I just clicked it again, and I think we're live now. Yep.
Hey there, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the WAN show. We're a little late.
I was busy rebuilding my dream PC from when I was a teenager.
Did you know that that's what we were working on? No. So,
when did you get into computer hardware? I'm trying to remember.
Like, what was, what was the shiz? Like, What did you lust after when you first got into it?
When I first got into computer hardware, there was no like...
I don't know how to say this.
I was so...
My family aggressively did not have money.
And I definitely didn't have very good methods of making my own.
I had some.
I started working when I was like 11 or 12 or something.
But the kind of work you're doing at that age,
you're not raising large funds to buy sweet things.
So I purposefully, even at that age,
was like, I'm just gonna not look.
So I don't actually know what the fatty items were
when I first jumped into it.
But I dealt with a lot of scrapping people's computers and working
with other people's stuff and looking online on how I could make those things
work. But I like purposely didn't look at the new things that were out there.
I didn't want to see like, oh this reasonably priced new computer has four
times the RAM you have. I'm just like, okay that's soul-crushing. So like I
don't actually really know. By the time I was buying stuff and like actually-
Oh no! We have the wrong title!
I updated it!
Look!
Did I do it in the wrong thing?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh well, the computer's been restarted so-
Oh no!
Uh, what's the title supposed to be? Oh no, is everything wrong?
Linux is in Windows. That's what I set it as.
Windows now comes with Linux.
It's on Twitch.
When show May 5th, 2019.
May 10th.
Oh, oh wow, yeah, it's the 10th.
Okay, neat.
I don't know if that updates now.
How does this work? I don't know. that updates now. How does this work?
I don't know.
Also, are these the sponsors?
I must have done it to the old VOD.
Probably not.
No, that would be on floatplane if you just did it over there.
You can copy those, though.
No, those are the wrong ones. Oh, wow.
Oh, because that was... Okay.
Why don't we jump into intro?
There's cool topics and stuff. We'll get to it in a moment. I must update the bottom, so...
Oh boy. Oh, that's bad too. Yeah, okay. Or it just didn't save? Okay.
Or it just didn't save? I don't know, I don't know.
Cause the computer's been restarted, so I'm not sure.
I don't know.
Bridge wallet, honey.
The font changes between our things.
Madrinas, thank you.
All right.
Oh, this is terrific.
This is terrific.
Welcome my friends to the WAN Show.
Because this is what it's really about, isn't it?
Pure quality.
Hanging out on a Friday.
No idea what's going on.
44 minutes late.
You literally copied, copy-pasted the part of the instructions from the blog that says,
copy-pasted the part of the instructions from the block that says
Sponsor video description block in brackets copy paste the below text. Heck yeah.
I'm just gonna- I'm just gonna share that with our friends out there, assuming my screen sharing even works.
I mean, they-
It does not.
If they're watching they can see-
It- okay, it did before the computer was restarted, and I was not the one that restarted the computer.
Everything was fine! Why did we restart the computer? Because the audio wasn't working.
There was a very legitimate reason. What do we do to fix it? I don't even... I don't even... I can't even I don't even I can't even
Do you wanna switch seats for me for a sec while I work on this?
No, it's fine. I just I thought there was a I thought there was a thing a device The land show stream is the most well refined stream. I think you own a properties thing. Yeah, I don't see it there though. I
Don't see the stop and start thing. It's not there,
Luke. It's not there.
It's not there.
I don't know the Blackmagic
stuff. I only know the
ABIO things. Oh, man. Okay. What was I
trying to do again? I'm trying to...
Are we talking about Microsoft?
Sure, yeah. Why don't we do that? That's pretty much all the news
we got is Microsoft stuff. I do also have
some links to Google I.O.
There's no notes for it.
Sure.
But we can talk about Google I.O.
We can still talk about it.
It's probably fine.
Cool, cool, cool.
This might be another one of those just like, you know,
talking about stuff land shows.
So, yeah, Microsoft.
Microsoft will be apparently shipping a full Linux kernel within Windows 10.
This was posted by Noack on the forum.
See how quickly I regained my composure?
Just like that.
Good job.
And basically, in a nutshell, they're planning to ship a full Linux kernel directly in Windows,
and that's the first time that the Linux kernel will be included as part of Windows
This is basically starting with the windows insider builds that are coming this summer. So it's not like
You're just like running Linux immediately and to be clear to be clear. It's not gonna be like a
Like I don't know. I don't know what I would have even, like if someone told me Linux is going to be in Windows,
I don't even know what I would have expected.
Like a weird virtual machine environment
or like, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know what I would have expected,
but basically it's an in-house custom built Linux kernel
that's going to underpin the newest version
of Windows subsystem for Linux.
It's going to be initially based on version 4.19,
which is the latest long-term stable release of Linux,
and it will be rebased at the designation of new long-term stable releases
to ensure that the WSL kernel always has the latest Linux goodness.
So what does this mean?
Like, what does this mean like what does this mean like i can i can install linux software
on windows like what what honestly i wish i was more informed um i have no idea
oh well that's awkward yeah awkward thank you in advance chat, who I'm sure is going to be jumping in
and telling us all about this.
Oh, apparently the thumbnail is still from the earlier video too.
I'm assuming, yeah, I see some comments about this too here.
I'm assuming this ties into our next topic,
which is new Windows terminal,
which has, you can select your command line app of choice.
So Command Prompt, PowerShell, Ubuntu, or on WSL,
or Raspberry Pi via SSH, et cetera.
That sounds like it ties in quite directly.
I think it's new terminal stuff.
I don't think there's going gonna be a lot of like,
hey, my Windows is running Linux.
I think it's just gonna give you more access to more tools,
which is really cool,
but I don't think it's actually gonna change
pretty much anything for the vast majority of users,
which is fine.
We're at the point where most operating systems
are kinda like that, but yeah.
This seems to fall in line, my opinion with satay and adela
is like each department should do the best thing they possibly can for their department instead of
needing to force uh microsoft stuff only and nothing else ever into everything they possibly
can so that's cool in other big news um the latest word on the street, and this is a, I have no idea how credible it is, but it's being reported pretty broadly, so take it for what it is.
It's rumor mill nonsense, but word on the street is that AMD's Ryzen 3000 series is going to include two 16 core mainstream desktop CPUs.
Now, I don't even know if with a straight face
you can really call that mainstream,
but I guess the definition's changing.
Yeah.
So.
At the same time, like I was thinking about this
the other day.
Yeah.
And I'm super happy, this is really cool news.
Yeah. I'm happy hardware is pushing forward
Yeah, my roommate still runs on a 3000 series processor and plays whatever games he wants just fine. Oh
Like a 3000 series Intel processor, right? So like a 37 70 K or 35 70 K or something like that, right?
Yep, and like he plays apex and
Pretty much whatever else he really feels like and it's it's totally okay
I'd really know I was watching a video recently talking about how like oh we haven't had like a new crisis
Experience in a while where like a game comes out. It's just like holy crap. That's amazing. It looks great
Absolutely incredible, but it's really hard on hardware. You've seen a lot of demos. Like, NVIDIA did that incredible
ray tracing demo with the storm
troopers in the elevator.
There's been some really... Ray tracing
demos in general. There's been a few of them,
but we haven't had that one game that
comes out and is like,
at least lighting-wise, which is a massive
portion of it, indiscernible from reality.
Which, we're getting
really, really, really really close and some
demos have been amazing um have you seen minecraft with ray tracing no it's actually incredible do
you have like a video is this something that microsoft actually produced uh no it was um
digital foundry oh of course okay it's. Minecraft with ray tracing.
So what exactly did they do?
Hold on.
Here, I'm going to go ahead and... Can you get my stream?
I'm going to see if your screen share doesn't work either.
Okay.
It was before the restart.
We fixed audio and it broke everything else.
It's fantastic.
Do we even know that the audio is fixed?
I mean, I haven't gotten a whole bunch of text messages, so I'm assuming yes.
Did you break it?
We didn't touch it. Laptop capture's not working and I don't know how to reset these.
Uh...
Yeah, like, wow.
You can't see it. You guys can't see it, but it's great.
Yeah, we'd love to show you guys this. It's super amazing.
If you check out, uh, foundry minecraft racing live play
It's uh it's pretty fantastic
Well, I want them to go outside though all right Luke you're coming up you're coming in hot. Oh wait. No you're not
You're coming in hot there you go hey all right yeah. You just have to switch it from SDI to HDMI.
That's the way to refresh these cards.
That's the refresh.
On the other ones, you used to be able to just turn them off.
I know.
On the other ones, you used to be able to deactivate and activate them,
which is why I got confused,
because I assumed there would be a way to deactivate and activate these ones,
but there isn't.
That's what happens when you let Jake build your thing.
So, wow.
Isn't that crazy?
That actually looks so much better than regular Minecraft.
Yeah.
There's some other cool scenarios that they go through.
So is this using like NVIDIA's ray tracing tech?
Is this RTX or is this just, it's Minecraft, so it's just brute force?
Honestly, I didn't think we were going this direction
on the WAN show, so I don't have this information ready.
But yeah, all I know is it's ray tracing.
There, look at the water.
Oh wait, hold on, I switched away from you.
The light reflections on the water is stunning.
No, I know.
Oh yeah, there we go.
Wow.
Super cool. And I'm sure there's other mods going on here. Yeah, but the ray tracing itself
Just makes the game look completely different. I have to confess. I have still never played Minecraft apparently
It's getting like more popular again now really who knows it'll just never die. It'll keep going
Well, I don't see why it would because it's in the same way that like why would lego ever die yeah you're always gonna want to go build something yeah yeah
you've never played it i've okay so to be clear i've opened the program and i've like
wandered around for three minutes and gotten confused because i just okay i don't guess i'm
done i don't really get it. Yeah, but like I I
There's there wasn't a tutorial or anything so I was just like
Okay, now I have some grass and a dead cow I like I thought I built some amazing thing and then I like went on YouTube and was like nope nope
I'm terrible. I'm the worst and then I decided that I would never be able to build anything actually cool
So I just built a treehouse and then quit.
That's my Minecraft experience.
That's your entire Minecraft story.
But it looks beautiful with ray tracing.
I just, I don't know.
I think maybe I have a little bit of hardware fatigue.
Right, okay.
Just because I don't see it getting utilized super well.
So, I mean, you can always find use cases for it.
Absolutely.
So, okay.
Let's say, so let's go back to that rumor, which I can actually show you guys now on the Enquirer.net here.
There's like some typos in this article and stuff, but we're just going to hit on the main beats.
hit on the main beats yeah so they are they are saying that they believe the ryzen 3800x and 3850x will be at the top of the processor lineup they'll both be 16 core 32 i'm sure they mean threads here
and they'll be among the eight cpus that they'll be launching this month so this is a tweet from
apisac uh saying zen 2 so remember guys ryzen 3000 series is reportedly going to be zen 2
not zen plus like zen improved like we got the ryzen 2000 series it was a little confusing
because you had ryzen with the number one and then the rest of the model number and then you had ryzen 2 and stuff but that wasn't ryzen 2
so ryzen 2 has to be based on the zen 2 architecture not just like fine-tuned for
better memory compatibility and like slightly better clock speeds so what we're looking at
apparently and this is based on an engineering sample that allegedly turned up, is a base clock of 3.3 gigahertz, a boost of 4.2, which is sounding pretty darn good, and this was running on an X570 motherboard.
It actually sounds reasonably plausible. And this is allegedly, again,
what the full lineup might look like.
And if this is true, wait, what is this?
This is kind of conflicting with it.
Someone else said this is an early sample,
there's room for improvement.
Last December, this apparently surfaced,
but we don't know how much truth there is to it.
I would be very surprised to see a 16 core processor with a base of 4.3 and a boost of
5.1.
I think that might be a fanboy fever dream, but if AMD does pull this off, then boy is
Intel ever going to have something to react to. And the bizarre thing from Intel's side,
especially right now, is that because
they're currently experiencing a shortage
on all of their 14 nanometer plus plus products,
they aren't even really in a position to drop pricing.
No.
So the thing about that is that even if
this processor launch from AMD doesn't affect Intel sales because they can effectively sell everything they can make at the price that they've already set, what it could at the very least do is affect Intel's perception among enthusiasts.
Because if Intel doesn't drop their price, that does the kind of damage to your brand over the longer term
That's really hard to get away from. Oh
Intel is overpriced Intel's a ripoff AMD gives you better performance at the same price or it gives you the same
performance for a lower price like that's the kind of perception that sticks with you and
like that's the kind of perception that sticks with you and it's easy for especially people who pay really close attention to technology news to go well
no because you know Intel might Conroe the market again and completely you know
turn AMD on its head but here's the thing I still get you know, just talking to me in casual conversation like,
oh, I didn't get AMD because AMD runs hot.
And it's like, well, no.
AMD made processors at one point that did run pretty hot.
Old hype news dies hard.
Exactly.
So it can take you years.
It has been over two years since amd launched ryzen think about that for a minute that's actually kind of spooky right it feels like it was so
recent right it's been over two years makes sense though and you still get people saying things like
oh amd runs really hot.
Well, no, Ryzen doesn't.
Like, anything runs hot if you overclock it or whatever.
But no, Ryzen has very reasonable thermals.
And, I mean, you ran into the same thing, like, back in the Intel Prescott days. So there was a time back in, like, I don't know, 2006, whenever it was? 2007, I don't know.
When Intel's processors ran so hot that those systems,
if you can get your hands on something like
an Intel Prescott 3.4 or 3.6 gigahertz
or something like that, that's still running today,
I guarantee you the motherboard is like darkened. I was just gonna say, the still running today part I guarantee you, the motherboard is like darkened.
I was just gonna say the still running today part
would be surprising.
Yeah, like the chip might work,
there's no way that motherboard works.
Those things suck so much power,
they ran so freaking hot,
and that plagued Intel again for years.
Oh, I'm gonna get AMD,
because Intel CPUs run hot.
So this has the potential, if any of this is even remotely true to do long-term damage to Intel's
Perception among enthusiasts and the thing about enthusiasts is that there frankly aren't that many of them
I think that sometimes the like the high-end gaming community and the enthusiast and overclocking communities get all up in their own self-importance, thinking that they actually matter. like a Dell or an HP is probably moving more CPUs
than your entire market segment over a year or more.
That's the cold, hard truth.
And yes, the enthusiast segment does buy higher margin,
like K unlocked chips and all that kind of stuff.
But it's not,
you're not going to make or break
a brand like Intel
or even AMD at this point
now that they're finally winning
some OEM contracts.
But what you do have the power to do
is you have the power
to influence the sphere around you.
You know, if you're talking like... That I would say I think there's quite a bit of.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So talking to you, the viewer right now, each one of you, I'm sure sometime in the last
month, someone, be they friend or family, has come to you with tech advice.
You're very likely the family tech.
Exactly.
Sometimes it's like totally irrelevant.
Like my in-laws the other day i was over there for dinner
and they pull out this they're like yeah we got this um this thing from costco and we we don't
know how to use it and i'm like oh lordy what is it this time um and they pull it out and it's a
solar powered like motion sensing light for their porch okay and I'm like it's powered by electricity though man
you know how it works so like I've never set one of these up before like I think my superpower
must be that I can just read a manual yeah or google something like honestly a lot of the time
isn't that just all it is a lot of the time like how to use a piece of software
like just clicking things seeing what they do and if I break everything no, okay, that's good control Z. Yeah
It's probably undoable mousing over reading the little text that pops up. So anyway, I'm looking at this thing. I'm like, okay, so
It's got a
It's got a light
Alright, it's got a little thing in the front. That's your motion sensor and then there's this wire and it's got a light. All right. It's got a little thing in the front. That's your motion sensor. And then
there's this wire and it's got a solar panel. So this probably goes where you want light when it
detects a thing. And then this probably goes where the sun is. Well, do they need to go together?
Well, there's a very long wire on it so probably not probably not
anyway sometimes so sometimes it's totally off topic greatest detective yeah
um but other times you're really influencing key decisions like hey um you know what laptop
should i get and non-techie people if we're being honest they actually don't care no they just want to
make sure that they're not doing something notably stupid so if you're like that one you're coming
from a at least somewhat informed position and they're like oh okay cool like my aunt for example
i always end up picking on my poor aunt just very nice person didn't know the difference between an
iphone and an android phone okay so i like, what kind of phone do you want?
She's like, well, I have an iPhone.
Meanwhile, it's a 5C, and this is like four months ago.
I really should have just upgraded her earlier.
It doesn't matter.
The point is, she's like, I've got an iPhone.
I just want something that I don't have to relearn.
And I'm like, okay.
You're going to be relearning.
So here's the thing.
Yeah.
Apple did a way. you know that one button?
Like the one button you still had.
It's gone.
With that said, I could give you an older Android device
that still has a button.
So functionally, it's actually more similar to your old iPhone
than a new iPhone is to your old iPhone.
And she kind of looked at both of them, didn't understand either of them when I showed her the new ones.
And I was like, okay, so you had a picture of a phone.
You still got a picture of a phone.
You just touched the phone.
Right, but this this one where's the
dial pad and I'm like but it's fine the dial pads here but the iPhone it brings
up the contacts first I'm like right but they both got both options it's okay
anyway at the end of the day she wanted the iPhone because she knew the iPhone
but she could have just as easily learned an Android phone it actually
didn't matter and I think a lot of the time, especially the people that have both techie families and techie social circles,
can totally lose track of how normal people operate because you get so caught up in these little details like,
oh, well, the MacBook Pro thermal throttles 15% of the time.
thermal throttles to 15% of the time. So at the most people are probably only ever going to like browse Facebook, regardless of whether they get a Mac or a Windows PC. So it comes down to just
getting whatever like makes them happy. So you, you the tech influencer, have a lot of power here,
because at the end of the day, they're just probably going to get whatever you say, or they're
not going to get what you say. At some point'll probably regret it and then maybe they'll get what you say next time
i'm trying to find this i don't really remember i was going with that um this this is pretty
somewhat off topic but i'm trying to find this thread where i i want to throw the forum under
the bus pretty hard uh we don't get, and I mean, we wouldn't have anyways
because there's no real reason to,
but we don't really get rid of stuff on the forum
unless it's, like, we don't get rid of stuff that attacks us,
and this was attacking other people,
which sometimes we would get rid of,
but it was all anonymous, so it was okay.
But it was, I don't remember the exact thread name,
but it was in general discussion years ago,
and I'm sure it's still live because it was surviving many years after the point where it was okay. But it was, I don't remember the exact thread name, but it was in general discussion years ago, and I'm sure it's still alive
because it was surviving many years
after the point where it was posted.
But it was like Tales from Tech Support.
But the name wasn't exactly that.
Yeah, no, no.
Your experience with non-techies or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Super legendary, massive thread on the forum.
And I've hated it.
I've thought about killing it a lot of times
it's been alive actually here it is experiences with non-techies uh it's got like 1238 pages
and i think this is sort of an example of um okay well this one from one of our moderators is actually pretty fair um people putting stuff
on top of an electric baseboard seriously why do people do that that's not even well it is kind of
techie electric baseboard it's is it technology or not okay but a wheel's technology. Okay. A string is technology. Some people...
Sewing is technology.
So...
She'll probably never watch this, so I think I'm pretty safe.
Cooking influences technology pretty heavily.
But we had a nanny at one point...
Books are technology.
...that couldn't manage to put, like, the forks in the fork tray
and the spoons in the spoon tray.
I'm not talking, like, the big forks and the small forks.
I'm talking, like, forks and spoons.
Just, like... I think you know sort of how much respect I have for the human race in general.
It's something I don't talk about much on the land show.
And like the best part too is I know you have a particular thing about dishwasher organization.
And I'm very fussy when it comes to cutlery it's one of my aspie
things um so i can totally believe that that just drove you wild it's the kind of thing where like
i will open the drawer to get a thing and it's not like it's kind of it's bad enough that i have to
like dig through it in order to find the thing I need,
but then I have to reorganize the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
A fork is technology.
But to change gears a little bit, gears, also technology,
to change gears a little bit here,
I think that we all need to reflect once in a while and try to imagine something that we don't know anything, that we know a laughably small amount about, but that someone else who, frankly, doesn't know or care about the difference between a Mac and a Windows PC might be an expert in.
Like, if you were to get dumped onto a farm, would you do any, like, I'm talking a real one, would you be able to operate the equipment or deal with the animals any better than that,
let's say, farmer would be able to sit down and, and describe the nuances of iOS versus Android.
Like being honest.
I'm sure there's crossover in both those directions.
Of course.
But.
I was just using it as an example of something that you might not know anything about.
I was just pointing it so people don't freak out.
Of course there are plenty of tech literate farmers.
In fact, farming is more technology heavy than it's ever been.
There's actually a lot of very high tech stuff in farming.
Farming is by definition technology.
It is.
Everything's technology, I suppose.
But so, yeah, I don't know.
I've always hated that thread because it's like, oh, come on.
Give it a break.
Gandhi asks if Linus really has autism.
So my family has a lot of autism in it.
The way that I would describe myself is to say I have a touch of the Aspie.
Now, Asperger's is no longer considered by the WHO a real disorder because to.
Oh, yeah, I was a while back because to say that feeling
socially awkward and like you are made uncomfortable about certain things is
like I mean there's a reason they call it autism spectrum disorder like that's
everybody as far as yeah at least some scenario. Who's not on it? Yeah.
That's what I want to know.
Okay.
So, yeah, I do have some ticky behaviors.
I do have some things that make me irrationable, like, irrationally frustrated.
Like, I just, like, I can't handle it.
But, no, I have never been diagnosed with autism.
It's just something that, like I said, runs in my family pretty strongly.
And we all sit somewhere on there for sure, just to varying degrees.
So there.
Right.
My T-shirt is technology, according to YouTube chat.
Yep.
Noise bombs.
Farming, the most underrated technology by a long shot.
There's actually, okay, you know what?
If you want to go down a weird YouTube rabbit hole,
there's some pretty wild farming tech, okay?
Just, you know, you can go down that rabbit hole if you want.
We should probably do sponsors.
Speaking of wild.
Oh, man, that timing.
This wallet.
It's technology. It's technology.
It's technology.
Yep.
Stop carrying pointless items around in your pocket,
like receipts, old hotel room keys, or spent gift cards.
I wonder how many of those things I legitimately have in my wallet right now.
Like a week ago, I pitched an old hotel room key.
Here's a receipt.
You know what?
I was actually pretty sure I had an old hotel room key.
I must have gotten rid of it, because I accidentally kept one from my last trip.
Mine was legit like last week or something. I don't have any spent gift cards. I actually keep mine
Wow, I actually keep mine pretty clean these days
Do you want to play what do you have in your wallet? Spent gift card. Nice! Yeah
So I have receipts and spent gift card. I don't have old hotel room key because I got rid of it last week
Okay, I would have been three for three though. So I have receipts and spent gift card. I don't have old hotel room key because I got rid of it last week. I would have been three for three, though.
So I've got my health insurance benefits card.
Yep, yep.
I've got my BCAA membership.
Is this one expired?
I don't think it actually matters.
I don't think your number changes.
I've got my driver's license.
I've got my Costco card. i've got my costco card
okay so far we're exactly tied executive member
nice thing of beauty uh i've got my access card for uh for work yep i've got One for one so far. One... Okay, now I lose.
Two... Three...
Three debit cards.
Those are all debit?
Those are all debit, yeah.
Oh, man.
So the reason is that I've got my joint account with the waifu.
Okay.
I've got my work debit card.
And then I've also got my my just in case we ever get divorced
i still need to have a bank account debit card no i'm just kidding i've just been a customer at td
since i was like six and i think having a very very long-standing account can have advantages
if you ever go to negotiate with them on like something. It's a free account, so it costs me nothing to have it.
I just have to have a balance of like greater than $10 or something like that.
So I just hold on to it just in case.
Like the other thing too is because Yvonne handles all of our money,
it's really hard for me to do simple things like buy her a birthday present
without it showing up on the credit card.
And so like I've had to resort to stupid things like hey hon uh don't look at the credit card statement for a bit and
don't log into amazon and she's like i'm actually your accountant i actually need to do those things
okay so uh you're gonna see the line item before you see the item itself.
Yeah, so I have three debit cards, and then I have four credit cards.
I have personal and business Canadian cards,
and then personal and business USD cards.
Yeah, you've got me there.
I also have some cash.
Because I'm feeling retro.
I have some cash, too.
You've got some cash, feeling retro?
Yep.
And then I did, I had one receipt. So have some cash, too. You got some cash? Feeling retro? Yep. And then I did.
I had one receipt.
So I actually run a fairly tight ship, but I do think I need to carry.
Do you keep change?
No.
No change.
So my system for change is actually pretty straightforward.
I downgraded to a smaller wallet.
So I actually fully support the smaller wallet, assuming you don't have too many cards for it.
I actually downgraded to a smaller wallet a number of...
Well, you can see how many years ago it was.
I really need a new wallet.
I should probably just...
You've pretty much had that wallet the whole time I've known you, I think.
Oh, definitely.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
So I downgraded because I had resolved to not carry around change or too many receipts anymore.
Okay.
And so I devised a new system for change.
So the only thing I really use change for
is to pay an exact change for Monday night badminton
and for hot lunch day for my son, school,
and stuff like that, like when I need
to send money to school.
So I do need change, but I don't need it on me.
Change goes along with my screwdriver
in my back right pocket okay and then deposited every night at the end of the day i put it in my
change bucket and then anytime i need change i get it from there so i never actually spend change
i only acquire change and then when i specifically need it. So, uh, we did a staycation,
uh, because one of the things that one of my daughters asked to do on our vacation was to
ride the bus. And I was like, well, that's a cheap date. Um, cool. So when we needed to go
ride the bus as a family, I had somewhere to go for change because you can't not have any change. Mm-hmm. That's inconvenient
I when I travel I like to have some cash on me and deal with cash
Sometimes just because every once in a while your cards will freak out and I like to just have some amount of local cash
and then I also
Really like collecting relatively small denominations
But still have a little bit of the change
and a little bit of the cash
from different countries that I go to
just because I find it really interesting
how they keep their stuff.
So then I often have like some weird mix of change
from multiple different countries in the pocket
until I deposit it at home,
which I constantly forget to do.
But yeah.
This is actually pretty sick.
Actually, a number of people internally have switched to it.
We should probably do the actual talking points here.
That would probably be a good idea.
Helps you carry less.
It uses two metal RFID blocking plates
that are bound by a strong elastic band
that keeps your cards tightly together
but still accessible.
You just pop them out like that,
shloop, and then they just kinda slip back in like that.
Looks and feels slick, comes in different materials
like aluminum, carbon fiber, and titanium,
and makes a great gift for Father's Day,
which is June 16th.
By the way, guys, more importantly,
Mother's Day this Sunday, don't forget.
Woo, boo, boo, PSA, PSA, Mother's Day this Sunday.
At least send her a text message, all right?
Bare minimum.
And, and, learned this the hard way,
your wife of your children, your mother of your children,
also a mother, make sure you acknowledge her too.
Don't miss that one.
There was this one Mother's Day when, like,
are you setting a reminder for yourself?
I'm setting a tweet.
Generally, I do tweet reminders for everybody to try to help.
I know maybe our community isn't the greatest at remembering these types of things.
Remember the experience with non-techies thing?
Our community is not necessarily great at certain other stuff.
So I try to help other people because I have problems remembering these things as well.
So when I get reminded, I tweet it out and help other people.
It's so funny.
And then them responding to the tweet constantly reminds me that it's coming.
So it's actually helpful for me as well.
I try not to generalize,
but the thing is,
like, within the techie community,
I would say that consideration
for things like special occasions
is generally on the low end.
Yeah.
Compared to the general population the likelihood of at a at a let's say in a company okay in a company of mostly techie people like
this one versus a company of um like my wife's old job as a pharmacist. So a pharmacy where it's predominantly female.
The likelihood of someone
showing up at our office
with cupcakes
to celebrate someone's birthday
or like
or a handcrafted
gift to celebrate someone
having a baby that
everyone signs and like hand
delivers to them.
Much less likely here. much more likely there.
I'm not going to, I try not to generalize.
I'm just saying, guys.
I'm horrible with this stuff.
I'm absolutely terrible about it.
It's always been kind of helpful for me because I am terrible about it and traditionally my boss man
Doesn't give two craps at all. Yeah
Forget my birthday
365 times a year you can forget my birthday
Even the times that I do remember usually just like okay cool. See ya
And the great thing is you'll usually be right. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like a very high percentage of the time.
Yeah.
Higher than 99.
Pretty solid.
It'll have more uptime than floatplane.
Whoa.
Floatplane's actually had pretty good uptime.
Actually, it's had pretty good uptime.
I'm just fucking kidding.
I was just thinking on top of my head.
I was like, wait, maybe not.
Next?
Yeah, right.
Oh, right.
Wow. It's taking us a while to make our way through our sponsors.
Yeah, sorry about that. Also brought
to you, but well, I don't know, we ended up talking about other things.
That's fair. Also brought to you by Honey.
So when you buy something online and find
out later you could've got it for less,
that suuuuucks.
Unfortunately, online
coupon codes can be a
total pain in the arse.
Like, honestly, who hasn't done this?
Google, like, because you'll be in the checkout, and there it is, it's tantalizing.
The coupon code field, or the voucher field.
Someone's probably got one of those.
Someone probably has one.
Can I have that too?
So you Google it.
Come on, man.
And you come up with, like, all these results. And there's all these even like large websites that are dedicated to compiling all of these coupon codes.
And you enter them all in and none of them freaking work.
So Honey does all of that for you.
It's a free browser extension that saves you money when you shop online.
Honey scans the internet for coupon codes and other discounts.
Then like magic, it automatically applies them to your card at checkout.
It knows a lot of coupon codes, sale or discount codes
at over 37,000 sites like Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy,
GameStop, Walmart, eBay, and more.
It takes just two clicks to install,
so head over to honey.com forward slash Linus
and install Honey for free today.
Lots of people in the office use it, including me.
It's pretty sweet.
Also brought to you by Madrina's Coffee.
Oh, man.
So, Madrina's, they sponsored the roast, as you know.
Yep.
And we had a bit of a snafu with the YouTube version of the roast,
which, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be going live on...
Which one is it?
Oh, wow, tomorrow.
I was just going to say, I think it's tomorrow.
Cool.
So we'll be going live on Saturday,
tomorrow at around noon.
We had a bit of a snafu with it today
where we uploaded it,
and we didn't make it public but we
accidentally added it to a playlist so a handful of people happened across it and
I think this is going to be a fairly polarizing piece of content yeah not
everyone is gonna like it hopefully you don't judge me or Madrina's based on the things
that are said by some of the people in the roast
which I think might have been happening
but just remember guys as you're
watching it, it was all in good fun
and we're still friends
and it's all good.
Were more people worried about us?
So there weren't a lot of comments but the like
dislike ratio was 1 to 2.
Whoa! Whoa! Okay, how many people saw it though? So there weren't a lot of comments, but the like-dislike ratio was 1 to 2. Whoa.
Okay, how many people saw it, though?
Not many.
It only had about 50 views.
Okay.
But it had 8 dislikes.
Yeah.
That's kind of weird.
Pretty strong.
Yeah. The weird thing is almost everyone absolutely loved it on flow plane. Yeah
Who where we'll find kind of our super I think super supporters. I think you're gonna get more people there that understand
Because they know the people that are on stage more more likely
Because you're you're cutting out
I know there's definitely gonna be people that watch on YouTube
that just either don't want to or don't have the cash to watch on Flowplane
that are super hardcore fans.
That's totally cool.
But you're also going to have a higher percentage of people that aren't.
Yeah.
And if you're not very familiar with everyone on stage
and how friendly those people actually are,
some of those interactions might come across a little weird.
I'm not sure.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
I honestly, like, I've watched the entire thing through about four times now.
And it was entertaining every single time.
I think it's a fantastic piece of content.
The only thing that makes me sad about it is the the audio tracks
yeah the the audience audio is not ideal yeah and i'm i come through everything yeah you're
pretty my laugh gets through everybody's mic so we didn't actually have for whatever reason the
production company that helped us with it did not provide the multi-channel audio for the evening
so we couldn't just turn you down when you weren't talking oh we only got a single audio track
so with everything mixed that makes more sense i was like why i know my laugh is ridiculous but
this is a little mess so what i would recommend in order to have the best experience with it is to turn the volume up higher than you normally would luke's going to be super loud but
you'll be able to hear the audience reacting to the jokes which adds a lot it's going to add a lot
because the the biggest problem is like something will be funny and the the presenter person will
pause for laughter and you just like stare at them sitting there it's
like okay weird it's really regrettable that we didn't have a we we were
considering putting in a laugh track but we ended up opting to leave it Oh
natural for better or worse yeah because the thing about a laugh track is there's
so many different laughter reactions Oh
Laughter, reactions.
Oh!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Like, it's just so varied that we weren't going to be able to make it good.
So I would rather just leave it natural and then at least people can have, you know, for better or for worse. I've watched it a couple times, too, though.
I do find it quite funny, but I can also, yeah, I don't know.
I can understand why some people, it might not be their cup of tea. I don't know. I can also yeah, I don't know I can understand why some people it might not be their cup
Of tea, I don't know
Some of the dislikes might have also been
Like hey, this isn't what this playlist is. No, we've accidentally put stuff in playlists before. It's not really all right, okay
You know I was trying
Should we should we show a short, like, teaser?
Sure.
Is that a good idea?
Sure.
Okay.
It's going live anyways.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's do a short teaser for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
You can just show it on floatplane.
So here you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, do they have the true version?
This might show the URL, right?
Oh.
The unlisted URL.
What a tremendous thought that I didn't think of.
Hooray.
Oh, actually, there's a float plane exclusive.
I don't know if you saw this.
This went up today.
I didn't.
That's cool.
All the red carpet interviews, director's cut.
And I believe by director's cut, we mean completely not cut.
Because we didn't have time.
No, I don't think I can show the float plane one.
Or wait, yes I can.
I can show this one.
Okay.
All right.
So I'm gonna turn on audio.
I don't know how well that's gonna work.
But I mean, we do have a warning on it, in fairness to us.
Man, I love this intro.
Wait for it, wait for it wait for it wait for it
after i think i'm after yeah last name it's spelled wrong yeah i know we fixed that for
the youtube release just minor things and that weird interlacing issue we fixed that too too I look so ridiculous in my in my like Grand Theft Auto intro screen thing
yeah that stage was so cool I know it ended up looking so great
freaking James's grandiose intro someone Someone with a Chinese username says,
what's funny is people think they actually read this chat.
Occasionally we do.
I don't know if they can actually hear this or not.
No audio.
I have, okay, yeah, that's fine.
It's fine, it's fine.
Anyway, it looks really good.
And yeah, we're going to have to figure out if we can get audio off of this.
Thanks for playing chat.
Yeah, thanks.
Thanks, guys.
Oh, man.
I hope it.
I hope people like it.
Do we have any other main topics today?
Or did it take us that?
Oh, wait.
I never did the Madrinas talking points.
Okay.
So good luck, Madrinas.as hopefully everyone doesn't hate you and
us yeah you know if you guys liked the roast then you know please help keep
madrinas afloat by ordering their coffee for fuel their organic cold brew coffee
and convenient 16 ounce cans 16 ounce they're 15 ounces them and they're
rounding up they're like well everyone does it I'm like I don't. They're 15 ounces. Them and their rounding up. They're like, well,
everyone does it. I'm like, I don't care. They're 15 ounce cans with a flavor for
everyone. And we're launching our second branded product, the LTT Vanilla Colt
Brew with Madrina's Coffee. That's on tomorrow's YouTube release, so be sure to
watch that episode. And also, we have, of course, the Lambo Roast. It's
madrinascoffee.com slash Linus to get 40% off your order with code Linus.
I'm also really excited about the exclusive,
exclusive, I don't know, limited edition.
Because we actually can't get enough shirts
to print as many of these as we want.
But the limited edition LTT roast commemorative T-shirt.
Have you seen this?
Have you heard about this check it out
So, oh yes, yeah, I have seen that that's legit it's the the this is fine meme sort of inspired
We only have I think about
600 of them or something like that
That's like all that we could get in this shirt color and I really really wanted the red one for this so
I am not expecting these to last past about the first hour or two. Yeah now to be clear
We don't normally sell that kind of volume of shirts
But we also don't normally do limited edition shirts and when we do they tend to sell really well
It's just it's kind of thing. We try not to overdo like that tech link shirt with the tape i forget how many units of that we move
but it was like so funny because the inspiration for it really was just like yeah i actually just
like we didn't intend to make it a shirt yeah until it was, like, already created. Anyway. Well, the design's done, so you just put it up.
By the way, while you're at it, if you want to grab the water bottle,
we have more shipments coming in three to four weeks, I believe.
So there you go.
So I think that's pretty much it for WAN Show for today,
unless there's anything else that you wanted to talk through.
We didn't talk about Google I.O. at all.
Oops.
Hey, at least we did our headline topic.
We did.
I think we did a good...
For a few seconds.
I think we did a good third of the show on tech news today.
And it was front-loaded.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was just mostly not in the doc.
Yeah. No, that was good. That was good. Yeah. No, that's fair. I did good? Yeah. Good job. Good boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just mostly not in the dock. Yeah, that was good.
That was good.
Yeah, that was fair.
I did good?
Yeah, good job.
Good boy.
Yeah.
Yeah, Google I.O. happened.
Android Q, which, some of this stuff,
like I think everyone knew Pixel 3a,
Pixel 3a XL, and Android Q were coming.
There was some other cool stuff.
One thing that I like is Maps AR.
Have you seen that?
No.
So, like, you'll be able to hold up your screen and, like, see the city,
and it'll be, like, racing game-style arrows being, like, go this way and stuff.
And that's pretty cool for when you're walking around.
Sometimes in cities it is a little misleading because the thing is confused all the time.
I mean, I don't have a lot of trouble just seeing the arrow, but then again i'm not the kind of person who puts spoons in the fork tray so
i can see why we need to simplify things like walking down the street
reading an address number that's fair that's fair it's also coming with uh i tend you know
it's funny i tend to be kind of a hater about like new technology. Like I still don't have a Google Home or an Alexa or excuse me, an Echo.
I got a Google Home for free and I used it for a little bit and then unplugged it because
it was just annoying when I was trying to use my phone's voice control stuff.
And I realized something.
I was like going to do something on my phone the other day.
And I was like, oh, a lot of people would do this
with voice control or something.
But for me, it is literally faster to just do it myself.
But then, I'm gonna pick on my poor aunt again.
I love my aunt dearly.
I was watching her use her phone the other day.
And she's like trying to key a destination
into like Google Maps or something.
And I'm just like, what are you doing?
Like it auto completes. You don't
even have to type the whole thing. My dad
uses voice commands really effectively.
And I use voice commands almost exclusively
to set alarms.
Yeah.
I'll set an alarm with voice commands.
It's genuinely really fast and it works
basically all the time.
Setting reminders, who knows what the reminder is going to be for.
You know what I hate about reminders?
It's such a gentle nudge.
Yes.
It's like, hey.
And a lot of the time the reminder won't even be the top of thing.
Yeah.
And there's no time stamp next to it.
I wish, you know how when you're setting a reminder of some sort, you can set like, oh, I want a notification, I want an email.
There should be set an alarm off.
I believe you can do that.
Okay, Google.
Sorry, everyone.
Set an alarm reminding me to rotate the wash in 10 minutes.
No, no, no, no.
More than 24 hours.
Yeah, no, I think there's a way to...
I don't think you can set an alarm for more than 24 hours
from now oh you might be right i think there is a way to set an alarm with a text thing though i
can't remember how to do it yeah yeah but like i want every it's a reminder i need to know like
yeah that's an okay i had this thought the other day that okay first of all sim card technology
i wish was further than it is now you should be able to have maybe i'm totally off on this and
just don't know but you should be able to have more than one phone number and i want a phone
number that i can have in my phone that isn't my main phone number that's like for float plane
stuff and if something goes through that and i don't open that text message or respond to that call my phone needs to go nuclear
Just freak out. I don't care flash the light
Do tons of noise vibrate like crazy and just don't stop that's it for four hours if you need to that seems like the kind
Of thing you could do with like if this than that or something
Probably like like I just get a call on sim 2 then but like i kind of wish there was a way that i could like give you
right one of those phone numbers right so that you could call the like this needs to get freaking
through phone number now is it still a thing that you can make an urgent call?
I don't know. I know there was a way to prioritize whether it was text messages or calls I know there but there what used to be a way to like flag it
I don't know if it was ever widely supported
I just know I'd seen it on a couple of phones over the years. How do market call urgent?
Yeah, I don't know um but yeah i just wish there was a way to like
and i don't want it to be overused so i would want it to be a thing where like
you have to give someone access to this right whether it's a phone number or whether it's
whatever well i wish there was a way to set people as higher priority contacts but the only thing i
think it affects is whether they can punch through do not disturb and but but that's and that's not enough that's yeah and like i and i and i need you're talking
you want to wake up when you're sleeping yes right and that's very i'm a rather hard person to wake
up and like my freaking phone i hate this so much you can't have your ringtone and your notification
tones on separate volume levels. Really? Oh.
I think mine can.
Don't quote me on that, though.
Is that Samsung?
Yeah.
Yeah, so I believe Samsung can.
Yeah, I can.
Yeah.
And I think there's some way to do it on non-Samsung devices,
but I don't think there's a way to do it stock.
I think you have to root or something.
Right.
But that's just ridiculous.
And another part of the thing is most of the phone calls that i get are not important just to be completely honest half of the ones i get are spam these days yeah exactly yeah so i
don't actually want it to be super annoying right but right if someone has the special like i don't
know maybe call my phone and then while it's ringing, if you put in a code, be like, nope, this one's important. Go through everything, max volume it, go crazy.
It seems like the kind of thing that should be possible. Yeah, I don't know. Speaking of possible,
updating on LTX. So here's our update. Are you interested in learning about video creation?
Think you can edit an LTT video better than our team in an hour?
We are actually doing this as a booth.
So you can come to the Editing Den booth, show us your skills.
Taryn will be on site to show you the ropes and help answer your questions.
When you show up, there will be somewhere between six and eight editing workstations
loaded up with Adobe Premiere and Photoshop.
Yes, you have to edit with Adobe, sorry.
Along with A-roll footage and a combination of B-roll clips.
Sound files and templates will also be provided along with our animated intro and end screen.
And each station will have a timer.
You'll have exactly one hour to put together your wonderful creation.
We'll record your name and contact info, store the video,
then review them about a week after LTX is over to pick our winner.
The winner will receive their very own video editing workstation.
That's the part where I was like, whoa, I read ahead.
That's crazy.
Is that sponsored or something?
We'll figure it out.
The exact specs are TBD.
Like, to be clear, it's not going to be like a Xeon W3175X.
But still.
But we're talking like an 8-core Ryzen, 16 gigs of RAM,
like something respectable.
That's cool.
It'll be something respectable.
So that's going to be pretty cool.
If you don't already have a ticket for LTX, what are you waiting for?
We announced some new creators.
Snazzy Labs is coming now.
Yeah.
So like we're spending more money.
It's fine now.
Everything's fine.
We're actually selling enough tickets that like
actually might be fine but oh please buy more tickets anyway yeah that'd be great it's a good
it's a good time uh and then i think there was also one more thing that i had wanted to
oh right super chats okay i felt so bad two weeks ago someone super chatted a hundred dollars we forgot it last week too and
someone super chatted a hundred dollars again okay well i felt bad two weeks ago i felt bad
last week well you were there two weeks i was there on both streams anyway so i just wanted
to jump in guys um i did get in touch with that person and did answer their question.
Oh, cool.
Even though I did not catch them on stream.
Hi, JustEaten.
Hi, Robert Jr.
Nathan says, there's something on my shirt.
Haha, JK.
Okay.
You guys are just such a wonderful group so weird oasis hi zach hi david cook
hi it's fake free google money apparently thank you for that anyone who super chats by the way
if you don't have a floatplane subscription you should do that instead um a higher percentage of it actually makes it to us
just so you know well me not him but like because i technically own uh well have ownership stakes
in both finest media group and float plane it's a pretty great deal like it's it's better um
than the amount google takes uh you stripe because you know it's just eaten yeah should we have talked about paypal being a bunch
of buttheads this week it's kind of a big topic i was i was considering if we had the old mixer
here not the old mixer the one mixer we had that one with the square button i was just gonna start
the rant and then get you to hold it for like two or three minutes oh man paypal it has been a bad
scene we were looking at seriously de-emphasizing PayPal's presence on the QuoteBank site.
Guess whose payment processor PayPal is now secondary for.
eBay.
Wait, whoa.
Oh, I was going to guess.
Were you going to guess eBay?
Well, I just couldn't remember who they were most closest.
It was on the tip of my brain.
Oh, I wanted to get it right.
I'm sorry. But maybe I'd have gotten it wrong anyway. So thank it was on the tip of my brain, aw, I wanted to get it right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
But maybe I'd have gotten it wrong anyway,
so thank you for at least saving me the embarrassment.
eBay though, it's wild.
I didn't know that.
Apparently this happened like a little while ago.
Like this is not actually super new news,
this was sometime in 2018.
But yeah, I don't actually remember who, sorry,
but one of my guys brought it up in the meeting today.
Never noticed.
eBay even deprioritized paypal like
it's not it's still there but it's not their main payment processor interesting wild absolutely wild
um hi jonathan um wade says tech tips on top heck yeah sure uh ben says can you please talk about
the boing pentathlon yeah there's been a
bunch of people talking about that in in the full plane chat i was gonna bring it up after the super
chats but um here yeah let's keep going i i'll bring this up after the super chat landon says

hi jonathan young jonathan young says are y'all going to make out or what?
Jake Likes Tech says, hey, about the new Ryzen CPUs.
I've had about three Ryzen chips in the last year and a half,
and all of them have had bad luck.
That's why I'm looking to go Intel, because they have better chances.
I think you might mean with respect to overclocking,
and it's not bad luck.
AMD's current Ryzen chips don't
really overclock much.
Like the lower tier ones will overclock to like the same level as the higher tier ones
in a lot of cases but they don't really go much further they have kind of a hard wall.
Intel has a hard wall too it's just at a higher frequency because Intel's got a little bit more experience making decent
CPUs right now.
But AMD's catching up.
And by more experience, I mean that as kind of an underhanded jab at Intel, to be very
clear to you guys, to those of you who put the forks in the spoon tray.
What I mean is Intel hasn't made a new CPU architecture in four years, so they've had
lots of time to tune it.
Yeah.
Bambi says Linus is thick.
That is going to be, like, my ongoing...
Every time I mention forks and spoons, like...
Oh, okay, yeah.
The people who watch this WAN show are going to know what's up.
Yeah.
Emily says, I'm the family IT girl.
I have people I don't know coming to me to fix their stuff.
Yeah, I'm the family IT girl. I have people I don't know coming to me to fix their stuff. Yeah, I hear it.
Mikkel says, line issue drink is technology.
Heck yeah, it is.
Hey, it's got a vacuum thing, blah, blah, blah,
lttstore.com.
You set the alarm.
That alarm I set.
Yeah, okay.
It worked.
Harold asks if there's a prepay plan for a year of float plane.
Not yet.
We're working on it.
Yeah.
And Mikel says...
It is in the pipe.
Just got the shirt.
Nice.
All right.
Oh, Thomas says, want to buy float plane forums again.
Are we fixing that?
Sometime.
Yeah. Are we fixing that? Sometime.
Yeah.
So I have actually posted that like we're aware, like we know, but just getting the
site ready for other creators right now is a higher priority because we've been losing
money for two and a half years.
Yeah.
So.
It's true.
We don't want to be like, motivated by money, man.
You know, like the corporations, man.
But being negative is also like bad stuff because you have to need to get that sorted pay people
Yeah, and things
So in don't worry. It's fine. There's still money. Thanks, man, but also just like shit
We should I'm like trying to hire more people get out of the red soon so we can do cool stuff
Anyways, the new transcoding system is in prod. There's been some problems with it,
but there's problems with everything,
especially when it's something
that's been worked on for so long.
And it's actually doing quite well,
and we're patching it as it goes,
and we're actually very happy with the new transcoding system
and uploading system in general.
So that's great, that was one of the big blocks
that there was for bringing on new creators.
Few things we wanna get into place,
and some of the priorities that we have right now,
is finishing the app, which is very close to completion.
Like, we've moved on to Apple testing
and are finishing off notifications.
Really?
And we're kind of like done.
Cool.
There's more stuff that's gonna be pretty high priority
once it's released, but it'll be pushed into a
this is a much better experience
than the mobile app kind of state uh
the number one priority probably after it's released will be casting support but there was
technically ways that you can force it yourself anyways um uh yearly support a few other cool
payments updates uh and 4k will all be things that are going to be coming relatively soon. Oh, we're ready to announce 4K. Okay, we just announced 4K.
4K float plane will be able to do 4K.
That's where potentially having different tiers
will be a thing for creators.
Yeah, it'll probably be at a different pricing tier,
to be honest with you guys.
The reality of it is that hosting video online
is incredibly expensive.
There's a reason that you can count on one hand probably
the profitable video platforms on the internet like there's really not many there's there's
a lot more popping up more recently especially with the disney thing and are they profitable
maybe not right yeah i mean the thing with Disney is you could they could be
just a market share play they could make the argument like it's profitable
because like Star Wars is profitable and we use some of that profits to make this
online streaming thing but that division is it profitable yeah I have no idea but
anyways we're gonna go this profitable I actually don't know if they are.
The last time I looked into it, they were losing, but who knows?
And that could be fun accounting anyways.
Yes.
So Netflix is profitable.
Cool.
Good.
But I would wonder if Amazon Prime Video is profitable.
It seems kind of hard for it to be,
given that it's just included with your Prime membership.
You know, they sent me physical mail telling me to watch it.
Because I, like, have a Prime account, but I've never watched Prime Video.
So they sent me a physical piece of mail being like,
hey, there's cool shows, you should watch it.
Really?
It's like, that's really weird, guys you a DVD catalog yeah it's pretty awkward but
anyways Columbia house remember Columbia anyway I think we're done for the land
show for today boink pentathlon 2019 i would recommend
you guys google linus tech tips boink pentathlon 2019 it will bring you to the thread online to
linus tech tips forum uh there's a quick start guide there's how to install it all this other
kind of stuff you're i don't know what their goal specifically is for this one i'm sorry but
boink is generally used to help scientific advancement,
sometimes in terms of medical research,
sometimes in terms of other stuff.
So go check it out, you can use your computers
for a good or productive cause.
