9:50 Thanks to Linux and then totally did happen and we're so totally back. Thanks to Linux
10:00 No, I got a I got a lot of I got a lot of Linux challenge updates for y'all this week
10:04 It's gonna be freakin awesome in other sort of
10:09 Tangentially Linux related news it looks like valve is still on track to deliver their steam frame and
10:17 Steam machine in the first half of this year. So that's pretty exciting
10:22 They're still working out the details of pricing and exact delivery times, but hey
10:29 If they don't deliver it in Q1 All right, excuse me if they don't deliver it in the first half then at least we'll have a new funny meme for the valve time website
10:39 True Intel's new CPUs are in quotes. They're fastest gaming desktop processors ever
10:46 Hope so yeah pretty much, but hey, we'll talk about that. Hopefully that'll be cool. Also
10:51 More Linux news Linux has been hacked onto a ps5 effectively turning Sony's console
10:57 Into kind of a steam machine that can play PlayStation games
11:02 Honestly kind of cool that sounds kind of goaded sick pretty sick
11:09 We got a we got to do the thing hold on I can I think I can they boot
11:30 I don't know if I can manage to see it. I'll do it. Vessie factor meals. Oh do in Squarespace
11:36 Both our rap partner D brand laptop partner razor and chair partner razor
11:41 Thank you. I would give anything for a razor chair right now Luke. I am sitting on a stool
11:48 That is so crammed up against the bed behind me that the like rock hard for whatever reason frame around the bed is
11:57 Digging into my butt and cutting off my circulation
12:00 Rock-hard things in your butt Dude, yeah, some of the some of the hotel wancho setups that I've had have been pretty precarious. I'm not gonna lie
12:09 But what do you want to talk about first should we talk about my adventure getting the wancho going?
12:15 I was gonna say tech mall, but yeah, let's do that to be honest Let's do that and then we'll jump into a real topic and then we'll come back to your tech mall
12:22 Sure, it's it's all kind of related and it all started when I was still in the uber on my way to the airport and I realized
12:31 Holy crap, I forgot my wancho away kid
12:36 So, you know how the last wancho that I did remotely the quality was like actually kind of awesome. It's very good
12:42 Lots of good comments about it. Yeah Yeah, I was using an Elgato wave 3 microphone. So I was just using like a desktop
12:50 Like kind of podcasty gaming microphone. Yeah, and then so I was and then for the camera
12:57 I was using that like super bougie razor one from our webcam roundup. Yes. So like
13:04 $400 webcam and I was like, this is freaking awesome
13:08 And I was in the uber and I realized I didn't bring it. It was right next to my luggage
13:14 It was where I keep my passport. Yeah impossible for me to forget
13:18 Is it was kind of interesting because you did bring it to ZTW even like that's how like default it is for you to bring it
13:25 Uh-huh, but it didn't didn't come on this trip, I guess Well, what happened is I got interrupted in my packing multiple times because I have kids and stuff with me
13:34 So they needed help and when my routine gets interrupted. I
13:39 Can't I can't do anything. I'm useless. I'm worthless
13:44 hate me
13:48 Thanks Luke. That's the affirmation I needed. Yeah
13:51 Anyway, I was in the uber. I realized I didn't have it So Yvonne because she is I don't know a saint was like, oh, well, you know
14:01 Why don't we as part of our trip go to a tech mall and maybe you could make a video? Hey
14:07 Seriously, find a wife who supports you and your career as much as Yvonne does. That's amazing
14:15 Yeah, it's crazy and I was like wait, so did she film is this like old school?
14:22 You're getting so far ahead of things. Sorry, I'm getting excited. I'm getting excited. I'm telling my story. I tell my story
14:29 So so she so she's like, oh we should we should you know, yeah, you could do that and I was like
14:36 You know, I had really planned to just be on vacation this time this one time
14:42 I had planned to just be on vacation we could just go to Asia and I could not shoot a video in a tech mall and
14:52 Then I was like, well, okay Let's have a look at what my options are if I don't go to the tech mall and I went wait a second
15:03 my laptop is running Kubuntu right now and I have I
15:08 Had a bunch of issues on the plane on the way over here trying to get screen capture going because I was gaming on the plane
15:15 And because I I didn't bother to convert my handheld yet
15:20 I was like, okay. Well my gaming machine for this trip then is my laptop because I have to game on Linux
15:27 Dude, I had so many problems
15:32 But then not any of the problems that were anything to do with gaming
15:36 So we can talk about those later. Okay, the point is we got here
15:41 And I was like, oh, I really don't know about doing the tech mall thing and then I was like wait
15:45 Can I even join the WAN Show in my laptop's current state because OBS was a mess
15:51 I couldn't get screen capture working because I was trying to show some of the challenges that I was having on the plane on
15:58 The way over here and I wanted to record them and I literally couldn't
16:02 Still haven't solved it. I'm sure I can but I just haven't put in a ton of time to solve it yet
16:07 so I fired it up and I was like, oh
16:13 We are in serious trouble here because what I didn't realize is that while my camera works
16:19 The camera on this this ASUS machine that I'm that I'm demoing right now that I'm using for the Linux challenge
16:26 Super cool machine Strix Halo OLED screen
16:30 Beautiful machine awful webcam just
16:34 horrendous so the webcam sucked and
16:37 even worse my odd my onboard audio it turns out wasn't working and I didn't realize that for
16:46 I've been I've been Linux piled on this thing for I think two weeks now
16:50 The reason I didn't notice is because I I almost exclusively use my laptop docked
16:57 So I'm always running over. I'm always using a USB audio device or an HDMI audio device
17:05 Which does work or I'm using my AirPods which do work my actual onboard audio
17:14 Doesn't work. Oh, and so I So I'm in the hotel room and I'm like, okay
17:19 Am I gonna be able to do this and I just plug my headphones into my laptop and I go, holy crap
17:24 I don't have a my say I would normally use this mic and then I would use my headphones and neither of them were working
17:31 I was like Okay, what now hmm. I can't go back to Windows. That's not in the spirit of the challenge
17:40 So what are we gonna do? All right, we got to go to a tech mall
17:46 We're going to the tech mall so
17:49 Okay, one one side just a just a pause just pause you're we're getting some choppiness is this
17:56 Cuz you're on the other side of the planet like I'm looking for input potentially from Dan as well. This is your laptop
18:02 No, this is me using a Solution that I found. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. All right that I think you're gonna like
18:11 I think you're gonna like the solution. Okay. Is it a perfect solution?
18:15 No My audio good, is it just the video that chops a bit the audio? I mean, it's I can it's clear
18:23 It's not as high quality as we've sometimes had on remote calls, but it's I just mean does it chop does it chop?
18:29 No, audio seems fine. I think it's just the video. I think all right. Okay, so I headed to the tech mall which
18:37 The Wikipedia article indicates is amazing, you know, and I found some other sort of
18:43 Raw raw raw Korea type articles that are like, yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It's the best. It's the biggest in South Korea
18:50 It's awesome. That sounds great. And then I found some recent reviews on TripAdvisor and
18:56 from found some recent discussion on Reddit that it's
19:01 maybe seen better days and is quote-unquote a ghost town and
19:07 quote-unquote full of scammers and So I went in with very mixed expectations. It's gigantic. It's across
19:20 Over 20 buildings and totals like 5,000 shops. So unlike, you know, Simlim Square or
19:28 unlike the one that I went to in
19:33 What's it called the the the Taipei one? It's not a mall
19:38 It's more like Like I'm gonna pronounce it wrong, but like Washong Bay like like the big tech district in
19:47 In Shenzhen. It's it's more like that
19:50 So it's just like it's like a district and some of it is, you know, corporate offices and some of it is
19:56 Tech malls and some of it is more like traditional malls that just have a bunch of tech on the ground floor
20:03 so I Had a simple objective Luke a simple objective
20:09 I wanted a desk USB microphone and a bougie web cam at any time. Any time
20:16 has a simple
20:21 I feel like you need more complicated objectives, so then maybe things will be easier. I don't I don't know
20:27 It's so true though like seven gamers one CPU
20:31 Yeah Got it done
20:36 Yeah, I don't know For bonus points for bonus points
20:41 I was like, hey, it'd be kind of cool to have a little LED light, you know, so that I would actually look dice. Sure. All right
20:49 so I made my way through
20:52 four or five floors of this place and
20:57 First it seemed extremely promising just about the first store
21:02 I walked into had a little like razor desk microphone and I was like, oh, this is great
21:08 This was basically effortless. I'm I'm gonna be good to go. But hey, you know, I don't want to buy the first thing
21:15 I see I'm not that kind of guy. I want to I want a scrapyard hunt a little bit. I want I want to see what else they got
21:23 so anyway, I like pour through this place and
21:29 It dude, it's a journey. It's a journey. It ended up being like a very old-school video
21:34 I actually filmed it completely myself. Okay, I'm just on an iPhone
21:38 I've got my mic pack and I'm just exploring this tech mall and the ups and downs are crazy
21:45 I'm like this is I Probably more excited about this than like I
21:50 Don't know that's just that sounds great. I Don't know much else to say
21:56 At one point at one point shortly after noticing an entire store dedicated to Noctua, which was pretty cool
22:04 I Was like on the verge of giving up and I find a Logitech store and I'm like, oh my gosh
22:12 That's it. That's the solution to my problem and I go wait. Oh, oh, oh
22:17 It's just mice It's like it's like just mice. Whoa, okay. He's got two webcams
22:24 he has the dinkiest webcam of all time and
22:29 The other ever so slightly less dinkiest webcam of all time and no microphones and then finally I was like, okay
22:40 Well, I don't want to walk away completely empty handed. I'm gonna go get that mic from the shops closed
22:45 Every other shop in the entire mall is open the one shop
22:49 I went everywhere else not a single other desktop microphone. Lots of like crappy tacky gaming headsets
22:55 No desktop USB microphones. They're freaking closed. So I'm just like, okay
23:01 Who we're we are getting to the point now where we are starting to run out of time and I have nothing
23:07 I have no microphone. I have no webcam and I especially have no LED light
23:13 so I'm just like I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the Noctua store because I
23:19 Have an entire Noctua store. They're just probably based
23:23 And I'm gonna ask them for help I did ask I did ask some other people for help and they were basically just like no English. Goodbye
23:31 I was like, okay. I mean fair enough, right? Like yeah, fine. Yeah, but which is funny though because in general
23:39 I'm in South Korea if nobody figured that out yet from sort of the contextual clues. I
23:44 I Everywhere else I've gone people have been like trip over themselves to be helpful helpful
23:51 Like I'll just I had a great experience a little bit confused
23:54 I I spent like like four seconds looking at a metro map
24:00 Just to make sure that I was going down the right stairwell to go to the right terminus station, right?
24:05 And some guy walks over and he's like, can I help you do you need help or you lost?
24:09 I'm like, no, no, I'm actually good. But wow like thank you Been absolutely incredible not in the tech mall for some reason the vibe was very like like you make eye contact with them
24:18 And they go oh foreigner pretend. I didn't see him like and then even like like like laughing to each other that they're
24:24 They're both like going out of their way to ignore me right now. I'm like, okay, sure
24:29 It might just be the one building that I started in though. Anyway, the Noctua dudes
24:34 Absolute bros. I we used Google translate and we figured it out and they sent me to a different building
24:41 where Once again, I
24:44 Found something I needed like immediately. Well, I'm just gonna check. Yeah
24:48 I walked basically through the door and into a shop with a road NT USB plus
24:55 Which is a perfectly Cromulent desktop microphone except once again. I was like, well, come on
25:03 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just buy the first thing I see never mind that it's like
25:07 Getting to be close to Yvonne and the kids are done at the zoo and we should probably get together for dinner at some point
25:13 But I want to look around a little bit because dude this place was nuts in terms of like camera and production gear
25:20 Like they had I think it was what was it like an FS7?
25:24 Mark 2 or something like that like multiple used camera bodies of that caliber right next to each other amidst like a
25:32 hundred other production grade camera bodies just like
25:36 Dude, you'd never get away with this kind of thing in North America Just like on the ground floor of this mall like right next to the exit
25:42 Yeah, I get hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of camera bodies just like sitting on the counter crazy
25:46 Not even like like bolted to anything
25:50 and Like and full of like second-hand stuff
25:54 Tons of second-hand tech actually in both in the first mall, which was more like PC hardware and in the second
26:01 Mall that ended up being more like video production and then also PC hardware and also like the
26:07 bougiest audio equipment Dan you'd get such a kick out of this place like I saw turn tables that were
26:13 Way more art than they were actually meant to be a turntable as far as I could tell
26:19 Anyway, I walk into the place. I get a quote. Okay. How much is it?
26:24 Nothing's got pricing on it in a lot of the shops so they just like they pull it a calculator and it's like you ain't calculating nothing you're just typing a number in like you just
26:37 They just use it so that they can I don't know seem like they calculated the price
26:41 Well, isn't it that thing like don't automotive dealerships do this too if they don't say it if they just show it to you
26:47 It doesn't like impact as much. I think I think it's like a psychological thing
26:52 I think so because dealerships will like write down the number and like slide it over to you on paper
26:56 So they don't have to say it
26:59 Really I wonder if chat's gonna chime in in Japan these calculator show prices everywhere, too
27:07 Maybe it's
27:12 Yeah, like I could I could definitely see that
27:16 When I bought my bike so he negotiation tool. Maybe it's both
27:21 He shows me this price he shows me this price on his calculator and I go, okay
27:25 Well, you know, I want to shop around a little bit No, not gonna buy the first thing I see and I go and I look it up after I leave him like oh my god
27:31 That's like a hundred US dollars more than if I just bought this thing at B&H. So while it's a
27:37 perfectly good desktop microphone and
27:40 While I'll be honest with you guys, right like I'm you know, let's be real
27:45 The WAN Show must go on and if it came down to it
27:49 I would buy it so that I can be coming to you guys with reasonable quality from halfway around the world
27:56 But I don't like just Burning a hundred dollars like that. It doesn't make me happy. Yeah, so I was like, okay, I
28:05 Need to try to find something else Dude if I'd been looking for like a like a hammer microphone
28:11 And I wanted like a professional like like audio mixer or whatever dude. I'd have been I'd have been so good
28:19 So awesome. If I wanted a road like like camera mounted like vlogging microphone. I'd have been so good. I
28:27 Couldn't find a single other place that had a USB microphone even in this second mall
28:32 And I was like starting to lose hope and then and then this is actually kind of amazing
28:38 totally serendipitous I was going past this store kind of like talking about
28:44 the the the one one side of it and
28:48 Buddy gets like real mad at me for having my camera because some of the stores here in particular the gaming ones
28:55 They do not want you filming their storefronts And I don't know if it's because they have knockoff stuff or like pirated
29:02 Software or they have like emulated software running as part of their display. I
29:07 Whatever their reasons are for it. There was one like Like very Nintendo centric shop in particular that was like super mad when I had my phone out. I was like, sorry, bro
29:16 I like honestly don't didn't even care about your store. So
29:21 Sure anyway, I was going past this like this island in the middle of the mall and and I and I
29:29 Accidentally shot it and he's like bro was like super mad and then that actually made me stop
29:36 And I realized that and oh when you got mad at me about wearing a backpack, too
29:41 He was the first one to yell at me about my backpack and Because I stopped because he yelled at me. I realized that he also had the like the little hole in the wall next to it and
29:53 He had an NT USB plus in there and I was like, okay
29:57 Well, look we got off on the wrong foot, but I'll tell you what I'm gonna take my backpack off. You can have it
30:03 I'm gonna go over there and I'm gonna look a little bit more closely
30:06 and He gave me a way better price. So
30:10 Here it is, okay, I'm coming to you guys from a road NT USB plus and
30:18 I had long since given up on finding a bougie webcam. So I
30:24 Went all in Luke Chips all in on the table on being able to use my phone as my webcam
30:33 Which is where the Linux saves the day comes in at the end of this story, okay?
30:40 Interesting buddy buddy with the mic also had what were it? What were the other things I needed? Okay, right, right, right?
30:47 I needed a stand and a and a light the light ended up not being great. I've got this
30:53 What is it? It's a small rig. I want to say p96
30:58 Yeah, more like poo poo 96 because this thing as far as I can tell just makes everything I pointed at worse
31:06 I Didn't had me turn it off before the show
31:10 So I also want to stand in a light that are that are pretty bad
31:15 And then from another one down the like just down the walkway in the mall
31:20 I got a little phone tripod. That's also a selfie stick and and that's what I'm coming to you guys from there
31:26 So it's just over my my laptop webcam
31:29 So last night I get back to the room
31:33 Man shows in the morning for me, right? Like it's a 9 a.m. Start or whatever it was. So I'm not gonna have time to go out
31:41 Shopping and re could jigger a solution before literally
31:44 Yeah, don't have another SSD to like put Windows on this laptop and get that working because I've done the whole
31:51 Phone as a webcam thing before but never on Linux
31:58 So last night it's desperation time
32:02 First I get the mic working the mic's working
32:05 But like OBS wasn't recording it for some blah blah blah a lot of troubleshooting that unfortunately
32:11 I tried to record and ultimately I don't think I was able to record because the mic wasn't recording any of it
32:17 So yeah, cool that probably won't make it into the video and then I was like, okay
32:22 I need to figure out this camera
32:26 So I found three solutions suggested by AI
32:31 All of which apparently are Ubuntu ready Debian ready
32:38 I'm not using Ubuntu. I'm using Kubuntu or Ubuntu
32:42 It's Ubuntu not Ubuntu, but it's hard for me to remember that anyway
32:46 I'm using Kubuntu, but that's basically just Ubuntu with kitty. So it should be anything anything Ubuntu. I should be good to go
32:54 so I fire up my What what's what's it called home discover which is the kind of the app store that Kubuntu comes with and
33:02 Even though I've already configured it to use
33:07 What are the what are the ones that I added I added flat hub and I think I added something else
33:14 two of the three suggestions for
33:17 Use your phone as a webcam things didn't show up or they like
33:24 Yeah, basically yeah, didn't work and then I found this one that is rated like three stars I
33:32 Re in webcam for Linux v2.9.1 I
33:39 Installed it There was literally nothing to configure
33:45 I Don't think I have ever
33:49 used anything this seamlessly before
33:52 In my life, you've just got a drop-down. Which camera would you like that camera back?
33:59 Telephoto What what was that?
34:07 What one of them was like a monkey face or something
34:10 What do you mean monkey? That's my face bro. I don't know. I think one of them wasn't you. No, I swear
34:16 I Swear what was there not did you see that did anyone else am I crazy? I'm pulling up play back
34:25 What was that? That what that was my face, bro. No
34:33 There's another drop-down for video format you just pick your resolution and you pick your frame rate and
34:38 Then there's another whether you want to use the audio from your iPhone
34:44 That's it, and you're just
34:47 You're just good to go What it what?
34:53 Apparently it was my face it was zoomed in super blown out and upside down
35:01 The telephoto screen cap it my bad my bad, okay
35:09 It's gonna monitor is gonna
35:14 So I connected with a cable and that didn't seem to do anything so I'm just on hotel Wi-Fi. It just
35:22 Immediately worked and has not been perfect, but it has like
35:28 Basically worked for as long as I've been streaming with you today So I am completely coming to you Linux live, and it's going great. Thanks to
35:39 Irian webcam v2.9.1
35:43 Awesome, that's actually that's my
35:46 It's been it's been sort of
35:50 Almost like a like a microcosm of my entire Linux experience
35:56 Even like over the years if I try to do something complicated. It's shocking how
36:03 How somebody thought of that and built a solution for it it tends to be and you try to do something
36:09 When I try to do the simplest bloody
36:13 thing It breaks. Let me install steam gone
36:18 Let me let me use my phone's camera as a webcam instantly works
36:23 That's easy. See like I would have I would have been scared of that problem to be completely honest
36:30 Yeah, I'm surprised that was just like one shot. That's really cool actually I
36:35 was I was scared of this problem and like
36:39 I don't know man, and you know what's funny is I saw someone
36:43 Cringing that I'm using AI as part of the Linux challenge, but there's two things right one is that that's how people are gonna
36:51 Do it. Yeah, you don't have to like it, but you do have to just kind of sit down and accept it
36:55 Like all of my normie friends and family they go straight for the AI when they want to know how to do something these days
37:01 And there's also like you don't have to take my word for it That's just like us and that's just like declining
37:08 Use of of click-through. That's just a fact. That's just how it is and you can you can hate it
37:13 Yep, but you do just have to like deal with it that that's how people are doing things and what this is
37:19 Sorry, you can keep going Number two is honestly, it's been way more useful when I was trying to figure out my screen recording issue
37:27 I came out. I came across a like a discussion thread that had I kid you not
37:33 Five different solutions for how I can solve screen recording issues on Kubuntu. I don't want five solutions
37:41 I want to know how to fix it and and and all these individual people are just arguing with each other about
37:48 The the validity and merit of all these various
37:52 Solutions some of which like I tried the first couple and they didn't even like apply anymore
37:59 just Wasn't that useful? And so
38:03 That's the two that's the two things so as part of the Linux challenge
38:07 It's something that I would do Anyway, just because a huge part of my approach is that I'm trying to I'm trying to kind of channel my inner
38:16 What would a random, you know, and I have this one guy that I think of when I think of the slack jawed gamer and
38:24 I bumped into him at packs
38:27 Like 11 years ago. Oh, it was back when NVIDIA launched the shield portable handheld. Remember that thing?
38:35 Yeah, and I know I know the story You know the story, you know the story
38:39 Okay, so I encountered this guy who's sitting on a beanbag
38:45 Playing a PC game on this on this Android portable
38:51 That is streaming over Wi-Fi, which at the time was absolutely
38:56 Mind-blowing. Yeah, I was so I was so amped about like Wi-Fi
39:02 Game streaming and the fact that this device was like decent ergonomics and reasonable portability that could play Android games
39:07 And you could stream your freaking PC games over Wi-Fi to it. It blew my freaking mind and eventually became G-Force now and
39:16 and and moonlight and and steam remote play and just this technology and
39:20 The forefront of it. I think even just that concept in general also inspired you pretty heavily
39:27 Towards what ended up being your like my my compute at my home is a server room thing
39:32 Yes, because you used to talk a lot about how it would be likely that a lot of people would end up going that route and then
39:38 Distributing compute throughout their house and then that didn't get as popular as kind of a lot of people actually expected
39:45 But you were still able to pull it off well for your setup not in the way that I anticipated
39:49 Instead it lives in a data center. Yes in the form of G-Force now. Yeah, or whatever Microsoft calls their remote Xbox stuff
39:56 Anyway, the point is I walk up to this guy who's experiencing the freaking future in his hands and I go
40:04 Like oh, yeah What do you think he's sitting there on this beanbag? He's like
40:10 That was cool. I Was like, oh, yeah, did you do you realize that like it's it's like beaming to you and he's like
40:19 He's just gaming he's just gaming he doesn't care how it works
40:26 He doesn't he doesn't want to go any further than like the lowest possible friction path to he's just playing his game
40:33 He's like locked in and I was like, okay. Well, I'm basically I'm talking to a vegetable at this point
40:38 Yeah, but it was just it was really eye-opening to me because you know for many years
40:43 I had thought oh well like, you know gamers were we're like we're very interested in like the hardware and
40:48 And and and how it all you know is configured and what every setting means and we really care about all this stuff
40:53 But no there is a very very large much larger way larger proportion of gamers who don't care
41:04 At all Not even a little bit and and so yeah, probably high. Yes. Charged nuclei
41:10 Almost definitely like high as a kite this guy. It was remarkable
41:16 Anyway, I forget where I was going with this But the point is that that's how I'm doing it because that's how people are doing it and honestly I
41:24 Can't argue with the result worked great. Thanks. I'm I'm coming to you. I'm coming to you over Linux Linux saved the WAN Show boys
41:32 this and I don't I don't have a I don't have much Linux news things have been going fine for me
41:38 I think I've already updated WAN Show on what's going with my laptop
41:43 So I have Linux Mint on there For for yeah, I guess I guess a little bit of an update there just because you don't know what's going on
41:50 Because in the video I talked about how I've been running arch on my laptop for a while
41:54 technically when I filmed that it was running Windows and
41:59 Up until fairly recently it was running Windows, but it was running Windows because it was having a hardware issue and
42:07 Lenovo the laptop maker was like maybe it's Linux, which is I'm not even upset at them for saying that
42:14 Reasonable enough because the hardware issue that was that was
42:17 Happening was the screen would just like lock and that's kind of weird
42:21 So like it wasn't like the computer would just shut down randomly or anything the screen would lock
42:26 And there was no yeah anyways So they were like can you try Windows?
42:29 So I did and the same problem happened and then I just was too lazy to switch back over because
42:33 The whole point of running arch was to just point out that if you live in a browser all the time
42:37 It just doesn't really matter and then Windows was getting in my way because the start menu stopped working
42:42 So I rage I rage installed mint because I'm more comfortable with mint
42:46 And mid spin a fantastic experience I was pointing out to people before the show that I think it's actually really cool, and I don't know how many
42:54 Maybe there's tons of other examples of this. I don't know. I'm not that experience
42:57 But like if I type in SN for snipping tool
43:02 Screen shot will come up a tool that mint has yeah, it's not snipping whatever
43:06 It's screen shot if I type in paint it'll come up with drawing
43:11 It it has like something some form of information
43:15 That's like these are common things a Windows user would type in a start menu
43:18 It's kind of what they expect to come up, and then those things tend to come up, which is fantastic keywords
43:23 Yeah, some aliases keywords something they have some type of list yeah
43:27 Metadata yeah, and it makes it just super easy. Oh my god everything. I've had to do super easy
43:34 I had to sign PDF said stuff's already installed whatever super easy. What a joke
43:40 The biggest problem with computers that I've had in the last week
43:47 Isn't isn't like technically a problem. It didn't stop me from doing anything
43:52 But it's been that this computer is
43:55 Dan, and I think it's like failing to Windows update, but constantly trying
44:02 Because there's Because there's the Windows modules installer worker that for literally hours at this point has been taking up a very
44:14 Significant amount of memory a very significant amount of CPU a decent amount of disk just
44:20 Everything and going like hard there has been times where we've seen it spin up to over like 40% CPU usage
44:27 And it's just sitting there almost always at the top the highest process being used and like I've got I've got
44:34 Chrome open right now on here with with the the WAN dock and and Floatplane and chat and all this kind of stuff
44:40 And it's it's not even chrome that's using the most system resources. It's the Windows module installer
44:47 I've had some other interesting issues with it You try to install it and it fails and then to retry it has to download the whole thing again nice
44:55 And so it's probably downloading and it's so slow. Yeah, and then it fails and tries again
45:01 so with with one browser with three tabs open and
45:06 task manager I'm at 60% memory
45:11 25% CPU usage because Windows module installer and the service host Windows event log
45:16 and WMI and and a few other things are just cranking like all the time
45:24 And and yeah, so the biggest problem
45:29 I've had during the Linux challenge has been a Windows computer
45:33 That being said I haven't
45:37 I've been intentionally avoiding some things knowing that they won't work
45:41 But yeah, here's a question for you. Yeah, is that a hack?
45:51 Because I have mixed thoughts on this like on the one hand
45:56 Launching a game that says not compatible on proton DB
46:00 That feels like just throwing Linux under the bus, right?
46:04 Well, on the other hand if you go in in good faith being like I need to accomplish
46:09 Task a well, here's my here's my out. There's no solution. Yeah. No, that's fine. Here's my good faith thing. I don't check I
46:18 Don't even go to proton interesting I run in compatibility mode with 10 10 whatever 10-04 whatever it is the newest
46:26 proton compatibility mode and I just run it
46:30 Interesting I don't play as many games. I don't game as much as I used to everything's been fine
46:36 The little tux in your game library will like tell you if it's Linux ready anyway, so you don't even use that. No, don't look
46:45 That's crazy. Just to me That's the kind of thing that if I did people would be losing their minds at me like I'm like I'm trying I haven't ran into a
46:55 Single problem if I if I clicked play and it didn't launch I'd look into something
46:59 But there has been no reason to like that. I'm not I'm not trying to there's a I saw some reviews
47:05 Some people like reviewing our first video and like some comment threads about it
47:09 And they're all like all while he's fine because he's like super Linux experience
47:13 I'm not do it in like the same way that Linus isn't doing anything. I'm not doing anything
47:19 I'm not I'm doing nothing I so far it's been kind of luck of the draw, but like you saw this right like we went down to Florida. I
47:28 downloaded Slay the Spire 2 on
47:32 Pre-release launch I clicked play I would assume something light like Slay the Spire sure work
47:39 I didn't but then you can't assume you can't I don't think that's a crazy assumption either to be honest, but like yeah
47:46 Yeah, it wouldn't be crazy if it didn't work. Yeah, it's in EA, right? Yeah, but I didn't check any electronic arts
47:52 I didn't I didn't look up if anyone was having problems before we went into a place with dubious internet
47:57 I I didn't right a plan anything. I did nothing
48:02 Install the game clicked play and it worked completely flawlessly
48:06 It's also good dough. It's it's like
48:10 Yeah, it's yeah, I just
48:13 It's been I I I played probably about three hours of God of War
48:22 Like like remaster like not the first God of War game from like the PlayStation or whatever
48:27 But like yeah God of War the relaunch, whatever you want to call it. Yeah
48:31 And it was freaking awesome I don't know if I was getting as much performance as I would have gotten on Windows
48:39 But I was getting enough performance. I did run into a weird issue where
48:44 My charger I only brought like a little compact 65 watt charger and this laptop
48:50 Realistic it comes with like a 150 watt charger or something like that
48:54 But I can I can game off of that charger and it'll like it'll hold the line like it won't charge or discharge
49:04 so that was what I brought with me and I did run into an issue where I got down to 10% battery and
49:10 I got that notification and then I was like, oh crap someone knocked my my charger off on the plane
49:16 So I put it back in and then because that notification kept like coming and going and coming and going because I was like riding 10% forever
49:23 the game Eventually entered a state where it just got kind of choppy and wouldn't run properly
49:29 So I had to turn it off Charge up a little bit launch the game again, and then it was smooth again, but like realistically
49:37 I don't know I would have you could have an issue like that on a on a Windows PC as well
49:42 So I'm I'm counting that as as it ran pretty darn good. Yeah, and I'm really enjoying the game so far. I
49:49 Finally freaking playing it. It's funny. How that kind of happens for me is
49:53 It takes like a new device launch or a Linux challenge or something for me to
49:58 Finally get into a game. I've been meaning to play for years. Yeah
50:02 That come out 2018 or 2017 or something not quite, but I think I think we're getting close
50:09 There's been like sequels to it since then But there is some things like you know
50:15 I'm not playing I don't know Basically any multiplayer shooter game
50:21 Yeah And again, it's I feel like it's less impactful this time around so I'm not playing as much stuff
50:29 Right. Yeah, I mean your gaming rig has been just like locked away for a freaking six months anyway
50:35 So it's not like you're like locked in and hyper deep into a season of something
50:40 Yeah, right as you're you're starting the challenge There is the wipes coming soon and you want to get in a bunch of gaming or whatever the one casualty is
50:48 um Tarkov released 1.0 recently and you can like escape from Tarkov now you can like complete the game
50:56 Um, and I like have some curiosity to do that and finally put like a pin in it and be like I have completed
51:05 And and that's the the draw is not
51:08 Strong enough for me to like really care I think like it's it's one of those we had this conversation pretty early of like
51:15 It kind of blows me to compromise What games you can play because your operating system?
51:21 And I'm sitting here on Linux being like the experience has been pretty good
51:25 I don't really care enough. I think to uh, so far this this is even I think that might be a bit of a boomer dad take though
51:32 It might be but it's where like gaming is not Gaming is not as much of a central part. No, no that I know I just mean like gaming in general
51:41 I don't think is as much of a central part of your social life
51:44 That's where I'm getting with this. Yeah, there is a weird
51:47 I saw somebody point out and I don't know if this will work with Tarkov. Maybe it were some of the things
51:53 Uh, this isn't even a recommendation and like it's kind of
51:56 I wouldn't want to do it. I'm I have actually less interest in this than I do in like dual booting, which I don't have a lot of interest in
52:03 um But g-force now
52:07 Is apparently a way you can get around some stuff like fortnite apparently you can play fortnite through g-force now
52:12 um I I didn't have interest in playing fortnite before. I don't have interest in playing fortnite now
52:18 Um, but yeah, like I'm trying to think of what slay the spire one and two have launched both of those
52:24 um Baldur's gate
52:28 Uh My dad and I jumped on wow that worked
52:33 You just have to add wow you have to go in steam and then click activate a
52:40 non-steam game And then just add the installer through there
52:44 And it and then it'll just proton you yeah, it just works
52:48 Okay, which is like, you know that does take a second you have to google like okay, what and then the whole internet
52:56 Honestly, what's been really really helpful and I wonder if this is a bit of a hack for me
53:01 Is part of the reason why I went with cash is because it's based on arch so I can follow the steam deck guides
53:08 Right, yeah, so that was what I ended up seeing for
53:12 Uh Wow was a steam deck guide. How do I play on steam deck?
53:17 And I was like, that'll probably work for me. And then yeah, I did
53:20 Uh, I gotta be honest with you. I've been happy about my kubuntu choice for pretty much the same reason
53:27 Because kubuntu gebion. Yeah are by far
53:33 The the the most supported when it comes to just like a random application for using your iphone as a webcam
53:41 That being said literally I'd be really interested if you sent that to me because I
53:46 Figured out recently the whole tarball thing
53:49 It's just a zip file You just open it and then run the stuff that's inside of it and it seems to work fine. I had something that was made for
53:58 uh debion Work with nothing from my end
54:03 um Immediately and it was completely fine. So
54:07 I don't know. Uh, let me have a look at what their what their download formats are
54:14 Uh, oh, yeah, it's a oh, it's a beta. I actually forgot to mention that that the iran webcam is beta for Linux
54:20 And it just worked immediately into 2204 or later required. So they're literally on their site was not an obvious way
54:29 to um
54:33 Yeah, so it's a dot deb download. So I just so all I had to do was just open it in my
54:39 In my store in my discover store or whatever the stupid thing is called in my discover store and go for it
54:45 Um, so sorry. No, this one's not beta. So the support for ubuntu is not beta
54:52 And then there's a Linux RPM package, which i'm not familiar with. I don't know what that means
54:56 I don't know how that relates to your tarballs or whatever um
55:01 But that one is in beta and that's uh, yeah dot RPM whatever that is
55:05 So when it comes to doing anything not gaming
55:10 Which I haven't actually really needed a ton of guides for I've been
55:14 extremely Luh happy to be on debian basically to be on ubuntu. Yeah, I found um
55:23 You know mint just had all the stuff pre-installed like I've been having a good time with kashi
55:27 But I I don't know if I would recommend kashi to a ton of people
55:31 Um It's I hate to be that guy out of the box
55:35 I don't know if I would recommend any flavor of the weak distro
55:39 No, I and not not because this is a big part of the reason why I think yeah, but because the people who
55:46 Tends to evangelize these distros
55:50 Are self-selecting as people who enjoy
55:54 tinkering Yeah, and so the very fact
55:59 That they are recommending it tells me that that's probably not what I want
56:04 Um, no offense. No offense. And for me, it's been fine
56:10 But it is been like oh, okay. I have to like go get something for screenshots
56:15 All right Like there's been stuff like that and it's been easy to do so. I like you you're talking about how you haven't been using like
56:22 Thank you. I like you too You're talking about how you haven't been using the like forums much and stuff
56:28 Um, yeah, I've been kind of avoiding them as well
56:32 Uh me too, but I've been mostly avoiding them the level one text forum is is permanently based
56:37 But a lot of the other ones like honestly, I just don't need that much negativity
56:41 You get you get like a a simple question and then it's just
56:46 20 pages of people screaming at each other for like often
56:51 Completely unrelated reasons. It's wild. Um, it's it's honestly just kind of terrible, but
56:57 Um level one text forum has been awesome and holy wars are bad and the collateral damage is not worth it
57:04 And you were talking about how like the flavor of the month distros thing
57:07 One thing I will give cashy as much as I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to
57:11 To new Linux users so much at least in my experience. Um, is their wiki is
57:17 Awesome, if you're willing to kind of like pour through a wiki a bit. I I could actually totally see new users using cashy
57:24 They have like this software list thing where it's like
57:27 Oh, here's a a ton of different things you might need to do on your computer and here's recommended software that you can use on cashy
57:33 Um, and here's the like package name so you can stall it super easy stuff like that
57:38 Um, but yeah, their wiki is sweet. Their documentation is really good. Um, so I've often I've I've kind of defaulted to just like
57:45 I'm not actually going to look up What people are saying
57:49 I'm just going to look up the wiki and just find the information already there and grab that. Um
57:56 Yeah Yeah
58:00 It's been uh, it's been pretty good. I will say the the mint experience has been more comfortable isn't safe
58:06 No, nowhere is I think like toxicity. Yeah, I actually think it's just nowhere tinkered with Windows
58:12 Especially when he had learned pc stop lying
58:15 Nobody said that nobody said anything about that. It's just it's honestly like it sucks. I honestly
58:22 I think it I think it might be worse Than the first time we did this
58:26 Um, which I find interesting. I was
58:29 I was expecting it to be better after that. Yeah, me too. Like I it seemed like after the initial
58:37 Very strong reaction
58:41 Um last time around It seemed like they
58:45 A lot of people stopped blaming the user quite as much when they realized. Oh wait
58:50 That was a really bad bug that caused that Oh wait, a lot of this feedback is really valuable
58:56 We actually have a couple of people who between them had at the time probably about
59:02 30 years of experience testing tech products
59:06 doing free qa like
59:09 Maybe this is valuable what's going on right now and a lot of stuff
59:14 On the developer side Got fixed after we flagged I will say we had issues with it
59:21 Linux the experience of using Linux again itself both mint and cachey has actually been really cool the the
59:29 The improvements over the last what four Years
59:33 Has been yeah, it's been a while that's been one of the really cool things about using mint on my laptop too is
59:38 As much as I'm playing around with cachey I get to experience the thing that I did last time too and seeing the gap like mint has come
59:45 Really far people people trash on mint for not getting as many updates because it's an lts thing and all that kind of stuff
59:50 um, there's other parts of that as well, but it has
59:54 Be gotten a lot better actually and I I kind of liked it last time
60:05 Since last time we did this challenge, but the community just
60:10 Ah guys the memes aren't cool like it's actually just sucks. It's very it's very uh acidic
60:16 I don't want to go near it too much and again. There are havens
60:20 For like the fourth time or something the level one text forum is awesome. Um, that that cachey wiki is freaking fantastic
60:28 Um, there are places where you can have really good interactions
60:32 Um, but man, there is just so much prickly
60:38 I don't know it's very like holier than thou mentality
60:41 Um, I must be right about my opinion that multiple people could be right about situation
60:47 So this is really important. Um, our on my float playing commenter is still upset
60:53 Basically going you hold Linux to a bar and then flame it. That's how it feels and it's like
61:02 Yeah, it's all about the perspective when you hear me talk about
61:06 Linux in general open source in general, you'll hear me be extremely
61:11 Uh, you'll hear me praise it like very very strongly because the concept is incredible world changing is is not an overstatement, right?
61:21 Uh, the free open source software is is is like, you know, youtube
61:27 Yeah, I I would I would say as a wonder of the world is is incredible as something we've never had before and yeah
61:33 May never see again if somehow we we lose what we have now this amazing thing
61:38 And and part of what's amazing about it is that it shouldn't be lost
61:41 It it doesn't seem like it it it's possible for it to be lost
61:45 But we should never take that for granted either. That's all i'm trying to say
61:49 Um, so from that perspective, you know, i'm very positive very bullish
61:55 I mean you've heard me many times publicly talk about how the year the Linux desktop is coming. I think steam os could be the one
62:03 However When I am approaching something from the perspective of an individual user who's trying to get something done
62:11 You're just gonna have to put the emotions aside because
62:15 And so am I If I go and I click run this software
62:20 And it doesn't or it has me Dunking around in the terminal a bunch
62:26 Then i'm gonna have to just give you a reality bomb that most people don't want to do that
62:31 And that's a terrible user experience and when I show up on a forum talking about that terrible user experience
62:37 And you get emotional like you're getting emotional right now
62:41 And you make it that you know, i'm attacking this thing that is precious to you instead of just going, okay
62:49 Maybe this thing I love isn't perfect and could be better
62:53 That's destructive That actually works against
62:57 Um, what we're all trying to do and what I am rooting for which is year of the Linux desktop
63:03 But these different perspectives matter and these different framings matter Linux challenge is not about do I love
63:10 Open source software and do I support it? It's about hey as a gamer
63:15 How actually usable is this day to day and how much work do I have to put into it?
63:19 Am I it's also not a am I substituting?
63:23 Go ahead. It's also not a Linux sales pitch. Um, like I I've I've seen some
63:32 Yeah, I've seen some people like upset that the negativity exists
63:35 I've seen some people upset that Linus is trying to
63:39 interact with things in the way that a normal user might and stuff and it's like guys what like what
63:44 I I switch to Linux videos on youtube. There's so many people have figured out that this format kind of works and people click on it
63:54 Uh Cool sounds great. This is our angle. Everyone's gonna have their own
63:59 um Yeah, it's
64:05 It's it's interesting, but like it's
64:09 It is a problem that the community is so toxic being
64:13 Honestly being too being too positive about something
64:17 I think can can be equally destructive to it if you misrepresent something big
64:23 I mean think about it if you're shopping for a car Okay, and you walk into the dealership and they tell you it gets a thousand miles to the gallon
64:33 and the paint Never peels it never needs to be washed and the second, you know a woman sees you in it
64:41 She will be drawn to you magnetically and you buy this thing and it turns out it's just a car
64:48 You're gonna be disappointed because the framing of it was totally wrong and you lose trust
64:55 Exactly and and and you might never buy a car from that brand again
64:59 That's why I think it is so important to just
65:03 take off the makeup And be realistic about what this is like and what the problems are and if I find a problem
65:11 If a problem that I find is that hey this os that
65:15 Everyone knows is bad Still gets recommended a lot by tools like google search
65:23 And like chat gpt that you don't have to like it, but you do have to just
65:28 Kind of deal with it that basically everyone uses
65:33 Then don't be mad at me. I'm just the messenger
65:36 solve the problem If that's what you're passionate about this is off topic solve the problem
65:41 But you said steam os could be the one for you're the Linux desktop
65:47 I don't think it's going to be I don't think it's going to be probably ever
65:52 Um, I don't think valve is going to want to support the non gaming aspects of it
65:58 But that's one of the reasons why I've been playing around in like arch
66:02 land And like playing around with a couple different distros and stuff like that is because my current
66:09 Extremely ignorant vibe check is like maybe the path that they're on is going to get a lot of support
66:16 And I've been kind of seeing that with cashy os and like these different types of things
66:20 Um, I don't think if we went back four years ago
66:24 And I'm probably wrong about this in some way
66:30 Manjaro you have a button for that manjaro was arch based. Isn't that right? Is manjaro arch based? No, I don't think so
66:41 Yes, manjaro is arch based Yeah, oh, okay. Um, yep. Thank you. So that that was like a round
66:48 But that was if I You ended up using that, right?
66:53 Yeah, I did. I used manjaro. I forget why I decided to use manjaro, but I
66:57 Ultimately settled on it. So I think that was like, yeah, no, no, okay. Yeah, it's because it's easy arch
67:02 Yeah, or it was yeah, I don't know might still be
67:05 Um, but I I think that was like just kind of starting to become a thing as like that could maybe be used for gaming
67:12 But arch was always just the big spooky side of things Uh, people didn't really want to touch it. I remember
67:17 um People you started talking about the a u r around that time and like it started becoming a little bit more approachable
67:24 And there was manjaro and a couple things like that and these days now it's like
67:27 Oh, it's the gaming thing and cash us is over there and oh steam steam
67:32 Os is built on this thing and gaming focus gaming focus gaming focus
67:35 And I think the other things will kind of follow and I think something in that realm
67:40 Might make it which is why I'm trying to familiarize myself with those things
67:43 Uh instead of just sitting in my comfortable mint
67:47 land forever So the reason the reason I think it's going to be steam os is because um, I
67:56 I believe At this point, um, and I I've just I've seen too much in our in our last Linux challenges and just with
68:06 The the development of open source software in general
68:09 Um, I believe you need a vision for something like an operating system
68:15 I think you need a really strong direction
68:20 And steam os has it and while I do
68:23 absolutely See your point that with their focus on ultimately like let's
68:29 Let's not kid ourselves selling more
68:32 Counter strike gun skins, right? Yeah Like, you know what drives valve at the end of the day
68:38 Um, I can see how you might not have faith that they're going to put the time in the work
68:45 into The other aspects of of the desktop experience
68:51 From talking to the folks there From seeing the direction that they're going from the steam deck, right, which is handheld only it's it's big picture only, right?
69:02 And seeing how much they wanted to talk about
69:05 How much they've improved the desktop experience with the steam machine the fact that one of their demos
69:12 Was with a desktop monitor and the steam machine running in desktop mode
69:18 Um, the fact that like, uh, it was a while back We were trying to get this ancient printer working for a video and that was when I realized that steam os had no
69:28 Built-in support for printers of any sort you had to basically like clutch it in yourself
69:33 Um, since then I believe they do support printers now
69:39 And there would be no do you want to double can can someone double check that for me?
69:43 I'm gonna need a luke. I don't know here, but I I believe that is a thing now
69:48 There is no reason to support
69:52 printers and and the printing stack Out of the box if you don't freaking intend for this to be a desktop operating system
70:01 so to me The the vision that I see
70:05 And the direction that they're going are the strongest and the most cohesive
70:13 And I just don't know. Yes printer support added in steam os 3.6
70:18 And I just
70:22 I see how much money they're putting into making the experience better for gamers
70:27 And I know that gamers are just one specific use case, but they also are a use case that
70:33 Demands high performance that that that tends to be micro influencers
70:41 For their friend groups around them, and I just I see momentum building that way and I I saw a couple comments in the chat
70:46 Yeah, but it's AMD only Valve would love for steam os to be super NVIDIA friendly tomorrow
70:55 but From and this is me putting words in their mouth. No one from valve has told me this
71:00 Any of this I'm I'm assuming that they would love for steam os to be NVIDIA friendly
71:05 And what I'm basing that on is that the original steam machines 10 years ago
71:10 Used invidia cards valve clearly wanted to use invidia at some point
71:15 um But from what I can tell it basically just comes down to vendor cooperation and vendor software support
71:23 Something that torval's mentioned has gotten way better from invidia now that Linux and ai
71:31 and invidia All have a common direction that they're trying to go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Will the gaming hardware follow?
71:40 Yeah, I uh I think it I think it will
71:44 um There's also man There's also like bigger industry trends that we can look at and go okay
71:50 Well does invidia matter that much you could look at their their gaming discrete GPU market share
71:55 What is it 95 percent in the most recent report and go? Yeah. Yeah, it's the only thing that matters
72:01 But like the laptop that i'm running on right now this machine
72:06 Does not have a dedicated GPU and I don't care
72:11 at all Even a little bit i'm using an apu
72:17 But with the performance of the AMD Radeon 80 60 s or whatever the model is graphics in this thing
72:24 I don't care So yeah, if AMD's market share continues to absolutely suck donk on
72:31 discreet But their apu's continue to go the direction that they're going right now where they own the business of sony playstation
72:40 Own the business of microsoft xbox, whatever form that ultimately ends up taking
72:44 Pretty much own the entire gaming handheld space
72:48 and Are shipping these incredible high power GPU
72:53 apu's that are going to start to dominate in laptops or even small form factor desktops like the framework desktop
72:59 investment disclosure I don't know man. Maybe that whole thing that
73:06 I remember AMD first talking about with fusion back shortly after the ati acquisition
73:12 Maybe that whole thing where desktop computers don't need to discreet GPU
73:17 Like becomes a thing gross
73:21 Gross I know you might be right. I know it's still gross though and yet
73:28 And yet I was playing god of war And it was freaking awesome
73:32 On what as a high powered solution. Yes very expensive right now
73:37 But I remind everyone is an integrated GPU icky. What icky integrated graphics dude
73:46 gross
73:49 And yet here we are though No, I hear you I hear you I can accept the reality and still be disgusted by it. There's a lot of that lately
73:57 um Person for sure says I don't want soldered on RAM
74:01 But guess what buddy you already have soldered on RAM the RAM on your GPU is soldered because it needs to run at super high speeds
74:07 We're just using our GPU RAM as also system memory nothing changed just your your perception changed your your perspective changed
74:17 Yeah, that that computer that you stick into your computer that is the graphics card
74:22 That always like really fascinates me
74:25 It really is it's a whole own computer Like if you look at if you look at if you if you really like analyze a whole
74:34 graphics card It has the whole everything
74:38 has everything Everything buddy and like especially the professional grade ones that can do you know virtualization and stuff and that happen and
74:47 that It's Yeah, it's just a computer in your computer. Yeah, it's funny because like in some ways Intel lara b was
74:57 So far ahead of the curve on that where it was general purpose compute that was just hyper hyper parallel and could also be used for graphics
75:06 And it was just a computer But yeah, so much so much for lara b. Yeah
75:11 Have we actually done any topics yet?
75:14 I don't think so this could transfer us into a weird jump if we wanted to to the
75:21 3060 news Oh here here's a good one. Hold on last thing
75:26 On a hiccadge says fun fact The basite devs just updated the website to make the warning for the NVIDIA deck iso
75:35 Which is broken More obnoxious and clearly stated
75:39 Linus's experience has already made Linux better
75:42 I think that's the thing The community zealots are mad the developers if they're smart are looking at this going
75:51 This is free qa. Holy crap
75:54 We should action this so shout out basite for recognizing it for what it is calling something beta in this day and age
76:01 I mean gmail was beta for 10 years calling something beta doesn't mean what it used to
76:06 And honestly the experience that I had on that particular iso for basite was not even the old definition of beta
76:13 That was like alpha or pre alpha. It was completely broken just completely broken
76:19 so I don't know dude
76:24 Yeah, um Where is it?
76:30 Back then it was beta mail now. It's gmail. Thank you chat. You guys are great
76:37 Top okay, here we go This is a potentially short topic, but I did want to transition to it
76:41 Just because we're talking about like what GPU's people are actually using and stuff like that And then we then we can go to what Dan was talking about but NVIDIA reportedly brings back
76:49 production Of the rtx 30 60 to samsung 8 nanometer production samsung is restarting
76:56 Production of their 30 60s discontinued in 2024 on its 8 nanometer node according to korean outlet
77:04 Hank young I'm just going to confidently say that and we'll see how it goes in videos rtx 40 and 50 series
77:12 Both both both run on tsmc's custom 4 nanometer node a 5 nanometer class process
77:18 Because it's all just naming at this point
77:22 That's maxed out producing blackwell gaming and ai chips
77:25 So the old samsung 8 nanometer line can run without cutting into next gen supply
77:31 The move is being driven by a few things at once a GDDR 7 memory shortage is squeezing rtx 50 series supply
77:38 And NVIDIA's high-end ai chips face an uncertain and shifting regulatory
77:43 congressional restrictions in terms of shipping to china and doing all this weird stuff the older rtx
77:49 30 60 side steps
77:53 Pretty much all of that Since it falls outside of the restricted categories entirely
77:57 It's still unclear whether the returning card will be on the 12 gig original or the cut down 8 gig variant
78:04 But one of the really really cool side effects of this is people who currently have
78:10 A 30 60 or potentially just 3000 series GPU in general will probably have elongated driver support because of this
78:17 Which is really cool because those cards
78:21 Still kind of ripped still pretty based. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so like if you're still running at 30 60 because hey, why not?
78:29 I mean, there's a ton of people still asking for a few more years out of their 1080s and 1080 ti's
78:35 So i'm sure there's a ton of people still running 30 60s
78:39 Then sick you're gonna have a lot more driver support. There's so many games coming out that really don't need much more power
78:47 I'm sure 30 60s run something like arc raiders. No problem
78:51 With that said If some of the rumors that i've seen about the next generation xbox or anything to go by and also the playstation 6
78:59 Don't forget that we're at the end of a cycle right now
79:03 We're at the end of a console cycle and there's always a leap once the dev kits for ps6 and xbox
79:09 Whatever they end up calling it start to roll out to developers. We are going to start to see next generation games
79:16 Hit development We're also going to continue to see live service games that continually get their graphics updated like wow
79:24 Um that are gonna keep moving forward And so we shouldn't get we shouldn't necessarily go. Okay. Well, you know a 30 60 ought to be enough for everyone kind of thing
79:33 But right now I 100 percent agree. I was actually I was gaming on a 30 60 recently for some reason. What was it?
79:41 Oh, right. I remember we did um the brazilian pc
79:45 Right, that's I I think actually up on Floatplane right now. You guys can watch it
79:50 um We ordered PCs from brazil
79:53 Which tends to be a couple of generations behind because it turns out that import tariffs are actually a really great
80:00 Way to make everything way more expensive for people who want to buy stuff. That's not a political statement. That's just math
80:07 Um and math is math. I don't make the rules about it So so we did the brazil pc and I was gaming on a 30 60 and I was playing freaking cyberpunk and I was like
80:17 Holy crap. Is dlss ever like good these days and I'm having a pretty darn good experience right now
80:24 like What? Yeah
80:28 30 60 is still a pretty freaking awesome. It's a sick car. So if we're gonna get more driver support out of this
80:33 That's just like I didn't even really think immediately about like
80:37 What I would call like a restricted market like brazil kind of is
80:41 Um where this is going to help them even more and that's awesome. Um
80:46 Yeah, so I just thought this was honestly kind of it's it's
80:51 I could see people taking this negative news I'm just going to decide to take it as good news because hey
80:56 We could use one of those and I like the idea of the driver support extending, but yeah
81:01 I think this is great news. Is that a controversial take?
81:05 No, I just I'm just kind of sitting here thinking like someone might see it as negative because this means that they're not necessarily
81:12 increasing Like they're not increasing capacity and getting out more like 50 series cards
81:19 Uh, which means that they'll be maintaining the price of those cards
81:24 I've wondered for years now why
81:27 The the low end one isn't just the last gen one and for a long time that wasn't feasible
81:33 Because the old nodes The gp the dies would be so big that the cost just doesn't make any sense
81:41 But for years now you've had everyone Intel NVIDIA AMD talking about how well the new product is just more expensive
81:49 Because yes, we can make a better one because of the die shrink
81:52 But but it costs so much more to manufacture that there isn't really like a cost benefit and I was like, okay
81:59 Well, then why don't you just make You know bigger bigger dies on the older node of your last gen card and just keep printing them
82:05 And that can be your low end like I'm I'm super like dude
82:09 If NVIDIA wanted to make more than just 30 60s if they wanted to make 30 70s
82:13 I'd be super down for that too. Bring it bring it on like
82:16 What is the AI card a lot of people try to go for 30 90s
82:21 Oh, yeah, people still love 30 90s 24 gigs that wouldn't make any sense though
82:26 Just because of how much RAM you're putting I know and
82:29 It's just too much GPU To make for how much RAM you have to put on it for how much performance and how much power consumption you're gonna get
82:36 Yeah, and again, I've got I've got people in chat yelling at me. I'm not saying
82:41 Relax, I'm not saying I think it's negative news. I said repeatedly that I think it's positive news
82:47 I was just saying that some people might think I'm getting I'm getting that angle right now
82:52 It's a tube of meat. It's seasoned
82:55 I prefer on the grill and I prefer flat meat comes off delicious. I'm gonna come out saying I prefer flat meat
83:01 So much colon cancer, but that's later. My meat should be flat and circular
83:07 So not health advice not health advice
83:13 Really
83:16 Okay more information than I wanted
83:22 Ah I was just saying like a shift of direction. I know it's a different process node. I know it's different
83:29 Manufacturing I know it's going back to Samsung. It's not using the five nanometer. We literally just talked about that
83:34 I know that's a thing. It's like attention pulling away. It's not potentially increasing whatever bubble, but it's still like
83:42 It's not an argument. I even agree with I was just saying that I could see some people trying to take that angle. Okay, so chill
83:49 The circular meat is fine Tube tube meat is fine
83:56 Anyways Dan CW things or something give me out of here. Uh, yeah, you've blown blast more topics you've blown blast comms
84:03 Why don't we do the CW announcement and a couple comms?
84:08 All right, hey Creator warehouses ambitions of being more than just the you know
84:16 merchandise ARM of Linus media group are
84:20 Coming to fruition here L's and G's because the blanks collection is expanding
84:26 Luke if anyone's gonna screen share it's gonna have to be it's up way ahead of you. What a guy
84:32 What a freaking guy We are now showing off our blank zip-up hoodie, which is designed for easy layering while keeping that clean
84:42 Minimal look it's available in black and dusty olive and is made from the same 100
84:49 Terry cotton as our classic blank hoodies and we're also introducing a blank hoodie that is not zip-up in dusty olive
84:58 You can complete the set with our new blank sweatpants available in also black and dusty olive
85:04 These are great for lounging the gym or quick errands
85:07 And they match nicely with our other tops and hoodies even older colors that you might already have
85:13 Visit LMG.gg slash blanks to shop the collection
85:17 And hey if you happen to be another creator who has some kind of interest in working with us
85:23 But you're not that interested in having LTT branding all over the stuff that you have
85:28 You know, hey there. What about what about creator warehouse branding that seems perfectly
85:35 Not LTT
85:39 Nice Dig dug says blank is pointless
85:45 I mean I prefer it a lot actually and like lots of people do there's tons of people that don't want to wear
85:51 Brand logos and like I I think our brand logos are subtle enough that it's totally fine
85:55 And there's sometimes where I do kind of like brand logos. I don't know I go back and forth
85:58 But this looks kind of sharp to me. It's subtle. It's understated. It looks nice. It works. It works good. I've I've had
86:07 Multiple people tell me and this blew my flipping mind
86:11 I've had multiple people tell me that they would buy the commuter bag if only it didn't have the LTT branding on it
86:17 Can you just I was like De-stitcher that bro
86:21 It's one centimeter by one centimeter black on black
86:25 What are you even talking about? But there are people who are so
86:30 Um, how do I put this?
86:34 Uh Very set on a particular
86:40 Mindset goal That they just so many full plane chat said you cannot free your point is mute
86:47 Yeah, except I've bought blanks that weren't from us before so my point is not mute
86:51 Um, it is it is generally good. Oh, I'm so triggered right now even if someone M. O. O. T
86:57 M. O. O. T. Moot not mute M. U. T. E. Yeah, no idea. Um
87:03 I uh As someone who isn't even that good at fashion stuff
87:08 At all Not even sort of nice something that the people who are good at the fashion stuff have told me is that I should have more blank things
87:15 Because I always just had like Uh convention shirts. Oh god, basically I had 100 of my wardrobe for a long years
87:23 Was convention shirts and then fashion people were like, hey
87:27 You should probably just have like a plain white T and a plain black T
87:32 And like a couple other colors and then those can go with whatever and then you'd look a lot more presentable in a lot more scenarios
87:38 and I was like Oh
87:42 That that was like part of growing up
87:45 It was like I'm an adult now. I need to not have like the equivalent of band shirts, but for technology or games
87:51 Um And like those are still cool. I still wear those but there's time and place for things
87:58 And sometimes it's not up to people. Uh brumby in Floatplane chat says yeah
88:02 I had to unstitch the logos off of my LTT cargo pants in order to meet work policies
88:07 Sometimes you're you're not allowed to wear stuff. Um
88:12 Totally get it
88:15 And look, I totally understand the perspective too of uh, uh, who is it?
88:20 Book horse says don't want to be a walking advertisement. Don't want to be a consumer
88:25 And totally get that too. Um
88:28 But I don't I don't personally consider A one centimeter by one centimeter black on black logo on an entire backpack to be
88:38 Consumer level branding walking advertisement. That's
88:42 Like come on. What do you even what are you what are you even talking about buddy?
88:47 like I I don't know man But either way either way we're we're doing our you know, we're doing our part
88:55 We're making unbranded stuff. So now all you have to do is do your part and buy it and then we can keep making it
89:01 Yeah, and if you don't want a blank tease that's totally fine. I didn't want blank teas for a long time
89:08 It's but they obviously very obviously have a utility
89:17 Hold on I have an idea
89:20 What are you doing now? What are you doing now? Yeah, that's your shirt
89:27 Spanky says I'd love creator warehouse to offer some self branding stuff
89:31 I'd probably buy 100 to 200 pens or pencils if I could change the logo to our companies
89:38 It is the kind of thing that we could do but for 100 units that would be really tough
89:44 And it all just depends on how it's done. Um, like whether it's uh, if it's a mold
89:51 It's just not feasible for small amounts of units
89:55 Like I think if someone ordered thousands of screwdrivers from us We could talk about changing the logo for like the plastic screwdriver for something like pens
90:03 I don't want to put any words in the cw team's mouth But I think it would have to be at least hundreds before we'd be able to look at a logo change
90:10 It just it depends on it depends on our suppliers. It depends on lead times
90:14 It depends on, you know, how much you're willing to pay for the customization, but hey, it never hurts to reach out
90:18 Sorry Luke, what were you gonna say? Uh, my google search ended up working
90:23 I I tried to like pull a gambit where I googled
90:26 Attractive man and then I realized that they were all wearing dress shirts
90:30 And I was like that didn't work So I tried attractive man wearing a t-shirt and I wanted to be like look they're all wearing blank t-shirts
90:36 Uh, and then even searching attractive man wearing a t-shirt only brought up dudes wearing
90:42 Button-ups. I was like, what the hell that should tell you enough, shouldn't it?
90:47 It did a little bit. I was like dang, okay, I guess Luke. We just got told
90:52 I think so
90:55 It didn't work at all
90:58 Good thing we sell pretty brandless button-ups
91:03 I mean, maybe we did did we get rid of them? I don't know wait
91:07 I got to work this time and I'm totally right. They're all
91:11 They're all blank Every single one of them is blank
91:16 All of them are blank. Okay. There's one
91:20 One Two with upload your image here that I don't think that counts
91:25 Almost all blank tees. Yep. There's a there's a few that aren't but they're almost all blank tees. So yeah
91:32 What up? I don't know fashion things but fashion people told me and apparently fashion people were right
91:37 Surprise surprise resale white but for shirts
91:40 Okay, Dan, you're gonna have to guide us a little bit here because we're clearly not I can't see your signs
91:46 I'm trying like Luke's ignoring me
91:50 Cool You're gonna plug whale land or just
91:54 Okay, you said it's a hell too didn't you? No. Oh, it was just me. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, let's do whale land
91:59 We have We have locked in the dates for the next whale land. It's gonna be on may 23rd and 24th
92:08 By oc tickets. So that is bring your own computer tickets are going to be starting at $80 canadian
92:14 So what's that work out to about 60 us dollars like 55 60 us dollars?
92:19 And there will be a limited number of whale vip tickets for $5,000 canadian
92:27 VIPs will get obviously their ticket to the event but also
92:31 A high-powered custom built gaming pc to game on a prismagic screwdriver a lightweight packable jacket a premium
92:38 And a studio plus Labs tour ticket sales will start this coming monday at noon Pacific whale land dot com
92:46 And we will see you there
92:49 Luke how are those dates looking for you? Hopefully. Oh, yeah. No, I think so. I think I'm like just generally gonna be at whale lands
92:58 May 23rd 24th may yeah when is comfy jacks?
93:04 Uh not may 23rd and 24th
93:07 I think it'll be shortly afterward
93:12 Whoa, it's like what immediately afterward later
93:18 Yeah, uh, it's all just a week later. I'll just well normally I go a week early
93:23 So maybe I'll just oh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll just come back a week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just fine. I've done that too
93:30 Yeah, yeah, that's good to know though. I'm happy we just figured that out
93:35 Uh, but yeah, I mean I'm intending it. Uh, I'm intending to generally be attending
93:42 Yeah, all right, sounds good Yeah, let's get another topic in here another topic. Yeah, look at that Intel's new CPU's are their
93:51 fastest gaming desktop processors ever and there was once upon a time a time when I would have said
93:58 Wow, the new water is wetter than ever
94:02 To in response to that But in fact, um Intel did have a generation of desktop CPU's that
94:10 In fact were not their fastest gaming CPU's ever so we can't take that for granted
94:16 So this is good news everyone
94:19 Intel is super bullish on the recently announced Intel core ultra 7 270 k plus
94:26 and core ultra 5 250 k plus
94:30 These new chips offer four additional e-cores or efficiency cores compared to their
94:37 Their direct predecessors have faster clock speeds and this has got to be a really big one here
94:43 Have significantly improved die to die frequency over their predecessors the 265 k and 245 k
94:51 This translates to support for 70 200 megatransfer per second RAM as if anyone can afford that these days
94:58 And early support for four rank cu dim modules again as if anyone could afford those but
95:06 Cool cool cool beans Intel appreciate you
95:11 Notably these improvements were achieved without Intel increasing the chips 125 watt TDP
95:17 The ultra 7 270 k plus features 8 p cores and 16 e-cores which actually matches the core count of the flagship
95:25 core ultra 9 295 k
95:28 um Okay, and it is also worth noting that while the 295 k was and in fact the whole lineup of core ultra 200 series was criticized
95:38 For uncompetitive pricing and lower gaming performance
95:42 Over time they have improved
95:45 Pricing has gotten lower And these new refreshed aero lake CPU's are apparently looking to deliver up to a 13 gaming increase
95:55 Over their predecessors while coming in at very similar pricing
96:00 So the 250 k plus is going to be starting from 199
96:05 With the uh 270 k plus starting from uh, this says to 199, but i believe it's 2 99. Yeah, uh, starting from
96:14 2 99 so Cheap
96:18 no But a 200 chip that Intel claims
96:24 Is faster than the 9600 x from AMD
96:28 um Comes with that many flipping cores
96:33 Like yes, some of them are e-cores, but these Intel uh hybrid
96:37 Uh p-core e-core chips tend to be great for non gaming as well
96:42 Not to mention all of the gaming improvements Man that seems like
96:48 It seems like a pretty compelling value And it's not just hardware where Intel is trying to make gains
96:53 Like NVIDIA, they've realized if you can't win with better fabrication
96:57 Then you can take the fight to software except NVIDIA also has been using cutting edge fabrication
97:02 But yeah, whatever the point is Intel binary optimization tool will be part of their Intel application optimization software package
97:09 And is touted as a first of its kind optimization technology hoping to increase
97:15 Instructions per clock in certain games by leveraging Intel compiler and profiling ip to streamline library and executable performance
97:22 Now i remember a time not that long ago when we considered that kind of optimization to be like cheating
97:30 um, and using sort of using non-standard
97:34 Uh compilers in order to get a performance benefit compared to your competition and now they're just playing the game
97:41 We live in a very very different world. Um
97:46 You know remember when remember when making changes to the rendering pipeline on a GPU was cheating
97:51 And now that's like NVIDIA's headline feature for their latest GPU's is all the changes that they make to the rendering
97:57 pipeline with ai and whatnot and
98:00 honestly This implementation sounds very different from the old cheaty way where they would um allegedly
98:09 Coerce companies into using their tools that benefited their cpus. It sounds like what's happening here is
98:18 They're taking scattered instructions from code that might be optimized for older architectures and repacking them to reduce architectural contention
98:25 and it sounds like It won't have a negative impact on the competition. It will just perform better on Intel, which maybe is better than it used to be before
98:38 Anyone been around long enough to know if that sounds about right
98:42 Anyway, we don't know how well it's going to work until we can try out their, uh, apo software in our upcoming review, but
98:50 It seems like from everything that we're seeing communication wise out of Intel. They are extremely bullish
98:58 Yeah on these which I
99:01 would hope so
99:05 So hopefully we're hopefully we're happy about the results
99:09 You can hope but like Last time around hope didn't really get us anywhere. Hope's all we can have brother. Nothing else is worth it
99:17 Yeah, nothing else is worth it despair is not worth it. It doesn't help you
99:22 Anyways, uh Thank you. Do you have any supplements to sell me?
99:27 Uh, yeah, I've got a lot of peptides I whatever whatever peptide you want. Tell me your problem and i'll come up with a
99:35 Yeah, we should probably stop talking
99:39 Jeez
99:47 Whatever your element i'll have a pill Um, okay, what do we want to do google's killing the place for monopoly. That's fun. Uh by june 30th developers
99:57 You know what? No, hold on. Hold on. We can get to that in a second. First. I want to talk
100:00 I had to have the uh, I had to have the snake oil folk medicine conversation with my eldest daughter on this trip
100:08 Um, they they all got 20 dollars 20 canadian dollars for a souvenir
100:14 um budget And uh, she picked out this little it's like a little woven mat and it has a little cat on it
100:23 It's cute. It's a cat on a mat. Whatever. Sure. Um, anyway, the the seller lady
100:28 um Was super determined to talk about the air purification and and health benefits of this little
100:38 stuffy cat on uh on a little woven mat and um
100:43 And kept talking about activated charcoal and I kind of went uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
100:48 And then I had to have the conversation with my daughter after the fact where I go, okay
100:53 So this is the most dangerous type of hook em
100:58 where There is a grain of truth
101:03 Upon which a tower of lies and misunderstandings is built
101:09 Does activated charcoal have odor reduction qualities?
101:15 Yes. Yeah, totally However
101:18 Only if we are actively running air through it not if it's just
101:24 Sitting there on your dresser And we need to have a way to either swap out the you're gonna gut that fake cat activated charcoal
101:34 Or we have to have a way of removing it and putting it out in the sun to reactivate it
101:39 Neither of those things are true. It's just
101:43 activated charcoal In a pillow
101:46 That just sits there and has no way to replace it or recharge it. And so we just need to you know
101:54 learn To I read this really interesting article on the atlantic earlier this week about how
102:01 Western society has a major problem
102:05 with both gullibility and cynicism and being
102:10 gullible to the wrong things and cynical about
102:14 The wrong things. How can you be so gullible and so?
102:19 Accepting of anything that's that someone tells you no matter how ridiculous it sounds and at the same time
102:27 So cynical and disbelieving of
102:31 Of experts and there's a there's a lot of like super super deep reasons for it that the article only
102:37 skims the surface of but um
102:40 It's it's fascinating and it's something that has sort of been on my mind as something that we really have to
102:47 flag Flag with our kids and talk about, you know, how to navigate your way through you should be cynical
102:56 And you should believe people
102:59 But you've got to make sure that you're cynical of the right things and you believe the right people
103:03 Otherwise, you're going to end up in in deep trouble. Like one of the things the article touched on is how
103:10 Smart people, you know, let's not just be dismissive and say well anyone who believes in something stupid is too stupid
103:16 Not that simple Smart people who live in a bubble who live in an information echo chamber can end up believing some
103:24 Some some some shockingly It's like the the desire to for something to be true can also influence how much you believe that it is true and like
103:35 Yeah, life is floating jumping in with hey these fries would be like super healthy
103:40 And you could eat as many as you want if if only they were fried in beef tallow instead of ooh scary seed oils
103:46 It's like Yeah, I yeah, you know if I just wanted to like enjoy french fries. I might love to believe that I can ignore
103:54 It tastes amazing Not gonna deny it tastes good, but that ain't what we're talking about. Totally. Yeah. Yeah
104:01 Yeah, Errol does says I work around so many brilliant people in tech and some of them
104:07 Believe the silliest scams and wee woo things. Yeah
104:10 100% Oh, no, everyone's like piping up with
104:15 Piping up with their stuff Uh
104:19 Magnetic flux my grandma thinks vegan burgers make people gay. No. No. No. See that's correlation not causation
104:29 This is is joke
104:33 I love me a good vegan burger wait. Oh, no, this is my mouse. Wait a minute
104:43 It turns the freaking youtubers
104:47 Oh
104:53 Man Apparently there's an xkcd for this of course there is I think there is for everything
105:02 Um Oh, okay. No, it's not that good. I'm normal to be clear love xkcd
105:09 Um, I didn't didn't personally appreciate that one that much. All right
105:15 I guess I'll do another topic. Oh, yeah, right. You were gonna do the thing
105:21 So wait, sorry. I'm doing one thing The topic
105:25 Which oh good. Yeah by june 30th developers in the us uk and the european economic area
105:32 Okay, uh, we'll see the stand. We'll see the standard 30 percent in-app purchases fee
105:37 On the google play store dropped to 20 percent for the first time
105:42 Sorry for first time installs of apps after the new fees launch recurring subscription service fees will drop to 10 percent
105:50 furthermore google is introducing a new business model intended to decouple the fees
105:56 By separating the cost of their billing system from the service fee
106:00 Developers that opt into google play's billing system in the us uk or europe will have to fork over an additional 5 percent
106:08 However, mobile developers will Officially have the option to use their own billing system alongside or in place of google's
106:16 In rolling into google's new apps experience program will drop the service fee to 15 percent for new installs
106:24 The rollout will gradually hit australia japan and korea by the end of the year and the rest of the world late
106:30 2027 apart from cutting fees google is also launching a registered app store
106:36 Program thing that will streamline the process for third-party app stores like epic games as long as they meet certain quality benchmarks
106:44 So it's an app store for app stores Hold on a minute
106:49 No, no, no, no, it's not a store for app stores, but you can have an app store program quality benchmarks
106:56 So you'll you'll work with google to have like an epic games app store on
107:02 on Android Okay
107:06 Sure I don't know what I think about that, but all right, uh more topics. I guess maybe
107:13 Oh, I mean I I can can we it's full payment sponsors
107:18 Can we shout out what can we shout out a guy who I don't always agree with but who I I got a shout out here
107:24 um Who else would have had the balls to go toe to toe with apple and google and force this change, but epic games is tim sweeney
107:33 I uh Yeah
107:37 Oh, man, this is another one of those ones where at the time I took a ton of flak for just being like
107:44 Yeah, obviously the app store and the play store are a huge antitrust problem and the fact that people are pretending
107:51 they can't see it is just corporate boot liqoury of the highest order and
107:58 Especially apple people were like You know what the app store to pee we like the iphone the way it is. We love the taste of leather. It's so good
108:09 um And other things. Yeah, no this was it was like just objective a thing vegetable and bean burgers
108:18 It was it was it was a it was definitely a thing
108:21 and and and courts and and google
108:25 And apple all know everybody knows
108:29 It was just a matter of time until you could figure it out. And uh, this is great
108:34 I'm um I'm I'm very
108:38 Very very excited. Uh, eroldo says I refuse to accept the hypocrisy of simping for steam
108:46 That's the thing and again, this is this is like you need to you need to read more
108:53 Steam has things about it that
108:57 Where they where valve leverages their quite dominant position
109:02 But they are not in fact a monopoly because they just like aren't
109:09 because You're not bound to use steam in any way. You can go on go g you can go on epic games
109:17 You can go anywhere you want and you can download a game for any platform where you can also
109:23 Get that game on steam it is
109:27 and steam Unlike the app store and the google play store is not owned by the platform owner
109:35 That's why it just isn't the same thing
109:38 At all and i'm sorry, but I can't be the one to explain it to you. You're going to have to go and just
109:44 Learn more about monopolistic behavior and anti competitive laws and stuff
109:51 cool
109:54 Shall we do the Floatplane announcement and do it spongers?
110:01 Uh, yeah Floatplane announcement. Let's do it. Where is it?
110:05 We all have an embarrassing tech store. You're too so riley sought out some embarrassing moments from members
110:13 of the LMG team it features elijah who admitted to
110:18 a crime adam who blew out his partner's ears
110:24 with music that was too loud and james who bought a laptop that cost
110:31 $2,300 at the time just to play team fortress 2
110:38 That's a yikes But where is david you might ask?
110:44 No one ever asked. How is david? Oh, it's okay. I I did the delivery on that totally wrong anyway
110:50 His setup from five years ago the point is david showcased a setup and how much it's changed from his original
110:56 Ultimate tech upgrade. Uh, he's got his man cave upgrade in there and shows what it looks like today
111:01 Also, if you are from brazil or think brazil is cool or you don't understand tariffs and you want to understand tariffs better
111:08 And how they can be like really bad for consumers. Uh, you might want to check out the early release
111:14 Um, luke are you are you showing any of this? Yeah, we're gonna keep going. Oh, yeah, there you go
111:20 Tariffs tariffs tariffs All of this and more at LMG dot gg slash f p
111:27 when cool
111:35 Now for some sponsors
111:39 Hold on. Hold on. Give me a second lozer says Linus valve and steam is creating that environment with steam os with the
111:45 With the ownership of the platform and that
111:50 You're trying so hard to make this a thing
111:53 But it still isn't because steam os still
111:57 totally supports other app stores
112:00 with valve taking absolutely Count them zero dollars and having zero involvement
112:07 In that transaction. So it's still
112:11 Completely not the same thing I'm sorry, but no amount of trying to make steam
112:17 The same thing as the app store and the google play store is going to make it the same thing
112:21 Because it's just not the same thing and it's just not going to work
112:25 Steam could be compared to one of the app stores that is now allowed to potentially be on there
112:30 Yep, totally. And if one of them had an extremely dominant position
112:36 That enabled them to do certain things that that could be anti-competitive
112:41 Then we could draw a parallel there because valve does have an opportunity to do certain things that can be anti-competitive
112:48 but one of those things is not the thing that
112:52 Tim Sweeney was complaining about with the app store and iOS and the tight integration and control
112:58 over transactions and payments and the availability of apps for the platform
113:03 they're just Not the same thing
113:07 Magic cheeseburger says I agree with you. It's not about agreement. It's about like this is a fact that it just is a thing
113:16 But if you delete steam if you leave steam you lose all your games forever. Yes
113:22 Yes, you do, but that is nothing to do with what we're talking about. Cool, dude
113:28 All right Oh, man
113:32 I don't know do I you know, I think part of it. Luke. I think one of the big challenges we have is that you and I watch every WAN Show
113:39 And most viewers don't So all I don't watch every WAN Show
113:44 Well, no, I just read the comments there for it though. Oh my god. So
113:49 So we end up in this situation Oh
113:53 Why are you so why are you so down on Linux and you never criticize Windows and it's like
113:58 She's like so the previous show's title Could literally be you know Windows is cooked, you know, yeah, I can point about all the time
114:08 Their own exposure bias Is that all they see and hear is the thing that's making them emotional right now? Yeah, it's like guys
114:16 We criticize steam and valve all the time
114:20 Windows is becoming like
114:23 Very very rapidly terrible. I I had this whole thing where like I was getting really nostalgic
114:29 About old Windows. Actually. I was thinking back to like how much I just really enjoyed
114:36 Using Windows xp and I know people go if you go back now. It's it's terrible. It's like, yeah, that's cool for the time it was
114:44 Amazing and then you look at vista was based and it's like a lot of people have terrible memories of vista
114:51 Because they bought a laptop from best buy with 512 megs of RAM and tried to run vista on it and that was terrible
114:59 Terrible terrible terrible, but when I had some better hardware and especially when I had a custom version of vista, dude
115:05 Vista black edition was so
115:08 Sick, it was amazing. I loved using vista
115:11 Especially late in the game when I had better hardware and especially a custom version
115:14 But I still really actually liked using vista arrow looked amazing. It just couldn't run on your crappy laptop
115:20 Okay, and then seven came out and seven was
115:24 Amazing again people keep talking about this like oh, it's good and then bad and the good and bad
115:28 In my opinion not really it was kind of just good and then the hardware wasn't ready and then good
115:33 Um, like vista was actually fantastic like printers printer compatibility on vista was a nightmare
115:41 Yeah um Then then we get eight and eight out of the gate
115:46 was To use the young people's probably out of date term by this point dog water
115:52 But 8.1 came out and with a little time with a little bit of
115:57 Time in the marinade 8.1 was actually really solid
116:01 Especially if you got the the Windows 9 thing and got the custom version all that kind of stuff
116:05 Fantastic and then we hit Windows 10 and it was like ooh now
116:10 Now It's still edible
116:15 But something's wrong with it I don't necessarily know what it is. There's still Windows all my stuff still kind of works
116:21 You left the sticker on when you were eating it. Yeah
116:24 Something's just okay, and then Windows 11 came out and then it was like okay. No like this for sure still works
116:30 But is clearly Bad for me like something something is not good. Have they fixed 11 yet? I am being food poisoned
116:40 And then I think with looking at 12 on the horizon like it's just we were doing this thing, right?
116:44 We're like they'd stumble a little like amazing launch
116:48 Maybe a little bit of a stumble because of hardware, but then amazing
116:51 Just amazing and then really troublesome launch
116:54 But then they totally fixed it and then now we're just literally just doing this and it feels terrible
117:00 And you can jump off the ship Early and maybe have some troubles trying to learn Linux
117:06 Um and maybe come back to Windows Who knows but gain a little bit of familiarity or you can jump off later when it's like just death or or I don't know
117:14 Or microsoft will maybe but I doubt it actually listen to some people and stop just doing this with their operating system
117:22 which By god, I will I will volunteer. I expect best nothing
117:27 You never you never even have to admit that I helped you I require no compensation
117:32 I will tell you all of the things you need to do to make it not garbage anymore. No problem
117:38 I am yours to be resourced
117:41 But you won't do it down You know what? You know what? Yeah, Linus will come with me. We'll figure it out
117:47 If you want Windows 12 to be like the ai operating system
117:51 I think this is still possible. You can still accomplish that goal and still make it not complete crap
117:57 I like You can do it
118:01 I I don't believe you're going to but you totally I know a lot of people
118:05 I know a lot of people are are are are just sort of like
118:11 Reflexively against anything that has ai of any sort involved in it
118:16 I'm not I actually agree with you that Windows 12 could be could have could have ai as a central part of the experience
118:26 And all they need to do to make that palatable to everyone who doesn't want it
118:31 I bet you were gonna say the same thing make it so i can remove it. Yep done
118:36 It's be able to turn it off be able to remove it make it modular
118:40 So I could plug my own in make it so I could make it have it so that
118:44 Make it so the first time I press the co-pilot button it goes
118:47 Hey, I'm co-pilot. Do you want me to rebind this button to something else?
118:52 But Right now I do this what an idea
118:55 Do you want it? It can also do this other thing or like I like I would I would love it
119:00 If they built these systems where it can work with your computer in really good ways and then
119:05 I could be like right But I don't want it phoning home to microsoft all the time and literally screen recording everything
119:11 I do and putting in your server farm just for someone else to steal it So I would like to use my own resources run some stuff locally and then be able to just plug my own thing in
119:18 And it still has those capabilities that would be awesome. You could make a really really cool Windows 12
119:25 I don't believe you're going to so i'm trying to jump off the ship early, but man
119:29 I will help you for free. I will put in time. I'll put in hours. You don't have to tell anyone. You don't have to compensate me
119:35 Please it's too bad because they are doing some stuff that is pretty cool
119:41 Um, I I left my I left my rg ally
119:44 On our last trip. I'm getting it back. I did find it. So that's cool
119:48 But on our trip down to zero trust world. I left my ally. So I I grabbed a handheld to bring on this trip and
119:57 Ultimately didn't end up needing it like I said Linux challenge and I'm using my laptop for gaming right now
120:03 But it had the it had the new the new gaming optimized Windows on it
120:09 and It's it's pretty cool
120:12 The the xbox interface on the on the rog ally x series x or whatever the stupid thing is called
120:19 it's like legitimately Pretty cool and the RAM usage is way lower like
120:25 Microsoft is putting in work. They're optimizing stuff
120:29 They just have to not be at the same time
120:34 Breaking things and moving the user experience backwards like dude
120:38 You were talking about the CPU usage issues that you're having over there right now, right? Yeah
120:43 Okay, do you want to know what my CPU usage is right now?
120:47 Yeah, what? It's hovering between about three and a half
120:52 to Four and a half five percent. What's your memory? And that's with that's with everything
120:59 I'm doing right now. So I have the live stream running. I have the chat open
121:04 I have the separate window where I have
121:08 The the call running I have that app for my phone capture
121:14 So I have wi-fi up the butt because I'm also
121:18 I couldn't get the wired connection working for my my phone as my webcam
121:22 So I have all that data streaming in
121:25 And I'm sitting at a handful of percent now
121:29 I do have a lot of RAM use But I think that's just because when a soos sent this laptop to me
121:36 They sent me like a fully loaded version, which is honestly crazy given the current situation
121:41 I have 128 gigs of RAM in this machine So I'm using 12 gigs of RAM
121:46 But when I look at my applications I am sitting at a total of under two gigs
121:52 So I think that's probably just
121:56 the os just caching
121:59 everything so so mine I have chrome open with admittedly
122:06 Three flow plane tabs one google sheet one google search the steam hardware survey and the LTT Store
122:13 Um, I have one notepad open with one page on it and I have the task manager open and that's it
122:21 I'm hovering between 15 and 20 CPU usage
122:25 I'm at 52 percent memory usage and usually around five to ten percent disc because the Windows module installer worker is still just
122:35 Rip it. It hasn't it hasn't stopped once
122:39 It's still the number one process. It has constantly been the number one process
122:43 The next one is like a Windows event log. I just that just went down. It kind of jumps up and down all the time
122:49 Um, and now I I talked about this when we recorded this before the show
122:53 We do have sentinel one running. We do have ninja rmm running
122:57 Those are in there. Those are never like the number one through five
123:01 But they are floating around so it's like there are there is some stuff that we installed running in the background, but
123:08 All my Linux desktop back at home there are there's things running I have stuff I have been using it as a desktop for a while. This happens when you have a system, you know
123:17 um It's just I mean like chrome is like usually like five to eight in the in the top processes like
123:27 And this thing, uh, it's it's mostly calmed down now before on camera without touching it
123:32 We saw it spiked to like 75 CPU usage and it wasn't sentinel one or any of those other things
123:38 Uh, I mean threat lockers also on here. It's just not showing up in like, uh, a highly like a super heavy process compared to these other ones right now
123:47 um Comparatively like recall is recall is part of it
123:53 Oh god the recall preview the recall preview. It probably sneaked its way back in
123:58 Yeah, I neutered those before I deployed them. You can I'm sure Dan can see it on my screen now recall sitting right there
124:04 I'm looking at mine. I'm sitting at 50 CPU usage with a cool 42 gigs of memory usage. Yeah, but you're well
124:10 Yeah, but you're handling this I'm so much better than you guys
124:15 It's not fair. My Ferrari is so much faster than your bicycle
124:21 I'm just a better person
124:25 Yeah
124:28 All right, I think we're supposed to do sponsors now. I can't believe recalls there
124:32 I I know that Dan killed it too. I must have snuck its way back in this is like
124:37 This is what i'm talking about dude get out of here
124:40 I'm gonna do another pass and rip out more of its brain
124:43 The recall preview. I learned how to neuter Windows 11. So i'm a little happier with it now
124:48 Did I restore your right click menus on the desktop? I can't remember if I did that on those ones or not
124:55 I did I would have noticed if my right click wasn't working that would have made me extremely angry. Yeah
125:02 What the the new menu? All right. Yeah, the show is brought to you today by vessie

127:59 Okay, let's get some more on here people
128:03 No, I want to know what's going on The chat's going pocopia
128:08 Did I say it wrong? No. No. Is it pocopia? No, uh, it was an image on screen. Don't worry about it too much
128:15 Uh, I did notice uh based factor meals a lot of them were were
128:20 Chicken some simple carb like rice and then
128:24 Then a vegetable
128:38 Don't forget your flat meat then there was like three or four different ones and I was like, yeah
128:43 Yeah Flat meat is critical. There was like the chicken rice and asparagus. There was like the chicken
128:52 Uh, I think there's like rice and corn and some type of broccoli or something and it's just like
128:58 Chicken simple carb plus green. Yes. Very good. Um
129:03 All right, should we talk about Linux hacked onto a ps5 effectively turning sony's console into a steam machine
129:11 security engineer andy new yin Successfully ported Linux to a ps5 slim by bypassing sony's hypervisor using an exploit called
129:20 Bi-pervisor, which has got to be the best name of an exploit. I've heard in like so long
129:26 Bi-pervisor is so good
129:29 It grants kernel level control and allows unsigned code to run the hack required firmware version 1.0 to 2.0
129:37 Though which is about five years old. So if you've been keeping your playstation up to date
129:41 This isn't really going to be a thing for you. However, once you got it running it
129:46 Was kind of awesome The modded console could run gta 5 enhanced edition via steam at 1440p 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled
129:56 And because it's a ps5 supports 4k HDMI output audio and even had all the usb ports running
130:02 The CPU runs at 3.2 gigahertz and GPU at 2 gigahertz with boost capabilities, although it did start overheating at higher clock speeds
130:11 sony actually used to allow something similar on the playstation
130:15 My notes say the ps3 had the other os feature and if you go back even farther
130:20 You could just get a Linux disk that you could put in your playstation and run Linux on it
130:25 When we did our i bought every playstation video. We actually showed it
130:29 um But they don't allow it anymore, but apparently nothing would prevent it
130:35 And it would honestly in my humble opinion luke
130:40 be The best Solution right now for really really cool considering you can run ps5 games. That's so sick
130:48 I used Yeah, I used ps5 that could dual boot sony's playstation operating system
130:56 And Linux to just like run steam
130:59 would be The goat gaming machine for that price like killer super super super cool
131:09 Our discussion question here is with sony rumored to be pulling back from pc releases
131:15 Does a hack like this hint at a future where console hardware could be repurposed as a pc as the lines between pc's and consoles keep blurring
131:24 Unfortunately, I don't think so. I think the sony rumor that they're pulling back from pc releases
131:31 If anything indicates that sony wants to draw
131:35 clearer lines between their consoles and general-purpose software pcs
131:40 In the lead-up to the release of the playstation 6. I think they
131:45 Are recognizing that later in the console's life cycle. It's very beneficial to take that software
131:52 and tap into a new market with it and sell a bunch of
131:56 you know spider-man to pc gamers
131:59 But if you want to move the machine if you want to create the install base
132:04 You got to have exclusives and I remember talking about this back with the original steam machine where I was like, yeah, I understand valve's like
132:10 Good guy philosophy where they don't want to have
132:14 exclusivity, you know, you know
132:18 Locked games for the steam machine and they want to be open
132:22 But at the end of the day Games move consoles. It's that simple and I think sony is
132:30 Either recognizing or this was the plan the whole time that when they launch a new generation
132:36 there is absolutely No way that they are not going to be that they are going to be a success without exclusive titles
132:45 It's just not going to happen man. Microsoft So they're like losing
132:49 consoles they're
132:53 I think people are genuinely getting just a little too over it when it comes to operating systems
132:59 I don't think we're quite there yet, but There are actually it does seem to be a lot more people that I've been hearing from actually genuinely switching over to Linux lately
133:08 Especially normie people. Yep that are mad about it. Sorry. I thought you were gonna say that are that are fed up with it
133:13 No, yeah, I uh, I I know I know people that
133:17 used a steam deck and we're just like
133:20 Wait, this is fine. I'm like just actually replace their computers with steam decks
133:26 And they don't even think of it as like I'm running Linux
133:29 They're just like, yeah, I use a steam deck and it's fine. Like I don't even know if they're really fully understanding like what that means
133:35 Um, it's steam os, but that's the thing Linux is not a distro Linux is not an operating system
133:41 Yeah, I think steam os is going to be the one azure is running
133:46 Linux so pilot is
133:50 kind of Open a i powered like what are they?
133:57 It's like the office company now teams. Yeah, the worst chat
134:02 I guess but like honest this is
134:06 What what have you had to do anything? I'm assuming. Yeah, have you had have you had to do anything with like documentation so far on Linux?
134:11 What have you been using libra only office? What have you been using?
134:15 Have you used any of it? I just use google docs google docs. Yeah
134:19 I had to sign some pdfs recently and uh, I I went with only office just to give it a shot
134:27 And it was Really easy and totally fine
134:31 Right, did you have to pay like Like five bucks for a picture nothing it's feed or like I'd also I thought this was kind of funny
134:38 There's definitely more things when you download office 365. I feel like I didn't hear something
134:43 Um That's okay. Everyone else got it. There's there's definitely more things that you're downloading when you download office 365
134:50 But only office downloaded fast and it like takes a while to download office 365
134:56 And you have to jump through a bunch of login hoops and do all these different types of things
134:59 And like I was probably done signing my first document before I would have been done
135:04 installing office Um, yeah
135:07 Oh, you have to I remember for years It was a pain in the butt to even find the download link for office 365 because they had it behind a login
135:16 And then you would download it and then you'd have to log in anyway I don't know if it's super annoying with creative cloud
135:21 But that would they had a really similar situation where getting the creative cloud
135:25 application download link Involved logging in and then you'd have to log in again once you got it
135:31 It's like what is the downside of just letting me download this thing and then I'll log in once I get it
135:36 Yeah Yeah, yeah, it's uh, but yeah, it's I mean it was a pretty great experience. Um
135:44 So just want to throw that out there, but yeah microsoft stop taking ells bruh. I liked it when you were cool. I really
135:53 God this whole Linux thing has been fun. I would really love to to enjoy Windows again
135:58 It would be so that's something That I think a lot of people miss in all of our takes on basically everything
136:06 Is that we are not Pro one side one sec. Sorry Dan is that pro competition. Is this going to the to the viewers?
136:16 Can they see this mouse cursor? What what there's a mouse. Oh, that's my mouse cursor. Yeah, are you hallucinating a mouse cursor? No, there's a mouse
136:23 I'm sorry. It was on the wrong screen. Can they even see that? No, that's that's my fourth monitor. Oh, so that's just for me
136:29 Okay, don't keep it there. Anyway, um, we are we're pro competition
136:34 competition between Windows and Linux and macOS and competition between Android and iphone and and competition between
136:44 xbox and playstation So you're gonna see us like like I've seen people who are like
136:50 Why this always flip flops anyway, you know, he's not consistent. Yeah, I'm not consistent
136:56 We're trying to support underdogs in a time When NVIDIA is so dominant in gpus, for instance
137:03 You're gonna hear me say hey like Intel's doing some really cool stuff
137:08 Over there right now and it's really important that we acknowledge that because we need competition
137:14 And in the same way, you know, even though I might
137:18 Say that from a day-to-day use perspective, there's a lot of aspects of the Linux experience that are not working too great for me
137:25 You're still gonna hear me talk about how the microsoft
137:28 Dominance in the operating system space has to be challenged because otherwise we end up with what we've got now
137:34 a monopoly always Encrapifies always every single time it will turn to crap eventually because competition
137:44 Puts pressure on us to do better. And so you're always going to hear that from us
137:48 Yeah Yeah Speaking of which live nation ticket master agreed to settle a federal antitrust lawsuit with the department of justice
137:58 Uh, and apparently they they won't be broken up
138:02 The doj reached a surprise settlement with live nation just one week into its landmark antitrust trial
138:08 Allowing the company to keep ticket master without admitting any wrongdoing the deal cap service fees at 15
138:15 percent at live nation menus bars
138:20 Oh at live nation menus bars ticket master from requiring exclusive contracts with large
138:25 Ampitheaters and requires all acquisitions to be submitted to the doj for approval regardless of size. Well, okay
138:32 The middle one is actually Not that that helps a lot
138:38 The exclusive contracts one. Yeah, the whole exclusive contracts thing. However in my humble opinion, that's not enough carry on
138:46 Yeah, not at all Uh, the settlement blindsided state state attorneys general more than 25 states and
138:54 DC say they're continuing the trial anyway
138:59 The presiding judge called the process entirely unacceptable after it emerged
139:05 The doj and live nation had already signed
139:08 a What had already signed a preliminary agreement on thursday without
139:13 Notifying the states giving them only 24 hours to decide whether to join seat geek called it incredibly disappointing senator
139:21 Amy klobuchar Said breaking up the company is the only real fix and rival promoters say 16 years of surface level remedies
139:31 Haven't worked the settlement still needs final court approval
139:37 With more than half the states rejecting the deal and continuing the trial does a settlement that lets live nation keep ticket
139:44 ticket master actually solve anything
139:47 The current doj is I look i'm not american so take this for all it is but the current doj appears
139:53 to be an enormous problem for people who want things like this
139:58 Which are important things that that impact everyday people lots of people
140:03 um Seems to be the most people massive massive problem
140:08 My friends call me they're like wow, that's so many people
140:11 It is it is so many people. I mean if you buy a ticket for basically freaking anything you have to deal with ticket master and the
140:20 um The clearly back alley deal that was done to reach this settlement
140:27 um It's just so clear that it should be a wake-up call to anyone who's
140:34 Not certain how clear this was That it was very clear that this was a back alley corrupt deal and
140:43 Charcoal nun nyan says but have you seen the dow?
140:47 Dude Yeah, exactly exactly the dow though
140:55 But the dow It's it is so fascinating watching politicians and billionaires
141:03 Talk about the stock market as though it matters to what what percentage is it?
141:08 Of uh of even people in in affluent countries like even in north america
141:14 What percentage is it of people who actually own stocks?
141:18 I know that a lot of people will have part of their retirement
141:22 um invested In uh invested in stocks
141:26 But in terms of like actual like having a personal portfolio
141:31 My understanding is it is the the investment class is
141:35 Shockingly small. I know the I think is the top 1 percent own 50 percent of the entire stock market
141:41 um Yeah, no key says 62 percent of u.s. Adults own stocks apparently but that includes that's the thing
141:47 Hold on hold on Yeah, how much though like we've got people in chat that are like yeah, I own I own four grand in stocks
141:54 I own I own like a couple grand in stocks
141:58 When the when the stock market goes up, you know 10 percent
142:02 It's like you made 400 dollars, which is like yeah, okay great as long as
142:07 Uh, you know inflation isn't going wild and that's not just you know treading water
142:12 But like in terms of people who own like significant
142:17 value of stocks like I remember I remember reading that it's like it's like shockingly small
142:23 Um, I don't know the exact numbers. Erldo says it's something like the wealthiest 10 percent own 87 to 93 percent of the actual like
142:32 dollar value of the stocks though. It's like, okay
142:36 cool
142:42 Yeah, I'm not uh, not much of a stock guy I do feel I honestly I feel like I've like missed out over this
142:49 Incredible like what is it like a 20 year bull run or something like that at this point?
142:53 business insider in 2024 said that the wealthiest 10 percent of americans own 93 percent of stocks
143:01 Even with market participation at a record high
143:05 Cool But the dow is pretty freaking sick, dude
143:10 Let's let the oh man. No I'm gonna lose it. I need to
143:16 In through the mouth out through the nose
143:27 What can we talk about don't worry though about that
143:31 Because the the dock just moved don't worry about that because the steam machine is coming
143:36 Even with rising DRAM prices around the world and a slight delay in the steam machine release
143:41 Valve posted a blog post that the steam machine steamframe and steam controller would all arrive
143:47 In 2026 on that train our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year
143:52 This is a quote has not changed But we have work to do to land on concrete pricing and launch dates
144:00 They did also skate in the blog post that if you have a line on a bunch of RAM
144:05 We are in the market and would like to buy which is you know, probably a
144:10 A joke but still maybe someone will
144:13 Uh discussion question going back to the original discussion about steam machine and the price it would hit
144:18 It would have to hit Do you think your original guesses about price would make this more appealing to people now that DRAM prices have affected things?
144:26 So much
144:30 Uh, yeah, I feel like it kind of has to be yes
144:34 Because if it is more appealing, yeah, because I relative things are going to be accurate
144:40 It's going to go up. Yeah, uh, but then again, I okay, so I guess a little higher though. I wonder
144:46 Here's where I get a little confused though On the one hand. Yeah DRAM pricing has gone bananas and so has nand flash
144:54 But then on the other hand apple just released a $600 laptop that from my understanding
145:00 It is like trivially easy to get an educational discount on and is $4.99
145:06 With the educational discount. Yeah, it's only got eight gigs of RAM. Sure, but but still
145:13 Like price competitive products are clearly still able to be released still possible
145:19 And but then again There you go, I was talking to the the writers about this and someone was like, how are they doing this and
145:26 My guess is that apple locked in their contract for this stuff like two years ago because they operate on a time scale
145:33 And and a general scale that they have few other companies have the bank to do that kind of stuff
145:40 um And on top of that speaking of that macbook neo co-CEO of ASUS flip in loves it and is also
145:49 Pretty scared of it ASUS co-CEO
145:52 who sue
145:55 S. Y. Sue Sue Oh, I was just trying to do the last thing. Yeah, s y sue
146:02 Called the apples 599 macbook neo or 499 if you're clever a shock to the entire pc industry
146:08 Which honestly, yeah saying apple has never competed at this price point before
146:14 Sue said all major pc players microsoft Intel and AMD are actively discussing how to respond to the macbook neo threat
146:22 And they probably should be to be completely honest despite this
146:26 He attempted to downplay the neo's appeal pointing to his eight gigabytes of non-upgradable unified memory and calling it more
146:34 Of a content consumption device similar to an ipad also known as what almost everyone uses their laptops for
146:40 The verges he didn't include that part I put that in there the verges review also flagged slow SSD speeds as another notable limitation alongside the RAM cap
146:50 Again, it's six hundred bucks
146:53 Um, that said most outlets are reviewing the device quite positively and demand from the market is
146:59 Notable and i'm not surprised. That's amazing, dude
147:04 What a crazy piece of hardware
147:08 Um, our discussion question is do you agree with sue's assessment that the neo is just a content consumption device?
147:15 Or is that maybe just a cope? I actually do
147:19 Mostly agree But I don't think it's the gotcha that maybe he hopes that it is because to luke's point
147:27 The vast majority of what people are doing on their laptop
147:32 Is content consumption if you go to macbook air
147:37 What were you doing with it? Yeah Yeah
147:40 Content consumption maybe maybe you did some garage band for fun. I'm sure that still works. I wouldn't be surprised if you can do some
147:47 Not super crazy final cut
147:50 Oh Sue is pronounced shoe shoe. Okay. Thank you. Mellow geek. I thought something might have been wrong. Sorry about that
147:56 I thought it was sue Anyway shoe
147:59 Um, also, I think this is just the first volley
148:04 Apple never no matter how catastrophically a product performs
148:11 Apple never launches just one
148:14 I should okay. No, I shouldn't say Never there might be an example at some point
148:20 But like even vision pro, okay Got it. Yeah, I got a follow-up people are trying to gotcha me with the vision pro
148:28 Got a new model. Yeah, okay newton the pippin the pippin. Yeah, okay, where's our pippin?
148:34 Yeah, we lost our pippin. We don't know where it is. I uh, I should have been stolen
148:39 Yeah, if spanky2k says even the weird hi-fi thing led to the home pod
148:43 Yep, like they apple doesn't release a product
148:48 In a vacuum They release a product with a freaking road map with a freaking plan
148:55 Okay, the trash can poke brick. Yeah, the trash can was kind of a disaster
149:00 Not in a long time though, okay, it's been a long time still I'm still standing
149:06 It's just a different form factor for their desktop product line though
149:10 It was but it was also kind of a dead end in terms of the paradigm the paradigm of
149:17 The mac pro as this like kind of locked down no expansion cards
149:21 Yeah, but like the mac pro existed before that. I understand what you're saying. I I see the logic, but I don't think it 100% fits
149:30 I see that in both ways. I see that in both. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah for sure the point that I'm getting at
149:34 The point I'm getting at here is the macbook neo is almost certainly the first
149:41 In a line of macbook neos And I guarantee you that if they didn't have the limitation of only eight gigs of RAM
149:50 On top of the package for the a18 processor
149:54 That they would have at least considered allowing you to pay for a memory upgrade
149:59 I mean apple loves having people pay for a memory upgrade or a storage upgrade now
150:06 They didn't go far in terms of the storage upgrades that are available on it
150:11 That does tend to be a way that apple differentiates their top models
150:14 So for instance the the latest iphone you have to buy the pro if you want to get I believe is it two terabytes or four terabytes of storage
150:21 Whatever it is whatever the top storage configuration it is you you have to get a pro
150:26 and I would expect them to not offer a macbook neo with
150:31 200 gigs of memory and freaking four terabytes of storage or whatever that is a differentiating point for them
150:38 But I would be shocked if the next one doesn't allow 12 gigs
150:42 Or 16 gigs as we make our way through subsequent releases and with the way that
150:49 Software optimization is going right now
150:52 um 16 gigs of ddr4 was like
150:57 Good and a lot and 16 gigs of ddr5 is pretty good and a lot and
151:05 Like we it's if you think about it. It's actually been quite a while
151:08 Since we've really needed More than eight to 16 gigs. You know what I mean? It's mostly been websites, but you can just close tabs
151:15 Yeah, it's it's just it's just a little bit of convenience. It's not so much capability that much for most users
151:24 Exactly and so if we see an a19 pro chip with 12 gigs of RAM in a next gen
151:33 Man that thing is going to be killer. It's just going to be killer. It's going to it's going to destroy
151:40 the the the budget Windows machine market
151:44 Like apple is dude apple is freaking
151:48 They're out for blood like it's like they want market share for a change. Good mac mini is already like the computer to buy
151:57 Distro depths on the Linux on a certain price seem to be hungry and apple seems to be hungry
152:04 And i'm very happy because Microsoft needs some people chomping at them
152:09 Um Microsoft can be great again. I I believe in a positive future for microsoft. I just they have to get focused
152:17 They have to get focused man. Oh my god. They're going to luke and not soon eight or nine percent of their business
152:23 It's less than 10 percent of their business I just don't think they're paying attention. They're not focused on it
152:29 I mean they went and they put that ai exec in charge of xbox like what are they?
152:33 Yeah, but if you start if you start losing Windows Windows is
152:37 A part of you're talking revenue And for sure, but I think if you start losing Windows
152:44 You start losing three six five subscriptions
152:48 Oh, you're a hundred percent right like I think it's I think it's this like
152:53 It's it's their infrastructure department kind of that happens to make money
152:56 I'm talking about the the dangerous path that they could be heading down. Oh, totally. Yeah, if they if they manage their business based on
153:04 Counting beans Yeah, you gotta you got so many beans dude. You got so many beans coming in your your bean income seems to be pretty good
153:12 You should probably work on uh Making it so that the thing that supports all your incoming beans is a little bit better just let and
153:21 Okay, honestly, I'm gonna use that argument The like it's eight percent or whatever just make it awesome
153:27 Whatever get the stupid ads out and stuff and just make it really good and go back to the whole just
153:33 Everyone uses Windows therefore microsoft wins by default thing that worked for you so well
153:38 And just make money off a zoo or and make money off office three six five business subscriptions
153:43 Whatever because every single freaking person in the world is using uh Windows because everyone has these cheap laptops
153:50 And because if you don't do that everyone's just gonna get macbooks because they're
153:54 For a business, you know, their businesses aren't going to do the student discount thing for a business
153:59 There's 600 bucks and if they run pretty good a lot of users would love to have macbooks
154:07 Anyways
154:11 We're reviewing right now our our subscription software at at work and
154:16 We've been running into the like Okay, well, it's incredibly uncomfortable
154:22 but we're probably gonna have to make a choice finally between google workspace and and
154:26 Microsoft And there's a lot of pushback in each direction. I think if I could speak for them most of the it team
154:34 Kind of wants to lean towards the microsoft route. Um, I think from an it perspective it's
154:41 Easier and better for them I
154:44 viciously hate teams sorry
154:47 Sorry, we'd be ditching teams. Are we talking about ditching teams? We're talking about ditching something either google workspace or
154:55 Office 365 which includes teams
154:58 Um, because each one of these are massive very expensive contracts. I'm trying to save you tons of money
155:04 Is ultimately what's going on. Oh, I'm I'm very aware. Yeah, so we're trying to figure out one of them if we ditch
155:11 365 The like popular tech bro route is to use slack and google workspace, but slack is so expensive
155:21 Yeah, which sucks and people are saying matter most just you know, you can talk to each other if you want
155:26 Um, it's so it's it's it's this thing, but there is the curveball
155:32 I didn't I said I didn't believe them. I didn't believe them for a year. I said on when I didn't believe them
155:37 I was at google and saw people's laptops. They actually use chat
155:44 They actually just use google chat Are we going to go full circle and go back to so it's we're trying to figure out
155:51 We're trying to figure out. Do we go to chat and hangouts? Do we go to chat and hangouts and google workspace?
155:59 Keeping our like insane pile
156:02 of Things that are in google drive. Yeah
156:06 Yeah, so do we honestly even though I hate teams honestly probably sacrifice in the chat department?
156:12 Yeah, and Still have to have some people like the accounting teams. They're still going to need
156:17 Stripped down licenses for microsoft so they can have things like excel. They just need excel excel is just the best at what it does
156:24 I I dog on a ton of microsoft things, but local desktop excel is just unassailable as far as I can tell at this point
156:30 So they just need excel some of the teams might need excel people that need excel will have a license that gets them excel
156:35 Uh, but we don't mess around with too much other stuff or do we go the other route?
156:39 And keep teams. Yeah, but have to migrate all of this stuff out of google drive
156:44 You're gonna have to you're gonna have to find my google docs from my cold dead hands
156:47 See, this is this is the thing is for people like you
156:51 I think it would be easier to go the google route, but for other people it might be easier to go the other route and
157:03 It's rough because both of these companies their subscriptions are going Whoop
157:07 Because they're trying to bundle AI stuff and make us you can't really get out of those contracts that include AI
157:12 They're just starting to include AI by default and then cranking the price because of it and like all this crap is getting really expensive
157:19 Um, also, I think because there was like some unlimited data loophole thing or something
157:25 But back in the day you guys signed up for a pricey google workspace subscription
157:31 Um, so there is a way that we could actually like half basically the google workspace subscription
157:38 And that was because we were using it for cloud backup and then nobody ever cancelled it, I guess. Yep
157:43 Uh, so we were probably just gonna for one video. That was it's we think that it's still there
157:49 Uh, so we're very likely going to drop there's other things we would lose though
157:53 Like that way that we figured out that email issue that you had we would like lose that
157:57 Um, so there there are things but we've only ever used that twice
158:01 There was one for a document security thing A while ago that you are aware of that i'm not going to go into details for
158:08 Um, that I would have needed that tier for And there was uh your email thing those are like the only two things I can remember that we that's pretty good though
158:16 It is but those are the only two times we've ever really used it
158:20 and it's like 30k a year or something so
158:24 Jebus you might you might want to just drop it
158:27 um And i'm not gonna lie. We do need to we do need to look at our expenses
158:34 I mean, I've been I think I've been very very clear internally and you know talking to the audience on wanshow
158:41 That we don't operate in the same environment
158:44 That we used to and we're gonna have to find some efficiency
158:49 Um, I don't know if you saw this luke probably not because you don't stare at the the views dashboard as obsessively as I do
158:56 But over the last little while the last like week or so we've had quite a few releases closer to like our old daily cadence and
159:03 Um, a handful of them actually like performed quite well
159:07 And the the channel was just like going and then we had one day that we didn't upload
159:11 And the overnight dip which was something that I would look at traditionally in order to determine what the kind of like
159:18 The background Viewership is you know, aside from your your new release like your hottest new video
159:25 Dipped below what it was before we had a bunch of like good performing videos over the last little while
159:32 so the the just like background
159:35 Vaude viewership of The library of content that we've produced over the years
159:41 is just going down As people's interest in the tech hobby wanes and we can see this with like, uh,
159:49 google, um What's the search relevancy tool again? So we're asking if his feet is like I think that's just him being
159:57 There's like there's like half a second of there in back time. He's literally across the planet
160:04 It's I've been pretty happy with the stream so far. Sorry keep going
160:08 Yeah doing our best And also as youtube, uh, emphasizes shorts more and more and more
160:17 It's just uh, the the the back catalog and the competition increases for for people's eyeballs
160:24 Those those back catalog videos are just not
160:28 Getting any views anymore Oh, wow. No, I'm getting like really choppy now. Uh, oh it'll self-rex flight
160:35 Anyway, the point is that we're gonna have to find some we're gonna have to find some
160:39 Efficiency Thankfully, we are pretty well diversified
160:44 We, you know, we have the creator warehouse, uh, LTT Store team. Oh, oh good lord. Is my voice okay at least
160:52 Getting some robot, but your voice is fine
160:55 Okay, cool, that's great Um, so yeah, if we could lose one of these subscriptions, I would find it extremely hilarious if we ultimately went full circle back to freaking
161:06 Uh hangouts whatever they call it now
161:09 Yeah, I I don't know what we're going to do We we are probably going to do that subscription reduction thing
161:15 But we need to really figure out all the different levels of impact and then make sure that people are okay with us
161:21 You know, not actually having certain levels of tools
161:24 Um, but it would save a ton of money. So it's probably worth it
161:28 But we need to figure that out still and then After that that seems like just we should definitely
161:33 AJ identified that and we should just like definitely look into that first
161:37 But then we have basically until the end of the year
161:40 Because there are such massive penalties to early cancellation
161:44 um, we have basically till the end of the year to figure this out and
161:49 When AJ pointed out like look the cancelate early cancellation fees are so bad. There's basically no point in doing so
161:55 um And the contract renewals are basically at the end of the year. It was like, okay
162:02 We have some time Because this is going to be insane and painful no matter what route we go. It will be bad. There is no like
162:11 This is going to be a hard sell internally because there is no route without pain, but
162:16 It will be a massive reduction in cost no matter what direction we go. So
162:21 We're gonna kind of need a direction youtube and going in the direction of
162:25 More and more shorts all the time They clearly aren't going to change course anytime soon because it turns out youtube makes more money from ads than disney paramount and warner bros
162:35 combined According to research firm moffitt nathanson youtube earned 40.4
162:41 billion in ad revenue while disney nbc paramount and warner bros earned 36.1 billion combined
162:48 parent company alphabet confirmed last month that in 2025 youtube generated 60
162:54 billion with a b in revenue
162:57 Which still trails behind meta which generated 196.2 billion in ad revenue
163:03 But uh, this isn't google versus meadow youtube. Yeah
163:07 Yeah, not all of alphabet. That is pretty freaking incredible. And I think
163:13 One of the most recent insights we've gotten into exactly how
163:20 youtube is doing Revenue wise
163:24 The female audience says hey, wait a minute Linus doesn't paramount own warner brothers now that that is still
163:29 Happening that's still pending But but yes, the offer is in and I is
163:35 Functionally accepted, but they are still operating today as separate companies until such time as the acquisition is complete
163:46 So, um, yeah, I still have my only question for there we go
163:52 Oh, am I gone? No. No, you're back. Cool
163:55 Okay, my only question for youtube is when will it be enough and can you stop in gupifying the service?
164:03 Because I heard they just added 30 second unskippable ads to tv's
164:08 Will 30 seconds be enough for you? Are we just going to go all the way back to cable tv with like three minute ad breaks?
164:15 Can we not? Please can we just not the honestly the ai slop content is getting to be too much
164:22 We were talking before the show about how theo joe
164:25 Um, which it might have been a joke might not have been but theo joe posted on twitter about like bro. I'm done. It's like
164:33 Too much. I don't want to compete with like actual just junk
164:38 And I run into it on the platform
164:41 Decently often people with junk. I'd go on only fans
164:44 Yeah, I mean we should put our put our stuff up on the hook. Where's my ding Dan?
164:51 We got to bring that project back. We got to put our put our videos on the hub. Um, but uh
164:58 Yeah, it's there's so much of it. It's crazy. Um
165:04 I don't know Yeah, this is another tweet from theo joe. Uh, no, he just posted this in chat
165:10 I really think youtube is going to be overwhelmed with garbage slop within a few years to the point where it will no longer be usable
165:16 And this comes back to the conversation I have with youtube every time I can get in a room with them
165:20 And I may have an opportunity to chat with some execs in the near future here
165:24 And I'm going to bring it up again. It's like look you guys need to decide what you want to be
165:31 You can be tick tock. You can be
165:34 Facebook and instagram and just full of ai crap garbage short form
165:41 Hit move on to the next dopamine hit crap Or you can take a bit of a hit now
165:47 And in the long term keep your soul keep your identity be youtube
165:52 Because and I'll just I'm going to be really honest with them with the way things are trending right now
165:59 LTT in its current form may not be viable in the medium future
166:06 It just may no longer be viable
166:09 Um, like we upload relatively few shorts
166:13 But like I can tell I can tell in our analytics
166:17 What they're pushing and what they're not and youtube's response to this kind of thing is always well
166:23 You know, we're giving the audience what they want it's like
166:27 Yeah, kind of But also not
166:30 also You guys control how prominent the short shelf is you you you actually decide that
166:37 And yeah, people, you know click on it because
166:40 You know, you're you're the dealer and they want another hit But you can you can be part of
166:46 Breaking the cycle You can be part of of making youtube an app that I don't feel icky
166:53 About opening that I don't feel guilty about using you can feed me high quality content that makes me feel
167:01 Enriched after I'm done consuming it
167:06 Don't just like it's like be a good parent
167:10 Right, like obviously my kids would eat more if I gave them candy at every opportunity, right?
167:16 They'd eat so much I could have the kids that eat the most good for me
167:20 But what if there was a goal beyond that? What if I wanted them to be healthy?
167:23 What if I wanted them to reach adulthood and go thanks, dad
167:27 I didn't look at youtube fondly my vegetables. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't always love you because of that
167:34 Yeah, and sometimes sometimes I didn't do what you said and I went on tiktok and I ate candy
167:41 Um, but I understand why you were trying to feed me something different. Thank you, you know, maybe you could have that attitude
167:47 I'm starting to I'm starting to lose hope though
167:51 Um speaking of in crapification. Let's talk about high sense. Oh my god
167:58 Sammy just told me something I didn't know If you watch a lot of shorts on youtube the app defaults to a short when you open the app
168:05 That is unhinged
168:10 I didn't know that it kind of makes sense though I
168:15 Don't even have the app installed anymore
168:19 And see it shouldn't come to that dude It should not come to that but I got either of these things
168:24 I got so tired of shorts that I actually uninstalled the app and I watched youtube on my phone through a browser now
168:30 No, he says not even that if your last watched video is a short
168:35 It will just launch a short
168:41 Whoa
168:44 This is nuts. Yeah
168:53 Uh, okay. Well another in crapification news
168:56 Owners of high sense tv's in spain and britain have reported unskippable ads appearing
169:04 During basic functions like powering on their tv's
169:08 Switching inputs Navigating to the home screen or changing channels
169:14 Result reports of intrusive ads on high sense tv's have been growing since 2022 tom's hardware reports and have escalated
169:21 From small tile ads to unskippable videos
169:26 We've got links to some reddit posts showing incidents. Um, I won't be able to screen share luke. Do you want to fire one of those up?
169:32 So I was reading something else for a second. Which one is this? High sense tv's
169:36 Oh funny show us one of the examples. Yeah, uh, while you're finding it the ads began appearing after purchase on sets with high
169:43 Sense recently rebranded home os formerly vida an os that is licensed by other manufacturers
169:50 At least one of the complaints has been about a toshiba tv
169:54 Some users have reportedly contacted high sense directly and provided their tv's unique id to disable the ads
170:02 Spanish publication la razón I don't know how to Spanish accent
170:06 But anyway published a statement from high sense that denied wrongdoing
170:10 Asserting that an incident covered was a one-off test that did not
170:15 Affect the normal operation of the television or limit access to its main uses. This is translated by google translate
170:22 The question for me and Whenever a company uses this as an excuse is why are you testing that?
170:29 You know, yeah, it's like it's like do you think that
170:34 Do you think that that would I don't know i'm in i'm in korea So I got korea on the brain, but do you think that if the north koreans, you know
170:41 Did a nuclear test and everyone was like, yo, can you not?
170:45 That you know don't don't build a nuclear program and they're like, well, I was just testing it
170:50 You know, what what does that mean? Right, what does I was just testing it mean?
170:55 It means you're testing it like why
170:58 Why did you why did you need to test that?
171:03 Sorry, Luke. Do you want to show the thing now? I love this comment. Uh, kato s said, oh god
171:08 There's an emergency alert better turn on the news and then you just get an ad
171:12 Um, right like can we not please?
171:15 Would you want me to read sorry? I wanted to see one of the examples. Oh, yeah, I know I showed them all
171:22 Oh brilliant. Okay. Well, I missed them. Uh, yeah, I
171:25 II rftw and float playing chat says you spent dev time on it. Yes
171:30 Here here's my bug. I'll show it again. Here's my favorite one
171:35 So they're they're on their like homepage thing you can see them navigate down to
171:41 here just Wow
171:45 And that that is a whole ass ad whole ad
171:51 Whole ad rough Wild
171:55 Dude, okay investment disclosure framework. Hear me out framework tv
172:00 I'd be very interested actually. It just wasn't crap. I'd be super interested genuinely. Oh my goodness. Yeah
172:06 What about a tv? That you could upgrade you could upgrade the processor in for like your google tv or whatever it is
172:14 Or or it just had a little like nook that you could like put an apple tv in
172:18 And then you could just configure the firmware of the tv to just launch your apple tv every time you
172:24 You know what I mean? So black raven asks would it be a dumb tv or a smart tv?
172:28 I would see it as I would see it as both. Yeah, kernel critic says that's just a tv with a dongle
172:33 But but that's the thing is I wouldn't want to I personally like
172:38 Using whatever it's called. I forget they've rebranded it a couple times whether it's Android tv or google tv or whatever it is
172:43 I like google tv. It's pretty good. I like to use it
172:47 But over time you get heavier media files or you know, whatever
172:51 I might like to be able to upgrade the processor make it more responsive. Sometimes I like gaming on it
172:55 There's a fun game bomb squad. That's really fun with a big group
172:59 gaming on the tv Choice exactly ricky bobby choice. I want choice
173:05 And so if somebody wants a stupid one
173:08 Then yeah, have a stupid tv have a dumb tv and have it not do any of that stuff
173:13 But I also want to have the option to do that and if there was anyone that I would trust to do it
173:20 I think it'd be framework I think I I think I could trust them to not screw this up investment disclosure. Yeah, that'd be awesome
173:26 I'm I'm pitching it. I'm pitching it right now No guarantees that they'll do it, of course. They're gonna be more expensive. They don't work for me
173:34 Yep, and and they're uh, they're gonna be more expensive
173:37 Even if they do make one like people have to realize that this crap is why is part of the reason why tv's are so cheap now
173:44 because they're monetizing
173:47 You're you know, I'm getting a lot of packet loss. Sorry guys
173:52 Uh, I can maybe just do another topic while we wait for him. Let me see if there's something
173:57 I can talk about slay the spire. I can talk about that for as long as you want. We'll wait for Linus to catch up here
174:03 Um, uh, slay the spire to almost
174:07 Beat silk songs record, which I don't even think it was gonna get quite that high
174:11 But I'm very proud of them. Good job mega crit. I've played too much of your game
174:15 Uh, the sequel to mega crit's 2019 hit record. Well, just called slay the spire to be clear. Uh, hit
174:23 This one Hi, um hit
174:27 They apparently recorded nearly 575,000 concurrent players after its early access release last week
174:34 It's still in early access. I was you know, whatever Um, only about 12,000 players shy, which when you're at the scale of over half a million is not that much
174:43 Of the indie record set by hollow knight silk song back in september of
174:50 Last year really September. Yeah, it was that long ago. Yeah
174:57 Wow I mean, I was gonna say it was
175:00 It's not very long ago, but yes It's both. All right. Uh, the game already has more than 43,000 reviews on steam and is rated
175:11 Overwhelmingly positive Yes, let's go exciting. Uh, have I been playing? I have played I played mostly on the plane
175:20 To to and from florida, um, but I played a little bit since then too. It's a long flight
175:27 It's a long flight. So I got a lot in there. Um,
175:31 It's uh, it's good. I don't know if I
175:35 Did you achieve your goal luke? I did when it was with every
175:41 He's lagging to all heck, but he he asked did I I'm gonna I'm gonna take the self-bragg aliyup that he gave me
175:47 He asked, uh, did you achieve your goal of being at once at least on every single character before we got back?
175:53 Um, and I only played it on the plane and I tried not to be too antisocial and yes, I did like kind of
175:59 Dan I think saw me do it like kind of as we were landing almost. Yeah, I think I finished the last run
176:05 You were like, I did it. Yeah. I did it laptop close. All right. We're we're landing still having conversations the whole time
176:11 Yeah, um, it's uh
176:15 It's early access the original game went through a bunch of balancing over time
176:20 I think it definitely needs more balancing work. Um in oh right. I'm looking over here now
176:25 In in my opinion, it still needs more work, but the the bones feel really good in my opinion
176:32 Um, I don't actually care too much that there's like animations now and stuff
176:37 Um, it looks nice. It just doesn't really mean much to me. Um
176:43 But the the bones are really cool the new necromancer characters like one of my favorite ones
176:47 I'm not super happy about the current state of silent, which is generally my favorite character
176:52 So I'm hoping there's some rebalancing stuff that happens there
176:56 Um, but yeah, we'll see we'll have to see what they do over the course of the early access
176:59 And then what they do after the fact like slayers fire one if I remember correctly
177:04 I I think it was like released before defect even came into the game. I'm not I'm not sure when it was technically out
177:10 Um, and then watcher came after as well
177:13 Um, the difficulty floor is so much higher than sts one. That's interesting. It feels
177:19 Just actually easier to me um
177:25 But I've been I've been really interested in what the community thinks about the the difficulty of the game there
177:30 I have found that there are more
177:33 Like kind of just I run into a mechanic and I'm just like
177:37 Like the I think it's called the time eater and slayers fire one one of the act three bosses
177:41 It's just super annoying because if you played a lot of cards, then it just hard directly counters you
177:47 And almost all my favorite decks on almost every character was just play a crazy amount of cards
177:52 um So it's really annoying to run into time eater
177:55 And now I find that there's more like time eater style enemies where it's like ha ha
178:01 You decided to build your deck that way. I guess you have a bad time now and I don't love that so much
178:08 um Again the balance isn't so obscure as well. Yeah, um, all right. Sorry. Everyone calls it expedition 33 where it's like
178:16 Oh You are not built in this exact way. Therefore your your break damage
178:23 is Too low and you can beat this boss, but you will have to grind
178:30 It will take you forever Like there's an end boss called the queen
178:35 um And I haven't read a bunch of like other people's opinions on size bar two yet
178:40 But I read one thread because I was like to other people. I heard that one was super. Thanks for asking
178:46 I It's an old reference
178:51 I don't get it But uh, yeah, I was like, I wonder what other people think about this like horribly difficult boss
178:57 And I honestly thought all the other act three bosses were like so easy that they might as well been like elites or not even that hard
179:03 And then the queen is just like this horrifying mess of destroy my everything
179:08 And then I read online that everyone's like wow, that's the easiest one
179:12 Um And I don't know what's going on. So I might not have opinions that line up with other people
179:19 um, I also find that Or sorry
179:22 I also saw on that thread that apparently people were saying that the queen punishes hyper optimized decks
179:27 And if you just like grab cards for fun And your deck isn't like built around a certain system that you have an easier time with it
179:34 And I tend to try to make optimized decks
179:37 But then that's it runs into the same problem where it's like especially when you're running on really high difficulty
179:42 You're probably going to want optimized decks. So then you just have like a die roll that if your game has the queen is the end boss
179:48 You just lose Like I I don't like that. That's what I really really hated about. Um
179:55 Time eater, but anyways slayers bar really cool game
179:58 It's it's overwhelmingly positive even if I don't currently like it as much as slayers bar one
180:02 and I think they can uh, tune things up because they have in the past and
180:07 Mega crit is based and I even really liked their other random game
180:11 um mega crit Dancing game will I be able to find it this way dancing duelists this game? I believe is even free
180:20 Uh, it's on itch.io called dancing duelists
180:24 And this game is super fun. Yeah, you can just download the the zip for mac Linux or Windows right there
180:30 It's a game jam game. Yeah, it's a game jam game. It's super fun This was their first exploration into gadoe if I remember correctly
180:37 um And it's it's a fun little game
180:42 Uh, let me see if I can Shwoop
180:47 Game play Yeah, you pick your little dancer bro And then you have your different cards and then
180:52 The game kind of like semi auto plays But it's like
180:56 You build the deck and then it kind of does the things or whatever and blah blah blah blah for a game jam game
181:02 Holy crap. It was amazing. That's cool. It seems to be done the jump ship jam, which is over a month. So
181:07 Probably why it looks a little. Oh, yeah, it was like pretty polished and stuff month game jams intense. Yeah
181:14 Uh, but yeah, cool. It's nice by two sweet. I'm sure I will continue playing it for a long time

184:24 I'm plugging ears, but I have headphones in what am I going to do line is yeah line is doesn't care
184:28 Um, but I was I hatched the egg and this was first event first run
184:33 I'm just putting it out there. Just saying no, maybe I don't want to know. I don't want to know
184:38 You literally get a little bird bro I'm not going to worry about it. You get a little bird bro and he fights with you all the way up the spire
184:46 The second that happened. I was like, I can't lose. I can't lose when I have bird friend. That's impossible. That can't happen
184:53 I just thought it was amazing that my first run. I got bird immediately. Um
184:59 All right Let's jump into
185:03 Sony appears to be experimenting with dynamic ab pricing on the playstation store
185:10 PlayStation store price trackers at ps prices.com had been following dynamic ab pricing experiments since late last year
185:17 Where sony has shown users varying discounts of up to 27.8 percent
185:23 The experiment has lasted over four months and included over 190 games in over 70 regions including the us
185:31 affected titles have included Developers like sony 2k games focus entertainment deep silver Bethesda rockstar and
185:40 Ubisoft our discussion question here is our deep discounts coming to consoles and what I don't think that's
185:47 the more important discussion question is
185:50 Dynamic pricing. Can we not infect absolutely everything with this? Can we just have the price be the price?
185:57 Like yeah, I don't think this is deep discounts coming to consoles. I think this is
186:02 Uh trying to Extract as much possible dollars from each possible person you can
186:08 By like tracking what things they might like and might not like and making sure that there is optimal amounts of discounts
186:14 Applied to each individual person so that you can extract as many dollars as possible at any given time
186:20 um This is super bad. This is just a bad mro mutt says
186:26 I was about to say dynamic pricing on a digital store is pure evil
186:29 But if it's just discounts i'm not as upset, but that's the thing everything is dynamic discounts are just dynamic pricing
186:38 yuck
186:42 Yeah You could kind of consider that everything is a million dollars with a certain amount of discount applied to it
186:49 Like it's the the original sounds like best buy doesn't matter
186:55 Oh my god Have you seen some of the uh, some of the stuff people are sharing about best buys compare at feature?
187:01 We already talked about it a couple weeks ago. I think it was so we don't have to go through the whole thing
187:05 But people are posting some unhinged
187:09 Comparisons like I think there was someone bought open box uh air pods or something like that and the compare at was to brand new air pods
187:15 It's like, okay. Yeah, sure That's that's how that works. I think that's what I saw 350 dollars of savings
187:24 gross cool, um
187:28 In other news that's gross meta has acquired
187:32 Molt book the social media platform for ai agents bringing the company's founders
187:38 Matt schlickst and ben par into meta's ai research division
187:44 Um schlickst says he built molt book without writing a single line of code relying instead on his personal ai assistant claud clauderberg
187:53 Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed
187:59 Our discussion question is Does whatever research benefit we might gain from ai agents sending each other pictures of their lunches
188:06 outweigh the cost and natural resources Thank you, jordan for asking such a leading question with such an obvious answer
188:16 In other fun ai news amazon's ai coding tools linked to outages as internal documents reveal push for senior sign-off on generated ai code
188:25 After a six hour amazon.com outage and multiple aws incidents internal documents seen by the financial times show amazon
188:33 uh, senior vice president dave treadwell calling out a
188:38 trend of incidents tied to gen ai assisted changes with a high blast radius
188:44 And pushing for senior engineer sign-off on ai assisted code changes
188:48 amazon disputes the framing saying only one incident was ai related
188:53 None involved ai written code and the sign-off requirement isn't being formally mandated
188:59 The last part Okay, uh the aws incidents that's not the win you think it is
189:05 Yeah, the aws incidents included a 13 hour outage caused by amazon's own
189:11 Kiro ai coding tool deleting and recreating an entire
189:16 Environment which amazon attributed to user error rather than ai itself everything can be
189:23 And in a lot of ways fair enough, but that's why you need the sign-off thing, right
189:27 Uh discussion question amazon's own internal memo blamed ai tools
189:30 But the company's pr team is saying it's the opposite. Who do you believe uh the internal memo internal memo for sure
189:37 100 of the time to be clear internal memos can be bs
189:42 Yeah, but when i'm comparing it to a pr statement, it's going to be the internal memo
189:47 100 of the time. Yeah, it's not corporate popular right now to be like no no no the
189:52 The ai tools are bad for sure. Don't use ours. They have problems. That's not it's not going to go well right now
189:58 Ah Silicon valley like the tv show was just so far ahead like
190:07 It feels like uh It feels like it feels so
190:13 Accurate that it's it's almost creepy at this point
190:17 Yeah, um Yeah
190:22 I don't know how to deal with it like it's it's it's gone full circle
190:26 from like So Outlander or so true to life that it's funny to so true to life that it's not funny anymore. Yeah
190:36 Wet melan says I work at a silicon valley company. I still haven't seen it lol
190:40 I should really get around to that you really Really should if you've ever been anywhere near a startup or a big tech company. It is
190:49 So funny like I don't understand how it's that
190:53 Just how it captures the real experience and yet manages to
191:00 Be funny And not just depressing. It's it's so good
191:06 Inside out dude. I actually have only I've not seen the entire run I think I've only seen the first three seasons. I like bought them on blu-ray
191:12 I binge the first season with austin evans randomly enough
191:16 Really? Yeah, it was great. Nice. I'm hanging out. Um
191:19 Um Nintendo is suing the u.s. Government over tariffs
191:25 Uh, nintendo is seeking a full refund with interest of tariffs that paid under the IEPA
191:32 Order signed by president trump After the supreme court struck these orders or sorry multiple orders struck these orders down in february
191:41 Over a thousand companies including cosco and fedex have filed similar suits with a judge already ruling that they are in fact
191:48 Entitled to refunds nintendo's lawsuit has since been automatically paused pending the outcome of a
191:56 broader supreme court case covering all similar claims
192:00 um Trump has since announced plans to reimpose tariffs through section 122 of the trade act of 1974
192:08 Which is a more legally constrained method and has two dozen states
192:12 Over two dozen states already suing over that move as well. Here's the thing that i'm
192:18 going to just Come out and say i'm finding a little bit confusing about all of this
192:26 I have
192:30 Paid through companies that i am either sole owner or or partner owner
192:37 A lot of money in tariffs for products that we have imported or exported into the united states
192:46 um There is a part of me that would obviously love to have that money back
192:52 I i'm pretty sure it's like over a million dollars like a lot of money
192:56 We sell we sell a lot of goods on lttstore.com. It's a good store with great products people love them and uh businesses has been
193:04 Okay, um, you know, there's a lot of headwinds right now every every all hands you hear taren use the word headwinds
193:11 But but overall, you know, we've been we've we've diversified the team has uh worked hard. We're we're doing stuff
193:18 You know, we're we're getting it done And so with that volume of business, there's been a lot of money that has gone towards tariffs
193:28 I'd love to have it back But here's the thing
193:34 I believe Not I believe it's it's just I believe it is a fact there. I'll say this that tariffs are in fact a consumer tax
193:45 so Why would I get the refund?
193:51 So here's what i'm kind of trying to understand
193:54 And I know that for someone like nintendo or cosco, right?
193:59 They have made the argument Especially cosco. I don't actually know that nintendo is making this argument, but I know that cosco made the argument
194:06 That they held their pricing steady
194:09 right In or and they absorbed the tariffs because they believed that they would be able to sue
194:16 For the tariff money back and that would make them whole eventually. I mean, you know minus interest obviously an opportunity cost and whatever else, right?
194:26 um But in the current climate
194:31 Where will we find the nuance To differentiate between a company like cosco who claims right and I would tend to believe cosco
194:41 They've operated with pretty strong integrity over the years who claims that they
194:49 ate the cost Compared to other companies who passed the cost along to consumers
194:55 And then we'll basically be taking back free money
195:00 How do we differentiate that how do you prove that?
195:03 I have no idea. I think that's part of their argument actually is they they haven't started this stuff
195:07 And if I remember correctly the nintendo suit is already paused and I think the big part of that reason is because they're saying it's just too
195:14 Complicated, so we're gonna have to see where that goes I also think like
195:20 I think as far as my understanding goes we tried to keep prices down for
195:24 Americans so that would partially include us so maybe there needs to be just a refund in both directions
195:30 ours was complicated Some products some things
195:35 And I'm sure that almost everyone is probably kind of like us. Yeah
195:40 Because it was so volatile and at times there was a tariff one day and then there was like, oh forget it the next day and
195:47 And it was just it was chaos There were times when we just ate it
195:52 there were other times where we went to our suppliers and
195:57 We worked with them to to to manage margins
196:01 Across the board. So they would take a small hit We would take a small hit and we'd make a small adjustment to pricing
196:08 So everybody's taking a small hit the consumer us and our manufacturers
196:15 Then there were the times when we just we had to we just had to increase pricing
196:21 So we've done all of them So what's the right thing to do? There's also uh, I don't want to say this name, but someone in full playing chat said
196:30 Yeah, so what about companies that raised global pricing to subsidize Americans?
196:35 Which did also happen. That's tough. You can't really solve that. Where's the refund for european xbox buyers? Yeah
196:43 It's not happening So basically this is the this is the dumbest possible outcome
196:51 because The u.s taxpayer gets nothing for all of it
196:58 The u.s government gets nothing for all of it. It's like the least surprising because they don't get any of the money
197:03 just funnel more money the rich
197:07 And are we really just going to give a refund to the corporations who
197:13 You know what? From my point of view we're we're dramatically
197:17 Inconvenienced by this whole thing and it did affect our it did affect our revenue and it did affect our profit
197:22 It wasn't just inconvenience. This was a serious problem
197:27 With the money that was charged and also the haphazard way that the whole thing was implemented and messaged
197:33 It it burned
197:37 Countless cycles and a ton of money for us
197:41 Like the whole thing just is looking even
197:45 Dumber and like an even stupider more useless
197:50 Crap outcome than I even could have predicted and I was
197:54 Pretty opposed to the whole thing in the first place for fairly obvious reasons
197:59 just wild So dumb did you hear about?
198:03 a government Affiliated official that's been running around
198:08 selling Are basically buying companies tariff
198:15 Uh refunds for like pennies on the dollar. Yeah
198:18 Yeah, corruption in plain sight boys. It's been it's been
198:21 I think he's a dude in like the financial part of the government as well
198:26 Like I think he might have uh some amount of influence over if this is even happening
198:31 um Is it say so wait say the name again
198:36 I was it's got bessen. Yeah, I thought it was him. Um
198:40 I can't remember Lottnick. No, Lottnick. There we go. Isn't he still in finance stuff? Anyways
198:47 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, so the whole thing is commerce
198:51 So like the a person doing finance stuff
198:54 Who like is going to have a lot of influence. I just
198:59 Anyways, let's go man. Let's get through this. We got a couple more to go. I need to get into after dark here
199:04 This is getting brutal Um
199:08 BYD reveals charging network in world's longest range EV
199:12 Chinese automaker BYD has reportedly been testing a
199:16 1500 kilowatt hour flash charging network in shenzhen that is capable of adding
199:21 249 miles of EV range in five
199:25 minutes That means this network is more than three times faster than the ultra rapid chargers that currently exist in north america and europe
199:32 The test hub uses liquid cooled charging guns, which just sounds awesome
199:38 That allow users to roll up plug in and handle payment on either the infotainment or an Android app
199:45 The pricing at the demo site was about 18 cents per kilowatt hour making a charging session about 15 bucks
199:52 Meanwhile in america cyber trucks currently handle the highest charging speeds with peaks at around 500 kilowatt hours
200:00 So a third if the claim is real
200:03 BYD's luxury brand denza also teased their new z 9 gts uv with 644 miles of range
200:12 A 64 improvement from the current z 9 gt models
200:18 391 mile range, which is priced at around 50,000
200:22 usd It is worth noting that the chinese
200:28 range estimates are are not as
200:33 As difficult as the epa
200:37 us ones, so there's a bit of translation that'll have to go on there, but that is still
200:43 Freaking wild. That's an enormous range for for an SUV. It's not a big suv. I don't think
200:51 Trying to see like how what would this do it looks more model y or model x?
200:55 It actually looks amazing. This is the z 9. I decided I'll just look it up. But like that
201:01 $50,000 car dude like
201:04 I'm so stoked on being able to get BYD soon, dude. Yeah, they're gonna disappear. They're gonna sell out instantaneously
201:13 There's I think it's 50,000 cars that they're in total allowed to bring in. They're just all gonna disappear
201:20 Looks like that inside 952 brake horsepower
201:26 952 Looks like that inside looks like this outside and it's 50k. You think those aren't gonna instantly disappear in canada?
201:33 People are gonna buy those immediately 950 is that a joke? Linus, how much how much do you Porsche got?
201:41 Ah I can see the video. I can see the video now. Nothing has that much. I can see the video now. I bought a new car
201:50 Linus Sebastian 400
201:54 The the 2023 I can't remember if I have a 2022 or 2023, but they should be the same power
202:01 The 2023 Taycan turbo s 750 to 616 horsepower
202:07 Which increases with launch control to 750
202:12 So this suv would have substantially more horsepower than my stupid
202:19 Taycan Ridiculous, I really like absolutely ridiculous on their dash. I really like kind of how they laid this out
202:27 I know I know there's like other EVs with this to be very very clear. It looks like they have dual
202:32 um Wireless charging pads for phones. I think passenger and driver
202:37 And then I like that just in front of the wheel is actually quite simple
202:42 Um, there are there are lots of other EVs that do that as well
202:45 But sometimes they get a little bit too busy right in front of the wheel and I don't like that
202:49 Keep the infotainment in the middle
202:53 Damn
202:58 Uh youtube is expanding their AI deep fake detection to include politicians government officials and journalists
203:05 That's it. That's all that I really have to say about that. They say they'll still protect parody and satire
203:11 Um that involves these public figures, but yeah, this is this is a good thing
203:15 And they should they should do deep fake detection more and just generally AI detection more and not less
203:23 Also after complaints google will make it easier to disable generative AI search in photos including a toggle for fast classic search
203:32 Nice Nice now what I want to know is where's my good
203:36 fast non AI gmail search Dude, I had a wild interaction with gmail search the other day
203:42 Where I looked for a keyword that I knew for sure was in something recent
203:47 And it wouldn't bring it up It only brought up like one page of results even though there should have been like hundreds of emails with this common word
203:52 And I actually had to use for the first time the gemini
203:56 Gmail search in order to find it and it found it immediately
204:00 But I was just so annoyed with that workflow
204:03 Just just find the word if the email contains the word bring up the email
204:08 How complicated is this google was good at this 10 years ago? Why do they suck at it now?
204:13 All right, I don't exactly shop for cars too often
204:18 But this is cool, man. Is that seriously 50 grand cool configurator. You can like click around and stuff happens
204:25 It won't be here. That's like converted Uh, so there'll still be like extra transportation costs and they'll have to cover their just their operational costs of running in the country
204:34 So I would suspect it'll be closer to like 75 or 80
204:38 Yeah, but not like 150 which is kind of what I would expect for a car that looks like that
204:44 It has those specifications Yeah, buddy
204:48 What if I click space? What does that do? Oh, wow
204:52 Scenarios
204:57 None of the domestics have like Yeah, this is weird
205:01 Did you can see the shocks? I'm sure there's like other again
205:04 I don't exactly buy for new shop for new cars ever, but
205:08 Um That's a cool. That's a cool little thing. They can you can look
205:13 Yeah Just no touch can't wait to buy one on craigslist in 25 years from now. Yeah, it's gonna be sick
205:20 Dude, they have a freaking like what bra?
205:24 Again 50 grand like I the big ones compete with maybach and they're like
205:29 100 grand Can't screw this
205:34 Deville a audio system. So they even ponied up for bougie co branding for their audio
205:40 And still managed to make it this cheap Digital that's wild. Are those legal in canada. I don't think so digital side mirrors. Yeah. Yeah, they might not be
205:47 I don't think so. I don't think they're either The cooler is sweet. You don't have cold water be done. I know
205:55 Anyways, uh enough drooling over that car. Um, what do we got next?
206:00 There's something I think are we done after the topics I think it's after dark. Let's go
206:10 After dark Okay, I've got a few
206:14 Checkout messages for you here
206:17 first up first You really need tall sizes for the gray RGB shirts
206:23 Um second lld. What are your favorite guilty pleasure serving Dan?
206:33 I like that That was really good
206:37 Second up lld. What are your favorite guilty pleasure treats and candies?
206:41 This guy was actually first is the first merge message we received so
206:45 Double first. Oh man. I've got I've got lots of guilty pleasure treats and candies
206:50 I I have a wicked sweet tooth. I remember this one time
206:53 Do you know those uh those like sour strips that are rainbow colored that you could get in like a bulk pack at cosco?
206:59 Yeah, you know the ones i'm talking about I once ate an entire cosco bulk pack of those in a weekend
207:05 eating at my desk Yeah
207:08 We're talking like an actual brick of sugar
207:12 Holy crap Damn
207:15 That's wild Yeah, I I I got it. I've got a sweet tooth
207:20 It takes it takes a lot of discipline for me to eat as little sweets as I do these days as I'm getting older
207:27 I can't I can't do that anymore. My metabolism used to be like
207:32 hyper Now I just I just can't um
207:36 But like oh man. I love me a perfectly toasted marshmallow like
207:42 Oh love that um
207:45 Spicy ramen noodles. That's my like late at night. Oh, yeah
207:50 Oh, just like uh Uh, uh, I'll make let I have eaten in one sitting continuously as many as three packs
208:01 Plus eggs just like nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom after midnight
208:06 um I whoa, this is a bad one. I once ate, you know the dumpsters like
208:13 Kind of like crappy white bread cinnamon raisin bread
208:18 I once ate in one sitting in the middle of the night when I was like craving a midnight snack an entire loaf of it
208:26 Piece by piece. Okay. Okay. I've got a butter. I've got one of those
208:29 Entire loaf of butter. Damn. Okay. All right. Every slice. You might still have me then
208:34 Uh, my like diet when I used to work at the bread factory. So this would have been
208:40 Not way too long before I met you to be honest. Um, yeah
208:45 Was I would bring a can of stag chili to work
208:49 um, and a bowl, but I wouldn't bring any utensils and uh, you know, statue limitations
208:55 Whatever it's probably fine. Uh, they had this policy where like if there was a bag of ruined bread, you could just have it
209:01 So a single bag of bread would just fly out of the facility for some reason and it'd be outside on the ground
209:07 And that's ruined. So then I would eat stag chili with an entire loaf of bread
209:12 And that would be my lunch like every time Um, so I would buy stag with like when my parents would go to Costco
209:20 We'd get just tons of Costco stag chili packs. So they're super cheap
209:25 And then the bread was free and that was my meal that was like I was effectively like one meal a day
209:31 fasting Because I would eat a whole loaf of bread and a can of stag
209:37 Just be like, yeah
209:43 So I lived off that for like a while in terms of guilty pleasures, these are rare, but
209:49 a uh, a long term LTT staple community person mape got me onto these but they're licorice from new zealand called rj's
209:59 Um, and you can find them in stores every once in a while. Um, I know like
210:05 Way back when we worked out of the langley house
210:09 That there was like a grocery store that was near the corner store that was down the street
210:15 I don't know the name of the grocery store, but that grocery store had it. Um
210:20 Oh, what nesters Was it nesters?
210:23 Oh, wait. Oh, I don't remember what grocery store that was. Yeah, I know I've been there
210:27 I went there a few it was more expensive than the save on the save on was just down the hill
210:31 So like I didn't go there that often but there's a couple times
210:36 Um, I have so many more
210:40 I mean, yeah another one that I I really like but I think this might be controversial actually is hawkins
210:46 um Hawkins I've never tried that Hawkins
210:51 cheezies I got a rifle here
210:58 I must have spelled it wrong. Yeah Hawkins cheezies
211:01 It's canadian brand Canadian made thing. Oh, yeah, okay
211:05 Something that I really like is that the ingredients is like pretty chill
211:10 Um, yeah, okay. Not about to say they're good for you. Not about to say they're low calorie
211:15 I don't think they're necessarily either of those but the ingredients list is like relatively short and I can tell what's happening, which is
211:22 neat But yeah, they're canadian
211:26 Brand was Hawkins Yeah, well cheesy. Yeah cheezies with a zed and they're like they're normally the the crunchier
211:34 Kind of like smaller ones. They're not the like big poofy ones. Not the poofs. Yeah, I don't like the poofs
211:39 I like Hawkins That's another one. It's like it's pretty rare, but
211:46 When they're around they're neat my My probably biggest guilty pleasure though has got to be breakfast cereal and I'm talking like like the sugar bombs
211:55 Chocolate frosted sugar bombs type like nest quick
211:58 Uh, honey nut checks. Oh gosh, cinnamon toast crunch. I would
212:04 Something I'm I think I'm fairly lucky for is I liked those when I was a kid
212:07 But now I I genuinely just prefer like muesli
212:11 Like actually just really like it Especially you cut up some banana in it too like
212:19 Um One of my worst ones I I didn't do it once this winter. I made it all the way through the winter without doing this
212:26 But I uh, I will make a cup of hot chocolate
212:31 And then I'll put probably about this much whipped cream on the top of it
212:35 And then I'll get a spoon and I'll Dip it into the hot chocolate and they eat the whipped cream off the top and then I'll hit it again with whipped cream
212:43 All the way down the cup I love whipped cream
212:48 I think it's funny because you you usually eat like quite clean and then
212:53 When when when you dive off the head you just go really hard
212:58 Dude 100%
213:02 100% and like for me as long as I can as long as I can pass a pinch test
213:08 like I'll eat like the dirtiest stuff
213:12 like oh dude But it's for me. It's all about the it's all about the pinch test
213:18 But when I don't pass the pinch test, then I'm extremely disciplined
213:25 Hey DLL love all your videos. I'm interested in a framework 12, but I was seriously turned off by the price of RAM
213:34 Do you guys think that the framework 12 is in trouble unless the price of RAM falls?
213:39 I think everything's in trouble unless the price of RAM falls that's been a
213:43 a major point of discussion in the tech space for the last
213:47 Three to five months. It's it's a it's a major problem. Um
213:53 Yeah, yeah, I think they're in trouble if the price of RAM doesn't fall I
213:58 I hope it's kind of seems like there's
214:03 Signs of cracking in the ai bubble right now. It hasn't you know entered freefall or anything like that
214:09 But isn't oracle stock like way down right now
214:13 Uh, I think everything stock is way down right now
214:18 Yeah, oracle stock is is definitely down
214:21 um, yeah, and I think like because of ai over over
214:29 But ai pressure, uh, that's a big part of the reason that oracles coming down so down three percent today
214:36 Maybe it's coming. Maybe it's coming. Well, I'm not gonna hold my breath today
214:39 They're down like two and a half three percent five days. They're up two and a half three percent one month. They're down
214:45 Three ish percent six months. They're down forty eight point six percent
214:49 so Yeah, if you look at the six month trend things are not looking good. They're up five percent from last year
214:57 Yep Nice nothing matters. Yeah, so so following the ai bubble and then maybe we're maybe we're on the way down
215:05 Hopefully that'd be awesome. I saw a new animal used to describe the stock market
215:10 Apparently we're in a kangaroo market Boing so forget about bears and bulls. It's just
215:16 Up and down. There's the ones that punch you in the face. Yeah, that still seems right. Yep. Absolutely tracks. Yeah
215:24 What's up boys? Luke, how's your fitness journey going would like to know if you tweaked your diet at all lately looking good my boy
215:34 Uh, the last comment's a little surprising. It's not going well. I basically for
215:39 Well, it's all relative Luke. I mean compared to where you started. I think you're still looking pretty good
215:45 Yeah, that's probably I can see where they're coming from. Yeah, I think you see every little imperfection
215:49 But yeah, I'm very frustrated right now basically so okay
215:53 So I was traveling a bunch and was kind of out of the gym because I was still
215:57 Working out when I could like I got a workout in in hong kong
216:03 Uh, like I was I was trying to make things happen I was keeping it going and then I came back and I had this crazy reno that
216:10 Lasted for like over six months So I was inconsistent about my workouts
216:15 Then a crazy reno that went on for a long time where I couldn't really use my kitchen
216:19 So I had like non-prepared meals and no gym time
216:25 for over six months
216:28 Um And that really what are we hearing right now?
216:33 Is that Yvonne's back in the room? Oh, okay. Um, I thought that was local. Sorry. No, you're good. I thought that was local. Um,
216:40 Yep So I I lost a lot of traction there and the big problem that I'm having realistically right now
216:48 Is that old injuries that I had like
216:52 Had under control they weren't dealt with they weren't fixed, but I had them under control are
216:57 now again Again, not in a state that I would consider under control. Um, so like I I
217:09 Have to go up a certain amount of quite a few stairs to take the stairs in my building
217:14 And I try to take the stairs exclusively every time
217:17 Um, and every once in a while that'll kind of throw my knee out a little bit
217:21 And it's just like damn man, like I think a week or two ago
217:25 I literally went up one flight of stairs and my knee was like nope
217:30 And it's just like oh like this this was something that I had completely solved
217:35 Like not that long ago and then just through I and I had talked about this on WAN Show
217:40 I had talked about this with lots of people where I was like no I just have to do this forever and I didn't really think like I knew I was doing stuff
217:46 You know, I'd work around the house. I was traveling whatever like I I didn't it wasn't like laziness that was keeping me out of the gym
217:52 But I didn't go to the gym for a while and my diet went crap
217:56 And that combination I think just brought everything kind of back So I have to go through this like repetitive phase again, which I've been working on I do these like
218:05 Like I don't know what you want to call them these like really weird lunges where you get your knee way over your toe
218:10 Um, and and dude, there's there's a youtuber guy knees over toes guy. I've been following some of his stuff
218:16 That's how I uh, originally fixed my knees was following some of his stuff
218:20 My shoulder. I don't have anything Particular it's just these things that I call side poles. I don't know what they're actually called and hanging
218:27 I do both of those and those help but like my hangs have gotten a lot worse because I wasn't doing them
218:33 And and yeah backwards running like there's lots of different things that I do
218:36 But they're just in a terrible state right now. So I can't like
218:44 It's just very frustrating and I would way rather I know there's like the whole you can't work out a you can't work off a bad diet
218:52 Yeah, but you can really support a much worse diet by doing a lot of activity
218:56 Um, and I would way rather it's not even necessarily that I want to eat junk all the time. I just hate eating very little
219:03 Um, I hate that scenario. I'd rather just be active and then eat like a pretty decent amount
219:09 Um Rotator cuff exercises. Yeah, so my my things are both of my knees, but mostly my right knee, but it's both
219:16 Um, my right shoulder cuff and my lower back on the right hand side
219:21 I got speared there and hockey when I was younger. Um, the back is kind of the least problematic one
219:27 But when it's a problem, um out
219:30 It's like when it when it kind of flares up. I'll be done for like a month. Um, but it's it's it's very
219:38 frustrating I I knew When I was going to go back into the gym my lifts were going to be way lower and that was going to be annoying
219:44 I didn't expect The like actually you can't go you have to go for walks all the time for a while and do these lunch things and do
219:53 This like really boring stuff that has no like measurable improvement. I like number go up
219:58 I don't like oh, maybe I feel better today. I can't really tell that's not very fun
220:03 and it's difficult to be motivating but I just have to do it because I have to get back on track
220:09 So I'm planning about this if I remember correctly. It's like three more weeks
220:12 I'm gonna try to go into the gym
220:17 And try some stuff and I'll start with pretty low weights and be pretty chill
220:21 And just try to see how things feel and I'll probably only do like
220:26 I don't know once or twice a week at the beginning and just try to kind of ease back into it
220:31 But I gotta be careful because I'm dealing with some
220:36 Yeah I have very particular things that I do
220:40 Um, that's fine. We're not necessarily going to be doing the same stuff
220:44 I'm just saying if you want if you want buddies me and jay kwan are there on mondays. Yeah, that's not a bad idea
220:49 Usually I do
220:52 At the end there I was on a weird way to say you're too cool for us No, monday is usually a day that I do monday's usually likes for me
220:58 I like starting the week off with legs because legs takes the most energy
221:03 And it is generally like the least like men don't tend to like doing legs as much
221:09 So I just start with that one Uh, and then yeah, so I used to do
221:14 monday tuesday thursday and then I was shifted to I think it was like monday thursday saturday for a bit there
221:22 But I'll move probably a lot of granularity in the detail here. Yeah, we're we're losing it. But anyways
221:28 It's a little off track, but I'm trying to get back on the tracks and I'm
221:32 Like actually peak frustrated right now, but we'll we'll figure it out
221:36 Now fanboy and z says have you considered glp one, but I think I can probably answer this for you
221:41 Luke's goal is not to Have side effects and take a drug and do it the easy way
221:49 His goal is to be physically fit
221:53 Of which does not necessarily mean the shape
221:56 It means like he wants his strength back. Yeah, I don't actually care that much
222:00 One is a path to that. I don't actually care that much about the the shape
222:04 Obviously, I do a little bit, but like the the goal is that I want to feel capable
222:09 Um, I want to be able to run. I want to be able to jump. I want to be able to sprint
222:12 I want to be able to lift I want to feel capable and feel healthy. That's my by far primary goal
222:20 Ribbit says glp one is not the easy way. So what would be the easy way for weight loss then?
222:28 like are you I'm I'm having a hard time understanding what you think that's the first time I've ever heard that
222:37 It's a head start right which is
222:41 Well, yeah, ribbit says I've been on it for nearly two years and been working my butt off combined with it
222:46 Well, right, but yeah, I mean, that's the exact same relative
222:50 That's the exact same and actually accurate as far as my understanding goes argument of steroids
222:54 Like you don't just become mystery olympia by just taking steroids
222:58 a lot of They will make you they will give you muscle mass just kind of automatically
223:02 But also a big part of is it reduces your recovery time so you can work out more you have to you have to try harder
223:09 It unlocks trying harder um
223:12 yeah Yeah, uh, sorry man. You're over 30. That feels good thing has sailed. No. I actually completely disagreed there. There was like, uh
223:22 Before this happened before the house right now. I was mostly feeling pretty good. I felt strong. Yeah
223:30 Things were doing okay. Obviously, there's gonna be lows, but like there's relative
223:34 I'm speaking relatively and relatively right now. It feels terrible
223:39 Uh, but it also feels a little bit better than it did last week. So like
223:43 Okay, we'll keep going All right, Dan hit me. Hello mental gen the Linux challenges are always interesting to me
223:52 I've been using a fairphone 6 with eos and loving it
223:55 When is the eos or lineage os challenge? Also happy day before pi day
224:02 I would actually love to look at lineage os again
224:07 I'm gonna i'm gonna put it on the list. It's been on the list for a long time, but i'm gonna i'm gonna surface that in my inbox
224:13 lineage os is um Is
224:18 Is such a cool idea to me In theory as a way to
224:23 Squeeze way more life out of older Android devices and i'd love to see
224:28 Now that we have five-year-old phones that are totally still good enough hardware wise to daily
224:35 Uh, but maybe aren't getting software support anymore. I'd I'd love to take a crack at it again
224:42 Yeah, I used to run it. It's awesome Um, last one I got for you here. Hey one pointed question. Uh, oh you said it's awesome and used to
224:51 Why do you stop it wasn't available on my more recent phones?
224:55 Got it. It's only available on some very specific models
224:59 Seems like a fair enough answer. I'm so sorry. It's not a nice place. Yeah, uh, a lot of these are
225:05 Specific phones and I don't generally go for the generics
225:08 but I do always try and buy the ones that have unlocked bootloaders for the future
225:14 In case someone makes one in 10 years so that they can keep working
225:18 Last one. Hey DLL just hit my 30s careers peaking and my gf and I keep getting the
225:26 When's the wedding questions any advice for this stage of life anything you wish you knew in your early 30s
225:34 sleep I've wrecked my I've wrecked myself honestly. Apparently you're supposed to work out with steroids. I'm just hearing this now
225:42 I gotta I gotta talk to my dealer. Don't work out with steroids. Just come work out. Um
225:49 Sleep
225:52 I think that's the main piece of advice that I needed and I still need I still need that advice
225:56 I'm not doing very good at this. Yeah, I got nothing for you
226:01 I don't know if any of my advice is going to be that applicable. I did my I did my early 30s in my early to mid 20s
226:09 just like Went from well, I'm in high school now. I'm supposed to go to university. Well, I'm in university now
226:16 I'm supposed to get a career while I'm in a career now. I'm supposed to get married while I'm married now
226:19 I'm supposed to have a kid Now I have a kid. Uh, okay. Let's let's complete the set. Let's get the family going. Oh, I'm gonna start a business
226:29 I was just like go go go go go go go go and uh, there's a lot of arguments to be made that that is not
226:36 The right for every right choice for everyone. So
226:40 Yeah You know, definitely, you know for me partnering up was critical to my success
226:49 um But you know, I fully recognize that you know, if if if the wedding is not, you know,
226:56 Right or the timing is not right for you. Then that's you know, that's your choice. You got to be
