I thought we were so on time we're not yeah we're not quite on time we're closer than we have been for the last like three weeks since we've been like half an hour yes okay in my defense this week you came from a different country I was in France yeah for three days yeah and I am jet-lagged as hell so I had a brilliant idea on this trip I was like hmm I'm flying out for France on Sunday afternoon so like a 1 1 p.m. flight it's about I don't know 9 and a half hour flight or something like that it's like 9 and a half hours there 11 hours back or something like that sure so I'm flying out for 9 hours so that'll make it nighttime home when I get there but it'll be about 8 a.m. France time so I only have one day where I have any kind of work obligation to our sponsor so here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna land in the morning see if I can get early check-in I'm going to sleep away the entire day I'm gonna stay up all night and then I'm gonna pull effectively an all-nighter to stay up the day of France time and then go to sleep in like the morning of home time and then pull like another all-nighter effectively doing two nights of sleep over three days and stay awake on the whole flight home and then collapse in my bed around four hours after my flight land so I did manage to get as far as collapsing in my bed when I got home but even the nine and a half hour sleep that I got was not enough to and while I was on this trip don't tell our sponsor but during the keynote I passed the crap by you across the world okay okay I have a few things to say the front No okay but I'm in the front of the next section Oh boom there was a fair bit of foot traffic look no one noticed Colton propped me up oh he had his own problems he like threw up so many times he had it he had a bad nick McBay goal or something I think I'm not sure what it was I'm not actually blaming McDonald's okay but that McBay gold didn't look good anyway I'm not actually blaming McDonald's but the McBay go over there looks disgusting sorry I'm not actually blaming McDonald's um they've been making bagel do we have a McBaine oh no they actually apparently test a lot of stuff in France because French people apparently eat a lot of McDonald's which is I mean they're known for like they're like haute cuisine food culture and yeah McDonald's chez McDo apparently big deal um anyway um where was I going with this okay no shut up in my defense okay the things that I was actually there for was to livestream during the event which we told them wasn't going to work okay and it didn't they were like no we're gonna have like your own Wi-Fi and it'll be fine and I was like that's not gonna help but we're gonna humor you and it cut out like five times in 20 minutes yeah and we were like were done now and then I was also there to participate in like a photo challenge slash fan meetup in Paris right I saw that part yeah and sought stay awake for that yeah I was okay we actually had a wonderful lunch with some of our amazing French fans okay actually it was it was awesome because we were supposed to eat at the same restaurant as everyone else but then there weren't enough seats for our fans so we were like well I think we're gonna have to just peace and we're gonna go somewhere else and one of the guys who is gonna be a total inside joke but I'm gonna refer to him as French Alex P okay yeah he picked this amazing restaurant like more French oh yes okay okay I'm sure Rose yeah well no cuz because he's Canadian French that's different than French French is it not different it would French he says it's different see um so I'm gonna describe him as French Alex P okay so anyway he picks this amazing restaurant I have the most amazing steak the most amazing dessert like the most amazing bread just everything's amazing we had an amazing lunch was awesome for it do you have a for people in France France France what is it where was it I don't know okay yes sorry I'm not good at these things um but it was awesome cooze awesome you can never experience it cuz I can't we just like hung out just like bro doubt fur and shouldn't say bro doubt we actually had a mix so we've had gear so we hung out for like 90 minutes or something like that had a really nice relaxing lunch then we went over to the keynote and the other thing okay so the other thing is the sponsor the other sponsor obligation was that we had a video that went up around the time of the keynote yeah except that we had pre-recorded that because they're super smart like one plus and they just sent us its honored so they just sent us the thing ahead of time so we could record it before we got there which is like brilliant so while we were over there it was supposed to be pretty chill now I chilled out a little hard I don't think they were expecting me to pass out in the audience but again in my defense it was pretty long just like he's like yeah okay so here's the things we've like still got to do and we got to get we got to get you out of here man cuz you are like not looking good like I get to this point of tired where I actually get kind of giddy and like I sick start to say stuff that's like really kind of stupid you've probably encountered it before yeah so I actually you know what I was probably getting to that point when we were talking about our restaurant concept yeah that's I was to do certain degree okay so that was me everyone starts laughing at weird stuff when they get super tired so that was my headspace when I was meeting the President of Honor fortunately it was just a quick photo op and I didn't have to try to say anything intelligent I'd have been like okay I know mate mobile phones great business good idea keep doing that but do I ever have a pitch for you okay a restaurant where the menu is I still think it's a game okay so you go with your friends okay we've actually worked out the concept pretty well man yeah yeah I order like a protein and a salad okay you order or protein in like a green sure a protein and a green sure I'll go with like a protein and a and a soda everything's cheap everything's like five bucks oh yeah four dollars or something like that totally unreasonable yeah so like you know every once in a while your protein it's gonna be a freakin tomahawk steak oh yeah and then every once in a while it's good to be a hot rod does like 50 cent pepperoni sticks to leave in the gas station yeah you might get that you'll probably usually get bad it's like junk junk junk that's okay I only spent order like for loot boxes or something cuz maybe you'll get one that's good you might also get four hot rods did we make it for hot rod for like for hot rods and a pickle but hey yeah if you had an experience the fun was in the excitement of opening up your loot box to dinner yeah you know I actually liked the concept though oh man like beverages beverages like here's tomato here's tomato paste and apple juice oh I guess you should get another one then that's a like an apple juice with Caesar like things inside it like bacon and celery and like pepper look that is apparently a sales pitch hey it's fun because you don't know what's coming people buy these things yeah I don't make the rules here few people yeah and the best part is you would totally get put out of business oh yeah nobody would stand for that no and then what I love about this is like honestly I'm gonna be wildly successful for like two months I'd be kind of tempted to do it just to make a point if this isn't acceptable in food if gambling is not okay for a restaurant then why is it okay in gaming huh just as like a form of protest like how much would it actually cost us if there's John a family's there's got to be a place where you can do pop-up restaurants there's gonna be I mean there used to be a Quiznos like in my neighborhood that's just like still set up Luke blue box for consumed which I don't know what combination this one's six mustards pepperoni it's basically liquid have or it's like a build-your-own sandwich but you have to loot box all the ingredients I know right so you like loot boxed your bread and then you loot box all your meats and your greens and your sauces I mean he just like figure out what you get at the end oh my goodness well yeah there's got to be some form of place where you can do like oh uh your your restaurant failed I'll take over your lease for like a few months all right it's not permanent yeah exactly honestly I think that I think it's even though the subway idea oh I didn't want to tell people about that but they don't know okay sure sure sure I don't want that's yeah that's all I want to go into it with that okay okay but like oh oh no no no no no that's not it's not like close enough to reality maybe on Friday wait hold on let me see if I understand you correctly Oh oh no no okay okay but I mean like using the time of that concept Oh like the issue is how much work you would have to do to prepare to like open a restaurant cuz like you'd have to actually work on the menu you'd have to stock a kitchen of very unconventional things that yes you would have to work on the menu though oh just loot boxes well yeah okay you'd have to have an internal menu though and then you'd have to have like a dice system there's well there's two different ways to do that there's the sandwich you loot box a sandwich ingredients or whatever I don't know maybe yeah I'm not sure which one people wanted at LTX no no no no we actually want lb X's food options good to be as good as they possibly can be yeah are we doing food trucks again um so okay because we're gonna be at the Vancouver Convention Center there's like they're just like always there and it's downtown there is gonna be food inside the convention and I think for influencers for creators because we have like like a bundle that are like interested in coming I'm so excited yeah but for influencers we have to have them catered by the venue but then other than that I don't think there's any obligation for people to buy food at the venue which is really cool totally different from last year yeah where there just really weren't any options yeah and I have a really exciting LTX update believe it or not I have no idea cuz I'm just generally excited for it yes so there's a new update in the blog that's cool okay okay okay okay okay so just first look first look at some of the booths that we have planned for this year tech experiences we're going to do a performance versus cost test zone so what we're gonna do is ahead of the show we're gonna do a video on like $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,500 $5,000 gaming machines and we'll go wolf spec out the best thing we can box peripherals monitor boom here's the gaming experience per dollar then we're gonna load all the same games up on them and you can actually float around so if you were trying to decide how much money do I want to spend to become a member of the PC master-race you could just kind of go oh well I want kind of somewhere in between here and you can go in like it may be a decision yeah so are you guys gonna have monitor differences there is that bundled into the thing just like I won 40 versus 60 yes and it will affect the entire gaming experience but that was sort of the best bet we had for how to do it because the thing is that even on like a $500 box if you had $1,000 monitor with g-sync that has really really like a really wide variable or refresh rate window and stuff it's gonna make it seem better than it is yeah versus if you were playing on the kind of monitor you would typically have on a rig like that yeah so we want to make sure that we're representing every price point completely yeah so that's amazing the monitor you should probably have at that price point we'll be with it that's very um headphone testing zone so a lot of people ask well should I get closed or open backed and that's gonna be the main thing here is I I think we're trying to get a headphone brand to sponsor it so it would all be like options from the same brand but just to test in a crowded environment you can still get a range of styles active noise-cancelling versus just passive noise isolation versus open backed so that you can really try it out for yourself and playing games cuz like a lot of the time even if you go to trade shows if you go to like a headphone booth they don't have any it's all music lots of people use like audiophile headphones for gaming because they're smart and so those smart people can now make a more educated decision yeah zer do lots of VR so the VR booth is going to be something like four or five times the size good and it's gonna have it between a dozen and 15 headsets that's awesome last year we had three for reference so it's not enough no yeah so this is gonna be way better I'd also love to have some different experiences lined up so that like a couple the rigs are like it's this game you play head-to-head with your buddy that'd be awesome yeah honestly I think I always forget the name of it but it's like holo arena or something I think it's 3 V 3 having not able to be set up but really cool I haven't tried that I don't remember the name of it it's I always free I always forget the name of it on my show I don't know why but it's a really good game and a vehicle experience ah VR car C car race maybe okay so here's what we have planned for this I'm not sure if we're gonna end up being able to make it work in VR actually but you're familiar with like drone racing right yeah so those low latency wireless camera systems that they use for drone racing yeah there is no real reason why you wouldn't be able to do that on an RC car so the idea here is that we want to build with like jumps and everything like a 50 foot by 50 foot course that you then get into a virtual cockpit and like so cool drive on oh my so everyone watching will be just watching these little cars going around on the track but actually you'll be sitting and you'll be sitting in the front and it's gonna feel so interesting because are we doing like the actual I'd like to I don't think we're gonna go full-on like Oh bot Oh like racing thing but as long as you've got like kind of a fixed chair one of these countries I'd love to make it work with pedals as well and a wheel yeah like as long as you've got a wheel pedals and at least a chair that feels kind of like this yes going over one of those jumps and stuff and like ramming someone else yeah it's me while I think it's gonna be pretty cool so that's something that we want to do figure out as a video ahead of time yeah and then go from there cool um an escape room maybe there I think there's like a local escape room company that wants to set up like a custom escape room experience for us cool BS mods TVD but they're maniacs so like whatever it is it's gonna be like something modding and cool oh we're gonna bring back the workshop concept in full force awesome so not there's only CPU D living um you do need to sign a waiver for that one we're not taking responsibility I dia but that was a much bigger hit last year than we thought so many people showed up with CPUs so that they could deal it in a supervised environment I had people talking about how they wanted to go to the event just cuz they were too scared of doing it on their own and there's nothing wrong with that that totally makes sense the first time you've ever done it and check this out Steve from gamers Nexus who I guess is now outed as someone who is coming came up with the idea of us doing a GPU disassembly and repainting workshop you can actually lower your temperatures on your GPU by a pretty significant margin which he's done a lot of videos on and the problem is that pretty much every GPU comes apart and goes back together a little bit differently and has its own intricacies so having somewhere where you can do this because it takes a couple hours if you've never done it before in a supervised environment with someone that you trust there you know what there's still a chance that something will go wrong but the odds are much slimmer and so hey if you want to if you want to learn how if for no reason other than to just learn how and know your hardware better is this another bring your own situation oh yes we should probably do the waiver thing for anything that people bring their own of yes duly noted yeah PC building workshop the complete process so we want 10 to 15 stations set up with a teacher and a few helpers to guide people through so we're probably gonna lean on our community members actually just go and show description' volunteers we are gonna take volunteers I'm not sure exactly how we're gonna handle the volunteer nosov it that's something that Colton and staff are figuring out challenges there's actually there's gonna be so much cool stuff and Lt I'm like really excited I actually went through it was on this laptop and I did I did up oh here it is here's the folder I did up concepts for like what I want a bunch of the go legal way hey we'll go away okay I did up concepts for what I want a bunch of the booths to look like oh you made these well it looks so much better in tiny thumbnail form yeah so this is this is like a stage these are just like tables for the booth this is like the cable management Oh challenge yeah yeah so it's gonna be a timed challenge I want it to look kind of crazy kind of like this anyway so I did up a bunch of these like sort of mock-ups and I'm like really really excited because we want to get away from the sort of elementary school science fair look yeah we had going on last year with just standard pipe and drape for everything stuff is still gonna be pipe and drape like the VR booth yeah you're in VR the VR booth didn't even have pipe and drape last I know so it's still getting an upgrade don't worry but so here we go what else we got there we go desk setup challenge whoever can build the sickest desk set up with the parts we provide within the time limit wins a prize so it's gonna be like you're gonna have desks chairs look knickknacks and accessories wall hangings like all kinds of things and then you basically have to like do your setup as aesthetic as you can get it snap a selfie with it and then you're entered to win a prize cool just like just fun stuff and very cool how blindfolded table management is gonna be back teams of two one person guides the other who is blindfolded and we're gonna have a ton more stations the case toss is going to be back and fairer so we are going to pallet wrap the cases so they don't get lighter over the rest of the day ah yeah that's good idea to get idea the ltte editing den think you can do it better we're gonna have stations set up with footage on them for people to edit an LTT video within a specific time frame participants will win a prize and we'll have a grand prize for whoever does it best that's cool is it like a short version of a video cuz I don't know can it'll probably be shorter rich yeah house of cards slash motherboards how high can you stack motherboards the top people for the days will win prizes probably motherboards yeah minesweeper competition will be back props to those who spent almost the entirety of last year trying to beat the records we're gonna have I'm a much expanded booth for this and even more ridiculous prizes for those who can top the leaderboards nice guess that motherboard we're gonna have a wall of painted motherboards guess a certain number of them created one you can win a prize games a retro console gaming area board game lounge area so you can just chill and stuff and of course the Dreamhack BYOC and Dreamhack free play displays system showcases sis partners enthusiasts modders we're gonna have whatever cool stuff we can get there ten years of PCs this one is gonna be fun so we're gonna build a state-of-the-art PC for every year from 2009 to 2015 like kind of the Quintus seneschal game for me here running on each one of them no I am we're just gonna hand of have them there for people to check out and enjoy so we're gonna have to hit you a pretty hard for that stuff but that's something that we're gonna do as a video ahead of time I was gonna say yeah is that one view so we're getting it'll have to be I mean look so okay the idea with LTX this year is that even if it costs us a whack of money - Media Group doesn't really do like marketing and we don't hit up like the charity streams that hard or any of those kind of typical ways of giving back to the community and so the way that I see it here is that LTX is sort of our chance to just go you know what community let's just put on like a giant party yeah so I'm sort of past making money on it at this point cool if we can make money on it in the future hey great like obviously this is I'm running a business here that's not a bad thing I'm not gonna say no no please no money but like this is like a sort of like a loss leader this year the intention is if you show up at LTX we're gonna have done our darndest to make it freakin awesome a crazy fun experience you know I'm not gonna say money is no object but there is I'm probably gonna end up spending about a quarter million dollars on it so like it's not gonna be cheap let's have a lot of fun I don't expect to get that back okay I hope to get some of it but this is like in the in the past years I think we we we held back a little bit because we were trying to we're trying to do our usual thing and like everything sustainable if we if we need to have a breakout year this is probably the year to do it I think so teaming with Dreamhack moving to a bigger venue a bunch of creators saw it last year and want to come back yeah this is this is probably the time and you know what if we kind of go well that was crazy and like people didn't even care that much oops and then we can always dial it back for the next year and do a smaller more intimate thing or whatever like LTX and you might you might even certain booths like maybe we need to double the VR booth again or maybe it needs to be half this or whatever but we can like adjust from there there isn't that many conventions that I know of at least where the convention hosts are setting up a whole bunch of the booths usually they like to get other people to pay them to put booths it's because it's really expensive yeah yeah the issue for us though is that we we are gonna have some partner stuff there like we've already got some PC manufacturers that are gonna pay to be there but it's not a lot just real talk guys like it's not a lot it doesn't really make a dent and it's we don't want it to be all about that anyway we want it to be fun for the community first and then making money second and Colton's like Colton's like okay the fuel in the back that's a big reversal reversal of direction cuz the first two years I was like look the plan is to make this thing sustainable and and like you know build it build it slow roll out Colton you have something to say you can you can come on here and you can come on here and say it the microphones over here so so Colton and staff are on point for LTX this year I'm hyping it pretty good here so like awesome it has to be amazing it's gonna be sick but it will be it's gonna be sick we're like giving it our all like actually maybe not at all we're giving it a lot of us a lot yeah yeah like go big or go home like legitimately like actually like the venue is how big is the venue again it's like say 80,000 square feet that well that were taking yeah yeah and we're gonna dream it yeah we actually expanded it we actually had initially like a this is like already like double the size of last year and then inline so today he's like no no we need more we need more look on his knee Vaughn's face when I was in that meeting cuz just like there's another ballroom right yeah book it well I'm not sure if Dreamhack is down for that book it just do it book it just do it yeah it's just good I don't I don't I don't want it to be like I don't want people to walk in and feel like they didn't try that hard you don't want to necessarily have completely blown the bank but you don't want there to have been compromises yeah I mean the thing is like I feel like people really enjoyed the last ones but it was mostly from just like an engaging with us as a community perspective and I just I felt like we can do more yeah exactly there should be more elements to it like it's not just an upgrade I want people's one pluses not to be bored yeah and that's that's a tough thing to do when it's just like when the main attraction is like hanging out with the LMG crew and the floatplane crew as it were I'm talking about looking video like oh I loved you in this video and their Plus Ones like what Oh voice Scott we're in sandals what is this so yeah it smell good did you go through the whole thing already not yet actually I haven't even talked about one of the things that Luke is gonna like make over so it looks like there's a chance and we basically when when this guy reached out this guy's vintage PC collection is nuts like go check his channel out I was I was like point is his vintage piece inflection is insane and as soon as this guy reached out I was like Colton you cover this man's travel you cover this man's transportation for collision props to him he's like I'll bring everything I'm gonna bring all of it everything the guy's got like so many different pieces and stuff like that so so just even just looking at his channel just the thumbnails on his channel it's like oh wow yeah so so so basically we've just kind of gone okay here's like thousands of dollars worth of booth space here's thousands of dollars worth of expense transporting all the stuff we don't even care just just just do it come on up here like it we want it to be really really community driven really collaborative really excited um which is really cool the CNC demo is not confirmed yet but we might have someone with a CNC machine at the venue to actually see and see stuff like for people that's cool for attendees now that might not be free that might be something that you have to pay 10 bucks for a box for I need to be small or whatever it would have to be small things but just what right yeah if you want something cool to get signed because a lot of people are one like what should I bring a piece of paper that's kind of boring like what do I get to get signed yeah Dreamhack indie dev sone sized TBD but there's lots of Vancouver based indie devs charity silent auction so we're gonna find a bunch of cool stuff from the warehouse and do a like probably BC Children's Hospital or Extra Life or something like that where's Luke scavenger hunt it'll be more organized this time okay creator Meetup area so there will be a dedicated space where creators can get into and out of it discreetly that was a big problem last year is like when we had a schedule time for people to hang out be like that's a problem it like every swarmed on the way - yeah formed on the way from you can't get through the door to main stage merch impromptu events and more to calm what a blog posts I can't tell you guys what anger when tickets are going on sale yet we're still working out things like the revenue split with Dreamhack which as you can imagine is a little bit complicated because we have sort of different visions for exactly you know what it is like we're coming together from like the perspective of like we really want to work together and we're gonna make this work but like we are very different organisations with very different goals so there's just there's some there's some things to figure out but like both our team and their team are super dedicated to just making it happen and it could be one of those things where after this year we might go yeah you know what that didn't really work that great but that's not what we want we're trying to build this as a sustainable thing because I really cool keep this going I think Dreamhack adds a lot of street cred there are a lot of value to the event yeah and they feel like we add a lot of street cred and a lot of value to the event so like and like it's it's such a really cool combo in terms of like mixing the pieces because there's different there's lands that have like a hardware focus but it's not really the same and yeah and there's well there isn't actually really hardware conventions but we did that sort of but it didn't have the other side there's creator focused if there's also that there's Hardware focused ones there's blaming focus ones there's LAN party focused ones but us plus Dreamhack kind of bring we hope we hope that's what we're gonna try and do yeah and you won't lose that hardware focus because a lot of these events like like original paksas I remember one of the first paksas I went to one entire wall of the convention was all Nvidia the whole thing they rented out the entire wall like if Nvidia shows up yeah the the hardware focus is like gone so it's cool that we have another one of those two I don't know I'm super excited we'll LTX 2019 be live-streamed colton we got Hyrum Wow why don't we why don't we roll the intro cuz we never did that sometime like over half an hour into the street whatever minor I wasn't sure I never know which we can talk about that there will be a thing it'll be a thing okay we'll figure out how this split is like actually super complicated it'll be a thing we'll figure it out okay yes there will be some kind of live streaming option now I can't promise that we're gonna have like a live feed of following me the whole time or like a live feed following around every single creator the whole time with like eight different you know l TX 1 l TX 2 l TX like be realistic so there will be there will be hopefully a live stream of the vast majority of the stage stuff and then I believe we are intending to broadcast the land show live from l TX and that one will be available to everyone but it is probable highly probable that things like panels will be limited to people with a virtual ticket similar to what's been done at other kinds of events in the past again we are putting a lot of money into this and we we don't expect all of it back but we also we don't like just putting it in a fire for lols so don't explain how the virtual ticket will work we don't know that yet okay yeah it's I mean you know we have a really close partnership with floatplane media so there's a strong possibility that it'll have something to do with floatplane yeah yeah I guess I guess it's it's not all like in writing yet so no so we can't get into too many details we're gonna work it out with we're gonna work it out with floatplane media those guys I mean they're not like Dreamhack we're like we really want to work with them you know they're just kind of they're just they're they're just they're they're actually like always there they're a pretty adequate video service is that what it's pretty adequate for no it's just adequate video yeah we actually own the domain adequate video service comm so I was joking to Luke that we should further for the people who like to who like to dig around in the nuts and bolts of like video players that should be like our back-end delivery and then when you go to like adequate video service calm it should just redirect to something like could you set it so it's just like a Russian Roulette of redirection it's there I don't know why oh oh speaking of that we still do need to make money in the flow plane chad is like full plane media aren't they like an indie upstart or something yeah honey hey head over to join honey dot-com / Linus and start saving today you've probably heard us talk about honey the free browser extension that helps you save money on popular sites like Amazon if you heard of Amazon before yeah I think they're there it's kinda like a jungle like sell books oh I thought Walt that's so funny I was watching this thing it was like I forget what the like 1997 like thing about Jeff Bezos and I was like oh right a bookstore anyway do you saw the one we had like a door as a desk yeah yeah yeah it's actually really good yeah I'm like the host is like that's a bit weird anyway as you shop on sites like Amazon honey automatically compares the prices of millions of sellers that carry the item that you want they even factor in shipping cost sales tax and Amazon Prime status to make sure you always get the lowest total price and the coolest thing about honey is that you don't have to pay for it it's for free they get their commission from the sellers rather than from you so head over to honey calm / - we're gonna have that linked below and check it out today next up we've got private

isn't that funny timing I think that's very funny timing very unexpected Oh edge switches to chrome and Google says you know what chromium we're just gonna block ad blockers you know it's just funny because is it Google's business serving ads online now look I don't wear a tinfoil hat but I have to say I think this is a very stunning coincidence this should be your version of while so Kyle goes to the Asian estai yeah I go to the whitest guy basically oh so if we're to believe Google about this oh yeah chats blowing up go go team Firefox if only Firefox wasn't trapped right now right what okay I used to I had a Firefox plushie thing you had a Firefox hard-on so big that sometimes we couldn't get this table to sit level yeah like if we talked about Firefox would be like what well from his side though I used it but I wasn't like Oh Firefox yeah I did like wild amounts of testing I had some like run really really enjoyable nights with Firefox but the problem came down to when it would crash so much that it was directly negatively impacting my work yeah that's where the lion was kind of drunk that's when he switched to chrome was not until like host lmg like two years in yeah and like I I stopped doing the nightly stuff on on computers that I did work stuff on which was all my computers but like I stopped doing the nightly stuff I I brought it back I started doing the consumer builds when I was like okay I can't handle this anymore but for a long time even on the nightly builds it was wrong on the right Oh on the night yeah no I know knightly but I was usually on beta yeah and what it was a long time and like magic we aren't crash every once in a blue moon yeah you're like I'm on the beta one that's fine I send in my crash report and try to be helpful and then I'll bring everything back up it's fine and people say quantum came up yeah quantum came out and I like on stream was like let's do it and switched to quantum and was like I'm really excited I'm coming back and then there that same day within a couple hours of using the browser just completely locked up and I had lost it I was like no I can't I wore so much stuff as browser based these days like so here's the thing according to Google they're doing this for do I understand this correctly improvements to security privacy performance and yeah sure to enhance user control you know what I think I think this really does help with user control whenever we want to improve user control at my company we just lock out options we just take control away so ridiculous of their same security and fryer enhancing our control of the user user should have increased control over their extension the design document says go ahead please finish that sentence and users should be able to determine what information is available to an extension and be able to control that privilege okay so this involves to achieve these goals they want to replace web requests the web request API with a new one declarative net request and the web request API is what allows browser extensions to intercept network requests so they can be blocked modified or redirected so this can cause delays in webpage loading because Chrome has to wait for the extension okay we're good fair enough so in the future web requests will only be able to read Network requests not modify them the declarative net request will allow Chrome or rather extensions to decide how to handle network requests thereby removing the mechanism used by some ad blockers so interestingly this isn't in my notes so I might get it wrong so please feel free to correct me chat if I'm wrong here but interestingly adblock plus which is the one kind of plays ball with the ad servers looks to not be affected by this change however you know what's really interesting so I love Google as much as anyone whose entire livelihood is but you know what I really don't think they actually have their users best interests at heart here no with all of that Thanks okay so the sorry the yeah go ahead biggest problem that I have with it personally is the improved security and privacy thing yeah I mean if you're gonna just if you're gonna do it just be open about it yeah that's my issue yeah and like my problem is now people are gonna think that having an ad blocker reduces your security privacy when it's like literally the other way around because the issue here is that it's not like I don't support organizations getting paid through ads absolutely work they do online hello and like I it bugs me slightly internally when people run adblock on the forum because all our ads on the forum are like as clean as you could possibly have them and it's like actually a really good experience it's like actually not a problem there's no video ones they're all groomed like everything's fine this is a P ia that we put up there's nothing funky going on with it like everything so nothing there's like promotion for like okay tech linked videos and like l TT videos and stuff like that's actually it don't click on the thread no I can click on this yes but not on a thread yeah because you're on your admin yeah I know see what's in so we've got like one new egg banner oh heavens and it's and one amazon banner at the bottom and those are all fine so like it kind of makes me say ad when people turn that off because we do need to don't even do like the top one that everyone does know a lot of people through tough ones that are like half your screen yeah yeah so like I totally understand why you want it on on some websites I know yeah ingor imager whatever has had a lot of malicious ads on their site and there are a lot of malicious ads out there that have like totally injections and like all this other like terrible stuff or that usually understand what you might attack who you are yeah like one really good one is logging your IP when you click on an image so that you can be exploited later like it's just yeah like there there are terrible things that ads do I completely understand why you would want an ad blocker I do wish it was certain websites were white listed sometimes but like saying that your security is improved by removing ad blockers is asinine because there are tons of security problems that come with malicious ads that are all over them so like if Google were to just say we're doing this because a big part of our business is serving ads online and quite frankly we think people blocking ads sucks then I'd be like okay fine honestly I can kind of get behind that this will reopen the browser wars but anyways yeah that's a good thing yeah but they're not doing that no I'll bet reopens the browser Wars anyways in other fascinating news the lawsuit against AMD for allegedly misrepresenting how many cores their processor has has been allowed to continue so those of you who remember bulldozer port bulldozer will also remember that each module had two integer processors and then one shared floating-point scheduler so basically in a traditional sense you'd have both an integer unit and a floating-point unit per core but AMD was sharing their floating-point resources between two integer units or whatever the ratio was bla bla bla bla bla bla bla anyway the point is that a lot of the time the the line between what makes an individual core and what makes to coerce has been a little bit blurry because in the old days you wouldn't have things like a shared cache between two cores but but now you do so AMD said it was going to share instruction fetch and decode stages floating-point units and the level two cache between two cores and then bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla so someone pointed out the best to come the company is saying its own integer execution pipeline qualifies as a core if only because most processor workloads emphasize integer math so that's why they figured having two integer unit made it to course even though they were sharing components that would have traditionally and indeed have continued to be seen as necessary for a single processor core so there's a class-action lawsuit that's probably not going anywhere for being honest where people are saying AMD mislead the public so calling calling it and there FX processors eight core CPUs because of the shared resources between cores and bulldozer modules the lawsuit alleges of the claim was deceptive about real-world performance the issue here is that saying how many cores a CPU has doesn't say anything about real-world performance what are you gonna go complain that an atom processor with 4 cores is deceptive about its real-world performance no it's still an atom processor and AMD bulldozer course to hear crappy cores like if you read if you looked at any benchmark ever you'd know that although for some reason AMD fanboys were like they had like this amazing blind spot it looked a little something like this look at this 2 workloads and it's really good at it happens like every time though and it's so funny because they come after me they're like oh yeah now that rise and so you're like now you're on the AMD D because you know and you're worried you were I didn't tell fanboy now you're this like no 64 it's because the situation changed yeah there's no such thing as being on a team or not on a team it's a processor get the better one who cares gets up better one uh anyway I'm probably not going anywhere the judge did reject Amy's request to dismiss the lawsuit so it'll proceed but it's not it's not going anywhere um Facebook got caught writing fake FS on reviews for the portal kind of silly apparently employees recalled leaving five star reviews on Amazon for the portal video chat device New York Times reporters notice reviews for being left by people with the same names as Facebook employees and apparently Facebook was it Facebook employees had not been as the Facebook says employees had not been instructed to leave good reviews and they are asking them to take them down so sure boy can they do anything right lately it's like having you know what else they're doing there yeah yeah messaging integration is that what you're know oh they're integrating Instagram whatsapp and facebook Messenger into one messaging service we're gonna leave them alone good idea seems like a terrible idea yeah I don't think WhatsApp users are gonna enjoy that remotely half the reason that people are on Instagram is cuz they don't want to hear from their grandma on Facebook Messenger but no you will they will be inter compatible according to tech link I think that's gonna really hurt Instagram yeah I think so dude although I guess you could probably have like non linked accounts you know but still oof that's not a great idea there's some other Facebook news apparently Zuckerberg did something terrible again I don't remember what it is though and it's not in here okay well I've had enough oh there's a reminder in here for me to read some super chats can we please get PewDiePie on floatplane it would be free marketing for you trust me we'd love we'd love to I have never even met Felix let alone pitched him coming on floatplane so yeah best of luck to you with that x-man Thank You van hunter says also my profile pic was the first PC I ever built six to seven years ago with your help I think I missed your first message hunter but thank you what else we got hunter oh hey I just wanna let you guys know I'm going after a business information system degree right now because years ago you guys created a passion in tech for me so here is 10 bucks for being awesome well thank you Drake says wife and I are thinking of coming up from the states to LTX but I need a dinner recommendation to make up for dragging her along I've seen Stephanie's post about places to visit but what would Linus do oh I am the worst person to ask about like where to go sorry oh yeah you can go to banana leaf yeah check out that banana leaf Oh what's uh what's that Thai place you really like to tie by Thai that's in sorry I'll forget it don't go to that we're doing Richmond please there's a really good place there's a really good Thai place Sallah ties really good too there okay I'd go to banana leaf though go to banana leaf get the if you like seafood the abundance of seafood and Gulai sauce or something like that I don't even like seafood if you're ambitious amazing you're in Richmond and you like barbecue go to hog shack race geek birds hello I have a new PC I'm struggling with my recording this doesn't matter what I do to bitrate it still gets choppy footage ninety nine hundred K with a ten seventy TI encoding speed yeah even even no matter what your CPU is you can't go like slowest yeah so just try it like faster very I was just because it's not working right now jumped a very fast first and then try to dial it up from there and see how it works fake Dragonite says you can always count on - to class up the show you didn't see that Sam says I tried shadow it has a long way to go I can see it being useful for cloud computing but they don't like it for gaming just yet so that's a big your mileage may vary thing down the street it was great but I do think and they acknowledge they have a lot more infrastructure to build out Jake says at least it'll be better than panic on thanks literally husband yeah that's true actually we did have we did follow through on our ball pit commitment the first year that was defeating tumblr con David says hello from Nebraska yeah if you have ever heard of it I've heard of Nebraska the chick from Big Bang Theory's from Nebraska okay yeah it's just in the Americas I'll be flying out there with the way for the for four days first two for her last two for me Brandon's turning our lights off also says my wife is used to your voice uh hassan sam says can't come to LTX but want to support wow thank you uh Sam thank you um SoCo says love the show just turned 18 two hours ago happy birthday and already having all kinds of existential crises is this what adulthood is like oh you ain't seen nothing yet wait till you turn 30 yeah and I'm sure it gets worse McKell says just wanted to say why did you open the read for God's sake back cameras like the value of my car please finish that video we have a pretty expensive car yeah what a mean apparently our roast is really good I actually haven't tried to get a bunch of people tried it nice so there's like an LT T roast that line this hasn't tried but like everyone else here okay so I opened the red to see what would happen what do you people want from me what were you really expecting a different answer oh the best part is because I forgot to do like a before thermals test I have to put it back together do a bunch of testing then take it apart again then work on measuring for blocks then put it back together again probably to like test fit then take it apart then like what percentage chance do you think it'll work at the end of it 40 I'm happy with that as long as we get content out of it at each stage along the way I think your wife is gonna murder you if we don't uh oh yeah we have uh we have to go to badminton tonight don't we what time's it start oh but we need dinner okay we go okay bye everyone bye that's fine yeah no not all right I am easier if you tell me not water oh okay
