welcome to the wen show ladies and gentlemen it's pre-recorded this week
because we have no idea what's going on
not a clue we're having a tremendous afternoon the
craziest thing about today is that we actually pressed go for the
first time on time oh yeah
and i don't remember the last time that happened it's been a while and then
after 35 minutes of trying different restreaming services swapping Ethernet
cables changing encoding settings um we
just we we can't we can't push any more notifications to youtube because youtube
won't deliver them to you and um we just we have no choice we have
no choice there's nothing that we can do oh my goodness please tell me that this
isn't live uh okay i'm just yep cool i'm just gonna
set these unlisted and i'm just gonna call them broken stream
broken streams broken dreams they're
perfect all of them best title best titles 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10 viral
hit yeah oh yeah um this is the new cat video yeah there's just there's nothing
i can do about this at this point
we do have uh for when you guys do see this good oh good the last one just went
published went public on the channel
brilliant i love it thank you thank you youtube
i appreciate this don't know what's going wrong uh it's great because the
youtube diagnostic was green oh yeah it's like everything's fine dream health
was green oh don't worry about it obs all green everything green yep um no
problems here yep so great so we just used up one two
three i think four youtube notifications which i believe is our daily limit
um so when show basically won't get viewed this week because algorithmic
view serving rather than just pinging people when we ask with things although
maybe they're saving us from ourselves today because we just noticed
four times in 15 minutes yeah anyway we've got a great show for you
guys today a lot of good stuff uh my phone only got one your phone only got
one helps yeah well hopefully um
uh should we restart this no
no i've said it now we got this we we've already restarted like four or five
times or whatever so we're gonna we're the first big topic of today is of
course apple bailing reportedly on the butterfly keyboard
that they've been using in their macbook pros
finally so the original article here is from
macrumors.com we're going to go ahead and fire that up there you go
apple to use new scissor switch keyboard in future
macbooks starting with the 2019 macbook air refresh
wow that could actually make the 2019 macbook air like the notebook to buy
assuming that they managed to put a quad-core processor in at this time yeah
i'd be pretty stoked on that that goes against our notes in the dock which is
interesting because it said the keyboard will likely not be ready for this year's
lineup and will be used in the macbook pro but not until 2020. fascinating but
they're rumors so either way sounds like hopefully apple
is moving away from the butterfly keyboard yeah my your mileage your
mileage may vary on these uh on these rumors of course yeah so the the
again the rumor is that the new scissor switch can improve the typing experience
by offering a longer key travel
what no no what
nobody was asking you know what i thought it's working you know what i
really wonder was apple trying to pave the way
for a haptic screen switch
i could see it judging by a lot of the stuff they've been developing yeah
didn't they kind of feel yeah like like kind of like a sharp
short almost like uh like a force touch feel
yeah yeah and their force touch is actually very good it's amazing yeah or
3d touch or whatever whatever is between those two
is that even that crazy like when you look at the way the app no i would
believe that like the average person doesn't touch type even
so if you're just joe average and they went and they put the they put the uh
the touch bar in they went and they put these switches that are sort of
i mean they're in between lots of travel and no travel whatsoever
am i boring you i'm sorry no no no it's okay i know you're just
tired yeah um anyway sorry that's neither here nor
there so anyway the new scissor switch can improve typing experience by offering a longer key travel
cheaper to make but won't be as cheap as an average keyboard apparently the
butterfly does have the advantage of being very thin which of course
nobody was really asking for yeah i don't think that's
been i the whole design industry has
been so obsessed with making phones and laptops thinner
and like it really doesn't matter past a certain point they've been as thin as
i've needed them to be for a few years now yeah like things were too clunky we
had there's pictures you can find of laptops that are like clearly too thick
but yeah i don't know at a certain point it doesn't matter so much anymore
well you can fit it in a file folder with like ease it's like yeah okay
yeah that's probably good enough um
oh man youtube chat is still going this is so
simple it's their damn net why is this so hard to understand they have a
switcher router down or their upstream is getting hosed so while we were
dropping frames we measured what was it 600 megabit up or something stupid like
that off of the streaming computer so no
no that weren't it unfortunately yeah i i genuinely have no clue what's
going on two millisecond pings and 600 megabit up uh while we were still
streaming so nope that's fine like we're
yeah we're actually pretty stumped
usually usually like a diagnostic process could just be do
everything over again and then it'll maybe work and you won't necessarily
know what was broken but maybe work but we've done that like yep quite a few
times and we also don't have time to do that right now when the show is supposed
to be going live yeah right now so we appreciate your suggestions but
unfortunately they weren't really applicable this time no
i kind of want to just ditch this computer again because i think it's
haunted that's the only possible explanation at
this point in time is that that computer is haunted i made a joke uh last week i
think it was yeah which is where like i should just bring my computer in every friday we just stream off of that but
like at this point i bet you would work
the crazy thing again like i i like i was i was afraid to like i didn't want
to blame it on the network i could blame it on the network cable that was running around the office because
we're talking 20 meters another 40 another 20 like
you're getting kind of close and we're going through a switch although that
theoretically should reset the 100 meter limit sort of ish i think
anyway it's not an amazing it's not an amazing switch and i was having an issue
with an Ethernet uh port in the set
earlier this week okay so i was like okay maybe there's a bad switch so we ran a
cable directly to the server room which is not into a bad switch um that's into
like a four thousand dollar switch it's a little bit of a sketchy cable it's not
a great cable but it looks like it's working just fine yeah and we had the
exact same issue either way so i didn't want to blame the network because
the stream cart streams fine but that
yeah that's what i've been saying to this computer
i've been mentioning the stream cart streaming fine for a while now so
but then the direct connection that didn't fix it so
it's haunted it's haunted hardware that's the only
possible explanation for it but it's been haunted for like six years
speaking of haunted uh in other news this week three florida towns are
apparently infected by ransomware
so uh this was posted originally on
rstechnika.com let's go ahead and pull
the article up here florida land someone clicks link again
giving key biscayne best kanye
i i don't know cubisk ransomware
triple that triple threat commodity malware attack seizes computers of yet
another florida town this is like ransomware is honestly
the smartest thing the black hat community
ever came up with because compared to
other attacks it is so
easy to deploy and is
so profitable like it is so lucrative i
mean compared to you know if you were let's say hypothetically you were to
deploy something like uh a medium-sized botnet okay in order to
deploy that it's relatively straightforward you have to get someone
to click on a compromised link approve
running a compromised executable or some kind of script on a web page or
something like that and basically for all intents and
purposes they are part of your swarm right sure does it go about like that
sure all right so then from there
monetizing the swarm is the next step because just infecting people's
computers unless you just want to watch the world burn doesn't have a a a a a
nickels and dimes benefit yeah so okay ways to monetize a swarm you
might mine cryptocurrency on your swarm but you'll probably have to do it in
relatively low amounts because you'd have to mine fairly slowly
because you don't want people to reformat the computers or go get them fixed or whatever or whatever the case
may be you so really the key to a good infection is the user not knowing that
they are infected so mining cryptocurrency so if you want to bond it yeah you could
um you could fraudulently you could uh fraudulently click on
banner ads or uh you know youtube advertising or whatever else so you
could you could uh conduct like a click fraud operation
you could um from keystrokes farm keystrokes okay
yeah right you could sell data all right so you could find these individuals that
have so you could uh key log them so you could find when they've uh logged into
something you could go okay let's let's go try that and just kind of uh i'm sure
there's an ai that you could use to kind of just log like okay they're on this
page and they entered these two things into these fields sounds good there you
go so you can you could start you could farm user data and then from there you
could commit identity theft or there's a you know variety of other things you
could just get straight into people's bank accounts transfer funds out of them
so that can be pretty lucrative but you've got it the point is that once a
computer is infected you have to come up with something but
yeah also in that category you have to transfer funds out of those bank
accounts to another bank account all in like whatever i don't remember what the
term for it is but like fiat currency currencies yeah yes yeah
so that's a little bit tough because it's quite traceable
ransomware by contrast is just brilliant
because people to pay you directly you only have to get theoretically as few as
one computer infected with it it's just as
easy to roll out as something like a key logger uh if you basically if you can
get anyone to run an executable and click through the prompts on their computer
i mean that that's it yeah you can talk all day mac pc
uh you know chrome firefox it doesn't matter once you get someone to execute a
file and then blitz through the security prompts on their computer which most
users will just do without looking at them yeah they're infected
and an individual could pay hundreds of dollars to unlock their computer because
at least with you know one of those other types of infections you can you
can cut off the problem at the source by just
unplugging it from the internet or formatting the pc or whatever like
it's something that can relatively easily be fixed with ransomware at least
with the more sophisticated ones um
you just don't have your data and yeah you can reformat your computer but say
goodbye to all your childhood photos or whatever else it is that you store on
your computer so an average person would probably pay 2 300 bucks to get that
stuff back well okay not probably there's there's a very high percentage
chance that an average person might be interested or there might be things on
that computer that are worth two to three hundred bucks to them so they're
it's a it's a decent amount to try to charge a random but if you know that you
happen to get like uh a municipality or a city or a bank or
like some big entity like that you can charge potentially way more apparently
um first town palm beach county yeah no
idea six hundred thousand dollars is to be paid and second
oh oh lake city florida is also gonna be paying about 42 bitcoin which is about
460 000 usd up whenever this was written
because that price changes all the time but 42 bitcoin
and then the third town uh key biscayne got no notice about ransom
uh most of their networks apparently got back up within four days after being
infected but all of them were hit by the same method a city employee clicking on
a malicious email
yikes that's pretty rough big yikes
um in other news vodafone uk switches on 5g
service with unlimited data plans so the
original article here was from the bbc let's go ahead and fire that up
it's live in five cities in the uk boom
switches on in seven uk cities
so in spite of all the concerns that people
have about the safety of 5g um
not just with respect to like the
the the rf you know
like effects on their body or whatever like what are you looking at oh i was i
was looking at my wrist oh oh yeah i'm sorry i thought i was i was you've been
exposed to five g's yeah i know are you okay i've got the 5g right i'm
healthy um
yeah i forgot so i was hydro dipping oh so i just no it's just paint on my
ARM so sorry i had a bit of a panic moment there so anyway the concerns
about 5g are not just with respect to the effects of the the waves on the
human body um yeah it's taking down weather satellites and
crazy stuff so it apparently interferes with uh weather forecasting or at least
could interfere with weather forecasts not that it's accurate anyways all right
well yeah but like i'm talking more than just like 70
chance of rain or whatever i'm talking like hurricane warnings apparently could
be affected by this so it's a very serious issue luke and i think you should just grow up
the weatherman said i would have more snow this year and i didn't
it's some upset it's weather predictor weather correspondent not weatherman oh
okay what year is it uh
i think you need to not just grow up but also get with the times oh my goodness
i'm so sorry oh man okay in other news did did you
what's up train we have a door
oh oh we do like it's broken pressure no it's like a
pressure situation oh okay okay um in
other in other news did you see the dumbest thing on the internet of all
time actually nick i'll let you jump in before i get into this i haven't watched your most recent video yet still wanted
to do that thing oh yeah yeah yeah i already sent you the
thing yeah yeah i'll do it i'll do it during the sponsor spots um the best show okay have you it's the
greatest it's the most amazing show
um so this was trending on twitter last
night and i don't usually weigh in on political discussion on the lan show but
this just made this just it man it made me so mad it
could turn my hair red and that's a joke to do with it anyway
so there there was a trending hashtag what is it a couple of days
not my ariel because a dark-skinned actress has been
cast to play ariel in the live-action little mermaid movie
okay and
i just couldn't even i just couldn't even i see why that's a
joke now yeah so yeah yeah right here yeah so
basically white people were mad
that ariel is not white
i don't yeah i don't get it really i don't know why anyone cares so the
argument's getting made and this is this is why i wanted to bring this up this is
this is the part of the show that's just sort of off topic now so the argument
that was getting made was that it's not true to the original
uh like the original content and
that's kind of where i was going with this it's just it's a news flash for
everyone uh racist or otherwise the disney movie is rarely if ever
yeah yeah they're usually based on like fairy
tales which came wait cinderella a lot older than 1950 or 60 whatever
you know the uh uh sleeping beauty because there's like hundreds hundreds
of years there's interesting ones where you know the harry potter and the and
the what is it cursed child or something yeah i haven't read that oh uh
don't bother hey probably not bummer i went to go see the play yeah was that
any good which was actually the production was amazing the playhouse
that it was in was fantastic um i think the the actors did a very
good job and like yeah the how they used the production house and the effects and
everything were great etc but i was actually a little confused
when it first started i didn't recognize hermione
because she's not white right i didn't get that once someone refers to her as
hermione i'm like oh okay and i proceeded to not care figured out the
internet cared a lot um and
but something that got brought up is yeah apparently uh
jk rowling yeah has said that she was never intended to be white
really and that she was actually supposed to be
african sure of of for whatever reason or equatorial
that continent descent i i i can't keep up with it
right yeah um
and i'm like and i read that and went okay
and moved on internet not okay with this apparently
in one of the books it specifies that she is white
so when you told me the aerial thing that's why my reaction was like
uh because now i'm wondering it's like maybe in one of the fairy tales to the
doth it be your face
happens to be pearlescent i don't know i
have no idea but like maybe i don't know
anyway the long and the short of it is i'm never clicking on a trending hashtag
again because they never matter and i'm sorry that i ever did because
twitter is the ultimate illustration of
everything that is wrong with the mainstream internet
twitter gives everyone a voice and quite frankly not everyone deserves one the
thing that just drives me nuts is like that's actually the least important
thing i've heard of in so long it's like
the skin color of the character who plays ariel
can we address the bigger issue here that the live action remakes of the old
disney classic cartoons are the most blatant
grab yes of our time
they are worse than gaming movies i'm actually going to take that stance
really defend it okay have you seen um
have you seen hitman no actually it's actually
okay it's okay yeah okay i get really
triggered about the warcraft movie because the amount of inaccuracies and
like why the heck is it live action yeah like the orcs the orcs were never
intended to be green
they were red there's some that are anyways uh the the
warcraft movie it drives me nuts because blizzard is insanely good at making
animated cinematics and yes they always have been then there's a live-action
movie and everyone's like what because they're thinking play to
your strengths ladies and gentlemen and like change part of the story and all
this kind of stuff but if you went in there never knowing anything about warcraft
it's actually probably pretty decent like there's some games i think a lot of
people are going to take issue with that in the comments but please go on why i
just think they will i haven't seen the movie you told me not to watch it so i know i wouldn't bother exactly okay yeah
yeah um but like i i think gaming movies are at the very
least getting better and like hitman i thought was
it was okay for a plane movie i didn't feel like i wasted my time got
it okay so and i feel like every live-action
disney movie is going to be a waste of time so here is i guess you know what i
i've challenged you to defend that but i actually don't disagree with you because
to me what i'm glad you brought up was
whether it was a waste of time or not yeah so
my that is exactly my issue with the disney live action remakes so i only
watched part of uh
beauty and the beast not because i wasn't in the room the whole time but because my attention was super not
focused on it because it was very very boring
so at least this is the live action version yeah at least with most video
game movies that i've seen they at least tried to put a spin on the story and or
the characters or just use the original
story and characters of the like the game as a as a jumping off point and do
something completely different as long as it's not made by i don't remember how
to say his first name but yeah i like i don't
i can't think of a video game movie that tries to just steal the plot of one
of the games but just make it a movie remember the old final fantasy movie
that was yeah it was nothing like not even close any of the games but it's
good in fact i would have made the argument that that just shouldn't have been called final fantasy anything
because it was just completely off time i would agree yeah but it's good but
it's still it's okay but going back to the disney live action movies they just they're
it's j it's in some cases it's even the same bloody songs like they didn't even
they didn't they didn't they didn't do anything original
like okay it's it's it's real it's like they throw expensive actors at it
oh yeah cause they know they're gonna make a billion dollars and they know the
names of the actors will help them make exactly ludicrous amounts of money so so
this is a it's a it's and that's my problem with it is like i feel like my
time is being wasted because i'm being told the exact same story in the exact
same way with the exact same songs and i'm somehow supposed to get over the
fact that hermione granger is belle for whatever reason
and french i guess
and i just can't i i just i i don't get
it and so to me it just looks like it's
entirely a bean counter decision so someone went okay
we can do a remastering of the lion king
now on blu-ray in 3d with some uh some
dvd extras and behind the scenes and we can do a big campaign we can do a
theatrical release and we can print ourselves 150 million
dollars later interviews or we can do
this we can spend twice as much we can spend 300 million dollars but we know
we're gonna get 900 million one and a half billion like we know what the
return is because we can just take it almost as a straight up formula we just
go okay here's the year of the original release here's what it grossed here's
what the overall like because they thought i'm sure they have figures for all this here's what the overall
merchandising numbers were like so here's how many adult humans today with
children exist that loved this movie yeah and
they can just draw a freaking trend line through it and go okay yeah cool so that
one's worth about 1.15 billion uh if we
put the disney machine to work and pump out all this
stuff around it that's going to cost us about 350 million so we could either
spend you know 5 million redoing the same movie or 10 million or whatever
you're adding 3d um and get our 150 million or we could
take a bigger risk but it's not a risk no and we could generate a much bigger
return let's work on that instead so that's why we saw one of these things
and now there's an explosion because they're like oh yeah it worked for sure
let's just do it again and i was never that into beauty and the beast so i it
didn't offend me even if i didn't particularly enjoy the live-action thing
like i was just bored because it was like this is the same movie yeah but
now instead of the because i i love animated movies i was
gonna say some things are better enemies some things are better animated some
things lend themselves to warcraft imagination
better when they're animated how to train your dragon wouldn't be as good a
film if it wasn't animated no um neither would the incredibles no and
and so i just i i wasn't like offended but i actually
just found out apparently they're working on live action mulan and that kind of annoyed me because and we had we
had a big debate in the office today about which is a better which is a
better disney film mulan or hercules do you want to weigh in on that did you
ever see either of them okay
it's been a wild amount of time since i've seen either and an exceptionally
wild amount of time since i've seen move on
but probably mulan i mean there's no right answer i mean no
one would agree with you if you said hercules other than david okay yeah but
like anyway but like it's been a very long i i only just
found out they're doing a live action one of that and i'm just like what what are you gonna like what were you aiming
to fix and if you weren't aiming to fix anything
because that was not even that old of a movie it's like 1996 or 98 or something
i guess that was a while ago it's pretty old it's pretty old
like over 20 years old
was i really 10. it's quite a while ago
hold on a second oh man
98. yeah it's 21 years ago
darn it darn it
all right so sorry when you guys actually watch this live we haven't had
a live chat to uh keep us on track yeah
sorry guys we'll get back on track with our sponsors the show today is brought to
you by private internet access go to LMG.gg piawen to try it out today pia
has over 3 000 bare metal servers in 44 locations across 28 countries you can
connect up to five devices at the same time with a single account their apps
include dns leak protection and ipv6 leak protection they've got apps for
Windows macOS Android iOS Linux and google chrome
and i mean what else do you need go check it out it's pia it's freaking
awesome it's sweet speaking of awesome corsairs hydrox is bringing full custom
liquid cooling to the masses Corsair
their xc7n xc9 RGB CPU blocks are among
the top performers out there with their skivved skeeved skived with their skived
microfin cold plates and really the main story here to me is
the way that Corsair handles an entire ecosystem of products so they're all
designed to work together properly and they went
all out so some of the products were designed by Corsair in-house including
the CPU blocks as well as the reservoir pump uh arrangement although you'll be
happy to hear this they didn't go stupid on the pump they went with a genuine
lang d5 cool okay right that's actually very nice and like they had the stones
to just go with what people should buy instead of offering things that people
shouldn't buy because they might want them i i will say as someone who has had
no involvement in this whatsoever the fact that they just went with a d5 makes
me very happy yeah that's awesome really good for the radiators they had hardware
Labs do them up cool for the fittings who do you think
just guess it was a good choice it was a good choice it was okay so i've
got two in mind one of them is bits power yep there you go bits right they
went with bits power for the fittings so they designed the things themselves
where it made sense uh GPU blocks as well um and they went with partnerships
where they felt like there was outside expertise that could help them deliver a
better product so go check it out it all works together great and you can use
their configurator over at LMG.gg hydrox
and it'll help you pick all the right stuff and put it all together the show

video description uh the last thing i wanted to bring up
was actually something that we talked about on one of our previous attempts to
do this stream but promo code 10 off 30 on
lttstore.com so if you go to lttstore.com
discount slash 10 off 30 it's limited to 500 orders and it ends in
oh two hours actually uh as of us recording this so 8 p.m pacific
it'll give you 10 off orders of 30 or more so go check that out right away it
is limited in both quantity and time
um all right so what else do we have for the show today it's actually a nuts deal
we got a little bit off topic there just a little bit how did we get there
talking about keyboard switches uh i don't know i just
i got super mad because like honestly it consumed a lot of my time because i just
it was one of those things where i couldn't look away from the stupid
i was just oh right the the twitter topic yeah i
was like just scrolling my phone like a zombie until i finally went
enough internet for today but i think i think that's the whole
oh man we gotta not get caught on this even longer but i think that's the whole
problem with those types of issues and why they start trending because you're
like oh goodness and then people weigh in after feeling right
instead of just scrolling forever like you did they'll weigh in and then scroll forever
and then wait for people to reply to them and then they'll reply
and this whole thing that should have never mattered at all is now trending on twitter it's now
trending on twitter it's madness fantastic uh speaking of madness trump
is apparently to lift some restrictions on huawei the original article here is
from engadget.com let's go ahead and pull that up
he verbally stated that u.s companies can sell their equipment to huawei
during a g20 summit in japan not clear which companies are allowed to do
business in huawei not clear exactly what hardware either because he said
they can sell hardware that doesn't have a great national emergency problem
and they're still on the commerce department's entities list which is like
a big issue if you want to sell anything to them but
he's verbally said that you can so i don't think anyone knows what this
really means huawei has apparently scaled back phone
production since the ban was announced due to the loss of official Android
support and other partnerships um and
as much as i'd love to say that this means everyone can go back to business
as usual um that is often not the case
when it comes to random off the cuff statements yeah from this particular
leader of the free world so we just
thought we'd say hey something was said
might happen it might mean something don't know
stuff uh NVIDIA's super graphics cards are out
and the word on the street uh this is according to videocards.com is that in
response to NVIDIA's super launch of the
uh rtx 2060 super rtx 2070 super and rtx
2080 super AMD
is going to lower pricing of their Radeon rx 5700 series ahead of the
launch so they had already announced pricing if i recall correctly
yes they did for their new navi series and i don't believe they have announced
what the new pricing will be so right now it's a bit of a mystery and uh
they're really they're really
cutting it close to the wire here aren't they
because the launch is in two days
and incidentally that two days time frame happens to land us on a sunday
which means that all of their partners like you know stores where people might
buy these graphics cards um might not have their business
administration staff in the office
um and i guess this opens up into a pretty
sort of um
not a rant but into
a grievance that i guess this is an opportunity for me to air
AMD needs to stop launching their products on weekends
today we received not but yeah you know what i don't i don't know i mean
everyone knows what's launching and when it's launching today we receive not one
but two last minute updates that affect both of
the launches and for that reason we have multiple people on staff here that are
being forced to come in on the weekend in order to get our videos done on time
it's not right it's not fair and it's completely unnecessary there's a reason
why a huge amount of industries release things on tuesdays
you dodge holidays in a huge amount of countries that you might not have
planned for on purpose because they one country might have a monday off for
whatever reason so you're fine in terms of long weekends uh and you have a big
part of the week ahead of you to fix things within standard hours for the
whole industry whether it's the person selling your product to end users
whether it's your side offering support etc etc you have the meat of the week
ahead of you and you don't have problems with long weekends so instead um
AMD and their board partners have probably been scrambling last minute to
get you know some pos rebates or other kinds
of support issued to their their reseller partners
um in order to make sure that their pricing
is competitive um
and so yeah it's just it's one of those things that
i wouldn't even mind if it wasn't so unnecessary AMD could
have easily launched this on a different
day of the week um a few days was not
going to affect the overall impact of of this launch you know if they're
advertised performance claims or anything to go by
um it's just rude i just don't get the
point what benefit is there and the thing too is like AMD might have
thought well we're going to be ready well enough ahead of time that it's not going to be a problem but they should
really just know themselves a little better at this point this is the second time they've dropped a driver update on
us on a friday before a weekend launch
in three launches so like
guys know your own limitations you are never
ready on time so with that in mind
plan to not be ready on time and to be sending out last minute stupid emails
about everything that's changed uh the night before
and so that there's some kind of a contingency for all the people that are
reliant on you keeping to your word and keeping to your schedule
or at the very least not keeping to your word and not keeping
to your schedule but at least having some kind of plan
so it's really really frustrating
speaking of which apparently the re-recordings that i need to do for one
of those videos is ready so i might just
have to uh i might just have to cut this when show
a little bit short so i can get that get that done here is there anything else
that you had really wanted to talk about today uh the amazon thing is not that
interesting we can we can run through it real quick you can do it really fast sure uh
there's a question should amazon be held liable for third pro third party seller
of products uh the u.s appeals court ruled that amazon can be held
accountable for faulty third-party sales third-party sellers selling either
defective or dangerous products items
includes items not directly sold or fulfilled by amazon there's a lot of
sellers on amazon um i actually kind of
wish there wasn't or i wish it was a little bit more obvious because it's not
that apparent that you're buying from some random yeah yeah they do they do
communicate it yeah but it's not kind of blasted to you and it's really
annoying when it happens um because a big part of the reason why at least i
shop on amazon is because i know i'm dealing with amazon yeah and i'm actually not that
interested in shopping on amazon to deal with other groups if i wanted to shop on
some random website with products that might be sketchy or crappy i would go to
a website that specializes in products that you know might not have
been imported correctly or might not adhere to the same safety standards that
um you know someone like amazon would have to make sure that they are so
apparently nearly half the items sold on amazon are through third-party sellers i
actually had no idea i had no code either that's kind of why it's easy i
wonder if that means half the listings
yeah i have no idea not the actual volume i bet you it's listings not
volume yeah because the volume would have to be
in order for it to be half of the items like half of the packages
sent like the vast majority of listings would have
to be non-amazon listings because i'm sure amazon watches for anything with
high volume stocks yeah yeah amazon basic yeah yeah
now we have our own version haha amazon basics the butt plug
give me time the way i was gonna say one day there's been no comment by amazon yet
um so the the origin of the case was apparently uh
a gal by the name of heather aberdorf who sued the company in federal court
back in 2016 when a retractable dogley snapped and whipped back at her causing
permanent loss of vision in her left eye so the lower court will rule on whether
the leash itself was defective but that's where this whole debate seems to
have come from right so that's it for the WAN Show this week
