heroes in the thing oh yeah we should talk about youtube heroes
hey guys i don't know what the next one is oh no no i'm done filming now no so these are over
no good try good try but i'm done filming uh i hope i hope everything's working everything's
working right welcome to the land show oh man i actually can't it has been an intense week
between me and luke we scripted 11 12 12 videos this week okay you did a lot then uh holy crap
what the hell uh because i did four yeah okay i have been appreciate that you bundled me in
that pulley but just to add some context i'm trying to i'm trying to make sure there is a lot
is a lot just so people like understand four is like four is okay so we do when show every week
that's one of our seven weekly ltt uploads yeah um so if each luke and i do three then that covers
everything we need to do for the week yeah because that's our six uploads so if we produce 12 in a
week then what that means is that in the event that linus's wife who was induced this morning
gives birth in the next 18 or so hours like she did last time she was induced close to what's
happened just like how it's supposed to work then we will have a full additional week based
on what we produced this week a full additional week of content that will allow linus to spend
some time with his brand new baby yeah that that is uh and then if i keep where we're at
four a week then we'll only rot at two videos a week as time goes on yes which is not that bad so
maybe so maybe i will be able to take some time it's really funny like i never actually take my
kind of vacation time like since i started working at ncix i think i've taken one time off that i
would actually consider to be a vacation and it was like it was like early on in the days when
basically i like got home and i was living with my girlfriend's parents and we would like get home
and play team fortress 2 like my life really wasn't that hard anyway yeah yeah um but since
then it's always been like some trip from hell to asia with two infants or like uh when i've had a
child so i i think i took about seven work days off when i had my daughter um but this time the
plan is and this has actually been kind of incredible like our team is now 15 strong as
of the new sales person that we've added who starts not this coming monday but the following
monday okay now 15 strong and the team is now structured such that i am hoping to take two to
three weeks off to enjoy with my new child to be fair out of all of those new hires from three
people to 15 people you haven't added anyone that's going to help with what you do the core
on ltt no yeah on super fun and on tech wiki i have okay but super fun used to be a much smaller
commit yes and but technically yeah was a lot of work for me yeah yeah although we didn't do
three to four tech wikis a week the way that we do now and they were yeah the original ones were
okay oh okay the original original ones i think they were just a little low hanging i don't think
they're necessarily bad they were just very low hanging they were very low hanging they were low
hanging like the balls of a potent stallion actually no stallion balls are actually kind
of tight to the body so i like what has low good thing what has low hanging balls i'm sure twitch
chat knows twitch chat can please please let us know twitch chat what are we even do we have
topics really no longer low hanging balls i can i can get us some topics here there's one okay
for topics today yahoo confirms a 500 million account breach for people who will never even
know that this breach occurred because let's face it they are not that twitch twitch savvy
internet savvy yeah they have yahoo accounts yeah moving on total biscuits tumor is down
50 in size that is excellent news that is so good is it okay i i know because of like a new
treatment and stuff and that's after a very small amount of sessions i know that inoperable means
that it cannot be operated but is it operable if it can be operated on uh i would assume so
i don't know english is stupid and medical stuff gets crazy so you've got that combination i don't
know okay i mean flammable and inflammable same thing so like rip english yeah uh what else we
got calmer lucky is financing trump memes so well they're more like anti-hillary memes we'll get
into it sure yeah yeah and apple patents a paper bag so yep maybe you can store your headphones
in a lunch bag is it because it could have an apple in it oh oh that's not even funny
that's not even like an aw damn moment that's just stupid that's okay i really appreciate you like
no worries
sorry
i can try and make eight videos in a way
like normally i would have to put those little graphics in there which is why a lot of the time
it wasn't done so that's a thing oh okay well it's done now so good job colton so yahoo has
confirmed 500 million accounts breached we have a article from i believe the you want me to post
that into a wall street journal i got it already here i'll share luke's screen boom there you go
uh oh oh oh twitchception twitchception all right there we go so yeah at least 500 million user
accounts um they're probably taking a little bit away from that for like people that haven't
actually accessed their yahoo account for the last six years i think 500 million accounts
i mean is that not like is that the entire population of north america more than that
canada has like 35 million the states has like 335 million or so like 330 340
i don't know how many people live in mexico but like it can't be that many like holy crap yeah
is this is this the biggest account leak ever potentially yeah yeah i guess because we don't
fully know how every single one of them has gone then we don't technically know if it is the
biggest but it is potentially the biggest i mean do 500 million people have yahoo accounts how many
of them are dead like how many of them have passed away yeah like actually people who have passed
away a lot of these are probably people who like oh when i was 10 i made an email account called
like sephiroth xxx69 boy and now i have replaced that with my real name and then at yahoo like
there's probably a lot of those going on frighteningly enough sephiroth porn is probably a thing
i just i remember like when i was younger and into video games it seemed like every second dude that
i ran past was like xxx sephiroth xxx it's just like the big and the small yeah yeah yeah the big
x is in the middle yeah i know i know you know what was your like i'm a little kid email okay
i'm gonna do evan's first okay so evan's was sweetheart09 oh man at hotmail.com oh man with
underscore sweet underscore heart underscore zero nine and her display name always had like those
things with the yeah yeah yeah thing on the other side it was perfect it was awful it was awful it's
a it's amazing that i ever fell in love with her because that's terrible um with that said um my
cringe like first email address is moomoo underscore the underscore cow at hotmail.com
yeah someone actually acquired it from me like really later on down the line like it went
inactive and like someone got it otherwise i would have kept it i totally would have kept that you
know quite frankly my new one is not that much better but it's funnier if you like get the joke
yeah um i mean i don't even care i don't even monitor anymore i just keep it more out of
sentimental value than anything else so i'll tell you guys what it is but it's the underscore peanuts
underscore gallery it's just so long hotmail.com it's really long it's hard to type but what's
funny about it and the thing okay this is important to me both of my email addresses were
unique they did not have numbers at the end of them because especially 10 years ago there was
really no excuse for that come up with something original don't be sephiroth you know six nine six
nine six nine six nine because all the other six nines were taken okay um so they were both unique
okay um so they were both unique and the peanuts gallery is actually pretty funny because
you know my personality of being loud and outspoken and sometimes wrong is uh is is
directly sort of like it is kind of similar to what we what you would expect from the peanut
gallery who i i forgive me if i have the origin of the term wrong but it dates back to i think
shakespearean times when the peanut gallery was the standing audience in the theater
the poor people who like left a lot of peanuts um peanut remains left on the floor so like like
they were kind of like and they would like they would yell during the show they were uncouth
um so so i called myself the peanut gallery and then i'm the peanuts gallery because my name is
one of the characters in the comic strip peanuts by charles schultz linus so i was like haha i am
so clever this is unique no one else would ever want this email also because it's so damn long
yeah okay so what's your cringe email uh pretty bad i technically didn't make it but i was totally
down with it and used it uh ladies boy 54 54 was my boy i didn't want to use man because i was too
young i didn't self-identify as a man at that point in time i self-identified as a boy oh i'm
so triggered right now so it was yeah ladies but apparently i was into older women because i used
ladies instead of girls uh well girls boy 54 just doesn't really even mean anything sounds a little
weird yeah yeah so it was it was lady yeah ladies boy 54 at hotmail.com yeah that was uh i i actually
tried to get it back i remember when i finally abandoned it i just made its password something
crazy so no one would ever get into it and then now it's just gone i tried to like get it back
the other day and like see what i used to do because i don't even remember what brought this on
anyway i'm i'm definitely curious what ladies boy 54 like like why were you trying to get it the
other day no not the other day oh like like quite some time i don't remember when but like i went
back to try to like oh can i get my old email back all the older women in the audience are freaking
out by the way because they're like they have a chance now all all the older women like my mom
well she could be freaking out right now probably because she's embarrassed um but yeah there's
there's probably an extreme lack of that currently watching yeah but yeah that was uh that was my old
email oh that's funny hooray have we even covered a topic yet oh yeah the yahoo thing oh that's
excellent okay good um so i don't know we haven't actually really talked about any of the details
of the breach so i guess oh the reason my laptop is running so poorly is that heaven still thought
it was like running on an external monitor or something oh oh that's that's very inconvenient
yeah who believes the hackers are no longer in its corporate network that's probably good um
the company said that it didn't believe that unprotected passwords payment card data or bank
account information had been affected um okay do they say what was affected yeah i'm trying to
figure that out investigating claims blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
it's unlikely to affect the terms of the verizon deal so that's good even though uh they said
that um they weren't aware of any security breaches on september 9th the intrusion happened
in late 2014 so by now like oh man wow basically they didn't even really start investigating until
july when yahoo was started looking into claims by hackers who were offering to sell 280 million yahoo
usernames and passwords like oh they said that the information for sale wasn't legit though and
eventually determined that they had been breached by a state-sponsored actor so we'll kind of stay
tuned i guess and see how many of our grandparents uh should probably change their yahoo account
passwords and my girlfriend stop using that email she uses yeah yeah why you know like i like
subtly roasted her for this like a like while ago on the wan show but now like come on my aunt who
has been retired for the last five years uses hotmail at least hotmail's even better though
i know yeah you're you're on the outlook platform and stuff now like it's fine it's just an uh
it's just an older name yeah ah man it's garbage that's disappointing all right researchers lead
the way towards a method of unhackable internet communication okay grain of salt oh oh yeah
no okay so i see where this is going so quantum state kind of internet networking stuff is iffy
because if you try to intercept it uh before it gets to its destination the data inside will
change so it could be hacked sort of but they won't get what you were trying to send
if that makes sense and there would still be means of part of the problem is that the the use
of the word hack yeah has become so perverted from the from the actual definition that because
like a very effective hack in this scenario could be to hit everything and make it so that each side
can't communicate with each other properly because everything that's going in each direction
is scrambled yes or another hack could be as simple as installing screen recording software
on someone else on someone's computer and intercepting the data that way you don't have to
you know be all like csi like intercepting transmission retransmit like it doesn't hack
the coffee mug like it's not it's upside down now yeah way to go if you didn't get that way to go
that's not the only means of hacking and lots of forms of hacking including social engineering
hacks will very much still exist and this will do absolutely nothing to
at all help against social engineering is not hacking yeah it constantly gets used in that way
we call it that like you know oh linus's twitter got hacked like no no in the purest sense of the
word linus's twitter account was compromised yep but it was not hacked because calling it a hack
would be giving the folks involved in that far too much credit yeah
all right so anyway um basically it's a group from the university of calgary that teleported
the quantum state of a photon to a location 6.2 kilometers away using fiber optic cable
researchers in shanghai sent states of photons 14.7 kilometers across that city so they believe
that widespread adoption of quantum teleportation technology could usher in a new era of unhackable
internet communication the first step though is figuring out how to send that quantum information
over the vast distances we're talking not a few kilometers of fiber optic networks that span the
entire globe although like internal land connections at extremely secure facilities
using this could be pretty cool that would be pretty cool yeah um
um and basically i mean
hmm so okay so the rest of it is kind of what we covered earlier yeah the rest of it is like
pretty techie speak but pretty much pairs of particles are linked together through unique
properties or states and then that means that only the two parties who have the entangled particles
can read the information sent between them which is pretty cool hackers trying to eavesdrop would
introduce detectable anomalies and the two parties could abort their communication so this is the
kind of thing that i see being more like a military thing within any kind of like reasonable period
of time reasonable periods and i i don't know if it would ever make its way to like your wi-fi
router for a number of reasons um so don't just consider like oh these guys are saying that
technology isn't going to advance like that's not necessarily what we're saying there could even be
legal reasons the government likes to have ways to sniff on your stuff so they literally might
not make this possible for you they can sniff my stuff anytime they want it won't smell good but
that's their problem it might smell good let me just get out of the shower it's all right
all right this is freaking hilarious um so incredibly not surprised haven't we been
saying this for so long i i actually it's you know what it's not something that we've like
ranted on but it's definitely something that we have talked about internally a lot yeah turns out
facebook was inflating their video view stats for two years miscalculation uh likely led to
an overestimated viewing time of 60 to 80 percent oh my god that's insane like oh this was according
to a letter sent to an ad buying agency that was reviewed by the wall street journal so basically
facebook has been trumpeting that they are the the next destination for online video that they
get x number of views like you look at any video on facebook it has a view counter under it and
they've been saying that yeah so they've been saying that they are like like you know closing
in on youtube for the most viewed online video platform and wibbly blobbity blob but the truth
of the matter is that the way that they're counting is ridiculous i mean they auto play the
video yeah as you scroll through and i can't remember actually nick light is the expert on
this stuff i kind of wish he would come down and take my spot here because he'd be able to say a
lot more about it than i would but i think that facebook so so so youtube counts a view after i
think it's something to the tune of 15 to 30 seconds facebook's is almost immediate facebook's
is like two seconds so youtube is kind of looking at it where they've had a lot of data over the
years finding out uh how long it takes to capture a viewer and if you watch for under that amount of
time it considers that you didn't capture the viewer yes so that's not a view and it doesn't
count it yes you watch for a significant enough time so you're past the average time that people
would bail if they're not that interested then it counts as okay go ahead you got my chair i was
literally i literally just finished the meeting and turned on the land show and latus is like i
wish nick would come downstairs and take my chair okay sure so anyway what do i what do i need to
talk about uh facebook views compared to youtube views how they're calculated yeah it's funny
because i've been saying this forever no i know yeah like yeah because you you have it standard
that adds or that videos autoplay make people disable it so grandma watches every single video
that's on her timeline watches um because technically i'm not exactly sure how facebook
counts a view um i know on youtube it's something to the tune of a number of seconds i don't know
what the number of seconds is um but if facebook is saying that one second is one view and they're
autoplaying on pretty much anyone who's not slightly tech savvy's timelines then that's a
lot of views that are not actually views um so anyway it's just like it's something that i've
been talking about internally here for a long time um that i was speculating essentially that
facebook may have been over inflating their view numbers and it appears that that may have in fact
been allegedly correct yeah by by the team of 60 to 80 percent apparently which is hilariously
awesome because i i actually personally hate facebook video and that's not just because like
where are youtube people it just sucks it's like the amount of times that i'm like oh okay i
actually do want to watch this and then the player just like fails it's like what oh and that's like
and that's like an in sorry is it 60 to 80 percent inflation on view number or view through duration
do we know
estimated time of 60 to 80 percent like how and like that's that's the main metric that
youtube is even going for right now what's actually great about that is that that doesn't
even address the ridiculous view counts then yeah right so you counts could be 300 percent
high yeah yeah a thousand percent higher so like i was saying if they're counting every single
second if if every person who watches the video for one second counts as a view
you could easily be looking at hundreds of percent inflation on view numbers so this is all
speculation and allegedly and disclaimers i'm sure they're not gonna exactly publish all this
kind of stuff but this is how it feels like it works from like a fair amount of the second i
saw that they started to do autoplay i was like oh they're trying to push up numbers yeah that's
the only reason yeah i mean i guess they could argue that it's for convenience sake i would
actually love it if facebook became more of a legitimate video sharing platform it'd be great
because we kind of need something that properly competes with youtube we we tried doing it
consistently for like a while and we should still be doing it consistently but um we're not always
doing it consistently um and that is a lot in many cases due to the fact that it's so sporadic
yeah like it's so dependent on not only just keywords and and likes and all that like it is
on youtube um but it's so dependent on whether people are sharing it because if you don't get a
share it's like well this video got 300 views yeah and if you get a couple and if you get a share
and that person has 400 friends and all their 400 friends scroll down their newsfeed then it's like
oh wow there's 400 more views even though one percent of those people were actually interested
i think seven gamers has like over a million views on facebook because it got shared and some
of our normal videos have like a thousand so like that's what am i supposed to do like i don't
anyway oh man so i mean to be clear it's not like they're getting busted on this and they were still
trying to hide it they did come clean i mean this came from a letter they sent to an ad buying
agency although i wonder if they're coming clean because they needed some kind of reason for
why advertising on facebook video performs so poorly do you know what i mean maybe maybe they're
just proactively kind of addressing it so that no one digs further and kind of goes like if a
million people watch this and like one person orders the new dyson miracle vacuum or whatever
like really one out of a million like you know we run banner ads that are more effective than that
really oh that's a dig um so anyway speaking of youtube though should we jump down to youtube
heroes let's definitely do youtube heroes you know what's so funny about the name of this is that
it's exactly like the condescending derogatory term that someone would use for people who are
here who white knight around on the internet reporting stuff youtube heroes it's like good job
hero you reported a video that had a bad word in it good for you now to be clear i do think that
the youtube heroes program uh has the potential to offer a lot of benefit to the youtube community
at large and we'll go ahead and we'll fire up the uh the youtube heroes page here so you guys can
have a look at it it's a google support page here but there is also like everything google does like
how do they not oh they're in that they are the most what this needs like this could be very cool
if what happened was when enough heroes flag something it gets manual actual person oversight
afterwards that's not going to happen but if that did happen that could be actually kind of cool and
i don't understand why google doesn't understand this because they are the internet companyist
of internet companies like they did okay no they do have a physical product okay technically google
glass is a physical product and chromecast and chromecast is okay so they do have physical
products audio but all their physical products are our internet okay our internet is that even
i don't really think so don't worry about it whatever okay they're like they were like
forged in the fires of mount internet okay and they've got the internet ring okay the
ring ring bus token ring i'm trying to bring this back just not happening topology what are you
talking about ring topology okay basically there's no excuse for google to implement things that
appear to internet denizens like us as though they've never seen the way online communities
interact before yeah so people will people will become heroes for the sole purpose of trolling
the crap out of people h3h3 actually said it in a really interesting way if you go to the youtube
heroes video page and you see the ludicrous amount of dislikes and then you look down a little bit
further and you notice that youtube has disabled comments on the video uh ethan pointed out that
if you're scared of those people those are very directly the people that are going to enter this
program and are going to troll the crap out of you and everyone else on this platform so we haven't
actually explained what it is yet which we should probably do so heroes level up like does this just
feel like an executive with gray hair like was sitting in a boardroom so the kids these days
they like the video games and there's the in the video games there's the hero right and you
and the hero levels up get experience and then you you yeah you level up and then becomes more
powerful and gains abilities interesting yeah we should gamify the most boring part of the entire
platform moderating it yeah okay so that's what it's for uh heroes also there are other bits
and these bits are cool if you subtitle things you can get like points towards your hero thing
and subtitling things is awesome and i think there's something else i was gonna go through
the whole list okay so here goes level up by doing what he said sharing their knowledge
effectively with other users on the youtube help forum is another big one um by flagging
inappropriate videos that's where the problem lies and each type of contribution is worth a
certain number of points so accurate reports of videos that violate community guidelines is one
point contributing a subtitle edit that gets published is another point answering a user
question on the youtube help forum with a comment selected as the best answer is 10 points so they
say captions in there are they considering subtitles the same as captions because those
are actually adding captions and subtitles to videos are both um and no i know but then it
says down below when it says actually earn points it says contributing a subtitle edit that gets
published equals one point i'm pretty sure they mean captions and subtitles i think for the
purposes of i actually i think there is a subtle difference between them but i don't remember what
it is i think is that captions are native language and subtitles can be either i think i'm not that
sounds right to me that's what i was going to say i think okay so maybe we're right and if we're not
then twitch chat will yell at us but i'm not looking at it right now so i don't care i'm gonna
look i care about you all right so it's currently in beta it's subject to change um effectively you
can unlock rewards which is kind of here let's go ahead and uh unlock rewards so hero levels level
one become a hero zero to nine points you can access the heroes dashboard and join the community
a level two hero uh learns at exact exclusive workshops and can take part in hero hangouts
like can you imagine that would be even worse than being in like a student government meeting
ah closed captioning is like listening to a video for the deaf and subtitles is just yeah but
effectively they're both texts at the bottom they usually look different so closed captioning
usually has a black background and subtitles usually are like a like a um yeah a black drop
shadow on white text like it's sort of weird yeah it's it's just i don't think that's enough of an
answer but yeah there you go can you imagine like being in a hero hangout like just i'm hanging out
with all the people who moderate like i'm not saying that inappropriate content on youtube
is a good thing and i'm not saying like it doesn't need to be moderated and i'm not i'm also not
saying that in the very very long term with properly vetted heroes this program has the
potential to be better than an automated system so i'm not saying any of those things i'm just
saying that there is so much room for human error that didn't exist before and people who sit around
and moderate youtube videos might be nerds apparently people a few people have actually
said that we're right with subtitles and captioning okay cool uh level three you get access to super
tools and this is where it gets scary you only need a hundred points how easily could you abuse
the system to get a hundred points on this an insane thing too is like if you think about it
you could have your friends not to fuel the fire more you could have your friends ask a question
on the youtube ten questions that's it you get ten points and you can even make them look pretty
legit as long as the person just selects best answer and it looks pretty legit ten points
that's right and then you get to mass flag abusive videos which is like terrible so we've actually
already had some flags come in yeah uh so i think uh the issue that someone flagged us for is
completely irrelevant these come in every once in a while and it's fine because youtube i believe has
changed the procedure on them i used to have to dispute them individually and my inaction would
lead to the video being pulled but people have said that you can flag a video saying that it
must have closed captioning if it originally aired on tv in the united states that's like a rule
so people can flag it saying i think this video must have closed captioning and it used to be
that i would get my monetization removed if nothing else on those videos if i didn't
demonstrate that my video was not a tv show at some point in time i'm sitting here going this
is ridiculous yeah so we i think we got hit with a mass flag of those already okay i'm just kind of
like okay that's charlie minor i guess at level four you get to sneak preview product launches
and contact youtube staff directly which is amazing because it took me until a year and a
half ago to have direct contact with youtube staff that might be bad because it might call the system
uh and getting closer to youtube a thousand plus points means you can test products before release
and apply for the heroes summit which sounds like the most boring possible place you could ever go
but you know what power to you if you're into that sort of thing i mean maybe they'll bring
like like celebrity youtubers to the summit or something so you can meet pewdiepie or whatever
like i don't know youtube has the kind of money that would allow them to i don't pewdiepie likes
this though yeah i mean i know pewdiepie needs the money the super he releases a lot of videos
like trolling the crap out of youtube because they keep doing stupid stuff yeah fair enough so
i mean basically it's
maybe eventually it's like so many yeah you know what okay it comes back to exactly the
same conversation i was having about the way that they were cracking down on non-advertiser
friendly content right now it's terrible give it another couple of years and they'll probably have
worked out the kinks but that doesn't change the fact that this is going to create a lot of
unnecessary busy work for people who are just trying to use the platform legitimately and
running around and pinning like you know merit badges on people for reporting stuff that you
know might not technically be within the community guidelines but like come on just you need it's
like the community guidelines are you could pull down a lot of content on youtube based on the
community guidelines and it would in my opinion destroy a lot of you know the things that people
were whining about with the whole uh advertiser safe policies thing like um like it could destroy
a lot of the free speech and openness of youtube to have people running around flagging anything
that offends them a lot of a lot of community guidelines are in place so that if you go far
enough they can hit you with a book not necessarily so they can actually be enforced 100 all the time
for everyone yeah so yeah this is great 53 nt 13 nt great username uh says hall monitors yes that is
youtube has basically implemented a whole monitor system which was always terrible which was always
terrible so sjw report system yeah like basically that seems to be what we're looking at that sounds
like the most boring summit that anybody could be at what would be its purpose do you go around
and meet other people who like abusing moderation powers i think in the right community getting like
we call them monitor moderators actually like on our community forum but getting together
community leaders is what i would think of them as more like yeah and could be cool when you have
that it's a contained community that's supposed to generally be about one thing and you have a
relatively small compared to the entirety of youtube subset of users and there's essentially
one category it is a tech forum yes these guys are just like go on youtube and look at whatever
you want and click the buttons like uh i don't know like if you don't understand the humor of
a channel and they're doing like satire or something that's a little bit edgy and then
you decide to flag it because you're like this is bad content you don't realize it's a joke
that could go and i am not just salty that i do not have any hall passes okay and that i was not
selected for student body president okay i wasn't ever student body president i was on hillary was
student body president and i never went and they got really sad about it but i didn't actually
apply they just put me on the student council so i was like i'm not going and they're like you have
to go i was like i'm not going there's no way i would ever do that i wouldn't even want you on
student council why because rude you'd be all like you'd be all like we need more more showers
at the school well we no we had enough there yeah enough there we don't have enough here we should
get showers here ah see see exactly what i was afraid of let's do ad spots squarespace you can
make a website about a shower if you want if we did enough squarespace spots maybe we could afford
luke's shower that is why squarespace no that is not why squarespace squarespace lets you
build a beautiful website that looks great at your computer on your phone or in the shower similar
to how you would look on your phone get out of the shower on the new iphone 7 yeah that's water
yeah that's water resistant thank you i appreciate see that see that right there that's me listening
to you buddy um they offer 24 7 support via live chat and email it's only 12 bucks a month to start
and you get a free domain if you buy squarespace for the year all their websites include a commerce
module a free online store and cover pages a feature that lets you set up a beautiful
one-page online presence in just minutes maybe your page is like a shower and as you scroll down
you go further down the shower and the whole time you're like oh my goodness there's gonna be a
person and then you have an iphone underwater that would actually be kind of a funny website yeah
just like like you know those ones where it's like like it's a big image yeah and you just see like
this the slit yeah and like it could just go down down down is there gonna be a dick is there gonna
be a dick is there gonna be a dick no it's an iphone 7 yeah i like that yeah we should someone
someone should make that website probably your space yeah and if they did so then they wouldn't
have to pay for the first 14 days because squarespace offers a free trial that lets
anyone try it see how easy it is to use before buying and deciding to use offer code when to
save 10 when they decide that that website really needs to be on the internet forever because it's
an important piece of artwork speaking of important pieces of artwork tools are not really art
and i fix it makes toolkits that someone put away improperly someone put away improperly and this
is my kit but it was in the workshop so oh i don't know what happened there are all the pieces there
are you gonna have to rage face all the pieces looks like all the pieces i think you're good
but are they in the right spots i've had people put my kit back with the pieces not in the right
spots i'm like i'm sitting here looking at going okay like the kits are great everything is clearly
labeled it is you can you can obviously tell what goes where uh this is the 64-bit driver kit so i
won't run on windows xp but as long as you've got windows vista or later or actually technically
there was a windows xp x64 edition but it was terrible no one used it no one no one used that
i actually did run it for a little while did you it worked oh yeah most people i know if that had
it it like crashed a lot and stuff i it was actually stable on my machine cool yeah yeah
it was one of those things anyway i fix it has what do they have they have great they have guides
for diy electronics repair whether it's your whether it's your imac your tablet your phone
whatever the case may be i have saved enough using i fix it guides to tear down machines
and often repair them in ways that cost me very little money that i could easily have afforded to
buy myself an army of i fix it repair kits not that i need one because all i fix it repair kits
are backed by their lifetime warranty in fact my i fix it repair kit my original one that i bought
over holy crap i've had it for three and a half years now lmg is almost four years old it's weird
right yeah i know like actually really close yeah yeah like soon anyway my original one still works
so well that i fix it had to yell at me and tell me to stop using it on camera because it's old
and outdated and they're supposed to be i'm supposed to be doing sponsor spots for the new one
but my old one still works exactly perfectly in every way we're getting closer to me working with
you for six years then whoa then nothing i guess but we're getting close we're getting close to
that i was thinking like all my previous jobs combined but that's not actually quite true yet
we're getting we'll get there we're gonna get this yeah um also in the pro tech tool kit which
is the one that we actually have these awesome embroidered ones that they sent us which is why
i know that someone put it back in the workshop when they took it from me yeah um so they've got
like esd safe tweezers hey you still have all your covers for your tweezers and stuff you're
doing good yeah uh they've got little pokers and prodders and prying tools they've got their other
prying tools the suction cup the esd strap that uh doesn't look like it's ever been taken out
along with the other the little spatula thing and the other like pry tool that's it's great
the tweezers and stuff have been used but yeah that that has never been taken most of what you
need to work on pretty much any small device is included in the kit and i can't say enough about
how much time and money i've saved with iFixit kits and i have to say the first kit or at least
the last kit that we had i don't know if that's technically the first kit was great but this one
is a lot easier to keep things tidy within the kit and that's actually really cool so you can get the
all-new pro tech tool kit it's not really that new anymore but my notes are old and get going on your
next fix hacker rebuild by just heading over to iFixit.com slash linus to save five bucks on a
purchase of ten dollars or more and they have a lot more than just the tool kits they have like
replacement gaskets for like imax like they have replacement parts uh the things that you'll break
when you take something apart they a lot of the time have stuff that'll allow you to actually
put things back together which is really helpful all right moving on to our next topic we actually
have not covered a lot of topics today um we've done like three okay so the original article here
is from thedailybeast.com polymer lucky the facebook near billionaire secretly funding
trump's meme machine yeah so basically he is providing financial backing and it's apparently
he has confirmed this to the daily beast he is providing financial backing for a group that
circulates dirty memes about hillary clinton even going as far as to buy physical billboard space
for a meme about how hillary is too big to jail and that's the uh that's the one that's in the uh
the image right here yeah nimble america now whether or not this is even legal is is actually
kind of a gray area right now because under the u.s tax code something something nimble america
can't spend more than 50 percent of its resources backing uh a candidate unless it also does all
these other things or something something etc but the fact that it's happening at all it basically
he's so he's putting money behind an unofficial donald trump group dedicated to shit posting and
circulating internet memes maligning hillary clinton i mean what is this i i kind of think
that people should probably put a little bit more uh investment into these two particular lines that
are actually quotes from him the first one is i've got plenty of money the second one is money
is not my issue i thought it sounded like a really jolly time if you look back and do a little bit
more deeper searching instead of just taking this article and a couple other ones at the surface
go far enough back there's pro bernie tweets on his twitter retweets tweets from himself
all that kind of stuff he was pro bernie in the background in the back when bernie was still
running i guess and i kind of think what's happening now is he's just like well my horse
is out of the race time to just be a supreme troll and he's literally just doing what he says
in that quote where it says money is not my issue i thought it sounded like a really jolly good time
i think bernie is out so he's just like let's burn some fires and have some fun and troll and
have a jolly good time i'm not trying to defend his actions yeah i just think that's helpful
right now i just think that people are taking it as something that it isn't and you can still be
mad and pitchforky over what i just said i don't care i just think that that's probably more aware
it's coming from and it also seems like more like a thing that he would do let's just troll around
i generally don't like trolling i'm not trying to defend this yeah i'm saying i think this is
the more accurate way to approach what's happening this is a really immature move
and i mean it shouldn't surprise me that much the guy is really young and i think his estimated net
worth based on some of the articles i was reading when i was looking into this i think it's really
interesting that he's looking into this something like 700 million dollars uh i don't think anyone
knows exactly how much he got paid from the facebook bio but it was a lot and i i think
like is he just is he just like cranky and bored like is that what this comes down to
uh yeah i kind of think so like i don't actually know obviously because we only have the quotes
there but i think he's looking at this selection as honestly what it is which is a complete mess
in like every possible way you can look at it rock and hard place yeah and just going like
well let's just screw around because obviously everyone else is screwing around so i'm going to
do it the way i do it which is by tossing some money around and having fun with the internet
and you can you can all judge that however you please oh man yeah the uh the twitch chat is just
like this this is great why don't you guys report on mark cuban who's going after trump every day
no one goes after trump trump creates the trumpness like you don't have to go after trump
go after trump all right like but then like yeah i don't know yeah i mean i think i think uh i i
can't read this person's twitch username because it's like bright green but the point is to vote
for who actually respects your constitutional rights and is actually willing to defend them
and actually knows his head from his butt and i agree with that and unfortunately the system is
broken enough that that isn't happening i don't think we need to get way too into politics
directly um you guys can all go watch uh yeah what was it called well there's a there's gonna
be a debate coming or that no our thing which thing when we built the computer oh yeah you
can go watch um oh what do we call that we call that show i don't like the name uh tech showdown
yeah tech showdown episode two i think it's a good name i don't think it's a good youtube name
yeah yeah i think it's a good like tv show name yeah um yeah so all right so good luck everyone
i am pretty sure he's just trolling and at this point with how the election's going i literally
don't think it's gonna make a difference um the too big to jail thing is an actually very
arguable point yep i did that so like and i haven't seen any of the other memes they've made
but that one's really not that bad i don't know i think people do like to glom on to some of the
anti-trump things that i've said and go like oh he's a hillary supporter i'm i'm not i'm canadian
so fortunately i actually don't have to make a decision on election day which is great which
is great for me i can just kind of point out everything that's completely ridiculous about
both of them but but trump is more hilarious like i have never paid closer attention to any
political anything than i have to the 2016 us election it has been better than every book i've
read every tv show i've ever followed in every movie i have ever watched in terms of entertainment
value that's really sad it's hilarious i don't find it funny oh at all really i find it really
depressing i to be completely fair i find this a little bit more funny than how the election's
going because this feels like a troll it feels like a joke i think it's legitimately a joke
i think he's legitimately screwing around i think trump is a living breathing joke oh yeah but like
that's a living breathing joke that might go in office and like control things and both of them
are that i don't agree with either of them okay like so fair enough when like this is probably
literally a joke i could be behind this more i guess so i don't but this literal joke could
contribute to putting trump in office i don't think it's gonna is it funny anymore at that
point luke i don't think it's gonna change is it funny anymore i don't think it's gonna change
anything i think as of right now no one's really flip-flopping sides if you've chosen one of them
i'm pretty sure you're there the holes are all over the place i don't know man yeah but the
polls are like like yes yes and no i mean every time every time trump attacks like a widow okay
not to like aside too hard it's still first past the post is it not i don't remember so the
election just doesn't matter in my opinion because it's just all bullshit anyways so just everything's
bullshit you have two crazy people running like trump you're sounding like trump it's a rigged
system man it's a rigged system systems rigged all right san francisco is getting tiny self-driving
robots that could put delivery people out of a job this is actually very interesting because
while the whole drone delivery thing is very headline grabby this is way more practical safer
more economical that is to say if they don't get stolen that often which i'm sure will be
a thing at some point or another um and way more likely a future than than what i see what i see
happening i mean this is the way to handle the last mile that addresses the problems with current
couriers like the cost associated with people driving vehicles around and delivering things
the cost associated with fuel involved in driving those vehicles around if these things could be
cheap and fast enough and easily replaceable enough to have enormous fleets of them then it
could actually become truly more economical to order things online than to go and pick them up
in bulk at stores and this should be terrifying to brick and mortar retail absolutely terrifying
more so than to delivery people who will still have to be involved in larger shipments and
customs brokerage and that kind of stuff for quite a while moving into the future um so the startup
uh what's what's the startup called starship technologies yeah it's an autonomous robot
i don't think linus is saying that he wants to put people out of jobs i think no i'm saying that it
will happen so we better be ready for it yes um and whether that and you know what you can you can
you can cry um what is it socialist all you want but at the end of the day like if we create enough
technology that people legitimately have nothing to do and have all of their of their base needs
taken care of we're gonna have to figure out something there's like there's arguments on each
side there's one that's going like in no recordable time in history ever has a new technology wake
actually made it so that there's less jobs it's just changed what the jobs are but then there's
a counter argument which i agree with more which is this is just job removal and mass this isn't
actually like just making your lives easier it's just directly replacing people i mean let's look
at the ice box or uh the uh so ice i love ice harvesting it's like it's hilariously out of date
and it wasn't that long ago like yeah crazy like like trains of ice okay like crossing america
to deliver ice from the ice harvesting caves to people's ice boxes all right like like there was
an entire infrastructure built around this industry and then boom refrigeration yeah but
refrigeration requires jobs maybe more skilled jobs which isn't necessarily a bad thing because
educational standards have by and large been improving since the early 1900s but overall the
jobs were replaced things that people did were replaced by things that other people did so net
net maybe you even gained jobs like you do it many times as this whole thing progresses um and more
convenient for the people that are using the thing that's right however looking at some of the
automated things that are happening now replacing the person who flips burgers with a machine that
flips burgers replacing the mechanic who changes the oil in your car by hand because every car is
different with a machine that just swaps the battery on your model s in what was it like 10
minutes it's less than it takes to fill up your tank of gas something along those lines exactly
what it was not a lot of time now we're talking about people who actually just don't have any work
to do um and it's very different end-to-end replacement not only are you just replacing
the guy that flips the burger you're replacing every other line of cooking that's in there
you're also replacing selling things to people the food delivery you're also replacing the food
delivery you're also replacing the food harvesting to some degree yep you're also replacing like
everything yeah yeah so basically this robotic courier picks up goods from a centrally located
logistics hubs hub and delivers them to homes within a two-mile radius through a partnership
with mercedes-benz the company is experimenting with loading a bunch of robots into a modified
sprinter van that drops off the delivery bots along its route now when self-driving vehicles
loaded up with it's going to be like phantom menace man like you're going to have like the
the like the the the drop ship that like floats along the street and then it's going to be like
unroll the thing and it's like they're going to like come out and they're going to deliver
all the things to the houses they're going to come back and then it's going to go to the next
location it's going to be an amazing future we just need to figure out the role that people are
going to play in it that's complicated yeah so like this is cool and i love it but like my job
is still protected for a while although it won't be that long yep before you can build an ai they're
already working on it evaluates a product tests every single that was made by another ai possible
yeah that was made by another ai that tests every single possible aspect of it and delivers like
how good is it could it be better and yeah and then the places making these products will just
have those in their studios where they're making the products and then the robots that are making
the products will know exactly how good it is and then they'll price it exactly where it's supposed
to be so you won't really need the reviewer bots because you'll just know that everything is price
scaled exactly perfectly yeah suspend more and it'll be better yeah period yeah for everything
always all right so we're slightly over time i would like to cover there isn't much that oh we
already talked about total biscuits tumor thing right yep sort of okay i mean there's really
nothing else in the notes that we didn't say already it's very good it's tumor size is down
by 50 that's very good um amd's am4 socket has been pictured okay it has like 1200 pins or
something like that i don't know 24 pcie lanes which is really interesting so amd is apparently
targeting squarely between intel's mainstream platform and their enthusiast platform just based
on that that's all i'm going based on but that is actually very interesting to me so dual channel
ddr4 which is frankly all we need on the desktop anyway 24 pcie lanes meaning that amd seems to
think they're going to be that better than the mainstream but like enthusiast grade but cheaper
than enthusiast option which is a as a void that intel has stubbornly refused to fill over the last
four to five years really interesting because intel could easily build a more complex quad core
or a six core in terms of the die size cost associated with that mainstream platform they
just choose not to they choose to put better onboard graphics if amd comes in and turns the
screws a little bit on intel we could be in for a fascinating couple of years here apparently it's
not that many pins it's not 1331 yeah 1331 that's more than 12 whatever that i said i
i thought you said something else oh okay i don't know twitch chat's trying to correct you i don't
know what's going on get wrecked twitch chat spotify and tinder link up to form a match
made in heaven if your heaven is swiping if your heaven is swiping people and listening to music
for free yeah i mean i think it's actually not a terrible idea to have people with similar music
tastes sure um yeah like i mean so you can swipe someone and then just be like justin bieber nope
yeah exactly or justin bieber yeah his new stuff's okay i don't know i i meant like that's why i said
that's why i added the yup afterwards i don't listen to new stuff i'm old now i listen to the
things on my server now i'm that guy oh yeah or monster cat's 24 hour fm mix because i could
stream that because monster cat's cool and stuff so i either listen to monster cat because they
don't mute my vods or i listen to stuff on my server and that's it excellent yeah or the radio
because i don't pay attention to it and it's in the background i still listen to the radio too
yeah and i actually listen to it like over the airwaves like i don't have a fancy app
like even though the only station i listen to like you could just listen to it in an app
yeah anyway but i would never listen to it in the app because if i'm somewhere that doesn't have a
normal like amfm radio that i'm just going to listen to music that i have off my server so
anyway you can link your account and the music taste begins to become part of your dating profile
and you can also pick a song to be your anthem that describes who you are
so that's supposed to be a way to understand a person through a single piece of music which
is unfortunate um don't laugh brandon you know that you know a single person just just saw yeah
a single piece of music would have been enough for for for brandon it's like uh do they have a
song about taking pictures polaroid picture okay uh oh our buddies over at lime technology have
released the latest iteration of unraid so all the features that i've been demonstrating since
two gamers one cpu are finally in a stable release hooray hooray so they get v lands multiple
ethernet support no device limit for trials so you can actually try out unraid in a way that's not
frustrating which is oh my god kind of cool everyone's doing nickelback look at this photograph
yeah that could be brandon brandon could have a bunch of music under his profile
uh they've added dual parity support so if you're worried about two drives failing at a time and
losing data then you no longer have to worry about that they have a gooey boot mode now so
you don't have to access it on first boot over the network which i personally find helpful i find
that because like i don't care you can tell me all day that this should work over the network
just type this into your browser no no no just let me plug in a vga port and a ps2 keyboard
and then i will believe that it will work yeah so that's pretty happy for me um major updates
to virtual machines so i will be trying to do uh like a multi vr gamers one cpu over the next
little bit so stay tuned i'll be looking at some of the new 6.2 features there you and the point
point i think it's 0.3 of steam users well why are you a hater i'm not okay then
oh opera browser unveils a free unlimited vpn service this this raises my eyebrow because
nothing in life is free and especially user data is a very very valuable possibly valuable
enough that you could operate a vpn service for free with what that would be worth and
i'm not saying they're doing that and i'm not saying that opera was relatively recently bought
out by some like i think random chinese company that people don't know a ton about if i remember
the article correctly that we covered on the wan show a few months ago that's probably not noted
in here so it's a free no log easy to use vpn service available directly in the opera desktop
browser um christian calandra senior vice president of opera browser for computer says if
people knew how the internet truly works i believe they would all use a vpn i don't believe any of
them would use a free vpn they knew how the internet works yeah by making our browser vpn
free and easy to use we hope to make it an essential tool just as the locking key is to
your house i also wouldn't put opera in charge of the locking key to my house someone uh someone in
twitch chat said that they tried the opera vpn and it's terrible so maybe that's how they're
getting around the costs it's just it's just really bad oh okay well hey maybe i'm maybe my
tinfoil hat is too strong today and i should have just gone with my like general skepticism hat
i use opera as my home browser i've talked about this a little bit before because i use all
browsers that might that's my thing so every like different computer i use a different browser you'll
see i'm using firefox now i'm maintaining that by using firefox on my laptop um i use chrome on my
work desktop use opera at my home desktop firefox on my laptop and then ie on test benches or edge
i guess on test benches but half the time i get too frustrated with it and switch to chrome
anyways because it just doesn't work um god stupid i still hate how the bar is in the middle yeah
until you type in it it's like muscle memory okay i know where to find the browser bar
don't move it period it's fine where it is or was yes and don't move it put it somewhere and
don't move it if you decide the best place for the for the url bar is in the middle of the screen
then stick with it and if it's not the best don't put it there ever yeah because it's not because
it's not that you would navigate away it would be right in the middle of your that's really stupid
yeah and it's no less stupid doing it some of the time yes um samsung announces the 960 pro and 960
evo ssd is bolstering boasting blistering fast sequential read speeds of three and a half gigabytes
per second and writes of 2.1 gigabytes per second and something like three plus times the random
iops of say the ssd's we are finally at the point now here where nvme ssd's are coming into their
own and are going to be legitimately much faster feeling day to day than a state ssd how long do
you think until we start seeing it um as a rather common thing for easier for a user to have no
cable-based drives oh oh well in laptops already a thing i mean razor blade doesn't have a spot
for a drive it has one nvme slot okay i see what you're saying that's it so in laptops now yeah in
okay so we're already at the point where that cable nvme interface is like dead in the water
there's a handful of drives that support it but it's like unless intel and amd both get on board
and start building it into the south bridge like that's not happening um so those drives i mean
there's only like one drive that i'm aware of on the consumer side and that's the intel 750 series
um so either plugging into a pc express slot or plugging into an m.2 slot on your board
wow i think it's going to make way more sense for performance enthusiasts and by extension everyone
a few years down the road probably five three years three years that's my prediction three
years the only thing that makes me worry a little bit there's already a two terabyte model yeah but
how much does that cost but give it three years so i'm saying three years okay yeah i wish we uh
what could be kind of cool is if we had like a custom calendar just for like claims that
we have on the way i know right so we can like follow them up properly someone out there is
probably doing it that would be pretty cool actually it's like things that linus and luke
predict on the wan show like followed up how would that i think that pretty much wraps it up
americans apparently pay 40 more for tv than they did five years ago which only proves that
americans uh should stop paying for tv or that the only people left paying for tv
are the like ones who just aren't aware of the internet like what was it 30 million americans
cut the cord last quarter like some obscene number they don't watch sports sports can also
be streamed online and it's cheaper to sign up for like nhl center ice than it is to have
a cable subscription that's not necessarily true if you watch multiple different sports
well if you watch multiple different sports i mean okay if you watch baseball and anything i don't
know how you have fun for anything else did you know they played baseball did you know they did
you only play 160 games a year i did and that's without playoff what the hell 160 games a year
you could literally spend in your home arena i don't think they call it an arena but i don't
care ballpark there in your home ballpark just say park calculator benway park calculator okay
so 80 over 365 you could spend 22 percent of your evenings in a ballpark if you had seasons passes
and you actually you could eat a hot dog one out of every five nights and that is it for the land
show thank you for tuning in today we will see you again next week same bat time same bat chat
uh i will you will oh yeah i probably won't be here i will probably have a new baby and i'll
be like not in this country and hopefully that stream works at all we should just have like
nick and colton host the land show no i hate that guy no no
colton's chiming from the background charge is over this is not happening
so
like they're actually not very harmful until you eat a lot of them
like over an extended period of time then you like die because it's like sodium and like highly
processed and like stuff yeah no nose and like well pig nose is probably good for you
fine yeah everyone knows that oh god yeah we're still streaming
