and we're live ladies and gentlemen who
0:05
are we kidding we're live gentlemen
0:09
um and lady i don't know your mom might be watching
0:13
that's possible your mom's probably watching yeah yeah
0:16
uh we've got a great show for you guys today actually we've got a great show
0:20
for you guys today Jake did the WAN Show document so other than that it's a great
0:25
show so we're gonna go super tangent off the dock
0:28
we're just not even gonna use the doc because i'm all about demoralizing
0:32
the people who work here yeah that's what it's all about and
0:36
you know as much fun as it is to demoralize james it had kind of lost its
0:41
its shine yeah but we need a new person
0:44
every once in a while we want someone new to work on the WAN Show doc so that
0:48
we can crush their soul uh so today it's Jake um god actually oh oh oh this is
0:54
cool so topics today
0:57
we're going to probably kick it off with impressions of the samsung galaxy
1:02
s9 see that's actually an s8 but you'd
1:05
never know the difference yeah i was like
1:09
other than the deep brown skin um and like the very minor camera differences
1:13
on the back flippy the burger flipping robot started working at caliburger in
1:18
california we'll go through what a burger flipping robot means and how
1:22
effective it was the source for that article was master disaster so i'm
1:25
assuming that Jake wrote it himself um also there's uh newegg customers in
1:30
connecticut receiving tax bills because newegg didn't charge them sales tax
1:34
sorry Jake and uh modders were able to put
1:39
coffee-like cpus into skylake and kb lake motherboards uh to a well certain
1:44
degree of success which is actually kind of crazy so why don't we roll the intro
1:48
and we'll get on with the show where theoretically we'll talk about all those
1:53
things that we just talked about that we're going to talk about but actually
1:56
we're probably going to end up talking about something else we sometimes do it
2:24
we got that fresh food we got that
2:28
savage jerky
2:31
hooray yeah baby all right so we're gonna kick things off with the
2:35
most important news this week Linus cat
2:39
tips the youtube channel um that has videos of my cat including
2:44
this fantastic one right here that i uploaded yesterday uh it's got my cat i
2:50
was trying to well you can probably figure out based on the tile tile back
2:54
wall there what i was trying to do so i was trying to do that right and um
2:58
you know the cat decided that he had already done that needed somewhere to
3:01
wipe his butt decided on my hair
3:04
um so this is the hundred thousand hundred thousand subscriber update for
3:08
Linus cat tip it's got 120 000 views
3:11
best performing video on this channel of all time
3:14
and the big news here though is that Linus cat tips the most
3:19
important channel at Linus media group has crossed
3:23
a hundred thousand subscribers i'm surprised you have a b minus meaning
3:28
meaning that well it's probably just because of the last couple of days right
3:33
okay where it went from 85 000 subscribers well okay we should go we
3:37
should probably go all the way back to here so this is when the ncix bankruptcy
3:41
auction vlog hit Floatplane okay yeah so we got you know
3:46
1500 or so subscribers like normally it actually does grow like let's look at
3:50
the full monthly statistics here social day is a great site for creeping on
3:54
youtube channels by the way you guys it's awesome you can like see how many
3:57
subs they get how many views they get this is bs don't trust it believe me um
4:04
like i mean any number that's like well somewhere between 77 cents and 12
4:08
dollars imagine you were able to pay for things like that yeah
4:13
imagine you walked into mcdonald's it's like yeah a super value menu it costs
4:16
anywhere between uh you know 69 cents and
4:19
18 bucks yeah like uh you don't know until you're checking out that's right
4:25
you know what hold on a second just gave him a bad
4:28
idea this is i should not have said anything micro transaction restaurants
4:32
loot box loot box the restaurant
4:36
oh it's actually brilliant so you don't
4:39
know so you take away all the like ugh i don't know what to pick off the menu
4:43
because you don't well no because it's wait yeah so you get what you pick like
4:48
one of three different tiers of loot box and so you might end up yeah so you get
4:52
the the five dollar loot box or it's like a single serving double serving or
4:57
like three-course meal loot box wow
5:02
and so i'd probably go so some people are gonna because like gaming themed
5:07
establishments are totally a thing for the most part bars i guess
5:11
yeah there's a lot of gaming bars okay but the gaming the loot box restaurant where
5:17
you go in and like sometimes you're going to get like a sort of like
5:21
adequate meal and then other times you're going to get like the freaking
5:25
you know diamond armor whatever crap is popular horse armor sure yeah yeah yeah
5:30
edition yeah yeah yeah and then people are going to get horse armor anymore
5:35
good reference though good reference though shut up i like you great um
5:45
but yeah and then sometimes it'll you'll spend like a considerable amount of meal
5:48
it'll literally just be like a day old mcdonald's
5:52
no i don't know about that but you gotta add some junk no you'd either
5:56
get okay you could get like an adequate meal
5:59
or you could get like like something really nice and it like comes with
6:04
actual like gamer loot like it could come with like an amiibo oh oh
6:08
right or like t-shirts because remember the thing about loot
6:12
boxes is that you're you already know you're kind of paying too much so no the
6:16
base meal is already decent
6:20
then you might get loot and so effectively the people who just get a
6:24
meal are subsidizing the people who get like something freaking out a little bit
6:28
more overall but there's a chance you're gonna get some cool games just like a loot box yeah i like that that's
6:33
probably way more reasonable than dale mcdonald's um there's a there's way more
6:37
reasonable there's a restaurant downtown vancouver there's two of them same name
6:41
one of them is more just a like very small hole in the wall place then the
6:46
other one's like a big establishment but they're both called stormcrow i think one of them is tavern and one of them is
6:50
something else anyways okay we're getting kind of crap done it's called a
6:54
kid's meal the loot is a toy whatever man no no this is for adults and they're
6:59
like probably different ideas yeah and you might get you don't get t-shirts and
7:03
kids meals he's just talking about amiibos and t-shirts this is like nicely
7:07
branded stuff not like some super right totally different yeah
7:12
uh but yeah stormcrow uh i believe you can
7:15
roll a d20 okay and depending on what the d20
7:18
results in you get a different i think it's a shot
7:21
okay i'm not sure and then if you get a 20 i don't remember something cool happens
7:27
people are complaining the camera's tilted and like to my eye it is
7:31
noticeably tilted okay is it just tilting over time no i
7:35
don't think so oh because didn't we check it before the
7:39
stream i'm hiring professional camera people anyway
7:43
does that seem better i don't know it's hard to tell without
7:47
me there and like part of it's like is this shelf on an angle yes it is yeah
7:51
like we're shooting at it from an angle yeah so
7:55
you know so people probably are just attributing that i think we're just
7:59
gonna that's noticeably better we're gonna roll with that okay cool you know
8:02
there's a little too much headroom Jake can you adjust the headroom down a little bit
8:06
maxum head you got this max you got this all right um what the heck were we
8:10
talking about it seemed important uh the boxes oh no
8:15
it was really important Linus cat tips okay right so um what happened oh right
8:21
yeah yeah what happened here was
8:24
next it hit youtube and this nothing
8:28
channel went from 85 000 to 160 000 subscribers
8:33
in three days so you doubled which is actually more like two days because it
8:37
was like the evening of the seventh and it is now not yet even the evening of
8:42
the ninth um and the reason did you watch the ncis
8:47
bankruptcy vlogs yeah so you saw the part where ultimately
8:52
okay i've got some people saying
8:56
that it was the wrong move
8:59
to give the guy well not give it to him i mean he bid for it like he won it in
9:04
the auction but to sort of let it go
9:07
do you think it was the wrong move i think what you maybe should have done because you
9:11
knew this what maybe not to the scale maybe you thought more scale i don't
9:15
know but you knew you would pass 100k yeah but i also knew that Linus cat tips
9:19
was going to end up with 100 000 subscribers eventually anyway yes all i
9:22
would have to do is do one shout out before i could have done it at any moment over the last three years yeah
9:26
just like that is accelerating it yeah you could have got it from him with the
9:31
idea that like hey i'll get you the cat tips one well
9:36
that's interesting or you could have used your contacts instead of using his
9:41
contacts to try to be like hey let's get him the freaking button you know i
9:45
didn't think of that at all i should have totally done that i should have totally been like look i want the ncix
9:50
tech tips one but tell you what you don't ultimately
9:54
no i should have just created like a troll like
9:57
extra one yes it should have been like yes yeah
10:01
and you should have named it almost identical to his channel with like a period or something yeah so that you
10:05
like can't really tell yeah just being like all right guys let's get this dude
10:09
because you got you got 80-something pounds yeah you could have made it i didn't think of
10:13
that at all why do i even ask you these things so now you need to make ncx
10:18
dot or like use a weird character for the eye or something and do it again
10:23
and then we need to get it again i gotta tell you the
10:27
okay so first of all all the people saying that like he didn't deserve it
10:31
because he's a top 10 channel or something or he probably bought his subscribers what are you talking about
10:36
like the guy uploaded a lot of videos i never even i didn't yeah no people are
10:41
like they're like mad that like a crappy top 10 channel
10:44
got the play button and i'm kind of sitting here going you guys
10:47
i mean i don't think we left the entire cut of all of my interaction with him in
10:51
the video but what happened was he won it
10:55
fair and square and i asked for it and he was like no
10:59
and then i explained that i was the one who started that channel and he was like
11:04
oh no problem man take it he seemed cool he was totally cool about it in a little
11:08
bit that i saw he seemed cool and so i had a couple minutes between
11:12
being on the auction floor and then going to the front where
11:17
we were going to pick it up to kind of think about and i went like
11:21
he was really cool about this what happened with him was he was with a
11:24
crappy mcn back when he crossed his 100 000 threshold so he's got his gold
11:29
button already but he was with a crappy mcn that for
11:33
whatever reason he got lost in the shuffle and he wasn't able to claim his
11:38
silver play button yeah so he just wanted one so that he could
11:42
rebrand it not because he didn't earn it but because he never got his that he did
11:47
earn and i was like you know what at the end of the day
11:52
i've got in my fantastic studio with my amazing
11:57
staff three silver play buttons on the wall
12:03
and not to mention the two gold play buttons
12:06
and he was so cool about it like if he wasn't really cool about it and he was
12:10
like you know yeah man you know i i think i should have it
12:14
but he wasn't like that at all if he wasn't cool about it i would have i would have wanted to fight harder for it
12:19
but he was just such a nice guy that i thought it was hard to yeah i thought it
12:24
was the right thing to do i understood your stance at the time but yeah i would
12:27
have tried to pull something like uh making a getting him to make
12:31
like a really similar channel name or that would have been a better move that
12:34
would have been the pro move but um i still have no regrets i still feel good
12:38
about how it went down um
12:42
and if nothing else we should now make like try to make a
12:46
channel that's like ncix but like change something very
12:50
minor it's hard was it ncx or insects called cixcom and a big ncix a small com
12:56
yeah yeah because i remember i actually it's funny i remember having an argument
13:00
internally about what we were going to call it because ncix wasn't available
13:05
for some reason okay and i got questioned like quite a few times
13:09
about why it wasn't ncix.com and i was like
13:13
because you can't have a period in the url and they were like
13:18
are you sure i'm like yeah
13:21
yeah you can't no people are like you should create a
13:25
Floatplane ncix plaque so honestly the one that i really want is
13:31
the gold one i'm gonna tell you something
13:36
the gold one is missing
13:40
did someone take it from the office kind of looks that way it wasn't me like
13:45
you're giving me that look no i actually had nothing to do with it so i'm just
13:49
i'm just rapidly speculating privately who it might have been so the rumor that
13:54
i heard was that um it was in the ceo's office
13:58
the last it was seen and now it's not
14:03
so i would and no riley doesn't have it i asked
14:08
riley he's a straight-up dude he would have told me yeah so he was the last one
14:13
left working on the ncix tech tips channel
14:17
and he says he doesn't have it and the
14:20
last time he saw it was in the ceo's office
14:23
so oh you know what in other crazy important news
14:28
that Jake did not put in the document wow um
14:32
you did a great job there's been a lot of speculation
14:35
that we will be acquiring the ncix tech
14:39
tips channel and i can put that to rest once and for
14:42
all we are not acquiring the ncix tech tips channel r.i.p and peace yep um
14:50
not for lack of effort but disappointed it will not be possible
14:56
um and so yeah uh honestly i'm i'm
15:00
pretty disappointed i i had a um
15:03
i actually had a pretty rotten day that day i had a bunch of things go wrong and
15:07
i i had the call that sort of was the nail in the coffin that i will
15:12
not be getting it um it is my belief
15:15
that whoever is taking control of it is
15:19
going to basically um
15:22
burn it to the ground and piss on the ashes according to the plan that they
15:26
have described to me um which is really disappointing because
15:30
i put a lot of work into that i mean that's where i
15:34
that's where i cut my teeth as a youtuber that's where you cut your teeth as a youtuber it's kind of sad that
15:38
we're not getting it i was pretty excited when we were talking about it so i i i had felt very strongly that
15:44
we should be allowed to buy it but it's a little more complicated than that
15:49
legally and it's just not going to be possible
15:53
so i mean yeah you know i might as well be upfront with you guys the only way we
15:57
were going to get it was if we bought ncix
16:02
which might seem like a great idea on paper
16:14
i was trying to be diplomatic
16:25
sorry
16:31
so um
16:34
it would include the domain the sophisticated inventory management
16:39
and back-end software oh yes yes definitely sophisticated yes
16:43
the very not cobbled together back-end management system oh yes uh the
16:50
trademarks the copyrights uh the intellectual property including their
16:54
fantastic mobile app
16:58
uh basically the the untarnished brand oh oh
17:04
absolutely nobody's wondering where their shipments are the fantastic relationships that um
17:10
that that brand will inspire with potential suppliers owing people money
17:14
and then never giving it to them is a really great way to establish trust now
17:18
um i mean to be no you wouldn't acquire the debt so this
17:22
is this is interesting so the way that it works
17:26
with the bankruptcy proceedings is that these assets are being liquidated
17:32
by the bankruptcy trustee so the funds are not actually going to
17:36
the original owner the funds are going to the creditors
17:41
meaning that even if let's say ncix owed
17:44
you oh i don't know six million dollars hypothetical number
17:48
um no no not me someone else but it's not
17:52
hypothetical it's real um let's say ncis would do six million
17:56
dollars and let's say at the auction that we attended and through the sale of
18:00
the uh the domain and the intellectual property and all that that they managed
18:04
to raise i don't know let's use a realistic
18:07
number two million dollars
18:10
your six million which is only one-fifth of the total debt this is all this is
18:15
all leaked out there um of your six million you would get
18:20
one fifteenth of that whatever that works out to like 300k
18:25
oh i thought they had to go banks first
18:28
so right assuming it all went out equally yeah um so so some people are
18:33
going to have more robust contracts yeah that will entitle them to being paid
18:38
first a lot of the time as far as i know and i
18:41
could be totally wrong here but i think that usually results in so the new
18:45
owners fair and square own the the domain the
18:50
the the server infrastructure whatever it is that they've paid the trustee for
18:55
and there's no debt associated with it but
18:58
life is rarely that simple and if i was oh i don't know let's say Corsair who
19:03
has owned a million dollars did i say owned or
19:06
owed that's kind of the same thing yeah
19:11
um it's a Corsair who's owned a million bucks
19:15
do i engage with this brand again
19:19
would you even if it was under new management i'd be salty and like the
19:23
thing is if i was a hardware company um i would look at this going like okay
19:29
last time you guys didn't make it you're going into the exact same market with
19:32
the exact same inventory stuff with the exact same buildings the exact same
19:36
website with less storefronts with probably
19:40
dramatically harmed seo dramatically
19:43
harmed seo because everything's going to be about you being bankrupt site traffic
19:47
a huge amount of customers that never receive shipments of possibly our
19:51
products and then got upset with us potentially because of that like i i
19:55
wouldn't really want to touch it like i'd be i'd be like this corpse is in the
20:00
ground especially why am i trying to perform cpr like and especially if you're a GPU
20:05
company yeah if you're a company shipping gpus you can sell them immediately to anyone
20:11
why would you and here's the thing ncix has been
20:15
effectively out of business for so long
20:19
that you know it doesn't take a long time for a gap to be filled canada
20:23
computers came in and opened up stores in ncis old locations yeah memory
20:28
express um i don't know if you know this but
20:31
i don't know if anyone knows this hold on uh
20:36
one second
20:41
okay good so yeah this is this is a thing
20:45
that is definitely very public that's memory express's website it's everywhere
20:50
so it's like literally everywhere um
20:53
but memex is going to be opening up a new store
20:57
uh i know that i have we're going to be there to their langley i'm gonna be
21:01
there like three or four times since ncx closed in langley and
21:06
how how hurt are you that you have to go
21:09
somewhere slightly different uh it's ever so slightly more difficult to get
21:12
to but it's also sort of on the way to work
21:16
so the parking's a little annoying
21:22
so yeah so that's the thing is they've been out of the game for three months what
21:27
incentive is there for anyone to go back because you don't
21:31
okay maybe mx's website looks like 1998. did you ever go to ncix's
21:36
canada computers isn't much better yeah yeah um
21:40
yeah i mean at least okay i'm gonna have to double check this
21:45
but at least to my knowledge memory express doesn't hide the per location
21:50
inventory the way that ncix started doing over the last few years like was
21:54
that or was that not an incredible so annoying frustrating experience
21:58
where it wouldn't actually show you what was in stock yeah no it's right here
22:02
like it's just like okay here's how many in this region are in
22:08
each store online stores different individuals and actually this
22:12
i don't know how 1998 this is no this is this is not 1998.
22:18
like it's like 2008. okay hold on a second uh way back machine and ciax oh
22:26
okay hold on hold on hold on let's just let's just let's just uh
22:33
let let's let's have a look let's let's actually go okay we can't go to 1998.
22:38
let's go to 1999 okay let's go to 1999 my friends
22:43
here we go may the 8th 1999 one snapshot
22:48
hold on uh oh no this this was like
22:54
wow it archived a broken page that's
22:58
that's interesting that's okay 2000 looks more promising here we go
23:01
okay that looks that looks more promising
23:06
what what you doing what you doing way back machine wayback
23:12
machine is the only way to access ncix now can you believe that isn't that
23:16
crazy well if it if it does well like if it does yeah
23:19
okay three snapshots come on man you know you can tell this show doesn't
23:24
have a producer because stuff like this wouldn't have there we
23:28
go okay
23:31
so that wait what no this is modern this yeah
23:36
this is 20 these are like brand new trucks this is 2018 february
23:40
okay well whatever okay well still i mean we can still look at what ncix's
23:44
looked like at the jump on there click somewhere on there on here yeah
23:48
let's just go like here
23:53
man way back is slow
23:56
okay so this is 2004
24:00
this would have been like wow this would have been like the prime
24:03
time of me shopping there as an actual customer
24:07
remember celestica yeah remember soul tech i definitely
24:12
remember soltech
24:15
remember AMD oh wait they made it they
24:18
made it they're back baby barely what else we got oh cz remember
24:23
ocz memory i think i owned one of these dang but no
24:27
okay maybe not 10 500 bucks with that vga video bga
24:33
suckers okay i think i owned one of those but like years ago all right
24:37
anyway i forget what we were even talking about um
24:41
right i wouldn't buy ncix
24:44
unless the price was basically what i would have paid for the youtube plaque
24:49
now tell me this i have had more than one person pitch me
24:54
internally that if we were to buy the ncix brand so
24:59
what first one thing do you think suppliers would take the ncix brand
25:03
seriously if it was me running it
25:07
actually yeah and if we were to buy it
25:12
should we become a system integrator
25:19
i wonder what twitch chat thinks of this i think you'd have to do it really well
25:23
well the idea would be that like i wouldn't i wouldn't want to go crazy
25:28
like my perfect system builder would probably be closer to puget than to like
25:34
main gear i expected that i i by really well i didn't mean like hard light water
25:38
cooling i meant like very low amounts of issues
25:41
yes like robustness would have to be like way up there which puget yeah
25:45
they've got that they'd test after their testing which is pretty crazy um but
25:50
like just because of the public-facingness of this
25:53
attachment company you'd have to yeah you'd have to be
25:56
quite careful yeah it would it would it would be it would be one of those things
26:00
where you know every customer service issue has the potential to go viral
26:05
you know like and and and my biggest issue actually is just that
26:11
there's the potential for people to perceive our hardware choices in the
26:16
ncix pc division as being influenced
26:20
or or influencing the media side of it
26:23
so i think there's a reason that nobody's ever really crossed
26:28
those lines except me
26:31
yeah i was already doing this and it's hilarious because you see so many people
26:37
hearkening for the good old days when Linus wasn't biased because he worked at
26:40
a computer store that was trying to sell you stuff
26:43
and i'm kind of sitting here going oh man like
26:47
like it's not it's not biased but you could certainly find an ulterior motive
26:50
in there if you dug deep enough lcix
26:54
no minus computer inc inc extreme x
27:00
x factor um
27:05
yeah so i don't know man um i'm i'm hoping to hear back
27:10
today about just sort of like the update but my my name's out of the hat i'm i'm
27:16
not going to be able to i'm not going to be able to get my hands on the channel i
27:20
had really hoped too the chat is chanting lcix lcix yes
27:24
lordy looks like it does look like licks
27:30
our computers don't just suck they lick
27:37
hard that might go okay that might go okay go back to like mid 90s advertising
27:42
like just our branding just being completely ridiculous yeah yeah well i
27:47
mean okay as far as i can tell the only way system integrators make any money is
27:51
through mdf programs with brands like Intel and NVIDIA
27:54
NVIDIA probably i don't think Intel would give us any money to talk about
27:59
how our computers lick hard yeah that might be a little bit of
28:03
a problem Intel's a little on the conservative side when it comes to brand
28:07
messaging yeah to be called man we'll freak out we're
28:11
not talking anything about politics at all um we're just talking about speaking
28:15
of how we actually intend to continue running our business and making money
28:19
yeah squarespace oh i thought you can do the burger flipping no we'll get into that

33:03
i don't uh die right now yeah um so we're gonna be at the richmond
33:07
olympic oval it's gonna be huge it's a meet up slash tech convention
33:12
the idea is to keep the focus on experiences so we want you guys to get
33:16
hands-on with cool tech through fun games and tutorials and there's going to
33:19
be a larger focus on pc gaming this year tickets start at 35 canadian rubles and
33:24
you can check them out at ltxexpo.com
33:29
hopefully we'll see uh we'll see a lot of people there like last year it
33:32
actually went surprisingly well for first attempt like that's actual that's
33:36
an actual picture from last year yeah we framed it really cleverly so you can't
33:40
see all the empty chairs up here but like that was fine because we never
33:43
intended to have people up there yeah no one wants to sit in the stands yep
33:48
they want to rush the stands try to touch your hands
33:52
like some screaming nature fans yeah yeah yeah spaghetti yeah spaghetti fans
33:56
um milk fans this one's good milk pants
34:01
milk the fans uh full plain
34:05
i will get to that later i got to do my thing should i do that later or now oh
34:08
yes oh right flow plane news okay why don't you talk Floatplane news
34:13
while i show off the site that totally works most of the time full of videos
34:17
that people well the vast majority of the time actually yeah so check this out
34:21
so just just recently this this uh got
34:24
working so you can click up here got working
34:28
magically magically um yeah so you can click up here and you
34:32
can see all the videos in order from all the channels you subscribe to like bit
34:37
wit ultra and Linus tech tips who are currently the only creators on the
34:40
platform um credit card payments
34:44
work yeah paypal is still pending some stuff with
34:48
um our payment processor braintree
34:51
um but we are hoping to be able to accept both through the platform we have
34:54
had no actual issues with credit card payments yet really
34:58
no actual issues there's a lot of placeholders and stuff
35:02
still like load of them this image is like not that great um
35:06
but i can show you guys the videos that are up there we've got an int uh an
35:10
Intel we've got as fast as possible on Intel's CPU letters you know like x k
35:16
u t y all those letters that come at the end of the name
35:19
max builds her first pc together with me
35:23
much hilarity ensues are you like getting her to do most of it oh yeah
35:26
nice oh yeah she does the vast majority of it i barely touch it nice um we've
35:30
got a Floatplane exclusive testing the NVIDIA shield from the ncix auction
35:35
this case is unbelievable
35:39
like actually amazing
35:43
it's like this building that was going towards good job yeah it didn't do what
35:47
it did last week yeah no i know it's scanning is still slightly slower well
35:51
no i think it was actually our connection here that would make sense um
35:54
because uh johnny came in earlier this week and kind of reset everything
35:58
updated all the firmware and i haven't been having buffering issues on Floatplane or youtube this weekend okay
36:02
cool yeah so this is a gorgeous video it's it's
36:06
worth a watch let's go ahead and go back usually i'd
36:10
hope i'd be over it by now it's still going not an act
36:15
uh this one went up on youtube today
36:19
this one went up already this is as fast as possible you can't really tell
36:22
because the thumbnail is footage from the LTT video anyway don't worry about
36:25
it gaming on the imac pro how bad can it be you can update these
36:30
no i know you can i just haven't done anything um
36:34
super ultra wide monitor dank or dumb i think we all know the answer
36:39
actually i think everyone the funny thing about that is it's very polarizing
36:43
i think everybody knows their own answer and it's not the same answer as other
36:46
people it's just drastic i've had people talk to me about how that is the most
36:50
amazing thing of all time me too and they can't believe nobody ever thought
36:53
of that like it's crazy um so sorry what was your news uh i'm uh
36:58
flow planes hiring oh are we yeah
37:01
i lightly mentioned it to you earlier uh looking for someone paying attention
37:05
with like node angular sales waterline
37:08
kind of experience in that realm um
37:12
yeah hit me up i don't have a specific like link for you to go to right now you can
37:17
tweet me there will be a link you have a specific budget in mind and we can talk
37:22
about it offline i do actually but yeah all right so this will bring the team up
37:26
to how many then that'll be five six five well okay it depends on how you
37:31
six went to me seven with you eight with
37:38
name is public yeah no let's let's not count me and Yvonne then
37:42
are we counting we're counting you yeah yeah okay so it would be six six
37:48
it's crazy how many people thought that we were just going to be
37:51
like doing this with one person and luke when you were first time
37:56
okay yes but yeah that that was never the plan though yeah and well that
38:00
initial call video we were we already had one person
38:03
so we were going up from there but yeah uh we're doing we're doing pretty well
38:07
right now we're pushing forward right now though we're we're
38:11
in a situation where we're doing a lot of reacting
38:14
so i want to increase the team size a little bit so we can push forward
38:18
because we're reacting to some bugs we're fixing some things we're doing some user suggestions and stuff but i
38:22
want to keep pushing forward with the main line stuff yeah we've got a really
38:26
good roadmap we just need to make sure we don't fall into that trap where
38:30
we've got a great road map that we never end up working and we we do
38:34
keep feature creeping basically everything feature creeps and our stuff is feature creeping as well but um
38:40
yeah cool oh yeah being from
38:44
canada or being from the states with
38:47
a related degree is quite important because i want to move you here
38:51
yeah so remote work no remote work for
38:55
three months yes
38:59
while you're on probation cool when's your off probation no come here
39:03
get on a plane yeah um all right why don't we talk about
39:07
some actual news that's in the actual dock this was posted by master disaster on
39:12
the forum and the original article here is from
39:15
techcrunch flippy the robot hamburger chef goes to
39:21
work so this is one year after announcing a partnership with kalaburger
39:25
and miso robotics's resident chef graduated to graduated hamburger
39:30
university and started flipping burgers in an actual restaurant
39:35
so this is an ai enabled burger flipping robot ARM thing it uses
39:41
thermal imaging and image recognition to tell which burgers need flipping it can
39:46
handle 12 burgers at a time and it's not 100 independent the worker
39:50
has to bring in patties and take the cooked ones away
39:53
apply cheese assemble sandwiches actually it doesn't sound that that i
39:57
think it's not that great but the idea
40:00
was that for your sixty thousand dollars per flippy yeah each yeah
40:05
and your uh 20 annual recurring maintenance
40:09
fee so 12 grand a year you would get more functionality down
40:13
the road like the ability to chop deep fry grill or add seasoning and cheese to
40:18
patties what drives me nuts is how can it not refill the patty selection
40:27
like what like even even if even if workers had to
40:30
bring like stacks of paddies separated by paper whatever whatever i don't know
40:34
and just like put it into a thing yeah you'd think they'd have a burger hopper
40:38
yeah you know yeah so it was designed to make up for the cost with decreased wait
40:42
times better consistency decreased food waste and then obviously eventually
40:46
reduction in staff but wait
40:51
there's more the original article from bbc.com
40:55
burger flipping robot taken offline after
40:58
one day on the job yes the burger flipping robot lasted exactly as long as
41:04
that stoner guy that i hired when i was
41:07
running my painting business oh i thought you meant
41:11
all right one day no this guy was hilarious so was the
41:16
other one that i'm talking about but yes this one was more hilarious okay get this okay
41:22
so one of the most time-consuming aspects
41:26
of painting is ladder movements okay go
41:29
getting up and down the ladder moving the ladder over
41:33
getting your bucket and your paint back together and getting up okay
41:37
that's one of the things that takes the most amount of time so when i see someone
41:42
instead of putting so instead of putting the ladder close to the wall
41:46
and using your whole wingspan both hands when i see someone putting a ladder
41:51
four feet away from the wall leaning in like this
41:56
painting with one hand like pushing themselves back out onto
42:00
the ladder and like i was just
42:04
this is one of those like i don't know the proper name for it but like
42:09
you're not leading the ladder against no it's just a step stool yeah he was just
42:12
leaning himself against the house for like actually my crew chief wanted to
42:17
kind of try and make it work she was really she's a good person i'm horribly
42:20
bad at uh painting and that sounds really dumb but
42:24
i just actually and like we were desperate like this was back in
42:29
no 2006 six yeah probably around 2006 2000
42:33
yeah it was probably 2006. when like the economy was really good
42:37
the 2008 crash hadn't really happened yet like it was this was a time this was a
42:41
period of time where getting walking into a subway
42:46
you might only hope to have your burger made correctly because
42:50
people were like desperate they were hiring just like anyone no matter how
42:53
qualified they were for anything and it was really hard to find people
42:56
but i was just like no we can't do this so so right flippy
43:02
flippy was supposed to be able to cook two thousand burgers a day
43:06
but after one day flippy was taken offline to be upgraded to work faster
43:11
left with a little sign saying he'd be cooking soon
43:14
the employees that worked with him are also being trained to help flippy work
43:18
faster um it's likely that this is due to the
43:22
increased volume at the store due to the news of flippy being deployed
43:26
news 2000 a day sounds like a lot but when you break it down
43:30
it's really actually not that much it's not that crazy
43:34
um and you see in the video like his flipping thing is very
43:40
like it's slow the weird thing about it is like
43:43
you know what about what's that robot called the four-legged one that you can
43:46
like kick and it doesn't fall over yeah i don't know but it's boston dynamics
43:51
yeah like that thing's been around for six years this does not seem very
43:55
sophisticated or good why does it cost sixty thousand dollars
44:00
i'm not this there's i'm sure they're not mass making them that's why
44:06
this one's nuts this is crazy this is new yeah
44:10
oh wow boston dynamics has a new robot that's like kind of news right
44:15
it's sure it's been news for a while we're kind of late it yeah from like you
44:18
can open a door and you can like screw with it while it
44:22
tries to open the door and it'll correct and it'll brace and it does all these other kinds why is it lagging
44:27
there we go so it'll like bring that ARM thingy out i don't know where the ARM
44:31
actually comes from oh there's the one with the ARM right
44:35
this one has to let the other one through the door
44:39
these guys are trippy like this is scary stuff this is like
44:42
straight out of portal ring
44:46
and then he like braces the door on his leg gets the ARM around the door
44:50
and then pulls it open let's the other one through
44:54
and then i think what we're going to see after this is when they try to interfere
44:58
because boston dynamics is all about that oh no okay is the this one testing
45:02
robustness yeah yeah no that's fine i mean that's like
45:05
anyway the point i was trying to make is like i don't really understand why
45:08
flippy there's crazy robots out there this feels
45:13
like a really advanced like
45:17
project that someone on youtube made
45:21
i don't know i'm sure it's more complicated than that
45:24
i'm sure the thermal sensing stuff is actually quite complicated right
45:28
like the like the robot vision that they've programmed into this is probably
45:31
pretty cool and there's probably some pretty like
45:34
uh some pretty onerous sort of safety health and safety certifications that
45:39
they've probably had to go through that sounds expensive yeah
45:42
all right yeah well at any rate um why don't we move on
45:46
to the next topic so oh you're right so humans um your
45:50
jobs are not safe except for now they are
45:53
because flippy is not that great but someone will make a good flippy this is
45:58
pretty crazy so this was posted by master disaster
46:02
on the forum but uh and the original post the original article is is this
46:06
like from our forum looks like one of the users of our forum
46:09
blanked out their personal information and said basically dear taxpayer
46:13
newegg has provided the department of revenue services records of your online
46:17
purchases they put a dash in online because apparently they still live in 2000 super
46:22
old yeah during taxable years 2014 2015
46:25
and 2016 according to these records you made purchases in at least one of these
46:29
years but were not charged connecticut sales tax therefore you owe tax on the
46:33
items tax interest penalty penalty total
46:38
amount due 103 dollars and 10 cents now
46:41
this is based on only spending about a thousand bucks so anyone who was a heavy
46:46
buyer or like maybe was the the coordination point for group
46:51
buys for their friends for example or like regularly bought systems and built
46:55
them for other people if they didn't go and pour through the
47:00
connecticut tax code to determine that newegg should have been paying them tax
47:05
or should have been submitting charging them tax and then submitting it
47:09
to the state of connecticut they could be on the hook for thousands and thousands of dollars american online
47:14
tax law is basically
47:18
as far as i know actually the worst out of anyone it's
47:24
pretty broken and like the average person
47:28
i don't think the average person should be blamed for not being aware of this
47:31
stuff like on the one hand yes officially according to tax laws here in
47:36
canada too you should pay tax even if you weren't charged tax on the
47:42
transaction for example if i were to um
47:45
buy something on craigslist or if i was sorry if i were to sell
47:49
something on craigslist i'm supposed to pay income tax
47:52
on the uh the money that i made
47:55
and if i was to sell something on craigslist i am supposed to i think over
48:00
a certain amount so if i was doing it regularly i'm supposed to collect
48:04
provincial and general sales tax and submit it to the appropriate governing
48:08
bodies on behalf of the buyer
48:12
but like going all the way back to 2014 to 2016
48:18
and then just sending letters to everyone
48:23
wow no subpoena or warrant was involved the
48:26
drs just sent you a letter they complied which
48:31
i mean yeah
48:34
do would they have a legal justification to not yeah i mean i guess that's
48:37
people's personal information right like that's pretty bs yeah
48:42
um
48:56
yeah so name address yeah so okay so apparently the drs submitted the names
49:00
and addresses and asked newegg for the amount so okay i can see newegg supplying that
49:05
but i don't know man like this is one of those things where
49:11
this is not the consumer's fault nh massacre said i'm screwed i spent
49:16
over 13k on new egg are you from connecticut i think you have to i think
49:20
this only applies to people this only applies to connecticut for now
49:23
but this is a can of worms yeah
49:27
because even here in canada the way that the taxation has worked for online
49:31
purchases has been a little bit complicated at times
49:34
and as far as i know nothing was ever done retroactively and as far as i know
49:41
when the laws changed back in 2008 2009
49:44
some somewhere around there when they introduced harm introduced harmonized sales tax
49:49
the onus was on the retailer to deal with it yeah and we were the ones who
49:52
were in trouble and that seems a lot more fair to me
49:55
than putting it on you know individual
49:59
you know joe average in connecticut i completely agree
50:03
i um crap was i going to say
50:08
right so a lot of tax law was made before it was reasonable to buy something
50:14
in one area when you are in another area and then when that started becoming more
50:19
popular it was mostly like calling in
50:22
to order stuff and that was such low volume that you know that cared and even
50:27
once you started buying things on the internet most people were pretty skeptical about buying things on the
50:30
internet and there wasn't a lot of that going on and then amazon blows up
50:35
and all these other sites blow up and now a lot of people are doing
50:39
a pretty hefty portion possibly most of their shopping on the
50:43
internet now it's a big deal because i mean remember it's not like we're in a
50:46
situation where the individual states are just like flush with cash yeah so if
50:52
they can find a way to get you know anywhere between a
50:56
couple of percent and a couple more than that percent of every transaction that
51:00
takes place online for items coming into their state i mean think about it
51:06
those items don't get to the door without a truck driving on a road that
51:11
theoretically the state maintains like
51:14
someone said uh luke used tax covers out
51:18
of state purchases i'm assuming they mean u.s tax not really um
51:23
this is use that
51:26
no he said use exactly
51:34
either way it doesn't no not in all cases um and there's really weird
51:38
situations where like uh for for if
51:41
you're talking about digital stuff if if if the company you're buying something
51:45
from has a server in your state
51:48
that's nexus so they have a like location there which changes how it all
51:52
work it's a very it's very complicated and it varies depending on whether it's
51:56
a digital goods or service or a physical item yeah
52:00
and like it varies per state per county
52:04
in some places like it's it's actually u.s tax is extremely complicated
52:09
all right speaking of things that are extremely complicated my feelings about
52:13
this uh latest bit of news there is still correcting about use tax it
52:16
doesn't matter there's other things that apply sorry that i got that part wrong there
52:20
is still other stuff that applies
52:24
mcafee acquires vpn company which i actually didn't realize was canadian was
52:29
uh tunnelbear
52:33
terms of the deals have not been disclosed um
52:37
mcafee says it plans to integrate tunnelbear's technologies into their own
52:41
vpn products that i've never heard of until now safeconnect
52:45
a apparently tunnelbear will also continue
52:48
to work on its own products under its own brand according to the report
52:53
tunnelbear is a profitable company so presumably mcafee paid a pretty penny
52:56
for it uh just a little bit of history mcafee was acquired by Intel in 2011
53:03
mcafee whatever um Intel rebranded it to Intel security
53:08
and then it was later split into a new company with the old
53:11
mcafee mcafee whatever name in partnership with private equity firm
53:16
tpg so this is their second acquisition since becoming a separate company again
53:20
and um
53:24
so here's where we're at on this as you guys probably know uh tunnelbear
53:30
is a um
53:35
a pretty has been a longtime supporter right of the show
53:39
yeah um
53:43
so we've reached out to them for comment i don't think we've heard back yet i'm
53:47
actually not not sure if we've heard back yet but we would we would love to uh we
53:53
would love to hear from our community
53:56
what they think of this news
54:00
so one key change is now that tunnelbear is owned by an american interest they
54:04
will have to comply with some american laws as far as i know
54:09
i mean so that's one difference that there might be to the service yeah and
54:13
their sort of way of operating i'm going to
54:16
chime in slightly here
54:20
canada has a lot of crazy privacy laws too um the us privacy laws are more well
54:25
documented but if you want to have some fun google
54:29
spy palace it'll bring up some canadian stuff
54:34
interesting articles
54:38
so yeah
54:41
and five eyes so that was some interesting news um in other interesting
54:45
news this was posted by cenari on the forum the original article is from
54:48
overclock.net modders
54:53
have apparently gotten coffee lake working on 100 and 200 series chipsets
54:59
so far the core i3 8100 has been tested working completely on a 100 series board
55:06
well apparently multiple 100 series boards
55:09
and what else do we have here so little hill contributed in adding the coffee
55:12
lake CPU micro code and suggestions of using correct me version to boot the CPU
55:16
root user 123 fixed igpu by extracting coffee lake igpu v BIOS on the latest
55:21
gop driver from sonix and updating the vbios and gp driver
55:25
wow contributing to sankey contributed in
55:28
booting six core CPU on MSI z270 motherboard and giving lots of
55:32
assistance in solving problems lsw contributed in testing and writing
55:35
guides nav ax solved the issue with the PCIe 16x not
55:39
working in CPU voltage readout fixes when using coffee lake cpus
55:44
very very
55:47
nice ebay GPU ads you got going on there
55:51
because of higher power limits this is a quote here i would not suggest this mod
55:55
with i5 and i7 k series cpus
56:01
so this comes back to
56:05
i'm not talking to you siri go away
56:09
uh so this comes back to the speculation that took place when Intel said they
56:14
would not be supporting coffee lake on 100 and 200 series but i'm going to go
56:18
through Jake's notes here first as a courtesy
56:22
um oh actually that was the first thing in
56:26
his notes good job Jake so here is what they said
56:30
it might have worked for the most part but it didn't work well enough or
56:35
reliably enough for Intel to allow
56:38
this compatibility to make it to the market so they software and BIOS locked
56:43
off the compatibility most of this was due to coffee lake's
56:46
different power setup it was not necessarily that the board
56:52
didn't have enough power delivery but the board's power delivery just is
56:55
distributed over more pins to better support coffee lake six core chips like
56:59
the 8700k so wccf tech reported that ground pins
57:04
went from 377 to 391 and power pins went
57:07
from 128 to 146. something a lot of people don't know is that on
57:12
particularly a brand new CPU like i found a really good i forget why
57:17
i was looking at this but um i7 920
57:22
pin map um cool
57:27
this blog re-engine blog check this out
57:31
i forget why i was looking at this but this is a map
57:34
uh posted on reengine.org
57:38
where this guy or gal
57:41
mapped out what all of the different pins are and
57:44
then color coded them so you can see here all this green stuff is memory
57:49
controller um all this blue stuff is qpi data all the
57:55
gray stuff so like 70 80 of what's in here a bunch of this
58:01
in here here uh probably a good 50 of
58:04
what's in here all that grey stuff is reserved pins and those reserved pins
58:09
might be for different skus that have more hardware in them for example uh
58:13
this is a bloomfield and so it was architecturally very similar to the
58:18
contemporary xeons so those xeons would have had an additional qpi link that
58:22
would have taken up uh probably let's go back here uh probably all the gray ones
58:27
here yeah that would have been the other qpi link for the other CPU that would
58:31
have been needed but there's still all this other stuff and a lot of the time
58:34
those reserved pins are just in case Intel decides to do like uh a new CPU
58:40
with oh i don't know maybe more course for example
58:44
they can use those for something so this is just an example of them
58:49
utilizing reserved pins in order to add
58:52
more power so going back to our notes here
58:57
the modders say that the pin out doesn't matter because they're just left
59:01
disconnected because those pins are reserved on kb lake except for two which
59:05
you can just cover with tape so the extra pins offer about eight
59:09
percent greater impedance so theoretically lower power chips like the
59:12
i380 100 are fine but you may have issues with
59:17
overclockable higher core count or higher tdb chips there's a screenshot
59:21
here of an 8700k working so you can check this out on a
59:26
presumably MSI board but
59:29
no actual evidence of it running correctly or stably
59:35
so there you go it's exactly
59:40
what i don't know if Intel ever publicly said that was it but that's what we
59:44
understood it's exactly what we knew it
59:47
was it's not that it
59:50
can't work it's that it can't work well enough so
59:55
unless you try super super hard and use an i3
59:58
8100 which is probably not worth the
60:01
work so that's where we're at on that
60:09
what else we got here all right you want to talk about the fortnite thing there's not a lot to say
60:13
here but i think it's kind of interesting pubg has been rocking for a long time and a lot of people in the
60:18
community including myself are pretty unsatisfied with how they've been kind
60:22
of doing a lot of stuff tell for the uninitiated why uh their servers are
60:27
super garbage they're down times that they choose for maintenance even when
60:31
they schedule it ahead of time is in like prime time for north america which
60:35
is pretty rough and they do all the servers there's a huge amount of uh
60:39
hacking and that's not being dealt with to a satisfactory level including hacks
60:44
uh like something called esp which is like uh do you remember the pokemon go
60:49
cheating stuff where people would get like a website and it would show where
60:52
all the pokemon are you can get that except for pubg
60:56
so it shows you where everyone in the map is and you can get it running on an
61:00
external computer so you don't even need to have it on your computer so there's no way to
61:04
detect it because you can just vp on the other device they'd have no idea it's
61:08
going to your network right so they even if they did find a way to track it
61:12
somehow which i don't think they could then you could just vpn and there's no way for them to check it anyways because
61:17
basically it has like fundamental flaws it's a huge there's a lot of issues um
61:21
there's there's things that piss a lot of people off uh
61:24
and it yeah they they took all this money that they
61:28
got for having a successful game and instead of when what a lot of people
61:32
think needed to happen is throwing all of that towards development of the main
61:35
game they developed like a mobile game and then uh they did this huge push to
61:41
get it onto xbox and like all this kind of stuff instead
61:44
of developing the core thing they had a version 1.0 released
61:50
which was as far as i can tell a giant publicity stunt because it was garbage
61:55
there was still huge amounts of issues in the game uh like it's it's
61:58
it's been really frustrating you drop in you have to parachute in i
62:02
know you haven't really played i don't know how much you know about it uh you have to parachute in and you sometimes
62:07
you have to stand there for a little while and wait for things to actually spawn like loot sometimes it's there who
62:12
knows it might not work you try to parachute into the ground uh might not
62:16
let you to the parachute then when it does it might just kill you or do a
62:19
whole bunch of damage because it's like oh you fell it's like
62:23
wouldn't have fallen if the game worked thanks uh there's huge rubber banding
62:26
issues for a huge amount of time there's massive performance issues there's still
62:29
some performance issues but not as much as there was before
62:33
tell me how you really feel about it meanwhile and i'm not as into the
62:36
gameplay because i don't like the building aspects and stuff but fortnight
62:40
right released their battle royale mode after pubg
62:45
running on the same engine because they made it um and it's it's a
62:50
uh what a lot of people classify a better overall experience i'm not as into the
62:55
gameplay because i don't like the building aspects you have to like actively build walls and do all this
62:59
weird stuff and some of the fights are just ridiculous to watch
63:03
because you just watch people like rapidly build walls and stairs and stuff
63:06
like super super super super super fast and then like do one shot okay it's over
63:11
because you like somehow got an angle on them while they were rapidly building
63:14
this thing too i just yeah i'm not super into the gameplay but i'm kind of happy
63:19
that it's beating out pubg because i want them to smarten the heck up because
63:22
i would rather play that game it's just really frustrating sometimes
63:29
anyways i don't know how much the twitch chat actually agrees with me we should do a poll
63:33
what do you like more pubg or all right um fortnite
63:38
i'm on it cause i i like playing pub g more but i
63:42
get very angry when like i'll rubber band
63:46
around a wall or i'll be like clearly behind something and die and it's not
63:51
the other the other dude isn't hacking or anything it's just huge latency
63:55
issues the the tick rate on the servers is garbage i don't remember what it is
63:59
now but it was like 11 to 17 before really like it's it's really bad why
64:06
this is something you know maybe you can explain this to me from a technical standpoint
64:09
why run a crappy tick rate when everyone
64:12
knows what would be better um okay so in like october
64:18
they were saying 17 hertz tick rate
64:22
really yeah how can you even play a competitive game like that yeah
64:27
like there's issues with the game and the yeah a lot of it's just ignored
64:36
more people are voting for fortnite right now it's really close to be fair
64:41
wow these votes are coming in really fast and a lot of people like compared
64:45
to most pools we run yeah this is crazy
64:48
but then you think about it we're streaming on twitch most of the time we're not doing gaming
64:53
polls that's fair yeah yeah so it's close which i'm not
64:57
surprised by right but fortnite is edging out pubg which
65:01
shouldn't be surprising exactly and i i prefer the gameplay style of pubg and
65:05
all this kind of stuff there's just so many frustrating things
65:13
anyways wish i had time to play games
65:18
i legitimately do
65:25
so in other news
65:28
game over for uh drones that's bad
65:33
a drone crashed in arizona national forest starting a wildfire
65:38
200 acres 200 acres that burned 300 acres
65:43
over 300 acres with 30 firefighters able to
65:47
contain it within the day that's how much it burned in a day
65:52
and it's unclear what kind of drone it was but it caught fire when it crashed
65:56
setting fire to a grassland area called kendrick park
65:59
the pilot was identified and charged with starting a forest fire
66:05
lawmakers are pushing to criminalize drone flying in wildfire areas
66:10
so basically you're not going to be able to fly a drone near a person near an
66:14
animal near a vehicle near a wildfire area
66:19
which is like what isn't yeah um
66:25
a spokesperson for the forest said it is legal to fly a drone in the forest as
66:28
long as it doesn't take off in a wilderness area and as long as there are no nearby wildfires
66:33
so i don't know how you're going to turn this into a criminal charge against the
66:36
guy um or wait no okay yeah you can yeah okay
66:41
so i get is it negligence i guess so
66:45
because i think i feel like you'd have to have
66:48
precautions along the route so if nothing else you'd have to have
66:52
like people out along the route because i bet you film crews would still
66:56
be able to get away with it
67:00
interesting because they could have like crew around
67:03
just in case the drone fell
67:06
you know so
67:09
here's another good one goodbye drones goodbye porn
67:14
um rhode island
67:19
is proposing a bill requiring internet service providers to
67:25
block sexual content and not necessarily for the reason you might
67:30
think because you would probably go it's probably a think of the children
67:36
but what they really want is to get 20
67:40
dollars from you one time it's a one-time fee
67:44
twenty dollars from you to be able to
67:47
access pornography which will give money to the state to
67:52
help fund the operation of the council on human trafficking
67:59
you have to send in a request in writing
68:03
that you want it disabled you have to present your id to verify
68:07
that you're older than 18 and you have to acknowledge
68:13
receiving written warning regarding the danger associated with deactivating the
68:17
filter
68:21
wow yeah
68:26
so that's interesting with current wording it seems like the
68:30
filters for illegal things like child porn would also be deactivated if you
68:34
paid the fee what
68:40
how does that help the problem that they're okay
68:48
completely regardless of the moral issues of blocking anything on the
68:51
internet to any degree whatever whatever whatever completely ignore all that kind of stuff for now just look at the stance
68:56
they're trying to make and the results that they're setting up
68:59
they don't line up that's that's completely what i'm confused about right
69:03
now so what
69:07
but they would have a registry of all the people who are un unlocked yeah
69:13
unzipped which is just
69:18
but that's just awkward and like it sounds like you have to maybe do it in
69:22
person because that's be in writing you have to acknowledge that you've seen this form saying that you're a bad
69:26
person essentially and you have to present your id it says present id not
69:31
like my understanding is that human
69:35
trafficking and effectively slavery is actually a huge problem in the porn
69:39
industry i don't do a ton of research on it
69:42
but like apparently people can end up like not so
69:47
much in north america i don't think but people can end up signing contracts
69:51
without fully understanding them that basically turn them into sex slaves that
69:55
sounds less likely in north america yeah um
69:59
and so i can understand the need to um
70:03
sort of investigate where this internet porn is coming from
70:08
the impact it's having and if there are illegal activities going on
70:12
that are driving it but i don't think that um
70:17
like an internet censorship bill makes a ton of sense as the way to
70:22
go about that it seems sort of like a broader um
70:32
once again another topic that i'm really just not sure what to say about
70:36
i just don't understand like is this the worst thought out thing ever
70:41
like that that's the only thing that's the only conclusion i'm really coming to
70:45
like if regardless of your stance on it whether you're for it or against it
70:49
their approach is super confusing okay so we've got people correcting me saying
70:53
that bringing people into the into north america to act as slaves is still pretty
70:56
common yeah it's it's a little bit different though so in north america the
71:00
way that typically this is my understanding the way that the human trafficking game typically works is that
71:05
you're relying on their very poor language skills and the fact that they
71:10
don't understand the ability to the laws of the country in order to get
71:13
themselves out of it but that's not really what i was talking about i was
71:17
talking about situations where actually through legal contracts
71:21
um you're creating situations where um people are effectively being sexually
71:26
assaulted at work every day but they're contractually obligated to continue to
71:30
do it um so
71:34
yeah okay
71:37
so thanks for watching guys um this has been an interesting lan show we will see
71:41
you again next week same bat time same bad channel bye
71:50
some messed up man stuff man
72:00
yeah i think they're just like
72:03
i don't know what are you gonna do ask
72:19
i heard i heard that that was one of the
72:22
white house's top priorities stopping the sexual harassment
