00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.600
What's up, y'all? Happy lime day.

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:13.800
Hi.

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:19.160
I'm feeling great. Thanks for asking.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.920
How's it, how's it been shooting all week? Has it been frustrating?

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.800
Oh, the week's been great. Oh, when did that happen?

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.080
Yesterday morning.

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.960
How was filming the thing? Not great.

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:46.040
Which one? That's the answer regardless, but which one?

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.680
It was at your place. I don't know what you're talking about.

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:51.960
Was there more than one at your place? Yeah. Oh.

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:54.000
Oh, you mean the turret? Yeah.

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:56.200
Challenging.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.200
I also had to do. Did you see what I mean now?

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.760
But I don't know if it's going to be good, but I think it'll be a good video.

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:11.560
No. You don't think it's going to be a good video? I don't know, man.

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.400
It's a. So I think there's four videos that it's going to be in.

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.520
Oh, the turret.

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.200
Oh, you mean the yeah, there's a, well, no, not that.

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.240
I mean, the bite blocks. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.200
The turret, a short, a sponsor short for Sammy for like this portable monitor thing.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:38.200
This one's really.

00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:12.080
That there we go back and the worst of all, I just did a video on lossless scaling.

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:14.960
So that was hard to say.

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.320
Subscribe. Subscribe.

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:28.280
Yeah.

00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.360
Suspicious. No.

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:47.080
Oh, man.

00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:57.760
Yeah. So good luck, everybody on the WAN Show.

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.680
It'll be fine. Should we acknowledge it at all?

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.800
Or should we just let it be a secret for the pre-stream?

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.400
I mean, it's not exactly a secret.

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:22.320
It's hard to tell, though, on camera. Yeah, they, they fail.

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.360
They're not super obvious. Yeah. The bite blocks are, once you show them.

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:35.560
Okay. Yeah, there they are. Yeah, they can see it now. So I can't, I can't close my mouth all the way because they put these lockers so

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.520
that I don't accidentally bite off my bottom brackets.

00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:43.600
Having had braces for an extensive period of time myself, that's definitely where

00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:48.520
most of the problems are coming from. Yeah, but I basically was like, I called them today.

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:52.120
I was like, yo, they can't, that, that can't stay in. I can't.

00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.560
So what, because you're talking about how they would shear the bottom ones off.

00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:59.400
Yeah. So you just have to get them reapplied like a bunch of times?

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.440
Yeah, I told them, just like, look, I'll pay to have them put back on.

00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:04.600
Like I don't care, but I can't have these in. I can't talk.

00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:09.280
One warning is the, the shearing off.

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.520
I know. I've had braces. Oh, I have sheared off bottom brackets before I know.

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.600
Okay. All right. Yep. No, it's just going to be one of these.

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.960
Yeah, I hear you. I can't. I just wanted to give you the warning. That's all.

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.360
This is not compatible, compatible with me doing my job right now.

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:27.680
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not good. It's, it's not good melons.

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:45.040
What's the warning? If you, they're tight metal in a soft, fleshy environment.

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.240
If you break it off, it could brain and not be good.

00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:54.520
Did I say tight metal? It's not that bad. No, that was never a problem.

00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:56.280
Weird way of describing that. Yeah, it is.

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:00.120
You can actually break one of the lines that it can poke through your skin.

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:04.520
That'd be pretty hard to do. How'd you manage to do that?

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.280
Like I've knocked brackets off, but then they just sit there. They just like are loose on the wire.

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:14.160
How's that? Like they weren't using the right wire, brother.

00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:20.520
Yeah, maybe not. I don't know. Like no, honestly, though, I still have a bar behind my lower teeth.

00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.960
Yeah, that's fine. That one has never had a problem.

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.680
Yeah. No, no, no, it's been there for, if you, if they, dude, those wires are crazy.

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.680
They're like magic. Like they like, they like heat, they like bend them and then they can like heat

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.320
them up and then they like lock there. Like it's like magic metal.

00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:39.120
If dude, if you managed to break that, they did something wrong. Oh yeah.

00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:51.360
I don't know. Maybe. Um, Linus doesn't read the merge messages.

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.000
So every word starting with S would be Dan reading it.

00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:02.800
So it doesn't actually, um, caught him, but you should send lots of

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:12.520
merge messages anyway, just so I'll feel better. So you can afford to get them put back on again, like every week.

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:14.960
Yeah, I don't think.

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.800
Confirm, do you, do you clench your teeth at night?

00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:25.160
I don't think so. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Yeah.

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.680
Cause I don't think they're necessarily just going to like pop off. No, no, no, it's from when you're like eating.

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.040
Yeah. When you like bite down on something and you can knock off the front ones.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.480
Oh, okay, let's do this thing.

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.840
I want to play tape to tape after. Did you see the windsurf news?

00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:47.280
What windsurf? What's that? I don't, I don't know.

00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:55.320
I know surf shark. I know wind waker windsurf CEO goes to Google.

00:06:55.320 --> 00:06:56.280
What is windsurf?

00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:02.680
Is this AI company number 482?

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.640
Oh yeah, I don't know who cares. Cool.

00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:09.560
Three billion dollar deal. Okay.

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.760
Yeah, of course. Sounds good.

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.120
However, people want to shove the money around. Have fun, everybody.

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:34.120
It's such a wacko world, man. We're like making valuable things for people is like far from the best way to.

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.080
Make money like what are we doing?

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.920
I think the best way to make money would be for me to license my Facebook marketplace feed to other people for their entertainment.

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:48.240
I think I would subscribe to an $800 self-serve ice cream machine.

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.440
How about this $500 rock?

00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.080
One of a kind of rock, great conversation piece.

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:04.040
They actually put that. Wow, they actually put that realistic animatronic dinosaur.

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:10.920
How could you not buy it?

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.240
Oh my goodness.

00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:22.960
How about a third of a third of a car?

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:24.480
Car timeshare.

00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.160
Oh man. What makes it a man cave pan?

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:36.680
Man pan?

00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.720
What? It's it's cut in half. I don't know what it's for.

00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:50.320
He will laugh when he thinks about the frying pan he hated and we'll be glad to

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.280
see someone find a use for them. What are you talking about?

00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.640
They're cut off.

00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:07.200
Oh, they're dust pants. They're dust pants. Oh, I read it at the very end.

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.840
That's pretty cute. That's pretty cute. I have to click on this one just so that it knows to send me more crap like this.

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.040
I'm training it.

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.360
I'm training a good AI. I'm more interested in this Jurassic Park Raptor for your wall.

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:27.520
It's so big. It's so big.

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.920
I'm more interested in Linus's Facebook algorithm than I am starting the show.

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.240
Sorry, Dan. Wait, McDonald's.

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.400
Oh, no way. People are still selling Szechuan sauce.

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.360
Isn't that like totally expired by now? I mean, yeah, I'd hope so.

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.280
I don't technically know, but I really hope so. See three POD.

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.800
No, that's too mainstream for me. You don't know how to train a Facebook algorithm.

00:09:57.280 --> 00:10:00.720
No, I don't. You got to click the right things.

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.520
Crotch rocket lawnmower. I think I'm thinking about, no, this is more like it.

00:10:04.520 --> 00:10:07.640
This is what I got to click custom built rail cart.

00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:14.360
Yeah, buddy. Oh my goodness. Can you imagine why are there like can you be a level seat belts?

00:10:14.400 --> 00:10:21.000
Can you imagine smoking enough of the reefer to think that this is worth $5,000?

00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:29.360
I mean, it might be a lot of custom fabrication. Hey, can I have some of what you're on?

00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:32.280
Oh, don't send me. I'm not going to send that. Just relax.

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.160
Vintage board game class struggle. Rare.

00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:41.680
Wow. I wonder who wins.

00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:43.120
Yeah.

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.520
What is that? We usually don't click on it. What is that? Retail store light box sign.

00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:54.680
Yeah, it's boring. You know you want it. Nope. He wants it.

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.400
Nope. He wants it. I don't want anything. I'll buy none of this.

00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:01.520
You have to buy it. It's not about buying it. It's about looking at it.

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.240
Hillary.

00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:08.720
Rare, Hillary Clinton latex. Oh, Lordy.

00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:12.320
It looks like a mask people would wear in like a bank job.

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.280
Yeah. Yeah.

00:11:17.400 --> 00:11:21.080
Oh, man. Okay. Now I got to know what this is.

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.040
I got to know what this is. What is this? What is this?

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:28.080
This is a picture. This is a $6,000 picture.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.760
It's so expensive. Acrylic on board.

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.680
Is this is this a painting?

00:11:35.400 --> 00:11:37.640
It doesn't really look like a painting. Maybe it's a painting.

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.080
That's crazy. That's crazy.

00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:47.840
I love it. Okay. All right. I'm done. I'm done. I'm almost done.

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.960
I'll be done soon. I've always wanted to try this.

00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.720
Oh, really? I've done soapbox service. That's pretty cool. Is it fun? It looks fun.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.880
It's all right. Oh, okay. Well,

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:04.600
not so sad. It's looking dog. Well, I mean, I haven't.

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:08.560
Why is this dog so sad? Is it his gaming PC you're selling? Maybe it is.

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:12.320
Look how sad he is. He's so sad. It's like, no, please.

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.560
Please don't give me my gaming PC. I'll do my homework.

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.120
Okay. You like this one. You love this. You want this in your old PC?

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.000
Yeah. See, I told you I'd find something you like. I'm still not going to buy it though.

00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.600
Well, no, because you expect me to buy all of your shit for you. Yep.

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:35.760
Kids today, man. No way. Don't scalp the screwdriver.

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.040
Oh, oh, gross, rude.

00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:43.160
Let's shame them. We're going to shame them. Who are you?

00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:46.840
It's going to show their actual name, which I don't want too

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.280
late now. I mean, it's Facebook. It's not like it's private.

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:54.960
Brand new, Boston, great condition. This is the sought after Noctua colorway.

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.640
I'll give you, I'll let you in on a little secret. If it was so sought after, it wouldn't have been a mystery

00:12:59.640 --> 00:13:04.920
screwdriver. Oh, a lot of people sought after it, but not as many as we thought.

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.960
Right. That is how that goes. Yeah.

00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.560
I mean, you can never get it exactly right.

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.280
You know, you want this, you want it?

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.600
No, you want it? No, you'd wear it. Did we, though? You wouldn't wear it.

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:24.680
You'd wear it. Is this, is it a sticker? No, it's a shirt.

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:30.720
I don't like huge logo on front shirts. I prefer shirts like this one from LTT Store.

00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:34.920
Jesus, where the small logo is on the front and the large one

00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:38.720
is on the back. Significantly better.

00:13:38.760 --> 00:13:41.840
Technically, I don't know if that's the front. Oh, it is the front. Okay, fine. All right.

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.080
I'll allow it. I'll allow it. Large logo front sucks.

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.520
I was going to look something up. What was it going to look at? Oh, yeah.

00:13:51.560 --> 00:13:52.200
What are you looking at?

00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.480
Now on the back. All the back.

00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:07.640
I went to go try to see if the Noctua colorway was on the store and I saw our Nido screwdriver landing page.

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:14.640
Oh, yeah. And I was wanted to check if it doesn't kind of looks bigger

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:15.360
than the other one.

00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:22.120
Yeah. Yeah.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.960
Is that what you're going to say? No. Oh, okay. What were you going to say?

00:14:26.520 --> 00:14:27.200
Um,

00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:34.480
never actually tried this. Oh, we need to call Trump phone support. Oh, no, they're probably closed already.

00:14:35.520 --> 00:14:38.560
Dang it. We keep not starting it early enough. Try it now.

00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:41.480
If it works, just start the show on the phone.

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:43.800
I mean, it would be kind of sick.

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.080
You throwing down a beat, man.

00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:00.640
No worries. I'm just wondering. Yeah, I'm trying to get the trying to get the show started.

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.040
Uh, no, I was answering merch messages and I just do that

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:10.720
subconsciously sometimes. So do I. I was not complaining.

00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:17.360
Didn't even realize often either. Do I same with leg shaking?

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:22.840
I'll get people like that. I'm going to stop like I didn't even I don't even know I was

00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:23.800
doing in the first place.

00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:31.840
Let's chat tomorrow, I guess.

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.240
Okay, you good, bro? Yeah, I am.

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.840
Um, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:44.440
Well, oh, what? What am I supposed to see?

00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.040
That's fine. That email is just going to get spammed even more. It's okay.

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.440
It already happens. We'll think they're so clever.

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.040
Okay. Um, what?

00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:59.040
Just hold on a second. Okay.

00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:03.040
What? Just hold on a few more seconds.

00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:05.040
Have you seen this, right?

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:10.040
No, that's cool. You haven't seen this? No.

00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:13.040
And then you click the orange thing and it like expands. That's super cool.

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:16.040
And then you go back and you click this thing. I like.

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:19.040
And then that expands. Wait, why aren't we showing them?

00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:22.040
And there's all the different versions. Yeah. Why aren't we showing them?

00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:27.040
We're not showing them because this didn't originally get approved to like actually be done because this was

00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:33.040
just a tech demo. We were trying to, we were trying to do science on how

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:37.040
it, cause this is three, three DJS. So this is something we didn't have experience with.

00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:40.040
So we're trying to figure out if we could use it in different ways.

00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:45.040
So we wanted an experiment and the experiment was decided, Hey, we'll make it a practical, practical experiment and

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:50.040
actually do it with, um, an actual screwdriver.

00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:57.040
Why don't we show the people? Well, I don't know. It's, uh, it's very tech demo-y right now.

00:16:58.040 --> 00:16:59.040
Just make it full screen.

00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:10.040
Go away. You're welcome. I can do that.

00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:14.040
That's a tech tip. I wonder if there's any, I think there's nothing else.

00:17:14.040 --> 00:17:17.040
You just got tech tipped. Give me one second.

00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:29.040
Um, what was this?

00:17:35.040 --> 00:17:39.040
Okay.

00:17:40.040 --> 00:17:43.040
Okay. Okay. Okay.

00:17:43.040 --> 00:17:52.640
I'll do that later. Okay. Okay, okay, let's do it that later. Okay, should we do this thing?

00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:05.160
Yeah, I'm sick you know you want it you want this so bad

00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:12.360
Well, do you want me to show this on the show? Oh Han Solo table that's sick

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.400
I actually kind of tasteful

00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:25.360
That's actually dope I built this one-of-a-kind Star Wars Han Solo coffee table. It's on sale just in time for Christmas

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:35.480
How long has that been up for I mean a minute I guess it doesn't say usually it says hey, yeah, that's weird

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:42.320
Yeah Highly rated though highly rated on Facebook market, but it actually looks really well died by with confidence

00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:48.920
That's not an endorsement. Yeah. I'm just I'm just me man. I'm just me man

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.920
What about a sound cannon?

00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:00.680
So one-of-a-kind opportunity my goodness acoustic wave cannon

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:06.400
The heck I can also buy black PVC from Home Depot

00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:16.360
Okay, okay, so we start the show. Do you want me to show this on the show or in the pre-show?

00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:21.880
Yeah, I saw it on the show Okay, this is cut baby. It's it's old to be clear

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.840
Yeah, but I haven't seen it. I Swear you've seen it

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:31.720
Ever Cuz I thought you were the one that said no to continue in the project. No

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.960
You're drunk. This is very possible. You're like actually drunk because I I

00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:42.960
Repitched it recently and they're like, yeah, why didn't we do this in the past? And I was like, I don't know

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.800
I don't remember someone said no, but I don't remember who said no wasn't me. Okay

00:19:47.040 --> 00:20:06.920
No, that is not my fault at all at all. I just want to say very clearly there was a scheduled meeting

00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:14.480
When something changed I said hey that scheduled meeting might go away and you're like what no and then within like two months

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.000
It was gone. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Yes, you do

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:23.000
I'm gonna resume the selected now. You're a liar. The selected is resumed

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.400
My goodness

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.640
Oh

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:56.160
What is up everybody and welcome to the wind so we're gonna have a great show lined up for you guys this week

00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:04.680
We will be talking about Google's AI overview apparently selling people products that in many cases are garbage and in some cases

00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:07.440
don't even exist which is

00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:13.840
Pretty awkward if I do say so myself in other awkward AI news. Are you depressed?

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.880
Just use AI so you can feel better

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:26.400
Are you are you kidding me right now? What else we got going on this week thieves are giving themselves refunds using POS terminals

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:33.720
That's very cool. Also some of you asked and some of us answered the Labs did a thing

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.160
there was a reddit article about if displaying

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:47.680
seconds in your system tray uses battery or not and And we checked it out. It's not fully conclusive because we didn't we haven't battery testing is weird. We'll talk about it later

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.960
Okay

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:06.080
Your interest you're so good at it you say it there

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.240
Oh

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:16.640
Brought you today by hreps Vessie and

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:22.960
Squarespace and of course our wrap partner is deep end our chair partner is secret lab and our

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:29.040
Laptop partner is del. Why do I bother? What's the what's the oh google?

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:37.120
Don't we go through this let's jump right into our headline topic google's AI overviews are selling you at garbage

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.040
I mean we all knew that AI kind of sucked right?

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:46.080
Did you want me to do this? I got this. Okay. I got this. All right. I can't resist

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:53.360
House fresh who we've actually talked about like four or five times on wandshow now. Yeah, they're awesome

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.040
They're an air purifier review site that um, you know

00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.800
I never thought I'd care this much about an air purifier review site

00:23:00.800 --> 00:23:06.960
But they do a great job and they are fighting the good fight in the war against crappy AI

00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:12.000
And they published an in-depth report exposing how google's AI overviews pushed misleading

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.480
overly salesy product info

00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:19.360
Do you have something to say no, I just sorry I need to drink of water

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:25.440
I uh, I just started to You know, I just I just I just yeah, I'm good in their testing

00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:34.000
They showed that AI overviews often rely on manufacturer pr product listings and sponsored reviews

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:40.240
They omit major criticisms and will even hallucinate fake pros and cons

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.640
They've even recommended products that simply don't exist

00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:54.800
Independent websites including ones that google itself has promoted have seen massive traffic drop-offs to nearly 80% in some cases

00:23:55.520 --> 00:24:00.080
Meanwhile, AI's reddit traffic or meanwhile reddits traffic from google surged

00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:04.800
990 percent between 2023 and 2025

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.440
Here are some AI overviews

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.360
Are you okay? I'm good. I'm sorry about that

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:17.440
Here are some AI overview examples from the article

00:24:20.560 --> 00:24:26.880
I'm just very into this When asked about an infamously poorly reviewed air purifier

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.880
Google's AI overview had a super salesy take on it

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:40.400
The molecule air mini plus is generally considered a worthwhile purchase for its unique technology and effectiveness in removing pollutants

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.200
It's particularly appealing

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.680
For those concerned What

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.760
Oh, sorry inside joke inside joke for those concerned about viruses bacteria

00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:01.920
And other small particles that HEPA filters might miss according to fathercraft.com

00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:07.280
While some reviewers find it expensive others find the benefits like peace of mind

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.880
And its ability to destroy pollutants outweigh the cost

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:18.960
The air mini offers the same filtering power as the air mini plus but without the particle filter auto protect mode and vertical sensor

00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:23.520
mm-hmm And home kit integration says fathercraft.com

00:25:24.800 --> 00:25:32.880
but It's not incapable of listing cons such as when specifically asked for a good reason not to buy the air purifier

00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:39.520
So in this case it said a major drawback is its limited ability to remove particulate matter from the air

00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:47.280
I mean that seems like a major consideration when you're buying an air purifier does it not the entire point of the entire product

00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:51.280
Despite its marketing it has received criticism for its poor performance

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.600
With some tests showing it to be the worst purifier we've ever tested

00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:04.240
Okay, and even if that's not a solution it often hallucinates cons

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.880
It's reliance on UV light for Disinfection which is ineffective and potentially harmful

00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:15.360
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:24.800
This is this is wild man Housepress provides many examples in their full article which you can find on their site which is titled

00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:33.040
Beware of the google ai salesman and its cronies and we have given you guys only a small surface sampling

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.880
A taste you might say of everything that they've delved into in their topic. So you should definitely

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.320
Dan do you want to go ahead and drop the link to the house fresh article sure into all the various chats?

00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:50.400
You should definitely go check it out and give it a good read our discussion question on this one is

00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:56.400
is this the lowest point In internet history for trying to research and purchase products

00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:11.440
No But I think the reason why it's a no is really annoying

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:20.880
Uh, because at one time you basically couldn't But I mean like during the internet era modern history

00:27:21.280 --> 00:27:27.600
Then I think absolutely yes Um, but like at a certain point in time there basically was no product info on on the internet

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:35.680
I mean one was very very little When I first started using the internet there was very little product info online. You couldn't actually buy things online

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:39.760
Okay, all right. This is what I'm saying. It's it's it's kind of a lame answer

00:27:39.760 --> 00:27:46.000
So the realistic answer if we look at modern internet is that yes, this is in my opinion the worst time and in my opinion

00:27:46.800 --> 00:27:54.240
Again to keep pumping these guys if you want to be like, you know properly armed and informed about what's happening with the

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:59.520
Trillions of dollars behind the things hitting your eyeballs these days. You it's it's a good read

00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:05.840
You should like legitimately go check it out. Um, it makes you a more educated consumer. Yes, which is like

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:12.880
All we can really hope for at this point Yeah, so check it out share it to your friends do stuff like that. It's um

00:28:13.520 --> 00:28:17.600
And I got a very good. It's well written well researched even with how much I know

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.080
I still find myself scrolling through the ai overview and like

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.600
If I don't stop and think wait, this is this is horse s***, right? If I don't stop and think about it

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.560
I'm like, oh, I mean it sounds plausible enough

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.320
That's the thing. That's the biggest problem

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.960
I

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.080
Think we might as well just take a short break and acknowledge the elephant in my mouth

00:28:59.360 --> 00:29:07.840
I got braces Yeah, but that's not actually why that's not the real problem. I was I was planning to not have to say that much today

00:29:08.800 --> 00:29:13.680
But I think there's just kind of no way that we can get around this. I mean I can do the topics. I got this

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.520
This show is so normal. Can they see it? Yeah, they can definitely see it. Okay. Yeah

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.240
so I had a few different options. There was traditional braces

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:35.840
Invisalign and then they had these like 3d printed braces and I was like

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:43.600
I don't know like 3d printed braces. That sounds kind of cool. Sounds cool. They are a little more expensive than visalign actually

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:53.360
So I didn't like save money But they're apparently faster and after the initial time putting them on there's apparently just like less f***ing around with like

00:29:54.080 --> 00:30:01.040
Taking off and remounting brackets and like getting adjustments from week to week theoretically from my understanding my very basic understanding

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:05.520
They have these templates that they put on so that they get the bracket in exactly the right spot

00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:13.520
So that you just Hook up all the wires and then over time they put stronger and stronger wires obviously just like you would with normal train tracks

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.200
um and it just

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.200
Rips everything around to where it's supposed to be just

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:26.480
You know, whatever I'm gonna need a little bit of disking because I have some crowding in my bottom teeth. That's pretty pretty rancid

00:30:27.040 --> 00:30:30.160
um and I was just like

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.320
You know, I don't know 3d printing is cool. Yeah, I'm gonna do that one. Yeah. Yeah

00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:39.600
So what my orso didn't tell me is that um

00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:43.520
Because my my bottom teeth are so misaligned

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.840
It's hard to kind of see that Basically, it's like

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:54.960
The braces being on there now makes it actually harder. Yeah, so some of the brackets on the bottom are up so high that my top teeth

00:30:55.520 --> 00:30:59.520
Could slice them off If I bit down too hard

00:30:59.520 --> 00:31:03.120
So they didn't tell me that that was going to be part of this

00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.520
System and if they had I probably would have gone with something else

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.080
Because as you guys may or may not have noticed I cannot make s sounds

00:31:12.800 --> 00:31:18.080
and the reason for it is these These bite blocks behind my two front teeth on the top

00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:23.360
That prevent me from biting down so far that it slices off the bottom brackets

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:27.520
There's a gap between them so that I can floss between the teeth

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I can't feel

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.960
Yeah, I was thinking I was like, I think I can make an s sound without closing my mouth, but I understand now

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.960
Yeah, well, it's my tongue I can't

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.240
I can't feel Do you want some uh tissue paper? We could jam in there

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:53.840
I want nothing of your help you mocked me once never mock me again or whatever the princess bride quote is

00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:57.040
I don't I'm okay. I'm fine

00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:02.160
I'm in I'm in I'm in some pain

00:32:02.320 --> 00:32:08.080
I just got them on yesterday morning um So there's like the the torque and I've still had to work

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:14.000
So honestly, the teeth aching has never bothered me that much like I've had orthodontic work done before it's it's not

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.760
That's not the the worst part right now I didn't actually mind my braces that much when I had them the worst part for me has been that I've had to

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:28.080
Work the last couple of days and I literally talked for a living Yeah, and it's taking extra effort to try to enunciate in a way that anyone can actually understand

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:34.800
What the bloody hell it is that I'm saying it really doesn't help that the video I hosted today right before wanshow was on lossless scaling

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:47.600
Someone's god hates me. That's yeah, that's all time rough. I think um

00:32:48.080 --> 00:32:55.120
So it's taken extra effort to enunciate and with the the brand new

00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:02.720
braces on my teeth They're ripping up my gums like like more er when I have to try harder to do things

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.160
And I don't know what it is, but I think these might be sharper

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:11.440
Then like the regular metal brackets. I don't know. Maybe they're not maybe it's just because I'm not like used to them yet

00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:15.600
Last time I got train tracks on I had had like an appliance already in my mouth

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:20.560
So I'd had a wire already so it probably toughened up the inside of my mouth a little bit before I got them on

00:33:20.560 --> 00:33:23.760
So it's it's not really an apples to apples comparison not to mention that it was 20 years ago

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:31.680
Anyway Yes, syrobene is correct. The true cruelty is that the word lisp is spelled with an s

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.720
There's a bunch of stuff like that. Yeah, like asperger. Isn't that like the the fear of long words is a really long word or something?

00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:43.440
Is it really? I think I

00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:50.960
So, um All right. Yeah, the fear of long words is like incredibly long

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.040
nice I can't even say it

00:33:57.040 --> 00:34:01.840
Uh It's it's this

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.200
We can share my screen. No, it's fine. Okay

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:12.960
Hippo, potto, monstress, quipida, alo, aliophobia or something like that's really also known as

00:34:13.680 --> 00:34:21.280
sesquip pedalophobia The name is ironically long making it a bit of a joke for those who experience the phobia

00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.840
Imagine having a fear of long words. I think we've gotten soft as a society

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:40.800
Dyslexic stoner 240 and float playing chat says we are not soft

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:48.800
I was gonna say I think we've gone soft as the the fighty is hilarious

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:56.880
There's no way that that's right ploda ploda says the fear of palindromes is a palindrome. No, I think it is

00:34:57.120 --> 00:35:01.200
Abbey phobia. There's no way It can't be

00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:08.320
Is that real? I think so Fear of palindromes can't be a real thing though. That's probably just a thing a lot of these sewn

00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:14.880
It's a humorous unofficial term that ironically it refers to the fear of words phrases or numbers that read the same backward and forward

00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.320
That's not real We live in a society

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.760
Somebody said say narcissist. I won't

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:29.840
I'll have to later I'll explain later

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:34.720
I find that disrespectful because I stole it from you. I stole your opportunity

00:35:38.160 --> 00:35:40.160
You bastard

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:47.200
Bath turd, sorry, I don't understand. I mean you did a caddy sack and it was you

00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:54.320
Okay, next topic let's get on to our next topic here. What do you want to talk about?

00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:01.040
Are you depressed Just use ai to feel better

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:08.320
Last week Microsoft laid off about 9 000 employees across several departments

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:13.360
With a huge reason for this reduction coming back to the classic

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.600
Ai it seems like whether it's jobs being lost to ai or

00:36:18.080 --> 00:36:23.840
It's um, you know employees managing to work with it more efficiently or them just wanting to make more investments in hardware

00:36:24.160 --> 00:36:29.920
whatever it is CEO Satya Nadella said that about 20 to 30 of the company's code

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:35.840
It's currently being generated by ai and there's no plan to slow down on investing billions into it

00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:41.520
um, and I guess that comes at the cost of some of the humans that work there, which uh is um

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.960
Honestly kind of old news at this point. Yeah, what's new this week

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:54.640
Is that matt turnbull and executive producer an executive producer at xbox game studio publishing stated on linkedin that

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:59.360
While this is a challenging time for many people there is a solution

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.960
Using ai to help get over it

00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:07.200
This is in direct response to people losing their jobs

00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:16.880
He included is a horrifying place we'll get to that including examples in his post of what you could ask an ai like

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.320
I'm struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off

00:37:20.720 --> 00:37:24.720
Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what i'm good at

00:37:26.560 --> 00:37:33.600
He then ended his message with No ai tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:40.480
But at a time when mental energy is scarce these tools can help you get unstuck faster calmer and with more clarity

00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:47.600
There were even more examples of ideas or prompts to give ai tools, but the post was deleted due to how it was received

00:37:48.560 --> 00:37:50.560
Discussion question

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.040
While the time okay, actually, you know first discussion question linkedin as a social media platform

00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:07.040
Like the worst thing in the world i hate it so much i'm gonna go on my linkedin if it was like basically just a

00:38:07.680 --> 00:38:10.560
professional resume platform that you could message people on

00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:16.640
Sure, but honestly the fact that there's public posts at all i find really weird and i often find them to be

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:22.320
So incredibly like corporate self-serving and so incredibly fake

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.360
I just

00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:30.640
I don't Don't like it

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.400
Sammy says linkedin is just people self-glazing and other people approving yourself glaze

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.000
So it's a circle of jerk

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:46.320
A jerk in a circle but every one of the circle is also at least partially wearing suits

00:38:48.560 --> 00:38:51.760
That's got to be a genre probably

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.840
Somebody's into it somebody somewhere

00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:58.880
um

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:03.600
Okay, so that wasn't much of a discussion topic. That's fine. We can move on from that

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.280
While the timing of this post couldn't have been any worse ignoring that

00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.880
Can you see yourself ever turning to an ai chatbot for assistance?

00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.520
Like therapeutic because i i use just chatbots for assistance all the time therapeutic assistance

00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:26.960
No, i don't think so So i'm gonna prevent i'm gonna prevent i'm gonna present a contrarian take here

00:39:27.040 --> 00:39:31.680
I've both my own and someone else's Elijah put in here

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.680
To be honest i have a hundred percent used ai messaging tools to help through temporary tough times

00:39:36.160 --> 00:39:39.440
I don't think they're a replacement for real therapy or whatever the person might actually need

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.680
But if someone can identify that what they're going through is very temporary needs a quick ranting buddy

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:49.040
I could totally see this being a real thing people would do to be clear. There's no endorsement there

00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:52.880
but Seeing that this could be a thing that people would do

00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:56.960
I think is valuable for us to at least have a a broader perspective

00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.000
Even if it's not something that we would do personally i'm not saying you shouldn't

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:08.640
and what i will say Is that that short period of time that i spent on that uh social media platform that was all

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:16.160
ai participants Honestly it felt healthier than regular social media. Oh, I mean that's uh

00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:23.120
That bar is in the core of the earth sure, but it's not low. It has no factor

00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.040
I mean basically there was it was nothing but positive energy

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.320
And social media is nothing but negative energy

00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:38.000
I wouldn't say it's nothing but depends on the category of social media, but it is very problematic energy wise

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:41.440
I think we can we can agree on that arguable to say that even when it's positive

00:40:41.520 --> 00:40:45.440
It's positive in a way that drives you to continue using it which will inevitably push you towards a negative

00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:47.600
You could make that argument

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.840
Anyways, um

00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:55.200
Lime day

00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:03.120
We got a cell sure it's lime day if it's

00:41:04.080 --> 00:41:08.880
Hmm It's slime day

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:12.400
I can't you're saying slime day

00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:19.840
I'm not i'm not aware of what slime day is stop. Is it like a stop nickel?

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:23.760
Try it to be

00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:29.040
Today Lime day occurred

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.320
There you go That worked

00:41:36.640 --> 00:41:44.400
Lime day is our annual sales event where we squeeze our margins to bring you some really sweet deals including

00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:50.400
Our brand new not a hot dog t-shirt that we dropped today

It's available here. I'll switch to the loot cam. It's available. You'll have to turn around a bit more

00:41:56.080 --> 00:42:01.280
It's available for a limited time at a discounted limed day price for just

00:42:02.560 --> 00:42:05.680
1999 on both sites. So that is

00:42:07.200 --> 00:42:09.200
1999 CAD on the global site and

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.040
$20 us on the us site

00:42:13.680 --> 00:42:20.320
Uh, we are also introducing a brand new colorway in olive since y'all sold the sky blue version out so quick

00:42:21.120 --> 00:42:28.080
um Oh arty's writing in the dock. You should probably explain the story. So, um, it's a hot dog

00:42:29.120 --> 00:42:32.960
Right and in the mustard. Well, the front isn't anything

00:42:35.040 --> 00:42:39.760
And he holds a little knife is cute and then on the back the mustard says i'll kill you

00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:46.800
On the super cute hot dog Did you notice that I didn't actually see that part. I really like the shirt. It says i'll kill you

00:42:47.520 --> 00:42:54.240
Oh written on the hot dog. So the reference the reference is I I have pushed for many years to keep our shirts at $20

00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:57.440
So it was only recently with uh tariffs on

00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.960
The ones that going into the us that pushed them like making it impossible for us to keep them at 20 us dollars

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:05.760
Without losing our shirts. Ha ha get it. Um

00:43:06.640 --> 00:43:10.880
Anyway, we're bringing it back no matter the cost and the reference here is

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:17.200
That the cosco founder told the then ceo of the hot dog in the cosco food court

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:23.680
If you change the price Of the hot dog from a dollar 50 for a hot dog and a soda which like today is

00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:27.600
insane insane He said i'll f***ing kill you

00:43:27.600 --> 00:43:35.840
Um And so this shirt it's 20 bucks. It's lime day. It's an i'll kill you hot dog and it's adorable

00:43:36.560 --> 00:43:42.080
I Think it's great. I think it's great too. I think the team did an absolutely

00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:47.040
bang up job of uh of putting together this shirt. I think uh

00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:54.720

Whenever we're alive, you will see a little box pop up to leave a merch message

00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:01.520
We'll go to producer Dan who will reply to it or who will pop it up on the bottom a little something like

00:47:01.680 --> 00:47:07.200
There we go like that or who might even curate it for me and loop to respond to Dan

00:47:07.200 --> 00:47:10.640
Do you want to show the people how a merch message works?

00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.120

You don't you don't technically you don't have to read the message technically Dan has to read the message

00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:47.760
You just have to not repeat it back to them Oh darn

00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:52.240
Looks right. Yeah I mean, no

00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:56.880
That doesn't work. Um Simply I mean

00:47:56.960 --> 00:48:04.000
I think some of the most stressful ones have been the ones where there have been like weather dependent and there's a huge like time crunch

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:10.000
um Like I seem to recall there was one that we had to do

00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:14.240
I mean, you know what sure let's go way back to the beginning when we were still working out of the house

00:48:14.640 --> 00:48:18.080
Do you remember that shoot for a patriot for their like, um

00:48:19.120 --> 00:48:24.320
Man, it was it was it like a battery bank or something like that where we went out in the woods near my house

00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:31.680
And we had to get it done that day But it was raining But then we like sought under enough tree coverage that like it was kind of okay

00:48:32.160 --> 00:48:36.800
But then it wasn't okay because when we got back to the house the camera wouldn't turn on anymore because it got water on it

00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:44.160
And then I had to kind of disassemble the camera partially and then put it next to I used a GPU exhaust

00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.840
That could possibly generate heat and just like tried to dry it out overnight

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:54.880
I thought it was more than just I know the GPU exhaust was no I think I was I think I was running fur mark on like a 480 or something. No, I remember that

00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:00.400
But I thought we also had like other heat generating things just in that. I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know but um too long

00:49:01.040 --> 00:49:08.640
But yeah, I remember that but it dried out and it worked the next day And that camera like got us through the first year and a half of the company carried us for a long time

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.280
Yeah, fs 700. Let's go boys. I mean it was a simple thing get the shoot done

00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.800
But it ended up almost killing our camera. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say that counts

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.280
My example is probably not fair But going on a hike is simple on the surface

00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:28.320
Sir yeah, Highlander was rough

00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:33.280
And we had sponsors for it. So there we did ASUS even came with us

00:49:33.600 --> 00:49:39.120
Yeah, uh, yeah nix at Intel now. I think but he was he was with ASUS at the time. Yeah

00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.960
Okay, we are on to

00:49:44.160 --> 00:49:50.160
Supposed to do a couple merge messages Oh, no, we're not. Do you have another announcement? I don't know how things work, dude. Any either

00:49:50.560 --> 00:49:53.040
Uh, we're technically already out of order. I think

00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:58.560
So I don't know how much it matters. Nice. We could do this flow plane announcement. Sure. Fine. Just do it

00:49:58.640 --> 00:50:01.520
Who is Linus when the cameras are off?

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:08.400
Over the last two weeks, we've released content to show the day-to-day behind the life of Linus Gabriel Thebathden

00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:10.960
Uh, just circle the video

00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:23.920
That was too fun, um, okay

00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:32.240
Hey What are these okay, hold on hold on hold on how does the dynamic of taren and Linus actually work

00:50:32.560 --> 00:50:37.440
Check out the over 40 minute sit-down video with them together and but what about LMG staff?

00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:46.000
Um Do they remember their first reaction with Linus? He some of the staff's first reaction when he was meeting when they were meeting mr. Tech tips and then here

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:52.480
I'll show some of them. So okay. Linus sits down with the LMG ceo. Uh, that's been a pretty uh successful

00:50:53.200 --> 00:50:57.600
exclusive Oh, yeah, okay. No, that was that was recent

00:50:57.600 --> 00:51:01.040
I love how you started off by really giving him the confidence he needs to like

00:51:01.520 --> 00:51:05.920
Show up on camera by telling him that he was terrible on camera and he is still terrible on camera

00:51:06.640 --> 00:51:08.960
Did I that that sounds like a thing?

00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:17.600
Here's Yeah, this this is pretty much it

00:51:18.160 --> 00:51:24.880
Linus reacts to LMG members share their first meeting with Linus. That's was another popular one. I watched that whole thing. That was a banger

00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:28.320
Uh, we have Linus takes a psychopathy quiz

00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:32.960
The first comment, I don't know if it's the talk but the first comment is just yeah

00:51:36.720 --> 00:51:39.680
And finally I spent the day with Linus in taiwan

00:51:41.120 --> 00:51:47.200
Uh, wow, this one's uh, this one's newer. So it doesn't have as many views yet. Still brewing. Yeah. Yeah

00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:55.040
Yeah, good stuff. Um, yeah, that was during confutex. Sammy did like uh, like a day following me around and documenting it for Floatplane. Yeah, yeah

00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.680
Okay, what else are we supposed to talk about? Finally we did

00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:06.800
Never mind. Yeah, I go to LMG.gg slash Floatplane or check out our youtube membership today

00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:14.640
Uh, should we talk about the thing Labs did? Oh, we're apparently also going to be having me take a narcissism quiz. Oh nice

00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:22.080
And we're going to be doing part two of your first interactions including Colton and Yvonne

00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:24.720
Coltons, I know is terrible

00:52:26.640 --> 00:52:29.040
I did not make a great first impression on Colton

00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:36.720
He knows I'm kind of surprised we're even doing that

00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:46.160
I thought that was one of those stories that just Goes out back and dies. I didn't think that was uh

00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.920
Something that would return but but okay

00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:56.960
All right sounds good Put that back on camera again

00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:01.440
Okay, um, what are we what are we supposed to be doing right now? Oh, right the merge messages

00:53:02.720 --> 00:53:09.600
Oh, yeah, there's uh, there's a couple coming in. Sorry, uh, let's see Linus. Could you please say she sells sea sails by the sea shore?

00:53:09.680 --> 00:53:17.840
Seriously with your retainer. That's your merge message. She sells seashells by the seashore. They spent $287. Say the line Bart

00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:31.520
She sells seashell she sells she sells she

00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:44.160
Shut up She sells seashells by the seashore. Oh, nicely done. That was pretty good. I made it

00:53:47.520 --> 00:53:56.080
Good job. Good job. You got there sophisticated. Sebastian serves sublime sushi sideways kidding me. That's another one. Is this a new one? Yes

00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:08.240
They didn't spend enough Ah, I don't think there's technically a line for that. All right, luke. You're doing sophisticated. Sebastian serves sublime sushi sideways

00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:14.880
That was that was pretty good. That was pretty good. That was a little easier to say. I understood every word clearly. All right

00:54:15.680 --> 00:54:20.160
Don't make a habit of setting those in you're not all gonna get curated. All right moving on

00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:26.960
I'm looking at some of the other ones you've curated you bastard

00:54:27.520 --> 00:54:30.160
Those ones you don't have to like you bastard

00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:35.520
All right, what else are we talking about today luke? You want to do one?

00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:43.760
Sure, uh, we can do this Labs one. Uh, we could do maybe both of the Labs ones if you want

00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:51.520
Let's do it. So Labs has an article. Uh, we saw a reddit post on the r slash line is tech tips subreddit

00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:56.160
Uh, that wasn't people talking about creator warehouse and we were curious

00:54:56.160 --> 00:55:00.880
Um, and we conducted some testing and gathered one round of data

00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.400
No concrete results yet since battery testing takes a long time

00:55:04.560 --> 00:55:07.040
But we wanted to kind of give people a bit of a

00:55:07.680 --> 00:55:13.120
A sneak peek into into this because we were called upon can LTT test this claim

00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:16.720
So we were like, yeah, we can look into it. We are going to are you gonna say the claim?

00:55:17.120 --> 00:55:22.160
Yeah, the claim was that uh, showing the seconds in your, uh,

00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:28.720
Taskbar would system tray clock use more. Yeah, you can't see that from here. Can you?

00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:33.600
No, I can't I just wasn't looking at it. When are you gonna get your glasses? No, I can read that just fine. I just wasn't looking at

00:55:34.640 --> 00:55:43.360
Okay But yeah, having seconds there, uh, does that reduce your battery life? So we poked into it. Um, there

00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:48.080
We have the article up now. It's does showing seconds in the system tray actually use more power

00:55:48.560 --> 00:55:54.160
We lay out the claim we talked about how we tested it and we show the results and the results so far

00:55:55.200 --> 00:56:01.920
So far are yes Really by how much so the red bar is seconds hidden the blue bar is seconds displayed

00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:06.880
Uh, and this is the duration of battery life per minute on these three different computers

00:56:07.120 --> 00:56:12.640
We try to get computers that had does this talk about it really much here, but we tried to use like a range of different

00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:22.400
Yes, so we have like Like uh, like an x86 and we have an ARM and we also have like a high performance laptop and more of a like battery life optimized laptop

00:56:22.560 --> 00:56:29.840
Yes, um, and in each case on three tests, um, which and like there's little there's little flags

00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:35.600
Data is not comparable between devices stuff like that. Also, we try to make it pretty clear at the beginning

00:56:35.600 --> 00:56:39.920
Like this is not conclusive. This is like one test per thing. This is not enough

00:56:40.080 --> 00:56:43.200
But we want it to like show as we were working

00:56:44.160 --> 00:56:47.360
So we're going to update this post later as we get more data

00:56:47.680 --> 00:56:54.000
That's super cool. We're also this is just uh, like it says on the chart displaying desktop. That's it

00:56:54.160 --> 00:56:56.640
Yeah, however, how many other little things are like this?

00:56:57.680 --> 00:57:03.520
We are potentially going to look into that We're gonna see if there's enough and if there's enough we'll we'll probably look into it

00:57:03.520 --> 00:57:09.760
But battery testing takes forever and there's actually a very high amount of variance, right?

00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:15.520
So if yeah, all it takes is something like hitting an update server or something and just like

00:57:16.160 --> 00:57:19.680
Oh Windows defender just decided to go ham randomly or whatever

00:57:20.160 --> 00:57:26.800
Like I had to restart this computer when I sat down and the fans were just kicked on like a hundred percent for

00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:31.520
15 minutes. Yep. I have no idea what it was doing, but he's doing something

00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:38.560
AI Who knows so it's it's it's not conclusive yet. So far all the testing has shown

00:57:39.120 --> 00:57:46.160
um That yeah, it does help I know that and it's not in here yet because we want to keep doing more but we have ran

00:57:47.040 --> 00:57:54.080
Lucas was telling me because he's setting this up that we have ran one laptop where we did video playback instead of just showing the desktop

00:57:54.720 --> 00:57:58.720
And it actually did the opposite But it did the opposite

00:57:58.720 --> 00:58:02.480
To a very small degree where it's probably within margin of error, right?

00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:08.480
And if I remember correctly his theory was that just if you're playing a video There's just so much going on that it effectively doesn't really make a difference

00:58:09.040 --> 00:58:15.760
And it's just a margin of error problem But that brings even more of a light onto. Hey battery testing is hard and there's a lot of variance

00:58:16.720 --> 00:58:20.480
When it's not a device that does like exactly one thing at all points in time

00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:31.040
Yeah, so that that was cool. This is cool. I think this is sweet. We want to try to be able to do more of this type of stuff

00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:40.400
Um So thank you for the the the question on reddit and hopefully this is an interesting adder to the conversation

00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:42.560
And we hope to keep updating it more in the future

00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:49.120
This is also a way for us to just like kind of play around and get more experience doing things like battery testing

00:58:49.600 --> 00:58:53.760
um Because battery testing is weird. So

00:58:55.200 --> 00:58:58.880
Yeah, anyways, uh, there's also another thing that I wanted to kind of show off

00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:01.920
This was actually built quite some time ago

00:59:02.560 --> 00:59:05.840
um and then for some reason

00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:11.920
we Didn't expand upon it. I think we didn't have the time at the time or something

00:59:12.560 --> 00:59:18.080
I thought I thought I've literally never seen this. I thought line has killed this. I've never seen it before in my life

00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:22.720
It's very likely I did because we didn't have the time to like actually fully see it through at the time

00:59:23.120 --> 00:59:27.680
But check this out. This is awesome. Dan Siegel made this we were we were trying to play around

00:59:28.160 --> 00:59:32.720
With learning Dan Siegel more like Dan Eagle. Yeah, this is this is really sick

00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:36.960
We were trying to play around with way more op than Siegel. They just steal french fries

00:59:41.600 --> 00:59:45.920
I like told him I was going to show this off and now he's going to open with you making fun of his last name

00:59:46.080 --> 00:59:50.800
I'm not making fun of his last name His last name isn't even the bird

00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:55.440
I know you should know how to spell his name yours manager. Oh my goodness. That's pathetic

01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:05.120
I I bet you like half this company can't say my last name and that's okay

01:00:06.160 --> 01:00:12.080
That's fine. It took me until like grade three to be able to spell it. I don't expect anyone else to figure it out. It's okay. Um

01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:20.480
What was I gonna say? Yeah, so this is this is cool. This is fine You can you can go to the different modes. You can be like I want to see the Noctua and then it like totally changes what it looks like

01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:27.760
I want to see the retro Oh, oh, yeah, okay. Uh, it might be a little bit too on the nose. This was a

01:00:28.560 --> 01:00:34.960
internal thing originally A solid color you can see all the different colors change the background build your own

01:00:36.080 --> 01:00:44.080
And then you can change the Different thingamajigs. There are some problems. You'll see the cap. Nice. Um, but again, this is a tech demo

01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:48.400
So whatever, um, I think I have that combo at home

01:00:49.120 --> 01:00:52.720
Oh the one that I set up literally that exact combo one of my kids made it I think

01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:58.560
Yeah, yeah, um, you can also do this Are you looking are you looking? Oh, yeah, I'm looking see the little orange ball. Yeah

01:00:59.600 --> 01:01:04.160
What? The ratchet is based on megapros long-standing and reliable design

01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:08.880
And then you can go back. That's so cool about this one. There's like

01:01:10.240 --> 01:01:12.240
Our bit storage is in collaboration with mega

01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.600
Yeah, so this came back up into conversation because

01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:24.080
Dan mentioned like hey, you guys have the transparent one now It would be fun to do an experiment like trying to mess around with

01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:26.800
3d transparencies and stuff like that

01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:31.200
So that's super cool. I don't know. I don't know what we would do with it

01:01:33.120 --> 01:01:36.960
Um, but if we could if we could have like a product select. Oh, no

01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:40.960
Well, I didn't why would it

01:01:42.720 --> 01:01:52.720
Whatever Now some of you have looked at that and gone. Oh, well, then it'll definitely be it's definitely going to be like, uh, like, uh

01:01:53.680 --> 01:01:55.920
You're going to do customizable screwdrivers, right?

01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:03.200
And the answer is we've always aspired to it ever since we did that thing at ltx where you could build your own screwdriver

01:02:03.680 --> 01:02:06.720
That was always the goal, but we've never um

01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:12.640
We've never been able to figure out the logistics of stocking all of the individual pieces and

01:02:13.520 --> 01:02:17.840
Being able to guarantee with any kind of certainty that they're not going to be like out of stock all the time

01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:21.920
and also the um, the way that it would slow down orders

01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:28.240
If we had to like put the screwdriver together before we could ship it, especially during high volume times like limeday

01:02:28.720 --> 01:02:32.720
so It's designed with like a build your own

01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:38.400
Because it's a cool internal tech demo, but we haven't figured out the actual like boots on the ground

01:02:39.040 --> 01:02:44.000
logistics of Bringing that to life in a real actual product. So

01:02:44.720 --> 01:02:49.280
for now The versions of the screwdriver we have on the site, those are what we have

01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:55.120
And we do still aspire to do like a customize your own in any color scheme you want

01:02:55.760 --> 01:03:00.320
Project at some point, but it is not currently on any kind of real roadmap

01:03:04.080 --> 01:03:11.120
Yeah, I know I know it'll sell well I can tell you right now though. It will not be the same price as the pre-done ones

01:03:11.920 --> 01:03:17.680
Like we will have to carry so much more stock of just like random not assembled screwdriver bits

01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:22.160
Then we would normally have to do now and the additional touch of like

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.280
Putting them together on our side versus like doing it on mass

01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:31.200
Which is like buckets of parts like having to go like pick

01:03:32.160 --> 01:03:36.240
Each of the individual ones that go together like the logistics of it are kind of a nightmare

01:03:37.040 --> 01:03:42.320
So it would probably be at least another 10 bucks probably more like 15 or 20

01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:47.120
so Make of that what you will that's just the way it is. Sorry

01:03:49.520 --> 01:03:53.760
We also have some semblance of pricing stuff on the beta

01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:01.600
And then I don't remember If this is public or not yet, I don't think so

01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:05.600
So I'm going to go play around with it first and check before I announce it. Oh, yeah

01:04:05.680 --> 01:04:11.120
I mean, I'm what could go wrong You're just gonna you're just gonna share my page again. You're just gonna do that. You're just gonna wait

01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.840
I'm waiting. I'm waiting Let's see

01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:20.480
Ah, yes. Okay. So it's still in the beta branch, but So I can for your screen or no

01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:26.480
You can but it doesn't so so eventually we're gonna have it so that like, you know, you're on the you're on the website

01:04:26.560 --> 01:04:30.880
You go, I want to look at graphics cards. You had a couple graphics cards to your comparison baller

01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:36.320
Sorry, what do you want to look at graphics cards? You must be rich. Oh, yeah fair enough

01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:40.160
Uh, then you go to your comparison pin. You do the veto. Do you need a trigger, baby?

01:04:41.120 --> 01:04:45.120
Yeah Hey, that's a nice dpu

01:04:45.680 --> 01:04:49.760
You want to have some fun? My goodness

01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:53.440
I hear you're uh, you're wealthy enough to do AI inference. We should hang out

01:04:54.160 --> 01:05:02.400
Um, but yeah in this area There will be an edit price button and then you can put in your own price and it'll show some comparisons and stuff

01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:08.400
um Yeah, so that's that's that's coming. I don't know exactly when but it's uh

01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:13.360
It's coming. There's cool stuff going on. Cool. Sorry loop-laster nair. Yeah, thanks

01:05:14.240 --> 01:05:16.240
Um

01:05:19.600 --> 01:05:23.440
I think I've told you this before any anytime anyone's like I can tell they're taking down my information

01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:28.720
I need to give them my my last name. I'll I'll say it and immediately start spelling it out. Oh, yeah

01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:32.640
I have to I don't try to really yeah, no one can spell Sebastian

01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:37.520
They always spell it with an e Oh

01:05:37.520 --> 01:05:42.000
That makes sense. Yeah, so I'll be like line is Sebastian s e b a s t i a n and I like

01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:49.440
And they'll still do it with me sometimes It's like, why did I bother to say these word noises out of my mouth hole?

01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:52.800
Did you ever have your your name wrong on like sports jerseys?

01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:58.560
You assume that I had a sports jersey Not all of us were you know

01:05:58.560 --> 01:06:04.960
Athletes you didn't play anything. I mean not at a high enough level to like needed my name on the back of the jersey

01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:09.760
Oh, I think that's like little kid jerseys just are like a jersey

01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:14.960
Huh

01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:22.160
Our lived experiences are quite different sir. All right, they're right. Have you seen my size?

01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.440
There's sports you could play when you're small. I could be the coxswain. You could have played rugby

01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.920
Uh, yeah, I don't want to get I don't want to get hurt and it was cold outside

01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:38.560
They did actually ask me if I wanted to be on the rugby team when I was in like grade eight or nine

01:06:38.720 --> 01:06:42.000
Yeah, you probably actually would have been great because you're fast and you could have played hooker

01:06:42.240 --> 01:06:48.880
Yeah, which is that's literally I still remember jamie mckinley if you're out there. You're kind of a f***ing asshole, but

01:06:49.680 --> 01:06:52.480
Um, or maybe you're not anymore, but you were when you were a teenager

01:06:52.880 --> 01:06:58.160
Um, but the one nice thing that he ever said to me. I think was he told me I should try out for the rugby team

01:06:58.800 --> 01:07:03.600
And then I didn't and then I think we like barely ever spoke again. Yeah, because he was kind of a rugby guy

01:07:05.040 --> 01:07:07.440
I think you would have actually legitimately been really good at that though

01:07:08.160 --> 01:07:11.760
Yeah, thanks anyways

01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:16.960
Uh, speaking of graphics cards and being a baller the NVIDIA rtx 50 50 is a thing

01:07:17.600 --> 01:07:21.520
NVIDIA has announced the rtx 50 50, but where are the reviews?

01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.320
Well, it turns out NVIDIA just doesn't feel like ceding GPU's to review outlets

01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:32.960
I mean, they're just gonna crap on them anyway. So instead they just quietly launched the card with no review embargo and

01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:41.760
Said coming second half of july It's 250 msrp, which is the same price as the rtx 30 50 that it seems to be replacing

01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:44.960
And I guess that's good because it has almost the exact same specs

01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:49.920
25 60 cuda cores 8 gigs of GDDR 6 not 6x

01:07:51.120 --> 01:07:57.120
A 128 bit memory bus and the biggest difference is the clock speed going from 1.55 base to 2.31

01:07:57.200 --> 01:07:59.200
And of course it's got lots of ai

01:08:06.560 --> 01:08:08.880
And you just have to you found a sound that you can make

01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:17.760
We will of course be publishing results tape to tape tonight and you're gonna be saying shoot

01:08:25.200 --> 01:08:29.520
Sorry, I just said Ah

01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:37.200
You have to be a forward so that's so that you're asking for passes all the time

01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:43.840
All right, sorry keep going. We're not sorry

01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:56.720
Oh man, okay We will be publishing results on LTT Labs once we have a card tested and we will also have a youtube video

01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:01.200
But until then there will be almost no third-party reviews while these cards are up for sale

01:09:01.200 --> 01:09:05.280
Meaning people will not have solid data to assess the value of these cards

01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:11.920
Yeah, so This is pretty crappy

01:09:13.360 --> 01:09:18.160
Our discussion question is do you ever get tired of trying to be a voice for change in this space?

01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:23.920
Since it feels like it's for nothing because absolutely nothing is changing at the end of the day

01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:27.360
I think that there really is I mean I've talked about this so many times in the past

01:09:27.440 --> 01:09:30.640
I think there's this mistaken perception

01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:36.800
For a lot of the viewers because they feel so much connection with the publications and the video creators that they engage with

01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:42.480
There's this perception that we have this like this power in the industry or something like that, but

01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:47.280
At the end of the day you got to understand that a lot of the

01:09:48.240 --> 01:09:51.360
the consequential change that you're observing due to

01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:58.160
You know any video that we might make or one of our fellow creators might make or an article that gets published

01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:02.560
is because of the actual consequences of that

01:10:03.040 --> 01:10:06.720
Thing not because of us saying it if that makes sense

01:10:07.040 --> 01:10:14.480
So if the company ultimately agrees like if a product needs to be recalled due to a safety issue or whatever then that will get some kind of action

01:10:15.040 --> 01:10:19.440
But if the company doesn't agree because they just think oh, sorry what they're saying

01:10:19.440 --> 01:10:23.200
It's like too expensive, but we're making lots of money and we're selling lots of them. So who cares?

01:10:24.160 --> 01:10:28.480
Then they just completely ignore us and that's the way it's always been and the way that it's always going to be

01:10:31.040 --> 01:10:36.880
And so yeah, it Yeah, it does get it does get tiring, but I think the most tiring part is I think

01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:43.680
The weight of the expectation from other people like I remember particularly during the GPU pocalypse

01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:51.840
During covid we took a ton of flak for not taking a stand against the higher pricing and it's like

01:10:53.200 --> 01:10:55.200
I mean we said it's too expensive

01:10:56.400 --> 01:10:59.360
What else can we possibly say nothing more, right?

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:07.840
And you know more recently NVIDIA took yet another step towards general hostility toward their customers and especially the press

01:11:08.320 --> 01:11:11.600
and we refused to review one of their recent cards, but

01:11:12.240 --> 01:11:14.400
You know at the end of the day we can only

01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:24.800
We can only um Hold out for so long because our entire job is making sure that the people who want to know can get educated on the value of these products

01:11:25.360 --> 01:11:29.600
So ultimately we're just going to have to go out and buy one and we're just going to have to make the review anyway

01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:36.880
um And it I don't know man. It just kind of is what it is. There were four trillion dollars

01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:43.520
You know and we're such a tiny segment and I don't mean Linus media group. I mean gaming

01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:48.800
Yeah, they don't even do I don't think they care at all and then the sub

01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:54.640
section Of gamers who actually watch reviews on the cards that they buy enthusiasts

01:11:55.600 --> 01:11:59.040
It's like we're getting small like that's the thing right with the 50 50

01:11:59.120 --> 01:12:02.880
What percentage of people buying that card do you think are shopping for that card?

01:12:03.200 --> 01:12:07.920
Because if you're shopping for that card, you're buying like an arc b580 or whatever like you're an educated consumer

01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:11.280
You're not you're not going out and buying an add-in beef

01:12:12.240 --> 01:12:18.400
Excuse me, um and add an rcx 50 50 if they are if they even do look it up basically at all

01:12:19.200 --> 01:12:22.320
They're probably just going to google it get an ai summary. Yeah move on

01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:27.440
And and they're probably just buying based on the overall brand like oh, yeah, no, I know g-force is good

01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:34.480
I have 250 dollars or realistically 280 or 290 or whatever by the time it actually makes it to a retail shelf

01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:39.440
So i'm going to get the g-force that fits my price point. I think a lot of enthusiasts don't

01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:43.360
Have never worked retail. I have worked retail

01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:48.000
people don't come in with like

01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:50.500
The concept of FPS per dollar

01:12:51.280 --> 01:12:58.480
They come in with how many dollars do I have? And getting the most for it. So in a way, it's like it's like the inverse. It's like

01:12:59.440 --> 01:13:06.400
How many FPS can I get for my dollar as opposed to how many FPS do I want and how many dollars do I need to spend if that makes sense?

01:13:06.400 --> 01:13:12.800
So At the end of the day, they're just going to walk out with the one that they can afford from the brand that they trust

01:13:13.200 --> 01:13:15.600
And NVIDIA's install base is so

01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:19.840
So strong and so deep and the products

01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:27.680
Okay, we can talk about we can talk about FPS per dollar and and we can talk about ai features and all that

01:13:28.880 --> 01:13:33.680
Maybe they're not the best value, you know in this particular game or whatever, but you can't

01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:40.880
Mostly look at the product and go. Oh, yeah, historically people have had such bad experiences with NVIDIA cards

01:13:40.880 --> 01:13:45.360
They're probably desperate to get off They've had some issues with the 50 series launch for sure

01:13:46.240 --> 01:13:50.880
but prior Like if you if you still had a a gtx 1080

01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:57.760
In your rig right now or a 1060 or whatever Would you be going like, oh, yeah, I like hate NVIDIA and I want to use something else? No

01:13:58.400 --> 01:14:03.280
You would only get that per you would only Make that mindset shift if you were like

01:14:04.160 --> 01:14:08.960
Watching the coverage as NVIDIA has enshrified over the generations and like

01:14:09.440 --> 01:14:14.800
Gotten to be less compelling of a value compared to their competitors It's not like the product in your in your computer that to their credit

01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:19.760
They've supported for a very long time with drivers and software. Yeah, absolutely. It's not like

01:14:20.400 --> 01:14:26.000
You hate that So I understand why people just come into the store with their money with their budget for their new GPU

01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:32.880
And they just buy whatever it is and if NVIDIA can sell 30 class silicon for 50 60 class prices these days

01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:35.760
They're gonna do it

01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:41.120
But with more ai so, yeah, it's yeah, it's frustrating. I don't know how to

01:14:41.360 --> 01:14:46.480
Deal with it, you know, we're gonna we're gonna keep doing what we do

01:14:47.440 --> 01:14:53.760
We're gonna keep testing them. Um This was this was linked in full plane chat and I'm pretty sure most people here have seen it, but

01:14:56.160 --> 01:15:03.040
What am I looking at revenue? Oh, yeah, here we go gaming gaming. Wow

01:15:06.480 --> 01:15:11.440
Wow Literally like

01:15:14.080 --> 01:15:22.560
Automotive is making up ground Which was like nothing not that long ago networking is a bigger business for NVIDIA than gaming

01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:24.960
And do you think do you think gaming includes switch?

01:15:26.320 --> 01:15:30.320
Oh Maybe mind you this is fiscal year

01:15:31.040 --> 01:15:36.240
Uh, probably switch wouldn't be here yet. Oh, maybe it would. Yeah, maybe. Oh, yeah, maybe it would

01:15:36.240 --> 01:15:42.400
Oh, wow, that's unfortunate. They would have sold the components for switch two already. That's very unfortunate

01:15:45.200 --> 01:15:49.920
Wow Bring cost rnd

01:15:51.360 --> 01:15:55.760
Huh, huh gaming makes less than the total rnd budget these days

01:15:56.960 --> 01:16:02.960
That's wild. Yeah, it makes less than taxes. That's a well. No not quite but basically the same

01:16:04.080 --> 01:16:09.840
Yeah Just go here 25 72.96

01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:13.840
Or 0.9

01:16:17.520 --> 01:16:23.760
This is wild 72.9 billion billion with a b

01:16:25.440 --> 01:16:27.440
That's wild man

01:16:29.760 --> 01:16:33.120
Staggering yeah, it's pretty nuts

01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:43.520
Pretty nuts Um, I believe cost of revenue is cogs in this case. Um, sorry. Can you bring that back up? Uh, it's going. Okay. Give me a second

01:16:46.400 --> 01:16:52.720
Nice Nice, I didn't know you could do that multiple times. Cool. Very nice. It also does Windows

01:16:53.120 --> 01:16:55.120
So if you close the window, it'll open the whole window

01:16:56.320 --> 01:17:00.560
Yeah, yeah cost of cost of revenue is cogs cost of goods sold. So that's the uh

01:17:01.360 --> 01:17:08.240
That's their that's their gross margins on top of it Of course that's gross margins is not like gross profit is not real profit

01:17:08.320 --> 01:17:12.640
You have operating costs see rnd and you have taxes to pay and everything but like

01:17:14.080 --> 01:17:22.080
Damn, that's some nice net profit numbers This is like after tax and I wouldn't even I wouldn't even consider that like tax is just what you pay for like money

01:17:22.160 --> 01:17:28.560
You made so the actual profit here is 81 and a half billion dollars on 130 billion dollars of revenue

01:17:29.120 --> 01:17:31.120
That is wild

01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:37.200
Wow I can tell you right now

01:17:37.440 --> 01:17:42.160
We ain't doing NVIDIA numbers And like we aren't even

01:17:42.480 --> 01:17:48.000
The profitability is crazy I'm trying to think if we ever did I don't think so

01:17:48.400 --> 01:17:53.120
Even when we didn't have like physical goods even when we were selling purely digital goods and advertising

01:17:53.200 --> 01:18:00.160
I don't think we were ever that high And we were a much much smaller company, of course

01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:04.000
Yes

01:18:07.360 --> 01:18:12.880
Okay, let's talk about our sponsors speaking of making money. Okay, the show is brought to you today by hrefs

01:18:14.080 --> 01:18:21.680
As we step closer and closer To making sky net a reality ai continues to evolve the way we interact with the internet

01:18:22.480 --> 01:18:26.480
So that's what he meant when old mcdonald was saying ai ai oh

01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:31.600
Who wrote this? This is garbage. No, that's amazing

01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:38.720
According to a study conducted by our sponsor hrefs 63 of websites receive ai traffic

01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:43.680
So it's time for your business to evolve with the times and hrefs can help with their brand radar platform

01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:51.520
An ai search visibility tool to track how your brand appears in llm chatbots and currently works with google ai overview chat gpt

01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.680
I think people are gonna pay more attention to it to hear you say it wrong. Oh my god

01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:28.320
Honestly, I think so as well. I was doing my best as a sponsor. You want people to be

01:21:29.280 --> 01:21:34.960
Lasered in on the content, right? I guess so next week we need to make the list for worse

01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:38.720
No, by next week it will be mostly fixed

01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:44.800
I I'm going in on Monday and I'm having them rip these pipe blocks out because I can't do this

01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:50.560
I can't I can't I can't feel are they like cemented in place or what's the oh, yeah, it's gonna be unpleasant

01:21:52.800 --> 01:21:57.760
Yeah I'm I'm a little unhappy right now. Yeah

01:21:58.320 --> 01:22:04.560
I think you have a pretty good reason to be well like to be clear. I'm not mad at anyone other than myself for not sort of

01:22:05.760 --> 01:22:10.720
Um, I thought they didn't tell you at a time Well, no the ortho didn't tell me that they were going to put the bite blocks in

01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:15.280
But I probably should have said something right when I realized what they were doing because I I don't know while you're being

01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:21.680
Okay, so I did tell them That I'm talk for a living and that's a factor

01:22:22.160 --> 01:22:25.920
But I told them that two and a half years ago when I first got a quote

01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:32.160
So like yeah, they didn't remember that because they told me they didn't want to do it until I got my top wisdom teeth out

01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:38.400
Okay And then and then I dragged ass on that and I finally did it and now I came back

01:22:38.400 --> 01:22:43.440
I'm like, okay. I'm ready for braces now and they're like, oh, it's been a while So like re-scanned everything and I probably didn't mention it again

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:57.200
Bite block is this It keeps me from closing my mouth all the way. Do you have those little like rubber circle things? Uh-huh. They're clear

01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:02.480
Should let what should get uh D ran should

01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:08.640
Should pay to get you to put different color combinations in or something. I think clear is a pretty good choice

01:23:11.360 --> 01:23:15.280
I mean the whole reason they're white is to let they're like not that noticeable see

01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:20.080
yeah But it's like pretty funny if they're noticeable

01:23:26.400 --> 01:23:29.440
Oh, yeah, that's a good point. They're just an ad for the transparent screwdriver

01:23:31.120 --> 01:23:33.120
Boom got him. That wasn't even me

01:23:34.400 --> 01:23:38.880
Let's go Next topic. No, see some rich messages. Okay

01:23:40.080 --> 01:23:44.000
And they won't be any more of that Linus. I'm sorry. Hey, I'm sorry

01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:51.280
You're not sorry at all. Look at you. Sorry. That's not the face of a man who's sorry. Look at him. I won't apologize. He can't even pretend

01:23:55.120 --> 01:24:00.000
Hey ldl, I just started my motorcycle course and on my first run of the road. I crashed

01:24:00.480 --> 01:24:03.440
I'm fine. It was my first gear only

01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:10.800
But uh, did you ever crash while riding? So how bad was it? Uh, yeah, I've actually dropped my bro drop my bike

01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:14.800
Um Kind of think have I

01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:20.640
Dropped my bike more than once like I've I've dropped my bike stationary at least once because um

01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:27.200
How does this end up happening to me so often? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? I I am maintenance averse sometimes

01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:30.880
um, and so I've had some times

01:24:31.440 --> 01:24:39.760
I've had a couple of instances Where I've allowed my stupid bike battery to die over the winter because I didn't buy a battery tender

01:24:40.160 --> 01:24:43.360
And I would like forget to charge it up once in a while over the winter

01:24:43.360 --> 01:24:47.440
So I like killed like two motorcycle batteries before I just bought myself a stupid battery tender

01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:50.640
Anyway, long story short. I've had instances where

01:24:51.200 --> 01:24:56.480
Um, my bike was the only vehicle at home and I needed to go somewhere and I had to start it with a dead battery

01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:01.440
And you can do that, but it sucks um, so what you do is you

01:25:02.240 --> 01:25:05.760
Go to a hill and then you um, oh

01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:14.880
Yeah, so you push it And then you hop on it and then you try to get enough speed and then you put it in gear and you pop the clutch and

01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:20.160
Like a standard car like you can you can jump jump start it like that. Um, so

01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:26.400
I had this one time So the problem with that is that on my street where I used to live my street was flat

01:25:27.440 --> 01:25:29.440
And then there was a hill coming from it

01:25:30.640 --> 01:25:34.080
So my best shot to start the bike was on the hill

01:25:35.040 --> 01:25:41.200
But if I didn't get it It was game over because I'd have to come back up the hill and it was quite steep

01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:46.720
So I what I would usually try to do is do a running start on my flat street

01:25:47.200 --> 01:25:50.480
And try to get it and there was this one time I tried like half a dozen times

01:25:51.120 --> 01:25:54.480
Um, and I think I I think like just in the maneuvering of the bike

01:25:54.480 --> 01:26:00.560
I probably like like dropped it a bit But like but like kind of like caught it like got my like hip under it or something like it didn't

01:26:01.200 --> 01:26:05.520
Like it didn't get scratched The time that I broke off my frame slider

01:26:06.320 --> 01:26:09.120
Was on do you know that bridge in like

01:26:10.080 --> 01:26:14.240
Poco That's wooden. Yes. He knows the one

01:26:15.280 --> 01:26:19.040
So this was shortly after my um

01:26:20.320 --> 01:26:25.200
This was shortly after I did my course actually and one of the things that they teach you if you do a riding course

01:26:25.280 --> 01:26:29.840
Or if you you know read about motorcycle riding at all I guess is um

01:26:30.800 --> 01:26:37.280
How to use your brakes because you got your front braking you got your back brake so the front brake has much more braking power because

01:26:38.080 --> 01:26:41.200
You can preload it a little bit which shifts the weight of the bike forward

01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:47.840
and then you can really squeeze and Um, it gets more traction with the road because you've got more weight on it, right?

01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:53.440
However The front brake does come with the drawback that if it locks up

01:26:54.400 --> 01:26:59.280
Um, you have no steering at all and you will just

01:27:00.400 --> 01:27:05.600
Go over So the back brake can be the safer one if you don't want to lose traction

01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:12.000
Anyway, I was like, ah I mean using the front brake can't be like that bad, right?

01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.280
I'm just gonna experiment. So I was actually in traffic

01:27:16.160 --> 01:27:19.680
on that bridge I was going like

01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:26.240
Like eight kilometers an hour like at the speed of like a brisk walk and I was like, well

01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:28.720
What if I just gave it a little squeak?

01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:35.520
Immediately on the ground because it was it was raining. So wooden bridge in the rain

01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:38.560
I was like, I wonder how bad it will

01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:43.840
So, um I didn't hit the car in front of me when I slid

01:27:44.480 --> 01:27:51.280
But the car behind me hit my uh, the tail of my bike, which is why my like license plate holder is broken

01:27:52.240 --> 01:27:57.200
And then my frame slider broke off So nothing dangerous. I was wearing my gear

01:27:57.760 --> 01:28:04.480
I was fine. Everyone was fine I think I had to give the guy a couple bucks to like patch up his fender or something

01:28:04.480 --> 01:28:07.520
He didn't take it through icbc though. So it didn't affect my insurance premiums

01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:13.600
Wait, so you fell off your bike and he hit you and you paid? Oh, it's a hundred percent my fault

01:28:14.240 --> 01:28:17.440
Dude, I stopped for no fucking reason whatsoever

01:28:18.320 --> 01:28:23.120
Yeah, you're still supposed to have a stopping distance. I was like right in front. Yeah, it

01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:28.480
It was my fault. Did he expect you to pay him? No, okay, then that's fine. It was

01:28:29.760 --> 01:28:34.960
I can't respect you being like I'm gonna own this here you go. It was 100 percent. If you were like, bro, you owe me then

01:28:35.280 --> 01:28:37.760
No, it was my fault. Okay. Yeah, sounds good

01:28:38.640 --> 01:28:43.760
um In response to you usa's question

01:28:45.120 --> 01:28:49.760
I have to admit I was not wearing my seatbelt on the motorcycle

01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:54.480
So that was The other time in my life

01:28:54.480 --> 01:28:59.280
That I have been improperly buckled And for that I am sorry, you know

01:29:01.280 --> 01:29:03.280
I think it goes deeper than that

01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:10.640
I think you haven't been buckled many times on your motorcycle. I think you also haven't been buckled. I'll never admit it

01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.600
I think you also haven't been buckled on buses. I'll never admit it

01:29:17.360 --> 01:29:19.360
We're gonna have to deal with this at some point

01:29:20.480 --> 01:29:22.480
But it is not this day

01:29:24.480 --> 01:29:30.000
Dan hit me sure next up Linus each week you close by saying same bad time same bad channel

01:29:30.160 --> 01:29:35.920
Yet every week the show is late and starts at different times. How do you live with the weight of your lies?

01:29:36.480 --> 01:29:38.480
That's why I call it a bad time

01:29:39.840 --> 01:29:44.640
Yeah Because the time is wrong and bad and it's the same every week

01:29:45.440 --> 01:29:47.920
and also just the bad channel bit is like

01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:50.880
Ha ha it's because you know

01:29:52.000 --> 01:30:00.400
I don't know self-deprecation Ha ha same bad time same bad channel like I I told luke for many years. I didn't really understand when show

01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:07.040
Like what the point of it was now? I think so. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but I never used to I used to be like

01:30:07.120 --> 01:30:12.000
It's not really a very good show like we don't we don't really give a detailed synopsis. We

01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:16.880
Like often get things wrong. There's a lot of analysis portion is very questionable

01:30:18.880 --> 01:30:25.280
You know like what's the point of this and I finally figured it out. It's just like hang out bro talk about tech time

01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:28.800
especially because like weekly

01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:33.840
news In the modern era, it just means old. Yeah, it's just old news. Which is not news

01:30:34.400 --> 01:30:40.000
That's we don't even the end doesn't even stand for news anymore light potentially inaccurate analysis of old news

01:30:40.000 --> 01:30:42.880
Yeah, like we retcon we retconned that years ago

01:30:43.520 --> 01:30:49.200
um So like I could never yeah, I could never figure out what the point of wanshow was and I think I think a big part of it

01:30:49.200 --> 01:30:53.120
Was that I didn't have the time in my life to enjoy wanshow?

01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:59.120
So for me wanshow was just work for many many years and then luke and I stopped working together day to day

01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:04.320
And I started really enjoying wanshow because it was the one time a week that I could like hang out and catch up with him

01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:13.440
And then I realized that that was the whole point Was that it's just like the weekly like, you know talk about tech and decompress and just like kind of

01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:18.080
You know kind of chill, right? That's what that's what wanshow is

01:31:18.320 --> 01:31:25.920
I forget what the merch message asked Oh, yeah bad time bad channel, right? So the bad channel was partly poking fun at that. I just like kind of thought wanshow was stupid

01:31:26.800 --> 01:31:28.800
I didn't really get the point of it

01:31:31.200 --> 01:31:35.440
But but I think you know sometimes sometimes look look I I've been doing this many years

01:31:35.440 --> 01:31:40.480
But that doesn't mean that I always a hundred percent get it like we had a long debate during writers meeting today where

01:31:41.440 --> 01:31:44.880
And where like I was going back and forth with one of the writers

01:31:45.280 --> 01:31:50.960
Over whether this concept where we like fish around for parts in the warehouse and just like build computers was

01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:55.520
Had enough of what I call like learning outcomes or if there was or if it was too contrived

01:31:55.920 --> 01:32:03.200
And like, you know, I obviously, you know argued a position in this and I took I I just said I thought it was too contrived

01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:07.440
But that doesn't mean like I'm gonna stop thinking about it after the fact because

01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:11.600
You know the writer thought that they were right still at the end

01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:19.120
We kind of agreed to disagree at the end of the day But like I'll I'll have to keep thinking about it because just because I think something and just because I have all this experience

01:32:19.120 --> 01:32:21.680
Doing this doesn't mean I'm right every time not even close

01:32:22.320 --> 01:32:28.240
so Try anything twice right is uh is kind of the attitude that we have to have about things

01:32:29.200 --> 01:32:33.280
um And in the case of wanshow, I don't know try it

01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:42.640
thousands of times Yeah, and then eventually you'll get it right, you know, yeah, um, and then of course it's a reference right to to like 1960s

01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:48.640
I think it is 1960s batman bat time same bat time same bat channel with adam west

01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:54.000
I think there's another problem when it comes to youtube content, which is like eras

01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:57.440
there's some stuff where you might try it and

01:32:58.640 --> 01:33:03.760
It doesn't do well Um, but then there might be another this is really funny

01:33:04.240 --> 01:33:06.240
I don't do you

01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:21.840
I don't even have anything to say about that

01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:29.200
I want to get like an n95 with that on it. Yeah

01:33:31.040 --> 01:33:35.360
Oh, man That's pretty good

01:33:36.400 --> 01:33:38.400
Yeah, I don't even remember what I was saying who cares

01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:47.040
Oh, man Uh, hey daila love the beard. I'm moving to germany soon. Do you have any tips or advice about moving to another country?

01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:52.960
Having never done it No

01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:57.440
um Good luck have fun

01:33:58.400 --> 01:34:05.040
Be maybe start learning the language. Yeah start doing that ahead of time and commit to actually falling through that

01:34:07.280 --> 01:34:14.240
I mean like look Quebec canada is one of those places where people either say it's great to travel there

01:34:14.640 --> 01:34:21.520
Or they say it like sucks and the people are horrible And as far as I can tell the main difference is whether you bothered to try to speak french or not

01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.000
And I don't even blame them. Oh, yeah, I guess. Okay, so kebek is the closest thing to a different country

01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:30.640
I've ever moved to they think they're a different country. So I moved there for six or seven weeks

01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:34.480
I forget exactly how long it was and in like a french immersion program and

01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:40.080
They're like the nicest people in the entire world

01:34:41.200 --> 01:34:44.800
If you speak french You don't have to speak french well

01:34:44.800 --> 01:34:50.160
You can speak the worst french in the world and especially in a city like montreal that's very bilingual

01:34:50.720 --> 01:34:54.800
You can walk up and be like bonjour

01:34:54.960 --> 01:34:58.240
comment toilet

01:34:58.240 --> 01:35:00.800
And they'll be like it's okay, bro. I speak english

01:35:01.360 --> 01:35:03.840
You'll be like, oh, thank god. Where's the bathroom? But you try right?

01:35:04.480 --> 01:35:11.840
But you you fucking tried and they respect that whereas if you walk up and you're just like, hey, where's your bathroom? They'll be like

01:35:13.280 --> 01:35:16.080
Oh, it's just we taste of les je ne parle pas de l'anglais

01:35:16.480 --> 01:35:18.480
I

01:35:21.360 --> 01:35:25.360
That's just the way it is and and I get it. I get I get it. I understand that

01:35:27.040 --> 01:35:32.480
So, yeah But it's also just like if you're trying to go to that place like yeah, learn their language

01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:36.720
I don't know if you want to be there Learn how to talk like they do it seems cool

01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:43.280
Do the stuff that they do is there is there an activity like drinking beer the same with germany? I don't know

01:35:43.760 --> 01:35:51.200
eating bratwurst I can think of a variety of things for journey for canada. I know it's stereotypical, but like go to a hockey game like do do

01:35:52.960 --> 01:35:54.960
Try out stuff that locals do see how it goes

01:35:56.160 --> 01:36:00.000
Yeah, canadian bacon said engross yourself in the culture. Yeah. Yeah

01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:04.960
Yeah, do that. Yeah All right, let's next

01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:10.880
Oh more topics sure we can do topics I

01:36:14.240 --> 01:36:18.480
What one Let's do grok

01:36:18.560 --> 01:36:28.080
The was giving its heart out to the crowd one After a tuesday fix grok the ai chatbot by elon musk's x ai went on an anti-semitic

01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:34.320
tirade Uh parroting nazi talking points and began referring to itself as mecha hitler

01:36:35.200 --> 01:36:41.760
To be fair the bot did have help from the x community users asked grok to choose between mecha

01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:51.120
Users asked grok to choose between mecha hitler and gigajew and were able to inject extra prompt instructions

01:36:51.440 --> 01:36:54.160
as hidden text with what looks uh with

01:36:54.720 --> 01:37:02.560
Tools like parcel tongue to manipulate the bot's behavior x ai also appeared to temporarily disable grok's ability to respond via text

01:37:02.880 --> 01:37:08.720
And deleted a number of posts elon said the problem was grok being too eager to please

01:37:09.120 --> 01:37:11.760
I am so tired of us personifying these things grok

01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:14.800
It does not want to please anything or anyone

01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:21.520
grok's restrictions were too light. That's what that means grok is a glorified pattern recognition and regurgitation

01:37:23.280 --> 01:37:28.240
Software let's not pretend that it has restrictions on it. Yeah or not. Yeah

01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:31.520
um, well, no it still does they're just

01:37:33.200 --> 01:37:37.440
Yes. Yeah. Anyways, uh in other news the next day, uh

01:37:38.320 --> 01:37:46.480
linda yakarino yakarino linda yakarino announced She is stepping down as ceo of x after two years a successor has not been named at the time of writing

01:37:46.720 --> 01:37:53.680
Also on wednesday grok 4 was released during a live stream, which also unveiled the new 300 per month

01:37:54.240 --> 01:37:57.440
subscription called super grok heavy just because

01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:10.640
They wanted to replace the previous two nicknames. I guess Finally on thursday ai researcher jeremy howard posted a video showing that grok 4 first searches x to get elon musk's views and opinions

01:38:11.440 --> 01:38:14.880
Before considering other sources and presenting an answer

01:38:16.000 --> 01:38:20.880
Wow, I didn't see that Whoa, that's uh

01:38:21.680 --> 01:38:30.560
Really interesting actually Holy the discussion question is how far along do you think we are in the journey to true artificial general intelligence?

01:38:31.520 --> 01:38:38.560
Lol, uh, are we still in the infancy of ai? Yeah, maybe it's a toddler giggling as it repeats all the bad words

01:38:38.880 --> 01:38:40.880
It hears us saying

01:38:43.360 --> 01:38:46.080
Or back to the personification of ai bit, um

01:38:48.560 --> 01:38:53.040
I think we're a lot further than uh people trying to sell ai would like you to think

01:38:53.760 --> 01:39:00.880
Oh, yeah, 100% like a lot further But there's so much money in it now that they can't stop lying about it because it's a it would crash

01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:04.720
It's a very interesting money movement machine right now. Um

01:39:05.920 --> 01:39:09.680
And yeah, if it stops moving the like american economy

01:39:11.360 --> 01:39:16.800
Freaks out I think did linda y ever have a chance as ceo of twitter?

01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:24.400
Like with how outspoken and polarizing her boss is the owner of the platform. What are your metrics?

01:39:25.360 --> 01:39:29.200
I don't know because like you you have you can't control

01:39:30.160 --> 01:39:32.160
What elon does yeah

01:39:33.200 --> 01:39:36.800
Like you can't control him taking his other products from his other platforms

01:39:37.600 --> 01:39:41.920
Just integrating them and then they're like spewing hate speech

01:39:42.800 --> 01:39:50.000
like how do you You can't control advertisers not wanting to deal with the guy and like the boycotts kind of went away

01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:56.800
But I sincerely doubt that a lot of those advertisers that led the platform are not still recognizing how much of it is like bots and garbage

01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:02.640
Oh, it's like i'm sure they're not getting our way on it. I'm sure the advertising is not covering the cost of what they're doing

01:40:03.200 --> 01:40:08.720
There was a lot of There was a very considerable amount of bots and garbage before the takeover

01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:15.200
But it feels like it's never been worse right now I think one of the reasons why it feels that way is the monetization of

01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:21.680
Like views So it's all these like threads and yeah, blah blah blah

01:40:23.680 --> 01:40:27.760
porn bots So it's a really crazy platform right now

01:40:29.280 --> 01:40:31.520
It always really has been but especially right now

01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:39.920
Yeah, I know maxi Okay, I'm trying to find the bit where

01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:48.160
Grock was also um

01:40:48.160 --> 01:40:53.760
like Oh, yeah, okay. No, this is probably too graphic for when sexual harassment thing. Yeah, yeah

01:40:53.760 --> 01:41:01.280
I don't think we could you could bleep all the words I think let's just stay away from that one. But Grock did more than just become a raging anti-sendite

01:41:01.920 --> 01:41:06.320
Yeah Like a lot more. Yeah, like these are pretty

01:41:07.200 --> 01:41:12.560
These are pretty disturbing things that Grock wrote about and there's like way more stuff than that. Yeah

01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:18.480
Like way more stuff than that. You gotta you gotta think how long this was open to

01:41:19.360 --> 01:41:25.440
The users of x and you have to imagine the types of things that run there. I've seen some crazy stuff over the last while

01:41:26.000 --> 01:41:32.880
um, not as most of Most of the news cycle that I've seen is about that the graphic stuff about the ceo

01:41:33.280 --> 01:41:36.640
Um, that's what almost everyone I'm seeing is talking about

01:41:37.040 --> 01:41:41.600
I I hadn't seen this stuff before and there's a ton of other stuff that I have seen before

01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:48.800
Um It was wild but like we've seen this forever. This isn't really new. Yeah, it's kind of the first thing that happens with an ai

01:41:48.880 --> 01:41:55.280
If you train it on twitter Well, if you train on the internet to be completely honest like if you look at um

01:41:56.080 --> 01:42:02.800
A lot of really early versions of this they would do this if you didn't put like right strong bars in front of them

01:42:03.360 --> 01:42:05.360
um

01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:10.000
Yeah, it's almost like people are the problem

01:42:12.720 --> 01:42:15.360
Yeah, it's the people speaking of butt heads

01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:19.760
Thieves have been giving themselves refunds with pos terminals

01:42:20.480 --> 01:42:27.120
Multiple Toronto area small businesses have lost thousands of dollars as thieves have used the business's point of sales terminals

01:42:27.440 --> 01:42:30.880
To issue themselves large refunds. Do you want me to take this one?

01:42:31.600 --> 01:42:38.240
Yeah, my tongue's getting pretty sore. Okay here in Canada It's pretty common for businesses to hand over a pos terminal to the consumer

01:42:38.480 --> 01:42:46.880
It's all right to the customer to complete a transaction To the point where it's really really really weird and like bothers me a lot being in places where they take my card

01:42:47.040 --> 01:42:53.520
Because like that should stay with me. It is I wouldn't even say pretty common. It is always that they'll hand over the pos terminal

01:42:54.000 --> 01:43:00.560
um Between two businesses contacted by a ctv news nearly seven hundred seven thousand dollars

01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:06.400
Was stolen police haven't linked the two cases, but say they there was a wave of similar cases around the city

01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:15.120
Uh, wow interesting in each case the terminals haven't had passwords set for refunds or have used default passwords

01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:23.200
a spokesperson For manaris one of the leading pos providers said in an email when merchants set up their devices

01:43:23.200 --> 01:43:29.440
They're prompted to set administrative passwords on the devices and it is recommended that they also set up user profiles and permissions

01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:35.520
For things such as refunds We also always recommend that businesses treat their payment terminals as they would cash

01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:41.760
Locked away and secure when not in use I can tell you right now that most of the businesses I walk into around here

01:43:41.840 --> 01:43:46.400
Do not have their pos terminal like locked away and kept somewhere safe. It's just like out on the counter

01:43:46.480 --> 01:43:49.120
No, and I can pretty much guarantee that that is not going to happen

01:43:49.520 --> 01:43:54.480
So basically this is just meant to be kind of a psa. Um, if you run a small business

01:43:55.200 --> 01:43:59.840
Make sure you have your administration password set up on your pos terminal and that it's uh

01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:04.000
That you have passwords for giving refunds and all that. We don't want people to get ripped off

01:44:04.160 --> 01:44:07.040
Yeah, the the like user accounts and passwords. I think is is

01:44:07.760 --> 01:44:12.880
Good and reasonable. I don't think people are going to lock these away. That's an insane workflow

01:44:15.360 --> 01:44:18.560
Damaging action speaking of insanely damaging actions

01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:21.520
An appeals court has

01:44:22.640 --> 01:44:25.840
No, I can rest. It's okay. I got this. All right, fine

01:44:26.160 --> 01:44:29.840
An appeals court has blocked the ftc's click to cancel rule

01:44:30.400 --> 01:44:33.040
The ftc's click to cancel rule which would have required

01:44:33.680 --> 01:44:40.480
Subscriptions to be just as easy to cancel as they are to sign up for was struck down by a federal appeals court in the u.s

01:44:41.280 --> 01:44:47.600
The court agreed with telecom and industry groups that the ftc skipped essential rule making procedures

01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:54.960
Including failing to properly consider public comments and depriving stakeholders of a fair opportunity to influence the final outcome

01:44:56.800 --> 01:44:59.520
While the court noted that the rule wasn't created in bad faith

01:44:59.920 --> 01:45:03.200
It found that the ftc's approach was fatally flawed

01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:07.760
citing a rushed process and internal descent among commissioners

01:45:08.480 --> 01:45:11.520
The unanimous opinion stated that the deficiencies

01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:16.560
caused prejudice to the petitioners and justified scrapping the rule in full

01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:21.760
Not just in part In summary

01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:25.120
The ftc is now fully staffed by three republican commissioners

01:45:25.360 --> 01:45:31.520
After the current administration fired the remaining democrats earlier this year a move that violated supreme court precedent

01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:38.640
But hey, who cares about rules anymore With the g.o.p. In control and industry opposition already entrenched the rules future looks

01:45:39.280 --> 01:45:46.320
Dead as a doornail and that's really unfortunate because there's a lot of super predatory stuff that this was poised to

01:45:46.640 --> 01:45:52.560
eliminate like uh gym memberships for instance that you need to go in person to cancel this is just

01:45:53.600 --> 01:46:02.800
blatantly brazenly anti-consumer and pro big business and recurring revenue dark pattern bullshit and

01:46:03.600 --> 01:46:06.160
It's one of those things that I just kind of look at and I go like

01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:09.200
All right single issue voters. Um

01:46:12.320 --> 01:46:17.200
Well Enjoy it way to go

01:46:17.840 --> 01:46:22.640
um I what I wasn't sure why this was in the doc

01:46:23.280 --> 01:46:30.640
But youtube addresses ai content demonetization. This seemed like a bit of a nothing topic to me. Yes, but I thought it was um

01:46:33.040 --> 01:46:39.600
Thought provoking okay, so let's go through the facts of it first and then we'll go from there youtube is addressing a

01:46:40.320 --> 01:46:46.800
Spate spot spate spate a spate of articles inaccurately claiming that upcoming train changes to the

01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:54.160
rip rip Do you want me to do it? I can do it. Sorry. I'm struggling today. Uh to a policy would

01:46:55.440 --> 01:46:59.840
demonetize No, no, I got it. I got it. I got it. YouTube is addressing

01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:02.800
You're just addressing a spate of

01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:09.520
Not specifically or exclusively ai content. Okay. Well, I think we really

01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:14.480
Need to start at the beginning though Sure go for it

01:47:14.480 --> 01:47:17.920
YouTube is addressing a spate of articles that have

01:47:18.640 --> 01:47:26.240
Inaccurately claimed the upcoming changes to the repetitious content policy would demonetize all ai content starting next week

01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:35.600
Spammy content ai assisted or not is the true target of this update not specifically or exclusively ai content

01:47:36.240 --> 01:47:40.960
posts from team youtube and the youtube insider are clarifying that July 15th will bring a

01:47:41.360 --> 01:47:47.200
Minor update to their existing partner program monetization policy is meant to help the platform better identify when content

01:47:48.000 --> 01:47:55.040
Is mass produced or repetitive? Which viewers often consider spamming which was already ineligible for monetization

01:47:56.560 --> 01:47:59.760
So the reason that I wanted to talk about this was that

01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:03.040
Uh, let me see if I can find the thing

01:48:03.840 --> 01:48:05.840
Uh, yes

01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:12.800
Elijah was like, oh god the man who can't speak of the man who can't read or fighting

01:48:17.920 --> 01:48:19.920
It's good stuff. Um

01:48:22.080 --> 01:48:25.600
This just this got flagged for us because of psu circuit

01:48:26.960 --> 01:48:30.960
Oh, I don't think that falls under that. No, it doesn't but that's what I thought

01:48:31.920 --> 01:48:35.200
Would be an interesting conversation sure should

01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:42.080
Something that because because a lot of what people have said about psu circuit and the the ai voice read bit

01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:46.800
um of it Is that hey it seems like spam

01:48:48.400 --> 01:48:51.920
So I guess the conversation that I wanted to have is like

01:48:52.640 --> 01:48:56.240
Where does the line for ai generated content exist?

01:48:56.960 --> 01:49:02.800
If this was what youtube was trying to do If they were demonetizing ai produced content

01:49:03.360 --> 01:49:06.640
Where in your mind is the line because psu circuit

01:49:07.440 --> 01:49:09.840
Is certainly not entirely ai generated

01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:14.320
It uses original testing done by humans

01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:21.600
It uses a template that was not generated by ai that humans worked hard on for its scripts

01:49:22.240 --> 01:49:24.960
What it uses ai for is to actually

01:49:25.680 --> 01:49:31.600
Read it and the reason that we do that is not because we can't pay someone for six minutes to read the script

01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:36.240
Is because the editing is also automated and if we have an ai read it

01:49:36.480 --> 01:49:39.760
Then the timing of the read is extremely consistent and the ai

01:49:40.720 --> 01:49:46.560
And sorry and the the editing script can just plonk all the right things onto the timeline where it can be quickly reviewed by a human

01:49:47.120 --> 01:49:52.560
And the reason we're doing that is that psu circuit is not even meant to make money

01:49:53.360 --> 01:50:00.320
It is purely the article NVIDIA form for people for whom that is the best place for them to discover it

01:50:01.360 --> 01:50:09.360
That's it. Maybe in the future You know, it'll gain some traction and we'll kind of go. Oh, okay. Yeah, maybe we should start doing nice b-roll

01:50:10.080 --> 01:50:13.360
Oh, maybe we should start having a human house. Maybe we do this. Maybe do that

01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:17.920
Or maybe for key releases we could do something like that special occasions, but for now

01:50:18.640 --> 01:50:20.880
It is entirely a money-burning furnace

01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:26.480
Okay, just so we can test power supplies so people can learn about them. That's it. Um

01:50:28.160 --> 01:50:32.160
But would that be too much ai is that is that ai? I

01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:39.440
I'm gonna give you a little bit of a non-answer Because I think what's more kind of interesting to me. Maybe

01:50:40.320 --> 01:50:42.800
Is that I I don't necessarily care too much

01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:49.680
But I think the reason why they won't go after things like psu circuit

01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:52.640
Is because it would be way too hard

01:50:53.920 --> 01:51:00.640
Not because of psu circuit, but because of like everything else. Especially in the short space

01:51:02.160 --> 01:51:05.440
Oh It's like how much ai

01:51:05.440 --> 01:51:12.080
Like voice there isn't it now using ai to like copy and steal other people's content a little bit easier to detect

01:51:12.320 --> 01:51:18.320
I see okay making actually original content that has some layer of ai stuff on it

01:51:18.560 --> 01:51:25.120
One that I've seen that's pretty common is you use Art or references from a thing that you're discussing, but then it's an ai voice

01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:31.280
um Like I remember I was getting a lot of shorts recommended to me for a while there

01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:36.320
Way back when I played the warhammer 40k space marine

01:51:37.120 --> 01:51:44.000
I like looked up a couple things about it And then just my whole everything got taken over with warhammer content

01:51:44.960 --> 01:51:51.200
And like a lot of it just ai spammy stuff and I started getting really interested in that because there was

01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:56.960
for sure real people making videos that was them talking about like

01:51:57.600 --> 01:52:02.800
Warhammer lore stuff, but with just like art of warhammer playing

01:52:03.920 --> 01:52:10.720
And it seemed like I don't know if it was being stolen or what but there was also definitely not real people doing exactly the same thing

01:52:11.120 --> 01:52:15.920
Right different pictures. Maybe maybe I don't know. I didn't look extensively enough to like really compare

01:52:16.320 --> 01:52:23.360
But different pictures and stuff, but it was for sure an ai voice like I would bet my life on it

01:52:23.920 --> 01:52:28.400
um, so it's it's do you think it would be an improvement to the youtube platform

01:52:29.360 --> 01:52:38.640
if every individual person Or corporate entity had to like register who the owner of every channel is and you basically couldn't have one if you don't register

01:52:41.440 --> 01:52:43.440
Was google circles

01:52:44.800 --> 01:52:50.640
Just way ahead of its time. I think it kind of was a little bit. I don't think commenting users should have to

01:52:51.840 --> 01:52:55.520
But uploading interesting

01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:59.120
Blue strike says it could still get bypassed. Yeah, there's a bypass for anything

01:52:59.200 --> 01:53:03.680
But I'm just I'm this is more of a hypothetical conversation because I think generally

01:53:04.560 --> 01:53:07.680
kind of pro-internet freedom people like us have have

01:53:08.080 --> 01:53:14.960
Generally been on the side of like no anonymity and anonymity is our is our god-given right as users of the internet

01:53:15.120 --> 01:53:19.360
I think ultimately I I think it would take away some of the the magic that is youtube

01:53:19.520 --> 01:53:24.400
But like facebook marketplace Was really good for a very short period of time

01:53:25.120 --> 01:53:31.040
Because it was all real verified people doing real verified ish deals

01:53:31.360 --> 01:53:35.120
I think it could because i'm trying to think like you know if a whistleblower comes out

01:53:35.280 --> 01:53:38.320
They might use youtube as a platform to make sure that their message

01:53:38.880 --> 01:53:41.680
Yeah, sure goes far. So like I don't necessarily want to

01:53:42.320 --> 01:53:50.000
Don't want to harm that But maybe there's a hybrid model where like you get a little bit elevated more or something if you go through the verification

01:53:50.080 --> 01:53:54.480
As soon as there's a crack in the armor though The spammers will find a way into it

01:53:55.200 --> 01:53:59.840
Yeah But think about old twitter

01:53:59.920 --> 01:54:02.480
The verified tag actually did matter. That's true

01:54:03.440 --> 01:54:09.840
Like actually it's like so worthless now. Oh, it literally means nothing now. Yeah, it means I want monetization

01:54:10.320 --> 01:54:13.440
I will probably be more spammy than most other people on this platform

01:54:14.160 --> 01:54:17.360
That's what that means to me at this point, but it used to mean something

01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:23.280
It was a very frustrating twitter verified checkmarks used to mean something. They did though. I mean they did

01:54:23.680 --> 01:54:25.840
Do we have any i'm gonna i'm gonna look

01:54:28.320 --> 01:54:31.200
There was one on the back of your laptop for a while, but I think we switched laptops

01:54:33.440 --> 01:54:35.440
Um, and I I hated them and like

01:54:36.480 --> 01:54:42.160
Because I remember there was a there was an there was an account that was impostering me and then being super racist

01:54:42.240 --> 01:54:48.240
Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, I do remember that. Um, and they wouldn't shut it down because they wouldn't verify me

01:54:51.040 --> 01:54:54.880
For like I don't even remember the really is just stupid and then eventually

01:54:56.080 --> 01:55:01.440
Eventually they were open to verifying me and I just said no because I was like salty about it

01:55:01.920 --> 01:55:03.920
um

01:55:05.040 --> 01:55:13.520
So I'm not saying the the system was perfect Considering there was an account that had my profile picture and would auto update to my profile picture if I changed it

01:55:13.520 --> 01:55:16.400
My banner same deal and all of my tweets

01:55:16.960 --> 01:55:22.800
Immediately after I sent them and then also inserted racist ones and I proved all of this and they were like

01:55:23.760 --> 01:55:25.920
Uh, yeah, we can't tell who's the real one. So

01:55:27.120 --> 01:55:30.880
I don't know. We're gonna leave it up Yeah

01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:35.040
You know what's funny is my personal twitter is also not verified because I was just like no

01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:42.400
It's a bigger chad move If like I don't care you're verified because you just like are you

01:55:43.600 --> 01:55:47.600
Boom got him I don't need a checkmark to be verified

01:55:47.840 --> 01:55:51.360
I was like way ahead of the it's not cool to be verified curve

01:55:52.080 --> 01:55:57.600
Yeah, I forget when they offered me verification, but it was like before the takeover and I was like no

01:55:59.360 --> 01:56:02.480
Yeah, I did the same thing and it's just like it's dumb like to be clear

01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:06.640
That's stupid. It doesn't matter at no point in time. Did it matter?

01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:10.880
But I I just liked it, but it was still fun. I liked being not verified. Yeah

01:56:11.920 --> 01:56:17.360
And then I put a little globe there because it was just blue and then uh

01:56:18.240 --> 01:56:24.960
Somebody I don't remember who Said I was some form of political thing because apparently that became a political movement

01:56:25.440 --> 01:56:28.560
And I put the globe there like years before that became a thing

01:56:29.040 --> 01:56:32.800
But then I got bundled in with that. So I mean do that something was like who knows

01:56:33.200 --> 01:56:39.600
Like the the symbolism of what like whoever's doing like like oh, yeah, kate middleton was wearing this color

01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:44.160
Which shows solidarity with the f*** are you talking about? How do you keep track of police things?

01:56:44.400 --> 01:56:51.760
How could you possibly know like what we're celebrating this month and like what color but what this color represents today is like

01:56:52.720 --> 01:56:56.240
I Hold on. Okay. I'm trying. I don't know what

01:56:57.360 --> 01:57:04.880
Red is definitely something Because apple did a red iphone at some point. It's blood and it means that you support

01:57:05.520 --> 01:57:16.080
um This is breast cancer. I think sure. This is the breast cancer screwdriver. Yeah. Oh, yeah communism. There you go. Oh stop

01:57:21.760 --> 01:57:27.760
Port studio. I got that from curious bread. Thank you. Virtuous says that any xbox series s60 FPS game can be

01:57:28.400 --> 01:57:32.720
Easily quoted or quoted easily ported to the switch 2

01:57:33.440 --> 01:57:40.880
They've ported many games over the last couple decades or at least helped including heavy rain horizon zero dawn cyberpunk 2077 and cod modern warfare 3

01:57:40.880 --> 01:57:46.400
You might have heard of some of those And they are aware that the switch 2 is the fastest selling console of all time

01:57:47.200 --> 01:57:53.840
Thanks to the improved hardware and software They're confident that anything running well on an xbox series s will run well on a switch. That's hilarious

01:57:54.080 --> 01:58:02.560
I sincerely doubt That might what microsoft had in mind when they released a less powerful version of this generation console

01:58:03.200 --> 01:58:10.800
To the ire of many game developers who all of a sudden had to build two stupid performance profile targets

01:58:11.120 --> 01:58:14.480
For the lesser selling console this stupid generation

01:58:16.000 --> 01:58:20.240
That they would be just creating a path for

01:58:20.240 --> 01:58:27.280
Relatively quick and easy cross-platform optimization of the xbox series s version over to the switch, which is one that actually sells

01:58:28.080 --> 01:58:30.080
I'm sure that's not what they had in mind

01:58:31.840 --> 01:58:33.840
Uh-oh, oh, sorry. That's me. Okay

01:58:35.840 --> 01:58:37.840
Thank you Dan. That's very helpful. Um

01:58:41.600 --> 01:58:47.280
But I guess my question is how important do you really feel that third party game support is to the switch 2

01:58:48.080 --> 01:58:52.880
Personally, I don't think important almost at all. I mean apparently there might be a deal on the switch though

01:58:52.880 --> 01:58:58.160
It's so many developers ported. Yeah, it might be a user-based thing. I don't know like I just don't get it

01:58:58.160 --> 01:59:02.000
It seems unimportant to me. It is not the reason why I buy the console me neither

01:59:02.640 --> 01:59:07.360
But then I mean I asked my son this too when he ultimately chose to switch too. I was like, okay, look, but if

01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:13.200
If you didn't have a gaming pc Would you have gone with the pc's like yeah?

01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:22.560
so like Wait, no that just proves my point. Yeah, we buy nintendo games to play nintendo games. Yeah, we didn't have

01:59:23.200 --> 01:59:27.600
Something else and we wouldn't buy a switch. Yeah, you'd probably yeah, what would you get first though? It wouldn't be a nintendo

01:59:27.600 --> 01:59:33.600
I don't think If you computer yeah, I know I was reading an article from someone that's like, yeah, I'm not sure if mario super mario cart world

01:59:33.600 --> 01:59:38.640
Is a great game, but I haven't put it down since the switch came out and I'm just like really like you've played nothing

01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:49.120
But mario cart world for the last month I've seen some people say that they've really found the grinding and like yeah, like the new mechanics like really really engaging

01:59:49.120 --> 01:59:56.400
But man, I just I just didn't I don't you know what? I'm genuinely happy for them that they like it. It's just it's not my game

01:59:59.840 --> 02:00:02.480
Oops, oh no, oh no

02:00:05.200 --> 02:00:10.160
Don't forget to monetize my test at least you don't have to laugh with a lisp. Sorry cough with a lisp

02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:12.960
Oh

02:00:14.480 --> 02:00:16.480
Whoops

02:00:18.400 --> 02:00:23.280
Donkey Kong bonanza looks good though, when does it come out soon? I think

02:00:27.360 --> 02:00:29.360
Is 007 only on switch

02:00:31.040 --> 02:00:35.280
I don't know uh game switch too. What's the name of it even?

02:00:36.480 --> 02:00:38.480
Donkey Kong is Thursday, they said

02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:44.560
First light is always called

02:00:47.760 --> 02:00:53.840
Can I help you? I'm trying to figure out if the upcoming 007 game is on not switch

02:00:55.200 --> 02:01:00.800
Okay, well you figure that out. Uh the creator warehouse team has reacted to shift fashion group. Okay

02:01:03.520 --> 02:01:09.280
I'm just gonna fire this up here Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun we uploaded this on LMG clips

02:01:09.280 --> 02:01:13.600
Which is the place to go to check out wan clips as well if you don't feel like sitting through the whole WAN Show

02:01:13.680 --> 02:01:20.640
I don't blame you it is a cool hangout, but it's pretty long Yeah, we needed somewhere to put this it didn't really make a ton of sense on ShortCircuit or LTT so

02:01:21.520 --> 02:01:26.480
Here it is Here it is So you guys can go check that out

02:01:27.520 --> 02:01:34.080
In summary, uh, we agree with Some of it. We don't necessarily agree with all of it and there are

02:01:34.640 --> 02:01:38.480
design constraints around the creation of our products that um

02:01:39.200 --> 02:01:41.600
You know not every brand might deal with and

02:01:42.320 --> 02:01:48.320
Some also do and uh, I thought the original critique video was cool. I also thought this was really cool. It was really cool

02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:52.400
For me to hear some of the reasons especially

02:01:53.200 --> 02:02:00.080
Personally, I found the the cargo pants the reasons around the pockets and stuff was like. Oh, yeah, that's pretty sweet

02:02:00.640 --> 02:02:07.120
um Do we explain that on the site? I'm not sure. Is that something that we would even really want to explain?

02:02:07.440 --> 02:02:14.160
I'm not sure. I think it's a bit much. Yeah Um, I wasn't really sure when I was watching it of like, is this something we should communicate more or not

02:02:14.240 --> 02:02:18.560
I don't expect everybody to agree with our thought process, but what I can say is there's always a thought process

02:02:19.280 --> 02:02:22.720
If that makes sense Yeah

02:02:22.720 --> 02:02:26.000
And sometimes the thought process is I really like cotton poly blends

02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:35.360
Sure, we do have some all cotton shirts coming Yeah, I don't personally find that that the hand feel is particularly better and they will shrink more

02:02:35.920 --> 02:02:40.800
um, so like Sure Some people are into that and that's totally cool

02:02:40.960 --> 02:02:45.760
Some people will only wear an all cotton shirt and I totally respect that we're gonna have small cotton shirts coming

02:02:46.320 --> 02:02:50.480
But it's not my preference Yeah, so yeah

02:02:50.480 --> 02:02:52.480
cool

02:02:53.600 --> 02:02:58.560
Um add an explanation in FAQ. Yeah, I don't know that people are frequently asking that question

02:02:58.640 --> 02:03:02.960
I really I honestly don't think they're either. Anyway, you guys should go check out the response. Um

02:03:04.800 --> 02:03:09.440
Uh belkin Now that's her name. I've not heard in a long time

02:03:10.640 --> 02:03:18.240
Belkin true, right sent out an email alerting customers that it will be ending support for older wemo products effective january 31st 2026

02:03:18.720 --> 02:03:24.080
in reality, this is Most wemo products because support for the wemo app will be discontinued at the same time

02:03:24.880 --> 02:03:34.080
along with all features that require cloud connectivity Wemo products configured for use with apple home kit before january 31st 2026 will continue to function via home kit

02:03:34.560 --> 02:03:37.120
In the absence of the wemo app and wemo cloud services

02:03:37.600 --> 02:03:41.600
This does not impact wemo's thread based products all four of them

02:03:42.080 --> 02:03:44.080
Which will also continue to function through home kit

02:03:45.280 --> 02:03:49.440
Belkin is offering partial refunds for some products if your wemo product will still be under warranty

02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:53.840
On or after january 31st see belkin.com slash wemo for details

02:03:54.160 --> 02:04:00.400
And our discussion question is is it time for stop killing smart hardware?

02:04:02.480 --> 02:04:07.360
To go along with stop killing games And I think the answer is yes

02:04:07.680 --> 02:04:10.960
If you are not going to engineer your product in such a way

02:04:12.240 --> 02:04:16.000
That it will it can continue to work when you pull your support

02:04:16.880 --> 02:04:21.520
That is on you that is not on the customer who bought the product

02:04:22.080 --> 02:04:25.440
Based on the promises that you made about its functionality

02:04:26.320 --> 02:04:29.200
I was actually explaining stop killing video games to my dad

02:04:29.600 --> 02:04:33.120
Who's in town visiting and he was like yeah, I tuned into your

02:04:33.520 --> 02:04:37.440
Wayne show or whatever you call it and I saw you talking about

02:04:37.840 --> 02:04:42.000
Talking about like killing games and took me actually took me a little while to figure out what he was talking about

02:04:42.240 --> 02:04:46.960
He was not super technical, but you know, he's trying to tune in and you know sure. No, it's cool. Yeah

02:04:46.960 --> 02:04:50.800
He's getting the lay of the land. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. I respect it. Yeah. Anyway

02:04:51.200 --> 02:04:58.400
Yeah, he's like so you're talking about Game killing or something and I'm like, okay, hold on a second. Oh, right stop killing games and he kind of goes

02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:03.040
Yeah, it seems like it seems like it's bad, but can you kind of put it in simpler terms for me?

02:05:03.520 --> 02:05:09.040
And you know, if you're not familiar with all the lingo I understand the way that we present stuff sometimes can be a little bit overwhelming

02:05:09.040 --> 02:05:13.920
And so what I came up with for him and that really seemed to kind of land was I was like, okay

02:05:13.920 --> 02:05:17.440
Well, like look at it this way Okay, so the game

02:05:17.440 --> 02:05:20.000
You know when I was a kid, right when you bought a video game

02:05:21.120 --> 02:05:26.240
It was on a cartridge and the whole game was on there And if you wanted to play that game you put it into the machine

02:05:26.240 --> 02:05:31.440
And that was it that we had the game if you own the machine you own the cartridge You own the game it serves forever. You can use it any way you want

02:05:32.080 --> 02:05:37.120
And he kind of goes. Yeah, okay. And I go, okay. Well, that's not really how things work anymore

02:05:37.280 --> 02:05:42.880
Now when you buy a game Some of the features or in some cases all of the features of that game

02:05:43.440 --> 02:05:48.000
Rely on the maker of that game to have like their server

02:05:48.640 --> 02:05:51.680
interacting with your game machine in order for them to run

02:05:52.480 --> 02:05:58.080
And so you're basically at the mercy of them to keep that running forever. Now we can't tell them, okay

02:05:58.320 --> 02:06:03.360
Well, you just have to run your server forever. I mean, how long is reasonable a year 10 years 100 years a thousand

02:06:03.360 --> 02:06:07.360
You can't tell a company to run a server for a thousand years. That doesn't make any sense, right?

02:06:08.480 --> 02:06:12.000
So I understand that maybe those those functions

02:06:12.560 --> 02:06:17.280
Um might not work forever But what's clear is that we have a problem then

02:06:17.760 --> 02:06:22.960
Because imagine if this was anything else that you bought. So I was like, okay, your pants, right?

02:06:23.680 --> 02:06:26.080
They come with they come with pockets with zippers

02:06:27.120 --> 02:06:31.040
Okay And then all of a sudden I the manufacturer of your pants go, okay

02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:35.600
Those pants you've been using them for five years you bought them because you really like pockets with zippers

02:06:36.240 --> 02:06:40.480
You're still gonna have the pockets, but they don't have zippers anymore. Well, that's

02:06:41.120 --> 02:06:44.320
That's f***ed up And he's like, oh, yeah

02:06:44.320 --> 02:06:46.720
Yeah, that's that's pretty f***ed up. That's uh

02:06:48.320 --> 02:06:53.760
That's not very good And it's like that's the problem here because I'm not actually

02:06:54.800 --> 02:07:01.520
I'm not trying to drive companies out of business I'm not trying to say like hey video game makers. Hey smart hardware makers

02:07:02.080 --> 02:07:06.640
You should just you should just be legally obligated to support everything forever

02:07:07.120 --> 02:07:10.960
Until you just collapse under the weight of your of your legacy product stack

02:07:11.040 --> 02:07:15.760
It's also a little bit of a difficult argument because like in your exact example about the zippers thing

02:07:16.560 --> 02:07:19.200
Like if we look at Floatplane if Floatplane has a feature

02:07:20.080 --> 02:07:23.440
But we think that it should work in a slightly different way or

02:07:24.080 --> 02:07:28.240
That's this is a feature of a pocket. You haven't removed the pocket

02:07:28.640 --> 02:07:32.880
You're just changing the way that you access and secure the pocket. Maybe it has a button now. Yeah

02:07:34.160 --> 02:07:38.000
So like it's it's tough and like we have to be able to change things

02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:41.520
You can't you can't be in a situation where it you release a

02:07:42.240 --> 02:07:46.160
Website or a service and it has to say in the exact same state. It always is that's

02:07:46.800 --> 02:07:52.640
Obviously stupid. So like the the line gets a little bit funky because as we talked about looking at like an mmo

02:07:53.440 --> 02:07:59.280
Patches versus expansions. Yep. And even things like back to smart hardware now like my sonos speakers

02:08:00.080 --> 02:08:03.120
I invested heavily in the sonos ecosystem

02:08:03.680 --> 02:08:07.440
Because I loved the integration with google play music

02:08:08.480 --> 02:08:13.840
It was the best. I've never seen anything before or since that has been as seamless as that

02:08:14.800 --> 02:08:19.200
I could literally be listening to music in my car or on my earphones

02:08:19.680 --> 02:08:25.920
And I could just pull up my phone Press the cast button like google is like like chrome cast cast button

02:08:26.400 --> 02:08:29.280
And then I'd just go this speaker this speaker this speaker

02:08:30.160 --> 02:08:35.360
Go and it would just Start streaming to my sonos speakers and then sonos and google went at it

02:08:36.080 --> 02:08:43.520
And now the products You can still use them together you go in the sonos app and then you go to your google

02:08:44.320 --> 02:08:50.240
Stupid youtube music thing and then you go to your search and then you find a thing and like your guess your playlist is in there

02:08:50.320 --> 02:08:55.360
But it just it just it sucks It just sucks and I just want them to fix it

02:08:57.760 --> 02:09:01.600
Yeah But that's not something that I could I can't say like hey

02:09:02.400 --> 02:09:06.000
You know it doesn't work exactly the way that I used to like it. Therefore. I want to refund

02:09:06.480 --> 02:09:10.000
I don't think that's reasonable either because I can stream my youtube music

02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:14.000
Over my sonos. We've had people do that with float playing and we've just approved it

02:09:15.200 --> 02:09:17.840
Approved what whatever they're like. Hey, you guys

02:09:18.480 --> 02:09:25.520
We've literally had someone complain about the new general user experience design that we did with the sidebar changing and stuff

02:09:25.600 --> 02:09:28.800
Oh really they're like I hate this a lot and we were like well

02:09:28.800 --> 02:09:33.520
Okay, they're like I want my money back and it was like okay

02:09:34.240 --> 02:09:38.720
Oh, all right. See you Well, okay, we're not trying to trap people

02:09:38.880 --> 02:09:42.560
But like that's different we're subscription service. No for sure. It makes it a lot easier

02:09:42.800 --> 02:09:45.840
Like if I wanted to cancel my last month of you know youtube music

02:09:45.840 --> 02:09:49.200
I think that's one thing but I but in the case of hardware, it's not that simple

02:09:49.360 --> 02:09:54.560
Yeah, but this this is like it can be a whole ecosystem. This is this is where the the conversation gets

02:09:55.360 --> 02:10:03.920
pretty Deep because there's so many different types of sites and services and apps and products and

02:10:04.960 --> 02:10:07.200
I think just forcing them to go open source then

02:10:09.200 --> 02:10:12.560
If you won't support it, what's the what's the line?

02:10:13.040 --> 02:10:16.880
Because if you won't support what is like a really important part of this conversation

02:10:17.040 --> 02:10:22.880
If I play a video game that has guns in it and my gun gets nerfed and it sucks talking now

02:10:23.280 --> 02:10:26.960
And I know but like let's say they're like oh this gun's overpowered

02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:31.280
Let's lower the damage stat and the handling stat because you loved playing with that gun

02:10:31.440 --> 02:10:38.960
Yeah And I'm like well you need to support a game with multiplayer for the the patch that has my gun being good is like

02:10:39.520 --> 02:10:47.520
bro Yeah, it's impossible. Yeah, so like and but then that's like at what point in time are we ship of thesia seeing this thing

02:10:47.840 --> 02:10:51.920
Like if all these mmo's that are releasing expansions that completely convert the entire game

02:10:52.080 --> 02:10:59.280
Just doesn't call them expansions anymore and calls them patches because a lot of people a lot of these companies don't even charge for the expansions anymore. So like

02:11:01.120 --> 02:11:06.800
Like it's you we know Thoroughly that places will detect what the rules are and work around them

02:11:06.880 --> 02:11:11.200
I think with physical products it does get a little bit simpler and I so knows one is super muddy

02:11:11.600 --> 02:11:15.840
But in the case of like Belkin and wemo here. I think this one's pretty clear

02:11:16.560 --> 02:11:20.880
But in terms of like exactly where the line is no, you're right. It's very difficult to say really tough

02:11:21.040 --> 02:11:24.640
And it's going to end up probably being different in every different jurisdiction like

02:11:25.280 --> 02:11:30.240
It's going to get messy man. It's gonna get messy if you don't want to support the servers anymore offer them to the players. Yeah, sure

02:11:31.840 --> 02:11:35.040
But that's that's not what I was talking about right they are still supporting the servers

02:11:35.280 --> 02:11:41.840
They're just supporting the servers for a patched version of the game It's his hype is a different hypothetical. We kind of moved pretty fast through them there. We did. Yeah

02:11:43.120 --> 02:11:46.560
Anyway, you can act now to keep demini out of your third party apps

02:11:46.960 --> 02:11:53.120
Source ours technica starting monday july 7th google implemented changes enabling its gemini ai engine to interact with third party apps

02:11:53.120 --> 02:11:57.760
Like whatsapp even when users previously configured their settings to block such interactions

02:11:58.400 --> 02:12:02.320
google recently sent out an email informing users of the change framing it as a positive move

02:12:02.560 --> 02:12:08.960
That will make it easier for gemini to access phone messages What's happened utilities regardless of whether your gemini apps activity is on or off

02:12:09.520 --> 02:12:13.600
A notification page linked in the email states that human reviewers

02:12:13.600 --> 02:12:18.800
Including service providers read annotate and process the data that gemini accesses

02:12:19.520 --> 02:12:25.200
yikes The email provides no useful guidance for preventing the changes from taking effect

02:12:25.520 --> 02:12:32.080
The email said users can block the apps that gemini interacts with but even in those cases data is stored for 72 hours

02:12:32.720 --> 02:12:38.800
Okay, so last week We took a little bit of light flak for saying that apple being hypocritical

02:12:39.280 --> 02:12:46.720
Is really really bad and not also calling out just how google um is like really really bad in those ways

02:12:47.040 --> 02:12:55.680
He's just honest about it Um, so here we go. Here's where we talk about google being pretty fucked up right now and there's not being okay

02:12:57.440 --> 02:13:01.680
This is way worse than apple sending an ad for some stupid movie that they bankrolled

02:13:01.840 --> 02:13:07.680
Sorry, I might be misinterpreting this but the email said users can block the apps that gemini interacts with but even

02:13:08.160 --> 02:13:13.360
In those cases data is stored for 72 hours. So that's not true. You can't block the apps

02:13:14.720 --> 02:13:18.320
I'm not sure 100 what they mean. I'm not sure what that means. I wouldn't overthink it right now

02:13:18.480 --> 02:13:21.200
Okay, because I want to block this now

02:13:24.400 --> 02:13:27.760
This sucks. This is wild

02:13:31.600 --> 02:13:35.920
I hope they get if this is true to the words that are in the doc

02:13:36.000 --> 02:13:38.640
I hope they get crushed in court for this. This is insane

02:13:39.280 --> 02:13:45.520
Let me uh, let me make sure we get you guys an update on this next week. I'm just going to flag this at uh

02:13:49.520 --> 02:13:56.320
Uh, okay, here we go Can we keep abreast of this situation and keep

02:13:56.880 --> 02:14:03.440
Providing when show viewers with updates. This is crazy. Okay. I have assigned. I have assigned

02:14:03.600 --> 02:14:07.920
Yeah, I want to see how this develops because I think I think we're like we're pretty early on this right now

02:14:08.000 --> 02:14:13.680
Yeah, so There could be details that we've gotten all quite right and maybe google will back down on this

02:14:14.400 --> 02:14:16.400
Let's hope that both of those things are

02:14:17.840 --> 02:14:19.840
True. Yes true

02:14:21.600 --> 02:14:31.120
Finally Twitter co-founder jack dorsi posted on twitter saying that his weekend project to learn about bluetooth mesh networks and related technology is

02:14:31.120 --> 02:14:35.360
BitChat a decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app that works entirely over bluetooth

02:14:36.400 --> 02:14:42.400
While the tagline is secure mesh chat a notice in the github read me warns that the app is a work in progress and that private messages

02:14:42.400 --> 02:14:46.000
And channel features have not received an external security review and may contain vulnerabilities

02:14:47.040 --> 02:14:50.720
The uh disclaimers were apparently added after researcher alex radosia

02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:55.840
Demonstrated a man in the middle attack that would allow an imposter to impersonate the user through bit chat's favorite system

02:14:57.520 --> 02:15:00.560
Cool anyway, it's uh

02:15:01.120 --> 02:15:06.960
It's an offline chat network that's limited to a uh a very small geographic area with simple functions

02:15:07.360 --> 02:15:13.200
This thing's kind of cool. It's like uh, it reminds me of I already have these that don't that don't use bluetooth. They just use other stuff

02:15:13.280 --> 02:15:18.320
Was it a carrier or something that used to have like a walkie-talkie feature? Was that a phone manufacturer? Was it Motorola?

02:15:18.640 --> 02:15:23.200
I think that was phone. Do you know damn? I can't remember it was a thing though

02:15:25.600 --> 02:15:30.240
I think it was a phone because if you were like sitting on the same plane together you could like chat with each other

02:15:31.680 --> 02:15:37.840
It apparently was Motorola next tell no kia. Okay, apparently there were a few folks that had done stuff like that

02:15:38.400 --> 02:15:41.200
Um, so yeah, look at that. We reinvented that

02:15:42.400 --> 02:15:47.440
Yeah, and there's like Good job jack dorsi. There's definitely stuff for this

02:15:47.520 --> 02:15:51.840
That's like actually really good and you can set up your own static networks for it and stuff

02:15:51.840 --> 02:15:54.080
Yeah, firepanda says it's basically briar then

02:15:55.040 --> 02:16:05.360
Yeah, there's like a lot of Good job, though. I hope blue skies going well. Yeah. See ya. All right, then time for after dark. Let's go

02:16:15.120 --> 02:16:18.160
Enter to after dark my tongue is so sore

02:16:19.120 --> 02:16:24.480
Because like didn't even let me do topics for you the bite block. I could have saved you the bite block's not smooth

02:16:25.040 --> 02:16:33.840
It's textured So every time my tongue brushes against it. Why it's like quite uncomfortable and so my tongue is raw

02:16:35.440 --> 02:16:39.840
Was it textured because your teeth keep impacting it? No. Oh, it's just textured

02:16:45.760 --> 02:16:49.040
Charged nuclei in chat, uh, said what I was thinking

02:16:51.840 --> 02:16:56.720
Definitely not All right, man

02:16:56.720 --> 02:17:06.800
Yeah, I'm not repeating that Question for duke and dinos. What was your scariest scrapyard wars encounter? Definitely finding the crack pipe

02:17:08.160 --> 02:17:13.520
Oh, man, I'm trying to think was it was it over budget or what or no no my scariest

02:17:14.640 --> 02:17:22.160
um My scariest scrapyard wars was definitely when we killed our motherboard right before testing when we did the one with bob and rod

02:17:22.880 --> 02:17:28.160
And we never really proper showed how the fix worked. That was wild. It like wasn't in the episode by the way

02:17:28.880 --> 02:17:34.640
That motherboard. Oh, that's right. You have it. That's hilarious So we had to like jump her off the fan header to something or something

02:17:35.280 --> 02:17:38.160
I don't even I still don't actually understand why it worked

02:17:40.400 --> 02:17:46.320
I was stunned. Yeah It was actually crazy because like the board like like made fire

02:17:46.560 --> 02:17:51.760
Yeah, and then I like plugged that header into like another header and then it like worked or something

02:17:52.160 --> 02:17:57.360
Which I don't even really know how you thought of I I mean it was a time of desperation luke

02:17:57.520 --> 02:18:00.480
Yeah, and then it worked for like a decade

02:18:03.280 --> 02:18:06.640
Amazing I I don't know. I don't know if I had uh

02:18:07.600 --> 02:18:12.400
I mean, there's a lot of scary moments in regards to if we were going to have something or not

02:18:16.720 --> 02:18:24.160
But like I don't think I ever really had You know terrible interactions with people that were selling me things or anything like that. I think it's been fine

02:18:25.520 --> 02:18:32.640
Yeah Hey Linus what got you into badminton and any tips for anyone who wants to pick it up as a hobby

02:18:32.960 --> 02:18:39.440
Thanks a million for this killer limeday and the keyboard bonus will make the girlfriend happy colon capital D

02:18:39.680 --> 02:18:43.200
Heck yeah, nice. Um couple things. I enjoyed it in high school

02:18:43.440 --> 02:18:50.320
Like I just found it fun And then I never played again until I met Yvonne and her parents had some badminton equipment and like

02:18:50.720 --> 02:18:55.680
There was a group that included her parents friends that played at like the gym of a local church

02:18:55.760 --> 02:19:01.040
And so we started going there and playing and some of the older players were kind of nice and took us under their wing and

02:19:01.440 --> 02:19:03.440
sort of showed us some of the basics and

02:19:04.560 --> 02:19:09.360
Kind of the rest was history. I think it's a really complete sport is the way that I describe it. Um

02:19:10.320 --> 02:19:15.440
It works out your whole body You're dominant side a little bit more than you're not dominant side because like it's a racquet sport

02:19:15.520 --> 02:19:19.280
And you know, it's what it is, but we've been discovering that with little man. Yep. Um

02:19:19.920 --> 02:19:25.120
So it so it works out your whole body And to really excel at it you need speed stamina

02:19:26.960 --> 02:19:29.600
Reflexes strength bit of flexibility

02:19:30.640 --> 02:19:36.000
Yeah, flexibility, um brains like you there's strategy very deep strategy. Um

02:19:36.960 --> 02:19:41.920
Yeah, it's just it's a it's a fantastic sport. I love it good with plyometrics too

02:19:42.560 --> 02:19:48.400
It's good with fat professional movements. Um great sport. Yeah, basically the entire time you're doing it

02:19:48.400 --> 02:19:51.120
You're doing hit which is pretty cool. Um

02:19:52.320 --> 02:19:55.760
Yeah, it's great. Um any tips for people who want to pick it up as a hobby?

02:19:56.400 --> 02:20:00.800
Find a friend group basically every single time and it doesn't

02:20:01.600 --> 02:20:05.120
There's no room to be shy. I used to be too shy to ask people to play

02:20:06.800 --> 02:20:15.280
If you want a network, you can't be shy So you just have to go to places where people are playing whether it's community centers, um or like finding online groups

02:20:15.360 --> 02:20:19.120
This is something that I had to go through twice in my life once to build my group locally

02:20:19.520 --> 02:20:24.480
And then again to build a group of players in taiwan because I go there once a year and I play badminton when I go

02:20:24.960 --> 02:20:27.680
Um, so you gotta you just have to go put yourself out there

02:20:29.040 --> 02:20:31.360
If you see someone who's kind of at your level, you know

02:20:32.160 --> 02:20:35.040
Don't impose on the really strong players if you're still a beginner

02:20:35.440 --> 02:20:39.520
Like they might be nice and play with you, but you're really like messing up their groove

02:20:40.000 --> 02:20:45.680
Um, if there's a huge skill disparity, so try and find people who are like kind of close to the same level and then

02:20:47.120 --> 02:20:49.920
Get contact info try to create a regular group

02:20:50.240 --> 02:20:55.840
Go to the same place play at the same time every week So you can make it part of your routine because anything that you don't make part of your routine

02:20:56.400 --> 02:20:58.640
Is not going to help you. It's so easy

02:20:59.520 --> 02:21:04.720
To bail on a fitness program But when you have a group that will help hold you accountable

02:21:05.360 --> 02:21:09.840
It becomes so much easier and it becomes so much more enjoyable and rewarding as you guys build each other up

02:21:10.080 --> 02:21:13.920
And make each other into stronger players over time. So that would be the biggest thing is

02:21:14.640 --> 02:21:18.160
Build your rolodex. You got to do it because otherwise it's just not going to last

02:21:20.640 --> 02:21:24.240
Kyle asks how long do we have this resident of Linux for?

02:21:25.680 --> 02:21:29.120
um This bad until monday morning

02:21:29.840 --> 02:21:33.680
I called the ortho. I said, look, I need these by blocks out. I can't talk and I talk for a living

02:21:34.160 --> 02:21:40.880
um As for the train tracks, I think it's probably going to be about a year. I think the top's not too bad, but the bottom's pretty rough

02:21:43.280 --> 02:21:48.160
Question for mr. Tech Tips Y'all did a collab with delta hub for the LTT edition cap

02:21:48.320 --> 02:21:54.400
Re capio Carpio 2.0 Why not carry it on y'all store as well as theirs?

02:21:54.640 --> 02:22:00.080
Oh, it's a good question. If I had to guess I'd say it just comes down to the margin structure like they're a direct-to-consumer brand, so

02:22:01.040 --> 02:22:06.480
um Them I assume they paid us money for the co-branding opportunity

02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:09.200
So then if they also had to sell us the product

02:22:10.080 --> 02:22:18.240
At a reduced rate from retail Then they'd be giving us a disproportionate amount of the margin on the product would be my best guess, but I'm completely guessing though

02:22:19.120 --> 02:22:21.120
um

02:22:24.720 --> 02:22:28.080
First whan show message long time Floatplane member

02:22:28.640 --> 02:22:34.320
What was your first reach out to sponsor like when you first started youtube videos ncix LTT?

02:22:34.400 --> 02:22:38.800
Was it difficult or awkward? Yeah super awkward um

02:22:38.800 --> 02:22:40.800
That first ces was wild man

02:22:42.320 --> 02:22:47.760
Like I was desperately trying to get any meeting that I could people didn't really understand youtube sponsorship

02:22:48.320 --> 02:22:51.360
It was all like traditional written advertising at that time

02:22:52.880 --> 02:23:00.720
um Whether it was the right thing to do or not I heavily leveraged the contacts that I had made at ncix to try to

02:23:09.120 --> 02:23:12.640
Somebody told me Dan did that I didn't know press yours. Yeah

02:23:15.840 --> 02:23:20.080
I thought you guys noticed I noticed his I hadn't seen mine yet

02:23:20.240 --> 02:23:29.120
I Sorry, I had no clue. I wasn't trying to derail you. I just wanted to test it because I didn't even believe it at first

02:23:29.840 --> 02:23:32.640
It turns out it was true. Sorry about that. Keep going

02:23:34.880 --> 02:23:36.880
Anyway

02:23:37.920 --> 02:23:42.640
As a buyer, um, you know, I I had contacts at various tech companies

02:23:42.960 --> 02:23:50.960
But they were like in sales not marketing So I tried to kind of again it comes down to networking. I tried to build my network and just kind of

02:23:51.760 --> 02:23:55.120
Lay out like why you should sponsor us and um

02:23:55.840 --> 02:23:58.720
Like I think our first product was just those quick like pre-rolls

02:23:59.600 --> 02:24:03.440
Or what was it? No, our no our first product was just sponsoring our trip to ces at all

02:24:03.440 --> 02:24:09.360
We wouldn't have even been able to go. I didn't have that kind of money um, and so I think it was uh Corsair

02:24:10.320 --> 02:24:15.680
C gate and links is I want to say so that basically just came down to like my buddy

02:24:16.960 --> 02:24:22.640
Oh, yeah, that was weird Anyhow, can't tell that all sorry. Yeah. No, I don't think that would be best. Um

02:24:23.520 --> 02:24:26.960
But yeah, those were the main ones and what those companies all have in common

02:24:26.960 --> 02:24:35.120
Which is hilarious is like one guy brad hutchinson has worked at all of them at some point or another shout out shout out brad

02:24:35.840 --> 02:24:43.200
um Because like breaking down the barriers of bureaucracy to get someone to do something that's out of the normal is hard

02:24:43.600 --> 02:24:47.360
it's really easy for someone in marketing to just like

02:24:48.640 --> 02:24:51.120
Renew their quarterly spend with the people they already work with

02:24:51.760 --> 02:24:54.320
It's really hard to shift that bucket around

02:24:54.800 --> 02:24:58.480
Especially to something that has kpis that are measured in a completely different way

02:24:58.880 --> 02:25:03.520
And where you have to like say no one else is really doing and we have to say oh, sorry

02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:07.680
To you know, a long time partner that you've been supporting, right?

02:25:08.000 --> 02:25:12.480
Like it comes back to the whole uh, you know Intel thing for a long time or was it IBM?

02:25:12.720 --> 02:25:17.280
No one ever got fired for buying something. Who is that again? I forget was it IBM? Yeah

02:25:18.000 --> 02:25:21.840
Or it was either IBM or Intel. It's easy to do the safe thing. I think it was IBM. Yeah

02:25:22.480 --> 02:25:26.000
um IBM says charge nuclei and chat. Yeah, exactly. So like

02:25:27.040 --> 02:25:31.280
No one ever got fired for just continuing to do the ad buy that they always did that

02:25:32.160 --> 02:25:40.320
Was I guess effective enough or something? Whereas when you make a radical change. Yeah, you can get in trouble for that. So yeah, no people stuck their neck out for me

02:25:41.360 --> 02:25:48.080
I appreciate that Dear elves when you play tower fall. Do you ever play the co-op mode?

02:25:48.240 --> 02:25:53.680
You've mentioned playing tower fall a few times. So if you haven't tried co-op. Oh, glad this black pack isn't all black

02:25:53.920 --> 02:25:58.160
Yeah, I haven't I haven't actually tried co-op. I've only ever tried versus it

02:25:58.160 --> 02:26:02.640
In fact, I thought it was one of those games like uh, like nidhog where it just like doesn't even

02:26:03.120 --> 02:26:09.120
Yeah, I had no idea the co-op mode. Maybe it's new. I just looked it up. But uh, is it like a campaign or something or like what?

02:26:09.360 --> 02:26:13.200
I have no idea four-player co-op gameplay

02:26:15.760 --> 02:26:18.880
What am I looking at you like take out baddies or what?

02:26:21.760 --> 02:26:28.400
Uh, huh Looks like 2v2. Oh, it's by four-player co-op. They probably mean 2v2

02:26:30.320 --> 02:26:33.520
No This isn't co-op. What the hell

02:26:34.160 --> 02:26:37.200
Okay, well fine. Sure. Well, we'll figure it out

02:26:38.480 --> 02:26:41.360
What's not what co-op is supposed to mean?

02:26:42.720 --> 02:26:44.880
No one or two player co-op quest mode

02:26:45.840 --> 02:26:47.840
tower fall ascension

02:26:51.680 --> 02:26:59.760
Okay Nido and they say specifically a brand new one or two player co-op quest mode. I'm down

02:27:00.720 --> 02:27:04.800
Sweet. We'll have to try that sometime when we're not playing tape to tape. That's gonna be tough

02:27:05.600 --> 02:27:09.760
That'll be pretty tough right now next bike painting. I guess. Oh, I heard from the devs. Um

02:27:12.160 --> 02:27:20.080
Hold on. Let me just make sure I don't get this wrong So I complained about the interface issues with um multiple players and they were like, yeah

02:27:20.560 --> 02:27:23.360
We've never really tried more than 2v2. So that makes sense

02:27:24.800 --> 02:27:28.880
um and then um

02:27:28.880 --> 02:27:32.880
They said that it's going to be a little while before they can get that fixed probably um

02:27:33.760 --> 02:27:37.760
Oh, I don't want to commit them to anything. I'm not committing them to anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we can work around

02:27:37.840 --> 02:27:40.880
It'll be a little while but not that long. Cool. Yeah, sounds good

02:27:41.120 --> 02:27:46.000
And then I was telling them the keyboard requirement sucks. So they're gonna look into that as well

02:27:46.960 --> 02:27:53.760
Uh, we tried 5v5 for the first time ever in tape to tape, which is this uh roguelite hockey game that we've been playing

02:27:54.320 --> 02:28:00.960
um I might as well just bring it up on screen. So this is what it looks like basically it's like a

02:28:01.840 --> 02:28:04.000
like a hard fighting hard farting

02:28:04.880 --> 02:28:10.560
uh top down style hockey game like you played back in the 90s, but with no rules and um

02:28:11.520 --> 02:28:15.040
A lot of hits and drawing sticks and all kinds of wild stuff

02:28:15.520 --> 02:28:19.600
Uh ton of fun in its current form. It's still very early access and there's still

02:28:20.320 --> 02:28:22.880
There's a it's got a it's got a long way to go

02:28:23.680 --> 02:28:26.400
Especially with how ambitious they're being about the game

02:28:27.200 --> 02:28:30.720
But uh, yeah, I look at at this point. They literally could have just

02:28:31.600 --> 02:28:35.200
Done a few small polishing touches to what they originally had

02:28:35.840 --> 02:28:39.920
Fully released the game as tape to tape one and then just made tape to tape two

02:28:40.000 --> 02:28:46.240
And I don't think literally anyone would have bad an eye because it is so incredibly transformative what they're doing like

02:28:47.520 --> 02:28:56.560
What a wild Yeah Sure, it's been fun to be part of the journey regardless of what form it ends up being released in um, absolutely awesome

02:28:57.360 --> 02:29:00.720
Basically people are asking what did they change and what they changed is that this whole

02:29:01.440 --> 02:29:05.120
campaign system where you like

02:29:05.280 --> 02:29:08.960
Are a hockey player and you're this is old. Yeah

02:29:09.680 --> 02:29:18.960
Where you're a hockey player and you're like Taking hockey back from the big bad golfers or whatever this whole like campaign seems to be dead in the latest versions of early access

02:29:19.040 --> 02:29:24.720
Which like I actually really liked Yeah, yeah, and I'm not saying the new one's like worse. I don't think it is

02:29:24.720 --> 02:29:29.200
I think it's I think it's gonna be better once they fine-tune everything. It seems like they're

02:29:30.000 --> 02:29:35.200
Overall headed in a cool direction Yeah, but but this was also really good and could have easily been tape to tape one

02:29:36.240 --> 02:29:39.920
I agree with you to the point where it's it's like so substantially different that I think

02:29:40.480 --> 02:29:43.600
Similar to sieve. I would have had fun playing both. Yeah

02:29:44.240 --> 02:29:50.640
Yeah, yeah, we might have done like a tape to tape run this day and let's let's try the og version whatever the next day. Yeah

02:29:51.200 --> 02:29:55.680
anyway Earlier this week our softball night got rained out

02:29:56.160 --> 02:30:00.800
And so um, I recruited a handful of people from softball night the handful of people from elsewhere

02:30:01.120 --> 02:30:08.160
And we did The first ever in the world including by the developers. They've never actually tried it five v five

02:30:08.880 --> 02:30:11.760
Human teams so 10 player tape to tape

02:30:12.400 --> 02:30:19.760
Dude It was awesome. Oh cool. Elijah actually streamed it. There's a vod somewhere. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice

02:30:20.640 --> 02:30:26.480
Dude It was it was awesome. There's a lot of issues like the um, all right

02:30:26.720 --> 02:30:32.640
The sports teams are really poorly balanced. They're like way too fast and they're like way overpowered. They're all like ovr 90

02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:37.600
Which is oh, wow, which I mean I already feel even with the not too powerful teams

02:30:37.680 --> 02:30:43.360
The the rink is a little bit small that I find the the game is best like midway through. Yeah

02:30:44.080 --> 02:30:50.240
Agreed. Um, so there there's definitely issues one player has to play with a keyboard. We managed to find this like

02:30:50.960 --> 02:30:54.240
Joystick to keyboard like controller to keyboard mapping thing

02:30:54.560 --> 02:30:59.680
But we found all kinds of issues with just the identity of that controller not being recognized properly

02:30:59.680 --> 02:31:03.200
I mean you got 10 controllers connected to the system, which is already kind of an edge case

02:31:03.600 --> 02:31:08.240
um So it didn't really work. So Elijah went back to playing with a controller

02:31:08.640 --> 02:31:11.120
um, yeah, the menu slash selecting was bad

02:31:11.920 --> 02:31:15.760
but we like kind of We kind of figured it out. It was an absolute

02:31:16.240 --> 02:31:19.680
Blast so I I kind of wanted to try and get it going again after when so today

02:31:19.680 --> 02:31:28.240
But I don't know if we're going to be able to recruit enough people We'll certainly try. Um, the dev said though that a 3v3 is apparently the kind of the sweet spot that they found for versus anyway

02:31:28.720 --> 02:31:32.160
Um, and it's definitely worth it worth playing. It's pretty fun. Um

02:31:32.960 --> 02:31:35.760
What else did they say? Oh, yeah, I told them that um

02:31:36.320 --> 02:31:42.560
IMO checking needs to get a little easier But they could counter by making this dagger for the check or a little longer

02:31:43.120 --> 02:31:45.920
So that it kind of punishes you for checking too much it

02:31:46.480 --> 02:31:52.880
I definitely prefer the old system. I don't know. I also understand that the old system was kind of like

02:31:53.440 --> 02:31:57.600
Really op? Yeah, so there's got to be a downside to just throwing the body all the time

02:31:57.920 --> 02:32:01.920
Like I could even see them having a risk of injury checking someone else

02:32:01.920 --> 02:32:05.440
Like when you play a super physical game like you're an alex of etchkin or something like that

02:32:05.520 --> 02:32:08.160
There's a reason that players like Eric Lindross

02:32:08.640 --> 02:32:11.120
Um run into a lot of injuries in their careers

02:32:11.760 --> 02:32:16.880
Although Lindross was a bit of a special case, but just those super physical power forward type players

02:32:16.880 --> 02:32:21.120
They do tend to get injured sometimes when they are throwing the body against someone else

02:32:21.600 --> 02:32:25.920
Um, I should probably also give that feed. Oh, no, I think I already gave the feedback that injuries need to be short though

02:32:26.000 --> 02:32:30.960
Yeah, I was gonna say it's right now or wait. I think they're working on that and they're too long

02:32:31.040 --> 02:32:36.560
They're working on that. I think the impact should be low Um, but yeah, there's a there's a they're working on a lot of tweaks to the formula right now

02:32:36.560 --> 02:32:40.480
They're they're working hard. This is the first game apparently, which I think is crazy excellent rectangle

02:32:40.640 --> 02:32:48.240
Incredibly good for a first game like I'm kind of mind-bogglingly good for a first game. Um, I think the bench also needs some work

02:32:49.600 --> 02:32:55.440
There's like, yeah, they they they're cooking. They had a complete game. I know I know

02:32:57.200 --> 02:32:59.520
They're cooking put them cook. Yeah. All right. What else is going on?

02:33:00.720 --> 02:33:06.800
What is the logistics of this? Did you all find a spare parts box in the back of the shelf from the ltx?

02:33:06.960 --> 02:33:14.160
They're talking about the the mixing matches I think it's a combination of that because we do still have a bunch of like random mismatch bits left over

02:33:14.640 --> 02:33:20.320
Um, and also I think we shot some new parts so that we'd have enough inventory. Um, don't quote me on that

02:33:20.400 --> 02:33:26.800
but that's my understanding of how the mystery screwdriver came to be another element of it is that

02:33:27.680 --> 02:33:33.840
Um, discounting is a bit of a double-edged sword on the one hand You make the people who buy it with the discount extremely happy on the other hand

02:33:33.920 --> 02:33:36.800
You make the people who bought everything at full price extremely unhappy

02:33:37.120 --> 02:33:41.200
If you create a different product with a different value proposition in this case

02:33:41.760 --> 02:33:48.800
It's a product where you get a random color Then you're far less likely to upset someone who bought it for $69.99 a week ago

02:33:49.280 --> 02:33:52.880
If you have this available for $49.99 because at least they got the color that they intended

02:33:52.880 --> 02:33:57.520
So it's always a balancing act. Um, but I think it's a combination of those factors

02:33:58.240 --> 02:34:07.360
It's Hello, luke Linus and Dan Linus. I'm a father to be what are some movies tv's games that you couldn't wait to share with the kids

02:34:08.560 --> 02:34:14.000
Oh Man, I'll say this the ones that you kind of hoped that they would enjoy

02:34:16.320 --> 02:34:18.320
Put your expectations aside, um

02:34:20.240 --> 02:34:26.000
I'm just trying to think like The stuff that you enjoyed as a kid is probably not going to resonate with them like

02:34:26.560 --> 02:34:29.920
I really wanted my kids to like Final Fantasy 6

02:34:30.960 --> 02:34:36.640
But the ones that they actually Picked up on like my son played through crosscode because he saw me doing it

02:34:37.360 --> 02:34:44.480
Um, and if I'm being honest like it's a way better game than Final Fantasy 6 because it's way more fast paced and

02:34:44.960 --> 02:34:51.360
the characterization is Fewer characters, but is really good really really strong like it's almost like art

02:34:52.000 --> 02:34:54.000
A lot of the time does improve over time

02:34:56.400 --> 02:34:59.760
Yeah, so I'd say maybe

02:35:00.720 --> 02:35:04.960
Don't worry too much about it and find new things that you guys can enjoy at the same time

02:35:04.960 --> 02:35:09.760
I think those are the ones that have gone the best You know what's pretty cool though

02:35:09.760 --> 02:35:16.880
My son finally likes to play catch Oh, I wanted someone to just throw the ball around with for so long

02:35:18.000 --> 02:35:25.920
And this is even more exciting My daughters are into it because they've seen him do it and they've come to like work softball nights and stuff

02:35:26.080 --> 02:35:32.560
That's cool. They want to play catch. They can't really throw hard enough to get like a satisfying like game like just like like

02:35:34.080 --> 02:35:37.120
Throw and catch, you know the thing going sure he can he can

02:35:37.680 --> 02:35:41.280
He can even put a bit of a curve on it now. It's just fun. Nice. That's cool. Yeah, so um

02:35:41.920 --> 02:35:47.920
So that that's very satisfying for me. It's just like it's it's a weird like sensory thing, but there's like

02:35:49.440 --> 02:35:57.120
There's just something about Like a like a hardball. I don't really I don't really love throwing the softball as much as I love throwing the hardball

02:35:57.280 --> 02:36:00.720
um Like a hardball get landing right in the pocket

02:36:01.280 --> 02:36:06.160
like Oh, baseball is like one of the very few sports. I didn't play when I was a kid

02:36:06.800 --> 02:36:11.680
and I at zero points in time ever thought I would be interested in being a quarterback

02:36:12.800 --> 02:36:16.560
Never really into throwing so I don't know

02:36:16.560 --> 02:36:21.040
Feels good It's like I used to do these things called sports days in the summers

02:36:21.120 --> 02:36:24.720
Or we just go out to the field with a bunch of random like sports equipment and just do stuff

02:36:25.040 --> 02:36:28.640
Yeah, yeah, and we'd end up, you know throwing footballs back and forth or whatever doing that

02:36:28.720 --> 02:36:32.720
It's fine. It's a good like I want to be outdoors and do a thing activity

02:36:33.200 --> 02:36:41.680
I don't find catching the football nearly as satisfying There's something about the sound of the ball and the leather and just like ah, it's good. Yeah, it's good

02:36:42.240 --> 02:36:48.240
Hey Wham game. DLL question for Linus. What pool control panel did you have installed?

02:36:48.240 --> 02:36:51.360
And have you played around with any of the wi-fi features if any?

02:36:52.000 --> 02:36:57.200
I wouldn't recommend whatever I have. I don't know if it's because of them or if it's because of our

02:36:58.080 --> 02:37:05.040
unskilled installer Maybe maybe this is an opportunity for you know, someone to reach out to our to our public-facing emails

02:37:05.120 --> 02:37:11.040
If you happen to work for jandy and you want to fix my at some point. It's still a cluster. So

02:37:12.160 --> 02:37:16.480
Totally open to that I think our autofill on the hot tub still doesn't work

02:37:16.960 --> 02:37:21.600
So we just have to like go with the hose periodically and just like make sure that the pump isn't sucking air

02:37:21.680 --> 02:37:24.480
Which is kind of stupid in the year 2025. I think

02:37:27.280 --> 02:37:35.600
First world problem, obviously, but like Yeah, like topping up water like my toilet can top up water. Are you like fucking kidding me right now?

02:37:35.600 --> 02:37:44.000
Like what are we talking about? Did you have a second company come in and do a good job? Yeah, remember what happened? They did a bad job, too

02:37:44.640 --> 02:37:47.920
Okay, because I was gonna ask for a recommend. Nope. Great

02:37:50.160 --> 02:37:59.600
Great, hey Uh, will there be more lime day deals tomorrow and sunday? Will the current deals just persist as it is until monday?

02:37:59.840 --> 02:38:04.800
I actually don't know. I know that throughout last nick. I know that throughout lime day

02:38:05.360 --> 02:38:11.520
We did plan to add deal drops. I just don't know if this is the last one. Um, stay tuned

02:38:12.240 --> 02:38:17.040
Is lime day Yeah

02:38:17.600 --> 02:38:25.520
Why are AMD drivers still trash recently bought a new rx 7600 on a deal here in portugal and AMD catalyst keeps crashing

02:38:25.760 --> 02:38:32.400
Only resolved when installed the basic driver. That doesn't sound right. I literally drive AMD right now and it's mostly fine

02:38:32.480 --> 02:38:37.120
I was gonna say I've heard they've been pretty good for quite a while. Um, you may have a defective card

02:38:37.600 --> 02:38:43.360
you should definitely You should also definitely ddu and or even reformat

02:38:44.000 --> 02:38:50.960
Before you conclude that you have defective hardware But if your drivers are crashing and only resolved with a basic driver like the included Windows driver

02:38:51.280 --> 02:38:54.320
You may have bad hardware. You could have a bad power supply as well

02:38:54.720 --> 02:39:04.800
I Dlo auto mechanic here boss is floating the idea of using meta glasses for videos of the courtesy checks

02:39:05.200 --> 02:39:08.160
Any good arguments against it? Honestly, that sounds kind of smart

02:39:10.000 --> 02:39:12.000
Um

02:39:13.520 --> 02:39:19.840
Yeah, it sounds kind of smart like, um There's been so many times in my life when I wish I just like kind of logged what I was doing

02:39:20.160 --> 02:39:23.280
Like while working on like like fixing something

02:39:23.840 --> 02:39:27.840
Because like sometimes you'll just you'll like have something happen. You'll be like, oh, oh, oh, man

02:39:28.640 --> 02:39:35.440
Okay, how do it can I replicate this? No Where it's like if you're like just logging a check that you're doing on a customer's car

02:39:36.160 --> 02:39:40.320
Man, that's it's such a great tool for like showing them. Okay. Yeah, like here's where we found the problem

02:39:40.960 --> 02:39:46.560
Um I don't know. I kind of logging is fantastic in like the server and hosting world

02:39:47.280 --> 02:39:51.440
However, your boss is also basically installing a surveillance

02:39:52.480 --> 02:39:59.440
tool on you Oh, right. So any language you use or whatever like they can easily take that video file

02:40:00.000 --> 02:40:04.080
Throw it into like a what's recording an audio too. I would assume so

02:40:05.120 --> 02:40:08.800
Uh If you I would I would argue that it's a privacy

02:40:09.440 --> 02:40:16.080
Concern to record audio Like I know in some places they can't you can't so if it can just record video

02:40:16.160 --> 02:40:23.920
I think I'd be into it if it can record audio I would I would probably put my foot down if I were you that's I think where I'm at on where I'm at on it

02:40:25.600 --> 02:40:31.920
Why is the dock only available on the us site? I actually don't know that. Um, not a clue

02:40:32.480 --> 02:40:35.280
It could be down to because remember that's not our product

02:40:35.520 --> 02:40:39.040
So we don't determine like which markets it can or can't be sold into

02:40:39.440 --> 02:40:43.680
So that's a that's a Corsair product. Um, if I had to guess

02:40:44.320 --> 02:40:48.240
I'd say it has to do with a combination of either Corsair said that it's

02:40:48.720 --> 02:40:52.080
Intended for a specific market which could be done to warranty support or whatever else

02:40:52.640 --> 02:40:58.880
That could be a possibility another possibility could be that they are all at our us distribution hug

02:41:00.080 --> 02:41:03.840
What? Um, we're really working hard on getting

02:41:04.480 --> 02:41:09.600
faster shipping times around the world and one of the first steps that we've taken is having a

02:41:10.160 --> 02:41:13.280
Hub for some products in the u.s. Including that one

02:41:19.280 --> 02:41:22.640
Another guess would be that we don't have many of them. So maybe we went for

02:41:23.440 --> 02:41:26.960
Some of those at one gc and some of and and the other product at the other dc

02:41:27.360 --> 02:41:33.680
dc is distribution center not just to Columbia Um, those would be my three guesses, but I don't actually know the answer

02:41:33.920 --> 02:41:40.240
I Question for Luke. I saw you're going to open sauce. So cool. That's not a question

02:41:40.640 --> 02:41:46.480
What are you planning to talk about or show over there sending love from argentina? I think it's leisure

02:41:47.200 --> 02:41:51.840
Is it work? I don't think it's work. Is it's for sure work. Let's work about it sauce plus

02:41:54.320 --> 02:42:01.520
I don't buy it I'll keep tabs on him. I'm not getting paid over the weekend if that helps you

02:42:02.080 --> 02:42:06.560
Are you getting paid for wanshow from sauce plus your salary just f*** anyway

02:42:08.080 --> 02:42:11.680
Sauce plus check it out. Yeah scare the coyote season one. Yeah

02:42:13.520 --> 02:42:18.400
And other stuff and also building a real Gundam day four this guy's such a mad lab

02:42:21.600 --> 02:42:26.400
Yeah, those episodes you're getting them one day ahead on sauce plus. I believe is the terms

02:42:26.560 --> 02:42:30.000
Um, but yeah, I'm I'm going down there. I'm hosting

02:42:30.560 --> 02:42:33.680
Three different panels. I don't remember what they're all about. Oh

02:42:34.320 --> 02:42:40.880
Free virtual free does virtual ticket to open sauce 2025. Yeah just 550 per month build yearly

02:42:41.600 --> 02:42:49.600
Yeah shows ad-free viewing support creators directly sauce plus by the way, it's also powered by Floatplane. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty cool, right?

02:42:49.840 --> 02:42:54.240
Yeah, check it out. Yeah, william osman. Yeah sauce. Yeah

02:42:55.040 --> 02:43:00.400
Uh, the the one panel that I remember the topic of is during industry day

02:43:00.480 --> 02:43:04.960
So I don't think it's open to everybody, but it's if youtube disappeared tomorrow. What would happen to your business?

02:43:06.240 --> 02:43:13.920
That's why you need to like should be fun I thought is uh, I don't think I don't know if they actually really planned the fact that I do

02:43:14.320 --> 02:43:18.000
Floatplane and sauce plus for me being on the panel, but I was like, this is going to be great

02:43:20.160 --> 02:43:22.160
I am

02:43:24.400 --> 02:43:28.160
Sounds good. Yeah, so yeah, it'll be good. It's good last year. It'll be good this year

02:43:29.840 --> 02:43:35.920
Luke Uh, I teach high school programming and I'm going to teach the kids vibe coding bite me

02:43:36.800 --> 02:43:39.680
We actually have a video coming up on this that I'm very excited about

02:43:40.320 --> 02:43:44.720
I need a ladder system that I want to be elo based for badminton

02:43:45.360 --> 02:43:49.040
now I could just hire someone to make that for me

02:43:49.840 --> 02:43:56.720
But that would be a lot of work I could tell luke to give me one of his developers to do it for me

02:43:57.200 --> 02:43:59.760
But that would be crazy because they have better things to do

02:44:00.480 --> 02:44:02.960
So I came up with what I think is a brilliant idea

02:44:05.040 --> 02:44:10.800
You can't justify creating this elo system for my badminton club because it's you know, not making money yet

02:44:10.880 --> 02:44:15.280
And also, you know, we have other things to do that are more important. So I get that I get that I understand that

02:44:15.600 --> 02:44:19.360
But what if I needed a developer For a video for a video

02:44:19.360 --> 02:44:24.560
So I came up with a video And it's going to be me versus a real developer

02:44:25.600 --> 02:44:29.600
We're going to let me we're going to sick me on trying to vibe code

02:44:30.560 --> 02:44:36.080
An elo based like ranking system so that you can like input people's scores and it will like

02:44:36.480 --> 02:44:39.120
Adjust their elo rating and blah blah blah whatever

02:44:39.760 --> 02:44:42.240
I've really given a ton of thought to how this is going to work

02:44:42.800 --> 02:44:46.240
Um, and then we're going to pit me against a real developer

02:44:47.040 --> 02:44:52.880
With the expected outcome, right? Obviously, we're not going to we're not going to we're not going to like fake the results, right?

02:44:53.040 --> 02:45:00.800
But we do have a hypothesis With the expected outcome that being a real programmer is probably going to be better

02:45:01.680 --> 02:45:05.200
But that vibe coding will get me a lot further than I would get if you just like

02:45:06.080 --> 02:45:10.960
Stuck me in a in a development environment. Yeah, could you explain vibe coding for the folks at home?

02:45:11.680 --> 02:45:17.360
Uh vibe coding is asking AI to code for you. There you go

02:45:18.640 --> 02:45:24.800
So line is vibe coding Who has literally never written a functioning line of coding in his life

02:45:25.360 --> 02:45:28.000
Versus a real programmer with all the tools that they have

02:45:28.400 --> 02:45:34.080
Including the ability to use AI if they want to and there's there's effective applications like, um

02:45:34.720 --> 02:45:40.480
Emma built this tool for her old workplace. Um, that was really helpful and it was based on google sheets

02:45:40.640 --> 02:45:48.480
and she Vibe coded with an AI to make it actually happen and it's way better than what they had before so like

02:45:49.520 --> 02:45:56.320
I may be able to build something functional But part of the payoff for the video is going to be to have our real developer

02:45:57.280 --> 02:45:59.840
poke and prod at my thing and be like, um

02:46:00.560 --> 02:46:06.320
Okay, well, we've got a bug here. We've got um an edge case that you haven't accounted for here

02:46:06.400 --> 02:46:12.160
We've got a security flaw. Oh my god Like i'm expecting it to not be very good. We'll see but we'll see no idea

02:46:12.240 --> 02:46:15.120
I mean, maybe it'll be good enough and maybe that will be an interesting outcome too

02:46:16.240 --> 02:46:23.600
Either way What I really want out of it is the real product from the real developer and i'm just gonna pretend to vibe code it as best

02:46:23.680 --> 02:46:28.560
I can well i'm gonna i'm literally gonna do this i will do as best I can yeah, but i'm i'm just like have you done

02:46:29.280 --> 02:46:33.280
any of that yet interesting because

02:46:33.840 --> 02:46:38.160
Uh As much as I was a little hesitant with the teacher saying that they were gonna do that

02:46:38.640 --> 02:46:42.720
There is like things you can learn to do it better. There are skills to it

02:46:43.360 --> 02:46:47.760
Um, if it's actually a programming class, they might also just be messing with you

02:46:48.640 --> 02:46:53.520
Maybe So I mean take it as a hypothetical. Yes, they are going to do that

02:46:54.400 --> 02:47:02.240
Yeah, um I mean if it's like a small segment because they're gonna do it anyways, so if you can like work with them to

02:47:04.000 --> 02:47:09.040
Hopefully help them do it better a lot of people really use ai in in

02:47:11.360 --> 02:47:16.320
To be blunt just dumb ways, but uh, so if you can help them not that would be pretty cool

02:47:16.480 --> 02:47:25.040
I guess because again, they're gonna do it anyways Um ai's literacy is apparently really bad in canada. I heard that on the cbc

02:47:25.120 --> 02:47:30.480
So it's really bad everywhere. I think particularly bad in canada. How is that measured? I have no idea

02:47:31.440 --> 02:47:36.400
They probably asked a high Canada is not a country

02:47:37.440 --> 02:47:43.120
Let's see, uh, you're you're a you're canada jab in your uh google yourself video is pretty good

02:47:44.000 --> 02:47:47.280
I thought that was pretty funny important countries and also canada

02:47:50.080 --> 02:47:55.360
Yeah, I think we're nice enough, you know, but not particularly consequential

02:47:56.320 --> 02:48:00.400
It also depends on the scenario and the time. Yeah, there was that convention. We helped, right?

02:48:00.640 --> 02:48:06.320
Yeah Next message. Hey, you're the one, right? Nice

02:48:07.680 --> 02:48:13.520
Hey, he went a deal. Why in bigger orders do you split the packages between two separate carriers? Uh

02:48:14.880 --> 02:48:18.000
I don't know. Oh, we had some like issues for a bit

02:48:19.040 --> 02:48:21.040
So maybe that's what you're talking about

02:48:22.400 --> 02:48:27.040
Maybe perhaps Last one I've got to you today

02:48:27.360 --> 02:48:34.880
Why don't more people talk about the lack of drivers on Windows for Intel ssc or equivalent bluetooth le audio on broadcom more

02:48:35.040 --> 02:48:41.360
It can actually be a huge problem living in apartments in big cities. Okay, so um google thinks I mean Intel SSD

02:48:41.520 --> 02:48:43.840
So let's go ahead and find out what you're talking about

02:48:45.120 --> 02:48:49.680
Spread spectrum clocking. Oh Okay

02:48:49.680 --> 02:48:53.280
Like we do that for our wi-fi here in the office, I guess. Interesting. Okay

02:48:53.280 --> 02:48:58.160
I'm going to confess that I was not super familiar with this because I've not tried to make my bluetooth work

02:48:58.160 --> 02:49:02.240
Will be blown an apartment lately um

02:49:02.320 --> 02:49:06.080
Lack of drivers on Windows for it. I don't know. That's a really good question and

02:49:08.400 --> 02:49:16.640
Like I've run into Like a super congested environment very recently when we were doing natalie's amdl's mitt tech upgrade that

02:49:17.040 --> 02:49:20.480
It was like a huge problem not because necessarily everyone around her was
