[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you shine a snapshot of the most clear still of that frame at your eyes, then turn off the backlight while the pixels are all shifting. So this is on an IPS type display. And so you do get some overshoot artifacting. Uhm, so I talk in the video about how the character model and the text above their head


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because you're seeing the beginning of that transition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna detect what way things are moving that way. But the, well, that's not new. That's not new. What's new is just that the image, the main image, is super clear and that you can do it with VRR now. Which they couldn't before because, I mean, man, like think about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Backlight strobing with variable refresh rate means that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to drive the pixel change differently according to the different colors it's shifting between because all the transitions are different speeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, you have to drive them at different voltages depending on for how long that frame will be displayed, because it could be different from one frame to the next. Like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it looks like they've cracked it. Uh, I do think, personally, just having seen some of those motion artifacts, that I would prefer the OLED approach, even if the motion clarity isn't quite as good. But Nvidia seems to think that for competitive gaming, their solution is going to be the better one. Uhm, but yeaah, you know, it all remains to be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm. So you'll have to have... Yeah, you'll have to be on Nvidia. Yeah. I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh. You guys gotta do some blind tests. Well, we can't, cause they're different sizes. So his is 4K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, 32 inches, 31 and a half inches or something like that. The one that he likes better. And 240Hz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm gonna have less latency from that in addition to the monitor refreshing more frequently. Uh, Ploof's a better gamer than me. Like, it's not close. He's, he's a significantly better gamer than me, so maybe it's one of those things where I need every edge that I can get. Uhm, I also found that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having not gamed on a small monitor, like not, like really tried, you know, like it, like it just started, it just started happening so well. I was like, oh yeah, I like, I got kind of into it. Um, and I haven't really done that in a long time. Like my monitor at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know Plouffe plays a lot of more scenic games as well though. Yeah. And when you- Can be nice for that. If you're not talking competitive, if you're talking immersion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, the topic we're supposed to be talking about right now is AI things at the show, so why don't we talk about the AI monitor? What the heck? I would like you, without looking at chat, I would like you to try to get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I genuinely have no idea. It has some kind of neural processor in the monitor itself. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will give you a hint, it is nothing to do with image quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's a hint? What does MSI do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's so frustrated, this is great. Okay, why don't I tell you before, before you look, before you look at anything. Why don't I tell you the RGB element, and then I'll see if you can guess the rest. Okay, sure. Okay, so uhm, using...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using their AI processing that is built into the monitor, it's not like an external piece of software you run on your computer. So it's in the monitor. Wait, just one sec, does this have to be web connected then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the bottom of the monitor that can, that can mirror your health bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what it does. It monitors elements on screen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's no way that'll help. We're gonna have to have, flip in a camera. You're gonna have to have a dedicated camera. It doesn't always solve the problem. Like, plugged into your computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pointed at your freaking screen and your hands. Doesn't always solve the problem. Well, if it's pointed at your hands and your screen. There's still ways. It's, it's gonna be better. Yes. You will be able to, so they're gonna have to have their own AI that checks for any motion or any key press that doesn't correspond to what's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they are within- So you can map hack a little bit. Yes. And then have a monitor. Yeah. That can check from your minimap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bit lower key. Hopefully I don't get sick for two months this time. Yeah, uh, maybe just, just the basement this time. Nice. But, uhm, oooooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double the peak brightness of the TCL, which you saw. Whoa! Double ten thousand nits peak brightness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double the local dimming zones of the TCL. You saw 40,000 dimming zones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, oh, Dan's, Dan's messaging me. Uhm, oh, speaking of, uhm, speaking of things that we could do the whole, the whole time, uh, without talking about, uhm, merch messages, let's do some merch messages. Oh, is that what he was doing? No, that's not what he messaged me about. Uh, Dan, I don't know, I don't know what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, I, I don't know. Uh. Uh. Oh, it should redirect. It should redirect. It should be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope. I just don't know what it is. I can send it to you. No, I was just using Google login before. Uh, yeah, I was using both. But, I can send it to you. Can you just- Okay, well, fine, whatever. Uh, the point is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pop up for, you know, your friends or your mom who's watching. Be like, hi mom. Or you can have producer Dan read your merch message and either forward it to someone at the company who can help find an answer for you, respond to it himself, or curate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want me to read you one, or do you want to get logged in first? Seriously? That's the password? Well, gee, I guess I don't blame myself for not remembering that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing at the top. He's so bothered. I like to scroll. You know what, I'm not gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, now that Linus is talking about the service remote, like how to edit the, the, the, the dimming timeout and stuff like that, now LG's gonna lock that down. I'm just like, guys, I can't not cover cool tech because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not the first time that we've covered, I don't remember, but there have been times where we've covered something really cool that was like kind of underground and like, and then it's gotten patched out, which like sucks, but that's what we're supposed to do is like cover cool stuff. Anyway, the point is, even with the service remote tricks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were compromises running a TV as a monitor. I suspect the newer ones would have less compromise because now LG is competing against much improved Q- Quantum Dot,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TV sized if you're into that sort of thing, but have the creature comforts that are associated with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think most of them don't really have anything more legacy, okay, so that point's a little less valid, but having a, having a, an OSD, like an on-screen display that is, uh, more designed for, for desktop use, that's easily accessible, like there's, there's just, there's things that are nice about having a monitor instead of a TV on your computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presenting at CES were hundreds of companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, some of them are just things we don't really cover, but a lot of it ends up being not really what you would expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They claim it'll do three stakes in 90 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, his poor head is gonna explode. How, how did they do this? You might ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what, so what they do is they, they punish the model or that they punish it for taking any longer than it absolutely has to. So for every second that it takes, it gets punished and then it gets punished based on user feedback on the quality of the meal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they've gotten it far enough that it should be pretty darn decent, but then what's really cool is that they use machine learning to tune it to your preferences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it knows how thick the meat is, it knows what kind of cut it is, you, you enter that, and then you basically go, yea, I want it done medium rare, and it'll cook it medium rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you will fill in feedback and go, that was basically blue, that was disgusting. And it'll go, oh, okay, so you actually like your steak done well, uh, let me deal with that for you. And it'll, and it'll cook it well the next time, according to your preferences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they talked about, this part isn't done yet, but they talked about having the ability to have the device know where it is and go, okay, yeah, I'm in Texas. So like, medium is blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? Versus, I'm in- Woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you put them in this, like, clamshell thing, slide it in vertically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a server blade. And then it like, it like, cooks the steak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then sears it, you can tell how much sear you want. Then like pulls off, lets the juices kinda, you know, do their thing. There's a drip tray. The whole thing, you just pull off the tray things, they're magnetic, so you hook them in the dishwasher. Theoretically, you could cook a steak dinner. How thin were these steaks that they cooked in? Uh, about like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't actually cook anything at the show, so I want a review unit before I'm going to accept, you know, everything they said is gospel truth. But I also do understand how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I kept asking, okay, what makes it AI? And it's like, well we have an algorithm. And I was like, right, but what makes it AI? And they're like, our algorithm. Right, but your algorithm. What's AI about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I'm interested, I think CES is interesting. It was a big TV show this year. Yeah. And for a long time, I was really bored by what was going on with TVs. Yeah. They were making them thinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's, like it's ridiculous and like especially what LG was doing with their OLEDs for a long time where they'd be like, like this thin. At the top!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then have a giant caboose. It's like, who do they think they are, my wife?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chalks. Sure, I mean going from, but going from here to here was a lot more meaningful than going from here to here. To paper. And especially from here to here, right? Like the, that TV that I've got in my theater room right now, the TCL, it's like this thick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And who cares? Do you notice that when you're watching content on it? No. No? Of course not, because that's ridiculous. And then there was the- the Bezel War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was kind of, kind of before that, kind of at the same time as that. To a degree, having thinner bezels, I would say is a benefit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also think that there's a certain point you reach where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It probably doesn't matter that much and for, I, I still, you know, I think for, for a show piece,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna have like a bezel-less TV or something like that for an art display or something. Sure, yeaah, absolutely. But in your general, you know, $399 at Best Buy. Most people aren't gonna care. $799, $1299. I don't think, I don't think you need that at a certain point. And then there was the resolution war. 1080p, yeaah, not the be all and end all, but it's fine for most things and 4K is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the vast majority of people out there. Very, very good. Indiscernible from retina resolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, you know, for years at CES, we were looking at, you know, world's first, uh, you know, however many pixels per inch, world's first 8K display, world's first, and I'm trying to remember, we definitely saw ones that were higher resolution than 8K and we're kind of asking ourselves, okay, forget about the content, let's assume, you know, upscaling gets perfect and we can watch any kind of content on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There wasn't, there wasn't a clear, there wasn't a clear use case for it, right? And I don't feel the same way about the brightness war because once you've experienced


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, because, because that's what the world is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not about having a super bright image. That's not right. If that's what you've seen before, then it's not being handled right by your device or it's not been mastered properly. Uhm, but we are nowhere near, even now, even with the 10,000 nit TV that I was talking about from Hisense, we are even now not at the point where it is, it is similar to, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually here, here, look, look, look, look with me. We were, we were standing outside the convention center and it was kind of approaching sunset and one of the, uh, one of the hotel towers that was like a glass tower was kind of catching a reflection of the sun that was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the world that has a sun that shines on it and sometimes it reflects off of things. And I kind of went, okay, Andrew, how many nits do you think we would need to get there? Because it's something that our eyes can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hand process, and it's something we're going to have to achieve if we want HDR content to be like looking through a pane of glass into the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was like, you know, hard to say, but a lot more than 10,000. Which is one of the reasons why, and I agree, like it was bright, but it was natural, and we're not quite there yet, and that's one of the reasons that I am into the brightness war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bring on 15,000 nits. Bring on 20,000 nits. Not because every element on the screen that is, you know, white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Key on-screen elements where you're trying to capture, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the, the glinting of the sun off the top of the waves, or, uhm, or, you know, a reflection in, uh, you know, on a polished, uh, knight's armor or something like that. Uhm, in order to accurately reflect that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and I think that what we're going to see is we're going to need ambient light sensors on TVs that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before, they would always just trash the image quality. Yea. I don't, like, I, I, I would hate it. They're pretty good on phones these days, though, so maybe they've improved a lot on TVs, but we're gonna need that, because you're gonna be sitting in a dark room and it's gonna hit you with, you know, 20,000 nits, your eyes won't be adjusted for it, and that's gonna be a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna need perfect blacks and we're gonna need like crazy, crazy high peak brightness in order to account for all the different environments where the TV might be used in order to really get that experience and make it feel more lifelike. Cause that's what it does. It increases immersion. Did I fire up Lord of the Rings when you were over as a demo fellowship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did we look at any of the, like, outside boat scenes? Yeah. Okay, yeah. Like- Specifically the one where they go by the statues doing that. Compared to any other display that I've watched that on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so much more natural. And now you're telling me, okay, I can have another 5,000 nits to, to, to really make the, the, the sun feel like sun. Yeah. Not white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here for it. Yeah, absolutely. I'm excited. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what am I supposed to be talking about right now? Oh yeah, right, things that were not AI. So Samsung's micro-LED, the wall, is better than before. They weren't really giving any specs, which was extremely confusing. Not only did they not have any displays up, but no one at the booth knew anything. They knew sizes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I could see it being like, if I was to consider buying one, it would be for, like, Smash Jumps. Like, for the badminton center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it'd be like, uh, you know, we're gonna have a little cantina, not cantina, more like a canteen than a cantina, like a cafe, like a little, like you'll be able to get like muffins or like whatever, like, you know, kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like if we could make a steak in 90 seconds or whatever, and then grill some veggies in another, if it can do a steak in 90 seconds, I'm sure it can do veggies in like 40 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Like I see no reason why a small commercial, not really a kitchen, but like canteen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and okay, apparently it's three minutes for a ribeye, which people are saying is still stupid fast. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no idea if it even is commercial grade, to be clear. Maybe it's not rated at that, for that kind of like duty cycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe this is a, is a personal appliance for just bougie, like, executives or whatever. I don't know. But I definitely want to check it out. I want to know if there's any validity to what they're claiming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think was off the record, but it felt like too much detail for the video. Uhm, so the 5800X 3D, they've been producing for a couple years now, right? And in that time, they've had a lot of dyes that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz, uh, hey, I mean, waste not want not, right? So 250 bucks gets you a chip that doesn't hit the same clock speeds, but AMD is claiming, but we haven't validated this yet,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't necessarily need more core clock speed for that, so they're saying that gaming performance should actually be quite similar to the 5800X3D. So I'm, I'm pretty excited for that because there's this enormous install base of AM4 systems out there, and if all they've gotta do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to keep up with the latest generation gaming GPUs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really compelling. I'm here for it. I like to see it. I just thought it was really cool that we were seeing extra support for that platform. I mean, realistically, AMD's main focus was their 8000G series chips, which are pretty much 7000 chips, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The top two have like a neural processor on, neural processing unit in them that AMD didn't really have any clear idea of what anyone was gonna do with yet, like there's no real software that runs on it at this time, that, that a general consumer would care about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but theoretically, you know, workloads will come and it's much more efficient to offload to that compared to even using the GPU on them. And it's the GPU that's really special because they had demos. Obviously they were using frame generation and upscaling them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, I don't want this. Give me more CPU compute. Why are you wasting die space on this crap? Now I'm, uh, now I get it. If we, if I'd known that this level of integration was gonna give us AAA gaming, yeah, at low, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1080p, if you're lucky, right? It's running at a lower resolution, upscaling to 1080p. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'd known integrated graphics was gonna reach playing AAA games at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably would have been a lot more on board with it. It's freakin' awesome. And it finally buries that category that you and I have both been trying to kill for the last ten years. The entry level e-waste graphics card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And okay, sometimes you have an older machine that you need to put better graphics in. I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't buy an entry level card. Buy used! Get, get, get a used card that you could also just plug into it and would also be cheap. Okay? Don't!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, oh boy, here comes chat. Oh no, I have a GT510, I don't know, okay, alright. Oh no, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use an entry level card to prop up my 4090. It's a great seg pillar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, look, look, look, look, Raging Azaru. 1660 Super is not the problem. I've never had an issue with that. I'm talking like GT 1030s. Stuff that is just manufactured waste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't we jump into, oh, here, hold on, notable, non-AI, okay, I already talked about Wi-Fi 7 being amazing, there's the new AMD card with 16 gigs of VRAM, I can't, man, Nvidia's lineup, once again, seems to be just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I talked about this a fair bit when they launched the 4060 series, right? You've got the 4060, uhm, 8GB, the 4060...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 16 gig and the 4060 Ti, I think it is, or is it the, no, the 4060 and then the Ti both had 8 gigs and then the 4060 Ti 8 gig, or 16 gig, that's right. Where the 4060 was like, dog slow, and then the Ti was fast enough but didn't have enough VRAM, and then the Ti 16 gig was way overpriced. You know, like it was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entire line-up is just designed to extract more money from you. It's like so blatantly obvious. They just won't, they won't quite give you enough at every stage. Like it used to be you could get kind of, you know, what was pretty much the whole experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With 12 gigs. And I get it. It has a 192-bit bus. So if they wanted to strap more RAM to it, they would either have to do some kind of like, you know, some of it would run at half of the bandwidth or something, or they would have to double it entirely. They'd have to do 24 gigs of VRAM or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you step up to the 47ETI Super, which has 16 gigs of VRAM, which is nice, but is an $800 graphics card. Then there's the 4080 Super, which is a great 4K high frame rate gaming card. I was playing the new, uh, the new Call of Duty, Call of Duty Modern Warfare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can we not name things like this? I freaking hate it. Uhm, so I played the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and even without upscaling nonsense, it was, and I shouldn't say nonsense because it's getting really good, even without upscaling, it was over 100 FPS at 4K. Like it looked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the one kind of reasonably priced one, it's like, well, hey, look at that Achilles tendon right there, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially last gen GPU technology now. So even if those consoles can't dedicate their entire 16 gigs, cause it's shared, right, to VRAM


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a PC, it is very clear that that is gonna, that those kinds of overruns are gonna happen and they have already been happening. So they, they released this card for $600 that is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in a nutshell, voice actors are upset with this deal because they wanted more. They didn't want, you know, fair compensation for their voice likeness to just be AI'd. They wanted to do their jobs. They wanted to voice act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because their previous body of work is not necessarily enough to just extrapolate what their future, you know, uhm, characterization of, uh, or what their future performance could be. And that's fair enough. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the position of the union, they're basically like, this is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deal with it, essentially, is how I read this. And, I gotta tell you, I uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that Nvidia wanted us to include in our booth coverage for them, uhm, that I basically was like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, was a demo that you've probably read about, or, or s- or even seen, uhm, that- that other places have covered. Uhm, where you would- you walked into a virtual bar. This was the, uh, the chick at the bar demo. I think I saw some of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with AI generated voices or not, but if you walk up, you can interact with the barkeep in any way you want, essentially using, uhm, I forget if it was chat GPT based, but it was some kind of large language model and have natural


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use this in extreme finger quotes. Uh, natural conversations. Uhm, there's, there's a lot of issues I have with this. So first of all, I told Nvidia like, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had enough controversy last year. I don't need 2024 to be the year of Linus promoting voice actors losing their jobs. I just am not going to talk about this for that alone, but also here are my concerns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you know the AI voices in the finals? Yea. I wouldn't even say they were that good. Because in the finals, you're not expecting it to be natural, right? It's an announcer. It's an announcer, which is kind of a style. Presenty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas, you know, if you were to talk to this bartender about, uh, and they're expressing concern over your, over your dead dog, and you're on your way to like, you know, John Wick someone or something, right? Like, there's, there could be- It's a video game. Yeah, this sounds very plausible. Who knows? There could be any tone to this conversation, and it was, it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that good. Uhm, so that's, that's a concern because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get it? Like I can see where we're going with this, and I do think that we'll probably get there at some point where the idea is that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the, all the, you know, people who are getting laid off in the games industry right now can start indie studios and create gigantic worlds populated with vibrant characters using AI. You know, like I, I, I, I get the kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pot of gold that's supposed to be at the end of this rain blow, right? Uhm, where the games industry is struggling so hard right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not even, like, it's not that. And I, I do feel that other coverage, either, you know, they kinda got lucky on the prompts, or they just, I don't know, like, they don't talk to people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something, I don't know, I felt like some of the coverage of it just was not representative of the state of the tech right now. And then the other thing for, for me is that I just, uhm, I felt like it was a little, I felt like it was kind of tone deaf coming back to the state of the games industry right now. Like as I was sitting here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to Luke, I was, I found another round of layoffs in the tech industry. It wasn't game specific, but there's been at least a couple rounds of games industry layoffs this year, or this week. Unity, was that this week or last week? Crap, I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do show coverage, right? Which is generally more positive in tone for us, like we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not evaluating it. I don't think there's any reasonable expectation of like, uh, like an objective, rigorous evaluation. We're showing forward-looking technology demos and, you know, it's supposed to be exciting. I'm not excited right now. Oh, Twitch. Twitch was another big one, which isn't- Oh, Discord. Right, Discord. Discord was the one I saw while I was sitting here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Icky, uhm, to be, to be like, you know, hype manning, uh, hey, look how no one's gonna need, oh, and it also had, uh, like, real-time synchronization of the animations, so, you know, hey, who's gonna need, you know, animators or, yeaah, uh, or voice actors, woo, let's gooo, and you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On paper, it sounds good. Like any small team of four people could build a giant open world game. Or whatever. But I actually have what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we need more games right now. Oh yea, I actually do agree with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] astronomical volume of games and, and the limited attention that people can possibly have for them and, and the potential for these kinds of tools to make them samier than they already are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toward the end just runs out of money, obviously. They run out of the ability to continue to kind of expand this world and create more missions and content. And I uhm, and so, you know, I look at tools like this and I go, oh man, that would be, they would have been able to do it. You know, I, so freaking, I don't know. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like this divisive segue to our sponsor for the show. The show is brought to you today by Wicked Christians. Yeah. Uh, here we go. Thanks, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cracks are not good for you. Especially when you see them on your headphone cushions. But don't worry. Wicked Cushions offers crack free comfort for all types of headphones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They, uh, they have little custom, like, WanShow logo designs on them. These are super cool. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give wicked Christians a shot, give your headphones a new life, we've got them linked down below. Alright Dan, you ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, no, I think you should be good, cause you have the five five eights? I think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five nine fives. Oh, five nine fives. Yeah. Ah, five nine eight. Oh my goodness. Five nine five, yeah! You're supported. Which one? Five nine fives. Yeah, this one right here. You're good to go. Five nine five. I will actually buy these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've all got the cooling gel, but do you want 90s black?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that looks freaking awesome. Okay, no, no judgment if you like the black camo or the regular black or whatever, but I'm a 90s boy. So I, that's pretty, yeah, that's pretty irresistible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is a business you and I talked about like a thousand years ago, and now fortunately we don't have to do it because Wicked Cushions is doing it, so that's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, we came up with a killer business idea today. Just like randomly. We were working on our review for the Fairphone. I was talking to Jordan about it. Like I gave him all my notes. The lab gave him all his notes and then we were having like a three way meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just kind of talking through, okay, kind of what's the angle going to be here? How are we going to do the intro? What's her title? Like that kind of stuff. Elijah's yelling at you. Don't spoil the idea. No, no, I won't spoil the idea. I know it's ours. We need it. Um, but it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty, it's pretty cool because uhm, unfortunately the review of the Fairphone is not going to be super positive. Ah, yes. And so we were kind of thinking about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alternative solutions, and we came up with something that's kinda neat. Uhm, but that's all I have to say about that, for now. What do you wanna talk about next? Oh, the eBay thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right, right, there's a thing. Okay, yes, Dan. And then the eBay thing. Yeaah, then we'll do the eBay thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? You know what they did recently is they shut down old Gmail accounts. So maybe that's- That's a worked-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, Elijah's saying they removed the free version of Google Workspace last year and gave people time to upgrade or migrate, and I guess that's it, it's over. Didn't make it. That's rough, but yea, Luke's right. 3, 2, 1. Multiple copies, yea. 3 copies across at least 2 different locations, and what's the one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The types of media ones kinda. Multiple copies. Yeah. Yeah, one off-site, that's good. Alright Dan, hit me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's the auto, auto brightness, uh, auto brightness dimming nonsense. So, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Power draw does matter and it's for more than just, you know, energy star efficiency ratings and stuff like that. There's, there's only, there's only so hard you can, you can drive these things. And I think that in the same way that GPU manufacturers try to limit the power draw of power virus applications like Furmark,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't think TV manufacturers actually want you pushing, cause when you, when you display, you know, all, an all white, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like an, like an all white window or an all white screen. You're essentially driving every single sub-pixel at maximum power and that is going to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, it's gonna like microwave you at a certain point, and I don't mean that literally. I mean, we were, we were at a demo in, uh, in Samsung Display's booth. So take it for, with the grain of salt that you need to take it with. Uh, but what they had was their QD-O LED.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to LG's W OLED, and this was, they said both current gen, and the scene that they had was, uh, uh, a candle burning in the middle of the display. I would say it was probably about a 10-15% window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had thermal cameras pointed at both of these displays. Now, I don't know for sure that they didn't have an insulating material on the back of the LG display. Like I can't, I can't prove that. But assuming Samsung display had any integrity whatsoever, it was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two of the same image playing at the same luminance level on an LG. They didn't say it was LG, but it was obviously LG because it was W OLED and nobody else makes that. So on an LG TV and a Samsung TV. And the LG TV was running so hot that I couldn't touch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm trying to remember the exact temperature, but it was, it was over 60 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they claimed that if they left it running for long at the surface of this TV was, was, could burn you. Yes. And they claimed that if they left it running long enough, it could reach like in excess of 70 or 80.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Stuff like that. Uhm, so to, to answer your question, why can't we just drive the whole panel at 100% brightness? It's because we can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a whole, it's a whole thing. It's a great video. Go, go, go check it out. Uhm, but one of the, one of the things that, uh, he had to do was deal with cooling the bloody thing. Uh, we also saw that at, oh, what are they, Kronos, I wanna say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kronos camera. Let me, let me just check this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kron Technologies, these guys. Uh, we did a, we did a tour with these guys a number of years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we did a tour with these guys a number of years ago, and, uh, they do high speed cameras, which,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they have a controlled room with zero flicker, uh, LED lighting where they can do test footage and test their cameras.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those lights are like DIY water-cooled because they're, you know, big geeks and watch our channel and stuff. And there, there, there are, there are peeps. Um, but it's super cool. And I can't remember if that ended up in the tour or not, but it was definitely one of the highlights for me was seeing their water-cooled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Water-cooled LED lights so that they can get it bright enough in this room to shoot high frame rate, uhm, footage. Very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, you know, uh, okay, like I'm trying, I'm thinking back to our home PC when I was growing up. Right, like there was one computer in the house because, you know, everyone didn't have their Chromebook for school and their phone and, you know, and a gaming desktop maybe in the room or whatever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, very, very little. Uhm, I think that there's probably cases where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There could be use for it, you know, like public library. Okay, I need to use the internet at the public library. I use my RFID card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with the ubiquity of, of cell phones and mobile network connectivity, I, I, I absolutely recognize that there are people who still rely on public libraries for internet access, but I think that it's a lot less common than it was in the, in the early 2000s. Public libraries do a lot of other cool stuff though. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely not as much of a necessity for, for as many people. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, you know, door locks and stuff like that, but that's not really, um, not, that's not like computer access. Um, I, you know, I, I would be super down for, to have an RFID chip like in my finger or something like that. So, you know, every...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just like every time, you know, or if it's in my palm and then there's just like, uh, just, you know, an app on my phone that when I'm holding it, it's just like always authenticated for everything and just as, you know, tied into my password manager and uses that, uh, what's it called again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what's that, what's that thing called again? The Rabbit. Uses the Rabbit R1 to just automatically enter passwords whenever my, you know, my, my RFID chip in my hand is present or something. Like if we could, if we could automate stuff like that, man, that's, that's, that's game changing for, for consumer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not multi-user access, so I wouldn't, I wouldn't need it for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure, I, you know what, I have to, I have to admit, I'm not like hyper familiar with the Bible or anything like that, but I'm not familiar, uhm, with any kind of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Issue with, oh, people are, Mark of the Beast. Okay, hold on a second. Now I, now I gotta Google this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mark of the beast. RFID chip in your... thing. Okay, the beast coming out of the sea is like a leopard, with feet like a bear's. Okay, now hold on just a minute here. What? Stamped image of the emperor's head on every coin of the Roman Empire. Okay, this is clearly gonna take a little bit longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not- yeah, I'm- I'm cl- I'm clearly gonna need a little bit more- Oh, okay, hold on, hold on, Elijah's got me. Hey, hey, uh, yeah, nice name, bro. Uhm, you a prophet? Uh-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, revelations, 13, 15, here we go. And I was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so the image of the beast might even speak and cause an uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bloggers said something mean about eBay because of a litigation issue that eBay was having. So eBay had several employees who harassed them. In 2019, seven


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Began sending David and Ina Steiner harassing messages as well as disturbing packages including live cockroaches and spiders, a pig fetus, a funeral wreath,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pornographic publications were sent to a neighbor's house under David Steiner's name, and furthermore, three of the employees flew from California to Boston


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I probably butchered that. With the intent of vandalizing the couples home, breaking into their garage, and placing a tracker on their car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...who were implicated in the matter were not charged, including then-CEO David Wenig, who instructed eBay's then-Chief Communications Officer Steven Weimer to take Ina Steiner down after she criticized his outsized compensation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weimer then instructed, uhm, I don't know, Jim Bach, Bach, Bach, the Director of Safety and Security guy, instructed him that he wanted to see her burned down and to do whatever it takes to make that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, all seven of them? Really? Yeah. Well, I mean. I mean, it depends. Did, did, did the prosecutors go to their houses? Send them fetal pigs? Put trackers on their cars? Like, is that- What the f-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] eBay's not just some random, this, it's not like, man, this was like, yeaah, this was in like the early days of eBay, when they had some like, weird people work in there, it's like, this is like four years ago!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it sounds, it sounds so improbable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That if it wasn't for the fines happening and the admissions of guilt, I still would say, you know, there's probably a bit more to this story, you know, it's a plea deal or it's this or it's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes you wonder, you know, the kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just outlandish stuff that has gone on over the years, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, uh, jchrist08 says, uhm, I forgive you for having the mark of the whatever. And if I recall correctly, they hired a PI who found out that it was eBay because they were tailing them one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's that eBay's paying the penalty, I think. Yeah, so they're, they're getting their, yeah. That's wild. I, I just, I hadn't seen this. Wow. Unreal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's a good thing they weren't in Canada because then having them tailed might have been, you know, violating their privacy. Do you see that wild thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, uh, yeah, uh, Quebec police said, hey, you can't just like upload footage of porch pirates taking your stuff because that could be a violation of their privacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're innocent until proven guilty. It's like, yeah, I guess they could have been just protecting that package from someone else, but like, yeah, I know, right? They're like, yeah, you need to report- Doesn't Canada have, uh, filming on property laws?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can film it. But they're saying you can't just release it publicly, you should give it to the police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. Well, alright. Okay, we have new lounge pants, uhm, available now at lttstore.com. They feature...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hanging around, around the house, or any situation where maximum comfort is your goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just gonna pull this up, they're, they're $34.99 available now on LTDStore.com and, uh, this came up in the pre-show, if you have any questions regarding sizing, that's right, we have standard and long sizing, woo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you gotta do is check out the size guide. We've got everything from XS all the way to XXXL. And if you click the size guide, you can see not only the inseam lengths and sort of the heights that they're designed for, but also how to measure these things to ensure that you will get an excellent fit. Uhm, also,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, you know, kinda stretchy as you might expect. I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get a ton of use out of these. We are also...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're also giving a last chance here, reminder, to pick up our CES 2024 Team t-shirt. Sales end January 13th. Uhm, this mainly came about because we've had a bunch of people complain in years past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we wore these shirts in the, in all of our coverage of CES that weren't freaking available on the site. And so this time we were like, okay, fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then if you, if you want our cool team event coverage t-shirt, then fine, you can have one too. All you have to do is pay for it. Uhm, so those are, those are gonna be, these are a pre-sale. All shirts will be printed following purchase and then, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna ship them. Here you go. By the end of this month. Nice. Okay. Uh, this is, yeah, this is a digital reference only, but that's exactly what it looks like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one last thing. Uh, we have deals on remaining stock of WAN hoodies, short-circuit hoodies, and Swack-its.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We apparently found some additional inventory buried at the warehouse and they're 50 bucks each until they're gone. This is the last chance to grab any of these three items. They will not be restocked. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that was, what was that? Wan hoodie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Short circuit hoodie and swag. And swag it. That's not to say we will never do another kind of similar style thing ever again. But those ones. But those ones will not be returning as far as we know. Uh, never say never, but it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, in all seriousness though, I mean, we've got, uh, we've, we've got, you know, pictures on the site of people wearing them, so. Oh yeah, yeah, there you go. I, I, if you're gonna wear them without underwear. Then a lot. Then you're gonna have some, you're gonna have some meat print. But these are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would the tummy have scales and then have, like, like this, like it's just, what is, what is going on right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but if we're not paying attention, if we're just reading this, yeah, there's like a dragon sitting there or whatever. I- thank god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By Nvidia and streaming software companies working together to do all the encoding client side and then just allow Twitch to ingest the various resolution streams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually think it's pretty cool. It is pretty cool, but Twitch talking about this as a feature is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That last bit is the fact that this whole thing is just obviously unsustainable. Yeah. So building new features basically amounts to figuring out how to offload more of your processing to your users. It's like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, but if you, if your card, if, if, and this is basically Nvidia, like, unlocking functionality that already existed on their professional cards, just more Nvenc streams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Unity got hit really hard. Is it really Unity if all the people are scattered to the high winds? Hey, got em.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking in the, in the, uh, in the executive staff meeting a few weeks ago about how like, we need to, we need to change our messaging internally a little bit to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's- It's hard out there. Hard out there. And so, you know, everyone's gonna be- Everyone's gonna be- The economy's rough. Money's not really flowing like it normally does. Yep. And so, you know, if we want- if we wanna be sustainable, we gotta- We wanna not do layoffs. We have to understand that we need to work harder for every view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to work harder for every screwdriver sale. We need to, we need to, we need to, we gotta get hungry. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that money's not flowing freely anymore, with interest rates being what they are, the way that, you know, it's a funny thing, like, you know, ooh, inflation's, like, you know, not bad anymore. It's like, right, but all the inflation that, like, happened, it didn't go away, like, everything is still more expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, did, did your hourly wage go up to match it before? Okay, so then this problem hasn't gone away at all, just because inflation's leveling out. That's like, actually not how that works. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google is a fifth of them, almost. A thousand. Twitch, there's Twitch. Okay, I have no idea what branch is, but I'm sure it's something. There's a fair amount of these I have personally heard of. Oh, this is cool. Yea, you can filter by industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what Intel, TIDAL. TIDAL laid off 10% of their workforce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rivian lost some. Cruise 24%. Spotify 1500, I forgot about that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh here, hold on, why am I sort by this? Oh, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and another bad news, Valve has cracked down on a couple of fan projects recently. Uh, they asked the developer of Portal 64, a demake of Portal playable on the Nintendo 64,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Valve explicitly allows the creation and distribution of games based on its IPs in the Steam Subscriber Agreement, including games like Black Mesa, which can be purchased on Steam, but notably, the creator of Black Mesa received explicit approval from Valve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gary Newman, creator of Gary's Mod, speculated that Valve may have taken action simply because the game wasn't derivative, but a full copy of their existing game, including all of their assets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, discussion question here is, is Valve right in enforcing a certain boundary around their IP? Is this a fair line to draw? I mean, I, I do think it's, it is reasonable. It's just more that Valve has always been very permissive, and so this may be coming as a bit of a surprise to these folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a little frustrating that given that I've been aware of at least Portal 64 for quite some time that they didn't say something earlier on in the process. That's kind of all I really have to say about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, video games no longer the biggest entertainment medium in Britain. Okay, you, you thought this one was really interesting for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm missing in the notes here, and I didn't see in the Rock Paper Shotgun article, and I'm gonna check the gamesindustry.biz one, is, uh, What is now the number one? What is number one? Yeah. Yeah. I don't actually, I don't see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, yeaah, no, I don't, I don't see it. So maybe, maybe someone knows. Like music, uhm, movies, video streaming, like I, I don't actually know, but hopefully someone can let us know that. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Framework has disclosed, uh, and I need to disclose my investor thing. I didn't have it in the stupid Asus sponsored CES videos. Uh oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The attacker used an email impersonating Framework's CEO to convince the accountant to share a sensitive spreadsheet associated with outstanding balances for Framework purchases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Framework has already notified customers whose personal information was leaked, including full name, email and the balance owed. The company reportedly became aware of the breach yesterday morning, roughly half an hour after it happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Framework says that Keating consulting employees with access to Framework customer information will be required to complete phishing and social engineering attack training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, discussion question says, disclosure, disclosure, disclosure. Are you confident in the way framework dealt with this issue? Uh, I, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna recuse myself. So we'll have, um, Dan and Luke discuss it while I go to the bathroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently it is. Yes. Life is short and have an affair. They even still have the same tagline. Why change it? The original extramarital dating site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 million members. There's no way those are all real. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny cause extra marital sounds like, like, super, extremely marital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It grabbed a big update. This is continuous. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but Luke won't always be here. Because I'm gonna be the one to win the streak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know about that. Ah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be me. I'm gonna win. How do you think that's gonna happen? I mean, I moved to flight for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we, if we made a video about it, it stood out to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched Adam's video on these cool flip back VR controllers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tactility says awkward chips. That's, that's not bad. Yeah. Uhm, so that, that was pretty cool. Uhm, I wasn't that into some of their accessories. They have a little, like, mouth cone with a little spit absorber so that you can be less loud when you're in, like, VR chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a Superchex from the 90s, so not a Superchex Pro and not an original Chex, so Superchex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a strong preference for head heavy, overall light rackets. Uhm, so they're heavier at the head end versus the bottom. Uhm, and that's a little bit better for attack, it's a little bit better for generating power when you're driving or smashing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that kind. Badminton rackets are not involved in that. And as for the overall lightness, I find it helps with defense. Uh, just to be able to, to move the head faster in order to hit the shots back over. Uhm, so it was an Asterox 99 was the one that, uhm, that I quite liked and then I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget what the rest of your question was. Oh, I don't know, Yumo Pro Shop. They're local, but they also have a web shop. They're shipping super expensive because they ship in Canada, so, I mean, I get it. Which is how it is. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to get down to Richmond when they're open, though, so I tend


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess we'll open them. They're from Origin PC. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That reminded me of something from a previous merch message. They were asking about cool stuff that wasn't AI. Micro OLED displays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That used, like, silicon deposition rather than inkjet printing to achieve crazy densities. I'm talking 3500 pixels per inch. Crazy bright. There's this company, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they acquired them for around two hundred and eighteen million dollars. And, aw man, so they had a ten thousandth nit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe it was micro OLED display. That one didn't have the same density because it was done using the older


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like printed style of, uh, manufacturing. But these, these new like, like deposition ones, they're not as bright yet, but they're saying they'll have like a fifth of the power consumption and once they can get the brightness up, man, these things are gonna be flipping crazy for AR and VR displays and stuff like that. I'm very excited.

[Assistant] LMGSouthie in the chat says, oops, maybe shouldn't have left those on Wenset lol. Who is LMGSouthie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Selfie? What is that? Oh, is this just, is it a handle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I actually didn't know that. Is that on Microsoft or is that on AMD? Probably AMD I would think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like there used to be, uh, like, like files that you could just add new versions of Windows to and it would just install and like probably work perfectly. Uhm, I, uh, are you, are you sure that you can't just force an install?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are saying they didn't know that in chat. Uhm, Win 10 and 11 drivers will work fine 99% of the time. People are saying, like, yea, if you just, if you just run, if you just run the Windows 10 and Windows 11 installer, will it just work? Cause that was my experience the vast majority of the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would definitely, I would definitely start to look at liability for, uhm, personal information sharing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it should, it should, if you did it on purpose, it should basically be the end of your company. If you said you wouldn't. Uhm, like you, I just, I don't really, uhm, I don't really understand why it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This constant game of, you know, wrist slap and go back to doing it. Wrist slap, go back to doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sat on ass for 30 years, 25 years or whatever it works out to, just has made no sense to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it gets easier. The first six months is, from what I've seen so far, the hardest, at least until you get to teenage years, which I've heard are very challenging but I'm not there yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just that level of dependency is, is really, really tough. I'd say, I'd say the biggest thing is, uhm, be, be consistent. Set expectations. Uhm, set expectations with, you know, the kids. Uhm, if you say you're gonna do something, do it. And,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, be realistic. If you're not able to do something, you know, be upfront. Uhm, if you say that something needs to be done, then hold to it until it is done, because otherwise it's just gonna be a fight every time. And you know, it's the, it's the same with the spouse. You gotta negotiate. You gotta, you gotta compromise. And it's the same with work. You've gotta set expectations. Like, look, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, I can't be there. If the answer is, you know, well then you're not gonna be eligible for this promotion, then you need to set expectations with yourself and understand that you have a balanced life that is not gonna be 100% focused on career and that's, that's the choice you made and by the way, it's worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that, I think they might have gotten an email or something at some point. Maybe gotten on a call at some point. I, I'm not that involved in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh, sorry. Uh, Dan, it's helpful if you leave the one we're talking about up and don't archive it yet so that I can- I thought I did. Oh. I don't see it. No, it's archived. Someone archived it. I didn't. Oh. Alright. Must've been me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally, normally I leave them up. Anyway, yea, I like to refer back down to them. No, you're good, you're good. No, no, no, no, I'm looking at it now. I'll be more mindful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How feel the MAC address channel doing in terms of, in terms of value to LMG? I mean, I, I think it's been a really interesting, uhm, study, case study for us. You know, can we build a channel that isn't just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot that we have learned, there's a lot that has gone really right, uhm, there's also a lot that's gone wrong, you know, it's not, uh, I think you might have noticed, you know, the, the release schedule is a little bit erratic, uhm, and that's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no single point that we can, that we can look at and go, okay, well, you know, here's, here's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's a lot that's good, there's a lot that's not as good, there's a lot we've learned. And no, it hasn't helped my personal relationship with, you know, anyone at Apple, that's for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a basic baby monitor was all we needed. We didn't go video or anything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I don't consider that to be a competitive edge guarding thing. You know, I've always taken a very similar approach to MrBeast where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My advice might not be as good as his. You know, he's clearly been more successful than I have in terms of attracting eyeballs to his content. Uhm, but I, I, I'm open with it. If anyone asks me anything, I'm always happy to give the best answer I can. Sometimes people ask questions that I can't answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, we talk lots about sort of business philosophy which uhm, you know, sometimes does great for us and other times I feel like bites us in the butt. Uh, like I think our, I've talked a lot about how I think our overall approach to transparency ends up harming us more than it helps us. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not gonna change though, it's just, it's part of the DNA, like it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as for like writing and workflows, like I, I, actually I shared a little while ago our, our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, laws of writing good videos. Like that's, that's it. That's, that's what we do. You can, that's a formula that you can take and you can apply for sure. I don't remember which Wanshow it was in, but there's that site that you can search Wanshow transcripts or something like that. So you could probably, you could probably find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, Colton's been wanting me to do a course, like a, like a formal course FOREVER. We wouldn't even have to publish it on a third party site like Skillshare or whatever, we could just publish it on Floatplane, but I just, um, I haven't gotten around to it, and a big part of that is I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I feel like people really want to know that, like I'll tell you, just, I don't know, ask me and we'll get it sorted out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's mostly like context. I think that, uh, no disrespect intended, but a lot of the time, uhm, you know, the tech community is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And started recording a bit where like obviously I was gonna be in his video and it took me a full probably five minutes before after I had like appeared in his thing to realize that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should probably invite him to be in ours. That I was in the middle of shooting. Not because I meant any disrespect or because I didn't want him in the video. Focused. I ju- Hyper-focus, right? Like I don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, so I realized before he left and I, and I, uh, and I like kind of quickly came up with a way that even though my content was scripted, I had spent the first couple of hours in the suite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Researching, writing, and uhm, and throwing it on the teleprompter. So it's all written by me, but it's scripted. And I kind of figured out a spot where I could throw in sort of a natural looking conversation with him. And uh, fortunately I caught him before he left, but he could have easily left and I would have just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can be a little oblivious. If I'm walking briskly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't have a lot of time. Uhm, and it's, you know, if you can, if you can, if you can walk and selfie, you know, cool. Yeaah, let's, let's do it. Let's do it, brother. But like, uhm, you know, don't, don't try and do a product demo for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the conversation seems over, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you're not saying anything anymore, and I said, you know, have a great CES!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yeah, it's fine. Uhm, like I, you know, if I didn't, if I didn't like the attention, it's not like I couldn't just not go to conventions, it's not like I couldn't just not do this career anymore, like obviously it's alright, like I, you know, I like seeing the community out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, they'll ask, like, do you want everything roped off? I'm like, no, I don't want things roped off. I want it to look like I'm at a frickin' trade show. I'm at a trade show, am I not? Most people have enough of a clue to not walk up in the middle of a rolling camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you're another creator, and we have some kind of an existing relationship, by all means. Had that happen, and it was good. And I've done that to other people. In fact, I popped into Robitex's video, which he might have cut out because I made some comment about Epstein's flight list or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget why, it was like, uhm, oh man, what was the logic? It was like, well now that you're associated with me, you're gonna get dragged down into my, you know, chasm of cancellation. So it was something like that. Yeah, that's rough. He's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would harvest the fingernails from babies if they made our cars go faster. You know, like, there's companies like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Worldwide asks, is making a company really practical as an electrical engineer? Well, it depends what kind of scale you're trying to operate on. I mean, absolutely. We, we bought, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, they sell them, for sure, to other people, but we got these really cool, uh, custom PCIe gen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four risers, I think they were, were they gen 5 compatible? I dunno, they were really cool. Basically, there's like, a guy who makes these PCI Express extenders that we used in our 1U gaming systems for the, for the LAN center. Uh, we call, we called, uh, we called them out in the video. But as far as we can tell, it's a guy who designs these things and sells them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably an electrical engineer, or electronics engineer, which I actually did not know was a different thing until probably like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six years ago? Five, five, five or six years ago when I, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as for that login issue in the recent short circuit, man, it's freaking hilarious. That stupid loop login issue on, uhm, Halo Infinite, if you, if, if you're trying to switch accounts, it'll be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just none of this. That's an option. I mean, I bought the game on Steam, you know who I am. Uhm, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Teams one that we talked about last week is probably the one that makes me the most angry. When it logs me out, which I never asked it to do, and then I need it to go away right now and you can't close it, it'll just keep reopening until you re-authenticate. Also, there's a bug in Teams where if you click


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll, it'll prompt you for a text or for SMS or phone call. And if you click it right away,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think it was better before Google search got so much worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I feel like, uhm. That really does seem to be the core problem. Yeah, they, well, it's a combination of them trying to give you the result right under your search query rather than clicking through to actually, you know, read anything or give a visit to the site that the information was pulled from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, and just generally being less useful, like man, is it ever full of ads and sponsored posts and just, it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to even remember how good it was before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I know, there's no doubt that it's a huge problem and we saw this with the reddit uprising that ended up being not even an uprising at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not aware, uhm, I'm honestly not that big into it for future of FPS games, but what I will say is that I went home and played some more Alien, uh, some more Alien, some more Halo Infinite at home and was not playing as well, so I don't think it's purely that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what this could be used for. Uhm, especially if Thunderbolt gets to the level of ubiquity that I would like to see it at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as for being specific to BlueCPU and GPU, actually I do not think that is the case. It's software based.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now, it's only for Thunderbolt certified computers. Uhm, I think it is not impossible that eventually Intel could gift this to USB-IF the same way that they did the Thunderbolt 3 specification in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as for the GPU though, that is not Intel specific. You could have a different GPU in the system, no problem, and Thunderbolt Share would work exactly the same way it does now. Theoretically. It's all alpha right now though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't actually have any buyer's remorse. That's, I guess I'm just a really good actor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was, it's mostly a hook for the video. It's an excuse to talk about Hisense's, uh, potentially better TV. But here's the thing. Hisense's TV is not out. Yeah. Samsung's TV will probably cost many times what the TCL one did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, the fact that it's like my smuggled TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, before you, before you call me out on this, I don't think, I don't think a throwaway line in a video, like, doing show coverage of another TV that has better on paper specs, where I say, so this is what Byers Remorse feels like, is, I don't think it's dishonest, I think it's just one of those things where it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm playing a bit of a character sometimes in videos. Uhm, and I could, I could see someone being frustrated that they bought a TV in, you know, December, uhm, and then forgot about CES in January when all the cool new stuff is gonna get announced, but no, I'm, I'm not, I'm not upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want my kids to be able to find a community. I talked about this a little bit before how I'm deeply concerned that their entire peer group is gonna move away from the Vancouver area and they're gonna be left with nobody that they grew up with. And I gotta say, for me, uhm, hanging around with people I grew up with honestly hasn't been that big of a deal. Like I, I don't miss it that much. I'm kinda not really a people person anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but there are times when I'm like, oh man, yeaah, it would have been cool to stay connected. Uhm, and I would, I don't want them to miss out, especially if they are more people person-y. Uhm, I also want Yvonne to be able to cut back. I uhm, just because I subject myself to this forever doesn't mean that she should be subjected to this forever. I think that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's been a little bit of a renewed conversation around YouTuber burnout over the last couple of weeks. We saw Tom Scott hang it up. We saw MatPat hang it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, people, people have asked me before, I've had a lot of conversations about this actually. It's like, you know, um, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you keep doing this? Or like, uh, I'll talk to people who are relatively new to the game and they'll be like, yeah, yeah, I could do this forever. I'm like, yeah, well pace yourself. Um, this career is a, it's a destroyer. Um, it's, it's, it's a ton of weight, you know, just having that constant, um, scrutiny, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and especially once you reach a certain level, which, you know, obviously was the goal, right? It's to, you know, to win the game, to, to get good. Uh, but once you reach a certain level, like you, um, I, I always feel watched in public. You are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's not like weird paranoia, because anyone who's ever built a computer basically, uh, and no, not really, but when I walk around somewhere like a CES or walk around a Best Buy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, Jay stepping back for health. That's another one. So it's, yeah, it's tough. Um, I want Yvonne to be able to cut back. That's, that's a personal goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good deal on a WAN hoodie. I guess they used the, uh, credit from the backpack. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to think of any non-tech skills I have. I do like three things. I play badminton, which I'm okay at. I do this and I hang out with my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, no, I absolutely agree with you if you play a role, but I think that you could have much lower, I think you could have much higher response times and do a lot with cutting down angles and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, a huge part of it is preparation. If you start swinging, when you're defending, especially at a high level, if you start swinging for the defensive shot,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your opponent strikes the shuttle, you are too late. You have to be swinging already, and then they strike, then you reposition, then you hit. Uhm, so yeaah, reflexes is not enough. Not even close. You have to prepare ahead of time. And I mean, I'm sure any baseball hitter will tell you the same thing. It's like, it's not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of it is like, is, is mental. Like it's, it's got, it's trying to read the other player. It's like, you can't just rely on reflexes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess so? Or uh, LDD, so that would be Dinus, Duke and Lan. Oh, I've had that a couple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I arch- I archived, I curated this, but I couldn't think of an answer. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm usually, I'm usually expecting tech advice from the kinds of people who can give me tech advice. Like, sure, I've gotten lots of great tech advice from Wendell. But like, you walk into a room and you should be expecting tech advice from Wendell. So it's, you know, the hilarious part is, I can't think of what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me it was MSN Messenger, for him it's Minecraft. Got it. Works. Actually it was The Palace, if I'm being 100% accurate. The Palace is why I learned to type. And the reason was because people's messages were fleeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was, you had your avatar sitting next to each other, and as far as I could tell, I don't remember it anymore, but it was, maybe there was a way to see the history for the room. Whether there was or wasn't, it was definitely beneficial if you wanted to keep up with the flow of conversation. Especially because I'm a multi-message sender, so I will tee it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much for tuning in, guys. Uh, there's still a little bit of CES coverage coming. There's that BTF video that I talked about. You're definitely gonna wanna check that out. There's the AI roundup. You're definitely gonna wanna check that out. I think there's still some more short-circuit...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good thing the show's over. There's da- there's some Short Circuit videos coming. Uh, got a lot of good stuff lined up. Make sure you don't miss it this weekend, and we'll see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure thing. Hi DLL. Many of my peers are very pessimistic about the tech industry. Many layoffs, too much AI, etc. Where do you think the tech industry is going and how do you deal with pessimism in general? Layoffs and AI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Howdy DLL podcast listener here. Enjoy the call out to Computer Chronicles a few weeks back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which of your videos do you want to serve as a resource for future generations of techies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. Any updates on the laptop or shoulder bag? Would really like it for school as the backpack, which is awesome, is a little bulky for my load.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You put it in this charged chamber and it charges the base and you put your glue on it and then you basically like explode, uh, like the grass flock and then it all sticks in and points in one direction so it actually looks like grass instead of just like dabbing it on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable. Unless you go to England. I bought some stuff when I was in England, and it was like, wow, this is extremely affordable. It's almost cheaper to fly to England, buy your models, and then fly back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm okay, how about you? You had a nice day? I've had a- I've had an okay day. It sure looks nice. Tiring. Would you like a merch message?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, I can, I can, uh, ruin some of dbrand's money. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn it. Okay, uh, hi DLL. Can you talk about the early days of the forum and how you ensured a positive and safe community? Looking to start something similar to catalog and compile historical info about a specific place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I specifically remember somebody telling me unequivocally that it was absolutely going to be March. Was I being verbally ironic? Probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well not being March makes things a little bit easier. I don't have to lay awake at night stressing about it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So April. Yeaah. Maybe. It's still March.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hey Dalel, thinking about the potential of future tech or mechanical augments, humans may potentially be able to make their bodies in the near future. How far would each of you be willing to go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or like yea, a lot, a lot further behind. Second loser, twice removed. Yeah. Loser's cousin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I work at Wikipedia, found Wikimedia Foundation as a FOSS developer on Wikipedia. Are there any features that you wish Wikipedia had? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, wan.dll. Need a home security system. Ubiquity is awesome, but price is prohibitive. Unraid falls down on the GF approval factor, needing VPN to local network. Suggestions on alternatives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And if ubiquity is price prohibitive, then a hundred percent, this is a forum post and like a community has to figure out what it works exactly for your needs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Hey DLL, what's your opinion on the community porting Spider-Man 2 to PC? I know Linus' opinion on sailing the high seas but that's a different topic entirely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, DLL. Luke, have you heard of SPT? It has to do with Tarkov.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anymore in Curated, or shall I just start going through the potentials?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I got a response back from Nick Light about the ball caps. Well, that was fast. Very soon, the order is in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next question, when will computer pet bed coming out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is a, this is a weird one. What are your thoughts on algorithmically managed network switches like what Nile is doing? Have you ever heard of these? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a mechanical engineer, but a lot of my job has turned into software development. I enjoy it and I'm apparently good at it, but I feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a new one. That is a new one. I like that. I like this a lot. Have you ever felt external validation of your career choice from an unexpected person or event? Like some random person who thank you for a specific video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, DLL, Linus, you often refer to Final Fantasy 6 as your favorite games, uh, one of your favorite games. If SE were to remake it, would you prefer to have it done in AAA fashion, i.e. 7R or with 2.5D visuals, more akin to Octopath Traveler?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, as somebody who has successfully built and managed a tech-focused business. Common misconception. It is a media-focused business, but carry on. It's Linus Media Group, that's right. What advice do you have for individuals looking to start their own business in 2024?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LLD, but mostly Linus. Here in the year of our lord Tachet. Is it Tachet? Tachet? Tachet? I don't- I don't do the- don't do the foreign words very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeah, okay. Uh, uh, are you watching Canucks games now that they're competitive, or is it badminton hours till the end now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lineups you have built out your home network?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus, I guess as, ehm, as you've already finished your home network, are there any updates or changes you would have done? I'm about to finish construction on a new home looking to upgrade my current 60 Wi-Fi to 7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see, let's see. As someone who's gearing up to start a company, why are ethically run companies so rare nowadays? How do you instill company ethics in your new hires?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It explains so much. Everybody who's like, I do that, I'm like, are you English? And they're like, yeah, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you, you grew up there, is that right? My dad's English, I was born there and moved here, but, yeah, I mean I say doing the washing up and washing up liquid which always gets left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, okay, hey, wan.dll. Do you guys have any projects you're looking forward to in 2024 or any goals you want to accomplish? Projects? Yea.

[Assistant] Okay, Dan, hit me. Uh, sure, uh, have you considered making more apple leather products, like maybe a desk pad? Uh, ooh, that wouldn't be very good for a desk pad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the ceilings are a hell of a lot higher. And it just feels like a larger space. I did a walkthrough and a measurement in the, uh, the lab area, because I wanted to get a sense of scale. Uhm, and I didn't quite realize that it was longer than the lab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which kind of was disturbing for, uh, doing audio and speakers. Uh, absolutely insanely giant building. And then there's two of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, it was really kind of inspiring, I guess, to see this empty building that I know what it's going to kind of look like at the end of it and also had a part in stuffing things into the concrete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's really cool. Uhm, but it does increase the amount of stress. Cause I go like, ah, yeah, we'll do, we'll do 200 feet here and we'll put that one there. And you know, I'll get my tape measure out and kind of get a feel for it. Everything gets a little real when it's actually right. I better, I hope I did my math right.

[Assistant] I was saying to Chase, uhm, I used to have a CRT projector from an old university. One with the blue, green, and red tubes. Yeah, yeah. Get some of those. You know, 12 foot smash at CRT latencies. I mean, uh, beauty contest at CRT latencies. Uh, would be pretty sweet. Okay. We... How's that going?

Uh, community engagement with maybe maps or games or things like that, which seems pretty cool. Just keeping all the events going and moving.

[Assistant] I don't know, it should be a hell of a lot of fun. We found out that the server room is way too small. I measured it with Sean today, it's five foot wide, which isn't too bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's like 22 door access, you've got 32 speakers, 14 APs. I think it's probably like a couple hundred, there's 36 cameras. I guess we'll find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I calculated those in too. Unless there's another one in here for courts. I haven't looked at this in a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let me check for you. Uh, but yeaah, those looked absolutely perfect. Uhm, and they have a bunch of interesting features which make them really good for that as well. I believe like, uh, direct ingest or something like that. Yeaah, they can, they can just stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only have three of them. It's the ILXLR1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think the Panasonic ones are about $6,000. Yeah. Uh, if I look at my thing here, yeah, Showcase accounts, the Lumix BS1H was the one that you were looking at. Uhm. Yeah, these are half the price. Like, what, I have to get a little- Actually, the Lumix ones are $35,000. So. Oh. I was wrong, you just needed two of them for $7,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, doo doo doo. That is the Lumix BS1H, not Panasonic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So. Is it micro four thirds? Because we have a, I believe micro four thirds is like a multiple crop factor. Full frame. Oh. We've got a nice fast lens, it's gonna be nice and bright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notes, footnote 11. A commercially available USB to LAN conversion adapter is required. Yeah, okay. Yep, yep, yep, yep. We figured that out.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. I want the top one. You want the top one? I wanna know how it's going. Luke! Hey, what's up? These millennials are always on their phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. Cause he worked from home. Yeah. Ohhhh. So people bugged him less. No, okay. I got sick. Did you tell him the, this new spreadsheet thing's great?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have like, we don't have conversations and you also are allowed to make me do things? That's one of the caveats, right? Yea, but I try not to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. I can't remember, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times that you've been like, hey, I need you to do a thing, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's never been that disruptive, so it's all good. Alright, no, good. I got a chronograph thing for my watch, so I can just like, oh, you wanna, wanna talk to me? Okay, well, now I'm timing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put it back up. It felt really mean. I, I was doing a push for Luke one, one Monday and like I had to just flow state for eight hours straight. Otherwise it would have died. So I put that up. It's still a problem though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on in, apparently it's urgent then. That would break it, right? If I have to be like, okay, now I need to assess if you actually need to talk to me, but if somebody's watching, approaching me and I can just tap the top of my monitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can play it if you want. Let's see, uh, I need sound from you though. I think it'd be easier if you just did it. It would be better if you played it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, LLD. Thank you for inspiring the techie in me and helping me through my PC builds. You guys got a lot of questions about how to set up for success, but how do you deal with failure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it does. So is that very similar to the GH1? Cause I ran GH1s for years. So this must be like a box GH1? Maybe? I don't know. I don't know how they do their naming. Uh, what is it? The BGH1? I'll put that on my list as well. And they were two grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I think people do that on purpose. Linus, have you ever considered doing a line of ruggedized EDC tech items for tech or IT people? We'd love to, but to do

[Assistant] Can you stack screwdri- Sorry? Sorry. Can you stack screwdriver shafts? I wanna make a mega LTT driver. Also, if you ever bundle JerryRigEverything knife with the stubby screwdriver, can you please call it the stabby screwdriver? Oh boy. No.
