I... Is it gonna work? I don't know. Is it working? I don't know! How am I supposed to know? This is literally, quite literally your department. Hey. That's kinda true.

But it wasn't supposed to be. It was supposed to be Jake's department. We're live on Twitch. We're live on Twitch. Are we live on YouTube? Oh wow, oh my god. We're live on YouTube. Are we live on Floatplane? Oh. Oh, my God. We're live on YouTube. Are we live on floatplane? Oh. Oh. Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on. What's that? Hey! Woo! Okay. It's not playing, but that's, you know what? Yeah. Oh, that's reassuring.

Wow. We are live on three platforms at once. How many terms of service are we breaking right now one what are floatbladters well you know what i know we're already half an hour late but darn it we're gonna cut this and we're gonna do better we're gonna cut it yeah we're gonna come back we're gonna break more terms of service oh let's let's get out let's get a mixer account actually that wouldn't mixer lets you stream on other platforms do they let you stream on other platforms all right then still be only

one guys welcome to the wan show for the first time simulcasting to floatplane youtube and twitch tv we have never done this before pretty. Floatplane just got live streaming support. It's sort of. So it's actually had live streaming capabilities for a long time. But now it has a chat. Look at that. How howception is this? OK, so they got me in the corner like people watching on YouTube. They've got YouTuber Linus in the corner like people watching on youtube they've got youtuber linus in the corner over here and then there's like whatever there's the corner of me in the corner of the float plane they're like they're like watching through you can see the delay look at that baby heck yeah it's uh anyway so it's got i think what about like seven seven

second delay or it's it's for most people i expect it will be around 10 seconds plus or minus two, but there will be outliers. I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Anyway, anyway. So, do you want to tell us how much fun this was to get going? It actually wasn't even that bad, really.

We've had the live streaming part working for a while. If it wasn't that bad, why did it take so long? I mean, the chat and the... That was not Float not float plate's problem that was not full point's problem you're just gonna pin it right on jake aren't you no it's it's so um rtmp servers as far as we can tell yeah don't like uh what is it hold on wait stop hold that thought look at this the video quality is great heck i was just going to share that with the youtube people who are enjoying youtube live streaming quality enjoy that youtube people just jk we love you youtube people mate mate's over on youtube right

now wait mate what are you doing watching on youtube bro wow wow wow wow wow way to not support luke yeah so the guy that fixed it, thank you, was actively playing beer pong because it's like definitely after work. It's like 8.30. Yeah. So I sent him just, uh, in all capital letters, and he was like, okay, I'll try this. It's a good thing I'm great at this game.

Otherwise, I'd be super wasted right now. Good job, buddy. Thanks, man. You got it working. i'm great at this game otherwise i'd be super wasted right now good job good job buddy thanks man you got it working heck yeah terrible all right all right so we got a great show for you guys today um i think i don't know i haven't actually looked at the notes um windows 10 if you check for updates it's been downloading preview patches oops uh what else we got here leaks and the launch of the galaxy s10 not to be confused with the galaxy s9 my friends this will be totally different and two incredible things happen in china iphone sales were completely halted and they banned fortnite and pub g what

oh that's just awesome china you know why you gotta be no fun how are we supposed to play pub g on our iphones now let's roll the intro anywhere without a capital okay Okay. Maybe I made that account. Then who's manning the floatplane LTT account? Oh, that must be Nick. Probably. Yeah, I don't know. That's not a mystery, Nick. All right.

So why don't we jump right into our first topic today? Windows 10. You know, this has always driven me nuts have you ever been driven nuts by clicking check for updates in windows and it being like your computer's up to date and then quite literally three minutes later you'll get like a a downloading updates and it's like a service pack and you're kind of sitting there going how did you not see that what exactly is the purpose I wish I could swear right now we don't really swear on this show but what is the purpose of this button if it doesn't

check for updates well now they made it work too good. So according to Microsoft, Windows 10 has B, C, and D updates. And each is released once per month. These quality updates are smaller than feature updates like the October 2018 update that came with all kinds of great features. Oh, it was wonderful.

Which are meant to be released once every six months, usually in the spring and fall. We're kinda into winter now though. Oh, it was wonderful. Which are meant to be released once every six months, usually in the spring and fall. We're kinda into winter now, though. Anyway, it doesn't matter. So B is the biggest and comes out on Patch Tuesday, the second Tuesday of the month. These are the most important updates featuring new security fixes,

and they contain previously released security fixes from prior B updates and previously released bug fixes from prior C and D updates. Windows Update doesn't automatically install C and D updates on most PCs. However, it does when you check for updates. Maybe. According to a recent Microsoft blog post, this makes you a seeker. I'm a Quidditch player, sucker. Just because you're like, hey, I should have my computer.

You weren't going to try to ignore it. You failed. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. You failed. Okay, in the most recent, which I think is still only on Flowplane, the most recent PC Manufacturers Investigation video, that joke line, and then they put in the credits for the joke.

What was the joke line? I don't even remember this. I don't remember what you said, but you said something super punny. Oh, okay. Super aggressively punny. And they paused the whole you said. You said something super punny. Oh, okay. Super aggressively punny. And they paused the whole video and ran credits as if it was over. And it was like, joke writer, Linus.

Joke delivery, Linus. All this kind of stuff. And then joke support, Ivan or something. It was wonderful. I really enjoyed that. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, that must have been edited by pella that is a plus 1000 his sense of humor also i love it i i enjoyed it a lot anyways uh back back on topic the seeker thing so literally just wanting your computer to be up to date and like secured and more stable

which is generally what you would hope that means you you get labeled as a seeker, which is basically a beta testing program. Like, what? No. So wait, a beta testing program for B updates taking place on stable PCs. They have repeatedly said only advanced users should click the check for updates button? Except what everyone has trained everyone to do forever is like when you're doing maintenance, you just click the check for updates button. You check for updates. So what? If I click this on like one of the servers because I'm performing server maintenance on the weekend and I want updates because it's time to reboot them?

Nope. No. Don't ever do that. Now I'm an advanced user. Yes. Well, you are. But like. but like so you shouldn't be automatically oh this is fun so this could explain why microsoft generated so much hate within the tech community specifically like like there it seemed like there was a disproportional response to the whole

deleting files thing because normally that kind of thing can happen but it'll be among users who will like complain to their sister over dinner that like my stupid laptop my files are gone but it was like enthusiasts shrieking about it so apparently the people who had their files deleted by the faulty October update were users who click the check for updates button. That's insane. That's actually insane. Wow. So that could have easily happened to me because I was like, oh yeah, you know, I haven't really installed any updates, blah, blah, blah, lately, but I do click that button when I'm ready to install an update. You know what's interesting? Fascinating. I noticed, I haven't talked about this on WAN Show, I guess.

Have I? I don't think so. But I'm running Mint right now. Yes, you have talked about it. Not on WAN Show. Okay, yeah. So I did know this. So I'm running Mint right now.

I was running... That's Linux, by the way. Yeah. For the uninitiated. Yeah. I was running 8.1 Embedded Systems. I heard it's Mint. I loved it. But Embed but embedded systems it's not automatically

downloading updates i had it flight to not automatically download updates what made it so i had to switch to mint was i ran windows updates and then my computer restarted black screen nothing worked i could see my mouse but couldn't do anything anything at all try to recover the os nothing not gonna work Set it error every single time. Bad news bears. I switched to Mint to recover. Oh, I did Mint Live CD to recover my stuff. That worked.

I got all my files. Sounds good. Installed Windows again. Did updates again. Black screen again. Okay. Did Mint more permanently this time. Maybe it's because I checked updates.

This is talking Windows 10 specifically, but I did notice when I checked the optional updates thing, because I looked at it, there was preview. Oh, interesting. I didn't put that together until literally right now. The crazy thing about this is they have the Insider program. Yeah. Like, they actually have a well-communicated formal program for this.

Floatplane stream quality seems to be all over the place, in case you were just curious. So some users are getting literally, like, 23. Someone wrote they're getting 23 megabits a second down, which is pretty dumb for a live stream. If your connection can take it, oof. Yeah, then enjoy. But others are saying they have good connections

and it's looking pretty pinner. And mine, in fact, is looking a little soft right now. So it was looking really sharp before. I think AJ's in the chat. He's hanging out. He's looking at stuff. Yeah, some people really good. Look, look, look, okay?

You click the check for updates button. When you join Floatplane, that's basically a big check for updates button. It's beta, it's beta, it's alpha, it's alpha. It's very alpha. It's very weird that people are getting like monstrous megabit down. But it's a mixture of things that, right now there's no manual quality's it's it's a mixture of things that right now there's no

manual quality settings so there's a mixture of things that determine what quality you're getting including mine just sharpened up including viewport size and a few other things as well oh really okay interesting um someone just said they peaked at 32 megabits a second that is ridiculous i have no idea what's doing that but aj is aj is here yeah aj is the hero full hero mode um anyway we haven't experienced that before on any of the tests either what are you getting yeah i'm way i'm way under i'm like way way less than that like i'm receiving anywhere as low as like two, six, four. Yeah. It's a little better now.

Anyway, why don't we move on to our next news topic for the day? Leaks and launch. The Galaxy S10 is coming. And I am having a real hard time getting interested in another phone right now yeah because they're all really boring well and we just had a whole slew of them not just boring gal samsung was sort of my last hope for someone to not jump on this like weird cutouts and holes in the display bandwagon. Like, I don't know about you, but when I first got a webcam, so this was quite a long time ago, when I first got a webcam,

the mounting system for the particular one that I bought was not very good. And what happened was it kind of hung down a little bit in front of my screen, giving me, well, effectively, a notch. I thought it was stupid then i think it's stupid now um now i have seen some relatively tasteful applications of the notch have you seen the one plus 6t yeah the like little swoop i think it's a lot better. Yeah. But I am not a fan of the Infinity-O display that is rumored to be coming in the S10. I can't remember who said this, but someone wants to get... You know how we nicknamed the thingy a notch?

I don't remember who said this, but they said this should be called the pimple. And I think that's kind of hilarious. Oh, yeah, that doesn't look good at all especially the s10 plus like what the heck so i get it there's two things there but like even if if they made it like yeah i don't know it's just weird and useless and i don't like it like they could have just made the chin bar smaller again and just Just I don't know I just know Yours might not be a very popular opinion, but you actually spent some time with a pixel 3xl and you had

Your own experience with a pretty ridiculous notch. I didn't really mind it Please do elaborate. That's honestly pretty much it notch i didn't really mind it please do elaborate that's honestly pretty much it i didn't really care it pretty much never how why do you care because it doesn't have to be that way what's wrong with the note 9 samsung already nailed it they They already nailed it. It's fine. It's fine exactly the way it is. I don't think it's a good thing. I'm not saying it's a positive thing. I don't wish it was on all my devices.

It just doesn't really bother me. If they have to go that low, and honestly, Pixel devices, while I have enjoyed them very much because I really like stock Android, have never really been, other than their camera, have never really been the than their camera have never really been like the bleeding edge of what can happen with a phone fair enough you know what i mean software wise sure hardware wise no the bleeding edge is this my phone including a selfie remote that that is the bleeding edge. That is literally the only thing I use this pen for. That's pretty funny, actually.

Also that one tweet that I sent where I put a bunch of question marks on it. All right, well, why don't we walk through what's shaking with these phones here. I mean, there's some cool stuff. So there's going to be three versions, the S10, the S10 Lite, and the S10 Plus plus so the 10 and the 10 plus are rumored to be curved they are wait is this even like rumored is this considered oh yeah these are

these are maybe leaks I don't know whatever it doesn't matter sure let's call them rumors so the s10 is gonna have 128 or 512 gigs of storage that is a lot of phone storage making in my opinion micro SD expansion slot basically irrelevant so if we can move past needing to put sim cards in our phones like a bunch of chimps from you know 1998 at some point then we can do away with a tray that slides out of our phones increasing their water resistance it's going to be99 or 999 this is in pounds so I don't know how that translates usually the Europeans just kind of get fleeced on that conversion so it'll probably be equivalent in US dollars even though the

pound in last time I checked I haven't paid attention to the whole like brexit thing going on and what that's done to the currency but last I checked it was worth more than the USD the s 10 plus is to be 0.3 inches bigger and will have a 1TB version along with 128 replacing the, along with the 128 and 512 and go for as much as £1399. And then the S10 Lite will have a non-curved display, 128 gigs and it'll be cheaper at £669 so still pretty pricey but by the time you buy it on a two or three or contract or whatever your carriers offer you can have it pretty darn subsidized you could probably get it for like a couple hundred bucks they are supposed to include headphone jacks an in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner no iris scanner anymore they're doing away with

that the iris scanner it cool, but it's like, it's obviously a stepping stone. Like that wasn't going to be the way forward unless they could figure out how to make a super fisheye lens on the front of the, on the front of the phone, high resolution enough to read your Iris from anywhere. And that's, I don't know, maybe someday, but it's not realistic right now. The ability to wirelessly charge other devices is something they're calling PowerShare. Okay, have you seen this? Have you seen this? How they want to do this?

No. It's like, put up your phone. We're sharing power now, friend. I'm not even kidding. What is the point of that? This is literally the thing in my life that most often needs to be topped up why exactly do you have to like nfc photo share power now it's the greatest feature i've ever heard and apparently there's three cameras okay to be fair if it didn't add to the cost which like it's

gonna add to the cost but if it didn't add to the cost the ability to like kind of jumpstart someone sure kind of cool sure i guess i would probably have a battery bank on me sure but sure yeah but it's gonna add to the cost so like whatever i don't know um you know it's really interesting my i have not run out of phone battery ever since I got a car with Android Auto because there's such a good reason to plug in my phone when I'm driving. And with not even fast charge. I don't even use fast charge. I think it's like a 2-amp charger or something like that. Like nothing special.

But even with that, with how quickly phones charge these days, it's like kind of amazing actually because if I'm at 20% or whatever or whatever and I just drive somewhere for 10 minutes it'll be at 35 40 and Boom, I'm good for like a significant amount of the rest Yeah You just get little pop ups and it's nice because that can actually extend the overall life of your of your phone as well I'm not I'm saying that to the stream. So random little flow plane update while you do that We're at over 350 people live right now Really? The average viewer is getting 4.4 megabit per second. The reason why people are seeing like 16 and stuff

is because they're getting bursts. Got it, gotcha. Yeah, and actually 4.4 isn't that low for a stream, for the average viewer. Got it. All right, so. Most people don't watch at source. We do need to have manual selections though

so that people can choose to be higher. That would be good. When you're going to get high, it should be a choice. Alright. iPhone sales halt. I'm tired. Like, because this week was tiring? Yeah, it has been a tiring week.

Like, I've hardly even seen this guy. We're, like, kind of back to that thing where, like, the entire week went by and I didn't even see you. Yeah. What is exciting in Luke land? In Luke land? It's, like, the place where Luke lives. My snowboard showed up. Nice.

Yeah, that's cool. We got to go snowboarding. Yep, definitely um mine's super old it's from like when i was a teenager was i even a teenager yet i think i got it before i moved in with my mom so i was 11 i didn't get much taller my my snowboard was i was just gonna say i still actually have my snowboard i was around too, and it just doesn't work for me anymore The boots don't fit. It's not tall enough. I keep it You keep it just in case I need something

Insulting I okay anyways can you give me a luke update that's not insulting um i i don't have a ton i can't necessarily talk about some of this stuff uh i guess i can't say float plane things yeah um because because the rest of it's like my grandpa stuff and i just don't want um the float plane stuff is uh no that's still i guess i can talk about the problems. Sure. Okay. So I'm trying to get a place. I've been living in a basement suite for a long time. I've been trying to buy an accommodation of my own. Pretty nice basement suite. Yes. Yes.

But it's, it's an accommodation of my own. So right. Oh, Ooh, it's going down. All right. That's not great. Anyways. Um, and my problem right now is Shaw is the only ISP available at the place that I want to go to and Shaw's maximum commercial up or a

residential upload if I remember correctly is like 15 or 20 megabit per second up and I don't want to deal with that because I want to stream and stuff and Shaw has shown time and time again that they're not interested over the last many years they're not interested in increasing that has to do with their infrastructure being more tv based and whatever whatever so like it will never go up uh they just doubled their download speed for everyone almost everyone but the upload didn't go up at all yeah so you can get a connection that i think is what 600 megabit down and like 10 up? I'm pretty sure it's 600 down, 15 up. 15 up.

Oh, oh, sorry. 15. You know, it's funny because I have been on our commercial connection here. So gigabit up, gigabit down for so long. Like it has been. So we got fiber at the old office. That would have been, we've been in this building for three plus years now. So that would have been like four and a half years ago. And that

fiber was 150, 150, 150, 150. So it had been almost half a decade since I had uploaded a video to YouTube from a cable modem. Okay. So before I got fiber at my house, I have 300, 300 fiber at my house. Oh, that's great. Anyway, before I got the fiber in at my house, for some reason, I had to like transcode a WAN show or something like the stream broke in the middle

or something. I had to splice it together and then upload it. And I took it home to do it. And I clicked upload. And then I like sat there and i expected to just sit at my computer and finish babysitting it making sure that it went live and then i i checked the the the timer for it and it was like yeah come back in two and a half hours it's like what what year is it i was just gonna say it's like you go back quite a few years

in terms of internet and i was on their 300 down connection, which is now the 600 down. So I must have been 15 megabit up. Because that 15 megabit, that's one and a half megabytes a second. So to upload 90 megabytes is a minute. So 900 megabytes would be 10 minutes. So then something like the WAN show, which is now I think a 6.5 or 8 gigabyte file or something stupid like that. Okay, fine. Maybe it wasn't 2 hours.

Maybe it was an hour and a half. Doesn't matter. The point is that sucks! It's bad. And then you're going to have some fluctuations in that and Shaw is somewhat shared in terms of their performance. So if you were trying to do that in a high time, it's going to be slower. So anyways, I'm not down.

I'm not down at all with Shaw Connection. No, especially if that's the only option. Uh-uh, not going to do it. And apparently, Shaw in this building was like, oh, we're going to give five years free Internet 30 and basic cable. So Telus was like, we're just not going to go in there. No potential customers. So I'm trying to talk to Telus right now and be like, hey, there's some potential customers. Like me.

I'll buy two connections. Whatever. Just come on. Would you do it? Sure. Would you? Hold on a minute. Because my internet bill is over $100 a month.

Yeah. $300, $300. Okay. So the reason why I said sure right away is because I've literally thought about this scenario already. Okay. Okay. Okay.

So you would pay like 250 bucks a month. It'll be a little, it'll be less than that, but it's still about 200 bucks a month. Okay. You would pay 200 bucks a month if they were like, you know,

you need to find six people. Okay. And you could only find five. You'd buy two to get fiber into the building. Yes. Because. Would you buy three that we're probably getting to a no at that point because what I'm doing you have 900

megabits you could get like you know what you could do so remember that video we did okay sorry I know I interrupted hold that thought this is this is cool this is crazy because we're getting the 10 gig connection here you remember that video we did okay sorry sorry i know i interrupted hold that thought but this is this is cool this is crazy because we're getting the 10 gig connection here you remember that video we did with itel's bonding service you could bond your connection through a vpn to the office you could bond the connections you're so close physically to it that the latency hit wouldn't be that bad you'd eat like three milliseconds probably oh my god that would be hilarious you'd have gigabit at home would you pay if you could bond the connections for free because i wouldn't charge you to put something in the server room i don't care that'd be hilarious we could do a video about it what do i care you wouldn't even be using it half the time if that was yeah okay if it was just like for funsies no but if it

was like to get tell us into the building yeah sure you'd do it yeah all right interesting mainly because that contract would have a time gate on it and i would be able to not at some at some point yeah because okay my my issue is right now that place is actually a really good deal. Yeah. So that increased monthly would still technically make that place worth it. Sure. If that makes sense. That's the reasoning behind it. Got it. Got it.

Got it. If I had to get the other place I'm looking at, I would not do that regardless. Got it. Because it's not as worth it. I'm having fun. I'm having fun. But all good things must come to a pause. Not an end. The show is not over.

These are still good things. Let's tell you guys about... Moss Backpacks. This is the new one. Is it? Yes. Oh, I haven't been briefed on this. This is the previous one.

This was my briefing. And then this, this is the slightly even more older version of this one. But this is the one that I actually daily drive, so that makes it easier, I guess. No, that's the... Oh, this is the old that i actually daily drive so that makes it easier i guess no that's the oh this is the old grande wait is this bigger than mine i don't even know is that do you have a grande i don't know no i don't know if you do i don't have a grande i have a smaller one okay shut up anyways this is updated december 2018 this is the new grande okay that's the previous grande you can put that one away. Apparently it was so we could compare differences, but like... Nope, we aren't going to do that. Okay.

You can't buy the old one anymore anyway. So there's a pocket there. There's a pocket there. I use this pocket for my screwdriver, and I use this pocket for when I accidentally forget to take my microphone and my teleprompter remote out of my pocket at the end of the day. And I put it here so everyone knows, all the shooters know,us took they can't find it check that that's a fantastic pocket to have like dedicated to that one thing i want to point out i point this out every single time but just in case you haven't seen the show before the orange the orange is amazing it zips down more the orange makes it so that anyway like shiny reflective bright orange you can easily see into the bottom of here Yeah, I put my if I put my wallet in there

You can easily see that the wallet is there Yeah, you're all the virky bag was orange on the inside Yeah, I see if I go correctly and that's like that's that's key It's really helpful with finding speaking of key. I keep my USB keys in this zippered pocket in mine. That makes sense. I don't have these ones, I don't think, so that's cool, I guess. I might have to switch my backpack. I keep a mouse in here, but this one has the power feature so you can plug in. Which is actually really cool. What do you want, Jono? Lower third. Lower third? Well, you know what? Moss is cool. They don't care. They're down. Hey, you can save 25% using offer offer code linus tech 25 which is the same as the

percentage that you're saving i don't know remember i don't know what this other side's for but it's kind of like uh plasticky so maybe it's supposed to be for a water bottle in case you get a little leap i think so and then uh finally you've got boom a built-in battery bank slash charger doodad with type c and type a ports and mine has all this stuff but frankly i ripped it out because i don't really charge stuff in my bag but you can do that sure and then you can just put other stuff in the pouch some people love that functionality yeah i just i don't really care it's fine but i don't care so you can use offer code linus tech 25 at moss organizer.com until christmas oh it's 25 because it's 25% off and Christmas is December 25th.

So get this, get this. Sorry, I'm going to move our sponsor stuff away because this is going to get a little bit political. Oh. Okay. Apparently, there's a school in Vancouver that is banning candy canes because the red symbol and the J symbolize the blood of Jesus. Okay.

So I don't normally, like, get real... Is that even bad? When you go to church, don't you, like... Well, the point is that it's upsetting to people who don't go to church, not people who do oh yeah no no yes that's sort of like one of the fundamental you know blood of the christ and the flesh of the all of that all of that kind of so other people can't so other people are mad because candy canes are in the skew and uh if anyone who's involved in this decision is watching

i think you're an idiot i just want to throw that out there there's nothing wrong with wearing turbans there's nothing wrong with eating candy canes yep because it doesn't matter if you disagree you're actually stupid All right, why don't we move on to our next sponsor? This is something we can all agree on savage jerky is delicious it is I'm gonna have some teriyaki You want actually you know what I'm gonna go with some habanero buffalo sauce. I don't think I've seen that either It's been opened so someone got into it Colton was probably like, what is this? Probably Colton.

What is this? Or Jono. Savage jerky is made with high quality ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal of creating a snack that's full of flavor and spice, but that isn't bad for you. They've got 13 different flavors of jerky. I think this is a hot one. It's pretty hot. Like their sriracha bacon and maple buffalo bacon.

That's my favorite. They make barbecue sauces, hot sauces, and a spice rub. And their Carolina Reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper. You can use offer code LTT to save 10% at Savage Jerky. Boom. That one's good. Actually, it's not that hot. I like it.

It's just hot. It's not like crazy hot. Yeah. That's actually at a really good level of a really good doesn't overdo it if you like if you like spice but it's not also like to taste things yeah I think it's not a really good spot for that that's really it's really you've got the heat but like it's fine I don't think I tried this one before I definitely haven't hmm that's good used with buffalo sauce anything with with buffalo sauce. Like, have

you ever tasted anything with buffalo sauce on it that's not good? Actually, yes, unfortunately. Oh, what was it? It was a rack of ribs. You had buffalo ribs that sucked? Yeah. Not at our house. No, no, no. Those were wonderful. They weren't buffalo, but they were good. Whatever they were they were fantastic I just yeah, no that was not that there was a completely different thing Wow Who doesn't wasn't these either who saw that one coming? Yeah, I know. Well, no, these are clearly not ribs I think I don't think anyone just making sure I don't think anyone thought you're going to want it to ban candy canes You gotta make sure we're communicating these things properly. Oh, lordy.

Okay, private internet access. Private internet access supports a variety of VPN protocols and types of encryption and authentication, allowing you to dial in the exact level of privacy protection that you need. They've got apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and Google Chrome. What more do you want? And you can connect up to five devices at the same time on a single account so i don't know if this is against their terms of service but like when my in-laws went to china i was like yo use my account bippity boppity sign in on both their phones and drop them off at the airport cool beautiful yeah done didn't work the whole time while they were over there.

China's constantly in this sort of arms race with VPN providers. But they were able to actually check their email periodically, which is better than nothing. Their apps include DNS leak protection and IPv6 leak protection. They have an internet kill switch that will block all traffic if the VPN becomes disconnected. And you can check it out today at lmg.gg forward slash pia wan or also like this thing which is even worse yeah yeah we should we really still like it's possible he even set up the shortener now we should just

shorten that ourselves we should oh well it's just the graphic that's bad okay all right iphone sales speaking of china halted in china a chinese court this is originally posted by diehard on the forum and the original article is from reuters a chinese court i thought that was rooters until like two years ago i had never heard anyone say it's not rooters it's reuters you said reuters i thought that was literally a different website that i hadn't necessarily seen nope okay i don't know i just only seen it in text like i'd read any of it but i never i've i've heard it but i thought it was just a different website i don't really listen to video and i don't have a cable subscription so i don't watch like tv news i have

to explain to people all the time that i don't watch shows very often like i'm usually gonna do something instead and that's apparently super weird but all right well even me i'll like make like a family guy reference or something from like back in the first few seasons when it was really good and like everyone was watching it i don't know if it was that good it seemed good at the time it was pretty big then it was it was big it was at least big yeah and i'm like and you're like i'm just like i don't i just don't really watch shows i don't know so i take so much flag for talking like a valley girl do you even notice what okay on our on our typical videos okay where it's sort of mostly our subscribers watching, there's nothing.

There's nothing about the earrings. There's nothing about he's probably gay. There's nothing about Valley Girl speak. But when our videos get picked up by the algorithm and they start to sort of spread. A great example was the stealing tampons from the Amazon Go store. So it was hilarious because all of a sudden it was like going back 10 years in time to when I first started uploading

videos. And the comment section was super predictable. His voice is annoying. Yeah. My hair wasn't as bad then, so there weren't as many comments about that. It's worse now. And anyway, so there was one that recently that kind of managed to go outside our usual sphere of viewers that watch it. And it was the Walmart gaming PC. And I had wanted to ask, do you even notice? Not even remotely huh i have never thought that at any point in time and i brought it up because just before i brought it up the reason that i thought of it was i said like probably at least every third word over a span of about 15 words and i kind of caught myself doing it and i was like huh i know i've never

but you got to also consider like our age group said like a lot we did it was like a thing to do that wasn't just jesus christ that wasn't just a value oh sorry candy you can say that but no candy yeah um it wasn't just a valley girl level thing that was a a like uh a popular thing to do at that point in time regardless of being valley girl or not someone said you don't seem valley girl but you do seem western canada i'm like well yeah yeah for sure i was like well yeah hmm maybe the problem is i do too so maybe that's why i don't notice it but like okay i don't know yeah maybe that's it maybe that's what's going on um remember when i used to edit your videos yes and you would comment like sorry you have to listen to my voice and i was like i don't get it i don't care yeah like never, I've never noticed any of that.

Yeah. I don't even think your voice is particularly high, but apparently I'm just objectively wrong about that. It's pretty bad. So like. It's pretty bad. I don't know. You know, I experimented for a while hosting videos in a slightly lower register.

So it came from one that I hosted when I was sick. Yeah. Yeah. And what I did was i experimented with delivering a little bit more like this like intentionally i don't like it a bit more bass i don't like it and a lot of people noticed and some of them said wow this is an amazing improvement all of a sudden i can actually listen to these videos but the majority of the people who commented on it were actually upset.

They were like, no, I like Chihuahua Linus. When he's all like, what? It feels very disingenuous to me. People said it felt really sterile. Yeah. More like I was a presenter reading the script that had been provided to me as though I didn't fully understand it. You sound almost radio.

Yeah, maybe a little bit more. I mean, I still don't think I have a radio voice, but, you know, face maybe, voice no. Let's move on. We wanted to talk about the whole, like, Chinese thing. Right, iPhone sales, Paul said. So a Chinese court has ordered a sales ban of select iPhone models in China for violating two patents of the chipmaker Qualcomm Inc.

Though intellectual property lawyers said enforcement of the ban was still likely a distant threat. The case is part of a global patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm that includes dozens of lawsuits. Apple said it's filed a request for reconsideration with the court the first step in a long appeal process the Fuzu intermediate people's court found Apple infringed to call compatents and ordered an immediate ban on sales of iPhone models from the success through to the ten China Hong Kong and Taiwan or Apple's third largest market accounting for about 1 5th of their total two hundred and sixty five and a half, oh sorry, billion in sales in the most recent fiscal year.

So there's a little bit of commentary here that this could be a political play because Apple is a direct competitor to some of the biggest companies in China, whereas Qualcomm is a supplier, so you could see them siding with them there. But I mean, frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this just ends up being kind of an attempt to

waste time more than anything else. Like, I don't really understand the purpose of this kind of thing. So already it's from the 6S through to the 10. The appeal process will take, I mean, I don't know if the Chinese courts are as slow as the ones over here, but I suspect they probably are. A very long time. I don't know. Then again, I did watch the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies, man. Looked pretty efficient to me, but you never know. So if they take anywhere near as long as it is here, by the time Apple were ever to have to actually pay anything or a sales ban were to actually go in effect,

those models would probably be EOL and therefore completely irrelevant. So, I mean, we saw a really similar thing happen with some of the early Galaxy models, where by the time Apple managed to force Samsung to stop selling them in North America, they were outdated and replaced by newer ones anyway. I mean, that's sort of the... It's just one of the ways in which the patent system

has failed us due to the pace of modern technology. There are many ways, if you didn't understand that illusion, because you don't like candy canes i don't even like candy canes i mean i'm not even defending candy canes because i like them i think they're stupid candy they're not very good and when i first heard that candy canes were being banned in the school i actually agreed i was like oh it's probably a danger thing like between either sharpening up the one end and like stabbing someone with it or taking the u-end putting it in a fist and like really messing someone up because that could be done you know you punch some soft tissue with

that like even if it didn't stay completely sharp you could definitely do some damage i was like oh yeah that makes sense and then i was talking to my wife about it and she's like no no no it's because it's like a religious symbol i'm just like i never even put that together well pretty much everything christmas i know but like the the j and the wood like whoa that may not even be what it is, but that just might be why people are mad about it. Sure, okay. Why not?

You know what? I'm going to Google this. Oh, someone on Flowplane chat just asked, where do I buy that shirt? I know. I've been wearing this shirt for literally months. And there's been nowhere to buy it. We have a huge shipment.

You've seen Nick's office right yes it's full of boxes and boxes and boxes of these shirts we're gonna have a new store it's gonna be on lttstore.com we've been oops hard at work on this for a very very long time it has taken too long but that's a whole other conversation um but pretty much what happened was we weren't happy with either the speed of delivery or the quality of the printing or the service or whatever else from any of the merch providers that we've dealt with for one reason or another. We have ended up switching every time. And so we finally went, you know what what this is going to be a lot of work and it has been a lot of work but we're just going to find a way to do merch fulfillment ourselves so over on LTT store.com right now you

can pre-order the scam USB Drive which is actually 32 gigs it's from Kingston but says one terabyte on it because we're funny so So we alluded to this in one of our recent videos. This is just kind of like a collector's item. So you can get one if you want, or you can not get one if you don't want it. It's a pre-order, just please note. But it's like, it's a Kingston USB drive. You know exactly what you're getting.

Apparently someone in the Flowplane chat bought one. Oh, really? All right, well, there you go. And very soon, and Nick is standing there, presumably with an update, you will be able to buy this shirt. Oh, shirts? That's not why you're here.

It's still TBD. No, I was just... It's after 6, I'm supposed to be gone, but I'm not. Shirts, TBD, what is not TBD? Are they up? They're not up, but they're very, very soon. Oh, yeah. So also coming is cable ties. Do you want to bring that? There's a cable tie here. Oh.

Do you want me to go get you a few packs? No, it no that's okay so we're gonna have packs of 10 there are packs of 20 sorry there LTT you can't see these at all I'm sorry wherever you still can't see them they say LTT on the end I was gonna go bring up to the camera really super out of focus yeah honestly honestly they're nothing super amazing they're just nice cable ties they look clean just so you guys know it's it's a white box with ltt in it there's orange ones well they have orange printing oh cool is it orange printing like like the yeah okay so it's orange i forgot about those those are way more limited oh okay we don't have many of

those i think it's like 10% or orange or something. Oh. Are they like supposed to be limited edition or we just didn't think they'd sell as well? I think we just kind of played it a bit more safe on those ones. All right. Apparently we played it safe on the orange ones. Who would want, you know, orange ones?

Actually, I think I was in on that decision. Okay. You've been in on most of these decisions. Yes. So if I don't like them, I have only myself to blame. And Nick. And Lloyd. And Ed.

But mainly Lloyd. What can I do for you? Oh, okay. Are you guys still streaming? Yeah. A little bit. Yeah, we're like in the middle of the land show. Yeah.

We started super late. We're streaming on Floatplane now. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And YouTube and Twitch. Yeah. So many streaming sites. plane though. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And YouTube and Twitch. Yeah. So many streaming services. I know, right?

Yeah. China bans Fortnite and PUBG. A panel of censors set up to vet mobile video games in China has assessed the first 20 titles that it did, refusing nine of them permission to go on sale, including Fortnite and PUBG. g developers of the other 11 have been told that they need to make adjustments to remove controversial content everyone was either banned or had go back and retool your game demanded the authorities have voiced concerns

about the violent nature of some titles as well as expressed worries about the activity being addictive. So, in fairness to China... Should Fortnite be banned? No, I'm just kidding. So, President Xi Jinping has also called for... Parent your kids. ...more to be done to tackle a rise in nearsightedness among the young, something that the country's Ministry of Education has linked to children playing video games

at the cost of spending time on outdoor pastimes. Okay. Parent your kids. And what does the Chinese government mean exactly by inharmonious chat room? They wouldn't like twitch is twitch no twitch isn't over there right that can't be no no yeah i mean anything with live chat is pretty tough over there it's got to be pretty banned yeah pretty censored and stuff has this story been like confirmed confirmed because when i saw it yesterday it was like super like excel

spreadsheet oh yeah and i saw some people being like i haven't actually seen them talk about this at all so who knows if it's real but i wouldn't be surprised okay it looks so there's an edit on reddit that says uh it has been brought to the original poster's attention that blizzard posted an announcement on their official weibo uh denying that they've received notice for action needed on their games but that has since been deleted. Huh. So, like, is it they're not supposed to talk about it? The Chinese community has been somewhat divided,

with some accepting this list as believable and others saying it's probably fake since anyone could make it. Yeah, it's just like you were saying. It's not even, it's just a table. And so, like, this could actually be really bad for Blizzard in a lot of ways because it said in there Diablo was because of like... Inharmonious chat. No, no, it was because of like there was gambling or something. Game missions include fraud.

Okay. Yes, that's what it was. And didn't they just announce that they're doing like a Diablo mobile game because Chinese mobile market is huge? Yeah. Fascinating. Immortal was specifically for China. And they just also happened to include America because they were like, eh, you might like it too.

Apparently, no. And not at all. But that's how that went down. Oh, my goodness. Razer has an app that uses your GPU to mine crypto and apparently keeps the coins. So this is posted by Cinnabar Sonar on the forum. Do you get like Razer points or something?

So the app is called SoftMiner, a desktop app that utilizes the idle GPU processing power of gamers' battle stations to solve complex blockchain-based puzzles on the back end. Razer rewards the owner of the PC running the app with Razer Silver, which can only be used to buy digital goods from Razer. Razer says in their soft miner FAQ, Razer Silver is not a cryptocurrency it is a loyalty rewards program. We work with crypto mining technology to harness your

computer's GPU and in turn we award you with silver giving you access to razor's ecosystem and suite of rewards possibly controversial who cares really what who cares don't run it what if you don't realize like what if you how do you not realize that because you're against candy canes sorry yeah because you're against candy canes. Because you're a fan of candy? Sorry, yeah. Because you're against candy canes? I think it is very realistic to think that there are many people who do not understand crypto well enough to know that Razer is taking their money

and then giving them Razer bucks. But you could like- But I mean, isn't that basically the whole crypto thing anyway? You could like, whoa. Hey! Oh, geez. Go, go.

Are these all the white ones? Oh, these are the orange ones. Oh, you got. Are these all the white ones? Oh, these are the orange ones. Oh, you got orange ones. I got white ones. Thanks. Oh, you dumped it on the table. Yeah, so the orange one looks like that. There's a, like, orange thing on the end. And it says LTT, and then the white one is more likely to go with your RGB

system because it's just white. That's true, but especially if you're cable managing behind the back, I think it would be really cool to have the orange ones. We actually went through quite a few. It's amazing how hard it is to get something done in China. It's cheap, yeah. It's affordable, but there's a lot of time that you end up spending just to get something printed that's quality and looks acceptable

and arrives on time and is like packaged reasonably nicely and like all this kind of stuff. So we're expecting these to go live. Next few days. In the next few days. So just to give context to the- They can't really hear you very well. To give context to the like takes a while.

I think we tried working with like, or we got samples from four different factories. Yeah. And we got like two levels of samples from each and picked or we got samples from four different factories. Yeah. And we got like two levels of samples from each and picked like the best one from all of that. Some of them were pretty garbage. But these ones are actually pretty good. Like actually not usable.

But these ones, I wouldn't call them the best cable ties I've ever used, but I can't think of anything that's better. Like they're good. So we were comfortable putting the brand on them and they look pretty nice, so. Yeah. I like the orange ones. I would them, and they look pretty nice. Yeah. I like the orange ones.

I would try to get those if I were you guys. The orange ones are dope. You're making it hard for us to sell 90% of our inventory, Luke. Way to go. I'm just trying to make people go fast. Speaking of way to go. You should get either. Way to go, you guys, for watching.

Yeah. Oh, we don't have a... There's no active counter. There's no viewer counter on Floatplane. But it plane real high is it it's kind of flirting with the potential limit of that port so what's the speed of that port uh not the speed the maximum connections thanks for coming out all right right. Thanks, guys. Oh, we didn't do, like, any super chats or, like, float plane chat.

Oh, lordy. Okay. Stu I says, speaking of Samsung, what do you guys think of recent news of the Samsung Galaxy Gold being priced at $1,800? Swap capacity is more specifically what I should have said. I think it's a matter of time before the actual smartphone manufacturers, the Samsungs and Apples of the world, I think it's a matter of time before the actual smartphone manufacturers the samsung's and apples of the world i think it's a matter of time before they clue in that third parties are already reselling their phones for six thousand dollars with goofy skins built into them and just do it themselves yes this is this is happening uh jake asks new tech showdown

i don't think so i don't think, yeah, I don't know. Mabe says, merry Saturday. Because he's Australian. New Zealand? New Zealand. Yeah. Same thing. They don't like, don't say that.

Mabe's cool. They don't like that. Hi, Thomas. Bear. Hi, Musical Pumpkin. Okay. Please make a compensator 3.0. We don't even know what we would put in it.

That's not really like a thing anymore, really. Roll bars. First of all, our average video is basically Compensator 17 every time. These days. And then, which is great, but then also the idea of Comp compensator doesn't really make sense because they nerfed the heck out of SLI mm-hmm so like it's the yeah Yeah, that's true It's just a different concept it's great. I like the new concept. It's just the original concept of compensator. It doesn't really

We were basically trying to show that it's really stupid to put four graphics cards in your system And now it's like you can but they won't really work I guess we could do it that way. Hi, Nikal and Sdiak Huzzah gamers the amount of like is so damn high lol Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying how stupid the candy cane ban is lol thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying how stupid the candy cane ban is he sent 15 bucks for being mad about candy canes getting banned i can get mad about all kinds of stuff if you guys will pay me well it's not so much getting mad about them as just like you know what you want to open up these floodgates because like i think nick and

luke can tell you i can get real mad about an awful lot of stuff oh yeah oh yeah i'm scared um all right i think that's pretty much it everyone thank you guys for tuning in and we will see you again next week same bat time same bat channel thanks j-rock is that the one who posted in floatplane chat that some people have multiple tabs open just like thanks buddy guys no just do whatever it's no problem i'm just gonna go put the fire out it's all good no problem Nice. I'm sorry, Nick.
