[Assistant] As far as my understanding goes, we're just in, like, standard TV studios. They would just have one of the sets so that they could reuse those crazy expensive cameras that they would use for basically everything. News, all the different various shows, they would all be in one studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was like, what's a sound card? And why could you possibly want one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, how would you go about installing one and picking one? Stuff like that. Some of them I've found, I didn't have access to any of them, uh, but some of them that I found on like YouTube many, many years later are actually like kinda cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I can think of one in particular that had this like, kind of weird, thin desk, and the, the host would sit on like the close side, and the, there was usually a guest would sit on the far side and the computer would kind of be in the middle, and then it would be like this presentation piece. I don't remember the name of the show. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, but it's just reuploads from like this old, so this was the main host. Oh, here we go. And they would show like, I guess this is probably like, the iPhone. Wow. Informational transaction appliance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus and I did a, did a video on an Apple Pippin, which is what's here right now. I'm very surprised we randomly landed on an episode that has the Pippin in it. Um, Apple's game console. Yeah. And, and then it just like disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's a really cool piece, like it's, it's, yeah, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this, this show is like actually pretty cool. I would have absolutely loved to watch this if I knew it even like existed and also had access to it back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's kind of a cool, because there are such good versions uploaded to this YouTube channel, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of a cool time capsule to go look back at something. We talked about this on Wanshow not that long ago, but the whole like the internet never forgets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, unless it does thing is, is pretty real. And there's a lot of stuff from like the nineties and early two thousands internet eras that are just sort of gone now. Um, so it's nice to be able to have something like this where it is actually being decently preserved. Don't forget about Dados.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Dotto, right? Yeah, I know Steve Dotto. So this was a Canadian


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, a lot of old shows, like I think you've talked about this too, like Made in Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. That's good. Actually, that's good. Genuinely. Uh, but I like that, uhm, whoever's behind the Computer Chronicles was proactive about getting it up themselves. I believe this channel's official. Uhm, and it seems to have like basically everything, which is just awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I don't think it's going to stop anything because there are people developing this stuff that don't care and enough of it is open source that people are just going to be able to scrape on lower levels than corporate and you won't be able to go after them properly and you won't know they're doing it and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not gonna matter. Cat's kinda out of the bag. When this stuff got heavily open source with like llama and all these other things, like, it's done, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. I think, I think, what is it called? Uhm, when there's like a landmark case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Destruction. Uhm, yeaah, no, precedent, I think, is gonna be set by this pretty hard, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are two very major, very recognizable in their space companies. If you talk about news in North America, you probably know New York Times. If you talk about software stuff, especially operating systems, you probably know Microsoft. Like it's... Yea, New York Times versus Microsoft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't have to tell them. Nobody has to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just get to do more, you get more service revenue. Yeah, which is probably good money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're gonna really want those trains back on the rails. Uh, one competitor, SPS, was hit with fines equivalent to 462,000 euros. Dang!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in that added geofencing around competitors' workshops, so that the trains would instead lock up after being brought to those facilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New Ag is denying these allegations and claims that these issues were caused by third parties interfering with the train's security features.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the private key needs to go in the bri- and then like 98% of people just disconnect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's somewhat stunning to me how many people will do this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not out their own companies, I guess. It's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I just, I think maybe it's my bubble of like finding recruitment kind of hard, uh, but I feel like software developers, like if you're like, hmm, I'm going to defraud my own country, basically. It's like, yeah, you could probably get another job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying in this particular case, I think if you work in that field, you have a high chance of finding another job. I can understand for some positions, some jobs, it might be like this is the only way I'm gonna get bread on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think that's what even happened. They were, they were taking these trains off the rails. I know. I just, I just mean as a preventative measure. Not even just to not get other people to work on them though. They were doing them, doing it randomly in order to get more service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I have to get signed back into the dock, but people can see my hand, so I have to fake that I'm pressing keys that I'm not pressing, and it's getting all, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can? No. Oh, you can see this bit? You can't see the- this entire hand? No, okay. Have fun with your like, one letter, you're gonna see me in-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, most of mine actually, they mix it up sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have one trick for passwords that I love so much, but I don't know if I want to say it. Because one of the reasons why it's good is because a lot of, like, brute force password guessers never get it, because they don't incorporate it. So I don't know if I want to, like, popularize its use. I think I want to keep this one for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if I arm people to potentially figure it out themselves?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a compromise. That's a good compromise. A lot of passwords can take characters that don't normally get typed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially, that don't normally get typed for passwords. Consider this. My passwords are all gonna be emojis now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when you're, when you're thinking about brute forcing, cause like when it comes to guessing or social engineering or someone just getting in your password manager or anything like that or, or, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe not. For me, I think it would be things that actually get me off devices more. And I think that could come in the form of input even. Like you, I see a lot of people, I don't do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't actually know why, but I see a lot of people dictate messages through voice. And I think that's kind of the direction that I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, is like, yeaah, I don't necessarily want to sit here and type this whole thing and while staring at the screen, if I can just press one button and talk into it. I don't want to talk to things. I need a neural interface. Yeaah, but that's what I'm saying in that direction. I'm not saying that, because we basically already have that. So yeaah, like things that can get me off of the device, maybe different input methods, whether it's neural or whatever else, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things that, uh, like we've talked about this for a long time, being able to wear glasses that are basically a Rolodex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am supposed to know them. How many times have I met this person? Uh, especially if it's more than zero. Uhm, like, yeaah. And it ca- I don't- I don't even necessarily want it to be creepy. You can pull this information from my contacts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like don't, don't search the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but yeah, things, things that make it so that I actually spend less time manually myself using the devices and the more the devices stay in my pocket or stay closed or whatever else and doing things sounds great to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it? I don't wanna keep up with movies these days. Yeah, that's fair. Every appliance I've experienced die, dies very unspectacularly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, but I mean like, the device itself just stopped working. Like it didn't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of it's getting really rough. Some of it's getting really, actually very hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do that for basically any institution that calls me. If it has anything to do with payment or changing pretty much anything, uhm, if the thing that we're discussing could hurt me at all, or if they ask for any form of authentication, then I call them back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I've had, back when- Why do you need to authenticate me? You called me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, back when Telus used to be cool, uhm, they used to call me every time that I had to renew my contract and they would be like, hey, uh, we're going to give it to you like either cheaper or you get the same price and more features. And I'd be like, sick, yeah, do it up. They'd be like, okay, bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I'm not going to call them back for that, whatever. It's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but they didn't ask for any authenticating things, they didn't ask for any payment stuff, they didn't ask for whatever, they just, yeah, it was fine. So that was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She should relax. It's quite a, like, genuinely... There's a lot of trauma in your mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember the name of them, and I'm sure floatplanechat will again be able to point it out, but my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember the doctor name for it, but dentist guy that does surgeries. Uhm, orthodontist? Is that right? Uh, no, I don't think so. They do, like, um, braces and stuff. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Either way. Uhm, he suggested this, like, drink that you can just get at, like, Savon or whatever else. Uhm, oral surgeon? Yeah, okay, sure. I thought it was more complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We bought, like, a bunch of this one type of drink, because it was recommended by the guy. Uhm. Is it Pedialyte? Ensure! Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the one. Uh, and we figured out that it's like very common for like, you know, old people that have trouble chewing because of various things that might be going on. And it tasted really good. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I was on all the drugs, I was like, this is great, yea, just, I'll just have this, this is no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like actually. Does it bring all the boys to the yard though? Probably. It brought me to the yard. Uhm. Nice. Where's the, can I get a nutrition label? Uhm, ensure nutritional info.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does have a lot of the vitamins. Where is its information? It's got a bunch of protein. Can I go to your screen so that we're not just imagining this? It has 9 grams of protein, but it also has 18% of your daily sugar in 220 calories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. Yeah, with milk protein in there as well, so it's basically a milkshake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was hilarious because I uhm, I was taking, I'm still taking athletic greens to kind of flush out my diet because I eat a lot of the same thing all the time so I'm sure I'm missing some stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you can try other things that don't need to have that type of success rate as much. What a lesson. Cause you're getting there anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I confidently said that I was getting sick less. Yeah. And then like, very shortly after saying that, I got sick like twice in a row and one of them lasted a really long time. Yeah, that was nasty. I don't know. Travel man, travel gets ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, travel and gatherings. Both of those two things are rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, uhm, capable of carrying 330 pounds of cargo. While this was a mass manufactured droid, or drone, built in China, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Built in China in 2022. Spanish? Authorities. Okay, yep. Found three submersible drones that were manufactured specifically to ferry drugs and capable of carrying 440 pounds of cargo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's also gonna have a lot of space in between the arms I suspect. Stay low. I suspect those arms are thin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I have a chance of getting out of the country and thus, not an insanely high chance of just being put back in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think people are gonna report like the guy that wants to work but refuses to give you a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's unfortunate. Anywho, 10 years. I have heard of a crazy amount of people finding out that like their parents, like someone cheated on somebody or something, cause they're like, huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have anything from this line. That's weird. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And also just like family lies in general. That might come from- Oh yeah, we have Irish heritage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? No, we don't. In some cases, I've heard that those were very well-intentioned actually, but it was eventually forgotten that it was a lie, if that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. Uh, because like they did so to avoid persecution or yada yada yada. Yeah. Uh, but then eventually the lie was kept


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so secret because it was so important that it just was forgotten eventually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, a Griff Aviation 300 can carry 227 kilograms or 500 pounds of weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only has a flight time of 31 minutes. You can get pretty far in 31 minutes. But that's yea, 15 kilometer range. Sorry, Griff? Aviation? Yeah, Griff aviation. There's an Ehang 184 that can carry 220 pounds and go 30 kilometers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's far enough away that you'd be kinda hard to track down. I'm looking at...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a Joav CW-80E that can carry 55 pounds and it has a flight time of 840 minutes or 100 to 200 kilometers, which is like, wow. Okay, what am I looking at? How big is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me how big it is. Griff 30? The one I was looking at was a Griff Aviation 300, not 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 0.6 meters would make more sense. Oh, kilo... 3.4 kilometers? Size? Length? That doesn't make any sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So mills is what they were going for there. There is a space, oh, they all have spaces. Nevermind, I think it's just a typo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when, when you look at the, whatever that icon is, I don't know, balloon or something. Barcelona's digital muse at theclueless.ai. You might think powered by AI is like, just part of the like, I'm pushing the company thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had seen, if you go to the top of her pictures, I had seen that top right one and didn't realize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw it on an unrelated article and I just scrolled right past it and no part of my brain was like, that's not a real person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been a bunch of accusations that I've seen that like a lot of the followers are, uh, like paid bot accounts and stuff, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, like, click on anything cause Instagram on desktop just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and if you scroll up, there's what? I thought this chick was real. I follow her. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, someone had an interesting point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I, that I want to kind of follow up about the, I don't remember her name, the AI person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't even find it in the doc. But that AI created influencer chick. Someone had an interesting point. At least in the US, I think, you can't copyright AI created works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like you could just AI create images of her doing things that are very bad for brands and then just post them? I guess you could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's a very assailable position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first Warcraft game I ever played was Warcraft 3, and I loved it. Oh, Warcraft 3 is amazing. I loved Warcraft 3, I loved Frozen Throne, I put an insane amount of time into custom games. I kept somehow losing the like, CD keys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I probably bought like three or four copies of that freaking game. I bought like three at least. But every single one of them was worth it, to be completely honest, because I put a ton of time into Warcraft III, and specifically Warcraft III custom games. I played an insane amount of Wintermall Wars. That's why I'm so excited about that new mode that you found for FAF.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Survival? Survival mode, yeaah. I think once we kinda get it, it's gonna be really fun, cause it reminds me a lot of some old... Tower defense games and stuff like that, yeaah. Which I always loved. I loved tower defense games. Very fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And then I will happily give props. That's fair. That's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I completely agree, if we're gonna, you know, we're gonna throw people under buses, we should also give them props when they do good stuff. Absolutely. But I just, I just don't believe it until it's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna, I'm gonna have some time this weekend to hopefully try Final Fantasy again, but I'm, I don't think I'm getting that thing yet. Oh, we made him a new computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was, I thought you were just gonna give it to me not knowing to be completely honest. No, I was fine with that. No, that's content. Oh, okay. Yeah, if it doesn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, I still have, I still have my computer with the AMD card laying on top of it, uhm, which I'm also fine with. Uhm, but it's very unstable in this one part of Final Fantasy, but, uh, I have some time this Sunday, so I'm gonna check if there's a new driver update, and if there is, I'm gonna give it another shot, cause I wanna keep progressing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm. I think it's a very strong argument. There's other people in chat even saying Breath of the Wild. Wild? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Legend of Zelda, TOTK? Chase of the Kingdom. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On their release, I think you've gotta go Breath of the Wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gave it a good old solid shot because a member of our team, an esteemed member of our team suggested it quite highly and I tried it and it wasn't really for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel, and I think this might be a negative reflection on where shooters are right now more than it is a praise for Titanfall 2. I think if you narrow it down to shooters, I think Titanfall 2 was the best shooter in the last decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, anyways, that conversation is literally cropping up around that game, which I think is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, couldn't believe it. Very good. The fact that someone else was racing against him at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think either lost their run or paused or something and then switched over to watch him win and was like congratulatory and very cool about it was also just like a fantastic reflection on that community. Um, yeah, very, very cool. Very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can theoretically get to level 255, but then it just loops back to level 0 or 1 or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Runs out of memory. Runs out of memory. Yeah, some, some problem happens. Or, or the amount of things that can cause it to crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would also, so I actually agree, but I would also throw out there that in my opinion, he just set himself up for a career as a successful streamer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Created a career for himself at 13 and you're gonna tell him to go outside and touch grass? Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the same way as people beat Pacman. Yea, Riley and I had this debate earlier to, uh, was that today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yesterday, uh, we had this debate yesterday. Uhm, I, I think a community can determine a beat point for a game if there isn't a clearly distinguished one. Or... Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here's where the confusing part gets though, because he had planned to beat it at like level 154 or something and ended up beating it at level 157. So the argument is like, could someone beat it at a higher level?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really care as personally, Riley didn't agree, but personally I don't really care as long as the community decides on a point, if that makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I know there's enough speed running communities, there's enough of these types of communities where they kind of have to come up with something. Right. Because it doesn't make a lot of sense and I'm personally okay with them doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've heard that now the, the competition moving forward is going to be like getting a higher score before you hit that crash, whether that's through getting more like Tetrises, which is where you clear four lines at once, I think. I'm not really, I was actually decently into Tetris for a while there, but not anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or just other, yeah, other various ways of making, try to, try to manipulate your score to be higher before you hit that crash point. And I guess that could maybe be by getting to a higher level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, come on. Please. The finger rolling thing is so sick. It's so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that too, that like, they tend to wear gloves. I think because the, the fingers like, slide better. By, by wearing like, like, it looks like cotton gloves. I don't know. So interesting. Absolutely wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashley, it fits like, you know, he's 13, he's playing games, what's your name? I don't know, I have a color I like a lot, and Scooty sounds cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I'm pretty sure a lot of people probably would have told you you were nuts when you got that place. Yeaah. But then yeaah, again, looking back at it now, it's like, it's a bargain. Yeaah. But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, it's, uh, I don't know. And it's crazy to think that it was so crazy back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how bad it was back then is like a joke compared to how bad it is now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so yea, Elijah's saying, like, what would that be? Uh, Abbotsford?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not close to here. Like decently far out. 400 grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brutal. Yeah, South Syria detached house starts at $1.5 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't. Yeah, we say, okay, so here's, here's another one of the problems too though, is in saying real dollars, I think that somewhat diminishes the fact that people here make less. Yeah. So like that's, that's something I don't think people equate either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also in certain career paths, it's very common for those jobs to cover that for you. Depending. Depending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a Sith now? What's going on? He's Obi-Wan Kenobi. You know, you can kind of pull it off with the beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clone Wars era Obi-Wan? It's not bad. It's actually pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well there's record levels of Canadians leaving the country because they can't afford to live here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine all of the money that the company makes never actually leaving. Sieghen says, we doing Linus Town again? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know... Yeah, I live in Prince George, make decent money, but will never own due to rent and housing prices. Yep. I think that's true for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how the heck you could do it. Like, unless you have parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should come into my building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the summer is going to be the most concentrated point in time where they hang out at home and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do home things. Well, remember there's- At least in my experience when I was growing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause like I'm thinking back when I grew up, we did a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one that was kind of, I'm sure if my brother and I like really desperately wanted to, my parents would have tried to find a way because they were like that. Uhm, but ice hockey was kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really in the cards. Because it was so expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ice hockey, especially at a competitive level, was extremely expensive because a lot of those teams were like flying around and stuff to play games. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the gear is wicked expensive, and you're growing out of it all the time, so you'd have to buy new gear all the time. But something like ball hockey, for example. Like, we were gonna do ball hockey pretty much no matter what. Uhm, you just needed sticks, and we never had the cool sticks, we never had the nice sticks. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like we could do it. We could play football. We played football all the time. My, my parents had me in a lot of programs is what I'm kind of trying to argue to a certain degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think taking away the extra curriculars is a good idea. Yeah, I hazard that one a little bit too, but I don't understand why any of the rest of it would be a bad idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we gotta stop. This is important. We gotta stop. There's a comment. So in a housing crisis, you're gonna collect yet another house in your housing quiver. No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is very common. There are particular families that have found a way to make it go for like literal ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's the only one. I think some families have very strongly baked in preserve the wealth stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As two people that grew up not wealthy at all. Yeah. Uh, more on the poorer side. I... It's obnoxious. I didn't like the rich kids. Me too. Like at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, yeah, like, I, I've, I've definitely met some exceptions too, but a lot of the times it's just, like, excessive out of touchness. Uh, so like, even if there's no intention there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, oh, you need a replacement part for that game, why don't you just throw you a new one? Yeah, exactly. I've told you this a story a billion times, but there was a person, uh, when I was in a certain class at a certain school, there was a person who dropped, they were holding their laptop like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they dropped it and it smacked into the ground and they just laughed and my brain just shattered because I couldn't understand it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd protect that thing with your life. Yeah. Yeah. And if I dropped it, which like, okay, sure, I used to render LTT videos, holding my laptop open so that it would cool better, walking between classes, like it was sketchy, but if I ever dropped it, I would be like, broken. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] laughing about it. Like it's just, it's, there's some, there's some like context aware things where your automatic reaction in certain scenarios, if you've never had any exposure to like life being difficult is going to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, most of mine was saving up for computers or computer parts or games or when I was very young it was candy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember for the SNES, my brother and I were on like, uh, you mentioned this term earlier, we were on a grind set for that SNES. I think my mom was just like making up chores at a certain point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some dude we bought a SNES off in a parking lot. Uhm, and I remember like sitting in the car with my brother, while my mom goes out and does this deal for a SNES in a parking lot, recognizing at that age like, this is kinda sketch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she got it to us because it was way cheaper than- Luke stolen goods lefreniere right here, baby. Yeah, I don't know. Uhm, but it was, yeah, it was like, it was when the N64 was already out, so it was a last gen console. Uhm, but I think that was honestly, I don't know if it was because we weren't as wealthy or if that was because that was less of a big deal back then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Cause I still thought SNES was like super cool when N64 was around. I thought it was just a different style of games, like N64 was more...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attempting to do 3D stuff and SNES was more like perfecting 2D stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That friend has that one, and that friend has that other one. Yeah, and I didn't really see them as like, better necessarily. I got really stoked when I figured out one of my friends had an original Ness. Cause I was like, woah, cool, I haven't played any of these games before. Like, I didn't really see it as like, this one is newer, therefore better. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Industry, oh my, uh, industry, largely because a lot of people are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there should be absolutely opportunities to learn and grow on the job for a junior, uh, because there should be opportunities to learn and grow on the job for everyone in the stack, uh, including seniors. Uh, that being said, if you're being actively paid,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to be expected to produce something of value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like you're just going back into school, but this time school pays you. Uhm, you actually have to make things that bring the company value. Uhm, you're just gonna have, as a junior, you should have more time and opportunity to work through those problems, uh, than other people may have, and you should


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know bounce questions off of, but you should try to solve it yourself first. You should take the opportunity to try to do that. And then if you get hard stuck, then you can bring it to them and see how you can move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that would be my answer. Don't shy away from applying. Uh, places are probably gonna send you tests and things like that and do the tests and if you don't get callbacks after the tests,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worry about it. Just move on to the next one and keep going. Uh, you need to get in somewhere. You need to start getting some experience on your resume and you need to start getting some experience just as a developer, as a person. So just send it. Um, don't take it too personally. Don't get too imposter syndrome. Uh, before you end up getting a job, um, uh, work on your portfolio if you can keep training, keep moving forward. We're all going to make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very excited for you guys to watch it, and I am also very excited to watch it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fun to do things with them. Yeaah, it's been okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely, I think would be weird, but having them on all the time would be weird. They show up every once in a bit. I think that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From what I can find, the three million unit number that people are throwing around for the Steam Deck is a estimation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They reported that the Steam Deck sold 1.62 million units in 2022. Not sure why they think they know that or not. I haven't looked into the report at all. Uh, and then their report estimated that the Steam Deck would pass 3 million units sold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always pretty surprised at how many people have them. I also think it's kind of interesting that when I say I don't have them, how surprised people are. Cause they're like, what? I do? Like that's very often the response that I get. So yeah, they're, they're, they're, they be out there. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's going on? Is there, was there like a new technology discovery or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's- he's checking if he can say, I think. That's what my guess is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emma, my girlfriend, is more knowledgeable about birds and the care of birds than I am. I like to think I'm no slouch in that regard, but she's much better studied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look up, cause I don't want to say it and be wrong. Look up, uh, the things that you shouldn't have or be doing near your birds or probably in your home at all. Some of that is like cooking with Teflon. Some cleaners are also included in that. They are like mostly made out of air. And if airborne things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you need to make sure that there aren't bad contaminants, that you're not like cooking stuff that can overwhelm them. Uh, that you, there's no, people are saying no smoking in the house. They're not kidding. Uh, no smoking in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that can be really bad for them. They're very, very fragile beings. As birds, they hide when they're sick. They don't want to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be very active with their environment. When you first get them, they can be very shy. Uh, they might hide in their little box for a long time, stuff like that, but they're very social animals. They're going to want to hang out with you, but you need to constantly poke them out of there. Not actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, change up their environment. Give them, give them something that they're not comfortable with yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last night, I just put a random recently cleaned so that I knew it would be safe, uh, but a random sock near their cage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just one that they hadn't seen before. So that they would be like, huh, what's that? Is it safe? Is, is it? Stimulation. Yeah. Keep them active. Keep them stimulated. They're, they're smart and they're very social. So keep those things rolling. Spend actual time with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And change up their environment and stuff so that they have to learn new things, get used to different things, uhm, accept different things as safe. They'll also accept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get them used to getting used to things. Anyways, I'll stop there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do reverse thumbnail search, by the way. That's one of the things that I do. I try to figure out if the exact product pictures they have are from elsewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of legal issues and stuff too. Uhm, before I forget, you mentioned you're excited to see all the weird AI things at CES. You should, like, keep a tally of how many of them you can, like, break. Ugh, no. That sounds like too much work. You're an AI fridge? No. You're helping me buy a car or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that that's often what you reference from the book, because it's my favorite part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. But this was a, this was a bit ago I think. Was it? If I'm thinking of the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, wow, should, should, do you see the like, uhm, wow, it's all reviews right now are overwhelmingly positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, so there's videos of a ton of different people playing it, so I think I've seen, like, thumbnails for people playing this game, which is why I knew about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also, I mean, there's other streamers in here too. It's not just Asmr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the issues I have with it is yeaah, the comfort side of things. I don't think I would want to do that for 8 hours in a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, okay. You handed an essay on like, Ponyboy? Or whatever, is it Ponyboy? No, Gold?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Outsiders, yeah, yeah, yeah. You handed an essay on Ponyboy from the Outsiders, uh, and it's like, your essay on War and Peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How is, like, if, if a teacher has to vet it all anyways, aren't they just gonna have to read the whole essay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, City of Heroes has been dead for a long time. I'm assuming what this means is they legitimized this fan server because Sony's not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not doing anything with this dead game anymore. Uhm, so maybe you have to own a copy of the game similar to how Forge Alliance Forever does it, which is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fantastic solution in my opinion, uhm, I don't know, I know none of the details, I've never heard of this, but them, it, it, it sounds,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My god. That's amazing. That is ex- and this is Sony?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, NCsoft's decision to embrace the FN server.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not sure what that means. Uhm, shows a shift in sentiment, giving hope for future community content in the gaming industry. This is awesome. What should happen. This is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know if someone else misspoke, or if I misspoke, or what, but yeah, Sony has definitely nothing to do with this. Well, that makes more sense now. Oh, you did say Sony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you pull it out, not very often. It's a hit every time it comes out. You want to kind of limit it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I thought, Luke. Uh, did you talk about the EVs? Nope. Oh, nice. Okay, so GM is to bring back, uh, plug-in hybrid EVs, which is awesome, actually. Yeah, hilarious. Something that we've been asking for for a while now, and- Ever since they stopped making-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are interested in that, there's a video on that that's awesome, where they test all the CPUs, go back and check that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That person thinks it shouldn't have been in the video. I'm joking. I'm joking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think it would have gotten more views if the sentiment around it was better because the 7900 XTX was included?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the idea of, we'll still produce that type of content. It'll just be an article on the Labs website. It'll be a craft. And if it's in the creation of that, we're like, whoa, there's a cool story here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's a video. Now there's a video. Cause that's, that's something we've discussed about how the lab site could work for a really long time. So you can still come to Linus Tech Tips, Linus Media Group to get this type of information. Just clearly you're sniping the video for graphs anyways. So just go to the site and get the graphs. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People don't have to pull like crazy fever dream all nighters and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was also at a very particular time, which makes sense why it would have peaked, uh, September 17th, 2020, when everyone was like, I'm gonna stay indoors for a super long time. This was the peak. And you can play video games with computers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah it is. I don't know. And like, to be completely honest, uhm, a lot of the old cards are fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, uh, like 1440p monitors, uh, 90 to 144 frames per second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decently old cards are running a lot of new games, no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I've, or not personally, ever bought one that ended up being a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like someone in chat, I think I lost the message, but, uh, let's see. Red Pigeon in chat said, my 3080, it's a pretty high end card, uh, but my 3080 still runs everything I play perfectly. The only game it struggles in at high settings is cyberpunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like an extremely insanely hard game to run, especially in high settings. It's also one game. Yeaah. So play it, and then... Just run it at like medium. It'll still look great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baldur's Gate 3 is gonna run fine. Oh yea. Uh, I, I, for a period of time, ran Baldur's Gate 3 on a, uh, Titan RTX, which is 2080 equivalent, I think, roughly. No problem whatsoever. 2080 Ti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's ridiculous, yeah. Uhm, but, but still, that's, that's multiple generations back. And, uh, I, I don't think I noticed a huge difference when I put in one of the newer, more powerful cards. It's just, whatever. So that's two of the biggest games in the last quite a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither of which would have an issue with a 2000 series card, let alone a 3 or 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can run a lethal company on a potato, that's another game that blew up recently. Yep. Speaking of running games on a potato.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potato powered computer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, good. Run for like a second. If you got it to turn on at all. You probably could. I have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see. My point though. Yes. Is that it comes with 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, and like this is Canadian dollars, so when you look at 4080 Super in Canadian dollars, there is easily enough money to get a very solid TV on top of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to make some clarifications. Sure. Apparently the Xbox All Game Pass Ultimate All Access something or other, whatever I called it, is some form of financing option thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, is that why- So you pay for it over 24 months and then it comes with Game Pass Ultimate. So you pay for like the console and Game Pass Ultimate as a subscription for 24 months. Oh, okay. But then I think you own the console at the end or something, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. What? Apparently it's 0% interest, that 24 month payment thing. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't know anything about it, I'm not suggesting finance models, I just found one that isn't financing, is US dollars, cause that's the main thing we're having the conversation in, and it's less than 500 bucks, so the point still completely stands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause back then I wa- I didn't really care, I cared. I mean this is still honestly kind of true. I just- PCs can play so much more now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but back then I was in it for the games for the most part, and I got interested in computers mostly because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I needed to learn how to work with them and fix them and keep them going to be able to play games and like I needed to learn basic networking because my friend and I wanted to play Diablo on LAN and then I needed to learn


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still basic, but slightly less basic networking because we wanted to have lands of like a bunch of computers and multiple Xboxes all at the same time and I wanted to be able to host servers for things and all this kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was all largely because of games, and that's what drove my passion for technology. Uhm, but we pretty much always had consoles at the same time, and I would always pretty much play both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because like, I talk about how Morrowind is my favorite game of all time, all the time. I didn't play it on PC. I had it on Xbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played the crap out of the Halo games, not on PC. Yep. I played them on Xbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a... some of my favorite memories of playing games with my dad were on Super Nintendo and N64. Like... And he played Warcraft 2 on PlayStation 1. Not on PC. No, I'm just kidding. Please don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had PCs as well, but it was about what game I felt like playing at the time. And if PCs were this hard to get into, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, we didn't have a ton of money. It would have come down to a costing issue and would have stuck with consoles. It just is what it is. And I probably still would have gotten interested in technology because I still would have been having LANs, still would have had to network these consoles together and stuff, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to see on Newegg right now what I can get for less than $4.49. USD. Like if I'm an American shopper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I set my filter down here to 449 cap. Uhm, so I can, I can get an entire Xbox Series X with a controller and stuff. Or I can get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm trying different filter options and stuff. I just did best rating. Uhm. Sure. Okay, so what do we got? 4060 Ti. Awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 460 Ti, I'm not really seeing above that, I think. Uhm, there's 7600 XTs and stuff, but those are lower, at that point you're saving like almost a hundred bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying it's a bad deal, I'm just trying to look for ones that are closely priced to that Xbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whole point is that it's rough. Yeah. 13% is the seller fees on GPUs at the moment, apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just searched the word television. Sure, but like, I wanna browse Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that I- You're just saying to get good. Am right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I missed it. I legitimately don't use Amazon, so where, where is it? Where's TV?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the restoration of color, it will bring you a feeling of being immersed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inception, yea, but you gotta go deeper. I don't think there's a deeper layer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorta. No, I'm not. This two-star lamp replacement is very relevant. Dude, this is a dumpster fire. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of, of Amazon and other various websites, right? Like it's just getting worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the odds? Hey, hey, Amazon.ca is actually better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People recommended that, and they're not wrong. Oh wow. So I went to all, and then I had to scroll down further, I think? Uh, shop by department, electronics, computer, and office. Is this what I did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Yeaah. For sure. Like, like actually. Yep. And I'm not even just saying that cause I'm also Canadian. But like, it actually does. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway. It like literally was the fur trade for a while. That was it's only point in existing. And that's why Hudson's Bay like owned it all. It was super weird. I don't know. Oh hey, Luke, check this out. Sup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a saying. They actually have a surprisingly solid electronics department?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a good lesson on running errands. Why would I drive the Taycan? You were just trying to be a dad who teaches his son things. Why did I take the Taycan though? That was it. You were trying to teach him a lesson. Yea, but why did I take the Taycan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to do that before. The last time was by- Aaaaaah, sorry, sorted in flow plane chat. I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got em. But it could in this case, so it is still a Taycan. So a 65 inch TV does!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish the internet worked more like that. Your website is cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I disagree with pretty much all of the things that the Pokemon Go community seems to care about because I play it for wildly different reasons than I think most people do. Uhm, so I don't care at all about regionals in Pokemon Go. I don't even care slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hate, like, all my takes on Pokemon Go. And that's fine, and they can just be mad about things, and that's okay. But yeah, I don't really care about regionals. If a regional happens- Can you explain what a regional is for those of us who don't Pokemon Go? Got it. Certain Pokemon are only available to be caught in certain areas of the world. Right. I don't need them. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care. Right. And now if I happen to be there and I get one. Right. Neat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, it's very likely one of them will travel at some point, happens to go somewhere and gets a bunch of them, you can just trade them something and they can come back and then you get it. Like it just, I, I don't know, who cares? Why do you care?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to a certain re- to a certain degree, you should want that because that means there's more content, but you just gotta not be obsessive about the content. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What have we even talked about? Yeah, but we're second monitor. You're not obsessed. Hold on. We're second monitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do need, I do need more, we still have to talk about that. Oh my goodness. We'll get you one of those 55 inch TVs and just divide it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two minute poll, here we go. Alright, Luke, carry on. Okay, so this is gonna be nothing to you, but there's a, there's a thing in the game called Shadow Raids. And in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's nothing to me, I was gonna get a snack. That works, I can talk to the community. I'm actually kidding. Uhm, so, over the pandemic, I quit playing over the pandemic because the reason I would play it was to go outside, but uhm, over the pandemic they added something called the Remote Raid Pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanted to do a raid, you could buy, cause I don't think there was any opportunity to get them for free, maybe there was at some point, there isn't now, you could buy a remote raid pass. Sure, but, uh, can I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. Raid is usually for more rare types of Pokemon. I think the most commonly done one by at least groups of people would be Legendary Raids, which are the harder ones. They introduce these remote raid passes so you wouldn't have to go outside in order to raid. A cool idea!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I doubt it works, to be honest, because people show up for like a few minutes and leave, they don't really, anyways, whatever. Uhm, but shadow raids, you, which have a certain type of Pokemon, don't worry about it, it doesn't matter, you can't remote raid into them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Shadow Raids, Shadow Legendaries, so like a Shadow Zapdos, is only gonna show up on the weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fantastic. But no one else is a true Scotsman. That's exactly what I want. And people are mad because they want to be able to remote raid pass into Shadow Raids. And I'm like, actually, I would rather if we...couldn't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, now, if people want this thing, if people are going to go catch a ball, then they're going to have to come out for a walk. Right, okay. So like, I have differing opinions to the majority of the community, which is fine, they can want to play the game however they want to play the game, that's no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I, I, I play it because like this weekend there's a thing going on and I'm probably gonna walk like 15 plus kilometers in a day. And that's great because getting myself to do that without a gamified motivation is harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I'm like, excited to go walk a crazy amount of kilometers. Some people are just gonna put a bunch of lures down and sit on their butt for the entire event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It puts like a vision cone in front of you. Like anyone that walks in front, it challenges them to battle. Uhm, someone said, I agree, but as a wheelchair user, there needs to be a wheelchair mode. Wouldn't you just wheelchair around? Well, depends. Not everywhere is wheelchair accessible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I go to every time I do one of these is very wheelchair accessible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't want to go out. I would love if there was solutions for that type of stuff. I'm not against solutions for that type of stuff. I think there's ways to accomplish that. Uh, like maybe make it that you can invite a maximum amount of people to remote raids per day and you have to be a certain level of friends with them because like there's a, there's a, if you hadn't stolen my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot about that until now. I knew you would. There's a, there's a, uh, there's multiple apps. There's a ton of different apps that you can use, uh, to host, uh, which I'll do sometimes or, or to, to remote raid in other people's things. So the community element is just fully digital now. Um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I understand the countering argument because you can play the game more and honestly probably enjoy it more and play it at a more competitive level and all these other types of things and be much more immersed and in the Pokemon Go experience if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you're able to remote raid roll more and you're able to catch more things from your house, like if your catch radius is bigger so you can get more things from your house and all this type of stuff. I get that, but the reason why I want to play the game personally, on a personal level, is because it gets me outside and moving and more active and in the sun and all that type of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, my motivation is less about Pokemon. It's more about personal health and, and fitness and wellbeing and stuff like that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the idea that I don't have to do those things alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have genuinely received the response. I've been like, oh, I want to go do this thing. Like, let's go to whatever park and walk around and try to do as much as we can. I have genuinely received the response of like, ah, I'm probably just going to hang out at home. I'll, I'll remote raid it. And it's like, ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what do you think of Pal-World? Oh, I haven't played. I've played it. Uhm, I hope it's a major wake-up call to Pokemon, and that's honestly pretty much my only feeling about it. Yeah. It's the best Pokemon game that has released in many years. It makes, uh, what was it called? Legend of Arceus or something? What was that game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it was even called, because it didn't matter at all, uh, it makes that game look like a joke. Yeah. Uhm, and hopefully Game Freak wakes up and does something with that IP, because it's incredibly frustrating, as like, a person who does like Pokemon, that the Pokemon game's like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, ones that don't use technology? Or, or that like, oh, they're still running the same computer with serial cables from the like, early 90s?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if this is in the doc right now, but Japan is dealing with like the fact that a bunch of businesses are still sending the government like floppy disks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say, being in Japan, a lot of the more tactile things still being around is kinda nice. More things tend to have physical buttons, uhm, more things tend to have moving physical components involved that don't seem like they're gonna break often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, uhm, but, but genuinely, if you're, if you're into tech at all, even if you hate sports, if you look into the tech that the NFL uses, uhm, for, for NFL games, it's, it's really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty wild. That is actually an extremely tech-forward, uh, organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could do a like a NASA style to compute thing where you have Hawkeye try to figure it out and you have something that watches it and tries to figure it out. Well I think they do have that. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] EROB18FullPlayingChat, I don't necessarily know how true this is, but I've worked with Hawkeye at a grand slam tennis tournament. It's not 100%. They use a lot of cameras.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Sony, and then also Hawkeye. We need to release preemptive videos for every future project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, so we went way above, we went way below, and then we found the pretty reasonable spot in the middle, and now we have offers that might result in it being way above.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we do have a crowd section though. They can all be on treadmills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the vast majority of most people's driving is A, extremely predictable, and B, not super long range. But, you want your car to be able to do that sometimes, so the EV solution is enormous batteries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it. But you can make plug-in hybrid cars that have a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To convert from horsepower to watts, simply multiply by 746. Nope, I'm over it. To convert from watts to horsepower, multiply by 0.00134.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's do it. I've just been hearing you talk about this forever, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, oh, oh, handyman's bringing a good point, make sure it's updated. Are there any updates that this device needs? I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that sounds like a very normal Apple thing though. Uhm, because they always make you re-sign in or re-pin into like everything when you have an iPhone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it wasn't that companies were necessarily just happened to be submitting this way. It required companies to submit official documents in outdated and defunct media formats like mini disks, floppy disks, and CD-ROMs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year, many but not all of those requirements will be sunset, finally allowing companies to move beyond 1.4 megabyte floppy disks, which stopped being sold by their last major manufacturer, Sony, in 2011.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, discussion question is why do institutions hold on to legacy media? Why is it so hard to modernize? I think a lot of it is if it works, don't fix it kind of mentality, which is honestly often not the wrong kind of mentality. Uhm, especially for things that were fine, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like if all you need to submit is a document, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their system works that way, it's probably okay. I know there's like, there's issues at scale, at like government scale as well, and you only have a certain amount of budget. Like if your IT team only has a certain amount of budget, uh, they're going to have to cut things, um, to be able to do other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and if I'm, if I'm assuming that they're not misusing this budget, which is highly questionable, but if I am assuming that they're not misusing this budget, they're gonna put it towards other things that might need it more, uhm, than something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Also, there's, there's someone who brought up, isn't it really hard to hack into really old tech? It's not necessarily true, uh, but it might not be as much of a target. Um, or, or people might not know, um, how to do it, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the fine text there? If you don't have iTunes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are also pointing out a bunch of different things. Yeah, purchasing things as a government entity is often very interesting, uh, cause you can't just like go out and buy the cheapest one. You have to go through like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or more probably in my opinion, it was enough companies complaining about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to get the steps that they want you to do from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke's gonna do another quick topic, right? Sure, yeah. Apple launches the Vision Pro. The Vision Pro released today after reportedly taking just over 200,000 pre-orders. First impressions from customers have been broadly positive. Some of the ones that I've talked to personally, this is not in the notes, have been very positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vision Pro was praised for its crisp displays, minimal latency, pass-through mode, very impressive, uhm, and hand-eye control interface. We already knew that the Vision Pro was going to be on the heavier end of headsets, although, I'm gonna add a note here, uh, still lighter than a number of other ones, uhm, but most reviewers noted that they really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that they really notice the weight, especially after a few hours. Uhm, due to how front heavy it is, yeaah, the back is just the strap. Uhm, a lot of other ones have either a more substantial strap or something weighing off the back, so it helps counterbalance. This one's weight is basically all out the front of your face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Impressions of the floating and tangible keyboard range from clunky to usable. I cite the Vision Pro's digital representation of the user's eyes on the external display is also apparently very uncanny looking in real life. Yeaah, it looks very different. I think Marques made a big note of this. It looks very, very different than, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The examples in the, I don't know what you'd call it, product announcement, trailer, videos, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Meta likewise announced today a new update adding playback support for Apple's stereoscopic spatial video, which can be recorded on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max to their own Quest headsets, as well as support for using gamepads with the Quest browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know who wrote this but it says I googled and while vision pro supports gamepads it doesn't look like it supports the browser thing but anyway. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, discussion question, is this the most out there Apple product launch you can remember? Man, you sure picked a meaty topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. Where did you subscribe to it? Did you subscribe to it in the Apple Arcade app?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I might go to settings then. I would scroll down from here. I wouldn't immediately go to users and accounts. I would scroll down. Look, look, look. Okay, then I would probably go to users and accounts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Is Game Center the thing that you were subscribed to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, so this isn't the exact same. So if I search it on my laptop, it shows view recent sleep time and then sleep country Canada. In his example, view recent sleep time was not there. Uh, it was, it was just sleep country Canada. So if he typed sleep and then quickly press enter, it would have just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleep country Canada. Yeah. You should probably buy a mattress somewhere else. I did. Nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you live up here, that's a jingle you know. Just how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tries to auto-correct it to Sleep Country Canada, and it best matches to Sleep Country Canada. That's absurd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, advertise better, nerds. Alright, Apple, uh, Apple Vision Pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the one way or the other is an important point because runjun just said in floatplane chat, I can't update my Samsung earbuds on my iPhone either. Really? But what about on a computer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't say that. They didn't say that. Don't hamburger this hot dog. They said they can't on an iPhone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a $3,500 monitor that you could have in scenarios, but you can't have a monitor. Yeah. I think is, is it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you should use it in more scenarios than that. I think you should have, uh, like, Yvonne drive the car, and you work on your live hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, based on their low latency pass through, it feels like that might be possible. Uhm, but I'm not suggesting that you do it. Cool, that's good. I think that might also be literally illegal. I would think so. I would hope so, to be honest. Yeah. Uhm, but, uh, yeah, no, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're going on a trip sometime, wear it on a plane, and set up a bunch of monitors instead of your laptop, and see if it's interestingly productive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as I don't want to, I know it would be fine for me. I work almost exclusively in browsers. Why would it matter for me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm being told that you can only do one monitor replacement with it. Uhm, I know I saw people with more than that of screen, so maybe you can do one monitor replacement and then other apps around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking specifically for the laptop usage, by the way. Yeah. When I'm saying I'm sure I'd be fine on a Mac book, I'm saying just to replace the laptop that I have. I would still need the desktop. 100%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see that's a little bit more drastic. If I was just replacing my laptop, genuinely, I think it would be completely fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, so apps can be the other ones, you can only screen share one MacBook screen, and, uh, that's at 1440p apparently. That's what Chad's saying. Which I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And Matt, who was doing monitor replacement, uh, Matt from the Labs web development team, who was doing monitor replacement, uhm, sometime last week with a Quest, had three monitors on the Quest. So it is kind of a weird limitation. And I wonder if you're right. I wonder if it's something to do with Mac OS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's based on the display. Yeah, see, I don't know. Don't take the things that I'm reading from chat as like 100% fact. It's just interesting to discuss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That being said, I think they're gonna have a bunch of tech people that are gonna be happy to jump into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. Sure. It's still- That's not my point. It's also, I would say, it's still in a range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, to spend that much money on something very fresh, experimental, stuff like that. Is wild. Is wild. It's asking a lot. Both of those amounts are in the, that's wild category. Are they the same? No, not at all. No. But like... Man, Google Glass was only five years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have over a thousand dollars of throw it away, this might be complete trash spending money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think a lot of traveling tech people will find a legitimate way to justify it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were just talking about the price of GPUs earlier, a VR headset for $3,500. I mean, we were, we were balking at VR headsets that were less than a thousand, not that many years ago. Now it's $3,500. Yeah, that's obviously crazy. I think there's gonna be a market of people that are interested in it. I literally know people that have already bought it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, no, not me. I thought you were saying you do too, and then I realized that you were saying anybody, but I know other people as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multiple, actually. Uhm, and pretty much all of them are unanimously saying, monitor replacement, not at my desk. So they're not trying to replace their currently existing multi-monitor setup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they are trying to make it so that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for the vast majority of people, yes, but they had 200,000 pre-orders. And they're gonna sell a bunch more, I guarantee it. Apple's a hell of a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't bother reading into this earlier in the week because I assumed it was like, is it on that one? Yea. I assumed that it was, uhm, just like, you know, a way to jailbreak AIs that we've had forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People just bought it for whatever reason, but that's not it. That's not it at all. It is way cooler than that. A team at the University of Chicago released their new free


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, art generation models that scrape art without permission by identifying the subject of the image then applying a tag that subtly alters the image at the pixel level


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So other AI programs see something totally different than what's actually there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. Gradually this will poison the AI's training data by making it misclassify the original images and therefore generate confused, muddled, hallucinated images.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The changes Nightshade makes are reportedly more robust than watermarks, as the effect remains even when the image is screenshotted, cropped, uh, compressed, or even filtered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same team has previously released a separate program called Glaze, intended to confuse AI training algorithms, so they interpret the image as having a completely different style than it actually does. They recommend using both together for the best effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a discussion question, which I guess is Dan and I now. Can we expect the notion of copyright to change in the AI era and how? Uh, because you know, everything is eventually made using tools that involve some kind of AI trained on some other type of copyrighted material, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, I don't know. All I know is I think this is super cool. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find the tool war of AI to be an extremely interesting thing. I wish I had read into this more so before the show because I think it's super interesting and I will do so. I will, I will dive further into it after the show. There is a really cool, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Page, just nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu slash what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is.html, I might as well do the whole thing. And they have a whole write up, uhm, talking about it. You should check that out if you are interested. Super cool. I love this kind of stuff. Fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that if you don't want your stuff shared, you have some tools in order to, uh, you know, make it worse, which is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. Is that Miss Vicky's? Yea. We have Miss Vicky's now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some, uh, actually somewhat interesting AI news this week. Google, uh, the Bard chatbot can now use Google's own Imogen 2 model to generate images. Congratulations, you're slowly, uh, feature matching other things. Uh, generative AI chat is being added to Google Maps. Uh, awesome. That's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A chatbot, oh, rip Rufus USB. Uh, announce Rufus, a chatbot in beta that will help customers shop on the platform. Maybe you'll be able to find TVs more easily. Uhm, and Apple, according to Tim Cook, Apple is putting a tremendous amount of time and effort into AI and plans to share more details later this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a, okay, uh, perhaps something related to their published paper about getting LLMs running locally on iPhones, that would actually be cool. That would actually be sweet. That...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would make buying an iPhone significantly more intriguing in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's over the last couple of weeks I guess, right? I think it, I think it might have gained a setting where you can now set Teams' default browser to something that isn't Edge, but when it first happened, I don't think that was possible, which was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. And then people were having, we're, we're, we're slowly, there's going to be notes in the Monday morning meeting about this, uh, for people that work at the company, but we're slowly working on a migration and it will be announced as a full migration on Monday to everyone in the company using Teams for meetings instead of Google Meet through calendar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in doing that, we've been finding a lot of problems with Teams meetings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did the standard plan, cause I dunno, whatever, there isn't a big difference between standard and basic, so I did standard. And then 1080p, cause that's what we're streaming in. I'm saying the WAN show is roughly 4 hours, we have that many viewers. Uh, and this is average viewers, so I did 100% of the stream, cause I don't have the total amount of viewers in order to give a lower percentage, so we did 100% of the stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this isn't some number that Luke pulled out of his butt. No, this is from Amazon's actual cost estimator. This is Amazon IVS cost estimator. This is the thing that Kik uses. And Twitch uses. And Twitch, yeah, effectively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, someone mentioned pirate software. Yeah, I'd seen this before, but I saw his thing on this, uh, and that reminded me of this site, which is why I showed Linus. He's, pirate software's really cool. But, uhm, yeah, then I looked over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They look like halfway up a slope is around here, actually. Okay. Uh, maybe even higher. So what's that? This is fairly low, as far as I can tell, for average.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, obviously they would have volume discounts, probably very significant ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's, it's entertaining to throw it in the calculator anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's an avenue that I honestly wish we never went down. Uh, we can't take it back now, but I wish- I mean we can, but we shouldn't. We shouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, it's, it's rough. What, what I like in my head kind of wish we did was, was just develop a live chat that detects if a Twitch or YouTube or whatever else stream is live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's rough too because something that was actually very surprising to me using the steaming, uh, streams chart site, I don't know how accurate it is, I just found it today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stream charts. Twitch's was really high, right? 140,000 channels, 2.2 million viewers. This was surprising to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They peaked, what is, is this yesterday? Seven days ago. They peaked at 8 million viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like I was looking at our numbers and we had yeah, 13,000 live on YouTube and then 2900 on, on Twitch. Uhm, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. It's just, it's an interesting, it was a, it was a fun dive. Uh, cause I, yeah. Yeah. It's just a fun dive. Seeing the numbers of these companies is interesting. And you know, you know, there's going to be like insane volume discounts, especially when you start getting to the numbers that we were talking about. Like it's going to be a totally different world. Um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's still interesting to see. There's a lot of money being pumped through IVS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's pretty wild. Uhm, and like it's, it's an interesting, the streaming economy in general is really interesting because there's all these companies just losing money hand over fist. And then the viewers and a lot of the streamers, uh, are really mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the viewers are angry because sites like Twitch are inputting more ads or making different viewing experiences worse in certain ways or potentially pressing the creators that they like so they're mad for the creators to do like their own transcoding or whatever else we've seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worst thing I had happen was I was handling a hard drive while doing some work on my mineral oil computer and my hand was oily and it went shwoop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. And there was nothing coming off that drive from there on. Was unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just went to Facebook and it has 29 viewers, so I underestimated. I'm sorry. I apologize. Sorry, Facebook. I guessed 20. I didn't count 9 of you. Yep. Was your mom one of the ones you didn't count?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not personally. It'll just get faster, more efficient. Until we can like, just, there's a building, there's gonna be some amount of progress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a friend who was an MRI service technician, uhm, and passed away over the Covid period, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was working like insane hours because of COVID stuff and just talking to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that all that stuff works in the song and dance that it has to work in is, is pretty impressive. IT people that work for hospitals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bad for your windshield. It'll scratch it up. Windshield's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've done it once. Uh, I didn't know there was insert things, but I assumed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I went to Canadian Tire and asked for them. They said they don't exist. They didn't tell me that they don't have them. They said they don't exist. And then I said, okay, what one of these things do I need for my car? And the guy handed me one. I went outside. It was clearly incorrect. I came directly back inside because my plan was just swap it in the parking lot. Like I don't care. You were talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opening the mattress and stuff at the parking lot, but absolutely, I was doing maintenance on my car in the parking lot. Uhm, I go back inside, I'm like, this is wrong. And they're like, you can't return it. So I ended up spending...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're talking about hourly rate, well, longer than it was worth convincing them to take it back and they did eventually take it back. And then I bought the right one, which I just figured out by Googling. Um, and then finally swapped it. And that was actually, I mean, other than debating with them about how I should be able to return something if they were literally the ones that told me it would work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus tries to change his windshield wipers. Like saving, saving ten dollars by spending hundreds of dollars worth of hours. And that's the whole premise of the channel. Yeah. That'd be sweet. Yeah. I'd watch it. You know what? I'd watch it too. And have two viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, Coburn gets it. It's not about the wipers. It's about not letting them win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the preemptive work, it's all in the work that you do while you're already working on that project. And that is generally, uh, note taking, organization planning, stuff like that. I don't know what Linus is trying to do. Um, and you can extrapolate this to things that aren't serious as well. So you should do this for things that are serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we want to switch to... Oh, no, that's the wrong one. Uh, that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reading, researching, inspecting. So we're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stayed up all night and then went and, uh, taught a plumbing lecture and then came back and kept gaming so he didn't sleep at all. And Daris, I thought he went home to go sleep. He went home, remembered that his truck was like partially taken apart and like, I don't remember exactly what he did, he like, uh, replaced the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuel injectors or something? I don't remember what it was, but he did this like whole maintenance project on his truck for the entire duration of the night, didn't sleep at all, and then came back. Uhm, which was why when he was in the Left 4 Dead tournament before the finals game, he, he, he jumped out of his chair and just did a bunch of pushups because he was trying to like get his blood flowing so he could wake up so he could play back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this. Yeah. I didn't know it was called that. And honestly, based on the website, it's kind of hard to tell, but yeah. Looks sketch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right before the new one comes out. Or gets announced, at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can, if you can, I mean it's still cool. It's still very cool. Cause you can get micro SD cards that are like a terabyte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Canadian store doesn't work, but you can go to American stores that ship to Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is just Shopify. Yeah, there's just Shopify stores that shipped account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I, I, uh, I don't subscribe to services though. Yeah, that's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it, is it a hundred and fifty? A hundred and fifty-one. Oh, sorry. Yeah, one thousand twenty-five. So maybe you are correct, but in that generation there's a hundred and fifty-one. Yeah, okay. You said the games though. Uhm, one thousand fifteen, is that what you said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you can put all those Pokemon in something called Pokemon Home that I don't know anything about, but I know you can put Pokemon there from all the different games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have no faith that it will get cyberpunked because the problem in my opinion-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why I said, I wanted to say a company, not a, not an individual franchise. Uh, I don't think they're capable anymore. I actually don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you look at the, you look at the trajectory ever since Oblivion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually, in my opinion, every game from every franchise from Bethesda ever since Oblivion has been some form of regression. And people are gonna be pissed off because everyone loved Skyrim. But in my opinion, Skyrim was kind of the beginning of the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in, in like a huge amount of different ways. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are talking about modded versions of the Elder Scrolls. Yeaah, but that's not the game. Uhm, there's, I, I, Skyrim modding is fantastic, uh, Starfield modding is, uh, required to even have a potential of enjoying any percentage of the game, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is nowhere near as good. The person who made the multiplayer mod for Skyrim was looking into playing, making a multiplayer mod for Starfield. And just didn't bother. His quote on it, I wish I could find it. He just eviscerated them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be smaller teams making more bespoke things.

[Assistant] Storm gate's coming out in two days? No. Is it really? Did this sneak up on me like that? Wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It works with the side panel off, uhm. Alright, we'll, we'll, alright, we'll, we'll let the people watch the video. I've put it through some stuff though, and like, when it, when it, uhm, I haven't recreated this scenario, but when it did overheat that one time, I was pushing it very hard. But can you play Final Fantasy VI? I haven't tried yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you had to just read the manual. I enjoy tactile stuff in general, but like, when we were playing Anno, which I would still like to play again sometime. Yeah, yeah, we should go back to our world and like, you know, figure out what the heck we were doing. But when we were playing Anno, I used to take written notes on a, on a, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that we could figure out what the heck we were supposed to do next time. Steam has since introduced a feature that I try to be, uh, you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That are cloud-saved and game-specific, which is like the coolest thing ever. So, I would have just digitized them if that feature existed back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also a Uplay game. You can probably force Steam Overlay onto it, but... Not sure. Anyways, yeah, Stormgate. That looks sick. I kind of hope that the future of games is actually...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aiming a little bit less high on the difficult, expensive things. And still aiming really high on the fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to achieve their goals. I don't even think I want to get into that conversation. This is dangerous. You're asking for seats. There's knives to my throat right now, man. Uh, the usage of AI, how much you should do, how much you can do, all that kind of stuff is very, very intrigue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean I did this, I'm assuming you probably did to a certain degree as well back in the day, no? So I used to walk into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, most, I would try to profile places that I thought would need IT work. So I wouldn't necessarily walk into...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A grocery store. I don't know. That's just an example. Yeah, sure. No chain. Cause it's, yeah, especially no chain. What I would try to look for was small, mom and pop, probably this is the only location that exists, uh, medical or legal practices. Because, just off the top of my head with both of those,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then get my foot in the door and be like, alright, now that your data's encrypted, so you're not breaking a bunch of laws, cause you probably were, cause most of them were, by the way, just so you know, um, uh, I can do more things for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they lost all their records and they just immediately went bankrupt because they're a legal or medical thing or whatever and that like can't really happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're making enough money, this is the only, uh, storefront they wanna have, uh, but there's some tedium involved, and if you can help them skip that tedium, you might just make their life a bunch better, and if you can do that at a cost that is reasonable, they might run with it. Alright, Dan, hit us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really cool. I wanna show this really quick before we keep going. I don't know if we showed this earlier, but apparently Stormgate, over 2 million was raised? I know you said they beat their target, but like 2 million versus 100 grand is crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No games have co-op these days. And it's awesome. And so does BG3. All these games that I love. If you have co-op in your game, and it's at least decently fun, I'm pretty much gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I do hope the plugin hybrid model sort of takes over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're like, recognizing, I will at some point in time look back at this and think of this as good old days for whatever this activity type of thing is. I think it's actually good to recognize that and like, bask in the warmth of that to a certain degree. Uhm, because if you don't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's easy to fall into negativity even though you are in a very good time because you're only thinking about the, the, the bad things and allowing yourself to just like actually be like, no, you know what? In a lot of ways this is really great. Uhm, and I'm going to be very happy thinking about this in the future is a good thing. There's too much negativity in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried a screenshot float plane every once in a while. I tried to, I have a bunch of historical screenshots of the forum, different things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I actually genuinely think it's very important. I don't think I've done that enough in my life, but it's something I've tried to make an effort to do more so over the last, I'd probably say like three or four years. And there's been a few times where I've even like said it out loud to other people and they're like, what do you mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, I don't know, I feel like we're kind of at a peak with this thing. Not that that's a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think we should like appreciate that and enjoy it while we have whatever this is. And that might be a friend group that like, if you have a friend group in high school, even if you stay friends with them after high school,
