[Assistant] I did this because there's nothing else on the market that has the same level of ergonomics and build quality that allows us to operate the camera more comfortably. So effectively, I'm not buying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm buying a camera operator whose back doesn't need chiro appointments every week that ultimately my company's health plan is gonna pay for. That's what I'm buying. So it's a different...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not talking about an iPad Pro. That's not professional equipment. A MacBook Pro is not professional equipment anymore. People are doing real work on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apple has sullied that product line. They have made it about a status symbol that you can use to browse Facebook. Hot take. More than just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About actually getting real work done and delivering the best possible performance. Now, my thoughts may change when I actually haven't watched our review of the upcoming 8-core MacBook Pro, so I'm basing it on the one that thermal throttled last. Apparently it's a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about actual tools that actual professionals will buy to actually make money with them. It's a different equation when you make money with something that you buy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, if you make more money with it, then objectively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. Or like, or like if someone quit because I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, couldn't provide the, the ergonomic equipment that they need to not be in pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking thousands and thousands of dollars in lost product- productivity. What, this makes them happy? Pfft. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should really do some super chats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, yeaah, here YouTube, here's your, here, let's find the, let's find the most expensive, uh, super chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here you go YouTube, here's 30 bucks, uh, from Tyne and Dugdoll. Hey Linus, Paradox Interactive of CK2EU4 made a music video for their upcoming Paradox Con. Will we get a music video for LTX?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to confess, I had not given that one nanosecond of thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could put us in bikinis. Is that something I can make you guys do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, actually, yeaah, that is something that we would consider doing. Uhm, it would have to be the right project. I mean, we have designed cases from scratch before. My personal rig is in a completely custom-designed case that was built by Protocase. Uhm, Anthony Berg, hi! Joseph Thornier, hi! Chad, hi!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Chad. Blame the dingus. More free super chat. Thank you. Um, JR Andrew Mosspack says, do you think Apple will lock out the PCIe ports? I sincerely hope that they don't. Um, at least not directly. I think what Apple will do is they will limit the availability of drivers for devices to ones that they won't plug into those PCIe ports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I appeared to be blaming Apple for the rift between Apple and Nvidia. To be clear, I don't. I suspect that between Nvidia and Apple, you've got the two biggest egos in the entire industry, and it's no wonder they can't get along, and it's probably equal parts both of their fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Carpentry says Canadian dollars for the merch store, please. Uh, sorry, it's not gonna happen anytime soon. The vast majority of our audience is, uhm, in the U.S. And the ones that aren't, quite frankly, aren't in Canada either. And the U.S. dollar is kind of the international currency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, we just call- you made me call out Shopify and you haven't double checked it. Dang it, Nick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're saying you're rich, so you don't care. No, I'm saying that I use these products to make money. Think about it this way, you don't- you can apply the same logic to anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a, as a parent whose kids won't use it very often, I could say, uh, $75 radio flyer wagon is very expensive, and I'm not gonna buy one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, if my, if my son were to say, I'm gonna get a job delivering newspapers, I can deliver newspapers 30% faster with a radio flyer wagon, I could make back that money in seven days of delivering newspapers, now it's not expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It costs the exact same amount of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a matter of measuring that amount that it costs against the ROI that it delivers for the business. It's a different calculation. It doesn't necessarily mean that you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't care about what the cost is, it just means that there are other factors at play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Scott says you crashed YouTube with last week's WAN show. Actually, this is two WAN shows in a row that they haven't managed to process correctly, so my intention today is to kill the livestream and then re-upload it as a VOD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they promised me it's not gonna happen again, but they also couldn't offer an explanation as to why it happened last week and why it took an entire week for them to, uh, fix it. TylerGaming says, I'm a Linux user. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Enjoy your very limited suite of creative professional software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, it's not that simple, you know that. Uhm, Tommy Gunn says, How's the 100k PC and personal rig doing? My personal rig's great. James helped me upgrade it again yesterday, so I'm super stoked on that. And 100k PC, we have a video coming very soon, we shot that this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay. I think I'm gonna call that it. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, and we will see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Oh, I am blur. 20 bucks. Sorry, I will, I will answer you. Do you know of a 2-in-1 or a convertible laptop with pen support for drawing that can also game at approximately medium settings? Wow. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't, I wouldn't count on finding that. I would more look for something that has a good drawing surface that has thunderbolt and I would use an eGPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when you're, when you're gaming, like, I don't know what to tell ya. Uhm, or I would wait for, oh, I would wait for, wait, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would wait for, uh, 10th gen, they're gonna have better onboard graphics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex P- A' from our editing team sent a super chat asking if this is a conflict of interest. Sending the super chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, timeout. Timeout. April. Is that? No. Alright, bye guys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, wait, what the, what the deuce? Rover! Yeah, Rover apparently gets the whole thing. Ro-ver!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A non-controversy, which to me in and of itself is kind of controversial. Uhm, so AMD said that PCI Express Gen 4 would not work on previous generation motherboards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Asus went out and published a list of previous gen boards that it'll work on. And it's a funny thing because uhm, I think that AMD fanboys aren't really gonna like my take on this, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my feeling is that if the same thing had happened with Intel,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People would be shrieking about it. And now that it's happening with AMD, it's like, oh, that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The video that we uploaded today. So this is something that I've actually addressed on the WAN Show in the past. I'm just gonna fire it up on my laptop here. Hopefully my, uh, my screen sharing is working here. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, we see that there's a little bit of lag on the YouTube stream. We are now sort of way beyond, uh, not having an explanation for it because the entire Wancho PC has been swapped out. Uh, CPU, GPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert, by the way, no, your super chat is not pre-recorded. So it's starting to get to the point where it's just like, not really funny anymore. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, anyway, so I'm gonna go ahead and pull up the video that we did today. So this video was called, and this was mistake number one, it was called, why is everybody buying these headphones? Which was actually just one of those complete


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boneheaded errors, and I'm not gonna throw anyone under the bus, but I think we can all guess who it is that usually makes those particularly egregious errors on the channel, and never actually does get fired because I love him so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I didn't really think anything of it, I thought maybe just one of the editors was confused about it and named the file that. And, like, the file name is not generally anything to do with the actual name of the video once we go live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But somehow it ended up with the name of a series that we run on the channel. Why is everybody buying this X that has never been sponsored before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it has never been sponsored before, uh, by either of those two parties. Like, third party sponsors, sure, you know, you're savage, jerky, or whatever the case may be. So, that created, initially, a ton of confusion, and a ton of upset, because all of a sudden, we had a sponsored showcase video. You can see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever corner it is, right there. Sponsored by Taotronics that seems to be disguised as editorial content. Something that we actually work really hard to not have happen. Which is why, thankfully, at least at the beginning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I'm not sure. I believe the word showcase was already in there, but it is supposed to be. So if there's a video that is just like, here's information about a product, but it's sponsored by that company or by that product or by somewhere to get it, it is supposed to be clearly displayed in the title of the video so that you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that was problem number one that people had with the video as soon as Nick was actually the one who spotted it. As soon as Nick saw that the title wasn't right, he had it changed, this is what it was supposed to be. Value noise cancelling headphones? Sound search 46 showcase. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other one is a little bit more difficult to address and I feel like I'm almost gonna have to do a complete video talking about this at some point in the future because there seems to be a lot of confusion in people's minds about the way that we handle our sponsored


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To start doing what we called, uh, showcases. Which are essentially what most of the rest of the industry, that is YouTube personalities, is doing. Where essentially there's some product or some service and there's a sponsorship involved and you're basically given a bullet point list of things to say about it. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our way of reconciling that, because obviously that's not editorial content, that's not, uhm, you know, my opinion, uhm, the way that we reconciled that was, okay, here's the deal, audience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna do these, but we're gonna do them as extra releases, so you'll notice this video went up on a Friday. So instead of the Linus Tech Tips channel getting six normal videos, plus Wanshow for a total of seven, that's one every day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was actually six normal videos, plus this one, plus WAN Show, so there were a total of eight videos. So, we didn't want these sponsored showcases, this sponsored content,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we had decided to do one of these showcases. So that was number one. We didn't want it to affect the volume of content that you guys get. That is our usual type. Uhm, number two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, we wanted to separate our opinion, which cannot be purchased, from airtime on our channel, which can be purchased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I talk about buying airtime, you are in much the same way that you would sponsor a podcast or a radio show, you are paying for the host to read your talking points, be it about Savage Shurkey, Ridge Wallet,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Elgato Stream Deck or, you know, any number of other, other brands and products that have, that have sponsored our show. Yea, I'll show LTX.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the distinction then is you can pay for words to be said, but you cannot pay for an opinion. So that's where I feel like people are really allowing the waters to get muddied in their minds between reviews,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sponsored videos. So a lot of the complaints about this video, aside from the ones about the title being wrong, and it really was, that was absolutely our mistake and we're sorry, that's our bad, uhm, a lot of the complaints are that we didn't give an opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is a, you know, I could, here, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna scroll down and find something here, you know, cause I'm sure it won't be that hard. Okay, here's one that I pinned, because I did respond to him. Uhm, so what other than the requested sponsored talking points can you give us? Anything of your own? Or are you just reading off their marketing material?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer is, I am reading off their marketing material, and when it comes to any other sponsored piece of content, so are they. That's how it works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime I were to give you guys an opinion in a sponsored piece of content, I'm not talking about like, picking it up, like, so here's a Ridge wallet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's made of carbon fiber, feels pretty solid. I am demonstrating that it's solid. Yes, I'm saying it feels pretty solid to me or whatever. But that is a, that is a demonstrable objective fact. It's, it's really well built. That's not really an opinion, even though it's being presented in the form of an opinion. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, so any time we are giving an, if we were to give opinions in our sponsored content, then we create a really awkward and a really dangerous crossover between a review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is a word that we use very carefully. A review cannot be sponsored by the subject of the review because there is an inherent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obvious conflict of interest that prevents any information in that review from being taken at its face value. So we keep a review separate from a sponsored showcase because yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is exactly what a sponsored video is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some sponsors, in fact, Tautronics was one of them, do allow us to give you guys useful information. We did mention some of the more negative points of those headphones in the video. And in fact, we run into this a lot of the time, especially brands that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where their, their big kid pants and are willing to take criticism will even allow it in a sponsored video. But what you guys need to understand is that every brand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taotronics, Cisco, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, anyone that we've ever worked with over the years has a say in a sponsored piece of content. So anything that is in that finished video, and this goes not just for us, but any channel that you watch, at least the ones where at least they disclose it, any channel you watch that does a sponsored video,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The brand that sponsored it had a say, and if there was something they didn't like, it was probably removed, depending on the contract. I would say with 98...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Percent certainty. That would have been removed. I mean, there are gonna be creators out there that have more power. That have more weight to throw around and say, no, this is my artistic vision, it stays. And we've been able to throw that weight around a fair number of times, but sometimes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why is everyone, okay, no, yeaah, sorry, that was about the title, it's, uh, super, this is an ad with no actual content, WTF, yes. That's why it says, sponsored by Taotronics, and that's why it says Showcase in the title, because at the end of the day, that's basically what it is, and the WTF is, this was an extra piece of content, we labeled it with Showcase,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the fact, and I'm really sorry about that, we labeled it with showcase. If you don't wanna see it, don't watch it. That really is our stance on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is, this is another really great example right here of exactly the mentality that we need to, we need to kill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind sponsored videos, but this was just a four minute ad. There was no review or anything. If it's sponsored, there is no review. Period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not how these contracts work. And you don't want them to work that way. No, you don't. You want reviews to be really, really clearly separated from anything that is sponsored in a way that could create a conflict of interest. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, most of the complaints. Probably the most blatant clickbait title I've seen. Nobody, not a single soul. Linus, everybody is buying these. And that's, that's fair, cause the original title is, is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't sort of, it didn't just violate our own standards for what constitutes clickbait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it violates our editorial standards. Oh, it's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we, we mentioned the main drawbacks to them, like, to be clear, they're fine. We wouldn't have taken the deal if we thought they were a bad deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I can explain why that would be. Uhm, the cost to implement USB type C is significantly higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, by complex standard I mean it is like many different


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standards, many of which don't, uh, necessarily work properly with each other. Building a device that charges over USB Type-C is not trivial, and there's a reason that even large companies like Logitech are still shipping gaming mice with USB Micro B connectors. Now, with someone like Logitech, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have less sympathy because Luke has personally visited their R&D facilities. I think they can figure out how to put a USB type C connector on something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Taotronics, given the price point and given the fact that a device like this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Logitech mitigates this somewhat by putting reinforcements around their Type-C connectors at the end of their mice so that it doesn't put as much strain on it, but with a device like a mouse,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you're actually moving it around while it's charging sometimes, there's a clear and obvious reason to use a more durable connector like a Type-C. This is a pair of headphones that you'll probably charge once every few days for a span of a couple years until you lose them or whatever. So Micro B, yeah, it's not as good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it doesn't need fast charging over type C, like it doesn't need, you know, 30 watt charging or anything crazy like that. Uhm, it would be more convenient to not have to carry an extra cable, but they are a value option as opposed to a, you know, 199 or 299 pair of active noise cancelling headphones. So I was willing to be, uhm, I was willing to not remonet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's no way, again, remember this is a sponsored piece of content, there's no way I was going to be able to remonet hard because this is a sponsored piece of content. So why wasn't it in there? Because given the context, I was willing to not remonet and I wouldn't have been able to remonet anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think, uh, that's pretty much all I have to say about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, speaking of all I have to say about that, I ate at Bubba Gumps for the first time ever yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this sucks, but CGP Grey was there, uh, Tom Scott was there, uhm, YouTube's head of search and discoverability was there, which was really important, and there were definitely some key insights that this is not the kind of meeting that I can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think her first name is Rebecca. She's absolutely huge. She does kids content. Uhm, I forget her last name. Zimolo? Zimolo? Something like that. Uhm, there was a guy who has a really cool channel that's like tips for creators. Uhm, there was the guy who did the, uh, the arcade, arcade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cheats or something. What's his, what's his name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she's, it's not the kind of content that I think you folks would necessarily enjoy, but, uhm, she's super popular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, nobody is, nobody is helping me in the chat. Mark Robert, Mark Rober, Mark Rober, he was there. Oh, okay. Arcade Scam Science. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he was there. So it was like, honestly, I felt kind of B-list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I think I got an invite just because I cornered one of their execs at uhm, at the Top Creator Summit and was like, asking a bunch of questions and he was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're thinking of having like a dinner. Come to that and talk to these people directly. So it's really cool. I'm finally getting to the point where we have a real relationship with YouTube. Actually, one of the people who was there got to launch


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so the original article here is from the YouTube creator's blog. And, uh, he was really excited about this. So, Content ID now requires claimants to provide more information and provide better...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There go a bunch of disc plates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, anyway, so better, uh, so better tools to resolve manual content ID claims. So this actually would have solved that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, anyway, uhm, now it's way easier to resolve these things. So in the past, the copyright claim system had been abused and used to extort creators in some cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so manual claiming is a tool within Content ID that allows you to do things like go, uh, hey, YouTube's automated system didn't find this six notes of our song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you know, automatically flag it. So we're gonna go in, we're gonna manually say, hey, that's from our song. We actually had this happen a while back with uhm, a monitor video. We had like a meme, and it was basically like, da-da-da-da-da! And like, it was really that short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six to eight notes of music or whatever it was. And the way that a copyright claim works is that once someone else claims your video, the video stays up, you lovely folks still get to enjoy it, but all of the money that gets made through AdSense on that video goes to that copyright holder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they had nothing to do with 99.5% of the video content. And it was just that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the money goes to them, which is obviously not a perfect system, but I also understand why it would be that way because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you can't just, you can't just grab like, you know, an iconic song, like ACDC Highway to Hell or something, and use, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five to ten seconds of it in every one of your videos, and expect that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay, because you didn't create that. That's not yours. It doesn't work that way. And you also can't just tell ACDC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not fair either, because clearly, you, the creator, felt you were significantly enhancing your piece of content by stealing someone else's work, or you wouldn't have included it. I mean, in that case, you definitely did. Uhm, sorry, you definitely did what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a move in the creator's direction after a lot of previous moves that appeared to be designed to help copyright holders enforce their copyright to a degree that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I as a YouTuber felt was unfair. We ended up having to edit that video and re-upload it without that meme in it because giving someone else all the AdSense from a video that we spend a lot of time and money creating for their couple seconds of music just doesn't make any sense to us. So now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what's, here's what's going on. So content ID can work automatically by scanning a blah blah blah. Okay, so uhm, hm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Jono's notes on this are not amazing, but basically, starting today, and I think that's two days ago, three days ago, they are requiring copyright owners to provide timestamps to indicate exactly where their content appears in the videos that they manually claim. Which is nice. This was a big problem. Good start. Like, in that video,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched through the entire video without actually realizing what the problem was. All I could see was that it had been claimed by some music conglomerate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah? And then someone finally clued in, I think it was actually a comment on the video that alerted us to this, that, that meme...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was from a song. Like that little portion of it. And uhm, so, so it wasted a bunch of our time when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The claimant could have just said, hey, this is the problem. Now they don't want to do that, because that's not actually the outcome they're after. Think about it from their perspective. Would they rather have you quickly edit their crap out of your video, or would they rather take your money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, they have to provide timestamps now for exactly which part of your video is manually being claimed, and YouTube is providing their editing tools to remove the content claimed manually in your video, which will now automatically release the claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so right now you've got a few different options. You can mute all sound when the claimed song plays. You can replace the song if you don't want to mute the audio entirely. Uh, so you can instead swap out the music with one of their free to use songs from the YouTube audio library.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, although that might not necessarily be a perfect solution, we actually had someone claim a YouTube audio library, uh, song once, because the performance was licensed by YouTube, but the actual original sheet music was still copyrighted in Germany of all places, anyway. Or you can trim out the content, so you can just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut it out, and then an edited version will show up on YouTube after the fact. And they are still working on improvements, like having an explicit trim option in the video copyright info page that'll allow you to trim it out with just one click.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, remember of course that the same tools from before where you could dispute these claims do still exist. If you think the claim is incorrect,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or covered under fair use, or just completely irrelevant, like those Unigine Valley and Unigine Heaven claims, you can just say, hey, this is invalid, here's the reason I think so, and we've actually found that most of the time, uhm, like Wancho, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we've been flagged by the game trailer owners and I'm kinda sitting here going...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we've actually disputed those in the past saying...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking at it going like, you guys are just idiots because we are just never ever ever going to talk about one of your new games again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on the subject of Nintendo, one more topic before we do our sponsors, uh, Switch Lite. Yea or nay? Yea, absolutely. You know what? You know what? I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna attempt the gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll see. We'll see if we give up all of our AdSense over that. What do you think? Do you disagree with me? Uhm, I don't- I wasn't listening. I was busy being-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but- Maybe an enthusiast can take it. It's a factor in a purchasing decision for me, and- I'm not gonna purchase a Switch Lite. Okay. I think it's cool that it's on the market. Here's my other main problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so to me, effectively, what Nintendo has done here is they've knocked $100 off the price. And you're getting the same gaming hardware, so you're gonna have the same gaming experience that you had, at least on mobile anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, okay, so here's my problem, is they dropped $100 off the price. Yes, that's nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30 bucks to get the one that just has all the functionality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I run into trouble. This is a console that is a Switch, but doesn't offer all the same experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For 30 bucks, look, I've played more Mario Party on the Switch portably than I have on my TV. Oh, that's kinda weird. On the plane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, there are games that won't play. You gotta check the back of the game, you gotta see if it supports handheld mode, and if it doesn't, you are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I have to run out and spend $70 on top of the fact, so here's another problem that I have. First party Nintendo games are freaking expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of moms are not comfortable buying used stuff for their kid, who, you know, even if they're like a, like, you know, I get this story all the time, like, hey Linus, my mom won't let me buy a used GPU on eBay because she says it's, it's, it's sketchy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it's a good deal, it's like, it's, it's one of those brands that still has, that has a user transferable warranty, it's literally still under warranty. Help me convince her, and I'm like, look dude, there's nothing I can do to help convince her. I couldn't convince my parents, you're not gonna be able to convince yours, I bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so they've got these unique experiences that are available. Their consoles hold their value. I would make the argument that a Switch Lite is going to go like that compared to a Switch, which will still hold some value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I find, okay, so, let me think for a second. You know what though? One thing I will say- I use my laptop charger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I carry one USB type C, I carry my Razer Blade Stealth laptop charger, which does my phone, my switch, and my laptop. And they all last for long enough that I don't need to plug all three of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if I don't want my kids on my TV. Or that. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without a game, I think it's a tough sell for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For people that can't raise $100 because they're like, too young to find a side hustle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to be clear, that thing I just said just now could sound very out of touch. To be clear, I don't feel bad for like suburban...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, then you should be able to. But if you're someone who is in a situation where like you can't, you don't even have time to go to school because you are like working to support your family at 12 or whatever, that's a completely different situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so yeah, we'll have to figure that out later. Uh, we think it's haunted. Uhm, just wanted to run through the sponsors for you guys. Holy crap, we are 45 minutes into the show and we haven't talked about sponsors. Anthony, did you want to jump in with something? You were kind of standing there patiently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it is smaller? Yeah. Okay, yeah. It's smaller, it's less likely. How much smaller? Like, my Joy-Cons don't stick really well anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Features like, wow, these are really confusing things. Okay, so, uh, they have up to 80 plus titanium efficiency, the highest, or is this a specific skew we're talking about? Yes, it is. But it's not in here. Dang it, you guys. Uhm, where's the, is it here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that's between 91 and 94% efficiency at all times. Uhm, it has their lambda noise level A++, so the noise output stays below 20 decibels during operation. It's got a fluid dynamic bearing fan, with premium hybrid fan control, so the fan actually turns off when it's under a very low load.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got their micro-tolerance load regulation, uh, it comes with a 12 year warranty and you can check it out at Seasonics website or at Amazon in the link in the video description. Is Jono looking for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's a little bit easier to break the habit. So the Ridge Wallet is designed with two metal plates that are bound by a strong elastic band to keep your cards tightly together, but still easily accessible. They've got a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very own Ridge wallet. Cash clip. Oh, that's a cash clip. Well, whatever. I would just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Savage Jerky is also sponsoring the show today and actually still have a little bit of Sriracha bacon left over. Where are you going? Oooooh, we've got the hot sauce!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're jerky's made with high quality ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal of creating a snack that is full of flavour and spice that isn't bad for you. I was actually doing some research on nitrates, they're really bad. Yeah. I had, like, hadn't really thought about it much before, but, so nitrates, uh, make it much faster to age meat and get that desirable...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delicious looking color. Uhm, but they're a carcinogen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well actually, no, sorry, just to be clear, the nitrates are not the carcinogen, it's the reaction between the nitrates and something-something that creates a carcinogen. So they've got 13 different flavors of jerky, like their Sriracha bacon and their maple buffalo bacon, which I love. That one's got a little bit more kick than the maple buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda went down the wrong pipe. I'm good though. They also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and a spice rub. And, uh, I love their hot sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like really good, you guys should check it out. Use offer code LTT to save 10% on all their products at the link below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, do we have any other important topics today? I kinda feel like we covered all the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, we gotta talk about the, uhm, the PCIe Gen 4 compatibility drama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is pretty funny. Uhm, Google's defense of this behavior was that only 0.2% of all audio clips are being used. That's a lot!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Luke has a highly recognizable voice. So let's say that he did set an embarrassing reminder or something like that, even if he was intending to talk to his assistant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I'd love for someone in, uh, in a data center somewhere to really like listen to this and go, wow, is that Luke LaFreniere?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Uh, yeah, so there you go. Processor t-shirt. It's for sale. It's really nice. I really like it. There's also this one. You can also get the Elemental shirts, which, uh, don't sell very well. This shirt exists? Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hard drive is, hard drive is pretty awesome. I really like this one. Uhm, what else is there to say? We're out of stock of most of the sizes of stealth hoodie. Are we out of all of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you'll take anything free. Oh yeaah. So can I pitch you something crazy? Okay. To promote the launch of the underwear, we do the show naked. But wearing underwear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, we could wear bras. We could wear bras. Okay, but hold on a second. I-I need to know how this works. This is actually important. Cause you're a Twitch partner. So if you show your nipples on someone else's channel, Oh. Does that affect your channel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. Oh, it's on both of them. Alright. Alright, just clearing the air here. Just clearing the air. So bras. Alright, so bras might be the answer. I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're not here next week. Okay, next week then. We'll find a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let's see, this was posted by CBForumMember on the LinusTechTips forum, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, AMD's official position about PCI Express Gen 4 compatibility has been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That only X570 and their Ryzen 3rd gen processors together give you the capability to run PCI Express Gen 4, which is double the speed of PCI Express Gen 3 at the same link width. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asus actually just published a chart of their motherboards, so we've got this here on hexus.net.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Showing that some of their last generation X470 and even their more value-oriented B450 boards have PCIe Gen4 support or capability. So ironically, uhm, none of their ROG boards


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, that's pretty funny. But some of their Prime and TUF series boards actually do. So you could plug a PCIe Gen 4 graphics card into your system and get a Gen 4 link if you have a Ryzen 3rd Gen processor installed in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually quite a lot of the boards support PCIe Gen 4 for the M.2 slot, which in my opinion is actually a little bit more important because PCIe Gen 4 16x is so far beyond what a graphics card needs at this point in time outside of some very specialized workloads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That faster storage is probably a more practical use for PCIe Gen 4 at this point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what I actually don't have any clarification on at this point, because I haven't actually read the article, is how this affects the link between the CPU and the chipset. I would imagine that's still a Gen 3 link, because the chipset itself is not Gen 4 capable to my knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as long as the signalling quality is sufficient, it can negotiate a Gen4 link on these boards. As long as the device on the other end is PCIe Gen4. It's just, it's just copper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's what it is, it's copper. Now the way that they route the traces has to be better for PCIe Gen 4 so that you avoid interference. And that's why ASUS is saying, well hey look, these boards aren't gonna handle it because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of whatever reason, or if you had something like a PCI Express, uh, switch or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would a PLX chip be affected by that? I would think it would have to be natively Gen 4. Don't quote me on that. Maybe I'll have to get back to you on that. Anyway. The point is, it looks like there are some boards with PCIe Gen 4 capability from the last generation, which kind of eliminates the one key benefit of X570. Especially because a lot of them are passively cooled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so Intel had something similar, where they had a line of chips, uhm, that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna screw up the codenames Coffee Lake. So they had a line of chips that could have worked on their Z170 and Z270 boards, and Intel decided to say no, they're not compatible, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and that was proven. Enthusiast members of the community got Coffee Lake Chips working by spoofing IDs or masking pins or doing whatever funny things that the community does. I love you guys so much, you're amazing. Uhm, so they actually made Coffee Lake Chips work on previous generation boards. And so, I guess this is just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To pull an Intel on this and lock it down, like manually lock it down, which is what Intel did. But, the stance that AMD is taking here is not actually that different, where they're saying, look, because we don't want to create confusion in the marketplace, we're just gonna say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. And that's exactly what Intel did. Because there were previous generation boards,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So by keeping the message simple, hey, the new gen works, the old one doesn't, you avoid ticking off the customer who just spent $400 on a crosshair whatever, and now has less functionality today. Than the B450 guy. Than the B450 guy that saved a buck last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I mean a perfect example of this is giveaways. You guys might have noticed we don't do a lot of giveaways on our channel. The reason for that is that for every one person that you make happy, you piss off 10,000. Oh yeaah. And so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Optane was another one, where it could have been backported to older generation boards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they didn't because they didn't want to make it confusing. For every enthusiast that you please out of the last generation, you are going to create a bunch of confusion with normies who don't understand why their stuff doesn't work. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Food's here? Yeah. Heck yeah. Alright, so we're heading to the lounge. Uh, goodnight ladies and gentlemen, see you again next week, same bad time, same bad channel. Bye! Hey wait, you're going to do something next week, should people be like, looking out for you there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. So Luke's gonna be there, uhm, Intel sponsoring you? Yeah. If I recall correctly, so... I don't... I think I'm building a computer or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna talk about- oh, okay-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Flowplain has some big milestones coming up. Yeah, which none of the team knows about. At the end of this year. So it's gonna be actually pretty freaking awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, one of the things that's gonna happen before then is live streaming support with chat and all that cool stuff is dropping very, very soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so you can expect, if you're a Floatplane member, you are going to be simultaneously multicasting, or we are going to be simultaneously multicasting, to YouTube, Twitch,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And floatplane.com, next Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in other news, YouTube Rewind dropped yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did you only make it halfway through? Okay, so here's the thing. I have a confession to make. I've never made it. No, I did! I think the year PewDiePie became number one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I might have made it all the way through because I remember seeing the bit at the end with him like walking on the beach or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so hold on a second. So, I have to confess that I don't think I have ever made it all the way through a rewind because I don't really watch YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for me, it's kind of like this parade of people that I don't know who the heck they are. Well, I think that's the problem right now. So that was one key difference this year, is I knew who Marquez was. Yea. I knew who, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I recognize Gaurav, uh, technical diruji, I recognized- He was in it? Yeah, like, I don't know, for like, three seconds. Yeah, cause I didn't see him. He's like, on the island, and he's like, oh, I think we should acknowledge people who, uh, contributed to charitable things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then I recognized Emma Chamberlain, who I'm only aware of because I was reading an article on something about something and somehow I ended up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I realized is that I still don't really get it, and I'm probably not gonna start watching YouTube anytime soon. Anyway, so other than that, I didn't really know who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They called, this was called YouTube Rewind Year in Reviews. So over 250 million views combined. And it's like kind of a clip show from your TV screen. It has like, oh that guy's awesome, the Old Spice commercial guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, oh, it's got a bunch of twilight on it. There's a crying child. Yeaah, so this is like pretty low grade compared to what they- But like, if you notice- But it's- It goes back that far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was not, that was not there. No, the beginning isn't, but later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Google is pushing hard into India. Don't imagine for a second that any of this T-Series and rising in prominence of Indian channels, don't imagine for a second any of this is a random accident. Like, Google is pushing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hard. They're pushing on Chrome. They're pushing on Android. They're pushing on YouTube. They are pushing into India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it featured very prominently in the rewind, and as far as I could, I mean, I went to the Halloween store and there were Fortnite costumes. They didn't have adult sizes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like, I love that Marques had a speaking part, that's really cool. But I almost would have liked it better if he was just like, sitting on one of the seats on the bus, like talking about his phone and like showing it to someone, as they had panned along it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would help, it's like, it's kinda like, does anyone remember when you're a kid, right? And you're in the grocery store with your parents, and like, one of your teachers is standing there like, comparing, you know, the quality of like apples or whatever, and you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you see somebody outside of the normal context that you expect to see them in, it's very easy to not recognize them. And this can even be true of people that you know in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I only made it about halfway through just because like it's, it's not really, it's kind of the same reason that I don't watch like the Grammys and the Oscars cause a lot of the time it's movies and songs, movies I haven't seen, songs I haven't heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people who I, I don't really know who they are. Like there's a handful of like very famous actors and or musicians. Musicians in particular, I don't watch music videos. It's not like, uh, like I have a, an objection to them or anything. I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I listen to music, it's usually when I'm doing something else and that doing something else isn't staring straight ahead at the screen watching the video that goes with it. It's like something actually totally unrelated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, so I actually, a lot of the time I don't recognize musicians. Yeah. Uhm, and so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, like, I just don't find it that interesting. I don't really follow the storylines, like I don't really pay attention to celebrity gossip or anything like that. So, it's just not really interesting for me to just see a parade of people that I don't really know who the crap they are or why I should care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I had the chair doing this, but then- No, uh, it's just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the last day says, can you guys talk about something that matters, like the fact that Jesus is coming back very soon and the whole world is going to suffer judgment? Uhm, alright, so let's move on then from that topic and let's move on to the big announcement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The details are somewhat coming together. Okay, first of all, mark your calendars now. July 27th and 28th. Two days. Woah, what? Two days. Two days? Well hold on a second, surely they're gonna kick us out of the venue overnight, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did a lot of stuff that was better than last year, but there is still a ton of room for improvement here. Uhm. So cool. I can't give you guys, but basically we're like, yea, we need to take it up a significant notch. If you want this to be more than just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming out of the- crawling out of the woodwork! No, it's D from Gamers Nexus, we had Jay's Two Cents, we had Barnacles there, we had Louis Rossman there, and we're kinda looking at this going, well hold on a second. Those guys came, they had fun,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of them, and I, you know, I'm not gonna put words in their mouths, but all of them expressed interest in at least maybe participating in 2019. So we're looking at it going like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need better food options. We need, we need, oh wow, we need a bigger space. So, guess what? We got a bigger space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no plan really for exactly how we're gonna fill it. Other than that we're just gonna take a lot of what we've done, a lot of new ideas from the community. Oh, they're getting so much booth space. So we're making every booth bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. Every booth better, and we are gonna have something to the tune of like 30,000 square feet or something ridiculous like that. It is going to be a gigantic


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Space. Uhm, I think I can say that we are going to have, uh, you know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna check what is in the blog because we have actually added a blog to the LTX


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a minute here. Uh, you're showing the duck. Yeah, that's fine. Not that it really matters. We'll be pl- uh, oh. Have we not? Have we not done it yet? Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] December 7th. Wow, this is- This is a really great website. Very broken. There we go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LTX 2019 and DreamHack coming to Vancouver. So cool! This page could be better, but don't worry, we're busy making the adventure. We don't have time to make this thing good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, huge partnership, thrilled to be partnering with 3 and a half world records. Okay, well, ah, man, I kinda, you know what, I'm gonna jump the gun a little bit. There's gonna be a BYOC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you never know, there could be like a slight seating rearrangement, or power constri- restrictions, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The venues and the costs and the, so this year, quite honestly, uhm, what, okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The directive to Colton. So the directive to Colton previously was break even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the event. We didn't expect it to make money. Uhm, but we didn't really want to lose a bunch of money. The directive this year is luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus Media Group and Linus Tech Tips doesn't really do a ton of marketing, and quite frankly, a ton of community engagement. Yeah. So this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is our community engagement budget for the year. Blow it. Blow it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, to be clear, we're aware of the Indie Zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, I'm not promising anything, but if we had any indie developers show up to, you know, show off their wares at LTX 2019, there would be a hard and fast rule that you have to have a booth that doesn't suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get it. You're an indie developer, and it's hard. We would be happy to help. But you can't just have a table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So VR had what, three headsets? So we figure the minimum for this coming year is somewhere between 15 and 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was thrilling to me that people showed up to LTX 2018 with like signed stuff from LTX 2017 wanting to get it like signed again, like where there's already that grassroots sort of movement to make this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of worth migrating for, and we know that Vancouver is not easy, but that's one of the reasons that we're announcing it way earlier this time around. You have literally seven months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a passport or figure out time off or whatever else. We're also doing it for two days so that it is somewhat justifiable to come up here. Uhm, Vancouver's a beautiful city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give it a chance. We're doing it in the summer for a couple of reasons. Number one is so that people aren't in school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember that applies to both, you know, younger people and older people who are also in school. Uhm, so we're doing it in July so that people aren't in school. We're also doing it in July because the weather tends to be absolutely fantastic here in July. If you're into hiking, if you're into food, Vancouver is a great place to go for food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, whether you- I mean, pretty much- I get so spoiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because living in Vancouver, I'll, whether I travel to, you know, Asia, or the US, or like, pretty much anywhere, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, food's great, but like, honestly it's not that different from if I just go to a, like, an authentic place back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spend enough time in Asia, where like, people talk about, yeah, food's cheap in Asia. I'm like, okay, there's a difference between food being cheap, and cheap food being cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had the most horrifying hamburger, and I know, that's what I get for ordering a hamburger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had just about the most horrifying hamburger in like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the worst. And, and, and, and even the more authentic things because the entire rest of the trip I had to eat more authentic stuff because I was with my wife and all of her family and we weren't gonna go to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The white people friendly place because of the one white, actually there were two white guys there, me and my brother-in-law. And any, anyway, we weren't gonna go there just because of us. We were like, okay, we're gonna make the best of it. And I was, I was actually far less open minded about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fine. Some stuff was really good. Some stuff was really good. There were exceptions. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Food in Vancouver is great. So, LTX. So don't think of it as like, you have to buy a plane ticket just to go to like a one day convention because A. It's two days now. It's two days now. And B.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cause like, I'm gonna be on stage a lot, both day one and day two, and the night of the first day, I got my Backstreet Boys concert. I heard about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, the concert was booked first. They moved the dates for LTX on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't have anything. Wow. Look, I never saw them when they were relevant. So. Wow. I wanna see the- look, look, look. I'll be there all day during the day. Your own- it has your name on it. All day during the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, so I'll go for the concert and then what I may do is come back for a bit, but I can't like stay up all night. No, you should sleep. I like have to be on stage and like meet and greeting things. It will probably make the show better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm probably gonna buy a BYOC ticket anyway, just so that hopefully I can get in and play some games and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is a partnership. We need to make sure that it makes sense for DreamHack and it makes sense for Linus Media Group. Because, you know, who knows, you know, what this kind of turns into or doesn't turn into. This is, I think, pretty experimental for both of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, whatever. It looks like it does work because this is awesome. So check this out. Every single one of the buttons is a little LCD display. You can't see that at all. So you can actually see me and Luke there. You can see what it's supposed to be. So you don't have to memorize anything and you can program them to do pretty much anything that you could want. So you just click the button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whether you want to, uh, you know, graphically, excuse me, whether you want to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Body help. Whether you wanna like switch scenes in a stream or whether you want to execute a macro in Adobe Premiere, which is what Taren uses the two of them that he has at his desk for, you can do it on the stream deck. They're less than a hundred bucks, they're available for Mac or Windows, and you can learn more at the link in the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they don't have it in our lower third, but that's okay, they'll learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also has a feature that tells you when your client looks at an invoice for the first time. Their mobile app has all the functionality of the desktop version so you can take fresh books with you wherever you go, and accounting can be confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] FreshBooks is all about helping with that. It's about making it simple. And if you have any questions, you can reach out to their support staff where you will speak to a real human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No phone tree, no escalations, no return calls later, just answers to help you out. And as we learned in part one of our PC manufacturers trying to screw you or whatever we ended up calling that. Such a cool series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just being able to talk to someone when you're frustrated can be, can make all the difference. So go to freshbooks.com slash when and enter when in the how did you hear about us section.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, part three is coming to Float Plane on Tuesday as well. Ooh, I'm excited. I'm really into that series. So, I'm going with the sweet Sriracha BBQ today. Savage Jerky! Their goal was to make a tasty jerky without nitrates or preservatives. That's not bad for you, but it's still full of flavor and spice. They've got 13 different flavors. My favorite is the maple buffalo bacon. Uh, original's great. The, uh, oh, what's the, what's the green one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mojo? Yeah, anything mojo is good. Mojo jalapeno is my favorite one. They also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, a spice rub. Their Carolina Reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Carolina Reaper. And you can use offer code LTT to save 10% at savagejerky.com. We'll have that linked below if you're watching the archive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the original article is from Reddit, of all places. Does that make sense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryzen 1000 and 2000 were built on Samsung's 14 nanometer low power process. Uhm, this was part of the reason that there was a 4 gigahertz hard cap on clock speed, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryzen, Threadripper, they are not overclockable. It's not that they're like hard to overclock, they're just not really overclockable. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So because of this limit in terms of their frequency, they had a really hard time making up any ground on Intel's processors, particularly in gaming, where single threaded, high clock speed performance is key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Zen 2 is rumored to be made on TSMC's 7nm high performance process. This could give us a 13% boost in clocks compared to low power's 4.6GHz, putting Ryzen 3000 over 5GHz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Along with this, we are expecting a 15% IPC improvement along with 8 cores per CCX, which should mean less, uh, communication between the interconnects, and faster memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if you were to extrapolate a 15% IPC, so that's instructions per clock, uplift, plus a 15% improvement in the raw clock speed, that could be a 30% improvement in performance. It is also...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Ryzen 3000 could be 10% faster than Core in single threaded workloads. This is according to though reddit.com slash r slash AMD stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So take it with more salt than is, was used to preserve this jerky. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, take this for what it is. The only times I have ever owned tech stock, uhm, I owned like a couple thousand dollars of Nvidia, probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pre-LMG. So this must have been about 8 years ago or something like that. And then I owned like, I dunno, $5,000 or something like that of OCZ. Shortly before they disappeared. No, don't, I was, I got out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Yeah, I got it. Nice. All right. I actually, I made a little bit of money on that stock and it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made money on Nvidia as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I pulled out because, well, okay, I pulled out because I was like, uuuh, I'm new to this, you know, I made some money, okay, I'm gonna like, call that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, OCZ completely went supernova, and I was like, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, whatever, it's all game. Then, I got into LMG, and it really seemed like a very obvious conflict of interest. Duh. So, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take this from people who are sitting where we're sitting. I have no ownership stake of any tech company. Actually, I don't think I own any stocks at all right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, zero. Zero stocks, uhm, and then do you own any? No. No. Okay. What tech stocks would you buy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember, okay, we're not gonna be experts when it comes to, you know, the, what is it, the dead cat bounce or like whatever, you know, like, like all that stocky,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the next three to five years, who do you expect to just kill it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of the actual tech, which theoretically at some point, although I can't quite find the correlation sometimes, theoretically at some point should affect the stock price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think so? Like long AMD. Short AMD is scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their revenue is great, their forecasting might look pretty darn good, but the problem is that, and we talked about this a lot,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back when we talked about AMD launching their 32 core epic processors, the long lead time on enterprise, where from the inception of a project like a supercomputer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the actual putting of CPUs into sockets could be a year, 18 months, 2 years. Like in some cases you end up actually building a custom facility for the damn thing before you even actually cut a PO for any computer hardware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the kind of scale these projects operate on. So, Intel's revenues might look really good because they have contracts locked in from before AMD was even remotely competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that situation can change, and if AMD can stay very competitive and or even be a leader in certain aspects of that space,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, okay, I don't want any of this to be interpreted as actually advising anyone to do anything. Please no. As far as I'm concerned, investing in stocks is gambling. You might as well put


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, 10,000 on black and spin the wheel, as far as I'm concerned, because there are so many factors, like, you could- I think there's definitely more to it than that, but like, yea. You could ha- well, yes and no. Because, look at, look at what happened to hard drives back in, what was it, 2011?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you can also push that percentage at the blackjack table. That's true. Like, you don't have to play roulette. You did use roulette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an example. That's true. I'm just saying. Be cut, like, war could break out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have been wars. There was the war in Afghanistan. But, if we're being, if we're being honest with ourselves- No global skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was not a war compared to the second world war. Like, the previous generation saw war


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the degree that the entire country is mobilized. You know, people who aren't working are kinda being rounded up to produce bullets in impromptu factories so that the soldiers overseas will have enough bullets. Like, it's different. It's very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just trying to say that no matter what it is, no matter how sure the outlook is, anything could happen. So it really is a gamble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually think Amazon is far from capped out, personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, well, they're even a hardware company. I think they have plenty of room to continue to innovate, uhm, and continue to take over the world. Like, if there's anyone who's gonna be the buy-in-large from Wall-E, it's gonna be Amazon at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think there's, I think there's plenty of room for them, especially because they've already gone global. They've got, they're opening up India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they are sophisticated. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Amazon, I wanted to put like a quarter of my net worth in Amazon like five years ago, which like it wasn't, you know, like a huge amount of money or anything, but it was like a big bet for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was around the time that instead, uh, we founded Lime's Media Group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know what, Linus Media Group has been, uh, worked out great. But, uhm, Amazon also wouldn't have been a bad guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they made it free to play, and there were hats everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was legitimately when I stopped playing. TF2 used to actually be really fun. The problem with free to play...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that there's no real, there's no real venom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, in the VAC ban fangs. Yeah. Because you can just use, do they still call them smurf accounts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you can just use smurf accounts and you can create as many accounts as you want and the ban just means nothing. IP is so easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna be like that, but it's kind of a different community in games where it's people who can afford to pay 20 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon there's gonna be Dota Battle Royale, like, well that would actually be kinda, that'd be kinda cool. Is that a thing already?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one improvement, like Battle Royale, I had a lot of fun playing PUBG, not Fortnite so much, but I had a lot of fun playing PUBG, like the handful of times I was able to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really long. Unless you could commit like three hours to a gaming session, you're not really gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] OnePlus's CEO. This was posted by Dr. Macintosh on the forum. Oh, the previous one was Princess Cadence and the previous one was, uh, Deus of Voltage. OnePlus's CEO tells the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or no, is that, sorry, is that the Snapdragon Tech Summit in Maui?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he said his company is working on both a new 5G OnePlus phone and 4G phones in parallel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He expects the 5G phone will cost as much as $200 to $300 more. Wrap your head around that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy cow. So 5G is coming, but it is not necessarily going to be mainstream. That is one hell of a premium. That's like a G-Sync addition to your phone. So this might not be the case for all new 5G smartphones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some might try to monetize their existing customer base as much as they can, just saying, well, you know, people will pay for it, so we're gonna price it at whatever, whatever we can. While others might try to gain market share by offering 5G connectivity at a cutthroat price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the challenges is gonna be building 5G phones for multiple carriers that can operate on diff- that operate on different frequencies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Lau expects that it will be even more difficult. Now this has gotten easier over time, as the, as the, uhm, the antennas that have been integrated into our phones have gotten broader and broader support for 4G LTE frequencies. But now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He expects it's gonna be even more difficult to take a phone from one carrier to another with 5G than it was for 4G.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. They haven't seen a solution that would cover many carriers around the world. Huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So OnePlus's 5G phone is targeting just one type of 5G network. The slower speeds but wider coverage area sub 6 spectrum used by EE. It's first carrier partner in Europe. In the US, AT&T and Verizon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And apparently, on the product level, it's much more complex than 4G, like a significantly higher level of challenge, especially millimeter wave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walmart has apparently dropped the pricing of their overpowered gaming PCs, I guess to just get rid of them. And then, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I guess to just get rid of them and either refresh them with better motherboards or just get rid of them outright. Fascinating. It's too bad because I actually think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was potential for them to, like, there were processes that seemed to be fine across the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yeah, I mean, that just didn't make any sense to me, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and hot glue, especially, cause you gotta remember too, I actually didn't test it, I should have tested it, I should have pulled it out. There's lots of different kinds of hot glue, some of them are actually designed to be quite easy to peel off, like closer to a silicone. There are lots of electronics that have hot glue on them. Yeah. Uhm, no, I thought you were gonna say, uh, you were surprised people were so upset about the USB 2 on the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, no, I was pretty upset about that. The front ports were USB 2. Come on, what year is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, bringing us to the end of the show, with the super chats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, do an LTT beanie for real, says Andrew. Uh, there will be lots more merch stuff. Stay tuned. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, stay tuned. Liam says, will this work? It worked Liam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the internet, no one knows you're a puppy. That didn't make sense at any point in this stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daniel says, when did you start growing a beard Luke? Was it when your razor got too dull?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis asks, Linus, is the 4790K still a good CPU or is it worthwhile to upgrade? And if you were to upgrade, would you choose Ryzen or Intel? I mostly game. I would hold on to it. Oh, but I need more cores for other stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that would be helpful to know. If it's just for gaming, no, I would stick with that, maybe overclock it a little bit. If you need to do other stuff, it depends what the other stuff is and how much of it you do. If you do a lot of other stuff and it needs a lot more cores, I'd go Ryzen. If not, then I'd probably go 8600k or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, SSAMJH says, I just bought X470 and Ryzen 7 2700X. So sad. No, don't be sad. It's a good combo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dave says, love LTT, wanted to make another plea for a retro gaming video team up with retro RGB. Uhm, I don't know exactly what we'd do, you know what's funny?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get, like, collab requests from other creators sometimes, and I got one quite recently that's like, I'm like, yeah sure, that would be kinda neat, but like, What would we do? What would we do? I don't like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Collabbing, just for the sake of cross-pollinating. It feels...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barshall Long sent $69, of course he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thoughts on Intel missing the 10 nanometer node.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for one thing, I do want to point out, they didn't entirely miss it. They do act- they are actually shipping 10nm products right now. A lot of people don't know this, they have Nooks, that do have 10- did you know this? That have 10nm processors in them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah. Yeah, so they didn't, they didn't mess it all together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's sort of in the same way that they didn't entirely miss Broadwell. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing about Intel is a lot of people like to talk about Intel as though Intel is a person with a singular desire and a singular work ethic and a singular, uhm, sort of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the one hand, this is a pretty big black mark on what is otherwise an astonishing record of technological innovation over the years. Uh, on the other hand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, it's less about Intel missing 10 nanometer and more about Intel missing 10 nanometer being indicative of where the technology industry is going over the next 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's funny because I remember standing, it was really weird, it was kind of like, it was kind of like a Jesus speech. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, uh, Raja Kaduri had just come back to AMD and I kind of feel like they did it on purpose. Like he was supposed to be kind of like the messiah to bring their graphics business back from the brink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he kinda stands up there and declares AMD's graphics business to be a software business. And remember, this was... Was he wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How programmable have GPUs become in that time? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's effectively what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's one piece of this, of the puzzle, of the direction that we are moving overall. And Intel missing a node, and your applications getting faster, and your graphics in your games getting better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, is sort of an indication of what is to come. Software tomfoolery, like with VR, the way that they will inject extra frames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To accommodate that graphics cards haven't gotten a lot faster. Or more, certainly not more affordable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Software tomfoolery may just be the way it's gonna have to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we could just keep pushing clock speed higher, it would be easier to compensate for some of the, some of the trickery that has already made its way into the hardware products. I mean, you look at what happened with Spectre and Meltdown. Anything that requires branch prediction, for example, which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dramatically accelerates the CPU. I mean, if you don't have good branch prediction in your CPU, your performance basically sucks these days. And now all of a sudden there's these exploits that are making it so that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's becoming more challenging to implement these features. I mean, SMT, there was a group that came out and basically said hyperthreading is insecure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just like, shouldn't use it anymore. Meanwhile, poor AMD. Aww man! We finally got it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So thoughts on Intel missing the 10 nanometer node. Uhm, I don't think that Intel, I don't think people are gonna stop needing computing devices and I think Intel is gonna continue to be a player in that space, whether it's through innovating their own things or acquiring others or just marketing the heck out of themselves again. Uhm, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The industry as a whole has gotten less exciting to me. I'm not gonna hide it. And I think that Intel is a symptom as opposed to the problem. I hope that answer is helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't read your username, but you said Fortnite is for children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Warboy, please make a video, we sawed this PC case in half and put it back together with the power of flex tape. Uh, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need a new phone, is the Vivo Nex worth it? I wouldn't go Vivo Nex personally, I would go with something with a better camera. Mikkel says, ordered your coffee! Should be here in a few days!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna be trying it the same time I am, because I actually haven't tried it yet. Really? Well, I don't really drink coffee, as you know, and I wasn't actually in office when they were doing all the testing of like the different blends that they concocted for us and stuff, but we had just about a dozen people here try it and like it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's fair. So I'll be trying it around the same time as everyone else. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, don't pre-order, but also, I guess pre-order, yea. Think of it more like supporting LTT and less like pre-ordering. Uhm, Jodels, hi, cheers, back to Norway. Uh, Qwerty asked, LTX after party? Wow, no idea. Uhm, we'll get back to you on that one. Cameron, time to fly up from Florida for this, that would be awesome. It's gonna be awesome!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't read your name because you're Russian, but what's the dream hack? Dang it, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dreamhack. Just Google Dreamhack. Yeaah. Uhm, Butt says, what exactly is going on at LTX? Lots of stuff. Stay tuned to Wanshow. We're gonna be talking about it. It's gonna be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus says best phone for gaming, GPS, hotspotting, bluetooth, and char- oh and charging all at the same time in hot weather without overheating. I still play Pokemon Go. Oh no. Uh, hey, hey Jake, that fan module for the ROG phone, that made a pretty big difference, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember. It actually helped. And actually, uh, OnePlus, we found when we were evaluating the Razer gaming phone, OnePlus does a great job of the management of their CPU's power states. So, can't recommend those guys enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Klemen says, will there be free madrinas coffee at LTX? Probably not, but knowing those guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Boysver says, Dear LTT team, Australia just passed a very problematic bill to break encryption on any online service. I editorialized the very problematic bit. This is extremely problematic. What? You have not, have you not heard about this? We probably should have covered this on the show today. It's kind of a big deal. Uhm, basically they are mandating backdoors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? I mean, I don't think they're gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if I was Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Amazon. Just don't be there anymore. And I knew what was, and I thought I knew what was best for my entire industry moving forward, I would completely pull out of Australia. Like, now. Let the Australian people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be super mad that they can't reach anybody on any services that they are accustomed to using and beat down the doors of their elected representatives and get this fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna support my favorite YouTubers sent $500. Wow. Is that the maximum you can send in a super chat? I think so. I have no idea. There is a max. That's crazy. Holy crap. Thank you. Thanks Anonymous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're glad to be your favorite. We're glad someone else wasn't your favorite. Uhm, Nick says, Thank you Linus and the Media Group. I like that. It's kinda like a band. Linus and the Media Group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For giving me the confidence to build my first PC today. Rock on, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I think that's pretty much it. Thanks for watching you guys, and we'll see you again next week! Same bad time, same bad channel! Goodbye! And we'll see you on Flowplain next week. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been cool, it's been the first time I think our community has had some form of competition in this way. So, that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he actually like push that number though? I don't know. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it was cool. It was cool. It was pretty cool. But like. Didn't they even make those available for sale at some point? I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? I'm not making that up for like, funsies reasons. I wanted to play the new Forza, so I was like, oh maybe I'll just finally give up. It's been long enough, I'm sure it's gotten a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, I'm not good at them at all, but I like playing racing games every now and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm so bad, like I'm so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they have some sins where you can feel it, but anyways, yeah. For more realistic racing games, I'm terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read the news article that the new update is maybe gonna just delete people's files. Brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know, we know there's some weird stuff in the Bloomberg article. We'll talk about that later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't need our charity, but they might need yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so one thing I noticed but wasn't good enough with electronics to really- Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and people started diving more into that, but it's like, it's already weird just at that level. And like, this is way beyond me, so I don't know, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one thing I want to add is that people far better at this stuff than Linus and I are noticing these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't fully listening to what you were saying because I was reading chat, but AJ is saying no, it's to match the length of the, lengths of the traces. I know, I just said that. Oh. I don't know. He's just trying to put his input in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys should consider, just for fun, having like a live overclocking panel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could even throw in, like, make it, make it weird hardware or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just go to town on them. That would be sweet. Like bring in some weird hardware and have a little like, overclocking thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's one thing that the computer hardware review community has had for a long time, is we've all been kind of friends for quite a long time, which has been cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just kind of interesting that these, it's, it's so, it's so much of a blanket

[Assistant] The FBI, CIS, and NSA not commenting is not really a denial, to be clear. Yep. Those are listed under denials, but that's not really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna drop a plug here real quick for my thing, is that cool? Speaking of servers and infrastructure, if you guys are into that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thought I was done hiring for a little while, but apparently not. Flowplain Media is looking for a system administer, uh, administrator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and what, I was reading that for a second. Uhm, and, and is looking for people to apply now. I'm posting it in the Twitch chat. I can't, I don't have access to the YouTube thing right now, but it will be in the description on YouTube later on. It'll be on the description of, of everything. So, feel free to apply. The form is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dang. It just, well it doesn't. Dang! It doesn't really cross over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I did that last time. So, Savage Jerky, as you guys know, they've been on here a ton, uh, they have a whole bunch of different awesome flavors, 13 to be exact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of their different, uh, jerky, including bacon, which is, I believe, what you're going for right now. Yeah, maple buffalo bacon. Uh, they also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and spice rub. I stole some of that last week. Ha ha ha ha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, their hot sauces, oh it says right here, their hot sauces are so good, Luke and Linus took them home. Yeaah. So we don't actually have a like display bottle right now. They're really good though. The last one that was here was uhm, ah, what is it called? Jalapeno mojo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember the exact name of it, but something moho. Uhm, anyways, it's really good stuff. Their jerky is made with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal to create a snack that is full of flavour and spice that isn't bad for you.

[Assistant] Because you don't anymore. You don't anymore. And Windows updates all automatic. They try to barely touch it because people used to complain about it all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not just like a file or two. Apparently one user is claiming to have lost 220 gigs of data after updating. Like, phew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rollback not restoring the files.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion it's worse than it deleting the files in the first place. Oh yea, way worse. Way worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to be clear, Goodbytes is constantly pointed out as being a hardcore Microsoft fan board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay. If there wasn't, if there wasn't the data loss, I will throw them this bone. If there wasn't the data loss, if you were, if you were able to recover your data with a system rollback,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty much. This does actually sound like a decent update. Yeah. Dark theme is cool. The phone app thing is cool. The SwiftKey copy-paste cloud thing is cool. Uh, but yeah, I kinda need my files. So, shoddy not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be fair, the keyboard, battery, trackpad, and speakers are all only included because of the top case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's YouTubers who have made careers out of trying to find ways to like forcibly repair Teslas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are some legitimate concerns in both of these areas. Yes. To defend them a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Electric guitars can be, uh, the pretty- electric guitars. It's my day today, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just on point. Electric cars can be a little bit problematic if repaired poorly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, so can normal cars. Explosions and stuff, right? Like, I dunno. This doesn't seem super hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But generally with most countries laws, if the owner of the item is repairing it, they're taking personal liability for the repair. And if you pay a shop to repair it, that shop is taking liability for the repair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not- I don't- I don't know. Honestly, I'm sure it has happened. Some dude tried to fix his Ford, and then when he failed he brought it to Ford, and Ford was like, what the heck, dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. But that's fine. Oh you're talking like a repair happened on a vehicle and then it blew up or something and then Ford got in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This argument has been brought up many times. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally I don't think it's a valid enough reason to take rights away from consumers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I clicked the button. We're live. We're live. And you did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaaah! Welcome to the WAN Show! What, hey, come on, welcome in, guys! I'm manning the, I'm manning the computer today, I've never done it before, I'm very excited. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna do the next one? And, well, we have two more. And, uh, the Intel Z GPU, it supports ray tracing. Sort of. Sort of. One of them does. We'll get to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're just out here trying to screw up the ecosystem, you know? I don't know how, I don't know what I think about this. I'm very confused. Anyways. You can get your thoughts out after the intro! Boom! Look, I did it. Yay! That's you. No, that's you. That's me.
