at Luke laugher alright guys welcome to the wine show got another great show for you guys I'm sure we've done a great show once before at the very least oh wow they turned around the screen on the camera that's gonna be really distracting it's awkward I don't think I can I don't think I cannot look at it hey one of the hey thanks David what's wrong with looking at it well no if you look at it then you're gonna look slightly off yeah it's kind of like if you're having a conversation with someone like this like hi James how are you today but it's also kind of weird if you just look into the lens too much for too long people get mad at that dude no he yelled at me once on a video about that yeah okay well what happened was I was trying to read the script and it was the first time that it wasn't tackling to a tech wiki and I actually had to interact with a product I was using so I was trying to read the teleprompter which is right in front of the lens and then I was trying to look away sometimes at the thing and hold it and present it yeah and I was not skilled enough to go from that back to my spot on the scrolling text right and so I kept screwing up so when the final edit came through and the editor was done putting it all together all that takes that work every take that worked was one where I looked right in the lens without blinking so the final hi everyone I am talking about this product I am NOT a robot I am a Humana final video was super penetrating and like all the comments were like man you need to look away once in a while blink once in a while I was trying guys okay I can see that but when shows a more conversational format so this is one of those things where sorry guys we will really get to topics relatively quickly today but we're sorry we look the show is having a conversation ok so it's one of those things where it's context dependent so depending on what type of video it is sometimes it's really important to maintain eye contact the whole time like when I was working on the video this week about the red mags that was the kind of video where because I am having a conversation with the person across the table from me who just happens to be a camera it's important to maintain eye contact because guys we're trying to have a real chat here we're trying to demystify something especially if it's a more sensitive video like after your I don't know iPhone 10 or something review when you you made a subsequent video was like look we kind of screwed up in these ways I didn't want the video to come out the way it did come out and you're having like a frank discussion with the audience yes it's important to maintain eye contact it's just it's a matter of respect whereas when you are like with your like if you can imagine something that was like more of a like a narrative type contact content where the characters are interacting with each other and it's like hi James it sure is a pleasure to be here today right Linus I can't wait to have a show where we actually talk about tech so it's all it's all context dependent so we do have a bunch of great topics for you guys today Amazon accidentally sold thirteen thousand dollar-plus camera gear for a hundred dollars on prime day which wouldn't be much of a win show topic there wouldn't be a lot of discussion there except that I can actually talk about my experience being on the other end as opposed to the consumer who got a great deal being the product manager who accidentally priced something for 1/10 of what it was supposed to be so we'll discuss that we've also got neural link Elon Musk's brain interface company applying to the FDA for human trials I already have mine he wants to wear that World's Greatest Dad shirt look about the world's first and the second greatest there are some people in this office that find that t-shirt offensive like if you got one for me too and we both wear I didn't if we were Co World's Greatest Dad I might feel slightly less personally attacked there's only one greatest one goat and we're also gonna cover facebook's finally getting the fine of five billion dollars well actually they're not but that's the announce time I'm out yeah it still hasn't gone through but five billion the number of matters roll the intro Leandro it's lagging apparently again I don't I just don't get it I am we streamed for half an hour on the test yeah please do because this is getting ridiculous like we can't be using this exact computer to stream on the test channel and then that doesn't make any sense for those of you watching on YouTube we would strongly recommend home heading over to twitch.tv slash Linus tech yes I can I can do that if YouTube can't figure out their live streaming then people can go watch on Twitch the stream is fine over there so we're multi-streaming we did a half an hour long test on our other channel and it was fine so honestly I don't know what to tell you guys we have no idea what the problem is but it's clearly not our internet clearly not our restreaming service because that's working to twitch on this one and to our test YouTube channel and so yeah we don't know we've got the settings identical between them it's apparently only some people so there's people in chat that are saying there's no legs so all I can tell you guys is if you are experiencing leg twitch.tv slash Linus tech we're also having some leg issues on floatplane those are unrelated those are floatplane related we have to change from nimble video streamer to a different one because basically there's too many of you now we have to make something new so thanks so much for your support all your friends but get them to trickle in yeah Luke's gonna have some really cool floatplane news next week but for now I think the best thing that we can do is jump right into our highlight topic for the week which is of course the pricing errors on Amazon's prime day this isn't something you noticed when you guys were doing your prime day stream no it wasn't did you cover any camera gear no we didn't so this is supposed to by RC mail I think is high pronounced I'd like to do the hell just for the record yeah you have one of the my most hated names on the forum I do know this could you stop why won't you stop attacking me Europe you're a bad dad yeah you have a crap name on a bad dad you're just not the world this anymore for three weeks now you hate RC Bay Hills I've been doing the wind doc for like a year and a half or something like that or maybe even two years and this person posts all the time and I still have to spell and like look and spell the name it just makes no sense in my mind I can't remember how to spell it ever so thanks dude maybe it's RC may HL you know like maybe we're missing something here anyway do you want to run us through what happened so on prime day some users not everybody but some people saw weird prices for lots of different camera gear so this is on the same item like two different people would see a different price for the same item they all saw the same price yeah but it wasn't the intended price got it so it started out on one item in particular and then people noticed that it was actually on lots of different items and it was always the price of 94 dollars and 48 cents right and then so there's a forum that a lot of these like deal seekers use called slick deals slips a little been around forever actually you can get slick deals over there the slickest you know what's funny I'm gonna totally derail you here yes I would like that we had thought about create you know how Linus tech tips doesn't have an award program like we don't have like like a loyalty program no not a rewards program we don't have an award program like when we review something oh yeah won't be like four and a half stars out of five recommend to buy and like we don't have like a little badge design for that I just don't know it's always felt kind of silly to me and we don't do it but we had considered doing it one at one point just because we had the best possible names for what the awards would be so Luke and I were each gonna have separate ones and it was gonna be already in there was gonna be this list okay Linus's likes with like a thumbs up like modeled after our Facebook style thing and then slicks deals oh that's pretty good so we figured like okay if we were gonna have an award program it would have to be cringy like that but then we just kind of never got it off the ground anyway carry on yes slick deals it's a website yeah they posted on the forum there and then it kind of spread and lots of people got in on it apparently a lot of people made orders and some people's orders have been fulfilled so some people realize that they are getting slick deals and tried to make the best of it like there was this one guy he bought like $10,000 worth of stuff for $900 worth of real money and then Wow some of it got to live got actually delivered to him but what happened was Amazon itself with a completely separate system flagged his credit card because they thought someone was was using it maliciously like just you've never bought ten cameras before so they shut it down so only some of the stuff in his cart are I think maybe maybe he did it one order and then he made a new cart and then that one wouldn't didn't get fulfilled so he got kind of stymied for a different reason but yeah some people got off with etana sweet year so there's things like sony a6000 kits a 6500 s 10 to 18 millimeter bundle a $2,000 sony a7 body 2900 all this stuff apparently there was like a $13,000 big one of those giant lenses that people use to zoom in on birds all this stuff for like $94 holy crap I mean to be clear though the person talking about the $13,000 lens wrote that oh no another member wrote regarding their canon EF oh no this is 800 millimeter yep waiting for the cancellation but that's like 99% off others reported that they successfully price matched gear at retailers like Best Buy crazy so that is crazy because I have seen other times where on I think it was them like a Boxing Day thing yeah where someone had a crazy deal and then the other local retailers just said no we're not doing it it's too crazy yeah wouldn't order they wouldn't match it even though it was their policy so going back to my days as a product manager at an online retailer one of my one of my big mistakes early on in my career as a product manager was actually on a mountain mods case I remember it pretty well and I was pretty new to the product management team I only had basically the only product lines that I was allowed to handle were the ones that were not really worth anyone else's time like they were either very high touch some very very time-consuming with a lot of like nitpicky stupid crap or very low margin or like completely deadlines that someone else had like just abandoned and just didn't feel like dealing with anymore so they just kind of got shed over to me that's how you get baptized in fire pretty much like I started out trying to make a name for myself with water cooling and like weird fringe vendors and mountain mods was one of them so here I'm just gonna turn my screen here so Mountain mods actually still exists and it's really funny that case labs made so much noise about how their designs got ripped off by Thermaltake because to my knowledge now I could be wrong correct me in the chat but as far as I know Mountain mods has been around a heck of a lot longer than case labs and they are the original cube case I feel like if there's some kind of like tech like the force like Star Wars force you can sense all the keyboards around the road clacking right now to try to investigate this for us someone's gonna have an answer I know right so Mountain mods it was one of their ascension cases I think basically they're like kind of a modular case maker and a big problem for them was that their shipping prices into Canada sucked donkey balls so any Canadians that wanted to buy a mountain mods case couldn't really get one at a reasonable price because they're already super expensive because they're made in the US still to my knowledge including the actual metal fabrication and powder coating looks heavy and they are heavily kind of customizable they're actually not that heavy they're aluminum so they're heavily customizable they're big and they ship free assembled so they're like freakin huge and all the accessories are like super expensive and there's all these different options and shipping cross border was a little bit tougher back then man there's it still sucks okay there we go okay so let's just grab like a u2 u2 UFO is kind of like their og case that's changed a lot over the years but I'm willing to bet the pictures on here are from like the N Force two days like it really wouldn't surprise me how slow this frickin cytus know you guys might be love hugging it right now what does that mean love hugging it like I bring it up and then everyone like goes to their site just to like check it out and it's not used to that kind of traffic because they're this super weird little niche vendor so anyway yeah these are like 360 to $400 cases and as soon as you start adding some accessories like you know a dual power supply mount or like a fancy grill for your radiator or whatever the case may be they get really expensive and part of the other problem with them is that because they're highly customizable so when you click on one of the cases you'll have all these different options for like different motherboard trays and different drive mounts and all that kind of crazy stuff it was a really really child here finally bringing it back really challenging line for me to manage because unlike a Corsair case where it's like this is a 580 X it comes with all the things that 580 X comes with and is compatible with the things of 580 X is compatible with I had to kind of pre make the decisions for our customers what color what finish of that color what mounting options in order to kind of try to have something that is pre-configured in our warehouse that makes sense and if I made a bad gamble like if I decided that we wanted UV orange acrylic windows then if we were stuck with dead stock of that I had to go rip all those UV orange ones order some clear ones put them on myself like no one was gonna help move this crap because they all thought it was a total waste of time ultimately carrying Mountain mods was actually a total waste of time we didn't end up making a ton of money on it but you know we tried Bottari mountain moms and they're cool guys like just to be clear I actually had Mountain mods even after we weren't really buying case from them anymore I had them powder coat my case for my personal rig because I just absolutely love their powder coat finish it's just it's fantastic was that available to everybody you could just send yours in and they would finish it and send it back I have no idea they did it for you it for me though nice hey yeah I'm all about I'm all about working the angles and I was just like hey so uh if I'd like disassembled I don't like your cases that much I like my case I really like your paint finish can I send it to you and they did it for me it looks beautiful to this day actually still have that case in mothballs in case I ever don't have like a rack mounted gaming machine I'll probably go back to it now can you speak to the other side of this issue in terms of when we see this and the the spin that all these articles have is that this was a cool freak occurrence where you could get this stuff super cheap which is amazing for anyone involved who got to be there and got to buy stuff super cheap and anyone who missed out is super regretful oh but no one talks about the perspective of the retailer who's like mater we just lost a lot of money this was a five hundred dollar case Canadian our cost because the US dollar was actually quite a bit stronger against the Canadian dollar at that point in time so what happened was I wanted to price it and I think I was even trying to blow them out like I was trying to get rid of them so I had them at I think for $99.99 or something like that so you're just trying to break even and liquidate these I'm just trying to flip them so I accidentally put a decimal in the wrong place now it's funny we actually ended up developing a system later on down the line that would highlight red highlight yellow and then highlight red anything that was marked 10 or 20 like some some percentage I think was a yellow if it was below cost and then red if it was significantly below abnormal I can fly it so it'll so that you'll visually see it on your sheet and you can go to a manual double check but that system didn't exist up until that time apparently they called it the Linus system yeah everyone else who had worked there before that just never made boneheaded entry errors but anyway I accidentally entered four 9.99 9 mm-hmm and the system did manage to autocorrect that I had an extra truncate of the extra nine and then it was 50 bucks and it was 50 bucks for a 500 dollar case now there were because it was such a weird niche item like if we had accidentally priced a hard drive or a CPU or something like volume I demand a high volume item at 10% of the price we would have noticed immediately because like our servers would have gone down you know we would have had 10,000 people on the site trying to order that friggin thing so you're saying this was a silent killer no unnoticed for weeks no no we noticed the next day because every order at NCIX at that time was actually like that the credit-card processing was manually reviewed by a team of people so they went through brought it to the CEO instead of coming and talking to me about it thanks doctor no you know who you are brought it straight to the CEO instead of coming and talking to me about it first and was like hey what's up with this we're losing four hundred and fifty dollars an order on on this item what is this does this seem like sound business to you so I get so so here's kind of the dark you know the other side of this so I get called into the president's office I am a very junior product manager at this point I probably haven't made $5,000 for the compass point and we've got ten orders oh really now it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been because someone actually had seen it the night before and pulled it out of the sale and I don't even know if we had ten units in stock but basically it was it was five grand which to me to a lot of people I think is a lot of money right five thousand dollars a lot of money sure and he kind of he looks like sit down and he goes so here's what here's the situation what are we going to do about this and I was like are you asking me I don't know what are we gonna do about this and I was like I'll call them and I'll explain I'm sorry we can't do that our bad and he's like no we're gonna honor it we're gonna eat it this time but that's your training budget for the year don't do it again and I kind of went so so even if you didn't have ten in stock so you had seven in stock yeah you ordered the other three and fulfilled them if those ones could have been easily canceled if I recall correctly the ones we didn't have in stock we cancelled the orders but the ones that we did have in stock we ate it yeah so I think we had close to however many we sold and apparently this gear was being sold and shipped by Amazon so I actually would have been Amazon and eating this and then Amazon employee getting the talk like that you had it so I guess here is you know you'll you'll hear a lot of people talk about these kinds of pricing errors from a very I would say selfish perspective they'll say well yah maybe you're something to me about mistake thunder to which I would respond okay what's your job are you a I don't know are you a construction worker are you a drywall derp are you a chef are you uh you know whatever whatever it is if you were to make a mistake that's that easy to make if you were to put a nail into the wrong spot remember you are just a cog in the machine I'm not saying that you run the company because in our case the CEO was in a position to make a decision like let's lose $5,000 today you know so you're just a cog in the machine if you were to put a nail in the wrong spot three inches to the right should you just lose $5,000 I'm talking about the triviality of the error that was made and the total consequences so you know on the one hand yes advertising a false price is bad and actually in many cases illegal but in this case I would argue that in some ways the consumer knowing that that price is obviously not correct and predatory alee ordering something is not in the right either even though their action is completely legal I would say it is not really ethical sure but there's yeah everyone knows that you know everyone feels down this term of late late stage capitalism capitalism is great it's the most successful distributions like wealth distribution system we've ever invented but there are some dark sides of it that result in oligopolies and and all sorts of other things and silo wheeling of wealth and stuff like that and I think because those dark sides of capitalism exist when things like this happen in favor of consumer I'm kind of just like yeah today it worked for me yeah do two wrongs make a right I mean that becomes I think a bigger debate at a certain point do you think there's anyone who benefited from this sale who would go ah you know what cancel the order this I don't deserve this $5,000 camera well I think they would say yeah go ahead well okay I think it takes a particular type of person to go and like again you know when I talk about being predatory I'm not talking about ordering the $500 camera for $100 that's maybe believable you know you might not even look that closely at it you might think it's it's a it's a B stock one the $13,000 lens for $94 yeah or or going and ordering placing six or seven separate orders trying to get as many of them as you can and like ultimately that is it's not stealing because someone is voluntarily giving it to you but I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna say something super controversial and I'm gonna say by the same logic you know the the settlers here in North America didn't steal land from the Native Americans then because they in many cases gave it up voluntarily not realizing or understanding what the deal they were making was like I would make the argument that that retailer or that provider of product didn't know that that was what was happening and that's clearly predatory well it's a little different cuz this is probably an error but as a parent if you found out that your kid got was one such person that got the thirteen thousand dollar lens first you would make you'd have a toddler and make them turn it yep interesting sucks view your kids is there a line where like okay if they get the five hundred dollar one for a hundred dollars yes that's kind of justifiable yeah to me it's believable if they get one that's like two thousand dollars for a hundred dollars you're making them return it but if they get something extreme that you're like okay don't tell anybody that's crazy you just keep it like if they find a duffel bag of like a billion dollars several dog track if they finally get a duffel bag of money that's like three million dollars in it you're like okay just don't tell anybody let's just move see that's the thing okay it's still unethical but if I found a duffel bag of money on the street I've actually I've actually thought about this I have theory crafted this for myself if I found a duffel bag of money on the street I'm gonna use an arbitrary number but let's say it has five million dollars in it and I'm talking Canadian rupees so it's not like you know what no let's say five million US okay five million US dollars now my first instant a second yeah can we just do it then you have to fence US dollars to Canadian stuff can we just make it whatever your home currency is you find a bunch of money okay fine you find five billion US dollars equivalent in your home currency so for us that's about six and a half million dollars okay good thank you very much so okay I find five million dollars in a bag now my first instinct is actually fear yeah sure why is this here who's watching it you know I open it cuz I'm like you know let's say I open it because I'm earnestly trying to return it to the owner right and I open it I'm like holy crap it's full of money there's no identifying information in it whatsoever right so you are supposed to turn it in to the police that's what you're supposed to do is that law I believe so yes you have to give it to them to give whoever lost it some reasonable amount of time to claim it and then after that I believe theoretically it's supposed to be forfeited back to you but I think in the cases of very valuable or very large sums of cash that might not necessarily be the case and it might just go to the crown well you're so you can be relatively sure that it's laundered money or dirty money anyway you can be relatively sure of that yes so with that in mind even though it's unethical I've thought about this actually I got a plane right I'm pretty sure my course of action I was like lying awake one night I couldn't sleep doesn't matter the point is I'm pretty sure this is what I do I would take it home and I would bury it somewhere just I would just bury it and I would wait for some very long period of time if someone came looking for it I'd want to have it all because I don't know who's showing up for it could be cops could be drug dealers could be human traffickers no idea but whoever they are I I want some kind of credible plausible deniability story about how I was I was keeping it safe and trying to get in touch with whoever owned it here you go go away please never talk to me again you probably get beat up but they might yeah okay okay so after some period of time let's say eighteen months two years got to keep it I'd keep it it would be unethical and I would know it's unethical but given who the victim was we're not talking some random blue-collar worker who's just trying to do their job we're talking probably drug dealers and human traffickers or whatever we're gonna five million dollars in a duffel bag there's no legitimate reason for that to exist given who the victim is yeah it's good I don't care it's a good plan I like it I don't know that I would go to my house first I might just drive around I don't know okay you know what actually that's I'm not gonna be like oh now that you say that yes I did think of that I actually did I had considered that I would I would want to make sure I didn't have a tail but but I would end up at my house eventually and I would bury it at my house would you pick it up right away or would you just go and sit down on a bench it within eyeshot oh I would pick it up right away I'd pick it up right away for sure but then what I would do is I would pick it up right away and I would wait nearby with it so that way if someone were to show up and I'd be like sitting on my phone or something if someone were to show up I'd be like oh yeah I totally noticed that this was very weird and I was looking in the news to see if like who it might go back to and I was I was about to call the police here you go we're super cool right bye mm-hmm like I would I would pretend that I was at least making so naive playing dumb yeah just told me playing dumb there's not a bad bet well how did we get on this you got one of those cameras I say keep it you're a good person I remember when I was you know in university when terabyte hard drives were first coming out there was an error like that I forget what company it was but they were going for like 60 bucks or something like that which was a steal at the time and yeah I regretted not being able to cash in on it okay but remember - that's that 60 bucks like it's somewhat credible and besides there's a difference between ordering one and ordering 20 so actually yeah one smarter so pricing errors would happen fairly often at NCIX and I can tell you right now if you're the guy that orders one we were far more likely to let it go and if you were the guy that orders ten we were far more likely to tell you to go cram it up your butt you get nothing because the thing that you got to understand is in any case like this it's always a judgment call and they're gonna make a decision case by case basis how much was this our fault how much is our total overall loss how much of a complete a hole is this particular individual being about it like if someone came to us and was like threatening right am I supposed to drink out of this you can't if you want good well it's not mine oh it's Britain its brand new oh yeah right for launching a new device in here take Oh new water bottle there's ice in this yeah they don't come with ice yeah they don't come to face they don't come with bath water either thankfully so this is the new limited edition I don't know we might make more them you never know but we didn't do that many of them but this is the stealth line is tech tips water bottle so gone is the orange logo in is the matte black logo what's actually kind of a glossy black but the whole thing so this is the design that I was like yeah do this one yeah sweet so we decided to do both we did the orange one first and then we just had them the orange ones are selling so well that we were like okay let's do more orange ones and what the hey let's do a stealth one too so ltte store.com you guys are gonna want to check that out it's the same process the other highlights tell all right I forgot about that okay so this week is the stealth bundle I don't have to actually give them an offer code do I automatically applied so all you got to do is scroll right past the underwear or buy that too and go ahead and add to the cart the stealth hoodie and your size of choice god damnit how cute is colton the a stealth water bottle which we'll have pictures shortly but it looks like this you guys saw it and the LTTE hats in black which I love and bippity Boppity Boppity boo boom you get the Hat for free so there's no indication that this bundle exists until you make it yourself in your car you might call it a stealth yep so it'll automatically apply to your cards so guys Oh what the heck dang it you guys should try to put other things in your cart and see what happens you never know merch might just show up at your house stupid kids they play with my they play with the strings on my hoods pull them out see even though it's no there's a knot in it so it's not gonna come out easily but they are always screwing around we have preventive measures for this I know we thought of this in the design but they like your kids foiled you work hard at it I don't have a red hat I only have the black ones this is pretty nice anyway so yeah it's the hoodie that I'm wearing right now which can be configured with the strings even but you know your mileage may vary on that so this one with the phone pocket and the water bottle pocket does not have a water bar where the heck's my phone yeah you does have a water bottle pocket yeah so it's got the phone pocket I wouldn't actually recommend putting a water bottle that'll stretch it um this is my hoodie hoodie so it's this one it's the black on black hat and it's the black on black water bottle add all those to your cart and you will get $20 off which is basically the price of the Hat and so it's kind of like getting a free hat it's so like unusual that I love this hat because usually when I try on a hat for some reason robes my head shape or whatever but I get these weird creases like right here in here yeah these ones they're just perfect great for covering up your greasy hair which is uh most of the bad today most of the week I mean I'm going I'm going with my hair today I'm not much of a Haggai everyday but I burn in about eight minutes outside so I actually do wear it like when I wear that hat and a hoodie you my wife says that I look like I'm from abbotsford abbotsford what does that even mean as opposed to Vancouver I guess I don't know um nearly what's this other shirt you have on oh okay are we doing sponsor let's do spot you know what thought we were monsters now LTX 2019 baby it's gonna be flippin sick this is my staff shirt Wow I got staff really excited I mean look if we're pimping everything I might as well job like yeah god we've got the underwear now - yeah yeah I actually got our first customer feedback on the underwear already no yeah yeah someone tagged me in a status update on the forum Pacis you tight and yeah sure James yeah they they message me on the forum they were like wow I can't believe I got it so fast cuz we watched it a couple days ago they got it yesterday so they got it basically immediately where they were like yeah I'm actually not sure and I couldn't share that information anyway but I guess I could if it was vague enough yeah I don't know I don't know where they gonna in Canada in the US no idea but they got it already and they're ordering two more two more apparently they're like yeah I love it that's saying a lot you're having nine pairs of underwear that's like getting me probably gonna be half of this person's whole repertoire of underwear yeah I mean if they do weekly laundry maybe their whole one and yeah they were just like yeah I ordered one as a test and I'm ordering two more they're they're freaking awesome love them and that's saying a lot especially when you consider that they're $50 $50 us for a three packs or excuse me for three pairs that's not just nice Orban it there are lots of speaking Canadian dollars wish I feel like buying power wise is probably the same like if you're in the u.s. you buy $20 underwear probably hurts you the same as $20 underwear in the in Canada yeah if you find good underwear that's $22 that's like a good deal cuz there's a lot of boxers that think they should be worth $35 it depends what you're used to cuz if you're like a Lululemon shopper oh yeah my whole drawer then for the - yeah $22 underwear probably doesn't shock you whereas a Lululemon ones are $22 a $25 that's why they're so wicked and then but if you're a Hanes shopper yeah and you buy you know a 30 pack of underwear for ten bucks at like you know Costco look even the cheap brands are more I'm exaggerating yeah I'm exaggerated I'm just saying if you buy like you know Acme Acme you know palette of under what are they actually they're like six dollars a pair I have no idea the lot I have the last time I bought underwear was my wife buys my underwear I don't I don't know how much underwear costs all I know is what I did in terms of like price comparison for these and the material quality is more comparable to your twenty five to thirty five dollar per pair underwear and our pricing is more like fifteen sixteen dollars a pair 16 and a half dollars a pair so I feel like yes they're expensive but also they're not unreasonable and it's part of it is just the brand that we're trying to build for the merch is like look it's unapologetically not cheap but it's also not basic like it's nice you'll like it I'm trying it on how much does underwrite tight underwear and Costco calm and the first thing that comes up is depends your screens not sharing with me for some reason oh wait

know that a Nintendo switch there's another Nintendo switch but also there isn't it's it's the same Nintendo switch but different by a Nintendo switch tip now yes or hold on is it now no it's not mid-august mid-august if in mid August you by Nintendo's yes and a past version of you in the present now bison Nintendo switch you will about two different Nintendo switches yes unless you get old stock and the future you gets old stock and then that's a bummer so you're in mid-august buying a Nintendo switch yes which happens to have been on the shelf since you might at least today yes that sucks because the new ones are gonna have improved battery life pretty significantly improved the current ones are on shelves right now they claim battery life of two and a half to six and a half hours which is a big range but it goes up from pretty decent to like depending on the game and how hot it is yeah and all sorts of stuff the new ones are gonna have four point five to nine hours so that's like on the low end of the new switches the lowest end according to this claim yeah is like in this 66th percentile of the old ones yeah that's pretty good and you're not gonna pay anything more for that that's just gonna be the new standard switch so the the word on the street if you hang out on sites that really follow like silicon news closely is that this is because they had to do on like basically they were just doing a new spin because they needed to move to a new process or they needed it for the switch light or something like that like and since they were doing it anyway they might as well just put it in the full-size switch and then they can have better battery life like basically it's a power consumption decreasing move that they've done here they got a different battery yeah it's not a different battery they have altered the power consumption of the processor in the Nintendo switch so they figured out what the hey we're doing it anyway we might as well put it in the switch the product model number doesn't even change this will have better battery life even than the switch light yeah which has better battery life than the old one well I would think then just for the flick has the switch light is small so I would think for the full-size switch they're just putting the same battery as the original one and it just happens to be a bigger one than the light yeah but they would have needed this more power efficient chip in order to make the switch light have a reasonable battery life at all while also being quite a bit smaller right the rumor at this point is that an enhanced version of the switch targeted at avid gamers is also in production but Nintendo has not indicated that this is the case as of yet with that said based on this new manufacturing process if they were to produce a more powerful chip and target 2.5 to 6.5 hours of gameplay like the original switch maybe they could do a switch Pro or a switch where you think they would call it Wow there are other Nintendo consoles that have had iterations like that bro monikers have they ever done like a DS pro well they did lots of different versus advanced with Game Boy and SP but what about on actual consoles like a 64 yeah I mean they'd be like a Super Nintendo Super switch Super Nintendo wasn't just an iteration there's a whole new yeah like Nintendo's naming four things are so weird cuz like one time that they have maintained inter console compatibility was with the Wii and the Wii U so what switch you but that was a complete failure don't say that anymore you know if it was anyone else you know I'd be like switch GT like that would be a more conventional North American thing to do or like a switch st you know where the suffix on it yeah yeah but I can't see a Nintendo doing that it's just not really they should just put another ass the switch to the SS yes okay I wouldn't put anything past them they came the console where you grab a thing like this and wave it around the we like it's I've never heard anyone make that Association really yeah you've never heard anyone make the association between the Wii and a penis and saying we like together no what no I never heard that no no not not doing it together I know but you're saying I thought you meant we oh we like w ee yeah oh no I haven't heard that I think I shot up yes not joking no I don't believe you right now man I'm younger than you that's I was like 14 when that came out and I seen you weren't making P and Weiner Jo no no you were above that you heard it here first guys James James has matured as a human being in a very unusual fashion you see this he starts see this he started out with a very very high brow sense of humor and then he's decorated from there no loud children I only have the shirt do you think as a company like does Nintendo have to get these old soon-to-be inferior switches off the shelves before they can like if you buy one before the new one comes out is there a period of time where you can exchange it like honoring the sale price so I think the store is just gonna end up eating it and they might send it back to Nintendo and Nintendo might have some kind of B stock way to dump old inventory Oh like I'm sure this it's not I mean it's if there's anything they learned from the Wii U don't call something something you and how to get rid of dead stock so I'm sure they can figure it out okay but yeah if I was a retailer and I ended up taking back a bunch of crappy battery life switches I would I'd probably just send them back to Nintendo me look this your problem if you want me to keep carrying your product I'm not eating these all right neural Inc applies to the FDA for human trials so near link a company set up by Elon Musk to explore ways to connect the human brain to a computer interface has applied to US regulators to start trialing its device on humans okay that sounds really click Beatty so near link is a you wrote it I copy/paste it it's a brain machine interface company with the ultimate eventual goal of making an interface that you can connect non-intrusive lee to the brain so we can you don't have hard drives for for memory and and and basically keep this keep up with the AI that's gonna make us their pets so be a cyborg but in Elon Musk fashion he usually shoots for the moon but makes him monetizable path to get there right so if he wants to go to Mars he starts doing he makes his own Space Shuttle and then brings people just to the ISS and makes money doing that so you can finance the eventual trip to Mars and research all the technology along the way so what they're doing with neural link is the same thing there apparently according to their claims they've already surpassed the state-of-the-art and they're trying to make these brain machine interfaces that can help people like with Parkinson's and other neurological diseases just not have seizures anymore and stuff like that and then once they continue to do that eventually the technology be good enough that you and I don't need to use a keyboard and mouse anymore so they showed off some of the aspects of their new tech which is the first device is called the n1 and mostly the talk was a recruitment talk kind of it was a conference Elon wasn't the only one speaking there as other people of the team they showed clips of different people at the team with footage from their loud apparently they have 100 employees really I thought it was like a team of like the 12 best experts in the world but there's like a hundred people there Wow okay and it's super cool so what it is is basically a small chip like smaller than the size of your pinky fingernail and that goes just underneath the skull in like a two millimeter wide incision it's such a small incision that you don't even need a stitch when they when it's over they want the operation to be like getting LASIK eye surgery and yeah kind of like that kind of like installing the chip in a Kingsman Lindsay oh okay so I think you'd like it attached to the chip is a bunch of these like probes but they're they're threads okay they're not like like the the stuff that people buy today which is super expensive and brutal it would be like a spike that goes into your brain and instead they have these threads so there are actually a tenth of the width of a human hair and they go in and each one of them has electrodes in it and so it can receive signals from multiple neurons and then all those stars are connected to that chip that chip then communicates wirelessly to a wearable that you put on your ear which in turn is connected by a bluetooth to your smartphone I must be getting old because this makes me very uncomfortable oh that's so cool and so you can actually wear more than one of these so normally this like the the state of the art that they use before like that spike you just get one and it'd be like super invasive and everything yeah but these because they're less invasive they could put they want to aim for about four but you can put up to ten in different brain centers around your head and your hair can just grow back over them and there's no cords coming from use of it they're super discreet yeah and the thing that super cool is they've made this robot to do the surgery to put it on because those threads are so fine and small smaller than a human hair this robot with this tiny tiny needle and this machine vision which can detect where you're like brain your arteries are and veins in your brain where the blood is it can avoid those so it doesn't cause hemorrhaging and it can it can just insert these threads at different places and there's like a thousand threads with like three thousand electro DS oh and it doesn't like in an hour crazy yeah so I'm super surprised that they apparently have a product that they apparently are gonna be trying on humans by apparently the end of 2020 they tested it on a monkey that was able to control a computer with its brain according to mr. musk that's not far-fetched because there's videos of monkeys controlling computer the brains like 12 years ago right but it just means that their system like does something at the very least it's not just you know a Kickstarter yeah here's a really thin thread we imagine at some point in the future it'll detect neural activity but for now it's just drilled into your brain yeah I think they have like the far most experts they have a lot of young people a lot of people that video look like they're under 30 interesting speaking of a lot of young people a lot of young people are getting off Facebook okay last one though because I gotta go oh this is last one that we highlighted at the beginning oh yeah so I wanted to make sure we got through those we're not doing the Samsung Graham thing um all right so this was posted on the forum by flu fur thanks flu fur love that name US regulators have approved a record five billion dollar fine on Facebook to settle an investigation into data privacy violations related to allegations that political consultancy camera generally they can't properly obtain the date of updating seven million Facebook users the sum amounts to around a quarter of the company's yearly profit the investigation focused on whether Facebook had violated a twenty eleven agreement under which it was required to clearly notify users and gain express consent to share their data if confirmed it would be the largest fine ever levied by the FTC on a tech but it still needs to be finalized by the Justice Department Civil Division and it's unclear how long this may take investors responded positively to the news : this is the most interesting part yeah you'd think that the news of being like hey you're gonna get fined five billion dollars would make your stock price go down but actually it made it go up 1.8% which totally makes sense because they knew that this fine is coming down the pike for a long time yeah but you didn't know how much it was gonna be but Facebook did think that it was gonna be in the neighborhood of five billion and Facebook did put apparently almost enough almost all that aside so the reason the stock price would go up is because now there's less uncertainty right we don't know what additional measures an oversight might be placed on the company or Mark Zuckerberg himself but I think what everyone wants to know is where does the money go like does everyone who had their information sold you know we could get compensated for it apparently in cases like this it's that people affected don't get compensated the agency that does the investigation isn't even the one who gets the money usually it just goes to the the US Treasury for for general use so build a wall yeah it just goes into the coffers yeah sure do you think that some people think that this is not enough money it's a slap on the wrist it's not enough to make a dent or make them care it is 20 percent of a year's profits not gross revenue profits yeah so I actually I have a bit of a different take on that I think that a fine of 20 percent of a company's profit for the year is much more than a slap on the wrist I mean I think it's very easy for people to say well Facebook doesn't care because they're gonna make four times that much this year but I mean if I told you that you know you did a really bad thing driving that bar over the speed limit I'm fining you a quarter of your salary for the year you'd probably be pretty bummed yeah the other part of it is they have competitors all their competitors are you know everyone's making as much as I can and allocating as much as I can to the future to grow more in the future so if you didn't plan for that 20 percent that inhibits your ability to grow as you wanted to and then gives your competitor as a leg up and the other thing to remember is that this is just one country that has assessed this 20% of Facebook's global annual profit fine there's nothing to say that they won't get hit by and you know what this Cambridge analytical one specifically maybe not but there's nothing to say that in the event of some kind of a scandal like this that they won't get hit then by the EU and then by Canada then by someone else and at the end of the day you know yeah Facebook is gonna continue to make a lot of money and ton of money but I I don't personally buy that 20% of your annual profit is and is like a slap on the wrist if we got like okay if we got fined 20% of our annual profit I can tell you as a business owner that would sting that would affect our budgeting that would affect our future plans on our expansion our growth especially because this is sort of a Pandora's box now that I've been fined five billion dollars once I'm certainly at that amount twenty percent of my profit I am certainly trying to figure out how to not get hit by that next year hmm so if people are saying look this is not a deterrent I think that's hogwash you think Facebook wants 20 percent of their profit wiped out every year that's not gonna help their stock price I think it's interesting that you know given that a just goes to the US Treasury for general use it almost gives the government an incentive to make these fines go through that's kind of weird yeah government finds our fascinating thing I mean that's another thing too is like for me as Facebook I have a lot of uncertainty now it's like on the one hand yeah you guys done goofed but you know they've done a lot of other really stupid stuff over the last couple of years too so I'm kind of sitting there going out crap now that their scent of blood is in the water what else are they coming after US foreign model defines me like if I'm a facebook investor this news does not make me want to spend 1.8% more on pictures especially because facebook is such a public target I'm then again like I I have to confess I haven't been following this that closely you know maybe there's something in this settlement that says the FTC isn't gonna go after them for anything else but like I don't know exactly I don't know but it's not confidence-inspiring for me and I think it's I think it's sort of ridiculous to think that Facebook would just shrug this one off I agree could be wrong super tots yeah super chat good reminder thank you Chris nerdy timber Jonas garibay Freddy Gary sing me what are you doing see in a week dude the grout the gravel ER yeah yeah Matt Trinidad demon Gary sing Rocky Gregory oops too much it's a shame Gregory Ethan Lucy William McKay Ord have looted yes would you get
