WEBVTT

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

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:12.000
phone because because of the should that i just did you get them no

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:16.000
okay you guys are going to witness some fly hunting throughout the show because

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:23.279
there's one that just will not leave us alone and i believe lewis is going to murder it before we're done uh but to to

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.400
introduce people here louis rossman um

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:28.240
fighter of apple repairer of everything

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:33.280
uh what's your like channel and stuff what various callouts uh rossman group

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

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.840
one text wendell how's it going Linux masterman if you oh don't hit me

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.879
now where'd it go

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.320
this will be a recurring theme it's a big one too

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

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

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:08.159
gold let's go

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:12.000
right on the face i love how you're like i'll take it and

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:16.720
then it goes okay here we go right here yeah okay yeah uh channel level one text

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.640
any other callouts you want to do how's it going yeah there we go wendell

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.000
jay's two cents you guys probably know jay uh

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:28.880
everywhere yeah with a z it's not jay-z on twitter no but if

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

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.000
WAN Show will probably not be super standard we have some news topics i

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

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.240
updates to the macbook pro uh chrome is

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

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

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:58.110
fly i'm gonna roll the intro and we'll be back in a second

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:28.800
you're probably either okay or not um private internet access vpn

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.160
and savage jerky are the sponsors for this show i'm gonna

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.160
try to reset this and then go back to maine

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.080
so new macbook pros coming out um they have replaced the keyboard

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.879
uh but as we were talking before the show it's not gonna fail anymore

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:50.560
wrong it is a third generation butterfly

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:52.080
keyboard however this design was was not

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.599
intended to solve the recently highlighted butterfly keyboard issues

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

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

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:09.599
begin with right you're just typing too hard so what what was theatrica i generally

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.519
stay away from from those but what was the actual problem well people would say

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:39.280
showing up a day with the same problem and calling and emailing about it i

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:43.440
realized this is going to be a thing yeah yeah

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.959
that's the super shallow flat real thin key yes the thin key that goes

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:50.080
like every time you type it that really obnoxious annoying one it's not like a

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:54.560
nice mechanical keyboard noise it's a mechanical keyboard noise without any of

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.439
the mechanic part yeah there's no bass to it it's just

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:01.280
yeah they just have like i was not a fan of that keyboard

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:04.879
at all like i couldn't type on it yeah the throw is just so short

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:08.319
but basically what i'm hearing here is we got a new keyboard but

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:12.720
it could potentially have all the same problems as the other one well yeah they

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:15.519
they specifically didn't even roll this keyboard out to fix the

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.479
problem so i assume i assume there will because it was never a problem

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

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.840
it's more than like a year old it's exponentially more likely to fail

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.080
unnaturally or is it is it age related at all

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

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

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:41.440
to do it weird

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:44.880
not good well just like iphone 4 just don't hold it that way yeah

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:49.600
it's just this really weird level of utopianism where i think like if

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:52.240
it honestly reminds me what my history teacher used to talk about with the with

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.360
uh russia and the soviet union where somebody would be we called the counter

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

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

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

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

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.320
guy that says that winds up one day out of applecare uh with a machine where

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

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

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.840
get they released the replacement program for it why didn't you get it and

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:31.280
one of the funny things was the 2010 macbook where they it had a crashing

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

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

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

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.039
would be able to get it but but if you believe that apple products are this

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

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.560
express ssds in 2013. um they have really great screens they don't crash as

00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.919
often if you're comparing its older Windows and something goes wrong you

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:04.240
really don't want to believe that the product is bad yeah so you either have

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:07.280
to admit that they have faults or you have to deny your own experience and

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.520
what drives me nuts is when people will actually believe i'm typing on it wrong

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

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:18.479
nuts it's not that the product itself is terrible it's that when something goes

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.840
wrong with it people will just treat themselves as if they did something wrong

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:25.360
rather than if the company did something because they truly believe the product

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

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

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

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.919
they'll just believe that they did something wrong and it drives me up a

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.520
wall yeah and it's it's it's

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.600
it's a frustrating experience too because like i i've generally liked

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:51.840
apple's ecosystem because i will send certain people there uh like like for

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

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

00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.639
said they're they're quite easy to use they're usually fairly intuitive all

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:06.560
that kind of stuff but then when you start having these problems it's like oh

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.400
okay you're spending with this new macbook up to like seven thousand

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:14.560
dollars if you want to get the crazy max to your oh they they get pretty

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:19.919
expensive what you can get six cores 32 gigs of RAM uh like four terabyte ssds

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

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.520
anytime you tear up anything in apple's customizer it's really expensive and

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

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

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

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:44.400
might try to you know like you update in the middle or yeah

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:48.400
nonsense like that man okay so for ltx which is tomorrow uh

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

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

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.919
and one of them came over here with his business laptop and he had a Windows

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

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

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:11.280
flash drive so he could get Windows onto a flash drive so he could completely

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

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:18.960
earned the people that will put up with this nonsense from apple just to escape

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:22.400
it i completely understand it well i've had two systems completely fail on

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:26.319
update to the point to where it was the system was completely unstable and i i

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.080
remember getting Windows vista with a new machine where when it first came out

00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:33.680
you couldn't even run programs without running an update you would just try to

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

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.399
open yeah there's a i don't know

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.519
really bad my what my computer was one of the

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:46.560
admittedly i guess probably over the overall spectrum of the amount of people

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

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

00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:58.399
times then i was at work and while i was at work my computer upgraded from

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

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

00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:10.240
going to work yeah whatever you come back suddenly in mid update and i had

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:13.440
even ran the scripts that are supposed to stop it but then they'd release some

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

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.080
enjoyed this entire conversation uh is that wendell has been almost silent

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.560
if wendell hasn't said anything yet we're not wrong

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

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:36.240
like Linux uh there are systems that i have

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.640
that have up times of like 600 days which is actually really bad because

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:42.640
there are kernel updates and security updates and stuff like that so those

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:47.680
machines are potentially a typhoid mary but yeah 600 days of uptime

00:09:45.920 --> 00:09:51.200
yeah i like running Windows in a virtual machine because then it's

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

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

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

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

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:10.480
will actually we're actually gonna do some rollbacks and force updates we're

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:13.600
gonna do comparative benchmarks to see how much it actually impacts your system

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

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:21.920
something's weird like we start going you know really super stuttery or

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:25.360
something we realize like oh look a background process update's happening

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.120
it's eating 25 percent of our resources yeah anatec ran into that with their um

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.160
their zen plus coverage yeah um the like

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

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:42.320
Intel and it was because they had the high precision timer which reading and

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.200
writing from hardware registers triggers the meltdown spectrum mitigations more i

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.640
guess yeah so depending on what you're doing you could have a significant reduction in

00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:55.120
performance right it's an interesting situation uh do you

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

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

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:07.600
yeah i spent i spent monday and tuesday with Anthony doing Linux stuff and it's

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:12.399
Linux on gaming gaming on Linux and so we look at native Linux on gaming which

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.640
is pretty cool basically works and then gaming through wrappers like wine and

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

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:25.279
and then finally virtualization and the horizon for doing everything through a

00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:29.040
virtual machine and not really sacrificing anything in terms of performance so i'm really looking

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

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

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:42.880
know arch or whatever and everything he just said is why we were talking earlier

00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:47.360
about how apple is sometimes more uh easily accessible

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

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.600
well you're going to have to do the metal API sorry

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

00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.680
workstation Linux was terrible for it but it's gotten a lot better yeah it's

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:07.440
not you know yeah it's still got some rough edges i

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.519
extremely rarely uh do do the hip things

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

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

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:22.800
dj had a giant MSI laptop with an art full RGB keyboard

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.240
and stuff and i was even thinking like that's just like weird

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

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

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:39.760
of the mechanical keyboard ones so like this is huge yeah it's a massive massive

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.200
cumbersome laptop that he brings to shows

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

00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:50.079
that a lot of consumers really want that i think consumers like thin and light

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

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:57.040
machine if it's got a replaceable keyboard and it's just a hair thicker

00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.560
that doesn't seem unreasonable you've talked about this a bunch with phones uh

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:30.800
phone every single reviewer they'll spend two or three paragraphs talking

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

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

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

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

00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:47.920
is made of premium materials but the regular person will say i can see

00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:50.639
fingerprints that's ugly yeah or they're going to stick it in the case anyway

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

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

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.880
the only thing i care about with bezel is whether or not it's slippery but

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.199
without a case yeah and the things are getting more slick over time you know

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

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

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

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

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:25.440
too terribly that somebody may actually consider buying it over something else

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:29.440
you know you have an extra eighth of a millimeter but you can replace the

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

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.279
standards but removable battery and metal back and still has a fingerprint

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:08.160
easy to service battery swaps you know for an average end user i think so i

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.839
think that design kind of peaked around probably the galaxy s3

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:16.800
because removable battery upgradable storage and it still had a plastic back

00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:20.079
yeah and there were cases for that you could replace the back like you got you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:51.120
years no reason to buy it and i think more

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

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

00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:06.480
interested on the exact percentages at least for our audience which is a

00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:09.920
terrible uh section if we want to be scientific but whatever i want to see

00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:14.720
the exact percentages of people that care about ultra thin bezels so check

00:16:11.839 --> 00:16:18.240
straw poll in the chat and uh s3 specifically i have one interesting

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.880
jeans pocket it goes flying smacks into

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

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:49.120
phone goes the other way tiny chip in the corner put everything back together

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:53.120
turn it back on works perfectly what phone was that s3 seriously that was a

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.560
hard phone to break yeah and like i think one of the things that actually

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

00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:04.559
the correct terminology for it but the force of the impact goes with each part

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:08.480
and lets it blow out the s3 one of the earlier gorilla glass yeah

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.559
yeah yeah when that actually meant something yeah before they kept making the grill gas

00:17:11.439 --> 00:17:16.400
thinner which then just made it as brittle as anything else yeah yeah well

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:20.079
the with the g5 where it's got the replaceable battery and still kind of

00:17:17.919 --> 00:17:23.919
modern i've replaced the battery in it twice yeah i mean it was basically a

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

00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:30.160
eight bucks from china yeah yeah that's the other thing you can get those

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:34.000
batteries so cheap if you buy them third-party so the the poll results for

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

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:42.720
care about ultra thin bezels and 28 well

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.679
i guess yeah 22 percent of people do that's the audience about people

00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:49.200
watching a tech in tech review channel yeah yeah

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.840
so it's skewed but i don't necessarily know in what

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.640
direction it's still it's such a high percentage that like we've seen it

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

00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:04.080
whatever like the first few minutes ratio it won't change a ton

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

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.840
you if you expose that pole to a much different audience yeah it might shift

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.120
it a bit more but i i kind of doubt it i i've had a

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

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:23.039
friends and family yeah like what would you want in a phone i remember reading

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

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:31.440
very you know with his 500 camera pointing at it saying this is me loading

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

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

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

00:18:39.919 --> 00:18:46.400
take forever is the does the battery last you know things like that with

00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:49.120
phones these days that can like play

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.480
relatively decent uh graphic fidelity games at relatively decent frame rates

00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:56.640
like they can probably open uber and google

00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:00.720
maps relatively i just feel like we've progressed so far in the mobile

00:18:58.320 --> 00:19:04.080
computing uh biologies and the passings are like the early days of smartphones

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

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:10.880
iphone 3 and 3g or 3gs you know it's like

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:14.320
back then it was a big deal like this one scroll smoother where the Android

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.520
was choppy and stuff where obviously there was big variants between the

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:21.200
devices but now everything's so damn close yeah it's really hard to

00:19:19.520 --> 00:19:25.760
differentiate a winner it really comes down to the to the interface i think the

00:19:23.360 --> 00:19:29.600
interface battle is the thing that keeps Android iphone and then i think like i'm

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

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:40.960
storm because you feel about the first generation storm it was terrible

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

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

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.080
click like the whole screen yeah but it only had one button in the middle right

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:56.160
as you got further out to the edge you got weaker a little bit more detail

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

00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:04.000
the time yeah you know iphone obviously didn't come to verizon until the the 4s

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:05.600
was out and then um it lagged so badly

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:10.160
right and then seven minutes so as soon as the droid one the original droid came

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:14.640
out i replaced the blackberry with that um and then i carried both iphone and

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

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:22.160
least back in 2013 what it was like to

00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:24.559
be a dual wielder you know yeah yeah i never had any experience on the other

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

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:34.400
was the biggest deal i had seen in a while because it massively i think was

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

00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:42.480
was massively underrated was the uh last generation t-mobile sidekick

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

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:50.159
think it would be a pile of garbage because java especially in those days

00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:53.760
because that was before Android but the thing with the phone is that if it

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

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

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

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:09.120
that was reflective so you're not going to get like photorealistic color but you

00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:14.159
could get color and so the battery life would last forever like days

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.919
because it wasn't actually having a backlight unless it was dark outside you

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

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:27.120
phone based on it being an accessory or a status thing

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:29.840
yeah right because i i think a lot of people choose their phone based on where

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

00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:38.640
about that how many people are gonna admit to that though probably very few

00:21:37.360 --> 00:21:43.039
it's not really much of a problem anymore but there was a there was a

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:46.480
while there where like the the pricey phones couldn't connect to like

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:17.360
when it first came to verizon was simply because it was something i couldn't get

00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:21.440
before and suddenly i could and everyone had it and i wanted it because of that

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

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

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.799
crazy but iphone 4 it was not completely unusable but the iphone one that didn't

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

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

00:22:40.320 --> 00:22:45.600
and go across what was your favorite phone

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

00:22:47.120 --> 00:22:52.720
incredible in 2010 because the other Android phones were slow and clunky i

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:55.760
was coming from a blackberry storm so six minute boot time opening browser

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

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

00:23:02.159 --> 00:23:06.960
of Android with it or a newer i shouldn't say new yeah

00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:10.559
and it also actually fit in your hand comfortably right very few phones will

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

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:20.320
has a similar problem to that he likes uh old iphones because they're much

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

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

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

00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:35.440
best six month period then probably the t-mobile sidekick yeah like the very

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.240
last generation one because you could really quickly but switch between a

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:42.720
bunch of tasks the web browsing wasn't terrible instant messaging wasn't

00:23:40.080 --> 00:23:46.159
terrible email was pretty good there was a there was one device before

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:51.039
that that was like really it was a little before that arrows the there was

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

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

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

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:09.760
going to be easy basically that story yeah um s3 was awesome

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.559
the thing was a tank i had it for so long i think it still works

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

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

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

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

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:36.080
you guys can't see that but that that uh that fangirl is pretty nice

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

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:43.679
three i was so excited i felt like my leg was

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

00:24:46.159 --> 00:24:50.720
what about you i really liked the s3 just because it was a good size

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.559
improvement but i don't want to copy your answer so probably my original

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:57.840
droid because i i actually played around back then with a lot of rooting

00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.640
different roms actually wrote it my own soundboard app

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

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

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:13.679
but then i think back then obviously there was a lot of limitations to their

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

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:23.520
clunky it took them like a year to make touch wiz not a giant polygon

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

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

00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:37.200
just the stock experience is always preferred for me most most other phones

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

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:44.400
stock-based experience i do not like any

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

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:51.360
garbage this phone's too amazing let's crap it up boys yeah

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

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.919
to run slower please add your own software to it yeah you've never seen

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

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

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

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:13.919
otherwise when you work in a shop that sells not necessarily a pair

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

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

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

00:26:26.320 --> 00:26:29.600
think it's true at all

00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:36.720
oh yeah definitely most people are lying well it might be a little bit of lying

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:39.840
it might be a little bit of subconscious shifting where you've decided that you

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

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:50.000
and i think probably the strongest factor is that the audience that we have

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

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

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

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

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:10.480
audience though it's it's a bunch of pc performance freaks i'm not that

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:14.000
surprised that pc performance freaks want high performance and high feature

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:18.080
phones if we did this survey across everyone

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:22.400
on the planet and everyone answered honestly i bet you status would probably

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:27.440
be higher than anything else probably but with this audience and with natural

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:30.240
skewing i'm not surprised it was 95 would people really admit that because

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

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:38.880
not a pill that i think most people would swallow

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

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.039
for like like functionality over aesthetic or aesthetic over

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:51.679
functionality i think a lot of people will say that they buy something for

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:56.320
functionality but they might even be buying the aesthetic of functionality if

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:59.520
that makes sense if something looks like it's highly functional then they want

00:27:57.760 --> 00:28:02.559
that thing it's it's a really interesting mind game scenario because

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:06.960
you might be convincing yourself of something and not even realizing there's a

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:11.440
there's a dimension of that that's sort of uh related which is

00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:15.679
taking your customizations and your settings and stuff and that has always

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:18.559
been like if you spend a lot of time customizing your phone or customizing

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:22.480
whatever it is to make it exactly just so you will be punished because every

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:26.240
time there's an update or every time you switch phones it is super difficult to

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:29.360
get all those customizations from one device to another and it shouldn't be

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

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:38.559
and time machine it just copies everything every app even the

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:41.360
settings within your applications will get all even your third-party

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

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:51.440
long was simply because new phone copy from previous backup you know

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

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

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

00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:04.720
ecosystem i even have a macbook but even they aren't connected yeah yeah

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:07.840
microsoft really screwed the pooch with the registry because the registry was

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

00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:16.960
machines but in reality you can't it ends badly every time yeah

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.760
you can copy certain features of certain applications but not everything and you

00:29:18.399 --> 00:29:24.080
have to reinstall the applications yourself i noticed that when when you

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

00:29:26.399 --> 00:29:31.679
saves the app data and then re-downloads the apps fresh and then re repopulates

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

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

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:44.240
batteries because of that efficiency scale yeah so i did notice that when i

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.440
upgraded this one yeah that was one of the worst things like uh

00:29:46.159 --> 00:29:51.919
working in a like computer shop and you'd be doing

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:55.440
services and you someone would buy a new computer and they'd want a data transfer

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

00:29:58.159 --> 00:30:03.520
this is pretty easy to do on your own but if they wanted it anyways sure

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

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:10.320
can't bring any of their programs and there's just that kind of

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:14.159
that's a 20-minute conversation and there's like this ratio where like as

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:17.279
the customer is older the conversation is longer yeah yeah yeah

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

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:25.600
this and that because we do data recovery and sometimes we can recover it

00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:28.720
to where you can do a you can use migration assistant when you

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.000
get older programs and sometimes you can't and i'm just copying your data

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

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.880
have to reinstall your programs your settings will not be the same when they

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

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

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.840
and it's like well no it's in there you just got a little bite

00:30:51.919 --> 00:30:57.120
and it's just i mean yeah i've had people actually break down with tears

00:30:55.840 --> 00:31:00.720
because they didn't remember their email password yeah your email password was in

00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:04.320
the i'm like i can't get you that it's like

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

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:13.039
is uh like they won't have a password manager they won't have written their

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

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:19.600
anything yeah and it's just like it's

00:31:18.080 --> 00:31:22.720
painful carrying those sessions over would be super nice yeah what they're

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

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

00:31:30.320 --> 00:31:35.200
uh upgrading the computer because they would just lose all their stuff yeah

00:31:33.919 --> 00:31:38.960
it's like okay well i guess i'll deal with a slow terrible experience because

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.919
it's better than losing all my programs and all my settings and

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

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:49.440
business because people will have certain plugins and if you upgrade to a

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

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

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

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

00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:08.000
right or it's just that stuff can be a nightmare for people

00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:11.760
yeah the copy protection they bury things

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:15.200
somewhere on the system uh and sometimes it's just a software

00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:19.519
compatibility thing both of those things are terrible

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:23.840
what is it like on Linux because i've never actually tried every single Linux

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

00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:31.279
that's an interesting question i've never tried to migrate from machines

00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:36.240
mostly it's okay so like i have um i have a file that

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.600
customizes the command line and provides some aliases and shortcuts

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

00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:47.519
just like the best thing ever so it's like literally 20 years of preferences

00:32:46.320 --> 00:32:53.200
in that file other stuff that's the most Linux thing i've ever heard

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

00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.600
pain one of the things that ubuntu has done

00:32:58.080 --> 00:33:04.000
recently is they have this thing called snaps and so because you you like you

00:33:02.320 --> 00:33:07.360
have this version of this library that this program needs and you need a

00:33:05.840 --> 00:33:11.279
slightly different version of that library for some older program that can

00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:15.600
be problematic to run those combinations of things and so one of the things that

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:20.000
snaps does for you is that it packages all of your dependencies inside this

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:23.440
file which uses more space but makes it aware that you have to worry about being

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

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:31.760
to run it with those kinds of technologies generally you're a lot more

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:34.399
successful but like a lot of the things with like caden live caden live is a

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

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

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:49.360
you can have audio sync issues and things like that and that is just the

00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:53.120
libraries on the system and so snaps can help with stuff like that on ubuntu cool

00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:57.039
and other technologies on other distros can help with that so

00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.799
it's very user respecting but it's still not quite

00:33:58.080 --> 00:34:06.320
as slick of a solution as it could be right i am going to

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:07.840
take this slight intermission to do

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:12.480
something that i actually completely forgot that i had to do which is

00:34:09.839 --> 00:34:15.679
sponsors so just give me a sec guys sorry

00:34:13.919 --> 00:34:20.879
first up we have private internet access uh internet access uh is a vpn you guys

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:24.800
probably know what it is at this point uh it has encryption authentication

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:29.200
services it works for Windows macOS Android iOS Linux

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

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:37.839
it works on google chrome and it has support for several other platforms

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:41.280
coming soon you can connect up to five devices under one account at the same

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

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:50.079
internet kill switch so if your vpn disconnects for whatever reason it will

00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:53.520
disconnect you from the internet so that you don't accidentally send any data

00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:56.639
under a non-encrypted channel and you can check it out today in the

00:34:54.800 --> 00:35:02.960
link in the video description or this thing here

00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:05.680

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:37.839
doesn't really matter uh their jerky is made with the best ingredients without

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:40.880
nitrates or preservatives their goal is to create a snack that is full of flavor

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

00:35:43.040 --> 00:35:49.200
got which one is this teriyaki and

00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:50.480
original here um well teriyaki is pretty

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:54.960
good yeah teriyaki

00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:59.040
my favorite one is mojo jalapeno if i remember correctly

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

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

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:17.200

00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:39.599
doing something at a booth are you just kind of wandering around

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

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

00:37:46.720 --> 00:37:52.880
talked about that earlier i actually knew for three months yeah

00:37:51.359 --> 00:37:57.599
communication around these parts is just absolutely fantastic yeah i just thought

00:37:55.040 --> 00:37:59.839
i knew how to open or close an imac oh

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

00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:08.079
like put those back together for the past five years

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:13.599
you don't know how to open or close this and i used to

00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:16.720
figure it out yeah i'll just grab the board and go blink and he goes

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

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.400
and i'm like yeah let me just push it hard

00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:30.000
no spoilers but i legit got anxiety watching you guys work on that imac i

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

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:38.079
eyesight because i was getting anxious watching i gave him the same service

00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:38.079
that would give every customer

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

00:38:44.240 --> 00:38:49.440
manager come to me and say can you stop like showing us reading the letters that

00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.640
customers write on screen because i'll be sitting there fixing a board and i'll

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:56.160
go oh this Thunderbolt doesn't look viewing or the other usb circuit looks

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

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

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

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

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.599
you should know what you were getting

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:21.040
that's fantastic why is everyone spamming numbers i don't understand

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

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

00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:34.720
duty meme where uh you you like walk up to i believe

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:40.160
they're lowering the coffin of your like friend into the ground you're your

00:39:36.560 --> 00:39:41.760
friend and fellow soldier um and you

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:46.560
like you have to press f on your keyboard type r for respect

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

00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:53.680
fingers are on like what yeah you can well usually the two interact keys on

00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.680
the game on a computer yeah i've never played

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

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:06.000
start banning people but you know what f is okay is it because the stream died

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:08.960
no it's just not showing here this is oh okay yeah

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

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

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

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

00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.200
open broadcast or it'll say this many frames stolen by time warner with a

00:40:25.520 --> 00:40:31.040
little logo and it'll go up and it matches the open broadcast account why

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

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

00:40:37.520 --> 00:40:42.640
all the little isps there that they don't compete with one another that

00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:46.160
there's basically no service or infrastructure upgrades last 15 20 years

00:40:44.560 --> 00:40:51.359
you either have verizon dsl in my location which is three megabit down and

00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:53.440
point seven megabit up for or you get uh

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

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

00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.760
went to upload a video today using the connection upstairs and i thought oh it

00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:09.040
says six minutes remaining i must have uploaded the wrong file

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

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

00:41:14.720 --> 00:41:20.480
yeah wow that's weird because like we have i couldn't operate

00:41:18.160 --> 00:41:23.200
australia is horrible for internet and i've been learning that doing the flow

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

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:30.560
this weekend okay i'm done um but uh

00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:34.560
it's like even just getting servers like renting a server in australia is

00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:37.920
ludicrously expensive because the internet's so crazy expensive and canada

00:41:37.040 --> 00:41:43.359
has uh a similar problem of one of the problems

00:41:41.839 --> 00:41:46.480
that australia has which is large landmass not a ton of people they also

00:41:45.359 --> 00:41:50.880
have the problem of being kind of isolated and kind of off the main path

00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:55.599
of most of the undersea cables but uh canada's problem were all extremely

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:58.640
spread out we all of canada has less population than just the state of

00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:02.160
california and then a massive country so you put

00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:06.560
those two together and it's not a really great combination luckily we're all

00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:10.560
mostly nestled in these like cities that dot around the country so like vancouver

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:17.440
itself does pretty well this place has 1000 down 1 000 up uh my house

00:42:14.240 --> 00:42:20.720
my like random suburbia house has fiber

00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:24.000
uh 150 down 150 up

00:42:20.720 --> 00:42:27.680
and i pay significantly less than you do

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:30.319
409 a month is like it's 4.67

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

00:42:32.560 --> 00:42:39.200
20 megabit up it's like sometimes 20 sometimes 10 sometimes five sometimes i

00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:42.720
actually had to get verizon dsl along with the time warner because the

00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:45.680
time warner goes down so often that i got a pfsense router that will

00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:50.079
automatically switch over to the hundred dollar a month verizon dsl when it dies

00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:53.520
so that i can still process credit cards wow that's pretty typical for new york

00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:56.400
yeah so i expect the time warner that costs 409 a month to go down often

00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:01.280
enough that it's worth it to have another connection like me my studio is

00:42:58.720 --> 00:43:05.520
in the greater la area and i've got 300 by 300 fiber for 99.

00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:11.520
it's pretty yeah i'm paying i believe it's 99 uh but

00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:15.520
i had like a signing bonus lowered for a temporary period of time thing for a

00:43:13.200 --> 00:43:18.400
while now uh for my one there's a new construction

00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:22.160
a little bit like 30 minutes south of where i live and there were big old

00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:25.040
billboards as they were like you know getting the land ready that it's going

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:29.520
to be it was a fiber community or gigabit community

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

00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:37.119
commercial side so like a lot of commercial internet is often much worse

00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:41.119
than residential internet at the lower tier just because vra's in the time

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

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

00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:53.480
pg with something yeah

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

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

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:08.480
internet i'm going to say with both of those internet connections that's insane

00:44:06.319 --> 00:44:11.520
oh right uh is this

00:44:09.680 --> 00:44:14.800
local to ltx only or can you buy this stuff online

00:44:15.040 --> 00:44:21.280
can you buy it online no no none of it

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

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:30.720
can get a TechLinked pin an ltx lanyard which has like uh some

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

00:44:34.720 --> 00:44:40.640
this shirt which i've never seen before

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:45.520
oh yeah i have this is pretty cool this is just like a straight up Linus

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.520
tech tips shirt uh

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

00:44:51.359 --> 00:44:58.160
don't really understand why we did this but i think it's awesome

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

00:45:00.319 --> 00:45:07.040
making a face on a shirt it's great i i personally love it but i

00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:11.920
can understand how uh some people might think it's a little a little funky uh

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

00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:21.680
circuit logo shirt so there's basically different earlier edition graphics being given out

00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:25.280
or being sold to ltx i believe so yeah this is another one of the circuit

00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:29.760
designs um i thought there was another shirt as well but that might have been

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

00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:37.280
at ltx uh if you are watching this and

00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:42.000
going to be there and didn't notice that you could buy shirts

00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:46.800
and happen to see this there we go best ad spot ever

00:45:44.319 --> 00:45:49.520
yeah um what was i going to say next one thing

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

00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:59.119
find this quite interesting and we'll again actually we'll switch it we'll go

00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.960
from this way over uh what got you into

00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:05.760
computers and technology in general my dad my dad after the military he was a

00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:10.000
project manager and he was one of the he was one of the first

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

00:46:12.640 --> 00:46:18.480
building mainframes and and doing you know crazy old-school tape drive backups

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

00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:26.079
the mainframe and we need to get into computer uh project management

00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:28.319
computer-based stuff pc stuff and this was back in like

00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:32.640
80 and they didn't listen to him and of course

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

00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:40.319
mainframe and but he uh so when when that happened he ended up going to

00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:45.040
business for himself writing project management software and from my

00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:48.960
earliest memories i was always on his lap while he was on the computer doing

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

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

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

00:46:58.640 --> 00:47:04.079
never once told me i couldn't touch anything right so i've always done that

00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:09.119
with my kids it's kind of gone you know three generations or two

00:47:07.359 --> 00:47:11.920
generations at this point now my youngest daughter now is she's three and

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

00:47:16.240 --> 00:47:22.720
dad and that was just life was computers and

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

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

00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.800
wanted to play diablo and the computer stopped working so i learned how to fix

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

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

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

00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:53.040
nowhere right yeah i was i was super in the the the first event

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

00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.880
bored in school and they were trying to figure out how to deal with that because

00:47:59.359 --> 00:48:05.280
it was like kindergarten or first grade or something and there was an old guy

00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:08.640
visiting from the stevens institute and he's like all right let's figure this

00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:14.000
out so we set up an apple ii to with like a wooden break to measure

00:48:11.839 --> 00:48:16.880
your reaction time when like you hit the thing it would it was like a basic

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

00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:26.720
soldering wires into something inside the apple ii and then writing a program

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

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

00:48:32.640 --> 00:48:37.200
like took everything apart i got in trouble for taking apart like the tv

00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:41.680
yeah in school which is what led to that

00:48:40.160 --> 00:48:46.800
okay i was i needed a machine to work on some

00:48:44.720 --> 00:48:50.640
sessions in logic pro and the studio that i was working at it closed down so

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:18.480
entire screen assembly so i just kept doing that over and over again people

00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:21.680
started bringing liquid damaged ones eventually so i started sending them off

00:49:20.160 --> 00:49:25.520
to a company in china that would fix them they were doing worse and worse job

00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.359
as time went on so i figured if i've been working on recording studio

00:49:27.520 --> 00:49:33.200
equipment and consoles at component level let me see if i can figure out how

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

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

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

00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:48.880
started from uh making a video because reseller ratings was trying to up the

00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:52.559
rate by about a thousand percent so i did a video on their process that got

00:49:50.720 --> 00:49:56.160
120 000 views that i thought would get 10 and

00:49:53.920 --> 00:50:01.040
that was that cool and you you've mentioned audio stuff a few times

00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:04.400
uh this way in show so what what was your involvement in the music

00:50:02.319 --> 00:50:07.680
industry i worked at i went to avatar studios and i said that i would i

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:12.800
remember saying something like i would rather wash the toilets here than work at any

00:50:10.720 --> 00:50:15.839
other place for money and i remember i showed up from my interview and the guy

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

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

00:50:22.720 --> 00:50:28.240
hendrickson that hired me so i worked there and i cleaned the toilets and i

00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:31.440
cleaned the you know all the the floors and the consoles and everything

00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:34.160
for three months and then i uh after working there for free after three

00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:37.920
months i got to work in the tech room with the other people working on ssl

00:50:36.160 --> 00:50:42.480
consoles and eve consoles to retape machines and that was that cool sweet it

00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:47.839
was fun i think with that we are oh no we have about 10 minutes

00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:53.040
left let's see if there's any actual topics to talk about

00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:55.280
uh no topics no no turns out recycling

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

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

00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:05.839
frankenstein stuff together i think i feel like

00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:10.400
most people that are into computers have a similar story that like my favorite

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

00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:18.079
money especially not in the tech departments and uh

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

00:51:20.319 --> 00:51:25.280
school that were interested in computers it was just designed as a country school

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

00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:31.359
my teacher waited for the truck that went to all

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

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

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

00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:48.000
was like yeah we got some stuff just like leave the truck for a little while

00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:51.119
and he left the truck and we offloaded everything that was on there which was

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

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

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

00:52:02.319 --> 00:52:07.839
we spent the next few months that whole computer class

00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:11.520
just like we would like oh my goodness okay this motherboard actually works

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

00:52:12.720 --> 00:52:17.920
board and test all of it and mark everything as good or bad and like find

00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:21.839
all the use those to find all the motherboards that work and like

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

00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:29.920
really really cool project we had uh i was accused by the time i

00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:32.800
made it to high school i was accused of black magic because the local repair

00:52:31.680 --> 00:52:36.800
place would always replace the motherboard whenever a ps2 whenever a

00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:39.280
kid would something the ps2 ports were really bad because like if you pulled

00:52:37.839 --> 00:52:42.880
the keyboard the wrong way blow the fuse on the motherboard and so it was not

00:52:41.520 --> 00:52:45.760
surface mount it was through hole it was really easy to replace and i would be

00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.520
like well let's just crack it open take the motherboard out and replace the

00:52:47.680 --> 00:52:52.960
the through-hole fuse and the local computer repair company was like black

00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:55.680
magic witchcraft burn him burn him at the stake

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

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

00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:08.880
to replace stuff and you i'm just i don't know why i'm

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

00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:16.800
amplifier you said it was a semoy means they have all these guides online and

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

00:53:19.680 --> 00:53:25.599
battery so what got you into that though i just enjoyed hi-fi audio okay yeah

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

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

00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:38.319
going to use the wrong term but the sound dampening panels yeah those sound

00:53:35.359 --> 00:53:43.280
dampening piles uh panels yeah yeah yeah piles of cat yeah in my office and at

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

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:50.319
like the most recent custom hi-fi project you've done uh like just the

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

00:53:53.040 --> 00:53:58.079
you can find new stuff online like vanderstein speakers for four hundred

00:53:56.319 --> 00:54:02.240
dollars a cheap amplifier and some of those uh corning 703 panels and it'll

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

00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:11.040
your your sound dampening panel project you just can't have a cat because if you

00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:11.040
have a cat then yeah yeah

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

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

00:54:21.520 --> 00:54:27.680
um i had several hats in that company um but i worked

00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:31.280
very close well i started actually doing energy audits and stuff

00:54:29.520 --> 00:54:36.160
within the company and we also wrote our own software to run on various devices

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:39.040
either ipads or the samsung devices i mentioned

00:54:37.680 --> 00:54:43.040
and we had major contracts with the power companies and then

00:54:41.040 --> 00:54:46.000
rit department was extremely overworked and supporting all these devices

00:54:44.319 --> 00:54:49.680
upgrading getting ready to go repairing them

00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:53.839
and we also had our in-house you know a software development team and then the

00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:58.319
more they realized that i was the guy that was actually going around

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

00:54:59.680 --> 00:55:04.880
the help desk right and our help desk was three guys trying to support a

00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:08.400
company of 350 field agents and it was like that could get overworked really

00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:12.720
easy yeah and that was the same rit department of three was the same guys

00:55:10.319 --> 00:55:18.000
also building and managing our um three country-wide six major cities

00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:21.760
vpn that kept all of our offices in communication so if they were doing that

00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:25.440
or they were out at a data center or something we were just like

00:55:23.680 --> 00:55:28.240
down in person yeah so i was the guy that everyone started calling out in the

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

00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:36.319
when the company realized i was doing that then they were like hey do you want

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

00:55:37.839 --> 00:55:42.960
because i knew i had all the end user experience as well as the technical

00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:46.480
know-how to keep it all working well once i got into that role they realized

00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:51.680
i also knew an okay amount of uh coding and design

00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:55.440
from my dad being a project a software developer so then they were like you

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

00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:03.599
desk management and this so basically i ended up having like these three hats at

00:56:01.200 --> 00:56:06.640
one time um which really burned me out to be honest

00:56:05.200 --> 00:56:09.839
because i did that for almost 10 years right and then that was when i started

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

00:56:14.240 --> 00:56:20.400
to have this kind of a venn diagram of experience right all three of those

00:56:18.640 --> 00:56:24.799
aspects you know development support and then end user

00:56:22.640 --> 00:56:28.079
which uh really gave me a unique understanding of what it's like from top

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

00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:37.040
everything from a very practical perspective of how i approach tech

00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:40.960
but i do have a a very high level knowledge too on where a lot

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

00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:48.160
because i leave stuff for that like wendell and gamer's nexus yeah the guys

00:56:46.319 --> 00:56:52.400
who can actually communicate in that in a manner which people can understand

00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:56.079
because i'm very good at practical use but i'm very bad at technical

00:56:53.839 --> 00:57:00.400
explanation okay so and i'm going to take something that you

00:56:57.680 --> 00:57:05.520
said and something that you explained uh but so you you got into youtube because

00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:09.119
you wanted to kind of express annoyance from who was it customer reseller rating

00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:13.760
resellers.com uh and you mentioned that you started to get

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

00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:19.680
dare oh someone dared me okay um so i

00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:24.400
was live yeah well i was live streaming um

00:57:22.319 --> 00:57:27.680
call of duty three close co close quarters when it launched because nick

00:57:26.160 --> 00:57:31.520
coconut monkey and i were good friends we played that all the time and i had

00:57:29.680 --> 00:57:36.400
started live streaming it because when when it dropped for um premium access

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

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

00:57:42.799 --> 00:57:47.920
um another gentleman by the name of holiday doc came in and just randomly

00:57:46.319 --> 00:57:52.000
found my stream and he was a pretty well known like call of duty codcaster for

00:57:49.839 --> 00:57:54.640
like mlg and he just thought that i was funny and entertaining and we became

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

00:57:57.040 --> 00:58:01.760
like this tech stuff interesting because i became like the guy he asked pc

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

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

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

00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:18.400
super ignorant to what was going on i was like who the heck would watch a

00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:22.079
channel about computers that sounds like the most boring thing

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

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

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

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

00:58:35.839 --> 00:58:42.400
and sent him parts yes you're pushing me it's it's one of

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

00:58:45.520 --> 00:58:50.319
forward six years it's now my it's not incorporated and it's now

00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:55.520
helping other people pay their bills because now i have employees so it's crazy

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

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

00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:08.400
got into youtube because uh i was like really really into

00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:12.079
mechanical keyboards like before america really had very many

00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:16.079
mechanics that sounds rare but people are like really into that yeah it it

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

00:59:17.440 --> 00:59:23.359
of a community um and i had like i had my own like

00:59:20.720 --> 00:59:25.920
imported from taiwan keyboard and all this kind of stuff and i wanted to show

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

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

00:59:32.640 --> 00:59:37.520
it and now there's uh some people have watching this have probably seen it but

00:59:35.839 --> 00:59:40.880
there's a video of lioness and i watching that video both just

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

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

00:59:47.520 --> 00:59:53.200
had seen because it was never released anywhere right um so that the director's

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

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

00:59:59.359 --> 01:00:04.319
you're like wow i'm an idiot especially because i said something that was like

01:00:02.640 --> 01:00:09.520
factually incorrect what was your first mechanical keyboard uh dk 9008 g2

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

01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:17.520
my first was a razer black widow oh yeah

01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:21.119
okay i remember i mean it was nothing super special but it was a blue switch

01:00:19.200 --> 01:00:24.400
without that was super cool until i started streaming

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

01:00:26.240 --> 01:00:31.440
bust do you use one i do okay i've got a

01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:35.280
black model m actually actually that's cool a fairly impressive collection of

01:00:33.200 --> 01:00:38.559
the uh ssk model amps as well the numpadless ones yeah i have a mask i

01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:43.280
should be able to make it until i'm about 80 if i only use

01:00:40.799 --> 01:00:46.720
the ssks because that's pretty sweet the model and the you know comp still makes

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

01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:54.559
the earlier ones are better the later ones they've gotten a lot of money from

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

01:00:57.520 --> 01:01:04.480
years ago and uh there it's almost as good but

01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:07.839
man those assets like it's nice the only thing i really missed

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

01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:18.480
side of the keyboard but it's not bad yeah i i have one properly functioning

01:01:14.799 --> 01:01:20.000
model m but i generally don't use it

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

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

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

01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:35.839
that would be pretty cool i will uh we'll we'll talk later

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

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

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

01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:55.440
it was when uh Windows vista came out i was so angry

01:01:53.359 --> 01:01:59.280
i probably should have been medicated and i was really worried about privacy

01:01:57.040 --> 01:02:04.079
and things like that but i made a driver showing how NVIDIA had completely

01:02:01.520 --> 01:02:09.680
screwed the pooch on 64-bit drivers under 64-bit vista they literally took

01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:13.280
their 32-bit driver and pasted it into a

01:02:09.680 --> 01:02:15.280
64-bit uh wrapper i was so mad i could

01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:18.640
not see straight i was seething with anger because it was like you know right

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

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

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

01:02:30.240 --> 01:02:36.559
youtube of me losing my mind and ranting about this

01:02:34.720 --> 01:02:39.119
horrible pile of garbage driver that doesn't work and it'll work for five

01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:43.359
minutes and then crash and the whole reason was that as soon as a program

01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:46.960
would try to do anything outside of that 32-bit address space with that 64-bit

01:02:45.520 --> 01:02:51.280
driver it would crash because it wasn't really a 64-bit driver

01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:55.599
so there's that and that's the very first thing i did on youtube technically

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

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

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

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

01:03:09.200 --> 01:03:16.960
can't find it but no click bait here but uh this was i

01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:19.039
used to do guides on how to get 100 sync

01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:24.319
in like assassin's creed levels

01:03:20.720 --> 01:03:25.520
and like no one cared it was great um so

01:03:24.319 --> 01:03:29.599
what another thing i want to ask you about is you recently developed and

01:03:27.839 --> 01:03:34.799
started selling why am i forgetting the name of them right now

01:03:31.520 --> 01:03:36.720
yes you uh like multi-port kvms with

01:03:34.799 --> 01:03:40.880
really really really high-end features so that was another thing that was made

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

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

01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:53.039
the thing that i can fix because the world of kvms for like 4k and like

01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:57.280
displayport 60 hertz it's terrible it's really terrible

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

01:03:59.839 --> 01:04:07.200
usb functionality is like it's designed for like the five dollar usb keyboard

01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:11.119
which has like one of three of the cheapest usb chips known to man but if

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

01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:17.920
keyboards once the driver loads it's not even really a keyboard anymore and so

01:04:16.640 --> 01:04:22.880
good luck getting that to work with the kvm and so i just i found

01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:26.480
i found somebody in taiwan that had basically the hardware that i needed but

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

01:04:30.160 --> 01:04:36.799
problems for people like us that would be trying to do things with a kvm that

01:04:34.160 --> 01:04:40.319
has you know a 4k displayport 1.2 whatever and

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

01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:48.559
well that we did two other runs and it is shocking the people that have come

01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:52.319
out of the woodwork to buy the kvms and generally it's done really well uh

01:04:50.240 --> 01:04:56.559
interestingly macs are the things that uh have the biggest problem like the the

01:04:54.559 --> 01:05:01.440
trashcan mac pros don't actually follow the displayport spec at all no way yeah

01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:05.520
so that's the most surprised no way i've

01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.520
ever heard

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

01:05:10.000 --> 01:05:14.720
Thunderbolt dock that has like a displayport socket you can't just use a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:05:40.720 --> 01:05:47.200
repeater and so a lot of the signal is like a lot of the

01:05:45.359 --> 01:05:52.079
signal out of that displayport cable is just barely enough that if it's going

01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:56.240
into the monitor it's fine but if you send it in through the

01:05:54.160 --> 01:05:59.839
connector and then into the kvm which is like another four inches of cable and

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

01:06:01.680 --> 01:06:07.760
proper digital sync or whatever on that cable and

01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:11.920
it's infuriating because the spec says that it should be able to

01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:15.839
push an unamplified cable that's like eight meters or something like that and

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

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

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

01:06:24.720 --> 01:06:29.920
back out the connector in the back and so they have a repeater or something

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

01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:37.119
just solder a little dongle directly on the

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

01:06:38.720 --> 01:06:43.760
the mac pro yeah it's some some of the witchcraft

01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:48.880
after the d300 before it makes it out of the mac because i'm assembling

01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:52.559
yeah the you mentioned the like i think it was like four inches or whatever of

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

01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:59.200
amount but that was a really interesting situation when usb 3 start first started

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

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

01:07:05.359 --> 01:07:10.240
plug into the back your motherboard and then you'd have people with really long

01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:14.640
usb 3 cables so you'd have people with like 15 feet worth of total actual

01:07:12.799 --> 01:07:18.319
distance for usb 3 and then it won't charge their freaking devices that

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

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

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

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

01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:41.119
still have usb just like header cables for usb 3 that you could plug into a

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

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

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

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

01:07:54.720 --> 01:08:00.720
WAN Show uh we half covered one topic uh

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

01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:07.280
their channels again uh so lewis rossman

01:08:06.160 --> 01:08:10.760
