You know what actually, okay here's the thing about taking time off. It's off of work but it's actually more tiring. So my body has kind of a like a rhythm I guess you could call it, like a schedule where the instant that I am out of the office, like off work, I get sick. Yes. Yep. I get absolutely the exact same thing. So we were, we, the Linus Media Group team anyway. Sorry, bro.

Get rekt. The Linus Media Group team had Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So we actually had six days continuously not in the office. Most of us, one person opted to stay in and hold down the fort, which actually ended up being really helpful. So massive shout out to Alex P anyway. Anyway, within two days of those six, I was like sick as a dog. The fourth day, I basically spent the morning in bed. And then I'm recovered enough to come to work today. Because that's just the way my body handles things.

It's like, well, you don't have to work. So surely you have nothing better to do than to just, like, recover or something. The problem with that theory is that we had all kinds of things to do. So over the six days, I spent two of them watching my kids' two cousins. So we had five children in our house, six and under. Five of them. Two of the days I was on a staycation, which sounds great when it's just you and your SO, but is more complicated when you have three children and you also intend to go up to Grouse

Mountain and go sledding and stuff, you know, with a six-, four-, and two-year-old. Yep. I had three Christmas dinners. So there was my wife's family and then my family and then my other more different fragmented part of my family. My family is, like, pretty – I mean, they're cool. I love my family, but, yo. And then, like, I'm sure there's other stuff i was i was i was supposed to get together with you last night you were supposed to just like

bro out yeah but apparently your christmas time off was aside from not being off just sort of generally horrible too mine has yeah we've had a lot of health issues in the family so you're good right yes i'm fine i didn't have the sickness thing this time which probably because i kept working cool it's it's the same it's the same thing no that's terrible i mean hey there's a positive that's not good it's the same kind of thing where when i go to a show if i get sick i'll get sick the day after the show we'll be sick for the weekend and then we'll'll be totally okay again to go back to work. My body's like, it's okay.

We're going to flush all this out. Saturday, Sunday, we're good. Monday, you're good to go. No problem. Oh, man. I ate something weird last night and, like, didn't agree with my body at all. But I was like, I don't think I'm actually sick. And then by the time I woke up, I was like, yeah, no, I'm fine.

Yeah. Was it turkey? It was actually chicken. Was it bad turkey? But it wasn't like salmonella bad chicken. It was just like, I don't know. Huh. Just didn't like it for some reason.

Interesting. Yeah. All right. So we've got a great show for you guys today, presumably. Obviously. I don't know. Haven't looked at the doc. It's great every time.

Also, I just got logged out of my Google account. I hate how that happens. I was just looking at the doc it's great every time also i just got logged out of my google account i hate how that happened i was just looking at this doc it always happens mid-show anyways rtx 2060 is apparently going to have six variants wow just in case we uh needed a little bit more confusion there chinese schools are enforcing uh their kids to wear smart uniforms, which is, that's super fun. I have a feeling we'll talk about that for a while. There's an iOS update that disables cellular service on the XR and XS. Obviously, that's not on purpose. And I need some help.

This is super cool. What do you mean you need some help? Oh, yeah, no, do that one. Yeah, I need some help. I built a DIY battery out of 1650 cells, and I'm a little bit stuck on why it is bottoming out at, what is it, 3.1 volts per cell in my RC car. So I was hoping that you guys might be able to help me with that. Could it be explained by one of the cells not being in? I don't think so. You know what what we'll talk about it in more detail so it was weird it was like the weirdest injury did i tell you what happened to my yeah okay so i was playing badminton and i didn't do anything in particular like i was just moving or something

like it wasn't like on a like a dive shot like i've hurt myself pretty badly diving for shots or like doing whatever um but it was just a totally normal thing but i was playing sick but not like really sick not like coughing or anything like that Like I just kind of had kind of fatigue and I felt weak. Like do you ever have, do you ever kind of like wake up and you're not feeling well? Lethargic days. And like. Your whole body's just like bleh. Yeah.

You would go to crush like an aluminum can and you like wouldn't be able to do it. Be like, like just your muscles are weak. And like, it's just kind of weird like you just feel slow and things like kind of hurt yeah so i i felt kind of like that and it's i felt like what happened was i just like the muscles weren't strong enough to hold everything together and it just kind of like popped funny um and i've got kind of a history of joint issues um particularly with my knees and so it's been a little disconcerting that it's taken this long to heal because that was And I've got kind of a history of joint issues particularly with my knees and So it's been a little disconcerting that it's taken this long to heal because that was over a month ago

But it is continuing to get better and the answer seems to be even though it hurts when I Like when I go hard on it like with my with my right leg I can go all the way down and lift all the way up. No problem with my left Like that's really, really hard. I was actually going to say you probably need to do quad exercise. And it hurt a little bit. But the thing is that the more I keep just like doing my normal things that I do, like taking stairs two at a time.

I always take stairs two at a time. And just like all the normal little things that I do, you know, stretching, ice, heat, blah, blah, ice heat blah blah blah blah blah every morning i wake up it feels a little bit better and a little bit stronger you know there's this like meme going around kind of yeah i think i think it's not really a thing right now actually but it was like you're you're like a better person if you take stairs two at a time so it's funny that you brought that up i always take stairs two at a time it was like it was like a thing for a little while. But anyways. It's just more of an efficiency thing. That's a big part of the point.

And how it builds muscle more and stuff. But anyways. I had knee problems for a long time. Working on quads helped it for me. Especially you brought up the like, it doesn't feel like the muscles are strong enough to keep everything together. Knee stablers was in your quads. Okay. I have this book. So maybe it was a leg injury it might be Oh interesting but there's been no I'm not trained in any

of this stuff I have no idea but I have a book from a doctor who's into this stuff called the supple leopard and it's all about like keeping yourself prepared for physical activity and preventing problems and all this kind of stuff interesting and and it's like big and kind of a textbook thingy uh but it talks about all the different parts of your body and that's where i got a lot of stuff for fixing my knees and it was successful so maybe i can lend you that book or something all right well it'll have to be after the book of short stories by roald dahl that my sister gave me for christmas oh okay i actually i'm not sure if i'm gonna read them you know i read through a lot of his stuff with my kids and some of it is utter horse crap oh like it is not not all of his books are very good james and the giant peach is a stupid book

and you know that's been an experience that i've had going back and reading these children's stories with my kids stewart little is trash. It is hot garbage. E.B. White had one good book in him. Because Charlotte's Web is a masterpiece. But Stuart Little, it's just about nothing. There's just this rat that is in this family for some reason. And he does some stuff. and then it's over nobody learns anything

nobody develops there's no real explanation given for why the hell is he there what are we trying to accomplish like he just he's in like a boat boat race or something and it's got like all these nautical terms in it that i'm like i'm reading this out to my kids and i'm going do you guys have any idea what's going on they're like yeah i think it's a boat race and i'm like yeah me too like and it's like really detailed and stuff and i'm kind of sitting here going like no this isn't good why is this a children's classic i i mean maybe there just weren't like maybe books weren't as good back then I don't remember Stuart Little at all maybe that's part of the problem

it's terrible it's the one about the mouse no I knew that it's funny because their last name is Little and he's Little I guess okay alright sure why not I don't know sounds good are people upset people are upset

that you don't like Stuart Little? They're upset that I don't like Stuart Little. I'm not surprised. Because that's something they would have been attached to from when they were kids, which is something people are very defensive about. People are like, he mouse. I know.

It doesn't matter. I was using a denigrating term for him, okay? Because I think he's a little poo head. I think he's useless um like welcome to harry potter no no no no no harry potter holds up very well harry potter is excellent the movies some of the earlier movies are a little rough the third one's fine but there was a really awkward period in cinema in the early 2000s yeah when cgi was good enough for people to want to play with it all the time and to be cool but not good enough to be convincing it was a bad bad time

honestly early 2000s was good okay so i had never seen a mission impossible film okay have you ever seen a mission yeah yeah but not recently okay so i i recently was like i want to see the mission impossible movies so i watched mission impossible one having actually seen a few episodes of the classic show but a long time ago so i was like familiar with the face covering technology and that the message will explode or whatever um we used to have on our we had satellite tv and we used to have like um this old timey channel that had all these old shows so uh and you know the funny thing about it is that with the way that the programming stacked up on some of the the channels that had new stuff that you wanted to watch like comedy central or

whatever else we had american American Satellite TV. It was awesome. That is pretty awesome. With the way that the programming would stack up, if you wanted to watch during an off time, this classic show's channel actually was one of the best ones because it has primetime crap from the last 40, 50 years. Yeah, yeah. So it would have, like, I Love Lucy, which is actually a great show.

Holds up very well at least when i was a teenager i don't know i haven't watched anything recently had so i had like i love lucy had um what's that really good one with archie bunker edith bunker all in the family all the family like just like these older shows and they would so they would show um mission impossible from time to time anyway the point is I watched the first one, really enjoyed it. A little bit unconventional. You know, there were some things that were a little bit hard to follow along with. But I was like, okay, cool.

This sets me up well to watch the next one. The next one was terrible. I couldn't even believe it. I was halfway through the movie. No, I think it was 45 minutes in. I turned to my wife. I was like, hey so i guess like the plot's starting now um so that's cool maybe we're gonna go somewhere from here and then it just doesn't it's like it's everything that was bad about an 80s action flick except it was made in like 2001. M.I.2. Maybe that's why people liked it, though.

It reminded them of the older movies. So here's the thing. Because sometimes that can work. Damn it. Impossible 2. Let's find out what year that was. Ah, blah, blah. 2000.

Okay. So here's the thing. It was actually the biggest commercial success of the series. In spite of getting panned by critics. Although people say that at the time people were quite a bit more forgiving. And in

spite of just being... It's awful! And I... Okay, maybe there were things about it that were a little bit more groundbreaking at the time, but I mean it was directed by was this the one where they have the fake faces Mission Impossible is yeah it was directed by John Woo okay you don't know who John

Wu is okay here hold on a second yeah he does of course he does who doesn't know John John Wu okay did you ever see face off no but I've seen Yeah, he does. Of course he does. Who doesn't know John Woo? I don't know, man. Okay, did you ever see Face Off? No. Oh, man. But I've seen parts of it. Okay, whatever. The point is lots of doves flying around,

lots of slow motion that doesn't really make a ton of sense, lots of, like, flying kicks through the air. So, like, a very acatic yeah sort of plot is less important than style approach he mostly does Asian films I haven't seen any of this yeah no no no you wouldn't have you wouldn't have heard of most of this stuff like there's okay he's worked with Chow Yun-fat a bunch and anyway the point is it the movie seems to be more about Tom Cruise's hair and how majestically it flows in the wind.

And less about any kind of advancement of plot. Okay, spoiler alert. Not that I'm saying anyone should watch this movie anyway. It's awful. So spoiler alert. Here comes the plot. There's some MacGuffin that is bad. Yep.

And there was a guy trying to transport aforementioned mcguffin yep um in his bloodstream it's a disease mcguffin okay okay so he's like yeah okay so the plane he's on gets hijacked he dies they steal the mcguffin but oh no it turns out they only got half of it so stuff was actually happening at the beginning, but none of this is really explained. Because with the aforementioned face covering malarkey, it seems like Tom Cruise is actually the guy stealing the MacGuffin up until he rips off the face. We have no idea who this guy is, and he just kind of takes off. And you're like, okay, but stuff's happening. Okay, so all that happens in like the first five minutes. Over the entire rest of the movie, literally all that happens is they –

wait, am I getting the third one and the second one confused now? What the hell does happen in the second one? Right. Okay, so he convinces the guy's ex to help him seduce the guy who like has it and then she gets in with him but then he figures out she's working with tom cruise and then ultimately he captures her and she takes the mcguffin which she has now for some reason during a firefight injects it into herself and then um there's like this weird car chase and then tom cruise and the bad guy literally joust with motorcycles leap off their motorcycles collide in the air nice and then fist fight to the death nice and then they get the cure

from him because he had the cure but not the disease and then they cure her that is two hours of cinema and tom cruise's hair is admittedly majestic wonderful the whole time yes like on point his stylist must have had the the hairspray no not not hairspray because it was too it was too beautiful for hairspray yeah something i don't know what product they were using in his hair but if they could bottle that and sell it that should have been a main ad like product placement throughout the whole film it should have just like gone hard he had a comb though he had a comb he was like right out of frame the entire time guarantee it yeah yeah um should have been the first person on the credits list i don't remember what i was talking about anyway. So the third movie is then directed by, what's his face?

Star Trek and Star Wars. J.J. Abrams? Yeah, thank you. J.J. Abrams. Yes! I got one! So I forget where I was going with this, but these three movies have the least in common,

like thematically, like the tone, the style, that I have ever seen in any sequels at all. They just have nothing to do with each other. So the first one is kind of like a spy thriller. There's almost no violence. Okay. The second one is just like people punching each other endlessly. And wonderful hair.

And wonderful hair. And then the third one plays kind of like your bog standard modern action flick. Like it's sort of well shot, like artfully shot, but it doesn't try too hard. Hold on, pause, pause, pause. Someone said, where did Luke get his shirt? Oh, that's funny. Well. We should come back to this.

I'm glad you asked. But I just thought that was really good timing. Or not timing, but it was a really good question. On LTTstore.com, that is one of the newest designs. It's called Constellations. It's not even that expensive. And if this guy wears it, then surely you could also wear it. Yeah.

And it looks really cool and like neutral, so it doesn't look like you're super shilling for a brand, but there's a little LTT on the back and it's hard to see on me, but if you zoom in on him, you can see an LTT. So there's a very subtle like connected stars thing going on. This guy barely looks like he can get out of bed in the morning like look at him if we zoom in on his pupils he's probably high did i not tell you about this no yeah we saw it last time that's so epic i think the first one i did was this one so i think this is the one that's the worst because they're still the most dilated

look how big this one is oh yeah that's amazing oh that's not really the point i'm kind of done talking about mission impossible anyway i don't really remember okay but you didn't get to the so the first one's not very spy based the second one's action and great hair yeah what's the third one the third one is just like a modern like it could just as easily be a bond or jason bour movie. Okay. It's just like... So it's a J.J. Abrams film? Yeah. Very, yes. Okay.

But not that much lens flare, like I didn't notice. Okay. Yeah. One thing that I will say that they did a... Lens was not high. A much better job of in the third one, and this is something that I think is really hard for movies in general. So we're actually getting kind of into an on-topic discussion.

Wow. I knew we were going get there we made it how to handle having high tech in your films without it immediately dating it three years later when someone goes to watch it and they go oh that's silly so the first mission impossible has this great scene where they're talking about like you know if, if I'm gonna be involved, I'm gonna need all the great hardware. You know, I want those prototype laptops with the 686s. And I went, holy crap, this was made at the time when the 386 or 486 was the top of the line

and everyone just figured Intel was gonna keep calling them number 86. Like, whoa, whoa, dang. So technically, they had laptops with unreleased processors. Yeah, that never got released. Yeah, maybe never got made, but they also were never released. And that was something that the third one did a much better job of. That was something that the third one did a much better job of. Okay. Because satellites were and will continue to be a thing that tracks locations and can get imagery.

It might do more stuff, but it'll still be a satellite. But, like, it'll still be a satellite. Yeah. Whereas, like, the kind of hacking that you see in older sort of tech-centric movies drives me just absolutely nuts. But have you seen Hackers? I actually still haven't. You keep telling me to watch it. It's so good because it's so bad.

But they, like, know that it's so bad and they just run with it. That I can appreciate. When they try to play it off as, this is hardcore and totally real oh yeah yeah but when they like we're going through the data and you're basically like flying in a ship through a city of like columns of floating text and they're like where's the file and they have to like find it and like oh man that that i like that that is fantastic when they're like okay showing real hacking is super boring so we're just gonna make it very obvious that this isn't real and have fun with it that's cool uh speaking of movies that had fun with it i finally saw ready to play right for gibson okay i haven't seen it what do you

think you still haven't seen it no i read the book a long time ago but i haven't seen oh okay there were some obvious flaws okay i've actually heard very mixed reviews so I'm interested there were very obvious flaws like they had a lot of fun with the idea of people in VR looking like complete idiots in real life do you care about spoilers? no because I read the book so during

guys I'll be pretty vague with this so during some kind of situation where a lot of people are charging in one direction. Okay. You probably know what point in the movie that is. I've got a couple guesses, but mainly one. There's a cutaway where they show the real world. And everyone's in the real world wearing their headsets, charging down the street.

Right? Yeah. Okay. Yep. So they conveniently ignore that. And so there's one part where someone gets like hit by something this is very early on someone gets hit by something and that zeroes out their account or whatever and they fall backwards off their couch in the real world um and it kind of goes okay but what about the preceding five minutes when they were leaping around? That wouldn't have worked in this living room?

So they took artistic liberties. They had fun with the aspects of the concept that were convenient when it was convenient and just ignored it otherwise. See, that's probably fine. But it seemed self-aware enough to me that I was okay with it. Yeah. It seemed self-aware enough to me that I was okay with it. Yeah. They also, they, I think that something that some people, whether they like to admit it to themselves or not, probably did not appreciate about it is that it did poke fun at gamers.

Okay. even remotely capable of reading the subtext of a book or you know an email or a movie you're like you're pretty aware of it like the the badass guy that's like the enforcer um and this is again this is very early on the actual person i'm assuming the actual person has like kind of a chronic neck thing and like so it's probably not in great health but like lives in this escapist you know dream world where he's like the keeper of the mighty artifacts or whatever yeah and so it's got kind of uh it's got a scent of you know the south park world of warcraft guy okay about it yeah and the whole movie does okay things i liked they casted just normal people which i thought was really cool the love interest is a like moderately attractive normal chick and the guy the hero is like I actually

can't tell if he's moderately attractive I have kind of a hard time with that he's not repugnant like I can tell that which for guys seems to usually be like you're kind of fine as far as I can tell as far as I could tell he As far as I could tell, he was just, like, a pretty normal dude.

Apparently, she's supposed to be... Apparently, she's supposed to be, like, super unattractive in the book. If I remember correctly, yeah. The best they could manage for that was she has a birthmark on her face which is interesting so um my daughter has a birthmark on her face which if that's sort of the hollywood standard for really ugly i guess sort of has a bit of a personal personal meaning to me apparently the lead was the um oh sorry one second no worries well okay apparently the lead is about as attractive as me so that's a shame wait no that's this okay okay all right anyway so so I forget where I was going with this.

So I turned my brain off and had fun for two hours. Okay. But. I can do that with movies. But, like, I kind of went into it with really high expectations because. The book is really famous. Technology enthusiasts and gamers, we don't really get a lot of movies people are upping you now there's like they're upping me what's up mean minus is attractive

um yeah it's fine i don't care i'm married already like the the the yoke and harness or whatever is already on for both of us for better for worse yeah um so so shoot where was i going with that right we don't get a lot of movies so we got like that tron movie there was that warcraft movie you mean nerds gamers nerds and gamers yeah yeah yeah yeah like we don't get a lot of good ones too because that's the problem yeah a lot a lot of movies made around what is happening? Guys are you pranking us? Oh, that's the notification Okay, okay. I was so confused was like a lot of movies based around games just end up being super horrible oftentimes Not often. Yeah, have you heard about that one director

um you bull yes yes i think he's made a lot of movies based around games right uh so that's like a problem and if we could stop doing that that would be great um but like yeah a lot of them are garbage okay so we've got people in chat that are making arguments for good ones wreck it ralph was fantastic i haven't seen the second one yet yeah that's any good yeah um but then i'll watch almost any animated movie from dreamworks or pixar and probably enjoy it um there was another one here that i thought was really important to bring up uh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah okay alex j hasty over on floatplane says we get marvel movies no we get a marvel movie they're all the same movie and i really like them i watch them okay for one yes but marvel marvel movies if we're talking about see there's a little bit of a mix between

movies for nerds and movies for gamers but also i would like to add in there marvel movies are very borderline for nerds yeah they're kind of for everyone they're they're action movies yeah like there's there's there are also for nerds for sure but like like... And am I missing the boat here? Or are there not actually a ton of inside jokes? I've... Yeah, I've seen some references and stuff. I'm not super deep into comics. There are a few superheroes that I know probably a disproportionate amount about.

But not a ton. And yeah, I don't see a huge amount of them. There's some references like I know in the Deadpool movie. That's one that I know probably a little bit more than average about. I know less than average about most of them. I did notice a few things for sure. Yeah. But they're usually handed to you.

Right. Yeah. Like it's not even really a reference it's just like this is something in the universe hello here it is very clearly so jay on or however i pronounce this says marvel movies are for nerds kind of like the big bang theory is for nerds in that nerds will get the joke and they'll know the characters but like it's more of a mainstream entertainment product that was sort of built on a thing that was traditionally for nerds i think that's a bit of an extreme example because i know a lot of nerds that don't like big

bang theory and i don't know a lot of nerds that are like marvel movies are too mainstream and stuff i know a lot of nerds that are like marvel movies are all exactly the same and really boring well big bang theory though has the issue where it kind of crosses the line into offending nerds a fair bit that's what i'm that's what i'm kind of trying to say but it's it's for nerds in the sense that like i get all the jokes yeah yeah yeah but then like so does my mom silicon valley is awesome yes silicon valley is awesome i actually haven't seen anything since what's his face um behaved like an idiot and got kicked off the show uh no it's been a while i i sat in austin evans house and watched like the first two seasons but other than that i haven't seen any of it i've only seen the first two seasons

so um you know what we should really do our sponsors for the show today yeah uh as much as i'm having fun talking about absolutely no tech news we're gonna do the sponsors and then maybe we'll do some topics sure and i am having this teriyaki premium beef savage jerky jerky made with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with a goal to create a snack that is full of flavor and spice that isn't bad for you i know lions and i especially like their barbecue sauce the barbecue sauce is really nice barbecue The barbecue sauce is pretty good. Anything mojo is good. The maple buffalo bacon. What? Hey, Colton, can you hear me? Colton! Colton, we need more maple buffalo bacon.

Yeah, we need more maple buffalo bacon. Yeah, mojo jalapeno is my favorite one. But they're all legitimately really good. There's 13 different flavors, which includes sriracha bacon maple buffalo bacon and other ones that we've mentioned uh the carolina reaper which we don't have but we have the ghost pepper one um uses one of their hottest peppers in the world and this weekend only that's the hot sauce by the way this weekend only if you buy three or more bags of jerky and use offer code holiday swag it shows in all all caps here so i'm not sure do it in all caps just in case you can receive a free swag bag and a sample bag of moho for free all right

at sample jerky.com or savage jerky.com sorry sample definitely savage jerky.com not sample jerky PIA? PIA is pretty cool and stuff I used it yesterday because I was trying to book flights and I was trying to, while I was booking flights they upped the cost by $100 and I was like were you able to PIA it away?

no actually, unfortunately it didn't work that time, we do have experience of it working in that scenario. But I think the reason why the cost went up wasn't my own searches. It was that I tried to buy the thing so many times. I was trying to buy it on Expedia, and it failed on checkout six or seven times. And then it went up by $100. And then later on, it worked.

So that is known in the biz as a self-own? Self-own? Yep. You self-owned. Oh, yeah But it's there not cell phone But it's their site not working that was the problem so I'm kind of kind of cheesed about that Do you clear your cash? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was all I did all the things work, but I think is because Sample jerky.com. Is this owned even? Now hold on just a minute here.

It's available! No way! Samplejerky.com. Yeah, that won't be there long. Whatever you do do not go there oh goodness yeah

it's gonna be a bad scene I guarantee it or someone's just gonna buy it like link it to the forum or something that seems to happen pretty often yeah sometimes we get white nights sometimes we get less white nights

yes that is true also LTD store we did already talk about it yeah also the LTD store guys You should check out my cool shirts like this one. Yeah, check out our dank new merch We also have cable ties and all that kind of good stuff. Yeah. Oh John John Oh says yes. I am working on getting you more maple bacon. Thank you. Very nice

Please get a big box this time Yeah, you should remind users to move their floatplane subs from the forum Please get a big box this time. Yeah. You should remind users to move their Floatplane subs from the forum to Floatplane's site. Wow. It's really interesting that you brought that up. I didn't bring that up. Also, we're not screen sharing with you.

That's fine. Oh, okay. I'm just going to read it out. Sure. No, I know you didn't. Someone in the Floatplane chat was being very helpful and reminding me. So, yeah, we are not going to be doing float plane subscriptions through the forum. There has been some questions about this. If you are a bronze, silver, or gold subscriber, you're fine.

You have your own little loophole. You don't have to do anything. Everything's okay. Just relax. You don't have to do anything. Everything's okay. Just relax. You're good. If you are subscribed, there are some steps that you need to go through. Those steps will be in the description of the video on YouTube. And you can also find them if you just go to the forum

and go to the LMG official section or whatever it's actually called. I think it's LMG, LTT official section. And then there's a pinned post called floatplane subscriptions and migrating to floatplane.com. There's a step-by-step process. It goes through everything you need to do. If you are a yearly subscriber,

there is also a step where you need to give us an email, but you need to do all the steps before that, which include canceling your subscription on the forum. And there's instructions on how to do all the steps before that which include canceling your subscribe subscription on the forum and there's instructions on how to do that creating or signing into your full plane comm account subscribing to whatever creators you want to support and Just watching cool stuff because you you just paid to do that if you are a yearly subscriber You also need to send us an email because then we'll grant you whatever Roughly whatever amount of remaining months you had left on your yearly. And on January 31st, if you are currently subscribed

on January 31st, you're getting free two months. This is to help. This is to give people a little gift for dealing with the annoyances of needing to cancel and resubscribe somewhere else. And it's to cover whatever amount of little bit of subscription someone on a monthly might have. Or for yearly subscribers, we don't currently have a yearly option on flippin.com. Unfortunately, it will be coming very soon, but it's not there yet.

So that's to try to like make that a little bit nicer of a transition because yearly subscriptions right now, it's up to the creators, but the only one that had one was Linus Media Group. And the way that they did it was you were basically paying for 10 Months instead of 12 so the two months gap, you know see how that works it makes up for that for now

So in the end you're benefiting regardless of what situation you're in you're not losing anything We had a bunch of emails how people being like does this mean I lose the months on my you know? Nope, nope. Nope. You're being totally taken care of. Everyone will be gaining free subscription time. So yeah, it's all good. So check out that link and move your subscription over to floatplane.com because we will be killing all current subscriptions as in we will not be allowing them to renew

as of December 30th or 31st, around there, depending on what time zone you're in. So yeah, check it out. Do it up. Send us an email. We have been getting a lot more emails than we suspected so you might not get responded to absolutely immediately uh but joe and i are on it pretty hardcore so you should get a response fairly quickly um and yeah there you go so the rtx 2060 is rumored to be coming this comes from videocards.com look we're doing

an actual tech topic hey someone already bought samplejerky.com by the way i see that this looks like it's going to be just about the most confusing card to ever exist whoa and this is in a world where, what's it called? That stupid one that AMD just did. The RX 580 2048 SP or whatever. The one that's basically a 2070 overclocked. Yeah. This is in a world where that exists. So the RTX 2060, not to be confused with the rumored GTX 1160, both of which will occupy that mid-price tier, is rumored to be available with 6, 4, or 3 gigs of memory. And it can be either GDDR6, GDDR5, for either of them.

For either of them. So Gigabyte, according to an entry in the Eurasian Economic Commission, is preparing 40 RTX 2060 graphics cards. Because you've got to remember. Oh my god, I didn't even think about this. Yeah, because you've got your Windforce. Oh no. And your Aorus. And you've got your gaming.

And you've got your, like, whatever other series. And this is just Gigabyte. Remember EVGA. They're the kings of taking every card they have. For the win plus. your gaming and you got your like whatever other series and this is just gigabyte remember evga they're the kings of taking every card they have for the win plus oh yeah oc so super super oc plus for the way kingpin edition blah blah blah uh so this is ridiculous this all this does like we have been railing Against confusing naming schemes for a very long time over here Oh my god, all this does is create consumer confusion. Like there's a few here that we need mini ITX

sure, do we Really need a GDDR6 and GDDR5 version of of that is it possible that gigabyte is just covering all their bases here because i know that what we would see sometimes is particular models there might be there might be like oh like pc part picker whatever always recommends like one of these types so they don't want to get left out of that type mm-hmm so they're just gonna be every type so I build a PC subreddit or the building suggestion building and planning yeah line of psych tips for them all these guys are gonna kind of like glom on to a type oh it's the best value if you get like this much RAM in this type of ramp so they should buy

that kind they can create the SKUs now and then just focus on whatever is working later yeah so they might not end up making a ton of each one. Yeah. But I think they'll shift manufacturing to whatever one becomes a major thing. This is insane though. The SKU mess around this is going to be nuts. And if you're not

super into computers, this is going to be a big problem. The other issue here is that one of my problems with manufacturers calling different products pretty much the same thing because they're all rtx 2060 all they had to do was make the gddr6 ones 2060 ti or something sample jerky redirects to savage jerky the guy that bought it is a cool dude that's funny and sample jerky.com redirects to savage jerky the guy that bought it is a cool dude that's funny and sample jerky.com redirects to savage jerky you don't know that's hilarious thank you very much um

so all they had to do was call that one a ti or something yeah and then they can go okay now it has either three four or six gigs of ram but as soon as ti people kind of get ti now yes ti is not that bad ti is okay it's been around for a while people are used to titanium yeah it's pretty cool it's hard yeah titanium it's hard yeah no yeah uh but this all this does is make it so that the only way to differentiate one card from another is through the manufacturer part number something that very rarely even ends up in a product description on a website so if you're looking for reviews of the RTX 2060 you might find a review and we've seen this strategy you might find a review of the RTX 2060 GDDR6 overclocked thing because that's what the manufacturer is sampled to all

the press and then you might see that and go, well, that can't be that different from the three gig GDDR5 non-overclocked one. But the thing is that we might be looking at, even if that performance delta is only like 10%, 12%, 15%, let's say it's somewhere in that range. You look at how compressed the stacks of technology products have become, and those are completely different products now. 10% difference in performance is not the same product anymore. And it's very frustrating to me that we get the same name assigned to both of them.

Now, to be clear, I don't blame Gigabyte for this. I blame NVIDIA for this. Yeah. 100%. Gigabyte's just trying to cover themselves and be like, whichever one of these goes gangbusters, we need to be ready for it if i was the product manager at gigabyte i'd do the same thing yeah i'd be ready to go

with all of it really frustrated about it but i would do the same thing i know this is just yet another example of nvidia's arrogance like they just don't give a crap like the amount of extra headache and cost that this adds for their partners to have to support all of these SKUs. It just doesn't make any sense. Because the thing about it is that you'll get this price sheet and the manufacturer already knows. They already know which ones are the focus models. Just get rid of the other stuff. Why are we doing this?

Yeah. I don't know. I gave Asus a hard time about this a few years ago. So this was pre-RGB. This was back in like, back when they were doing that weird gold thing with like that kind of tacky yellowy gold, which is funny because that got like really hot

shortly after anyway. And I was like, I was telling them, look, you guys sell like three boards, okay? In the mainstream lineup. Leaving out ROG. You've got your dash A or like your blank one. So your P whatever chipset name D, A, or just with nothing. Yeah. You got that one.

Then you've got your whatever pro, which is usually that one with like a couple features, like RAID support or something like that. Then you've got your deluxe, which is your Cad one with like a couple features, like RAID support or something like that. Then you've got your Deluxe, which is your Cadillac board. Everything else, and there's obviously you need a micro ATX one or whatever, but all the other ATX boards, and there would be like nine in the lineup, would sell drips and drabs, and those three are moving the vast majority of the volume. And I was like, look, wouldn't it be a better idea at this point because this was at a time when NZXT was starting to take off as a case manufacturer and they were like offering like all these colors of their cases wouldn't you be better off just

taking like the two boards that sell the vast majority of your volume the pro and the regular and just doing like four different colors of them at this point I mean people are buying motherboards more based on fashion decisions already. And this was back like five, six, seven years ago. People are buying motherboards more based on fashion decisions than based on performance and features anyway, because there's no differentiating left anymore. So why not just give the people what they want?

Give them a bunch of color options. Because back then, if you wanted blue and black, you bought MSI. If you wanted green and black, you bought MSI. If you wanted green and black, you bought Gigabyte. DFI was dead already, so there was no orange and black or yellow and black. And then Asus was generally like kind of that weird, well, this was the gold era. But before that, it was like that weird powder blue, and then they had white, and then they also had black. I mean, everyone kind of like moved past that because they're like, yeah, we'll just RGB illuminate everything, then it's not really a problem but uh yeah i i i kind of agree with a lot of that um i'll do the three end um and like one of the problems with this too is is like i kind of understood for a while

when they had skew differentials between rgb and non-rgb because you could legitimately save some money having non-RGB options. And there's quite a few people. I don't think it's... I actually can't even tell. I don't necessarily think it's the majority right now, but I think there's a fair amount of people that don't really care.

Yeah. And would rather not pay for it. That subset, I know it exists. I don't think it's the majority. Yeah, yeah. But I understand those skews as well. So do you have those differentiators for these you already have like 40 that's going to be a really hard thing to push

now it's going to be really hard and especially because unless you have like a reasonably deep understanding of pcb design you're not going to be able to tell the difference between uh PCB design, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between Strix and ROG and gaming and whatever else. So it's all just kind of sold on these sort of weird features like ultra durable, whatever that means. Yeah, yeah. like i i honestly think nvidia is attacking their own base here because this is going to make buying an nvidia product really really confusing buying an amd product not that confusing and buying a console the most understandable thing there is i'm not even like i know i know i'm sorry but like actually a big part of the reason why people don't like buying computers is like i just want to play a freaking game cross-platform play is much more popular these

days xbox is literally just a computer now you can use a keyboard and mouse on it um if you're like wow i really don't have a ton of time to like research this stuff and build my own thing and now buying it even buying a graphics card from one brand there's 40 different options for one type of gpu like what the heck just get me whatever that'll work i don't know it's interesting i often allow myself to forget how overwhelming learning something all new can be yeah so i've recently been learning about DIY lithium batteries. Why? I wanted to soup up my kids' power wheels, but also I was just interested.

And so I've learned a whole bunch of stuff. It's better to spot weld. You lay them out like this. You need to make sure that your bus bars run in such a configuration. Have you been welding? No. Okay. I will.

Oh. I actually just got my roll of zinc, which I have to verify is actual zinc because a lot of the places on like AliExpress or whatever will sell you rolls of zinc that are actually just zinc coated steel. So what you have to do is you have to rub it, put it in some salt water, make sure it doesn't rust,

make sure it's actual zinc. So I've got that. Anyway, so the one that I showed, I think I sent it to you. Did I send you my weird DIY battery? Yeah. Okay. So that I made just soldering. And soldering 18650 cells is not ideal because heating them up is bad. There's like this very thin membrane at the end of the cell um that if you damage and it can be easily damaged by heat can basically cause it to fail which can be really bad because it's a lithium battery um so the the problem with my battery well there's a couple problems with my battery anyway i just i just i wanted to see if it would work as uh as a pack for my rc car because i wanted to go from 2s to 3S, which basically just spins the motor 50% faster.

It can wear out your gearbox. It can wear out your motor, but I don't really care. The motor's already kind of rat-bagged anyway because I was driving around in the dirt, and I got some sand stuck in it, so it sucks. I'm going to have to replace it anyway. And the gearbox, I'm not too worried about 3S. As long as you don't hit the throttle too hard, it's not a problem.

So anyway, I just wanted to prove prove a concept know if it worked so i grabbed a power cord that i could just sacrifice that i didn't need stripped it grabbed the copper and it's stranded copper wiring which i didn't see coming but i was pretty annoyed when i figured that out i wanted solid solid core but whatever it doesn't matter it worked um so i grabbed this stranded copper wiring and i made myself a battery pack out of it um that's pretty and i couldn't use my it was stranded i couldn't use my um i forgot the bruised like my bruising kit because it'd be too bulky to fit in the car so i was like okay i'm just gonna do this like proof of concept um and so the the reason okay so the other problem is my my joints are really cold they're cold solder joints which means they're like kind of lumpy like it didn't completely melt properly they're not as strong but the reason, okay, so the other problem is my joints are really cold. They're cold solder joints, which means they're like kind of lumpy,

like it didn't completely melt properly. They're not as strong. But the reason I did that was I didn't want to heat them up too much. And this was just like proof of concept. These are cells that I harvested from a failed battery pack from the Tesla Model S radio flyer, Rhydon. So I left it out in the cold or something because I forgot it in the garage. And a couple of the cells failed. So I ripped it apart and then just checked the voltages of all

them. Like a couple of them died, but the rest of them were all still well within normal margins. They were at like 3.92. So they were very usable. So I made a pack out of these kind of disposable sort of. And I was sort of tinkering with them. Anyway, so the end game is to spot weld. So you use zinc strips and then you spot weld. But it's so funny because going into this, so I've learned a lot already. But then now you're not getting into, you're not getting into like batteries so much. You're getting into like spot welders land now. So there's a whole new like thing

i gotta do so okay you can okay like seriously too but even just making it even getting to the point of spot welding something you can buy spot welders but they're all kind of designed as far as i can tell like the countertop ones are designed kind of with a specific purpose like they have a thing and you like hold something up to it. Whereas all the guys that are DIYing them out of like car batteries and capacitors are on an arm that you can make your battery out of. So I'm kind of sitting here going, why doesn't that exist as a prepackaged thing? Maybe it does, but it's probably on eBay somewhere. And are they reputable? I have no idea. Everyone recommends building your own, but no one actually has.

Look, it's all itemized. Here's exactly the thing out of the, let's say 40 bloody part numbers. Here's the exact thing that actually works exactly right for you. So I'm like, I'm on this whole new journey of discovery now just to figure out how to spot weld the damn battery together.

And I don't even know if it's going to work well. So this comes back to helping me figure out what's wrong with my battery. So I actually have a draft post because I still needed to check a couple things over on Armaforum. Whoops. There we go. So configured as 3S3P, charge voltage reads correctly about 12.6 volts. But the car auto powers off after just a few minutes, um, with the

battery at, and I needed to double check this. That's why I haven't actually posted this yet, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of like 11.8 volts, which is not low enough. It should hold for much longer. And so I know enough, just enough, like it's just enough to be dangerous. So I know that, you know, when a load increases, you can get a drop in voltage. But I have a hard time imagining that the pack dropped in voltage so much that it would, um, that it would trigger the low voltage protection in the car that keeps your lithium batteries from,-draining themselves and becoming damaged. Especially because I'm running a 3S pack instead of a 2S pack, so I have 50% higher voltage in the first place.

It's not like the balance leads actually connect to the car, so it has no way of knowing how many cells I'm running, unless it just assumes, based on your initial voltage, that you want to go down to some value x minus y. Okay, so I thought, maybe this is like a v-droop issue but then why is it that out of the gate i can i can yeah hit it yeah and it's fine oh no no no that sorry that wasn't the issue there could be a v-droop issue right the other issue was i thought maybe the individual cells i'm tripping their overcurrent protection but then out of the gate, why does it work fine?

And then why does it cut off later? There might be overcurrent protection like lag almost. I doubt it. I doubt it too. Because that would generally be heat activated. And the way that that works is that it won't work again until you cool off. And all I have to do is unplug and replug and it goes.

Oh, okay. Yeah. And these ones should be fine for Hydra anyway. I pulled them out of a ride-on car. Right. It theoretically should be fine. It's just a little RC thing. Anyway.

One thing the chat brought up, and I would bring up as well, is look into maybe there's like a spray foam solution or something, but like fire protection from the batteries. Oh, I charge in an insulated metal box. No, they're running. Oh, I don't care. If that car blows up, I give exactly zero Fs. All right. Oh, I charge in an insulated metal box. No, they're running. Oh, I don't care. If that car blows up, I give exactly zero Fs.

All right. Oh, cool. Any blueberry? I don't think so. Oh, that sucks. I'm bringing them over. Almost everyone else is gone. I'm good.

Aaron didn't take them for like once. Oh, wow. There's one blueberry. Okay, I'm good. Thank you. What, you guys? Oh, so now it's just my problem to get rid of it i traded i traded like three minutes of my time for one timbit

anyway what's up this guy says lithium cells can only provide a few amps no it's not true there's lithium cells that can provide quite a few amps yes i know lithium polymers are lighter they're also more dangerous um i don't really want to work with them um i wouldn't want to work with them either they're sweet lipo is awesome but yeah are we going through uh uh super chats um no i mean maybe i don't know i don't know are we done i kind of think so holy crap we're done yeah um should we talk about the smart uniforms like really fast i'm down yeah rc mail uh this is originally from abc.net.au this is amazing 11 schools in the province of i have no idea how to pronounce that guizu

guizzo sure sure have introduced smart uniforms embedded with computer chips to monitor students movement to prevent them from skipping classes skipping classes or leaving the classroom without permission triggers an alarm gps tracks students movements even beyond the school's grounds alarms will sound if a student falls asleep in class. Parents can monitor purchases their child makes at the school and set spending limits via a mobile app. As students enter the school, the time and date is recorded along with a short video that parents can access via a mobile app. And facial recognition ensures that each uniform is worn by its rightful owner.

How the what? Facial recognition. Yeah, so if you walked past a sensor that reads this and checks the face. Gotcha. The two chips inserted into each uniform's shoulders can withstand up to 500 washes. That's actually not an amazing amount of washes.

That's a lot of washes. Because you're expected to buy a new uniform every year if it's a private school. Oh, okay. Yeah, it doesn't really matter. So this is scary. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

Okay, you have kids. So I don't want to discount myself here, but I'm more interested in your feedback. Okay, so as a parent, when they're still minors um i'm comfortable with myself having this information yeah their school should absolutely not yeah because you can't control who at their school can see that's right that's the thing that worries me i'm not a parent but my thing is like i have no clue who has access to this and oh boy sharing it with who they're sharing it's not anonymous they're sharing it with? Because it's not anonymous, obviously. Yep. And I don't, I mean, that's a huge security thing to trust. Constant tracking on your kids is a very crazy security thing to trust. Wasn't it the New York Times just did something where they can track you through your Facebook or something?

Yeah, yeah. Just like anyone? Yeah, just anyone. So the thing is that, is this really any different from what already exists or google account i don't know um i don't have to like it i think the active face facial recognition thing is different yeah that's different detecting if you're asleep that's different so there's obviously some kind of like biometric monitoring going on here yeah like there's some pretty next level stuff here um uh and controlling spending i know that's like in the parents hands that's great but that's probably also controllable somewhere else so someone could just like turn off their ability

to buy food and water oh we've got another good one. This was originally posted by Chaliana Cessel on the forum, and it's from futurism.com. Excuse me. A Walmart patent filed earlier this year describes a system capable of using audio data captured by sound sensors to determine a variety of performance metrics for employees. Basically, they patented listening to every sound in their stores.

So it can listen for noises made by shoppers. It can determine how long a lineup is based on the distance between noises made by guests. It can figure out the number of products purchased by register beeps, the number of bags used by crinkling sounds heard. Also listens to interactions between employees and customers.

And customers and customers. That's definitely going to happen. So you can figure out whether your greeter is actually greeting the guests. Walmart says, this patent is a concept that would help us gather metrics and improve the checkout process by listening to the sounds produced by the bags, carts, and cash registers, and not intended for any other use. But the patent also includes a notification that the system could be altered in any number

of ways, including to listen in on shopping activity throughout the store. Wow. Oh, yeah, and Jack Black has a gaming channel on YouTube. How did this make it into the news? I don't know. All right, so thanks for watching, guys. We'll see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel.

That Walmart thing is horrible. What's that? Super Chats? Super Chats? Oh, right, Super Chats. Somebody apparently already got their shirts in Australia. Someone got their shirt in Australia? Wow, for all $60 they paid to ship it?

I was going to say they basically bought like four or five shirts. So yeah, they paid for like four shirts. Oh my goodness. Wow, dang. Okay, you guys are too dedicated, clearly. Pup says, I build editing workstation. Choose the i9-7900X because of higher PCIe lanes. What's with the new stuff having 60 lanes on i9? Any drawbacks? It's just the mainstream platform versus the high-end platform. That's how they differentiate it these days. Number of PCI Express lanes and number of

memory channels. Frankly, they don't really affect performance much. You probably got worse performance for your dollar, but it's sort of too late, unfortunately. I don't even like these other ones. There's no blueberry. Someone else in chat can confirm got the shirts. I'm assuming that's the Australia guy, but I don't actually know. You know who's shipping the shirts, right? Yeah.

I think I told you. Yeah, it's Patrick. Good old Patrick. Love Patrick. Everything just keeps coming back. Oh, Andrew. Is it Andrew Bishop that you're saying yeah okay cool that's the two shirts um please add wancho as a podcast to spotify i mean nobody

listened to it on for years for years i got a support request to the floatplane email please it's a different company but i got i got a support like like the guy who mainly monitors it literally has no affiliation with Linus Actives. I love you, Joe, but, like, he doesn't work for Linus. I've never met him. You have, but you didn't realize it. Oh, like, personally, I have.

But I've never, since he started at Floatplane Media Inc. You've never, like, sat down and, like. I have never talked to him. Yeah. So. Yeah. So... Yeah. So, like... They are actually separate.

They're actually different companies. Anyways, we got a support request asking... Someone was asking if they could listen to the WAN show. And I was like, yeah. So people still don't know. Like, we've been doing this for years, but people have no idea. I don't know. It's just no one seems to care. Do we know what the viewership is on soundcloud like four people yeah

no it's like it's like a few hundred people per episode i love how that's like four for us yeah well yeah people don't know i think part of it is no one uses spotify anymore right that's why they're kind of dying unless you're like or wait no uh sorry everyone uses spotify no one uses soundcloud anymore unless you're a rapper speaking of uh sorry everyone uses spotify no one uses soundcloud anymore unless you're a rapper speaking of uh 400 people being nothing these days we did a stream earlier today that on top of the viewers on twitch and floatplane of which there were some thank you for fixing that by the way hooray that was yuki thank you peaked at 63 000 viewers on youtube live live viewers absolutely destroyed i've been saying it for

a while every other record youtube is the future of streaming stuff oh yeah maybe not gaming i don't know if they're gonna figure that out but this was me unboxing a gaming computer yeah like to be fair you clickbaited the crap out of it i did not clickbait it that was exactly as advertised sir okay i called it unboxing the god of gaming pcs yeah okay that's a bit of clickbait have you seen it no it's a it's a badass pc it's a digital storm of ventum x yeah does it like create other computers or i don't know how to they were surprised that you were able to pick it up by yourself oh okay does the do the leds only turn on after seven days really heavy it's like shockingly heavy it weighs as much as the mineral oil pc what like easily why what's in it a lot of water oh so it is water cooled it's water cooled oh water-cooled. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of copper. Like, it's just really, really heavy.

That's cool. That's cool. Do you mind doing me a favor and heading to the LTX site? We haven't done an LTX update. Theoretically, there's a new blog update every week. LTXExpo.com. So we're going to find out if... We know it's redundant.

Steph and Colton are doing their job. It's on updates. Updates. Yep. I don't think they did their wait what wasn't this already up last time yeah 21st yeah that's last week dang it you guys can you go sorry this is the oh fired it's christmas lightest fired wow wow fired wow wow all right there's no anyways update this future updates will be Fired! Wow. Wow. Fired. Wow. Wow.

All right. Fired. There's no LTX update this week. Anyways, future updates will be on LTXExpo.com. Yep. Slash updates, but I mean, you can just go to the website. We're going to see you guys there. By the way, we would highly recommend that if you're thinking about going, book your

flight now. We've gotten a lot of really good feedback from people that are like, yo, thank you for telling me the date so early. It was a third of the price of last time like literally a third of the price so it's way cheaper to book ahead of time you don't think we're gonna run out of tickets oh it's a big venue you know what it's gonna be interesting because with the dream hack element as well there's sort of an x factor there we actually don't know how many tickets are gonna sell for this. All I'm saying is for people who might be scared

to book flights before they have tickets. Oh, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. It's not gonna be like sold out in three minutes or anything like that. Yeah, it's not like pass. And we're gonna do multiple waves of tickets. So if you are coming, then get your flight and hotel booked.

Like there's no real reason to not do it now. right is that it someone in chat said plane tickets are not a third of the price maybe for some people maybe from some airports and maybe you should be on some airlines maybe you should be using pia maybe you should be using bam you ever think of that maybe the the airline you book through the site you book through whatever thanks to you're affluent, so it wants to make it more expensive. Yeah. So VPN to a less generally affluent area, and you might have more success. Jono asks if I want a skid of maple buffalo bacon. I'm going to go with no.

Yes. That would be really crisp. That would be a yes. Stream it. Yes, Jono. Stream it. Unbox a skid. Stream it.

Unboxing a skid of the bottom jer stream it 63,000 viewers should we return the Walmart PC for refund or have them send us a fixed version I'll return it for refund are you gonna make another video I don't know if you wanna make another video then sure hmm what was broken

well it's just like dumb like I think they're just like fixing it oh yeah I'll return it for refund then because it's not gonna be any different it's just like dumb like i think they're just like fixing it oh yeah i'll return it for refund then because it's not gonna be any different it's still gonna be dumb should i make another video about it yeah we could probably make the second video we wouldn't be able to do it till like mid to late january though at this point we've got ces coming out i still think that'll be clickable why why do i get these emails like these kinds of emails are the ones that give me a headache for an entire weekend at 5 48 on a a Friday, Colton Potter sends me an email. Subject line, new channel?

Do we have plans of doing another one in 2019 or is that still up in the air? Thanks, Colton Potter. Why does he do these things to me? I don't want to think about that. Because if he doesn't send it, it'll stress him out all weekend. I don't care about him being stressed out all weekend how is that my problem why is it my problem no I don't want to do a new channel yeah he's gonna be like gonna be like look how successful tech linked is we should just copy paste that you, it's not that simple. TechLinked,

it had a host already. It had a format already. All we had to do was like, play connect the dots. It was paint by numbers. Give it a home. Give it a home, you know? We hire Steve.

And even that was a nightmare. That would be awesome. We call it Gamers Command Center. Heck yeah. Or Gamers Hatchery or whatever the word is. I didn't get the commands or anything right away. That's wonderful. I like the StarCraft references.

And that's the show. And we're losing viewers at an incredible rate. Incredible rate. Okay. Speaking of things that are my problem. Oh, yes, right. If you have questions or you're having problems or anything like that with the float plane migration, come check out my stream.

I'll be streaming tonight. Twitch.tv slash Luke underscore. I'm imagining the annual migratory movement of the float planes across the continent now. Float plane migration. Oh, my God. When we're bigger and we maybe have someone who can do that kind of stuff,

that would have been really cool to have a post and make it look like a migration of float planes That would have been awesome, but yeah, no, we're still really small. That's okay. I know time working on getting bigger Matter of time baby. Yeah There's there's been some really good feedback also if you have feedback or suggestions you can come bug me about it, too But there's been some really good feedback people. I had at least one person say They're watching from India and it's's working but it's like not the greatest yeah we don't have an edge super close to there um and i've had a couple people mention that recently so we will be looking into getting something up a little bit closer to there i mean at this point

like honestly i'm down to kind of spin up as many edges as it takes get them all over the place one thing that we're working on is um one thing that I'm actually going to have a person that I'm not naming yet who's sort of joining the team maybe-ish working on is the automation of doing that. Cool. Yeah. Okay. So they don't all have to be manually done. We're going to be working with a different server provider to spin up some ones in areas that we don't currently have access to and we've already started working on that but we want to automate it and stuff so

yeah it's coming along um i can imagine with our edge map right now that india is not doing the greatest and there's a few other areas that i've heard that feedback from as well so we are definitely going to work on it all right see you guys bye Alright, see you guys! Bye! Bye! Someone's asking, is an AMA possible in the future? Just... Nice!

Here you go. You have to go to Twitch chat or like, Twitch.io all right i posted in the chat oh oh crap i forgot to put the things that goes there stuff hooray
