This is Is this 00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.279 new? This is new, isn't it? Um, that is a thing that I believe I put on last 00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:30.000 week when you weren't here last week. Where was I? Oh, yeah. You were um You 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.679 were You were inerson VR game watching. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.640 Were you? Yes, that's what you were doing. Yeah. Which actually ended up not 00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:42.719 being what I thought it was because you don't watch from the crowd. No. So, it 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.879 it was the same, right? Anyways, we have 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.920 lots of awesome topics this week. No, we don't. Um, we have like jack all. This 00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:56.960 is probably going to be the best show we've ever had. Uh, in SpaceX news, uh, 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.359 Elon Musk wins a $112 million NASA 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:05.600 contract. Is this just all like is that all there is? SpaceX, Mars, Lander, 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:11.040 Tesla. So, it's all space and Elon Musk. Uh, welcome to the the Luke show. Uh, 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:15.200 really? Valve Game Awards. Things Luke is a fan of. This qualifies as news this 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:22.080 week. Uh, Samsung adding new obtrusive ads to 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:25.119 your old smart TV in more reasons to not 00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:27.600 buy a smart TV. You can't buy a smart 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:31.439 TV. New dumb TV. Is it not possible? No. I've been looking into it. Every TV is a 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:37.680 smart TV. Can you dumb out your smart TV? You can unplug it from the internet, 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.920 but then you can't Netflix and chill. 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:45.840 But you could chcast that. You could chcast that. So, you would have to pay 00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.720 for additional hardware. Black Friday deals. I think it's like 29 bucks on B&H 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:54.240 for a chcast. New chcast. Yeah, new chcast. It's actually a pretty solid 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:59.759 price. Okay. Well, I'm not even going to try for standout deals or standout 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:07.759 deals. Xbox One streaming comes to Oculus Rift on December 12th. Who cares? 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.259 Uh, not me. Uh, uh Oh, wow. All right. 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:14.560 Intro. 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:22.640 This is going to be our worst show ever, which is like a pretty high bar. So, 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:27.160 there's that. We could just talk about what we did 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.160 this week. 00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:37.599 I don't even know if this game. I mean, maybe it's 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:45.360 Yeah, I know they're here. People are watching. Oh, hold on. Hold on. I got to do the thing. Hey, the couch move thing 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:50.879 is back. Why? This isn't that complicated. Is it 00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:56.239 Colton's fault this time? I don't think so. It's not Colton's fault. Well, we'll 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.800 blame Colton. Just edit the same file. 00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:05.040 Just move again. Well, that one didn't. No, I fix it and chef steps are the 00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:08.319 same. Terrible. Terrible. WAN Show. Two 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.400 out of 10. Two out of 10. Half an hour 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.040 late with no explanation whatsoever. Yeah. And they can't even get the intro 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.800 graphics in the right spot. At least the laptop's pink. Look, if this was 00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:23.040 pre-recorded, Auggman plays. Why wouldn't it be on 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:26.959 time? Why wouldn't it be? Why is the camera not set up proper? Look at this. 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.319 I think we Well, no, you you usually slouch. I think that's on purpose. I 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:33.200 think that's by design, but like to be proper, I would have to slouch this. I 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:37.360 don't know if I slouch that much. But if it was No, you sit back. See? Well, you 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:41.440 don't sit back that much. Okay. You know what? I I I think it tilted down. 00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:45.840 Anyway, the point is, if it was pre-recorded, wouldn't we have cut out 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:53.040 the mistakes? No, we probably wouldn't. 00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.440 Okay. But in my defense, it's usually me 00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:59.280 editing this crap after the fact. Yeah. I don't know how video editing works. 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:04.640 No, you're just adding to the idea that it's pre-recorded and it's complicated. 00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:08.319 Yeah. And it's No, really. Like, okay, it used to be very complicated back when 00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:11.680 Xsplit didn't have an option to force constant frame rate. So, that was a 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.879 problem. So, to the conspiracy theorists out there being like, "Oh, so everything 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:20.560 is pre-recorded and then Lionus edits it." Uh, no. If we edit the show, it's 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:25.680 because like something screwed up, like we we uh the stream got disconnected or 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:28.720 like a capture card stopped working or whatever the case may or there was like 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.759 personal information leaked or like something that was an actual problem. 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:35.520 So, the problem is that a lot of the time, um, I don't know how much you guys 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:40.400 know about video recording, but if you don't gracefully terminate a video 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.919 recording, it can be like pretty screwed up and it can actually be very very 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:51.759 hard. You sometimes have to run it through like I've used everything from ffmpeg to Handbreak to Vegas to Premiere 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:57.040 to uh, what else have I used? I've even used like weird tools like whoever media 00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:00.560 converter, whatever. Like sometimes I'll just have to run it through like 00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:03.440 multiple different transcoders and then one of them will figure it out. One of 00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:06.320 them will figure it out and then I'll be able to get it onto a timeline and 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.240 stitch it together with the other stuff. Like when WAN Show needs to be edited 00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:16.479 it's usually an enormous problem. Yeah. 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.960 So uh so wow we have like speaking of 00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:24.080 enormous problems nothing today we don't have anything to talk about except 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.160 Black Friday deals and Floatplane Black Friday deals. I mean, are there even 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:33.360 whatever? Okay, so the Verge has Black Friday deals. Oh, I didn't 20 best 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:38.000 deals. That's 20 best deals. That's a good way to go. Is that a book? Atlas 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:43.520 Obscura. Yeah. Okay. There's two books there and Field Notes. Field Notes. 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:49.600 Space stuff. You're a dork. I love Field Notes. The 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:55.199 Vive is $100 off. Okay. If you were going to buy a Vive, then $100, I guess, 00:05:52.720 --> 00:06:02.000 is not a trivial discount in the grand scheme of the thousand plus dollar PC 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:03.440 and now $700 thing. You do get a 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.400 Microsoft Store gift card. I'm sure someone has bought something from the Microsoft Store at some point. Hopefully 00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:15.360 not a game because that seems to be going terribly. PS4 Slim, uh, 250 bucks. 00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:19.680 Okay. Uh, Xbox One controllers for 40 bucks. Okay. So, if you're if you're a 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:22.960 PC gamer and you want to play uh games on your PC with an Xbox One controller 00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:27.360 or PlayStation 4 controller for that matter, I'm surprised they don't have the Steam thing on here. I've heard that 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:32.639 you can get a Steam controller and a Steam Link together for 50 bucks, which 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:38.000 is like pretty solid if you want a Steam controller. And a Steam Link. And a 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:43.520 Steam Link. Maybe that's why it's not on here. 00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:45.280 Oh. Oh, damn. Rough. Oh, damn. Although 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.520 Sil 6 is out, so you have one game that makes sense to play with it. There's a 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.600 Pixel deal where you have to pay the entire cost of the phone up front, but 00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:58.400 then the difference gets deducted from your wireless bill monthto monthth. So 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:04.319 it's like they subsidize Hold on a second. You you get it's a 00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:08.800 like is this a reverse subsidy? I don't really I don't really understand. 00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:14.160 Um it's pretty weird. The Apple Watch Series 1 is $200 and it's still totally 00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:18.319 not worth that. I'm I'm back to using it. Okay. Actually, that's something I 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:22.319 can talk about a little bit here. I'm back to using the Apple Watch. Yeah. 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:27.280 Why? Okay. So, something I've been trying to figure out an angle for my 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.639 MacBook Pro review because there's there's a couple. Are you doing like 00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:36.560 Apple ecosystem? There's some problems with me reviewing the Mac Pro. Problem 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.160 number one, I am not a Mac user at all. 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.960 Actually, that's the biggest problem. I am not a Mac user. I am not really an 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:47.280 Apple. Number one for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, that's Yeah, that's that's number 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:53.759 one. And when when you're number one, you don't need number two. Um, 00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:58.639 so I'm pretty rusty. I actually did use a Mac for like six weeks back when I did 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:04.560 my iMac videos, uh, when they released the 5K iMac, but that was a really long 00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:06.720 time ago. And quite frankly, some of the 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:12.240 stuff that continues to make me really mad, I had completely forgotten about. 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.400 So today I was like literally screaming 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.680 over in the corner of the warehouse because there is no way at least okay I 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:25.919 actually didn't Google it again but I did research it last time. There is no 00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:28.240 way to force refresh Finder. So, you 00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:31.280 know how in Explorer it can kind of bug out sometimes and you'll go and add a 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.719 new folder and it's just like not there or the rename doesn't take um and then 00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:39.599 when you go to click on it it's like this folder doesn't exist even though you're looking at it because it's been 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:42.080 renamed in the background somewhere but you just got to refresh it and it'll 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:48.480 show up properly. Okay, you know how that can happen sometimes. Okay, so in Finder if something changes within a 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:52.959 folder and Finder doesn't realize it, you just wait. 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:57.279 You just wait until it finds it because it's Finder. It's working on it 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.120 actively. It's working on it. Um, you don't have to worry about it. It'll do 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.800 it for you. So, there there there are some things that are driving me crazy. 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:09.920 Anyway, so the point is Sorry. CNET's Black Friday buyer guide is the worst 00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:13.519 thing. It's just you just have to like go Yeah, check this out for Sorry to 00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:17.760 like I was trying to research for the next topic. You derailed me so hard 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:21.519 there. This is the worst. Like, okay, first off, there's that thing in the way 00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:27.120 and then you can't like all the information is in the right hand side. 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:31.360 Uh oh. What's going on? Hold on. So, you got to scroll here. Yeah. So, there's 00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:35.600 like a little mini scroll wheel and then there's just random picture and then you 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:40.240 just have to go to like next slide to find the next product. There isn't like 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.880 a list of products 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.080 and then there's like name. So, if you're just like scroll to the wrong 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:50.399 part, it's like at a really weird part of the page. 00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:53.360 What? Oh, sorry. I wasn't screen sharing. They missed all that. They 00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:58.480 missed all the epicness. Do you know what I'll tell you though? Back to my 00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:03.200 topic, having completely skipped yours, but this is terrible. This is just Is 00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:06.640 this like a blank ad spot? I probably like, are they just not serving it? This 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.920 isn't even like a proper topic. I just wanted to show how like really really 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:15.360 bad this is. Yeah, there you go. Oh, there it is. Okay. Um, 00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:20.480 anyway, back on the subject of of So, okay. So, why? So, I've switched to the 00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:26.959 iPhone 7. I have switched to the Apple Watch and I'm using the MacBook Pro as 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:30.480 best I can as a daily driver. Um, in 00:10:26.959 --> 00:10:32.560 order to even if I'm going to have 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:36.640 frustrations that come along with not being an experienced Mac user, I want to 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:40.880 try to experience some of the best things about it. Um, stuff like 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.480 continuity really is amazing. Being able to have a text message come in in my 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:48.240 pocket and not even have to look at my wrist, just have it pop up on my 00:10:46.079 --> 00:10:54.480 computer. Blippity blopity, I'm done. I mean, I don't use text messages a lot 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.399 anymore because that's like it's 2016, 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:59.360 but um anyway, the point is there is stuff about it that's really, really 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:03.440 cool, and I want to make sure that I'm experiencing all of that that best case 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:08.000 scenario stuff to help offset some of the things that I'm not going to like 00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:14.240 about it. Uh the touchpad is amazing. Touchpad's amazing. Um I'm trying to 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.839 think what else is amazing. Um I there 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:20.720 are things that there are things that I do like about the Touch Bar. 00:11:18.079 --> 00:11:24.399 Yeah, I can see that being cool. Um I Oh, shoot. I don't think I put down Oh, 00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:28.320 yeah. Okay. When you open up calculator, so even though you don't have a number 00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:33.920 pad because it's a laptop, uh the touch bar puts all of your um your functions. 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:39.440 So, plus minus and and there because it's above the number pad, they're 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:42.240 close. And I was like, oh, that's cool. 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:46.720 That just saved me time. However, most of the time as I'm typing, it has word 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:52.399 suggestions for some completely like who types such so slowly that it would be 00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:57.600 faster to move their hands off the keyboard and press a suggested word. Oh 00:11:55.839 --> 00:12:02.079 man. And especially because spellch check is built in OSwide, which is 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:06.320 another thing I like. I don't even need it for autocorrect. 00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:10.800 Why is it there? Um, 00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:17.040 so anyway, that's what I'm Dion says that he types slow enough for that to 00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:19.279 help and Beta Rage says he does and Zach 00:12:17.040 --> 00:12:25.519 says that his dad does. So, here's my feedback. Get typing. There's websites 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:29.839 that you can go to where you like type the names of words that are on like fish 00:12:27.760 --> 00:12:32.560 and stuff. They have them in elementary school and they make it so that you type 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.560 faster. They make it so it's fun to learn to type. Yeah. Um, one of them is 00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:41.440 probably called learn to type. Typing is an important life skill. Now, with that 00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:43.600 said, I do see it as a pretty cool like 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.399 disability feature. Like, if you actually can't type. Okay. Yeah. Like, 00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:52.639 let's say you like you were in an accident and like, you know, the last uh 00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:57.200 joint of a couple of your fingers got lpped off or or something like that. So, 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:02.000 there's like a specific reason that is not trainable. Yes. To like why? Yeah. 00:13:00.079 --> 00:13:05.519 Yeah. So, I could see that. Um, I could also see people just having a really 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.519 hard time typing on that keyboard. Oh, because it's just terrible. Yeah. Um, 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:14.240 I'm getting faster though. I'm getting faster on it. I'm still gonna do I'm 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:16.639 going to actually speed test in my like that's going to be part of my review 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.639 because for me this one's really bad, too. I like it. I'm really fast. This 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:26.560 one specifically is worse than Oh, you're on the stealth. Yes. Oh, that's right. Okay. Um, anyway. Oh, right. 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.480 Other issues that I'm running into. So, I'm having such a hard time switching to 00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:35.600 it as a daily driver because of just how fundamentally broken certain things are. 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:40.720 Uh, for example, browsing network shares. And yes, they're SMB shares, but 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:42.000 it should still be okay. Holy balls. If 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.639 you go to a directory you've never been to before, you can wait like 20 seconds 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.800 for the files to populate. And it it's not even like like like thumbnails like 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:57.519 where they'll start to pop in. It's just it it's just empty for like a long time 00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:02.959 and then it's like oh I got it. Um also 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:05.600 HDMI output is broken AF on many capture 00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:09.199 cards. So I'm not going to blame my AVIO 4K because and these guys are awesome by 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:13.120 the way. They already have an alpha firmware to us for capturing PS4 Pro. 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.920 Nice. I don't know if I told you that. I don't know if I told John that. I should 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:20.240 tell John that. Aren't they Canadian? Um, that would explain why it says made 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.240 in Canada and why the number that they call me from is based in Ottawa. So, 00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:29.199 yeah. Anyway, they're cool guys. Epipan. Um, and they're the reason that our 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:31.680 capture streams don't fall fall off the 00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:35.120 rails anymore. And that even test through one though. When I don't test I 00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:38.720 know. I told them that. Okay. Um, when I when every time I don't test my screen 00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:43.600 capture, it just like works. Yeah. Anyway, these guys are great. um they're 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:47.440 already aware that the MacBook Pro cannot be captured and it's not just 00:14:45.839 --> 00:14:52.480 them. If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure they use these on the ISS. 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:58.079 Really? I remember because I was doing research into them. Um 00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.920 but I just I need I need pass through. Yeah. Yeah. Pass through would be a very 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:06.880 very good thing because it's really janky to use an HDMI splitter and Yeah. 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:11.360 And like I can do that but I would just rather not. Yeah. Um, so, so that's 00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:17.519 where we're at on whatever I was talking about just now. Uh, oh, I actually have 00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:20.800 a new egg black Friday deal that's also on ncx.com. 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:24.959 So, you can get it in the states or Canada. Uh, Intel has a crazy deal. 00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:29.040 These Black Friday deal things that we're calling out are not sponsored, just so everyone knows. Yeah. Just so 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:33.440 you know, this is just I'm planning to buy a whack of them. Um, I hate how 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.320 Newegg will just glitch out because you're not in do you're not in the 00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:40.880 States. Well, it's a render. make it like go. Yeah, I think it's a high DPI 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:43.440 screen issue because it works fine on some of my computers and not others. 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.800 They should be able to fix that. Well, they should. Yeah. Well, that's And even 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:51.120 if they can't fix it. So, just to show you guys what we're talking about. Um, 00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:57.360 if you load a page Don't think it's going to do it worked this time. Yeah. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.639 Holy crap. So, sometimes the What just 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:02.320 happened? What? It just Oh, wow. It took 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:07.920 me to new egg. It took me back to the homepage. So much fail. It'll it'll like 00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:11.519 gray out the screen to put that popup being like, "You're in Canada. Do you 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.720 mean.ca um but then not bring up the popup." So, 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:23.440 you just have to click somewhere and then it'll go away. Actually, no, because new egg.ca is terrible. Yeah. 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.759 Anyway, uh this is on for like $300 off, 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:30.560 which works out to like $450 Canadian off. So, or like 400 something along 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:33.839 those lines. So, I'm actually and it's limit two per customer, but I think I 00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:39.199 can gain the system because I actually want to try and get 24 of them. Yeah. 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:46.320 So, I'm working on a plan to convert our SSD server to a pure NVMe server. We 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:51.040 have we have 15 people that work here. Well, it's not so much just that as that 00:16:48.959 --> 00:16:55.519 there could be two ingest stations out there streaming high bit rate video onto 00:16:53.839 --> 00:17:00.399 it while six people are sitting in there. Oh, no. in order to get that many 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:04.000 of them. Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're just going to we're just going to have 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:06.720 people buy them and expense them. You could do that, right? Like it's not 00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:12.400 illegal. It's just breaking New Egg's terms of service, which quite frankly, what do I care? Um, 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.120 so this is the machine I'm planning. It's really funny because in a video 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:21.199 recently, I basically made fun of people for browsing the super micro website 00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:28.000 recreationally, but it is 100% something that I do. 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:34.320 So, I'm planning to put it in one of these that I just discovered and had not 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.679 seen before at all. 24 NVMe drives. It's 00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:40.480 a 24 bay NVMe server, so you can install 00:17:37.679 --> 00:17:47.280 I think three a half height and two more full height PCI Express uh cards off of 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:49.039 risers. It's dual socket uh 2011 three 00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:55.840 and then it's can take up to whatever that is like 24 memory slots. Um yeah, 00:17:53.679 --> 00:17:59.840 so I've talked to them. Oh yeah, quad 10 gig LAN. 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:04.080 So we will be definitely taking advantage of that bigger 10 gig ser uh 00:18:01.760 --> 00:18:08.960 10 gig switch that we got. That's really epic. Um so this thing is disgusting. 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:13.120 Now with that said, there are some issues that I do have to figure out. 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:17.200 Unfortunately, the deal ends in like 2 days, so I don't have a lot of time to 00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:21.440 decide. And because Super Micro's American office is closed for, as far as 00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:25.600 I can tell, Americans, like if you're American out there, you guys celebrate 00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:30.080 Thanksgiving for like a week, right? Like, is it As far as I can tell, 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:36.799 everyone in America takes an entire week off for Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, 00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:40.400 and Christmas? Pretty much like, am I am I wrong? I 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:45.520 like that's my experience when trying to contact Here's here's John. What's up, 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.200 John? Am I off here? How much time do we 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:53.440 take off for what holiday? Like a week for Fourth of July? No. Oh, come on. 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:57.280 Like it's usually an extended weekend. An extended weekend he calls it. But 00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:01.520 like does an extended weekend mean like it's not seven days. A day on either 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:06.400 side. Okay. Not seven days. Okay. How how how long? Seven days. What's that? 00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:08.400 How long do you think? Um Fourth of July 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:12.320 is on a weekend. It might be if it's on a weekend. Three or four day weekend. 00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:17.200 Three or four day weekend, but not Okay. But like Thanksgiving, um, when I was in 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.799 school, um, they can't hear you, so I have to kind of like translate. When I 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:24.160 was in school, they did one day on each side. Okay. So, it became, so 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:28.720 Thanksgiving would be a five day weekend. Be like a five day weekend, but 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.120 Christmas people can take a lot of time. Okay. Okay. So, 00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:37.760 so anyway, getting in touch with anyone down there is kind of an issue right 00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:43.760 now. Um, but I did get in touch with one of one of my reps who get this. I was 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:47.360 like, "Okay, so what I don't know about this kind of configuration, because 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.160 obviously you don't run out and buy a RAID card, 00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:57.440 duh." Um, so you you know, because I my first 00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:02.559 question when Lionus asked or told me he was going to do it, I was like, how do you even plug them all in? Windows 00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:09.120 Storage Spaces is a gigantic dog turd. Um, the last time I used it, though I 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:10.640 haven't tried it on 2016 preview. Um, I 00:20:09.120 --> 00:20:16.720 mean, okay, so the list kind of kind of goes on here. Like software RAID in 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.320 Windows is basically a terrible idea. 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:21.600 Um, and the performance hasn't been great when I've toolled around with it 00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:24.960 in the past. So, I'm kind of sitting here going like and and yes, I'm aware 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.320 of the issues with RAID cards to all the people. I haven't looked at Twitch chat, 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:31.840 but I'm sure that Twitch chat is full of people talking about how Raid is dead. 00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:38.159 No, there is still a place for RAID. What Raid is not is foolproof. So what 00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:42.000 you want is RAID with some kind of real 00:20:38.159 --> 00:20:44.320 time uh real time failover. So I 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:49.760 actually have that. So anyway, so I so I I call him up and I'm like, "So what am 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:55.600 I going to run this on?" Because I found one post somewhere that talked 00:20:53.039 --> 00:21:00.400 about free .naz and NVMe. Um so as far as I can tell, most people 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:04.400 concerning themselves with a machine like this are not using it for video 00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:10.559 editing. They're using it as like like a caching server for like very very high 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:14.080 traffic pages or something like that. Like they're looking for massive IOPS. 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:18.720 They're probably running some kind of completely custom software solution. Um 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:23.520 they could be running some kind of like you know tens and tens of thousands of 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:26.000 dollars uh per piece of software or like 00:21:23.520 --> 00:21:30.720 you know sand type of system or whatever the case may be. It would be like it'd 00:21:27.679 --> 00:21:32.000 be like a solutions provider 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:37.280 working with something like this. Anyway, so I'm just like, "Okay, so but 00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:43.679 I have to decide now if I'm buying the drives." And he's like, "Um, just go for 00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:45.760 it." And I'm like, "Well, can you get in touch with someone who knows what we're 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:51.520 supposed to run?" He's like, "Yeah, no, I don't know, but I'm I'm sure there's something." I'm like, "Dude, this is 00:21:49.280 --> 00:21:56.240 like $16,000." He's like, "Yeah, it'll be fine." 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:02.640 Like, you're not being very reassuring right now. So anyway, I happen to have a 00:22:00.159 --> 00:22:07.280 handful of 750 series drives and I've been tooling around with just Windows's 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:12.480 built-in RAID 5 software. It said call Wendle. Call I could call Wendle. Not a 00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:16.320 terrible idea. I I actually I You'll end up with a Linux solution. 00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:19.360 No, I meant to message him. Yeah. Um and then I No, I I remember what happened. 00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:24.640 That's when I was looking for my phone. Oh. And then when I found my phone, I forgot to message him. Anyway, so yeah, 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:31.600 I could call Wendell, but the problem is that I do already have a solution for 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:39.280 our real time synchronization that is working very very well. Um, it's and it 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:43.200 is a Windows or I forget what it is, but 00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:44.960 it's like something else and not Linux. 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:51.840 Um, uh, uh, what is it called? Is it called 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:55.200 uh, Piercyn? Is that what I'm using? 00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:58.799 Yeah. So, I ended up buying Piercync, 00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:02.080 which is like a $2,000 piece of 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:06.480 software, which is ridiculous. 00:23:02.080 --> 00:23:12.480 Um, but it work. Okay. So, it runs on 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:16.080 uh Azure, Windows Server, NetApp, 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:19.039 and Cloud on Tap. And that's it. And 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:22.960 that's it. So, it runs on Windows. So, uh, what it, but it's it's it's like 00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:27.679 amazing. It's bulletproof. That's this is not a sponsored piece. I paid for it. 00:23:25.840 --> 00:23:31.919 Although, freaking knows. I've gotten my money's worth, uh, with tech support 00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:38.080 because our use case, once again, was very unusual. Um, and I I found kind of 00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:41.760 a weird idiosyncrasy of the software that made it so that if I had an 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:46.400 off-site backup that had a much much slower link, it was basically nerfing my 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:50.960 on-site backups and bottlenecking it. And there was like some tunable that I 00:23:47.760 --> 00:23:54.720 had to. Anyway, uh the point is whenever 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:57.760 I make a change to our SSD server, it is 00:23:54.720 --> 00:24:00.720 replicated within about 2 seconds to a 00:23:57.760 --> 00:24:06.240 mechanical server elsewhere. And it also allows me to have a recycle bin for a 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.559 network storage uh device that is 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:13.440 bulletproof. So if someone deletes something, it moves into a recycled 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:16.640 folder on that other machine. even though we don't have to deal with 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:22.720 actually having the space taken up by a recycle bin on the actual Nazbox. So I'm 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:26.640 really really happy with how that's working and I really just don't want to 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:30.240 touch it. So I would like to use Windows and what that means is even if that 00:24:28.159 --> 00:24:34.159 software RAID 5 is garbage, what I'll probably do is take the existing WX 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.919 server and I'll have that as my real-time backup. So I'll be fully solid 00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:42.400 state on both the A machine and the B and the target machine. So that's kind 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:46.080 of that's kind of the plan. That's kind of what I'm thinking. Um I'm sure 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:51.200 someone's going to tell me I'm wrong. And hey, with my track record, you might 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:57.440 be right. But with four drives running in a RAID five over there right now, um 00:24:53.679 --> 00:24:59.600 I am able to pull not in a single um not 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:02.480 with a single file transfer. Single file transfers, I'm reading at about two 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.320 gigabytes per second and writing at about one, but with multiple file 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.640 transfers, I can pull off of it at about two and a half, three gigabytes per 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:16.240 second to a RAM disk. and I can write to it at closer to um one and a half 00:25:14.159 --> 00:25:20.400 gigabytes per second. So, I'm I'm super thrilled with that. And I'm really I'm 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:24.640 really pleased with thanks to the IOPS of an NVMe device or not an of NVMe 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:30.159 devices, I'm really pleased with the way that it scales with multiple users 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.600 instead of hitting a brick wall when you 00:25:30.159 --> 00:25:35.360 hit it with multiple users the way that mechanical does and to a much lesser 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:40.080 extent uh regular solid state, especially off of a RAID card where 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:43.679 trim's not working correctly. So, um, 00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:45.120 that's that's kind of my plan for that. 00:25:43.679 --> 00:25:49.679 That's going to be pretty nuts. We have no topics today, so I made a topic out of that. Are you going to do a holy 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:53.679 episode about like just unboxing all the NVMe drives? I I think it makes a ton of 00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:59.039 sense. I think uh once the server and the NVMe drives arrive, that would be um 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.159 Hold on, calculator. This is another thing that's really great about uh 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:06.480 Apple. Watch this. Uh start menu works. Oh, 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:12.640 okay. It actually worked that time. Oh, wow. Brilliant. Uh, well, whatever. 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:15.039 Search works. Oh, yeah. Search actually 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:18.799 works, which is amazing. Um, start menu works. Search probably works. Yeah, 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:22.640 Spotlight is awesome. The calculator probably works more than 75% of the 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:25.919 time. The calculator works in Windows. The calculator's bricked on my work 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:28.960 machine and my house. Really? Literally can't open the application. If you do, 00:26:27.520 --> 00:26:34.960 it'll just load infinitely and you have to end the task. Oh, well, get wrecked, 00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:39.600 son. Yep. So, it would be a 28.8 terabyte NVMe. 00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:42.400 Nazbox, which would be pretty sick. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I think that I 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.279 think that justifies a holy But then I would also want to do a video um 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:53.039 benchmarking it and showing it in use. Remember the like really old like viral 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.960 nerd video of that dude linking all the SSDs into that machine? He's got like 00:26:55.120 --> 00:27:00.960 colored hair and they make a weird song out of it and it's like his whole office 00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:04.880 singing and stuff. No. Isn't it all like Samsung SSDs or something? I have no 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:09.279 idea. He like copies a CD before he can drop it out of a window. 00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:14.919 No, you don't remember this. I think it's like 24 SSDs in RAID zero or 00:27:11.919 --> 00:27:14.919 something. 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:20.400 Let me like this used to be like 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:24.720 just Why don't I do a rapid fire topic while you go ahead and uh and look that 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:31.120 up. Yeah, it it sounds like the hottest thing. Samsung, what what happens when 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:35.440 you raid 24 SSD hard disks? It has 2.3 00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:37.440 million views. It was uploaded in 2011. 00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:43.120 There's Paul the IT genius with like reddish pinkish hair. Oh, what happened? 00:27:41.360 --> 00:27:47.679 That's it. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's pull this up. Let's pull this up. I'm 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:53.159 game. Being marketing people, we thought of 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.159 some pretty rubbish adverts. 00:27:56.399 --> 00:28:01.960 Something something. So, he like builds the computer. 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:08.200 hacksaws mounting for his almond cooler. 00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:13.559 He's using skull trail for some reason 00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:19.640 and then 00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:26.880 Yep. Okay. Well, that's uh and then go to the go to like near the end because 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:32.640 they they turn it into like a song and stuff, but you got to get to like 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.200 So, he's like showing loading pictures and then he shows like 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:40.399 jumping with all the SSDs and the computer keeps running because this is 00:28:38.399 --> 00:28:45.679 like very early on SSDs and people don't realize that that doesn't matter at all. 00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:51.799 Hell yeah. Hell yeah. This is where they like just have weird music and they just 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.799 go like whoa. 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:58.880 Okay. I I loved this video. I somehow 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:04.799 missed this little piece of I watched this video so many times. I showed it to 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:09.039 so many people, man. Apparently 2.3 uh 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:11.360 2.3 million of them. Yep. Yep. This was 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:18.640 like before anyone I knew had even seen an SSD, right? And this dude had 24. And 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:20.000 I was just like, whoa, it's so fast. So, 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:25.520 you can you could just remake that video. There you go. I probably won't. 2.3 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:31.279 million views. I like the Yeah, I 2.3 million views. You won't remake that 00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:35.279 video. All right, let's get on to the uh 00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:38.080 in Paul the IT genius's name. In Paul's 00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:41.760 name, we remake the You're just not going to let me move on to any real 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:47.840 topics. There's no real topics. Well, okay. Elon Musk won a contract, which is 00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:52.080 fascinating. That's new. That's never happened before. An ocean surveying 00:29:49.760 --> 00:29:57.679 satellite. Sweet. The cost of launching the probe is valued at 112 million. That 00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:02.320 is assuming that uh President-elect Trump doesn't completely cut all the 00:29:59.760 --> 00:30:10.399 funding for Earth observation. And just for you fact checkers out there, that is 00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:12.399 more than the cost of uh 24 NVMe SSDs. 00:30:10.399 --> 00:30:17.679 Barely, but it is um we've done the math. So 00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:22.159 designed to scan the planet's oceans and provide the first ever global survey of 00:30:19.679 --> 00:30:27.279 Earth's surface water. satellite something something SpaceX's 00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:28.799 Falcon 9 rockets. Wow. Okay. Uh comes at 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:34.320 a higher value than previous launch contracts NASA has awarded to SpaceX. 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:40.880 Um cool. Nice. Uh well, okay. This one's 00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:44.240 also from The Verge. Here we go. Samsung 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:47.200 is adding new obtrusive ads to your old 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:52.000 smart TV. Apparently, they feel they did not make enough money on that TV the 00:30:49.679 --> 00:30:56.080 first time they sold it to you. So now they need to put some ads on it. So this 00:30:54.000 --> 00:31:00.240 this was like top of Reddit and all this kind of 00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:06.159 stuff. And the the Reddit thread's name was like right when your return policy 00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:11.600 ends, they start giving you ads and all this kind of stuff. And uh they don't 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:16.159 seem completely wrong, which is pretty brutal. I have zero 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:21.039 interest in a smart TV at all. One, I don't watch TV, so slow clap for that 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:25.279 one. But then if I was going to watch something like Netflix or whatever, I 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:29.279 would do it through a chcast because it would be a better and easier experience. 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:34.080 Anyways, you know what? The Netflix app on my smart TV is actually very good. Is 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:38.799 it literally easier than like while you're sitting down just saying what you 00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:44.480 want to watch and then it just happens? Um, it has an air mouse so that's really 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:48.399 nice cuz like I don't I Okay. I haven't decided what I'm going to watch before I 00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:55.399 sit down. Oh, like I browse. Oh, I don't? Yeah. And I have like children, 00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:55.399 so there's like debate. Oh, 00:31:55.600 --> 00:32:01.679 these things that I don't experience. That makes sense. Yeah. So like, and 00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:06.640 there's like research to see if it's actually okay to watch, maybe. Um, yeah, 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:11.279 sometimes. Although I guess you probably already know. I could do that on my 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:13.840 phone while we're like looking at 00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:17.360 things. We also have four, five now people sitting down in front of the TV 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.880 at one time. So many people. So like one of them could be could be checking 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.679 Rotten Tomatoes while the other one of them is like, "Oh, what about this one? 00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:30.000 Why don't you check this one?" Are you going to have to move? Could be a collaborative maybe. 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:36.320 I don't want to talk about Did you guys think about that? So okay, we've thought 00:32:33.919 --> 00:32:40.559 about it, but we've both come to very different conclusions. 00:32:38.159 --> 00:32:44.559 So we have both come to the conclusion that we I never thought about this that 00:32:42.399 --> 00:32:48.960 we don't have to move. However, we have arrived at that 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.720 conclusion in two very unique and different ways. 00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:56.399 Okay. Would you like to hear my conclusion or Ivon's conclusion first? 00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:03.679 Both, but yours first. Okay. So, my conclusion is that the two kids, the two 00:33:00.080 --> 00:33:05.760 same-sex kids can share a room forever, 00:33:03.679 --> 00:33:08.760 which will encourage them to move out sooner. 00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:18.320 Okay. That that sounds Yeah. Okay. Ivon's theory is that I am not going to 00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:22.880 have an office upstairs anymore and I'm not going to have a server room 00:33:19.679 --> 00:33:24.559 adjoining set office and my world's most 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.880 comfortable gaming setup which is over on the other side of set office will no 00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:32.640 longer be accessible to me because that will be the room that the kids will 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:37.279 share and I will be stuck with one of those bedrooms for me and her to have 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:41.760 our computer setups and for me to have all of my server crap which clearly is 00:33:40.080 --> 00:33:46.240 stupid. That is stupid. Also, Windows is force 00:33:43.919 --> 00:33:49.919 restarting my computer right now. While I'm live on a show, there's no delay 00:33:48.159 --> 00:33:56.880 option. Geez. Yep, man. I don't want Windows 10 00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:58.399 anymore. Anyways, that's that's Wow. 00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:03.200 Yeah. Are you actually going to lose all your stuff? Another option would be to 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:07.360 give up all three of the rooms upstairs and they could all have their own rooms. 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:15.040 But, um I don't know. I guess it depends on how mad the teenage 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:17.200 eating pooping machines um are and how 00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:20.320 how forcefully that hopefully they never find this show where I even say I'm 00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:24.240 considering it because if they ask me I'm going to be like nope these two 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:28.560 rooms are kid rooms you divide up the space in them as as you see fit but like 00:34:26.879 --> 00:34:33.679 once they're older those rooms aren't that big. No they're not like at all. 00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:38.879 No, they're really not. Our house in general has a storage space issue. Yeah. 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:43.599 Like in the downstairs, think about it. Yeah. There's the pantry off the kitchen 00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:47.040 in the back room, which is not huge, which is like not even big enough for 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.960 all the food for all the people that need to live in that house really. Um, 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:55.839 part of the problem is that the kitchen layout was redone by the previous owners 00:34:52.720 --> 00:34:57.200 who were dinks. Um, so so there's like 00:34:55.839 --> 00:35:03.520 Oh, that kitchen layout totally makes sense. There's like a lot of room for 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:07.760 wine glasses and there's like not a lot 00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:11.040 of room for cooking supplies. 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:13.760 Um, yeah. So, there's that. So, then 00:35:11.040 --> 00:35:18.160 downstairs, we also have that one tiny hall closet next to the laundry room, 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:21.920 and that's it. Yeah. And that has like winter coats and shoes in it, and it's 00:35:20.160 --> 00:35:27.040 already completely full. It has like the built-in vacuum hose. Like, it's full. 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:31.040 Upstairs, there's two small closets in the bedrooms. The walk-in closet, again, 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:37.760 this was a remodeling choice made by the previous owners. The walk-in closet was 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:41.040 torn out to make room for a gigantic 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:44.160 bathroom with two sinks, 00:35:41.040 --> 00:35:46.880 a twoerson standing shower, and a really 00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:50.480 nice bathtub with like tile on all sides and it's like awesome and everything. 00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:54.960 Really nice, but it means that you take up a lot of the space in that room with just like wardrobes and stuff because 00:35:53.520 --> 00:35:58.480 there's no I'm pretty sure your bathroom is bigger than one of the kids' rooms 00:35:56.640 --> 00:36:04.640 will be. Um, so, so anyway, that was it until we 00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:07.920 put the, uh, the the ladder up to the attic and then we got a little bit of 00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:11.440 space up there, but other than that, there was nothing. There was nowhere to 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:16.000 Yeah. Well, and it doesn't help that I turned those two little closets in the 00:36:13.040 --> 00:36:20.640 office into a server room and world's most comfortable gaming setup. So, I 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:24.480 have contributed to my own problem here. This is a thing that I acknowledge. 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.839 Yeah. Uh, I really don't want to move, but I have actually And I don't think 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:33.920 Avon wants to move either. It's really funny you're bringing this up cuz I have legitimately looked into what it would 00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:39.680 cost to jack up the house and put a basement under it and it is not trivial. 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:44.640 No. No. Like those are really expensive. It can be done. But like even aside be 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:48.560 sweet though. Even aside from the like deep into six figures that that's going 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.480 to cost like it would be an additional mortgage item. It wouldn't be like write 00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:57.680 a check item. Yeah. Um, in addition to that, when they pick it up and when they 00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:01.040 put it back down, structural issues, not so much structural issues. They're 00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:06.480 pretty good at it, but all your drywall cracks. Well, 00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:10.079 okay. I didn't mean like structural integrity. I meant like Yeah. Yeah. 00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:14.560 structural integrity should be okay. Yeah. But like you basically have to 00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:20.000 redrywall your entire house and like probably refloor it. like you you you 00:37:17.520 --> 00:37:26.320 basically don't do that unless there's like a very compelling reason. But even 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:30.960 if we were like, "Okay, let's move to 00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:32.960 the Philippines for six months and just 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.760 tear it down and build something else entirely on the because like by the time 00:37:34.640 --> 00:37:42.320 you're spending that by the time you're reorggaging and spending that much money, uh screw it. Let's go on holiday 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.359 for half a year while they rebuild a new house on the property or something 00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:49.440 stupid like that." I don't even know if we'd be able to do that because that 00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:53.359 whole area is like a planned neighborhood and there's going to be all 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:58.880 those bylaws about what color your house can be and what the facing looks like 00:37:55.680 --> 00:38:01.839 and blah blah blah blah. I might have to 00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:06.800 move. I would hate to move. I love where I live. You should have had less kids 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:10.880 because there's going to be a big conflict there. 00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:14.079 You know it, too. Or you're going to completely You know this to be true. You 00:38:12.720 --> 00:38:18.160 do. or you're going to completely lose your office. And if and if you 00:38:15.839 --> 00:38:24.720 completely lose your office, that room will be far cooler than all the other 00:38:21.359 --> 00:38:27.599 ones. Front-facing window, two little 00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:32.560 side rooms that are like sick. And a bigger area by itself. 00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:36.880 So, which kid gets that? That's going to create a huge conflict. Firstborn 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:40.079 birthright. That's pretty much the only way to do it. still going to create it 00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:44.400 probably, but that's still going to create. I mean, that was honestly what 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:50.400 I'll tell you though is in our house growing up, that was how it worked. So, 00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:54.960 my older sister got the first crack at the basement. So, so the way it worked 00:38:52.960 --> 00:39:00.160 was our basement. So, you like you queue through essentially. Amazing. Okay. So, 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:03.359 you went it was set up as a suite. Um, so, so you went down the stairs and 00:39:01.839 --> 00:39:07.200 there was like a shared laundry room, which is like an amazing way for a suite 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:10.800 to work, by the way. Um, and then there was a second door like kind of an 00:39:08.560 --> 00:39:14.240 airlock style thing. So this laundry room and then there was another door. 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:19.359 That's how I had that's how most the places that I've So that opened up into 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:24.800 a really big kind of like living room den area and then there was a small 00:39:21.520 --> 00:39:26.079 hallway to a gigantic dining room that 00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:31.280 had like a it was even though it was a basement, the way my they built the house themselves, the way they did it 00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:36.240 was really smart in certain ways. Uh, not in others. Uh, so they actually 00:39:33.040 --> 00:39:38.400 lifted the they lifted the basement up a 00:39:36.240 --> 00:39:41.599 bit so that it made the house really tall, but there were no building 00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:45.520 restrictions in the middle of like buttthump nowhere in Maple Ridge anyway, 00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:49.920 so who was going to care? Um, but they lifted it up about 3 feet 3 and 1/2 ft 00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:53.599 above the ground so you could have Windows in the basement. Yeah. So in the 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:57.200 dining room in the in the downstairs kitchen, you actually had like bay 00:39:55.359 --> 00:40:00.480 Windows, which is like super nice looking out into kind of like the sky 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:04.640 backyard area. And then there was a kitchen and then there was a single 00:40:02.160 --> 00:40:07.280 bedroom with a bathroom. Um, and the idea was kind of you could have like 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:14.079 kind of a master bedroom and then you could have like a sleep space outside or whatever the case may be. So anyway, she 00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:18.400 had a shot at that bedroom and the outside den was like a playroom TV 00:40:16.240 --> 00:40:25.440 watching area and then you had your own kitchen fully functional. It always 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:27.280 worked. And she took the attic. 00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:29.920 She took the attic. You had the basement, didn't you? She took the 00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:36.000 attic. So, okay, in her defense, the attic was 00:40:33.040 --> 00:40:42.560 bigger. Okay. Because it was an entire story of the house, but then again, so 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:49.119 was the basement. Yeah. But and but like it sl the roof sloped. Um and but it had 00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:54.560 like pull down like ladder style stairs to get in and out of it and and like 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:59.920 it's like she wasn't thinking at all. And to get into your bedroom, if you're 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:05.040 out late, you had to walk past my parents' bedroom. 00:41:02.319 --> 00:41:09.240 What an idiot. I had my own entrance. 00:41:09.520 --> 00:41:15.680 What a tool. So anyway, we did it on the 00:41:13.359 --> 00:41:19.280 Birthright system. Okay. So when I moved out, someone else the next one down was 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:25.680 eligible for the for the basement bedroom. Yeah. But um I everyone 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:27.520 accepted it. So, we'll see. We'll see. I 00:41:25.680 --> 00:41:31.359 especially accepted it. I was thrilled you don't get an office. I don't want to 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:36.319 talk about that because like everything's too expensive or server 00:41:33.359 --> 00:41:40.240 like moving. Honestly, moving will be too expensive. Where would you put your 00:41:37.680 --> 00:41:44.480 server? I could put it in the garage, but I'd 00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:47.440 have to rewire everything. And then, honestly, with Corning's Thunderbolt 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:51.440 cables, I could even move all the systems to the garage still. I I I have 00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:55.839 thought about this a fair bit. I could see I knew you would have thought about it. That's why I'm pushing the topic. 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:59.520 So, what I was thinking is I would off of the studs in the garage to keep them 00:41:57.839 --> 00:42:05.760 away from the cars like kind of like tire storage is I would build out like a 00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:08.720 cabinet like a rack style thing and I would still rack mount everything. And 00:42:07.200 --> 00:42:13.599 then if I had it in the garage, the garage actually does stay relatively 00:42:10.319 --> 00:42:16.560 cool even in the summer um cuz it's not 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:20.319 right up against the roof. So, yes, I have given some thought to it, but yes, 00:42:18.319 --> 00:42:24.400 I will be highly resistant to it anyway. But yeah, moving is basically 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:28.480 impossible. That's why I've like casually looked into every every one 00:42:26.319 --> 00:42:33.040 every like probably six months I go like what would it take for me to get my own 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:38.640 place and then I'm like oh yeah I live in BC. Yep. Okay. Especially the 00:42:35.839 --> 00:42:42.800 Vancouver part of BC. And the problem is that even if I were to look at a new 00:42:40.720 --> 00:42:45.680 place like so you know what there's really no point hiding this. It's not 00:42:44.160 --> 00:42:51.839 like it's not like no one can look it up. So, uh, places in the area that I 00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:56.160 live go for like a million dollars now. 00:42:51.839 --> 00:43:01.119 A mere, what was it? Six years ago, that 00:42:56.160 --> 00:43:03.520 number was a little over half of that. 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:07.839 So, okay. So, that's problem number one. So, so if I wanted to upgrade, so like 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:13.680 good luck trying to catch up to that. You'd have to save 500 somethingish 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:17.680 grand. And theoretically, I I sell my place and I and I make up a lot of that 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:23.280 money, but that only buys me a place in the place where I am. So, if I'm trying 00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:29.200 to upgrade to something because you want more rooms, because I want more rooms, 00:43:25.520 --> 00:43:31.200 then I have to pay proportionally more, 00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:34.400 like it it gets it gets to the point where it's more expensive even to 00:43:32.720 --> 00:43:39.520 upgrade unless you're willing to reorggage, which quite frankly, when I'm 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:43.280 done being mortgaged, I'm I'm done. Like 00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:47.040 I don't want to be like 45 and like 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:50.160 having a new mortgage. That's that I get 00:43:47.040 --> 00:43:52.720 very I get very stressed out about debt. 00:43:50.160 --> 00:43:56.160 Yeah, me too. Um I I want it to be done as quickly as possible and I have no 00:43:54.160 --> 00:43:59.440 desire to go back into debt. Um especially because I've already had all 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:06.720 the stress that I can handle with all the debt that I've had to go into on the business side of things. You've heard 00:44:02.240 --> 00:44:08.319 some of my stress about debt. Yes. 00:44:06.720 --> 00:44:12.640 So basically, Right. Okay. Okay, so problem number two is that anything with 00:44:10.640 --> 00:44:16.720 a bigger house is usually newer construction because that's in vogue 00:44:14.240 --> 00:44:20.160 now. And any newer construction, unless you're doing something custom or you're 00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:24.560 buying like like an estate, like something on like an acre or two with 00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:30.560 gardens and waterfalls and crap is pretty terrible is on a tiny lot. That 00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:32.640 too I want for the foreseeable future my 00:44:30.560 --> 00:44:35.920 kids or grandkids to have a yard to play in. And that's something that's not in 00:44:34.319 --> 00:44:40.079 fashion anymore. So, if you want a bigger house, you have to have a smaller 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:45.599 lot, unless you're willing to pay like way more money than makes any sense. So, 00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:50.079 I don't want to move. I don't want to move. I don't want to jack up my house. 00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:53.680 And I don't want to give up my office. Do you want to talk about Flip Plane? 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:57.520 Uh, we should probably do our sponsor spots first though. Funny funny thing. 00:44:55.359 --> 00:45:01.760 Uh, we have 6,400 viewers right now, which is about as many, if not more, as 00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:05.520 when we actually talk about technology. Yeah, this this was the like Lionus is 00:45:04.160 --> 00:45:10.319 trying to make up for topics, so he's going to talk very quickly and constantly show. 00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:14.240 I'm really good at it. It's worked really well. I'm not complaining. I'm 00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:17.520 just observing. Well, you know what? I mean, it's been a long time since we've 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:22.960 done a show like this where it's just like kind of life updates and that kind 00:45:19.839 --> 00:45:25.280 of stuff. This is sort of the the show 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:29.200 that I sort of pitched the other day. Yeah. The like car talk, the original 00:45:27.040 --> 00:45:33.119 car talk kind of thing. The car talk show. Yeah. We don't talk about cars. 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.640 Don't worry. It wouldn't be It wouldn't be nearly as bad as that. Okay. The idea 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:40.640 came from he would drive me home because I couldn't afford transport. Um, you 00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:43.680 could afford it. It just took a really long time. It usually wasn't running 00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:47.200 anymore by the time we were finished working. Yeah. I could I couldn't afford 00:45:45.520 --> 00:45:51.920 transport that I could take. Whole other issue. 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:56.079 Um, and then we would talk in the like actually really long time that it would 00:45:53.280 --> 00:46:01.680 take to get me home. So, that's where the idea came from. 00:45:58.560 --> 00:46:04.560 Um, okay. I fix it. Oh, what's this? We 00:46:01.680 --> 00:46:09.040 have new essential electronics tool kit, which is like a chopped down version and 00:46:07.040 --> 00:46:14.319 probably a lot cheaper. The electronics repair starter kit. You know what? Even 00:46:11.359 --> 00:46:18.400 though this is a sponsor spot, I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be pretty 00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:26.640 critical if I don't like this thing. Oh, dang. because the iFixit ProTek toolkit 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:30.960 is like actually amazing and has saved 00:46:26.640 --> 00:46:33.280 my butt a lot of times. And I am 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:39.359 personally of the mind when it comes to tools that you buy properly once and you 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:45.599 take really good care of them and you don't lose them. And that is the way to 00:46:43.359 --> 00:46:52.800 be about tools and they serve you really well for a long time. That is why 00:46:49.040 --> 00:46:56.079 This screwdriver has been in my life for 00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:58.720 almost 15 years now. This exact 00:46:56.079 --> 00:47:04.160 screwdriver. That's why I invested in a $100 screwdriver. And that's why I'm not 00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:11.760 afraid to spend the $60 or $70 or whatever it is for the ProTek toolkit. 00:47:07.680 --> 00:47:14.160 Um, now with that said, let's have a 00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:19.119 look at their value option and see what we think of it here. So, it's it's One 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:22.720 thing I like about it already is that the kit is pretty flat, which is a 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:25.839 little bit nicer for sliding into a bag. The back of it is totally flat. The 00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:29.760 front of it is a little bit of a I just mean it's thinner. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:35.280 like So, it has a magnetic I'll take that from you. Um, you can take this. I 00:47:33.359 --> 00:47:38.560 take that. Yes. Because it's Oh, no. Yours is actually fine. Oh, no. Yeah. 00:47:36.560 --> 00:47:41.200 Mine Mine's good. Uh, I wish I could kind of show this to you guys in some Do 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:46.960 you want to hold them up while I go through them? Okay. So, you get one of 00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:50.960 their plastic pry tools. If this was the original Protek tool kit, not the the 00:47:49.040 --> 00:47:53.760 new version. Oh, yeah. You have them. So, you get one of their little pry 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:57.599 tools. Then I would actually object pretty strongly to this. Um, but the new 00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:01.040 ones are a lot more durable and they don't break as often. They These guys 00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:06.240 are pretty smart, though. You push here and it pops up. I think it's the bottom 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:10.640 for all of them, which is kind of cool. Um, you get one pair of tweezers, and 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:16.240 I'll give them credit. This is the only pair that I use. the the angled uh sharp 00:48:14.160 --> 00:48:19.920 nose ones. And I've used this for everything from grabbing a screw out of 00:48:18.640 --> 00:48:24.240 somewhere that's hard to reach, like a non-magnetic screw, to I've actually 00:48:21.839 --> 00:48:28.160 used it for motherboard socket repair. Oh, wow. It's fine enough that I was 00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:31.119 able to get in there. I I didn't have a needle on me, which is my preferred tool 00:48:29.680 --> 00:48:35.440 for that. Yeah. And I was able to make do with this. I've had to do it with 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:40.800 like a credit card before. I've made it work. That's terrible. I know. Um you've 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:45.839 got their uh Oh, there it goes. They've got their pry tool, the the little like 00:48:42.640 --> 00:48:47.520 knot sharp knifey tool. Uh I believe 00:48:45.839 --> 00:48:52.000 these ones are what are actually called spudgers. I can never remember. But 00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:56.079 anyway, it's got like um like a like a prying thing on one side and then it's 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:59.920 got a pokey thing on the other end. Uh use that for everything from what's it 00:48:58.319 --> 00:49:03.680 called? Yeah, that is called a spudger. Uh everything from like pressing reset 00:49:01.839 --> 00:49:09.359 buttons and routers to pretty much you name it. This is enough stuff outside of 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:13.119 a like heat gun to replace the sc uh 00:49:09.359 --> 00:49:14.880 screen on a Pixel. Um some guitar picks, 00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:17.920 which is pretty solid. Suction cup. The suction cup is actually something I was 00:49:16.319 --> 00:49:22.079 pretty upset was not included with the original Protek Toolkit. So, it's nice 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:25.280 to see that. Um it's enough to work on a phone, not enough to work on like an 00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:29.599 iMac or something, but that's why I called out the Pixel. All right. Now, 00:49:27.359 --> 00:49:33.760 let's look let's look at the bits here because that is that is what I'm pretty 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:41.920 worried about. So, you've got torques from T4 to TR10, 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:47.760 and the R ones are the security torques. That'll cover taking apart SSDs, um, 00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:50.760 many, many laptops. Um, 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:58.960 no tri-wing. No Tri-wing. I'm pretty disappointed that there's no T-wing. Uh, 00:49:57.520 --> 00:50:03.359 that means you won't be repairing any Nintendo devices, though. Nintendo are 00:50:01.520 --> 00:50:08.480 the main ones that I know of that use Tri-Wing. Uh you've got a P2 and a P5 00:50:06.160 --> 00:50:13.520 pentalobe, so that should take care of your Apple needs. Um you've got a couple 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.760 slots, three slots, including a very, very, very slim one. A SIM removal. See, 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:22.079 I would have rather seen a tri-wing instead of the SIM removal, but for some 00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:25.760 people, I guess that'll be handy. I do like that they have the SIM removal. And 00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:29.599 F, you use the SIM removal. Okay. Well, I carry like a handful of SIM removal 00:50:27.520 --> 00:50:33.440 tools in my backpack otherwise. So maybe that's why I don't For the last while, 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:36.800 I've finally freed myself, thank goodness. But for the last while, I've 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:40.160 been using Sony phones, right? And they don't need them. Okay. So, I would never 00:50:38.640 --> 00:50:43.040 have one on me. And if I did actually happen to need one, I would just go to 00:50:41.680 --> 00:50:48.319 And then you've got five Phillips head all the way from triple0 to two. So, if 00:50:45.839 --> 00:50:51.839 I were to give iFixit some constructive feedback, which I'm sure they're not 00:50:50.160 --> 00:50:57.119 asking for during a sponsored spot, but if I were to do so, I would drop the 00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:02.160 size two Phillips and I would drop the SIM removal tool and I would replace 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:09.599 those with a couple Tri- Wings. But then again, that's probably like the gamer 00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:11.760 centric thinking part of me. And like 00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:17.119 not just because I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but they don't break that much. 00:51:15.359 --> 00:51:22.000 I just put a new optical drive in my Wii. Yeah, you The only DS I've ever 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:26.400 owned had the shoulder buttons die just like everyone else's DS. They don't 00:51:23.520 --> 00:51:29.760 break that much for normal people. All I played was Mario Kart. We we we 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:33.680 talked How long ago did we talk about this? I don't know. You can fix 00:51:32.160 --> 00:51:37.520 everything, but everything breaks around you. 00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:41.760 It's not even his fault. He'll just like be near it and it will stop for stop 00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:45.760 working for literally no apparent reason at all. Like the Wancho computer. Why 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:51.200 did it have so many problems? I have literally no idea. 00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:54.640 I stream like a lot. Like it doesn't I don't have I don't know anyone that has 00:51:53.040 --> 00:51:57.599 the amount of problems that we've had. I don't know anyone that has like a tenth 00:51:56.160 --> 00:52:02.079 the amount of problems that we had. And every single time it would just be like 00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:05.760 what the heck is going on? And he'd find some like weird way and it would fix it 00:52:03.680 --> 00:52:09.839 and it would be like oh okay great. But but we shouldn't have had to do that. 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:14.319 Exactly. I don't I don't know. So, the screwdriver is their old style, which I 00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:19.920 definitely don't prefer, but is still functional. Um, and a pro tip for those 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:22.880 of you who are using it. Yeah, this is actually pretty important. You want to 00:52:21.200 --> 00:52:27.359 jam things in the top whenever you need more torque. Yes, that's how you do it 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:33.760 cuz these rubber O-rings slip. Yes. So, overall, that will save you at the price 00:52:30.319 --> 00:52:37.200 at 20 bucks. Not bad. 20 bucks. Not bad. 00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:40.559 This will cover what casuals will need. 00:52:37.200 --> 00:52:43.920 Uh, but I personally, and again, like it 00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:47.119 is my job to sell this today, but I sort 00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:49.760 of don't care. I personally would go for 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:54.640 the Protek tool kit anyway, just because I think that at that price, it's pretty 00:52:52.319 --> 00:52:59.119 reasonable considering that that's kind of it's like in that it's in that magic 00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:03.599 how much money you would have to spend if you paid someone to repair your 00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:09.040 stupid thing. Anyway, yeah, that being said, if you're shopping for 00:53:07.359 --> 00:53:14.400 someone, 20 bucks, that's true. Christmas, not a 00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:18.960 bad drop. Get them started. Not as good as the Protek Toolkit, but it's not 00:53:15.839 --> 00:53:20.960 supposed to be. Yep. Okay, that's fair. 00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:24.240 Um, okay. We have another sponsor spot that I promise will be shorter. I'm 00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:27.520 sorry that turned into like an unboxing. Are you sure? Well, I don't know if 00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:34.079 it'll be short. Yeah, you could talk about this thing forever. Literally forever. We should get the background 00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:39.680 first. First he bought one. Yes. Then they didn't deliver it forever. 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.839 Then Colton was like, "Hey, who should we work with?" And he's like, "Yeah, 00:53:40.640 --> 00:53:46.960 I've loved this thing. It's so amazing. I don't even have it yet, but I'm already in love with it. My pants are so 00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:51.359 tight right now." Pretty much. Um, so they reached out and they sent us one 00:53:49.040 --> 00:53:56.079 before Luke ever even got one. Buy a lot again. Um, so I had to bring it back to 00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:01.040 work. Oh, that was so heartbreaking. Anyways, when you're cooking uh meat, 00:53:59.200 --> 00:54:04.559 which isn't at all the only thing that you can cook in with this thing. Uh but 00:54:03.359 --> 00:54:09.040 you haven't even said what it is. It's it's so it is a sousie cooker, but like 00:54:07.359 --> 00:54:14.720 an immersion cooker, but like almost no one knows what that actually means unless they already have one. Um when 00:54:12.319 --> 00:54:19.680 you're when you're cooking meats, you what you're the goal is to make the the 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:23.040 the whole thing get to a minimum temperature, including the very middle, 00:54:21.520 --> 00:54:27.440 which is rather difficult to do. and you're using heat that is much higher 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:34.960 than what you're actually trying to get to. I'm just mouththing sousvid cuz it's 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:37.839 fun. Um, so you usually will overheat 00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:42.160 the outside just to get to the temperature that you're trying to get to 00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:48.000 in the middle. Um what a suvid allows you to do is you you vacuum seal or 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:53.760 evacuate the air out of a ziploc bag so that the ziplockc bag is touching right 00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:56.400 next to um the meat and then you dip it 00:54:53.760 --> 00:55:00.319 into water. The sousvid cooker is extremely precise and will keep the 00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:03.359 water at an extremely Hold on. Actually this is really important. We interrupt 00:55:01.680 --> 00:55:08.400 this program to bring you this question from RT Chaser07. Can you cook hot 00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:13.599 pockets in it? Uh I think you could. I think you could you 00:55:11.040 --> 00:55:17.200 can't cook a turkey unless you cut it first and then you can cook it. Okay. 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:21.119 Sorry. Carry on. Yeah. Yeah. You can't cook a turkey because there would be 00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:26.720 like pockets in there. Mhm. Because of where like this organs are or would have 00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.119 been or would have been. So like that wouldn't really work because the heat 00:55:28.319 --> 00:55:33.440 wouldn't be able to go all the way through. Okay. Carry on. Carry on. It 00:55:31.359 --> 00:55:37.599 makes it essentially So all that you have to do is put like your meat and 00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:41.280 some herbs and spices in a little bag with some olive oil. I always put my 00:55:39.359 --> 00:55:46.240 meat in a bag with olive oil. Put that in a pot, put this thing in it, and in 00:55:43.520 --> 00:55:50.559 the app, which is amazing. Go like, I want it to look like that. It has a 00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:56.720 visual dness thing. And then it just does it for you. You sear it for like 20 00:55:53.839 --> 00:56:01.359 seconds, serve, and it will probably be one of the best cooks of that meat that 00:55:59.200 --> 00:56:04.079 you've had. Yeah, it is actually really good. And it's available now for holiday 00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:09.440 gifting. Check it out at chefsteps.com/jwel, 00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:14.079 which is probably good because I ordered mine a long time ago and I finally got 00:56:11.200 --> 00:56:18.079 it.

Yeah, I 00:57:54.319 --> 00:58:01.440 wouldn't buy for Colton. Sorry, Colton's wife. What a jerk. I don't know if I can 00:57:58.799 --> 00:58:08.880 say your name. Hate that guy. Um, all right. So, another funny story. We have 00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:12.640 more We have more viewers now than we 00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:15.119 did before we started doing ad spots. 00:58:12.640 --> 00:58:20.960 I'm convinced that the more that the more fun we have just like 00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:24.079 having fun of like Okay, I was actually ready to make fun of that keyboard. Like 00:58:22.640 --> 00:58:30.480 I was super ready for that. But it was sweet. But it was actually pretty good. Anyway, I'm convinced that that the more 00:58:27.520 --> 00:58:34.559 fun if that's what you're going for, the closer it is to being just as off topic 00:58:32.640 --> 00:58:38.480 as the entire rest of the show, then you can't tell the difference cuz you're 00:58:36.640 --> 00:58:42.160 like, "Wow, they're pretty informal about these ads. 00:58:40.240 --> 00:58:47.400 They're literally like attacking the companies that are giving them ads. 00:58:47.520 --> 00:58:55.040 Look, if if they wanted a professional ad 00:58:51.520 --> 00:58:56.960 read, they know where to go for that. 00:58:55.040 --> 00:59:02.240 And if they and if they want this approach, then by all means, give us 00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:08.400 money. Yeah, why not? There you go. Um, okay. Let's talk about the float playing 00:59:05.520 --> 00:59:13.359 club. So, you finally get a topic today. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going Linus' screen. I'm 00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:16.400 putting us in the background. This is all about I'm just gonna illustrate 00:59:15.040 --> 00:59:22.240 whatever it is you're talking about here. Okay. So, under the forums 00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:25.760 section, you'll see the hub and the hub is where like we expect most people on 00:59:24.240 --> 00:59:30.400 the site to go because, you know, holy crap, go away. Off topic is there. And 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:34.160 there's almost 1.2 million posts because it's off topic. And there's like the 00:59:32.319 --> 00:59:38.400 memes thread and the cars thread and the holy crap, that's a big thread. Anime 00:59:36.240 --> 00:59:42.240 cards is still pretty good. It is. Yeah, it is. But off topic. Off topic is 00:59:40.319 --> 00:59:47.680 ginormous. But there's also the Floatplane club. Rip vessel. Whoa. What? What 00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:50.240 is that? What? Oh. Oh, that is so like 00:59:47.680 --> 00:59:55.760 savage, man. Rip vessel. Rip vessel. Savage. Anyways, so you can go in there. 00:59:54.400 --> 01:00:00.640 Well, I'm working on it. Okay. I'm trying to make your terrible sight look 00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:05.760 good. Wow. No, I just I noticed No, the output is 01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:08.880 1080p, but I'm high DPI, so like it was it was a little small for them to see 01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:14.799 us. Okay. Okay, I'm just bugging you. Oh, I'm just bugging you. It's okay. 01:00:11.680 --> 01:00:17.520 We're still friends. Hello, darkness, my 01:00:14.799 --> 01:00:20.960 old friend. Um, anyways, this is the Floatplane club and we have an 01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:24.240 interesting announcement for you guys. I wonder if Eric and Catboy boiler are 01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:30.720 just screaming right now because they're like everything's going to break. Uh, 01:00:26.720 --> 01:00:33.200 Eric the tech guru and cat boiler the uh 01:00:30.720 --> 01:00:36.640 amazing dude but should probably get a different name. Yeah, I mean it's 01:00:34.640 --> 01:00:41.280 against our ter it's against our forum like uh terms to change your username, 01:00:39.440 --> 01:00:45.040 but cat boiler, you have my personal permission. Yeah, I'll change it for you 01:00:43.040 --> 01:00:49.040 if you think. Apparently, it came out of a name generator and also like a cat 01:00:47.359 --> 01:00:52.400 almost like killed him when he was younger. 01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:55.839 Cut his artery or something. Okay. It was like actually a big deal. I don't 01:00:53.680 --> 01:01:00.079 Sorry if I screwed up the story. Okay, anyways, they have been absolutely 01:00:57.680 --> 01:01:04.240 great. Uh, Catboy boiler came in and was like, "Hey, so I have an idea for how 01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:08.880 you should do everything." And I read it and I was like, "You haven't explained what this is." Holy crap, it's a lot 01:01:06.720 --> 01:01:14.079 better than ours. So, RIP Vessel, we tried to make our own. 01:01:11.200 --> 01:01:18.480 So, I guess that's actually like right now it's a sub forum on the Linus Tech 01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:22.480 Tips forum. It won't always be that. It will not always be that because that 01:01:20.160 --> 01:01:26.880 sucks. Yeah, that's we we're aware that this is not the ideal solution. like 01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:30.799 there aren't there's not a graceful way to give people notifications. Are we 01:01:29.520 --> 01:01:35.280 going to show them like an early vid? They're they're able to see all the videos here for one, so they know what 01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:40.240 videos are coming up. Yeah. I don't know if we thought about that. That's fine. One of my favorite ones to show off is 01:01:38.319 --> 01:01:44.480 Brandon's cuz whenever he films anything, it looks better than all the 01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:48.160 other videos because he's filming and editing. He cares more about his own 01:01:45.680 --> 01:01:52.319 stuff. Yeah, basically. So, check this out. Notice how it's orange. The color's 01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:55.440 a little off. We're going to fix that. Yeah, I did not notice it was orange. I 01:01:54.079 --> 01:02:01.839 thought it was just like a broken YouTube clone. We'll figure it out. 01:01:57.839 --> 01:02:05.280 Okay. Okay. So, right now, what we are 01:02:01.839 --> 01:02:07.680 about to witness is a video running off 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:11.920 of Can How much detail can you give them about this like solution you guys 01:02:09.839 --> 01:02:18.240 clutched together in like three weeks? Cat boiler back end is is boiler. Yeah, 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:22.079 100%. So, it's we have edge servers. Yeah. That are like distributing things. 01:02:20.319 --> 01:02:26.240 So, H I'm going to be light about the 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:31.119 details for now just because can they expect a video about how it works at 01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:33.599 some point? Yeah. Okay. Okay. But give 01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:36.880 us some give us some idea how you have we have a little bit of load balancing 01:02:35.200 --> 01:02:40.079 going on. We have we have the edge servers that don't really use their CPUs 01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:45.359 very much. Are they all on the same continent? They all are currently in the 01:02:42.640 --> 01:02:49.040 same continent. They will not always be, but we haven't figured out geo targeting 01:02:47.040 --> 01:02:52.160 yet. So once that gets figured out, then we'll spawn some in other areas. but 01:02:50.720 --> 01:02:56.559 they're all North America right now. That being said, I do know outside of 01:02:54.720 --> 01:03:01.760 North America people that have watched full bit rate 1080p streams and had no 01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:06.160 problem at all. So, I'm pretty sure it's fine. Um, but we will make it better for 01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:11.760 people. We're going to make it great again. We're going to make uh early 01:03:09.680 --> 01:03:16.240 access private high bit rate video streams great again. Um, should I should 01:03:14.640 --> 01:03:21.920 I just Should I just uh watch it watch it totally break? 01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:27.039 Oh no. Oh god. Oh, it's horrible. Oh, of 01:03:25.680 --> 01:03:32.079 course. Do you think one of them was literally breaking it in the background so that we would have to go through 01:03:29.839 --> 01:03:35.520 this? Maybe. I'm on edge. Is that a problem? Oh god, that might be a 01:03:33.359 --> 01:03:40.680 problem. Who goes on edge? Oh, right. We had to do that. That makes sense. Uh, 01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:47.920 anyways, the other part of the story is that it's still very much in 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:51.599 development. It's alpha. Yeah, it's alpha right now. Okay. Can you can you 01:03:49.680 --> 01:03:56.000 do the thing? Can I uh you know the thing? Uh no, I don't have your sharing 01:03:53.359 --> 01:03:59.520 working right now anyway. So, uh bear with me. I'm going to I'm going to do 01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:02.559 this thing. I don't have your screen sharing working right now. No, I just 01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:07.760 want to see if it works on me. Uh no, no, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. We got this. We got this. 01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:13.359 Okay, you by time. By time. Anyways, so we've been developing this thing. How it 01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:15.119 started uh was that people that were on 01:04:13.359 --> 01:04:18.480 Vessel were served a video right before Vessel went down saying that they could 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:21.520 sign up for a newsletter. And we sent an email to those people saying like, "Hey, 01:04:20.160 --> 01:04:25.200 we're trying to do this." We tried to send an email to We tried. It only 01:04:23.200 --> 01:04:30.319 worked for some of them. Uh because we got super flagged pretty quick. Um we're 01:04:28.799 --> 01:04:36.559 trying to do this thing. It's in early production right now, but what you're going to be able to do is download the 01:04:33.200 --> 01:04:38.559 videos um at probably lower resolution, 01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:43.920 but much much higher bit rate. Like our 720p looked better than YouTube's 1080p 01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:50.000 right away. And that still works even if this continues to not work. Um which 01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:53.000 would be, you know, pretty good. There 01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:59.599 we go. Okay, so that's 360p, 01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:04.960 which I mean they're watching on Twitch. We can chance it again. And see, there 01:05:02.720 --> 01:05:09.839 you go. Oh, look at that. Look at that black bar. Brandon magic. Yeah. Okay. 01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:13.599 So, like, okay, here we go. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, dang. Oh, we're Oh, we're 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:16.559 stepping it up to 48. So, this it does that weird thing. So, we're going to 01:05:15.200 --> 01:05:21.359 maybe try to figure that out at some point. Yes. Yes. Step it up again. Step 01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:29.359 it up. 720p. Stepping it. Step it. Step it. Step. Stepping. Oh, is that 720p 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:31.200 stream 720p stream? Oh, damn. Do 1080. 01:05:29.359 --> 01:05:35.200 Do the last do the last step. Hold on. Should we Should we show off the uh risk 01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:39.839 it the thumbnail thumbnail preview? Oh. Oh. Thumbnail scrubbing. Thumbnail 01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:43.200 scrubbing. Hold on. I want to see Brandon touch that camera. So, let's 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:47.440 skip to that part. Oh, look at that buffer speed. Oh, beautiful. Oh, look at 01:05:45.839 --> 01:05:53.599 it. Look at it buffered. It's playing. Look at that. Oh, yes. This isn't even 01:05:49.200 --> 01:05:55.760 1080p either. Hold on. 01:05:53.599 --> 01:06:00.799 It takes a sec. Give it a sec. Give it a second. Hold on. Wait. There you go. Oh. 01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:04.319 Oh. Oh. Oh. We are live. We are live at 1080p. Look at Brandon touching that 01:06:02.799 --> 01:06:08.880 camera. Look at him. Oh, he's like massaging. I could watch Brandon touch 01:06:06.079 --> 01:06:14.480 cameras all day. And it's touchscreen. Wow. Brandon could touch my touchcreen 01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:18.240 any day. Look, it's a 50D versus a Wait, 01:06:14.480 --> 01:06:21.839 look, it's a 60D versus a 5D. Anyways, 01:06:18.240 --> 01:06:24.640 so Eric has done a ton of work on like 01:06:21.839 --> 01:06:29.520 the CMS so that like Nick and other people in the office can naturally 01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:31.280 upload videos to this thing. Um, and 01:06:29.520 --> 01:06:35.839 he's done work in other spaces as well, like getting the transcoding stuff to 01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:40.079 work. Cat boiler has been all over the place in terms of how everything works. 01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:44.880 He's boiling cats over here, boiling cats over there. He he like cats 01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:49.039 that are already boiled over there. he theorized and actually did the whole 01:06:47.359 --> 01:06:54.000 like actual infrastructure which makes this work at all which is great. Um 01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:58.720 Mortise has been really helpful guiding over the whole time he's like in school 01:06:55.440 --> 01:07:00.480 and stuff right now but in his the very 01:06:58.720 --> 01:07:03.440 limited spare time he's actually done a lot in trying to like help guide how 01:07:02.319 --> 01:07:08.240 it's going to integrate with the forum and all this kind of stuff and then he's going to be a much bigger part of it uh 01:07:06.720 --> 01:07:12.799 over the next little while once his school's in kind of a break. 01:07:10.720 --> 01:07:17.359 So, people have been really busting their butts getting this working and 01:07:15.200 --> 01:07:22.880 it's working. Tech side of things, these guys have been unbelievable. Yeah. Um, 01:07:20.640 --> 01:07:27.359 but what we actually still haven't quite figured out is the business side of 01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:31.440 things. Oh, yeah. What we're actually going to do with the technology. I 01:07:30.160 --> 01:07:36.559 haven't been worried about that part at all. So what so what we what we want um 01:07:34.720 --> 01:07:40.240 because Flowplane Club is three bucks a month right now and it's only but it's 01:07:38.720 --> 01:07:44.079 only for Linus Media Group stuff. We have no way of having other content 01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:47.920 creators on the platform like it's just through the forum. Everything someone 01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:51.200 just asked if cat boiler uses a sousvid cooker. Sousvid cookers don't boil. I 01:07:49.680 --> 01:07:54.480 just needed to I just needed to You had to say I just had to Okay. Well, I'm 01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:59.520 glad you clarified that. Thank you. And I don't think they have a setting for 01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:01.760 whole cat anyway. No. Um okay. So, we we 01:07:59.520 --> 01:08:08.160 still don't know exactly what we're going to do with it, but the objectives 01:08:04.799 --> 01:08:10.799 are pretty clear. We want members of the 01:08:08.160 --> 01:08:17.279 Floatplane club, which will likely serve the same kind of purpose, at least 01:08:13.520 --> 01:08:20.000 for now, for Linus Media Group, as 01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:26.239 something like Patreon and Vessel kind of rolled into one. Um, and we're going 01:08:23.440 --> 01:08:31.279 to be combining it with the existing contributor badge system that we had on 01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:33.839 the Linus TechTips forum so that you can 01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:37.759 start to um, so so for example, bronze, silver, and gold contributors already 01:08:35.440 --> 01:08:41.520 get Floatplane club access. Yeah. But bronze contributors who are paying $5 a 01:08:39.759 --> 01:08:45.920 month also get no banner ads on the forum. So, we're going to try and figure 01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:51.199 out how to turn flowplane club and forum contributors 01:08:49.040 --> 01:08:54.480 into some kind of a larger sort of system that would take the place of what 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:58.880 something like a Patreon and something like a vessel would have in the past for 01:08:56.480 --> 01:09:03.679 us. Um, so we're trying to think of like other ways to give benefits to other 01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:06.960 people on the platform. And should we talk about some of those ideas? Yeah, so 01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:10.960 some of the benefits I'm just going to stick to uh Floatplane club benefits 01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:16.880 for now. So some of those benefits include early access. Although what's 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:22.159 kind of cool and also makes it not as compelling about this is that we are way 01:09:19.440 --> 01:09:27.359 dialing back the way that we're handling early access. So if we think something's 01:09:25.040 --> 01:09:33.120 time-sensitive, it's going simultaneous release because there's no contractual 01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:34.799 obligation anymore for us to release um 01:09:33.120 --> 01:09:38.640 things one week early on on this platform. So that's that has been 01:09:37.040 --> 01:09:42.480 frustrating for both sides of the equation. Yeah. Um sometimes there would 01:09:40.719 --> 01:09:46.239 be something that like we really thought should have been pretty timely, but we 01:09:44.080 --> 01:09:50.400 had done too many simultaneous releases in a short window. So we like couldn't 01:09:48.719 --> 01:09:53.759 release it simultaneous and it was like okay that's pretty rough. People really 01:09:52.239 --> 01:10:00.560 need to see this on YouTube because it's like an embargo product that just came out. So benefit number one is we want to 01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:04.560 manage the our releases better. Benefit and that that's for everyone. Uh benefit 01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:09.440 number two is we want to provide a higher quality stream than what you can 01:10:06.400 --> 01:10:11.040 get on YouTube for free. Um and I mean 01:10:09.440 --> 01:10:14.480 that in the sense that it won't have any bakedin ads anymore. So our pre-roll and 01:10:13.120 --> 01:10:20.159 our integration ads at the end, those will be gone. And we want the quality to 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:25.520 look better. Benefit number three is for the foreseeable future, we want to 01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:28.239 continue to offer downloads DRM free to 01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:32.400 Floatplane club members. So and what I would love to figure out and it it's not 01:10:30.400 --> 01:10:36.239 complicated. It's just a matter of getting it together. Um, is how to make 01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:41.520 it so people could just subscribe to an RSS feed, download the video, and drop 01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:44.800 it into Plex with all the metadata populated so they could watch it off 01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:49.679 their Plex server. Yeah. For Flow Plane Club members, we would consider for 01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:52.239 personal use that to be within the 01:10:49.679 --> 01:10:56.800 license that they have for the content for personal use, but yeah, that they're 01:10:53.920 --> 01:11:00.640 subscribed to for personal use. Um so DRM free is another one of the benefits 01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:05.280 that we want to have for this whole concept. And then uh there was another 01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:10.880 one that I was thinking right. And then finally um at some point in the future 01:11:08.480 --> 01:11:16.400 we would like to find a way to make it ad supported. And I this is getting way 01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:22.000 ahead of ourselves I know. We would like to find some way to make it ad supported 01:11:18.719 --> 01:11:24.560 so that the benefit could be for us that 01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:28.480 we are able to pull people off platform ad supported for people who aren't Yes. 01:11:26.719 --> 01:11:32.640 Flow plane members. Yes. Just to make that optionally ad supported. Yeah. So 01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:38.080 if you like a free tier that ad supported. Yeah. Um so the benefit for 01:11:35.040 --> 01:11:40.000 us would be that we actually 01:11:38.080 --> 01:11:45.440 engage directly with our viewers and the benefit for viewers would be no more 01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:50.400 YouTube subscription box nonsense. 01:11:45.440 --> 01:11:53.199 Um so that is that is where we are kind 01:11:50.400 --> 01:11:56.320 of and that's a big maybe. That's a huge maybe because it depends. We would 01:11:54.800 --> 01:12:00.560 probably have to double or triple our sales team. We would have to get other 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:06.159 creators on board. Um, there would be a lot of things we would have to do, but 01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:07.280 we have we have some interesting tech. 01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:13.040 We just need to figure out how to do with it, what to how to do with it, how 01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:15.040 to English it at all. Um, 01:12:13.040 --> 01:12:18.239 and that's where uh that's kind of that's kind of where we're at on it. I 01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:22.880 haven't actually been paying close attention to what Twitch chat has had to 01:12:20.480 --> 01:12:27.199 say about it, but basically 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:30.480 um yeah, I mean, what what else is there to say? I mean, there's a lot of stuff 01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:35.679 still to be worked on. Like, one thing is if if you're if you load the thread 01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:39.280 and you look at the video and stuff, it all works. And then if you go to like 01:12:37.679 --> 01:12:42.320 the last page of the thread and then back to the first page of the thread, it 01:12:40.719 --> 01:12:48.480 won't work anymore. You have to refresh. Yeah. And like we know why and we'll 01:12:45.360 --> 01:12:50.960 figure it out. Um, the downloads thing 01:12:48.480 --> 01:12:54.159 is a little janky right now, but that is actually very close to being finished. 01:12:52.239 --> 01:12:59.199 Catboy has been figuring that out. Um, just like everything else. Um, so like 01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:04.880 there's there's still a bunch of work to be done, but it's it's coming along 01:13:02.239 --> 01:13:09.280 incredibly fast and it's already to be completely honest a pretty good 01:13:07.120 --> 01:13:15.440 experience. Um, there are some problems like I know Jake was using an iPhone 6S 01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:20.800 with Chrome installed and it didn't seem to work for him. So there's like some 01:13:17.120 --> 01:13:22.400 use cases that don't work super awesome. 01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:27.840 I wonder if they have changed some stuff. What do you mean? 01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:31.120 because uh this isn't playing on Safari right now either and I played one 01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:36.880 yesterday. One thing that we need to do is get a dev server. Um 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:42.080 because we're doing live changes on everything. So when things break it's 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:44.080 just like oh crap. Uh everyone has that 01:13:42.080 --> 01:13:47.520 version right now. Uh so we'll be getting a dev server soon. It's still 01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:51.679 all very early on. We're what like three weeks in. Well did it? Yeah. No, that 01:13:50.719 --> 01:13:56.000 was a different thing. Sorry I was looking at something else. Okay. That was a YouTube video cuz I definitely 01:13:54.320 --> 01:14:00.080 showed this to my dad like the other day. Yeah. So, I don't know. Still 01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:05.520 figuring it out, but it's coming along incredibly fast. Um, 01:14:03.679 --> 01:14:08.640 and on a desktop at least, it seems to work fairly well. If you do have a 01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:15.280 problem, refresh the page. If that doesn't fix it, uh, let us know. Yeah. 01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:22.080 Uh, it definitely works on Android. So if you're like 01:14:17.840 --> 01:14:25.280 like Chrome on Android or Chrome on 01:14:22.080 --> 01:14:27.840 Windows, then you're good. Yeah, those 01:14:25.280 --> 01:14:31.360 ones are the main tested things, which is probably the most of our views. So 01:14:29.440 --> 01:14:35.199 yeah, I just I wanted to demo it working on 01:14:33.199 --> 01:14:41.840 mobile. I was trying to do that and it didn't fly. 01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:44.719 Here we go. Look at it go. 1080p mobile. 01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:48.880 Yay. So it's working on Android. Yeah, which is why I always carry an iPhone 01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:53.120 and an Android phone. So, I think everyone should do that for for float 01:14:51.440 --> 01:14:56.800 play. That way I can have better an better Instagram experience on my 01:14:54.800 --> 01:15:01.120 iPhone. There you go. And I can watch Floatplane videos on my uh on my 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:06.080 Android phone. We'll figure that out at some point. Um 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:11.920 Okay. Yeah. So, do we have any like actual topics for this week? 01:15:08.719 --> 01:15:13.760 Uh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:19.520 Xbox One streaming comes to the Oculus Rift on December 12th. 01:15:16.320 --> 01:15:21.760 Um, does anyone care? 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:26.320 I mean, I don't know. Free update. Well, it 01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:30.000 better be free. I don't think anyone's going to pay for it. I hate I really, 01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:34.080 really hate this like kind of description of virtual reality. The uh 01:15:32.159 --> 01:15:39.600 free update will allow users to play Xbox One games in front of a huge 01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:43.600 virtual display. Have you ever had that feeling in VR 01:15:42.080 --> 01:15:48.080 when you're like, "Wow, this is a big screen." Like, have you ever felt that? 01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:52.960 Yeah, actually. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I'll buy that. I've had the experience that 01:15:50.320 --> 01:15:59.040 this is a huge uh relatively low definition virtual display. Like in like 01:15:55.920 --> 01:16:00.560 in a like a theater mode. I hate theater 01:15:59.040 --> 01:16:03.600 mode. Yeah. No, I don't I didn't say I like it. I just said I felt like it was 01:16:02.080 --> 01:16:07.840 a really big virtual display. I didn't think it was a great experience. Yeah. 01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:11.920 So, like is that the view? because that's rough. Yeah, I think it's 01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:16.239 supposed to be like um I think it's you're supposed to be like sitting in 01:16:13.280 --> 01:16:21.040 like a cool like harbor or something and then you play a game on like this it 01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:25.679 yeah I don't think it's a very I don't think a lot of people are going to do that. It's like, yes, I want something 01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:30.400 on my face so I can play Xbox games. And like, you own a Rift, 01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:35.840 meaning, and that was Forza, so you own a Rift and a PC and a game that works on 01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:43.760 PC, but you're going to run it on your Xbox and use your Rift on your Xbox and 01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:48.800 play it in that house thing. 01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:51.600 What?
