Starting point is 00:00:00 With Uber Reserve, you can book your Uber ride in advance. 90 days in advance. Perfect for all you forward thinkers and planning gurus. Reserve your Uber ride up to 90 days in advance. Uber Reserve. See Uber app for details. Ladies and gentlemen, and we're live! Welcome! Welcome to the WAN Show. Oh man, I have been streaming a lot today but that's okay
Starting point is 00:00:28 because i'm having fun i might even stream some more later oh boy this is great timing yes my son what can i do for you you want to sit here no absolutely no way not only are you not only are you gigantic and heavy now but it is freaking hot in my house. So I still have all my insulation pulled out because I am wiring up a whole bunch of security stuff. I'm putting in new wireless. I'm going to be putting in air conditioning, but that's the problem, right? See, the air conditioning is not in yet. So I have no insulation, which means that on a hot day, the sun on my roof is just radiating heat into my house. And the air
Starting point is 00:01:11 conditioning that is supposed to deal with problems like having too much heat in your house is not in there. So now, did I actually tell you the story yet about what happened with the air conditioning? No. Okay, well, we can talk more about it later but basically i ordered the wrong thing twice oh oh yeah oh yeah classic classic big oof moment there yeah big f on my face let's go ahead and talk about what we're going to be talking about today so this is a rumor slash leak there's enough rumors circulating that it kind of seems like this might be credible at this point, but basically, it looks like there might be new XT models of the third gen Ryzen CPUs coming out, which would be pretty exciting for people who like faster processors for the same amount of money.
Starting point is 00:01:57 What else we got here? PewDiePie has informed me that I need to begin lifting to complete my transformation to Chad Linus. Duly noted, Felix. Duly noted.ly noted yeah no that makes sense with the beard what else we got okay uh i don't know um texas instruments is banning some program on ti84 calculators because of tests or something okay no this is actually kind of a big pain in the butt i bet that was added to the doc by alex because he's probably super mad basically it means you can't run assembly code on them anymore yeah i i just we'll get more i i strongly disagree with why they did this but we'll get more into that later um and spacex launch was delayed we're a little we're a little
Starting point is 00:02:43 no it's gonna be a great show. I'm not even going to go where I was going. Because usually when we're late on news, we go into other stuff anyways, and the show ends up being better. So it's going to be a fantastic show. It's going to be a fantastic show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:55 All right, let's roll that intro. Oh. Oh wait, I gotta go grab something. Okay. Sorry about that, i'm back i barely recognize myself on the wanshow without my big old headphones now okay i gotta tell you an embarrassing story luke okay are you ready okay so uh i just mentioned that my insulation is all cleared out of my attic because I'm doing a bunch of wiring up there, right? Yeah. So one of the things that I'm doing is Ethernet wiring for wireless access points, security cameras, all that kind of stuff. I don't have a ton of experience making my own Ethernet cables because in most cases, it really does just make more sense to just buy them.
Starting point is 00:04:03 really does just make more sense to just buy them. As long as you know what length you're going to need, having an extra, you know, six feet and coiling it up or whatever is not only cheaper, but it can also be more reliable because then you're not counting on your own, you know, homemade crimped connections. You're counting on a factory that presumably does this for a living to do everything properly. Um, anyway, over the last little bit, I've been doing enough of it that I've like kind of gotten the hang of it though. Until last night, I set a goal for myself to do one security camera install per night so that there's just kind of like a limit to how much crawling around in my attic that I have to do on a on a daily basis, but also so that the project will get done at some
Starting point is 00:04:38 point. And last night, I got home after a really frustrating day at work, really infuriating. I was just trying, all I wanted was I wanted a CPU to output enough heat that I could evaluate thermal compound, like a bunch of different thermal compounds. So I just wanted to consistently output like a decent amount of heat. And you don't want it to be just a little bit because then it becomes hard to tell if it's just uh um you know if there's like a two degree difference it's hard to tell if that's just a two degree difference in you know test runs or if that's a two degree difference in thermal interface performance so if you can be at 80 degrees instead of 40 degrees that two degree difference at 40 degrees might be four degrees at 80 degrees.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And you're a lot more confident that one solution is truly better than the other. That's all I wanted. I want a CPU to get hot. And I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Couldn't make a CPU hot. No matter how I tried. I just there were some some idiosyncrasies of the AMD FX 8150 that I didn't remember. In my defense, that was like 10 years ago. And I couldn't get it to heat up without throttling. And anyway, I had a really frustrating day. Got home and I was like, okay, I'm just going to put up I need to feel like I accomplished something today.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So I put up a security camera and I was running the Ethernet cable for it. One. Okay. Okay. Two. Three. One. one okay okay two three hold on gotta start holding these differently okay four five six what seven eight what Eight. What? Why?
Starting point is 00:06:27 I don't even know if this is all of them. I had to re-crimp the connectors on this run. And it's like the stupidest thing ever because it's like a, I don't know, 15 foot run. It's the camera right here. And my server room is on the other side of this wall. It's such a short run. I had to redo it eight times. And I'm like standing up on my desk and it's like hard because I don't have a ton of slack and I have less and less slack every time. And it was one of those things where I was just so angry and so
Starting point is 00:06:56 exhausted. And what I did was I had already done it like four times or so and Yvonne steps and she's like, do you want me to try one? And I'm like, you've never even like done this before. I don't honestly think that's going to help. She comes in and she's like, well, I can follow instructions. I'm like, that's true. You are very good at following instructions. Like she is so meticulous. Whereas like, I'll kind of like gloss over something like, yeah, yeah. I said, I mostly know what's going on here. And then I'll, you know, I'll get eight more steps in and oh crap, I have to undo everything now. Cause I missed something. She never on here. And then I'll, you know, I'll get eight more steps in. Oh, crap. I have to undo everything now because I missed something. She never does that.
Starting point is 00:07:26 She's like the queen of following instructions. So she follows the instructions. She has trouble with some of it because her fingers just aren't like aren't that strong. So like straightening the wires and like, like bending the like bending these things over. Because you need to lift and Yvonne needs to do uh yeah finger strengthening exercises it is kind of hard like it is kind of hard to get them perfectly straight especially when you consider that she didn't have a lot of extra to work with so she couldn't just like take off an inch and a half and use that to have better leverage right
Starting point is 00:07:58 like no no there's a reason for it anyway so she she it. She goes through. And finally, she did it all properly. And I was like, they're supervising, watching. And it still didn't work. And I was like, okay, well, I'm back to putting on more connectors. So I went back to the other side. I did it again. So now I had Yvonne's side on this side and my side there, and it still wasn't working. And so she's like Googling. She's like, you know, should you crimp it fast? Should crimp it slow should you you know do you use the load bar you know those load bar things that you're supposed to put the wires in she's like do you do it the other way and we did find an illustration where someone was putting it in the other way and i was like that's stupid that makes no sense you should obviously put it in this way because this way helps you
Starting point is 00:08:38 sort them in this way is just dumb and we found you know more she found more resources that confirmed that yes in fact that is the right way to do it she's like doing all this research and finally she's like she's just so methodical this is why we're so good together because when it comes to like sort of just raw dragon energy like i'm i i i am like a more wild like creative thinker but But when it comes to, you know, focusing that dragon energy, you know, I need her, you know, I really do. She comes along, she picks up all the ends that I've done. She's like, are you sure you're doing them right? I'm like, yes, I'm sure I'm doing it right. There's a diagram right on my crimping tool. There's no way that I could be doing them wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:31 eight, five of them are backwards. So there it is. That one, it's kind of hard to see, but it's brown on this side instead of orange on this side. So what was happening was I was consistently, because of the angle the cable was coming in at and because my brain was addled i was consistently wiring up one side correctly and the other side incorrectly oh i was so painful mad and meanwhile i'm trying to figure out okay am i am i not getting the loading bars in deep enough are they not actually getting the cables uh you know right up where the crimping thing comes down am i um yeah am i crimping like too fast or too slow or like like i'm i'm trying to find i'm trying to do a rain dance right when the answer is you just gotta you know get some sleep and wait for the weather to change wow that's pretty great yeah so i immediately she solved it then though well she solved it
Starting point is 00:10:28 she solved me being an idiot right like she was like hey you're an idiot and i was like cool but like she she figured out like look these previous ones were wrong yeah i know i know you said you had five that were wrong but i didn't know yeah yeah oh yeah no immediately after so the really frustrating thing was like i didn't think to check the order of the wires because it was like kind of working. So I was getting power. I could see in my ubiquity like a controller dashboard that I was getting power to the device, but I wasn't getting any data. And I was like, come on, why am I getting power? No data. How could it be? I even asked this out loud before she gave me the answer. I said, how could it be that I am so consistently
Starting point is 00:11:10 getting the power wires connected and not the data ones? So you like kind of knew. Yeah, well, I just couldn't. I just couldn't. All right, why don't we jump into our first tech topic of the day uh wccf tech sources confirm what there's cpu news three new ryzen matisse refresh cpus dubbed xt models so uh ash river posted this on the forum and they claim that sources have confirmed amd is prepping three new Ryzen 3000 desktop chips
Starting point is 00:11:47 as part of a Matisse refresh. And I got to say, on paper, this looks credible simply because it just like kind of makes sense. All these SKUs make sense. The 3950X, I can see why they wouldn't refresh that. That's a relatively low volume part and it's already like 16 cores. It's kind of like binned balls to the wall, right? Whereas the 3900X,
Starting point is 00:12:13 yeah, maybe there was a little bit of room to play in there. 3800X, maybe a little bit of room to play. 3600X, same thing. So these are, excuse me, six, eight, and 12 core models that look like they should be getting small bumps to both their, no, not both anything, small bumps to their clock speeds. Well, it's a base and boost. And what's cool about this is that if the pricing comes in at just a little bit higher than the existing 3600X,
Starting point is 00:12:48 3800X, or 3900X, or if it comes in the same. Actually, that's what I'm predicting. I'm predicting they're going to come in exactly the same. My love, I can't help you with your Lego thing right now. I'm sorry. You'll have to grasp on me. It makes a ton of sense because if these come in at the same pricing, all of a sudden these X SKUs that AMD has kind of struggled to demonstrate the value of because they allow overclocking on the vanilla ones as well as the X ones, all of a sudden their performance will be significantly enough different at stock speeds that if the Xs just went away, the vanillas could stay, the XTs could stay, and there'd be this substantial performance difference between them that hasn't really existed up until now.
Starting point is 00:13:27 And it would also mean that on all the benchmark charts, when people go and review these CPUs, compared to Intel's 10th gen, AMD would look much more favorable for the next few months while they're preparing the fourth generation Verizon processors. Okay, sweetheart, you can't be hanging around in the back of the camera. Off you go. All right, so they're rumored to say... So in terms of the speed increases,
Starting point is 00:13:55 we're not talking about anything extreme. So the 3600X is 3.8 gigahertz base, 4.4 boost. We're looking at 4 gigahertz base 4.7 boost that's pretty decent it's nothing to sneeze at either that's five percent at base and a little bit about seven and a half whatever that works out to boost that that's like that's that's quite the chunk like your your boost clock is is going to on the 3600 xt is going to, on the 3600 XT, is going to higher than the 3900X. Yes, exactly. It's an interesting way to look at it. That's pretty sick.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And so we're looking at kind of similar boosts. So around anywhere from 200 to 300 megahertz boost across the board here on the base clocks. And anywhere from, yeah, 200 to 300 megahertz on boost clocks as well and what's really cool about the position that amd is in right now and like what a privileged position it is they've worked hard for it to be clear i don't mean that kind of privilege i mean the just the you know bask in it guys is that they don't have to shoot first and then hope their competitor doesn't have an answer yeah yeah amd was able to sit with their existing lineup with the vanillas and x's and wait for intel to make a move
Starting point is 00:15:12 intel made a move they launched 10th gen with solid performance some surprises in terms of performance i was expecting them to run hotter than they did but they actually shaved the die i don't know if you watched our review of it, Luke. They actually shaved the dye down to get better thermal transfer between the dye and the integrated heat spreader. Anyway, Intel managed to launch with better performance and better thermals than I was expecting, but the power consumption is huge. So what that means is that assuming that AMD has done any refinement on their 7 nanometer process over the last six months or however long it's been since Ryzen 3rd Gen launched, they're in a position to, you know, make a tweak if they need to. But they didn't
Starting point is 00:15:52 need to move first. So now they know what they're up against. So they can go, okay, knowing what we're up against, if we need to increase the power envelope of these chips a little bit, we can do that. if we don't need to do that well then we'll go a little bit less aggressive so they can sit tune this stuff release it um they can dictate the pricing really because intel's pricing is already out there um i think this seems pretty likely if this rumor had come out and said that there was going to be like a top to bottom refresh i just said no that makes absolutely no sense i i don't see it happening but this looks very credible yeah absolutely and exciting i like these kind of these clapbacks um it it it feels kind of i don't know i like them right now because
Starting point is 00:16:42 like you said the bask in your glory kind of situation where they're finally in the lead. So I'm happy that they're doing this. I also don't like them when this happens from the team that's been in the lead for an extremely long time. So I don't know. But right now, I'm happy this is happening. So you're just an underdog kind of guy, are you, Luke? Are you an underdog guy? an underdog kind of guy are you luke are you an underdog with those types of moves yes because when it happens from a company that has been in the lead for a super long time yeah they're just kind of suppressing competition at that point where when it happens from a team that's been in the lead for a relatively short amount of time they are kind of finally reaping the rewards for their gains.
Starting point is 00:17:26 You know what I mean? It feels different. I see what you mean. So you mean kind of like the relaxing and waiting for the other guy to make a move? That I don't like. Right. Okay. Okay. Okay. But I mean, okay, in fairness to AMD,
Starting point is 00:17:40 it's not like they've relaxed for a long time here. No. We're talking a span of months not years yeah and that's why this that's a big part of why this feels kind of fine right um yeah so i've got a comment that might upset you a little bit here from uh horlocks over on twitch luke i am your father come back to retail wow and learn to pvp we can make a man out of you yet come back to RetailWow and learn to PVP. We can make a man out of you yet.
Starting point is 00:18:08 First of all, quote incorrect. The rest I don't really care about. That's true. So many people quote it that way. It doesn't say, Luke, I am your father. It's no. No. I am your father.
Starting point is 00:18:22 All right. By the way, another Twitch chat thing. They want a Lego stream. They want a Lego stream. Oh, do they know my kids? Do they know my kids? Oh, right. Because one of them was over here asking for help with Lego. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I mean, the stuff they build. Actually, you know what? Sure. Why don't we? Hey, guys. Can you bring over a couple of the things you built? I got you. Are you disappointed by their creation?
Starting point is 00:18:46 No, no. Their creations are great. They're just... Okay, Lego Movie 2. You know the weird stuff that gets built? Yeah. Okay, thanks, darling. I kind of thought you might bring over something a little bit more impressive than this.
Starting point is 00:19:04 They have bigger stuff. So this is a thing. What is this exactly? A drone. This is a drone. Oh, okay. That's... Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Wait. Why do you know what a drone looks like? Yeah. How futuristic of them. One of us has one of those. Okay, so they've each got a drone. What kind of game are you guys playing? You need drones. Lego? No, no of game are you guys playing you need drones
Starting point is 00:19:25 no no i know you're playing lego but like why you need what do you need drones for to help with what our buildings are too big the buildings are too big so oh are they building drones yeah this is gonna be my giant spider okay this is gonna be a giant spider cool this is this is a dolphin um driving a car with plants growing out of the back of it so that's good this is the eco warrior mobile um and this what is this car well i see it's a car but what's special about it he doesn't know okay all right thanks guys the Thanks, guys. It's a rumbler tumbler. My buildings are too big to bring. The buildings are too big to bring.
Starting point is 00:20:08 All right. Thank you. Sure. Why not? You want more, like, streamlined thing. I don't know. I just... You know, for me, if, like, you got this, like, mishmash of different colors, I kind of get uneasy, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:26 Oh, sorry. I knocked a piece off there. I'm sorry. There a piece off there i'm sorry there you go there's your taillights you got your taillights so the taillights color match at least so that's good oh yeah at least it's not illegal all right youtube is deleting comments with a couple of phrases that insult china's communist party now this hopefully seems like it was sort of um not as big of a deal as it initially seemed to be but let's walk through the the timeline here so this was posted by ash river over on the forum and curiously the earliest source we were able to find maybe you guys can correct us if we're wrong here i'm sure there's one before it maybe Maybe there's one before it. But Palmer Lucky was one of the earliest persons, people talking about this in a tweet from May 25th that has 30,000 likes just about. YouTube has deleted every comment I ever made about the Wu Mao, excuse me, the Wu Mao, an internet propaganda division of the Chinese Communist Party. excuse me, the Wu Mao, an internet propaganda division of the Chinese Communist Party.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Who at Google decided to censor American comments on American videos hosted in America by an American platform that is already banned in China anyway? This appears to be a new global policy at YouTube, not directed at me specifically. Try saying anything negative and then he posts the Chinese characters or even mentioning it at all. Your comment will last about 30 seconds and get deleted without warning or notice interesting pretty crazy so yeah okay i found i found at least one one source from before it but most sources are from are from after it um so yeah do you want to run us through this one what what went down here it i don I don't, I don't necessarily know. There's been an update from YouTube. Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Um, that they, they said that it is confirmed. They, they confirmed that it is happening and they are working on a fix. It seems like why it's happening. Wouldn't be hard to fix, right?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Like you, you run a video platform. How hard do you think it would be to fix the amount of stuff that's ran by ai on okay that's fair youtube is pretty extensive so i don't i can't claim to know like how this came to be um i think it's really interesting i don't i don't know enough about this at all i don't think youtube has directly sorry one sec i don't know enough about this at all. I don't think YouTube has directly, sorry, one sec. I don't think YouTube has directly addressed how it came to be at all. Maybe they did. If I missed that, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:52 But this could be a really interesting story as we see it develop because there's updates as of fairly recently if an outside source was able to train an AI. Okay, so there's a couple of things here. So first of all let's talk through why this phrase uh might be banned in the first place it translate to translates to communist bandit or 50 cent party not that 50 cent like um and what's weird is that the romanized opinion and english language translations are not affected so a communist bandit was a term used by nationalist forces during the chinese civil war and wu mao or 50
Starting point is 00:23:31 cent parties a derogatory slang for internet users who are paid to direct online discussion away from criticizing the chinese communist party so basically uh shills and they're called so because they're paid 50 chinese cents per post um curiously you know what was happening was even if the phrases were used positively they were being scrubbed suggesting that youtube spam and offensive text filters may have had the phrases added to them although by whom and whether accidentally or for what purpose is not currently known um youtube is as was pointed out in in palmer's tweets completely blocked in china so the censorship is just a little bit confusing uh youtube has confirmed in an update that this is an error in their enforcement systems and they're working to fix it as quickly as possible
Starting point is 00:24:17 but they're as far as we know have been no further details given as to what the error is or how it crept in in the first place that's that specifically is the part i am so interested in so jay js wiseton in the youtube chat says well why does youtube have that infrastructure in place anyway why is youtube helping a horrible communist nation censor its citizens well that's probably not what they're doing and they have comment moderation tools in place because users like you and youtubers like me want them i do want a degree of moderation in my youtube comments and you could say well oh you're anti-free speech but that's not actually what free speech is yeah it's part of you know my right it's part of my rights to dictate on my video what is or is not permitted.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And I'm allowed to have things like banned words because that's not what free speech is. Free speech is the right to speak freely and criticize the government, not the right to say whatever you want on somebody else's YouTube video. It's not the same thing. And so they have tools for moderation. Just the question is, how exactly would this phrase have ended up there? And, you know, seeing some of the things that are being done with AI now. Luke, you see that project where NVIDIA recreated Pac-Man? Oh, yeah, we talked about it on WAN Show, right?
Starting point is 00:25:38 Did we? NVIDIA recreated Pac-Man? No, I don't think we did. Oh so nvidia had an ai just watch i think it was like 50 000 hours of pac-man being played and then it recreated the game just by learning the rules from watching someone play which is pretty amazing and so that's actually pretty nuts if you had a chat ai for example or if google had an ai that crawled other platforms, because, you know, especially moderating, I think it's fair to say that most Google headquarters employees, English would be their first language. And so moderating other languages would be a real challenge. And that's something that you have to find a solution for. So it's not entirely outlandish to say that it's possible that one of Google's solutions might be to create an AI
Starting point is 00:26:26 that monitors chats and comments on websites where people speak these languages natively and look for phrases or words that seem to cause consternation among the community. That's not entirely unrealistic. I'm not saying that's how they're doing it. I don't know how they're doing it. But that would be a way for that to realistically end up in an offensive words filter. Does that seem reasonably credible, Luke? Yeah. It would probably mostly use their own platforms. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:02 It does definitely seem credible. But they could use other platforms and they could and they could have actually ended up with that in their offensive words filter even on their own platform because the thing about uh you know the thing about the chinese communist party is even within china a lot of people think that oh you know chinese people are somehow uh you know equated like the views of the Chinese Communist Party somehow align perfectly with the people in China. There's over a billion people in China. Not all of them agree with what the Chinese Communist Party does. So there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:27:35 dissent that gets created in China over things like the Hong Kong protests or over things like these 50 cent party shills that are trying to, you know, steer online discourse in ways that are more favorable to the CCP. So it's not entirely unrealistic to think that in Chinese language comments on YouTube videos, and you know, let's be realistic, there's lots of people in China watching YouTube. Lots. They don't show up in my demographic information in my analytics dashboard because they're all on VPNs, but they're watching.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I can tell because I get emails and forum private messages and stuff. Hey, I got one today. Someone was like, hey, I was browsing Taobao as I'm apt to do because I'm Chinese and live in China. And I saw your face on there. Just thought you'd like to know.
Starting point is 00:28:27 These guys are using this picture of you to like sell this product. It happens all the time. So we have to go and like either, you know, try and get it taken down or whatever. I remember we went through a really funny thing with GPD. Do you know those guys? I think so. They make like handheld gaming PCs, like X86 gaming PCscs anyway super nice guys from my dealings with them but they we went through a bit of a thing with them where they uh used a ton of imagery of me on their product page in a way that made it seem like i was somehow associated
Starting point is 00:28:58 with the product or had and they had like a bunch of quotes almost like i they're taking out of context almost like i was like i helped develop it or something i was like hey you guys need to not do that that's actually not okay and you can't um you need to just take your own product photos and stuff without my face in them and they were fine they were chill about it we actually have a review coming for their new product the gpd win max very soon the thing is freaking cool it's really cool uh it's got thunderbolt it's like this big uh it's got a quad core eight thread cpu in it that turbos over three gigahertz and moderate loads like it's unbelievable anyway um we run into that a lot so i'm just saying that i'm not letting youtube off the hook but i'm also not necessarily gonna go full tinfoil hat. They're, you know, clearly suppressing,
Starting point is 00:29:45 you know, Chinese dissent here. Yeah. To me, to me, it seems like either just an overambitious auto moderator or potentially a little bit of outside steering of an overambitious auto moderator. But I kind of doubt it was it was manually done. auto moderator but i i kind of doubt it was it was manually done uh pretty guan sim tan says enough politics please i mean i honestly wish that when we had to discuss you know the internet uh or net neutrality or uh moderation of comments on internet platforms, I wish that wasn't a political topic. I wish that the right and left and center and every possible political affiliation had the common sense to reach a common understanding about these things. It's not tech people that politicized this stuff. It's political people that politicized very obvious tech solutions to tech problems in many cases.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And that leads us perfectly, actually, into our next topic. So the president of the United States signed an executive order targeting some of the protections that exist for social media companies and really any website that relies on user-generated content. And this is something that affects me and Luke directly through the Linus Tech Tips forum and through Floatplane. So basically, it seems to be in response to a recent moderation action on the president's Twitter feed where fact-check warnings were applied to some tweets about mail-in voting and then there was actually another one today where um a tweet that
Starting point is 00:31:34 seemed to suggest that riots would be met with lethal force um was hidden as one that contains inappropriate content for the platform that would normally be taken down, but was left up because it was in the account of a political figure. So Twitter does have a special carve-out for political figures where they will leave things that would be taken down for anyone else because they are considered to be important information uh even if they are against um twitter's policies so this uh this comes after years of complaining that social media was targeting uh conservative voices um the new executive order is hoping to address this. Let's talk a little bit about what this might mean. So basically what they're going after is the protections that exist for online platforms to not be responsible for the information that is posted on their platform.
Starting point is 00:32:40 So the argument being made here is that, okay, Twitter, if you're going to editorialize, then you should be a publisher rather than a platform. It is a fascinating debate and one that is honestly best left to the legal scholars. of platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Floatplane, Facebook, etc. If you make these platforms responsible for everything that's posted on them, which is effectively what would happen if they were switched to being publishers. So basically what's being done is a line in the sand is being drawn. Either you guys can edit nothing and we can just leave misinformation about, you know, miracle COVID cures. We can just leave misinformation about, you know, miracle COVID cures. We can just leave everything there. Or you can try to, you know, in some cases, you know what, I'm not even going to weigh in on this case.
Starting point is 00:33:36 In some cases, protect your users from that kind of dangerous misinformation. And you can end up responsible for everything that's posted on your platform. information and you can end up responsible for everything that's posted on your platform so what will happen is small upstarts something like a float plane that doesn't have the resources to police every post that is posted like imagine if i told you tomorrow luke you guys have to build a well effectively a comment moderation ai that's going to make sure that um you know nothing that we could be held legally liable for is posted on the platform. You'd basically tell me to go take a long walk off a short pier, I think.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Shut her down. There's stuff that isn't that hard. Word filtering is not that hard. And what we could potentially do in that scenario is just word filter to the end of the earth and just like word filter everything basically so that you you could basically only say like good video thumbs up and that's like all that's allowed on the platform yep um but but like to to properly
Starting point is 00:34:42 filter all this stuff like you you can see the amount of work that Google and Facebook put into it. It's wildly difficult. And it's more than just misinformation. There's things like hate speech that could contain lots of words that are fine, but a message that's not okay. And that's extremely difficult to detect. And they often work on that kind of stuff. I wouldn't want to touch it with a 10-foot pole, but a bunch of people on Twitch are posting,
Starting point is 00:35:11 good video, thumbs up. Thanks. But yeah, I don't want to do that. Luckily, Floatplane is a pay access platform, so the comment sections are often fantastic. Yeah, it makes our lives a lot easier. We like automatically don't have this type of issue, which is great.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Thumbs up. But yeah. Sprite XP brings up another great point because this is another potential outcome here is they say, well, how would this executive order help? Wouldn't Twitter just ban Trump completely then? Well, yeah. Well, that's exactly what you'd have to do.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Any user who has the potential to cause problem for you, you would have to completely get Trump completely then. Well, yeah. Well, that's exactly what you'd have to do. Any user who has the potential to cause problem for you, you would have to completely get rid of them. Like that would, if there were to actually be some kind of law drawn up around this, you would have to include some kind of provision where you have enough time to react to something that is reported and get rid of the user.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Luke is gone. It would be great if we had Luke back sometime soon. He just disappeared while we were in the middle there. You know, good stream, Luke. Thumbs up. Thanks. Maybe what I'll do is just... Oh, hey, he's back, but we don't have video yet.
Starting point is 00:36:18 So I'm going to... Just hold on a second, Luke. I'm going to go through a couple more little things here. It's funny that you mentioned the effort that Facebook's putting into this stuff because Twitter came out and said that the company will, and this is a second, Luke. I'm going to go through a couple more little things here. It's funny that you mentioned the effort that Facebook's putting into this stuff because Twitter came out and said that the company will, and this is a quote, continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally and that this does not make Twitter an arbiter of truth, as they've been accused of being, going on to say that the intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show that information in the dispute or show the information that's in dispute so people can judge for
Starting point is 00:36:48 themselves. I think that's a pretty fair approach to it. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook's approach is different than Twitter's. He stated, I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online, which is basically, as far as I can tell, Facebook's way of saying we would really like to take political advertising money from everyone. We are an equal opportunity sucker of money from all entities, and we just don't ultimately give a crap. So thanks for that, Facebook. Love it. No surprise. Let me go through our sponsors while luke tries to fix his video feed or do you have any idea what's going on i think i'm good it should be fixed okay uh well i had a i had a
Starting point is 00:37:33 powerful situation in my house and my ups saved me from everything going down but certain devices aren't plugged into it so enough stuff went down that it was bad all right wow that's pretty cool what just happened there kids make sure you have a ups yeah i'm just gonna go through our sponsors real quick anyway so let's go ahead and talk to you guys but oh where's my backpack uh-oh um uh uh this is awkward i can try to get a screen cap. I'm back. I'm going to do a different one first.
Starting point is 00:38:10 The show is brought to you. Oh, I wish I had some jerky to eat. Dang it. Savage jerky is made with quality ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal of creating a snack that is full of flavor and spice, but that isn't bad for you. They've got 13 different flavors of jerky. My mouth is salivating and I have nothing to eat, such as their sriracha bacon and my personal favorite, their maple buffalo bacon, which is not particularly spicy, but it is absolutely delicious.
Starting point is 00:38:36 They also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and a spice rub. Now, my mom is a notorious spice fiend and she was over, it must have been last weekend and i showed her their reaper hot sauce and she basically took a little thing of it and went wow that's the kind of thing you add a couple drops to a pot of soup holy shnikes it's real good it's real good it's intense um so chad is now going good sponsor spot thumbs up good jerky thumbs up uh use offer code ltt to save 10 over at savage jerky.com the show is also brought to you today by private internet access pia it doesn't do anything that a vpn can't do we're not going to misrepresent what it does
Starting point is 00:39:19 what it does is it encrypts your connection and allows you to mask your ip by using one of their ip addresses doesn't make your connection faster sure doesn't do that if anything it makes it slower but what it is is a valuable tool in your online security tool kit yeah that's another thing it doesn't do it doesn't like immediately make everything you do online completely untraceable it's just part of the equation and what's cool about PIA is it now features WireGuard. They've got no bandwidth caps. They've got configurable encryption and an internet kill switch to keep you in control of your connection. And you can try it risk-free with their 30-day money-back guarantee.

Starting point is 00:40:02 WAN. Go sign up. What are you guys waiting for? You're waiting for this message from Anchor. The Anchor PowerWave 2 pad is a wireless charger that's Qi certified and automagically changes its output up to 15 watts to suit your device's needs. I need a knife. It's not actually open right now. One moment, please. Anchor, you use very strong stickers to seal your boxes which is good when i'm trying you know when the sticker is trying to keep your box sealed but it's bad when i'm trying to use my
Starting point is 00:40:34 kid's drone to uh to open the box one moment please ah yes maybe one of these dead ethernet connectors maybe it will serve a new purpose, its new life. Dang it. Come on! I can't open this. I can't open this box. Anyways, Qi certified. It's compatible with most current smartphones.
Starting point is 00:40:58 It's got an anti-slip ring and can charge smartphones with cases up to five millimeters thick. That's half a centimeter. Their multi-protect safety system controls temperatures while charging. Please open. And you can check it out at Amazon at the link in the video description. I swear to you, I'm going to show it to you at some point. I've got this. Oh, man, where is it?
Starting point is 00:41:19 Is it in here? I think it's in here. This is a lot of packaging. Okay, well, I've got a negative review of the packaging. I tried to pull on the tab and it just came apart. It just came apart, you guys. The tab just came off. The tab, it does nothing. Oh, maybe this way.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Here we go. I got this. This is live unboxing. Live unboxing, ladies and gentlemen. Thank goodness. There it this. It's live unboxing. Live unboxing, ladies and gentlemen. Thank goodness. There it is. It's a Qi charger. All right. Pretty standard stuff. Thank you. So it's good stuff. Just bad packaging. Okay. There. Back to the show. Fantastic. Fantastic. Oh, so lifting. I think it's time. PewDiePpie called me out today and he's like basically you know nice beard chad linus but uh you need to start lifting i don't know if you guys i don't know if you guys are aware of this but pewdiepie over the last uh i don't know i guess probably it looks like it clearly didn't happen overnight
Starting point is 00:42:25 um so it must have been while he was while he was away uh hold on a second let me just create a new source here chrome there we go look at that what got absolutely like what is what is beyond cut beyond shredded like sliced you know he got sliced i guess slice has kind of like a plastic surgery connotation to it uh minor issue minor issue why can i not find this yeah no he's he's ripped i think he needs to you know maybe bench press a little bit more to even it out but he's freaking wow all right wow that's how you're gonna be i think i think there's a there's a very clear transition here is he deleted twitter and just got ripped so you're saying i should delete twitter yeah you know what i don't even i don't even mind it uh anyway so so in his meme review video today a meme of me came up and he like completely derailed the whole thing and was like, hey, have you guys noticed?
Starting point is 00:43:27 Like mine's like Chad Lyons now. He's got a beard and all he needs to do is start lifting. OK, so I will have you guys know that I might not be quite that cut, but I'm not as bad as he might think. instead of instead of instead of the the like tech and nerdy and gaming youtubers boxing you guys could just have like a lifting competition i wouldn't win that i wouldn't win that i've been i've been pretty lazy over the last couple of months it looks right now like he would definitely he would he would definitely i think i think i'd get i think i'd get beat up pretty bad right now but uh you know what i had my first badminton session since quarantine on Monday. I am excited.
Starting point is 00:44:11 My butt, I could barely walk for two days. But I'm going back to the gym tomorrow. Going back to the gym tomorrow. I'm going to be playing twice a week. The family has gotten kind of into bike rides lately, so that's going to be my leg day, is getting out and cycling for a bit. It is, oh man, it is tough bike riding, man.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And yes, I'm riding with my eight-year-old son, but in my defense, I have a trailer, okay, with two girls in it, my daughters, I have a trailer, okay, with two girls in it. My daughters. Not like that. So I've got, what is it, about a, what do you girls weigh? No, forget it. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I think between the two of them, they're about 80 pounds, though. So I've got this steel trailer and 80 pounds worth of water, effectively, plus everyone's water bottles and stuff behind me. It is unbelievable going up a hill with that behind me. Yeah. Ugh. A couple things. One, might get in a little bit of trouble for the PewDiePie picture, apparently.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Forgot there's, like, rules on Twitch and stuff. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I guess technically those are... His shirt's off. Oh, whatever. Yeah. I don't... His shirt's off. Oh, whatever. Yeah. I don't even care.
Starting point is 00:45:27 What's Twitch going to do? Ban me? Like, why would I even care? You could just get more rips. Yeah. They could ban me for six, as much as six days, and I wouldn't even notice. Pewd streams on YouTube now. He doesn't stream on Twitch.
Starting point is 00:45:41 He doesn't stream on whatever that other platform he used to stream on was. Maybe that's part of the reason why he's ripped yeah i don't know maybe maybe you need to not stream on not stream on twitch i think you're getting your correlation and your causation confused maybe maybe maybe i i've moved on to expert plus on beat saver really yeah i'm still i don't i'm not like destroying expert song, but I want things to go faster. All right. All right. And I'm eating most expert songs right away now.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Okay. I don't, I don't have like the, and I have two, two excuses for some of my scores on expert songs. One of them is that I'm still having some amount of controller sync issues. I've figured out there's a mirror on the wall back here that you guys can't see.
Starting point is 00:46:26 It's over there. And we started covering the mirror with like a towel and that has made things a little bit better. Also, I have big sliding glass doors over there and we have started pulling the blinds there. Both of those things combined have massively helped, but faster songs make my computers lag oh you know what is funny is i made a comment a little while ago um while i was filming a video and one of the one of the people uh at work i
Starting point is 00:46:57 forget who it was but they mocked me because i said that i'm i'm extremely sensitive to controller tracking and latency problems because when you're playing Beat Saber at that level, even a very, very small issue is a big problem. You basically can't hit anything because it's a rhythm game, right? And especially if you're trying to get good scores and you're trying to get clean cuts right down the middle of the block, you don't have a lot of time to react.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And they mocked me. They were like, Beat Saberver hardcore gamer yeah right yeah it's a thing i uh i i've noticed on i was trying to do this this one expert plus song yeah um and i was actually doing i i put it on no fail so i could see the whole song yeah Yeah. And there's there's essentially two hard parts. And I was able to make it past the first one. Yeah. But then like halfway through the second one, I was starting to fail. And it felt weird. Everything felt sluggish. And like, I was like, I don't think this is me. Could have been that leg. Like, I'm not I'm not sure. I went back to Caramel Dancing and it was all perfectly fine. Yeah. Then I go back to that leg. Could have been that leg. Like, I'm not sure. I went back to Caramel Dancing, and it was all perfectly fine.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah. Then I go back to that song, and it feels sluggish again. And then I had my girlfriend sit down and, like, watch my monitor while I was playing with the latency checker thing. And when I get into that song, the latency goes up to over 17. You know what you should check is I noticed by default default that beat saber cranks the anti-aliasing and super sampling just get rid of it yeah because they have a tremendous performance impact at sometimes and it's not always consistent even from like one time booting the game to the next i've found so i just turned both of them completely off i'll try that i'll try that it's just the the like 17 plus ms is not fun oh no yeah like ranges up
Starting point is 00:48:49 and down while you're playing too so like it'll it'll be fine during the like easy part of the song and then the hard part of the song hits and it's like 17 plus it's so annoying might be might be time for a cpu upgrade man maybe it's it feels like cpu but yeah maybe well i'm gonna i'm gonna mess with the settings we'll see what i can do sure uh i had another uh had a chat here that i wanted to respond oh yeah right another thing is uh david from work was telling me that he figures if he trained up a little bit he's good enough at guitar hero that he could like take me and beat saber like yeah sure yeah sure maybe i'll stream later maybe i'll stream later guys all right let's see if we've got any other tech topics for today uh ah yes this was posted by the last millennial on
Starting point is 00:49:38 the forum okay we we can we can go into that there's part of the pewdiepie lifting thing that we didn't go over though. Oh, what was it? We talked earlier in the stream. I said, if you do want to start lifting once this COVID thing is slightly past, I will totally go with you. I find it so boring. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I like to play games. You know, I like to, I like the only way that I can push myself is if someone else pushes me. Like that's why i've that's why that's why i said i would go with you is you need a you need a gym bro yeah but like i think i need like a score like yeah there has to be like a winner and a loser and if i go lifting with you there's there's a winner and a loser all right but i think we all know who it is
Starting point is 00:50:21 yeah you have to self-competition to a certain degree i i like mixing in i like mixing in boxing um like but yeah okay here's here's my problem my problem with it is that like i can't i can't motivate myself like even badminton i i am sort of notorious for abandoning people when i get too good to play with them um which maybe makes me a bit of a a bit of a butthole um you know you can make you could make that argument but the thing is like what i find is that uh one of one of my uh one of my old doubles partners said to me it's like some expression like you can't sharpen your knife on on adult like you can't sharpen a uh uh a blade against a dull thing or something like that or whatever it was some some expression i'm sure someone's gonna tell me what the
Starting point is 00:51:18 expression is but it's like like a proverb or something um good expression thumbs up yeah good expression thumbs up um and i find for me that's true if i play with or against bad players i will play down and if i play with or against good players i'll play up and so i think that's true for pretty much everyone though like that's a you that that's like a one of the issues with with gaming and sport is if your region is bad it's going to be much more difficult for you to be worldwide scale really good yes because you need to be competing against good people in order to elevate yourself joe r says the best person to compete against is yourself. Try to always beat your old record.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Yeah, but like, oh, that's so boring. I hear you. I'm in the same spot there. Yeah, I find it to be definitely not as fun. I like doing stuff like pushing sleds and doing things that feel more sport-like. That sounds horrible. That helps me.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Pushing sleds. What are are you like a husky what well i guess they pull sleds but it's the same principle same principle yeah a little different i don't know i i just i have such a hard time and i i don't like the i don't like the the testosterone-y environment of the gym okay I've set foot in, I set foot in my high school gym outside of the units where you have to do it. Hold on. That's the last gym I set foot in. So I'll tell you that much. That should give you some idea. So I set foot in there once. I was looking for someone that I wanted to hang out with at lunch. And that should give you some idea how often the people that I hung out with, I might expect to find them in the gym. It was my last resort. I was in there one time and I hated it. It was the worst. I was like, no, forget it. I hate these people. I'm done. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And the funny thing about it is as adults, those people who go in the gym has changed a lot. There's so many people on staff. Like, I haven't seen Ed in pretty much two months because I haven't been going to work. And I, like, I looked at him today and I was like, you've been going to the gym? He's like, no, no, I, something, something, something. I'm like, he's like, yeah, I've been going to the gym.
Starting point is 00:53:39 I'm like, shut up, you jerk. But he's like, he's like Jack now. Like, he's like kind of barrel chested right now it's kind of crazy because you probably haven't seen him in a few months either um so like the the kind of people that go to the gym is like ed terran brandon yeah that's like that would have been not that far off like david yeah people i would have hung out with like in high school i'd have been fine like chilling with those guys yeah yeah it's actually kind of crazy like for like a tech nerd company the percentage of people at lmg that take being in shape quite seriously someone said taryn question mark lol no taryn goes to the gym taryn is jacked terran is like way more stacked than you realize oh yeah i would not
Starting point is 00:54:28 fight terran like i would be scared not because i think his form would be very good but he is enough stronger than me that i would be in a bad place like when i met a lot of people were surprised when i met taryn because you got to remember he's like six inches taller than me right when i met taryn i probably had 20 pounds on him now yeah he's probably got like 45 55 pounds on me like he's put on like a like i i don't know how long it's been six or seven years i'm assuming he's been on a six or seven years like weight gaining yeah strength building campaign yeah and he's been he's been kind of killing it so like you know how the perception of like vegetarianism and veganism has changed over the last 10 years or so
Starting point is 00:55:17 terran has basically followed that perception when i met him he was the stereotypical like healthy vegetarian and now he's the stereotypical healthy vegetarian you know like i didn't even know he was a vegetarian but like yeah he is anymore i'm not sure i okay yeah but he was when i met him yeah taryn is stacked yes yeah don't doubt oh yeah dennis too like dennis is way thicker than you guys might realize yeah so yeah i'm not committing anything when it comes to going to the gym i hate it and it smells bad and the people make me uncomfortable and i find the equipment scary and i don't know how to use it and i don't want to do it we could go to uh my parents jim i still don't want to do it i hate everything about it there you go all right uh posted by the
Starting point is 00:56:16 last millennial um texas instrument bands asm programs i'm sorry on ti-84 calculators. The most recent OS for the TI-83 Premium CE removes the ability for the calculator to run any assembly code. That means that any programs written in ASM or C will not run on any CE operating on the newest TIOS 5.5.1 or higher. The impetus for the change seems to be a popular YouTube video
Starting point is 00:56:43 showing test mode restriction being bypassed. So TI's response aims to uphold their exam mode security reputation. The thing is that the calculator running or the calculator in the video is running on an obsolete three-year-old OS and the community that has sprung up around programming for these calculators has over the years, as far as I can tell, actively protected a lot of the exploits that already existed and had nothing to do with running assembly code on these programs that would allow them to be exploited. The OS is not great. It's not secure. And if someone wanted to bypass this, they could do so easily enough. So all they've done effectively here is shut down the ability for homebrew coders and people just
Starting point is 00:57:32 learning to use really the device that they've already got to learn some basic assembly code. It's just a crappy move and makes absolutely no sense and makes no difference whatsoever. And really all that's serving to do is antagonize that community that has been around for so long and put them in a position where they might start trying to break the security rather than, you know, protect these secrets. So this seems like just a bad move, bad move, stupid stupid move dumb move and i get that you know it's a lucrative market right selling garbage for 130 bucks or whatever it costs for a ti80 whatever um and you know you don't want to lose your status as an approved exam taking calculator but find another way right geez yeah put the development time into doing it properly lord knows you can afford it for what you charge for those calculators it's absurd they must have one of the greatest uh like percentages i don't remember the proper term for it but percentages on sale for for like each
Starting point is 00:58:43 product that they sell of any tech company out there that sells physical products yeah we i mean i talked about this in a recent video people complain a lot about apple's profit on their products but compared to stuff like the uh the the 550 us dollar gigabit network module that i put in my ups the other day or this calculator that you know how many how many dollars of you know we're talking black and white displays man what year is it right like it's it's obscene they're so cheap oh man the The SpaceX launch was delayed. Yep, bad weather. Bummer. It happens.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Yep. I mean, they do have a backup window fairly soon, if I recall correctly, right? Yeah, I don't remember when. Let's see if I can find it. Yeah, May 30th. You're gonna be watching tomorrow yep but they have like 500 000 people watching or something crazy like that it's pretty nuts if if they have a launch that's during like standard hours flow plane productivity dips and i don't even i just watched the vod later but like it it just it happens i can tell
Starting point is 01:00:07 yeah yeah i get it i get it you know if they uh with that kind of watch time man they drag that out for a few hours that is a lot of youtube premium revenue you know that could uh be a nice little you know nice little mortgage helper you know You're a nice little mortgage helper, you know? Yeah, yeah. We paid for some minuscule percentage of the fuel with YouTube Premium. I got one more topic I wanted to get through today. macOS 10.15.5 has a feature that reduces your battery life
Starting point is 01:00:38 to save your battery's life. Nice. I love it. I love it. No, this is great no this is this is a good thing this is a good thing so this is um you know similar to what you might find on um oh man i'm trying to think of who else does a good job of this i think dell has a widget that allows you to do this on their laptops don't quote me on that but basically it's a battery health management um tool that allows you to uh change the maximum amount that your battery will charge so if you charge your lithium battery to its
Starting point is 01:01:15 maximum and especially if you leave it there it will degrade much faster than if you charge it to 80 allow it to go down to 60 and then top it back up okay so having it operate within a narrower range and never at the extremes will make it last for many many many more charge cycles even if you don't get as much time away from the wall outlet on each go so let me just see if there's anything else in my notes here that i was supposed to talk about but the maximum oh this is cool the maximum charge apparently it's like done dynamically. So it's changed based on your charging patterns and the battery temperature. That's pretty cool. Temperature, blah, blah. We can use the analogy of a storage closet. Yeah. Uh, I don't know who actually put
Starting point is 01:01:59 this in here. Oh, Alex Clark. He says, IMO, this is awesome. There's not many times that I need the full 10 hours or whatever of battery life on my laptop. Normally, I'll just be using it away from the wall for an hour or two. So being able to save the battery in the long term is something that I would turn on immediately. The problem though, is those times that you do want 100%, how does it know or how do you deal with that? That's kind of a tougher question. It would be nice to have that as an option. Apparently MSI does this as well, says Garrett H in the floatplane chat. That's pretty cool. It's happened a number of times in the past.
Starting point is 01:02:34 This implementation where it tries to learn and stuff and it seems to know charging patterns and whatnot, that's super cool. Well, I know Huawei's doing that on their phones, like their AI, whatever. It'll tune power usage. I don't know if it actually tunes how much the battery charges though, so don't quote me on that.
Starting point is 01:02:51 All right, was there anything else tech-wise that you wanted to talk about this week? These anti-5G USB sticks thing is hilarious. Oh, lordy, I was just going to gloss over that. So stupid. Fine, fine. Okay, so let's check out this photo i'll bring it up you want to talk people through it while i bring up this picture that makes my brain hurt i honestly don't fully
Starting point is 01:03:12 understand um nobody fully understands this i have read into this um usually i haven't even read into these articles before we hit wanshow i have actually read into this and I still don't fully get it. Maybe I'm just not big brain enough to understand why I need a 5G bio shield. But they are called 5G bio shields. They are $350, I believe. And they are actually just a 128 megabyte flash drive, which is amazing. And they have a sticker on them. And that's it. And they are sold out.
Starting point is 01:03:55 And now they're being peddled on the street. What is happening? I don't understand. How else are you going to fight the electric fog? Yes, electric fog. There's some amazing quotes. I don't see them really in our docs. I'm trying to look them up right now.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Oh, here we go. Okay, this is my favorite section. The 5G bio shield makes it possible, thanks to a uniquely applied process of quantum nanolayer technology, to balance the imbalance of electric oscillations arising from all-electric fog induced by all devices such as laptops, cordless phones, wireless LAN, tablets, etc. The USB stick brings balance into the sorry, brings balance into the field. Sounds like brings balance to the force, but brings balance into the field at the atomic and cellular level.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Restoring balanced effects to all harmful ionized and non-ionized radiation. What an impressive sticker. All right. So if you want me to keep the beard, you can go on LTTstore.com. What an impressive sticker. All right, so if you want me to keep the beard, you can go on lttstore.com and buy the beard version of the shirt. If you want me to shave that disgusting thing on your face, then you can buy the clean version of the shirt. And whichever one sells more in the next two weeks,
Starting point is 01:05:28 LTT store.com dictates my facial hairstyle for the rest of the year. Buy the beard shirt. Buy the beard shirt. For the rest of the year. So there's the bird design, beard design, beard designs right there. And the one I'm wearing,
Starting point is 01:05:41 the one I'm representing is the clean design. I would actually. You're representing the clean design. I would actually. You're representing the clean design. I would actually prefer to go back to the clean face just because it's like. Even more of a reason to buy the beard shirt. Especially if I wear a mask, it's pretty itchy. It's like, it's another thing to maintain. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:59 So far it hasn't been much work because I just have to keep the neckline clean but it's getting like it's getting too long and so now i'm gonna have to like learn to shape it and stuff and that just you know it's like it looks really good though by the way on full plane there is bearded lioness and non-bearded lioness emotes are there really how do you get them yeah i believe everyone has them oh seriously oh lordy yeah okay that's it's all over all over the chat thanks guys yeah that's funny ah all right it's fam aj likes the beard all right thanks aj thanks aj all right well i think that's it for the show i have nothing to say about the 5G BioShield other than just please, please.

Linus, if you get hit by a bus, I'll take your job.

Jounie, could you do some sort of quick video explaining the naming conventions of Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD's product lines? I could try! They keep changing! I wish they'd just have some consistency, you know? Lightblueoystercult says, It's been said Linus is an Intel shill. It's been said Linus is an AMD shill. But I now realize Linus is a tech Clint Eastwood in a fistfulful of dollars taking money from both sides while playing each side against the other i can neither confirm nor deny
Starting point is 01:09:30 jack says hey like linus and luke my girlfriend kristin said she needs a new pc game to play which would you suggest to her she's basically only played minecraft and is brand new to pc gaming thanks in part to you too have you tried it i have is it any good um i wasn't super enthralled it it feels well made i played like the day it launched and there was no issues and the game ran super smooth it felt really good the i really like the graphics all that kind of stuff um but kind of empty but those yeah yeah just felt kind of empty yeah it seemed like there was way too much there there's no classes which is like kind of cool because you kind of construct your character through your itemization right and i mean yeah your itemization um but it just the the progression didn't really fit may have in chance and stuff i don't know it has stuff
Starting point is 01:10:33 going for it i could totally see people liking it especially if you want that type of like a path of exile or diablo style experience but more casual um i also really like that there's well implemented local multiplayer right because that's not something that's super common these days yeah so if you want a fun relaxing entertaining good looking couch game great um i'm i'm not gonna i'm not like falling over myself to play it all the time but definitely an interesting addition i'm going with overcooked game lineup i think it's a yeah for sure it's a great it's a great couples game uh because you either will bond as a couple or you'll realize you didn't need to be a couple at
Starting point is 01:11:16 all yeah that's overcooked in a nutshell yeah or an eggshell eggshell but then once you beat it like i don't know i'm cool with there being other couch games no but i mean uh jack can always send me a new super chat when they're done with overcooked get you that get you that new recommendation bro got you covered uh robert mail says mc pro hosting got hijacked okay you know who didn't get hijacked the ltt minecrafts are oh lord uh mc.ltt.gg yes okay that's fair enough um x hell cats asks when will floatplane chat be available in the app yeah luke because then i would be able to put my phone in front of me when i'm streaming and i could see the floatplane chat that would be super handy i mean you could probably just do that with one of your extra monitors.
Starting point is 01:12:05 At home? No, I don't have any extra monitors at home. Get an extra monitor at home. I have limited space at home, Luke. This is like the meme. Like, Linus is driving home with his mom, and he's like, Mom, can we get an extra monitor?
Starting point is 01:12:19 And mom is like, We have an extra monitor at home. And then his extra monitor at home is just his phone. Well, yeah, but like... It's so sad. That's all i have space for i i've got an ultra wide here i don't have room to get another monitor for it you could mount one you could mount one oh my gosh i'm not i'm not doing that i've got my lights above it and camera above it and like there's a wall like okay here's my hand that's the wall okay and then yvonne's desk right there that's it that's as far as i
Starting point is 01:12:46 went like that's it this is all i got until unless i move i kind of want to move and just like make like a battle station room just like why do you need a bigger house because i needed an entire room for my battle station that would be such a flex oh my goodness be super happy yeah it's it's there's there's a lot of features we want right Right now we're really pushing to get the new different types of content posting stuff out. That's like, we're very, very focused on that right now. Live chat in the app, dark mode. There's a lot of user-centric features that we want to release and we will be releasing. But we're really trying to push this different types
Starting point is 01:13:28 of content thing out first, because it's something that I think we've needed for a long time and is going to be a pretty major upgrade to the site. And then there's a lot of front-end improvements that we want to do. There's a lot of things that you guys know of, like dark mode, like live stream in the app or live stream chat in the app etc that yeah the the to-do list on flow plane is long and rather
Starting point is 01:13:52 and hard and very hard um but yeah we'll we'll get to it last super chat for zed just because i love this i love this uh 10 10 pounds just because after years of enjoyment i should contribute and i quit smoking so have some of my x-tar funds you know what zed awesome good on you i mean there are there are few things that i would consider to be a worse use of money than sending a super chat to a youtuber but smoking is one of them definitely Definitely one of them. You won the game today. Big kudos to Zed for just getting rid of that habit. Great job. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:35 That's it for the show. Just that little bit of positivity. A little bit of positivity is a good thing right about now, I think. All right. Thanks, guys.
