so today i don't think i could handle it right
0:03
now oh okay i have had a fairly terrible
0:06
last couple of days um i i have been fighting with my my tape
0:12
drive backup thing that basically doesn't work on the pc properly and
0:17
the guys that make it are like yeah the truth of the matter is that the driver
0:21
situation from ibm on down just isn't that great on the pc and it works better
0:24
on a mac so then i've been trying to get a mac working with 10 gigabit and so i
0:28
was using the macbook pro and 10 gigabit lan to be clear so i was using the
0:32
macbook pro and i ran into uh bro remember when i
0:36
called you earlier this week yeah asking if you had the corex yeah yeah so so i
0:40
so so i managed to have uh um
0:44
three external pci express docs
0:48
four 10 gigabit network cards a variety
0:51
of cables and i still couldn't manage to get like
0:55
i even got down to the point where i had a Thunderbolt chipset that apple hadn't
0:59
specifically locked out because we don't want to support it yeah i managed to
1:04
find one that didn't have a Thunderbolt chip that was locked out so the
1:07
enclosure worked on the mac and i even managed to get
1:11
a 10 gig Ethernet card with the exact same chipset that is already in use in
1:16
the imac pro but that still doesn't work because
1:20
there's some stupid beta of macOS that you have to like update from an older
1:25
one too and then it will flash cards that are not like
1:30
mac approved to be mac approved and then
1:33
they just work because because the drivers are for the hardware not for
1:38
like the stupid vendor id that actually doesn't matter but with apple it's just
1:43
Anthony's way of putting it i think is great it's magic numbers
1:47
it's not about whether it should actually work or not it's about making
1:50
sure it has the right magic number that's actually one of his theories
1:55
about the uh the whole throttling issue with the macbook pro did you see this
1:58
you hear about this the big thermal throttle i know yeah yeah yeah and apple
2:01
fixes it with a macOS update that they
2:05
said was firmware but doesn't seem to be firmware because it doesn't fix it in
2:09
Windows yeah so
2:12
so it must just be like a magic number like a magic magic number detects the
2:16
CPU correctly now no it doesn't behave stupidly oh good yeah
2:20
thank goodness for a genuine apple approved hardware and nothing else
2:23
working at all you want to hear my great story
2:27
and then and then i've spent the last four hours dealing
2:30
with this do you think it's gonna be done by the underwent i i hope so it's at 84 percent
2:35
and that's like 54 when i said third reboot now so i think we're i think
2:38
we're getting close i may duck out of when and just finish that this is the
2:42
last thing i'm waiting for i just want to run
2:45
cinebench sorry sorry everyone i'm just i'm having
2:49
a rough day i just want to run cinebench and i can't if Windows update is sucking
2:54
back 25 of the CPU in the background right i just want to know how much
2:58
faster it is than last gen and i was thinking maybe i'd compare it to the
3:01
surface go since that arrived today tried to live stream the surface go
3:05
turns out another video project we're working on which is really cool by the
3:08
way basically we're given the we're given the this to google
3:13
but in a way that's like not just to spite them it's just
3:16
we are abusing their services oh yeah i know in a way that's really
3:21
cool well it turns out we're also abusing
3:25
fully within the terms abusing the CPU of our router
3:28
oh yeah so it looks like that
3:32
killed our stream earlier we where we literally
3:39
oh like overloaded our router CPU and
3:42
remember this is not some this isn't some wimpy bs it's a rack mounted rope
3:46
yeah this isn't this is an edge router pro from ubiquity oh okay like it's not
3:50
some hundred thousand dollar stupid like cisco thing or anything like that but
3:56
it is not an insubstantial piece of
3:59
networking machinery um
4:02
i love this i love this you sit and wait for hours for it and then it's got this
4:05
very friendly just hold on for a second we've got some updates for your pc no no
4:09
you had updates for my pc four hours ago this might take several minutes yeah
4:14
at this point what dennis
4:18
you want to hear my story i need you here from my story so i want to get out before we're done should we do the intro
4:22
first sure okay let's just whatever there's tech news we're gonna talk about
4:26
some stuff next gen Intel road map leaks also google oh my goodness search engine
4:30
there's rumors about apple's worth a trillion dollars boom crazy
4:48
people are hating on the ubiquity
4:52
haters it's one of those technology categories
4:55
where it's just entirely responsible yeah it's greater greater than greater
4:59
than it's greater than greater than oh
5:03
because you've got Linux fanboys in the mix too no that's freebsd yeah whatever
5:08
you know what i mean um actually
5:14
oh gosh anyways okay so did you remember at the end of last stream how i revealed how i
5:19
i finally bought a new chair yeah oh what now
5:24
so the story of my chair is someone sat
5:27
on the ARM and it broke the like middle support so
5:31
basically my chair was tilted like this for four years in defense of your chair
5:36
that someone was very likely to break that chair yes yep yep in fairness to
5:41
your chair yep i mean but to like to compensate so i was
5:45
looking straight at my monitor i basically sat like this for four years
5:49
and then recently went to physio and he was like wow you
5:54
need a new chair you're an idiot so i decided to get a new chair did a whole
5:59
bunch of research took like a month over a month for the chair to show up it's
6:02
supposed to like keep you in a specific spot so that your spine is like
6:06
correctly aligned it's not supposed to be super comfortable it's
6:10
supposed to keep you in the right spot right it's kind of like a racing chair
6:14
except not for a car so it actually makes sense
6:18
for going fast on your computer yeah
6:22
anyways the expected ends up the expected delivery date was
6:27
uh august 6th you might notice it is not that day yet
6:31
i have had the chair for a while um on
6:35
i believe the 31st of the 30th i don't remember if it was this monday or this
6:38
tuesday i went out to get some lunch i had finished a relatively major
6:42
milestone you know i was like you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna reward myself
6:45
with a booster juice so i decided to go outside and get some boosters as i'm
6:49
walking out yeah it is not that cheap cost as much as a meal but then you have
6:53
to like four dollars yeah yeah i don't get them that often but i was like yeah
6:56
yeah i'm gonna this is this is good i was very more than four dollars i was very happy anyway carry on so i
7:04
i go walk outside as i'm walking outside i was like whoa there's a giant
7:07
cardboard box in the lawn that's weird and i just keep walking and then i'm
7:11
like i should probably like bring that inside just in case it's like my
7:14
upstairs neighbors and i go and i look at it closer and i see herman miller
7:19
plastered on the side of it and i'm like what they just left it on the lawn they
7:24
just left it on the lawn no notification text message no
7:28
notification email i had no idea i still
7:31
have no idea how long it was sitting there when i moved it there was very
7:34
much an impression in the grass so it had been sitting there for a while
7:39
possibly all night because sometimes i don't leave my house for a while
7:43
so i have no clue how long it was there
7:46
super expensive chair big logo on the side of the box just left in the front
7:50
lawn for who knows how long no notification that was there nothing they
7:54
didn't knock they didn't even notice they didn't nothing happened so i'm
7:58
immediately pissed off i i i bring it inside i go get my food i
8:03
come back i go to open it first of all there's like it's the worst cardboard
8:08
box as the outer shell that i've like ever seen and there's there's like rips where
8:12
the handles were because the guy's handling it and like i don't even blame them because if you try to pick it up it
8:17
just rips because it's just a terrible cardboard box right but i'm thinking in my head like oh it's there'll be an in
8:22
internal carton right no big deal i open that up nope not only is there no
8:26
internal carton that is literally the entire box for the chair there's also
8:29
zero packing foam or protection of any form at all in the entire box so it's
8:35
just the chair just sitting this rattling i was able to turn it around
8:39
while it was inside the box just because i wanted to kind of try it out and see
8:43
how it goes like it was actually the worst unboxing
8:47
experience that i have ever had that same day i like opened up a box for
8:51
a mouse and was like wow this is a way better experience than the ludicrously
8:56
obscenely illogically expensive chair that i just
8:59
bought i was so mad it's
9:03
fine it like creaks when you move around
9:06
it's mostly made out of plastic like it's it's really
9:10
like the ergonomic chair market is insane like it's if we want to open
9:15
another business we should just make ergonomic chairs because you can just
9:18
charge a billion percent on what it costs to make it yeah and everyone's
9:22
just clamoring all over you because they're all generally terrible it also
9:26
doesn't really feel that great like it's it's okay right but it's not
9:30
that's yeah okay so yes that seems like a really smart sale oh it's a brilliant
9:35
sales pitch it doesn't have to feel good it's ergonomic uh so it holds me in a
9:38
relatively good position so i'm probably going to end up keeping it because it'll
9:42
be good for my spine okay sounds good uh
9:45
the dr dude says i like really need to do something about that because my
9:48
spine's getting all weird because i sit like this all the time so yeah sounds
9:52
good okay let's do it up this all the time yeah like
9:56
so okay i'm probably gonna keep it except like the the base isn't foam
10:01
which is kind of cool because it's breathable but they use these plasticy
10:04
spring things and that's great in most areas except for where the reinforced
10:08
bar is right and you can like super feel this bar that is just under you all the time
10:13
have you tried the om-5 is this the uh we had like an orangey
10:18
one yeah we did a review of it so my problem with that was it didn't lock
10:22
the new one locks oh i might try that i can return my
10:26
chair uh you know what you should come over maybe come over in uh oh holy crap they
10:32
have me quoted on their website i should make sure what they're saying isn't like
10:35
Linus of Linus tech tips says the om5 is the most comfortable chair they probably
10:40
could have put some context around that i'm sure i did let's have a look
10:44
do they link right to the timestamp don't think so
10:48
i bet they do i bet they do no oh
10:52
nope all right well thanks for that guys yeah i'm sure i probably said that i've
10:56
tried something return it in what box someone said in the chat sorry to cut
10:59
you off i actually thought about this if i return the chair i'm wondering like
11:03
like if it shows up damaged is it my fault i have all of the original packaging
11:08
because it's a box so like there's really not a lot going on there
11:13
like but like who who gets in trouble if the chair is damaged when it when it
11:16
shows up anyway you should you should try um wait
11:20
oh actually i know i don't know if the whole thing locks but the ARM the armrest is locked like there's stuff
11:24
they've done so my problem was if i sat back at all yeah i would just
11:28
fall backwards so Yvonne has new ones
11:31
all right has one of the new ones okay so you i mean give it a shot just to
11:35
make sure because i'll try it one of my biggest problems with buying these
11:39
ludicrously expensive chairs yeah as well this one's not that bad it's 450
11:43
bucks that's way freaking better um is like you can't generally try them
11:47
anywhere yeah no not in canada if you're
11:50
in like la you can often go to a studio area and try them out but like i can so
11:55
i had to go off of like a whole bunch just like and buying anything like
11:59
clothing clothing or ergonomic food or
12:02
chairs like stuff that has a personal taste like a personalization element to
12:06
it online is really tough stuff yeah um like uh Yvonne ordered some flip-flops
12:11
off amazon and she just like they were cheaper than buying in store so that's
12:15
cool so she ordered two of them yeah just assuming that one of them would be
12:18
a horrible fit because because that's just the way it works and until we can
12:23
until we can 3d scan our foot and
12:26
submit that model off to something to to make sure something's going to fit for
12:30
us so there's nothing we can really do but i mean i'm actually perfectly fine
12:34
with them having that quote on there because it's still the most comfortable chair that i have and that i've tried um
12:38
i really like it so i don't know yeah i and like see people
12:43
are people are recommending stuff in here the problem is that it doesn't it
12:47
doesn't mean anything to me because i can't try it yeah the only reason that
12:50
i'm even bringing it up is because i have the newest one
12:53
at my house and you can come try it and like the only reason why i got the chair
12:58
that i have now is because marquez has it
13:02
yeah frank has it and i tried it at severus's streaming area
13:08
because it's his chair so i don't want this to come across wrong but i wouldn't
13:12
necessarily buy something because um
13:15
like here let's just pick one of them like let's say because marquez no i sat
13:19
down he bought a tesla surfboard that's a good point not because it's a good
13:23
surfboard because he's like he's a very like
13:27
he's he's very on point with like whatever
13:31
the coolest thing so the last point was the important one was semitis has the
13:34
same chair and i sat in it for a while right and was like okay this is holding
13:38
me in the right spot and it's the same reason why he has it he's a tall dude i
13:42
believe he's slightly taller than i am and it can hold his spine in place
13:50
all right so sorry to hear that
13:53
anyway that was just yeah it was just horrible it was weird because i i opened
13:57
opened a logitech mouse yeah and a herman miller chair right and i expected
14:01
like i expected the logitech mouse unboxing experience to be quite good it
14:06
exceeded expectations i expected the herman miller chair unboxing to be way
14:10
too much and for me to be like this is dumb i wish they didn't do so much
14:13
packaging because i could have saved some money and then it was like wow i
14:18
literally don't think they could have gotten it to me if i saved any amount of
14:21
money on the packaging because it wouldn't have made it or it would have been like some dude just like handing me
14:26
the chair because he had to like walk it from the truck rolling it yeah yeah like
14:30
rolling it here you go bud i've got it for you we're back we're
14:33
back in the back we're backing it up
14:38
so so so annoying give it some time and maybe logitech will just acquire herman
14:43
miller and then you won't have to worry about it just like we acquired our first
14:46
topic blue yeah logitech has acquired microphone
14:51
brand blue but don't be blue
14:57
um i don't know you might want to be blue about it
15:00
honestly there's not going to be much in terms of changes as far as we can tell
15:03
from logitech's blog post anyway so well okay i will also give them the
15:08
benefit of the doubt in the way that they have not made very noticeable very
15:13
large scale alterations to any other companies yeah like ultimate ears oh
15:17
hold on a second there have been there's been some
15:20
frustration with harmony harmony harmony remotes yeah
15:25
oh that's old though isn't it yeah but that doesn't mean that people didn't get
15:30
kind of bone no i hear you but they might have learned
15:33
from that we can help they haven't made it as far
15:37
as we can tell they haven't made a lot of changes to ultimate ears it seems
15:40
like this is kind of the thing right now though is
15:43
your your corsairs your razors and your logitechs of the world are just
15:49
scooping up any brand that kind of matters in the peripheral space like i
15:52
think we are we're so we're we're on this weird trajectory right now where
15:57
over the last i'd say five so so going back maybe a
16:03
year or two years ago and then five years before that we saw this incredible
16:09
burst in diversification in the peripheral space yeah so we went from
16:13
you know like every single person was making some form of keyboard yeah like
16:16
mechanical keyboards are a great example you had what like filco
16:20
ducky i mean do you remember when das keyboard mattered leopold yeah
16:26
so you had a handful of guys making mechanical keyboards and then you had
16:30
some more traditional brands that dabbled like steel series had one
16:34
mechanical or two okay the 6g and the 7g um and then all of a sudden
16:39
you walked around a show like ces or computex and you could find
16:44
literally 50 brands so it's something
16:48
keyboards gas is still relevant
16:51
to you oh um i'd like to ask you about remember
16:55
relevant is uh is a is a uh so they're
16:58
still relevant but they're not mainstream yeah they can be as relevant as they
17:03
want to a very small number of people
17:07
yeah but when you look at the definition of the word relevant
17:12
it's it's relative so
17:15
so they were more relevant before yeah they were in relative terms much more
17:20
relevant than they are now when you've got brands like Corsair
17:24
who you know for whom the the the monthly
17:28
sales of someone like das keyboard would be a rounding error like that would be
17:32
that that would be the samples they send out to to media when they launch a new
17:36
keyboard to make sure that everyone and their dog has tried the latest and
17:40
greatest Corsair and hopefully it's it's sitting in in places yeah exactly um so
17:47
so there's just there's this sort of relativity to to relevantness
17:52
relevantness relevantity i don't know i'm trying
17:56
which brings us to our first sponsor for the show today i mean it was just such a
17:59
perfect segue i kind of had to do it hey
18:02
corsairs strafe mark ii keyboard which
18:06
you can learn more about at the link right there it's a mechanical RGB
18:12
keyboard and is an update from the previous fan favorite strafe now with all the
18:16
features you've been asking for well not all the features you've been
18:20
asking for if you as me because i'm a big fan of cherry mx browns but it comes
18:24
in either cherry mx red or cherry mx silent switches with the reds offerings
18:29
linear smooth actuation while the silence dampens sound by 30 which is
18:33
great for users who stream that's actually a big deal keyboard noise so
18:37
cherry mx silent definitely recommended for that it's got 100 anti-ghosting with
18:41
104 key rollover meaning even if you type with your face all of your
18:44
keystrokes will be registered thank you luke for that demonstration it's got
18:48
eight mags of built-in storage to allow you to take all your RGB configurations and macro customization with you
18:52
anywhere you go and the top of the keyboard has a built-in
18:56
usb passthrough which i actually love that's a great feature that kind of
18:59
disappeared for a bit in the keyboard world and then is is back now apparently
19:03
which is terrific so check it out at Corsair.com or the link in the video
19:08
description oh i said the link was there but it's not it will be it will be below
19:12

21:18
today all right shall we do some tech news
21:22
news about tech sure next gen NVIDIA gtx the name has
21:29
apparently been settled
21:33
down let's go ahead and share my screen wow
21:36
i'm so surprised it'll be 20 80 and 20
21:39
70. that's kind of stupid i was expecting 1180 and 1170 we're
21:44
gonna win the day but i guess NVIDIA's kind of going well the rate at which we
21:48
release new generations of graphics cards
21:51
has significantly slowed down so in order for us to keep having numbers go
21:56
up at a nice you know nice good tick here we're we're
22:00
gonna have to chill out on the just increasing the second digit kind of
22:04
thing yeah um i think the first two by one going with
22:08
like if you if you increase the first digit
22:11
instead of this the way are we reading from the fourth digit
22:15
so we had the 780 and then we skipped 800 series because i don't know it's
22:20
unlucky or something who knows and then we had the 9 series and then we had the
22:23
10 series and now we get the 20. so when we so we when we go 30 40 50 60
22:29
70 80 90. do we get the 100 series yes
22:32
but then do we get the 200 series and then are we back to the 200 series
22:37
that's going to be confusing so in another like 20 years or so NVIDIA is
22:40
going to have to watch out for that train coming down the tracks
22:45
pretty slowly and won't happen for a while but that
22:49
could happen eventually um well because we had a 200 series
22:53
already but that was a three digit 200 series this would be the 200 and
22:58
280 series
23:03
the 2000 gtx 2080 you think they might
23:07
just end up almost dumping that version
23:10
and go like gtx like alpha one oh and like alpha two or they
23:15
could go straight to 300 because we never had a 300 series
23:20
oh yeah we're not i don't know
23:24
anyway manly technologies uh an NVIDIA
23:27
800 series was used in like mobile and stuff yes like oem only or some stupid
23:32
thing yeah uh manly technologies a vendor for NVIDIA GeForce gpus just
23:37
registered an ecc certificate with the name gtx 2070 and 2080 included in the
23:43
mix the GPU chips also contain ga104
23:47
and ga104 400
23:50
both of which should be ampere-based going by the code name so if you guys i
23:55
don't know if you guys ever noticed this but the second letter of an NVIDIA code
23:58
name is the architecture so gp would be GeForce pascal and then gf would be
24:04
g-force fermi so ga should be g-force ampere 104 means that once again we are
24:10
getting not a big chip yeah so 102 or
24:13
100 would be big chips um oh i forget
24:17
how it works uh what's the thing when when they had
24:21
to spin it twice i can't remember what was uh what was 580 gtx 580 they had to
24:27
spin it twice yeah so
24:30
gf-110 crap i can't remember i can't remember i
24:35
can't remember but there's there's one aspect of the code name that tells you
24:38
if they had to uh uh if the first run was good enough or
24:42
if they had to spin again oh
24:46
weird it's not it's not terribly important
24:49
so it's a real certification but it is also
24:53
still possible that the company is using placeholder names and the actual nomenclature is something else although
24:57
we are so close to when it is rumored to be announced at uh gamescom uh which
25:02
starts on august 21st that it is hard to
25:06
imagine that they're planning to do a switcheroo
25:10
at the last minute with that said i have seen
25:13
packaging on NVIDIA cards come in with like stickers over top of
25:17
old names and sometimes NVIDIA will will go so far to throw the industry for a
25:23
loop that they will legitimately charge
25:26
their customers so not like you the end user but customers like evga they will
25:31
literally charge their customers one price and then the day of the launch
25:36
announce that it's a completely different price and just issue a rebate
25:40
after the fact they have actually done that yeah
25:43
so those guys are like i i actually i mean
25:46
i've said this to enough people at NVIDIA's faces that i don't feel like
25:50
i'm talking behind their back but enough with the cloak and dagger bull
25:54
crap you guys just just just just release the release the
25:59
product okay just just chill it's just a graphics
26:03
card come on boys like this is not
26:07
no Linus we're sending people to the moon
26:10
no mars titan
26:17
can you do the next topic i can't i'm not even
26:20
i'm not going to give you the satisfaction gosh there's a super long
26:24
topic about a uk committee trying to battle fake news that i don't even
26:29
want to talk about it oh boy battling fake news um a levy on social media
26:35
wow so this is kind of like the uh do you remember that like oh we are going to
26:39
talk okay let's do it well i was going to talk about the le'veon blank cds that
26:44
we have here in canada what you don't know about this no yeah when you buy a
26:48
blank cd it comes with like uh i don't know it's like a couple cents or
26:51
something like that but basically it's fun piracy
26:56
no it's yeah it's to fund piracy funding buyers canadian government
27:02
um oh my goodness yeah no it's too theoretically to to fund anti-piracy
27:09
measures or reimburse organizations that lost money due to piracy or whatever
27:13
interesting because obviously you know itunes and spotify weren't a better
27:17
long-term solution than charging a levy on blank cds
27:22
um so so what they're proposing is a principle-based is print sorry
27:27
principle-based recommendations designed to be sufficiently adaptive to deal with
27:32
fast-moving technological development principle-based recommendations from the
27:36
government literally buzzword
27:40
um so it's a levy on social media and tech giants to fund expanding a major
27:45
investment in the uk's data watchdogs so the body is able to attract and employ
27:49
more technically skilled engineers who can analyze current technologies and
27:52
have the capacity to predict future technologies
27:57
okay um i mean so it's not like there aren't
28:00
precedence for this this is similar to the way in which the banking sector pays
28:04
for the upkeep of the financial conduct authority
28:07
um there's a code for advertising through
28:11
social media during election periods limits to the most amount of money an
28:15
individual can donate um and a major increase in the maximum fine blah blah
28:19
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
28:23
okay so yeah there's gonna be
28:26
some interesting laws over the next little bit sorry i threw up a little in my mouth there
28:32
i didn't actually it's just a perp yeah and i was trying to hold it in so
28:35
that the poor headphone users at home didn't have to have burp sound like i
28:39
mean they ended up with it it was like really i didn't expect it to be so loud yeah it was very it was as unpleasant to
28:44
feel like it was for you to can't reproduce it yeah no you can't really do
28:48
that um Intel had some road map leaps which ironically are over on
28:53
videocards.com until doesn't make video cards at least not yet
28:57
maybe that'll be their new foray it is they hired roger kaduri well okay
29:02
you just got wrecked nope nope yeah okay hold on let's start making dedicated
29:06
comments go ahead it's not a card is it yeah it is
29:10
apparently oh actually yeah okay
29:15
um i was just having some fun with him they're actually making a physical
29:19
like PCIe card that's the plan apparently
29:23
yeah this is a word on the street okay like it's not on a road map anyway
29:27
because i knew i i knew they brought him on to help with the like oh we're gonna
29:30
have your the the like AMD or sorry the Radeon group technology on CPU and we
29:36
want like one oh no yeah no i think that um i think that collaboration between
29:40
Intel and Radeon technologies might if
29:44
anything be more strained yeah like i don't think
29:47
AMD was super thrilled about raja
29:51
moving on all right i do wonder how much a raja kaduri cost like if i wanted to
29:56
hire raja like how how would that even how would
29:59
that even work like how do you poach a guy like that and i wonder literally industry legend
30:04
yeah yeah yeah and i wonder what kind of like
30:07
benefit style stuff you'd have to bundle in yeah
30:10
you'd probably he'd probably have to like he'd probably have to have like uh
30:14
you know like in a because he can't just be money like it'd have to be like in in like
30:19
dogs you know or like uh well no i don't
30:22
know like there'd have to be some kind of like additional benefit like you'd
30:26
have to have like a like a guaranteed like staff like you're gonna have two personal
30:30
assistants and this and that so it's like it's more than just
30:34
money you'll have access to the the executive jet from time periods x to y
30:40
um you'll have this much sabbatical every two years and like like that kind
30:44
of thing like i i would be really curious because beyond a certain point
30:49
not everyone but a lot of people will stop caring at least as much about money
30:53
yeah and it will take astronomically more to make it really worth their while
30:57
so you want to start putting in other stuff yeah you have to start building like a
31:01
benefits package i've actually spent very little time with people who i would
31:05
consider to be like real executives
31:09
but um i did spend some time with the
31:12
executive assistant of an executive at a very large tech
31:17
company a little while ago i was i was at a dinner and uh i i ended up at the
31:21
table with like kind of the like the assistants and stuff yeah
31:26
and honestly the conversation there was far more interesting than what i would
31:30
have gotten sitting with the executives i think because it's all the like
31:33
like scuttlebutt so they have rules like um how often the executive assistant has
31:39
to swap out and that position is considered like a
31:43
really tough position because you actually end up doing like a
31:48
lot of the executive's actual work
31:52
um but it's considered a stepping stone
31:55
because you just have all this access to other executives and like so you get
32:00
your name out there you get your name out there and so they swap like between
32:03
involved or you just only you have like six months to like make your mark it's
32:08
more than that i think it's like two years or something like that but then you have to hire
32:12
a new one and then that person goes on to a different position because remember
32:15
that a lot of a lot of large companies have policies and programs in place
32:20
where people can change jobs quite frequently within the company and it's
32:24
something that's encouraged yeah just so that people won't stagnate
32:28
but so that they can retain their best talent see my strategy for that is to
32:32
force people to work on things that they don't want to work on so that when
32:35
they're done that they get to go back to work on something that they want to work on and they can be excited to go to work
32:40
just to go back to their regular job okay
32:43
thanks guys sorry aj
32:47
you're almost done dude in other news here's that leak we were talking about
32:50
so apparently there's some kind of
32:54
new is he in chat oh that doesn't work luke
33:00
he told me it did is he lying to me because i'd love to know
33:06
i'm watching for watching for aj
33:09
is he misleading me oh boy does Floatplane even exist like is this
33:14
do you even work for us
33:18
oh boy dot dot dot
33:23
that mean meanwhile luke's just been siphoning all the money yeah
33:27
um and aj's like what there was money the
33:31
Floatplane what's that um
33:35
all right so okay okay this road map so
33:38
apparently in 2018 we are getting a uh a
33:42
9700k okay according to the the roadmap
33:45
leak and then sometime in q3 of 2018
33:49
there's going to be something called a 9900k
33:54
which is going to be higher end than the existing uh core i9s or something
34:00
someone in chat said siphoning money to afford your chair technically i saved
34:03
for four and a half years yeah buy that should look at it that way yeah
34:07
technically i've saved for 10 years to replace my car so i should just run out
34:10
and buy a model x then right oh boy
34:13
by that logic oh this one was like highly recommended you
34:18
know what's really funny is i um i'm probably gonna return it
34:22
i'm supposed to be shopping for cars because i have made a commitment too
34:27
much okay i was gonna say when i drove up today like when it was pink and stuff
34:31
it was pretty bad you got the dick dick butt on the mirror or the on the
34:34
back window is pretty bad it's
34:38
bad now like it's like a different level
34:42
it actually looks like it has a disease i'm actually tired of it now like it's
34:47
the only car that i know of that i've ever looked at that i'm like that is
34:51
problematic like it's not even funny no it's just an eyesore it's
34:55
too far i haven't been pulled over yet i've been daily driving it
35:00
um okay you know what let's get through these leaks first so uh the 28 core part
35:05
that Intel teased back at computex is apparently going to be a brand new
35:08
market segment with a different chipset and socket i mean anyone who knows anything would have known that 3647
35:13
socket and then probably some kind of cut down version of their c620 whatever
35:18
chipsets um there's going to be a basin falls refresh in november 2018. okay glacier
35:24
falls but in production later blah blah blah blah blah okay so back to the car
35:29
so i have made a commitment to my wife
35:32
that i will replace it by the time the next service period rolls around
35:37
when's the next service now i committed to that because my intention was to sort
35:41
of just keep driving it yeah um because there's
35:45
going to be an it was another 8 000 kilometers about 5 000 miles left before
35:50
it needed to be serviced again um
35:54
but i'm starting to come around to getting on that uh a
35:58
little earlier but the stupid thing is that
36:01
honestly i i look i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie
36:05
to you guys i can afford a new car yeah
36:08
obviously we you know like and i don't even mean like
36:12
brand new car like i can afford to replace that car with something better
36:17
than that car probably most of you watching could
36:21
afford to replace that car with something better than that car you could
36:24
buy something for 500 bucks and it would probably be better than that okay shout
36:28
out be nice to my car okay it has served me well no no no i look it
36:33
has i'm allowed to talk i'm allowed to speak badly we thought it was you're not
36:37
we thought it was gonna die you haven't earned it we
36:41
we thought it was gonna die in 2013. yeah we were surprised it was still
36:46
alive in 2013. so so anyway um
36:51
uh so so i i i'm getting pretty tired of
36:54
it uh but my original plan was to just keep driving it until that service and
36:58
then figure she'd probably have gotten used to it by then and then just keep driving it but she's not getting used to
37:03
it i'm not getting used to it when you get
37:06
your new car yeah
37:10
it's not exciting at all uh you remember how we used uh i
37:14
probably uh used to have all those ideas of like
37:18
getting a computer in the trunk and having like screens on the back of
37:23
the seats yes i've wanted to do that with the minivan for a while the issue
37:27
is we can't find a sponsor oh yeah because we don't have the
37:31
expertise to like completely rework the interior of a car to do it properly yeah
37:35
and so we'd want to work we'd want to collaborate with like a shop that's
37:39
capable of that to like doing a good job of it and so there just be costs associated
37:44
and since it's not the kind of thing that actually has much practical use
37:48
it's not the kind of thing i just want to pay for out of pocket because it wouldn't be you could actually do
37:52
wireless for most of it yeah like pretty
37:55
much all of it but power and mounting the monitors yeah like i
38:00
wouldn't want it to be janky so there there are some possibilities and i
38:03
don't want to get too far into it but we have some ideas okay um
38:08
but what are you leaning towards the car at all
38:11
so that's the thing is i'm supposed to be car shopping because i have agreed
38:16
butcher and i want to i ended up spending probably a grand
38:20
total of about 40 minutes car shopping and since then all i've been researching
38:25
is motorcycles
38:29
there are some super cool electric motorcycles out there now
38:35
so i've never really had any desire to have one i know i i know i know shut up
38:40
i've never had any desire to replace my sv650s it's a 2003 but
38:46
that's the first year that it had fuel injection um okay question sidebar
38:51
question does that bike have abs ah no it doesn't because
38:56
that like wasn't a thing that blew my mind that's apparently a newer thing on
38:59
bikes abs yeah yeah yeah weird so yeah i know my bike doesn't have abs it's
39:03
pretty bare bones but it's got the v-twin engine which i
39:07
really like it's got lots of pull and the low RPM range um it's it's actually
39:12
especially now that i'm more used to it it's really light uh like it's not light
39:16
compared to a dual sport or something but it's but it's it's it's light it's
39:19
maneuverable and it's honestly got enough power
39:24
that unless you're an idiot you don't really
39:27
need more than that like if you're doing anything other than going in a straight
39:32
line um there's not much reason to have much
39:35
more power than that at least on the road like on the track a
39:39
whole different story whatever talk about your favorite track bike amongst
39:43
yourselves please um but
39:47
there's there's there's this bike called the
39:51
lightning that shut up
39:55
to 16. trying to roast me about a chair zero to six is like recommended by a
39:58
physiotherapist because my back has problems and you want to replace your
40:02
car with a bike and you already have a perfectly good bike 0-60 in two seconds
40:10
how do you stay on it i want to find out
40:16
oh my goodness oh man uh is this here so
40:20
is this your midlife crisis the funny thing about it is i've always
40:23
joked with my wife like i couldn't possibly have a midlife crisis because
40:27
i've been midlife crisising my whole life like i bought a motorcycle like
40:31
eight years ago yeah right yeah yeah um
40:35
so so the thing that the the thing about
40:38
bikes is that they're cheap and by cheap
40:43
i don't mean that 40 000 isn't a lot of money
40:46
i mean that for literally the fastest bike on the planet
40:51
compared to literally the fastest car on the planet
40:55
we're talking an order of magnitude difference in price
40:59
yeah so for the price of like a basic minivan
41:05
which i recently purchased you could have the fastest bike on the
41:10
planet zero to sixty in two seconds
41:15
but you can't even use it
41:18
oh you can accelerate especially an electric electric motor there's
41:22
dangerous takeoff yeah you can if your wheel spins i'd
41:27
love to learn to do a wheelie that's also not legal and the 650 yeah
41:32
on those on the road it's legal to do it elsewhere yeah they have like they have
41:37
like stunt riding courses and stuff like that'd be a lot of fun shut up
41:41
anyway anyway so i'm supposed to be shopping for a car
41:45
i have actually spent the vast majority of my time shopping for a bike now with
41:50
that said so would you sell yours
41:58
range on the lightning i think is like 150 200 miles
42:01
also someone in the uh someone in the chat had a question what is the
42:04
uh mileage or kilometers on your lambo
42:08
on the lambo it's about 200 and it's a little over two hundred and twenty
42:12
thousand is just the wrong thing yeah two hundred twenty 000. yeah a little over 220 000 kilometers there you go um
42:18
what the crap is this you know what's great is the mobile
42:21
version has shut up the mobile version of chrome has a thing
42:26
where when you're stuck in one of these back loops where it just keeps reloading
42:29
like it forwards you a few times so you can't spam click back to get back yeah
42:34
on the mobile version you can tell it don't let this page bring up any more prompts but the desktop version doesn't
42:38
that's lame Linus owns all lambo
42:42
welcome to the party dude uh yeah sure
42:46
uh we're talking about my civic
42:49
it's a joke it is a super
42:52
joke yeah so this this is this is the thing i've been looking at that's a nice
42:57
looking and by looking at i mean drooling over
43:01
oh it's so beautiful um
43:04
don't don't look at don't look at this wow don't look at that kind of thing okay um
43:10
let's see i'm just trying to remember the range yeah okay so the 20 kilowatt
43:13
hour battery pack is 160 to 100 and uh yeah 100 miles
43:18
range at highway speed but there's different battery pack options
43:21
so they're probably talking about this look how you knew that the basic yeah no
43:26
i i knew there were different batteries a couple things i still don't like it's
43:29
pretty heavy it's significantly heavier than mine
43:32
battery packs i'm assuming yeah it's probably mostly in the
43:36
batteries but so okay i haven't actually pitched this
43:39
to the wife yet but let me let me try something out on you and see how it goes
43:44
okay first i need to know though yes because
43:47
this would be important for her as well for sure
43:50
are you selling your bike sure i'll sell my bike i don't really have anywhere to
43:53
keep it and are are you then not replacing the car
43:57
oh no i'm i'll replace the car so you're gonna get this and a car okay just just
44:02
shut up shut up okay she's gonna ask me hold on hold on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
44:05
okay so glassy thing so so pretty much everyone and their dog has been like
44:10
you're a tech guy i got a model s that's boring okay right well that's
44:15
kind actually that's kind of my response to that because the funny thing about
44:19
the super civic is that it's horrible
44:23
but if your car is supposed to be
44:26
a reflection of something about you like your car does say something about
44:30
you the super civic for better or for worse
44:34
is the Linus mobile so you want something so rolling fast
44:39
and electric because you're super fast no no no that's no no it's not that it's
44:43
not that i just mean i mean it's been it's because this is a reflection of
44:46
your perspective been hard for no no i'm not talking about this right now i just mean it's been hard for me to replace
44:51
the super civic for multiple reasons one i hate car shopping yeah two
44:55
it really is such a it is such a perfect
44:59
fit for me not now but it was it was
45:02
before it got a little too fast now it's too much it was the soup it was the zero
45:06
f's mobile yeah super practical yeah
45:09
reliable cheap cheap standard super
45:12
cheap standard everything even Windows yeah that i wasn't a fan of no well the
45:16
Windows are okay no ac was a problem though yeah um it's getting worse every
45:20
year yeah it's been it was really bad we had a heat wave recently that sucked um
45:24
anyway so it's been like the me mobile and it's been hard to find
45:28
something that says anything about me a model doesn't
45:33
no that's my issue with the model s yeah the model s says absolutely nothing
45:37
about Linus sebastian the person other than oh you're a tech guy i get a model s
45:41
okay it's also really expensive it's also really expensive but but based on that
45:47
everyone's telling me to buy a model s i figure people won't be like mad
45:51
if i say look i haven't replaced my car in 10 years i'm getting a model s do you
45:54
think people would resent that i don't think people would be mad i
45:57
don't think it works for you i think it's ludicrously expensive
46:00
okay okay so so let's assume that people
46:05
you know and there's no right to repair on model s's on tesla i've heard a lot
46:08
about this recently oh right to repair on this is like like tesla and right to
46:12
repair are like not friends which this is i've very recently heard about this
46:16
but that's not a that's not so i'm gonna pitch something here i'm gonna pitch something here for the cost of one model
46:21
s i could get a clarity plug-in hybrid and
46:26
for the daily commute and
46:29
a super bike that doesn't mean you're supposed to spend that much money
46:33
it means that i could but it doesn't mean that you're supposed and it would
46:37
be the same as if i got a model s
46:40
but you shouldn't have gotten a model s
46:44
but i probably shouldn't do that okay i want to hear from twitch chat i need a second
46:48
opinion of course they're going to talk i need a second opinion second opinion
46:53
um okay okay people are like mkbhd got a
46:58
model s that makes a lot of sense don't know about lioness
47:01
um okay um
47:04
i could but am i gonna superbike means midlife crisis dude dude
47:09
what just right there okay vaughn can i pitch you something
47:13
this is really important okay
47:16
so so okay we need a straw poll really no no you gotta you gotta come on for a
47:20
minute here can you can you pull it up okay so i'll draw my scene no no no no
47:25
no she can just she can come she can come sit with me we're we're we're good friends here
47:30
you guys hang out sometimes yeah we can we're not afraid of a little bit of
47:34
physical contact made three babies you know okay oh all the keys in my pocket
47:38
are killing my thigh you're why are you still so bad at this what
47:42
it's killing my killing my lap actually i also have a keyboard in my pocket
47:45
that's not right okay okay that's not my fault okay i need to i need to reach the thing
47:49
okay so i'm gonna what is this question i run something by you get it or don't
47:54
get it because we don't want to tell you what's going on yet
47:57
okay so the model s um costs
48:01
i have the same reaction i have the same result okay so the model s costs uh
48:07
why is it why do they just put loan what is what is the difference between
48:12
lease and loan that's stupid like what is a what is a loan no a loan i think is
48:17
when you get financing oh financing why don't they just say financing well that
48:21
is what that means okay so a model s uh
48:24
is anywhere from okay the federal tax credit this is u.s oh crap okay well
48:28
whatever it's about 85 000 canadian
48:32
plus whatever i mean i would there's no way i wouldn't get the autopilot upgrade and
48:36
stuff like that so let's say about 80 to 90 000 canadian okay so would i be allowed to get a
48:42
model s why i thought you didn't want a model
48:45
this is not the point that's not the people don't want
48:50
so would i be allowed to get one i don't know it just has to make sense
48:54
okay but could i could i make some kind of argument that that would make sense
49:02
no probably not actually okay why
49:07
because it's not practical it's not really sheet seven
49:11
it's not really you see a minivan seats how many people and
49:15
costs a fraction of that okay yeah this much may be true
49:20
okay um i mean okay so
49:23
so from a practicality standpoint no but if it was just like i really want this
49:28
okay you could probably make that argument okay good good good good good okay that's all i need that's all i need
49:32
okay so now how about this
49:35
how about a very practical car that costs half as much
49:41
and a super bike that also costs half as
49:45
much
49:48
how about that you're not getting the super bike
49:53
but it's a lightning 0 to 60 in two seconds two seconds does that sound like
49:58
a good thing for the father of you don't want you to die we have life insurance
50:02
now that's so exciting
50:10
all right thank you that was worth a shot
50:16
oh my god you know it's funny that was fantastic i would say i should just do
50:19
it anyway oh i have to go i don't know we all have to go actually okay i would
50:22
say that i should just do it anyway but the cold hard truth is she completely
50:27
controls all the money yeah i wouldn't be able to buy a hamburger without her
50:31
knowing about it like it's actually a problem like i can't surprise her with a
50:34
gift or anything because all the credit credits draw withdraw
50:39
cash it's actually yeah but if i withdrew cash
50:42
it would seem very unusual if it was any more than like 100 bucks here and there
50:46
like i like to carry a little bit of cash because um a lot of places in
50:49
richmond only take cash yeah but that's the only reason i carry cash
50:53
so unless i like flip something on craigslist recently
50:57
i don't have a ton of i don't have a ton of cash on hand so if she saw like you
51:01
know a few hundred dollars come out of the account she'd be like hey does someone have your card someone have your
51:04
pen yeah you're like no no uh well what was this what was this withdrawal
51:08
because it's literally her job like actually her job every day to keep track
51:13
of all the money yeah no no it's not like a control freak thing she's just
51:16
literally the financial officer of both our family and our company
51:21
so yeah there'd be
51:24
okay well let me let me see the straw poll can i at least see the straw poll results i
51:28
haven't even seen it okay what's up what's the url here
51:31
