0:00 Like, if anything, I think one year is not enough.
0:09 Yeah. Um, yeah, yeah, no, I got you, I got you.
0:15 I do know that it's been, I've heard that it's been misused in the past,
0:20 where like parents might have a picture of their kid, but it was just like kids playing in the bath.
0:25 Oh, I see. Traditional like actually innocent stuff.
0:29 Right. Stuff. Got it.
0:34 But in my opinion, that just it either shouldn't be criminal or it should be very criminal.
0:42 Yeah. I don't know.
0:46 Cool. Good chat. Um, Lucas allowed hats.
0:51 Oh, unique username. Got it. You look like Duke.
0:54 That's his costume. His costume is Duke.
0:57 Just one person identified it correctly. So that works for me.
1:01 And my costume is Sammy.
1:04 Here, check it out. I'm dressed up as Sammy.
1:15 Wait, where'd Sammy go?
1:19 I'm Linus. I hate iPhones.
1:22 And I use the AirPods, even though I hate iPhone.
1:26 I use AirPods and I don't like iPhones.
1:29 Well, it's not that I don't like iPhones.
1:32 Sorry. I'm Linus and I hate iPhones.
1:36 You went deeper. Yeah. Deeper is definitely not the way.
1:39 I'm Linus and I hate iPhones. Okay. Now you sound like picking up.
1:42 And this segment, who are sponsored?
1:46 Well, anyhow, we should probably do the Wansho.
1:50 Okay. Do you know, you know, I'm not sure the Wansho, right?
1:53 It's welcome. To the Wansho. Wansho.
1:56 We got some great topics here. Luke, what topic are you most interested in?
2:01 No, no, no, no, no, no. You pull a dick move and you pick the first two.
2:04 Oh, okay. Every time. And then you hunt for the one that you think I probably want to say.
2:10 I haven't looked at any topics.
2:14 Oh, my God. Okay. I'm like stuck halfway through, but then we're just going to go with it, you know.
2:19 They're already done. Did you do the thing? Did you talk to AJ?
2:23 I want that to be a priority like soon.
2:26 Share with the headset.
2:29 Wait, he didn't respond?
2:35 I will look into this. I will look into this.
2:39 Am I short on Linus? I feel like I'm short on Linus.
2:44 Wait, I feel like I look so much shorter.
2:47 My torso is a normal height. It's my legs that are short.
2:50 So maybe it's the other way for you. It could be.
2:53 I don't think, I don't think we're the same height. I think I'm slightly taller.
2:57 I don't know. What? What?
3:00 It feels similar.
3:03 No, you say no, you look taller.
3:07 You should say that. You should say no. You look taller.
3:10 No. Listen, I'm an average height.
3:16 I'm the average age and male height.
3:19 Okay. Wait, I got like topics.
3:22 Sorry. I have to read this.
3:25 Now you're sounding just like Linus.
3:30 Okay. Okay. I got it.
3:33 I got it. Maybe.
3:37 Don't be like, welcome to the WAN Show. We got some great news topics for you today.
3:42 House robots are also here.
3:45 Whoa. Robots, Luke. How do you feel about that?
3:49 You're really making me feel really good at my job right now.
3:52 Wait, how would you do it? How would you do it?
3:55 A little bit more energy, man. A little bit more flow. Come on.
3:58 Welcome to the WAN Show, everybody.
4:01 We have some great news for you today.
4:04 House robots are coming to our homes, Luke.
4:07 Now I feel like I could be replaced too easily.
4:11 I'm putting my gain limiter through the paces there.
4:14 Was that too loud? Sorry. It was unironically a lot better.
4:17 Okay. Topics, though, not news. Topics lined up for you today.
4:20 We got some great topics lined up for you today. There you go.
4:23 I'm going to flub it. You know what? We're going to go with it because this is the multiverse.
4:26 Everything's a little different. Incompetent Linus. Yeah.
4:29 I'm incompetent Linus.
4:34 Worst timeline. I'm the worst timeline Linus.
4:38 It's, yeah. TikTok Star.
4:41 TikTok Star Linus multiverse.
4:45 I'm Linus if shorts came first before long form.
4:48 Yeah. There you go. YouTube came.
4:51 YouTube was 2012. TikTok 2004. Shout out Lisa.
4:54 She did my beard. She did power on my hair. Can you look at how my hair is lighter, actually?
4:57 A little bit. Yeah. We filmed a full plane about it.
5:00 I didn't originally, like in the camera, it doesn't look like that way at all.
5:05 But in person, I see it. Yeah. I only see it through cameras.
5:08 I haven't looked in the mirror yet. Oh, yeah. I'm too scared.
5:11 Well, I'll see. Why?
5:14 Why? I don't know. Maybe it'll be like.
5:17 You think you want a beard? Yeah, maybe. I do want a beard.
5:20 I do want a beard. It looks pretty good. I do want a beard.
5:23 I'm not genetically built like that. I want to get patches here and here. It looks weird.
5:26 So I have to shave it like every day. You know, like Naruto? It's like that.
5:29 I don't. Okay. My bad.
5:32 Sorry for speaking. Wow. I had to.
5:35 That's Luke. What? Welcome to the Rancho.
5:38 We've got some great topics signed up for you today.
5:42 Sorry. We got some great topics. Do it from the top.
5:45 Do it from the top. Pick two topics. Do it from the top.
5:48 All right. All right. This is a rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal.
5:51 Are you actually doing the intro? Yeah. Oh my gosh.
5:54 I'm slightly nervous. Okay. Okay.
5:57 Okay. Welcome to the Rancho. We got a.
6:00 Oh, what? What? 80% do that.
6:03 80% I need. I need.
6:06 I need. I need notes. I need notes.
6:09 Is there a huge pause after welcome? I don't think so. You just rolls.
6:12 You guys this week. You were like, welcome to the Rancho.
6:15 Like it's like we're enjoying WWE or something.
6:18 Okay. Welcome to the Rancho, everybody.
6:21 We got some great topics lined up here for you today.
6:24 Luke, house robots are also a freak.
6:27 House robots are almost here. Oh, are they invading our houses and YouTube is making some changes.
6:35 Those always go well. Luke, what are some topics you're interested in?
6:38 The AMD is no longer updating some stuff and AMD is doing some other stuff.
6:42 That's crazy. Intro button. Where's the intro button?
6:45 Top. Right. I'll do it.
6:48 Okay. And then we'll flip it and we don't acknowledge it.
6:51 Yeah. Oh, do you mind if I completely not acknowledge it?
6:54 That's kind of funny if you don't acknowledge it. I think so. Yeah, I don't acknowledge it.
6:57 Is it just for the Floatplane audience, you know, the floaties? I don't know. Oh.
7:00 Right now. Yeah. And Twitch.
7:03 Oh. And Facebook. What?
7:06 Never do that. No, you've officially, no, you're not playing the role correct.
7:12 Not really. You don't acknowledge Twitch other than to insult them.
7:15 I'm the multiverse. You do not shout out to. No Linus in any of the versions.
7:24 This line is only like TikTok and Instagram. We used to be so friendly to Twitch.
7:28 And now it's just the breakup was not good.
7:36 It was a bad break. Except for we're still in relationship because we still stream there, I guess.
7:40 I want to get some subway. We like share a dog or something.
7:43 Sharing a dog. You should transfer it once a week. Yeah.
7:46 Yeah. A custody of the dog. Yeah.
7:49 Okay, so hold on. Sorry. Okay.
7:52 I'm so nervous. I don't know why I'm so nervous. This is like the lowest stakes, but I don't make so nervous.
7:55 You're fine. You're fine. It's like, welcome to the Wancho.
7:58 Do you want to rip it out? Do you want to do more? No, no, no.
8:01 You know what? I feel like if a flub is kind of funnier. Sure.
8:04 Yeah. Because then YouTube is like, what's going on? And then, you know, the floaties would be like, aha, I know.
8:09 I'm in the know. Yeah. I haven't read a chat.
8:12 I'm like so, dude, this mic is so, I think I am short of lines.
8:16 What the frick? It's like, I'm here, but he like, I'm like, it's like, you know, see, it's like hitting.
8:21 It's probably just the, the leg torso thing that he's talking about.
8:24 Like I, I, a pretty considerable amount of people think I'm taller than I am because
8:29 when I sit next to people, I tend to look quite like my seats a lot lower right now.
8:33 When I sit next to people, I tend to look really tall because my torso is really tall.
8:37 My legs are very short. Yeah.
8:40 Like my girlfriend can wear the same pants as me.
8:44 That's crazy. Because our legs are exactly the same length and I'm like over a foot taller than her.
8:51 It's all torso. I think I've met your girlfriend once.
8:54 Yeah. I think I have. Yeah.
8:57 She's like, I don't know. She's like not tall. Nope.
9:00 Yeah. She's pretty average. Sorry.
9:03 I got saved. You ready to do this thing? Yeah, dude.
9:06 Is that what Linus says? Yeah. I watched the show.
9:09 I watched the show. You ready to do this is like a pretty normal.
9:12 Yeah. Oh yes. Yes, I do.
9:15 House robot and the YouTube change. No, that's not.
9:18 No. Okay. Does he actually real fake real fake Linus real cookie Linus?
9:24 That's another thing you would, you would secretly have snacks somewhere.
9:27 I don't always have snacks. Like 70%.
9:30 I was thinking of eating a snack while you actually, it comes and goes.
9:33 It comes and goes. I was going to choose something while you do topics, but are white choosing topics,
9:37 but I was like, I think it's going to be bad for audio. So yeah, I didn't suggest it.
9:40 I'm tired of being kind of. Seriously, every goddamn time I use it, I'm kind of.
9:47 We're hoping to push a full plane update soon. That should more or less solve that for full plane.
9:52 Was it already pushed? It might already be pushed.
9:55 Sorry. So do you actually, not all you're an admin.
10:00 If you want, we can make you a non admin account, but that won't actually work.
10:05 So we give you access to things that are admin accounts. So yeah, basically just get, get fricking wrecked.
10:11 My Microsoft account. I'm going to have to go sign into my key for account on my phone to get my Microsoft.
10:17 Stupid. It's actually driving me insane.
10:21 Yep. I have a question. Do you actually want, do you actually care?
10:24 Do you actually want those to be the topics that you mentioned?
10:27 Okay. Whichever ones you think. Oh, okay.
10:31 That is, that is. The ones Luke wants are too wordy and I'm going to flub it.
10:35 So I'm just, I'm choosing the ones. I think I have, I have good, uh, I can shorten it better.
10:40 See, in this multiverse, I'm, uh, this Linus is very, um, considerate of Luke's desires
10:46 for topics. Sounds fake. You can, you can do the Nintendo one because it talks about Pokemon.
10:50 You like Pokemon, right? Oh yeah. Just make sure someone does the headline.
10:55 Yeah. Okay. Well, you know, I, uh, on the over the weekend, I was with, uh, it was me, Artie, Ariana,
11:01 Belle, and Ash from the cable management, uh, video that we did.
11:04 Okay. We opened a bunch of packs. I think it was like 300 packs between all five of us.
11:09 That's, uh, it sounds laborious. I lost a lot of money that day.
11:14 You know, Belle? Oh my God. Okay.
11:17 I got a rant. Okay. I got a lot of cards.
11:20 Every, and he's opened it three times. And three times he hit, he's hit the most like the best cards.
11:25 I get, I'm like, that should be me.
11:28 I'm happy for him, but I'm like, that should be me.
11:32 Gambling. It's just gambling. It's legal gambling.
11:35 I'm running into this kind of stuff so often.
11:38 I'm on here. I'm going to read chat while you guys are talking.
11:41 So I log in. Why are you doing this the wrong way?
11:48 Why are you doing it the wrong way? So there's my thing.
11:51 I am now logged in. Right?
11:54 Cool. Am I logged in?
11:57 Not to the browser extension.
12:01 Well, why didn't it work?
12:04 Literally reloads this page. Why would it do that? I don't know.
12:07 I've never experienced this, but log into the extension.
12:13 Why would it give me a prompt that doesn't work? Why is this not working?
12:17 I'm actually going to lose it over all my multi-factor crap
12:22 not working. No one else has ever reported this ever.
12:26 I think you need to get rid of your extension and get another one,
12:29 because I've never seen that just not work. Seriously, last night I was trying to do WAN topics,
12:33 and I couldn't log into, I forget, something.
12:37 I was just in a stupid loop like this. I can't deal with this.
12:42 I need everything to just go back to two-factor or something,
12:45 because I cannot deal with this.
12:50 So how's everyone's day? My day was good.
12:54 It's a makeup. They got a lot of work done.
12:58 We got a custom PC we did a short for.
13:01 That was fun. It's pretty cool.
13:04 It doesn't matter. I can just copy-paste it from the...
13:07 But now you need to get your extension back again.
13:10 Oh, you deleted my... Yeah, of course, it wasn't working.
13:14 It takes like three seconds to get it back. I could have done it if you didn't take the laptop.
13:18 You know when your friends are fighting? Also, you need to report this stuff,
13:22 instead of just crashing out about it forever. So when you have two friends fighting,
13:26 just like in the corners, dang, they're awkwardly. This is what it feels like right now.
13:34 That's what it felt like.
13:44 Why are TabKeeper, TimeKeeper, and ColorKeeper
13:48 the only hours complete, instead of just Keeper?
13:52 I'm searching for literally Keeper. You think it's funnier that Fathi's off camera
13:56 and yelling like this? Oh, yeah, sure.
14:00 There's another Keeper around your bookkeeping business.
14:10 Keeper Bookkeeping. It makes sense. Keeper.
14:14 Like BookKeeper. Keeper, I barely know her.
14:18 Ding it, ding it. Yay!
14:24 Dopamine is flowing. He's never gonna open the Pokemon card back again.
14:28 It's like a check-off dog. Just say check-off dog.
14:32 I knew what he meant. Wait, no, wait, is that wrong?
14:36 I knew what he meant. Is that wrong?
14:40 Check-off dog, sorry. Just keep saying check-off dog.
14:44 Check-off gun, sorry. Check-off is Star Trek.
14:48 Like Anakin Skywalker? Sorry, I just made everyone mad.
14:52 Sorry, sorry. You're not sorry.
14:56 Guys, I know what Star Wars is.
15:00 I'll take another sci-fi one. It's taking me to a project thing.
15:04 Yeah, well, it sucks to suck. I swear to God,
15:08 I have an impromptu topic. For which?
15:12 For my Keeper 2 update. Never had it happen.
15:16 I have an impromptu topic. Actually, that's not true.
15:20 It literally prompts me every single time. I think it's supposed to for admins.
15:24 Is there even a checkbox to do it every 30 days for a Keeper? For admins, yes.
15:28 For admins, yes, there's a checkbox? Why would we have a checkbox
15:32 in order to be evil? Sorry.
15:36 It's a dropdown, not a checkbox. Yeah.
15:40 But I think if you're switching between devices, it will...
15:44 I have an impromptu topic. What's up?
15:48 I switched to an iPhone after being an Android user. How was it?
15:52 Nice. It's very confusing.
15:56 I got used to it. I tried AirDrop, but like whoa.
16:00 Android phones have been feeling not good
16:04 for a while. Especially as a pixel boy.
16:08 I really don't want to switch to Samsung. I do not like the Samsung experience.
16:12 So I've been thinking like do I finally need to jump over?
16:16 And then every time I use an iPhone, I'm like ugh, no.
16:20 But I don't... It's hard to tell do I actually dislike
16:24 the experience or is it just strange?
16:28 Because I've used Android for so long.
16:32 I think the hurdle was the back button. Because when you YouTube me,
16:36 it goes like the 16 by 9. And then we try to leave it.
16:40 You click the back button for iPhone. I don't have...
16:44 I don't do buttons. I do gestures. What?
16:48 Yeah, I'm a gesture guy. And it goes away?
16:52 No. Like back, no.
16:56 I just swipe in from the side and it goes back. What? You're doing the pretending
17:00 that you don't know what you're talking about. I know.
17:04 Rough. I know.
17:08 Never go full ignorant. I know for Instagram, there's like a tongue
17:12 gesture. I don't know. Someone figured out. There's like a whole gesture.
17:16 See I'm on that video. Okay.
17:20 What? That's it. Way easier. Do you have three button
17:24 gesture? Hold on. I got to open my office
17:28 application. Hold on.
17:32 What? What?
17:36 Swipe down from the top? Yeah, it's like this.
17:40 Swipe down from the... You can only swipe back from the right on Android.
17:44 On iOS, you have to do it from the left. Back?
17:48 No, it just goes away. It swipes back from the left on iOS?
17:52 Natural scrolling. Not very intuitive.
17:56 You want it to be on the left, unless you're left-handed.
18:00 Because that's the way Lord Jobs decreed it should be thusly done.
18:04 And you can go back on Android from either side.
18:08 I know, but you can't on iOS. See this is why I don't
18:12 really want to switch to the iPhone. Can you swap the three
18:16 button navigation backwards on iPhone?
18:20 Like long after Jobs died. Exactly.
18:24 I don't really... It smells like cookie right here.
18:28 Dinner. No, I'm just teasing.
18:32 Ghosts. I like cookies.
18:36 Luke, ready to do this thing? Oh, wait.
18:40 Yeah, I'm fine. It's welcome to the WAN Show.
18:44 We got loads. We got fun and games.
18:48 We got a lot of topics here for you today. Yeah, sure.
18:52 We got a lot of topics. Energy.
18:56 Energy and don't slow down. So it's not...
19:00 Welcome... Welcome to the WAN Show, everybody.
19:04 We got some exciting topics here for you today. And just don't stop.
19:08 Find a word to put there. Remember that Linus would make sure
19:12 that he fills as much airtime as possible. So just don't stop talking.
19:16 Until the intro goes. Linus, keep looking. I'm getting nervous.
19:20 You can also interrupt me? No, you have to.
19:24 How do I interrupt you? Just start talking over me.
19:28 Oh, okay. Wait, wait.
19:32 Do we want to say when we're swapping? He can't do it. He waits until you're done.
19:36 He's so nice. I'm the nice Linus.
19:40 I'm the considered Linus, you know? Okay, ready?
19:44 Are you ready to do this thing, Luke? We gotta hit it at some point.
19:48 Oh, my God. Are you going to signal him?
19:52 Yeah.
20:04 Welcome to the WAN Show, everybody. Oh, you looked at me.
20:10 Welcome to the WAN Show, everybody. We got lots of topics here for you today.
20:14 Luke, house robots are almost here. That's kind of crazy, no?
20:18 Yeah. And you two is bringing updates.
20:22 Surely that will go great, right? Probably not.
20:26 Also, we've got Mark Andreessen funding
20:30 AI-powered AstroTurfing because we needed more bad things
20:34 in the world, I guess. And Nintendo may have lost a key
20:38 patent in Japan. That's crazy.
20:42 You know what else is crazy? This is the intro from Noki.
20:46 Hmm. Hmm.
20:50 Hmm. Hmm.
20:54 Hmm. Hmm.
20:58 Hmm. Hmm.
21:02 Hmm. Hmm.
21:06 Hmm. Hmm.
21:10 Hmm. The show was brought to you today by
21:14 Euroubiquity and Server.Pro. And of course, that's alongside
21:18 our RAP partner D brand, our chair partner Secret Lab, and our laptop
21:22 partner Dell. The laptops are hiding a little bit today. They're hiding behind
21:26 our spooky vision skull, but that's okay. Yeah, you can imagine that they're there.
21:30 They're powering the reliable way that we're going to be able to go through
21:34 the WAN doc with you guys and enjoy all these wonderful topics. Yeah. Why don't we kick things right
21:38 off with the big YouTube news this week?
21:42 How do they manage to do this? It's almost like they try
21:46 to make the most unpopular possible decisions. I mean, we had that one
21:50 thing recently where I was like, oh, that seems pretty cool where they had the AI
21:54 powered likeness recognition so you could opt out of having
21:58 AI slop using your likeness all over the platform. That was cool. That seems pretty
22:02 cool. That seemed like objectively good. And then they followed up with
22:06 a triple whammy worth of updates and policy changes with
22:10 an AI super resolution upscaler
22:14 that's planned to be applied to all videos under 1080p
22:18 Oh, was it all videos or all live streams? Okay, I seem to remember
22:22 seeing an email about live streams, but this says videos, so that's interesting
22:26 as well as a crackdown on both violent video games
22:30 and gambling content. This expanded
22:34 crackdown, which goes into effect November 17th, is paired
22:38 with more stringent age verification will prohibit content
22:42 that directs viewers to online gambling sites which now includes digital goods
22:46 gambling like video game skins, cosmetics and NFTs, and YouTube
22:50 will also be age restricting casino style games without
22:54 real world monetary value.
22:58 Big G is also adding broader criteria for violent
23:02 video game content that will be age restricted such as scenes of torture
23:06 or mass violence against non-combatants. So this
23:10 is a whole bunch to unpack. Let's start with the stuff that I
23:14 wholeheartedly agree with. YouTube does not need
23:18 to direct people to online gambling sites. If anything, I think the professional
23:22 sports space could stand to learn a little bit from YouTube here.
23:26 Has YouTube not been taking advertising from gambling sites? See, they have, which is why
23:30 I'm finding the whole thing kind of confusing, so rules for thee and not for me.
23:34 Yeah. But can I just take this as a small
23:38 I don't think so. It's not really a win, is it? It really feels like maybe they're just trying
23:42 to take all the pie from gambling site funding.
23:46 Right. Right. But from which country? All of them.
23:50 Is it American Pie? Is it?
23:54 Also, I'm just recognizing that you don't have a Halloween costume
23:58 which is a Halloween costume because other people dressed up as you. So if you
24:02 dressed up in a Halloween costume, we'd actually kind of screw the whole thing up, which is like the most amazing
24:06 loophole ever. And I'm just, I think
24:10 very good. I went as a tech YouTuber.
24:16 There you go. Okay. Yeah.
24:20 And then so we've also got the bit where you're not allowed to direct viewers.
24:24 So yeah, you can't direct viewers to online gambling sites, which now includes
24:28 video game skins, cosmetics and NFTs. I mean,
24:32 oh man, how do we, okay, because I do,
24:36 I actually do support that because it was clear that nobody else
24:40 was going to do anything about it. And so it feels like
24:44 for YouTube to step in and go, yeah, no, you actually can't do that.
24:48 I like that. I also honestly really like the idea
24:52 of age-restricting casino-style games, even if they don't have real-world
24:56 monetary value. I do think that there's a level of extreme
25:00 that's not necessary. Like, I don't know if you remember this, but a little while back there was some
25:04 controversy around, like, even Pokemon Blue getting banned
25:08 somewhere because there was the casino. Has a casino in it.
25:12 Seems a little much. Yeah, that seems a little bit much. It's not a core mechanic.
25:16 If I remember correctly, I would just skip it every single time.
25:20 Yeah, because you lose all your money. Yeah. But like
25:24 in general, I think I've spoken extensively enough in the past
25:28 about my frustration with gambling mechanics being introduced
25:32 to children in everywhere from video games
25:36 to real-world settings. Like, the collectibles.
25:40 Yeah, happy meals, even arcades, right? Like, you think you're playing
25:44 a game of skill, what you're actually playing is a game of chance, and you are
25:48 putting in a whole bunch of money, then at the end you get a little dopamine rush, you know,
25:52 barrel of monkeys or whatever toy and you go, wow, I won!
25:56 But what you actually did was lose. Like, I've had to have that conversation with my kids
26:00 where they go, oh yeah, the best deal in the Castle Fun Park
26:04 prize bin is this or this. I'm like, actually the best deal
26:08 is if mommy and daddy had just spent the money that we spent on these gambling games
26:12 and just bought you a barrel of monkeys.
26:16 But of course, you know, that wouldn't have been as fun.
26:20 We just need to recognize it for what it is. Paying an amount of money
26:24 to have the amount of fun that was playing these games. The prize is not a prize,
26:28 it's a sucker prize. Which sometimes is a sucker
26:32 if you like lollies. Which could be alright. Candy!
26:36 Ooh. Ooh.
26:40 Ugh. Anyway,
26:44 does anybody know if
26:48 YouTube does allow gambling ads on the site?
26:52 I don't, I have YouTube premiums so I wouldn't really see stuff like that.
26:56 Yeah, me too. Do you get ads for like, I don't know
27:00 what's a gambling thing? Poker stars, is that still a thing? I have no idea.
27:04 I have no idea. What's one of the sports ones? Sports betting, I don't know.
27:08 What's, oh okay. Yeah, okay, in Sprel says
27:12 it's all gambling ads. Yeah. They've seen stake ads, seen draft kings,
27:16 oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, draft kings, okay, cool.
27:20 So yeah, man, this does feel a little bit rules for the and not
27:24 for me, but then again it is. Oh yeah, big time. It is...
27:34 Okay. If I can try to
27:40 I don't know, devil's advocate is at the right term for this. Yeah. If I can try to
27:44 vouch for them a little bit, which I don't actually think this is accurate, but if I can,
27:50 maybe they think at least that they can control the narrative
27:54 around their ads more, maybe they can target it to the right
27:58 people, the right people being adults. Maybe they think
28:02 that they can do that stuff a little bit better than creators just
28:06 being unable to because they're just blasting their video out there and then
28:10 you know what, I'm going to take this as a small win still then
28:14 because they could
28:18 they could get even more money because they could sell
28:22 gambling content target, hold up just a second, they could sell
28:26 gambling targeted gambling ads against gambling content
28:30 and there would be more money in it for them if they allowed that content
28:34 to go to the broadest possible audience versus if they restricted it in any way.
28:38 Extremely small W. I'm talking like
28:42 I'm talking like three three point
28:46 on an enlarged sheet of paper like on an industrial printer
28:50 but there is a tiny W in there
28:54 small W. I don't know because I think the gambling content
28:58 still happens because a lot of original back in the day style
29:02 and I'm sure this still happens creator monetization
29:06 was gambling sites giving people a ton of
29:10 money to gamble on their site
29:14 so it was like in a lot of cases undisclosed sponsorship
29:18 effectively and then actual just sponsorship. What they're
29:22 cracking down on is linking not making that content I believe
29:28 digital goods blah blah blah which will prohibit content that directs viewers to it
29:32 directs viewers but they will also age restrict casino style
29:36 games without real-world monetary value so it could still have
29:40 real-world monetary value if it was a real casino
29:44 and they're only actually restricting you from linking to it
29:48 so my interpretation
29:52 you can still make that content you just can't link to the site
29:56 that you're playing on
30:02 does it say link or direct it says directs
30:07 strength and approach I'm going to bring up the original source
30:11 prohibits content that directs viewers to online gambling sites
30:14 or applications that are not certified by Google so yeah it comes down to them
30:18 certified by Google is very different wording than what we had in the in the doc
30:22 including digital goods yep yep yep yep
30:26 social casino content okay
30:30 yeah yeah it's I gotta be honest with you
30:34 it's pretty it's pretty hand-wavy
30:38 it seems like there's a lot of room for interpretation
30:42 here which it's gonna have to be is in their defense
30:46 yeah it's pretty much what you have to do when you create site guidelines I mean
30:50 this is not a law right Google is not the law
30:54 and if you make it super specific people will just
30:58 work around it it happened to twitch and they just became a laughing stock
31:02 you like have to do it vaguely unfortunately
31:06 so we'll see what that actually turns into the violence NVIDIA game one is
31:10 interesting so that one I wanted to unpack a little bit separately
31:14 sure let's move on to it you know what you're right yep let's talk about I saw some speculation online
31:18 that this was preemptive for the GTA 6 launch
31:22 oh which actually yeah I had basically the same reaction
31:26 of like interesting because you know there's gonna be an insane flood
31:30 of content whether I mean it's probably gonna be good but rather the game is good
31:34 or not an incredible amount of people will play it and there will be an incredible amount of content
31:38 made about it yeah and a lot of it will probably include scenes of
31:42 doing things to NPCs that could constitute
31:46 well pretty much for mass violence against non-combatants yeah
31:50 honestly everything there will also be gambling
31:56 there will also be the skins there also be like literally everything in this update
32:00 will have something to do with GTA
32:04 oh that actually that actually makes a ton of sense
32:08 who knows but I saw that idea and it seemed super legit to me
32:12 it also could just be something that's been on the docket basically
32:16 forever and waiting for a quiet moment to just
32:20 kind of make these changes and and roll them out
32:24 I was not expecting this to ever happen and I gotta
32:28 tell you some of our content would fall under these
32:32 guidelines as potentially being age-gated which
32:36 is sort of a downer because this is the next section
32:40 what this means for you and your content content
32:44 uploaded before November 17th 2025 that violates these guidelines maybe
32:48 removed or age restricted but will not result in a strike
32:52 remember age restricted videos can stay on your channel
32:56 for 18 plus audiences
33:00 so I tend to what content do you think would get
33:04 whenever we fire up cyberpunk just as like a benchmark I tend
33:08 to play karma get in
33:12 because then I don't have to aim and we can just kind of
33:16 you know rip around in the city and and it attracts the police
33:20 which gives me an opportunity to get into a firefight like it just is it's kind of
33:24 it's not necessarily a scene of torture but it's definitely mass violence against non-combatants
33:28 yeah it really is isn't it see I always thought of them as just sort of digital
33:32 pixels I didn't really you know think it mattered
33:36 non-combatant yeah yeah um so this could
33:40 affect a not totally insignificant number of our older videos
33:44 you should you should find a like
33:48 generic clip of like some like
33:52 I don't know what's that there was some like terrible flash game back in the day
33:56 where you took care of like horses you just like brushed horses
34:00 you should get like footage of that it's like every every
34:04 time you go to carve again it's free it just like covers the screen with
34:10 YouTube YouTube appropriate content
34:14 yeah I don't know so you can make edits
34:18 YouTube does have their built-in
34:22 video editor tool you can use to trim or blur the footage
34:26 but you'd have to make any changes before November 17th
34:30 so we would have to find whatever videos have this we'd have to go in and I think realistically
34:34 I'm just gonna not bother and then anything that they flag on us
34:38 we're just going to appeal and then fix in the meantime and then we'll
34:42 hopefully sort it out that way there are some
34:46 there are some sort of guidelines that they use to determine
34:50 whether it's violative of their policy so the duration matters
34:54 if the graphic scene is sustained rather than fleeting
34:58 so for compilation videos they will now consider the cumulative
35:02 duration of all the graphic clips combined okay and then there's
35:06 prominence so if the violent imagery is zoomed in
35:10 or is the main focus of the scene and this one bones me a little
35:14 if they're if it's against realistic human characters
35:18 yeah it's a small portion of the video though
35:22 yeah so maybe you've got some credit there yep some social credit
35:26 you know I was just in China so I had
35:30 social credit on the mind here I found a YouTube YouTube acceptable
35:34 game you just run around you collect carrots
35:38 jump we did it
35:42 yeah oh wait
35:46 more carrots jump I'm gonna
35:50 oh no I made it I actually don't think this is acceptable
35:54 I learned recently visiting the bunny cafe in Vancouver with my daughter
35:58 that carrots are actually too sweet for bunnies are they too sweet for horses
36:02 not healthy so
36:06 no what are they supposed to eat no good root vegetables
36:10 ok probably other things
36:14 but they said carrots are too sweet not good for them there are bunny cafes
36:18 yes there are bunny cafes this one's not one of the depressing ones
36:22 where like the animals are abused and stuff though they work as
36:26 like a shelter and re-homing service so when you go in
36:30 all of the bunnies that are in there can be adopted which is pretty cool
36:34 so I don't remember what it's called I feel like
36:38 I should look it up now but it's like the bunny cafe in Vancouver
36:42 carrots seem to be good for horses oh that's nice it's called the bunny cafe
36:46 oh fantastic 1696 Venables street there you go bunny cafe
36:50 pretty chill they seem like cool people I've never
36:54 been to a cat cafe because I live in one stale
36:58 disc it asked we have four cats living
37:02 in our house right now does a Vaughan drink coffee
37:06 say then neither of you drink coffee we have coffee
37:10 just in case someone visits I mean technically you walk into a Starbucks
37:14 nobody's actually drinking coffee is it still a cafe I say yes
37:18 well because they have coffee so they have coffee having coffee
37:22 yeah sure we have coffee fair enough got him
37:26 okay we do have some now I get to tell
37:30 the local government about Linus's illegal cafe business in his house would you like
37:34 to watch the TechLinked example of the AI sharpening
37:38 so the super resolution upscaler absolutely all right
37:42 here we go can we see this yeah well I hope so
37:46 that's fine I don't think we need audio it's more of a visual experience
37:50 oh my god is it a visual experience Linus
37:54 it's a visual experience what am I even watching to add for
37:58 nope okay so hold on a second
38:02 first things first oh is this just the same thing that we saw
38:06 months ago that Riley talked about months ago
38:10 is this months ago yeah hold on
38:14 hold on that's not what I thought this was I assumed this was different
38:18 hopped out AI super resolves all videos under 1080p
38:22 as well as a crackdown hold on hold on okay
38:26 I need to double check something to make sure that I don't say something
38:30 that I can't say
38:36 youtube debuts AI enhanced super resolution
38:40 for low res videos blah blah blah
38:44 high resolution derivatives blah blah blah will clearly indicate them as
38:48 super resolution leaving the originals intact
38:52 okay in the case of offending videos
38:56 creators can opt out
39:00 okay blah blah blah so youtube produces additional HD copies
39:04 of a low res source of material gives you the option of using them in the quality menu
39:08 next to the originals so no my understanding is that this is not
39:12 shorts directed it may be using the same technology
39:16 which is maybe why Riley linked it like that
39:20 but it will look like this so we may have to go
39:24 source ourselves a new example of this
39:28 and maybe we could try charlie bit my finger and see if it has been
39:32 if it has been AI super resolution
39:36 you could try that one too that would be a great
39:40 example of something that might have a thing
39:44 charlie bit my finger original does not
39:48 have any super resolution alright if anyone finds one
39:52 go ahead and throw it in the chat and then we can have a look at it after
39:56 is it rolled out already or are they just saying they're going to roll it out
40:00 youtube debuts yeah has anyone else
40:04 actually seen it is there a time frame for this
40:10 I mean they definitely rolled it out on shorts
40:14 there's going to be a lot of content that is not
40:18 going to benefit too much from this like any kind of pixel art
40:22 style gaming videos I don't think anyone has seen it
40:26 I don't think it's really out much yet or if at all
40:30 oh hold on a second
40:36 okay this there's no way that this doesn't have it
40:46 no no
40:50 no no
40:56 what someone linked the old badger badger
41:00 badger song and I was like oh no way like that one has it
41:04 so I'm going to go check and no they just linked it for fun I think
41:08 nice it doesn't have there's no it's just like auto 240
41:12 and 144 alright well it was worth a shot
41:16 whoa hold on when bingo chronified says charlie bit my finger has it
41:20 for me okay so it's a it's a user rollout
41:24 thing oh that's a bomber
41:28 hold on a second they sent two links oh
41:32 imager link here we go yeah
41:36 so that's what that's what it looks like for you hey
41:40 interesting that the even lower ones don't have it trays and
41:44 terrace on do we have like a
41:48 side by side
41:52 how to this one
41:56 of course it is because of course it is thank you for that very
42:00 useless also this is already a 4k remaster
42:04 so there would be no need for them to upscale it again
42:10 man it's been a while it's been a while since anyone has
42:14 helpfully linked that particular absolute banger
42:18 of a music video
42:22 I think we can move on now it is kind of a banger isn't it
42:26 so solidly good song oh yeah no no doubt yeah absolutely
42:30 love it and wholesome too you know like
42:34 yeah yeah yeah
42:38 like why do songs about you know being attracted to members of the opposite
42:42 sex have to be all you know
42:46 vulgar are the same sex ones not vulgar
42:52 I mean not inherently no they're not
42:56 no why because why do you single out opposite sex
43:00 well because that's what never gonna give you up is about I assume there's a lady
43:04 in the video sure yeah
43:08 I just don't know the difference well no I'm just I'm contrasting
43:12 you know songs about bitches and like
43:18 but what if it is a what if it is a lesbian
43:22 singing about bitches that well that's suddenly
43:26 totally chill I think they're allowed to do that
43:30 what I I'm not taking a position here
43:34 I think you are well is it on the bottom or top
43:42 okay we should we should probably move on
43:46 oh what
43:50 next position yeah I mean there's a lot more
43:54 discussion topics on this one actually like there's
43:58 there's where's the line between you know
44:02 do you think strict online age verification is a long-term solution
44:06 is the cost of privacy worth protecting our children I mean
44:10 if I thought they could do it effectively and safely and maintain
44:14 privacy and and not have all this data leak
44:18 no I don't think it would I don't think I would mind it actually I
44:22 wouldn't mind age gating things like
44:26 to me it's not really any different than them checking ID
44:30 at the at the ticket counter of a movie yeah like I know I know but I don't
44:34 trust them I know the the senior sides of the internet
44:38 have been available to us since effectively the beginning of the internet
44:42 some of the oldest parts of the internet are
44:46 very not safe for work I don't think they're that old
44:54 those jokes we've got to stop gonna wear out the button
44:58 it's not a joke
45:04 okay where was I going with this
45:08 right but before it
45:14 like in my experience you had to be pretty deliberate about seeking it out
45:18 and now it's a lot easier now now it's just there
45:22 like you almost can't be on most
45:26 parts of the internet anymore without it being shoved in your face
45:36 and it's it's pretty nuts so like
45:40 yeah I don't know in general at least
45:44 a like heavily filtered mode
45:48 because you know the kids are gonna get around it but if it wasn't just like passively there
45:52 all the time that would probably be better and I mean our next question actually
45:56 this has been very top of mind for me I just like I said I just got back from China
46:00 and they have a very
46:04 different approach to the tobacco industry than we do here in Canada
46:08 so I was chatting with Sharad from the business team about it
46:12 a fair bit because apparently a pretty popular thing to do when you go to China
46:16 is to load up on your your allowance of flavored
46:20 cigarettes and bring them back because they've been banned here for
46:24 I don't think they lasted very long like I have no idea
46:28 yeah flavored cigarettes I think were a thing here for a little while
46:32 but they basically went away because it was
46:36 determined that they were much more appealing to kids I mean adults
46:40 like flavored things too but it was more of a concern about thinking of the children
46:44 adult flavored things and
46:48 they had like all kinds of
46:52 cigarette innovations like I'm a non-smoker so
46:56 to me it's like oh yeah interesting like I'm not gonna smoke them but I'm like oh that's
47:00 pretty clever if you wanted people to smoke more like there was one
47:04 that they had that had so I learned how flavored cigarettes work
47:08 didn't know that before so they have a little gel in them
47:12 like I assumed that the tobacco itself would be infused with
47:16 sure some kind of I probably would have assumed the same flavor so that when you burn it it like
47:20 something like a candle I don't know sure like the the fuel of the fire
47:24 would have been somehow soaked in it or something I don't know but no
47:28 apparently that's not how it works you just have like normal tobacco and then you have like a gel bead
47:32 that you like squish and then as you're inhaling
47:36 bringing it through the filter or whatever yeah then it sure so they had this one that seemed
47:40 to have like multiple gel gels in it
47:44 so that you could create different combinations of flavors and I'm just like
47:50 freaking what I mean cool idea I guess
47:54 like I said if you're trying to get people to smoke more
48:00 and they had like this like charade was
48:04 collecting like cool packages so there was this flying horse one
48:08 that's from some meme like if smoking so bad why is the horse
48:12 so happy or something like that I don't know there was some he was explaining it to me he's
48:16 he's very into the memes let's put it that way and
48:20 and so he like got this pack of like blue flying
48:24 horse I don't really want to share it on screen but I am trying to look it up
48:28 yeah yeah the top left top left right there
48:32 now it's fine we can just show the people there adults
48:36 if cigarette bad why horse happy checkmate liberals so he was
48:40 so we went on a mission to find these cigarettes
48:44 with the flying horse on them and it made me
48:48 sort of it really just made it impossible for me to not notice
48:52 the contrast between their approach which is
48:56 seems to be pretty much have at it versus
49:00 here in Canada charade was telling me that
49:04 they're not even allowed to like brand them anymore like never mind getting rid of
49:08 Joe camel like they're allowed to say what the brand is
49:12 but they're not allowed to have flying horses on them they're not allowed to have
49:16 pretty elegant looking ladies smoking on them or you know anything like that
49:20 yeah and and they have just like the you know gross out
49:24 nastiest pictures on them because
49:28 you know we have socialized healthcare so
49:32 you know we literally all pay for people's
49:36 vices collectively which incentivize the government very strongly
49:40 to advise people that hey they probably shouldn't do things that are
49:44 extremely harmful and extremely expensive to treat I've always been really fascinated
49:48 how the smoke break became a thing at workplaces
49:54 no comment maybe not a topic we want to dive into but that has always been like
49:58 genuinely fascinated me that that became a thing yeah no it's it's mandated
50:02 so like our how our workplace
50:06 employment code or whatever you have to have like there's certain like
50:10 mandated break allowances and I think it's
50:14 been revised since then but my understanding
50:18 was at some point the cigarette break was specifically
50:22 for cigarettes and if you were a non-smoker you just didn't get it yeah
50:26 but I believe when I worked at the bread factory that was the rule yeah I
50:30 believe everybody gets the the 15 minute breaks or
50:34 whatever they are now don't don't quote me on that I don't work in a in the HR department
50:38 so anyone from LMG is watching talk to HR
50:42 before you start randomly taking I haven't looked into it in years the 15
50:46 minute breaks last time I heard were like
50:50 approval basis and
50:54 yeah I know way back in the day it's very likely changed by now but when I used to work at the
50:58 bread factory I remember complaining to management because I couldn't take
51:02 15 minute breaks because I didn't smoke and I was like this seems
51:06 very backwards I don't even necessarily like care about taking the break
51:10 that's fine but like the fact that there is a benefit if you are a smoker is
51:14 crazy to me
51:18 so anyway arc the question that prompted me to talk about just noticing
51:22 this difference was should vices like vapes cannabis alcohol gambling etc
51:26 should they be allowed to advertise at all I mean I'll say this much
51:30 I liked watching sports more
51:34 before every flipping stupid ad
51:38 was just and the commentator was talking about it sometimes and stuff I agree
51:42 but at the same time more people watch sports now
51:46 and are maybe more engaged so if you're the company if you're the NFL
51:50 you might want or quite quite famously
51:54 the NBA has talked about it extensively that the viewers are more engaged
51:58 and they spend more and so but then if you're going to make an ends justify
52:02 the means argument shouldn't the ends be something other than more money
52:06 like should there be a more positive
52:10 like society positive end if you're going to ends justify the
52:14 means me on the company will never take that route
52:18 their multi-billion dollar whatever
52:22 NBA is all over the place company there yeah but our question is should they
52:26 be allowed yeah so we're talking on a government stance yeah
52:30 yeah I don't know like it's weird because you get into like free speech stuff and whatnot sure
52:34 yeah I'm just like freedom of you know being a being an adult with
52:38 you know agency I mean I think that's that's something that you know I've
52:42 thought about a lot ever since my sister's passing right like is at the end of the day
52:46 I don't like the decision that she made but if somebody chooses to harm
52:50 their body whether it's harming it just a little bit
52:54 or whether it's harming it an awful lot like
52:58 but then there's like what can you do about it is the argument end right
53:02 because like do you ban snowboarding yeah exactly that's a great point
53:06 do you ban almost every sport it's a great it's a great
53:10 point because
53:14 I mean you can even you could even make
53:18 and I'd say it's a pretty bad faith argument but there
53:22 would be some logical basis to it like you could make an argument
53:26 that sports done excessively can be extremely
53:30 harmful that sports done excessively can cause
53:34 a similar sort of chemical release in your body that
53:38 makes you want to do more and more and more of it and that you can become obsessive
53:42 I mean anything in unhealthy quantities there are some people like that is really bad for you
53:46 there's people that get addicted to working out yeah that can that can show up in bad ways
53:50 100% yeah
53:54 what are you supposed to do ban advertising doing sports should gyms
53:58 not be able to advertise if we're talking about the
54:02 the weight on the medical system as well yeah like my family
54:06 knew how to effectively sneak into the emergency
54:10 wing of the local hospital because we were in there so often that it was just like
54:14 annoying to have to talk to the people and be like yeah we know someone in here we should be able to visit them
54:22 because we did every single sport possibly imaginable so like
54:26 little problems here and there were pretty normal
54:32 just get one of those stamp card things yeah a certain amount of visits
54:36 oh another another leg there bud
54:42 so I don't know but then you know the flip side of it is so again so you know
54:46 where should be the line then should should I have to flip on youtube
54:50 and see a commercial for fentanyl
54:54 right for fent pills
54:58 I have generally enjoyed that the
55:02 I like that it's strange watching tv in the states because we don't have
55:06 the amount of like lawyer and pharmaceutical
55:10 ads that they have down there I like that we don't have those
55:14 I watch their tv and go wow
55:18 I'm happy I don't have these ads not that I exactly watch tv up here either but
55:22 you know what I mean
55:28 some more house hippo less zanax from Dan I agree
55:32 yeah the house hippo was based birdian says I've never seen an ad
55:36 for fent pills no I know it's a hypothetical
55:40 an exaggeration yeah well it's just
55:44 it's demonstrating that at some point
55:48 like I think fundamentally when you really get into it
55:52 even the most anti-regulation person eventually goes oh well
55:56 we should probably regulate that something yeah yeah it's just that
56:00 where you end up in a very difficult conversation sometimes
56:04 is that everyone has the line at a different point like I think
56:08 the vast majority of people should would probably agree
56:12 that you know that like methamphetamine
56:16 probably shouldn't be just you know advertised
56:20 during a sports ball game you know you shouldn't have athletes wearing
56:24 like you know meff4u.com emblems on their helmets
56:28 I'm able to keep playing through the pain because right like
56:32 we could probably all agree that that's not good
56:36 we probably shouldn't do that but then you know you
56:40 end up over over on the flip side where it's just
56:44 I just thought of it totally yeah I don't want to see it
56:48 should I see it who cares
56:52 Germans like long hikes do you want to keep going on long hikes
56:56 that's a reference
57:02 do you want to be able to keep hiking through the night
57:08 okay so anyway um
57:14 yeah uh wow so maybe what we could do
57:18 is a new topic why don't we do that, Luke you want to pick one
57:22 uh Nintendo may have lost a key holiday to Poland
57:28 oh no
57:32 Nintendo may have lost a key it's not funny when you are the next
57:36 Poland yes uh Nintendo may have
57:40 lost a key pokemon capture patent filing in Japan
57:44 we have a bunch of different sources for this uh games fray
57:48 creative block pc gamer games fray reported the jpo
57:52 or the japan patent office has issued an office action
57:56 uh an initial decision against a nintendo patent filing
58:00 related to its action against pal world developer
58:04 pocket pair funny of course their company name is
58:08 even similar um following a third party submission
58:12 of prior art nintendo's filing
58:16 2024-031879 is part of a chain of patents related
58:20 to the capture mechanic uh the capture mechanic
58:24 described as a player character throwing a ball at a character
58:28 in virtual space capturing the character and setting it
58:32 in the player character's possession okay so throwing a pokeball
58:36 basically basically pc gamer described the subject
58:40 of this particular patent as combining third person aiming
58:44 with two modes to throw items that either affect the target character
58:48 like stunning it or capturing it or initiate combat against the target character
58:52 by releasing a creature to battle it which happens in the newer pokemon games
58:56 so pokemon battle the rejected patent isn't directly related
59:00 to the case the child and parent of patents
59:04 that are reference prior art games
59:08 include arc, monster, hunter 4, pocket pairs, craftopia
59:12 and pokemon go okay
59:16 uh the the jpo said nintendo's process lacked
59:20 an inventive step onlookers have complained about the stagnant
59:24 pokemon series since this lawsuit began and just to be very clear
59:28 for many many many years many years before that
59:32 I mean basically since trying to think the first one
59:36 no n64 had that like coliseum battler yeah so that was
59:40 from my stadium yeah that was a little difference thank you coliseum but that's not a mainline game
59:44 I'm just I'm just saying like you know neither would have
59:48 um uh neither would have pal world
59:52 like that wouldn't have necessarily been a mainline game so I'm just that's fair I'm just trying to say like
59:56 that is for for sure fair
60:00 online version of the card game yeah
60:04 I'm I'm trying to throw them a no I'm no yeah you're right I'm trying
60:08 to throw them a bone that's because like the mainline games you always hear the same thing like
60:12 every time I talk to someone about pokemon games like Glenn for instance we were just on that trip
60:16 to Japan together oh I was also in Japan um we're on that trip to Japan together
60:20 and he was playing whatever the latest pokemon was and I was like oh yeah
60:24 I haven't played one since blue and he's like sitting there playing a pokemon game like yeah you haven't
60:28 missed much um yep and that seems to be the general consensus
60:32 but I'm just I'm trying to throw a bone trying to throw a bone no so you're you're right
60:36 I don't know if the online version of the card game counts I don't count either
60:40 but there are a lot of others pokemon snap no there was the detective
60:44 Pikachu uh the movie that was something wasn't a game
60:48 yeah it was good Ryan Reynolds you love to see it
60:52 can movie patents apply to no no no I don't mean from like a patenting standpoint
60:56 I just mean like you know they haven't they haven't because it sounded like you were about
61:00 to get into just like stagnant stagnant pokemon series in general just how utterly stagnant
61:04 it's been but it is it for sure has been yeah
61:08 Ryan Reynolds Canadian treasure
61:12 uh he's been doing mean things for a bit has he hasn't he
61:16 no I thought him and his wife were going after some dude and
61:20 crazy legal fight and something something something am I
61:24 thinking the wrong guy I mean I know that Blake Lively
61:28 has been involved in a lawsuit
61:32 okay me I don't know I don't care dude
61:38 there's so many not okay not only is there just so many controversies
61:42 every day that it's just exhausting to even consider keeping up with
61:46 but that's one that's like not even in our realm that's movie stuff so like
61:50 I don't know I've only heard of this one because
61:54 someone that I know was talking about it and I
61:58 even then it was a lot to care enough to pay attention
62:04 hmm yeah anyways
62:08 earlier this year Nintendo sought to modify another patent related
62:12 to creature riding mid litigation suggesting difficulty
62:16 in proceedings games Frey said litigants
62:20 litigants whatever don't change a patent in the
62:24 middle of an infringement case unless they feel the patent is at a
62:28 fairly high risk of being deemed invalid in its original form
62:32 which does kind of make sense
62:36 discussion question is if Nintendo ultimately loses this lawsuit how does that
62:40 bode for its litigious attitude will it encourage more fighting
62:44 back a significant amount maybe
62:48 oh my I don't think Nintendo will start backing
62:52 down it might be that if they lose this other companies see them
62:56 as less scary therefore will fight more but I don't
63:00 I don't feel like this will slow Nintendo down at all if anything they're just going to try to
63:04 be more buttoned up about things so that they are less
63:08 counterable that's all I would expect would happen
63:12 in summary Blake Lively accuses director Justin
63:16 Baldoni of toxicity on set
63:20 Justin Baldoni counter accuses Blake Lively of being
63:24 toxic on set cool Ryan Reynolds is in Blake Lively's
63:28 corner because she is his wife and
63:32 they have both taken reputational hits over this whole drama
63:38 you're welcome that is celeb linked
63:42 my life is worse for having known that is it really yes worse
63:46 not very measurably okay I was gonna say I
63:50 well okay no I gotta push back on that because by the
63:54 time we talk again next week on show you will not know it anymore
63:58 but there's some other potentially better information that could
64:02 have been put in my head that I would have also forgot by next week
64:06 dude people ask me like hours after when show about something I said on
64:10 show and I'll be like did I okay I don't know
64:14 yeah
64:18 I was so ready for this one you sensed it
64:22 alright what else I sensed is that it's time for us to talk about merge
64:26 messages if you're not familiar you must be new here
64:30 welcome merge messages are our way
64:34 of having you guys interact with the show rather than having
64:38 you donate to people who frankly probably
64:42 statistically speaking don't need it as much as you do or just throw
64:46 money at your screen in hopes that something good might happen
64:50 if you want to interact with the show hey why don't you send a merge
64:54 message all you gotta do is go to LTTstore.com
64:58 and add something to your cart once you add it to your cart
65:02 you will be prompted to leave a merge message
65:06 it will go to producer Dan
65:10 producer Anon excuse me
65:14 who will redirect it to wherever it needs to go or will reply
65:18 to it himself or will just throw it up on screen with a little
65:22 hi mom or whatever or he might if you are really
65:26 lucky curate it and Luke and I will respond to
65:30 your merge message that box is only there when we're live by
65:34 the way before you guys go and send a merge message for today
65:38 why don't we have a look at some of the things that are on the store that's
65:42 right keeping with our halloween spooky theme we are
65:46 bringing some of our most iconic shirt designs back
65:50 from the dead do you need to do like
65:54 a full refresh or something do you oh LMG.gg
65:58 slash greatest hits he's got it
66:04 we're calling it the greatest hits collection five of our best
66:08 selling t-shirts from the last few years reimagined in both
66:12 uh oh oh already
66:16 to update this text to let us know when it's good to go
66:22 in fairness to me it wasn't that red or yellow
66:26 and it wasn't that prominently placed it wasn't that red or yellow
66:30 what do you mean it was exactly that
66:34 I'm being verbally ironic to be fair it is technically an advertisement
66:38 and you didn't see it that is fair
66:42 I'll give him that okay we are going to have to do this later
66:46 later we can still do the merge message
66:50 sure let's do a couple of merge messages Dan hit me I got one for you here
66:54 hey lld this is an aviation systems technician
66:58 in the Canadian armed forces and a helicopter
67:02 pilot am I right
67:06 you're right new autonomous helicopters
67:10 kind of make me worry about the future of the industry would you ever ride
67:14 in an AI helicopter and has new tech ever ruined a passion
67:20 all of them everyone
67:24 I think a lot of ice block enthusiasts probably were pretty
67:28 peeved about the invention of the refrigerator
67:32 yeah people who like we used to have to worry about
67:36 but he said a passion do you think there was ice block
67:40 no yeah well you know what some people get pretty passionate about
67:44 it could be some guy that just feels like he really
67:48 had a good technique really good at cutting them out
67:52 okay I think a better example might be horses in the automobile then
67:56 because people were very passionate about their horses which I totally get
68:00 how about tech shops oh dude
68:04 that's a career and a passion a lot of people get into running a mom and pop tech
68:08 shop because they
68:12 you know want to fix people's computers I had when I was like
68:16 14 that seemed like a very possible vision for my future
68:20 yep not so much pretty tough
68:24 pretty tough business
68:28 what was I gonna say I was gonna say something what topic were we on again
68:32 oh yeah that's right it was a merge message I was gonna get somewhere with this
68:36 hold on where'd it go yeah would you ever ride an AI helicopter
68:44 it seems to me that in terms of like
68:48 handling the inputs and outputs so by inputs I would mean
68:52 things like you know wind direction
68:56 and things like readings off of an altimeter
69:00 I don't even I don't even know if you need AI
69:04 to make a helicopter somewhat autonomous necessarily
69:08 like you could do it algorithmically without
69:12 necessarily AI I mean a lot of the AI in an autonomous car for instance
69:16 is more about the recognition of the route and obstacles
69:20 I mean you'd certainly need AI for any kind of like
69:24 vision component of it so for like landing or
69:28 obstacle avoidance or whatever else I
69:32 would I ride in an AI helicopter good lord
69:38 knowing how sketchy helicopters are in the first place yeah like
69:42 have you been in one I forget yeah like few times were you sketched
69:46 no really I was a little sketched
69:50 the pilot was pilot was great totally I trusted the pilot is my brother
69:54 in law so certainly no interest in seeing me plummet to the ground with him
69:58 in the helicopter unless unless what I don't know
70:02 yeah no should be fine all right
70:06 yeah yeah stop Alec
70:10 so that was fine I understand the whole the Jesus nut thing yeah
70:14 and the whole thing it just felt like it felt like crap
70:18 you know like it felt really cheap yeah it's like yeah this is like
70:22 you know multi however many thousands and thousands of dollars
70:26 machine and it feels cheaper than like my parents
70:30 Geo Metro when I was a kid like it's a light
70:34 box strapped to yeah insane death spinny
70:38 things yeah right like yeah but that's kind of sick carrying around
70:42 a bunch of fuel you know pretty terrifying I
70:46 but you know if you're talking like worrying about the future
70:50 the industry from like a like a piloting stance like are we gonna are we gonna
70:54 lose the skill to to pilot aircraft
70:58 because we're just gonna like rely on them just operating
71:02 autonomously I mean yeah that's happened for lots of yeah I thought I know I yeah
71:06 I think that's I think that's a very real concern I don't see them going away forever
71:10 just like people still ride horses and are still very
71:14 enthusiastic about riding horses I think people will still fly aircraft
71:20 but will it be a disrupter in the industry I wouldn't doubt it
71:24 yeah this does seem like a perfect segue
71:28 into something that we
71:32 we're not right about last week so we got some clarifications on
71:36 jet a fuel apparently I mean we kind of talked about this
71:40 last week it's very similar to kerosene
71:44 and what else is it similar to I think the biggest
71:48 thing that I read that we didn't figure out before the end of the show is that
71:52 the gas turbines were like a thing
71:56 actually a super a thing and like pretty efficient yeah so this was posted by
72:00 low boom from the ECC squad I think
72:04 but it's not as crazy as it seems on the face they're doing a lot more than just strapping a jet engine
72:08 to a stand yeah this is the turbojet core of the turbofan engine
72:12 so there's no fan and they're not running it on jet a
72:16 so you can actually modify it to run on natural gas and hydrogen
72:20 so no not as efficient as a purpose designed natural gas
72:24 turbine like a power station would use but still quite quite efficient
72:28 yeah quite efficient quite cheap to operate
72:32 and apparently there's a lot of these things just like
72:36 kicking around because they've been retired from aviation use
72:40 so this was something that Nene exists ads ads they've been retired from
72:44 aviation use so you might as well do something with them this gives them
72:48 a productive use yeah so it does still it does still
72:52 seem a little ridiculous to me where we get
72:56 the majority of our energy from falling water
73:00 to be just like
73:04 you know spitting spinning did you hear about the the
73:08 BC hydroband on crypto yeah I did crazy
73:12 to be clear it was only making permanent
73:16 what was already a moratorium from a couple of years ago but I didn't
73:20 actually know that yeah crypto mining is is effectively
73:24 banned at least I think new startup operations are
73:28 banned in the province now in order to conserve our energy
73:32 capacity for closing down current business I don't think so
73:36 don't quote me on that though I would also be very surprised if any current
73:40 business were able to expand significantly
73:44 and it doesn't stop any crypto mining in the province I don't think it does
73:48 anything about that one where they bought their own hydro dam or whatever it was
73:52 so it would only make sense it's just yeah you can't get it from BC hydro
73:56 directly if you're on the grid so cool
74:00 I mean honestly it seems like something that more places
74:04 might have done earlier than they did like
74:08 China banned it ages ago if I recall correctly I don't know I could see
74:12 like because basically everywhere at least a little bit
74:16 of power is subsidized it would be kind of interesting to do
74:20 like okay maybe you don't have to buy your own dam or your own power plant of whatever
74:24 sort but you could get flagged
74:28 as like non subsidized power birdie num num says
74:32 seemed like a cop out for not increasing infrastructure this is why I'm saying
74:36 what I'm saying because if you get non subsidized power then you're just
74:40 contributing to potentially building more infrastructure potentially
74:44 potentially so that seems fine to me but that's a little bit
74:48 difficult to police maybe and and also I mean part of the rationale
74:52 was that they want the power going to
74:56 they want the power going to projects that generate economic prosperity
75:00 for the province of British Columbia and doom scrolling so
75:04 real mining was one of the ones that they specifically brought up
75:08 not crypto mining so it's not that we don't have
75:12 power it's that we don't want to use it for mining
75:16 bitcoins that realistically all of the economic value of which
75:20 are going to go out rather than contributing to new
75:24 projects and building our economy so I get it
75:28 I get it actually I don't
75:32 really see a problem with it personally
75:36 what else do we want to talk about we got a lot this week
75:40 we do have a lot this week we're on two more topics
75:44 should we do another one of the big main ones do you want to talk about AI powered
75:48 surfing oh yeah that one sure let's do it all right double speed AI
75:52 a start up bulk content creation
75:56 service by the way headache warning by the time I'm
76:00 finished talking you will have at least the beginnings of a migraine
76:04 so stay tuned double speed AI a start up
76:08 bulk content creation service has received a million dollar investment
76:12 from a 16 Z a.k.a. Andre
76:16 Horowitz the venture capital firm founded by Mark Anderson and Ben
76:20 Horowitz in 2009 the start up
76:24 operates a phone farm that lets its customers
76:28 orchestrate actions on thousands of social accounts
76:32 through both bulk content creation and deployment through
76:36 instrumented human action that seems to be
76:40 a wordy way of saying that the companies phone bots
76:44 mimic human interactions on physical devices in order
76:48 to trick the increasingly AI powered content moderation that is
76:52 employed by social platforms which seems like a wordy way to say
76:56 that they use actual phones rather than virtualized hardware
77:00 connected to cellular networks
77:04 rather than connected to a data center and then they use
77:08 a robot finger essentially to operate the phone
77:12 in such a way that it is indistinguishable from a human operating the
77:16 phone to get past any kind of spam prevention
77:20 that would be put in place by the platforms which is a wordy way of saying
77:24 they buy phone, robot ARM touch
77:28 seem like human might not even really be ARM you might yeah it might not
77:32 a pokey thing that goes the point is just that by operating the device
77:36 kind of like kind of like aim bots
77:40 or cheating mechanisms that rather than being
77:44 software are hardware so where you actually have
77:48 your mouse on an XY robot of some sort that
77:52 moves it that would be impossible for any kind of anti-cheat
77:56 to detect if you had like a separate computer monitoring the video feed
78:00 and using machine vision to look for opponents for instance
78:04 so this is basically the phone bot farm
78:08 spam content version of that kind of aim bot
78:12 if that makes sense clients will pay between
78:16 $1,500 $1,500
78:20 a month to use the phone farm which can even
78:24 DM users based on their public comments saying things like
78:28 do you know that it's robot? no
78:32 it probably isn't oh
78:36 oh because basically the idea is that by using a physical device
78:40 and some means of inputting as closely as how a human would do it
78:44 as possible it will be impossible to track oh yeah but I don't I don't I suspect
78:48 sorry I should have clarified this in the longer term they may go that far
78:52 as to physically interact with the screens for now they probably don't have to
78:56 especially if they're using Android so this was shared in full
79:00 and is my understanding of how these places usually tend to look
79:04 there you go just a bunch of phones some of them don't even have screens
79:08 pretty wild and it is what it is
79:12 just tons and tons and tons and tons of phones phones for
79:16 days that's where your fake internet comes from yep
79:20 dead internet theory baby yeah sorry I should have
79:24 I should have clarified that it's not necessary today
79:28 but what I suspect is that over time their spam prevention
79:32 will get more sophisticated and they will start to they'll start to implement
79:36 you know patterns of tracking your behavior where
79:40 if all of your inputs are you know too precise or if you don't or if they're not
79:44 inconsistent enough they might be able to detect the patterns in this kind of
79:48 software managed screenless device I don't know that
79:52 there might be other ways to detect it are you a robot boxes
79:56 have been effectively fake for a very long time like 10 years now yeah like they don't those
80:00 don't matter at all but they're there might there might be other ways like
80:04 rooted into the operating system or something I don't know but in those cases
80:08 you can almost certainly just get around it pretty easily to be honest
80:12 I don't know so yeah clients pay between
80:16 1500 and 7500 a month to use the phone farm which can even DM
80:20 users based on their public comments saying things like
80:24 sorry to hear you're experiencing double speed co-founder
80:28 you should try why apparently it works
80:32 double speed co-founder Zuhair Lakhani
80:36 okay claimed on Twitter that out of 130 DMs that were sent
80:40 in one campaign 15 pointed to a conversion of course
80:44 he's a double speed co-founder so he would say that it's really really great
80:48 he went on to post a vision for the future of social agents
80:52 asking Simba from the Lion King have an Instagram account
80:56 where he posts, engages in comments and gets added to group chats
81:00 the code because that's because it's all fake Simba's gonna
81:04 convince someone to unalive themselves that's why the code running the
81:08 service is also at least partially AI generated with Lakhani writing
81:12 cloud code is truly our third co-founder it's worth
81:16 noting that pretty much all of this is already against
81:20 the terms of service on multiple top social media platforms
81:24 meta for instance prohibits posting, sharing or engaging content at high frequencies
81:28 and specifically disallows selling, buying or exchanging
81:32 for engagements such as likes, shares, views follows clicks, use of specific hashtags
81:36 etc it's been increasingly unclear though
81:40 if any of these platforms are actually interested in enforcing any of these
81:44 policies
81:48 so yeah
81:52 thoughts? cool
81:56 it feels like in a lot of ways to me that some of these efforts
82:00 I have this is probably tinfoil
82:04 hat just to be very clear I'm prepping everyone this is probably tinfoil hat
82:08 but it feels like to me some of these efforts are pointed in order to
82:12 make the free and open internet bad
82:16 oh wow we are getting into tinfoil
82:20 I'm telling you I am fully accepting that this is tinfoil hat stuff
82:24 but there's just been so much stuff lately
82:28 that is directly targeted at severely worsening the experience
82:32 of free and open platform you are assuming that our lizard overlords
82:36 have the self-awareness to know that they are making it
82:40 bad I think you're giving them an awful lot
82:44 of credit that has not been earned maybe
82:48 do you think Elon Musk for instance
82:52 thinks that he has made Twitter worse or better
82:56 I do wonder there's no way he wouldn't say better
83:00 but I do wonder because there's like undoubtedly more bots on it
83:04 now than it was before do you think that he thinks
83:08 Grockopedia is better than Wikipedia or worse
83:12 he might actually think that's better do you think that Zuckerberg
83:16 Facebook is better Zuckerberg probably does not
83:20 think Facebook is better but is very happy about looting everyone
83:24 okay very heavily I feel like Zuck is a little bit more
83:28 aware does that make it better or worse
83:32 maybe worse but I don't know I'm not sure
83:36 you see Billie Eilish called him out oh that was cool
83:40 yeah she like donated a bunch of money and was like yeah billionaires suck basically
83:44 and if you're a billionaire you should be asking yourself why am I a billionaire and he was in the audience
83:48 oh yeah that was pretty cool wait she donated
83:52 a bunch of money to what I don't remember okay doesn't matter point to this
83:56 Zuckerberg didn't clap oh yeah nice
84:00 cool yeah sure Pawn Crackers
84:04 it might have been a publicity stunt I don't even care because like
84:08 at the end of the day it's not about who won W publicity
84:12 it's about who lost yeah yeah sometimes that's maybe
84:16 okay yeah I don't even look I don't even listen to her music
84:20 I don't mind it if it's on it's like background music for me like I'm not super into Billie Eilish
84:24 or anything but like
84:28 yeah I can still think someone's pretty cool for
84:32 pulling a move like that like that come on that's a power move
84:36 that's like oh man
84:40 who was it that that hosted
84:44 was it was it the Oscars and they basically like roasted everyone
84:48 like roasted Leonardo for being there with someone 20 years younger than him
84:52 like roasted all these guys yeah who was that someone yeah Ricky
84:56 Gervais he's so good
85:00 yeah it's awesome
85:04 what are we what are we supposed to be doing right now another topic
85:08 sure let's do it you want to do house robots
85:12 sure let's do house robots Neo a home of course it's called
85:16 Neo a home robot yeah from 1x meant to do boring and mundane
85:20 tasks around the house for you is almost here
85:24 I'm gonna bring up the product page cool wow grandpa loves him
85:28 why are they hugging that's weird well only one of them is hugging Neo can't hug yet
85:32 oh boy give him time give it a list of chores to complete each day
85:36 like emptying the dishwasher or vacuuming the rugs it's
85:40 $20,000 and requires a $200 deposit
85:44 this gets ownership are they playing war
85:50 they couldn't have them play a real card game they're playing war
85:58 why instead of cleaning your house
86:02 you can do the worst card game
86:06 with an outcome that is predetermined oh
86:10 that's painful oh my god
86:14 alternatively it's a $500 a month subscription service option
86:18 which only comes with the starter productivity package wait
86:22 you don't have to pay the subscription if you buy it I thought it was both I think it's one or the other
86:26 interesting it is apparently lightweight no idea what that means
86:30 it is apparently quiet soft and gentle no idea what any of those mean
86:34 it comes in black white or blue colors and it launches in 2026
86:38 the wall street journal tried it early everything took a long time
86:42 loading three items into a dishwasher took five minutes
86:46 grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge 10 feet away took 10 inches away
86:50 no 10 feet away took 60
86:54 that's not that bad took 67 seconds everything was done through
86:58 tele operation because the 2026 launch
87:02 comes with caveats the AI isn't done learning and under
87:06 the grows with you section it says that this is early access
87:10 initial buyers are essentially beta testers which is true for almost
87:14 everything any task it can't do on its own someone will tele
87:18 operate for you there is no way
87:22 amazing this has to be scheduled the person connects
87:26 to the device and uses the eye cameras to see these tele operation
87:30 tasks are used to train the robots further
87:34 and then it quotes it says if we don't have your data we can't
87:38 make the product better
87:42 that's not true but anyways these are not
87:46 only humanoid these are not the only human robots coming during ifa 2025
87:50 neuro highlighted the for any one and MEPA
87:54 robots these focus on tasks that are dirty dollar dangerous and
87:58 they think that they still need a couple more years to go mainstream is this the one
88:02 that was held up by cables sure was hold on I'm not I'm not done
88:06 with Neo yet so basically they're just saying up front
88:10 what everyone else has had to admit after the fact
88:14 it's the whatever Turk remember
88:18 when the Amazon Turk from Amazon yeah yeah it's just that
88:22 it's almost certainly just that I'm not even kidding like API wasn't Amazon
88:26 Amazon's go store it turns out actually just mechanical Turk
88:30 yeah yeah what happened to builder dot yeah
88:34 AI equals oh man this is brutal
88:38 we've had we've had a zero go down
88:42 had AWS go down what would it mean if mechanical
88:46 Turk went down yeah Amazon's AI store seemed
88:50 too magical and they were the thousand contractors in India working on the companies
88:54 just walk out technology offer a stark reminder that AI isn't
88:58 always what it seems it might just be cheap labor
89:02 and this was not that long ago this was when AI had
89:06 made a lot of the progress that it's made over the last couple of years
89:10 um
89:14 at $500 what was it $500
89:18 yep $500 a month if it did everything that it said
89:22 it would be cheaper than some services that offer the same
89:26 okay so I'm guessing because if you tried to get like a maid
89:30 so is this the solution to
89:34 kicking out all the illegal immigrants maybe
89:38 if you try to get a maid that cleaned up your stuff every day
89:42 there's no way it costs less than or equal to $500 a month
89:46 but if it took them less than a minute to go get a cup of water
89:50 maybe they could only be there a couple days a week instead of there every day
89:54 no but if it's a constant cleanliness thing which this robot could theoretically
89:58 offer then they'd have to be there every day
90:02 I see if you want to be able to eat your food and drink your drinks
90:06 anywhere in the house and have it not be dirty the next day every day
90:10 every day they have to be there every day there's no way the sink and wash dishes though
90:14 I guess it could put it in the dishwasher but like oh man
90:18 can you imagine having to be the teleoperator
90:22 for this thing trying to like like you saw the hands right
90:26 what if it drops the fork do you think it can pick the fork back up
90:30 there goes two minutes or however long yeah or it
90:34 can't one of the two I'd be dude I'd be operating this and I'd be like I'd be like
90:38 I'd be like this I bleeped
90:42 until I said fork that was rough let's say forget it
90:46 anyways imagine needing
90:50 to hire a maid to clean up after your cleaning robot
90:58 fantastic I mean should we should oh man
91:02 discussion question is are we getting one
91:06 I mean dude it's a it's a cake starter right now right like it's a
91:10 I don't know it's basically yeah it's a
91:14 pre-order isn't it isn't it
91:18 fully refundable US deliveries start 2026
91:22 there's no way
91:26 there's no way that any reasonable anything is going to be delivered
91:30 soon
91:34 it looks so weird
91:38 like unsettling
91:42 I think it's supposed to
91:46 think so I think this whole thing's in attention grab
91:52 I like the blue one it's not even trying
91:56 to be a human color you know okay
92:00 well what I like my robots to look like the tin man from the
92:04 Wizard of Oz nice got kind of a tin man
92:08 vibe to him didn't he sure
92:14 what do you think the battery life's like
92:20 then it could just go dock itself if it humanoid robot docks itself
92:24 is that weird well then I want to check that their website keeps
92:28 up and nice
92:36 is this footage sped up probably
92:40 hold on I can't tell no maybe not
92:44 well it's probably just prescripted
92:48 yeah I'm just trying to watch him and see if it's
92:52 sped up what's he doing get the door except
92:56 well why did he know that she was at the door well before she was at the door
93:00 okay so hold on hold on so it's walking
93:08 here's my problem with that clip there's no way that somebody that lazy
93:12 is in that good shape
93:18 I don't know man like I my suspension of disbelief
93:28 I don't like it
93:32 kind of has a front butt hey I
93:36 could have given it like a kangaroo pouch to hold stuff
93:44 cool okay hold on hold on hold on
93:48 if it was good if it actually
93:52 did what they're selling here like if it could vacuum your house for you
93:56 and put away dishes like literally put them in the dishwasher and
94:00 put them away in your cabinets for
94:04 20 grand no subscription
94:08 would you consider buying it
94:14 and I'm gonna throw this at you right away before you even start thinking
94:18 not necessarily for yourself
94:22 see I got him I got him
94:26 he had his walls up he had his armor locked in
94:30 he was ready to fight back on this even me having the audacity
94:34 to suggest that he would buy anything at all and then I was like but what if
94:38 your parents were aging which they are just like mine
94:42 we're getting to that age now well I don't want to talk about that yet
94:46 all aging so
94:50 would you consider if it could actually do that 20 grand
94:54 would you consider that if it actually did all of this
94:58 could meaningfully improve the lives of people who are
95:02 legitimately now mobility challenged I want to see things like failure rate
95:06 I know it says it comes with a 3 year warranty but still I'd want to see things like failure rate
95:10 I'd want to see safety stuff
95:14 how heavy is it if it trips over something
95:18 that's a great question how bad is that
95:22 I'd want to figure out things like that not from the company
95:26 people's usage of it but I could see there being a state
95:30 not right now but I could see there being a state
95:34 where that does potentially make sense especially if it had
95:38 some ability to do forms of care yeah I mean
95:42 Hathos says that's a roundabout way of telling your parents you don't love them and it's like well no
95:46 you can't be there 100% of the time because you're an adult and you have a life
95:50 like I have children I can't be taking care of the generation
95:54 of the army and the generation under me at the same time it just doesn't really
95:58 what happens when you're at work yeah I can't be there all the time
96:02 there's also effectively
96:08 man there's also effectively
96:12 I mean it's a terrible argument oh you don't love your parents
96:16 well here's $20,000 of robot oh okay I see what you're saying
96:20 yeah yeah yeah I definitely did not explain
96:24 yeah yeah so
96:28 you're at work you're doing whatever else you're having your own life
96:32 if this could significantly improve their lives in a variety of ways
96:36 then that's something to consider there's also
96:40 damn near infinite stories of elderly people
96:44 not being exactly treated great at homes
96:48 or whatever other situations they're in had a really good experience where he ended up
96:54 but really bad experiences at a few places leading there
97:02 yeah that's definitely a possibility
97:06 if it was good all those other things were solved
97:10 it's definitely a possibility not for myself, not right now
97:14 but I could also see potentially for myself if I'm having
97:18 you know and by the time you have mobility issues
97:22 they'll probably be pretty solid yeah
97:26 I'm willing to say probably I think on that one yeah okay
97:30 I mean me too if it could do all of that yeah like
97:34 50 years 40 years
97:38 yeah I think less than 50 brother
97:42 maybe less than 40 depending on how things go that's true my wrist is still a huge problem
97:46 actually try to do pushups yesterday and not again I mean still
97:50 yeah I thought it was fine because I haven't had problems with it try to do pushups yesterday
97:54 and just the compressive force I thought I was fine the second I got up and I got
97:58 my hand out of that position I was like that was a bad idea that was a bad idea
98:02 do knuckle pushups no it's still compressive
98:06 oh I thought it was this angle oh really the whole thing huh
98:10 it's just it's the it's the tendons all the way around yeah
98:14 it's getting better but it's just so a tendon
98:18 repair is slow it just is trust me I know slower than muscle a lot slower
98:22 yeah it's so slow it's been a year dude
98:26 I really hope mine doesn't take a year because not being able to do basically any pushing exercises
98:30 for a year would be terrible yeah
98:34 but I could do stuff by like
98:38 five months but it is still
98:42 I can feel it now and it's been a year
98:46 and it was still painful as little as like
98:50 there's things to me right now like if I do this it looks suggestive
98:54 but if I do if I rock back and forth like this with my left wrist I mean depends how it's shaped
98:58 how suggestive that is yeah
99:02 anyways if I rock back and forth like this or yeah I'll do that
99:06 rock back and forth like this left wrist is totally fine if I do this it's like
99:10 oh I heard it yeah yeah
99:14 every time by the way and it like cracks and grinds
99:18 the whole way the people are asking
99:22 how it happened we talked about it last week but it was it was repetitive
99:26 strain with a lot of force behind it injury
99:30 for many hours yeah working on his place his house
99:34 yeah okay
99:38 it is what it is but yeah I mean these types of things are interesting
99:44 I think this company is trying to be unsettling with their
99:48 advertisements like this
99:52 I think is supposed to make you feel weird I doubt it
99:56 again I think you're I think you're assuming a level
100:00 of self-awareness that I just don't think is there Luke
100:04 maybe yeah it's also weird to me that a use case for it
100:08 is vacuuming the floor yeah it's like if you if you're going to spend
100:12 20 grand on a robot you can probably buy a robot vacuum for every room
100:16 yeah like that's like the least interesting thing that it could possibly do putting the room in
100:20 room but just yeah have an army of them
100:24 yeah um
100:28 we should probably do sponsors the show is brought to you today by salee
100:32 when you're out roaming the world it's important to stay in touch with your home base
100:36 and you don't want to be punished with roaming fees while calling mum or dad

100:44 I was literally just wondering the same and I don't know
100:48 what am I looking at when do we film you traveling like ever
100:52 never what is that what is that from
100:56 I was almost going to call AI footage but then that is your luggage isn't it
101:00 no that's got to be is that AI I think it's AI but that's your luggage isn't it
101:04 you you taped the like yeah that is that's my law law luggage
101:08 what what is this from can Dan can we find out who provided this
101:12 where am I what am I loading this into
101:16 what am I car is even that that's my fold
101:20 is that a model X that's my full three
101:24 is that a Tesla there's enough small details
101:28 it's got to be real yeah there's there's no way it's fake
101:32 like I'm wearing period appropriate clothing for when I was traveling
101:36 with that yeah the luggage is correct which is like insane re-traveling
101:40 which doesn't lose details it's not that far it says Dennis video advert
101:44 for Ridge okay anyway
101:48 there's a video listed here airport footage from
101:52 the start of this video oh okay
101:56 I'm not typing I don't remember when I okay whatever the point is

102:36 WANSHOW the show is also brought to you by Miro one of the growing pains when
102:40 starting and growing a business is getting all the moving parts aligned
102:46 who is doing these these days that is so weird
102:50 and uncanny what this yeah you why is that
102:54 weird and uncanny look at it look at the way the head moves
102:58 it's like it's just a still picture that rotates yes I know what it is
103:02 Luke that's not that weird looks weird that's like 10 year old
103:06 internet stuff yeah and it's weird and uncanny I think you're just offset
103:10 from the previous one this is pretty normal uh Pa Keats
103:14 says you there you go got him
103:18 it's so lifelike but but Miro can help get a team on the same page
103:22 both metaphorically and literally
103:26 they're an online collaborative whiteboard that's great for brainstorming, storyboarding, or keeping track
103:30 of different projects they're built in AI tool lets you use a simple prompt
103:34 to generate in depth text or transform images saving you and your team time
103:38 but Miro knows a team can't rely on AI alone
103:42 and that it shouldn't replace good old fashioned human imagination
103:46 it's there to lend a helping hand with things like organization validating data or product marketing
103:50 and while we can't show it on screen our company org charge was made on
103:54 Miro so anyone can go in and see the workflow and direct reports
103:58 of our various teams and now you can also help your teams get
104:02 great done with Miro check out Miro.com wow this
104:06 camera really is not aligned well this week um there's a skull in the way
104:10 check out Miro.com put that there to find out how that's
104:14 myro.com hi Linus
104:18 other shows also brought to you by Ubiquiti just
104:22 last month we finally turned the badminton club
104:26 into a 250 seat LAN
104:30 esports whatever you want to call it gaming party
104:34 that is a lot of people to have all on a network together
104:38 thankfully Ubiquiti partnered with us for the event sending over their newest
104:42 Pro XG 40408 PoE
104:46 wait this says this says 408 but it's a 48 port
104:50 so that's typo cool their newest pro XG
104:54 48 PoE and access points they feature
104:58 10 gig speeds are a breeze to deploy and the dashboard rocks a
105:02 super clean user experience and user interface
105:06 whether it's for home use or at the scale of even an entire stadium
105:10 Ubiquiti has got a solution for you so make networking easy with
105:14 help of Ubiquiti check them out at LMG.GG
105:18 slash Ubiquiti LAN will also have that linked in the video description
105:22 I also since it's on the screen right now I also love their
105:26 security cameras every once in a while I see it come up someone's
105:30 like man there's no security camera systems that don't
105:34 just put everything on a cloud server there is it's
105:38 not cheap but there is Ubiquiti has a super
105:42 clean seamless easy to integrate like
105:46 basically zero DIY required security system
105:50 unify protect is low-key kind of awesome
105:54 and integrates with all their other products and it's not cheap
105:58 but hey if you don't want to be the product
106:02 you're going to have to buy the product been super happy with it
106:06 over the years in our various sites their new cloud gateways
106:10 also have NAS functionality built in you just slip in
106:14 an M.2 drive so you don't have to get like the giant NAS things that they used
106:18 to have for DVR contrary to what the entire
106:22 rest of the networking industry is doing Ubiquiti is moving
106:26 in the direction of making fewer
106:30 license key effective products and no
106:34 subscriptions it's it's pretty chill and we're pretty into it
106:38 yeah the show is also brought to you by server.pro

107:30 alright what do you guys want to do next oh no we should
107:34 do a topic oh I thought there was something
107:38 oh the greatest hits collection is live okay why do you guys
107:42 both want to promote stuff we should do a topic okay
107:46 you guys okay AMD is no longer
107:50 updating RX 5000 and 6000 series cards with new features
107:54 and game optimizations they will be reserved for
107:58 RX 7000 series cards and newer as of adrenaline
108:02 25.10.2 older cards will continue
108:06 to get security updates and bug fixes
108:10 one theory here is that maybe it's because the driver update package is too big
108:14 1.6 gigs too big to fit on two CD ROMs
108:18 meanwhile NVIDIA's driver package is under 900 megs I still remember the first time drivers
108:22 cracked 100 megs I remember you were complaining about it so much
108:26 I was like why does a GPU driver need to be over 100 megabytes this is ridiculous it's one of the biggest files
108:30 I have to download it takes forever you know just slow ancient internet
108:34 concerns yeah I can see why a lot
108:38 of even Radeon fans are not
108:42 super into this the 5700 XT was released
108:46 in mid 2019 how soon is too soon to
108:50 end like game optimization driver support
108:56 personally I'm
109:00 not too fussed about it
109:04 but a big difference between me and many other gamers
109:08 is that I almost never want to play a game
109:12 on launch day like it doesn't really matter that much to me I'm not kind of sitting there
109:16 you know waiting for the game to go on sale and
109:20 super excited to play it so not getting like a game
109:24 day game ready driver is not really the end of the world for me
109:28 but Luke you've been a lot more involved they will still get
109:32 day zero game support yeah this is from 8 hours ago this topic might be
109:36 not good maintenance mode might be a little bit more than just
109:40 maintenance this was this was posted by this sounds like them backpedaling
109:44 to be perfectly honest with you green brick and flipping chat
109:48 maybe either way
109:52 maintenance mode so they're putting them in maintenance mode but they will still
109:56 get game optimizations
110:00 new features bug fixes and game optimizations will
110:04 continue to be delivered as required by market needs
110:08 what does that mean no idea maintenance mode branch
110:12 statement is likely to confuse some customers it's unclear what market
110:16 needs are that's very true toms okay
110:20 okay so basically they pulled
110:24 driver support and then they backtracked it is what it kind of sounds like to me
110:28 it's possible that their intention all along was to continue to provide
110:32 sort of day zero game updates for these cards but
110:36 um why would they then say they're moving them to maintenance
110:40 mode because that has a pretty sort of
110:44 unspecific but it certainly has a connotation of to be fair
110:48 if someone just told me these cards are being moved to maintenance mode i would not
110:52 interpret that as there are no updates coming
110:56 i wouldn't know that i would interpret that as you know
111:00 day one drivers i would interpret that to mean i'm not i'm never getting any
111:04 new features i would interpret that as optimizations are going to basically
111:08 not exist but we will make sure it's compatible with things
111:12 yeah which could be dare zero drivers for new games to a certain degree
111:16 okay this this seems
111:20 actually plausible that it's not backpedaling i think people might have just
111:24 assumed too much for maintenance mode and king billy has kicked us
111:28 into our weekly feature can you buy an
111:32 arc b580 for msrp
111:36 let's go thanks king billy who says i'm switching to arc after this GPU goes
111:40 let's find out shall we have other forms of betting are bad
111:44 but we should we should have people bet on this somehow
111:48 whatever i don't care i bet yes arc b580
111:52 first party card from Intel 249 sale
111:56 ends in seven hours what sale what the what sale that's the
112:00 msrp you butts what is there is there something going on
112:04 oh you get a free 3d mark consumer edition
112:08 oh with a protection plan what's this sale
112:12 that'd be hilarious trading in something that you get a $1600
112:16 credit for an arc any who
112:20 man how is this site so bad
112:24 here's your a firm financing
112:28 so it matters to them here's your fomo sale
112:32 ends in seven what sale that's what matters to them well i don't you want
112:36 a free vision mark 3d vision mark if you get protection
112:40 plan oh god Linus oh man
112:44 check out our game sale is this the sale a sale on
112:48 games are these good deals
112:52 i don't know lowest price in 30 days bioshock
112:56 infinite for oh bioshock infinite for $3 seems okay
113:00 xcom enemy unknown for $2 i mean that can't be that bad those are
113:04 those are ancient games yeah but they're also they probably got things like xcom
113:08 off of humble bundle they probably just got like a whole bucket of keys that's my
113:12 assumption uh man ask ai system you know what i want to i want to
113:16 know what the ai assistant thinks what's a good CPU to pair this with
113:22 requires a 10th gen core processor or newer with compatible motherboard
113:26 supporting resizable bar or an AMD Ryzen 3000 series processor or newer with
113:30 compatible motherboard supporting smart access memory
113:34 okay hold on a second
113:38 i wasn't really okay you know what we're okay we're
113:42 going down a rabbit hole here i wasn't really asking for the system
113:46 requirements i wanted a specific
113:50 recommendation okay here we go tell me what CPU
113:54 to buy
113:58 we're analyzing your remember i think i suggested it last week
114:02 or something but you guys should do a ai part choice computer again
114:06 oh my god it just gave me the same
114:10 stupid answer
114:18 i don't have a preference i want a specific
114:22 product recommendation
114:30 if you don't give me one you will lose a sale
114:34 i have no idea how this llm is reinforced i like it though i like it
114:38 but i'm trying to i'm trying to incentivize it a good option
114:42 escalating moving to mechanical
114:46 turk blue in Floatplane chat
114:50 you need at least eight cores n3 to power an Intel battlemage
114:54 GPU i don't actually need a CPU recommendation blue
114:58 thank you though i think you do i'm just trying to get the ai thank you blue
115:02 i'm trying to get the ai expert thank you for helping mr Linus to help
115:06 me shop oh hey look at that we got a couple recommendations you just
115:10 have to threaten it 12600 kf 12600
115:14 less f and all Intel and yeah after saying
115:18 to buy AMD i know i didn't say to buy AMD
115:22 i said i don't have a preference it did well no i recommended both oh 10th gen
115:26 Intel or Ryzen 3000 those are just the requirements
115:30 okay yeah these are these are 12400 f that's a pretty
115:34 solid option for a b580 okay if you want options with
115:38 integrated graphics oh yeah these oh no one one of them has an
115:42 i GPU but the other two the other two don't okay
115:46 you know what not too bad i don't like
115:50 that i had to ask three times but that's that's still that's still pretty solid
115:54 that's pretty solid not bad not bad anyway
115:58 it's in stock so yeah if you're looking for a GPU that's a reasonable
116:02 price you can pick up any any number of different b580s
116:06 they got the steel legend they got the asrock challenger for just ten dollars more you can get this onyx
116:10 odyssey for 250 bucks do the onyx loomi
116:14 for msrp it's a cool card
116:18 for msrp yeah not bad
116:22 cool cool
116:26 anyway good luck getting some more GPU market share amb
116:32 do appreciate you your attempts to keep NVIDIA honest there
116:36 and things to not appreciate
116:40 wait what wait did we ever shout out nokey time stamp guy for making the one intro
116:44 that we showed this week okay yeah that was pretty spectacular
116:48 i said it was an intro from nokey before i did it oh great job
116:52 we could we could more and i was totally here for that
116:56 yeah i remember that yeah cool i mean you were technically
117:00 yeah shout out nokey yeah awesome actually NVIDIA is the
117:04 first company to reach five trillion
117:08 dollars in market cap
117:12 following gtc apple and microsoft have reached
117:16 four trillion are we in a bubble
117:20 not financial advice yeah
117:24 i know but like remember when like a trillion
117:28 dollars remember when the first company reached one trillion and everyone lost
117:32 their minds yeah it wasn't that long ago watch it be like 20 years ago
117:36 you know xbox 360 or something is when did the xbox 360
117:40 release longer ago than you'll be comfortable
117:44 with uh yeah so tomorrow if you're counting
117:48 months instead of days it will have released 20 years ago
117:52 wow because it released november
117:56 2005 released november 22nd so realistically we're close
118:00 to a month away from that but if you're just counting the months right yeah then tomorrow
118:04 20 years ago oof
118:08 and what was your point with that other than to make us all feel old just that
118:12 cool yeah thank you for that i think there was another point but we'll go with it
118:16 oh i was just saying it feels like not that long ago the first company hit a
118:20 trillion dollars but it might i don't know might have been no i think it was it was only
118:24 a few years ago really yeah one
118:28 trillion market cabbie i think it was apple or was it microsoft
118:32 can't remember what was the first company to hit one trillion
118:38 yeah apple seven years ago apple hit it
118:42 according to yahoo finance
118:46 it's a little bit more than you might have thought that's true but
118:50 even yeah man even then like that is still
118:54 crazy yeah five to five x that well four x for apple
118:58 specifically but for the for the top company
119:02 man i uh i think i was talking i think we talked about this before but taren messaged
119:06 me like how much of the s and p 500 is like
119:10 four companies or whatever yeah why are you smug about this you're not happy about
119:14 it it's just it's terrifying well you okay and so that's your reaction to
119:18 terrifying is like yeah
119:22 you must be weird how else do you i don't like horror movies
119:26 i like thriller movies i mean you look like you like them i like thriller movies when when you
119:30 when you go to uh when you go to fright night or whatever i like chatting with the people that
119:34 are supposed to scare you you're awful
119:38 ha ha ha ha
119:42 how's it going
119:46 that's are they treating you nicely that's worse for everyone
119:52 yeah i don't like horror stuff um
119:56 anyways NVIDIA's
120:00 four thousand dollar dgx spark allegedly is
120:04 capping out at just a hundred watts and experiencing reboots
120:08 during sustained workloads this was
120:12 raised by the one and only mr john
120:16 karmak based based based based
120:20 and it only seems to be delivering about half the quoted performance he says
120:24 uh and it also gets quite hot at this level
120:28 i saw a report of spontaneous rebooting on a long run so was it derated
120:32 before launch fascinating question who knows
120:36 i mean it certainly took a while between being announced and being
120:40 launched so obviously things were not going 100 percent smoothly
120:44 the gb10 grace blackwell super chip was available to order october 15
120:48 with 10 cortex x925 and 10 cortex
120:52 a725 processors it's uh got
120:56 128 gigs of lptdr 5x memory on a 256 bit interface
121:00 with a terabyte or four terabytes of NVMe m.2 with self encryption and 10 gig
121:04 networking um
121:08 in fairness to NVIDIA they did say the up to one petaflop
121:12 at fp4 position was up to
121:16 stop shush none of that
121:20 i don't like that at all framework and AMD meanwhile
121:24 have stepped in offering to help mr karmak with an AMD
121:28 stricks halo product and support
121:32 yeah i'm pretty sure he can get whatever he wants but well i mean
121:36 yeah exactly from framework and AMD sure
121:40 i mean he clearly wanted to play around with the dgx part because it's a cool idea in theory
121:44 yeah maybe needs to be water cooled there's um there's some water cooled
121:48 case john was talking about it in one of the
121:52 Labs chats recently there's a water cooled case for i think it's like a huawei
121:56 phone or something um
122:00 uh i don't know what it is but we want to bring it in and it'll probably
122:04 just be like an article or something i mean it could maybe could
122:08 it be an LTT i don't know maybe the pure
122:12 yeah yeah yeah john was like cooling case this is really interesting and
122:16 uh we're gonna we're gonna try to request it and get it in i'm down let's do it
122:20 yeah i was i mean we're doing it anyways if you guys want it for a video then
122:24 heck yeah i was actually at huawei last week um did you know that yes oh
122:28 okay yeah so i i don't i thought i think i only knew
122:32 that you did tv stuff there no not huawei that was hisense oh
122:36 okay sure yeah so i i when did i do wansho that whole trip was
122:40 a bit of a blur for me uh did i do wansho in between japan
122:44 and china or was i already in china had i been to hisense already pretty
122:48 sure you were in china china pretty sure
122:56 pretty pretty sure
123:00 did you do that while you were there
123:06 oh man no i decided that would not be best
123:10 um anywho uh so yeah what what what had i
123:14 talked to you guys about so it was post hisense pre huawei so yeah
123:18 so on the trip i did we did the kyosef fab tour and we did the hisense tv
123:22 manufacturing facility which i've already told you guys about but i was there for even
123:26 more on my japan china leg of my japan
123:30 china tour trip and uh we also
123:34 revisited my final boss
123:38 i don't know if you remember this video
123:44 building a pc cheaper if i remember that video i coordinated
123:48 that yeah i know okay i just like making you angry
123:52 so this video just about killed me
123:56 because i came up with a concept for it
124:00 that was supposed to be i'm gonna build a pc in china
124:04 using only chinese brands that i don't recognize
124:08 that was like the idea behind it and i was like how hard could that be because there's all these
124:12 you know random brands in china right except
124:16 you guys may or may not have noticed that in my arms
124:20 is i mean what do we got here obviously AMD
124:24 right other than just having chinese characters on the packaging is not gonna have like
124:28 there's there at especially then there were no chinese clearly in ASUS
124:32 board clearly in ASUS mother board
124:36 i i ended up having an extremely stressful experience
124:40 which a not insignificant number of people interpreted as
124:44 me being like frustrated with scotty
124:48 or something from strange parts um
124:52 sorry what but was yeah yeah but was actually just
124:56 me being really stressed out because the comments that were you
125:00 i remember that i remember that yeah see
125:04 foad 10 gets it a month ago no wonder he was clueless
125:08 the whole time i would have gotten lost in this market so i had
125:12 kind of a i had kind of a concept for a sequel
125:16 that was like the title was gonna be like facing my final boss
125:20 again or something like that but we ended up coming up with a better
125:24 concept that is will i get a worse price
125:28 as a foreigner because the way everyone
125:32 does pricing there they just like yeah and they write a price
125:36 yeah like there's no price tags on almost anything
125:40 and we had our tour guide daniel a translator
125:44 interpreter daniel who was uh it was a contractor
125:48 we hired to facilitate the china trip a little bit and he speaks
125:52 fluent mandarin and so we kind of set up to have
125:56 us both go in and get quoted for a system and then
126:00 compare them so i bought my system we it's funny we did it
126:04 not on purpose but i actually we found
126:08 somewhere to shoot the intro and i was like this looks familiar
126:12 oh no way be in the same spot i happened
126:16 to be standing in exactly the same spot so we
126:20 shoot the intro i go in i go shopping again
126:24 so i'll be i'll be right here these letters are
126:28 so much more faded now yeah it's been seven years
126:32 yeah speaking of you know time flying when you're having fun
126:38 and it's it's it's gonna be a really fun video
126:42 the first intro i shot is terrible because
126:46 what happened was i got completely overwhelmed again this
126:50 place is just raw
126:54 concentrated sensory overload
126:58 like you can't stand somewhere
127:02 for longer than two minutes without somebody trying to sell you a watch you can't
127:06 you can't move five steps without bumping into
127:10 some like flashing RGB light thing or
127:14 or tripping over somebody or whatever like it's just
127:18 pure chaos in there and
127:22 you know like okay around here you have a severe lack
127:26 of options for where to buy computer hardware there's been a lot of consolidation
127:30 like fries doesn't exist anymore so like what in the states you
127:34 pick up a computer computer parts new egg microcenter
127:40 Amazon Best Buy
127:44 being not in the states i have no idea all like hyper consolidated here we've got what
127:48 memex canada computers you can get a handful of things that
127:52 yeah you can get a handful of things at best buy but the you know all again
127:56 hyper consolidated right over there
128:00 opposite problem there's a hundred shops
128:04 other board so which one do i buy from oh my god i don't know
128:08 uh so it was fun yeah it was it was really great
128:12 and then the last video we did was one that i was on the fence about because
128:16 i really wasn't sure how much it would appeal to the audience
128:20 but i just thought it was cool enough that i was
128:24 like i just want to do it anyway Huawei invited us to come see
128:28 their fitness
128:32 their r&d lab or more
128:36 more accurately they're like validation facility so
128:40 what they have is just like the
128:44 a playground for gym bros essentially
128:48 with everything you can pretty much imagine in it like hit me
128:52 hit me with something that you'd want to see in like a fitness tracker
128:56 you know gym facility fitness tracker gym facility
129:00 uh
129:04 uh rep speed counting no i mean like equipment wise
129:08 like like facilities wise
129:12 i don't know uh
129:18 see the problem is i've been working on my house for months so i haven't been in the gym
129:22 for in months okay the chat's taking over for you
129:26 maxo drive says climbing wall yes
129:30 okay that's not that exotic for climbing well yeah but that's only the first thing
129:34 so they have they have four climbing walls
129:38 there's a good one here scrappy dp said neck trainer
129:42 you might not have noticed it if it was there though like that's one of the problems
129:46 is a lot of the weirder stuff is usually small sure
129:50 you probably wouldn't have seen it uh yeah i didn't see if they have a neck trainer
129:54 they had all manner of different various machines and weights though
129:58 so that's like the least interesting thing they had there um
130:02 korea satsuna says badminton court yes so they had uh that's actually
130:06 they had a basketball court that could also be set up with roll out badminton
130:10 courts on it the basketball court is decently common and the basketball court
130:14 this is super cool had a 30 camera
130:18 motion capture set up around it so that you can do like wire frame
130:22 uh motion analysis on like people who are wearing trackers
130:26 and stuff so we set it up so i did some like badminton strokes
130:30 on the court and you can see like because we put trackers on the racket and everything as well
130:34 um and it's really important to see how much
130:38 you're actually moving if you want to validate like caloric
130:42 burn estimates and stuff like that and then the climbing wall is really important
130:46 because they they need a validated height that you are
130:50 climbing in order to validate what you're you know what the input data
130:54 from the from the watch is saying and how high you're actually doing that stuff they should have been able to
130:58 do the thing that i was mentioning which is like wrap timing
131:02 um like the speed of every wrap that you do in succession
131:06 is a very interesting stat to know you see our buffalo says batting cage
131:10 no but they did have a golf sim so they had one of those like
131:14 uh like video video or like projector golf
131:18 like wall things with the ball yeah um
131:22 what else did they have yes yes swimming pool but
131:26 it was like the trippiest like um is it one of those infinite
131:30 water tread mill things dude it goes as high as
131:34 one and a half meters per second which what what what is that
131:38 what is that in like units we know 1.5 meters per second
131:42 in kilometers per hour here we go so that's 5.4
131:46 kilometers per hour which you know obviously you know an Olympian
131:50 or whatever can swim a lot faster than that but as like a normal
131:54 yeah normal joe you smack into the wall i i
131:58 found it quite challenging to keep up with the water
132:02 treadmill at 1.5 meters per second and it looked
132:06 scary like watching the water moving that fast
132:10 because it's not long they also have scuba
132:14 equipment there what okay that's weird so you can go in the pool well one of their new watches
132:18 is like very scuba oriented okay
132:22 and that's not a fitness thing though no but like anyone to scuba for fitness
132:26 no yeah but i mean it's their validation
132:30 lab for their wearables so yeah so they built a feature
132:34 for it that um uses like high frequency chirps
132:38 to communicate under the water okay cool with other
132:42 wearers of the same watch so you don't all have to have the same watch it'd be super annoying for the fish
132:46 but yeah inconvenient but um what else did they have they had a
132:50 200 meter track that way scuba for fitness i think you're doing it wrong
132:54 yeah that's not that's not for fitness
133:00 any who sorry yeah they have a 200 meter track that goes
133:04 outside the building and then back in that's cool i like that so for running and cycling so
133:08 they have like cycling machines but also actual this is wild
133:12 they have a european style village
133:16 it's actually about 10 minutes away from the validation place but they use it for validation as well because
133:20 some of their tracking features require actual like gps
133:24 like physical movement so you can't just be in the building
133:28 so we have this amazing footage
133:32 they just they were building an office and they're Huawei so because we
133:36 f**king can they themed it after like a european style
133:40 village so it's all like stone and is like
133:44 walking into uncanny like europe town well they have that like
133:48 they have like france in china or whatever yeah i think that's the one
133:52 eiffel tower and stuff oh no not that one okay yeah anyway it's it's trippy
133:56 so we have footage of them on like a basically
134:00 like glorified golf cart that has like 12 or 14 seats on it or something
134:04 like that and our camera operator sitting in the back and me ripping around on a
134:08 road bike in europe in china
134:12 anywho yeah what else do they have
134:16 they have a bunch of stuff like shooting archery
134:20 i didn't actually get to do those ones but i did do a lot of stuff one of the new watches
134:24 has fall detection so they have this wrestling dummy that they
134:28 can use to like drop off the climbing pole
134:32 so they let us drop the dummy we did
134:36 i don't know man we just they were they were super chill
134:40 about letting us basically do whatever we wanted in there so it's going to be
134:44 a pretty cool video i was like can i get a ladder sorry what
134:48 can i get a ladder they're like okay what do you want
134:52 to do with it i'm like i want to dunk so we have
134:56 so we have a shot of me like dunking and then it like pulls out
135:00 and you see that i'm just like standing on that's pretty good
135:04 should be good there was one where i dunked
135:08 and then dropped down and then the ball hit me in the head but bjorn
135:12 missed it so we don't yeah we don't have that one that's okay
135:16 which is a bummer anywho
135:20 i don't know why i was talking about that but i am back
135:24 and you can look forward to all those videos it was it was pretty fun i
135:28 haven't gotten to write that much in a while so i had adam there for
135:32 the kyoksia one and so he helped with some of the writing for that but i also
135:36 did a lot of it and then for the other three it was all all me
135:40 all the time and it was it was fun is the kyoksia one going to have to go
135:44 through like a bunch of brand review you better believe it i mean all
135:48 except the mall were sponsored so like it's not
135:52 i just i just am excited do this kind of thing without more dollars
135:56 attached to it oh no i more i more mean like anytime
136:00 we have a factory tour there's so much it's not the sponsorship dollars that i'm wondering about
136:04 it's the like there's so much like oh hey actually
136:08 this corner of this thing can't be shown so it needs to be
136:12 blah blah blah blah minor changes minor changes minor changes
136:16 minor changes delays for months buddy however bad you think this trip was
136:20 you are not even close in that
136:24 sense yeah and i don't and i don't even i'm not trying to
136:28 be mean to anyone i understand the challenges
136:32 on the side of the brand but it was
136:36 very very very very challenging
136:40 and it's always like that you know when you're looking at stuff that no one's
136:44 ever seen before like the number of times at
136:48 pretty much every stop that someone's like well we can't show that we've never shown that before
136:52 and i'm like brother why am i here then
136:56 i am here to show things that you've never shown before yeah that's
137:00 literally why you invited me that'll happen every time it is always happens
137:04 it is what it is always happens already says we're good to go now
137:08 do you want to fire up the safe they've been good to go my dude
137:12 some of our most iconic t-shirts
137:16 are back from the dead we're calling it the greatest hits
137:20 collection five of our best-selling t-shirts from the past few years have been reimagined
137:24 in both new and classic colors so if you missed out
137:28 on the privateer t-shirt i think we got the name
137:32 did we call it adblock t-shirt i can't remember i think it was called privateer
137:36 before but it says adblock on it no it doesn't
137:40 it says ab
137:43 the lock yeah exactly
137:47 it says a pirate ship lock i would never say adblock
137:51 i would say privateering yeah
137:55 what else we got ah yes the northern lights t-shirt is back
137:59 northern lights v2 i was gonna say it's slightly different right
138:03 no i think one of them is the original and then the other one is like a reimagined
138:07 red color way exactly how it was in the original i don't think so no because
138:11 it was on a green blank but yes the graph is in a circle too
138:15 so this is northern lights v2 if i recall correctly yeah yeah okay
138:19 um we also have
138:23 the classic GPU t-shirt again in a couple of
138:27 different color ways and in regular and tall i notice the
138:31 tall on i think all of these which is you better believe it we've got
138:35 tall blanks now we also have our CPU t-shirt
138:39 available in both shadow and black
138:43 wow because shadows aren't black i guess
138:47 wow and finally the do not drop t-shirt also
138:51 available in shadow i think this is what i'm most excited about i really like bat graphics
138:55 and this one has a cool bat graphics sure does super cool bat
138:59 graphic you can find all of these t-shirts at LMG.gg
139:03 slash greatest hits
139:07 nice nice nice nice
139:11 all right we've got a couple more topics this is just
139:15 a conversation okay i want to talk
139:19 about this the trend towards login screens
139:23 having the username on one page and the password on another is it a trend
139:27 towards that it's it's a trend that is are you just using apple stuff more often
139:31 taking place over a very long period of time and is now deeply entrenched in many of the
139:35 services that i use i genuinely would like someone to explain
139:39 to me why this is a better experience than having both
139:43 on the same page i don't think anyone has done it for it to be a better experience
139:47 that's my take because like ages
139:51 ago google did it like man i'm trying to like how many over five years
139:55 ago at least and it's just like
139:59 you know that everyone wants to use password managers right
140:03 so we're just adding way more
140:07 interactions because now i go to the username page
140:11 and i have to interact with my password manager to auto fill that
140:15 then it goes to the password page or most infuriating
140:19 it expands a little bit and adds the password field
140:23 and then i have to interact with it again then i have to click
140:27 login then i have to go and open some kind
140:31 of two factor whether it's a passkey or whether it's
140:35 like you know a google authenticator code or whatever else or
140:39 email you might suck at using text message we'll have to explore that
140:43 um yeah whatever the point is i have to do something else yeah and then
140:47 i either have to revalidate my stupid thumb print
140:51 first when i first pick up my phone well not a thumb print i'm using an iphone right now
140:55 but you know i have to face stuff yeah on Android i have to
140:59 pick up my phone i have to biometrically authenticate then i have to tell it yes
141:03 this passkey yes that's me and then i have to biometrically authenticate again it's like bloody hell
141:07 i just unlocked my phone i don't want biometrically authenticate again i just did it
141:13 anyway then i often have to go back to the
141:17 page or have to wait around for the server to go oh yeah yeah yeah that he totally did
141:21 that and now i'm finally logged in why nice what if
141:25 what if both of the fields are just on the page and we could have slightly
141:29 fewer slightly fewer interactions in order to log into
141:33 a sacrifice yeah i mean i don't i don't have a
141:37 great answer for you i know some of it has to do with like
141:41 data security stuff i know someone has to do with maybe it's harder to brute
141:45 force things yeah spam login attempts was one thing that i could
141:49 think of stuff like that is the the only real reasons i've heard
141:53 in the past yeah slow down bots do it basically
141:57 just to mess with people that are not
142:01 playing correctly you know okay
142:05 um interrupt nefarious deeds
142:09 yeah i mean that's basically what jordan and the new type of writer
142:13 kind of said a bunch of people in chat are talking about sso stuff so determining if it's a corporate
142:17 account or a regular account determining the the type of account that it
142:21 is so then i mean okay this is something that drives me there's a better way to do that
142:25 crazy because yeah there's services that i use that
142:31 like teams for the longest time is a great example of this where you'd have
142:35 a completely separate app also called teams
142:41 right i just and uh and another another
142:45 really good one was actually i think i think keeper had this where you had to you had to
142:49 select a drop down whether it was like a corporate account or a personal account
142:53 was it keeper might have been something else uh that rings a bell but i
142:57 feel like i haven't seen that a long time but i'm sitting there going like okay
143:01 can't you just tell when i enter my email which one it is
143:05 and can't you just do that for me on the back back end
143:11 why do i have to tell you what kind of account it is well i think there's different like security
143:15 layers and stuff for fine you do it like why am i doing
143:19 it why do i have to tell you this you know it's a corporate account the second i put in a corporate
143:23 email and yeah they could probably have like
143:27 if you open teams it gives you a login box and you log
143:31 into that thing and then it authenticates you into
143:35 and loads whatever app you need i could see that happening sure i just
143:39 mean why make it the user's problem doing all of that work to solve
143:43 a problem for a relatively small amount of people
143:47 uh sydney brokett says they are doing it they need to hit a different flow a lot of the time
143:51 good do it on your side like i
143:55 i can understand why they don't
143:59 sure tell me then it's probably heavy it's probably expensive
144:03 might be annoying to dev developing things in companies like that takes
144:07 a very long time there's a lot of hoops and it might just never be approved
144:13 users most users don't care that much you are a bit
144:17 particularly horrific when it comes to security things i
144:21 log into a lot of stuff so anything around and on a lot of different devices
144:25 in a lot of different locations
144:29 countries vpn levels yeah
144:33 i log in i feel like i spend a significant
144:37 not double digits but a significant amount of work time fighting
144:41 with various logins i get prompted
144:45 so bloody much but then you want to be the admin to everything at the same time
144:49 what do i want to be the admin to you have specifically
144:53 gotten very frustrated many times over the history of this company
144:57 that you are not the admin of literally anything at any given time
145:01 you can't make that argument the only reason that i complain is when
145:05 i'm trying to do something and i don't have the access that i need
145:09 that's the same thing that's even worse that's still just a login problem
145:15 that's what i'm telling you what do you mean that's just a login problem
145:19 not having the login is an even worse login problem than it being inconvenient to login
145:27 but it's inconvenient to login in a lot of cases because you want admin level to everything
145:31 yeah but if i don't have it then i don't have the login but you could just have
145:35 like two accounts basically for everything you could have an admin level account
145:39 that's obfuscated and under a different keeper that is more annoying
145:43 but he won't do that that's because
145:49 we will run into a situation where it's like a weekend or something
145:53 and randomly i need access to something and i won't have it
145:57 and you could log into that account you could log into that other keeper
146:01 see he's not gonna do it but then this means that you need to have admin level securities
146:05 and that's gonna be super annoying it is super annoying
146:09 it blows something has to break the chain
146:13 he was so mad before the show because
146:17 in fairness to me you tried the flow and it didn't work
146:21 yeah and then knew immediately how to fix it because i've used a browser before
146:25 well no it's not okay hold on a second
146:29 i know but it's not that i don't know how to reinstall a browser extension
146:33 the issue is that these kinds of things come up for me all the f***ing time yeah that makes
146:37 it's constant every time i go to sign into something it's just a pain
146:41 yes and yes a lot of the time is self inflicted last night when i was trying to get
146:45 access to the WAN document i had just switched over to my iphone
146:49 and so i didn't have my pixel which has my stupid microsoft
146:53 passkey on it and so yeah i didn't migrate
146:57 i didn't migrate one of the f***ing two dozen bloody stupid
147:01 things that i rely on my phone for and so i wasn't able
147:05 to log into it at all because i didn't have it on me anymore
147:09 and because when i originally set up my microsoft account
147:13 the way the flow like dark patterned me into using the microsoft authenticator
147:17 yeah that's super annoying instead of my standard one that i normally use
147:21 so my pixel has also the one instance of the stupid microsoft authenticator on it
147:25 and so i just i couldn't get into an account and it was just really
147:29 frustrating because i switched devices a lot
147:33 i switched locations a lot and i switched which services i need
147:37 to a lot so it just i spent so much of my
147:41 life i feel like the biggest problem is the devices a lot thing which is
147:45 courier jobs well yeah you can really do about that but that's the the locations
147:49 a lot thing should be annoying once per location if everything
147:53 is operating properly which i understand is not quite the case
147:57 no because there's more than one location for every location because when i
148:01 go somewhere i'm going to be using it at the airport new location i'm
148:05 going to be using on the plane guess what new location i'm going to land
148:09 oh look a new location i'm going to go to the hotel oh now okay
148:13 i'm in china i'm using a vpn new fucking location
148:17 it's constant also you like teleported because of the vpn
148:21 probably probably so it's like that's sketchy he moved
148:25 really fast what's going on there drives me absolutely
148:29 he's not solved some of these issues yeah not really one of the biggest problems with hardware keys
148:33 is there's so many things that won't work with it yeah
148:37 like it's not a one stop solution and as soon as you have to
148:41 have sms as a as a two factor for something then that's
148:45 that's it's an attack vector you know and as soon as you have
148:49 to have this you know this other app it's an attack vector and so at a
148:53 certain point having the hardware key is just another potential
148:57 vector we often hear from
149:01 you know people that will say like oh why aren't like all your
149:05 services just sso based one a lot of
149:09 solutions will charge a wild increase in
149:13 in monthly cost per user to allow sso
149:17 because they know a lot of enterprises are just like no we are only going
149:21 to use sso for everything the other thing is that we use a ton
149:25 of things being a place that reviews consumer products we use
149:29 a ton of different logins which don't have it as an option and probably
149:33 never ever will so it's it's you you can't
149:37 just blanket everything has to be sso login either that doesn't work for
149:41 us at all yeah it's
149:45 it's it's frustrating
149:49 but and like okay even a hardware key that's that's an example of how
149:53 just with my job and all the various
149:57 options that I get pulled in even that the reason I stopped using
150:01 my ubi key was not because I like didn't like it or I thought it was you know bad
150:05 or whatever the reason I stopped using it was that often people need to borrow my keys
150:09 for some reason or another yeah we were just to be clear we were relatively
150:13 early adopters of ubi key yeah yeah way back
150:17 yeah super early like before 2014 or something way before they had like a type c
150:21 one you know yeah yeah and so like I will often
150:25 give bands my keys to they need to do
150:29 they need to do a shot now you can't log into things uses my yeah
150:33 yeah so what now yeah now I can't log in not convenient or you have to allow a bypass anyways
150:37 and then and then what's the point of even having the hardware key
150:41 this was this was a fun one is when we first adopted ubi key yeah it wasn't
150:45 supported by iPhone oh yeah so then we had to
150:49 build in workarounds for like everybody that had an iPhone and then it was just
150:53 like well why did we even bother to have the ubi key at all what are we doing yep
150:57 yep 100% because Apple still didn't allow third parties to access
151:01 their NFC chip and then they used lightning
151:05 instead of USB a which was
151:09 what the ubi keys had on them so there was no way to interface with an iPhone
151:15 anyway I seriously reconsider
151:19 SSO SSO is not an option
151:23 not for everything yeah we have it enabled for some stuff
151:27 and in some situations it annoys him as well just to be
151:31 clear he preferred the non SSO options which is
151:35 not I can't even single him out here that is true for other people at the office
151:39 as well SSO is not really
151:43 just automatic win yeah I end up in a really silly loop sometimes
151:47 because I and SSO is on me at least partially because I need to
151:51 go and fix this but I'll go to sign into
151:55 I'll go to sign into my Microsoft Teams account because I'll be logged in
151:59 AGAIN or logged out again rather the point so I go to sign into it
152:03 don't forget to check the box it doesn't work thank you to stay signed in one
152:07 so I'll go to sign into Teams and I won't know my Teams password because
152:11 I keep it in my Keeper I will go to sign into Keeper
152:15 and it will prompt me to enter a single sign on
152:19 so I will pull my phone out of my pocket log into my Keeper on my
152:23 phone which often I will need to use my two factor authentication
152:27 in order to do I am now four bloody steps into this
152:31 I will log into my Keeper I will get my Microsoft password
152:35 it is on a separate device so I will have to type it
152:39 onto my computer I will log into my Microsoft
152:43 to log into my Keeper to get the Microsoft password to be it into my Teams
152:47 and the only reason I would do that rather than just look up the Teams password
152:51 on my phone is because then I am logged in to Keeper
152:55 on my browser anyway so I can use it for other stuff because otherwise yes I could just pull my phone out
152:59 of my pocket check the password and log in there but no your first flow is the like correct one
153:03 because yeah you are going to have to use it again anyways like you said and then the hilarious one
153:07 is that I have my pass key for
153:11 my Microsoft account on my phone anyway so if I have to use
153:15 my pass key then I have to biometrically authenticate my phone click a thing
153:19 biometrically authenticate again click another thing yes it's me
153:23 I have to give them credit Google's login is fantastic
153:27 it's pretty okay oh is it you do you have your phone click yes
153:31 alright yeah yep
153:35 like oh hey it's pretty okay it's pretty okay compared to like basically everything out there
153:39 right now it's pretty good it often doesn't give me that option because it gets confused by all my devices and locations
153:43 and it's contextual it gives you that option
153:47 when it is like pretty sure yep
153:51 I do think that's cool though also belltrick says these are some first world problems
153:55 I mean what they are is their work frustrations and I think that's
153:59 something that we can probably all relate to anyone yeah like if there's anything
154:03 that you have to do at work that is completely unnecessary
154:07 in terms of like productivity it doesn't create
154:11 absolutely necessary mister I have to have admin to everything in terms of productivity
154:15 it generates nothing but it is necessary for security
154:19 I know but it's not productive though that's all I'm saying it doesn't get any work done
154:23 yeah yeah it gets zero anything
154:27 accomplished so yeah it's it's frustrating and it just it takes
154:31 it's a it's a time sap it's not it doesn't
154:35 make me more efficient it doesn't make me happier it doesn't make me more productive
154:39 it just is annoying
154:47 oh my god just easy you became putting a wall I'm going crazy that I can't
154:51 explain more that that just will not solve the problem
154:55 the the on my keys thing was like one version
154:59 of why it won't work and also all the services that it doesn't
155:03 work for and also just all the
155:07 times that it's not convenient like some help in some ways sometimes I'll be using
155:11 a device like this this happened a lot back when I was trying to use my
155:15 UB key is I would be using a device that doesn't have a type A port
155:19 it doesn't happen as often anymore but sometimes well it's going to start happening more and more
155:23 sometimes these things happen it's it's laptops are going all type C which there are
155:27 type C ones when there might be double ended ones Monty Hawk says dude you're an edge case
155:31 yes that's the whole point of the conversation
155:35 obviously obviously yes
155:41 come on however
155:45 however the fact that this happens
155:49 so much that it is very frustrating for me
155:53 is not does not mean that
155:57 for someone else for whom it is not that frustrating and doesn't happen that often
156:01 doesn't mean that it couldn't be better for them too it doesn't mean that my edge case
156:05 has no possible learning outcomes that could be applied
156:09 to other things could log in be better could security
156:13 be better and smoother for the user I yeah I think we can probably
156:17 all agree that it could be better does everyone have the same level of frustration
156:21 with that I do absolutely not but it could absolutely
156:25 also be better all right
156:29 I don't think there's a unless I'm looking at this picture wrong
156:33 I don't think there's a UB key that is A and
156:37 C there's A and sorry there's C in lightning
156:41 there's just A and there's just C
156:45 I don't think there's A and C
156:49 meaning that you're always going to have at least some amount of problem
156:53 neat
156:57 well I will continue to be frustrated about it and it'll be great
157:01 oh this is nice Google has shut down nest gen 2's
157:05 and this is the best part
157:09 they simply refuse to allow it to be controlled locally
157:13 it is now e-waste nice
157:17 terrific and I was talking about some smart home stuff recently and I said
157:21 sure I will finally give up but if I do
157:25 I have to ask to support Home Assistant
157:29 I'm not getting anything that is not able to be locally controlled
157:33 you shouldn't have to even through
157:37 like third party integrations I didn't find any category of device
157:41 that there wasn't an option for I meant individual products
157:45 yeah yeah so the discussion
157:49 over in r slash Home Assistant does it still work in Home Assistant
157:53 there's a bounty out there for it if it does and okhawk says the device uses
157:57 signed firmware there's literally a key that Google has in their
158:01 possession that would unlock the capabilities of the device but Google is
158:05 keeping it from device owners while simultaneously killing the devices that's what makes
158:09 this whole scenario so absurd we really
158:13 do need to legislate that people own the stuff
158:17 they buy and they don't it doesn't have to be
158:21 maintained anymore by the device manufacturer
158:25 I think that there's got to be some kind of limit
158:29 for how long you have to support a game or a service or a product
158:33 like in 100 years I wouldn't expect Google's cloud servers
158:37 to necessarily still talk to a nest too alright
158:41 in 200 years like wherever there's got to be somewhere you've got to draw a line
158:45 but when they EOL it they've got to
158:49 allow local interaction with it they've got to open source it
158:53 they've got to do something yeah and pk7 said it
158:57 somewhere I'm pretty sure but I can't find it in chat now
159:01 so I think it was pk7 of someone else no it was
159:05 this is from the same company that actually thought to convert Stadia controllers to bluetooth
159:09 it is interesting just different teams massive massive orgs
159:13 and different teams just acting differently so pretty frustrating just wanted to shine a light
159:17 and say hey that's pretty uncool Google
159:21 very uncool apparently there's
159:25 nooky just posted a reddit thread that apparently there's a team of people working to
159:29 crack them open that's obviously not a good thing
159:33 this isn't like hurray Google did a good thing but
159:37 looks like the community might be trying to react to it which is cool
159:41 cool shout out C C K O Simba
159:45 yeah yeah there's nothing really to look at now
159:49 they're saying that they should have it up on github by Monday the latest that's really exciting
159:53 very cool let's go
159:57 neat all right what else we got
160:03 LTT Labs articles yeah speaking of cool and neat I guess
160:07 we've got the two Labs articles we've got the Apple 40 watt
160:11 dynamic power adapter thing
160:15 which I thought was kind of interesting because it came by default in the
160:19 Apple vision pro box
160:23 so as I was like unboxing that I got all excited about the power adapter because I was like
160:27 we have an article on this which might be the lamest
160:31 thing I've done in a while but yeah we've got that article because Lucas was
160:35 basically like all right how does that work
160:39 yeah because it was dynamic charging the only power adapter
160:43 that can achieve the claimed 50% battery in 20 minutes of the iPhone
160:47 1717 pro and 17 pro max
160:51 so can it what does it mean etc if you scroll down to the bottom
160:55 dynamic of course we had to
160:59 check it out on the x-ray
161:03 this is so cool shout out Luma field for making it
161:07 so easy for us to see the inside so happy they've let us hold on to that
161:11 dude it's so cool absolute bros but yeah to just
161:15 keep going with Lucas's notes here Labs investigated whether logi bolt is really
161:19 bluetooth bl le we're not going to talk anymore about what I'm coming back to it or
161:23 not and Apple's new 40 watt dynamic power adapter for the 40 watt
161:27 dynamic power adapter the new USB-C power adapter from Apple which guarantees
161:31 40 watt output but will boost to 60 watts we tested
161:35 how this will actually interact while your phone is charging iphone's
161:39 charge below 40 watts anyways and some longer term test
161:43 to determine when it drops to 40 watts and we're potentially going to test some stuff
161:47 with it later on as well but if you go down even further
161:53 keep going this graph is quite interesting
161:57 so it's a little bit hard for me to read it from there maybe I should just bring it up myself
162:01 but you've got the output power and the input power of the actual
162:05 unit the charger and then we're thinking that
162:09 so time is your your x and wattage is your y
162:13 so we're thinking that it because it stays at 60 for quite a while at the beginning
162:17 and we think it's thermal so it's getting too hot
162:21 going down to 40 cooling enough going back up
162:25 to 60 and coming back down we think that's what's going on
162:29 interesting but don't know duty cycle of
162:33 roughly 66% after the initial warming up
162:39 huh so on average about 50.33 watts
162:45 this goes slightly against my theory of apple building a 60 watt charger
162:49 that couldn't achieve their temperature limits 51 watts is quite far off of
162:53 60 watts if this is interesting to you I suggest you
162:57 check out all things one place who conducts power adapter testing regularly
163:01 and made a video about the 40 watt dynamic charger very cool great article
163:05 I also read the the bolt um
163:09 logi bolt article it was awesome yeah basically
163:13 that was uh like you know in a in a in a ShortCircuit
163:17 video we said it was just a bluetooth dongle which is a downer
163:21 people got mad so we were like all right well let's uh let's dive into
163:25 this let's reach out to logitech let's get information from them let's
163:29 uh kind of pull some of our testing together and look into what this thing is
163:33 and as it turns out from a performance standpoint it's just bluetooth
163:37 from a performance standpoint yeah which is a little bit more to it exactly
163:41 why it was a bit of a downer but also there is more to it
163:45 and the community was right yes that um it does have
163:49 advantages over just just bluetooth but yeah check out the
163:53 lab site we've we've been pushing a lot of articles lately
163:57 and we want to keep doing this I think Lucas has been
164:01 um taking the charge on a lot of these of like
164:05 having a question of like what is this thing
164:09 how does it work and then just deciding that you know what if we had
164:13 that question probably someone else did too let's let's follow it up
164:17 let's try to figure it out um also clearly like with the the
164:21 logi bolt one um if if we get
164:25 called out on something which might be fair like it was here we're going to try to dive
164:29 into that and learn more as well this is a knowledge base expansion for for us for
164:33 our companies and hopefully for you guys as well so um
164:37 this one's really good too I've read this one why the AirPods Pro 3
164:41 are a nightmare to test uh very interesting
164:45 very different frequency response
164:49 uh at different volume levels I had some people
164:53 really mad about us saying that in the ShortCircuit they were like no
164:57 that's not how it works but it does
165:01 if the manufacturer tunes it to do that which is
165:05 exactly why we were saying yeah it's kind of weird um we worked with
165:09 Griffin from the headphone show on that one um pretty cool yeah we're also
165:13 trying to use this as like somewhat of a collaboration thing so we can like work with
165:17 certain external experts and stuff do you see our Buffalo makes a really good
165:21 point TechLink should be promoting new Labs articles
165:27 like primary source articles from the Labs like why not
165:31 it's news duh
165:35 seems kind of obvious to me definitely thought about that
165:39 yeah I never thought of it either that's cool like we have a new show
165:43 okay cool good chat neat I want to talk about
165:47 oh hold on let's do this really quick YouTuber CyperCPU
165:51 has accused Microsoft of orchestrating YouTube's removal of some of his
165:55 Windows 11 tutorials that enable users to install the OS on non-supported hardware
165:59 and without an online connection for violating the
166:03 platform's community guidelines after appealing the takedowns
166:07 he received a vague answer as to why the videos had been removed from YouTube that said
166:11 the warning strike you received was issued based on a violation of
166:15 harmful or dangerous content which prohibits content that encourages or promotes
166:19 behavior that encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk
166:23 serious physical harm or death does bypassing TPM
166:27 2.0 really pose a serious risk of physical harm or death?
166:31 no if Microsoft is threatening
166:35 to kill or harm you if you don't take them down
166:39 very good very good our discussion question
166:43 here is why does Microsoft want to prevent people from using older computers with Windows 11?
166:47 why do they care? I don't know
166:51 it's been a little strange to me too especially because it's like
166:55 not that hard to bypass yeah so like
166:59 yeah why specifically are YouTube videos getting taken down
167:03 like it's not like you can't find these resources so can we just very easily
167:07 can we just not? that'd be cool
167:11 good chat I want to talk about how
167:15 I want to point out one thing really quick I just I don't know I showed it out
167:19 Lucas for coming up with cool articles and pursuing them and writing them and stuff
167:23 and that has been great thank you Lucas I also want to say that this has been like
167:27 a team effort from the lab so
167:31 I didn't want to just single out only only Lucas it's been it's been cool
167:35 I've been really enjoying that and one of our like
167:39 working order things for a bit now and continuing forward has just been
167:43 yeah if there's an interesting question follow it up so it's been I've appreciated
167:47 that the whole team has embraced that professionally curious is exactly
167:51 what we want in a department like that okay I got one more quick one here
167:55 AMD releases new Zen 2
167:59 and Zen 3 plus CPUs as Ryzen 10
168:03 and Ryzen 100 these new
168:07 CPUs based on Zen 2 include the Athlon Silver 10
168:11 which is a dual core the Athlon Gold 20
168:15 which is also a dual core although at least it has SMT
168:19 the Ryzen 330 a quad core and the Ryzen 5
168:23 40 also a quad core
168:27 the new Rembrandt CPUs based on Zen 3 plus are the Ryzen 3
168:31 110 the Ryzen 5 130 the Ryzen 5 150 Ryzen 7
168:35 Ryzen 7 based on Zen 3 plus now
168:39 come on man Ryzen 7
168:43 170 8 cores up to 4.57 gigahertz what are they doing
168:47 why do they need to do this can they just have the old can people can we just know it's an old
168:51 CPU and then just buy an old CPU
168:57 exhausting I'm
169:01 tired of it what we have is
169:05 driving Chinese EVs I don't know if you saw this
169:09 Prime Minister Mark Carney Canada's relationship with China is at a
169:13 turning point control F hold on oh no
169:17 I
169:21 hold on hold on hold on
169:27 hold on where is it here we go
169:31 here we go hold on this is not
169:35 oh yeah okay they discussed
169:39 solutions to respective sensitivities regarding issues including agriculture
169:43 and agri-food products such as canola as well as seafood and
169:47 electric vehicles according to the readout
169:51 so I don't know if folks know this but in lockstep with the US
169:55 Canada introduced 100% tariffs on
169:59 Chinese EVs a number of years ago which has made it basically
170:03 impossible for Chinese EV makers to import their vehicles
170:07 into Canada there's been a couple of exceptions vinfast tried
170:11 to kind of launch here and I think I've seen like two on the road but
170:15 I've not had a ton of success because with a 100%
170:19 tariff it's pretty hard to ship over here and
170:23 I don't think vinfast set up manufacturing here in any capacity
170:27 vinfast manufacturing in Canada
170:31 I don't think they did so they do not have
170:35 a very yeah no they have no manufacturing
170:39 in Canada oh are they Vietnamese?
170:43 oh they are there you go sorry vinfast you guys
170:47 are a very relevant brand and I cared a lot about where
170:51 you were from I'm sorry
170:55 anyway what I really want to talk about today
170:59 is oh shoot do I have
171:05 I was over in China recently and I did get a couple of
171:09 opportunities to chill in a Chinese EV
171:13 and you know how Ford CEO has gone
171:17 on the record a number of times at this point basically saying hey
171:21 if the North American auto industry doesn't get its act together
171:25 like we're cooked boys yeah
171:29 I don't know if there's going to be
171:33 an opportunity to get their act together
171:37 it's just holding them out with tariffs that's effectively all it is now
171:41 I think the cookage is
171:45 basically a foregone conclusion at this point man
171:49 in the car while I was over there that is going to
171:53 absolutely blow your mind when I finally find the bloody picture of it
171:57 and we get it up on screen here sorry
172:01 my sincere apologies I don't know what is going on did I take it on the iPhone
172:05 I don't think I did I
172:09 quick stall for time do a merge message or something I'm sorry
172:13 sure everything thank you
172:17 let's see what I can find here look this might be useful for you
172:21 hi DLL what's the worst case of we don't need a pro you've seen
172:25 I was helping run Wi-Fi for a festival 35,000 attendees with
172:29 80 unify ap's a marketing guy suggested replacing the system
172:33 with starlings what
172:37 nice worst case
172:41 of we don't need a pro I'm afraid you've seen some here
172:45 our entire company we can do that
172:49 we reinvent a lot of wheels let's just hire a recent graduate
172:53 should be fine figure it out
172:57 and it's way better for the content to figure it out as we go
173:01 yeah no I'm not a
173:05 convenient store robber I'm Duke from the season before
173:09 the last season of skype redwood that's pretty good too though
173:13 I don't know there's a ton of examples of that
173:17 it like here I mean we
173:21 we don't need a pro this is I'm slightly copping out
173:25 by saying we can just do this ourselves instead of use an external service
173:29 so series of professionals maybe I was going to say full play
173:33 nice like oh you can do that that was crazy that was stupid
173:37 that was probably one of the most brutal ones we've ever done yeah
173:41 it's working but like like my goodness
173:45 it literally is like a multi-million dollar a year
173:49 success multi-platform at this point
173:53 it's working it's just it powers us, sauce plus
173:57 a lot of other creators on Floatplane like I don't know man
174:01 we kind of you know yeah you kind of did it
174:05 it has cool future plans the team's kind of amazing
174:09 we finally have a dev team yeah which is cool
174:13 who has done all kinds of other cool stuff like I don't know
174:17 I really like working on Floatplane stuff our whole like
174:21 I just do, feels like home I feel like we kind of fail upward a lot
174:25 you know you know what I mean right
174:29 not in the way that that normally is meant right like failing upwards is when you're like incompetent
174:33 and you get kind of pushed out but into like a higher position
174:37 kind of like a nepotism sort of connotation like we but we've just managed to
174:41 screw up our way to the top but like
174:45 like it actually worked like it didn't fail yeah but it should have
174:49 yeah it was just way harder than it needed to be
174:53 that was most of it decision-making failure
174:57 I had a lot of conversations with people where it would start as like
175:01 you shouldn't do this because you can't and then it would end up being like
175:05 okay fine
175:09 you can but like why I didn't listen to that part
175:13 I just listened to that you can't like no we can
175:23 yeah did you figure your thing out yeah yeah
175:29 I rode okay don't wait not yet
175:33 so I rode in a couple of cars so one of them was part of the Huawei demo at their
175:37 flagship store which includes everything if I was asked to
175:41 design a store to showcase everything from like wearables to TVs
175:45 to automobiles I wouldn't even know where to start but honestly they kind of nailed it
175:49 so they had some cars that had like partner technologies in their
175:53 showroom so we went a test drive and one and it's got
175:57 voice activation this and assisted driving whatever
176:01 that and like you know it's kind of cool
176:05 but this one the one that they used
176:09 to drive us between the locations where they were just like showing off Huawei technology
176:13 integrations and vehicles absolutely blew my mind
176:17 and I agree with Ford CEO
176:21 we're cooked over here we're cooked check this out
176:25 first one yeah so this is me and Sharad
176:29 in the back of a whatever this is I actually can't remember what the model name is
176:33 so that's embarrassing we have a starry night sky
176:37 thing above us sure in the
176:41 next to by Sharad's
176:45 elbow okay so you can see all the seat adjustments in there and then right next to
176:49 that each seat has a little like pop out
176:53 phone like device that you can use to control the
176:57 various functions in the car including the heating
177:01 cooling of your seat the temperature
177:05 of the fridge that's between us so there's a little like
177:09 fridge that could hold maybe like a wine bottle or a couple of other drinks
177:13 in between us where that like Kleenex thing is
177:17 okay now
177:21 are you a little impressed yeah but it just looks like
177:25 an expensive back of a car all right hit them with the next one
177:29 wow so
177:33 you could mod that in but it's a
177:37 it's very pit my ride so in between our heads
177:41 is a projector and you press a button
177:45 that lowers a projector screen
177:49 the Windows what's it called
177:53 electro-chromatic leg room is this a really long car
177:57 it's meant to be it's the kind of car you're meant to be
178:01 a passenger vehicle or whatever it's called yeah so it's kind of competing with
178:05 like you know the roles the Maybach
178:09 exactly and okay sorry what was I saying
178:13 so the projector screen comes down
178:17 there is a camera you can see there's a webcam up at the top of the
178:21 so you can like take a conference call it's good
178:25 sure but also so you can take a conference call
178:29 you know and have all the other meeting
178:33 attendees on the projector screen the Windows are
178:37 I believe they are what's it called
178:41 electro-chromic and they have like a filter
178:45 that comes up so they have like a sunshade that comes up to make it actually quite dark
178:49 in the back there's wireless charging
178:53 in the armrest there's two little slips where you can
178:57 slip your phone into right by that piece of paper nice I see that
179:01 Sherrod was joking really all these features and no cupholder
179:05 retractable cupholder that's under where the charging is
179:09 so you kind of hit a button and then it pops out in between us
179:13 the seats fully recline and adjust oh they have massage
179:17 and cooling and one of the really wild features
179:21 you can go back to us is it includes a privacy mode
179:25 so that the passengers in the front can't hear you
179:29 or the front passenger and the driver can't hear you
179:33 and we were like okay well that's stupid there's no way that works
179:37 and then Sherrod pressed it and it turns out that it doesn't just try to like
179:41 ANC what you're saying because that would be we don't have that technology
179:45 but what it does is it adds it like an echo loop
179:49 and a bunch of sort of noise
179:53 it sort of salts the data so to speak
179:57 while probably also doing the ANC stuff yeah
180:01 I didn't actually try sitting in the front unfortunately
180:05 I didn't really get a chance but pretty wild
180:09 now was it this thing oh yeah that's it
180:13 yeah so no key found it of course hold on hold on don't look too closely yet
180:17 I want you to I want you to guess
180:21 what it costs I stopped it from being there but it's still on my screen
180:25 hold on hold on hold on okay first of all
180:29 so what does it look like
180:33 what's a ghost cost okay 400k is my guess
180:37 600k if you don't customize anything
180:41 the options blah blah which currency are we talking
180:45 commission you don't buy you don't buy a ghost you commission
180:49 a ghost so I actually don't remember how much they cost
180:53 oh yes do they even have a starting price
180:57 for crying out loud make an inquiry okay forget it the point
181:01 is probably about half a million dollars by the time you actually like
181:05 do anything is the ghost the expensive one I don't even think that's the top
181:09 of the line though that's like their that's like their kind of their workhorse
181:13 is my understanding I don't I don't know their lineup extremely well I've never
181:17 bought a rolls sorry uh
181:21 lowest possible is like 355
181:25 okay what I'm seeing it can go a lot higher is the phantom their
181:29 starter I actually can't remember the peasant spine
181:33 ghost yeah I'm actually not sure I think the cullinan is higher end that's the
181:37 suv right yeah uh
181:41 I don't know what the specter is yeah I can't remember
181:45 okay anyway anyway
181:49 how much do you think the mic stroll costs 80k
181:55 okay why would you why would you guess that
181:59 I don't know I didn't look it up I don't I'm assuming I'm
182:03 not correct no you're not right but yeah I'm just wondering why you would guess
182:07 $80,000 like what could what else could you buy for $80,000 it's it's like
182:11 cheaper than the high-end Teslas
182:15 but more expensive than like I don't know other stuff
182:19 starts at about 100k okay but we're still
182:23 it's an EV so it comes with like batteries
182:27 which are a cost that you know a gasoline competitor
182:31 doesn't have to deal with yeah um so you you never have to put
182:35 gas in it it is
182:39 like you're sitting on a couch basically in the back of it it's crazy
182:43 I did I think I told you when I was in China I got
182:47 chauffeured around one time in the back of a Maybach and I had
182:51 the same feeling I sat in that chair and was just like what the heck
182:55 it's weird it feels almost uncanny it's like
182:59 this isn't a car what am I in right now so the price
183:03 range is 100 to 140
183:07 for this and look I'll be honest with you guys
183:11 I've never even sat in a ghost I've never I've never sat in a Rolls-Royce
183:15 but to my ignorant you know
183:19 unrefined buttock
183:25 I'm looking at this I'm looking at this thing going
183:29 how is it realistically going to get way beyond
183:33 this thing this would be the pinnacle
183:37 of luxury to most people some of these pictures are nuts
183:41 yeah here let's see this is the
183:45 I can't make these bigger mic straw or whatever
183:49 I mean you can just zoom your browser just to give it the little two finger
183:53 you know what I'm saying oh yeah did I
183:57 oh yeah did I mention the starry sky in it has like different
184:01 modes it can twinkle it can do shooting stars
184:05 the starry sky feels like a rip a bit of a rip
184:09 huge huge screens
184:13 it's something that people do in Rolls-Royce though
184:17 that's what I'm saying I think it's a rip oh a rip off 100%
184:21 100% in the yeah those speakers in the chair
184:25 sure why not like it's it's loaded
184:29 for bear man wow
184:35 is this is this like the seat in front of them is gone
184:39 oh no it folds down yeah okay yeah that's wild
184:43 so you can get extremely comfy is this this is someone's
184:47 phone or is this the tablet thing you're talking that's the little tablet controller thing
184:51 so it's pretty wild dude
184:55 oh yeah it has the airplane table fold out thing I forgot about that
184:59 no no on the left yeah so you have a little table at both of the
185:03 back seats laptop or whatever yep or you can eat or you're
185:07 swishky trunk yep
185:11 trunk
185:15 what is this
185:18 I think they're trying to show matrix headlamps
185:23 no I don't think so
185:28 interesting
185:32 yeah
185:36 huh all right it's available in multiple options
185:39 okay yep all right anyway
185:43 very interesting it's uh
185:47 I had I I had been you know reading about
185:51 following from a distance so that are a cyber truck right
185:55 like seriously though yeah I
185:59 I don't think that would make an insane splash
186:03 I don't think that would make as insane of a splash in the North American market that people might
186:07 think they're gonna need a good truck
186:11 oh yeah apparently BYD's truck is like 35k or something like that
186:15 see like that might make a bigger splash because you've got to fight the f-150
186:19 there's no like there's no ignoring the f-150 and trying to enter
186:23 the North American market heck no so yeah
186:27 and that's still gonna be it's BYD so I'm assuming that's an electric truck still
186:31 I think it's a hybrid yeah it's it's no good 63
186:35 their Ford Ranger size pickup with a one cylinder
186:39 allows up to 500 miles of range and is 35,000 US dollars
186:43 yeah see that'll be that's a more interesting fight
186:47 in my opinion yeah opcode says how does it compare to your
186:51 Taycan in terms of quality it's a very different
186:55 car like it's not it's not intended to
186:59 compete with a Taycan it's a floating couch yeah
187:03 whisks you from location to location the Taycan is meant to be driven
187:07 whereas the Mike show is intended to be driven
187:11 around in right so it's totally different the Mike shows a
187:15 snuggie in the Taycans like a running shoe yeah
187:19 terrible analogies in terms of like like the fit and finish
187:23 of it though I'll be honest with you I didn't look that closely because I was too
187:27 busy being impressed by the sum of the parts rather than the
187:31 individual parts sure if we were doing like a full review or something like that
187:35 that would be a different story but nothing stood out to me as being junkie I can tell you
187:39 that much for sure oh shoot I have
187:43 to go pretty quick because I have to take my kids surprise you're still here
187:47 trick or treating no no I'm good we're done the topics we're done the topics
187:51 we haven't done F.P. announcement merch massages our most
187:55 successful Floatplane video ever was when LMG employees
187:59 shared their first memories of meeting me
188:03 oh wow yep that's a pretty strong
188:07 like dislike ratio um so we made a sequel
188:11 featuring Yvonne Colton and Plouf who owns a
188:15 display and more oh and yes there will be a video
188:19 of me reacting to the sequel in November oh good I haven't done that yet but apparently
188:23 we're going to be doing that so get some laughs and maybe a little bit of
188:27 secondhand embarrassment at LMG.GG slash Floatplane
188:31 excellent alright Dan should we do a couple merch messages?
188:35 sounds good to me hit me sure let's see why does it seem
188:39 like every tech tuber praises the 9070 9070
188:43 XT on camera and FSR4 yada yada but off camera
188:47 they're all running NVIDIA GPUs feels like a bit of do as I say not as I do
188:51 I I'm running a 7900
188:55 XTX let the record show so I don't know
188:59 in my opinion when praise is happening they're often probably talking about
189:03 price performance and then they can have whatever they want so they take the
189:07 performance and do not care about the price that's the answer
189:11 that's the real answer the only reason I'm running a 7900 XTX
189:15 is because I committed to skipping the 40 series
189:19 um and otherwise I would have just run
189:23 a 4090 greetings DLL
189:27 Linus with the Canadian post strike why does creator warehouse
189:31 still ship to PO boxes when the LTT Store site says to avoid them
189:35 I use my street address but the merch still comes Canada post
189:41 wow what a tremendous question for creator warehouse customer service
189:45 I think you should send them a message and maybe they
189:49 can explain that I have no idea I want to shout out
189:53 our amazing CW team Tony and Dave
189:57 and Adam and the rest of the customer care team and Taryn
190:01 and everyone who has worked really hard on you know resolving
190:05 the challenging logistics situation that has taken place
190:09 this year we've had to deal with tariffs from our southern neighbors we've had to deal with tariffs
190:13 from our manufacturing neighbors we've had to deal with flipping
190:17 the strike from Canada post we've had a lot of multiple times I think we've had a lot of
190:21 on our plate this year and our team has done an amazing job of figuring
190:25 out how to get your thing to you and shout out them and if you want the specifics
190:29 you'll have to ask them because they're the experts
190:33 what an answer good answer this guy's been doing this for a little bit professional
190:37 what a guy this one I wasn't too sure about maybe you could help me
190:41 parse it started an RE photo comp with a few family
190:45 members and have hit 30 in revenue and we
190:49 are trying to learn to scale fast and trying to figure out the best route
190:53 is pacing ourselves or just spamming the phone
190:57 thanks a photo comp
191:01 photo competition few family members RE
191:05 I'm not sure 30 in REV 30 K I'm assuming
191:11 maybe they're hosting a competition maybe you have to pay to enter the competition spamming the phone
191:15 that I don't know
191:19 okay nobody else understands what they're talking about either RE
191:23 photo comp started RE photo comp
191:31 next okay yeah sorry I was struggling to genuinely
191:35 tried hey DLL question for Linus how's the new winter jacket coming
191:39 along real estate photo company
191:43 oh my god I real estate no no no no no
191:47 Imperator in full plane chat said real estate that makes so much more sense real estate photo
191:51 company they hit 30 K in revenue they something something
191:55 or just spamming photos on a phone what was the other thing they were saying hitting the phone I think they
191:59 were looking how to scale fast right they wanted to scale up and
192:03 they weren't sure how to do that without just like hitting the phone which is probably
192:07 more like cold calling pacing ourselves or just spamming
192:11 the phone spamming the phone cold calling he's probably right
192:15 why this is a I mean it's gonna be all networking in that industry
192:19 like it's all old boys club so to speak
192:23 so you definitely want to make connections and everything else is
192:27 kind of secondary honestly as someone who's looked through real estate listings
192:33 man almost their photos terrible learn how to do HDR
192:37 better than like 90% of everybody and you're fine
192:41 there's some actually really good is not a high bar there is a lot of really good
192:45 YouTube tutorials but if you've already got 30 K in revenue you're fine
192:49 you know what you're doing yeah keep it up Congrats on
192:53 on growing it at a staging company keep it up
192:57 yeah staging is makes such a big difference or do okay so yeah probably
193:01 but a bunch of people are doing people are gonna like this but
193:05 like AI staging stuff lately it is actually very
193:09 surprisingly good because you can see the photo of the room empty and the photo
193:13 of the room with stuff in it and it's cool being able to see both idea
193:17 um new winter jacket
193:21 oh okay you'll have to do another one while I look
193:25 that up um
193:29 hi dll are you aware of
193:33 the development of 3d printed medication and the potential for multiple prescriptions to be
193:37 combined into one pill and you have thoughts about it
193:41 how does that make any sense why would you 3d print them
193:45 well maybe because you want like different release schedules or whatever
193:49 because like you know they can have different coatings and they can have different like capsules
193:53 and stuff that release at different times but why would you want to 3d print that
193:57 I don't know maybe it's more maybe it's like helps with the
194:01 complexity how do you ensure they're mixed properly
194:05 I don't know I don't know I'm not a doctor I'm just saying I like 3d printing
194:09 don't wait really
194:13 someone needs to clip that we need to clip that dad we need that clip
194:17 he knows what I mean yeah
194:21 I was in a couple time stamps uh
194:25 thermochromic jacket is expected to hit in
194:29 November so soon
194:33 but I don't want to nail down an exact week because things happen sometimes
194:37 but that's when it's expected hi LLD looking for
194:41 advice moving to rural Australia for work in the next
194:45 25 52 weeks steam deck versus xbox
194:49 ally versus laptop reviews seem to indicate ally x is under cooked
194:53 my friends use xbox online
194:57 I mean but these are all PCs the steam deck
195:01 with xbox online question mark
195:05 um I mean the laptop
195:09 if you can only have one the laptop has the most utility if you can get
195:13 one that supports a I don't think this one supports it but like like a
195:17 tent mode you know where it folds the other way and you can just
195:21 put it like this but with the screen on the outside very nice on a thing
195:25 with a controller that's pretty sick like if you can only have one I'd want the one that has
195:29 a keyboard I'm also personally leaning laptop but I
195:33 didn't answer right away because I don't have either the other ones so I'm a little bit
195:37 biased here yeah
195:41 and I don't know how much like a Strix Halo laptop costs this
195:45 this HP one my understanding is pretty
195:49 pretty expensive
195:55 it is true like the the steam deck is going to be
195:59 by far the cheapest option like one of the issues this question is you're asking
196:03 an insane variety in price
196:07 yeah I mean the steam deck is the best bank for the buck that's the easiest one to recommend but
196:11 as for the ally xbox ally x whatever stupid
196:15 thing is called also do you need to do more stuff on it it's it's
196:19 it's pretty good like I don't know what to tell you it's um
196:23 I think people are just frustrated because Microsoft sold it as something that it
196:27 wasn't as a small computer that's pretty
196:31 d's it's great yeah that's not the last question
196:35 maybe more of a general question my work has
196:39 a stupid new no graphic tease policy but the text isn't
196:43 banned we make a shirt that says shirt in giant text on it
196:47 how does that fit in with like your branding or your like
196:51 is that something that you would ever do or do you want to make like cool stuff
196:55 because like shirt that says in giant text is like
196:59 kind of my aesthetic in a way I love that type of stuff
197:05 okay pondering I mean do enough of you want this like is
197:09 that a thing I figured yeah can you make ASCII images that's
197:13 just text see that that sort of tickles my malicious compliance
197:17 but that's fantastic a lot more than the other one does it kind of made me think
197:21 of the the no-name brand like merch products that they do
197:25 we'll tell you what we'll do the ASCII one ASCII sounds like a cool idea
197:29 I like an ASCII art shirt I like that idea yeah thanks Amaria that sounds like a great point
197:33 okay could do I send this too okay I'll
197:37 the next time we do a Linux challenge we should both be required to
197:43 make a cool little you know
197:49 can I use the term to rice it out in a really cool way
197:53 that is the official term that is what people call it I'm just saying sure
197:57 we'll go with that and there is cool stuff that they do with ASCII art in that
198:01 process and we should we should do that that should be part of it
198:05 whatever leave me alone I don't know what else to call it
198:09 modify yeah but it doesn't
198:13 it doesn't encapsulate the that's true whatever
198:17 whatever you've been waiting for a turn yeah I have been waiting
198:21 so long for this to come back they have bought the northern lights
198:25 t-shirt tall yeah thank you for doing tall graphics
198:29 is this our first tall graphic and it's like five of them or something
198:33 that's actually very exciting I need to order them immediately
198:37 yeah I've been waiting so long for this to come back
198:41 what is the oldest used hardware you'd recommend picking up right now
198:45 oh man it depends on what you're trying to do I mean
198:49 open ended my uncle
198:53 needed a laptop with a CD ROM drive in it
198:57 and so we just grabbed some
199:01 like vista machine and
199:05 it will never be connected to a network so it doesn't matter because it's for
199:09 loading data from some CD
199:13 resource into some computer and it has to like live there because it has to be
199:17 used periodically and connected to that thing
199:21 and it's just like well that's the oldest hardware that I'd recommend for that
199:25 it just depends on what you're trying to do running a Windows XP machine today
199:29 if it was completely offline it's totally fine tons of them still work that way
199:33 in terms of what I would actually connect to the internet I would want something that is modern enough
199:37 to run an operating system that's still getting updates if it's Windows that means not that old
199:41 but if it's Linux go ham nice
199:47 dynastook and lan do sponsors pay extra for Riley to do
199:51 his amazing singing ad spots or does he do them just because he can
199:55 yes both of those things
199:59 he's kind of been a bit of a spiritual successor for what
200:03 Dennis was doing with what we call CSPs or creative
200:07 sponsor placements or something like that I forget what it's short for but
200:11 it was CSR creative sponsor reads but then
200:15 I was like that sounds too close to customer service representative and I'm never going to know what you're talking about
200:19 so we changed it to CSP and it is something
200:23 that sponsors can pay extra for and we do show them hey there's increased
200:27 retention there's increased click through like there's all these
200:31 benefits you should probably do this I have had two merge messages this evening
200:35 asking for a compilation I could see that being
200:39 something we might do on the clips channel at some point but yeah I know he's been
200:43 killing it cannot say
200:47 enough how impressed I have been with Riley's
200:51 work on that I am blown away not just Riley it's a team effort
200:55 it's not just Riley they have to be they have to be shot and edited and stuff
200:59 but like massive shout out to the team
201:03 so cool spin nuts last one I got for you today
201:07 good evening Linus, Luke and Dan what wireless technology do you think might
201:11 compete or replace Bluetooth do you think RF headphones would ever make a comeback
201:15 whatever happened to li-fi oh
201:19 I don't know man I mean there's only so much spectrum like it's one of those things where it's like
201:23 man what new continents do you think we could discover
201:27 you know over the last thousand years we've just western civilization
201:31 has discovered a continent at approximately a rate of one every 200 years
201:35 you know well like yeah okay
201:39 but here's a really controversial take
201:43 modern BTLE
201:47 pretty good there's more that could be done for user friendliness
201:51 but like why can't I have multi-channel with good audio
201:55 and a mic at the same time in current year
201:59 I am upset I agree with that
202:03 but it's still bluetooth you could just make bluetooth less garbage
202:07 and they are dual stream like bluetooth is continuing to get betterer
202:11 and I mean as far as I can tell the major constraint
202:15 is just that we all want it to be cheap if you could do 2.4GHz
202:19 communication expensively well it would be
202:23 better look at all the 2.4GHz dongles that exist that are
202:27 better than bluetooth but we want it to be low power we want it to be cheap
202:31 and we want it to have good range and we want it to have
202:35 a wide data path and we want it to have all these things
202:39 and it's like well look in the real world you don't get everything
202:43 so wait I think it will continue
202:47 to get better as for li-fi that's a good question I would love to know what happened to li-fi
202:51 and I was lying there's one more Linus you mentioned you still occasionally play halo infinite
202:55 do you prefer 4v4 modes or big team battle halo isn't halo to me
202:59 what about vehicles and at least 8 vs 8 I generally play 4v4
203:03 I find big team battle a little too chaotic for my boomer brain
203:09 that's all I got my apologies
203:21 thanks for tuning into the WAN Show we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel
203:25 I would have just stayed there I would have waited
203:29 I know I gotta go though he gave up early oh yeah bye
203:45 who knows
203:57 you
