Gadgetory

so today I don't think I could handle it right now okay I have had a fairly terrible last couple of days I have been fighting with my my tape drive backup thing that basically doesn't work on the PC properly and the guys that make it are like yeah the truth of the matter is that the driver situation from IBM on down just isn't that great on the PC and it works better on a Mac so then I've been trying to get a Mac working with ten gigabit and so I was using the MacBook Pro and thank you to it land to be clear so I was using the MacBook Pro and I ran into the road remember when I called you earlier this week yeah asking if you had the core X yeah yeah so I thought so I managed to have three external PCI Express docks for ten gigabit network cards a variety of cables and I still couldn't manage to get like I even got down to the point where I had a thunderbolt chipset that Apple hadn't specifically locked out because we don't support it yeah I managed to find one that didn't have a thunderbolt chip that was locked out so the enclosure worked on the Mac and I even managed to get a 10 gig Ethernet card with the exact same chipset that is already in use in the iMac Pro but that still doesn't work because there's some stupid beta of Mac OS that you have to like update from an older one too and then it will flash cards that are not like Mac approved to be Mac approved and then and then they just work because because the drivers are for the hardware not for like the stupid vendor ID that actually doesn't matter but with Apple it's just anthony's way of putting it I think is great it's magic numbers it's not about whether it should actually work or not it's about making sure it has the right magic number that's actually one of his theories about the the whole throttling issue with the MacBook Pro did you see this you hear about this the big thermal throttle I know yeah yeah yeah an Apple fixes it with an O a Mac OS update that they said was firmware but doesn't seem to be firmware because it doesn't fix it in Windows yeah so so it must just be like a mad number like a magic magic number detects the CPU correctly now no it doesn't behave stupidly oh good yeah yeah thank goodness for a genuine Apple approved hardware and nothing else working at all don't hear my great story and then and then I've spent the last four hours dealing with this do you think is gonna be done by the end of Wayne I hope so it's at 84% and it was that by 54 when I heard now so I think we're I think we're getting close I'm a duck out of when and just finish this is the last thing I'm waiting for I just want to run Cinebench sorry sorry everyone I'm just I'm having a rough day I just want to run Cinebench and I can't if Windows Update is sucking back 25% of the CPU in the background right I just want to know how much faster it is in last gen and I was thinking maybe I'd compare it to the surface go since that arrived today tried to livestream the surface go turns out another video project were working on which is really cool by the way basically we're given the we're given the this to Google oh but in a way that's like not just to spite them it's just we are abusing their services oh yeah I know in a way that's really cool well it turns out we're also abusing voice within the terms abusing the CPU of our router yeah so it looks like that killed our stream earlier we were we literally Oh like overloaded our router CPU and remember this is not some this isn't some wimpy BS rack-mounted road this isn't this is an edge router pro from ubiquity oh it's not some hundred thousand dollars stupid or like Cisco thing or anything like that but it is not an insubstantial piece of networking machinery I love this I love this you sit and wait for hours for it and then it's got this friendly hang just hold on for a sec you got some updates for your PC no no you had updates for my PC four hours ago minutes yeah at this point what Dennis don't hear my story I need you here from my story so I want to get up we're done this we do the intro first sure okay let's just do whatever there's tech news or some stuff next-gen and roadmap leaks also Google oh my goodness engine there's rumors about the trillion dollars boom crazy I'm hating on later Oh cuz you've got Linux fanboys in the mix - no that's FreeBSD yeah whatever um actually anyways okay so remember at the end of last stream how I revealed how I finally bought a new chair yeah uh what now so so the story of my chair is someone sat on the arm and it broke the like middle support so basically my chair was tilted like this for four years in defense of your chair that someone was very likely to break that chair yes yep yep in fairness to your chair yep I mean but to like to compensate so I was looking straight at my monitor I basically sat like this for four years and then recently went to physio and he was like wow you need a new chair you're an idiot so I did a whole bunch of research took like a month over a month for the chair to show up it's supposed to like keep you in a specific spot so that your spine is like correctly aligned it's not supposed to be super comfortable it's supposed to keep you in the right spot right it's kind of like a racing chair except not for a car so it actually makes sense for going fast on your computer yeah anyways the XP ends up the expected delivery date was August 6 you might noticed it is not that day yet I have had the chair for a while on I believe the 31st of the 30th I don't remember if it was this Monday or this Tuesday I would get some lunch I had finished a relatively major milestone you know I was like you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna reward myself with a booster juice so I decided to go outside and get some boosters as I'm working at cost as much as a meal but then you have to pay $4 yeah but I was like yeah I'm good I was it was very happy like I go I go I go walk outside as I'm walking outside I was like whoa there's a giant cardboard box in the lawn that's weird and I just keep walking and then I'm like I should probably like bring that inside just in case it's like my upstairs neighbors and I go and I look at it closer and I see Herman Miller plastered on the side of it and I'm like what they just left it on the lawn they just left it on the lawn no notification text message no notification email I had no idea I still have no idea how long it was sitting there when I moved it there was very much an impression in the grass so it had been sitting there for a while possibly all night because sometimes I don't leave my house for a while so I have no clue how long it was there super-expensive chair big logo on the side of the box just left in the front lawn for who knows how long no notification that was there nothing they didn't knock they didn't even notice they didn't nothing happened so I'm immediately pissed off I bring it inside I go get my food I come back I go to open it first of all there's like it's the worst cardboard box as the outer shell that I've like ever seen and there's there's like rips where the handles were because the guys handling it and like I don't even blame them because if you try to pick up it just rips it's just a terrible cardboard box right but I'm thinking in my head like oh it's there'll be an internal carton right no big deal I open that up nope not only is there no internal carton that is literally the entire box for the chair there's also zero packing foam or protection of any form at all in the entire box so it's just the chair just sitting rattle I was able to turn it around while it was inside the box just cuz I wanted to kind of try it out and see how it goes like it was actually the worst unboxing experience that I have ever had that same day I like opened up a box for a mouse and was like wow this is a way better experience than the ludicrously obscenely illogically expensive chair that I just bought I was so mad it's fine it like creaks when you move around it's mostly made out of plastic like it's it's really like that the ergonomic chair market is insane like it's if we want to open another business we should just make organ Amma chairs because you can just charged a billion percent on what it costs to make it yeah and everyone's just clamoring all over you because they're all generally terrible it also doesn't really feel that great like it's it's okay right but it's not that's what yeah okay so yes that seems like a really smart sale oh it's arms really in sales pitch it doesn't have to feel good it's ergonomic so it holds me in a relatively good position so I'm probably gonna end up keeping it because it'll be good for my spine okay sounds good the doctor dude says I like really need to do something about that because my spine is getting all weird because I sit like this all the time so yeah sounds good okay yeah like nurse so okay I'm probably gonna keep it except like the the base isn't foam which is kind of cool because it's breathable but they use these plastic he spring things and that's great in most areas except for where the reinforced bar is right and you can like super feel this bar but it's just under you all the time have you tried the om5 is this the we had to like an orange ey yeah we did a review of it so my problem with that was it didn't lock the new one locks well I might try that I can return my chair oh you know what you should come over maybe come over in oh holy crap they have me quoted on their website I should make sure what they're saying isn't like Linus of Linus tech tips says the om5 is the most comfortable chair they probably could have put some context around that I'm sure I did let's have a look did they link right to the time stamp don't think so I bet they do I bet they do no oh no all right well thanks for that guys yeah I'm sure I probably said that I've tried so let's turn it in what box-and-one said in the chat sorry to cut you off I actually thought about this if I returned the chair I'm wondering like like if it shows up damaged is it my fault I have all of the original packaging because it's a box so like there's really not a lot going on there like I but like who gets in trouble if the chairs damaged when it when it shows up anyway you should you should try wait Oh actually I know I don't know if the whole thing locks but the arm the arm rests lock like there's stuff baby my problem was if I sat back at all yeah I would just fall backwards so yvonne has new ones it has one of the new ones okay so you give it a shot just to make sure because I'll try one of my big problems with buying these ludicrously expensive chairs yeah as well this one's not that bad it's 450 bucks that's wavering is like you can't generally try them anywhere yeah if you're in like LA you can often go to a studio area and try them out but like I get so I had to go off of like a whole bunch at just like and buying anything like clothing clothing or economic based food or chairs like stuff that has a personal taste but yeah personalization element to it online is really tough space yeah like Yvonne ordered some flip-flops off Amazon and she just like Bieber cheaper than buying in store so that's cool so she ordered two of them yeah just assuming that one of them would be a horrible fit because because that's just the way it works and until we can until we can 3d scan our site and submit that model off to something to make sure something's gonna fit for us there's nothing we can really do but I mean I'm actually perfectly fine with them having that quote on there cuz it's still the most comfortable chair that I have and that I have tried I really like it so I don't know yeah I and like see people are people are recommending stuff in here the problem is that it doesn't it doesn't mean anything to me cuz I can't try it yeah the only reason that I'm even bringing it up is because I have the newest one at my house and you can come try it and like the only reason why I got the chair that I have now is because marques has it yeah Frank has it and I tried it at seven aces streaming area because it's his chair so I don't want this to come across wrong but I wouldn't necessarily buy something because like let's just pick one of them let's say because marques well know by surfboard that's not because it's a good surfboard because he's like he's a very like he's he's very on point with like what the coolest thing the last point was the important one was so this has the same chair and I sat in it for a while right it was like okay this is holding me in the right spot and that's the same reason why he has it he's a tall dude I believe he's slightly taller than I am and it can hold his spine in place all right so sorry to hear that anyway that was just yeah it was horrible it was weird because I opened opened a Logitech mouse yeah and a herb and Miller chair right and I expected like I expected the Logitech mouse unboxing experience to be quite good it exceeded expectations I expected the Herman Miller chair unboxing to be way too much and for me to be like this is dumb I wish they didn't do so much packaging because I could have saved some money and then it was like wow I literally don't think they could have gotten it to me if I saved any amount of money on the packaging because it wouldn't have made it or it would have been like some dude just like handing me the chair because he had to like walk it from the front rolling it yeah yeah I'm so so so annoyed give it some time and maybe Logitech will just acquire Herman Miller and then you won't have to worry about it just ladies our first topic blue yeah Logitech has acquired microphone brand blue but don't be blue I don't know you might want to be blue about it and honestly there's not gonna be much in terms of changes as far as we can tell from Logitech blog post anyway so well okay I will also give them the benefit of the doubt in the way that they have not made very noticeable very large scale alterations to any other companies of it yeah like ultimately yours oh hold on a second there have been there's been some frustration with harmony harmony harmony remotes yeah oh that's all though isn't it yeah but that doesn't mean that people didn't get kind of oh no I hear you but they might have learned from we can hope they haven't made it as far as we can tell they haven't made a lot of changes to Ultimate Ears it seems like this is kind of the thing right now though is your your Corsairs your razors and your Logitech's of the world are just scooping up any brand that kind of matters in the peripheral space like I think we are we're so we're we're on this weird trajectory right now we're over the last I'd say five so going back maybe a year or two years ago and then five years before that we saw this incredible burst in diversification in the peripheral space yeah so we went from you know like every single person was making some form of keyboard like mechanical keyboards are a great example you had what like Philco ducky I mean do you remember when Das Keyboard mattered leopold yeah so you had a handful of guys making mechanical keyboards and then you had and there was something more traditional brands that dabbled like steel series had one mechanical there - okay the 60 and the 7g and then all of a sudden you walked around a show like CES or Computex and you could find literally 50 brands josh is still relevant to you oh I like to ask people remember relevant is our is is a they're still relevant but they're not mainstream yeah they can be as relevant as they want to a vary from all number of people yeah but when you look at the definition of the word relevant it's it's relative oh so so they were more relevant before yeah they were in relative terms much more relevant than they are now when you've got brands like Corsair who you know for whom the the the monthly sales of someone like Das Keyboard would be a rounding error like that would be that that would be the samples they send out to to media when they launch a new keyboard to make sure that everyone and their dog has tried the latest and greatest Corsair and hopefully it's it's sitting in in places yeah exactly so so there's just there's this sort of relativity to to relevant this relevant Ness relevant 'ti I don't know I'm trying which brings us to our first sponsor for the show today I mean it was just such a perfect segue I kind of had to do it okay Corsairs strafe mark - keyboard which you can learn more about at the link right there it's a mechanical RGB cube Gordon is an update from the previous fan favorite strafe now with all the features you've been asking for well not all the features you've been asking for a few as me because I'm a big fan of Cherry MX browns but it comes in either Cherry MX red or Cherry MX silent switches with the Reds offerings linear smooth actuation while the silence dampened sound by 30% which is great for users who stream that's actually a big deal keyboard noise so Cherry MX silent definitely recommended for that it's got a hundred percent Andy coasting with 104 Q rollover meaning even if you type with your face all of your keystrokes will be registered thank you Luke for that demonstration it's got eight Meg's of built-in storage to allow you to take all your RGB configurations and macro customization with you anywhere you go and the top of the keyboard has a built-in USB pass-through which I actually love that's a great feature that kind of disappeared for a bit in the keyboard world and then is is back now apparently which is terrific so check it out at Corsair comm or the link in the video description oh I said the link was there but it's not it will be it will be below the video of Corsair comms that's okay simple solution yeah speaking of a simple solution Squarespace Squarespace lets

we do some tech news news about tech sure next gen NVIDIA GTX the name has apparently been settled dun-dun-duh go ahead and share my screen well I'm so surprised it'll be twenty eighty and twenty seventy that's kind of stupid I was expecting eleven eighty and 1170 we're gonna win the day but I guess Nvidia is kind of going well the rate at which we release new generations of graphics cards has significantly slowed down so in order for us to keep having numbers go up at a nice you know nice good take here we're gonna have to chill out on the just increasing the second digit kind of thing yeah I think they're going with like if you if you increase the first digit instead of this where are we reading from digit so we had two seven eighty and then we skipped 800 series because I don't know it's unlucky or something who knows and then we had the nine series and then we had the ten series and now we get the twenty so when we so when we go 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 do we get the 100 series yes but then do we get the 200 series and then are we back to the 200 series that's gonna be confusing so Anna like 20 years or so Nvidia is gonna have to watch out for that train coming down the tracks pretty slowly and won't happen for a while but that could happen eventually well cuz we had a 200 series already but that was a digit 200 series this would be the 200 and 280 series the 2,000 gtx 2080 you think they might just end up almost dumping that version and go like GTX like alpha one oh no Mike alpha two or they could go straight to 300 because we never had a 300 series anyway manly technologies and Nvidia 800 series was used in like mobile and stuff yes like om only or some manly technologies a vendor for NVIDIA GeForce GPU is just registered an ECC certificate with the name GTX 2070 and 2080 included in the mix the GPU chips also contain G a 104 and G a 104 400 both of which should be ampere based going by the code name so if you guys I don't know if you guys ever noticed this but the second letter of an NVIDIA code name is the architecture so GP would be g4s Pascal and then GF would be geforce Fermi so G a should be geforce and peer 104 means that once again we are getting not a big chip yeah so 102 or 100 will be big chips I forget how it works what's the thing when when they had to spin it twice I can't remember what was what was 580 GTX 580 you had to spin it twice yeah so GF 110 ah crap a camera I can't remember I can't remember but there's there's one aspect of a code name that tells you if they had to if the first run was good enough or if they had just vinegar oh it's not it's not terribly important so it's a real certification but it is also still possible that the companies using placeholder names in the actual nomenclature is something else although we are so close to when it is rumored to be announced at Gamescom which starts on August 21st that it is hard to imagine that they're planning to do a switcheroo at the last minute I'm with that said I have seen packaging on NVIDIA cards come in with like stickers over top of old names and sometimes Nvidia will will go so far to throw the industry for a loop that they will legitimately charge their customers so not like you the end-user but customers like EVGA they will literally charge their customers one price and then the day of the launch announced that it's a completely different price and just issue a rebate after the fact they have actually done that yeah so those guys are like I actually I mean I've said this to enough people at Nvidia's faces that I don't feel like I'm talking behind their back but enough with the cloak-and-dagger bullcrap you guys just just just just release them release the product okay just just chill it's just a graphics card on boys like this is not no - we're sending people to the moon no Mars Titan okay you do the next topic I think I'm not even I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction gosh there's a super long topic about a UK committee trying to battle fake news that I don't even want to talk about it oh boy battling fake means a levy on social media Wow so this is kind of like via do you remember that law we're gonna talk okay let's do it well I was gonna talk about the levy on blank CD's that we have here in Canada what you don't know about this no yeah when you buy a blank CD it comes with like I don't know it's like a couple cents or something like that but basically it's steal that fund it's to fund pyres funding by Canadian government yard oh my god yeah I know it's - theoretically - to fund anti-piracy measures or reimburse organizations that lost money due to piracy or whatever interesting because obviously you know iTunes and Spotify weren't a better long-term solution than charging a levy on blank CDs so so what they're proposing is a principle based is print sorry principle based recommendations designed to be sufficiently adaptive to deal with fast-moving technological defensible based recommendations from the government literally buzzwords what so it's a levy on social media and tech giants to fund expanding a major investment in the UK's data watchdog so the body is able to attract an employee more technically field engineers who can analyze current technologies and have the capacity to predict future technologies okay I mean so it's not like there aren't precedents for this this is similar to the way in which the banking sector pays for the upkeep of the financial conduct authority there's a code for advertising through social media during election periods limits to the most amount of money an individual can donate and a major increase in the maximum fine blah blah blah blah blah blah okay so yeah there's gonna be some interesting laws over the next little bit sorry throw up a little numb out there yeah and I was trying to hold it in so that the poor headphone users at home didn't have to have burp sound like I mean they ended up with it was like really I didn't expect it to be so loud yeah it was very it was as unpleasant to feel accounts for you can't reproduce it yeah Intel had some roadmap leaps which ironically are over on video cards calm until doesn't make video cards at least not yet maybe that'll be their new for a it is the Herod Roger cannery well okay you just got rekt no no yeah okay hold on dedicated colors the red it's not a card is that it is candy Oh actually yeah I was just having some fun with him they're actually making a physical like PCIe card that's the plan yeah this is a word on the street okay like it's not on a road map anyways I knew I knew they brought him on to help with the like oh we're gonna have your like AMD or sorry the Radeon group technology on CPU and we want like whoa no yeah no I think that I think that collaboration between Intel and Radeon technologies might if anything be more strained yeah we're like I don't think AMD was super thrilled about Raja alright do wonder how much a Raja Kaduri costs like if I wanted to hire Raja like how would that even how would that even work like how do you poach a guy like that and I wonder Worley industry legend yeah yeah yeah and I wonder what kind of like benefit style stuff you'd have to bundle in yeah you'd probably he'd probably have to like he'd probably have to have like you know like in it because you can't just be money like it'd have to be like in in like dogs you know they're like well no I don't know like there have to be some kind of like additional benefit like you'd have to have like a like a guaranteed like a staff like you're gonna have two personal assistants and this and that so it's like it's more than just money you'll have access to the the executive jet from time periods x to y you'll have this much sabbatical every two years and like like that kind of thing like I I would be really good stuff because beyond a certain point not everyone but a lot of people will stop caring at least as much about money yeah and it will take astronomically more to make it really worth their while yeah so you want to start putting in other stuff yeah you have to start building like a benefits package I've actually spent very little time with people who I would consider to be like real executives but some I did spend some time with the executive assistant of an executive at a very large tech company a little while ago I was I was at a dinner and I ended up at the table with like kind of the like the assistants and stuff yeah and honestly the Congress there was far more interesting than what I would have gotten sitting with the executives I think because it's all the like but like scuttlebutt so there they have rules like how often the executive assistant has to swap out and that position is considered like a really tough position because you actually end up doing like a lot of the executives actual work but it's considered a stepping stone because you just have all this access to other executives yeah so you get your name out there you get your name out there and so they swap like between balls everywhere you just only you have like six months to like make your mark it's more than that I think it's like two years or something like that but then you have to hire a new one and then that person goes on to it because remember that a lot of a lot of large companies have policies and programs in place where people can change jobs quite frequently within the company and it's a that's encouraged yeah just so that people won't stagnate but so that they can retain their best talent see my strategy for that is to force people to work on things that they don't want to work on so that when they're done that they get to go back to working on something that they want to work on and they can be excited to go to work just to go back to their regular job thanks guys sorry AJ almost done dude in other news here's that leak we were talking about so apparently there's some kind of new is he in chat oh that doesn't work Luke he told me it did is he lying to me because I'd love to know watching for watching for AJ keep misleading me oh boy does flow play and even exist do you even work for us that meanwhile meanwhile Luke's just been siphoning all the money yep and AJ's like what there was money flow plane what's that alright so ok ok this is this roadmap so apparently in 2018 we are a 9700 K okay according to the roadmap leak and then sometime in q3 of 2018 there's gonna be something called a 9900 K which is gonna be higher end than the existing core I nines or something someone in Chad said siphoning money to afford your chair technically I saved for four and a half years yeah by that she'd look at it that way yeah technically I've saved for ten years to replace my car so I should just run out and buy a Model X then right oh boy by that logic oh this one was like highly recommended you know it's really funny is I gonna return it I'm supposed to be shopping for cars yeah as I have made a commitment okay I was gonna say when I drove up today like when it was pink and stuff it was pretty bad you got the dick buck dick butt on the mirror or the on the back window is pretty bad it's like it's like a different level it actually looks like it has a disease I'm actually tired of it now like it's the only car that I know of that I've ever looked at that I'm like that is problematic like it's not even funny no it's just a nice heart it's too far I haven't been pulled over yet a binge of daily driving it okay you know what let's get through these leagues first so the 28 core part that Intel teased back at Computex is apparently gonna be a brand new market segment with a different chipset in socket I mean anyone who knows anything would have known that 3647 socket and then probably some kind of cut-down version of their c6 20 whatever chipsets there's gonna be a basin Falls refresh November 2018 okay glacier falls but in production later blah blah blah blah blah okay so back to the car so I have made a commitment to my wife that I will replace it by the time the next service period rolls around wins the mixer now I committed to that because my intention was to sort of just keep driving it yeah because there's gonna be an it was another 8,000 kilometers it's about 5,000 miles left before it needed to be serviced again but I'm starting to come around to getting on that a little earlier but the stupid thing is that honestly I look I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie to you guys I can afford a new car yeah obviously we you know like it and I don't even mean like brand new car like I can afford to replace that car with something better than that car probably most of you watching could afford to replace that car with something better than that car you could buy something for five hundred bucks and it would probably be better than that okay shut up be nice to my car it has served me well no no no I look it has I'm allowed to talk I'm allowed to speak bad we thought it we're not we thought it was gonna do haven't earned it we we we thought it was gonna die in 2013 yeah we were surprised it was still alive in 2013 so so anyway so so I getting pretty tired of it but my original plan was to just keep driving it until that service and then figure she'd probably have gotten used to it by then and then just keep driving it but she's not getting used to it I'm not getting used to it when you get your new car yeah [Laughter] remember how we use our I probably used to have all those ideas of like getting a computer in the trunk and having like screens on the back of the seats yes I've wanted to do that with the minivan for a while the issue is we can't find a sponsor oh yeah because we don't have the expertise to like completely rework the interior of a car to do it properly yeah and so we'd want to work we want to collaborate with like a shop that's capable of that like doing a good job of it and so there just be costs associated and since it's not the kind of thing that actually has much practical use it's not the kind of thing I just want to pay for in a pocket because it you could actually do wireless for most of it yeah like pretty much all of it but power and mounting the monitors yeah like I wouldn't want it to be janky so there there are some possibilities and I don't want to get too far into it but we have some ideas okay but what are you leaning towards a car at all so that's the thing is I'm supposed to be car shopping because I have a greed butcher and I want to I ended up spending probably a grand total of about 40 minutes car shopping okay and since then all I've been researching is motorcycles there are some super cool electric motorcycles so I've never really had any desire I know I know I know shut up I never had any desire to replace my sv650 s it's a 2003 but that's the first year that it had fuel injection okay question is I sidebar question does that baby be a good bike ah no it doesn't cuz that like wasn't a thing that blew my mind that's apparently a newer thing on bikes ABS yeah yeah yeah weird so yeah I know my bike doesn't have EVs it's pretty bare-bones but it's got the v-twin engine which I really like it's got lots of pull in the low rpm range it's it's actually especially now that I'm more used to it it's really light like it's not light compared to a dual sport or something but it's but it's it's it's light its maneuverable and it's honestly got enough power that unless you're an idiot you don't really need more than that like if you're doing anything other than going in a straight line there's not much reason to have much more power than that at least on the road like on the track the whole different story whatever talk about your favorite track bike amongst yourselves please but there's there's there's this bike called the lightning that zero-to-sixty gonna roast me about a chair the artist was like recommended by a physiotherapist because my back has problems and you want to replace your car with a bike and you already have a perfectly good bike zero to 60 in two seconds how do you stay on oh my goodness is this here so is this your midlife crises the funny thing about it is I've always joked with my wife like that I couldn't possibly have a midlife crisis because I've been midlife crisis in my whole life so so the thing that the thing about bikes is that they're cheap and bite you you're good I don't mean that $40,000 isn't a lot of money I mean that for literally the fastest bike on the planet compared to literally the fastest car on the planet but we're talking in order of magnitude difference in price yeah so for the price of like a basic minivan which I recently purchased you could have the fastest bike on the planet zero to 60 in two seconds but you can't even use it oh you can accelerate electric motors dangerous take off if your wheel spin I'd love to learn to do a wheelie that's also and the 650 yeah but on those on the road it's legal to do it elsewhere they have like they have like stunt riding courses and stuff like I'd be a lot of fun shot yeah anyway anyway so I'm supposed to be shopping for a car I have actually spent the vast majority of my time shopping for a bike now with that said so would you sell yours range on the lightning I think is like 150 200 miles also someone of the someone in the chat had a question what is the mileage or kilometers on your Lambo on the Lambo it's about 200 it's a little over two hundred and twenty thousand is just the wrong thing yeah a little over two hundred twenty thousand kilometers there you go what the crap is this you know what's great is the mobile version has the mobile version of Chrome has a thing where when you're stuck in one of these back loops where it just keeps reloading like it forwards you a few times so you can't spam click back to get back yeah on the mobile version you can tell it don't let this page bring up any more prompts but the desktop version doesn't that's lame this one's a Lambo Oh welcome to the party dude yeah sure we're talking about my Civic it's a joke it is a super limo joke yeah so this this is this is the thing I've been looking at that's a nice look and by looking at I mean drooling over don't don't look at don't look at this Wow don't look at that kind of okay see I'm just trying to remember the range yeah okay so the 20 kilowatt hour battery pack is 160 to a hundred and a hundred miles range at highway speed but there's different battery pack options so they're probably talking about this look how you knew that and the basic ya know I knew they were different better a couple of things I still don't like it's pretty heavy it's significantly heavier than mine yeah it's probably mostly in the batteries but so okay I haven't actually pitched this to the wife yet but let me let me try something out on you and see how it goes okay first I need to know though yes because this would be important for her as well for sure are you selling your bike sure I'll sell my bike I'm gonna have anywhere to keep it and are you then not replacing the car oh no I'm replace the car so your can we get this and a car okay just just shut up shut up okay she's gonna think so so pretty much everyone and their dog has been like your tech guy got a Model S that's boring okay right well that's kind it's kind of my response to that because the funny thing about the super Civic is that it's horrible but if your car is supposed to be a reflection of something about you like your car does say something about you the super Civic for better or for worse is the Linus mobile so you want something rolling right past em electric because you're super fast no no that's no no it's not that it's not that I just mean I mean it's been interesting this is a reflection of your participant in a hard for no no I'm not talking about this right now I just mean it's been hard for me to replace the super Civic for multiple reasons one I hate car shopping yeah - it's really is such it is such a perfect fit for me not now but it was it was before it got a little - now it's too much it was the soup it was the zero FS mobile yeah super practical yeah reliable cheap cheap standard super cheap standard everything even Windows yeah that I wasn't a fan of No well the windows are okay no AC was a problem though yeah um it's getting worse I really bad heat wave recently sucked um anyway so it's been like the me mobile and it's been hard to find something that says anything about me a Model S doesn't know that's my issue with the Model S yeah the Model S says absolutely nothing about Linus Sebastian the person other than oh you're a tech guy get a Model S okay it's also really expensive it's also really expensive but but based on that everyone's telling you to buy a Model S I figure people won't be like mad if I say look I haven't replaced my car in ten years I'm getting a Model S do you think people would resent that I don't think people would be mad I don't think it works for you I think it's ludicrously expensive okay okay so so let's assume that people you know and there's no right to repair on Model S's on Tesla I've heard a lot about this recently oh right to repair on this is like like Tesla and right to repair are like not friends which this is I very recently heard about this but that's not a that's not so I'm gonna pitch something here I'm gonna pitch something here for the cost of one Model S I could get a clarity plug-in hybrid and you for the daily commute and a super bike that doesn't mean you're supposed to spend that much money it means that I could but it doesn't mean that yours and it would be the same as if I go to Model S but you shouldn't have gotten a more or less funny funny probably shouldn't do that okay I want to hear from twitch chat I need a second opinion of course they're going I need a second opinion second opinion okay okay people are like mkbhd you got a Model S that makes a lot of sense don't know about Linus okay I could borrow my counter superbike means midlife crisis dude dude what okay Vaughan can I pitch you something this is really important okay so so okay we need a straw poll no no you got it can you can you stop pull it up okay so no no no no no she can just she can come she can come sit with me we're we're we're good friends here you guys hang out sometime we can we're not afraid of a little bit of physical contact made pretty babies you know okay ow all the keys in my pocket are killing my thigh you're why are you still so bad at this what killing my killing my lap actually I also have like keyboard in my pocket okay I need to I need to reach the thing okay so I'm gonna go question I run something by you get it or don't get it because okay so Model S costs okay so the Model S costs uh why is it why don't they just put loan what what is the difference between lease and Loan that's stupid like what is what is a loan no alone I think is when you get financing Oh financing why don't we just say financing well that is what that means okay so a Model S is anywhere from okay the federal tax credit this is us oh crap okay well whatever it's about eighty five thousand Canadian plus whatever I mean I would there's no way I wouldn't get the autopilot upgrade and stuff like that so let's say about eighty to ninety thousand Canadian okay so would I be allowed to get a more or less okay so would I be allowed to get one I don't know it just has to make sense okay but could I could I make some kind of argument that that would make sense no not actually okay why because it's not practical it's not really sheet seven it's not really you see seven a minivan seats how many people and cost a fraction of that okay yeah this much may be true okay um I mean okay so so from a practicalities at that point no okay if it was just like I really want this okay you could probably make that argue that's all I need that's all I need okay so now how about this how about a very practical car that costs half as much and a superbike that also costs half as much how about that but it's a lightning zero to sixty in two seconds two seconds does that sound like a good thing for the father of you don't want you to die we have life insurance now all right thank you I would say I should just do it anyway oh I have to go no no we all have to go actually okay I would say that I should just do it anyway but the cold hard truth is she completely controls all the money yeah I wouldn't be able to buy a hamburger without her knowing about it like it's actually a problem like I can't surprise her with a gift or anything because all the credit for the draw withdraw cash it's actually yeah but if I was through cash it would seem very unusual if it was any more than like a hundred bucks here and there like I like to carry a little bit of cash because a lot of places in Richmond only take cash yeah but that's the only reason I carry cash so unless I like flip something on Craigslist recently I don't have a tongue I don't have a ton of cash on hand so she saw like you know a few hundred dollars come out of the account should be like hey someone have your card some have you been yeah like no no well what was this what was this what's wrong because it's literally her job like actually her job every day to keep track of all the money yeah no no it's not like a control freak thing she's just literally the financial officer of both our family and our company so yeah they'd be okay well let me let me see the straw poll can I at least see the straw poll results I haven't even seen it okay what's what's a URL here it's a case sensitive oh it's pretty close hold on me / nobody got one six two yeah zero six three yeah six seven okay let's have a look here let's share the results with everybody let's get these real-time I mean I got a vote I got a vote right yeah like you know Obama got to vote for himself so I should get to vote for myself get it vote okay have a look at these these here votes here there Wow straw polls guy work on that there thing they got Wow someone in the fee someone in the building has already voted oh really did you vote yeah I voted oh did you not get to vote oh I'm sorry to hear that oh what a big bummer that is Oh bummer ah so bought it looks like you were wrong 56% of people said do it yeah so I mean this is Democratic Society um you know my might makes right quantity in numbers okay it's not the argument got a lot of people telling me to get the oddest forgetting me on the car sick like the the like moon do that popularizing this car like the first like maybe I think was on VHS I was like super in a drifting was from Japan and he was driving a true no 86 okay all right bye everybody
