show. We've got a great show lined up for you

0:02

guys this week. Google's AI

0:04

overviews feature launched and is

0:06

doing all kinds of wacky

0:08

things, citing the onion recommending

0:10

the health benefits of drinking

0:12

urine. Good job,

0:14

Google. In other news, Spotify

0:17

bricks its thing, which is

0:19

going to make a lot more sense to you

0:21

if you know what the thing is, which

0:23

we will cover later. What else

0:26

we got today? LTT released third

0:28

party investigation summary and the arm

0:30

windows revolution might come packed with

0:33

a privacy nightmare.

0:35

Oh yeah, that's going to be very interesting.

0:38

We'll talk about that. The

0:59

WAN Show is brought to you by Ridge

1:01

Acronis, Moose End, and our new

1:03

WAN Show partner, Secret Lab.

1:06

We've been sitting on their chairs for years, so

1:08

it just made sense. Check them out at the

1:10

link in the video description. To

1:12

start us off, we've got the LTT released

1:15

third party investigation summary. LMG committed

1:17

to releasing the results when this whole thing

1:19

started and they did so by posting it

1:21

on X, formerly known as Twitter. The WAN

1:24

Show is not the place to discuss HR

1:26

matters, so we won't be talking about it

1:28

here. Go check it out yourself if you

1:30

are interested. I also need to note that

1:33

any comments in live chat or merch messages

1:35

about this topic will just be ignored and

1:37

any bullying or harassment of any involved

1:39

party could result in consequences, including a

1:42

permanent ban. So let's just not.

1:44

But let us continue

1:46

on with the show. Yeah, do you want

1:48

to jump right into Spotify bricking its thing?

1:50

Yeah. OK, so first of

1:52

all, I had completely forgotten about the

1:55

car thing. Yes. OK, so it's an

1:57

accessory. Forget about it. I never knew

1:59

it existed. slash infotainment device and

2:01

the idea was to be able to

2:03

have Spotify in a car that doesn't

2:05

have Android Auto or doesn't have CarPlay

2:07

or maybe you just don't feel like

2:10

using Android Auto or CarPlay and you

2:12

just wanted this dedicated device to connect

2:14

to Spotify and what's kind of cool

2:16

about it is that people weren't just

2:18

using it in their cars. I saw,

2:21

was it, I don't know, it was

2:23

someone. Someone on the internet

2:25

said that they kind of used it in

2:27

their workshop but basically it was just an

2:29

interface that allowed you to interface

2:32

with Spotify. It

2:34

was invite only and it was launched

2:36

in April of 2021 and then launched

2:39

publicly in February of 2022 for $90.

2:43

It was then pulled from sale

2:46

just five months later meaning that

2:49

many devices, many users who own

2:51

these devices have had them for

2:53

less than two years and nobody

2:55

who has one has had it

2:57

for more than about three years.

3:00

Now just this week

3:02

Spotify, okay hold on, first

3:04

of all, Spotify began noticing

3:06

people that, they

3:08

got notifying people that the

3:10

car thing will be discontinued

3:12

as of December 9th of

3:14

this year and it

3:17

will be rendered completely inoperable.

3:20

So not only are they

3:22

discontinuing it, they're actually going

3:24

okay this is the date, this

3:26

is the hard date, throw

3:29

it in the garbage. It

3:31

gets better. I mean worse, sorry, worse, that

3:33

was a verbal typo, it gets worse. Spotify

3:36

is neither offering a

3:39

refund nor is

3:41

it even offering a store

3:43

f***ing credit. It is

3:45

basically going hey thanks

3:47

for your $90. We hope you

3:49

enjoyed the limited amount of time that

3:51

you had to own that product that

3:54

we, I don't know, I

3:56

guess this is now a retroactive lease agreement.

4:01

I think you might have basically just specified

4:03

this but when was the last like when

4:05

people someone have ordered it the same day

4:07

that it was discontinued No, people

4:09

could have ordered this as recently as March April

4:11

May June July as recently as the summer of

4:13

2022 so

4:15

a little less

4:18

than two years ago That's

4:21

wild though. I don't get it. I don't

4:23

understand why like I could understand

4:25

saying like, okay We're gonna end of life this

4:28

thing. It's not gonna receive updates But

4:30

it would probably keep working for a pretty considerable

4:32

amount of time Well,

4:34

yes and no because whatever whatever

4:36

API hooks it might rely on

4:40

Maybe it doesn't and I mean, this is

4:42

a funny one to me because it is

4:44

mind-blowing to me my understanding and guys correct

4:46

me If I'm wrong here. My understanding is

4:48

that it's it's just like an Android based

4:51

pretty simple thing So

4:56

From my point of view. I don't

4:58

really see the reason why this wouldn't

5:00

have just been Like

5:02

running the Android app in the background and the

5:04

interface wouldn't have just been the same as any

5:07

other device in which case to Luke's Point there's

5:09

no reason it couldn't just keep working for a

5:11

very long period of time kind of like when

5:13

Pebble stopped getting updates to the app. Yeah, dude

5:16

that worked for Years, you

5:18

know, they didn't actually kill it. Yeah,

5:20

they didn't actively shut it down. Yeah

5:23

Um People

5:25

are trying to sell them I'm finding

5:27

a like eBay dot CA people are

5:29

trying to sell So the only reason

5:31

I can think of for them to

5:33

actively kill it right now would be

5:36

if they created some kind of custom

5:38

Backend or custom interface for it

5:40

to interact with and this is

5:42

something that maybe you can explain

5:44

to me Okay, because I don't

5:46

understand it when I read comments

5:48

in the YouTube creator studio app

5:52

They are you've talked to me about yeah, I've talked to

5:54

you about this. Okay, they are Not

5:58

the same as the ones that are publicly

6:01

accessible. Okay, so for

6:03

example, if I sort by newest, the

6:05

Creator Studio app will be like missing

6:07

a bunch of them. And if I

6:09

go sort by newest on the

6:11

live site, they're all

6:13

there. There's more of them there. Why

6:17

the ever loving f**k

6:20

do they have two databases

6:23

of the comments on the studio? No, no, no,

6:25

no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on. Stop

6:27

typing. I

6:29

just realized they're typing. Yeah, I know what

6:31

they're talking to. Okay, YouTube

6:33

is a massive service that has

6:36

people accessing it from all over

6:38

the world. It operates at a

6:40

scale that is barely imaginable to

6:43

the lay person. They absolutely have

6:45

geo replicated servers running their services.

6:47

I get it. That's

6:50

not what this is. I

6:52

don't think it's and I know this. I

6:55

know this for a fact. It's

6:57

it's what I'm hooking into a separate for

7:00

whatever reason that I can't possibly fathom.

7:03

It is it is a sub it's

7:05

a subset. Why?

7:08

Why would

7:10

you redo work? Help

7:13

me. Well, I don't I don't think they did

7:15

redo work. I don't think they're

7:17

pulling from two different data sets. I'm

7:21

not necessarily sure what's going on. It

7:23

doesn't make a ton of sense to me. But

7:25

I don't know how the thing is built. And

7:28

I mean, this isn't this isn't my actual job either.

7:30

So I'm sure developers out there could give a better

7:33

answer. But to me, it feels

7:35

like you have to you have probably two different

7:37

front end solutions pulling in different

7:39

ways pulling at different times. Why

7:44

the creator one like you're saying it

7:46

doesn't have ones that are on the

7:48

live one. That feels almost backwards to

7:50

me. Yeah, I'd feel like the creator

7:52

one would pull like more frequently. You

7:54

would think that what I would

7:57

think so the fact that it works the other way

7:59

around feels weird. to me. I

8:03

can't fully explain it personally. Personally,

8:05

if I was building this thing, I would expect

8:07

them to act identically.

8:11

I can understand how there would be two different

8:13

entire teams. The team that works on the YouTube

8:15

Studio app is probably a team of people that

8:17

is completely different than the team that works on

8:19

the YouTube app. But why are they doing anything

8:22

other than tapping into the same API? Why?

8:24

So they could, but they could in a different way.

8:27

Okay, why? Maybe they pull comments less

8:30

frequently, whatever. But why? They

8:32

probably don't talk to each other, so they don't necessarily know how the other

8:34

team is doing it. I

8:39

would think that there would be some form

8:41

of standardized thing, but I have no idea.

8:43

I haven't worked at a company in that

8:45

scale, and it just doesn't make

8:47

sense to me at all. So I'm trying to

8:49

make assumptions about something that I don't get how

8:52

it would become that way. Yeah,

8:54

it's a baffling thing, dude. I

8:57

think it's teams not directly communicating

8:59

with each other, accessing the same

9:01

repository, but in different ways, and

9:04

that's creating a frustrating experience. There

9:06

was another discrepancy that I found a while

9:08

back that just completely broke my

9:10

brain. I'm going to see

9:12

if I can pull it up because I sent

9:15

it to our YouTube rep who is a wonderful

9:17

human being and one of my favoritest persons that

9:19

I've ever had the pleasure of dealing

9:22

with at a tech company. Oh,

9:27

this is a funny one. May I be the same repo? All

9:33

right. Anyway,

9:35

what is the... Oh,

9:39

yeah, yeah, yeah. Here

9:42

we go. Here we go. So

9:45

I sent a follow-up in March, so

9:47

a couple of months ago. Creator

9:50

Studio mobile app shows 98 replies

9:52

on this thread. One

9:54

screenshot is showing everything that shows up when I

9:56

scroll all the way down. Come

9:58

on, folks. So you can have a

10:00

look at my screenshots here. This

10:02

is the Creator Studio app. So it even

10:05

managed to log the number of replies there

10:07

are supposed to be. And

10:09

this is great. Here

10:12

we go. And then here is

10:15

everything that comes up. That's all

10:17

of them. That's every reply. There is

10:19

no more room to scroll. It's like eight.

10:22

And when I accessed it publicly, because the

10:24

reason, the reason that I was drawn to

10:26

this one in particular was because I had

10:28

replied to it. So I

10:30

replied to it. And I was

10:33

checking in on replies to my reply, because it

10:35

was an active conversation. I

10:37

not only can only see these

10:39

eight responses, I can't see my

10:41

own fucking message. Ha ha ha.

10:46

When have you had said, are those, is there

10:48

a time thing? So are all those messages from

10:51

before a certain period of time? This

10:54

is what a decent amount of my theory is

10:56

leading up. I think those messages are, I

10:59

think it is truncated here. But

11:01

what I can't imagine is any reason

11:03

why. Yeah, I don't

11:05

know. I think that whatever is pulling

11:07

it is not happening at the same rate that it

11:09

happens on the live. No, because I could go back

11:12

ages later and they still wouldn't be there. Oh. Yeah.

11:15

Yeah, so this is the kind of stuff, you

11:17

guys think you got your new YouTube interface and

11:19

you're all mad about that. Guys, that is the

11:22

least of their problems. They can't even figure out

11:24

how many fucking comments are

11:26

in a chain. Man, I remember

11:28

talking to someone at YouTube about this

11:31

years ago. I was like, look, if

11:33

you guys want to be a social media platform,

11:35

you could be. You could be the biggest social

11:38

media platform practically overnight. But

11:40

you've got to deal with comments.

11:42

You've got to deal with user

11:44

to user interaction because it's

11:46

a cluster bomb right now. And to their

11:48

credit, they've done a lot with

11:51

respect to

11:54

automatic moderation of bots

11:57

and stuff like that. It's not perfect, but it's so

11:59

much. better than it was a year or two ago. But

12:02

the fact that they don't have like a, I

12:05

can't imagine. People aren't posting like

12:07

ASCII tanks anymore, but there sure is a

12:09

lot of other spam. There's a lot less

12:11

porn spam, a lot less, like

12:14

way less and it's far less overt.

12:16

There's no more WhatsApp numbers and usernames.

12:18

They have, they have cut down on

12:20

a lot, look. What I'm seeing a

12:22

ton of, and I'm seeing this ubiquitously

12:24

on every video on the platform is.

12:27

Amazon's groundbreaking new cryptocurrency.

12:30

I haven't actually seen a lot of those lately either. Sorry, go ahead.

12:34

Is replies that

12:36

look extremely real. And

12:39

then you look at the little photo. Yep. And

12:42

you're like. I still come across a lot of

12:44

those, but like. I see those all the time.

12:46

Dude, what's even the point of those? Those have

12:48

got to perform a lot worse. Yeah, those can't

12:50

be that effective. So in terms of cutting down

12:52

on the. I wouldn't be too surprised if there

12:54

are some. But those comments, a lot of the

12:56

time. The users clicking on profiles, hoping.

12:59

Sure, look, we

13:02

can acknowledge the improvement. If it didn't work, they wouldn't do

13:04

it. But we can acknowledge the improvement. They don't do it

13:06

as much. Yes. Not even close. It's

13:09

improved, it's improved. So the names needing to not

13:11

be like phone numbers and WhatsApp IDs and stuff.

13:13

That's a big improvement. Okay, so I

13:15

know that it's been at least a conversation. I

13:18

don't know internally at Google, but externally

13:20

to Google. Sure. For years.

13:22

What they should be doing is they should be

13:24

doing more of a Reddit style

13:27

upvoting and downvoting system if they really want

13:29

to improve comment quality. Do they

13:31

not? Can you not downvote? You can

13:33

upvote and downvote. But what you can't have

13:36

is conversation threads

13:39

within a parent comment. Okay,

13:42

so you can't have multiple branches off of

13:44

a parent. That actually gets pretty

13:46

confusing. When people are replying to each other, that

13:49

does get confusing. So this ended up

13:51

on, speaking of Reddit, this ended up

13:53

on the LTT subreddit when I replied

13:55

to someone on The

13:58

pool cleaning robot video. The

14:00

and people started kind of saying

14:02

one is a super aggressive in

14:04

defensive here. When. They thought I

14:07

was replying to the parent comment. But.

14:09

What I was actually replying to.

14:12

Was. One of the comments that

14:14

was a sub com and under

14:16

it by the original poster. So.

14:19

It would because I added them be.

14:21

Assumption was that it was replying to

14:23

the parent comment, but it wasn't I

14:26

was. I was directly addressing things that

14:28

they had said. And

14:31

when some people noticed the more like

14:33

i'm actually Cooper like oh what he

14:35

said makes way more sense because he

14:37

was actually replying to a completely different

14:39

comment. But it gets even better. and

14:41

this is most this is where I'm

14:43

going with this or time back to

14:45

the mobile app When I sort by

14:47

newest I can't see if a comment

14:49

is a parent or child com it.

14:53

So. I never even knew. That

14:55

the original post existed. I

14:58

replied directly to us there reply to

15:00

their own comment not knowing that it

15:02

was a child comment rather than a

15:05

parent comments. So when I saw some

15:07

of the band was to what I

15:09

said I was completely thrown for a

15:11

loop. Was like. Oh.

15:15

You tube A you tube you to. but we

15:17

can't. Live with the of we can't

15:19

live without Cs. Hey. Thanks for

15:22

this career and he who spotify

15:24

what city do. What can they

15:26

do to make this right? Because

15:28

I mean, it's not going to do us any

15:30

good to just say spotify bad. He played them

15:32

forever. What? What can they do? Know. Some.

15:35

Noticed or credit would probably be good. At.

15:38

The very reason enough? Oh.

15:40

how much is a ninety dollar devices is

15:42

not a cheap does this is not some for

15:44

meme products this is something people bought for

15:46

nearly a hundred u s dollars i mean

15:48

probably one hundred bucks by the time they pay

15:51

for shipping for an eye out of north

15:53

decrease of that but whatever in the neighborhood

15:55

of one hundred u s dollars us like meme

15:57

i bought it at the dollar store money

16:01

Yeah, um, I

16:06

don't know. You

16:09

have to be able to stop supporting

16:11

things eventually. Yeah, that's a really good

16:13

point. And whatever reason they did it

16:15

for, the way it

16:17

interfaces with Spotify is not in a

16:19

generic way that will continue to work

16:22

until some unforeseeable time

16:24

in the future. So yeah,

16:27

you've got to be able to discontinue stuff, but

16:29

like this clearly isn't right. Too early. Um,

16:31

they did stop selling it what a year and

16:34

a half ago. So that's good. You should pro

16:36

I believe you should give it more legs than

16:38

that. Um, and then I mean,

16:40

it isn't turning off for another seven months. So it

16:42

will have been two and a half years by the

16:44

time it actually turns off. In my

16:47

opinion, you should never really like

16:50

deactivate things. Just

16:53

let them rot eventually.

16:55

I don't

16:57

know. I'd want to see. I don't think you're

16:59

going to be able to a lot. Like my,

17:02

my brain wants to, is thinking about like when,

17:04

when games shut down, we always ask them like,

17:06

Oh, make it so that people can, I don't think that's

17:08

necessarily going to be able to happen. Cause this

17:12

isn't like, you probably can't like plug a USB

17:14

into this thing and like reprogram it. I

17:16

mean, easily. If it's, is it Android based?

17:19

Does anyone know? Cause if it is, then

17:21

you almost, I've never seen one. I

17:23

need it. So I could be wrong. You

17:25

a hundred percent can't. Okay. Well, then they should

17:27

do that. Yeah. I mean, and look, it's Linux

17:29

space. Why don't they

17:31

do that? Okay. People just do that anyway. Can I make

17:33

an argument? Hold on, hold on, hold

17:36

on. It's hackable. One second. I

17:38

know, but we're going to get there. We're going to get,

17:40

get, get, give me a second. All right. I can understand.

17:42

I was hanging out with, I was having a good time.

17:44

I know that. I know. That's why I took it away.

17:48

I just hate seeing joy on this. I, I

17:54

can understand why they might not necessarily

17:57

be able to do that. There may

17:59

be intellectual property concerns

18:01

in the code, right? Oh,

18:04

yeah. Okay. There could be. There

18:06

could be. However, I think

18:10

at the very least, some

18:13

kind of nudge-nudge or

18:17

facilitation for

18:19

the open source community to take

18:21

it over is in order here. I

18:23

understand why legal might not have

18:26

allowed it, but I hate this. This

18:28

is such a terrible precedent.

18:31

It's such a terrible way of behaving as

18:33

a company that it almost doesn't really matter

18:36

what the legal advice was. You've got to find a way

18:38

to do the right thing. Yeah.

18:41

And the right thing is obviously

18:43

to make it able to

18:45

continue to work. Yeah. And the

18:47

very, very least they could have done is to

18:49

not actively brick it. So apparently people have already

18:51

done a USB unlock of it. There's already a

18:53

jailbreak. Yes. What I think would

18:56

be pretty

18:59

sick, in my opinion. There's apparently a

19:01

subreddit already. I love it. Carthinghacks.

19:03

Nice. What I think

19:06

would be pretty sick is if they gave some

19:08

Spotify developer time to the

19:10

open source project. I think

19:12

that would be such, even if they're

19:14

still going to shut it down in December or

19:16

whatever, I think

19:18

that would be such a good faith,

19:22

good guy move that people would be

19:24

willing to look past a lot

19:26

of the crappiness of this situation overall. Yeah, because

19:28

it's not great. It hasn't been conducted great so

19:30

far. And they can't commit. I'm just going

19:33

to defend them slightly. They can't commit to

19:35

this forever. No, you can't support something forever.

19:37

But if they're like, all right. And that's

19:39

the problem with smart devices. That's why I

19:41

didn't buy that floor cleaning robot. Yeah. Because

19:45

I told you about that conversation, right? Where I

19:47

was like, okay, but like... What happens if you

19:49

go bankrupt? Does it operate without your cloud thing?

19:51

And they're like, well, Yeah, it's

19:53

not going to go away. I'm like, right. But If

19:55

it does, what happens? Is It a brick? Well, yeah,

19:57

but we're doing great. We're not going to go away.

20:00

You fucking idiot. By

20:03

a little illegal immigrants. eighteen thousand dollars or

20:05

something. They are more than that kind of

20:07

money on something. The just turns off a

20:09

lot of things like that like infrastructure like

20:11

that is gonna be in deployment for the

20:14

entire existence of that build a i suspect

20:16

that robot to work for twenty five years?

20:18

I don't think. I don't know. Even if

20:20

somebody has to wonder you to get acquired

20:22

by someone who doesn't get to sits above

20:25

for cleaning robots. Maybe they want to use

20:27

your your automatic firing technology her military application

20:29

or something. Else here but my stupid

20:31

badminton buildings yes he later he never

20:33

know if don't know yeah. But

20:36

so the i think I think that

20:38

would us to be very cool is

20:40

this spot. If I sorted Roper's spotify

20:43

software engineers were given a little bit

20:45

of time. It has to be

20:47

limited, is on a bill to be a

20:49

thunder discontinuous for reasons, but it is not

20:51

a decent amount of time enough time to

20:53

make a really solid. Ah

20:56

contribution to the open source projects.

20:58

Don't take it over. Don't

21:01

have anyone become leads on it or anything, but

21:03

try to contribute. Really have leads to a point

21:06

where the open source community is a pretty stoked

21:08

on it. And then just let them

21:10

have it. And lease. And

21:15

that's not like a. Happy.

21:17

Ending. But. It didn't need something.

21:20

L and a second device. And

21:24

him sooner than source that does exist. On

21:28

sister cysts. Ah

21:32

right. Oh man, what is our

21:34

next topic going to be? Imagine

21:36

a message and. The

21:40

fact that. This

21:42

is not a good sign. He's.

21:44

Never had this problem for been

21:46

cancelled in a while to. Be

21:50

like yeah, you know what? This is a

21:52

good enough I be sensitive priests contributing toed

21:54

boots. matter

21:57

like having that Open

22:03

source, open legs. I need some people to test

22:05

this one. You gotta push the contributing code,

22:07

then you gotta pull it. I'm

22:10

on the alpha version of the new thing.

22:13

I need a really action on

22:16

12.0. Works

22:18

with Android 15. Oh

22:21

man. Alrighty, you wanna pick our

22:23

next topic? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should we do

22:25

our new channel? Yeah, actually.

22:29

I wanna see, cause I think a lot of

22:31

people don't know that it's live, I wanna see

22:33

comments live of what people think of

22:36

the voice and stuff, cause it's a relatively short video

22:38

so people could go watch it. No, we're gonna watch

22:40

it. I mean, it's on our own video. Yeah, we

22:42

can react to our own video, dang it. We can

22:44

do that? We can do that. It's the internet? It's

22:47

online, it's brought to you by

22:49

Secret Lab. Yeah,

22:52

there's their logo. Sure, whatever. That

22:55

one's not even legible. Oh, my heart's a real... Yeah. Luke,

22:58

oh. What a guy. It's obviously

23:00

my fault. Alright,

23:03

I've got it loaded up. Dan, are they able to

23:05

hear? If I do stuff, why don't

23:07

I do a couple pings? You can make sure my

23:09

audio's working. Yep, I can see that coming through. It's

23:11

here, folks. I'm just gonna play it for you, we're

23:13

gonna watch it together, and we're gonna talk about how

23:16

it came to be. Can we

23:18

hear that's the question? Ah,

23:20

I mean, Luke and I have listened to it, but I'm

23:22

sure whatever. Hopefully we can, but yeah. Yeah,

23:24

it'd be nice. I'll see what I can do.

23:26

Okay. I hear it now. Alright.

23:30

Linus lap. That's

23:32

what the button says. Okay. What?

23:36

It's a fully modular ATX powered

23:39

by with a single fan mode. The power supply

23:41

comes in reasonable packaging and measures 150 by 86

23:43

by 140 millimeters. Considering

23:48

cable flexibility, it has an effective depth

23:50

of 175 millimeters. The

23:53

Corsair RN750E is accompanied by the accessories

23:55

as shown and supported by a seven

23:57

year warranty. This warranty period is as

24:00

expected for a power supply of

24:02

this class. The fully modular cables

24:04

are of acceptable quality. They have

24:07

plastic insulation and are moderately flexible.

24:09

The provided cable set includes a

24:11

single 12V high power cable, allowing

24:13

it to power all types of

24:15

high-wattage GPUs. LTT Labs conducted

24:18

all of the following testing at an

24:20

ambient temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The

24:22

full test suite, including tests at extended

24:25

temperature ranges, is available on the Labs

24:27

website linked in the description. But before

24:29

we get to the results, here's a

24:32

message from our sponsor. The Corsair RM750E

24:34

carries an 80-plus gold rating, and we

24:36

measure 90% efficiency at 50% of

24:40

its maximum rated load. That's equivalent to

24:42

power supplies in a similar class. Throughout

24:45

the full rated output power range of 750 watts, there was a 0.162V

24:47

drop on the 12V

24:52

rail, which is within ATX specifications

24:54

and similar to most other power

24:56

supplies we've tested. Most of

24:59

the output rails met ATX specifications. This

25:01

stability should provide a steady platform for

25:03

the operation of other components in the

25:05

computer. The peak-to-peak signal ripple

25:07

of the fully loaded power supplies 12V

25:10

rail was averaged for its price and

25:12

wattage at 31mV. The

25:14

5V and 3.3V rails had signal ripple of 17mV and 21mV respectively.

25:22

Modern power supplies typically have no

25:24

issue complying with ATX ripple stacks,

25:26

and this unit is no different.

25:28

We test the power supplies resilience

25:31

to momentary power dropouts and ripples

25:33

using our brownout test that interrupts

25:35

the input power for a few

25:37

milliseconds. This allows us to measure

25:39

how long of a power dropout

25:41

the sample can sustain without interrupting

25:43

the output power. The Corsair RM750E

25:46

was measured to withstand 13ms and 14ms dropout at

25:48

full rated load for 115V

25:52

and 230V inputs respectively. This

25:56

unit performs similarly to other power

25:58

supplies. The Excursion test momentarily

26:00

applies up to 200% of

26:02

the rated load to test

26:04

a power supply's ability to

26:06

support components that may temporarily

26:08

require more than their rated

26:10

current. The Corsair RM750E withstood

26:12

a subset of the excursions

26:14

but failed with others. It's

26:16

compatible with most systems but

26:18

may struggle with high-end hardware

26:21

connecting. The Corsair RM750E is

26:23

equipped with the protection as listed, providing

26:25

the full suite of protections for you

26:27

and your equipment. We measured the over

26:29

power protection to engage at a maximum of 131% of

26:31

rated load while

26:34

the 12-volt rail alone is capable of 81 amps, 130% of

26:36

its rating. This

26:40

is equivalent to similarly rated power

26:42

supplies offering good protection against component

26:44

faults while also allowing the power

26:46

drop to slightly exceed the official rating.

26:48

We can recommend the Corsair RM750E because

26:50

of its good load and line regulation

26:52

and resilience to cross loads. For full

26:55

specifications and test results, follow the link

26:57

to the product page on the LTT

26:59

Labs website. All right. So

27:02

let's talk about it. I jotted

27:04

down some notes from chat while we were going. So

27:08

a couple of these I think I

27:10

can just answer immediately. A couple of these maybe become discussion.

27:13

One of them is voice too slow. In

27:15

that case, in my opinion, just adjust the

27:18

video playback speed. You know,

27:20

it's funny because I actually saw some comments

27:22

saying that it was too fast on

27:24

full plane. Adjust the video playback speed. Yeah,

27:28

like not too fast. Someone said that normally

27:30

they watch at one and a half speed

27:32

and they had to slow this one down

27:34

to 1x. Interesting. So it's going to depend

27:36

on your familiarity with the subject material, I

27:38

think. I suspect people are saying like the

27:40

voice cadence is off and stuff. That'll improve

27:42

over time. Considering

27:45

where we started. It's way better.

27:47

The first time we previewed this was

27:49

probably about three or

27:51

four months ago, something like that. Man,

27:56

this is a big improvement. It will consistently improve.

28:00

that I saw were like it's not taking

28:02

like breaks to breathe. I mean

28:05

it doesn't breathe so that

28:07

makes sense. I heard a breath though. I heard it

28:09

take a breath. Did you really? It's just meditating. It

28:11

doesn't like pause. Like

28:13

there's the sentence pauses or not. Yeah it doesn't run

28:15

out of air. Yeah. I noticed

28:18

that as well. Yeah so like stuff

28:20

like that will be improved over time.

28:22

Yep. Someone said I'd stop watching. That's

28:24

completely fine. Yeah. One of the reasons

28:27

why people have been asking why we

28:29

chose AI voice for this because

28:31

these aren't gonna make like any money at all

28:35

and there's like. Well it's not just

28:37

that. These are not gonna get any views. Which

28:40

is why that's going to be a thing.

28:42

Which is why they're not gonna drive any

28:44

revenue. And I suspect watch time isn't necessarily

28:46

gonna be amazing stuff like that. There's comments

28:48

like I'd stop watching not enough emotion stuff

28:50

like that. It's not supposed to be hyped

28:52

up really exciting

28:55

interesting content to watch. It's supposed to be like

28:57

I am interested in

28:59

purchasing this product. I

29:01

would like a very on-the-point

29:04

information heavy cookie

29:06

cutter video. Third-party

29:08

validated. Give

29:11

me the information and then if you're interested in diving

29:13

into more because you saw one part that you found

29:15

is interesting then you can jump to the labs website

29:17

and get more info there. It's not it's that I

29:20

don't suspect unless you're like oh I really

29:22

just freaking love power supplies dude.

29:26

I don't expect you're gonna watch every video on this channel. I

29:28

suspect the subscriber conversion for a channel like this

29:30

is not gonna be super high. But

29:34

if this was back in the day and I was building

29:36

computers this is the exact type of stuff I would have

29:38

tried to find. Because this is why I would look at

29:40

content on YouTube was because I wanted to see video

29:43

of the thing out of the box. That

29:46

was like a hundred percent what I was looking for. I

29:48

didn't care about the unboxing experience. I wanted to see the

29:50

thing after it was out of the box and

29:52

to verify some assumptions I was making. And there's

29:54

gonna be people that are gonna watch a lot

29:57

of videos on the channel. Sure. But they're not

29:59

gonna subscribe for entertainment. unless maybe they work in

30:01

the industry. Like if my

30:03

job was procurement at a system integrator

30:07

and I was just like, oh, well, this is

30:09

convenient. If these guys are just gonna test every

30:11

power supply and I can just get a notification

30:13

on my phone so I can make sure that

30:15

I'm keeping up with what's good because it's like

30:17

my job, absolutely, I

30:19

could see someone subscribing, but for the average

30:21

builder who's putting together a system for their

30:25

roommate this quarter and doing

30:27

something for their sister for six months

30:29

later. You're not gonna subscribe to it,

30:31

but it's very likely you'll watch one

30:33

of them. Or you know what, we

30:35

haven't given much thought to playlists, I

30:37

guess. It just popped into

30:39

my head. Maybe, maybe, Jake Belvance is

30:42

the channel manager for this. But I don't

30:44

think we've given a ton of thought to

30:46

that yet. But something that would

30:48

be cool is if we had playlists that

30:50

are at various wattage ranges or

30:53

playlists that are at various price points. Price points

30:55

will be tough because they're gonna change. So unless

30:57

we had a way to, unless

31:00

there's a way to hook into YouTube's API

31:02

and manage your playlists automatically or something like

31:04

that based on pooling real-time pricing information or

31:07

something, I don't think we'll be able to

31:09

do by price. But if we could do

31:11

it by wattage range, for example, then

31:13

that would be a really cool way to go through

31:15

the channel and basically go, okay, out of 500 watt

31:17

power supplies, okay, I wanna learn about some of these.

31:19

Of course, I understand.

31:22

And this is a comment that I saw,

31:24

I guess it was over on floatplane, where

31:28

someone was like, this doesn't seem, or maybe it's

31:30

on Twitter, this doesn't

31:32

seem to add a lot compared to reading an

31:34

article. You

31:37

are right. The correct

31:39

format for a power supply

31:41

one pager is

31:43

a page, not a video. But

31:46

what we have to recognize is

31:49

the realities that

31:51

exist in the tech sphere, in

31:53

the media sphere, that

31:56

have made it so that this abomination is

31:58

now how you will find out. about

32:01

the testing data of a power supply.

32:04

Viewer habits have changed to video. The

32:07

money that used to be in written media is

32:10

functionally gone compared to how it

32:13

was in the early to mid

32:15

to even late 2000s. People will

32:17

not read something. People will not

32:20

read something. And even if they

32:22

did, that site that writes

32:24

that thing that no one's reading would

32:26

have an extremely

32:29

difficult time surviving. So

32:32

the equipment that's involved in this and

32:34

the personnel that's involved in this is

32:38

so expensive. I just don't see a path

32:40

where you could do this testing in a

32:42

written format, unless it was, like

32:46

to my point earlier about being very interesting to

32:48

people who are in the industry, unless it was

32:50

like a paid subscription or something like that. But

32:52

that's not where we wanna go, at

32:54

least with the basics of is this thing okay

32:56

to buy? What kind

32:58

of computer can it power? What kind of,

33:00

do its safety protections actually work? Like that's

33:02

not something that we want to paywall. I

33:06

do think that there could be more detailed

33:08

testing data that might only really be useful

33:10

to people who are going, okay, can

33:13

we procure thousands

33:16

of these for our systems for next quarter or

33:18

something like that? And okay, an

33:20

example of that. I have an

33:22

extremely particular type of load that I need to

33:24

put on this. Sure. In the

33:26

long term, I can see us scaling up the

33:29

number of those chroma testing units that we have

33:31

and we could go, okay, yeah, I mean, or

33:34

even do like paid testing. Yeah, we'll test

33:36

10 instead of just one.

33:38

We'll test 10, we'll run your suite on it,

33:40

whatever. Yeah, or whatever the case may be. So

33:43

in the long term, there's all kinds of

33:45

different directions that we can go with it.

33:47

But the reality is, if we want this

33:49

content to exist, we've got to

33:51

go where the reader is. And

33:54

the reader is now watching in video form. So,

33:58

and how many people? people, that's a big

34:01

question mark, right? Is one of the answers

34:03

we were trying to find when we were

34:05

working on the concept for this channel because

34:08

this channel exists because we want to make

34:10

it. We want this information to be available.

34:12

But one of the things that we had to figure

34:14

out is, okay, how do we make this self-sufficient? The

34:17

question wasn't even how do we make money. The

34:20

question was, how do we make this make any

34:22

sense? Because don't

34:25

kid yourself. This is a creative company.

34:27

We're a media organization. If you don't

34:29

think that there were some misgivings internally

34:32

around AI voice, for

34:34

example. Come on, guys. There

34:37

were absolutely misgivings, but the way that

34:40

we're looking at it and the way

34:42

that we've messaged it internally is, look,

34:44

this is not replacing human intervention. A

34:46

human developed this test suite and a

34:49

human needs to test this power supply.

34:52

By the time we do that, I'm sorry,

34:54

but there isn't for the

34:57

two to 4,000 views we're going to get

34:59

on this video, there just

35:01

isn't any budget for

35:04

the media side of things. In the long term,

35:06

I want that to change. I

35:08

would love for that to change. I would love for

35:10

every... Look, I would

35:12

love in the longer term for us to be able to count on 100,000

35:15

or 200,000 views per

35:17

video and for us to go, okay, let's scale

35:19

it up. Why are we doing this all

35:21

cookie cutter now that we've

35:23

got this momentum? I

35:26

don't know if it'll ever get there. It starts performing like that?

35:28

Sure. I don't see it happening,

35:31

personally. I see it happening

35:34

in spikes. I suspect if some

35:36

flagship GPU comes out and we

35:39

have a GPU equivalent of power supply

35:42

circuit, so I'm making multiple assumptions here,

35:45

it could be a banger. I think

35:48

the day-to-day releases of that channel are not

35:50

going to be able to... You might be

35:52

right. See, I'd be happy to be wrong.

35:55

But one of the tough

35:58

conversations that I had to have with someone... someone

36:00

who to their credit approached

36:03

me about it, approached

36:05

me with the concerns, right? Like that's what

36:07

we want. So they approached me with the

36:09

concerns and they basically went, look,

36:11

I have serious ethical concerns.

36:14

I have serious creative concerns.

36:17

I don't understand who this is for.

36:21

Help explain it to me. I

36:23

basically went, okay, here's the

36:25

situation. We went and we looked at

36:27

the very

36:30

few channels that are left that are

36:32

even trying to do dedicated videos on

36:34

power on an individual power supply skew.

36:38

We are expecting at the

36:40

very best, at the very,

36:42

very possible best, somewhere

36:45

in the neighborhood of like five to

36:47

10,000 views on

36:49

average for each of these videos. That

36:51

puts our budget somewhere in the neighborhood

36:53

of 10 to

36:56

$25. What

36:58

would you have me do? I

37:01

want people to have this information. I

37:04

need to get it to them in video. My

37:07

options are either that I outsource

37:09

to some place where I

37:11

can pay like slave labor wages,

37:14

which we have never done. And

37:16

I have never been comfortable

37:18

with. Or we pay

37:20

proper wages to the testers,

37:23

to the people who are working on creating

37:25

this data. We try to find

37:27

a way to scale that from 10 to

37:30

$25 to maybe we can scrape

37:32

together some affiliate revenue to

37:35

make sure that this is sustainable in that form.

37:37

And we lean on automated tools

37:39

as much as we have to, to

37:42

make this even remotely have a chance. And

37:46

they kind of went, well, I hope the voice

37:48

can be better. And at least it is

37:50

better than it was. It's a lot better

37:52

in my opinion. And I do, like I

37:54

said earlier, suspect there will be continual improvement

37:56

there. One thing that

37:58

I disliked a lot was when it was

38:00

your voice, when it was a modification of your

38:03

voice. Yep, I can see that. That was odd

38:05

for me. I didn't like that. So the funny

38:07

thing is, one of the reasons that we had

38:09

actually leaned that way initially was that there

38:11

seemed to be less community

38:14

backlash to cloning my

38:16

voice versus cloning a random one

38:18

because I don't know why,

38:20

but it seems like the perception was less

38:22

that we replaced a voice actor with

38:25

an AI and the perception was more

38:28

we are applying an

38:31

efficiency factor to Linus's time

38:34

by saving him the trouble of reading the lines. And

38:38

the distinction is arbitrary, but

38:41

that voice sounding like me made

38:43

it an extension of me

38:45

instead of... This whole landscape

38:47

is weird to navigate right now. Oh, I

38:49

know, right? It's true because

38:52

we're all figuring out how

38:54

we feel about these things and where the lines are

38:56

and stuff. And while that's

38:58

still happening, it's just a little

39:00

tricky, but I think this

39:02

is okay. And I like the idea of if the

39:04

channel does start performing well, we could get talent for

39:07

it or whatever. That's interesting. I do

39:09

suspect the quoted number of views that you

39:11

just said, I think some of the videos

39:13

on these channels are going to do a

39:15

lot worse than that. Oh yeah. And I

39:17

think some of the videos on these channels will smash that out

39:19

of the park. I think so too. I

39:22

think... It's going to be very up and

39:24

down, I think. Very inconsistent. Here's

39:26

something that I bet

39:29

you guys didn't necessarily realize is

39:31

the AI voice is not the only

39:34

automation tool that's being used for

39:36

these videos. I

39:39

feel like I knew that. A

39:41

human editor only watches the output. Of

39:47

the video? Yeah.

39:51

So the reason

39:53

the script is a little

39:55

bit formulaic sounding is because

39:57

it's actually a template. You're

40:00

doing the same shots. So are you are you

40:02

naming the files in a certain way? Is that

40:04

how it's doing it? So all the shots will

40:07

be the same all the

40:09

graphics will be the same with the

40:11

same names ish The

40:13

exact details of how it's done are gonna be Ed's

40:15

department not mine, right? but

40:17

then the the the

40:19

the little cut the little color commentary

40:21

because that was something we realized about the

40:24

first one that needed to be Fixed

40:26

it had no context. It was just like

40:29

The boat however point whatever millowripples like

40:31

it didn't it didn't sound like anything

40:33

if you don't already understand it Right.

40:35

Yeah, and so I was like, okay

40:37

look guys We have to come

40:39

up with a way to create

40:41

a script that allows for some

40:44

color commentary Or we

40:46

are gonna completely lose any chance we could

40:48

possibly have of people watching this thing and

40:50

learning anything So when it

40:52

says this is as expected

40:54

for power supplies of this class There's

40:58

basically variables. There's almost like a drop-down

41:00

box. This is worse than expected. This

41:02

is better than expected This is as

41:04

expected So when it did like the

41:07

cables are of acceptable bendiness or whatever

41:09

the cables are of exceptional bendiness the

41:11

cables are of subpar bendiness Compared

41:14

to our expectations and now a

41:16

human is involved in in bending

41:19

those cables and seeing okay Yeah,

41:21

we know the depth of the power supply But like

41:23

really what can you fit it because that was something

41:25

that I asked to be added Because the depth of

41:27

a power supply doesn't tell you what case it can

41:29

fit in you need to know once accounting for cable

41:31

Bendiness how deep it is, right? So

41:34

that was something that that's something that a

41:36

human needs to do. This is not AI

41:38

content This is highly human

41:40

created content that

41:43

is edited together and voiced

41:47

by automation tools It's

41:51

Something that I have no idea if it's gonna work

41:54

But Boy do I ever hope so given how much

41:56

we've invested in it because I Don't think the labs

41:58

website on its own is going. The have

42:00

a chance of agree to any

42:02

kind of break even point. It's

42:04

gotta be something that can be

42:06

funded by the other branches of

42:08

our company and that. Are

42:11

and and that will allow us to reinvest in it

42:13

and continue to build. We have some ideas to help

42:15

it. But it was kind of

42:17

struggle with. Him. Citing

42:22

right. One. Excited!

42:27

Oh right, we're supposed to emerge as

42:29

I'm excited to sell ya about those.

42:31

Ah, do we have any store updates

42:34

that we're supposed to talk about? I

42:36

haven't looked at that part of the

42:38

Oh oh yes we have a huge

42:40

promotion that we're running right now on

42:42

the L T T screwdriver. This applies

42:45

to any screwdriver. That's right, it's classic

42:47

colors, retro not you are or study

42:49

if you buy any Ltd screwdriver by

42:51

Ah oh really? by midnight today. While.

42:54

That's a really short Roth. Okay, you'll

42:56

be entered into draw to win either

42:58

a giant Ltd screwdriver. Check. That

43:00

out. Oh, that's from that

43:02

stream we did earlier this week. Or.

43:05

A twenty two hundred dollar gaming

43:07

Pc As soon on our Pc

43:10

building stream this last Wednesday for

43:12

the full detail, the legal insults

43:14

you gotta go to elsehesaw.com/products/screwdriver Ah

43:16

so. Anyway, or one

43:18

of the things that you can do if you

43:20

decide to order a screwdriver right now is you

43:22

can leave a merge message in the shopping cart.

43:25

We don't want to just take your money, just

43:27

you for your money, your screen and than what

43:29

we like. Acknowledge your comment na na na na

43:31

na. You should leave emerge message so you can

43:33

throw money at your screen and get great quality

43:35

merchandise. In the mail in the cart you'll

43:37

see a little box. Whenever realize to leave

43:39

emerged message it will go to Producer Dance

43:41

who will pop up on the bottom down

43:44

there like that reply to it, forward it

43:46

internally to someone who can best get you

43:48

an answer or. Presents

43:50

curated certain arts.

43:53

So. Mad at. The. buttons broken

43:55

down for sex or as an evil carried it

43:57

for me and luke to address on the show. Dan,

43:59

do you want to hit us with a merch message

44:01

to show the folks how it works? Sure, absolutely. Yeah,

44:04

we've got a few here. Let's see. Would

44:06

you make an Apple leather jacket? No.

44:11

So. Please

44:17

make a medium tall. I need to replace my leather jacket

44:19

so bad. No. Please.

44:24

You know how we did? We don't have a tall shirt yet, Dan. We're

44:26

losing this war. I don't care.

44:28

I will have them custom tailor me one.

44:32

You know how we did that mock neck? Yeah.

44:34

That we called the Steve, where it had the seam

44:36

down the middle, just like his iconic. Okay.

44:41

So I had. Oh no. I

44:44

had. The Jensen? The

44:46

Steve Apple? I had planned. So Matthew

44:49

from Creator Warehouse, his AMD Ultimate Tech upgrade

44:52

is coming up. Okay. And I

44:54

don't know if it's going to make it into the cut

44:56

because it's sponsored by AMD. So who

44:58

knows what the... It

45:00

might not make it through our own internal business

45:02

team, you know, whatever. And it's

45:05

not like it matters in terms of

45:07

our editorial integrity if we can talk

45:10

about a future product or whatever. So

45:12

it's not the kind of thing, that's not the kind of hill we're going to die on.

45:15

So it might not make it through our internal team. It might not

45:17

make it through AMD. But one of

45:20

the things that happened in that video is

45:23

Matthew and I decided

45:25

to tease a potential upcoming product

45:27

called... The Jensen.

45:30

The Jensen. Because we wanted to do a leather jacket

45:32

for a while. I don't know what kind

45:34

of leather we'd use. We actually haven't gotten that far. But

45:36

one of the things we have decided is that the jacket

45:38

will be designed by AI. Because

45:42

of course it would. He's

45:47

already got some really great concepts.

45:49

So obviously, because, you know, we

45:51

have designers, we would make

45:53

it actually function in the real world. But

45:55

it would have like pockets that

45:57

don't open. Zippers

46:00

that don't go anywhere. At least it doesn't have

46:02

to do hands. You know AI things. The

46:05

AI jacket. The Jensen. Huh?

46:07

Dan? Dan? Huh? If

46:10

it's in a medium tall, I will buy two. Right?

46:13

I think that's sick. W-PAL-3-E-2 in

46:15

floatplane chat has

46:19

summarized my thoughts so far of that's

46:21

gonna be a really expensive joke. How

46:24

many do you think you're gonna sell? You're gonna

46:26

sell two today? It's gonna be a really expensive

46:29

joke. But he's gonna use his employee thing so

46:31

you'll make nothing. I'll pay out of pocket. I

46:33

don't care. Dude, I guarantee you. I guarantee you.

46:35

Okay guys, come on. Let's hear from you. Who

46:37

wants one? Dan? I think we

46:39

need to get a poll in here. Oh, yeah, right away.

46:41

Yeah Firefox. Let's get

46:44

that poll and besides and besides

46:46

if it doesn't sell. In the

46:48

de-Google-fire-life video, one of the

46:50

top comments was like along with all the floatplane users.

46:52

I am 70% of people that use Firefox or something

46:54

like that. I don't remember the exact sign and I

46:57

burst out laughing. I was like, ahh! But

47:00

think about it this way, Luke. Even if we don't

47:02

sell any of them infinite

47:04

money glitch, we just write them off. Alright,

47:12

we'll get that going. You mad? Are you

47:14

mad bro? I'm voting no.

47:16

Brother, are you angry? I do need

47:18

to replace this jacket though. Why?

47:21

Oh, I'm so excited. I can't find a

47:23

leather tailor to actually work on it. Really?

47:26

I'm looking. I'm trying to find an artist

47:28

collective around here that could recommend an artisan,

47:30

but it's very very difficult. I

47:32

know a person who works with leather goods

47:35

who lives on Vancouver Island because he

47:37

came to LTX.

47:39

Oh. Yeah, you're not talking

47:41

about that person, are you? Is

47:44

it someone I know? No. Okay, never mind. I

47:47

can't find any company that makes them anymore. Yeah,

47:52

well bummer for Dan. Yeah, so yeah, maybe

47:54

we'll get him a Jensen. Okay.

47:57

Where's our where's our please? pockets

48:00

that don't open and zippers that are to nothing?

48:03

Do you want that? Is that a good, is that

48:05

a, does that, does that? Clothes. Is that more interesting?

48:07

Clothes are supposed to be self-expression. Artistic

48:10

self-expression. And in this

48:12

case. I gotta remember this. The person who

48:14

has one brand of socks and one... Right.

48:16

I've been wearing one jacket for ten years.

48:18

No, one brand of T-shirts. Ten years I've

48:20

been wearing this jacket. In this case. I

48:22

haven't even changed my shoes in a decade.

48:24

In this case, the use... I have just

48:26

multiple pairs of the same one to be

48:28

clear. The use of AI actually makes sense.

48:30

It's so meta. Like, it's

48:32

an, it could be an ironic expression of like... It's

48:34

not, it's not meta. It's in video. Of like, hating

48:37

AI. It

48:39

needs a little pocket. Where's the ding? It

48:41

needs a pocket. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm

48:43

talking about. That's the first time I've had

48:45

to do that for Luke. He deserves it.

48:47

Disgusting. Disgusting. It

48:50

needs to have a pocket on the, on the, like, chest

48:53

for your humane pin. Yeah,

48:59

but it should be like the wrong size. Yeah,

49:01

yeah, yeah. Because AI has no concept of scale. It doesn't

49:03

fit. It doesn't fit. It

49:05

doesn't fit. Rabbit.

49:08

And then like a slop to the rabbit. Well, they could add

49:10

a rabbit leather. Ooh. 45,000

49:14

dollar jacket. That's a

49:16

lot of rabbits. Mood murdered. Yeah. Oh,

49:19

hey. It just be Android anyway. Sorry. Were we

49:21

supposed to be on a topic right now? Because

49:23

I actually wanted to come back to PSU circuit

49:25

a little bit. That was the second

49:28

merch message? That was one merch. Oh, that was one.

49:30

Okay. Hit me again and I'm just going to leave this page open

49:32

so I don't forget to talk. Okay, yeah, sure. Same

49:34

sort of thing. Curious about the

49:36

amount of stolen items found during tech upgrade

49:38

videos. Were the items actually considered stolen? Or

49:40

is this just a joke about the amount

49:42

of stuff employees take back with them? Both?

49:46

A little bit of both, I think. Yeah, both of them. Okay.

49:49

Sorry, I was eating jerky. Okay,

49:55

so part of it is... that

50:01

I was a little

50:04

bit legitimately annoyed in

50:06

some of the very early ones to

50:09

find work property in

50:11

people's homes. Nothing that

50:14

mattered in

50:17

the grand scheme of things. What were some of

50:19

those things? Like cables. Like

50:21

a cheap USB dock that

50:24

realistically we didn't pay for and

50:26

probably they intended to return at

50:28

some point because remember we started

50:30

this series when work from home

50:32

was a lot more common at

50:35

our company because of

50:37

all the COVID lockdowns and stuff right?

50:39

So people had a lot of stuff

50:41

at home that they

50:44

were probably going to return it but

50:46

it wasn't asset tagged

50:48

inventory so nothing would have prevented

50:51

them from just keeping

50:53

it and so it was this kind

50:56

of gray area where

50:58

it kind of started with me

51:01

being like hey come on man

51:03

and then obviously

51:05

I ended up with a lot of false

51:07

positives because legitimately people do end up with

51:10

a lot of stuff that used to belong

51:12

to the company. You know we got LTT

51:14

store? Well we also

51:16

have the LMG store which is where

51:18

people can sometimes get access to. A

51:22

unit that came in for

51:24

B-roll for a sponsor and ended up having cosmetic

51:26

damage and they were like well we don't want

51:28

it back and it goes in the giveaway pile.

51:30

We have a giveaway pile. We

51:33

also have wild Christmas parties

51:35

not in like a tech bro

51:37

Silicon Valley games industry kind of

51:40

way in like wow

51:42

I can't believe the giveaways that

51:45

they're have at this you

51:47

know two drink maximum otherwise

51:49

pretty you know controlled party.

51:52

So people end up with stuff from the Christmas

51:55

party. People end up with we have

51:57

done on occasion in the past. The

52:00

Christmas party is a lot of stuff. It's

52:02

hundreds of things every year. We have done on

52:04

occasion in the past extra credit things that people

52:06

can do for what we call LMG bucks.

52:08

I don't think we've done that in a long

52:11

time. But in the early days... I've never even

52:13

heard of that. Yeah. We

52:15

would have stuff that's like, this power supply has a broken

52:17

fan in it. Linus could open

52:20

it and put a new fan in. Or if

52:22

you wanted to just take

52:25

it home with you and put a new fan in it, then you

52:27

can have 50 LMG bucks or

52:29

something like that. And if you buy

52:31

stuff... That must have been when I was off float

52:33

plane. I've never heard of this. Almost no

52:35

one used it, but this is just an example of one of

52:37

the ways that people could have obtained stuff over the years. I

52:41

used to just get paid in hardware. I

52:43

mean, no. Not by me. Yes.

52:47

Well, popped up. You were above the

52:49

legal limit otherwise. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

52:52

You can't say stuff like that, Luke. People

52:55

are gonna... We

52:58

know how people are. It was fun.

53:00

Anyway. So LMG bucks, for

53:02

stuff that's in our inventory that's used, if

53:04

people want to buy it and we

53:07

don't need it, we don't charge full price for it.

53:09

So people can use LMG bucks to stretch a dollar

53:12

pretty far. Pretty dang far. People

53:14

use LMG bucks a lot. So people

53:16

have stuff that they've bought from work,

53:18

stuff that they have won from work,

53:21

stuff that they've taken home from work for

53:23

legitimate purposes. And in the case

53:25

of Dennis, stuff that they've just taken

53:28

because I don't know, he thinks he has tenure or something. I'm

53:30

not sure how that works in his head. So

53:33

it is a combination of things. And

53:36

like anything, it's been amusing for me to

53:38

see the community speculation around it because the

53:41

number of people that are outraged either

53:44

way is baffling.

53:47

The people that are outraged that

53:49

I am such a,

53:51

I don't know, overbearing,

53:53

horrible boss, that

53:55

I'm gonna be berating someone in public

53:58

over this cable that they... took is

54:02

probably about equal to the number of

54:04

people that hate me for being such

54:07

a disorganized corporate overlord that

54:09

I can't even inspire

54:12

my team in this horrible toxic work environment

54:14

to not be stealing anything that isn't bolted

54:16

down. It's amazing

54:19

how you can just take

54:21

a fucking joke that's just

54:23

a meme and interpret

54:25

it as a meme. I've

54:28

always wondered like if

54:30

we do one at my place what

54:33

stuff like what stuff will not be

54:36

stolen? I

54:38

because a lot of it like I don't even know. Like

54:43

I don't know. Well that's what asset tags are

54:45

for. Yeah but sometimes there's

54:47

asset tags on stuff that was given away. Really?

54:51

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Okay

54:53

well we'll see I might remember. And then I think I

54:55

have like three generations. You know I personally select the items

54:57

for the giveaway every year right? Yeah yeah. So

55:00

I know. But there's three generations of

55:02

computers in my place that are

55:04

from my like weird upgrade thing that I have. Well

55:07

I guess we'll see. I like found

55:09

some graphics cards at my dad's place.

55:13

And I recognize them as work property.

55:15

Yeah. So I think we'll figure it

55:17

out. But I didn't even know. But I did. So

55:20

like it's yeah it might be

55:22

interesting. Guilty? I'm taking stuff

55:27

home. I don't anymore. But like I don't

55:29

know the line used to be a lot more blurry when there

55:32

was like three of us. It

55:34

used to be as simple as like hey

55:36

my GPU died. I want a game this

55:39

weekend and I like don't want

55:41

to go to the store. Yeah. Can

55:43

I borrow a GPU and it'd be like yeah I

55:45

don't take one of the ones we need for this

55:47

review on Tuesday. Yeah I need these ones. It's like

55:49

okay I'll grab some other ones. Yeah it used to

55:51

be pretty loosey. It was pretty fluid. But that was

55:53

that was a really. So the stuff that I have

55:55

is going to be like ancient. I would say these

55:57

days the vast majority of what I'm meaning on on

55:59

camera. I am memeing on. Yeah. It's

56:03

mostly the yeah, it's mostly gonna be the really

56:05

old stuff This

56:08

is why Luke hasn't gotten an upgrade yet says Bell in

56:10

the chat. Yeah, I love it every day Sorry,

56:19

um, right so I had wanted to come back to the

56:21

labs website for a second here Because

56:23

we also have the written version. Yeah

56:25

that video Yeah, which I didn't mention

56:27

before so, you know, that's pretty cool

56:31

but it's just like we want to make

56:33

it so that this work that we're doing is

56:37

digestible easily by as many people as

56:39

possible so we have the written version which is

56:41

as Deep as it's

56:43

gonna get basically and then there's

56:45

also the video version for people that don't

56:47

like reading stuff Yeah, depending

56:50

on you know, what part of the world

56:52

you live in you might be more interested in 115 volt versus 230

56:55

volt Poxication productivity

56:57

might also be easier for you to just

56:59

like Google translate the labs website Yeah,

57:02

that way. Yeah, exactly. So we got that there

57:04

and then this is really cool They also did

57:06

that that an aunt aunt aunt aunt

57:09

and this is co-authored by

57:11

oni our test technician and

57:14

Lucas who is our power supply wizard

57:19

That is to help you power

57:21

up your knowledge and it's basically

57:23

a how to how to watch

57:26

how to read Cool,

57:28

right where they go through our graphing formats

57:30

kind of explain why we've laid

57:32

them out the way that we have how to interpret

57:34

them What matters what doesn't

57:37

this old man? This was This

57:40

was an entire probably half an hour to 45 minutes

57:42

of a meeting this this

57:46

graph and Breaking the sine wave

57:49

and the interruption during the brown out

57:51

off onto this separate graph and

57:55

I got to make one of my best jokes ever in a

57:57

meeting that I think I already alluded to on WAN show before

58:00

So I won't make the best of you suffer. Yeah, I thought

58:02

that was wrong. Hold on one second I think I think you

58:04

slipped on his title is

58:06

senior content writer net technician. Oh Sorry,

58:09

sorry, sorry write it right or right. Yep. Thank you. Thank

58:11

you. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Sorry, he was

58:13

just focusing on the next thing he was gonna say Sorry,

58:18

honey, yeah and do

58:20

your GPU that you got consolation

58:22

prize something She

58:25

was in a video. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, yeah,

58:27

yeah. No, I thought it was a

58:30

pretty sick Anywho,

58:34

so yeah, there was that there was a lot

58:36

of debate about this graph And

58:40

like, you know how to make it more readable So

58:42

yeah, we gave a lot of thought to it And

58:44

if you guys want to know what the thinking was

58:46

and how to interpret it This is a really great

58:48

primer on how to understand if a

58:50

power supply is any good Very

58:54

exciting. Okay. What do you want to talk about next? We're

58:58

off Merch messages, right? We're

59:00

doing other topics. I want to talk

59:02

about the paper set. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

59:04

I want to talk about I just

59:06

read What's on the prompter? Fuck you,

59:08

San Diego the arm windows revolution might

59:10

compact with a privacy nightmare. Oh, I

59:13

know right Okay. All right do

59:15

this. So this was the topic that hit me

59:17

this week I dove into this a little bit,

59:19

but I'm gonna read these notes first and then

59:21

I'll tangent into whatever I'm thinking of This

59:23

week Microsoft officially unveiled its new

59:26

lineup of laptops featuring Qualcomm's 12

59:28

core Snapdragon X Elite and 10

59:32

core Snapdragon X plus chips

59:35

All of which are based on arm. That's like the

59:37

big drop here These laptops

59:39

reportedly have a battery life of

59:41

17 to 20 hours and several

59:44

apparently outperform an M3

59:46

MacBook Air a sorry,

59:48

Suse Dell HP in spiron. I thought

59:50

it was HP in spiron It's

59:53

in spiron a different brand in spiron is

59:56

a Dell brand. So I don't know don't worry about

59:58

it Samsung and Lenovo have

1:00:00

likewise announced new Snapdragon powered laptops,

1:00:02

laptop lineups as well. These

1:00:08

laptops will launch with native

1:00:10

ARM versions of Adobe Photoshop,

1:00:13

Lightroom, Firefly and Express. It's

1:00:16

an interesting setup to not

1:00:18

have Premiere, but it does say

1:00:20

with Premiere and Illustrator coming later

1:00:22

in the summer. Microsoft is no

1:00:25

longer calling these AI PCs, instead

1:00:27

calling them Co-Pilot Plus PCs. Which

1:00:30

really makes me think of GNU

1:00:32

Plus Linux, but anyways. The

1:00:35

company is heavily emphasizing their AI

1:00:38

capabilities, including uncontroversial features like AI

1:00:40

upscaling, but also a recall feature.

1:00:48

This is the one that stood out

1:00:50

to me that has raised some concerns

1:00:52

among privacy advocates. Recall

1:00:57

gives Co-Pilot a kind of literal

1:00:59

photographic memory by taking

1:01:01

an automatic screenshot every

1:01:03

three seconds. This would

1:01:06

store around three months of a

1:01:08

user's recent activity by default. According

1:01:10

to Microsoft, the feature can be

1:01:12

turned on or off and

1:01:14

these snapshots, which the vast majority of

1:01:16

Windows users will never turn it off, because

1:01:19

the vast majority of Windows users never go into

1:01:21

settings and change anything. So keep that in mind.

1:01:24

So you might, most people won't. These

1:01:28

snapshots are encrypted and stored locally

1:01:30

and may be deleted at any

1:01:32

time. Further, users can create blacklists

1:01:34

that prevent recall from taking screenshots

1:01:37

when certain apps or websites are

1:01:39

open. Likewise, these

1:01:41

images are tied to specific user

1:01:43

profiles on the device. Critics,

1:01:46

however, have expressed concern

1:01:48

that the feature could still wind

1:01:50

up capturing sensitive information because of

1:01:53

Coors or

1:02:00

uses a public device with this feature

1:02:02

enabled. The UK's Information

1:02:04

Commissioner's Office has announced that

1:02:06

it will be making inquiries

1:02:08

into potential security issues posed

1:02:10

by the feature. I

1:02:13

mean, this is one of those topics

1:02:16

where we read the thing and then I think

1:02:18

we basically go, that's bad.

1:02:20

Yeah. Yeah.

1:02:23

Yeah. Elijah

1:02:27

in chat, who I don't like

1:02:29

acknowledging because he's supposed to be working, but it's

1:02:31

after hours, so I guess it's fine. Elijah says

1:02:34

for his AMD Ultimate Tech upgrade, which by

1:02:36

the way is coming, oh, he's

1:02:39

gonna switch to Linux over

1:02:42

this feature. Oh. And

1:02:45

you know what? Oh, the base. I don't even blame

1:02:47

him. Base. Even though you can turn it off,

1:02:49

it's like, yeah, you can turn it off now. And

1:02:51

then Windows will update and it'll turn it back on and

1:02:53

it won't tell you. And

1:02:56

we've seen it time and time and time and time again. And

1:02:59

you know what? I think with, man,

1:03:01

with the way that things are developing

1:03:03

right now. Man, that's so based.

1:03:06

On game compatibility on

1:03:08

Linux. My understanding,

1:03:10

and I haven't talked to Emily about

1:03:12

this much, but I have a little

1:03:14

bit because she's been pushing me to

1:03:16

do another SteamOS gaming check-in, or not

1:03:18

SteamOS, gaming on Linux check-in. Okay.

1:03:20

Because it's been a little while. And I kept saying,

1:03:22

look, I wanna do it when SteamOS gets released broadly

1:03:24

and she's all like, yeah, but like, is that ever

1:03:26

gonna happen? I've been like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:03:28

yeah. Now I'm not, I don't know, who knows? Good

1:03:30

question. Yeah, it's a good question. So anyway, we're gonna

1:03:32

do it. But

1:03:35

from that conversation, she was basically saying,

1:03:37

yeah, and Nvidia driver support is looking

1:03:39

like it's gonna get a

1:03:41

lot better, like soon, like they care. Dude,

1:03:47

like is Linux going

1:03:49

to be the gaming

1:03:51

operating system? Wait. And

1:03:55

Windows becomes the like, or like

1:03:57

is Linux gonna be the like

1:03:59

the X80. gaming operating system

1:04:01

and his windows, I mean, looking

1:04:03

how hard Microsoft is pushing,

1:04:05

are they going to become like

1:04:07

the arm, the arm productivity, you

1:04:10

know, operating system, the mobile, like

1:04:12

laptop only operating system. Or computers.

1:04:15

And here's what's really confusing to me about this

1:04:18

is why is Microsoft so focused

1:04:20

on beating the MacBook? Oh,

1:04:22

dude, doesn't this- What the f*** is Apple's market

1:04:25

share even? This interview opens with him talking to

1:04:27

Apple. I know! I know!

1:04:29

It's like the line, it mentions Apple

1:04:31

directly. It's weird. But

1:04:33

here's the thing. This

1:04:38

is Apple's market share according to

1:04:40

Statista. Yeah.

1:04:44

It's like, what's the- what

1:04:46

are you doing? So f***ing what? It's

1:04:50

like Intel at the

1:04:52

prime of their market share, which

1:04:55

was not that long ago. They Intel at the height,

1:04:57

the prime of their market share, opening

1:04:59

a new feature talk by naming

1:05:01

AMD. Why? Like, what are you

1:05:03

doing? You already dominate. It's

1:05:05

weird. I don't know, man. And

1:05:08

I like- Yeah. Dude. Oh,

1:05:17

apparently this is- this is in the United States

1:05:19

too. So that's going to be way higher

1:05:22

than it is worldwide. Yeah, 100%. I

1:05:25

get it. Their competition

1:05:27

or whatever else. But

1:05:30

at the end of the day, you're kind

1:05:32

of chasing this minority

1:05:37

shareholder or not

1:05:39

shareholder, but

1:05:42

a holder of market share. I

1:05:46

don't know. And you know what? Look, it's capitalism,

1:05:48

baby. You got to grow. And

1:05:51

taking some of Apple, like taking 10% like this

1:05:53

is the thing. If

1:05:56

they can take 10% of the sales that

1:05:58

would have been a MacBook. Okay, they grow

1:06:00

their market share in the US by 1.6%. And

1:06:04

I get it, you gotta show growth. But

1:06:07

do you even think that this is the

1:06:09

solution to that? Because I don't know. I

1:06:11

think the solution to that is making really

1:06:14

good AI stuff that works better on our

1:06:16

processes, convincing people to upgrade. Because people have,

1:06:19

we know that from the COVID era, people

1:06:21

bought a bunch of stuff and they don't

1:06:23

need to upgrade it, because there's no point.

1:06:25

Here comes the hot take. But make things

1:06:27

that are worth upgrading your hardware for. You

1:06:30

know what I think is happening right now?

1:06:32

I think that Microsoft is contributing to a

1:06:34

significant improvement in Qualcomm Mindshare among

1:06:36

computer buyers that is ultimately going to

1:06:38

be exploited by Google. You

1:06:42

ready for this? You're falling back on your

1:06:44

Chromebook thing. Chromebooks. If

1:06:46

you wanted a machine where battery

1:06:48

life was of the utmost importance, are

1:06:50

you gonna be running Windows anyway? No.

1:06:54

Chrome OS supports

1:06:57

Linux applications now. Chrome OS

1:06:59

supports Steam. Gaming

1:07:02

on Linux is getting better. All of

1:07:04

these things are happening right now.

1:07:06

So is Emily saying that there has been, because

1:07:09

I have it looked. So this is not me

1:07:11

countering to be super, super clear before it, because

1:07:13

you know the Linux people can get a little

1:07:15

defensive sometimes. I'm not relaxed. Is

1:07:17

Emily saying that there's been significant steps since

1:07:19

we did our challenge? Yeah. Because

1:07:23

I would love to switch. I

1:07:26

would love to switch. It just

1:07:28

wasn't quite there. If

1:07:31

it's there, I'm gone. Because

1:07:34

honestly, I don't mind Windows at all. I actually kind of

1:07:36

like Windows 11 in a lot of different ways. And I

1:07:38

know people hate Windows 11. I don't care, I enjoy it.

1:07:40

The things that I don't like are

1:07:43

this snapshot thing. Them, when you update

1:07:45

Windows, them overriding some of your settings

1:07:47

and changing things. Forcing ads into my

1:07:50

operating system, go away. And then making

1:07:52

search just the worst thing in the

1:07:54

world. Those things are the

1:07:56

only things I actually dislike. A lot of what

1:07:58

Windows done. Search is the worst

1:08:01

thing in the world. All right, maybe exaggerate

1:08:03

a little bit. But the ads is too

1:08:05

far. This snapshot thing, which you know it's

1:08:07

going to turn itself back on, is too

1:08:09

far. And the search being

1:08:11

trash and constantly searching the internet when I want it

1:08:13

to search local. And even when you

1:08:15

tell it to only search local, now it just can't

1:08:17

find things. Which

1:08:20

is crazy. There's

1:08:22

no reason for that. So yeah, I'd

1:08:24

love to bail out. I really like

1:08:26

mint, actually. I like using mint. My

1:08:28

biggest problem is constantly jumping

1:08:30

back and forth for applications,

1:08:34

mostly games. Some applications is

1:08:37

just really annoying. I

1:08:39

want an operating system that can do my stuff. I'm

1:08:43

excited. I

1:08:46

think the age of the Chromebook

1:08:48

is dawning. You're excited about Chromebook.

1:08:51

Well, it's Linux. It's

1:08:53

kind of cut down sh-t, Linux. So

1:08:55

you think by Chromebook taking over, Linux

1:08:57

will become stronger because of more contribution?

1:08:59

Look at the trajectory of Chrome OS.

1:09:02

Chrome OS started super, super

1:09:04

locked down. Basically only ran

1:09:06

Chrome. It started out with

1:09:09

all the devices having completely locked down

1:09:11

firmware. So you couldn't even install a

1:09:13

different operating system if you wanted to.

1:09:16

Now you can run Android apps on

1:09:18

it. You can run

1:09:20

Linux apps on it. I

1:09:23

believe some of them allow

1:09:25

alternate operating system installs

1:09:31

by default. Don't quote me on that last one. We

1:09:33

did a video on this recently. So it's

1:09:36

kind of in my brain, but has fallen out a little bit.

1:09:43

I think that if Google is smart, this

1:09:47

is their opportunity. Kids grow up using Chrome

1:09:49

OS. Millions and

1:09:51

millions and millions of kids grow

1:09:53

up using Chrome OS. And

1:09:55

so all Chrome OS has to

1:09:57

do is keep getting a little more.

1:10:00

more functional. Now, Google

1:10:02

is also a tech giant like Microsoft

1:10:04

and is absolutely capable of succumbing to

1:10:06

the same hubris as Microsoft and just

1:10:08

screwing up Chrome OS and making it

1:10:11

so bad that we couldn't possibly switch

1:10:13

to it. But no,

1:10:15

I absolutely do believe that

1:10:17

Linux is the beneficiary of

1:10:19

Chrome OS, gaining more

1:10:21

popularity. And Chrome OS stands to

1:10:24

be a beneficiary of Linux gaining

1:10:27

better support and gaining better

1:10:29

access to applications people want to run.

1:10:31

Yeah, 100%. One thing that's

1:10:33

interesting is as based

1:10:35

as Elijah's move is and

1:10:38

as much as if significant improvements have

1:10:40

been made, I would yet again be

1:10:42

happy to consider it at least. I

1:10:45

don't think most gamers are going to care. What

1:10:48

about productivity? I

1:10:50

think workplaces are going to stay on Windows for

1:10:52

the foreseeable future. That's my problem, yeah. We

1:10:57

can't run WAN show on Linux, unfortunately.

1:10:59

Yeah. What doesn't

1:11:02

work? OK, so that's an interesting

1:11:04

one. Handyman in flow playing chat

1:11:06

linked me something that is pretty cool, which is worksonwoa.com.

1:11:12

And then in this particular instance slash games.

1:11:16

I go to my laptop. You can search

1:11:18

the games that will work on

1:11:20

Windows. I think it's 100 Asian cats. I

1:11:22

have no idea. Some game. OK. I

1:11:25

know the north analog. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, I

1:11:27

like that. So like some of these,

1:11:31

you see the amount of games on Steam. There's going to be

1:11:33

some weird names. I'm not talking

1:11:35

about the, there's seven ways to die. I don't know. It's

1:11:39

a game. I

1:11:43

haven't heard of a lot of these, but

1:11:45

it is what it is. But yeah, there's

1:11:47

already sites popping up like this. What's the home

1:11:49

page? What else is on here? Oh, just

1:11:51

games. Cool. Can

1:11:54

you sort by category popular, like games you've

1:11:56

heard of? Is that a thing? Or OK.

1:12:02

Looks pretty bare bones for now, but in the

1:12:04

long term. There's 1,348 results. I'm

1:12:08

expecting they're not all tagged properly. That makes

1:12:10

sense. So the category stuff is

1:12:13

probably not working great. Interesting

1:12:15

site. What do you want to search for? How

1:12:19

about that? Let's go with Dark

1:12:21

Souls. Cool.

1:12:27

Cool. Hmm.

1:12:34

Close. It got rain. I mean,

1:12:37

it's better than Windows Search. It's just extremely fuzzy,

1:12:39

fuzzy search. It's

1:12:42

comfy blanket search. Yeah, I don't know.

1:12:45

That's neat. But it's

1:12:48

coming along. I just... I

1:12:53

don't like this. I

1:12:56

care. I appreciate that

1:12:59

it's stored locally. Yeah, but some of the stuff... Stored locally does

1:13:01

not mean secure. Encrypted

1:13:04

does not mean secure. Do you hear the argument? Nothing

1:13:06

is impenetrable. Nothing is fully secure. Do you hear the

1:13:08

argument for why we should be okay with it? Because

1:13:12

this is all just coming anyway and

1:13:15

we should just kind of deal with it. Everyone's going

1:13:17

to have an equivalent thing. Like,

1:13:20

man, we're talking about them having

1:13:22

capabilities like, I forgot my password

1:13:24

for my mobile operator's

1:13:26

online portal. What is

1:13:28

it? Cortana? You

1:13:32

can't be storing that

1:13:34

stuff. Yeah. It's

1:13:37

sketch. Yeah, this interview on Bloomberg

1:13:40

Television... I think

1:13:42

this is the interview at least. At

1:13:45

some point in time, the interviewer asks

1:13:47

Satya Nadella... Is this it? Yeah,

1:13:50

I think so. I'm not ever since

1:13:52

this is the right one, but I think it is. At

1:13:54

some point in time in the video,

1:13:57

she asks him... creepy

1:14:00

basically and he responds with

1:14:02

effectively what Linus just said which is like I

1:14:04

don't know AI stuff is going to be like

1:14:06

this so get used to it. Not

1:14:09

obviously not exactly that very PR

1:14:11

speedy. Yeah he wordsnipped it quite a bit better

1:14:13

than that. Yes but that's basically the point. I'm

1:14:15

not nominating you for new CEO of Microsoft. Although

1:14:19

they might go in a good direction with you at

1:14:21

the helm. I don't know if they'd make money though.

1:14:23

Probably not. Yeah. Yeah.

1:14:27

Oh a question. Syncplane

1:14:29

asks, hey can you ask Dan again what doesn't

1:14:31

work on Linux for WAN show? Yeah I'm very

1:14:34

curious about that. Oh that's the

1:14:36

vMix. That's basically just vMix. It

1:14:39

uses too much of the Windows libraries for

1:14:42

especially because almost all of it is

1:14:44

GPU. It's very very

1:14:46

stable because it's a pretty much 100% GPU compute. Someone's

1:14:49

this is one of the problems that we run into

1:14:52

and now I'm going to piss all the Linux people

1:14:54

off. So

1:14:56

there's a couple. We

1:14:58

start talking about how we could maybe adopt

1:15:00

Linux again and floatplane chat erupts with, you

1:15:02

should use this distro with this thing and

1:15:05

this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

1:15:08

That's scary for new users. And then the

1:15:10

other one is, tell

1:15:13

me the software that didn't work because

1:15:15

they know some way to magically get

1:15:17

it to function in some way somehow.

1:15:20

Yeah I'm running it on metal. I'm not going

1:15:22

to emulate an operating system underneath it. Yeah. There's

1:15:25

always that one program. And it

1:15:27

stops working and then we want to go live on

1:15:29

WAN show but it doesn't work so you have to

1:15:31

tinker with Linux to make it function. It's like, ahh.

1:15:33

Yeah. Or we could just spend $100 on

1:15:35

a Windows license. This is Windows

1:15:38

11 that has vMix installed on it

1:15:40

and Chrome. That is all that

1:15:42

is on this computer. This is why

1:15:44

business, I don't really see them moving.

1:15:47

And at home as well, there's always that

1:15:50

one program that I need to be using

1:15:52

that doesn't exist. You had a rough day

1:15:54

at work, driving home, three

1:15:56

different people cut you off, someone

1:15:59

scraped this idea or called. you're

1:16:01

upset, you go get some coffee and you spill it

1:16:03

and you finally get home, you just want to play

1:16:05

video games and you sit on your computer and they

1:16:07

won't work for some reason. And

1:16:10

it happened a lot, guys. I

1:16:14

think if you're being honest with yourselves, it

1:16:17

doesn't bother you because you enjoy the tinkering. There

1:16:20

is tinkering. Which is great. Which is fine. Fantastic.

1:16:22

I have lots of things that I do the

1:16:24

hard way because I enjoy it. I don't have

1:16:27

to paint my own motorcycle, believe it or not.

1:16:30

I'm doing it. I have pictures.

1:16:32

See, I was gonna say, speaking of which. I

1:16:34

put white on it. Nice. Primer?

1:16:38

Nope, it's primed gray. But

1:16:40

the frame needs to be painted white because

1:16:43

the pink that's gonna go over top of it

1:16:46

doesn't shine through as brightly if

1:16:49

it just goes on gray primer. I apparently don't have

1:16:51

pictures of it, so forget that. How

1:16:53

much longer do you think? The

1:16:55

paint shop keeps telling me today, bro.

1:16:59

Don't tell me today. Tell me tomorrow.

1:17:02

Give yourself some wiggle room for... Seven

1:17:06

or eight business days. They've been telling me I'll have it for

1:17:08

you today. Is

1:17:11

it today or is it... I don't

1:17:13

know. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Sometimes you have the

1:17:15

best intentions. I know. I'm waiting

1:17:17

on the mid coat and the effect coat and then

1:17:19

I can do the whole thing. Like I'm ready to

1:17:21

paint. That's exciting.

1:17:23

Yeah, I'm really excited. Someone

1:17:27

said, yeah, it's also perfectly okay to only partially

1:17:29

move to something if it doesn't work. I

1:17:32

hear that, but then like I said earlier in the show,

1:17:34

like I don't wanna be switching between operating systems all the

1:17:36

time. Why are we training up our level one technicians on

1:17:39

two operating systems? Yeah. No,

1:17:41

not man. We got grub on the computers

1:17:43

now and like, oh, you make a mistake

1:17:45

and now you won't boot. And I've dealt

1:17:47

with that before. I used to triple boot

1:17:49

between OSX, Windows, and

1:17:52

Linux on one machine. Back

1:17:54

when you could do the Hackintosh. Yeah. Yeah,

1:17:57

well, I worked for you. Obviously!

1:18:00

That's why we hired you! Yeah!

1:18:03

It sucks. I just want to go home and not

1:18:06

do work. Basically, there's

1:18:08

some significant bumps

1:18:10

to get over still. I'm sure those are... I mean,

1:18:12

I haven't touched it in a long time. I'm sure

1:18:15

those are still problems. But,

1:18:17

you know, the more bumps Microsoft puts

1:18:20

in front of Windows, eventually

1:18:22

those roads might start looking pretty similar. And

1:18:25

when they do, I think Linux starts to

1:18:27

win. Yeah.

1:18:36

Time to use sponsors? Yeah.

1:18:43

Alright. Sorry, I'm just going to have

1:18:45

to get this sponsor out of my mouth. I actually don't think they

1:18:47

sponsored the show today, but... The

1:18:49

1:21:49

that was awful. one-upped

1:22:00

me apparently being Dan's dad.

1:22:03

Yeah, that was a little weird.

1:22:06

Is it too late for an abortion?

1:22:08

Like, why does he have a beard? I

1:22:11

came out of the womb with that bearded baby. Oh

1:22:15

boy. What

1:22:17

do you want to do next?

1:22:20

Three merch messages. Oh yeah, right. Sorry. Yes,

1:22:23

Dan. Yes, sir. Okay,

1:22:25

sir. Having trouble balancing work and time

1:22:27

with my partner. She says we compromised

1:22:29

on shared time too much, but I

1:22:31

made two-thirds versus last year. I

1:22:33

work odd hours to get overtime, but get

1:22:35

three days off. Advice. Three

1:22:39

days off is a lot. Right,

1:22:43

but do those hours always coincide with her time

1:22:45

off? Yeah. Because

1:22:47

if you have three days off, but you spend two of them,

1:22:49

like, gaming in your cave – and to be clear, I'm not

1:22:51

saying you're doing that. I'm just saying three days

1:22:53

off does not necessarily equate to three

1:22:55

days together. Totally. I

1:22:59

mean, that's a tough one. You

1:23:01

got to make time. Relationships do

1:23:03

not autopilot. You also

1:23:05

need to set realistic expectations.

1:23:08

Because as they said, I made two-thirds versus

1:23:10

last year. Economic times are

1:23:13

tough right now. You can't just, like,

1:23:15

not push. I

1:23:17

mean, I remember we talked – well, not we

1:23:19

didn't talk about it, but we alluded to it last

1:23:21

week when Yvonne was on the show with us. Yeah,

1:23:25

we had some really tough conversations. What

1:23:28

I often fell back on, in fact, being

1:23:31

across the hall from us with those

1:23:33

paper-thin walls, what I often –

1:23:35

you've probably heard me say this before, but what

1:23:37

I often alluded to was that old impression –

1:23:39

Sometimes they would go downstairs to the living room

1:23:41

area thinking that it did

1:23:43

anything. Anyway, I

1:23:47

often would talk about making hay while the

1:23:50

sun's shining. Like that's a

1:23:52

– if you have a good opportunity

1:23:54

now. But then you also can – depending on your

1:23:56

financial situation, you might not – if the sun's no

1:23:58

longer shining, you might – You may not have

1:24:00

an opportunity to. not a race that make a

1:24:03

anyway I in the answers kind of the same.

1:24:05

Either way I guess is like yeah at the

1:24:07

end of the day works is our modern equivalent

1:24:09

of going out and foraging for food and building

1:24:11

selter. Arm and like

1:24:13

if we don't do it, we don't. Eat.

1:24:16

And we don't have. Shelter. And

1:24:18

there are alternatives. You could be a

1:24:20

mountain man and you guys could go

1:24:22

to the mountain moon And you said

1:24:24

forage for food and build selter. Arm.

1:24:27

But what I suspect is that he doesn't

1:24:29

want to do that. Arm

1:24:32

and maybe. Maybe. In.

1:24:35

Which case, I hope you're ready for some.

1:24:37

Significant lifestyle adjustments might be sick you

1:24:39

will be watching when so much from

1:24:41

out there I like I will pass

1:24:44

some. Cats

1:24:46

Tough. I mean, I think that the

1:24:48

most important thing in any relationship in

1:24:50

any conflict is you gotta communicate. Your.

1:24:52

Holes got a court case. What are

1:24:54

my needs? What are your

1:24:57

needs? What are the real estate's. Ah,

1:25:00

I'm challenges that we face to Ah

1:25:02

to meet both of them. And what's

1:25:04

the closest that we can get to

1:25:06

a middle ground? Yeah. I'm

1:25:09

like you You're pointing out yourself. I may

1:25:11

two thirds vs. last year. Ah, it's you

1:25:13

may not be as. Financially. Minded

1:25:15

are financially focused on the I

1:25:17

find there's usually like one person

1:25:19

in the relationship that is more

1:25:21

cellulite for. For for.

1:25:24

You have on is more financially focused

1:25:26

I think. He's

1:25:28

better at it says prof say that much

1:25:30

of Richards. But I

1:25:32

okay man this is. this is one of those

1:25:34

things where I feel like in in trying to

1:25:37

make sure that people properly appreciate that Yvonne is

1:25:39

not just the boss's wife and take your way

1:25:41

to work day. I have talked a lot about

1:25:43

how good she is that that kind of stuff.

1:25:46

That's. Don't kid yourself, not some idiot

1:25:48

the like. Either.

1:25:51

I don't have a budget, things and

1:25:53

stuff so. Of meme

1:25:55

in on your but I love the problem

1:25:57

is that they don't know that the seems

1:25:59

to fairness. There seem to be a lot of people

1:26:01

that when I build someone else up and

1:26:03

I kind of have like I have kind of a

1:26:06

self-deprecating style of humor. People

1:26:09

seem to take it at face value which well

1:26:15

hey. I see

1:26:17

you and that's okay my literal

1:26:19

friends. My point was it

1:26:22

might be a good idea to sit down

1:26:24

with the books. With her. Try

1:26:27

to explain or with them. Try

1:26:29

to explain oh

1:26:32

no it says she. Yeah. Try

1:26:35

to explain like this is why okay I made

1:26:38

two-thirds versus last year. These are my financial goals

1:26:40

over the next while which will put us in

1:26:42

these financial positions where retirement

1:26:44

might be more comfy. We might

1:26:46

be able to rent

1:26:50

a better place or buy a better place

1:26:52

or buy a place at all or do

1:26:54

whatever have more financial insulation if

1:26:56

something bad happens. Say one of us loses a

1:26:58

job this will give us more of a runway

1:27:00

like explain all of these different types of things.

1:27:02

But if I could give a little bit of

1:27:04

advice don't man-plain it ask questions. Totally.

1:27:07

Ask questions like in the event

1:27:09

that one of us lost a job how

1:27:11

long would you expect us to take to

1:27:14

get a new job and how

1:27:16

much of what we're making now would we be willing

1:27:18

to settle for? Ask questions like

1:27:20

that layout a scenario and then do the

1:27:22

math together rather than doing it all ahead

1:27:24

of time and basically giving a presentation because that can

1:27:26

that can have a little bit of the ick. Totally

1:27:29

that makes sense. Yeah.

1:27:32

Yeah I worked with them on it I don't know. I'm

1:27:36

showing my seven-year-old some games from my

1:27:38

own childhood for example roller coaster tycoon

1:27:40

worms and age of empires 2. How

1:27:43

has your children responded to older

1:27:45

games like these as they grew

1:27:48

older? Did any really get into

1:27:50

some? I

1:27:54

haven't played older games with my kids

1:27:56

that much but what I will

1:27:58

say is they tend to enjoy things

1:28:01

the most when you do it with them. So

1:28:03

if you just give them roller coaster tycoon and

1:28:05

walk away, I doubt that's gonna be very effective.

1:28:07

But if you sit and make coasters with them,

1:28:10

that will be super effective.

1:28:12

Like, my son would never

1:28:14

pick up Liero on his own. Like,

1:28:17

he doesn't, he could. But

1:28:19

he loves playing it with me. So

1:28:22

that's the kind of thing you gotta do, right? If you want

1:28:24

them to kind of enjoy the same things as you and you

1:28:26

wanna kind of make that connection, just make sure that you understand

1:28:28

it has to go both ways. I've had

1:28:30

to spend more time than I otherwise

1:28:32

would have playing Minecraft Dungeons because

1:28:35

my kids like it. And it's, what,

1:28:39

it's Diablo, right? Like, it's just

1:28:41

stupid, just click on everything, dungeon

1:28:43

crawler game, right? And to

1:28:45

be clear, if you enjoy Minecraft Dungeons, that's fine,

1:28:47

there's good gameplay mechanics. And I'm sure at like

1:28:50

a high level, you can be good at it

1:28:52

and stuff. It's not just click on things or whatever.

1:28:54

Like, some of the raids are pretty

1:28:56

challenging and like, we got wiped and

1:28:58

stuff. So no disrespect intended.

1:29:01

It's just not really my genre. And

1:29:04

I've played a lot more of it than I would have if my

1:29:06

kids hadn't asked me to. Right.

1:29:10

And let's see, what's our last one

1:29:12

here? Hello, Dalu Lee. I

1:29:15

recently sent my 89 civic

1:29:17

hatchback into a tree at 35 miles an

1:29:19

hour, a day before I went on vacation.

1:29:22

Have you had anything catastrophic happen before

1:29:24

an event but found a way to go

1:29:26

anyway? What

1:29:28

a specific question. Oh

1:29:31

no. Before

1:29:35

an event, I mean, I'm

1:29:37

sure I've had something terrible happen before an event. I

1:29:39

mean, you get sick anytime you go anywhere. So that's

1:29:41

kind of catastrophic. Yeah, I'm worried. Remember that time you

1:29:43

went to Japan and then just stayed in your hotel

1:29:45

room the whole time? That was Taiwan.

1:29:48

Taiwan, sure, whatever. That's where I'm going again.

1:29:50

Nice. Hopefully I don't get sick again. I thought

1:29:53

you also had to stay in your hotel room a lot in Japan. Yeah,

1:29:55

so I'm not wrong. So I haven't not been.

1:30:00

Why am I being so defensive right now? I

1:30:04

haven't not been sick during a vacation for three

1:30:06

years. Nice. We're rolling

1:30:08

the dice again. Nice. Seeing

1:30:11

how it goes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it'll work

1:30:13

out. You got... I'm

1:30:15

not sick, don't worry. Thanks. Unless

1:30:18

I am. We'll find out

1:30:20

soon. Yeah, I mean, it'll affect me too, I

1:30:22

guess. Let's hope neither of us is sick. Yes.

1:30:25

Um... I

1:30:27

don't know. It's happened a bunch of times. Tell me this. I

1:30:31

don't really want to give examples. Tell me this. Okay. Now,

1:30:35

obviously, I'm not going to ask you if you're going

1:30:37

to wear a cloth square on your face. But

1:30:40

would you consider using

1:30:42

one of the, like, organic particulate filters,

1:30:44

like I have for my painting booth? Would

1:30:47

you consider wearing one of those on the plane? Because

1:30:49

close quarters on a plane? Look,

1:30:52

I don't give a f*** if you believe

1:30:54

that COVID was a government conspiracy or whatever.

1:30:58

I actually don't care. The

1:31:00

cold, hard truth is that proximity,

1:31:03

especially over an extended period of time,

1:31:05

to people who are infected with any

1:31:07

kind of even remotely airborne illness, increases

1:31:10

the chances of you getting sick. No.

1:31:15

If you're going to say anything other than that

1:31:17

being near sick people makes you sick, you're actually

1:31:19

stupid and you can go away. So

1:31:22

if you were to wear, like, a

1:31:24

real filtering mask, if that was an

1:31:26

option, because it is, they're like a

1:31:28

hundred bucks. And the cartridges are much

1:31:30

cheaper. They're like interchangeable cartridges. Yeah, I

1:31:33

have one. I used to use it

1:31:35

for working with cement. How badly do you not want to

1:31:37

get sick? I think

1:31:40

not badly enough to wear that. Really?

1:31:43

Which is funny because I actually find them wildly

1:31:45

more comfortable to wear. Yeah,

1:31:48

they're not that uncomfortable. But people,

1:31:50

like, hate it so

1:31:53

much. I don't

1:31:55

know why. I tried it before. When

1:31:57

this whole thing first popped off, my

1:31:59

immediate... reaction was to go get

1:32:01

my old cement mask thing.

1:32:03

Yeah. Cause I'm like, they

1:32:06

have removable filters. I'll just buy the

1:32:08

N95 ones cause those exist. And

1:32:10

you can just click them in and then

1:32:13

I'm good, right? And the whole world was like,

1:32:15

no, we have to use these really annoying one

1:32:18

size fits all. They don't fit your head.

1:32:20

They're going to literally cut your ears masks. And

1:32:22

I'm like, why? Like when

1:32:24

I'm on planes, you know what I actually

1:32:26

do? Yeah. I wear those old

1:32:28

noise canceling headphones that you got

1:32:30

for us. Any 14? I

1:32:35

don't even remember. I don't remember when. You

1:32:37

bought everybody noise canceling headphones for trips like

1:32:39

a billion years ago. Oh, okay. I

1:32:43

still have those and I hooked the mask

1:32:45

around those. Oh,

1:32:47

that doesn't cut into my ears. Yeah. If

1:32:49

I don't, I've actually bled from masks before. Wow.

1:32:52

My head's too big. I've already printed a bunch of ear

1:32:55

saver masks. It's so annoying. And I'm the one

1:32:57

with the ego. Ha ha ha.

1:33:01

That makes sense. I did it before.

1:33:03

That was during COVID. They were the

1:33:06

blood people, the blood letting people. I

1:33:08

can't remember the cold, like life labs

1:33:10

and stuff like that. Oh,

1:33:12

blood letting people. You

1:33:14

mean the clinic? Yeah, the clinic where they

1:33:16

let your blood go into the tube. Do

1:33:18

you call your doctor a saw bones? It'd

1:33:22

be funny. It'd be very funny.

1:33:24

Dr. Sawbones, please. I have the, I have

1:33:27

the vapors. And

1:33:29

those worked really well because they were having to wear masks

1:33:31

like for 10, 12 hours a day and

1:33:34

they were all bleeding as well. So you could

1:33:37

try one of those, although they'd probably be pretty

1:33:39

silly. I don't know what happened. I used to

1:33:41

get sick decently

1:33:43

often, enough that it was annoying,

1:33:45

but it would always be for like really short

1:33:47

periods of time. And it was like

1:33:49

usually pretty easy. Like I would get sick on like

1:33:52

a Thursday or a Friday and I'd be better again by

1:33:54

the time I'm back in our work on Monday. And I'd

1:33:56

like lose a weekend and it would suck, but like it

1:33:58

didn't really matter. And now. get sick

1:34:00

and it just doesn't go away for

1:34:02

so long. And like the

1:34:05

most recent two of them I tested and

1:34:07

they weren't COVID. So

1:34:09

like, it's just something. I have no idea. I

1:34:12

don't know, man. I, um, for me,

1:34:14

the, uh, I don't wear

1:34:16

a mask anymore because we don't have mandates

1:34:18

and lockdowns and there's, you know, there's, there's

1:34:20

a lot more certainty about, uh, COVID

1:34:23

and its various, uh, its various changes over the

1:34:25

years and all of that. So I'm, I'm a

1:34:27

lot less worried about it. Um,

1:34:30

I mean, it's, it's the unknown that was, that

1:34:32

was the reason for a lot of the protective

1:34:34

measures we didn't know, you know, what it

1:34:36

was going to do. We didn't know what the impacts were going to

1:34:38

be long-term. Um, so

1:34:40

I don't, I don't wear a mask anymore, but

1:34:42

what I do still do is I wash my

1:34:44

hands way more than I used to. That's

1:34:47

a new one for me. I never get sick anymore.

1:34:50

Think about it. When's the last time you saw

1:34:52

me miss a day of work? Cause I'm sick. Yeah. Like basically

1:34:54

never. Remember. And in the old days

1:34:56

I used to work anyway, but I,

1:34:58

you go back to some of the old videos and

1:35:00

I'm like, Oh, so you get like, there's no voice

1:35:02

and stuff. Dude, I never get

1:35:04

sick anymore. Washing your hands more.

1:35:06

And it's not like I was like a

1:35:08

dirty, gross, disgusting person before anything. Like I

1:35:10

wash my hands when I use the bathroom and

1:35:13

stuff like that. But I switched my mentality.

1:35:16

I used to wash my hands whenever

1:35:18

I did something dirty. Now

1:35:21

I wash my hands before

1:35:23

I'm about to do something that requires

1:35:25

cleanliness. Yes. And also that. Yeah.

1:35:28

And that has made probably the

1:35:30

biggest difference out of every behavioral.

1:35:34

I'm also really hardcore about, um,

1:35:36

uh, when

1:35:39

I go to the gym, I'm really hardcore about

1:35:41

not touching my face with my hands. Sometimes

1:35:45

I might, you know, there's sweat or whatever I'll

1:35:47

use like my arm. I'll do it, but I'll

1:35:49

make sure that I've washed my hands first. Well,

1:35:51

I'll do that. But then at the gym, you're

1:35:53

touching things in the gym. There's no way. Yeah.

1:35:55

So I, I, I pre-wiped down every surface that

1:35:58

I use in the gym, including bars. like

1:36:00

barbells, whatever else. And then even

1:36:03

despite that, if I need to touch my face, I'll

1:36:05

use like, you know, you do

1:36:07

this with your hands so you can have a point

1:36:10

with this part of the wrist. And then I'll like

1:36:12

use that if I need to or just my, the

1:36:14

whole back of my arm or whatever. Like I'll find

1:36:16

some way to not use the inside of my hand

1:36:18

without touching things with. Unique username reminds

1:36:20

me that you just had a UTI line. Sorry

1:36:22

for the reminder, I did. But

1:36:24

that's not related to transmissible.

1:36:27

Although there are person

1:36:30

to person transmission things that

1:36:32

can cause a UTI, which actually

1:36:35

reminds me of the time that

1:36:37

my doctor in front of

1:36:39

me basically told

1:36:41

me, Vaughn, oh honey, he's

1:36:43

cheating on you. Have I

1:36:45

never told you this story? No. What?

1:36:49

Anyway, antibiotics, they're a

1:36:51

miracle. I'm fine now, thank you. As

1:36:53

far as the UTI goes. Oh. Sorry,

1:36:58

Keith. Oh

1:37:01

no. But I got

1:37:03

an unrelated blood test for something. What's

1:37:05

happening? I got an

1:37:08

unrelated blood test for something or

1:37:10

other. And

1:37:12

I tested positive for, I'm gonna get all

1:37:14

the details wrong because I am not a

1:37:17

doctor and it doesn't matter to

1:37:19

me in my daily life. But I

1:37:21

tested positive for like the

1:37:24

association of

1:37:28

proteins or

1:37:30

the antibodies or something of

1:37:33

one of the hepatitis. And

1:37:38

basically, whichever one it is, it's one

1:37:41

that you, that

1:37:43

is sexually transmitted. So

1:37:46

I went in for this totally unrelated

1:37:48

blood test. It was probably something to

1:37:50

do with getting

1:37:53

my blood tested to figure out if I

1:37:55

had arthritis because I had these issues with

1:37:58

inflammation in my knees and now. they

1:38:00

think it was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

1:38:03

It's kind of gone into remission. It'll probably come back

1:38:05

with a vengeance when I'm old but for now, I'm

1:38:07

doing pretty great. Anyway,

1:38:10

so I was probably in for a blood test for

1:38:12

that or something. They

1:38:14

basically go, okay, but you've got this antigen

1:38:16

or protein or something. It was something to

1:38:18

do with one of the hepatitis's. They

1:38:22

basically go, okay, so what does that

1:38:25

mean? They're basically like, well,

1:38:27

it usually indicates

1:38:30

that you've had at some

1:38:33

point this sexually

1:38:38

transmitted disease and

1:38:41

Yvonne pipes up and she goes, okay, but

1:38:43

he hasn't because I don't and

1:38:46

I never have. She

1:38:48

kind of goes, well,

1:38:54

that's how you get it. So

1:38:56

I think you guys might have to have a conversation

1:38:58

about this. And

1:39:03

look, for me and Yvonne, it's perfectly normal

1:39:05

and acceptable for us to have a meeting

1:39:07

with our doctor, like with each other. But

1:39:11

for her to basically like, and it really

1:39:13

was that obvious. So

1:39:16

we left, obviously Yvonne and I have

1:39:18

a lot of trust in our relationship because as we

1:39:20

were leaving, I was like,

1:39:23

no, and she's like, yeah, I know. But

1:39:28

Yvonne having a background in pharmacy,

1:39:30

having an actual medical background herself,

1:39:32

oh man, that's something that I

1:39:35

think makes me more angry than

1:39:37

almost anything else. And

1:39:41

I don't know what it is. I don't

1:39:43

know if it's the general, you know,

1:39:45

arrogance that you can see with doctors

1:39:47

sometimes. I don't know if it's like

1:39:49

a misogyny thing. I don't

1:39:51

know what it is, but the number

1:39:53

of times that I have had to stand there while a

1:39:59

medical professional talks

1:40:01

down to Yvonne when

1:40:04

she clearly understands everything that's going on

1:40:06

very easily, especially when they're talking about

1:40:08

drugs, for me to pipe in and go,

1:40:10

she's a pharmacist,

1:40:13

you don't have to explain what a corticosteroid

1:40:15

is. You can move on.

1:40:18

And for them to keep going through it, explaining

1:40:20

to her like she is three years old, I

1:40:24

don't think anything makes me more angry than that.

1:40:26

So the point is this doctor who I

1:40:28

probably have had that conversation with already because

1:40:32

I understand these things pretty well, whether

1:40:34

it's from just paying attention in school

1:40:36

or it's from taking some first year

1:40:39

biology classes or from doing flashcards with

1:40:41

Yvonne. I've picked up a lot. I

1:40:43

don't need someone to explain to me

1:40:45

what an anti-inflammatory is. I don't need

1:40:47

someone to explain to me what an

1:40:50

NSAID is. I know

1:40:52

what these things are. Aren't

1:40:55

you paid by the number of patients you see? Let's

1:40:57

do this thing. So I tend to jump

1:40:59

in with that. She's a pharmacist. You don't have to

1:41:02

explain this. She knows what aspirin is. Let's

1:41:04

move on. Anyway,

1:41:06

so Yvonne starts asking probing

1:41:09

questions. So dismissive.

1:41:12

The doctor was so dismissive

1:41:15

of her questions where she was basically probing for,

1:41:17

okay, well, what are the other? The

1:41:19

doctor was treating her like she was basically asking

1:41:21

if she could get pregnant from a toilet seat.

1:41:24

Is that how he got it? But

1:41:27

what she was actually asking for is, okay,

1:41:29

look, I'm a little rusty on the antigens

1:41:31

versus the proteins versus the antibodies. Is

1:41:33

there some other thing that could have caused

1:41:35

it? And

1:41:37

as it turns out, when

1:41:40

we went for another blood test and

1:41:42

we came back for the results, the

1:41:45

doctor with no apology whatsoever for the

1:41:47

incredibly awkward situation she'd created that could

1:41:49

have in a different relationship caused a

1:41:51

pretty big stir. Okay. Because

1:41:54

even if it, even if you did end

1:41:56

up figuring out that it wasn't true, irreparable

1:41:58

damage could have been done. No apology whatsoever.

1:42:00

is basically like, yeah,

1:42:03

he like had, he

1:42:05

had some exposure to it at some

1:42:07

point through a vaccine and

1:42:11

had the whatever's, but

1:42:14

we didn't check for that last time so I didn't know.

1:42:16

F*** you.

1:42:19

Like you actually don't get to do that, that's

1:42:22

not cool. And don't worry, I have

1:42:24

a new doctor now. That was

1:42:26

a, it was a clinic doctor. I hate

1:42:28

going to walk-in clinics. It's basically- But we

1:42:30

didn't have a family doctor at that time

1:42:32

between the two of us and

1:42:34

my, technically still my family

1:42:36

doctor's like out in mission because he was

1:42:39

my family doctor from before Yvonne and

1:42:41

I like moved to not mission so

1:42:43

like I just didn't have one yet and I

1:42:46

was super young and super healthy. Mine is super

1:42:48

far away, like 45 minutes. Yeah, it sucks. Am

1:42:50

I, the walk-in clinic- Four minutes from the office

1:42:52

baby, I looked out. That's amazing.

1:42:56

Dude, she tried to call me on a weekend about

1:42:58

my results for the UTI thing. She like calls me

1:43:00

on a Saturday. I don't pick up because I don't

1:43:02

answer my phone because it's leaked a thousand times and

1:43:04

I just give up on changing my phone number at

1:43:06

this point. So she calls

1:43:08

me on a Saturday. I don't pick up. She

1:43:11

texts me. She's like, yo, I dealt with

1:43:13

all your stuff. Go pick it up at this pharmacy. It's the one

1:43:15

near you I checked. Holy crap.

1:43:17

She is absolutely based. I love

1:43:20

my doctor

1:43:24

and she's like my age. So I

1:43:26

basically, as long as she doesn't retire,

1:43:29

Dr. T. As

1:43:34

long as she doesn't retire, I'm keeping

1:43:37

her for life. She's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

1:43:39

the only at this point, the only reason why

1:43:41

I go into a walk-in is if I am

1:43:44

a hundred percent confident what's going on, I'll

1:43:46

go in and like tell them and then they can get

1:43:48

me whatever. Yeah, a lot of them argue with you anyway,

1:43:50

though. Honestly, the one that I

1:43:52

go to, usually they just like verify really quick and they're

1:43:55

like, okay, sure. And then that's pretty good because I have

1:43:57

this prompt. I've explained this to you before my like your

1:43:59

canals are kind of weird. I can't

1:44:01

have the squishy ear buds because they just fall out.

1:44:04

I also sometimes have a hard time when

1:44:07

I get off of planes sometimes my ear just won't

1:44:09

pop. Oh, that's bad.

1:44:11

So I have to go in and like they help me

1:44:14

do it. Oh, that's rough. So I'll just like tell them

1:44:16

like this is the problem. This is

1:44:18

the way that you guys have successfully done it

1:44:20

in the past and let us be like, okay,

1:44:22

let us do it. That's pretty straightforward. It's like

1:44:24

cool. Yeah, walk in doctors or

1:44:26

just like any doctor that just like doesn't

1:44:28

care. It's such a kind of

1:44:32

it's a scourge, dude. I agree, but

1:44:34

I get it here because here we

1:44:36

have such an insane shortage. So they have five minutes

1:44:39
