Going live? We're going- OH WE DID IT! Yes! Yes! All of YouTube doesn't know this, but that was an adventure. Welcome YouTube, we've been trying to go live on you for, uh, let's not- Let's say half an hour. Yeah, for a while. Okay, so welcome to the WAN Show, now it's starting for real. What have we got- what are we gonna talk about today, Alex?

Yeah, we've got the Pixel 4a, It's leaked a bunch. Big surprise right there. Huge big surprise. Also, the European Union is thinking about introducing a right to repair legislation that they're working on, and that's exciting. Also, Honeywell, they built the most powerful computer or a quantum computer. Did they? I guess that they make quantum computers. Did they achieve quantum supremacy? Apparently, yes. We have no time for jokes now. We'll get to that later. For now, it's the part of the show when you do the intro, I believe.

It is, yeah. Hit that intro. Boom. Hey. Do they talk during this point? They normally do, but the viewers don't like it very much. Oh, okay Do I do that no It's not fresh books right now. Well, what you have to, you're supposed to do this.

Oh, oh, oh, shoot, you do this. Sorry. Intro one more time. You're a professional. Intro one more time. Okay. And then, it says the time at which it happens.

And then I do this. Huh? Huh? That's my Fresh Book. Oh, you do that. Oh, you did it. Boom. And honey.

And honey. Love those guys. And my personal favorite because we get to eat jerky. Savage jerky. Yeah. Yes. And now, back to the good stuff hello so the pixel 4a i so it's unsurprising that it's leaked but i'm actually pretty excited about what

there is yeah so there's a couple things here for one they're not doing the stupid does the pixel 3 have the one where it scans your face or that's just the 4? Just the 4. I have the Pixel 3 and I was kind of upset because I was excited when they announced the Pixel 4 with the Project Soli sensors. Of course you were. I think we talked about this a little bit when it was being announced. I was like, ooh cool because I don't know if you guys saw this but but, like, when Google first announced Project Soli, it was, like, this secretive kind of, like, research project, and they were like, we can sense little tiny movements

that you're going to make with your fingers. You're going to be able to have a little doohickey, and you're going to be able to kind of dingle your fingies on top of it like this. And you're going to be able to, like, turn volume up and, like, swipe things away and like multitask all without touching your phone yeah but the reason this was cool alex let me tell you about it okay the reason this was so cool is because um it had applications for not just phones but like you know laptops or maybe you had like a little computing device and it didn't even have a screen

i don't know and you're doing stuff with your hands that sounded pretty cool to me. It turns out Doesn't work great. That's not what also I'm totally fine if they have that but also I just want the little fingerprint reader This thing's so fast like I am yeah boom great And I have one of those two and then they took it away because he's got a pixel 2 yeah I have a pixel 3's got a pixel two yeah i have a pixel three james has a pixel four and uh he's the he's probably the least happy i'm just kidding don't quote me on that oh the pixel 4a it looks like it's going to you know it's going to have this fingerprint reader on the back it also looks like it's going to have oh let's go to that let's go this is where we go to the sources yes yeah you're looking

at it right now boom and you can still see us which is also awesome because i don't know i don't like bluetooth earbuds i don't i like the big i like the cans oh like the big ones those are great i see what you're saying but i don't like the little earbuds like see i've used airpods i've used the Pixel Buds. Just not a fan. It's been really frustrating watching the industry as a whole kind of move towards removing headphone jacks. Because emotionally, you know, it puts you through the ringer. Because you're like, the first time they remove the headphone jack, you're like, no, my headphones. 3.5 millimeter headphone jack.

I love it. And then you're kind of like, all right, then you go to acceptance, where you're like, all right, the jack is dead, they're taking it away, and a car horn is honking, I don't know if you guys can hear that. We're going to get copyright infringed, copyright striked for having, that's a sound you can get from a music library somewhere. Anyways, you go to acceptance right because so you're like okay i'm gonna i guess i'll buy good bluetooth earphones i guess i'll get into that and that's the future and then they do the stuff like this

where they're like just kidding we can put in a headphone jack if we want it's not a necessary thing yeah and you're just like ah what so now i just don't like it. Well, for me, it was like, my big problem with wireless earbuds is that they just don't have enough battery capacity. Like, it's pretty good, but I do this thing constantly where it's good enough that you don't have to plug it in every single night, but it's not good enough that you can go for, like, a week like you can with the over-ear ones. So I'm just constantly in this situation where, like, you just want to throw in some earbuds and suddenly they don't work

yeah you're like uh geez so like i had pixel buds and then instead i stopped using them and i just bought four pairs of like what are the ones like the pixel headphones that you just plug in here uh oh you mean like the ones that come in the box? Yeah, they're like 20, 30 bucks, something like that. I just bought a bunch of them, stuck them in every bag that I own, and I have been really happy ever since then. Yeah, and that's what I use. I use the ones that came with my phone.

But they're just like, they're not as good as a headphone jack though. Even on the Pixel 2, they didn't have it. No. Pixel 1 had a headphone jack. I think so. It's so funny because they did this, the Pixel pixel 1 had a headphone jack i think so it's so funny because they did this the pixel 3a had a headphone jack as well here i'll show you guys

my screen i'm looking at something very interesting so that's there was a huge there were tons of photos leaked there was a huge hands-on video as well uh leaked so we've basically seen the phone in in uh all its glory you can see there there's a, what do you call it? Pole hunch. Hole punch camera. So there is no, the sensor bar that was in the Pixel 4 is not there, so we won't have those same Project Soli gestures anyways.

So nothing to get disappointed about, I guess. For you. Yeah, yeah. The only person in the world that cares. I'm sure other people cared about this. There's the fingerprint sensor, and we have the rectangular square-shaped camera cutout as well, although I don't know if it has.

I'm pretty sure it's just one lens, so it's only like that just to look cool. And those pictures are all courtesy of TechDroider, so thanks a lot. yeah i don't know and then uh the other important detail was what am i looking at here the 399 it's going to start at 399 apparently because billboard mock-ups were discovered where apparently google's ready to advertise it already. Nothing, there's no mystery anymore. It's kind of sad.

In phones. In anything, mostly. Every phone that comes out, you know, in everything. Every phone that comes out, you know everything about it before it launches. It's like, what's the point? You know?

Well, this kind of leads nicely, like, overall, though, I'm pretty stoked because it just might be my next phone because it's just i think that the price and the headphone jack and you know it just being seeming generally good this fingerprint reader awesome and the battery on my pixel 2 is kind of starting to die which nicely brings us into our next segment. Oh, wow. Yeah, starting to die and you'd love to repair it. Yeah. If only you could somehow have the right to repair it. So yeah, the EU is going to introduce some sweeping right to repair legislation

that is probably going to be awesome, but we don't have a lot of details, so maybe it'll be bad. We'll find out in a little bit. Could be. So basically, manufacturers of phones, tablets, laptops will face legal obligations to make sure their products are easier to repair and reuse. The commission will have eco-design law to cover phones.

Yeah, all of those things that I just said. Is this what you do? And they voted overwhelmingly to push the device manufacturers to adopt shared charging cables. Okay, I actually don't like that one as much. Oh, what? The shared charging cable? Yeah.

Why? I don't know. What do you mean? What's not to like? I don't see why you have to all have one cable. What is that supposed to mean? That doesn't make any sense. Of course you want to have all one cable.

That's what USB-C is for. Yeah, true. USB-C is pretty great. Never mind. I'm backfiring on that. to have all one cable that's what usbc is for yeah true usbc is pretty great oh never mind i'm backpacking so you're saying wait but are you saying that like because i think this was a real um concern that if the eu does pass this you know legislation saying all right we all need to have one one charger for all mobile devices yeah they might not go with usbc they might go with like oh that means we have to create a new one that's like perfect.

I was more concerned about that you can have one cable and then since that's the only standard, you're not able to do anything with it. What? Well, like, you know, there's some problems with it. Like I find USB Type-C particularly bad for dust. Like lightning is just better for that, I find. How dare you sir i've had to get the you know the little toothpick in there quite a few times and have like a link

ball like this big come out so because usbc has the extra little yeah it's got the little doodad lightning is just a hole and you stick it in yeah and usbc has like it's not just a hole it's like a hole with a doohickey in the middle and like when i've used iphones i've never had problems with lightning like crapping out well like i have problems constantly where like i'm going for a run and then my headphones are just like comes down and you're fried dude no but like with the usb type c like my headphones they just become disconnected and it's like with lightning or usb type c type c but with lightning i've never had that issue i guess uh what was the time for you to switch to iphone you you you traitor yeah except that they'll be on type c soon maybe or they'll just not not next year not this year the leaks

the leaks don't point to a usbc iphone this year my friend sorry to tell you anyway back to the part that i'm excited about okay uh single use items will be restricted premature obsolescence will be tackled and the destruction of unsold goods will be banned which is i think it's awesome like i am going to have to not use this phone because the battery is going to die and it's hard to repair it there's just not really any way around it so i'm going to buy probably a pixel 4a right oh really maybe it's finally time you've been rocking that thing for well we'll see like when it comes three years no it's pixel two like two and a half and you're happy with it yeah i still like it it's kind of it's really weird to like work at a place like linus media group where everyone's like, oh, I'm buying this new phone all the time.

And like, you know, I'm just using this phone because we have it. Like, you're just still rocking this Pixel 2. Like, it's the freaking Stone Age over here. Like, people still compliment me all the time on the photos. You even have a stone case. Yeah, it's peeling from all the use. Stone Age. Anyway. Anyway. case yeah it's peeling from all the use stone age anyway um anyway yeah we've seen a lot of manufacturers already kind of embracing the right to repair in ways that i think are good so like

dell has been just kind of leading the charge i think apple's also been excellent with just like their packaging is all recyclable minus some like plastic baggage you're talking about general environmental friendliness yeah not necessarily right to repair and like you can get into them pretty easily uh microsoft an iphone no oh dell you said apple you said dell and apple too so i meant the macbook specifically oh really yeah I haven't opened up a MacBook in a while. It's actually really hard, but as long as you have an iFixit kit, it's fine. Okay.

I guess that anyone who is opening these things up should probably have an iFixit kit anyways or something. Yeah, another one is Microsoft. Their Surface Laptop 3 is awesome because it's a Surface Laptop 2, but you can get inside of it without a like, a heat gun destroying the whole thing. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's just like four screws.

Actually, the screws are really hard to get at. We cut it out of, we did the short circuit, and I took it apart, and we cut most of it out, but there was, like, a good, like, 12, 15 minutes of me trying to get these stupid rubber things out so I could access the screws. Wait, so it's good or bad? It's a lot better. Like, I didn't have to destroy it. But I was almost defeated by rubber nubbins.

Again! The bane of my existence. Dennis? Do you have something to say? And so hopefully this will just generally lead to a lot more people repairing their phones instead of getting new ones which kind of sucks if you're apple or basically anyone else so there's this fun thing back in 2018 where after do you remember the whole scandal where they were um like they

were throttling down phones because the battery had less capacity when it got old and people got really mad. And they just had to give out a ton of money for that. Oh, that's what you're talking about. No, they had a bunch of batteries for sale for $29. And you could, like, replace it. And they expected to sell a million of them. And they ended up doing 11 million battery replacements.

And it ended up costing them a potential five to nine billion dollars in losses in like people not upgrading their phone. Oh, boy. But that shows you like how much demand that will make them more money and consumers wanting things that will save them money. Yeah. But it's like, on the one hand, you know, these are capitalistic ventures. Like, that's their prerogative to, like, you know, sell more phones or whatever. And that's fine, I guess. But on the other hand, that's just not very sustainable.

It's not. And I think we're getting to a point now in our society we live in a society guys we're getting to the point where i think i don't know i think the uh we as the people are starting to demand that these companies take like environmental issues and yeah but the funny thing about this is that it's the perfect nexus of environmental issues and like consumer friendliness in terms of like okay look we don't want to buy a new phone every three seconds that also happens to be you know helpful for the environment where we're not throwing out our phones and also it's something like so like companies are it's incumbent upon them to to uh you know give us what we want here.

And I think the EU, this is what I was trying to say. And, like, somebody called me out because I think I tweeted that, or maybe I didn't tweet, or maybe I put it in tech, like, that. I'm like, oh, the EU is actually, like, oh, you know, they've been the good guys this whole time. Somebody called me out and said, okay, what about GDPR? time then somebody called me out and said okay what about gdpr like the whole privacy legislation where you know um basically you're you're it restricts your freedom online to do things creatively but that's kind of annoying from a creative standpoint but it's also helpful to some creators because it can it means that your stuff isn't you know uh take you're not you're not taking advantage of so but i think overall i think the eu is really going for a friendly to consumers type of approach where

they're like we're doing these things to help you and i appreciate it we might also have like an awkward generation or two of phones where it's like they try to figure out how the heck to comply with being able to upgrade your phone. Right. Right. It's like, okay, wait. So we're going to, okay, it's going to be a unibody. There's no back plate that you can take off to replace the battery.

But you can take it into the store and we'll give you a new one. And it'll be like those funktastic ones from like China that the screen goes all the way around. And like, what are you going to do with those? And anyway, like I'm pretty excited just because there's something like the Samsung S20. If I knew that I could like fix the battery, I might go out and buy one. It's like a thousand bucks. But if it's going to last me four years, it could be worth it. But if it's like the battery is going to die in two, two and a half years, I don't want to spend $1,000 on a phone.

Exactly. Exactly. And why would you when you can just buy a new phone? This is what's so funny is that like we're coming around. Like we had this already. We already had phones that you could replace. Like completely repair and put the battery back in. And then for some reason, this is what I don't understand, guys, okay?

This is what I don't get. I put a case on my phone as soon as I get a new one. As soon as I get a phone, a case goes on it. Can we stop caring? Can we decide as a society to stop caring about what phones look like? So, because like, I don't want a unibody. I want it to be functional.

It's a tool. It's also a toy. Yeah. But like, you know, I want to put a unibody. I want it to be functional. It's a tool. It's also a toy. But, like, you know, I want to put a case on it so I can drop it and stuff. So I guess the one more thing is if you have to take it apart, are you sacrificing waterproofness? I really like the fact that this is waterproof. I can, like, I don't know, go on a hike and toss it in my pocket and if it rains it doesn't matter but like like i don't know i had water kill one of my phones it didn't totally kill it but it killed like the usb circuitry so it basically killed it but how hard is it to make

a phone with like removable panels that's also waterproof like making things waterproof is really tough you're tough have have you like i don't know have you experienced like any coffee mug ever like the travel ones i have experienced they leak all over the place well if you get a bad one yeah even the good ones the good ones leak too i don't know where you're getting just give them a little bit i get my coffee mugs from apple you should say ltt store.com ltt store.com wait get my coffee mugs from Apple. You should say lttstore.com. Lttstore.com. Wait, we have coffee mugs?

No, these bottles, you know, they'll keep your stuff hot for a long time. Wait, do we have coffee mugs? No, we have... Is this an LTT store spot? No, at the water bottles. Is this a sponsor's right now? No, it's not. No, it's not.

But I think we're working on mugs. Maybe, I don't know. But continue, sorry. Coffee mugs suck. Because they always leak. It's really hard to make things waterproof. Okay, what about GoPros? Yeah, they have the big old case around them.

No, no, no, but aren't they waterproof now? They've always been waterproof, but that's because they have- No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm looking this up. I'm looking this up. GoPro waterproof. Oh yeah, like the GoPro itself is also waterproof, but you can't take it apart the same way.

Yeah, the new ones are all waterproof without the case. The newer GoPro cameras are waterproof without a housing while the older units require a housing. Boom. Yeah, but I would be very curious. So it's easy as that, all right? Samsung. Samsung, Apple, just go talk to GoPro.

They know. They're very knowledgeable. Ask them how their drones are doing. How are their drones doing? I mean, I don't know how their drones are doing now, but a couple years ago, like karma, all their drones like fell from the sky. Apocalyptic scenario.

Oh, what else do we have here? For all the people asking where Linus and Luke are, they're not here. Really sorry. This is not a normal thing though,us and Luke are, they're not here. Really sorry. This is not a normal thing, though, so don't worry. They'll be back. Yeah. Moving on.

I think it's time to move on, eh? Yes. What are we? Which one are we doing? I don't even know. Which one tickles you? I mean, okay, I want to talk about this Washington approving facial recognition a little bit. Okay.

Because I've been following this kind of old regulation of facial recognition issue a little bit. Okay. Because I've been following this kind of old regulation of facial recognition issue a little bit, and it's interesting because this is another example of companies wanting to do something and that clashing with the interests of consumers in the same way that the right to repair and environmental aspect that we were just talking about. Facial recognition is really cool.

It's a rapidly developing technology. But the problem is that a lot of the algorithms that it's based on end up being biased. So they'll be a lot better at recognizing a certain type of person, like people of certain races or whatever so it's biased in that way and also a lot of it is still very inaccurate but uh they're they're rolling it out in places like in the uk they're rolling it out in london in certain areas of london i think i don't know if it's across all of london but they're rolling it out and it's got like an 80 error rate like it gets like two out of ten right or something well there's this big problem with recognizing faces where you can

easily train like an ai to recognize a group of like let's say like 10 000 people it's like pretty easy you'll be able to get it right pretty much every time what do you mean it can recognize a group of like like like it will be able to pick out an individual it'll be like show like a different picture or like a video of someone and it'll be like it's that person it nails it okay but as you make the sample size larger this is like like with a lot of ai stuff you make the sample size larger and it just eats up the day it's like and then it becomes way more accurate but with with facial recognition, it's kind of the opposite because you just get more faces that look the same in there. So as your sample size goes up, the accuracy can go down

because the chances of you getting a false positive increases. Well, and that's the problem, isn't it? Yeah, there's that really fun one in London. What was it? There was the big fair, I believe, where there was a bunch of people attending and they used AI to try and pick out criminals. And it had a whole bunch of false positives.

And the only correct one that it got was someone that was already, like, the police found him and got him. Oh, so they were like, oh like oh whoops we were just out here uh wasting our time a little bit so so the development that we're talking about the reason we're talking about facial recognition right now is because washington state has approved uh well okay it hasn't actually been signed into law by the governor yet but the house and the Senate oh geez I don't know how I forgot how American government works but anyways they got a bill basically to the point where it's

approved where there are going to be strong regulations on how it's used they are going to regulate how which algorithms are used and how they're developed and also if law enforcement wants to use it they will have to require a warrant to to use it for like a specific thing they're not going to be able to just kind of like post cameras up everywhere and scan everybody as they walk by okay that's good which i think is like you know maybe that's not the end goal like i can understand how having facial recognition you know out there in public helps security or whatever yeah and like maybe if we regulate it enough we can get it to

that point where okay it's 100 accurate or something and like we know that there's going to be no false positives and we know that it's not going to infringe on people's privacy i don't know if that's possible okay i'm not a facial scientist but i think that this is an important step to like take it slow you know okay we're not super comfortable with exactly how this is working yet so let's just let's just be careful here all right let's let's pass some legislation and uh let's make sure that it's being developed in the right way. I don't know if we need any other details about that. Yeah, I think that's basically it for that.

Okay, anyways, now you want to talk about something. No, you didn't. I did, yes. Oh, what are you going to do? Honeywell, we're getting quantum in here. This is mostly just because it feels like it's just kind of out of nowhere honeywell apparently has quantum supremacy yeah what okay i don't really know maybe maybe this is maybe this is like embarrassing but what does honeywell make like fridges yeah they make like thermostats okay and this is coming courtesy of RC Mail.

Mail? Sorry, I don't know how to say your name. On the forum, thanks for the contribution. Anyways, Honeywell. Yeah, so basically how it works is, you know, most quantum computers, they work using superconducting qubits. So I did, like, three minutes googling this so i apologize for brutalizing it for the small number of people that are quantum experts destroy that are listening

but basically you know normally with a quantum computer you have a very thin ring of aluminum that is chilled until it becomes a superconductor and then like you know current just starts flowing in it because it's a superconductor. And they're able to do stuff that basically allows for the current to flow in both directions at one time. And I think that there's an issue with that because you're not able to read it while you're like running the stuff. Oh, no. Yeah. Great explanation, Alex.

So the one from Honeywellwell they instead use ion traps so they have strontium or something along those lines can i just say that sounds like super sci-fi yeah we have to get past the ion traps continue um and so then well it's kind of like trapped dangling there by electricity above like a gold film or like a gold strip. Right. They're able to change it from a state of zero to one. And then they have a laser that reads the atoms. And so basically if it's in state zero, it does nothing. But if it's in state one, it emits a photon.

And boop-de-boop, you find out what it's doing. So the fun thing about that is they're able to create if loops. If loops. Yes. Is that like if this, then that? Yeah. I know about that. they're able to create if loops. If loops? Yes. Is that like if this, then that? Yeah. I know about that. And so apparently that's great.

I could have told you that. So anyway, to build this quantum computer, Honeywell partnered with J.P. Morgan, another one where it's like, what? I don't even know what J. what JP Morgan does, but I know they're in the finance industry somewhere. And also Microsoft. Oh, that's a bank, isn't it? Yes. These WAN shows are horrible for me. Everyone just finds out that I know nothing about banks. Yeah. It turns out Honeywell does a lot of stuff in defense and aerospace and has a lot of expertise in vacuums and cryogenics, which is how they were able to do this. Honeywell does a lot of stuff in defense and aerospace and has a lot of expertise in vacuums and cryogenics,

which is how they were able to do this. Honeywell does? Honeywell does. Man, they have such an innocuous name for being involved in that kind of stuff. I don't even have much brand awareness of what Honeywell is, but if I had to guess, I'd be like, I see a Honeywell toaster one time. Turns out they're making secret super soldiers in labs.

Okay, but now why is this particular configuration for a quantum computer? Why is that a big deal? Why does that make that more powerful than a traditional one? I think that it's just because it's easier to make a whole bunch of them and run them in parallel. Okay. And it's easier to like start and stop it so will they will they achieve quantum supremacy um they they have a paper i have it in the doc as paper by honeywell for super nerds um oh and and they claim that they have quantum supremacy but it hasn't been verified by

other people oh so they're like actually being kind of, they're actually kind of being a bit humble about it instead of Google, who was just like, we did it. I don't know if they would be humble. The reports that I have said were like, we'll wait for a second. I'm on your screen now. Oh, you are?

You can show the people. What are you looking at? I'm looking at this paper that I honestly don't understand. I feel like, okay, there might be a few people in the chat. If you're a quantum scientist in the chat, let us know that you think that we're talking nonsense. But otherwise, I think most people here have no idea what the heck. Yeah, let's see what wisdom we have here.

Tommygun9228 says, Don't want to be rude, riley's mustache makes him look like an 80s porn star but i like that style that's the that's well it's not the idea hi alex i accept it so uh jp morgan jp morgan chase is that what you said yeah like chase the bank chase here's the other thing guys we're canadian so we don't have, I don't think we have Chase and maybe JP Morgan's involved in some stuff up here but it's not like a household name or maybe if you're on the stock market. I don't know. I should, I'm with a credit union. Okay, we got a neuroscientist in the chat but that's not gonna help us. I mean maybe it will. Maybe consciousness is based on quantum mechanics. Did you ever think about that? We got a neuroscientist in the chat, but that's not going to help us. I mean, maybe it will. Maybe consciousness is based on quantum mechanics.

Did you ever think about that? Or maybe they're building quantum mechanics so it's more like based off of consciousness. I think that's kind of the point. Yeah, neuromorphic computing. Yeah. Dang, dude. I mean, if that's not time to talk about our sponsors, then I don't know what it is.

Where am I? What am I on here? It's time to talk about our sponsors, then I don't know what it is. Where am I? What am I on here? It's time to talk. What? Do you have more to say about the quantum? No, someone says quantum supremacy means that they can build an AI that will dominate the world, right? No, I think it just means that they built the best one.

I think they just mean... No, no, no, no. No, quantum supremacy, I know what this is. Do you know what it is? Clearly not. Ha-ha. This is something Riley knows about. Quantum supremacy is the point at which No, no, quantum supremacy, I know what this is. Do you know what it is? Clearly not. Ha ha. This is something Riley knows about.

Quantum supremacy is the point at which a quantum computer can do something better than a traditional computer or something. Okay. Something along those lines. Okay, look, now somebody's going to say what the actual definition is in the chant. Oh, here we got. Lebesgwemeasure101 says, In quantum computing, quantum supremacy is the goal of demonstrating that a programmable quantum device can solve a problem that classical computers practically cannot. Okay, there we go.

Cool. So it's not that they do it better. It's that they do something that our computers now can't even do at all. So Google said that they had achieved it but then turns out that okay well they didn't our computers could do what their their computer did it would just take like a while oh and someone in the chat asked like normal quantum computing needs cooling to be a superconductor does this need it basically yes it's under a vacuum it's super duper cold right it's maybe slightly easier to make but it's still you know you're not making it in your basement unless

you're that one kid that did what yeah there's like an 11 year old somebody made a quantum computer in their basement well i think it was like in his living room but it was like pretty wild is this stranger things yeah like Sounds like something... I have made life! Okay. Anyway. That's super cool. If you're the guy who made a quantum computer in your basement, congratulations. I'm proud of you.

That's amazing. Hey, it's time to talk about our sponsors real quick. Hey, guess what? Guess what, Alex? Yeah, what? FreshBooks is a thing. Yay! And we love them.

Oh, yeah? And like generally, you know.ia, I worked for a guy that was, like, roofing things. Oh, yeah? And, like, generally, you know. Actually, it was, like, a pretty bad time because there's a bunch of old houses there. And then, like, you know, you go and try to repair one and it's full of ants. But anyway, he was just using, like, an Excel document. It was a horrible time. Yeah, yeah. He really could have used it. When I worked back for NCIX, I was a contractor for a little bit.

And I was trying to make invoices every time on Excel. And it's not that hard, but like it just takes time. You know? With the service, you know, you can just make an invoice right away. Next up, Honey. Honey is the free shopping tool that finds the best promo codes

Like savage jerky. Speaking of delicious, wow. I didn't even need to do that. What do we have here? Savage jerky. Yeah, what do we got? We have habanero buffalo sauce, mojo habanero. Here's the deal. Which one's the hottest? I have tried the spic Savage jerky. Yeah, what do we got? We have habanero buffalo sauce, mojo habanero. Here's the deal.

Which one's the hottest? I have tried the spiciest one before. Yeah. And I can say that I tried it, so I don't need to try it now. I'm going to have a... Oh, no. Which one of these is... I've tried the spiciest one before.

Wait, what do we got here? We got... I don't know which ones these are. Habanero buffalo sauce. That's hot. Sriracha teriyaki. That's medium. I'm going right for the mojo habanero. Oh, je's hot. Sriracha Teriyaki, that's medium. I'm going right for the Mojo Habanero.

Oh, jeez. I think this is one of the hotter ones for sure. Yeah, I guess I'm doing the Sriracha Teriyaki. Savage Jerky, it's made with the best ingredients, guys. There's no nitrates, there's no preservatives, and their goal is to create a snack that is full of flavor and spice that isn't bad for you. Because that's hard.

Yeah. You can create something that's hard. Yeah. You can create something that's super tasty, but... That one's a bit hot. That one's definitely hot. Yeah, why'd you do that? I kind of want some more, though. What? It's really tasty. What's wrong with you?

I mean, what's right with you? Can I also have some of the other ones? Oh, jeez, that's way too much. Jeez Louise. I'm a little snack-related. So we got three flavors here, but they got 13 different flavors of jerky, such as the ones that we just said.

And Linus's favorite is maple buffalo bacon, apparently. That one's actually really tasty. And they also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and a spice rub for those intimate moments. What? Their Carolina Reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world, and you can use offer code LTT

to save 10% on all of their products. Get 10% off some jerky! And then, you know, have some jerky, go back to what you're doing. Why not? And also, wait, are we supposed to say this now, too? The LTT folding thing, or is that later? What?

Oh, we should probably just do that right now anyway. LTT folding. If you do folding with your computer, do you know what folding is? It's great. It's the best thing. You use your computer's spare computing power and you fold proteins.

Well, you simulate folding of proteins and it helps researchers do research. Well, right now there's a big push. You know, there's that virus that's been going around. That's happening that is really, we can't super talk about very openly. Thank you, demonetization. Thanks, YouTube.

Anyways. But yeah, there's a big push on there. So if you have a GPU, like I'm going to be going home. I'm going to be setting up. I have like two computers that I don't use a whole lot. I'm just going to set them to fold. Yeah, do it. One thing I would strongly, wow, that bit of heat um oh boy one thing that i would strongly recommend if you're starting

folding make sure that your temps aren't super duper high you don't want to be running like your gpu at 100 degrees like for a super long amount of time so just you know go in make sure, with hardware info that you're not doing anything super-duper crazy, and then, you know, you can go into the folding at home thing, set it to, like, only use 70% GPU, and then maybe your temps drop a bunch,

and do it there. Excellent time. Then you don't have to worry about, like, you know, it hurting your hardware. And it's just generally awesome. There's, you know, going towards getting a vaccine is an awesome thing to do these days. And it's not free unless, you know, your landlords pay for your power. But it's not that bad.

It's not that bad at all. It's very worth it for, you know, the general good of humankind. I don't have the right link here what what the heck that's annoying are we able to post it in the thing yeah we can post the uh we're supposed to post the um post this link in chat now that goes to the PCMR. This one. Boom. Now it's on Twitch. Now it's on YouTube.

Post it a bunch. It'll get lost in there. I don't know how to post it on FluffLink because I've never looked at this before. But anyways, yeah. Help the people out who are doing the research on stuff. Post it a couple more times.

What, one more time? Just spam it. Spam it. There we go. Perfect. Can't you get banned for that? Can you get banned for spamming your own chat? I don't think so.

That would be pretty funny. Okay. Very cool. Oh, wait. I can post it in Flowplane right now. Now that links. See, now I feel bad because that links to the PCMR, you know, official PCMR folding thing that's happening.

And maybe it's affiliated. I actually didn't get a chance to look at it very deeply. But I know that on the LTT forum, we're also doing folding to help with, I think if we can say it, right? Can we say the name the thing that's bad you know everybody know you know the thing that's happening so it's it's gonna do research for that wait what's over here are you clicked on

that too no one oh yeah I just copied it over okay so use your computer moving on do you want to talk about the facebook thing uh kind of i don't know do you have something to say about that not particularly for you guys that don't know um facebook broke privacy laws big surprise every nobody heard about that one cambridge analytica it was bad australia is saying that you know they could be sued up to 529 billion dollars that would be pretty bad which is also you know pretty great because i guess the uk only find them for 500 000 pounds that's like nothing yeah exactly good job australia i guess for maybe but they probably won't end up doing it, so who knows. I saw this earlier, and I was kind of like, okay.

Maybe it's just because I'm so, you know. Oh, here we go. I'll click through. Thanks, Slimy Python, for the post in the forum. I saw this, and maybe it's just because I'm so, what do you call it, desensitized? Yeah. To Facebook being fined and, like, doing privacy violations. Like, I say this and I'm like.

Yeah, it's like Intel having, like, bad backdoor stuff. Yeah. And the crazy thing is that it says the fine could scale up to $529 billion. But in the article, I'm not sure if it's this article or another article, they said that basically they probably won't have to do that oh no Alex our SEO rankings are dropping no anyways they said that they basically they probably won't have to pay this fine because you you know they haven't paid they they have been fined other times but they have really good lawyers yeah so i don't i don't know maybe i

should care more about these kind of things maybe or maybe not it's also australia suing them yeah and also like do you use facebook anymore do i use facebook in australia well but just like period do Do you use Facebook anymore? I don't really use it unless, except for like specific things to go on there and like my marketplace. Yeah, I use it for marketplace. Or, you know, to deal with our LTT Facebook pages

that we have. Freaking marketplace. Freaking marketplace, bud. I was supposed to get a mini fridge tonight. Buddy just hasn't messaged me back. I'm kind of mad about it now. You're calling him out on one Yeah, I have a platform and I will use it to call out you username Whatever you had a plan for this weekend that involved that mini fridge now. I cannot keep my things chill Yeah, I was going to try and make dry aged steaks and now I can't oh man

You're gonna have to have regular steaks like a freaking chump. Ay-yi-yi. All right, what else we got here? YouTube ditches the trending tab. Okay, you put this into the document. I did. I didn't understand why. Honestly, I put it in here because I thought that Linus would go off.

Oh, yeah. Because if Linus was here, he would definitely have something to say about this. Yeah, he'd have something really, like, really very... What would you call that? Inflammatory? Something that most people would not care about and really probably shouldn't. So, what does this mean? But anyway, you click on it, and now instead you get...

You know, there's, like, trending, gaming, movies and shows, learning... I wasn't on there. Oh, you weren't on there? Okay, yeah, movies and shows, learning. I wasn't on there. Oh, you weren't on there? Okay, yeah. So yeah, instead of hitting trending where it just shows you like Jimmy Kimmel and who we interviewed that day, I guess Van Wives is being shown off. There's apparently going to be more creator content on here. It actually looks like it is. It's pretty much all CNN and ABC, MSNBC.

They're trying, apparently. You also get these tabs for trending gaming movies, learning, music, news, fashion and beauty. No tech yet. Right. But is this what you wrote? Apparently more hubs will be added soon, maybe tech? So then we'll, wait, but that's just going to be annoying

to have like a million tabs along the bottom of the YouTube app. Well, it's only in the explore tab. Actually, if you click on explore right now, it just shows us in gaming. So there you go. Us and gaming? No, like it shows us that like we're live. Oh, wait, we're live right now? Wow.

I didn't know that. Um, yeah, that's cool's cool yeah that's really cool it's it's good anytime that they try to do stuff that doesn't only show old people media right okay so that is wait yeah that's interesting that's something i didn't really think about because trending has like often gets basically just taken over by NBC or something. Yeah. Also us. Yeah, we have really high. But that's not us. We don't have any say in that.

We just end up on trending because we're freaking amazing. Well, and also just because we're friendly, apparently. So we're just put on there all the time. We're pretty friendly, I guess. Yeah, we're Canadians. Yeah. I guess we're pretty friendly. And guess. Yeah, we're Canadians. Yeah. I guess we're pretty friendly. And we're humble, too.

Yes. We're the most humble out of anyone. What else do we have? It's hard. All the news has been about the thing that we can't talk about on YouTube. Yeah, I know, right? I had that problem with TechLink today, where like, we've, you know, we've been reporting, we've been talking about,

we've been talking about the health thing that's happening in the world. A lot on TechLink. Actually, I know something. I want to have a whinge here today. All right. So I was on dell's website oh a whinge yes like whining yes i want to whine okay at everyone and call out basically every single laptop and desktop manufacturer fix your websites come on oh i was i was trying to find like what is just like the best bang for the buck gaming laptop recently and i was trying to just do some research to find out like the one that i picked was good and it was just impossible you just go into these websites and they all suck you go into like dell's website you have to click through like oh yes is it for home is it for that like no i just want to be able to be like maybe like apples is pretty good but that's just because they don't have many products but so many of them it's just a

huge maze to try and find the product that you're looking for oh okay like i know i know every single product by memory that these companies have and i can't find them wait so what do you want just like a big list i don't know maybe a big list they just need to do better though see alphabetical list doesn't work for people who like you know work at a tech youtube channel and literally know like every product that has ever happened. So some of them are sorted by, like, what are you trying to do? And that's much better than everything else. But I think that the big problem is just, like, it's focused on, like, what is the lineup without telling you what this lineup.

Like, Lenovo's is particularly bad. Let's see. Lenovo. The tech news this week is that alex is an old man yes i am mad at all of these laptop manufacturers i'm going to try what is their most recent gaming laptop let's try and figure this one out you want me to show you yeah can you go on my screen smarter technology for all i don't care i want to find out what is gaming. PCs and tablets. He's upset, everybody. You're going to laptops right here.

Click on it. Oh, no. Okay. Let's see what they got. Yeah. What do they have here? Explore by type. So for one, it's slow.

Nothing about gaming here. And it doesn't... That was a bit confusing. That was my bad. Okay. All right. All right. Alex, calm down.

You're scaring the viewers. Gaming laptops. We'll click on this. It would be really nice, like, maybe if you could go by type and price point. Like, if you want to look for their budget gaming laptop, you should be able to click on gaming, and then, like, I don't know, consumer, consumer and then premium because i'll probably not say

like budget in it or whatever that's still too many categories for me but instead it's like which one of these do i want oh you want the y450 454 that what the y540 obviously oh it's temporarily unavailable. I just saw the red thing, and I thought that said was, like, best deal or something. But, like, it doesn't tell you what the differences are between, like, any of these. Well, what do you mean? One's got a 15.6 FHD display, and another one is a 7.3-inch gaming laptop. And then you have to, like, go in and customize them.

It's more difficult than it should be. Anyway, we should move on. HP's also bad. Dell's also bad. Asus is bad. Acer's not great. Do you think this is gonna have an impact on the industry? None. We have complained about this so many times. This little rant right now? Yep.

I mean, maybe. Maybe this is the perfect nexus. Maybe like all the e-tailers are watching us right now and they're like, oh no. Alex is the guy that reviews the laptops. No, I think they're going to be- He's upset. I think they're going to be like, well, we're not worse than everyone else, except for Apple. And that's probably why people just go in and buy an Apple thing. Like HP, I don't want to buy a printer.

I'm looking for a laptop right now. All right, laptops, gaming. Nick's like, shut up. What? No. Keep it moving. That's not what I'm saying. I'm trying, Nick. We're doing our best, okay? Linus and Luke aren't here.

Thank you, HP. Yeah. You're the best. We hit a 404. Oh, nice. And that's where the new turnedest. We hit a 404. Oh, nice. And that's where the train stops. The pain train. What are you saying, Nick?

I'm saying, have you heard the good news about LTT Store? Oh! It's lttstore.com! I sure have! Oh, it's new, isn't it? I mean, we have to... It's a new store! It's a new store?

We need to do a layout thing. It's great. It's not terrible. People are need to do a layout thing! It's great! It's not terrible. People are gonna get mad at us for killing so much. You don't have to find one thing by scrolling past all of the other ones. You don't have to scroll forever!

Yay! Oh dang! You don't have to open it up and then see Linus posing in his underwear. Yay! I haven't even seen this yet. This is the new s- whoa! That looks cool! It's actually pretty sick.

Heck yeah. The drive is hard, but the shirt is so soft. Don't download it, wear it. Oh, because it's RAM. Downloading more RAM, right. Yes, that's the joke. I like it. I like that joke. Yes.

It made me chuckle. And free stickers. Nice. Hey, this looks great. Hey, thanks, Riley. I was waiting. I was waiting for the site to not look like a mobile site. Hey.

Hey. It's your boy look like a mobile site. Hey. Hey. It's your boy, not a mobile site. Can you buy the hat that I'm wearing right now? Yes, you can. There it is. Hey, look at that. Can you buy the shirt I'm wearing right now? Nope.

No? Okay, never mind. Don't reveal to the audience what you've been... You can hopefully buy more things soon. We're trying. Okay, anyways. We're trying really hard. Shipping delays. Please We're trying. Okay, anyways. We're trying really hard. Shipping delays.

Please buy our stuff. Yeah, shipping. I mean, putting anywhere else in the world right now is a little tough. Yeah. Moving things from one area of the world to the other. Yeah. But we'll get there. Life is hard.

But the shirt is not. We actually are very soft okay we have we have another we have another thing to talk about we're uh stopping sales with the wansho shirt this weekend oh they're stopping sales with can i get one of those which one is that for sure okay cool uh there's a wansho shirt it says the wansho oh this one the one that says the Wancho. That's intuitive. You can buy it until Sunday night. This one. Okay, bye.

Okay, see you, Nick. Get a Wancho shirt, everybody, or don't. That's your prerogative, but do it. And that's the final word on that. Okay, one more thing to talk about. Or wait. Have we covered that two new amd specific web browser exploitable things are bad yeah no we haven't but like jake had it in as the title topic he did he did good i'll have to give it i love that jake guy as the last one just as an

insult as the last one i guess all right so the As the last one. I guess, all right. So the main thing, okay, we can read through it. Let's read through it. So this week, security researchers from the Graz University of Technology and the University of Rennes publicly released a paper disclosing two new attack methods designed not for Intel processors, because Intel processors have had vulnerabilities up the yin yang these days, it's crazy. These are for AMD processors,

starting with processors released in 2011 and going up to now, which includes Zen processors and Zen 2 processors. That's Ryzen. So these new exploits target AMD's L1D cache way predictor. I said that wrong. L1D cache way predictor, first introduced with the bulldozer architecture.

The feature used an unknown hashing algorithm along with a prediction table to tell which cache a certain memory address is located in rather than having to access every cache way. So here's the thing. I can read through this whole thing, but I'm not going to fully understand what it means. Does that mean anything to you? Not really, no.

Okay. Maybe if Luke was here, he'd be able to understand what that means. Yeah, they're able to break the ASLR, address space layout randomization. The basic, the takeaway from this kind of thing is that AMD has been resurgent in recent years, right? And Intel's processors

have just made less and less sense as AMD makes these balling Ryzen processors that are excellent at not only multi-threading, but they're also starting to catch up in single core performance now as well. And it just hasn't been, you know, Intel's had a hard time catching up to that. But now, on top of that, they've also had all these vulnerabilities come out. You know, Meltdown, Spectre, all of those. What was the other one?

There was a whole group of them. Yeah, it's hard to keep track of them all. Exactly. And there was just another one last week that LVI, which basically reverses it, like they mitigated a lot of those patches with performance hits. They patched the vulnerability,

but it comes with a performance hit. And then, oh wait, was that last week? No, it was this week. That just came out on like Tuesday or something. Was it? Load value injection LVI, yeah. Cause I reported on it in TechLinked. And that kind of reversed the way

that the speculative execution attacks happen. And so it was like, ah, geez. But finally this week we got a vulnerability that also targets AMD. So it's like, it was getting a little scary. And this vulnerability that AMD is vulnerable to will also require a patch that will affect performance. So it remains to be seen how much it will perfect,

perfect, affect performance. But we'll have to see. I just think it's, you know, it had to, the scales had to balance out a little bit here yeah you know this is uh what what is there anything else important in here that we can actually talk about not really should just move on to super chats let's move on to super chats yay because we started on time right yeah we did there were a bunch of people actually complaining they were like what it's on time i'm late have they been starting at like 5 30 pretty much yeah we're sorry guys although

it's not it's not our fault yeah we're normally not involved well sometimes we put the stories in there well sometimes it's our fault yeah oh because we keep him yeah keep them from all of a vlog that you know okay super How do you do that? I actually don't know. There's only one right now. There were definitely more. Theorica gave us 30 bucks. Wow, thanks.

Use this for coffee and what have you for Riley, David, and James for the next Carpool Critics. Yeah. Hey, there's a shout out. Also, John Carpenter's The Thing, Fargo, and Naked Lunch. Ooh. Ha ha, cheers. Hey, thanks. Cheers to you too, Theorica. out also john carpenter's the thing fargo and naked lunch oh haha cheers hey thanks cheers to you too uh theorica theorica i will uh we'll use that for coffee carpal critics that's been fun podcasts we're doing we're and we're probably going to do more podcasts this is a podcast technically yeah technically but not really that'll. That'll be confusing to people who are listening to it

on their podcast app. They're like, uh, yeah. But if you don't know, I'm sure you know, but we've said it many times. Carpool Critics is a movie podcast. Me, James, and David host it. It's available wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe on YouTube also, and we're on Flowplane.

And maybe we'll do a podcast with you sometime. Sure. Either you coming on, but you don't really care about movies. I don't really watch them. But maybe you'll come on anyways just to be the devil's advocate. Maybe we can just review, like, the latest Tech Ingredients video. Tech Ingredients, the YouTuber. Yeah.

Just be like, oh, he used indium. Wow. Whoa, I never. He used it to cool a laser. I never thought I'd see the day where Tech Ingredients used indium. Wow. Ooh, whoa, I never... He used it to cool a laser. I never thought I'd see the day where tech ingredients uses indium. How do we look at the other super chats? Well, I thought...

Okay. There must be a way here. Am I going to get in trouble for not seeing the rest of them? Because I saw a bunch of... Oh, do I have to scroll up? No, there's no way that you have to scroll up. Well, yeah.

No, I think you do. Look, that's how you do it. I scroll up. Oh, God. I scroll up. I move away from the mic to breathe in ltt panties when akihiko says ltt panties win uh for two dollars great question no clue although well i guess maybe they are in the running because like linus made one for avon that one time yeah but that was like a custom one-off that was custom i mean we probably we're

being sexist by not having them um we might as well make them the uh at some point i already read that one that's that that's oh what oh one just came in oh hey brian ken ken alley riley come on come on like come up. Smell the maple nut crunch. Attached is my resume? Attached is my resume. Wait. What? I'm confused.

Are we supposed to show these on? Can you click on viewer activity there? Where? If you go right to the stream settings, you can go to viewer activity. Stream settings. Up. Yeah.

Viewer activity. Oh. Oh, we did it. Oh, okay. Here we go. Okay, we found it. We found the super chats, guys. Okay, thank goodness.

All right, we also got Jordan Abendroth, who for $2 said, Riley, I like your hat and your sweet beard. Thank you. The beard is going away. The hat is available on lttstore.com. said riley i like your hat and your sweet beard thank you the beard is going away the hat available is available on ltgstore.com we already we're such shills man it's it's crazy jeremy young you missed akihiko super chat no i didn't we just said that but thank you for the call out

matt eldridge says first ever super chat just for riley Alex. Wow. We made it. Thanks, Matt. Sergio Arroyo says, you guys are my faves. Need more screen on time. Well, that's not fair to Luke and Linus, though. I don't want to. Yeah. Thank you. This is their moment.

This is when they get to talk. Manal Sinha for $25 says, Riley, TechLinked is flipping awesome. Love all your content, dude. Alex's too. Aw. By the way, Alex, would you take that Vio laptop with all them ports you unboxed on Short Circuit if it had the Surface slash Dell trackpad? That's a good question.

Probably not, no. Because I didn't watch that Short Circuit. It doesn't have a 16 by 10 display or a 3 by 10 or 3 by 2 display. But the ports, Alex. It also doesn't have a touchscreen. It also is floppy. It's a real floppy one.
