[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's pretty neat. Hey, look at that! Got some new shirt models. Got Madison, and Mark, and more Madison, and more me. I don't even know, I don't even know what I'm doing here, but I got my hands in my pockets. Got more Madison, got, that appears to be, who is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that James? Who wears that watch? I actually don't know. Hey, you got A prime?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so if you're into that kind of style, this is gonna be one of the last black shirts we launch. We finally seem to have locked in a shirt supplier that meets both our supply and, uh, not both, our supply, quality, and, uh, factory conditions, uh, requirements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm really, really excited, but it'll be like, with the way shipping is worldwide right now, either we'll be paying like thousands and thousands of dollars extra for air shipping, or it'll be a very, very long time. Uh, mousepad restock is now delayed at least two weeks because there were COVID exposures at the port.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we ship from that factory with. Uh, so the, the container has just been sitting there for like two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, actually, there's one other bit of news for LTT Store that's only like, not really product related at all. Uhm, this has been a big project for, well actually this particular thing I don't think has been a big project, but this has been a project that the Floatplane team has worked on. We now have reviews!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that. So, if you've bought something before, you should be able to leave a verified review, and we really do want your feedback, guys, so please feel free, leave, uh, leave reviews, let us know what you think. Hey, good stuff. Finally got reviews. Whoo! Success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, our next topic is, is Intel really stretching the definition of what a nook is at this point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original source is Tom's Hardware here. And do you remember when Intel first announced the Nook original announcement? Let's go find that. What is that? Wow, I don't even know if we're gonna be able to find anything that old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did it look like an evil toaster back then? I don't think so. Okay, next unit of computing. Nobody uses that terminology anymore, so maybe that'll bring up older articles. That's a good call. 2012, here it is. Review, Intel's next unit of computing from the tech report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a nook. Okay? And the whole idea, the reason they called it the next unit of computing was that it was supposed to be super small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But still have desktop-like performance, rather than being limited by the performance of, hey look, it's Scott Wasson's hand, uh, rather than being limited by the performance of then low-power CPUs like their Atom lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a USB port for scale. This is the- what is this, the Beast Canyon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, pretty much the same- Okay, hey, hey, speaking of, uh, speaking of my fellow former members of the tech press, there's a Ryan Shroud holding a Beast Canyon nook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's go back. This is a Scott Wasson holding a nook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And this is a Ryan Shroud holding a doon nook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't know if it's really a nuke anymore, but it definitely supports discrete graphics, cards up to 12 inches long, uhm, it uses Intel's Compute Element Platform, which takes, we've actually reviewed a product that uses it already, I forget what exactly that one was called, it kinda doesn't matter, cause I, I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine too many people bought them. Ah, the NUC9 Extreme, that was the one. So it uses Intel's Compute Element Platform, which takes the CPU, RAM, storage, all that stuff, and actually was storage on it? I don't think it was on it. Uh, but CPU RAM for sure, and kind of, you plunk it in, it's got the cooler all built in as a single module, and you could, like, it plugs into kind of like a PCI Express slot type thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's equipped with H-series Intel chips instead of U-series, which is neat. Uh, so the Phantom Canyon Nook, which was legitimately actually small, but uhm, had more limited performance, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the thing is, you can, okay, okay, you can make the argument that, well, yeaah, but the low-key ghost is really expensive, uhm, that's true, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your, your defense of the Beast Canyon in that case would kind of fall apart a little bit. Now, I don't know if there are too many system integrators that are actually building pre-built systems in the Loki Ghost, and that's an advantage that the Beast Canyon will have, is if you're, uh, if you're an SI and you're looking to pump these things out, it is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not that easy building a DIY computer in an 8-liter chassis. That's not something that's just for, you know, even your average technician to do at scale and not make mistakes, right? Or not have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spend a lot of time, like, oh, you know, shoot, now I get it. Now, oh, we've got a DOA piece of hardware, now I have to spend...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An hour and a half taking this thing apart, another half an hour putting it back together. So, from like a business standpoint, I can understand that offering pre-builds in a low-key Ghost S1 is not necessarily the best idea, but for the DIY community, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a tough, it's a tough argument, but there is, there are customers out there for it. I remember having this conversation with whoever the writer was for our most recent Nook review where they basically went, okay, yeah, I wrote it in the context of I thought it was, I thought the customer was like this person. I'm like, what do you mean you thought? Go find out who the customer is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't actually know who the customer is, how can you possibly write the review tailored to the people who should actually care about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, well, how do I do that? I'm like, well, you go and you look at the previous generation product and you read customer reviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You find out what the people who actually bought this thing liked about it, disliked about it. Obviously you have to filter it because there's gonna be a lot of fake reviews in there. And then you address those concerns. If people are saying, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, this one runs way too hot. Well then we need to investigate that. We need to look at the new one. Does it run cooler? If they say the performance was really good, we need to investigate that too. Have they made compromises to the performance? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe sometimes we take that approach to a fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like with the 3080 Ti review, where we, we reviewed it in the context of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was shopping for a graphics card in that price point, I bought it, I'm thrilled. Like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then maybe we should, I don't know, like, well sometimes I don't know what to do, you guys. You know, should we tailor our reviews to the largest audience possible? Should we tailor our reviews to the people who are legitimately looking to buy the thing? Should we tailor our reviews to just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tech interested, the enthusiasts that are our kin, you know, I don't know because you end up writing a surprisingly different video from all those different perspectives and we can't do all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, now I'm just kinda, now I'm just kinda chatting at you guys. Uhm, we have, we have a couple more headline topics. Uh, Luke, do you wanna talk us through Huawei going their own way? Haha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, this is nuts. Hold on, I'm bringing this up. So, a two-day background check. Uhm, and here's Harmony OS. Yup, that looks very different from Android.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is awesome. I'm gonna go read this as soon as the show is over. Anyway, the point is, uhm, yeaah, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in other news, the leaked CD Projekt Red data has been made public? Question mark?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, they claim they have the passwords for the other archives, so they say they're the ones who password protected them, but they want a $10,000 donation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I say stuff like this and I will actually get unironic, angry emails asking why I'm promoting, you know, buying stolen goods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not. Please. Please. No, it's verbal irony. Please. Uhm, so yea, verbal irony means you say one thing and you mean the opposite thing. So I will give you the straightforward version now. Do not buy this. It is a bad idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a bad idea for me to carry on the show because I think that's pretty much it. Oh wait, super chats! Super chats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did we get so many super chats today? Why are you guys so into this? Uh, tuner builder asks, will the 3080ti be coming to the verified actual gamer program? We do have one partner that has managed to get us some 3080ti allocation. Yes. So, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Don't buy it or do buy it. It doesn't matter. It's up to you. I don't care. The performance graphs are what they are and the price is what it is. You do the math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that better? Is that what you guys want? Uh, Jason says, first time watching the WAN Show live. Thanks, Linus. You were the gateway into me being crazy excited about tech. Take my money. Hey, thanks, Jason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Adam says, I don't think so. I think that the days of headphone jacks and iris scanners and whatever are pretty much


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Done. Now I can't tell if this message was sent to me because it's news for the WAN show, but I'm gonna assume no. I'm gonna ask though. Sorry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, cool. Uh, I think that this person who messaged me might not have realized that I am live right now, so I'm not gonna talk about that unless they confirm. Uh, the SLK66 says, agreed, but they shouldn't claim they're trying to help gamers at all. Just saying, hey, we want money, deal with it. Yeah, 100%. But they also never claimed to be helping value gamers. They're helping the very, very top end,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, and for the rest of us, we can at least, like, enjoy the computer porn of all this high-end stuff, right? Like it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a reason that we get a lot more views on a review of a high end product than we do of a low end product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jack Philpott, really great question. Hey Linus, I was wondering who was the writer for the Wish PC video? I was bored at work and I just rewatched it but their voice was altered because they were on probation. It would be cool to know it was Colin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go for it, the world kinda needs more doctors right now, so, rock it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Alex Young. Hey Linus and Luke. Thanks for teaching, uh, board radar tech on night shift everything I need to know to build my Ryzen 9 and 3090 snow blind rig. Hey. Thanks Alex. Happy to help out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the problem is that Brazil has enormous import tariffs. So we would have no problem shipping it there, but you would be on the hook for tariffs. So don't imagine that the price you see on our store is the price you'll end up paying. If you don't like it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing we can do about it. The issue is with your government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the reality of it was though is that a 3080 Ti was never going to be that. So we reviewed the 3080 Ti as a 3080 Ti, but I think that's a really good point that we could have brought up is, yeah sure, but where is a 3050? Yep, that's a really, really, really good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really, I actually just totally don't really get that. If they're in 3D art, then yeah sure, go 3090 because you need that VRAM. Uh, but I don't really see how the 3080 figures into it at all, especially because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't actually get it for the MSRP, so, uh, the difference in price between the 3080 and the 3080Ti is only a theoretical difference in price the way that most people are talking about it. It's not real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Sten, Serbin says, does MSRP matter for AMD? Uh, they have exactly the same pressures on them. Uhm, like their, their cards are also like, okay, sure. So the MSRP, here, let's play a little game. Let's play a little game called, buy the RX, uhm, hold on a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the MSRP for this card is 999 US dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's not what they cost. And even at these prices, they're not in stock. You gotta go all the way up to $2700 to actually add one to your cart. Am I happy about this? Is this good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but in the context of that pricing for the 6900 XT, the, uh, 3080 Ti looks pretty good. What do you guys want from me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, Jesse says, haha, my Gigabyte Eagle 3080 Ti doesn't fit in my case. Anyone have a Founder's Edition to trade me? This is really not the right place for that message, Jesse. Good luck though. Oh man, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, I don't think it is. They took their top end part, they replaced it with a different top end part that is cheaper. So, yeaah, we, you know, we already said the 3090 is not a great deal, but in the context of the current market, the 3080 Ti is looking pretty good. I, I didn't make the rules for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dima says, as a lifelong Apple fanboy, I hate that your criticism of Apple is always so accurate. Thanks I guess?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My criticism of Apple comes from a place of love, not necessarily for Apple directly, but for tech. And the issue that I have with Apple is that they so often set trends that are blindly followed by the rest of the tech industry that I have to be upset when they do something because it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the time where my criticism for Apple comes from and then the other part of the time it comes from their complete and utter arrogance and disdain for the demands of their users. Like, you know, something as simple as, you know, we actually shot our review of the new iPad Pro today and it's just this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing. Just unbelievable piece of hardware. Like, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it doesn't have a progress bar on network file transfers because f*** you. You know? Like it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The conscious decisions that Apple makes to not make their products compete with each other or not make them too good for the users, I just, because it violates some arbitrary philosophical up their own butt nonsense, like I just, I can't, I just have such a hard time with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a long time ago. That's funny though, but yea. Uh, Steve says, Hopefully I don't break my only graphics card. That would be really bad. That would be such a shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Louis says, uh, Best Buy did an in-store only launch. I could afford it, so I bought a 3080 Ti. I was ready to pay that price for a 3080 anyway. People have been annoying, but I'm happy with my card. Thanks for saying this. There, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go, you might not be Lewis, but Lewis is out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Nick says, however you see it, AIB cards at crazy markups versus MSRP is a PR problem. 100%. NVIDIA could cap AIB prices and price appropriately to protect their image. Yeah, but that would cost NVIDIA their sweet, sweet margin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you have to do is look at Nvidia's earnings, their public company, to see how much more profit they make compared to their partners on their products. Oh boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, man, there's, wow, there's so many super chats today. Nope says, I've never seen a YouTube channel like LTT. It's been awesome to see you guys grow as a company. Uh, keep it up. You're truly poggers. Hey, thanks so much. I think poggers is a good thing. Uh, Melody says, yeaah. I thought it was refreshing to see different tech influencers bringing different perspectives to the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really appreciate how your take wasn't the easy slam video it could have been. Nuance and diversity of opinion is a good thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, we could have just slammed it, we could have just said it's expensive, it's bad. Uh, but not everything that's expensive is inherently bad and you have to review everything within the context of the current...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Chai says, hey, if you're still looking for motorcycle airbags, you should look into the Helite Turtle. It doesn't have a subscription service, its action is mechanical and it inflates with a replaceable CO2 cylinder. That sounds awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Sean D says, the only difference between a 3080 and a 3080Ti is a GA102 with more passing SMs, two additional 1GB GDDR6 chips, the rest is the same card. It costs them $30 more to make than 3080, but they charge $500 more. Guess what? That ain't new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference between an extreme edition CPU back in the day and the $400 cheapo one was a little bit more cash that was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean D, it's time, it's time to take the red pill, man. It's time to take the red pill, cause, uh, every, every, everything is, it's all the same, it's all made of sand. It's all made of sand. Sorry. It's just sand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what to spend my survey rewards on. Hold on a second, is there a way to like, is there a way to like go to this user's profile? Is it actually that one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so thanks for tuning into the WAN Show. We will see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel. Hope you guys enjoyed the show today. I, I, I had fun. I had fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I 100% did, but okay, uh, V7 fake profile AI detector, uh, actually sounds like it could be cool, deep fakes are, are, are picking up pretty heavily lately, there's been some really crazy ones, and this should be able to detect them, which is very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it? I thought the, okay, so Linus wants to shout out Ukraine selling Invasion Timeline NFTs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would also like to say that it's, it's cool that this legislation is applying to what they're calling gatekeeper companies that have a value of over 75 billion euros on annual sales of 7.5 billion euros and 45 million monthly users, uh, and, and platforms?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just dropping it there floating is a little interesting. But basically it seems like they're just trying to target actual big dog players. Yes. Which is, which is kind of nice. Cause some of these, I think they shoot a little too low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into companies that are still extremely in the small business range and then it's like kind of rough for them to deal with it sometimes. Uhm, but companies at that size, of course, they can absorb basically whatever. So yeaah, sweet, try to make the world better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time we talk about it, some people come out of the woodwork and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. It's just an easy example because there was that leak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compatibly with each other. There's gonna be some weird stuff, like, uh, Apple has that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To what degree they have to be interoperable. Because you could send a message, but then have certain features not necessarily work. Because I'm sure live streaming to someone from a Discord chat to a iMessage chat would probably be pretty complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, and, and like potentially sending an Animoji the other way efficiently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Might be kind of annoying or complicated or whatever as well. But you could send text messages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the bulk of both of those platforms anyways. So like, does that count as interoperability? They're technically working together, just not full features. Uhm, I think that would be fine, personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder, so this is, this isn't just applying to phones, right? So this would apply to Windows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, me neither. And why is it just businesses?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because I believe there's a certain amount of like, you can request.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've essentially bought advertisement through Facebook, like you said, and I know there's been purchase advertisement outside of that, I believe. And a big part of your business is creating content that gets ads on it. Do you think this will help? Because we've been talking for a long time about how YouTube has always been in this weird space where traditional advertisers are like, podcasts? Yeah, podcasts are great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then YouTube has just been like weird. They don't really want to sponsor YouTube for some reason. Do you think this might help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. Uhm, so I shouldn't have been so specific about YouTube because you guys make content on Instagram and Tik Tok. Oh yeah, I guess we do. Facebook and everything else. Do you think it would help though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No more self-preferencing, so Google can't put shopping service at the top of each search results. I don't think they do that too much these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they shouldn't do it at all. They definitely sell a lot of search results. Way more than I feel like they did in the past. I've started shifting to DuckDuckGo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less efficient, genuinely. Like, I'm not necessarily switching there for privacy reasons or whatever else, which is great, and I'm happy that they have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm switching because it's literally faster because the Google results are just, yeah, it's an entire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember what part it was, but I, I do believe I remember this. I don't know. There's been a lot of WAN Show topics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is good, because so many times when something happens at one of these companies, they get the most minute slap on a wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they like genuinely don't care about. It reminds me of when like people shower some like super hyper rich person in praise for donating money to something. And then they do a calculation and they're like, Oh, if they have an average income, this was like literally $8. And it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. It's like, it feels like that. It's like, oh, they got- Oh my goodness, Facebook got fined for a million dollars. It's like, yeaah, Facebook doesn't care. It's like, you gotta hit them harder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Like, you gotta, you gotta get harder than that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is good. This might mean it's actually enforced. Cause a lot of things are just ignored because the, it's, it's more convenient and sometimes literally cheaper to just pay the fee. And that's stupid. So I'm happy it's expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wording of legislation is yet to be finalized. There was a few things in here that felt a little vague, so that probably makes sense. Uh, it will be approved by the European Union, Parliament and Council, uh, later, I guess. If passed, it would go into effect in October.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of my particular context, uh, being able to use like outside, uh, payment stuff in app stores is pretty huge. Because that's big for floatplane in particular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, other than the end platforms quote, which we're still a little bit unsure about, this is applying to companies with a value of over 75 billion euros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not applying to the average person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If farmers allowed to fix their own tractors, which they've been doing forever and are extremely good at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things I've always found interesting in that space is the mixture of kind of old and new tech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they'll take like old school non-computerized, like this is, this is like how the world works style, like physics tech, which farmers have been using forever. And they'll mix it with like monitoring softwares and all this type of stuff. And it's just, it's so cool. I don't know. I think it's awesome. Really smart stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's some comments about the, while you think about that, there's some comments about the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be able to use our own payment processor thing. My ideal way to do it and actually how we mapped it out originally when we decided to make apps for Flowplain was to have Apple Pay and Google Pay be a part of the payment processor suite in the app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because to be completely honest, it's just extremely easy to use them. And some people would rather take the ease of use of being able to press essentially one button and just have it work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it's going to be more expensive. Cause they are REALLY expensive. They are SO expensive that we would literally make nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's been some saying that it is allowed and then we do it and then we get taken off the store and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get back up and then they call us and they're like, Hey, but you're allowed to do it. And I'm like, Hey, but we did it and you blocked us and we ended up in this infinite cycle forever. So not really. It doesn't really work, at least not for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, I don't know, being officially allowed and have it be enforced by the EU would be cool, because then we could have both options on the store, and one is just gonna be a little bit more expensive. And we're not even gonna scale it up, we're only gonna scale it up by exactly the amount of difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it costs us for us to use that service. That's it. We're not going to try to profit more off of those things. Um, but it does cost us more to use them. So it'll cost users more to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quick clarification, someone asked, when you talk about Apple Pay and Google Pay, you mean purchases through the App Store and Google Play Store, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that is what I mean is purchases through the store. I, I, I understand there's, you can use whatever. But yes, I'm talking about through the store. They have specific pricing for that. Uhm, also someone pointed out like Twitch has higher pricing on their app than on their website. It's like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I try to appeal it, I am not allowed to use examples of other apps that do it the other way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is speci- I'm specifically not allowed. When, when they called me, I brought it up, cause I'm like, I have you on the phone, so I can say whatever I want. And I listed like a bunch of different apps that do it the right way, and they're like, well, we'll look into that. And I'm like, to be clear, I'm not trying to get them in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just clearly a double standard. Giant billion dollar company can do what they want, and we can't. Yet again. Problem. Annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what to tell you. I would probably more strongly consider moving off of pixels if that was a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. Cause that's been my biggest, I hate that stuff and that's pushed me away from using other phones a lot. Uh, Conrad mentioned in Twitch chat, uh, Twitch subscribe is $5 Canadian on desktop and it's $7.90 Canadian on mobile. That's the type of scale we're talking about. The app payments are rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steelyboy in flowplain chat says, what about online retailers that charge a service fee for using a new payment method, i.e. adding a new card. I've literally never heard of that. I have never heard of that before. I don't even know if that's a thing. I've never, how'd that even work? Anyways. Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft and Okta. I've never actually tried to pronounce that out loud before, so I'm going to say Okta. Hacked by Lapsys. Some arrests have been made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was no breach of the company's service. It was through a support engineer's laptop. They got limited access to data. Lapsys disagrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they're claiming that the, that Okta is downplaying the severity of the breach, which in this scenario could be really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're saying that they were able to log into a super user portal with the ability to reset the password, um, and multi factor authentication of roughly 95% of clients, um. Oh, that's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cloudflare CEO Matthew Price has stated that they are aware of the compromise and will be, or sorry, that they are aware of the, yea, compromise. And they will be resetting Okta credentials of employees who have changed passwords in the last four months. Uh, we don't use this at any of the things, just so you know. Uhm, yea, it's good to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, on Monday, Lapsys posted a BitTorrent link to an archive reportedly containing a source code for Bing, Bing Maps, and Cortana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, Bleeping Computer reported that there are 37 gigabytes of source code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft says, we are aware of the claims and investigating, which is very non-committal, but that is what it is. That's what it's gonna be. On Thursday, it was reported that seven suspects aged- so this was the part you were surprised about? Yea, I was surprised. I am not at all. Okay, fine, fine. On Thursday, it was reported that seven suspects aged 16 to 21- 16!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. Uh, they were arrested in London and later released while the investigation continues. That's why I said the sort of part. They have been released at this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the main notable character is a 16 year old from Oxford, the online tag being white or breach base, uh, who has allegedly accumulated over 300 BTC through hacking activities such as sim swapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were hacked twice apparently, and gambled a bunch, losing most of it. They were ousted apparently by rival hackers who posted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lapses has stated that they might be quiet for a while as some members are going on vacation until the end of the month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vacation, you say. In a party van.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're on quite a terror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember anything like it. This is pretty legendary. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna lie. Okay, don't glorify it. Legendary doesn't mean good, just like how great doesn't mean good. It's a scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't mean, by that I don't mean good, but the, the, the, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impact is very large. They're, they're hitting many things and they're hitting them very hard. They're hacking many Gibsons. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Needed something like this and I hope competitors crop up and I hope it becomes a big thing because like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. That's cool. They don't, to be fair, these accounts don't only use AI generated profile photos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that could very easily end up being a feature of this service or a competing service in the future. Where they go, hey, this photo is used by this many other profiles. These other profiles uploaded it first. Maybe take a glance at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've done this before and it's, it's kind of stunning. I mean, happy graduation, right? When I, when I first heard about this, I was just like, there's, there's no way. And I did a bunch of reverse image searches on like a ton of them. Cause I was like, they gotta just be scraping this from somewhere. But yeah, they're generated. It's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kay, you know what would- I'm assuming that's what's happening. What would she think of this, okay? Wait, we just got the same one. What? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like V7 or any potential competitors would just fold at that time though. It becomes an arms race at that point. And so far it's mostly been an arms race with one side. And now there's two sides, which is good. That's about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, apparently the page has overload protection and we, we absolutely hit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I genuinely didn't see that coming. I was trying to beat you to it. I loaded up the store and saw it on the store. Oh, that's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very absorbent. When you do your, uh, your hot tub stream, you'll have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So two things, just in case you're like me and didn't know what greenwashing was. Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression and providing misleading information about how a company's products are more environmentally sound. Second question, to be combative, why are those in plastic bags? That's actually a good question. Why are these in plastic bags?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause someone, I think it was Jake, brought that up when those were first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those might even be the first demo samples and maybe their packaging is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If those were the same samples we had when we first showed them off forever ago, then that's how they were originally handed to us. And it was said that they were still working on the packaging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if you want to send in a merch message, you have to have over 5,000 followers on all socials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one gets to see my floor time. I have floor time these days. Do you have floor time? It's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you threw not that screwdriver in it and the bit like fell out or something. Yeah. Being able to get it would be nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what he's talking about in regards to the notification, uh, we, we put up, I believe it was last week, uh, two pages, one for backpack, one for screwdriver and their way that you can sign up for a direct direct notification, email notification, um, when those products are finally available for purchase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should we do like a straw poll to ask people, like if you sign up for the notification, do you intend to buy or are you disinterested?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh jeez. Right? Commercial landscape in BC is like horrifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or three offices, rather, store two containers worth there. How many containers was it? Twenty-seven? Yeah, twenty-seven. It's not two!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Global shipping right now is nuts! I'm married! I don't wa-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, uh, I went to go, cause I was like, yeaah, it's not cheap, but like, I know of ratcheting screwdrivers that are more expensive. So I went to go google snap on ratcheting screwdriver, and it autofilled orange. Oh really? I'm assuming cause we're here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do have other colors but orange is the default. Okay, that's probably it then. That's funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm really excited about it. Speaking of, uh, money and money problems and all that kind of stuff, we're hiring! We're hiring more people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go along with labs, there's going to be a website, and that website is going to do cool stuff, and look cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I need someone who's going to make a lot of the stuff that is going to do cool stuff. And I need someone who's going to make a lot of the stuff that's going to like look cool and also has function. I need a front end and a backend developer, uh, JavaScript based.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're still kind of figuring out exactly how we want to do certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't necessarily know the best way to get this out to you guys, but I'm going to put it in the various chats. And if we could put it under the video for people that are watching on YouTube and stuff, that would be fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's two different Google Forms, just sign up for the Google Form and you're good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both of these positions can be worked remote, uhm, but there is a strong preference for Canadians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the, that is the main thing. Local would also be great, uh, but Canadian is the main goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not logged in on this computer. So, uh, yeah, I'll fix that later. Just look in the description under the video. Uh, it will be fixed tonight. So, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is mean stack and JavaScript based. It's, but we do a lot of different things. So, oh my goodness. Um, yeah, I think that's the, the best way to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, not with a really tiny rad either. Nope. Like, it's gonna have to be a pretty serious setup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, just as an update on the forums, I tried to like open the applications on my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no control over the phone, over the form through my phone, so I'm gonna have to do it when I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Launch price of a 3070 Ti was $599, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got you to build a computer ASK for higher than an i7 equivalent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, yeaah, that's all, whatever. I just, uhm, yeaah, these are not, they're not released. I was wondering, like, what the theme was and it looks like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, maybe not all of them, or I'm not sure if some of these aren't actually complete. Uhm, but it looks like most of them are framed around a tweet. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I mean, I told you like there when they, when they sent out information on like these, these, these are like Bitcoin, Ethereum, whatever wallet links, they're, they're like keys. A bunch of people when, when people were asking like, Hey, does someone have the, the, the address? We're sending the wrong one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously their own to try to scrape money. So like it's literally already happened in an extremely related way and I'm sure it will happen this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said 42 seconds and 7 minutes and 28 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The voice acting is so interesting to me, but I absolutely do not think I have a good voice for it. I think Riley absolutely does. Oh, he's, he's great. The like second I loaded up the trailer and I heard his voice, I was like, yup, it's perfect. Yup. This is great. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's it for that though. I think it's PSVR exclusive, which is kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's just the video that was linked is specifically a PSVR one. Got it, got it, got it. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought you meant like the selector. No, that's the selector ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it a surface that could be painted without it just like coming off on your hands all the time? You'd never touch it, but it would chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, this is a tough one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're gonna try to fix it, do whatever you can to keep that oil off of parts that aren't gonna go back into that machine. Cause it can take an excessively long time to actually have them not be oily. Yeah, it's basically impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, remote support is the main...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dang. It's tough. One thing I would recommend as well is try to get remote support that you can log into without their assistance. Yeaah. Because you might have things like, uh, the monitor's not plugged in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because if it comes down to it, and I've done this multiple times, they can do the face call and then just point the phone at the computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fix things that way before, it's definitely operable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that's about it. You could do a nine night executable of most of their programs and just get them to like run it every once in a while because that'll update everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He worked out of a garage. We were a scrappy company. I literally lived in his house. It's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna decide that I'm gonna put myself in the age that I was at that time. Sure. And then also say Super Nintendo, yeah. Alright. At that time, we had like computers and stuff, but the Super Nintendo was very accessible and couch gaming was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally a thing. Oh yea. And like gaming with the family, gaming with the neighbors, etc. And Super Nintendo was just sweet for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] N64 is a good answer. The reason why I didn't say N64, because I loved it as well, is by that time I had started getting much more into computers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the, I think the SNES had more of an impact on me at that time. I'm also older, so maybe that's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna say the actual expected time, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, uh, my place is so small that it's honestly just not a big deal. It's like probably just as much time to just like get up and press the switch as it is to go on my phone and do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I sent notes months ago talking about how there's a dip during the intro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda sucks because it's been a staple for so long, but like, you gotta...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a point in time in the video right now that is extremely important as far as YouTube is concerned for retention and not skipping forward and all this other type of stuff. So you gotta play for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its effect on adults is like, intense and overpowering for a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The doom scrolling for days thing is like actually a real thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I haven't seen the piano, I'm just, I'm commenting on the, on the gaming. Uhm. But that's cool, cause that's like kinda gamified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like as a kid that feels less restrictive even though it's a restriction of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So... So your answer might end up being whatever one you can if it's something you want that bad. Uhm, because then, like, I still don't have my email and I think I ordered pretty early for this team deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, did I say email? I don't know if I said order or email, but yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, yeah, maybe we don't play the most normal games a lot of the time, but like, who does? Literally almost nothing that we play works on the Steam Deck, because we mostly play Halo, Anno,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if I was an average consumer and I was buying one, it would probably be Steam Deck just purely because of price. Because the INEO pushes into a price range that's pretty intense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can absolutely see people doing it. I think it's just very specific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm at 15 minutes order time and I'm hoping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think you should not take everything that was just typed at exact value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, should we take a, should we take a break from merch message questions and you should, should you show me the thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels pretty nice. It's leather. Real leather. I gotta not show that, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would not assume that it was necessary. There's like only one part that feels a little handmade-y and it's that one card slot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of our, one of our employees is trying to get his, uh, his, uh, certification to be able to fly a flow plane. Uh, yeah. Okay. That's super cool. So, so, uh, I think he's watching too. So that's, that's the current, you know, developmental path. We're going to move into actual flow planes. Um, no, I, uh, we're, we're trying to make the platform better and we're making more stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should I talk about the thing? Have I talked about the thing before? I think I have. Yeah, just talk about everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're working on, uh, something that the internal name is Float Plane as a Service. Fast. Fast. We wanna go fast! We'll probably come up with a cooler name than that because as a service is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little not trendy right now. But the idea is we've, we've had a lot of people reach out to us and be like, Hey, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to do the same thing as you, sort of. Like I would like to have my own platform. I don't necessarily want to join yours. I don't necessarily want to join any. I would just like to have my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we thought like, okay, that's pretty fair, cause that's why we made our own too. Uhm, so we're trying to take the tools, and the, the, the, I guess just the powerful tools that we have made for Flowplain. Uhm, and- They're like super baller actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're, we're trying to make it so that other people can have their own sites so they don't have to be on Floatplane. And then we would just offer both. Creators could just join Floatplane, or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can make their own thing that you guys can join and it's, it's their own stuff, but we manage the backend. We, we, we make sure it all, all runs nice and good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, someone asked any comments about the Vimeo drama. I've been tweeted about this too, and my answer every time is just, yeah, it's expensive. Yeah. If, if, if watching a stream or a video is not expensive,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you're either paying for it in some other way or you are the product. It's, it's one of those things because it is just not a cheap thing to do. Uhm, and it's been delivered cheaply to a lot of people for a long time by a very small amount of extremely large companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that are making money in other ways. And that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little shout out reminder that I will fix those forms, uh, let's try to get them in the description. I will, I will fix them right when I get home. So. Yeah. Please apply. We need peeps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Waiting for Linus Tech Tips, December 6th, 5.20pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, hey, we should start the show, we're both here, thumbnail's done, title's done, and then Luke was like... Not exactly how it went down. Ah, it's basically how it went down, he was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at all these people that are signing up for Float Plane! I wanna tell you all about them! And I talk to them, and they think it's really cool, and they wanna join, and there's actually one that's already done a video about going live on Float Plane, and for privacy reasons, I can't say how many people subscribed already, but I can say the word already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I can say already. Yep. Instead of something like, so far. Yep. Right? Yep. I'm giving no information. Yeah. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is definitely not, you know, LTT related or anything. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, you know what? We're just gonna promote. Am I gonna get demonetized?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just for promoting a channel that gets demonetized all the time. Okay, I'm gonna pause it, I'm gonna pause it, I'm gonna pause it. Not playing any videos. So Forgotten Weapons has been around for a long time and has struggled in some of the main ways that weapons channels do. And look at this! Look at this, look at this video! All plain! Huh! How about that? Neat! Actually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why anyone should care, and uh, what's really cool is that his audience didn't flip out over it, and in fact, seemed to mostly just think it was awesome that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was getting involved with us, so that's, that's pretty encouraging. Yeaah, absolutely. Yeaah, that's freakin' awesome. So, yeaah, massive, massive shout out, and uh, hopefully we'll be able to tell you guys about some of the other people that are planning to go live, but we can't really say anything until they've said something, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, we've got a great show for you guys today. We're gonna be talking about Intel's reveal of their DG-1 graphics card. They actually did show hardware. Yep. Right? Yep. So that's positive. Oops, oops. There we go. Uhm, we've also, oh, we're gonna discuss Sony building their own car. So that's pretty cool. What else we got on the docket for today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm so upset about that. 100%, 100% we can talk about it. That's ridiculous. 100% we can talk about it. Ugh. Uh, we've also got Dell showing off their Windows-based Switch competitor, the Alienware Concept UFO. So that's pretty exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you might like this, Cherry updates their MX switches to now be rated for 100 million actuations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is cool, uhm. And totally irrelevant. The amount that most people type. Yeaah. They would never even get close to 50 million, let alone 100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is an amazing name for like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if they're cherry. It's not the switches. I mean, okay, we can talk about it a little bit more later. First we gotta roll the intro. And I'm gonna do that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, how to build a budget PC that runs 144 frames on Fortnite? Did someone ask that in YouTube chat? That's the easiest thing ever, because as long as you don't have to run 144 frames per second, any computer will eventually run 144 frames. What else we got here, boys and girls?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could anybody recommend secret labs chair? I have no idea what you're talking about and neither does anybody else because it's a secret. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else we got? I love this. Let's do some more Q&A. Yeaah. The only way to find out for sure is to take that monitor, put it right there in front of your keyboard and see how well it plays those games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you overclock? Hold on. Oh, this is great. Franco says, can you overclock a Ryzen 7 2600 with a B450 MOBO? I can't. I don't have one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vico says Luke is sabotaging the land show. He might be, but that's not what this show's called. I don't run the land show, so I don't consider that to be a significant problem. Hey, perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, how do I get XLR power supply cables? Dear God, you don't! Please do not plug an XLR cable and the other end of XLR into a power supply and then anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure the only one PSU was ever made with them and I can't find any. XLR power supply ca- okay, now I'm curious. Now we've gone off the rails, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what I would probably search for, okay, you're getting a free tech tip right now. I'm charging you absolutely nothing for this tech tip. You're welcome, ladies and gentlemen. No cost tech tip. Is, I would look for electric skateboard charge cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, we've got a bunch of- what, what, really? Hmm, okay. Hold on, let's try something else, let's try something else, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well part of the issue is that a lot of the time they're not like male to female or male to male. They're like, uh, like hard, soldered at one end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that worked a lot better. Electric scooter charging cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's honestly probably what I would end up doing, just like, you just strip the existing cable. Yeah. And then you put it together, you make sure that the thing is wired up right, you check the wiring diagram from the manual of your device, uhm, and then you use a multimeter, make sure you actually did it right, do a sanity check, and then you wrap the whole thing in an electrician's tape. Or you do it properly, shrink wrap. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, basically. So, uh, alright, why don't we jump into our first topic today then? You lead the conversation because I don't have my notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To not cut Luke off anymore and not keep talking over you when you're just trying to get a word in edgewise. That I feel is really important to our audience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't really given us any specs to speak of. No, but Steve from GamersNexus is hillarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, so could, I bet Nvidia could build something 960M tier that is PCIe bus powered at this point. Sure, yep. Without much difficulty whatsoever. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the funny thing about the, or not funny thing, the lame thing about this is like, you don't know what you can and can't believe, right? Cause I've seen posts on like Reddit and Twitter, people being like, yeah, I'm like, I'm at Intel and I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait for when, you know, the world's gonna see this, and like, I'm sitting here going...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can't, you can't optimize a motorcycle into, uh, an 18 wheeler. You know? Like it doesn't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but Intel knows enough about building a GPU driver at this point that here's, okay, here's my counter argument to that. We've heard this time and time again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three months, six months, nine months before release. I mean, Tom's hardware has this spectacular running record of almost every new Intel CPU. Actually, I don't know if they've done it lately, but going back a while ago, so you know, like three, four to ten years ago,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had reviews, like nearly full reviews up of Intel CPUs months prior to launch. And they would always, it was always early silicon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was always early BIOSes, obviously, because you probably still remember. Even when you're a couple days from launch, you can still be getting BIOSes that'll change the performance by single, sometimes even double digits in certain edge cases. And they would always have these-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so they would always have these disclaimers in these reviews that go, well, remember, these performance numbers were run on pre-production hardware with pre-production bios, so, you know, don't take it seriously, and the comments would be full of, I don't even know why they bothered to publish this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's gonna be, it's gonna be way better, it's gonna be way better. It was never once dramatically better. Yeah. Not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be to the standard that someone else would already be shipping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Intel. The fact that they have it sitting there running at all means that it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, oh, I'd be surprised if we don't see hardware at Computex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be very surprised if we don't see hardware at Computex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just for fun, we're gonna go, we're gonna, we're gonna find, uh, you know, let's, uh, Titan, Titan graphics card, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. Titan graphics card. Here's some release highlights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, okay. Any additional information? Nope. I wanna pick a more mainline. Uh, yeaah, I mean it's usually the same release notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, my, the point that I'm trying to make here, guys, is how much of a performance improvement you typically expect to see from one driver release to another. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, uh, here, let's have a look at this one. Uh, control F percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we got, we got nothing specific there. Oh, is it really gonna redo this search every time? I hate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate that so much. Now I have to, I have to right click and oh, and I hate this too. This triggers me so much when right, the right click behavior is altered so you can't open it in a new tab easily. It drives me absolutely bonkers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, no, okay. Well, whatever. The point is, occasionally, Nvidia will release a driver that's like, yeah, we've got a 7% improvement here, a 20% improvement there. I'm expecting that, title by title. But, the other thing you've gotta bear in mind is that if Fintel is showing Destiny 2,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if that's what they decided to show, they didn't pick a worst case scenario!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15% improvement here, 20% improvement there. On 1080 low. That ain't, that ain't necessarily coming on Destiny 2. Uh, I'd love to be wrong about this. I would love to be proven wrong about this, but I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Intel's discreet graphics is basically gonna turn out to be their integrated graphics on ROIDs and it's gonna be great in ten years. Uhm. It's a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every console refresh brings with it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Intel is, is gonna be way behind, way behind because the game's coming for that console refresh in their


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Intel is already looking like they're gonna be barely competitive with a last gen mid-tier card, and we've got another generation of Nvidia cards that will probably have launched by that time as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so they're already behind the 8-Ball today. They're gonna be even more behind the 8-Ball once another generation of hardware hits us from Nvidia. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't see it, I don't see it being relevant until they've had quite a lot of time to iterate if what they're targeting is this power efficient mobile gaming type of solution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this other definition seems to be more like what I'm saying. To be out of luck in a losing position. To be baffled as to what to do or how to proceed. Yeah, that sounds closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't make the rules here, okay? Wait, you can have a stalemated pool game? How does that work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The referee judges, or if there's no referee, both players agree, that attempting to pocket or move an object ball will result in loss of game. The balls will be re-racked with the original breaker of the stalemated game breaking again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vessi footwear. Okay, we need a water bucket for this sponsor evidently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, they're a big thing, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it just, like, the, the pores are too small. Yeah. And water just beads against them. It's, like, that's why you can, you know, still use a microphone when you're, when you've got a water-resistant phone. Anyway, uhm, so that you can walk through rain, snow, mud, and slush without worry, and their material helps regulate the temperature of your feed.

The antimicrobial insoles will keep your feet fresh, good luck.

[Assistant] That's right. I need to get a new one with my new car. Actually, my new car is like, not iconic, so that would sort of be irrelevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we've got a few more great topics for you guys today. I thought you were gonna review that car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you just trolling me right now? Is that what's going on? You're trolling me, aren't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I got it in like fall of 2018 at this point. I've had it over a year. Uh, what I had actually intended to do was keep it for a very short period of time. And uhm, you know, I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have not, in fact, ended up changing my car. Uhm, it's very, it's very practical. Very practical, you know, I'm a practical kind of guy. Uhm, had a lot of people ask me, why don't you get a Tesla?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I, because I didn't, because I paid like 20 grand less than what you would for a Tesla, and I have no range anxiety, and I plugged my phone in if I need smart car features. Not a smart car, that's a different thing. Uh, Sony, speaking of cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I mean, I, okay, I actually, I wrote an episode of Techlinked for the first time ever. Oh. In all the years that Techlinked has existed as a format. Uhm, okay, not back when it was netlinked daily. So back when I was just winging it. Uhm, but ever since it was a scripted news roundup, I have never


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually written it. Okay. Not once. Yeah, okay. I wrote it for the first time on Tuesday for Wednesday's episodes, uh, episode. It was fun, and I actually addressed this exact issue because Riley had glossed over it, but I thought it was really funny, um, that people were giving them such a hard time. I don't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree that they could have done something edgier and more futuristic looking for the- Oh, for the design. For the design. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I 100% agree with that. I thought the PS2 design was super cool because I'm old and whatever. I thought it was cool. Uhm, I think that the PS3 one was kind of a little bit try hard. Uhm. What does it genuinely look like? Is it this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see, I don't know. They could have done literally anything. And it would have been more than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, U.S. Gamer.net, here we go. PlayStation, that was an excellent design for the time, uhm, it made the point that it had 3D graphics, uh, it was a PNNS, it looked pretty cool, fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, PS2, I thought PS2 was super cool, it looked very, this is a new generation of thing, it's like, it's way better, it's like, performance and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great looking console for the time. This, very Spider-Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, everyone thought it looked like Spider-Man, so it's not like I was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, wait, what happened to PS4?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the? Thank you, thank you for the excellent two thirds of an article that you had going on there, and then you just, you done goofed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, a lot of people are pointing out that this is what the dev kit looks like for the PlayStation 5. I still think that there is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least I would hope that there is a chance that they would launch something that cool looking. Uhm, I think it would be just like such- I think it would be fun. Everything's so boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's literally a box. I sincerely hope that Sony allowed these leaks, cause there's too many leaks for this to have been an accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like I sincerely hope that Sony allowed these leaks so that they could test the water on this design. That is my personal hope. Uh, cause I would love to have a game console that looks like a freaking game console. Yeah. Uhm, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Orange? Ehh, that one never really did much for me. I wasn't that into the red either, but the, the, the, uh, the smoked black one. Smoked black one was sick. The blue one, the purple one. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still don't own a Nintendo, I have never in my life owned a Nintendo 64.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cause like, I don't know, I don't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember the last time their laptops were actually designed like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, how do I put this? I don't remember the last time Sony actually cared about their laptops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, let's pull it up. Well, so far it's just a concept. Uhm, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I would trust Sony to make a car more than I would trust a lot of car manufacturers to make a car. Now that they're electric? Yes. Now that the car is basically a rolling computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I would give, I would have a lot more faith in Sony's ability to design and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and as far as, like, if it's a, like, category by category, uhm, I don't have as much trust in Sony, uhm, like, their, their cameras. I have a lot of trust in Sony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and like there are, like if they did like some weird, uh, like skunkworks type, like side project, I don't think I would have as much faith in them. Uh, would I buy a Sony TV? I mean that's, that's a funny one. Uhm, LG display, not to be confused with LG electronics,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LG Display makes the OLED panels that pretty much everyone and their dog is using in high-end TV. Sony doesn't actually manufacture OLED panels. So why is it that for quite a while, actually, Sony had what was the best regarded OLED TV?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would think LG Electronics and LG Display would be able to work together pretty closely to make sure that LG Electronics has the best darn LG Display based thing, but that's not quite how it works. Sony managed to squeeze more out of the technology than the guys who basically work right next to the campus where they make them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So, if it was something like a TV or a display, I would actually have a lot of trust in Sony. So, uh, cameras. I could, I could be a hundred percent sure. Sony is far and away, so, sorry, I don't mean, uhm, I don't mean video production cameras now, I'm talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. Like you can just- And the wheels. You can build your own motorcycle from scratch. You can build your own car from scratch by going and just buying enough aftermarket tuned components to just actually make one. That can be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, I-I don't think that a lot of the traditional automotive things are gonna be complicated for Sony. I mean, the things that took the most R&D are no longer relevant. The internal combustion engine and the transmission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that was the hard part! Now, I think really the point of this Sony concept car is that anyone can make a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that said, I'm not saying anyone can run a successful car company, because there's a lot more to running a car company than building one car, uh, you know, figuring out your supply chain and logistics issues, your regulatory issues, all that kind of stuff. That's, that's way more complicated actually than building a car at this point, uh, from my understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Safety Cocoon has 33 sensors in total, including high-resolution CMOS optical, solid advanced driver assistance system suite, oh no, solid state lidar, radar, time of flight sensors, all of which are fused together to create an advanced driver assistance system suite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Individual speakers per passenger seat allow users to listen to their own music. I doubt that that works very well. Uh, the dashboard display spans the entire width of the vehicle. See, I would trust Sony to have great displays in their vehicle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Internet connected, kept up to date and add new features, has a valet mode. Uhm, says this platform will be able to support other types of vehicles like SUVs. Uhm, no indication of it ever making it to a production stage. You know what? I've talked myself into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will buy the Sony car. I will put in a pre-order the minute it goes up for sale. You hear that Sony? Yep. I will buy the Sony car because I don't like Tesla's attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've talked about this on the WAN Show before, I don't like their attitude, and if Sony was to come in and be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone with, because I don't necessarily, I'm not necessarily after the, like, you know, the wheel alignment experience. I'm after, because the computerized features of a car are kind of more important to me at this point. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone were to come in and challenge Tesla in that space, uh, where they're providing updates, adding new features, all those things that Tesla does, without being anti-right to repair, uhm, I'd be very interested in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone says, when did Sony start releasing software updates? Uhm, they do firmware updates for their cameras. They release software updates for the PlayStation all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, would you have just not bought one? Yeah. Really? On that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was fine, but like $400 of which you're only out like maybe a hundred of it because you can flip the stupid thing in six months. No. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, back up a second, because you wanted to play the games. Oh yeah. The difference is I don't want to play the games, I just don't care. You wouldn't go out, buy a used console, lose maybe twenty or thirty dollars on the deal, and flip it again after you've played the games. Bull. Stuff. Yeaah. He would have owned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically my company does, cause we had to like put Fortnite on computers so that we could do videos about LUL Fortnite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have an account. Like, LTT Benchmark has an account. I don't have a personal account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if anything, I'm bringing them down one free download of the game and no microtransactions at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, wow. Thank you, thank you Google Docs. I'm halfway through the show and it just logs me out of my account. That's great. Wonderful. Oh, I appreciate you so much, fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got an 8 inch screen, uh, compared to the Nintendo Switch's 6.2 inch screen, so it's larger and noticeably heavier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the side controllers are detachable just like the Switch with a connector to turn them into a standalone controller just like the Switch. It's got a kickstand for seated gaming and can dock to be used with an external display. So it is otherwise a fully-fledged Windows PC. Here, I'm gonna share your screen for a second there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really weird the way the perspective of this image makes it kind of hard to tell that this is a straight down line. It looks like an angle. Yea, it looks like the screen is a trapezoid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. But just the way that this image is shot...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, where it's closer to the top and farther from the bottom makes it kind of look like this is straight down, but it's clearly not. The screen has to be square, so it looks like they slide on at an angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you could have just as easily, uhm, just made the device thicker and had a bit more room in it and made the controller a little bit straight. Like, I don't really get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, hard to tell from that picture. Uh, so Dell insists this is a concept, but those who had hands-on said it appears to be very polished for a concept device. Uhm, this is speculation on our part, but with Intel's demo of their new Xenon, huh, discrete graphics, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's possible this device was a demo for that and they just couldn't talk about it. Look how huge that is. Yea, it's pretty chunky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not small. And especially in a lady's hands now, uh, it looks... Like that looks difficult to use for her. Really unwieldy. Yeah. Uhm, huh. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cherry updated their MX switches for a hundred million actuations, which is really funny, uhm, because I remember talking to them when we did our factory tour, and they were like, well the whole however many millions of actuations is basically just a dick-waving contest and we're not gonna participate. Well, they participated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be clear, they didn't literally say that, they just sat on ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cherry increased the gliding surface area on the keyswitch stem as well as the included eight guide rails on the inside of the Switch housing, and they're calling this new solution Hyperglide. They also showed off their new viola switch design aimed at more budget-oriented keyboards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I guess that's pretty much all I have to talk about for now. Do you really care that much about that, uhm, pot, stash box? Oh, no, I was just- I was just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, whatever. There's a Potsdash box, and it's got facial recognition, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. There's a built-in scale that works with the mobile app. Ha! Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and they won an innovation award even though you're not allowed to have cannabis at the exhibition, uh, because they didn't mention cannabis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if we made a, what if we made a cookie jar that like, you know, when the kids walk up to it is like, you better go ask mom first. Done. How many millions of those do we sell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you could have like- There's a clock on it? Yea, you could have like tokens. Why not? Like the kids could go get, like it could have like a little fob that goes on your keychain. So the kids have to go use the fob in order to open it and give your keys back. So like, you know, it's like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, boom. And it just like complains. Million dollar idea. It complains until it's properly closed. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it makes noise while it's open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, Carpool Critics guys, we have a, uhm, movie podcast. It's over at carpoolcritics.libsyn.com. You can find it on Twitter, at Carpool Critics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James Riley and David are the main talents. I don't know if they did one this week because they were down at CES, but generally speaking, they'll be hitting a new movie every week. And LTX saved the date! August 8th and 9th. These need to be corrected. You can find the full details at LTXExpo.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We highly recommend that you be there. We already have creators RSVPing. Uh, I forget which ones I'm actually allowed to say cause we have to ask them. Hey, is it okay if we confirm? Yeah, that makes sense. Um, but yeah, there's already creators that are going to be there and I'm really, really excited. It's gonna be a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Super Chats, I hope the LTT offices are insulated and your pipes are covered. Next week it's going down to minus seven. Oh my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think we were supposed to have done it already, but then something, something, the three different time zones of the parties involved, we had to push it, but it is still going to happen at some point. Okay. Uhm...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. I like it. I think we should start with something better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we should start with an RTX 2080 Ti or something. I, I don't want us to have too much money though. Like that was a, yeah. Right, but you can make, when you're talking trading, cause you can't sell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Cause otherwise, you've got too much value tied up in one thing. So you have to get the best, like, multi-item thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you could trade it for anything. You could trade it for a car, for all it, you know. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, fatal flaw says, oh I got here late, did I miss intel's funeral? Oof. Ouch. Ouch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds good. Uh, Johnny Lombax says, thank you for recommending CrossCode. I bought it recently and I absolutely love it. You still haven't played it. You suck. I've played CrossCode. You suck. I haven't beat it. I've played it. How far in are you? I bet my son's further than you. Probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually gotten shockingly good at it. I think the babysitter's been letting him play video games more than she's supposed to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he's like, actually really good, like he's using the tech tree and like, using abilities to beat bosses that like, I know for a fact I didn't show him and stuff, like he's getting to the age where he can actually figure out games on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, actually, I need your guys' help. Uhm, this reminds me, uh, what is it called?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I got an email from someone recently saying, Hey I know Final Fantasy 6 is like your favorite game of all time. This mod makes it better in every way. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, here are some of the, here are some of the, and I need your guys's, I need your guys's genuine honest thoughts. If you haven't played it, shut up. Are you gonna stream it? If you've played it, oh, I don't know, I hadn't really thought about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, complete overhaul of Final Fantasy VI featuring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Character based Esper restrictions, so you can't just put any Esper on anyone you want with the level up bonuses that come along with that, so you could, you know, turn


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, strago into like a tank or whatever else. Like, uhm, so, so it's, you can only assign, I think, the maximum for like the magic heavy characters. It's like, they can have up to six espers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having to like, in between every random encounter, like go into the menu and see who's about to level up next and flip around their espers, like that was really tedious and stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, new and reworked formulas which rescue everything that isn't magic or magic evasion from the dump stat heap. So basically the idea is that it makes physical and magic both important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it actually just didn't work and apparently it fixes that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rebalanced equipment, items, spells, and skills that aim to remove dead weight and give players more and better choices. Overhaul of enemies from their stats to their behavior to better challenge veteran players and newcomers alike. Tons of bugs, bug fixes, a new script?

[Assistant] That restores much of what was lost in translation. Now you can just put like the, uh, Game Boy Advance remake script in there if you feel like it. Or the original buildable C script if you really want to do that too is my understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard that the script, okay, so I read some posts on Reddit that were really focused on 1.9, which came out quite a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they said that the updated script had like pop culture references and like memes and stuff in it. Now, the original script also did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty sweet. But there's very little of it. Like, very, very little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wanna know, should I go play, it's not a difficulty mod, but it is harder than vanilla Final Fantasy 6, apparently. Should I play it? I will take feedback from Floatplane first. You guys, oh, broken...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was it. You wasted your comment that I was gonna read on that. Way to go. It's all over now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't get into it by the time I touched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was already a pretty outdated RPG. Yeaah, uhm. And it, I, you know what? No offense to the people who hold it very near and dear, uhm, it did not age well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I didn't even manage to get into Neverwinter Nights 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that came out, uhm, like I tried to like it because I paid for it with my money. And that was three years later with what I think we can probably agree is fairly, uhm, three years worth of progress, better gameplay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the first one of those sort of D&D inspired games that I really got into was Dragon Age, and I know that was pretty normie-y. So that should give you guys some idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, but I know a lot of D&D hardcoreers were like, this is too dumbed down. This is, they've gone mainstream now, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, they might have done that, but it worked great for me. I loved that game. Uhm, so Kotor was really not something I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sebi gamer says only play it if you've played the vanilla before. Well yeah, I've played the vanilla before. It's like my favorite game, Volpine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm getting surprisingly little feedback. Uhm, Desync says, I agree. I don't know who you're agreeing with. Should we straw poll? Uh, I have multiple friends who liked it and still speak highly of it, but when I tried it, no thanks. It's just not as engaging as they said. They're biased. Simple as that. Okay. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not play Morrowind, so Morrowind was another perfect example of a 2D RPG that I just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I was like, that was a great game. I wanna play more Elder Scrolls. And I went back and tried to play Morrowind and I was just like, I walked down some path, got immediately just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrick Finney says, I prefer the original Japanese release of Final Fantasy 6 versus the US Final Fantasy 3. And that is, I guarantee it, exactly what you sound like. What else we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dominic says, remember when everyone was saying the original Wolfenstein graphics were so realistic, and you go back and look at it and it looks like a multi-cade game? Yeah, pretty much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So nobody seems to like have played this thing or like know anything about it pretty much. There's a couple of posts in here, but I'm reading basically everything that I see, but someone says they want me to stream it. So you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'll just give it a shot. I've got, I've got a legit cartridge so I can, I, I won't feel bad just playing Final Fantasy 6.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so apparently I gotta play it, and I can tell you, my worry, I feel like I'm gonna hate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot of why I love Final Fantasy 6 so much, it's, it's grindy, most of these skills don't matter at all, the puzzles are honestly not really challenging by modern standards even, uhm, maybe, maybe part of that is that I know the game like the back of my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, sorry, Final Fantasy 6 is trash. Uh, okay. I am reporting you for hate speech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually, can I do harassment and hate speech? No, I have to pick one. Would you say it's harassment or hate speech?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I actually, uhm, had a, I ended up killing like two hours reading this blog the other night, and it was amazing. So it's a translator who works on Japanese to English translations, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Da-da-da-da-da-da. Uh, what was I looking for? Uhm, ah, here it is. You should read it. It's absolutely fantastic. Uh, the site is legendsoflocalization.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mandelin? Whatever, doesn't matter. Uhm, created this system for, uhm, seeing the dialogue from five different versions of the game


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, just kind of talks about, so here's the original Japanese, which he'll often say like, you know, how close the various translations got to, cause he can read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they've got the Game Boy Advance translation, this fan translation that's famous for being terrible, and then talking about how great it was compared to, uh, the Bill Woolsey translation, which is the original North America release, and then they've also got Google in there for fun. And some of the stuff that Google spits out is absolutely amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, some of the stuff that- Yeah, some of the stuff the fan translation or the original one that I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never realized how confusing some of the dialogue was, because when I'm going through and playing for myself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? But there's some stuff where the meaning of what the characters are saying was dramatically altered. Uhm, I'm like, oh, okay. And apparently he, like, famously had almost no time to work on it. And there were some censorship issues with Nintendo of America where, like, there's some pretty explicit language in the Japanese one that he had to be like, do you want to come sit with me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, oh, you know, to let me, to let you through here, you gotta bring me some liquor. Uh, whereas the boys like, yep, apple cider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, there's one more Super Chat that I really have to read because it's like a hundred dollar Super Chat. You're nuts, Mr. Idnetguy2004.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm back! Yeah, we see that, but like- There's three?!
