1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,920
Hey, when's our next thing next week don't say more details in that let me go look it up

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:17,880
I see it messages like this create filter perfect day

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:27,960
There are some people that really are have a very unique relationship with reality you're

4
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:38,480
unique thank you you know you catch a unique rabbit no unique up on it you know

5
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:48,480
how you catch a tame rabbit tame way stupid unique up I know you used to catch

6
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,960
bunnies really that UVic huh yeah and eat them no this was in your school days

7
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,880
I wouldn't put it past no no yeah you lay on the ground in the grass and stick your arms

8
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:09,320
way out and then slowly like pluck the grass but you want to break it so it makes it kind

9
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:14,080
of sound like rabbits eating and then the little ones will come right up next to your

10
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,080
hand because they often eat communally and then you just be like whoop okay mine now

11
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,520
and then you have a pet little bunny for the day so they're like the ducks at the pond

12
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,840
yeah they're just free right yeah and then you just go put them back if you want if you

13
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,920
want right yeah sometimes it takes one little adventure show them to people and stuff eventually

14
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,440
they'd get like super calm and just hang out and then when I go let them go they just kind

15
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,360
of like stare at me for a while and I'd have to convince it be like no you're good you

16
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,160
can go and then it would it would bounce away it's good yes I did see gold today gold had

17
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,800
a day yeah didn't it oh yeah yeah not as bad as silver but yeah but if you if you look

18
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,880
at the one year like look yeah yeah yeah but but gold had a day yeah gold had a day started

19
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:06,880
last night didn't it um I think so yeah yeah I think it's still way up yeah like if you

20
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,640
look a little wider even if you look at like six months it's still way up I mean yeah if

21
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,480
you look at one month it's still up I just wouldn't say it's way up yeah yeah yeah I mean it's

22
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,680
kind of way up I kind of want to buy the dip it's still up like 10% I know I want to buy

23
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,560
the dip yeah talk me out of it I don't know anything about stocks so this is not financial

24
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,680
advice yeah me neither I know nothing look at the five-year chart for gold brother it's

25
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,120
a blip listen I may be well regarded but that doesn't mean that I am knowledgeable in fact

26
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:53,400
it means the opposite buy low sell high infinite money glitch thanks no key yeah like a day

27
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,920
return your day return is bad but your your year to date your year to date and it's still

28
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:08,920
January is great your year to date is 10.4% the S&P 500 is 0.62 like you're still fine

29
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:14,000
unless you're like literally swapping stocks on the daily you're you're frickin chilling

30
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,080
your three-year return is 211% like your one-year return is 142% that's if you're clairvoyant

31
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:31,080
and you bought a year ago though so fair yeah but three year 211% yeah five year clairvoyant

32
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,720
and you bought three years ago 206% is still pretty good assuming you're clairvoyant and

33
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:50,400
you bought five years ago yeah Genesis says IRC gold being worth a lot means there's like

34
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,640
lower declining confidence in other currencies yeah basically it's a bet on fine it's a bet

35
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:02,520
on financial chaos essentially world is crazy right now gold's going up what yeah I mean

36
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:09,440
not financial advice no but personally and this is not financial advice seeing what's

37
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:15,680
going on with the proposed bricks currency being at least partially gold backed and seeing

38
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,200
how the general chaos doesn't look like it's not financial advice gonna subside anytime

39
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:31,120
over the next say let's pick an arbitrary timeline three years I'm tempted to buy the

40
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:49,040
dip who knows not financial advice you should buy Ubisoft if I was a degenerate gambler

41
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,000
I was actually I was talking to Elijah about this like two days ago like it's like $4 right

42
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:06,720
now or something 471 yeah that says 437 but sure no it's well hold on previous closed

43
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:17,480
471 yeah like it would take some pretty degenerate gambling but like it's amazing yeah and to

44
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,840
be clear you know how I often will talk about what I think might happen and it isn't financial

45
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:30,320
advice the Ubisoft one this is really no there's no there is no coded like yeah I've

46
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240
been looking at AMD and Intel's roadmaps and I can really see that AMD is going to be taking

47
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,680
a lot of market share over the next three to five years there is none of that here I want

48
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,000
to be so explicit that this is the finance this is financial advice I am not advising

49
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:56,200
you to buy Ubisoft that's all don't however if I was a degenerate gambler I would be tempted

50
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,920
because it's like what's the worst case scenario you lose all your money what drove Shopify

51
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,840
down so much I don't know I think generally stocks have been taking a bit of a beating

52
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,160
like very recently like it was a it was a pretty red Monday if I recall correctly in

53
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,600
the last month they're down 20% but in the last six months they're up 6.7% that is a

54
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,240
surprisingly volatile stock dude it's all gambling everything is yeah it's all gambling

55
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,200
so it's so everything's crazy oh we have to record a thing Dan should we do that now

56
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:37,160
okay hi Luke can you do this with minimal sarcasm you can do a high sarcasm version

57
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:43,640
for Dan to me man Sean and send to him but can we do like a proper read to please I just

58
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:53,000
said one word I know but we all knew where you were going with it all right can you use

59
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,240
the word degenerate less please it's not mean connotations what degenerate what the hell

60
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:06,360
does that mean is that word canceled down decline as it has a clear mentally I mean I can see

61
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:14,360
what you mean sounds fine biology racist what how no okay that would be the first I'd be

62
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,640
hearing of that and then again I'd never heard of the hard are so who knows having reverted

63
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,440
to a simpler form as a result of result of losing a complex or adaptive structure present

64
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,680
in the ancestral form I mean in the context of degenerate gambler though I think we all

65
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160
know what it means and it doesn't mean any of those things

66
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,240
literally the audience calls me that from my computer so I say when you stop calling me that

67
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:54,080
I'll stop using it says Elijah okay come on Jen's from upcountry so I say when you stop calling me

68
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,080
that I'll stop yeah because they call him degenerate so you can control Elijah's speech it means

69
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,200
dysfunction but yeah that's exactly what I'm saying it's racist and that some people thought

70
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,120
some skin tones are less evolved than others I mean holy crap there's gonna be someone stupid

71
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,440
enough to think anything I don't know guys I really haven't seen I really haven't seen a whole bunch

72
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,360
that gambler is pejorative enough by itself no but they don't think so that that's the whole

73
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,960
thing and they're like look Luke and I have seen the one unicorn person with a healthy relationship

74
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,280
with gambling the one we both are talking about the same person right now so for that reason I feel

75
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,440
the need to specify because I do literally know a gambler who is not what I who I would consider

76
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,640
to be like a degenerate gambler he's just actually totally fine and has never been a problem for them

77
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,080
yeah I don't know guys this really feels like a bit of a reach hi okay are we doing it

78
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,920

what is up everybody and a welcome to the WAN Show happy Friday we've had an interesting day

120
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,000
I was just having a long conversation with some of our leadership about

121
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:31,600
overstock on some items on LTT Store and cash flow and money being tied up and then today we had

122
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:38,720
the opposite problem we launched our true spec cables which by the way I've got to give credit to

123
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:46,160
I think it was Dave on the branding side you say the name right it's so good it's we man we had so

124
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:53,120
many different ideas for the branding they're either like this is widget number a or true spec

125
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:00,160
or they nail it yeah incredible spec is so good true spec cables are here and the uh we we sold

126
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:06,960
out of some lengths in like 20 minutes opposite problem good problem to have just freaking out

127
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,560
a little bit as a you know small to medium business owner that just you know can't ever seem to get

128
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:20,320
it perfectly right but but hey it's definitely better than the opposite problem uh what else

129
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:32,400
we got going on today okay I found one that's good news the iphone 5s from 2013

130
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:41,200
just got a security update I just want to take a moment to highlight that because that is so cool

131
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,360
what else we got going on reddit found a card skimmer on the canada computers checkout page

132
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,880
which might explain what's been happening to us for a few years now um also good news Luke I want

133
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:59,520
good news when so today um okay not that one not that one not that one that one's kind of neutral

134
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,000
not that one definitely not that one I already can't Dan get rid of them not that one get rid of

135
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:15,680
serability too can okay because I can't anymore I'm ready for this that one's debatable well it

136
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,400
won't be for you but you know what someone's gonna be happy about this youtube's anti ad block system

137
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,320
just got smarter and hard wait no no that is good for you and not other people but I'll find another

138
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,000
one I highlighted one for you I'm making it easier where is it wait scrolling up there's no way

139
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,920
oh yeah sure uh no no it's final count well that part I don't need to say final count for stop

140
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,600
killing games petition verifies 1.3 million of its 1.4 million signatures well above the minimum

141
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,400
to be formally considered by EU politicians okay so stop killing games has got some momentum

142
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:56,400
that's super cool

143
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:15,120
the show is brought to you today by zero bounce updf motion gray and x-blit alongside our

144
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:22,080
rap partner dbrand our laptop partner razor and our chair partner also razor sharp sharp

145
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,200
sponsorships but not a sharp chair and sure you're checking the laptop they've had razor

146
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,640
laptops in the past have had surprisingly sharp edges okay and I think they rounded these they

147
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:38,160
learned about bevels they have figured that out all right why don't we jump right into our headline

148
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:44,400
topic which is okay fine it's a cw call out but we're gonna we're gonna do it anyway the long

149
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:53,680
awaited more like ad show LTT true spec cables are finally freaking here after oh god were they

150
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,640
were we actually on this for five years I think it spanned five calendar years but I think it was

151
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:05,680
more like four our cables have arrived in just five hours they have almost completely sold out

152
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:12,720
however we did anticipate that maybe this would happen we kind of hedged okay so we weren't sure

153
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,280
right because on the one hand we knew that they were going to be at the pricier end of the market

154
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:24,000
yep but in my humble opinion extremely fairly priced for the quality with how much they are

155
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,080
stressed how expensive they were going to be I thought they were going to be I'm not saying

156
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,720
they're cheap but I thought they were going to be more expensive yeah I mean I just I don't I don't

157
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,880
know man I just really push the like they're going to cost a lot and I was like braced for it

158
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,720
maybe I was this was the first time I saw the prices when it was online maybe I was so fixated

159
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:47,280
on how much they were costing me okay because they're really they're expensive like compared to

160
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:55,120
what I would normally expect my inbound cost to be on like you know a three-foot cable or a six-foot

161
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:01,440
cable or whatever the cost is very high remember we sampled from in the video we said we sampled from

162
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,360
dozens do you want to different oems you haven't seen this I don't think do you want to see where

163
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:12,080
some of that cost went we have luma field scans of the cables oh let's get to that let's get to

164
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:18,480
that soon let's get to that soon but first yeah so so I would so yeah they're they're very expensive

165
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:25,920
because the cable stock is really expensive and and it's you know they're good right but no I don't

166
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:33,280
think they're unreasonably priced at all for what they are and so I wasn't sure because we

167
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,400
like we can guess but we we have no analog for this market category not at all you've also never

168
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,080
sold anything from this market category not at all and so we kind of went okay well we don't want to

169
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:53,200
go crazy and just buy five million dollars worth of cables or whatever because then like we we don't

170
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,360
have we don't have venture capital in our company we can't just spend someone else's money to have

171
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,200
a bunch of stock and then spend someone else's money to market the bejesus out of it and then

172
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,800
and make sure we move through it we just are spending our own capital right as a company

173
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:17,120
so we so we were sort of conservative on the initial load in the other thing we didn't know was what

174
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,480
the mix would look like because we tried to do something a little bit different and offer

175
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:28,240
what I call sort of tweener skews and that's a term I don't know if that's an industry term

176
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,680
but it's certainly a term that I've heard before in the IT industry in between yeah so I remember

177
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:41,200
learning about this this concept back when I was working at NCIX and I was talking to one of our

178
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:48,400
senior product managers about hard drive sales I was like this is so weird to me the enthusiast

179
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,640
who goes in the bulk aisle and then goes in compares to the packaged one right to find out

180
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,760
which one I'm paying more or less for per hundred grams like should I buy lindore chocolates in the

181
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,840
bulk bin or should I buy them in the package because often the package is actually cheaper

182
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,320
but not always but in the bulk bin you can pick exactly which flavors you get so these are the

183
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:14,560
kinds of considerations that I might make when I go to the grocery store so it was really confusing

184
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:21,600
to me that we had a really great price on 640 Gigabyte hard drives because they weren't selling

185
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:28,080
and I was like this is so weird and actually now that I'm looking at it the 750 gigs are priced

186
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,240
really well too and those aren't selling either everyone just looks for one terabyte but the 500

187
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:38,720
gig and the one terabyte so I need a cheap one are moving like billio yeah and and so my boss

188
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:44,240
was explaining to me he kind of goes yeah no it's it's um the problem with these ones is that they're

189
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:52,480
tweener skews we don't make the rules people just like whatever they perceive to be nice round numbers

190
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,160
sure and they will gravitate towards those even though you know this one might have an advantage

191
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:05,360
of being a single platter design or all all these techie deckie you know details that a big nerd

192
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:10,560
like you might care about the average customer doesn't care about or notice at all they just

193
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:22,800
want to see nice big round number and I'm like okay um and so I had this kind of idea for the

194
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,080
true spec cables which is sorry which is funny because sorting out all the junk in my house I

195
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:35,520
found my old hard drive like bin and a bunch of 640s I didn't really think about that until now

196
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,760
but yeah like our water bottles and like our desk pads I wanted the idea to be a fair price

197
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:48,480
regardless of the size and you shouldn't need to buy a six foot cable if all you needed was four feet

198
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:54,720
in order to to reach wherever was you were trying to go so I had this idea that we would we would

199
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:02,720
offer in between sizes as a way to differentiate um and and as a way to sort of reinforce our our

200
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,120
ecosystem of cable management products so our magnetic cable management solutions

201
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
but I had no idea what the mix would look like

202
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:21,120
was the entire industry right that everyone wants a one meter or three foot or a two meter

203
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:27,600
or approximately six foot cable or was there a market for a five foot cable or a four foot cable

204
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:35,600
I didn't know and it turns out everything in the middle no in between or doesn't matter go for it

205
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:41,840
or don't go for it just everything in the middle when you look at the drop-down thing just the

206
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:48,640
the really short ones are still there the really long ones are still there and everything like 10

207
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:55,920
feet to basically one and a half feet everything just below 10 feet and everything just above

208
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:02,160
one foot is just gone yeah so that's which by the way if you're watching this and you checked

209
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,040
them earlier and it said unavailable and you had the same confusion Iowa had for like a split second

210
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:12,080
which was like why did we not order any of the ones in the middle uh no we did it just sold out

211
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,800
unavailable means it's coming soon so they added restocks in wording just right before the show

212
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:23,360
yeah um so so so yeah we wanted to get an idea of the mix so what we did was we brought in a guess

213
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:32,240
and then what we also did was we ordered more raw cable stock that is sitting staged ready for

214
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:39,760
production smart so what that means is that our first restock instead of coming in may or June

215
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,920
is going to be hitting in March because we have pre-produced raw cable stock and terminations

216
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,960
sweet and we just need to do a little bit of number crunchy go crunch and figure out exactly

217
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,800
what lengths we're going to cut them into get them produced and get them shipped over here so

218
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,440
we're going to get on it as fast as we can that's a good idea nobody is less happy about us being

219
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,560
out of stock than I am I promise you that um but hopefully now that you guys can kind of

220
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,080
see what the process looked like for that you can kind of understand why we did it I saw the most

221
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:23,600
ridiculous post on reddit yeah uh typical they bring in just a little bit to hype the demand

222
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:31,840
and make it seem oh my god do you really think that I didn't want to sell more cables today well

223
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:38,480
some companies do do that sure for like actually not a hype beast limited edition like we're gonna

224
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,240
make three of them supreme brick or something yeah fine whatever but these are their cables I want

225
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600
to sell as many cables as humanly possible we would love to sell cables

226
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:54,400
come on man I want to do a super nerd version of the cables video any thoughts peeps float plate

227
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:05,440
oh this is tinen um I actually I saw that and I actually flagged it for writers so we're gonna

228
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:13,040
talk about it um I think I don't even know if it would go on a cw channel um if we get around to

229
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:20,160
a lab channel in the near future or maybe or maybe even a full LTT release on the restock

230
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,080
is is the way that I'm leaning right now because I think that a lot of people really want a deep

231
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:32,000
dive on the cables I would so I'd be potentially down tinen I'm not committing to this right now

232
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,160
but I would potentially be down for us to look into a rental of one of the really high speed

233
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:44,960
scopes because one of the challenges for us in doing the 40 gigabit cables was visit someone

234
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,960
possibly but even then like that will take some time but what would be what would be really uh

235
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,360
what would be really cool is one of the challenges for us to do 40 gigabit cables was that we can't

236
00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:04,000
validate them internally it's really freaking fast 40 billion per second this is like incredibly

237
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:11,280
short timelines here and so for you to actually measure the eye so the the the gap in the rising

238
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:18,640
and falling um we don't have equipment that can do it like our cable tester I tinen if you could

239
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,440
give me give me a hand on this but I think our cable tester was able to do up to 10 gigabit

240
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:29,040
and I think we had to go external for 20 and 40 you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong on that

241
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,400
it might have been that we could also do 20 but I know for sure up to 20 thanks tinen so I know for

242
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,280
sure we couldn't do 40 internally so we had to we had to go outside for that validation

243
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:46,240
so I think it'd be really cool for us to get our hands on the equipment and show like guys this is

244
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:53,440
the timescale we're operating on and this is what our eyes look like and really really deep dive

245
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:01,920
um I don't know man it's uh it could be could be a good opportunity for us to talk about the cables

246
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:09,360
again get super get super geeky super nerdy um hey speaking of super geeky stuff do you want to

247
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:13,520
pull up the luma field I have a few things to show in regards to super geeky stuff hold on I should

248
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,480
probably just start a couple more things okay they come in usb a to c and USB-C to c for now

249
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,000
lots of speed and length options for a clean setup makes a great pairing with our magnetic

250
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,120
cable management solutions for the ultimate desk setup they also come with our trust me bro warranty

251
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:34,320
so this is a limited lifetime warranty and is meant to show you guys I mean we stand behind

252
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,920
our products regardless but this is meant to formalize how much we believe in this product

253
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:46,480
obviously like any limited lifetime warranty you know there's terms and conditions with respect to

254
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,680
okay obvious abuse and wear and tear and you know that kind of stuff um but go ahead read through

255
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:57,360
the full thing um we're extremely proud of this product and we uh and we stand behind it though

256
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:04,240
so if you want you can flip through the google drive link there to see all the photos and then I

257
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,400
can load up the actual luma field link if you want to like view it in some other way and then I

258
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:16,240
love that because the the on laptop luma field viewer can struggle sometimes

259
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:24,080
all right what are we looking at here oh my god oh my oh my girl she's so sexy the twist when you

260
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,840
get to see the twist from the back from the back it's pretty when you see it from the back it's

261
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:37,840
pretty cool you can see all the little wires yeah dude it's uh it's thanks lucas for doing this by

262
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,720
drives me crazy how much we take stuff like this for granted we look at a cable and we're just like

263
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:52,400
cable whatever but like look at it it's beautiful isn't it yeah wait till you see some of the other

264
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,680
ones man there there's a bunch of photos uh I mean you can just click the arrow you don't have to

265
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:05,360
oh oops there you go oh my god that's a fun shot or my girl and you got to think like that's that's

266
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:14,080
blown up pretty big that's really small yeah that's so like it's there's a lot of there's a lot of

267
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:23,200
engineering that goes into just a quote unquote simple cable termination so you can see here's the

268
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:31,600
the shielded uh coax high speed lines right here uh hey tynan what are these ones are these uh are

269
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:39,520
these ground or low speed data tynan would know it'll take a sec but yeah yeah um

270
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,480
probably cc lines thanks tynan

271
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,480
she's gorgeous that one on the ride's fun yeah

272
00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,960
and yeah to do something there to do something properly guys nothing is so sick there's also

273
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,480
some differences here nothing simple people that are watching um there's some differences here in

274
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,280
like the the lengths and capability of the cables there's also a versus c and stuff like that

275
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:18,640
so I believe this is one of the like higher spec ones uh Lucas was explaining to me

276
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,680
hopefully I didn't but um tynan's addressing a question that a lot of people have had with respect

277
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,680
to Thunderbolt so okay couple things DisplayPort alt mode should work perfectly fine with the 20

278
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:39,520
gigabit and 40 gigabit rated cables um as for Thunderbolt we are not certified in any way for

279
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Thunderbolt but what I will say is that I plugged my laptop's Thunderbolt port oops let's get that

280
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:54,160
out of here not sponsored by that in fact I've been having some issues with that um so I plugged

281
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,200
into a Thunderbolt port on my laptop and I plugged into the back of that big del 6k Thunderbolt

282
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,080
display that's in my office and our cable worked I've been running a Thunderbolt this way off my

283
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,880
laptop for the last six months off of one of these yeah so it depends um when Intel opened up

284
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,080
Thunderbolt to third parties when they basically kind of gifted I believe it was Thunderbolt three

285
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:23,600
was when they did it when they gifted it to usb if um all of a sudden magically regular usb cables

286
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,800
as long as they were rated for a high enough speed started working so just because you're not

287
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Thunderbolt certified that doesn't mean that it won't work we're not promising that it will with

288
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:40,160
a Thunderbolt device anymore because Thunderbolt three and usb four if I recall correctly are kind of

289
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:47,920
like they're not the same because Thunderbolt is Intel's certification level where it supports

290
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:54,240
some optional features um but they're like kind of equivalent-ish in terms of of bandwidth and

291
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:01,120
many cables that do support usb four should support or should work between Thunderbolt devices what it

292
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:10,240
won't do is it won't do the maximum Thunderbolt five bandwidth for sure that we know um not that

293
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,040
we know like that we know of like that we know for certain that's all neat you got to keep going

294
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:20,160
through those slides um sorry sorry tight tight and said that that is either the 20 gig or 40 gig

295
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,400
which makes sense which one the one we're looking at oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's not a usb

296
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,240
two cable yeah this has too much girth and too much sex appeal to be a usb two that's the shielding

297
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:37,760
god it's beautiful cable section and shielding and then this is fun this is a longitudinal scrub

298
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:46,080
oh yeah so you can like see the twist going through it oh wow that's pretty cool it reminds me of a

299
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:51,840
loading screen yeah for like you know playstation or something that's super cool I mean there's

300
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:59,600
more but we have kind of seen most of it yeah um yeah the other one is that there is an article

301
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:09,280
now on LTT Labs on true spec cable voltage drop testing yet again from sir lucas you can scroll

302
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:17,520
down and see that they did test results on a few different brands of cables and they did it you've

303
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:23,440
got your output voltage on the left current on the right and then your your drop over distances it's

304
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:30,800
fun it's very cool check it out uh capes said Thunderbolt devices do fall back to dp alt modes so

305
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,440
Thunderbolt monitors will work um i did not know that because i had not really looked into it since

306
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,480
the like og Thunderbolt monitors like apple's early Thunderbolt displays and i think there was like an

307
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,320
lg 5k back in the day that was like Thunderbolt only and those ones really were Thunderbolt only so

308
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:54,880
my bad if that's the case then make of it what you will these are usb cables they're not Thunderbolt

309
00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:01,680
certified um another thing about this is that we have a new style for our articles we have table

310
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,680
contents on the right and a little loading bar is you're reading through them and people kept asking

311
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:12,480
us where the like rss feeds and stuff were so we called it out here so you could see it cool and

312
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,200
then if you didn't see it there it's at the top of the latest articles thing here and then if you

313
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:27,200
didn't see it there it's down here uh so i think you'll find it i think you'll be fine now anyway in

314
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:32,480
a nutshell i'm really happy with how the product turned out and i'm really happy that we at least

315
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:39,840
have some additional cable stock staged and we will uh we'll let you guys know as soon as as soon

316
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:49,360
it's back in stock um but in the meantime what you can do is you can sign up to get a notification

317
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,520
so if you find a length that you want you can click this button enter your email address

318
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,480
help inform how people are interested and yes that'll help us help inform us in terms of how

319
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,920
many we order of each size so definitely a good idea to pop in there and get a get a notify me

320
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:13,280
all right uh what do you what what what do we want to do next um should we play the thing

321
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:20,000
play the thing i i don't think we need to talk about the cables anymore there's okay next topic

322
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,480
what is this thing i don't know what is this one thing what do you this is a tech topic

323
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:32,320
what are you talking about willis uh this i don't okay is it a tech topic i can't see what you're

324
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:38,160
pointing at highlighting on the dock it's all this oh it's tech ish internet yeah sure uh a

325
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:45,520
one percenter is not what it used to mean a now remove post from me irl was outlining on r slash

326
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:53,200
me irl it's a subreddit i know oh well the way you said it sounded super weird okay all right um

327
00:36:53,360 --> 00:37:02,320
um sure uh was outlining an adult creators income for being in the top 30 the top 37

328
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:09,200
percent of creators on the platform uh it's an adult creator platform you can put it together

329
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:16,160
um yeah keep your pc really cool yeah yeah if you only use fans for that yeah not like yes other

330
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:22,560
cooling methods um they they uh they stated that they brought home less than a hundred dollars a month

331
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,400
several commenters followed up on the post outlining some examples of other industries

332
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,440
that have similar effects for steam over 50 never made more than a thousand dollars

333
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,680
and only the top five percent make more than two hundred thousand dollars so i just thought i just

334
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,440
thought this was really interesting because we think of like when you think of a top one percent

335
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:47,600
if you thought top one percent anything whether it's only fans whether it's steam spotify twitch

336
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:54,800
youtube you might think oh you're like you're you're ballin or whatever it's also really crazy

337
00:37:54,800 --> 00:38:03,120
even going from um in in like any performance field basically and what i mean by that is not like

338
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:10,240
singing dancing or this thing um what i mean by that is like anything that is effectively competitive

339
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,600
if you go in in almost all of those fields if you go from the top one percent

340
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:22,320
to the top like point one the variance between those is like similar to like i don't know the top

341
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:29,760
one percent to the top 50 like it's it's crazy the last little bit is nuts yeah it's like the extremes

342
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:36,000
at the edge of the bell curve are there's that guy i don't remember his name but he was in the nba

343
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,520
he was benched almost constantly but he was in the nba and he made this comment of like

344
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:50,240
uh yeah but i'm here and like the gap between me and you is enormous the gap between them and me

345
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:54,560
is a lot closer than the gap between me and you and you like think you can make it and then i i'm

346
00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:05,120
going to get some of this story wrong but like a bunch of people challenged them and he went out and played basketball against them and just wiped all of them well yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah brian uh

347
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:10,160
scalabrine yeah yeah yeah that guy so if you want a more accurate i'm closer to brawn than you are

348
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,280
to me yeah that was his quote yeah it's like so uh another one and and to be clear none of this is

349
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,080
like verified it just it was really interesting to me to hear these anecdotal stories but we

350
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,280
have lots of examples of this from youtube from twitch from all these different places so for

351
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:30,160
spotify someone piped up saying that their band which is in the top 20 never made more than $500

352
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,760
in a year and that's not just on spotify that's across all services yeah so you can be one of the

353
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:43,360
top one out of you can be more popular in terms of streaming than four out of every five bands on

354
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:50,960
spotify and we're talking like like 40 bucks a month and this is exaggerated by platforms like a

355
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:57,440
couple meals that you can create an account for in sure roughly a minute but even if you look at

356
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:04,400
more older school traditional businesses like the competitive nature of restaurants yeah for example

357
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:09,600
meanwhile on twitch meanwhile on twitch uh elijah put this together for the topic

358
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:17,440
someone with about 20 viewers which you would look at and go bro give up yeah you know if you were a

359
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,880
negative nelly yeah big mean guy yeah someone with that with that 20 viewers would be in the top

360
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:33,360
one percent on the platform to hit 0.25 you would have just 120 viewers and like i can tell you as

361
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:42,000
someone who has seen twitch checks before that you ain't like working full time with 120 viewers

362
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,240
unless you are able to also leverage off-platform revenue sources i suspect there are some people

363
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:53,760
that do but this is we're getting into like it's it's on average probably not it's gonna be tough

364
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,960
that's gonna be tough and then with an average viewership of 1500 that would put you in the top

365
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:05,760
0.01 percent this this exactly lines up with my comment top one percent is 20

366
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:12,800
top 0.1 percent is 1500 like the the range you start getting is insane in those like little

367
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:20,160
percentages yep so anyway this this this reddit thread sparked a lot of discussion about how

368
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:26,240
concentrated earnings are and spending among top creators across all these industries

369
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:30,160
and even had people comparing this to real-world wealth distributions

370
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:39,920
such as salaries so this was this was a pretty cool little table here okay so the 1% right you

371
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,720
think of a lot of people would think of the 1% as like the problem with society right like we had

372
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:51,840
the 1% occupy movement and all that so the 1% on only fans is getting like shy of a quarter

373
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:59,040
million dollars a year and that's your top that's your top one out of a hundred so there are 99

374
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,600
people showing their butthole that are getting less than that specifically that out of every

375
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:11,280
hundred out of every hundred uh and then real world right so you're basically 1% you're like

376
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:17,360
a successful dentist if that kind of makes sense and i don't know about you guys but i never really

377
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,720
a successful dentist is 600k a year in the states yeah depends what you're doing

378
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,360
not if all you do is like cleanings all day but if you're doing if you're doing anything

379
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,040
beyond that yeah yeah absolutely um if you're running your own practice in particular and

380
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,120
like i don't know about you guys but personally i never really felt like my dentist was the problem

381
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:46,640
growing up with society um definitely like i'd like a good surgeon would be able to bring that in

382
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:57,360
so that's not in italy this is fair enough yeah we're talking we're talking usd here um

383
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:04,960
and then what's what's really wild is the fall off you can be in the top two to three percent

384
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:12,480
and now you're still making like a like a good income here you're still making a good income here

385
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:19,920
but look at the fall off 90th percentile dentist in the u.s is 263k um is that okay but private

386
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:26,240
practice owners report oh i already uh private practice owners report over 600 so yeah if you

387
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:35,360
own your own practice and it's going well okay sure um by the time you get out of the top 10 percent

388
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:43,840
this is wild you're literally making one 360th am i doing the math here right

389
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:50,080
one 360th oh wow yeah in the in the top 12 of the top 0.1 percent

390
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:59,840
that is flipping crazy that it is again a lot of these platforms where you can create an account

391
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:06,960
in a minute yeah um are kind of like this the barrier of entry is effectively zero zero plus

392
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,640
anyway we're not doing a deep dive into this topic deep

393
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:31,040
but it was just something that it was something that i just thought was pretty interesting um

394
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:39,520
because i and like obviously what now that really is a low barrier of entry

395
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:49,120
i mean there are chastity belts i'm just saying it is it is low yeah yeah that makes sense

396
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:58,160
oh man full plane chat you're doing good okay sorry um i just i just thought i thought it was

397
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:04,480
pretty interesting because i think that um that this sort of perception that uh just sort of let

398
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,840
anyone who's kind of getting views on instagram or you know through their reels or you know anyone

399
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:17,600
who's getting views on youtube or twitch or other websites um it's quite an accomplishment like raking

400
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:25,200
it in or whatever um and that's not necessarily the case at all unless they are people really are

401
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:32,640
yeah but like you know clearly you know i i have been i've worked hard my team is amazing and

402
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:41,920
i've been very successful on social media but it's not a it's not a given at all um and so i

403
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,240
don't i don't know man i just i thought it was interesting that's all so i brought it to the

404
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:53,600
wandshow hopefully it was interesting and the only takeaway wasn't just butt jokes

405
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,280
it's a pretty good takeaway yeah i'm pretty okay with that takeaway

406
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:11,120
okay yeah Windows phone fans rejoice next computing's upcoming next phone dual boots

407
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:17,360
Android and Windows and even db and Linux let's go when when docked okay uh the device runs the

408
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:23,280
full ARM version of Windows with a custom skin made to look and feel like the old Windows phone

409
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,040
ui that is so cool it's kind of xda has a great article on this this is really cool it's built

410
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:38,800
around the qualcomm dragon wing qcm 6490 a modified snapdragon 77 uh sorry 778 g uh when docked you

411
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,560
get a full desktop environment and that's cool but uwp or universal Windows platform is no

412
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,440
longer recommended to developers so Windows apps don't have the response of design required to

413
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:55,360
adapt to small screens that is unfortunate xda content director rich woods said the experience

414
00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:02,880
of launching a Windows app on the phone isn't too pleasant yeah that sounds about right i

415
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:09,760
suspect that's a kind way of saying it yeah i mean i can't say that i super miss uwp because

416
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:15,440
there were definitely some problems um around gaming with it if i recall correctly i honestly

417
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:22,560
have not thought about uwp for quite some time i'm not convinced man this is this is not uwp but

418
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:30,400
but i had to download and install minecraft last night that's yeah that's just with microsoft

419
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:36,560
store our Windows store i know so i went to the minecraft site went to go download it i was like

420
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,800
oh nice i don't have to go through the store because that's the worst experience ever so i can

421
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,960
just download it that's good download it go to the launcher it failed the install because i didn't

422
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,240
read the little part there's there's a hyper text link it's not even a button it's just a hyper text

423
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:58,960
link that's like make sure you're signed into the store i didn't read that i just clicked install

424
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,440
so then i went and signed into the store it was already signed in it just wanted to launch yeah so

425
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,480
okay whatever and then i click install again download goes to the complete end never completes

426
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,920
have to close that then i try to launch it again and this time it i try it all the launcher does is

427
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:18,560
it launches the store then the store launches the launcher again if you want to really what are we

428
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:25,920
doing if you want to really play on hard mode set up a computer for your for your minor dependent

429
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:34,480
and then try to play with them seriously it took me like an hour plus to get all the permission

430
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:41,600
sorted out for me to play multiplayer games with my kids who are in my family unit did you play

431
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,760
minecraft together minecraft dungeons minor

432
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,640
all right you know what i don't know if you can ding for himself i think you know no i dinged you

433
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:58,880
yeah but i i was checking to see if you've made that joke he didn't though he said minor

434
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:04,080
it's a pun he just didn't know he made his own pun you gotta stop saying minor doctor disrespect

435
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,960
gonna show up oh and maybe a few policies the doors are locked we're okay

436
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:16,080
a gaggle of politicians i can hear them driving up now

437
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,200
we're flying i mean at their age

438
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,920
waddling yeah um

439
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:33,440
uh man i had a point don't know what it was quality show i honestly i find microsoft universal

440
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:39,680
sign and stuff is just universally terrible well i it's not universal yeah and oh like how is it

441
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:47,680
that i sigh i they they force me to sign into Windows and then i still have to sign in again

442
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:53,840
to the store again to edge and again into minecraft launcher to remember my login don't ask yes

443
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:01,680
thank you stop it's so annoying i always click yes out of hope

444
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,960
i just know it won't work but i'm like please i know me too every time i sign into teams i say

445
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:17,200
don't ask me again and this application only not device wide because this is my home computer

446
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,920
i just need to message somebody on teams right now and it's and it's frustrating because they have

447
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:29,520
like amazing compatibility with everything and stuff it's just so bad frustrating use multi mc

448
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,160
is that some other like launcher client thing i'm not surprised there is one um that makes a lot

449
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:42,640
of sense to me multi mc what is this alternative launcher yeah okay cool yeah maybe we'll grab

450
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,640
that instead it's like pretty annoying the microsoft one is pretty annoying

451
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:54,720
all right oh there's arguments there's other alternative launchers okay all right i think

452
00:50:54,720 --> 00:51:00,320
i found the the Linux community of minecraft people uh i will figure this out on my own yeah please

453
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:13,120
yes yeah let's let's talk about something pretty trash um i am i am not really that happy with this

454
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:18,560
so yeah this sucks this is uh from best buy and this is in their like product details

455
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:25,520
why does your site say the comparable value is four hundred fifty nine dollars the aser

456
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:33,920
website says the msrp is two ninety nine okay so here's the answer uh i don't know this is no no this

457
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:43,600
is from uh someone uh but basically best buy oh my god has started pulling this horse shit

458
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:51,600
where instead of showing a regular price and just you know a special price or whatever their prices

459
00:51:52,240 --> 00:52:00,240
they've added this compare value so this is a two hundred and ten dollar monitor

460
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:06,240
which honestly yeah doesn't look like a terrible deal for two hundred and ten dollars

461
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:12,080
thirty one and a half inches one hundred eighty hertz tell me the resolution what's the resolution

462
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:21,440
why is that 2560 by 1440 you know what looks great uh not at four hundred and sixty dollars

463
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:30,480
definitely not that so what is it what is a comparable value our comparable value prices

464
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:37,520
are based on the price at which the product or a comparable item was or in the future will be

465
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:43,680
offered for sale by best buy marketplace sellers manufacturers suppliers or other retailers

466
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:48,640
online or in store such prices may have been identified by best buy or provided by marketplace

467
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:53,600
sellers manufacturers or suppliers purchases from best buy offer many advantages over purchases

468
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,080
from others and we invite you to learn more about our pricing the services we provide and our price

469
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,240
match policy that's just obviously ridiculous you know that they have like gold leaf burgers

470
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,960
that cost like a thousand dollars yeah so mcdonald's could just be like well i mean a big mac is

471
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:14,800
comparable to yeah it's available now for uh you know one thousand dollars off yeah um yeah yeah

472
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:20,320
yeah snow pig put it pretty well lul so it's any number you want to quite literally is what that

473
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:29,360
means yes if they've ever seen it they can kind of go yes that one please no not even they said

474
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:35,360
we'll be in the future so yeah so they don't even have to have seen it right so i'm kind of thinking

475
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:43,840
this needs a dedicated LTT video where are we basically go okay look starting at compare at

476
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:50,000
and what was the other one that really made me mad uh hold on hold on there was there was another

477
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:57,680
one that i wanted to add to it um and up to starting at compare at and up to need to go

478
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,720
they've they've got to just be starting out is incredibly annoying yeah because what does it

479
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:10,080
even mean there's almost always some like obvious junk thing in there yeah there are exceptions

480
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:18,800
so the current gen mac mini starting at just buy it love it love love that computer it's like

481
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:25,920
actually an outstanding value for what it is but by and large starting at means here's a

482
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:30,800
craptastic configuration that we created so that we can have this price but the one that you really

483
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:37,120
want costs way more like actually way more and we're making a ton of margin on those upsells

484
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:45,360
and then it's honestly it's the same thing for up to i mean we ran into this um oh i don't think

485
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:50,960
this video is up yet well it's coming soon we finally got our hands on an rtx pro 6000 so that

486
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,080
i don't know kind of inside baseball we tried a new workflow for this video let us know if you

487
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:02,480
like the video um it was prepped by the Labs closer to like a ShortCircuit product sheet

488
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,920
and then instead of just hosting a ShortCircuit off of the product sheet i spent a couple hours

489
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:15,680
turning it into an LTT script and so it's like an LTT but it's like a hybrid between like the Labs

490
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:22,480
sort of product test workflow the ShortCircuit um like host prep workflow and the LTT writing

491
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:29,280
guidance editing workflow like so we're trying some stuff we actually did a very similar thing on our

492
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:38,000
Ryzen 9850x3d video which was also that one was actually written in an hour and a half by me with

493
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:45,440
some really good prep done by the Labs team let's go and i think i want to say i want to say it was

494
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,280
shoot was it pluf or elai who did the guidance whatever one of the one of the writers one of

495
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,720
those two i'm pretty sure i did the guidance for it and i just feel like having people do

496
00:55:54,720 --> 00:56:01,520
smaller bite-sized chunks of the work in this way is actually helping their creative juices

497
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:06,560
flow a little bit better we talked about this in writer's meeting today but um like i thought that

498
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:11,920
i thought that both elijah and pluf who have been the main guys who have been doing guidance on

499
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:17,680
these videos that i've been writing recently really did their best visual guidance work for the

500
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:24,800
editors on those videos that i wrote which is kind of unintuitive because you'd think that as you're

501
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:29,680
writing you would have a better idea in your mind for what you want visually i think i get why it

502
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:35,760
would work actually but what what elijah said was like it's it's more just like fatigue from looking

503
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:41,040
at something for too long and when you're coming into it fresh and alt and offering like a like a

504
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,880
new perspective they're seeing this thing and being like oh i would like to see this here

505
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:49,760
let me go find that thing and suggest it exactly that's cool so yeah it's i don't know it's it's

506
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:57,840
pretty cool but um what was i talking about we did the we did the oh right up to so up to we

507
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:04,880
found was doing some extremely heavy lifting when it came to clock speeds on that rtx pro card and

508
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:12,720
we ran into multiple situations where it actually underperformed compared to an rtx 50 90 even though

509
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:19,600
it has three times the v RAM and costs three times the price um it has 10 more coup de course

510
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:25,920
it theoretically i think either clocks the same or higher basically there was no downside normally

511
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:32,000
these pro cards right they'll have more coup de course but to account for the extra power they'll

512
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:37,760
they'll advertise a lower clock speed in this case it didn't it just had more everything so

513
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:44,240
theoretically it should just be faster across the board but it wasn't and we found that sometimes

514
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:56,400
it wasn't clocking as high because up to up to sure compare at yeah starting at i'm just i'm tired

515
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:03,840
of it man yeah yeah yeah it's probably a good opportunity to discuss dark patterns bayzag

516
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:10,160
says it's like it's like saying the new LTT true spec cables start at a dollar but just having a skew

517
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:15,600
that nobody would want and pricing it at a dollar and then everything else is you know 15 to 30 bucks

518
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:22,320
we do something else that's kind of funny oh what do we do uh well the the 0.032 feet cable

519
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:28,880
is the same price as the 16.4 feet cable well yeah because okay well that's so you could you

520
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:38,560
could say starting at 2999 canadian it also ends at 2999 canadian you could do that you could have

521
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:46,080
a really short cable that was free and then just out of stock all the time oh is that illegal

522
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,200
probably starting at free you could sell one and then i think it would be illegal

523
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,840
you could restock one of them every like quarter not a bad idea

524
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:04,400
there are multiple prices it's complicated oh wait really yeah there are multiple prices for some of

525
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:12,400
them oh wait there is yeah but it's it's not by that much so you reach a certain point where it

526
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:18,240
where it becomes not just about the labor cost and like the actual size and weight of it start

527
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:24,000
to matter and the sheer length of cable stock that you're using do start to matter oh there is yes

528
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:32,240
yes yes yes yes it does vary a little bit not not not as much compared to um other things and it

529
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:40,400
seems to only get cheaper than what i said so i don't feel too bad sorry i'm just noticing

530
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:46,160
something here that i need to sometimes deal with spending a session of noticing is is something i've

531
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:53,200
learned is valuable from wendell sometimes you just need to notice things yeah i'm noticing a thing

532
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:59,920
that i need to follow up okay cool um anyway so yeah not cool best buy and the thing that annoys

533
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,040
other retailers permission to do the same thing and then all of a sudden

534
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:16,000
nobody knows what to compare anything at unless of course as part of that video we may be kind of

535
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:22,400
review various price comparison tools cool and shopping tools nice that way it's more than just

536
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:29,760
because so we need to make vinegar i mean look right like i we did that i don't want to be angry

537
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:36,320
anymore video recently right and i don't and and i do think that there's a lot of upside in in the

538
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:41,600
world of tech right there's a lot to be really happy about there's a lot to be really grateful for

539
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:47,520
but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't call out bad behavior when we see it i just i want us to be

540
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:54,960
really focused on offering up solutions to it if that makes sense at the same time like still

541
01:00:54,960 --> 01:01:02,320
approaching everything that we do with constructiveness at its core if that makes sense because

542
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:08,000
i've seen some people go okay well so what Linus you're you you you don't want to be negative so

543
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:16,320
you're just going to be positive about everything absolutely not but i want to have an intent i want

544
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:23,600
to have a point to the the the negative things that we're we're shining a light on i want to

545
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:29,200
accomplish something through it i heard from a company that has gone through some

546
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,080
some difficult challenges and you know restructuring and rebuilding over the last little while and one

547
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:41,520
of the things that and this was an employee of the company not a member of the leadership team

548
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:48,080
but one of the things that they flagged for me was that you know some of the some of the coverage

549
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:54,400
of the struggles that they had gone through did not in any way help them turn the ship around

550
01:01:54,400 --> 01:02:00,880
and if anything made it much more difficult for people to stay employed and people to get paid

551
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:11,520
and to and to and to please their customers it was just in some ways you know there were good

552
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:16,720
elements of it you know where the kick in the teeth are kicking the teeth kicking the butt was needed

553
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:24,960
some motivation was needed but the the destructive rather than constructive approach was like

554
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:31,600
super unhelpful for anyone involved and i thought that was uh that was a really interesting

555
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:37,200
perspective to get from someone who's gone through something like that obviously you can't name but

556
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:47,440
i'm interested yeah i can just tell you yeah oh yeah yeah that makes a lot of sense yeah apparently

557
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:52,960
they're like doing a lot better now and things are going good and uh they want to like partner on some

558
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:58,720
stuff and we're we're really we're really excited to see them come back because we they've been an

559
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:05,040
innovator for many many years and uh yeah they you know made some mistakes but i don't know much

560
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:09,920
about it i think how you how you recover from your mistakes says a lot more about you than

561
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:15,520
whether or not you ever make them what else we what else we got what else the mistakes are but

562
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:21,840
yeah okay yeah you know what that's an interesting i that that's an interesting conversation i saw

563
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:31,360
that there was a um there was a convicted murderer who was who was um appointed to like uh like a

564
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:40,000
police advisory board of some sort like a like a citizen advisory board and um this caused like a

565
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:46,000
major fracture within the community where uh it wasn't that he he didn't hide anything but they

566
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:54,400
like didn't ask and just you know and went through it and there were people on both sides um some

567
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:59,760
that were basically like look that's a felony offense you like killed someone uh you should

568
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:04,560
have nothing to do with any kind of law enforcement ever ever ever ever ever and then there were other

569
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:10,480
people that were going okay but hold on this guy like seriously reformed and has spent considerable

570
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:15,840
energy trying to make amends and when you're doing advisory stuff uh yeah someone just pointed out

571
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:20,080
like if catch me if you can i mean i don't think you killed people but uh catch me if you can is

572
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:25,600
a good example of like sometimes you need people who are informed from the other side to help you

573
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:32,320
be better at what you're doing yeah i um anyway i i honestly i don't i literally i'm not even

574
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,800
trying to trying to go all centrist on this i don't have a take on it i don't i don't know

575
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:42,000
how i would feel about that uh if i if i was someone that had a connection to the victim

576
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:47,760
i'd feel i can tell you i'd feel super emotional about that and i'd be i'd feel very negative

577
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:56,480
about it if i was removed from it though and you know looking at at at some of the well like you

578
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:05,120
said like practical um benefits potentially of having you know a reformed offender involved

579
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:10,560
i i i don't know it's really hard for me to say

580
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:12,880
um

581
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,920
i think we're getting into topics that we're far from experts on oh yeah i not that that

582
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:26,000
isn't effectively always true but like i don't think that's always true i mean a little bit

583
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:32,800
we've been an expert on something at least once always is such a big word i talked about

584
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:38,640
buttholes earlier in the show maybe that was it i mean i've got one i think that entitles me to

585
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:45,680
an opinion sounds like it to me i think like yeah i don't know it's uh

586
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,880
are people redeemable is maybe not a topic for the WAN Show

587
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,800
i'm just sitting here thinking like should i say anything is that probably not

588
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:07,680
we're gonna move on sure um what was what was that how did we get on that i don't know

589
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:15,280
does it matter sure i really don't know like maybe it does maybe it doesn't i don't know

590
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,520
i do think you making a video about the best by thing could be good yeah i want to be a good time

591
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:27,280
to yet again highlight uh dark patterns yeah stuff like that yeah dark patterns a little bit

592
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,680
multifat i think that could come later on in the video yeah but i think it'd be a little multifaceted

593
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:38,320
um but yeah speaking of things that suck microsoft says it handed over bitlocker encryption keys

594
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:44,800
when the government asked cool microsoft has confirmed that it handed them over uh and the

595
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:51,760
f to the fbi during a criminal investigation last year and says that this isn't unusual yes it is

596
01:06:53,120 --> 01:07:00,000
apparently not but it should be to me that means we've done this a bunch um according to the company

597
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,800
it receives around 20 requests per year and will comply again if the government follows the proper

598
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,200
legal processes if you sign into Windows with a microsoft account bitlocker keys are automatically

599
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:14,320
backed up to microsoft servers tying them to your account and devices from microsoft's perspective

600
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:19,520
turning those over is just another lawful data request but privacy advocates argue that quietly

601
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:26,560
holding encryption keys defeats the point of encryption that thing that thing he said just

602
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:31,760
interesting microsoft notes users can request to delete stored keys and local account work

603
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:38,080
around still work they're trying to make that not a thing to be clear did they actually say that

604
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:42,960
it's become such a hassle though did microsoft actually note that local account work around

605
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:48,320
still work that's crazy uh but most users don't even know this is something they can do

606
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:54,960
is that did they actually say that i i don't i don't see that in the Windows central article

607
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,360
the way this is worded it could mean that they just noted that you could request

608
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:06,080
to delete your stored keys and also they didn't say this but it might be what they meant okay cool

609
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,720
if they said that that's crazy i doubt it i don't think they did

610
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:20,400
more bad news lg subscription program for audio visual devices lg launched a new

611
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:27,280
subscription program called lg flex in the uk whoa uh in the uk for premium devices such as tv

612
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:32,480
soundbars monitors and speakers they have partnered up with ray low which offers subscription services

613
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:37,840
for other brands such as dyson apple and nintendo i've never even heard of this me either is that

614
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:43,600
a uk thing but the devil is ray low lg flex subscribers can opt for a one to three year

615
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:48,400
subscription with longer terms having a lower monthly payment at the end of the term the

616
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:54,320
customer can decide to get a free upgrade with a new subscription that's not free with a new

617
01:08:54,320 --> 01:09:01,200
subscription keep paying monthly or return the device to leave oh to leave the subscription

618
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:05,440
terms i guess ours technically calculated that under a three year plan the subscription would

619
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:14,560
cost more than buying a tv after 27 months okay so here here's a nintendo switch to refurbished

620
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:23,120
oh very good ray low certified refurbished okay very good uh 36 months would cost me 11

621
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:39,040
pounds 99 a month okay calculatrice so 12 times 36 is 432 pounds nintendo switch to refurbished

622
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:48,880
no no i'm gonna compare to brand new okay i because i'm curious smith smith toys is this a uk

623
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:53,680
thing no idea sure i'm happy it has a little banner like you see that little dark pattern

624
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:59,040
there yes i'm happy yeah what was that it was a cookie banner yeah it was a cookie banner yikes

625
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:08,080
wow that's a yikes 385 brand new not refurbished oops what did i do here what were you calculating

626
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:17,920
uh cool yep there's your problem right there there you go 432 so literally i could get the

627
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:25,040
nintendo switch to mario kart world bundle so you get a game so if i plan to have this thing for

628
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:32,720
three years then i should not do this and you could buy a snack you could get the console a game and

629
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:39,520
a snack and own all of those you know you might eat the snack but you could own all of those forever

630
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,600
this one's so weird i know that carrier subsidies for phones are not as much of a thing

631
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:50,960
like overseas but as someone where who grew up with carrier subsidized phones where you

632
01:10:50,960 --> 01:11:00,240
effectively pay for the phone monthly anyway seeing buying like a non-carrier locked for like

633
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:07,280
the price of what a plan used to be yeah yeah it's like what like i used to get i used to get stuff

634
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:13,200
with this along with the phone yeah um wow okay

635
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:22,880
so this would cost me like a couple hundred bucks a year for an s24 ultra that doesn't actually

636
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,400
seem that bad the iphone seemed like at the end though yeah i might not own it at the end you

637
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:34,240
have to give it back yeah there's no there's no not giving it well okay hold on this is another one

638
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:43,360
we actually shot a video on this week i don't know if you know this but um oh yeah yeah i remember

639
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:48,000
now yeah you could you you you only get to keep it if you just keep paying monthly i don't think

640
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:54,480
they have like a pay the rest and buy out so we actually did a video on this this week hp

641
01:11:55,040 --> 01:12:06,960
has a rent your rental laptop service now yep so hold on wait one of the hold on relax one of the

642
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:16,560
skews um comes with a sim card and your rental includes your data plan for it it includes uh

643
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:25,920
next day onsite service and you can just apply for an upgrade so when we were looking at it we

644
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,480
compared it a a couple of different ways we compared it to buying the device outright

645
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:37,440
and like where's your like where's your break even point there right and then we also compared it to

646
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:45,280
reselling where's your break even point if you resell your old device and then the last one that

647
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:53,200
we looked at was okay um but what if you are like a frequent what if what if you're a frequent

648
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:58,640
upgrade and you would be like buying a new device and then we looked at it both in terms of if you

649
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,560
right right right if we've looked at it in terms of if you resold and in terms of like if you didn't

650
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:12,000
if you repurposed um there are skews that we've looked at and we went okay this might not be

651
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:18,800
absolutely crazy depending on who you are and what exactly it is that you're trying to accomplish

652
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:24,320
if you're someone who is not tech savvy does not want to deal with buy sell trade and just

653
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:30,560
wants a working laptop all the time there's like one skew that is like a pretty decent laptop

654
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:38,480
and comes with the data plan and like could potentially make sense and it seems like um

655
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:46,400
hp kind of figured out that the value was too good for some of them and the other program for

656
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:51,760
gaming laptops that they launched later it was pretty hard for us to find anything that made

657
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:59,200
any sense have i been a good boy can i respond now okay do everyone there you go that's honestly

658
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:07,840
pretty much all i have to say yeah as long as you can count on them to keep the price the same

659
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:20,480
then it's great except well yeah this exhibit a um however however we actually found that the best

660
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:32,400
deal was to rent it for a year return it and then buy the same one after it had depreciated for a

661
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:39,520
year which is interesting that's kind of funny just i so that is kind of funny however however

662
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:46,240
however however we found that the pricing for this particular model on the buy it outright

663
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:53,440
so your compare at uh was felt really high compared to what we could find this particular

664
01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:59,840
laptop for in the used market today so basically what i'm trying to say is your point isn't invalid

665
01:15:00,480 --> 01:15:05,840
and this whole you'll own nothing and you'll like it thing is toxic but that doesn't mean

666
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:11,360
that there might not be deals out there and we should be open to something that's a better deal

667
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:16,560
and then immediately closed once it isn't a better deal if if there isn't a reasonable

668
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,160
alternative and i don't feel like they're going out of their way to make it so that there isn't

669
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:26,320
a reasonable alternative and it takes constant upkeep a subscription is fine to me yeah but

670
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:31,600
in a lot of cases that's not it's like the the heated seats subscription like no you can just

671
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:35,440
leave that could just be a button you don't need to constant upkeep that that is unnecessary that

672
01:15:35,440 --> 01:15:41,600
should not be a subscription go away and it depends on and it depends on how you use it too like if

673
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:47,680
i used game pass to play a whole bunch of single player games over the span of a year and then i

674
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:52,960
canceled my game pass subscription it could be a freaking great value if you're playing an entire

675
01:15:52,960 --> 01:16:00,480
single player game a month yeah it's probably still not that bad no yeah however paying playing

676
01:16:00,480 --> 01:16:07,440
new ones i don't know if microsoft is publishing new full fat triple a titles once a month well yeah

677
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:12,160
but you might have a backlog it like true you check out what's on games are not going to be that high

678
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:19,360
value sure when it's at 30 usd a month however however if you're the kind of person who know

679
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:26,880
life's one game for six months at a time it's crazy to be paying for game pass right so it's

680
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:34,960
look i'm just saying you know horses for courses sometimes something can be a really great value

681
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,600
and then the next month it can't be and we just have to have the discipline to cut off that

682
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:44,960
subscription when it's not a good value anymore but that's how they get you right that's the lock

683
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:50,720
in that they want they want the laziness lock in if that makes sense yeah i'd never heard of this

684
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:58,880
relo thing before but uh oh man this is always funny to me 4.5 stars on trust pilot it's not clickable

685
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:07,520
okay is it though relo trust pilot it's trust pilot one of those ones that it's basically

686
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:15,600
just like you bribe them to have a good score i don't know okay okay they do have 4.5 stars on

687
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:25,920
trust but how do they have 21 000 reviews and they're all five star do we believe do we believe this

688
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:32,480
though i mean i don't it came next day promptly it was in pristine condition wrapped up perfectly

689
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:36,800
feel happy with the phone it's a perfect gift to my kid bro who's been down these days hope it

690
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:44,400
will lift his spirits there is no way that this is real is there some reward for leaving trust

691
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,120
pilot reviews this reviewer was automatically invited to write a review following their experience

692
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:54,400
with the company this type of review is automatically labeled verified automatically

693
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:04,880
good service is that a link deliver on time this one i actually believe i believe that one i believe

694
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:14,000
this one yep the why would you leave a four star review and this is the only thing you had to say

695
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:23,120
about it um i kind of might believe janine's one as well sorted my problem i had and very grateful

696
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:28,800
for the help and understanding they were problem solved and very nice was the manager i don't know

697
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:34,480
dude that does not sound like an lm output no but it's shocking to me oh check our history yeah

698
01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:40,320
yeah i'm about to it's shocking to me how much spam doesn't seem to use an lm output

699
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:48,720
like the number of bots that are not writing like might be more expensive i guess bother

700
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:55,440
all right it's working anyways all right janine so four days ago on trust pilot

708
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:11,520
make the five stars seem plausible brother there is just no way that this is a real person

709

716
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:20,240
for various first languages most of the people i've encountered whose english second language

717
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:24,800
looks like this do not look like this i can tell you that much

718
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:38,160
origins last what is brsk internet service provider dude these are all spam now it is

719
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:46,720
it is possible that this is human spam that is possible i also think it is highly probable

720
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:58,080
that this is highly highly probable that this is bot spam as well all right anyway so congratulations

721
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:03,520

747
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:51,600
all right should we do merch messages yeah if you are not through wait

748
01:24:52,960 --> 01:25:00,000
Dan you baited me what do you mean you put up the sign it needs to say check out chats

749
01:25:01,440 --> 01:25:06,080
oh did we decide on check out your ads well we're definitely not calling that anymore

750
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:10,080
i ended up in a whole debate with someone on the subreddit over this where basically they were

751
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:14,880
like i fundamentally disagree with Linus's objection to the word merch to describe the

752
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:20,320
products they make because i view merch as something that i buy for a higher price that's just to

753
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:27,760
support the person i like and i was like buddy okay you you just you weren't even done your

754
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:33,840
sentence and you proved my point we don't want anyone's charity and we respect your hard-earned

755
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:42,240
money enough to make products not merch products not merch that are a good value and good quality

756
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:47,600
and that we stand behind so calling them merch just doesn't work for us i i like supporting

757
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:55,040
other creators i've bought a decent amount of random merch stuff um i'm a huge supporter of

758
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:59,120
something that i think we were at the the front of the curve for which is like

759
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:04,480
youtubers getting into like real products um a huge range of youtubers by the way not just

760
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,640
like reviewer people i think that's super cool it's a really cool industry it's really cool

761
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,640
having people stand behind their product and be excited about things and blah blah blah

762
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:20,240
vary into all that a lot of merch is just trash well yeah that's the problem too manufactured

763
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:27,360
waste uh so we're trying to get away from that that's all it is it's tough because it's like

764
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,920
literally the word just means merchandise which is definitely exactly what it is but then

765
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:37,520
words are how people use them realistically and the way people are using merch in this context

766
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:44,080
is describing it as something that is uh at a cost level that does not equal the value return

767
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:48,880
that you're getting um but you're doing so in order to specifically just support someone

768
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:55,600
which is not the goal of the store so it makes sense that they might want to redefine um

769
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:03,520
hopefully that makes sense all right cool so check out chats if you're new to the show the way to

770
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:11,040
send in a message is not via super chats or twitch bits or anything like that instead you

771
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:15,440
can send a check out chat all you got to do to do so i think we need a better name than check

772
01:27:15,440 --> 01:27:20,240
out we're working on okay we're gonna call it that for now all right all you got to do is head

773
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:28,000
over to lttstore.com and you can throw oh tech commerce communicate tech pants tech pants are here

774
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:35,360
oh tech pants okay add to cart all you got to do is add it to your cart and you will see the uh

775
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:40,320
well whatever we're gonna get this updated don't look at it the point is you will see this you can

776
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:47,280
type a message and it will go to producer Dan who will uh put it in the you know one of the little

777
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:56,080
boxes that appears or he will respond to it or he will curate it for me and luke to respond to

778
01:27:56,080 --> 01:28:01,120
oh you do have to actually complete your order listen it's been a very chaotic week i'm doing

779
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:06,880
my best product prompts is pretty okay really peepee merge yeah exactly so if people buy a lot

780
01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:12,880
they send a big peepee yeah do you verify your gamers do you actually verify your gamers do you

781
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,400
make sure that they are verified actual gamers i mean i've been known to do that before yes

782
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:22,480
interesting do i have to do that now i think we should still cook on the name i don't know if

783
01:28:22,480 --> 01:28:28,960
product prompts is merge messages flows nicely we can we can find something and we can just make

784
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:35,680
it cc instead of cock and then it's like you know also credit card give us your give us your cc

785
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:42,000
give us five ccs of love that sucks through the that's terrible through the internet

786
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:49,280
i'm not saying i'm not saying peepee is the way to go but i i think well well i mean we could try

787
01:28:49,280 --> 01:29:00,320
it out i've got a pretty short peepee here from sure deal howdy lld any update on the diy home

788
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:10,640
battery has it made you more conscious on how you spend daily um there is an update coming

789
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:15,680
it has been in the works for quite a while uh pankrat's i'm one of our new writers danie who

790
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:23,040
is now off probation have been working on it uh we have our so we already did part one which you

791
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:27,920
saw which was there were a lot of comments about what could have been better it's great thank you

792
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:35,440
keep them coming uh part two will be the proof of concept for what will be the the final deployment

793
01:29:35,440 --> 01:29:42,080
and then part three will be the scale deployment and i gotta say being conscious of how much i'm

794
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:48,560
spending isn't helping me spend any less right now which is frustrating because i just have a

795
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:54,720
bunch of stuff to do before i can sort of tone down our energy use but it is absolutely something

796
01:29:54,720 --> 01:30:00,240
that i want to do at home because yeah it's it's a lot is what i'll say

797
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:11,360
let's see another one here we're going hey d ll any new updates on the solar at your house

798
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:15,440
what works well and what would you change now having had the solar system for a couple years

799
01:30:15,440 --> 01:30:23,680
okay yeah updates so um the plumbers who plumbed it into the walls of the pool they filled it and

800
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:29,760
didn't tell me or maybe they did tell me and i forgot anyway all the pvc piping cracked in the winter

801
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:34,720
so the plumbing side of it doesn't work at all as for the solar side the good news is they're

802
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:39,840
perfectly functioning solar panels and we got a deal from the manufacturer on them so it doesn't

803
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:44,720
really matter if the plumbing doesn't work because i didn't pay more for them than i would have for

804
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:50,800
regular solar panels i'm still up on the deal i guess apparently maybe probably not the point is

805
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:58,240
in vancouver solar panels were more of a hey so that we can like make content and it's cool

806
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:03,200
um and less of a practical you should definitely spend money on this because we just don't get

807
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:08,480
enough sunny year uh but man there's there's days when it's a sunny day and i'm looking at i'm like

808
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:16,240
dang that is wow that is a lot of power coming out of these and that's pretty neat

809
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:30,400
oh man there's a robot messaging me about like a bunch of bunch of you could call sorry

810
01:31:31,440 --> 01:31:37,280
ginger-nutted great name info plain chat uh gave a really interesting idea you could call them tweets

811
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:44,720
oh my god we can can we see oh i would why not i think so wasn't there somebody going

812
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,880
after the trademark already um

813
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:59,280
okay well uh yeah i don't uh it's not very good okay it's funny cool yeah definitely

814
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:05,920
it's definitely a meme it is a meme um check out tweets now would probably be since we're

815
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,600
since we're talking about um check out messages

816
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:17,520
calm that's kind of neat calm you know i don't know i'd send a message through the

817
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:21,840
comport that's not too bad check out messages is better than check out chats

818
01:32:23,440 --> 01:32:27,120
check out messages is better comport that's that's actually not bad

819
01:32:28,480 --> 01:32:34,800
we're doing comms comms now i check out messages i like comms i like the abbreviation more than

820
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:40,080
the wording but i think that's fine okay i'll see store comms yeah and if someone

821
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,240
sounds like a really strong one it could be like a calm dom

822
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:48,080
they send a lot

823
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,520
we have another thing to maybe talk about do you want to talk about it now this thing we should

824
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,880
probably finish talking about like all the products that we launched this week oh that's

825
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:06,720
that one last that one last for sure so um luke is actually oh oh luke is i'm wearing everything

826
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:12,960
decked out head to toe in um a couple of legitimately really exciting new products for us

827
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:19,440
so he's uh look at my butt he's where everyone look at my butt i mean okay but okay hold on don't

828
01:33:19,440 --> 01:33:25,120
go away yet so what's cool about the tech pants is that yeah cool they're very you went and stood

829
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:29,680
right behind the laptop for crying out loud luke now you got the do not put it there

830
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,080
hey no i do i still need you to stand

831
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:54,400
time stamp that no don't time stamp that no he doesn't want to do that okay move that

832
01:33:54,400 --> 01:34:00,800
where do you okay the point is what's cool about the tech pants is they're very office

833
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:07,520
attire friendly they are but they have extra hidden pockets if you're more of a cargo kind of boy

834
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:11,920
so there's a pocket there you could stash a phone there that pocket actually goes all the way across

835
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:16,960
the front by the way so you can actually put like a ton of stuff in there grill cheese sandwich

836
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:22,400
while following the office dress code so there's like a little hidden zip um there's another hidden

837
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:30,160
zip on the right hip i believe um in the seam so you've got your regular pocket no no up there you

838
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:38,240
go oh there's a hidden zip right there you'll figure it out oh god okay yep there we go so you've

839
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:43,360
got yeah so you can put like something that you want to be a little bit more secure in there

840
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:48,000
uh to be clear it doesn't have like rfid blocking lining or anything like that i'm not talking about

841
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,520
that kind of secure i'm talking like just you don't want anyone to put their hand in your

842
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,680
pocket and notice it uh zipper pockets on the regular pockets as well and then at the back

843
01:34:55,680 --> 01:35:01,600
i believe uh hold on yes so in addition to the two back pockets there's a hidden zipper pocket

844
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:07,680
right where your right finger is i believe there it is or is it just a pocket i think it's just

845
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:15,520
yeah just okay extra pocket so they're kind of like uh they're kind of like a an office friendly

846
01:35:16,480 --> 01:35:23,440
like cargo but not a cargo pant they're like cousin is a cargo pant yes yes they are not

847
01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:29,360
and they don't really give the the visual indication no they're like a white collar cargo pant

848
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:35,920
really really excited about this product it's one of the things that we've been legitimately

849
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:44,400
extremely successful with is office friendly but really tech forward clothing people asked

850
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:51,920
about the fit of the polo it feels longer i believe which i like they are jamie was saying

851
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:57,440
something that it was a bit longer yeah it's a bit of a longer cut probably if i stand up and

852
01:35:57,440 --> 01:36:03,360
measure it on my longness it's slightly longer than normal i would say which kind of makes sense

853
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,600
so i think that can maybe look a little bit professional and is probably nicer for the

854
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:13,520
people that want to tuck it in yep so just like some of our other sort of office attire uh we've

855
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:20,560
added just you know a little splash of fun a little splash of color obviously it's a high quality

856
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:27,920
garment so it's a 10 cell cotton blend um so really soft really smooth feel custom knit

857
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:33,120
coloring cuffs plus a do not drop branded button uh or actually sorry all the buttons are um

858
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:39,600
they just have like a little cute can you see it they say do not drop on oh that's just a subtle

859
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:44,800
LTT touch adorable you're not going to read that unless you're like the person wearing the shirt so

860
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:50,160
it won't it won't stand out in an office environment and there is LTT branding on it even though it's

861
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:55,760
probably pretty hard to tell oh yeah very small embroidered right here black on black LTT branding

862
01:36:55,760 --> 01:37:00,320
so should be totally fine right above the nips i think i i've been really happy with the photos

863
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:04,240
coming from creator right house for a long time now i think the photos for this shoot were like

864
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:09,120
sick really captured the vibe really effectively they've been doing a really good job i just want

865
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:16,000
to give props and then there's one more product launch today i know what a day for product launches

866
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:21,680
we had the cables we have the premium polo we have the tech pants uh tech pants i think have been in

867
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:26,240
in development for like two years or something like these feel nice they're really nice these feel

868
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:31,440
very nice uh people have seen me wearing them on camera a few times i've been i've been demoing

869
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:36,080
them for quite some time i've been really pleased with the stain resistance of them uh that's not

870
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:42,160
to say that that's necessarily an advertised feature i don't want to set incorrect expectations or

871
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:49,760
anything like that but for a light colored garment to survive in my environment where i live in is

872
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:56,000
pretty remarkable um there oh there's a couple other little other little things there's a subtle

873
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,920
safety feature so there's a reflective stripe inside the cuff that becomes visible when it's

874
01:37:59,920 --> 01:38:04,960
rolled up so if you were say for example someone who bikes to and from work and you still wanted

875
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:09,120
to look workplace appropriate you can roll them up and there's a reflective stripe in there

876
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:17,440
cool i think that's probably enough that's neat i wouldn't have noticed that i think

877
01:38:17,440 --> 01:38:24,080
it's not like you don't really feel it which is good a gusseted crotch so just extra extra comfort

878
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:29,120
whether you're biking or just running between meetings or whatever i did notice like i i put

879
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:32,720
them on and walked for a bit and it was nice and then i came to the set here except put them on

880
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:38,720
right for the show and sat down and when i sat down i was like oh yeah that's pretty get a comfy

881
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:42,720
they're really nice they're pretty comfortable all right i don't mind wearing these for a bit

882
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:51,760
all right luke intro it intro it last one last product this might be my favorite packaging for

883
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:57,600
anything we've ever done it's so cute my goodness i even like that when it's like a little bit out

884
01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:02,800
it just feels like there's sand at the bottom nice i like it so much i'm so happy with these

885
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:07,920
i i sort of knew these were coming wait can i have that yeah okay one quick thing i'm going

886
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:13,840
to jump in with we are rebranding yes we're rebranding the precision screwdriver that has

887
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:21,040
the bit storage in it the pro um what does that mean i don't know we'll find out later but this

888
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:29,600
is going to be the pro now i heard the whole story and agree with it but i do wonder what would

889
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:37,840
line us say if this was like a tech product and that it's pro and that it got renamed um oh that's

890
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:47,600
interesting w w ls yeah i'd probably be annoyed with it but i understand why we did it exactly i

891
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,960
don't necessarily disagree and there makes sense there have been times when that rationale did not

892
01:39:52,960 --> 01:40:00,320
exist so i don't know man trying to capture it there it is hey check it out check it out yeah

893
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:06,320
and like that's cool and it still has the i'm not gonna fully oh you i spoiled it it still

894
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:13,600
has the magnetic door but behind the magnetic door Floatplane exclusive precision driver

895
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:19,040
i gotta line these up before people get upset with Floatplane color scheme i will i will

896
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:27,440
fix it for the ocds i got you hold on hold on okay it's all good okay it's it's it's all right

897
01:40:27,440 --> 01:40:32,400
it's okay i fixed it also is the anodization on that driver incredible or what

898
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:39,600
there now it's in focus it's okay luke's new to being on camera he's never done it before

899
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:43,440
first time no that probably is my eye stock so i can't see

900
01:40:45,440 --> 01:40:49,840
so i can't tell you could get glasses that it still has this i they're in the car

901
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,400
devil nice satisfying bearing

902
01:40:56,720 --> 01:41:03,040
yeah i mean it's the same driver yeah it just looks cool it has multiple different colors of blue

903
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:07,120
because the Floatplane blue is not exactly an official thing so uh which is kind of nice

904
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:13,120
yep still comes with the detachable magnetic parts tray with the little segments in it and uh

905
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:19,360
yep it's everything that you already knew and loved about the the precision kit pro which is what

906
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:28,560
it is now but uh a little more blue available exclusively to folks who are subscribed to

907
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:35,360
LTT on Floatplane dot com all right okay there now we're through all the products that we launched

908
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:42,080
this week geez only a couple that was crazy how many how many cable excuse were there like 60

909
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:45,600
yeah something like that damn yeah that it's been it's been a whole thing

910
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:52,800
there's been a couple merch messages today just a few okay but what else we got for today

911
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,640
what do you want to talk about we could talk about iran's internet blackout

912
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:06,480
this is brutal man it's now been 22 days since the iranian authorities have imposed

913
01:42:06,480 --> 01:42:11,760
a near total communications blackout in response to anti-government protests during which has many

914
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:17,120
as 30 000 protesters are thought to have been killed uh fixed line internet mobile data and

915
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:21,600
internet voice calls have all been cut off with domestic communications and starlink

916
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:28,400
communications also seriously disrupted uh some connectivity is now slowly being restored

917
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:33,680
but the iranian government is reportedly utilizing deep packet inspection and a white listing system

918
01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:38,960
to impose what an anonymous iranian cybersecurity professional has called digital isolation

919
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,520
international internet access won't be reopened until at least march

920
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:49,680
but it will never return to its previous form according to an iranian government spokesperson

921
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:55,280
this new approach is also expected to have a major impact on the effectiveness of vpns and

922
01:42:55,280 --> 01:43:05,360
tour connections so this is seriously um it's not good a problem and a trend that as

923
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:13,520
technologically driven control tools get more and more sophisticated and better understood

924
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:20,880
is only going to increase in certain parts of the world hopefully hopefully hopefully not all of

925
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:30,160
them and uh as few as possible so just wanted to flag this for you guys this is a real problem

926
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:38,640
our stance is that this is terabad uh just was there anything to add mr luke i don't think so um

927
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:47,440
um starlink is an interesting one because i'm not sure necessarily how they are like jamming it

928
01:43:47,440 --> 01:43:51,520
or stopping it i don't know if they've requested that it doesn't because i know that that is a

929
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:56,960
thing that you can do not sure not necessarily that they would comply i'm not saying that but

930
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:04,880
i know that you could ask for that um in in places like china with the great firewall uh

931
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:12,560
vpn usage is like a extremely open secret like everybody kind of knows i have a feeling iran

932
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:17,760
might not go quite the same route with that this is yeah this is what i'm kind of thinking i also

933
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:22,720
don't know exactly how this is happening like would it even be possible are they even connected

934
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:28,480
um at all far now asks i wonder if the global internet is dying if there will only be regional

935
01:44:28,480 --> 01:44:38,640
nets that's exactly what this means like ru net's a thing china's own firewalled internet

936
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:47,120
ecosystem is a thing um the tools exist and it's big business providing these tools to

937
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:53,200
authoritarian regimes uh yeah it's yeah it's happening it's coming yeah

938
01:44:56,960 --> 01:45:02,320
magic cheeseburger says mulvad vpn apparently has several anti-censorship methods to obfuscate

939
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:09,120
vpn traffic i wonder if they can get around this packet inspection i hope so um you know i i hope

940
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:18,160
that the that the vpn companies win the arms race here but i um that's i mean obviously this is i

941
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:27,520
feel like when it when it gets to white listing i think there's only so much you can do bro what's

942
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:35,680
up is it team speak um sorry no key linked this thing obviously like this you know the whole

943
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:40,720
thing sucks but it's it's kind of fun hearing things like this apparently over a thousand

944
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:47,600
iranian dota players like at once we're playing dota 2 local hosted lobbies and this looks like in

945
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:54,720
a locally hosted team speak server um and the the video that we have on this if you full screen it

946
01:45:54,720 --> 01:46:01,680
is just scrolling through all of the different voice lobbies that they have going um in a in a

947
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:09,360
team speak server that seems to be called dota iran um which like that is it's so cool

948
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:14,960
seeing people come together in horrible times yeah like obviously it's a horrible situation i

949
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:20,480
don't want to praise that but like it's pretty sweet that not only were people able to get

950
01:46:20,480 --> 01:46:25,520
together to a certain degree but they also got so many people together and like this this you

951
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:33,360
know spark of unity amongst terrible situation is is cool so i'm i'm props to props to the people

952
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:39,440
getting that going yeah ginger nut it says it's both sad and terrifying to see people who are

953
01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:46,480
just like you and me just regular gamers who just want to live in peace and play some play some

954
01:46:46,480 --> 01:46:55,840
f***ing dota like just be left alone to live their lives and function and you know sometimes

955
01:46:55,840 --> 01:47:01,200
dysfunction for being real about the dota community you know but do it on their terms yeah

956
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:14,160
cool um the iphone 5s just got a security update apple quietly released updates for some very old

957
01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:20,400
iphones and ipads including devices running iOS 12 15 and 16 some of which hadn't been patched in

958
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:25,760
years the updates renew a security certificate so services like i message facetime and apple

959
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:33,520
account sign in will keep working past january of 20 27 our discussion question is should apple be

960
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:39,120
praised for keeping decade old devices minimally functional or is this just the bare minimum

961
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:47,040
to avoid breaking its own services well i wish it didn't deserve praise and yet

962
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:54,080
in the world we live in in the in reality yeah they they this is something that that has to be

963
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:59,200
noted like i'll be the first to call out apple when they do something that's anti consumer

964
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:05,920
or monopolistic but this is cool that means the rule is that i got to be the first one in line

965
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:11,520
to put their in my mouth when they do something that is genuinely cool like making sure that

966
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:20,400
someone who bought an iphone 13 years ago is still able to use it if they can tolerate the

967
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:24,560
you know the the experience that they're having on that device gotta be pretty rough but still

968
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:37,920
that's that's pretty cool speaking of pretty cool uh 1.3 million of its 1.4 million signatures were verified for

969
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:42,080
stop killing games that's which is well above the minimum to be formally considered by EU

970
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:49,520
politicians i had no hope for this really yeah stop killing games i just i mean we talked about it

971
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:55,600
we promoted it we were like yeah if this works that would be great but i just i didn't think it

972
01:48:55,600 --> 01:49:01,760
would make it i do i do the odds obviously in support of the idea i think i think when this

973
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:07,440
when this first became a thing and i like tried to talk about it with some nuance it got a lot of

974
01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:12,800
hate but then we were luckily able to lean back on the many years of examples of us supporting

975
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:20,000
this general concept uh the the problem i have with things like this is i just hope that they get

976
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:25,600
good consultants on the result that's all sure but i just didn't think we'd even make it this far

977
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:30,240
totally yeah and i'm excited about it and the EU's done some cool stuff so hopefully this goes well

978
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:35,360
and i'm feeling good about it i just i'm just a little bit concerned that they might do something

979
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:42,080
yeah that or they might do nothing or that but at least it is forced onto the agenda of the

980
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:50,240
european commission that is something cool and if one region forces game developers to do this

981
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:57,120
to whether it's to open source the the the server software or whatever it is right partner with

982
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:02,880
the community to to to run the services that are needed to keep the game alive whatever it is if one

983
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:08,640
region forces it well at that point they've done all the work anyway and a lot of the time it will

984
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:14,560
bleed over into other regions which is what i'm hoping for because so far canada's got its hands

985
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:18,640
full doing a lot of other stuff right now i'm pretty busy maybe maybe we don't work on this right

986
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:25,120
now the us is there's this big got his hands full doing a lot of stuff right now yeah doing a lot

987
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:30,880
of stuff right now um they're definitely things yeah there's definitely they're definitely boy are

988
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:35,200
they ever doing stuff i'd say things are going pretty good down there right now

989
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:48,560
yeah this is funny uh bernardo baruch said about the apple uh the apple topic it's like seeing a

990
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:55,680
mayor actually do their job yeah it's basically like that it's like i shouldn't have to be impressed

991
01:50:55,680 --> 01:51:03,920
by this but i so am i so am all right what's next reddit found a card skimmer on the canada

992
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:08,800
computer's checkout page a canada computer's customer has discovered a card skimmer embedded

993
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:13,600
directly into the company's website checkout page the malicious script was found siphoning names

994
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:18,640
addresses and credit card details to a third party server in real time suggesting a server side

995
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:24,880
compromise rather than a single browser based attack reports indicate fraudulent charges dating

996
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:32,560
back to early december meaning the breach may have gone undetected for weeks or i mean really

997
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:36,000
potentially longer considering it's saying fraudulent charges they might have been harvesting

998
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:40,800
for a long time before they started actually using uh which is extremely common in these cases so i

999
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:44,960
suspect it was a lot longer than that canada computer says not yet issued a public statement

1000
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:50,880
and affected customers are being advised to review recent credit activity via an email

1001
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:58,160
dang is an email enough of a notification when dealing with this big of a security breach what

1002
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:03,600
should companies do to handle this i don't know how much more you can really do than that i don't

1003
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:08,480
know other than like not have it happen in the first place but clearly that ship sailed yeah

1004
01:52:08,480 --> 01:52:18,080
they're a relatively small shop running a internet commerce operation um it can be tough out there

1005
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:23,840
this is one of those things where it's like totally the consumer advocacy of this like

1006
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:29,520
something's got to happen all that kind of stuff are we effectively just funneling everyone

1007
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:34,960
to big players managing their stores for them is that a good thing do we want that we don't want

1008
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:39,040
that then sometimes there's going to be some security problems even with the big players

1009
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:44,400
are going to be security problems i know but this is this is the issue though the overreaction to

1010
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:50,640
stuff like this can result in no you're so right scaring people away do you get tired of it from

1011
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:58,400
being responsible like it's just exhausting to be you not right no but this is one that i got to

1012
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:05,520
admit i would not have seen that angle on and if you gave me if you gave me like two hours to

1013
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:12,080
sit and think about it i wouldn't go oh my god we need to chill out we need to kind of let

1014
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:16,080
canada computers regroup and we need to continue to support them because otherwise oh my god our

1015
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:22,720
only options are just going to be freaking amazon a new egg yeah to be clear canada computers like

1016
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:27,520
almost certainly brought this upon themselves in a variety of ways they never responded to

1017
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:34,480
my email guys come on like i remember i remember them being a meme internally at ncix you saw

1018
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:40,000
how broken our it infrastructure was and our internal systems were like i think i showed you

1019
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:45,040
like like our like product management portal and stuff oh yeah and then the punchline was

1020
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:51,920
yeah but canada computers was still using fax till like a year ago so like

1021
01:53:54,720 --> 01:54:02,320
right but still at least at least they exist and i guess that's something that is that is kind of

1022
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:09,440
good you know yeah yeah shout out memex too i guess those are those are canadian our canadian

1023
01:54:09,440 --> 01:54:14,720
computer retailer bros and that's the problem is their their holdouts and uh

1024
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:21,680
i'm not going to single them out i'll single out everything basically it's not just the

1025
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:26,080
computer industry it's every industry shops like this are holdouts and in a lot of cases

1026
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:31,840
they're not long for this world because things like this can potentially crush them out of business

1027
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:38,960
and then you just funnel people to amazon or or whoever else basically amazon and walmart

1028
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:47,840
and the big box places that have extremely long histories of abusing people on much deeper

1029
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:52,960
levels than credit cards which are often fixable because your credit card company if you report

1030
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:56,640
it properly we'll just give you your funds back and give you a new card compare at unfixable

1031
01:54:56,640 --> 01:55:07,440
yeah like do you want to funnel to the to places like that no right so it's like okay i don't know

1032
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:12,320
no i mean it's the same argument that i used to have with people who would rage at uh blizzard

1033
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:16,800
developers who would say kind of silly things at blizzcon yeah is like the result of that

1034
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:22,960
which we saw happen was less developers on stage taking less questions and if they do take questions

1035
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:28,080
those questions being curated beforehand which is less transparency and less good for you like

1036
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:34,240
you sometimes have to think about what like not what is the result that you want but what is

1037
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:39,440
the result that will happen based on your actions yeah uh so canada computers has released a statement

1038
01:55:39,440 --> 01:55:43,520
thank you the female audience for posting this in Floatplane chat so they're they're doing their

1039
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:49,280
best complimentary to your credit monitoring and etc we're investigating we're doing stuff so you

1040
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:55,280
know thank you for you know doing stuff and uh hopefully this isn't too damaging to either the

1041
01:55:55,280 --> 01:56:01,200
customers who were inflicted or to canada computers by and large we do want smaller even if they are

1042
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:07,120
chains we'd still rather have a smaller chain exist can you imagine that we'd be sitting here

1043
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:16,720
today saying that i'd rather i'd rather root for like my smaller chain than the large like

1044
01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:22,880
giant mega fish that eats up everything i mean the mom and pop computer shops are like gone yeah

1045
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:30,560
there are a few yeah even black lab i think shut down really or the the stored it anyway yeah

1046
01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:38,960
let's see uh we have gone mobile yeah there it is there is another way of saying that we don't

1047
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:43,920
have a brick and mortar anymore we do on-site services same great number same trusted service

1048
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:49,360
so this is the one that i that i bought out all the inventory of and um that's a sick acronym

1049
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:55,520
yeah black lab on-site that is a sick acronym i mean he's a funny guy like he had a lot he had a

1050
01:56:55,520 --> 01:56:59,920
ton of personality that's that doesn't surprise me that he would have like a pretty cool brand

1051
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:06,000
super not surprised and the next one on the the order to get knocked over is places like canada

1052
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:12,640
computers and memex and again all the other industries i'm not i'm not like signaling uh them out

1053
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:20,160
singling sorry um i still have like a uh uh that's less you have a clogged throat from being

1054
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:23,840
sick i'm still i still have like minor symptoms from being sick i still have a bit of a clogged

1055
01:57:23,840 --> 01:57:35,520
throat from that apple praise oh yeah we need to talk about whale lan hey our first whale

1056
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:43,440
lan of 2026 is just three weeks away on february 21st as always we will have contest challenges

1057

and big team games that everyone at the land can participate in our gaming lounge zone is

1058
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:52,320
being amped up as we expand it with an additional projector and enough controllers to have eight

1059
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:59,040
plus players at each of the two 120 inch setups plus we'll have a product booth

1060
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:08,800
there so you can grab some LTT Store items alongside a unique whale lan shirt or hoodie but

1061
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:13,040

1062
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:19,120
um usually eating it i don't know if we'll have any by then but sure um some tickets are still

1063

oh yeah well there's a lot i don't know there's like a hundred laughs no and then in the days

1073
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:23,680
leading up to the event they were like where did all the tickets go it's because a lot of people

1074
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:30,320
make these kind of decisions last minute don't be a last minute larry get your ticket because you

1075
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:35,920

1101
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:28,400
now Dan we have sponsors it's the only last obligation we should do a couple more topics

1102
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:34,080
that was a good recommendation okay thank you all right youtube's anti ad block system just got

1103
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:40,400
smarter and harder to dodge youtube users are reporting a spike in Linus rejoicing

1104
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:48,880
what line is so happy Linus winning what do you mean by winning okay oh my god is it this again

1105
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:59,200
i have never line is so happy about youtube changes i have never told people don't use ad

1106
02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:04,800
block Linus number one benefactor of youtube anti ad block system unless they are internal staff here

1107
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:14,960
for the express reason that because we make as a company so much of our income via ads it seems

1108
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:20,400
a little hypocritical for us to block them on our work i think ultimately that you know that

1109
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:24,800
people have to review videos on the channel at work and you just want their ad money

1110
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:34,000
youtube users are reporting a spike in this content isn't available try again later errors

1111
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:39,520
that appear to only go away after disabling ad blockers or subscribing to youtube premium

1112
02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:46,080
the reports add to growing evidence that google is continuing to technically restrict or degrade

1113
02:03:46,080 --> 02:03:52,640
playback for users running ad block discussion question at what point does fighting ad blockers

1114
02:03:52,640 --> 02:03:58,480
cross the line from enforcing terms of service into intentionally breaking the user experience

1115
02:03:59,360 --> 02:04:05,600
i mean to me they're kind of one and the same enforcing terms of service would be you're not

1116
02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:12,080
allowed to use the service unless you adhere to the terms of the service aka like would you say

1117
02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:16,400
that if you were going to a concert and they didn't let you in without a ticket that they are breaking

1118
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:24,160
your user experience i mean they are but i wouldn't frame it that way if that makes sense at what

1119
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:30,240
point does this go from fighting ad blockers to crossing the line into Linus enforcing his will

1120
02:04:30,240 --> 02:04:35,680
on youtube who would love to not do this but is just you know Linus might talk about our

1121
02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:38,400
ranch our Linus controls what every large company does so

1122
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:48,720
you know if you want to channel the voices in our community you could pick a slightly less

1123
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:56,720
stupid one is that possible it's fun though it's that possible it's so

1124
02:04:59,920 --> 02:05:04,560
holy crap you just tried to cleave everyone

1125
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:12,880
oh my goodness oh my god okay you know my thoughts are my own and are not representative or

1126
02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:17,520
Linus and luke or Linus media group i have to show your face while you say that to them

1127
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:25,360
speaking of internal policies you're not allowed to insult the audience

1128
02:05:27,200 --> 02:05:33,360
what about what about my peers i'm insulting you i'm talking about my peers and my friends

1129
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:46,880
you you did on this show that there is no way that i didn't say i'm always perfect and i i didn't say no i didn't say i'm

1130
02:05:46,880 --> 02:05:52,560
always perfect and that i shouldn't be admonished when i do it i'm just saying it is policy to not

1131
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:57,760
insult the audience no matter how stupid they are i'll have to keep that in mind that will be very

1132
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:03,520
useful even if they're really stupid sorry i forgot that it's not publicly against policy

1133
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:06,800
not publicly part i'm sorry oops

1134
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:20,400
boy um anyways off of Linus's favorite topic of the show valve will face a 656 million pound

1135
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:28,640
lawsuit i love that the uk's currency is pounds yeah because it just that's a heavy lawsuit you

1136
02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:35,840
know 656 million pounds not like that tiny cost of doing business one that google got recently is

1137
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:42,560
that in the dock so this is in the uk over alleged unfair prices on steam following a tribunal ruling

1138
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:50,560
that the case could continue um that's basically it um the case could affect up to 14 million

1139
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:55,360
uk users who may be eligible for compensation if valve is found to have unfairly charged

1140
02:06:55,360 --> 02:07:01,600
commissions of up to 30 percent what i don't know but i'm interested to see what happens

1141
02:07:01,600 --> 02:07:08,240
that is strange i don't really know what this means me neither to be honest we'll keep an eye on it

1142
02:07:08,880 --> 02:07:13,120
are you talking about google paying 68 million over recording private chats is that the one yeah

1143
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:17,520
like what do you mean 68 million yeah it's not even nice sounds like a lot of money it would be

1144
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:24,560
my entire family would never have to work again for generations wow amazing to google that's nothing

1145
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:31,200
that means nothing yeah they'll just do it again they like almost certainly made more money off of

1146
02:07:31,200 --> 02:07:36,880
that than it cost which is just again like come on you have to cross that line at the very least it

1147
02:07:36,880 --> 02:07:41,440
should be way more than that but you have to cross that line well i mean also at least one million

1148
02:07:41,440 --> 02:07:47,440
more dollars yeah come on that'd be pretty nice 68 sucks yeah if it was going to be low it could

1149
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:54,080
have at least been funny yeah so 68 would be doing it with someone with two butts

1150
02:07:56,560 --> 02:08:03,360
or one really big one no well yeah okay interesting that would be the largest of butts

1151
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:13,600
that's a that's a that's a that's a 0.1 percenter man

1152
02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:18,480
you're looking at me

1153
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,600
have you seen that movie oh man it's a good movie

1154
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:38,800
oh dad no pooping back and forth forever yeah the movie's hilarious

1155
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:43,600
what are you talking about the Gilmore D says more cake than betty crocker love it

1156
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:54,080
you me and everyone we know okay all right okay um no notes here cnn is now putting emergency

1157
02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:59,440
weather information behind their paywall i think this was actually from last week but like so oh

1158
02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:05,360
my god this this flip-flake check he got paid to type that from jack logan

1159
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:13,200
i know i'm the one who did it i have to take some responsibility for this

1160
02:09:15,440 --> 02:09:21,840
that's it that message in flip-flake chat was it i even got it wrong it's it's it's actually this

1161
02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:27,280
yeah yeah it's the there you go yeah so um no notes that's bad

1162
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:36,800
yeah the enshrification of everything sucks in other news an early build of google's Android

1163
02:09:36,800 --> 02:09:44,080
desktop interface that is going to apparently replace chromo s has leaked and we have some

1164
02:09:44,080 --> 02:09:50,560
screenshots so like here's some stuff this moved hey it looks a lot like Windows 11

1165
02:09:50,560 --> 02:09:58,320
yep why is the middle becoming the norm i blame apple they even have the four okay what can you

1166
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:04,800
zoom in on the taskbar there's even the four things one of them is a search bar look no look

1167
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:09,600
just the left of the phone i know it's like an app thing but if you look at the the Windows one

1168
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:17,360
very similar yeah could we just can we not because you don't because then you don't need to look

1169
02:10:17,360 --> 02:10:20,800
where you're clicking you can just drag it all the way to the bottom left and then you open the thing

1170
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:24,960
like that's the reason it matters i click on it

1171
02:10:26,080 --> 02:10:29,360
should i think that because i because i actually just run it in the middle because i just never

1172
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:35,520
bothered to change it because i wanted to see what it was going to be like and then it never affected me because i think i just press a button but if it was in the bottom left would it bother

1173
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:42,880
you no okay then we're good yeah yes i know i can hit the Windows key i don't always have my hand

1174
02:10:42,880 --> 02:10:50,560
on the keyboard say for instance i was mousing and my other hand was occupado why would i want

1175
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:57,200
to click my keyboard like with that point one that's not even sanitary the big eight big eight stop

1176
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:08,080
anyway it included screen captures uh running a hp elite dragonfly chromebook etc nine to five

1177
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:12,880
google is where you can go check out the full article on this um apparently it's going to be

1178
02:11:12,880 --> 02:11:17,760
called aluminum os or aluminium os excuse me the codename for the Android based desktop

1179
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:23,840
os agree on how to say no no they'll change it um the bug report has since been taken down but

1180
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:27,440
nine to five google managed to save these screen recordings it essentially looks like Android

1181
02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:32,000
16's existing desktop mode with some minor alterations uh the other big thing here is the

1182
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:37,840
extensions button to the right of the url bar in chrome which is uh only there on desktop versions

1183
02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:43,520
of the browser so that's you know not the Android one so that's cool i guess we'll see how that goes

1184
02:11:43,520 --> 02:11:52,320
for them yeah tesla is discontinuing the model s and model x in the second quarter of 2026

1185
02:11:53,600 --> 02:12:00,560
this was announced by ceo elon musk during an earnings call on january 28th of this year

1186
02:12:01,120 --> 02:12:05,440
the reason for the discontinuation is apparently to free up space at tesla's fremont factory for

1187
02:12:05,440 --> 02:12:14,320
optimus humanoid robot production uh okay now this is a very optimistic set of notes that

1188
02:12:14,320 --> 02:12:18,560
we've got here this is part of their strategy to transform tesla from an automaker into an

1189
02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:24,080
ai and robotics company the third generation optimus is described as meant for mass production

1190
02:12:24,080 --> 02:12:30,320
but then again you know tesla or well more specifically their ceo also predicted that

1191
02:12:30,320 --> 02:12:36,160
5 000 robots would be produced in 2025 and said in 2024 that they were already doing meaningful

1192
02:12:36,160 --> 02:12:41,040
work and then said a completely different thing on i believe that same earnings call this year

1193
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:46,000
and admitted that they weren't doing any meaningful work and that they were all just

1194
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:52,160
development in development um so that's that's something i'm not even going to bother with

1195
02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:58,560
these timelines because a timeline from tesla means absolutely nothing whereas the roadster too

1196
02:12:59,280 --> 02:13:03,440
anyway uh sales of both the model s and x have apparently been declining steadily

1197
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:11,920
in 2025 tesla sold only just shy of 51 000 other models which can combine model s model x and

1198
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:17,440
cybertruck they don't break out individual figures for these vehicles uh for context tesla's focus

1199
02:13:17,440 --> 02:13:23,920
has shifted to mass market model 3 and model y which make up the bulk of their sales evidently um

1200
02:13:23,920 --> 02:13:28,800
elon's one trillion dollar pay package depends on him making literally a million of these robots

1201
02:13:28,800 --> 02:13:34,400
not to mention getting 10 million full self-driving subscriptions um so

1202
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:41,680
there's a lot of people mad about world's first trillionaire and the trillion dollar pay package

1203
02:13:41,680 --> 02:13:47,360
yeah it's not happening doesn't have it so he gets it he did get the last one that everyone

1204
02:13:47,360 --> 02:13:53,200
thought he wasn't going to get though that's true so but if only past performance was an indicator

1205
02:13:53,200 --> 02:13:58,560
of future success then we could just buy every stock that's going up right now assuming that

1206
02:13:58,560 --> 02:14:03,520
it will only ever go up which seems to be what a lot of people are doing right now which is

1207
02:14:03,520 --> 02:14:08,400
blowing my freaking mind it doesn't seem to matter what any of the fundamental product or

1208
02:14:08,400 --> 02:14:15,040
technology developments are companies or sales or anything but uh hey gambling

1209
02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:24,000
apparently it's a thing people like yeah did you see that um for my appearance on jimmy fowlin

1210
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:29,440
there was one of those market uh market prediction what what are they called those like betting on

1211
02:14:29,440 --> 02:14:34,400
anything prediction there was a prediction market thing on like keywords that i might or might not

1212
02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:40,720
say during it i would dude i was so tempted to just bet a hundred thousand dollars on myself

1213
02:14:40,720 --> 02:14:47,520
and then just not say a word like it dude it it would be free money man it would just be free

1214
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:54,160
money to me slip up on that would feel so bad in the moment oh i know right holy if you bet on

1215
02:14:54,160 --> 02:15:00,800
not saying something bit of bit says that would be illegal what is fucking enforce it yeah these

1216
02:15:00,800 --> 02:15:09,840
prediction markets are completely unregulated as far as i can tell yeah like immediately that's

1217
02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:21,040
fair like that was awesome a law i mean we've talked about this before you know a warranty

1218
02:15:21,040 --> 02:15:28,640
only has the value of a company's willingness to uphold it a law only has the value of an

1219
02:15:28,640 --> 02:15:38,000
administration's willingness to enforce it like if something's a law that nobody is going to enforce

1220
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:45,200
and it's just a giant open uh it'd be a shame if i anyone knowledgeable bet it on this thing that

1221
02:15:45,200 --> 02:15:49,600
they know the outcome of why don't we have a completely unregulated gambling market where

1222
02:15:49,600 --> 02:15:57,040
you can bet on anything that's a flaw in the system the mighty reptar hate the game in full

1223
02:15:57,040 --> 02:16:00,560
point chat says something interesting he said it it occurred to me why elon's selling the full

1224
02:16:00,560 --> 02:16:05,040
self-driving subscription at a low price compared to the perch compared to purchasing it outright

1225
02:16:05,040 --> 02:16:10,400
is to sell more subscriptions because his pay package is based on volume of subscriptions

1226
02:16:10,400 --> 02:16:14,000
not dollars generated from the subscription oh that actually makes a ton of sense i added some

1227
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:19,440
square brackets that makes a ton of sense yeah yeah interesting interesting

1228
02:16:22,880 --> 02:16:26,960
uh right a couple more sponsors and then we've actually got some oh we've got some really

1248
02:18:16,720 --> 02:18:22,160
what it felt like my goodness in other word in other news ubisoft continues to fall apart

1249
02:18:22,800 --> 02:18:29,920
after after last week's horrible ubisoft news the company wants to cut up to 18 percent of the

1250
02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:36,880
staff from its french studios are about 200 jobs in response to everything that management has

1251
02:18:36,880 --> 02:18:42,560
done wrong french ubisoft workers have voted to strike february 10th to 12th in a press release

1252
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:47,280
on blue sky announcing the strike workers said they were calling for a halt to management's

1253
02:18:47,280 --> 02:18:52,880
obsession with penny pinching and worsening our working conditions saying there had been no dialogue

1254
02:18:52,880 --> 02:18:56,880
and no respect and that they were being treated like children while their management gets away

1255
02:18:56,880 --> 02:19:02,080
with lies and breaking the law that's not even the end of the ubisoft labor disputes the workers

1256
02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:07,600
of the recently closed halifax studio rallied downtown this week to urge ubisoft to reopen

1257
02:19:07,600 --> 02:19:13,200
their office workers on the picket line say the closure was very suspicious as the office had just

1258
02:19:13,200 --> 02:19:19,360
become ubisoft's first studio to unionize in north america ubisoft responded by saying that the

1259
02:19:19,360 --> 02:19:25,440
process to restructure the company began two years ago well before the unionization process started

1260
02:19:27,680 --> 02:19:32,240
our discussion question is why are the french so much better at striking than north americans

1261
02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:39,840
they have a lot better laws very colorful history of it they really do lots of reds

1262
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:42,400
tons of reds

1263
02:19:46,720 --> 02:19:51,280
a legend political censoring and other fun tick tock news days after tick tock finalized

1264
02:19:51,280 --> 02:19:56,720
the sale of its us business to mostly trump friendly american investors tick tock users have

1265
02:19:56,720 --> 02:20:05,280
apparently been unable to send the word epstein in dms really allegedly allegedly allegedly

1266
02:20:05,280 --> 02:20:09,360
tick tock says it's investigating these reports and say they don't have rules against sharing the

1267
02:20:09,360 --> 02:20:15,280
name epstein do you imagine having to issue that press release can we try this i have it installed

1268
02:20:15,280 --> 02:20:22,000
but it's not logged in okay multiple users have also been reporting that videos critical of ice

1269
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:27,760
are not being uploaded or shared one example is comedian megan stalter who uploaded a video

1270
02:20:27,760 --> 02:20:32,480
to her instagram encouraging the abolishment of ice which was reposted 12 000 times while that

1271
02:20:32,480 --> 02:20:37,920
same video failed to upload to tick tock multiple times tick tock denies the implications and says

1272
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:44,720
the issues were due to a power outage at a us data center okay possibly in a separate story

1273
02:20:44,720 --> 02:20:50,240
tick tock has reached an 11th hour settlement to avoid being involved in something they should

1274
02:20:50,240 --> 02:20:56,160
absolutely be involved in which is the landmark social media addiction trial

1275
02:20:56,160 --> 02:20:59,760
that could establish a legal precedent on whether social media companies deliberately

1276
02:20:59,760 --> 02:21:04,560
design their platforms to addick children which they definitely do the defendants currently

1277
02:21:04,560 --> 02:21:10,400
include google and meta snapchat landed a settlement last week and tick tock should for sure be

1278
02:21:10,400 --> 02:21:16,240
included so the problem with settlements is that so what they're trying to do is they're trying to

1279
02:21:16,240 --> 02:21:20,880
settle so that there's no legal precedent yeah there should for sure be legal precedent

1280
02:21:20,880 --> 02:21:27,680
i yeah if i am i would strongly prefer that this does not get settled with settlements yes yeah

1281
02:21:28,320 --> 02:21:32,160
yep in a very different kind of tick tock story and this is nuts i don't know if you've heard of

1282
02:21:32,160 --> 02:21:38,800
this cabbie lane i hope you're saying that right i did see this has sold his company yeah which is

1283
02:21:38,880 --> 02:21:43,040
a lot more than that his entire life as far as i can tell

1284
02:21:44,320 --> 02:21:50,400
like everything about him yeah his his likeness his his like mannerisms his voice

1285
02:21:51,520 --> 02:22:02,560
for forever i think in a 975 million dollar oh all stock all stock deal so i think and

1286
02:22:03,200 --> 02:22:11,680
and listen man sorry you gotta know the name it's so it's 75 million shares in ordinary shares

1287
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:14,320
in rich sparkle holdings yes

1288
02:22:14,960 --> 02:22:25,040
hmm so basically he got no money

1289
02:22:27,520 --> 02:22:34,560
for his his work and likeness forever

1290
02:22:36,320 --> 02:22:42,560
maybe is this gonna be the next maybe his twin will be point one percent only fans like is this

1291
02:22:42,560 --> 02:22:50,800
is this gonna be the next smosh because they got f***ed sideways they sure did on that deal

1292
02:22:50,800 --> 02:22:56,160
where smosh was acquired for in an all stock deal who this is the supposed to know who this is

1293
02:22:56,160 --> 02:22:59,280
isn't he like the biggest tick tocker or something is this guy he does this

1294
02:23:01,680 --> 02:23:04,960
yeah i'd never something that's kind of silly and he goes i'd never heard of him either to be

1295
02:23:04,960 --> 02:23:11,600
honest with you i don't i don't know beyond that he might do things other than that he might do that

1296
02:23:11,600 --> 02:23:19,840
thing differently than i just did other than that i don't know uh yeah yeah right see yeah yeah

1297
02:23:19,840 --> 02:23:26,960
he's apparently like a huge deal sure um rich sparkle holdings yeah rich sparkle holdings

1298
02:23:27,520 --> 02:23:36,480
what a name most followed tick tocker apparently so this really does feel deceptive given that it's

1299
02:23:36,480 --> 02:23:46,320
an all stock deal yeah if it was stock in disney that would be different yeah totally yeah but rich

1300
02:23:46,320 --> 02:23:57,280
sparkle holdings what is rich sparkle holdings can i short it not financial advice i mean even

1301
02:23:57,280 --> 02:24:03,440
disney stock rich sparkle holdings oh they went up hold on hold on this is just the one day view

1302
02:24:03,440 --> 02:24:07,920
this doesn't mean anything so people liked this story okay people people liked people liked this

1303
02:24:07,920 --> 02:24:12,880
rich sparkle holdings spend a billion dollars on someone's name wait since when has it existed

1304
02:24:12,880 --> 02:24:20,880
i searched for five years and it has only existed since july of 2025 apparently nice or at least

1305
02:24:20,880 --> 02:24:27,760
that's how far back yahoo finances history goes for it okay what do you got uh this one low so even

1306
02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:35,280
if it is in disney it would have gone down 33 percent in five years um good job bluey

1307
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:43,920
bad job superhero movies i was i was joking about this and someone's going away party um before the

1308
02:24:43,920 --> 02:24:51,920
show uh what will be the mark of the end times for disney if you had to pick something i already

1309
02:24:51,920 --> 02:24:56,400
know my answer so i can do mine first if you want to if you if you want to think about it for a bit

1310
02:24:56,400 --> 02:25:00,240
but i thought you might have you might have a thought i don't know if my gut thought here is

1311
02:25:00,240 --> 02:25:03,600
good or accurate but i'll throw it out anyways because it was the first thing that came to mind

1312
02:25:03,600 --> 02:25:12,880
yeah would be the closure of a park oh that's good that's good okay mine is an mcu star wars

1313
02:25:12,880 --> 02:25:22,160
crossover movie like like iron man fighting a jedi here's some oh she stepped down a

1314
02:25:23,040 --> 02:25:28,160
kathleen kennedy she's stepping down oh interesting and i i think it's like the guy who's who's

1315
02:25:28,160 --> 02:25:36,080
stepping up i i always forget john favreau who's the other guy there's like two uh philoni

1316
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:40,160
i think it might be him dav philoni yeah i think it's dav philoni

1317
02:25:42,640 --> 02:25:49,520
potentially exciting we'll see chat chat hates this made my stomach hurt never speak that

1318
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:51,360
that was disgusting to hear

1319
02:25:54,800 --> 02:26:01,920
like vision versus darth vader like dual like star wars is another one of those things where

1320
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:09,520
like it feels very ubisoft coded where it's like this was actually genuinely hilariously easy to

1321
02:26:09,520 --> 02:26:17,440
not do the way that you did um like the path was laid out he did like george lucas sold them

1322
02:26:17,440 --> 02:26:21,200
effectively a money printing machine not just that what you should do

1323
02:26:22,560 --> 02:26:26,080
for the sequel series this is what you should do and they were like nah

1324
02:26:28,160 --> 02:26:33,200
are you nuts and even if they didn't like his idea for it at least there was the there was

1325
02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:39,920
the expanded universe yep or extended universe whatever the e you there were so many and kathleen

1326
02:26:39,920 --> 02:26:45,360
is quoted many times being like we don't have like source material to go off of and it's like

1327
02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:52,400
yes you did stop i and the world stuff was kind of out there yeah you don't have to use all of it

1328
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:56,960
yeah but you could have used i don't know something and man i think the the first people to admit

1329
02:26:56,960 --> 02:27:00,640
that some of the extended universe stuff goes a little out there yeah would be fans of the

1330
02:27:00,640 --> 02:27:06,080
extended universe stuff like you don't have to use all of it pretzel parkour says vader lifts meal

1331
02:27:06,080 --> 02:27:09,920
near

1332
02:27:09,920 --> 02:27:18,240
oh it's so bad it's so bad you know you know like captain marvel like like flies through uh flies

1333
02:27:18,240 --> 02:27:26,320
through a freaking star destroyer in hyperspace and splits it into do you know about white

1334
02:27:26,320 --> 02:27:33,440
it's only slightly stupider than what we got do you know about white armor vader no so this

1335
02:27:33,440 --> 02:27:37,600
is where like you know e you gets kind of weird there's a white armor vader jar jar has the

1336
02:27:37,600 --> 02:27:43,680
infinity stones imagine white armor vader steps into into view and it's like his first introduction

1337
02:27:43,680 --> 02:27:53,520
just walks up picks up the hammer cinema cinema cinema cinema okay okay someone brought up space

1338
02:27:53,520 --> 02:27:59,680
balls too in chat um kishan pd brings up space balls too dude i don't i don't know how they're

1339
02:27:59,680 --> 02:28:04,960
gonna parody like new star wars it's not funny i think it would be i think it would be kind of

1340
02:28:04,960 --> 02:28:09,280
funny if they just did like the same thing over and over again if they had like a two minute

1341
02:28:09,280 --> 02:28:14,400
sequence where they just repeated things a bunch okay if they if they in one movie if they effectively

1342
02:28:14,400 --> 02:28:19,760
did the arc of like you just do the same thing for a while that you did in the past at the beginning

1343
02:28:19,760 --> 02:28:24,160
of the movie and then you just kind of rewrite everything that happened and make everything

1344
02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:28,240
kind of weird and then you come back and try to kind of like i don't know do it again like if the

1345
02:28:28,320 --> 02:28:34,800
movie is in three parts similar to uh pulp fiction um but they're like loosely linked

1346
02:28:34,800 --> 02:28:39,440
just like how the movies were like really not well linked and were definitely three completely

1347
02:28:39,440 --> 02:28:44,000
different things not made in collaboration which is insane if they if they do it like that in one

1348
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:49,520
movie it might be kind of funny roman they can figure it out roman 21023 says robert downey junior

1349
02:28:49,520 --> 02:29:02,800
is also a mandalorian oh god oh god i don't know palpatine comes back again and it's robert downey jr

1350
02:29:07,840 --> 02:29:09,360
iron mandalorian

1351
02:29:12,400 --> 02:29:17,760
iron mandalorian is rough oh man oh my god it's rough because it sounds too real

1352
02:29:17,760 --> 02:29:27,360
oh we have we have groot and and the tiny baby yoda thing groots on end door yeah baby groot and

1353
02:29:27,360 --> 02:29:34,640
baby yoda dude the merge sales would pop they should put us in charge we could make we could do this

1354
02:29:34,640 --> 02:29:40,880
i mean we could legitimately have done a better job we'd sell so many toys we'd sell so many toys

1355
02:29:41,600 --> 02:29:42,800
oh man

1356
02:29:45,200 --> 02:29:50,640
you know i'm not one to make a statement like that lightly i know it's very easy for armchair

1357
02:29:50,640 --> 02:29:56,400
quarterbacks to say i could do a better job no i think we could have i literally actually think

1358
02:29:56,400 --> 02:30:02,800
you and i as the creative heads of star wars after the acquisition probably could have done a better

1359
02:30:02,800 --> 02:30:07,440
job just go walk up to dav felonii and john favreau and be like hey guys what do we do

1360
02:30:08,320 --> 02:30:12,560
yeah yeah that would have that would have worked i don't think we need to do much more

1361
02:30:14,720 --> 02:30:20,720
hey oh so i heard there's um there's some like uh story prompts from the guy who did this the whole

1362
02:30:20,720 --> 02:30:26,400
time so i guess we should like read them pull those out maybe just read them and then just like you

1363
02:30:26,400 --> 02:30:31,120
know work on those develop those i know you guys know like a lot about the lore more than we do so

1364
02:30:31,120 --> 02:30:35,360
like you want to help us kind of fill this out we'll follow your guys i heard you guys know a lot

1365
02:30:35,360 --> 02:30:40,480
of people in the industry yeah that's who we don't so yeah we'd love your guidance on that thanks guys

1366
02:30:41,840 --> 02:30:47,760
that'd have been pretty cool nice yeah we we noticed we have all the money in the world

1367
02:30:47,760 --> 02:30:51,520
enough to buy the earth and all the heavens so we could just hire the coolest people to work on this

1368
02:30:51,520 --> 02:30:56,400
maybe uh maybe this this idea where he just goes like

1369
02:31:00,240 --> 02:31:03,280
yeah we could just throw that away maybe we don't do that we could do that to that idea

1370
02:31:03,280 --> 02:31:07,920
yeah yeah yeah nice nice nice nice okay we're cooking we could have our most beloved character

1371
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:12,720
like maybe be cool that'd be cool

1372
02:31:17,600 --> 02:31:25,760
stupid stupid thing yeah that's good um i think was that our last topic no we have one more quick

1373
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:33,120
one LTT Labs article anchor nano smart charger 45 watt testing and exploration this popped off on

1374
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:39,040
reddit Labs did a thing yeah and it was really cool and i i was as surprised to see it as anyone

1375
02:31:39,040 --> 02:31:44,160
and i was like wow this is really cool so Labs has been doing this thing for a while with articles

1376
02:31:44,160 --> 02:31:48,400
where we're trying to ask questions dive into things someone who's really been leading the

1377
02:31:48,400 --> 02:31:54,640
charge on this is lucas so a lot of them are around you know charging things and stuff like that

1378
02:31:54,640 --> 02:32:00,240
because these are interests that lucas has which is great and like totally the goal to be clear

1379
02:32:00,240 --> 02:32:06,320
so thank you lucas for killing it um and uh we've been posting them on reddit well he's been

1380
02:32:06,320 --> 02:32:09,760
posting them on reddit and responding to some of the comments and stuff and trying to get it out

1381
02:32:09,760 --> 02:32:16,240
there because we're really trying to make this a space that you can go to to you know maybe you

1382
02:32:16,240 --> 02:32:20,880
didn't have the question maybe like me you've looked at phone chargers for a long time just been

1383
02:32:20,880 --> 02:32:25,840
like meh i don't know that's cool but now someone who is interested in it can bring you along the

1384
02:32:25,840 --> 02:32:30,400
path of like what is interesting about these things like can we look into them obviously super

1385
02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:37,040
cool luma field tests what is care mode what does it do yeah it does exactly this yeah now we know

1386
02:32:37,040 --> 02:32:44,400
knowing that is awesome like is it real or is it just bs you know yeah here's there here's their

1387
02:32:44,400 --> 02:32:52,560
marketing here's what we found this made me like interested in buying like a cool phone charger

1388
02:32:52,560 --> 02:32:57,440
yeah which i have never cared about once in my life here's the thermals of a charger yeah here's

1389
02:32:57,440 --> 02:33:02,480
how much it can actually dissipate before it reaches like a steady state here's how hot it gets like

1390
02:33:03,520 --> 02:33:10,240
damn LTT Labs there was there was a red thread over the weekend that i kind of missed until

1391
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:13,680
work started again so i got to it way too late and it was already cold by the time i saw it and

1392
02:33:13,680 --> 02:33:19,280
there was a bunch of like like wtf is Labs doing it didn't really pick up a lot of steam but yeah

1393
02:33:19,280 --> 02:33:24,160
a lot of the comments were pretty consistent on like what's happening and then this got posted

1394
02:33:24,720 --> 02:33:30,880
yeah and it was like a massive wave of like oh my god this is awesome this is what we're

1395
02:33:30,880 --> 02:33:35,120
trying to do right now there are a lot of things that we're trying to do right now this is one of

1396
02:33:35,120 --> 02:33:39,040
them we're also trying to better support video production and do all this other kind of stuff

1397
02:33:39,040 --> 02:33:44,320
but we're trying to the like internal labeling of it and i haven't watched uh that stuff in a

1398
02:33:44,320 --> 02:33:49,280
long time but you know like the vibe in when the tv would roll into the class and you'd

1399
02:33:49,280 --> 02:33:54,480
watch bill nye stuff back in the day of like here's some interesting questions and this person went

1400
02:33:54,480 --> 02:33:59,440
and like sought to answer them and brought us along with them and showed us the the ways that

1401
02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:03,120
they tested things and how they did things and the results and stuff like that we want to do that

1402
02:34:03,680 --> 02:34:07,280
with uh we want it to be fun we want to be interesting we want to be engaging we want to

1403
02:34:07,280 --> 02:34:11,520
ask questions that you maybe didn't think of or if you guys ask a cool question we want to try to

1404
02:34:11,520 --> 02:34:17,840
seek uh an answer and share it with you and bring you along and this is like a huge fantastic

1405
02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:27,040
example of that so yeah yeah and that's it for our topics today it's time for after dark

1406
02:34:27,040 --> 02:34:29,840
mr daniel bassard you want to uh hit us with some merch

1407
02:34:33,120 --> 02:34:38,640
what did we agree to call them comms check out messages check out messages yeah sure we got

1408
02:34:38,640 --> 02:34:43,600
loads of check out messages that we do today i won't have time for all of them i do have to go

1409
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:48,320
relatively soonish actually yes we i think we have enough time i think we've all right structured

1410
02:34:48,320 --> 02:34:54,400
this out well any insights as to why some hold on do we need a second Dan behind you putting the

1411
02:34:54,400 --> 02:35:00,320
metal on your neck you said i think we structured this so well and we definitely didn't contribute

1412
02:35:00,320 --> 02:35:05,360
to that yes you did i don't know you listened you did were great did we though yeah i wasn't

1413
02:35:05,600 --> 02:35:12,240
that's such a like head pat answer yeah you actually you actually did it was for one boys you

1414
02:35:12,240 --> 02:35:16,720
were good boys well Linus was i don't know about you you don't have any say in what we do

1415
02:35:18,800 --> 02:35:24,240
yeah not 50 that's for sure yeah no maybe maybe next time maybe next time you can say no

1416
02:35:24,240 --> 02:35:30,320
we're gonna do the sponsors now daniel that'll be fun i don't never use your full name

1417
02:35:30,880 --> 02:35:37,280
any insight as to why some lengths are cheaper than others doesn't seem to be based on length

1418
02:35:37,280 --> 02:35:46,800
can't wait for more normal sizes to be in stock um the price i can't remember oh um so if one gets

1419
02:35:46,800 --> 02:35:52,240
longer and cheaper check the data rate that makes sense cool good chat

1420
02:35:52,640 --> 02:36:01,600
um if jimmy fallon was on your show rather than the other way around what topics would you

1421
02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:06,160
want to talk to him about in this hypothetical situation you also have access to his broader

1422
02:36:06,160 --> 02:36:11,760
audience dude i wouldn't actually be super interested in leveraging his broad broader

1423
02:36:11,760 --> 02:36:16,880
audience i would love to have an extended chat with him about how the production works

1424
02:36:16,880 --> 02:36:21,040
and how it's worked over the years i watched a time lapse of them building their studio that

1425
02:36:21,040 --> 02:36:27,120
was nuts just the whole thing how the structure works how the individual players within the game

1426
02:36:27,120 --> 02:36:32,400
that is making that show function would be so interesting to me yeah like that like handler

1427
02:36:32,400 --> 02:36:38,240
that we had yeah what does that person's day look like yeah how do they work and i was i was very

1428
02:36:38,240 --> 02:36:48,000
surprised second time around to get a little bit more um an indication anyway more of an indication

1429
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:55,600
that he is more involved than just like the guy who stands there and is or isn't funny depending

1430
02:36:55,600 --> 02:37:01,120
on your opinion clearly a lot of people don't think he's funny clearly a lot of people think he's very

1431
02:37:01,120 --> 02:37:05,600
funny because see i don't want one of the highest paid people on tv get over it i don't even care

1432
02:37:05,600 --> 02:37:09,840
about that at all i just find the production so but that's what i mean is like he's clearly more

1433
02:37:09,840 --> 02:37:15,200
than that which i actually didn't realize first time around yeah i have no idea i i would i would

1434
02:37:15,200 --> 02:37:20,720
love to spend just like a week there trying to you know stay out of people's way but observe

1435
02:37:20,720 --> 02:37:27,120
and just learn it would be very very cool well i think with his history doing it for so long

1436
02:37:27,120 --> 02:37:31,280
they're asking like if he was a guest on our show right no i know yeah so picking his brain about

1437
02:37:31,280 --> 02:37:36,400
fantastic how it's evolved over the years i think would be absolutely incredible very very cool incredible

1438
02:37:37,280 --> 02:37:45,200
my canadian neighbors what do you think is the most canadian thing about each other

1439
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:49,680
thanks mate for the usb double c thick cords

1440
02:37:54,640 --> 02:38:04,080
the most canadian thing about you i mean your last name i don't have to go very deep

1441
02:38:04,080 --> 02:38:11,600
Lafrenière is about the the french canadianist name that i think probably exists that is a thing

1442
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:14,240
left lure maybe um that's another one

1443
02:38:17,360 --> 02:38:23,120
what else what else we got here what makes someone canadian see it's a funny thing because

1444
02:38:23,120 --> 02:38:28,320
outside of canada it seems like there's a lot of stereotypes for canadians you know we're called

1445
02:38:28,320 --> 02:38:35,200
leafs like that's a pejorative yeah that's cool yeah i actually like it that was pretty good

1446
02:38:35,200 --> 02:38:40,240
yeah leaf yeah i'm down i mean it's biodegradable it's it's even like it kind of works because

1447
02:38:40,240 --> 02:38:45,120
like it matches the flag like if you're looking at all the flags yeah someone was like point

1448
02:38:45,120 --> 02:38:49,840
at the people you would call the leaf yeah you're f***ing leaf you know like yeah sure sweet all

1449
02:38:49,840 --> 02:38:56,400
right like i don't i don't even think that has like a bother me like a negative connotation to me

1450
02:38:56,400 --> 02:39:04,160
anyway i mean i i don't understand what people necessarily even mean by it um most canadian

1451
02:39:04,160 --> 02:39:15,840
thing about us yeah like i know i know about some of the um fun fact there was once a contest

1452
02:39:15,840 --> 02:39:22,320
to find the canadian equivalent of as american as apple pie and the winner was as canadian as

1453
02:39:22,320 --> 02:39:27,760
possible under the circumstances i think it's the war crime thing

1454
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:33,920
yeah that makes sense they wrote a book about us

1455
02:39:38,960 --> 02:39:45,680
i don't know like i like i don't think luke's particularly into maple syrup um bc is kind of

1456
02:39:45,680 --> 02:39:51,360
weird like ball hockey but like you don't you don't even ice hockey so like no it's so expensive

1457
02:39:51,360 --> 02:39:58,160
yeah um i think that's maybe the most canadian thing about you that's already what i thought of

1458
02:39:58,160 --> 02:40:03,120
i had thought about this earlier in the thing is that you would love to and watch but have

1459
02:40:03,120 --> 02:40:08,640
never really done ice hockey oh yeah i i want that's actually extremely canadian because ice hockey

1460
02:40:08,640 --> 02:40:14,960
is really expensive yeah there is a i honestly is a kid too no money and too small so it's a pretty

1461
02:40:14,960 --> 02:40:19,360
big on the hitting game uh but like genuinely not that many people that i grew up with actually

1462
02:40:19,360 --> 02:40:25,120
played ice hockey right most people that i grew up with played ball hockey because ice hockey is so

1463
02:40:25,120 --> 02:40:30,160
expensive i spent lots of time on rollerblades but by the time i was old enough to like participate

1464
02:40:30,160 --> 02:40:35,440
in roller hockey uh i lived in the middle of absolute but no where so there was no one to

1465
02:40:35,440 --> 02:40:39,440
do it with yeah and roller hockey also has a pretty major expense problem as far as my

1466
02:40:39,440 --> 02:40:43,120
understanding goes it is cheaper yeah but it's still a pretty major expense problem

1467
02:40:45,200 --> 02:40:50,560
so that that that was my kind of answer is that you like it watch it would like to do it never

1468
02:40:50,560 --> 02:40:57,520
have by the way hear me out we got a um we finally got one we got it we got an led wall

1469
02:40:59,520 --> 02:41:04,080
this is yeah this is so incredibly unrelated did you see it no it's not unrelated it's very

1470
02:41:04,080 --> 02:41:10,320
related trust me so so oh we're gonna watch hockey on it we didn't get the wall oh but we did get

1471
02:41:11,680 --> 02:41:20,800
a wall hey um so i saw it in operation last night but it was it was just playing white bars

1472
02:41:20,800 --> 02:41:29,200
okay so like i i saw it in operation today one of the first thoughts i had was hey guess what's

1473
02:41:29,200 --> 02:41:35,920
coming up yeah winter olympics baby oh i really like watching the olympics so i sent a i sent a

1474
02:41:35,920 --> 02:41:44,080
note over to hr i want to do at least quarter semi finals watch parties yeah on the wall yeah on the

1475
02:41:44,080 --> 02:41:53,600
a wall yeah um dude this thing is incredible sick it's incredible sick very excited did they put

1476
02:41:53,600 --> 02:41:58,800
the long Linus image on it yet no probably not it will happen no i'm sure it will they'll also play

1477
02:41:58,800 --> 02:42:09,120
crab rave on it at some point almost certainly yep okay once upon a WAN Show Linus said something

1478
02:42:09,120 --> 02:42:14,000
like life is about sales and equating it to finding a mate would you expand on that more

1479
02:42:14,000 --> 02:42:21,440
assuming i'm remembering this somewhat accurately okay no uh i understand what they're saying yes

1480
02:42:21,440 --> 02:42:28,240
yes yes okay that is a topic so it's not quoting it exactly yeah so what i said was that everything

1481
02:42:28,240 --> 02:42:36,400
in life is aided by a familiarity with sales techniques is what i was is what i was trying

1482
02:42:36,400 --> 02:42:43,520
to get across and what i was explaining is that just because you don't work in sales you know selling

1483
02:42:43,520 --> 02:42:52,880
cables or or fancy blue screwdrivers or whatever whatever it is doesn't mean that you can ignore

1484
02:42:52,880 --> 02:43:00,400
the principles of salesmanship because everything from selling your idea to a colleague you can have

1485
02:43:00,400 --> 02:43:05,920
the best idea in the world but if you can't convince anybody else of it then the world will be worse

1486
02:43:05,920 --> 02:43:12,400
for you not being able to sell that idea do you kind of get what i mean and in the same way selling

1487
02:43:12,400 --> 02:43:17,360
yourself the value of yourself can help you make connections whether they're friendships or

1488
02:43:17,360 --> 02:43:26,240
whether they're relationships and so learning to learning to speak learning to to just sort of

1489
02:43:26,240 --> 02:43:32,560
analyze something and figure out you know what's what's good about this what needs to you have

1490
02:43:32,560 --> 02:43:39,040
and is this a match these are just extremely valuable skills that we think of as like sales

1491
02:43:39,040 --> 02:43:46,160
you ick sales but can be very important just in life in everything that you do and one of the

1492
02:43:46,160 --> 02:43:48,640
examples i gave was yes finding a romantic partner

1493
02:43:56,080 --> 02:44:00,560
hi dll i hope that you're having a great friday Linus what was your favorite part of the process

1494
02:44:00,560 --> 02:44:06,560
of developing the true spec cables um i got pretty excited when i first saw the cable stock

1495
02:44:07,360 --> 02:44:11,680
um and i was like she thick um

1496
02:44:13,760 --> 02:44:19,600
like that was pretty cool um just like seeing i learned a lot all right that's that's one of

1497
02:44:19,600 --> 02:44:25,280
my favorite things about whatever it is whether it's like a like a content acquisition or like a

1498
02:44:25,280 --> 02:44:29,840
video remaking that's different from anything we've done before externally your most excited

1499
02:44:29,840 --> 02:44:36,000
communication was about like the facts yeah like this is really interesting like when we were down at

1500
02:44:36,000 --> 02:44:41,440
that uh land house yeah and you got the one person excited you were talking about the coaxial nature

1501
02:44:41,440 --> 02:44:45,920
and like all these different things like you you were into the the specs and how it became a thing

1502
02:44:45,920 --> 02:44:52,560
yeah i like to i like to i like to solve problems i like to learn about problems i like to um

1503
02:44:54,720 --> 02:44:59,920
i like it when something is just like better so

1504
02:45:02,160 --> 02:45:08,160
yeah i guess that's about it but yeah makes sense yeah just the the the shielding um learning

1505
02:45:08,160 --> 02:45:13,680
you know why every other cable is the way that it is and learning that it doesn't have to be

1506
02:45:13,680 --> 02:45:15,520
like that it was pretty cool

1507
02:45:17,920 --> 02:45:22,400
dear wan Dan thank you luke sure Linus did you

1508
02:45:29,040 --> 02:45:33,040
did you ever meet or talk to jason pamoa when you were at the tonight show i didn't get to

1509
02:45:33,040 --> 02:45:36,960
you mentioned being excited and you never talked about it afterwards no i didn't get to i saw

1510
02:45:36,960 --> 02:45:47,360
without his pants on nice this had a unique experience i don't know to be honest not sure

1511
02:45:49,280 --> 02:45:55,280
okay this one's for luke then it often seems like you're the voice of reason or morals on the

1512
02:45:55,280 --> 02:45:59,600
WAN Show what is the most memorable time you've had to step up and say something at LMG

1513
02:46:00,480 --> 02:46:05,120
oh not on the WAN Show i was going to be like okay that's a pretty obvious answer

1514
02:46:06,800 --> 02:46:08,800
i have no idea

1515
02:46:12,080 --> 02:46:17,440
it happens on the WAN Show a lot more explicitly than basically anywhere else that's not just

1516
02:46:17,440 --> 02:46:23,280
because Linus is on the show it's because it's live um there's a lot less like pressure to

1517
02:46:23,280 --> 02:46:29,200
correct when it's not live and people will much more often catch themselves because when

1518
02:46:29,200 --> 02:46:35,680
we're on the WAN Show it's about the next thing at all points in time and when you're in like a

1519
02:46:35,680 --> 02:46:42,160
meeting you might say something and then think about what you just said while someone else is talking for a little bit and then correct and it's like it's more casual right so it's like

1520
02:46:43,520 --> 02:46:50,000
i think it's less lan show is also performative to a degree like we're live we're not um so there's

1521
02:46:50,080 --> 02:46:54,800
pushing things to extremes because it's supposed to be a show we'll play devil's advocate we will

1522
02:46:55,440 --> 02:47:03,280
we will sort of we'll we'll be a little more a little more animated i wouldn't say that luke

1523
02:47:03,280 --> 02:47:08,560
and i are not like real on the WAN Show i think if anything pretty real it's a it's kind of a relief

1524
02:47:08,560 --> 02:47:15,200
to do WAN Show because we can just kind of kind of drop the charade um but it's still a show but

1525
02:47:15,200 --> 02:47:22,320
it's still a show an amount and number one is still make an entertaining show uh we can't just

1526
02:47:22,320 --> 02:47:28,000
go full business meeting on the show at least not all the time some yeah sometimes sometimes it's

1527
02:47:28,000 --> 02:47:34,560
useful actually um i don't know i'm not trying to cop out i just i don't know um you also gotta

1528
02:47:34,560 --> 02:47:40,560
remember that part of it is like luke's role on the show like just because i say something and luke

1529
02:47:40,560 --> 02:47:44,880
steps in and is the voice of reason doesn't mean that behind the scenes there aren't things that we

1530
02:47:45,600 --> 02:47:51,440
agree on i might my position might be a lot closer to his even if the way that i explained

1531
02:47:51,440 --> 02:47:57,280
it isn't great and his position might be a lot closer to mine even if he knows that you guys

1532
02:47:57,280 --> 02:48:09,360
can't hear that right now like my eye started twitching on that one um i'm wondering like i don't

1533
02:48:09,360 --> 02:48:19,680
know man like some of our some of our like biggest scandals have just become kind of a

1534
02:48:19,680 --> 02:48:23,680
mainstream opinion at this point like the ad block is piracy one is a great example

1535
02:48:24,240 --> 02:48:30,800
my thing i'm still honestly mostly just confused on that one because like i don't know you were

1536
02:48:30,800 --> 02:48:35,280
framed as like voice of reason on it but i don't think you ever actually like said you disagreed

1537
02:48:35,360 --> 02:48:40,480
was i framed a voice of reason on that one in general i think you were on that one i don't

1538
02:48:40,480 --> 02:48:46,400
know about that one i don't know how you said it originally you you do this thing sometimes where

1539
02:48:46,400 --> 02:48:51,760
you you calibrate on wancho that's true where you'll say something like that's really intensely

1540
02:48:51,760 --> 02:48:56,880
and dramatically and then get the feedback and be like all right well that's a perfect example

1541
02:48:56,880 --> 02:49:02,480
is that where we were like okay fine we'll call it privateering because i'm actually technically

1542
02:49:02,480 --> 02:49:09,360
piracy is this you know rigidly defined crime and it's not a crime what i'm doing and that's nice but

1543
02:49:12,720 --> 02:49:16,080
but functionally speaking i think it's just it just doesn't offend me

1544
02:49:17,520 --> 02:49:22,480
like at all well let's say just that people don't know why people get so upset about it's

1545
02:49:22,480 --> 02:49:28,000
because you're not an insecure little bitch maybe i'm honestly i just like i just don't care like

1546
02:49:28,240 --> 02:49:34,160
if it's well i know it's because you're not an insecure little that's why it's that simple and

1547
02:49:34,160 --> 02:49:38,960
see this is one of those things where i'm gonna say this thing and then he's gonna he's gonna kind

1548
02:49:38,960 --> 02:49:46,560
of do the luke thing where he kind of like absorbs sort of my very direct energy and he laughs and

1549
02:49:46,560 --> 02:49:52,480
is likable and you guys like him for it this is so awkward stop perseving me

1550
02:49:55,760 --> 02:50:01,680
yeah i don't know i uh i think when i wear the hat i wear the hat proudly and just don't care

1551
02:50:01,680 --> 02:50:06,800
well yeah that's because you're not an insecure little bitch this is part this is this is part of

1552
02:50:06,800 --> 02:50:11,200
what i think Linus was saying the whole time which is that he's not actually judging you for it yeah

1553
02:50:11,920 --> 02:50:18,400
he's just saying that it is a thing and that's fine and back in my day everyone that i knew

1554
02:50:18,400 --> 02:50:23,840
wore the hat proud yeah i i didn't think who did when i said it i didn't think it was gonna be

1555
02:50:23,840 --> 02:50:29,200
controversial i thought this whole community wore the hat proud so at that point dude i was so

1556
02:50:29,200 --> 02:50:33,920
confused by the i'm still confused there's people who are still mad at me about it i also think

1557
02:50:33,920 --> 02:50:38,240
there's good reasons there's there's malvertising there's like all these other kind of things but

1558
02:50:38,560 --> 02:50:45,840
just just wear the hat dude whatever i yeah i don't know i don't know man we never said don't

1559
02:50:45,840 --> 02:50:52,480
do it we said what i said what i said was you need to understand the consequences yeah and

1560
02:50:52,480 --> 02:50:59,760
there are consequences there are consequences yeah like the erosion of independent news media

1561
02:50:59,760 --> 02:51:07,200
is a consequence of people not being willing to pay for it that's a consequence yeah okay the current

1562
02:51:07,200 --> 02:51:14,240
degradation of the youtube service maybe would have happened anyway but the rate that it's going

1563
02:51:14,240 --> 02:51:21,280
at is almost certainly a consequence of not every user contributing monetarily to the services

1564
02:51:21,280 --> 02:51:28,800
ongoing operation these are consequences not saying don't do it i'm just saying understand the

1565
02:51:28,800 --> 02:51:35,360
consequences and if you're gonna wear the hat just f***ing wear it wear it and just don't

1566
02:51:35,360 --> 02:51:39,760
worry about it and you don't have to it's not it's not like if you're like oh i'm very against

1567
02:51:39,760 --> 02:51:45,040
like pirating you know music and games and books the the only thing that i do in this field is ad

1568
02:51:45,040 --> 02:51:50,400
blogging you still wear the hat just with your your special caveats everyone has their own lines

1569
02:51:50,400 --> 02:51:55,200
everyone's lines are slightly different and that's totally okay and when someone calls you on it

1570
02:51:55,920 --> 02:52:01,920
don't go home crawl into your bed curl up in a ball and cry like a little b***h

1571
02:52:02,000 --> 02:52:06,800
and i think there's still i think on top of that there's a good argument of like

1572
02:52:06,800 --> 02:52:11,680
and this isn't it's not against the law to do ad blocking to be clear but even if it was

1573
02:52:13,440 --> 02:52:22,960
like at very few points if any in history has the law been truly a good moral compass for everyone

1574
02:52:24,000 --> 02:52:26,880
yeah we've had to have that conversation with our kids a couple times actually

1575
02:52:27,520 --> 02:52:31,600
like like just because it's a more advanced conversation i'm yeah i suspect those were

1576
02:52:31,600 --> 02:52:41,520
more recent yeah but like yeah i'm not yeah oh i need to go pretty quick all right what time

1577
02:52:41,520 --> 02:52:49,600
am i supposed to be where i'm supposed to be i was told uh okay oh okay that's not bad i thought it

1578
02:52:49,600 --> 02:52:53,600
was i thought it was six okay cool the minute told us on that all right which would have been

1579
02:52:53,680 --> 02:53:01,360
that makes sense remove yeah wicked smart yeah tell that to iran i'm sure the vast majority

1580
02:53:01,360 --> 02:53:06,880
of the people in iran feel that very strongly right now like yeah i don't think i have to

1581
02:53:06,880 --> 02:53:10,720
tell that to iran i think they know i don't think they'd hear it i think their internet

1582
02:53:10,720 --> 02:53:17,040
just turned off right come on team speak hello dll Linus i wanted to ask how your expedition 33

1583
02:53:17,040 --> 02:53:23,920
is going where are you act wise and how we and how are you feeling about it nice what is your

1584
02:53:23,920 --> 02:53:28,640
current party you don't even get the reference i don't but i really liked how Dan voice acted it

1585
02:53:32,320 --> 02:53:40,640
current party config is all ladies all the time um they're my girls and part of it is because i

1586
02:53:40,640 --> 02:53:47,120
just like their style and part of it is that i invested a lot of lumina points into them and

1587
02:53:47,120 --> 02:53:54,880
as far as i can tell that's the one thing you can't respect so um yeah lumina lumia whatever

1588
02:53:54,880 --> 02:54:00,160
whatever it is the the points that allow you to assign more abilities and whatnot that are not

1589
02:54:00,160 --> 02:54:07,040
directly equipped to them so um yep i've got my absolute fire goddess mile and then i've got uh

1590
02:54:07,680 --> 02:54:14,720
loon with the cheater ability so that she can one two punch the uh just the cheap lightning one

1591
02:54:14,720 --> 02:54:20,320
and then the like absolute atom bomb earth single target attack and then what have i got going on

1592
02:54:20,320 --> 02:54:28,480
with uh seal i forget basically she's just she's a nuke in general so good stuff um i have no idea

1593
02:54:28,480 --> 02:54:36,880
if that's the right meta i i i've been studiously avoiding spoilers and anything that will affect

1594
02:54:36,960 --> 02:54:41,280
the way that i play the game i'm not even gonna be looking at chat right now because i just want

1595
02:54:41,280 --> 02:54:45,600
to play the game and enjoy the game and if i ever do another run through then i'll be more than happy

1596
02:54:45,600 --> 02:54:51,440
to like search for stuff where to find you know that ability or that weapon or you know whatever

1597
02:54:51,440 --> 02:54:56,240
else but i want to explore the game world i want to immerse myself in it i want to have fun i don't

1598
02:54:56,240 --> 02:55:02,720
want to uh i don't want to i don't want it to become a job i want to play a game and i'm just

1599
02:55:02,720 --> 02:55:06,400
enjoying the heck out of them like ridiculously over leveled at this point just because i just

1600
02:55:06,400 --> 02:55:10,720
want to like fight everything and explore everywhere and it's been it's been an absolute

1601
02:55:10,720 --> 02:55:15,600
blast i'm really enjoying the game i'm on the third act um what else can i say that would not have

1602
02:55:16,320 --> 02:55:23,040
any spoilers in it to speak of um how's it going where are you act wise how you feeling about

1603
02:55:23,040 --> 02:55:26,880
yeah really really enjoying it though such a such a good game even playing for a while though yeah

1604
02:55:26,880 --> 02:55:32,320
i think i well it's hard to tell my my hours in game get kind of messed up when i um i didn't

1605
02:55:32,320 --> 02:55:36,800
mean it that way using the gpd win five and it doesn't go to sleep and the game is open so it

1606
02:55:36,800 --> 02:55:42,240
gets like an extra eight hours on it overnight so steam says 50 hours but it's probably more like

1607
02:55:42,240 --> 02:55:51,200
30 35 but yeah i've yeah i've been enjoying the heck out of it i um i have completed all of the

1608
02:55:51,200 --> 02:55:56,240
beaches those of you who are in the know will know so someone said that i hadn't done the most

1609
02:55:56,240 --> 02:56:01,680
frustrating one yet when i said something about one that was very frustrating i have i actually

1610
02:56:01,680 --> 02:56:05,520
did not find it as frustrating as the one that i had done before it was just kind of there's a

1611
02:56:05,520 --> 02:56:12,000
little bit of luck involved in one of them but i have done them all and gotten the utterly worthless

1612
02:56:12,000 --> 02:56:21,680
rewards from all of them and i proudly have my worthless rewards a couple more here bingledongle

1613
02:56:21,680 --> 02:56:27,600
dingledangle how absurd are your plans for tech house can we look forward to voice activated

1614
02:56:27,600 --> 02:56:35,760
chandeliers of fruit or local llm butlers in the wall not absurd um gi are our our our buyer our

1615
02:56:35,760 --> 02:56:42,240
target for it is meant to be like you know a guy gi yeah you named your theoretical buyer yeah

1616
02:56:42,240 --> 02:56:48,880
that's kind of neat yeah his wife is gal gi and gal yeah nice gi and gal so gg we kind of we kind

1617
02:56:48,880 --> 02:56:54,480
of created a profile forum and there was some concern raised in the community that um you know

1618
02:56:54,480 --> 02:56:59,920
the things that we were doing might not have wife acceptance factor okay so this is a way to keep

1619
02:56:59,920 --> 02:57:04,800
that in mind but this is a hundred percent we know from the start that that was going to need to be a

1620
02:57:04,800 --> 02:57:10,800
thing gal needs to accept it yeah exactly so we need to make sure that it is acceptable to her

1621
02:57:10,800 --> 02:57:16,160
so there will be places that are going to be a little bit more guy zone but one of the things

1622
02:57:16,160 --> 02:57:22,080
that jordan was doing today as he went through with um with our camera crew and got some before shots

1623
02:57:22,880 --> 02:57:29,920
was he he brought um someone with two x chromosomes to ask the important questions like

1624
02:57:29,920 --> 02:57:37,520
where would i put a full length mirror things that we and gi may not consider but

1625
02:57:37,520 --> 02:57:44,080
we absolutely do need to accommodate stuff like that so should be a good balance

1626
02:57:45,520 --> 02:57:49,600
Linus how do you like the garment i've been wearing one for many years and i love

1627
02:57:50,560 --> 02:57:55,200
it's fine i i think i just might not be a smart watch person i think that might be the bottom

1628
02:57:55,200 --> 02:58:00,800
line for me i might get a casio calculator watch or something because i think i'm just

1629
02:58:01,520 --> 02:58:05,120
those are pretty sick i think i'm just over it those are pretty sick yep

1630
02:58:07,760 --> 02:58:12,000
and the last one i have you can you can get like baller casios um

1631
02:58:12,960 --> 02:58:22,720
um watch custom i'm not a watch guy uh i can't be i would lose it immediately nice i don't know

1632
02:58:22,720 --> 02:58:30,240
if i want to like advertise this guy's site um i don't want to get an analog watch my brain is

1633
02:58:30,240 --> 02:58:38,320
usually too tired to figure out what sounds good yeah digital this guy customizes casios what

1634
02:58:38,320 --> 02:58:43,040
makes them like a bunch of different that's cool this one i think it looks pretty sweet

1635
02:58:43,040 --> 02:58:48,240
i haven't seen that before but it reminds me of like 80s cars but not super cool there's a

1636
02:58:48,240 --> 02:58:52,400
there's a bunch of different types oh my goodness there's so many again i would never buy one for

1637
02:58:52,400 --> 02:58:57,600
myself i would lose it instantaneously how is the watch market so big that like this exists

1638
02:58:57,600 --> 02:59:03,760
i just don't understand it yeah it's the only fashion accessory for men that's so not true

1639
02:59:03,760 --> 02:59:10,240
belts earrings oh there they are okay not earrings if you're cool you can have the

1640
02:59:10,240 --> 02:59:16,560
deadly wrist things of like leather strips and stuff yeah some people do that and pull it off

1641
02:59:17,120 --> 02:59:25,200
cuff links okay maybe not as much of a thing anymore yeah last one i've got greetings earth humans

1642
02:59:25,200 --> 02:59:29,600
have you had issues with unexpected items being put through the ct scanner who's the first to scan

1643
02:59:29,600 --> 02:59:34,240
their lunch and have you found issues with non standard materials not that i'm aware of i don't

1644
02:59:34,240 --> 02:59:40,320
think anybody yet okay yeah not entertaining we have a pretty good company full of pretty reasonable

1645
02:59:40,320 --> 02:59:45,600
people it's a really good question but i don't think we can answer it super well i'm i am certain

1646
02:59:45,600 --> 02:59:49,680
there has been some things you might not necessarily expect scanned but lucas would honestly be the

1647
02:59:49,680 --> 02:59:54,880
better person to ask that maybe next time you see him post a Labs article on reddit you can give him

1648
02:59:54,960 --> 03:00:01,760
an ask binky draws says Linus consider watches are cool if you like mechanical things totally cool

1649
03:00:02,560 --> 03:00:09,600
and i can go to a bulgari store and i can look at it and i can be like whoa that's cool

1650
03:00:10,400 --> 03:00:16,080
and then i can leave it sounds like what i would do it might skip the first step it's like the zoo

1651
03:00:16,640 --> 03:00:24,480
i could i could go and i could see an animal and i'd be like wow cool animal and then i could go home

1652
03:00:24,480 --> 03:00:29,280
there was i don't know i heard about this watch one time where they're like oh it tracks the like

1653
03:00:29,280 --> 03:00:33,280
phases of the moon that's so cool i was like wow that sounds really let's learn all about it so i

1654
03:00:33,280 --> 03:00:39,520
looked it up and then was like have you ever seen it i think so i think i know the one you're talking

1655
03:00:39,520 --> 03:00:42,080
about

1656
03:00:44,800 --> 03:00:49,200
sounds like a fatigue for the first something i think it's a rolex

1657
03:00:50,880 --> 03:00:58,720
32 and a half thousand dollars we got it oh an entry level one nice yeah that's that's so cool

1658
03:00:58,720 --> 03:01:03,680
32 and a half thousand dollars pre-owned yeah that's great and it looks fantastic yeah it looks

1659
03:01:03,680 --> 03:01:10,000
beautiful yeah nice great starter watch for yeah the low income like you know what if someone had a

1660
03:01:10,000 --> 03:01:13,600
if someone had a little like one and a half time if someone had a little watch museum

1661
03:01:14,160 --> 03:01:18,720
and they had the watches and they had like a little placard that you could read about it and

1662
03:01:19,360 --> 03:01:22,720
that could actually be quite interesting especially if they had like versions where you

1663
03:01:22,720 --> 03:01:27,200
could see the the motion or if like they had a little interactive like like like blow-up thing

1664
03:01:27,200 --> 03:01:32,000
that so you could see how what everything's doing inside you can turn the thing yeah which makes the

1665
03:01:32,000 --> 03:01:36,640
motion move could you watch that is like could you take a novelty picture with the watch that'd be

1666
03:01:36,640 --> 03:01:42,400
so cool probably not and uh yeah i pay a lot for that i would i would enjoy the heck out of that

1667
03:01:42,400 --> 03:01:47,760
museum experience probably be pretty sweet but i it's just it's not the kind of thing that um i

1668
03:01:47,760 --> 03:01:56,160
think they look super neat yeah i'm not gonna buy one um i don't know man i don't know what it would

1669
03:01:56,160 --> 03:02:03,200
take for me yeah people like g-shocks my my smartwatch is round and it has a screen in it

1670
03:02:03,200 --> 03:02:09,520
and then it can display pictures of those other watches on my watch i had this conversation

1671
03:02:09,520 --> 03:02:15,920
enough with somebody the other day that basically went like i understand the concept of jewelry

1672
03:02:15,920 --> 03:02:28,320
but i think i would just rather have the raw metal that's a wait someone else said that no no that was me who said that yeah i was gonna say that's

1673
03:02:28,320 --> 03:02:34,480
a it's a very lightest i was having a conversation with them about jewelry um that could actually

1674
03:02:34,480 --> 03:02:40,960
be an art piece jewelry statement which makes it even better how much how much just like wearing

1675
03:02:41,680 --> 03:02:45,360
wearing a hunk of gold that doesn't tell time on your wrist yeah

1676
03:02:47,360 --> 03:02:51,920
you know it's subversive like that's actually good that could probably sell for a lot of money

1677
03:02:51,920 --> 03:02:58,160
i've got nowhere to be it doesn't matter what time it is i've seen one that was like a little

1678
03:02:58,160 --> 03:03:02,800
tiny whiteboard and it had a micro marker like attached to it and you could just write the time

1679
03:03:02,800 --> 03:03:12,640
on it that's cute mine is just reinvented the bracelet how big oh no you got a gold wire it

1680
03:03:12,640 --> 03:03:18,400
just manually bend it around your ARM don't you have like six piercings i do i have a bunch of

1681
03:03:18,400 --> 03:03:25,280
ear piercings i think they're gold they might also just be sterling silver i don't even know what they

1682
03:03:25,280 --> 03:03:30,960
are and in the entire time that i've been on the internet they haven't changed except if i lost one

1683
03:03:30,960 --> 03:03:36,640
so i i really don't i don't think about it a lot gold bar bracelets exist you've got to be

1684
03:03:36,640 --> 03:03:41,920
kidding me gold bar bracelet okay let's let's check this out let's check this out that's not a gold

1685
03:03:41,920 --> 03:03:49,840
bar no i want to see a gold bar yeah no this is not i mean with the amount of money that it would

1686
03:03:49,840 --> 03:03:55,760
cost to buy that moon phase watch you can buy it the the googles are i think these things might

1687
03:03:55,760 --> 03:04:03,120
be out of date there's a lot of disagreements um but it's like 7.3 troy ounces which i don't

1688
03:04:03,120 --> 03:04:10,480
necessarily know what that converts to um but i think i'm looking for doesn't exist okay sorry

1689
03:04:10,480 --> 03:04:14,800
i'll go over to you it'd be like a no i already closed it it'd be like a bar of gold on a strap

1690
03:04:14,800 --> 03:04:19,600
yeah that's what he's talking about yeah like would you want it to be a gold strap or just like a

1691
03:04:19,600 --> 03:04:23,760
leather strap with a bar of gold stuck on it because you want all the gold condensed right

1692
03:04:23,760 --> 03:04:28,960
yeah that's smart yeah so i was thinking more of an unrefined like lump we're talking this thing

1693
03:04:28,960 --> 03:04:36,080
yeah on a on a strap yeah yeah yeah but would you want it to look like a bar because to me the

1694
03:04:36,080 --> 03:04:41,360
kind of i just want the raw metal it would be like an unprocessed hunk of gold um like like you would

1695
03:04:41,360 --> 03:04:45,840
melt it down it'd be 100 gold i think but then it would just kind of like be in a lump if you were

1696
03:04:45,840 --> 03:04:52,000
like a prospector and it was like gold that you like mined or something totally then that's badass

1697
03:04:52,000 --> 03:04:57,360
yes but if you're just trying to flex then no it's got to be it's got to be like proper no this

1698
03:04:57,360 --> 03:05:03,600
wasn't flex this was art statement okay like it's got to be it's got to be four nines royal

1699
03:05:03,600 --> 03:05:09,280
canadian mint i've got a gold plus a leather bar a leather band awesome you know that streamer who

1700
03:05:09,280 --> 03:05:14,560
did the i've got your whole house on my wrist thing yeah actually i've got your whole watch on my wrist

1701
03:05:15,360 --> 03:05:23,280
i love that i think i can see an entire series where you have um you have different watch price

1702
03:05:23,280 --> 03:05:29,120
points and they're all leather bands but the cost of the watch has a different amount of gold in it

1703
03:05:29,120 --> 03:05:35,280
so like 35 000 of gold if a patek philippe that's like 1.2 million if this big lump of gold but

1704
03:05:35,280 --> 03:05:41,360
they're all like the same watch and then you can just compare your lumps of gold and it would be

1705
03:05:41,360 --> 03:05:45,360
the same mode depending on like market forces i was going to say all the pricing for the watches

1706
03:05:45,360 --> 03:05:50,320
could just be market rate absolutely sorry excuse me five nines the royal canadian mint was the

1707
03:05:50,320 --> 03:05:54,400
first to reach five nines that'd be a great art series somebody should do that line is gonna

1708
03:05:54,400 --> 03:06:02,240
borrow 27 million dollars actually it's less after today it's just a it's just a small project

1709
