00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,560
Luke Laugher. All right, guys. Welcome to the WAN

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,719
Show. Got another great show for you guys. I'm sure we've done a great show

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,599
once before at the very least. Oh, wow. They turned around the screen on the

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,240
camera. That's going to be really distracting. That's kind of weird. I don't think I can I don't think I cannot

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:22,000
look at it. Um, hey, one of the uh Hey,

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,600
thanks David. What's wrong with looking at it? Well, no. If you look at it, then

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,400
you're going to look slightly off. Yeah. It's kind of like if you're having a conversation with someone like this,

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,440
like, "Hi, James. How are you today? But it's also kind of weird if you just look

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,360
into the lens too much for too long. People get mad at that, too. No, they

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,520
yelled at me once on a video. Who gets mad about that? Yeah. Okay. Well, what

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,040
happened was I was trying to read the script, and it was the first time that

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,440
it wasn't a tech link or a tech wiki, and I actually had to interact with a product I was using. So, I was trying to

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:55,440
read the teleprompter, which is right in front of the lens, and then I was trying to look away sometimes at the thing, and

14
00:00:52,559 --> 00:01:00,719
hold it and present it. Yeah. and I was not skilled enough to go from that back

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,399
to my spot on the scrolling text. And so

16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:05,280
I kept screwing up. So when the final edit came through and the editor was

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,799
done putting it all together, all the takes that worked, every take that

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,560
worked was one where I looked right in the lens without blinking. So the final

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Hi everyone, I am talking about this product. I am not a robot. I am a whoan.

20
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,360
The final video was super penetrating and like every all the comments were

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,439
like, "Man, you need to look away once in a while. Blink once in a while." I

22
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,759
was trying guys. Okay, I can see that. But wow is a more conversational format.

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,000
So this is one of those things where uh sorry guys, we will really get to topics

24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,600
relatively quickly today. But we're sorry we look the show is having a

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:44,000
conversation. Okay, so it's one of those things where it's context dependent. So depending on what type of video it is,

26
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:47,119
sometimes it's really important to maintain eye contact the whole time.

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,880
Like when I was working on the video this week about the red mags, that was

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,119
the kind of video where because I am

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,719
having a conversation with the person across the table from me who just

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,719
happens to be a camera. It's important to maintain eye contact because guys,

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,759
we're trying to have a real chat here. We're trying to demystify something,

32
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,360
especially if it's a more sensitive video like after your I what iPhone 10

33
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:14,959
or something review when you you made a subsequent video that was like, "Look,

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,840
we kind of screwed up in these ways. I didn't want the video to come out the

35
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,120
way it did come out and you're having like a frank discussion with the audience. Yes, it's important to

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:29,599
maintain eye contact. It's just it's a matter of respect. Whereas when you are

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,400
like when you're like if you can imagine something that was like more of a um

38
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,879
like a narrative type contact content where the characters are interacting

39
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:42,080
with each other and it's like hi James, it sure is a pleasure to be uh meeting

40
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,959
with you here today. That's right Lionus. I can't wait to have a show

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,840
where we actually talk about tech. So, it's all it's all context dependent. So,

42
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:56,640
we do have a bunch of great topics for you guys today. Uh, Amazon accidentally

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,879
sold $13,000 plus camera gear for $100

44
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:02,319
on Prime Day, which wouldn't be much of a W show topic. there wouldn't be a lot

45
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:07,360
of discussion there except that I can actually talk about my experience being

46
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,360
on the other end as opposed to the consumer who got a great deal being the

47
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,120
product manager who accidentally priced something for onetenth of what it was

48
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:20,560
supposed to be. Um so we'll discuss that. Uh we've also got Neurolink, Elon

49
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Musk's brain interface company applying to the FDA for human trials. I already

50
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:30,799
have mine. He wants to wear that. Um, are you you saying you want me to cover

51
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,480
up my my world's greatest dad shirt?

52
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:35,599
You've got the world's first and second greatest dad. There are some people in

53
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,519
this office that find that t-shirt offensive.

54
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:42,560
Like, if you got one for me, too, and we could both wear it. I didn't. It was a

55
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,920
gift. If we were if we were co-world's greatest dad, I might feel slightly less

56
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:53,040
personally attacked. There's only one greatest one goat. And we're also going

57
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:56,720
to cover Facebook's finally getting the fine of $5 billion. Well, actually,

58
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:01,200
they're not, but that's the announced amount. Yeah, it still hasn't gone

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,640
through, but 5 billion. See if that number matters. Roll the intro. Roll the

60
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,640
intro.

61
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,840
It's lagging apparently again. I I don't I just don't get it. I We streamed for

62
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,280
half an hour on the test channel. I'll send that off.

63
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Yeah, please do cuz this is getting ridiculous. Um, like we can't be using

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,560
this exact computer to stream on the test channel and then have Squarespace.

65
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,160
That doesn't make any sense. Um, for those of you watching on YouTube, we

66
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,280
would strongly recommend heading over to twitch.tv/Linus.

67
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Um, yes, I can. I can do that if I if YouTube can't figure out their live

68
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,000
streaming, then people can go watch on Twitch. The stream's fine over there.

69
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Um, so we're multireaming. We did a half an hourong test on our other channel and

70
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,639
it was fine. So, honestly, I don't know what to tell you guys. We have no idea

71
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,720
what the problem is, but it's clearly not our internet. Uh, clearly not our

72
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:03,440
rereaming service because that's working to Twitch on this one and to our test

73
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:04,560
YouTube channel. Um, and so, yeah, we

74
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,840
don't know. We've got the settings identical between them. Um, it's apparently only some people, so there's

75
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,360
people in chat that are saying there's no lag. So, all I can tell you guys is

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,160
if you are experiencing lag, twitch.tv/linist. Um, we're also having

77
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:21,680
some lag issues on Floatplane. Those are unrelated. Those are Floatplane

78
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,720
related. We have to change from uh Nimble video streamer to a different one

79
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:32,800
because basically there's too many of you now and it's we have to make

80
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,160
something new. So, um, thanks so much

81
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:40,520
for your support is pretty much what I'm Tell your

82
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,880
friends, but get them to trickle in. Yeah. Um, Luke's gonna have some really

83
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,280
cool Floatplane news next week, but for now, I think the best thing that we can

84
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:55,039
do is uh jump right into our highlight topic for the week, which is of course

85
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:56,320
the pricing errors on Amazon's Prime

86
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:02,000
Day. Now, this isn't something you noticed when you guys were doing your Prime Day stream. No, it wasn't. Um, but

87
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:06,319
did you did you cover any camera gear? No, we didn't. So, this was posted by RC

88
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,919
Mel, I think is how I pronounce that. I'd like to just the hell just for the

89
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,160
record. Yeah, you have one of the my most hated names on the forum. I do. No,

90
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,759
this this person I was like, it's just my name. I'm doing the W. Why can't you

91
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,240
stop? Why won't you stop attacking me?

92
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:26,720
You're a You're a bad dad. You have a crap name. You're not a bad dad. You're

93
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:31,280
just not the world's greatest anymore. I've been doing this for three weeks

94
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:33,120
now. You hate RC May. I've been doing

95
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,240
the Wand do for like a year and a half or something like that or maybe even two

96
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,880
years and this person posts all the time

97
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:45,280
and I still have to spell and like look and spell the name. It just makes no

98
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:51,120
sense in my mind. I can't remember how to spell it ever. So, thanks dude. Maybe

99
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,280
it's RC May HL, you know? Like maybe

100
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,199
we're missing something here. Anyway, do you want to want to run us through what

101
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,360
happened? So on Prime Day, some users, not everybody, but some people saw weird

102
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,960
prices for lots of different camera gear. So, and this is on the same item.

103
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,280
Like two different people would see a different price for the same item. They

104
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,520
all saw the same price, but it wasn't the intended price. Got it. So, it

105
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,560
started out on one item in particular, and then people noticed that it was

106
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:22,560
actually on lots of different items, and it was always the price of $948,

107
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,160
right? And then uh so there's a forum that a lot of these like deal seekers

108
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,400
use called Slick Deals. Slick Deals has been around forever actually. You can

109
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:33,520
get Slick Deals over there. The sickest. You know what's funny? I'm going to

110
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,919
totally derail you here cuz I'm rude like that. Um we had thought about

111
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,240
create you know how Linus Tech Tips doesn't have an award program. Like we

112
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:48,080
don't have like a like a loyalty program. No no no not a rewards program.

113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,479
We don't have an award program. like when we review something, we won't be

114
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,919
like four and a half stars out of five, recommend to buy and like we don't have

115
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,960
like a little badge designed for that. I I just I don't know. It's always felt

116
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,280
kind of silly to me and we don't do it. But we had considered doing one at one

117
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,120
point just because we had the best possible names for what the awards would

118
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,680
be. So Luke and I were each going to have separate ones and um it was going

119
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:17,199
to be I can already imagine there was going to be this list. Okay. Lionus's

120
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:22,160
likes with like a thumbs up like modeled after a Facebook style thing and then

121
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,479
Slick's deals. Oh, that's pretty good. So, we figured like, okay, if we were

122
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,280
going to have an award program, it would have to be cringey like that, but then

123
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,080
we just kind of never got it off the ground. Anyway, carry on. Yes, Slick Deals. It's a website. Yeah, they posted

124
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,240
on the forum there and then it kind of spread and lots of people got in on it.

125
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,159
Apparently, a lot of people made orders and some people's orders have been

126
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:46,160
fulfilled. So, some people realized that they were getting slick deals and tried

127
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:52,240
to make the best of it. Like, there was this one guy, he bought like $10,000

128
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,800
worth of stuff for $900 worth of real

129
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:00,320
money and then uh Wow. some of it got deliver got actually delivered to him.

130
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:04,320
But what happened was Amazon itself with a completely separate system flagged his

131
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:09,040
credit card because they thought someone was was using it maliciously like just

132
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:13,440
you've never bought 10 cameras before. So they shut it down. So only some of

133
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:16,399
the stuff in his cart. Oh, I think maybe maybe he did one order and then he made

134
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:21,120
a new cart and then that one would didn't get fulfilled. So he got kind of

135
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,839
stymied for a different reason. But yeah, some people got off with a ton of

136
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:31,760
sweet gear. So there's things like Sony A6000 kits, uh,

137
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:36,320
A6500s, 10 to 18 millimeter bundle, um,

138
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,519
a $2,000 Sony A7 body, Sony A9. All this

139
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:43,360
stuff. Apparently there was like a $13,000 big one of those giant lenses

140
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:49,360
that people use to zoom in on birds. All of this stuff for like $94.

141
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,839
Holy crap. I mean, to be clear, the the

142
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:56,480
person talking about the $13,000 lens wrote that um Oh, no. Another member

143
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,839
wrote regarding their Canon EF Oh, no. This is 800 millimeter. Yep. Uh, waiting

144
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:07,279
for the cancellation, but that's like 99% off. Um, others reported that they

145
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:12,240
successfully price matched gear at retailers like Best Buy.

146
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:17,440
So, that is crazy cuz I have seen other times where on like I think it was um

147
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:22,320
like a Boxing Day thing y where someone had a crazy deal and then the other

148
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,360
local retailers just said, "No, we're not doing it. It's too crazy." They

149
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,839
wouldn't order. They wouldn't match it even though it was their policy. So,

150
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:36,320
going back to my days uh as a product manager at an online retailer, um one of

151
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:41,440
my one of my big mistakes um early on in my career as a product

152
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:46,480
manager was actually on a Mountain Mods case. I remember it pretty well. Um and

153
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,920
I was pretty new to the product management team. I only had basically

154
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:56,959
the only product lines that I was allowed to handle were the ones that

155
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:02,000
were not really worth anyone else's time. Like they were either very high

156
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:08,240
touch um so very very time consuming with a lot of like nitpicky stupid crap

157
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,480
or very low margin or like completely

158
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,920
deadlines that someone else had like just abandoned and just didn't feel like

159
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:19,680
dealing with anymore. So they just kind of got shed over to me. That's how you

160
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,440
get baptized in fire pretty much. Like I

161
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:27,920
started out trying to make a name for myself uh with water cooling and like

162
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,200
weird fringe vendors and Mountain Mods

163
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,959
was one of them. So here I'm just going to switch over to my screen here. So

164
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:38,240
Mountain Mods actually still exists and it's really funny that Case Labs made so

165
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:44,640
much noise about how their designs got ripped off by Thermaltake because to my

166
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:50,000
knowledge, now I could be wrong. correct me in the chat, but as far as I know,

167
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:55,680
Mountain Mods has been around a heck of a lot longer than Case Labs, and they

168
00:11:52,880 --> 00:12:00,320
are the original cube case. I feel like if there's some kind of like tech like

169
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,240
the Force, like Star Wars Force, you can sense all the keyboards around the world

170
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:08,160
clacking right now to try to investigate this for us. Someone's going to have an

171
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:13,440
answer. I know, right? So, Mountain Mods, um, it was one of their Ascension

172
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:17,600
cases, I think. Uh, basically they're like kind of a modular case maker. Um,

173
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:23,680
and the big problem for them was that their shipping prices into Canada sucked

174
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:28,720
donkey balls. So any Canadians that wanted to buy a Mountain Mods case

175
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:32,959
couldn't really get one at a reasonable price because they're already super

176
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,120
expensive because they're uh made in the US still to my knowledge, including the

177
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:43,760
actual metal fabrication and powder coating. Um, it looks heavy. And they

178
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:44,880
are heavily um kind of customizable.

179
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,680
They're actually not that heavy. They're aluminum. Um, so they're heavily

180
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:53,680
customizable. Uh, they're big and they ship preassembled, so they're like

181
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:58,000
freaking huge. And all the accessories are like super expensive and there's all

182
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,600
these different options. Um, and shipping cross border was a little bit

183
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:07,360
tougher back then. Man, their site still sucks. Okay, there we go. Okay, so let's

184
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:11,680
just grab like a YouTube UFO is kind of like their OG case. It's changed a lot

185
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:16,079
over the years, but I'm willing to bet the pictures on here are from like the

186
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
NF Force 2 days. Like, it really wouldn't surprise me. Look how slow this

187
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,600
freaking site is, though. You guys might be love hugging it right now. Um, what

188
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,959
does that mean? Love hugging it. like I bring it up and then everyone like goes

189
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,240
to their site just to like check it out and it's not used to that kind of

190
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:38,000
traffic because they're this super weird little niche vendor. Um so anyway, yeah,

191
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:39,040
these are like 360 to $400 cases and as

192
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,279
soon as you start adding some accessories like you know uh a dual

193
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:47,680
power supply mount or like a fancy grill for your radiator or whatever the case

194
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:51,120
may be, they get really expensive. And um part of the other problem with them

195
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:55,200
is that because they're highly customizable. So, when you click on one

196
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,959
of the cases, you'll have all these different options for like different

197
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,519
motherboard trays and uh different drive mounts and all that kind of crazy stuff.

198
00:14:01,199 --> 00:14:07,519
Um, it was a really really ch I'm finally bringing it back. It was a

199
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:14,160
really challenging line for me to manage because unlike a Corsair case where it's

200
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,160
like this is a 580X. It comes with all

201
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:21,120
the things a 580X comes with and is compatible with the things a 580X is

202
00:14:18,079 --> 00:14:24,399
compatible with. I had to kind of

203
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:28,160
pre-make the decision for our customers

204
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:31,279
what color, what finish of that color,

205
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:34,199
what mounting options in order to kind

206
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:39,600
of try to have something that is preconfigured in our warehouse that

207
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:42,480
makes sense. And if I made a bad gamble,

208
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:48,000
like if I decided that we wanted UV orange acrylic Windows, then if if we

209
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:52,000
were stuck with dead stock of that, I had to go rip all those UV orange ones,

210
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:55,920
order some clear ones, put them on myself. Like, no one was going to help me with this crap because they all

211
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:59,040
thought it was a total waste of time. Ultimately, carrying Mountain Mods was

212
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,760
actually a total waste of time. We didn't end up making a ton of money on it, but uh you know, we tried. We tried

213
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,639
Mountains and they're they're cool guys. Like just to be clear, um I actually had

214
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:12,959
Mountain Mods um even after we weren't really buying cases from them anymore. I

215
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:17,440
had them powder coat my case for my personal rig because I just absolutely

216
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:20,079
love their powder coat finish. It's just it's fantastic. Was that available to

217
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:24,720
everybody? You could just send yours in and they would finish it and send it back. I have no idea. They did it for

218
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,399
you. They did it for me though. Nice. Hey, I'm I'm I'm all about I'm all about

219
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:34,880
working the angles, man. You know that. I was just like, "Hey, so, uh, if I like

220
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:40,240
disassemble I don't like your cases that much. I like my case, but I really like

221
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,040
your paint finish. Um, can I send it to you?" And they did it for me. It looks

222
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:47,040
beautiful to this day. I actually still have that case in mothballs. Uh, in case

223
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:52,720
I ever don't have like a rack mounted gaming machine, I'll probably go back to it. Now, can you speak to the other side

224
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,880
of this issue in terms of when we see this and like the the spin that all

225
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,320
these articles have is that this was a cool freak occurrence where you could

226
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:04,880
get the stuff super cheap, which is amazing for anyone involved who got to

227
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,880
be there and and got to buy stuff super cheap. And anyone who missed out is

228
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:12,880
super regretful. But no one talks about the perspective of the retailer who's

229
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:18,560
like, "Man, we just lost a lot of money." This was a $500 case Canadian

230
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:21,519
our cost. um cuz the US dollar was actually quite a bit stronger against

231
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,959
the Canadian dollar at that point in time. So, what happened was I wanted to

232
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:32,440
price it at I think I was even trying to blow them out. Like I was trying to get

233
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:35,040
rid of them. Um so I had them at I think

234
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:38,399
$499.99 or something like that. So you're just trying to break even and

235
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:45,360
liquidate these. I'm just trying to flip them. Um so I accidentally put a decimal

236
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:48,000
in the wrong place. Now it's funny. We

237
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:53,120
actually ended up developing a system later on down the line that would

238
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:58,959
highlight red uh highlight yellow and then highlight red anything that was

239
00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:00,720
marked uh 10 or 20 like some some

240
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:03,920
percentage. I think it was yellow if it was below cost and then red if it was

241
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,959
significantly below our cost. So if it's abnormal it could fly it. So it'll so

242
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,240
that you'll visually see it on your sheet and you can go do a manual double

243
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:13,039
check. But that system didn't exist up until that time cuz apparently they

244
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:19,600
called it the Linus system. Yeah. everyone else who had worked there before that just never made boneheaded

245
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:25,160
entry errors. Um, but anyway, I accidentally entered uh 49.99.

246
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Mhm. And the system did manage to autocorrect that I had an extra

247
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:37,559
decadated the extra nine and then it was 50 bucks. And it was 50 bucks for a $500

248
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:44,080
case. Now there were okay because it was such

249
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:49,679
a weird niche item like if we had accidentally priced a hard drive or a

250
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:53,600
CPU or something like that high volume a

251
00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:55,520
high volume item at 10% of the price we

252
00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:00,160
would have noticed immediately because like our servers would have gone down.

253
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:04,000
Oh no, you know we would have had 10,000 people on the site trying to order that

254
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,880
freaking thing. So, you're saying this was a silent killer and no one noticed

255
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:13,760
for weeks? No, no, we noticed the next day because every order at NCX at that

256
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,080
time was actually like the the credit card processing was manually reviewed by

257
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:23,559
a team of people. Um, so they went through, brought it to the CEO instead

258
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:29,200
of coming and talking to me about it. Thanks, Dr. No, you know who you are. um

259
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,760
brought it straight to the CEO instead of coming and talking to me about it

260
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:35,240
first and was like, "Hey, what's up with

261
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:40,400
this? We're losing uh $450 an order on on this item. What is

262
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:46,880
this? Does this seem like sound business to you?" Oh, man. So,

263
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,640
um I get So, so here's kind of the dark,

264
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:54,080
you know, the other side of this. So, I get called into the president's office.

265
00:18:51,840 --> 00:19:01,200
I am a very junior product manager at this point. Um, I probably haven't made

266
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,919
$5,000 for the company at this point and

267
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:07,039
we've got 10 orders. Oh, really? Now, it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have

268
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:11,039
been because someone actually had seen it the night before and pulled it out of

269
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:17,280
the sale. Um, and I don't even know if we had 10 units in

270
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:20,880
stock, but basically it was it was five

271
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:23,520
grand, which to me to a lot of people I

272
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:30,559
think is a lot of money, right? $5,000. A lot of money. Sure. Um, and he kind of

273
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:36,240
he was like, "Sit down." I was like, "Oh, boy." And he goes, "So, here's what

274
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:42,960
here's the situation. What are we going to do about this?" And I was like, "Why

275
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:45,200
are you asking me? I don't know. What

276
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:50,720
are we going to do about this?" And I was like, "I I I'll call them and I'll

277
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:57,200
I'll explain. I'm sorry. We we can't do that. Our bad." and he's like,

278
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,280
"No, we're gonna honor it. We're gonna

279
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:04,400
eat it this time, but that's your training budget

280
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,559
for the year. Don't do it again." And I

281
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,559
kind of

282
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:13,760
went, "So, so even if you didn't have 10

283
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:17,200
in stock, say you had seven in stock, y you ordered the other three and

284
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:21,360
fulfilled them because those ones could have been easily cancelled." If I recall

285
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:25,120
correctly, the ones we didn't have in stock, we canceled the orders, but the

286
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:31,039
ones that we did have in stock, we ate it. Yeah. So, I think we had close to

287
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:33,840
however many we sold. Um,

288
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:37,360
and apparently this gear was being sold and shipped by Amazon. So, actually

289
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,720
would have been Amazon and eating this and an Amazon employee getting the talk

290
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:46,320
like that you had. So, I guess here is, you know, you'll you'll you'll hear a

291
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:54,400
lot of people talk about these kinds of pricing errors. um from a very um I

292
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:55,679
would say selfish perspective, they'll

293
00:20:54,400 --> 00:21:01,600
say, "Well, yeah, maybe you should have made that mistake then." Um to which I

294
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:07,480
would respond, "Okay." Um what's your job? Are you a uh I don't know, are you

295
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:13,840
a a construction worker? Are you a a drywaller? Are you a a chef? are you uh

296
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:19,280
you know whatever whatever it is um if you were to make a mistake that's that

297
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:23,840
easy to make if you were to put a nail into the wrong spot remember you are

298
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,960
just a cog in the machine I'm not saying that you run the company because in our

299
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:36,080
case the CEO was in a position to make a decision like let's lose $5,000 today

300
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:38,240
you know so you're just a cog in the

301
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:45,400
machine if you were to put a nail in the wrong spot 3 in to the right.

302
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:48,640
Um, should you just lose

303
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,760
$5,000? I'm talking about the triviality

304
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,480
of the error that was made and the total

305
00:21:51,760 --> 00:22:00,080
consequences. So, you know, on the one hand, yes,

306
00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:04,240
advertising a false price is bad and

307
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,039
actually in many cases illegal. But in

308
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:11,840
this case, um, I would argue that in some ways the

309
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:19,440
consumer knowing that that price is obviously not correct and predatorally

310
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:21,360
ordering something is not in the right

311
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:26,559
either. Even though their action is completely legal, I would say it is not

312
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:30,240
really ethical. Sure. But there's yeah everyone knows

313
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:34,159
that uh you know everyone throws around this term of late latest late stage

314
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:38,200
capitalism. Capitalism is great. It's the most successful distribution like

315
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:43,679
wealth distribution system we've ever invented. But there are some dark sides

316
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,120
of it that result in oligopies and and

317
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:49,200
all sorts of other things and and siloing of wealth and stuff like that.

318
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:53,200
And I think because those dark sides of capitalism exist when things like this

319
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:59,919
happen in favor of consumer I'm kind of just like today it worked for me.

320
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:05,280
Yeah. Do two wrongs make a right? I mean, that becomes, I think, a bigger

321
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:07,360
debate at a certain point.

322
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:14,440
Do you think there's anyone who uh benefited from this sale who would go,

323
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:17,280
"Ah, you know what? Cancel the

324
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:21,440
order. This I don't deserve this $5,000 camera." Well, I think they would say,

325
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:27,679
"Yeah, go ahead." Uh, well, okay. I think it takes a particular type of

326
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,679
person to go and like uh again, you

327
00:23:27,679 --> 00:23:36,360
know, when I talk about being predatory, I'm not talking about ordering the $500

328
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:39,200
camera for $100.

329
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:42,480
That's maybe believable. You know, you might not even look that closely at it.

330
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:48,559
You might think it's it's a it's a betock one, the $13,000 lens for $94.

331
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,960
Yeah. or or going and ordering, placing six or seven separate orders, trying to

332
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:59,039
get as many of them as you can. Like ultimately, that is it's not stealing

333
00:23:57,039 --> 00:24:02,720
because someone is voluntarily giving it to you. But I'm going to go ahead. I'm

334
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,200
going to say something super controversial and I'm going to say by

335
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:11,080
the same logic, you know, the the settlers here in North America didn't

336
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:16,880
steal land from the Native Americans then because they in many cases gave it

337
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:20,480
up voluntarily not realizing or understanding what the deal they were

338
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,840
making was. Like I would make the argument that that retailer or that

339
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:30,480
provider of product didn't know that that was what was happening and that's

340
00:24:27,919 --> 00:24:34,799
clearly predatory. Well, it's a little different because

341
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,120
this is probably an error. But as a

342
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:42,799
parent, if you found out that your kid got was one such person that got the

343
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,240
$13,000 lens for it, you would make you

344
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:51,360
would have to talk to and make them return it. Y interesting. Sucks for your

345
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:54,240
kids. Is there a line where like, okay,

346
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:58,400
if they get the $500 one for $100? Yes. That's kind of justifiable. Yeah. To me,

347
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:02,960
it's believable. If they get one that's like $2,000 for $100, you're making them

348
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:06,640
return it. But if they get something extreme that you're like, "Okay, don't

349
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:10,320
tell anybody that's crazy." Like you get you just keep it. Like if they find a

350
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:13,760
duffel bag of like a billion dollars, several dollar truck, if they find like

351
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:22,000
a duffel bag of money that's like $3 million in it, you're like, "Okay, just don't tell anybody. Let's just move."

352
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:25,760
See, that's the thing. Okay, it's still unethical,

353
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:28,640
but if I found a duffel bag of money on the street, I've actually I've actually

354
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,039
thought about this. I have theory crafted this for myself. If I found a

355
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:38,799
duffel bag of money on the street, I'm going to use an arbitrary number, but let's say it has $5 million in it. And

356
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:44,400
I'm talking Canadian rupees, so it's not like, you know what? No, let's say 5

357
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,880
million US. Okay, $5 million US. Now, my

358
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:51,440
first instinct, wait a second. Yeah. Can we just do then? You have to fence US

359
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,039
dollars to Canadian and stuff. Can we just make it whatever your home currency is? You find a bunch of money. Okay,

360
00:25:54,559 --> 00:26:01,919
fine. You find 5 million US equivalent in your home currency. So for us, that's

361
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:04,400
about $6.5 million. Okay, we good. Sure.

362
00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:10,240
All right, we can go forward now. So, okay, I find $5 million in a bag. Now,

363
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:15,679
my first instinct is actually fear. Yeah, sure. Why is this here? Who's

364
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:19,200
watching it? Um, you know, I I open it because I'm like, you know, let's say I

365
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:23,200
open it because I'm earnestly trying to return it to the owner, right? And I

366
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:27,360
open it and I'm like, "Holy crap, it's full of money." Um, there's no

367
00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:31,200
identifying information in it whatsoever. Right. So, you are supposed

368
00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:36,960
to turn it into the police. That's what you're supposed to do. Is that a law? I

369
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:44,880
believe so. Yes. um you have to give it to them to give whoever lost it some

370
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,720
reasonable amount of time to claim it

371
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,919
and then after that I believe theoretically it's supposed to be

372
00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:53,440
forfeited back to you but I think in the cases of very valuable or very large

373
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:58,240
sums of cash that might not necessarily be the case um and it might just go to

374
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:02,400
the crown well you're you can you can be relatively sure that it's laundered

375
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:07,520
money or dirty money anyway you can be relatively sure of that yes

376
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,840
So with that in mind, even though it's

377
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:14,000
unethical, I I thought about this actually like on a plane ride. I'm

378
00:27:11,919 --> 00:27:16,960
pretty sure my course of action I was like lying awake one night. I couldn't

379
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,200
sleep and I was like I don't remember why it came up. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The point is I'm

380
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:28,320
pretty sure this is what I do. I would take it home and I would bury it

381
00:27:24,919 --> 00:27:31,279
somewhere. Just I would just bury it and

382
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:36,080
I would wait for some very long period of time. If someone came looking for it,

383
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,720
I'd want to have it all because I don't know who's showing up for it. Could be

384
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:45,240
cops, could be drug dealers, could be human traffickers, no idea. But whoever

385
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:51,039
they are, I I want some kind of credible

386
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:55,919
plausible deniability story about how I was I was keeping it safe and trying to

387
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:59,279
get in touch with whoever owned it. Here you go. Go away. Please never talk to me

388
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:04,640
again. You probably get beat up, but they might but they might kill me. Yeah.

389
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,960
Okay. Okay. So, after some period of

390
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:11,440
time, let's say 18 months, 2

391
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,399
years, I'd keep it. I'd keep it. It

392
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:18,320
would be unethical and I would know it's unethical. But given who the victim was,

393
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:22,480
we're not talking some random blue collar worker who's just trying to do their job. We're talking probably drug

394
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:28,320
dealers and human traffickers or whatever. We're talking $5 million in a duffel bag. There's no legitimate reason

395
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,640
for that to exist. Um, given who the victim is.

396
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:37,600
Yeah, it's good. I don't care. It's a good plan. I like it. I don't know that

397
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:42,080
I would go to my house first. I might just drive around. I don't know.

398
00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:44,880
Okay. You know what? Actually, that's I'm not going to be like, "Oh, now that

399
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:49,120
you say that, yes, I did think of that. I actually did I had considered that. I

400
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:53,840
would I would want to make sure I didn't have a tail." Um but but I would end up

401
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,679
at my house eventually and I would bury it at my house. Would you pick it up

402
00:28:55,919 --> 00:29:02,640
right away or would you just go and sit down at a bench within eyeshot for Oh, I

403
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:06,240
would pick it up right away. I'd pick it up right away for sure. But then what I

404
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:12,000
would do is I would pick it up right away and I would wait nearby with it. So

405
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,039
that way if someone were to show up and I'd be like sitting on my phone or

406
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:19,039
something. If someone were to show up, I'd be like, "Oh yeah, I totally noticed

407
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,520
that this was very weird." And I was looking in the news to see if like who

408
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:28,240
it might go back to. And I was I was about to call the police. Here you go.

409
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:34,799
We're super cool, right? Bye. Like I would I would pretend that I was at

410
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,720
least making some kind of naive. Just

411
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:41,480
Just don't kill me. Playing dumb. Yeah. Just don't kill me. Playing dumb is not

412
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:41,480
a bad bet.

413
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,279
Well, how did we get on this? If you if you

414
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:51,279
got one of those cameras, I say keep it. You're a good person. I remember when I

415
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,880
was in in university when terabyte hard drives were first coming out, there was

416
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,760
an error like that. I forget what company it was, but they were going for

417
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,679
like 60 bucks or something like that, which was a steal at the time. And yeah,

418
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:06,880
I regretted not being able to cash in on it.

419
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,320
Okay, but remember too, that's that's 60

420
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:15,919
bucks. Like it's somewhat credible. And besides, there's a difference between ordering one and

421
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:19,039
ordering 20. So actually yeah, one's

422
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:21,440
smarter. So, pricing errors would happen

423
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:24,799
fairly often at NCIX. And I can tell you right now, if you're the guy that orders

424
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,760
one, we were far more likely to let it go. And if you were the guy that orders

425
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:34,399
10, we were far more likely to tell you to go cram it up your butt. You get

426
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,039
nothing. Because the thing that you got to understand is in any case like this,

427
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:43,760
it's always a judgment call. And they're going to make a decision case by case

428
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:46,880
basis. How much was this our fault? How

429
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,440
much is our total overall loss? Um, how

430
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:54,320
much of a complete a-hole is this particular individual being about it?

431
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:57,200
Like if someone came to us and was like threatening to Am I supposed to drink

432
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,520
out of this? You can if you want. It's yours. Is it good? Well, it's not mine.

433
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,720
Oh, it's it's brand new. Oh, yeah. Right. Uh, we're launching a new one.

434
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,399
There's ice in here, too. Check it out. New water bottle. There's ice in this.

435
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Yeah. They don't come with ice. No, they don't come with ice. They don't come with bath water, either, thankfully. So,

436
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,600
this is the new limited edition. I don't

437
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:22,640
know. We might make more of them. You never know. But we didn't do that many of them. But this is the Stealth Linus

438
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:27,760
Tech Tips water bottle. So, gone is the orange logo in is the matte black logo.

439
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:32,720
Well, it's actually kind of a glossy black, but the whole thing's Oh, this is the design that I was like, "Yeah, do

440
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:36,159
this one." Yeah. Sweet. So, we decided to do both. Um, but we did the orange

441
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,919
one first, and then we just had them. The orange ones are selling so well that

442
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:43,640
we were like, "Okay, let's do more orange ones." And what the hey, let's do

443
00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:46,640
a stealth one, too. So, ltstore.com. You guys are going to want

444
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:52,240
to check that out. It's the same price as the other one. I like stealth. Yeah. And there's a deal. Oh, right. And

445
00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:57,519
there's a deal. Bundle. I forgot about that. Okay. So, this week is the Stealth

446
00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:00,559
bundle. I don't have to actually give them an offer code, do I? Nick, it's

447
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:05,519
automatically applied. Automatically applied. So, all you got to do is scroll

448
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:10,960
right past the underwear or don't and buy that, too. Yeah. Or buy

449
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:13,360
that, too. Um, and go ahead and add to

450
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:17,399
the cart the stealth hoodie in your size of choice. God damn it. How cute is

451
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:22,480
Colton, isn't he? The Stealth water bottle, which

452
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:30,600
we'll have pictures later. Which we'll have pictures shortly, but it looks like this. You guys saw it. And the LTT hat

453
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:34,159
in black, which I love. And bippity

454
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:36,159
boppity well bundle. Boom. You get the

455
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:40,000
hat for free. So there's no indication that this bundle exists until you make

456
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,760
it yourself in your cart. To be here to know about it. You might call it a

457
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,760
stealth bundle.

458
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:54,880
That's so sweet. But yeah, it's automatically applied to your cart. Yeah. So it'll automatically apply to

459
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:56,480
your cart. So guys Oh, what the heck?

460
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:03,760
Dang it. You guys should try to put other things in your cart and see what happens. Oh, you never know. Merch might

461
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:09,120
just show up at your house. My stupid kids. They play with my They play with

462
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:13,440
the strings on my hoods. They pull them out. See, even though

463
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:16,640
it's No, there's a knot in it, so it's not going to come out easily, but they

464
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,600
always screwing around. See, we have preventative measures for this. We

465
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,200
thought of this in the design, but they like your kids foiled you. Work hard at

466
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:29,519
it. I don't have a red hat. I only have the black one. So, this one's pretty nice. Get it. Anyway, um so yeah, it's

467
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:33,679
the hoodie that I'm wearing right now, which can be configured with the uh the

468
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:38,000
strings even, but you know, your mileage may vary on that. So, this one with the

469
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,440
phone pocket and the uh Does that have a water bottle pocket? Does not have a

470
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,679
water bottle. Where the heck's my phone? I don't know where my phone is. I mean,

471
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,600
yeah, you can put water. It does have a water bottle pocket. Yeah. So, it's got the phone pocket. I wouldn't actually

472
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:51,519
recommend putting a water bottle in it. That'll stretch it. Um this is my

473
00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:56,480
hoodie. Don't screw with my hoodie. So, it's this one.

474
00:33:53,760 --> 00:34:00,799
It's the black on black hat and it's the black on black water bottle. Add all

475
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:05,840
those to your cart and you will get $20 off which is basically the price of the

476
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:11,599
hat. And uh so it's kind of like getting a free hat. It's so like unusual that I

477
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:14,320
love this hat because usually when I try on a hat, for some reason, I don't know

478
00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:20,560
if it's my head shape or whatever, but I get these weird creases like right here and here. These ones, they're just

479
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:24,560
perfect. Great for covering up your greasy hair, which is uh most of the

480
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:30,960
week. Not that bad today. Most of the week for me. I'm going I'm going with my hair today. I'm not much of a hat guy

481
00:34:27,919 --> 00:34:33,440
every day, but um I burn in about 8

482
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:37,520
minutes outside, so I actually do wear it like a When I wear a that hat and a

483
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:42,159
hoodie, my wife says that I look like I'm from Abbottzford. From Abbottzford?

484
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:46,720
What does that even mean? As opposed to Vancouver, I guess.

485
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:50,800
I don't know. Um Nurling. Hey, what's this other shirt you have on? Oh, right.

486
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:56,399
LTX. Okay. Are we doing sponsor? Let's do SP. You know what? Let's do sponsors

487
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:59,520
now. LTX 2019, baby. It's going to be

488
00:34:56,399 --> 00:35:02,160
flipping sick. This is my staff shirt.

489
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,760
Woo. I got staff. Really excited. I mean, look, if we're pimping everything,

490
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:11,200
I might as well just be like, "Yep, we've got the underwear now, too." Yeah.

491
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,320
I actually got our first customer feedback on the underwear already. Oh,

492
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:18,119
yeah. Yeah. Someone tagged me in a status update on the forum. Protight.

493
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:23,680
And uh yeah, sure. Yeah, sure, James. Um

494
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,800
yeah, they they messaged me on the forum. They were like, "Wow, I can't believe I got it so fast cuz we launched

495
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:33,359
it a couple days ago. They got it yesterday." So, they got it basically

496
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,480
immediately. Where were they located? Um they were like, "Yeah, I'm I'm actually

497
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,960
not sure." And I couldn't share that information anyway, but um I guess I

498
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:46,160
could if it was vague enough. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know where they are in Canada, in the US. No idea. but they

499
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:50,160
got it already and they're ordering two more two more packs. They're like,

500
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:53,280
"Yeah, I love it." That's saying a lot. Having nine pairs of underwear, that's

501
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,240
like going to be probably going to be half of this person's whole repertoire

502
00:35:55,119 --> 00:36:00,720
of underwear. Yeah. I mean, if they do weekly laundry, maybe their whole one um

503
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:04,240
and yeah, they were just like, "Yeah, I ordered one as a test and I'm ordering

504
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:11,119
two more. They're they're freaking awesome. Love them." And that's saying a lot, especially when you consider that

505
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:13,359
they're $50 $50 US for three packs or

506
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:18,560
excuse me, for three pairs. That's not exorbitant.

507
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:23,520
US dollars. There are lots in speaking in Canadian dollars. Um,

508
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:26,960
which I feel like buying power-wise is probably the same. Like if you're in the

509
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:32,240
US and you buy $20 underwear, it probably hurts you the same as $20

510
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:35,240
underwear in the in Canada. Yeah. Um, if

511
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:38,640
you find good underwear that's

512
00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:40,480
$22, that's like a good deal. Cuz

513
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:44,480
there's a lot of boxers that think they should be worth $35. It depends what

514
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:49,760
you're used to. Cuz if you're like a Lululemon shopper, Booy Yeah. my whole

515
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:53,920
drawer then before the line of Yeah. $22 underwear probably doesn't shock you.

516
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:59,440
Whereas the Lululemon ones are $22 or $25. That's why they're so wicked.

517
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:03,839
And then but if you're a Hannes shopper Yeah. and you buy, you know, a 30 pack

518
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:08,800
of underwear for 10 bucks at like, you know, Costco or whatever. Look, even the

519
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:14,640
cheap brands are more. I'm exaggerating. I'm exaggerating. I'm just saying if you

520
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,720
buy like, you know, uh, Acme Acme, you

521
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:21,839
know, palette of underwear. What are they actually? They're like $6 a pair. I

522
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:26,640
have no idea. The la I have the last time I bought underwear was my wife buys

523
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:31,040
my underwear. I don't I don't know how much underwear costs. Uh, all I know is

524
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:36,560
what I did in terms of like price comparison for these and the material

525
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:46,640
quality is more comparable to your 25 to $35 per pair underwear and our pricing

526
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:49,440
is more like uh 15 yeah $16 a pair $165

527
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:53,040
a pair. So I feel like yes they're expensive but also they're not

528
00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:57,240
unreasonable. And it's part of it is just the brand that we're trying to

529
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:02,880
build for the merch is like look it's unapologetically not cheap but it's also

530
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,720
not basic. Like it's nice. You'll like it. Um I'm trying. How much does

531
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:10,800
underwear? I typed in underwear on cost.com and the first thing that comes

532
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:14,000
up is depends. Your screen's not uh sharing with me for some reason. Oh

533
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,359
wait, you're using your laptop instead of the second stream laptop. I didn't

534
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:22,720
even know that that laptop that the second stream laptop can share. Oh yeah,

535
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:26,640
it can. Okay, here we go. $15 for

536
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:28,320
Champion men's boxer briefs, five pack.

537
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:34,079
$3 a pair. So, that's really cheap. That's cheap. We are literally five to

538
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:39,599
six times the price of that. Wow, that train is really loud when the bays open,

539
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,760
isn't it? That is uh that is fantastic.

540
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:46,640
That's your underwear rolling

541
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,160
out to a mailbox near you. Do people

542
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:51,440
like the underwear colors? Are there any colors that um people would like to see?

543
00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:54,720
Do we know that yet? I have hit us up in the chat. Yeah, we're waiting to hear

544
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,680
back from people. People are complaining about the lag, guys. We got We got

545
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:04,320
nothing to do to help you. Twitch.tv/linestech. Our stream is fine.

546
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,000
YouTube is dropping all the frames. We

547
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,520
don't know what to tell you guys. We got to make some pe pink underwear at some

548
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,640
point. We should use holiday underwear, Christmas pattern. That'll be awesome.

549
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:17,920
The minimum order quantities for underwear are really high. Really? Yeah.

550
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:23,520
So, doing just like a whole bunch of different patterns and stuff is

551
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:25,760
maybe not uh on the road map anytime

552
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,800
soon. We got to do Christmas. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. The

553
00:39:27,359 --> 00:39:31,920
nice thing about Christmas undies is you can if you have leftover product, just

put it in the attic for a year and bring it out next year. Um so guys, few more

flasher flasher coat. exhibitionist. I

605
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:15,040
don't know what these guys are doing. Colton doesn't even have a tail. That's

606
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:18,800
weak. Um, uh, you don't sound stoked for Family Feud. That's going to be so

607
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:24,079
sweet. I have never watched Family Feud and I don't quite know what it is. Okay,

608
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:27,839
so that What's the survey says? Sure. We

609
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:29,359
did a survey. Yeah.

610
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:33,200
Uh, so we're going to have best processor to pick in 2019 with Austin

611
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:36,960
Evans, J2 Cent, and our very own Anthony. We're going to have running a

612
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:41,599
YouTube business, the early years. I'll be up there. Strange parts, EPOS, Vox,

613
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,079
um Q&A with LMG, part one creative, and part two business. We'll have different

614
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:49,040
members of our team chatting. We're going to do PC versus Mac with Luke,

615
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:53,200
Snazzy Labs, and Gamers Nexus. That'll be fun. Budget versus performance with

616
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,720
Linus Tech Tips, Tech Deals, and Pedro from PCMR. It's going to be freaking

617
00:43:54,800 --> 00:44:01,920
awesome, guys. Don't miss it if you don't absolutely have to. You can catch

618
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:06,680
the panels, by the way, um if you just tune in on Floatplane. So, we're going

619
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:11,839
to have those available on Floatplane. Um, also Floatplane pricing for Linus

620
00:44:09,839 --> 00:44:14,960
Tech Tips will be going up soon. We finally got our pricing tiers figured

621
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:20,560
out. So, it's going to go up to five bucks. However, we are going to

622
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:22,079
grandfather or grandmother equal quality

623
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:26,480
grand person. We're going to grandperson in um anyone who is already subscribed.

624
00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:31,359
So, you're going to want to get over there pretty quick. So, should I subscribe now? We've got a number. It's

625
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:36,880

accounts work to be honest with you. Um,

627
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:43,440
yeah. Can we Can we do Oh yeah, actual sponsor stuff. Yeah, actual sponsor

628
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:46,480
stuff. Holy cow. Uh, new sponsor Bench. Not that Bench. Different bench. What

629
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:51,839
bench are you talking about? Like like the the the apparel brand. Like Bench on

630
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:55,520
that bench. It's not Bench. No, no, no. Uh, Bench allows you to run your

653
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:30,800
but also there isn't. It's it's the the the same Nintendo Switch but different.

654
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:33,760
If you buy a Nintendo Switch to now.

655
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:38,079
Yes. Or Hold on. Is it now? No, it's in mid August. Mid August. If in mid August

656
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:42,240
you buy a Nintendo Switch and a past version of you in the present now buys a

657
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:48,480
Nintendo Switch, you will have bought two different Nintendo Switches.

658
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:50,000
Yes. Unless you get old stock and the

659
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,440
future you gets old stock and then that's a bummer. So you're in mid August

660
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:58,480
buying a Nintendo Switch. which happens to have been on the shelf since at least

661
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:02,079
today that sucks because the new ones are going to have improved battery life

662
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:06,800
pretty significantly improved. The current ones that are on shelves right

663
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:12,560
now, they claim battery life of 2 and 12 to 6 and 1/2 hours, which is a big

664
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:15,440
range, but it goes from pretty decent to

665
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:21,760
like depending on the game and how hot it is and all sorts of stuff. The new

666
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:24,440
ones are going to have 4.5 to 9 hours.

667
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:29,760
So that's like on the low end of the new switches. The lowest end according to

668
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:33,760
this claim is like in the 66th percentile of the old ones. That's

669
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:39,760
pretty good. And you're not going to pay anything more for that. That's just going to be the new standard switch. So

670
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:46,240
the the word on the street, if you hang out on sites that really follow like

671
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:49,440
silicon news closely, is that this is

672
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:51,359
because they had to do a like basically

673
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:54,880
they were just doing a new spin because they needed to move to a new process or

674
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:59,440
they needed it for the switch light or something like that. Like um and since

675
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:04,720
they were doing it anyway, they might as well just put it in the fullsize switch

676
00:48:02,319 --> 00:48:09,200
and then they can have better battery life. Like basically it's a power

677
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:12,160
consumption uh decreasing move that they've done here. It's not a different

678
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,440
battery. Yeah, it's not a different battery. They have altered the power

679
00:48:13,839 --> 00:48:20,079
consumption of the processor in the Nintendo Switch. So they figured, oh what the hey, we're doing it anyway. We

680
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:23,520
might as well put it in the Switch. Um the product model number doesn't even

681
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,200
change. This will have better battery life even

682
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,079
than the Switch Light. Yeah. Which has better battery life than the old one.

683
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:33,040
Well, I would think then just for the full because the Switch Light is small.

684
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,200
So, I would think for the full-size Switch, they're just putting the same battery as the original one, and it just

685
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:43,119
happens to be a bigger one than the light. Yeah. But they would have needed this more power efficient chip in order

686
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:47,680
to make the Switch Light have a reasonable battery life at all while

687
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:52,000
also being quite a bit smaller. Right. Um, the rumor at this point is that an

688
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:56,319
enhanced version of the Switch targeted at avid gamers is also in production,

689
00:48:54,240 --> 00:49:02,720
but Nintendo has not indicated that this is the case as of yet. With that said,

690
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,319
based on this new manufacturing process,

691
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:10,319
if they were to produce a more powerful chip and target 2.5 to 6.5 hours of

692
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:14,000
gameplay like the original Switch, maybe they could do a Switch Pro or a Switch

693
00:49:12,319 --> 00:49:18,400
What do you think they would call it? Wow. Are there other uh

694
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:22,800
Nintendo consoles that have had iterations like that? Pro

695
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,800
monikers. Have they ever done like a DS Pro?

696
00:49:25,839 --> 00:49:34,319
Well, they did lots of different vers Oh, advanced with Game Boy an SP,

697
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:38,800
but what about on actual consoles like a 64?

698
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:42,160
Yeah. I mean, they did like a Super Nintendo. That was a long time ago,

699
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:46,119
though. Super Switch. I I doubt it. Super Nintendo wasn't just an iteration.

700
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:50,240
That was a whole new Yeah. And but like Nintendo's naming for things is so weird

701
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:55,839
cuz like one time that they have maintained interconole compatibility was

702
00:49:53,280 --> 00:50:00,640
with the Wii and the Wii U. So what? Switch U. But that was a complete

703
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:05,520
failure. Yeah, they'll never do that. We don't say that anymore. Um, you know, if

704
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:09,440
it was anyone else, you know, I'd be like switch GT, like that would be a

705
00:50:07,839 --> 00:50:14,640
more conventional North American thing to do or like a Switch XT, you know,

706
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:19,359
like put a suffix on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but I can't see Nintendo doing

707
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:24,000
that. That's just not really They should just put another S. The Switch. The

708
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:30,559
double S S. Okay. I wouldn't put anything past them. I mean, they named a

709
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:35,200
console where you grab a thing like this

710
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:37,119
and wave it around the Wii. Like I It's

711
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:43,440
I've never heard anyone make that association.

712
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:45,440
Really? Yeah. You've never heard anyone

713
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:52,640
make the association between the Wii and a penis? And saying we like together?

714
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:56,240
No. What? No, I've never heard that. No, no, no. Not Not doing it together. No,

715
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:02,400
but you were saying I thought you meant we Oh, we like we e. Yeah. Oh, no. I

716
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:06,319
haven't heard that either. Shut up. Yes, you have. I'm joking. I

717
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:10,800
don't even believe you right now, man. I'm younger than you. That's I was like

718
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:15,839
14 when that came out. And at 14, you weren't making pee and wiener jokes. No.

719
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:20,559
No, you were above that. You heard it here first, guys. James James has

720
00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:24,640
matured as as a human being in a very unusual fashion. Do you see this? He

721
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:29,440
start You see this? He started out with a ve very highbrow sense of humor and

722
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:34,800
then he's degraded from there. There are no loud children. I only have the shirt.

723
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:39,760
Do you think as a company like does Nintendo have to get these old soon to

724
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:45,440
be inferior switches off the shelves before they can like if you buy one

725
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:48,800
before the new one comes out is there a period of time where you can exchange it

726
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,240
like honoring the sale price? So, I think the store is just going to end up

727
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:56,040
eating it and they might send it back to Nintendo and Nintendo might have some

728
00:51:54,319 --> 00:52:01,359
kind of betock way to to dump old inventory out.

729
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:05,119
Like, I'm I'm sure this it's not I mean, if if there's anything they learned from

730
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:09,680
the Wii U, it's don't call something something you and how to get rid of dead

731
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:14,000
stock. So, I'm sure they can figure it out. Okay. But yeah, if I was a retailer

732
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,680
and I ended up taking back a bunch of crappy battery life switches, I would

733
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:22,960
I'd probably just send them back to Nintendo, be like, "Look, this is your problem. If you want me to keep carrying

734
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:27,119
your product, I'm not eating these." Um, all right. Neuralink applies to the FDA

735
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,960
for human trials. So, Neurolink, a company set up by Elon Musk to explore

736
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:35,760
ways to connect the human brain to a computer interface, has applied to US

737
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:40,720
regulators to start triing its device on humans. Okay, that sounds really

738
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:43,440
clickbaity. So, Neurolink is a You wrote

739
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:48,559
it. I copy pasted it. It's a brain machine interface company with the

740
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:53,119
ultimate eventual goal of making an interface that you can connect

741
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:57,920
non-intrusively to the brain so we can, you know, have hard drives for for

742
00:52:54,880 --> 00:53:00,720
memory and and and basically keep up

743
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:06,160
with the just disc keep up with the AI that's

744
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:09,040
going to make us their pets. So be a

745
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:13,040
cyborg. But in Elon Musk fashion, he usually shoots for the moon but makes a

746
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:17,200
monetizable path to get there. Right? So if he wants to go to Mars, he starts

747
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:20,160
doing uh he makes his own space shuttle and then brings people just to the ISS

748
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:23,440
and makes money doing that so he can finance the eventual trip to Mars and

749
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:28,480
research all the technology along the way. So what they're doing with Neurolink is the same thing. They're uh

750
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:33,520
apparently according to their claims, they've already surpassed the state-of-the-art and they're trying to

751
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:37,760
make these brain machine interfaces that can help people like with Parkinson's

752
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:42,800
and other neurological diseases just not have seizures anymore and stuff like

753
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,559
that. And then once they continue to do

754
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:48,720
that, eventually the technology be good enough that you and I don't need to use

755
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:52,800
a keyboard and mouse anymore. So they showed off um some of the

756
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:58,880
aspects of their new tech which is the first device is called the N1 and mostly

757
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:00,240
the talk was a recruitment talk kind of

758
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:04,960
it was a conference. Elon wasn't the only one speaking there. It was other people at the team. They showed clips of

759
00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:08,960
different people at the team with footage from their lab. Apparently they

760
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:12,000
have 100 employees. Really? I thought it was like a team of like the 12 best

761
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:18,079
experts in the world but there's like 100 people there. Wow. Okay. And it's super cool. So what it is is basically a

762
00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:24,559
small chip like smaller than the size of your pinky fingernail and that goes just

763
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,640
underneath the skull in like a 2 mm wide

764
00:54:24,559 --> 00:54:30,559
incision. It's such a small incision that you don't even need a stitch when

765
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:34,160
the when it's over. They want the operation to be like getting LASIC eye

766
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:39,680
surgery. Yeah. Kind of like that. Uh kind of like installing the chip in

767
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:41,680
Kingsman. Didn't see it. Oh, okay. Yeah.

768
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:47,839
So I think you'd like it. attached to the chip is a bunch of these like

769
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:50,079
probes. Um, but they're they're threads,

770
00:54:47,839 --> 00:54:53,680
okay? They're not like like the the stuff that people buy today, which is

771
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:59,440
super expensive and brutal, would be like a spike that goes into your brain.

772
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:03,520
And u instead they have these threads. They're actually a tenth of the width of

773
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:07,280
a human hair. And they go in and each one of them has electrodes in it. And so

774
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:12,240
it can receive signals from multiple neurons. And then all those threads are

775
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:16,319
connected to that chip. That chip then communicates wirelessly to a wearable

776
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:21,040
that you put on your ear, which in turn is connected via Bluetooth to your

777
00:55:18,319 --> 00:55:25,400
smartphone. I must be getting old cuz this makes me

778
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:31,200
very uncomfortable. Oh, that's so cool. And so you can actually wear more

779
00:55:28,319 --> 00:55:34,160
than one of these. So normally this like the the state of the art that they used

780
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:39,520
before like that spike, you would just get one and it'd be like super invasive and everything. with these because

781
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:42,559
they're less invasive. Um they could put they want to aim for about four, but

782
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:46,480
they could put up to 10 in different brain centers around your head and your

783
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:51,119
hair can just grow back over them and there's no cords coming from you. So

784
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:54,880
they're super discreet. Yeah. And the thing that's super cool is

785
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:58,480
they've made this robot to do the surgery to put it on because those

786
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:04,319
threads are so fine and small, smaller than a human hair. this robot with this

787
00:56:00,799 --> 00:56:06,559
tiny tiny needle and this machine vision

788
00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:10,240
which can detect where your like brain uh your arteries are and veins in your

789
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:15,200
brain where the blood is. It can avoid those so it doesn't cause hemorrhaging

790
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:19,200
and it can it can just insert these threads at different places and there's

791
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:24,079
like a thousand threads with like 3,000 electrodes each. And it does it like in

792
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:27,359
an hour. Crazy.

793
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,880
Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm super surprised that they apparently have a product that they

794
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:34,640
apparently are going to be triing on humans by apparently the end of 2020.

795
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:38,319
They tested it on a monkey that was able to control a computer with its brain

796
00:56:36,319 --> 00:56:42,000
according to Mr. Musk. That's not farfetched because there's videos of

797
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:46,880
monkeys controlling computers with their brains like 12 years ago.

798
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:51,040
Right. But it just means that their system like does something at the very

799
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:56,079
least. It's not just uh you know a Kickstarter. Yeah. Like here's a here's

800
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:59,520
a really thin thread. We imagine at some point in the future it'll detect neural

801
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:04,160
activity, but for now it's just drilled into your brain. I think they have like

802
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:09,040
the foremost experts. They have a lot of young people. A lot of people that video

803
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:11,359
look like they're under 30. Interesting.

804
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:15,119
Speaking of a lot of young people, a lot of young people are uh getting off

805
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,559
Facebook. Okay, last one though because I got to go. Uh this is the last one. Oh

806
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,920
yeah, this is just the topics that we highlighted at the beginning. Oh yeah.

807
00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:26,960
So I wanted to make sure we got through those. We're not doing the Samsung RAM

808
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:31,440
thing. Um, all right. So, this was posted on the forum by Fluofer. Thanks,

809
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:35,839
Floofer. Love that name. US regulators have approved a record $5 billion fine

810
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,760
on Facebook to settle an investigation into data privacy violations related to

811
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,680
allegations that political consultancy Cambridge Analytica and properly obtain

812
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:47,040
the data of up to 87 million Facebook users. The sum amounts to around a

813
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:50,880
quarter of the company's yearly profit. Uh the investigation focused on whether

814
00:57:48,799 --> 00:57:56,079
Facebook had violated a 2011 agreement under which it was required to clearly

815
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:58,720
notify users and gain express consent to

816
00:57:56,079 --> 00:58:02,960
share their data. If confirmed, it would be the largest fine ever levied by the

817
00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:06,000
FTC on a tech company, but it still needs to be finalized by the Justice

818
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:09,599
Department civil division, and it's unclear how long this may take.

819
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:14,480
Investors responded positively to the news. Okay, hold on. This is the most interesting part. You'd think that the

820
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:18,799
news of being like, "Hey, you're going to get fined $5 billion would make your

821
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:23,440
stock price go down, but actually it made it go up 1.8%." Which totally makes

822
00:58:21,599 --> 00:58:26,640
sense because they knew that this fine was coming down the pike for a long

823
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:29,359
time. They didn't know how much it was going to be, but Facebook did think that

824
00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:33,760
it was going to be in the neighborhood of 5 billion and Facebook did put

825
00:58:31,359 --> 00:58:36,960
apparently almost enough almost all that aside. So, the reason that the stock

826
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:41,440
price would go up is because now there's less uncertainty, right?

827
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:45,400
Uh, we don't know what additional measures and oversight might be placed

828
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:49,440
on the company or Mark Zuckerberg himself. Um, but I think what everyone

829
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:55,119
wants to know is where does the money go? Like does everyone who had their

830
00:58:52,319 --> 00:58:59,839
information sold get rec get compensated for it? Apparently in cases like this,

831
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:03,200
it's the people affected don't get compensated. The agency that does the

832
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:09,040
investigation isn't even the one who gets the money. Usually it just goes to

833
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:13,599
the the US Treasury for uh for general

834
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:17,839
use. So build a wall. It just goes into

835
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:19,920
the coffers. Yeah. Um Sure. Do you think

836
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:22,960
that some people think that this is not enough money? It's a slap on the wrist.

837
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:27,040
It's not enough to make a dent or make them care. It is 20% of a year's

838
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:32,079
profits. Not gross revenue profits. Yeah. So I actually I have a bit of a

839
00:59:29,359 --> 00:59:37,520
different take on that. Um, I think that a fine of 20% of a company's profit for

840
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:42,559
the year is much more than a slap on the wrist. I mean, I think it's very easy

841
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,839
for people to say, "Well, Facebook

842
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:49,280
doesn't care because they're going to make four times that much this year."

843
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:54,319
But, I mean, if I told you that, you know, you did a really bad thing driving

844
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:58,880
that far over the speed limit. I I'm finding you a quarter of your salary for

845
00:59:56,799 --> 01:00:01,760
the year. you'd probably be pretty bummed.

846
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:07,680
Yeah. The other part of it is they have competitors. All of their competitors are, you know, everyone's making as much

847
01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:12,160
as they can and allocating as much as they can to the future to grow more in

848
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:16,079
the future. So, if you didn't plan for that 20% that inhibits your ability to

849
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:19,200
grow as much as you wanted to and then gives your competitors a leg up. And the

850
01:00:17,839 --> 01:00:26,160
other thing to remember is that this is just one country that has assessed this

851
01:00:22,319 --> 01:00:29,359
20% of Facebook's global annual profit

852
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:32,400
fine. There's nothing to say that they

853
01:00:29,359 --> 01:00:33,760
won't get hit by, and you know what,

854
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:37,680
this Cambridge Analytica one specifically, maybe not, but there's

855
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,839
nothing to say that in the event of some kind of a scandal like this that they

856
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:46,760
won't get hit then by the EU and then by Canada, then by someone else. And at the

857
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:49,839
end of the day,

858
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:51,280
um, you know, yeah, Facebook is going to

859
01:00:49,839 --> 01:00:59,559
continue to make a lot of money, a ton of money, but I I don't personally buy

860
01:00:54,799 --> 01:01:03,520
that 20% of your annual profit is um,

861
01:00:59,559 --> 01:01:07,520
and is like a slap on the wrist. If we

862
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:10,799
got like, okay, if we got fined 20% of

863
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:14,000
our annual profit, I can tell you as a

864
01:01:10,799 --> 01:01:15,680
business owner, that would sting. That

865
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:20,200
would affect our budgeting. That would affect our future plans on our

866
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:26,119
expansion, our growth. Um, especially because this is sort of a Pandora's box.

867
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:32,160
Now that I've been fined $5 billion once, I am certainly at that amount 20%

868
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:36,000
of my profit, I am certainly trying to figure out how to not get hit by that

869
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:40,480
next year. So if people are saying, "Look, this is not a deterrent." I think

870
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:44,240
that's hogwash. You think Facebook wants 20% of their profit wiped out every

871
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:49,119
year? That's not going to help their stock price. I think it's interesting

872
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:53,839
that g given that it just goes to the US Treasury for general use, it almost

873
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:57,839
gives the government an incentive to make these fines go through. That's kind

874
01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:03,040
of weird. Yeah, government fines um are a

875
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:06,799
fascinating thing. I mean, that's another thing, too, is like for me as

876
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:11,359
Facebook, I have a lot of uncertainty now. It's like on the one hand, yeah,

877
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:14,000
you guys done goofed, but you know, they've done a lot of other really

878
01:02:12,559 --> 01:02:17,839
stupid stuff over the last couple of years, too. So, I'm kind of sitting there going, "Oh crap, now that the

879
01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:24,400
scent of blood is in the water, what else are they coming after us for?" And what defines me? Like, if I'm a Facebook

880
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:28,559
investor, this news does not make me want to spend 1.8% more on my Facebook

881
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:32,640
shares, especially because Facebook is such a

882
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:36,640
public target. Uh, and then again, like I have to

883
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:40,240
confess, I haven't been following this that closely. You know, maybe there's

884
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:44,960
something in this settlement that says the FTC isn't going to go after them for

885
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:48,559
anything else that like I I don't know exactly.

886
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:51,680
I don't know. But it's not confidence inspiring for me. And I think it's I

887
01:02:50,319 --> 01:02:57,240
think it's sort of ridiculous to think that Facebook would just shrug this one

888
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,240
off.

889
01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:05,799
I agree. Could be wrong. Super chats. Yeah, super chat. Oh, good reminder.

890
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:11,599
Thank you, Chris. Nerdy Timber, Jonas Garibbe, Freddy Gary Singh, M. What are

891
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:19,839
you doing? See you in a week, dude. Is that the the Graler? Yeah. Yeah. Matt

892
01:03:16,119 --> 01:03:22,559
Trinidad Demon, Gary Singh, Rocky

893
01:03:19,839 --> 01:03:27,680
Gregory. Poops too much. It's a shame. Gregory, Ethan, Lucy, William McKay,

894
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:34,799
Pablo Diaz. Uh, what would you get? A OnePlus 7 Pro or Pixel 3 AXL?

895
01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:41,119
Need a headphone jack? Uh, Pixel 3 XL. Anything else? OnePlus 7 Pro. No, I

896
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:42,319
think I think I'd get the 7 Pro really.

01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:48,200

914
01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:06,480
it's in the neighborhood of any $9 million for a pitching butt course,

924
01:05:48,559 --> 01:05:54,039
really high-end pro cool stuff sometimes, but it's not really our

932
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:25,599
took it, they never found them and killed the kid. Well, that's why I would check the news because I'm sure that

933
01:06:24,319 --> 01:06:30,640
would show up in the news. See, I've got that covered. Uh you'd be like, "Here's

934
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:35,119
the $4 million, guys. Save the kid." And like you'd be rushed by like waiting

936
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:42,000
buy a second water bottle. The stealth one is sweet." It is sweet. I don't

937
01:06:40,079 --> 01:06:46,319
mind, but I am bummed that I already bought the black hat. Can I get a

938
01:06:43,359 --> 01:06:50,160

939
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:53,520
