WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000 Shut up! 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:06.000 Hi. 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.000 Is that still my phone? Mine's on the ground under a sweater. 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000 Don't make me use my five power again. That was incredibly effective. 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.000 All right, we're gonna have to start this pretty soon because... 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000 Yeah, let's sort of rip. How do I put this? 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.000 I have a lot of backpacks to sell. Oh. 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.000 All right, let's do this thing. 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.000 Not as many as I did an hour ago, though. That's good. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000 Okay, I'm doing it. Okay. 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000 What's your heart out, five? 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000 No, six. Nice. Okay, that's not too bad. 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:10.000 I'm resuming the selected now. What's up, everyone? Welcome to the WAN Show. 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.000 Hello. A bit of a downer week this week. 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.000 Gordon Ma, legendary PC hardware journalist, has... 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000 Excuse me, Gordon Ma Ong... Has... 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000 Has... Has... Has... 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.000 Has... Has... Has... 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.000 Has... Has... Excuse me, Gordon Ma Ong... 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:36.000 Has... Has passed away at 58. 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000 So, we'll be talking a little bit about that. 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000 His family's gotta go fund me because, you know... 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000 Late-stage healthcare in America can be real challenging. 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.000 Yeah. So, that's a real downer. 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.000 We'll also be talking about the honey controversy that broke this week. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.000 Turns out, honey has been doing some stuff that is not sweet. 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.000 What else we got this week? I'm talking about Linus on Colin and Samir and... 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.000 We're gonna talk about a favorite moment of 2024. 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000 Oh. Well, that sounds at least good. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000 Yeah. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:39.000 Oh, the show is brought to you by JumpFoud, MSI, and... 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.000 Oh, sorry, I got totally bamboozled by myself. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:50.000 Boot.dev. Boot.dev, right. And, of course, it's brought to you by our chair partner, Secret Lab, our skin partner, 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.000 Dbrand, and our laptop partner, LG. So, why don't we jump right into Mr. Gordon. 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:03.000 Unfortunately, I suck at professional networking, and while I did have the privilege of meeting 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.000 Gordon on a number of occasions, we weren't particularly close, but it's a funny thing 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.000 because, you know, just like anyone else that I kind of cut my teeth... 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000 Go away, phone. It's buzzing in the mic. 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.000 Like anyone else that I kind of cut my tech teeth reading, you know, the Ryan Shroutz 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:29.400 and the Anand Lel Shimpies of the world, you know, Gordon means more to me than I probably 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.400 did to him. Right. Yeah. 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.460 You know? Yeah, yeah. Like we did a video a little while ago building a maximum PC, dream PC, from when I was in 00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:44.000 high school, like that was Gordon's jam, right? 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.000 I used to read those, yeah. So, I'm going to read the thing that our team prepared, just because that makes it a little 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:58.280 bit easier. Gordon Maung, executive editor of PC World, passed away at 58, which, sorry, I'm already 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:07.000 going off script, seriously 58, like 58 is the new 48, honestly, and it seems way too 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:14.920 soon. Yeah. After a battle with pancreatic cancer, insert obligatory cancer, I don't care how early 00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:19.640 it is in the video. Apparently, beeping too early in the video is bad for the algorithm, but I think we can 00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:25.800 make an exception here. Yeah. A pioneering figure in tech journalism, Gordon had over 25 years of experience, particularly 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.840 in covering computer hardware and chips. He was known for his investigative rigor, sharp wit, and strong personality, which resonated 00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:40.280 with both his colleagues and the tech community. Gordon's career began in journalism as a police reporter for the Contra Costa Times. 00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:44.360 In 1997, he would join Computer World and later Maximum PC, where he became famous for his 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.520 passionate, often humorous commentary and deep technical expertise. 00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:52.760 He was the driving force behind Maximum PC's Dream Machine project and its consumer advocacy 00:04:52.760 --> 00:04:58.960 column, Watchdog. Later Gordon joined PC World, where he continued his in-depth coverage of PC hardware. 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:03.980 He began his foray into video with Hardcore Hardware series and the Full Merid podcast. 00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:11.040 He was actually shockingly good on camera for one of the traditional written people. 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:18.960 Yeah. I was not a given. It was not a given, like multi-talented guy. 00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.920 It's very few people that made that switch, but he seemed as natural on camera as he was 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:31.440 on a written page, which is pretty incredible. 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.880 Parky in the chat says, never heard of him. I guess I'm too zoomer. 00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:38.600 I promise you that you've read something, Gordon wrote. 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.800 Or read something influenced by Gordon. 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:57.160 I promise you. The reason for that is that so many of the formats, so many of the styles that were started 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.640 while he was there have become just commonplace. 00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:09.200 It's kind of like saying, yeah, I've never, oh man, I'm trying to think of like a trend 00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:11.520 setting movie or show or something like that. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.920 It's like saying, yeah, I've never seen a bit from I Love Lucy. It's like you have. 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:24.800 You just don't know it because all the characters were recast and the script was retooled slightly, 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.240 but Lucille Ball was a trendsetter. Yeah. 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:35.480 Anyway, Gordon's work and legacy in the tech journalism space marked by both his technical 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.400 know-how and larger-than-life persona earned him widespread respect and admiration can 00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:45.480 confirm. Gordon was committed until the very end, publishing video hardware reviews as recently as November 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.280 6th during the end of his treatment. Wow. 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:59.880 I give you my personal line of Sebastian promise that I will not be working up until 00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:03.840 a couple of months before my passing. 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:11.160 If I find out that I have a serious illness, I will peace so fast that you guys won't even 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.280 remember I was ever here. 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:25.080 That is an unbelievable level of commitment and actually super admirable because you have 00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:32.080 to know that anyone who stays at it is fighting hard. 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.800 Having that confidence that things are going to be normal someday. 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:46.720 Just pushing for his family, I'm sure. Yeah. If you'd like to hear more about Gordon, there's a page full of heartfelt tributes on PC World 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.760 as well as lovely videos from Tech Tech Potato, aka Dr. Ian Cutress, who is one of the folks 00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:58.320 that I grew up reading a lot as well as Gamer's Nexus. 00:07:58.320 --> 00:08:12.160 There's a whole bunch of discussion topics here, but I think that the best thing to do 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:19.480 right now, Dan, can you go ahead and get the GoFundMe linked in the chat? 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.640 Let's just hurry up. I'm just looking at this for the first time. 00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:29.200 This is actually incredible, massive shout out to the community for stepping up here. 00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:34.320 Why don't we just finish it off, but there's no reason that you can't exceed a goal. 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.880 So Dan, can I just give you the company card and can you do that off camera? 00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:42.120 Absolutely. Okay, thank you. 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.880 It's the one that I am kind of pulling out here. 00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:49.480 No, that's this one. 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.480 I don't know. You'll find it. 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.480 Thanks, Dan. 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:02.880 Whoa, AC3 production says Falcon Northwest donated 25,000. 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:06.280 They did, yeah. Massive shout out, Kel. What an absolute... 00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:10.560 Early on, too. What an absolute chad. 00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:19.880 Kel's super cool. He's the kind of person who, as far as I can tell, doesn't really need to, doesn't really 00:09:19.880 --> 00:09:25.560 need to like, oh, sorry, yeah, yeah, go ahead and use that one. 00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:29.880 That's fine. Thanks, Dan. Kel's the kind of person that, as far as I can tell, doesn't really need to build gaming 00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:36.840 systems anymore if he doesn't really feel like it. I wish I'd gotten to know Gordon better. 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:42.720 Like I said, I'm terrible at networking, and I have a tendency to just go to trade shows 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:47.960 and stuff and just go completely head down in my work, and stuff like this that makes 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.120 me kind of regret that. 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.240 Yeah. Did you get a chance to meet him, at least? 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.360 I met him twice. Yeah, okay. 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:04.920 Just finish it off. They have a goal. Let's just make sure they hit it. 00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:07.920 Yeah. Yeah. All right. 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:25.480 Well, on that note, why don't we move on to sort of the other heavy topic for this week, 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:31.200 which is, of course, honey. 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:40.320 So first of all, big shout out to Megaleg for the work that was done reporting on what 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:49.440 honey and actually, well, parent company PayPal has been up to with respect to... 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.440 This is truly a very professional podcast, video podcast, whatever this thing is. 00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:01.240 Thank you for that, Luke. Since when are you the comic relief? 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.800 Your job is to laugh at the comic relief, or the laugh talk. I'm timely alarms. 00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:08.560 I think that's my only standard alarm for this week that I didn't pause for the week, 00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:11.560 because I was out. Nice. Right. 00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:16.200 That's my leave for Wanshoe alarm. And then Wanshoe was really, because I have a flight to catch. 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:25.120 Brilliant. Yeah. So, massive shout out to Megaleg for the work that he put into digging into what exactly 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:30.200 honey's been doing. So I've got a few things to kind of discuss. 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.760 First of all, the only point from Megaleg's video that we were aware of three years ago 00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:39.320 when we halted our honey sponsorship was the affiliate code ripping. 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:47.480 We heard about that from some tweets, like this one from Barnacles. 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:53.600 We also saw it covered on our own forum. 00:11:53.600 --> 00:12:04.480 There we go. So that was not really news, that part of it. 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:14.760 But obviously, as creators, we saw that and we were like, hey, that's not really cool, 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:22.320 but we didn't really think that other than any creator, friends, that it was something 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:30.120 that impacted the general consumer. So it wasn't something that really merited a full video or anything like that. 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.480 Okay, thanks, Dan. 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.240 Were you live for that? They heard you? Or no? 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.240 Oh, okay. Dan said, yeah, he's done. And the goal is done. 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:54.240 Please, I'm sure that the goal is really helpful, but I'm sure that any little bits could help. 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.120 Yeah, I don't think GoFundMe looks like it's real time, so we'll have to wait a sec for 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:04.240 that to come through. Okay, thanks, Dan. 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:11.120 Okay, anyway, affiliate code ripping, bad, affects creators, doesn't affect the end user. 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.360 We were not the only ones who knew about the scam, though. 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:23.520 Here's a video from 2020. I actually didn't watch this one, but I don't know. 00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:29.560 The whole thing for me with this is that Megaleg did reach out to us for comment, and my general 00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:37.680 position on it was, yeah, we dropped these guys three years ago. 00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:42.120 This all came out like the affiliate ripping stuff, everything we knew about came out years 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:46.120 ago. Very interested to see the video on all of the other stuff. 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.240 I don't really know what exactly it has to do with us. 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:58.480 I am a little confused still as to what exactly it has to do with us. 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.440 Anyway, back when we dropped Honey, we had a call with their executive team. 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.920 It was clear that they had no intention to revise their business model away from the 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:15.400 affiliate code ripping, so we decided to end our sponsorship agreement with them. 00:14:15.400 --> 00:14:20.160 If we'd known about any of the more end user-centric issues discussed in Megaleg's video, such as 00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:23.760 purposely not giving users the best deal possible because of behind-the-scenes partnerships 00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:29.280 with companies, we probably would have raised more alarm bells, but we had no reason at 00:14:29.400 --> 00:14:33.600 that time to believe that Honey was anything other than what it claimed to be, which was 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.520 a coupon finding service that took an affiliate cut. 00:14:39.520 --> 00:14:44.760 Many in the industry stopped working with Honey without an LTT video being made, so I think 00:14:44.760 --> 00:14:55.400 that one characterization of this whole situation that we knew and didn't tell anybody is bizarre. 00:14:55.400 --> 00:15:01.440 We were publicly informed by other people and then acted on it. 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:06.960 Also we publicly posted on our forum that we dropped them and gave the reason for it. 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.680 We've also never really been like, people have tried to draw parallels between this 00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:19.800 and Eufy, but Eufy's a tech company that had huge end user problems. 00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:23.720 That's something that we do, that is something that we have done always. 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:34.760 Honey had major implications immediately right now for user privacy, whereas Honey, in some 00:15:34.760 --> 00:15:45.680 ways it's more insidious, but in other ways it's less immediately damaging than an unencrypted 00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:52.120 feed of every camera that our company has sold. 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:57.520 There's bad and then there's really, really, really, really bad. 00:15:57.520 --> 00:16:00.520 And also in our realm. 00:16:00.520 --> 00:16:04.320 As for Karma, why we took a sponsorship from Karma, they assured us that they didn't do 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.880 any link yoinking, which when we tested it seemed to be true. 00:16:07.880 --> 00:16:16.000 We only worked with them once. We did four sponsor spots on three videos and then didn't work with them anymore. 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.440 As for the landing page that uses our likeness to promote Honey, we no longer have any direct 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.400 contacts that are working there, but we're working to have the page removed. Hopefully we can. 00:16:25.400 --> 00:16:32.560 Speaking of Eufy, Anchor still uses our likeness and with these really large and in some cases 00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:38.960 overseas companies, it can be very difficult to get stuff like that fixed. 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:43.200 Mike's Orange says, Linus, people think that because the video sort of implies that only 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:52.080 you knew, so people are misinterpreting that. I mean, I don't think it sort of implies, I think, our prominent featuring in the video 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.320 leads people there. I don't really understand that. 00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:05.560 I don't really get the emphasis on us, to be honest with you. 00:17:05.560 --> 00:17:12.920 I don't really know what people are expecting me to say about it other than, yeah, we heard 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.440 about it in the news, same as apparently basically everyone else, given how many folks stopped 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:33.720 working with them in the 2020, 2021 time frame, and yeah, cool. 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:38.560 It's also arguable that LTT was by far the largest channel and thus had the platform 00:17:38.560 --> 00:17:41.680 to motivate wider change. It's arguable. 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.240 It's very difficult to argue. I mean, given that Mr. Beast was the number one honey promoter, I think that if you were 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:54.080 to make the argument that LTT is bigger than Mr. Beast, then not only would that be a difficult 00:17:54.080 --> 00:18:15.000 argument, you'd be kind of a f***ing idiot. So, I don't know, dude, cool. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.360 Should we move on? I don't really... I don't have a ton else to say on this, I think. 00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:30.080 Honestly, when I watched the video and I remembered us dropping honey, but didn't particularly 00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:36.760 remember the reasons. After some people brought up the old video that you had mentioned and a couple other 00:18:36.760 --> 00:18:41.760 things, I vaguely remembered that, but I wasn't really a part of video stuff at that time, 00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:45.840 so like... I don't know. The situation's bizarre, dude. 00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:50.800 I am a victim here. I was surprised by the... I don't know if people noticed that. 00:18:50.800 --> 00:19:01.320 As a creator for whom affiliate revenue from Amazon was in 2020, 7% of our business team's 00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:06.760 revenue. 00:19:06.760 --> 00:19:10.760 This had a significant impact on our business, and absolutely it would have impacted other 00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:17.800 creators too, and they are victims in this, but it doesn't change that anyone who relied 00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:23.360 on affiliate revenue and who had it skimmed by honey was victimized by honey. 00:19:23.360 --> 00:19:27.320 We were compensated, at least partially, by being... 00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:32.360 A lot of the... Yeah, a lot of the people that were sponsored by them were, which was like the internet 00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:39.400 at that point in time. But like, guys. 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:44.680 And then the Karma Now thing looked bad, working with them one time. 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.600 Something that set out to me quite a bit during the video was that it was assessed in its 00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:54.160 current state, because you obviously can't go back and assess it from the past. 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.720 But that gets tough, because you don't know what you guys were saying. 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.600 They assured that it didn't work that way. You tested it. Okay, cool. 00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:05.920 They can change it on you. They could have changed it on you immediately after the sponsor spots went up. 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.920 Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We don't know when it happened. 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.200 I don't know. It was all years ago. Could have happened years later, like who knows. 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.920 Yeah. And Voight says, for me, it felt like Honey was quietly dropped as a sponsor with no 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.000 messy breakup. It could have been any reason. 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.120 But as you said, back then you only knew about the affiliate ripping, which isn't too bad, 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:30.600 especially for users. Yeah, exactly. It's really bad for creators. 00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:35.640 Yeah, it's really bad for creators. But it was also being plastered from the rooftops at that point in time. 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:41.080 Yeah, like, I don't know. Maybe Megaleg is living up to his name. 00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:45.280 It's like at that point in time, it's also like not really our story to break. 00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:49.080 Like if other people are already reporting on it and it's getting around a lot. 00:20:49.080 --> 00:20:57.360 Yeah. I think it's blowing up so much right now because of the downsides for users. 00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:01.080 Yeah, I could see that. Yeah. 00:21:01.080 --> 00:21:04.080 Yeah. So cool. Moving on. 00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:07.080 Yeah. Positive things. Yeah. 00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:12.080 Yeah. Can we do that? Do you want to talk about the column in Samir? 00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:15.080 Maybe 2024? Why don't we talk about RTX 5090? 00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:18.080 Oh, okay. Because we don't know the price yet. 00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:21.080 So we can still kind of have fun. Nice. 00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:26.080 And we could pretend that anyone will be able to afford an RTX 5090. 00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:29.080 Do you guys want to play pretend for a little bit? 00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:32.080 Sure. Okay, I would like that though. 00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:35.080 Cool. I still have both. Kidneys. 00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:38.080 So I'm good. Nice. Nice. 00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:41.080 Not for long. Damn. Yay. 00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:50.080 New images have leaked of a populated RTX 5090 PCB and it looks full. 00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.080 Oh my goodness. 00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:58.240 Wow. That is dense with two S's. 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:09.320 That is wild. So there's your allegedly, alleged 32 gigs of GDDR7 RAMs. 00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:14.240 There is all the VRMs and then there is all the rest of them. 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.240 Look at this thing. Do you have a comparison of the 4090? 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.240 Do you have both up? I don't. I don't have the 4090. 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.240 There's a link to it in the dark. Oh, is there a link in the dark? Oh, incredible. 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:29.840 Okay. And the 4090 was already a dense mama-jama because remember the whole like through 00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:32.840 PCB cooling thing. Yeah. 00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:39.520 Wow. So that's a 4090 credit to WCCF tech for posting that. 00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:43.440 I don't know if they're actually the original poster of it. 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:51.920 Oh, here's the blank one. I don't know what it is, but there is something about a blank unpopulated PCB with just all 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.960 the pads that just is like, yeah, right? 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:06.080 Like damn. Like damn. Like damn, damn, you know, like, damn, the ham. 00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:09.080 We're losing it today. Yeah. 00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:12.320 So I slept about three hours last night just so you have some idea. 00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:17.160 Like I'm, dude, I'm, I'm barely, I'm barely functional today. 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:24.160 So the, the, the rumors of the 5090 is that it has 21,760 CUDA cores compared to the 4090's 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.160 16,384. Pretty big jump. 00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:35.680 The memory goes up to 32 gigs, which you would have needed like, you know, beyond 4090 in 00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:43.280 the past to have. Which almost certainly means it has a 512 bit memory bus, which is, yeah, that combined 00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:52.680 with going to DDR7 is like, what 16 modules memory power stages 29 versus 4090 is 23 PCB 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:59.880 14 layers for the 4090's 12 and the MSRP probably too much for all of us. 00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:02.880 I don't know, dude. I don't know. Look at this. 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:08.520 Look at this. 1599 US. I see only three question marks. 00:24:08.520 --> 00:24:11.800 That to me indicates, indicates, and they might have typoed. 00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:16.480 We definitely, yeah. They might have forgotten a decimal. So we could be looking at a single dollar. 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.520 We could be looking at one, one dollar as low as one dollar, Luke. 00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:23.520 Very nice. As low as one dollar and zero cents. 00:24:23.520 --> 00:24:27.920 I think it could happen. I think it could happen. 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:32.320 Discussion question is, what is your max limit on price? Assuming performance is good compared to last year. 00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:40.960 OK, so here's the thing. I think I've talked about this a fair bit, but it bears repeating because NVIDIA waits 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:47.640 two to three years between releasing GPUs now. So some of you probably don't remember or weren't around for this. 00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:50.920 But when I saw the pricing of the 40 series. 00:24:51.040 --> 00:24:57.240 Yeah, I made a solemn oath. I swore that I would not upgrade to it. 00:24:58.120 --> 00:25:04.080 I have kept that promise. Yeah, my VR machine is still running a launch 3080. 00:25:04.520 --> 00:25:12.280 OK, OK. My personal rig is still running the 7900 XTX from the Radeon Challenge. 00:25:12.840 --> 00:25:17.240 And my like land machine in the land room is still running a 00:25:18.560 --> 00:25:23.120 it's a it's a 3080. Yeah, so it's an EVGA 3080. 00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:26.240 So is there a price point for this? No, I'm not done yet. I'm not done yet. 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.880 I have an eGPU for my ROG Flow X 13. 00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:36.360 3080. My entire life 3000 series. 00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:40.240 Enjoy your is 3000 series and below for NVIDIA. 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.440 Yeah. And then on the oh, yeah, technically, I have one more machine. 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.280 I have a little remember those little as rock like mini desktops. 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.680 I think so. Yeah. With that used in MXM module. Yes. OK. 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.680 So I have one of those in my family room upstairs for just like playing 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.960 casual games on the TV up up there. Sure. 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:01.080 1080 still still going strong. 00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:03.840 1080 gang represent. 00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:12.920 So I have no 40 series in my life. So with that said, I'm coming at this from an alternate angle. 00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:18.920 I have a different perspective on the 50 series because I've seen a lot 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.360 of people like flip the math out going, well, this isn't worth it as an upgrade. 00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:32.880 They're asking way too much money. But my upgrade is from a 3080 class card or a 7900, which is which is not 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.160 on par with the 4090. It's more on par with like a 3090 TI. 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.440 Yeah. Right. If we're being honest, if we're being honest, especially 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:46.440 if you want to look at Raytrace games, then it can even fall down below that. And Raytracing is now mandatory in some titles. 00:26:46.800 --> 00:26:50.480 Yes. No, that's true. It's not Tomb Raider or not Tomb Raider. 00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:53.880 Well, Guy Tomb Raider. Yeah. Nostalgia Tomb Raider. 00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:55.920 Anywhere we go. Yeah. 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.960 Donates to a museum Tomb Raider. Great looking game, by the way. 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.440 Have you played? I have not. Great circle. Yeah. Oh, OK. Oh, my. It's so beautiful. 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:11.160 Nice. It looks incredible. Worth the requirement. Well, that more complicated discussion. 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.560 No more spicy takes. More complicated discussion. Yeah. 00:27:15.560 --> 00:27:18.920 So my upgrade is much greater. 00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:25.960 And my amenability to spending way too much money is much higher 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:31.200 because I got three good years. Skipped a gen out of my 3080. OK. 00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:34.520 So they're still a limit. 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.320 I'm afraid to say anything because I really want one. 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:49.040 And if I say something. And you want a 4090. If I say if I say, guys, if it's over this price, 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.560 then I'm going to skip this generation and still be on 3000. 00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:57.400 Then I'm going to be stuck on 3000 for another like five years, more years, five total years. 00:27:57.520 --> 00:28:02.520 Yeah. And then six and then 6090. Nice. Is going to arrive. 00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:05.880 And it's going to be like four thousand dollars. 00:28:06.120 --> 00:28:10.480 And I'm going to be like, and if it's over $3,800, I'm not buying. 00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:12.720 And I'm going to be running a 3080 forever. 00:28:14.080 --> 00:28:17.840 Oh, man, maybe, maybe at that point, 00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:21.320 NVIDIA or Intel will be so good that you'll be fine. 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.240 That's a lot of years from now. Intel thousand series. 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.560 Massive respect to what Intel has done with arc battle. 00:28:29.560 --> 00:28:33.160 Got a lot of work. Massive, massive respect. 00:28:33.320 --> 00:28:36.960 And and and they're catching up to NVIDIA 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.880 in the ways that I think matter more for the future. 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.800 That makes sense. So they're they're they're still when we look at die size to die size comparisons, 00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:51.720 they're behind on raster. When we look at performance per watt, dude, they're behind. 00:28:52.280 --> 00:28:55.640 But when we look at what Intel is doing on the software side, 00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.840 their driver team is doing the work on the tech side. 00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.880 Their performance, even though the support for it's not great yet. 00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:06.680 Good. Yeah. They're ray tracing performance. Good. They're very forward thinking. 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.280 Yes. Yes. So so all that's great. 00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:13.800 But let's face it. They are not going to have a 50 90 competitor. 00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:18.840 They may not have a 60 90 competitor. They just got to release an SLI competitor. 00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:23.240 All right, enough. And then it just put like four of them in. Although let them virtualize them. 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:28.400 We do need a reason for PCIe gen six. Like, yeah, let's do it. 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:33.000 OK, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I think for I think at mainstream price points, 00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:36.840 I hope Intel is going to just crush it. 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:42.760 Just give us a give us a. We'll see how rough 50 60 coming out is. 00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:50.600 OK, whatever that happens. The the price I've seen rumored is two grand US. 00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:57.720 Yeah, that's the price that I've seen rumored. 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.680 But that goes back far. Like I haven't seen I I intentionally don't really follow the rumors 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.000 that closely in the lead up to a product launch, because realistically, 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.280 I'm going to get briefed on it anyway. And that will be the real information anyway. 00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:14.360 Right now, isn't that like twenty eight hundred cat? Yeah, more. 00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:17.520 It's it's probably more like twenty nine hundred Canadian dollars. 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.960 Yeah, two thousand years to get a cat. 00:30:20.840 --> 00:30:24.200 And I think what? Oh, yeah, twenty eight eighty four. What's median? 00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.040 What's median income these days? Like thirty eight thousand or something like that? 00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:32.720 Median income, Canadian. Oh, my goodness. 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.520 Oh, wait, is this household? Median income, hold on. 00:30:39.080 --> 00:30:44.840 Median income was forty one thousand seven hundred in twenty twenty two. 00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:54.080 Yeah, so here's my source. Wowwood.ca I have no idea how I have no idea how accurate that is or anything. 00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:58.400 But like we are basically we are basically looking at like a tenth 00:30:59.040 --> 00:31:02.240 of your take home by the time you actually like get taxed on that and stuff. 00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:05.760 Yeah, the tariffs, guys, the tariffs wouldn't be from China. 00:31:05.760 --> 00:31:09.400 They'd be from Taiwan, which ones? 00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:15.600 People are like, oh, you have to factor in tariffs now. No, you we could end up I doubt it. 00:31:16.520 --> 00:31:23.160 But that would only be for the states anyway. For Canada, I doubt that we would be paying any kind of import tariffs 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.880 on Chinese exported GPUs. They're going to start smuggling GPUs over the board. 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.160 Yeah, the GPUs themselves are made in Taiwan, but a lot of the card assembly is done in China. 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.320 So the finished GPU would probably be subject to any Chinese tariffs. 00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:40.080 But but that's all speculative until after January sometime. 00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:44.640 So for the sake of discussion. 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:50.280 Yeah, two. Fauzo, USD. 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.840 That's too much. I'm going to do it. What if it's twenty two hundred? 00:31:57.840 --> 00:32:01.880 Stop what? I'm not going to let you pin me down on this. 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.920 I'm not going to know. I'm not going to commit to anything. 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:09.840 I'm not going to commit to anything. Is there you don't have to vocalize it? 00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:14.680 Is there a limit? You don't have to tell anyone just in case you want to get out of it or whatever. 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:18.160 Is there a point where you would be there? A soft limit right now? 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.160 I don't want to open my wall because you're going to like for a context. 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.360 He's not going to buy one. No, no, I will. 00:32:24.360 --> 00:32:28.120 I'll buy one. OK, look, if I'm going to say 00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:33.880 I accept this madness, I can't just I can't just use my influencer clout 00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:38.440 to be like to someone one. I don't I don't think that's right 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.920 because I took a principled stand on forty series. I was like, this is too expensive. 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:47.040 I won't even use it. If I'm going to break that, I think I have to pay for it. 00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:50.320 Going from sixteen hundred to two grand in one generation 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:56.440 doesn't deserve a principled stand. Luke, what GPU do you run? 00:32:58.320 --> 00:33:02.280 I don't want to talk about it. What is it? I know what it is. 00:33:02.280 --> 00:33:05.920 It's pretty good. Yeah, what is it? It's pretty good. Well, if you want to see it, 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:11.040 you should check out the the line of sectors video on Bulbasaur. 00:33:11.040 --> 00:33:16.880 See, I have no problem. I have no problem. I have no problem gifting, you know, a forty series to someone. 00:33:17.040 --> 00:33:22.400 That's that's no problem. I didn't need to get involved. I just wouldn't. Yeah, I just wouldn't buy one. 00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:29.560 I just I wouldn't I wouldn't buy a forty series. And so because I didn't want to hack and just request one then, 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:35.520 I was like, I didn't use them. Yeah, he actually didn't. 00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:39.000 I mean, he did hint to someone. Oh, I thought you were bringing up the video. He was. It was. 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.920 I just didn't know you were doing that. Let me bring it back. He did hint to someone that he kind of wanted an upgrade or something. 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:49.120 I think. Or maybe. No, I'm actually excited. I think it was Jake's idea. 00:33:49.120 --> 00:33:54.560 Anyway, let me make let me make at risk of being called 00:33:54.560 --> 00:33:58.080 an advocate for the devil himself. 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.600 Let me make an argument for my two thousand dollar GPU. 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.400 OK, OK, I'm going to find something. 00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:12.040 Because to be fair, that's like really close 00:34:12.040 --> 00:34:14.320 to the current cost of my current car. 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:21.160 Yeah, I used to talk about, like, you know, the first car that I bought as a as a scale for computer parts. 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.040 Now it has to be the one that I drove here today. 00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:29.160 Yeah, which is crazy. 00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.240 You can you can buy something that literally gets you from A to B 00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:39.040 instead of something that like digitally gets you from A to B. 00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:44.400 When I was growing up. A computer set up at Future Shop. 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.960 OK, OK. Hold on. 00:34:48.200 --> 00:34:50.760 So you know where I'm going with this, but hold on. 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:55.600 A computer set up from Future Shop would have probably cost you somewhere in the neighborhood 00:34:55.600 --> 00:34:59.120 of twenty five hundred to forty four hundred dollars. 00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:04.320 OK, right. That was in like nineteen ninety eight dollars. 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:11.000 And they could have easily gone more like easily. You could spend five grand on on a computer 00:35:11.040 --> 00:35:13.400 on a on a personal computer as they called them back then. 00:35:15.120 --> 00:35:18.440 I would make the argument that like TVs. 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:24.000 PCs, in spite of some of the utter craziness 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.560 of the last few years, have actually beaten inflation. 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:33.640 You can still get for like four thousand dollars. 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.960 A computer tower and the fact that it can contain 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:42.720 something as powerful as a forty ninety actually kind of impressive. 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:50.840 Kind of cool. It is not that wild to spend three, four, five grand on a PC 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:54.560 once every five to six years. It's pretty wild. 00:35:54.560 --> 00:35:59.520 And but but it's not it's not it's also not wild. 00:35:59.520 --> 00:36:03.200 Like it's it's a thing that when I grew up was normal. Every family. 00:36:03.200 --> 00:36:06.200 But when tech scales, you don't have to keep spending the same amount. 00:36:06.200 --> 00:36:11.960 No, you don't. But you also can. And you can get you can get a PC that is vastly more powerful 00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:17.280 than that nineteen ninety eight machine for five hundred bucks. Yeah. So you absolutely don't have to. 00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:24.360 But I also think cell phone. I also think that for something that is that is a purchase that you will use 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:28.960 for an extended period of time and that you will get much, much, much, much, 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.960 much use out of it is not entirely unreasonable. 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:37.000 I don't know if you're going to get that much use out of it. 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.840 Yeah, that's fair. I don't I don't really get to gain that much. 00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:44.520 It does. I feel like it's like, however, on your ally, however. 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:51.400 Which of us is further into our play through of the Pixel remaster of Final 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.120 Fantasy six, you or me? Wait, are you playing it? 00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:58.360 It's on sale. I picked it up. Oh, no, he's going to be. 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.680 I said I was going to play this week that I had actually a very busy week. 00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:07.560 No time speaking of my ally. 00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:11.840 Oh, boy. Where are you at? Well, let's just see. 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:17.280 Why don't we just see if you recognize where I am? Because part of the problem is that he quote unquote doesn't have any time 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.880 to play games, but then you'll see him jump on a game on steam at like midnight. 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.640 And it's like, oh, I wonder what he's doing. But then you know, it's not on his computer 00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:29.000 that he would have spent all these thousands of dollars on. I could stream it. 00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:33.120 Wrecked on the ally. Yeah, of course. 00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:39.720 Is there a camera on the. What? No, no, no, no, not that kind of streaming. You're just going to like, oh, like I could. 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:44.600 Would you stream the pixel remaster? So I could get like 9000 FPS. 00:37:44.600 --> 00:37:48.280 Who cares? Don't worry about it. OK, so here's what we're going to do. 00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.720 Here's what we're going to play a little game called. Do I know where you are? 00:37:51.720 --> 00:37:55.640 Do you recognize where I am? No. All right. 00:37:57.720 --> 00:38:00.160 So you've had it for like a couple days. QED. 00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:05.800 All right, well, you're going on a trip. Are you going to play it on your trip? Yep. 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:11.760 Turn it. Where are you at? Are you still at the Imperial Magitech facility? 00:38:12.080 --> 00:38:16.720 No, I'm past that. You passed that. Yeah. Oh, OK. Are you at the sealed gate? 00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.920 Past that, I believe. So you've had the banquet. 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.880 No, OK. So you're probably somewhere, 00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:31.360 somewhere in that neighborhood. Yeah. OK. Well, I'm not going to spoil anything. 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.320 Not going to spoil anything. 00:38:34.720 --> 00:38:39.400 I will say, though, that if I feel like treating myself to a nice gaming PC, 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:44.480 I think that unlike some people, I can complete a game in a year. 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:49.080 So I should be entitled to do that. I wanted to do it this holiday season. 00:38:49.080 --> 00:38:52.520 I was so ready for you to tell me I don't game. I was so ready. Yeah. 00:38:52.520 --> 00:38:57.720 I my brother spun up a family holiday Valheim server. 00:38:58.200 --> 00:39:01.560 So we've been playing as my brother and my dad. That's pretty cool. 00:39:01.560 --> 00:39:06.360 So that took the time that I thought I was going to spend playing Final Fantasy 6. 00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.680 That's pretty cool, though. That seemed fair. I respect it. I respect it. I'm still going to try it. 00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:13.920 Now that I know you're on the on the track, I'm still going to try to get it out. 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:18.320 All right. Get it finished pretty quick. All right, let's go. Let's go. I've I've spent a lot of time 00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.680 like dinking around doing stuff I totally don't need to do. I will say this, though. 00:39:21.680 --> 00:39:26.160 The Pixel remaster is easy. Oh, oh, dude. 00:39:26.160 --> 00:39:31.080 That makes sense. It is so easy because I've I've heard you talk 00:39:31.080 --> 00:39:34.800 and I've heard a lot of other people talk about like needing to grind a bunch and stuff 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.120 and and certain fights that you're like, oh, this is really hard. And then I wouldn't did it. 00:39:38.120 --> 00:39:43.320 It was like, I don't think I did anything special. Dude, it's like it's like a joke. 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.600 OK, so they difficulty tuned it. Laughably easy. OK. 00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:53.760 Well, it's not just like it's not just difficulty tuned. It's like certain things were broken in the original game. 00:39:54.040 --> 00:39:56.680 The evade stat literally didn't work. OK. 00:39:57.680 --> 00:40:00.480 So you like always got hit 00:40:01.160 --> 00:40:07.040 but would miss a lot and it was real real frustrate also the ability to 00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:10.480 to just turn off random encounters while you find your way through something. 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:15.360 Like I didn't do that. I to this day didn't realize 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.960 how small some of the dungeons were because when you're getting into so much 00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:22.720 random encounter every three steps, they feel. 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.520 Huge. Yeah, they feel enormous like you could never navigate them. 00:40:28.520 --> 00:40:31.680 That almost feels like some of the difficulty sometimes 00:40:31.680 --> 00:40:34.760 is the like time between potential rest areas. 00:40:35.520 --> 00:40:39.040 So being able to turn that off. Oh, dude, and the way the saving works, 00:40:39.040 --> 00:40:43.640 it has like quicksave. Yeah. Oh, dude. The game didn't have quicksave. 00:40:43.640 --> 00:40:48.600 You went back to the last like star. Those stars were like, 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:54.920 there'd be one more random encounter before I get there. Like it was a huge deal. 00:40:56.160 --> 00:41:01.840 And like, dude, the map I've definitely been using the map marks the Chocobo stables. 00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:08.320 Yeah, those were on the map. Well, aren't they in the player? 00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:12.080 Oh, OK, I don't think so. Hold on. Hold on. 00:41:12.080 --> 00:41:16.120 Final Fantasy III included map North America. 00:41:16.120 --> 00:41:22.360 I don't think so, though. Like you definitely would have been able to get here. 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:27.640 Here's one. You definitely would have been able to get like a like a strategy guide or whatever. 00:41:28.040 --> 00:41:33.080 Back in the day. Yeah. But no. Yeah. 00:41:33.080 --> 00:41:38.880 So like so traversing ground was like tough. 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.520 Yeah, if you didn't like have a friend who knew where they were 00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:46.800 or whatever, right? Like it was I didn't turn off random encounters. 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:51.440 I have never bought a Chocobo. Oh, you don't you don't have to buy them or rent it or whatever. 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:54.520 Oh, oh, OK. Yeah. OK, you definitely. 00:41:54.520 --> 00:41:57.120 Oh, being a dude being able to walk diagonally. 00:41:58.120 --> 00:42:04.960 I do. I do that. Huge. Yeah. Huge, because that's literally one step one and a half one step for two. 00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.800 Yeah. Oh, what's what's another big one? Oh, yeah, the fact that you have sprint shoes always equipped. 00:42:10.040 --> 00:42:13.120 You had to use a relic slot to be able to walk fast. 00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:17.560 And you couldn't walk fast outside of towns. Oh, yeah. 00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:21.320 So like hiking was tedious. 00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:24.360 Like there's there's a lot that they've done to make. 00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:29.600 Oh, the explanations for like what equipment does and what espers do and stuff has been. 00:42:29.600 --> 00:42:32.720 I find some of that to still be weird has been upgraded. 00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:35.400 But the interface for equipping espers is actually worse. 00:42:35.720 --> 00:42:42.840 I did it once and couldn't find it again. The next time I went to play the OG interface is so much better. 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.320 Actually, for espers and seeing seeing all the spells they teach 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:50.280 and also the the level up stat boosts that they give you. 00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:55.680 Now, part of why it's comically easy for me is that I'm obsessively going in 00:42:55.680 --> 00:42:59.680 after every random encounter and like fine tuning which espers are on my guys 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.080 so that I make sure that I get the best like level up stats. Oh, I'm definitely not doing that. 00:43:04.080 --> 00:43:07.920 Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that because it makes the game like comically easy. 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:12.680 It also doesn't feel necessary to be honest. Anyway, back to never lost. 00:43:12.680 --> 00:43:17.320 Really? Yeah. Oh, I've still I've still managed to lose some. But it might just be because I'm like clowning around. 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:23.000 Maybe you'll you'll lose some stuff. I'm sure you'll definitely be very close a few times. 00:43:23.120 --> 00:43:27.000 There was one of the like, I think it was more of a mini boss and a natural boss. 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.880 But I don't know if my scaling was weird for that fight or something. But I found it very hard. 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:34.680 I went down to one person at one point, but was able to bring people back up. 00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:38.840 Are you are you are you leveling up all of your characters? 00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:41.880 Or do you just have like one main party or four that you just are going with? 00:43:43.520 --> 00:43:46.640 There's a couple people that I really try to always have there. 00:43:46.640 --> 00:43:52.000 But other than that, I'm mostly trying to cycle a little bit. Oh, another big one is Sabin's blitzes. 00:43:52.520 --> 00:43:55.120 Like you had to enter them without any indicator. 00:43:56.240 --> 00:44:01.800 So you just like wouldn't find out until he went to execute the action 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:06.760 and it'd be like, yeah, you input it wrong. And so he does this thing, he'd go forward and his eyes would flash 00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.680 like he's about to do it. And it would just say incorrect blitz input and he'd go back. 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.880 Also, Kyane, you know how you just like pick whatever 00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:16.880 sword technique you want to use? Yes. He had a timer. 00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:23.280 So you had to wait. And if you played like me with active turn battle, 00:44:23.640 --> 00:44:26.840 so like everything's happening in real time while you're sitting in the menus, 00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:30.600 if you're waiting for like Quadroslam for his fourth, 00:44:31.200 --> 00:44:34.280 you're like waiting and getting like creamed. 00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:41.000 Yeah. So there were there were some big, big difficulty differences. 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:46.960 Yeah, like Sabin's in my party all the time. Yeah, I think he's my my like main, I guess. 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:52.400 But most other people swap out a little bit. He was he was less reliable in the original version, 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:56.480 unless you were like really good at the inputs. I think I've only ever missed one because it displays it. 00:44:56.480 --> 00:45:01.960 Yeah, it shows you. You can't screw it up. I was like, oh, yeah, I only missed one because I just like fat fingered a button 00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.560 or something. I was like, oh, crap. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Yeah, that's about it. 00:45:05.560 --> 00:45:08.640 And sometimes you can get unlucky, like when the party split up 00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.680 and you recruit shadow. Yeah, you know about that. Yeah, there's a there's a random. 00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:17.920 There's an RMG and he can leave after the first item, leave after the first fight once. 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:22.960 Yeah, he's stuck with me for quite a while. And I was like, OK, that's cool. 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.120 I'm pretty neat and good game. 00:45:28.120 --> 00:45:34.320 Well designed to be nice to be. Yeah, if that started after like at least a few fights or something. 00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:39.960 Yeah, also, because I've played the game before, I know when to like unequip guys because they're going to like leave. 00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.600 So I've gotten wrecked by that a couple of times. We're like a lot of really good things going to one person. 00:45:45.640 --> 00:45:50.080 They piece for like a while. OK, yeah, it's pretty now when they come back, 00:45:50.080 --> 00:45:53.880 those things aren't very good anymore. Yeah. And the cell rates is pretty rough. 00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:57.920 I don't actually know what it is, but it's pretty rough. So 50 90. Right. 00:45:58.080 --> 00:46:02.800 I'm going to buy one to play Fonofasty 6 on your ally to play whatever to play. 00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:07.520 To play whatever I want to play to play. Anno released five years ago on your PC. 00:46:07.520 --> 00:46:12.160 Dude, I just got a 4K to 40 Hertz, 27 inch. 00:46:13.160 --> 00:46:17.280 It supports DP one point two point one. 00:46:17.640 --> 00:46:20.040 Wait, I didn't get anything. 00:46:23.080 --> 00:46:28.960 I'm not talking about anything. But if you did get something in the future, then there'd be a video about it for sure. 00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:33.560 And you'd want to make sure that you had something powerful to run it, I guess. Yes, just in case. 00:46:33.560 --> 00:46:37.400 Because of those potential resolution and frame rates, that would be really tough. 00:46:37.600 --> 00:46:42.360 Just. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't say who it's from. Yeah, that's true, actually. Yeah. 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.480 Yeah, that helps quite a bit. 00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:51.480 Cool. Anyway, apparently it's got a single 12 volt two by six power connector, 00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:56.960 which replaces 12 volt high power. Shorter sensor pins, longer conductor terminals. 00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:00.680 OK, or hear me out NVIDIA. 00:47:00.680 --> 00:47:03.800 PCI-E8 pin. Just put a bunch of them on like we used to. 00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:07.520 You know what? Forget it. Actually, it's a bad idea. All right. What are we supposed to be talking about? 00:47:07.520 --> 00:47:13.600 Explain merch messages. Yes, a few of you have found them already, I assume. 00:47:13.600 --> 00:47:16.800 Dan, how's the merch messages going over there? They're pretty good. 00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:20.080 I'm keeping up just fine. Really? OK. 00:47:20.080 --> 00:47:25.120 Well, we haven't really talked for anyone who doesn't know about it yet, 00:47:25.520 --> 00:47:29.240 about the deal we have running on the all new computer backpack. 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:33.440 It's here. Let's go. Yeah. You've looked at it already, right? 00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:37.720 I have one. Oh, you have one. How do you like it? It's very nice. 00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:41.000 I immediately I traditionally walked around with the power connector 00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:46.040 and laptop just like loose around work. And now it's my like my work backpack, which is nice. 00:47:46.240 --> 00:47:49.960 Let's go. This is it, folks. The commuter bag. 00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:53.200 It is selling like billio. 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:57.680 People are absolutely loving this thing. I've got a fully loaded one here. 00:47:57.680 --> 00:48:03.200 We're going to switch to the Linus. OK, maybe you're going to have to adjust this at some point 00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:06.160 because I just hit my mic. 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:11.960 Yeah, holding it on this side with the mic is very challenging. Anyway, it's got two water bottle holders. 00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:15.800 They are the same size, both of them. No, it's OK. 00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:20.920 We have two water bottle holders so you can use one for your umbrella, one for your water bottle, 00:48:21.040 --> 00:48:24.520 whatever you like. We've got our pouch of holding. 00:48:24.520 --> 00:48:27.800 Oh, my goodness, I'm dying. Are you sure you don't want me to hold it? 00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:32.560 Yeah, I'd be fine. But I got some tennis elbow, so my ARM is in a lot of pain. 00:48:32.560 --> 00:48:35.280 OK, yeah, yeah, if you just wanted to finish on doing the zipper, 00:48:35.600 --> 00:48:39.320 that'd be great. There we go. So it comes all the way down. 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.680 Put your mouse in there, put your tech sack in there, put your notepad in there, your SSD in there, your pen, 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:49.240 your screwdriver, of course, with our classic zippered screwdriver pocket. 00:48:49.240 --> 00:48:53.360 In case you drop a bit or something like that in the bottom, we want to make sure you guys are able to get that out. 00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:58.440 We've got a sunglass holder in the top. Sunglass pouch right in there. 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:03.120 Get your get your sunglasses in there. And then, of course, it's tech forward, 00:49:03.640 --> 00:49:06.760 zips all the way down so you can reach all your good stuff 00:49:07.200 --> 00:49:11.560 with two spots for battery banks or even gigantic power bricks 00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:15.720 and cables and then a tablet slot, as well as a laptop slot. 00:49:15.720 --> 00:49:22.680 And there's another zippered pouch there. Oh, and the best part and the part that has got people losing their minds 00:49:22.680 --> 00:49:27.040 is I saw a lot of pricing speculation with people saying like one fifty, one fifty. 00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:31.440 That'd be like that'd be like sick. One fifty would be great, but I'm afraid to hope for it 00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.800 because this is all the same quality materials as the original bag. 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:39.760 YKK zippers, reprieve fabric, made of recycled water bottles, all that good stuff. 00:49:42.520 --> 00:49:46.880 But we did it one fifty and for a limited time only. 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.000 And I really do mean limited time only. It is thirty dollars off. 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:54.040 It is one twenty if you buy it through YouTube shopping. 00:49:55.240 --> 00:49:59.720 Oh, I just want to give you guys a little update here. 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.320 To do to do to do. Hold on, I'm just going to refresh the thing. 00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:10.720 So I already told people on the WAN Show before someone says I missed the YouTube deal. 00:50:10.720 --> 00:50:14.840 Sad. No, you didn't. The YouTube deal is active. It's active now. 00:50:16.560 --> 00:50:22.280 I told you guys before it's limited to seventeen hundred units so far. 00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.520 And Luke can verify this because apparently I'm a I'm a big liar in a scumbag. 00:50:27.720 --> 00:50:30.560 If you believe all of the recent scandals or whatever. 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.000 We're at twelve thousand six hundred and thirty five units. 00:50:37.720 --> 00:50:44.320 So we still have what does that work out to forty four hundred units at the discounted price. 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:51.440 It is possible. It is possible that they will not make it through the weekend. 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.080 So if you guys want to pick one up, the discount is through YouTube shopping. 00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:03.160 What? Those numbers make no sense. Seventeen thousand. We have seventeen thousand. 00:51:03.160 --> 00:51:07.440 So I said seventeen hundred. My bad. Well, I mean, I'm a big liar, so that's probably it. 00:51:09.080 --> 00:51:12.280 So we have we have forty four hundred more discounts. 00:51:12.680 --> 00:51:16.720 You buy it through YouTube shopping, which Dan, is it set up on WAN Show today? 00:51:16.720 --> 00:51:22.040 It should be pinned. I've seen some stuff that you might have to disable ad blocker for it to show up 00:51:22.040 --> 00:51:25.800 if you are using one. That makes sense. One thing that I'm finding as well. 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.320 So you have to you have to click on the little product. OK, so I'll go to my laptop. 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:37.520 You have to click on this thing. And then when it goes to the store, it's not going to show the discount immediately. 00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:41.680 So you have to add it to your cart. It shows the full price. 00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:45.400 You have to add it to because it's YouTube's discount. Whatever you have to add it to your cart. 00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:50.840 And then in your cart, you'll see it. Boom. Someone says WTF not on Floatplane. 00:51:51.120 --> 00:51:55.720 That's because the money, the thirty dollars from YouTube is not from us. 00:51:56.080 --> 00:52:01.640 Yeah. So when your payment goes through, YouTube kicks in thirty dollars. 00:52:01.640 --> 00:52:10.680 We are getting one hundred and fifty dollars. But to promote YouTube shopping, Google is is sort of co launching this product 00:52:10.680 --> 00:52:14.640 with us in extremely, extremely generous offer. 00:52:15.640 --> 00:52:21.480 We would be charging one forty nine ninety nine. And we're going to keep selling this backpack for years at one forty nine ninety nine. 00:52:22.160 --> 00:52:26.920 And based on the reactions that people had to the original price when we announced it, 00:52:27.600 --> 00:52:33.080 that that's going to do great. And it's going to go gangbusters for us, for everyone who doesn't see this message right now. 00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:37.040 But Google is pitching in thirty US dollars. 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:43.680 So you could see that. Oh, I will not talk in any more detail about anything. 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:51.280 Cool. Anyway, buy it through YouTube shopping one nineteen ninety nine. 00:52:51.720 --> 00:52:55.920 I don't know. I don't know. I got like four messages from he just says stop talking. 00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.240 So I'm good. It's technically one twenty point zero zero. 00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:07.040 Got him. Linus is liar again. Yeah, confirmed, confirmed, unethical. 00:53:08.720 --> 00:53:12.440 Are you hiding the rest of the zeros from us? Free the floats. 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.720 Anyhow, anyway, the point is we love YouTube shopping. 00:53:18.640 --> 00:53:22.520 And we love our Google overlords. I don't think they love us right now. 00:53:22.520 --> 00:53:23.880 I don't know. Maybe they won't notice. 00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:29.200 OK, well, that's a merge message. Would you like me to read you one before you do the. 00:53:29.200 --> 00:53:34.400 Oh, yeah, we should explain merge messages. So while you're checking out on the store, you can leave a merge message. 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:37.840 If you just put something in your cart, you'll get a little box. Hey, there you go. 00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:43.400 And you can send a merge message. Producer Dan, who looks like this and is in the dark today. 00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:47.840 OK, we couldn't afford power over Christmas. 00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:53.960 Christmas was we had too many Christmas lights running. We couldn't afford any lights for Dan like dried up. 00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:56.800 Anyway, it'll go to producer Dan will pop your message up here 00:53:57.040 --> 00:54:03.040 or give you a response or curate it for me and Luke to respond to on the show. 00:54:03.040 --> 00:54:10.800 Dan, do you want to show us how it works? Sure. Hi, LDL looking at where Luke is today. 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:13.080 What do you guys think about lying on your resume? 00:54:14.640 --> 00:54:18.320 I'm looking for a new job and want to know what you guys think. Keep up the good work. 00:54:19.040 --> 00:54:26.800 Well, being an unethical liar, I would say, lie as hard as you can as much as you can. 00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:33.680 I wouldn't advise it by the time Luke, first of all, Luke. 00:54:34.720 --> 00:54:37.920 Faked it till he made it. Yeah, that part's pretty important. 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:42.960 He did manage to successfully perform the job functions as expected, 00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:46.560 even though he did not have the experience that he claimed to have. 00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:51.360 When he came into it, he figured it out. So you're going to have to be ready to do that. 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:55.360 And by the time he got busted or rather admitted it to me, 00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:59.360 it was in an as friends conversation as friends. 00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:04.960 And I was like, oh, you also, this is far from the worst you've done at this point. 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:06.960 So I'm going to... 00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:18.880 That sounds about right. Sounds about right. It's not a good way to kick off a relationship, though. 00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:24.320 And I wouldn't advise you to try it. Yeah, yeah. 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:31.040 Oh, man. Yeah. I've also, like, I've had a not insignificant amount. 00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:35.200 I kind of wish I never said it on camera, not because I don't mind owning it, 00:55:35.200 --> 00:55:41.120 but because people have, like, taken it as like, uh-huh-huh, I'll do this to him and it'll be funny. 00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:44.560 Oh, that serves you right. And I've caught a bunch of people doing it, 00:55:44.560 --> 00:55:48.320 and then I'm like, well, I can't, like, this isn't... That doesn't work. 00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:54.240 Yeah, if you get... So it's one of those things where it's like, big bet, big reward, big downside. 00:55:54.240 --> 00:55:57.440 Yeah. Right? Bet big, you either win big or lose big. 00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:01.200 Because if we don't catch you, maybe you get the job. 00:56:01.200 --> 00:56:05.680 If we catch you, you will almost certainly be removed from any consideration. 00:56:05.680 --> 00:56:10.800 Yeah, and a lot of the positions have, like, and technically the one that I did had a form of testing as well, 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:14.160 but a lot of the positions here have some form of testing, 00:56:14.160 --> 00:56:20.320 or, like, a trial period or something like that. Yeah, my interview process for him was a three-hour vibe check, so... 00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:21.680 And we filmed something. 00:56:24.080 --> 00:56:27.440 In fairness, filming stuff back then was as simple as, like... Oh, yeah. 00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.960 Can you make sure that the correct object is visible in the... 00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:35.360 So just do this. Dude, with that said, though, you'd be surprised at how many people f*** that up. 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:41.600 They just couldn't. They just, like, couldn't. I'd be like, because, like, for you, it's obvious, right? 00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:46.000 If I'm like, you know, Google's had an amazing year this year. 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:51.280 They've come out with this, and they've come out with that, and what I really want to show you is this. 00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:58.160 And I look at... Okay, so to him, that's obvious. You wouldn't believe the number of people who just stayed on me. 00:56:58.160 --> 00:57:03.120 Well, I was literally not even looking in the lens, and I'm, like, talking about this thing in my hands, and I'm, like... 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:07.200 This, this, for the love of God, this. Because we... There was no second take back then. 00:57:07.200 --> 00:57:10.480 Yeah, yeah. Especially because a lot of it, legitimately, 00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:15.040 was taking the thing out of the box, and in many cases, that was breaking seals. 00:57:15.040 --> 00:57:20.720 So, like, there was no second take. Yeah. The little ZmbT says, Luke, Luke's problem was, 00:57:20.720 --> 00:57:23.040 he just focused the camera on the road. 00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.360 That's a good reference. Yeah, that's a quality reference. 00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:33.360 Yeah. Oh, man. 00:57:34.720 --> 00:57:37.920 Anyways, yeah, don't... Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:42.160 Yeah. Dear Duke... Oh, hold on, hold on. 00:57:42.160 --> 00:57:46.400 By East One says, there is no second take because there's only one tape. 00:57:47.120 --> 00:57:51.840 There were times we cheated. Oh, yeah. If something went catastrophically wrong, 00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:55.360 we would turn the box around. Yeah. And break the seal on the other side. 00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:58.880 For sure, yeah. It's just, you don't aim to do that. 00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.440 Yeah. That's supposed to be, like, a really, really, like, 00:58:03.600 --> 00:58:08.400 last solution-type situation. Do you want to show Lieutenant Beefy 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:13.120 where YouTube shop is really quick one more time? There's a few people that are having trouble finding it. 00:58:13.120 --> 00:58:16.320 If you are having trouble finding it, so it's on the six months ago I teased you 00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:19.360 with this LTT Store commuter backup video. Not a great still frame. 00:58:22.720 --> 00:58:26.400 If you're having trouble seeing this little block right here, 00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:30.000 it's probably something to do with ad blocking 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.240 or tracking blocking or something like that, some type of add-on you have, 00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:37.840 or potentially your browser, but you're probably running Chrome, so it's probably fine. 00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:41.840 Should be on this WAN Show as well. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. 00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:45.760 That's cool. Should be pinned in this WAN Show. I sure hope so. 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:49.920 Let's see. Let's see. 00:58:52.640 --> 00:58:55.840 There it is. Cool. Okay. So that's how you do it. 00:58:55.840 --> 00:59:00.640 And then that should bring you, yeah, right here. And then again, when you get to this page, 00:59:00.640 --> 00:59:03.920 it's not going to actually show it lower. You have to add it to your cart, 00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:06.960 and then in the cart, it will be discounted. 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:11.280 Cool beans. There you go. Okay. 00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:14.640 One more? Yeah, yeah, sure. Hit me with the merge message. 00:59:14.640 --> 00:59:18.160 Dear Duke and Dan, and vertically challenged superstar. 00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.640 Sorry, one sec. Some people are finding that it's 00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:29.680 geofence to a certain degree. So they have to VPN around to get it. 00:59:29.680 --> 00:59:32.000 I wonder if that is a YouTube thing, yeah. I don't know. 00:59:33.120 --> 00:59:37.600 Yeah, it could be limited. I don't know anything about that. It's a YouTube shopping promo. 00:59:37.600 --> 00:59:42.160 So we do not have any control over what regions 00:59:42.160 --> 00:59:48.560 YouTube shopping is able to operate in. And hey, it's still a great bag at 150. 00:59:48.560 --> 00:59:53.600 Yeah, yeah, true. Our notes say here, you may need to disable your ad blocker or VPN 00:59:53.600 --> 00:59:56.640 if you don't see the tagged product. So yeah, I think it is geofenced. 00:59:58.240 --> 00:59:59.680 Or enable your VPN. 01:00:02.480 --> 01:00:07.280 Pregnant! No, do we have a private internet access link? 01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.920 Coincidentally, Dan, if we have... 01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.640 P.I.A. It's a service that we've talked about a lot 01:00:14.640 --> 01:00:20.400 that I've used for many, many years now. Yeah. And you know, just sometimes you run into situations 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:24.080 where you need to access a thing as though the thing is from some other thing. 01:00:24.080 --> 01:00:27.440 I have no idea if it'll work on this. I legitimately don't know. 01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:33.760 Check if you're getting scammed on flight prices. Like I've run into times when even using a VPN 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.800 was not good enough. Like when I tried to buy a Valve Index, man, 01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:40.480 they got that locked. They had that locked down. 01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:43.520 I had to get someone from America 01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:46.240 with an American credit card from an American bank 01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:49.200 to buy that thing for me and send it up to me. 01:00:52.560 --> 01:00:56.480 God bless America. Have you ever had the scenario 01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:58.560 where you get cheaper flights worth? Yee-haw! 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.120 Southern Linus would actually be amazing. 01:01:06.560 --> 01:01:08.240 These gosh darn 4090s. 01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:16.000 I will take a stand. Anyways, have you had the flight prices thing work? 01:01:18.160 --> 01:01:21.760 I have. Okay, cool. I've had people tell me that's debunked. It's debunked. 01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:26.000 But I'm like, I don't know what to tell you. We literally did a video about it. I didn't know it was theoretically debunked or not. 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:29.520 I, there was recently, I thought it was working 01:01:29.520 --> 01:01:33.680 and then we figured out that it was Canadian versus USD but they didn't show any differentiation. 01:01:33.680 --> 01:01:35.520 Oh, interesting. Yeah. 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.880 Anyways. Southern Linus and the Luchs of Vaz. 01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:47.520 Okay, credit to PK7 and Floatplane Chat. That's pretty good. 10 out of 10. 01:01:47.520 --> 01:01:50.480 Nicely done. All right. 01:01:51.520 --> 01:01:54.800 Dan, why don't you hit us with one more? I'm trying. Oh wait, have you not done it yet? 01:01:54.800 --> 01:02:00.000 No. Well, get on with it, man. What is the jankiest solution or fix ever suggested 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:04.800 for something that everyone said no to and looking back how bad it would have really been? 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:11.040 Oh man. Everyone said no to. And it was worse than expected. 01:02:11.040 --> 01:02:12.240 Jankiest fix. 01:02:14.560 --> 01:02:18.640 Most of the terrible janky fix solutions, I've just done them. 01:02:18.640 --> 01:02:22.160 Yeah, and they mostly work. Yeah. Like I don't know if we've been, 01:02:22.160 --> 01:02:24.160 I don't know if we've been burned that badly. 01:02:26.720 --> 01:02:35.920 Like. Yeah, to be honest. Oh, the air fiber link between here and Creator Warehouse 01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:40.640 went out sometimes. But I think what we determined was the problem 01:02:40.640 --> 01:02:44.960 was that they were too close. No, they were too close to the roofs. 01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:48.480 Oh, was it that? I thought they were too close to each other. Oh, I mean. 01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:53.040 And they were designed for like a higher power might have changed, but I think there was some reflections 01:02:53.040 --> 01:02:58.160 for them being like they're supposed to be in a post. We like glue them to the ground. 01:02:58.160 --> 01:03:01.840 The swimming pool water cooling works though. Yeah, well it does now. 01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:05.600 After that fitting like corroded away and it leaked all over everything. 01:03:05.600 --> 01:03:08.720 I don't think that was like the concept. Yeah, it's also not that janky. 01:03:08.720 --> 01:03:11.920 It's actually pretty good. Yeah. And it's like a thing. 01:03:12.640 --> 01:03:17.680 Oh, the, oh, this one was funny. So the roof solar that's supposed to contribute 01:03:17.680 --> 01:03:21.600 to heating the pool, that one doesn't work at all. Because they filled it. 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:25.840 And I forgot that they told me they filled it, but they didn't glide call it. 01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:29.360 So last winter, everything blew up. 01:03:30.160 --> 01:03:34.160 And it has to be like completely replunged. And I haven't gotten around to it. 01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:37.680 Yeah. Yeah. So that one, that one was bad. Speaking of which, how's the bike going? 01:03:39.600 --> 01:03:42.800 Your bike is my Final Fantasy 6. I made progress. Oh, okay. 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:50.000 I made progress actually this while I was off. I reset up everything. 01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:53.040 I added a second intake fan. So I have better positive pressure. 01:03:53.040 --> 01:03:56.000 So I was getting a little bit of dust on some of the previous parts. Yeah. 01:03:56.800 --> 01:04:01.680 I remixed my primer, which had settled into water and mud, 01:04:01.680 --> 01:04:06.640 and took probably about 10, 15 minutes. So with the like the drill powered paint mixer 01:04:06.640 --> 01:04:14.320 to get to, to get going again, I redid my hangers 01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:18.160 for the wheels because the ones I was using before made them kind of hard to maneuver. 01:04:18.160 --> 01:04:24.000 So I made new ones out of like chopsticks and then aircraft wire and then like another chopstick 01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:27.600 so that instead of coming down like this, it comes down like this now. 01:04:27.600 --> 01:04:31.920 So it's a little bit easier to handle. More room. So no, I actually spent a few hours on it 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:36.000 over the last being off this week. Getting prepped. I'm getting it, I'm getting it going again. 01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:41.360 I got a space heater for the booth so that it won't get too low. I got that set up and made sure everything's good to go. 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:44.400 So I'm actually, I'm actually good to get going again. Nice. 01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:45.840 I got this. 01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:53.520 Do a stream where Linus paints his bike and Luke plays 5, 5, 6, first to finish wins. 01:04:55.200 --> 01:04:58.000 It's not a horrible idea. It's actually not a terrible idea. 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.920 I'd probably be pretty fun actually. I mean you guys just hang out in the shop together 01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:09.360 and you know, Luke plays it on an ally or something. Yeah, there's, there's, there's a lot of multi-content 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:13.600 style streaming that's happening these days. And like even just multi-content content, 01:05:13.600 --> 01:05:17.200 like you look at the shorts with like the, whatever racer thing going on 01:05:17.200 --> 01:05:20.960 while they talk about something else. Subway surfers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the problem though. 01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:24.160 These are projects that neither Luke nor I individually 01:05:25.120 --> 01:05:29.360 have managed to work on. Assuming that we are going to somehow align the stars 01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:33.200 so we can be in the same place at the same time doing it at the same time. 01:05:33.200 --> 01:05:36.640 I mean, yeah. Well, come on. 01:05:36.640 --> 01:05:39.600 Pause. Come on, man. Get your mind out of the gutter. 01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:43.040 Get your mind out of the gutter. It likes it there. 01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:45.920 It's comfortable, it's familiar. 01:05:52.080 --> 01:05:56.800 Oh man. I didn't actually watch the video. Did they cut out my, uh, did they cut out? 01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.840 All right. No, you never, never. If they cut it out, then I'll leave it cut out. 01:05:59.840 --> 01:06:01.600 Uh, okay. What are we supposed to be doing? 01:06:03.040 --> 01:06:03.360 Cool. 01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:12.880 Um. The, uh, the LTT commuter backpack announcement. 01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:16.000 Is that different than what we did for the merge messages call-out? 01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:21.680 I don't think so. Okay. They just have cute links. If you go to LMG.GG slash discount please, 01:06:22.320 --> 01:06:25.440 then, um, it will take you to the store. 01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:31.280 And then when you add it to the card, it'll automatically be applied. So if you're having trouble, LMG.GG slash discount please. 01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:35.200 That brings you to the YouTube video. Oh, cool. All right, see you later. 01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:42.640 Bad guy. And it's kind of however you want to spell it. Please, full word, PLZ, PLS, both of those words. 01:06:42.640 --> 01:06:48.640 It's a bad guy. All three of those words. Um, all right, um, I had a lot of fun hanging out with Colin Smear. 01:06:49.200 --> 01:06:52.320 Yeah. It was good. Yeah. The video went up. It's funny. 01:06:52.320 --> 01:07:00.880 They, um, I, I just, I, I, I felt like, I, I don't know. 01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:05.280 I felt like they did a really good job. They just kind of, man, the dossier they had on me. 01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:09.440 Yeah. I don't think that made it into the cut, but they had like, 01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:15.120 they had like a book this thick on me. It included everything from like, like, like AI summaries 01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:19.200 that were full of mistakes to like a printout of the Wikipedia, 01:07:19.200 --> 01:07:27.360 which I think might also have some mistakes on it. But they also had, um, like past sort of times I've addressed 01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:32.640 stuff or stories that I've told on like, when shows that they had all these like citations, like they had a whole, clearly 01:07:32.640 --> 01:07:36.560 they have someone who, or either they do it or someone on 01:07:36.560 --> 01:07:42.960 their team does it where they go through and they have like a whole, like, like background check process for guests on 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:47.920 their show, um, which makes me, it makes me all the more 01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:52.240 surprised that they decided to host me given how controversial I am. 01:07:52.240 --> 01:07:56.080 It was actually really interesting reading through, uh, both 01:07:56.080 --> 01:07:58.240 that and, uh, assumptions. 01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.880 Yeah. Reading through sort of like the audience questions. 01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:07.440 And then in the case of Colin and Samir, the questions beforehand 01:08:07.440 --> 01:08:10.480 compared to the comments on the video itself, like it's, 01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:14.800 I noticed that too. It is a stark difference. 01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:22.320 It really is. What the like terminal, terminally online commenters want to 01:08:22.320 --> 01:08:26.400 talk about versus what people who actually watch a video care 01:08:26.400 --> 01:08:30.160 about no relation to each other whatsoever. 01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:38.240 Um, anyway, it was, it was a lot of, it was a lot of fun. I was very surprised to see the final cut and that it was like 01:08:38.240 --> 01:08:41.760 two hours long because we only sat down for a little over two 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.280 hours. Like I don't, I don't think they ultimately cut that much out of 01:08:45.280 --> 01:08:49.360 it. I think, uh, Colton had asked to have a look at it, but I never 01:08:49.360 --> 01:08:52.560 had a look at the, at the cut before they, before they uploaded 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.760 it. Um, I skipped through parts of it. 01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:59.360 I haven't, it's obviously it's long. I don't think you need to watch it. 01:08:59.360 --> 01:09:03.440 Like you, you literally watch, you live through, you survive 01:09:04.240 --> 01:09:09.440 so I keep changing the language here to better reflect the situation, the WAN Show every week. 01:09:09.440 --> 01:09:15.040 So I, I don't think you need to, yeah. And you were, you were there for a lot of the stories that I 01:09:15.040 --> 01:09:18.160 was telling. So there really isn't, I don't think I just wanted to see 01:09:18.160 --> 01:09:21.360 like what the vibe was basically that that was all I was 01:09:21.360 --> 01:09:24.960 really doing. And it, it seemed pretty good. I didn't sleep well the night before. 01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:28.400 I'll tell you that much. You seemed fairly relaxed though. 01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:35.440 I was trying to be. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's like, um, like I thought, I thought that was pretty good. 01:09:36.080 --> 01:09:41.040 Like we, we, we wanted a chance to, to kind of talk to an 01:09:41.040 --> 01:09:46.320 audience other than just our own audience. That's why we, that's why we went down and, uh, you know, 01:09:46.320 --> 01:09:49.760 did it in their studio and why we went down and did assumptions as well. 01:09:50.320 --> 01:09:53.920 Um, I think that, you know, for, for a while I've been a 01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:58.960 bit of a shut-in. Like there's been some exceptions lately. We've done some, some fun collabs like with Mighty 01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:05.040 Car mods, uh, but like I've never really done like the, the 01:10:05.040 --> 01:10:10.320 interview circuit or anything like that. Like it was very, you know, generous of Ludwig to 01:10:10.320 --> 01:10:13.760 invite me to the yard, but I've never really gone out and 01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:17.360 been like, Hey, do you need a guest for your show before that I can remember? 01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:20.640 Um, and, uh, it was fun. 01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:27.840 Actually. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun. It was cool to see how many people in our audience caught 01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.480 that the collab was coming when we shot our arc battle mage video in their studio. 01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:37.840 Oh. Yeah. Cause like their audience obviously knew cause they posted 01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:42.240 ahead of time. Hey, do you have any questions for Linus? Which by the way, as far as I can tell, they completely 01:10:42.240 --> 01:10:45.760 ignored cause they, they had their own questions ready. 01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:50.560 And I read through the questions that people asked on Twitter and stuff. I was like, I don't remember seeing any of this there. 01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:55.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, uh, but yeah, I, I was cause I've watched some of 01:10:55.200 --> 01:10:59.520 their content before just sort of like, I don't know, I think it's, they actually do some really interesting stuff. 01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:03.360 Well, yeah, they're, they're like the creators. YouTube meta game. 01:11:03.360 --> 01:11:06.480 About creators for creators channel. Yeah. Yeah. 01:11:06.480 --> 01:11:11.440 It's, it's, I've watched quite a bit of their stuff. Um, and something that I've, I've noticed is that people 01:11:11.440 --> 01:11:15.680 tend to be pretty relaxed and pretty open. 01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:20.080 And I was like, okay, is Linus going to go like presenter style? 01:11:20.080 --> 01:11:24.880 Like, will you have come off just filming something an hour before because that's normal and be like in 01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:28.320 like presenter mode? And then no, like you were, you were kind of chilling, 01:11:28.320 --> 01:11:32.960 having an open conversation. So I thought it was good. I think it was good that Colton and I went together 01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:36.000 because we talked for like four hours on the flight down there. 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:43.200 So maybe I was just in like chill chatting about the business mode because realistically both of us are the 01:11:43.200 --> 01:11:45.040 kind of people that just never turn off. 01:11:46.320 --> 01:11:50.560 So we, we literally talked for like four hours on the 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:55.920 flight down there. They didn't shut up the whole time. I'm sorry to anyone who was on that flight from YBR to LA 01:11:56.480 --> 01:11:59.040 my apologies. Yeah. 01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:04.320 Someone's saying I should go on Joe Rogan. I've had that suggested before. 01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:07.680 A, I've never been invited. B, I don't know what we'd talk about. 01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:13.840 I literally have no idea because I, I find, I am very 01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:18.000 knowledgeable about a niche that as far as I can tell almost 01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:21.520 no one cares about, which is like tech YouTube. 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:29.120 Because a lot of what I know is not even necessarily applicable to non, like non tech or non, at least 01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:34.560 tangentially related like, like science or, you know, 01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:39.040 education YouTube or like, like you could, like you could kind of find ones that are like kind of similar 01:12:39.040 --> 01:12:42.720 where you're trying to present information and also make it entertaining or whatever else. 01:12:45.920 --> 01:12:46.160 Yeah. 01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:54.240 Next topic. Yeah. Scrappy DP says he doesn't know who you are. 01:12:54.240 --> 01:12:58.720 A hundred percent. He has absolutely no idea who I am. 01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:07.760 I don't think I've ever seen him operate a computer. So I think his, I think his producer at some point 01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:15.360 or something talked about the screwdriver though. Redban is not his producer, but has worked with him in 01:13:15.360 --> 01:13:18.080 the past and definitely knows who we are for sure. 01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:27.200 Um, he, he's like the, what is the kill Tony? 01:13:28.080 --> 01:13:31.360 Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. That's the one I'm thinking about. Yep. 01:13:31.360 --> 01:13:34.640 But I think he used to work with Joe Morgan in the, 01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:38.000 in the way past or something. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. 01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:41.440 Red, red bands weren't like, he's had like, I think he's talked about the screwdriver. 01:13:41.440 --> 01:13:45.680 He's worn a, an LTX sweater on one of the kill Tonys in the 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.720 past. Um, cool. Yeah. 01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:53.600 So he's definitely been around. Also, I think I don't remember. 01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:02.160 Oh, I guess this would be before you were doing YouTube stuff, 01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:07.440 but I thought Joe Rogan was really into like Quake. 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.920 I've heard that. And doing land stuff back in the day. 01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:15.920 I don't know. That would have had to be like a thousand years ago. A little bit a long time ago. 01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:24.640 All right. Melody Bun, there is no risk of me going on Rogan. 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:28.560 They're begging me not to go on. I have not been invited. 01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:31.840 He literally doesn't know who I am. It's fine. Just chill. 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.960 My goodness. Do you think a, like a gorilla could play badminton? 01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:40.080 Sorry. What? You know, like a gorilla, like they're pretty strong at like fast. 01:14:40.080 --> 01:14:44.080 What do you think? Are you, are you saying I should play Joe Rogan in badminton? 01:14:44.080 --> 01:14:48.400 No, no, no, no. Like a, like a gorilla. Do you think that could play badminton? He's trying to be Joe Rogan. 01:14:48.400 --> 01:14:52.240 I'm prepping you for your interview. I've never watched the Rogan experience. 01:14:52.240 --> 01:14:55.600 Okay. I've, I've seen the occasional clip here and there. 01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:00.080 Like are those the kind of questions he asks? I don't know. I don't, I've seen clips like that. 01:15:00.080 --> 01:15:04.800 There's like a meaning that all his interviews turn into him talking about like, 01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:08.560 what if this was a giant scary animal and could you like take it on? 01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:14.560 So it doesn't matter that you're a tech YouTuber because you won't be talking about that. 01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:20.240 I see. It's like that. I think the whole thing is like, yeah, like could you fight a bear slash? 01:15:20.240 --> 01:15:23.920 Have you done DMT before? That's the meme, I think. That's DMT. 01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:27.120 I was going to, I was going to mention that if it didn't. Drug. Oh, okay. 01:15:27.120 --> 01:15:32.720 What is it though? I don't know. Dime methyl tryptamine as a strong psychedelic drug. 01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:35.120 I think the answer is you have not. Well, yeah, I mean, obviously. 01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:38.400 But like, what's its, well, what's its colloquial name? 01:15:39.440 --> 01:15:43.040 DMT. Van versus Joe Rogan in a cage. That would end poorly. 01:15:43.040 --> 01:15:46.960 Yeah. He might be old, but he's still a lot bigger than me. 01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:50.720 He's going to do one of those spinny kicks and send us into orbit. 01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:56.000 Dmitri and Fantasia. 01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:01.520 Schedule one controlled substance in the United States, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:04.400 Okay. Okay. So it's just called DMT. 01:16:08.240 --> 01:16:15.200 Okay. Well, I mean, now I know about that. So if I ever get into when I, yeah, when I start my hookers and blow arc, 01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:18.320 then I'll, I'll have another. DMT and bears. 01:16:20.320 --> 01:16:22.000 I would work in Vancouver. I'll tell you that. 01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:33.600 Please tell me the bear thing was intentional. 01:16:38.080 --> 01:16:40.240 I'm sorry. I'm going to shut up now. 01:16:41.200 --> 01:16:46.640 Oh man. I mean, I feel like I'm overdue for a real scandal, you know? 01:16:46.640 --> 01:16:50.960 Like I feel like, I feel like to put in con, to put things in context, I need to like, 01:16:51.520 --> 01:17:00.160 like run over some orphans or something, you know? Because then me not, me not talking about, you know, a sponsor that we haven't worked with in 01:17:00.160 --> 01:17:07.760 three years will be just, people will be able to put it in the correct context, you know? 01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:11.600 Yeah. Like come on, tell me, tell me, what, what, what scandal do you guys want? 01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:17.760 You want like a good one? Not, yeah, don't, you know, don't run over orphans. 01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:20.320 Give me something. You know. Speeding. Come on. 01:17:22.320 --> 01:17:26.560 I mean, that, that was another, that was another funny one to me just because like, 01:17:27.280 --> 01:17:32.720 the fact that every other car YouTuber does blur their speedo, does that make what they're doing? 01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:37.120 Like any, the fact that they successfully blur their speedo, does that make it like better? 01:17:38.960 --> 01:17:45.040 Like I'm not saying that it's a good thing to do, that you should just rip around on public roads. 01:17:45.040 --> 01:17:48.800 Wasn't he in a school zone? He was, there was a, I didn't really. 01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:53.360 There was a children at play sign of some sort, but I don't think there's any 01:17:54.080 --> 01:17:57.760 concrete evidence that it was in effect. It may have been time delimited. 01:17:57.760 --> 01:17:58.480 Got it, okay. 01:18:03.120 --> 01:18:07.440 Like dude, there was that, there was that scrapyard wars when I was literally texting 01:18:07.440 --> 01:18:11.840 while driving in scrapyard wars and I'm not saying that's good and you shouldn't do that. 01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:17.600 It was a different time for real and that's not a good excuse. 01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:29.840 Like distracted driving is terrible. I'm just saying that like it was, it was, it was interesting to watch how eager people were 01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:32.720 to like nail Marquez to the cross for that one. 01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:37.520 And I'm not saying what he did was right. And the timing sucked. 01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:41.360 I think coming right on the heels of the, I think that's most of it to be honest. 01:18:41.360 --> 01:18:45.920 Yeah, I don't know. I feel like a lot of what's gone on with us has been. 01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:54.400 Blood in the water. A, has been a significant amount of residual anger that goes all the way back to ad block as piracy. 01:18:54.400 --> 01:18:59.600 Yeah, probably. I think that was our first thing where people felt like personally attacked, 01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:03.040 even though I never said don't do it. And there's a, there's a certain degree that you get to. 01:19:03.040 --> 01:19:15.040 I've had this conversation with a few people. There's a certain degree that you get to when it is encouraged and cheered on by the community 01:19:15.040 --> 01:19:17.360 to attack a person or a group of people. 01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:20.800 So it ends up being like the safe route. 01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:25.520 Like I think, I think I can think of one particular point in time where it was the 01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:29.280 safe route to throw at us with everything you could. 01:19:29.280 --> 01:19:33.280 Oh yeah, a hundred percent. So like it was anything else would have gotten you like destroyed. 01:19:33.280 --> 01:19:36.960 Even if you said nothing. Even if you said nothing. You would have looked like you're evil or something. 01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:40.800 So then like, and that, that residuals for a long time. 01:19:40.800 --> 01:19:45.600 I think it, I don't think it goes away. Potentially every hour. I'm not, I'm not convinced it goes away. 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:49.360 Okay, so hold on a second. Hold on a second. We've got, we've got suggestions though. 01:19:49.360 --> 01:19:52.640 We've got suggestions for a proper scandal. Nice. 01:19:54.480 --> 01:19:58.480 Okay, interesting. Linus is actually six foot five. 01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:05.840 Lied the whole time. That's good. Nice. That's good. Dracus asks, how were the Diddy parties? 01:20:07.120 --> 01:20:12.400 Dude, if you think I am anywhere near cool enough to be invited to a music industry party, 01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:17.280 please. Again, Joe Rogan doesn't know who he is. 01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:26.480 Remember when we talked recently? I'm not trying to say he's associated to Diddy just before people freak out. 01:20:27.440 --> 01:20:31.440 It's already starting. Oh no, that was not my point at all. 01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:36.880 Remember when we were talking recently about like celebrities that I've met? 01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:46.720 And I couldn't, I couldn't think of any. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like even Seth Curry, the, the like, the lesser Curry, still great. 01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:52.160 Still great NBA player. I don't watch, I don't watch basketball, but still my understanding. 01:20:52.160 --> 01:20:58.160 I looked at his stats. I creeped the stats and they were good. Still great, but like, I haven't met anybody. 01:20:58.160 --> 01:21:01.920 I don't know anybody. I don't. Wait, the lesser Curry? Who's the greater Curry? 01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:07.040 Steph. Yeah, they had two kids. They named them Steph and Seth. 01:21:07.040 --> 01:21:12.240 Wow. Yeah. Good thinking. I don't watch, I don't watch, I thought they were the same person. 01:21:12.240 --> 01:21:14.160 No, not even. Okay. Yeah, not even. 01:21:16.320 --> 01:21:21.360 Oh yeah, I met Deadmau5. I mean, Joel's kind of niche, famous too though. 01:21:21.360 --> 01:21:25.120 I think so. Like he's like, if you're into EDM. Now I think so. 01:21:25.120 --> 01:21:29.920 And you don't know who Deadmau5 is. You're like, like a cultural moron basically. 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:33.600 But if you're not into EDM and you don't know who Deadmau5 is, like yeah. 01:21:33.600 --> 01:21:35.920 Like he had like one song on the radio. 01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:37.760 Like, let's be real. 01:21:40.160 --> 01:21:44.240 And I think in our age bracket and- Pretty much everybody knew I think. 01:21:44.240 --> 01:21:47.440 Pretty much everybody knew. But outside of that, please. Yeah, that's probably true. 01:21:47.440 --> 01:21:50.640 Yeah, come on. Yeah. And Joel's super cool. 01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:57.200 Nothing against him or anything. But when you talk like famous, famous, I mean, I did meet Paris Hilton. 01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:01.840 Okay. I was in the same room. Did you meet her? Were you in the same room? 01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:05.920 I complained about her. Did you meet her? Were you complaining about her in the same room? 01:22:07.040 --> 01:22:09.040 She uploaded that Christmas video of her naked. 01:22:10.320 --> 01:22:13.840 So I would say that I would say that I've actually seen more of her 01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:15.520 than most people in my life. 01:22:19.040 --> 01:22:22.080 That is not, that is a, wow. 01:22:22.080 --> 01:22:27.440 That is a very positively parasocial thing for everyone that enjoys OnlyFans, I think. 01:22:28.400 --> 01:22:31.680 All the OnlyFans enjoyers are like- 01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:36.000 Yeah, I know them. I've seen a lot of them. She's disrupting the market. 01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:42.880 If Jerrogan did know who you were and invited you, would you go on? 01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:47.760 I think I would probably leave it to the management team. 01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:51.120 So I think it would be fine. I'd probably, well, then you'd feel free to cast your vote. 01:22:51.120 --> 01:22:55.440 But I don't think I'd weigh in on that. I think that's, I think that's something I'd let the team decide. 01:22:55.520 --> 01:23:00.240 Because that way I get plausible deniability. I can just be like, yeah, the executive team sent me here. 01:23:00.240 --> 01:23:04.400 I just work here. Because I really, I honestly don't- 01:23:04.400 --> 01:23:09.760 That is fairly true. I don't really have an opinion. I've seen clips, like I said, I've come across the odd clip. 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:16.240 I've never actually like sat through an entire podcast, but I've seen clips here and there that make it look like a very, very stupid thing. 01:23:17.280 --> 01:23:21.840 But I've also seen clips that seem to have intelligent people 01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:27.600 and some semblance of like a coherent intellectual conversation. 01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:29.360 So I don't really know what to make of it. Yeah. 01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:32.560 I don't know. I just think things like that, like, 01:23:35.760 --> 01:23:39.120 yeah, if you keep your head about you, like whatever. I don't know. It's just talking. 01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:44.960 Man, we discovered Linus pays people to play games for him. 01:23:46.400 --> 01:23:49.600 That could be, that could be something. Nah, there's- To play games for him? 01:23:49.600 --> 01:23:52.560 You guys got nothing. You guys got nothing. 01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:57.600 Badminton Center is a drug front? Oh, that's not bad. That's pretty good. 01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:03.120 Yeah. There's, there's, there's shipping bays on the back. Shuttlecock's more like mule penises. 01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:08.000 Like mules, like for drugs. Yeah. I don't know. 01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:14.880 Okay. All right. Yeah. And they're big, so lots of drugs, big mule penises, drugs. 01:24:15.600 --> 01:24:19.440 I don't know. Like aphrodisiacs or something. I don't know the lingo, okay. 01:24:20.160 --> 01:24:21.040 I think it's panda. 01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:29.360 Oh man. What else we got here? Shuttlecocks. 01:24:29.360 --> 01:24:36.480 You could have a cock fighting ring. Oh man. Even in the flow plane, it's amazing how many people like actually believe 01:24:37.040 --> 01:24:40.080 some of the stuff that is just like not true at all. 01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:44.480 Someone said someone committed suicide because of you. That's not true at all. 01:24:44.480 --> 01:24:50.640 That is not true. That is absolutely false. I have personally verified, but that is absolutely false. 01:24:50.640 --> 01:24:58.160 Yeah. And it's just, it's, it's so bizarre the way that someone can say something about you online. 01:24:58.160 --> 01:25:02.240 And it becomes. And it becomes canon in some people's heads. 01:25:02.240 --> 01:25:08.400 And you can never reach a hundred percent of them. You can never reach a hundred percent of them again. 01:25:08.400 --> 01:25:14.320 Luke is actually allergic to chicken and rice. Oh, that would throw off my whole worldview. 01:25:17.360 --> 01:25:20.320 What does it mean? 01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:26.240 Maybe his allergy is that it engorges certain parts of his body. 01:25:26.240 --> 01:25:28.880 Oh no. Which would actually work out great. 01:25:30.400 --> 01:25:32.320 Given what he cooks his famous chicken for. 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:36.080 For his 100% success chicken rate. 01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:40.800 That could be, that could be quite convenient. Winner winner chicken dinner indeed. 01:25:41.280 --> 01:25:48.160 I love that your mom watches the show. 01:25:48.160 --> 01:25:49.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good. 01:25:53.280 --> 01:25:57.520 Okay. Talking of Luke's private parts, do you want to do sponsors? 01:25:57.520 --> 01:26:03.600 Yeah, sure.

All right. 01:29:00.240 --> 01:29:01.280 What are we supposed to be doing, Dan? 01:29:05.040 --> 01:29:09.920 Sure. I like this one. 2024 was a year. 01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.840 Yes, it was. What were your favorite moments? 01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:19.840 We asked the writers, what were your favorite videos that you worked on this year? 01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:26.000 Oh, this is fun. Okay, Luke, do you mind clicking them so that I can like switch 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:27.840 over to your laptop or something like that? 01:29:29.040 --> 01:29:33.520 First up is David with his console tier list. 01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:36.800 Perhaps the most high-effort tier list video ever made, 01:29:36.800 --> 01:29:40.640 says David, the Cleopatra of the tier list format. 01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:43.520 Can you tell the guy writes for a living? 01:29:44.560 --> 01:29:47.600 David says, I loved making this video because it fell 01:29:47.600 --> 01:29:52.480 outside of our comfort zone. I especially liked the challenge of coming up with visuals 01:29:52.480 --> 01:29:56.080 for the longer storytelling bits like the paper puppet show 01:29:56.080 --> 01:30:00.320 during the Sony intro or the CRT-A role during the SEGA bit. 01:30:00.320 --> 01:30:03.360 Only video game donkey has a more popular console tier list. 01:30:03.360 --> 01:30:07.680 I am very proud of how this one turned out. Yeah, this one has been a slow burn. 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:11.200 Out of the gate, it actually did not perform very well for us, 01:30:11.200 --> 01:30:14.640 but over time, it has it. Oh, it's it's cranking. 01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:21.200 Very clickable. Yeah, it's doing great. And you can ever green. You can see that like to view ratio, very solid, 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:25.440 very solid. The team outdid themselves on this one. 01:30:25.440 --> 01:30:28.960 It was an extremely high effort video and it's long, 01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:32.240 like putting together a high effort edit like this for a 10 minute video. 01:30:32.240 --> 01:30:36.000 That's that's a lot of work. Putting it together for a 30 minute video and it never, 01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:42.640 it never slows down. Like the the the the quality of this video is just outstanding. 01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:45.680 They did a really good job. I think it's pretty interesting that the highest replay spike 01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:49.680 is not the final tier list. I think it's because everyone just like 01:30:49.680 --> 01:30:52.720 Final tier list is a high spike, but not the highest. 01:30:52.720 --> 01:30:56.080 I think everyone just kind of knows like it's PlayStation. 01:30:56.080 --> 01:31:00.320 Yeah. And there was some really like interesting stuff like this this bit. 01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:04.400 Even though a lot of people know the the history there. 01:31:07.520 --> 01:31:12.560 David did a great job of providing a really excellent and fast summary of it. 01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:16.160 Yeah, for sure. All right, next up we've got Adam. 01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:24.080 I built the world's biggest gaming TV. I can't believe Linus took this down to build a stupid badminton center. 01:31:25.200 --> 01:31:29.040 We were there till like 1 a.m. And it was worth every minute. 01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:37.840 You got that one up yet? Yeah. This was legitimately an unforgettable experience. 01:31:44.160 --> 01:31:46.720 Unforgettable. Dan was there. 01:31:47.280 --> 01:31:51.600 Dan wasn't even working. No one told me I would have been there. 01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:54.640 Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. Yeah, they called me like four hours late. 01:31:54.640 --> 01:31:57.840 I think I arrived at like 11 p.m. Scared. Absolutely worth it. 01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:00.960 It's hard to even get a sense of the scale of it. 01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:04.560 Like it's it's enormous. Bonkers. 01:32:06.080 --> 01:32:10.560 So cool though. And like even just watching Dan play Flight Sim on it. 01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:18.160 He played Flight Sim. Yeah, I mean I said at the time it felt more immersive to me than VR. 01:32:18.400 --> 01:32:22.800 Just because of like. Oh unlimited FOV. 01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:25.120 Yeah. Look, there I am. 01:32:26.080 --> 01:32:29.680 Oh yeah, you were driving the car. The car was bigger than a real car. 01:32:30.400 --> 01:32:34.880 Like you can see the couch. Yeah, wow. 01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:40.080 Like dude, so cool. 01:32:40.080 --> 01:32:45.040 That's nuts. Those walls are. Wow, I think that's the Flight Sim part. 01:32:45.040 --> 01:32:48.320 35 feet tall, I think. 32. 32. 01:32:48.320 --> 01:32:55.520 Yeah. Yeah. And like the fact that we lucked out and it was actually slightly over 2000 inches. 01:32:56.160 --> 01:32:59.760 Dance. So we got to meme on Frank's 2000 inch TV. 01:33:01.120 --> 01:33:06.000 Yeah. Like oh. Oh, I loved it. Man, this is this is amazing because. 01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:10.080 I didn't even remember either of those. 01:33:11.360 --> 01:33:15.600 Yeah. Our writing team and our editors work on a lot of videos. 01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:18.640 Yeah. I work on. Okay. How many writers we got? 01:33:18.640 --> 01:33:21.840 One, two, three, four, five, six. 01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:26.160 I'm going to also count myself seven because I do write videos from time to time. 01:33:26.160 --> 01:33:30.480 So I literally work on six to seven times as many videos as them. 01:33:30.480 --> 01:33:34.080 So there are things that I just. And all the streams. Blank on. 01:33:35.200 --> 01:33:38.960 I didn't remember that either of those were this year. We do. 01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:43.200 Those were this year. Yeah. It feels like they were longer ago. Dude, we do cool stuff. 01:33:43.200 --> 01:33:46.640 Oh yeah. We like actually. Very awesome. Cool stuff. Crying out loud. 01:33:47.440 --> 01:33:50.240 Ploof says his favorite. No way. 01:33:51.040 --> 01:33:54.400 No way is working on it. This one. 01:33:54.400 --> 01:33:57.520 Got it. Oh, wrong one. 01:33:58.320 --> 01:34:02.480 I have two weeks to file a dispute for this scam TV. 01:34:02.480 --> 01:34:08.800 Okay. It is the hardest that I think I have ever seen Ploof laugh in the years that we have 01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:14.560 been working together. So you got to skip forward. It's probably going to be a view spike forward, forward, way forward. 01:34:14.560 --> 01:34:18.080 Look for the big one at the end. This is probably it. That's got to be it. 01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:23.120 So there's a point here where he realizes. 01:34:26.080 --> 01:34:29.520 Wait for it. That's inside the glass, by the way. Yeah. 01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:30.480 He realizes. 01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:35.360 That the only person he knows. 01:34:36.880 --> 01:34:41.040 Who's stupid enough to get ripped off by this thing is sitting right next to him. 01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:48.640 Have you ever seen a man so happy? 01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:59.680 Oh man. Oh dude. No acting could ever be that pure and that genuine. 01:35:00.960 --> 01:35:04.160 The the mirth, the mirth that this man felt. 01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:10.800 So he says, he says, just like Jake Tyvey, I enjoy wasting Linus's money. 01:35:11.200 --> 01:35:14.800 Also, apparently, once the refund was finally going to happen, support goes to us. 01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:16.720 Did we not get a refund? 01:35:22.640 --> 01:35:27.520 You know, we've had to dial back the like references to like wasting my money and 01:35:27.520 --> 01:35:32.720 stuff in videos because people get so hung up on it. They're like, oh Linus, flexing his money again. 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:37.600 Or like, it's not even his money. It's the company's money. It's just like, like people get so mad about it. 01:35:37.600 --> 01:35:41.440 What they don't understand is, I don't write that into the videos. 01:35:42.240 --> 01:35:46.240 The team writes that into the videos. They think it's funny. 01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:54.560 I'm like, what do you want? And so I have to sit there and tell them, yeah, this thing that you enjoy and you think is like 01:35:54.560 --> 01:35:58.080 genuinely funny to me, because people will get upset on behalf of the team. 01:35:58.080 --> 01:36:01.440 They'll be like, yeah, Linus flexing his money in front of his team that can't afford this 01:36:01.440 --> 01:36:04.880 crap in Chinese TV or whatever. But they're the ones who love it. 01:36:07.600 --> 01:36:08.320 Oh man. 01:36:11.120 --> 01:36:16.560 All right. What else we got? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Alex obviously was going to pick this one. 01:36:17.120 --> 01:36:19.680 The mighty car mods collab. 01:36:20.240 --> 01:36:23.760 Coincidentally, Ploof's least favorite video. 01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:27.760 Ploof says, not my least favorite, but I do wish y'all had like one extra day. 01:36:27.760 --> 01:36:32.320 Thanks customs for delaying the engine because it took a while for them to actually get it 01:36:32.320 --> 01:36:38.240 driving ready for it. Okay. It was sitting in 105 for like the next couple of weeks. 01:36:38.240 --> 01:36:41.600 Oh wow. This is such a great moment for the engine. That was pretty cool. 01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:44.000 It's so awesome having them all in the engine bay there. I love it. 01:36:45.440 --> 01:36:49.360 I have a response from Ploof here about the TV. Oh, oh, what do you say? 01:36:50.400 --> 01:36:55.440 Let's see. Let's see. Wow. Ploof with the game sense to message the producer rather than messaging me. 01:36:55.440 --> 01:36:59.840 I think that's a first for WAN Show. No, I messaged Ploof. Oh, all right then. 01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:03.120 That's my W. Nice. 01:37:03.200 --> 01:37:06.240 We can both take the L's. I don't know. We'll share. I like sharing L's. 01:37:06.240 --> 01:37:09.200 Two L's. Yeah, they make a W. 01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:14.640 Let's see. AliExpress is offering a partial refund, but not telling me the amount. 01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:18.640 I said I either want to return it or get a full refund. 01:37:20.720 --> 01:37:25.520 They closed the case. Oh, okay. 01:37:25.520 --> 01:37:28.800 Case closed then, I guess. Yeah, let's see. 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:31.360 Visa, they reached out to Visa. 01:37:33.360 --> 01:37:38.640 Basically, both TVs are lumped in the same purchase and AliExpress, 01:37:40.240 --> 01:37:44.160 they've appealed five times. So. They've appealed the chargeback. 01:37:44.720 --> 01:37:48.080 You have, you've purchased two TVs. 01:37:48.800 --> 01:37:54.720 No way. I should be able to get my money back. What's the point of chargeback if I can order the wrong thing and they just get to be like, 01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:58.080 yeah, it's a Chinese inch. What's a Chinese inch? 01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:03.440 Wait, did they say that? Yeah. What? They said, yeah, our inches are different from your inches. 01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:07.680 Oh, no, I think the Visa is a separate thing. Oh, okay, okay, okay. 01:38:07.680 --> 01:38:13.360 All right. Well, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. Ploof says if it makes you feel better, the video did get three to five million views. 01:38:14.480 --> 01:38:18.560 What's three to five million? Ploof does have access to this dashboard. 01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:22.560 Did he say that or are you, are you saying that? That's what, that's what he said. Oh my God, this is real. 01:38:23.280 --> 01:38:23.760 What's up? 01:38:27.120 --> 01:38:32.480 Okay, so yes, that's true. But the TV then should be bigger, not smaller. 01:38:33.440 --> 01:38:38.240 Oh, right. Yeah. So we, we measured it every possible way. 01:38:38.240 --> 01:38:43.280 And also there's multiple Chinese inches and Andy talked us through it. 01:38:43.280 --> 01:38:46.720 So, so we, yeah, so we, we, we measured it. 01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:51.840 If it was centimeters, it's not right. If it was Chinese inches, it's not right. 01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:57.440 And if it was regular inches, it's not right. It's just completely invented. 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:00.640 Like it's, it's nothing to do with anything on any measuring tape. 01:39:05.760 --> 01:39:07.280 Anyway, okay. 01:39:11.120 --> 01:39:14.720 All right. Let's keep going. Elijah, really? 01:39:16.160 --> 01:39:19.120 Huh. Add. 01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:25.120 Yeah. If only there was some way to, because you know that we're going to do the next thing, 01:39:25.120 --> 01:39:31.120 queue up the, okay, it doesn't matter. The point is his favorite was, why did you make me build this? 01:39:31.760 --> 01:39:35.360 This CEO PC build. This was his second time water cooling. 01:39:35.360 --> 01:39:40.880 He was apparently super nervous. PS, when are we selling the poster? 01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:42.720 The video hit a hundred thousand likes. 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:47.760 Okay. So there's a poster at the end. If you go to Taryn's office. 01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:52.960 Yeah. Just anywhere in his office. So that poster. 01:39:52.960 --> 01:39:58.320 Um, I think, I think we are going forward with it. 01:39:58.320 --> 01:40:05.280 I don't think it's going to be that big. But yeah, you guys did, you did reach a hundred thousand likes. 01:40:05.280 --> 01:40:08.240 So there's no real avoiding that at this point. 01:40:09.360 --> 01:40:13.280 Pope. He was able to get rid of the chair, which is great. 01:40:13.280 --> 01:40:17.200 He still has to use, I think he still has the keyboard. 01:40:17.200 --> 01:40:21.840 He sells the computer. And the computer, which is loud and annoying. 01:40:21.840 --> 01:40:26.480 Yeah, that's not my problem. So that sounds like, that sounds like a CEO issue. 01:40:26.480 --> 01:40:30.560 If it reduces the performance of your CEO. Poster soon, probably in January. 01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:33.680 Really? This is from Nick Light. Yeah, I forgot. 01:40:33.680 --> 01:40:37.200 Like it's during the work day today. There will be an option to buy the big one. 01:40:37.200 --> 01:40:40.720 Yeah. That's why I reached out. No way. The, oh my gosh. 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:46.720 Okay. I responded to this. I didn't realize that it was a segment for WAN Show. 01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:50.880 I said, I love all my videos equally. That's like asking me to pick my favorite child. 01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:53.600 He actually put a screenshot of that from teams in there. 01:40:55.840 --> 01:41:00.000 But I really enjoyed the 3D home theater video, even if no one else cared about it. 01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:05.360 It was pretty cool to put together like a true cinema grade passive 3D setup. 01:41:05.360 --> 01:41:08.560 The number of people that provided advice to me 01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:12.800 on how I could have done it better or cheaper by using active shutter glasses or whatever. 01:41:12.800 --> 01:41:17.600 It's like, bro, I followed 3D pretty closely. 01:41:18.320 --> 01:41:21.040 I am aware of fucking shutter glasses. 01:41:24.080 --> 01:41:29.120 I did it this way because I wanted passive 3D with glass optics. 01:41:29.120 --> 01:41:34.160 I have never seen anything as good as the 3D setup that was in my house. 01:41:34.720 --> 01:41:39.600 It was awesome. The only thing that I would like to do differently 01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:44.560 is I would like to get my hands on a higher quality DLP projector. 01:41:44.640 --> 01:41:48.240 I also learned about another type of filter 01:41:48.240 --> 01:41:51.440 that could help me make non-DLP projectors, 01:41:51.440 --> 01:41:54.720 like make the light polarizable or something as a whole. 01:41:55.280 --> 01:41:59.280 I forget what it's called. Anyway, I linked Elijah to some articles in case we were going to do a follow-up, 01:41:59.280 --> 01:42:05.040 but the video didn't get any views, so we probably won't. But I'd like to get my hands on some better DLP projectors 01:42:05.040 --> 01:42:08.160 with lens shifts so that I could perfectly align the images. 01:42:08.160 --> 01:42:11.040 And then, oh man, oh, so cool. 01:42:12.560 --> 01:42:16.720 I would totally have that setup. Maybe as part of Whaleland or something. 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:22.400 I also really enjoyed doing the Equinix tour. I always love getting access to places other people don't get to go. 01:42:23.440 --> 01:42:25.520 It's one of my favorite perks of this job. 01:42:26.720 --> 01:42:30.080 So cool. And then the last one that came off the top of my head 01:42:30.080 --> 01:42:36.960 was the motherboard repair video. That was probably the most pure joy and exhilaration 01:42:36.960 --> 01:42:39.600 that I have felt filming a video in at least a couple of years. 01:42:40.480 --> 01:42:43.520 Just stacking up those Ws. 01:42:43.520 --> 01:42:46.800 Although we have one coming... Oh, no, this one came out already. 01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:50.560 The one where the wife threw the guy's PC out the window. 01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:53.360 Yeah. The three-story balcony when he asked for a divorce. 01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:57.680 We got... have you watched it? I've gone through parts of it. 01:42:57.680 --> 01:43:01.840 Oh, okay. We got all but one component working. 01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:06.160 Yes, I did know that. All but one. Wait, no, I think I did watch the whole thing. 01:43:06.160 --> 01:43:09.520 Yeah, that was super awesome. That was very surprised. 01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:13.040 I've also got another response here from Nick Light. I'm on vacation. 01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:15.440 You Linus, I'm not working. 01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:20.960 I'm on vacation. You Linus. There's a blank in there. 01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:24.480 No, he said you Linus. I'm not working. You Linus. 01:43:25.120 --> 01:43:28.400 What's you like? You Linus. You Linus. 01:43:28.400 --> 01:43:32.160 Oh, nice. You Linus. 01:43:32.160 --> 01:43:33.920 Nice. God, I hope my button works. 01:43:35.280 --> 01:43:36.080 Doesn't for us. 01:43:39.040 --> 01:43:42.800 Jordan said I'm on vacation, Adam. Please stop messaging me. 01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:48.560 Nice. And then Bell's favorite was you might feel a little pressure. 01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:53.120 The Ludwig Swipe Plus bidet ShortCircuit. That was actually a lot of fun. 01:43:53.120 --> 01:43:56.560 What? Oh, sorry. Sorry. I just assumed you wouldn't bother clicking it. 01:43:56.560 --> 01:44:00.560 Wow. That was the only one that's had an ad. 01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.600 Like this one didn't have an ad on it. That was awesome. How many views did this get? 01:44:04.720 --> 01:44:07.760 We should hire this guy. 850,000 views on a bidet. 01:44:08.400 --> 01:44:12.880 Yeah. Absolutely natural talent. I mean, I told him this when he came up here. 01:44:12.880 --> 01:44:17.360 I was like, if there's anything. Oh, I think I actually said this on the yard, 01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:24.880 but the guy is an S tier personality. Yeah. Like just you could probably put him in front of anything 01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:28.960 with anyone doing anything. They do pretty well. 01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:34.480 And he would just, he'd like figure out the vibe, 01:44:36.080 --> 01:44:41.280 settle in and just perform. Like the guy is just absolutely S tier. 01:44:41.280 --> 01:44:41.920 Good what he does. 01:44:46.320 --> 01:44:49.360 Okay. Oh, Sammy. Sammy picked a favorite one. 01:44:50.080 --> 01:44:52.400 I haven't watched this video. 01:44:53.200 --> 01:44:58.720 You haven't watched your own setup doctor. 01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:02.240 That's weird. No way. I feel like I would watch mine. 01:45:02.240 --> 01:45:06.080 Yeah. He says he has a hard time watching himself. Oh, I'm the same. 01:45:06.080 --> 01:45:07.760 I haven't watched mine. What? 01:45:09.280 --> 01:45:12.000 Oh, what? Okay. 01:45:12.880 --> 01:45:16.960 I was working up the courage to, but. Well, anyway, all right. 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:20.480 Yeah. He said that was his joke answer. And then his real answer was, 01:45:20.480 --> 01:45:24.000 this is how we make an LTT video 2024. This was outstanding. 01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:26.480 And I didn't even know about it until I watched it. 01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:31.600 The team did such an outstanding job of this video 01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:34.960 going through the entire process in like a. 01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:40.400 This is super cool. I don't know. I don't know how to describe why it's so much better 01:45:41.040 --> 01:45:46.960 than the way that we've done it in the past. But I think this might be the best like dislike ratio 01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:50.000 on Floatplane. You just ruined it now. No, they won't float. 01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:53.200 Plane's not like that. I'm going to do it. What? Damn. 01:45:53.200 --> 01:45:55.360 No, Floatplane's not like that. They don't respect that. 01:45:57.200 --> 01:46:01.200 Yeah. So yeah, he said it was a video idea he wanted to do for over a year. 01:46:01.200 --> 01:46:09.600 And don't Sammy outstanding. Exclus- Are you kidding me right now? 01:46:14.160 --> 01:46:18.000 Hold on. I can block mods. You can. Yeah. You can. You can ban them. 01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:20.560 Do it. Ban them. Ban them from Floatplane. 01:46:24.560 --> 01:46:28.000 Okay. Adam added some other stuff. 01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:32.720 Some stats. 844 million views on the channel this year. 01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:36.720 172 million hours of watch time. 01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:41.840 234 LTT videos, 59 live streams, 34 shorts. 01:46:41.840 --> 01:46:45.760 126 Floatplane exclusives including behind the scenes 01:46:45.760 --> 01:46:49.920 and exclusive live streams and themed weeks. And themed weeks are sick. 01:46:49.920 --> 01:46:54.720 640,000 new subscribers. Oh, we have some most viewed videos. 01:46:54.720 --> 01:46:57.840 Can you guess the top three? Okay. Well, I know one of them. I have a theory for one of them, 01:46:57.840 --> 01:47:00.400 which I'm very surprised wasn't mentioned at all. 01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:05.200 Oh, really? Up above. I know the top one is the... 01:47:06.800 --> 01:47:09.600 Hold on. I have a theory of what one it is. Should I write it down? 01:47:11.280 --> 01:47:13.840 Yeah, you can write it down. But I know it's one of two. 01:47:14.400 --> 01:47:17.040 It's... Oh, shoot. Oh, it's one of three. Oh, shoot. 01:47:17.600 --> 01:47:20.640 I think the top viewed video on the channel for this year 01:47:20.640 --> 01:47:26.000 is actually the Samsung Folding Displays Short from CES. 01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:28.640 That isn't what I thought and that isn't what I wrote down. Interesting. 01:47:30.320 --> 01:47:34.640 Oh, we didn't count that apparently. So I think we might have gotten it wrong. 01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:39.680 I guess they're only counting VOD. But yeah, I know the top performing other than that 01:47:40.560 --> 01:47:44.960 would have been the underwater scooter, but that's another short for the Taiwan PC. 01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:49.200 Okay, I wrote down Taiwan PC. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one far and away outperformed everything else this year. 01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:53.200 I'm going to sort by views here. I think... 01:47:53.840 --> 01:47:57.040 Oh, I don't know. Over 10 million. Is that enough zeros? 01:47:57.040 --> 01:48:05.600 I don't even know. Yeah. Yeah, so this short from January of 2024 got almost 13 million views. 01:48:05.600 --> 01:48:10.240 Woo. Yeah. This one got a lot, but it's from the previous year. 01:48:10.240 --> 01:48:15.360 And then the underwater scooter one, I think did like eight or nine million or something like that. 01:48:15.360 --> 01:48:18.960 So hold on. Let's have a look at what Adam's got. So can you guys stop through? 01:48:18.960 --> 01:48:24.400 Yeah, I knew that one off the top of my head. As for the next one, man, I don't know. 01:48:24.400 --> 01:48:29.920 We actually played this game recently and I had no idea when we did the 16th anniversary stream. 01:48:29.920 --> 01:48:34.240 I had no idea what like top performing videos were from the channel. I don't spend nearly as much time in the dashboard 01:48:34.240 --> 01:48:35.280 now that it sucks so much. 01:48:37.440 --> 01:48:42.000 Yeah. So you had the other three. I knew Taiwan PC was going to smash other than that. 01:48:44.480 --> 01:48:48.960 Crap. I feel like the iPhone video is going to be up there somewhere. 01:48:48.960 --> 01:48:51.360 No. No, it's like good. 01:48:52.320 --> 01:48:56.800 I think it's got like 3 million, 2.9 million or something like that. The next segment is commented. 01:48:56.800 --> 01:48:58.240 I bet you it's up there for that one. 01:49:03.440 --> 01:49:08.080 Most views though. Because the giant TV was last year, right? 01:49:08.880 --> 01:49:11.040 Was it? I think the giant TV was last year. 01:49:12.880 --> 01:49:16.000 Oh, you don't mean like the projector set up at the BAMT Center? 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:19.520 No. Because that one, I just saw that. That one had almost like four million views, I think. 01:49:20.080 --> 01:49:22.640 Okay, I give up. I don't know. Oh, wait, what? 01:49:23.200 --> 01:49:28.880 Oh, that's such a hack. What? The second one totally is the TV hint wasn't published this year. 01:49:28.880 --> 01:49:33.200 So I put it, oh, it's the ones that got the most views this year. 01:49:33.200 --> 01:49:35.680 Okay, I'm giving myself some credit for that one. 01:49:36.400 --> 01:49:39.920 Because I only excluded it because I thought it was ones that were published this year. 01:49:39.920 --> 01:49:43.280 Yeah, fair enough. Okay, I don't know what the third one is. I don't know what the third one is. 01:49:44.800 --> 01:49:47.040 No way. This? 01:49:48.720 --> 01:49:52.720 This one like bombed out of the gate. 5.3 million. 01:49:52.720 --> 01:49:59.840 5.3. Yeah, this one did not do well. Hold on, I'm not logged into the right account here, but let's go find it. 01:50:02.160 --> 01:50:09.600 I'll show you guys. It was supposed to be like a sequel to a top performer. 01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:13.120 Because this is the EVGA classified. Oh, that timeline. 01:50:13.120 --> 01:50:23.280 Wow. Yeah, so like, dude, this started at the low end of typical. 01:50:24.080 --> 01:50:29.600 And then just reached escape velocity and then just has not slowed down. 01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:35.520 15,000 views today, like just casually racking them up. 01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:40.720 30,000 views last 48 hours for a video that old is crazy. 01:50:40.720 --> 01:50:46.560 It doesn't happen that much anymore. It used to be how our entire channel growth was architected. 01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:51.360 That's what we talked about. Yeah, was just you make evergreen content and it just like gets views forever. 01:50:51.360 --> 01:50:56.320 But only a few of them, only a few of them break out like that. 01:50:56.320 --> 01:50:58.880 Yeah. All right. What was our bonus fourth? 01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:04.400 They left this in my driveway. The Cleveland's Scorpion Gaming Chair. 01:51:04.400 --> 01:51:08.240 Yeah. Yeah, there you go. That's such a great. I forgot those this year. 01:51:08.240 --> 01:51:11.920 And the fact that that title is not clickbait. 01:51:11.920 --> 01:51:17.440 Like that's actually what happened. We ordered the thing and they just dumped it like in the driveway. 01:51:17.440 --> 01:51:21.440 It was 11 months. We didn't even sign for it. Like they just left it there. 01:51:21.440 --> 01:51:25.680 I'm like, really? That seems a little silly. 01:51:25.680 --> 01:51:28.960 Absolutely wild. Okay. 01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:32.880 Most commented video with 13,000 comments. That's got to be the iPhone video. 01:51:32.880 --> 01:51:38.000 There's no way. Oh, no, it was the $5,000 PC in the Taiwanese tech mall. 01:51:38.000 --> 01:51:42.240 And then the next one was April Fool's that that checks out. Oh, none of them are the iPhone video. 01:51:42.240 --> 01:51:49.920 Is the last one the iPhone? The last one was the iPhone video. 10,800 comments on I really tried Apple iPhone 30 Day Challenge. 01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:52.320 I'm still using it, by the way, but only because I'm lazy. 01:51:53.600 --> 01:51:59.200 And migrating WhatsApp off of iPhone. I've heard is even worse than migrating WhatsApp onto the iPhone. 01:51:59.200 --> 01:52:03.120 So I'm really not looking forward to that because I used to lose my chat history 01:52:03.120 --> 01:52:06.640 all the time. And that's one of the reasons that I stuck with the Note 9 for so long. 01:52:06.640 --> 01:52:09.760 Honestly, I don't know why people keep using WhatsApp, to be honest. 01:52:10.320 --> 01:52:14.400 I mean, I've never understood how it's survived. 01:52:15.040 --> 01:52:19.120 It's fine. But like the so is everything else. 01:52:19.200 --> 01:52:22.800 Everything's fine. It's where my chat history is. 01:52:23.360 --> 01:52:26.560 Are you keep losing it? No, no, I haven't lost it in like six years. 01:52:26.560 --> 01:52:30.480 Oh, OK. Yeah, I used to lose my chat history all the time. 01:52:30.480 --> 01:52:34.960 Like I didn't even I didn't even realize with because like text message, 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:39.600 migration would be really sloppy unless you like went and did it at the store or with like the proper app or whatever. 01:52:39.600 --> 01:52:43.600 So I'm not saying a lot of people don't still use it. Tons of people still use it. 01:52:43.600 --> 01:52:48.960 I just don't understand. And then like losing my WeChat history was super inconvenient at one point. 01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:54.960 I don't know if you recall that. Yes. But I had a lot of people accuse me of impropriety because I didn't have 01:52:54.960 --> 01:52:59.200 WeChat receipts for something. And like I didn't even realize it didn't cloud backup. 01:52:59.200 --> 01:53:02.480 I don't know. And like China not have the cloud. OK. 01:53:02.480 --> 01:53:05.520 I thought they keep everything. Somebody has it. 01:53:05.520 --> 01:53:07.360 Can you give it back to me, please? 01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:16.320 At least a copy. And then yeah, WhatsApp, the migration just like kind of like kind of sucks. 01:53:16.320 --> 01:53:20.720 Like you can at least use it across multiple devices now. Which is a big upgrade. 01:53:22.080 --> 01:53:25.840 This is what I mean. Yeah. I know. I know. I get it. I don't. I don't understand. 01:53:25.840 --> 01:53:32.240 I get it. It's just it's been it's been pretty sticky because almost everyone I know uses either 01:53:32.240 --> 01:53:39.600 that or Facebook Messenger. And Facebook Messenger is is like the predominant one for like organizing group events. 01:53:40.320 --> 01:53:43.920 And then WhatsApp is the big one for like group chats. 01:53:43.920 --> 01:53:48.320 Yeah. What? When is your heart out? Is it 17 minutes from now? 01:53:48.320 --> 01:53:51.840 No. Yeah. Oh, six. Yeah, we got time. 01:53:51.840 --> 01:53:59.680 OK, sweet. As for our best like ratios at the power color factory tour at 99.08 percent. 01:53:59.680 --> 01:54:03.600 No surprise. Honestly, no surprise. That was a cool video. That was a wicked video. That was an awesome video. 01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:09.280 Oh, it's tied though. Tied with hello old friend media ripping explained. 01:54:09.280 --> 01:54:12.320 That was a thick video. Yeah. Like it was dense. 01:54:12.320 --> 01:54:15.520 Yeah. Um, very like information heavy. 01:54:16.160 --> 01:54:18.640 How did that end up performing? That's what I'm checking. Yeah. 01:54:21.200 --> 01:54:23.600 Hello, old friend. Here we are. Let me bring up the dashboard. 01:54:24.320 --> 01:54:31.200 Yeah. This see this is this is more typical these days where even something that performs really well. 01:54:31.200 --> 01:54:34.640 Flat lines. Flat lines. High, but. 01:54:35.520 --> 01:54:40.240 Yeah. But it's because it got there. Started high. Yeah. August it had 1.54 million. 01:54:40.240 --> 01:54:43.280 Like for contrast, what's it? And yeah, last 48, 22, 30. 01:54:43.280 --> 01:54:49.600 Yeah. So basically dead. So this kind of like how to rip media or whatever and from it, 01:54:49.600 --> 01:54:55.040 the only reason this shot up like this is because it had a really good title and thumbnail. 01:54:55.040 --> 01:54:58.880 And then that's it. It's like they're not going to keep they're not going to keep serving this. 01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:03.440 Bummer. YouTube's YouTube's just different now. 01:55:04.320 --> 01:55:08.400 And you have to adapt to the meta or you die knowing that a lot of evergreen just dies 01:55:08.400 --> 01:55:11.600 and knowing that the audience is actually surprisingly cyclical. 01:55:13.360 --> 01:55:18.640 Would you consider remaking old videos? Because I know that was a thing that you were hardline on no in the past. 01:55:18.640 --> 01:55:22.640 Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. At this point. Yeah. It seems like it makes sense now. 01:55:22.640 --> 01:55:30.240 Especially because like there's new information that hadn't come out or we didn't know or has changed. 01:55:30.240 --> 01:55:35.360 Yeah. Or you can just do a better job potentially. Yeah. Like a lot of them, especially from like the really early days. 01:55:35.360 --> 01:55:39.600 How to water cool a PC. The last guide you'll ever need in 4K. 01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:44.560 Yeah. Sure. You know, or whatever. Yeah. Like we could, I think we could even go back to some of the old like 01:55:45.680 --> 01:55:56.560 NCIX tech tips. The green. Like there are videos that I literally haven't made because I'm like, oh no, we did that on NCIX. 01:55:57.120 --> 01:56:00.080 Yeah, hold on. Nix. Here we go. 01:56:00.880 --> 01:56:04.800 Ultimate water cooling guide. Yes. 13 years ago. 01:56:05.760 --> 01:56:08.480 Buddy. Maybe do this for a while. I know, right? 01:56:09.760 --> 01:56:16.720 This was pretty early Luke shot. Yeah. Luke tried to figure out water cooling, but turns out he lied on his resume. 01:56:16.720 --> 01:56:17.840 So he didn't want to do anything. 01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:24.080 That was one of the fun moments when he left me to water cool two GPUs and just left the room. 01:56:24.080 --> 01:56:31.680 But I've never water cooled it anything before. I've done no water cooling before and I had to take the years off two GPUs. 01:56:31.680 --> 01:56:35.920 That was terrifying. Yeah. Well, he didn't do it. 01:56:35.920 --> 01:56:40.400 I ended up having to do it. No, I didn't. No, I came back and I think you weren't done yet. 01:56:40.400 --> 01:56:44.560 I think I had to at least help. Yeah, that's probably. I was like, you've been here for so long. 01:56:44.560 --> 01:56:50.400 What's taking so long? That wasn't entirely true. We talked about this a few times because you didn't actually give me very much time. 01:56:50.400 --> 01:56:55.840 There were other parts you didn't have enough time for. You definitely had enough time when I wanted those heatsink stripped off. 01:56:55.840 --> 01:57:02.320 Okay, that's probably fair. The last one at 99.06% was the sensible tech upgrade. 01:57:02.320 --> 01:57:06.000 That was Sebastian's. Dude, his place is so styling. 01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:12.080 That was a really good video. Yeah. Honestly, the tech upgrades in general are just pretty awesome. 01:57:12.080 --> 01:57:15.920 All right, I love the tech upgrade series. 2.1 million, wow. 01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:19.280 That's not even that old. Yeah, they're just reliable. 01:57:19.280 --> 01:57:24.800 They're just reliable. Our team is so cool that all you have to really do is hang out with one for a bit 01:57:24.800 --> 01:57:28.640 and then people love them and. His place is so interesting. 01:57:28.640 --> 01:57:34.480 All his little projects are so interesting. Not even little. All his incredibly professional projects. 01:57:36.480 --> 01:57:41.040 That's a lot of. And the team puts so much work into stuff these days, like those little extras, 01:57:41.040 --> 01:57:44.240 like the amount of work that went into just having an entire, 01:57:44.240 --> 01:57:47.360 like a couple of master cartons of screwdrivers on the island there. 01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:50.960 It's extra, I think is the term for it. 01:57:53.520 --> 01:57:56.960 Discussion question, how'd you feel about 2024? What did you achieve? 01:57:56.960 --> 01:57:59.440 Any surprises, disappointments? It was a tough year. 01:58:00.080 --> 01:58:12.480 2024 was a really tough year. We were coming off of some allegations that after the investigation was completed, 01:58:13.280 --> 01:58:18.640 we released our statement that said the investigation found that the allegations 01:58:18.640 --> 01:58:20.320 were unfounded and unfair. 01:58:21.680 --> 01:58:28.560 So going through all of that, when the allegations were, according again to the 01:58:28.560 --> 01:58:35.200 investigation, unfounded and unfair was extremely challenging for me personally 01:58:35.200 --> 01:58:36.240 and for us as a company. 01:58:40.480 --> 01:58:44.240 I think that. Wait on a lot of people pretty heavily. Yeah, for sure, for sure. 01:58:44.240 --> 01:58:46.160 And there was a lot of stuff that. 01:58:50.720 --> 01:58:55.760 There's a lot of stuff that people didn't see behind the scenes that made it really hard. 01:58:55.760 --> 01:59:00.400 What we achieved, I think is we got our groove back. 01:59:02.400 --> 01:59:05.520 We're back to kind of killing it. It's always cyclical. 01:59:05.520 --> 01:59:11.040 Like I think we talked in that recent All Hands about how we're like back to before 01:59:11.040 --> 01:59:16.000 viewership and it's a little down this month. But it do be like that though. 01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.040 I think there's going to be a lot of people upgrading when 50 series comes out. 01:59:19.040 --> 01:59:24.640 I think there's going to be a lot of buzz around that. So there'll be some upswing there and then it'll be down again. 01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:26.160 It'll be up and you know, whatever, right? 01:59:31.040 --> 01:59:35.120 Yeah, just like six donor says, I'll admit I stopped watching for a while. 01:59:35.120 --> 01:59:38.320 I couldn't stand having another person I like turn out to be a monster. 01:59:38.320 --> 01:59:43.280 I was glad it wasn't true. Yeah, no, there was a there was a big. 01:59:43.280 --> 01:59:58.240 Quite a bit of that. There was a big. Yeah, there was a big group of people that just stopped watching and there's a significant group 01:59:58.800 --> 02:00:02.960 that, you know, if their comments are to be believed, have never come back. 02:00:02.960 --> 02:00:06.960 And that's sad. That's really sad. And it's still sad for me. 02:00:06.960 --> 02:00:11.840 I think it's true. Yeah, because there's also like that stuff went so far and wide. 02:00:11.840 --> 02:00:14.720 Well, you'll never be able to reach all of those people again. 02:00:16.720 --> 02:00:18.640 Yeah, yeah, really tough. 02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:25.280 As for as for what's welcome to the next quarter of a century. 02:00:25.280 --> 02:00:33.120 Oh my goodness. Yeah. Did you know Star Wars 1977 was released closer to the year 2000 than any video we made this year? 02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:44.320 I'm just going to close that topic. Why don't we move on? 02:00:45.840 --> 02:00:53.040 Yes. Yes, let's do that. There's a fake Nintendo lawyer sending out DMCA takedowns. 02:00:53.040 --> 02:00:59.280 A few months ago, YouTuber Dominic Domtendo-Newmire received DMCA takedowns on his Legend of Zelda 02:00:59.280 --> 02:01:07.920 Echoes of Wisdom Let's Play videos. However, after some back and forth with the Tetsumi Masaki proton mail.com account. 02:01:10.480 --> 02:01:14.480 Domtendo reached out to Nintendo itself who responded that the e-mailer was not using a 02:01:14.480 --> 02:01:21.040 legitimate Nintendo e-mail address. Well, yeah. A few weeks later, the YouTuber received a follow up from that same e-mail with a short message. 02:01:21.040 --> 02:01:29.840 I hereby retract all of my preceding claims. Although the threatening e-mail would start to come from a spoofed anti-piracy3 at nintendo.co.jp 02:01:30.400 --> 02:01:36.560 e-mail. Rumors of fake takedowns from Big Red last circled when Gary's mod removed all Nintendo-related 02:01:36.560 --> 02:01:40.640 fan content after receiving DMCA's originating from suspicious looking e-mails. 02:01:40.640 --> 02:01:48.160 The developer claims to have verified the source though. Nintendo and partners have also been accused of using AI tools to issue mass takedowns. 02:01:49.040 --> 02:01:53.120 That was just a quick, a quick topic. I want to talk about this one. 02:01:53.120 --> 02:01:58.720 This is called My Experience as a Winner. Turned into Disqualification by NVIDIA. 02:01:58.720 --> 02:02:05.600 This was actually flagged for me before the show, like just a just a little while before 02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:13.760 the show. It was posted six hours ago on the forum. But this poster in our community said they were officially declared a winner. 02:02:13.760 --> 02:02:17.760 And their project was publicly listed on NVIDIA platforms. They were supposed to win. 02:02:17.760 --> 02:02:20.880 Oh, winner, yeah, winner of what? I think it was, yeah, here we go. 02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:25.040 And NVIDIA RTX 6000 added generation graphics card. 02:02:25.040 --> 02:02:31.680 So like a really valuable GPU. And then after declaring them a winner and sending them through a bunch of hoops, 02:02:32.240 --> 02:02:37.280 they apparently were disqualified for reasons that 02:02:37.280 --> 02:02:41.200 NVIDIA has not apparently been able to properly explain. 02:02:41.200 --> 02:02:46.560 So they've just asked us to highlight this because I hope I'd like to assume, 02:02:47.120 --> 02:02:54.560 you know, incompetence where Malice has not yet been proven, where hopefully by 02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:59.680 getting some visibility on this, we can at least get them a satisfactory answer. 02:02:59.680 --> 02:03:05.280 So what they're asking for is if anyone from NVIDIA reads this, I respectfully ask for my 02:03:05.280 --> 02:03:08.480 project to be reviewed by a team of qualified technical experts. 02:03:08.480 --> 02:03:11.600 My only goal is to ensure fairness and transparency. 02:03:11.600 --> 02:03:15.200 Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any help that you can provide. 02:03:15.200 --> 02:03:19.120 So they provided a link to their project, to their GitHub repo. 02:03:19.120 --> 02:03:24.960 So that's on there. Just wanted to make sure that we kind of highlighted that. 02:03:24.960 --> 02:03:28.320 We like to make sure that we're taking care of our community members. 02:03:28.320 --> 02:03:32.880 And this seemed like seems like there's got to be something going on here. 02:03:32.880 --> 02:03:35.040 They should at least get an explanation. 02:03:37.280 --> 02:03:38.080 Oh, no. 02:03:43.920 --> 02:03:45.200 Do you want to do the AI stuff? 02:03:48.720 --> 02:03:56.240 Oh, no, I didn't even know this. By a vote of four to three, the Arizona State Board for charter schools approved an 02:03:56.240 --> 02:04:02.480 application to open a fully online school, which will serve grades four to eight. 02:04:03.760 --> 02:04:06.880 That doesn't automatically sound all that bad. 02:04:06.880 --> 02:04:12.480 Unbound Academy hopes to use AI to condense academic instruction into a two-hour window, 02:04:12.480 --> 02:04:18.160 which now sounds really bad, to free up time for life skill workshops covering 02:04:18.160 --> 02:04:23.520 financial literacy, public speaking, goal setting, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, 02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:28.960 and creative problem solving, which sounds great, except in theory, 02:04:29.760 --> 02:04:34.880 uh, quote, as students work through lessons on subjects like math, reading, and science, 02:04:34.880 --> 02:04:41.440 the AI system will analyze their responses, time spent on tasks, and even emotional cues 02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:45.360 to optimize the difficulty and presentation of content. 02:04:46.560 --> 02:04:49.360 That sounds ambitious. Wow. Good luck with that. 02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:58.480 Wow. That sounds like, um, that sounds like a, like a Stanley parables style, like video game level of 02:04:59.360 --> 02:05:05.920 issue when it would be applied to the workplace. And this feels like, to me, some amount of desensitization before it gets applied to the 02:05:05.920 --> 02:05:14.000 workplace, but we'll see. Unbound Academy has been trialing this two-hour learning method in Texas, seemingly in person, 02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:18.880 and has applications to open other schools in Arkansas and Utah. 02:05:18.880 --> 02:05:23.920 Experts have questioned the effectiveness of personalized education programs and have called 02:05:23.920 --> 02:05:29.920 it Orwellian, an Orwellian misnomer for replacing teachers with digital services and data mining 02:05:29.920 --> 02:05:36.480 software. Yeah. Much of the criticism stems from the lack of clarity behind the term. 02:05:36.480 --> 02:05:44.000 Yep. Personalized learning is perhaps like personalized ads, i.e. data collection, a form of double 02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:47.040 speak, says Adam, and I strongly agree. 02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:54.000 Discussion question. Do you think kids need that real connection with teachers in order to do well? 02:05:54.000 --> 02:05:57.440 I'm going to stop you right there. Yeah. Not necessarily. Oh, I do. 02:05:57.440 --> 02:06:00.640 But what they definitely need is a real connection with other students. 02:06:01.360 --> 02:06:09.920 Oh, yeah. A hundred percent. And in theory, this is freeing up time for life skill workshops covering financial literacy, 02:06:09.920 --> 02:06:13.440 public speaking, goal setting, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and creative problem solving. 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:21.040 In practice, homeschooling is an extremely poorly regulated area. 02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:27.200 I strongly recommend watching the John Oliver segment on it. 02:06:29.040 --> 02:06:36.800 Oh, cool. Yeah. And I'm not saying that you have to agree with John Oliver on everything, but what I will say is that 02:06:36.880 --> 02:06:45.120 as far as background research goes, they do a pretty darn good job. 02:06:48.320 --> 02:06:50.640 This just feels like homeschooling with extra steps. 02:06:51.920 --> 02:06:57.440 To me, it feels like if you're going to have a problem kid, it's just going to be exacerbated 02:06:57.440 --> 02:07:03.840 so much, because without someone there being able to do something about it, I don't know, 02:07:03.840 --> 02:07:07.200 what if they just frown at the AI camera for like five minutes? 02:07:07.200 --> 02:07:07.760 What does it do? 02:07:11.920 --> 02:07:17.040 Nothing? Nothing. Does it make the tasks easier because it detects kid is upset? 02:07:20.080 --> 02:07:25.520 I don't know. Assuming that every single kid is just going to do this perfectly, it seems. 02:07:26.320 --> 02:07:31.040 But I mean, assuming every kid is going to do traditional school perfectly, you know, 02:07:31.040 --> 02:07:33.280 it's not right either. Isn't that the whole reason why the teachers are there? 02:07:34.080 --> 02:07:38.400 Yes. A big part of it. But I mean, not every teacher is great. I mean, I definitely agree. 02:07:39.440 --> 02:07:42.880 One of my most frustrating experiences. Every person had at least one bad teacher. 02:07:42.880 --> 02:07:49.360 Yeah. One of my most frustrating experiences being in school was knowing from having parents who were 02:07:49.360 --> 02:07:54.640 teachers and from having my teachers who were teachers and seeing a little bit of the inside 02:07:54.640 --> 02:08:01.040 baseball knowing that competency was not necessarily the most important attribute for 02:08:01.040 --> 02:08:03.600 keeping your job and getting promotions and raises. 02:08:04.400 --> 02:08:10.880 Seniority. Politics. And that's not how things should be done, right? 02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:15.840 Anyway, yeah, good luck, Arizona. 02:08:19.280 --> 02:08:29.040 I am deeply worried about education. 02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:33.760 Top Gear said, no, there will be a baseline and it will be monitored. It won't be so easy. 02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:37.840 They graduate below level. Yeah, but you can't fail kids anymore. 02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:43.600 That's a whole thing. So like actually it totally could be. 02:08:47.440 --> 02:08:52.640 I don't know. I don't have a great answer and I'm not in that field. 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:58.080 I don't have a kid, but education doesn't feel like it's going in a fantastic direction. 02:08:58.080 --> 02:09:03.520 The node. It feels bad for the kids. The node child left behind paradigm feels like 02:09:07.840 --> 02:09:17.760 it feels sort of like a good idea or a warm idea that in practice, I just don't really 02:09:17.760 --> 02:09:21.040 understand why we're still giving it any credence. 02:09:21.040 --> 02:09:24.320 Conrad says, my mom is a teacher and says the upcoming generation is not okay. 02:09:25.200 --> 02:09:28.720 And I don't think it's their fault to be super clear at all. 02:09:28.720 --> 02:09:33.680 I think the current powers it be are setting them up for failure. 02:09:35.680 --> 02:09:36.880 I don't think it's the kids. 02:09:42.400 --> 02:09:43.920 Yeah, anyways. 02:09:46.560 --> 02:09:50.880 Yeah. Inventor2boy5 says, yeah, that's what my sister's telling me too. 02:09:50.880 --> 02:09:53.360 She's a teacher too. They are super uninterested in learning. 02:09:55.200 --> 02:10:00.480 Yeah, I'm reminded of that famous misattributed quote 02:10:06.080 --> 02:10:14.240 that is not actually from Peanuts and Linus didn't actually say this in the strip, but 02:10:16.880 --> 02:10:20.480 so good. That's pretty good. 02:10:22.240 --> 02:10:26.000 Yeah. It's stuck with me though. I mean, it feels like that, right? 02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:31.520 Yeah, actual attribution, Asada Shakur. 02:10:37.360 --> 02:10:40.720 AI outlines new for-profit corporate structure. 02:10:40.720 --> 02:10:44.560 Nice. They've outlined a plan to change their corporate structure by transforming its 02:10:44.560 --> 02:10:46.960 for-profit ARM into a public benefit corporation, 02:10:47.600 --> 02:10:51.760 a company structured to balance the interests of society with shareholder value, 02:10:51.760 --> 02:10:58.000 which should make securing investors easier. They recently completed a $6.6 billion funding round, $4 billion from Amazon alone, 02:10:58.000 --> 02:11:00.880 and currently have a $157 billion valuation. 02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:05.200 The proposed change comes after Elon Musk dropped a lawsuit claiming a for-profit 02:11:05.200 --> 02:11:11.680 structure would be illegal. Musk and Sam Altman worked together nine years ago to launch open AI as a non-profit 02:11:11.680 --> 02:11:14.720 with the mission statement to develop generative AI for the benefit of society. 02:11:15.280 --> 02:11:19.680 Musk left in 2018 after seeming frustrations over the company taking billions in funding from 02:11:19.760 --> 02:11:25.760 Microsoft. Also, failing to gain a majority stake in the company for himself might have had something 02:11:25.760 --> 02:11:29.360 to do with it. Yeah. Yeah, there's been the whole thing with the- 02:11:29.360 --> 02:11:33.200 Might have suddenly made that okay. You know, everything. Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. 02:11:33.200 --> 02:11:36.480 Anywho, that's it for our topics. Oh, Dan left. 02:11:37.120 --> 02:11:40.800 Cool. Well, we're going to switch to After Dark when Dan comes back. In the meantime- 02:11:42.080 --> 02:11:44.720 I could breed some off if you want. Oh, what happened to the- 02:11:45.680 --> 02:11:53.680 Oh, I have another GoFundMe that unlike the one we talked about earlier is not a downer. 02:11:53.680 --> 02:11:57.280 And, oh, hey, look at that. Passes cool. Let's go. 02:11:57.280 --> 02:12:03.280 Wait, did we- Oh, okay, well, I mean, you know what, that's cool. 02:12:03.280 --> 02:12:07.280 Some anonymous person yesterday donated $1,000. 02:12:09.280 --> 02:12:18.240 Reboot Rewind has a GoFundMe. You guys can feel free to resurrect this iconic animated show from my childhood. 02:12:18.240 --> 02:12:21.200 It was actually the first fully computer-animated TV show. 02:12:22.000 --> 02:12:25.840 Here's some footage. Yep, pretty awesome. You guys can check that out. 02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:27.040 There. 02:12:31.040 --> 02:12:35.120 I did not end up stalling for very long. No, I don't want me to read some off. 02:12:36.000 --> 02:12:39.360 Oh, yeah, we could do that or we could wait for Dan. They'll wait. 02:12:40.000 --> 02:12:43.360 Okay. Oh, we don't actually have a lot of time to kill, though. That's what I'm- 02:12:43.360 --> 02:12:47.760 Yeah, I kind of have to- I have to leave at some point. Okay. There aren't a ton of them either, though. 02:12:47.760 --> 02:12:50.480 Oh, has Dan been filtering a lot of them? There's only 10. 02:12:51.280 --> 02:12:58.720 Oh, okay. They, apparently, people just don't care about leaving merge messages. 02:12:58.720 --> 02:13:03.280 Yeah, because there was- Bought a lot of backpacks. I think he also was maybe pretty aggressive with the curating, 02:13:03.280 --> 02:13:04.880 because there was a decent amount of merge messages. 02:13:06.560 --> 02:13:09.360 Okay, I'll let you guys know how many discount codes are left. 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:13.680 Uh, we are down to- Oh, mental math is hard. 02:13:13.680 --> 02:13:19.200 We're down to about 3,500. So we have a couple videos that are queued to go up this weekend 02:13:19.200 --> 02:13:22.560 that have call-outs for the commuter bag. It's after dark time, Dan. 02:13:22.560 --> 02:13:26.000 And I'm a little worried that we might have to YouTube editor, 02:13:26.000 --> 02:13:28.880 like, cut out the part referring to the discount code. 02:13:30.000 --> 02:13:32.980 We'll see how it goes. It burns so many of them. Yeah. 02:13:33.920 --> 02:13:36.000 After dark code ready? Yeah. Let's do it. 02:13:37.440 --> 02:13:40.480 I must have missed a topic change. No, you're good, Dan. 02:13:41.120 --> 02:13:43.520 Don't even trip, dog. I'm tripping. 02:13:46.960 --> 02:13:49.280 Look at that. Now it's dark. So good. 02:13:50.000 --> 02:13:50.480 Dude, I- 02:13:54.000 --> 02:13:59.840 I have been an absolute lump for the last two days. 02:14:00.640 --> 02:14:03.120 I don't remember the last time I did less. 02:14:04.800 --> 02:14:08.480 I didn't even respond to social messages. Like, Luke messaged me over the holiday. 02:14:08.480 --> 02:14:12.960 Actually, with some stuff that probably merited paying attention to. 02:14:13.920 --> 02:14:18.320 I was a little surprised you didn't respond. I was like, okay, I mean, it's fine. 02:14:19.360 --> 02:14:24.000 He's probably busy. So initially, I just had a lot of family stuff going on 02:14:24.000 --> 02:14:28.400 up until the 25th, or until the 25th. 02:14:28.400 --> 02:14:31.840 And I think I've updated you on, like, 02:14:31.840 --> 02:14:35.200 my family being a little complicated right now. So that was a little- 02:14:35.200 --> 02:14:37.840 I assumed there was stuff going on. That was a little complicated. I wasn't bothered by it. 02:14:38.480 --> 02:14:42.160 And then, on the 25th and the 26th, 02:14:42.160 --> 02:14:46.400 I went and played badminton with my in-laws and my son. 02:14:47.440 --> 02:14:51.280 And other than that, did literally actually nothing. 02:14:52.080 --> 02:14:56.000 And then yesterday, I went and played some badminton 02:14:56.000 --> 02:14:59.120 in the evening because I looked at my step counter 02:14:59.120 --> 02:15:04.000 and I had, like, 400 steps. I did actually nothing. 02:15:04.640 --> 02:15:07.840 So you probably saw me on Steam, like, all day yesterday. 02:15:08.640 --> 02:15:13.120 Yesterday was my family's Christmas. Got it. So if you'd been on your computer, 02:15:13.120 --> 02:15:16.480 you would have seen me on Steam doing absolutely nothing. 02:15:17.040 --> 02:15:20.240 I am substantially ahead of you in Final Fantasy VI. 02:15:21.440 --> 02:15:25.040 And I only played yesterday and a little bit in the evening 02:15:25.040 --> 02:15:30.560 the day before. You know, it shouldn't be an always thing, but it's not a bad idea to slow down everyone's normal. 02:15:30.560 --> 02:15:33.600 I don't remember the last time that I've done it. 02:15:33.600 --> 02:15:38.080 And you know what? It was kind of glorious. But at the end of the day yesterday, I was like, 02:15:39.040 --> 02:15:43.920 really, brother? Okay. Tell me back on the horse. So I dragged my butt to Smash. 02:15:43.920 --> 02:15:47.440 I played for a couple hours, and then I jumped on the Stairmaster for 10 minutes. 02:15:47.440 --> 02:15:53.440 I found out my step rate, by the way. The speed that I'm doing is 133 steps per minute. 02:15:53.440 --> 02:16:00.000 So it says 350 watts on the thing. 02:16:00.000 --> 02:16:04.480 So I only did 10 minutes. No, but I think that's really good. 02:16:04.480 --> 02:16:10.160 I only did 10 minutes of that yesterday. But what I've been doing before, 02:16:10.160 --> 02:16:14.240 when I told you that I would cycle between the machines, is I've been trying to do half an hour. 02:16:14.240 --> 02:16:17.760 And so I've been doing, for rowing, 02:16:18.480 --> 02:16:22.400 two minutes for every 500 meters is about the pace that I target. 02:16:22.400 --> 02:16:26.160 And then for the Stairmaster, I've been doing that. 02:16:26.160 --> 02:16:33.040 So I've been doing 133 steps per minute. And then for the bike, I've been targeting about 140 watts. 02:16:33.040 --> 02:16:36.800 So that's my half an hour continuous that I've been trying to do. 02:16:36.800 --> 02:16:41.040 I've fallen off the wagon a little bit over the last couple of days, as I already told you. 02:16:41.680 --> 02:16:46.480 But when those badminton players come out here for the collab, 02:16:47.040 --> 02:16:50.800 I want to be at the point where I can comfortably do 02:16:51.600 --> 02:16:56.720 half an hour of continuous crazy cardio. 02:16:57.680 --> 02:17:02.960 We both read that at the same time. 02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:09.280 I want to be able to do 15 minutes continuous on the Stairmaster at that speed. 02:17:10.000 --> 02:17:15.440 And I didn't expect that from Rod. And then I want to bookend it with the bike and the rower. 02:17:15.440 --> 02:17:19.280 Nice. So I'm thinking I'll go, oh man, what will I do? 02:17:19.840 --> 02:17:24.000 Yeah, because the bike is really tough on the thighs too. I might have to find like a third cardio machine 02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:28.160 that's not just pure legs. Oh, isn't there an elliptical there? 02:17:28.640 --> 02:17:31.680 Oh yeah, that's true. Elliptical is your most well-rounded whole body one 02:17:31.680 --> 02:17:36.320 that you have. Okay, yeah, maybe I'll do elliptical then. 02:17:36.320 --> 02:17:40.080 So I could do... But you've got to actually operate the handles. 02:17:40.080 --> 02:17:44.560 Yeah, well I'm going to need to because my legs will be dead. So maybe I could do the elliptical last. 02:17:44.560 --> 02:17:49.280 So I could row and then jump on the Stairmaster 02:17:49.280 --> 02:17:52.240 and then do the elliptical for the last five minutes. 02:17:52.320 --> 02:17:57.440 Pull it into your... Yeah, I know. I did try out for the rowing team. 02:17:57.440 --> 02:18:01.120 Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, that's as far as I got. 02:18:01.120 --> 02:18:03.840 They did invite me. They did invite me to be the coxswain. 02:18:04.640 --> 02:18:08.160 Yeah, yeah, and loud. 02:18:08.160 --> 02:18:10.800 Yeah, oh yeah. Piercing boys. Yeah, that makes sense. 02:18:11.840 --> 02:18:17.360 All right, hit me, Dan. Hi. What big house upgrades or projects do you have in the works? 02:18:17.360 --> 02:18:21.440 I struggle with permanent modifications. For example, throwing holes in the walls. 02:18:21.440 --> 02:18:25.120 So I love watching home upgrades. Okay, okay. 02:18:25.920 --> 02:18:31.040 I am going to do this. I want to build like an epic cat wall. 02:18:32.240 --> 02:18:35.280 Like with all the like things and the things and the ropes 02:18:35.280 --> 02:18:39.360 and the things that can climb and stuff. I want the entire upstairs hallway essentially. 02:18:39.360 --> 02:18:43.120 Oh, sick. To be just like cat jungle. Jungle gym. Jungle gym, not jungle. 02:18:43.120 --> 02:18:46.240 Nice. Yeah, and I would honestly, I would... 02:18:46.240 --> 02:18:51.600 We can never close doors in our house. So I would honestly love to work out some kind of like tunnel 02:18:51.600 --> 02:18:55.120 system so they can get in and out of rooms. The problem is that... 02:18:55.120 --> 02:19:01.840 So that then you could close doors? Yeah. For my room, I do have sound isolation requirements. 02:19:03.600 --> 02:19:07.440 You know, and so... That's good, really. 02:19:07.440 --> 02:19:12.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what I was kind of thinking is maybe what we could do... 02:19:12.240 --> 02:19:16.640 You could just get like a plug. Because the cats whine if we close our door. 02:19:17.440 --> 02:19:21.760 But if we had just a hole, then there would always be sound leakage, 02:19:21.760 --> 02:19:27.120 which is not better. So what I'm kind of thinking is maybe I could... 02:19:31.200 --> 02:19:35.760 Maybe I could make like a cat thing and then they could go into like a tunnel 02:19:36.400 --> 02:19:42.160 that takes them up through the attic to somewhere else on the cat thing so they could get in and out of our room all the time. 02:19:42.160 --> 02:19:46.400 But we could just close our door. So or something like that so that there wouldn't be a clear path 02:19:47.200 --> 02:19:50.640 You could make like a baffles basically that they have to like walk through. 02:19:51.760 --> 02:19:55.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I think something like that would be cool. 02:19:55.520 --> 02:19:58.880 Don't worry, they're not going to go up in the attic and close it. 02:19:58.880 --> 02:20:02.800 Obviously. Come on, guys. Give me some credit here. Give me some credit here. 02:20:05.600 --> 02:20:09.600 Other than that, like, I don't know, fixing the roof solar. 02:20:09.600 --> 02:20:14.480 Oh, the light switches, oh man. Because we've actually had like two days off, 02:20:14.560 --> 02:20:19.840 Yvonne's been learning to crochet. Because like her husband's busy playing video games, I guess. 02:20:20.960 --> 02:20:23.040 Time to time to go full old lady. 02:20:24.800 --> 02:20:28.000 And she's been like reaming me about our horrible light switches 02:20:28.000 --> 02:20:31.280 because I need in a valley to hurry up and get me those millimeter wave switches. 02:20:32.080 --> 02:20:35.520 Yeah, I think those are the big ones. They are pretty horrible. Yeah, they are pretty horrible. 02:20:35.520 --> 02:20:37.040 Did you just turn off all the time? 02:20:39.680 --> 02:20:45.440 Next up. Sure. Clap to K24 Accord says, I'm an insulator. 02:20:45.440 --> 02:20:48.720 I always find it hilarious when parents soundproof their bedrooms. 02:20:48.720 --> 02:20:50.240 It's a very common option. 02:20:51.760 --> 02:20:54.960 Yeah, I mean, that's considerate. It's a good thing. It's considerate. 02:20:54.960 --> 02:20:58.160 Yeah, why not? It's considerate. Healthy bedrooms. 02:20:59.920 --> 02:21:04.080 No soundproofed. The kids don't have to hear all the fighting. 02:21:04.080 --> 02:21:07.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, there you go. My family friendly. 02:21:07.840 --> 02:21:11.120 Well, maybe so much worse. Actually worse. 02:21:11.120 --> 02:21:13.840 So much worse. Literally worse. 02:21:15.600 --> 02:21:20.880 Linus, look at Dan. How do the three of you individually maintain the desire and effort levels 02:21:20.880 --> 02:21:25.440 to keep working on your hobbies? How do you keep pushing yourselves to be better at your jobs? 02:21:26.720 --> 02:21:28.560 Well, you guys pushed me to be better at my job. 02:21:29.840 --> 02:21:33.360 So, so there's that. I mean, I think we also push ourselves a lot. 02:21:35.520 --> 02:21:38.560 As for maintaining effort levels for my hobbies, 02:21:40.160 --> 02:21:43.440 do I? Badminton. Badminton, I do. I do. 02:21:43.440 --> 02:21:45.600 I'm highly motivated to be better at it. 02:21:47.600 --> 02:21:50.960 It's the motivation for me is that it counts as exercise. 02:21:50.960 --> 02:21:54.320 So I don't feel like I'm wasting time when I'm playing badminton, 02:21:54.320 --> 02:21:58.560 unless I sign up for a session that's like tournaments feel like a waste of time. 02:21:58.560 --> 02:22:03.680 Those are an indulgence. If I play a tournament, I know that I'm playing like 20% of the time 02:22:03.680 --> 02:22:06.240 and I could have easily done a lot of other stuff in that time. 02:22:07.280 --> 02:22:11.440 But no, that's the easy justification. You see tournaments as like a benchmark, though? 02:22:11.440 --> 02:22:15.920 Absolutely. Check where you're at. Yeah. Oh, dude, we actually, my team, instead of coming eighth, 02:22:15.920 --> 02:22:20.720 like last year, we came ninth this year. But I actually, I don't mind that result. 02:22:20.720 --> 02:22:25.920 It doesn't actually feel like a downgrade, especially for me personally, because the only reason we're ninth 02:22:25.920 --> 02:22:29.680 is because our first match at 9 a.m. on the first day 02:22:29.680 --> 02:22:33.200 was the one that determined that we would have no shot at the top eight. 02:22:33.200 --> 02:22:38.960 Oh. Because the way the seeding worked, we were seeded two within our group of four 02:22:38.960 --> 02:22:43.840 for Round Robin and we played number three and it was close. 02:22:44.400 --> 02:22:50.000 Their team won three games, ours won two, but two of the ones we lost went to Deuce, 02:22:50.000 --> 02:22:54.160 which is, and one of the ones went to Deuce in the third set. 02:22:54.800 --> 02:22:58.560 So basically, that means that's where you're tied at the end and you have to win by two. 02:22:59.040 --> 02:23:02.640 Yeah. So it was really close. 02:23:02.640 --> 02:23:05.760 And then once that was over, that very first match, 02:23:06.400 --> 02:23:12.880 the next one was basically a walkover. We played the fourth seed and they tried hard and whatever, 02:23:12.880 --> 02:23:19.440 but there was a different class of team. And then our last one in our Round Robin was a walkover for the other team. 02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:21.920 They were the top seed and I think they went on to win. 02:23:22.720 --> 02:23:29.920 So basically, the team that we lost barely to, they weren't even eighth. 02:23:29.920 --> 02:23:35.440 They were higher than eighth. But because we lost two in our Round Robin stage, 02:23:36.000 --> 02:23:40.240 the best we could do was that and then the following day, we won all the way through. 02:23:40.240 --> 02:23:45.840 So we came in ninth. So I don't even feel that bad about it. And in that first one, I won my game. 02:23:47.120 --> 02:23:53.920 I played Men's Doubles and I played against the person that I lost to in my final game 02:23:53.920 --> 02:23:57.360 the previous year, which was what put us in eighth instead of seventh. 02:23:57.360 --> 02:24:02.320 Then I won. Cool. Yeah, there's that. Personally, I felt like it was a pretty big upgrade. 02:24:02.320 --> 02:24:08.000 I played really well. The only games I lost were the one that was against the team that won. 02:24:08.000 --> 02:24:14.400 And one of the kids that was on the other team literally plays at like a national level, like currently. 02:24:14.400 --> 02:24:17.760 I'm like, okay, whatever. I got a few points. I feel good about that. 02:24:18.320 --> 02:24:21.200 And then the other one I lost, I retired from. 02:24:21.840 --> 02:24:24.960 My team had already won. So we were just playing for fun and I hurt my back. 02:24:25.840 --> 02:24:30.240 And that was like in a lot of pain for a week or two. 02:24:30.240 --> 02:24:34.000 Like that was when I was telling you I couldn't sneeze. Like sneezing was like incapacitating. 02:24:34.000 --> 02:24:37.840 I like pulled something. I also got tennis. So I shouldn't have played that last for fun game. 02:24:37.840 --> 02:24:40.640 It was really close up until I was like, guys, I'm done. 02:24:41.200 --> 02:24:45.120 Was your ankle like a little bit messed up still at that time? Yeah, I had to wear a brace. 02:24:45.120 --> 02:24:48.560 But it didn't bother me during the tournament. Okay. But no, I was like. 02:24:48.560 --> 02:24:50.720 Three different parts of your body. Very injured. 02:24:52.480 --> 02:24:56.000 Not awesome. Yeah. And yeah. Oh man. 02:24:56.000 --> 02:24:59.120 And to be clear, I'm not going to make any excuses. They won. 02:24:59.120 --> 02:25:05.120 You know, when you retire from the match, they won. I'm just saying any match I completed or was not playing 02:25:05.680 --> 02:25:09.280 someone who, you know, it literally is like almost semi-pro. 02:25:09.280 --> 02:25:12.560 Right. I performed really well. So I was really happy with that. 02:25:12.560 --> 02:25:18.960 Yeah, nice. Yeah. Pains of getting old, dude. I hear that a hundred percent, a hundred percent. 02:25:20.000 --> 02:25:23.200 Hey, DLO. We never got Luke's answer. Oh, we didn't. What was the question? 02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:30.800 Staying motivated for your hobbies. Oh, progressive overload, incremental progression. 02:25:30.800 --> 02:25:33.600 I am addicted to those two concepts. 02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:38.000 That's pretty much it. Yeah. Getting old is going to be hard. 02:25:38.560 --> 02:25:44.720 Oh yeah. I've had this like crisis moment many times where I'm like, 02:25:44.720 --> 02:25:48.480 the thing that drives me on like everything is getting 02:25:48.480 --> 02:25:54.000 marginally better all the time. And when that inverts, oh no. 02:25:54.000 --> 02:25:57.520 I don't know what's going to happen to my brain. Well, you'll have a midlife crisis. 02:25:57.520 --> 02:26:02.800 I'm not well set up for this. Like I have self-reflected. 02:26:02.800 --> 02:26:06.320 That's why they call it midlife crisis. It's not midlife happy fun time. 02:26:06.320 --> 02:26:10.480 Yeah, fair enough. I've been thinking like I'm going to have to. 02:26:10.480 --> 02:26:11.360 You could buy a Porsche. 02:26:14.000 --> 02:26:23.280 I think I'm going to have to try to find like, like reduction of incremental decline as something to aim for. 02:26:23.840 --> 02:26:29.120 And go like, okay, looking at the math of like averages of how people tend to decline at this age, 02:26:29.120 --> 02:26:32.480 if I can beat that by this amount, that's my goal. 02:26:32.480 --> 02:26:37.120 So yeah, maybe I'll be slower or lift lesser, 02:26:37.120 --> 02:26:40.560 not be as good or score lower, whatever the metric is. 02:26:40.560 --> 02:26:43.680 But if I can have that be by a lower amount 02:26:43.680 --> 02:26:47.360 than would be expected. Yeah, just set a new benchmark. Yeah. I think that's going to be the goal. 02:26:47.360 --> 02:26:50.720 Benchmark of like sucking less. Yeah, pretty much. 02:26:51.520 --> 02:26:55.360 Let's go. I'm headed of aging since 2011. 02:26:56.240 --> 02:26:59.840 Pretty much. This has been my like, 02:26:59.840 --> 02:27:04.320 I've been planning for this strat for a long time though, because I'm genuinely very concerned about this. 02:27:04.320 --> 02:27:07.200 You can be like that weird Brian Johnson guy. Oh, no. 02:27:09.760 --> 02:27:12.960 Because you basically just described him. I guess, yeah. Got him. 02:27:13.760 --> 02:27:15.840 You're going to take 14,000 pills every day. 02:27:18.080 --> 02:27:22.080 Anyways. Yeah. Hey, DLO, I've seen more people losing access 02:27:22.080 --> 02:27:27.520 to their steam accounts after being hacked. I'm terrified of losing all my games. 02:27:27.520 --> 02:27:30.880 Well, it's the best way to protect yourself in the all digital future. 02:27:30.880 --> 02:27:32.560 Don't click on anything. Yeah. 02:27:34.160 --> 02:27:38.160 Evidence of ownership have good 2FA setup. 02:27:38.720 --> 02:27:42.400 Yeah, if you can contact support and be like, this is clearly me. 02:27:43.200 --> 02:27:46.480 Then you might have a better chance. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. 02:27:46.480 --> 02:27:50.320 So just take a picture of your driver's license and make that your Steam profile pic. 02:27:50.320 --> 02:27:53.120 Sorry, I couldn't even get that out. Don't do that. Don't do that. 02:27:54.080 --> 02:27:58.320 But it'd be funny. It would be kind of funny. But yeah, make sure you have 2FA setup. 02:28:00.880 --> 02:28:04.800 I don't know if Steam has a log out on all other systems thing, does it? 02:28:04.800 --> 02:28:09.680 Do you know? I think so. I think if you log out of Steam, it, I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure it does. 02:28:09.680 --> 02:28:13.760 Then my other theory won't. Or no, if you change your password, it'll log out of every system. 02:28:13.760 --> 02:28:18.800 Okay, yeah. Someone says SMS is not real 2FA. Yeah, I have the Steam app 2FA. 02:28:18.800 --> 02:28:23.520 Yeah. That's been good for a long time. I mean, the Steam app kind of sucks, but. 02:28:23.520 --> 02:28:26.560 No, but the fact that they have. Yes, but having it is good. 02:28:26.560 --> 02:28:30.960 Yes, yeah. Hello again, parasocial friends. 02:28:30.960 --> 02:28:35.920 I make training videos for the trucking industry, truck stops, to mechanics, et cetera. 02:28:35.920 --> 02:28:41.680 Do you think a strict structure is needed for these or would a more YouTube style approach? 02:28:41.680 --> 02:28:45.040 I guess be beneficial. I caught off. Depends. 02:28:45.040 --> 02:28:49.600 If you're really good at it, then a conversational casual YouTube style approach 02:28:49.600 --> 02:28:54.320 would be great. If you really need people to, like, 02:28:54.960 --> 02:28:59.760 if this is like for certification, you know, like if this is something that needs to be covered 02:28:59.760 --> 02:29:04.080 in a, in a dot all the Ts and cross all the Is kind of way. 02:29:06.880 --> 02:29:10.720 You might be able to mix it in that case, but you're still going to have to get pretty strict structure. 02:29:10.720 --> 02:29:15.040 Yeah. Yeah, I agree. You can, you can like have fun until you get to the, 02:29:16.160 --> 02:29:20.240 the, the T crossing and I dotting section, and then you need to be pretty strict for a bit 02:29:20.240 --> 02:29:23.520 to make it like very, very clear what the bounds are. 02:29:23.520 --> 02:29:25.280 And then you can maybe get back to having fun. 02:29:27.360 --> 02:29:30.640 Hey, LLD, what greater benefits would emerging 02:29:30.640 --> 02:29:33.760 content creators get in Floatplane compared to Patreon? 02:29:33.760 --> 02:29:36.240 Thanks for all y'all do. You could make less money. 02:29:36.880 --> 02:29:40.080 Yeah. You might like that. That's. You won't know until you've tried it. 02:29:41.920 --> 02:29:47.760 Floatplane is more of a focus on video. I haven't looked into what Patreon's done for a while on video, 02:29:47.760 --> 02:29:51.040 but Floatplane really is majorly focused on video 02:29:51.040 --> 02:29:54.320 to the point where it's probably not as good of a solution 02:29:54.320 --> 02:29:58.240 if you're not a video creator. Yeah. And, and if you're an emerging content creator, 02:29:58.240 --> 02:30:00.240 that's why specifically I'm talking to you, 02:30:01.440 --> 02:30:05.120 it's not for you. You need to maximize the money that you can get 02:30:05.120 --> 02:30:08.800 because you need it to eat and our revenue split 02:30:08.800 --> 02:30:14.320 is not going to be conducive to that. Our platform is designed for extremely high quality video 02:30:14.320 --> 02:30:18.800 and audio. And so if you are a large creator and say, for example, 02:30:18.800 --> 02:30:24.400 you were looking to like white label a platform or something like that, our revenue split 02:30:25.120 --> 02:30:28.160 is a lot more competitive. 02:30:28.160 --> 02:30:31.360 Like if your alternate is hiring a development team 02:30:31.360 --> 02:30:34.560 and building something. Yeah. We're going to look stellar. 02:30:34.560 --> 02:30:38.720 Yeah. Whereas if your alternative is like uploading unlisted videos 02:30:38.720 --> 02:30:42.080 on YouTube or Vimeo or something and then just like, 02:30:42.080 --> 02:30:46.560 I think Patreon has a native one now. I think they have a native one now. 02:30:46.560 --> 02:30:49.600 But the point is just like if your alternative is finding 02:30:49.600 --> 02:30:54.560 something free and sending an unlisted link to the people who, to the several dozen people who follow you 02:30:54.560 --> 02:30:58.960 at zero overhead, then you should do that. You know, it's horses for courses. 02:30:58.960 --> 02:31:01.280 Yeah. There's solutions for everybody. 02:31:02.160 --> 02:31:05.280 We like Floatplane. A few other people on the platform seemed really like Floatplane. 02:31:05.280 --> 02:31:11.280 There's also a lot of benefits to Patreon. The split is generally better, but it also entirely depends. 02:31:12.000 --> 02:31:17.360 Like if you, if you, if you set your price to the right price 02:31:17.360 --> 02:31:20.560 on Floatplane based on how we do our costing, 02:31:20.560 --> 02:31:22.640 you can get a better split than there is on Patreon. 02:31:24.560 --> 02:31:29.200 Most people won't do that, but it is possible because we just have, sorry. 02:31:30.080 --> 02:31:33.520 No, I had something, something upside down stuck in my throat. 02:31:33.520 --> 02:31:36.880 We have our costs are like fixed for creators. 02:31:36.880 --> 02:31:40.720 So if you, if you balloon, like if you have a super fancy, 02:31:40.720 --> 02:31:46.400 expensive Omega tier, but it doesn't take any extra from us 02:31:47.600 --> 02:31:51.680 because we have a limit on our features, obviously, then we don't take more. 02:31:51.680 --> 02:31:56.160 So you could theoretically take more, but then you're asking for a lot from your audience at that point. 02:31:56.160 --> 02:31:59.840 So most people aren't going to do it. So yeah. Unless you have like fee picks on there or something. 02:32:00.560 --> 02:32:04.800 True. We would, we would, I don't think we have anything 02:32:04.800 --> 02:32:08.800 against fee picks technically. And we don't really discriminate. 02:32:08.800 --> 02:32:12.480 It's not a serious conversation, Luke. We don't have to talk about that. I'm being real, man. 02:32:12.480 --> 02:32:16.480 I'm being, you don't know. Maybe, maybe. He's trying to sell this Linus. 02:32:16.480 --> 02:32:19.440 Maybe the, maybe the, what would you call the top credit? 02:32:20.080 --> 02:32:26.400 The top foot is watching us. What would you call the top creator in the fee picks category? 02:32:27.440 --> 02:32:30.880 I tell you, put your foot in your mouth, but the servers probably couldn't handle it. 02:32:30.880 --> 02:32:35.920 The big toe says UCL Buffalo. 02:32:35.920 --> 02:32:39.440 The big toe! UCL Buffalo in full frame chat. 02:32:39.440 --> 02:32:43.920 Just won it. You don't know. Maybe the big toe is watching, man. 02:32:43.920 --> 02:32:46.720 We got to, we got to make sure they know that they would be welcome here. 02:32:47.520 --> 02:32:51.120 Because we don't, yeah, we don't really, as long as it's legal, we don't really discern against creators. 02:32:54.640 --> 02:32:58.400 All right. Let's see. Hello, Dan, Lin and Luke. 02:32:58.960 --> 02:33:01.280 What is the average amount of versions of product 02:33:02.480 --> 02:33:07.520 go through for product revs and development? 02:33:07.520 --> 02:33:12.320 Yeah, you just, you got it. I think the, I think the backpack 02:33:12.320 --> 02:33:15.360 was about half a dozen each for the commuter and the original. 02:33:16.080 --> 02:33:20.560 We've been told by our suppliers that we go through an obnoxious number of product revs 02:33:20.560 --> 02:33:24.080 and it's actually caused some strain on our relationships sometimes 02:33:24.080 --> 02:33:28.080 where we'll do half a dozen product revs and just be like, no, it's not good enough. 02:33:28.080 --> 02:33:33.760 They don't like to hear that. If you don't go to mass production, essentially they subsidize their sample production 02:33:35.520 --> 02:33:40.240 with the assumption that you're going to go to mass production. From my point of view, I'm like, that's stupid then. 02:33:40.240 --> 02:33:44.320 Just tell me how much it costs to make a sample and I'll be happy to, but it's not that simple, right? 02:33:44.320 --> 02:33:46.160 There's an opportunity cost on their side. 02:33:47.840 --> 02:33:52.160 But yeah, I would say somewhere between four and seven 02:33:52.800 --> 02:33:56.720 is a boat where we're at on revisions for products. 02:33:56.720 --> 02:34:03.600 Some a lot more for something like the screwdriver. 02:34:03.600 --> 02:34:06.880 We might go through that many revisions for every part, right? 02:34:06.880 --> 02:34:11.600 That many revisions for the ratchet, that many revisions for the mold. 02:34:12.800 --> 02:34:16.560 And so the overall number of revisions goes up exponentially, 02:34:16.560 --> 02:34:22.400 the more parts there are in a product. But for socks, I think from like 10 or 12 02:34:22.400 --> 02:34:25.760 or something like that, I think we're close though. I think we're close. 02:34:27.040 --> 02:34:30.240 The blue samples that I've, do I have them on? 02:34:31.040 --> 02:34:34.080 I don't. The blue samples I've been wearing recently are really good. 02:34:36.960 --> 02:34:41.280 Hello, LDNL. What are your thoughts on containerization? 02:34:41.280 --> 02:34:45.200 I talk about my interest in it at work. All my coworkers think it's dumb. 02:34:45.840 --> 02:34:48.640 What are some other cool things you guys do with it? Who thinks it's dumb? 02:34:49.680 --> 02:34:54.240 Where are your coworkers? Yeah, really. I don't know. Your coworkers that you talk to about this 02:34:54.240 --> 02:34:57.520 know what it is and think it's dumb. I don't really understand. 02:34:57.520 --> 02:34:59.840 I don't know anyone in the field that thinks it's dumb. 02:35:01.600 --> 02:35:09.200 Genuinely, zero people. I've never met a single person. They want the whole system to crash when like monolithic only. 02:35:09.200 --> 02:35:12.800 To the point where when I was reading this, I was like, wait, do they mean like physical containers? 02:35:12.800 --> 02:35:17.760 Because I've never met a single person. Far be it for me to criticize someone 02:35:17.760 --> 02:35:20.960 who sent a $120 merch message. 02:35:20.960 --> 02:35:24.720 But are you just like baiting us? Like maybe. 02:35:24.720 --> 02:35:28.320 Because I'm not sure if I believe you. 02:35:28.320 --> 02:35:30.080 Show this to your coworkers. Yeah. 02:35:31.440 --> 02:35:34.480 What are they talking about? Maybe they just don't know what it is properly. 02:35:34.480 --> 02:35:40.480 Like maybe it's more of an education problem. Yeah, maybe they use a different term for it or something. 02:35:43.760 --> 02:35:46.400 Maybe they think you said a bad word and then, Aner. 02:35:46.960 --> 02:35:50.800 What's the matter? Okay, I like it. What's the matter? In full plain chat said, 02:35:50.800 --> 02:35:55.840 Prime and Theo both complain about Kubernetes and Docker. Yeah, sure. But the solutions that they like are, 02:35:56.640 --> 02:36:02.320 as far as my understanding goes, generally running on systems where the containerization is just detached from them. 02:36:02.320 --> 02:36:06.800 It's still happening from the service provider. They just don't have to deal with it themselves. 02:36:07.440 --> 02:36:10.800 Because they don't want to do infrastructure. So they just use other services to do it, 02:36:10.800 --> 02:36:13.840 which is great and popular. And like, I mean. 02:36:13.840 --> 02:36:17.840 Still containerization. We use Vercel for the Labs website. 02:36:18.880 --> 02:36:22.560 Vercel is still doing containerization stuff, I'm sure. It's a concept. 02:36:23.520 --> 02:36:28.720 That's what I'm like. Yeah, my co-workers think programming is dumb. 02:36:30.320 --> 02:36:35.200 And like, yeah, it sucks sometimes. Like, I can totally understand why Prime and Theo might be like, 02:36:35.200 --> 02:36:40.320 yeah, this sucks. You shouldn't waste your time doing this. As someone who's just trying to spin up a website, 02:36:40.320 --> 02:36:43.280 you should use this service thing. Like, great. 02:36:44.160 --> 02:36:48.960 Yeah, you probably shouldn't develop your own personal store in 2025. 02:36:49.840 --> 02:36:52.800 Because like Shopify exists, and you should just use that. 02:36:54.320 --> 02:36:56.480 That doesn't mean containerization is dumb. 02:36:57.680 --> 02:37:00.720 That means that you might not want to be the person 02:37:00.720 --> 02:37:03.280 who's interfacing with it, depending on what you're doing. 02:37:04.480 --> 02:37:10.560 We use Kubernetes to great effect with Flowplane. That was not the right approach for the Labs website. 02:37:14.400 --> 02:37:17.360 Cool. Oh, dude. Nick just messaged me. 02:37:17.440 --> 02:37:22.000 We have removed the discount messaging for the commuter bag 02:37:22.000 --> 02:37:25.760 from the Sunday and Monday releases. He doesn't think they're going to make it that long. 02:37:27.760 --> 02:37:30.800 That's crazy. He says he thinks it's going to be gone tomorrow. All right, we'll see. 02:37:31.760 --> 02:37:32.960 Obviously, I hope he's right. 02:37:34.800 --> 02:37:40.800 All right, LLD. My work recently banned third and personal monitors citing 02:37:40.800 --> 02:37:43.920 security concerns, but always allow personal monitors work 02:37:43.920 --> 02:37:48.640 from home two days a week. What do you think? Same computer office and work from home. 02:37:49.200 --> 02:37:52.560 Phones are allowed on site. Now, your coworkers are stupid. 02:37:56.160 --> 02:37:59.440 I'm assuming this is an IT team currently fighting policy. 02:38:00.240 --> 02:38:06.800 You can link them to this video, by the way. You can tell them that Linus says that you made them look stupid. 02:38:08.080 --> 02:38:12.960 By laying out, they're horrible, horrible policy. 02:38:12.960 --> 02:38:17.360 That actually makes me question whether they are competent enough to run any sort of business at all, 02:38:18.640 --> 02:38:21.360 let alone one that uses technology. 02:38:23.600 --> 02:38:25.680 Freaking dunked. Actual idiots. 02:38:26.720 --> 02:38:28.800 That is not how any of that works. 02:38:30.400 --> 02:38:34.320 Banned third and personal monitors. Yeah, so they can't have a third monitor. 02:38:34.320 --> 02:38:39.600 And they can't bring monitors from home. And they can't bring a personal monitor. Okay, I can understand not wanting people to bring monitors from home. 02:38:39.600 --> 02:38:44.800 But you're allowed to use your personal monitor at home. Yeah, but bringing a personal monitor into the workspace. 02:38:44.800 --> 02:38:50.000 I can understand why that might be. It's a liability. It's not to bring a phone. It's a liability, but not a like... 02:38:50.000 --> 02:38:53.040 If you're allowed to, like, look, security issue. You leave this at the office. 02:38:53.040 --> 02:38:57.040 I don't let people bring their own lenses and tripods and monitors. This is what I'm saying. 02:38:57.040 --> 02:39:00.400 But it's not even liability. It's just like, because that's stupid. 02:39:00.400 --> 02:39:03.760 If you need something to do your job, then the workplace should provide it. 02:39:03.760 --> 02:39:07.600 It's that simple, right? But so it's nothing to do with security concerns. 02:39:07.600 --> 02:39:11.200 If you are allowed to have your own personal phone with you, 02:39:11.840 --> 02:39:16.160 everything else is out the window. Because that is the easiest vector. 02:39:16.720 --> 02:39:24.480 Picture. Like what? I'm going to bring a special secret magic monitor with a raspy embedded in it 02:39:24.480 --> 02:39:29.680 so I can use an HDMI RF snooping on the cable signal, 02:39:29.680 --> 02:39:33.520 beam it to my spy espionage office across the street. 02:39:36.320 --> 02:39:41.680 Obviously. Yeah, because there's obviously workplaces where that shouldn't be allowed, 02:39:41.680 --> 02:39:44.960 but they almost certainly also wouldn't allow you to bring phones in. 02:39:44.960 --> 02:39:48.240 Yes. So like, yeah. 02:39:48.240 --> 02:39:51.360 They said they use the same PC at home, so laptop. 02:39:51.360 --> 02:39:55.520 Okay. But they're allowed a personal monitor. 02:39:56.560 --> 02:39:58.480 So who cares? At home. Yeah. Yeah. 02:40:00.560 --> 02:40:06.080 If you can have a phone, you can have essentially your own computer at work. 02:40:06.080 --> 02:40:12.080 They just haven't figured it out yet. Is this like a have your cake and eat it too thing? 02:40:14.400 --> 02:40:18.160 What? Like they don't want to buy people extra monitors, 02:40:18.160 --> 02:40:22.160 but they also don't want to be like that workplace that you have to bring your own monitor to. 02:40:22.160 --> 02:40:24.320 So they're just like, you're not allowed and also no. 02:40:25.600 --> 02:40:30.000 Could be. Maybe. Yeah. This could be one of those things where they're just hiding behind security concerns. 02:40:30.880 --> 02:40:34.720 So there's no real, I mean, okay, there is real security concerns. 02:40:34.720 --> 02:40:40.080 They're just also ignoring all the other bigger, more obvious ones. Yeah. I think that I think that if they're, if they want to be honest, 02:40:40.080 --> 02:40:44.640 they should just say no, because if other people see you with a third monitor, 02:40:44.640 --> 02:40:49.440 they won't ask you if you brought it from home, and they're going to whine and complain until they get a third monitor. 02:40:49.440 --> 02:40:53.200 And that's not in the budget. Everyone gets two monitors and I just don't feel like dealing with it. 02:40:53.760 --> 02:41:02.080 That's the more honest answer, probably. Yeah. Almost always there is the reason why you can't have something nice 02:41:02.080 --> 02:41:05.600 is because someone else fucked it up. Oh yeah. Almost always. 02:41:06.080 --> 02:41:12.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always so frustrating. Or, or your workplace is a bunch of cheap butt heads. 02:41:12.560 --> 02:41:16.160 It's super frustrating when you're on the like administration side of that 02:41:16.160 --> 02:41:21.040 and you see it happening and you're like, man, I really wish this person would stop because if they don't stop, 02:41:21.040 --> 02:41:26.720 I'm going to have to do something about this. Yeah. But this has worked fine for years and years and years, 02:41:26.720 --> 02:41:31.120 because no one's pushed it past this limit. And then you like try to get them to stop and they just won't. 02:41:31.120 --> 02:41:34.400 And then you have to kill it for everybody and it just sucks. 02:41:34.400 --> 02:41:38.480 I remember having like tough conversations with you about stuff 02:41:38.480 --> 02:41:43.040 that we like can't do anymore and you're like, well, that's stupid. Yeah. I'm like, trust me. 02:41:43.760 --> 02:41:47.040 I know how stupid it is more than you ever will. Yeah. 02:41:47.840 --> 02:41:51.600 Yeah. It's frustrating. There's nothing I can do about it. It's frustrating. 02:41:51.600 --> 02:41:56.080 Because like there, you can, you can interact in good faith in a certain way. 02:41:57.680 --> 02:42:01.440 But you have to be careful about it because other people might see it 02:42:01.440 --> 02:42:05.760 and then interact with that thing in bad faith. And then it gets turned off for everybody. 02:42:05.760 --> 02:42:11.920 And it's happened a bunch of times. I can, I know I cannot give you examples for reasons that I hope would be obvious. 02:42:11.920 --> 02:42:18.720 Oh, here's a good one. Good comment from Chronified. I'd be willing to bet they're using monitoring software and it has a two-monitor limit. 02:42:18.720 --> 02:42:21.760 So for the work from home setup, it's a laptop with only one display out. 02:42:21.760 --> 02:42:24.800 That's a good hypothesis. I like it. I like it. 02:42:26.160 --> 02:42:29.760 I mean, the fact that you have your phone still is like stupid or whatever. 02:42:29.760 --> 02:42:34.480 So it says personal siting, but allows personal monitors work from home two days a week. 02:42:35.680 --> 02:42:38.080 They might have a way of doing more than one display. 02:42:42.640 --> 02:42:45.680 Okay. I don't know. That is interesting though. 02:42:47.680 --> 02:42:51.280 Why are you so popular today? I don't know. He's so popular. 02:42:53.280 --> 02:42:57.440 All right. Hey, Dan. Sure. I was just waiting for the interruption to stop. 02:42:58.320 --> 02:43:09.760 I would like to game single co-op games from my PC to my living room TV. 02:43:09.760 --> 02:43:12.960 There are around 60 feet apart. How would you guys solve this? 02:43:14.000 --> 02:43:21.600 Optical HDMI cable and probably a USB over Ethernet adapter. 02:43:21.600 --> 02:43:28.560 We showed USB two ones that are cheap, like 10, 15 bucks cheap that can easily do that distance. 02:43:29.760 --> 02:43:39.760 That would be the highest fidelity way. The low fidelity, but probably easier way with less wiring would be to just use streaming. 02:43:39.760 --> 02:43:43.600 So you have a thin client and just use like steam in home streaming or whatever. 02:43:43.600 --> 02:43:51.920 They've rebranded it to steam link or whatever they call it now. What tech were you most sad to see flop or fall out of fashion? 02:43:51.920 --> 02:43:56.480 I really wish phones with physical keyboards were still improved and made mainstream. 02:43:57.280 --> 02:44:01.920 Hold on. Before we move on, UCR Buffalo says why not HDMI to Ethernet adapters too? 02:44:01.920 --> 02:44:08.960 Because by the time you do that, you've added all of the cost and complexity of an optical cable, except you're paying for copper now. 02:44:10.000 --> 02:44:14.880 Fiber is actually cheaper by the foot. It's just the media conversion that's expensive. 02:44:14.880 --> 02:44:19.680 So if you're going to have media conversion, a lot of the time, unless you need to be able to service it in the field, 02:44:19.680 --> 02:44:28.720 like if you're doing live events or something like that, there's no reason to use like HDMI over Ethernet instead of just HDMI over fiber. 02:44:31.600 --> 02:44:36.480 Also, a lot of the HDMI over Ethernet stuff is not like 4K 120, 02:44:36.480 --> 02:44:41.680 whereas you can get fiber optic HDMI cables that will allow you to do the full HDMI 2.1. 02:44:42.480 --> 02:44:46.080 No, not any leg difference that I'm aware of. 02:44:46.080 --> 02:44:49.840 It just doesn't make sense in the home. 02:44:50.720 --> 02:44:54.000 Okay, sorry. What were you most sad to see flop or fall out of fashion? 02:44:54.000 --> 02:44:57.200 I mean, 3D is on my mind. So I'm going to go with that. 02:44:57.200 --> 02:45:00.800 I'm going to go with that because I've seen some glasses-free 3D that's really good. 02:45:00.800 --> 02:45:04.640 Like we could have gotten there. We just, the content's not there anymore. 02:45:04.640 --> 02:45:14.320 This person said physical keyboards on phones. I don't agree with that, but I do agree with physical key inputs practically everywhere else. 02:45:15.360 --> 02:45:19.680 There are some good solutions, like I'm assuming the one in your car is right. 02:45:19.680 --> 02:45:25.680 It's okay, but actually almost everything else is trash, especially public things. 02:45:26.960 --> 02:45:30.400 Public things that are touchscreen just like- I don't like touching them. 02:45:30.400 --> 02:45:34.720 No. And occasionally you get ones that have like good rejection, 02:45:34.720 --> 02:45:39.120 and I can't use my knuckle on them because I don't want to touch them with my fingy tips. 02:45:39.120 --> 02:45:42.560 Like I was a germaphobe before it got cool in 2020. 02:45:42.560 --> 02:45:50.320 I don't like touching things. I don't like shaking hands. Like one year I stopped shaking hands at CES and immediately I stopped getting trade show illness. 02:45:50.320 --> 02:45:57.520 Yeah, I do the same thing now. Okay, brilliant. I used to be able to press physical buttons with like your keys or something. 02:45:58.320 --> 02:46:02.880 Yeah. And now you have to touch screen and tons of them are terrible. 02:46:02.880 --> 02:46:08.560 So you have to do the input like a billion times and one of the nice things about physical keys 02:46:08.560 --> 02:46:12.000 is that they almost always do actually work. Yeah. 02:46:12.000 --> 02:46:18.080 And with touchscreen keys, it's often not a very good indicator of if it actually worked or not. 02:46:18.720 --> 02:46:25.840 So you sit there, touch, touch, touch, touch, touch. Oh my god. Okay, that's going to defeat the purpose of using my knuckles in the first place for things. 02:46:25.840 --> 02:46:27.600 You could spit on it. You could hawk to it. 02:46:30.080 --> 02:46:33.440 Hawk touch it. There's a reference that makes me old, I guess, probably. 02:46:33.440 --> 02:46:35.040 Yeah, that's not a fashion now. It's very slow. 02:46:36.880 --> 02:46:41.600 Anyways, yeah, physical buttons on random things. 02:46:41.600 --> 02:46:45.520 I think high-end touch screens having physical, having touch screen buttons is fine. 02:46:45.520 --> 02:46:50.400 So phones is fine. There's probably some cars that are fine, but there's also some cars where it's terrible. 02:46:51.680 --> 02:46:54.160 But in general, just like physical buttons would be better. 02:46:56.080 --> 02:47:00.880 Yeah. Japan does this super well, by the way. 02:47:01.840 --> 02:47:04.080 A lot of their stuff is still physical buttons, and it's very nice. 02:47:05.040 --> 02:47:08.320 I still think their train ticket kiosks could be improved. 02:47:08.880 --> 02:47:11.760 I agree. Regardless of button type. 02:47:12.880 --> 02:47:19.440 But I like the buttons. I'm working my dream job at a big tech data center. 02:47:19.440 --> 02:47:24.480 Nice. The work is fulfilling and amazing, but there are moral implications to working for a major 02:47:24.480 --> 02:47:29.920 tech company. Oh, so he works for Amazon. Do you have advice for my moral conflict? 02:47:30.560 --> 02:47:37.200 There's lots of other data centers you could work at. Also, it could be worse. 02:47:37.200 --> 02:47:42.720 You could work for an evil company like Linus Media Group, who didn't tell anybody about any... 02:47:46.000 --> 02:47:51.040 Dry your tears with money. That helps. Some amount of it's like, you got to survive yourself. 02:47:51.360 --> 02:47:58.000 Slashes! And a lot of people will put their own, as I sort of am right now, will put their own... 02:47:58.000 --> 02:48:01.120 Just making sure. Making sure we all are up to speed on that. On you. 02:48:01.120 --> 02:48:04.800 So you have to decide where your line is. Your line is? 02:48:05.840 --> 02:48:06.880 Oh my goodness. 02:48:09.920 --> 02:48:13.600 Get it? Line is? Linus? Anyways. I get it. It's just not funny. 02:48:13.600 --> 02:48:17.280 Yeah, fair enough. No, no, I missed it. I missed it. I didn't do it intentionally. 02:48:17.280 --> 02:48:20.400 I was busy waiting for chat to actually... 02:48:21.040 --> 02:48:24.240 For the people that didn't hear the segment earlier on the Honey stuff, 02:48:24.240 --> 02:48:26.880 to be like, OMG, is that what you really said about it? 02:48:27.920 --> 02:48:34.240 For those of you who weren't watching earlier, what we said was, hey, we don't really know what you're talking about. 02:48:34.960 --> 02:48:38.720 We didn't know almost any of this stuff at the time. 02:48:38.720 --> 02:48:42.400 And we dropped the sponsor years ago. If you're mad, that's great. 02:48:42.400 --> 02:48:47.040 You should be mad. Be mad at Honey. Be mad at their parent company, PayPal. 02:48:47.440 --> 02:48:53.280 Yeah. There seems to be a perception out there that what you invest in 02:48:53.280 --> 02:48:58.960 and the job that you have should have zero reflection on you at all. 02:48:58.960 --> 02:49:05.040 And I don't completely agree with that. I understand that sometimes you're in a life situation where you just don't have another option. 02:49:05.040 --> 02:49:09.120 You don't have the luxury of just taking a stand. 02:49:09.120 --> 02:49:12.800 Yeah, so that's one thing. And I am not shooting at that at all. 02:49:12.800 --> 02:49:19.120 But I will say for myself, I've had extremely lucrative potential job offers that I have not wanted to take 02:49:19.120 --> 02:49:22.480 because of where they were at. And I didn't take them. 02:49:24.400 --> 02:49:30.480 So like, it's not impossible. And like, I heard from an awful, because I mean, you were here. 02:49:31.600 --> 02:49:34.480 And we didn't make a video about Honey. 02:49:36.560 --> 02:49:43.680 So like, I don't know, it's possible. I also know people that had very good solid jobs 02:49:43.760 --> 02:49:47.440 and then took a job somewhere that they didn't like the company 02:49:47.440 --> 02:49:52.080 and complain about it all the time. And I'm like, this is entirely your fault. 02:49:52.080 --> 02:49:55.280 Are you just calling me out? Yeah. 02:49:55.280 --> 02:49:58.960 The prime example is Dan. Have you been reading my blog? 02:50:01.200 --> 02:50:05.440 But yeah, like, I don't know, you should care at least a little bit. 02:50:05.440 --> 02:50:09.680 If it's your only option, it's your only option. I'm not trying to dig you for that. You got to put food on the table. 02:50:09.680 --> 02:50:13.040 But if you have a range of options, 02:50:13.600 --> 02:50:17.040 life isn't just about making more and more money 100% of the time, 02:50:18.320 --> 02:50:21.520 in my opinion. Yes, it is. Which is why I never made a video about Honey. 02:50:23.600 --> 02:50:26.960 Because yeah, because you had some form of financial gain there, right? 02:50:26.960 --> 02:50:31.120 Yeah, for sure. For sure. It's not that Honey was stealing my money. 02:50:31.120 --> 02:50:35.040 Loosing the ad sense on that video was very financially beneficial to you. 02:50:35.040 --> 02:50:38.480 You mean the affiliate revenue? Yeah. 02:50:38.480 --> 02:50:42.160 No, on the Honey exposure video. Oh yeah, for sure. 02:50:42.160 --> 02:50:47.600 Yeah. Not making that money and also not exposing someone who was stealing from me. 02:50:47.600 --> 02:50:51.040 Yeah. Yeah, that was definitely my motivation. It really lined your pockets. 02:50:51.040 --> 02:50:55.600 You got it. Dude, the number of times that I see people be like, 02:50:57.600 --> 02:51:03.040 how is it that Linus spent so much money on this, 02:51:03.760 --> 02:51:06.560 but he couldn't afford $500 to test something? 02:51:07.680 --> 02:51:11.520 They're so close. They're so close to the answer. 02:51:12.160 --> 02:51:14.880 They just need a little nudge. Oh man. 02:51:17.120 --> 02:51:22.080 They're almost there. It's almost like they're nothing to do with each other. 02:51:24.160 --> 02:51:27.200 All right. Next up. Hello. 02:51:27.200 --> 02:51:30.960 I love being an internet personality. I'm amazed if you haven't just lost it. 02:51:33.440 --> 02:51:34.320 You don't know that he hasn't. 02:51:37.680 --> 02:51:42.640 He hides. These are crazy eyes. He hides it well on camera at least. 02:51:43.360 --> 02:51:45.760 Hello from the other. I beat him off camera. 02:51:46.960 --> 02:51:49.520 Watch him cower. Where the hell's Dan? 02:51:51.120 --> 02:51:54.880 This is me cowering. I don't know why it's pointing over there. Why is it so dark? 02:51:54.880 --> 02:51:59.520 You've let me down for the last time, Dan. Pointing the camera in the wrong place. 02:51:59.520 --> 02:52:03.440 Don't make me throw things at you again. Which I have actually done. 02:52:03.440 --> 02:52:07.520 And Luke has. Yeah. Yeah, Luke actually almost hit him that one time. 02:52:07.520 --> 02:52:10.080 Did I? I think so. Yeah. Oh, nice. 02:52:10.880 --> 02:52:14.000 You threw an entire CPU cooler at me once. He probably had it coming. Me? 02:52:14.000 --> 02:52:18.080 Yeah. I actually did when Luke threw something at it. That was actually extremely warranted. 02:52:18.080 --> 02:52:22.160 So yeah. I think I apologized. 02:52:22.160 --> 02:52:25.280 Is it victim blaming if the victim blames themself? I think so. 02:52:25.280 --> 02:52:28.640 No, that was actually. Is it Stockholm syndrome or something? Not okay. 02:52:29.200 --> 02:52:31.520 The other times have been unwarranted. But that one was like. 02:52:33.040 --> 02:52:36.320 And to be fair, I threw like a small little coaster. 02:52:36.320 --> 02:52:37.360 Yes, that's right. 02:52:39.360 --> 02:52:44.560 Hello from the Netherlands to Linus. Do you have any motorcycle specific tech you love? 02:52:44.560 --> 02:52:48.000 If I may, what bike do you ride? I have an SV650S. 02:52:48.000 --> 02:52:51.120 It's a 2003. But what bike I ride? 02:52:51.840 --> 02:52:55.760 Well, none because it's in pieces. It has been for two years. 02:52:57.040 --> 02:53:00.240 I'm going to do it this time. I'm going to do it this time. Is it going to be rusty? 02:53:00.240 --> 02:53:03.280 No, I'll be fine. Yeah, I took a long time off before and it's like 02:53:03.280 --> 02:53:05.840 whatever you just, it's like. Riding a bike. 02:53:08.480 --> 02:53:15.040 I don't really have any motorcycle specific tech. I use a pebble for track changing because it has. 02:53:15.760 --> 02:53:18.400 Physical buttons. Sure does. And you've got gloves on. Okay. 02:53:19.280 --> 02:53:24.160 Makes sense. Time and place for physical buttons. And on the motorbike is definitely one of them. 02:53:24.160 --> 02:53:26.080 Yeah. Oh, no. 02:53:28.480 --> 02:53:31.520 What? Did we both click archive at exactly the same time 02:53:31.520 --> 02:53:34.160 and accidentally archive two cards? Nice. 02:53:35.440 --> 02:53:39.040 Nice. So weird. My chat's not updating. 02:53:39.920 --> 02:53:43.200 So I missed everything that chat had to say. 02:53:44.400 --> 02:53:45.520 Oh, well, I'll live. 02:53:48.800 --> 02:53:51.200 Just give me a sec here. Let me see if I can find it. No, I won't. 02:53:52.000 --> 02:53:55.600 Anonymous asks Linus, what was your favorite game server or community back 02:53:55.600 --> 02:53:59.280 when you were younger? What's your favorite memory from there? 02:54:00.080 --> 02:54:03.680 I mean, it's got to be the NCIX gaming server. 02:54:03.680 --> 02:54:06.240 Shout out Deathhawk. You know who you are. 02:54:08.000 --> 02:54:11.760 For me, I'm going to answer this anyways, even though I wasn't asked. Playing that Left 4 Dead. 02:54:11.760 --> 02:54:15.040 Playing that TF2. Let's go. No life in it. 02:54:15.040 --> 02:54:18.160 I think it was Halo 2. Oh, yeah. 02:54:18.160 --> 02:54:21.760 I used to play a bunch with some dude named U Talk Corshia, 02:54:21.760 --> 02:54:23.360 which I've never been able to find again. 02:54:26.080 --> 02:54:30.960 Sorry. That's pretty good. But I used to be a part of a community on there. 02:54:30.960 --> 02:54:35.040 It was mostly myself and U Talk Corshia, but there was some other people involved as well, 02:54:35.040 --> 02:54:37.760 where we would just try to glitch everything. We'd try to glitch out of maps. 02:54:39.200 --> 02:54:42.240 We figured out that the rocket-to-sword switch thing, 02:54:42.240 --> 02:54:48.560 I think that was literally us. And there's a bunch of other cool things, too. 02:54:48.560 --> 02:54:52.320 Whatever the name of the map was, it was really, really small. It was a covenant ship. 02:54:52.320 --> 02:54:57.440 There was a floating platform. Linus map. There's a floating platform in the middle. 02:54:58.640 --> 02:55:01.120 The platform's a penis. It's really small. 02:55:02.640 --> 02:55:06.560 Have you just been spending too much time in this pool? I've been spending too little time sleeping. 02:55:07.440 --> 02:55:13.360 I think that's it. And we spent way too much time, because we were kids, 02:55:13.360 --> 02:55:17.200 but getting these containers to go all the way up the ramps 02:55:17.200 --> 02:55:20.720 to where the floating platform was, and we had to time it perfectly, and we screwed it up a few times. 02:55:20.720 --> 02:55:23.120 So you're saying you put a box on the penis? 02:55:23.760 --> 02:55:26.800 Kind of. Nice. Yeah, two boxes. Two boxes. 02:55:26.800 --> 02:55:30.640 Wow. Yeah. Same time. That was actually the whole... 02:55:31.280 --> 02:55:34.880 That was a very important part of the equation. That's the physics of this. 02:55:34.880 --> 02:55:38.640 It sounds painful. It's tough. It's difficult. Okay, I'm sorry. What was the thing? 02:55:38.640 --> 02:55:43.280 What is it doing? We got the boxes all the way up the ramp, and then we had to get them onto the floating platform at the same time, 02:55:43.280 --> 02:55:47.200 and that would slam the floating platform in the ground, which would horrifically glitch the whole map out, 02:55:47.200 --> 02:55:51.600 and it was amazing. We were only able to do it once. We're probably the only people that did it, I'm assuming, 02:55:51.600 --> 02:55:56.000 because it took forever, and it was really, really stupid. I forgot about that really fun gaming session you and I had, 02:55:56.000 --> 02:55:58.800 taking the Warthog cases it wasn't supposed to go. That was a blast. See, that's... 02:55:59.760 --> 02:56:02.880 Everything I love about... I almost just said flow plane. 02:56:02.880 --> 02:56:06.160 Everything I love about Halo is just breaking Halo in horrific ways. 02:56:06.160 --> 02:56:09.840 Nice. Yeah. Well, there's also the music. 02:56:09.840 --> 02:56:12.320 That's music. Music is pretty good. 02:56:13.520 --> 02:56:17.760 Oh, so good. Care for a diagram? I could do like a horrible paint drawing, 02:56:17.760 --> 02:56:19.840 but I really don't think it's worth it. Yeah, you took the default. Yeah. 02:56:21.920 --> 02:56:24.160 Did we find it? Yeah. 02:56:25.920 --> 02:56:30.320 What? Cool. Well, thanks for tuning in to the WAN Show. 02:56:30.320 --> 02:56:33.520 Find what? The message we were looking for. 02:56:33.520 --> 02:56:37.600 That's the one. He read it. He beat me to it. Oh, what? That was there on my dashboard. 02:56:37.600 --> 02:56:39.840 Yeah, it was there on my too. What? 02:56:42.880 --> 02:56:47.280 All right, we'll see you again next week. Same bad time. Same bad channel. 02:56:48.320 --> 02:56:48.800 Bye. 02:56:54.240 --> 02:56:55.840 So this is what gaslighting is. 02:56:58.560 --> 02:57:02.000 Well, then. No, it's not. Damn it. You're wrong. 02:57:02.560 --> 02:57:05.920 There's a leak. And if you're wrong, you deserved it. 02:57:07.040 --> 02:57:10.240 Gaslighting's not real. Crazy. 02:57:10.240 --> 02:57:11.200 It is. You made it up. 02:57:13.680 --> 02:57:14.400 Oh, man.
