WEBVTT

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

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:17.880
I see it messages like this create filter perfect day

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:27.960
There are some people that really are have a very unique relationship with reality you're

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

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

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.960
bunnies really that UVic huh yeah and eat them no this was in your school days

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

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

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

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.080
hand because they often eat communally and then you just be like whoop okay mine now

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

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

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.920
want right yeah sometimes it takes one little adventure show them to people and stuff eventually

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:14.000
unless you're like literally swapping stocks on the daily you're you're frickin chilling

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

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

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.720
and you bought three years ago 206% is still pretty good assuming you're clairvoyant and

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

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

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

00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:09.440
not financial advice no but personally and this is not financial advice seeing what's

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:15.680
going on with the proposed bricks currency being at least partially gold backed and seeing

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:22.200
how the general chaos doesn't look like it's not financial advice gonna subside anytime

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

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:49.040
dip who knows not financial advice you should buy Ubisoft if I was a degenerate gambler

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.240
surprisingly volatile stock dude it's all gambling everything is yeah it's all gambling

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

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

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

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

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:59.240
the word degenerate less please it's not mean connotations what degenerate what the hell

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:32.160
know what it means and it doesn't mean any of those things

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:01.920
all right let's do it do it properly on the first one you can't

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:19.200
what is up everybody and a welcome to the WAN Show happy Friday we've had an interesting day

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:24.000
I was just having a long conversation with some of our leadership about

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.400
to be formally considered by EU politicians okay so stop killing games has got some momentum

00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:56.400
that's super cool

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

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:22.080
rap partner dbrand our laptop partner razor and our chair partner also razor sharp sharp

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.120
ecosystem of cable management products so our magnetic cable management solutions

00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:11.760
but I had no idea what the mix would look like

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.600
to sell as many cables as humanly possible we would love to sell cables

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:26:55.360 --> 00:27:04.000
validate them internally it's really freaking fast 40 billion per second this is like incredibly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:39.920
our products regardless but this is meant to formalize how much we believe in this product

00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:46.480
obviously like any limited lifetime warranty you know there's terms and conditions with respect to

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

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

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

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

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:16.240
love that because the the on laptop luma field viewer can struggle sometimes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:44.480
probably cc lines thanks tynan

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.480
she's gorgeous that one on the ride's fun yeah

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

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:06.480
some differences here nothing simple people that are watching um there's some differences here in

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

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

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

00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:31.680
to Thunderbolt so okay couple things DisplayPort alt mode should work perfectly fine with the 20

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:16.080
Thunderbolt to third parties when they basically kind of gifted I believe it was Thunderbolt three

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

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

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

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

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:47.920
like they're not the same because Thunderbolt is Intel's certification level where it supports

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.520

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:26.400
several commenters followed up on the post outlining some examples of other industries

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:31.440
that have similar effects for steam over 50 never made more than a thousand dollars

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:04.400
more older school traditional businesses like the competitive nature of restaurants yeah for example

00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:09.600
meanwhile on twitch meanwhile on twitch uh elijah put this together for the topic

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:05.760
0.01 percent this this exactly lines up with my comment top one percent is 20

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

00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:20.160
percentages yep so anyway this this this reddit thread sparked a lot of discussion about how

00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:26.240
concentrated earnings are and spending among top creators across all these industries

00:41:26.240 --> 00:41:30.160
and even had people comparing this to real-world wealth distributions

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

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

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

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

00:41:59.040 --> 00:42:03.600
people showing their butthole that are getting less than that specifically that out of every

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

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

00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.720
a successful dentist is 600k a year in the states yeah depends what you're doing

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

00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:33.040
beyond that yeah yeah absolutely um if you're running your own practice in particular and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:43.840
this is wild you're literally making one 360th am i doing the math here right

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

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

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

00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:20.640
anyway we're not doing a deep dive into this topic deep

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

00:44:32.080 --> 00:44:39.520
because i and like obviously what now that really is a low barrier of entry

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:45:48.240 --> 00:45:53.600
wandshow hopefully it was interesting and the only takeaway wasn't just butt jokes

00:45:57.680 --> 00:46:03.280
it's a pretty good takeaway yeah i'm pretty okay with that takeaway

00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:11.120
okay yeah Windows phone fans rejoice next computing's upcoming next phone dual boots

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

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

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

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

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

00:46:44.560 --> 00:46:49.440
longer recommended to developers so Windows apps don't have the response of design required to

00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:55.360
adapt to small screens that is unfortunate xda content director rich woods said the experience

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

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

00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:15.440
there were definitely some problems um around gaming with it if i recall correctly i honestly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:08.480
okay whatever and then i click install again download goes to the complete end never completes

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

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

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

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

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

00:48:41.680 --> 00:48:45.760
minecraft together minecraft dungeons minor

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

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

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

00:49:04.080 --> 00:49:08.960
gonna show up oh and maybe a few policies the doors are locked we're okay

00:49:12.720 --> 00:49:16.080
a gaggle of politicians i can hear them driving up now

00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:21.200
we're flying i mean at their age

00:49:23.600 --> 00:49:25.920
waddling yeah um

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

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

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

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

00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:01.680
thank you stop it's so annoying i always click yes out of hope

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

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

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

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:29.520
like amazing compatibility with everything and stuff it's just so bad frustrating use multi mc

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

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

00:50:42.640 --> 00:50:46.640
that instead it's like pretty annoying the microsoft one is pretty annoying

00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:54.720
all right oh there's arguments there's other alternative launchers okay all right i think

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

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

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

00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:25.520
why does your site say the comparable value is four hundred fifty nine dollars the aser

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

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

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

00:51:52.240 --> 00:52:00.240
they've added this compare value so this is a two hundred and ten dollar monitor

00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.240
which honestly yeah doesn't look like a terrible deal for two hundred and ten dollars

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

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

00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:30.480
definitely not that so what is it what is a comparable value our comparable value prices

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

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:43.680
offered for sale by best buy marketplace sellers manufacturers suppliers or other retailers

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

00:52:48.640 --> 00:52:53.600
sellers manufacturers or suppliers purchases from best buy offer many advantages over purchases

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

00:52:58.080 --> 00:53:02.240
match policy that's just obviously ridiculous you know that they have like gold leaf burgers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:55:15.680 --> 00:55:22.480
sort of product test workflow the ShortCircuit um like host prep workflow and the LTT writing

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

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

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

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

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

00:55:54.720 --> 00:56:01.520
smaller bite-sized chunks of the work in this way is actually helping their creative juices

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:57:19.600 --> 00:57:25.920
it theoretically i think either clocks the same or higher basically there was no downside normally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:51.200
probably starting at free you could sell one and then i think it would be illegal

00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:57.840
you could restock one of them every like quarter not a bad idea

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:00:06.160 --> 01:00:09.040
other retailers permission to do the same thing and then all of a sudden

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:00:54.960 --> 01:01:02.320
approaching everything that we do with constructiveness at its core if that makes sense because

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

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

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

01:01:23.680 --> 01:01:29.200
accomplish something through it i heard from a company that has gone through some

01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:36.080
some difficult challenges and you know restructuring and rebuilding over the last little while and one

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:02:16.720 --> 01:02:24.960
some motivation was needed but the the destructive rather than constructive approach was like

01:02:26.160 --> 01:02:31.600
super unhelpful for anyone involved and i thought that was uh that was a really interesting

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:05.120
said like practical um benefits potentially of having you know a reformed offender involved

01:05:05.680 --> 01:05:10.560
i i i don't know it's really hard for me to say

01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:12.880
um

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

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

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

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

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

01:05:49.680 --> 01:05:52.880
are people redeemable is maybe not a topic for the WAN Show

01:05:55.200 --> 01:05:58.800
i'm just sitting here thinking like should i say anything is that probably not

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

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

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

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

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

01:06:32.640 --> 01:06:38.320
um but yeah speaking of things that suck microsoft says it handed over bitlocker encryption keys

01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:44.800
when the government asked cool microsoft has confirmed that it handed them over uh and the

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

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

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

01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:09.200
legal processes if you sign into Windows with a microsoft account bitlocker keys are automatically

01:07:09.200 --> 01:07:14.320
backed up to microsoft servers tying them to your account and devices from microsoft's perspective

01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:19.520
turning those over is just another lawful data request but privacy advocates argue that quietly

01:07:19.520 --> 01:07:26.560
holding encryption keys defeats the point of encryption that thing that thing he said just

01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:31.760
interesting microsoft notes users can request to delete stored keys and local account work

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

01:07:38.080 --> 01:07:42.960
it's become such a hassle though did microsoft actually note that local account work around

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

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

01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:59.360
the way this is worded it could mean that they just noted that you could request

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

01:08:09.200 --> 01:08:12.720
if they said that that's crazy i doubt it i don't think they did

01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:20.400
more bad news lg subscription program for audio visual devices lg launched a new

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

01:08:27.280 --> 01:08:32.480
soundbars monitors and speakers they have partnered up with ray low which offers subscription services

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

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

01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:48.400
subscription with longer terms having a lower monthly payment at the end of the term the

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

01:08:54.320 --> 01:09:01.200
subscription keep paying monthly or return the device to leave oh to leave the subscription

01:09:01.200 --> 01:09:05.440
terms i guess ours technically calculated that under a three year plan the subscription would

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:50.960
like overseas but as someone where who grew up with carrier subsidized phones where you

01:10:50.960 --> 01:11:00.240
effectively pay for the phone monthly anyway seeing buying like a non-carrier locked for like

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

01:11:07.280 --> 01:11:13.200
with this along with the phone yeah um wow okay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.480
compared it a a couple of different ways we compared it to buying the device outright

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:46.240
however however we found that the pricing for this particular model on the buy it outright

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:15:20.160 --> 01:15:26.320
a reasonable alternative and it takes constant upkeep a subscription is fine to me yeah but

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:17:44.400 --> 01:17:49.120
pilot reviews this reviewer was automatically invited to write a review following their experience

01:17:49.120 --> 01:17:54.400
with the company this type of review is automatically labeled verified automatically

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:55.440
all right it's working anyways all right janine so four days ago on trust pilot

01:18:56.400 --> 01:19:03.120

01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:04.320
and a debt collector four stars or more these are the four star reviews that are designed to

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

01:20:12.240 --> 01:20:20.000
sorry i would like to see more there's a three every

01:20:25.200 --> 01:20:30.160
just ring doorbell once and don't bat on the door loudly frightens me

01:20:31.120 --> 01:20:36.880
what are you talking about they just want the person to ring the doorbell once not like

01:20:38.160 --> 01:20:44.640
because it scared them logistic come on now it's just esl stuff uh no it's not this is not a real

real also like okay what's her first language

01:21:03.040 --> 01:21:10.800
well okay i i have some familiarity with the patterns that you might see in written language

01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:20.240
for various first languages most of the people i've encountered whose english second language

01:21:20.320 --> 01:21:24.800
looks like this do not look like this i can tell you that much

01:21:29.120 --> 01:21:38.160
origins last what is brsk internet service provider dude these are all spam now it is

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

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

01:24:45.040 --> 01:24:51.600
all right should we do merch messages yeah if you are not through wait

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

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

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

01:25:10.080 --> 01:25:14.880
like i fundamentally disagree with Linus's objection to the word merch to describe the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:12.640
having people stand behind their product and be excited about things and blah blah blah

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

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

01:26:27.360 --> 01:26:31.920
literally the word just means merchandise which is definitely exactly what it is but then

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:28:37.200 --> 01:28:42.000
give us five ccs of love that sucks through the that's terrible through the internet

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

01:28:49.280 --> 01:29:00.320

saw which was there were a lot of comments about what could have been better it's great thank you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:46.880
after the trademark already um

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

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

01:32:05.920 --> 01:32:09.600
since we're talking about um check out messages

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

01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:21.840
comport that's not too bad check out messages is better than check out chats

01:32:23.440 --> 01:32:27.120
check out messages is better comport that's that's actually not bad

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

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

01:32:40.080 --> 01:32:42.240
sounds like a really strong one it could be like a calm dom

01:32:47.360 --> 01:32:48.080
they send a lot

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

01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.880
probably finish talking about like all the products that we launched this week oh that's

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

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

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

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

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

01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:38.080
hey no i do i still need you to stand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:44.400
extremely successful with is office friendly but really tech forward clothing people asked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:39:07.920 --> 01:39:13.840
to jump in with we are rebranding yes we're rebranding the precision screwdriver that has

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:40:06.320 --> 01:40:13.600
has the magnetic door but behind the magnetic door Floatplane exclusive precision driver

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

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

01:40:27.440 --> 01:40:32.400
it's okay i fixed it also is the anodization on that driver incredible or what

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

01:40:40.400 --> 01:40:43.440
first time no that probably is my eye stock so i can't see

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

01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:54.400
devil nice satisfying bearing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:41:42.080 --> 01:41:45.600
yeah something like that damn yeah that it's been it's been a whole thing

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

01:41:55.600 --> 01:41:58.640
what do you want to talk about we could talk about iran's internet blackout

01:41:59.360 --> 01:42:06.480
this is brutal man it's now been 22 days since the iranian authorities have imposed

01:42:06.480 --> 01:42:11.760
a near total communications blackout in response to anti-government protests during which has many

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

01:42:17.120 --> 01:42:21.600
internet voice calls have all been cut off with domestic communications and starlink

01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:28.400
communications also seriously disrupted uh some connectivity is now slowly being restored

01:42:28.400 --> 01:42:33.680
but the iranian government is reportedly utilizing deep packet inspection and a white listing system

01:42:33.680 --> 01:42:38.960
to impose what an anonymous iranian cybersecurity professional has called digital isolation

01:42:40.000 --> 01:42:43.520
international internet access won't be reopened until at least march

01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:49.680
but it will never return to its previous form according to an iranian government spokesperson

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

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

01:43:06.400 --> 01:43:13.520
technologically driven control tools get more and more sophisticated and better understood

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:44:47.120 --> 01:44:53.200
authoritarian regimes uh yeah it's yeah it's happening it's coming yeah

01:44:56.960 --> 01:45:02.320
magic cheeseburger says mulvad vpn apparently has several anti-censorship methods to obfuscate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:46:09.360 --> 01:46:14.960
seeing people come together in horrible times yeah like obviously it's a horrible situation i

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:47:20.400 --> 01:47:25.760
years the updates renew a security certificate so services like i message facetime and apple

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

01:47:33.520 --> 01:47:39.120
praised for keeping decade old devices minimally functional or is this just the bare minimum

01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:47.040
to avoid breaking its own services well i wish it didn't deserve praise and yet

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:49:42.080 --> 01:49:50.240
european commission that is something cool and if one region forces game developers to do this

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:50:30.880 --> 01:50:35.200
they ever doing stuff i'd say things are going pretty good down there right now

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

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

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

01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:08.800
computer's checkout page a canada computer's customer has discovered a card skimmer embedded

01:51:08.800 --> 01:51:13.600
directly into the company's website checkout page the malicious script was found siphoning names

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

01:51:18.640 --> 01:51:24.880
compromise rather than a single browser based attack reports indicate fraudulent charges dating

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

01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:36.000
potentially longer considering it's saying fraudulent charges they might have been harvesting

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

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

01:51:44.960 --> 01:51:50.880
and affected customers are being advised to review recent credit activity via an email

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

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

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

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

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

01:52:23.840 --> 01:52:29.520
something's got to happen all that kind of stuff are we effectively just funneling everyone

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

01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:39.040
that then sometimes there's going to be some security problems even with the big players

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:53:23.520 --> 01:53:27.520
almost certainly brought this upon themselves in a variety of ways they never responded to

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

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

01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:45.040
like like our like product management portal and stuff oh yeah and then the punchline was

01:53:45.680 --> 01:53:51.920
yeah but canada computers was still using fax till like a year ago so like

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

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

01:54:09.440 --> 01:54:14.720
computer retailer bros and that's the problem is their their holdouts and uh

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

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

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

01:54:32.320 --> 01:54:38.960
and then you just funnel people to amazon or or whoever else basically amazon and walmart

01:54:41.280 --> 01:54:47.840
and the big box places that have extremely long histories of abusing people on much deeper

01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:52.960
levels than credit cards which are often fixable because your credit card company if you report

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

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

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

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

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

01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:28.080
those questions being curated beforehand which is less transparency and less good for you like

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:57:35.520 --> 01:57:43.440

being amped up as we expand it with an additional projector and enough controllers to have eight

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

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

01:58:08.800 --> 01:58:13.040

nine tickets available for by oc plus and we still have a hundred tickets for by oc but

01:59:03.360 --> 01:59:10.320
don't just sit on that um at last time at around this time like three weeks prior

01:59:10.320 --> 01:59:14.400
we had like a hundred plus tickets available and there were quite a few people that were like

01:59:14.400 --> 01:59:20.080
oh yeah well there's a lot i don't know there's like a hundred laughs no and then in the days

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

02:01:00.320 --> 02:01:07.840
january wow i know that's crazy uh also Floatplane precision screwdriver very epic wow v cool

02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:14.480
wahoo what am i even okay no looking at here no he keeps who wrote this oh for sure sammy is this

02:01:14.480 --> 02:01:20.880

02:01:57.840 --> 02:02:04.080
what was that was that clip mirrored can i see that again what are you so confused about

02:02:04.080 --> 02:02:05.680
are you standing right here

02:02:09.200 --> 02:02:12.640
oh it's pointing the camera is pointing to you the camera person is over there

02:02:12.640 --> 02:02:19.040
yeah okay i'll show you okay no no i get it i get it i get it yeah no no i'm just an idiot okay

02:02:19.040 --> 02:02:24.160
okay yeah cool good chat all right all right all right all right what am i supposed to be doing

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

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

02:02:34.080 --> 02:02:40.400
smarter and harder to dodge youtube users are reporting a spike in Linus rejoicing

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:03:28.720 --> 02:03:34.000
youtube users are reporting a spike in this content isn't available try again later errors

02:03:34.000 --> 02:03:39.520
that appear to only go away after disabling ad blockers or subscribing to youtube premium

02:03:40.160 --> 02:03:46.080
the reports add to growing evidence that google is continuing to technically restrict or degrade

02:03:46.080 --> 02:03:52.640
playback for users running ad block discussion question at what point does fighting ad blockers

02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:58.480
cross the line from enforcing terms of service into intentionally breaking the user experience

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:04:35.680 --> 02:04:38.400
ranch our Linus controls what every large company does so

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

02:04:48.800 --> 02:04:56.720
stupid one is that possible it's fun though it's that possible it's so

02:04:59.920 --> 02:05:04.560
holy crap you just tried to cleave everyone

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

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

02:05:20.160 --> 02:05:25.360
speaking of internal policies you're not allowed to insult the audience

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

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

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

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

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

02:06:03.520 --> 02:06:06.800
not publicly part i'm sorry oops

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

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

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

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

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

02:06:50.560 --> 02:06:55.360
uk users who may be eligible for compensation if valve is found to have unfairly charged

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:08:09.360 --> 02:08:13.600
that's a that's a that's a that's a 0.1 percenter man

02:08:17.680 --> 02:08:18.480
you're looking at me

02:08:21.840 --> 02:08:25.600
have you seen that movie oh man it's a good movie

02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:38.800
oh dad no pooping back and forth forever yeah the movie's hilarious

02:08:39.760 --> 02:08:43.600
what are you talking about the Gilmore D says more cake than betty crocker love it

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

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

02:08:59.440 --> 02:09:05.360
my god this this flip-flake check he got paid to type that from jack logan

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

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

02:09:21.920 --> 02:09:27.280
yeah yeah it's the there you go yeah so um no notes that's bad

02:09:29.600 --> 02:09:36.800
yeah the enshrification of everything sucks in other news an early build of google's Android

02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:44.080
desktop interface that is going to apparently replace chromo s has leaked and we have some

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:24.960
like that's the reason it matters i click on it

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

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

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

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

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

02:11:02.320 --> 02:11:08.080
anyway it included screen captures uh running a hp elite dragonfly chromebook etc nine to five

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

02:11:12.880 --> 02:11:17.760
called aluminum os or aluminium os excuse me the codename for the Android based desktop

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

02:11:23.840 --> 02:11:27.440
nine to five google managed to save these screen recordings it essentially looks like Android

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:12:05.440 --> 02:12:14.320
optimus humanoid robot production uh okay now this is a very optimistic set of notes that

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

02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:24.080
ai and robotics company the third generation optimus is described as meant for mass production

02:12:24.080 --> 02:12:30.320
but then again you know tesla or well more specifically their ceo also predicted that

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

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

02:12:42.320 --> 02:12:46.000
and admitted that they weren't doing any meaningful work and that they were all just

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

02:12:52.160 --> 02:12:58.560
these timelines because a timeline from tesla means absolutely nothing whereas the roadster too

02:12:59.280 --> 02:13:03.440
anyway uh sales of both the model s and x have apparently been declining steadily

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

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

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

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

02:13:28.800 --> 02:13:34.400
not to mention getting 10 million full self-driving subscriptions um so

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:14:08.400 --> 02:14:15.040
technology developments are companies or sales or anything but uh hey gambling

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:15:00.800 --> 02:15:09.840
prediction markets are completely unregulated as far as i can tell yeah like immediately that's

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

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

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

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

02:15:45.200 --> 02:15:49.600
they know the outcome of why don't we have a completely unregulated gambling market where

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

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

02:16:00.560 --> 02:16:05.040
self-driving subscription at a low price compared to the perch compared to purchasing it outright

02:16:05.040 --> 02:16:10.400
is to sell more subscriptions because his pay package is based on volume of subscriptions

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

02:16:14.000 --> 02:16:19.440
square brackets that makes a ton of sense yeah yeah interesting interesting

02:16:22.880 --> 02:16:26.960

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

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

02:18:29.920 --> 02:18:36.880
staff from its french studios are about 200 jobs in response to everything that management has

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

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

02:18:47.280 --> 02:18:52.880
obsession with penny pinching and worsening our working conditions saying there had been no dialogue

02:18:52.880 --> 02:18:56.880
and no respect and that they were being treated like children while their management gets away

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

02:19:02.080 --> 02:19:07.600
of the recently closed halifax studio rallied downtown this week to urge ubisoft to reopen

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

02:19:13.200 --> 02:19:19.360
become ubisoft's first studio to unionize in north america ubisoft responded by saying that the

02:19:19.360 --> 02:19:25.440
process to restructure the company began two years ago well before the unionization process started

02:19:27.680 --> 02:19:32.240
our discussion question is why are the french so much better at striking than north americans

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

02:19:41.520 --> 02:19:42.400
tons of reds

02:19:46.720 --> 02:19:51.280
a legend political censoring and other fun tick tock news days after tick tock finalized

02:19:51.280 --> 02:19:56.720
the sale of its us business to mostly trump friendly american investors tick tock users have

02:19:56.720 --> 02:20:05.280
apparently been unable to send the word epstein in dms really allegedly allegedly allegedly

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

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

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

02:20:22.000 --> 02:20:27.760
are not being uploaded or shared one example is comedian megan stalter who uploaded a video

02:20:27.760 --> 02:20:32.480
to her instagram encouraging the abolishment of ice which was reposted 12 000 times while that

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

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

02:20:44.720 --> 02:20:50.240
tick tock has reached an 11th hour settlement to avoid being involved in something they should

02:20:50.240 --> 02:20:56.160
absolutely be involved in which is the landmark social media addiction trial

02:20:56.160 --> 02:20:59.760
that could establish a legal precedent on whether social media companies deliberately

02:20:59.760 --> 02:21:04.560
design their platforms to addick children which they definitely do the defendants currently

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

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

02:21:16.240 --> 02:21:20.880
settle so that there's no legal precedent yeah there should for sure be legal precedent

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

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

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

02:21:38.880 --> 02:21:43.040
a lot more than that his entire life as far as i can tell

02:21:44.320 --> 02:21:50.400
like everything about him yeah his his likeness his his like mannerisms his voice

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

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

02:22:11.680 --> 02:22:14.320
in rich sparkle holdings yes

02:22:14.960 --> 02:22:25.040
hmm so basically he got no money

02:22:27.520 --> 02:22:34.560
for his his work and likeness forever

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

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

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

02:22:56.160 --> 02:22:59.280
isn't he like the biggest tick tocker or something is this guy he does this

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

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

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

02:23:19.840 --> 02:23:26.960
he's apparently like a huge deal sure um rich sparkle holdings yeah rich sparkle holdings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:25:36.080 --> 02:25:40.160
i think it might be him dav philoni yeah i think it's dav philoni

02:25:42.640 --> 02:25:49.520
potentially exciting we'll see chat chat hates this made my stomach hurt never speak that

02:25:50.000 --> 02:25:51.360
that was disgusting to hear

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

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

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

02:26:17.440 --> 02:26:21.200
effectively a money printing machine not just that what you should do

02:26:22.560 --> 02:26:26.080
for the sequel series this is what you should do and they were like nah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:27:06.080 --> 02:27:09.920
near

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

02:27:18.240 --> 02:27:26.320
through a freaking star destroyer in hyperspace and splits it into do you know about white

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:28:19.760 --> 02:28:24.160
of the movie and then you just kind of rewrite everything that happened and make everything

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

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

02:28:34.800 --> 02:28:39.440
just like how the movies were like really not well linked and were definitely three completely

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

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

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

02:29:07.840 --> 02:29:09.360
iron mandalorian

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

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

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

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

02:29:41.600 --> 02:29:42.800
oh man

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:30:51.520 --> 02:30:56.400
maybe uh maybe this this idea where he just goes like

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

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

02:31:08.560 --> 02:31:12.720
like maybe be cool that'd be cool

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:34:27.040 --> 02:34:29.840
mr daniel bassard you want to uh hit us with some merch

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:35:46.800 --> 02:35:52.240
longer and cheaper check the data rate that makes sense cool good chat

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

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

02:36:06.160 --> 02:36:11.760
audience dude i wouldn't actually be super interested in leveraging his broad broader

02:36:11.760 --> 02:36:16.880
audience i would love to have an extended chat with him about how the production works

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:37:37.280 --> 02:37:45.200
my canadian neighbors what do you think is the most canadian thing about each other

02:37:45.200 --> 02:37:49.680
thanks mate for the usb double c thick cords

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

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

02:38:11.600 --> 02:38:14.240
left lure maybe um that's another one

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:39:22.320 --> 02:39:27.760
possible under the circumstances i think it's the war crime thing

02:39:30.000 --> 02:39:33.920
yeah that makes sense they wrote a book about us

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:40:39.440 --> 02:40:43.120
understanding goes it is cheaper yeah but it's still a pretty major expense problem

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:42:52.880 --> 02:43:00.400
the principles of salesmanship because everything from selling your idea to a colleague you can have

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

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

02:43:12.400 --> 02:43:17.360
yourself the value of yourself can help you make connections whether they're friendships or

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

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

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

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

02:43:46.160 --> 02:43:48.640
examples i gave was yes finding a romantic partner

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

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

02:44:07.360 --> 02:44:11.680
um and i was like she thick um

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

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

02:44:25.280 --> 02:44:29.840
video remaking that's different from anything we've done before externally your most excited

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

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

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

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

02:44:54.720 --> 02:44:59.920
i like it when something is just like better so

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

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

02:45:13.680 --> 02:45:15.520
like that it was pretty cool

02:45:17.920 --> 02:45:22.400
dear wan Dan thank you luke sure Linus did you

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:46:06.800 --> 02:46:08.800
i have no idea

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

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

02:46:23.280 --> 02:46:29.200
correct when it's not live and people will much more often catch themselves because when

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:48:19.680 --> 02:48:23.680
mainstream opinion at this point like the ad block is piracy one is a great example

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:49:12.720 --> 02:49:16.080
but functionally speaking i think it's just it just doesn't offend me

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

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

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

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

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

02:49:46.560 --> 02:49:52.480
is likable and you guys like him for it this is so awkward stop perseving me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:50:52.480 --> 02:50:59.760
there are consequences there are consequences yeah like the erosion of independent news media

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

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

02:51:14.240 --> 02:51:21.280
at is almost certainly a consequence of not every user contributing monetarily to the services

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:52:24.000 --> 02:52:26.880
yeah we've had to have that conversation with our kids a couple times actually

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:56:21.680 --> 02:56:27.600
dingledangle how absurd are your plans for tech house can we look forward to voice activated

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:57:22.880 --> 02:57:29.920
was he he brought um someone with two x chromosomes to ask the important questions like

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

02:57:37.520 --> 02:57:44.080
we absolutely do need to accommodate stuff like that so should be a good balance

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

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

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

02:58:01.520 --> 02:58:05.120
those are pretty sick i think i'm just over it those are pretty sick yep

02:58:07.760 --> 02:58:12.000
and the last one i have you can you can get like baller casios um

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

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

02:58:30.240 --> 02:58:38.320
usually too tired to figure out what sounds good yeah digital this guy customizes casios what

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:00:39.520 --> 03:00:42.080
about

03:00:44.800 --> 03:00:49.200
sounds like a fatigue for the first something i think it's a rolex

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

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

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

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

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

03:01:19.360 --> 03:01:22.720
that could actually be quite interesting especially if they had like versions where you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:02:09.520 --> 03:02:15.920
enough with somebody the other day that basically went like i understand the concept of jewelry

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

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

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

03:02:41.680 --> 03:02:45.360
wearing a hunk of gold that doesn't tell time on your wrist yeah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:06:02.240 --> 03:06:06.720
thank you for tuning in we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel no down

03:06:07.040 --> 03:06:13.040
again bye
