Apparently pressing it twice is the key to victory.
Live doesn't work.
Set it live again.
Works perfectly.
Welcome to the WAN Show.
It's going to be awesome this week.
I hope the two Linus faces brought you right into this video.
There is a leak, AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Geekbench leak.
Also a rumor, all the hard facts this week, about Intel going to be slashing prices ahead
of the Ryzen 3000 launch.
Don't worry, Linus is going to be sitting here soon enough.
He's just finishing a video and I'm sitting here, so Luke has a real flesh bag to talk
to.
Yeah.
And he's going to talk to you about Ubuntu dropping 32-bit support, Linux stuff.
Google not making tablets and a bunch of other cool, fun, entertaining things.
Stay around for the intro.
Roll the intro.
The seat represents our lab.
The lab seat.
Oh no.
Oh wait.
This part.
Display.
Yeah.
Display.
P.I.A.
P.I.A.
P.I.A.
P.I.A.
P.I.A.
And I don't know how to funny sound this, but merch is cool and stuff.
Lit store.
Yeah.
Lit store.
Yeah.
I just realized we didn't have someone set up the camera.
But, you know, it works either way.
Let's start with Ubuntu.
Let's leave the juicy Ryzen topics for when Linus is here.
Ubuntu is dropping 32-bit support.
It's all sad and dying dreams, except for most people are on 64-bit anyways.
And I would say the majority of modern apps are running 64-bit.
Not Steam.
Not Steam.
And some other actually fairly mission critical apps for some people.
But it's not the end of the world, because 18.04 long-term support is going to be fine.
It will keep on going, so it'll be okay.
It's future launches that they're talking about.
You're going to have to eventually kind of shove off of the 32-bit system, which is going
to be a problem.
We see, like, when Windows is like, okay, we're not going to support Windows XP anymore,
and we tell you guys, like, six years in advance, and then entire airports have massive problems.
So you don't think this is going to be a big kick in the butt?
Oh, God.
No.
No.
Please.
Please, Linus.
Relieve me.
Do I take my chair, or do I take your chair?
Here, let's do a whole full swap.
Oh, wow.
There you go.
This is awkward.
No, it's your chair.
Oh, lordy.
Put the shirt on.
I have a shirt on.
Oh.
Wait, I got it.
No, do your thing.
Oh, no.
A triple XL.
I can't do it.
All right.
That's fine.
Just, uh, no, I had a medium before.
What happened to it?
I was...
I swear, I was holding a...
Welcome to the organized show.
A medium...
Yeah.
It's on time.
We're wearing the right shirts.
Yeah.
Okay, so Ubuntu is killing future 32-bit support.
Oh, really?
Oh, it's about time.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
Are people mad?
I bet people are mad.
People are probably mad.
One funny thing that isn't going to work is Steam.
Oh.
Kind of weird.
I looked it up, and as far as I can tell, there is no official announcement.
Steam is still 32-bit, isn't it?
I guess, like, it doesn't need more than a 3-point whatever gigs of RAM.
Basically a browser.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
So it, like, doesn't really matter.
I remember...
You know, it's funny, because I remember back when, um...
I remember back when Windows XP x64 was, like, the thing that if you were a sucker for punishment,
you were playing around with, because you were like, well, I got this 64-bit processor.
I'm going to use it.
I definitely ran it at one point, actually.
Not any worse than Vista64, from my perspective, at least from my experience.
And um...
XP64 was one of the operating systems that people would complain about that I just never
had a problem with.
I remember it, I remember noting that Steam was 32-bit only, being like, is this just
part of, like, them, their whole hate-on for Microsoft, or like, what's their deal?
And no, I guess they just didn't feel like it?
Like, is that...
They just never bothered.
Is that how that went down?
And I don't...
As far as I know, there's no official word of them switching, but there's going to be
a long-term support version of Ubuntu that's going to keep supporting 32-bit for quite
a while.
Steam is unlisted right now.
That's why only 300 people are watching.
Why is it unlisted?
I have no idea, but I just set it to public, so uh...
Cool.
Hey!
Hey, welcome everyone else who is uh... who is tuning in now that they're actually getting
a notification.
Sweet.
Um...
Womp womp.
Sorry, I didn't know it was even a thing.
Yep, oh, that's definitely, that's most assuredly a thing.
And while I'm at it, I'm going to check and see if Jake ever uploaded the VOD for that
video that we did earlier.
That's a feature that FlowPlane's probably not going to be getting any time soon.
Unlisted livestreams.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me, Jake, you didn't upload the VOD for that thing we did,
the AK camera.
I didn't.
No, by upload, I meant upload it.
Like live.
Well, now we're, like, we can't, oh my god.
We can't launch it now, like, needed to go up.
Speaking of launching it now, if you're a FlowPlane subscriber, we have an app for you
now.
It's on the Android store.
Look it up.
It's actually really awesome.
It's missing some features.
More features are coming.
Um, but as of right now, for general stuff, it's actually a really good experience.
Check it out.
Okay.
Um...
How you doing?
I'm alright.
How's your day going?
I actually had a pretty rough day today.
It seemed like it before you even got on the show and realized that it was unlisted and
the other video was not pushed.
So FlowPlane.
You've got the FlowPlane.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
We're not in apps.
We're not in apps.
Yeah.
And now it cancels your search.
Okay.
Does it really?
Yeah.
That's unreal, hey?
That's kind of not a great experience.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
There it is.
This app is compatible with some of your devices.
Hey.
I wonder which ones.
Wow.
Just tech reviewer problems.
I thought I had a lot.
Wow.
That's insane.
Is it actually compatible with my Casio smartwatch?
It says no.
Oh, wait.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
They're just all on here.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was going to be pretty impressed, Luke.
Be like, Jaden.
Wow.
Wow.
Just wow.
That's really impressive.
That's pretty good.
I can watch FlowPlane videos on my watch.
You really went all the way out there.
So yeah, we tried to shoot the conclusion for six video editors, one CPU today.
Okay.
So between the long display port cables.
You know it's a...
Just a problem.
Yeah.
They just don't work.
Yeah.
So between long display port cables that don't work and potentially some kind of networking
issue, I'm having a real bad time, real bad time with it.
And so the editing den right now is basically a flying spaghetti monster of USB extension
cables and display port extension cables.
And there's a giant tower in the middle of it.
Yeah.
I will say I walked past it and I was like, that's crazy.
He's going to be late.
The whole thing just looked nuts.
I was like, this can't be good.
And I just got confirmation that I am in fact not in the office on Monday morning.
So I don't know how that's going to get finished because I'm going to Germany next week.
So yeah.
Yeah.
That was pretty rough and I'm apparently going camping this weekend.
So I have no idea how any of that works.
So this is actually sitting in the middle of our editing room right now.
That's the situation.
Hey, but there's RGB though.
Yeah.
And at least everyone on the left side of the frame is wearing the appropriate footwear
to be working with such equipment.
You know what?
Why don't we just do some actual tech news here.
Probably want some tech news.
Let's talk about some tech news.
We did technically start with tech news.
We talked about Ubuntu.
Did you really?
Yeah.
You were here.
Yeah.
We talked about it.
Oh yeah.
Oh, and is that all we've done so far?
That's all we've done so far.
Okay, cool.
We can start from the top.
Yeah.
What's up you guys?
You're not here in the morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had just actually made that discovery myself.
Well, not by myself.
Colton messaged me.
I'm apparently going camping.
So the conclusion of that video is basically on you guys to figure out.
Yay.
We'll have someone host it.
Yes.
Good luck.
Okay.
All right.
And what is it?
Good night and good luck.
Is that how it goes?
Something like that.
Yeah.
I actually really don't know what to do right now because I also just haven't done the hosted
part at the beginning and I should really do that.
So yeah, I can't leave it like that all week, but I can't.
You should get Jake to deep fake your face on someone else.
See?
No, no, no.
He's not talking to you.
Yeah.
He's not talking to you.
So sorry.
What are we doing?
What's the plan?
Guys?
You're having the real behind the scenes experience.
Ed, you might as well come on here.
This.
Yeah.
This is how we make videos.
Okay.
Can we not just disconnect everything?
We can leave all the cables.
We can tuck away.
Leave the cables, tuck away.
Okay.
Take the station and move it.
Take the station and move it.
And then what?
Bring it back next Friday.
Okay.
Okay.
But that doesn't help Jake diagnose it.
How many videos are you expecting from me next week?
Jake's working on the weekend?
No, he's not.
Yeah.
How many videos do you need next week?
Not that many.
How many is not that many?
Because sometimes you say not that many and then you're like eight.
All right.
I'm pulling it out.
Let's look.
Let's look.
All right.
All right.
These conversations are so much more comfortable when you're not actually responsible for any
of it.
Three.
I had three for next week.
You only had us down for three.
And did that assume that we actually hit seven this week?
We hit seven.
Did we hit seven?
Yeah, we hit seven.
I keep telling you, we hit seven.
Oh, so I didn't even need to do that.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Okay.
Okay.
So then as long as I come in on Friday and we shoot the conclusion, then it's all good.
Yep.
Writers will post.
Why don't you guys just leave it in there and then Jake can like-
Fix it and then we'll take that when we can.
Yeah.
And then like on lunch, he can go in, use their workstation tool around with it.
Okay.
Sure.
Okay.
So Jake, one other thing is maybe try the other fiber optic cable, the 25 footer.
Maybe see if that one has compatible transceivers, if that actually is the problem.
You told me there was a 25 footer.
Oh, was that the copper one?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
You should tape down that copper cable so it doesn't get closed in the door again.
Welcome to WAN Show, ladies and gentlemen.
That was awesome.
Oh man.
That was great.
I, yeah, I'm having, I'm having a rough day, but you know what?
Not as rough a day as Intel.
So our big story today is of course from guru3d.com.
There are leaked benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 3800X in Geekbench.
It apparently performs roughly similarly to a Core i9-9900K.
And that is a super terrible situation for our friends over at Intel, courtesy of our
also friends over at AMD.
So not only is this bad because the 3800X is going to be cheaper than a 9900K.
It's actually amazing.
It's just bad for Intel.
Yeah, yeah.
Bad for Intel.
Good for everything else.
Is there anyone else this is bad for, Intel shareholders?
Okay.
But I would bundle them in as like Intel.
Intel fanboys.
Whatever.
They don't count.
They're people.
Okay.
Fanboys are people too.
I disagree.
They are not people.
Okay.
So anyway, so this is bad news for Intel because not only is the 3800X cheaper than a 9900K,
it isn't even the top of AMD's lineup.
Let that sink in for a minute.
That's pretty dirty.
So the 3800X has a base clock of 3.8 and boost of up to 4.5.
From the look of things, memory was not configured correctly at only 2133 megahertz.
And the test platform had a 3800X with an X470 board instead of an X570 board.
So it wasn't even on the optimal chipset for this CPU.
Now that's not to say that we expect a chipset change to make an enormous difference to performance.
It's just that the X570 chipset does have support for PCI Express Gen 4, so it will
have performance advantages if you have components that leverage that.
And the word on the street is that the X570 boards that are coming out have, in terms
of ASUS's ROG boards anyway, much better optimized memory traces.
And they said there were some other secret sauce they wouldn't tell me because they didn't
want people to copy it, which could result in higher memory speeds, which would have
a performance impact.
So we're not saying that it's a bad situation now.
We're just saying that if they were running on an ROG board that's an X570, it could be
quite a bit faster.
So yeah.
One thing is that in single-threaded, as you might expect, 9900K is still a little bit
faster.
Okay, yeah, that's with faster memory.
Okay.
There was apparently a situation where it was like 14% better on a single-thread, on
a singular-thread.
But that was with faster memory on the 9900K.
That was with faster memory, yeah.
Oh boy.
So in response, Intel is possibly going to slash some prices.
This is a rumor.
The previous one was a leak.
We're dealing with a lot of not the absolutely most reliable information here, but they all
seem kind of realistic.
So I mean, if I was Intel, that would pretty much be what I was doing.
I think their shortages are mostly resolved at this point, so yeah, they're a lot better
now than they were Q4 last year.
Would you say resolved?
No, resolved was the wrong word.
Improved?
Yeah.
Let's go with less bad.
Less bad.
Let's go with less bad.
Yeah.
I mean, if there wasn't competition, I don't think they're at the point where they would
be cutting pricing.
But to me, this is really less of an indication that Intel is, you know, that their supply
is better and more of an indication that they think in order to sell the supply that they
have, that's the pricing that they think they need to be at.
So the thing about chip manufacturing is you don't like, it's not like hand making, you
know, designer wallets on Etsy or something where, you know, if you get an order for 10,
you can be like, oh, well, I'll just make 10 this week.
And then if you get an order for one, you can be like, that's chill.
I'll go do something else.
It's not like that ramping production up and down is an enormous undertaking.
So it's actually far better.
I mean, that's where you end up with like, you know, flash or memory manufacturers selling
DRAM and selling NAND flash at a loss because you are better off just slashing your prices
like it's a commodity and ignoring your costs than you are turning off a fab.
Like you lose less, if that makes sense.
Losing 10%, making stuff and then selling it at a 10% loss is less harmful than just
shutting down the fab, which is sort of crazy.
So Intel is not going to adjust their production in all likelihood, I don't have confirmation
on that.
They're just going to slash their pricing so that they can keep moving the same volume
because that keeps the machine operating smoother.
Sidebar thing, I would love to see a skit with Hipster Linus making Etsy products.
Oh man.
I only got one order for a wallet.
That's chill.
I'll just like, I'll do something else, you know?
It's fine.
I'll design a new Etsy product.
You'll make some videos.
I'll go make some videos.
My Etsy store would be full of like the stupidest stuff.
Oh man.
I mean, you guys have seen me try and do arts and crafts, Tech Showdown was not a popular
series for us.
Have we done our long term?
It did not as bad as you might expect.
It didn't do great, but I think some of them did better than we than we thought.
They had a little bit more of a tail than I expected.
Have we done our sponsor spots?
We've done the intro.
We have not done our sponsor spots.
We haven't been live very long though.
All right.
It doesn't matter.
Displate.
LMG.GG slash Displate when Displate is the artwork you can hang on your wall.
It's made of metal, but that won't cut you.
They're durable.
You don't need any power tools to mount a Displate art piece.
They've got over a quarter a million different arts spanning a bunch of different styles
and influences and with their easy magnetic mounting, there's no holes in the wall.
It's easy to straighten out if anything goes wrong and they're replaceable.
They plant 10 trees for every Displate sold.
So head to LMG.GG slash Displate when and use code LTT to save 15% today.
Also sponsoring the show today is Private Internet Access.
PIA.
You get support for a variety of VPN protocols and types of encryption and authentication
allowing you to dial in exactly the level of privacy protection that you need.
They've got apps for Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, Linux, and Google Chrome with support
for several other platforms coming.
And you can connect up to five devices at once on a single account.
Their apps include DNS leak protection and IPv6 leak protection and their internet kill
switch will block all traffic if the VPN becomes disconnected unexpectedly.
Check it out today at LMG.GG slash PIA WAN.
Finally, the Linus Tech Tips store, grab a shirt, grab a hoodie, grab a water bottle,
cable ties at LMG.GG slash WAN LTT store.
I think the water bottles are restocked now.
So Peter bought one.
Yes.
We have lots of them.
Sick.
Yeah.
I would have just given him one.
I know.
I told him that.
Okay.
Yeah.
But he got one and he received it.
That was cool.
Yeah.
He likes it.
The system works.
Yeah.
It's good.
We actually have some, we actually have some new merge pictures.
Oh.
Okay.
I'm, I was the photographer for them.
So I'm just going to go ahead.
I'm going to pull this up and share it with you.
This is that.
Okay.
So this is a teaser for an upcoming video.
I don't want to say too much because I don't know what's public.
Yeah.
Very little is public actually.
This is going to be a pretty fantastic video.
So I'm just going to pull this up.
So basically Brandon gets pretty triggered every time someone messages him on Twitter
and is like, I want to be a great photographer.
What camera should I buy?
And he's like, all right.
So it's hard to give you the right answer when you're asking the wrong question because
becoming a photographer is about developing a style, learning the fundamentals, you know,
understanding the correct way to take a photo so that you can push the boundaries and experiment
with the art form.
Note that I didn't say anything about your camera.
Okay.
Another way to trigger Brandon.
Show him one of those keynotes for a cell phone launch where they say, take DSLR like
photos with your phone.
Yeah.
He'll be like, no, that's just actually not how that works.
So on the one hand, Brandon gets triggered if you ask him which camera to buy to make
you a better photographer.
But on the other hand, he gets triggered if you tell him that a phone is just as good
as a real camera.
So this is great.
Brandon actually came up with the idea and we got in a camera that he was really excited
to play around with 51 megapixels.
Is it 51.4 megapixels?
So this is the Fujifilm GFX 50R.
So crazy camera, like crazy camera to the point where I'm sure people out there would
think, wow, with a camera like that in my hands, I could be a photographer, no problem.
And so what he came up with was, we weren't really sure how to like make a video about
a product like that because it's a medium format camera, which is really designed for
a certain type of work.
Like it's a tool designed for a certain type of job.
You'd say high fashion photography, anything that you were to photograph that you would
expect to print the size of, you know, the side of a building you would capture with
a camera like that.
Like the level of detail that it can capture is incredible.
And I kind of forget where I'm going with this very roundly story, but long story short,
Brandon and I were talking and he kind of pitches me this crazy idea and he goes, how
about this?
We do a photography challenge, but we take an inexperienced photographer and I am at
best an inexperienced photographer.
I think that's generous.
We take an inexperienced photographer, we arm them with the GFX 50R, and then we put
them up against an experienced photographer with a smartphone.
And we resolve once and for all, does a smartphone hold up against a real camera?
And once and for all, does an amazing camera turn you into a photographer if you're just
some random scrub?
I love part of this concept because you're basically making him fight against himself.
Because if he does too good of a job.
So Brandon with a Pixel 3 versus me with a Fujifilm GFX 50R.
Now I'm not going to share a ton of this with you, but I just want to show you guys one
of my photos.
Some of them are just far too spoilery, but I feel like this needs to be on the store
at some point, okay?
I mean, it's wonderful.
Oh, it's not.
It was just loading.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I mean, the highlights are a little, a little blown out on that one.
Yeah.
Part of his face is like actually just pure white.
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean, it is Colton though.
In fairness to me.
Yeah.
Like you shine a light at Colton.
The guy's pretty white.
Does he have bottoms on at all?
No, no, no.
He doesn't have pants on.
My understanding is that he was wearing underwear, but it's possible he wasn't.
I have no way of verifying that he was in fact wearing underwear.
Okay.
Anyway, guys, look forward to this video.
If nothing else, it's going to be a ton of fun.
If nothing else, seeing Colton with no pants on, 10 out of 10.
And there's, there's, there's far, there's, there's far worse.
Oh no.
I'm sorry guys.
I really can't show this to you guys because it's going to be such a moment in the video,
but make sure you don't miss the photography challenge.
I'm actually very proud of this photo.
Oh my God.
That's amazing.
You guys need to put that on a wall.
So okay.
Okay.
All right.
Just cause it's so awkward.
It's it's pretty, it's pretty out there.
So have you seen that one?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
He's seen, he's seen all of it.
He's seen all of it.
So guys, I mean, should I, you know what I will give you, I will give you one small spoiler.
That's really close.
Like this does not end up being a blowout.
So no matter what you think, no matter what preconceived notions you come into this video
with, you're right.
All right.
Um, Oh, people are so mad in chat.
I'm so me not showing them any of those pictures guys.
It's like, actually, I really can't.
I really can't.
Yeah.
I really can't show you.
I did show you.
It's like if we showed the benchmarks for every benchmarking video on wanjo before the
video came out.
Yeah.
It is actually pretty much exactly like that.
It's a problem.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, what else we got for news?
Crazy stuff.
Google done making tablets.
That's not crazy.
It's crazy that they ever thought three people cried and no one else cared.
It does suck because competition reasons.
Yeah.
I saw it.
So I stole that from Marquez cause he made a tweet about that.
It's very valid.
Outside of that, I don't care.
Were they competition, but who else was, but were they competition?
Not really, but it would have been nice if they stayed in it and like actually literally
no one was competition.
The iPad stands alone as the tablet and it has for a long time.
Like the thing is I'm an Android, I'm even an Android user.
Like you'll, you'll probably my Android phone from my cold dead fingers, but Android is
so poorly optimized as a tablet experience.
What annoys me too is Android in tablet mode looks beautiful and sucks.
I don't know.
It's annoying.
Anyways.
Yeah.
That's basically all we have to say about that.
Um, really?
We can't give any details.
Google is no longer planning to make any tablet hardware going forward and we'll put all resources
behind laptops in the future.
Chrome OS.
Chrome OS is the future.
Google had two smaller tablets in the works.
Both have been canceled.
Pixel slate was Google's first Chrome OS tablet, but it worked best when docked with a keyboard
and track pad, also known as a laptop.
Yeah.
So yeah, they're not doing the tablets anymore, but Chrome OS is not canceled.
Okay.
I mean, you know, the thing about Chrome OS is like I make a face whenever we talk about
Chrome OS because it's simply not suitable for me, but there's a lot of people that Chrome
OS could make sense for.
The only issue right now is that it has to be cheap at the same price.
I'll take windows.
I'd take Mac OS at the same price, but as long as Chrome OS keeps showing up on super
cheap devices, then I guess, but as Microsoft continues to march toward windows as a service
and making all their money off of like Xbox subscriptions that people are running on windows,
wind, I, you know what?
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to call it within the next, how many years am I going to give myself here?
Oh, do I go aggressive or do I, do I go conservative?
I would be considering the quality of some of the call outs that have been made on Wanshow.
I'm going to do it.
You're going to do it.
I'm going to go aggressive.
I was going to say go kind of middle line.
Three years.
Windows is free.
Three years.
Yeah.
Okay.
I kind of knew where you were going and I was kind of thinking five, but I was going
to say five.
Yeah.
You know what?
No, I'm going aggressive.
I'll tell you what, tell you what, here's how I hedge my bets.
I predict I, line of Sebastian on this, the 21st day of June, 2019 predict that windows
will be free to install, well, it will be announced that when I've got a free version
of windows is at least coming by three years from today there, it will at least be announced
even if it's not quite available.
I don't want to lose on a technicality like it's coming in the fall or something stupid
like that.
That's it.
And the reason I call the reason I call three years is that we're going to be a couple of
years into the new generation of X-Boxes.
I think that's going to be one of the ways that Microsoft is willing to monetize windows
without actually charging for licenses.
And once windows is free, I think Google has a problem for Chrome OS.
Why, why do I use Chrome OS at that point?
Okay.
Maybe it's power efficient, but windows for arm also exists now.
And there are devices that you can buy now if you're determined enough and you're crazy
enough.
Um, so I mean, yeah, I guess there's the app store.
Like if you're running on arm, the Android play store is probably quite competitive.
Hard to say.
Yeah.
When's our windows store float plane app coming?
He's got it open now.
I'm teasing.
I'm teasing.
I am going to grill you on stream though.
I am going to, I am going to grill you right now.
When is float plane launching, define, define launching more creators, more, more creators.
So we have alpha into beta beta beta beta.
We're calling it beta.
When we bring on more creators, we're just calling that beta because we don't really
have like a, we're calling that beta.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um, so LTX is kind of the goal.
We had a meeting about it today.
The full plane crew had a meeting about it today.
I asked everybody, we've got a deadline that is technically before LTX, but we have to
finish before then so we can actually get creators on.
I'm not going to say when that is.
Um, and I was like, does anyone for any discernible reason think they can't be done in time?
And it was just pure silence.
Okay.
And right before then, uh, one of the members of the team said their part would be done
by this coming Friday conservatively, which is notably ahead of the deadline.
There are some problems like one of them, I'm not going to name the company right now,
but who I'm seething that email you saw at the C word is now 32 emails long and we still
don't have a solution because they just won't do it so far.
No.
The first email went out really, really early last Friday.
It's technically been over seven days worth of 24 hour periods.
Not really cause it's not Saturday yet, but technically cause it was sent so early on
Friday.
It's been over seven days.
Um, and it is for any tier.
We're on a high tier and I'm going to say because it would give it away too easily,
but on any tier it's supposed to take roughly three days to do.
So it's been over seven days so far and it's three working days.
So if they don't do it today, which I still don't have an email and it is now six oh eight
PM Pacific probably gone, probably gone for the day.
Probably not going to do it on the weekend.
So it's probably not gonna be done until Wednesday, which is almost two weeks from when we first
asked for it.
And I am upset.
He spaghetti.
And we need that for the launch of beta.
Yeah.
Okay.
So everything else is on track and we are currently being blocked by an external company.
We're being C blocked.
Yes.
Uh, in other news, Simone Geertz built her own Tesla truck.
Yeah.
Super cool.
So the source here is obviously her channel, but I'm not going to show you much of it because
you should go watch it.
Go give reviews there.
That's all you get to see.
Yeah.
Go watch it.
Go watch it later.
She has like the commercial for it, which is really cool and kind of fun and stuff.
But then she also has a video about like she goes and buys the car and then she drives
around for a little bit and then they, they modify it and she pulls in a bunch of friends
and it's, it's really cool.
Um, so this, yeah, the team essentially, I mean, okay, to be clear, like they didn't
scratch build a Tesla truck.
They basically hacked the back off of a model three, uh, getting rid of the back passenger
seats to make room for a DIY truck bed.
So like, and a full sheet of wood pallet rack thing at the top.
Not palette.
Uh, I don't remember what to call it.
An 80 by whatever sheet of plywood, an eight by four, eight by four.
Is that right?
That's what a standard sheet of plywood is.
Okay, sure.
That maybe I'm thinking inches or some, I don't know.
Either way, that thing fits on the rails on top of the truck properly because it was like
one inch away from fitting in the bed, but they couldn't do it.
So mount it up top now.
It's really cool.
My back hurts.
I'm fine though.
So does mine, but I'm sure for a complete, yes, I got Yvonne into it.
I saw.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, she's like, she woke up the next day.
She was like, I was like dreaming about settlement layouts.
It's like so addictive.
I've been, I've been playing cross code.
Oh yeah.
I played it on stream for probably like two, two and a half hours.
I don't know if I'm going to keep streaming it.
It's not a very, no, because you really actually need to focus, especially when you're doing
the puzzles in the dungeons.
Like they're not, the way they introduce game mechanics is not perfect.
They introduce a new mechanic by basically plunking you in a room where that's the one
thing that you need to like learn.
But that's been, I'm not that far, obviously it's really long game and I was taking my
time with certain things.
Like I, I noticed in like the first area there's some jumping puzzle things to find special
loot things.
And I'm like, well, I'm getting these, which is also not that entertaining for the stream.
But I was like, I don't care because I'm having fun.
And then I found this one thing that's like, you need a key and you should backtrack to
find it.
I'm like, well, I'm finding that key and I have no idea where it is.
You just need to like play the game and then you can go back like in 15 or 15 to 20 hours.
Okay.
Is that right?
No.
Okay.
Also, if you try to get every, every item, you will actually just snap your controller
in half in frustration.
So I'm sure I'm super easy mode right now.
So far I've gotten all of them except for the one that I need the key for.
But I'm again, I'm in literally the starting area.
So yeah, that's really hard.
I'm sure.
Have you done all the quests in the, the starting harbor?
I've done all but one.
Have you done the one where there's like a, you need to find this thing.
A smuggler.
Oh no, no, I haven't done all the quests in the starting harbor.
I did.
That one's a real piss off.
Good to know, but yeah, it's, it's fun.
I like it a lot.
Actually.
It feels probably exactly how it should feel.
Yep.
Um, I died once, but I died cause I was an idiot and when I died I was like, yup, I'm
an idiot.
You'll die more.
Okay.
No, I'm sure.
I like, there was a corner and I'm used to modern games where if you did like a dodge
spin and you hit a corner, it would just like move you around it.
Yeah.
This one's like, nah.
Nope.
So I spun into it all three times and then was like, oh.
And now you can't move.
I guess I'm dead.
Uh, but yeah, it was, it was really fun.
Um, and I'm down for that.
One more piece of actual news.
IOS 13 will remind you to cancel your subscription when you delete an app if it is managed through
the iOS store thing.
That's pretty sick.
It is.
Yeah.
Cause like it is so easy.
Like I don't, I don't look that closely at my credit card bill for anything that doesn't
stand out.
Yeah.
Like something that's like, it's like a couple bucks, two bucks, you're not going to think
about it.
I, and it's like a weird company.
Like I might think, oh, I just, who knows?
Right.
And there's a ton of things that you just use a credit card for.
Um, and you know, my, like I travel a lot, so maybe it was a, I don't know, maybe it
was a tip at a restaurant.
Like I don't know if it's like three or four dollars.
Like you never know, but it's a pack of gum, but it's, it's, it's not like, you know, 50
bucks and I'm like, whoa, what is that?
So it's so easy for these little tiny things to kind of get overlooked for months at a
time.
And while the app maker is just collecting that recurring revenue.
So it's really cool that Apple has taken it upon themselves to remind users to cancel
their subscription because really like this is a good move.
You might remember to cancel your subscription.
If you see the little icon there all the time and like you might not want to bother cause
it's like annoying.
But then eventually if you're going to go and uninstall the app, you might jump into
it and cancel yourself.
But if you uninstall the app without thinking about it, you're very unlikely to look into
canceling yourself in the future.
Play store apparently does it already according to, uh, Yugi Satan actually didn't know about
that.
I actually have very many never subscribed through an app.
Me neither.
I don't.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to think if there's anything that I have in app purchased.
Everything that I was subscribed to personally is through a browser.
By the way, someone, uh, I'm going to respond to your review, but someone reviewed during
the WAN show the app and said it would be great if there's notifications.
There are notifications.
We just don't have a, uh, like account control dashboard thing.
So if you, I know it's coming, don't worry about it.
There's some other stuff coming first, but if you go on the website and turn on notifications,
you will get them in the app.
I have a really crazy idea.
Oh boy.
So we, we missed our upload window spot for that.
Um, reassembling the red eight K camera video.
Okay.
I think I'm going to add, yeah, we missed our upload slot for the red eight K camera
reassembly video.
What do you think of having one of the editors?
Like instead of just uploading it as a stream archive, why don't we cut it and like make
it better for like, uh, for later, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you think there's any value to that?
Some, I was actually reading the comments and some people did ask for that.
So people that worthwhile.
Yeah.
So if we do a TLDR version and then we can just leave the full stream unlisted, throw
it in the video description.
If people want to see the whole thing, that sounds sweet.
I would want that as a viewer.
Yeah.
And that saves us, um, saves us a video.
Yeah.
You just generated a whole video.
It's double dipping a little, I think, but I, I, I'm, you know what, I'm letting it,
I'm letting it slide.
It's like a real life exploit.
Um, what's the name of the game Luke enjoyed?
Oh, he was.
He's playing cross code.
Yeah.
I played it.
I played it through over the last few months.
Really, really enjoyed it.
I think it's going to take me a long time cause I'm a little completionisty about things.
Don't.
I know.
Trust me.
Just don't.
I can let go of it eventually, but when I first started a game, I'm usually kind of
that way.
Don't.
Just let it go now.
It's like some of them are really hard.
Like so the, it has this jumping puzzle mechanic where it's, which is kind of hard and I think
would be easier on a controller.
Um, maybe.
Yeah.
Cause doing the angled jumps is kind of hard on a keyboard.
But the hard part sometimes is just finding where to get to it.
And a lot of the time, like you'll go seven or eight screens over.
So it's like, it's a 2d sprite based RPG.
So it has like screens for the, for the map that you kind of move over.
Um, so you'll go eight or nine screens over and you'll find the point where you can get
up on the ledge and then you have to like make your way all the way back there.
So it, and I'll, I, I will criticize this particular aspect of the game.
Most of the time what you find is crap that you don't need.
Yeah.
It's like the little loot box things I've opened is like, Oh, okay.
It's like some items that you could just thrash some hedgehags and then just go by or just
not by because honestly I barely used items other than like sandwiches for health recovery
at all.
There were a couple of bosses where I was like, okay, I need a DPS boost right now cause
this sucks.
But that was it.
Yeah.
Um, we're going to say, yeah, the one thing that I don't like to be honest and it's going
to take me a little while to get used to is the like two and a half D nature of the game
or sometimes like I can't really tell if another platform is higher or lower than mine.
It takes some scenarios you can, you do get the hang of it and I'm assuming I will eventually
get the hang of it.
The other thing that I did learn was if I just shoot it depending on seeing where the
projectile hits can sometimes tell me.
Yep.
Um, and like there's, but that, that has been a little frustrating so far.
There's been some jumps where I'm like, yeah, I can make this jump and then I jumped and
I just hit the wall and fall and I'm like, Oh, it was too high.
Okay.
Did we talk about L T X?
Um, no.
Do I have, you know, Oh, we should do, if there's a blog post, we should definitely
uh, go through it.
Did they put the, no, no, it's not there.
Wait, where's the map?
I saw Colton a minute ago.
Yeah.
Cause we finalized the floor plan.
Hey Colton, are you around?
Oh, he's gone.
That's right.
It was worth a shot.
The map was cool.
It was here last week.
Did you guys talk about it last week?
You were on the show, dude.
Yes we did.
You and I talked about it.
Did we, did we show it?
We showed it.
Yeah.
Okay.
We couldn't zoom in far enough to like show what each booth name was, but people were
able to see the layout.
People could see where the BRC section was, exactly where the main stage was, all that
fun stuff.
We did so many like crazy videos in the last little bit.
The edit is almost done for the slow-mo does to 40 Hertz matter.
Okay.
That's cool.
Um, we can probably talk about it a little bit actually, cause there's like, there's
so much to this video that I feel like I'm not really spoiling anything by showing you
guys some stuff from it.
Hey, Ed.
Ed, are you around?
Yes.
Um, what's the file format for the, um, the images for the two 40 Hertz monitor video.
Are they just PNGs?
Like, is it something I can open here and are they just an L roll or no, I don't have
Photoshop on this thing.
All right.
Uh, well the images are PNGs.
The things with graphics are PSDs.
Uh, Oh, okay, cool.
So if I fire this up, is this the hitbox ones or the hit marker ones?
I think people have figured out that if they review the app right now, I get a notification.
I think these are just, uh, my phone's blowing up.
Oh, are these the screenshots of like the shot though?
Yeah.
So this is every shot I took.
Cool.
Okay.
Okay.
Neat.
And is this how many frames in we were from first, uh, from first pixel guarantee that.
Okay.
So let's talk about, let's talk about this a bit.
This is really cool.
Let me save the thing.
Uh, save what thing?
No, it's okay.
I think it's all right.
Okay.
So this is cool.
So, um, what we're looking through right now is a gallery of Ed freeze framing.
So we're shooting at a thousand frames per second on a Phantom camera and Ed is freeze
framing and cat is capturing the frame where I pull the trigger.
Okay.
So this is where I take my shot.
Remember guys.
Yeah.
Obviously I'm pretty far off the mark here.
Um, like I, yeah, I missed, but no, no, I'm saying how, how he could tell when you pull
the trigger.
Oh no, that's not how he can tell.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's fine.
It's just really easy to tell cause it's at a thousand frames per second and every frame
is like crystal clear.
It's so sharp.
It looks like a still image.
In CS go when they can't hear you, you have to come over here, mostly talk to you guys,
but in CS go when you shoot, um, when you're scoped in, it actually freezes for like two
or three frames.
So it's like move, move, move and it stops and the recall happens.
Yeah.
Oh, that's how you could tell.
Okay.
Cool.
So basically what we're looking at is at 60 Hertz versus 240 Hertz where I took my shot.
So this guy right here jumps out from around this corner or runs out from around this corner.
Now he's holding a knife, but he's actually not running at full knife speed.
It's about 80%.
Um, so here's, here's my first shot.
That one I got him.
So this is probably the next run now.
Yeah, this is at 558 milliseconds ish and then 858 milliseconds.
So it took me about a third of a second to take my second shot.
Okay.
Yeah.
This is a new run.
So this is, yeah.
Run two shot, run two shot one I missed.
Run two shot two.
I think that was actually a miss.
Really?
I don't, yeah.
I don't think I got him on that one.
Um, Nope.
Wait, that looks like it was probably a hit.
Remember too, that there's issues with hit detection in the game.
So we are capturing not necessarily location in the hitbox location.
We're capturing how well our gamer managed to click on the target.
So if the, if the hitbox is off and it registers as a miss, we're not penalizing our gamer
for that because that doesn't tell us anything valuable about how well people can aim at
60 versus 240 years.
More game knowledge.
Okay.
So here's run three shot one.
Uh, that, that was a miss by the way.
It looks like it's just over his, uh, let me just, there's a touch screen.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
So that was pretty close.
Um, and then this is my second shot that ended up being a hit, I believe.
Okay.
So that's all at 60 Hertz.
So now we're at 240.
You guys supposed to be trying to pull headshots cause you're, you're mostly, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying.
I, well, I don't know if Ed, did you try it for a headshot every time?
Uh, I didn't consciously try.
Not consciously.
Okay.
Actually.
So I missed them.
I think all my 60 Hertz shots.
Yeah.
Well, the results are going to be really interesting because wow, the big, no, no, it's fine.
It's fine.
Cause this honestly, this video is fascinating regardless of how much I try to spoil, uh,
because one of the most, one of the biggest takeaways was how differently everyone aimed.
So we'd love to have a much bigger sample size because check this out.
Oh wait, are we frozen?
We're back.
So check this out.
You guys.
That was weird.
OBS froze.
So just so you guys know, that was OBS.
Don't blame float plane, please.
You guys should get, I know like, um, just a different computer.
Oh yeah.
I'm not even talking about that though.
Get, get like Logitech to work with you guys and bring in the C nine team.
Yeah, we'd love to, we'd love to do it again with pro gamers.
That's fine.
They're still pro gamers.
They're still on a completely different level from us.
All right.
So anyway, let's, let's look at this so much.
So my first two 40 Hertz shot, you can see I actually took me almost a second.
What's funny is my first one was really fast at 60 Hertz.
I mean I took my second shot.
No, this is round one.
No, this is run one shot one.
Uh, so that's like similar.
So I'm not even going any faster.
Also I think, uh, here we go.
Not even going any faster.
Um, but what's really interesting is these are all headshots.
One, two, three, those were all hits.
So the way that I line up my shots, I'm actually, so remember when we played the, uh, pub G
and I was playing for the first time we got chicken dinner on our first game.
I think we got two chicken dinners that night, didn't we?
We uh, yes.
And we only played three games, I think four, four games.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, so usually one gap between the wind.
So I was, I was being really hard on myself because I like didn't know what ammo when
in any of the guns.
I don't know the maps.
I don't know any of the mechanics of the game.
Like I felt like a complete idiot, but it didn't really matter.
You were telling me I was helpful and I was like, yeah, I don't feel that helpful.
But then what the one thing that I was doing was I was dealing damage from far away.
And when I was watching the way that I aim at a thousand frames per second, it makes
so much sense.
So I'm a good shot, but not in close quarters.
I aim like a sniper no matter what I'm doing.
So what I'll try to do is I will try, I will watch my target.
I will watch for an opportunity because I have this mindset in the back of my mind,
even when I'm not thinking about it, that every time I pull the trigger, I'm giving
them an opportunity to find me.
So I tend not to pull the trigger any more than I have to compared to Ed who he's just
like, there it is, there's a flick.
He'll try to just go for the flick shot, flick shot kill.
Then he's like tracking it bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
He's just pulling the trigger as often as he can.
You're doing like two per run.
Whereas I got no more than two shots out per run.
I think three was my max, wasn't it?
Like barely did I do four and that, but one was into the wall where he went out.
So I was like, I'm like, go, go.
So my accuracy or precision accuracy is a accuracy.
My accuracy was actually no different at 60 versus 240 Hertz, but my kill times were actually
lower.
So this is only 651 milliseconds.
This one's nine to five.
This one's here.
So my average kill time was actually lower and my kill consistency was higher.
At higher frame rates, refresh rate.
But if you look at my actual spread, yeah, it's like pretty freaking consistent.
Pretty consistent.
Yeah.
Cause in those games in PUBG, I remember relatively early on, we figured just give you a sniper
and you can spot people.
And then we started realizing that give you a sniper and then they're all at half HP when
we fight them.
Well, that's pretty neat.
That's kind of nice.
So this is cool.
This is Ed at 60 Hertz.
So that's his first shot.
Like way off.
Way off.
Okay.
So he managed to hit him here.
I think.
No, he missed.
Nevermind.
So that's a near miss.
But you got to scroll down.
We can't see the cross.
That's the cross.
Isn't it?
No.
Oh, whoops.
Way down here.
Sorry.
Oh, no, that's a body shot.
Body shot.
But we were going for the head.
So that's a miss.
We were running at 2.4 sensitivity because Linus thought that the 1.4 was too slow.
Okay.
So we were running at more like my preferred mouse sensitivity.
Why don't you guys just have different?
Because we wanted the only variable to be refresh rate and gamer.
Okay.
But, okay.
All right.
I sort of hear you, but if he's used to slower.
We had practice runs.
Okay.
So it's still, it's a bit, it's a bit Ed agreed with the methodology.
You agreed to it.
Yeah.
So now the ship has sailed.
So anyway, so if you look through here, whoops.
Oh, that was weird.
Oh yeah.
That was weird.
So these are all 60 Hertz runs and you can see he's like kind of all over the place compared
to my shots.
But watch this.
This is his 240 Hertz results.
Oh my God.
So the way, the way this is all on the head, the way that Ed aims when we watch his movements
is so different from the way that I aim that the way that 240 Hertz benefits him ends up
being completely different from the way it benefits me because I am going to watch for
my target to move in a consistent manner.
I'm going to track them and pull the trigger when I'm ready.
So it took me longer at 60 Hertz to do that.
So you're going to be able to start those processes a little bit faster.
And it makes it easier for, because the animation is smoother, it makes it easier for me to
track it.
And Ed, because he's trying to flick across it, he's actually got two moving things that
he's watching.
He's got his crosshair and he's got the target and he's trying to kind of like line them
up.
The more data you can get into his brain, the better the chance that he's going to make
that, make that shot.
And when he doesn't have it, he's like, what year is it?
All over the place.
And then Gav, Gav from Slow Mo Guys, he was fascinating too, but I'm not going to spoil
any of that right now.
But it is an utterly riveting video.
Really it was a lot of fun.
You guys should, maybe not this year because we're like legit running out of time, but
it'd be really cool if you guys did like an aiming workshop at LTX.
An aiming workshop?
So you like do this with people at LTX and like show them how they, I don't think we
could get it in time.
No, this doesn't sound like a 2019 thing.
This sounds like something where we'd have to really give some thought to the layout
of the booth.
Like we'd have to have like a few stations and a few phantoms and like operators who
are trained on how to do it.
And like you'd have to kind of come back in an hour or something and do your, so we could
actually do analysis of your aiming style.
This is another where like, I don't know necessarily who, but it'd be cool if you worked with a,
like a pro team and have the pro team break down people's, hell yeah, that'd be really
cool.
Best aimer, best FPS player of all time, IMO.
Um, because Ed's not on the mic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
We should probably do some super chats and I think that's pretty much it for the show
today guys.
Um, other side guy says your thoughts on Google Stadia and other streaming services silently
killing off mod development and mod installation due to no obvious file access, meaning mods
that can, meaning mods can't be made or used.
Um, yeah, you know what?
It's just one of the disadvantages of moving gaming into the cloud.
So disadvantage number one is of course latency.
That's the most obvious one.
Knowledge number two is a super, Oh yeah, right.
That you are relying not just on the game service, but also the streaming service in
order to continue to have access to your games in some situations.
And we're already running into that a lot.
Like there's a ton of games out there that, uh, you know, when it first started happening,
I think people didn't think it was a big deal.
This transition from dedicated servers that are self hosted by gamers to community servers
that are hosted instead by the game developer.
Um, when it first started happening, it didn't seem like a big deal because every game was
still playable.
But as those ones with developer hosted servers have started to disappear, there's like entire,
there's huge gaps in the history of gaming that simply cannot be experienced anymore.
Um, and there's some teams that have worked really hard to fill those gaps, but it's not
going to be possible with everything.
That's right.
Um, due to, due to various reasons and the stuff that it is possible for, you're going
to have to have a team of people or at least one really dedicated person who are dedicated
enough to work through all of that stuff to force it to actually function or a developer
slash publisher that is willing to allow it like, um, which has happened like supreme
commander.
Um, so yeah, that's, that's yet another problem.
And then problem number three is, yeah, yeah, modding.
I think it's, uh, it's going to be okay.
It's going to be a problem, but I also think it's not going to be as big a problem as those
other things are because quite frankly, the type of people who are willing to settle for
a stadia like experience, um, with respect to latency and with respect to not owning
the software that they buy, um, we're unlikely to start digging around in config files and
uh, downloading texture packs.
Now with that said, modding is a lot simpler these days than it used to be thanks to innovations
like the steam workshop, um, but I just don't see it being as big of an issue compared to
those other two.
Um, just cause I think it's kind of a different customer and we're going to have a really
long overlap between cloud gaming and local gaming just because game developers want the
largest possible install base for their software.
Um, so yeah, I think it's going to be a big problem.
I just, I don't think it's a problem yet and I don't have a solution.
Yeah.
Uh, other side guy, where is the tech yes.
Loving for our boy Brian from Tech Yes City, um, LTX invite.
So part of the problem with inviting everyone is that, um, flights and accommodations are
really expensive.
And part of the problem with including people from way, way overseas is that those flights
are particularly expensive.
Um, so there was no real, like there's no real discrimination.
People who reached out to us early on, got budget and people who didn't, uh, didn't in
some cases like, uh, I will say hardware connects has made a huge effort to be there.
They were really late getting back to us, but they ended up agreeing to split the cost
with us so that they could be there.
Um, so that, you know, allowed us to work around our budgetary constraints.
We did have to stretch a little bit for them, but they kicked in so that that's how they're
able to be there.
Like we've, we've worked with people to make it as easy as possible to have as many creators
that are as possible, but we can't have everyone.
Also I did meet with Brian at CombiTechs.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Uh, Js did not get sick.
Use super chats to support frequent geek question mark.
Um, no, I think we, we called out people to, uh, to support free geek directly last week.
That was sort of the strat.
Um, Simon loved the land show and float plane for iOS.
It's coming.
Yeah.
It's actually, it's been developed in parallel with the Android app.
It's just taking longer to get app store.
There's some, there's a massive amount more hurdles you have to jump to get on app store.
Not this time says, do you recommend Linux?
Uh, it depends what you're doing, but yeah.
If you're a video editor, probably not.
If you're like going to browse the internet.
Why not?
Oh yeah.
Speaking of OSs, I'd take over Chrome OS.
Linux.
Yeah.
If I have to learn something anyway, yeah.
Dane says last week my $5 chat was not read.
I said, take this $5 and throw it on the street.
Just toss it there and make that $10 now.
Thanks.
Okay.
Okay.
Specifically you, Luke.
Apparently.
Oh, um, yeah.
Or you could just buy food instead of throwing it on the street, especially cause I wasn't
going to pass that super chat through to you anyway.
Yeah.
Not really how it works.
Yeah.
Um, Borna says, how do you use a VPN to give you money from Croatia PS please float plane
for Android TV app.
Oh, it's, there's, there's so much, one of the things about making like a modern video
playing app or website or whatever is that a lot of those platforms or apps or whatever
have like 10 trillion features.
So we're working on it.
There is actually a lot of features in the app right now.
There's just also quite a massive pile more to go.
So there's, there's, there's features coming.
Right now I believe the main thing that's being worked on is casting.
So that's coming.
That'll be cool.
That already partially works and there's more stuff come down the pipeline, including dark
mode and all this other kind of stuff that people are asking for.
We are listening.
It is coming.
But you gotta give us, you gotta give us some time, man.
Uh, Scratter says June 21st, 2019 windows will be free to install as per Linus three
years from now.
There it is.
Boom.
Um, Midland productions.
Good evening you guys.
I was wondering your thoughts on something.
Would you say, say the SSDs are standard for computer builds now or have NVME SSDs surpassed
them already?
It depends.
For example, NVME is everywhere.
Um, but I would still say that SEDA is good enough for the vast majority of people.
And a lot of the time you'll see, I'm not choose in laptops and they're still SEDA.
So it's hard for me to say without like really digging down into people's product stacks.
Um, yeah, like if you're at Best Buy or whatever buying a desktop, I would be surprised if
it's got an NVME drive in it.
If it's a laptop, anything sort of premium, like mainstream premium, I'd say is going
to be NVME in most cases.
Um, Frankie G says, is AMD doing big enough things with their CPU's to get Linus to use
one in his own rig instead of an Intel chip?
You know what?
They've got an opportunity, but it's going to be a little bit tricky because my personal
rig is actually in a separate room and I use Thunderbolt to a dock to carry my display
and all my peripheral signals, um, over a single thin cable.
And right now, Thunderbolt is not supported on AMD now as USB four, which is Thunderbolt
starts to be picked up by AMD motherboards.
Hey, now we're talking, but as it is, um, it's not officially supported.
I do believe Wendell from a level one techs got it working on some weird MSI or gigabyte
guy.
I believe there's a couple of different boards that support it now.
So possibly, possibly because I actually undid my last CPU upgrade on a 59 60 X.
So I am still primed and ready for a CPU upgrade and I am waiting to see how it goes.
Linus looks so small next to Luke.
Thanks to the gamer cave, Adam, you're the best lines to Luke.
Love your channels.
Learning a lot.
Never get rid of Dennis too.
Didn't intend to.
All right.
I've only got time for a couple more here.
So Ilya says, why wasn't there a notification?
I'm 45 minutes late.
Sorry, dog.
Um, I blame Luke.
Yeah.
Um, would it be possible for me to be a beta tester for float plane as a streamer?
So we're not really streamer focused, at least not right now yet.
And it will be a while.
Oh, Marshall says, how does Luke feel about Nebula?
So you weren't here when we discussed Nebula.
No.
Um, it's, it's interesting.
I think to a certain degree, more of these types of things in our space is going to normalize
this for users and creators.
So that's good.
Um, I wouldn't have set it up the way they did.
Well, obviously.
Yeah.
I mean, that's like, you're literally building a video platform, so you didn't, I would have
done it.
You would have done it the way you did it.
But there are some changes I would have done for float plane.
If I knew, if, if, if me and the team knew what we know now, there are some things that
I would have done differently.
Okay.
There's, there's a lot of things that we've done differently.
There's like a couple primary ones that I would have done differently, but, but there's
some core design philosophies behind how they are handling their video content that I do
not think is a great idea.
Well, I've invited, um, I've invited one of the creators onto the show.
That'd be cool.
So we'll get a chance to talk to them.
I just think that it's like, the way that I see it is you could view us as competitors,
but we've both, we're both such so much smaller fish that like, it's better to kind of be
aligned.
Yeah.
Yeah.
At least at this stage in the game.
Yeah.
It's like, we're, we're both rather small and I think basically everybody in this more
specific niche is rather small and having more of us that are doing well is a good thing.
Yes.
So I wish them the best.
In this risk game, you know, Google has North America and South America, Amazon is holding
on to Europe, you know, um, who else even exists?
Yeah.
But what does Microsoft really do in online video?
They have a live streaming platform mixer.
Okay.
So Microsoft has Australia takes up Northern Ireland and meanwhile, like, you know, uh,
nebula and float plane are hanging out in like Japan and Kamchatka like they can't really
penetrate North America because it's really heavily fortified.
But like every turn they can collect three armies and then take just one country in Asia
and then maybe start to collect four once they can get 12 countries.
I've been playing risk with the kid, um, and you know, start to just have a big enough,
you know, mass of, of armies that is kind of not worth it for any of the big players
to come in and take that over.
But like just kind of keep moving around, be like a roving hoard of barbarians, you
know, and bide their time, not attack each other.
Like, and then when it, when the time comes to strike, you know, make sure that they're
moving together against the incumbents.
You know, that's, that's the end of the show.
Thanks for watching guys.
See you again next week.
Same bad times, same bad channel.
Bye everybody.
What a crazy show.
Did you see the thumbnail?
No.
Oh, I still can't look at it cause it's still technically live.
How is it unlisted?
I didn't even know it was possible.
So we've been doing that because we've been uploading the archives manually.
Why would you do the live stream announcement?
Oh, why was that?
No, I don't know why that was like that.
I knew you could publish them unlisted.
I didn't know you could like start the stream unlisted.
