You
What
Um
What's up everybody
And welcome to the WAN show
We got a great show for you lined up this week
Oh man the big controversy
Intel
Accuses AMD of misleading
Branding
Wow this is like the pot
Calling the kettle the same color
As the
Phone that is off
I was gonna go for something else
The point is
Really you guys
Alright so we'll be talking about that
We're also gonna be talking about
The other big scandal this week
The LTT backpack
Does it have two layers on the bottom
No
No
And we're gonna tell you guys
How we're dealing with that
What else we got Luke
Twitch leaves South Korea
Just entirely
They're gone
All the Twitch streamers
Have to cancel their contracts
Yeah what's up with that
I mean like
It's
Gaming is so popular
In that country
Like how
How are you gonna
You're just gonna smoothly
Move your mouse
You can't
Anymore
Did you just hit your face
On your mic
I was just gonna say
That made me face
Like air so hard
That I literally
Hit the mic
That was awesome
What else we got
I didn't think you were going there
Also honestly
I had one that I was gonna shout out
But I don't even want to
Cause I don't find it as interesting
As a lot of other people do
Which seems like a role reversal
But it's not
23andMe
Just doesn't feel like
Getting sued
Yeah
They don't want to
Yeah
They should just be able to
Like breach your data
And like you shouldn't
See them
Yeah they'd rather not
Cool
Oh yeah
The show's brought to you by
Vessi
Thorum
And signal wire
I think
That's what it was
Right
Good job Linus
Why don't we jump right into
Our first topic for this week
Intel
Accuses AMD
Of misleading branding
Yeah
I had someone
That was all
Like Linus
You shouldn't pound on the desk
And I didn't remember
Until after I had already
Done it a couple times
So I did two more
For good measure
And then that's it
For the rest of the show
Intel posted a new
Marketing presentation
Depicting AMD
As a sleazy car salesman
An old timey
Snake oil salesman
I tried my best
To do voices
That sounded like those things
It was alright
Before removing the slideshow
From its website
After it was spotted
And commented on
By several news outlets
Shout out
Shout out
WCCF tech
Who has made most
Of the presentation
Available
And in it
Intel
Dramatically presents
Four
This is amazing
Core truths
They're punny
That supposedly reveal
Misleading marketing
On the part
On the part
Of AMD
Number one
Ryzen processors
Use a chip
Architecture
Released in
2019
But the first
Number in the
Chip SKU
Refers to the
Year it was
Released
Not the
Chip generation
Sorry
What
What are you even
What are you even
Talking about
Anyway
Hold on
Hold on
Hidden in plain sight
Okay
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Okay
Here
Here
Okay
So here's a couple
Of slides from
The thing
I don't know
There's no way
This is an actual
Slide from the thing
I actually
I hadn't seen
This part yet
Okay
Anyway
Snake oil one
Yeah that's amazing
The main
The main part
Here we go
There we go
Yes
This is
This is the main
Thing
Okay
So the number
Here indicates
The year that
It was released
Traditionally
This has been
The generation
Number
And that
That's true
Of Intel
That's true
Of AMD
That's true
Of Nvidia
That's true
Of basically
Everybody
Here's the next
Number in AMD's
Sort of naming
Scheme
The market segment
So one is
Athlon silver
Two is Athlon gold
And then it goes
Ryzen 3
Ryzen 3
More different
A couple of
Ryzen 5's
And then a Ryzen 7
Then there's
Architecture
So one is
Zen 1
And Zen Plus
2 is Zen 2
3 is Zen 3
And Zen 3
Plus 4 is Zen 4
5 is Zen 5
Etc
Zero is
Feature isolation
Lower model
Upper model
And then U
Is your like
TDP modifier
And this is still
Quite similar to
What Intel does
On their side
And I mean
I think AMD
Basically just
Piggybacked on that
So that it's
Pretty clear
You know
Okay
U is a low
Power skew
Or whatever
The case may be
I don't
I don't really
Sorry
The bullet points
Are a little bit
More challenging
Anyway
The point is
WCCF Tech
Has compared
The presentation
To Intel's
2019 real world
Performance marketing
Push
Where Intel
Used
Allegedly
Cherry picked
Benchmarks
To attack AMD
And meanwhile
PC Gamer
Has called back
To Intel's
2015 Skylake
Architecture
Which Intel
Rebadged twice
And sold
All the way
From 6th
To 10th
Gen
There's actually
Okay
They've never
Actually rebranded
Those
Honestly though
There are so
Many more
Examples of this
And my questions
For Intel
Are multifold
From all three
Brands
Nvidia's done it
Too
Yeah
One
Why exactly
Did you choose
To bring this
Up at all
And two
Why did you
Choose to
Bring it up
Now
To be clear
I agree
We actually
Had a video
Planned
Talking about
Exactly this
And not just
About AMD
Obviously
Because AMD
Intel
Nvidia
Basically everyone
That I can
Think of
Has engaged
In some
Kind of
Obfuscation
In their
Product naming
Scheme
That makes
It extremely
Difficult to
Figure out
If what you're
Looking at
Is a truly
New product
Or if it's
Something that
Has simply
Been rebadged
In some
Way
They also
Change
Schemes
Very often
To the
Point where
If you're
Someone who
I would
Wager that
The average
Computer person
At this point
In time
Is someone
Who's building
And or
Upgrading
Their pc
Every three
To five
Years
That's my
Assumption
Not less
Than that
Maybe
More often
More than
That
But probably
About five
Years
Throw a new
GPU in there
At least
Something like
That
Those type
Of people
Are going to
Have to
Redial in
Every time
They do
An upgrade
Every single
Time
Paying a lot
Of attention
In between
There
Yep
They're just
Oh yeah
New modern
Game slow
Want new
Better power
And a lot
Of the time
The changes
Are just
Arbitrary
They're fairly
Subtle
And they're
Arbitrary
Enough that
You can't
Really tell
What's going
Why did
We go
From 2700k
To 3770k
Why
I can't
Think of
A good
Reason
Nope
Why did
We go
From
Oh man
What was
The one
That
Okay
Broadwell
Was sort
Of a weird
One
We'll give
We'll give
Them a pass
On that
One
Why did
We go
From
Oh man
What was
That super
Weird thing
That they
Did
Back when
They still
Had the
HEDT
Products
Those were
Not super
Clearly
Denoted
I mean
Okay
More recently
I think
There was
Some justification
For this
But intel
Just
Rebadged
Their
Manufacturing
Processes
They were
Like oh
Yeah
We're not
Going to
Call it
However
Many
Nanometer
Anymore
We're
Just
Going to
Call it
Like
Intel
7
And
That's
Because
Our
Competitors
Are
You know
Well
They're
Actually
The ones
Who are
Not being
Entirely
Forthright
About
How
Large
The
Individual
Elements
Of
Their
Manufacturing
Are
And
We're
Actually
More
Comparable
To what
They're
Branding
As 7
Nanometer
Anyway
So we're
Just
Going to
Like
Change it
What
What
What
Was
I
Think
10
Nanometer
Got
Renamed
To
Intel
7
I'm
Just
Going to
Double
Check
That
To
Intel
7
Yes
Yeah
Intel
10
Nanometer
Enhanced
Superfin
Was
Renamed
To
Intel
7
With
The
Justification
Being
That
It
Was
More
Similar
In
Density
To
TSMC
7
Nanometer
Node
And
That
May
Actually
Be
True
I
Wouldn't
Be
Able
To
Tell
You
I'm
Not
A
Scientist
But
In
Terms
Of
Rebranding
Things
To
Change
Perception
Intel
Has
Done
This
As
Recently
As
When
Was
This
July
Of
2021
That
Was
Two
Years
Ago
And
In
That
Case
It
Was
Not
About
Changing
The
Perception
With
Individual
Users
That
Was
About
Changing
The
Perception
With
Shareholders
Because
There
Was
This
Belief
However
Founded
Or
Unfounded
It
Might
Be
That
Intel
Was
Having
Trouble
Progressing
Through
Their
Manufacturing
Nodes
And
So
They
Were
Like
Uh
Okay
I
Know
It
Took
Us
A
Really
Long
Time
To
Go
From
14
To
10
But
Like
Look
How
Fast
We
Went
From
10
To
7
All
We
Did
Was
Change
The
Boom
And
Now
It's
Intel
7
Let's
Go
I
Mean
Not
Only
That
But
Yeah
Floatplane
Chat
Brings
Up
That
Intel's
14th
Gen
Processors
Are
Almost
I
Mean
This
One
Of
Those
Tough
Things
To
Talk
About
Because
I
Underestimated
Talking
To
Actual
Engineers
At
Intel
I
Underestimated
How
Much
Work
Went
Into
All
The
14
Nanometer
Plus
Plus
Plus
And
Squeezing
Those
However
Small
Generational
Improvements
Out
Of
Them
So
I
Don't
Want
To
Be
Down
On
The
Actual
Engineers
What
I
Do
Want
To
Be
Down
On
Is
The
Branding
That
Goes
On
Around
Them
So
Yeah
Intel's
14th
Gen
Probably
Some
Real
Work
Went
Into
Those
From
The
Engineering
Teams
And
I
Want
To
Give
Respect
To
Them
For
That
But
On
The
Other
Hand
They
Shouldn't
Be
Called
14th
Gen
Instead
Of
A
13
900
K
That
Should
Be
A
13
900
Well
I
Mean
The
14
900
K
Should
Just
Be
13
900
K
S
Because
That's
Basically
What
It
Is
But
But
Call
It
13
95
K
Or
13
950
K
Or
Something
Like
That
Treat
It
In
Your
Branding
Like
The
Incremental
Basically
Same
Generation
Improvement
That
It
Is
Like
It's
At
Least
To
Intel's
Credit
This
Time
Around
They
Didn't
Pull
One
Of
These
Refreshes
And
Then
Tell
Us
To
Push
A
New
Motherboard
Chipset
Or
Something
Like
That
I
Actually
Don't
Know
The
Reasoning
For
That
But
You
Know
At
Least
Hey
We
Can
Use
Our
Existing
12th
Gen
13th
Gen
Motherboard
For
These
14th
Gen
CPUs
But
Man
AMD's
Is
Really
Bad
I
Can't
Let
Any
Of
This
Dunking
On
Intel
Distract
From
That
AMD's
Naming
Scheme
Is
Awful
The
Fact
That
First
Number
With
Which
It
Was
Released
When
You
Could
Be
Buying
A
Zen
2
Chip
With
That
7000
At
The
Beginning
Or
I
Mean
For
All
I
Know
They
Might
Keep
Recycling
Zen
2
Chips
For
You
Know
Entry
Level
Products
For
Years
To
Come
So
You
Could
Be
Buying
A
9000
Series
Processor
With
Like
That
Uses
Zen
2
Architecture
Course
That
Is
Awful
And
Goes
Completely
Against
The
Established
Naming
Schemes
Across
Basically
The
Entire
Industry
Except
That
AMD
Does
Actually
Have
A
Precedent
For
This
Epic
Is
Named
This
Way
They
Are
7000
I
Don't
Think
I
Ever
Actually
Realized
That
Yeah
Epic
Is
Named
This
Way
And
Shoot
I
Had
Another
One
In
My
Mind
That
I
Could
Think
Of
From
Someone
Other
Than
AMD
That
Actually
Worked
Kind
Of
Like
This
Yeah
I
Can't
Yeah
I
Don't
I
Don't
Like
It
And
The
Bigger
Problem
Is
That
AMD
Doesn't
Have
Any
Consistency
Across
Their
Product
Portfolios
They're
Not
Doing
This
On
GPU
They're
Not
Doing
This
On
Desktop
CPU
And
AMD
Has
Been
Pulling
These
Shenanigans
With
Their
Mobile
Chips
One
Of
The
One
Of
The
One
They
Did
Recently
Was
They
Just
You
Skipped
A
Generation
Of
Numbers
To
Make
The
I
Forget
If
It
Was
Zen
Two
When
They
Were
Shipping
Zen
Three
Desktop
Or
If
It
Was
Zen
One
When
They
Were
Shipping
Zen
Two
Desktop
I
Can't
Remember
But
Basically
They
Were
Just
Like
Oh
Yeah
Now
This
Is
Like
You
Know
Another
Number
Ahead
Or
Like
They
Just
Played
Catch
Up
To
Bring
Them
To
Parody
And
Then
They
Fixed
It
Later
But
Now
They're
Breaking
It
Even
More
Do you
Feel
Like
This
Is
Just
Like
A
Bad
Reaction
To
The
Whole
Moore's
Law
Is
Dead
Thing
I
Think
That
There's
A
Degree
Of
That
I
Think
That
Marketing
Departments
Are
Trying
To
Figure
Out
How
To
Make
Things
Seem
Shiny
And
New
I
Mean
I
Think
I
Talked
Before
On
The
Show
About
How
One
Of
The
Most
Effective
Ways
For
Us
To
Sell
Water
Bottles
On
Getting
People
To
Like
The
Key
In
Marketing
Is
Just
Getting
People
To
Look
At
Your
Site
Look
At
Your
Brand
Talk
About
Your
Brand
It
Is
Almost
A
Fixed
Function
The
Number
Of
People
That
You
Can
Drive
To
Page
Views
On
Your
Website
To
Sales
And
It
Doesn't
Matter
As
Far
As
I
Can
Tell
It
Doesn't
Matter
What
Those
People
Came
To
The
Site
For
It
Doesn't
Matter
Which
Page
You
Land
Them
On
It
Doesn't
Matter
If
They
Just
Came
There
Out
Of
Drinking
Hater
Raid
Somewhere
And
Being
Like
I
Want
To
See
How
Bad
This
Site
Is
They
Just
Track
They
Just
Track
Together
So
Launching
Anything
It
Generates
A
News
Cycle
It
Generates
Press
Coverage
From
People
Who
Otherwise
Might
Not
Talk
About
You
It
Gets
People
Even
If
It's
Not
Something
New
It
Gets
People
Individuals
Talking
About
It
And
So
It's
One
Of
The
Most
Effective
Things
You
Can
Do
So
Marketing
Departments
Are
Always
Looking
For
These
Free
W's
Where
They
Don't
Have
To
Come
Up
With
A
Really
Catchy
Campaign
Or
Slogan
Or
Jingle
They
Don't
They
Don't
Have
To
Give
Away
Some
Margin
In
The
Product
By
Running
A
Promotion
They
Just
Launch
One
And
That's
Another
Thing
To
Speaking
Of
Margin
In
The
Product
So
Okay
Why
Didn't
Intel
Just
Keep
Shipping
13th
Gen
Why
Don't
They
Just
Keep
13th
Gen
Why
Bother
With
14th
Gen
Well
I'll
Explain
That
Because
13th
Gen
Is
Getting
To
The
End
Of
Its
Life
Cycle
The
End
Of
Its
Perceived
Relevancy
People
Expect
A
New
CPU
Kind
Of
Every
Year
And
So
Intel
Is
Discounting
It
Doing
Bundles
You
Know
Black
Friday
Or
Whatever
You
Could
Get
Deals
Well
Here's
The
Thing
Especially
Now
In
The
Age
Of
Price
Tracking
Browser
Extensions
There
Is
An
Expectation
That
Things
Get
Cheaper
Especially
In
The
Computer
Industry
Where
It
Is
A
To
Zero
Toward
The
End
Of
Their
Lifespan
And
Once
Things
Are
Cheaper
Well
That's
What
They're
Worth
If
You
Try
To
Raise
The
Price
You
Will
Immediately
And
Then
You
Run
A
Promo
Again
You
Will
Immediately
Be
Accused
Of
Jacking
Up
The
Price
So
You
Can
Pretend
It's
A
Promo
So
What
They
Do
Which
Unfortunately
Is
A
Thing
That
Does
Happen
So
There's
A
Reason
Why
People
Would
Accuse
You
On
So
What
You
Do
Is
You
Take
Your
Old
Product
And
You
Bring
Down
The
Price
Slowly
And
Then
You
Go
Okay
That's
Gone
Or
Now
It's
At
This
New
Price
Point
But
We
Have
New
Product
Doesn't
Matter
Necessarily
To
The
Average
User
Who
Just
Wants
To
Build
A
Gaming
PC
And
All
They
Know
Is
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Rambling
You
Know
Rant
But
Realistically
I
Made
Far
More
Sense
Than
Intel
Did
So
It's
A low
Bar
Basically
If
You're
Going
To
Call
This
Out
Then
Intel
Here's
My
Challenge
To
You
Introduce
A
Naming
Scheme
That's
Better
Go
Back
To
Basics
What
The
Is
Going
On
With
Your
Server
Products
For
Example
What
Even
Is
Gold
And
Silver
I
Do
Not
Understand
Their
Product
Naming
Scheme
For
Those
They
Went
From
Something
That
Was
Relatively
Easy
To
Understand
Where
They
Just
Had
A
Generation
And
Then
They
Had
Numbers
That
Kind
Of
Denoted
Where
They
Fit
Within
The
Product
Stack
And
Then
They
Just
Brought
In
This
Like
Gold
Silver
Platinum
And
Like
The
Stupid
Thing
The
Stupid
Thing
About
Any
Naming
Scheme
That
Includes
Good
Better
Best
Or
Includes
Because
Technically
Bronze
Is
Part
Of
It
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Is
That
No
Company
Is
Ever
Going
To
Want
To
Call
Any
Of
Their
Product
Third
Place
Yeah
So
Bronze
Functionally
Doesn't
Exist
Silver
Gets
Used
Very
Sparingly
Gold
Becomes
Just
Basic
And
Then
Platinum
Is
Reserved
For
You
Know
The
Actual
High
End
Stuff
It's
The
S
And
S
Plus
And
Triple
S
Of
The
And
Then
As
Soon
As
They
Refresh
Something
Or
Bring
In
A
New
Product
They
Have
To
Create
New
Tiers
Of
Platinum
So
They
Have
To
You
Know
Add
Platinum
Platinum
XT
A
Platinum
Extreme
Platinum
Plus
I
Just
It's
Just
Exhausting
You
Already
Had
Why
Did
You
Confuse
All
Of
This
Diamond
Indium
Thank
You
Herp
J1
Over
In
Float
Plane
Chat
And
Top
Gear
1224
Says
My
View
Is
That
You
Need
Laws
To
Prevent
The
Smoke
And
Mirror
Stuff
But
Honestly
I
Don't
Know
How
You
Would
Do
It
How
You
Have
To
Have
An
Individual
Law
For
Like
Every
Single
Product
Category
In
Existence
And
Almost
For
Every
Company
And
You
Would
Need
To
Deal
With
The
Fact
That
There
Are
Going
To
Be
Legitimate
Reasons
Why
They
Might
Have
To
Change
These
Naming
Schemes
You
Know
Intel
Our
AMD
Might
Say
Hey
Look
We
Have
To
Refresh
The
7970
Is
That
The
One
Which
One
Did
They
Refresh
The
Most
Times
The
R
R9
290
We
Have
To
Refresh
The
290
Again
We've
Already
Gone
295
And
297
We
Can't
Keep
Just
Splitting
The
Difference
Between
That
And
Like
Two
Two
Or
300
Because
We
Started
With
Nine
So
That's
What
That's
What
Microsoft
Blamed
There
Being
No
Windows
Nine
On
Right
Didn't
They
I
Don't
Remember
The
Internal
Version
Ran
Over
Windows
8.9
Or
Something
Yeah
So
They
Ran
Into
The
Nines
Already
And
They
Were
Like
Uh
Oh
Which
Sounds
Like
That
Must
Have
But
If
I
That
Was
Their
Explanation
Didn't
Microsoft
Figure
That
Out
Way
Back
In
The
Windows
3
Era
3.11
Yeah
Can't
You
Just
Add
Another
Thing
I
Don't
Know
I
I
Think
It
Was
Like
A
Whole
Major
Versioning
Thing
Whatever
I
Don't
Remember
All
The
News
About
It
It
Was
A
While
A
But
Like
Yeah
That
Was
A
Yikes
Yeah
Maybe
We
Do
Need
To
Do
This
Video
Because
There's
Also
Other
Issues
I
Have
Railed
Against
This
Before
But
I
Get
So
Frustrated
With
The
Way
That
Apple
Has
Led
The
Charge
In
Confusing
Product
Naming
And
The
Thing
That
Bothers
Me
Most
About
Apple
As
Usual
Is
That
They
Know
Better
Apple
Names
The
iPhone
Very
Clearly
Mostly
I
Mean
You
Get
It
Start
Getting
Into
Max
And
You
Know
Max
Plus
And
Sort
Of
All
That
Stuff
It
Can
Get
A
Little
Bit
Overwhelming
Remember
I'm
Talking
From
Like
A
Normie
Perspective
Obviously
If
You're
If
You're
Looking
At
Reviews
And
You're
Comparing
Benchmarks
None
Of
This
Matters
Because
At
The
End
Of
The
Day
It
Comes
Down
To
Like
FPS
Per
Dollar
Calculation
The
Model
Number
Is
Irrelevant
But
What's
Frustrating
About
Apple
Is
They
Know
They
Know
How
To
Do
This
iPhone
15
iPhone
12
And
The
Higher
Number
Generally
Speaking
Is
More
Processor
More
Better
With
That
Said
Actually
Now
That
I
Think
About
It
The
iPhone
15
Pro
Is
The
Only
One
That
Got
The
New
Chip
The
iPhone
15
Non
Pro
Got
A
Recycled
Chip
From
The
Last
Generation
And
That
Now
That
I
Think
Of
It
A
Perfect
Example
Of
Exactly
What
We're
Talking
About
Here
Where
An
Established
Naming
Convention
Just
Went
Out
The
Window
The
Second
That
It
Became
Inconvenient
For
Them
To
Market
Their
Product
By
Continuing
To
Use
It
So
It's
Like
Well
Um
Nope
We
Have
To
We
Have
People
Need
To
Know
That
This
Is
The
New
One
For
This
Year
Even
If
We
Didn't
Update
Some
Stuff
About
It
So
Hey
There
You
Go
Um
Okay
Apparently
Yeah
No
Okay
Fourteen
Also
Had
Some
There
Was
There
Was
Some
Precedent
For
This
With
The
Fourteen
Generation
As
Well
My
Point
Still
Stands
That
It
Has
Changed
Over
The
Lifespan
Of
The
iPhone
As
A
Product
Line
But
You
Go
Into
Their
Other
Product
Lines
And
It
Gets
Way
More
Confusing
If
You
Talking
About
Yeah
There
Are
At
Least
Four
Products
That
I
Can
Think
Of
You
Could
Be
Talking
About
The
Ancient
Cheese
Grader
From
Like
2007
2008
The
Trash
Can
You
Could
Be
Talking
About
The
Trash
Can
From
2013
I
Think
It
Was
Something
Like
That
You
Could
Be
Talking
About
The
Updated
Cheese
Grader
With
An
Intel
Processor
From
A
Few
Years
Back
Or
You
Could
Be
Talking
About
The
New
M2
Based
Cheese
Grader
All
Of
Which
Are
Fundamentally
Different
Machines
Very
Very
If
I
Were
To
Search
For
Something
Like
Mac
Pro
GPU
Upgrade
The
Answer
Could
Be
Anything
From
Slot
In
A
Card
As
Long
As
It
Has
Apple
Compatible
Drivers
To
Oh
My
God
Get
Ready
To
Do
GPU
Surgery
Assuming
You
Could
Even
Find
A
Replacement
Part
Or
An
Upgrade
It
Just
Everything
2006
To
2012
Mac
Pro
2019
GPU
GPU
Mac
2
Pro
Yeah
Yeah
I did the exact
Search
Go back to your
Screen
Go back to your
Screen
Because
This
Is
It
The
Crazy
Part
Is
Look
Spotted
Tango
There
Upgrading
The
Mac
Pro
5.1
Apple
Has
They
Have
Internal
Sorry
I
Did
It
Again
They
Have
Internal
Numbering
Schemes
For
This
Stuff
But
They
Don't
Unless
You
Go
Into
Whatever
Whatever
It's
Called
On
A
Mac
The
System
Information
Tab
Thing
Unless
You
Go
There
It's
Not
Obvious
Like
You
Go
On
The
Product
Page
And
They're
Not
They're
Not
Like
Yeah
This
Is
The
5.2
Rev
Of
The
Hardware
It's
So
Frustrating
It's
Pretty
Annoying
When
You
Work
In
Customer
Service
Customer
Support
IT
Style
Situations
When
You're
Working
What
Time
Of
Year
It
Could
Be
Anything
I
Don't
I
Don't
Really
Remember
I
Just
Know
I
Bought
It
In
That
Year
It's
Like
Well
And
You
Know
What
I've
I've
Noticed
There's
There's
A group
Of
People
That
Thinks
That
I'm
I
Hate
Apple
Or
Something
Because
I'm
Always
Ranting
About
Them
The
Reason
That
I
Rant
About
Apple
So
Much
Is
Because
The
Rest
Of
The
Industry
Phone
Manufacturers
Are
Going
To
Immediately
Start
Doing
It
Like
Look
At
Stupid
Holes
In
Displays
Notches
Like
Why
Yeah
This
Was
Actually
Fine
Before
Look
Look
Exhibit
A
Hold
On
A
Second
I'm
Just
Gonna
Make
Sure
I
Have
Something
Non
Incriminating
Up
The
Galaxy
Note
9
Which
Has
A
Tiny
Tiny
Little
Bezel
At
The
Top
Which
Is
Fine
I
Don't
Actually
Need
A
Hole
In
My
Display
But
Apple
Went
And
Was
Like
Yeah
I
Mean
This
Seems
Fine
I
Don't
Know
F**k
It
And
Then
Everyone
Else
Was
Like
Oh
Okay
Well
I
Guess
This
Is
Okay
Now
Because
Realistically
They're
The
Big
Fish
That
Everyone
Is
Chasing
So
What
Are
They
Going
To
Do
If
We
Do
This
Buy
An
Apple
Got
Em
It's
Frustrating
Man
It's
Frustrating
Yeah
Headphone
Jack
Yeah
Okay
Floatplane
Chat
Floatplane
Chat
Real
Yeah
F
F
To
Pay
Respect
To
The
Headphone
I
Used
My
Headphone
Jack
The
Other
Day
And
I
Was
Like
Wow
I
Forgot
How
Much
The
AirPods
Pros
Sound
Like
S**t
I
Plugged
My
IE600
In
Cause
I
Was
Just
Like
Yeah
You
Know
What
I'm
Going
To
Be
Doing
This
For
A
While
I
Don't
Mind
Cable
Managing
Myself
All
You
Know
Down
My
Shirt
Like
Like
I
Used
To
Like
Plugged
It
In
Put
In
My
Pocket
And
I
Was
Like
Immediately
It's
Like
Jamming
Out
I'm
Like
Yeah
This
Is
So
Much
Better
I
Forgot
About
This
Oh
That
Sucks
People
Are
Saying
F
For
The
Headphone
Jack
Headphone
Jack
I
Said
It
Out
Loud
Luke
You
Were
Just
Tuned
Out
Because
You
Don't
Care
What
I
Have
To
Say
No
But
I'm
Still
Surprised
People
Yeah
Anyways
Anyway
Dan
Says
We're
Supposed
To
Move
On
To
The
Next
Top
So
Why
Don't
We
Get
Into
Our
Big
Controversy
Which
Is
Of
Course
What
Happened
Last
Week
Here
On
The
Show
When
Embarrassingly
I
Cut
Open
One
Of
Our
Backpacks
Thinking
That
The
Bottom
Layer
Was
Two
Layers
Because
It's
Supposed
To
Be
Just
In
Case
It
Wears
Out
And
It
In
Fact
Was
As
It
Appeared
To
Be
On
The
Show
Only
One
Layer
I
Didn't
Want
To
Give
An
Answer
Last
Week
Because
You
Know
What
Honestly
I'm
Just
Tired
Of
Saying
Things
And
Figure
Out
Exactly
What's
Going
On
And
Deliver
A
Clear
And
Concise
Statement
So
I
Was
Like
Nope
I'm
Actually
Not
Going
To
Speculate
About
This
There
Is
Stuff
That
I
Knew
Already
Last
Week
People
Were
Speculating
Maybe
It
Was
Double
The
Thickness
Or
Something
Like
That
Guys
I
Knew
It
Wasn't
Double
The
Thickness
It's
Very
It's
Very
Obvious
But
I
Just
Didn't
Want
To
Talk
About
It
Yet
I
Wanted
To
Give
The
Team
Time
To
Do
Their
Work
So
That
I
Could
Come
To
You
Guys
With
A
Very
Clear
Message
For
How
We're
Going
To
Deal
With
This
And
We
Do
Have
A
Plan
So
A
Newsletter
Went
Out
Today
To
People
Who
Own
The
Backpack
If
You
Haven't
Got
It
Shoot
I
Don't
Know
What
The
Best
Way
For
You
To
Get
It
Backpack
Bottom
Layer
Update
On
The
Site
On
Monday
Let's
Make
Sure
That
That's
Up
There
So
That
People
Can
Get
Access
To
It
If
They
Didn't
For
Whatever
Reason
Get
It
Otherwise
Check
Your
Spam
This
Is
There's
A lot
Of
Rules
Around
What
Kind
Of
Email
We're
Allowed
To
Send
Out
Before
It's
Considered
Unsolicited
Whatever
This
Should
Come
Through
Because
This
Is
A
Product
Update
But
Stuff
Happens
Sometimes
Email
Is
Black
Magic
As
Far
As
I
Can
Tell
And
This
Is
One
Of
Those
Things
That
Could
Be
Taken
Out
Of
Context
Sending
One
Email
Is
Easy
Sending
Tens
Of
Thousands
Of
Emails
Is
Actually
Far
More
Complicated
Than
You
Probably
Realize
Unless
You've
Ever
Tried
To
Do
It
So
The
Newsletter
Went
Out
Today
Our
Team
Will
Be
Contact
All
Backpack
Buyers
Next
Week
With
Next
Steps
Okay
Apparently
You
Don't
Need
To
Do
Anything
Because
We
Will
Contact
You
Wait
Where's
The
What
Are
Looking
For
I'm
Looking
For
The
Newsletter
So
I
Can
Talk
Through
What
We're
Doing
In
Your
Email
Oh
All right
That
Makes
Sense
I
Got
You
One
Moment
Please
Hey
Test
I
Was
Solving
All
This
Before
The
Show
All
Right
So
Here
It
Is
The
Trust
Me
Bro
Update
On
The
Backpack
Oh
It's
Already
Up
Apparently
I
Didn't
See
It
On
The
Site
So
It
Might
Have
Gone
Up
Like
Literally
Now
Yeah
If
Posted
To
The
Subreddit
In
Particular
About
How
Our
Backpack
Has
Performed
Under
Pressure
Other
Than
That
It
Looks
Like
This
It
Was
Still
Functioning
Perfectly
I
Think
Some
Of
The
Zippers
Were
Getting
A
Little
Bit
Rough
I
Mean
They're
YKK
Water
Resistant
Zippers
There's
Not
Really
Much
We
Can
Do
Beyond
That
In
Terms
Of
Material
Selection
So
There's
Nothing
About
It
That
By
Design
Was
Bad
Okay
Hold
On
Hold
On
I
Just
Disclaim
Everything
Okay
Yes
The
Carabiner
Issue
I
Do
Have
An
Update
For
You
Guys
On
That
As
Well
Manufacturing
Is
Going
Well
We
Are
Going
To
Be
Contacting
People
I
Think
Over
The
Next
Don't
Quote
Me
On
This
But
I
Need
To
Check
My
Doc
To
Get
The
Your
Float
Plane
Chat
Is
Paused
By
The
I
Got
To
Where's
The
Carabiner
Update
Dang
It
Control
F
Why
You
Know
Work
Hey
There
We
Go
Anyone
With
Broken
Carabiners
Our
Goal
Is
To
Prioritize
The
Impacted
Buyers
First
So
The
People
With
Broken
Carabiners
We're
Going
To
Send
Out
An
Email
Later
This
Month
To
Start
A
Priority
List
For
Carabiner
Replacements
And
We'll
Get
You
All
Taking
Care
Of
As
As
We
Can
So
We're
On
That
In
The
Backpack
Update
So
You're
Going
To
Read
It
In
A
Second
Anyways
Oh
Cool
I
Should
Just
Not
Get
Ahead
Of
Myself
Linus
Was
Showing
Off
Some
Of
The
Amazing
Advertised
Features
Of
The
Bag
The
Reinforced
Top
Handle
The
Strong
Recycled
Reprieve
Material
Then
Disaster
Struck
Oh
Funny
He
Attempted
To
Show
Off
The
Dual
Layer
Bottom
Panel
Which
We
Included
To
Avoid
Any
Situation
Where
The
Bag
Might
Wear
Through
The
Bottom
Panel
After
Years
Of
Use
But
When
He
Cut
Through
It
There
Was
Only
One
Layer
We
Were
Devastated
And
We
Know
Many
Of
In
A
Nutshell
After
Many
Rounds
Of
Sampling
Of
This
Product
There
Was
Yep
One
Of
Our
Suppliers
Designers
Saw
The
Dual
Layer
In
The
Pattern
While
They
Were
Making
Adjustments
To
A
Sample
File
Thought
It
Was
A
Mistake
And
Removed
It
This
Change
Wasn't
Caught
By
Our
Project
Leads
At
The
Supplier
And
Wasn't
Discovered
By
Our
Team
When
The
Sample
Arrived
Probably
Because
I
Took
That
Sample
And
Started
Using
It
Immediately
To
Wear
Test
It
If
I
Had
To
Guess
Actually
That's
Not
In
Here
But
That's
Probably
What
Makes
Sense
Yeah
Everything
Else
About
It
Was
Great
The
Sample
Was
Approved
And
This
Is
The
Version
Of
The
Bag
That
Went
To
Production
So
You
Can
See
Here
Here
Here's
What
Our
Sample
Looked
Like
So
We
Just
Cut
It
Open
For
This
Investigation
Here
And
Here's
What
The
Production
Bag
Looks
Like
So
We're
Super
Frustrated
But
We
Consider
Ourselves
Very
Trustworthy
Bros
When
We
Make
Mistakes
Like
Not
Double
Checking
The
Work
And
We
Advertise
A
Feature
Then
There's
No
Path
Forward
For
Us
But
To
Take
Responsibility
So
Here's
The
Plan
Guys
We
Already
Offer
A
Robust
Limited
Lifetime
Warranty
On
All
Of
Our
Backpacks
That
Offers
Coverage
Against
All
Manufacturing
And
Material
Defects
Today
We're
Adding
Another
Layer
To
That
Get
It
It's
Pretty
Good
Thanks
Excellent
For
All
Bags
Purchased
Before
December
9th
2023
So
That's
Tomorrow
We
Are
Adding
A
Virtual
Double
Layer
Clause
To
Our
Warranty
We
Don't
Expect
Many
Of
These
Bags
To
Ever
Wear
Through
That
Single
Layer
Of
The
Bottom
Material
But
If
Yours
Does
We
Will
Replace
The
Bag
Within
Standard
Warranty
Terms
So
There's
No
Coverage
For
Intentional
Damage
You'll
Have
To
Check
The
Full
T's
And
C's
It's
Still
An
Amazing
Product
That
Will
Serve
You
For
Years
To
Come
And
If
It
Doesn't
We've
Got
Your
Solution
Of
Course
We
Understand
Not
Everyone
Is
Going
To
Be
Happy
With
This
Offer
And
If
You
Just
Plain
Don't
Feel
Good
About
The
Situation
Guys
When
We
Say
Trust
Us
We
Got
You
Trust
Us
We
Got
You
Even
Even
If
Your
Purchase
Is
Outside
Of
Our
Standard
Return
Window
We
Are
Offering
A
Full
Refund
In
Return
For
Anyone
Who
Is
Just
Too
Upset
About
This
Issue
Can't
Deal
With
It
And
Doesn't
Whatever
Just
All
You
Got
To
Do
Is
Wait
For
Our
Support
Team
They're
Going
To
Be
Reaching
Out
To
All
Backpack
Buyers
In
The
Next
Week
Or
So
With
The
Two
Options
The
Warranty
Upgrade
Plus
$25
Credit
Or
A
Return
And
Refund
This
Submission
Process
Should
Be
Automated
But
There
Are
Thousands
Tens
Of
Thousands
Actually
Of
You
Out
There
So
Bear
With
Us
It
May
Take
A
Few
More
Days
Than
Normal
To
Get
Through
The
Full
Process
And
Send
Out
Replies
Oh
We
Also
Have
An
Update
On
The
Titanium
Carabiners
They
Are
Nearing
Completion
We're
Supposed
These
Out
To
Buyers
In
Waves
So
Early
Buyers
Should
Expect
To
Hear
From
Our
Team
To
Confirm
Their
Shipping
Address
In
Late
December
Or
Early
January
We're
Hoping
All
The
Replacement
Kits
Will
Be
Shipped
Out
By
April
2024
We're
Doing
This
In
Waves
Mostly
Because
We
Want
To
Make
Sure
That
It's
User
Friendly
And
That
There's
No
Massive
Issues
With
The
First
Waves
Before
We
Just
Go
And
Send
Them
Out
To
Everybody
I
Think
That's
Pretty
Much
All
The
Updates
We
Have
On
The
Backpack
And
Just
Hey
Thanks
Guys
Thanks
For
Bearing
With
Us
Thanks
For
You
Know
Thanks
For
Trusting
Us
Thanks
For
Giving
Us
The
Time
This
Week
Not
You
Blowing
This
Up
Making
The
Worst
Possible
Assumptions
Even
Though
I
Think
We've
Shown
Over
And
Over
Again
We
Actually
Do
Care
About
Our
Customers
And
We're
Trying
To
We're
We're
Always
Trying
To
Take
Care
Of
You
Guys
This
Is
Going
To
Be
A
Very
Costly
Exercise
For
Us
I
Mean
Even
$25
Credits
To
Everyone
Who
Bought
A
Backpack
You
Do
The
Math
Our
Initial
Order
Was
40,000
Units
We've
Already
Sold
Through
That
And
More
Anyone
25
Times
40,000
That's
A
Lot
Any
Guesses
Thing
Are
You
Done
Reading
I'm
Not
Gonna
Read
The
Rest
Verbatim
Okay
Sounds
Good
Dan
Anyone
No
What
Do
You
Say
How
Much
40,000
Units
Times
25
Bucks
Anyone
That's
A
That's
A
Nice
Round
Number
One
Billion
It's
Not
A
Billion
It's
A
Million
Yeah
So
This
Is
Going
To
Be
This
Is
Going
To
Be
Very
This
Is
Going
To
Be
Very
Costly
But
What
I
Hope
Is
That
This
Demonstrates
To
You
Guys
That
We
Don't
F***
Around
I
Guess
That's
The
Bottom
Line
Of
All
Of
This
Is
Yeah
You
Know
What
That's
Not
Cool
We
If
We're
Saying
That
It
Has
Some
Feature
Then
We
Expect
It
To
Have
It
But
If
It
Doesn't
Have
It
Then
What
You
Can
Expect
Is
Us
To
Stand
Behind
It
Anyway
And
For
Us
Oh
Yeah
Merch
Messages
Speaking
Of
Speaking
Of
Products
A
Lot
Of
You
Are
Buying
Them
Today
Poor
Dan
How
You
Doing
Over
There
Dan
I'm
Doing
Well
It's
Going
Well
Okay
Excellent
Are
You
Staying
On
Top
Of
It
Yeah
I
Guess
We
Haven't
Really
Flagged
It
To
The
Chat
Yet
I'll
Let
You
Guys
Know
What
Everyone's
Been
Buying
And
Then
What
I
Suspect
Is
That
There's
Going
To
Be
A
Bit
Of
A
Rush
Luke
Have
You
Seen
This
Yet
Sorry
I'm
Trying
To
Fix
Something
What's
Up
What's
Going
On
Seen
What
We
Are
Taking
Orders
They
Are
Not
Shipping
Just
Yet
But
We
Are
Finally
Doing
It
We
Are
Taking
Orders
For
The
Most
Beautiful
Or
The
Least
Beautiful
Screwdriver
You've
Ever
Seen
We're
Going
To
Be
Shipping
These
By
January
Of
2024
And
We
Worked
With
Noctua
No
No
Actual
Money
Changed
Hands
For
This
But
We
Worked
With
Noctua
To
Ensure
That
Our
Color
Selection
Met
Their
Exacting
Standards
So
You
Can
See
Right
In
The
Pictures
These
Will
Match
Your
Noctua
Fans
We
Did
It
In
Two
Different
Color
Ways
Again
Because
Of
Noctua
Exacting
Sort
Of
Their
Particular
We
Love
Those
Guys
They're
Very
Particular
We
Had
Some
Disagreements
With
Them
About
Which
Way
It
Should
Go
Should
It
Be
This
Way
Or
The
Inverse
Of
That
Way
And
Basically
They
Went
Well
If
You
Want
To
Do
That
One
Then
You're
Just
Going
To
Have
To
Do
Both
And
We
Kind of
Went
Okay
It's
A good
Thing
Though
Too
Because
It
Turns
Out
That
Neither
Us
Nor
Them
Ended
Up
Being
Right
The
Sales
Split
So
Far
Is
Almost
Exactly
50
50
Almost
Exactly
That's a
Pretty
Good
Way
To
End
It
So
Yeah
We
How
About
We
Just
Agree
To
Agree
There's
A
Question
Is
There
A
Limited
Quantity
I
Mean
There's
A
Limited
Quantity
Of
Everything
On
Earth
But
Our
Intention
For
This
Is
To
Have
It
Be
A
Skew
For
Some
Time
Long
Standing
Skew
Yeah
This
Isn't
Like
Your
Only
Chance
To
Order
Long
Ish
And
I
Do
Have
Something
Exciting
For
Our
EU
Folks
Is
You
Will
Not
Only
Have
Some
Time
To
Order
It
But
You
May
Want
To
Hold
Off
For
I
Know
I
Know
Good
Salesmanship
Right
Now
Right
Fantastic
Hey
We've
Got
This
Great
New
Product
Don't
Buy
It
So
Exciting
Don't
Buy
It
Yet
If
You
Are
In
The
EU
We
Are
Hoping
To
Bring
Some
Inventory
To
To
An
On
Continent
Retailer
So
You
Can
Save
A
Bit
On
The
Shipping
We
Will
Share
More
Details
As
They
Are
Available
We
Cannot
Control
Ultimately
What
They
Price
It
At
So
They
Might
They
Might
You
Know
Make
It
More
Expensive
And
So
Maybe
You're
Going
To
Eat
Some
There
I
I
Don't
Know
Right
Because
There's
Two
There's
Two
Layers
Worth
Of
Margin
That
Need
To
Be
Accounted
For
In
It
Now
But
Hopefully
That
Will
Result
In
Some
Saved
Shipping
Which
Is
Super
Cool
And
This
Was
Also
Something
That
Noctua
Was
Quite
Particular
About
Luke
If
You
Want
To
Show
This
Off
We
Got
The
Luke
Cam
We
Launched
A
Shaft
Extension
For
Our
Screwdrivers
It
Is
Compatible
With
Oh
Yeah
Sure
Here
There
You
Go
The
Other
Side
Of
Your
Face
But
You
Know
What
You
Doing
Great
Luke
That
You
Doing
Great
Luke
Yeah
You
You
Doing
Awesome
Anyway
The
Point
Is
That
We
Launched
A
Shaft
Extension
It
Compatible
With
Any
Of
Our
Standard
Or
Stubby
Screwdrivers
Adding
Four
Inches
Of
Reach
So
It
Perfect
For
Installing
Those
Tough
To
Reach
PC
Air
Coolers
Out
There
It
Won't
Fit
Down
Skinny
Hole
And
You
Have
To
Put
Like
Their
One
That
Comes
In
The
Box
Down
But
It
Will
Work
For
A
Lot
Of
Things
That
You
Otherwise
Were
Not
Able
To
Reach
Before
It's
Nice
That
It's
Not
Wider
Than
The
Original
Shaft
Well
Yeah
I
Mean
It's
Okay
This
Is
One
Of
Those
Products
That
Is
Okay
Yeah
Just
Keep
The
Screwdriver
I
Guess
This
Is
One
Of
Those
Products
That
Is
Compatible
With
Anything
But
Made
For
Ours
Yeah
It
Is
Perfectly
Exactly
And
Exactly
The
Same
Outer
Diameter
The
Finish
Is
Basically
Identical
And
There's
One
Little
Special
Thing
About
It
And
That
Is
That
The
Hex
On
The
End
Is
Ever
So
Slightly
Larger
Than
Usual
Because
We
Know
What
Our
Tolerances
Are
For
This
Side
Of
It
And
While
Generally
In
The
Industry
Everyone
Uses
Kind
Of
A
Looser
Tolerance
For
This
In
Our
Driver
It
Will
Have
Less
Wobble
Than
It
Would
In
Someone
Else's
It
Should
Still
Fit
In
Just
About
Anything
But
It
Might
Not
Go
To
The
Full
Depth
That
It
Could
Into
The
Socket
Of
That
Driver
Or
It
Might
Fit
A
Little
Bit
Too
Tight
I
Find
A
Screw
Driver
Extensions
End
Up
Being
Wobbly
Or
They
Don't
Fit
Very
Well
Or
They
Actually
Expand
So
They
End
Up
Being
Wide
That
Looks
Like
When
You
First
Showed
Me
That
At
The
Beginning
Because
The
Knurling
It
Looks
Like
It
Supposed
To
Be
There
And
It
Just
Looks
Like
It
Really
Long
Shaft
Do
You
See
What
I'm
Saying
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
That's
Amazing
It
Really
Blends
In
On
The
Stubby
It's
Almost
Like
One
Of
The
Things
That
Triggered
Me
Most
That's
Pretty
Cool
When
I
Got
Into
Unboxing
And
Reviewing
Products
Was
Opening
Something
Up
From
A
Company
And
Going
Wow
They
Never
Even
Thought
To
Test
This
Like
Like
Man
Back
When
Antec
Was
Going
Through
Their
Downfall
I
Would
Open
Up
I
Would
Open
Up
A
New
Antec
Case
And
I'd
Be
Like
Oh
Oh
Yeah
I've
Got
Like
Their
New
Flagship
Power
Supply
Let
Me
Go
Get
It
Doesn't
Fit
It
Doesn't
Fit
I
Was
Going
To
Specifically
Call
Antec
You
Buy
Their
Flagship
Case
Their
Flagship
Power
Supply
You
Put
Them
Together
And
They
Don't
They
Don't
Work
And
You're
Sitting
Here
Going
Guys
Guys
Get
Cross
Sell
Opportunity
Brand
Synergy
What
Are
You
Doing
You
Know
And
So
That's
Something
That
Is
Really
Really
Important
To
Me
We
Yeah
Here
Speaking
Of
The
Backpack
One
Of
The
Funniest
Things
That
I
Think
We
Added
To
The
Backpack
Was
This
Little
Zipper
On
The
Pocket
That's
Intended
To
Be
Used
For
The
Screwdriver
Here
Because
What
We
Realized
Was
It
Works
Perfectly
For
The
Screwdriver
But
Such
A
Long
Deep
Pocket
That's
So
Skinny
Is
Going
To
Be
Impossible
To
Get
Anything
Out
Of
So
We
Added
A
Zipper
Just
In
Case
You
Drop
Something
Down
There
And
You
Need
To
Get
It
Out
It's
Because
We
Care
Luke
Absolutely
We
Just
Care
Okay
Cut
It
Open
No
I'm
Not
Cutting
Anything
Open
On
My
Show
Today
It's
Had
Enough
All
Right
No
We
Have
No
Plans
To
Do
A
Black
Version
Of
The
Shaft
At
This
Time
Sorry
Everyone
Just
Trying
To
Think
Is
There
Anything
Else
That
I
Need
To
Do
As
A
Merch
Update
No
I
Think
That's
I
Think
That's
Pretty
Good
So
So
Excited
To
Finally
Get
The
Noctua
Edition
Screwdriver
Out
Look at
This
Man
Just
The
Team
Just
Cares
Man
Like
We
Even
Have
The
Brown
Yeah
Look
At
That
We
Even
Have
Cute
Little
Brown
Screwdriver
Bit
Packages
Yeah
I
Love
All
Right
Dan
You
Want
To
Hit
Us
With
A
Couple
Merch
Messages
Sure
Absolutely
Let's
See
What
We
Got
Here
By
The
Way
How's
The
How's
The
Incoming
Doing
Over
There
You
Doing
Okay
Doing
Really
Good
It's
Been
It's
Super
Rock
Solid
Today
Okay
Good
Any
Progress
On
A
Case
For
All
The
Screwdriver
Bits
And
Will
It
Include
A
Place
For
The
New
Shaft
Extension
We
Have
No
Plans
To
Include
Room
For
The
Shaft
Extension
In
It
But
We
Are
Working
On
A
Screwdriver
Bit
Case
That
Should
Be
Really
Nice
Hey
Guys
So
Excited
For
The
Noctua
Edition
To
Finally
Be
Out
I
Wanting
To
Add
This
Thing
To
My
Growing
Noctua
Collection
Can
You
Tell
Us
A
Bit
About
What
Brought
About
The
Collab
Man
That's
A
Good
Question
Um
You
Know
What
The
Easiest
Way
The
Full
Transparency
Way
For
Me
To
Do
This
Cause
That's
How
I
Roll
You
Know
What
I
Probably
Talked
About
This
On
WAN
Show
Before
But
Do
You
Know
Why
I
Don't
Bother
Lying
No
Because
I'm
Not
Organized
Enough
You'll
Forget
I
Think
I
Can
Say
It's
Too
Much
Effort
I
Can't
Keep
Track
Of
My
Story
It's
Effectively
The
Same
Thing
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Obviously
Guys
You know
I
Also
Have
Ethical
And
Moral
Objections
To
It
But
Like
Man
Imagine
How
Hard
My
Life
Would
Be
If
I
Had
To
Like
The
Amount
Of
Time
I
Spend
Live
On
The
Internet
Or
Recording
Videos
Or
Talking
To
People
In
Meetings
Imagine
How
Complicated
My
Life
Would
Be
If
I
Was
Just
Making
Everything
Up
As
I
Went
Yeah
It
Would
Be
Terrible
Yeah
Okay
My
First
Email
To
Myself
About
It
Is
In
It
Was
In
July
July 5th
2022
I
Think
No
No
I
Found
Something
Earlier
Than
That
Why
Is
Why
Is
It
Not
Keeping
Track
Of
Where
I
Jacob
LTT
Edition
Packaging
What
Is
This
Oh
No
This
Is
This
Is
Old
This
Is
From
Back
When
We
Did
A
Heat
Sync
Collaboration
We
Collaborated
On
Products
Before
Then
As
Now
No
Like
Licensing
Fees
Have
Changed
Hands
Noctua
Is
Noctua
Takes
A
Super
Weird
Approach
To
Marketing
In
That
They
Don't
So
Every
Time
We've
Worked
With
Them
It's
Always
Just
Kind
Of
Like
Hey
I
Think
You're
Really
Cool
Yeah
I
Think
You're
Cool
Too
We
Should
Do
Cool
Things
Like
They're
I don't
Know
Man
They're
Look I
Love
Them
They're
Super
Weird
They're
Super
Weird
Company
Yeah
So
The
First
Email
I sent
To
Myself
Was
On
June
30th
Of
2022
And
It's
To
Meet
It's
To
Myself
And
Nick
And
It
Just
Says
Not
To
A
Colored
Screwdriver
And
Then
The
Subject
And
Then
The
Email
Is
Just
Partnership
Sorry
No
It's
Not
To
Myself
It's
Just
To
Nick
Yeah
It's
Just
To
Nick
What
A
Very
Clear
You
Know
Understandable
Instruction
From
A
Boss
And
Then
Oh
My
God
This
Is
This
Is
Great
Hold
On
Okay
I'm
Just
I'm
Just
Checking
To
Make
Sure
That
I'm
Not
Leaking
Anyone's
Emails
That
Matter
Not
You've
Never
Done
That
Before
Yeah
No
No
This
Should
Be
Fine
Nothing
So
Then
Here's
My
Email
To
Knock
To
It
Just
To
Show
You
What
Bros
These
Guys
Are
Let's
Do
It
You
Guys
Down
And
Then
This
One
Is
With
The
Suggestion
In
The
Subreddit
That
Happened
A
Little
Bit
Later
So
We
Were
Already
Kind
Of
Working
On
It
And
Then
All
Of
A
Sudden
There
Was
Public
Demand
For
This
There
It
Is
So
Oh
My
Credit
User
Face
Wad
For
Coming
Up
With
It
Three
Months
Later
But
Getting
The
With
Noctua
So
It
Is
A
Match
Made
In
Heaven
Yeah
It
Took
Us
Yeah
Actually
It
Only
Took
Us
A
Couple
Of
Days
To
Hammer
Out
The
Basic
Details
Although
Going
Through
This
Thread
I'm
Actually
Kind
Of
Annoyed
Because
We
Had
Talked
With
Them
About
Carrying
Some
Of
Their
Clothing
Products
At
The
Same
Time
And
Apparently
We
Never
Got
That
Done
So
I'm
Going
To
Follow
That
Up
I'm
No
Longer
CEO
So
I
Don't
Get
To
Send
Emails
Like
That
Anymore
Partnership
Question
Mark
You
In
Look
I'm
Busy
Okay
Is
This
One
Of
Those
Things
Where
Like
Taren
Needs
To
Learn
From
Your
Old
Style
No
He
Needs
To
Start
Sending
Shorter
Emails
Not
Even
A
Little
Taren
Money
Please
You
Want
Work
No
Capitalization
Together
Is
This
Okay
Ye
Ye
I
The
Same
30%
Productivity
I
Think
I
Do
The
Ye
Thing
That's
Funny
He's
Just
Fun
Yeah
All
Right
So
Sorry
Dan
I
Forget
What
The
Question
Was
Oh
Yeah
How
Did
It
Come
To
Be
Do
Screwdriver
Yeah
Yeah
Here
We
Are
Let's
Go
All
Right
Yeah
Oh
No
Hit us
With
One
More
Merge
Message
Sure
Sure
Absolutely
Let's
See
As
The
Warthog
Driver
On
Linus's
Team
At
Whale
Land
Stop
Stop
Stop
Abort
Abort
He
Was
Toxic
And I
Was
Very
Bad
Very
Fun
And
Looking
For
More
Looking
Forward
To
More
Lands
Sounds
Good
I'll
See
You
There
Hey
That
Was
A
Merge
Message
Oh
Yeah
I
Actually
Have
An
Update
For
You
On
The
Next
Whale
Land
Oh
Yeah
So
We
Have
An ETA
From
The
Construction
Company
They
Are
Saying
End
Of
March
Cool
To
Hopefully
We
Are
Also
March
2025
Right
Don't
March
Run
Let's
Go
Run
To
The
Waiting
It's
A
Joke
I
Got
It's
A
Joke
March
Is
Like
Only
A
Certain
Speed
Totally
Yeah
It's
Like
Two
Years
Away
Yeah
Yeah
Exactly
Wait
So
What's
The
Delay
Can
We
Talk
About
This
Is
This
A
Meeting
We
Can
Have
On
Wancho
What's
Going
On
We
Have
To
Have
Infrastructure
In
Place
To
Have
A
Land
What
Some
Network
Switches
What's
The
Delay
Yeah
We
Need
To
Get
Them
I
Mean
We
Already
Have
Them
From
The
Last
Whale
Land
What
Are
You
Talking
About
No
We
Need
More
Stuff
Than
That
There's
More
Than
Just
That
Borrow
Some
Network
Switch
From
The
Office
Then
What
Could
Be
Wrong
With
That
Your
Track
History
Predicting
The
Time
Frames
Moving
Into
Buildings
Has
Not
Been
Particularly
Consistent
Over
The
Last
Two
Years
Yeah
In
Fairness
To
Me
Okay
No
No
No
No
Just
All
The
Time
That's
My
Experience
In
Fair
You
Sold
The
One
I
Built
In
Fair
Just
As
We
Finished
It
Sorry
Continue
Look
I
Did
Not
Expect
A
Bigger
Lab
To
A
Be
Required
Immediately
Before
We
Even
Moved
Into
It
I
Don't
Know
If
It
Was
Required
I
Think
It
Was
Desired
And
You
Ask
The
Lab
Team
How
They
Feel
About
That
They'll
Tell
You
Required
I
Think
The
Scope
Change
They'll
Tell
You
Required
I
Think
The
Scope
Changed
They'll
Tell
You
Required
I
Think
The
Community
Is
Going to
Be
Happy
The
Scope
Change
It's
Required
And
Two
Two
I
Didn't
Know
That
That
Or
Something
Really
Far
Away
Yeah
It's
Literally
Perfect
Yeah
Yeah
We
Weren't
Expecting
The
AC
To
Take
So
Long
To
Go
Alex
And
I
Hugged
It
Was
It
Was
Quite
The
Glorious
Moment
We
Felt
We
I
Smelled
The
Off
Gassing
And
Was
Like
Oh
No
Is
The
Building
On
Fire
I
Was
Like
Oh
My
God
It's
Happening
The
Infrastructure
Team
Like
Bursted
Out of
Our
Little
So
It's
A
Heat
Pump
So
We
Turned
That
On
On
Thursday
Wednesday
Yeah
Yeah
We
Turned
It
On
This
Week
And
If
You
Attended
The
First
Whale
Land
You
Will
And
You
Talked
To
Me
About
The
Janky
Cooling
Setup
That
We
Had
In
There
At
That
Time
Because
It
Took
Place
In
The
Middle
Of
A
Heat
Wave
Yeah
And
We
Had
To
Bring
Like
Like
Like
Job
Site
Rental
Air
Conditioners
In
I
Probably
Told
You
Yeah
The
Plan
Is
To
Have
It
Up
In
Like
The
Next
Few
Months
Yeah
No
It
Took
Until
Now
We
Had
Ordered
Them
Like
Five
Months
Before
That
As
Well
Just
Getting
Stuff
Done
With
Contractors
Anything
Involving
Building
Code
And
Permits
It
Just
Takes
A
Long
Long
Time
And
There
Certain
Things
That
We
Could
Do
To
Expedite
It
But
Sometimes
There's
Just
Nothing
We
Could
Do
To
Expedite
It
So
The
Good
News
Is
That
Permits
Are
Done
For
The
Badminton
Center
That is
Good
We
Actually
Have
Final
Permit
We
Started
This
Ages
Ago
So
All
We
Need
Is
To
Do
It
And
Then
Get
Final
Inspection
And
We
Should
Be
Good
To
Host
Events
There
Like
Immediately
And
In
Terms
Of
Running
A
Land
There
I
Mean
We
Don't
Need
POS
Terminals
Set
Up
We
Don't
Need
Necessarily
All
The
Speakers
And
Cameras
And
Everything
Necessarily
All
We
Need
Is
The
Switches
We
Already
Own
From
Whale
Land
And
From
LTX
And
Then
What
A
Couple
More
Switches
As
Long
As
Those
Fiber
Runs
Between
The
I
Feel
Like
You
Would
Want
The
Build
Out
To
Be
More
Permanent
And
Also
Better
I
Feel
Like
House
And
That
Was
A
Blast
This
Can't
Be
Any
Jankier
Than
That
Was
Oh
Yeah
That
Video
Is
Totally
Coming
It's
Going
To
Be
Awesome
Another
Part
Of
Hopefully
It's
Ready
In
Time
Is
You
Need
To
Release
The
Video
Of
Your
House
Land
Yeah
So
That
Things
Can
Be
Ready
In
Time
We
We
Oh
Ubiquity
Make
Good
On
Featuring
Their
Products
So
That
Video
Sponsored
By
Ubiquity
Was
Supposed
To
Be
Shot
At
LTX
There
Was
A
Miscommunication
It's
Only
Like
Half
A
Yearly
Thankfully
Ubiquity
Are
Bros
They
Are
As
Bros
As
We
Love
Using
Their
Products
But
We
Owe
Them
A
Video
Man
But
We
Owe
Them
A
Video
No
I
Reviewed
It
Today
It's
Great
Or
Not
Today
I
Reviewed
It
A
Great
It's
Like
It's
Great
It's
A
Great
Video
By
Ubiquity
We
Ran
All
Weekend
From
Friday
Night
To
Like
We
Went
To
Like
Sunday
Like
Late
Afternoon
Right
Or
Was
It
Night
I
Don't
Remember
Anymore
It
Was
A
Blur
It
Was
Definitely
Nighttime
On
The
Last
Day
Was
That
Sunday
Yeah
It
Was
Definitely
Nighttime
Yeah
Yeah
It
Was
Freaking
Awesome
And
What's
Going
To
Be
Great
About
Whale
Land
At
The
Badminton
Center
Is
That
There
Is
No
Oh
Well
The
Landlord
Policy
Can't
Stay
Overnight
Or
Can't
Do
Multi
Day
Event
Blah
Blah
Blah
Guess
Who's
The
Landlord
Buddy
Let's
Go
So
We're
Gonna
Have
Some
Fun
If
We
Want
To
Put
Like
You
You
Want
To
Do
Whatever
We'll
Just
Do
It
Yeah
See
But
Then
That's
Gonna
Have
To
Be
Possible
Or
You're
Going
To
Be
Sad
And
I
Don't
One
Line
Is
That
So
We
Gotta
Be
Ready
In
Time
You
Know
What
I
Think
Would
Be
A
Super
Cool
Tradition
This is
The
Thing
About
Traditions
Is
You
Gotta
Come
Up
With
Them
Before
They
Exist
Oh
I
Know
I
Know
I
Know
All right
Fine
You
Talk
First
Saying
You're
Gonna
Move
In
At
A
Certain
Date
And
Then
Moving
In
A
Year
Later
Traditions
Can
Be
Set
Unintentionally
Why don't
You reply
To
More
Merge
Messages
Yeah
Sure
Sorry
Sorry
You
Know
What
Would
Be
A
Really
Cool
Tradition
Is
Remember
That
Thing
We
Did
At
That
LTX
Where
Everyone
Decorated
My
Car
Just
Chill
Just
Chill
Okay
Just
Relax
Luke
Is
Shaking
Relax
Okay
Wouldn't
It
Be
Cool
If
Every
Event
We
Cordoned
Off
Like
A
Vertical
Slice
Of
Wall
No
Don't
Do
It
Can
You
Stop
For
A
Moment
Please
We
Get
That
That
Clear
UV
Reactive
Paint
And
Markers
So
That
In
Daylight
You
Don't
See
It
But
Under
UV
Light
You
Can
See
It
And
Then
We
Have
Like
Like
A
Decoration
Station
And
People
Can
People
Can
Write
Their
Names
So
That
As
We
Host
More
And
More
Of
These
Lands
Can
You
Erase
Can
You
Erase
Like
UV
If
You
Really
Need
To
Yeah
I
Think
So
Yeah
So
So
As
We
Host
More
And
More
Of
These
Lands
Like
Every
Time
We
Could
Do
Different
Color
Can
You
Can
You
Can
You
Can
You
Can
You
Can
Rotate
Though
So
They're
Not
Next
To
Each
Other
And
You
Have
A
Four
Color
Cycle
And
So
If
In
The
Long
Term
We
We
Like
UV
Out
The
Place
So
That
During
Lands
We
Could
Just
Go
Full
UV
Land
Party
Mode
It
Would
Light
Up
These
Walls
For
Every
Land
And
The
More
We
Have
The
More
Trophy
Walls
We
Would
Have
That
Be
Freaking
Sick
Having
Like
Some
Details
Like
If
There
Was
Some
Tournament
Or
Some
Like
Yeah
Man
Having
Like
The
Winners
Or
Something
On
There
Would
Be
Cool
Yeah
Like
Oh
This
Is
The
This
Is
The
Robot
Unicorn
Attack
Tournament
Winners
Of
2024
And
It
Would
Just
Be
To
All
The
People
Who
Come
And
Play
Badminton
It
Would
They
Wouldn't
Even
Know
It
Is
Just
A
Wall
As
Long
As
It's
Possible
To
Erase
Things
I'm
Down
Yeah
Yeah
I
Think
That
Should
Be
Fine
Okay
We'll
We'll
Figure
It
Turn
It
Off
Okay
So
Here
We're
We're
Doing
It
I
Thought
You
Did
It
Before
The
Show
In
Live
Okay
What
Just
Happened
I
Can
Hear
You
Clicking
Yes
Turn
Off
Okay
So
Ads
Are
Off
So
If
They
Come
On
Again
Then
Ads
Are
I
Think
Ads
Play
Even
If
You
Turn
Ads
Off
Activate
Your
I
Think
It's
On
Another
Page
Is
This
Not
It
Because
I
Specifically
Remember
Seeing
That
We
Could
Set
It
To
Like
A
Billion
Ads
Yeah
No
That
Was
The
Schedule
Thing
That's
Like
Here
Interesting
It's
On
On
My
Page
I'm
Going
To
Refresh
Okay
It's
Off
Now
Yeah
Okay
So
Oh
If
You
Guys
Both
Have
Oh
Okay
Click
Click
On
The
Blue
On
The
Blue
Yeah
You
You
But
I
Thought
I
Turned
It
Off
But
You're
Right
Maybe
If
Dan
And
I
Both
Had
The
Dashboard
Open
Last
Time
There
Might
Have
Been
A
Conflict
I
Don't
Think
So
Because
You
Did
It
And
I
Refreshed
And
Then
It's
Fine
Okay
Yeah
I
Really
Don't
Know
Anyway
Just
Turn
Them
Off
I
Don't
Care
Okay
Prolonged
Exposure
To
UV
Other
Day
And
That's
The
That's
The
Blinding
One
Not
At
Work
Right
No
That
Was
At
Home
I
Have
One
Here
That's
The
Normal
One
That
Doesn't
Cause
Massive
Eye
Damage
I
Consulted
Your
Laser
Safety
Officer
Oh
Nice
Before
I
Started
Working
With
It
Nothing
Oh
Okay
Yeah
Yeah
Tynan
Knows
Stuff
About
That
Okay
Yeah
Yeah
That's
Fine
Okay
Give
Us
One
More
You
One
More
Okay
None
Okay
Well I
Don't
Know
Ask
Him
But
Probably
No
It's
Still
In
Development
Probably
Gonna
Be
A
While
Sorry
Guys
Sorry
He's
Tuned
Into
His
Phone
NAS
News
NAS
Oh
That
NAS
Software
I
Don't
Know
Yeah
I
Can
Call
Them
Sure
Like
Do
You
Want
An
Update
Sure
A
Lot
Of
People
Ask
About
It
Yeah
If
It's
If
It's
Kosher
To
Do
That
If
Not
Luke
Please
Get
Luke
Doesn't
Care
No
Luke
You
Care
About
So
It's
Not
Our
Company
He's
Okay
He's
Invested
The
Company
Is
Okay
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
No
Luke
Doesn't
Luke
Doesn't
Care
I
Think
They're
Cool
Hey
I'm
On
Wancho
Right
Now
Which
Means
So
Are
You
Oh
I
Have
Wancho
Yeah
So
They
Want
An
Update
On
The
Like
NAS
Thing
I
Haven't
Really
Given
Them
A
Lot
Of
Detail
What
Am I
Able
To
Tell
Them
Is
There
Anything
I
Can
Tell
Them
Other
Than
Like
You
Took
My
Money
And
Ran
Away
Or
Whatever
Well
Hawaii
Is
Wonderful
So
Tell
Them
Hawaii
Has
Been
Wonderful
Oh
Seriously
Are
You
In
Hawaii
Right
Now
Can
You
Give
Us
Ask
Everybody
To
Please
Give
Us
A
Few
More
Week
Between
You
And
Me
We
Are
Days
Away
From
Closing
On
This
I
Deal
And
As A
Proof
Of
Concept
That
He
Is
Ready
For
You
To
Do
A
Video
On
In
Probably
About
The
Next
Two
To
Four
Weeks
We
Are
Very
Very
Close
And
I
Appreciate
Everybody
Being
So
Patient
But
We
Just
Need
A
Little
Bit
More
Time
I
Want
To
Get
This
Deal
Inked
With
Ix
So
That
We
Can
Make
That
Announcement
All
In
One
Pile
Swoop
All
Right
Well
That
Sounds
We're
Very
Close
Alright
Thanks
Everybody
Okay
Bye
Uh
Oh
Well
That's
Exciting
That
Was
Far
More
Detail
Than
I
Expected
Him
To
Give
After
He
Said
I'm
Not
Ready
To
Share
Any
Details
Was
He
Fully
Aware
That
He
Was
Like
You
Said
You're
On
WAN
Show
As
Far
As
Far
As
I'm
Concerned
This
Is
A
Single
Consent
Recording
State
So
There
A
Single
Party
I
Told
Him
I
Told
Him
I
Told
Him
Yeah
Well
There's
Your
Answer
He
Was
On
Speaker
Okay
And
No
It
Will
Not
Be
Called
Line
Ass
That'd
Be
Really
Funny
No
It
There
There's
There's
Great
NAS
Software
Out
There
Yeah
But
My
Issue
With
It
Is
You
Basically
Have
To
Have
A
Degree
In
F***ing
Around
With
It
In
Order
To
Extract
The
Best
Value
Out
Of
It
And
I
Believe
That
Most
People
Just
Want
To
Have
A
Place
That
Is
Safe
Where
They
Can
Copy
Their
Files
Where
They
Will
Be
Safe
They
Will
Be
Redundant
And
Then
It
Will
Be
Easy
To
Make
That
Redundancy
Backed
Up
Yeah
To
Ideally
Someone
Else
Running
The
Same
Thing
That
Is
Like
Probably
In
Your
Family
Or
A
Close
Friend
Or
Something
Like
That
Or
To
A
Cloud
Service
Or
That
One
Of
Those
Two
Things
Is
Great
Or
To
Yourself
Running
Somewhere
Remotely
Whatever
The
Case
May
All
Three
Like
I
Would
I
Would
Love
To
Be
To
As
As
Encrypted
To
Our
Target
It
Will
Be
Fully
Encrypted
We
Know
Nothing
About
What's
In
There
We
Have
Absolutely
No
Way
Of
Opening
It
We
Don't
We
Don't
Want
To
Know
How
Cool
Would
That
Be
Sweet
And
Then
The
Other
Thing
Is
These
Guys
Are
Experienced
They
Know
What
They're
Doing
Obviously
We're
Going
To
Need
Compatibility
With
Docker
I
Know
That
There's
A
Lot
Of
Passion
From
This
Team
For
Virtualization
So
You
Can
Expect
Some
Of
That
More
In
The
Weeds
Naziness
Yeah
But
What
I've
Really
Been
Looking
For
Is
Something
That
I
Can
Tell
Another
Creator
That's
The
One
That
Comes
Up
More
Than
Anything
Else
And
I
Want
To
Help
Them
You
Know
I
Have
Someone
Who's
You
Know
Desperate
They've
Got
SD
Cards
And
External
Hard
Drives
All
Over
The
Place
They're
That's
Not
That's
Not
Helpful
To
You
And
I'm
Sorry
I
Want
To
Be
Able
To
Have
Confidence
To
Say
Look
Build
Any
Commodity
Box
Heck
I'll
Build
One
For
You
Doesn't
Matter
Like
That's
That's
Fine
The
Problem
Is
The
Support
In
The
Longer
Term
And
We
Ran
Into
This
Like
Like
MKBHD
For
Example
Stopped
Using
The
Naz
That
We
Sent
Over
To
After
A
While
Because
There
Were
Some
Challenges
With
Using
Such
A
Such
An
Obtuse
Solution
So
I
Want
Something
That
I
Can
Basically
Just
Say
Yeah
Install
This
On
Any
Commodity
Piece
Of
Hardware
And
Then
Don't
Think
About
It
Anymore
Just
Copy
It
I
I
I'm
Going to
Do
A
Little
Shout
Out
Here
Which
Is
Going
To
Shoot
Myself
In
The
Foot
Real
Bad
Because
I
Just
Realized
Through
My
Phone
Buzzing
A
Bunch
Of
But
There's
A
New
Job
Posting
On
Linus
Media
Group
Dot
Com
Slash
Jobs
And
If
You
Want
To
Be
A
Part
Of
That
Infra
Team
That
He
Just
Mentioned
To
Make
Sure
All
The
Things
Are
Backed
Up
And
All
The
Things
Are
Working
And
Everything
Is
Doing
Okay
You
Can
Apply
For
The
Junior
It
Service
Technician
Through
Linus
Media
Group
Dot
Slash
Jobs
There
Also
Last
Week
Yeah
But
The
Posting
Wasn't
There
There
Are
Also
The
Positions
That
Were
There
Last
Week
As
And
Those
Postings
Were
There
Like
A
Logistics
Coordinator
Social
Media
Coordinator
For
Organic
Content
And
Memes
A
Social
Media
Coordinator
For
Short
Form
Video
And
A
Junior
Video
Editor
So
Apply
Away
And
Explode
My
Phone
Until
I
Figure
Out
How
To
Filter
That
Cool
Just
Delete
Them
All
No
You
Don't hire
Unlucky
People
Have
You
Have
You
Heard
Of
The
People
That
Do
That
They
Have
A
Stack
Of
Resumes
And
They
Just
Take
The
Top
Half
And
Just
Throw
Them
Out
We
Don't
Hire
Unlucky
People
It's
It's
A
Joke
And
It's
Also
Real
There
Are
People
That
Actually
Do
It
And
There
Are
People
That
Joke
About
It
It's
Just
Messed
Up
Yeah
Yep
Yes
Local
Only
Wow
Twitch
Has
Announced
That
They
Will
Be
Permanently
Leaving
With
All
Service
Projected
To
End
Before
March
2024
Due
To
Exorbitant
Network
Fees
According
To
A post
By
Twitch
CEO
Dan
Clancy
Twitch
Will
Be
Helping
Korean
Streamers
Migrate
To
Alternative
Platforms
That
Will
Not
Work
Very
Well
Probably
September
Last
Year
Twitch
Tried
Capping
Source
Quality
To
A
Maximum
Of
720p
In
South
Korea
But
Its
Network
Fees
Are
Apparently
Still
10
Times
More
Expensive
Than
Most
Other
Countries
And
Twitch
Has
Been
Running
At
A
Loss
In
The
Region
Twitch
Lost
Popularity
In
South
Korea
After
Restricting
Source
Quality
And
They
Experimented
With
Peer
To
Peer
Models
For
Source
Quality
To
Get
Around
That
Self
Imposed
Cap
Back
To
1080p
However
This
Required
Users
To
Share
Their
IPs
And
Increased
The
Risk
Of
A
Cyber
Post
And
Stream
Large
Amounts
Of
Video
In
No
Small
Part
Due
To
The
Passage
Of
South
Korea's
Sending
Party
Network
Pays
Law
In
Most
Countries
The
Receiving
Party
Pays
For
Information
That
They
Get
Beamed
To
Them
Through
The
Series
Of
Tubes
That
Is
The
Internet
But
In
South
Korea
Sending
Parties
Also
Have
To
Pay
Defenders
Of
However
Critics
Who
Have
Common
Sense
Note
That
This
Is
Effectively
Allowing
Network
Operators
To
Double
Charge
For
The
Bandwidth
That
They
Are
Providing
To
Their
Users
That
Is
That
Is
Not
How
That
Works
You
Guys
The
Law
Also
Violates
The
Net
Neutrality
Principle
That
All
Traffic
Must
Be
Treated
The
Same
Meaning
That
Telecoms
Can
Negotiate
Wildly
Different
Prices
With
Different
Companies
Notably
South
Korean
Internet
Is
Extremely
Fast
And
Extremely
Cheap
But
It's
Not
Significantly
Cheaper
For
Individual
Users
Than
Other
Asian
Countries
With
Similar
Average
Speeds
And
We've
Got
A
Little
Table
Of
Some
Wow
That's
Really
Cheap
Dang
It
Why
Is
Our
Internet
Always
So
Expensive
Oh
Canada
I
Mean
We
Have
Some
Stuff
That's
Good
Our
Discussion
Question
Is
Is
Is
A
Fair
Policy
And
The
Answer
Is
Absolutely
Not
This
Is
This
Is
Just
Double
Charging
This
Is
Kind
Of
Like
How
Would
I
Even
I
Was
About
To
Say
This
Is
Like
A
Server
Asking
To
Be
Paid
By
The
By
The
Restaurant
And
By
The
Customer
But
Then
I
Went
Wait
The
Problem
Is
They
Only
Really
Yeah
Okay
Hold
On
A
Second
Before
People
Get
All
Upset
About
That
The
Problem
Is
Servers
Not
Getting
Paid
Enough
Yes
That's
The
Actual
Problem
And
Restaurants
Having
No
Incentive
To
Change
This
Arrangement
Because
It
Allows
Them
To
Advertise
Low
Prices
On
Their
Menus
With
With
This
Essentially
Hidden
Fee
603
On
Floatplane
Chat
Goes
You
Just
Described
Tipping
That's
The
Joke
It's
The
Kind
Of
Comments
I
Make
It's
One
Of
Those
Things
Where
It's
One
Of
Those
Things
Where
I
I
Can't
Tell
Is
It
That
People
Think
I'm
Stupid
Cause
I
Will
Often
Kind
Of
Play
The
Straight
Man
Like
I'll
Keep
It
I'll
Keep
It
Straight
Faced
When
I
Say
Something
Like
That
And
Then
Thanks
Love
You guys
Should
Do
A
Pull
I
Got
You
I'm
Already
On
It
Darn
The
Absolute
First
Person
To
Say
It
Was
Conrad
Oh
Man
All
Right
Well
There
You
Go
Hey
Hey
Look
Look
Look
18%
Of
You
Aren't
Losing
Your
Floatplane
Subscriptions
That's
Awesome
That
Would
Be
Bad
For
You
Yeah
Actually
That
Would
Be
Very
Stupid
That
Would
Just
Confirm
The
Poll
Are
Hate
Viewers
80%
Of
Our
Audience
That's
Why
I'm
Here
Hate
Worker
Now
For
Everyone
Who
Doesn't
Get
It
Probably
Quite
Common
We
Are
All
Joking
It's
Actually
A
Joke
It's
Okay
I
My
Feelings
Are
Not
Actually
Hurt
I
Man
I
Saw
This
I
Saw
This
One
Comment
The
Other
Day
That
Just
Hurt
My
Feelings
So
Much
For
Them
Come
On
Linus
Oh
No
That's
Not
It
Where
Is
It
Was
Oh
Man
It
Was
Just
Brutal
Basically
It
Was
Like
It's
It's
It's
Cringe
And
Misogynist
When
You
Talk
About
The
Wife
Approval
Factor
Of
Your
Upgrades
You
You
Know
We
We
We
Get
It
You
Have
Relationship
Issues
And
I'm
Kind of
Sitting
Here
Going
The
F***
Are
You
Talking
About
A
It's
Totally
A
Thing
And
Wife
Can
Mean
Anything
I
Don't
Care
What
Gender
Your
Wife
Is
Partner
Approval
And
Yours
Is
A
Wife
Yeah
Exactly
And
B
Caring
About
The
Approval
Of
Your
Partner
Is
Not
A
F***ing
Relationship
Problem
Yeah
That's
Good
Yeah
It's
Just
Painful
Why
Do I
Read
Comments
I
Know
Why
I
Do
It
Because
I
Actually
I
Care
About
The
Feedback
And
I
Can't
Help
It
Yeah
It's
Like
A
Compulsion
Sometimes
I
Think
You
Go
Too
Far
Yeah
Probably
Like
Very
Much
Sometimes
It
Makes
My
Brain
Yes
Hurt
Like
It's
Actually
Painful
Yep
I
Think
It
Goes
Far
Beyond
Utility
Sometimes
But
You
Know
What
I
Just
I
Muted
Them
Yeah
They're
Muted
Forever
Now
Yeah
Because
That
Is
That
Is
So
That's
An
Example
Of
The
Kinds
Of
Bad
Takes
That
Do
Actually
Result
In
A
Shadow
Ban
On
The
Channel
It's
Not
Criticizing
Me
Or
Criticizing
The
Content
Or
You
Know
Pointing
Out
Something
We
Could
Have
Done
Better
It's
Never
Something
Like
That
It's
Always
When
I
Didn't
Even
Have
So
Phenomenally
Far
Off
Base
That
I
Just
I
Don't
Think
There's
Anything
Useful
You
Could
Ever
Possibly
Hope
To
Contribute
To
A
Conversation
With
Another
Human
When
I
Didn't
Even
Have
A
Partner
I
Would
Consider
My
Roommates
Approval
Factor
Even
Just
Because
I
Might
Not
Have
Thought
Of
Some
Reason
Why
This
Might
Inconvenience
Them
And
I
Can
At
Least
Ask
Them
About
It
And
If
They're
Like
Yeah
I
Don't
Know
But
Like
You
Seem
To
Care
About
A
Lot
So
Send
It
Even
If
You
Don't
If
You
Ever
Bring
Someone
Back
Yeah
But
Like
Hey
I'm
Not
A
Complete
Degenerate
Look
To
Your
Domicile
Probably
Not
A
Bad
Thing
To
Consider
Yeah
Or
Don't
Like
That's
Fine
I'm
Just
Saying
It's
Not
Wrong
To
Consider
The
Wife
Approval
Factor
Of
A
Solution
All
Right
It's
Not
Wrong
What
Am I
Even
Supposed
To
Be
Talking
About
Right
Now
You're
Doing
Two
Topics
As
Of
25
Minutes
Ago
Oh
Wow
How
Many
Of
Them
Did
I
Do
So
Far
Negative
Two
Nice
No
That's
Not
Even
True
We
Did
The
Twitch
One
We
Can
Talk
About
Sam
Altman
Having
Some
Conflicted
Interests
It was
A
Pretty
Short
One
For
What
I
Flagged
As
Signed
A Letter
Of
Intent
To
Purchase
51
Million
Dollars
Of
Chips
Developed
By
Startup
Rain
Once
They
Became
Available
However
In
Disclosures
To
Investors
This
Year
Rain
Told
Investors
That
Open
AI
CEO
Sam
Altman
Was
Invested
In
The
Company
To
The
Tune
Of
A
Million
Dollars
Further
Rain
Claimed
That
It
Might
Have
Its
Risk
Five
Based
Chips
Ready
To
Deploy
As
Soon
As
October
Next
Year
The
Agreement
To
Be
Clear
Was
Non
Binding
So
What's
Like
A
Letter
Of
Intent
I
Guess
It
Would
Have
Been
And
An
Open
AI
Spokesperson
Claims
That
They
Have
Not
Proceeded
With
The
Next
Steps
Of
The
Agreement
Though
They
Are
Open
To
Future
Discussions
With
Rain
And
The
Discussion
Question
Here
Is
How
Should
Business
Leaders
Deal
With
Investments
Within
Their
Area
Of
Expertise
That
Are
Likely
To
Conflict
With
Their
Duties
Boy
Howdy
Would
I
Like
To
Introduce
You
To
The
Construction
Industry
Oh
Yeah
Or
Honestly
A
Massive
Amount
Of
Other
Industries
This
Is
Actually
Extremely
Common
If
I
Remember
Correctly
I
Have
Been
Told
This
I
Have
Not
Researched
This
I
Have
No
Idea
If
This
Is
True
I
Have
Been
Told
That
The
Hotels
On
The
Strip
In
Las
Vegas
Are
Often
Not
Profitable
But
The
Supporting
Companies
Are
And
The
Supporting
Companies
Are
Owned
By
The
Same
People
And
It's
Done
That
Way
For
Like
Tax
Reasons
And
Stuff
So
Like
The
Companies
That
Supply
The
Soap
For
The
Rooms
The
Companies
That
Sell
The
Lamps
To
The
Rooms
That's
Why
A
Company
Like
Asus
Has
Has
Regional
Offices
Is
My
Understanding
I
Could
Be
Wrong
About
This
Disclaimer
I'm
Not
An
Investor
Blah
Blah
Blah
Blah
Blah
Blah
But
Allegedly
This
Is
What
I've
Heard
The
Regional
Offices
Operate
At
As
Close
To
Zero
Dollars
Net
Profit
As
Possible
So
That
All
The
Profit
Essentially
Gets
Funneled
Back
To
HQ
And
This
Is
Done
For
Tax
Purposes
So
That
They're
Not
Actually
Making
Money
In
Other
Regions
So
That's
Why
Sometimes
They
Can
End
Up
Kind
Of
Stuck
Because
They
Rather
Than
Just
Being
Like
A
Shipping
Hub
Right
Like
A
Logistics
Center
They
Are
Actually
A
Separate
Company
And
They
Buy
Their
Inventory
From
HQ
Rather
Than
Inventory
Rather
Than
HQ
Just
Allocating
Their
Worldwide
Inventories
To
All
Of
Their
Various
Regions
And
That's
One
Of
The
Reasons
That
You
Will
Get
Wildly
Different
Support
From
One
Region
To
All
Have
Their
Own
Sensitivity
To
The
Cost
Of
Dealing
With
Things
For
Customers
And
These
Costs
Can
Be
Very
High
I
Mean
We
Talked
Earlier
On
The
Show
About
How
Even
At
A
Low
Price
Of
$25
Per
Person
Who
Bought
A
Backpack
Right
So
We're
Essentially
Saying
Okay
Here's
A
Retroactive
10%
Sorry
About
That
At
40,000
Units
Which
Isn't
That
Much
For
A
Company
Of
Seuss
Or
Whoever
That's
A
Million
Dollars
40,000
Units
Times
25
That's
A
Million
Dollars
It's
Amazing
How
Quickly
These
Numbers
Can
Add
Up
Here
We
Go
All
Right
I
Think
I
Did
A
Good
Job
Of
This
Colton
Messaged
Me
Framework
Laptops
For
Standardized
LMG
Laptops
And
He
Basically
Goes
What
Are
Your
Thoughts
They
Probably
Work
For
The
Major
Of
People
Who
Need
Laptops
Here
Jamie
Suggested
This
When
I
Was
Talking
To
Kalan
About
Asus
Ones
I
Go
They
Still
Have
A
Couple
Problems
That
We
Outline
In
Follow
Video
Including
A
Battery
Drain
Issue
Maybe
Nirav
Can
Clarify
If
He
Thinks
They're
Ready
For
Prime
Time
Like
I
Wonder
Just
Based
On
The
Timing
If
This
Is
One
Of
The
Things
That
The
Board
Might
Have
Been
Misled
About
Oh
Yeah
I
Don't
Know
Cause
Like
Honestly
That
Seems
Super
Skeasy
That
Four
Years
Later
We're
Finding
Out
Even
A
Letter
Of
Intent
Like
Fifty
Million
Dollars
Worth
Of
Stuff
I
Don't
Think
That's
Cool
Final
Email
Here
Hold
On
I
Just
Need
To
Make
Sure
I
Can
Cut
Off
Anyone
Whose
Email
I'm
Not
Supposed
To
Show
There
You
Go
So
Money
Where
My
Mouth
Is
This
Is
How
I
Handled
It
Yeah
I
Don't
Know
All
I'm
Saying
Is
That
This
Is
Wildly
Common
And
Is
Like
How
Entire
Industries
Work
Oh
Yeah
Totally
So
If
This
Feels
Like
A
One
Shot
Like
Wow
This
Is
So
Corrupt
Thing
That's
Just
Because
You
See
It
I
Don't
Know
I
Don't
Know
Man
I
Feel
Like
There
Have
Been
So
Many
Opportunities
For
You
And
Me
And
You
And
You
And
No
Sorry
For
You
And
Me
And
Us
To
Have
Profited
So
Much
From
Our
Positions
If
We
Were
Willing
To
Be
Skeezy
Yeah
Remember
Linus
Coin
Yeah
Drop
Coin
Yeah
That
Was
The
One
It
Only
Goes
Down
Hey
Freaking
Crypto
Has Been
Rallying
Lately
Maybe
It's
Time
To
Do
Drop
Coin
We'll
Be
The
One
Coin
That
Doesn't
Go
Up
Actually
I
Haven't
Looked
At
It
In
The
Last
Little
Bit
Oh
Yeah
No
No
It's
It's
Very
It's
Very
Much
Looking
Like
It's
Going
To
Do
The
Thing
Again
So
How's
Doge
Coin
I
Have
No
Idea
Doge
To
I
Don't
Know
10
Oh
I'm
Still
Four
Or
Point
One
Yeah
10
Cents
10
Cents
I
Have
To
Keep
My
Job
I
Don't
Get
To
Go
To
Hawaii
With
The
Other
Scammers
It's
Amazing
It's
Amazing
How
The
Scale
Can
Sort
Of
Change
Your
Perspective
On
Things
Oh
Oh
Man
Yeah
I'm
To
Be
I'm
Still
I'm
Still
Out
On
Crypto
Guys
Handle
Backpack
Refunds
With
Drop
Coins
No
Stop
It
By
The
Time
It
Ends
Up
In
Your
Wallet
It's
Worth
Less
I'm
Still
Out
I
Just
Can't
Handle
The
Stress
Of
Owning
Stocks
And
Owning
Volatile
Assets
Like
Bitcoin
And
Whatever
Else
I
It's
Too
Much
It's
Too
Much
It's
Too
Much
Intensity
Man
I
Can't
Handle
The
Emotions
So
I
Just
After
The
Memes
With
GameStop
And
All
That
I'm
Just
I'm
Out
Man
I
Even
Thought
About
It
I was
Like
Yeah
Probably
It'll
Like
Rally
Again
Because
People
Have
Incredibly
Short
Memories
They're
Like
Goldfish
So
We're
In
Like
A
Bit
Of
A
Trough
If
I
Was
If
I
Was
An
Investor
I
Might
Buy
Some
To
Be
Clear
I
Have
No
Idea
Where
It's
Going
At
This
Point
I
Am
Not
Giving
Any
Kind
Of
Advice
And
I'm
Out
Right
Like
I
Have
I
Have
No
Horse
In
This
Race
But
Like
Yeah
I
Thought
About
It
And
I
Was
Just
Like
Okay
So
What
I
Live
It
For
It
To
Make
Any
Sense
Yeah
I
Think
I
Think
A
Lot
Of
The
Like
Casuals
Are
The
Well
Yeah
They're
The
Feeders
Yeah
Yeah
Cause
That's
The
Thing
That's
The
Thing
About
That's
The
Thing
About
Bitcoin
In
Particular
Cause
I
Was
Gonna
I
Was
Gonna
Say
You
Know
Stocks
But
That's
Not
Actually
Necessarily
The
Case
Everyone
Can
Make
Money
A
Company
Makes
Money
And
That
Simple
We're
Not
Actually
Minting
In
The
Grand
Scheme
Of
Things
That
Many
Anymore
So
You
Look
At
It
And
You
Go
For
Every
Bitcoin
Millionaire
There's
A
Million
People
Who
Lost
A
Dollar
Or
There's
A
Hundred
Thousand
People
Who
Lost
Ten
Dollars
Or
Whatever
Or
Ten
Thousand
People
Who
Lost
A
Hundred
Dollars
Or
One
Person
That
Lost
A
Lot
Or
One
Person
Who
Lost
A
Million
Dollars
Right
Like
It's
Do
You
Want
To
Know
How
Many
I
Lost
I
Mean
Yeah
Three
Hundred
And
Fifty
Dollars
Dollars
Bitcoins
Shut
Up
I
Started
In
2009
The
Hard
Drive
Was
Like
You
Forget
About
It
Right
Right
There
At
The
Start
You
Forget
About
It
Like
Oh
This
Thing
You
Know
The
Guy
Bought
A
Pizza
With
Like
A
Few
Thousand
Bitcoins
Right
But
Go
Through
Like
Forty
Hard
Drives
Back
All
The
Way
For
A
Decade
And
It
Just
Doubted
So
It's
Out
There
It's
Out
There
But
I
Never
Really
Had
It
If
You
Know
What
I
Mean
Yeah
Yeah
I
Could
Start
A
Badminton
Center
For
That
Kind
Of
Money
I
Could
Go
Into
Business
Against
You
You
Could
Start
Half
Of
A
Badminton
Center
Yeah
Just
Open
One
Across
The
Street
That
Was
The
Plan
Yeah
Just
For
Like
No
Reason
We
Would
Just
Partner
We
Would
Just
Partner
At
That
Point
Yeah
He
Could
Buy
The
One
Side
And
I
Could
Do
The
Other
Side
Nice
Dan
Can
Have
The
Land
Party
Side
You
Probably
Want
That
It's
Gonna
More
But
Yeah
But
I
Mean
It's
Just
It's
Things
That
Nobody
Would
Have
Predicted
It
Right
Yeah
Yeah
It
Was
Fun
At
The
Start
But
They
Were
Worthless
Well
People
Are
Going
To
Say
They
Predicted
It
But
The
Reality
Of
It
Is
It
Really
Could
Have
Gone
Either
Way
Yeah
Oh
Yeah
Absolutely
And
Back
Then
That
Was
Worth
Like
Less
Than
A
Hundredth
Of
A
Cent
Yeah
Right
And
Cool

Oh
Yeah

Just
Do

Simulate
Natural
Human
Conversations
Their
AI
Agents
Are
So
Realistic
You
Can
Even
Use
Them
To
Troll
The
Scammers
Setup
Is
Easy
Just
Embed
An
Agent
Into
An
Application
It
Takes
Minutes
Using
Their
No
Code
Drag
And
Drop
Tools
Or
By
Using
Signal
Wire
Robust
API
For
More
Customization
These
AI
Agents
Understand
And
Respond
To
Requests
Beyond
Descripted
Format
And
They
Can
Perform
Actions
Like
Scheduling
Appointments
Answering
Questions
Or
Forwarding
Calls
So
If
You
Have
A
Business
Phone
Line
Or
An
App
That
Features
Live
Conversations
Then
This
Is
Something
You
Need
To
Check
Out
By
Going
To

Wire
At
The
Link
Down
Below
All
Right
Just
A
Reminder
Yeah
Which
Means
You
Also
Need
To
Be
Local
Yes
I
Thought
I'd
Clarify
That
Thank
You
I
Thought
You
Were
Going
To
Say
You
Already
Have
5,000
Oh
No
That
Was
Not
Quite
Scary
But
There's
A
Lot
Uh
Okay
Geez
Um
What
Was
Your
Favorite
Piece
Of
Tech
News
You
Just
Made
That
Up
Off
The
Top
Of
Your
Head
No
That's
Not
A
Merch
Message
You
Just
Made
That
Up
Number
100
Sorry
Evan
He
Doesn't
Believe
That
You're
Real
I
Hope
You
Enjoy
Your
Short
Short
Circuit
What
Was
Your
Favorite
Piece
Of
Tech
News
This
Year
Oh
Wow
That's
A
Tough
One
I
Mean
It
Would
Definitely
Have
To
Be
Something
Like
I
Think
Some
Of
The
AI
Fails
Were
Were
That
Publications
Got
Caught
Just
Sending
Out
On
Their
Sites
Reading
Through
Some
Of
That
Stuff
Was
Probably
My
Favorite
Just
The
AI
Boom
This
Year
The
AI
Boom
This
Year
Has
Generated
So
Much
I
Think
That's
The
Thing
They've
Generated
More
Of
Than
Anything
Else
Is
Fodder
For
People
Like
Us
To
Just
Sit
And
Talk
About
It
And
Laugh
At
It
And
Be
Amazed
By
It
It's
Just
Been
Such
A
It's
Been
Such
A
Roller
Coaster
It's
Been
Such
A
Wild
Ride
It's
It's
I'm
Looking
Forward
To
Continuing
To
To
Watch
It
Flap
Around
Like
A
Fish
Out
Of
Water
And
Sometimes
Go
In
The
Right
Direction
It's
Like
Twitch
Plays
Pokemon
Almost
Something
Good
Might
Happen
This
Time
But
You
VCs
Play
AI
Companies
Yeah
Yeah
It's
Basically
Like
This
Game
They
Used
To
Play
At
Like
The
Ladner
The
Ladner
Whatever
I
Forget
What
It
Was
Even
Called
But
My
Dad
Would
Drag
Me
There
So
He
Could
Bet
On
They
Would
Put
A
Grid
On
The
Ground
And
Then
You
Could
Bet
On
Where
The
Cow's
Going
To
Shit
Inside
The
Pen
Honestly
The way
That
VCs
Bet
On
Startups
It
Kind
Of
Reminds
Me
That
Yeah
Amazing
Actually
Amazing
That's
Windows
Could
Using
A
Portable
Monitor
Provide
A
Better
Or
Equivalent
Experience
To
A
Budget
Laptop
No
I
Really
Don't
Think
So
And
Take
This
From
Someone
Who
Is
Currently
Daily
Driving
A
Laptop
That
Has
A
Detachable
Keyboard
And
Screen
Right
So
I
I'm
Using
This
HP
Whatever
The
Crap
It's
Called
Folding
Thing
And
The
Whole
Shtick
Here
Is
That
You
Can
Use
It
Like
A
I
Do
Really
Like
It
I
Talk
About
It
Like
At
Every
Opportunity
Pop
Out
The
Kick
Stand
Right
Right
Like
That
And
Then
Just
Like
Put
Your
Put
Your
Keyboard
Next
To
It
And
Use
It
In
Kind
Of
Like
A
Like
Surface
Kind
Of
Mode
As
As
Someone
Who
Is
Daily
Driving
It
And
Loves
It
More
Often
Than
Not
I
Do
Not
Want
My
Computer
In
Two
Pieces
It's
Great
When
You
Are
When
You're
Hunkering
In
To
Get
Some
Work
Done
Man
I
Was
Sitting
Here
Reviewing
A
Couple
Videos
Replying
To
Some
Emails
Before
The
Show
Started
I
Wasn't
Ready
To
Start
The
Show
Yet
You
Didn't
Tell
Anyone
Yeah
Well
That
Was
A
Thing
Any
Who
I
Think
Dan
Knew
Dan
Knew
I
Didn't
Even
Know
If
I
Could
Talk
To
You
Why
Were
You
No
I
Emailed
You
I
Emailed
You
And
Told
You
It
Was
Okay
That
Was
After
Taren
Arrived
Look
Here
I
Was
Turning
On
The
Set
Around
You
Being
Very
Quiet
Here
Hold
On
No
I
Have
I
Have
Evidence
Of
This
Wait
Why
Can't
I
Find
This
Your
Evidence
Is
Going
To
Have
A
Time
Stamp
That
Was
Post
Our
Yeah
Look
That
Was
Post
Our
Communication
You
Gotta
Stop
Showing
Your
Email
Man
It's
Too
Much
See
He
Wasn't
Sure
If
It
Was
Okay
To
Do
Here
Your
Emails
Are
Great
I
Arrived
Here
At
Like
3
30
Why
Would
You
Email
Him
And
Not
Send
A
Message
On
Teams
It
But
I
Have
A
Scheduled
Meeting
With
Someone
That
I
I'm
Very
Excited
To
Have
A
Scheduled
Meeting
With
That's
Just
Called
Hi
And
Then
Their
Name
I
Just
Named
The
Meeting
That
I
Can't
Say
Who
It
Is
Which
Is
Hopefully
Going
To
Tip
You
Off
To
Know
I
Have
No
Idea
Who
You're
Talking
About
Oh
Well
I
Anything
This
Is
Like
Watching
My
Grandpa
Try
And
Use
His
Phone
Oh
Excellent
Oh
Good
Okay
Very
Good
Yes
I'm
Glad
To
Hear
That
Okay
What
Am I
Supposed
To
To
Be
Talking
About
I
Got
One
More
Merch
Message
I
Think
This
One's
For
Luke
To
Read
Number
97
In
Curated
You
Actually
Want
Me
To
Read
It
Read
It
Okay
I
Mean
I
Want
You
To
Parse
It
Before
I
Going
To
Read
It
Out
Curated
If
You
Just
Click
On
Potential
There
And
It
Will
Close
That
I'm
On
The
Wrong
One
It
Will
Close
It
For
You
No
I
Never
Close
Any
Second
One
Down
No
Way
What's
Up
I
Don't
Know
If
It's
Actual
Or
Not
Do
You
Want
Me
To
Read
It
To
You
It
Is
Real
You
Can
Read
It
Or
I
Can
Read
It
You
Pick
One
I
Don't
Know
Dude
Why
Did
She
Buy
Something
She
Bought
A
GPU
Ornament
Of
Course
She
Did
Seriously
I
Mean
I'm
Going
To
Read
It
If
You
You
Are
Going
To
Read
It
She
Bought
Something
That
Was
As
Cheap
As
Possible
It's
A
Free
Item
But
She
Would
Also
Yeah
Why
Did
You
Oh
Wait
She
Got
A
GPU
Ornament
And
She
She
Could
Just
Do
A
Charge
Back
What
Is
This
She
Just
Wanted
To
Merch
Message
Would
You
Like
Me
To
Read
It
She
Could
Have
Bought
A
Gift
Card
That
Would
Have
Been
A
Better
Idea
That
That's
What
I
Expected
To
See
Honestly
Needs
To
Get
Better
At
Min
Maxing
The
Store
I
Mean
I'm
Going to
Read
It
If
No
One
Starts
Reading
I
Think
Dan
Should
Read
In
His
Best
Producer
Voice
I
Get
Comfortable
Here
Get
Some
Nearfield
In
There
Oh
My
God
For
Luke
A
Haiku
On
Our
Anniversary
Nine
Years
Together
You
Spend
Tonight
With
Linus
Boo
To
The
WAN
Streak
Thanks
For
The
Pizza
Hut
High
Five
That
Changed
My
Life
For
The
Better
Love
Emma
Maybe
Here's
New
Hallmark
Messages
Like
That
Oh
Boy
Oh
Boy
Oh
Boy
That
Reference
Is
Gonna
Make
No
Sense
To
Anyone
And
I
Don't
Think
I'm
Gonna
Explain
It
Pizza
Hot
High
Five
I
Mean
Is
That
A
Sex
Move
I
Almost
Got
I
Think
I
Got
Him
Did
He
Spit
No
The
Pizza
Hot
High
Five
Is
That
What
You
Called
The
Chicken
Dish
Is
That
It
It
I
Almost
Killed
Him
Though
Oh
Poor
Guy
Oh
I
Was
So
Close
So
Oh
Man
That
Was
Very
Close
I
Can
Like
Feel
It
Like
It
Almost
Happened
But
Just
Not
Not
Quite
I'm
Gonna
Get
You
Someday
Not
Today
Um
No
We
We
Dated
Back
In
2012
Way
Back
When I
Was
Working
With
Linus
Actually
I
Had
To
Try
To
Explain
My
Is
There
Way
Back
That
You
Didn't
Work
With
Linus
Like
I
Mean
That's
Fair
I
Just
Was
Referencing
Like
I
Was
Technically
Working
With
You
At
Time
But
It
Was
Back
At
NCX
I
Tried
To
Explain
My
Job
And
It
Was
Confusing
And
All
That
Kind
Of
Stuff
But
We
Didn't
Date
For
Very
Long
And
Then
Yikes
We
Yeah
We
Separated
For
I
Think
It
Was
Like
Two
Ish
Years
And
Then
We
Got
Back
Together
And
We
Went
On
One
Date
And
It
Went
Well
And
We
Went
On
A
Second
Date
And
Then
At
Dinner
I
Very
Untactfully
Was
Like
So
Like
What
Is
This
What
Are
We
Doing
Because
Like
We
Already
Dated
Before
That's
The
Most
Luke
Thing
To
Say
Ever
And
Probably
In
Exactly
That
Tone
So
Like
What
Is
This
Like
Not
Not
Adversarial
At
All
You
Are
A
Lucky
Man
Yeah
Because
Like
I
Didn't
I
Never
Dated
Someone
Twice
Before
So
I
Don't
Know
What
To
Do
I
Don't
But
I
Have
So
Many
I
Have
So
Many
Things
To
Learn
From
You
It'll
Be
A
Super
Short
Book
But
Boy
Will
You
Ever
Succeed
In
Love
Yeah
So
It
Works
Okay
100%
Of
The
Time
Yeah
Here's
A
Conversation
Congratulations
Luke
Thank
You
Yeah
As
Someone
Who
Also
Has
A
Complicated
Start
Date
To
Their
Current
Relationship
Where
Do
You
Count
From
From
The
High
Five
Day
You
Guys
Count
From
High
Five
So
This
Is
Nine
Years
From
High
Five
Okay
So
You
Don't
Count
Whatever
Time
Period
Took
Place
Before
That
Okay
Okay
I
Don't
Remember
I'm
Actually
Not
Sure
Which
Date
It
Begins
At
I
Just
Know
Which
Yeah
Okay
So
Emma
Was
Emma
Was
Saying
Happy
Anniversary
Two
Days
Ago
Because
That
Was
The
First
Return
Date
And
I
Was
Like
We
Don't
Get
Two
That's
Not
Fair
Yeah
Straight
Forward
Communicator
That's
Not
Fair
That
Doesn't
Work
Really
Tell
Me
How
You
Feel
Well
It's
Just
Yeah
No
We
Have
One
Today
Adorable
Yeah
Well
I'm
On
Wancho
Until
She's
Going
To
Be
Asleep
I
Mean
That's
On
Her
If
She's
Not
Willing
To
Stay
Up
They
Get
Pretty
Late
Sometimes
I
Don't
Think
That's
Her
Fault
And
You
Do
Know
That
He's
Still
Going
To
Play
Super
Checks
Right
Yeah
Probably
We're
Doing
Actual
Stuff
On
Sunday
To
Be
Clear
I
Know
I'm
Not
That
Commented
It's
Like
You
Clearly
Have
A Merge
Message
On
Wancho
Because
It's
Cute
Not
Because
She's
Actually
Furious
Yeah
I
Mean
She
Might
Be
Actually
Furious
But
That's
Not
Why
She's
Sending
A
Merge
Message
No
Call her
Live
Oh
I
Don't
Know
Oh
Boy
I'm
Down
I'll
Call
him

Wonder
If
Her

My
Address
Book
As
Go
Go

Take
A Drink

A Lot
Of
Emmas

Didn't

Last
Name

Put
Emma
In
Brackets

Other
Emmas

Funny

The
WAN
Show

Gonna
Move

Absolutely
Would
Luke
Have
Noticed
No
He
Hates
Anniversaries
Oh
Boy
Alright
Well
He's
Already
Beat
Red
So
I
Think
You've
Mission
Accomplished
Do you
Want to
Give
Your
Version
Of
The
High
Five
Of
How
That
Happened
Huh
Do
You
Want
To
Give
Your
Version
Of
How
The
High
Five
Happened
How
The
High
Five
Happened
So
We
Had
One
Date
And
It
Was
Great
And
We
Agreed
To
Meet
Up
Like
Two
Days
Later
For
Date
Number
Two
Date
Was
Great
It
Was
Great
Wow
Creative
He
Pulled
Out
The
Stops
He
Watched
The
Movie
And
Pizza
Hut
Wow
Luke
Sat
Across
Each
Other
In
The
Booth
And
Luke
Looks
At
Me
Directly
And
So
What
Is
This
And
I
Told
Him
Or
He
Said
We
Said
Some
Variation
Of
Like
I
Guess
We're
Dating
Now
Or
Like
Let's
Do
This
Some
Version
Of
That
And
Then
The
Booth
Is
Just
Enormously
Awkwardly
Long
So
We
High
Fived
Across
The
Table
And
That
Was
The
Start
Of
Being
Boyfriend
And
Girlfriend
Yeah
Any
Story
That
Ends
With
Good
Times
Was
Not
That
Good
Of
A
Time
I
Noticed
The
Review
Of
The
First
Date
Was
Great
Both
Of
You
Said
That
Nobody
Gave
Me
A
Review
Of
The
Second
Date
Yeah
Date
One
We
Sat
Across
From
Each
Other
And
We
Into
Like
Kids
Politics
Religion
We
Went
We
Did
Everything
That
Everyone
Says
Not
To
It
Discussion
Day
It
Was
Heavy
Discussion
Day
Which I
Mean
I
I'm
Actually
All
For
Everyone
Says
Don't
Do
It
I'm
All
For
It
If
You're
Going
To
Run
Into
A
Wall
That
You
Can't
Pass
You
Might
As
Do
Right
Away
Absolutely
All
Right
Well
Thanks
Emma
Enjoy
Luke
On
Our
Anniversary
I
Hope
You
Have
A
Great
Night
Together
We
Will
I
Get
To
Watch
Oh
Man
That's
Great
Cool
Very
Cool
One
More
Merch
Message
I
Guess
Yeah
Let's
Do
An
Actual
One
Let's
See
Long
Time
Listener
First
Time
Caller
Linus
You've
Said
In
The
Past
That
You
Buy
Physical
Media
And
Keep
It
In
Your
Attic
Is
That
Still
True
If
So
How
Big
Is
Your
Collection
It's
Still
Aspirationally
True
I
Own
A
Lot
Of
Media
That
I
Have
Copies
Of
Like
I
Said
There's
No
Point
In
Me
Lying
I
Might
As
Well
Just
Be
Fully
Transparent
One
Of
The
Tasks
On
My
Assistance
To
Do
List
Is
To
Go
Through
My
Library
Of
Digital
Copies
Of
Things
And
Make
Sure
That
I
Have
A
Physical
Copy
To
Back
It
Up
Because
I'm
Lazy
That's
Amazing
But
I'm
On
It
I'm
On
It
I
Was
Very
Happy
To
See
I
Bought
Some
Japanese
Oh
Yeah
I
Didn't
Test
All
Of
Them
But
I
Mean
Now
DRMs
In
Just
Like
Everything
Well
Like
It
Also
Didn't
Like
Require
A
Download
When
You
Put
It
In
Like
Sometimes
They're
Not
Even
Real
And
Yeah
I
Was
Happy
It
Was
Real
Sick
Kelly
138
Says
I
Need
To
Pay
An
Assistant
To
Do
That
For
Me
Yeah
100%
Game
Grime
Says
If
You
Buy
A
Movie
From
Prime
Video
Do
You
Feel
Okay
About
Getting
An
Offline
Copy
Yeah
I
I
I'd
Say
That
That's
That's
Over
My
Limit
I
I've
Known
People
That
Are
Like
Well
I
Pay
For
A
Netflix
Subscription
So
I'll
Just
Download
Anything
That's
On
Netflix
And
The
Problem
With
That
Is
That
Netflix
Tracks
The
Watch
Time
And
So
If
You're
Pirating
Those
Shows
Then
They
Are
Not
Getting
Credit
For
Their
Watch
Time
And
They
Might
Not
Get
Renewed
And
The
Cast
And
Crew
Might
Not
Get
Paid
So
It
Does
Need
To
Be
Some
Kind
Of
One
Time
Purchase
If
You
Want
To
Own
The
Media
Sort
Of
For
Me
From
Like
From
From
An
Ethical
Standpoint
Everyone
Has
Their
Own
Line
And
That's
Something
That
I
Think
A
Lot
Of
People
Have
Misunderstood
About
My
Talks
About
This
In
The
Past
Is
I'm
Not
Saying
Your
Line
Should
Be
Here
Your
Line
Should
Be
There
I'm
Just
Saying
Spades
Are
Black
And
Shaped
Like
Spades
Yeah
Alright
Last
Merch
Message
For
Now
And
We'll
Do
A
Few
More
Topics
Oh
Yeah
Sure
Your
Approach
To
Bad
Merchandise
Is
Outstanding
Be
That
As
It
May
Will
The
Backpack
Manufacturer
Help
Defer
Some
Of
These
Warranty
Costs
At
All
Alright
Why don't
We
Do
Full
Transparency
WAN
Show
We
Don't
Know
Yet
Yeah
Our
Sincere
Hope
Is
That
They
Will
Contribute
Given
That
They
Played
A
Very
Significant
Role
In
This
I
Mean
F***
Up
Is
Really
The
Only
Way
To
Put
It
The
Problem
Though
Is
That
In
Business
For
Most
People
Everything
Comes
Down
To
Numbers
And
Like
People
Keep
Trying
To
Talk
To
Me
About
The
Numbers
Of
This
Thing
And
I
Keep
Telling
Them
It
Doesn't
Matter
And
They're
Like
No
But
It
Matters
And
I'm
Like
Right
In
What
Way
And
They're
Like
Well
Cashflow
And
P&L
And
All
This
Stuff
And
I'm
Like
Right
But
Like
Why
Do
I
Care
And
They're
Like
Well
Because
Cashflow
And
P&L
And
All
This
Stuff
And
I'm
Like
Right
But
Does
Anything
About
This
Number
Change
What
We're
Going
To
Do
And
They're
Like
No
And
I'm
Like
Okay
Then
I had
A
Very
Similar
Conversation
To
This
Recently
About
A
Totally
Different
Topic
But
Like
Yeah
The
Like
Does
This
Matter
Affect
Anything
That's
Going
To
Happen
Moving
Forward
No
Then
Why
Does
It
Matter
Why
Are
We
Even
Talking
About
Yeah
And
It's
Like
I'm
Not
Trying
To
I've
Already
Got
The
Answer
And
I
Would
Get
In
Trouble
For
This
In
Elementary
School
All
The
Time
I
Already
Have
The
Answer
The
Answer
Is
Whatever
It
Is
Literally
Nothing
Else
Affects
It
Anymore
Because
The
Answer
Is
Already
The
Answer
So
Why
Don't
We
Move
On
And
Instead
Of
Worrying
About
You
Know
What
Our
Losses
Are
Here
Or
Whatever
Other
Impact
This
Is
Going
To
Have
On
The
Business
Why
Don't
We
Spend
Time
Making
Noctua
Screwdrivers
To
Sell
Or
Making
Videos
To
Sell
To
Our
Sponsor
Partners
Doing
Something
Useful
To
Offset
The
Bloody
Loss
Instead
Of
Sitting
Here
Counting
It
And
You
Know
What
Look
It's
People's
Job
I
Was
Going
To
Say
I
Do
Think
You
Still
Need
To
Count
Someone
Needs
To
Know
But
I
Don't
Need
To
Know
The
Decision
For
What
We're
Going
To
Do
Is
Already
Made
And
We
Do
Need
To
Manage
The
Cash
Flow
In
Our
Bank
Accounts
We
Have
Never
Bounced
A
Paycheck
And
Damn
It
I
Don't
Intend
For
That
To
Ever
Happen
As
Long
As
I'm
At
This
Company
Even
Whether
I'm
CEO
CVO
Janitor
It
Doesn't
Matter
The
Point
Is
That
That
That's
Not
Something
That
We
Consider
To
Be
And
I
Told
People
That
At
The
Beginning
That's
What
I
Said
From
The
Very
Beginning
Of
The
Whole
Stupid
Warranty
Debacle
I
Look
Guys
I
Cannot
Afford
To
Not
Do
Good
By
Our
Community
And
Then
Everyone
Was
Like
Basically
Demonstrated
Why
And
It
Was
Like
See
He
Wasn't
Going
To
Do
It
What
What
Are
You
Been
Talking
About
What
You're
Doing
Right
Now
Is
Exactly
What
I've
Thing
All
You
Got
Was
Like
A
Whiff
That
Something
Bad
Might
Possibly
Happen
At
Some
Point
Yeah
He's
Not
Logan
Paul
He
Can't
Just
Keep
Doing
It
Over
And
Over
And
Over
How
Does
That
Work
I
Have
No
Idea
I
Don't
Get
It
I
Don't
Either
Why
Does
Even
Want
To
Do
It
Over
And
Again
I
Mean
It's
Working
That's
True
Anyway
So
What
Am I
Supposed
To
Talking
About
Right
So
For
Most
People
Though
Business
Is
Numbers
And
The
Risk
When
You
Go
To
Someone
Like
A
Manufacturing
Partner
Is
That
They
Will
Look
At
The
Numbers
And
They
Will
Go
Well
Holy
This
Cost
To
Fix
This
Up
Is
Greater
Than
The
Amount
Of
Money
We
Could
Ever
Hope
To
Make
On
This
Partner
Time
To
Ghost
See
You
Later
So
We
Have
To
Figure
Out
As
Part
Of
Our
Philosophy
Of
Being
Good
Partners
We
Have
To
Figure
Out
A
Way
To
Work
Together
To
Come
Up
With
A
Solution
That
Makes
Sense
For
All
Parties
Involved
In
All
Honesty
Other
Than
This
F**k
Up
Which
Is
What
I'm
Going
To
Keep
Calling
It
They've
Been
Doing
Good
The
Quality
Of
The
Bag
Is
Great
I
Was
Good
I
Was
Looking
At
The
Return
Rates
For
Them
They're
So
Low
There
Is
A
Reason
Why
No
One
Noticed
Until
You
Stabbed
It
That's
A
Oh
I
Didn't
Even
Think
About
That
That's
That's
A
Whole
Thing
Even
The
Mining
Shaft
Guy
Didn't
Go
Through
It
Hold
On
I
Got
One
He's
He's
Had
A
Lot
Of
Practice
So
So
This
Is
One
Of
Those
Things
Where
You
Know
We've
Got
To
Figure
Out
Okay
Well
How
Do
We
Work
Together
To
Continue
To
Work
Together
But
Have
You
At
Least
Contribute
To
This
Problem
So
One
Of
The
First
Things
We
Did
Was
We
Put
A
Stop
On
A
Wire
That
We
Had
Out
For
Something
That
Concerned
I'm
Willing
To
Hold
Our
Notebook
Sling
Ransom
That's
Ready
For
Order
But
I'm
Willing
To
Hold
That
Order
Ransom
In
Order
To
Give
Them
Some
Incentive
Like
Hey
Look
You
Guys
Here
There
Is
Money
That
You
Will
Be
Continuing
To
Make
From
Us
Immediately
If
All
You
Do
Is
You
Know
Engage
With
Us
On
This
Help
Us
With
This
You
Got
To
Give
People
A
Reason
To
Care
For
The
Most
Part
And
So
We're
Going
To
Negotiate
We're
Going
To
Figure
Out
What
Makes
Sense
We
Do
Believe
That
They
Should
Be
Covering
A
Portion
Of
This
But
You
Know
There
Isn't
Unlimited
Money
And
So
You
Just
Have
To
Look
At
It
You
Have
To
Go
Okay
Like
What
Approximately
Is
Their
Margin
Here
What
Could
They
Possibly
Afford
To
Absorb
Before
They
Just
Look
At
This
Relationship
And
Go
This
Isn't
Worth
It
And
They
Walk
Away
So
Yeah
They
I
Believe
Will
So
Far
They
Have
Acted
In
Good
Faith
About
Previous
F** ups
Like
Carabiner
Issue
I
Believe
They
Are
Going
To
Be
Helping
Us
With
Coverage
On
That
So
We
Like
To
See
Continued
Help
We
Like
To
Continue
To
Work
Together
It's
A
Even
With
This
Act
Of
Controversy
And
It's
Actually
Been
Kind
Of
Refreshing
I've
Taken
A
Lot
Of
Flack
For
You
Know
My
Supposed
Evil
Business
Practices
Or
Whatever
And
It's
Been
Cool
To
See
How
People
Actually
See
It
You
Know
You've
Got
This
Tiny
Minority
This
Extremely
Loud
Minority
That
Manages
To
Punch
Through
What
Is
Overall
A
Really
Positive
Really
Supporting
Community
And
You
Can
See
That
In
Just
The
Traffic
On
The
Store
You
Can
See
That
In
People
Just
Going
Yeah
I
Don't
Give
A

from nick saying uh he wants you to talk about the upcoming newsletter and boxing day deal
oh uh upcoming newsletter oh we have a ton of awesome newsletter content coming in the next
few weeks upcoming topics oh talking about apple leather so the uh material ah that the luxe
version of the bag is made of um full tear down of the mining backpack from last week he says this
is awesome they apparently took it completely apart compared to a brand new one and because
we were looking for wear points right like we're trying to figure out how to make it even better
um oh do i really want to talk about this i'm not going to talk about this a sneak peek of our
precision screwdriver coming next year and an exclusive discount coming on boxing day you will
want to sign up for our newsletter you don't want to miss this stuff uh sign up is in the footer of
lttstore.com i'm just going to head over there and i'll show you guys exactly where to click
this newsletter will contain deals and product announcements and all of that but one of the
things that i've spoken with the team about extensively is that i expect our newsletters
to be we are a content company i expect our newsletters to be content and if there isn't
something educational and cool in there then we have
i shouldn't say we're never going to send just like hey a product launch update but in general
you should expect to see interesting educational content just like with the rest of everything that
we do so subscribe to our newsletter you enter your email right there and then you will be
subscribed and it will be awesome all right
what do you want to talk about luke i feel like i've picked all the topics today
i left you some good stuff we might as well get through the ai thing eventually
you want to talk about gta 6 yeah sure let's do it i don't know what there is to say where's the
topic no no it's boring let's do the ai one okay cool go watch the trailer it looks cool you'll
be able to play it on consoles only um yeah sick so i guess while the console people are waiting
until 2025 we'll get it 20 27 six maybe six maybe yeah i'd say a year it's probably how long was the
last one i don't remember i still haven't played gta 5 gta 5 it's a good game yeah yeah i've heard
i'm never into the the online stuff but i i really like the single player yeah apparently
the online stuff is super good yep it's just not really my thing so much but people love it you
don't like role playing not tonight so we still got 40 minutes till after dark you guys keep it
together okay yeah okay gta 5 was released september 13 for the september of 2013 for
playstation 3 and xbox 360 and november 2014 uh for playstation 4 and xbox one and april 2015
for windows wait two years then again we're not right on the cusp of a new console generation right
now so i mean they could do a mid-cycle refresh there's been rumors all over the place and as far
as i can tell nothing really prevents it anymore now that they're just computers yeah
interesting all right what else we got you want to talk about this week in ai right yeah let's go
through it google gemini google has launched its new llm model gemini in nano pro and ultra flavors
they claim the latter beats gpt4 on 31 out of 32 common ai benchmarks that's a pretty uh bold claim if i
remember the one they didn't beat them on was like generally useful or something um i i don't remember
what it was but i remember reading the line don't quote us on that that's gonna be most people
yeah um i don't know if there's a link to it or anything but you can find the chart they say which
ones they beat them on and they shape uh show the percentages and everything um gemini is also
natively multimodal having been trained directly on text images and video so it won't need plugins
interact with those formats however gemini's very impressive multimodal demo showing it responding in
real time to spoken prompts has turned out to be staged a google spokesperson told bloomberg that
the model was prompted with still images and text gemini pro is now powering google's bard chatbot
ultra will replace it sometime next year so can i just say that i just assume that any demo that google
does with assistant and natural interaction is complete bullshit ever since they man i'm trying to think
um i'm trying to think when i completely lost any faith that it would be anything like the
products that actually exists on my phone um the appointment one came across particularly egregious
like imagining for a second that like it was gonna be maybe your calendar and i don't know maybe
maybe this is just a me problem but is anyone's calendar so simple that it is actually faster for
you to say call and book an appointment at this time and there will be no back and forth and there
will be no complications if that time is not immediately available at the place that they called
like i just i'm looking at it going yeah what if that time's not available and so what my ai is now
playing messenger with me about what other times like i don't put absolutely everything is are you
guys all so conscientious you put absolutely everything from every waking moment of your
day into your google calendar like i just how i just don't really understand um oh yeah okay so the
the um the thing that it lost on was common sense multiple choice questions oh okay which i think is
like that's kind of key if you're gonna ask it questions yeah um and then like that other one
that's we've talked about this a fair bit recently just because ai has been in the news so much but
that that camera that you were just supposed to like put places and it was supposed to ai take pictures
of important things and i was like i watched that video i'm like how could how could anyone possibly
think that this is working at all and then it didn't work at all like yeah what what is even what is
even surprising like i still can barely dial a phone number yeah the gemini demo like as i was watching
it i was like this is not like obviously no yeah and to be clear i didn't know that it wasn't
video camera picked up but i was like it's not real time obviously this is produced this is staged
um even if it is real time these would be questions that it was like heavily pre-trained on
specifically like for some reason gemini is really good at detecting ducks or something
like it's it yeah they would have played into it of course why wouldn't they to be completely honest
i don't know i did it a little bit more than i expected but so to be clear this is still stupid
and google shouldn't do it but i just don't know why anyone is surprised at this point and if google
ever wants to change this reputation they're going to have to start presenting realistic demos who are
they who are they demonstrating to because right now it just feels like they're demonstrating to
shareholders and they're trying to trying to like we're not falling behind guys trying to sneak one
yeah they're trying to slip one by and go no no it's like it's really really good google's still
cool and there's some arguments to make they don't just close companies down if everyone
if everyone else is you know playing the same smoke and mirrors game then yeah in fairness i guess
google you know can't appear to to to wall street like they're falling behind or or whatever
but like at some point aren't they all going to get in trouble for misleading investors like
maybe they should just take the take the high road just an idea free of charge google handyman
says stock was up five percent yesterday yeah see this is like yeah
but i mean the news yesterday a lot of people were massively overreacting in a positive way to
gemini it's like oh my god google is back google stomped on open ai
and it's just they just watched the video and fell for it which is going to become a much bigger
problem in the air of ai stuff this is like people who saw tesla's announcement that every
shipping car starting today is going to be capable of full self-driving and like i remember i was talking
to like a tesla fan person in my life a little while back and i was like they still believed it and i was
like dude why how could you possibly believe that if you knew anything about computers and what they
do and how they work and how powerful they were with the technology we had at that time even if tesla's
processor design had them a full generation let's be generous let's say two generations of performance
ahead of what anybody else was shipping and when i say anybody else i'm talking people who were
actually serious about ai not just randoms like i'm talking nvidia if they were two generations ahead
of nvidia they were nowhere near close to being able to handle every edge case and unless this thing can
handle every edge case why am i putting it in control of my car and now i don't i don't know now
that they just send poop emojis to the press instead of answering hard questions um i i i don't
know if tesla has ever acknowledged that hardware platform whatever it was is not going to be capable
of their completely autonomous driving like they said it would like how much are people gonna how much
are people gonna get for this class action i don't know not enough probably probably not enough yeah
it'll probably just all go to the lawyers as usual i'm interested because as handyman is is saying
they are actually quite far behind on production because the the thing that they were trying to show
off isn't even available yet and won't be for a significant period of time are you talking about
google now and and chat t54 was announced and in production a long time ago at this point in the
scale of this ai stuff it was a long time ago so it's an interesting concept uh scar glamour in
floatplane chat said uh i was on a web call with google over ai in my industry it was literally
two hours of please god know that bard still exists
which sounds quite likely i had this is off topic but i'm gonna vent about it anyways i had a call
with a company i'm not gonna give any more details than that and i'm not gonna give enough for you to
guess because i don't think we'd get there uh but i had a call with a company this festa no uh i had a call
with a company this week where we had to renew a contract boston pizza and their email was like
we need to set up a call because we need to renew our contract neopets okay sounds good uh we sit on
the call near the end of the call and like it really feels like we're wrapping up we're going through the
standard rigmarole here's your new customer success manager here's your new this person here's your new
this person here's you because you get new ones every time because people are moving through the
company and they're like i'll be with you moving forward and i'm like sure because i'll see a new
one on the next call sounds good um but whatever um but near the end of the call i'm like hey we're
finally going to get to the contract portion and the main person running the call is like all right
now we'll we'll book the next call so we can do the the contract and i'm like what
uh and they're like yeah i don't know who this is we can talk about this other stuff first and i was
like nah let's just book that and i'm gonna get out of here like what's what's happening this call
was to renew the contract
no really different company starts the same letter
that is exactly how all of those calls go though yeah so it wasn't them but okay so it was a good
guess at least yes it was all right it's so annoying just i like i don't care just email me my list of
currently updated contacts can you tell he's not a people person it's like you are a number to me
but like it's it's you are a number in a revolving door that's the problem i couldn't care less if
it was actually the same person all the time then fine but we get assigned these people in these roles
we get new people no i hear every six to 12 months like i i had no problem building we don't even have
problems that often i had no problem building relationships with people back when i back when
i was a buyer like i actually had to handle you know like maintaining relationships with people
which is not something that is my specialty in fact one of the core
one of the core philosophies of linus media group or one of the one of the foundational
sort of um i don't know plans let's call it a plan was that i would just be so product driven
that whether people liked me or didn't like me or had heard of me before or whatever the product
would be so good that it wouldn't really matter what they thought of me personally they would
just engage with us because it's a good product and and it's you know what it's not actually a
terrible way to go about running a business it's not the best way you know going back to the whole
conflict of interest and like you know backroom deals and inbred industries and all of that that
that's that's a way to get ahead a lot faster but build a great product and they will come is also
tried and true and um the reason for that was because i'm not really a people person i i i i i talk a good
game but i'm actually on my own time not
i've worked hard at it but i used to be very awkward um especially in groups i could be very shy
um i i i think this is one of those things where like uh mr beast is kind of like my spirit animal
because he's the same way on camera he's like the most outgoing guy ever but you you talk to him he
would much rather talk to people one-on-one than be with with an enormous group it's one of those things
where he's been a lot of youtubers that i've met are like that where people who got to the point where
large groups of people wanted to hang out with us by sitting in a room by ourselves talking to a
camera and so it's one of those things where i'm always kind of blown away when i meet other
uh particularly successful youtubers and i go holy crap we're just cut from the same cloth like all of us
and it's because we all started out at least in the at least in the old days right like nowadays
people aspire to be youtubers but that's not really how it started um so whenever whenever i
meet ogs it's like yeah because you're like me because you started out just like with this being
your way of talking to the world this was kind of the only way you could do it um anyway i forget
where i started with this um what am i talking about something this happens nobody knows anymore
no help me out floatplane chat um what was the point of this i derailed us from gemini
yeah that doesn't help me i started talking about people person oh yeah right i'm not a people
per right right right right right right thanks dan i knew you were here for a reason no he's doing
great um i'm just a number so that was that was a key but back when i was at ncix i had to do it i
had to do the whole schmooze thing i had to like go to parties at ces and you know sit there awkwardly
while other people drank alcohol because i don't drink that one sucks yeah it's like you know what
i don't even find that it sucks anymore i'm just like kind of over it um because it's it's the tech
industry like some people get like really wasted and uncomfortable and weird yeah but most don't
mostly a bunch of geeks the only thing that bugs me is the insistence that you must also partake
it's like relax yeah i just started using the allergy excuse for alcohol too yeah yeah so yeah
yeah i just i break out in a rash you wouldn't like to see it and and you especially wouldn't
like to see it because it's on my ass and i'll have to show you like you can you can shut it down
with humor right yeah and but these are like coping strategies right this is that's not the kind
of thing that comes naturally to me um i've heard now in our age bracket the fun one is to just say
that you're sober or you're uh recovering yeah yeah yeah yeah i've had that one suggested to me
the problem is that then people ask you about your journey oh yeah me too and oh no oh no and then
you're outed yeah that's a problem yeah so i just don't want to do that um so yeah i've never used it but i
i used to do the whole like you know relationship building with reps thing and i don't mind it when
people actually stick around like some some of some of my og contacts in the industry you know like
love love cliff from msi or whatever right yeah but they're the people that you know the company
manages apparently to to treat well enough to keep them in that position they're the people that are
passionate about what they do that they want to stay in that position um my thing is like it's just
such a revolving door and it can be it's most common that i've never even like i was introduced
to this person we never talked again we never emailed back and forth and then i'm introduced
to a new person and i'm like okay this is the only time i'm ever going to interact and those ones i
would get a hard time sometimes about like not going out for dinner with them and i'm just i'm sitting
here going these guys reassign me a new rep every six months yeah why bother i would actually rather
just enjoy a meal in peace yeah like put on a tv show on my phone put in my headphones and sit and
eat and get some peace and quiet because i've worked enough today and i don't consider the social aspect
of work to be social i consider it to be work um and that doesn't mean it can never be fun it can be
fun and it can be something that i would prefer to do and i mean it can even be social especially
these days but back when it was like almost exclusively hanging out with people two to three
times my age it was a little bit more of a stretch like i don't mind hanging out with lmg people
i don't necessarily consider that to be work i actually do it because i like it sometimes i uh
don't get to do it and i wish i was doing it like the writer writing department has our um has our
quarterly our quarterly get together tonight they always book it on friday those f**ks
i can somehow never make it because i'm somewhere guys um but anyway back then i definitely had a
very very different take on it and i just wanted lmg to be all about focus on the product and people
will have to kind of they'll email me um sometimes it happens by accident though like you know dbrand
for example we have i would consider you know i have i have friends at dbrand you know it's it's not
just like transactional you know here is sticker thanks give money yeah yeah all right what else
are we talking about
uh okay sorry i'm dealing with something what are you even doing over there i'm trying to figure
something out he's present he's if it helps at all emma he's just as here as he is with you
i'm doing actual work i'm doing actual work what does that even mean what kind of thing to say is
that you're saying i'm not here i'm saying i'm doing work just you know right so he bailed on me just
like he bailed on you this is our only socialized time goodness that's your fault don't even don't
even oh my goodness wow um sheesh mcdonald's quote ask pickles honestly i have no idea what's
happening uh google is helping mcdonald's create a chat bot named ask pickles huh to help employees
troubleshoot problems and push customers to buy more food a little bit questionable on that last bit
so if there's a pause in the conversation do you hold the pickles
where's my bell dad there it is oh man in return mcdonald's will give google access to customer data
from its apps of course they will okay mcdonald's has been experimenting with automated voice orders
since 2019 they spurred tiktok memes back in february due to order bots replacing diet coke with
nine iced teas what added butter and cream packets to an order of plain ice cream and interpreted a
request for 20 chicken nuggets as a request for 220 chicken nuggets oh my goodness i'm into the last
one let's go it knows what i really want dude that's that was our first uh was that the was
that our first company company christmas party essentially yeah it was just a pile of chicken
nuggets because they were on sale it was a first anniversary sort of um let's do this boys yeah
i don't know if yvonne is ever going to forgive me for us doing that without her it was just spur of
the moment it was like we're in ces let's do one nice meal and it kind of became it wasn't really an
actual like yeah but it like became that when we did it again the next year and she also wasn't there
that's true i wasn't gonna bring that one up yeah we do it right now yeah we do we do it up
now yeah yeah christmas party's freaking awesome uh but yeah that's that's mcdonald's ask pickles
we're moving on we're going to grok now uh the beta has rolled out to all x premium plus subscribers
in the u.s um do wait do not use if you hate humor what is it this is on their actual that's in the
that's on the site yeah i'm gonna call that cringe i think that's cringe i think that's cringe i think
that's cringe okay boomer all right i don't know is that cringe i think that's yeah i'm pretty sure
it's cringe i think all right moving on meta ai meta started uh publicly testing the more based you
think you are the more cringe you actually are yeah you have to be called based by an external
party um you can't it's like it's like a nickname you can't give it to yourself you can't decide
you're cool yeah you have like an external review board your mom doesn't count
you're very based son
thanks mom you made a lot to me cringe oh my goodness
oh boy okay uh meta started publicly testing more than 20 new features of its meta ai assistant
including a free image generator called imagine with meta ai and a language translation tool that
maintains the speaker's vocal style called seamless expressive they also showed off their updated uh
relightable gaussian codec avatars very cool uh for vr slash ar it's even better
than before and it's wild let's take a look at that i'm trying to sign into facebook right now i
thought i was signed in on this computer but i evidently am not and it will take me a spicy
minute to get signed in because i love insert current year okay hold on and how easy it is to sign
into anything ever okay what am i look excuse me what am i think this is ar person through the glasses
and then that's ar person on a monitor so i'm going to do it again ar person through the glasses
accurate at the hair strand level ar person on the monitor wow that is that's actually insane
and then i just honestly don't even know what we're looking at anymore
wow that's a recreation isn't it that's nuts that's crazy okay wow i'd be afraid almost that's
wild look into a camera that copies my likeness with that degree of detail and accuracy i mean
there's enough video imagery of me that it's not going to matter but i mean you should might not want
like this part here is crazy might not want your face digitally owned by someone else that accurately
whoa they're using the hand control to move the light source oh that's cool
well oh that's nuts all right moving on um they also showed off their update oh nope that's the same
thing china wants synthetic tiktok girls sorry what this this month saw the publication of not one but
two breakthrough models by chinese and singaporean researchers to generate video based on a still
image and mocap data so you don't have to look into the really fancy camera apparently uh the models
have drawn criticism for being trained on tiktok videos of primarily girls dancing without their
creators consent magic animate was partially developed by researchers from tiktok's parent
company bite dance animate anyone was developed by researchers from alibaba group discussion question
what kind of product slash feature slash experience do you think will bring generative ai fully into the
mainstream um yeah i don't know i i question honestly a lot of how much content is currently out there
that is generated by ai that people don't realize somebody linked me a um you know how there's uh lo-fi
beats to relax and study too and then there's like remixes by everybody yep um somebody linked me one
that was a lord of the rings one that like it just has me questioning things you know i'm not certain
it might be generated i don't know i could be wrong huh i don't necessarily think the images the image
might be but i kind of think the music is because there's parts that like don't really flow right
and i'm just like ah i don't know and it doesn't flow right in a way that makes me think ai stuff if
you know what i mean right i don't know i am finally signed into facebook and brilliant
that was accused to be very nice that was accused to be totally fake they just use tiktok videos to
show what their ai can do what i don't know which part they're talking about so i'm not certain
but yeah it's uh things are getting weird i don't think we know how mainstream things necessarily are
yet because i don't think we know what all is actually generated by ai and what isn't i mean
one thing that's super mainstream is uh pictures and videos of nude people and we can talk about how
ai has been used in that industry the uk is trying to use ai age estimation through facial recognition
so not not a rec not recognition of you the individual your face but an estimation of how old
your face probably is to age gate pornographic websites and is requiring these sites to i believe
it's either um take id from you or this um ai age estimation thing or man there's i think there's
one other one and like people are gonna have to go back to things are getting crazy well no see this is
the thing that i think it was the hub that brought this up the last time uh some american state was
telling them you know oh you need to do this for age verification or whatever else oh yeah you need
to start collecting people's ids they were like look this affects nothing because some site hosted in
timbuktuistan or something is not going to follow any of these rules and as long as the internet exists
you have absolutely no way of enforcing it with those guys so they're just not going to do it and
then people will just not use our site and they'll just use that site which is not a great excuse when
obviously this is something that needs to be managed in some way whether it's from a think of the children
way or whether or whether it's whatever else right um
anyway long story short collecting having third parties collect ids is really bad um having even
your own government collect a list of people who have accessed this these sites is um not much better
yeah i mean uh australia very recently and all their passport info leaked ai age estimation is obviously
stupid especially especially in a world where that thing you just showed me exists yeah yeah
okay sure put the ar glasses right in front of the camera yeah exactly there you go
but hey there's imessage on android for real this time oh wow it was blocked by apple already
this is hilarious three days ago messaging company beeper launched a new app beeper mini which featured
i message on android without needing an apple id that is signed in on a mac server farm somewhere
apple as of this afternoon has blocked the app beeper ceo eric nikikovsky claimed that imessage was
initially reverse engineered by a 16 year old developer who then messaged him and linked him to a working
prototype beeper's team then refined the process by jailbreaking an iphone and figuring out how to
register a phone number with imessage send messages directly to apple servers and have messages sent
back to a user's phone natively inside their app when asked for comment by the verge
mega megakovsky responded that if apple cares about the privacy of its users it should want them to be
able to send encrypted messages to android users rather than unsecure sms that's a pretty good argument
which is obviously not why apple cares about imessage at all and anyone who thinks that that has
anything to do with why apple cares about imessage is
it's good to throw in their face this way misled yeah um when i saw that i was like oh so he's trying
to put pressure on apple to not brazenly reveal that they don't care but the thing is like
um i don't think it's gonna work but yeah sorry dude but apple's users are not capable of recognizing
the hypocrisy of apple's statements and apple's actions and apple super super super doesn't care
the fact that they talk so much about privacy and then if you like go down the rabbit hole of like
where their server farms in china are and stuff it's like it's a whole thing apple gives zero
f**ks yeah um like it's i don't know i don't know man i don't know
i do know they don't care yeah this is a bummer because this seemed pretty cool i think they were
going to charge like two bucks a month or three bucks a month or something something like that
personally i don't care like my apple acquaintances if they want more indeed more messaging features can
just get a messaging app um but apparently the depending on the region it's like a huge deal
or something yeah honestly the the day my kid comes to me and asks for an iphone i'm gonna say why
and if the answer is because my friends have iphones i want to be cool i will ensure
that they never get an iphone until they pay for it themselves absolutely not that is the worst
reason to want anything if you want something because there's a compelling feature because
in your assignment work you know you do a lot of um something that requires spatial capture of of
something and it would really help with you know some extracurricular thing you're doing and you're like
yeah you know what if it's like kids it's like there is another way but like oh kids at school
share notes using airdrop or something because you he would have to inflict like some amount of
maybe small but some amount of societal change to get them to use whatever system he would prefer they use
yeah it's a good question i mean it's one of those things where like
like you can either be a leader or follower and i think honestly that's the conversation i'd have with
them it's like hey that's honestly not the best way to do that anyway and so if if
maybe help him like set up a better solution and then just his job is now to prove that it's better
just one at a time and also like why aren't you taking notes besides if you're the owner of the
notes then everyone should be coming to you for whatever your solution is right like it's be a
leader be a follower there's there's only really two options
john says uh bro next time let me know i'm on speaker did i not tell him he was on speaker you know
you said you were on the wan show you did not say you were on speaker you said you're on the show
yeah yeah full plane chat was talking about it afterwards you did say like i'm on the wan show
which means you are too yeah but you didn't okay technically officially say the words yeah you are on
speaker phone here okay i'll go with the classic investor response
l-o-l
um
oh my god nick says you don't mind hanging out with people now because you're the one who's
2x everyone's age throwing back to that conversation what a guy got him um
john did actually say hi wan show did he oh yeah i got him then yeah i think he did you said you're
also on wan show and i think he said hi wan show boom roasted i don't think i still think you didn't
technically say you're on speaker he might have also meant pass along hi to wan show it's like hey
i'm i'm with my wife yeah okay i say hi you know hi wife you know like but he didn't say say no so
you both left some things up to inference yeah yeah maybe we should have had more ai
uh this is just this is a really short one the us government warned nvidia about
like working around their export restrictions basically like if you redesign a chip around a
particular cut line that enables china to do ai i'm going to control it the very next day
really yeah wow like it that's that's a direct quote yeah u.s commerce secretary
jeez um i think that's it 20 oh 23andme doesn't want to be sued they sent a letter to users informing
them of a change to its terms of service that forces users into arbitration and prevents them from
suing if they don't opt in within 30 days last week the company disclosed to the severity of a data
breach back in october claiming that only 14 000 accounts were compromised however this week it was
revealed that these accounts were linked and could be used to access sensitive data from a total of 6.9
million people including birth year relationship to others and self-reported locations brutal and
apple and google confirm push notification spying u.s senator ron wyden has published a letter
claiming that governments around the world are spying on user metadata through smartphone
app push notifications apple and google have confirmed these claims with apple telling reuters
that the u.s federal government has prohibited them from sharing information about this data
collection based on apple's comments it's likely that wyden's letter exposing the practice has given
them legal ground to disclose the information without being penalized for revealing government
surveillance methods crazy when are they going to admit that the microphone is listening and when you
talk about stuff and they show you ads it's because of that because like honestly man i swear i swear this
is one of those things where they like they they will they will cross their heart hope to die that
that that is not happening but like i talked to someone about pizza and it's like pizza pizza okay
maybe there's other ways maybe there's other ways maybe it never happened it just it feels that way
man it feels that way yeah all right went to after dark uh did we talk about windows 10 for three more
years no but i don't think we said we would okay sick maybe we did i don't think we did it wasn't it
it wasn't the first oh no this was something really cool okay microsoft has offered updates
beyond their sunset for windows to enterprise users many times in the past extending them years even
like a decade plus beyond when they officially stopped getting security updates which raises
some questions if you guys are doing the work anyway why not just let people run this os if they
want to i i get it microsoft wants people kind of move on let's move past because there are benefits
to running newer windows i guess these are not the droids you're looking for but this is cool they've
they've never made that available to the general public before but with windows 10 they will
i just think that's really cool they haven't announced pricing but they will be purchasable
one year at a time according to stat counter windows 10 is still 68 of desktop windows
versions in use worldwide um this happens all the time just in case anyone's like oh that means
windows 11 sucks that same thing happened with eight same thing happened with seven same thing
happened with vista windows 11 fanboy right here same thing happened with xp i loved xp i loved 7
i don't love 11 i can't believe you use 11 you don't it's disgusting the operating system doesn't
matter you know what's really disgusting any time with it at all it's not wine show after dark yet
yep you want it to be yeah yeah this guy it's not my
man i need one more person to buy a screwdriver shaft extension
why uh here hold on i just need to do a thing real quick here
because we're so close oh we're right there dude we're almost there and uh add one other thing
that's not total sales make sure you get something from the bonus bin okay oh yeah yeah so if you buy
one shaft extension and then add something from the bonus bin we're gonna be there we're gonna be
there i'm gonna leave this up till that happens i'm leaving it up wow this is a small fraction of
how many of these we sold yeah but that's just what went through merch messages oh that makes
sense okay yeah knock to addition you guys seem pretty stoked on it so that's pretty cool
someone's gonna do it i'm waiting oh and the stats are broken this week apparently oh
oh okay well that explains it oh no okay don't add a bonus bin item don't add a bonus bin item
i mean you can if you want but just it won't be nice you know
okay mountain do you have to increase your page size to see proper stats mountain do raid ai
twitch thoughts what am i even looking at here i don't have that i just need this number to go up
by one oh wait but if the stats are broken then it might not go up you said you need to increase
your page size to see proper stats but i made it max and it's the same so i don't know maybe our
laptops they can't handle it i give up oh maybe if i refresh it i need to refresh it oh yeah it's done
it's done here we go here we go we're done oh well anyway it's done
whoa
wasn't that exciting i mean i i was pretty excited by it uh okay okay yeah let's see uh i need more of
this there we go uh dang it second cart consolidate much so the second question how will you be changing
your final project approvals going forward for example full tear down of the final product including
cutting it apart not everything will be necessary to cut apart but i'd say anything that has something
inside it yeah we'll probably um we'll probably want to cut it open and make sure that all the
things that are supposed to be inside it are in there i mean there probably would have been ways for
us to non-destructively figure that out just like kind of filling it we just didn't think we had to
check for that because all the samples that previously had been done to spec um it's it's a mistake uh
it's it's one of those ones that's really frustrating because it shouldn't have happened
um and yeah we're gonna we're gonna figure out what our processes need to look like we don't have
anything that we're imminently launching that would be affected by something like this but the next time
it happens yeah we're going to be much better equipped i mean this is one of those things you
you live and you learn and you do your best and you just kind of make it right with the customers
as best you can going forward and you survive and you live and you learn some more and then you
you one day you wake up and you're a screwdriver company i i it's it's been amazing especially
with how much hate there was and how much flack there was it's been kind of funny to watch how many
people said this would be a complete failure and how they have just vanished yeah i have personally read
hundreds if not thousands of comments about how stupid the backpack is or the screwdriver is or what
failures they are or what failures they were going to be and i haven't found one from someone that was
like i was wrong because that's haters right like they just they show up they hate and if the hate's not
accurate they go hate something else right it's not about this it's not about the warranty it's not
about the backpack it's not about any of that stuff it's about just like being angry and it's um that
that's something that i sort of realized a while back and it's given me a little bit more empathy for
it but it's still just like yeah i kind of i kind of i wish for i wish for a better more happy life
for you basically um what else we got hey dll what are your thoughts on the recently announced ram ram
charger an ev truck with a gasoline range extender uh would you review or buy one if you could not a
truck guy um but i could see the office having a use for that just like we use the volt all the time i
mean that's pretty it's pretty much the volt it's an ev with a gasoline range extender um and i don't think
i need to do another whole thing about how much i love the volt it managed to generate a thread on
the forum um someone tried to pick apart everything i said about the volt and like how how stupid it was
and and and how like it's like heavier so like you go through tires faster like all this stuff and i'm
kind of sitting here going there's there's two kinds of people in this world people who love the
chevy volt and people who have never owned a chevy volt um then there's there's there's zero overlap
between those groups as far as i can tell and they basically got dismantled by someone else on
the forum yeah i love the concept i think it's the right way to handle um that balance between
mining the damage we do by mining uh precious metals and the damage we do by burning fossil fuels
we minimize our burning we minimize our mining and we create this one vehicle that's like
you know obviously building a car it's like environmentally devastating no there's no
good way to do it and yeah tells himself otherwise is kidding themselves um but if we can minimize if
we can help with it yeah i support that i think that's awesome oh and linus i got another message
from nick here oh talking about the backpack stuff now um for future we've also already added experts in
materials design which will help with situations oh yeah i mean we hired tatiana like what six
months ago or something like that so we've already it's one of those things where expertise ahead of
time by the time a scandal takes place we're already we've already implemented things that would help
prevent it in the future but they they weren't there when that thing happened like it
we're always trying to do better we're growing company we are literally always trying to do better and
what is this yeah yeah we're always trying to do better that simple and we'll make more mistakes
but we'll handle them uh music mutt asks i bought a backpack right before the announcement on the show
today will i get the 25 credit yes yes you will don't worry we got you has linus seen fanboys yet i
can't tell if it's a good movie but i love it i haven't my sister recommended it to me yeah okay
have you watched clerks i have seen clerks yeah okay i love clerks i love clerks as well fanboys was
all right yeah i read the synopsis or like i read the like normally i don't but my sister recommended
it and i love my sister but her taste in movies doesn't overlap much with mine and so i read not
the synopsis but just like the box you know summary i was like yeah i was like big omega fan of clerks and then
watched fanboys and was like okay yeah okay hey we'll have to do a oh oh we'll have to do a movie
night because i installed something well i someone installed it i oh yeah got something crazy did i
talk dan did i talk on wan show about the biggest tv in the world yeah yeah absolutely did um the the
horrific chinese one that you couldn't get out of china because oh yeah we talked a whole bunch of
yeah yeah yeah yeah okay but did i talk about that i have it you did not yeah didn't think so okay well
i have it it's a two video series because of reasons number one is i think there's too much
content the video would be like really really long um and two because this thing was thousands and
thousands of dollars and i need two videos out of it um honesty is the best policy luke and people
people will flame me for it but i'm just i'm just telling you everyone else is doing the same thing
that i'm doing i'm just being honest with you so don't shoot the messenger um the first video is
kind of it's an unboxing but it's an adventure because 115 inches luke yeah it weighed twice as
much as what the website said it did is there anything else that's because chinese specs i guess
is there anything else that's inaccurate have you measured things hold on all right is its brightness
accurate so so the very process of getting it into the building was an ordeal of epic proportions yeah
um like the the box for it once it's a multi-layer box and once we had it all like packed out it was
like a maze in my rec room like it's incredible this the scale of it 115 inches sounds like almost
double the size of a 65 inch tv yeah it's not because it's diagonally measured it's so much bigger
it's enormous um and it weighs so much it comes with it comes with these silver handles that look
like butt plugs that have threads about this long i just didn't think he was going to say it but they do
they have thread not safe ones they're not flared at the end but they have threads about this long
you screw them into the sides of the tv at about this height and this height so that two like strong
men can move it yeah it's crazy yep so the first video is getting it to the point of powering it on
because there's some oh man okay i'm gonna spoil one i'm gonna spoil one roadblock um
um you cannot get past the opening splash screen unless you have a chinese phone number
you can't get a chinese phone number unless you have a chinese id so even just getting the thing
turned on in the first place was an exercise in in patience and and and and hard work and you
wouldn't like my wife um supply okay i can't i can't i can um sorry what were you nothing don't
worry about it uh anyway the point did we both make the same joke please continue related related
please continue nice um then part two we get brennan from the lab out we measure this thing
um i had some time to experience it try different kinds of content on it and um i
love it every piece of content that i have put on it is like i've never experienced it before and
what's really cool about it is watching sdr content maybe the color experts out there guys
forgive my ignorance here color science is something that i have learned enough about to
get through that segment of the video and then move on and kind of forget half of it and then look
into it again like i've i've built up a little bit of knowledge about it but it is as much magic as it
is science it's it's crazy as soon as you start getting into light and color mixing and the the
perception of the human eye it gets mind-boggling um but something that i have never understood
is when you've got a display like this one for example i think it'll do like eight or 900 nits
peak brightness or something why is it that the sdr peak brightness is like a third of that and that's
always the case why don't you just make the bright parts more brighter i've not a clue i don't understand
that why do you why do you limit the brightness in sdr well guess what this tv doesn't it will do
literally five thousand nits peak brightness on sdr content depending on the conditions
it will do a full screen flash not even a flash like as far as we can actually get flash it can do it can
do full screen white at 850 nits across its entire 115 inch diagonal surface on that playing back sdr
content so i put on how to train your dragon like the one from 2010 the first movie and i flipped it
on for andy and andrew i love that andrew is irish so i'm always like what about second andy
it doesn't matter the point is i put it i put it on for both of them i'm like always saying that to
i shouldn't um i put it on for them and i was like okay this is mind-boggling and they're like
the the opening scene where the dragons are like attacking the village with fireballs or whatever
and i was like okay but wait for it like is your mind blown they're like wow the size wow it looks so
good i can't believe you know it's not it's i can't believe it's not oled the darks are so dark
because it's um mini led a full array local dimming 20 000 zones how'd they even what controller is even
driving that okay it doesn't matter the point is i was like guys guys you haven't even noticed the
craziest part this is sdr content and they were like no is hdr content like painful it's well it reaches
the same peak brightness in sdr and hdr it just yeah is black to the whitest white and it just
is like okay i mean yeah why not that's what i would like to understand and whatever your answer is
is not good because they did it they did it yeah and so that's that's what i want to know and now that
i've seen sdr content that isn't just kneecapped by not allowing the screen to go to full brightness
it has me questioning everything about hdr luke hdr still has a wider color gamut it still looks
better but we could have had we could have had sdr that looked flipping great for years a lot of the
marketing stuff of hdr was around the brightness the peak brightness yeah and not just the peak
brightness look at the the difference between the peak brightness and the blacks and you could do
that in sdr it turns out apparently apparently yeah so it's 115 inches not 150 and the full screen
white was 850 nits it's only in in small points where it will do um the full 5000 nits but on the
115 inch tv you got to remember a one percent window is like this big so have you have you watched pirates
the silicon valley i haven't yet that's funny because that's gonna be so boring on that tv
just like all takes place in like ugly 80s offices a lot of it's just offices and stuff there is some
i mean there's there's some there's some scenes in there with bill gates like when he gets arrested
and stuff um yeah that'll be outside but i mean yeah yeah it's not like a show off a tv movie
i'll say that much um hold on who just who just said this hold on someone just said no hdr on linux
uh someone in flow plane chat no yes yes steam deck i i can't wait for steam os to just be an os i can
just run is that a thing is that going to be a thing apparently someday it's valve time so who knows but
yeah theoretically yes maybe in 20 years yeah this is tcl's 115 inch tv
okay what else we got okay let's see another fun fact about your screwdrivers is that they are able
to be decontaminated from radioactive material if exposed it happened to mine again yes i did tell
all three of you about this at ltx that's hilarious i totally forgot but that's really cool yeah i don't
know what the process is for decontaminating a screwdriver um because of radioactive material
exposure but apparently it survives it but and yet you've bought another one are you sure it didn't
destroy it i think my favorite is again i like yeah yeah the again is what got me me too yeah uh
that's fantastic oh man hackers would have actually been pretty good on it some of those fever dream
sequences and stuff okay tell you what i'll watch it again but only if you watch it with me we'll watch
it together this time all right we'll have to do like a hacker screening at my house sometime yeah
just people can probably only fit so many people in there i don't i don't need like 30 people rsvp-ing
for that theater room it's not that big okay we'll see need a sharp thing for my job at tsmc arizona
my question is why hasn't lidar caught what oh that's sick that's awesome my question is why hasn't
lidar caught on outside of apple phones out of all the terrible things that people copy from apple
why not copy something good because it's really hard apple does really really cool sometimes that's
why that's why i don't get it when people say that i hate apple i don't hate apple when they do cool
stuff i love it i i talk constantly about how amazing their m silicon is they they came in out of
absolutely nowhere and changed the cpu industry that's wild who else could do that
i just hate it when they use their incredible power for evil that's what i hate and they just do
it a lot
hi dll good evening linus saying okay uh boomer triggered my google assistant uh that's actually
when i trigger it at home that's that's the phrase i use as well it's it's hilarious and terrible cursed
knowledge you can literally say that to activate your assistant uh so thanks for that also for
linus what project got you in the most trouble with a bond oh i mean huh there's still time for
the badminton center to be the one i would say recently the the whole house land party she was
not impressed that without talking to her i committed to hosting a like 50 to 100 person event at our house
all weekend yeah that was pretty cool um i knew she'd like you know come around to it once i
explained to her that we owe ubiquity and make good although she knew she knew there was a land she
didn't realize yeah she didn't even know there was a land until she heard it from someone else though
okay yeah she didn't hear any of it from me in fairness to me i did tell people to like talk to
her about it but we're still working on our communication and i mean internally here at the
company ivan and i usually have pretty good communication um this was not a high point for
me though it is very funny what work stuff like the other one won't know about and i'm just like
what well we're at the point now where we don't tell each other everything because
neither of us can fit all the things that go on here in our brains anymore i i get it i just every
once in a while i'm like wow well yeah because we used to like do like the the bed debrief you know
or the shower debrief it's probably good to not do either of those i mean no we still do but like
just it can't be everything anymore yeah yeah and you got to have some limits on where work stuff
happens sure that's what she used to tell me and then i i basically was like well okay hold on a
second what do you want to talk about like this is our adventure yeah that's fair enough like we're
what what is wrong as a couple with like talking about crushing it hey honestly yeah yeah fair enough
right i i i scoffed at it but i'm thinking back and like i mean i talk about work stuff yeah and like
scenarios what's wrong with doing something you're passionate about yeah and doing it together most
couples i just i didn't even really like equate it as work stuff in my head because i'm just yeah i'm
talking about the things that were interesting or important to me we should be we should be so
grateful that we have this thing that we do together all day every day and that we don't
want to kill each other after it like i i don't know i think if you can handle it if you can if you
can do the work together thing there's nothing wrong with talking about it as long as you're both
on the same page like yeah if if someone says look i can't talk about work right now that's a boundary
you don't cross that boundary that's fine but in general no i think it's you know she's like oh we
only talk about work and the kids and i'm like right but is there anything in our lives we're doing
that's more important than our life's work and our kids i'm open to it like this is what we do
together we we we kick ass there's nothing wrong with that yeah let's strategize which angle will
we which angle will we kick the ass from today are we gonna slap the ass
should have waited for him to drink yeah yeah dodging it all right mm-hmm
hey dll question for linus i have a long-term asian girlfriend and i'm white what has been your
experiencing raising half asian children have you had any challenges or any great positives
um i think my kids don't really fully understand the concept of race at this point uh they that's
kind of a thing in bc yeah we're kind of a mixing pot in vancouver anyway and i like i didn't for a long
time like i don't know honestly a lot of kids here are sheltered enough that they don't think it's a big
deal like my kids my kids do understand the concept of it but they don't think about it like
this was just a couple years ago so growing up here it's just it doesn't matter my daughter would
have been i think seven and um she told me about a friend at school who had like i don't know
something she basically told me about a friend and i had just volunteered in her class and so i was
trying to figure out who she was talking about and i was like oh tell me what she looks like
and she goes she keeps her hair in a braid and she wears shoes like this and she says and i'm kind
of sitting here going
think of her
because as adults i i don't know like we're trained to look for these markers but
this is a learned behavior was what i figured out shoes were what were more important to the style of
the hair not even the color yeah yeah but that's what was more important yeah because she thought
that part was more interesting exactly yeah it's not that she doesn't see it yeah so it's um it's one
of those things where it was it was really cool to see how learned this behavior was and like obviously my
own experiences are not going to be the same as what someone else is having but so far
for my kids anyway so good it just doesn't seem to matter um which is pretty cool and someday
uh there's going to be a wake-up call about it and i don't know maybe it's time to start having
those conversations now um but like i don't know let them let them not worry about that and try to
make it as long as they can yeah yeah man yeah linus is like something that sometimes you do
actually kind of want to protect to a certain degree i think yeah sorry keep going
linus would you ever do a ted talk about leadership and adhd no
got them i that is a format that i've been asked to enter or i've been asked to engage in a lot of
times but um i i this was a potential that i curated i interpreted it more as like would you ever
give a talk not specifically a ted talk yeah uh like we we've been pretty deep in negotiations a
couple of times and every time what i worry about is what would i say and it's not that i have
nothing to say i mean i sit here and i talk to you guys for four friggin hours every week like
obviously i can talk if instructed to but i feel like there'd be you guys are chill relatively
speaking every once in a while something will get clipped out of context and just show up on
somewhere or whatever right but like in general when i'm talking to you guys this is a relatively
safe space for broadcasting on the internet um and so if i trip over my words or if i
forget what i'm talking about mid-sentence because these are things that i do speaking of you know
sorry i don't know if i ever let you finish yeah yeah the adhd thing speaking of like i i just i'm
highly distractible right here that's okay i can just say oh yeah what was i talking about again
i'd feel a lot of pressure in a format like a ted talk something more formal and that's something that
even for someone who has experience speaking uh even publicly right like at ltx or whatever else
um i just i just don't know if i really need my life and then the other thing is what would i talk
about i'd want to talk about something that a i can speak about with authority so something i know cold
and b something that isn't just available for free in the existing library of content that you can
find it's like okay well these these are these are not circles with a lot of overlap so i'd have
what i'd have to like intentionally withhold something i don't know i just don't really uh
i just don't really see a ton of value in it i think is the is the biggest issue the paycheck looks good
but i uh it'd have to be the right it'd have to be exactly the right opportunity and it'd have to be
exactly the right topic hey linus i'll be a new dad soon just picking up abc's of gaming and the
shapes order nice any advice for a father to be get ready it's fun enjoy it i mean um most of my kids
are barely big enough for me to like hold them um you know don't forget don't take video clips that
are always staged get lots of little candid stuff like you'd be amazed how fun it is to just watch a
video of like your kid brushing their teeth when they're two you know or try um you know get the
everyday stuff because honestly the posed picture is not what i ever enjoy looking at yeah it's always
the candid and you don't want to be necessarily the parent that always has you know the dslr in the
in the kid's face you know constantly or whatever but just just capture moments capture capture the
the everyday moments those are those are the most magical ones to look back at
what were the fashion department's thoughts of favorite clothing of other brands survey from a
couple months ago i don't think i've gone through it with them yet i'm sorry i wish i had something
to add to that hi linus and luke how's your experience with the 7900 xtx recently i've been
having many driver crashes and the fsr disadvantages versus dlss like in alan wake 2 really made me
second guess my choice cheers i was doing potentials what was that sorry how's the xtx going for you
not good actually yeah it's gotten worse it was good very good up until quite recently and now i've
started having some pretty bad crashing problems i had a full system crash one time i had one situation
where my driver crashed rapidly like four times in a row and then locked my entire system so it would
all my screens would go out standard driver crash it would come back i'd be good for four or five
seconds then it would happen again and then i had to just power down my system power it back up and
then i was fine um it seems to be having an issue in specific locations this one's been interesting to
me like if i play a level i'll driver crash in a specific room and then for just like i'm interested
in things reasons start the level over again driver crash in the same room do it again driver crash in
the same room nothing different seems to be happening in that specific room different than
any other room maybe there's something i i can't see or i'm not noticing i don't know i mean sometimes
things are loaded in the background yep maybe it's something in the next room yeah yeah i don't know
or maybe it's something that's happening like behind a wall i can't see it or i don't know but um
um yeah it's been less good lately unfortunately um but yeah it was stable like rock solid no crashes
from when we made the last video until probably a couple weeks ago and that's been months of zero
problems whatsoever and then very much so within the last couple weeks i've had a decent amount of crashes
um i don't know if it'll stay maybe a driver update will come out and i'll be all good again i'm not
sure but yeah yeah hi lld looking forward to your shaft linus i use the darn tough running socks daily
what are your go-to styles of dt socks cushion or no uh i i i i have cushioned socks i think i'm oh
i'm actually not wearing darn tests today i'm wearing these cute uh youtube socks i got at some event
do i need to blur that i don't know anyway it says it says off hours on the one side and then
youtube on the other side i was out of darn toughs because i didn't put away my laundry last week i
folded it all but it's just sitting in the hamper in my room because i like couldn't get it over the
finish line uh wait so that means you're out of darn toughs well it just means they're buried under
the towels that are at the top of the completely folded laundry thing um yeah i do have i do have the padded
ones though
hey dll i was curious if you remember the first ltd merch sold and how the initial run was
misprinted i still wear my red and black first tank top to mow the lawn thanks for always being solid bro
was that a question yeah do you remember the first ltd merch sold and how the run was misprinted
oh yes yeah it was it was in the wrong color like this see man this is what i'm talking about
we have always always
made our best effort to do the right thing everyone who got those shirts with the wrong color
got another one they didn't even have to return the one that was in the wrong color because they
were red instead of orange like oh yeah i remember that now i honestly didn't remember this at all
like this is this is a whole thing this is the whole thing where i just like i look at this and i sit here
and i go like i get it you guys don't know me or whatever yeah but also like what the
f**k like i've been around you know yeah yeah you can at least if you're gonna if you're gonna hate
like if you're gonna if you're gonna dump on someone at least like do a little bit of research
like that's a lot to expect from the internet yeah i know man how about none research okay last one i've
got here my dashboard is what do you mean uh is it just one yeah okay mine says 23 but i see a few
incomings wait you see 20 oh yeah there's three incomings i guess no mine says 23 curated but i if
there's if we all just see one there's only one left oh shoot i had something in mind for this
i don't remember what it was anymore any progress updates oh yes yes okay sorry dan you go ahead and
read it that's that's the whole thing any progress updates on the laptop bag you can share yes i think
we are probably leaning toward pre-selling this is coming from um the same suppliers the backpack so as long
as we check the top of production um their quality is really good um the product itself
is pretty self-explanatory it's a laptop bag it's great um so i think we will probably take pre-orders
for it and right now that order is on hold pending finding a resolution with these guys for
the backpack bottom issue but hopefully we'll be able to put those on order sometime in the next
couple of months i want to answer any of those uh incomings jonathan says give me an option for
warranty only i don't want the credit for the backpack in my wallet or on your books i trusted you bro
i've seen i've seen a few messages about that i want you to use it i'm that's what i said yeah we
want you to have it yeah we want you to have it for it's as much about making us feel better as it
is about making you feel better we don't feel better unless we've done the right thing if you
don't want something get something for one of your friends yeah yeah buy a gift for a friend like 25
bucks is enough that you can just buy one thing yeah that was kind of the rationale behind that
was we wanted it to be like actually a meaningful amount of money yeah um
luke when is linus getting his pizza hut moment i mean we high-fived today
you also shook hands we also know what this is
i'm starting to wonder if luke doesn't it's more i get to know him yeah um i don't know what that
means but it's probably fair chris asks um what are your thoughts on employers um prying eyes on
remote employees activity gauging performance based on stuff like logins account checkouts etc like that
um i don't know it's something we haven't really had to deal with yet we've definitely had troublesome
employees um we've definitely had people who have productivity issues when they're not in office
our solution is that mostly people are in office where we can keep the have the team together
we're you know managing everyone um for the most part our remote positions are pretty
sort of output measured so we don't do any of this stuff um
a lot of the stuff is useless um if you have intelligent people on your team so that's something
to consider because you have that though i have never seen a single version of like work tracking
that isn't every single person permanently sitting on a webcam which is like ugh um and someone actually
monitoring it all the time which is also ugh um that is actually good like there was one for a long
time that was like their mouse has to move every once in a while and you just see videos of people
that would set up like the rotating fans and just a stick on the rotating fan that's taped to their
mouse and it just moves it back and forth and they're like they're working for sure as i don't
know a lot of the are these people working detection things in my opinion are mostly managers that don't
want to do like productivity and performance tracking um so they're like hey i can just point at this
thing and it says they did so sounds good um but i don't know because they're they're all beatable
every single one that i've ever seen is beatable so at that point if you have an intelligent team
and they really want to beat it they'll just do that so what's the point i don't know anyways okay
curating the last two
then we're done boys linus you used to be at the center of the hiring process has it not been too
hard to delegate such tasks any tips for new bosses such as me thanks um yeah it's really hard to
delegate because i don't know man uh good luck
it's probably fair enough to be honest yeah uh what is the point of hdr when you have some
light control color management and eyes adapt to light luminance and color anyway i noticed
your sirs don't use hdr so do y'all actually also think it's dumb well theaters don't use hdr because
it's expensive some theaters are equipped with hdr in fact some of the theaters are even equipped with
uh like video walls so they get much much brighter than traditional theaters um as for what's the point
of it when it's done well it looks so much better it really really does and i would see absolutely
having an hdr display at home like one that i especially the one i have now even the projector i
had before i can't think of a reason to go to the theater it sucks it's it's not nearly it doesn't
look nearly as good so i don't think it's dumb and even if like i talked about on the show earlier
you could boost the peak brightness of sdr the additional color volume of hdr still does make it
look better and the metadata that's included with hdr content helps to ensure you that your display
is doing its best job of representing the content so it makes the uh it makes the experience more
reproducible across different displays so there's definitely still a point to it and i think there is
a point to mark the end of the wan show we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel bye
bye how do i unbill
how do i unbill
you
