[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R? I dunno. Uhm, I find better than 600s. I find 600s to be really big. And stuff. But, yea, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really have an answer. That was my answer. I tried to think of something else, and I have so far come up short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything can have, so many things can have some form of improvement, and I can be perfectly satisfied with something, but know that it could potentially improve in some way. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, I'll add some context to the previous question. Given the opportunity to pioneer on another orbiting mass, I'm doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The comment said if I remember correctly, which might be the explainer here, this usually happens to screen printed shirts. The cracking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's honestly in pretty good condition considering how old it is, and I don't know if this is our current printer. This is old though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I would consider getting that. Because being paced is not really super ideal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Back to CEO status? Got em. Mmm, in it. Let's go. Don't die so you can spend more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really boring answer, I apologize to everyone involved in this, but, uh, AI stuff, getting rid of menial work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, thanks for, thanks for showing up everybody. Thanks for coming out. Appreciate ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just a lot of like little things that take a lot of time and they take a lot of brain focus, even though it's, it's a, it's just a lot of busy work and there's really no need for us to do that. So yeah, that'll be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way I would answer that is just things that are basically just busy work that don't actually take


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creativity and don't actually take, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very noticeable amount of skill. I like the idea of automating those things. That's, that's my answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do want to avoid, there's this like, I feel like it's a big issue in video games where companies won't port over to other platforms even when their game does really well and they're not in an exclusive agreement. It's like bro, you actually would get a lot of sales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of crossover that there is with people that play on PlayStation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also enthusiastically play on PC is probably not as high as people might think. A lot of people have one platform that they use. Like, you should put your game on other platforms. But these are much more used things than potentially those alternative platforms that we're talking about. So we need to like avoid that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then also not just like waste our time merging an insane amount of content that isn't gonna give us a return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke? What do you want? Was- was that a s- did it say switch or s- or steam deck? Portable things. Oh, just in general?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, same because I also noticed that the whole DLSS thing should be in that category. Uhm, I was more interested in Linus's because I thought it was about the Steam Deck and I don't have one so I can't answer for that. And if it's about the Switch, like, please, dear God, obviously, performance holy cow. Steam Deck and Switch, yeah, both of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they might even have some hosted options, I don't remember. We didn't use them, obviously. Uhm, but yea, if you want to like modify it and stuff, it would be a choice. The one that we have is pretty tailored to us. Like, for a pretty obvious reason. So, I don't know, you might not even want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless you're like, unless you do exactly what we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, all the rest of the comments were great. I just, I think it's fairly... You say it yourself, dude. I think it's not... I'm not attacking you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I curated this one because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on what you do to a certain degree. Right, if you're on camera. It's higher, which makes sense, because you're gonna need more varied stuff to make it look like you don't wear the exact same shirt every single day. Right. Et cetera. Uhm, but it's pretty hefty. It's, it's notably higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know if this was like a thing that you got in reports or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a lot of car purchases and truck purchases, right? Because you see like these big honking trucks that are in like absolutely immaculate condition. It's like that's never been used for what it was designed for. Uhm, but just like, like you see these like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Incredibly high-end sports cars that have definitely never done more than the speed limit. Not saying you should, but it doesn't mean they track them either. Like they don't, they don't go to tracks, they don't, like why did you even, why, why did you spend that money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Just buy something cheaper. If you're not gonna use it. Yea, but it's about flexing, Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, much. Longest you've used a PC component though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what that would be. Probably some power supply. Uhm, or potentially the, the mudflap from the car. Monitor. Monitor! Yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like, if you want to see a bunch of cool stuff, there's that, that video where you see like, the building in the background and there's fire in front of it or whatever, I don't remember what the title is. Uhm, but you can check that out, it's a really good walkthrough of the lab. Uhm, and they go over a bunch of really cool stuff there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way I got my S3 was like this really sick roundabout thought process of operating system differentials, because like, the one that they wanted to replace my phone with didn't have as updated a version of the operating system, so I was like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that's how I did, I used that same clause for the operating system thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in my opinion, yes, because of privacy stuff, I think llama and alpaca are going to be really cool moving forward, especially once they get more deployable by the average person having LLMs being able to help you with local storage that don't, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were just talking on this show about all these like different medical companies and what not leaking information all the freaking time. Uhm, being able to have ownership over stuff that you're going to share a lot of information with is great. Uhm, and it always pissed me off that there was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very limited ability to have, like, voice assistant stuff, like you all, you see the Jarvis stuff in Marvel films and all that jazz, and you're like, I want that! And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The like, web connected voice assistants that we have are like, I feel like they haven't advanced like at all since they came out. I still use it for the same thing. I only ever use it to set alarms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, it's weird. I think what it's trained me to do is use it less over time. Like, just, I don't know, they're kind of trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted local ones because I feel like local ones would actually be more useful. And yes, there are ways to do that, but they're not very good. And I'm happy that Laman alpaca are showing up right at the beginning of all of this because I hope they stay strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Morrowind, uh, my reason for that is I wanted to bring up that story again because I think it's funny, uh, until my dad and I bought the player's guide for the game. The way the main quest started was you were given a package and you were supposed to deliver it, but the package had a value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would start new characters and then just vendor the package every time. And I never played the main quest for like a long time. I thought it was just basically a sandbox game. And then we got the player's guide. And I remember opening the page to the main quest and just being like, woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hilarious. This game has a main quest? What the heck? Yeah, that was funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You made a comment earlier on the show that we, we need to kind of slow down for a second, think of processes and stuff before we necessarily increase company size by 20%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate that phone. At no point in time have I liked that phone. It always has issues. If I just lay it down on my desk,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like turn the screen off, it'll just sit there and like, oh, screen turned on, oh, pulled the menu down, oh, put in some random inputs, oh, turn the screen back off, oh, screen back on, oh, menu down, menu up, menu down, open notification, close notification, menu up, just like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? And it's, I understand I just said I threw it on the floor. That is not a common thing, and it has done that since literally the day that I got it. Reported the issue, they said it's not a problem, won't take it back, like yadda yadda yadda, tons of other issues, just issues the whole way through. Tons of issues. Hate the phone. Not worth replacing. Whatever. It's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I get a bit weird by the end of it. That's fair enough. I didn't realize, uh, the stream duration right now is so cranked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. I, I never know, the stream duration that we have reported here includes the pre-show. So I don't know what like, it's actually gonna show on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks Leo. Okay. So you just decided to give more of your money to Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We made a tracksuit. Why did we make a tracksuit? For the only reason anyone makes a tracksuit, because we can. I have no idea how many tracksuits we're gonna sell. This was not, this was not one of those projects that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. Colton Money Potter right here. Oh man. Awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I picked up my water bottle to take a drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never happened before. Oh, woah, we've got Spongebob! Brought to you by Mel Science!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question for Luke, if the roles were reversed, would you have hired Linus for Luke Tech Tips 14 years ago? No, yeah, yes I would. And Linus, uh, the, I'll have to say that. Six fifties in Silver look amazing. Why would I not have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I got another one in here for ya. Uh, hey guys, stop for the beanie and the wands set. Uh, for all of you, including Dan, what's the most egregious injury you have sustained? I've had a life-threatening injury or broke a bone, so I'm curious what your experiences are. Injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's another one. What's the story with the audio production video? Will it be just a PC build or will you go more in depth with things like real time performance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, what's the story with the audio production video? Will it just be a PC build, or will you go more in depth with things like real-time performance latency?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, got another one here. Happy Thanksgiving. What are y'alls holiday trend traditions? I would love to hear about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could start eating, Beaver. Uh, hello Linus and Luke, Timestamp Guy here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My main issue with car manufacturers is them attempting to find ways to limit functionalities whilst calling it cutting edge. I understand costs of development and profits, but there must be a better way than subscriptions, right? Yea, it's cutting edge because they cut the edge off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thanks Alain, that's okay. Oh yea, merch messages, yea, that's right. Um, you're the reason I got into tech six years ago and while I'm, uh, majoring in electrical engineering in college today. Thanks for being an inspiration to many. What do you want to accomplish and expect from LTET in 10 to 20 years? High hopes for the future. 10 to 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you foster an environment, home and work, where people can freely give you constructive criticism? I ask this because the whole Elon violin, you just don't? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry Luca, I'm sorry, I'll try harder. Uh, I ask this because the whole Elon buying Twitter thing has me feel like no one was there to tell him no, and that's a bad idea. I feel like this is better answered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're gonna move on. I guess to, uh, to comment on that, there's no GoXLRs on the table, is there Linus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Linus is good to work with. Alright. Why, because you can just ignore me? I can ignore you and I can win. We've been battling for, I don't know, months now. It's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LTT in other languages. We actually have videos that we can show you on the actual channel. We can show you how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we can show you the dubs. I have not listened to them. I will be first time reacting to this. We'll see how it goes. Also- They are en Espanol. En Espanol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly wasn't entirely sure that I could nail the pronunciation of that, and I hadn't heard you say it yet, so I didn't want to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starting with Spanish, very cool. Uhm, also, G4 TV is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intro? Do I run the intro? I guess so. I, I certainly can't. Uh, intro auto. Boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vessi, MSI, and 45 Drives. Thank you very much. Uh, I think this is gonna be an interesting show because I realized during the intro that Linus does not have a swear button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on painkillers, let's go. I don't know if you guys can notice, but this side of my face is a little swollen. We'll maybe talk about that later, even though it's like kind of gross and not that interesting. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Linus isn't here, I wonder what's going on. Uhm. She's cheating. Ah! Oh wow, that actually hurt. Okay. Oh, sorry. I have to not react to things too hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The app store takes a monstrous, monstrous cut. This is, this is true on Android and, uh, and iOS platforms. I'm not trying to just go after them, but the, yeah, the, these app stores take huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huge cuts, uh, I think generally in the 30% range, which is a lot just for, just for hosting some downloads in a store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been shifting the rules on that. Uhm, I don't know exactly where it stands right now because the last time that they shifted their rules, uh, we matched exactly what their rule change was and then our app got denied for following their rules. And then I had to have like an hour long phone conversation about that and then our app got approved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because nothing matters apparently. Uhm, so I don't know. But yeaah, the line keeps moving because lawsuits and what not keep on happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes sense, that makes sense. I'm not sure, but I guess, I guess you can now, unless we're gonna see a huge legal battle between them, but I'm pretty sure you can. I think you're allowed to charge a differing amount at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the, I enjoy the reference. Uhm, I, I don't know, it's weird because like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With inflation, we've seen really intense inflation lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They mentioned here, but in Argentina, where inflation has reached 95%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hasn't been that bad in like Canada or the states, but it's still been really, really bad. If you have inflationary periods, if you, if you, if you sign an agreement with some company, okay, I'm going to pay, uhm, what was the original YouTube red one? 14.99, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna pay $14.99. Yeah, well in 10 years that $14.99 doesn't have the same power that it had when you originally signed that agreement. So maybe it could be a situation where like, uh, rate increases have to be within a reasonable margin or something? I don't know. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first read this, I was like, oh yeah, so they're gonna like completely screw over ad blockers and right before they do that, they're gonna do a massive rate hike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The YouTube premium? This might, this might just be me, like, finding things where they don't exist, but the, the timing's not, you know, exactly lined up, but it's pretty close, if I remember correctly, uhm, the, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember the exact verbiage for the change, but what they're doing, uhm, to, to Chrome that is going to impact ad blockers and probably some other things, but very notably ad blockers, uhm, is going to happen I believe in January? Which at this point is a few months away. It's not that far off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interestingly enough, I'll throw some context in there. Uhm, that is completely correct. That was very difficult. One of the main reasons why that was difficult is because we were actually changing business entities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other interesting tidbit is we can absolutely change people's agreements and increase or decrease prices at will. The reason why it's never come up is we're obviously not going to do that because that's incredibly stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but there is, there is ways that you can set up where you can totally change people's, uh, the monthly value. I love the idea of needing to press a button though, because something that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we know this at Floatplane, and anybody who has ever done Twitch streaming at a professional level knows this as well. When you have paid subscriptions, you will have, and this, I'm saying we know this at Floatplane, I'm not saying it's a good thing, it's just something that we have knowledge of, because if we didn't, we would just be stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all. There are going to be people that forget about them. Maybe the 5 bucks or the 3 bucks or the 10 bucks isn't a ton to them. Maybe they aren't really, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, uhm, so it's totally a thing. So if you don't, if you don't have, and a lot of people will also see a charge coming in, and they're like, oh, that's uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon or, or, or, or YouTube or Google or Walmart or whatever, like I recognize what this is and this is a payment that I pay every month. Okay, that's fine. So not necessarily paying too much attention to what the value is, but they're like, oh yeah, I subscribe to YouTube premium. That's the YouTube premium payment. Sounds good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I, I filter it out. I never even, this email never hit my inbox on my personal email. Cause it's a marketing email, I just filter it out, I don't care. I learned about this cause your tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? Oh that's hilarious. Cause I didn't see the email. And I'm a YouTube premium person. So this sucks. Like I'm not stoked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how your payment is $10. I'm not sure what currency you're paying in. Uh, but you- I haven't heard of YouTube Premium ever being $10. Yeah, so you must be in a different region. Maybe your region isn't, uh, isn't affected by this? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that would be a fair amount of digging. Uhm, you guys should just not pay us twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google play music and like maybe something else. You got grandfathered multiple times, something, something, something. I don't know what's going to happen to all of those. Uh, but in general, there is, there is a, it's a big rate. Do you know? Uh, so it is, is what the creators take from premium views, a percentage of the premium price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've always kinda seen YouTube that way. We had a, I don't think, I don't know if it was last week, uh, but we were, we were talking about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like what resolutions would you still watch YouTube at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was like basically whatever cause where else am I going to go for this? Um, yeah. And it's like, it's, it gets to the point where it's like, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the resolution goes so low, you just don't watch videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause where else are you gonna go? Twitch VOD is, does not cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People have asked a bunch of times, like, why don't you make free ad-sported tiers on Floatplane? I'm like, cause it's an insane amount of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's, it's a massive amount of work to broker those advertising deals or you're just jumping on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something like YouTube AdSense anyways. Yeah, yeah, I'm giving Google a cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you can't be competitive with them regardless. So like, what is, what is the value add here? Like it's, it's... It's tough. It's a, it's a hard space to be in, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are, there are other ways on mobile. Uhm, and you can still get your 4K. Uhm, but I have premium so I don't care and I don't want to talk about it. Uh, but there, yeaah, on, on TV I have no idea because I've never been interested in watching YouTube on TV to be completely honest. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I haven't looked into it myself on mobile. It's definitely possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On computer it's definitely possible. I did mention earlier, uh, in, in I believe it's January, uhm, someone, Manifest v3 is coming. That's gonna mess with ad blockers. Maybe we'll see if that'll, that'll push that down. In regards to ad blocking, I do think this will cause a little bit of that. I do question how many people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would go from paying for it to ad blocking it because of this change. I'm sure it will be some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But will it offset the increased amount that they'll make from charging way, way more? Like this is a massive increase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime I open the wrong browser, I run away immediately, because I hate seeing the ads. For me, it's a big...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multi-tiered thing where I, I, I want to support other creators on, on YouTube because I watch a bunch of YouTube. Um, and I know they get better cuts when I'm watching as a premium subscriber. So I think that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that part of it. I like that there's no ads and I don't feel bad about it. Um, I understand that there is actually a huge amount of cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so just blocking all the ads on YouTube, uhm, feels a little wonky when I, I feel quite strongly about the whole malvertising thing. I don't think I need to go over that for like the 20th time on WAN Show. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't necessarily think that malvertising on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is actually a big problem, uhm, maybe it is, but I've never heard of it being a problem. I, I mostly am interested in, in stopping those types of problems outside on, on other, other parts of the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, supporting a platform that I use a ton that I know costs a lot to run and be able to support other creators that I actually want to support through doing that, knowing that they make more money off of it. All of those things together makes it pretty reasonable for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure. There's, I think there are, and just like you can talk about, uh, exploits and bugs and systems, um, without encouraging people to do them, there are definitely ways, uh, to, uh, yeah, reduce, reduce the impact of this change for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like using Firefox in January for no specific reason, uhm, or, or, or yeaah, potentially, uhm, expanding your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might, you might not have poor friends that all want to pay for YouTube. Uhm. But, you might find them. I wouldn't be surprised if there was like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A discord server or something that sprung up which was like to fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it six people, you and five others?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, after launching with a fairly strong showing with Ryzen 7000, AMD looked like they might be doing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty okay. But Intel was looming with 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs and they may have cut the celebration short. Apparently it's been a little rough. Launched yesterday, the new CPUs posted impressive numbers with the Core 9 13900K. These names are getting really long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this is one of the reasons why, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Future proofing is, is something that we always kind of scoff at a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because when, when people, when people talk about like, oh, I want to like really multi-thread capable CPU because the future, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it's not really happening. It's kinda hard to dev software like that. Uhm, so people just don't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I, so back when I was in high school, I've, I've talked about, uh, my high school computer teacher a few times and I, I mentioned a few shows back that he, he created this like 3D game programming course for us. We, we had to do some basic 3D modeling in that class and we used this program called milk shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it sounds like milkshake, but it's milkshape, and I just googled it to see if it was still a thing, and I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, I used to do some of that stuff a long time ago. Kinda cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you guys can see this, but there's like, there's a fan on this side of the power supply. And there's even like the grill, the power switch, and the plug on the back. It's kinda cool. This is pretty sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's continue the AMD discussion. Especially if there's something that isn't just like a shirt. Yeah. You know? I'm sure they have a bunch of shirts. Uh, yeah, continued AMD discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, all of this, all of this AMD crushing power does come at, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A currently trendy cost, which is kind of surprising to me that this is currently trendy, but the power consumption is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monstrous. Apparently our testing saw a peak of 350 watts, but other outlets measured power draw up to 400 watts and beyond with the limiters removed and with throttling on 360 millimeter AIO coolers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Subambient. And, and, uh, Anthony has a note saying this means it's possible to approach a kilowatt of sustained draw for a personal home computer. I added that little bit in. Between CPU and GPU alone! With a 4090 test rig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the, uh, the top end of performance on com- on personal computers just cranking PowerDraw as far as I can tell pretty much as hard as they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the 4090 race wasn't undervolting, I thought it was lowering the power target.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, someone said, uh, let me see if I can find it again. Do do do do do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had to put a quarter in every hour, I probably wouldn't. I think I would genuinely play less games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, sure, but not, not, I, I would probably reduce. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to... That's wild. I wanna figure out exactly how much it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is, so that's cents, right? P, pence, is it? Yeah, yeah, pence. So 0.334.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, you're right. 52 cents. That's a lot. That's actually like a ton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I remember when solar panels up here were not. Uhm, obviously they've gotten a lot more efficient since then. Uhm. They're still stupid here, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because our power is still cheap. I didn't want to rub it in for everybody. Falling water. But you know, the whole falling water might not keep happening thing is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Because like, everyone that I know just kind of shrugs at power. That lives here, to be clear. Uh, because we've always been like, meh, it's falling water. It's fine. Uhm, and I mean, it is for now. For now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's true. Yeaah. Yeaah. We are, we gotta spread the, spread the burden out, you know? Uhm. But yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's cool. And it's not like it's happening now. It has happened. It's live. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you want to watch it through the stream, you can, you can just do that, but you can also bring it up on your own end. Like it's, it's live and it functions now. Something that I didn't know until I sat down and we went over this is that, uh, you don't have to make a new channel for it anymore. So this is just on the actual main channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had a lot of people commenting too, whether it's on the... You don't have to make a new channel for it anymore. So, this is just on the actual main channel. Uh, this is a really cool feature. Technical difficulties! We'll get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, I can, I can walk you through...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the visual experience without a natural visible, visible indicator. So you guys all know what I'm talking about. If you're on YouTube in the bottom right hand corner of a video, there's the settings cog wheel. We all know it. We all love it. You click on it. There's the audio track section now. So instead of just like playback speed, annotations, quality, the things you're used to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play it first and then we'll talk a little bit more about it. I haven't heard this. So, let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I, I mean, being a- not able to understand it at all. Cause I can't speak a single word of Spanish. I, I think the tech is really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, our implementation completely regardless, having it so that you can switch audio tracks like that and having it support, uh, languages for, for the, the use case of that feature is sweet. And I, I think we should all be pretty happy that that exists on YouTube because of like what Linus is saying, the, the accessibility stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it could be better, maybe it could be worse. Uhm, I just think it's a really cool feature, and I'm, I'm stoked. I like it when sites like YouTube innovate, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so much that can be done when you have an audience that is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As close to the entire planet as you could basically get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah, I think it's really cool. And I like that we're using it, because why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So someone who learned from bad translations how to speak a language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's always interesting when you talk to someone and they're like, oh, my English is really bad. And it's like, oh, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. And then they, they, you actually start having conversations with them and you start kind of wondering like, is their English might be better than mine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, lots of people never even heard of it. OGG4 was better. I didn't hear about it until years later because I ended up watching Adam Sessler on a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game review channel that I don't remember the name of anymore, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I believe like all the hosts left and then it was not cool anymore. Uhm, but I used to like that game review channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but I had never, that's the only reason why I knew that G4 existed was people would comment about him being on it back in the day on that show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bunch of people calling, like a lot of people calling out X-Play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're very ignorant in all of this. So yea, when it came back, I didn't have the nostalgia ref, so I didn't, uh, I didn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to start watching it, because I never watched it in the first place. I got nothing against it. Uhm, it sucks that it went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard a lot of different various commentary on this about how they think that, um, the, that space is now pretty well covered by a lot of smaller, independent, like one to two bit outfits here and there. More agile. Yeah. Um, like I know, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the people that work there are gonna do well, uh, because apparently-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like I, I, I have heard that the, the, the behind the scenes team was, was just absolutely fantastic. Uhm, I've heard that the, the hosts were all really good. Uhm, but they, they just weren't really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting the viewership that they needed to sustain the cost of having this apparently, again, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have heard this apparently massive studio and very extensive staff, um, because it's expensive. It's going to be expensive. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's a bunch of people in chat, like what one person, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, but I didn't know where to watch G4. I don't- were they on YouTube? I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I'm looking at G4TV's YouTube channel and they're getting like three, four thousand views a video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just not gonna do it for the, for the staff that they had. I don't, I don't know if everything actually hit the YouTube channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a lot of places use YouTube channel as like partial archive side business thing. Uhm, but yeah, they, they, uh, the, the budget was extremely high and when budgets are extremely high, you're going to have to perform at a level that can pay for the budget. And it seems like that wasn't happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of marketing for something like a YouTube channel is through recommended stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and is, is the platform that you're on. Again, I don't know if they were fully on YouTube, but if they were fully on YouTube, uhm, then getting three to four thousand views with the, with the team that they had is, is just not gonna support the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The math just doesn't work, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, either way, condolences for, for the team there. Um, I know I've said it like 14 times, but I think they're going to be okay. There's, I know of two different outfits that are currently putting out like, hey, if you worked there, hit us up. Cause we're, we're hiring people like you. Um, so I think they'll be all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I hope that's true for all of them. Obviously you want people to be able to find gainful employ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, talent were expected to play a role in managing public relations and little action would be taken by the company in times of controversy. I don't know what that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know a ton about it. I just, I hope that, uh, I heard it was good from some people that I trust. And I hope that the, the people that were doing a good job in order to make it good land on their feet. And that's pretty much it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really not enjoying this, like, modern people getting fired through figuring it out, through hearing it on the news thing. Uhm, I'm sure, to be fair, that was a thing in the past as well, but I've been hearing a few of those lately. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't, there isn't a ton of money in it. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gaming is something that the people that are doing well on YouTube in gaming are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, their audience that is interested in not just the fact that they talk about games, but they're interested in the person. So I'm not saying they're using their audience in a negative way, uh, but they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making forms of content that aren't just gaming content, uh, because maybe they don't want to just make gaming content, and also they get to put that video in a different advertising segment than just gaming, which is often a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Just to, just to put that out there. And I've, I've been one of them. Uhm, there was, I don't know if you guys remember this, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I bring this up? Yea, let's go for it. Uhm, Cuphead. Cuphead. Do you remember the launch of Cuphead? I think we even talked about this on Wancho back in the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was actually hilarious, uh, and, and a lot of, a lot of reviews coming out about games that are hard or like, like, let's say Cuphead, the Cuphead one was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty bad, uh, watching the person's playthrough where they spend whatever it is, like 25 minutes trying to get through the tutorial that should take people like 30 seconds was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, uh, was pretty intense. Uhm, but, but watching reviewers rate difficult games really poorly because they couldn't accomplish it, uhm, is, is not fun. It's not good. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I think, I feel like the gaming audience is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More ready to go after the reviewer in those situations than a lot of other audiences. Uh, which is, which is fine and fair. Uhm, but when the money's low and the audience is brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes the business decision. And the competition is high. And the competition is very high. Cause there's a lot of game reviewers and there's a lot of good game reviewers as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We named two of them on the show. It's not like the, it's not like there's a hole there that we need to fill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like what, what could we do differently in that space? There's a bunch of people that do really long form like video essay type content on games that is just amazing. Like the amount of research that goes into it is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And honestly, like, that's cool. How many views is that gonna get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we make, how do we make a good business call out of Linus talking about map packs on Beat Saber? I think it would probably be a thing where it's just like a passion project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then you're, you're, you're paying people's wages for a passion project because it's going to need to get edited. And then if we, if we make a mistake over there, uh, the, the people that are angry about it are going to cleave all of the other companies and groups that we have, which is pretty extensive at this point. Um, so it's just, it's tough. It's tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and be very successful. And make really good money. But it's often one to two bit outfits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And like for me, the type of content that I would want to make if I made content like that would be content similar to, uh, like Ahoy or Nakey Jakey or channels like that. And there's no way I would be as good. So you should probably just watch them. And I'm just being real about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I wish it made, I don't think it made it into the cut or maybe, maybe like one version of it did or something, but Linus figured out how to, how to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] K.O. your character. I'm gonna say it that way. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just ragdolling in the middle of this, like, starport. And Morphologist, who's a fantastic creator. He's an architect who does reviews of the ships and stars and he does other stuff as well. Uh, but he's trying to like, show us this game and how cool it can be. We're just like, run run run run, boom!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I would have fun. I could have some fun making some, I've had some video ideas in my head for like years, uh, that I would really like to explore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like there's a, there's a few that I've wanted to do. I've even started writing scripts on a few of them over the years and then just been like, this is so, this is way too similar to what I do for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Releasing this on my personal channel would probably be really weird. I don't like really want to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then they haven't become anything, but it's still something that like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, but then if I do it during work hours, the whole time I try to do it, I'm just going to be like, holy crap, there's other things I should be doing. So I don't know. It just doesn't really line up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe you could have your own, uhm, I haven't been doing it as much lately because we're crunching pretty hard, we're behind on a bunch of things, but Flowplain


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In theory has this thing where on the last Friday of every month, uh, except for right now, uh, we do something where we do creative day where people are supposed to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Effectively no real major value and that's completely fine. Uh, but it's a cool creative outlet. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if, if you're able to have the time to be able to do that, but one of the problems with those types of systems is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to have that time is, is hard. Uhm, so, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Conrad just pointed out. Merch messages was originally a creative day thing. Yeah, it was a, there was a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suggestion from a viewer, I don't remember exactly how detailed it was, and then Conrad took it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way further and turn it into merch messages, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now that's like a core part of Wanshow and a notable part of the business. Really, really, really cool. There's been other stuff that has come out that has been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, very good from Creative Day as well. Uhm, and it's something that I want to get back into. We're just behind on some stuff, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think those things can be valuable. I think Linus having some time to just riff on things that he finds interesting would be cool. Uhm, but time is very leveraged right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know, video game reviews. It's something we've been thinking about for years. Because before we started Channel Superfun, it was like, uh, which one do we do type of conversation. Uh, Channel Superfun or game stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, uh, I feel the same way. There's a question which is like- And Adam says-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really quite sad. Uhm, I've always really... Cause you, you don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe you don't care too much right now about some of these things closing down. Maybe you haven't thought about Mirror's Edge for a while, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a bunch of games where I don't think about them for a decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then one day I'll talk to a buddy about it and we'll reminisce over some good times with some game that I forgot the name of. Oh yea, member Worms Armageddon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. And it's like, man, we should play Wormsart again. That's actually really fun. And with Wormsart again, you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can have a hoot. And it's really quite genuinely entertaining. It's fun to go back and play that game. Some fun parts of it can even be going, wow, this is a bad game. Uhm, just figuring out like, okay, in the last however many years, a lot of good quality of life things have happened to gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That part is interesting, I'm not saying that with Wormswarm, I'm getting to be clear, uh, but that has been something that has happened to me a couple times that I've, I've put some rose-tinted glasses on about a certain game, gone back to play it, and then I'm like, oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually I think I have a pretty good memory for that stuff, but not all the time. But I want to be able to do that. Uhm, and I think it's crazy that it's becoming a thing that you can't. Uhm, and this is something that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about on Wanshow when it started becoming more popular, that games were becoming always online, multiplayer experience, blah, blah, blah, blah, and no one seemed to care. And now it's starting to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think we're running into a situation where a decent amount of people don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember how that quote works. Uhm, but like, I think that's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should care. This sucks. This is bad. The, the, there's groups out there that try to, uhm, preserve old gaming experiences. Uhm, and I think that's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, I don't know, this is sad. The question of what game are you most disappointed to see off-lined? Uh, I don't know. I'm just disappointed to see any of them off-lined. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And even if no one wants to play it anymore, maybe someone wants to play it further out on the line. And, and, to be clear, I don't think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop looking to the air off camera. Yeah, sorry. I'll look at cardboard Linus a little bit more often. Uhm, I don't think anyone is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that these companies should have to necessarily host the online servers for these in perpetuity forever. They should do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I think someone else mentioned, I think Anthony or maybe Linus, they should make it so that other people can if they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Forge Alliance is, I think it's actually brilliant. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I want is for there to be a route. And if people don't wanna put the effort in, if you have made the path clear, if people don't wanna put the effort in, that's fine. But the path needs to be clear. There needs to be a path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just shutting it down, creating no potential path forward. That's not cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like that at all. And I, I would really love it if something happened. I don't know if it has to happen legally or what, uh, but something happened so that this couldn't happen anymore because we're, we're legitimately losing history and it's not, it's not good or cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone said Asheron's Call. Apparently there's multiple community servers now because you can do that. That's great. Asheron's Call is an ancient MMO. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I suspect Microsoft does not expect that they're going to be able to make money off of the original assurance call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and that might be a very accurate thing. Uhm, but yeaah, just let the community host some stuff. And if you want to put in stuff, hey, you can't profit off of this, or they have to have official, uh, license keys for the software to be able to play on your server, whatever. Sure, whatever. Just make it possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm concerned we're getting trolled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, really fun one, uh, I don't know, maybe you mentioned this and I just didn't hear it, but, uh, Parliament, part, part, I don't know, whatever, the, the parent company, uh, docks numerous verified users and investors by CCing them instead of BCCing the announcement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The quality level of a lot of Google's hardware was best when they didn't make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the Nexus devices- Sorry, I just kicked you. Uhm, the Nexus devices- Ow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go, there you go. Uhm, the Nexus devices were sweet. The Pixel devices almost immediately started to go-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit downhill, yeaah. Uhm, I don't remember a Nexus device not being good though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so if you go in not expecting them to be the absolute best thing on the market, uh, but to very likely be the best thing in that price segment, they were really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, as a pixel person I have been disappointed over the last few years. Uhm, more than few years I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been hearing for quite a while about how Apple's market share has been increasing, increasing, increasing. You wonder who they're taking that from. It's like, well. Probably, probably Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think playing high difficulty Anno on console would be really hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of thing. Pirates are coming. Like there's stuff going on. You have to react really fast. Hopefully they do a really good job of it. Uhm, because more fans of Anno would be more cool. Uh, but yeah, that sounds really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, someone pointed out you can plug in keyboard and mouse to consoles these days. Uh, I don't know how many people do that. I suspect it's very uncommon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's not gonna be, it's not gonna be like, putting up a poll on floatplane chat is, is not gonna accurately answer that question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was saying that we have a concentrated audience of technical people here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanted to figure out the resolution of monitors that people had on Steam, and you pulled the float plane audience, it's gonna be wrong. Because you'd have to find-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a problem. The sample size is wrong. It's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What gaming memories do you have? Something that I really deeply enjoyed was Morrowind. Talked about Morrowind a lot, I know. Uh, Morrowind was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A game that my dad, my dad and I played a lot. No one else, like my brother didn't really care, he wasn't that into it. But my dad and I played a bunch. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I've told this story before, but I didn't realize that I had never actually started the main quest until we were like, we had never bought a player's guide before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but the internet was in its infancy still a little bit. And they were expensive. And it's still the only game I've ever bought one for. Uhm, but I don't know what really compelled us to do it, but at one point we were just like, there's clearly a lot to this game, we're clearly missing a ton, let's check out a player's guide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we did and we got one, uh, and then immediately figured out that there was a main quest and we just had no idea it existed because you could sell the item that started the main quest. So I just sell it every time. I don't need this thing. And that turned into,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad and I like playing Morrowind co-op style where one of us would be piloting the character and we'd trade back and forth all the time. It wasn't like just me all the time or anything. Uhm, one of us would be piloting the character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other one would be reading from the player's guide and figuring out, like, what should we go do next? And the player's guide was written in a really, really cool way. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's, it was genuinely really well written, where they would keep...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, they communicated that to you at the beginning of the player's guide, so they made it very clear that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna, if, if, if you're looking at, like, you can use it in a way that if you see some cave, or, or if you read through the player's guide and it's like, oh, there's a cave here and you didn't know that was there or something, you could use it to get you there, and then you could explore it on your own, and then you could check with the player's guide to make sure you got everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it may, it tried to make it so that you were still exploring the world on your own, but you could use the player's guide to make sure that you weren't missing entire whole experiences like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole main quest. Uhm, and my dad and I playing Morrowind is probably one of, if not genuinely, my favorite memory of gaming. But that's not, I'm not gonna share that. If I had a child, I'm not gonna share that with my child. It's not gonna be the same way. Uhm, so I don't know. I have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow, yeaah. So it has to, like the lid has to come off every day or something. Uhm. Smart deodorant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if, what if you did, what if you did, uh, like a LTT store discount, if you actually, and we'd have to find some way to track it, and I don't necessarily know how, but you get like an LTT store discount or like a free full plane subscription or something, if you, if you actually use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's lame. You gotta actually use it and get down to it. Oh, that's pretty sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I, yeah, finding some way to incentivize actually using it, I think would be something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would bring something to the space, you know? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, make it a good thing. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was listening to something recently. Ah, what was it? I don't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was someone who had gone to like a Twitch, TwitchCon or something like that. Uhm, and they, they mentioned that they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remembered a specific fan and the fan was like, oh wow, like how do you remember me? I just like took a photo with you and they were like, oh yeah, you, you didn't stink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeah, I don't know, I think that's something that we could bring to the space. And then, and then, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, and honestly, if the part of tech that you're interested in getting into, or if this is at least a possibility for you, uhm, is software development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is an immense amount of ways that you can learn software development, uh, online without going to some form of, uh, formal secondary education or post-secondary education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No problem. And lots of people will hire on your ability instead of your education in the software development space. Lots of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would prefer to look at a portfolio. A lot of people don't have them. A lot of people that have been working in the space for a long time won't have them, uh, because they've been working for companies and the companies aren't publishing their code. So, um, yeah, but if, if you're, if you're starting from nowhere and you have a portfolio you can show to people, awesome. If you've contributed to open source projects, so people can see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually like working in the wild, that's huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just yeaah, start making stuff and be able to show examples of stuff that you've made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when I'm looking for people to do development on websites and they can send me a thing that's like, here's the websites that I have made and I go look at them and they're made well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a pretty good sign, uhm, so yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also like, uh, a side project for Conrad. He does all of the work for LTT stores, uh, like web development as well. Um, and there's been, there was a pretty huge push to push the new theme and then there's been reacting to feedback from the theme and all this type of stuff going on. So yeah, I'm sure he'll, he'll get to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bye! And then, wait, nope, we gotta run the thing. I got it. Hold on, oh, he's got it. Did you run the right one? You clicked it in the dashboard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the first ones that we got is from Carlos. What came out of this that you most appreciate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeah, uhm, so we've set some records, uh, the merch message server, uhm, exploded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, Conrad and I have been dealing with that. Uh, the backlog was about 200 for a little while there. I would like to apologize to everyone. I have read every single one of your merch messages. Uh, the time remaining in the queue is an hour and ten minutes for them all to be displayed down the bottom of the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's currently 343 in the cube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we have had over 700 and have been live for just under two hours now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it put me in a tough position too, because normally I do these on Thursdays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, so this was a Float Plane exclusive that was live for five hours straight today. Oh, sorry. It's a basket of cookies. Basket of cookies, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm no longer allowed to ever miss a wancho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was talking to some people about this too. Uh, I can technically do this job remotely. Shut up. So you guys would be here, and I can do all this remotely. Right? Yeah. So, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no, there's no more missing of- The show must go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh! Oh yeah, that one is very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no. No yeah, that one's not. Oh why? Oh. That one's not. Oh yeah, definitely not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on the spot. Probably not positive news. So it looks like the logs most likely didn't save the curated status, but we're currently working through pulling the entire order history from this evening. So not good news for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, hit me. Uhm, I now have a spreadsheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of unsorted merch messages, including a lot of garbage data that is 2007 lines long. Yeah, cause it's just like the order. I'm going to go parse this and I will have some merch messages for you. I believe Conrad is now working through the, um, 170 that have come in since this has happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next up, Luke, we haven't had a meet the team from you yet. So what is something you hate for no good reason other than you just hate it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Yep, moving on. Sorry. Well, you'll probably like this one then. Uh, hi Linus. Hi Luke. Greetings from a new floatplane subscriber. Hey! Questions from Luke. Questions for Luke. How challenging was it to scale up floatplane given the sudden influx of so many new subscribers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. How many shirts do we have to buy to get more Dan Butt streams? I loved it today. Oh, Dan Butt. That's not how I interpreted that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I popped in a few times to calm anxieties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, up next. What do you weigh heavier for LTT outage? Wannock data loss or LTT being hacked?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, next up. Um, subscribe to Float Plane in January and today sealed a long-term customer. Sorry we all hugged Float Plane too hard this evening. Uh, has the latest uptick in subs changed plans for future infrastructure expansions?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, last one I've got on my list here. I've seen a shorter version of the screwdriver. Any estimated time of arrival on what will be this year or is it still unknown when it will be released? When's the stubby coming Linus? My stubby's here right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm-I'm on your curated messages now. M-mess-messages. Wait, you're done your sheet? Yes. Oh. Oh, well that's fantastic. Okay. Did you want more? Well I'm-I'm just kinda-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure. A lot of them were, uhm, like, responses to merch, or like, stuff that you had already talked about. Like, a lot of people were curious who edited Linus's junk out of the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And, uh, a massive outcry, uh, were people wishing us the best through this, and support, and love, and uhm, mostly Linus' junk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, no, uhm, so a lot of support. A lot of support, which was really nice. Uhm, I can have another fine-tooth comb, but uhm, I think when we had that last, I think I had about six to ten, impurated, and like another six to ten, uhm, cause I wasn't able to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, hit us. Alright, this next one's from Mitchell. Linus and Dan, not Luke, uh, have you ever seen the new Sonos era speakers and do you think they will find their way into your current arc setup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're all garbage. Uhm, I wouldn't buy this because isn't Sonos the company that like moonlights their old products and then you can't use them anymore because they're all like app connected?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next generation of ND, sorry, NHD15 comes out. He's falling apart at the seams over there. You're doing great, Dan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Adam. Hi Linus and Luke. What if any would be the certification in hardware or software you wish you would have gotten earlier in your career?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next up is from Cornelius. This one looks like it's about me. Yo Dan, I'm someone who's getting into making, mixing, and mastering music. What a coincidence. Who would have curated this merch message about you? It wasn't me, I was outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Single-core processing speed, uh, definitely. Uh, the way that DSP processing works is, uh, you can't really split and multiprocess cores. Uh, you can do it in some instances with VSTs and other things like that, but the final audio chain needs to be single-threaded, otherwise it can't keep the samples in lockstep. Uhm, another thing is really, really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you have 50 seconds to make that call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, do we wait? What do we do? Do you want me to end the stream?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm tired. Uh, okay. Uh, Luke, Linus, and Dan. What is your go-to fast food or quick takeout for when you're too busy to eat at home? Luke might have to answer as he would have before he was chicken and rice look. Oh, I've got chicken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, more. Uhm, AJ. Always more. You guys often joke about Colton being fired. And I know that started when he got LTT two copyright strikes in a row. Can you say what actually got those videos striked?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many OG tier subscribers are still on Flowplain? And how do you think you can incentivize them to move on to a profitable plan? I curated this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've mulled this one over for a bit now. Uhm, you're not learning how to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mix or make good audio. You know, from the mechanical standpoint of like, which knob do I turn and how do I make this waveform look properly? What you're doing is developing an intuition on kind of how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How it's sounding now and where I can massage it into where it needs to be, right? It's kind of, it's more like, I tried to explain this to somebody else the other day, uhm, audio is not like drawing, it's more like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's constantly evolving. And so, uh, the other thing I wish I knew is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a novice forever. That's it. You don't get good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a 45 minute rant on the history of the Term Master. Whatever. Uh, that's my, that's my thing. Oh, there's another merch message. Do you guys like my, sir, they've just hit the second channel meme. I was surprised by how many upvotes it got on the subreddit. I hope it brought you some joy during the stress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Lemus and Luke, I'm currently working as an advanced repair agent at Geek Squad, and I was wondering, how do you feel about the Geek Squad as a whole, like, to call us diet, uh, IT consultants?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, did you curate that? No. Who curated that? I didn't curate that. Who curated that crap? Oh, we need, uh, we need auth history on this. You've been called out. This is from Timothy. Hopefully this sneaks in. Uh, at Dan, rooting for your remaster of the Christmas album. Hopefully Linus doesn't notice this. Uncur- archived. Archived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, next up is from Luca. Good evening Linus. What do you think about YubiKeyz as part of your IT security concept would definitely be a good video topic as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can't think of anything like docks and sheets, mostly. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that, like, Lance M asked, uh, was the fight with Dennis cathartic? Uhm. I think that's a great...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really nice having like, the day to just not be on if you don't want to be. Like, the only day. It is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a lot that are potential, you can have a look at those if you fancy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna read us some curated ones? Hit me. Sure. Uh, let's see. Ben asks, Hello Linus. With the rise of power consumption of computers, I have hit an issue in the USA where I cannot run four computers on the same room. Do you have any suggestions for people who are stuck with a 15 amp breaker? Currently I have to run an extension cord. Also run the GPU for Plex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've come pretty far. Sorry, floodplain. Whoops. What? Uh, my mic was muted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus used to wear a cadpad parka. Matthew was wondering if he was in the armed forces or just perpetually cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Josh M. asks, been a while since I've been able to watch the show live. When doing your smart home stuff, was, uh, Savant ever a thought? I'm an installer for them and while highly proprietary, they seem to be leading the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, uh, did you like consider a bunch of different stuff or were you just sent things to put in your walls?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's move on here. We got another one from Anonymous. Question for Luke about the Yard podcast. Who is your favorite member and or favorite guest they have had on the show? I have no idea what this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hope so. Don't worry about it. Do you think USB could ever get in the, uh, get to the point where it would be the standard used to connect all components inside a PC? No. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like an XKDC, uh, XKCD thing, you know, another standard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tommy W asks, Hi Linus, do you have any advice on building a team for a small startup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex B asks, getting a screwdriver today and saving for the backpack. Which two fantastic launches in the last couple of months? Which product are you most proud of, the screwdriver or the backpack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, Wayne asked, uh, other than USB cables LTT is planning to make, what other cables would you like to make? HDMI, DisplayPort, Cat5e, Cat6, Coaxial for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, so you want them to be both flexible and 4K. Yep. It's not like a coaxial stable that is good for a long-term camera use, right? Well, I mean, yeah, we could look into it. I think we were, and it was just extremely expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got, uh, one from Michael here. Do you have another recommendation other than the a-a-a-a-ring?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna say it wrong now, I'm scared. Uh, have you tried circular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your watch that you're wearing now, like, isn't a pebble?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Shank would like to ask you why you're not wearing the pebble that he, uh, This is the problem with gifts, but it's also there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oooooh, you got it on the backpack, that's awesome. I just wanted a friendly rip you about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we got a special message here from Jeff. Uhm, wanted to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give a happy birthday to his wife, Sarah Blankenship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's, uh, one of the rare and amazing human females that love LDT, the entire crew, including myself apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just wondered if you guys could wish her a happy birthday. Yeah, happy birthday, Sarah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one's from Richard. You have the best 4K HDR TVs, sound systems and PC hardware. Do you think having access to the best tech for so long has skewed your idea of what an average person wants in terms of tech?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, your viewers are the techier crowd, but I bet most people won't notice FPS past 128 Hz. I think it's a temporal problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hey Linus, has inflation and the current negative market affected LTT in any way? Also happy to get my fi- uh, hand-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happy to finally get my hands on one of the LTT screwdrivers. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Richard, on the subject of companies killing services slash products, is there anything you wish stuck around? I mesh Nexus devices. What on earth is a Nexus device?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hey team, uh, FYI, I couldn't post a merch message on your Android while logged in, but I can as a guest. The live section didn't come up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, would you guys try compressors on your mics when you're quiet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember curating this one. I did. Sorry. You did? Okay, yeah. So we actually do have a compression stra- eh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compression stage in our, uh, audio chain. Uh, we have both a hardware compressor and then also a software compressor. Uh, the idea is I want to maintain Linus and Luke's dynamic range, uh, with being able to prevent any sort of digital clipping, uh, or even analog clipping from, from that stage there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's difficult to keep these guys in check. Uhm, the mic position is not always right. You've got, uh, different levels of excitement. You know, and it's not a perfect room either. So, we're gonna pick up any background noise from our AC and that sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking after today, you know, I was fixing some of those wrinkles. I was looking at this setup here. This just needs to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need something else. I'm gonna fix this place and no more GoXLRs are gonna be mentioned. Oh really? This is gonna be the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Podcast set, live streaming set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard it here. I swear on Linus's, uh, life. Son. I don't- Get it? Wow. Get it? Yeah. Get it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That should be easy for everybody and not terrible and sound better. Anyway, yes, I use two types of compressor and I'm still bad at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got more. This is from, uh, Christian. Uh, hey guys, first time message. I missed the start of the show, but, uh, so I don't know if you've covered it, but what is your take on Mr. Who's the Boss video talking about Samsung batteries expanding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been waiting for the Chungus bottle. Curious about how YouTube handles retention for videos watched at faster speeds. I watch most things at one and a half times or faster, and I'm worried it hurts creators. It does not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Luke, when did you begin your path as a software engineer? At what point in your tenure working with Linus did you decide that that was your future path? Or was it something you were always working on in the background?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe's, Joe's hanging out. It's the only way we can find things out about the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what product has the highest margins on the LTT store so I know what to buy next? Also, will you have 4 XL hoodies? T-shirts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starting with this one from Anon, it's just something light and easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, subscribe to LMG Clubs, but the comments were all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you should have had, uh, felt feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do you know at this point if Lab32 will be obtaining accreditation under a standard for their testing, uh, for credibility or anything like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mentioned Japan. I did. Matthias asks, hello from Japan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your most memorable tech experience from your visit to Japan? PS, we still use fax machines daily in the office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a quick question regarding satellite internet systems for gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here in Australia, our broadband network is terrible, especially in rural areas, and I was wondering how viable Starlink would be in terms of latency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Linus, I prefer manual screwdrivers, but my friend prefers electric ones. What made you decide to go with a manual screwdriver instead of an electric one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of it as well is like the Apple and Epic thing of the 30% commission, therefore they're overcharging because they're just adding a commission to the sale price of a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First one here is from Skyler. How do the both of you handle being interrupted while in a workflow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anon asked if we've considered having a run of left-handed screwdrivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Jet, back in the day of YouTube Originals, where you guys ever approached to start a new series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Been watching for a long time and we know a lot about you guys, but we don't really know you. What's something that we might not know about you that we really should?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how it was, the qualifiers, that we really should know. It's like born, posterior, and quiet as a kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hi Linus, what's your take on the cloud? Or are you a more on-prem kinda guy? Seems like everything's moving to the cloud and I just can't see myself giving all my data to Microsoft or Amazon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, one time during a video you had a Dale Jr. NASCAR driver. Hat on. Are you a NASCAR fan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're like just as evil as everybody else and you shouldn't be a fanboy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh guys, I have a bit of news. There's only 19 bags left in wave 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of the entire house renovation, what has been your favorite non-tech related upgrade you have done or you're going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another one here for ya. Nice! Thomas, from Australia. Hello from Down Under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thoughts on battery technology in houses and when to buy. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is kind of an interesting one. Based on a comment from last week that all major players are in the CPU and GPU markets, uh, do you think Nvidia should branch out into CPUs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in the same vein, Oliver's asking, are we going to get the, get to see an AMD CPU show like we did with the Intel Arc GPUs? I would love to see some great Team Red content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anon's asking, have you guys heard about the Half-Life 2 VR mod that will come out next month? Are either of you interested at all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The radical transparency on sales numbers is kind of fun to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How terrifying is it to have another 20,000 bags on the way waiting to sell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love the backpack and all the work you put into LMG. Something I wanted to ask both of you is, do you ever deal with imposter syndrome?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't believe so. Uh, let me check memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we got a couple more. Are you still diagnosing Dan or do you want to hit us with this? I have absolutely no idea what the issue could be. It's driving me nuts. It keeps me up at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have inputs for either of them. Mine was muted. There are no other extraneous resources. No other microphones, no other anything. The signal chain is really nice and clean. Uh, one thing that I think it might be is active, uh, one of the noise canceling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh yeaah, uh, lickswolf is asking, Hi Linus and Luke, do either of you use Windows virtual desktops at all? Uh, I always feel it's an underused workflow feature on Windows as opposed to Linux.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way to end up doing the right thing. What is the product category that bearing all expense and reason, you would love to tackle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, we should totally do, we should totally do a gold controller version of the, of the controller character from the ABCs of Gaming book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But people are still misunderstanding. I thought I explained it so clearly. Who watches their feet while driving? Nobody. Nobody's talking about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think there's anywhere around it, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, whale land tickets are live. All the actual whale tickets were gone like immediately, but you can still get bring your own computer tickets. So check it out, buy them, be there. It's going to be fun. Should be good. Um, and also people have put firearms on top of robot dogs and a lot of people are scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could have done it a lot better to be honest, they did a really bad job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh that is the wrong lore third. Yeaah. That's actually a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a custom request form, Unleash the Beast, customize yours, get your gaming PC now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This form is reserved for only the most serious customers. There's a minimum budget of five grand for these builds. Due to overwhelming requests, we charge $45 to verify the form submission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But will apply towards your build if you go forward with one. This is only to hold your place in line. Does not guarantee instant acceptance into the custom build program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause like how much would creating like a custom hardline water cooling system cost?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, looking at this site, this doesn't look like they're trying to position themselves as like a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and you want it built with like custom hardline water cooling and all this other kind of stuff. Like it's, costs are going to ramp up really quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The frost one or whatever? Yeah. That one? Yeah. Uh, let me verify frostbite official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, you click on it and it doesn't- where did it go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'm saying. So like the notes in the dock are like, Oh, so the bill fees like a thousand dollars. And it's like, okay, they have a bunch of different computers on here. But if you're getting builds that have hardline water cooling and all this other kind of stuff, like this is major. It's going to cost a lot. Project frostbite is 65 40.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to toot main gear either, but like, if I was spending that type of cash, I would want to go with a company that I knew had a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good pedigree and reputation, and main gear like, does, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have the ability to add custom paint jobs with graphics and custom themes. This will add cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had some ideas. I sent them to Linus. But I, I, there's some, I think there's some actually pretty cool things we could do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What am I gonna do in ten- not build computers all day. Well it's been- well not you. Well- The company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been 10 years so far. If, if, if it, do you think 10 years ago you would have said we'd have a lab? No. Yeah. So never say never. Dash Justin Bieber.

[Assistant] Okay, let me jump back to it. I was looking through the warranty. I think some people are, it's written oddly, but I think they have a parts and labor warranty for one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some weird stuff where you have to cover half the shipping costs and some other things and stuff. And if you live outside of the US, you don't have a warranty and blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, sorry, you have a 5900X? Yep. Okay, I also have a 5900X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So this, this is a 5,900 X with an RGX 570.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What case is yours in? Is it in like a main gear custom?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the only ON11 dynamic, not XL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know, hard light water cooling is super expensive. That's my, like, main takeaway. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can, if I can interject here, Cave Johnson on floatplane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So specking out the water cooling parts from EK's configurator brings the cost of just the hardline cooling without assembly to $1200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is an AIO. Everything here is, is kind of a prepack. I don't know if that, uh, power supply has some extensions on it to get those white cables with combs. Uhm, but that's not like- Those are not that expensive. No, and the case is handling your, your cable management, which is what actually looks really good. This is not a- Primo. If, if, I'm assuming-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg Salazar is a fantastic dude. I'm assuming what he did is accurate. So if this is a thousand bucks over, which like, it looks like it would be,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because holy crap, this should not be $2,700. Then yeah, it's way massively overpriced. I'm wondering if this has not reflected any price changes from when prices were all cranked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think their bread and butter is fine. Um, but yeah, I, I don't know. This is, this is pretty brutally priced on a percent. And I, and I'm rather certain we could shop around and find way better offers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throwing in I'm not threatening you and ending it with a heart is just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I ever have to sign a confidentiality agreement to buy a computer, it better be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're, if you're one of the computer builders, your ticket will probably come in with the customer's name on it. Like, yea, yea, I don't know, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So people in flip-lane chat are saying that that's how it works in most states, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I haven't heard of them either. That is a, that is a fairly standard tactic though, like if you are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it means adding a thousand dollars onto a, like, not very fantastic system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to stop communicating to customers or media or anyone else because you cannot handle it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This also would have like, just as a thing for anyone else watching, this honestly, as bad as it sounds, could have been very easy to handle in a relatively positive way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could talk about how, cause it seems like this, to be fair. Their whole name is Overkill Computers. They're probably not focused as a company on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mid-range computers, right? So if I was them, I would just talk about how like our, our passion and our focus as a company is the things that they're putting out there mostly. Like if you go to their gaming PCs tab, the thing right next to the giant financing word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this, is this crazy looking computer with cool water li- or hardline water tubing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks pretty overkill and is probably too hard for a lot of people to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you're like, yeah, this is our focus, sometimes we let old builds sit there and GPU prices were really expensive for a while, so things were cranked up and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And again, a lot of the details are allegedly the main thing in here is that is a very not good way to respond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turns the story around into a super positive thing, right? Like if they were just like, yeah, honestly, that's just outdated. And our focus is these like six systems, you can turn it into a showcase of your cool systems. And now there's more people talking about your store. Like you could have turned this into a major sales opportunity and growth opportunity, but instead, um, you just kind of look like a little baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I'm pretty sure I've heard talk about discord on consoles for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a note in here that makes a lot of sense, uh, or that is very interesting and I talked about Discord on, I was like, yeah, we talked about Discord on consoles. Uh, Discord walked away from a Microsoft attempt to purchase them for 10 billion dollars. Allegedly. Last year, allegedly, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think that's where I had that in my head from. So yeaah, I guess it wasn't on there previously, it's just that they wanted to buy them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to be fair, up until the last like two or three years, I probably wouldn't have considered it as a console manufacturer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? There's very little cross-platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're just playing with other Xbox people or other PlayStation people. Cross platform is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much more, a more recent thing. Um, we've been talking about it for a super long time, but it actually hitting like big popularity and actually being a thing that people are very actively doing is quite more recent. Like this critical, critical mass kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And they actually had pretty good voice chat. Like I remember voice chat back in, you can meme about what the lobbies were like. Uh, but I remember voice chat back in like, uh, Xbox 360 days was quite functional. And like, if you had the actually good headset, like it worked pretty well. Like they had their own thing going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I, I bet you in a way for some people in the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, allowing access to things that isn't their own voice chat was probably seen as like somewhat of a, a forfeiture of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But, and like, I think this is the right move, but it might not have been the most comfortable thing for some people to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like this, this might also, like if I, if I was a, a, I don't know what this job title would be, but I'm sure it's a thing. If it was like a game and community experience person at Xbox, uhm, I might be concerned about a reduction in actual voice chat activity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because there's, I'm assuming this can run in the background while you play other games, because it sort of has to. So I, I think this would increase the amount of people that would just sit in lobbies with other people, their friends.
