I
Is it gonna work I don't know
How am I supposed to know this is literally quite literally your department hey
That's kind of true, but it wasn't supposed to be supposed to be okay. We're live on Twitch
We're live on Twitch. Are we live on YouTube? Oh wow. Oh my god. We're live on YouTube. Are we live on flow plane? Oh?
Okay, it's not playing, but that's you know what yeah, oh, that's reassuring
Wow we are live on three platforms at once how many terms of service are we breaking right now one. What are flow places?
You know what I know we're already half an hour late, but darn it. We're gonna cut this and we're gonna do better
We're gonna cut it. Yeah, we're gonna come back. We're gonna break more terms of service. Oh
Let's get out. Let's get a mixer account
Actually that wouldn't mixer lets you stream another
Still be only one guys welcome to the WAN show for the first time
Simulcasting to flow plane YouTube and
Twitch TV we have never done this before pretty unreal flow plane
Just got live streaming support
It's sort of so it's actually had live streaming capabilities for a long time, but now
It has a chat. Hey look at how how seption is this okay?
So they got me in the corners you like people watching on YouTube
They've got youtuber Linus in the corner over here, and then there's like whatever
There's the corner of me in the corner of the float like they're like watching through you could see the delay look at that, baby
Look at that, baby
Anyway, so it's got I think what about like seven seven second delay
It's it's for most people I expect it will be around ten seconds plus or minus two
But I don't know it doesn't matter doesn't matter anyway anyway, so huh?
Do you want do you want to tell us how much fun this was to get going?
It actually wasn't even that bad really we we've had we've had the live streaming part working for a while
Oh, yeah, why did it work take so long? I'm in the kit chat was not that was not full plates problem
That was not full points problem. You're just gonna pin it right on Jake aren't you know it's it's so
RTMP servers as far as we can tell yeah, don't like
What is it hold on wait stop hold that thought?
Look at this the video quality is great. I was just gonna share that with the YouTube people who are enjoying YouTube live streaming quality I
Enjoy that YouTube people just JK. We love you YouTube people make mates over on YouTube right now wait, maybe
What are you doing watching on YouTube bro? Wow wow wow wow wow way to not support Luke?
Yeah, so the guy that fixed it AJ. Thank you
He was actively playing beer pong because it's like definitely after work
So I said to him just uh in all capital letters, and he was like okay
I'll try to get good. It's a good thing. I'm great at this game. Otherwise. I'd be super way
Good job, buddy
Thanks, man. You got it working
All right all right, so we got a great show for you guys today
I think I don't know I haven't actually looked at the notes um
Windows 10 if you check for updates, it's been downloading preview patches oops
Oh, what else we got here leaks and the launch of the galaxy s10 not to be confused with the galaxy s9 my friends
This will be totally different and two incredible things happen in China iPhone sales were completely halted
And they banned fortnight and pub G
Oh China, you know why you got to be no fun. How are we supposed to play pub G on our iPhones now?
Let's roll the intro
That's what you're talking about
I never entered my name anywhere without a capital
Okay, maybe maybe I made that account then who's manning the floatplane LTT account. Oh that must be Nick probably yeah
That's not a mystery Nick
All right, so why don't we jump right into our first topic today?
Windows 10 you know this has always driven me nuts
Have you ever been driven nuts by clicking check for updates in Windows and it being like?
Your computer's up to date and then
Quite literally three minutes later. You'll get like a a thing downloading up
We need yeah, and it's got it's like a service pack
And you're kind of sitting there going how did you not see that what exactly is the purpose?
I wish I could swear right now
We don't really swear on this show
But what is the purpose of this button if it doesn't check for updates?
Well now they made it work too good
so according to Microsoft Windows 10 has
B C and D updates and each is released once per month these quality updates are smaller than feature
Updates like the October 2018 update that came with all kinds of great features
Which are meant to be released once every six months usually in the spring and fall
Anyway, it doesn't matter so B is the biggest and comes out on patch Tuesday the second Tuesday of the month
These are the most important updates featuring new security fixes, and they contain previously released security fixes from prior B updates and previously released
bug fixes from prior C and D updates
Windows update doesn't automatically install C and D updates on most PC's however it does when you
check for updates
maybe
according to a recent Microsoft blog post this makes you a
Seeker so just because just because you're like hey, I should have my computer. Ha ha ha ha
Try to ignore it
Oh, it's pretty good. That was pretty failed. I okay in the most recent which I think is still only on flow plane
Yeah, that's recent PC manufacturers investigation video that joke line, and then they put in the credits for the joke
What was the joke line? I don't even remember this. I don't remember what you said. I said something super punny
Okay, super aggressively punny, and they like paused the whole video and ran credits as if it was over and it was like
joke writer Linus like
Joke delivery Linus all this kind of stuff, and then like joke support Ivan or something it was it was wonderful
I really enjoyed that I can say without beyond a shadow of a doubt that must have been edited by Pella
That is a plus
1,000% his sense of humor
Also, I love it. I enjoyed it a lot anyways back back on topic the seeker thing
So literally just wanting your computer to be up-to-date and like secured and more stable
Which is generally what you would hope that means you get labeled as a seeker
Which is basically a beta testing program like what no?
So wait a beta testing beta beta testing program for be updates taking place on stable PCs
They have repeatedly said only advanced
Users should click the check for updates button except what everyone has trained everyone to do forever is
Like when you're doing maintenance you just click the check for updates
So what if I click this on like one of the servers because I'm performing server maintenance on the weekend
And I want updates because it's time to reboot them no no now. I'm an advanced user. Yes
well you are but like
So you shouldn't be automatically up. Oh, this is fun, so this could explain why?
Microsoft generated so much hate within the tech community
Specifically like like there was it seemed like there was a disproportional response
To the whole deleting files thing because normally that kind of thing can happen, but it'll be among users who will like
complain to their sister over dinner that like stupid laptop my files are gone, but it was like
enthusiasts
Shrieking about it so apparently the people who had their files deleted by the faulty October update were users who click the check
For updates button that's insane
It's actually insane wow so that could have easily happened to me because I was like. Oh, yeah, you know I I
Haven't really installed any updates blah blah blah lately, but I do click that button when I'm ready to install an update
You know it's interesting fascinating
I noticed it's I haven't talked about this on WAN show. I guess have I I don't think so, but I'm running mint right now
Yes, I talked about it not on WAN show okay. Yeah, I did know this so I'm running mint right now
I was running Linux by the way yeah for the uninitiated. Yeah, I was running 8.1 embedded systems. I love it. It's mint I
Loved it
But embedded systems, it's not automatically downloading updates
I had it flight to not automatically download updates what made it so I had to switch to mint was I ran Windows updates and
Then my computer restarted
Black screen nothing worked. I could see my mouse, but couldn't do anything anything at all try to recover the OS
Nothing not gonna work said it errored every single time
That bad news bears. I switched to mint to recover
Oh, I did mint live CD to recover my stuff that worked
I got all my files sounds good installed windows again did updates again black screen again, okay?
Did mint more permanently this time maybe it's cuz I checked updates
This is talking Windows 10 specifically, but I did notice when I checked the like optional updates thing
Yeah, I looked at it. There was preview
Interesting I didn't put that together until literally right now the crazy thing about this is they have the insider program
Yeah, like they actually have a welcome. I think well communicated
formal program for this
Flow plane stream quality seems to be all over the place in case you were just curious
So some users are getting literally like 23 someone wrote they're getting 23 megabits a second down, which is
Pretty dumb for a live stream if your connection can take it
Oh, yeah, then enjoy, but others are saying they have they have good connections
And it's like looking pretty pinner and mine in fact is not is looking a little soft right now
So and it was looking really sharp before I think AJ's in the chat. He's hanging out
Some people really good look look look, okay?
Yeah, click the check for updates button
When you join float plane, that's basically a big check for updates button this bits. It's beta. It's beta. It's alpha
It's alpha. It's very alpha. It's very weird that people are getting like monstrous megabit down
Yeah, it's it's it's a mixture of things that right now. There's no manual quality settings
So there's a mixture of things that determine what quality you're getting
Including mine just sharpened up a living viewport size and a few other things as well. Oh really okay interesting
Someone just said they peaked at 32 megabits a second
that is
Ridiculous I have no idea what's doing that, but AJ's AJ's here. Yeah, AJ is the hero full hero mode
anyway, I
Haven't experienced that before on any of the tests either. What are you getting? Yeah? I'm way. I'm way under
I'm like way way less than that like I'm receiving anywhere as low as like two
Six four yeah, it's a little better now anyway. Why don't we move on to our next next news topic for the day?
leaks and launch the galaxy s10 is coming and I
Am having a real hard time getting interested in another phone right now
Yeah, cuz they're all really boring well. I just had a whole slew of them not just boring
Gal
Samsung was sort of my last hope for someone
to not jump on this like
Weird cutouts and holes in the display
Bandwagon like I don't know about you, but when I first got a webcam
So this was quite a long time ago when I first got a webcam
the mounting system for the particular one that I bought was not very good and
What happened was it kind of hung down a little bit in front of my screen?
giving me well effectively a notch I
Thought it was stupid then I think it's stupid now
Now I have seen some relatively tasteful applications of the notch have you seen the oneplus 6t
Yeah, the like little swoop. I think it's a lot better. Yeah
But I am NOT a fan of the infinity Oh display
That is rumored to be coming in the s10
I can't I can't remember who said this, but someone someone wants to get you know we we nicknamed the thingy a notch
I
Don't remember who said this, but they said this should be called the pimple
And I think that's kind of hilarious. Oh
Yeah, that doesn't look good at all especially the s10 plus like what the heck
So I get it there's two things there, but like even if they made it like
Yeah, I don't know. It's just weird and useless, and I don't like it like they could have just made the chin bar smaller again
and just just I don't know I just
know
Yours might not be a very popular opinion, but you actually spent some time with a pixel 3 XL and you had
Your own experience with a pretty ridiculous notch. I didn't really mind it
Please do elaborate. That's honestly pretty much it. I didn't really care
It pretty much never bow
Why do you care?
Because it doesn't have to be that way
What's wrong with the note 9 Samsung already nailed it? They already nailed it. It's fine
It's fine exactly. I don't think it's a good thing. I'm not saying it's a positive thing
I don't wish it was on all my devices. I just doesn't really bother
Me if they have to go that low and honestly
Pixel devices while I have enjoyed them very much because I really like stock Android have never really been
Other than their camera. I've never really been like the bleeding edge of what can happen with a phone fair enough
You know what I mean software wise sure
Hardware wise yeah, no the bleeding edge is
this my phone including a
Selfie remote that that is the bleeding edge. That is literally the only thing I use this pen for
That's pretty funny actually
Also that one tweet that I sent where I put a bunch of question marks on it
All right, well why don't we walk through what's what's shaken with these phones here
I mean, there's some cool stuff
So there's gonna be three versions the s10 the s10 lite and the s10 plus
So the 10 and the 10 plus are rumored to be curved. Um, they are wait. Is this even like rumored?
Is this consider? Oh, yeah, these are these are maybe leaks. I don't know whatever it doesn't matter
Sure, let's call them rumors. So the s10 is gonna have 128 or 512 gigs of storage
That is a lot of phone storage making in my opinion
Micro SD expansion slot basically irrelevant. So if we can move past needing to put SIM cards
In our phones like a bunch of chimps from you know, 1998 at some point
Then we can do away with a tray that slides out of our phones increasing their water resistance
It's gonna be 799 or 999 this is in pounds, so I don't know how that translates usually the Europeans
Just kind of get fleeced on that conversion. So it'll probably be equivalent in us dollars, even though the pound
Last time I checked I haven't been able to get a lot of information on that
But last I checked it was worth more than the USD the s10 plus is going to be 0.3 inches bigger and we'll have a 1
terabyte version along with 128 replacing these
along with the 128 and 512 and go for as much as
1399 pounds and then the s10 light will have a non curved display 128 gigs and it'll be cheaper at 669
So still a lot of work to do
But by the time you buy it on a two or three or contract or whatever your carriers offer you can have it pretty darn
Subsidized you could probably get it for like a couple hundred bucks. They are supposed to include headphone jacks
An in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. No iris scanner anymore. They're doing away with that the iris scanner
It was cool, but it's like
It's obviously a stepping stone like that one
Gonna be the way forward unless they could figure out how to make a super fisheye lens on the front of the on the front of
The phone high resolution enough to read your iris from anywhere and that's I don't know maybe someday but it's not realistic right now
Yeah, the ability to wirelessly charge other devices is something they're calling power share. Okay. Have you seen this?
Have you seen this how they want to do this? No, it's like put up your phone
We're sharing power now friend. I'm not even kidding. What is the point of that?
This is literally the thing in my life that most often needs to be topped up. Why exactly do you have to like nfc?
photo share power now
It's the greatest feature i've ever heard
And apparently there's three cameras. Okay, to be fair. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that
And apparently there's three cameras. Okay to be fair. Yeah, if it didn't add to the cost which like it's gonna add to the cost
But if it didn't add to the cost
The ability to like kind of jumpstart someone sure kind of cool. Sure, I guess I would probably have a battery bank on me
Sure, but sure. Yeah
But it's gonna add to the cost so like whatever I don't know um, you know, it's really interesting my
I have not run out of phone battery ever since I got a car with android auto because there's such a good reason to plug in
My phone when i'm driving and with not not even fast charge. I don't even use fast charge
I think it's like a two amp charger or something like that like nothing special
But even with that with how quickly phones charge these days
It's like kind of amazing actually because if i'm at you know, 20 percent or whatever and I just drive somewhere for 10 minutes
It'll be at 35 40 and boom i'm good for like a significant amount of the rest of the day
Yeah, you just get little pop-ups and it's nice because that can actually extend the overall life of your of your phone as well
I'm not i'm saying that to the stream. Uh, so random little flow plane update while you do that
We're at over 350 people live right now
Really? The average viewer is getting 4.4 megabit per second
The reason why people are seeing like 16 and stuff is because they're getting bursts
Got it. Gotcha. Yeah, and actually 4.4 isn't that low for a stream for the average viewer. Got it
All right
So most people don't watch it source. We do need to have manual selections though so that people can choose to be higher
That would be that would be good
When you're gonna get high, it should be a choice
All right
I phone sales. I'm tired
Like so because this week was tiring or yeah, it has been it has been a tiring week
I like I i've hardly even seen this guy
We're like kind of back to that thing where like the entire week went by and I didn't even see you
Yeah, what is exciting in luke land in luke land?
It's like the place where luke lives
My snowboard showed up nice. Yeah, that's cool. We gotta go snowboarding. Yep. Definitely
Um, mine's super old. It's from like when I was a teenager
Was I even a teenager yet? I think I got it before I moved in with my mom so I was 11
I didn't get much taller. My my my snowboard was I was just gonna say I still actually have my snowboard
So when I was around then too and it just doesn't work for me anymore
The boots don't fit. It's not tall enough, but I keep it just in case still fit
The boots don't fit. It's not tall enough, but I keep it just in case still fit
You keep it just in case I need something
I was gonna say other people but it might be too big
I'm sorry
Okay, anyways, anyways
Insulting. Um, I I don't have a ton. I I can't necessarily talk about some of this stuff
Uh, I guess I can't say float plane things. Yeah
um, because because the rest of it's like my grandpa stuff and I just don't want um, the float plane stuff is
Uh, no, that's still I guess I can talk about the problems. Sure. Okay. So i'm trying to get a place
I've been living in a basement suite for a long time. I've been trying to buy an accommodation of my own pretty nice basement suite
Uh, yes. Yes, but it's it's an accommodation of my own. So right. Oh, oh, it's going down. All right, that's not great. Anyways, um,
um, and my problem right now is
Shaw is the only isp available at the place that I want to go to and shaw's maximum commercial up or uh,
Residential upload if I remember correctly is like 15 or 20 megabit per second up
and I don't want to deal with that because I want to stream and stuff and
Shaw has shown time and time again that they're not interested over the last many years
They're not interested in increasing that has to do with their infrastructure being more tv-based and whatever whatever so like it will never go up
Uh, they just doubled their download speed for everyone
Almost everyone but the upload didn't go up at all
Yeah, so you can get a connection that I think is what 600 megabit down and like 10 up
I'm, pretty sure it's 600 down 15 up 15 up. Oh, oh, sorry 15
You know, it's funny because I uh, I have been on
Our uh commercial connection here. So gigabit up gigabit down for so long
Like it has been so we got fiber at the old office
That would have been we've been in this building for three plus years now
So that would have been like four and a half years ago and that fiber was 150 150 150
So it had been almost half a decade since I had uploaded a video to youtube
From a cable modem. Okay. So before I got fiber at my house, I have 300 300 fiber at my house
Anyway before I got the fiber in at my house for some reason I had to like
Transcode a wan show or something like the stream broke in the middle or something
I had to I had to splice it together and then upload it and I took it home to do it
and I clicked upload and then I like sat there and I expected to just sit at my computer and
Finish babysitting it and making sure that it went live
And then I I checked the the the the timer for it and it was like yeah come back in two and a half hours
It's like what?
What year is it? I was just gonna say it's like you go back quite a few years in terms of internet and I was on
Their 300 down connection, which is now the 600 down so I must have been 15 megabit up
Because that 50 megabit that's one and a half megabytes a second. So to upload 90 megabytes is a minute
So 900 megabytes would be
10 minutes so then something like
The wan show which is now I think a six and a half or eight gigabyte file or something stupid like that
Okay, fine. Maybe it wasn't two hours. Maybe it's an hour and a half doesn't matter. The point is that sucks
It's bad and then you're gonna have some fluctuations in that and sha is somewhat shared in terms of their performance
So if you were trying to do that in a high time prime time, it's gonna be slower
So like anyways, i'm not down i'm not down at all with sha connection
But no, especially if that's the only option uh-uh not gonna do it and apparently sha in this building was like
Oh, we're gonna give five years free internet 30 and basic cable
So telus was like I just we're just not i'm not gonna go in there. No potential customers
So i'm trying to talk to telus right now and be like, hey, there's some potential customers like me
I'll buy two connections. Yeah, whatever just come on
Would you do it? Sure. Would you hold on a minute? Because like my my internet bill is over 100 bucks a month
Yeah, 300. Okay. So the reason why I said sure right away. Okay, because i've literally thought about this scenario already. Okay. Okay
Okay, so you would pay
Like 250 bucks a month
It'll be a little it'll be less than that, but it's it's still about 200 bucks a month
Okay, you would pay 200 bucks a month if they were like, you know, you need to find six people
Okay, and you could only find five people
You'd buy two
To get fiber into the building. Yes, because
Would you buy three?
Uh, we're probably getting to a no at that point because what i'm doing is you'd have 900 megabits you could get like
a teaming router
I have almost a gigabit connection because you know what you could do
So remember that video we did? Okay. Sorry. Sorry. I know I interrupted hold that thought but this is this is cool
This is crazy because we're getting the 10 gig connection here. You remember that video we did with ightel's bonding service
You could bond your connection through a vpn to the office. You could bond the connections
You're so close physically to it
That the latency hit wouldn't be that bad. You'd eat like three milliseconds probably
Oh my god
That would be hilarious. You'd have gigabit at home. We're going to have a gigabit at home
That would be hilarious. You'd have gigabit at home
Would you pay if you could bond the connections for free because I wouldn't charge you to put something in the server room
I don't care. That'd be hilarious. We could do a video about it. What do I care?
You wouldn't even be using it half the time if that was yeah
Okay, if it was just like for funsies no, but if it was like to get tell us into the building. Yeah
Sure
You'd do it. Yeah. All right, interesting
mainly because
That contract would have a time gate on it and I would be able to not at some at some point. Yeah
Because okay my my issue is right now. That place is actually a really good deal
Yeah, so that increased monthly would still technically make that place worth it. Sure. Got it makes sense
That's the reasoning behind it. Got it. Got it. Got it
If I had to get the other place i'm looking at I would not do that regardless. Got it. Because it's not as worth it
Ah, i'm having fun i'm having fun, but all good things must come to a pause
Not an end. The show is not over. These are still good things. Let's tell you guys about
Moss backpacks. This is the new one. Is it? Yes. No, I haven't been briefed on this. This is the previous one
This was my briefing and then this this is the slightly even more older version of this one
But this is the one that I actually daily drive. So that makes it
So that makes it easier. I guess no, that's the oh, this is the old grande. Wait, is this bigger than mine?
I don't even know. Is that do you have a grande? I don't know
No, I don't know if you do. I don't have a grande. I have a smaller one. Okay
Shut up. Anyways, this is updated december 2018. This is the new grande. Okay, that's the previous grande
You can put that one away. Apparently we still we can compare differences but like nope, we aren't gonna do that. Okay
You can't buy the old one anymore. Anyway, so there's a pocket there. There's a pocket there
I use this pocket for my screwdriver and I use this pocket for when I accidentally forget to take my microphone
And my teleprompter remote out of my pocket at the end of the day and I put it here
So everyone knows all the shooters know
If linus took they can't find it check there
That's a fantastic pocket to have like dedicated to that one thing I want to point out
I point this out every single time but just in case you haven't seen the show before the orange
The orange is amazing. It zips down more
The orange makes it so that anyway like shiny reflective bright orange
You can easily see into the bottom of here if I put my if I put my wallet in there
You can easily see that the wallet is there. Uh, yeah, your old everki bag was orange on the inside, too
If I recall correctly and that's like that's that's key. It's really helpful with finding stuff speaking of key
I keep my usb keys in this zippered pocket in mine. That makes sense. I don't have these ones
I don't think so. That's cool. I guess I might have to switch my backpack
I keep a mouse in here, but this one has the power feature so you can plug in which is actually what do you want?
Jono
Lower third. Well, you know what?
Moss is cool. They don't care. They're done. Hey, you can save 25 using offer code linus tech 25
Which is the same as the percentage that you're saving. I don't know what this other side's for but it's kind of like
Uh plasticy, so maybe it's supposed to be for a water bottle in case you get a little leaf. I think so and then uh,
finally
You've got boom a built-in battery bank slash charger doodad with type-c and type-a ports
And mine has all this stuff, but frankly I ripped it out because I don't really charge stuff in my bag
But you can do that sure and then you can just put other stuff in the pouches some people love that functionality. Yeah
I just I don't really care. It's fine. That's fine. So you can use offer code linus tech 25 at mossorganizer.com
Until christmas. Oh, it's 25 because it's 25 off and christmas is december 25th. Oh
So get this get this. Sorry. I'm gonna move our sponsor stuff away because this is gonna get a little bit political. Oh
Okay, apparently there's a school in vancouver that is banning candy canes
because the red
Symbol and the j symbolize the blood of jesus
Okay
So I don't normally
Like get real is that even bad when you when you go to church, don't you like?
Well, the point is that it's upsetting to people who don't go to church
Not people who do oh, yeah. No. No. Yes. That's sort of like one of the fundamental, you know
Blood of the christ and the flesh of the all of that all of that kind of so other people can't so other people are mad
because candy canes are
in the school
and uh
If anyone who's involved in this decision is watching I think you're an idiot I just want to throw that out there
There's nothing wrong with wearing turbans there's nothing wrong with eating candy canes. Yep
Because it doesn't matter
If you disagree, you're actually stupid
All right
Why don't we move on to our next bouncer?
This is something we can all agree on savage jerky is delicious it is i'm gonna have some teriyaki
Do you want actually you know what i'm gonna go with some habanero buffalo sauce. I don't think i've seen that either
It's been opened so someone got into it colton was probably like what is this probably colton?
What is this or jonno? Savage jerky is made with high quality ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal of creating a snack
That's full of flavor and spice, but that isn't bad for you. They've got 13 different flavors of jerky
I think this is a hot one. It's pretty hot
Like their sriracha bacon and maple buffalo bacon. That's my favorite. They make barbecue sauces hot sauces and the spice rub
And their carolina reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world the carolina reaper
You can use offer code ltt to save ten percent at savage jerky
Boom that one's good
Actually, it's not that hot. I like it. It's just hot. It's not like crazy hot. Yeah
That's actually at a really good level. It doesn't overdo it if if you like if you like spice
but
You also like to taste things. Yeah, I think it's at a really good spot for that
That's really nice because it's really you've got the heat but like it's fine. I don't think i've tried this one before I definitely haven't
It's good used with buffalo sauce anything with buffalo sauce like have you ever tasted anything with buffalo sauce on it?
That's not good. Actually. Yes, unfortunately. Oh, what was it? It was a rack of ribs
You had buffalo ribs that sucked yeah
Not at our house. No, no, no, those were wonderful. They weren't buffalo, but they were good whatever they were
They were fantastic. I just yeah. No, that was not that it was a completely different thing. Wow
Who doesn't wasn't these either who saw that one coming? Yeah, I know. Well, no, these are clearly not ribs. I think I don't think anyone
I'm, just making sure I don't think anyone thought you were going there people wanted to ban candy canes
We gotta make sure we're communicating these things properly
Oh lordy, okay private internet access private internet access support the internet access
Supports a variety of vpn protocols and types of encryption and authentication allowing you to dial in the exact level of privacy protection that you need
They've got apps for windows mac os android ios linux and google chrome
What more do you want and you can connect up to five devices at the same time on a single account? So
I don't know if this is against their terms of service. But like when my in-laws went to china I was like
Yo, use my account
Bippity boppity sign in on both their phones and drop them off at the airport. Cool. Beautiful. Yeah done
I didn't work the whole time while they were over there china's constantly in like this sort of arms race with vpn providers
But they were able to actually like check their email periodically, which is better than
Nothing. Yeah, um their apps include dns leak protection and ipv6 leak protection
They have an internet kill switch that will block all traffic if the vpn becomes disconnected and you can check it out today
At lmg.gg forward slash pia wan
Or also like this thing which is even worse. Yeah. Yeah
We should we really still like it's possible. He even set up the shortener now
We should just shorten her that ourselves
We should well, it's just the graphic that's bad. Okay. All right iPhone sales speaking of china halted in china
A chinese court
This is originally posted by diehard on the forum and the original article is from roiters a chinese court
I thought that was rooters until like two years ago. I had never heard anyone say it's not rooters. It's roiters
You said roiters. I thought that was literally a different website that I hadn't necessarily seen
Nope, okay. I don't know. I just only seen it in text like i'd read any of it, but i've never i've i've heard it
But I thought it was just a different website. I don't really listen to video and I do listen to it
I've heard it, but I thought it was just a different website. I don't really listen to video and I don't have a cable subscription
So I don't watch like tv news. I have to explain to people all the time that I don't watch shows very often
Like
I'm usually gonna do something instead and that's apparently super weird, but all right
Well, even me i'll like make like a family guy reference or something from like back in the first few seasons when it was really
Good and like everyone was watching it
I don't know if it was that good. It seemed good at the time. It was pretty big then it was it was big
It was at least big. Yeah, and i'm i'm like and you're like
I know I just don't really watch shows. I don't know so I take so much flag
For talking like a valley girl. Do you even notice?
What?
Okay
On our on our typical videos, okay
Where it's sort of mostly our subscribers watching
There's nothing there's nothing about the earrings. There's nothing about he's probably gay. There's nothing about valley girl speak
but when our videos get picked up by the algorithm and they start to
Sort of spread. Yeah. Yeah. A great example was the uh, the uh, uh, stealing tampons from the amazon go store. So
It was hilarious because all of a sudden it was like going back
10 years in time like early. Yeah, so when I first started uploading videos
And the comment section was
Super predictable. It was like all these his voice is annoying. Yeah. Um, my hair wasn't as bad then
So there weren't as many comments about that. It's worse now
um
And uh, anyway, so there was there was one that recently that kind of managed to go outside our usual sphere of viewers
That that watch it and it was the walmart gaming pc
and
I had wanted to ask do you even notice?
Do you even notice?
Not even remotely
Huh? I have never thought that at any point in time and I brought it up because
just before I brought it up the reason that
I thought of it was I said like
Probably at least every third word over a span of about 15 words
and I kind of caught myself doing it and I was like
Huh
I
No, i've never
But you got to also consider like our age group said like a lot we did
It was like a thing to do. That wasn't just
Jesus christ, that wasn't just a valid. Oh, sorry candy. You can say that but no candy. Yeah
um, it wasn't just a valley girl level thing that was a a like
uh
A popular thing to do at that point in time regardless of being valley girl or not
Someone said you don't seem valley girl, but you do seem western canada. I'm like, well, yeah
Yeah, yeah for sure. I was like, well, yeah
Maybe the problem is I do too
So maybe that's why I don't notice it but like, okay, I don't know
Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe that's what's going on. Um
Remember when I used to edit your videos? Yes, and you would comment like sorry
You have to listen to my voice and I was like, I don't get it. I don't care
Yeah, like I never i've never noticed any of that. Yeah, I don't even think your voice is particularly high
But apparently i'm just objectively wrong about that. So like it's pretty bad. I don't know, you know, I experimented for a while hosting videos
And a slightly lower register. So it came from one that I hosted when I was sick. Yeah. Yeah, and
What I did was I experimented with delivering a little bit more like this like intentionally
I don't like it. I don't like it a bit more base. I don't like and a lot of people noticed and some of them
Said wow, this is an amazing improvement all of a sudden. I can actually listen to these videos
But the majority of the people who commented on it were actually upset
They were like, no, I like I like chihuahua liners when it's all like what?
It's just it's it feels very disingenuous to me it people said it felt really sterile
Yeah more like I was a presenter reading the script that had been provided to me as though I didn't fully understand it
You sound almost radio
Yeah, maybe maybe a little bit more. I mean, I still don't think I have a radio voice but uh
you know
Face maybe voice. No, uh, let's move on
We wanted to talk about the whole like chinese thing right iphone sales
Paulted so a chinese court has ordered a sales ban of select iphone models in china for violating two patents of the chip maker
qualcomm inc
Though intellectual property lawyers said enforcement of the ban was still likely a distant threat
The case is part of a global patent dispute between apple and qualcomm that includes dozens of lawsuits
Apple said it's filed a request for reconsideration with the court the first step in a long appeal process
the fuzu
Intermediate people's court found apple infringed two qualcomm patents and ordered an immediate ban on sales of iphone models from the 6s through to the 10
China hong kong and taiwan are apple's third largest market accounting for about one fifth of their total
265 and a half oh, sorry billion in sales in the most recent fiscal year
so, um
There's a little bit of commentary here that this could be a political play because
Apple is a direct competitor to some of the biggest companies in china whereas qualcomm is a supplier
so you can see them siding with them there, but um
I mean frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this just ends up being kind of an attempt to waste time more than anything else
Like I don't really understand the purpose of this kind of thing. Yeah, so already it's from the 6s through to the 10
The appeal process will take I mean, I don't know if the chinese courts are as slow as the ones over here
But I suspect they probably are a very long time. I don't know then again
I did watch the beijing olympics opening ceremonies, man. Look pretty efficient to me
But you never you never know. So if they take anywhere near as long as it is here
By the time apple were ever to have to actually pay anything or a sales ban were to actually go in effect
Um, those models would probably be eol and therefore completely irrelevant
So, I mean we saw a really similar thing happen with some of the early galaxy models where by the time apple managed to force
samsung to stop selling them in north america they were
Outdated and replaced by newer ones. Anyway
I mean, that's the that's sort of the
It's just one of the ways in which the patent system has failed us due to the pace of modern technology
There are many ways if you didn't understand that illusion because you don't like candy canes
I don't even like candy canes. I mean, I'm not even defending candy canes because I like them. I think they're stupid candy
I think they're stupid candy. They're not very good. And when I first heard that candy canes were being banned in the school
I actually agreed
I was like, oh
It's probably a danger thing like between either
Sharpening up the one end and like stabbing someone with it or taking the u end
putting it in a fist and like really messing someone up because
That could be done, you know
You punch some soft tissue with that like even if it didn't stay completely sharp
You could definitely do some damage. I was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense
And then I was talking to my wife about it and she's like no no, no, it's because it's like a religious symbol. I'm just like
I never even put that
together
Well pretty much everything christmas
I know but like the the the j and the wood like whoa
That may not even be what it is, but that just might be why people are mad about it. Sure. Okay, why not?
You know what? I'm gonna google this. Uh, oh someone on flow plane chat just asked where do I buy that shirt?
I know i've been wearing this shirt for literally
Months and there's been nowhere to buy it. Yeah. Um, we have a huge shipment. You've seen nick's office, right? Yes
It's full of boxes and boxes and boxes of these shirts. We're gonna have a new store
it's gonna be on lttstore.com we've been
Oops hard at work on this for a very very long time
It has taken too long, but that's a whole other conversation
But pretty much what happened was we weren't happy with either
The speed of delivery or the quality of the printing or the service or whatever else
From any of the merch providers that we've dealt with for one reason or another we have ended up switching
Every time and so we finally went you know what this is going to be a lot of work
And it has been a lot of work, but we're just going to find a way to do merch fulfillment ourselves
So over on lttstore.com right now, you can pre-order the scam usb drive, which is actually 32 gigs
It's from kingston
Uh, but says one terabyte on it because we're funny. Uh, so we alluded to this in one of our recent videos
This is just kind of like a collector's item
So you can you can get one if you want or you can not get one if you don't want it's a pre-order
Just please note, but it's like it's a kingston usb drive. You know exactly what you're getting
Apparently someone in the flowplane chat bought one. Oh, really?
All right. Well, there you go
And very soon and nick is standing there presumably with an update you will be able to buy this shirt
Oh, uh sure, that's not why you're here. No, I was just oh, it's after six. I'm supposed to be gone, but i'm not shirts tbd
Uh, what what is not tbd? Are they up? They're not up, but they're very very soon
Oh, yeah, so also coming is cable ties. Do you want to bring that kit? There's a cable tie here
Oh
Do you want me to go get you two packs? No, that's okay. So we're gonna have packs of 10
They're packs of 20. Sorry the ltt. You can't see these at all. I'm sorry
Whatever you still can't see them. They say ltt on the end
I was gonna go bring them to the camera, but it was super out of focus. Yeah, honestly
Honestly, they're nothing super amazing. They're just nice cable ties. They look clean
Just so you guys know it's it's a white box with ltt in it
There's orange ones. Well, they have orange printing. Oh cool. It's an orange printing like like the yeah, okay
So it's it's orange. I forgot about those ones. They're way more limited. Oh, okay. We don't have many of those
I think it's like 10 or orange or something. Oh, are they like supposed to be limited edition?
Or we just didn't think they'd sell as well. Uh, I think we just kind of played it a bit more safe on those ones
All right. Apparently we played it safe on the orange ones who would want, you know, orange ones
Actually, I think I think I was in on that decision. Okay
You've been in on most of these decisions. Yes
So if I don't like them, I have only myself to blame and nick and lloyd
And dad, but mainly
Uh, what can I do for you? Oh, okay. Are you guys still streaming? Yeah. Yeah a bit. Okay
Yeah, we're like in the middle of the white show. Yeah
We started super late. We're streaming on float plane though. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, and youtube and twitch. Yeah
So many streaming. I know right? Yeah
Uh china bans fortnite and pubg a panel of censors set up to vet mobile video games in china
Has assessed the first 20 titles that it did
Refusing nine of them permission to go on sale including fortnite and pubg
Developers of the other 11 have been told that they need to make adjustments to remove
controversial content everyone was either banned
Or had go back and read your game ended
The authorities have voiced concerns about the violent nature of some titles
As well as expressed worries about the activity being addictive
So in fairness to china
Um, should fortnite be banned? No, i'm just kidding
The author uh, so president xi jinping has also called for kids more to be done to tackle a rise in near-sightedness
Among the young something that the children the country's ministry of education has linked to children playing video games
At the cost of spending time on outdoor pastimes. Okay
Parent your kids and what does that mean?
Exactly by inharmonious chat room. They wouldn't like twitch is twitch. No twitch isn't over there, right?
It can't be no. No. Yeah, I mean anything with live chat is pretty tough over there. It's got to be pretty banned
Yeah, pretty censored and stuff. Is this story been like confirmed confirmed? Because when I saw it yesterday it was like super like excel spreadsheet
Oh
Yeah, and I saw some people being like I haven't actually seen them talk about it
So also who knows if it's real, but I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, it looks pretty so there's an edit on reddit that says uh,
It has been brought to the original poster's attention that blizzard posted an announcement on their official weebo
Denying that they've received notice for action needed on their games, but that has since been deleted
Huh
So like is it they're not supposed to talk about it. The china said they're not supposed to talk about it. They're not supposed to talk about it
They're not supposed to talk about it. Is it the chinese community has been somewhat divided with some accepting this list as believable
And others saying it's probably fake since anyone could make it
Uh, yeah, it's it's just like you were saying it's not even it's just it's just a table
And so like this could actually be really bad for blizzard in a lot of ways because it said in there
Diablo was because of like
Inharmonious chat. No. No, it was because of like there was gambling or something game missions include fraud
Okay
Uh, yes, that's what it was. Um, and didn't they just announce that they're doing like a diablo mobile game because chinese mobile market is like
Huge. Yeah fascinating. So immortal was like specifically for china
And they just also happened to include america because they're like, ah, you might like it too apparently no and not at all
But that's like how that went down
Oh my goodness
So razor has an app that uses your gpu to mine crypto and apparently keeps the coins
So this is supposed to buy cinnabar sonar on the forum. Do you get like razor points or something?
So the app is called soft miner a desktop app that utilizes the idle gpu processing power of gamers battle stations to solve complex
blockchain based puzzles on the back end
Razor rewards the owner of the pc running the app with razor silver, which can only be used to buy digital goods from razor
Razor says in their soft miner faq razor silver is not a cryptocurrency. It is a loyalty rewards program
We work with crypto mining technology to harness your computer's gpu and in turn we award you with silver
Giving you access to razor's ecosystem and suite of rewards
Possibly controversial who cares really what who cares don't run it?
Don't run it what if you don't realize like what if you how do you not realize that because you're against candy canes
Sorry, yeah, because you're against candy canes
I think it is very realistic to think that there are many people who do not
Understand crypto well enough to know that razor is taking their money and then giving them razor bucks
But you could but I mean that's isn't that basically the whole crypto thing anyway, you could like, uh
Uh, whoa. Oh, jeez. Oh good
Are these all the white ones? Oh, these are the orange ones. Oh, you got orange ones. I got white. Yeah here
Thanks
Oh you dumped it on the table. Yeah, so the orange one looks like that
There's a like orange thing on the end and it says ltt and then the white one
Is more likely to go with your rgb system because it's just white that's true
But especially if you're cable managing behind the back I think it would be really cool to have the orange ones
We actually went through quite a few like it's amazing how hard it is to get something done with china in china
Like it's cheap. Yeah, like it's affordable, but there's a lot of time that you end up spending just to get something
printed that's quality and looks acceptable and arrives on time and is like packaged reasonably nicely and like all this kind of stuff so
We're expecting these to go live
Next few days in the next few days
In the next few days so just to to give context they can't really hear you very well
To give context to like takes a while. I think we tried working with like or we got samples from four different factories
Yeah, and we got like two levels of samples from each and picked like the best one from all of that
Some of them were pretty garbage, but these ones are like actually not usable
But these ones I wouldn't call them the best cable ties i've ever used
But I can't think of anything that's better like they're good
So we were we were comfortable putting the brand on them and they look pretty nice. So yeah. Yeah, I like the orange ones
I would try to get those if I were you guys your orange ones are dope
You're gonna make you're making it hard for us to sell 90 of our inventory luke way to go
I'm, just trying to make people go fast speaking of way to go get either way to go you guys for watching all
Yeah, oh, we don't have a there's no there's no viewer counter on the float plane
real high
Is it it's kind of flirting with the potential limit of that port
that port so
What's the speed of that port, uh, not the speed the maximum connections
Thanks for coming out
all right, uh
Thanks guys. Oh, we didn't do like any super chats or like
Float plane chat. Oh
Lordy, uh, okay
Hey stew. I says speaking of samsung. What do you guys think of recent news? The samsung galaxy gold being priced at 1800 us dollars
It's more specifically what I should have said. I think it's a matter of time
Before the actual smartphone manufacturers the samsungs and apples of the world
I think it's a matter of time before they clue in that third parties are already reselling their phones for six thousand dollars
With goofy skins built into them and just do it themselves. Yes. This is this is happening
Jake asks new tech showdown
I don't think so. I don't think yeah, I don't don't know mape says mary saturday
Because he's australian new zealand new zealand. Yeah
Same thing they don't like
Don't say that mape's cool. They don't like that
Hi thomas
Bear hi musical pumpkin
Um
Okay
Please make a compensator 3.0. We don't even know what we would put in it
It's they they kind of that's not really like a thing anymore really bars
First of all, our average video is basically compensator 17 every time these days and then which is like is great
But then also the idea of compensator doesn't really make sense because they nerfed the heck out of sli
So like it's the the yeah, but they have the pc for the one percent coming soon. Yeah, that's true
Um, he's gonna expand on that it's just apparently not
It's not
It's just a different concept. It's it's great. I like the new concept. It's just the original concept of compensator. It doesn't really
we were basically trying to show that it's really stupid to put four graphics cards in your system and now it's like
You can but they won't really work. Hey, look we were right. I guess we could do it that way. Hi nikal nestiak
Haza gamers the amount of like is so damn high lol
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying how stupid the candy cane ban is
I
Sent 15 bucks for being mad about candy canes getting banned
I can get mad about all kinds of stuff if you guys will pay me
Well, it's not so much getting mad about them as just like you know
What you want to open up these floodgates?
Because like I think nick and luke can tell you I can get real mad about an awful lot of stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
I'm scared
Um
All right, I think that's pretty much it everyone thank you guys for tuning in and we will see you again next week
Same bat time same bat channel. Thanks j-rock
Is that the one who posted in floatplane chat that some people have multiple tabs open just like
Thanks, buddy guys
No, just do whatever
That's fine, it's no problem. I'm just gonna go put the fire out. It's all good. No problem
So
So i'm sorry nick
