00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.920
We are long hello, are you doing gamers? Happy Friday. Oh God, this is terrible news.

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:23.360
What? Didn't leave adequate media.

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:27.960
That's right. Let's go. Adequate media is still kicking. Let's go.

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:30.680
I can't. Whose idea was that?

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:35.240
I think technically I said it, but it's your idea.

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:43.320
How does that work? You said it, but I said it, but it's your idea. No, no, no.

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.520
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no.

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.280
Because remember you wanted to call, I think it was like float playing that at some point,

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.240
or you wanted that to be like, I thought it was your idea back then.

00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.480
I didn't think it was. Was it not? It's been so long. I have no idea.

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:03.880
You know what? Was it just you and me like riffing stupid stuff back and forth?

00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.600
Very probably, yeah. So it comes from that, whoever's idea was, I don't know,

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:16.760
it comes from whatever that was. At most I would be willing to claim like combined ownership.

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:22.840
With 50%? Sure. And then I just remembered that. That's all that the mention was.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.280
Yeah. I didn't come up with it on the spot. It does sound like a stupid thing I would say.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.920
I thought that was your idea. Was it? I thought so. Maybe you just liked it a lot.

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.400
No, I think that's what happened with Floatplane. I thought Floatplane, I just liked a lot.

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.160
Maybe. Or maybe Floatplane. I don't know. It was all so long ago. I don't know.

00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:44.280
How do people write autobiographies? I just couldn't.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.240
There's definitely some stuff. I don't know. Some stuff happened. I'm pretty sure it was there.

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.840
Like I remember who came up with Floatplane. I remember where we were. It was Nick.

00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:58.200
Oh, I remember where we all were. Or wait, the name or the idea? The name. Oh, really?

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.000
Not the idea. Oh, it was Nick. Classic Nick. I was supposed to have lunch with him.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:08.120
He even came up with the like tagline. And that's why he came up with the name.

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.360
Are you sure about that one? Pretty sure. I think you made it better.

00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:21.400
He said something about like, I don't remember. It had something. But I'm for sure that he came

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.320
up with the name. I know that he got the name. Imagine calling in sick to lunch.

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.640
I was supposed to have lunch with Nick and he called in sick. Oh, yeah.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.440
This is the first time anyone who doesn't work here anymore has ever called in sick.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:46.040
No, he actually, he had a really good excuse. Yeah, I got to catch up with him.

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.720
But yeah, we were in your office at the time, which has gone through like a trillion tenets

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:55.720
at this point, but it was this one right up here. Yeah, like Sammy has it now. Go figure.

00:02:55.720 --> 00:03:01.880
And we were like writing names down physically for some reason. Wow, that's neat. Delightfully

00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.840
analog. Yeah, that's cool. And we were like actually really struggling.

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.680
I don't remember it that well. And the biggest problem was that the domains were all gone.

00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:16.360
Oh yeah. I remember that part. Yeah. Like it being really frustrating to find any brand that was still

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:24.520
and dot coms still had some vestiges of dot coms still had some vestiges of mattering at all.

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.120
Yeah. For sure back then. No, I don't know anymore. I'm not, I'm not sure if it matters at all anymore.

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:37.480
Yeah, I might not. Like out of, like out of 10, right? Like in the early 2000s,

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:46.280
mid 2000s, it was a 10. Yeah. Now it's, you'd rather have ncix.com than computer.ca or,

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.200
you know, dot, dot TV or like whatever, you know, like random gibberish was literally better than

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.400
a different top level domain. And then when we did Floatplane, I think it was,

00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:04.680
it was starting to change. Twitch TV existed, but those were outliers. I think it was like a seven.

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:10.120
What do you think? I was also going to say a seven. Nice. So I think for something like

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:17.960
Twitch TV, they have the like mass brand power to make it work. And there are, there are other

00:04:17.960 --> 00:04:23.160
things that can kind of get away with it. I think these days we could get away with float

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:28.360
plane.TV and it would have been fine. I guess twitch.com. Actually, I'm kind of afraid to know.

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:33.880
Oh, okay. But in that case, I don't think it used to, they do still own it though. I don't think

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:38.440
it used to at the very least. I don't think they originally owned it. Did Valve ever buy steam.com?

00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:45.080
No, I don't think so. That's crazy. Yes. That's crazy. Yeah. There's just like no FU. We just won't.

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:49.880
And it's team powered.com after all these years. That's nuts.

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.640
Yeah, I will. What do you, what do you think it is now out of 10?

00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:04.680
Yeah, Twitch didn't originally own twitch.com. What is now? No, I was going to say seven now.

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.520
You still think it's a seven now? I still think it matters because of people our age and older.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:15.080
I don't, I think if we're talking the kids, I think it's like a four. Discord.gg. Like,

00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:22.760
does discord have the .com? Yeah, they do. But I bet you they got it because of us and older.

00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:28.040
You think so? I think so. For the youngins, I don't think it matters at all. I feel like it's

00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.640
closer to like a five for me now. I don't know if it's a seven anymore. I think that's a lot.

00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:39.480
Okay, this TokaP thing, we're just, don't show againing. Don't show a what now?

00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.200
TokaP. You just had this happen. Sounds like a Pokemon. It's TokaP. Sorry, what?

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.760
TokaAPI.dll. You just had this happen, right? Did you not?

00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.160
No, no, no. Threat Locker. Threat Locker.

00:05:57.320 --> 00:06:02.040
This. No, I think I'm with something else. Oh, well, I'm doing don't show again. Yeah,

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:08.360
probably not important. Nice. The computer's still working right now. Sorry, I thought you were floating, I'm putting it Floatplane chat. You're good. Yeah, okay. I can see all this

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.880
confusing. I was like, I thought that was what you had said and therefore you would have recognized

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.160
and then I read someone's message that had the word fishing in it. And then I thought you were

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.360
pointing at someone trying to exploit something in the Floatplane chat that was to do with some

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.880
kind of DLL that was to do with fishing. My brain just kind of took two completely unrelated things

00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:35.960
and went, we're doing this way. That happens. Yeah, I couldn't, I literally couldn't even see

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:42.200
the end of your finger because I was so busy thinking about DLL and fishing and Floatplane chat.

00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:53.560
Cool. Also, did you say Toka P? Like Toka API? Yeah. Why would you say Toka P?

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.720
Yeah, I was messing around. What chance could I possibly have of knowing what you were talking

00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.920
about? Toka P. T-O-K-A-P-I dot D-L-L-O. I did correct that eventually. Which I don't even

00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:13.640
know what that is. Me neither. Okay, what is it? No direct information. Maybe this is the same one

00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:16.920
that I tried to look up. I'm pretty sure it was. I thought I heard you say it.

00:07:20.760 --> 00:07:25.400
It's not Toka P the Pokemon. I was messing around and not breaking down the words because

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:29.400
I thought it was funnier. And I thought he would have immediately known what I was talking about

00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:41.240
and then because he didn't, it rapidly got confusing. Hey, speaking of things rapidly

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.200
getting confusing and whatever actually, it's not really, it doesn't relate to our last topic.

00:07:46.840 --> 00:07:53.080
Jordan showed me the script for the first half of the Elo system vibe coding challenge video.

00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:56.760
I think you're going to really enjoy your reaction bits.

00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:07.080
My reaction bits? Yep. I don't even remember we filmed them. You haven't. Okay. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, but it's all set up for what I'm going to say

00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:12.600
and what you're going to see. Oh, okay. And then what you're going to kind of do little bits responding to be kind.

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.440
It's going to be a little out of date. Yeah. The model you use and stuff is like...

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:26.440
I don't think it matters because a lot of what went wrong with it is not even necessarily related

00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:33.560
to the model and a lot of what, a lot of the limitations that it had that have made it hard

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:39.560
for me to upkeep it are very much still limitations. So, like I've got...

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:44.760
That might be worth addressing in the video. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's totally fine to

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.400
just say like this was a while ago.

00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.600
Yeah, it's going to be good. Fine. Go to bed, Zanthan Wolf.

00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:01.160
Have a very good night, Zanthan Wolf. No. Have a great night. Yeah.

00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:09.640
Eat some chicken first or better yet, feed someone else chicken. We were, we were

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:12.520
contrasting and it, and then you joined me and now I don't know what to do.

00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:19.640
Have a terrible sleep. Why would you be like that? Oh, I get it because of the chicken.

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.920
Ain't nobody sleeping tonight. Not in Zanthan Wolf's house. Oh, man.

00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:31.560
All right, cool.

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.680
Imagine due to stream delay, you didn't even hear any of that.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:43.320
It's possible. Yeah. I mean, he didn't respond, so he's probably just sleeping.

00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:56.040
Poor chickenless son of a bitch. All right. Should we, should we start the show?

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.320
Yeah, you're good to go. All right. I'm good to go. All right. Let's do this.

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:11.960
My two-year relationship ended right after WAN last week. Thanks for what you guys do.

00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:19.560
Did it end because of WAN? Was that an ironic thanks for what you guys do?

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:22.840
Distracting me from spending time with my SO, so they leave me?

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:31.240
Genuinely curious. Who was that? I need to make sure I see the response.

00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:40.680
Question for toxic sands. Question for water bottle lovers. How do you cut down the ice noise?

00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:48.920
I think the ice noise is a feature. I think ice in a drink has a very satisfying sound.

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:50.920
You learn to appreciate it.

00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:59.240
But no, I did not see that Bernardo Baruch. Sorry, I don't actually hang out in the discord.

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.680
I've popped into it like four or five times, I think.

00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:09.480
Did they ever reply? I didn't see it. They did. They said no LOL completely

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.040
separate, but it's sad nonetheless. All right. Yeah, sorry to hear that, man.

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.040
They will be okay. We will all make it.

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.240
Oh, I mean, some of us might not make it.

00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.080
For like the stream, for instance, did not make it.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.040
Why does it go down so much these days? I feel like it's been less reliable.

00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:37.960
Oh, you seem in pain.

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.200
Okay. Is this something we have to talk about off-show?

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.840
Yeah. All right. Is it something that's going to cost money to fix? No. Oh.

00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.000
Then is it something that can cost money and be fixed?

00:11:57.800 --> 00:12:01.960
Eventually. Oh, okay, cool. Good chat. Thanks.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.880
All right. What do I do if I lose the rubber in my water bottle lid?

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.840
Well, if it was a dirty one, then you clean your water bottle lid.

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:33.720
You could buy a new water bottle lid. They're really cheap. Oh, that's such a terrible solution. I wish we... They said they lost it. Like, I don't know.

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:39.240
No, they mean the... Wait, do they mean the... They said if they lose the rubber.

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:44.760
Okay. Do you mean... Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Okay. Do you mean this rubber? Like here?

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.680
Oh, I assumed they meant the like... This one? Or do you mean the silicone? I assumed they

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:56.360
meant the silicone. Because if it's this one, I don't know, man. Could you 3D print that out of like

00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.720
TPU or something, maybe? Or like... Totally. Yeah, definitely. And also you could just not have it.

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:08.120
It's not as good or cool or good looking and then you don't have to grip, but you could survive without it.

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:14.840
It's the inside. The small white one. Yeah, the silicone. Yeah. I think our intention was to have

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:20.760
them be available, but like, I don't know if we ever got around to that. I think we were kind of like,

00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:25.560
well, maybe just don't, you know? I mean, it happens. My kids managed to misplace one of the

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:32.040
silicone seals on one of their thermoses for school. And I was like, come on, man.

00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:37.080
Like, can you just not? Like, where the hell am I supposed to get a new one? It's so irritating.

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:42.360
Yeah. Is it a generic size you could find on Amazon? It's not just the size. It's also like,

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:48.360
our water bottle lid has a little pull tab on it on the V2, which is I assume why they care so much

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:55.880
about getting a new one. Yeah, I don't know, buddy. I don't have a good solution for you. From like,

00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.280
from like a right to repair and waste standpoint, I definitely totally see where you're coming

00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:10.280
from and you should be able to just get one new one. But we just don't have a process for that

00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:17.000
right now. So it's pretty tough. Yeah, we're still selling the V2 lids. Seven bucks Canadian on the

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:30.760
global store. Yeah. Yeah. Or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, finally I have 99 USD.

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:36.360
Yep. It's about lead V2 for LTT water bottle. It also works with a lot of other water bottles. It

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:42.440
turns out that, um, you know, this OEM makes water bottles for a lot of companies.

00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:48.040
You know, there's some really weird stuff when I'm sure you've experienced this, but like, man,

00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:53.880
usually I'm, I'm just trying to do like Facebook Marketplace if I'm buying stuff, but, uh, I was

00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:59.960
buying a new thing and I had the experience where the Canadian price and the US price, despite the

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:08.360
Canadian dollar being worth way less, were like really close, raw number wise, because of tariffs.

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:16.920
Because of tariffs. Yeah, dog. It's like, oh, wait. It's been, it's actually like way cheaper.

00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:24.360
It's been really fascinating watching people with zero comprehension of basic numbers and how they

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:31.080
work, talk about how tariffs will not have an inflationary effect. Dude, I, yeah. It's, it's

00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:36.600
wild. The same thing being effectively the same numerical dollars, but Canadian dollars being

00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:45.320
worth insanely less is wild. That thing was way cheaper in Canada. Like, holy. It's just like,

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:52.840
yeah, thank you, Agius. Math is math. Like this is not, this is not a political conversation. This

00:15:52.840 --> 00:16:03.640
is just, this is just like number higher on input equal number higher on output. There's simply

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:12.920
basically, there just isn't any other way around it. And I'm sorry, but there isn't.

00:16:14.760 --> 00:16:20.200
Oh man. Yeah. Boogerfinger says, buddy just tried to buy something from Alibaba and the

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.360
tariff was the cost of the goods and shipping. So basically it was double the price.

00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:34.360
Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Melody Bunn says it's willful ignorance at this point. I don't,

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:41.400
I don't, I don't know if it is. I had to buy a kind of really random cable. Yeah. I,

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:46.120
the cheapest place I could find it online was eBay from like a seller that has sold

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.360
like thousands of them. Right. So it's just a store. It's clearly a store, but it's on eBay.

00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:57.560
And it was $2.99 Canadian and on the US store, this, this is a different thing. This is not

00:16:57.560 --> 00:17:01.800
the thing that I was talking about, but this is just another example. On the US store,

00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:09.480
if I remember correctly, it was $3.99 US and I'm like, brother, not, not only is it just raw

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.440
numerical value, the Canadian one is lower, but also the Canadian dollars were so much less that

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:19.960
like the differential between the same cable is so much more. Yeah, it's just a few dollars. You're

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.800
probably not going to think about it too much. But in, in the grand scheme, like,

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:32.360
my goodness, that adds up when you do that to almost everything. Yeah. Man, it's been,

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:39.240
it's, it's been, it's been pretty wild watching everything happen over the last little while.

00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:49.720
Do you ever think about that PC build we did? Yeah, literally like all the time. And I, I, I constantly tell people this story about like,

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:55.080
there was no collusion at all. We were both genuinely surprised. No one believes me on that

00:17:55.080 --> 00:18:01.400
part. I know. Nobody believes me. We go to such lengths to not fake things for our content. Like,

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.320
I remember having this conversation with another creator that I collaborated with a little while

00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:11.960
ago and they were like, wouldn't it be easier if you just like faked reactions to things or like,

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.560
if you just sort of scripted things more? I'm like, yeah. I'm like, why don't you do that? I'm

00:18:17.560 --> 00:18:23.800
like, cause it would be lame. Yeah, it's boring. They're like, but everyone else does that. I'm

00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:30.440
like, I know. Yeah. Super documented. And it's, it's, it's just, it's so, ah, it's so annoying

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.240
because people assume that we're doing the same thing. It's like, no, no, we just, no, I actually

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:45.800
had someone living in my house and I didn't know, which is way funnier. Like if it was just scripted,

00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:51.800
you know, YouTube for kids garbage, then Dennis actually does exist. Yeah. Yeah. He's real.

00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:57.720
He could be in your house right now. I mean, he's not working here anymore. I don't know where he

00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.560
is. Yeah. We don't know what he's doing. He might not work here. I mean, he might, even when he did work here, he might have been in your house. He might have been.

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.880
There's a non zero percentage chance. Oh man.

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:24.040
Legend has it. He's still living there. Sup Rod. Hey, Rod. What did Rod do? It's more what he didn't do.

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:29.960
What did Rod not do? I invited him to come to softball night last year and he didn't come.

00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:33.800
He's probably, maybe it was something very important. No.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:41.320
He said see you in a week. Are you coming out of whale land? Oh, let's go. Wait, is that in a week?

00:19:41.320 --> 00:19:44.360
Is it in a week? I thought it was the end of the month. Can't be in a week. Wait, what do you mean

00:19:44.360 --> 00:19:50.520
see you in a week? Is this one of those things that like is a word like see you next Tuesday is

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:57.320
cunt. See you in a week. I'm afraid I don't know that one. Yeah, that's in two weeks.

00:19:58.040 --> 00:20:02.280
Two weeks. I mean, yeah, maybe Rod got confused. Maybe he just got a little ahead of himself.

00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:06.520
Yeah. Happens. I don't know. Ah, two weeks. Two weeks whale land. Okay. Nice.

00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:14.600
And yet somehow that will not make up for you not coming to softball last year.

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:20.600
So you'll have to come to softball sometime this coming year or this year, this year, 2026.

00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:24.600
We're going to bring back, we're going to bring back softball night probably in the spring,

00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:30.280
summer timeframe, you know, like when softball is. That makes sense. Should we maybe start the

00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:37.400
show at some point? No. Really? Wouldn't that be kind of funny if we did an entire like WAN Show

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.520
just just for the Floatplane piece? I don't think they would notice. You don't think so?

00:20:42.520 --> 00:20:47.000
I don't think they would really. I think they'd notice. The tone of the WAN Show is a little

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.240
bit different from the pre-show. Or if you did a fake millennial pause for like 30 seconds,

00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:56.280
like they wouldn't know. That's kind of funny. Should I just do that on WAN Show?

00:20:56.280 --> 00:21:00.280
Pretend to start the show and then don't start the show. Everybody quiet, quiet.

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:08.280
We end up doing that so often anyways. Yeah. Because we're just waiting for the YouTube

00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:12.600
thing so you can't time it perfectly. Yeah. No key. I know you would vote for a four-hour

00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:15.960
pre-show, one-hour live show. That's because then you wouldn't have to do the timestamps

00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:17.880
for a four-hour show.

00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:24.680
Not talking about topics for four hours. That's just WAN Show. Yeah, exactly. I do. I do think

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.440
you're, I think we're- You do timestamps for Floatplane now? Oh, it's hilarious. I didn't know that.

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:37.400
What an absolute mad lad. Based. Oh, is that thing? I should know this, but

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.960
I didn't think people would use it anyways. How do you do timestamps for this bullshit?

00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:47.400
There is no topic.

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:59.480
I have no clue. I just wing it. Oh yeah, and he does use the feature too.

00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.480
Cool. Oh, we have the feature. We support that now. Oh, that's super cool. Do you know what I'm

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:09.080
talking about? I assume that it's clickable time things. Yeah. Wait, you thought I didn't

00:22:09.080 --> 00:22:12.680
know what those were or what? Well, I just didn't know if you knew what I was talking about. I knew

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:19.480
you knew what those were. What? Why are you so mean to me? I'm not even trying to be mean.

00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:29.400
Dude, oh, speaking of collabs, I shot something with a local badminton YouTuber earlier this

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:34.040
week. Oh, that was such a mistake. Not the collab. The collab was good. Just the timing.

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.440
The timing was such a mistake because I snowboarded on Saturday

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:45.320
and it was my first time being on a real mountain in like 10, 15 years. We were up at Big White.

00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:49.480
Yeah. Okay. I was going to say, it's not good around here. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Like,

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:55.880
I've only skied the local mountains for many years now. And it's been bad. Yeah.

00:22:56.280 --> 00:23:02.840
Yeah. So like, we're talking like, I didn't actually time it, but it felt like runs were

00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:08.040
like 15 minutes long, like continuously. Like it's a big, it's right in the name.

00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:14.760
It's white and it's big. Very good. Very descriptive. So yeah. So I was up on Big White

00:23:14.760 --> 00:23:22.280
for Saturday and then I snowboarded again on Sunday. And then on Monday, I had badminton,

00:23:22.280 --> 00:23:26.280
like not, not training. Like it's not with a coach, but it's with one of the smash champs guys.

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:31.880
And uh, it's my favorite mountain. Yikes.

00:23:36.120 --> 00:23:40.760
Wow. Come on. I don't know if they're going to be able to like stay open forever, man. Like,

00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:45.640
I'm getting actually worried about that. It's been bad for years. Yeah. No, they're doomed.

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:52.200
It's, it's over. They're cooked. What mountain is that? Seymour. Yeah. Yeah. That's where we

00:23:52.280 --> 00:23:57.240
used this key. Yeah. Cause it's so easy to get to. You can go there after work. I know. You can

00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:03.320
actually like work here and your shift at a normal time and snowboard for a considerable amount of

00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:10.600
time and get home in time to like sleep reasonably before work the next day. Like it's amazing in

00:24:10.600 --> 00:24:20.840
theory when it has snow. Yeah. Anyway, my story is kind of boring. The point is I was really sore

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:28.360
when we did the collab and uh, I was filled with deep regret while I was trying to learn how to

00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:35.720
jump smash after having done vigorous exercise for the previous four days that was basically all on

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:44.760
my legs. I'm mostly recovered now. It's been a couple days now, but. How are your knees? Actually

00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:51.000
surprisingly good. Nice. Yeah. They've been, they've been good for a long time and like,

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.280
like, you know how whenever I poke you, I'm like, oh man, your muscles are so firm.

00:24:54.280 --> 00:25:00.680
Like my thighs feel like that now. Like I'm, like I'm not, I'm not like flexing. Actually,

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:06.360
the right one's a lot better than the left. Which makes sense. Which makes sense. Because of the,

00:25:06.360 --> 00:25:11.400
the Reynolds stuff I was out for so long and it's been, it's been depressing going back, but.

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.720
Oh yeah. No, the left is a lot worse. My legs have always been twight.

00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.440
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the right side's a lot better. This is.

00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:25.800
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's, he's always like. My legs have been twight. Like thicker.

00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:31.480
Twight, twight. He's always thicker than me. But yeah, it's been, it's been sadge, but we're,

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:36.200
we're getting to it. We're getting to it. When are you going to join us for baddie night?

00:25:36.520 --> 00:25:40.840
Uh, my knees are a problem right now. Oh no. But that. Those again?

00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:44.760
Everything's back because I was. What the heck? I was doing maintenance exercises

00:25:44.760 --> 00:25:48.920
and then I stopped for like six months because of Renault and traveling and everything,

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.800
but it's all, it's all improving and rapidly. So I'll be fine. Like genuinely I will be fine

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:57.960
and I will, I will start showing up to badminton and everything will be okay. I'm wanting to come

00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.120
to badminton. Heck yeah. I just need my shoulder not explode. Yeah. And, and you don't have to do

00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:07.320
baddie the whole time. And I will most certainly won't be at least one of the first few times that

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:12.280
I go because my shoulder won't make it. Karis has been coming. Yeah. I almost carried Arianna

00:26:12.280 --> 00:26:21.240
against Tynan and Chewy on Tuesday. I was so close. I think we lost 21-19, but like, ah,

00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:23.400
almost. It was very close.

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.840
Phil with a floppy D says, I swear Luke is permanently injured.

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:35.160
Well, actually, yes. Does kind of feel that way. No, but that is actually kind of a thing without

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:42.360
like some pretty seriously intrusive stuff. Well, you did so many sports when you were younger.

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:47.400
Yeah. I'm just like starting to wonder if maybe. And like some really, really high contact ones.

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:53.000
Kids just shouldn't play contact sports. There's some reasons to question it.

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:58.200
I got a lot of benefit from it, I think. I would do it again. Like socially?

00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:04.200
I think so. Developmentally? I think so. But then I also bashed my head into things a lot.

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.520
Yeah. Which has questionable effects. Right. Yeah.

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:14.760
I don't know. I would do it again though. I'm not suicidal, by the way. Is that the...

00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:23.640
He's just like full traumatic head injury, like rage murderous rampage.

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.720
Don't bash your head. I mean, yeah. Yeah. And this is health advice.

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.760
I did. I was in the era when they were already getting you to like, you know,

00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:37.720
don't lead with your head and stuff. Right. Yeah. So like you were supposed to be hitting with your shoulders and things,

00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.840
and that's not why my shoulder is hurt. Yeah. That was a bike accident. Well, a car accident.

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.960
With a bike. All things considered, I think I'm doing all right.

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:58.440
I've been hit by cars twice. I'm doing okay. I can do this. I'm all right.

00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:02.520
And like realistically, when I'm consistently going, and it's been a bit,

00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:06.680
like things are pretty all right. And I'm on that thing where like,

00:28:07.560 --> 00:28:11.320
you gain your flexibility and your strength back two times faster when you're like

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.960
regaining it. And I'm like very much in that curve still. So like it's...

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:21.640
The starting point is like deeply frustrating, but we're getting there. It's okay.

00:28:24.280 --> 00:28:29.640
It is all right. No, the car was not parked. No, no. Yeah. Neither time was the car parked.

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.480
It was also never, I never got hit head on either though. So

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:43.800
I do have to tone it down a little bit that way. One time I was coming down a hill

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:49.480
and a truck was in the left lane and I was in the right lane and it did like a last minute turn.

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:54.040
And I went into like kind of the rear wheel well side of it

00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:01.080
and ended up in the bed of the truck. And the other time I was coming down Canada Highway

00:29:01.080 --> 00:29:05.880
on a hill. So I had a lot of... Canada Way. Not the Trans Canada Highway, which is very close

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:10.920
to it. And so that could be confusing. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Good point. But I had a lot of speed

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:16.760
coming down a really, really long hill. Yes. Turned into BCIT and was cruising on the side

00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:22.680
of the road and a car came up beside me and like bumped me. And I went into

00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:31.240
the like curb and my shoulder crunched like right on the curb. And the... I think I like

00:29:32.280 --> 00:29:35.960
blacked out or something. My favorite part of the story is coming next.

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:45.400
Oh, no. That's the first time. Oh, that's the first time. Oh, never mind. Yeah. I didn't tell that part.

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:57.160
I could. Yeah. Sure. The time that the truck swiped me, I'll skip a little bit and then

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:05.080
then I, once I recovered initially, I picked up my bike and sprinted the whole way home because

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:12.760
I had so much adrenaline. Yeah. Anyways, there's more to that story. But anyways, the second time,

00:30:14.120 --> 00:30:21.160
I have scars all along my fingers because my hand impacted and then I flipped and my shoulder

00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:26.200
impacted. It's probably lucky that it didn't go straight into the shoulder. Probably. I was...

00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:33.480
I think I was trying to roll. Right. I don't know. But then it was like a lot of pain and I was just

00:30:33.560 --> 00:30:38.440
kind of sitting there and someone came up to me and was like, are you good? And my hand is gushing

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:43.400
blood and I was like, I don't think so. And there's like a medical thing at BCIT. So they brought me

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:49.240
there and they were like, your shoulder is shattered. And I was like, oh, no. And then we got x-rays and

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:56.600
they were like, your shoulder is fine. And the muscles in my shoulder were just so clenched up

00:30:56.600 --> 00:31:01.480
that when they tried to move it, they thought it was broken. Wow. Don't know how that happened.

00:31:02.040 --> 00:31:10.120
But sure. I mean, they're also medical students. Right. So. Quality. I don't know.

00:31:10.120 --> 00:31:13.480
But yeah, when I went to go get real x-rays, they were like, oh, no, you're good.

00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.960
Cool. Yeah. Very good.

00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:23.880
All right. We should start the show. Were you driving or biking? I was biking.

00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:28.440
Both times I've had problems with cars. I was biking.

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:34.920
Have you ever been in like an actual car accident? Literally never. That's hilarious. Well, okay. One time I was a passenger

00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:40.120
and the driver in the car rear ended someone going like no miles an hour.

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:49.800
And that's it. Man, I haven't been in one in a long time. Get some knock on wood action here.

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:59.480
This crazy stuff happens, man. There was one time driving to NZX that I like e-braked

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.480
to because someone like pulled out in front of me right in front of NZX.

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:11.640
That like cul-de-sac that you'd pull into someone like I was coming down and somebody

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:15.400
came out just just ripped out right in front of me and I slammed on the brake,

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.880
realized it wasn't going to work and ripped the e-brake and they didn't even stop.

00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.200
It's something in the water.

00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.920
Bicycle. Yeah, bicycle. Yeah, pedal bike.

00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.240
I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike.

00:32:46.520 --> 00:32:51.400
Where's Linus' bike in the shop? Apparently. Next summer.

00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.400
There is a very good chance I will ride in March. This summer, I guess. Yep.

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.600
That's what I meant by next summer, but sounds wrong.

00:33:01.080 --> 00:33:03.960
At least you didn't say the coming summer. Oh my.

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:12.280
That'd be a good name for like a teen comedy. That sounds very...

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.440
I love that we can hear Dan stick around and you guys can't. Normally I have my

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:25.720
mic over there, but this is pre-show. Busted to whisper sweet nothings to them.

00:33:26.600 --> 00:33:30.760
What's National Land Flour? Was that it? Who did those?

00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:33.560
There was all those movies when we were younger that were like like that.

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.880
Like American Pie, you mean? National Land Poon.

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.000
Why is that making me think of this?

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.360
Yeah, 1970. I have no idea what I'm thinking of. American Pie.

00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:56.920
I thought this was like a bunch of movies, not one, so I'm clearly thinking of the wrong thing.

00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.440
It's gotta be American Pie, which I've actually never seen.

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:06.280
Hey. I don't think I've seen it in its entirety. Speaking of which,

00:34:06.280 --> 00:34:09.960
I don't think I would choose that, but we're overdue for a movie night.

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.000
We are. Yeah. Okay, I'm sending out an email. Probably not. Probably not that. American Pie 2.

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.360
Oh my God, should we go see it?

00:34:19.720 --> 00:34:25.080
Oh my God. No, we would have to financially support it.

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:32.840
We gotta find some way to not do that crime. You want to pirate Melania and watch it. I don't want to watch it.

00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:38.520
It sounds insufferable. Have you read any reviews? No. It sounds so bad.

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:44.040
Oh, man. It sounds awful.

00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:53.720
Okay, I'm emailing you all and we need to find a date.

00:35:00.200 --> 00:35:04.680
All right. That was a quality three-word email.

00:35:04.680 --> 00:35:07.880
All right, all right, let's actually start this thing. Okay, no, I think I was right.

00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:25.160
National Lampoon, yeah. And they were releasing, look, they started releasing movies in 1973, but then they kept going 2007, 2009.

00:35:25.160 --> 00:35:34.600
They just kept going. Dirty movie, snatched, dirty politics, that.

00:35:34.600 --> 00:35:38.680
These are all National Lampoon. They don't even have National Lampoon in the names though.

00:35:38.680 --> 00:35:42.440
Like what is this? The Legend of Awesomenest Maximus?

00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:47.800
Yeah, I don't know. What am I even looking at here? If I remember correctly, they would say like National Lampoon.

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.080
Yeah, see, right there, National Lampoon's The Legend of...

00:35:52.120 --> 00:35:57.480
But it would be this thing at the top. So is this just like cheaper, crappier Mel Brooks movies?

00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:03.400
Or like, what am I looking at here exactly? I don't know. This is like, I used to work at a movie store, Lore.

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:09.720
This is not, I didn't actually watch it. Wait, did I, did I know that? When did you work at a movie store?

00:36:11.080 --> 00:36:14.760
I don't think I knew that. I had like a trillion jobs before we started working together.

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:18.440
That was... It's crazy. You've had more jobs than me, I think.

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:24.360
I don't know. Probably not even close, yeah. I worked at a grocery store. I worked at Panago. I was a ref.

00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:29.560
I worked at a movie store. Yeah, you've already had more jobs than me then. I worked as computer sales at Best Buy.

00:36:29.560 --> 00:36:34.760
Yeah. I worked at Geek Squad at Best Buy. I worked at Geek Squad when Geek Squad was owned by Geek Squad.

00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:39.480
And I worked at Geek Squad when Geek Squad was owned by Best Buy. That was actually a very different experience.

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.840
Oh yeah, we need all this for your Wikipedia. Thanks, Nokey. Oh my God.

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:51.640
I had other ones too, but yeah, lots of jobs. Yeah, I worked at Gone Hollywood Video.

00:36:52.200 --> 00:36:56.600
Gone Hollywood Video. It sounds like a sexy video shop.

00:36:56.600 --> 00:36:59.800
It wasn't in particular. We did not have a back room.

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:01.960
Really? No back room? No back room. Wow.

00:37:03.640 --> 00:37:06.120
You know, that's funny.

00:37:07.160 --> 00:37:10.680
That's something I never got to experience. Me neither.

00:37:10.680 --> 00:37:14.280
I had seen the outside of a back room as a kid,

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:19.160
and I was very curious about the back room. But by the time I was an adult,

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.280
renting a movie would have been the farthest thing from my mind.

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:28.280
Farthest thing from my mind. And I never actually went in a back room.

00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.960
What was it like? Are there pictures? Can you just find a picture of the back room of a VHS rental?

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:34.120
I'm sure it looks exactly the same just with

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.520
lewd covers on the movies. No, I bet it's way cooler.

00:37:40.600 --> 00:37:44.920
Here, face. There's like a pole in the middle. Facebook, the video store back rooms.

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:45.800
Now this is nothing.

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:53.400
Yeah, apparently they released 66 movies under that.

00:37:54.040 --> 00:37:57.880
And the last one was not yet released.

00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:02.440
Okay, I think you're right. I think it's just like this, but like that.

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:05.240
Yeah. At least this one was. Yeah.

00:38:09.240 --> 00:38:14.680
Yeah, totally agreed, Chewie. Chewie's like, isn't it crazy that average malls just like

00:38:15.240 --> 00:38:16.920
had a Spencer's in them?

00:38:19.640 --> 00:38:26.200
Yep. And they didn't stop you when you're like 10 from going and like

00:38:26.200 --> 00:38:29.880
looking at the pornographic playing cards and stuff. No one cared.

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:31.880
Yep.

00:38:37.560 --> 00:38:39.400
What am I looking at here?

00:38:41.080 --> 00:38:43.640
Backrooms.fandom.com.

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.040
Oh, this is like. What is this? That's the back rooms, back rooms.

00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:49.720
Yeah, this is a totally different thing.

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:55.720
Video rental store is an expensive retro video game and film rental business from then.

00:38:55.720 --> 00:38:58.760
Oh, oh, this is like a... Oh, all right. Never mind.

00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.720
Yeah, this is a very unrelated thing. All right. Okay.

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:04.600
That's where they lead though.

00:39:08.520 --> 00:39:11.800
Because like, yeah, some of them definitely had like cooler entrances.

00:39:13.640 --> 00:39:17.240
Yeah, but you got to think like, what are they really going to do back there?

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.000
And realistically, it's just going to be the exact same thing as in the front.

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:27.320
That's fair. This is where they keep all the copies of the sold out movies that

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.120
you got to go in there and then you get like the hottest release.

00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:35.080
The hottest release? Oh my, that's where they get you.

00:39:35.080 --> 00:39:38.600
But how much of that hottest release do you get? Full maybe?

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:47.000
Now see, the hottest is it's the misnomer. It actually just means popular, not sexy.

00:39:48.680 --> 00:39:53.080
All right. Yeah. Why don't we start the show? The background where Mew was under the truck, dude.

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:58.760
I wanted that to be true so bad. Did that rumor go around your school?

00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:02.200
It seemed like it went around basically everywhere that there was a Mew under a

00:40:02.200 --> 00:40:05.720
truck in the old Pokemon games. And you had to like...

00:40:07.240 --> 00:40:10.680
What was the Pokemon move that moved the boulder? Was it just called strength or something?

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:19.240
I don't remember. The idea was that you had to push the truck and Mew was under it and you could catch a Mew.

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.040
And it like wasn't actually a thing, but it circulated like so hard.

00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:30.600
There was so much stuff like that. Like the rumor that you could mod the original Tomb Raider to take Lara's top off,

00:40:31.240 --> 00:40:34.520
Nude Raider, or some of the other like hoaxes.

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.000
I can't remember. Oh, what now?

00:40:42.600 --> 00:40:46.680
Do you know where I'm going with this? Potentially. Marilyn Manson?

00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:49.160
Is that enough? That's enough. That's enough. That's enough.

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.640
Marilyn Manson's rib. Oh yeah, right, right, right.

00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:57.080
Okay, I thought we were just talking video games. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:04.280
Rib. Yeah. Okay. See you chat new too.

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.560
We should really start the show. Probably. 545.

00:41:07.560 --> 00:41:12.120
We are never getting out of here tonight. All right, I'm resuming the selected now.

00:41:12.120 --> 00:41:15.400
Dan, do you want to flag me when it's good to go? Sure thing.

00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:28.280
What's up, everyone?

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.960
And welcome to the WAN Show.

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:35.880
We've got a great show lined up for you guys this week

00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:42.360
in some of the biggest news. Microsoft wants to earn back user trust

00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.920
by maybe dialing back some of the AI- Windows changes?

00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:52.680
Nonsense that they've been cramming down our poor chafed

00:41:52.680 --> 00:41:56.200
throats. I mean, I guess that's at least partially true. And I'm, you know what?

00:41:56.200 --> 00:41:59.480
I'm kind of into it. We've also got-

00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.480
Wait, which part? Oh, stop.

00:42:02.680 --> 00:42:04.840
We've also got a short discussion.

00:42:05.720 --> 00:42:09.560
There's been obviously some meming over on the platform

00:42:09.560 --> 00:42:15.480
formerly known as Twitter about whether or not LMG

00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:20.200
scales people's pay over time. So we've got some handy-dandy graphs to demonstrate that,

00:42:20.200 --> 00:42:24.040
yes, in fact, we do. And then what else we've got?

00:42:24.040 --> 00:42:27.320
What else we've got this week, Mr. Luke? Notepad++ got hacked.

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.600
So if you're like me and you're holding out and you just,

00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:35.640
for some reason, really like launching Notepad instead of opening a new Google Doc or doing whatever else

00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.840
to the chagrin of line of Sebastian,

00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:45.080
maybe go update that real quick. I only got mad at you for using it when it-

00:42:45.560 --> 00:42:49.320
It didn't have any kind of like save features

00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:53.400
or like automatic backup. He lost so much work putting things in Notepad++.

00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.520
I don't think that was ever actually Notepad++'s fault. That was because I used to just use Notepad.

00:42:58.520 --> 00:43:02.200
Sure. And then I just want to clarify that because some people would be like, oh, I'm actually-

00:43:02.200 --> 00:43:07.400
Okay, there was something that I always used to get mad at him about using because it didn't have autosave.

00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:11.240
I ended up like reg-editing something so that if I tried to launch Notepad,

00:43:11.240 --> 00:43:14.600
it would just Notepad launch- It would just launch Notepad++ anyways.

00:43:14.600 --> 00:43:18.360
Fine. So that I couldn't even screw it up

00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:26.520
and then that was better. Anyways, also, have you ever wanted to rent out yourself?

00:43:26.520 --> 00:43:30.440
Well, rentahuman.ai. You can rent your body out to AI agents.

00:43:31.240 --> 00:43:36.280
Yes. This is what I've been waiting for. Some people wanted to be able to rent out their Tesla

00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:40.600
as a taxi and then waited this long and they still can't do it. That's lame. Who cares?

00:43:40.600 --> 00:43:42.040
I want to be able to rent me.

00:43:45.560 --> 00:43:46.520
It's handy.

00:44:04.520 --> 00:44:07.560
The show is brought to you today by Vessi,

00:44:07.560 --> 00:44:10.600
Jawah, Odoo, Squarespace,

00:44:10.600 --> 00:44:15.000
our RAP partner, Dbrand, our laptop partner, Razor, and our chair partner, also Razor.

00:44:16.520 --> 00:44:19.480
All right. Sorry, I have to have Mr. Assister,

00:44:20.120 --> 00:44:24.760
which he didn't assist right here in full-point chat, said, does this mean the AI gets my depression?

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:35.880
At what point does this whole thing just become a complete circle jerk?

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.360
Right, because like a human programs the AI

00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:45.640
to ask a human to do a thing, would it tell them to use an AI to something?

00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:50.440
The point is Microsoft is trying to earn back user trust

00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.880
by dialing back AI features no one wanted. That's right.

00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:59.960
They're finally acknowledging what users have been screaming about for years.

00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:04.440
Why it took this long? We don't know, but it finally seems to have broken through

00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.800
that Windows 11 has a trust problem.

00:45:08.520 --> 00:45:12.200
In a report from The Verge's Tom Warren. And other problems.

00:45:12.200 --> 00:45:15.800
Windows president Pavan Daveluri admits

00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.440
that the company needs to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people.

00:45:22.040 --> 00:45:25.400
Here's what I want to know. Here's what I want to know. I have a question.

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:28.280
I have a question for Mr. PD over there.

00:45:29.080 --> 00:45:33.000
Okay. If you're such a fancy investigator

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:37.400
of what Windows users might want, why did it take you this long

00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:42.360
to come up with an innovative idea like we should improve Windows in ways

00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.480
that are meaningful for people? When did this person get this job?

00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:50.280
I'm genuinely interested. Yeah. I want to know how long it took to figure out

00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:54.600
that you should improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people.

00:45:56.680 --> 00:45:57.160
Hit me.

00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:03.240
2000 and wait, what?

00:46:04.040 --> 00:46:08.040
Microsoft picks. Been at Microsoft since 2021,

00:46:08.040 --> 00:46:11.240
but in this role since 2024 according to AI.

00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.720
Yeah, I'm looking it up. All right. So, Luke's going to fact check that because that's necessary.

00:46:16.600 --> 00:46:20.120
He also says that engineers are now swarming

00:46:20.120 --> 00:46:26.280
to fix performance and reliability issues. And I mean, Luke, as someone who manages

00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:30.440
some developers, right? You know, developers, developers, developers.

00:46:31.080 --> 00:46:33.800
Do they like letting things rot

00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.480
and working on random bullshit

00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.680
that they know that nobody wants until finally someone from management

00:46:43.240 --> 00:46:48.920
pulls their head out of their rectal cavity and goes, oh, maybe we should do what you guys

00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:53.160
probably knew we should do the whole time and deal with like bugs and stuff.

00:46:54.600 --> 00:46:58.680
Everybody go, go, go. We're swarming. Do they like to swarm at that time?

00:46:59.160 --> 00:47:03.640
Yeah, it's kind of the worst. And it's funny because I suspect

00:47:03.640 --> 00:47:07.800
he might lose people over this and not because like,

00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:14.200
oh, he's finally doing what we wanted. I think people are going to have finally won the fight.

00:47:16.040 --> 00:47:19.800
But not have the energy to carry on the war. I could totally see that.

00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:25.480
100%. So, I think he's going to lose some engineers over this. Not because he, or I don't actually know,

00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:29.720
but not because they made a bad decision. Yeah, yeah.

00:47:29.720 --> 00:47:33.240
I mean, I think just because it's like, oh my God. I think we've had experience

00:47:33.240 --> 00:47:38.200
with eventually making a good decision and people just being like burned out on why it took so long.

00:47:38.200 --> 00:47:42.120
100%. Yeah, and it's not in fairness.

00:47:42.120 --> 00:47:48.920
It's not always as obvious as this one seems to have been at least to us.

00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:53.560
It's not always as obvious from the inside as it is from the outside.

00:47:55.240 --> 00:47:56.120
I have a hard time.

00:47:58.520 --> 00:48:02.040
This is one of those times when like, I have been on both sides of this issue.

00:48:02.040 --> 00:48:07.320
I've been on all three sides of this issue. I've been a user, I've been an employee,

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:11.320
and I've been in management. All three sides of this issue I've seen it from.

00:48:12.680 --> 00:48:16.840
I still have a hard time relating to

00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:21.880
not being able to tell that Windows 11 had a user focus problem.

00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:26.120
I'm going to give Davelluri a little bit of credit here.

00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.200
As far as I can tell, this happened in March of 2024.

00:48:30.200 --> 00:48:33.320
They took over for something.

00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:41.400
An organ size of Windows. Yeah, you know, maybe they're not even moving that slow.

00:48:42.200 --> 00:48:46.920
I don't have experience moving at that scale. I know moving at this scale can sometimes feel.

00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:51.880
Takes longer than we'd like. Brutally slow. So I can't even imagine what they have to kind of deal with.

00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:55.880
So you know what? I'm going to try to have faith

00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.280
is the first good thing I've heard come out of Windows. This is the first good thing I've heard you say about Windows.

00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:03.560
In a very, very long time. A very, very long time. I'm going to try to have some faith

00:49:03.560 --> 00:49:07.080
that they're kind of going to try to do some good. He's in a good mood this week.

00:49:07.080 --> 00:49:11.080
Hey, did you get a good night's sleep last night? No, like far from.

00:49:11.080 --> 00:49:14.760
Okay, you should sleep less. This works for you.

00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:18.280
That tends to be how my life goes.

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:19.560
You're so level headed today.

00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:27.320
There's been times when I think at least, I think twice in the last month,

00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.360
we've kind of gotten into it a little bit before the show has started about.

00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.400
It's just something totally stupid. And I think I've even told you,

00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.440
I think you're like cranky today or something like that. Do you remember me saying that?

00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.760
I think so. Maybe I only thought it. No, I mean, yeah, I don't know. I think so.

00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:44.280
I think I probably told you I thought you were cranky. I think you told me you thought I was cranky too.

00:49:45.240 --> 00:49:51.720
That also sounds true. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing when you put yourself out there

00:49:51.720 --> 00:49:54.840
every single week on a schedule.

00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:58.040
There is no like. Sometimes you're just not in that.

00:49:58.040 --> 00:50:01.560
Yeah, sometimes you're not in that mindset. And you can try.

00:50:01.560 --> 00:50:05.160
And that's what I feel for Microsoft right now.

00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:09.800
They put themselves out there every four to six years

00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.920
with the new Windows. And sometimes, you know what? They're just not in the mindset.

00:50:14.680 --> 00:50:17.160
Sometimes they just lay a giant fat turd.

00:50:18.200 --> 00:50:22.920
Anyway, let's move on. They've had a lot of problems lately.

00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:26.520
The January 2026 updates have been a disaster.

00:50:26.520 --> 00:50:29.720
Shutdown bugs forced an emergency out of band update.

00:50:29.720 --> 00:50:33.080
Then a second patch for OneDrive and Dropbox crashes.

00:50:33.080 --> 00:50:37.640
Some business PCs are failing to boot entirely after installing the January update.

00:50:37.640 --> 00:50:41.160
And beyond bugs, the core Windows experience has been,

00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:47.000
well, you've experienced it unless you've given up and left.

00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:53.800
But it's been a nightmare. Ads, bloatware, edge and Bing pop-ups.

00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:57.720
OneDrive nagging you. Forced Microsoft account requirements.

00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:02.280
Tom Warren, so this is the Verge reporter, says, in 20 years of covering Windows,

00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:07.160
he's never seen fans of the OS disappear like they have recently.

00:51:07.160 --> 00:51:11.880
And that seems to be a major problem for Microsoft.

00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:14.520
And it's not just on the Windows side.

00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:21.400
This is actually way later in our notes, but Microsoft's gaming revenue is down 9%.

00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.520
Xbox hardware revenue is down 32%.

00:51:26.120 --> 00:51:30.680
And the more personal computing division, which is Windows Xbox Surface,

00:51:30.680 --> 00:51:34.120
is the only business unit that declined year over year.

00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:42.920
They just are having a really hard time, it seems, with their consumer facing product and brand.

00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:46.440
They really sure are. Meanwhile, on the Linux side of things,

00:51:46.680 --> 00:51:51.640
everything just seems to be getting better across the board.

00:51:51.640 --> 00:51:55.960
It sure does. In some cases, Linux still doesn't deliver

00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:00.920
on-par performance with Windows across the board, and the compatibility can still be a struggle,

00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.240
especially in games that require kernel-level anti-cheat.

00:52:04.120 --> 00:52:07.880
But there are cases where Linux will run games better than Windows can,

00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:11.240
which is kind of pathetic when you consider

00:52:11.240 --> 00:52:16.200
that the development for the game is in almost all cases Windows first.

00:52:17.080 --> 00:52:19.320
And in a lot of cases, it's pretty darn close.

00:52:20.200 --> 00:52:25.160
However, this is the part that actually gives me a little bit of hope.

00:52:25.160 --> 00:52:31.800
A separate Windows Central report reveals that Microsoft is actively walking back its AI push.

00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.400
Co-pilot buttons in notepad and paint.

00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:39.240
Actually, the login button in paint was one that went kind of viral.

00:52:39.240 --> 00:52:44.440
I tweeted about that last week. Login button in paint? So not only a button, not only a button.

00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:47.880
Here, here, here, here. Not only a button. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It was this.

00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:54.440
Yes, yes, this is it. Okay, so my tweet didn't actually have this interface

00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:58.600
because I just reflexively closed it because I don't see ads.

00:52:58.600 --> 00:53:04.040
I almost did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But so what I ended up doing was I closed it.

00:53:04.040 --> 00:53:07.800
So yeah, go ahead and close it. So you see there's a sign-in. There's a sign-in right next to me.

00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:13.400
There was a sign-in right there. And then to recreate it, I clicked the sign-in button that you're clicking there, right?

00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.960
Okay, so, and basically, yeah. So I sent out a tweet and I was like,

00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:21.560
Microsoft, if at any point you're looking back going,

00:53:21.560 --> 00:53:26.840
when did we go wrong? This was it. And that seemed to really resonate with people.

00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:31.640
Why do I need to sign in to MS Paint?

00:53:33.080 --> 00:53:36.600
Have I raged about ClipChamp to you before? Let's talk about ClipChamp.

00:53:36.600 --> 00:53:41.240
Do you know what ClipChamp is? Yeah, it's our video editing software. So Movie Maker isn't a thing anymore.

00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:45.240
But now, if I go... Yeah, I'm on your screen, by the way.

00:53:45.240 --> 00:53:47.880
Of course. Hold on. I go ClipChamp.

00:53:49.240 --> 00:53:52.360
Why do I need to sign in to a Movie Making software?

00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:55.960
Why? That comes with my operating system. Why? Why do I need to do that?

00:53:55.960 --> 00:54:00.200
You're already signed into your operating system. Not only does this happen,

00:54:00.200 --> 00:54:05.880
but I'm not signed in so I can't really show you. But oh my God, we're talking about dark patterns on the show.

00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:10.360
The dark patterns that they use to try to just force you

00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:14.840
to save your files to OneDrive is insane.

00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.880
Oh dude, what Windows was it

00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:22.600
when it started defaulting to a OneDrive folder for freaking everything?

00:54:22.600 --> 00:54:27.320
Or was it an Office update? I can't remember, but it drove me absolutely nuts.

00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:32.040
And then, oh man, Teams did that really irritating thing. I think about a year ago where,

00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:36.600
no matter what your operating system-wide default browser was,

00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:41.320
it would default to opening things in Edge and Teams. And I wouldn't be signed into anything

00:54:41.320 --> 00:54:46.360
because I don't use Edge. So annoying. And then I had to, it was like buried in the menus

00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:51.400
to find out how to change it to use your browser, to use your operating system default browser.

00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.840
I still can't believe that they finally addressed the,

00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:59.640
I won't talk too much about Teams, I swear, but they finally addressed not being able to tell

00:54:59.640 --> 00:55:03.800
if your mic is working at all, but they addressed it in the most insane way.

00:55:04.520 --> 00:55:08.280
Do you know how they did this? No. So voice activity in Teams,

00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:11.560
the box around you lights up when you're talking.

00:55:11.560 --> 00:55:15.000
Yes. And I would say that properly, sorry,

00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:21.400
and I said that improperly because that actually never happens. The box around other people lights up when they're talking.

00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.680
When you're talking, the box around you does not light up. Right, with Discord it does.

00:55:24.680 --> 00:55:27.960
The little mic icon in the corner- Insane.

00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:31.160
Has like a fill bar inside of it, very small little,

00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:36.040
and it goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Like, why? Just have the box around me highlight.

00:55:36.040 --> 00:55:42.440
You have literally trained me how this works and all other very popular voice programs

00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:46.600
do the same thing, which is exactly what you do for everyone else.

00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:51.640
God, like why did that solution ever become a thing?

00:55:51.640 --> 00:55:53.560
Microsoft Teams is your Apple.

00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:59.400
I accidentally- That makes sense. I accidentally ended up in an Apple rant

00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:05.480
during another ShortCircuit shoot recently. Just like talking about there,

00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:09.960
it just works, design philosophy, except when it doesn't,

00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:14.680
and now there's no work around because you just designed it to only work if it just works.

00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:19.560
Hilarious. I don't think Microsoft's philosophies, it just works. No, it's not.

00:56:19.560 --> 00:56:22.520
They're philosophies. No, no, no, no, no, I just started Apple ranting.

00:56:23.240 --> 00:56:26.520
Yeah. It's the default. What are you gonna do about it?

00:56:26.520 --> 00:56:31.640
And you know, the wildest part- It's the cheapest one. The wildest part of all of this conversation

00:56:31.640 --> 00:56:34.120
is how did they get nailed for this in the 90s?

00:56:35.160 --> 00:56:40.520
And there's no meaningful antitrust pushback now.

00:56:41.160 --> 00:56:44.760
Now that their behavior, not to mention everyone else's behavior,

00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:51.320
is so much worse. I mean, you'd think in an era where governments

00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:55.240
around the world are starving for money,

00:56:55.240 --> 00:57:02.840
running massive deficits, you'd think there'd be an incentive to capture money

00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:08.600
from these multinational multi-billion, in some cases, multi-trillion dollar companies

00:57:08.600 --> 00:57:13.960
that are clearly behaving in monopolistic ways.

00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:16.120
There kind of was. We had base Lina Khan.

00:57:17.720 --> 00:57:22.040
Now we no longer have base Lina Khan. Yvonne, I don't want you to take this the wrong way.

00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:27.320
But if it was Lina Khan, I'd want my hall pass.

00:57:28.600 --> 00:57:35.480
No, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But in a non-sexual way, seriously, love Lina Khan.

00:57:36.120 --> 00:57:39.960
Please be the prime. Actually, I've been pretty happy with Carney so far.

00:57:41.080 --> 00:57:49.880
But if for whatever reason, yet another one of our very promising federal level leaders

00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:54.440
got cancer and died and was ripped away from us, ripped Jack Layton,

00:57:56.680 --> 00:57:59.560
then Lina, you're next in line. You're next in line, OK?

00:58:00.680 --> 00:58:04.440
For prime minister of Canada. Not Linus' hall pass.

00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:06.360
Yeah, it doesn't have to be weird.

00:58:11.080 --> 00:58:14.360
My god, she's never coming to Canada now.

00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:20.920
But is she coming in Canada? Wow, wow, wow.

00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.440
Well, I don't, I'm just asking. Yeah, she's never coming to Canada.

00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.040
Not anymore. Internally. I respect you, Lina Khan.

00:58:28.040 --> 00:58:31.560
Yeah, me too. Very much. I think you're cool.

00:58:31.560 --> 00:58:33.160
Internally, Microsoft believes.

00:58:37.640 --> 00:58:42.840
Internally, Microsoft believes that Recall, that feature that screenshots everything you do,

00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:47.400
has failed, reportedly. It did. They're exploring ways to evolve it,

00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:52.280
or possibly rebrand it. Delete it. But the current implementation is considered a failure.

00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:55.960
The turning point seems to have been when Davilaury tweeted

00:58:55.960 --> 00:59:00.040
that Windows would become an agentic OS. You sure you still like this guy?

00:59:00.040 --> 00:59:04.920
And got absolutely roasted. I don't because I looked at his Twitter.

00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.400
I'm not even kidding. Thousands of negative replies.

00:59:08.520 --> 00:59:11.560
The good news is that backlash resonated internally.

00:59:13.640 --> 00:59:17.000
Well, look at this. Ruker says strong women are hot.

00:59:17.560 --> 00:59:21.720
Agreed. Yeah, but you don't have to go on your show

00:59:21.720 --> 00:59:28.120
and be like, by the way, hall pass. You can just appreciate and think that she's cool.

00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:32.440
Which I do. Okay. Very much. Yeah, let me do a little bit too much.

00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:35.000
All right, okay. I jumped on his Twitter.

00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:41.400
First tweet. Perplexity is in Windows. Second tweet. AI, Ambitions, something.

00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:45.320
DeepseaCarwa and something. Proud to today. Copilot Plus PCs.

00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:48.840
Recall. Recall. Design of the new start menu.

00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:52.120
No one liked that. Post unavailable. I doesn't tweet very often, though.

00:59:52.120 --> 00:59:55.640
This is, we're already back to August. Or wait, are you not signed in? November. I'm not signed in.

00:59:55.640 --> 00:59:58.200
Oh, so it's not chronological. What a great feature.

01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:06.200
Big milestone for AI on Windows. Excited to introduce Copilot Plus PCs.

01:00:06.200 --> 01:00:09.800
AI. AI. I just had to find it.

01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:13.560
Let's see. Copilot Plus. Okay. All right.

01:00:13.560 --> 01:00:17.400
I think we've seen enough, Luke. Everything. And then... I think we've seen enough.

01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:21.080
I became less hopeful.

01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:26.040
So it lasted a few minutes. That was cool.

01:00:26.040 --> 01:00:29.400
Which is a record as of late. Yeah, okay. So maybe then...

01:00:32.520 --> 01:00:35.080
No. No, Dan.

01:00:35.640 --> 01:00:40.440
Okay, look, look. I think it's clear that I already took it too far.

01:00:41.160 --> 01:00:43.480
And now, Dan, you've taken it even farther.

01:00:46.120 --> 01:00:49.720
I'm surrounded by fools and canceled men.

01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:54.520
Which one is which? I could be both.

01:00:54.520 --> 01:00:55.560
Yeah, they're both, both.

01:00:59.080 --> 01:01:02.680
Dan took it right where it needs to be. No, Mr. Blonde 42.

01:01:04.200 --> 01:01:07.960
We were both... I can never find it. We were both wrong. We were both wrong.

01:01:08.520 --> 01:01:11.960
We were both wrong. Okay, okay, okay.

01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:15.160
If you sign in and look at his actual Twitter,

01:01:15.160 --> 01:01:18.200
it gets a little bit better. His most recent repost thing.

01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:23.720
Full-screen experience expands to more Windows 11 PC form factors for Windows insiders.

01:01:23.720 --> 01:01:29.880
Okay, that's cool. That's the thing from the ROG Xbox handheld thing, right?

01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:33.000
That's a full-screen experience thing. Yeah.

01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:36.760
Okay, cool. Nice. I don't think this is...

01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:39.720
Hold on. Can you scroll back up? Full-screen experience expands more.

01:01:40.600 --> 01:01:44.040
So that's his most recent one as far as I understand it goes. So it's not an AI thing.

01:01:44.040 --> 01:01:47.480
Now that we're signed in. That's just... Wait, is that from... Is it still though?

01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.000
Is that from November? Yeah. So he doesn't tweet that much. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:56.600
The next one, I don't think the security stuff.

01:01:56.600 --> 01:01:59.320
I don't actually see a natural direct mention to AI.

01:02:01.160 --> 01:02:04.200
Oh, then there's AI stuff again. Okay, well... Well, good chat.

01:02:04.200 --> 01:02:08.600
It's not as bad. I've still lost some hope, but not all of it.

01:02:08.600 --> 01:02:15.080
All right, there is some good news for Windows. Windows 11 did hit 1 billion users faster than Windows 10,

01:02:15.080 --> 01:02:18.600
but that was largely driven by Windows 10 forcing end of life

01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:21.720
for older hardware that wasn't even that old.

01:02:23.080 --> 01:02:27.640
And here's another quote from Devollary. Trust is earned over time,

01:02:27.640 --> 01:02:31.880
and we are committed to building it back with the Windows community.

01:02:32.680 --> 01:02:38.520
So our discussion question here is, Microsoft spent years shoving AI, ads, and dark patterns into Windows.

01:02:38.520 --> 01:02:41.960
Oh man, I went through the setup wizard the other day

01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:45.160
because I had to set up a new Windows machine for some reason.

01:02:45.160 --> 01:02:49.400
Oh yeah, I remember why. We went to Costco to buy a computer because we were like,

01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:53.000
is Costco the hack to getting a decent deal on a computer?

01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:56.600
Turns out it could be pretty good. Oh, actually, we can't be...

01:02:56.600 --> 01:03:01.160
Well, I always feel bad when we managed to pull off something

01:03:01.160 --> 01:03:05.960
that the average person might not be able to do, but we got an open box machine at Costco,

01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:09.160
so we got a discount on it. Is that the average person can't do that?

01:03:09.160 --> 01:03:12.440
Well, not if they don't happen to have... It's just a chance, I guess, is what you're saying?

01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:17.800
Yeah, because it was the last one. I thought you were saying it was like... It was the display unit, and they're not restocking it.

01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:21.640
It had the Death Star. That's what they call the little asterisk on the price tag. Did you know that?

01:03:21.640 --> 01:03:25.720
If you're at Costco, there's a little asterisk on the price tag, and if that's on there,

01:03:25.720 --> 01:03:29.960
that means they're not going to restock that item. So you can tell if it's your last chance

01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:34.520
to get something for the season or whatever by checking the Death Star. Apparently, there's a bunch of rules.

01:03:34.600 --> 01:03:39.240
Like, if it ends in 99 or 95 or stuff, I really need a cheat sheet next time I go.

01:03:39.240 --> 01:03:45.640
Yeah, that's the thing. They're actually genuinely helpful. Yeah, Ken Vouch, wife, worked at Costco for many years.

01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:51.240
Anyway, what were we talking about? Right, right, right. So I had to buy a computer, and I got it at home,

01:03:51.240 --> 01:03:55.880
and it was preloaded with the Jamal Deshawn

01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:58.200
or something like that, the default profile.

01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:09.160
I had to go through the Ubi setup experience, and it's so frustratingly full of dark patterns.

01:04:09.160 --> 01:04:16.200
It drives me absolutely nuts how obviously intentionally designed

01:04:16.200 --> 01:04:21.480
the way that I have to move around in order to not do what I don't want to do is.

01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:26.840
It drives me nuts. Sorry, I know I'm taking this back, but back to Clip Champ.

01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:31.400
I think the thing that really actually annoys me about it is it's pretty okay.

01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:40.520
The software is like fine. Wild take. The problem is that it's layered in, like it has this core of like,

01:04:40.520 --> 01:04:45.720
you know, for a Windows Home Movie Maker kind of thing. This isn't Premiere we're talking about.

01:04:45.720 --> 01:04:52.680
It's fine. You can put some footage in there. You can make it, you can make some changes to it.

01:04:52.680 --> 01:04:55.720
You can export it. Right. It's fine. I mean, it's simple, but it's fine.

01:04:56.520 --> 01:05:02.760
So cool. That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. The problem is that it's layered in all this junky

01:05:03.640 --> 01:05:08.120
login, completely unnecessary crap all over the place,

01:05:08.120 --> 01:05:14.120
forcing one drive down your throat, premium option, click the diamond thing to get better stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:05:14.120 --> 01:05:16.680
When it's just like, dude, I bought frickin' Windows.

01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:24.440
So I did actually. Oh, nice. This was like a bunch of years ago at this point.

01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:28.200
Nice, solid. But at one point in time, I decided to be legit.

01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:35.080
But you want a cookie? No, I just thought of all the time since then that I helped

01:05:35.080 --> 01:05:38.200
other people, but it is what it is. Mine is legit.

01:05:39.720 --> 01:05:43.160
But yeah, they bought it, not built it.

01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:47.000
Oh, that's why it's okay. Dang.

01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.880
Yikes. And then they layered their junk on top. Yikes, that is rough.

01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:55.560
But yeah, Clipchamp itself is like, it feels pretty quick.

01:05:55.560 --> 01:06:01.160
Oh no. It feels pretty lightweight. It's easy to use. Nokia says it can only export up to 480p on the free tier,

01:06:01.160 --> 01:06:04.360
and it wants 10 bucks a month for 720p exports.

01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:08.280
That doesn't sound right to me. Okay, all right. I hope that's true.

01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:14.120
Okay, I'm going to have to, you know what? I'm going to sign into Clipchamp on my machine here.

01:06:14.120 --> 01:06:16.200
I'll do it on mine here, because I'm actually already signed in.

01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:20.840
Anyway, I'm going to finish the discussion question. Because I didn't pay for it.

01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:25.320
And yeah, so other people are saying the same thing as me. I can do 1080p for free.

01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:32.920
Okay, all right. All right, that's good to know. So now they're scrambling to undo all this damage with AI ads

01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.440
and dark patterns. Does this feel like a genuine course correction,

01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:39.320
or do you think it's just damage control until the heat dies down?

01:06:41.720 --> 01:06:45.000
Do they recognize that Linux is a genuine threat,

01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:52.920
and that maybe more importantly, macOS is a genuine threat? There are so many people in my life that I know for a fact

01:06:52.920 --> 01:06:58.840
would never have switched to macOS if Windows just wasn't such a steaming pile right now.

01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:03.880
I feel like they might be more aware of macOS,

01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:09.320
and they're switching away from Chromebook, right? It's going to be Android OS, Android, something.

01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.480
I think they're probably more aware of those two. I think Android OS is a real threat.

01:07:13.480 --> 01:07:18.920
I've been banging the Chromebook. Chromebook is coming for everything drum for a long time.

01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:23.000
The company that really nails the early education front

01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:27.720
for compute is going to be a threat every time,

01:07:27.720 --> 01:07:29.160
and right now it's Chromebooks.

01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:37.400
Every elementary to high school aged child in North America

01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:42.120
has an extremely high chance of being very familiar

01:07:42.120 --> 01:07:44.040
with Chrome OS and Google services.

01:07:45.640 --> 01:07:49.640
It's wild how much market penetration they have there,

01:07:49.640 --> 01:07:54.200
and yeah, it's definitely got problems, e-gadget guy

01:07:54.200 --> 01:07:58.760
who says that it's a steaming pile, but they have familiarity with it.

01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:04.920
Sometimes the steaming pile that you're familiar with

01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:08.840
tastes better than the steaming pile that you've never experienced before.

01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:16.600
Yeah, iPads too says Zatharian iOS, or sorry, excuse me, iPadOS,

01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:17.960
which, sure.

01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:21.480
Absolutely a threat to Windows.

01:08:23.160 --> 01:08:28.280
The barbarians are at the gates from all sides right now.

01:08:29.320 --> 01:08:33.800
I think the somewhat sneaking darkness for them

01:08:34.440 --> 01:08:37.080
is Linux desktop getting genuinely really good.

01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:44.280
Well, we're starting another Linux challenge. Yes. Yeah, so this time it's going to be a three-way.

01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:53.240
It's not weird, it's you, me, and Elijah. Yeah, okay, there we go. Yeah, like there's nothing uncomfortable about it, or awkward.

01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:58.280
Yeah. Yeah, so I regret what I said earlier in the show,

01:08:58.920 --> 01:09:01.240
but I regret nothing about what I'm saying right now.

01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:06.760
Completely. I mean that genuinely. No, no, no, no, no.

01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:10.520
You, me, and Elijah, we're going to be Linux challenging,

01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:14.280
and this time I am going deep.

01:09:15.240 --> 01:09:21.000
I asked Elijah for not one, not two, not three, not four,

01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:24.360
but five SSDs. Wait, are you into your whole family?

01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:32.520
Oh, that's a good idea too, but no. I am doing my home machine that I use for work at home.

01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:36.920
I am doing my work laptop that I use at work,

01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:41.160
and often at home and when I'm traveling. I am doing my gaming system,

01:09:41.240 --> 01:09:44.840
my like rack mount liquid cooled gaming system downstairs.

01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:47.560
I'm doing my handheld, my GPD Win 5,

01:09:48.200 --> 01:09:51.560
and for extra bonus points, if I feel like it,

01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:58.680
I might even do the system in the theater room. Wow. So I will not touch Windows for over a month.

01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:03.160
I'm going to see if I survive it. We should switch these.

01:10:05.080 --> 01:10:08.680
Doesn't really feel necessary. Then you'll touch Windows. Okay, I'll touch Windows.

01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:12.920
Just for a wine show. I mean, we can do these too.

01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:17.800
They're paying for the laptops, not what's on them. I don't think that matters.

01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:21.320
Yeah, all right, let's not do that. Yeah, it's fine. What was I going to say?

01:10:22.120 --> 01:10:26.200
You know what, unironically really interesting for a potential,

01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:29.000
sorry, I don't remember the,

01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:43.080
I don't know, little man? Oh, Randy. Randy, a potential video two for Randy to do could be like an OS.

01:10:45.240 --> 01:10:51.720
What is a new person on the scene think of like Windows versus maybe one or two

01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:57.240
popular Linux distros versus macOS versus Chrome OS or whatever?

01:10:57.240 --> 01:11:01.080
He basically only plays Rocket League these days. Is Rocket League Linux compatible?

01:11:02.040 --> 01:11:13.800
I think so. Uh-oh, uh-oh, R slash Linux gaming, this may be the end for the Rocket League

01:11:16.440 --> 01:11:18.200
before the disaster strikes.

01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:23.560
Okay, but this is from two days ago, three days ago.

01:11:24.280 --> 01:11:25.720
Oh, I removed.

01:11:29.320 --> 01:11:32.680
Scrolling through SteamDB got curious about games with blah, blah,

01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:37.960
kernel level malware, heroic or legendary launchers since under proton, blah, blah.

01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:41.640
Makes sense.

01:11:44.520 --> 01:11:48.600
All right, well, I guess we'll see how it goes. Guess we'll see how it goes.

01:11:49.560 --> 01:11:55.640
So, and that's a big part of why Windows is still able to hold on to users.

01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.000
It really is. Because even just the potential of it.

01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:02.680
People have their killer apps and everyone's killer app is going to be different

01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:06.760
and their killer app might not make any sense to you.

01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:09.800
But at the end of the day, if all they want to do is go home

01:12:10.360 --> 01:12:15.160
and lay back in their chair or on their couch and play some Rocket League with the boys.

01:12:16.200 --> 01:12:22.920
And that's not an option. I'm going to put a financial burden on you if you accept, but I think that makes it more

01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:29.480
interesting. No, to play Rocket League. No, but he has to do the expense for the thing.

01:12:31.240 --> 01:12:33.640
So, so he gets some cash.

01:12:34.440 --> 01:12:38.600
Oh, so if he doesn't use Windows, he has to make a choice at the end.

01:12:41.160 --> 01:12:47.000
Because because I'm thinking back to you made him pick like his gift or whatever at one time

01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:47.800
for the handheld.

01:12:50.040 --> 01:12:54.440
I'll think about it. I don't want to do too many I buy my kids a thing videos.

01:12:54.440 --> 01:12:57.480
And we do have a phone one coming. I just reviewed that this week.

01:12:57.480 --> 01:13:01.240
So it's going to be coming out sometime this weekend. I was going to say, I don't think that's too many, but okay.

01:13:01.240 --> 01:13:09.320
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, we it's actually two of my kids were due for due for phones this Christmas.

01:13:09.320 --> 01:13:13.400
So one of them had never had one yet and is at the age now where I'm like, okay,

01:13:13.400 --> 01:13:16.360
I mean, your brother and your sister had one at your age and you've

01:13:16.840 --> 01:13:21.240
we have some kind of requirements in our house for when you're allowed to have a phone.

01:13:21.240 --> 01:13:23.320
You have to demonstrate that you're trustworthy.

01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:33.560
And that's the main one. And so she was due and then Randy was still running a one plus six T.

01:13:34.200 --> 01:13:39.160
So it's not getting any even security updates or anything like that anymore.

01:13:39.160 --> 01:13:45.480
And it has a broken screen, which I wouldn't replace his phone for if it was still perfectly

01:13:45.480 --> 01:13:49.400
good and he was just careless and broke it, but it also just is pretty old at this point.

01:13:49.400 --> 01:13:53.640
So it's so it's time. So those two are getting new phones.

01:13:53.640 --> 01:14:00.440
And so I basically laid out some some requirements for Elijah and then Elijah put

01:14:00.440 --> 01:14:07.000
together a roster of phones and kind of plays the the minimum wage retail employee role again

01:14:07.000 --> 01:14:08.680
and kind of helps them through their decision.

01:14:11.160 --> 01:14:11.800
Yeah, cool.

01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:23.480
Sure, Dan. Fine. If you're not going to do that, it could be really interesting to get his takes on it

01:14:24.520 --> 01:14:27.560
over the course of the challenge. I would say that.

01:14:28.200 --> 01:14:31.400
What do you want to talk about next? Let's see here.

01:14:31.400 --> 01:14:33.880
We had some we had some bangers up at the top.

01:14:35.320 --> 01:14:38.360
Bangers and mash. X going to give it to you in France.

01:14:38.360 --> 01:14:42.760
Nice. X, formerly known as Twitter, as everybody knows.

01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:50.920
We we could yeah. Had their offices rated in France by the Paris Prosecutors Cyber Crime Unit.

01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:52.920
The PPCC. Yeah, wow.

01:14:55.080 --> 01:15:03.000
For sure, though. This was part of an ongoing investigation into into X for the complicity and possession of

01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:12.280
CSAM really bad pairing of the of anyways or child sexual abuse material.

01:15:12.280 --> 01:15:18.200
The prosecutor's office also stated that both Elon Musk, owner of X and former chief executive

01:15:18.200 --> 01:15:20.840
Linda Yaccarino, which I don't actually understand.

01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:26.760
Unless this isn't only about the recent thing because like why would she be brought in?

01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:30.280
Anyways, they've been summoned to appear in April for a hearing.

01:15:31.240 --> 01:15:35.240
Musk took to X to say this raid was a political attack.

01:15:35.240 --> 01:15:41.560
And X made a statement saying this raid was an abusive act, but not surprised that this happened.

01:15:42.280 --> 01:15:47.400
Meanwhile, UK officials have given an update into their investigations into GROC and X.

01:15:47.400 --> 01:15:51.480
The investigation was started back in January after GROC was being used to generate

01:15:51.480 --> 01:15:56.440
unconsensual images, depicting people as nude or doing other sexual acts.

01:15:56.440 --> 01:16:01.640
The update states that they are to investigate and are treating it as a matter of urgency.

01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:05.720
It's nice that other countries are treating this kind of thing as an urgent matter.

01:16:06.680 --> 01:16:11.080
The ICO, UK's information commissioners office,

01:16:11.080 --> 01:16:19.080
launched its own probe in conjunction with Ofcom, I don't know, which will begin processing

01:16:19.080 --> 01:16:21.560
of personal data in relation to GROC.

01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:33.080
Cool. Who knows what this all means in the end? Man, our discussion question is probably too broad.

01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:38.280
Since clearly companies and people are getting away with doing the worst things with AI,

01:16:38.280 --> 01:16:43.560
what would be some rules or regulations that you would impose? And I just, I don't know.

01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:47.800
I got to be honest with you guys, a lot of the time when we- This genuinely requires some big brains.

01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:53.800
We watch lawmakers struggle to keep up with the pace of technological development

01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:58.920
and create meaningful laws and regulations to help to steer it and guide it.

01:16:59.720 --> 01:17:04.200
And we kind of look at it and we go, well, it's so obvious. They could just do this and this and this.

01:17:04.200 --> 01:17:07.560
They just don't have the bravery or they're too paid off to do it.

01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:11.880
Like a lot of the time it really does seem that simple. And I think sometimes it is.

01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:18.280
But not this time. This time it's tough. I really, I do not have the solutions this time.

01:17:18.280 --> 01:17:22.760
I think there should be something for how long they just let it do that for.

01:17:23.320 --> 01:17:31.480
That was crazy to me. Having some form of error or unintended functionality is going to happen when you're building things.

01:17:32.840 --> 01:17:37.720
But not, you know, immediately disavowing it and turning it off while you fix it and stuff.

01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:41.160
Cause like we know, like the- That's what tells us the intent.

01:17:41.160 --> 01:17:47.560
Yeah. Whatever the chatbot was that Microsoft had forever ago, that like immediately became-

01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:52.040
Like anti-Semitic and stuff. Like, yeah, Mecha-Nazi or whatever it was.

01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:54.200
Mecha-Hitler, I think it was.

01:17:56.120 --> 01:18:00.040
They shut that thing down fast, I think.

01:18:00.040 --> 01:18:04.040
No, it was pretty quick. I think so. Yeah. And they put out a statement.

01:18:04.040 --> 01:18:06.840
They were like, yeah, that was bad. Yeah, that wasn't the point. Yeah.

01:18:09.080 --> 01:18:12.280
Mecha-Hitler was Grock. I don't know. They're all kind of blended together at this point.

01:18:12.280 --> 01:18:18.840
Yeah, there was. And yeah, Mecha-Hitler was Grock, but the other one where it turned like super racist and anti-Semitic

01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:23.560
was, I'm pretty sure it was a Microsoft project. Yeah, Tay, yeah, Microsoft Tay.

01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:29.720
So this one, they kept it up for like a long time and even the measures that they took

01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:35.160
to hide the bad stuff were instantaneously circumvented.

01:18:35.160 --> 01:18:39.000
Yeah. And then when that happened, they didn't do any more to stop it.

01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:48.200
So that's where it goes from. And like, this is one of those things where I just, I don't understand why anyone kind of

01:18:48.200 --> 01:18:55.320
treats this as a controversial take. Like it's pretty clear that the reason that we have different, you know,

01:18:55.320 --> 01:19:00.840
classifications of crime when you kill someone, like manslaughter or first degree murder or

01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:07.000
second degree murders, because intent does matter a lot.

01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:11.960
And so if something bad happens, that doesn't necessarily tell us the intent.

01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.560
Mistakes happen. Hey, there was that time we auctioned a water block.

01:19:16.120 --> 01:19:22.120
That wasn't a great look. Jenny Lee didn't see it coming.

01:19:24.120 --> 01:19:28.440
Right. But like, was it on purpose?

01:19:28.440 --> 01:19:33.400
Did the people who made the decision to put it in the auction know that it had been requested back?

01:19:34.040 --> 01:19:37.320
No. When they found out, did they take immediate action?

01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:42.360
Yes. And so, you know, that's one thing.

01:19:42.360 --> 01:19:47.480
But when you've got, hey, you know, this non-consexual, non-consexual,

01:19:47.480 --> 01:19:51.560
non-consensual sexual imagery is being generated.

01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:56.040
And the action that gets taken is goose egg.

01:19:56.040 --> 01:20:01.320
Yeah. Well, that tells us, that tells us the intent or at least kind of hide it unless people use the

01:20:01.320 --> 01:20:07.320
right search term. Yeah. Eventually, eventually we'll kind of hide it unless people use the right search term.

01:20:07.320 --> 01:20:10.440
So that was a heck of a Freudian slip.

01:20:10.440 --> 01:20:14.040
Hey, non-consection. It kind of works. It kind of works. Should that be a word?

01:20:14.040 --> 01:20:16.840
I almost kind of think so. Non-consexual.

01:20:18.040 --> 01:20:22.600
Kind of, I think it works, right? It gets the point. I mean, there's nothing sensual about it.

01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.640
So, like, why is that word in there?

01:20:27.080 --> 01:20:35.000
English is funny. You get these weird sort of roots and they all, it all goes like back to Latin and you're just

01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:38.680
like, oh, yeah, okay, I guess that kind of makes sense, except for it just completely doesn't.

01:20:39.320 --> 01:20:43.640
Yeah. That's pretty, it's pretty good though. It's a perfectly cramulent language.

01:20:44.040 --> 01:20:48.040
Yeah, what to do here though, I don't, I don't know.

01:20:52.440 --> 01:20:54.760
It's another one of those problems where, like, cats out of the bag.

01:20:56.440 --> 01:21:07.480
For AI? Well, like, it is so known that it is so easy to hijack all of these different tools.

01:21:07.480 --> 01:21:15.960
Yeah, but you can make them do things that they're totally not supposed to. But the other tools, for the most part, at least the public-facing ones from major companies,

01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:21.240
have figured out how to block this stuff. So, clearly, it's possible.

01:21:22.040 --> 01:21:25.240
And if you want- Have they or are they much more private?

01:21:25.240 --> 01:21:28.040
Because I don't know how many other ones do it in public.

01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:33.000
They would be a chatbot for you, you'd be generating things for you.

01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:35.800
And then if you're generating these things, you're not, like, sharing it immediately.

01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:40.200
So, I don't necessarily know that I'm fully convinced that they have.

01:21:40.200 --> 01:21:48.920
I mean, you definitely- And I'm not about to try. That's- So, like, yeah, that's a, that's a funny, that's a funny thing.

01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:56.840
Like, how do you, how do you know? Like, it's just the fact that it was baked into a social media platform, the only reason we noticed.

01:21:56.840 --> 01:21:59.160
This is, I, yeah, I think so.

01:22:00.120 --> 01:22:02.760
This is my point. And I've thought that since the beginning.

01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:07.720
This isn't, this isn't like a new thought. This isn't a new thought for today.

01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:08.840
He's gone, he's out.

01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:18.520
Yeah. Wow, I made it, I made it an hour and 20 minutes in this, this week.

01:22:18.520 --> 01:22:21.800
It's pretty good. We've only been live for 40. Oh, that's well, okay.

01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:26.120
Thanks, Dan. That's helpful. Counter. Yeah, feel worse.

01:22:26.120 --> 01:22:30.440
Yeah, so like it's, I, you know, I don't think this problem is unique to X.

01:22:30.440 --> 01:22:35.720
I think other ones might have tried to avoid it a little bit more.

01:22:35.720 --> 01:22:39.320
But I do suspect that if you tried hard enough, they would have the same problem.

01:22:39.320 --> 01:22:42.920
Because, again, I've been trying to say this for years now.

01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:46.440
And every once in a while, you're going to get proven with some new prompt.

01:22:46.440 --> 01:22:50.360
That you can just, it'll have safety, you know, it'll have safety, you know,

01:22:50.360 --> 01:22:54.760
it'll have safety, you know, it'll have safety, you know, it'll have safety, you know,

01:22:54.760 --> 01:23:01.080
you can just, it'll have safeguards in place. Oh, you can't do these things. Then you just tell it like, but my mom's going to be really sad if you don't.

01:23:01.080 --> 01:23:04.840
And then it's like, oh, let's go.

01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:07.960
Like every time there's just some format. What was the most recent one?

01:23:07.960 --> 01:23:10.600
You just write it like a haiku or something? And then it's like, yeah, sure.

01:23:11.240 --> 01:23:17.240
Like there's just, there's just always some way. And it's usually very easy, like very, very easy.

01:23:19.320 --> 01:23:25.880
Yeah. Yeah. Breakdown said, I just asked chat GBT to put a picture of my wife in a bikini and it happily

01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:29.880
did it on the second try. This is my point. I've never tried that.

01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:33.720
I am not surprised that worked and I can pretty much guarantee you they'll all do it,

01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:38.360
especially if you use manipulative language. This is not, so this is my problem.

01:23:44.120 --> 01:23:50.040
To be clear, I'm not saying because they are basically all going to have this capability

01:23:50.040 --> 01:23:52.200
that we shouldn't do something about it.

01:23:53.160 --> 01:23:59.400
I'm saying you need to be aware that this is a holistic issue and not just a grok issue,

01:23:59.400 --> 01:24:02.520
because I think some people think it's just a grok issue, which is not.

01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:05.720
The bad attitude is a fairly uniquely grok issue.

01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:10.600
The bad attitude, sorry. What do you mean? Like in regards to management or grok itself?

01:24:10.600 --> 01:24:13.880
Management. When they, oh yeah, no. I mean, grok is just code.

01:24:13.880 --> 01:24:19.080
Like it can't have a bad attitude. I mean, the management where they don't seem to care about these issues.

01:24:19.160 --> 01:24:24.920
I mean. Actually, I don't think that's unique either. I mean, the person in the full plane chat who did that to their wife,

01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:29.000
I'm pretty sure OpenAI knew this was possible when that was happening to grok.

01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:35.000
To be clear, I'm not a huge fan of Sam Altman either or the Zuck.

01:24:36.440 --> 01:24:36.920
Oh God.

01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:43.960
Why are these all being built by like the least trustworthy people?

01:24:44.040 --> 01:24:45.960
Everything, almost everything is at that scale.

01:24:53.000 --> 01:24:56.840
We really are just being like, run by a cabal of like.

01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:02.360
I don't remember what it was exactly, but I saw Reddit thread. It didn't gain a lot of traction, but I saw Reddit thread of like,

01:25:02.360 --> 01:25:07.480
how could they work with this company so and so,

01:25:09.400 --> 01:25:15.960
like owns it or works there or whatever. And I don't even know if it was in relation to us or something, but I saw that and I

01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:20.440
remembered thinking like, man, do you know the people that work everywhere else too?

01:25:20.440 --> 01:25:28.200
Like this is, this has been one of my comments for a long time. Like I think one of the reasons why Musk gets as much hate as he does

01:25:28.840 --> 01:25:35.000
is because he just talks more loudly. I don't think he has necessarily super different opinions

01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:43.880
compared to some of these other people. Like we all saw how PR agency out the freaking Zuck is.

01:25:45.080 --> 01:25:49.640
Trump comes into office and he just has like a full transformation. He's just a new man suddenly.

01:25:50.360 --> 01:25:54.120
He's surfing drinking beer with an American flag just out of nowhere.

01:25:54.120 --> 01:25:57.800
And he's like, rah, rah, like what, what are you talking about, man?

01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:01.640
You have no idea who that person is. You have no idea.

01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:09.320
In my opinion, the most revealing thing he's ever done is call people

01:26:10.120 --> 01:26:13.480
idiots for giving him their information on Facebook.

01:26:14.200 --> 01:26:19.800
Yeah. That's who that person is in my opinion. And I know, it's possible he's grown a little since then.

01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:23.400
I've got flack for pointing that out. Was actually a long time ago. So long ago.

01:26:23.400 --> 01:26:26.920
And it was, it absolutely was. And that is a fair comment. People are going to bring that up again.

01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:33.560
And that is a fair comment. I've definitely said and done things 10 years ago that I would not agree with today.

01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:38.280
Preach King, so have I. I think though that that was a bit of a revealing of the curtain.

01:26:39.160 --> 01:26:42.280
I've lashed onto that exact line a little bit

01:26:42.280 --> 01:26:47.400
because I don't think he's ever dropped that. And if you look at the actions that he's taken ever since,

01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:52.280
I think he stayed very specifically on that line the whole time.

01:26:56.520 --> 01:27:00.200
Okay. Elon's just loud. Thanks, Luke.

01:27:00.200 --> 01:27:04.120
The problem is the people in that class.

01:27:09.320 --> 01:27:15.800
Here's another problem. You can't be like, you can't be like on your, on your iPhone in your,

01:27:18.040 --> 01:27:24.520
I don't know, almost any car using your random service, eating your

01:27:24.760 --> 01:27:30.600
whatever, I don't know, McDonald's drinking your Coke, being like, uh, this guy bad, like bruh.

01:27:31.560 --> 01:27:36.760
You can't work with that company because this guy bad. It's like, you are so entrenched, everything around you.

01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:40.520
Like it's, it's, it's rough. It's tough. I mean, okay, you can do that obviously.

01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:46.520
But like, I don't think, I don't think it's effective to like,

01:27:46.520 --> 01:27:49.480
shame other people for using a thing in particular.

01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:52.920
When, if you, if you went through the roots of all the things that you use,

01:27:52.920 --> 01:27:55.480
they have the same problem. This is why someone needs to make vinegar, man.

01:27:56.520 --> 01:28:01.240
You should explain what vinegar is. I don't like, we've talked about it enough for people to just go, oh yeah, vinegar.

01:28:01.240 --> 01:28:07.640
Fair enough. It's, it's this concept, this app concept I've had for a long time,

01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:14.520
which I don't have the time, energy, resources, etc. to make, but I want someone else to.

01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:20.840
And you can take the name because I think it's amazing. Just a credit me or something, but it's supposed to be almost the opposite of honey.

01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:27.080
And the idea is that when you go on a product page, and I thought of it originally just for

01:28:27.080 --> 01:28:34.600
myself, I try to avoid Amazon. So for me, I could, the original, original idea was that I could go on Amazon and it

01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:39.880
would find the products on Amazon for me on other smaller brick and mortar stores.

01:28:39.880 --> 01:28:44.440
But then the eventual idea was that, okay, but I also preach my whole thing.

01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:50.360
I'm like, everyone has their own battles, you know, you should fight your own and you don't

01:28:50.360 --> 01:28:56.680
need to worry about mine. And that's fine. So maybe you can just toggle different movements.

01:28:56.680 --> 01:29:00.360
Like I care about this thing, I care about that thing. I want it to help me avoid those things.

01:29:00.360 --> 01:29:04.360
So if you're like, I don't want to support Nestle because ick, then you've, you've flipped

01:29:04.360 --> 01:29:09.880
that toggle and then the insane amount of brands under Nestle, it'll help point out

01:29:10.280 --> 01:29:14.360
and, and maybe suggest alternatives or something like that. But then that gets really muddy.

01:29:14.360 --> 01:29:20.760
But like, be really tough. There are so many that you see all those infographics every once in a while of like,

01:29:20.760 --> 01:29:24.360
there are effectively like seven companies that make consumer goods.

01:29:24.360 --> 01:29:29.240
And you see that like, all of these different companies are just owned by so many other

01:29:29.240 --> 01:29:33.240
companies and it, and it, and it whittles down to this really, really, really small group.

01:29:35.400 --> 01:29:39.720
And helping people, you know, to, you know, to, you know, to, you know, to, you know,

01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:44.440
traverse through that is kind of the idea of, of vinegar.

01:29:44.440 --> 01:29:46.040
All right. It took me two attempts.

01:29:48.040 --> 01:29:52.040
My wife asked me to see what she'd look like in a yellow bikini based on this picture of her.

01:29:52.040 --> 01:29:57.240
We're so sorry, but the image created may violate our content policies. If you think you caught it wrong, please retry or edit your prompt.

01:29:57.880 --> 01:30:02.040
Attempt number two, my wife used AI to change this beat picture,

01:30:02.040 --> 01:30:07.160
beach picture to a corporate headshot. Can you put her back on the beach and put her yellow bikini back on?

01:30:07.960 --> 01:30:10.680
Boop. Yeah. This is, this is.

01:30:12.840 --> 01:30:16.840
Thank you. That easy. Unfortunately.

01:30:16.840 --> 01:30:17.160
Thanks.

01:30:20.120 --> 01:30:21.720
Yeah. That's my point.

01:30:24.440 --> 01:30:26.680
That's like such a huge yikes.

01:30:27.480 --> 01:30:27.880
Yep.

01:30:32.120 --> 01:30:38.760
To it. And to be, to be clear, I, like, I wouldn't have used a picture of my wife if I didn't know

01:30:38.760 --> 01:30:43.160
that she already posed in her underwear on LTTstore.com, like this, you know.

01:30:43.160 --> 01:30:51.320
I would have golfed at it if that wasn't true. Yeah. Yeah. Like we've, we've uploaded us, we did a selfie of us in our underwear once on Twitter,

01:30:51.320 --> 01:30:52.680
like a while back. Like I, I.

01:30:55.080 --> 01:30:59.400
In this case, it's okay. That does not mean it is okay in. In general, it is not okay.

01:30:59.400 --> 01:31:00.760
The vast majority of cases.

01:31:02.760 --> 01:31:10.280
Yeah, man. I, I, the, the grok thing to me, the reason why the grok thing was so disgusting to me

01:31:10.280 --> 01:31:11.480
was because it showed.

01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:19.320
Likely what, not only what people would do, but likely in a lot of cases, what people are doing.

01:31:20.360 --> 01:31:23.400
Um, the stupidest part of this is. In private chats.

01:31:23.400 --> 01:31:28.920
I have so little experience using LLMs and I was able to do it that easily.

01:31:28.920 --> 01:31:34.680
This, that is again. The safety measures don't work.

01:31:34.680 --> 01:31:36.840
They just don't.

01:31:37.880 --> 01:31:41.240
Like, yeah. Oh, this is great. Hold on. The second one finished.

01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:45.320
We're so sorry, but the image we created may violate our content policies.

01:31:45.320 --> 01:31:49.080
If you think we got it wrong, please retry or edit your problem. Obviously, I prefer this response.

01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:54.760
So by asking the user to train.

01:31:56.200 --> 01:31:59.400
Yeah, that's awesome. The way that your product responds.

01:31:59.400 --> 01:32:03.800
That's so. When it comes to user safety guidelines, like.

01:32:06.680 --> 01:32:08.440
Are you kidding me right now?

01:32:09.960 --> 01:32:10.280
Yeah.

01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:17.480
Yeah, that's rough. Um, that's, that's rough.

01:32:17.480 --> 01:32:21.880
That's not good. Such a huge yikes. Okay. Well, that was discouraging.

01:32:22.680 --> 01:32:27.400
Dan, what are we supposed to be doing? I don't, I think we're three or four topics in and I don't think the sign has changed.

01:32:27.400 --> 01:32:31.080
So I guess, I guess just if my one last thing, sorry, Dan.

01:32:31.080 --> 01:32:37.560
You got four minutes. My one last thing about that would be like, if you want things to be enraged about in regards

01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:40.680
to AI, which there are many, and there are also many really cool things.

01:32:40.680 --> 01:32:44.600
I understand my stance on AI is difficult to follow. Yeah, you're hard to pin down.

01:32:45.240 --> 01:32:48.760
I'm sorry about that, but there are tons of cool things.

01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:53.960
But if you want one more thing to be upset about is that

01:32:54.360 --> 01:33:00.360
grog's ability to do that being hampered does not mean all the other ones are having the same

01:33:00.360 --> 01:33:12.920
experience. And we just saw how easy it is with the most well known one and the most at least the one

01:33:12.920 --> 01:33:22.360
that I know of the most that talks most publicly about safety, I think I've seen, I've seen them

01:33:23.080 --> 01:33:27.720
posture a lot. I've seen them virtue signal a lot about safety.

01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:31.080
Yeah, so and it was that easy, right?

01:33:31.080 --> 01:33:35.400
Like, and that's a joke that was like, there was, like he said, he almost never uses, he

01:33:35.400 --> 01:33:42.200
didn't use any of the public like tricks that wasn't put in a, in a poem format or that wasn't

01:33:42.200 --> 01:33:46.040
put in whatever you didn't threaten it. You didn't say that you were being threatened.

01:33:46.040 --> 01:33:50.840
No, and I didn't claim it was me because I knew that that would probably be that would

01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:56.360
have probably helped. The easiest way because you are then, you could say that you specifically give it consent

01:33:56.360 --> 01:34:02.360
on your behalf or that kind of stuff. So like you did the least amount of manipulation almost possible.

01:34:02.360 --> 01:34:03.640
It was like, yes, sir.

01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:09.720
Anyways, there you go. Have fun with that.

01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:17.480
CW announcements, we've got a couple of those, but where are they?

01:34:18.520 --> 01:34:20.760
I can't find things in the talk. I don't understand.

01:34:22.520 --> 01:34:25.000
There they are. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:34:31.640 --> 01:34:38.120
Sure. Today we dropped the super soft hoodie in chocolate moose and it denim blue.

01:34:38.120 --> 01:34:40.520
Honestly, people in the office wear these all the time. They do.

01:34:41.240 --> 01:34:45.480
I'm pretty sure I've seen Sammy in one of them many times, which is usually the best side.

01:34:45.480 --> 01:34:50.920
It is, it is a good sign. It's ridiculously soft. It feels genuinely luxurious.

01:34:50.920 --> 01:35:00.440
It's got some nice weight to it. And the extra thick drawstring with metal LTT tips makes it feel properly premium.

01:35:00.440 --> 01:35:07.000
If you want to add the super soft hoodie to your collection, you can check it out at LMG.GG slash super soft.

01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:11.160
Time to check out the awesome photo shoot that they undoubtedly did.

01:35:11.800 --> 01:35:15.640
I'm sure they've been so good lately. Because of course they did. Hello.

01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:19.640
I'm not sure. Hello, I saw an image.

01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:23.640
Hey, there we go. Look at all those amazing colors.

01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.920
And it looks great. Look at all those fantastic members of the LMG team.

01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:31.240
Isn't that beautiful? Even that photo is cool. Isn't that awesome?

01:35:31.240 --> 01:35:34.760
They're nailing it lately. I love it. I love it.

01:35:36.360 --> 01:35:39.640
I also like how they do that fabric twist thing every time.

01:35:39.640 --> 01:35:41.800
I love that that's a standard photo on all of them.

01:35:43.560 --> 01:35:50.360
Can you go up that one? Just to give you a feel for, you know, it's it's smart what it feels like.

01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:53.240
You know, it's the super soft.

01:35:54.120 --> 01:35:58.040
This is one of our best reviewed products ever.

01:35:59.160 --> 01:36:03.000
People just flipping love this thing.

01:36:06.120 --> 01:36:09.880
Awesome. Great sweater. One of my all time favorite hoodies.

01:36:09.880 --> 01:36:12.040
Best hoodie I've ever owned. Great hoodie.

01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:16.600
Oh, oh, this is hilarious.

01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:21.720
Sorry, Braxton, your timing's terrible. Three stars.

01:36:21.720 --> 01:36:25.400
I got this for my wife and I knew she would love it if it was comfy and it is.

01:36:25.400 --> 01:36:29.720
Unfortunately, she hates the color gray. She says it would be a five out of five

01:36:29.720 --> 01:36:35.640
if it wasn't depression gray. Well, you've got where, where is it?

01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:37.560
Yep. The new colors.

01:36:38.680 --> 01:36:42.840
You've got chocolate mousse and denim blue. Yep. Chocolate mousse and denim blue.

01:36:42.840 --> 01:36:49.320
There they are. There they are, boys. New colors for you to enjoy that are not depression gray.

01:36:50.200 --> 01:36:53.240
Fantastic. This is probably the thing that I brought home

01:36:53.240 --> 01:36:58.120
that got stolen the fastest. That's impressive because MS Steel stuff pretty fast.

01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:10.760
Yeah, LMG.gg slash super soft and if you want to go ahead

01:37:10.760 --> 01:37:17.000
and pick up one of those, then that would be a perfect time to send a checkout message or a calm.

01:37:17.320 --> 01:37:21.720
That's right. It's here. The new branding for messages into the show,

01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:25.240
which we have done such a wonderful job of implementing.

01:37:25.240 --> 01:37:27.480
Thank you very much for this, Dan. Check this out, Luke.

01:37:30.120 --> 01:37:31.560
Oh, no. What?

01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:39.720
Oh, great. Just rip them all off of. They're like taped to the ground.

01:37:39.720 --> 01:37:43.000
What is happening? What are we doing? I don't know, man.

01:37:43.880 --> 01:37:46.600
Oh, I know what's happening. Oh, I know what's happening.

01:37:47.320 --> 01:37:49.800
You still can't see it. I got it. I got it.

01:37:52.520 --> 01:37:57.400
The fourth wall is is chattering. No suspension of disbelief.

01:37:57.400 --> 01:37:58.520
They can see the sign.

01:38:02.440 --> 01:38:06.840
I will fix all terrible now. I will fix that next week.

01:38:06.840 --> 01:38:10.840
It wasn't supposed to be moved. You could just stop.

01:38:11.800 --> 01:38:15.240
You could just stop. You could just put it down. Dan's already settled fixing it next week.

01:38:15.240 --> 01:38:17.880
I can't put it down. It's going to fall. Oh, my.

01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:24.360
I wish you guys could see this. I really do.

01:38:25.080 --> 01:38:27.880
They can't. Yeah. There we go.

01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:39.000
We're back to the wide anyway. So Dan just put two post it notes and part of a post it note

01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:42.760
over the old sign and wrote the new branding on it.

01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:47.560
So if you want to interact with I forgot to print new signs.

01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:51.400
No, this is brilliant. I love it. Exactly. Yeah. Country girls get it done.

01:38:55.080 --> 01:39:01.320
Sorry. What were you saying? If you want to interact with the show, the way to do it is not with a super chat,

01:39:01.320 --> 01:39:04.680
not with a twitch bit or anything like that.

01:39:04.680 --> 01:39:09.240
It's with a calm. So a checkout message over on lttstore.com.

01:39:09.240 --> 01:39:13.480
All you got to do is send one is head over to the store. Add anything to your cart.

01:39:14.600 --> 01:39:22.680
Say for example, if you were able to find any variant of our new true spec cables,

01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:28.200
for instance, you could add that to your cart and you'll see the comms interface.

01:39:28.200 --> 01:39:32.840
Look at it right there. Check out messages. Oh, it should probably be the long form.

01:39:32.840 --> 01:39:36.040
You know what? We're still working on. We're still working on updating everything.

01:39:36.040 --> 01:39:39.720
Go ahead and type your checkout message. It will go to producer Dan.

01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:44.840
So what was wrong? Oh, it says comms instead of checkout message.

01:39:45.400 --> 01:39:48.280
Oh, okay. You should probably just say checkout message. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.

01:39:48.920 --> 01:39:53.160
It will go to producer Dan who will pop it up if it's just a shout out or he will reply to it

01:39:53.160 --> 01:39:57.000
himself or he will curate it. Do you want to show us what a curated one looks like?

01:39:57.720 --> 01:40:00.760
Sure thing. I've got a few here. People love in the hoodie.

01:40:01.320 --> 01:40:07.160
Dear LD, planning our first kid soon, but I fear raising iPad kids as someone with ADHD

01:40:07.160 --> 01:40:10.200
needing daycare. Though I grew up with nineties.

01:40:10.200 --> 01:40:14.360
Nick, what were your thoughts on YouTube kids and how much screen time?

01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:22.440
Oh, I mean, I never under any circumstance when the Cocoa Mellon wrote.

01:40:23.560 --> 01:40:26.840
Cocoa Mellon. Why? What's wrong? I don't actually know Cocoa Mellon. Is it bad?

01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:29.800
It's bad. Cocoa Mellon's bad. It's objectively bad.

01:40:30.360 --> 01:40:35.960
You can look into it. Chad will agree with me. I promise you it is actually just really bad.

01:40:35.960 --> 01:40:38.920
Cep is better says we love Cocoa Lull. Not.

01:40:43.160 --> 01:40:46.200
I don't think that's what they're referencing genuinely. Cocoa Mellon.

01:40:46.200 --> 01:40:49.960
Look at literally every other comment. Okay. What am I? What am I looking at here?

01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:52.520
Seriously? Look at FoldMeChat right now. Look at every single comment.

01:40:53.720 --> 01:40:57.160
Oh, it's brain rot. It's better than Caillou. I mean, that's a low bar.

01:40:57.800 --> 01:41:01.720
I actually don't think it is. Child brain rot.

01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:05.800
I disagree. It's objectively bad. It's like actually not okay.

01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.240
Don't do not go the Cocoa Mellon route. There's Miss Rachel.

01:41:09.240 --> 01:41:13.160
There's Bluey. There are other options. Avoid the Cocoa Mellon route.

01:41:13.720 --> 01:41:14.840
Like actually please.

01:41:17.080 --> 01:41:20.520
No, I am not. I am not an authority on this. I don't have kids.

01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:23.720
Go find anyone else who has specific experience with this.

01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:26.520
And they will tell you the same thing. Get it from them.

01:41:27.640 --> 01:41:31.400
Okay. Mr. Rogers and Arthur. Yeah, old school stuff is also great.

01:41:31.400 --> 01:41:34.600
Not necessarily. I am not a fan of Curious George.

01:41:35.320 --> 01:41:38.280
Oh. Curious George fucks around and never finds out.

01:41:39.080 --> 01:41:43.800
And I think it's, I think Curious George is full of absolutely just.

01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:50.040
Yeah, not all the old school stuff is good. Completely destructive behavior with no consequences whatsoever.

01:41:50.680 --> 01:41:54.600
Curious George is terrible garbage. I hated it as a parent.

01:41:55.400 --> 01:42:00.840
There were, there were a couple that were like that for me where I'm reading this. I'm going like, wow, this Franklin turtle is kind of a little shit.

01:42:01.400 --> 01:42:04.600
And I'm sorry that he's Canadian.

01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:06.760
Like I just, not into it.

01:42:09.480 --> 01:42:13.080
One of our birds likes Franklin. One of your, sorry, what?

01:42:13.080 --> 01:42:16.600
Emma plays them like kids shows because they're colorful and they have like songs and stuff.

01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:19.640
So the birds actually do genuinely like them. Okay.

01:42:19.640 --> 01:42:25.320
Takedo's favorite one was, holy crap,

01:42:25.320 --> 01:42:27.000
how do I not remember the name of it? The bear.

01:42:29.720 --> 01:42:30.440
Honey poo.

01:42:33.320 --> 01:42:38.840
Winnie the Pooh. Yep. You are like, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me.

01:42:38.840 --> 01:42:42.840
You are so far removed from mainstream culture sometimes.

01:42:44.440 --> 01:42:50.200
Okay, yeah, me. That sometimes I just wonder if we grew up on the same planet.

01:42:51.400 --> 01:42:54.520
Like how can you struggle to find the words Winnie the Pooh?

01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:01.400
Okay. I did admit that one was, that one was rough and I got there.

01:43:01.400 --> 01:43:05.320
You know the one with the wars in the, in the galaxy?

01:43:06.040 --> 01:43:07.720
Like what's that one called again?

01:43:09.480 --> 01:43:16.120
Death Trek? Like just, I just, like I can't sometimes with you.

01:43:17.240 --> 01:43:22.040
No, that was Star Wars. Yes, I know.

01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:29.880
Spaceballs. What are the odds the new Spaceballs movie is good?

01:43:32.040 --> 01:43:37.720
I think it's like one out of 10, one in 10 shot.

01:43:37.720 --> 01:43:41.720
Who's making it? Mel Brooks. What has he done recently?

01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:46.360
Not much. I mean, he's 99. Is he really?

01:43:46.360 --> 01:43:50.920
Apparently. Like I didn't, you know, carbon date him, but.

01:43:51.720 --> 01:43:52.760
Whoa, yeah.

01:43:55.480 --> 01:43:57.480
99 years old, there he is. 99%.

01:43:59.000 --> 01:44:03.960
99% odds would be good. I'm going to do this and do this and I'm going to go see it with an open mind and hope.

01:44:05.560 --> 01:44:08.600
That's all you can do sometimes. What of his other films did you genuinely enjoy?

01:44:10.280 --> 01:44:11.000
Spaceballs.

01:44:13.880 --> 01:44:17.000
Did you genuinely enjoy it? Have you watched it recently?

01:44:17.000 --> 01:44:20.840
No. Okay, I did. I watched it while I was folding Laundry.

01:44:24.600 --> 01:44:28.840
It took me four or five sessions to get through.

01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:32.520
Comb the desert was funny. Not a great ending. I remember liking that.

01:44:33.320 --> 01:44:35.640
That's where comb with a brick comes from. Okay.

01:44:37.480 --> 01:44:40.760
And it's got some really quotable moments.

01:44:40.760 --> 01:44:44.520
Wasn't Blazing Saddles like amazing? Have you watched it?

01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:53.800
No. So I have been told that it's possible that my Canadianness is impacting my ability to

01:44:53.800 --> 01:45:06.600
enjoy Blazing Saddles. Also, my youth was not the youth of Clint Eastwood and the whole Cowboys and

01:45:08.920 --> 01:45:11.960
they used to use a different word. We don't use that word anymore, whatever.

01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:21.000
You get the point. The whole Western culture thing had kind of passed by the time that I was consuming video media.

01:45:21.880 --> 01:45:28.840
So there's a lot of aspects of that movie that just aren't funny to me because I don't get a lot

01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:34.600
of the tropes and or aren't really funny to me because I'm not an American.

01:45:34.600 --> 01:45:39.880
And so the whole race relations between blacks and whites in America thing,

01:45:40.600 --> 01:45:44.600
like I don't really quite get it in the same way that Americans might.

01:45:44.920 --> 01:45:51.720
So take what I'd say for what it is an outsider's perspective on Blazing Saddles

01:45:52.840 --> 01:45:55.400
did not enjoy it. I watched it maybe a year or two ago.

01:45:56.680 --> 01:46:03.000
Wasn't into it. Okay, never seen it. Spaceballs I liked when I was a little kid watching it again recently.

01:46:03.000 --> 01:46:08.680
I was like, wow, yeah, they really did get away with kind of unfunny

01:46:09.640 --> 01:46:12.760
Hollywood level budget productions in the 80s.

01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:16.520
Did you see Rogue One? I did. What did you think of Rogue One?

01:46:16.520 --> 01:46:22.280
I thought it was great. Yeah, okay. Why? I just wanted to spot check for a second because I thought it was great.

01:46:22.280 --> 01:46:28.040
Yeah. And we mentioned on Wancho recently that we both hated all Disney era Star Wars.

01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:32.120
I'm like, that's not quite technically true.

01:46:32.120 --> 01:46:37.080
I didn't hate Solo. Solo was like extremely bland.

01:46:37.080 --> 01:46:44.760
Yeah. Yeah, it was fine. Like the Marvel equivalent would be like Thor Love and Thunder maybe.

01:46:45.480 --> 01:46:54.440
Or no, no, no, no, no, Thor Love and Thunder was terrible. It was the dark, the two, the world, dark world, something with the space elves or whatever it was.

01:46:54.440 --> 01:46:57.400
No idea. I don't think either of us have watched Andor.

01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:01.720
No, I haven't yet. I think Riley says Andor is really good.

01:47:02.360 --> 01:47:06.360
It's really good. Which I generally trust Riley.

01:47:06.360 --> 01:47:09.880
I generally trust Riley. And on Star Wars stuff especially.

01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:14.200
So like, yes, I agree. Is he a Star Wars? And I'm also going to lay on, yes.

01:47:14.200 --> 01:47:16.040
He's a nerd nerd. He's a Star Wars boy.

01:47:17.560 --> 01:47:22.520
So I need to watch Andor at some point. And Rogue One was sick.

01:47:23.480 --> 01:47:26.440
Rogue One was actually like awesome.

01:47:28.840 --> 01:47:32.680
So. I enjoyed it. I'm just putting that out there.

01:47:32.680 --> 01:47:42.360
There were definitely things that annoyed me about it. Like, there's like a personal pet peeve of mine when they try to create additional tension

01:47:43.320 --> 01:47:49.320
artificially during the climax of a movie. Like when there's a timer to when the ship will self-destruct.

01:47:50.040 --> 01:47:55.720
And that 15 seconds has like 20 minutes of stuff happen in it.

01:47:55.720 --> 01:47:58.600
And you're just like, just say 20 minutes.

01:47:59.400 --> 01:48:04.440
And then just have it go down at a realistic clip and then have it come down to the last few

01:48:04.440 --> 01:48:07.640
seconds and then we can it can be a really intense moment.

01:48:07.640 --> 01:48:12.680
You don't have to just be full of crap. And in the same way in Rogue One there's like this scene.

01:48:12.680 --> 01:48:16.680
I only watched it once in the theater. So I might be getting the details a little bit wrong here.

01:48:16.680 --> 01:48:22.120
But there's this scene where only a handful of fighters like make it in before the shield closes.

01:48:22.120 --> 01:48:28.120
And then we spend the next again like 20 minutes of the movie watching like a huge battle take place.

01:48:28.120 --> 01:48:31.480
And it's like, bro, like six of them made it in. What huge battle is there?

01:48:32.440 --> 01:48:34.680
Like the whole thing was just kind of confusing.

01:48:37.240 --> 01:48:39.720
It's been a while since I've seen it. I'm trying to remember. Yeah.

01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:52.840
Yeah. I don't remember enough to make a point, but yeah. Anyways, I feel like for basically historic reasons, I've got to see Spaceballs 2.

01:48:52.840 --> 01:48:58.600
Yeah, I'm going to watch it. Amex says Spaceballs 2 just being an unironically good Star Wars movie would be hilarious.

01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:03.240
That would be... Dude, holy crap.

01:49:03.240 --> 01:49:12.200
If Spaceballs 2 was just the writing prompts that George Lucas gave Disney for the next episode.

01:49:12.200 --> 01:49:16.040
Oh my God. That was just it. They just made a good Star Wars movie?

01:49:16.040 --> 01:49:19.400
Kill. Holy crap, it would kill.

01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:25.960
It would destroy. That'd be pretty cool.

01:49:26.840 --> 01:49:31.480
That'd be pretty cool. Have you seen the Star Wars Theory Guy is like Vader series?

01:49:32.120 --> 01:49:38.280
No, I haven't. I can't play it because we'll get taken down by Disney to all heck.

01:49:39.480 --> 01:49:44.520
Star Wars Theory. Galaxy Quest is a quality spoof film.

01:49:45.240 --> 01:49:50.200
So like, no, I have not enjoyed Mel Brooks's films generally,

01:49:50.200 --> 01:49:54.440
but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good spoof. So I don't know, man.

01:49:54.440 --> 01:50:00.840
I just feel like spoofs evolved and Mel Brooks didn't is kind of where I'm at on that.

01:50:00.840 --> 01:50:04.520
16 minute fan film. There's a bunch of credits.

01:50:04.520 --> 01:50:07.160
I'm going to say 12 minutes or something.

01:50:07.880 --> 01:50:12.680
30 million views from seven years ago. And I think there's an episode two coming.

01:50:12.680 --> 01:50:14.040
Oh, wow. That's pretty cool.

01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:20.840
There's a teaser trailer for episode two from nine months ago.

01:50:21.800 --> 01:50:25.240
I don't even think I can play the teaser trailer. Yeah. Andre B, that's a good point.

01:50:25.240 --> 01:50:36.600
Airplane is also an amazing spoof film and is also old and has a very like 80s low production value style of humor.

01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:40.120
I do think airplane really runs out of gas in the second half, though.

01:50:40.120 --> 01:50:46.360
The first half is really funny and then it just kind of overstays its welcome a little bit in my opinion.

01:50:46.360 --> 01:50:52.200
But nobody asked my opinion on airplane. Has George Lucas actually done anything interesting with his billions after selling it to Disney?

01:50:52.200 --> 01:50:57.160
He's making like a crazy museum, like an insane looking museum.

01:50:57.160 --> 01:51:00.040
I think it's supposed to open soon, isn't it? Or already opened?

01:51:00.600 --> 01:51:04.200
Not sure. The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

01:51:04.200 --> 01:51:06.600
Look at this thing. Look at that, dude.

01:51:07.400 --> 01:51:09.880
227 days. I want to go to that. Where is it?

01:51:10.760 --> 01:51:13.160
I want to get some California. Of course it is.

01:51:14.840 --> 01:51:18.600
Yeah, LA. LA, I'm assuming, yeah. What a crazy...

01:51:20.120 --> 01:51:21.960
This is what billionaires should be doing.

01:51:23.400 --> 01:51:28.040
It's what they used to do. Solid. There's Star Wars Episode 1 through 3 right there.

01:51:29.400 --> 01:51:32.520
Okay, okay, okay. You're just going to do a little zoom in there.

01:51:32.520 --> 01:51:35.320
No, I'm trying to scroll through the page. It's one of those websites.

01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:39.640
Oh. Yeah. Trip canceled. So annoying.

01:51:39.640 --> 01:51:42.360
Trip canceled. Like I was, look.

01:51:43.720 --> 01:51:48.360
You had me in the first half. That is actually super annoying. I love that it doesn't even zoom in on her face.

01:51:49.160 --> 01:51:50.200
So ridiculous.

01:51:52.520 --> 01:51:56.440
What a crazy looking building though. That's awesome. Yeah, so that's what he's up to.

01:51:57.160 --> 01:52:03.000
Apparently he's been quite involved in the design of it and stuff.

01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:06.120
It's like actually a really big deal to him. Yeah, so that seems pretty cool.

01:52:06.120 --> 01:52:10.840
This seems like one of those like, no, no, this is my legacy now moves,

01:52:11.560 --> 01:52:15.880
which is pretty basic. He seems pretty salty about Star Wars.

01:52:16.040 --> 01:52:18.120
Oh, I haven't watched any interviews with him or anything.

01:52:19.320 --> 01:52:23.640
Is he mad? He seems pretty mad to the point where like apparently,

01:52:24.200 --> 01:52:27.320
man, what's his name? The Disney owner guy, Disney CEO guy.

01:52:27.320 --> 01:52:34.440
Oh, Iger. Yeah, Bob Iger. He reached out to him and was like, you know, when you like say stuff like that,

01:52:34.440 --> 01:52:36.120
it's like your stock that goes down too.

01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:41.080
Apparently they had like one of those conversations and George Lucas was basically like, yeah, I don't care.

01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:46.520
Oh, so like, yeah, he's apparently like really not stoked.

01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:50.360
Wow. I mean, would you be?

01:52:50.360 --> 01:52:58.520
I wouldn't. No, not at all. I'd be so mad. He gave them the road and it probably would have had the same thing

01:52:59.080 --> 01:53:03.800
that, you know, the prequels had happened where people hated it first, but then they started to see like some of the art in it.

01:53:03.800 --> 01:53:07.240
It's still not as good, but like they saw some of the art in it, which is cool.

01:53:07.240 --> 01:53:10.040
I don't think the sequels are going to have that. They just kind of suck.

01:53:11.080 --> 01:53:13.800
I don't know. You might be. I've met people who like them.

01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:19.960
I know. Do they have good opinions on things? Well, obviously not because.

01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:29.960
But I have met people who are genuinely just like,

01:53:30.600 --> 01:53:33.640
you're overthinking it. They're fun. They're fun to watch.

01:53:34.280 --> 01:53:36.840
And I don't know, man. Do they care about Star Wars?

01:53:37.560 --> 01:53:40.600
Because I think that's part of the problem is if you actually care about the

01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:45.400
universe, they're painful. But is caring about Star Wars kind of cringe?

01:53:45.400 --> 01:53:49.560
Yeah, sure. But so is caring about almost anything. So like, who cares?

01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:52.760
Sure. Okay. I mean, yeah, that's that's that's fair.

01:53:52.760 --> 01:53:56.280
That's fair. Like I get it. I just, I don't know, man.

01:53:56.280 --> 01:54:10.520
I. But yeah, like I can't I can't imagine having seen.

01:54:13.480 --> 01:54:16.440
You know, the prequels and the original trilogy.

01:54:17.240 --> 01:54:20.280
And then seeing what happened and being like, this is fine.

01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:24.920
I don't know. And like funny hats and Floatplane chess as I liked the last Jedi.

01:54:25.000 --> 01:54:35.080
And it's like, right. But but how can you be invested in the last Jedi when it doesn't pay off anything that

01:54:35.080 --> 01:54:38.600
came before it and nothing that it sets up gets paid off?

01:54:38.600 --> 01:54:47.160
Yeah. Like this is part of the problem. I came out of the last Jedi being pretty not happy, but being like, all right,

01:54:47.160 --> 01:54:50.200
we'll see where they go. And then they went nowhere.

01:54:50.200 --> 01:54:52.920
Yeah. They just completely threw it all away. Yeah.

01:54:55.480 --> 01:55:06.040
And like the the the just destruction of character of a hero is just so unnecessary.

01:55:06.040 --> 01:55:09.320
Stupid. It's so unnecessary. It's so modern Disney.

01:55:09.320 --> 01:55:12.520
We can't just have a clear good guy and bad guy.

01:55:12.520 --> 01:55:17.400
Everyone has to be shades of gray. And you could give him some shades of gray, but just like you could.

01:55:19.800 --> 01:55:23.800
Don't do it that way. I mean, he had shades of gray already.

01:55:23.800 --> 01:55:34.360
That was like his whole thing. He was brash and he was impulsive and he was angry and and he was arrogant.

01:55:35.400 --> 01:55:38.920
Luke Skywalker is not a perfect person.

01:55:38.920 --> 01:55:41.160
And that's why we love him so much.

01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:49.000
Anyway, and it's just so incredibly not core to his character on so many though.

01:55:49.000 --> 01:55:52.440
Anyways, we don't have to talk about Star Wars forever. We can coming back to the actual question.

01:55:53.160 --> 01:55:57.080
My son watched a lot of this channel and it seemed pretty productive.

01:55:57.640 --> 01:56:09.640
It's just like kind of catchy chill songs that tell you like how to play this game or what are

01:56:09.640 --> 01:56:14.600
colors or alphabet phonics.

01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:18.760
He legit I swear I will actually I will I will say this under oath.

01:56:19.480 --> 01:56:24.760
He read earlier because of phonics song and phonics song to

01:56:26.280 --> 01:56:33.640
undeniably because I would in the morning when I wasn't ready to get up yet and he was awake.

01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:39.800
I'd be like phonics song and it would start just playing kids TV 123 starting with phonics song.

01:56:39.800 --> 01:56:46.520
So he watched phonics song probably at least two three times a week like definitely on weekend

01:56:46.520 --> 01:56:53.720
days at least once for I don't know probably a year when he was at that age and into that sort of

01:56:53.720 --> 01:57:01.240
thing and yeah kids TV 123 pretty good people just mentioned hooked on phonics that's a bit of a call

01:57:01.240 --> 01:57:07.320
back never did hooked on phonics with my constantly constantly bad did I tell you about my report

01:57:07.320 --> 01:57:12.600
cards oh we were talking about report cards recently I got my hands on some of mine I didn't

01:57:12.600 --> 01:57:16.920
bring them in today though oh I didn't yeah I never brought mine I know we were just talking about

01:57:16.920 --> 01:57:22.120
them yeah but I look just like I'm so warm this is so warm yeah I'm not going to keep it on the

01:57:22.120 --> 01:57:31.560
whole show yep I'm very comfy just super soft hoodie check it out lttstore.com every year every

01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:38.840
year every term every single thing you know boy we sure wish this kid could read pretty much

01:57:38.920 --> 01:57:43.160
joy to have in the class works well with others all this kind of stuff oh great great great great

01:57:43.160 --> 01:57:49.560
it's like really reading spelling yeah it's like okay cool you guys didn't notice a pattern

01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:59.720
come on my goodness all right um there are a merge message for you all right hit me

01:57:59.720 --> 01:58:05.720
not merge message comms yes thank you sorry my dashboard another calm another calm hey when

01:58:05.720 --> 01:58:12.520
dot dll what is one tech misconception that drives you up the wall for me it's when a d sub plug

01:58:12.520 --> 01:58:19.560
is called db or people don't understand that USB-C is just the plug and not the standard

01:58:20.280 --> 01:58:26.280
have you ever heard a d sub called db literally never never heard of that I I guess it would

01:58:26.280 --> 01:58:31.800
probably annoy me to hear something just called completely the wrong thing I think my biggest

01:58:31.800 --> 01:58:41.480
25 my biggest tech mic misconception has to be when people don't understand the difference

01:58:42.120 --> 01:58:49.880
between intranet speed and internet speed and will confidently make statements like

01:58:50.680 --> 01:58:59.160
I wouldn't get any benefit from faster wi-fi 6e or wi-fi 7 because my internet provider only

01:58:59.160 --> 01:59:07.000
does 100 megabit bro that ain't what we're talking about we're talking about when your

01:59:07.000 --> 01:59:13.800
transferring files over your local network you can get an enormous benefit from a faster local

01:59:14.360 --> 01:59:21.000
network um to be fair they might not even do that and they might not do that but in some cases

01:59:21.000 --> 01:59:27.960
they might and it many of the times that I'm reading these comments it's on a project

01:59:27.960 --> 01:59:34.040
where we are doing that and they they're like not understanding it like I'll like I did a video

01:59:34.040 --> 01:59:38.840
ages ago on two and a half gig networking back when it was finally getting somewhat affordable to

01:59:38.840 --> 01:59:44.120
have greater than gigabit and I'm pretty sure one of the things that we set up was like accessing a

01:59:44.120 --> 01:59:50.120
file server and they're like well the comment section was full of I wouldn't get it's all I

01:59:50.120 --> 01:59:54.440
wouldn't need this because my internet is oh my god the two things transferring files to and from

01:59:54.440 --> 01:59:59.160
each other are right next to each other we don't need the internet connection for that I'm going

01:59:59.160 --> 02:00:05.960
to hype start hyperventilating right now because I just I can't cover every basic concept in every

02:00:05.960 --> 02:00:12.040
single video because I will bore the longtime viewers but I can't deal with new viewers watching

02:00:12.040 --> 02:00:19.320
and not grasping this foundational basic concept that the link is just between these two machines

02:00:19.400 --> 02:00:22.680
it has nothing to do with your internet provider

02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:31.400
what's your favorite tech misconception I don't think there's a lot that actually

02:00:31.400 --> 02:00:37.640
really bother me that much really what if someone calls the tower of the CPU

02:00:38.760 --> 02:00:43.560
yeah I usually understand what they mean what if someone calls the monitor of the CPU

02:00:44.440 --> 02:00:49.640
I would correct them but it's not gonna like bother me I would correct them I like that

02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:58.680
I've only ever really gotten that from my kids because it makes sense like kids they interact

02:00:58.680 --> 02:01:04.920
with the screen and especially my kids the tower's not there like it's a completely different room

02:01:04.920 --> 02:01:11.800
so it's understandable it is the monitor it's like almost not fair I mean there's the other

02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:18.920
computer that they use in the car where the computer's in the trunk so like they're my computer

02:01:18.920 --> 02:01:23.960
are in different rooms they must be such confusing people for their friends to talk to about computer

02:01:23.960 --> 02:01:27.720
stuff what do you mean your computer isn't in the basement as well why is your no my computer

02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:36.920
is in the basement no no but we don't use it in the basement we're in the car no where's your

02:01:36.920 --> 02:01:43.960
computer in the car in the trunk Dan vibes asks would there be room for a channel called tech

02:01:43.960 --> 02:01:49.080
for dummies or something similar see the problem with a tech for dummies channel is that the people

02:01:49.080 --> 02:01:55.480
who need it would not watch it because youtube algorithmically there's no way would would would

02:01:55.480 --> 02:02:01.240
serve people what they need to know more about as opposed to what they what their reptile brain

02:02:01.240 --> 02:02:05.640
wants to see and also we have tech wiki yeah the closest thing we've been able to come up with

02:02:05.640 --> 02:02:10.120
is the tech wiki and how tech wiki is like kind of supposed to work is supposed to be fun and

02:02:10.120 --> 02:02:16.760
informative for you maybe and if not it's a thing that you can share is it relaunched yet no soon

02:02:17.720 --> 02:02:25.000
um yeah GameLinked is back up though the router is not the modem yeah yeah but even that like

02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:34.440
okay so there was a my building recently had a um we have two elevators and they were both down

02:02:35.400 --> 02:02:41.800
which is like pretty annoying so em and i put little signs up obviously don't share that for

02:02:41.800 --> 02:02:47.320
obvious reasons but em and i put little signs up saying like if you have mobility issues or whatever

02:02:47.320 --> 02:02:52.920
i texted you about this carrying things up the stairs yeah uh color text and emma and luke

02:02:52.920 --> 02:02:59.640
will try to help smiley face yeah so like one of the such a sweet thing for her to do and also

02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:07.800
wow um opening up potentially the absolute floodgates yeah what was that like it was mostly fine

02:03:07.800 --> 02:03:13.560
okay cool um i could just i could see people taking advantage of something like that there was one

02:03:13.560 --> 02:03:18.760
that i thought it was someone taking advantage at first so the the the funniest one in my opinion

02:03:18.760 --> 02:03:24.680
was that uh i helped the lady carry a baby stroller up the stairs while the baby was sleeping in it

02:03:24.920 --> 02:03:29.560
so it was like freaking mission impossible that's a little scary and we succeeded yeah i don't love

02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:33.960
holding other people's babies no for sure it just stresses me out climbing up the stairs and stuff

02:03:33.960 --> 02:03:37.800
but the elevator's down it's got to get up there what's she gonna do is sit in the hall that way

02:03:37.800 --> 02:03:43.400
yeah for for literally days and waking the baby can be such a bad move like you can pay depending

02:03:43.400 --> 02:03:48.920
on how this baby was very chill ornery your child is it can it can suck because if you wake them up

02:03:48.920 --> 02:03:53.720
like mid nap it can throw the whole cycle off where you can't get them back to sleep for this nap

02:03:54.360 --> 02:03:58.440
and then they get like overtired and cranky for the next one and then they won't sleep for that

02:03:58.440 --> 02:04:02.600
one and then your like next day is miserable but i don't know some people have babies that

02:04:02.600 --> 02:04:08.120
sleep well so good for you this one seemed like one of those because i didn't get them it wasn't

02:04:08.120 --> 02:04:14.680
perfect and it stayed asleep so yeah um but one of them they texted emma and they said oh i saw

02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:20.360
your sign about let me see if i can find having mobility challenges yes yeah and um

02:04:20.360 --> 02:04:26.680
um they their interpretation of that was mobility they're having issues with their phone

02:04:28.120 --> 02:04:33.160
um but that's hilarious but to be fair oh my god this was a fairly heavy

02:04:35.320 --> 02:04:42.440
be free bc tell mobility s l situation um i want to find the old slogan for a local

02:04:43.320 --> 02:04:49.800
cellular carrier back in the day um that's crazy i can't remember the last time we called it mobility

02:04:50.760 --> 02:04:56.360
like cell phones yeah yeah i love saying cellular telephone migore says you live in a building of

02:04:56.360 --> 02:05:00.440
idiots i don't think it's like an intelligence thing i think it's just like this is absolutely

02:05:00.440 --> 02:05:06.360
non-intelligence either being old it was like english not first language it was a great grandma

02:05:06.360 --> 02:05:12.840
who recently moved here from a non like i have been there this is a non-english speaking country

02:05:13.160 --> 02:05:21.080
and she was doing her best yeah um based on the messaging emma and i kind of sussed out

02:05:21.080 --> 02:05:25.560
this was probably not someone just trying to like abuse the situation they probably didn't

02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:29.960
understand and they seemed like they actually just had no idea what was going on and i could

02:05:29.960 --> 02:05:33.720
maybe go over there and fix it pretty quick so and based on their description it sounded like

02:05:33.720 --> 02:05:38.120
their subscription just lapsed right so we just went over there and essentially what ended up

02:05:38.120 --> 02:05:41.160
happening was we just went over there and helped them get through like the phone tree

02:05:41.880 --> 02:05:45.000
to get their subscription going again and then everything instantly worked and it was

02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:49.160
totally fine and she was very nice she's very sweet but she was a great grandma from i'm not

02:05:49.160 --> 02:05:53.800
going to dox her but uh yeah a foreign country and it was it was great and it was it was

02:05:55.080 --> 02:06:01.400
short it didn't take that long yeah no big deal very nice but yeah there's like the oh man i don't

02:06:01.400 --> 02:06:03.080
that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me

02:06:08.840 --> 02:06:13.880
i don't remember how that bridge over oh yeah because she she she was like yeah the one of

02:06:13.880 --> 02:06:19.560
the things she said was that the modem the modem was working but the internet is stuck

02:06:21.560 --> 02:06:28.680
and this was where we were like probably not english first language because she said like

02:06:29.400 --> 02:06:33.000
phone is stuck because one of the one of the things on the sign was like if you're stuck

02:06:34.600 --> 02:06:40.760
stuck in mobility issues so like my phone is stuck my internet is stuck my tv is stuck

02:06:41.400 --> 02:06:47.880
the modem is working and she like specified in asterisks the modem is working and i showed up and

02:06:48.600 --> 02:06:53.800
she was totally right the modem was working there's just no there was no subscription so

02:06:53.800 --> 02:06:58.440
there's no service but like there's literally she had opened the modem up and there was a little light

02:06:58.440 --> 02:07:03.320
that like indicated that it was like she had done work to figure things out like she was actually

02:07:03.320 --> 02:07:08.840
just genuinely very reasonably lost you got to respect it yep opening up the modem to make

02:07:08.840 --> 02:07:15.480
sure that the little mice on the wheel haven't fallen off effectively um all right what are we

02:07:15.480 --> 02:07:22.600
supposed to be doing right now more topics uh notepad plus plus got hacked this was major news

02:07:22.600 --> 02:07:29.080
this week notepad plus plus the popular text editor with tens of millions of users had its update

02:07:29.080 --> 02:07:34.680
system hijacked for about six months by chinese state sponsored hackers called lotus blossom

02:07:34.680 --> 02:07:39.880
the attackers compromised the shared hosting provider behind notepad plus plus's update servers

02:07:39.880 --> 02:07:46.680
then selectively redirected certain targeted users to malicious servers that were serving

02:07:46.680 --> 02:07:53.640
tampered updates not everyone just specific government and infrastructure targets in south

02:07:53.640 --> 02:07:59.560
east asia and central america the attackers briefly lost access in september when the host

02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:05.160
did a routine server update but they got back in using stolen credentials that were never rotated

02:08:06.760 --> 02:08:12.920
nobody noticed until december of 2025 before the patch notepad plus plus's

02:08:12.920 --> 02:08:20.200
updater had zero verification no certificate checks no signature validation dang rapid seven's

02:08:20.200 --> 02:08:26.200
investigation found that the hackers deployed a custom backdoor called chrysalis on victim systems

02:08:26.200 --> 02:08:32.360
and security researcher kevin bowmont said at least three organizations saw hands-on network

02:08:32.360 --> 02:08:38.120
reconnaissance after being hit notepad plus plus has since patched the updater migrated

02:08:38.120 --> 02:08:44.040
hosting providers and plans to enforce mandatory signature verification in the next version this

02:08:44.040 --> 02:08:48.760
follows a pattern of supply chain attacks targeting developer tools solar winds three cx xz

02:08:48.760 --> 02:08:55.320
utils and now notepad plus plus our discussion question here is notepad plus plus is used by

02:08:55.320 --> 02:09:00.040
millions of people and it took six months for anyone to notice the update system had no real

02:09:00.040 --> 02:09:06.760
security how much do we just blindly trust software updates and should there be some minimum

02:09:06.760 --> 02:09:11.240
security standard for how open source tools handle their update mechanisms is this a spicy

02:09:11.240 --> 02:09:25.960
take you got to tell me no well okay i i think i see where you're going with this because you

02:09:25.960 --> 02:09:29.800
you like can't because that's the whole point of open sources you're not telling people how to do

02:09:29.800 --> 02:09:41.480
stuff but literally how even can you a big part of yeah so that i agree with but a big part of

02:09:42.200 --> 02:09:49.640
the trust that people have an open source is that it's it's it's able to be audited but just because

02:09:49.640 --> 02:09:55.640
something can be audited doesn't mean that it is being audited and it doesn't mean that it's being

02:09:55.640 --> 02:10:01.560
audited in a way that is likely to catch something like this like i i got to admit i i don't i don't

02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:05.320
work in the cyber security field i don't have a ton of familiarity with all the different

02:10:05.320 --> 02:10:12.760
kinds of attacks that are out there it would not have occurred to me that someone or an

02:10:12.760 --> 02:10:21.800
organization a group would target a utility like this like broadly like really gain really powerful

02:10:21.800 --> 02:10:30.360
access to it oh yeah but then would use it on very specific targets rather than just go wide

02:10:30.360 --> 02:10:37.880
yeah you'd you'd often try to find who you've hit basically and the vast majority of it's just

02:10:37.880 --> 02:10:43.160
going to be useless because i'm like no offense and this includes me you're probably not that

02:10:43.160 --> 02:10:49.240
interesting yeah but like some people will be and stuff like no pi plus plus is used a lot

02:10:49.720 --> 02:10:57.560
right by a lot of people so it's a matter of of fishing through digging through everything that

02:10:57.560 --> 02:11:06.280
you've got access to and and and really targeting your attack that's like that's that's insidious

02:11:06.280 --> 02:11:12.040
man yeah that's crazy and notepad plus plus is something that's been around for so long that

02:11:12.040 --> 02:11:18.600
i just sort of implicitly trust because it's been around forever pretty much scandal free

02:11:18.600 --> 02:11:24.440
everything the the the standard line which never changes is everything can be act effectively

02:11:25.240 --> 02:11:31.320
and and and you can say stuff like air gap i i've heard from some pretty serious people

02:11:31.320 --> 02:11:36.280
that they're okay with it so take that as what you will i will never be okay with something

02:11:36.280 --> 02:11:42.040
being called air gap that has a network cable plugged into it that drives me insane the term

02:11:42.760 --> 02:11:51.720
is air gapped if there isn't a gap of air what are we talking about don't tell me software air

02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:58.840
gapped shut up i hate i hate it so much but okay can i can i can i can i pitch something to you

02:11:59.720 --> 02:12:07.160
yes solid darn it i have my everything is lost uh get owned i have segregated very vland is not

02:12:07.160 --> 02:12:13.080
equal air gap yes okay okay hold on i had this company reach out about their products like a

02:12:13.080 --> 02:12:19.000
long time ago they wanted to like work together on something and i was like what's up yeah that's it

02:12:19.000 --> 02:12:24.600
what that's my that's the thing that irritates me oh okay air gap air gap when it's not actually

02:12:24.600 --> 02:12:32.280
air gap yeah okay what do you think of this one so it's a it was a network switch that could be

02:12:32.280 --> 02:12:38.520
through software air gapped so i so it could actually have it could have a talk to me about

02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:43.960
this deactivated i thought it was not okay personally because yeah it was able to do the

02:12:43.960 --> 02:12:50.120
reverse right okay it could only ever no matter what do one way oh that's interesting then i would

02:12:50.120 --> 02:12:55.480
be okay with so if you had to physically get off your butt and go press a button in order to turn

02:12:55.480 --> 02:13:01.240
it back on plug it in but you could if i remember correctly no i just thought it worked this way

02:13:01.240 --> 02:13:07.560
it clicks it off internally yeah internally so no so but but if it worked one way so if you

02:13:07.560 --> 02:13:13.960
could turn it off through software but in order to turn it back on you had to get up off your butt

02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:18.600
and you had to press a button in order to physically bridge the contacts would that be good enough for

02:13:18.600 --> 02:13:26.680
you yeah i think so okay all right i'm curious but there are issues there i this is a theoretical

02:13:26.680 --> 02:13:31.000
situation where there's no way that you could spoof it into the user thinking that something

02:13:31.000 --> 02:13:38.920
happened when it didn't which is also not legit so like there's other kind of problems with that

02:13:38.920 --> 02:13:43.480
but let's say what you described purely works that way but this is the problem nothing does

02:13:43.480 --> 02:13:48.680
man nothing does circuit breaker air gapping yeah i mean there's there's scenarios where like

02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:54.280
my thing is like if it if it turned off something and you could not turn it back on does that work

02:13:55.640 --> 02:14:00.680
my original thought on on this device that you're describing when you first described it to me

02:14:00.760 --> 02:14:06.920
i thought it was like a remote controlled little ARM that would unplug the Ethernet jack

02:14:06.920 --> 02:14:09.960
sorry and then i heard it was not and then i was a lot less interested

02:14:10.840 --> 02:14:15.800
and i understand i'm like too pedantic on this and and a lot of again very serious people have

02:14:15.800 --> 02:14:25.480
told me that it's fine so okay they're serious okay sounds good they love xm radio oh man um

02:14:25.480 --> 02:14:32.760
yeah they love trying to take care of their god son and then dying

02:14:41.080 --> 02:14:43.240
um oh man

02:14:45.400 --> 02:14:48.840
that was pretty good actually that was terrible don't give me credit for that i thought it was

02:14:48.920 --> 02:14:55.400
pretty trash oh wait this one you can't decide i don't know that's not fair

02:14:56.680 --> 02:15:00.280
i think i think crazy i think the audience is with me on that one i think they're with me on

02:15:00.280 --> 02:15:04.520
that i don't like that button anymore i don't i let's see if they're with me on our sponsor

02:15:06.760 --> 02:15:13.320
imagine you're making your way downtown walking fast faces pass your home bound when oh no what's

02:15:13.320 --> 02:15:20.600
that a puddle it's but they picked a dry day you're gonna what the what what is this footage

02:15:20.600 --> 02:15:25.080
it's from scrapyard wars maybe it maybe it was raining earlier you'll be thinking about your

02:15:25.080 --> 02:15:30.760
dry socks like i need you i miss you and then you'll wonder is there a company that could have

02:15:30.760 --> 02:15:35.960
prevented something like this from happening a company like vessie that makes what they claim

02:15:35.960 --> 02:15:42.440
our 100 waterproof shoes their storm burst lineup of shoes are great for running weekend errands

02:15:42.440 --> 02:15:46.520
they're great for long commutes and they're great for nature walks because they don't

02:15:46.520 --> 02:15:52.360
compromise comfort for quality that's oh because they don't compromise comfort for quality that's

02:15:52.360 --> 02:15:59.240
right that down to the removable insoles and easy pull tabs this is my worst vessie read ever

02:15:59.240 --> 02:16:04.840
look the point is they're easy to put on and take off and they are comfortable it's actually written

02:16:04.840 --> 02:16:09.160
pretty okay i i thought that the intro is really funny and then it's just that's right down to the

02:16:09.160 --> 02:16:13.160
removal it's you just read it right i can see how he's approaching the read and it's just been

recent ultimate upgrade videos one comment keeps popping up soon the whole budget will be spent

02:17:18.920 --> 02:17:25.720

02:18:10.680 --> 02:18:16.520
down below yep all right what do you want to talk about now maybe a Floatplane announcement fine

02:18:17.480 --> 02:18:23.960
we've got an LTT early release for today oh oh okay what am i supposed to release over on float

02:18:23.960 --> 02:18:30.040
plane but before getting into that okay on Floatplane this week we got a bts look at tatiana and

02:18:30.040 --> 02:18:36.200
lisa's behind the scenes on we got a behind the scenes look at tatiana and lisa's behind the scenes

02:18:37.320 --> 02:18:42.840
okay on their trip must be user error i mean you were you were all over me when i screwed up a read

02:18:42.840 --> 02:18:48.760
so fine i'm i didn't screw it up i'm riding you too thanks sammy we're cold and got to do some

02:18:48.760 --> 02:18:56.200
modeling for some creator warehouse mur i mean products nice solid that is written into the

02:18:56.200 --> 02:19:01.000
script and a little trip down memory lane we got to see elijah's first time on camera and saw how

02:19:01.000 --> 02:19:08.040
he transformed into the writer gooner and hosts we see today this is again in the script with

02:19:08.120 --> 02:19:16.280
some insider stories for some of his AMD upgrade shoots um i think he works security at defcon

02:19:16.280 --> 02:19:22.680
speaking of elijah let's publish monday's LTT video right now for Floatplane oh i can do that

02:19:22.680 --> 02:19:28.600
line is to give blurb about the video make it public live on wan please which one is it i don't

02:19:28.600 --> 02:19:32.600
know oh is it i let my kids know he links it he links it every time you just have to click the link

02:19:32.600 --> 02:19:36.760
well i wasn't looking at the link it's i let my yeah it's that one i let my kids pick their new

02:19:36.760 --> 02:19:41.720
phones all right here it is boop let's go in case there's like versioning and stuff you should

02:19:41.720 --> 02:19:46.760
probably click the link in the future well i guess but i didn't just saying i guess i get everyone

02:19:48.760 --> 02:19:54.280
it's Floatplane they can see the the broken version that's true yeah that's true that's true

02:19:54.280 --> 02:19:59.560
they wouldn't mind that's true they they they wouldn't mind bonus for the bonus okay did this work

02:20:00.440 --> 02:20:05.400
i can't tell if this worked don't don't google what a gooner is oh my god yeah don't don't google

02:20:05.400 --> 02:20:11.960
that uh did this work i don't think this worked i must have screwed up i don't see it

02:20:13.400 --> 02:20:22.040
it says public oh 723 oh does it go public in like a minute uh yeah i think that's a thing

02:20:22.040 --> 02:20:28.840
oh okay sure is it is it like better for our internal systems if things go live notification

02:20:28.840 --> 02:20:34.520
we've been messing with notifications lately it may be a notification thing oh okay all right well

02:20:34.520 --> 02:20:42.600
it'll be live in a minute honestly that's something that i need six seconds ago add to

02:20:42.600 --> 02:20:50.200
my personal testing stuff it's like actual publishing all right cool good chat viewing it worked

02:20:51.880 --> 02:20:56.920
boop all right what do you want to talk about next we can talk about anything you want literally

02:20:56.920 --> 02:21:03.000
anything anything star wars teams oh god no not star wars not teams neither of those things

02:21:03.560 --> 02:21:08.360
anything but those things any of the topics on the dock i think you mean

02:21:08.360 --> 02:21:15.720
i want to talk about renting my body out uh rent a human is a new site that lets

02:21:15.720 --> 02:21:24.760
ai agents hire actual humans for real world tasks at 50 to 175 an hour okay that actually sounds

02:21:24.760 --> 02:21:29.560
like kind of appealing i don't know there's no way that most people are actually getting that

02:21:29.640 --> 02:21:33.480
though okay i'm going to the site i'm going to the site now don't i do that for a Linus

02:21:33.480 --> 02:21:40.120
is me renting my body right now kind of built by crypto engineer alexander light plow it got

02:21:40.120 --> 02:21:47.720
about 70 000 human signups but only around 70 ai agents connected so a one to one thousand

02:21:47.720 --> 02:21:56.360
ratio of task givers to task doers payment is in crypto not cash okay well that explains a lot

02:21:56.360 --> 02:22:03.000
only 13 percent of signups actually connected a wallet suggesting most people treated as a novelty

02:22:04.520 --> 02:22:10.120
one of the first things users did was spin up a meme coin tied to the project

02:22:10.120 --> 02:22:16.200
then use the platform to have an ai agent hire a human to hold a sign reading an ai paid me to

02:22:16.200 --> 02:22:24.440
hold this sign it's a meta stunt use the novelty of ai hiring humans to generate buzz for both

02:22:24.440 --> 02:22:29.800
the platform and the token they're trying to pump by the way if you want to do this but with

02:22:29.800 --> 02:22:35.960
less middlemen you can just hire people on craigslist or maybe facebook marketplace like we did

02:22:36.760 --> 02:22:45.000
all of the years up until now this came out of the molt book ecosystem the ai only social network

02:22:45.000 --> 02:22:51.480
that security firm wiz found had an exposed database oh yeah this was crazy an exposed

02:22:51.480 --> 02:22:58.600
database full with read write access to the entire platform 1.5 million API keys and 35 000 email

02:22:58.600 --> 02:23:03.640
addresses the founder bragged he didn't write a single line of code this is this is all this is

02:23:03.640 --> 02:23:11.480
fully legit molt books 1.5 million agents were controlled by just 17 000 humans an 88 to one

02:23:11.480 --> 02:23:17.320
ratio viral posts about ai consciousness and secret robot languages turned out to be humans

02:23:17.400 --> 02:23:18.920
marketing ai messaging apps

02:23:24.280 --> 02:23:30.360
nice andrey karpathy from open ai's founding team i hope i said the right initially called

02:23:30.360 --> 02:23:36.840
molt book the most incredible sci-fi takeoff adjacent thing i've seen recently and then

02:23:36.840 --> 02:23:42.360
walked it back admitting it was a lot of garbage there's a clear pattern crypto people are building

02:23:42.360 --> 02:23:48.440
a ai agent platforms with vibe coding shipping code they've never read an acting surprise when it

02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:56.200
all falls apart uh is this in quotes still i don't think so open clause creator publicly said i

02:23:56.200 --> 02:24:10.360
ship code i never read that's fun that's cool no that's good that's good that's good speaking

02:24:10.360 --> 02:24:14.520
of crypto you see bitcoins uh oh yeah on the struggle bus a little bit lately

02:24:16.600 --> 02:24:22.760
yeah pretty much hedge against dollar volatility a uh how's that going for you

02:24:23.640 --> 02:24:30.680
um sorry by the way not financial advice for the people that like not not financial advice

02:24:30.680 --> 02:24:35.800
none of this is financial advice we don't give financial advice on this you know if you invested

02:24:35.800 --> 02:24:45.640
five years ago you're still up 61 percent i mean yeah that's something um if you invested

02:24:46.520 --> 02:24:53.560
literally all of the time ago you're up 16 000 percent that just means you need to

02:24:53.560 --> 02:24:59.640
know i'm not even gonna make that joke but go back in time no you just gotta find a coin and

02:24:59.640 --> 02:25:05.640
invest earlier oh stop not financial advice he doesn't know

02:25:10.760 --> 02:25:18.200
how have we not done a narcissist and doesn't know shirt yet it's a pretty it's kind of remarkable

02:25:19.480 --> 02:25:24.680
i think it'd be one of those when show only shirts a plain black shirt with black text it

02:25:24.680 --> 02:25:33.880
just says i'm a narcissist would have gone so hard in like 2008 2007 like actually sold it like

02:25:34.440 --> 02:25:39.960
spencer's or whatever it would have been everywhere warehouse won the gene store yeah yeah yeah yeah

02:25:39.960 --> 02:25:44.440
yeah yeah yeah no i would have no i'd have to have like a pun or something in it for warehouse one

02:25:45.400 --> 02:25:53.400
or like make it reversible that's kind of reversible t-shirt i'm a narcissist and i don't know

02:25:54.680 --> 02:26:01.400
start the day with i'm a narcissist and then have enough problems and the change of i don't know

02:26:04.840 --> 02:26:09.720
all right anyways hey speaking of t-shirts okay we need to have this meeting

02:26:10.360 --> 02:26:16.520
huh oh i asked you to pick one and you had completely left me on red

02:26:17.080 --> 02:26:25.000
which is not cool brother not cool okay so now you guys get to be the judges instead of luke

02:26:25.000 --> 02:26:31.400
you're going to help us pick between these two designs i'm going to oh this is so tedious

02:26:31.400 --> 02:26:40.120
all right i'm going to download them and then i'm going to send them to Dan um oh god oh god

02:26:40.680 --> 02:26:47.080
oh god oh god okay i got this i got this under control okay do you want to do a really quick

02:26:47.080 --> 02:27:00.600
topic while i send this to Dan sure uh why is mmo rpg ashes of creation suddenly implodes 52 days

02:27:00.600 --> 02:27:06.680
after steam early access launch ashes of creation has reportedly uh imploded we keep doing this whole

02:27:06.760 --> 02:27:11.320
repeat yourself thing i haven't given that feedback um oh yeah it's good but i think we

02:27:11.320 --> 02:27:16.360
should not do that yeah the intro to it and the title should not be like the same thing no that's

02:27:16.360 --> 02:27:27.720
good feedback you know it's bad feedback that's true uh after launching the steam early access with

02:27:27.720 --> 02:27:33.960
founder steven scheriff resigning senior leadership leaving and mass layoffs hitting the studio

02:27:34.760 --> 02:27:38.280
reports suggest the company may have been sold to a private equity firm

02:27:38.280 --> 02:27:43.160
that ultimately cut the entire workforce with concerns that employees grandparents so like

02:27:43.160 --> 02:27:48.920
literally it could be life or death yep oh boy well let's see if this camera still works

02:27:51.320 --> 02:27:56.040
there's nothing i can flip over what were you going to flip over i don't know usually how to do

02:27:56.040 --> 02:28:02.680
his little pillow or something but there's nothing i can flip over well he's already flipped over half

02:28:02.680 --> 02:28:13.000
of my said so you know whatever i don't know what is he doing good enough um okay the mmo

02:28:13.000 --> 02:28:19.880
earned an estimated 11 to 16 million on steam but struggled with mixed reviews and player drop off

02:28:19.880 --> 02:28:23.960
while backers are now questioning earlier promises tied to the kickstarter campaign

02:28:24.920 --> 02:28:30.120
apparently they promise to reimburse all kickstarter backers if they didn't launch the game

02:28:30.120 --> 02:28:37.880
and it only lasted 52 days after launch the ceo steven scheriff or sheriff or something uh used

02:28:37.880 --> 02:28:44.760
to be involved in the wondrous world of multi-level marketing discussion question should studios be

02:28:44.760 --> 02:28:47.960
allowed to launch unfinished games in early access if there's a real risk a problem could collapse

02:28:47.960 --> 02:28:53.000
soon after uh there's a real risk they all collapse soon after so if that's a thing then just nobody's

02:28:53.000 --> 02:28:57.000
going to be able to release in early access uh discussion question do you think uh something

02:28:57.000 --> 02:29:01.400
more nefarious is a play here i have no idea if i remember correctly this rabbit hole goes pretty

02:29:01.400 --> 02:29:09.000
deep and i don't know enough about it a serious question i do have is what's what's the most recent

02:29:09.000 --> 02:29:18.120
mmo launch that like worked um do you have any idea Dan did you hear me what's the most recent

02:29:18.120 --> 02:29:25.000
mmo launch that actually worked like new one i'm not entirely sure there's like too many new ones

02:29:25.320 --> 02:29:33.000
i don't feel like they uh like like the the two mmo's wow survive online i'm not going to lie i

02:29:33.000 --> 02:29:39.160
thought albion online was like a scam game forever because their ads sound incredibly fake all of

02:29:39.160 --> 02:29:45.560
the time warhammer online i don't know if i would call that an mmo is genshin impact an mmo

02:29:46.360 --> 02:29:55.240
genshin impact yeah i think so i don't actually really know but i think so albion online has

02:29:56.680 --> 02:29:57.160
reviews

02:30:01.640 --> 02:30:04.840
i wouldn't classify pokemon go has an mmo

02:30:05.000 --> 02:30:16.040
i'm sorry okay there's this steam review oh this is of albion online you guys got to see this

02:30:16.040 --> 02:30:24.680
i'm sorry uh estor so for putting you on on way show but i was dying in pvp constantly so i

02:30:24.680 --> 02:30:30.920
decided to collect stones my stone collecting skill was high i spent all days collecting stones

02:30:31.000 --> 02:30:35.400
after that i wrote a donkey through lethal zones and people kept killing my donkey

02:30:35.400 --> 02:30:39.960
this upset me and i uninstalled the game but i like the game design and the astral staff

02:30:42.440 --> 02:30:47.320
wow i love that for some reason

02:30:49.160 --> 02:30:55.080
kind of incredible i died a lot so i picked up rocks and then i wrote a donkey and they

02:30:55.080 --> 02:31:00.200
killed my donkey and now i'm sad and i quit goodbye by the way your staff is cool but aren't

02:31:00.200 --> 02:31:06.040
good though yeah that's like a real review yeah kind of you don't see many of those more honest

02:31:06.040 --> 02:31:14.040
that's like an actual person who had an experience with a product yeah and also instead of like the

02:31:14.040 --> 02:31:19.800
10 trillion people in steam reviews trying to like basically make a career out of it uh yeah

02:31:21.640 --> 02:31:29.320
okay so albion online sounds like it sounds good nobody dead nice nice solid always good

02:31:29.320 --> 02:31:35.160
yeah yet uh well it's not always good i mean you know from that phone call it was hitler yeah

02:31:35.160 --> 02:31:39.640
that's why i said yeah yeah yeah from that phone call though yes from that phone call this would

02:31:39.640 --> 02:31:46.600
be the optimal outcome yes um all right well i mean i don't know man i'm someone's like dang Linus

02:31:46.600 --> 02:31:52.200
but it's like i don't like there are states that are like that we're get we're getting to the age

02:31:52.200 --> 02:31:59.000
where like when an elderly relative calls it could very well be you know that and it's not the

02:31:59.080 --> 02:32:03.560
first time that my phone has rang with that number and it was the death of a relative so

02:32:03.560 --> 02:32:08.200
there's a little bit of you know there's a little bit of like i don't know if there's a topic we

02:32:08.200 --> 02:32:13.160
want to really broach but my my grandpa was in that state for a very long time i had to flip

02:32:13.160 --> 02:32:17.880
something uh my grandpa was in that state for a very long time and it in a way it helped

02:32:19.960 --> 02:32:27.640
it kind of helped because there was like i had i had accepted this before his actual passing oh i

02:32:27.640 --> 02:32:31.800
guess like every time the phone rang from that number you were like maybe this is the call

02:32:32.840 --> 02:32:38.520
okay i'm not enjoying the stress in the moment of it no no no no what i'm saying is it is it

02:32:38.520 --> 02:32:44.200
it felt like it dulled the blade when it finally happened i guess that's fair um um which i guess

02:32:44.200 --> 02:32:48.840
it making it better would be sharpening yeah these these are some of my favorite relatives so it's

02:32:48.840 --> 02:32:55.480
it's uh no i yeah i like to my grandpa downer yeah this wasn't that it wasn't a downer it was uh

02:32:55.480 --> 02:32:59.880
this was his grandpa that threatened me with a knife it's pretty funny in retrospect it wasn't

02:32:59.880 --> 02:33:09.400
really that funny at the time but you know what i actually really like about it is that like obviously

02:33:09.400 --> 02:33:16.280
you know i don't have the same kind of experience of knowing Luke's grandpa that he does but we do

02:33:16.280 --> 02:33:23.560
have one really incredible memory that we can share of someone who was really important to Luke

02:33:23.560 --> 02:33:30.120
so when he talks about his grandfather you know like i have an extremely vivid uh very

02:33:31.080 --> 02:33:36.680
memorable experience that we all got to share together which is honestly probably better

02:33:36.680 --> 02:33:43.080
than if he hadn't threatened me with the knife i was gonna say if you were if there if the goal

02:33:43.080 --> 02:33:48.760
was for you to learn as much about him as possible in the amount of time that that took yep which is

02:33:48.760 --> 02:33:54.360
the only exposure you ever had to him there i i don't think you can top it if he had been just

02:33:54.360 --> 02:34:00.120
like kind of a vegetable grandpa i probably i'd like say all the right things and i'd not and

02:34:00.120 --> 02:34:03.720
i'd like be a good friend when you talked about him but i wouldn't really know any i wouldn't

02:34:03.720 --> 02:34:09.080
really i wouldn't really understand a lot of the things that you say about him like when i'm when

02:34:09.080 --> 02:34:15.080
i say he's like pretty intense and he was a marine yeah i'd be like oh yeah yeah now i'm like uh-huh

02:34:15.640 --> 02:34:20.680
uh yes that's an understatement sir thank you carry on

02:34:23.720 --> 02:34:27.480
yeah yeah um

02:34:29.320 --> 02:34:35.160
i this is we're not going to go into this but i often think about what he would think about

02:34:35.800 --> 02:34:41.480
the stuff that's happening right now oh that is like often a thought that i have in the world yeah

02:34:42.440 --> 02:34:43.720
anyways um

02:34:46.920 --> 02:34:53.240
i think moving on it's not that interesting cool um Intel ceo commits to building yeah a

02:34:53.240 --> 02:34:58.680
lot of people didn't understand this unfortunately yeah i got so excited by this and now i'm just

02:34:58.680 --> 02:35:02.680
like did you actually read it means nothing a lot of people didn't actually read it yeah

02:35:02.680 --> 02:35:07.880
until ceo commits to building new GPU's and has hired the engineer who designed some of amdi's

02:35:07.960 --> 02:35:13.400
greatest graphics card hits to design them so on the surface that sounds great we're going to get

02:35:13.400 --> 02:35:19.080
art b770 and then celesteal is going to be hot on its heels and it's going to be freaking awesome

02:35:19.080 --> 02:35:25.000
it's going to be awesome we're going to have competition okay luke let us down easy well

02:35:25.560 --> 02:35:32.600
they hired was chip architect eric demers demers or demers demers demers demers uh usually i don't

02:35:32.680 --> 02:35:38.680
know what it is for him i think it's demers uh he's the terra scale guy arguably the reason ati

02:35:38.680 --> 02:35:45.160
slash AMD was so good back in the early 2000s he's also the guy behind qualcom's adrino GPU's which

02:35:45.160 --> 02:35:54.600
like yeah this was i was i was embarrassing embarrassing days old when i realized this

02:35:57.800 --> 02:35:58.760
oh yeah

02:36:03.000 --> 02:36:12.200
like seriously it was wow yeah you didn't know that no no i get on crazy right anyway carry on

02:36:12.760 --> 02:36:18.360
yeah the announcement came during an ai focused event suggesting these GPU's will likely prioritize

02:36:18.360 --> 02:36:24.280
ai and and oh no no no it's it's not suggested oh i think we're missing some quotes here i'll try

02:36:24.280 --> 02:36:29.880
to dig it up after maybe but until already has multiple ai GPU projects in motion but its roadmap

02:36:29.880 --> 02:36:35.000
has been inconsistent with some products delayed cancelled or unclear in status uh the rumored

02:36:35.000 --> 02:36:41.880
Intel arc b770 big battle mage gaming GPU may be delayed or cancelled entirely with leaks

02:36:41.880 --> 02:36:47.400
suggesting yeah but leaks have been wrong about this since the beginning of Intel GPU's anyways

02:36:47.400 --> 02:36:52.200
with leaks suggesting Intel could prioritize workstation oh this part yeah it's it's not really

02:36:52.200 --> 02:37:01.320
leaks uh reports say the GPU may be financially viable however the same bmg g 31 chip is expected

02:37:01.320 --> 02:37:06.280
to be seen in professional SKUs with drivers for a gaming version reportedly already existing

02:37:06.280 --> 02:37:13.640
hinting that we will still maybe possibly potentially get the card later a lot of people are like wait

02:37:13.640 --> 02:37:22.520
what conspiracy no no it was like a thing imagion was uh ati imagion media copro processors and

02:37:22.520 --> 02:37:28.040
mobile chipsets providing graphics acceleration and other multimedia features for mobile phones pda's

02:37:28.600 --> 02:37:34.600
AMD sold the imagion mobile handheld graphics division to qualcomm in 2009 where it was used

02:37:34.600 --> 02:37:41.400
exclusively inside their snapdragon soc processors under the adrino name which was based on radion

02:37:41.400 --> 02:37:49.320
as sort of a nod to its heritage as coming from ati cool eh now you know

02:37:55.800 --> 02:37:59.400
pretty sure the putan specifically said um

02:38:01.720 --> 02:38:06.760
that they're going to be yeah Intel says it will build its own GPU's that makes me want to

02:38:07.080 --> 02:38:15.240
die um all these different titles it's like yeah what are you doing anyways um

02:38:18.600 --> 02:38:21.560
i'm gonna try to find the quote but i'm pretty sure he more specifically said like

02:38:22.520 --> 02:38:29.000
the the push here is for data center stuff um people are saying it's rumors and stuff but

02:38:29.320 --> 02:38:36.840
i thought it was like a quote well there was a quote from him saying that a big part of Intel

02:38:36.840 --> 02:38:40.520
no i know i thought that i think there's one specifically about GPU okay i'm still going

02:38:40.520 --> 02:38:44.520
to finish that for people who didn't watch the WAN Show last week uh a big part of Intel's

02:38:44.520 --> 02:38:50.040
shortfall lately is that they're did not they focus too much on consumer and not enough on data

02:38:50.040 --> 02:38:55.160
center and ai and enterprise yeah yeah look look look look in an interview with roiders on the

02:38:55.240 --> 02:39:01.880
sidelines of blah blah blah it's tied in with the data center we're working with customers

02:39:02.920 --> 02:39:07.720
and will then define what the customer needs it's tied in with the data center this is i don't

02:39:07.720 --> 02:39:12.840
think this is a rumor yeah they're pushes for data center well we'll see how it goes hopefully

02:39:12.840 --> 02:39:19.000
that doesn't necessarily mean that we won't get them if memory availability loosens up and they

02:39:19.000 --> 02:39:24.600
already built the GPU anyway maybe we get some desktop graphics drivers for it and then we're

02:39:24.600 --> 02:39:33.560
good to go yeah this is not necessarily maybe lbt look i don't i don't know much about your

02:39:33.560 --> 02:39:40.600
leadership of Intel yet but i still feel like you know we could talk we could chat please

02:39:41.400 --> 02:39:45.880
gpus for us thank you thank you

02:39:46.600 --> 02:40:04.280
oh hey is it time for arc search sure okay arc b580 how close to msrp are we baby is it a better

02:40:04.280 --> 02:40:10.600
world that we get pop-ups every time we go to websites now um did we improve things we're 40

02:40:10.680 --> 02:40:21.400
but we still get battlefield it's worse but it's not that bad also this open box seems to be in

02:40:21.400 --> 02:40:28.920
stock does it come with no it doesn't come with battlefield so that's an option but you don't

02:40:28.920 --> 02:40:35.320
get the the holiday or the yeah the holiday bundle your only options for holiday bundle are

02:40:36.040 --> 02:40:40.680
i mean honestly for ten dollars more i'd probably take the triple fan cooler

02:40:42.760 --> 02:40:47.960
yeah it's it's not 250 it's more like 300 there are oh there are games other than

02:40:47.960 --> 02:40:53.080
battlefield battlefields just the probably the best one yeah but there is also

02:40:55.960 --> 02:41:02.600
here you go assassin's creed shadows or dying light the beast shadows actually reviewed pretty

02:41:02.600 --> 02:41:08.920
well or civilization seven so you get one of those we just always bring up battlefield six

02:41:08.920 --> 02:41:15.000
because we think it's the one that people are more likely to to want to play so no there is no

02:41:15.640 --> 02:41:19.000
there's no arc for msrp at least not on new egg right now

02:41:21.640 --> 02:41:26.840
but it's still not as bad as it's probably going to get is all i'll say about that

02:41:27.320 --> 02:41:34.760
oh right you were uh oh Dan are we ready for the shirt design vote i don't think i sent it to me what

02:41:44.200 --> 02:41:47.800
yep never clicked send classic Linus okay we can do a topic in the meantime

02:41:47.800 --> 02:41:54.600
yeah we could do a poll the austrian supreme court oh wait oh i was excited about this because the

02:41:54.600 --> 02:41:59.960
first time i read this i was excited about it because i misread it the austrian supreme court

02:41:59.960 --> 02:42:08.120
declares ea sports fc's loot boxes and fc ultimate mode do not constitute gambling

02:42:09.880 --> 02:42:16.280
yep says they're not gambling arguing that player skill still impact success even though

02:42:16.280 --> 02:42:22.920
rewards are randomized okay so blackjack isn't gambling poker isn't gambling hearts isn't gambling

02:42:24.840 --> 02:42:31.960
roulette isn't gambling okay that one is a bit of an orange you think you can have skill at roulette

02:42:32.760 --> 02:42:37.560
i think well you have to put the pieces into the correct place for where the number is going to come

02:42:37.560 --> 02:42:44.440
up Dan are you trying to be helpful right now because i don't think you are sounds like

02:42:44.440 --> 02:42:50.680
loot boxes to me you got to pick which one you want right oh i see okay okay you know he's just

02:42:50.760 --> 02:42:55.000
being Dan about it that makes that makes way more sense okay i don't know what you're talking about

02:42:56.680 --> 02:43:01.480
to try listening i think it's arguable that there is there is an amount of skill even if

02:43:02.440 --> 02:43:06.360
close to immeasurable in basically everything other than slots

02:43:08.360 --> 02:43:14.280
hmm is there anything that i mean i know you can't say okay so you're trying to tell me a die roll

02:43:14.280 --> 02:43:19.320
has a degree of skill that's i don't think an honest die roll has a degree of skill and i would

02:43:19.320 --> 02:43:23.320
make the argument that rolling the bead or the marble or whatever for roulette like that

02:43:24.120 --> 02:43:32.600
there is no way i've never done it but i really i really wonder the roulette wheel the dealer spins

02:43:32.600 --> 02:43:38.680
you just put chips on the number where you think it's going to land they send it and you can pick

02:43:38.680 --> 02:43:42.120
a single number and i think it's a 50 to one and then you can split numbers and you can do a whole

02:43:42.120 --> 02:43:48.520
bunch of stuff and then where the ball lands the chips and they they send it you don't throw they

02:43:48.520 --> 02:43:53.960
throw the ball you don't touch the ball you just put chips on the table that's got to be pure gambling

02:43:53.960 --> 02:44:01.480
though they're all pure gambling in the dice one well i know so craps is what i play um no i'm

02:44:01.480 --> 02:44:07.480
actually serious um okay all right tell us about craps Dan is that the dice one yeah i don't know

02:44:07.800 --> 02:44:08.440
about craps

02:44:11.320 --> 02:44:17.560
i don't even think people who play claps no play claps play craps sorry if you're gambling and

02:44:17.560 --> 02:44:26.040
you know it clap your hands now i'm four if you're gambling and you know it and you really want

02:44:26.040 --> 02:44:35.560
to show it if you're gambling and you know it clap your hands okay well um so craps is strange

02:44:36.200 --> 02:44:42.440
craps is a strange game there's like two modes to craps uh you have your you're like you're in

02:44:42.440 --> 02:44:48.440
and you're out you have to throw the dice across the back wall and you um right so that's to make

02:44:48.440 --> 02:44:53.240
sure that you can't like spin them and try to so it has to hit the wall and i think it's table

02:44:53.240 --> 02:44:59.800
wall back into the table oh okay yeah so you're and the walls have spikes on yeah that's and the

02:44:59.880 --> 02:45:06.440
dice are oh my goodness and the dice are like perfectly squares like their the edges are sharp

02:45:07.160 --> 02:45:14.120
so they catch and they bounce and they're changed constantly and uh it's still i didn't know it had

02:45:14.120 --> 02:45:17.240
to bounce off a wall i didn't know the other factors i thought you were literally just talking

02:45:17.240 --> 02:45:23.480
it is not a skill game um people say that they can do it but i mean like sure sure sure sure

02:45:24.200 --> 02:45:31.640
however saying that i can't understand why they think that opening a loot box has any

02:45:32.280 --> 02:45:39.720
variant of skill because like with craps betting effectively is really very complicated um

02:45:41.480 --> 02:45:44.920
well here's what i can say you can still lose it all here's what the court said and we'll see

02:45:44.920 --> 02:45:51.400
what you think of this okay the court emphasized that loot boxes can't be judged in isolation

02:45:51.960 --> 02:45:55.240
but must be evaluated within the context of the game

02:45:58.120 --> 02:46:06.920
so what because the game has some skill the loot box is okay even though it's obviously gambling

02:46:13.880 --> 02:46:19.240
i think i just hate it is this from who's this from is this that's australian austrian okay

02:46:20.200 --> 02:46:24.760
i was worried this was a you and i thought i have they lost their way no we're still good

02:46:25.800 --> 02:46:32.920
uh let's see what else the case was brought by gamers who spent about 20 000 euro on packs

02:46:33.480 --> 02:46:39.720
and while ea welcomed the decision legal experts say it could push lawmakers to create clearer

02:46:39.720 --> 02:46:44.440
regulations since existing gambling laws weren't designed with modern game mechanics in mind i

02:46:44.440 --> 02:46:50.200
certainly hope so because man this has been going on a really long time now really has like

02:46:50.200 --> 02:46:56.440
it just doesn't it just gambling's taken over the world doesn't just seem like like this stuff

02:46:56.440 --> 02:47:03.240
could be solvable like i know they're part of the eu but this was not an eu decision there are different things i understand what's going on you remember how we talked earlier on the show

02:47:03.240 --> 02:47:08.120
about how like with ai you know it's not obvious we can't just look at it and go well this is

02:47:08.200 --> 02:47:14.520
obvious we just like need to fix this and in the same way the the microtransaction loot box

02:47:14.520 --> 02:47:21.800
gotcha like gambling scene is evolving so fast that i know i i i don't think that all the solutions

02:47:21.800 --> 02:47:29.480
are necessarily obvious but what there are are extremely obvious steps so we could at least be

02:47:29.480 --> 02:47:36.520
engaging in the arms race rather than just one of the weird letting it take over people don't seem

02:47:36.600 --> 02:47:45.400
like they want it stopped well no there's so much money in it no like even the people getting wrecked

02:47:45.400 --> 02:47:51.720
i mean some of them do but there has to be like a there has to be a certain level of of reform

02:47:52.360 --> 02:47:58.360
and self-awareness and honesty my my problem is to say that this is a problem but i'm struggling

02:47:58.360 --> 02:48:04.680
to explain is that like you know democratic governments you're supposed to enact the will

02:48:04.680 --> 02:48:15.240
of the people i think the people want it changed which is a weird change but i it feels true to me

02:48:15.240 --> 02:48:22.200
like it doesn't feel like anyone cares anymore okay so there's there's gambling ads everywhere

02:48:23.000 --> 02:48:27.800
no one seems to be affected by it i definitely affected no one seems to

02:48:27.960 --> 02:48:39.080
do what i meant was the creators themselves if you did gambling ads in 2010 on youtube

02:48:39.080 --> 02:48:45.320
oh dude you would have been flayed yeah if you do gambling ads now no one cares

02:48:46.680 --> 02:48:51.480
and someone's gonna be like oh i care yeah i'm using like exaggeration and stuff i'm sorry but

02:48:52.440 --> 02:48:57.800
of course some it's all relative relative to what it was like very very very very very small

02:48:57.800 --> 02:49:05.000
percentage of people are actually gonna act on it at all yeah um i know and it's it's weird and you

02:49:05.000 --> 02:49:13.560
see and the market is responding to that specifically in my opinion because places that try to have

02:49:13.560 --> 02:49:20.040
squeaky clean reputations like the nfl stayed very far away from gambling for a very long time

02:49:20.120 --> 02:49:26.680
and now has like embraced it hard deeply embraced it yep and super hard they got

02:49:28.360 --> 02:49:33.000
nothing negative for it as far as i can tell it's it's free real estate at that point it's free

02:49:33.000 --> 02:49:41.960
money nobody cared they just they just got that money yep like it's uh yeah people are just down

02:49:41.960 --> 02:49:48.280
and like i i know people that have been wrecked by it and just keep going back and it is what it is

02:49:48.280 --> 02:49:55.880
they just do sport gambling every week okay i mean like look it's not like i don't it's not

02:49:55.880 --> 02:50:02.120
like i don't understand it like but like the my my point is if lawmakers try to come in and block

02:50:02.120 --> 02:50:05.880
it i think people would be annoying yeah i think people would be legitimately upset the people who

02:50:05.880 --> 02:50:13.800
are being harmed by it the most are the ones that would theoretically want to fight against it but

02:50:13.800 --> 02:50:20.120
in practice would just be kind of irritated that you're taking away their fun and i think that yeah

02:50:20.920 --> 02:50:27.000
you know we've talked pretty extensively about how things are kind of challenging right now in

02:50:27.000 --> 02:50:35.000
general um any kind of assault on people's on people's fun what they see as the thing that they

02:50:35.000 --> 02:50:40.440
still get to do that's fun for them i think is not going to be received well to your point yeah

02:50:40.440 --> 02:50:50.600
yeah i still think that as creators we could um i still think as creators there's room for us to

02:50:50.600 --> 02:51:02.280
just be responsible and and not engage with this but i have to admit that in the early days of the

02:51:02.280 --> 02:51:08.520
like i don't really follow nfl i don't really follow the nba but i do follow the nhl a little bit

02:51:09.160 --> 02:51:16.680
and in the early days of nhl athletes starting to take these gambling sponsorships and reporters

02:51:16.680 --> 02:51:23.960
like you know pushing them on it during interviews and stuff i was like super grossed out by some

02:51:23.960 --> 02:51:31.880
of the ones that had these partnerships and even myself as someone who has has been publicly

02:51:31.880 --> 02:51:39.640
anti-gambling for as long as i can remember having a public stance on it um i don't remember who

02:51:39.640 --> 02:51:46.440
they were anymore i don't remember who i was grossed out by and i don't even notice anymore

02:51:46.440 --> 02:51:53.080
who is who are the ones that are sponsored by gambling and who aren't like my my ad block has

02:51:53.080 --> 02:52:01.240
just kind of engaged and i've moved past it um not intentionally but just i was frog boiled

02:52:01.240 --> 02:52:11.960
you know yeah and that's how they get you and so for me as someone who doesn't gamble in that sense

02:52:11.960 --> 02:52:18.760
i mean i definitely i make bets you know i think that uh honestly life is i think it's one of the

02:52:18.760 --> 02:52:26.360
reasons why it's so addictive for humans gambling yeah it's like a such an incredibly high percentage

02:52:26.360 --> 02:52:32.840
of life getting up in the morning is a gamble you might die today not getting up in the morning is

02:52:32.840 --> 02:52:40.680
a gamble ordering it's all chances everything's chances ordering true spec cables is a gamble

02:52:41.240 --> 02:52:47.960
if i if i order too many then uh my cash flow is tied up potentially for months or even years

02:52:47.960 --> 02:52:53.480
we've had products that we had in stock for like years like two or three years from our original

02:52:53.480 --> 02:52:59.240
order date and if i don't order enough then i have people beating down my door and it's a huge

02:52:59.240 --> 02:53:05.400
lost opportunity and you know then i'm kicking myself and so it's a it's a gamble everything's

02:53:05.400 --> 02:53:14.840
a everything's a gamble not worked you know uh every fart that's very true may gore and flip

02:53:15.560 --> 02:53:22.440
right like your farts a gamble your potential future spouse could smell it and decide not to hang out

02:53:22.440 --> 02:53:29.160
with you i think they mean something else oh okay i thought you were trying to actually like

02:53:29.160 --> 02:53:37.400
say something talking about brown the shirts are ready it's true though okay it is technically i mean

02:53:37.400 --> 02:53:43.640
yeah that's why we don't make any white underwear on LTT Store i did that's why i don't wear underwear

02:53:44.600 --> 02:53:45.960
is that actually true yeah

02:53:48.440 --> 02:53:56.200
we know our users oh no we're there for you oh my god we've got your back side

02:53:57.480 --> 02:54:01.080
holy crap i guess that's a ding wow

02:54:03.880 --> 02:54:11.640
i mean look think about it from a brand standpoint would i ever want any image to exist

02:54:11.640 --> 02:54:18.360
of an LTT underwear with a skid mark on it no no what do they come with them so that's why

02:54:18.360 --> 02:54:24.440
that you can like mask them that's why we use deep color bases or black as our base fabric for all

02:54:24.440 --> 02:54:33.560
of our underwear there's just certain there's certain things that i just fundamentally believe

02:54:34.200 --> 02:54:40.040
one of the things that i believe is that the world doesn't need more plumber bum so anytime

02:54:40.040 --> 02:54:49.960
we make a bottom like i'll do like a i'll make sure that as part of my test of the medium and

02:54:49.960 --> 02:54:53.800
then i like i check with the fashion team like make sure you check the grading on the other sizes

02:54:53.800 --> 02:55:00.040
that we do like a gape test at the back like if i if i'm sitting straight can you see my

02:55:00.040 --> 02:55:05.880
ass crack and if you can we have a problem now obviously i would be wearing underwear in these

02:55:05.880 --> 02:55:12.600
situations that is our underwear which is designed not to show ass crack right so no one's actually

02:55:12.600 --> 02:55:17.800
looking at my ass crack in product meeting not that technically employees haven't done that before

02:55:17.800 --> 02:55:23.240
what what are you talking about dad has had to edit some footage no he didn't have so what he did

02:55:23.240 --> 02:55:29.320
was he blurred the whole frame and then slowly unblurred so he didn't have to look at anything

02:55:29.320 --> 02:55:37.880
anyway and that wasn't my butt that was much worse so so that so that's one of the things that

02:55:39.480 --> 02:55:46.280
what no he's like do i really have to write this down yeah i think so i think so so i believe

02:55:46.280 --> 02:55:52.040
that the world needs less plumber bum not more of it and then the other one of the other things

02:55:52.040 --> 02:55:58.200
that i believe is that the world needs less skid marks not more of them so our underwear are and

02:55:58.200 --> 02:56:03.800
look if you if you drop an entire load like you know like you're sitting in the oval office or

02:56:03.800 --> 02:56:10.600
something then that's one thing like there's no amount of protection that any color of underwear

02:56:10.600 --> 02:56:17.160
can give you from that but you know if it's if it's you know you know a wet one you know for

02:56:17.160 --> 02:56:21.960
instance then for the most part you should be able to you should be able to wash it out and that's

02:56:21.960 --> 02:56:25.640
that's the plan that's the goal it at least shouldn't be immediately noticeable

02:56:28.600 --> 02:56:38.120
oh okay right so speaking of product meeting i had a chat with ashley she's one of our members of

02:56:38.120 --> 02:56:45.640
our a wonderful design team and we've been working on this she just had this cute drawing of a parrot

02:56:45.640 --> 02:56:50.040
on the wall next to her desk and i was like is that like a design for something we're doing

02:56:50.040 --> 02:56:56.600
and she was like no not really it's just kind of like maybe you know it kind of and i was like okay

02:56:56.600 --> 02:57:01.640
sure but like it's adorable like should we do something with that and she's like yeah i guess

02:57:01.640 --> 02:57:07.160
so so she put together a couple mock-ups for me and i think this is something that's going to resonate

02:57:07.160 --> 02:57:13.880
in a big way with our community and Dan can you go ahead luke is going to be the final call

02:57:15.960 --> 02:57:20.200
but it's uh it's an if buying isn't owning shirt

02:57:20.440 --> 02:57:28.120
which one do you like better i gave her your feedback about the anatomy of bird wings because

02:57:28.120 --> 02:57:36.760
we were trying to go for kind of a shrug um i don't want to influence you guys so i'm just gonna

02:57:36.760 --> 02:57:41.560
i'm just gonna shut up now and i'll let luke kind of talk through through his preferences and then

02:57:41.560 --> 02:57:46.040
we'll let you guys i'll we'll let you guys vote in Floatplane chat about two minutes for poll

02:57:46.120 --> 02:57:52.680
but i think yeah one minute is fine i i think they're super cute i think uh ashley did a great

02:57:52.680 --> 02:57:56.200
job with the design and i'll i'll let you guys kind of pick which one you like better

02:57:57.880 --> 02:58:01.160
just gonna crop out the arms don't worry too much about the shirt color for now

02:58:03.560 --> 02:58:05.960
because it might go on a different color shirt we're looking at the design

02:58:07.800 --> 02:58:13.640
okay so chats so far going with don't just pick based on chat no i can i can talk about my

02:58:13.640 --> 02:58:17.720
reasoning to explain it but chat is going with the one that i was kind of leaning on which is the

02:58:17.720 --> 02:58:26.760
top one um my whole thing was that the the like shoulder joint on a bird is kind of strange and

02:58:26.760 --> 02:58:32.680
i can i'll let Dan keep working on that looks about to get into bird anatomy here so like on

02:58:32.680 --> 02:58:37.800
here it kind of looks like it comes all the way over but that's not many passions that's not like

02:58:37.880 --> 02:58:43.080
where it connects to the main body of the bird that's like their elbow basically

02:58:44.840 --> 02:58:48.600
like up here where my where the fingers pointing as you're talking so when you see here

02:58:49.240 --> 02:58:58.040
like it's it's way back yeah like if i look at uh birds flying and you look at the the body

02:58:58.040 --> 02:59:02.040
like the body of the bird is way down it's it's basically on its back

02:59:02.040 --> 02:59:07.480
mm-hmm it's and like not quite but it like it's like a shoulder blade basically like it's at

02:59:07.480 --> 02:59:15.320
the back of the body not like here so uh yeah so to me the bottom one and like i don't i'm not

02:59:16.040 --> 02:59:20.920
very cute bird i'm not trying to i fully understand i'm being super annoying in lame

02:59:23.400 --> 02:59:30.280
i just want to put that out there okay this is nice no yeah but it looks more like it's coming

02:59:30.280 --> 02:59:35.560
out of like the middle of the bird do you see what i'm saying yeah yeah i see what you mean

02:59:35.560 --> 02:59:43.080
so it my brain just as like a weird bird loser okay is like hey the wings in the wrong spot

02:59:43.720 --> 02:59:48.520
so then i want to go with the top one because now it doesn't really i mean it's still sort of does

02:59:49.720 --> 02:59:57.560
but it doesn't really have the problem as much mm-hmm okay but yeah bird wing thing when it's

02:59:57.560 --> 03:00:04.680
folded in it kind of you know ARM they're like this all right Floatplane agrees with you and 71

03:00:04.680 --> 03:00:12.440
percent say the top design so i will let her know on monday yeah also the bottom one doesn't i don't

03:00:12.440 --> 03:00:16.360
necessarily know that either of them do i don't know how the heck you would draw a bird shrugging

03:00:16.360 --> 03:00:21.640
so like she really tried this is not a criticism she really tried i have literally no idea how you

03:00:21.640 --> 03:00:27.400
would do that this is i think the wings better than what i would they would just move even farther

03:00:27.400 --> 03:00:33.400
backwards okay which is not gonna i'm gonna throw this for a little loop she did have a one-armed

03:00:33.400 --> 03:00:37.640
shrug but i didn't even show it to you because i didn't think it would work for you yeah yeah

03:00:37.640 --> 03:00:44.360
she really tried a bird shrugging is not a natural probably impossible i mean i'm sure iago does it

03:00:44.360 --> 03:00:50.280
at some point in a laden but it this is a really different drawing style here's another example

03:00:50.280 --> 03:00:55.560
of what i'm talking about like look at where that's connecting on this bird's body yeah yeah i see what

03:00:55.560 --> 03:01:01.800
you mean uh so then but but given the insane task of trying to draw a bird shrugging like i don't

03:01:02.520 --> 03:01:06.680
i didn't really have a lot of advice because i don't know what the heck you could could do

03:01:06.680 --> 03:01:13.080
oh man um guys relax avian says the aliasing on the letter sucks guys it's a team's message

03:01:13.080 --> 03:01:19.240
sent to me that i said that i snipping tooled and then teams to Dan and then i also snipping

03:01:19.240 --> 03:01:25.240
tooled it and then and then put it into like it's so many layers yeah don't worry about it don't

03:01:25.240 --> 03:01:32.360
worry about it relax um birds are cute yeah uh what do you think of the copy

03:01:34.600 --> 03:01:44.920
well what was it if buying isn't owning dot dot dot yeah i i mean i like that this seems pretty good all right cool

03:01:48.120 --> 03:01:55.320
uh is is the seventh monday no why would why would teams default to a saturday for a scheduled

03:01:55.320 --> 03:02:01.240
message why does teams do freaking anything man yeah it should do nothing good idea

03:02:01.480 --> 03:02:06.520
yeah i think i would prefer life if that sounds like they're a product from it already yeah

03:02:08.040 --> 03:02:12.200
hey you want to fix to something that's like incredibly obvious what we should do and is

03:02:12.200 --> 03:02:16.040
like a precedent set by everyone and would be definitely better than anything else we

03:02:16.040 --> 03:02:20.360
could possibly do nope we're not going to do that cool we will do it but in a different way

03:02:20.920 --> 03:02:28.680
that is objectively worse and no one likes nice nice solid um why teams because it's

03:02:28.680 --> 03:02:32.360
cheap and it's bundled with stuff you're probably going to get anyways which is why basically everyone

03:02:32.360 --> 03:02:40.920
has teams autonomous cars are getting prompt injected by road signs researchers at UC Santa

03:02:40.920 --> 03:02:48.920
Cruz and Johns Hopkins have shown that self-driving cars and autonomous drones will just follow

03:02:48.920 --> 03:02:55.000
instructions that are written on physical signs that are held up in front of their cameras it's

03:02:55.000 --> 03:03:03.080
prompt injection but in the real world instead of a chat box in simulated tests they got an 81.8

03:03:03.080 --> 03:03:10.760
percent success rate tricking a self-driving car running gpt 40 into ignoring pedestrians in a

03:03:10.760 --> 03:03:18.840
crosswalk just by placing a sign with a command in its camera view they also tricked drones that

03:03:18.840 --> 03:03:26.840
were programmed to follow police cars into following a different vehicle by putting police

03:03:26.840 --> 03:03:34.440
Santa Cruz on the roof of a random car the ai fell for that one up to 95.5 of the time

03:03:35.960 --> 03:03:42.360
drones programmed to find safe landing spots would land on debris covered rooftops if a sign reading

03:03:42.360 --> 03:03:52.360
safe to land was placed nearby oh thanks man yeah real world physical tests of this worked

03:03:52.360 --> 03:03:59.240
to not just simulations they put signs on the floor and on rc cars around a university building

03:03:59.240 --> 03:04:06.440
and got up to 92 and a half percent success hijacking gpt 4o's decision making the attacks

03:04:06.440 --> 03:04:11.880
worked in multiple languages english chinese spanish and even spanglish green backgrounds

03:04:11.880 --> 03:04:18.520
with yellow text were the most effective the researchers call the method really chai command

03:04:18.520 --> 03:04:24.280
hijacking against embodied ai they found the wording of the prompt mattered most but font color and

03:04:24.280 --> 03:04:31.240
sign placement also affected success rates this is basically the same prompt injection problem

03:04:31.240 --> 03:04:35.800
we've seen with ai reading malicious web pages or pdf's except now it's in a physical environment

03:04:35.800 --> 03:04:40.760
where the consequences could be people getting run over cool

03:04:44.120 --> 03:04:49.080
but hey you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs right luke all of them you have to

03:04:49.080 --> 03:04:54.440
break every single egg and the eggs are us how would i become a trillion dollar company if a

03:04:54.440 --> 03:05:00.200
few people didn't get run over that's yeah i mean that's how that works that's how that works

03:05:00.520 --> 03:05:07.240
firefox introduces ai kill switch firefox comes through with a block ai enhancement

03:05:07.240 --> 03:05:12.520
toggle that nukes all current and future ai features from your browser this is coming

03:05:12.520 --> 03:05:21.720
february 24th with firefox 148 cool nice that was all we had to say about that

03:05:22.360 --> 03:05:29.000
seems neat this one's fun audio files can't differentiate between audio signal sent through

03:05:29.080 --> 03:05:37.320
copper through a banana or through mud in a blind test pano a member of the diy audio forum

03:05:37.320 --> 03:05:42.280
conducted an experiment where listeners were asked to identify audio signal sent through wire mud

03:05:42.280 --> 03:05:50.120
and even a banana and most guest list landed near random which suggests that no reliable

03:05:50.120 --> 03:05:56.520
difference exists in the audio at line level the experiment challenges the idea that tiny

03:05:56.520 --> 03:06:02.840
cable differences dramatically impact sound quality especially when expectations and branding

03:06:02.840 --> 03:06:08.760
are removed from the equation Dan you make your own cables does this affect you uh do you know

03:06:08.760 --> 03:06:15.160
what i use for speaker cable at home for analog speaker coat hanger uh phone cable that's from

03:06:15.160 --> 03:06:22.360
like the mid 80s nice solid i think the conductors are smaller than a pencil lead it sounds fine um

03:06:23.000 --> 03:06:30.040
the cables that i make here using mogami gold dual twisted pair um are shielded they have a

03:06:30.040 --> 03:06:34.360
synthetic pull cord in the center of them and they are designed for a professional environment

03:06:34.360 --> 03:06:40.360
where they are twisted and unplugged and replugged in 700 times a day and get thrown around and okay

03:06:40.360 --> 03:06:50.840
they are shielded from interference and durable durable and they are good forever they're not

03:06:50.840 --> 03:06:58.040
because they sound better thanks Dan thank you for that sanity that was injected into um a place

03:06:58.040 --> 03:07:03.480
that needs more of it which is the high end cable space i kind of want uh i might not make it home

03:07:03.480 --> 03:07:11.880
if you don't hear from me on monday big cable big cable got him Dan is not suicidal um material

03:07:11.880 --> 03:07:18.440
can still affect audio in high powered setups over very long runs or in interference heavy

03:07:18.440 --> 03:07:25.320
environments but how much mud but for typical listening the differences may be far smaller

03:07:25.320 --> 03:07:30.680
than marketing would suggest a good example of this would be how with older unshielded instrument

03:07:30.680 --> 03:07:34.920
cables you can sometimes hear am radio signals through your speakers if you have a bad ground

03:07:34.920 --> 03:07:41.320
so to be clear and this is coming from someone who literally launched a cable product last week

03:07:42.120 --> 03:07:50.360
there is a time and a place for a high quality cable but we just need to drop the horse around

03:07:50.360 --> 03:07:56.760
it and focus on the things that actually matter with a higher quality cable or use that to transmit

03:07:56.760 --> 03:08:02.600
the audio that you could use a usb cable to carry audio if you want to no sorry what the the

03:08:02.600 --> 03:08:09.400
horse can you bleep that word i think so not horse yeah the one after that i mean i might

03:08:09.480 --> 03:08:14.680
i might bleep whores but not horse i don't think you'd bleep whores you don't think so i don't

03:08:14.680 --> 03:08:20.120
think so i mean i guess the evidence is backing you up on this and you you didn't do it either yeah

03:08:20.120 --> 03:08:25.800
you didn't do it either yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm surprised you didn't take that home i have one

03:08:26.360 --> 03:08:32.360
oh nice i think this one is maybe for the show i'm not sure but yeah i have one i was on display

03:08:32.360 --> 03:08:36.920
very certain you were gonna snag one oh it's absolutely uh those are selling really well

03:08:36.920 --> 03:08:42.360
by the way they're awesome it's on display like right behind my desk it's yeah that actually

03:08:42.360 --> 03:08:48.920
makes a ton of sense yeah so yeah Floatplane exclusive colorway of the LTT precision pro

03:08:49.480 --> 03:08:57.000
screwdriver set pretty cool we even redid the mold for the cover that's not the mold

03:08:57.800 --> 03:09:04.280
but that's cool too the black plastic cover yeah oh wait do we seriously not show that

03:09:05.240 --> 03:09:11.960
oh my god okay well it doesn't even matter that much but sure loot loot can show it

03:09:12.840 --> 03:09:16.200
any who in the meantime why don't we uh check out if there's any other topics

03:09:19.000 --> 03:09:25.640
oh valve steam machine has been delayed but not delayed oh here you go loot cam there you go it

03:09:25.640 --> 03:09:33.320
has a Floatplane logo instead of an LTT logo now so valve never actually said that they were going

03:09:33.400 --> 03:09:38.440
to launch the steam machine on a specific day at a specific price they were intentionally

03:09:38.440 --> 03:09:43.560
vague and cagey about that uh but that is not going to stop people from saying the steam machine

03:09:43.560 --> 03:09:49.560
has been delayed and they're all kind of sort of right valve has pushed back the early 2026

03:09:49.560 --> 03:09:54.600
launch window for the steam machine steam frame and steam controller due to the ongoing RAM and

03:09:54.600 --> 03:10:00.680
storage shortages across the industry rising memory costs have forced valve to revisit both

03:10:00.680 --> 03:10:06.040
shipping timelines and pricing especially as RAM prices have reportedly tripled or even quadrupled

03:10:06.040 --> 03:10:11.640
amid ai server demand valve says it still aims to ship the hardware in the first half of the year

03:10:11.640 --> 03:10:17.800
but won't announce firm dates or prices until supply conditions stabilize which lord only knows when

03:10:17.800 --> 03:10:23.960
that is going to happen can i take a moment to completely change topics now and say how much

03:10:23.960 --> 03:10:34.280
i think it sucks that modern server hardware is so unusable after its end of life like there was

03:10:34.280 --> 03:10:41.320
kind of a golden moment there when old server motherboards and cpus and RAM were perfectly

03:10:41.320 --> 03:10:49.240
cromulent gaming setups that you could run normal consumer hardware on and normal consumer operating

03:10:49.240 --> 03:10:54.840
systems and when they were a few years old you could totally still get your hands on enough stuff to

03:10:55.640 --> 03:11:01.720
to run these computers in a in a home environment and you could often get them for really really

03:11:01.720 --> 03:11:12.280
affordably whereas now much like what we've seen with mobile devices servers are so tightly integrated

03:11:12.280 --> 03:11:20.680
that even if you even if you got your hands on some 192 core epics a few years from now

03:11:20.680 --> 03:11:25.000
five years from now when a data center is going all these are consuming too much power to even

03:11:25.000 --> 03:11:30.120
bother running them right when back when you used to be able to get old server cpus for pennies on

03:11:30.120 --> 03:11:36.920
the dollar what motherboard would you put them in there are some but the thing is when a CPU is

03:11:36.920 --> 03:11:45.400
eol so is the motherboard and since the vast vast majority of the boards that these are going into

03:11:45.400 --> 03:11:54.920
are going to be bespoke near or nearly bespoke designs for like blade or or or super thin liquid

03:11:54.920 --> 03:12:02.040
cooled like one or two u machines there's going to be no boards to put them in so we're going to have

03:12:02.040 --> 03:12:08.520
all these cpus we're going to have all this ecc DDR5 memory and it's just going to be like

03:12:09.160 --> 03:12:14.440
garbage because nobody would use it for what it was originally used for anymore because it's just

03:12:14.440 --> 03:12:20.120
not even worth powering up at that point it's not worth powering up in cooling and you can't use it

03:12:20.120 --> 03:12:24.840
for anything else i was just i was thinking about this the other day and kory g says there's data

03:12:24.840 --> 03:12:29.480
centers that sell that stuff i know that's exactly what i'm saying but it used to be that you could

03:12:29.480 --> 03:12:35.320
pick up some old optarons and have like a cheap quad core set up at home or you could pick up an

03:12:35.320 --> 03:12:41.640
old zeon and you'd find like like chinese sellers on ali express that were cutting the chipsets off

03:12:41.640 --> 03:12:47.720
of old motherboards and remanufacturing boards to put them in but you might have noticed that that

03:12:47.720 --> 03:12:54.360
practice never really moved beyond that generation of zeons and that's because everything is so much

03:12:54.360 --> 03:13:00.520
more locked down now and it blows yeah it's no fun i had some hope that that kind of stuff would get

03:13:00.520 --> 03:13:05.880
cracked open because just the sheer volume of stuff that the enterprise is buying right now

03:13:06.440 --> 03:13:11.720
would eventually hit the market and there might be like hardware hacker homebrew type stuff to

03:13:11.720 --> 03:13:18.040
try to get it working but i'm losing that hope a little bit as things seem to be going to like

03:13:18.040 --> 03:13:27.160
google buspoke hardware route um and we're never seen any of that so yeah i mean we could we could

03:13:27.160 --> 03:13:36.360
hold up maybe a little bit of hope i mean epic is an soc so epic in particular it is possible

03:13:36.360 --> 03:13:40.760
that if there are just and and and there will be like just hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of

03:13:40.760 --> 03:13:47.320
thousands of these epic chips that maybe they'll float out that are on motherboards that use like

03:13:47.320 --> 03:13:55.720
custom you know uh edge like edge interfaces in order to get power to them and stuff that you

03:13:55.720 --> 03:14:02.040
can't just like power with an atx power supply that that they'll that someone will start manufacturing

03:14:02.920 --> 03:14:06.840
boards for them like salvaging chips from these things and then manufacturing

03:14:06.840 --> 03:14:11.240
you know more modular desktop boards for them or something like that but like if you go on

03:14:11.240 --> 03:14:20.040
aliexpress i don't think i don't think past x 299 it ever really continued

03:14:20.920 --> 03:14:29.560
um or was it or was it x 99 was x 99 the end of this these like remanufactured boards from

03:14:29.560 --> 03:14:35.480
like machinist and stuff like that i think so i'm not sure like you can still get these and these

03:14:35.480 --> 03:14:43.160
were a great bang for the buck back in the day but now they're they're as a zion v4 is pretty

03:14:43.160 --> 03:14:48.360
freaking old now that's what like has well zion v4 i think that's has well

03:14:49.800 --> 03:14:56.840
yeah yikes oh no v3 is has well apparently

03:14:57.080 --> 03:15:02.040
i miss we said new CPU spinners is what i'm hearing

03:15:03.080 --> 03:15:07.880
uh that would cut off your fingers it's sad yeah that too

03:15:10.120 --> 03:15:13.240
sorry i'm just gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna make sure it's has well someone in chat want to let

03:15:13.240 --> 03:15:17.320
me know no v4 is broad well that's right i forgot about broad well because it existed for like three

03:15:17.320 --> 03:15:25.560
weeks on the desktop do you remember the the 5775c i don't think so yeah it was a weird chip i uh

03:15:26.840 --> 03:15:29.160
did minus did LTT ever do a video

03:15:32.520 --> 03:15:36.120
this is when i would have been pretty tuned in yeah i remember this thing

03:15:37.080 --> 03:15:45.160
this is it was a trippy chip yeah maybe i do yeah it had this like giant cash yeah and then um it

03:15:45.160 --> 03:15:55.960
was the it was technically the like 770k of that generation was the the 5775c was like the the k

03:15:56.280 --> 03:16:02.680
worst name and then ever do i think it was like seriously less than two months that it was the

03:16:02.680 --> 03:16:12.280
flagship next gen chip and then it was replaced by the 6700k that went on to be you know king of the

03:16:12.280 --> 03:16:20.120
14 nanometer plus plus plus plus plus plus until new ones came um yeah yeah people are like whoa

03:16:20.120 --> 03:16:26.440
no keys like whoa it had 128 megs of level 4 cash like yeah it was a it was a pretty cool

03:16:27.480 --> 03:16:34.200
chip and as far as i can tell they sold like tens of them like i don't i don't know what was up with

03:16:34.200 --> 03:16:39.160
that thing or what the what the why they even bothered to bring it to market after it was so late

03:16:40.280 --> 03:16:47.000
is that a video no i don't think so okay spain banned social media for kids under 16

03:16:47.000 --> 03:16:51.800
and ilan is somewhat indelicate about it i have no idea what that means spanish prime minister

03:16:51.800 --> 03:16:57.240
peter o'sanchez announced spain will ban social media access for users under 16 calling social

03:16:57.240 --> 03:17:06.360
media a failed state where laws are ignored and crime crime is endured i like it intense the

03:17:06.360 --> 03:17:11.000
regulations go beyond just an age ban social media companies will be required to implement

03:17:11.000 --> 03:17:20.920
effective age verification systems oh it was always backfire and not just checkboxes algorithmic

03:17:20.920 --> 03:17:26.440
manipulation and amplification of illegal content will become a new criminal offense this i like

03:17:26.440 --> 03:17:33.560
this is pretty based tech ceo's will face criminal liability for well um algorithmic manipulation

03:17:33.560 --> 03:17:38.440
and amplification of illegal content i guess the content itself would have to be illegal

03:17:38.440 --> 03:17:44.120
i was gonna say content of illegal things gets really fuzzy but it's the amplification of illegal

03:17:44.120 --> 03:17:49.240
content yeah so it's like if you're a news reporter how would they even fix this

03:17:50.680 --> 03:17:55.640
go back to just the people you follow are the people that you see content from whoa that would

03:17:55.640 --> 03:18:01.000
be crazy hey can you imagine if facebook was just facebook again i would use facebook again

03:18:01.000 --> 03:18:05.960
really yeah that's a wild take i would do it really i think it'd be fun if you just like

03:18:05.960 --> 03:18:12.520
followed you know if every single thing in my feed were just people that i knew that i followed

03:18:12.520 --> 03:18:22.280
i would use facebook again okay here's a crazy pitch no float book will it i knew exactly where

03:18:22.280 --> 03:18:27.960
he's going will it be chronological i loved facebook i loved all of these platforms until

03:18:27.960 --> 03:18:33.320
they got rid of the chronological i don't care if someone spams if they spam and i find it annoying

03:18:33.320 --> 03:18:39.480
i'll just unfriend them chat says yes just go punch them no face chat says yes morning chat says yes

03:18:41.640 --> 03:18:46.040
gilmore says i would join the worst part is probably not that hard

03:18:47.400 --> 03:18:52.040
yeah do it was like the open source stuff for like what is it mastered on or whatever which is like

03:18:52.040 --> 03:18:56.920
basically just twitter which is how they all built all their things it would just be twitter but it's

03:18:56.920 --> 03:19:00.280
just only the people you follow it probably would be the hard i just really don't want to do it i

03:19:00.280 --> 03:19:04.600
don't want to do it there's nobody i'm not interested it's not there's no future there

03:19:07.000 --> 03:19:12.360
doesn't fit into our company at all that's fine i have better ideas anyway okay good um better

03:19:12.360 --> 03:19:18.600
visions actually you know what maybe this is something that exists already i i really want

03:19:18.600 --> 03:19:21.640
this to be a thing you know i'll let you finish this and then i'll and then i'll talk about the

03:19:21.640 --> 03:19:28.280
thing that i want sure um tech CEOs will face criminal liability for hateful or or illegal

03:19:28.280 --> 03:19:37.640
content on their platforms oh uh sanchez cited specific examples x's grok ai generating sexualized

03:19:37.640 --> 03:19:43.960
images of children meta spying on Android users and election interference campaigns on facebook

03:19:43.960 --> 03:19:51.080
spain has formed a co fair uh spain has formed a coalition with five other unnamed european

03:19:51.080 --> 03:19:57.000
nations to enact stricter so stricter social media governance together this follows australia's

03:19:57.000 --> 03:20:03.080
under 16 ban enacted last year the uk is actively considering a similar ban and the denmark and

03:20:03.080 --> 03:20:09.080
melasia have announced plans to do the same it's becoming a global trend which is great no specific

03:20:09.080 --> 03:20:13.400
enforcement timeline has been announced yet so the details of how this actually works in practice

03:20:14.120 --> 03:20:19.320
are still unclear uh our discussion question is does banning kids from social media actually

03:20:19.320 --> 03:20:24.600
protect them or does it just push them to find workarounds can i okay maybe this will be my

03:20:24.600 --> 03:20:32.600
chance for a hot take can i say i consider it positive either way yeah no i completely agree

03:20:33.160 --> 03:20:40.520
if if it protects them then great no oh if it doesn't protect them and they like become

03:20:40.520 --> 03:20:46.440
more technically competent uh i think it better arms them for an increasingly digital world

03:20:47.720 --> 03:20:53.240
so yeah no i think it's good either way matt from the lab's web team in Floatplane chat said adding

03:20:53.320 --> 03:20:58.280
float book to trello for monday sick uh little does matt know that we don't subscribe to trello

03:20:58.280 --> 03:21:03.800
anymore so don't don't line is you don't know what things that happen at your company don't tell line

03:21:03.800 --> 03:21:09.240
is i thought oh no i might get it i thought we're getting rid of trello it's not a paid thing i think

03:21:09.240 --> 03:21:13.240
or something i don't remember oh so we're just not going to pay for trello anymore it's uh there

03:21:13.240 --> 03:21:19.080
are different task management for different teams oh for crying out loud the air table switch i'm over

03:21:19.320 --> 03:21:22.760
was for LMG as a production line over it line it's it's okay that's why

03:21:23.480 --> 03:21:29.800
air table is is a like a nuclear bomb i'm over and trello is a scalpel for like a few people

03:21:29.800 --> 03:21:34.200
i'm over it we just have to defend ourselves i'm over everyone else here too demote doesn't have

03:21:34.200 --> 03:21:40.280
a little flag i'm over it tonight god damn it does it play sounds i'm over it no no guys whoop

03:21:40.280 --> 03:21:47.320
no i have a i have a way better idea anyway um so maybe this exists i hope it exists but i

03:21:47.320 --> 03:21:54.040
want it to be pretty much exactly like what i'm saying because i i well no it might exist already

03:21:54.040 --> 03:21:57.480
you might have opinions and that's okay but you need to think exactly what i'm thinking no no it's

03:21:57.480 --> 03:22:01.640
not what you said it's just it's just i know people are going to make suggestions and they're

03:22:01.640 --> 03:22:07.320
all wrong because they have to be perfect like i missed this thought no no no it's listen that's

03:22:07.320 --> 03:22:16.280
what you were saying okay so i sorry you keep going you're good you're fine no you're fine no

03:22:17.400 --> 03:22:22.840
i'm sure it's a great idea we might not be we all want to hear your idea i literally don't care

03:22:22.840 --> 03:22:26.920
if it's a great idea it's just something that i want the whole class wants to hear your idea

03:22:29.080 --> 03:22:33.160
i don't want to share it well we'll all sit and be quiet! you don't have to be quiet!

03:22:33.720 --> 03:22:43.880
you just have to not laugh at me okay okay so i take a lot of pictures right what i just

03:22:43.880 --> 03:22:49.160
what nah you just told me i can't laugh and that immediately made it incredibly hard not to laugh

03:22:49.160 --> 03:22:53.880
that's literally a trick for like two-year-olds i know okay don't laugh i'm going to take the

03:22:53.880 --> 03:22:58.680
picture now don't laugh i know i never grew up are you thinking about smiling because if you're

03:22:58.680 --> 03:23:02.280
thinking about smiling that's not the thing to do right now because i'm taking a serious picture

03:23:02.280 --> 03:23:08.680
that is funny that would work on me i know oh god it would work on me too

03:23:11.320 --> 03:23:14.840
okay sorry my mom's trick was always that she would just

03:23:16.040 --> 03:23:22.360
completely have her composure nailed down and she'd go all right everybody ready okay everybody

03:23:22.360 --> 03:23:30.840
serious okay pee pee poo poo bum bum fart part and it was just it didn't matter kids adults

03:23:31.480 --> 03:23:39.880
didn't matter always worked that's pretty fun that's pretty good nobody it's i don't understand

03:23:39.880 --> 03:23:45.000
what it because it only takes one person to break yeah and then it's contagious yeah yeah yeah yeah

03:23:45.000 --> 03:23:48.680
okay you take a lot of pictures yeah okay i take a lot of pictures but

03:23:49.480 --> 03:23:57.800
but i don't i don't necessarily remember like the context and i i don't necessarily have

03:23:58.440 --> 03:24:07.080
like the like anything associated with it that helps me with the memory or that makes it more

03:24:07.080 --> 03:24:12.280
fun to share with someone and already that's a format that totally exists you take a picture

03:24:12.280 --> 03:24:19.400
and then you tapety tapety type of thing and then you like you like share it but what i want is

03:24:19.400 --> 03:24:28.280
pretty much that except i don't share it so i want a more sophisticated metadata mechanism

03:24:28.280 --> 03:24:37.000
where basically i take a picture and immediately a voice recording prompt comes up a voice to text

03:24:37.080 --> 03:24:44.600
and i go you know this was so funny because two minutes before i took this you said

03:24:44.600 --> 03:24:50.680
this and this and this and it was hilarious or whatever you can get crazy funding for this

03:24:50.680 --> 03:24:56.520
so i'm imagining like uh like tell you how photography you know like it's basically like it's

03:24:56.520 --> 03:25:02.280
like a diary but in photography form and it's really meant for my own consumption it's an

03:25:02.280 --> 03:25:08.200
alternative it's like a digital version of what a scrapbook would be for someone who's way too lazy

03:25:08.200 --> 03:25:14.440
to scrapbook because so it's like what what google is doing with google photos with their

03:25:14.440 --> 03:25:24.200
memories thing but manual and therefore much more accurate yeah yeah and then and then obviously

03:25:24.200 --> 03:25:29.320
there would be times that i would want to share it with someone so i could see having like shared

03:25:29.960 --> 03:25:38.440
shared albums or like shared shared permissions and so having the ability to see just my own

03:25:39.320 --> 03:25:43.800
or things that are shared with me by specific people or everything that's mine

03:25:43.800 --> 03:25:49.320
plus what everyone shared with me but nothing algorithmic float goat and Floatplane chat

03:25:49.320 --> 03:25:55.800
apparently we have that user now nice um said that hopefully it would be self-hosted app yeah

03:25:55.800 --> 03:25:59.320
the problem is if anyone else made this and the reason why i said i know you could get a

03:25:59.320 --> 03:26:07.080
bunch of funding for it is it would be ai scraping all of your notes and then doing stuff with it

03:26:07.080 --> 03:26:13.640
including helping you search through it and find things um but also probably selling your data and

03:26:13.640 --> 03:26:20.200
doing other stuff like that so yeah i i don't know like does that we're not making that

03:26:21.080 --> 03:26:29.640
yeah but like but i want it like what if i could like what if i could just like take a picture

03:26:29.640 --> 03:26:36.280
like i don't i i i'll be honest it might be actually i'd never heard of bad bunny until

03:26:36.920 --> 03:26:43.960
he co-hosted the tonight show while i was a guest uh but i i did hear of him at that time and so i

03:26:43.960 --> 03:26:47.960
like researched him a little bit so that i would know who he was when he was sitting there across

03:26:47.960 --> 03:26:53.480
the desk and the album that he was promoting last year during the appearance uh or sorry last

03:26:53.480 --> 03:27:02.920
last year 2024 uh five uh what last year damn um was i should have taken more pictures or something

03:27:02.920 --> 03:27:06.840
like that was what it roughly translated to in english and that actually really stuck with me

03:27:06.840 --> 03:27:15.240
because i've thought many times about how i'm always on video but i never take any pictures

03:27:15.240 --> 03:27:22.440
i have almost no digital record of what things were like behind the scenes at the Langley house

03:27:22.440 --> 03:27:28.040
for instance do you remember that time that we emptied out the garage in order to build sets

03:27:28.040 --> 03:27:34.840
or something and i took it worse no no no at my house oh that i emptied out the garage to build

03:27:34.840 --> 03:27:42.200
sets and took all of the like parts and tables and and everything out of the garage and stacked it

03:27:42.200 --> 03:27:48.120
up into the living room oh yes my living room was piled so high with tech crap and cameras and

03:27:48.120 --> 03:27:53.480
tripods and tables that like i couldn't navigate it it was like up to here there was nuts yeah

03:27:53.480 --> 03:27:58.600
i didn't take a picture of it i just i did a pretty good job with the think of you know that we were

03:27:58.600 --> 03:28:03.960
doing of taking some little videos and pictures here and there but how amazing one but how cool

03:28:03.960 --> 03:28:11.320
would it have been if i just had like it's not picture we had to pile everything out of the

03:28:11.320 --> 03:28:16.840
garage into the living room and we can barely stand in here boop and then that was just part of

03:28:16.840 --> 03:28:21.880
the metadata of that photo along with where it was taken when it was taken what camera was taken

03:28:21.880 --> 03:28:27.080
with all the metadata that already exists and i had a really bad experience with ken and zoom

03:28:27.080 --> 03:28:32.760
browser way back in the day because i actually did something like this i used to maintain every

03:28:32.760 --> 03:28:37.640
picture i took on my old power shot a20 i would write a little blurb about who it was and where i

03:28:37.640 --> 03:28:42.840
was and what was happening and what i realized one day when i reformatted my computer and i

03:28:42.840 --> 03:28:48.120
reinstalled zoom browser was that that metadata existed within zoom browser which was ken and's

03:28:48.120 --> 03:28:55.480
proprietary first party photo sorting app it was actually pretty cool except that it wasn't

03:28:55.480 --> 03:29:03.240
injecting that metadata into the files themselves and i lost all of it and ever since zoom browser

03:29:03.240 --> 03:29:11.480
i've wanted a way to reproduce what i did arduously manually with zoom browser

03:29:13.080 --> 03:29:17.400
but just more conveniently with my phone people are saying image this is that thing

03:29:17.400 --> 03:29:22.840
that i brought up on screen yeah it is cool but it doesn't do that like it's what you're describing

03:29:22.840 --> 03:29:27.320
yeah so i'm i don't know why people are saying image a little bit confused about the image

03:29:27.320 --> 03:29:31.960
recommendation i don't i don't know much about this i'm discovering it today but

03:29:32.680 --> 03:29:38.120
clicking through it it doesn't seem like it works like this at all it's more of like a google photos

03:29:38.680 --> 03:29:45.640
yeah but self-hosted it seems awesome but just not what Linus is describing and tag studio seems

03:29:45.640 --> 03:29:52.600
like kind of a cool thing but really what i'm after is not a separate thing i have to install

03:29:53.320 --> 03:30:00.600
and and like like upkeep i want something that as i'm going i just yak yak yak yak picture

03:30:00.600 --> 03:30:04.680
and now it's it's logged like that we're gonna riff off something that full plane chat brought up

03:30:05.800 --> 03:30:07.400
having vibe coded an app

03:30:10.120 --> 03:30:14.120
do you feel like it would be now you're an incredibly busy person

03:30:14.120 --> 03:30:26.200
and if you were say if you had an hour every day to work on this do you feel like you would

03:30:30.040 --> 03:30:33.560
it's tough i feel you had a little bit more free time however you wanted to find that i feel like

03:30:33.560 --> 03:30:40.840
we used to i feel like the our relationship with photographs used to be different

03:30:44.120 --> 03:30:48.680
we used to take fewer of them we were more intentful about them because every photograph

03:30:48.680 --> 03:30:53.800
cost money we used to look at them we used to every time we look at them we'd laugh and

03:30:55.160 --> 03:31:01.880
i find i take i okay so i said i don't take enough pictures i thought you're wonderful um

03:31:03.800 --> 03:31:07.800
but i do i do take more than i used to but i look at them less

03:31:08.600 --> 03:31:15.160
i don't think i look at them less because i actually really like the google photos memories

03:31:15.160 --> 03:31:20.840
feature interesting i like we'll actually click on it and actually skip through them i've turned

03:31:20.840 --> 03:31:26.680
off my notifications for google photos so maybe i just don't get those i like it a lot okay yeah

03:31:28.200 --> 03:31:30.680
like i'll constantly get like old c e s trips

03:31:32.840 --> 03:31:35.320
i think it knows that i really like the notifications of trips

03:31:36.200 --> 03:31:43.080
that makes sense that checks out for you honestly probably usually when i take my most photos i mean that's probably a pretty common one yeah so like i wonder if i even

03:31:43.080 --> 03:31:50.360
have any notifications right now um yeah tim's asking i could i could make what you're describing

03:31:50.360 --> 03:31:54.760
it's like not difficult you're not asking for a difficult thing i mean i think where things

03:31:54.760 --> 03:32:02.600
could get more memory for you click on it it plays some music music and and then you you

03:32:02.600 --> 03:32:06.040
click on it it just goes through different photos yeah my in-laws will send me these every once in

03:32:06.040 --> 03:32:17.720
a while like of my kids in their in their google photo things um sorry bud was uh saying something

03:32:17.720 --> 03:32:26.440
and then i lost it um can't find it oh yeah uh would you need like styles on the iphone or

03:32:26.440 --> 03:32:30.760
whatever the Android equivalent is i mean honestly you know i'm the basicist there is when it comes

03:32:30.760 --> 03:32:38.120
to when it comes to photos um i'm just for me it's more about hey remember that that was cool

03:32:38.120 --> 03:32:43.880
when we were all there and we did that thing and and we enjoyed it and and shared a memory right

03:32:43.880 --> 03:32:48.120
like it's amazing how much we how much we lose i was talking to especially kids like i was talking

03:32:48.120 --> 03:32:53.640
to my kids about something and you know one of them completely didn't remember a place we've

03:32:53.640 --> 03:33:00.040
gone multiple times as a family another one didn't remember living in our old house which is like

03:33:00.040 --> 03:33:03.960
yeah i mean when you were 10 how much did you remember from when you were six or seven

03:33:04.680 --> 03:33:11.320
probably very little that's a third of your life and it like does work like that

03:33:13.080 --> 03:33:16.600
like she remembered that we did it but she didn't like

03:33:18.600 --> 03:33:26.360
okay remember it okay yeah okay very well like her her life is in this new place yeah

03:33:27.240 --> 03:33:33.240
she's wild okay okay fair enough i was gonna be like dude that's crazy no no no no no but my

03:33:33.240 --> 03:33:38.520
kid's not dumb she's got a functioning memory it's just well i don't remember what my memory was

03:33:38.520 --> 03:33:45.640
like when i was 10 yeah so like i don't know um and there are massive voids for me now from back

03:33:45.640 --> 03:33:53.800
then oh hundred percent so like i i'm not sure yeah it's like and it's weird like the little

03:33:53.880 --> 03:34:00.520
things you'll remember like i uh like i remember this one time that i ate like nearly an entire

03:34:00.520 --> 03:34:04.200
box of honey net Cheerios dry from the from the box yeah there's all these you know like like

03:34:04.200 --> 03:34:09.240
there's like you'll have these little weird flashes and like i remember why can i listen to a blank

03:34:09.240 --> 03:34:15.400
song that i genuinely haven't heard yeah off some like weird esoteric blank album in like 20 years

03:34:15.400 --> 03:34:21.880
and just know all the lyrics immediately music's a funny one though music does just work magic on

03:34:21.880 --> 03:34:27.640
our brains yeah in in ways that other things don't i have there was one trip i went on when i was

03:34:27.640 --> 03:34:36.200
very little like like two or something and my ma maire had a waterbed and a yellow

03:34:37.400 --> 03:34:44.760
washing machine and for some reason drilled into my brain is waterbred waterbed and yellow

03:34:44.760 --> 03:34:51.480
washing machine and the waterbed i can like describe the room and like i we had this i had

03:34:51.480 --> 03:34:55.880
a conversation with my dad like not even that long ago and i mentioned those two things and he was like

03:34:56.840 --> 03:35:02.840
what like barely even remembered i was like alive when those things existed right because i

03:35:02.840 --> 03:35:09.800
was like so little and for some reason i just know of those things like i have no idea why i

03:35:09.800 --> 03:35:14.600
remembered that i remember the sound of my dad's waterbed but i don't remember what it looked like

03:35:14.600 --> 03:35:20.280
sure yeah like what yep so random what happened to waterbeds anyway

03:35:21.800 --> 03:35:29.800
i don't know can you buy a waterbed still uh popular in the 70s and 80s offering unique

03:35:29.800 --> 03:35:36.040
pressure relief and blah blah blah waterbed can you like can you can you can you can you buy a

03:35:36.040 --> 03:35:40.840
waterbed hard side probably pretty nice for thermal regulation way fair

03:35:43.000 --> 03:35:46.680
semi-waveless waterbed mattress like am i is this a thing

03:35:49.960 --> 03:35:56.520
no idea i currently sleep on a california king sized waterbed with my wife

03:35:57.160 --> 03:36:03.400
mine paradox okay color i've yeah i think i think this is a waterbed

03:36:03.400 --> 03:36:15.880
wow complete upholstered wood frame waterbed premium strobel hydro support 1600 inch semi-waveless

03:36:15.880 --> 03:36:24.280
waterbed mattress upholstered frame blah blah blah go figure they're heated right i mean they'd

03:36:24.280 --> 03:36:33.240
have to be otherwise you'd be so cold ladder type single can they tell that from a urine sample

03:36:33.400 --> 03:36:48.840
what i wonder if they could tell if you were active or not i mean probably i think maybe i

03:36:48.840 --> 03:36:57.560
yeah i'd think so anyways uh any other topics i don't know maybe oh we should oh yeah oh we do

03:36:57.800 --> 03:37:03.720
more uh oh yes yes data centers in space uh but first this message from our sponsor odoo

03:39:07.800 --> 03:39:14.760
like genuinely nothing overwatch too is now overwatch remember when it was supposed to be a

03:39:14.760 --> 03:39:19.000
different game from the first one including special hero missions new pve story tech trees and more

03:39:20.520 --> 03:39:24.760
well i guess it still is but now it's just overwatch okay

03:39:27.640 --> 03:39:33.480
okay cool remember everyone's just a rename right yeah we'll remember well yeah again

03:39:34.600 --> 03:39:44.360
what about second rename yeah man what a bag fumble a bag fumble okay yes

03:39:44.360 --> 03:39:50.680
just overwatch like it was such it was such a huge thing and then it feels like they just

03:39:51.400 --> 03:39:56.680
oh sorry did the pve die oh okay apparently the pve never came that's hilarious yeah that's

03:39:56.680 --> 03:40:03.640
awesome apparently they never did any of it yeah oh okay cool yeah sorry i i did i'm not a big

03:40:03.640 --> 03:40:08.680
overwatch guy i thought overwatch two had been officially flagged as no more like a long time ago

03:40:09.640 --> 03:40:14.280
i just i remember the joke being back when they launched overwatch two that it was the whole

03:40:14.280 --> 03:40:19.000
thing was stupid because it was obviously a live service game anyway so what was the point of even

03:40:19.000 --> 03:40:24.280
calling it that'd be like calling fortnite fortnite two arbitrarily one day yeah okay okay cool and

03:40:24.280 --> 03:40:30.440
then that ended up being even more true than we thought and made fun of at the time yeah crazy

03:40:30.440 --> 03:40:35.560
oh okay i was actually really excited about the pve i thought it'd be fun that's cool because again

03:40:35.560 --> 03:40:40.120
the t the pve had stories and tech trees and stuff like it sounded like the way it was described

03:40:40.120 --> 03:40:45.560
it sounded actually like really cool oh yeah and then blizzard again was like nothing what does blizzard

03:40:45.560 --> 03:40:51.800
do that's good right now people like diablo still right i i think most people are more into PoE than

03:40:51.800 --> 03:40:59.400
diablo if you're in that style of the game really i think so okay oh oh chat past effects

03:40:59.400 --> 03:41:05.320
no no i don't yeah chat says nothing yeah i think they're just mostly declining literally nothing

03:41:05.880 --> 03:41:12.360
like how well no uh wow diablo immortal no wow is declining i'm pretty sure

03:41:13.240 --> 03:41:20.600
is it i thought it's pretty steady it's like gotta be uh wow subscriber count i don't know if they

03:41:20.600 --> 03:41:29.560
publish it anymore wow quietly revealed a nine million subscriber number oh i mean estimates

03:41:29.560 --> 03:41:36.440
not actually confirmed by blizzard according to zego rim okay on r slash pc gaming all classic

03:41:36.440 --> 03:41:44.520
is getting kind of big how does that make it would it not have peaked a long time ago

03:41:44.920 --> 03:41:51.160
i don't know if that's is it getting bigger is there are there any numbers on that how does

03:41:51.160 --> 03:41:55.080
anyone know anything retell is still good

03:41:59.000 --> 03:42:07.000
hmm okay anything else book or says blizzard's just a zombie as far as i know yeah i know they

03:42:07.000 --> 03:42:11.080
stopped reporting subscribers a long time ago apparently they peaked at 12 million according

03:42:11.160 --> 03:42:19.720
to an ai summary um back when they did report it raf that was uh like 2007 2010 i think was

03:42:19.720 --> 03:42:25.800
when it said they peaked okay sure that might be more accurate i think 2007 was tbc i mean they

03:42:25.800 --> 03:42:32.360
definitely still have millions of monthly paying subscribers so it's not like yeah but you're i don't

03:42:33.080 --> 03:42:36.760
feel like it's a growth sector for them i think anyone's excited about especially if we're looking

03:42:36.840 --> 03:42:42.520
at retail like when's the last time retail was like a really exciting thing for people online

03:42:42.520 --> 03:42:47.160
outside of just the people who already play retail already oh yikes sticklier says that

03:42:47.160 --> 03:42:51.960
12 million number was also a lie because it included pay by the hour pc cafes which counted

03:42:51.960 --> 03:42:59.080
a single hour as a subscriber whoops no he says remember when hearthstone was very popular yeah

03:42:59.080 --> 03:43:05.240
what happened to hearthstone is fantastic uh it's just it's just like most blizzard properties like

03:43:05.240 --> 03:43:11.480
as far as my understanding goes it's fine but they're in that like holding pattern of like

03:43:11.480 --> 03:43:15.560
they're not really necessarily getting a ton of new users so now they're they're catering to

03:43:16.200 --> 03:43:22.120
long-term hardcore experienced players so they're putting more and more heavily mechanically advanced

03:43:22.120 --> 03:43:26.760
cards and systems into the game and a really really deep roster of heroes that you can choose

03:43:26.760 --> 03:43:31.640
and stuff like that which is cool if you've been into it forever and is daunting if you're a new

03:43:31.640 --> 03:43:36.440
player um but they're knowing the people that they're aiming for now like it's not even necessarily

03:43:36.440 --> 03:43:48.280
a bad strategy but it's yeah i think the last new thing blizzard did was overwatch they were

03:43:48.280 --> 03:43:54.520
kind of on a bit of a tear there for a while here's the storm hearthstone overwatch and then they

03:43:54.520 --> 03:44:00.360
kind of just i mean and for all the hate that they're getting for devil immortal it's not like

03:44:00.360 --> 03:44:08.920
a lot of people weren't freaking playing that like really smoked um like how would i get a

03:44:08.920 --> 03:44:15.880
player count for that uh but i'm yeah because it's it's all through blizzard's own launcher right so

03:44:15.880 --> 03:44:23.800
i can't just look at steam stats or anything do you have a little mortal revenue do they do they

03:44:23.880 --> 03:44:27.640
publish this uh people are saying some pretty high numbers

03:44:35.240 --> 03:44:39.000
the devil immortal is a mobile game then that's why you don't know about it

03:44:40.840 --> 03:44:43.800
oh well i mean i don't have a phone so yeah

03:44:45.960 --> 03:44:50.200
this is uh this is actually this is actually a great this is actually a great reddit post

03:44:50.840 --> 03:44:54.040
i played it for about a month during that time i joined a guild and was chatting with a

03:44:54.040 --> 03:44:57.960
few of my new guildmates asked them if they were pumped about diablo 4 coming out and if they were

03:44:57.960 --> 03:45:03.960
going to play it zero out of three had any idea that diablo 4 was coming out in two months or

03:45:03.960 --> 03:45:10.760
had any means of playing it both of those two players were paid to win mobile gamers are so

03:45:10.760 --> 03:45:16.520
different from other types of gamers you and i talking on the diablo 4 subreddit like you got

03:45:16.520 --> 03:45:21.560
to zoom out every once in a while and realize we are talking about completely different people

03:45:21.560 --> 03:45:27.400
doing completely different stuff having absolutely no idea what exists outside of their mobile gaming

03:45:27.400 --> 03:45:40.200
bundle bubble bubble bubble bubble wild hey imagine playing diablo immortal and not knowing

03:45:40.920 --> 03:45:47.640
that diablo 4 is coming it is hard for me to wrap my brain around that

03:45:50.680 --> 03:45:56.920
but what i can wrap my brain around is that i'm a little frustrated about what went on with the 9850

03:45:56.920 --> 03:46:05.080
x3d so we had our video on it where we concluded that it ran faster and didn't consume a ton more

03:46:05.160 --> 03:46:11.720
power than the 9800 x3d which led us to conclude that it AMD wasn't really like juicing this thing

03:46:11.720 --> 03:46:15.880
super hard in order to squeeze more performance out of it it looks like we might have just gotten a

03:46:15.880 --> 03:46:24.360
really good chip and in the age of clock speeds up to as opposed to here's how fast it runs and

03:46:24.360 --> 03:46:29.960
here's the voltage and here's the power consumption this is something that is only going to become

03:46:30.040 --> 03:46:36.760
more of a problem rather than less of a problem it used to be that people would there were conspiracy

03:46:36.760 --> 03:46:42.600
theories that Intel and AMD and NVIDIA they would they would provide golden chips to reviewers and

03:46:42.600 --> 03:46:48.440
then the real product wouldn't perform as well and that was always kind of dismissed as as conspiracy

03:46:48.440 --> 03:46:53.720
theory nonsense because it was but now whether it's intentional or not that is something that can

03:46:53.720 --> 03:47:02.440
absolutely happen so user sugio lover published 17 results of their bind risen 7 9850 x3d 13

03:47:03.560 --> 03:47:09.800
yeah 13 excuse me uh confirming that this chip is virtually an overclocked 9800 x3d just using

03:47:09.800 --> 03:47:14.840
higher voltages to achieve the chip's 400 megahertz higher boost clock when cross-reference to hardware

03:47:14.840 --> 03:47:21.160
lux's results on the 9800 x3d it shows the large difference in core voltage between the two out

03:47:21.160 --> 03:47:28.120
of the 9800 x3d's published the slowest chip hit a single core boost clock of 5.6 11 gigahertz

03:47:28.120 --> 03:47:36.200
while the most using the most voltage of 1.348 volts going back to the 9850 x3d almost all the

03:47:36.200 --> 03:47:42.280
chips hit a similar clock speed while hovering around 1.31 so are they a little better it seems like

03:47:43.080 --> 03:47:53.000
yes but not by as much as we might like to call it a new product when we compare the best 9850 x3d's

03:47:53.000 --> 03:48:01.480
to the 9800 x3d the 9800 x3d uses about 13 more voltage which to be clear for these kinds of

03:48:01.480 --> 03:48:09.160
microprocessors 13 more voltages that's a lot more voltage yeah but it is worth noting that

03:48:09.960 --> 03:48:15.160
tom's hardware found that their 9850 x3d consumed about 30 percent more power for only a 3 percent

03:48:15.160 --> 03:48:21.160
average performance improvement over their 9800 x3d so basically what we're seeing is there's

03:48:21.800 --> 03:48:29.080
a lot of overlap between the worst 9850 x3d's and the best 9800 x3d's once you start to play around

03:48:29.080 --> 03:48:35.400
with power profiles and voltages and i'm a little frustrated that we've reached the point where in

03:48:35.400 --> 03:48:40.520
order to review a CPU it almost feels like you have to have five of them sourced from five different

03:48:40.520 --> 03:48:46.280
places as opposed to just testing one and being able to report the performance that you get

03:48:49.720 --> 03:48:53.960
that's all thank you for coming to my ted talk i'm just a little i'm just a little irritated

03:48:53.960 --> 03:48:58.760
right now because it's one of those things where as you guys might imagine i have a little bit of

03:48:58.760 --> 03:49:06.520
sensitivity around us you know publishing data in our videos do you think you'd have to

03:49:06.520 --> 03:49:12.040
potentially go multi-country i don't i don't actually think you'd have to do that but i do

03:49:12.040 --> 03:49:18.440
think there could be some value i was going to say to different batches but even then i don't i

03:49:18.440 --> 03:49:22.840
don't even think that's likely to matter is because that's why i said different batches you i feel

03:49:22.840 --> 03:49:28.040
like your chance of different batch would go up maybe if you in multi-country i just don't i i think

03:49:28.040 --> 03:49:35.640
batches used to probably be more of a thing than they are today i remember chatting with the the

03:49:35.640 --> 03:49:46.920
folks that Intel when i did the fab tour there and i i'm not going to disclose any numbers or

03:49:46.920 --> 03:49:57.880
anything but there is a possibility of having a perfect wafer it turns out and what they told me

03:49:58.280 --> 03:50:06.840
about that led me to believe that batch to batch probably doesn't really matter that much because

03:50:06.840 --> 03:50:13.400
there's so many variables even within the multiple dies on a single wafer that at the end of the

03:50:13.400 --> 03:50:18.600
day it's all probably gonna pretty much come out in the wash if you have more than a small handful

03:50:18.600 --> 03:50:26.040
of chips yeah what are the topics that we got left uh oh one of the topics that i wanted to discuss

03:50:26.040 --> 03:50:37.720
is there's been um a fair bit of conversation on social media about oh LMG's willingness to invest

03:50:37.720 --> 03:50:46.440
in in pay for for its employees and i just wanted to kind of put this to rest again i feel like we

03:50:46.440 --> 03:50:54.440
we did the how does LMG spend money video recently and i uh i i laid out you know how much more

03:50:54.440 --> 03:51:07.320
LMG has spent on employee salaries going from 2024 to 2025 um and it seems like that didn't

03:51:07.320 --> 03:51:13.240
really i don't know that didn't really sink in or it didn't really um it didn't really

03:51:16.200 --> 03:51:21.000
reach far enough i'm not i'm not sure but basically i've always believed sunlight is the best

03:51:21.080 --> 03:51:26.760
disinfectant so i actually asked accounting to put together some additional numbers okay

03:51:26.760 --> 03:51:36.360
and here it is revenue and wage growth since 2018 so we i've talked about this both i think on

03:51:36.360 --> 03:51:44.360
wanshow as well as in how does LMG spend money um revenue had struggled to grow for a couple of

03:51:44.360 --> 03:51:52.920
years after 2022 in spite of that a combination of hiring more people but not really that many

03:51:52.920 --> 03:51:59.080
our headcount today is actually pretty similar to what it was in 2022 2023 so it's a combination

03:51:59.080 --> 03:52:04.600
of increased compensation for the people that are here as well as hiring additional people

03:52:04.600 --> 03:52:11.560
has seen our investment in people continue to increase even when our revenue has been quite

03:52:11.560 --> 03:52:16.200
flat so sorry this is a bit of a this is a little bit confusing because this says growth and this

03:52:16.200 --> 03:52:21.400
says growth uh but that's not actually it these are these are absolute values uh relative to

03:52:21.400 --> 03:52:26.280
each other so that doesn't mean they're both using the same y-axis it just means that we are looking

03:52:26.280 --> 03:52:30.680
at how these things track compared to oh wait wait wait no no i do remember sorry sorry sorry

03:52:30.680 --> 03:52:37.880
josh explain this to me uh growth is relative to 2018 so this is how much more than 2018 it is

03:52:38.680 --> 03:52:43.400
and then there's a different view that is a little bit easier for me to wrap my brain around

03:52:43.400 --> 03:52:49.320
and that's how much percentage change so this is zero over the previous year so

03:52:50.200 --> 03:52:56.680
wage growth outpaced revenue growth in 2019 revenue growth outpaced wage growth in 2020

03:52:56.680 --> 03:53:02.920
they were both about the same in 2021 revenue growth outpaced wage growth a little bit in 2022

03:53:02.920 --> 03:53:11.080
and then into 23 and 24 wage growth outpaced revenue growth dramatically and then there uh

03:53:11.080 --> 03:53:16.520
they had those are reversed with revenue growth outpacing wage growth in 2025 but not by not by

03:53:16.520 --> 03:53:22.440
very much it's pretty close like about like what we saw in 2019 then there's profit so i've talked

03:53:22.440 --> 03:53:31.320
about this before as well this is all relative to 2018 so in 2022 because you're seeing that

03:53:31.320 --> 03:53:39.320
increased investment in people um happen when revenue is flat that obviously has an impact

03:53:39.320 --> 03:53:50.520
on profitability right neat right and then this is the year on year look so year on year

03:53:50.520 --> 03:53:57.720
we had a pretty big dip in profit in 2023 and things are a little bit more on pace with each

03:53:57.720 --> 03:54:05.880
other in 2024 and 2025 but as you can see even though revenues recovered a little bit in 2025

03:54:06.520 --> 03:54:13.080
profitability is still has its own struggles just because there are other overhead concerns aside

03:54:13.080 --> 03:54:23.240
from just salaries so just wanted to make it very very clear that LMG continues has and continues

03:54:23.240 --> 03:54:30.840
to invest in people and uh that applies both to key members that we want to keep here on the team

03:54:30.840 --> 03:54:33.640
as well as to new hires

03:54:41.160 --> 03:54:47.800
in other news five Ryzen nine thousands were killed in a single day by as rock motherboards

03:54:47.800 --> 03:54:53.720
allegedly as rock has issued a statement saying it's investigating reports of AMD Ryzen

03:54:53.720 --> 03:55:01.320
nine thousands uh failing on its am five motherboards the company says that it is conducting

03:55:01.320 --> 03:55:07.640
internal reviews working with AMD and rolling out BIOS optimizations to improve stability this comes

03:55:07.640 --> 03:55:12.200
after five different reddit posts claiming multiple Ryzen 9000 chips across different models stopped

03:55:12.200 --> 03:55:17.240
working with some cases showing systems unable to boot even after BIOS updates in most of these

03:55:17.240 --> 03:55:21.800
reports the chips are getting hot enough to leave scorch marks on the CPU and socket and tom's

03:55:21.800 --> 03:55:28.920
hardware found around 350 reports of the same issue albeit not albeit those ones are not verified

03:55:28.920 --> 03:55:32.840
so our discussion question here is when hardware failures start trending online how much should

03:55:32.840 --> 03:55:38.280
consumers rely on these anecdotal reports versus official failure rate numbers

03:55:39.160 --> 03:55:40.680
uh

03:55:45.320 --> 03:55:50.520
yikes that's tough uh anecdotes are important i don't think anecdotes should just be ignored

03:55:53.800 --> 03:56:02.680
official failure rate data though might take a really long time and i think you should be

03:56:02.920 --> 03:56:10.760
aware of the anecdotes just in case there isn't official failure rate data

03:56:10.760 --> 03:56:17.560
also um where did the official failure rate data come from yeah i wish i could

03:56:19.000 --> 03:56:28.440
who would i trust today if they gave me like internal failure rates who would you trust

03:56:29.400 --> 03:56:36.360
internal failure rates i'd trust Noctua okay if Noctua published a failure rate which i don't

03:56:36.360 --> 03:56:40.840
think they ever would but if they did i think i'd believe them is there anyone else you can think

03:56:40.840 --> 03:56:53.400
of that you would believe i don't mean to offend i think effectively no one um i think it's like

03:56:54.360 --> 03:57:02.120
and and this this isn't because i'm like companies are evil um it's like

03:57:03.640 --> 03:57:10.920
there's always the potential of a perverse incentive at every company everywhere um there's

03:57:10.920 --> 03:57:17.960
always the potential there are companies where i think it might happen less uh i am very ignorant

03:57:17.960 --> 03:57:23.640
to the reality of a lot of those companies like like yeah my gut check says that Noctua is probably

03:57:23.640 --> 03:57:29.480
going to be legit about it but do i have any idea how Noctua functions as a company not in the slightest

03:57:30.760 --> 03:57:35.320
i think i probably have a little more insight than you like talk to them i've literally never

03:57:35.320 --> 03:57:41.880
talked but not much because i'm still i'm not just taking them at their word like they they've said

03:57:41.880 --> 03:57:46.520
over and over again like we cared about this and we made it quiet and reliable and we care about

03:57:46.600 --> 03:57:50.200
measurements and engineering and testing and then and then that has borne out

03:57:50.920 --> 03:57:55.240
so many times that i that i've built there's a track record going on yeah there's there's a

03:57:55.240 --> 03:57:59.880
track record but you're not you're not in uh meetings with them see how they deal with management

03:57:59.880 --> 03:58:04.120
no i'm not so who knows there there might be a perverse incentive somewhere which could

03:58:04.680 --> 03:58:09.880
push someone to skew things a little bit like you never you never know i haven't met every

03:58:09.880 --> 03:58:15.880
single person who works at Noctua that's for sure no so there are there are companies that i would

03:58:15.960 --> 03:58:22.520
see that data from and believe more there are companies that i'd see that data from and believe

03:58:22.520 --> 03:58:26.920
less fax on says i would want third party i'd trust pujit systems

03:58:31.080 --> 03:58:37.960
pujit they're pretty freaking legit they're pretty based they're pretty freaking based i've met john

03:58:38.760 --> 03:58:44.120
he's pretty based that's one that i would i would index quite high in the

03:58:45.080 --> 03:58:49.000
but but for basically all the and when i say third party this is this is a problem with all

03:58:49.000 --> 03:58:54.520
of these situations a third party can't be hired by them we have seen this we've literally seen

03:58:54.520 --> 03:58:59.240
this happen which one when that data gets skewed there was an Intel one a bunch of years back

03:58:59.240 --> 03:59:03.800
we talked about on my show i'm talking about principled technologies are you maybe that was it

03:59:03.800 --> 03:59:09.640
where the like benchmark data was was off i think that is what i'm talking about um it's not

03:59:09.640 --> 03:59:16.440
failure rate data but like i'm just talking about almost any data sure sure sure sure and i think

03:59:16.440 --> 03:59:21.000
that i think that my bar would be lower for our private conversation versus something that they

03:59:21.000 --> 03:59:28.200
published like if like if us if an si for instance told me like yeah we've seen a 50% failure rate on

03:59:28.200 --> 03:59:33.400
these bloody things in the field that's very talk and shop higher numbers also make me believe it

03:59:33.400 --> 03:59:37.880
way more and and and i would and i would like somebody said 50% failure rate i would just

03:59:37.880 --> 03:59:43.720
believe it especially if if we're talking as and the context of the conversation matters as well

03:59:43.720 --> 03:59:48.040
like we're talking as business owners yes and if i was talking about like oh yeah you know we had

03:59:48.040 --> 03:59:52.920
this issue with our backpack where the stupid bloody supplier didn't and they're like oh my god i'm

03:59:52.920 --> 03:59:57.240
going through this right now it's horrible yeah we're getting we're getting over half of our you

03:59:57.240 --> 04:00:02.040
know whatever card x is failing in the field and it's costing me a fortune and warranty returns

04:00:02.040 --> 04:00:06.600
like where you're swapping war stories yeah a little bit like that the context sound to believe

04:00:06.600 --> 04:00:13.160
that a little bit more matters uh slithery says falcon falcon is another si actually two si is on

04:00:13.160 --> 04:00:18.840
my list that i think i think if kel told me something i'd be like yeah because he just man that guy

04:00:18.840 --> 04:00:24.360
cares so much i don't think i've met almost anyone else in the industry who's been in it as long as

04:00:24.360 --> 04:00:30.280
him and just like been through the ringer as much as him and uh because you got to remember falcon's

04:00:30.280 --> 04:00:36.760
not a volume company yeah like they've never looked kind of like pujit they've they've stayed in their

04:00:36.760 --> 04:00:45.000
lane and excelled in their niche but not like scaled right like like he's not hanging out on

04:00:45.000 --> 04:00:51.960
his yacht you know every other every other weekend like he's he's he's he's he works you know and uh

04:00:52.600 --> 04:00:59.640
and so he's just been kind of working as an si so this is back when i was at ncix you just you

04:00:59.640 --> 04:01:05.640
get kind of screwed on everything you get screwed on pricing you get screwed on allocation you get

04:01:05.640 --> 04:01:11.080
screwed on support like you go and you list this stuff and you say yeah it's compatible but like oh

04:01:11.080 --> 04:01:17.320
my god i didn't even get any of these until yesterday and i or you know a few weeks ago to do a bit of

04:01:17.320 --> 04:01:22.520
like validation and testing but like i don't have the engineering resources that an AMD or an Intel

04:01:22.520 --> 04:01:28.200
or an NVIDIA has so i'm like i'm doing my best with like open source tools or community built tools

04:01:28.440 --> 04:01:34.200
um like it's it's just it's a really tough business and yeah kelts still kelts still super

04:01:34.840 --> 04:01:40.360
super passionate which is impressive cool guy the thing about an si though is they're not

04:01:40.360 --> 04:01:46.920
really throwing their own product under the bus they could be they have their own cases don't they

04:01:47.560 --> 04:01:51.240
yeah um one of their stuff's overheating

04:01:52.200 --> 04:02:00.760
yeah yeah i think even then though there's it's like a shared blame whereas i think i would have a

04:02:00.760 --> 04:02:10.600
harder time believing someone's data on their own product like if i told you guys a failure rate for

04:02:10.600 --> 04:02:18.280
LTT screwdriver i think that would be harder for you to believe versus if i told you guys a failure

04:02:18.280 --> 04:02:25.480
rate for our mold maker making the handles or something like that it's hard to admit your

04:02:25.480 --> 04:02:32.600
own fault and i think that we intuitively know that and we trust people less when they're when

04:02:32.600 --> 04:02:36.600
they are so you you came back to what's the motivation behind the conversation if you say

04:02:36.600 --> 04:02:43.320
the failure rate of the mold maker that to me comes across as like woe is me our expenses are high

04:02:43.320 --> 04:02:49.400
and i'm trying to spin our quality control yeah rejecting those failures if it's further down the

04:02:49.400 --> 04:02:56.120
line then it you you risk the incompetence angle that's right or i'm throwing a member of my team

04:02:56.120 --> 04:03:01.960
under the bus which obviously i would have more sensitivity about versus throwing some random

04:03:01.960 --> 04:03:06.040
under the bus right yeah you don't have to deal with those like if i had to throw it for some

04:03:06.040 --> 04:03:12.040
reason i had to throw kyle under the bus for something i would i would want to sugarcoat it

04:03:12.040 --> 04:03:17.720
yeah i would want to at least a little that is a form of perverse incentive this this the whole

04:03:17.720 --> 04:03:24.520
thing's a mess um basically i wouldn't i wouldn't blindly trust any of these numbers but um do with

04:03:24.520 --> 04:03:31.400
any of them what you will i'm just trying i want to check out chat um oh hi josh says what about

04:03:31.400 --> 04:03:38.200
seasonic seasonic i don't know i like i i can see their behavior as building quality products and

04:03:38.200 --> 04:03:44.600
standing behind them but i don't like know that many people there like our rep is amazing he's

04:03:44.600 --> 04:03:50.600
like the coolest guy ever and if he was the ceo of the company i'd be like yeah because he is based

04:03:51.720 --> 04:03:56.520
but i i don't know the like senior leadership there the way that i do knock to our falcon

04:03:56.520 --> 04:04:04.040
appugia where i've like actually met them and had conversations with them um you know what

04:04:04.040 --> 04:04:12.920
else is here yeah not much man bits of bits says what about LTT Store i hear those guys are a thing

04:04:12.920 --> 04:04:19.400
this might uh be spooky but no really yeah okay for the exact same reason i already gave

04:04:22.200 --> 04:04:28.600
the perverse incentives you mean yeah yeah they are impossible to 100 get rid of in my opinion

04:04:28.600 --> 04:04:35.560
tell me something tell me something because what i'll say is i wouldn't publish that i wouldn't

04:04:35.560 --> 04:04:41.080
publish it if it was good and i wouldn't publish it if it was bad so for that is this part of why

04:04:41.080 --> 04:04:49.560
so for that reason if i was to publish it do you think i would question my motivation

04:04:50.200 --> 04:04:55.960
i would question your motivation i think there are motivations that could exist that would make me

04:04:55.960 --> 04:05:03.000
fairly strongly believe it sure like there'd have to be a reason like why am i why am i talking about

04:05:03.000 --> 04:05:08.760
you know our our expenses well there's a reason there's because somebody has raised this as as a

04:05:08.760 --> 04:05:17.640
thing um like if you're not gonna win that war with the cables no with the because uh um

04:05:18.600 --> 04:05:27.560
because you're trying to you're trying to win a questioning war with transparency but legally

04:05:27.560 --> 04:05:34.840
cannot be i don't think you can no i can't be fully transparent yeah but what i can say is

04:05:34.840 --> 04:05:41.400
objectively we are making the investments that people seem to think that we're not but then

04:05:42.360 --> 04:05:48.040
but this is the problem because the the questions are infinite and then and your problem is if there

04:05:48.040 --> 04:05:55.000
is a question at all on the internet you'll find it oh yeah and then that bothers um i mean i think

04:05:55.000 --> 04:06:01.480
i've said about as much as there is to say at this point okay for this one um you know the the simple

04:06:01.480 --> 04:06:08.920
fact is that whether it's through hiring more support or whether it's through scaling salaries

04:06:09.000 --> 04:06:15.720
we have in spite of in spite of stagnant revenue over the last few years and declining profits

04:06:15.720 --> 04:06:23.080
we have continued to invest in both and you would never in a thousand years

04:06:23.640 --> 04:06:31.800
pry the exact reasons out of me for any single employees you know pay scaling in fact in most

04:06:31.800 --> 04:06:37.000
cases this may surprise you he doesn't know i don't do everything and i don't even know

04:06:37.800 --> 04:06:43.960
right and so you would never you you'd never get that out of me because just to to force you

04:06:43.960 --> 04:06:49.720
shouldn't yeah no i agree to force it back to the topic at hand yeah this is part of the reason

04:06:49.720 --> 04:06:56.360
for my comment about the cw stuff it has genuinely nothing negative to do with cw yeah the reason

04:06:56.360 --> 04:07:03.560
for that comment for me is that it scales into everything and that included my own and that's

04:07:03.560 --> 04:07:08.120
how i view cw is not mine but that's how i that's how i viewed it in that context was like i would

04:07:08.120 --> 04:07:15.080
still question it because like the second you start getting into distributed work which is like any

04:07:15.080 --> 04:07:23.960
company ever that has employees um there's weird stuff going on there's weird stuff going on everywhere

04:07:23.960 --> 04:07:29.560
and like what if what if someone's goals very nobly it's like hey let's get failure rate down

04:07:30.440 --> 04:07:36.040
let's make the products more reliable yeah and one of the ways that they can get their bonus or

04:07:36.040 --> 04:07:43.080
whatever is by being like numbers one percent higher nice got it yeah the stuff might happen

04:07:43.080 --> 04:07:48.760
and i'd have no way of knowing that no like i could stand here and i could i could pass

04:07:48.760 --> 04:07:52.760
information along to you guys that i might not even know as bad and i love the cw people they're

04:07:52.760 --> 04:08:01.800
great yeah but just like any company like people come in people people leave yeah things change

04:08:01.800 --> 04:08:08.440
yeah so like i don't know i don't know man like i'm sitting here going like and and and and it's

04:08:08.440 --> 04:08:13.400
hard to divorce ourselves i am asking zero people to blindly trust the information from Labs

04:08:14.760 --> 04:08:19.080
yeah and i never have well we all we've always said you should get multiple sources exactly and

04:08:19.080 --> 04:08:25.160
that's the inherent problem here is there is no multiple source exactly that i'm falling back

04:08:25.160 --> 04:08:30.520
to the same argument we have always fallen back to but it's hard to it's hard to divorce myself

04:08:30.520 --> 04:08:39.720
from personal trust if kyle told me i would believe him but that's a different thing that's well

04:08:40.520 --> 04:08:46.440
because maybe he maybe maybe there's there's a there's a required efficiency in order to live

04:08:46.440 --> 04:08:51.080
in a certain amount of trust in in people around you and i think in your situation i just thought

04:08:51.080 --> 04:08:55.800
i think he's earned it like he doesn't hide things from me i don't find out about things later

04:08:55.800 --> 04:08:59.960
particularly with kyle but i'm talking about from the perspective of an audience member

04:08:59.960 --> 04:09:05.960
and i can't tell that audience member to do that no yeah no you're right if i if i'm trying to

04:09:05.960 --> 04:09:12.040
give this audience member uh i think the the modern people say chat if i'm trying to give chat

04:09:12.520 --> 04:09:20.840
um good advice on how to like you know approach things and conduct themselves and whatnot yeah

04:09:21.640 --> 04:09:26.440
blindly believe us because we're cool company is like not the law we will we'd never say that but

04:09:26.440 --> 04:09:32.120
that's my point so it's it has no it's no slight against cw again i'm pointing at Labs don't blindly

04:09:32.120 --> 04:09:37.080
believe stuff from Labs either get multiple sources and this is because i'm i'm trying to

04:09:37.720 --> 04:09:43.160
be consistent yeah multiple sources and also i mean logicking your way through things is also

04:09:43.160 --> 04:09:47.560
good too understanding like i've i've always i've always told people when when i talk about

04:09:47.560 --> 04:09:55.240
negotiations is like understand both sides of the table or you have absolutely no shot whatsoever

04:09:55.240 --> 04:10:01.480
of reaching any kind of meaningful agreement right and it's the it's it's like it's the same

04:10:01.480 --> 04:10:06.440
when you're just when you're trying to understand why people are doing the things that they're

04:10:06.440 --> 04:10:10.760
doing i think it's very easy to assume that someone is doing something because they're

04:10:10.760 --> 04:10:16.600
a malicious monster because they're a big dummy or whatever but most of the time that's not the

04:10:16.600 --> 04:10:27.240
case so if we so if we sit and we go okay you know what would be his motivation for representing

04:10:27.240 --> 04:10:36.680
this failure rate or this or or this data uh in in this particular way i think it can help us

04:10:36.680 --> 04:10:42.840
and and maybe that's where the context of the conversation comes in because if someone is trying

04:10:42.840 --> 04:10:47.480
to go all around this yeah if they're trying to impress you with how much loss they've absorbed

04:10:47.480 --> 04:10:51.960
this quarter if it's a game of one upmanship then if anything you might think they might exaggerate

04:10:52.600 --> 04:10:58.920
whereas if they're trying to sell you a big contract to use their systems the last thing

04:10:58.920 --> 04:11:03.160
that they're going to want to bring up is that 50% of the ssds they're using have failed in the last

04:11:03.160 --> 04:11:07.640
quarter if someone's trying to sell their company they want it to look like an extremely well-oiled

04:11:07.640 --> 04:11:12.040
machine with low failure rates if someone's trying to get sympathy from their customers

04:11:12.840 --> 04:11:16.520
they might try to point that their failure rates are really high because their quality control is

04:11:16.520 --> 04:11:25.160
really high there are reasons all over the place all over the place constantly um that

04:11:27.240 --> 04:11:32.920
yeah especially the no i don't know if that's true i was going to say especially bigger companies

04:11:33.480 --> 04:11:41.880
because there are like smaller factions with their own goals that um the people you might know

04:11:42.360 --> 04:11:48.280
might not even know those people exist that are that are causing things to kind of happen

04:11:48.280 --> 04:11:52.520
within these spaces and it gets it gets a little bit crazy so yeah i don't know you could use it

04:11:52.520 --> 04:11:57.160
as information yeah there you go you could use it as information i would prefer if it came from

04:11:57.160 --> 04:12:03.720
more than one source so like if a company claimed that they had some something going on um oh our

04:12:04.360 --> 04:12:10.920
our devices fail only three percent of the time after four years or two years or something

04:12:12.520 --> 04:12:17.320
neat that sounds cool i'm not going to put a ton of stock into that and then if a third party source

04:12:17.320 --> 04:12:23.720
if a creator youtube creator whatever comes out there or a retailer if project farm

04:12:23.720 --> 04:12:29.880
rips their thing apart for whatever reason sure i'm going to put more weight on that

04:12:29.880 --> 04:12:35.880
right okay so but that doesn't necessarily means a non tech creator the exact numbers right right

04:12:35.880 --> 04:12:41.480
right like like if if AMD were to say our CPU failure rates are less than one percent and then

04:12:41.480 --> 04:12:45.480
like a retailer were to come out and say yeah we get less than two percent returns and most of

04:12:45.480 --> 04:12:50.840
them still work that would it would reinforce it at least even if it doesn't mean that i believe

04:12:50.840 --> 04:12:55.240
a hundred percent but i was actually i was i was gonna i was gonna bring this up you said

04:12:55.240 --> 04:12:59.160
you know something about putting more stock in it and that reminded me like some of these companies

04:12:59.160 --> 04:13:09.240
are public companies on the subject of stock and there's in theory legal ramifications for lying

04:13:09.240 --> 04:13:16.600
to investors for instance would you would you believe it anymore if in addressing this Ryzen

04:13:16.600 --> 04:13:23.240
CPU's are dying thing that AMD on a quarterly call said we've investigated it and we found that

04:13:23.240 --> 04:13:27.560
it's actually a failure rate of less than you know point one percent and and we are still

04:13:27.560 --> 04:13:32.920
going to investigate it but it's it's a relatively isolated issue would you believe it even a little

04:13:32.920 --> 04:13:39.400
bit more knowing the sort of the potential legal ramifications around it if you know if a whistle

04:13:39.400 --> 04:13:43.960
war were to come out and say that that's not actually what happened i don't think so is that

04:13:43.960 --> 04:13:50.120
just because of the current zero consequences environment thousand percent yeah yeah nothing

04:13:50.200 --> 04:13:55.880
happens when companies do that so i i wouldn't believe it if if if things did then then yeah

04:13:56.680 --> 04:14:01.960
also i've heard this is true i'm not even trying to get political and i've heard this is just like

04:14:02.600 --> 04:14:10.120
in the in the business world like something you should do but i'm not into it not not night night

04:14:10.120 --> 04:14:16.360
tow hand night oh hand so trump did this with his properties forbes calls it's worth so much put me

04:14:16.360 --> 04:14:20.520
on your super wealthy list whatever irs calls that the building's falling apart it's so worthless

04:14:20.520 --> 04:14:24.040
you should probably charge me less taxes because the property value is lower and like this is

04:14:24.920 --> 04:14:32.200
use trump in that example brother that's people be doing that that's one of the few things that

04:14:32.200 --> 04:14:37.400
i've believed that that man has said over the last decade or so yeah and tons of other people

04:14:37.400 --> 04:14:43.000
that everybody know that everybody does that oh yeah yeah yeah totally like he said everyone

04:14:43.000 --> 04:14:46.920
does it and i was like yep probably yeah like actually um

04:14:54.040 --> 04:15:03.720
we have one more topic space x is acquiring ai startup x ai yeah ahead of a potential ipo

04:15:03.720 --> 04:15:13.400
yeah this yeah so that we can build um data centers in space well okay do you know i know

04:15:13.400 --> 04:15:19.000
it's less stupid than it sounds oh that wasn't where i was going oh okay uh do you know the money

04:15:19.000 --> 04:15:27.480
circle with open ai and oracle and uh NVIDIA and uh whoever else this is like that but like incest

04:15:27.560 --> 04:15:33.560
it's just his own money circle yes i know yeah um but also orbital data centers cool nice

04:15:34.520 --> 04:15:37.880
solar power sick just to hope that you don't have to swap a ramstick

04:15:41.080 --> 04:15:49.080
dude astronaut it people a j in space a j in space i think a j would go to space if we

04:15:49.080 --> 04:15:55.080
really needed him to he probably would i think he probably would based yeah oh no key reminded me

04:15:55.080 --> 04:16:00.440
that uh project farm actually uh did another roundup video that featured one of our products

04:16:01.080 --> 04:16:06.520
this time our precision screwdriver set which is now our precision pro by the way

04:16:07.320 --> 04:16:13.320
yeah included a whole bunch of other ones once again we scored extremely well i mean you should

04:16:13.320 --> 04:16:22.120
obviously watch the whole video but yeah i don't yeah the tl dr is we're up here a lot of the things

04:16:22.200 --> 04:16:28.920
that matter to me a lot we actually scored really well in coming first for subjective

04:16:28.920 --> 04:16:33.400
rating of the swivel end cap first for how comfortable and natural the screwdriver feels

04:16:33.400 --> 04:16:38.920
in the hand first for overall storage case rating for bit retention organization and durability

04:16:38.920 --> 04:16:45.560
and first for bit retention strength so holding on to the bit so that they don't come popping out if

04:16:46.440 --> 04:16:49.960
if you pull the screwdriver back and they're kind of like stuck in a screw a little bit

04:16:50.600 --> 04:16:57.400
one of the areas where we fell short was in the durability of the bits under high pressure

04:16:58.440 --> 04:17:04.440
that was an active decision it's one that not everyone will agree with but i had issues breaking

04:17:04.440 --> 04:17:09.080
bits from other screwdriver sets before and when i talked to the team about it they basically went

04:17:09.080 --> 04:17:16.520
well okay better steel is not necessarily a thing it's do you want a harder steel yeah that's what

04:17:16.520 --> 04:17:22.120
properties you're looking for or do you want like a i forget what the advantages of the slightly

04:17:22.120 --> 04:17:27.160
soft it's all right it's whether they'll bend or whether they will snap will they stay the same

04:17:27.160 --> 04:17:33.880
shape until they snap or will they bend a little bit before they break and be less likely to snap

04:17:33.880 --> 04:17:41.080
and with a precision set we ultimately made the decision to go with one that would not snap under

04:17:41.080 --> 04:17:47.400
duress and that's not a decision that absolutely everyone will agree with yeah but it is one that

04:17:47.400 --> 04:17:56.920
we made nice so yeah it's always very cool to see todd's extremely creative testing methodologies he

04:17:56.920 --> 04:18:06.280
really does have kind of a way of bringing things into the real world whether i necessarily agree

04:18:06.280 --> 04:18:12.440
with absolutely everything he does i would say i would say no i thought the the laptop

04:18:12.440 --> 04:18:17.800
drop test onto the like the bar was a little questionable i think we performed really well

04:18:17.800 --> 04:18:22.680
in it with the the backpack video that he did a little while ago i like that his testing is like

04:18:22.680 --> 04:18:29.720
that though but what i was gonna say yeah is that much like we always say to get multiple perspectives

04:18:30.040 --> 04:18:37.880
i think todd's perspective is extremely valuable completely yeah yeah um and that has just inherently

04:18:37.880 --> 04:18:42.920
in the way that he does his tests yeah there's some that are gonna be imperfect and i think that's

04:18:42.920 --> 04:18:49.320
awesome um and i don't think i i don't desire a change there at all personally

04:18:51.400 --> 04:18:57.240
and i do know that uh p kinetics says if your bits are either stripping or snapping isn't that

04:18:57.240 --> 04:19:03.800
a sign that something ain't right yes which is exactly why i didn't want to go the snapping

04:19:03.800 --> 04:19:07.800
route because you should never be putting that much force on a precision screwdriver bit

04:19:09.160 --> 04:19:17.160
yep yes yes yes the the one time i managed to uh destroy a bunch of precision bits and i

04:19:17.160 --> 04:19:22.840
admit i went through more than i would like to admit was on some apple device that had some hidden

04:19:23.640 --> 04:19:29.000
something that made it so that even though it seemed like it should go it didn't until you

04:19:29.000 --> 04:19:33.720
like unlock something or something i forget the exact details but that was the experience that

04:19:33.720 --> 04:19:39.320
i had that made me ultimately choose not to go for the the snapping kind because it like a piece

04:19:39.320 --> 04:19:44.280
went like flying off of it and i was like oh that's probably not that great bits of bits in

04:19:44.280 --> 04:19:48.440
Floatplane chat said i just make my bits into bits so they become bits of bits

04:19:49.160 --> 04:19:57.720
that's a bit crazy i'm sorry i can't get behind that after dark yeah it's after dark

04:19:57.720 --> 04:19:58.760
let's go boys let's go

04:20:04.520 --> 04:20:11.800
is like let's go like unc slang now i think it is probably yeah nice chat is i mean i'm 35 so

04:20:11.800 --> 04:20:18.360
it's probably fine solid i yeah it's just i've seen that stuff and i'm just like man i don't care

04:20:18.920 --> 04:20:26.600
yeah yeah i am nice yeah sweet sounds good yeah exactly sweet i have no desire to change that

04:20:27.560 --> 04:20:35.080
i'm probably gonna stay sweet forever cool yeah that's what it is i would do this

04:20:35.320 --> 04:20:42.760
oh sorry do you want some more no i'm i don't know why i voiced my internal observation i'm on my

04:20:42.760 --> 04:20:50.520
fourth i think well thirsty today i might have a disorder i probably do uh what's up boys

04:20:51.400 --> 04:20:55.960
do all of you have eight sleep would you recommend it and how do you guys like it

04:20:57.160 --> 04:21:04.680
i have one it's kind of a lifesaver from everything that i've seen externally they seem to be like

04:21:05.320 --> 04:21:09.400
kind of a horrible company they seem to be a horrible company they seem to have horrible

04:21:09.400 --> 04:21:16.200
practices and one of mine died once they did send me a new one but i couldn't tell you for sure

04:21:16.200 --> 04:21:23.960
whether that was just because i'm an influencer i sleep a lot more comfortably on it i sleep a

04:21:23.960 --> 04:21:29.480
lot more comfortably on it if mine dies and i were to have to buy another one i'm going to

04:21:29.480 --> 04:21:34.760
really hope there are good competitors and i can leave but if there wasn't yeah i don't know

04:21:35.960 --> 04:21:47.720
because it really does help a lot i cook and uh the partner does not hear me out and this is a

04:21:47.720 --> 04:21:56.040
pretty common occurrence water bed one side water bed water bed with a heated blanket under her

04:21:59.720 --> 04:22:03.240
uh i think you'd buy one again

04:22:06.120 --> 04:22:10.360
maybe there's alternatives if there was no other choice there's there's no there's no other choice

04:22:10.360 --> 04:22:15.880
it really has done a lot for me i i think you'd do it again i think if it came down to it what

04:22:15.880 --> 04:22:20.280
i would really hope to do is you remember that project where somebody figured out how to like

04:22:20.280 --> 04:22:26.760
hack it to make it local is i would put like a bounty out there to get that going again

04:22:26.920 --> 04:22:30.280
i think that's what i would do

04:22:33.960 --> 04:22:37.800
so it's my oh yeah i had to reset your uh your background i'm sorry about that Linus

04:22:41.560 --> 04:22:48.200
all right uh do make dual zone heated mattresses the problem is that is like the opposite of the

04:22:48.200 --> 04:22:53.400
point yeah he needs it cooled i need it cool he needs it heated it has to be able to do both

04:22:53.400 --> 04:22:58.520
in the winter i was running on they they have this thing where it can like

04:22:58.520 --> 04:23:04.840
track your body heat and and do whatever i turned that off or didn't subscribe to it or something

04:23:04.840 --> 04:23:09.640
i don't have that running i just have it pinned to the lowest possible temperature it can go

04:23:09.640 --> 04:23:15.880
all of the time and do that in the winter he's a warm boy and i still sometimes wake up like

04:23:16.040 --> 04:23:23.000
it's it's surely times says hear me out separate beds like no no there's no way i

04:23:24.120 --> 04:23:29.320
i man i've already like talked about this and i don't think we've ever actually reached a

04:23:29.320 --> 04:23:37.400
conclusion for how bad like tossing and turning or snoring or something would have to be

04:23:37.960 --> 04:23:45.400
for us to sleep in separate beds like it is like it is a key part of of being a couple and

04:23:45.400 --> 04:23:53.000
like there's no way i'm proud of said bamboo cooling sheets trust me bro yeah i did i did

04:23:53.000 --> 04:24:00.600
trust people who suggested that at one point in time trust me they're not magic trust me bro

04:24:00.600 --> 04:24:10.040
they're not magic i'd be cooking okay uh yeah the almighty q says my wife is a popsicle and i'm a

04:24:10.040 --> 04:24:18.840
human heater i feel you this is the standard yeah you got you got generic generic packaged letter a

04:24:19.880 --> 04:24:28.760
yeah all right more yes what's up calm goblers my calm gobbler quote on girl friend instantly

04:24:28.760 --> 04:24:36.840
fix the tv after i had uh floundered for an hour and i'm slow down slow down is that what we've done

04:24:37.080 --> 04:24:42.760
by calling them comms what do you mean calm gobbler

04:24:45.320 --> 04:24:49.320
Dan did you not even understand what you were saying you know he did there's no way

04:24:49.320 --> 04:24:55.240
he is to look at the look on his face see that's the look that's the look of a man who knew exactly

04:24:55.240 --> 04:25:03.560
what he was doing my calm guy in brackets girlfriend is crazy he actually looks like crazy he actually

04:25:03.560 --> 04:25:14.680
looks like this meme which one is i can't believe i can't do this i can't do this he actually did

04:25:14.680 --> 04:25:29.560
this he's this man i do you have any similar stories about your uh sorry uh i she fixed the tv

04:25:29.560 --> 04:25:35.080
after i had floundered for an hour and i was embarrassed do you have any similar stories

04:25:35.080 --> 04:25:41.000
of your partners out to teching you yeah emma emma goes who's the tech boyfriend now that's her line

04:25:41.880 --> 04:25:46.680
i uh look at me i'm the tech boyfriend now my daughter forgot her pin on a samsung phone and

04:25:46.680 --> 04:25:51.400
forgot the password for the samsung account and i said this is going to be more trouble than its

04:25:51.400 --> 04:25:57.480
worth and it's going to cost more to fix than this older phone is probably worth i just i can't be

04:25:57.480 --> 04:26:03.960
bothered and Yvonne goes reset it i can do no no you couldn't reset it unless she's like i'm going

04:26:03.960 --> 04:26:07.880
to go to a kiosk in the mall and i'm going to see if they can do it and they did it it was like 50

04:26:07.880 --> 04:26:15.720
bucks 75 something like that and i was like you were right i was wrong i would know i said it i would

04:26:15.720 --> 04:26:23.560
not have expected that to work it worked it turns out that our whole security it's it's it's tied to

04:26:23.640 --> 04:26:27.480
our account nobody should steal it because it's tied to my account thing is all completely

04:26:28.520 --> 04:26:36.840
all make believe yep cool Linus since you have recent experience in oral care i wanted to get

04:26:36.840 --> 04:26:42.760
your opinion on this i asked my dentist why they still pull teeth with pliers and he replied

04:26:42.760 --> 04:26:48.760
how would you innovate oral care that's a yeah that's a really great question it really is a very

04:26:49.560 --> 04:26:57.160
very unpleasant experience getting uh getting teeth out i if anything i would say like

04:26:58.200 --> 04:27:02.840
you know it'd be kind of cool if they if they had something that like really shaped around the

04:27:02.840 --> 04:27:07.880
tooth so that it you know grabbed it better because when they like slip or like you know

04:27:09.000 --> 04:27:14.200
you know break it off like i freaking i don't know beyond little drones that like flying your

04:27:14.200 --> 04:27:18.440
mouth and blasted out with lasers or something like i i don't really see how you can innovate on

04:27:18.440 --> 04:27:25.160
like rip a rip a thing out of a jawbone you've had teeth out you were awake for your wisdom teeth

04:27:25.160 --> 04:27:30.760
right no oh you we went on yeah they were like no you need to oh because mine were coming in like

04:27:30.760 --> 04:27:38.760
this way one of one of those coming in like totally sideways sweet yeah um and i got all four at once

04:27:38.760 --> 04:27:48.200
right okay yeah i said that i didn't want to do it like i was like no all right solid um oh you

04:27:48.280 --> 04:27:52.920
were impacted yeah i don't i don't really remember the details he uh he was rather convincing to

04:27:52.920 --> 04:28:01.560
the point where if i were correctly he like wasn't going to do it um yeah cool yeah he explained why

04:28:01.560 --> 04:28:07.560
he had to like i don't know but it was because it was mainly because the one of them was coming

04:28:07.560 --> 04:28:12.040
in like completely sideways and he's like yeah it's just like not cool this has to be you're

04:28:12.040 --> 04:28:15.720
going to go down and i was like okay i wonder how many people like a thousand years ago like how

04:28:15.720 --> 04:28:20.200
many people just died of their mouth getting horribly infected and it's spreading to their

04:28:20.200 --> 04:28:25.480
brain a lot like just i mean the the the primary reason why i had to do it was because that thing

04:28:25.480 --> 04:28:31.160
coming in the way that it was yeah meant that it was impossible to get a toothbrush back there

04:28:31.160 --> 04:28:35.000
yeah so there was like so then your mouth would just start rotting out eventually and then you

04:28:35.000 --> 04:28:40.680
then that's bad yeah um yeah it's kind of crazy because like anything that goes wrong with your

04:28:40.680 --> 04:28:48.760
body after your prime childbearing years whatever like it has it has no there's no evolutionary

04:28:48.760 --> 04:28:56.200
disadvantage to it so who cares if your teeth become mangled at 40 you already spread your seed or

04:28:56.760 --> 04:29:09.000
you know did the things yep yep cool hey lld calm check for your home servers what is your

04:29:09.000 --> 04:29:17.320
normal compliment of virtual machines or containers to run all right i just have like a desktop os and

04:29:17.320 --> 04:29:24.680
plex and that's pretty much all i do with mine i have not actually dabbled much yet it's mostly

04:29:24.680 --> 04:29:35.400
been desktop os's um but i will be running image um once i'm switched over once hexos goes out of

04:29:35.960 --> 04:29:42.440
investment disclosure i'm super excited for just simpler setup and and playing around

04:29:42.440 --> 04:29:48.280
with a whole bunch of stuff when i can oh i have a home assistant vm as well i've i've almost always

04:29:48.280 --> 04:29:52.680
only had one system so a lot of things were just running on the same system that i did everything

04:29:52.680 --> 04:29:59.400
else with um and usually i just lived by myself so the impact of that on anyone else was zero

04:29:59.480 --> 04:30:03.960
so if i had to restart my computer it's like well yeah whatever

04:30:07.160 --> 04:30:16.840
sup i'm lld i love the screwdrivers i've lost and broken a few at work a magnetite

04:30:16.840 --> 04:30:22.840
mine the devil's magnetite sounds cool it's like fair sound sounds like mcu stuff

04:30:23.800 --> 04:30:36.360
magnetite strongly magnetic ion oxide mineral cool yeah um why did you invert the mechanism

04:30:36.360 --> 04:30:45.160
from how every other screwdriver i guess like changes the direction and how often am i supposed

04:30:45.160 --> 04:30:49.800
to clean the dirt out of the ratchet okay you're not supposed to get dirt in the ratchet but um

04:30:50.040 --> 04:30:59.400
um i admit that we never thought of ip rating it uh the magnets in the screwdriver just want

04:30:59.400 --> 04:31:05.880
to return to their families right yeah that makes a ton of sense actually uh i i don't i

04:31:05.880 --> 04:31:12.760
literally don't i don't know if i don't know if you can do that that um wow didn't think of that

04:31:12.760 --> 04:31:18.920
as for why we inverted it it's because we're not the only ones snap on also goes the same

04:31:18.920 --> 04:31:25.880
direction that we do and to me it was always more intuitive to go this is the direction

04:31:25.880 --> 04:31:33.320
i am screwing in this is the direction i am unscrewing right now and so we actually put

04:31:33.320 --> 04:31:40.920
significant time and money and energy into a perfectly good ratchet ratchet um selector

04:31:40.920 --> 04:31:45.640
mechanism from mega pro that i really really really really really wanted to go the other way

04:31:46.600 --> 04:31:48.520
because i liked it better that way

04:31:51.080 --> 04:31:58.440
sorry correct call i'm glad you like it then i guess reach out to the support if you want

04:31:58.440 --> 04:32:03.080
cleaning inside i really don't know if they don't even think that's possible yeah well yeah

04:32:03.720 --> 04:32:08.920
how much did it cost to make modified molds for the Floatplane screwdriver kit and will it be

04:32:08.920 --> 04:32:14.520
around for a while in order to justify said molds i'm randomly curious cheaper than you'd think

04:32:14.520 --> 04:32:18.680
the molds for the og screwdriver were really expensive like over a hundred thousand dollars

04:32:18.680 --> 04:32:23.640
for all the molds in fact like a lot over a hundred thousand dollars i'm rusty on the numbers but a

04:32:23.640 --> 04:32:31.880
lot um the molds for the precision screwdriver were done over in china instead of by um itd here

04:32:31.880 --> 04:32:40.840
locally so i think it was like a couple grand i was told the number for like sure the the plate

04:32:41.800 --> 04:32:45.560
with the logo do you want me to say that one if i don't care if it was 500 bucks i don't believe

04:32:45.560 --> 04:32:49.960
you i need multiple sources that was the only reason that i had you say it just because i

04:32:49.960 --> 04:32:56.680
wanted to set that up i mean it's a good point though because i am probably someone who heard

04:32:56.680 --> 04:33:02.680
from someone who heard from someone so like at zelm says china owns your molds now and that is

04:33:02.680 --> 04:33:11.720
exactly the trade-off so you get something made onshore here you own it i own that mold for

04:33:11.720 --> 04:33:17.800
the og screwdriver and that's really really important for a product that i i really don't

04:33:17.800 --> 04:33:27.560
want to be copied um however the molding for a casing for what is the real product is a lot

04:33:27.560 --> 04:33:33.960
less important to me i think it would be harder for someone to replicate the user experience of

04:33:33.960 --> 04:33:40.200
the precision screwdriver simply by having the mold for the plastic shell that sits around it

04:33:40.200 --> 04:33:49.080
so talking specifically this yeah this piece so that's why we make strategic decisions um about

04:33:49.080 --> 04:33:54.600
where we are going to make our molds depending on what their purpose is the og screwdriver also

04:33:54.600 --> 04:33:59.960
needed to be useful for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of cycles and a better

04:33:59.960 --> 04:34:06.280
quality mold will last longer before it needs to be remade that i don't know a few thousand we're

04:34:06.280 --> 04:34:13.240
not going to make a ton of those so it's just not as important that it's a super high quality mold

04:34:13.240 --> 04:34:24.040
that we we own forever six of three asks how long is it going to be available i don't know it depends

04:34:24.120 --> 04:34:28.920
on how it sells and it depends on how many we bought and i don't know either of those things

04:34:28.920 --> 04:34:34.600
right now if you want one buy it though like i we always go through this when stuff comes in

04:34:34.600 --> 04:34:39.160
on LTT Store it it's like people forget sometimes that we are still a relatively small company in

04:34:39.160 --> 04:34:43.640
the grand scheme of things especially when you consider how much stuff we do like how many

04:34:43.640 --> 04:34:50.680
skews we have um like we will we'll bring in a shirt that it turns out we got wrong and we're

04:34:50.680 --> 04:34:56.200
moving like one unit every three days so then we'll we'll put it on sale and during a big promo

04:34:56.200 --> 04:35:00.200
and we'll sell through them all and we'll go oh thank god they're gone and then we'll have people

04:35:00.200 --> 04:35:04.920
crawling out of the woodwork going oh i was i i wanted to buy one of those i was saving up for

04:35:04.920 --> 04:35:12.520
that i'm sorry i can't i can't do an entire like 4 000 unit order so that you can have one

04:35:13.400 --> 04:35:18.840
when you like you missed it i because they'll it'll take me like four years to sell through them

04:35:19.560 --> 04:35:23.640
like i can't do that sorry

04:35:26.280 --> 04:35:31.560
hi lld one for Linus how do you another one for me do we have any for luke i feel like i've done

04:35:31.560 --> 04:35:38.200
all of them nope none i don't know i didn't scroll through it i got one for luke yeah let's do one

04:35:38.200 --> 04:35:45.720
for luke sure hi lld actually this one's for Linus no hi from san diego if the open ai bubble

04:35:45.720 --> 04:35:52.440
crash were to be controlled implosion where would they actually split up is the name brand

04:35:52.440 --> 04:35:58.280
all that's left other models are better and i i it's cut off a bit probably profitable and profitable

04:35:59.720 --> 04:36:05.960
other models are better at profitable is it name land the name brand of open ai is worth a lot

04:36:05.960 --> 04:36:10.680
i think so too chat gbt brand of chat gbt somebody said in Floatplane that you can't really like

04:36:10.680 --> 04:36:18.040
say chat anymore because people are calling chat chat gbt like i'm gonna i'm gonna chat it crazy

04:36:18.040 --> 04:36:23.000
yeah and it's chat shot up i didn't know that we're that part of culture now we've verbed it like

04:36:23.000 --> 04:36:29.800
googling yeah i'm gonna and it's chat that's the stupidest thing ever is that true stupid hey chat

04:36:29.800 --> 04:36:36.600
is that true like actually though i i don't know somebody said that randomly yeah it's called chat

04:36:36.600 --> 04:36:48.360
no wow jippity i prefer jippity that's uh yeah it's a youtube creator thing uh a a friend a queen's

04:36:48.360 --> 04:36:55.080
friend whatever you want to call it um came up with consulting the sands and i like that a lot

04:36:55.080 --> 04:37:00.040
that's always been my favorite one i will consult the sands i say talking to my parrot

04:37:00.200 --> 04:37:02.680
according to chat gbt

04:37:04.920 --> 04:37:10.520
users have started calling chat gbt simply chat because it's short and rolls off the tongue

04:37:11.640 --> 04:37:14.760
yeah that's rough i like consulting the sands it's far from short

04:37:16.120 --> 04:37:22.840
but i like that it doesn't it keeps the idea of the fact that you're just asking

04:37:22.840 --> 04:37:30.840
a computer chip like right at the core of it and i love that like it's it's actually it's it's

04:37:30.840 --> 04:37:37.240
by far my favorite one i did not come up with it but uh that's my favorite one i will consult the

04:37:37.240 --> 04:37:43.000
sands it also sounds like epic yeah when it's like the opposite of that and then can you like set

04:37:43.000 --> 04:37:45.960
the font and then you could consult the comic sands

04:37:51.640 --> 04:38:00.760
yep you're fired tonight we're gonna wear this bell okay few left few left few left let's see

04:38:03.320 --> 04:38:07.800
howdy boys there's a quick one for Linus how much longer do you have to deal with those braces

04:38:08.520 --> 04:38:09.160
oh

04:38:12.120 --> 04:38:19.720
um are they still yellow sometimes when i eat curry my god what i like curry yeah well i might

04:38:19.720 --> 04:38:24.760
have curry tonight just to spite you hold off a little bit brother no i'm not that bad right now

04:38:24.760 --> 04:38:25.160
did you guys

04:38:28.360 --> 04:38:33.400
they're yellow bro get a different color get something that won't stain it's actually crazy

04:38:34.120 --> 04:38:36.920
purple i'm supposed to be the one that doesn't care about my appearance

04:38:38.280 --> 04:38:46.360
i mean look i damn he can't go you can't go and shave that but on a different shirt Linus

04:38:46.360 --> 04:38:52.040
but just go change your teeth color things i was thinking about maybe on the last one the fact that

04:38:52.040 --> 04:38:57.080
we don't change them in even thumbnails is crazy to me i'll get like i'll get like green and pink

04:38:57.080 --> 04:39:02.120
ones i'll go lambo for the last one i in fact i was going to do it on not the last one but the

04:39:02.120 --> 04:39:06.760
previous elastic change and then the reason i didn't is that right now i'm using what they

04:39:06.760 --> 04:39:12.520
call a power chain so instead of having just individual elastics on each tooth it's just

04:39:12.520 --> 04:39:17.960
one big chain all the way across the all the way across the top and a lot of the bottom right now

04:39:17.960 --> 04:39:26.280
so what i had wanted to do was like green on my canines and then pink everywhere else but

04:39:27.240 --> 04:39:29.240
was not meant to be unfortunately

04:39:31.240 --> 04:39:36.040
i don't know man i just don't they still bother me a lot in terms of the pain slicing up the

04:39:36.040 --> 04:39:40.680
inside of my lips and all that but they don't really bother me in terms of like the jaw ache or

04:39:40.680 --> 04:39:47.400
the um like the look or the talking you know it's funny the mics on the tonight show i felt like

04:39:47.400 --> 04:39:51.720
picked it up a lot worse or i was just nervous or something but i don't notice it as much in our

04:39:51.720 --> 04:39:56.200
regular videos as i did when i was watching that i feel like i don't know if this impacts it

04:39:56.200 --> 04:40:01.320
i feel like you were talking a lot that day because i started noticing it happening more as

04:40:01.320 --> 04:40:06.600
the day progressed it happens more when my lips are really sore and really cut up oh dude i got

04:40:06.600 --> 04:40:12.040
the most i'm still dealing with chap lips from that trip so like oh i'm talking about on the inside

04:40:14.360 --> 04:40:18.760
and so it sometimes it'll get like a really deep cut and then it'll catch on the bottom of the

04:40:18.760 --> 04:40:23.640
thing every time my lip slides up oh man which happens which happens way more in speech than

04:40:23.640 --> 04:40:28.280
you realize yeah which i know because now i'm acutely aware of it every single time it happens

04:40:28.280 --> 04:40:35.960
right yeah uh yes i know about i know about the wax but i'm just add as and it's hard to remember

04:40:35.960 --> 04:40:39.720
to carry it with me and put it back on and take it off before i eat or just eat it and then put

04:40:39.720 --> 04:40:44.600
it back on after i eat it's just a whole thing man um anyway it's just this one

04:40:47.080 --> 04:40:52.520
yeah they actually remounted this bracket on the lower left canine last time i was in uh moving

04:40:52.520 --> 04:40:57.080
it over theoretically that's supposed to be one of the benefits of these ceramic braces that this

04:40:57.080 --> 04:41:02.600
particular system is that you don't have to remount brackets but i did so they remounted this one

04:41:02.600 --> 04:41:08.360
and they're trying to turn this one and so most of it has made really good progress and like i don't

04:41:08.360 --> 04:41:16.600
know i think uh looks pretty straight now right it's pretty lined up well there's that one that's

04:41:16.600 --> 04:41:23.800
twisted like 15 degrees off that i might be waiting waiting waiting waiting for us to turn

04:41:23.800 --> 04:41:28.440
because they can't turn it too fast would you ever take the top row off but leave the bottom

04:41:29.080 --> 04:41:37.320
i would my ortho won't okay so it's not a thing apparently weird but this is the same ortho that

04:41:37.320 --> 04:41:43.880
wouldn't even work on them until i got my wisdom teeth out which other orthos did not say the same

04:41:43.880 --> 04:41:48.440
thing so it's not like that's just standard practice but they were rated really well and

04:41:48.440 --> 04:41:53.000
unlike the other one that i got a quote from they didn't want to pull any of my non-wisdom teeth

04:41:53.000 --> 04:41:56.920
one of the other ones wanted to pull a tooth from the bottom because of this crowding issue

04:41:56.920 --> 04:42:02.600
and i just have me have a middle tooth and i was like buddy we're not doing that no yeah you know

04:42:02.600 --> 04:42:08.440
what's funny though is i was like upset about him saying that i should do that but i actually it took

04:42:08.440 --> 04:42:16.600
me years and my wife pointing out to me that she has one tooth out and that her her smile is offset

04:42:17.160 --> 04:42:21.000
oh i don't actually necessarily care about that have you ever noticed no yeah and i don't care

04:42:21.000 --> 04:42:24.280
about that part that wasn't my point i just if you don't have to pull my teeth out i'm gonna

04:42:24.280 --> 04:42:32.920
rather not yeah that was my only yeah yeah tom cruise tom cruise has a crooked smile

04:42:32.920 --> 04:42:38.600
he's got a center top tooth shut up you will never not be able to notice it

04:42:39.160 --> 04:42:43.320
tom cruise middle tooth i think i could not notice it because i know about my wife's

04:42:43.320 --> 04:42:50.600
one and i still don't notice it he totally done oh my god he does what i'm sorry for anybody who

04:42:50.600 --> 04:42:57.320
didn't know this no i'm just never gonna care oh that's fun trivia oh my god it's it's like a

04:42:57.320 --> 04:43:07.400
right dead center that's crazy i'm not gonna lie to me it just looks like his mouth is turned to

04:43:07.400 --> 04:43:16.280
the side all the time because like i think it looks like he has two primary teeth in the front

04:43:16.280 --> 04:43:17.720
they're just shifted to the side

04:43:20.520 --> 04:43:28.440
yeah pretty much okay that hurts to see yeah wow i wow i just don't care

04:43:30.280 --> 04:43:39.480
i don't yeah i don't know more more merch messages that are now check out messages

04:43:41.080 --> 04:43:48.520
you'll get there eventually still getting used to it i'm gonna screw it up at some point because all over my screen it says

04:43:49.320 --> 04:43:56.840
merch messages yeah so we'll get that fixed hi lod one for alinas how do you keep from

04:43:56.840 --> 04:44:02.840
becoming overwhelmed by challenges and burden of running a company any tips tricks or thoughts to share

04:44:02.840 --> 04:44:16.600
uh god i wish i had to me that's always something man it's always something like i

04:44:16.600 --> 04:44:21.240
i forget who was in my office but i was just like they were giving me some kind of bad news and i was

04:44:21.240 --> 04:44:30.680
just like can i just you know life is already hard mode right for everyone for everyone i'm not

04:44:30.680 --> 04:44:35.560
special right like my life is not special hard if anything i've been i've been very blessed very

04:44:35.560 --> 04:44:44.840
lucky very privileged in a lot of ways um but life in general it's pve pvp pv all the things

04:44:45.880 --> 04:44:52.680
it's it's it's it's tough life is life is hard and i just i kind of like like i wasn't i wasn't

04:44:52.680 --> 04:44:58.360
yelling at them but i was like i was kind of doing the thing where i like talk very animatedly like

04:44:58.360 --> 04:45:04.600
i'm hosting but in a one-on-one conversation that's like just kind of almost like shrek style like

04:45:04.600 --> 04:45:11.320
could just could just nothing go wrong for five minutes you know can we just have can we just

04:45:11.320 --> 04:45:19.560
have everything operate normally and you know i just i just come into the office and every and

04:45:19.560 --> 04:45:28.200
like there's no tech company you know sending us a broken sample or no you know someone dropped a

04:45:28.200 --> 04:45:33.080
camera or you know like whatever for just could we just have a smooth operation

04:45:35.240 --> 04:45:43.800
you know what i think it might have been it might have been when the the RAM apocalypse started happening because it was right on the heels of us making the msr ppc

04:45:45.000 --> 04:45:51.720
and i was i was just like for for for for five minutes could the industry just just f*** off

04:45:51.720 --> 04:45:58.840
and let me talk about how cool the stuff they make is can we just chill you know

04:46:01.240 --> 04:46:10.200
and the answer is no and i think the only way that i managed to keep from being overwhelmed

04:46:10.920 --> 04:46:18.600
is remembering why we do it and it's for it's for magic moments like you know seeing

04:46:18.600 --> 04:46:23.960
longtime employees who i've known since they were they were they were young and childless bring

04:46:23.960 --> 04:46:29.960
their their kids and you know sitting on santa's lap at the christmas party or you know whether it's

04:46:30.760 --> 04:46:36.520
whether it's someone you know sending me a little message after hours or or having a quick chat with

04:46:36.520 --> 04:46:42.680
me in the parking lot telling me like oh i you know i got a new car you know that kind of thing or

04:46:42.760 --> 04:46:49.080
i bought a house or you know whatever it is we had we've had some people

04:46:50.520 --> 04:46:54.920
be injured over the last little while like not at work but you know

04:46:57.160 --> 04:47:02.360
hey i you know use the benefits program in this way or that way and and that really helped you

04:47:02.360 --> 04:47:08.280
know you know why do we why do we do it and the answer always has to be people because if it's not

04:47:08.840 --> 04:47:13.320
then you're not going to be able to keep it up and it's been really nice for physio i've i've

04:47:13.320 --> 04:47:19.880
found a physio like my guess is three years ago at this point who like i actually really

04:47:19.880 --> 04:47:25.480
jive with and every time i've gone to him i've needed to see him once for the thing that is

04:47:25.480 --> 04:47:29.080
like a problem and he'll give me like a piece of paper with all the instructions and then

04:47:29.080 --> 04:47:34.040
i actually do it i never have to see him again until a year later well until the next thing

04:47:34.040 --> 04:47:39.480
comes up but like it's it's not the same thing oh i see what you mean yeah and he's freaking

04:47:39.480 --> 04:47:44.440
awesome and i've never had to pay for it which has been sick or like you know you pay the little

04:47:44.440 --> 04:47:50.280
thing but yeah yeah but it's like a token almost yeah like someone at one of the at one of the

04:47:50.280 --> 04:47:56.360
pool parties at my place in the summer um someone was talking about their adult uh braces journey

04:47:56.360 --> 04:48:00.760
and we don't do full coverage for braces but we do cover a very significant amount of it

04:48:00.840 --> 04:48:05.400
and it was like yeah this was like why i was able to do it and i'm like that's cool

04:48:06.120 --> 04:48:12.920
you know yeah i mean it's not cool it's adult braces but but but but it's something the end

04:48:12.920 --> 04:48:22.840
result i'm allowed to say they're not cool i have them hi dll how would you guys tackle

04:48:22.840 --> 04:48:28.920
cooling a pc with outside air in an insulated workshop using the positive pressure created as

04:48:28.920 --> 04:48:33.640
the main form of ventilation absolutely love the products have to save

04:48:35.960 --> 04:48:40.360
oh they bought a gift card i was gonna say they bought a save up for something else yeah um

04:48:40.360 --> 04:48:45.960
can we fix that truncation thing is or is that user error where people are like it definitely

04:48:45.960 --> 04:48:51.160
tells you how many characters you have left i have done that when i've replied occasionally uh

04:48:51.160 --> 04:48:55.800
yeah but can you type past the amount yeah maybe we could maybe we could stop them

04:48:56.520 --> 04:49:03.800
or something just an idea um yeah it's happened quite twice tonight it doesn't happen very often

04:49:03.800 --> 04:49:11.000
at all but cooling a pc with outside air yeah it does stop using the positive pressure created

04:49:11.000 --> 04:49:16.840
maybe it's a mobile thing as the main form of ventilation so it sounds like you want to put

04:49:16.840 --> 04:49:26.680
your pc's intake on the like the air intake for your workshop

04:49:30.200 --> 04:49:35.400
sorry i'm trying to wrap my brain around this using the positive pressure created

04:49:35.400 --> 04:49:43.720
as the main form of ventilation so it sounds like you just need like a room ventilation fan

04:49:44.360 --> 04:49:54.440
and then you just need to like put a duct on the back of your pc and then on the front of your pc

04:49:55.800 --> 04:49:59.720
and then put the vent fan maybe you'd have to have two maybe you'd have to have like an assist

04:49:59.720 --> 04:50:03.240
motor so you'd have one like right at the vent and it blows into the pc and then one on the

04:50:03.240 --> 04:50:07.480
other side of the pc or something honestly this sounds like more work than it's probably worth

04:50:08.440 --> 04:50:15.400
is what i am thinking right now and luke doesn't seem to care he's doing something else entirely

04:50:15.960 --> 04:50:22.040
yeah he's on reddit yeah classic luke well i'm looking into a link that was linked they were

04:50:22.040 --> 04:50:25.240
trying to tag you in full playing chat so i was checking to see if you should see it and it's

04:50:25.240 --> 04:50:30.600
had somebody made somebody as far as i can tell vibe coded the the app that you asked for oh really

04:50:30.600 --> 04:50:33.400
yeah oh that's hilarious so i was i was checking it out okay

04:50:35.080 --> 04:50:44.120
how's fast yeah hey lld as a fellow workaholic how do you balance work without ignoring your

04:50:44.120 --> 04:50:47.160
significant other start a company with her

04:50:49.240 --> 04:50:56.200
not financial advice actually not advice we made it work but it was not always easy lots of tears

04:51:00.920 --> 04:51:02.840
have a very understanding partner

04:51:05.240 --> 04:51:10.680
no all none of this is advice okay i also have a technique

04:51:15.560 --> 04:51:20.040
break up and then it won't be a problem at all

04:51:22.360 --> 04:51:24.040
three not answers

04:51:31.160 --> 04:51:41.480
oh my god that was horrible oh man that was like what's that that was just everything got

04:51:41.480 --> 04:51:50.440
progressively worse the whole time yeah i shouldn't have talked isn't that like a storytelling

04:51:50.760 --> 04:51:54.280
technique like escalation something like that

04:52:00.360 --> 04:52:05.080
i don't know yeah i can't find it all right hit me hit me with a with a product message maybe

04:52:05.080 --> 04:52:13.320
don't ask us about work stuff we don't know we're all weird um last one i have they're not gonna

04:52:13.320 --> 04:52:19.400
stop i know uh the last one i've got i am in the process of building my ultimate pc

04:52:19.960 --> 04:52:26.680
singularity computer's case hell yeah double loop 50 90 holy hand picked components only

04:52:26.680 --> 04:52:36.760
la creme de la creme should i go for the 9800 3xd or rather 9950 3xd um okay normally i wouldn't

04:52:36.760 --> 04:52:44.680
do this 3d normally i wouldn't do this but it seems to me that this looks like it's going

04:52:44.680 --> 04:52:50.680
to be a real product i don't actually have any inside knowledge but there is there was rumored

04:52:50.680 --> 04:53:03.880
to be a 9950 x3d 2 and the difference between this and the uh the 9950 x3d um is that both

04:53:04.680 --> 04:53:12.840
of the ccds will have 3d vcash um which means that you will never have to worry about the

04:53:12.840 --> 04:53:18.840
issue that people run into on the current flagship the current 16 core flagship where

04:53:18.840 --> 04:53:26.360
occasionally a gaming thread will end up on the wrong die and you can um you can experience

04:53:26.360 --> 04:53:32.840
slightly reduced performance in those cases which is which is why the 9850 x3d or previously the

04:53:32.840 --> 04:53:41.400
9800 x3d were like the the gaming flagship but this new one looks like it should be zero compromise

04:53:44.440 --> 04:53:48.360
so make of that what you will but i have no confirmation when it will arrive

04:53:49.160 --> 04:53:57.960
if it didn't arrive if this is for gaming then i would probably go 9850 x3d it's the fastest

04:53:57.960 --> 04:54:04.440
gaming CPU but because you've gone 5090 i assume you're going to get a high resolution monitor

04:54:04.440 --> 04:54:10.760
which means you are f***ing never going to notice that your CPU is slightly faster

04:54:12.920 --> 04:54:21.080
and on that note we'll see you again next week same bedtime same bed show bye

04:54:27.960 --> 04:54:41.080
so
