1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,520
Welcome to the W show. We are 21 minutes

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:13,440
late and Lus isn't even here. Well, Lionus, that's why we're late. Yeah,

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,240
I was here on time. James is here many hours before on time. Trying to figure

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,960
out whether or not we should start it without him. I think he's going to relieve me soon. Yeah, they're filming a

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:26,240
video like right there. So, us talking is probably going to be super annoying for them, but they told us to do it,

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,160
right? You said do it. Not our fault. Welcome to the WAN Show. We got great

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,760
topics. user benchmark controversy. They change the weights of how things are

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:37,840
scored and it moves some processes around in the ranking system in some

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:44,480
funky ways and some people especially the AMD crowd are very upset about it

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,280
and Cloudfare stops servicing 8chan

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:52,640
but free speed. Oh my god, they're a private company. Anyways, AMD Epic 702

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:59,239
series Rome processor. I'm not even going to say anymore. All that and more

13
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,239
on the W show. Roll the intro.

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,600
whatever they call it. It's all AdSense taken

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:16,479
demonetized for hamster dance. Yeah. Is

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Freddy Fatty Freddy.

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:24,600
Wait, what? Squarespace. Squarespace

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,600
and rul.

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Oh my. AJ is crying right now. Pissed.

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,680
absolutely balling at this moment. Anytime I say anything French, I I think

21
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,759
I like the hair and the veins on his body are just like he like partially

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,560
Wolverines. Okay. Did you know that in uh America the Kia Sportage is

23
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,960
pronounced the Kia Sportage? Really? Yes. Like act like in ads and stuff.

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:54,960
Yeah, as far as that's what I heard. Whoa. Sportage. Interesting. Speaking of

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,799
Sportage, Cloudflare terminates. They did this, right? They terminated the

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Okay, so Cloudflare terminates 8chan. That's I believe I mean Cloudflare isn't

27
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,000
a like a server host. So they probably terminated like DNS setup and all this

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,360
other kind of stuff. So you wouldn't be able to get there. But they didn't like

29
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,920
delete the you know they they don't have that type of relationship. But um for

30
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,400
all intents and purposes the website's down until they find a new replacement.

31
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,319
From what I've heard they did and then that's gone now, too. Right. So, what

32
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,480
happened was they got another potato. They went to a competitor uh whose name

33
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,360
is on here, but I'm not in the right part of the dock. Sure. Epic. Epic. Yes.

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,239
And then it was Epic with a K. That's the most like most epic type of Epic.

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,640
Absolutely. Um Epic in turn though was relying on the services of Boxility uh

36
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:48,879
who pulled the plug on Epic after it learned that that a chat had moved to

37
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Epic because they had the same uh philosophy as as Cloudflare. So, as far

38
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:59,200
as I know, you still can't get on to 8chan. Okay. I think I'm not going to

39
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,440
try right now, but uh I tried earlier and all I got was like literally if you

40
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,760
just type in achan, all you get is articles about how it's down about like

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,000
all the recent news about it. I couldn't even get It used to be fun when this

42
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,040
kind of stuff would happen and you would get like the FBI website seized page.

43
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,599
Have you seen those? It should just be a like a gif of an FBI guy. Just we're

44
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,879
taking your website. What are you What are you doing

45
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:32,000
here? Uh, let's see. Like a guy and like a like a detective guy. Yeah, these

46
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,280
these were epic. Yeah, those are cool.

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Show them. Yeah. What do your Elvis see?

48
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Seizure of mega upload. It's like so aggressively

49
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,959
official looking. Seized in the background repeated over and over and

50
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,280
over again. And then it's like government stamps. It's like strobing

51
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:54,720
government seizure. Government seizure. It's like the purest form of justice

52
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,000
porn, I think. We did it, guys. Let's put our stamps and stuff all over it.

53
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,480
It's us. We took it. So, yeah. Okay. So,

54
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,159
what what happened? This is related to a recent recent tragedies. Um,

55
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,120
particularly the shooting in El Paso. Um, so I'll just read it here. The

56
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:14,959
suspected gunman in the recent El Paso shooting appears to have been inspired

57
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,759
by the forum website known as 8chan, which is of course related to 4chan, but

58
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:25,199
even less moderated. even less. Yeah. Some people call it infinitan, infinity

59
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:26,639
chan. It's just it's basically described

60
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:31,840
as like a blank piece of paper. You can just write whatever you want there. Okay. Anyone can start their own little

61
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:37,759
micro blog there. And it's unmodderated. Okay. For the most part, uh it appears

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,000
that this gunman posted a 2300word

63
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:46,240
manifesto to the site just 25 minutes before beginning his attack. That's he's

64
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,880
that guy is online 25 minutes before

65
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,840
like Well, we'll see. The I like the stickens. Okay. Okay. Um, nearly the

66
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,639
same thing happened on Hchan before the terror attack in Christ Church, New

67
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,280
Zealand. Oh, yes. So, it's I think

68
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,759
there's at least three big tragedies linked to Achan at this point. That's uh

69
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,759
that's pretty intense. Yeah. Um, the El Paso shooter specifically referenced the

70
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,120
Christ Church incident and appears to have been inspired by the largely

71
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:18,479
unmodderated discussion on Achan which glorified the previous massacre. That's

72
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,759
a dark stage of humanity. If if you have unmodderated

73
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,440
uh conversation, it just turns into that. Ah, I think I think that there's a

74
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,320
few different things going on. I think when populations get significantly large

75
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,160
or sufficiently large, there's just a minimum percentage of crazy people and

76
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,520
when there's billions and billions of us and we can all connect with each other.

77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,320
As long as you speak you both speak English or you both speak the same language, you can find each other and

78
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,720
everything's so broadcasted and people won't shut up about their names and like

79
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,919
they get glorified to a certain degree. Yeah. They can find each other. Yeah.

80
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,759
And when there's just so many people on Earth and they can find each other like that, there's there's bound to be a

81
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,320
handful of them that congregate in the same space. And on top of that, I think

82
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:01,360
that there's like people get radicalized. Like you see this other

83
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,039
content and it pushes you into places you haven't been before and you actually

84
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:10,400
get worse. And so it's a there's a feedback loop there. It's like like riot

85
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:14,240
mentality but website based. Yeah. It's I just I find and this has been talked

86
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,120
about a million times by people way wiser and more intelligent than me, but

87
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:23,440
it's really really frustrating when something like this happens and they broadcast pictures and their writing and

88
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,000
their name and everything because it makes them famous within various

89
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,960
circles. Well, on the bright side is I was researching the story today and I

90
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,479
still don't know the dude's name. Perfect. Okay, so that's cool. Good. Um,

91
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:40,319
so what happens was CloudFare uh steps up and they made a big blog post

92
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:45,199
statement saying why they they pulled services from this particular website

93
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,600
which is they stress not something that they want to do. We have some quotes

94
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:54,080
here saying um we reluctantly tolerate content that we find reprehensible like

95
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:59,280
we try to host a lot of companies that we think are bad people in the name of

96
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,840
free speech and giving platform to as many different voices as possible. But

97
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,440
there's a line um quoting again, but we

98
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,560
draw the line at platforms that have demonstrated they directly inspired

99
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,360
tragic events and are lawless by design.

100
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Han has crossed that line. While removing Han from our network takes the

101
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:20,080
heat off of us, it does nothing to address why hateful sites fester online

102
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:24,479
because that's a big thing. A lot of people are saying, well, like this isn't going to do anything. The site's just

103
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:27,440
going to go back up online tomorrow. And if it doesn't, another site like it

104
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:32,240
will. Websites are really hard to squash. There's a lot of places you can

105
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:33,680
go to stick around. And yeah, I mean the

106
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:38,080
people that were on here are still gonna be on the internet. So yeah, although I

107
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,440
think I don't know, sometimes when you remove a forum like that, you just have

108
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:48,240
to find somewhere else to hang out and maybe you dradicalize a little bit. Maybe. But it's the internet. I find it

109
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:51,199
interesting that uh they're not onioned because like that's not even hard

110
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,639
anymore. I paused for a second before I said that because I was like maybe I shouldn't give them the idea, but then

111
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,319
like it's pretty freaking obvious. They're internet people. Yeah, they can

112
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:03,039
probably figure it out. A prime is here. He must hate something about the show. No, I didn't realize you guys were. I

113
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,639
thought he was an Enderman for a second. What's an Enderman? He just What is it?

114
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:11,199
Like those Minecraft units where if you if you if you look at them, it's like a

115
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,720
problem, but he just and he just like stands there and takes things every once

116
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:18,160
in a while and you're like holding something. I feel like the fact that

117
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,720
I've never really played Minecraft is like a kid never having played Lego. I

118
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:27,919
feel like it's a like a What a shame. What a shame you never played Minecraft.

119
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:30,240
Yeah. And what a what a um tone pivot we

120
00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:34,159
just did. Yeah, absolutely. Back to the dark stuff. Okay, so Instagram made a

121
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:40,320
response because well what happened was after the cloud flare thing. Yeah, the

122
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:41,680
CEO of 8chan made a video and it it's

123
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,640
pretty interesting. It's really free speechy. It's really like there's a

124
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,000
superimposed Benjamin Franklin like

125
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,640
picture in the background like a wolf t-shirt almost. Okay. And um he

126
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,959
basically says like look like we abide by the law. Um, we're always forthright.

127
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:01,760
We work with the police like within minutes of these attacks. Like we're not

128
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:04,480
evil people. I'm not an extremist. Uh, and this is a blank piece of paper that

129
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:08,720
people can use for whatever purposes they do. And sometimes evil people like

130
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:12,959
this use it in evil ways. Okay? Cuz that's not free speech doesn't mean as

131
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,000
far as I know literally everything in because I'm talking about the American

132
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,200
one. Um, this is not my own country's laws so I'm not 100% on top of it. But

133
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,279
as far as I know, you can't do like uh

134
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:28,959
calls for violence and stuff. M. So, it's not purely a blank piece of paper

135
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:30,959
as far as I know. Um, cuz that's not

136
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:34,399
allowed. Yeah, there's definitely you're not you're not Yeah, you're not allowed

137
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,839
to say certain things like free speech to a certain degree. Yeah. Um,

138
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:44,360
yeah. I don't know. But then there were some there were certain things that he

139
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:48,320
called out as facts like um he said that

140
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,880
the the shooter posted not on the

141
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:58,640
manifesto not on 8chan first but indeed on Instagram first and he then also says

142
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,800
that um the manifesto was not uploaded

143
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,480
by that same user. The shooter did not upload it. He may have written it but a

144
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:10,399
different user uploaded it. Obviously if that's true then it would have been someone working with him. Yeah. Um

145
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:15,519
But and he also says that CloudFare has an impending initial public offering and

146
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:20,480
they just want like good PR in the leadup to that. Okay, because like there

147
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Okay, so something to talk about uh in in Cloudflare's I say this every time

148
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:27,200
something like this happens on Wow, which is fairly often is Cloudflare is

149
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,360
completely within their right to do this. Cloudflare is not the American government. They're a private company.

150
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,000
They can do whatever the hell they want. Um we work with Cloudflare. they could

151
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,200
take full plane and line of tech tips for them off their service if they

152
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:43,839
wanted because there that's completely within their rights. So sometimes the

153
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:49,519
free speech argument when you're talking about a company doesn't make a ton of

154
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:54,640
sense to me. Um you can go after their policies in regards to how they deal

155
00:10:51,680 --> 00:11:00,079
with that. Um cuz like an example that I like to bring up is that the forum does

156
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:04,079
not have anything like that at all. You there's no like free posting rules on

157
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,079
the forum. It's a tech forum. We have an off-topic section where you can talk

158
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,519
about some stuff, but we usually try to stay away from political things. We try

159
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,880
to stay away from whatever. The reason for that is there's no paid moderators

160
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,920
on the forum. And those kind of topics

161
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,640
create a lot of work and they're all

162
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,640
volunteers. That is actually the reason is because we have a bunch of volunteer

163
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,560
moderators and when you do that, they can't moderate the rest of the forum,

164
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:33,120
which is actually the important parts in my opinion. just go somewhere else. It's

165
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:38,240
a tech form. There's a big old out there. Exactly. So, like I I like to

166
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:43,200
defend the company's ability to kind of do whatever in that regard because we

167
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,760
have a similar problem on the forum. Um, this is obviously a redonulously

168
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,360
different scale. Um, but like yeah, I think I think it is definitely up to the

169
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:55,360
companies to do whatever. Now, Cloudflare has positioned themselves for

170
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,040
a long time as a defender of these types of things. So that's where it starts to

171
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,959
get a little bit interesting because Cloudflare has refused to take down a

172
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:08,160
lot of different websites. Well, in their own words, they're struggling to

173
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,079
create a policy that can be broad and

174
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,839
consistent and applied again and again. Like how do you word that perfectly so

175
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:17,600
that it aligns perfectly with your values across all these myriad

176
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,399
situations that are just getting crazier and crazier every day. It seems like how

177
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000
do you make a blanket rule? Yeah. Yeah. So, like I I can sort of understand the

178
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:31,600
response to a certain degree because they've positioned themselves as that entity that will defend kind of

179
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,560
whatever. Um, but then I just want everyone to keep in mind that it is a

180
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:39,120
private company. It's not the US government. That law doesn't really apply. Well, the mission statement is

181
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:44,320
something like to create a better internet. And the definition of better

182
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:51,920
though really depends. Does that mean freer or does it mean safer? Yeah. Who

183
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:54,160
knows? Um so after um the CEO of HN made

184
00:12:51,920 --> 00:13:00,560
that statement actually Instagram or Facebook responded saying Instagram said

185
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,920
uh said that the shooters manifesto um

186
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:07,279
wasn't was not first uploaded to to

187
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Instagram indeed um they did find an

188
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:13,880
Instagram account that was tied to the gunman and they disabled it but it had

189
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:20,800
been inactive for over a year. So, who knows? What is this 8chan CEO

190
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,600
know? What is this Facebook PR person

191
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:27,279
telling us? Who knows? Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of interesting how it's turning

192
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:32,959
into like a no, the crazy guy posted something on your site first kind of

193
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,279
battle. That's That's a little funky. Um

194
00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:39,040
I don't know. None of this is good. But when the Christ Church shooter did his

195
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,240
thing, he streamed it. Was that not on Instagram that he streamed or was it

196
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,519
Facebook? I think. Well, I don't think it was Twitch. I'm

197
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,639
not sure. Oh, right. Yeah, good call. Um, I'm actually not sure, but I think

198
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,480
it was a Facebook owned entity. I thought it was Facebook itself, like

199
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:58,560
Facebook.com. I don't know, but I'm not I'm really not sure. But that that one

200
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,320
had weird ties to like he called out

201
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:03,920
subscribed to PewDiePie and he did all this which was like really stupid and

202
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:09,199
didn't make any sense at all. And there was a bunch of other stuff that

203
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:14,720
it's really interesting how it's it's kind of the reverse of the like NASCAR

204
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:18,240
idea where like when one of these crazy things happen, everyone tries to figure

205
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:22,079
out anything that they had any interest in and then applies evil to that. You

206
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,079
know what I mean? Oh god. Speaking of evil,

207
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,079
that was awesome. Out of focus. And that's the end of that topic anyway.

208
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:33,440
Yeah. Perfect. Cuz I didn't really want to talk about it anymore. What up? What

209
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,920
up, ladies and gentlemen? Uh, what topic? This is not my laptop. What topic

210
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:42,399
is no fun and no good? Uh, 8chan taking or Cloudflare taking down 8chan. Oh

211
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,279
lordy. Yeah, we thought we'd get rid of that before you showed up. Yeah, that's

212
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:50,320
a complicated topic. I actually had wanted to talk about that. Okay, throw

213
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,440
your input. Um, cuz I feel like a broken

214
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:57,000
record on these types of topics. Oh. Oh,

215
00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:00,480
yeah. I love BIOS updates that are

216
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,079
completely like, okay, I can postpone

217
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:08,000
it. Wow. There's a there's a there's a countdown on Sure. Nothing should ever

218
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,199
automatically BIOS update. Can we just agree on that real quick? Yes, we can.

219
00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:16,000
We can. You know what? No, I'm going to play I'm going to play devil's advocate

220
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:21,440
because in I just watched a video from Paul. He said one of the highest shame

221
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:25,600
things to do is have your computer break because you you uh power goes out while

222
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:30,240
it's while it's files updating. In the event, remember this is a device in this

223
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:34,639
case which has a built-in UPS effectively. Okay. So, so there's that.

224
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,839
They do have that does help. They do have one safeguard in place. This is

225
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,440
really not going well. I think it went away. Never mind. It went away. That was

226
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:48,639
a weird error. Like unrecognizable error. Um Okay. Okay.

227
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,920
Okay. And it did it again. Okay. Now I I

228
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:54,959
It's hard for me to do this, but I'm going to I'm defending this behavior right now. I'm playing devil's advocate

229
00:15:52,880 --> 00:16:00,279
here. What's that box? I I don't know. Just just just just hold on for a second

230
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:04,000
here. Okay. There's some kind of

231
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:05,839
horrendous CPU security exploit. Okay.

232
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,320
The only mitigation is like a microode update. Okay. Your computer's BIOS. It

233
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:16,959
should it should update. It should like make you do I don't think it should automatically happen on a timer. No, I

234
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:21,839
don't really disagree with you. I'm I think it should tell you and be like,

235
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,360
"Yo, you should like really do this." Um but yeah, I don't think Okay. So,

236
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,920
honestly, what if your battery is low? Well, you'd think it would check. Like,

237
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:34,560
the BIOS can read the battery percentage. Are you sure that did?

238
00:16:31,839 --> 00:16:37,440
Maybe. It didn't look too sophisticated. Okay,

239
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:41,759
so hold on a second. Let's talk about Let's talk about the the whole 8 Chan

240
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:49,759
thing that went down. So, my main take on this. So, there's a couple of things.

241
00:16:43,959 --> 00:16:52,959
Um, I am pro- free speech, but here's

242
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:56,480
the thing that a lot of the people upset

243
00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:57,320
about Cloudflare blocking 8chan seem to

244
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,440
have overlooked. Free speech, I mean, okay,

245
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:07,039
there's a number of ways that free speech gets misunderstood by the average

246
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:11,760
person. Way number one, free speech is protection from government

247
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:18,799
persecution, not the right to just say anything you want to anyone you want

248
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,600
with uh no ill effects. That is not what

249
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:26,799
free speech means. So the other thing too is the general concept of your

250
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:32,679
rights ending where someone else's begins. Cloudflare is a private

251
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,280
enterprise exercising

252
00:17:32,679 --> 00:17:39,200
their very similar to free speech. Like there's a lot of things that are not

253
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:46,240
technically speech that get protected by free speech. Um but they are effectively

254
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,880
exercising their free speech rights to

255
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:53,679
not deal with or have any association with ach. Okay. Point number three that

256
00:17:51,760 --> 00:18:00,120
seems to get misunderstood by a lot of people. The United States of America is

257
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,120
not actually the world.

258
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,640
I didn't bring up that one. I did I did bring up the previous one. That's

259
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,559
usually one of your favorites. Yeah, I know it is. Yeah. Yeah. No, I brought up

260
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,919
the like it's a private entity thing, but I didn't bring up the America isn't

261
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,440
actually the entire world argument, which is I don't know. That one just I

262
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,600
just I get such a kick out of that one because I always get these messages um

263
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,840
whenever I'm in another time zone. Lanus, why are you uploading at three in

264
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:30,640
the morning? Because East Coast USA is just one of, believe it or not, more

265
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,000
than 24 time zones.

266
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:38,240
There are a lot of time zones out there. It's amazing. You'd be You'd be floored. You'd be floored by how many time zones

267
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,919
there are. Um, all right. So, we can go

268
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,600
ahead. We can move on to the next topic. Yes. Uh, why is this not why is this

269
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,840
doing this? How many times do I have to load my browser to the perpetual Wow

270
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,600
document? Okay. What have you guys talked about so far? Just the Achan

271
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,039
thing. it. I think we should do the user benchmark thing because it's in the

272
00:18:52,799 --> 00:19:00,400
title. Okay, let's do that. So, I got you. The user bench controversy. So, we

273
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:05,679
were actually supposed to talk about this when we did W show live at LTX. Oh,

274
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:09,280
we Yeah, we we said it was one of our highlighted topics. We were like going

275
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:12,640
to talk about it and then people got mad at me because they were like, "You guys

276
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,559
are covering up for Intel again." And I'm like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, chill

277
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:20,240
chill for a second." We got all wrapped up like giving away cool stuff to the

278
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,000
audience. like we were just like having a good time and actually we didn't cover

279
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:27,280
a ton of topics for some No, not at all. For some reference of how much I

280
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:32,320
completely forgot this, I'm the one that decided it was our headliner topic and I

281
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:35,760
got him to pose for it and everything and I had I don't think I'd ever seen

282
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:40,559
this before. So, the only reason I brought this up was cuz I saw a couple of comments that people were like, "Hey,

283
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,080
you guys said you were going to talk about this." I was like, "Yeah, we did

284
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,720
actually. Okay, we should do that." I hope you called it out as your caller

285
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,640
topics cuz I don't remember this literally at all. So, user benchmark or

286
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:55,280
user bench or whatever it's called. Yeah, user benchmark which I have

287
00:19:52,480 --> 00:20:01,440
actually never heard of. Should I have heard of user benchmark?

288
00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:04,080
Uh, let me go make

289
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:10,640
uh Okay, I have maybe I've heard of it at some point. But user benchmark has

290
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,919
never actually been um part of our

291
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:17,039
benchmarking suite. You're sharing screen sharing by the way right now. It's never been part of our um

292
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:22,080
benchmarking suite here at Lionus Media Group. Um I have never run it out of

293
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:26,080
idle curiosity. Um so I thought it was something else. No, I've never seen this

294
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:31,360
either. Okay, cool. So anyway, apparently they get millions of website

295
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:36,240
traffic every month. So that's cool. Apparently they recently adjusted their

296
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:42,400
score weighting mechanism. So previously they weighed single core performance as

297
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:44,240
40% of the score, quad core as or quad

298
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,480
threaded mid jump back real quick. Jump back to your screen for sure. Uh

299
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,840
quadthreaded performance as 50% of your score and multi-core performance as 10%

300
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:58,320
of your score. I have fixed it now. So you can see on their scoring things they

301
00:20:55,799 --> 00:21:01,440
have percentage values, user rating percentage values, single core,

302
00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:05,919
multi-core. I don't actually see the quad core thing which is the highest weighted one. So not sure but don't

303
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:11,280
worry about it but they have everything like set on the top here. Okay. So they

304
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:18,000
came out and they were like however due to unrealistic scores of many core CPUs

305
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:21,520
like Ryzen 3000 series userbench changed

306
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,880
their waiting system as follows 40%

307
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:29,840
single core 58% quad core and only 2%

308
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,919
multi-core. So, previously it was 40% single core, 50% quad core, and 10% uh

309
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,200
multi-core. So, they dropped the multiore by a lot. All right. So, this

310
00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:41,200
riled up AMD fans who want to see their

311
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:47,280
team's processor at the top of the chart. And you guys shouldn't be fans of

312
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:52,559
microprocessor manufacturers because I'm I'm going to let you in on I'm going let

313
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:56,480
you in on a little secret. Okay.

314
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:59,559
They don't care about you. What? I know

315
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,159
they care about their shareholders.

316
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:07,679
Oh, I I'm sorry, Luke. Hurts my feelings. I appreciate it. Fair to I'm

317
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:13,919
damaged now. Uh anyway, so this this riled up the people who are fans of AMD.

318
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:16,320
Um and to be clear, I'm not down on

319
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:20,720
being excited about competition in the marketplace. I'm excited about that, but

320
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:24,799
I'm not a fan of AMD. I am not a fan of Intel because at the end of the day,

321
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:31,480
business is business and that's all it is. Okay, so this riled up AMD fans who

322
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:36,080
are fans for whatever reason because the

323
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,600
$120 quad core Core i38100 now beats Oh,

324
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,919
wait, no, sorry. This is a point of clarification. So, here's the thing,

325
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:46,320
though. AMD processors were not the only ones negatively affected in terms of

326
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:53,679
their perceived value by these changes. So, the $120 quad core Core i38100 now

327
00:22:50,159 --> 00:22:56,159
actually beats Intel's $2,000 18 core

328
00:22:53,679 --> 00:23:01,360
Core i9 99980 XCE in the rankings because of its higher boost frequency.

329
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,640
Oops. Um, so User Benchmark has hundreds

330
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:06,320
of thousands of benchmark submissions in its database that influence the purchasing decisions of nearly 10

331
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:11,200
million visitors each month. Wow, this sounds like an ad for user benchmark, which I've never heard of. No. Uh,

332
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:14,720
following the July 2019 cohort, we noticed the CPU, gaming, and desktop

333
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,120
indices were overestimating all CPUs with core counts beyond eight. until we updated that index. So, this is

334
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:24,000
basically them sort of clarifying why this was done. You know what? I

335
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:28,000
understand why AMD fans are mad because, you know, their Threadripper CPUs um

336
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:33,919
now don't look as good. But the thing that people have to understand is that

337
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,679
while I don't necessarily agree on 2% as

338
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:39,520
the right number for workloads that will take advantage of a Threadripper for

339
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:48,559
the average user. Yeah. Um it's definitely less than 10%. Yeah.

340
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:51,720
So, and like from the wording that I've

341
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:55,280
seen, it it literally says

342
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:58,000
uh it's geared towards gamers. They say

343
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,600
that in the text on their website. So, I think user here I think what they could

344
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,039
do is a couple of things. They could improve this system by either updating

345
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:12,240
it frequently because if the idea is that they want to weight

346
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:18,000
um they want to weight the workloads that are likely in the present day more

347
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:23,360
heavily that's that makes total sense. That absolutely makes sense. Um or what

348
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:28,240
they could do is they could allow you to run it a couple different ways. So you

349
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,080
could you could run it in like um today

350
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:34,000
mode or you could run it in forwardlooking mode. As as software gets

351
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:39,200
more multi-threaded, I'm going to care more about that. I want to buy a future more I hate the f word, but a more

352
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:43,120
future proof a future proof processor. Yeah. No, I like one of the things that

353
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,520
I like about that concept is just you could even ch pick the future one

354
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:54,080
knowing that you have some use cases now that could use multicore more and just

355
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,840
be like I am a future man future man.

356
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,120
But like it's I like the idea of being able to mess with it. So you could go

357
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,240
like, "Okay, multi-core is this percentage important to me. Quad core is

358
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:06,480
this percentage important to me. Single core is this percentage." The some of the problems there is some people aren't

359
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:11,600
going to recognize how important single core is um due to a whole bunch of

360
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:17,360
reasons and other various things. But yeah, I mean it's interesting. I do

361
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:20,400
agree with multicore being downed again and I but I don't know about the 2%. I

362
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,320
don't know about 2%. That seems pretty low on the other hand. And like if

363
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:28,640
they're looking at it going, "Yeah, you know, an upcoming 32 core Threadripper

364
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,760
or wait, there's a 32 core now, isn't there?" Yeah. So, an upcoming like 64

365
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:38,000
core Threadripper or something like that for the average user's workload, no

366
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:42,400
is not going to perform, you know, 80% better, you know,

367
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:46,480
in I don't know, Far Cry 5, whatever, Battlefield 5. It's not it's not it's

368
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:52,480
not actually materially faster in workloads that most average users are

369
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,600
going to be running. Yeah. Um, no. I will restart later, computer. Wow, it's

370
00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:00,000
really annoying. You know what could be kind of fun? Yeah, benchmarking. Not

371
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:09,960
that this news matters enough to necessarily do this, but having a video where you benchmark the i9 99980 XE

372
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,960
versus the i38100.

373
00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:19,200
Just go like how does Wait, we've done that video that exact video. Not quite,

374
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:22,240
but I think we did $100 CPU versus um

375
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:24,960
what? $1,000 CPU. Okay, so close, but

376
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:31,039
we're talking 120 versus two grand, but similar. Um, very similar. Uh, let me

377
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:36,000
see if I don't remember exactly what we Oh, no. We did. It's a $600 CPU, 10

378
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:40,799
times more powerful than a $60 one. People hated that video. Why? They were

379
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,360
just mad. I don't know why they were mad. Yeah, it has like a lot of

380
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,840
dislikes. Yeah, it has like a 10% dislike ratio. I don't I don't get it.

381
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:53,039
Uh, what were people mad about? mad about.

382
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:56,880
Um, oh, some people were mad because I kept calling it a Core i7 because this

383
00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:02,320
was back when Core i9's were new and I was like, uh, that was a hard vocal

384
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:09,000
shift. I I don't blame you too much. Uh, is a $600 Linus more powerful than a $60

385
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:11,840
loop. What even are these

386
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:17,760
comments? Title is clickbait. $64 instead of 60 reported. Get over it. Um,

387
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,679
okay. You know what? Piano banana. Let's answer your question. I'm watching every

388
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:25,039
video from you for years and I have an important question you never answered.

389
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,279
What should I do when I want to share my mouse and keyboard between multiple computers at once? Wait, are they just

390
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:35,279
joking about it? Must have had like a It's got to be an ad spot. It has to be an ad spot. I'm sure you mean sponsor

391
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:39,440
spot. Oh, sorry. But yes, Spawn. There was a sponsor spot for Synergy. Oh, very

392
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:45,360
very funny. There was a lot of synergy spots at sponsor spots. Uh, we don't do

393
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:49,440
ads online as tech tips because ads might compete with Google's ad formats,

394
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,520
right? That's why we only do sponsor spots. I am so sorry, Google. I

395
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:59,679
apologize. I will take whatever punishment you

396
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,600
seem. Yeah. Go sacrifice a marshmallow

397
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:06,480
to our overlords or a piece of pie or an

398
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:09,520
Oreo. You can sacrifice them into your tummy.

399
00:28:08,159 --> 00:28:13,919
That's perfectly acceptable. So, it's it's actually good for everyone. That's

400
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,320
That's nice. Oh, the L show is also brought to you by Squarespace. Do you

411
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:03,720
like receipts or Wait, are these your cards? I put some cards in there that aren't a problem to be on camera. Oh,

412
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:08,799
that was a good idea. Yeah. Okay, cool. Uh, so having a thin wallet like this

413
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,480
encourages you to stop carrying around random bull crap. Uh, it's got two metal

414
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:16,399
plates that are bound by a strong elastic band, so it keeps your cards

415
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,120
insecurely, but you can also pop them out easily just like that. And they are

416
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,720
RFID blocking, so you don't have to worry about skimmers grabbing your card

417
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:30,159
info. They offer a lifetime guarantee. They have a money clip on the side, but

418
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:34,080
in a pinch, you could also store your Ridge wallet on your belt. Just saying.

419
00:29:32,399 --> 00:29:38,080
Just saying. Might want to be careful about where you do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they come in different types

420
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:44,720

423
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:59,360
today's WAN Show. Okay. So, there have been some epic battles. Oh, you've been

424
00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:04,159
so excited about this on YouTube over the years. Some epic battles. Oh, one

425
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:10,640
epic battle. Oh, no. We're going that direction. One epic battle was

426
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,480
between the epic rap battles characters

427
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. That truly was a a spectacular episode of epic rap

428
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:22,799
battles. More importantly, there was the epic battle between T-Series and the one

429
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,520
and only Felix Kielberg. Is that how you pronounce it? Whatever. It doesn't

430
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:30,480
matter. Pewdiepie. Okay. Pewdiepie. Yeah. You know, for top subscribed

431
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:36,120
channel now. Keyberg. I like it. We're not we're not in a position we're not in

432
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,559
a position to battle over the top most

433
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:45,840
subscribed YouTube channel of all time. Yeah. But there is a rivalry that has

434
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:52,520
actually been heating up over the last little while. And so I just want to take

435
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:56,600
this opportunity to say it.

436
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:59,000
Um, Marquez

437
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:05,120
MKBHD, I choose you. Consider yourself called out

438
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:10,279
because now people who creep YouTube stats might know this already, but most

439
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:16,720
of you probably don't. Marquez actually what four years ago

440
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:19,679
five years ago I think skyrocketed past

441
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Linus tech tips for most subscribed tech channel and then Lou actually blew past

442
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:30,480
both of us but we're not talking about that this is a race for the silver

443
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:32,000
medal second English speaking okay

444
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:38,559
technical guruji technically over 10 million subscribers second Englisheaking

445
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:43,200
tech YouTube channel across the 10 million ion subscriber mark. Marquez,

446
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,840
consider yourself called out because, and I'm sure you noticed this, man. We

447
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:51,919
actually passed you for subscribers about what was it about six months ago.

448
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:57,279
Brandon, does that sound about right? Okay. Now, with that said, the race is

449
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:04,240
going to be super interesting because Marquez actually passed us again about

450
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:07,679
two or three weeks ago. But then, check

451
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,880
this out. So, he's gaining an average of

452
00:32:07,679 --> 00:32:13,440
around 4,800 subscribers a day. Yeah.

453
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:18,960
Yeah. That was a Note 10 launch, don't. So, so he he can be very spiky, but he's

454
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:24,880
gained an average of about 4,800 subscribers a month, and he's sitting at

455
00:32:21,159 --> 00:32:26,960
9.054 million. Now, by comparison, the

456
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,880
Linus TechTips channel, 4,800 subscribers a day. A day, sorry, a day.

457
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Like 140 a month. By comparison, the Linus TechTips channel is a little

458
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:39,120
behind. We're actually about 80,000 subscribers behind, but that is not an

459
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,840
insurmountable difference when you look at our daily average, which is about

460
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:47,760
5,500. So, we can win this fight. Also, one

461
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,000
thing, a little bit of hot fire. He's uh B+ rated. You're a minus. So, yeah. So,

462
00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:55,120
Social Blade, Social Blade knows what's up right there. A minus. You like that?

463
00:32:53,679 --> 00:33:02,080
You like that A minus right there? Heck yeah. It's green. His is yellow. Just saying. Yep.

464
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,080
So

465
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:09,919
Marquez, it's on. What's up, bro? It's on. So I'm challenging Marquez to be the

466
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:13,679
next one, the next tech channel to 10 million before

467
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:18,919
us. And I'm challenging you, our community, to help help me out here,

468
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:23,559
please. Because I've we've been watching it

469
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:27,760
internally. Like, it's it's something that I don't think I've met a YouTuber.

470
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,200
They might deny it in public, but I don't think I've met a YouTuber who

471
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:38,559
doesn't creep other YouTubers on SocialBlade. We all use SocialBlade to

472
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,440
like be like, "Hey, how are other people

473
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:47,600
in the space doing?" Yeah. Um, it makes sense. So, we talk about it internally,

474
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:50,399
but now it's public. So, I really need

475
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:55,679
you guys to help me out because I am now officially out of the closet when it

476
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:57,840
comes to my YouTube stating habit. And

477
00:33:55,679 --> 00:34:03,039
uh I would like very much to not be embarrassed. So guys, share Lionus Tech

478
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:06,399
Tips with your friends and family. Uh preferably the ones that'll actually

479
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:09,919
watch because it can actually affect us negatively if people subscribe and then

480
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,359
don't watch. It makes YouTube think that like uh people subscribe and don't like

481
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:17,280
the channel because the content sucks. So like find someone who's actually

482
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:21,200
techie and make sure they subscribe. If all

483
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:24,639
7,000 of you do that today, then we can at least keep pace with him over the

484
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:30,000
last couple days cuz he's had a nice little bump from the Note 10 that I uh

485
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,919
had not anticipated necessarily before

486
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,240
conceiving of the idea of challenging him on the W show today. You should pull

487
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:41,200
in Mr. Beast and buy out all the billboards in an area, but just to troll

488
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:47,520
really hard. Buy them all out in his area so that he like drives and stuff.

489
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:49,839
So don't don't say anything because we

490
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:54,000
have some plans and I don't want you to accidentally say anything that we

491
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:59,359
actually have planned. Okay. And ruin it. Okay. Okay. So we'll talk offline.

492
00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:02,800
Sounds good. But yeah, we're we're Okay. Tell you what. Tell you what, I can't

493
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:08,000
tell you guys this unfortunately because it would really it would really ruin a

494
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:10,480
thing. But um I'm going to tell Luke and

495
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:15,040
you get to judge by his reaction. Okay. How funny this is. That picks up really

496
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:18,040
Okay. I'll be very quiet. I'll be very quiet.

497
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:29,240
Okay. I haven't even told you the funny part yet. Okay. Okay.

498
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:50,760
You should. So that's how good it's going to be. Okay. Okay. And then hold on. Hold on.

499
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:08,050
Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

500
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:11,680
This is going to be amazing.

501
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:19,200
Okay. Okay. Okay. Sorry. So, anyway, Marquez, I choose you. Um, bring it on.

502
00:36:17,839 --> 00:36:23,200
That's all I have to say about that. Oh, God. Uh if he responds with anything

503
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:28,880
anywhere near that amazing, this is going to be absolutely fantastic.

504
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:35,599
Officially best tech feud of all time. Wow. Uh because the tech feud between

505
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:38,800
AMD and Intel is officially over. Um

506
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:41,119
Intel is just not really participating

507
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,079
in the feud anymore, it seems. Uh oh wait, I didn't mean to actually share my

508
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,760
screen there. That doesn't matter. Uh, the original article here is from our

509
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:54,400
bud Patrick Kennedy over at servethehome.com and his headline pretty

510
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:58,720
much says it all. AMD Epic 70002 series

511
00:36:54,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Rome delivers a knockout.

512
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:06,079
So, if in the consumer space Whoops. So

513
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:08,640
if in the consumer space AMD got

514
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:13,359
competitive with Intel and managed to pull out ahead in given workloads,

515
00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:18,079
particularly multi-threaded workloads, because when we talk about AMD being

516
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:22,880
great for gaming with Ryzen third gen, we're talking AMD caught up to Intel and

517
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:29,119
they now like beat them a couple times, but Intel still at the top end of their

518
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:32,320
stack is the best performing CPU

519
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:35,920
strictly for gaming.

520
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:38,760
When we talk about the serverland world

521
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:44,640
place thing in the clouds, those are workloads that are

522
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:48,800
inherently heavily multi-threaded, an

523
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:51,960
area that AMD has uh cemented a firm

524
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:55,079
grasp on when it comes to performance

525
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,599
leadership. Um, and this

526
00:37:55,079 --> 00:38:01,440
is bad. So, remember that video I made a little

527
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:06,680
while back where I talked about how I can't hold tech stock um because it

528
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:11,839
would be a significant conflict of interest if I didn't feel that that was

529
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:17,520
too much of a conflict of interest. Here's the thing. I make my money

530
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:20,880
through ads and sponsorships and uh

531
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,400
merch sales um and and all all kinds of

532
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:26,240
different ways. Um, so I the way that I

533
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:31,760
look at it is like look it, I can't have my hand in every honey jar. Okay. So, so

534
00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:36,160
playing tech stocks is going to be a honey jar that I just cannot ethically

535
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:39,359
participate in. And you know what? I need to be comfortable with that because

536
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,040
I have all these other ways that I make a very good living. I'm not complaining

537
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:48,640
at all. So, I'm just be like, you know what? I'm not going to do that. But if I

538
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:53,040
had had the opportunity, I legitimately, even though I don't actually participate

539
00:38:50,480 --> 00:39:00,880
in stock trading, I would have bought so much AMD that day. And honestly, it was

540
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:02,400
not because desktop Ryzen was like going

541
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:08,880
to be competitive or whatever. That was what the word on the street was. That was what AMD was broadcasting, shouting

542
00:39:05,839 --> 00:39:12,520
from every roof rooftop that they could.

543
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:15,880
The thing that I was actually excited

544
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:19,480
about was

545
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:23,040
this. That is the epic

546
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:26,000
announcement. Wow. Okay. So, when we go

547
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:30,000
back to when was Computex? Like sometime in June. Okay. So, Computex is like

548
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,480
what? Mid June. Oh, yeah. No, this is the spike, right? Yeah. Early June. Here

549
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:39,200
we go. So, so it's actually pretty similar this kind of like downward trend

550
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:44,079
and stuff like this stuff can be all over the place, but you got to remember

551
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:50,320
when you're when you're buying a stock based on the uh the quality of the

552
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,480
product portfolio, right, and the

553
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:58,800
competitive position of the other players in the same market. We're not

554
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,880
talking about holding something for like

555
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:05,040
a month or two and going, "Okay, that was my gains. I cash out and like you

556
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:10,000
flip it and buy something else. Because the thing is for for an actual

557
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,839
competitive advantage, not just like, oh, there's a rumor of a buyout or blah

558
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:20,800
blah blah, like that kind of stuff that really causes stocks to spike and decline or like large shareholders um

559
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:24,160
dumping to artificially deflated and then buying in low or whatever. Like

560
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:28,800
like there's all kinds of things that can affect a stock. If you want to

561
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:32,440
capitalize on something real, like the actual position in the market of the

562
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:39,839
company, you need to take a longer position. And what I had an inkling of

563
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:42,960
at that time was that over the next

564
00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:46,000
couple of years, AMD was going to win

565
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:48,560
back significant market share in a

566
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:53,680
space, not gamers, guys. There's no margin in gaming chips. Like, there's a

567
00:40:50,960 --> 00:41:00,400
little bit, but come on. Not not gaming chips. I'm talking the

568
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:04,800
big stuff. I'm talking $7,000 CPUs of

569
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:09,240
which two go in one blade server of

570
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:12,640
which there are four per freaking like

571
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:16,000
like server of which there are like you

572
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,839
know 16 or 18 per freaking cabinet of

573
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:25,040
which there are a hundred in a data center. That's the big business. That's

574
00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:26,640
the big money. That's where AMD is going

575
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:30,160
to be coming back in their next quarterly earnings report, maybe not

576
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:35,040
even the next one, because after you launch a product like this, it takes a

577
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:38,400
while for those big uh requests for quotes to come in, or I think it's

578
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:46,800
actually short for request for quantity. I think it can go either way, whatever. That's where those RFQS come in. And you

579
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,280
know, you look at it, you you uh you put

580
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:53,200
together a quotation, the buyers take it, they talk to their upper management,

581
00:41:51,359 --> 00:41:56,240
blah blah blah. There's a whole process validation, but it's going to Yeah, it's

582
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:01,599
going to take a quarter or two, maybe even three, but that's where AMD's

583
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:07,520
quarterly earnings at some point in the next year are going to look like

584
00:42:05,319 --> 00:42:10,960
this. That's where it's going to spike hardcore and that's where I was looking

585
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:17,040
at it going, that's why I would want to take a position. Now, heed my warning.

586
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:21,599
Since I said that, since I made that video, AMD has already spiked

587
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:27,680
significantly. And I am not in a position where I am advising anyone to

588
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:31,119
buy or sell stocks. That is not my job.

589
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:33,480
I am not an analyst. Remember, no matter

590
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:40,319
how good things look, stuff could go wrong. Dr. Sue could die of how excited

591
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:44,880
she is about how amazing her company is performing right now. Or a fab could

592
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:49,359
have a problem. Yeah, TSMC could explode. Okay, that could actually

593
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:54,240
happen. China could get really upset. Yeah, remember remember when uh what was

594
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,839
it? Floods in Thailand that like well with that said WD and Seagate stock

595
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:03,200
actually spiked because of that because they just sold hard drives for more margin. But anyway, that's a whole other

596
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:08,240
thing. Um something I've been Yeah. Yeah. The point is stuff can go wrong.

597
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:10,160
I'm guaranteeing nothing. But, uh, this

598
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:13,839
was what I was actually amped about, but couldn't really talk about because I had

599
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:20,000
nothing concrete to go on at that time. Zen 2 is a freaking beast. I wish I had

600
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:24,640
my swear button so I could bleep myself cuz I wanted to use a different word.

601
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:26,400
Okay, so Epic 7,000. Can you Can you

602
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:31,599
show your doc for a sec? I can. Who wrote this? Uh, James. Why? We need to

603
00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:36,079
do like a word count thing for how many times AMD and Epic were typed in this.

604
00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:42,319
Well, AMD is having a pretty epic run here. just it's amaz every single line

605
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,680
AMD epic the AMD epic the AMD epic AMD

606
00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:49,160
pretty much you should read through Patrick's uh article because it's great

607
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:52,800
um but pretty much almost across the

608
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:55,440
board except at the very low end epic is

609
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:59,119
just I mean it's just crushing it I mean for a single socket we're talking 128

610
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:04,160
PCI Express lanes versus what is it it's either 46 or 56 something stupid like

611
00:44:02,319 --> 00:44:07,839
that like over double the PCI Express lane count when we're talking big data

612
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:13,839
and machine learning and stuff like that. A lot of the processing isn't done

613
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:18,400
on the CPU anymore. It's done on GPUs. So this these or not even GPUs. I mean

614
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:22,880
there's other specialized processors. Intel just released their FPGA thing.

615
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:26,720
Yeah. Like Intel themselves seems to know this. Okay. And then aside from

616
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,800
that, you need massive storage. You need PCI Express for that. Everything is PCI

617
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,800
Express now. Uh they've got way more memory bandwidth. They actually run at

618
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:40,160
faster memory speeds. DDR4 3200 versus 2933. And they've got two more channels

619
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:43,280
per chip. They completely rearchitected the way that the memory actually

620
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:47,839
connects to the CPU. And this is really cool because I was actually doing a

621
00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:52,319
video on Intel Skull Trail the other week. Remember Skull Trail? Yeah. Okay.

622
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:57,599
That was Intel's dual socket uh gaming enthusiast platform. It was eight cores

623
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:02,319
at a time when nothing had eight cores. Nope. Uh in the consumer space anyway.

624
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:07,040
And um I was blown away because I pulled up task manager and I noticed that it

625
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,319
only had one NUMA domain and I was like,

626
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:15,200
"Oh my god, it had a north bridge." So the CPUs the CPU bones

627
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:21,119
connected to the north bridge bone over the front side bus and the north bridge

628
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:24,319
bone connected to the the FB DIM memory

629
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:27,200
bone. So there's no latency penalty for

630
00:45:24,319 --> 00:45:30,400
this CPU to grab data from RAM that's connected to this CPU's integrated

631
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:34,560
memory controller because there is no integrated memory controller. Okay, but

632
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:39,440
integrated memory controller is still has a benefit over that archaic

633
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:43,440
architecture because basically having a north bridge means everybody gets a

634
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:51,560
latency hit instead of only when you have to cross into another domain. Now

635
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:54,599
with Epic second gen, AMD actually

636
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:56,440
architected effectively a more

637
00:45:54,599 --> 00:46:04,000
Northbridge like system with fewer NUMA domains

638
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,359
except it's all on it's all on chip. So

639
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:10,720
they're I forget what they call it. What's their IO hub thing that they're building into the the thing? They made

640
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:14,400
the IO die the center of the server. Blah blah blah. I forget what they

641
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,520
actually call the damn thing though. Um, sorry, you'll have to forgive me. I

642
00:46:16,079 --> 00:46:23,760
don't remember what their what their term is for it. But what this means is

643
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,440
that the best case scenario, so just

644
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:30,079
like with the north bridge, the best case scenario for memory access actually

645
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:35,200
gets a little bit worse, but the worst case scenario gets way better,

646
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:38,160
especially in dual socket configurations. What's that? I think

647
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:41,760
it's still called Numa nodes. No, no, no. The IOHub. The IOHub has a name.

648
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,560
Yeah. Yeah. I forget. I forget what it's called. Um, you know what? We can

649
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:50,079
probably You know what? Let's give Let's give Patrick's article some shout outs here. It's pretty awesome. Let's just

650
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:55,000
find it. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Oh, Patrick, you

651
00:46:53,359 --> 00:46:58,800
don't label your pages.

652
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:02,560
Dude, was to move the traditional north bridge functions, blah blah blah, etc.,

653
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:08,560
etc. Come on. You're killing me here, dude. Okay. Something something

654
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:14,160
something. I'm dying. Andy's approach is different. Integrated server controller

655
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:16,720
hub. The SCH. I think that's it. Uh, no,

656
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:20,000
that's not it. Is that it? Maybe that's it. You know what? It doesn't matter. I

657
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:24,800
don't care what they call it. The point is, the point is they have smoothed out

658
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:30,160
the latency for memory accesses. They have sped up the memory. They have more

659
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:32,720
channels. They have a 15% IPC uplift

660
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:38,880
over first gen epic, which is freaking phenomenal. They have up to a 64 core

661
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:45,200
product. I mean, we are talking Intel's dual socket servers having a difficult

662
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:50,960
time competing with AMD's single single

663
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:50,960
socket chip. And we're ignoring

664
00:47:51,319 --> 00:47:56,920
price. AMD's 64 core chip, the top spec

665
00:47:54,720 --> 00:48:04,480
one is like $7,700. A single Intel 28 core, okay,

666
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:08,240
single one is 10 grand for their topsp spec chip. Now, you're going to get

667
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:11,599
those at lower prices if you're buying in volume or blah blah blah, whatever.

668
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:14,800
But you have to assume that AMD's got discounts on offer, too, depending on

669
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:19,200
how much you're buying. The point of the matter is just that Intel is not

670
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:24,240
competitive and then their pricing is out of whack. There is basically now I

671
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,119
want to get Epic in-house here. I want to play with it. I want you guys to play

672
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:31,280
with it for like a video transcode server. Um, I'm working on it by the

673
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:37,599
way. Okay. Um, so I want to get epic in house, but as far as I can tell, outside

674
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:42,240
of some very specific use cases, like if you must have

675
00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:50,079
AVX512, which is an instruction that AMD has not implemented yet, if you must

676
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:52,319
have it, um, AMD don't got you back. But

677
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:56,720
that's about it. I was going to say for a vast majority of other stuff, AMD list

678
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:00,880
prices on competitive parts are 25 to 35% of what the compute performance

679
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:06,000
would cost to get from Intel Xeon comparables. That's compute performance

680
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:09,920
cost, not like chip for chip. Yeah. So that's actually like more important in

681
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,480
my opinion. It's savage. It's savage. We're bringing that back. It's savage.

682
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,880
We're going to like 20 to 18.

683
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:20,079
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Savage beating. It's like it's hard to watch, you know?

684
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,440
Yeah. It's hard to watch. Like Jake Paul. Yeah. Oh, equally hard to watch.

685
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:28,240
Nice. I don't know. I've never watched a Jake Paul video. It might be great. I

686
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:31,280
wouldn't know. Um, speaking of things, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know how to

687
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:34,640
get rid of Nick other than to tell you guys about the hoodie I'm wearing right

688
00:49:33,359 --> 00:49:38,000
now. That's what you want, right? Really? Oh, that's not on sale yet. Oh,

689
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:41,920
it's not? I thought they just took pictures now. Oh, okay. This is not on

690
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:46,559
sale yet. Sorry, Nick. What can I do for you? Uh, did you see the thing that

691
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:49,599
Light sent you and stuff? Oh, that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about that.

692
00:49:47,839 --> 00:49:53,280
Also, did you guys talk about how like there's a rumor that Dr. Se is going to

693
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:56,559
IBM or whatever? What? Dr. Sue might be going to IBM. Well, like there's a

694
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,920
rumor. There's a rumor. It doesn't seem very The thing that makes it more

695
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:04,880
legitimate to me is that she directly responded to it being like, "This is not

696
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:08,760
true." Which to me makes it more true. She said it's not true. Interesting.

697
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:13,880
Yeah. Uh denied a rumor. She wants to be IBM's

698
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:19,119
next chief exec. Uh that would be lame.

699
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:28,079
That just be a lame move. Anthony, we're like maybe IBM just buys AMD.

700
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:31,599
I don't know if IBM could buy AMD and retain the x86 license though. I think

701
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,319
that would be the issue. Yeah, there'd be like no value. The licensing around

702
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:39,440
that kind of stuff is crazy. Yeah. And also there would that would be a significant market consolidation because

703
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:42,720
IBM and AMD actually AMD is poised that's a really interesting thing too.

704
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:47,440
They're also poised with these massive many core CPUs, PCI Express Gen 4.

705
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:52,880
they're poised to take on IBM potentially in applications where um

706
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:58,880
firms wouldn't have to completely rearchitect because that's one of the things that IBM does so well is they

707
00:50:56,559 --> 00:51:03,599
focus on the interconnect rather than focusing on just the the performance of

708
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:07,200
their power cores. Um, so, so their their like Z series in particular is

709
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:14,400
really designed for like many many transactions and connect all the freaking things to it. And AMD is really

710
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:20,480
taking a very similar approach with x86 that Intel has largely ignored over the

711
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:22,160
last four years. So, if I was Dr. Sue, I

712
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:25,359
mean, I don't know what her executive bonus package looks like or what IBM

713
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,359
could offer her, whatever the case may be, but if I were Dr. Sue and I were

714
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:34,319
looking to leave a legacy behind, I would probably try to make it at AMD and

715
00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:40,400
just kick IBM's ass instead of joining them. Just for like a Bill and Ted level

716
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:44,480
overview of this, it's just boring. Stay at AMD. It's more fun. Yeah. It's like

717
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:49,280
it's interesting. It has made the industry so much more exciting. Exactly.

718
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:54,559
Stay. Like I was so It's way more fun. I was so bored of CPUs for a bit there.

719
00:51:51,119 --> 00:51:57,680
Yes. Like everyone was. It was like,

720
00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:59,520
God. And then Jensen's niece was like,

721
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:03,599
"Yeah." No, apparently that's false. I know. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So,

722
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:08,480
apparently that rumor about Dr. Sue being somehow related like niece or

723
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:13,200
something to No, I thought it was like second cousin. It's or it's No, I

724
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:21,040
thought it was outright false. Lisa Sue related to Jensen. Here we go. That that

725
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:21,040
autocompleted for me. Uh, let's see.

726
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:28,160
Uh, technically her grandfather is Jensen Huang's uncle. They are not

727
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:32,319
exactly niece and uncle, but relatives is what this says from 2018. I don't

728
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:35,760
know. I had people calling me out when I was talking about it. Uh, and they

729
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:40,800
confirmed her grandfather being someone's uncle. That's relatively far

730
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:46,800
detached. Second cousin once removed or some crazy Yeah. Whatever.

731
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,800
Okay. I can't find anyone. If you go far enough back, I'm probably I thought one

732
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:55,680
of them denied it, didn't they? 14th cousin, 32nd time removed. Nick and I

733
00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:59,920
are related. Yeah. All right. Whatever. Doesn't matter. Let's uh let's move on

734
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:03,839
to something pretty sick. Do you also want to see uh Oh, apparently our Twitch

735
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:07,839
title is wrong. Dang it. Whatever. Oh, what do you have? Oh, wow. Okay. Nick

736
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:11,599
wants Nick really wants me to do a merch update. Okay. I'm not that into the

737
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:16,400
suede hat. Can I show him one of the other ones for context? Uh someone was

738
00:53:13,839 --> 00:53:19,680
wearing one earlier. Uh who was it? I think I know where one is. Yeah. Okay.

739
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,920
So, we're working on a new hat for TechLink. Um, it's going to have like

740
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,880
this little metal thing in the corner and then it's either going to be like a

741
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:31,920
plain kind of suede style. What do you think of that material? It feels

742
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,440
quality. It does, but I think it's a

743
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:37,520
different kind of personality that wears a suede hat versus the other one. What's

744
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,160
that? The like you can see. Oh, well, yeah. That's just like that's a

745
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:44,160
characteristic of suede. No, but that's what I mean. That's one of the reasons why I probably wouldn't be super into

746
00:53:42,319 --> 00:53:48,640
it, though. Yeah. Um, one thing that I have as a completely outside person,

747
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:53,359
this is very trendy right now. Yeah. But I like snapbacks. You like snapbacks?

748
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:57,680
I'm that guy. But this is trendier. This is what people want as far as I know.

749
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:02,480
So, I like the heathered one. Oh, this is nice. Yeah, I really like this one

750
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:06,640
and this one actually. They look the same, but they're not quite actually.

751
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:09,520
Oh, wait. Are these ones the same? Oh. Oh, it's the pin there. There is another

752
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:14,400
color of heather that's a little lighter. I think the dark one is the one that I did. I don't normally like gold,

753
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:17,440
but against that like the gray heather, I think it looks pretty good. So, that's

754
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,559
pretty cool. That's not actually the one that I am most amped to talk about right

755
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:26,319
now, though. So, I'm going to go ahead and pop out this Hangouts window because

756
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:30,280
we are finally working on the LTT merch

757
00:54:26,319 --> 00:54:33,359
that was like Thanos inevitable.

758
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:35,200
Yes. How close are we to this? Uh, we're

759
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:38,160
it'll it'll be a while. It'll be a while. So, first should be before

760
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,920
holiday. First, there's going to be a mouse pad. So, we're actually gonna

761
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:46,000
throw this up. Uh, we're gonna pull people on this. Can I? Oh, yes, I can.

762
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:49,119
Pick a design to to tell us what designs they like best. We might do more than

763
00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:53,200
pull people by doing pre-orders. So, we're gonna do No, that's a disaster.

764
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:56,559
No, it's a bad idea. Um, so we're probably going to do a 10 key list and a

765
00:54:54,559 --> 00:55:02,000
full size size. Okay. With like a nice reasonable mousing area like this kind

766
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:03,920
of key. Okay. Um,

767
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:07,760
so we've got kind of your Okay. So, something that we've done intentionally

768
00:55:05,119 --> 00:55:10,480
is left the mousing area uh mostly blank. So, that's to make sure that we

769
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:14,960
don't have any tracking issues introduced by the graphics. Now, most modern like high-end mice won't have an

770
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:18,400
issue with that, but we want everyone to be able to use them. Here's a more

771
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:22,319
colorful version. It's kind of like winter/n northern lights kind of

772
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,440
inspired. I like um here's just like an LTT circle logo inspired one. I think

773
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:29,839
this one's a little busy personally. This is my first time actually seeing these by the way, guys. Also kind of

774
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,400
look like dongs. They they look like They do kind of look like dong. I think

775
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:37,040
we're out. That's the first thing I said. Yeah, we're out on the dong. We're out on the the black and white dong

776
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:40,400
design and probably the orange dong design, too. I Yeah. Uh, we could just

777
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:44,880
do something a little bit more abstract like this. This is dead on arrival.

778
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:48,799
Yeah. Um, here's Oh, the Techl one actually looks really good. Yeah, I like

779
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:52,960
that. That one's That one's sharp, actually. The Techl branding lends

780
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:58,960
itself really well to like clean, cool designs. Yeah. Um, and yeah, I'm going

781
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:04,440
to throw out all my socks and buy a bunch of these. It is inevitable. It was

782
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:08,640
going to happen. Also, uh I don't know if you guys can

783
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:14,559
see this, but yes, confirmed. We are working on a

784
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:17,280
sandal. Okay. Can I petition? I don't know anything about what you guys are

785
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:21,520
doing. Long term. Way long. Yeah. It's going to be a while, guys. Like, you'll

786
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:25,520
be wearing these sandals next summer. Okay. Maybe. Maybe. I mean, if it makes

787
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:31,119
it by then, I'm happy. Everything If everything goes according to plan, you will wear them next summer. You guys now

788
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:35,200
need second layer bottoms. So like not underwear bottoms because then if you do

789
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:39,119
that with this you'll have everything. So I actually you don't want but that

790
00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:42,720
would be everything. I just killed that project. But that would be everything.

791
00:56:41,119 --> 00:56:46,000
Okay. Here's the I didn't Well, yeah. It was like a You could be 100% LT. Okay.

792
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:52,720
All right. All right. All right. Chill out for a second here. Chill out for a second here. So pants are really tough.

793
00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:55,760
Sizing is really challenging. Not like jeans. You got to hold on. Even then,

794
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,359
you got to accommodate all the different waist sizes, all the different leg

795
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:05,359
lengths, and all the combinations thereof. Okay? So, there's a huge like

796
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:09,440
front-loaded investment to bring in all these different sizes. Um, that assumes

797
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:13,680
that you can even figure out, you know, how to make the clothing fit nicely with

798
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:20,640
all these different body shapes and types. Pants are hard. Number two, what

799
00:57:17,119 --> 00:57:22,799
kind of pants? Because jeans basically

800
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:27,119
you're not going to take on I don't know what a popular jean brand is. Levi.

801
00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:33,839
Sure. You're not going to take on Levis's Gar. Um Jeno Jeno or whatever they're

802
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:38,240
called. The pitch that I got the pitch that I got was

803
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:41,839
joggers. I was just thinking sweatpants. I don't

804
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,760
think I They're the same thing. They're basically very similar. Joggers are

805
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:53,520
pretty much trendy sweatpants. And the thing is, I didn't actually kill the project

806
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,480
so much as I put it on indefinite hiatus

807
00:57:53,520 --> 00:58:00,640
because um see the thing is, okay, so the reason

808
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:06,640
that I put it on indefinite hiatus is that from a um from like a a a being

809
00:58:04,319 --> 00:58:10,480
excited about the merch standpoint, I don't wear sweatpants and I don't wear

810
00:58:09,119 --> 00:58:15,200
joggers. Those are probably closer to joggers than they are to sweatpants, honestly. The Dream Hack ones. Oh, yeah.

811
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:19,839
Yeah. They're very joggery sweatpants. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like they're more fitted and stuff. They're not just like

812
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:25,119
I'm sick today. Yeah. Those are those are those are probably basically those are basically like gray athletic. I

813
00:58:23,119 --> 00:58:31,280
would basic Yeah, I would basically want something that isn't I'm sick today

814
00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:33,359
pants but isn't jeans like Okay. I don't

815
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:37,839
know fashion, but yeah, something you could wear out, but we're not trying to

816
00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:42,079
compete with jeans. So, um uh what's her

817
00:58:37,839 --> 00:58:44,640
what's her name again? the uh um the mom

818
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:48,480
of all the the famous Kardashian people, Chris Jenner. So, believe it or not, it

819
00:58:46,799 --> 00:58:53,480
was actually after a presentation from Chris Jenner of all people where she was

820
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:59,040
talking about how how they decide on which business

821
00:58:56,559 --> 00:59:03,920
opportunities to pursue because, okay, when you're the Kardashian/Jenner clan,

822
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:08,880
you have basically an endless supply of people pitching you on endorsing their

823
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:13,599
product or branding your whatever blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. and she

824
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:17,440
went, "One of the most important things for us was to focus on what we're

825
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:21,119
passionate about because then you will never get bored of it." What's up? You

826
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:24,480
don't wear hats. I actually don't I actually do wear hats. Very rarely. I

827
00:59:23,119 --> 00:59:27,680
used to wear a hat every day. Okay, that's fair. So, I actually like I can

828
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:32,160
understand the hat and when I go out on the weekend and I'm like out in the sun, I will I will take my hat. I do wear my

829
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:37,119
hat. Do you remember when you used to wear them all the all the time? So, um

830
00:59:35,119 --> 00:59:40,960
So, and besides the hat project was actually already complete when I

831
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:47,280
attended that workshop. So it anyway. Okay. The reason that I killed the

832
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:48,880
joggers and fasttracked socks. Oh no,

833
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:52,480
I'm cool with mouse pad. I just wanted to eventually happen. More colors of

834
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:56,640
water bottle. It'll eventually happen. So what I told Lloyd and Nick, do you

835
00:59:54,559 --> 00:59:59,760
want more colors of water? Sorry. Do you want more colors of water bottle to

836
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,720
show? Uh, no. That's okay. So what I told Nick and Lloyd was, we're going to

837
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:08,640
do it, but we're going to do it after we've explored the things that I'm like

838
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:12,880
really excited about and passionate about. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's cool. I

839
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:16,960
don't care if it happens in 2025. I just want to eventually be able to walk out

840
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:21,440
of the door wearing purely LT gear. I hate it when the ice breaks free. But

841
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:26,000
the fancy new jacket takes the brunt of the blow and it wicks right off. It does

842
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:29,359
actually. This is not actually a jacket though. Okay. Can you get the

843
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:35,680
terminology right? I'm sorry. Okay. This is the swacket. What?

844
01:00:33,359 --> 01:00:40,880
SWAT jacket. Sweater jacket. Sweater jacket. Okay. Okay. Okay. So feel the

845
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:45,920
material here. Okay. Okay. It's kind of like athletic sweater. Okay. Feel the

846
01:00:42,799 --> 01:00:48,240
material here. Definitely jacket. It's a

847
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,599
swack. Athletic sweater between the So you can still get soaked while only

848
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:56,880
getting a little bit soaked. It's a swacket. Okay. And it also has like more

849
01:00:54,559 --> 01:01:01,599
more like out at night features like this is reflective which is actually

850
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:06,880
reflective strip on front and back. That's cool. Um, and I will also say it

851
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:10,480
hit the sweater part of the sweater jacket combo and still wicked off. So my

852
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:14,319
joke about getting soaked is not actually. So it's it's designed to be a

853
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:17,440
little bit shoutier than stealth hoodie. It is a bit more expensive. I think it's

854
01:01:15,839 --> 01:01:22,960
going to be about $30. It's like particularly not stealthy, but it's YKK

855
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:27,200
zipper. The material quality is really different. Like it's higher. Um, not

856
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:32,799
that stealth is bad, just that this costs more. Um, and it retains one of

857
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:34,720
the uh key features of Stealth, which is

858
01:01:32,799 --> 01:01:40,000
of course the secure phone pocket. I'm just gonna throw in there really quick. The the material on the Stealth hoodie

859
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:42,799
is actually like particularly nice. Um, we've had a complaint that I don't think

860
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,720
is going to get solved, but Brad from UFD Techch was like, "Dude, I'm left-handed." I know. I watched the

861
01:01:45,599 --> 01:01:52,960
video. I don't think there's any solution to that really. I mean, we could do like a oneoff for him, but

862
01:01:50,799 --> 01:01:58,240
other than that, no, we don't plan to do like a probably freak

863
01:01:55,400 --> 01:02:01,599
out. Is that possible? I mean, anything's possible. Is that doable?

864
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:06,480
Like, they are actually working on an order of stealth right now. Is it

865
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:10,720
possible to What size is UFD? I don't. Medium. Medium. Is he a medium? I could

866
01:02:08,799 --> 01:02:14,160
see if we could get him a lefty one. Okay. C Can you see what you can do?

867
01:02:12,319 --> 01:02:18,559
I'll see. All right. And we're not doing this for any guys. We're not We are not

868
01:02:16,319 --> 01:02:22,880
doing a left-handed skew because it's it's just another it's a nightmare. It's

869
01:02:20,799 --> 01:02:26,640
another inventory item to manage. We're not It sucks. You can go like this or

870
01:02:25,119 --> 01:02:31,839
you can pass it to your right hand. Yeah, but but it's totally possible. UFD

871
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:36,480
has pimped our merch so hard that just

872
01:02:31,839 --> 01:02:38,559
for him we will we will try. Yeah, I'm

873
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:41,839
not promising anything. So anyway, uh we've got a bunch of different sandal

874
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:45,200
designs to look at. Some of them are immediately off because anything you

875
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:49,599
can't run in like this, you're done. You're done. It's out. My biggest thing

876
01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:52,240
is you have to like it and want to wear

877
01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:57,119
it like a lot. So, well, there are key considerations for me. Like, I do I do

878
01:02:55,359 --> 01:03:01,520
expect even though I'm wearing sandals to be able to run in them. Yeah. And so,

879
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:04,640
it has to be a design that straps for your for your video where it was I think

880
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:09,119
it was Taran where you where you had like a battle with him about the the the

881
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:13,200
pros and cons of sandals versus shoes that I know, but this sandal needs to

882
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:16,640
win that. Yes. You know what I mean? So, it has to have everything that is good

883
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:20,880
about a shoe. Some of these designs actually look kind of sharp. I think

884
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:24,240
that's mainly just sock designs, is it? Well, it's not like the sandals stuff is

885
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:29,359
like by accident. And we should absolutely coordinate the sock design with the sandals, which is I think why

886
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:32,799
he provided it this way. But some of this is some of this is looking pretty I

887
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:36,319
like this one actually. I think this looks pretty good. So my question about

888
01:03:34,319 --> 01:03:40,880
the whole like Chris Jenner stuff is like, yeah, where does the kimono fall

889
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:43,839
in that? I have no idea. I don't actually pay any attention to their

890
01:03:42,319 --> 01:03:48,880
merch crap. So do you know what the kimono is? No. It's Spanx with an extra

891
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:53,440
scooping of cultural appropriation. I don't know what Spanx are. Do you not

892
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:57,599
know what Spanx are? No. It's like those like Why would we know this crap? Like

893
01:03:55,839 --> 01:04:04,240
why do you know this crap? Like not leggings, but like under garments to

894
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:08,039
like tuck all the fat bits in. Oh, okay.

895
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,039
Maybe I should know that.

896
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:14,480
She called it a kimono and then cuz

897
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:18,400
she's Kim and then everyone got upset. I actually give beyond the excellent

898
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:22,880
message that was in part of that talk about business. I give so few cares

899
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:26,240
about the actual content and products over there. I've had a I've had a minor

900
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:30,480
I might be one of the people that buys a whole bunch of element shirts to expand

901
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:34,799
their clothing because we I had my dad over last night. Yeah, that was epic. I

902
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:39,520
I had my dad over last night to look into a plumbing issue at my house and we figured out that the hot and cold water

903
01:04:37,599 --> 01:04:42,640
is unreliable because when they plumbed the apartment building that I'm in, they

904
01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:46,720
run the cold water right next to the hot water and it heats up the other pipe.

905
01:04:45,119 --> 01:04:50,319
So, we've when I've been washing my clothes, they've all been shrinking. So,

906
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:53,280
all my shirts are effectively larges now and they're supposed to be extraarges.

907
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:57,760
So, I've like lost weight but look heavier which is sweet. It's really

908
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:02,240
cool. So, what are the other considerations for the sandal?

909
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:08,000
Durability. I can smell this sandals. I'm sorry. It's okay.

910
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:11,520
Sandals always fail in the same spots.

911
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:12,960
Okay, that makes sense. Here. Yeah. Uh

912
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:17,839
there's just like a hand. You got less stuff holding on. Yeah. There's a handful of spots that they fail. You can

913
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:22,960
see this is totally detached here. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, how long have you had

914
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:27,200
that though? I expect a long lifetime out of my sandals. Yeah. No, because I

915
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:31,039
think this is the like second or third pair since I've known you. Uh no, it's

916
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:34,960
probably like number four. Okay. Yeah. So I do like one every one and a half

917
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,520
years or so. And that's not bad. It depends on when they fail. No, I think

918
01:05:36,319 --> 01:05:41,839
that's I think that's pretty reasonable. So if we can if we can get to that kind

919
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:47,520
of level of quality and remember I wear them every day like this. These are my

920
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:50,079
everyday carry. Um

921
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:53,760
everyday straps weaponized sandals. Yeah. Which mouse pads did we like? So

922
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:56,640
Oh, which mouse pads do we like? Uh I can't figure out how to get back to the

923
01:05:55,119 --> 01:06:01,760
mouse pads. I can't close this for some reason. So I don't know. Like escape

924
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:04,240
isn't working. I can't Oh, wait. Oh, are you guys doing a feedback thing? You

925
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:08,400
guys doing a straw poll or some other kind of I think they're different files. I think we're gonna put it on Twitter.

926
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:12,480
Yeah. No, I know they're different files. I just I can't close this. I I

927
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:20,559
don't know. I don't know how to close it. Oh, wait. I know what the problem is. It's a separate tab. There's Well,

928
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:22,079
there's your problem. Uh, all right. So,

929
01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:27,440
yeah, I don't I don't want to look at that right now. I want to look at the socks. Okay.

930
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:32,640
So, I like this one. What do you think, Luke? I like the top left one. Yeah, I

931
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:35,440
like a little bit of color in my socks personally. But what about doing like a

932
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:40,799
different color? We don't have to be married to orange.

933
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:42,880
I like orange.

934
01:06:40,799 --> 01:06:46,400
I like also go like stealth sock. Are you guys doing one? We don't know yet.

935
01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:52,240
It's going to really depend on minimum order quantities. We found uh a supplier

936
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:54,079
who seems like freaking legit. Like they

937
01:06:52,240 --> 01:07:01,280
make socks for brands that I've heard of, which is cool. Um, and like not

938
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:03,119
Hannes, like like brands that make like

939
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:07,680
high-end hiking socks and stuff that I have heard of. And I was like, "Okay,

940
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:09,760
cool." Okay. Um, so we found like a

941
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:14,799
really good factory, we think. Um, but their minimum order quantities are like

942
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:18,640
3,500 pairs, stuff like that. Like really, really high per size or in

943
01:07:16,559 --> 01:07:22,799
total? Like dangerously high. Like like per I actually Oh, lordy. I don't know.

944
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:28,160
Because I was talking to Jonno about this before the show and if you guys are vetting as well as you've vetted for

945
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:33,599
everything else that's on the store so far, I'm probably just going to throw all my socks away and get these. And I'm

946
01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:38,880
not exaggerating. We're going to do our best, but making a like a sock that

947
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:42,799
would satisfy me, which is what it has to be, is not going to be easy and might

948
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:47,680
even take longer than the sandal. Yeah. So, but that's but that is why I'm

949
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:51,760
probably going to do that. So, you know, the minimum quantity thing. Maybe I'm

950
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:55,760
gonna make you start buying merch at some point. I Well, I know. Okay. I'm

951
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:59,520
gonna have to cuz like I can't just give you your entire wardrobe for free. You

952
01:07:58,079 --> 01:08:03,599
actually don't work here anymore. I was fully expecting to buy all of that. I'm

953
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,799
being very clear about this. The I'm probably going to do an underwear swap

954
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:10,720
at one point in time. I've kind of decided that you're not the only one. We

955
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:14,640
have gotten so many orders for specifically like two packs of

956
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:18,799
underwear, which is like nobody orders two packs on their first order. That's

957
01:08:16,480 --> 01:08:23,920
cuz they already have a pack. Yeah. And like three is laundry once a week with a

958
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:29,279
buffer. Yeah. It's gotten to the point where I get a little bit annoyed when my

959
01:08:26,799 --> 01:08:33,440
LTT underwear are not clean cuz then I'm like now I have to wear some other junk.

960
01:08:31,839 --> 01:08:37,120
I'm just like that sucks. Can't put other junk on your junk. No. Exactly.

961
01:08:35,759 --> 01:08:44,239
All right. Do we have any more topics for today? Uh there's some stuff. Oh

962
01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:46,880
yeah. Apple is locking iPhone batteries

963
01:08:44,239 --> 01:08:51,600
to the phone. Uh so the original article here is from iix it. So Apple has

964
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:56,880
announced that only Apple batteries can go in iPhones and furthermore only Apple

965
01:08:54,880 --> 01:09:00,799
may install them. RC mail posted this on the forum. So if you replace your

966
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:05,440
battery in the newest iPhones, so the 10S, the 10S Max, and the 10R, a message

967
01:09:03,839 --> 01:09:09,759
indicating that you need to service your battery appears in settings, battery

968
01:09:07,839 --> 01:09:13,279
next to battery health. This service message is normally an indication that

969
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:17,359
the battery is degraded and needs to be replaced. However, even if you put in a

970
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:21,920
brand new battery, a firstparty Apple battery, you take two iPhone 10S's and

971
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:26,400
swap their batteries, they will both display the

972
01:09:23,719 --> 01:09:31,440
error. That is, unless an Apple Genius or an Apple authorized service provider

973
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:34,480
authenticates a battery to the phone, that phone will never show its battery

974
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:38,159
health and will always report this vague, ominous problem. So, the way it

975
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:41,440
works is that there's a Texas Instruments microcontroller on the

976
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:44,960
battery that provides information to the phone like capacity, temperature, and

977
01:09:43,440 --> 01:09:49,839
how much time until it fully discharges. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. As far as I I don't know of a

978
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:55,280
phone that doesn't have that feature. I mean, Apples is a little bit custom, but like uh basically the thing that has

979
01:09:53,839 --> 01:10:00,400
changed now is that the chips in the newer iPhone batteries include an authentication feature that stores the

980
01:09:58,480 --> 01:10:04,400
info for pairing the battery to the iPhone's logic board. If the battery

981
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,719
doesn't have the unique authentication key the iPhone's logic board is

982
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:13,040
expecting, you'll get the service message. So, I wonder yeah, if anyone

983
01:10:11,679 --> 01:10:16,960
could figure it out and if it would be even remotely worth it to swap the

984
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:20,800
microcontrollers. Uh, apparently yes, that would work. Yeah. Um, it's

985
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:24,880
extremely difficult, but that's what I mean. It's more work than it's basically

986
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:32,000
because and this is something that is sort of um I guess a saving grace of

987
01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:35,199
this move. um other than giving you that

988
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:37,360
message, it doesn't have an effect. So,

989
01:10:35,199 --> 01:10:41,199
you know how if your battery is degraded past a certain lifespan, um Apple can

990
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:45,040
throttle the performance because it can't deliver the peak um power that

991
01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:50,239
that that the phone needs in order to perform its best or whatever. Um

992
01:10:48,239 --> 01:10:55,280
Apple's degraded message here doesn't force the phone into that mode or

993
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:58,239
anything like that for now.

994
01:10:55,280 --> 01:11:03,280
Hold on. It just says degraded and otherwise the phone operates normally.

995
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:06,159
Okay. The problem, as you ruined my

996
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:12,400
transition to, is that this is yet another bloody slippery slope for Apple

997
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:14,239
to lock down their devices even further

998
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:20,400
so that nobody without Apple's permission is allowed to open a device

999
01:11:15,679 --> 01:11:23,280
and service a device that you own. Even

1000
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:28,400
Tesla is improving in this regard. And like they do not have a good track

1001
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:30,159
record. No.

1002
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:36,560
So I don't really have anything else to say about that. Like I do I understand

1003
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:39,760
Apple's point to a degree. Um you know

1004
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:43,360
every time an iPhone blows up, it makes

1005
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:45,679
the news. Apple doesn't want that. And

1006
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:49,920
if they could, you know, look back at some telemetry data that shows that that

1007
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:54,080
phone was giving a message to their owner that the battery needs to frigin

1008
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:56,960
be serviced and be like, "Well, that wasn't the battery we put in there."

1009
01:11:55,760 --> 01:12:04,360
That would be very nice. That would be very nice for them. I'm very conflicted on Apple right now because I kind of

1010
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:06,560
really want an iPhone as my daily driver

1011
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:09,280
because it would be very nice for security reasons and the sign in with

1012
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,640
Apple stuff that's coming and all that kind of stuff is really cool. On the other hand, do you know how much a

1013
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:19,360
battery swap by Apple costs? Exactly. Right. Yeah. So, there's like there's

1014
01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:24,640
the like I really like privacy things and I really like right to repair and

1015
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:29,040
right now they're not going together at all. Yeah. And that's pretty

1016
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:31,679
frustrating. That being said, how many times have you had a battery swap in a

1017
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:36,159
phone that you actually Well, that you're a bad person to ask for this. Uh,

1018
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:40,159
no. Go ahead. Ask me. How many times have you had a battery swap on a phone

1019
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:43,199
that is your personal daily driver? Oh, yeah. No, because I know you've had them

1020
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:46,239
for like the security phones and stuff, but that doesn't really Yeah. No, no,

1021
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:49,760
like I've done phone battery swaps, but I change phones so often. You know, the

1022
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:54,400
Note 9 might be my first one based on how the Note 10 looks. Cuz I'm not

1023
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:58,159
upgrading to it. Can we do a quick straw poll? Sure. I want to use the new

1024
01:12:56,320 --> 01:13:02,000
polling service, but it's not ready yet. Sure. Hit me. Hit me with that straw

1025
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:07,199
pull. What do you What do you want to know, Luke? What do you want to know?

1026
01:13:04,719 --> 01:13:10,000
Should it be like more than once? Can we assume that getting a battery swapped

1027
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:14,480
one time in a phone is not that big of a deal? Sure. Is that fair? Yeah. So, have

1028
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:18,719
you had your battery swapped in your phone more than once? Yes or no? Sure.

1029
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:31,800
Okay. Okay. Yes.

1030
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:37,280
No. And then these types of polls have a

1031
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:40,719
tendency for people to only answer if

1032
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:42,880
they're in the upset category. So I want

1033
01:13:40,719 --> 01:13:47,440
you to answer this. Yeah. No matter what. Yeah. Okay. Hit me with that poll.

1034
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,600
I'm dropping it in YouTube. You're dropping it in that

1035
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:54,400
YouTube. Good job. Are you going to drop it in that Floatplane? Oh, you don't

1036
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:59,760
have the Floatplane stream up. You know what? I'll do a couple super chats while we wait. It's already up. Floatplane is

1037
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:04,880
fast. Statwick Kumar. have my free money. Uh oh, thank you. Uh Stephen

1038
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:08,239
Ellswick, hey from someone deployed overseas, love your channel having your

1039
01:14:06,719 --> 01:14:13,760
content to watch after a long day or relax and go Floatplane. Um you know

1040
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:18,719
that if you give us a tip on YouTube, they take a bunch of the money and if

1041
01:14:15,199 --> 01:14:19,840
you do it on YouTube, um uh Floatplane

1042
01:14:18,719 --> 01:14:27,679
takes a bunch of the money, which is good. Um I mean, thank you. Thank you.

1043
01:14:24,719 --> 01:14:31,120
Appreciate it. Um you know what's really funny? We have had some people, we

1044
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:33,600
actually need a tip feature because this is probably an additional tip. He's

1045
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:38,320
probably subscribed on Flow Plan already. We do. We do need a tip feature. We have had people that have

1046
01:14:36,239 --> 01:14:41,679
contacted us asking to pay the higher tier.

1047
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:44,159
Really? That's why I had you update the description being like, "Hey, you get

1048
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:49,040
all the same things." And then we had some people be like, "Yeah, no, I just

1049
01:14:46,239 --> 01:14:52,480
want to pay more." Like, well, when is 4K going to be ready? Okay. Pretty soon,

1050
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:56,640
actually. Okay. Well, we can roll out a 4K option. That'd be pretty sweet. And

1051
01:14:54,400 --> 01:15:00,480
then I actually do we have uh do we have a feature yet to like quickly export

1052
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:05,280
like people's emails if they want to be on like a special mailing list or like whatever like when are text posts

1053
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:10,960
coming? When are all the features coming Luke? Um the the uh the the the user

1054
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:14,640
list export thing. Yes. Is something that was brought up very recently by

1055
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:18,960
Eboss Vox. I'm sure it was and is not currently roadmapped but is interesting

1056
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:22,320
interesting. We're currently trying to like fix some things now that we've

1057
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:26,239
onboarded some creators. some more problems have surfaced because we haven't onboarded creators in forever.

1058
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:31,199
So, we're trying to like smooth those over and then keep moving forward. Okay,

1059
01:15:28,719 --> 01:15:33,760
I'm posting the link to Twitch. Twitch got ignored for a little bit. Can you

1060
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:41,679
guys do a show about trying to get FreeSync working on a G-Sync monitor?

1061
01:15:37,199 --> 01:15:45,760
Uh, we could. I actually don't know. Um,

1062
01:15:41,679 --> 01:15:47,679
I don't know if you can do that because

1063
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:51,920
variable refresh rate, like that implementation of variable refresh rate

1064
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:55,840
from Freync may specifically not be supported by NVIDIA Scaler, which is

1065
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:58,719
like a hardware piece in the monitor. I I I don't know. The answer is I don't

1066
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:03,120
know. So, I might have said something dumb just there, but it wasn't my fault,

1067
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:07,760
or at least wasn't my intention. All right, let's have a look at our straw pull results. Have you had your battery

1068
01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:12,560
swapped in your phone more than once? Wow. So, not many people actually. No.

1069
01:16:10,159 --> 01:16:18,159
And this is from an enthusiast crowd. So you are you okay? So okay, hold on a

1070
01:16:15,679 --> 01:16:21,120
second here. So are you suggesting then actually I have a couple of different

1071
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:27,120
angles here. So are you suggesting that we should just treat a battery swap once

1072
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:28,880
every 3 to four years as part of device

1073
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:33,920
maintenance and then after that the phone has probably exceeded its usable

1074
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:37,360
lifespan anyway. So off to the recycler

1075
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:39,760
basically. Okay, let me suggest that our

1076
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:43,040
enthusiast crowd may have actually swayed this poll the opposite way you

1077
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:47,480
might think. Ah, cuz they're buying devices more. Cuz they're probably buying devices more often.

1078
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:54,560
Interesting. This is part of the problem with like pulling you guys. Yeah.

1079
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:58,000
Or any like specific crowd. We need we need like a wider net. That's

1080
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:04,719
interesting. That might actually be very true. I don't know because I I

1081
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:08,000
know I think the only person in my

1082
01:17:04,719 --> 01:17:09,520
personal life that isn't me or you

1083
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:14,800
that's gotten their phone serviced or has worked on their phone to the point of taking it apart and swapping things

1084
01:17:12,719 --> 01:17:19,920
that wasn't like the hot swap removable batteries from back in the day. Um is

1085
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:23,120
like one of my parents and that's it right. So like I I don't know of that

1086
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:30,719
many people that do it but that's also an extremely narrow scope so that doesn't help either. I don't know. Um,

1087
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:36,080
ultimate fails. Any plan to make a left phone pocket stealth hoodie? Oh, wow.

1088
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:39,840
We covered that. Uh, Ethan, uh, free speech laws in the US are sticky. Some

1089
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:42,320
speech becomes an action. For example, death threats are illegal regardless of

1090
01:17:41,199 --> 01:17:46,000
how they're conveyed. Yep, that's a good point. We did bring this up. Um, Ilia,

1091
01:17:44,480 --> 01:17:51,520
hey guys, before LTX, you promised to host the next W show wearing only underwear, including bras. Did you lie?

1092
01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:55,840
We didn't lie. We forgot. And we also didn't promise, but I forgot. I totally

1093
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:58,800
am down to do that. Okay. Uh, well, you don't have to. It's fine. Win config.

1094
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:05,520
Today we learned Lionus is mostly libertarian regarding speech at least.

1095
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:08,920
Um, here's the thing. Labels are bad.

1096
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:11,920
Yeah, labels do not promote independent

1097
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:14,239
thought. So, no, I would never call

1098
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:17,840
myself a libertarian. I would never call myself a conservative. I would never

1099
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:21,360
call myself a liberal. I would never call myself right-wing, leftwing, or

1100
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:25,760
even centrist. Someone's going to grab one of those. Yeah, I know, right? And

1101
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:30,280
then use it against you. I would never say that Hitler was No, I'm just

1102
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:37,360
Okay, that that clip of me doesn't Now someone's I know. Yeah, I know. But if

1103
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:42,719
it didn't, someone would just deep fake the rest of it on. I know, right? Um, so

1104
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:47,840
anyway, I would never use a label to describe myself because a label does not

1105
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:52,040
adequately convey the thoughts that I

1106
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:55,440
have about these kinds of complex issues

1107
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:57,360
there. And they shouldn't for you either

1108
01:18:55,440 --> 01:19:02,800
because just because the other libertarians think something doesn't

1109
01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:06,560
mean that you should. Not every personal

1110
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:08,000
liberty makes sense. Some of them do,

1111
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:13,520
but you have to actually think critically about whether things are a

1112
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,640
good idea. Um, yeah, David says,

1113
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,640
"Depending on if you're talking about free speech as the first amendment protection or free speech as a concept,

1114
01:19:17,440 --> 01:19:26,080
because there's a distinction there." That is correct. But either way, um,

1115
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:27,440
what I said stands. Um, nope. Says you

1116
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:32,800
should collab with mighty car mods. That would actually be sick. Yeah. Thomas

1117
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:35,120
says, "Name your upload time and beats."

1118
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:40,400
Um, really cool. NB67, any chance of purchasing a Floatplane t-shirt? Um,

1119
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:43,920
uh, we don't have plans for that right now, but it is something that we've

1120
01:19:41,679 --> 01:19:50,080
given some thought to. Yeah. Quadro says, "Just replaced my GTX 780. Willing

1121
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:54,320
to sell it to Lionus for $500. Great deal. I bought it new for 650. Have

1122
01:19:52,159 --> 01:20:00,719
original box and receipt. Can't hold it for long. GPUs are hot right

1123
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:04,880
now." I think that message took about a

1124
01:20:00,719 --> 01:20:04,880
year and a half to come through to us.

1125
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:12,320
Spaghetti BVO, I'm auctioning the domain

1126
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:15,920
plainflat.com on GoDaddy. Yeah, he's been bugging me about that. Good luck

1127
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:20,080
with that. We have no interest. Have fun, dude. Uh, Sarah, thanks for the

1128
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:23,040
money. How to overclock a laptop i7. You need to have an overclockable laptop and

1129
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:29,679
then you need to press the overclocking button in most cases. Um,

1130
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:30,640
Captain Captain Nano, Captain, I don't

1131
01:20:29,679 --> 01:20:36,880
know what you're talking about. Can't sleep. Take my sleepd deprived money.

1132
01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:39,360
Okay, sure. Uh Sean says, "Unsubscribing

1133
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:44,480
from MKBHD, not my real dad." No, don't do that. This is all about more

1134
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:47,120
subscribers for LT, not less for Marquez

1135
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:51,440
because Marquez is a cool dude. Um IQ Solutions reached out to my communities

1136
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:54,400
for you. Keep it up. Awesome. Val says, "Bought merch in April to be shipped to

1137
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:58,960
Singapore back in April. Hasn't arrived. Support has been scarce uh because of

1138
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:03,280
the wind up to LTX." Okay. Yes, email support again. we will get it taken care

1139
01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:05,120
of. If not, PM me on the forum. Um, actually, PM Nick. Don't PM me. I get

1140
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:10,000
too many P D P D P D P D P D P D P D P D P D P D Lego man says, "I'm watching while wearing one of my new element

1141
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:15,679
shirts I bought on last show." Yeah. Okay, so that's a case where we did ship it out quickly. Yay. Uh Megan says,

1142
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:20,080
"Luke laughs at everything. Tell us. I can't. I'm sorry." Oh, how about a hat

1143
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:24,159
or mouse pad for float? Okay, we don't have a plan for float. Make more float

1144
01:21:21,679 --> 01:21:30,480
plane gear, says Megan again. Okay. Lwood says, "LTT swimwear when?" LT kids

1145
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:32,239
wear when my son every time I bring home

1146
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:36,520
a new merch item he's like daddy is there one in kids size yet? I'm like oh

1147
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:42,320
kid no what am I sorry Blizzard makes baby

1148
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:46,719
gear. Do they really? Yeah of course they do. They're Blizzard. Yeah. Um why

1149
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:50,560
not one phone pocket on each side? We actually like the symmetrical or the

1150
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:54,560
asymmetrical look. I'm sorry. It was it was a style decision. I'm sorry. I'm not

1151
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:59,679
exactly a style expert. Probably costs more money. I liked it. Not much. It's

1152
01:21:56,480 --> 01:22:01,520
It's a style decision. Okay. Um

1153
01:21:59,679 --> 01:22:05,520
Oh, Reggie says, "Just wanted to give some support for getting the epic news

1154
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:09,440
in there." Yeah, it's a big deal. Uh, joggers are running shoes. Do shorts

1155
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:12,960
instead. No, no joggers or pants, but depends where you're from. You might be from like the UK or something. Oh,

1156
01:22:11,679 --> 01:22:21,880
you're from Australia. Okay. Well, that explains the lingo difference. Um, okay.

1157
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:25,360
I think that's all we have time for

1158
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:26,880
today. Oh, okay. Nicholas says, "I carry

1159
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:34,800
two replacement batteries to swap on business trips." Right. But you are an edge case and you know you're an edge

1160
01:22:30,719 --> 01:22:36,719
case, so cut it out. Um, all right. So,

1161
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:41,199
that's it for the WAN Show this week. See you again next week. Same bad time,

1162
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:45,920
same bad channel. Except not. I'm out next week. I'm on vacation. Same time on

1163
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:49,679
the same channel anyways. I'm on vacay. But I'm not going to see you again next

1164
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:53,199
week. Same bad time. Same bad channel. But he will. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you're not

1165
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:58,230
on vacation. I don't know who's going to be there with me, but someone will.

1166
01:22:55,280 --> 01:23:01,350
Probably not physically. Bye bye.

1167
01:23:02,159 --> 01:23:07,480
That was a good show today. Yeah, I had fun. Yeah.

1168
01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:17,560
Oh, lordy. Did we not update the Floatplane title either? Dang it, Luke. Oh,

1169
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:23,440
yeah. We got that one. Twitch is twitch

1170
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:23,440
now. Oh. Brought to you by Squash Mast.
