the company that made the machine and there was a video on that channel

03:21:08.780 --> 03:21:12.140
of them delivering the machine to the company that we were at.

03:21:12.140 --> 03:21:16.140
And it shows the whole thing, the logos, the model name,

03:21:16.140 --> 03:21:19.500
everything's on there and they're delivering it to,

03:21:19.500 --> 03:21:23.060
like it's just, it's the most out there thing

03:21:23.060 --> 03:21:28.220
you could possibly imagine. We did a tour at one point where there was this

03:21:28.220 --> 03:21:32.500
bizarre requirement that cost us probably at least

03:21:32.500 --> 03:21:36.140
half an hour to 45 minutes of just dicking around

03:21:36.140 --> 03:21:39.580
where they didn't want us to show the ceiling of the space.

03:21:39.580 --> 03:21:40.940
We couldn't show the ceiling.

03:21:42.700 --> 03:21:46.900
Immediately on getting home, we went to their site

03:21:46.900 --> 03:21:50.580
and there's just imagery all over their site that shows the ceiling of the space.

03:21:50.580 --> 03:21:53.900
It's just like, buddy. Of course, of course.

03:21:53.900 --> 03:21:59.020
Like I just can't, the problem is that it's a lot of work to say yes.

03:21:59.020 --> 03:22:02.600
Because, and it's a lot of risk because you're personally responsible for saying yes,

03:22:02.600 --> 03:22:07.020
people don't want responsibility and accountability. And I've talked about this extensively in the past.

03:22:07.020 --> 03:22:12.540
It's safe to say no. But people who say no are not doers of things.

03:22:12.540 --> 03:22:16.780
They don't accomplish anything. They're obstructions. They say, they're people who,

03:22:16.780 --> 03:22:19.980
they're people who by the very definition of their nature,

03:22:19.980 --> 03:22:26.480
by saying no, they don't get things done. Whereas, I keep telling people, whether it's my kids

03:22:26.480 --> 03:22:30.260
or people on the team here, you gotta live life by improv rules,

03:22:30.260 --> 03:22:34.540
which means you can't say no, you can say yes and

03:22:34.540 --> 03:22:40.260
you have to find a path forward. You have to find a way to incorporate someone else's idea,

03:22:40.260 --> 03:22:43.580
someone else's concept.

03:22:43.580 --> 03:22:47.940
You have to find a way to add to it rather than just block it.

03:22:47.940 --> 03:22:52.660
It's not, I mean, it's not, every time you say this, I sort of agree

03:22:52.660 --> 03:22:58.740
and then also totally don't. I think in almost every scenario, it's viable,

03:22:58.740 --> 03:23:02.620
but if you push it to its extremes, it's like. Anything pushed to the extremes is wrong.

03:23:02.620 --> 03:23:08.220
There's obviously limits. Yeah, yeah. Yes, but just, I think it's more looking

03:23:08.220 --> 03:23:13.160
at the overall pattern of behavior. Are you a no person or are you a yes and person?

03:23:13.160 --> 03:23:17.620
Are you an enthusiastic co-contributor or are you an obstruction?

03:23:17.620 --> 03:23:22.820
And sometimes you have to be an obstruction for the good of the organization,

03:23:22.820 --> 03:23:27.340
for the good of yourself, for the good of the person pitching the idea. Maybe they'd look terrible, you know,

03:23:27.340 --> 03:23:31.740
and you gotta save them, right? Hey, I should jump off this bridge.

03:23:31.980 --> 03:23:36.180
No, not yes and. Actually, yeah, yes and do it with a parachute.

03:23:36.180 --> 03:23:39.940
Yes, and wear a parachute, except you're untrained and don't know what you're doing and you're jumping by yourself.

03:23:39.940 --> 03:23:44.580
Okay, fine, yes and do it at a bungee jumping place. Like if you want the thrill of jumping off a bridge,

03:23:44.580 --> 03:23:48.220
let's do it, let's do it in the same way. A bungee jumping place doesn't service this bridge.

03:23:48.220 --> 03:23:51.540
Well, apply for a permit with the city

03:23:51.540 --> 03:23:54.740
and you don't let, hey, where there's a will, there's a way.

03:23:54.740 --> 03:23:57.820
I mean, to Tom Cruise, climb the Burj Palifa?

03:23:57.820 --> 03:24:00.820
I mean, come on. You just gotta be Tom Cruise.

03:24:00.820 --> 03:24:05.780
So dedicate the next couple of decades of your life to becoming a movie star.

03:24:05.780 --> 03:24:11.820
And being able to run very iconically. I'm just saying, you know, be a problem solver, in general.

03:24:11.820 --> 03:24:13.500
In general. Yes.

03:24:15.620 --> 03:24:16.940
Join Scientology.

03:24:19.420 --> 03:24:24.220
Oh, no, sorry. No. Get a center tooth.

03:24:25.820 --> 03:24:29.220
Say yes and to that Linus, how about that? Where's your,

03:24:29.220 --> 03:24:32.980
Yes and infiltrate them from the inside. Disinfect them from the inside.

03:24:32.980 --> 03:24:36.580
Boom, got him. All right. Yes.

03:24:36.580 --> 03:24:40.420
And? Hell, that's it, the mission accomplished.

03:24:40.420 --> 03:24:44.980
It was an impossible mission, but you did it. Congrats.

03:24:44.980 --> 03:24:47.980
Up next. Come on, I don't get anything for that. Fine.

03:24:47.980 --> 03:24:52.140
Thank you. I proposed to my girlfriend last week.

03:24:52.140 --> 03:24:56.500
She said yes. Yay, yay. And I got laid off a few days later.

03:24:56.500 --> 03:25:00.700
Oh, shit, I should have read this. There was literally. And then I found a new job in a few days.

03:25:00.700 --> 03:25:04.860
Yay. And now my old company wants me back.

03:25:04.860 --> 03:25:09.540
No, fuck them. Have you ever had a similar roller coaster of emotions?

03:25:09.540 --> 03:25:15.500
I guess besides just now. Oh yeah, definitely the whole, are we getting the channel?

03:25:15.500 --> 03:25:18.980
Are we not getting the channel in the early days of LMG? I'm not going to tell the story again,

03:25:18.980 --> 03:25:22.660
because we've told it pretty recently, but yes, I have experienced that level

03:25:22.660 --> 03:25:27.340
of emotional roller coaster. Oh.

03:25:27.340 --> 03:25:31.620
Hey, LDT, Michael here. My, your mic.

03:25:31.620 --> 03:25:35.300
Damn, hey, LDT, long time watcher, first time writer.

03:25:35.300 --> 03:25:38.460
Love the always on time WAN Show and the vids.

03:25:38.460 --> 03:25:41.700
Out of curiosity, how are Linus's braces going?

03:25:41.700 --> 03:25:46.100
He said he chose those ones because they'd be off quicker.

03:25:46.100 --> 03:25:50.820
Let me put it this way. When the brand found out that I was using them,

03:25:50.820 --> 03:25:56.380
they reached out about potentially collaborating. I sent them back a bunch of my feedback on the braces

03:25:56.380 --> 03:26:00.380
and I haven't heard from them since. I'm not surprised.

03:26:00.380 --> 03:26:01.580
So that's where we're at.

03:26:04.300 --> 03:26:08.820
I am happy with the progress of my teeth moving.

03:26:08.820 --> 03:26:13.820
However, I am not thrilled with the kind

03:26:13.820 --> 03:26:18.820
of micro abrasive surface of these ceramic brackets.

03:26:19.060 --> 03:26:22.220
And if anyone had told me that they sit prouder

03:26:22.220 --> 03:26:25.260
off the tooth than a traditional metal bracket,

03:26:25.260 --> 03:26:29.300
I would have gone for Invisalign or traditional train tracks.

03:26:29.300 --> 03:26:35.940
I would not have chosen these. They have caused significant internal damage

03:26:35.940 --> 03:26:40.180
to my mouth and it's very difficult for it to heal

03:26:40.180 --> 03:26:43.300
because they are so sharp.

03:26:43.300 --> 03:26:46.500
Like it's not like, it's not like it rubs.

03:26:46.500 --> 03:26:51.820
It's like it, it slices. It's unreal, especially the hook ones

03:26:51.820 --> 03:26:54.820
that are for the elastics that go here and here.

03:26:54.820 --> 03:26:59.060
I have to get this semi-permanent wax coating

03:26:59.060 --> 03:27:02.420
that they cure with the UV light on basically

03:27:02.420 --> 03:27:06.740
from behind the canines all the way up on the top

03:27:06.740 --> 03:27:11.260
and bottom in order for them to not just shred

03:27:11.260 --> 03:27:14.640
the insides of my mouth. And that's even after multiple times,

03:27:14.640 --> 03:27:18.140
shredding and scar tissue and shredding and scar tissue.

03:27:18.140 --> 03:27:22.980
Like I had braces when I was younger. And my ortho did say that part of it is just being older now

03:27:22.980 --> 03:27:25.980
and not healing as fast. But I had train tracks when I was younger

03:27:25.980 --> 03:27:29.140
and there's no way that they were this sharp.

03:27:29.140 --> 03:27:31.520
They just weren't, they're super sharp.

03:27:34.940 --> 03:27:38.100
Hey, LLD, Linus, out of all the projects

03:27:38.100 --> 03:27:43.860
you've subjected your home to over the years, which ones had the most unforeseen consequences?

03:27:43.860 --> 03:27:47.800
Light switches, my wife hates them so much.

03:27:48.800 --> 03:27:53.440
Like I could have said the pool water cooling loop, but I foresaw that that could leak.

03:27:53.440 --> 03:27:56.760
Whereas the light switches and my whole family being irritated with me,

03:27:56.760 --> 03:28:00.760
I thought they were gonna be a boon. I think we're working within a valley

03:28:00.760 --> 03:28:04.160
to do better ones soon. Yeah, stay tuned.

03:28:06.160 --> 03:28:11.000
Hello, L to the L to the D. Yeah, I know you know me.

03:28:11.000 --> 03:28:14.160
Linus, who is your favorite Bob's Burger character

03:28:14.160 --> 03:28:18.120
and why is it Mr. Fish odor? Oh, it's definitely not Mr. Fish odor.

03:28:18.120 --> 03:28:23.120
I like Calvin Fish odor, but favorite, oh my God, I mean,

03:28:26.760 --> 03:28:31.080
I think Louise is probably my ADHD spirit animal

03:28:31.080 --> 03:28:37.240
if I had to pick a Bob's Burger favorite character. She's, yeah, she's amazing.

03:28:39.360 --> 03:28:44.360
I finally built my first PC, 9070 XT with a 9070 X,

03:28:45.000 --> 03:28:50.680
whilst installing the NHD 15, I slightly gouged the cold plate.

03:28:50.680 --> 03:28:55.520
Is this likely to affect cooling or is there any way to test whether this is affecting my cooling?

03:28:55.520 --> 03:29:01.840
It is very unlikely to affect cooling. The only time I would think it would be a concern

03:29:01.840 --> 03:29:06.920
is if you gouged it enough that a bit of the metal has like peeled up

03:29:06.920 --> 03:29:10.080
and it's holding it away from the CPU.

03:29:10.080 --> 03:29:13.360
That's the only way that I'd really be concerned. A little scratch in the bottom of your heatsink.

03:29:13.360 --> 03:29:16.920
The whole like mirror finish thing is mostly for show.

03:29:16.920 --> 03:29:19.680
It's mostly about overall flatness of the mating surfaces.

03:29:21.680 --> 03:29:25.640
Will the backpack magnetic chest strap return?

03:29:25.640 --> 03:29:29.640
I wanted to get another one for my commuter bag. PS, I'm looking forward to the reading.

03:29:29.640 --> 03:29:33.760
I'm looking forward to reading the ABCs of gaming to my daughter when she is born.

03:29:33.760 --> 03:29:38.240
Congratulations. I actually have no idea

03:29:38.240 --> 03:29:42.720
if the backpack magnetic chest strap is returning. Dan, is this one that we could maybe just forward

03:29:42.720 --> 03:29:47.080
to the CW team? Let me... And we could get them an answer that way.

03:29:47.080 --> 03:29:50.920
They didn't put their email in there. So I will do that manually

03:29:52.120 --> 03:29:55.760
by starting a group chat and then scheduling a message. Oh, no, wait.

03:30:00.240 --> 03:30:01.080
Add them.

03:30:04.080 --> 03:30:06.680
Okay, I'll just leave that one for there for now.

03:30:07.840 --> 03:30:11.720
Let's see. Love the show. With you discussing your recent flight,

03:30:11.720 --> 03:30:15.360
I was wondering, is there any new plane or airliner tech

03:30:15.360 --> 03:30:18.280
that you find interesting? Oh man, that new supersonic.

03:30:20.600 --> 03:30:23.960
So cool. It like doesn't have... Is it actually happening?

03:30:23.960 --> 03:30:28.240
It doesn't have sonic booms. Yeah, no, it's like happening. They're like doing test flights and stuff, I thought.

03:30:30.480 --> 03:30:34.560
New supersonic. Who makes it? Is it what's the nuts?

03:30:34.560 --> 03:30:40.080
The one that's been struggling, Boeing? New supersonic passenger jet.

03:30:40.080 --> 03:30:44.120
No, it wasn't them, was it? The boom overture.

03:30:44.120 --> 03:30:49.720
Yeah, who makes this thing? I can't remember, but 60 to 80 passengers

03:30:49.720 --> 03:30:53.480
at speeds of Mach 1.7 over water

03:30:53.480 --> 03:30:56.520
and Mach 1.3 over land to minimize sonic booms.

03:30:56.520 --> 03:31:00.160
Is that right? Does that sound right, you guys?

03:31:02.080 --> 03:31:05.480
Yeah, if it ever makes it... That thing looks crazy. Dude, right?

03:31:05.480 --> 03:31:10.400
Ah! It's like a dart. It's so cool, look at it go!

03:31:10.400 --> 03:31:11.240
Ah!

03:31:14.040 --> 03:31:15.320
So that's super cool.

03:31:17.240 --> 03:31:23.040
Oh, what's their nuts? Is it the 777X that has the way better cabin pressure?

03:31:23.040 --> 03:31:28.000
So it's supposed to end better humidity, so it has higher humidity and more cabin pressure,

03:31:28.000 --> 03:31:31.520
so it's supposed to significantly reduce jet lag

03:31:31.520 --> 03:31:36.880
because part of jet lag is that you're in this slightly deoxygenated environment with thinner air

03:31:36.880 --> 03:31:40.080
for an extended period of time, and also there's like no moisture in it

03:31:40.080 --> 03:31:43.320
because of the air recycling something, something, et cetera,

03:31:43.320 --> 03:31:47.280
because they're bringing in that super high up air and then they're mixing it with the...

03:31:47.280 --> 03:31:51.560
I've read an article about how the internal cabin pressure

03:31:51.560 --> 03:31:54.880
and climate control works, and then I've kind of forgotten half of it,

03:31:54.880 --> 03:32:00.720
so take all of this for the sort of ignorant rambling that it is, but yeah, the 777X seems super cool

03:32:00.720 --> 03:32:05.480
if they ever managed to frickin' deliver any of them.

03:32:05.480 --> 03:32:09.600
Good luck with that, Boeing. What else is really cool?

03:32:09.600 --> 03:32:11.620
Oh, the new global is amazing.

03:32:12.880 --> 03:32:18.520
Global 8000, I think it is. Seriously, this thing is wild.

03:32:18.520 --> 03:32:23.520
8000 nautical miles, Mach 0.95, and look at it.

03:32:26.600 --> 03:32:30.280
Bombardier! Bombardier!

03:32:31.280 --> 03:32:33.240
This one's automatically cooler.

03:32:35.280 --> 03:32:37.640
I mean, look how cool this guy riding in it is.

03:32:38.760 --> 03:32:40.680
I think his trust fund is pretty cool.

03:32:41.800 --> 03:32:46.680
Yeah, I don't know. This might be out of trust fund kitty price point range, Luke.

03:32:48.120 --> 03:32:55.560
Yeah, this is like a birthday present money. This is, no, no, no, no, this is I invested very well

03:32:55.560 --> 03:32:59.640
and made a lot of money. I'm a startup founder for sure

03:32:59.640 --> 03:33:03.920
if I have one of these. This is, I found my Bitcoin hard drive.

03:33:03.920 --> 03:33:08.120
Yeah, yeah, there, that's the one. That's the Dan found his Bitcoin hard drive.

03:33:08.120 --> 03:33:13.880
Sorry, Dan. I think this one's 60 mil or so.

03:33:13.880 --> 03:33:16.860
I forget what a global 8000 is worth.

03:33:18.040 --> 03:33:22.200
Starting price. Lots of cool stuff happening in aviation right now.

03:33:22.200 --> 03:33:28.480
Oh, oh, okay. AI overview says starting price is approximately 78 million.

03:33:29.000 --> 03:33:32.600
AI overview, I thought you don't read those. I do if it's the only option.

03:33:32.600 --> 03:33:37.600
A lot of the time you, like, it's not like Bombardier puts a freaking MSRP on their site.

03:33:37.600 --> 03:33:41.080
So you just have to kind of hope that someone was talking about it somewhere.

03:33:41.080 --> 03:33:44.920
Wikipedia has 71 million in 2014.

03:33:44.920 --> 03:33:48.080
But wait, what does that doesn't make any sense? The 8000 is new.

03:33:50.560 --> 03:33:54.480
Oh yeah, you're gonna trust that AI overview? You know what, who's Luna Jets?

03:33:54.480 --> 03:33:57.080
Who are you? Yeah, whatever.

03:33:58.080 --> 03:34:01.480
Okay, so these guys are what, like a charter something?

03:34:01.480 --> 03:34:05.920
Control F dollar sign. It is expected to enter service in 2025

03:34:05.920 --> 03:34:10.840
and comes with a list price of 78 million. Okay, these guys seem maybe somewhat credible.

03:34:10.840 --> 03:34:15.720
I don't know though, that's all I got. I've never actually contacted Bombardier.

03:34:16.920 --> 03:34:21.760
Yet. What I have done is wear this. That was interesting today.

03:34:21.760 --> 03:34:24.920
Wow, the heck was that? I walked through that shoot.

03:34:24.920 --> 03:34:29.920
I just don't want to ask questions anymore. One of the new writers.

03:34:29.920 --> 03:34:31.840
One of the new writers.

03:34:33.720 --> 03:34:37.680
That's what we call. He's got some ideas. That's what we call company perks.

03:34:37.680 --> 03:34:41.040
All right, up next. Linus has no reaction.

03:34:41.040 --> 03:34:46.680
Hey, Lyme's Lunk and Dawn. I've been hearing a little about GPMI cable

03:34:46.680 --> 03:34:51.080
that's being developed in China to replace the USBC standard.

03:34:51.080 --> 03:34:55.280
Any thoughts, thanks in advance. I thought it was a display cable.

03:34:55.280 --> 03:34:58.400
HDMI replacement. I had a Google about this earlier.

03:34:58.400 --> 03:35:02.320
HDMI DisplayPort and USBC replacement. So cool.

03:35:02.320 --> 03:35:03.760
It sounds super cool.

03:35:05.360 --> 03:35:08.960
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we actually talked about this on land like quite a while ago.

03:35:08.960 --> 03:35:13.960
Yeah, we did. So there's type B with the proprietary connector,

03:35:13.960 --> 03:35:17.480
480 watts, 192 gigabit per second.

03:35:17.480 --> 03:35:20.520
And then there's the one that uses the USBC connector,

03:35:20.520 --> 03:35:25.160
but USB has so much inertia.

03:35:25.880 --> 03:35:28.440
I don't see it.

03:35:31.360 --> 03:35:36.680
Chinese, over 50 Chinese member companies, including Huawei, Skyworth, Hisense, and TCL.

03:35:36.680 --> 03:35:43.000
Like, okay, but you are actually going to need companies outside of China to sign on to this thing

03:35:43.000 --> 03:35:50.240
if you want it to be a global standard. And man, it would suck if Chinese tech had its own standard

03:35:51.280 --> 03:35:54.800
for how things plug in that just like didn't work anywhere else in the world.

03:35:54.800 --> 03:35:56.280
That would be a downer.

03:35:59.200 --> 03:36:05.760
Like how could I buy my giant TCL TV from China for like $9,000 less than the one that I would have

03:36:05.760 --> 03:36:08.920
to buy in North America if it used a different display interface?

03:36:08.920 --> 03:36:12.760
Luke, think of the spoiled overgrown children.

03:36:14.520 --> 03:36:16.280
Won't somebody please think of them?

03:36:20.560 --> 03:36:27.120
A Bombardier is. How are the other colors of cargo pants coming along?

03:36:28.760 --> 03:36:32.280
I don't know. Were you even doing that?

03:36:32.280 --> 03:36:35.880
Did you see that picture of that dude that died his?

03:36:35.880 --> 03:36:39.040
I did, that was so cool. It actually looked really good.

03:36:39.040 --> 03:36:42.440
Yeah. It looked awesome. Hold on.

03:36:48.600 --> 03:36:52.280
Here it is. I used a RIT die.

03:36:52.280 --> 03:36:55.680
Yeah. Damn. Those actually look really sharp.

03:36:55.680 --> 03:36:59.720
Look and fly, buddy. So there you go.

03:36:59.720 --> 03:37:03.440
The progress is do it yourself. What are you lazy?

03:37:03.440 --> 03:37:06.840
No, we're working on Navy blue. I just don't know when it's coming.

03:37:06.840 --> 03:37:10.040
I would have to check the dock. Okay.

03:37:18.040 --> 03:37:21.080
Feel free to do other things while I do that.

03:37:21.080 --> 03:37:25.640
Sure. Did I have one in here for Luke?

03:37:25.640 --> 03:37:29.800
No. Well, I mean, Luke could answer this. Hi, LLD.

03:37:29.800 --> 03:37:33.800
Would you ever want to voice act in anything? A new game, Dispatch,

03:37:33.800 --> 03:37:38.240
has many prominent YouTubers like Charlie, Moist Critical.

03:37:38.240 --> 03:37:42.600
What would your dream role be? I'd be so down.

03:37:42.600 --> 03:37:48.960
I've actually said this before, I would love to. I don't think I have a great voice for it personally,

03:37:48.960 --> 03:37:51.280
but I would love to do it. Oh, better than mine.

03:37:52.160 --> 03:37:55.400
I don't know. You could be one of those like sidekicks,

03:37:55.400 --> 03:37:57.400
like you could do a clap trap or something.

03:38:00.720 --> 03:38:03.880
Why are you mean? What did I do to you today?

03:38:03.880 --> 03:38:06.800
I think that's actually just a fireball offense to say that.

03:38:07.760 --> 03:38:11.120
That's so mean. Why did people call me Jar Jar?

03:38:11.120 --> 03:38:14.920
I was gonna say those characters that have playable rights. Hey, you didn't write them.

03:38:14.920 --> 03:38:17.920
You didn't write them. It's not your fault.

03:38:22.000 --> 03:38:27.360
Yeah, I would love to. I don't know what kind of,

03:38:27.360 --> 03:38:32.160
I don't know, probably something angry. I have no idea. Down for whatever though.

03:38:32.160 --> 03:38:35.160
Would be great. I hope it happens someday.

03:38:35.200 --> 03:38:39.200
I've thought about trying to do like an audio book at some time. I thought that'd be kind of neat.

03:38:41.320 --> 03:38:47.440
Film too, multiple times. I have thought that it was gonna happen,

03:38:47.440 --> 03:38:52.080
even going as far as shooting apart, but it's never happened.

03:38:52.080 --> 03:38:55.880
I don't even need to be paid. It would just be kind of fun to be like the,

03:38:55.880 --> 03:39:00.200
you know, the like tech guy who, you know, goes to try to fix your computer

03:39:00.200 --> 03:39:04.440
and is like, sorry, it's busted, you know, whatever. Like, or I don't even have to say the line.

03:39:04.720 --> 03:39:08.320
You could just like, I could be standing behind the counter in like a geek squad alike

03:39:08.320 --> 03:39:12.480
and you could hand me your laptop and I would just turn around and take it into the back or something.

03:39:12.480 --> 03:39:14.120
I'd be so down for a bit part.

03:39:16.240 --> 03:39:21.440
People are suggesting that I do this. I don't know why. You should consider an audio book version

03:39:21.440 --> 03:39:24.960
of the ABCs of gaming. Oh, it's kind of cool.

03:39:24.960 --> 03:39:29.480
It hasn't really sold that well though, especially recently. I don't know if it would be,

03:39:29.480 --> 03:39:32.720
I don't know if enough people care. It'd be cool though.

03:39:33.000 --> 03:39:36.360
It'd be cool though. It'd be kind of neat.

03:39:36.360 --> 03:39:41.680
Oh yeah, here we go. Cargo pants, two new colors, Q126.

03:39:45.240 --> 03:39:48.920
That's the plan, but nothing's a guarantee when it's like four months away.

03:39:51.440 --> 03:39:55.360
Hey, why not DLL? How's the tactics run going?

03:39:55.360 --> 03:39:58.720
Just wrapped up my 100% achievement run and loved every second of it.

03:39:58.720 --> 03:40:04.200
Nice. I'm on tactician and I'm stuck on the fight

03:40:04.200 --> 03:40:07.320
with what's as nuts with the stupid ice gun

03:40:07.320 --> 03:40:14.640
that is the second before the last. And I think that I'm feeling pretty down about it

03:40:14.640 --> 03:40:19.920
because I screwed up and I got a couple of my flame shields broken.

03:40:19.920 --> 03:40:25.800
And so my plan was to use my calculator to just cast fire on everyone

03:40:25.800 --> 03:40:30.520
and use that to heal up my side and then also nuke the other side

03:40:30.520 --> 03:40:35.980
and just kind of cheese it that way. But because I lost like two of my flame shields

03:40:35.980 --> 03:40:39.800
in one of the previous encounters, I don't have enough of them for the rest of my squad.

03:40:39.800 --> 03:40:43.800
So I've played a couple times and gotten my butt absolutely handed to me

03:40:43.800 --> 03:40:48.800
because on tactician, every opponent gets super juiced up HP

03:40:49.200 --> 03:40:52.320
and damage and I get nerfed damage.

03:40:52.320 --> 03:40:56.480
And so all these like stupid dragons just rip through me.

03:40:56.480 --> 03:40:59.720
Like basically everyone's a one hit sometimes,

03:40:59.720 --> 03:41:03.080
like one hit on multiple of my guys

03:41:03.080 --> 03:41:06.400
and then jackass with the stupid ice gun

03:41:06.400 --> 03:41:10.440
just disables my guys and does whatever he wants from across the map.

03:41:10.440 --> 03:41:14.920
So I just, I don't think I'm equipped properly, which means I have to go back like two fights.

03:41:14.920 --> 03:41:20.400
I have to lose two fights or two or three fights worth of progress and then like go back to the shop

03:41:20.400 --> 03:41:24.720
and grind some stuff and then go back. So I'm a little stuck right now, but.

03:41:27.040 --> 03:41:29.480
Maybe I can find a way to cheese it. I'm not sure.

03:41:31.320 --> 03:41:36.160
Love the look of the new hoodie. Anno 117, what's your thoughts?

03:41:36.160 --> 03:41:39.360
Watched much content about it? I'm really looking forward to it.

03:41:39.360 --> 03:41:43.360
I haven't, I haven't played the demo. I haven't watched much content.

03:41:43.360 --> 03:41:47.860
I'll play it when it comes out, but I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics recently.

03:41:49.280 --> 03:41:53.840
Beep, bop, boop. Aside from CPUs and headphones coming soon,

03:41:53.840 --> 03:41:57.520
what other Labs categories might be coming eventually?

03:41:57.520 --> 03:42:02.440
And will Labs do articles slash testing for certain items outside of these categories regularly?

03:42:05.960 --> 03:42:10.400
We already do Labs articles outside of those categories

03:42:10.400 --> 03:42:15.400
and we will, doing Labs articles specifically

03:42:16.440 --> 03:42:21.160
within the categories that we support is not a goal of Labs articles at all.

03:42:21.160 --> 03:42:24.520
It's also not a goal to not do articles

03:42:24.520 --> 03:42:27.800
about categories that we do support. We just do articles when we think

03:42:27.800 --> 03:42:31.400
it makes sense to do articles. If we're inspired to ask a question

03:42:31.400 --> 03:42:35.200
or if something is particularly interesting, we'll make an article for it.

03:42:35.200 --> 03:42:38.240
That's it. In regards to future verticals

03:42:38.240 --> 03:42:42.160
beyond the ones I've already said are coming, I don't really want to commit to those

03:42:42.160 --> 03:42:47.960
because plans could change. We'll try not to over promise and deliver on Labs again.

03:42:48.040 --> 03:42:54.160
Again. But yeah, sorry, I know that's somewhat of a non-answer.

03:42:54.160 --> 03:42:58.520
I am very excited about this stuff and there's been some really, really cool progress made.

03:42:58.520 --> 03:43:05.160
I just really don't want to over promise. We've been burned pretty hard by overextending on Labs

03:43:05.160 --> 03:43:08.360
and our goal is to stay the course,

03:43:08.360 --> 03:43:12.920
stick to the original vision, which is to have data backed,

03:43:12.920 --> 03:43:16.760
very entertaining tech content across many channels

03:43:16.760 --> 03:43:18.920
that is still the direction for the company.

03:43:20.120 --> 03:43:24.560
But we're just going to have to, instead of doing it out in public

03:43:24.560 --> 03:43:29.560
where our attack surfaces are larger,

03:43:31.760 --> 03:43:34.000
we're just kind of doing it a little more quietly.

03:43:35.800 --> 03:43:39.240
Hey, LLD, using that discounted gift card now

03:43:39.240 --> 03:43:42.920
instead of saving it. Thoughts on YouTube making greater

03:43:42.920 --> 03:43:46.360
than two times playback speed a premium only feature.

03:43:46.360 --> 03:43:49.840
Seems kind of silly to me, but maybe it's a bandwidth thing.

03:43:49.840 --> 03:43:52.860
I think it's more that it's a thing that most people don't need.

03:43:55.040 --> 03:44:01.480
And so if you're one of those special snowflakes that needs this like super, super, super fast playback speed,

03:44:01.480 --> 03:44:04.840
then from their perspective, it's like, okay, well then you can just pay for premium

03:44:04.840 --> 03:44:09.400
is what I would guess. It's the kind of thing that most people

03:44:09.400 --> 03:44:15.360
would not be up in arms over them paywalling. So therefore, they have the flexibility to do it.

03:44:15.360 --> 03:44:18.440
Whether that's a right kind of logic,

03:44:19.440 --> 03:44:24.880
I don't know that I leave open for debate, but it's clear that there won't be an overwhelming amount

03:44:24.880 --> 03:44:28.120
of public pressure on them to make this a free feature.

03:44:28.120 --> 03:44:33.120
So they don't have to, would be my guess.

03:44:33.360 --> 03:44:37.960
Yeah, I don't think that it's for benefit reasons.

03:44:37.960 --> 03:44:41.640
My reason for that is because if you watch a video faster

03:44:41.640 --> 03:44:45.840
and you're like min-maxing things like that, you're probably a YouTube enjoyer.

03:44:45.840 --> 03:44:49.760
And if you're a YouTube enjoyer and you watch a video faster, you're probably gonna watch another video faster.

03:44:49.760 --> 03:44:54.880
And the more videos you watch, the more ads you're served. And realistically, as much as our audience

03:44:54.880 --> 03:44:57.160
is extremely high population ad block users,

03:44:58.120 --> 03:45:01.480
during the ad block fiasco,

03:45:01.480 --> 03:45:04.680
there was a lot of channels that didn't look like they got affected almost at all.

03:45:06.800 --> 03:45:09.600
And I think that's probably most of YouTube, to be honest.

03:45:10.440 --> 03:45:15.440
Got a bonus at work, oh yeah, sorry.

03:45:17.520 --> 03:45:22.280
Got a bonus at work and am treating myself to some LTT merch and a new gaming rig.

03:45:22.280 --> 03:45:28.360
Oh, nice. Early on, what was a treat yourself moment as a parent?

03:45:28.680 --> 03:45:32.440
I tend to spend more on the kids when I have extra cash.

03:45:34.160 --> 03:45:38.640
Oh man, probably my most exciting and fulfilling treat myself

03:45:38.640 --> 03:45:41.680
when I was very early in my parenting days

03:45:41.680 --> 03:45:46.640
was an NVIDIA SHIELD portable, which originally was just called,

03:45:46.640 --> 03:45:50.560
which back when I back in those days was just called NVIDIA SHIELD.

03:45:51.800 --> 03:45:54.240
Let me see if I can bring up some images of it.

03:45:55.560 --> 03:45:59.200
Here, Linus, boom.

03:45:59.200 --> 03:46:02.200
Nope, not tablet. Nope, not that.

03:46:04.640 --> 03:46:07.240
What is this? Okay, hold on.

03:46:09.640 --> 03:46:13.440
Okay, you know what, hold on one second.

03:46:13.440 --> 03:46:18.440
I was at, wait, yeah, we can say where we were

03:46:18.600 --> 03:46:21.600
in California, right Luke? The one we went to together? I think so.

03:46:21.600 --> 03:46:26.840
Yeah, there's gonna be a video, hopefully. I was at NVIDIA recently and I think it was you

03:46:26.840 --> 03:46:33.080
I pointed it out to, the shipping label on something that was addressed to ENVIDIA NVIDIA.

03:46:33.080 --> 03:46:36.280
I thought it was IN. Was it? Okay, it was something.

03:46:36.280 --> 03:46:39.600
It had a letter before the N. I thought that was cute.

03:46:41.800 --> 03:46:44.800
Anywho, NVIDIA Project SHIELD.

03:46:45.920 --> 03:46:49.840
Man, look at baby Linus 12 years ago.

03:46:49.840 --> 03:46:53.080
Look at this thing. This thing is so cool.

03:46:53.080 --> 03:47:00.120
Android handheld. This was the first time we saw in-home game streaming

03:47:00.420 --> 03:47:03.600
using the encoder on your gaming systems GPU

03:47:03.600 --> 03:47:07.640
to play games at 720p on your little handheld Android device.

03:47:08.360 --> 03:47:12.520
I played all of the Tomb Raider reboot,

03:47:12.520 --> 03:47:16.060
like the first game on that handheld, all of it.

03:47:16.060 --> 03:47:20.320
I never got to touch my desktop because I was always dealing with the kids or holding a kid

03:47:20.320 --> 03:47:23.920
or doing something to do with the kid or work because I had a young company too.

03:47:23.920 --> 03:47:28.920
And finding ways to still be able to enjoy the hobbies

03:47:29.200 --> 03:47:33.600
that you used to have when you have kids is, okay, did I really spend it on myself?

03:47:33.600 --> 03:47:38.200
Yes, sort of, but also only because of the kids. Otherwise I could have just sat at my computer.

03:47:39.400 --> 03:47:44.760
So that was a treat yourself. And then I also treated myself to a really nice pair of headphones that I'm actually still using today

03:47:44.760 --> 03:47:48.400
back in the early days of having kids, my Sennheiser HD 600s.

03:47:48.400 --> 03:47:53.400
Although, DMS tells me that Sennheiser has made a candidate

03:47:53.680 --> 03:47:57.480
for me to replace them with. I haven't tried them yet though. Yeah, do you have those yet?

03:47:57.480 --> 03:48:01.560
No, I don't. My goodness, man. I think I tried them.

03:48:03.040 --> 03:48:06.600
Can't remember. They're great. Looking forward to it.

03:48:06.600 --> 03:48:09.560
Price to performance. Obscene. Cool.

03:48:11.160 --> 03:48:15.520
Hello, wen.dll.

03:48:15.520 --> 03:48:20.640
So the same. Linus, when your sleep schedule is as bad

03:48:20.640 --> 03:48:25.080
as it's been this week, how do you recenter and get back on track?

03:48:25.080 --> 03:48:27.840
Asking for me and my very stressed brain.

03:48:28.680 --> 03:48:33.680
You just don't have the luxury of not being on track.

03:48:35.240 --> 03:48:39.880
And I know that's kind of a bulls*** answer that you don't really want to hear.

03:48:39.880 --> 03:48:46.320
But it's kind of the same. Like, I don't know. I had this conversation very recently at an onsite event.

03:48:46.320 --> 03:48:50.640
And I didn't shake hands with anybody. I just like fist bumped.

03:48:50.640 --> 03:48:56.160
And they were just like, yeah, I don't know. I just, yeah, I prefer the elbow bump or the fist bump too.

03:48:56.160 --> 03:48:59.760
But I just always feel pressured to shake hands. And I'm just like, yeah, well,

03:48:59.760 --> 03:49:03.040
there is no getting pressured to shake hands. I can't afford to be sick.

03:49:06.560 --> 03:49:11.480
I don't have time to be sick. I don't have time to have my brain not centered.

03:49:11.480 --> 03:49:16.120
So what I do when I'm crossing like large time zone differences is I will,

03:49:16.120 --> 03:49:19.600
I'll manage my sleep so that I do an extremely long day

03:49:19.600 --> 03:49:25.280
so that when I get to where I am, I am wiped at bedtime.

03:49:25.320 --> 03:49:28.680
And then you set an alarm. You don't have a choice.

03:49:28.680 --> 03:49:33.120
You have to get up in the morning. You make sure you spend time outside. Exercise is really good.

03:49:33.120 --> 03:49:36.760
And that's it. There just isn't another option.

03:49:36.760 --> 03:49:41.760
And I'm sorry, that's the best answer I have

03:49:42.320 --> 03:49:44.600
because it's not fun. I don't want to do it.

03:49:46.480 --> 03:49:49.560
But for so many years, like if I'm sick

03:49:49.560 --> 03:49:51.000
or I'm out of commission,

03:49:52.600 --> 03:49:56.880
like even then when I came back from Asia just now, I technically had like two days booked off

03:49:56.880 --> 03:49:59.160
but like I ended up working a lot of them

03:50:00.120 --> 03:50:03.120
because I just don't really have that luxury.

03:50:03.120 --> 03:50:07.840
So I still timed my sleep so that I would be up during the day, the very next day.

03:50:07.840 --> 03:50:12.720
Yeah. PC Master Reyes says, please cover this more.

03:50:12.720 --> 03:50:16.040
There's no more that I can really say about it, but

03:50:19.880 --> 03:50:23.120
other than yeah, you just gotta be motivated. How about you, Luke?

03:50:24.120 --> 03:50:26.200
What was the core question again?

03:50:28.160 --> 03:50:32.240
Oh shoot, Dan archived it. How do you get your brain realigned

03:50:32.240 --> 03:50:34.960
after having bad sleeps, basically?

03:50:36.120 --> 03:50:41.960
Oh. He wants tips for his very stressed brain.

03:50:45.760 --> 03:50:52.960
Makes Luke laugh harder. Yeah. I mean, it's just like I, I don't know.

03:50:54.840 --> 03:50:57.960
I don't think I like almost ever have a sleep schedule

03:50:57.960 --> 03:51:02.040
that's like even sort of reasonable. So it's just sort of a constant state.

03:51:02.040 --> 03:51:03.680
I try to do the best I can.

03:51:05.200 --> 03:51:08.840
It feels like every time that I'm on a really good streak,

03:51:08.840 --> 03:51:13.240
I just get destroyed by something that there was like

03:51:13.240 --> 03:51:19.920
no way I could foresee and no way I could avoid other than just deeply shirking responsibilities,

03:51:19.920 --> 03:51:21.400
which I'm not going to do.

03:51:23.000 --> 03:51:26.160
Yeah. He'd never sleep past like a flight departure time

03:51:26.160 --> 03:51:29.160
or anything. Hey, it's been a long time. That's true.

03:51:29.160 --> 03:51:31.160
It's actually been a long time. It's actually true.

03:51:32.400 --> 03:51:35.920
I don't know what was going on back then, man. I would sleep through so many alarms.

03:51:35.920 --> 03:51:40.560
It is not really, it is a problem still, but it's very, very rare.

03:51:40.560 --> 03:51:45.760
And it used to be like horrible. But yeah, I don't know.

03:51:45.760 --> 03:51:49.200
You just kind of get through it. Obviously you'll be rough that day.

03:51:52.200 --> 03:51:56.400
Try to not let it chain. The biggest thing for me is don't let it happen

03:51:56.400 --> 03:52:00.400
two days in a row. Don't have a really bad sleep two days in a row

03:52:00.400 --> 03:52:05.120
because I can often tank one day of it, but the second it chains even once,

03:52:05.120 --> 03:52:06.640
it's like a huge problem.

03:52:08.920 --> 03:52:14.160
Yeah, I don't know. And understand that you are operating almost certainly

03:52:14.160 --> 03:52:17.360
at effectively a lower IQ when you're like significantly lacking sleep.

03:52:17.360 --> 03:52:21.160
Oh yeah. Dude, I mean, they see it on Wansha once in a while

03:52:21.160 --> 03:52:26.040
with both of us. Yep. We get like actually kind of dumb.

03:52:26.040 --> 03:52:31.360
Yep. And that's like just obviously not a good thing

03:52:31.360 --> 03:52:35.160
in any scenario. So like, try to avoid it.

03:52:35.160 --> 03:52:40.120
It's a problem for me. I don't know. I don't know, I think we should have more paint.

03:52:40.160 --> 03:52:44.240
And lower IQs. I don't know. I think I've talked to you about this,

03:52:44.240 --> 03:52:48.760
but I genuinely think that kind of dumber people seem happier in general.

03:52:49.760 --> 03:52:54.880
Oh, no, that's a proven... Like they just seem like they don't have the burden

03:52:54.880 --> 03:52:59.840
of understanding what's going on. And it seems like it's just kind of easier for them

03:52:59.840 --> 03:53:01.960
to just chill and be kind of happy.

03:53:03.760 --> 03:53:08.600
Yeah. I'm happy for them, but not really because I understand what's going on.

03:53:08.600 --> 03:53:09.440
Yeah.

03:53:13.840 --> 03:53:17.720
All right, what's next? Hi, LLD.

03:53:17.720 --> 03:53:21.680
What dod you think about the Android XR

03:53:21.680 --> 03:53:25.200
and great video with Luke and the Vision Pro? I don't know, man.

03:53:25.200 --> 03:53:28.920
It feels like Samsung just will desperately clone

03:53:28.920 --> 03:53:35.360
anything that Apple makes, no matter how stupid it is. Like the Vision Pro was such a colossal commercial failure

03:53:35.360 --> 03:53:37.800
that I'm surprised they even bothered to bring the Android XR

03:53:38.560 --> 03:53:42.880
to market, but yeah, good luck with that.

03:53:44.280 --> 03:53:48.440
Dear LLD. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, hold on.

03:53:48.440 --> 03:53:52.200
I thought this was the Galaxy XR. Hold on, hold on, Android XR,

03:53:52.200 --> 03:53:56.280
you mean the operating system for it?

03:53:57.880 --> 03:54:04.840
Yeah, I think it was separate from the VR thing. Oh, sorry, okay. As for Android XR, I've never tried it.

03:54:04.840 --> 03:54:11.080
I've never actually tried it. I just thought it was really funny that Apple made a product that nobody really wants

03:54:11.080 --> 03:54:14.760
and then immediately Samsung had to make one.

03:54:14.760 --> 03:54:19.720
It just, some things never change. The more they change, the more they stay the same.

03:54:19.720 --> 03:54:24.720
I also want to say I did see the comments on my video

03:54:25.040 --> 03:54:28.560
and I appreciate it a lot.

03:54:28.560 --> 03:54:29.800
I read all of them.

03:54:31.680 --> 03:54:35.960
I still think it's strange that people care that much,

03:54:35.960 --> 03:54:40.200
but I appreciate it. It was heartwarming because I,

03:54:40.200 --> 03:54:44.200
and you just said, you thought the video was good. I thought the video was bad.

03:54:44.200 --> 03:54:47.400
I was expecting it to get trashed and then everyone was like, oh, it's cool.

03:54:47.400 --> 03:54:51.160
So that was, thank you. I think just as a VR enthusiast

03:54:51.160 --> 03:54:54.200
who hasn't really played around with the Vision Pro much,

03:54:54.200 --> 03:54:57.440
it was really cool to hear your perspective. Like I-

03:54:57.440 --> 03:55:02.040
You watched it? I watched about the first four minutes

03:55:02.040 --> 03:55:05.640
and I was like, yeah, this is chill. And then I was done reading comments by then.

03:55:06.160 --> 03:55:09.720
So then I moved on. But I liked the vibe.

03:55:09.720 --> 03:55:13.440
It was good. It was just, it was good energy. Yeah.

03:55:13.440 --> 03:55:18.200
Like it was cool. I had fun filming it. And that's the key.

03:55:18.200 --> 03:55:21.360
Like that's everything. Like genuinely had a pretty good time filming it,

03:55:21.360 --> 03:55:23.840
which was a little bit surprising to me as well.

03:55:25.080 --> 03:55:29.280
It felt strange for me because I haven't done short circuits.

03:55:30.440 --> 03:55:34.760
That was my first actual ShortCircuit. Yeah, it's just LTT, but like the old style.

03:55:35.280 --> 03:55:42.240
But so old. So like it was like kind of familiar,

03:55:43.200 --> 03:55:47.680
but in a weird way where like, wait, so much.

03:55:47.680 --> 03:55:53.600
I didn't do that form of LTT for that long. I did scripted for a higher percentage of my,

03:55:53.600 --> 03:55:57.320
oh, you've been making it. Yeah. But then you started doing short circuits.

03:55:57.320 --> 03:56:02.240
I don't know. It was weird. It felt familiar, but like I was doing something wrong

03:56:02.240 --> 03:56:06.680
at the same time, if that makes sense. Like I, as I was talking about things,

03:56:06.680 --> 03:56:10.480
I was like, man, I should be more prepared for this. I should like have used this for a while.

03:56:10.480 --> 03:56:14.160
And then I had to keep reminding myself like, no, no, that's the point of the channel.

03:56:14.160 --> 03:56:18.080
Yeah. But it's like, it was weird.

03:56:18.080 --> 03:56:21.600
Yeah. Yeah.

03:56:22.720 --> 03:56:26.680
Dear LLD. Linus is a retired professional painter.

03:56:26.680 --> 03:56:32.120
What is the correct surface finish of paint I should get egg shell or satin for striped paint?

03:56:33.000 --> 03:56:39.560
Okay. So I had to look this up. It turns out striped paint is a meme and I'm getting debated.

03:56:41.560 --> 03:56:46.560
I'm very confused. R slash explain the joke. Striped paint is a nonsensical product

03:56:46.560 --> 03:56:48.560
that doesn't exist. So very funny.

03:56:49.760 --> 03:56:53.280
But yeah, there would be no way to do this. That is not a thing.

03:56:57.200 --> 03:57:00.760
Good try, but I'm not triggered. Only a little. Just a little bit.

03:57:01.760 --> 03:57:04.480
Could you alternate finishes between the stripes?

03:57:05.880 --> 03:57:10.000
If you were taking this more seriously. I mean, yeah, you could.

03:57:10.000 --> 03:57:14.720
Like I could see if it would actually give you kind of a cool effect because you'd have,

03:57:14.720 --> 03:57:18.400
it would make the flatter one look more like it's kind of in the background.

03:57:18.400 --> 03:57:21.400
And then the glossier one would look like it kind of pops a little bit more

03:57:21.400 --> 03:57:25.000
and it would catch the light a little bit more. So you could do that.

03:57:25.000 --> 03:57:26.600
What about checkered paint?

03:57:28.520 --> 03:57:33.000
Dan, tartan paint. What do you, tartan? What does tartan even mean?

03:57:33.000 --> 03:57:35.320
Is that a sauce? Sauce for fish?

03:57:36.920 --> 03:57:38.960
Tartan paint. What am I looking at here?

03:57:40.200 --> 03:57:43.840
He get, what? It's a pattern. What is this? Is this an English thing?

03:57:43.840 --> 03:57:47.240
R slash ask okay. Tartan is just. He gets given a tub of red paint

03:57:47.240 --> 03:57:50.480
with tartan written on the lid. Tartan is just a pattern.

03:57:50.480 --> 03:57:54.080
The Apprentice gets a licking for shaking the what?

03:57:55.080 --> 03:58:00.400
Oh, like on a Scottish kilt.

03:58:00.400 --> 03:58:06.000
That's the pattern, yeah, tartan. Yeah, tartan paint. What is all these paint memes?

03:58:06.000 --> 03:58:10.720
I wasn't even memeing with that one. Anywho, the last one I've got for you.

03:58:12.120 --> 03:58:15.680
I'm tired too. Hey, DLL question for Linus.

03:58:15.680 --> 03:58:18.680
What's one decision LMG made that you didn't like

03:58:18.680 --> 03:58:21.960
but ultimately proved to be good in the end?

03:58:24.440 --> 03:58:29.440
I didn't like, I mean, what did I didn't like?

03:58:33.040 --> 03:58:37.680
I can think of at least one. Okay, hit me. You're not gonna like it.

03:58:37.680 --> 03:58:41.480
Well, I mean, it ended up being good in the end though. I think so.

03:58:41.480 --> 03:58:45.640
Okay. In my opinion. Yeah, hit me. Not using go XLRs on Lin.

03:58:45.640 --> 03:58:50.320
Oh, okay. In the end is doing a lot of heavy lifting here though

03:58:50.320 --> 03:58:53.960
because in the interim, it would have been pretty great.

03:58:53.960 --> 03:58:58.040
For a long time that we had a lot of audio issues that could have been solved through it

03:58:58.040 --> 03:59:01.840
while we perfected this system. You got to learn things, dude.

03:59:01.840 --> 03:59:06.440
Yeah. I can't even remember what you had in here before. Oh my God, it was a nightmare.

03:59:06.440 --> 03:59:10.480
It was some eight channel, something, something. Oh God, it was a nightmare. It was like a laptop on a cart.

03:59:10.480 --> 03:59:15.600
It worked for one week. And then like they came and like helped us set it up

03:59:15.600 --> 03:59:19.400
and that was really great and it was awesome and it worked and then it didn't work ever again

03:59:19.400 --> 03:59:22.460
because I am too dumb to fix it.

03:59:23.460 --> 03:59:26.820
Basically. That's the fix it either.

03:59:26.820 --> 03:59:30.340
That's a, yeah, well. Wenshaw's curse, dude. Yeah.

03:59:30.340 --> 03:59:33.700
Wenshaw's curse. I got rid of the goats. I got rid of the ghosts. I would come in.

03:59:33.700 --> 03:59:39.580
Yeah, Dan operating it seems to be working, which is great, but like I would go home

03:59:39.580 --> 03:59:42.620
back when I was streaming and stream a bunch

03:59:42.620 --> 03:59:47.180
the entire week and never have an issue ever just like go live and everything would work perfectly.

03:59:47.180 --> 03:59:50.540
And then I'd come to work and we try to do land

03:59:50.540 --> 03:59:53.540
and it would never work. And I would try to fix it as the person

03:59:53.540 --> 03:59:57.540
who streamed all week, no problem. It could never fix it.

03:59:57.540 --> 04:00:02.140
It didn't matter. We could replace the entire system, replace all the auto, replace the entire computer,

04:00:02.140 --> 04:00:05.220
all the software, reinstall everything.

04:00:05.220 --> 04:00:09.580
To be fair, I think the ghosts moved to Sebastian's workstation.

04:00:09.580 --> 04:00:15.220
We've changed it many, many times. Have you, did you see the picture of his like teams?

04:00:16.660 --> 04:00:21.500
The teams icon on his taskbar was upside down.

04:00:22.540 --> 04:00:25.420
Which I didn't even know was a thing that was possible.

04:00:29.500 --> 04:00:33.420
I don't know if he's memeing on me, but like ghosts. Yeah, at what point are you just getting trolled?

04:00:33.420 --> 04:00:36.820
I don't think he has the bone in his body to do that,

04:00:36.820 --> 04:00:40.460
but wow, that poor man.

04:00:40.460 --> 04:00:42.900
So 10 years of ghosts went over to him.

04:00:45.420 --> 04:00:50.420
All right, I think that's it for this week.

04:00:51.260 --> 04:00:57.780
We will see you guys again next week. Same bad time, maybe a little earlier next week.

04:00:57.780 --> 04:01:02.140
Could we manage a little earlier next week? We can definitely manage a little earlier next week.

04:01:02.140 --> 04:01:05.420
Let's do it. Let's do it for that. Same bad channel.

04:01:05.420 --> 04:01:06.260
Bye.

04:01:09.340 --> 04:01:12.540
Seriously, that's the one there, war NT.

04:01:16.380 --> 04:01:17.220
It's so lonely.
