1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,559
boom we should be live on the WAN Show i'm going to yet again pull it up on my

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:12,000
phone because because of the should that i just did you get them no

3

introduce people here louis rossman um

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:28,240
fighter of apple repairer of everything

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:33,280
uh what's your like channel and stuff what various callouts uh rossman group

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:37,760
with two s's and two ends that's a good way to do that uh level

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,840
one text wendell how's it going Linux masterman if you oh don't hit me

10

now where'd it go

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,320
this will be a recurring theme it's a big one too

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,800
oh it's it's it's been feeding it would be well it would be an honor to be assaulted by lewis rossman

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,960
yeah he'll repair it afterwards i am also down to be a target just go for

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:08,159

then it goes okay here we go right here yeah okay yeah uh channel level one text

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,640
any other callouts you want to do how's it going yeah there we go wendell

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,000
jay's two cents you guys probably know jay uh

19
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,880
everywhere yeah with a z it's not jay-z on twitter no but if

20
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,479
you're gonna tag me tag beyonce too yeah i might as well include it uh and this

21
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,000
WAN Show will probably not be super standard we have some news topics i

22
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:42,079
don't know what almost any of them are we know that the uh there's some

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,240
updates to the macbook pro uh chrome is

24
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:47,040
using more RAM wow that's surprising and some other stuff but i doubt we'll get

25
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,200
to a ton of it because we'll probably go into crazy tangents and we might kill a

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:58,110
fly i'm gonna roll the intro and we'll be back in a second

27
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:28,800
you're probably either okay or not um private internet access vpn

28
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,160
and savage jerky are the sponsors for this show i'm gonna

29
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,160
try to reset this and then go back to maine

30
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,080
so new macbook pros coming out um they have replaced the keyboard

31
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,879
uh but as we were talking before the show it's not gonna fail anymore

32
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:50,560
wrong it is a third generation butterfly

33
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,080
keyboard however this design was was not

34
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,599
intended to solve the recently highlighted butterfly keyboard issues

35
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,040
that's a direct quote from apple isn't it i i believe so it's not in quotes

36
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,840
here but i believe so well not well i mean there was no problem with it to

37
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:09,599
begin with right you're just typing too hard so what what was theatrica i generally

38
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,519
stay away from from those but what was the actual problem well people would say

39
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,760
that the key is either not working or it'll type 20 times when you press it

40
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,200
once and usually people would show up and say i didn't get any water on it it

41
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,800
just happened that i'd open it and it would be yellow and brown and ugly but

42
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,760
some of these look like they're just new out of the box and the keys just don't

43
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,239
work on them and then it started to be something where once a day somebody would show up

44
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,280
then five people a day would show up then when we had like 20 to 40 people

45
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,280
showing up a day with the same problem and calling and emailing about it i

46
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:43,440
realized this is going to be a thing yeah yeah

47
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,959
that's the super shallow flat real thin key yes the thin key that goes

48
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:50,080
like every time you type it that really obnoxious annoying one it's not like a

49
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,560
nice mechanical keyboard noise it's a mechanical keyboard noise without any of

50
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,439
the mechanic part yeah there's no bass to it it's just

51
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,280
yeah they just have like i was not a fan of that keyboard

52
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,879
at all like i couldn't type on it yeah the throw is just so short

53
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,319
but basically what i'm hearing here is we got a new keyboard but

54
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:12,720
it could potentially have all the same problems as the other one well yeah they

55
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,519
they specifically didn't even roll this keyboard out to fix the

56
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,479
problem so i assume i assume there will because it was never a problem

57
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:23,759
right i got i got to put the apple hat back on do you have a sense that if it

58
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,840
it's more than like a year old it's exponentially more likely to fail

59
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,080
unnaturally or is it is it age related at all

60
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,000
i don't know i think it's even age related because some people showing up at this have had it for six or eight

61
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,400
months and they'll show up and ask if we can fix it because they don't want to wait a week or two for the apple store

62
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,440
to do it weird

63
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,880
not good well just like iphone 4 just don't hold it that way yeah

64
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,600
it's just this really weird level of utopianism where i think like if

65
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:52,240
it honestly reminds me what my history teacher used to talk about with the with

66
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,360
uh russia and the soviet union where somebody would be we called the counter

67
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:01,280
revolutionary because they did something wrong and they would that guy would get thrown in prison and then the guy that

68
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,080
was throwing him in prison would wind up getting thrown in prison by somebody else it's like somebody will say my

69
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:09,360
machine is getting really hot and i get lines on the screen and they'll say why

70
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:14,479
don't you get applicant if you had apple care then it would it would have been covered and then the guy and then the

71
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,320
guy that says that winds up one day out of applecare uh with a machine where

72
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:21,680
like it'll just start randomly crashing and he's like oh my god maybe that other

73
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,320
person was right but then he'll post in the forum and they'll go why didn't you

74
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,840
get they released the replacement program for it why didn't you get it and

75
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,280
one of the funny things was the 2010 macbook where they it had a crashing

76
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,639
problem because they used the wrong capacitor they released the replacement program in 2013 that only covered the

77
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,120
machine three years from the date of purchase and the machine was manufactured in two thousand twenty two

78
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,680
so if you were sitting there going f5 f5 f5 f5 on their warranty page maybe you

79
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,039
would be able to get it but but if you believe that apple products are this

80
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,600
great because in some ways they are you know they're easy to use they use pci

81
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:56,560
express ssds in 2013. um they have really great screens they don't crash as

82
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,919
often if you're comparing its older Windows and something goes wrong you

83
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,240
really don't want to believe that the product is bad yeah so you either have

84
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,280
to admit that they have faults or you have to deny your own experience and

85
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,520
what drives me nuts is when people will actually believe i'm typing on it wrong

86
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,360
i'm holding it wrong i'm encoding video on it wrong and that's what drives me

87
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,479
nuts it's not that the product itself is terrible it's that when something goes

88
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,840
wrong with it people will just treat themselves as if they did something wrong

89
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,360
rather than if the company did something because they truly believe the product

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,240
is fail-proof yeah it's like you know it's not like other companies don't have

91
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,880
faults too it's just if somebody buys an hp and that happens they will yell at hp

92
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,479
they won't but if something happens with an apple product and it's the same fault

93
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,919
they'll just believe that they did something wrong and it drives me up a

94
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:43,520
wall yeah and it's it's it's

95
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,600
it's a frustrating experience too because like i i've generally liked

96
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,840
apple's ecosystem because i will send certain people there uh like like for

97
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,560
instance my mom i tried to get her to get an iphone then she got used to

98
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Android so there's no point trying to flip that over again but i try to get her to get an iphone because like you

99
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,639
said they're they're quite easy to use they're usually fairly intuitive all

100
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:06,560
that kind of stuff but then when you start having these problems it's like oh

101
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,400
okay you're spending with this new macbook up to like seven thousand

102
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,560
dollars if you want to get the crazy max to your oh they they get pretty

103
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:19,919
expensive what you can get six cores 32 gigs of RAM uh like four terabyte ssds

104
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,639
so you can get the specs ridiculously high which is i guess part of the factor because

105
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,520
anytime you tear up anything in apple's customizer it's really expensive and

106
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,400
there's things that they do well you know if david bowie was coming back to life for 20 minutes and i had one chance

107
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,560
to record you've been around again i would want to do it on a mac not Windows

108
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,080
10. right it's just i don't want to deal with all these other problems Windows 10

109
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:44,400
might try to you know like you update in the middle or yeah

110
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,400
nonsense like that man okay so for ltx which is tomorrow uh

111
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,960
we have we have two guests here from the forum two guys that i've never met

112
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,319
before which i think is actually really cool that they're coming i haven't seen them yet uh but two admins on the forum

113
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,919
and one of them came over here with his business laptop and he had a Windows

114
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,000
update hit him while he was here and it bricked his Windows i don't remember the

115
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,639
exact details but he had to rush here in the morning and borrow a computer in a

116
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,280
flash drive so he could get Windows onto a flash drive so he could completely

117
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,520
reformat everything so he could keep working microsoft genuinely earned the reputation that they have and they

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,960
earned the people that will put up with this nonsense from apple just to escape

119
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,400
it i completely understand it well i've had two systems completely fail on

120
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,319
update to the point to where it was the system was completely unstable and i i

121
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:30,080
remember getting Windows vista with a new machine where when it first came out

122
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,680
you couldn't even run programs without running an update you would just try to

123
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:37,039
open a new browser and it would just sit there and then 20 minutes later it would

124
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,399
open yeah there's a i don't know

125
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:43,519
really bad my what my computer was one of the

126
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:46,560
admittedly i guess probably over the overall spectrum of the amount of people

127
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:51,839
that had this happen to them not that high percentage but my computer was one of the ones that when they forced the

128
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:55,839
upgrade to Windows 10 i wasn't even at home i had denied the upgrade so many

129
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,399
times then i was at work and while i was at work my computer upgraded from

130
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Windows 7 to Windows 10 and bricked itself that was when they implemented the like click here now before this

131
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,880
countdown's gone if you don't want it yeah because they knew people were leaving their systems on walking away

132
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:10,240
going to work yeah whatever you come back suddenly in mid update and i had

133
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,440
even ran the scripts that are supposed to stop it but then they'd release some

134
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,560
update that would get around that and it was just very frustrating i one thing i've

135
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,080
enjoyed this entire conversation uh is that wendell has been almost silent

136
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,560
if wendell hasn't said anything yet we're not wrong

137
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,120
well no yeah okay yeah i agree with that but it's just the Linux man it's just

138
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:36,240
like Linux uh there are systems that i have

139
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,640
that have up times of like 600 days which is actually really bad because

140
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,640
there are kernel updates and security updates and stuff like that so those

141
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:47,680
machines are potentially a typhoid mary but yeah 600 days of uptime

142
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,200
yeah i like running Windows in a virtual machine because then it's

143
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,120
it's like oh look Windows update itself i can just hit a button and it's like oh

144
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:59,040
look it's the way that it was yesterday nice try microsoft you failed one of the

145
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:02,640
things we're actually working on back in my studio right now is um he landed on

146
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,720
my hand right now so we're gonna we're gonna get him okay okay um he's back we

147
00:10:04,959 --> 00:10:10,480
will actually we're actually gonna do some rollbacks and force updates we're

148
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,600
gonna do comparative benchmarks to see how much it actually impacts your system

149
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:18,399
both high end and low end because there's times we're doing benchmarks and we're like what the heck suddenly

150
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:21,920
something's weird like we start going you know really super stuttery or

151
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,360
something we realize like oh look a background process update's happening

152
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:31,120
it's eating 25 percent of our resources yeah anatec ran into that with their um

153
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,160
their zen plus coverage yeah um the like

154
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:38,079
rise of the tomb raider and a whole bunch of games were running as good or slightly better on AMD than

155
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Intel and it was because they had the high precision timer which reading and

156
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,200
writing from hardware registers triggers the meltdown spectrum mitigations more i

157
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,640
guess yeah so depending on what you're doing you could have a significant reduction in

158
00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:55,120
performance right it's an interesting situation uh do you

159
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,760
want to talk a little bit about not too much because we got a video to release

160
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,480
but you want to talk a little bit about what you're doing here with Anthony it was exciting

161
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:07,600
yeah i spent i spent monday and tuesday with Anthony doing Linux stuff and it's

162
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:12,399
Linux on gaming gaming on Linux and so we look at native Linux on gaming which

163
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:16,640
is pretty cool basically works and then gaming through wrappers like wine and

164
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,079
all the various flavors of that running 12 different versions of wine at the same time easily

165
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:25,279
and then finally virtualization and the horizon for doing everything through a

166
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,040
virtual machine and not really sacrificing anything in terms of performance so i'm really looking

167
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,760
forward to that that'll be really good we'll have companion guides and stuff on the forum for

168
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:38,480
like really nitty gritty step by step if you want to do fedora or ubuntu or you

169
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,880
know arch or whatever and everything he just said is why we were talking earlier

170
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,360
about how apple is sometimes more uh easily accessible

171
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:50,399
like 12 different versions of wine uh yeah oh so you're writing a game for mac

172
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,600
well you're going to have to do the metal API sorry

173
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:58,560
it's gotten a lot better now like compared to let's say 15 years ago if you wanted to do a digital audio

174
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,680
workstation Linux was terrible for it but it's gotten a lot better yeah it's

175
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,440
not you know yeah it's still got some rough edges i

176
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,519
extremely rarely uh do do the hip things

177
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:13,519
and go to clubs and stuff but uh the only time i ever will is for one

178
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:18,000
of my friends and on his birthday and we went to one place and i noticed that the

179
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,800
dj had a giant MSI laptop with an art full RGB keyboard

180
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,240
and stuff and i was even thinking like that's just like weird

181
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:32,240
like i took a photo because i was like oh it's cool yeah usually but it's it's usually a macbook and even

182
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:35,120
just it was one of the like thick ones because it had the i believe it was one

183
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:39,760
of the mechanical keyboard ones so like this is huge yeah it's a massive massive

184
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,200
cumbersome laptop that he brings to shows

185
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,639
i firmly believe that this like we want laptops to stand as paper i don't think

186
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:50,079
that a lot of consumers really want that i think consumers like thin and light

187
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,120
but i think if you tell a consumer hey you can get five more years out of this

188
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:57,040
machine if it's got a replaceable keyboard and it's just a hair thicker

189
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,560
that doesn't seem unreasonable you've talked about this a bunch with phones uh

190
00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:05,680
not to admit that i watch a huge amount of your content and have since way before i made videos but um you're

191
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:10,320
talking about how you see a lot of reviewers review a phone and it's different than consumers

192
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:14,880
looking at a phone yeah because thickness plastic backs all that kind of stuff there's this big disconnect when i

193
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:19,519
read a review and then when i talk to people who come in and say what they want on a phone just well you know let's

194
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,360
say we're fixing somebody's phone we can have a 15-minute conversation i've never

195
00:13:21,839 --> 00:13:27,200
heard a normal person that i've met in real life talk about the bezel of a

196
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,800
phone every single reviewer they'll spend two or three paragraphs talking

197
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,399
about the bezel and like you know how it goes out to the end and now we find no

198
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:37,200
casing at all i've never heard somebody talk about that or care you know in real

199
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:41,279
life they think you know it would be nice if i drop my phone from here to

200
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:44,480
hear that it not break they don't care about the bezel or they'll say the back

201
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,920
is made of premium materials but the regular person will say i can see

202
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,639
fingerprints that's ugly yeah or they're going to stick it in the case anyway

203
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:56,320
yeah and it has to you know like a phone like this has to go in a case because it's it'll crack if i go from here to

204
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,839
here yeah and the back of it looks nice but if i actually touch it you can feel

205
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,880
the only thing i care about with bezel is whether or not it's slippery but

206
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,199
without a case yeah and the things are getting more slick over time you know

207
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,120
and that's that's always bugged me but other than that's why you don't really see

208
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:14,240
phone reviews on my channel because i'm one of those people that just don't care about any of that yeah if you sold the

209
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,000
phone imagine if you i think that if you put it in a bullet point two years from

210
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,839
now it will still work the battery can be replaced and it's not gonna slow down

211
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,440
too terribly that somebody may actually consider buying it over something else

212
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:29,440
you know you have an extra eighth of a millimeter but you can replace the

213
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:34,000
battery i have a lg g5 for just that reason it's you know ancient by today's

214
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,279
standards but removable battery and metal back and still has a fingerprint

215
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,360
sensor and it's not like super heavy and i see a lot of people say yeah but in two years you're going to get a new

216
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,399
phone anyway it's okay you may get a new phone anyway in two years but somebody

217
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:50,560
that doesn't want to spend an extra two or four hundred dollars isn't it yeah i think i used to be i'm sorry i didn't i

218
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,079
used to be an annual upgrader but not anymore like i'll go i'll go two years

219
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,639
plus and usually the only thing that will make me upgrade is if i start seeing battery degradation that's only

220
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,760
because i've been on iphone for the longest time now it's because it's super simple and that's only because it's not

221
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,160
easy to service battery swaps you know for an average end user i think so i

222
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,839
think that design kind of peaked around probably the galaxy s3

223
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,800
because removable battery upgradable storage and it still had a plastic back

224
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,079
yeah and there were cases for that you could replace the back like you got you

225
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,760
could take the back off and have like a leather back if you wanted to well and

226
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,480
when i was still working in it we had an entire fleet of s3s out there and you

227
00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:31,040
could do the extended battery with the extended back cover you know we were sending those out into the field yeah i

228
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:35,199
don't i don't know why that went out of vote yeah a lot of people said well the battery life on modern phones is good

229
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,760
enough that you don't need a second battery to get through the day but that totally ignores that

230
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:43,040
yeah after it's not even that that's not even the issue so much as it is one year

231
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:48,000
or two years later when it barely has any battery life i want i'm going to keep this thing for longer than two

232
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,120
years no reason to buy it and i think more

233
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:57,199
people would buy it if you actually advertise that and i haven't seen anybody advertise longevity as a feature

234
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:02,800
no but it could be one thing in twitch chat i posted a poll uh because i'm i'm

235
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,480
interested on the exact percentages at least for our audience which is a

236
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:09,920
terrible uh section if we want to be scientific but whatever i want to see

237
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,720
the exact percentages of people that care about ultra thin bezels so check

238
00:16:11,839 --> 00:16:18,240
straw poll in the chat and uh s3 specifically i have one interesting

239
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:23,199
story with that that ties into what you're talking about with it should be able to fall right

240
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:27,040
i was i was at university and i was late for class so i was sprinting and i ran

241
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:32,240
down a huge set of steps and i had too much momentum and there was one of those like uh poles that stopped cars from

242
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,480
going into areas so i decided i'll just hop over it and i jump and i remember

243
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,279
that my as i'm mid-air remember that my phone is in my sweater pocket not in my

244
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,880
jeans pocket it goes flying smacks into

245
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:46,399
the ground the battery goes one way the bat goes the other way the rest of the

246
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:49,120
phone goes the other way tiny chip in the corner put everything back together

247
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:53,120
turn it back on works perfectly what phone was that s3 seriously that was a

248
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,560
hard phone to break yeah and like i think one of the things that actually

249
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:00,240
helps is that it kind of explodes and it like says it's i can't remember

250
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,559
the correct terminology for it but the force of the impact goes with each part

251
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:08,480
and lets it blow out the s3 one of the earlier gorilla glass yeah

252
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:12,559
yeah yeah when that actually meant something yeah before they kept making the grill gas

253
00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:16,400
thinner which then just made it as brittle as anything else yeah yeah well

254
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,079
the with the g5 where it's got the replaceable battery and still kind of

255
00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:23,919
modern i've replaced the battery in it twice yeah i mean it was basically a

256
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:27,679
launch day phone and it's you just slide it out and slide a new battery in it's

257
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,160
eight bucks from china yeah yeah that's the other thing you can get those

258
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,000
batteries so cheap if you buy them third-party so the the poll results for

259
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:40,640
people that didn't click on results when they ended is about 78 of people do not

260
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,720
care about ultra thin bezels and 28 well

261
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,679
i guess yeah 22 percent of people do that's the audience about people

262
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,200
watching a tech in tech review channel yeah yeah

263
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,840
so it's skewed but i don't necessarily know in what

264
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,640
direction it's still it's such a high percentage that like we've seen it

265
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,919
though we've seen these early polls you let them go for five minutes or five days it tends to

266
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,080
whatever like the first few minutes ratio it won't change a ton

267
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:08,400
yeah it will generally stay there yeah yeah so like i and well the thing is if

268
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,840
you if you expose that pole to a much different audience yeah it might shift

269
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,120
it a bit more but i i kind of doubt it i i've had a

270
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,520
similar experience i'm sure you've talked to more people about it but i've had a similar experience talking to just

271
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,039
friends and family yeah like what would you want in a phone i remember reading

272
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:27,200
so many phone reviews for this and i saw one eli the computer guy clip of a video

273
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:31,440
very you know with his 500 camera pointing at it saying this is me loading

274
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:35,200
google maps this is it not lagging and i just thought sold yeah cause that's all

275
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:38,720
i really care about the things that i do every day when i go to you know hell and

276
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,679
uber is it going to take forever when i want to scroll around is it going to

277
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:46,400
take forever is the does the battery last you know things like that with

278
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,120
phones these days that can like play

279
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:52,480
relatively decent uh graphic fidelity games at relatively decent frame rates

280
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,640
like they can probably open uber and google

281
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,720
maps relatively i just feel like we've progressed so far in the mobile

282
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:04,080
computing uh biologies and the passings are like the early days of smartphones

283
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:08,640
back when i had my blackberry storm and and the droid one was out and the the

284
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,880
iphone 3 and 3g or 3gs you know it's like

285
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,320
back then it was a big deal like this one scroll smoother where the Android

286
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,520
was choppy and stuff where obviously there was big variants between the

287
00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:21,200
devices but now everything's so damn close yeah it's really hard to

288
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,760
differentiate a winner it really comes down to the to the interface i think the

289
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:29,600
interface battle is the thing that keeps Android iphone and then i think like i'm

290
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:34,640
surprised blackberry is even still around but the only other person i've met that had a storm that was i had a

291
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:40,960
storm because you feel about the first generation storm it was terrible

292
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,840
i never used i never used the uh because i think i had a physical keyboard too if

293
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,799
i remember correctly that was no that there was no physical that was the one that clicked that's right it had the the

294
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,080
click like the whole screen yeah but it only had one button in the middle right

295
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:56,160
as you got further out to the edge you got weaker a little bit more detail

296
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,039
i got it because i mean i was on verizon and we didn't have any other options at

297
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:04,000
the time yeah you know iphone obviously didn't come to verizon until the the 4s

298
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,600
was out and then um it lagged so badly

299
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,160
right and then seven minutes so as soon as the droid one the original droid came

300
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:14,640
out i replaced the blackberry with that um and then i carried both iphone and

301
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:19,760
samsung at work for quite a while so i've got a very unique perspective of at

302
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,160
least back in 2013 what it was like to

303
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,559
be a dual wielder you know yeah yeah i never had any experience on the other

304
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:30,400
side of the road back then but i remember when like the first Android butter update came out that like that

305
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:34,400
was the biggest deal i had seen in a while because it massively i think was

306
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:38,799
like one of the first ones i was on oh yeah yeah yeah okay you know what phone

307
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:42,480
was massively underrated was the uh last generation t-mobile sidekick

308
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,919
i heard a lot of people really liked it yeah it ran java which is like you would

309
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:50,159
think it would be a pile of garbage because java especially in those days

310
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:53,760
because that was before Android but the thing with the phone is that if it

311
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,919
does what you want it to do really well that it's a really good phone it doesn't

312
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:01,280
need to be a status symbol the sidekick was kind of like it looked like a toy

313
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,840
but had a good keyboard and the screen was decent but it also had a color lcd

314
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,120
that was reflective so you're not going to get like photorealistic color but you

315
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:14,159
could get color and so the battery life would last forever like days

316
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,919
because it wasn't actually having a backlight unless it was dark outside you

317
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:23,120
mentioned status symbol too here's a here's a straw poll it might be interesting how many people choose a

318
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:27,120
phone based on it being an accessory or a status thing

319
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:29,840
yeah right because i i think a lot of people choose their phone based on where

320
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:35,200
people gonna think of my phone i think it's kind of sad but i feel like there's a good percentage of people that care

321
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:38,640
about that how many people are gonna admit to that though probably very few

322
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:43,039
it's not really much of a problem anymore but there was a there was a

323
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:46,480
while there where like the the pricey phones couldn't connect to like

324
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:50,320
corporate email and stuff like that properly and so i was on the receiving end of that and it's like you need to

325
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:55,200
get this phone or this phone if you wanted to work properly with your email system and they're like i'm gonna buy

326
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:57,280
this because it looks like i'm wealthy and it's just that was one of the

327
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:02,080
reasons why i had the blackberry to begin with because when i was working in software at the time in our it

328
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:04,720
department um we had you know all of our own mail servers and stuff it wasn't

329
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,679
through standard pop or any of that stuff so it was the phone that could connect to

330
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,720
it um but i'll be the first to admit that one of the reasons why i got iphone back

331
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:17,360
when it first came to verizon was simply because it was something i couldn't get

332
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:21,440
before and suddenly i could and everyone had it and i wanted it because of that

333
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,039
and i literally it's just stayed with it ever since because i got used to it and

334
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:29,280
i'm comfortable i'm not really a mobile power user and i don't need well nothing

335
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,799
crazy but iphone 4 it was not completely unusable but the iphone one that didn't

336
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:37,120
have copy paste i just can't imagine that world yeah see i joined long after that

337
00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:42,000
obviously but speaking of not being able to imagine that world uh we'll start from over here

338
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,600
and go across what was your favorite phone

339
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:49,200
like at that point in time i guess at that point in time i think the htc

340
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:52,720
incredible in 2010 because the other Android phones were slow and clunky i

341
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:55,760
was coming from a blackberry storm so six minute boot time opening browser

342
00:22:54,559 --> 00:23:00,720
takes a minute every time you do something it stutters and i got that phone and when i would tap something it

343
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:03,840
just opened immediately there was no lag i'm sure if i upgraded to a new version

344
00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:06,960
of Android with it or a newer i shouldn't say new yeah

345
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,559
and it also actually fit in your hand comfortably right very few phones will

346
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:16,159
fit in my hand comfortably now because they're large just really big yeah Linus yeah Linus

347
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:20,320
has a similar problem to that he likes uh old iphones because they're much

348
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,480
smaller what about you i've never had a phone that i like for more than six

349
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,880
months like it'll it's okay for six months and then with the software updates and

350
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:31,600
whatever i'm doing to it it starts to run really bad okay what phone had the

351
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,440
best six month period then probably the t-mobile sidekick yeah like the very

352
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,240
last generation one because you could really quickly but switch between a

353
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,720
bunch of tasks the web browsing wasn't terrible instant messaging wasn't

354
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,159
terrible email was pretty good there was a there was one device before

355
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:51,039
that that was like really it was a little before that arrows the there was

356
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,880
like a motorola pager thing it was not a phone that thing was awesome i don't

357
00:23:53,600 --> 00:24:00,159
remember what it was i had that before i had a cell phone and that was like because then people

358
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:05,440
couldn't call me it was great i uh mine would probably be my s3 i'm

359
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:09,760
going to be easy basically that story yeah um s3 was awesome

360
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,559
the thing was a tank i had it for so long i think it still works

361
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:19,039
we got close it's on your shoe i know um we i had that phone for a very very

362
00:24:17,679 --> 00:24:23,520
long time i hit him did you see it hit the ground and he spiraled and he came back up you won't actually hit him

363
00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:27,679
you've got him but he's not dead he spiraled and he keep flew back up i think we're at one

364
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:33,039
level he's gonna get sucked into that machine and be on one of the fans with all the friends

365
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:36,080
you guys can't see that but that that uh that fangirl is pretty nice

366
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:39,919
yeah he's right there there's another over there wait there's another one yeah there's two there's

367
00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:43,679
three i was so excited i felt like my leg was

368
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:48,159
gonna be the death platform for this fly and i was i was stoked uh but yeah my s3

369
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:50,720
what about you i really liked the s3 just because it was a good size

370
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,559
improvement but i don't want to copy your answer so probably my original

371
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,840
droid because i i actually played around back then with a lot of rooting

372
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:02,640
different roms actually wrote it my own soundboard app

373
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,919
back then for like playing my daughter's first words and i wrote that for my wife

374
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,240
so she could have it on her phone and so it was a lot of fun um

375
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:13,679
but then i think back then obviously there was a lot of limitations to their

376
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:18,960
first moto droid and battery life kind of sucked and early Android wasn't as smooth it was

377
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:23,520
clunky it took them like a year to make touch wiz not a giant polygon

378
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:29,600
right but my problem with the samsung phones was the amount of bloatware they came with yeah so that drives me nuts

379
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:33,039
yeah i've never i've i've that's one reason why i'm on a pixel right now it's

380
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:37,200
just the stock experience is always preferred for me most most other phones

381
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:42,240
that i've had i've tried as hard as i possibly can to revert it to a

382
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:44,400
stock-based experience i do not like any

383
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:47,039
of the custom uis i don't like any of that kind of stuff it's all it's all

384
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,360
garbage this phone's too amazing let's crap it up boys yeah

385
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:54,480
i don't think i've never seen somebody ask you know say i would like this phone

386
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:57,919
to run slower please add your own software to it yeah you've never seen

387
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,880
anybody ask for the bixby i would like a little bit more lag well it's kind of

388
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,799
like it's kind of like laptops now we're like MSI is notorious for a crap ton of

389
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,919
dashboards and bloatware and stuff you know it's like you get rid of all that stuff it's a good experience but

390
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:13,919
otherwise when you work in a shop that sells not necessarily a pair

391
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:18,159
repair shop but when you work in a shop that sells laptops and one of your main

392
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:23,279
services is making them not junk out of the box that's that's like a weird weird

393
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:29,600
place to be we have poll results for the the question not surprising um i don't

394
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,600
think it's true at all

395
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:36,720
oh yeah definitely most people are lying well it might be a little bit of lying

396
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,840
it might be a little bit of subconscious shifting where you've decided that you

397
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,279
want that phone because of status anyways and you'll justify it because of performance or future reasons

398
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:50,000
and i think probably the strongest factor is that the audience that we have

399
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,720
well there's smartphone mvt right if you have a crappy phone the guy next to you

400
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,720
pulls out the latest version you're kind of like oh right i want that and the same thing if you got the latest one you

401
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,559
kind of want to be like everyone look at my phone you know i mean because it's

402
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:06,240
it's sad but it really is like an accessory yeah yeah yeah but like again with our

403
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:10,480
audience though it's it's a bunch of pc performance freaks i'm not that

404
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:14,000
surprised that pc performance freaks want high performance and high feature

405
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:18,080
phones if we did this survey across everyone

406
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,400
on the planet and everyone answered honestly i bet you status would probably

407
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,440
be higher than anything else probably but with this audience and with natural

408
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,240
skewing i'm not surprised it was 95 would people really admit that because

409
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:35,039
then they have to admit to themselves i spent an extra 400 for status and that's

410
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:38,880
not a pill that i think most people would swallow

411
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:44,240
yeah it's it's it's an interesting question like the do you buy things for

412
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,039
for like like functionality over aesthetic or aesthetic over

413
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:51,679
functionality i think a lot of people will say that they buy something for

414
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:56,320
functionality but they might even be buying the aesthetic of functionality if

415
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,520
that makes sense if something looks like it's highly functional then they want

416
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,559
that thing it's it's a really interesting mind game scenario because

417
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:06,960
you might be convincing yourself of something and not even realizing there's a

418
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:11,440
there's a dimension of that that's sort of uh related which is

419
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,679
taking your customizations and your settings and stuff and that has always

420
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,559
been like if you spend a lot of time customizing your phone or customizing

421
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,480
whatever it is to make it exactly just so you will be punished because every

422
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,240
time there's an update or every time you switch phones it is super difficult to

423
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,360
get all those customizations from one device to another and it shouldn't be

424
00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:34,799
yeah that's one of the few things i liked about apple's operating system is that when you use migration assistant

425
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:38,559
and time machine it just copies everything every app even the

426
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:41,360
settings within your applications will get all even your third-party

427
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:47,279
applications all get copied over perfectly it's really one of the reasons why i stayed on excuse me iOS for so

428
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:51,440
long was simply because new phone copy from previous backup you know

429
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,159
restore up and running and everything's exactly how i left it i don't even use

430
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,640
the ecosystem i don't have a watch i don't have an air i don't have an apple

431
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,520
or what's the apple tv thing i don't have anything i have no other part of the

432
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,720
ecosystem i even have a macbook but even they aren't connected yeah yeah

433
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,840
microsoft really screwed the pooch with the registry because the registry was

434
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,799
supposed to be that and also your application data folder and like theoretically you can move that between

435
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,960
machines but in reality you can't it ends badly every time yeah

436
00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:19,760
you can copy certain features of certain applications but not everything and you

437
00:29:18,399 --> 00:29:24,080
have to reinstall the applications yourself i noticed that when when you

438
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,919
upgrade to a new phone new device right it doesn't save the apps or anything it

439
00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:31,679
saves the app data and then re-downloads the apps fresh and then re repopulates

440
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,520
the data yeah which before it used to be like you said a direct copy which was

441
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,240
even i believe in the earlier days was even copying the battery data which was making new batteries perform like four

442
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:44,240
batteries because of that efficiency scale yeah so i did notice that when i

443
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,440
upgraded this one yeah that was one of the worst things like uh

444
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:51,919
working in a like computer shop and you'd be doing

445
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,440
services and you someone would buy a new computer and they'd want a data transfer

446
00:29:53,919 --> 00:29:59,760
and i try to because i tried to be at least somewhat honest i would try to explain to them

447
00:29:58,159 --> 00:30:03,520
this is pretty easy to do on your own but if they wanted it anyways sure

448
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,559
whatever sounds good and you go to do it and then you have to tell them that they

449
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,320
can't bring any of their programs and there's just that kind of

450
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,159
that's a 20-minute conversation and there's like this ratio where like as

451
00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:17,279
the customer is older the conversation is longer yeah yeah yeah

452
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,159
there's yeah and then you have to explain well you have to remember your own wi-fi password and you'll have to do

453
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,600
this and that because we do data recovery and sometimes we can recover it

454
00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:28,720
to where you can do a you can use migration assistant when you

455
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:32,000
get older programs and sometimes you can't and i'm just copying your data

456
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:35,039
folder from here to here and a lot of people even if i explain to them you

457
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,880
have to reinstall your programs your settings will not be the same when they

458
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:42,720
show up they go where's my where's my stuff yeah wait it's all in this folder

459
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:48,799
i'm like yeah your music is in the music folder okay but where's the library

460
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,840
and it's like well no it's in there you just got a little bite

461
00:30:51,919 --> 00:30:57,120
and it's just i mean yeah i've had people actually break down with tears

462
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,720
because they didn't remember their email password yeah your email password was in

463
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:04,320
the i'm like i can't get you that it's like

464
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:09,760
yeah and the email password's an interesting one too because one of the biggest things is

465
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,039
is uh like they won't have a password manager they won't have written their

466
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:18,080
passwords down which i guess that's good but they won't know how to log into

467
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,600
anything yeah and it's just like it's

468
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,720
painful carrying those sessions over would be super nice yeah what they're

469
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,960
paying for is not for you to transfer the data they're paying for the half hour conversation you're going to have

470
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:32,399
about every single program yeah yeah there's some people that it's it's literally it's just not even worth

471
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,200
uh upgrading the computer because they would just lose all their stuff yeah

472
00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:38,960
it's like okay well i guess i'll deal with a slow terrible experience because

473
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,919
it's better than losing all my programs and all my settings and

474
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,840
all my logins and all that kind of thing yeah and that especially winds up being true in broadcast or in the music

475
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:49,440
business because people will have certain plugins and if you upgrade to a

476
00:31:48,159 --> 00:31:54,480
new operating system they won't they won't work anymore and you'll have to find alternatives or this program like

477
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:58,159
once they get a rig that works it works and they just they want to keep it as is

478
00:31:55,919 --> 00:32:01,360
and that stuff can cost a lot like a new operating system will mess up this is

479
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,159
always used to happen with os 10 in pro tools new os pro tools wouldn't work

480
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,000
right or it's just that stuff can be a nightmare for people

481
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:11,760
yeah the copy protection they bury things

482
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,200
somewhere on the system uh and sometimes it's just a software

483
00:32:13,679 --> 00:32:19,519
compatibility thing both of those things are terrible

484
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:23,840
what is it like on Linux because i've never actually tried every single Linux

485
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,919
version that i've had has been full pure from scratch every time so that's a

486
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,279
that's an interesting question i've never tried to migrate from machines

487
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:36,240
mostly it's okay so like i have um i have a file that

488
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,600
customizes the command line and provides some aliases and shortcuts

489
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,240
and stuff like that and i've been working on that for 20 years and i've never lost it and it's great and it's

490
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,519
just like the best thing ever so it's like literally 20 years of preferences

491
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:53,200
in that file other stuff that's the most Linux thing i've ever heard

492
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,720
other stuff not so good like other stuff the migration is a little bit more of a

493
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,600
pain one of the things that ubuntu has done

494
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:04,000
recently is they have this thing called snaps and so because you you like you

495
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,360
have this version of this library that this program needs and you need a

496
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,279
slightly different version of that library for some older program that can

497
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:15,600
be problematic to run those combinations of things and so one of the things that

498
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:20,000
snaps does for you is that it packages all of your dependencies inside this

499
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,440
file which uses more space but makes it aware that you have to worry about being

500
00:33:21,919 --> 00:33:27,760
able to run those things less so in terms of like i want to migrate all my programs and just be able

501
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,760
to run it with those kinds of technologies generally you're a lot more

502
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,399
successful but like a lot of the things with like caden live caden live is a

503
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:40,399
great example because we get lots of support requests for caden live on our forum cadenlab is a great program but 90

504
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:45,519
of the problems with caden live not actually caden live it's the libraries there are bugs in the libraries and so

505
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:49,360
you can have audio sync issues and things like that and that is just the

506
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:53,120
libraries on the system and so snaps can help with stuff like that on ubuntu cool

507
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,039
and other technologies on other distros can help with that so

508
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,799
it's very user respecting but it's still not quite

509
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:06,320
as slick of a solution as it could be right i am going to

510
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,840
take this slight intermission to do

511
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:12,480
something that i actually completely forgot that i had to do which is

512
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:15,679
sponsors so just give me a sec guys sorry

513
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:20,879
first up we have private internet access uh internet access uh is a vpn you guys

514
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:24,800
probably know what it is at this point uh it has encryption authentication

515
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:29,200
services it works for Windows macOS Android iOS Linux

516
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:34,320
again it still says Linus in the dock it drives me nuts it does not work on Linus

517
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,839
it works on google chrome and it has support for several other platforms

518
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,280
coming soon you can connect up to five devices under one account at the same

519
00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:46,639
time so you can have like your phone and your laptop and your desktop and whatever else all connected uh it has an

520
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,079
internet kill switch so if your vpn disconnects for whatever reason it will

521
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:53,520
disconnect you from the internet so that you don't accidentally send any data

522
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:56,639
under a non-encrypted channel and you can check it out today in the

523
00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:02,960

529
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,839

532
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:37,839
doesn't really matter uh their jerky is made with the best ingredients without

533
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,880
nitrates or preservatives their goal is to create a snack that is full of flavor

534
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:46,160
and spice that isn't bad for you they've got 13 different flavors of jerky we've

535
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:49,200
got which one is this teriyaki and

536
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,480

good yeah teriyaki

538
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:59,040

made with carolina reaper careful with that one and then this one is mojo

542
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,040
jalapeno so that's my favorite jerky and now they have a sauce for it so that's

562
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:39,599
doing something at a booth are you just kind of wandering around

563
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,960
i wasn't even informed uh anyone sitting here was going to be here until like the

564
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:47,680
beginning of this week and then i only knew you were going to be here until today so i'm actually quite excited we

565
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:52,880
talked about that earlier i actually knew for three months yeah

566
00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:57,599
communication around these parts is just absolutely fantastic yeah i just thought

567
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,839
i knew how to open or close an imac oh

568
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:04,880
was that his whole okay i told him like yeah you realize i've had employees to

569
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:08,079
like put those back together for the past five years

570
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:13,599
you don't know how to open or close this and i used to

571
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,720
figure it out yeah i'll just grab the board and go blink and he goes

572
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,079
and then the whole thing started chipping that was about oh yeah when i was just oh i don't think it's fitting

573
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:24,400
and i'm like yeah let me just push it hard

574
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:30,000
no spoilers but i legit got anxiety watching you guys work on that imac i

575
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,520
turned around and sat down on the wall like i didn't even like i was out of

576
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:38,079
eyesight because i was getting anxious watching i gave him the same service

577
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,079
that would give every customer

578
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:45,680
that's the uh that's the best ad i think i've ever heard no i've had like a store

579
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:49,440
manager come to me and say can you stop like showing us reading the letters that

580
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,640
customers write on screen because i'll be sitting there fixing a board and i'll

581
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:56,160
go oh this Thunderbolt doesn't look viewing or the other usb circuit looks

582
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,040
messed that we can always put that stuff back on later you don't really need that

583
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:03,200
and i'm saying it's kind of a joke because i'm going to get rid of that circuit and i'll put it back on once it

584
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,320
turns on but there'll be people watching going oh my god what is he doing to my

585
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:10,320
board they don't call them and say is that my word on the screen that you just ripped all that stuff off

586
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,599
you should know what you were getting

587
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:21,040
that's fantastic why is everyone spamming numbers i don't understand

588
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:26,880
i'm just going to mass ban people oh some people type f i don't know what that's terrible either that is f is pay

589
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,800
respects right yeah yeah people keep doing this so that's a that's a call of

590
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:34,720
duty meme where uh you you like walk up to i believe

591
00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:40,160
they're lowering the coffin of your like friend into the ground you're your

592
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,760
friend and fellow soldier um and you

593
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:46,560
like you have to press f on your keyboard type r for respect

594
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,400
what is f i think f is just like it's like an easy macro key so if your

595
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,680
fingers are on like what yeah you can well usually the two interact keys on

596
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:57,680
the game on a computer yeah i've never played

597
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,359
oh everyone's spanning f i thought everyone was doing numbers and i was like all right i'm just going to go

598
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:06,000
start banning people but you know what f is okay is it because the stream died

599
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:08,960
no it's just not showing here this is oh okay yeah

600
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:12,320
my eyes aren't great so i'm like trying to monitor the chat from here you have good enough internet that you could

601
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:17,680
watch your own stream while you're streaming it that's on two different devices oh yeah you're experiencing new

602
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:20,800
york internet i'm so sorry if somebody if i play the stream while i'm watching

603
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,920
it i'll get dropped frames this guy from rush actually maybe a little plug-in for

604
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,200
open broadcast or it'll say this many frames stolen by time warner with a

605
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:31,040
little logo and it'll go up and it matches the open broadcast account why

606
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:36,079
is internet in new york pat oh it's real bad it's right we've done news stories

607
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:39,359
on it it's so controlled it's such like there's so many little agreements from

608
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,640
all the little isps there that they don't compete with one another that

609
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:46,160
there's basically no service or infrastructure upgrades last 15 20 years

610
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:51,359
you either have verizon dsl in my location which is three megabit down and

611
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,440
point seven megabit up for or you get uh

612
00:40:51,359 --> 00:40:57,119
time warner which is 20 megabit up half the time for 409 plus tax the hotel i'm

613
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,400
staying at the hotel i'm staying at enrichment right now gives me 0.6 down 0.1 up oh i

614
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,760
went to upload a video today using the connection upstairs and i thought oh it

615
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:09,040
says six minutes remaining i must have uploaded the wrong file

616
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,640
audio by itself and it's like no that's 18 gigabytes and it says six minutes

617
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:16,480
remaining it's like at home and it'll say yeah 14 hours your video will be

618
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:20,480
yeah wow that's weird because like we have i couldn't operate

619
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,200
australia is horrible for internet and i've been learning that doing the flow

620
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:29,760
plane stuff that i've been doing speaking of which sponsorspot Floatplane.com heck yeah scrappy awards

621
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,560
this weekend okay i'm done um but uh

622
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,560
it's like even just getting servers like renting a server in australia is

623
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,920
ludicrously expensive because the internet's so crazy expensive and canada

624
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:43,359
has uh a similar problem of one of the problems

625
00:41:41,839 --> 00:41:46,480
that australia has which is large landmass not a ton of people they also

626
00:41:45,359 --> 00:41:50,880
have the problem of being kind of isolated and kind of off the main path

627
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:55,599
of most of the undersea cables but uh canada's problem were all extremely

628
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:58,640
spread out we all of canada has less population than just the state of

629
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:02,160
california and then a massive country so you put

630
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,560
those two together and it's not a really great combination luckily we're all

631
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:10,560
mostly nestled in these like cities that dot around the country so like vancouver

632
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:17,440
itself does pretty well this place has 1000 down 1 000 up uh my house

633
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:20,720
my like random suburbia house has fiber

634
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:24,000
uh 150 down 150 up

635
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:27,680
and i pay significantly less than you do

636
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,319
409 a month is like it's 4.67

637
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:34,560
409 a month for what 460 after time it's 20 megabit up 300 megabit down but the

638
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:39,200
20 megabit up it's like sometimes 20 sometimes 10 sometimes five sometimes i

639
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:42,720
actually had to get verizon dsl along with the time warner because the

640
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,680
time warner goes down so often that i got a pfsense router that will

641
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:50,079
automatically switch over to the hundred dollar a month verizon dsl when it dies

642
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:53,520
so that i can still process credit cards wow that's pretty typical for new york

643
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,400
yeah so i expect the time warner that costs 409 a month to go down often

644
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,280
enough that it's worth it to have another connection like me my studio is

645
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:05,520
in the greater la area and i've got 300 by 300 fiber for 99.

646
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:11,520
it's pretty yeah i'm paying i believe it's 99 uh but

647
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:15,520
i had like a signing bonus lowered for a temporary period of time thing for a

648
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,400
while now uh for my one there's a new construction

649
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,160
a little bit like 30 minutes south of where i live and there were big old

650
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,040
billboards as they were like you know getting the land ready that it's going

651
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,520
to be it was a fiber community or gigabit community

652
00:43:27,359 --> 00:43:33,040
and it's like it was like 59 bucks a month the other thing is uh on the

653
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:37,119
commercial side so like a lot of commercial internet is often much worse

654
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:41,119
than residential internet at the lower tier just because vra's in the time

655
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,960
warner in those companies they want at least twenty five hundred dollars a month for the internet connection even

656
00:43:43,839 --> 00:43:53,480
if the companies like and they try and guarantee that ninety nine point nine percent up time which is absolutely

657
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:53,480
pg with something yeah

658
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:00,160
yeah i've had to put a sign up on the door enough time to say cash only no

659
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,319
internet yeah that is so aggravating when you know that you're spending over 450 dollars on

660
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:08,480
internet i'm going to say with both of those internet connections that's insane

661
00:44:06,319 --> 00:44:11,520
oh right uh is this

662
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:14,800
local to ltx only or can you buy this stuff online

663
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:21,280
can you buy it online no no none of it

664
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:26,160
okay so if you're watching this and are going to be at ltx nice little combo you

665
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:30,720
can get a TechLinked pin an ltx lanyard which has like uh some

666
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:38,400
actually pretty cool graphics and stuff on it and a little quick disconnect thing at the back oh my um

667
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:40,640
this shirt which i've never seen before

668
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:45,520
oh yeah i have this is pretty cool this is just like a straight up Linus

669
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,520
tech tips shirt uh

670
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:53,599
what no notice there's guys oh okay okay okay this one's one of my favorite i

671
00:44:51,359 --> 00:44:58,160
don't really understand why we did this but i think it's awesome

672
00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:02,640
it's it's one of the editors uh so this is one of the editors dennis just

673
00:45:00,319 --> 00:45:07,040
making a face on a shirt it's great i i personally love it but i

674
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:11,920
can understand how uh some people might think it's a little a little funky uh

675
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:15,040
then i think we just have two other yeah these this is the Linus tech tips like

676
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:21,680
circuit logo shirt so there's basically different earlier edition graphics being given out

677
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:25,280
or being sold to ltx i believe so yeah this is another one of the circuit

678
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,760
designs um i thought there was another shirt as well but that might have been

679
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:35,680
only for the vip people i'm not really sure uh but yeah you can buy cool shirts

680
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:37,280
at ltx uh if you are watching this and

681
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:42,000
going to be there and didn't notice that you could buy shirts

682
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:46,800
and happen to see this there we go best ad spot ever

683
00:45:44,319 --> 00:45:49,520
yeah um what was i going to say next one thing

684
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:53,760
that i wanted to get through and i think we we might have time is because i always

685
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:59,119
find this quite interesting and we'll again actually we'll switch it we'll go

686
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,960
from this way over uh what got you into

687
00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:05,760
computers and technology in general my dad my dad after the military he was a

688
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:10,000
project manager and he was one of the he was one of the first

689
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:14,720
i don't say pioneers but he was a vp a senior vp for a company that was

690
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:18,480
building mainframes and and doing you know crazy old-school tape drive backups

691
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:22,160
and stuff and he basically talked to the company was like guys we need to get off

692
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:26,079
the mainframe and we need to get into computer uh project management

693
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,319
computer-based stuff pc stuff and this was back in like

694
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,640
80 and they didn't listen to him and of course

695
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:37,280
that company went belly up because they were one of the leaders in the mainframe and everyone was getting off the

696
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:40,319
mainframe and but he uh so when when that happened he ended up going to

697
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:45,040
business for himself writing project management software and from my

698
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,960
earliest memories i was always on his lap while he was on the computer doing

699
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,680
his thing and he had no that he said the best thing he ever did for me was when i

700
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,319
would try and touch the computer he never was like no no don't touch don't touch he was always like he would save

701
00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:00,400
his work and just be like have fun just type away and mash on the keyboard so he

702
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:04,079
never once told me i couldn't touch anything right so i've always done that

703
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:09,119
with my kids it's kind of gone you know three generations or two

704
00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:11,920
generations at this point now my youngest daughter now is she's three and

705
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:18,640
a half and showing interest in the computer which is i think is fantastic sure um so yeah it was it was just my

706
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:22,720
dad and that was just life was computers and

707
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,160
as long as i remember so it's that simple i think i've told my story a

708
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:30,640
million times so i'll i'll do a very brief version of it uh but i i just

709
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,800
wanted to play diablo and the computer stopped working so i learned how to fix

710
00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:38,400
it so i could keep playing diablo um and it's gone from there uh there's there's

711
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:43,599
longer versions but you've probably heard a million times it's i i don't really i mean i don't

712
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:47,920
really know where to start there was i find yours kind of interesting because you were like super in the middle of

713
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:53,040
nowhere right yeah i was i was super in the the the first event

714
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:57,839
really that led to that was uh there was this old guy and well i was sort of

715
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,880
bored in school and they were trying to figure out how to deal with that because

716
00:47:59,359 --> 00:48:05,280
it was like kindergarten or first grade or something and there was an old guy

717
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:08,640
visiting from the stevens institute and he's like all right let's figure this

718
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:14,000
out so we set up an apple ii to with like a wooden break to measure

719
00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:16,880
your reaction time when like you hit the thing it would it was like a basic

720
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:23,280
program that would run and tell you what your reaction time was for like breaking in a car and so he walked me through

721
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:26,720
soldering wires into something inside the apple ii and then writing a program

722
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:31,280
on the apple ii and doing all the stuff and i was like i have to learn more and so when you were in kindergarten in

723
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,920
grade one i was very young yeah that's quite because that's a project because i

724
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,200
like took everything apart i got in trouble for taking apart like the tv

725
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:41,680
yeah in school which is what led to that

726
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:46,800
okay i was i needed a machine to work on some

727
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:50,640
sessions in logic pro and the studio that i was working at it closed down so

728
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:54,960
i bought a macbook because i was broke used on ebay and it arrived broken i got

729
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,000
a discount on it so i bought uh the screen that i needed to fix it and then

730
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:01,119
when i didn't need it anymore i sold it and i realized i made a profit of two or

731
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:05,839
three hundred dollars so i thought let me do this again so i was buying and reselling them for a month or two then i

732
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:11,520
wanted to i started offering the services to other people i didn't think it was economically viable but then i

733
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:15,280
realized the part is 80 to 90 and apple charges 1200 at the time to replace the

734
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:18,480
entire screen assembly so i just kept doing that over and over again people

735
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:21,680
started bringing liquid damaged ones eventually so i started sending them off

736
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:25,520
to a company in china that would fix them they were doing worse and worse job

737
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,359
as time went on so i figured if i've been working on recording studio

738
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:33,200
equipment and consoles at component level let me see if i can figure out how

739
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,559
to do this so after a lot of i think a few years of painfully messing around

740
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:40,000
and bailing a lot and recording a lot of it for youtube i got decent enough at it

741
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:45,280
that i could offer it to regular customers and that was that i think the youtube thing

742
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:48,880
started from uh making a video because reseller ratings was trying to up the

743
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,559
rate by about a thousand percent so i did a video on their process that got

744
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:56,160
120 000 views that i thought would get 10 and

745
00:49:53,920 --> 00:50:01,040
that was that cool and you you've mentioned audio stuff a few times

746
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:04,400
uh this way in show so what what was your involvement in the music

747
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:07,680
industry i worked at i went to avatar studios and i said that i would i

748
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,800
remember saying something like i would rather wash the toilets here than work at any

749
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:15,839
other place for money and i remember i showed up from my interview and the guy

750
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:21,200
asked what is this thing that i had in my pocket and it was a semi headphone amplifier that i put together myself

751
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:24,400
from stuff that i bought on ebay and he said you're hired i think that was roy

752
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:28,240
hendrickson that hired me so i worked there and i cleaned the toilets and i

753
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:31,440
cleaned the you know all the the floors and the consoles and everything

754
00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:34,160
for three months and then i uh after working there for free after three

755
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,920
months i got to work in the tech room with the other people working on ssl

756
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:42,480
consoles and eve consoles to retape machines and that was that cool sweet it

757
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:47,839
was fun i think with that we are oh no we have about 10 minutes

758
00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:53,040
left let's see if there's any actual topics to talk about

759
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:55,280
uh no topics no no turns out recycling

760
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:58,240
garbage in like the poor part of the thing that's also a really good way to

761
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:02,880
get technology that's how i got most of my first computers it's like let's

762
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:05,839
frankenstein stuff together i think i feel like

763
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:10,400
most people that are into computers have a similar story that like my favorite

764
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:13,440
one is uh i went to a like a country high school we didn't have very much

765
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:18,079
money especially not in the tech departments and uh

766
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:21,839
the way that we built a new computer lab because we needed one really badly because there's a lot of kids in the

767
00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:25,280
school that were interested in computers it was just designed as a country school

768
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,800
so it was the most trades and stuff the way we built a new computer lab was

769
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,359
my teacher waited for the truck that went to all

770
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:36,559
the different schools and picked up all their broken computers because they did it once every like few years and called

771
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:39,359
him the guy directly i don't know how you got his number and diverted him to

772
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:44,079
our school which i really originally what he wasn't planning to go to because we had no computers to give up and he

773
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:48,000
was like yeah we got some stuff just like leave the truck for a little while

774
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:51,119
and he left the truck and we offloaded everything that was on there which was

775
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:55,920
like not supposed to happen i'm not going to say your name but thank you very much teacher um because i think the

776
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,920
hard drives and stuff that were on there yeah but we took everything we shoved it all in

777
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:04,160
one room and then my teacher was just like okay bye thank you leave now um and

778
00:52:02,319 --> 00:52:07,839
we spent the next few months that whole computer class

779
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:11,520
just like we would like oh my goodness okay this motherboard actually works

780
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:14,480
let's find all the cpus and all the RAM and everything that can go into this

781
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:17,920
board and test all of it and mark everything as good or bad and like find

782
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,839
all the use those to find all the motherboards that work and like

783
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:26,240
we ended up building like one and a half computer Labs out of it that was a

784
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:29,920
really really cool project we had uh i was accused by the time i

785
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:32,800
made it to high school i was accused of black magic because the local repair

786
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,800
place would always replace the motherboard whenever a ps2 whenever a

787
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,280
kid would something the ps2 ports were really bad because like if you pulled

788
00:52:37,839 --> 00:52:42,880
the keyboard the wrong way blow the fuse on the motherboard and so it was not

789
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,760
surface mount it was through hole it was really easy to replace and i would be

790
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:49,520
like well let's just crack it open take the motherboard out and replace the

791
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:52,960
the through-hole fuse and the local computer repair company was like black

792
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,680
magic witchcraft burn him burn him at the stake

793
00:52:54,240 --> 00:53:00,800
we got to replace the motherboard we can't just repair them that's like three cents we can't do it

794
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:06,000
so yeah that was not fun in a poor high school where they can't afford a thousand bucks a machine

795
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:08,880
to replace stuff and you i'm just i don't know why i'm

796
00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:14,720
jumping back to this now i kind of skimmed over it when you were first telling the story but uh you built a

797
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,800
amplifier you said it was a semoy means they have all these guides online and

798
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:21,920
how to build them it's a headphone amplifier that you build into an altoids can that's powered off a nine volt

799
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:25,599
battery so what got you into that though i just enjoyed hi-fi audio okay yeah

800
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:30,000
yeah yeah so you wanted to like kind of build something yeah i just thought it was something cool to do in my spare

801
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,680
time and i've seen uh if i remember correctly you have those like the i'm

802
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:38,319
going to use the wrong term but the sound dampening panels yeah those sound

803
00:53:35,359 --> 00:53:43,280
dampening piles uh panels yeah yeah yeah piles of cat yeah in my office and at

804
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:47,359
home yeah are you still into custom hi-fi stuff yeah yeah cool what's what's

805
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,319
like the most recent custom hi-fi project you've done uh like just the

806
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:54,480
vanderstein set of speakers that i have at home you really don't need really expensive stuff to make it sound good

807
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:58,079
you can find new stuff online like vanderstein speakers for four hundred

808
00:53:56,319 --> 00:54:02,240
dollars a cheap amplifier and some of those uh corning 703 panels and it'll

809
00:54:00,319 --> 00:54:06,559
sound amazing yeah i've i've actually been for a while now i've wanted to copy

810
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:11,040
your your sound dampening panel project you just can't have a cat because if you

811
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,040
have a cat then yeah yeah

812
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:18,000
they use it as a scratching post they've made it that entire section of my apartment look like garbage

813
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:24,400
that's right the cat is cute so it gets away you worked in it for quite a while

814
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:27,680
um i had several hats in that company um but i worked

815
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,280
very close well i started actually doing energy audits and stuff

816
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:36,160
within the company and we also wrote our own software to run on various devices

817
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:39,040
either ipads or the samsung devices i mentioned

818
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:43,040
and we had major contracts with the power companies and then

819
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:46,000
rit department was extremely overworked and supporting all these devices

820
00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:49,680
upgrading getting ready to go repairing them

821
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:53,839
and we also had our in-house you know a software development team and then the

822
00:54:51,599 --> 00:54:58,319
more they realized that i was the guy that was actually going around

823
00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:01,119
in the field helping other people people so get a problem you have to call in to

824
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:04,880
the help desk right and our help desk was three guys trying to support a

825
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:08,400
company of 350 field agents and it was like that could get overworked really

826
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:12,720
easy yeah and that was the same rit department of three was the same guys

827
00:55:10,319 --> 00:55:18,000
also building and managing our um three country-wide six major cities

828
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:21,760
vpn that kept all of our offices in communication so if they were doing that

829
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,440
or they were out at a data center or something we were just like

830
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:28,240
down in person yeah so i was the guy that everyone started calling out in the

831
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:32,480
field to come help them if they had tech problems with their equipment or something was broken needed it fixed

832
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:36,319
when the company realized i was doing that then they were like hey do you want

833
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:39,520
to manage our help desk and i was like i don't know we'll see so

834
00:55:37,839 --> 00:55:42,960
because i knew i had all the end user experience as well as the technical

835
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:46,480
know-how to keep it all working well once i got into that role they realized

836
00:55:45,119 --> 00:55:51,680
i also knew an okay amount of uh coding and design

837
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:55,440
from my dad being a project a software developer so then they were like you

838
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:59,599
want to be a part of our qcqa team if you're part of our automated testing and i'm like wait so you want me to do help

839
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:03,599
desk management and this so basically i ended up having like these three hats at

840
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:06,640
one time um which really burned me out to be honest

841
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,839
because i did that for almost 10 years right and then that was when i started

842
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:16,960
doing the youtube thing and just kind of moved out of there but it was fun i learned a lot um obviously it was unique

843
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:20,400
to have this kind of a venn diagram of experience right all three of those

844
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:24,799
aspects you know development support and then end user

845
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:28,079
which uh really gave me a unique understanding of what it's like from top

846
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:32,480
to bottom when it comes to product testing and use yeah so i i try and take

847
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:37,040
everything from a very practical perspective of how i approach tech

848
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:40,960
but i do have a a very high level knowledge too on where a lot

849
00:56:38,799 --> 00:56:44,240
of it starts and but i try not to really go into any of that in my content

850
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:48,160
because i leave stuff for that like wendell and gamer's nexus yeah the guys

851
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:52,400
who can actually communicate in that in a manner which people can understand

852
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:56,079
because i'm very good at practical use but i'm very bad at technical

853
00:56:53,839 --> 00:57:00,400
explanation okay so and i'm going to take something that you

854
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:05,520
said and something that you explained uh but so you you got into youtube because

855
00:57:02,559 --> 00:57:09,119
you wanted to kind of express annoyance from who was it customer reseller rating

856
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:13,760
resellers.com uh and you mentioned that you started to get

857
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:18,480
into youtube at that time but why did you start to get into youtube it was a

858
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,680
dare oh someone dared me okay um so i

859
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:24,400
was live yeah well i was live streaming um

860
00:57:22,319 --> 00:57:27,680
call of duty three close co close quarters when it launched because nick

861
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,520
coconut monkey and i were good friends we played that all the time and i had

862
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:36,400
started live streaming it because when when it dropped for um premium access

863
00:57:34,319 --> 00:57:39,440
early access he was like with a family on vacation he couldn't play it so he's

864
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:44,160
all butthurt so i basically was like okay i'll find out how to stream it so you can watch and see the early access

865
00:57:42,799 --> 00:57:47,920
um another gentleman by the name of holiday doc came in and just randomly

866
00:57:46,319 --> 00:57:52,000
found my stream and he was a pretty well known like call of duty codcaster for

867
00:57:49,839 --> 00:57:54,640
like mlg and he just thought that i was funny and entertaining and we became

868
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,559
friends and after a couple of months he's like you should do youtube people would find

869
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,760
like this tech stuff interesting because i became like the guy he asked pc

870
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:07,200
questions to because he didn't know anything about pcs and then he was like you should do stuff

871
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:10,720
like this on youtube i said and then and at the time i didn't know Linus tech

872
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:15,440
tips i didn't know people made livings on youtube i was this is 2012 i was

873
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:18,400
super ignorant to what was going on i was like who the heck would watch a

874
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:22,079
channel about computers that sounds like the most boring thing

875
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,599
anyone would ever spend their time doing he's like well just try it so he i

876
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,480
basically told him i'll i'll try it but what it fails will you leave me alone

877
00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:34,319
he kept bugging me about doing it and so i was like fine i'll try it and then of

878
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:38,160
course it just sort of steadily took off and i've since like built him a computer

879
00:58:35,839 --> 00:58:42,400
and sent him parts yes you're pushing me it's it's one of

880
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:47,760
those things where i only did it to show that it would not work yeah and fast

881
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:50,319
forward six years it's now my it's not incorporated and it's now

882
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:55,520
helping other people pay their bills because now i have employees so it's crazy

883
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:59,280
i uh that's that's actually really cool and i like the part where you sent them

884
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:03,119
a computer and parts and stuff that's kind of cool to pay it back i i

885
00:59:01,119 --> 00:59:08,400
got into youtube because uh i was like really really into

886
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:12,079
mechanical keyboards like before america really had very many

887
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:16,079
mechanics that sounds rare but people are like really into that yeah it it

888
00:59:14,319 --> 00:59:18,400
there there's there's forums dedicated to it and stuff it's just not that big

889
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:23,359
of a community um and i had like i had my own like

890
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:25,920
imported from taiwan keyboard and all this kind of stuff and i wanted to show

891
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:31,200
it off because i was proud that i had finally actually gotten a mechanical keyboard instead of just researching

892
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,720
them online all the time uh so i filmed a video of that and then never released

893
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:37,520
it and now there's uh some people have watching this have probably seen it but

894
00:59:35,839 --> 00:59:40,880
there's a video of lioness and i watching that video both just

895
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:45,599
essentially maybe yeah because that was when it was like critiquing your first video like that a

896
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:49,599
lot of people were doing that yeah yeah so we we critiqued a video that no one

897
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:53,200
had seen because it was never released anywhere right um so that the director's

898
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,880
commentary thing we were talking about like as it's airing and then you're so embarrassed because you're like oh my

899
00:59:55,359 --> 01:00:00,880
god i can't believe i said that yeah by the time you think like you nailed this video you go back and you look and

900
00:59:59,359 --> 01:00:04,319
you're like wow i'm an idiot especially because i said something that was like

901
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:09,520
factually incorrect what was your first mechanical keyboard uh dk 9008 g2

902
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:15,920
from ducky oh see i mean ducky's announcement it's still the keyboard that i yes

903
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,520
my first was a razer black widow oh yeah

904
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:21,119
okay i remember i mean it was nothing super special but it was a blue switch

905
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,400
without that was super cool until i started streaming

906
01:00:22,799 --> 01:00:27,359
i still stream with it i don't even care people are going to deal with it m or

907
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,440
bust do you use one i do okay i've got a

908
01:00:29,599 --> 01:00:35,280
black model m actually actually that's cool a fairly impressive collection of

909
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:38,559
the uh ssk model amps as well the numpadless ones yeah i have a mask i

910
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,280
should be able to make it until i'm about 80 if i only use

911
01:00:40,799 --> 01:00:46,720
the ssks because that's pretty sweet the model and the you know comp still makes

912
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:51,599
the model m but it's a little lighter it's not quite construction yeah um the

913
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:54,559
the earlier ones are better the later ones they've gotten a lot of money from

914
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:58,880
like the healthcare industry and stuff so unicomp is making higher quality products than they were even a couple of

915
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:04,480
years ago and uh there it's almost as good but

916
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:07,839
man those assets like it's nice the only thing i really missed

917
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:11,359
are the extra keys so i've had to like remap my keys for things on the right

918
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:18,480
side of the keyboard but it's not bad yeah i i have one properly functioning

919
01:01:14,799 --> 01:01:20,000
model m but i generally don't use it

920
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:24,240
um i've got a bunch of the ones with the num lock you can totally have one

921
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:27,040
or with like the number pad yeah yeah that's fine that'd be cool i can even

922
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:31,599
give you new inbox i've got like four of those of like the original yeah holy cow

923
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:35,839
that would be pretty cool i will uh we'll we'll talk later

924
01:01:33,359 --> 01:01:40,480
but uh how do you get into youtube um the very first video that i made was

925
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:45,520
actually even before the thing but like i used to well it's a long story but

926
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:48,799
even before all of that there is a video that i'm surprised that no one found and

927
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:55,440
it was when uh Windows vista came out i was so angry

928
01:01:53,359 --> 01:01:59,280
i probably should have been medicated and i was really worried about privacy

929
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:04,079
and things like that but i made a driver showing how NVIDIA had completely

930
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:09,680
screwed the pooch on 64-bit drivers under 64-bit vista they literally took

931
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:13,280
their 32-bit driver and pasted it into a

932
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:15,280
64-bit uh wrapper i was so mad i could

933
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,640
not see straight i was seething with anger because it was like you know right

934
01:02:17,359 --> 01:02:25,200
up to the beta launching video was like really come out with a driver and then after vista went into production they

935
01:02:23,359 --> 01:02:28,880
were like okay cool here's a real driver and it was still the same garbage that

936
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:32,000
had been for like the last six months before that and so there's a video on

937
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:36,559
youtube of me losing my mind and ranting about this

938
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,119
horrible pile of garbage driver that doesn't work and it'll work for five

939
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:43,359
minutes and then crash and the whole reason was that as soon as a program

940
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:46,960
would try to do anything outside of that 32-bit address space with that 64-bit

941
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:51,280
driver it would crash because it wasn't really a 64-bit driver

942
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:55,599
so there's that and that's the very first thing i did on youtube technically

943
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,760
i guess yeah if i want to be specific the very first stuff i did on youtube

944
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:03,280
was uh again this is the only reason why i thought of it even i usually forget

945
01:03:01,119 --> 01:03:06,160
about this but you mentioned no one found it so far no one has found this i

946
01:03:05,119 --> 01:03:10,559
checked a little while ago and it was still there i don't know why the titles are so bad it's probably why people

947
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:16,960
can't find it but no click bait here but uh this was i

948
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:19,039
used to do guides on how to get 100 sync

949
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:24,319
in like assassin's creed levels

950
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:25,520
and like no one cared it was great um so

951
01:03:24,319 --> 01:03:29,599
what another thing i want to ask you about is you recently developed and

952
01:03:27,839 --> 01:03:34,799
started selling why am i forgetting the name of them right now

953
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:36,720
yes you uh like multi-port kvms with

954
01:03:34,799 --> 01:03:40,880
really really really high-end features so that was another thing that was made

955
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:44,319
me almost as mad but not quite as mad as the NVIDIA driver thing that's why i

956
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:47,920
brought it up and it was like all right i can do something about this this is

957
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:53,039
the thing that i can fix because the world of kvms for like 4k and like

958
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:57,280
displayport 60 hertz it's terrible it's really terrible

959
01:03:55,200 --> 01:04:02,480
and most i know of even now are still like vga stuff yeah yeah and like the

960
01:03:59,839 --> 01:04:07,200
usb functionality is like it's designed for like the five dollar usb keyboard

961
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:11,119
which has like one of three of the cheapest usb chips known to man but if

962
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:14,799
you get an RGB keyboard it doesn't work or if you've got like the Corsair

963
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:17,920
keyboards once the driver loads it's not even really a keyboard anymore and so

964
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:22,880
good luck getting that to work with the kvm and so i just i found

965
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:26,480
i found somebody in taiwan that had basically the hardware that i needed but

966
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:31,920
i got them to tweet the hardware for me and i got to do software that solves the

967
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:36,799
problems for people like us that would be trying to do things with a kvm that

968
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:40,319
has you know a 4k displayport 1.2 whatever and

969
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:45,440
i basically already had a customer lined up for them so i was just sort of selling the seconds but they sold so

970
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:48,559
well that we did two other runs and it is shocking the people that have come

971
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:52,319
out of the woodwork to buy the kvms and generally it's done really well uh

972
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:56,559
interestingly macs are the things that uh have the biggest problem like the the

973
01:04:54,559 --> 01:05:01,440
trashcan mac pros don't actually follow the displayport spec at all no way yeah

974
01:04:59,599 --> 01:05:05,520
so that's the most surprised no way i've

975
01:05:03,119 --> 01:05:05,520
ever heard

976
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:11,520
so they're a little problematic with max the modern max you have to use like a

977
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,720
Thunderbolt dock that has like a displayport socket you can't just use a

978
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,440
cheap cable and i don't know what that's about so i'm looking i'm working on that

979
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:23,119
yeah i know that the to every macbook with the since the touch bar with the dongle

980
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:27,359
if you use a dongle it's not the apple dongle your devices won't work yeah it's

981
01:05:25,359 --> 01:05:30,480
a rule i plan to do a real review of that and once i got to the point where i

982
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:34,160
plugged it in and i realized the dongle didn't work unless you use the 80 one

983
01:05:32,319 --> 01:05:38,400
and the 30 one worked and the two other machines i had i just couldn't stop that

984
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:42,799
well the one of the design choices on the kvm is that it does not have a

985
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:47,200
repeater and so a lot of the signal is like a lot of the

986
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:52,079
signal out of that displayport cable is just barely enough that if it's going

987
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:56,240
into the monitor it's fine but if you send it in through the

988
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:59,839
connector and then into the kvm which is like another four inches of cable and

989
01:05:57,599 --> 01:06:03,359
then back out again the signal noise ratio is not high enough for it to do a

990
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,760
proper digital sync or whatever on that cable and

991
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:11,920
it's infuriating because the spec says that it should be able to

992
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:15,839
push an unamplified cable that's like eight meters or something like that and

993
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,200
it you're lucky to get four i'd be interested in what chip sets the the

994
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:23,280
trash can one uses because i think i've only opened one of those ever it's a

995
01:06:20,799 --> 01:06:26,160
d300 but it goes through i think it goes through the board in the bottom and then

996
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,920
back out the connector in the back and so they have a repeater or something

997
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:34,160
in the board in the bottom and that's the problem oh yeah because if i like

998
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:37,119
just solder a little dongle directly on the

999
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:40,000
d300 it's fine so you'd have to tell your customers to solder it directly to

1000
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:43,760
the mac pro yeah it's some some of the witchcraft

1001
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:48,880
after the d300 before it makes it out of the mac because i'm assembling

1002
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:52,559
yeah the you mentioned the like i think it was like four inches or whatever of

1003
01:06:50,319 --> 01:06:55,280
cable within the within the box that was a i'm going to tangent here a fair

1004
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:59,200
amount but that was a really interesting situation when usb 3 start first started

1005
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:04,079
becoming popular and you'd have those cases that have front i o usb 3 but that

1006
01:07:02,079 --> 01:07:06,799
were just cable extensions that would go all the way out the back of the case and

1007
01:07:05,359 --> 01:07:10,240
plug into the back your motherboard and then you'd have people with really long

1008
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:14,640
usb 3 cables so you'd have people with like 15 feet worth of total actual

1009
01:07:12,799 --> 01:07:18,319
distance for usb 3 and then it won't charge their freaking devices that

1010
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:22,720
remains a problem on cases i mean the front panel usb 3 is still hit and miss

1011
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:25,440
it's still really a lot of cases yeah it's it's it's it's frustrating too when

1012
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:29,920
you we're finally in the era where it isn't those weird extensions that have to go

1013
01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:36,640
out the case and then into the motherboard in order to make it so you can plug in usb but they some cases will

1014
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:41,119
still have usb just like header cables for usb 3 that you could plug into a

1015
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:44,960
different case like it's like why is it so long this is actually really bad but

1016
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:49,280
yeah most people most people don't know about that that being said though i think we're going to cut it here because

1017
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:52,880
you have to grab a plane i have a flight yeah he has to get out of here uh thanks

1018
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:58,720
for watching the WAN Show this was a bit of a bit of a different way to do the

1019
01:07:54,720 --> 01:08:00,720
WAN Show uh we half covered one topic uh

1020
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:06,160
but i think it was good it was fun to talk about a whole bunch of different stuff i'm going to let people shout out

1021
01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:07,280
their channels again uh so lewis rossman

1022
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,760
group guesses 2 s's

1023
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:17,839
perfect there we go i will see you guys next week i will possibly see you guys

1024
01:08:16,239 --> 01:08:24,930
at ltx i'm gonna enjoy some more of this savage i'll be there tomorrow do it

1025
01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:36,679
uh

1026
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:56,239
yay private internet access for all your privates yeah ltx

1027
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:07,120
i need to get shilling scenes in open broadcaster dude it's great that's great

1028
01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:07,120
i have to do it manually it sucks
