show we've got a great show lined up for you guys this week google's ai overviews feature launched
and is doing all kinds of wacky things citing the onion recommending the health benefits of
drinking urine um good job google uh in other news spotify bricks its thing which is going to
make a lot more sense to you if you know what the thing is which we will cover later what else we
got today ltt released third-party investigation summary and the arm windows revolution might come
packed with a privacy nightmare oh yeah that's going to be very interesting we'll talk about that
do i need to oh okay
the wanshow is brought to you by ridge acronis moosend and our new wanshow partner secret lab
we've been sitting on their chairs for years so it just made sense check them out at the link in the
video description to start us off we've got the ltt release third-party investigation summary lmg
committed to releasing the results when this whole thing started and they did so by posting it on x
formerly known as twitter the wanshow is not the place to discuss hr matters so we won't be talking
about it here go check it out yourself if you are interested i also need to note that any comments in
live chat or merch messages about this topic will just be ignored and any bullying or harassment of
any involved party could result in consequences including a permanent ban so let's just not but
let us continue on with the show yeah do you want to jump right into spotify breaking its thing
yeah okay so first of all i had completely forgotten about the car thing yes okay so it's
an accessory forget about it i never knew it exists slash infotainment device and the idea was to be able
to have spotify in a car that doesn't have android auto or doesn't have carplay or maybe you just don't
feel like using android auto or carplay and you just wanted this dedicated device to connect to spotify
and what's kind of cool about it is that people weren't just using it in their cars um i saw was
it i don't know it was someone uh someone on the internet um said that they kind of used it in their
workshop but basically it was just an interface that allowed you to interface with spotify um it was
invite only and it was launched in april of 2021 and then launched publicly in february of 2022 for
90 it was then pulled from sale just five months later meaning that many devices many users who
own these devices have had them for less than two years and nobody who has one has had it for more
than about three years now just this week spotify well okay hold on first of all spotify began noticing
people um that began notifying people that the car thing will be discontinued as of december 9th of
this year and it will be rendered completely inoperable so not only are they discontinuing it
they're actually going okay this is the date this is the hard date throw it in the garbage it gets
better i don't i mean worse sorry worse that was a verbal typo it gets worse spotify is neither
offering a refund nor is it even offering a store f***ing credit it is basically going hey thanks for
your 90 we hope you enjoyed the limited amount of time that you had to own that product that we
i don't know i guess this is now a retroactive lease agreement um i think you might have basically
just specified this but when was the last what like when people someone have ordered it the same day
that it was discontinued no people could have ordered this as recently as march april may june july
as recently as the summer of 2022 okay so a little less than two years ago that's wild though i don't
get it i don't understand why like i i could understand saying like okay we're going to end
of life this thing it's not going to receive updates but it would probably keep working for
a pretty considerable amount of time uh well yes and no because whatever whatever api hooks it might
rely on maybe it doesn't and i mean this is a funny one to me because it is mind-blowing to me my
understanding and guys correct me if i'm wrong here my understanding is that it's it's just like an android
based pretty simple thing um so from my point of view i don't really see the reason why this
wouldn't have just been like running the android app in the background and the interface wouldn't
have just been the same as any other device in which case to luke's point there's no reason it
couldn't just keep working for a very long period of time kind of like when pebble stopped getting
updates to the app yeah dude that worked for years yeah they didn't actually kill it yeah they didn't
actively shut it down yeah um people are trying to sell them i'm finding uh like ebay.ca people are
trying to sell so the only reason i can think of for them to actively kill it right now would be if
they created some kind of custom backend or custom interface for it to interact with and this is
something that maybe you can explain to me okay because i don't understand it when i read comments
in the youtube creator studio app they are yeah you've talked to me about yeah i've talked to you
about this okay they are not the same as the ones that are publicly accessible okay so for example if i
sort by newest the creator studio app will be like missing a bunch of them and if i go sort by newest
in the on the live site they're all there there there's more of them there
why the ever-loving f**k do they have two databases of the comments on this video
now no no no no no hold on hold on that stop typing stop typing stop typing now they're typing
yeah i know what they're typing too okay youtube is a massive service that has people accessing it from
all over the world it operates at a scale that is barely imaginable to the lay person they absolutely
have geo-replicated servers running their services i get it that's not what this is i don't i don't think
it's and i know this i know this for a fact it's it's i'm hooking into a separate for whatever
reason that i can't possibly fathom it is it is a sub it's a subset why why would you redo work
help me well i don't i don't think they did redo work um i don't think they're pulling from two
different data sets um i'm not necessarily sure what's going on it doesn't make a ton of sense to
me but i don't know how the thing is built and i mean this isn't this isn't my actual job either
so i'm sure developers out there could give a better answer but to me it feels like you have two
you have probably two different front-end solutions pulling in different ways pulling at different
times um why the creator one like you're saying it doesn't have ones that are on the live one
that feels almost backwards to me yeah i would feel like the creator one would pull like more
frequently you would think that that's what i would think so the fact that it works the other way
around feels weird to me yep i don't know i i i can't fully explain it personally okay personally i if
i was building this thing i would expect them to act identically well yeah i can understand how
there would be two different entire teams like the the team that works on the youtube studio app is
probably a team of people that is completely different but why are they doing anything other
than tapping into the same api why so they could but they could in a different way okay why maybe
they pull comments less frequently whatever but why they probably don't talk to each other so they
don't necessarily know how the other team's doing it i would i would think that there would be some
form of standardized thing but like i have no idea i haven't worked at a company in that scale
and it just doesn't make sense to me at all so i'm trying to make assumptions about something that
i i don't get how it would become that way but yeah it's a it's a it's a baffling thing dude there
was i i think it's teams not directly communicating with each other accessing the same repository but in
different ways and that's creating a frustrating experience and there was another discrepancy that i
found a while back that just completely broke my brain i'm gonna i'm gonna see if i can pull it up
because i i sent it to our youtube rep who is a wonderful human being and one of my favoritest
persons that i've ever had the pleasure of dealing with that uh at a tech company um
oh this is a funny one might i be the same repo separate
i don't know all right um anyway what is what is the oh
yeah yeah yeah here we go here we go so i sent a follow-up in uh in march uh so a couple of months
ago um creator studio mobile app shows 98 replies on this thread uh second screenshot is showing
everything that shows up when i scroll all the way down come on folks uh so you can have a look at my
screenshots here this is the creator studio app so it even managed to log the number of replies
there are supposed to be okay and this is oh dang it uh great here we go and then here
is everything that comes up that's all of them that's every reply there is no more room to scroll
it's like eight and when i accessed it publicly because the reason the reason that i was that i was
drawn to this one in particular was because i had replied to it so i replied to it and i was checking
i was checking in on replies to my reply because it was an active conversation
i not only can only see these eight responses i can't see my own f***ing message
when had you had said are those is there a time thing so are all those messages from
before a certain period of time um this is what a decent amount of my theory is leading so i think
those messages are yeah i think it is truncated here but what i can't imagine is any reason why
yeah i don't know i just i think i think that whatever's pulling it is not happening at the
same rate that it happens on the live no because i could go back ages later and they still wouldn't
be there oh yeah yeah so this this is this is the kind of stuff you guys think you got your new
youtube interface and you're all mad about that guys that is the least of their problems they can't
even figure out how many f***ing comments are in it are in a chain like man i i remember i remember
talking to someone someone at youtube about this years ago i was like look if you guys want to be
a social media platform you could be you could be the biggest social media platform like practically
overnight but you've got to deal with comments you've got to deal with user to user interaction
because it's it's a cluster bomb right now and to their credit they've done a lot with respect to
um with respect to moderation automatic moderation of like um bots and stuff like that it's not perfect
but it's so much better than it was a year or two ago but the fact that they don't have like a bad
i can't imagine people aren't posting like ascii tanks anymore but there sure is a lot of others
there's a lot less porn spam a lot less like way less and it's far less overt there's no more whatsapp
numbers and usernames they have they have cut down on a look what i'm seeing a ton of and i'm seeing
this ubiquitously on every video on the platform is amazon's groundbreaking new cryptocurrency
i haven't actually seen a lot of those lately either sorry um is is replies that look extremely
real and then you look at the little photo yep and you're like i still come across a lot of those
but i see those all the time dude what's even the point of those those have got to perform a lot
yeah those can't be that effective so in terms of cutting down on the if i wouldn't be too surprised
if there are some but those comments a lot of the time users clicking on profiles hoping
sure look we can acknowledge the improvement work they wouldn't do it but we can acknowledge the
improvement they don't do it as much yes not even it's improved it's improved so the names needing to
not be like phone numbers and whatsapp ids and stuff that's a big improvement okay so i know that it's been
at least a conversation i don't know internally at google but but externally to google sure for years
that what they should be doing is they should be doing like a more of a reddit style upvoting and
downvoting system if they really want to improve comment quality and do they not is there not can you
not downvote you can upvote and downvote but what you can't have is conversation uh threads
within a parent comment okay so you can't have like multiple branches off of of a that actually gets
pretty confusing when people are replying to each other within that does get confused so uh so this
ended up on speaking of reddit this ended up on the ltt subreddit when i replied to someone on the um
the pool cleaning robot video and and people started kind of saying why this is super aggressive and
defensive here when they thought i was replying to the parent comment but what i was actually replying
to was one of the comments that was a sub comment under it by the original poster so what because i
added them the assumption was that it was replying to the parent comment but it wasn't i was i was
directly addressing things that they had said and when some people noticed and were like um actually
people were like oh what he said makes way more sense because he was actually replying to a completely
different comment but it gets even better and this is this is where i'm going with this uh tying back
to the mobile app when i sort by newest i can't see if a comment is a parent or child comment so i never
even knew that the original post existed i replied directly to their reply to their own comment not knowing
that it was a child comment rather than a parent comment so when i saw some of the backlash to
what i said i was completely thrown for a loop i was like uh oh youtube youtube youtube but we can't
live with you we can't live without you hey thanks for this career um anywho spotify what should they do
what can they do to make this right because i mean it's not going to do us any good to just say oh
yes spotify bad people i hate them forever what what can they do now some amount of store credit
would probably be good at the very least is that enough um how much it was a 90 device this is not
a cheap this is not some throwaway meme product this is something people bought for nearly a hundred
us dollars i mean probably a hundred bucks by the time they pay for shipping for it i don't know if
they free shipped it but whatever in the neighborhood of a hundred us dollars that's not like meme i bought
it at the dollar store money yeah um i don't know you have to be able to stop supporting things
eventually yeah that's a really good point and and whatever reason they did it for the way it
interfaces with spotify is not in a generic way that will continue to work until some unforeseeable
time in the future so yeah you've got to be able to discontinue stuff but like this clearly isn't
right too early um they did stop selling it what a year and a half ago so that's good you should
i believe you should give it more legs than that um and then i mean it isn't turning off for another
seven months so it will have been two and a half years by the time it actually turns off in my opinion
you should never really like deactivate things just let them rot eventually i don't know i'd want to
see i don't think you're going to be able to allow like my my brain wants to is is thinking about like
when when games shut down we always ask them like oh make it so other people can i don't think that's
necessarily going to be able to happen because this isn't like you probably can't like plug a usb into
this thing and like reprogram it i mean easily if it's if it is is it android based does anyone know
because if it is then you almost certainly i've never seen one i mean so i could be wrong you 100
can't okay well then they should do that yeah i mean and look it's linux based why don't they do
that okay people just do that anyways can i make an argument hold on hold on hold on it's hackable
wait one second i know but we're gonna get there we're gonna get give me a second all right i can
understand i was hanging out i was having a good time i know that we were vibing i know that's why
i took it away i just hate seeing joy on your face
i um i can understand why they might not necessarily be able to do that there may be
intellectual property concerns in the code right oh yeah oh okay there could be okay there could be
okay however i think at the very least some kind of nudge nudge or or facilitation
uh for the open source community to to to take it over is in order here i understand why legal might
not have allowed it but i hate this this is such a terrible precedent it's such a terrible way of
behaving as a company that it almost doesn't really matter what the legal advice was you've got
to find a way to do the right thing yeah and the right thing is obviously to make it able to continue
to work and the very very least they could have done is to not actively brick it so apparently people
have already done a usb unlock of it there's already a jailbreak yes what i think would be
pretty sick in my opinion there's apparently a subreddit already i love it car thing hacks nice
uh what i think would be pretty sick is if they if they gave some spotify developer time
to the open source project i think that would be that would be such even if they're still gonna shut
it down in december or whatever i think that would be such a a good faith good guy move that people
would be willing to look past a lot of the crappiness of this situation yeah because it's
not great it hasn't been conducted great so far and they can't commit i'm just gonna defend them
slightly they can't commit to this forever no you can't support something forever but if they're like
all right problem with smart devices that's why i didn't buy that uh that floor cleaning robot
because i told you about that conversation right where i was like okay but what happens if you go
bankrupt does it operate without your cloud thing and they're like well yeah we're it's not going to
go away and i'm like right but if it does what happens is it a brick well yeah but we're doing
great we're not going to go away you a f***ing idiot i'm not gonna buy it was it was it was like
eighteen thousand dollars or something like i'm not gonna spend that kind of money on something that
just turns off a lot of things like that like infrastructure like that is going to be in
deployment for the entire existence of that building i could expect that robot to work for 25 years i
don't think i don't know even if your company doesn't go under you could get acquired by someone
who doesn't give two shits about floor cleaning robots maybe they want to use your your automated
pathfinding technology for a military application or something i don't care about my stupid badminton
building yeah see you later you never know you don't know yeah but so i yeah i think i think that
would actually be very cool is if spotify software developers spotify software engineers were given
a little bit of time it has to be limited it's not gonna be able to be a ton they're discontinuing this
for a reason but a decent amount of time enough time to make a really solid uh contribution to the
open source project don't take it over don't have anyone become leads on it or anything but try to
contribute really heavily and get it to a point where the open source community is like pretty stoked on
it and then just let them have it and leave
and that's not like a happy ending but it's a neat ending i don't think it's that kind of device
i mean i'm sure in open source that does exist i'm sure it does too
all right oh man what is our next topic going to be imagine imagine
the fact that he can't even get it out this is not a good sign he's never had this problem
i haven't been cancelled in a while
just imagine being like yeah you know what this isn't good enough i need i need to push
contributing code imagine like just having that
open source open legs i need some people to test this one
push the contributing code then you gotta pull it
i'm on the alpha version of the the new thing
i need to really access to all my features
works with android 15
oh man all righty do you want to pick our next topic
yeah yeah yeah should we do our new channel
yeah actually i want to i want to see like because i think a lot of people don't know that it's live
i want to see comments live of what people think
of like the voice and stuff because it's a relatively short video so people could go watch
it i mean it's our own video we can watch it yeah we can react to our own video dang it
we can do that we can do that it's the internet it's it's online it's it's brought to you by um
a secret lab secret yeah there's their logo sure whatever that one's not even legible yeah
way to go luke oh what a guy it's obviously my fault um all right i've got i've got it loaded up
dan are they able to hear if i if i do stuff why don't i do a couple pings you can make sure my
audio is working yep i can see that coming through it's here folks i'm just gonna play it for you
we're gonna watch it together and we're gonna talk about how it came to be can we hear it that's
the question uh i mean luke and i have listened to it but okay whatever hopefully we can but yeah
yeah it'd be nice i'll see what i can do okay yeah i don't hear it now all right linus lap
that's what the button says okay what
there we go there we go
there we go
and measures 150 by 86 by 140 millimeters considering cable flexibility it has an effective
depth of 175 millimeters the corsair rm 750e is accompanied by the accessories as shown and
supported by a seven year warranty this warranty period is as expected for a power supply of this
class the fully modular cables are of acceptable quality they have plastic insulation and are
moderately flexible the provided cable set includes a single 12 volt high power cable allowing it to
power all types of high wattage gpus ltt labs conducted all of the following testing at an ambient
temperature of 20 degrees celsius the full test suite including tests at extended temperature ranges
is available on the labs website linked in the description but before we get to the results here's a
message from our sponsor the corsair rm 750e carries an 80 plus gold rating and we measure 90 efficiency
at 50 of its maximum rated load that's equivalent to power supplies in a similar class throughout the
full rated output power range of 750 watts there was a 0.162 volts drop on the 12 volt rail which is
within atx specifications and similar to most other power supplies we've tested the rest of the output
rails met atx specifications this stability should provide a steady platform for the operation of
other components in the computer the peak to peak signal ripple of the fully loaded power supplies 12
volt rail was average for its price and wattage at 31 millivolts the 5 volt and 3.3 volt rails had signal
ripple of 17 millivolts and 21 millivolts respectively modern power supplies typically have no issue complying
with atx ripple specs and this unit is no different we test the power supplies resilience
to momentary power dropouts and ripples using our brownout test that interrupts the input power for a few
milliseconds this allows us to measure how long of a power dropout the sample can sustain without
interrupting the output power the corsair rm 750e was measured to withstand 13 milliseconds and 14 milliseconds
dropout at full rated load for 115 volt and 230 volt inputs respectively this unit performs similarly
to other power supplies the excursion test momentarily applies up to 200 of the rated load to test a power
supply's ability to support components that may temporarily require more than their rated current
the corsair rm 750e withstood a subset of the excursions but failed with others it's compatible with
most systems but may struggle with high-end hardware connecting the corsair rm 750e is equipped with
the protection as listed providing the full suite of protections for you and your equipment we measured
the overpower protection to engage at a maximum of 131 of rated load while the 12 volt rail alone
is capable of 81 amps 130 of its rating this is equivalent to similarly rated power supplies offering
good protection against component faults while also allowing the power drop to slightly exceed the
official rating we can recommend the corsair rm 750e because of its good load and line regulation
and resilience to cross loads for full specifications and test results follow the link to the product page
on the ltt labs website all right so let's talk about it i i jotted down some notes from chat while we
were going um so a couple of these i think i can just answer immediately a couple of these maybe become
discussion uh one of them is voice too slow in that case in my opinion just adjust the video playback
speed you know it's funny because i actually saw some comments saying that it was too fast
on float plane adjust the video playback speed yeah like not too fast someone said that normally they
watch at one and a half speed and they had to slow this one down to to one x interesting so it's going
to depend on your familiarity with the subject material i think i suspect people are saying like the voice
cadence is off and stuff that'll improve over time um considering where we started it's way the first
time we previewed this was probably about three or four months ago something like that man this is
this is a big improvement so it will consistently improve some comments that i saw were like it's not
taking uh like breaks to breathe mm-hmm i mean it doesn't breathe so that makes sense i heard a breath
though i heard it take a breath did you really it's entertaining yeah it has a breath yeah it
doesn't like pause like there's the sentence pauses they're not yeah it doesn't run out of air
yeah i noticed that as well yeah um so like stuff like that will be improved over time yep
um someone said i'd stop watching that's completely fine yeah um one of the reasons why people have been
asking why we chose ai voice for this um because these aren't going to make like any money at all
um and there's like well it's not just that these are not going to get any views which is why that's
going to be a thing which is why they're not going to drive any revenue and i suspect watch time isn't
necessarily going to be amazing stuff like that there's there's comments like i'd stop watching
not enough emotion stuff like that that's fine it's not supposed to be hyped up really exciting
interesting content to watch it's supposed to be like i am interested in purchasing this product
i would like a very on the point information heavy cookie cutter video third party validated
give me the information and then if you're interested in diving into more because you
saw one part that you found is interesting then you can jump to the labs website and get more info
there it's not it's that i don't suspect unless you're like i really freaking love power supplies dude
um i don't expect you're going to watch every video on this channel i i suspect the subscriber
conversion for a channel like this is not going to be super high but if this was back in the day
and i was building computers this is the exact type of stuff i would have tried to find because
this is why i would look at content on youtube was because i wanted to see video of the thing out of
the box that was like a hundred percent what i was looking for i didn't care about the unboxing
experience i wanted to see the thing after it was out of the box and to verify some assumptions i was
making and there's going to be people that are going to watch a lot of videos on the channel
sure but they're not going to subscribe for entertainment unless maybe they work in the
industry like if i if my if my job was procurement at a system integrator and i was just like totally
oh well this is convenient if these guys are just going to test every power supply and i can just
get a notification on my phone so i can make sure that i'm keeping up with with what's good because
it's like my job absolutely i could see someone subscribing but for the average builder who's putting
together a system for you know their roommate this quarter and you know doing something for their
sister six months later subscribe to it but it's very likely you'll watch one of them or you'll
or you know what like we haven't given much thought to playlists i guess i just it just popped
into my head maybe maybe bell uh dick belevance is is the channel manager for this but yeah um
i don't think we've given a ton of thought to that yet but uh you know something that would be
cool is if we had playlists that are like at various wattage ranges or playlists that are at
various price points price points will be tough because they're going to change so unless we had a
way to unless there's a way to like hook into youtube's api and and manage your playlists
automatically or something like that based on you know pulling real-time pricing information
or something i don't think we'll be able to do by price but if we could do it by wattage range
for example then that would be a really cool way to go through the channel and basically go okay
out of 500 watt power supplies okay i want to learn about some of these of course i understand
and this is this is a comment that i saw i guess it was over on over on floatplane where someone was
like this doesn't see or maybe it's on it maybe it's on twitter um this doesn't seem to add a lot
compared to reading an article you are right the correct format for a power supply one pager is a page
yeah not a video but what we have to recognize is the realities that exist in the techosphere in the
media sphere that have made it so that this abomination is now how you will find out about
the the testing data of a power supply viewer habits have changed to video the money that used to be in
written media is a fund is functionally gone compared to how it was in the in the you know
early to mid to even late thousands will not read something people will not read something and even if
they did that site that writes that thing that no one's reading would have an in an extremely difficult
time surviving so the equipment that's involved in this and the personnel that's involved in this
um is is so expensive i just don't see a path where you could do this testing in a written format unless
unless it was you know like to my point earlier about being very interesting to people who are in
the industry unless it was like a paid subscription or something like that but that's not where we want
to go at least with the basics of is this thing okay to buy what kind of computer can it power what
kind of do its safety protections actually work like that's not something that we want to paywall
um i do think that there could be more detailed testing data that might only really be useful to
you know people who are going okay can we procure uh you know thousands of these for our systems for
next quarter or something like that and okay an example of that or like i have an extremely particular
type of load that i need to put on this sure um in the long term you know i could see us scaling up
the number of those chroma testing units that we have and we could go okay yeah i mean or even do
like paid testing yeah we'll we'll test 10 instead of just one we'll test 10 we'll run your suite on it
whatever yeah or whatever the case may be so in in the in the long term there's all kinds of different
directions that we can go with it but the reality is if we want this content to exist we've got to go
where the reader is and the reader is now watching in video form um so and how many people that's a
big question mark right is one of the answers we were trying to find when we were uh working on the
concept for this channel because this channel exists because we want to make it we want this information
to be available um but one of the things that we had to figure out is okay how do we make this
self-sufficient it's not the question wasn't even how do we make money the question was how do we make
this make any sense um because don't kid yourself this is a creative company we're a media organization
if you don't think that there were some misgivings internally around ai voice for example oh yeah come
on guys there were absolutely misgivings but the way that we're looking at it and the way that we've
messaged it internally is look this is not replacing human intervention a human develop this test suite
and a human needs to test this power supply by the time we do that i'm sorry but there isn't for the for
the two to four thousand views we're going to get on this video there just isn't any budget for the the
media side of things and in the long term i want that to change i would love for that to change i would
love for everything look i would love in the longer term for us to be able to count on a hundred
thousand or two hundred thousand views per video and for us to go okay let's scale it up like why
are why are we doing this all cookie cutter now now that we've got this kind of momentum um but i don't
know if it'll ever get there starts performing like that sure i just i don't see it happening
personally well maybe i i see it happening in spikes like i i suspect if some like flagship gpu comes out
and we have a gpu equivalent of power supply circuit so i'm making multiple assumptions
here um it could be a banger but i think the day-to-day releases of that channel are not going
to be able to and you might be right and see i i'd be happy to be wrong but like one of the one of the
kind of tough conversations that i had to have with someone who um to their credit approached me about it
sure approached me with the concerns right like that's what we want so they approached me with
the concerns and they basically went look i i have serious i have serious ethical concerns i have
serious creative concerns um i i don't understand who this is for um help explain it to me i basically
went okay here's the situation we went and we looked at the very few channels that are left that are
even trying to do dedicated videos on power on an individual power supply skew um we are expecting
at the very best at the very very possible best somewhere in the neighborhood of like five to ten
thousand views on average for each of these videos that puts our budget somewhere in the neighborhood of
ten to twenty five dollars what would you have me do i want people to have this information
i need to get it to them in video form my options are either that i outsource to some place where i can
pay like slave labor wages which we have never done and i have never been comfortable with or we pay proper
wages to the testers to the people who are working on creating this data we try to find a way to scale
that from you know 10 to 25 bucks to maybe we can scrape together some affiliate revenue
um to make sure that this is sustainable in that form and we lean on automated tools as much as we have
to to make this even remotely have a chance and they kind of went well i hope the voice can be better
and at least it is at least it's better than it was it's a lot better in my opinion and and i i do
like i said earlier suspect there will be continual improvement there i just i one thing that i
disliked a lot was when it was your voice when it was a modification of your voice that i can see
that that was odd for me i didn't like that so the funny thing is one of the reasons that we had
actually leaned that way initially was that there seemed to be less community backlash to cloning my
voice versus cloning a random one because i don't know why but it seems like the perception was less
that we replaced a voice actor with an ai and the perception was more we are we are applying a an
efficiency factor to linus's time by saving him the trouble of reading the lines and the the distinction
is arbitrary yeah what but but but that voice sounding like me made it an extension of me
instead of this whole this whole landscape is is weird to navigate oh i know right it's it's true
because we're all figuring out kind of how we feel about these things and where the lines are and stuff
and while that's still happening it's just it's it's a little tricky but i think this is okay and i like
the idea of if the channel does start performing well we could you know get talent for it or whatever that's
that's interesting i do suspect the quoted number of views that you just said i think some of the
videos on these channels are going to do a lot worse than that oh yeah and i think some of the videos
on these channels will smash that out of the park i think so too i think um and it's going to be very
up and down i think very inconsistent here's something that i bet you guys didn't necessarily realize
is the ai voice is not the only automation tool that's being used for these videos i don't think
i knew that a human editor only watches the output
of the video yeah whoa yeah so so the reason the script is a little bit formulaic sounding is because
it's actually yes a template you're doing the same shots so are you are you naming the files
in a certain way is that how it's doing it so all the shots will be the same all the graphics will be
the same with the same names ish the exact details of how it's done are going to be ed's department not
mine right um but then the the the the little cut the little color commentary because that was
something we realized about the first one that needed to be fixed it had no context it was just
like the however point whatever miller ripples like it didn't it didn't sound like anything if
you don't already understand it right yeah and so i was like okay look guys we have to come up with a
way to create a script that allows for some color commentary or we are going to completely lose any
chance we could possibly have of people watching this thing and learning anything so when it
says this is as expected for power supplies of this class there's basically variables there's
almost like a drop down box this is worse than expected this is better than expected this is as
expected so when it did like the cables are of acceptable bendiness or whatever the cables are of
exceptional bendiness the cables are of subpar bendiness compared to our expectations and now a human
is involved in in bending those cables and seeing okay yeah we know the depth of the power supply but
like really what can you fit it because that was something that i asked to be added because the depth
of a power supply doesn't tell you what case it can fit in you need to know once accounting for cable
bendiness how deep it is right um so that was something that so that's something that a human needs to
do this is not ai content this is highly human created content that is edited together and voiced
by automation tools it's something that i have no idea if it's gonna work but boy do i ever hope so
given how much we've invested in it because i don't think the labs website on its own is going to have
a chance of of reaching any kind of break-even point no it's got to be something that can be
funded by the other branches of our company and that um and and that will allow us to reinvest in
it and continue to build we have some ideas to help it uh but it will always kind of struggle a bit yeah
exciting right well i'm excited
oh right we're supposed to do merch message i'm excited to tell you guys about those uh
do we have any store updates that we're supposed to talk about i haven't looked at that part of the
oh oh yes we have a huge promotion that we are running right now on the ltt screwdriver this
applies to any screwdriver that's right classic colors retro noctua or stubby if you buy any ltt
screwdriver by uh oh really by midnight today wow that's a really short draw okay you'll be
entered into a draw to win either a giant ltt screwdriver check that out oh that's from that
stream we did earlier this week or a 2200 gaming pc as seen on our pc building stream this
last wednesday for the full details and legal info you got to go to lttstore.com slash products
slash screwdriver ah so cool right anyway uh one of the things that you can do if you decide to
order a screwdriver right now is you can leave a merch message in the shopping cart we don't want to
just take your money just you throw your money at your screen and then what we like acknowledge your
comment no no no no no you should leave a merch message so you can throw money at your screen and
get great quality merchandise in the mail in the cart you'll see a little box whenever we're live to
leave a merch message it will go to producer dan who will pop it up on the bottom down there like that
reply to it forward it internally to someone who can best get you an answer or oh sorry dan curate it
sorry dan uh sorry my bad the button's broken yeah for sure or he will curate it for me and luke to
address on the show dan do you want to hit us with a merch message to show the folks how it works sure
absolutely yeah we've got a few here let's see uh would you make an apple leather jacket
no
so oh please make a medium tall i need to replace my leather jacket so bad so please
you know how we did tall shirts yet dan we're losing this war i don't care i will have them custard
custom tailor me one you know how we did that mock neck yeah that we called the steve
where it had the seam down the middle just like his iconic okay so i had oh no i had the jensen
the steve apple i had planned so matthew from creator warehouse his amd ultimate tech upgrade is
coming up okay and i don't know if it's going to make it into the cut because it's sponsored by amd
so who knows what the it might not make it through our own internal business team you know right
whatever and it's not like it's it's not like it matters in terms of our editorial integrity if we can
talk about a future product or whatever so it's not the kind of thing that's not the kind of hill
we're going to die on so it might not make it through our internal team it might not make it through amd
but one of the things that happened in that video is matthew and i decided to tease a potential
upcoming product called the jensen the jensen because we've wanted to do a leather jacket for a
while i don't know what kind of leather we'd use we actually haven't gotten that far but one of the
things we have decided is that the jacket will be designed by ai because of course it would oh
he's already got some really great concepts so obviously because you know we have designers um
we would make it actually function in the real world but it would have like pockets that don't open
zippers that don't go anywhere at least it doesn't have to do hands you know ai things the ai the ai
jacket the jensen huh uh dan dan huh i think if it's in a medium tall i will buy two right i think
that sounds sick w please make a bomber though two in float plane chat uh has summarized my thoughts
so far of that's going to be a really expensive joke how many do you think you're going to sell
you're going to sell two to dan it's going to be a really expensive but he's going to use his employee
thing so you'll make nothing i'll pay out of pocket i don't care dude i okay so you're selling two to
dan i guarantee you i guarantee you okay guys come on let's hear from you who wants one dan i need i
think we need to get a poll in here oh yeah right away yeah uh firefox let's get that poll and besides
and besides if it doesn't sell in the in the google find your life video one of the one of the top
comments was like along with all the float plane users i am 70 of people that use firefox or something
like that i don't remember the exact sign and i i burst out laughing i was like oh but think about
it this way luke even if we don't sell any of them infinite money glitch we just write them off
all right we'll get that going you mad are you mad bro i'm voting no brother are you angry i do
need to replace this jacket though why oh i'm so excited i i can't find a leather tailor to actually
work on it we're still looking i'm trying to find an artist collective around here that could
recommend an artisan but it's very very difficult i know a person who works with leather goods who
lives on vancouver island because he came to uh ltx oh yeah you're not talking about that person are you
is it someone i know no oh okay never mind um i can't find any company that makes them anymore
so yeah all right well bummer for dan yeah yeah maybe we'll get him a jensen
that'd be cool okay where's our where's our pool do you want pockets that don't open and zippers
that are to nothing do you want that is that a good is that is that dude clothes are more interesting
clothes are supposed to be self-expression artistic self-expression and i gotta remember this the
person who has one brand of socks and right i've been wearing one jacket for ten years of t-shirts
ten years i've been wearing this jacket in this case i haven't even changed my shoes in a decade in this
case the use multiple pairs of the same one to be clear the use of ai actually makes sense it's it's
so meta like it's an it could even be an ironic expression of like it's nvidia of like hating ai
it needs a little uh pocket where's the ding it needs a just yeah exactly that's what i'm talking
about that's the first time i've had to do that for luke he deserved it disgusting it needs to have a
pocket on the on the like uh chest for uh your humane pin oh yeah but it should be like the wrong size
because you have all the yeah yeah it has no concept it doesn't it doesn't fit all the product
failure pockets you have like the you may have and you have like a slot for the rabbit we'll make
it out of rabbit leather oh 45 000 jacket that's a lot of rabbits mood murdered yeah um oh hey
it'd just be android anyway sorry uh were we supposed to be on a topic right now because i actually
wanted to come back to psu circuit a little bit that was the second rich message that was one
merge oh that was one okay uh hit me again and i'm just gonna leave this page open so i don't
forget to talk about it okay yeah sure uh same sort of thing curious about the amount of stolen items
found during tech upgrade videos were the items actually considered stolen or is this just a joke
about the amount of stuff employees take back with them both a little bit of both i think yes both is
good um okay sorry i was eating jerky um okay so part of it is that i was a little bit legitimately
annoyed in some of the very early ones to find work property in people's homes nothing that mattered
um in the grand scheme of things what were some of those things like what like cables like a like
a cheap usb dock that realistically we didn't pay for and and probably they intended to return at some
point because remember we started this series when work from home was a lot more common at our company
because of all the covid lockdowns and stuff right so people had a lot of stuff at home that
they were probably going to return it but it wasn't assetted at like asset tagged inventory so nothing
would have prevented them from just keeping it and so it was this kind of gray area where
it kind of started with me being like hey come on man and then obviously i ended up with a lot of false
positives because legitimately people do end up with a lot of stuff that used to belong to the
company you know we got ltt store well we also have the lmg store which is where people can sometimes
get access to you know a unit that came in for b-roll for a sponsor and ended up having cosmetic damage
and they were like well we don't want it back and it goes in the it goes in the giveaway pile we have
a giveaway pile um we also have wild christmas parties not in like a like a tech bro silicon valley
games industry kind of way in like a wow i can't believe the giveaways um that they're giving that
they have at this uh you know two drink maximum otherwise pretty you know controlled party um so so
people end up with stuff from the christmas party uh people end up with we have done on occasion in the
past um the christmas party is a lot of stuff it's hundreds of things every year we have done on
occasion in the past um like extra credit things that people can do for what we call lmg bucks i
don't think we've done that in a long time but in the early days i've never even heard of that yeah no
we we would have stuff that's like uh this power supply has a broken fan in it linus could open it and
put a new fan in or if you wanted to just like take it home with you and put a new fan in it then you
can have 50 lmg bucks or something like that and if you if you buy stuff when i was off float
planning yeah i've never heard of this almost almost no one used it but this is just an example of
one of the ways that people could have obtained stuff over the years um i used to just get paid in
hardware that i mean no yeah not by me yes well topped up you were above the legal limit otherwise
yes yes yes yes you can't say stuff like that luke you gotta people are gonna
you know how old people are it was fun anyway so lmg bucks uh for stuff that's in our inventory
that's like used we don't if people want to like buy it and we don't need it we don't charge full
price for it so people can use lmg bucks to stretch a dollar pretty far so people people use lmg
bucks um a lot so people have stuff that they've bought from work stuff that they have won from
work stuff that they've taken home from work for legitimate purposes and in the case of dennis
stuff that they've just taken um because i don't know he thinks he has tenure or something i'm not
sure how that works in his head so it is a it is a combination of things and like anything it's been
amusing for me to see the community speculation around it because the number of people that are outraged
either way is baffling uh the people that are that are outraged that i am that i am such a that
i'm such a i don't know overbearing horrible boss that i'm gonna be berating someone in public over
this cable that they took um is a probably about equal to the number of people that hate me for being
such a such a disorganized corporate overlord that i can't even inspire my team in this
horrible toxic work environment to not be stealing anything that isn't bolted down
like it's it's amazing how you could just take a a joke that's just a meme and interpret it as
i've always i've always wondered like if we do one at my place
what stuff like what stuff will not be stolen
i because it's a lot of it like i don't even know
like i i don't know well that's what asset tags are for yeah but sometimes there's asset tags on
stuff that was given away really yeah oh really yeah okay well we'll see uh i might remember and
then i think i have like three generations you know i personally select the items for the giveaway
every year right yeah yeah that's what i know but there's there's three generations of computers in my
place that are from my like weird upgrade thing that i have mm-hmm well i guess we'll see i like
found some graphics cards at my dad's place and i recognize them as work property yeah yeah so i
think we'll figure it out but i didn't even know but i did so like it's yeah it might be interesting
guilty oh yeah i've taken stuff home
i don't anymore but like i don't know the line used to be a lot more blurry when there was like three of
us um it used to be as simple as like hey my gpu died um i want a game this weekend and i like
don't want to go to the store yeah can i borrow gpu and it'd be like yeah i don't take one of the
ones we need for this review on tuesday yeah i need these ones it's like okay i'll grab some other
ones yeah it used to be pretty loosey it was pretty fluid but that was that was a really so the stuff
that i have is going to be like ancient i would say these days the vast majority of what i'm memeing on
on on camera i am memeing on yeah it's it's mostly the yeah it's mostly going to be the really old
stuff this is why luke hasn't gotten an upgrade yet says bell in the chat yeah i love it every day
every day i'm upgrading
sorry um right so i had wanted to come back to the labs website for a second here oh
because we also have the written version of that video yeah which i didn't mention before so you
know that's pretty cool so it's it's just like we want to make it so that this work that we're doing
is digestible easily by as many people as possible so we have the written version which is as deep as
it's going to get basically and then there's also the video version for people that don't like reading
stuff yep depending on uh you know what part of the world you live in you might be more interested
in 115 volt versus uh 230 volt power excursion productivity might also be easier for you to
just like google translate the labs website yeah that way yeah exactly uh so we got that there and
then this is really cool they also did and this is uh co-authored by oni um our test technician and lucas who
is our power supply uh wizard um that is to help you power up your knowledge and it's basically a how
to how to watch how to read cool right where they go through our graphing formats kind of explain uh why
we've laid them out the way that we have how to interpret them uh what matters what doesn't uh this oh man
this was this was an entire probably half an hour to 45 minutes of a meeting this this graph and uh
breaking the sine wave and the interruption during the brown out off onto this separate graph um
and i i got to make one of my best jokes ever in a meeting that i think i already alluded to on
when show before so i won't make the rest of you suffer yeah i thought that was wrong hold on one
sec i think i think you slipped uh oni's title is senior content writer not technician oh sorry sorry
sorry writer writer yep thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you sorry sorry sorry um he was
just focusing on the next thing he was gonna say it's sorry oni yeah enjoy your gpu that you got
consolation prize something yeah she was in a video oh yeah she was oh yeah yeah no i saw that um
that's a pretty sick consolation prize um anywho so yeah there was there was a lot of debate about
this graph um and like you know how to make it more readable so yeah we gave a lot of thought to it
and if you guys want to know what the thinking was and how to interpret it this is a really great
primer on how to understand if a power supply is any good very exciting okay what do you want to talk
about next uh we're off merch messages right we're doing other topics i want to talk about the paper
says yeah yeah i want to talk about i just read what's on the prompter you san diego the arm windows
revolution might come packed with a privacy nightmare oh i know right okay all right do the thing so this
was the topic that hit me this week i i dove into this a little bit but i'm going to read these notes
first and then i'll tangent into whatever i'm thinking of uh this week microsoft officially
unveiled its new lineup of laptops featuring qualcomm's 12 core snapdragon x elite and 10 core
snapdragon x plus chips all of which are based on arm that's like the big drop here these laptops
reportedly have a battery life of 17 to 20 hours and several apparently outperform an m3 macbook air
acer asus dell hp inspiron i thought it was hp inspiron is inspiron a different brand uh inspiron
is a dell brand so i don't know don't worry about it samsung and lenovo have likewise announced
new snapdrag powered lap snapdrag snapdragon powered laptops um laptop lineups as well these laptops will
launch with native arm versions of adobe photoshop lightroom firefly and express it's an interesting
setup to not have premiere but it does say with premiere and illustrator coming later in the
summer microsoft is no longer calling these ai pcs instead calling them copilot plus pcs
which really makes me think of uh gnu plus linux but anyways um the company is heavily emphasizing
their ai capabilities including uncontroversial features like ai upscaling but all it's not completely
uncontroversial but sure um but also a recall feature this is the one that stood out to me
uh that has raised some concerns among uh i almost said piracy among privacy advocates recall gives copilot
a kind of literal photographic memory by taking an automatic screenshot every three seconds this would
store around three months of a user's recent activity by default according to microsoft the feature can be
turned on or off and these snapshots which the vast majority of windows users will never turn it off
because the vast majority of windows users never go into settings and change anything so keep that in
mind uh so you might most people won't um these snapshots are encrypted and stored locally and may be
deleted at any time further users can create blacklists that prevent recall from taking screenshots when
certain apps or websites are open likewise these images are tied to specific user profiles on the
device critics however have expressed concern that the feature could still wind up capturing sensitive
information because of course it could which might be abused by someone with access to the device
especially if a person unknowingly borrows a device or uses a public device with this feature enabled
the uk's information commissioner's office has announced that it will be making inquiries into
potential security issues posed by the feature i mean this is one of those topics where we read the thing
and then i think we basically go that's bad yeah yeah yeah um elijah in chat who i don't like acknowledging
because he's supposed to be working but it's after hours so i guess it's fine elijah says for his amd
ultimate tech upgrade which by the way is coming oh he's gonna switch to linux over this feature
and you know what oh i don't even blame him based even though you can turn it off it's like yeah you can
turn it off now and then windows will update and i'll turn it back on and it won't tell you
and we've seen it time and time and time and time again and you know what i i think with man with the
with the way that things are developing right now man that's so based on game compatibility on linux
um my understanding and i haven't talked to emily about this much but i have a little bit because
she's been pushing me to do another steam os gaming check-in or not steam os uh gaming on linux check-in
okay because it's been a little while and i kept saying look i want to do it when steam os gets
released broadly and she's all like yeah but like is that ever going to happen i i've been like yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah now i'm not i don't know who knows it's a good question yeah it's a good question
so anyway we're gonna do it um but from from that conversation she was basically saying yeah and
nvidia driver support is looking like it's like gonna get a lot better like like soon like like they care
um dude like is linux going to be the gaming operating system wait and windows becomes the
like or like is linux going to be the like the x86 gaming operating system and is windows i mean
looking how hard microsoft is pushing are they going to become like the arm the the arm productivity
you know operating system the mobile like laptop only operating system computers and here's what's
really confusing to me about this is why is microsoft so focused on beating the macbook oh dude what's
the is apple's market share even this interview opens with him talking i know i know first line
mentions apple directly it's weird but here's the thing
this is apple's market share according to statista 16 yeah so like what's the what are you doing so
what it's like it's like intel at the the prime of their market share which was not that long ago but
intel at the at the height the prime of their market share opening a new feature talk by naming amd
why like what are you doing you already dominate it's weird i don't know man and i like
yeah
like dude oh apparently this is this is in the united states too so that's going to be way higher than it
is worldwide yeah 100 and i get it they're they're competition or whatever else but at the end of
the day you're you're kind of you're kind of chasing this this minority um this minority
shareholder or not shareholder but a holder of market share i i don't know and and you know what look
it's capitalism baby you got to grow and taking some of apple like taking taking 10 like this is
thing if if they can take 10 of the sales that would have been a macbook okay they grow their
market share in the us by 1.6 and i get it you gotta you gotta show growth but like do you even
do you even think that this is the solution to that because i don't know i think the solution to that is
is making really good ai stuff that works better on our processes convincing people to upgrade because
people have we know that from the covet era people bought a bunch of stuff and they don't need to
upgrade it because there's no point here comes a hot take so make things that are worth upgrading
your hardware for you know what i think is happening right now i think that microsoft
is contributing to a significant improvement in qualcomm mind share among computer buyers
that is ultimately going to be exploited by google you ready for this you're falling back on your
your chromebook thing chromebooks if you wanted a machine where battery life was of the utmost
importance are you going to be running windows anyway no chrome os supports linux applications
now chrome os supports steam gaming on linux is getting better all of these things are happening
right now so is emily saying that there has been because i haven't looked so i'm not this is not this
is not me countering to be super super clear before it because you know the links people can get a little
defense sometimes i'm not i'm not i'm not relax is emily saying that there's been significant steps
since we did our challenge yeah because i would i would love to switch i would love to switch
it just wasn't quite there if it's there i'm gone because honestly i don't mind windows at all i
actually kind of like windows 11 in a lot of different ways and i know people hate windows 11
i don't care i enjoy it the things that i don't like are this snapshot thing them when you update
windows them overriding some of your settings and changing things forcing ads into my operating
system go away and then making search just the worst thing in the world those things are the only
things i actually dislike a lot of what windows done windows search is the worst thing in the world
all right maybe exaggerate a little bit but the the ads is too far this snapshot thing which you know
it's going to turn itself back on is too far uh and the search being trash and constantly searching
the internet when i want it to search local and it's even when you tell it to only search local
now it just can't find things yeah which is crazy there's no reason for that so like i yeah
i'd love to bail out i really like mint actually i like using mint my biggest problem is constantly
jumping back and forth for applications mostly games and some applications is just really annoying
i want an operating system that can do my stuff i'm excited i uh i i think i think the the age of
the chromebook is dawning you're excited about chromebook well it's linux it's kind of cut down
so you so you think by chromebook taking over linux will become stronger because of more contribution
look at the trajectory of chrome os chrome os started wild super super locked down basically only ran
chrome chrome it started out with all the devices having completely locked down firmware so you
couldn't even install a different operating system if you wanted to now you can run android apps on it
you can run linux apps on it i believe some of them have um some of them um
allow alternate operating system installs uh by default don't quote me on that last one we did a
video on this recently so i'm it's kind of in my brain but has fallen out a little bit um
i think that if google is smart this is their opportunity kids grow up using chrome os
millions and millions and millions of kids grow up using chrome os and so all chrome os has to do is
keep getting a little more functional now google is also a tech giant like microsoft and is absolutely
capable of succumbing to the same hubris as microsoft and just screwing up chrome os and making it so bad
that we couldn't possibly switch to it but no i absolutely do believe that linux is the beneficiary of
chrome os gaining more popularity and chrome os stands to be a beneficiary of linux gaining better support
and gaining better access to applications people want to run yeah a hundred percent one thing that's
interesting is is as based as as elijah's move is and as much as if if significant improvements
have been made i would yet again be happy to consider it at least i don't think most gamers are going to
care what about productivity i think workplaces are going to stay on windows for the foreseeable future
that's my problem yeah like we can't want we can't run wanshow on linux unfortunately yeah
yeah there's what doesn't work okay so that's an interesting one handyman uh in floatplane chat
linked me something that is pretty cool which is uh works on woa.com and then in this particular instance
slash games and i go to my laptop you can search the games that are that will work on windows 100 asian
cats i have no idea some game okay norp analog yeah that's fun yeah i like that okay so like some
of these you've seen the amount of games on steam right there's gonna be some weird names i'm not
i'm not talking about the the there's seven ways to die i don't know that's a game
i haven't heard of a lot of these but it is what it is but yeah there's there's already sites popping up
like this what's what's the home page what else is on here oh just games cool uh can you can you
sort by like category popular like games you've heard of is that a thing or okay
looks pretty bare bones for now but um yeah in the long term maybe it's still be oh well there's
there's 1348 results i'm expecting they're not all tagged properly that makes sense um so the the
category stuff is probably not working great but interesting site you could what do you want to
search for how about that um let's go with dark souls
cool
hmm close it got rain i mean it's better than windows search it's just extremely fuzzy fuzzy search
it's comfy blanket search um yeah i don't know that's that's neat but it's coming along i i just
i don't like this i care i appreciate that it's stored locally yeah but some of the stuff stored
locally does not mean secure encrypted does not mean secure nothing is impenetrable nothing is fully
secure do you hear the argument for why we should be okay with it because this is all just coming
anyway and we should just kind of deal with it everyone's going to have an equivalent thing
like man we're talking about them having capabilities like i forgot my my password for my
for my mobile operators you know online portal what is it um cortana yeah you can't be you can't
you can be storing that stuff yeah it's sketch yeah this interview on bloomberg television um
i think this is the interview at least at some point in time the interviewer asks satya nadella
is this it yeah i think so i'm not a percent certain this is the right one but i think it is um at some
point in time in the video uh she asks him like this is kind of creepy basically and he responds
with effectively what linus just said which is like i don't know ai stuff is going to be like this so
get used to it not obviously not exactly that very pr he words missed it quite a bit better than that
yes but that's basically i'm not nominating you for new ceo of microsoft although they might go in a
good direction with you at the helm i don't know if they'd make money though uh probably not yeah yeah
um oh uh question syncplane asks hey can you ask dan again what doesn't work on linux for wanshow
yeah i'm very curious about that oh that's uh the vmix yeah that's basically just vmix yeah um it uses
too much of the windows libraries for especially because almost all of it is gpu um it's very very
stable because it's a pretty much 100 gpu compute someone's this is this is one of the problems that
we run into and now i'm gonna piss all the linux people off um so there's a couple things we start
talking about how we could we could maybe adopt linux again and floatplane chat erupts with you should
use this distro with this thing and this that's that's scary for new users and then the other one is
tell me the software that didn't work because they know some way to magically get it to function
in some way somehow yeah i'm running it on metal i'm not going to emulate an operating system
underneath it yeah yeah there's always there's always that one program and it stops working and
then we want to go live on wanshow but it doesn't work so you have to tinker with linux to make it
function it's like oh yeah it needs to be or we could just spend a hundred dollars on a windows license
yeah this is windows 11 that has vmix installed on it and chrome this that is all that is on this
computer this is why business i don't really see them moving um and and at home as well like there's
always that one program that i need to be using that doesn't exist you had a rough day at work
driving home three different people cut you off someone scraped the side of your car
you're upset you go get some coffee and you spill it and you finally get home you just want to play
video games and you sit on your computer and they won't work for some reason
and it happened a lot guys i think if you're being honest with yourselves
you it doesn't bother you because you enjoy the tinkering there is tinkering which is great which
is fine fantastic i have lots of things that i do the hard way because i enjoy it i don't have
to paint my own motorcycle believe it or not i'm doing it i had pictures i was gonna say speaking
which i put i put white on it nice um primer nope nope it's primed gray um but the frame
needs to be painted white because the pink that's going to go over top of it um doesn't shine through
as brightly uh if it just goes on gray primer i apparently don't have pictures of it so forget
that how much longer do you think the paint shop keeps telling me today bro
just don't tell me today like tell me tomorrow give yourself some wiggle room for for seven or
eight business days they've been telling me i'll have it for you today
is it today or is it i don't know yeah it doesn't matter sometimes sometimes you have the best intentions
i know i'm just i'm waiting on the mid coat and the effect coat and then i can do the whole thing
like i'm i'm ready to paint that's exciting yeah i'm really excited
someone said yeah it's also perfectly okay to only partially move to something if it doesn't work
i hear that but then like i said earlier in the show like i don't want to be switching between
operating systems all the time why are we training up our level one technicians on two operating systems
yeah no no man we got grub on the computers now and like oh you make a mistake and now now you
won't boot and i've dealt with that before i used to i used to triple boot between osx uh windows and
linux on one machine uh back when you could do the hackintosh stuff yeah well i work for you
obviously that's why we hired you yeah it sucks i just want to go home and and not do work basically
there's there's some significant bumps to get over still i'm sure those are i mean i haven't touched
in a long time i'm sure those are still problems um but you know the more bumps microsoft puts in
front of windows eventually those roads might start looking pretty similar and when they do
i think linux starts to win so yeah

yeah really that was that was the worst the dancing cow was pretty great though that that was dancing
baby i i don't what year is it i don't think it one-upped uh me apparently being dance dad
yeah i was a little weird um is it too late for an abortion like why does he have a beard
beard i came out of the womb with that bearded baby
oh boy what do you want to do next three merch messages oh yeah right sorry yes dan yes yes sir
sure okay sir uh having trouble balancing work and time with my partner she says we compromised on
shared time too much but i made two-thirds versus last year i work odd hours to get overtime but get three
days off advice three days off is a lot right but do those hours always coincide with her time
off because yeah if you have three days off but you spend two of them like gaming in your cave and
and to be clear i'm not saying you're doing that i'm just saying three days off does not necessarily
equate to three days together totally
i mean that's a tough one you gotta you gotta make time uh relationships do not
autopilot you also need to set realistic expectations because as they said i made two
thirds versus last year economic times are tough right now you can't just like not push
i mean i remember we talked we well not we didn't talk about it but we alluded to it last week when
yvonne was on the show with us um where yeah we had some really tough conversations and what i often fell
back on in fact you know being across the hall from us and those with those paper thin walls uh
what i often you've probably heard me say this before but what i often alluded to was that that
old expression sometimes they would go downstairs to like the living room area thinking that it did
anything anyway um i often would talk about making hay while the sun's shining yes um like that's a
if you have a good opportunity now but then you also can't like depending on your financial situation you
might not if the sun's no longer shining you might not have an opportunity to not
you might just have to make hay anyway i mean the answer is kind of the same either way i guess is
like yeah at the end of the day work is our modern equivalent of going out and foraging for food and
building shelter um and like if we don't do it we don't eat and we don't have shelter and there are
alternatives you could be a mountain man and you guys could go to the mountain and you could forage for
food and build shelter um but what i suspect is that she doesn't want to do that um i mean maybe
maybe in which case i hope you're ready for some significant lifestyle adjustments might be sick
you won't be watching wan show much from out there i don't think a little tough um yeah it's tough i mean
i think the the most important thing in any relationship in any conflict is you got to communicate
you both got to communicate okay what are my needs what are your needs what are the realistic
um challenges that we face to uh to meet both of them and what's the closest that we can get to a
middle ground yeah i'm like you you're pointing out yourself i made two-thirds versus last year
uh she might not be as financially minded or financially focused um i find there's usually like one person in
the relationship that is more so like for for for you yvonne is more financially focused i think
um she's better at it which is i'll say that much probably good um but i okay man this is this is one
of those things where i feel like in in trying to make sure that people properly appreciate that yvonne
is not just the boss's wife and take your wife to work day i have talked a lot about how good she is
at that kind of stuff guys don't kid yourself i'm not some idiot like i i know how to budget things
and stuff so i was yeah i was memeing on you but i yeah i know well the problem is that they don't know
that yeah there seems to it's fair enough there seem to be a lot of people that when i build someone else
up and i kind of have like i have kind of a self-deprecating style of humor um people seem to take it at face value which
well hey anyway i see you and that's okay my my literal friends my my point was is it it might be a good idea
to sit down with the books with her try to explain or with them uh try to explain uh oh no it says she
okay yeah with her um try to explain like this this is why okay i made two-thirds versus last year these
are my financial goals over the next while which will put us in these financial positions where you
know retirement might be more comfy we might be able to uh i don't know rent a better place or buy a
better place or buy a place at all or do whatever have more insulate financial insulation if something
bad happens say one of us loses a job this will give us more of a runway like explain all of these
different types of things but if i could give a little bit of advice don't mansplain it ask questions
totally ask questions like in the event that one of us lost a job how long would you expect us to take
to get a new job and how much of what we're making now would we be willing to settle for so you can
ask a question like that layout a scenario and then do the math together rather than doing it all
ahead of time and basically giving a presentation because that can that can have a little bit of
the ick totally that makes sense yeah yeah work with them on it i don't know
i'm showing my seven-year-old some games from my own childhood for example roller coaster tycoon worms
and age of empires 2 how has your children responded to older games like these as they grew older did
uh any really get into some um i haven't i haven't played older games with my kids that much but what
i will say is they tend to enjoy things the most when you do it with them so if you just give them
roller coaster tycoon and walk away i doubt that's going to be very effective but if you sit and make
coasters with them that will be super effective um like uh my son would never pick up liaro on his own
like he doesn't he could um but he loves playing it with me so that's that's the kind of thing you got
to do right if you if you want them to kind of enjoy the same things as you and you want to kind of
make that connection just make sure that you understand it has to go both ways i've had to spend
more time than i otherwise would have playing minecraft dungeons um because my kids like it and
it's what it's like it's diablo right like it's it's a stupid just click on everything dungeon
crawler game right like and and to be clear if you enjoy minecraft dungeons that's fine there's good
gameplay mechanics and i'm sure at like a high level you can be good at it and stuff it's not just
click on things or whatever like some of the raids are pretty challenging and like we got wiped and stuff
so no disrespect intended it's just not really my genre and um i've played a lot more of it than i
would have if my kids hadn't asked me to right and let's see what's our last one here hello daluli i
recently sent my 89 civic hatchback into a tree at 35 miles an hour a day before i went on vacation
have you had anything catastrophic happen before an event but found a way to go anyway
what a specific question oh no um oh before an event i mean i'm sure i've had something terrible
happen before an event i mean you get sick anytime you go anywhere so that's kind of catastrophic yeah
i'm worried remember that time you went to japan and then just stayed in your hotel room the whole
time that was taiwan taiwan sure whatever that's where i'm going again nice hopefully i'll get sick again
i thought you also had to stay in your hotel room a lot in japan yes yeah so i'm not wrong
so well why you gotta be like i haven't not been why you gotta be like that why am i being so
defensive right now i haven't not been sick during a vacation for three years nice and we're rolling
the dice again nice seeing how it goes yeah yeah yeah maybe it'll work out you got i'm not sick
don't worry thanks unless i am oh we'll find out soon yeah i mean it'll affect me too i guess
let's hope neither of us is sick yes um i don't know it's happened a bunch of times
tell me this i don't really want to give examples tell me this okay now obviously i'm not going to
ask you if you're going to wear a cloth square on your face but would you consider using one of the
like organic particulate filters like i have for my painting booth would you consider wearing one of
those on the plane because close quarters on a plane look i don't i don't give a if you believe
that covid was a government conspiracy or whatever i i actually don't care uh the the cold hard truth
is that proximity especially over an extended period of time to people who are infected with
any kind of even remotely airborne illness increases the chances of you getting sick
stop if you're gonna say anything other than that being near sick people makes you sick you're
actually stupid and you can go away um so if you were to wear like a real filtering mask if that was
an option because it is they're like 100 bucks and the cartridges are much cheaper they're like
interchangeable cartridges yeah i have i have one i used to use it for working with cement how badly do
you not want to get sick i think not badly enough to wear that really which is funny because yeah
why i actually find them who cares wildly more comfortable to wear yeah they're not that uncomfortable
but people like hate it so much i don't know why i tried it before when when this whole thing first
popped off my immediate reaction was to go get my old like cement mask thing yeah because i'm like they
have removable filters i'll just buy the n95 ones because those exist and you can just click them
in and then i'm good right and the whole world was like no we have to use these really annoying one
size fits all they don't fit your head they're going to literally cut your ears masks and i'm like
why like when i when i'm on planes you know what i actually do yeah i wear those old noise
cancelling headphones that you got for us 2014 i don't even remember i don't remember when you
bought everybody noise cancelling headphones for trips like a billion years ago okay that was nice
i still yeah i still have those and i i hook the mask around those so that it doesn't cut into my ears
yeah if i don't i i've actually bled from masks before wow my head's too big i thought you printed a
bunch of um ear saver it's so annoying and i'm the one with the ego
you have you have that makes sense i did it for that was um during covid they were the blood
people the bloodletting people i can't remember they're called like life labs and stuff like that
oh the bloodletting people you mean the clinic yeah the clinic where they let your blood go into the
tubes do you call your doctor a sawbones it'd be funny it'd be very funny doctor sawbones please i
have the i have the vapors um and those worked really well because they were having to wear masks
like for like 10 12 hours a day and they were all bleeding as well so you could try one of those
although they'd probably be pretty silly i don't know what happened i used to i used to get sick
sick decently often enough that it was annoying but it would always be for like really short periods
of time and it was like usually pretty easy like i would get sick on like a thursday or a friday and
i'd be better again by the time i'm back in work on monday and i'd like lose a weekend and it would
suck but like it didn't really matter and now i'll get sick and it just doesn't go away for so long
and like the most recent two of them i tested and they weren't covid so like it's just something
i have no idea i don't know man i um for me the uh i i don't wear a mask anymore because we don't have
mandates and lockdowns and there's you know there's there's a lot more certainty about uh
covid and it's various uh it's various changes over the years and all of that so i'm i'm a lot less
worried about it um i mean it's it's the unknown that was that was the reason for a lot of the
protective measures we didn't know you know what it was going to do we didn't know what the impacts
were going to be long term um so i don't i don't wear a mask anymore but what i do still do is i wash
my hands way more than i used to that's a new one for me i never get sick anymore think about it when's
the last time you saw me miss a day of work because i'm sick yeah like basically never remember and in
the old days i used to work anyway but i'd you go back to some of the old videos and i'm like i'm
hosting it like this because i have no voice and stuff dude i never get sick anymore washing your
hands more and it's not like i was like a dirty gross disgusting person before anything like i wash my
hands when i use the bathroom and stuff like that but i switched my mentality i used to wash my hands
whenever i did something dirty now i wash my hands before i'm about to do something that requires
cleanliness yes and also that yeah and that has made probably the biggest difference out of
every behavioral i'm also really hardcore about um
when i go to the gym i'm really hardcore about not touching my face with my hands
sometimes i might you know there's sweat or whatever i'll use like my arm i'll do it but i'll
make sure that i've washed my hands first well i'll do that but then at the gym you're touching
things in the gym there's no way yeah so i'll i i pre-wipe down every surface that i use in the gym
including bars like barbells whatever else and then even despite that if i need to touch my face
i'll use like you know you you do this with your hands so you can have a point with this part of the
wrist and then i'll like use that if i need to or just my the whole back of my arm or whatever like
i'll find some way to not use the inside of my hand that i'm touching things with unique username
reminds me that you just had a uti linus sorry for the reminder i did uh but that's not related to
yeah transmissible although there there are person to person transmission things that can cause a uti
which actually reminds me of the time that my doctor in front of me basically told ivan
oh honey he's cheating on you have i never told you this story no um what anyway antibiotics
they're a miracle i'm fine now thank you um as far as the uti goes oh
but i got um i got an unrelated blood test for something what's happening i got okay i got an
i got an unrelated blood test for something or other and uh i tested positive for i'm gonna get
all the details wrong because i am not a no i'm not a doctor and it doesn't matter to me in my daily life
but i i tested positive for like the the associated proteins or the antibodies or something of one of
the hepatite eye um okay and basically whichever one it is it's one that you that is is sexually
transmitted um so i went in for my for this totally unrelated blood test it was probably something to do
with um uh getting my blood tested to figure out if i had arthritis because um i had these issues
with inflammation in my knees and now they think it was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis so it's kind
of gone in and gone into remission it'll probably come back with a vengeance when i'm old but for
now i'm doing pretty great um anyway so i was i was probably in for a blood test for that or something
and they basically go okay but you've got this like antigen or protein or something it was something
to do with some one of the hepatitis is and um they basically i basically go okay so like what does
that mean and they're basically like well it you know usually indicates that um you've you know
gotten that you've had at some point uh uh this this sexually transmitted disease and yvonne pipes up
and she goes okay but he hasn't because i don't and i never have and she kind of goes
well that's how you get it so i think you guys might have to have a conversation about this
and look for me and yvonne it's perfectly normal and acceptable for us to have a meeting with with our
doctor like with each other but for her to basically like and it really was that obvious
um now so we left like obviously yvonne and i have a lot of trust in our relationship because as we were
leaving um i was like um no and she's like yeah i know um but yvonne having a background in pharmacy
having an actual medical background herself oh man that's something that i think it's gotta be useful
makes me more angry than almost anything else like and i i don't know what it is i don't know if it's
the general you know arrogance that you can see with doctors sometimes i don't know if it's like a
misogyny thing i don't know what it is but the number the number of times that i have had to stand there
while a medical professional talks down to yvonne when she clearly understands everything that's
going on very easily especially when they're talking about drugs for me to pipe in and go
she's a pharmacist you don't have to explain what a corticosteroid is you can move on and for them to
keep going through it explaining to her like she is three years old i don't think anything makes me more
angry than that anyway so the point is this doctor who i probably have had that conversation with
already because i understand these things pretty well whether it's from just paying attention in
school or it's from taking some some first-year biology classes or from doing flashcards with
yvonne i've picked up a lot i don't i don't need to i don't need someone to explain to me what an
anti-inflammatory is i don't need someone to explain to me what an nset is i like i i know what these
things are and i you know aren't you paid by the number of patients you see like let's let's do this
thing right so i tend to kind of jump in with that she's a pharmacist you don't have to explain this
she knows what aspirin is let's let's move on um anyway so yvonne starts asking probing questions
so dismissive the doctor was so dismissive of her questions where she was basically probing for okay
well what are the other like the doctor was treating her like she was basically asking if
she could get pregnant from a toilet seat you know like is that how he got it did he but what she was
actually asking for is like okay look i'm a little rusty on the antigens versus the proteins versus the
antibodies is there some other thing that could have caused that could have caused it and as it turns out
when we went for another blood test and we came back for the results the doctor with no apology
whatsoever for the incredibly awkward situation she'd created that could have in a different
relationship caused oh ruined it a pretty big stir okay because even if even if you did end up
figuring out that it wasn't true irreparable damage could have been done no apology whatsoever is basically
like yeah he like had he had some exposure to it at some point through a vaccine and had the the
whatevers um but we didn't check for that last time so i didn't know you like you actually don't
get to do that that's not cool and don't worry i have a new doctor now um that was a it was a clinic
doctor i hate going to walk-in clinics it's basically but we didn't have a family doctor at that time
between the two of us and my technically still my family doctors like out in mission because he was my
family doctor from before yvonne and i like moved to not mission um so like i just didn't have one
yet and i was super young and super healthy mine is super far away it's like 45 minutes yeah it sucks
the walk-in clinic four minutes from the office baby i lucked out that's she's amazing dude she tried
to call me on a weekend about my results for the uti thing she like calls me on a saturday i don't pick
up because i don't answer my phone because it's leaked a thousand times and i just give up on changing my
phone number at this point um so she calls me on a saturday i don't pick up she texts me she's like
yo i dealt with all your stuff go pick it up at this pharmacy it's the one near you i checked
what holy crap she is she is absolutely based i love my doctor and she's like my age so i basically
as long as she doesn't retire um dr t please please don't retire yeah as long as she doesn't
retire i i'm i'm keeping her for life she's awesome yeah yeah yeah i the only at this point
the only reason why i go into a walk-in is if i am a hundred percent confident what's going on
i'll go in and like tell them and then they can get me whatever yeah a lot of the time they'll argue
with you anyway though honestly the one that i go to usually they just like verify really quick and
they're like okay sure and then well that's pretty good because i have this problem i i've explained
this to you before my like ear canals are kind of weird like i can't have the squishy in earbuds
because they just fall out um i also sometimes have a hard time um when i get off of planes
sometimes my ear just won't pop oh that's bad so i have to go in and like they help me do it oh
that's rough so i'll just like tell them like this is the problem this is the way that you guys have
successfully done it in the past and they'll just be like okay let us do that's pretty
straightforward it's like cool man though like man visit walk-in doctors or just like any doctor
that just like doesn't care um it's such a it's kind of it's a scourge dude i agree but i get it
here because here we have such an insane shortage so they have five minutes with you how are they
going to care if they have five minutes i get it five minutes one question what are you going to how
are you going to get invested in this person like i it sucks dr t please don't leave me
yeah and some people are like time to switch doctors it's not that easy that's not that easy
we have a significant shortage and insane shortage she probably doesn't have open spots she probably
has a system where family can get added on so any of these families that are growing that's her new
clientele she can't bring on more people and it's really challenging because there's there's there's
dynamics at play that are not as simple as just like oh i don't know why don't you guys substitute
our substitute why don't you guys subsidize uh your your doctor training programs like it's not
it's not that simple like if you a lot of the problem is that we have a brain drain down to the
united states where doctors make a lot more money but a lot of the reasons that doctors make a lot more
money is because of how bloated and uh broken the u.s medical system is like that whole you know here's
your 30 band-aid thing that goes on where insurance companies um where there's where there's these
outrageous fees that are being charged because insurance companies will just pay for it and
then we'll just you know bilk their their subscribers for it let that whole that whole system is hyper
inefficient and facilitates doctors who will work down there making way more money such that a more
efficient system can't compete with it and to be clear i am not saying the canadian system is efficient
i am saying it is more efficient which is objectively true i'm so sorry my american friends
um they get like some of them get like super super super super mad about anything to do with that
sounds any even remotely critical of anything about america i apologize sincerely for that that's
that's that's my canadian way um but your system's not very good
yeah apparently there's something called ear planes that can like help with the thing that
i have maybe i'll look into some sort of eustachian tube dysfunction the band-aids have freedom i don't
remember the names i haven't like i i figured it out with my doctor like i think it was like the second
time we went to ces so this would have been like 2013-20 that's why we have guns so we can end it when we
get sick doesn't the canadian government also recommend that some of the americans in our uh
in our chat are uh spicy yeah all right guys uh yeah yeah langley man says i've been waiting eight
months for an mri for a rotator cuff injury love canadian health care yeah yeah it's not a perfect
system it's i will not even begin to pretend it's a perfect system um everything's it turns out
everything's corrupt wherever lots of money is involved yeah that's what we learned yeah
up here the weights are brutal like i when i was i was really sick i don't know three months ago
something like that um and it was like go to a walk-in and they're they they basically i i did once
and they were more or less like i don't know okay cool um and then i i went to go schedule an
appointment with with my actual doctor and he's like well it's gonna be like a month or a little
bit more before i have an appointment open because it's not an emergency i was clearly not like dying
i was just sick for a really long time he's like well you can book an appointment i was like well i'll
probably be better by then he's like yep
okay you can always book it and then cancel it when you're close and then an opening will be
available to someone who needs one soon yeah just just saying that's a that's a system
we're apparently supposed to do when after dark we haven't even made it through all our topics
luke has to leave in 18 minutes but we didn't even talk about google's ai citing the onion and
recommending the health benefits of drinking pee google's ai overviews in search appear to be
drawing information from very questionable sources with limited discernment including telling a user
to try making cheese adhere better to their homemade pizza uh to add about an eighth of a cup of elmer's
glue in with the sauce the source for this wisdom appears to be an 11 year old reddit comment made by user
smith ai overviews likewise recommended eating at least one small rock per day which it attributed
to uc berkeley geologists but is actually a recommendation made in 2020 in a 2021 onion article
another user asked what mammal has the most bones and was instead told that snakes have the most bones of
any vertebrate not a mammal i'm afraid these errors included medical misinformation such as

ai overviews were making similar mistakes including telling at least one user to drink large amounts of
urine in order to dislodge a kidney stone i mean you can't prove it wouldn't work
a google smoke spokesperson says that the mistakes came from generally very uncommon queries
and aren't representative of most people's experiences i mean that's the thing about
hallucinations in it you see most of the world as it is except for the ants that are crawling out of
your skin that cause you to rip your skin off you know um anywho users can use the web tab to remove
these elements or automate the process by changing their browser settings to add udm equals 14 to the
end of their search url in other ai news which is awesome the chinese website for cooler master is
apparently advertising their new cryo fuse 5 product which comes in six different colors as competitive ai
thermal paste the official name for the product translates as thermal paste ai sports lottery um
anywho they have apparently apologized for that and it was a translation error or something but i
just thought it was funny to put in with our ai news that's funny i fix it has dumped samsung they're
officially dropping them as a partner saying the company seems unwilling to make good faith progress
towards making its devices more repairable however they will continue to provide parts and repair
kits for samsung devices to consumers um since partnering with i fix it two years ago samsung has
apparently kept parts price high and continued to engage in unnecessary parts pairing according to
a leaked contract samsung also required independent repair shops to report the personal information and
repair details of customers and to immediately disassemble samsung devices that were repaired with
third-party parts so with the amount of rules that repair shops have like so eat samsung basically um
i criticize this kind of stuff when apple does it and i would spend a lot longer railing on this except luke
has to go so um dang sorry cold ones reviewed our screwdriver oh really oh uh dan
we tried every youtuber product
it's a pretty sick video
this is the ltt screwdriver i mean nice yep i'm a i'm a man i'm a man
nice this really gets me going whoa that's sick look at this look at this
all these bits in there that's clean have you tried it out have you tested it oh no i just keep
swizzling it it's good as like an autism toy this is good i would love to put a pc together with this yeah
if you got the wrong screw bit then i'm pretty sure this product like exists on the market but this that
concept exists but this is definitely a very good execution of yeah it's simple it's sleek i was
rough and it the screw not the screwdriver that means the tips are good the linus tips i'm thinking
a tier just from holding it that i have absolutely no issues with it yeah i'm happy with a all right
not bad huh we're a tier boys nice what's s there's shoes and s this is a joke oh okay they only put
like these stupid meme shoes in s everything a is effectively the top tier beautiful yeah i'm super
i'm super excited and honestly dude not a lot of stuff ended up in a tier like we are among
pretty legit company up here so what what is the other stuff in eight here i'm kind of interested uh
hold on well okay man you gotta ask me for all these details that i don't know okay well let's
switch to 4k enhance enhance okay we've got a babish tongs and something some kind of cooking
thing i assume cool we've got whatever this is and whatever this is and whatever this thing is
nice and then and whatever this is joyride oh those are those i would not consider those
particularly a tier they were fine but they were too expensive but aren't they aren't they uh oh i see
aren't they like more healthy or something we beat the jerry rig everything knife which ended up in b
tier we beat feastables which are fine i guess i guess that's about a b uh we definitely beat
are those more feastables in easier i didn't actually notice that uh mkbhd had a product in
here what is it is it just a mug how do you even rate a mug yeah i don't know they use uh they use
like a merch company for their stuff so it's just like basic um i see there's more feastables down there
though okay prime is actually pretty decent tasting i think they're just prime is not good
i think they're just memeing on them there's but no there's issues outside of flavor oh okay oh so
okay when i rated when when i rated um influencer drinks i was only going based on flavor yeah okay
prime is not good crunch labs b they were not into uh mythical cereal same as me
i'm sorry mythical but it tastes like it's it's not good i i've i look this is one of those things
that's kind of tough for me because i think crunch labs is really cool i'm surprised crunch labs wasn't
higher i've met some of these people um and so like for me to be out there just like yeah it's not good
um feels a little awkward but look i got my i got my integrity boys yeah and uh mishmash is not good
sorry uh they did not like um pokimane's cookies they are d tier oof and dude perfect whatever this
thing is they also do not like uh hold on i'm trying to switch to my laptop uh whatever this thing is i
don't know what this is oh mr b's chocolate ended up in both e tier i tried saying this i think three
times and b tier oh it's because there's different revisions of it yeah people are saying that the
newer recipe is up higher and the older recipe is down low okay well i'm about to i'm about to have
a hot take here um you think you guys have got no taste oh the original recipe mr beast bars oh i
could be wrong i could be wrong are way higher quality chocolate i could be wrong hold on no i i think
you're right i don't know the new recipe looked at one of the new recipe is like basic mainstream
chocolate like if you're like nestle aero bar that's quality you will like the new recipe but
the old recipe is a way more like traditional proper chocolate can people confirm okay so the
order is correct yeah okay yeah yeah so they they just they went mainstream and basic probably because
people were like ew and they were sitting there going okay well why are we spending so much to put so
much real cocoa in this we might as well give them the the swill that they like sorry swill is a drink
thing but uh yeah give give them the trash that they like yeah um man honestly i don't get it though
because you can just get lint chocolate at the grocery store which is going to absolutely destroy both his
original recipe and the new recipe but hey like you know influencer product right if you like what mr beast
does and you want to support them i i i got i got no problem with that but i do think their branding
is like world's best chocolate bar is um how do you get away with that world's best chocolate world's
best pizza what does that even what does that even what does that even mean define that yourself yeah i
mean i guess but i would think you'd have to i don't know i i'm sure whoever worked on his marketing
gave some thought to it or something um elijah lint is gross yeah but elijah have you eaten any foods
like you tried a mango for the first time like a month ago like what what do you even know about
food i'm sorry was that the first time that was the first time he'd ever eaten a mango
it's like come on man i don't know with him sometimes because his whole like innings thing
no he knows he's just trying to mess with us yeah so you think he's trying to mess with you no
no i don't think so you don't think so you think that's actually the first time yeah yeah yeah
yeah i don't know i don't know i'm 27 years young had never eaten a mango i'm a little sus
a little sus i don't think he would lie about that were you there for you weren't there for the
conversation i thought i was there for him eating it though yeah no no we offered him some man
he's like i've never tried that before the hockey night yeah yeah that was before i got there
i had mango drinks and dry stuff so he had dried but he'd never never fresh mango okay okay
okay okay so basically what i'm gonna take food advice from someone who's never tried fresh fruit
like no i'm sorry i'm not i'm not gonna do that it's not gonna be like that
um right all right what's next right i'm trying right i'm trying to blow through these things so
that we oh oh oh this is very important uh we need you guys to help us um i've got notes from tanner i
have an entire doc about this good lord i might have to do this later holy crap it's like four pages
though this is very very important okay tanner dan don't let me forget i will get to this after
we've got a float plane early release guys if you're subscribed on float plane you're going to
want to go check this out we've got cable managing sammy's setup sponsored by secret lab this is a whole
new series for us so we've got an early release i think this is coming out this weekend or something
like that anyway um we are going to be starting by doing a couple of internal people setups so we
started with sammy dan is coming next we will be cable managing his setup and then assuming that people
like the content format we are going to be opening it up to the audience if it goes well on this
continent we will be opening it up worldwide i will personally show up at your house with cable

i gotta sell you don't like traveling yeah but i gotta sell cable management wow i mean the whole
thing's basically just an ad for cable management products and like we vlog and we have some fun and
it's it's entertaining it's a good video it sounds fun it's legitimately i'm just surprised you're
willing to fly for it like we got all these tips on like i think it's gonna be great great ways to
manage cables totally it's it's look look and that way you'll find more unique setups if i've said it
once i've said it a hundred times i am all about how many w's i can stack right win win is not enough
for me i want win win win win okay so i want to personally win you know by selling some cable
management i want the company to win by getting you know great content for our audience and and and
making money and paying its employees to develop new products i want the audience to win i want the
audience to win getting content that they love to watch they love these kind of vlogs where we're
working on upgrading people's setups and and the big winners the ones who actually like win the prize i
want them to win i want the sponsor to win because they got these good vibes associated with their
product everybody wins you know if you if you start jet setting this often all you need to do
all you need to do is make a cool many more millions of dollars no big deal right you got that uh and then
buy a plane no problem and then flow plane support joe has offered to be your your private pilot
so a plane not that expensive
a hanger oh that too yeah yeah very expensive also planes that can go across continents dude quite
expensive you are talking small cessnas are one thing the second you can do super long range you
are talking to someone who has flown one time one time in his entire life in business class oh yeah me
too one time it was by i don't remember some sponsor ended up doing the flights for us and we realized
like as we got on where on the plane we were going it was brandon and i we're both just like what and
we came out of the experience you know some people are like i did it once i could never go back we
came out of the experience be like i'm never paying for that because we looked at the price difference
versus what we got really bro no i mean we both got here right yeah exactly like i don't know yeah man
there is i i cannot oh man i'm trying to think okay because like like taylor swift was like flying
from her like overseas ass concert to like watch travis kelsey play in like super bowl or whatever
and like you know what i get it if you've got that kind of resource that man i got such a kick
that's an irrelevant amount of money i got such a kick out of people being like taylor swift is now
a billionaire earlier this year i'm like are you kidding me okay if my stupid company no offense
to my company got an offer if my highly intelligent company yeah if if this if this got valued at a
tenth of a billion dollars at one point are you kidding me that she just crossed the line
you don't think taylor swift is worth a hundred of me now 10 times please are you kidding me anyway
um okay so on the one hand like i get it when you have that level of resources if you can just just
buy a plane joe if you can just if you can just hop to your boyfriend's football game like i can see
why she would do it but i legitimately i legitimately have a very difficult time imagining a world where
i would do anything other than commercial air travel like i just i don't i i don't i i don't think
i can i don't think i can accept it helicopter just i mean joe can't fly that helicopter great for kobe
i'm serious those things actually reasonable those things are death traps all right the amount of
times i hear do you know why they call it the jesus nut because it's not because he did it on your face
no it's because there is one nut one nut because it's perfect and he doesn't need two sorry sorry
there is one he lost the other one in an industrial accident we don't bring that up
there is there is one nut that gets torqued onto the top of the rotor assembly
that holds the rotor blades in place if it comes loose for whatever reason on this vibrating ass
spinning ass contraption if it comes loose the rotors go and the helicopter falls out of the sky
so you call it the jesus nut because you pray to jesus it never comes off okay those things
are flipping scared okay have you flown in a helicopter you've been in a helicopter average
helicopter crash at around nine per 100 000 flight hours that seems crazy high okay luke have you been
in a helicopter before yes a few times okay they're made of cardboard yeah that's kind of true
i was i was looking at the thing i was going like that's it
okay so that answers the question then not the helicopter route time to buy a plane and joe can
fly it for you easy you know what okay taron you know constantly coming up and down yeah that there's
got to be a cost to that there's got to be a lot less than a plane you could just get a plane and then
when when he's not when he's not what about a plane timeshare this is what i'm saying you could
rent taylor swift's plane when she's not going to her boyfriend's taylor swift doesn't know who i
am yeah i think be the change you want to see in the world maybe if you went to a football game once
in a while a football game when you say football like that it's a black and white ball
uh yeah but when when he's not flying taron you know he can fly other people boom now you have a new
company boom new company oh lordy um solved i'll say this when personal like one passenger plus like
your backpack vtol never gonna happen will not happen in our lifetimes have you met people who drive cars
what what sorry i can't tell whose side you're on you think it's gonna be ai or not you i i i think
the only possible way is if it's like predefined routes or ai driven or something that i don't think
it's like traffic accidents gone up since tesla introduced self-driving cars i don't know man
no idea there's a lot of companies trying to build these things they're gonna fail stop it and that's
okay that is something that i would legitimately move for i would relocate to an area that allows
me to have my own personal like like little quadcopter that i can fly to work in see if you just
if you just want a personal plane you can already do that yeah but that where am i gonna fly i don't
want to go anywhere on staff who can fly it i just go to work and back you just you just buy a plane
it's simple look i got a motorcycle it's simple and people are like oh yeah you know like i i did
like a six hour ride up to squamish and back and i did this i did that i'm like yeah i drove to work
i excuse me i rode to work and then i rode home i don't go anywhere i don't i don't want to go
anywhere i just i just want i just want to go to work in my little private plane that's all so
anything that i can't land in my backyard i'm not even interested in i don't even want it there you
you go joe there's the specs for the plane it has to be able to land in linus's backyard there's a
pool there careful careful oh man get a heli land in your yard and land at the office do you have
any idea the kind of letter i would get from our strata council if i tried to land a helicopter at our
office you don't think they like it is that is that guy still around oh yeah yeah yeah neighbor
steve he might be down he's our neighbor just tell me you're friends with taylor swift there we go
yeah but it's never gonna happen laws are not going to allow this i will move
i will move to the uae no you won't i won't move to the uae oh you won't that is false
where where would potentially allow this nevada that you
yeah they're in a desert there's not a lot of like you know people where are you even flying
to at that point texas texas i will join mr musk in texas if i can have a jetson you would move to
texas i i would consider it i would strongly consider it is that where we're gonna have the cult can we
have these in the cult um you know what you can wash mine move the company of texas i'm down
cultists are allowed to wash my personal aircraft do thank you sir thank you for the property will
be insanely more affordable i need to pause for a second cult cult guys that's a joke this is a joke
we have where like we should form a cult and i should be the leader i am playing a character
touch grass okay cool the non-joke is that i'll touch your class buy a plane for joe to fly
no that's not happening that's totally happening we do live near the islands he could buy a float
plane yeah they are joe can train to fly a float plane they are extremely and land it where fraser river
yeah your your lake cabin you go to bowen island what i'm gonna live on the fraser river port browning
is really nice it smells disgusting it's a little icky it's a little it's maybe a ganges go to ganges
you know what i am sure that joe could drive the car from the float plane dock to to your chauffeur
yeah chauffeur plane and car chauffeur there you go i don't think he'd mind as long as he gets to fly
the plane uh we did a fraction of our topics today we are less than half of the way through our topics
and i need to you have to leave three minutes ago okay if you have to go then you've got to go but it
means that we are uh we are in for i can hear i can check maybe we're in for an adventure uh the us
government has put a 25 tax back on chinese assembled motherboards pc cases and graphics
cards the tariff was paused for a year to collect industry feedback it's unknown when it will resume
but the biden administration has indicated that it will be steeply increasing tariffs on other chinese
goods like semiconductors lithium-ion ev batteries and electric vehicles the tariff on semiconductors is the
steepest and will be increasing from 25 percent to 50 percent uh this is going to be a problem but
it may not be as much of a problem as you would think because a lot of these companies moved their
assembly or at least diversified their assembly outside of china in order to get around this back
when the trump administration put it in place um scarlett johannison is having a bit of johannson
sorry excuse me um is having a bit of a tiff with open ai over a voice that um people including her
say sounds eerily similar to her which is her that is to say uh the movie her which uh is like the ai in
the movie her which is voiced by her which is uh scarlett johannson who is having this dispute okay
she did the voice for her um so we're we've got a couple quick voice comparisons here can we can we
listen can we listen we ready oh also while we figure that out uh i i won't say the thing we're
doing but i have a response from wendell cool is he down he's down and he has some suggestions nice i
knew he would yeah okay when did you give it to yourself well right when you asked me if i had a name
i thought yeah he's right i do need a name but i wanted to pick a good one so i read a book called
how to name your baby and out of 180 000 names that's the one i like a bedtime story about robots
and love i got you covered gather round barrett once upon a time in a world i actually don't think
those sound that similar um maybe the inflections the first one was actually her right yeah yeah okay
because i was listening to the first one and i was partially focused on my phone when you're
teeing up the topic god what a sexy voice and i was like that sounds what she has a super sexy voice
what who scarlett johannson you don't think so what a comment uh what why do you think she was cast for
the part it's just a weird it's not like it's a controversial take all right you're basic um
god you likes the voice that whoever directed this movie thought you would like sorry sorry you
know what i like the backstreet boys too what are you gonna do about it that is pretty basic come at
me that is that is they're cool they're the backstreet dads now and they're just as cool as they were if
not more so yeah listening to that first one i was like wow that does really sound like that i didn't
realize it was from the movie the second one it it sounds like uh you know inspired by uh
i don't even think it does i don't think it sounds anything like her i don't think it sounds
if you yeah like i didn't hear it and immediately think her but maybe it sounds like a bad impressionist
trying to be her if that makes sense like not an actual impressionist just like your friend yeah
i don't know i uh i'm afraid anyway there's a whole thing where like they apparently reached out to her
to be the voice and she refused and then there's some other stuff going on over at open ai and people
are concerned about the company's direction i don't know i i'm i'm so sorry i feel like this is almost
like uh uh what what was it like lindsey lohan or something that was upset about one of the gta
cover art things what was that lindsey lohan i think so i don't remember who it was but i remember that
was a thing a gta yeah yeah this like really i i i'm sorry but that is that is the most npc npc you know
blonde bikini person ever like your hair's curly here hers isn't i'm like i don't know man i just
know like people posing with the peace sign at that time was super come check your messages oh
no not yours oh well for you never message anyway what i'm kidding uh there's a bilingual brain implant
i don't know maybe next week um yeah okay the last thing that you really need to weigh in is that
battle state games has tripped over their own again again yeah so you don't know about this
okay following battle state games decision to undermine its 150 edge of darkness edition of
tarkov with a 250 unheard edition with an exclusive pve mode and various other pay-to-win goodies yeah
some players caved and shelled out the additional hundred dollars to upgrade a few days later battle
state reduced the cost of upgrading by half but instead of refunding those players the 50 difference
they gave them a single use 50 in-game voucher if the player buys something that costs less than 50
dollars they lose the remaining value yeah could these guys be more cartoonishly anti-consumer if
they tried i think this is maybe just something that we didn't cover at the time but this is this
is fairly old at this point um i think they've gone somewhat quiet for a while just realizing every
single thing that they were doing was bad and dumb um so they stopped doing things because that was
actually better for them i mean that's not a terrible approach yeah um
was sure weird especially the lose the remaining value thing but i think i get it i'm assuming that
they just don't have like a credit system yeah probably hanlon's razor it's probably not malicious
it probably i think some things that they do complete and utter incompetence yeah but hanlon's razor
doesn't say there's never malice right it says don't attribute to malice that which can be
adequately explained by incompetence and i think you're right i think this falls under probably
incompetence i think so just because like they they try to do all the things themselves right oh
so popular hello
okay please do that okay this one's a lot closer maybe it's kate upton i don't know
i don't remember who it was i mean was it no no it was lindsay lohan oh okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
but red reddit was looking for something that was more similar apparently yeah sorry apparently i a
bunch of people thought that was their phones my bad i lied i have one more topic okay icq is no more oh
yeah i didn't know it was still a thing me neither oh okay but it's set to shut down on june 26 which
is in two days after nearly 30 years of operation should we buy it oh mate better than teams
can we use icq internally
please can we can we sso icq oh my gosh oh icq slack integration
guys that's not actually an option i'm i mean it's june 26 not oh sorry it's may i got my hopes
up haha um yeah i don't know should we buy it wouldn't that be hilarious is it is it potentially
for sale i don't know users are encouraged to migrate messaging platforms from parent company vk
vk vk who is this i don't know probably it's venture capital with a k like it's probably some
holding company who knows have i ever ever i've ever told you about the name of ea game
one of ea games is mobile companies no capital games
i hope they sit on tax
oh that's pretty good it's pretty good it's pretty good yeah it's pretty good wow
aha worse uh okay we've got something really important for you guys yeah here sorry one sec i'm
just gonna yes yes yes yes games yes oh it's funny sorry uh yeah oh so i've got my notes from tanner
here um we need your help okay so this is up to date as of three days ago uh we are trying to digitize
the full quality masters of reboot the first computer animated tv series uh the reboot master
tapes are in a d1 format uh there were only six models of vtrs that used that format and only two
or three of them will likely be able to read these particular master tapes uh the vtrs that will work
are the dcr 300 and the dcr 500 from broadcast television systems which was a bosch and phillips
partnership we purchased three vtrs oh good lord uh we apparently purchased a dcr 300 and two dcr 500s
and we've had some small playback test successes confirming that the tapes are in surprisingly
good shape and it says yeah see bottom of dog it looks great okay so here we've been working on this
in the background for a while because we just think this is pretty sick and good vibes and
oh my god yeah that looks so good yeah okay man now i want to watch some reboot okay anywho
yeah oh man that's super exciting um very clean all right the problem one of the dcr 500s was working
for a short time however it is now experiencing errors and while all three machines have some sort of
issue there should be enough to cobble together something that works the main error we're getting
across the machines is servo reference v pulse frequency too high the machines will not load
or play back without clearing these checks we've tried tracking down the company that made them so
far none of our contacts have been able to find anything um these particular machines were manufactured
by bts from 1992 to 1995 which meant a different thing back then uh phillips took over bts in 1995
which then turned into okay this is a lot of thank you tanner uh these are a lot of tanner details uh
let me distill it down um thompson broke up a blog a grass valley inc may have taken over the d1
hardware back catalog but our contacts there were not able to find anything the parts that didn't go to
grass valley inc were sold to partner capital group in 2008 something something something
prasad studios didn't have any information for us they are based in india where it appears the d1
format was never in use uh replacing capacitors uh is something that we have tried and we apparently
had replacement rollers fabricated and replaced where they were degraded what we are looking for
ah yes this is this is what i was looking for manuals for the dcr 300 and dcr 500 we're missing
operators manual circuit diagrams part one and bts's internal service manuals we also are looking for
some specialized tools we would like to get extender board 1409 for tape deck adjustment tape dr5 and any
additional calibration tapes we also would love to get in touch with some experts if you have hands-on
experience with bts d1 machines particular the dc particularly the dcr 300 or dcr 500 doesn't matter
what region you have experience in um they had offices in netherlands salt lakes city utah singapore
brazil france burbank california and mulgrave australia um odds are good if anyone knows about these
machines they would have worked at or near one of these locations what we are not looking for armchair
technicians that think they might know what the issue is we have plenty of those internally sorry my
finger slipped um rude we are not looking for technicians with similar for a familiarity with
similar players um these were produced in a time when tech standards were fast loose and constantly
changing we are not looking for anyone to cold call any of the companies involved do not cold call on
our behalf we've already done it don't harass people it's it's stupid um we're not looking for
anything that is built for a tape deck that is not the d1 format and we are not looking for
external options to capture the tapes we want to learn and share the knowledge not just hire a capture
service the contact information is right here this is very important reboot rewind reboot rewind
doc at gmail.com if you can legitimately help us with any of those things we said we do need and not
the things that we said we don't need um very hopeful that we can restore reboot to its former glory that
would be super cool i had heard we were interested in doing that i didn't know tanner was doing any work
on that yeah dog this is very cool to hear epic yep going yeah i i i was like blank check let's go and
then apparently we bought three f***ing machines it's an extremely blank yeah um check with a really long
underscore look i think it's a i think it's it's cool it's very cool it starts a lot of conversations
about how we think of the internet and we think of things that are digital as as as as being preserved
forever as being around forever but actually as the as the the the waves and waves of of data creation
have gotten larger and larger we are actually at risk of losing more and more and more unless we
make a concert a concerted effort to preserve what we had what was important and this is
again you know back to you know the skin that i have in the game it's a canadian show uh produced
here in canada and it is i i believe of historical significance being the first animated computer
animated tv show so yeah toy story pretty special moment um reboot also a
a pretty special moment in uh in computer graphics but i also have to leave see you later goodbye
sort of not end of show asks how's this better quality than blu-ray you can't make a blu-ray
without the master tapes these are the master tapes these are where the episodes are stored they're not
available in their original quality anywhere else so this is so that there could be a blu-ray potentially
yeah
so cool um
all right so i guess it's uh just you and me oh
uh hi let's go with not this view maybe i mean yeah that's not great either um how about that
how about just move yourself over there is that a thing that you
you didn't even manage to go in the right direction really backwards it's backwards i didn't even realize
that uh yeah sure uh we i don't know if we want to put dan in the chair because he's logged into
all this stuff over there and it'll be a bit of a hassle for him to do that over here and we've still
got to do merge messages i think it's time for when show after dark so uh shall we shall we do that
sure i really sincerely wish that i had used the uh fact that luke was still here to run to the washroom
earlier because now i just get to hold it for the rest of the show cool all right hit me dan
sure sure we'll try and make this uh working uh hey eckle and nad i recently got an rfid collar
cat feeders to prevent them stealing food from each other and they have been awesome is there any
pet related tech that you ended up loving i had one of those rfid um kitty doors and the idea was
that one of the cats would be allowed out into the garage and one of them wouldn't uh they ended up
being so strong our cats um the bangles that they were both able to just force the door open in
either direction but the concept was pretty cool because the idea was you could authorize in out
in and out or nothing on a per microchip uh basis uh i i have not actually ended up investing in much
pet technology my cats just seem to be too smart to care about anything that's not actually human
controlled like you can't just have a little you know thing on a motor that just kind of moves
around they just they get bored of it hey dll when did ltd writers start getting more screen time
and what goes into deciding when a writer is or isn't featured on a particular video
this has been a different answer at various stages in the company's history i mean the first
time a writer was featured on screen was when luke joined me for wan show like 10 years ago or something
like that um as for what goes into deciding when a writer is or isn't featured in a particular video
there's a number of criteria that we look at internally james is actually the one who created
kind of a a a rubric for uh determining you know whether someone should be on camera and what are the
success metrics that we're going to be looking for it's something that's not actually rolled out yet
because up until now it's been a little bit more gut feel but there are definitely things that
we that we look for i mean we look at subject matter passion uh that's something that's really
important to us because you can you can train people to be somewhat functional on camera but you
can't train someone to actually care about the thing that they're talking about and genuine caring
about it is in a lot of ways a lot easier than learning to act like you care about it right so if we just
take people who are genuinely really interested and passionate and excited you know even if they
are you know let's say um a relatively low energy personality right like you look at your high energy
personalities the people like uh like me or an alex and you compare that to someone that is
maybe more of a low energy personality like like a nicholas plouffe he can still be really excited and
you can still get engaged with that um because he just genuinely cares right so it makes up for
a lot of differences in style that might otherwise not really work um one of the things is you know
how well do we want the video to perform it's no secret that a video will perform better if it's
hosted by me and the more hosted by me it is the more better i mean it's something that mr beast has
talked about on his videos where if his you know supporting cast appears for an extended period of time
retention goes down it's it's uh people subscribe to these channels and the the closest parasocial
relationship they have is with the primary host of these channels and you can kind of you can have
other personalities be part of it but they are less permanent than the primary hosts of these channels i
mean like i don't i don't know for certain that luke will be on ltt forever i think so i mean we're
buddies we're good um i he he believes in the company he believes in our mission all these things
are aligned but at the end of the day you know an employee doesn't have the same level of permanence
as the owner founder host um so you know that's something that has to be carefully considered when
you're going to start grooming someone for on-camera appearances and and investing in both that that
training of them for for the new job that they're doing and training the audience to get to get used
to seeing them right so there's man there's a lot of things to consider but i'd say the biggest ones
are are just you know how much is the audience going to like this because at the end of the day you guys
are the boss and if you guys like it then it's good and it works and if you guys don't like it then
it doesn't work and the whole thing collapses right oh let's see hey dale l would you like to in uh who
would you like to invite next to the wan show i find myself still thinking about the conversations
with jim keller and telling anyone that will listen i find myself still thinking about the conversation
with jim keller that was great um i have not had any particular thoughts on someone else we'd like to
invite to the wan show that one just kind of fell into my lap i still have a lot of the same concerns
that i had around having him as a guest right like we almost never start on time because our schedules
are are hectic and and and difficult so anytime we have a guest who you know earns more in a day than
i'm worth in six months right like i and i don't necessarily think that mr keller is paying himself that
much i just mean if we were to bring on okay let's say let's say jensen right if we were to invite
jensen to the wan show it's like i don't know how how many how many cents did the nvidia stock go up
in the last half an hour while he's been waiting for us right like i it's something that i feel
self-conscious about that's for sure i don't want to disrespect anybody and if i know that i'm probably
not going to be on time then i'd rather just not book the meeting so there's a little bit of that and
a little bit of just like it's tough to find the right balance right like i've definitely seen
other tech creators that have platformed people that i honestly wouldn't have been that comfortable
with a lot of um a lot of people are hyper influential but honestly have um have things to
answer for that i would feel obligated to ask them like i i there are a number of people in the
billionaire class that if i had them on the show like think about it for yourself with jim keller it's
no problem let's talk about you know microprocessor design future of computing amazing conversation
what a great guy um but you know he doesn't have a lot of baggage as far as i'm aware like if if i had
one of like one of the the you know the real titans like one of the one of the one of the billionaires
right if i had one of those on the show like if i brought if i brought in jensen if i didn't ask him
why he doesn't give two shits about gamers anymore would you guys be happy with that right so what am
i gonna do i'm gonna bring these guys on i'm gonna do a puff piece i'm just gonna like ask
some questions they want to answer and and that's it like look at man look at how much um elon musk's
demeanor changed as soon as don lemon started asking him the questions that he should be answering he
basically goes i don't have to i don't have to answer your questions yeah because that's his attitude
he doesn't think he owes anybody a explanation for anything and it's that it's it's that arrogance that
i would feel obligated to challenge if i have someone here on my platform in front of your
eyeballs that's that's my responsibility and i'd honestly rather just not have him on
hey linus when renovating your home was it worth it to you to install outlets with usb both type a
and c in convenient places or did you decide using charging block was better i wish that i had done some
of them with uh usb ports i uh we didn't we just left all the original outlets because we didn't want to
throw money in a dumpster for no reason uh but i i definitely wish that i'd strategically put some
in in fact i bought a couple and they're still sitting in my bin of stuff to do to strategically
install like under the kitchen counter and like in a couple of other places i i considered at one
point replacing all of them and if we were going to replace them i was going to be like ah screw it
i don't know get the usb ones uh but then i looked at the price difference i was like oh okay
actually you know what just forget the whole thing put the original ones back in
but yeah i'm gonna go around i'll do it myself in an afternoon or something like that it's if you
i i i'm not recommending that you do that in fact in some places it's illegal to work on your own house
in that manner but i um i have the capability of replacing a duplex receptacle so you know just
to turn off the breaker make sure all the things go in the right place um so i do intend to do that
at some point hi wan.dll buying this as a father's day gift my question is for luke uh well hmm awkward
i've worked at a startup that does web scraping what are your thoughts on the laws that protect from it
right now it's a gray zone linus do you have any thoughts for luke uh sure yeah um luke generally
believes in a in an open internet and um understands the the complexities and challenges around allowing
anyone unlimited access to your api um so that's why you obviously can't just pull as many requests
that way as you want so that's one of the reasons that screen scraping is done he also understands the
value of protecting your data protecting your content um and understands why you know a website
might try to protect against screen scraping but you know i think he's going to balance the that
knowledge against his general belief in um that information should be openly available uh to people
and so i think he would probably have a a nuanced take rather than uh a yay or nay this should be a
thing or this shouldn't be a thing there i did my best i'm pretty sure that's something like what
luke would say i got another question for luke dang it i uh whoops uh have you followed anything for
the game dark and darker have you have you you don't play extraction shooters nope i haven't look
luke okay look he's not going to answer luke hey question mostly for linus hey we got one nice
are there any other vr games aside from beat saber that you use to work out i personally love until you fall
i man beat saber just kind of became my thing uh i definitely liked hollow point before that
um it's a wow is that ever a dynamic game once you get past the first couple of levels you're diving
you're ducking you're dodging um really cool if you haven't played it before basically you've got a
bow and arrow and you've got to you've got to shoot these things that they turn red gradually and then
when they do they fire something at you and when you break them they fire something at you so you
basically have to hit them and immediately dodge every single time you take one down you gotta
and you gotta be looking all around you all the time because they they spawn in and then they start
changing color and then you get up a little bit higher and then like guys start coming at you on
the ground it's it's it's crazy when the pandemic yes i was trying to do the aunt beru voice thank you
for catching it quantum rand when the pandemic hit we went from one to one chromebooks we went to one
to one chromebooks as an it teacher trying to certify students in the a plus i have students
that have never used windows it's becoming an issue how can i prep them you can't um uh yeah no but
this is what i'm talking about this is what i'm talking about you've got an entire generation of
kids who the only computer that they might interface with on a regular basis is a chromebook
um i think a plus is going to have to kind of like figure that figure that out a little bit and
that's going to have to be part of their prep materials that they develop and let's see last
one i've got for you here hey lld i've seen some big youtube channels starting their own streaming
services recently did they contact you about floatplane has the moment for floatplane as a
service arrived um no i think we need we would need to hire someone whose entire job is to is to build
out floatplane's offering and it's very clear to me that there are streaming services that could benefit
from our team's expertise i i i tuned into the canucks short-lived playoff run and i discovered that um
sportsnet plus which is owned by rogers which is a media giant here in canada um isp slash mobile
network provider uh anyway they they own the broadcasting rights for um that particular
series i think the nhl in canada i don't know whatever i i i forget how the rights work it's
been a long time since i followed it closely the point is i was watching on rogers sportsnet plus
and um hilariously i discovered that they have not figured out a drm protection scheme that protects
their streams from users simply logging in opening a stream window getting a session key and then just
sharing that with anyone they they are not actually doing any user account authentication we solved that
like five or six years ago um and i'm sitting here going dude we've got like half a dozen people
what are you even doing so yeah there's definitely opportunities there with companies that have
money we just haven't developed that business because we're doing we're doing other stuff i i don't
know what to tell you i i would i would love for floatplane to really take off but as it is it's it's
still doing fine like we've got i think like 35 000 subscribers on floatplane right now to ltt alone
we've got other creators on the platform um but it's just kind of doing its thing it's doing its thing
uh yeah sure um hi friends it's my husband's birthday on the third and he always listens to
the wan show on podcast could you give him a shout out he wishes there was more wan show throughout the
week well it would help if you told me his name um but hey i'm gonna do this the best way that i can
um shout out michaela m's husband
so that's that that worked out great and i think oh we've got a problem
oh no we do we do have a problem hold on i think i have a solution i can't push the button i think i
i think i have a solution it's illegal uh i i've got this i've got this hold on
hello uh hey we've got a bit of a problem
what all right thanks for tuning into the wan show we'll see you again next week
same bad time same bad channel bye thanks luke bye
