[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think, is it in here? I think it was genuinely January, right? Uhm. It's not in our notes, I'm not sure. No, it's Insta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I guess that's fair enough. So, couple things here. Yes, development did start in January. Two, it was called Project 92 internally, and I just googled, uh, Project 92 rumors, and there's stuff from like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's like, there was some people that were like, mmm, something's happening. But uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate that stuff. Our thing on the forum was always like, this is a tech site, just stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, and that's honestly it too, like with threads. That's not government censorship. That's, that's, that's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Threads is like, you don't get to talk about politics ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I will sign, maybe I'll take another crack at this. I would legitimately be more interested. But yea, like if they decide to say that, that it's a private platform, this is not a government funded thing, this is not public property, like they could do that. The forum is exactly like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're like, yeah, we don't want you talking about a bunch of stuff. Why? Because we don't want to deal with it. This is not the right place and this is absolutely not the right time. Go somewhere else. Like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is why neither of us do this. This is why. This two nuance is weird. I'd rather just do other stuff. I hate content moderation, it's such a nightmare. Like, no interest at all. When we started doing this like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 24 hour livestream thing. Uhm, we were just responsible for like the tech side of it, so I wasn't really thinking about much else. Once it went live, I was like, oh. Oh, there's gonna be a chat. Oh no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, hopefully auto-moderator tools are able to do a pretty good job with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rebell against him by saying nice things to people. Uhm, but yeah, no, I- without the live chat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not allowed to say? I don't. At all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, okay. So that's where I'm at right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where do you find the 24 hour livestream? If you go to the LinusTex-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tech tips channel on YouTube and then you click on the live button in the top banner thingy. You will see two live streams. You'll see what you're watching right now if you're on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well I mean, you're going, so, yeaah. You'll see the WAN show, that says what happened, a big bold text at the bottom, you can see these two guys there, uh, and then to the right of it you'll see another livestream that just says LTTTV is the thumbnail, uhm, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LTTTV 24-7 Tech Tips with a thousand people watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I didn't find anything saying that either. I just thought it was really weird that when I googled it I couldn't find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's no like, uh, you know, like Google knowledge-based documentation for it or anything. All the documentation is literally that, that you're looking at right now. That's the PDF, right? I can only sort of see your phone. Then yea, that's everything I can find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had proposed an idea. Oh, okay. Where we were gonna have those ads go between the videos, but it was brought up by, by James that like the Float Plane audience is used to the ads being removed, so sometimes you'll do your like, we're gonna segue to our sponsor thing, and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The video will just keep playing and there's no ad. The Flowplain audience is used to that because they're like paying for the bed and that's normal and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Average viewers might think that's a little weird and a little jarring. So he wanted the ads to be slotted in there. So each video on there is actually edited with the ads slotted in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, which is why we recommended just putting it in between, but if the viewing experience is better or whatever, that's James.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can sort the- it's closed so we can't change it. Right. Uhm, and you can sort them, but some of the sorting is really weird. Like you particularly hated this one if you sort by most helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you will see a box, oh, is it even gonna be there right now? It is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conrad actually reworked this for a completely different reason. Oh. And it's... Oh no, it wouldn't have done it anyways. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was based on Twitch being live, not YouTube. Oh, interesting. So it wouldn't have done it in the past, but Conrad has re-worked how it works anyways, so regardless, it's good. It will, it's not automatic anymore. You like, tell merch messages to be live or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do believe the Chief Vision Officer would have accepted the name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's pretty good. Uhm... Merch message is, they're in the cart, so when you buy stuff, they're there. Sounds good. Alright, cool. Oh, are you gonna stream Lime Day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do a stream for Prime Day, don't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I legitimately don't shop on Amazon, so I don't- Is it like the steam sale?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where like the first few were sick and now all of them, they're just all the same as they were before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if it's a good idea to talk to the people that do shipping and be like, yeah, there's likely a lot of same customer multiple orders over the next couple days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I choked on my own laugh there, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in, in other news. Yep. The goat story, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if we were to do merch messages, it should say explain merch messages plus do three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's also not like zoned for office space and stuff, right? Yeah, exactly. It wouldn't really work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you can't move. You can't convince everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if, if, if you tried to move the entire company to somewhere a little bit, you know, further away from Vancouver, it's gonna be really hard because every single person in the company's gonna have to figure out housing at the same time. What if you just provided that solution for them at the same time? Guaranteed renters? Internet would be sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the best part of the joke is how realistic it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, this is Jayden from Flippin Chat. We live in Vancouver. Obviously we would. See? See? Hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if it's a security project, so you want the transparency. Yeaah, absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is another... consistent thing. There's positives and negatives and there's personality types in all communities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love a very large amount of the open source community, but that's another problem. Or if you don't like it, it's just like, oh, you are now automatically evil. It's like, well, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, someone in chat said... Yea, I can't find it. It's not FSR though. The town would obviously be called LMG, also known as Linus Municipal Government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Omnipotent god power at Linus Municipal Government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goat, a YouTuber, uh, yep. Uh, okay, cool. The opening line is exactly what I just said. That makes a lot of sense. Good job. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is being sued for a more recent video about Tarrasynth, a game developer that Goat Claims has used shady behaviour to promote its realistic flight and war simulator. Track well scan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a quick summary of the video. Uh, Terasynth's teaser trailer released on D-Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to a source who left the project, the gameplay footage is actually just static models of planes on tracks that just go around these invisible tracks. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not great. This is honestly the part that kinda bothered me a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the teaser likewise uses footage taken without permission of actual soldiers in Afghanistan, many of whom died two days after the recording was taken. And that was used in the trailer. Most of assets used in terrorists, allegedly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the assets used in Terasins game roadmap and trailers were stolen or purchased assets that the company tried to pass off as their own, including, if I remember correctly, uh, a picture of a radar screen just taken from like Creative Commons off like Wikipedia or something. They were like, this will be asset for game. Uh, but again, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, CEO Ali Mahvan, I hope I'm saying that right, has no prior experience with game development and is, allegedly, CEO Ali Mahvan has no prior experience with game development and is alleged to have exaggerated significant portions of his resume and to have seriously misrepresented the game to potential early adopters, whom he was asking for money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, allegedly, Terasynth has continued to release trailers, including for a supposed AI traffic controller. Mavan has, allegedly, likewise claims to be bidding for contracts from the US military, for what I do not know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, allegedly much of this evidence is publicly available, but Goat likewise interviewed insiders to the project. Mavon is now suing Goat and his insider, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it defines this afterwards. Which punish frivolous lawsuits intended to silence speech that filter, uh, that the, uh, filer, sorry, disagrees with. Goat denies having any NDA with Terasynth at this time. Uh, allegedly. Oh no, this one's actually, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm still gonna say allegedly. Allegedly, Mavon appears to have sent at least three DMCA requests to a Reddit user who posted screenshots of Tarristan's Discord in an apparent attempt to get the user's name and personal information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mavan has likewise attempted to do a copyright takedown of Goat's video, which YouTube just categorically denied. Uhm, they didn't even involve Goat, they were just like, nope, that is not legit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, that's going down. Maybe throw Goat some support, check out the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and we'll have to see how this goes moving forward. This is far from the first time we've seen a, a YouTuber doing some form of investigative journalism get attacked, uh, and sued by the company that they were doing the investigative journalism on. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, SLAP stands for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. So it's using lawsuits to crush people from, uh, dissenting. Uhm, but, yeah. It's currently at 205,000 views. I watched it. It was quite interesting, pretty much the whole way through. And I suggest you check it out and throw a ghost in love. That's about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You shouldn't defraud. Yeah. That's my contribution here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like this. I think, I think, uh, on legal levels that's still a no, but then you just sit in that like, are you okay with it range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Lost you on top of that. Nice. Maybe that'll be legal in- in Linus Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We call it Jiffy Cat, just to like, butcher it as much as possible. Uhm, Snap, parent, I wonder, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what the official, like, pronunciation of Jiffy Cat is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jiffy Cat sounds very like 1940s. Cat in a hurry, I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uhm, Snap, the parent company of both Jiffy Cat and Snapchat, has no apparent plan to archive any of the material, leaving it to users to download whatever content they wish to preserve. Oh, wow. Yeah. Uh, Jiffy Cat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] JiffyCat, JiffyCat, I forgot how I was saying it, uh, was among the first web services to allow video encoding to GIFs, GIFs, whatever. Uh, and it is one of the few free services, I wonder why, that supports high definition short clips and animation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discussion question, what madness convinces a company to offer high quality video encoding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. When you Google Snapchat monthly active users, uh, at least my autofill only autofills for 2022 and 2021. I'm searching for monthly active users in this current year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. Well, yes. Like, it's not actually ephemeral, like, what's the point? I've never, never understood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's fair. Because I have literally talked, I actually think it's almost a negative, if anything, because it gives you this false confidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if you're not very technical, it gives you this false confidence that it's gonna go away, especially when they add that feature that's like, oh, they took a screenshot, cause that's the only way to capture a screen, right? So now you're like, I will know if they did it. It's like, well, that's not true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's just not true. Yeah. False sense of security. It's a stupid feature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. I don't know, I, I just, I am very much not a fan. I've always thought it was dumb. Uhm. Yeah, that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, fine. See you later, Jiffy Cat. Bye. That does actually suck. I actually did like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're definitely not worried about like, billions of dollars worth of IP being able to be accessed by anyone that does this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they can't surveil you? Someone in China said, so a warrant. So it's a warrant. I don't think that's the same. Cause you have to be served with a warrant, don't you? No? I have no idea. Never been warrant searched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smart cars have always been a little weird for that. I don't know, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something to be said about having a car that is just a car. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, just in case someone didn't get it, that was a joke. We are joking about something that was previously brought up on WAN Show, which was talking about Linus Town. None of that was serious. Just before we get some message from someone who super did not get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are implementing, uh, stuff that will show, like, like remote management tools. And you, like, shouldn't do personal stuff on your work computer, and things like that. Uhm, so there's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's mostly management, so like we can make sure that people are getting certain updates to browsers, updates to Windows, things like that, if a security breach is detected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we can remote air gap- I hate this term so much. But we can remote- I've ranted to him before, that's why he laughed. We can remote air gap computers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is not air gapping them, literally at all. I hate that term, but whatever. Uhm, we can also request remote into people's computers using this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there will be a certain tier where we can remote in without requesting, but if I remember correctly, the goal for that is computers that are not individuals machines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it's like, oh, this is like the stream deck PC, or the, sorry, the stream cart PC or something like that type of stuff. If it's an individual's workstation, it won't be a, uh, non-request, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's, there's a bunch of, we went through it with Yvonne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it's probably better than... If you can remotely enable it, it's just irrelevant in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, can confirm. So, yeah, okay, but sorry, how does it do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that, that just sounded like fake air gapping again. I didn't read it, I haven't looked at it, I don't know. I'll forward it to you. Okay. We'll figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think things should be called air gap if there is no gap of air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And anytime there's a back door, that means there is a possible door for someone else to find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, like there's a, there's an old picture of Zuckerberg sitting at his laptop and his camera's taped over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'd think, like, this, this person should have substantial security, right? So it shouldn't be a problem. So why does he care? Maybe because it, like, is a problem anyways. You are never fully secured out, right? And like, the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These things have cameras on both ends of them. I never use the selfie cam. Literally ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if the selfie cam on this phone has actually like ever been used. I just flip it around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And take the picture that way. So like, cause it's a better camera. No scope! Yeah, like whatever. I don't know. I don't care. I'm not taking pictures of myself that often. So like, I've thought about just covering it up before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I'm like, well, there's still the camera on the other side and microphones and everything else and all the other cameras and all the other every things. It's like, I don't know. Never a video call. Not off my phone. No, no, never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guarantee you there's more, uh, pictures of like food in my phone than pictures of myself. Oh man. Yeah, sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, why don't we play Categorize the Picture. Oh god. We can't look at the pictures on my phone though, but I'll tell you what they are. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, me and Yvonne in the badminton building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a picture that I needed to figure out some networking stuff at my, my partner's parents place. Yvonne in bed, but it's safe for work. Uh, a bottle of mayonnaise that I wanted to see if my parents were cool with, cause I needed to bring mayonnaise over to their place. And it was like weird, cause it was Japanese or something. Picture of a kid at a dance recital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my notes, cause I take paper notes when I'm working out, cause I'm weird and old, but I wanted to send a picture of it to someone, so my notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. This was with the other camera though, but my mustache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there is actually a selfie, but I only took the selfie because I thought it was, I looked stupid, not because I was trying to look good. And you didn't even bother to wipe your lens, that looked-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is my most commonly used messaging app, is trash. It doesn't show you the whole camera. So when you take the picture, there's extra stuff that it sends, when you send the picture, that you weren't able to see when you were taking the picture. Which is like, the worst thing ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I mean, I told you, it's been a long time, it might be different now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a potentially negative way, you've, you've kind of used that against yourself before. You're like, ah, I'm not feeling energized. Let's like, get myself in some more debt. I've seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're kind of like competing on which one of us is going to expire first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. I think there's also a way that you can approach the topic. Uhm, like I feel like there could be a tech-linked approach to a certain topic that goes into both categories and a game-linked approach to that topic. Like the gamer's view on it versus the techie's view on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's less of an issue with linked because it'll be part of a video that has like 10-15 other things in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't think it's gonna be that big of a problem. I think the writers over at Linked will take care of it. I think it'll be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and a lot of those issues are, oof, not to be that guy, but a lot of those issues are because of the community's behaviour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if people didn't buy excessively microtransactions to insane amounts, giving companies millions and millions and millions and millions of more dollars than they would have otherwise gotten, they would not make games entirely based around microtransactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it works because the community embraces it. And people are gonna be like, oh, I don't embrace it. It's like, yeah, good. But other people do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They buy all the red things. Or like, they really like large, uh, gratuitous swords that are shaped in a particular way and look really aggressive. They buy just all of them. So it's like, okay, we'll just make another one of those. Guaranteed sale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my, something that's been kind of worrying me, uhm, is the loss of, I know I always find ways to tie it back, but whatever, is the loss of Bethesda-style games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there are very few other companies that have really tried to make the really, actually same type of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's games that get kind of similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's kind of a Bethesda ID, this, this game where it's completely open, you can just never do the main quest ever if you don't want. It's, it's more about constructing this interesting universe, you can do whatever you want in it. I think their biggest departure from this was Fallout 4, that has me a little bit concerned about Starfield, but I'm sure it'll still be a good game, whatever, it doesn't matter. Uhm, but yeah, I'm a little worried about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have pictures of birds. Uh, people were asking for pictures of birds. Here are my birds. There's one of my birds. His name is Wally. Cute boy. Here is other bird. His name is Scoopy. Or just Scoop. Also cute boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is specifically why I chose that timing. I have been waiting to, uh, waiting to do it, but I did want to do it right then because of that. Uhm, but yeaah, those are, those are my birds, Goop and Wally. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, should we talk about how emojis can be legally binding? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are you people? I would have liked it more if you chose to send the phone call to it. Then I don't care if it's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuuh. Emojis. Yeaah. Emojis can be legally binding. A Canadian court has ruled that an emoji can be considered a binding signature to a legal contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In March of 2021, Kent Mickleboro, a Canadian grain buyer, sent out a text mess- uh, sent out text messages to several farmers in the vicinity talking about how he was looking to buy 86 tons of flax at a price of $17 Canadian per bushel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris, Chris Actor, a Canadian farmer responded to the text and both got into correspondence on the phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mikkelborl then consi- uh, proceeded to send a picture of the contract to actor, asking him to confirm the contract. Actor responded with a thumbs up emoji, but did not otherwise follow up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, according to the courts- That's not a terrible argument. I, I think that's actually a pretty good argument. Now according to the courts filing, he will be required- Really? Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the court's ruling, he will be required to pay 82,000 Canadian dollars, so about four bucks American, plus interest for failing to deliver the flax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if he put the emoji in the signature section of the contract, like, maybe? But that's not what happened in the slightest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's really stupid. Because the way that actor, I hope I'm saying that name right, I'm pretty sure about Mickelboro, but actor I'm not certain, uhm, the way that they, they, they said that they did this, or they said they confirmed they received the contract, that's a very normal way to do things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See a message, give it a thumbs up as like, I-I-I've seen this. Whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depends on the wording a bit. A bit. Uhm, it also depends on precedent. Like, if they have done a- if a contract has been sent in the past, and he thumbs it up, and then they followed through and that contract was fulfilled, then I would be like, absolutely, yes, it completely is that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have absolutely thumbs things up as like, I have received this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm assuming it's, um, tied up in court or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you- Well, we- we have- we have issues here where like someone will digitally sign something in like a font that doesn't really look like a signature and will be like, ah, it should probably look more like it was properly signed. And then this dude- this dude send it emojis? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The back, the back isn't signed? I pretty much guarantee mine isn't right now. Like, don't, don't pull it out on the stream. I wasn't gonna. Oh, okay. I was gonna do it on the table, but it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I know people that have had that before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to be a stickler. When I first, when I had my first retail job ever, I would check ID for every single credit card. Because that's, I was told to do that, so I was like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just did it. I checked ID every single time and I would legitimately like actually try to pair it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I've ever been ID'd for using my credit card. For any value amount. Yea, but it's pins now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's stupid. I, well, pins are not very secure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the Taplibins I'm seeing. I don't know how Conrad has one for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, uh, 400 bucks. Someone else in chat says they have one for 600 though, so this is apparently a thing. Mine's 200. I googled it, they're all saying 250. But there's multiple people in chat saying that they have one for more than that. So what, you can, this person tapped, uh, I tapped to pay with my phone at a micro center for 600 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like how many times are you gonna process a transaction for more than your tap limit? I like never have it happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhhhh. Apparently there's no tap limit in the US.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There can't be no tap limit. Someone in the chat said I tapped without ID for a $1200 chair. That's stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've tapped a different person. I've tapped $1,200 in a foreign country. A different person I tapped to pay $1,700 at a micro center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Elon tapped for other reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I regularly charge people $3,500 and they can tap no problem. I tapped to pay like $2,500 for my PC build components last year. Oh, it was on my iPhone. That's a little different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're signing into your phone, that is definitely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WhiskeyNerd88 in flowplain chat said, I work for Capital One Bank and yes, you can tap for up to $5,000 for your card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's stupid. You can tap for what my gut is gonna tell me has gotta be more than most people's credit limits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a clue, but I can't imagine it's more than 5,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, stop, stop thinking you're dumb. There's all these people who mean like, I'm a moron. Stop. Like, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I often do that before trips on purpose, just in case, like, massive emergency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should publish the algorithm. Yeaah. That would be good for us, wouldn't it? Uhm. Okay, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I talked about this in game length. Go, go check it out. Yeah. Uhm. Yeah. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna butcher all the names, so I'm not gonna say them. But, uh, the top five are essentially two and a half million, two million, one and a half million, just over one million, and just under one million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Respect a lot in another ways I think is rife for potential abuse. But honestly, from what I've heard over a bunch of years of not paying very much attention, it usually goes pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't know. I don't know. It's scary. If that happened here, I do not think it would go well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, sorry. That, that, no, that happens in North America, that's a thing. Really? Oh, absolutely, yeah. That's a thing on both sides, too. You can hire an outside person to fire someone for you, and you can hire an outside person to quit for you. Really? Both of those things are a thing, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I meant the like, absolutely immense amount of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the like social expectation from the country that you are loyal to your company. Hopefully I'm describing this properly, I do not mean to offend. But, yeah, I think, I think that would be abused if it was here, and it, as far as my understanding goes, it doesn't really get abused there, which is, which is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you actually expecting an actual answer? Yeah. Oh, man. Honestly, probably the second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Romance books. I, I knew it. I, yeah. I was gonna ask you if it was specifically, I'm immensely curious. I can tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yvonne got close. I can, I can try. I think I'll only have one game in me, cause my, my back is very tired. Uhm, and that machine is short. I discovered that people actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, very possibly. Cause if you're like, if you're just like relaxed and playing, it should be fine. No, I'd have to squat to do that. Like I can't, I can't use the controls properly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so. I think you probably- Or, or I'd be cranking my neck like crazy, which is just gonna create a new problem. Like there's no- yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fun. It's a ludicrous game. Really fun. I love it. It's very, it's a lot deeper than I would have expected. Like, a lot more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assume the sumo stance? Yea, but for how long? Like, these aren't even that short of games? It's like three minutes. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's time it, I don't think so. Okay, let's make it time. Have you done that before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus is pissed at the minimum viable product and people are surprised. That's, well that's not, it's, it's like incorrect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he's saying- I don't really understand. It's fine. It's okay. Whatever. Pool wrong. Moving on. Next minu-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unstable position if someone was to become in contact with you at that point in time, if that makes sense. It's not necessarily super unstable, but if an outside force like pushed you, you'd fall over. Uhm, so things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brain is like telling me, no, no, no, no, no, don't do this. But then everyone watching me is like, okay, the way you're moving sucks and is dumb and you need to do this other way. Uhm, also like, hitting the birdies. My brain wants to like club them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're supposed to do this like, wrist turn thing more, and stuff like that. Like a lot of it just doesn't really- a lot of sports come fairly naturally to me, and badminton does not come very naturally to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the LTX LAN computers are brought by people, right? We're not providing any.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't want to say this incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure it's because the DIY editions come, the lowest tier comes without stuff, right? Yea. No memory, no...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To dedicate to that. We get questions about this every week. I promise you, when they happen, we will let you know on Wanshow and I will be wearing one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fairly accurately, it was about $22, if I remember correctly. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah, to generate all- Uh, that might have actually been something else. I don't remember. It wasn't very much. It was extremely low. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I remember correctly, there's a free amount that they give you. I think it's like 20 bucks allowance before it starts costing you money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the 22 was for something else. I'm pretty sure we didn't even breach the free allowance. I think it cost us like nothing, but I don't, I don't really remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a massive amount of people that would agree with that, and then given the actual, real opportunity in front of them, actually in real life, would go the other way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. There is a very disappointingly large percentage of people that will verbally stand behind ideas, and then the second, even a single dollar comes into question, they will immediately crumple those ideas. Like, just, yeaah. Anyways, we should probably move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. They can't create a shirt that isn't Pantone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what's this? The shirt isn't one of the full paint colors either. Yeah. Yeah, no, because there isn't one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, that was, that was good. That's, uh, Dev and the Dev in full point chat. Sorry, go for it. No, that's great. Hey, DLL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My best, my best friend when I was growing up was named Devin and he is currently a dev. Nice. And I used to call him Dev growing up, so. Nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be pretty cool. I did want to get a, uh, one of those little smart bird feeder things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I have wizened in my years and it was a Kickstarter, so instead of backing it, I just favorited the page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's been like, four years. And as far as I can tell, it does not exist. So, dodged that one. Uhm, but yeah, I wanted like, a bird feeder that would take a picture of the bird when it came to get some seed, and would try to ID what type of bird it was, cause I thought that would just be interesting to see what's in the area. Uh, what I have found is I just kind of like, try to make friends with random birds that I find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when I was in Taiwan, I was stuck at like a transit station for a while. And there was some bird there, and I just like talked to it. Cause they like noise, right? So, I don't know. Like if I'm coming into work, and I park, and I'm like, walking up to the building and there's some bird there, I'll just like, friendly yell at it, cause they like loud noises, so I'll be like, HI BIRD!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just walk by? I dunno. I notice them more, but no, I'm not gonna go out intentionally birdwatching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, you emailed that. I emailed asking if you were gonna do it again. And you said yes. Mine's never left my computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have notes? Yeah. Cause last I heard you didn't have notes and you told me you were going to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did Jake write his notes? Because this is the same problem we had in the past. I installed it, I wrote all my notes, I did everything, you guys said you were going to and didn't do Jack, so we're in another situation where you're saying that you're going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So now it's just on me to do the testing again. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I already did it, but because you didn't do it the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, people in chat are saying like, just say you worked for Tesla and Google. Like yeah, like you don't, you don't expect people to show you the code that they worked on at Google when you're hiring a developer. Well no, it wouldn't be development. Yeah, but like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there is a massive community of homebrew enthusiasts. Uhm, there's also a ton of open source stuff in that space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really depends where you're starting. There's a lot of information here that might be lagging. I, honestly, would go to the forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is like, you're answering that. Some people in chat are saying bye on eBay. They're asking where to learn. Yeaah, that's a tough one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're trying to answer the like, easy answers. Yeah, someone's saying r slash homelab, so yeah, there's reddit. I honestly would genuinely suggest lttforum, there are some extreme storage nerds on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Level 1 forum? Yep. So not just the videos, but also the forums, definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care about the age at all. The only thing that annoys me is just how constantly broken slash tired I feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't even slightly care. I don't care about the age lines. I don't care about the gray bits that are showing up in my beard. I don't care about when my head hair will go gray. I don't care about getting wrinkles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, to be honest, I could go without it. My dad's not had it the entire time I think I've been alive. I was expecting it to happen, and then I figured out that you get it from your mom's side, not your dad's side, and I was like, oh, I guess I'm good then. Uhm, yeah, I'm not worried about any of that stuff. I just don't like that, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I go do a physical activity, I'm like sore for a really long time. It's like, well that, that sucks. Uhm, and like if I get sick, it feels like the recovery window is much longer. If I get injured, the recovery window seems a lot, it's getting to the point already where I feel like injuries are like semi-permanent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I get injured in a certain way, it's like oooookay. This could be it. Like I hurt my thumb, like months ago. Yep. My thumb is still in pain. As far as I can tell, my thumb is gonna be in pain for the rest of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like, alright, like I'm going to physio for it, I'm working on stuff, it's function is improving, but the grip in my left hand is still significantly worse than my right because of this weird thing that's going on in my thumb, and it's just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know how it happened, like there's just, uh, yeaah. Things are just kinda, you know, falling apart. The, the, uh, the current status of the ship is, uh, it is not improving over time anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, probably not. Uh, we have thought about potentially having it email, um, the question asker the response. Uh, that might be something that we implement later, but not right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll talk about- And you got rekt! The Pixel Fold, uh, was officially announced after, you know, just like every other Pixel device. It was leaked to every- Wow. It's a folding phone. That's a man that wants to replace his phone. Also, OBS adds AV1 for YouTube livestreams, which is actually huge. We'll talk about that. Actually huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can literally barely use Discord. It's actually very weird. Cause you're usually very good and nimble in different user interfaces, then you hit Discord and it's just like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually a huge problem. And you can individually change your nickname on every server and every chat anyways, so just knowing someone's name isn't gonna matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't, wasn't, you were definitely on Twitter in 2012.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Cause our first, our first, uh, back and forth direct message interaction is hilarious. Oh. I don't remember this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you do with Discord if you owned Discord?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly find it a lot more generally usable than something like Slack or Teams, but it lacks some specific, like, team-based, uh, features. So like, yea, if they had more of a, a bit of a feature rollout for,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mostly managing users. Sure. In a corporate sense. But other than that, like the channel creation, I prefer Discord's channel creation, uhm, and category creation compared to Teams or Slack. Oh yea, Teams. By a lot. Yup. Like, okay, so you're upset about Teams. On Slack, I can't create categories for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? I can, I can make private channels so they don't see them, and then I can invite specific teams or specific people to the private channels, but other than that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you wanna go, okay, uu and u, uu and u. Then no matter what, it's just a category called channels and it's all the dump of all the channels that you're in. And then you as the individual user need to create categories and sort them like that. Maybe someone has found a way around this. The last time, uhm, the last time that I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to figure this out, the official answer online was like, yeah, it's up to the individual user, it's great, everyone can organize it the way they want. I'm like, no. No one has ever asked for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy crap. How did this possibly happen? Uhm, it's, it's kind of, it's kind of wild. And we love our team. World class. I feel- World class. I feel, and I could be completely wrong, and maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, I feel like it's a PM that's just trying to make a splash. Really? The Discord thing? What's the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does anyone really complain about the numbers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found it confusing at first. And they did say, the argument that I saw, I don't know if it was technically from them or not, so I shouldn't say they did say. Uhm, but the argument that I saw was that they are trying to fall in line with the average setup that other platforms do. Which seems mostly true. That is mostly what other platforms do, right? I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like an at username. Okay, to be completely honest, I didn't even realize they were adding the at at the front. Yeah. That is weird. Uh, I meant like the, the number system after the name. Why? Yeah, that's odd. Seems completely unnecessary. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, displaying that all the time is just gonna look so stupid. It looks stupid on Twitter!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Wow, I'm so much more against this now. I knew you were talking about the ad earlier, but I thought you were just like off topic. No! Wow, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna talk us through this one? Yeah, so OBS Studios 29.1 update supports streaming to YouTube using the AV1 encoder. Streaming with AV1 results in boosted image quality and bitrate that can be reduced by up to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and bitrate that can be reduced by up to 40% without sacrificing image quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no real other part of the card necessarily did, but the AV1 coding 100% did. 100%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They totally delivered there. Another sign in favor of AV1 approaching mass adoption is that Matrox Video, whose graphics cards are widely used for workstations, video walls, and digital signage, has released a new series of Luma graphics cards powered by Intel's Alchemist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just talking about this architecture, which includes Intel's excellent AV1 transcoding ability. Makes sense. Twitch does not currently support AV1, uhm, but I- I bet on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know all the intricate details of the differences between them, but I know it's not like, identical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I was, when I was hanging out down at NASA, which is one of the coolest things to say ever, I was talking to one of their tech people about, uh, video compression, encoding, transferring data, all the different complications they have around that, going around the dark side of the moon, going to Mars, the data complications of those different situations, and I asked, what about AV1?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They currently use H264, and they would love to use AV1, but they're concerned about licensing issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, interesting. Even, even at that level. Concerned about licensing issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of sucks. It would help them a lot, because the amount of stuff that they have to send back and forth and the fixed pipe that they have is a very difficult equation for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll support it eventually, it's not in the cards right now. We have some pretty monster, uh, bandwidth caps on our livestreaming last time I checked. Uhm, so, yeah, I don't know. We're not working on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know exactly what's wrong and we'll have it fixed very soon. Can we show some cool stuff though? I mean if it works, yeah! So there's sub channels, so if you expand the sidebar, you can collapse the sidebar, that's one thing, but there's sub channels now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you click the little arrow down in the bottom left hand corner, which the users can't see because they're hidden behind us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you gotta widen the screen, there we go. So you can see all the different sub-channels with their different names and stuff. If you click on there, you get to see Linus' meme face, and this is all the Float Plane exclusives. A bunch of people asked for this, so we have now added it. You can see the red bar at the bottom of the screen. We tried to go with like a Float Plane light blue, but it just didn't work. You can like never see it. It has to be a red bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, like I said, we know, we know what's wrong. Uhm, so what, what, what set it off was us going live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a, there's also the include email notifications. That's going to change. We're going to turn email into more of like a digest system where you get an email. This can be user selectable. You can email either once a day or once a week, uh, with like all of the notifications that would have happened within that time window. The reason why we want to switch to that is just because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some people might be getting a lot of notifications and getting a ton of email is actually like, super annoying. Oh, 100%. Yeah, we're doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, so if you don't like, if you're like, no, I like Mac address and tech news, I don't want anything else, you can turn off everything else, just leave those on, do whatever you want, no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, how does this work? I can change my subscription tier now, right? So if you click on the channel again, I believe you can do it from here, but you have granted subscriptions, so it's not gonna show. But if you, if you click on the channel again, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you can click subscribe on the tiers that you don't have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making up for lost time. Yeah, a little bit. So, I mean, yeah, maybe we, we- Flew a little close to the sun. Broke a little thing in there. Uhm, we didn't test live streaming, I guess, which was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bit of a, a bit of a miss. Uhm, but it's, it is okay, they are on it, it's gonna be fixed soon. And honestly, the beta site feels amazing right now, if you wanna use it, go to the main one, cause the beta site's broken. But the beta fight site feels so good, that- Beta fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beta site feels great. Uh, one of our small issues that we had, that we kind of resolved last night, jumped in a call with Dankpods, because he uses Safari for everything. And as far as I can tell, he is the only user on the platform that uses Safari. So he's very useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he also didn't livestream, so it was. Uhm. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, we're, we have, we're gonna spend like the next week or so, uh, kinda bug testing these types of things and fixing stuff, and then probably, hopefully be ready to send it after that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CyberStats. I was gonna say t-shirt because I always love the t-shirts, but cyber stats sounds super cool, so let's check that out. Alright, let's save the most exciting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I, I, this honestly for a while I've been expecting it from Delalienware. Uhm, but I think they might be kind of late. But it'll probably be like, solid, but late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I guess what I'm trying to say is, we're talking about timeline, like how did it happen this late, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ally, the ally is maybe a little bit surprising to me. The Steam Deck is not, because as we've talked about before, it's heavily subsidized by Steam game sales. So you can kind of make it in an expensive way, and then not very, it's like how they used to lose money selling consoles. Apparently they still are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, whatever. Uhm, but yeaah, I, that, I don't know. I, I'm surprised at the, I feel like I'm almost the opposite. I'm not surprised that the other ones are so late, I'm surprised the ally is so early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Oh, cause I didn't expect another competitor to steam deck that is as good as the ally seems to be this fast. That was very surprising to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that it's possible, I'm just surprised that they actually reacted that quickly, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time already! Yeah, yeah, and they're doing, they're doing different manufacturing. Cause they're not, yeah, yeah, that's fair enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good hominid in flowplain shot said, going with the names companion and supporter here is even funnier if you remember that it was almost called the steam pal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty good. What? I didn't know that actually. Oh my gosh. I'm, I'm still pretty surprised they went with Steam Deck. With Stream Deck already existing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They like immediately won. It's just kind of, it's surprising. Cause they're so close, like companies usually don't like touching that much, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'll often break it down into something that that purchasing manager might understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very cool. And like, you gotta understand it to a certain degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two guys I was talking to about that in particular were the people that design, uh, the mission control centers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So including the like dashboards and stuff that people use and like the, the like quick call control panel thing and like the, all that type of stuff. So it's like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data pipelines for receiving video and like the, the chart that shows where the ISS is going and all this other type of stuff. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, EA. EA blames gamers using high-end hardware for Star Wars performance issues. EA! Man, we used to dog around these guys all the time, and then I feel like they were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Blizzard, Bethesda, they're taking too much of the spotlight. We gotta do something really stupid. And now they're back! Welcome back, EA! Let's go, EA!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] EA's released a patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor, which has been plagued with performance issues, including wildly inconsistent FPS, massive VRAM usage, broken cutscenes, and frequent crashes. Before the patch, EA released an apology of sorts where it blamed the issue on PC players using Windows 10 on high-end hardware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The official statement. I'm gonna skip the first paragraph, go right into the second one. No, I'm not. I'm gonna read the whole thing from the start. We are aware that Star Wars Jedi Survivor isn't performing to our standards for- sure- for our percentage of peace- for a percentage. Great. That's very helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or high-end GPUs coupled with lower performing CPUs also saw unexpected frame lag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carry on. You're doing it wrong. Whatever way you're doing it, you're doing it wrong. Uh, they- they end it with, rest assured we are working to address these cases quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just saying this is where the problems are occurring and we are fixing it. Okay, but does it perform great on low-end hardware? I think it might perform more consistently. I think the problem right now is that you're getting crazy spikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you can't say like medium is a high-end setting. That's fair. And medium is a pretty common thing for people to run stuff on. No, it's all settings. Yeah, people are saying it's all settings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And apparently there's a, there's a new patch which is already helping it. I think people are just mad because of the wording of this. Which, it's not worded great. The, uh, isn't performing to our standards for a percentage of PC players is not a fantastic way to say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way they care that much, or else they'd be able to get some amount of raps on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean- It feels like Pixel has the most, like you were just talking about this video hands on, Pixel has the most, like, brutal


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Google has announced the upcoming Pixel Fold. Nearly all the details of the phone had already leaked weeks ago, so very little of the announcement was a surprise. According to leaked internal documents, the Fold is expected to have a 5.8 inch outer display that folds out into a 7.6 inch


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discussion question. How durable does a foldable phone need to be to make it worth it? Uh, it, it can't. Will the Pixel Fold be significantly better than the Samsung Foldable? So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this, this upcoming generation of phones is probably going to mark an upgrade for me considering all the problems I've been having with my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The extra screen space, like the app problems, what I do on my phone, I would probably run into less of the app problems that you run into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would probably run into more beneficial things. Being able to open that spreadsheet would be great. That type of stuff is gonna be more in line with what I'm doing. Uhm, but it's a $1700 phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is gonna show extreme wear after a year? And chat!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This feels like we're gonna run into the same problem. A really long time ago, you and I still like echoing this whole, I don't remember what brand it was, I'm sure you do, uh, but there was a case in power supply brand that made a case that didn't really fit its own power supply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if you're gonna release a folding phone, your stuff should probably freakin' work for it. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, by the way, for, for people interested, uh, the floatplane betasite's fixed already. Okay. Always be fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, because it is very expensive, but you have been in the folding ecosystem for a long time now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So exiting would probably be a pretty significant pain point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's easier for me because I have not been using a folder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it just needs to have good battery life, screen brightness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there could, that's the other thing with the Fold, is if you, you said you don't play games on it, but if you work on it, and if you're able to extract a thousand dollars worth of value due to work,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like working on your house, but that's not necessarily fair because I feel like the example you were giving earlier was for something for yourself that was in your house. It's not content. Also that, but I feel like working on your house in general benefits like your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we just finished our second of two topics and we're moving on to the next thing. Dan's paying very close attention to the show, you can tell. Sponsors!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, little expansion to Force of Five, which is a Hot Wheels expansion, and it is super fun. Cause they just stopped caring about it being like a realistic racing game, and you're just going around like Hot Wheels loops and there's boost packs on the ground and like magnetic floor and all this crazy stuff. It's very fun. It's like actually very fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't know, I don't feel like I've wit- Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know mine. I don't mind a hundred percent. No question. Okay, go. Jensen just going off on stage at uhm. Tom Peterson. Yea. That was incredibly awkward. And, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's rough. Because like, the camera didn't show the whole thing, but you could see Tap, like when he went off stage and stuff, and like, he handled it very professionally. In my opinion, Jensen Super did not. But Tap did. But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, it was actually more awkward because their response to it was not matched. Right. Like if they both handled it super poorly, it would probably have been less awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clap it on someone on stage. It's just like, man, that was, that was rough. That was very rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna stop doing it. Packs used to be a lot more fun when they allowed that. They have hard banned it now. You're not allowed throwing anything, not even t-shirts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? That's stupid, not enough for our stuff at LTX. Yeah, heck yeah. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think either of those are currently trendy names. And down. You know? We want to stay bussin'. Yeah. I don't know if that's good or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google engineer warns public researchers are winning the AI race. A leaked document from a senior Google engineer, Luke Samow, hopefully I said that right, warns that- Sir, now I think, quite close. Sir?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] S-E-R-N-A-U, yes. That's an annoying typeface. Uh, warns that both Google and OpenAI may soon lose the AI race to open source development. Grassroots engineers have been making huge strides, in part due to the leak of Meta's Lama LLM, in part, in massive section, uh, just saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, worse, while they've been focused on each other, open source development has been quietly lapping them both, with many public researchers achieving more with a few hundred dollars and a few weeks, uh, than what large companies are struggling to do with millions over the course of months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because those open groups are playing catch up to be clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not lapping them is not a really fair way of saying it because they're, they're still catching up, but it's fine. It sounds cool. We're going to stick with it. Specifically cited was the issue with running AI models on phones. Open source models are faster, more customizable, more private and pound for pound more capable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] has advocated against regulation of grassroots development and smaller AI research firms in part to keep the EU competitive with the United States. Quoted, rules that require a researcher or developer to monitor or control downstream


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, downstream use could make it impossible to release open source AI in Europe, which would entrench large firms and hamper efforts to improve transparency, reduce competition, limit academic freedom, and drive investment in AI overseas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like many AI forums, Lion has been criticized for not respecting the rights of artists whose work is included in their open source database.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, cool. Uhm, yeaah, we've been talking about this on WAN Show for a while. But, it's interesting seeing someone in, within Google talk about the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to keep making predictions. You wanna know something funny? You know how, you've talked about this a bunch, and I think this is genuinely very true. One of the reasons why Linus Sectives has been punchy for so long is because you get bored very quickly. Yeah. I'm bored. You're bored? Already? I'm bored. But, but new stuff is happening. The problem- Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a lot of this stuff isn't actually really releasing? Especially not really in the way that people talk about its capabilities?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a lot of the stuff that OpenAI is doing, uh, it's alphas, and they're only giving it to some people. So like the plugins thing, we talked about this weeks ago. Do you have it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have it. Right. So if I don't get to play with it, why do I care?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, uh, co-pilot for Office?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not, I don't know if I should necessarily say bored, I'm feeling like it's unnecessary to keep up with the news right now, because we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, just like OpenAI had like the fastest adoption of a million users of anything like ever, I feel like there's, you know that curve, I don't remember the exact name of all the stages, but you have the massive hype at the beginning of a new technology, and then you have the massive drop of people realizing that it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't feel like we're actually at the bottom of that first drop yet, but I feel like we're over the hump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we're at the point where everybody's heard about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody has seen at least one really, really cool demo of it. Like, actually, is it? I don't know. It might be. Okay. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are not into tech stuff, has heard of it, cause it's been in mainstream news, all that type of stuff. You've given everybody the fear, you've given everybody the hype, you've given everybody all that kind of stuff. Now it's time to, uh, this is not exactly what I was describing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's pretty close. Yeah, I think it's explaining the same concept, it's just not the exact curve that I was talking about. But, yeah, it's time to deliver. It's time to ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need stuff. Apparently Q3. For, uh, for co-pilot. Cool. So I'm excited for Q3. Right. That's where I'm currently looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the Gartner hype cycle. The hype cycle. So the bottom left hand corner thing is technology trigger. So the thing kinda shows up. Peak of inflated expectations, trough of disillusionment, all this type of stuff. So I feel like we're kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just over the, the hump right now. And if you're saying, uhm, if you're saying that it's gonna be Q3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And hopefully we can avoid it too big of a deal. But yeah, exactly what you're just describing, I'm feeling that way about it. I don't think there's actually a lot to talk about. Even this literal topic, we have literally already talked about it. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like maybe we talk about something here there, like someone in chat said, look at the auto GPT repo graph. It's literally the graph you just showed. And it's like, yeah, like I- Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, there, eh, there is cool stuff happening, chat, er, the chat gbt code interpreter thing looks super sweet, but like, almost none of us can even try it, so, whatever. I don't know. I'm off the... I'm, I'm still paying attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But until we get more things shipped, products shipped, I think I'm kinda chillin' for now. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorta happen to know what's going on over there. Stuff like that is happening a lot right now. Which is fantastic. It's very cool. Uhm. But it's the same thing. Uhm, so it's, it's not like the most exciting talk about a WAN.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find with a lot of Microsoft hardware products, there's a bunch of really cool stuff and then there's some like glaring drawback problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft has some like serious wins in the hardware space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, soft's in the name, they've always felt like a software company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 11th gen processor, 32 gigs of ram and a 1 terabyte SSD for 6 grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, no that- It's not fair to just say like, yeah, we ship with a more up-to-date operating system. Yeah, that's not an update. What else is updated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it has been updated, because I did the video on the first one. Okay. So like, it's been a minute, dude. It's been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably like seven years. It must have received at least one update, but it is not currently up to date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are the first to release, and I can't believe the amount of coverage they got on this. I googled, firearm requires fingerprint to fire, and it's everywhere, all from just this one. How Biofire got this coverage is wild, when no, they are not first to market. I can't believe people would lie on the internet. It's wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd think the facial recognition thing, like sure, but where do you define smart?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what, yours is smart because it's fingerprint and facial recognition? The previous ones weren't smart because they were just fingerprint?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if someone requires like, something else? What if someone requires like a two of echo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Did that even change? The, the corner, the corner. Oh my god. It says after Darkundra. Okay. I'm sure glad I- Did you rip one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] March messages. I'm gonna start trying to- I've already been trying to respond to some of them through text. I'm gonna jump in and try to do more now. We'll fall into our formation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An interesting way to do it maybe is if you had your kids cook with the private chef. If it was like a cooking tutor. Okay, cooking tutor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel really bad for that, and my family thought it was intentional, but I just have really intense gamer bladder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would stand up for the first time after a very long time, and then actually just need to go to the washroom. And I used to get in arguments where I'd be like, just leave a bunch of it for me. Like, I'm not trying to avoid it. I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but... Definitely not. Yeah, that used to happen to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? How long, that's not, it's not, you feed it to the birds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if we technically know the full story there. Is Uber getting pinned with this? Is that what's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's super cool. I don't know if I talked to you about this. I should have said it in the article, but I probably forgot. It's actually really wild. They taught parrots to video call each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they found that over time, they made friends, and those friends would more frequently call each other. So it wasn't necessarily even just that the one would like, learn to press the one button more easily. Because the other one would also be like, oh, this one's my friend, so it would call that one back as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they would like, go get their toys and like, show their friend on the video call the toy. And they seem to understand that their friend is only in this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, there was clearly, they like, enjoyed it, and they're having fun, and they're being social, and all this kind of stuff. Very, very interesting. Yeah. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, I don't know. I mostly just wanted to explain the story of what they were basing that merch message off of because that's super interesting. And yea, if you can use tech to enhance the lives of your pets, why not? That sounds great. That's super cool. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. That's a good question. We can be pretty vicious about topics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes, we're getting older, it takes energy. Because I honestly just forget, like, there's certain terms that aren't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's moving really fast, and it's actually kinda hard to keep up with. I'm trying, but. Yeah. There was one time, not even that long ago, we went out to dinner after WAN, and ended up just continuing to talk about tech stuff the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to manually run my index all the time so it would populate faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, the fact that stuff like space sniffer isn't a first party tool at this point is just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Linus will do, to be, just, I have to be fair here. Linus will do both. Linus will give you tons of information and a perfect, this is exactly what I want, all, every question you can have answered here, go do it. And he'll also do, I want this thing, and then just walk away, and you have to figure it out. He'll do both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's a huge problem. I think to a certain degree, for efficiency's sake, you can't have like insanely detailed things every single time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not always fair. You don't always want questions to be asked because you're busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you complete, it was very cool to go over because the video bible is awesome, all that kind of stuff. I think you completely dodged the actual, maybe unintentionally, but the actual question that the person had though, because you're giving an example of where you did lay out what you want, and they're asking how do I deal with when they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer that I would give is try to look into the things that that person has liked or valued in the past and try to take the tenets that you can take from that and apply it to what you're currently working on and do the best job you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, one example that I would give is look at creator warehouse products. Sure. If you look at a huge range of creat- if someone's like, if you're like, hey I wanna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something like how good it should be, how effective it should be, what materials you should use, all that kind of stuff. Look into the other products in the store, and you can probably figure out a like quality level design language for making this thing. Yeah, but lighter heirloom piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were trying to make decisions on materials for the cat teaser thing, you could probably figure out the direction to go in by looking at the other products on the store. Like there's often things around that can guide decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it fair to talk about software features when he's asking about technology? Sure. Uh, microtransactions, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it ends up working for me that if I'm going to use speakers, I could probably just play on the TV anyways. So then it's like kind of a combination experience, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woah, sweaty these days. Like, woah! It feels like, man, like over half the players are playing as if this could become their full-time job. Like it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, it's, it's kind of weird. Like, I feel like the amount of people that play multiplayer games casually, when we were growing up, used to be the majority and is absolutely the minority these days. Like, it's, it's kind of wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hot takes they've always been sweaty? I don't agree. Like at all actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you, I've brought up this analogy a bunch in the past actually, and I think this directly counters that point. Back in the day, playing multiplayer RPG games, if you got a fancy piece of armor or weapon, but it was ugly, you wouldn't wear it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was a stat upgrade, but you're like, ah, it looks gross, people wouldn't put it on. And this, I'm not making this up. A lot of Zoomer boys don't believe me, but it's actually a thing. People would be like, yeah, that's an upgrade, but like, I'm wearing entirely, uh, green armor and that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Total random wardrobe person, just as long as these things give better stats. You can compete harder. Just, bah! It's a very, very different mentality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sure does. Uhm, if the question was, are we looking into it? I would say no. Do we use it? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I wouldn't be surprised if, like, managing employees is absolutely a thing that you need to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like onboarding and offboarding can be very complicated, especially without any form of automation or system to do so. We didn't have any HR people until very recently, uh, so maybe they'll approach me about getting something like this at some point in the future. I wouldn't be too surprised. I know they've been talking about certain, uh, implementations of, of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, different like online tools that they're already using. Uhm, so, I don't know. Maybe. We are growing. Things happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough. It's very, very tough to get those colorways out. Uhm, I think there's some things that if we're being completely realistic,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't a feasible way for us to do it unless you come to the show, and I know that's a tall ask and it's not going to work for everyone, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't make it cool for the people that can show up. Uhm, and you have talked about like maybe we'll put some extras up or something. They wouldn't be build to order though. Absolutely not, they'd just be random colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good question. Do you have a favorite video game soundtrack? For a long time it was the Bastion soundtrack. I liked that a lot. I used to run to that a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Halo intro is sick. It's so good, right? I've often been into music without lyrics because that's exactly enough distraction for me that I can stay focused on things well. The second you have lyrics, I start saying them in my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's bad. Um, so I used to like, I would just put on like the FTL soundtrack. Um, but that I don't think it's necessarily even that great. It was just something that I had heard a lot because I liked that game. Um, for like chill vibes, I used to like the, the grizzly Hills ambience. Um, just random stuff like that. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody's talking about Metal Gear Rise. My birds listen to the Assassin's Creed 4 sea shanties all the time. Always.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I watch it back, I forget things that happened and just burst out laughing. Yeah. So funny. Oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's four incoming merch messages that are all Linus related, and then we're basically Dunners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think Nick like seriously uses his, but he's the only person I know that does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, no, it's kinda hard to get inspiration for the type of stuff that we do when like everyone in the space is chasing VC money and buyouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's see what we got for you. Kick is apparently still down. Oh boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey LLD, excited to add a fine addition to my water bottle collection. When you worked at a customer facing role at LCIX, what were your biggest pet peeves with customers and why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you should explain the concept and maybe show off some of the ways that they can send a merch message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the joke? The joke? The polarizing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure thing. Let's see. Since you were able to travel again, what things did you realize you missed from trade shows and what did you not miss?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I have something special. That wallet you're holding right there. Oh. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah, sure. Hey, LLD, but mostly Luke. With the progress being made in both LLMs and humanoid robots from Boston Dynamics, do you see real life Westworld as a possibility in our lifetime? Have you even ever seen Westworld?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real humans go to the theme park to pretend to be westerns, but all the people in the, like, other people in the town are actually robots. And so you can shoot them and interact with them and like, have storylines and relationships with these fake androids that behave and look like people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably why they were so lifelike, because they were just literally people. Oh no, you're a robot, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's, it was, it was new, and like, they redid it in modern times, but it was, I think it was originally done in like the 70s or 80s or something like that, so they didn't have CGI, but they wanted this cool sci-fi thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit us again. Okay. Hi all, will people be able to post reviews about products on the lab site?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Linus, Bluetooth is frustrating. Do you foresee a technology- Agreed, let's move on. No. Do you foresee a technology that will replace or compete with Bluetooth, providing greater reliability and bandwidth for short distance communications?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Luke, do you want to start at the top? I will go at the top. Alright, let's get to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is labs going to be the only first-party information that is tested in-house, or if there is data that you can't test that is already out there, would you include that data on the website?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi all, do you expect GameLinked to be a direct competitor to currently existing games news channels such as GameRank's Friday News Show? How will you guys differentiate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, same. I expect this to be the same. I'm on the hype train with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you combat that? I'm trying to stop my heart getting ruined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, LLD, I'm a- Okay. No? No, go ahead. I'm a USA long haul driver. My company is looking at enforcing AI driver facing dash cams. I am concerned about privacy. What are some topics I can bring up to make sure the data is safe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. Dan. The future's weird. Some of it sucks. Hey DLL, good morning from Ireland. Linus, when your kids get older, if they wish to become more involved in home videos and allow their names to be published, would you let them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey LLD, data transfer is the main cost for a streaming platform. Would a peer-to-peer protocol make it viable for a company like Floatplane to compete with the casinos and beat giants?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good name. Hey Linus, you have talked about privateering a lot on the WAN show. Do you ever worry about a large media company coming after you legally and using things you have said on the show against you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Wen DLL, do you have any thoughts on the writer's strike, especially regarding its concerns with AI? Do you think ALMG will rely less on human writers and more on AI in the future?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Luke a Lord of the Rings fan? Yes. Do DLL have any thoughts or hot takes on remaking IPs and expanding cinematic universes? Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, moving on. Hello Dan and all!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question for Luke and Linus. What is a feature in cars that you thought was stupid before you tried and now cannot live without?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey DLL, LTT content has been a topic of lunch table discussions at multiple big tech companies I've worked in. What industry or product have you actually felt were impacted by your videos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, DLL, listening to the WAN show helps me get through work. Pretty Spotify listener. What's the biggest misstep you made? Getting LTT to where it is now, and how have you stopped it from happening again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, LLD. Just curious on the like to dislike ratio on the N64 unboxing. Did the predicted backlash manifest itself in any quantitative manner?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love what you guys do. Keep up the amazing work. Now for the question. If you've heard of it, thoughts on the Porsche's synthetic fuel. Do you think it will ever be viable on a large scale?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Linus, how is your Epson LS12000 holding up? I'm waiting on mine to come in as I build my home theater, but I've heard some quality control issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey LDL, I'm really happy with performance and don't care about ray tracing. How many generations is AMD from being able to beat Nvidia in a 4090 class card is being the strong value second to the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, DL and Young Luke. It's currently 5am where I live and I'm up with my 3 month old. Your voices have always helped soothe him. How old were you when you got into tech and what piqued your interest?

[Assistant] A DLL just started a new job and the IT department asked me to DM them my single sign-on password. What is the most egregious security breach you've seen in your careers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, uhm. I keep having to do that for Linus and it's getting really irritating. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, just, uh, him DMing me his passwords and me putting them in Keeper for him. Oh. I mean, that's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's never happened here. As far as I know. But the IT department asking that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe the other way around, like- Did you hear the question? What? Restate the question. Oh. I just started a new job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mhm. Hi DLLinus, the CPU fidget spinner chat earlier got me thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, would you consider doing a program where people can send in their own old CPUs to be turned into a fidget spinner?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the topic of Mark Rober, Mark Rober just spoke at my graduation and it got me thinking, would you ever consider being a graduation speaker for a college or university?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello Luke and Linus. Actually this is mostly a Linus question, but whatever happened to the gaming minivan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello Linus, would you rather get a Cod Damascus sink or toilet? Sink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke and Linus, when you hang out from work, are you able to keep the conversation away from work? And if so, do you have any tips to keep conversation away from office things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Linus and team! I work in engineering education and saw the videos of you and Dustin learning about the Saturn V. I was wondering what still sticks out to you from that experience, good or bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, big fan of the new house series. Of all the smartification you've added to your home, what has been the biggest quality of life improvement for you and your family?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, LLD. What happens to items that are returned? Will there be an LTDReturns.com?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First time Wan show watcher and orderer. Keep it up LTT. With the labs review suggestions, would you accept sponsored product reviews? Uh, IE a company or user donation to get a product tested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Linus, wanted to know your thoughts on Wendover's recent video showing Nebula, now worth 150 million, and have more than 650,000 paid subs. Do you think their business model might be something Floatplane adopts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A L L D LTT store question. What items took the longest or shortest time from initial thought to item available on the LTT store?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I have a Noctua related question actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black back collab? Like, they're gonna do an LTT product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LLND, what's a cool application of new technology that clearly wasn't intended use case, but it just fit perfectly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Lina's been loving the screwdriver. Ever thought about doing signed merch or anything related to exclusive items?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, LLD. Will we get an option to send in merch messages when we make merch purchases on the LTX website? Additionally, do you have an updated timeline on when a schedule will be made available?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, LLD, just like Apple in their presentations never using AR, VR, or AI, switching them with spatial computing and ML, does LMG writing have any such banned words you just can't use in videos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are your thoughts on the Gigabyte not RMA-ing GPUs with cracked PCBs as a result of GPU sag pressure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traveling solo from California to LTX. Is there an official looking for group forum or post for other people attending alone? I want to make friends, but I'm shy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earlier you mentioned that you had set prerequisites for your son if he wanted to create a YouTube channel. Could you please mention the goals you set and the reasons for making those goals?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't mind me just buying Father's Day gifts. Question, any updates on LTT coasters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question for Linus, what racket string and tension do you use? And what stringing machine do you have at home?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last one I've got here for the curated. Line, as you've mentioned, you support Children's Hospital, which is awesome. I do the same, but I'd suggest also Surrey Memorial, who are trying to get more children's facilities, but have far less money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, if you would start a company, would you do it alone or with someone 50 per- 50-50 ownership or just lead to conflict? Would you start LMG with Luke, for example? Wife as a business partner is the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, one sec. Sorry. How does this have-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world does not need Christmas album 2. But they're gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too much messages? I'm so sorry. That's okay, I forget to. Uhh, let's see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Dan and the talent. I'm hoping to do a study in my master's program on standardization in the tech space. Do you guys have any nuggets of wisdom on why it fails or succeeds when attempted? Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey DLL, good afternoon from Australia. How important do you think a university education is getting into the IT industry? I am studying currently, but all my employed friends seem to be so far in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot, I've also got glass here. That's okay, we'll clean it up on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying. Do you want it to go to stream? No, let's try that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get into position. Here we are. Assume the position. I am assuming the position. Okay, here we go. LMG plus LDT equals nah. LLD equals yay.
