let's do it we're starting streaming uh we're live just so you guys know and you
know we're on the lan show welcome it's a nah show dude it's right it's a
naw show this is a bonafide nostril because it's james and i it's yes it's
backwards we did like a half gnaw last week
what is that called i wanna awana
either way we got some stuff to talk about this week including the jackets
but not currently right now we have to talk about microsoft continuing to
listen to uh to voice recordings for stuff like cortana uh we're talking
about facebook opening privacy cafes like actual physical locations i have an
opinion where they serve you drinks and teach you about your facebook privacy
settings yeah okay all that and more
uh after probably sure yeah only two topics announced
whack it
oh boy it's gonna be it's warm it is warm
hey can you wear this can you wear this pretty rugged swag it
all maybe i'm gonna be hot under studio lights yeah i'll sweat for them
wait for it new sponsor never been seen before
comic con garage yeah comic garage
at the at the privacy cafe um savage jersey
and pure
okay so let's talk about our our our title topic
right away just because i think that makes people happy so microsoft
continuing to continuing their human listening program
in recent weeks reports have emerged that apple google amazon facebook and
now microsoft all have audio recordings from their various services reviewed by
human contractors to assist in the development of virtual
assistant slash ai this includes skype
and cortana as far as i know from microsoft's side
some of these groups as far as i know have said okay we're going to stop this
i believe apple said that they it started with amazon started with
amazon started with amazon and then google and then apple was like hey we do
that too but uh we stopped already
they like they tried to get ahead of it right they try to get out ahead of it
yeah all right and then i guess uh microsoft instead was like you know what
no i'm doubling down we're gonna continue we're doing it with with the
dozens of people who talked to cortana yeah i was gonna say no one really uses
cortana i don't know i don't do you know anyone who uses cortana no i like i
asked someone on twitter recently it's like have you ever tried
one time i i tried to google like what you can do because they actually have a
rare opportunity in so far as i would actually love for my pc to yes to
understand if i could do like power user type
tasks like if i could like tedious things like
rename all these pictures um
james and then enumerate one two three based on date so like if i could do
something like that but it's a lot easier to just tell something i could do that tediously by clicking and typing or
i could do it like a script yeah but if i could just sit tell my computer to do
that that'd be wicked verbally so there are some things you can do in excel
that are kind of like that but i don't think it's like
well you you wouldn't yeah you wouldn't really be creating any new functionality
but you'd be making it a lot easier well then you just be like hey you wanna can
you uh do this thing real quick and there's tons of tedious things in excel that you want to do like that because
there's lots of things in excel that you can do if you're an excel wizard
and you also deal with the excel quirks yeah there's tons of quirks
i think i think taking people who know nothing about
excel or programming at all and giving them a voice assistant that
can do some stuff like hey if this number is whatever
and this number is whatever let's do this other like fairly simple if
statements are actually a pretty big block for people that have never done
that kind of stuff before at all especially because they're written a
little bit funkily in excel if you've done programming
you're like it's no big deal yeah yeah but if you haven't touched that stuff
before at all ever and you're you're like relatively tech
illiterate but you need to do some like weird excel sheet thing for work and
you've never done it before and blah blah blah if you just be like hey cortana do this thing that would be
pretty sweet it's funny how with every it seems like every subject
there's like it's not linear when you're learning there's things that are like s-curvy
yeah it's like if you're learning guitar once you know bar chords then you're
good to go or like once you know if if statements in
excel then you can do so much more yeah yeah
yeah because excel is pretty basic until you start diving into some of those the
thing that's weird about this is like actually if you are like the odds that
let me restart if you're on amazon okay or google or google assistant and you
you say something to the google assistant the odds that you're recording
is the one that one of their employees listens to is so little that's because
there's so many people using this stuff like what are the odds that they
actually listen to my recording so few but no one uses cortana so if you
actually use cortana my odds you're one of the people that's getting
listened to are like way higher it might be 50 50. it might be all of them
it might be every person it is cortana and skype
okay so if they completely mix that pool then maybe it's not that high because
there are definitely still a pretty big user base as far as i know for skype for
sure mostly old people as far as i know um i that is actually an assumption that
i have is as far as i know it's more businessy kind of folks that use skype
it was popular there for a little bit in the gaming space but it was a little
annoying to use and then discord showed up and was like what up
there's um a concept called excess
inertia yeah excess inertia in economics where
if something basically it's like you will stay
on a platform longer than you should and
you're suffering because of it but it's just because it's what we all use yeah
like we all should have switched to google plus instead of facebook we know
it's better it has better features but there's network effects with social
media so we're already on facebook and my friends are on facebook and i but if
i go to google plus no one's on it so there's no there's no
value then so none of us are switching right i feel like in the b2b world
that is hard way more hardcore like yeah hey you work here uh we've been using
gotomeeting for 10 years so we're all we're still using go to meeting
yeah like and no one no no one else is using that anymore one of
the things i find amazing is when i have calls with relatively big companies that
have like relatively expensive conferencing setups and they just sound
like garbage like it's really hard to understand
anyone it's super crackly it's terrible and i'm like i use my setup for for
gaming and it sounds great and i understand
there's like they're doing with multi-array mics and a bunch of people in one room and stuff but still like
wow that's because um games and snowballs are mean to each other and if
you start talking someone on your team will be like why do
you sound like dog crap why is your mic in your throat
whereas that never happens in business it's always like hey how are you
the worst though is when you're on a conference call and if someone if two
people talk at the same time at all if their voices overlap at all it's just
like no one heard anything yeah yeah we all have to restart
what sorry sorry sorry what was that uh anyways the
company has updated his privacy policy and faqs for cortana and skype uh
skype translator okay to make it clear that audio may be listened to by
microsoft employees or contractors to ensure accurate transcription so they're
they're telling you now but no one's going to read that so exactly they're
basically like yeah we know that our we did the legal stuff yeah whatever
i i don't i'm not mad at this at all like the whole
i don't even agree that that the other companies amazon apple and google should
have even changed because it's like what do you think like
we all want our cake and eat it too like do you want the google assistant to
understand you do you want these voice things to like really work well i do
i want that to happen now instead of five years from now so can we please
just like yeah they're listening to you who cares
i feel like it should be a more overt consent thing
like i will throw microsoft a bone here when you're setting up like Windows 10
there's all those little switch settings like what do i want to share with
microsoft more or less um and i think it would probably be
better if you could be like yeah no i realize most people would say no
but the thing with that i would like that option you're using microsoft for so many
different reasons whereas like when i buy a google home when i buy an echo
it's like that's what it's for yeah but it's listening into stuff that it
shouldn't like they've in these articles it's been like oh yeah we have tons of
audio of people banging and whatever else and i don't think someone was like
okay google like i don't know you don't let me oh sorry but i'm sure everyone
just got their their uh phones and devices pinged but uh like i don't like
there's a lot of false reports the amount if i've gone through my like
audio log like all the saved audio recordings has for mine a huge amount of
it is just me driving okay
i'm not intending to talk to my phone there's tons of me just driving one
thing you can do is and which i don't can you do this in the
car one thing you can do is you can make there be a sound when it when it's
listening when you're like hey and he goes now it's listening it goes
but i have my phone fully muted all the time
right your phone i'm talking about the one on my google oh yeah yeah okay it
goes and then uh i speak and i also have it
on continuous conversation mode so when i'm if i just have a one line that i
want to say to it which is most of the time i go hey
the thing i want to say to you it goes okay but then it goes badunk and
listens again and it'll listen for like eight more seconds and that's usually
i'm not saying anything to it yeah yeah so that's like almost that means that
almost every time i use it there's eight seconds of it listening to not talking
which is a ton yeah but
i know i want to say that they can't like it's data that is useless but
wasn't there a uh uh there was like a new site where they
actually i think they heard the recordings and then they tried to find the people and they called people up
like hey we reached you just from listening to the recordings that i am
that uh i'm so brain-dead today whichever
company yeah yeah you know what i'm saying yeah but it's i just i'm okay
with this kind of stuff if it's more overt i don't want it in the terms of
service i want it in your face and if someone's like yeah okay whatever cool
i just think a lot of people for some reason still
assume privacy when that like they shouldn't
with any of these devices but they do so they think like oh this recording's
just going to some ai and then doing whatever and then there's no human listening and everything's fine um but
they assume privacy and i think as long as you're like hey not private
that's fine because it's a it's not a government thing it's a
company thing you're not obligated to own this thing you could not buy it and
uh like apple for instance is going okay we're not going to record stuff so you
have a competitor it's not like the entire monopoly of all of them
is not it's that's the wrong term but it's not like all of them are doing it
now so i don't know i i don't like it i don't want that to
happen i want it to be an opt-in switch all that kind of stuff but they can do
whatever they want like if you want to have one of these products and then
also be as private as possible like those two things at the same time they
don't combine very well no because you have to you have to say like okay
don't talk about like your address or your
your social insurance number around this device yeah
that's your phone so like
you're probably screwed uh but you could turn it off on the
phone like the fact that being able to hail it
with it um yeah mine mine only goes from
or it's only supposed to but i think it got reset somehow only goes from holding
the home button but i think it i think it activates it didn't activate when i
just set it so maybe i made it some weird phrase or something i don't know
uh but i don't really use the voice activation stuff personally i love it
yeah i love it i liked it for a while but i don't think it's good enough
i want it to be like boom i want it to be like uh uh
if you wanted to be good they need to they need no i use it okay yeah i use it
a lot but i just do it manually yeah well they used to have
what do you mean yeah yeah no no but they were still using those voice clips
of when you do it manually and then the humans are listening to that yeah that's
fine thank you they're good they listen
that's like basically what i use it for entirely yeah uh i don't have any home
automation stuff or anything so i just like set an alarm for bl set a reminder
for bl and all my reminders like it doesn't understand what i'm saying at
all so it's just like complete garbly [ __ ] that i have to translate on the
other end it's just yeah i want like um
what was that movie is it called her yeah
the like super ai thing that yes relationship i want that level of ai
that's the bet yeah then i'm i'm in everyone's in with that one i want a bro
i want a pocket bro him yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah
that's fantastic i loved them i thought the ending was a little bit of a cop-out
i listened to it i liked it okay we don't want to spoil it yeah let's know i
mean five years old you guys should check it out yeah whatever i thought it was
realistic we should move on you've got comments facebook to open up pop-up privacy cafes
this just i just this just sounds hilarious to me like i don't really even
know what this is such a waste of money you guys
you already have so much well they had to spend 20 of their annual revenue on
on a fine from the eu this year so it's like
you don't have that much money like this is costing you millions we're
gonna set up these little cafes that people will go to and we'll give them
free drinks in there and then we'll teach them how to
we'll teach them about our current privacy roles instead of adjusting our
rules ourselves it's not our fault we actually have the optimal rules we
leaked all your passwords in plain text but you should change your privacy
settings yeah you guys should just understand more what you're sharing with
us it's a you problem yeah that's brutal
who's gonna go to these no one and furthermore there shouldn't
be cafes there shouldn't be like a starbucks that you go to it should
actually be like lawn bowling
yeah then you just set up something that attracts old people
yeah well i was gonna say it's i feel like it's gonna be old people and like
vloggers who are gonna be like i went to the facebook cafe because that's
hilarious i think it's going to be people who want free wi-fi
oh it's gonna be like i don't have to buy anything i can hang out here all day
and starbucks yeah starbucks is a is is amazing when you're
traveling because they're everywhere yeah they don't have free wi-fi and they
have air conditioning when you're in like asia
i don't i don't drink coffee love starbucks when i'm traveling the other
week i was just walking down in north vancouver just downtown really had to
pee i was about to get in my car and drive for a bit i saw starbucks i was like i can pee in there without talking
to anyone yeah breathe
thanks angry people in america it's a form of privilege because homeless people they just you walk they walk in
and then the people working are like no well no you can't they they don't do
that anymore or whatever where i thought there was this huge thing in the states
because they they said no to someone and then that person freaked out
and starbucks had like sensitivity training
workshops for their people and all right well there's maybe for starbucks in
particular but there's lots of different establishments that have
like they've got locks on the yeah on the door like you have to get a
code and to get the code you have to talk to the person working there and they'll just like say no or the stick
with the key on it or whatever yeah i think it's more of a gas station thing
but some way yeah some way over here
i love when it's just huge it's kind of embarrassing to me like
walking around i need to pee hey everyone i'm gonna go touch my peepee
i promise won't be for too long but probably more than three shakes
because that's just a meme um yeah i don't know i
i just find this funny like that the last note in the doc is
seems they still don't freaking get it and yeah
yeah i think that's pretty accurate ah do you think no one's hilarious though
no people will go people will absolutely go
like i wouldn't be surprised if the drinks were free
they are yeah they are so people are going to go it's free coffee do you think um
maybe it'll work maybe if you there's like a critical mass when you get enough
people like this is only london but maybe if you get enough people who
really understand how it works then eventually you'll have like a culture
where like those people are talking online and they kind of just spreads around and then
we just all kind of get it eventually sure
you know does that happen with monkeys or something but doesn't facebook reset
your privacy settings every time they release new privacy settings oh
i don't remember that could be a complete hearsay thing do not take that
as fact but i don't know either way yeah check
your facebook privacy settings also pro tip don't post anything on facebook
it's great there's add-ons for chrome and i believe firefox that completely
get rid of your news feed and they just put a quote there and if you have to
have facebook for communicating with family through the messenger portion you
can still use that or if you have like a family group thing you can still use
that but your newsfeed probably useless so just get rid of it
that sounds awesome excellent it's on my phone though
yeah i just immediately go to the groups thing
i actually don't use facebook on my phone i think about it i just use the
messenger part i used to do that but now i can't for reasons ah yeah yeah
pages like there's a comedy there's a vancouver stand-up comedy thing sorry
see but you don't use the feed so i guess on your phone there's probably no
way to get rid of it but just bypass go directly to the group if you can't
completely ignore them just don't eat junk food
just say no it's harder than you think
youtube allows creators to record videos to appeal to monetization this is
actually i love this amazing this is super cool when i first read it i was
like that's weird but no i'm totally down um let's see if this will load
from the verge
this has nothing cool on it okay we're going to go back to here
yeah so currently if a youtube content creator has their channel video
demonetized the only option for appealing decision is to fill out a form
and wait like 30 days now youtube is doing a pilot program which would allow
creators to create a video the thing that they do and are probably a lot
better at than just writing appeals
about why they shouldn't be demonetized youtube will reportedly respond within
seven days i think this will be a lot better i think youtube creators can be a lot
more efficient and better at conveying themselves over video and you will also
be able to um i think understanding someone the
understanding of something that someone is saying improves
when they're saying it to you whether it's uh in person or through video in
person even more so but but video definitely as well you know you're
talking to a real person and you know that like
you know that they can talk they have a they have a channel yeah you don't know
how good their writing skills are so it's kind of
and there's body language cues and all this other stuff yeah if they don't want to show up on camera it's still probably
beneficial because they can show what they're talking about so if they show
their video and they scroll through the part and they explain like why it
doesn't matter that's going to be more effective as well i just think it's way
better overall the program was described in an email
sent to a creator and posted on our slash youtube
um creators are why okay normally i think this is so awesome i wish that
more things would do this like you know when you get a speeding ticket
or some kind of ticket and you want to dispute it and you have to like go to court and like miss work so you can go
to court and then show up and the cab has to show up and everyone has a bunch of people in the
room can i can they just call me can i just facetime them like look i wasn't
speeding okay there's there was a bee in there or
whatever it is like it'd be so much faster if the judge
could just be on just eating popcorn
yeah hey hey what up yeah um it doesn't matter if it's a bee and then you're
still sped dude okay you do that on my lunch break you know
yeah like estonia um they do all their
government stuff through the internet it's crazy uh people seem to like this
new system yeah so do we that's cool this makes tons of sense i i like it
it's great fantastic they also say the wait time should be lower they say
they'll be responding within seven days instead of 30 that's weird to me
well they're just trying harder overall but yeah maybe they're just pushing
that's cool i appreciate that because this has been pissing people off for a long time actually no don't do it
youtube ah the more you screw up the more people want to join Floatplane
darn anyways amazon sold gas for 30 cents and
the police had to intervene so uh may sell my soul day i don't know is
amazon's latest marketing campaign for the prime video series the marvelous mrs
hazel maisel i suppose i've never seen this show apparently it's me neither
it's there's been more than one season there have i told you they sent me a physical piece of mail telling me to use
prime video amazon did oh yeah because i've had a prime account for forever and
i've never once opened amazon private video oh i don't really watch shows it's
just i don't i don't care was it what was it like was it it just it was like
by the way you have access to tons of amazing content and then you flip it
over and there's a bunch of like descriptions of the shows and stuff and i was like wow this is weird
okay i'm not gonna cancel my prime account you don't have to worry about it don't send me physical mail about the
thing that i don't care about thank you goodbye uh i wanna watch the boys though
okay i might actually watch the boys i don't i know nothing about it but everyone's like have you seen the show
yet i just listened to brandon and brandon's like hey have you watched the boys don't listen up bran hey brad can
you hear me brandon likes that stupid he's not there
okay what show what show i want to know i want it the inside dig
what's it called oksa that show about there's this director he
also did that that movie where they're on they're all on a train
it's post-apocalyptic i'm too brain-dead today that a train
and it's post-apocalyptic good god what was that called oh it was
all wintry on the outs what was that called snow piercer something piercer oh
i hate that director i hate him i hate his guts
and they had a previous movie that's about like this uh weird fantastical
animal it's kind of an animal rights movie which i'm into
uh brandon loves this movie i thought it was hot garbage
i love Jake gyllenhaal Jake gyllenhaal like hurt me in that movie and like we
argue about it it's like our i can bring it up at any time if i ever wan like if
i was ever trying to distract brandon like if you were trying to sneak by him
and he was he was right there and there's no way he can get by him if i
just like walked up it was hey dude that movie sucks you would be able to sneak
by him oh yeah you could just push a big cart with cake on it right by him oh
yeah he wouldn't have no idea anyways i have no freaking clue what
this is but they did a promotional thing for it
where in uh in santa monica they
rolled back everything to the prices that it would have been in 1959
including 30 cents per gallon gas and hot dogs
and hot dogs and 51 cent movie tickets hotel rooms
movie tickets milkshakes and more were all reset back to 1959.
this caused a massive traffic disruption
as tons of eager customers were like give me some of that 30 cent gas yeah
and the police had to intervene and like shut it down for a bit but then they got
it going again with more organizations yeah so amazon
intervened and was like no we want this marketing thing to go by we want to pay
for a huge chunk of everyone's gas so they just limited the the amount of
people the amount of cars that could be in line gas is really interested
interesting because there's no real like one per customer with gas
someone could have went up with a pickup truck full of jerry cans and just been
like that one yeah that one just all day yeah
like we're talking like an order of magnitude less money like
that's awesome yeah gas does expire but
you're also very likely going to use it before it does expire and you could just resell it
to your friends oh yeah no not like not like widely it
probably wouldn't go that well but to your friends you could absolutely use a jerry can for twice as much as i paid
and half as much as what you would be paying or you could always just like symbol like symbolically burn something
down you know yeah cleansing perfect yeah
let's see hey brandon what's what's that movie you like that i hate
yeah i've never
i need both of you to watch it with me just so i can hear the commentary on i'm
sure the chat's going crazier you could get crazy about it
if if people super chat about it whoever
this is too cringe i was gonna say if there's two super chats about it whoever
super chatted the most that's who's right wow
wow and it settles it forever it settles it forever so if someone super chats a
dollar and says that brandon's right versus someone with buck fifty uh i'm
right then it's like i see you just suck going on your phone in a second
done i win this argument my alias moving on uh
huawei sponsors folding phone gets ah yes never mind not huawei not huawei helping
african governments do crazy things we're going to talk about sponsors
first of which is the new one the comet garage what is this i'm gonna give you
these this looks like the kind of emblem that could be on my superhero suit chest
well i read things you get those the comic garage is a monthly comic box
service comic book box service you choose your favorite characters and the
comic garage curates a personalized box
around your selections received 10 oh really yeah that's actually pretty sweet
i didn't know that received 10 curated comments in their monthly super box
every sky 10 or 24
curated comics in their ultimate box which is this one
that's actually pretty epic you can even purchase a character only box if you
prefer we got christian bell batman oh wait i'm holding this
this is aquaman dude yeah but we got batman on the back though
dude aquaman is okay i'm gonna do how would we do wrong
names for everybody we got long neck guy water boy
we got um
bent over the wrong way person that's the wrong should get him shanked
oh geez that's what i'm saying she's dead she's gone
oh that's it this is it yes it's legit let me open this one
super box 10 comics am i supposed to open this one jonas
do we have to keep these here i'm going to bring this home uh
i mean i'm not going to tell anyone you can do whatever
see this is a lot of do you have comments i have comics i like comics i
really like um marvel lore and superhero stuff but
i didn't have them as a kid my cousin did and he taught me everything and then
i did all the animated series and also just like read the lore online
but i don't actually have much experience with comic books themselves i
will also say both of these boxes were surprisingly rigid it is just cardboard
but it's relatively decent cardboard and it's
there's an inside sheath thing i don't really know how to so there's the
outside cardboard and then there's inside sheath and then what do you have
to type in to get this m m ms
type in awesome superheroes i wanna i wanna read that one oh no that's the
back it's spider woman it's spider woman okay yeah i wanna read an eminem
superhero comics yeah um and then inside the package
it's it's wrapped in this plastic stuff which probably sounds terrible through
the mic i'm sorry and then on top of that
well i guess around that i guess they have little shields
superhero shield thingies that protect your comics again
so they're looking out for your stuff how much is this i don't know
it doesn't actually say this is oh it does every month you'll get something to
read as well as something to collect i mean yeah use code Linus and get six dollars
off your first box by using this discount code you'll be entered to
you'll be entered uh for a chance to win a copy of new mutants number 98 which is
worth over 400 dollars a sec
i don't think it actually said exactly how much it costs but you can save money
if you use offer code Linus so do that that's actually pretty cool if you have
like kids or you're like a teacher or something like that
you could just read these and then just pass them out something that i new comic every day
really like about this kind of stuff is if you have like little nephews
and nieces and stuff yeah you just always have that's what i'm saying
presents there you go yeah like this is a lot oh hey haven't seen you for a bit
take five comics yeah i'm the cool uncle you're the coolest one yeah
abs absolutely speaking of uh cool uncle
savage jerky savage
reaper's scary i'm not surprised that one's not open yet we have reaper
sriracha bacon and habanero buffalo sauce
i have been told we're getting more soon because part of the problem at Linux
media group is everyone eats it all the time so we like never have the jerky
food machine oh my goodness like costs money for
other people but on the WAN Show we have like a thing a bancho token a token with
a string on it or something yeah that'd be awesome what makes a
great jerky you may think it's flavor but that's the half of it savage jerky
is hand crafted in small batches and use the best ingredients to create the highest pot highest
it just has highest product possible but i think they mean highest quality
product look how high this is without it's out of frame it's extremely
elevated without the need for nitrates or preservatives their goal is to make a
fantastic snack that tastes great and they have 13 different flavors from
their sweet teriyaki to their intense spicy carolina reaper they also make hot
sauces which they have here and are amazing and are actually i like the
jerky but the hot sauces are my favorite part 100 the they're very good um they also have
spice rub as well which i haven't i have tried and was good that was just a
really long time ago this weekend only you can use offer code
LTT to save not 10 but 20. usually that's a 10.
currently it's a 20 on all of their products that's 100 more savings guys
boom they're overstock on bacon so make sure you load up as much maple and
sriracha bacon as you can at LMG.gg
savage jerky liquidating that bacon boom

bad for you considering the preservatives and nitrates not in there

section but we're going to wait it's just like godzilla when you see the water like shaking in the closet there
he is he's here there he is he's approaching us
oh no there it is okay well we're still doing
the thing can i open this and then smell it can i put my tongue in there and like
lick the bottle i can keep this oh
you were just granted a bottle these are really good which one is that i'm not
telling you it's mine well is it a reaper because you're getting it's a reaper it's a reaper hot
sauce we don't mess around in my place oh there's more to open more spicy oh
that comes off easy what else do you want to take luke
okay this is the one i've tried this one's really good
spice rub okay so they've got like a
just savage jerky spice rub which is probably really solid i've also got the
herb blend which i believe is more in the mojo
sniff too hard sniff harder than you would
you get goosebumps a little bit it's like you get a little bit of the
spice response i can feel it in my throat ah wow pavlov
on the other hand this one probably smells delicious this is carolina
sorry john carolina habanero pineapple
oh that's got like a mustard smell to it
definitely does oh but then
like spicy mustard but there's like this deep within there i'm getting triggered
like nostalgia of when i was a kid and i used to like
get uh mcnuggets and like
and dip them some of this smells like the dip they
had in mcdonald's in the 90s it's deep it's
that's in like my okay you know okay yeah i think i kind of
that's a weird recollection but i think i see where you're coming from in a good
way to be clear completely yeah completely that's that's interesting i
want to steal that and take all right i'm going camping oh put this just
just oh it's definitely coming just okay we gotta move on we've been on this one
for too long pia all right private internet access private and access is a
variety vpn uh i'm sorry supports a variety of vpn protocols and types of
encryption and authentication allowing you to dial in the exact level of
privacy protection you need it has apps for Windows macOS Android iOS it still
says Linus i think at this point i think it's just
a joke i don't think they're ever going to fix it and google chrome with support for
several other platforms coming soon by the way the lioness part is supposed to be Linux they have over 3 000 bare metal
servers in 44 locations across 28 countries connect up to five devices at
the same time apps include dns leak protection ipv6 protection ip cloaking
one of my favorite things that isn't actually in here is the internet kill switch which is where if your vpn cuts
out for whatever reason it just turns off your internet
that is good because if you're doing something that you really want to be
going through a vpn uh you don't want it to the vpn to drop and keep transmitting
because then that data will be exposed exactly what is bare metal
server what does that mean that just basically means they're they're not necessarily they don't just
have a bunch of like virtual servers all over the place they're they have a whole
box for themselves they have they have over 3 000 whole boxes i wouldn't be
surprised if they were vpsed within there but they have control of 3 000
whole boxes irl servers that's like some some meat
i got some got some meat going on there put that on here yeah yeah
let's move back to this scene there we go it's been too long anyways jackets
oh my god people have seen these for a long time
they're stylish they're available now baby you're fancy
the hood's huge my brother would love that i can be a sith real quick what up
dudes um they're stretchy they're stretchy but also not stretchy they
stretch and then they they're stretching until they're not and then they don't because they're uh what do you call it a
swatch it they call it the swagger that's what it's called LTT Store yeah
so that's because this this color of gray the more notable gray material is
like tough jacket material and then the black
material you can see is sweater you can see the pockets are like really stretchy
yeah the arms stretch like a little half an inch and then they're really rigid
because this little bit will stretch forward so you have a little bit of
stretch in there which is kind of nice yeah we also noticed last time we were on wan
which i could i mean i'll just do it whatever he's gonna do it guys he's
doing it live boom damn hold on one second use your motor skills i'm trying
i'm struggling okay that was not the jacket's fault i
kept repeatedly having my shirt be in the jacket which wasn't great okay hold
on i'm gonna use a different lte product
the mic definitely got that oh no
i dripped all over myself that went on my shorts which isn't gonna you're doing
a great job but it's on the sweater part and it still comes right off oh you did
that on purpose yeah oh i thought you were like this guy can't zip you can't drink
like holy cow yeah no it the the sweater part is like water wicking to a certain
degree as well you can see that's already dried off which is awesome this
part of it yeah okay and this is the stretchy sweater part yeah so like it's
this part isn't as jackety as this part
that's the footage yeah that's the jacket part it's the water
nonetheless yeah it has jack still works kind of like a jacket it's not going to
be as good if you're in like torrential rain it will probably soak it sure but
like a little bit of water you're still going to be okay which is going to be
yeah there you go perfect there's also like there's an in big inside pocket
right here this is where the sizing and how to treat it information is by the way
big pockets on each side what else do they give us i don't know
oh there's the new hats officially what they're gonna beat yeah
i don't know but i've been wearing one i think
they're cool these are super cool they're not that in your face you know
it's like hey what kind of hat is that that classy cool snazzy hat that guy's
got going on yeah it looks alright here we go
um this i think this is all just stuff there's also so to keep talking about
the jacket these lines this silver line
and i believe those are high vis
this orange line seems not quite it's just very bright i'm just getting here i
could be wrong i'll do this yeah there we go it's just doing it the phone light is
it's doing nothing too bad to do it but yeah this silver part is high viz which
is actually nice if you're gonna be walking around at night that's a good thing that's a
very good thing there we go well i'm keeping this hat on
now perfect i think it was i don't think i look great in hats but i think let me
see it again
yeah see nah i just gotta go with the no hat
that's okay though it does all the other LTT merch i know it's weird my wife
hates when i wear hats and hoodies things that look like i'm from applesford my girlfriend loves when i
wear hats but i hate it abbotsford is uh farther it's far from
vancouver but not as far as chilliwack Colton lives they all wear hats
um i was gonna say it i was like it feels more like the people where i grew
up because it's more that direction um
anyways is that the show no we ought to talk about huawei yeah
the other one's kind of not that interesting huawei's folding phone gets
delayed again oh no it's kind of interesting
so is it yeah yeah you can do it all right
samsung i want to know samsung has been developing this folding
uh amoled display tech for like six years and spent billions on it yeah or
not billions not billions but tens of millions hundreds of millions they spend
a lot of money on it and apparently i didn't know this i missed the story but
in november of 2018 they had their technology stolen
oh did you hear that no yeah there was like people got prosecuted and stuff and
so i don't know how they pulled it off but
some people were able to uh steal like blueprints and other relevant
documentation such that they were able to sell it for 14 million dollars
oh and then i don't know if it's public knowledge of like who bought it they had
like some shell company stuff going on um
maybe huawei bought it i don't know but so that is why samsung rushed to market
with a product their folding phone that they
didn't obviously they didn't test it enough because all the youtubers and stuff who got early access to it there
were so many problems they had to recall it yeah so they they rush and they the
question is why it's because they didn't have the head start that
they would have had they not had the tax stolen
and so the funny part here is that huawei whether or not they stole it i
don't know huawei is just another company that
still that also can't bring this to market yeah and so originally they said
that they're folding phone the mate x i almost said mate 10 thanks apple the
mate x was supposed to come out mid 2019
which would have been i guess july june july uh it got pushed to september
because of the uh tariffs the trump tariffs stuff and
then now they're saying it's getting pushed till november
and they're saying we're really going to make that deadline because they want to hit the holiday season but oh yeah
we'll see yeah i um
that was a lot more interesting than the notes so thank you because i didn't care
but now there's this whole conspiracy behind it stuff yeah i love it not even
conspiracy they caught them it happens it's real it's beyond that
that's pretty cool actually i like when that kind of stuff gets interesting i
just like i don't know it's a what like a twenty seven hundred dollar phone
twenty six hundred dollar phone us yeah i'm not buying it like i don't like
that's more than people are spending on high-end gaming pcs like
that's more than i i believe any of my friends first cars
definitely weren't mine yeah that's too much who
how long do you think it'll take for them to be mainstream products i think it'll take a
while but that's the thing is like i'm i'm i am not that interested in the
early adopter tax on this i paid early adopter tax on a bunch of like vr stuff
that was terrible because i was super interested in it and i feel like this is
the same kind of situation but i'm not super interested in it so i don't care i'm sure some people are
but like whatever it's just a phone if they had some like crazy new insane
technology for computers and it was overpriced and junk i'd probably still
be into it because that's more in my realm like if apple released ar glasses
that were sweet dude i'm in yeah let's do it
ar is amazing to me i'm totally on that but like it's just yeah it's different i
don't know this one i'm hoping like dbrand send us one and then Linus hates
it so it's just right on the shelf and then i can use it for a week sweet yeah
that's basically just do a daily driver swap for one week that'd be pretty interesting okay do you think though
that it'll push once it becomes normalized it'll push the prices of
normal phones like the ones we're using down or do you think these phones will
stay at a grand or eleven hundred dollars and then these things will be
like two to three hundred dollars more at all times and it'll just be like now
we're all just paying more for phones yep yeah yeah
that's the thing about prices nothing's really worth anything it's worth as much
as you'll pay for it yeah and you start it's all relative and there's whatever
your anchor point is that's where the price is yeah
and like they have been getting some backlash because the
generation generational improvement isn't really there and the prices have
been going up so phone sales are going down and i think
they're starting to feel that and they've done some price zoning and stuff
around that so like i wouldn't be surprised if something happens to prices but i don't think we're going to see
these phones go down in price because of the folding phones is what i mean
they might go down in price due to other factors yeah thank god we have china
here to commoditize this whole category but but i don't think it'll be because
of the folding phones another thing huawei's in the news for is that they
helped african governments spy on political employees
sweet the wall street journal reports that huawei technologies intercepted
communications from government opposition in uganda and
zambia zombia zombia bunch of zombies live
there zambia how do i not know how to say that
that's zambia bro zambia i mean maybe it's zombia i'm terrible no i think it's
zambia zame's aim but different i feel like i haven't read that name in years
i looked at that and was like video game location
i'm terrible i need to get on the geography train i'm sure john
john is so upset with me right now yeah zambia's right next to wakanda
yeah it's a fictional african state see i can pronounce that
one um they they deliver them to police
encrypted messages were gathered and political opponents were tracked using
cellular cellular data representatives of uganda and zambia deny their zombie
i'm gonna go i'm just gonna own it zambia
deny the allegations huawei underwent an international investigation and found
their employees weren't involved
there's literally insert large eye roll
indeed the wall street journal does not indicate that huawei executives were
aware of what was happening in africa
but like yeah i don't know some underlings might
have been paid off but kinda doubt it considering isn't there a
huge amount of uh chinese investment going on in africa oh tons yeah tons of
suns yeah yeah yeah so they're trying to like
pseudo-own africa as far as i wasn't gonna say it on
air oh all right
well i'm it's they get really large and very low
interest loans and it helps them when there's like a vote
yeah on um taiwan or something like that to have
different political leaders vote their way because they kind of owe them one
right yeah interesting
smart move for that yeah is there any other news i don't think so
i have a little bit of a bone to pick oh
you do the keyboard stuff at Linux media group right okay yeah maybe
why haven't you guys jumped on the custom train yet what do you mean
there's like there's whole youtubers and like a bunch of really big twitch
streamers i know uh wow he plays fortnite his name's not
ninja it's a different dude who plays fortnite
he's been in [ __ ] no
um looks like guy he's been in mr beast videos okay mr beast has done a few
things for him okay i don't know the dude's name t-few oh
now tfu has a custom keyboard scarra has
a custom keyboard a bunch of these guys bunch of these streamers oh are you talking about like a merch keyboard like
what are an lgbt about like custom body custom pcb custom
plate custom switches yeah i like either i actually would like
to do that i've i've been fantasizing for a while about my ideal like my
wishlist keyboard i actually did pitch this to Linus i was i thought of a
series where we do like our wishlist product you know we did do it yeah that
was like what would the perfect monitor be like or no the perfect tv remember
they get they did renders of like it's a tv with displayport and this and that
and i think we should just do a whole series where we try to get these made and i get my wishlist keyboard and
someone else gets their wishlist headphones or whatever yeah
yeah okay so i want to find something i think the easiest way to do this uh give
me one second okay place if people are wondering where
i wish this keyboard is let me tell you okay so this keyboard
oop wrong screen this keyboard
um right here
just blackbody keyboard those are custom keycaps that was like um a they would
they were topper switches with a cherry stem and i got custom keycaps for it to
make like an LTT theme out of it it was
a really cool thing and it was like the LTT keyboard for a little while okay and
we featured it in a bunch of videos and all this kind of stuff i want v2 okay i
don't want to do it this is your case i'll do it yeah but like bring it on
how much does i think those cost oh they can be pretty expensive
i saw like a kit i was checking out zelio is that how you pronounce those
those this is really popular in the keyboard enthusiasts don't know how to
pronounce anything apparently
actually okay in the keyboard enthusiast community right now people are so amped
on zelio switches okay it's kind of spelled like zealot like z-e-a-l
and um i was like i need to get these for an upcoming video because i think
what we're gonna do is a blind test of what switches people actually like we're
gonna try to have the same like back plate and key caps and
everything and the only variable that changes is the switch and we're gonna set up like all of them romer g's people
are always crapping on logitech romer g's we're gonna have all the different cherries we're gonna have kale they have
new things coming out yeah i'm gonna get i'm gonna see if they wanna sick too maybe they'll be interested and we'll
get those new uh logitech key switches that are just coming out we have the
zealios in there and some other enthusiast ones and we'll just have a bunch and people will they won't know
what they are and they'll just rank them i think i think to do that i've seen a
lot of keyboard blind tests and the last one last time i did which i
think was like a year ago or more uh he brought me down randomly and it was like
a terrible keyboard i think it was cooler master
sorry guys but still it was it was really bad and it was like a fake mechanical switch or something and it
was terrible oh yeah um and then they had like a real mechanical switch and
like immediately it's like okay obviously but when they're kind of close
and they're all really good switches i think just like set them free and let
them take their time because sometimes it's hard yeah that's exactly what i was
thinking yeah i didn't want to have like because we did one the other day here it
was a cherry versus kale spoiler alert
nobody got it not one person
um that's actually pretty and uh but you know why right
terry's manufacturing processes went into the public domain and the kl just
copied them so they're like the same thing that's good yeah well they said
well i guess someone would argue that uh cherries are more durable they're gonna
last for more million clicks but
yeah i've never had a switch from either of them die on me so like good job to
both of you i'm still using the same cherry based keyboard and i type a lot
and i'm always on my freaking computer that's why my back
screwed up hooray but uh
i have the same one from like 2009.
all the switches are fine like i don't know yeah i want a custom anyway i was
gonna say i was on their website for zelio and they had like these kits that you get where you get the back plate
and you have to buy these switches to put it in everything and it was still
six hundred dollars i was like what what
is this hobby it's it's there's there's wildly
expensive keyboards like uh one of the one of the guys i'm talking about he's
got a youtube channel and a twitch page trying to find his i'm gonna butcher his
name but i think it's tea types it's t-a-e
there's such nice stuff out there t-a-e-h-a
types he made scara's keyboard and a few other big time streamers keyboards and i
think he worked with like random frank p and a few other big youtubers working
with keyboards with those guys um and their stuff looks super cool yeah we
should have more making a keyboard yeah well we did a video about that last year
a custom one what Anthony and Linus did it last
february what was it called me and luke didn't see that video
or something like that and we're gonna do another one at some point yeah um
we're making an all-metal one soon yeah i think so i think um one of the new
people is doing that how to do a custom keyboard did i just miss this can you
build can you build your own mechanical keyboard wow
wow way to know wow wow
he's even got over two million views
lol not all of us get to review every single video nick okay how custom did they do
it okay everybody go and watch that video right
now i want three million views by monday yeah
oh that looks pretty custom it's custom af bro did they just buy a
kit though because the current dudes that are doing custom are like getting
their own bodies made and like all this stuff yeah they didn't do that yeah okay
yeah yeah yeah we knew this yeah we knew that we're getting i want we're talking
customers i want beyond a little workshop no exactly that's why i'm
bringing it up now is because like i i'm talking beyond the like mass drop yeah
which is super cool and if you want to do a keyboard that way i want a whole
new alphabet man letters you've never seen
a whole new punctuation and tarot bangs
you know the enterobang yeah okay you know about that
well anyways i think that's it do we miss anything nick no okay you guys like
those jackets i do yeah they're nice they're nice i like the hybrid nature
they're like my shorts or there's the yeah i feel empowered
seriously i feel like i'm a superhero definitely looking like a superhero yeah
it goes along with the comic books that we've got going on uh this will be
great in the fall i'm really warm right now but this is the under studio lights it's a
little warm but that's sort of the point i think oh yeah so like it's supposed to
be warm a lot of people picking them up so oh really
yeah we sell a lot of stuff we sell it fast
yeah we sell it fast and we didn't order that many of this so like if you don't
want to wait like six months yeah get it out yeah yeah they have to do
restocking stuff like actually so like if they run out of your size and stuff
they'll have to restock and that will probably take away everything that we make basically is custom yeah like this
was designed custom yeah in partnership with a garment manufacturer yeah like
it's not like we're just like oh order this like random a1 model no we we make
it from ground up so it takes a while to restock these guys
are like sending emails to pakistan and stuff guys like
uh touchy subject it is yeah
yeah i don't watch the news okay let's move on
okay that's the end of the show thanks for watching uh intro
oops i didn't do there we go in a boat ah
i'm dead
he drops his couch not gonna lie wow who says it's a couch
we just both it's so fun that was amazing again
fail bye
