honey now you want CIPS theoretically yes ready okay we're live oh man I'm gonna do the worst scariest thing in the world but is the audio okay why would you do that okay I mean strawpoll I am gonna do the worst scariest thing ever and I'm gonna promote a a fan created oh no a fan created thing here I'm posting this in the chat my friends trying to a window it automatically generates on a bingo card no no you shouldn't be looking at it because I've only seen a couple of them myself okay basically it's kind of like a like it's like a drinking game like a take a shot every time Luke laughs too loud or Linus apologizes for being late I'm sorry we're late by the way except it's bingo you don't win anything other than satisfaction and thank you we should okay fun game it's a fun game to play you go to win show bingo calm for all I know by the time people are watching the archive of this stream a little of it'll have been converted to a phishing scam so we don't do it right yeah but anyway for right now this moment it automatically like pseudo randomly generates a bingo card out of a bunch of possible things that can happen during the land show and you get to fill it out while you watch so we should in my opinion gamify watching the wine show even more than that so even more than that you can get BOTS in the chat so you should drink every time you hit one one one cell and then you should have to drink like I don't know buddy what do you have to do when you when you actually get get a row life's like skull something yeah yeah yeah totally okay okay what else do you want to get I was thinking if we if we bring a bot in that manages the chat and you can post like you should whoever made this bingo thing should make you unique identify our keys for every single person that's playing so when the bingo game is done you just post your key in chat and it takes your score from that website and actually like attaches it to your username on the LDT like lan show chat you should be able to gain scores and then every once a while you should be able to be like exclamation mark brag and it'll say what your overall score is why are people subscribing we've had a twitch subscriber two-two three-three twitch Prime subscribers and a paid subscriber since we started there no no that's the one I was talking about okay oh okay apparently Brendon Potts has been subscribed for 17 months in a row 17 months 499 times 17 actually this is not difficult math eighty five dollars you're basically a hero more twitch prime you only get half of that you only get well no I know but that doesn't that doesn't make what the heck 15 months in a row for secure is this just all coming up now because like we never dream basically yeah so because your live and now people will do their renewals because they get to post see how that's a gray yeah yeah yeah all your base are belong to us so he was able to send that message along with his subscriber renewal so that it showed up gray along with everything you know I appreciate the old memes it makes me feel less old you know anytime I see in all your days yeah or like you know ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny you know any of that kind of stuff I kind of go you know what this is great this is great I feel young right now in this moment and then I'm like oh my knee doesn't last very long yeah we got a great show for you guys today a lot of great topics actually there's some pretty crap topics yeah I will talk a little bit about meltdown inspector maybe Luke could talk a little bit about how they've affected floatplane development it's particularly sucked for us for like reasons that aren't immediately apparent but yep um with all that said we also have in our news Intel hits a 17-year high on their sales Outlook great another another new record the biggest crypto hack ever so the the Krypto lovers will be like no and the Krypto haters will be like yeah and we'll probably be somewhere in between yeah and then wow this new google app lets anyone publish a local news story that sounds like it sounds like won't be terrible at all every single thing posted there will be triple-a level content not what happened thank news it sounds like Facebook oh my god it sort of does alright let's go the intro oh my god you can read hyperlocal stories about your community right from your phone just like the local paper that we all throw away the second it lands on our clothes that because we don't care do people actually care you know what I shouldn't say that people do actually care about local news like it was cool it was cool getting in the newspaper like John really cares about like where people are from and like what they're doing now or whatever like he he's like really into like who else is a you know Duke alumnus or like from it down whatever like alumni affiliation kind of thing is much stronger in the states though yeah I don't think people care nearly as much up here you and I think that's a geographical difference to a certain degree you would I also never graduated fair I was close I went through like most of the process we got a straw poll this straw poll da mãe local news local man and like okay I went to a football game at the U of a University of Arizona and I went to a what was it a basketball game or something at UVic when I went to school there yeah and like I'm talking like Arizona school versus school and BC yeah and the the difference was astronomical the the like like the end like the atmosphere I was into it when we were in Arizona wasn't even my school and I was like this is sick there was people like giving free beer couldn't drink it pop and like burgers and hotdogs in the parking like party I basically don't even necessarily party just like come on join the family kind of situation so like barbecue yeah it was barbecue family barbecue just in the parking lot so when we're walking from our car to the stadium they're like hey do you want some stuff so my understanding is that some Canadian sports are kind of like that like the Grey Cup is supposed to be super Taylor yeah yeah it's not like that's one day a year yeah and this was a no random college game you know CFL game is like that yeah what it wasn't a championship game it was just whatever there was like a big parade with the music people I don't know what you call them again band no marching marching band the marching you're so fired I'm so fired here and like the game was amazing anytime anyone scored if it was the other team Oh everyone is all upset if it was their team the entire basketball it happens a lot yeah like that's my problem that's football that was football that was the one in America was football the one in Canada was I don't even remember cuz it didn't matter I see Stephen volleyball no offense volleyball lots of fun to play not much of a spectator sport about half the arena was empty like there was some like sponsor stuff and then I think we left like three-quarters way through cuz we were just bored it was just like so different and I could understand how it fosters like school mentality if it's mr. Nix mr. nix 1001 hell we tailgate for any reason yeah okay it's a thing fair enough and it's cool though it makes you feel a part of it and then you you you you feel a part of it the second you show up because of the tailgating okay I didn't say beach volleyball volleyball they are not the same sport at all they literally don't even have the same number of people don't take okay they don't take place in the same place yeah they don't have the same number of people on the team and one of them gets watched once every four years there you go that between volleyball and beach volleyball yeah and to be clear I'm not hating like I love anything with a net someone said what's with the tailgating is an excuse to drink in public okay yeah I guess so cuz in a lot of parts of the states that's very all right I'm gonna start banning people who post the holy crap Jen oh you need to stop you need to calm down there we go guy posted the same message like a bajillion times anyways what were we asking I don't know something but anyways yeah I understand how it facilitates the like I care about this community environment right because immediately when you show up you're taking care of in a certain degree you're you're fed right you're taking care of you're invited in just like insanity to me because like I can't imagine a situation where I would go anywhere and I would be fed by someone for no reason yeah what you like seems pretty cool like it is pretty cool yeah and it was good stuff like it 8 News yeah I don't know so local news um someone gave me a poster because I didn't have any like shirt or anything to hold so they were like here's a poster of the team so I could hold up a thing right it was cool I had in my room for a long time anyways 53% of you guessed local news and 47% of you know local news so we seem to be split right about down the middle people who care or don't care about local news mind you I mean okay if Google can capture 53% of the general population using this service then it's clear to me that there's your phone was trying to listen to you gonna be lesser gonna be lesser lesser quality local news than ever before your phones like what was that you want this happen no I guess we might as well jump into that as our first topic since we've kind of been talking about it for a while oh there you go bulletin yeah Google is what it's called so it's like a bulletin board except it's an app for contributing hyperlocal stories about your community for your community right from your phone you can put a spotlight on inspiring stories that aren't being told so basically News is dead and this is the replacement I mean this is democratization of news I mean this is something we did a piece a little while back it was not a very successful piece where I made like a streaming backpack yeah and I was like this is the future of news people just being somewhere and streaming and like this is like what I would consider to be you were I think I think the reason why that didn't work that well was you were slightly too ahead of the curve maybe well yeah but now and things have gotten better to be able to make the setup better yeah but now IRL streaming with backpacks is like a thing and it wasn't really when you made it well whatever I was trying um thought it was a cool idea so I was like okay but a step above you know just having a phone out or whatever would be building yourself like a transmission processing backpack so that you can so you can transcode to multiple destinations so that you have multiple SIM cards yeah a nice high high resolution and better audio quality camera so that the feet isn't potato level we're going back and this is just sort of it's it's just another branch down that same path where ultimately local news stations are dying this is not debatable it's not you know it's tappable I don't think this place is I'm just I'm just reading there's one line here people everywhere want to know what is going on in their backyard at a very local level ranging from local bookstore readings to high school sporting events to information about local street closures if this is curated well enough and sorted well enough because there is so many things that I will not care about yeah but also on like a Friday I might be like man what is there to do right now what am I gonna do this weekend so and if I can do like events near me I've been blown away by the number of things that go on in the community of Surrey yeah so that for example I was dropping my son off for a preschool one morning and I just saw like a sign in the foyer that was like hey we're doing a we're doing a starry night movie night Fang that's free there's face painting there's I forget what else there was but there was like some activities to do for kids and then at dusk they were gonna bring out the big blowup you know portable projector screen thing and then they just had like it looked like one of the staff just like brought their projector from home and it was fine like it was cool was fun dad speakers which is good that's plus and they played sing I'm sure they didn't have a license for it but you know yeah whatever cuz it's just a janky stupid local event that nobody even knows about anyway but that was that was the issue nobody knew about it so it was actually reasonably well attended given how difficult it was to find out about it but then I started looking into and there's like tons of stuff like that it would be cool lots to do if read aloud because like Zane I I can't pronounce his last name but Zane from daily hive Vancouver is a good curator of local stuff right okay but like a lot of people don't even know that yeah I would have no way of knowing that yeah yeah so like if he can post his awesome articles that go to daily hive and he manages people stuff into I believe a little bit we were kind of hating on it yeah and now I'm down okay okay if it's done properly okay and like one thing that I would like to is if these are able to be sourced and if the source can make money okay so it doesn't look like there's a monetization strategy but this is interesting Google is planning to work with local news organizations to help them find and potentially publish some of the stories as long as they give credit to the original authors so they've already got a strategy to to sort of propagate awareness of the bulletin app through the medium and it is ultimately going to replace that's isn't that awful I mean it's like you know it was gonna happen anyway it's just like can you imagine can you imagine this like Google walking in and pitching this to a local news organization so you know this I don't think so I don't think it works that way it just says giving credit to their authors not the platform yeah but yeah yeah let's see okay let's see yeah cuz I can picture this Google walking in and going yeah so this is great you guys you know realistically you can't lay off any more staff because there's like four people here but you know so you're not saving any money but you're like able to get more done with the money you already saved because you have no money we'll just we'll get all the local news stories for you and then you can just sit and talk about them we're gonna be like we're gonna be like local reddit except there already is local reddit so you know what we're like curated well please wait created okay it's read it the local reddit for around here is terrible yeah okay our Vancouver that's really bad that's fair okay so there you go the app is in a limited pilot in just two cities seemingly arbitrary Nashville and Oakland they're apparently both Google Fiber cities so I was just gonna say that's not that random because of Google Fiber and it also says they have high poverty rates and lie beyond the focus of the big media hubs so it's cool okay so cool neat all right all right so so Google bulletin we're down now really depends on how they do it okay I think there is absolutely the potential for me to be down and have it installed in my phone and use it quite often there's also the potential for it to be a giant steaming heap of garbage okay I did never ever use it cool it's free its lightweight for telling a story by capturing photos and is it that's it Wow okay impactful I don't know how James wrote so many notes on that good job maybe you should write for bulletin no one will pay you but all right so this is from the original sources from newsroom dot intel.com root cause of the reboot issue identified they have updated guidance for customers and partners so the saga continues with the whole meltdown Spectre thing so over the weekend they began rolling out an early version of an updated solution to the reboot issues that they reported on January 11th just so you know what what is that oh is that the quick rollout yeah interesting good job AJ yeah good job AJ sorry keep going um something something reboot issues early version make a final release available once testing is being completed but basically apologize for the disruption this changing guidance may cause the security of our product is critical I didn't tell etcetera etcetera okay let's get to our notes here Oh so as of January 11th Intel was notified that the first patch they issued for meltdown inspector vulnerabilities was causing random reboot issues it was later learned that the bug was affecting has well and Broadwell platforms and on January 22nd they made a blog post advising that OEMs cloud service providers system manufacturer software vendors and end-users stopped the deployment of current versions of the patches as they may introduce higher than higher than expected reboots and other unpredictable system behavior so let's jump into our so this was posted originally by Evan err on the forum and our next one is from vegetable stew and the original articles from PC world this is just another update on meltdown inspector let's go ahead and pull this up actually I remembered there's no point in me going over my stuff because we covered it on the first show that we covered so Intel's plan to fix meltdown in silicon apparently raises more questions than it answers so Intel has said that they plan to deploy a hardware fix so these will be silicon based changes to future products then directly address the Spector and meltdown threads threats those products will begin appearing later this year Intel's chief executive Brian krzanich told investors hmm I've assigned some of the very best minds at Intel my best people are on it the best are the best people you know what just because I didn't watch that particular episode of The Wine Show can you give me the TLDR of how oh okay so I'm affected floatplane I'm gonna forget part of it which is the technicality of exactly why this happens this way but we use a piece of software for the virtual machines and we use a version of it that's free and there's a version of it that's paid I don't remember exactly the reason why we use the other one I covered it properly last time AJ's gonna skin me alive I believe that the reason why we had to use the paid one now is that's the only one that got the update to manage this stuff I don't remember why we were able to use the free one before though yeah I think the free ones just older versions so if we want it to not be super owned by meltdown well yeah I believe it's meltdown specifically I could be wrong though I forget which one is which then we needed to upgrade that upgrade would have been at the cost of $900 per CPU like per physical CPU her physical CPU so that's kind of a little bit of a unique situation because most people are like oh no our things are vulnerable now we have to patch oh no we patched performance went way down we saw that with fortnight the game actually if you want to look at a really really cool rundown of how this has how this could potentially affect an organization check out for tonight's breakdown of how it impacted their servers it was actually really really good graphs and write up some stuff that they did but yeah our biggest issue was like hey we want to not be vulnerable so super expensive amounts of money now through a lot of brain Kijiji ring and planning and all this other kind of stuff I do not want to update now we have a plan and everything's fine and whatnot but like pill Perry says should have just used AMD okay you should breathe more there's a winch oh I believe I believe it was was it just before CES you should read more ouch okay aside from just reading more what AMD servers the that's part of the read more that I'm talking about it like we looked into this we were like hey let's just do that no not a thing what AMD servers yeah we're not building our own servers just case anyone - how many epics do you really think they've shipped most like just saying so we use OVH for floatplane people are like epic which by the way wasn't released when we began building out floatplanes infrastructure yeah one for that one up hand building every server that we use for flow plane we're essentially renting servers off the OVH which is what most people do that are using dedicated staff if they're not using the etiquette or public cloud but if they are using public cloud type situations you don't get the choice anyways yeah you use whatever validated setup which by the way someone like OVH is gonna have Hardware on the hand whether it's hard drives SSDs sometimes motherboards sometimes are really slow it no no that they're gonna have hard for upcoming for upcoming platforms we're talking three six nine months in advance if you're an important partner that's buying literally thousands upon thousands of Xeon CPUs they make sure that you've got this stuff for validation well ahead of time so to imagine for a second that epoch which launched what August in August they announced it I think some like that whatever sometime in the summer to imagine that that's that's anywhere near a for rental server it's joke I've wanted a server with one of those for awhile this isn't like a mu they're really using in tooling it's basically the only option yeah because they typically only have like here's our good better best extreme they're just gonna have a handful of validated builds and that's it and there are some more options sometimes but we need fairly specific things yeah there are exceptions like we had a data center before that would allow us to ship our own Hardware there yeah except they were just except they were terrible yeah like there's a cool feature did we ever get that server no oh they were supposed to ship it back to us those bastards it had a bunch of enterprise transitive than those enterprise drives those bastards we could be mining burst on the if we could ever finish plotting them no that's not gonna I've gotten one-and-a-half drives in that 47 Drive machine RGB plotting um no I'm not GPU plotting because I put in a GPU and it like was supposed to work right there and then it just didn't it doesn't work automatically oh okay I'll send you all have to figure it out anyway I also have a dual Xeon system that I can start plotting on as well just to import the plot file yes so I'll figure it out I'll figure it out but basically I'm doing a mining side to adventure side quest adventure where we're looking at hard drive based - it's weird it's weird it's pretty cool but it's weird it's fun I guess but Linus is evading the question are you evading the question we're doing a video all right so let me have a look at what else we got for topic one question yeah I didn't even the question yes mining yes happening I mean we're doing a whole video series around it what you guys think was going on what question was there but you whining no I said forty-seven drives I'm like mining what else would I be doing with forty-seven drives other than petabyte project which by the way I had a couple people internally telling me we should be mining on the inactive petabyte server super not an option because oh you know what I actually don't have oh no I do I do have it I do have it super not an option because check this out Oh phase one of the vault is like oh phase one of the you might want to switch the no no I just get scared no no no it's fine it's fine everything is okay extra large icons no no I hate extra large icons no I hate large icons which ones do I want uh medium icons this is the quality content at all to ensure this happened where's the where's the diversity amount what where's the just property right-click properties no no no I'm gonna gives you a fancy GUI no no no huh I refuse ah content oh that's an interesting one tiles tiles is the one so I've only got 40 terabytes left and when you factor in that Z Drive needs an offload so this is the nvme server we're gonna have like 20 terabytes left in the first stage excuse me sorry sixes Christmas um that's my girlfriend's fault though completely it's entirely her fault I was fine she came over and was like I'm not sick and then like hours later was just like coughing up a storm and I was like thanks for that no I'm no I'm sick thanks hon yeah so we're gonna have to roll out the second one very very soon yeah you don't want it so mining on hard drives is a very new frontier and there's not very much data in terms of like how bad it is for your drive or anything yeah and those are expensive drives they're like supposed to be reliable and stuff yeah speaking of crypto actually let's jump into this so the source here is coined Escom coin check confirms the reason why you should not use online exchange wallets as much as it possible so I'll tell you guys most of the crypto that I own and I do have some I bought on an exchange show them this so most of what I owned I bought on an exchange but it is not on the exchange anymore yeah and the reason for that is that while an exchange is really convenient so I actually had it on there for like a week while I was waiting for my hardware wallet yeah well in exchange is very convenient when you and when it was on there I was like oh well I'll sell some of that and I'll buy some of that and I'll do this and like actually I played it right which is there's not an indication necessarily of skill but I played it right it was that a really good time to be playing yes it was I won bigger than I lost and that worked out really well but the way to do it is you get everything off the exchange and you keep it in a hardware wallet preferably one with no online access whatsoever yeah so there are dedicated devices for that strongly recommend that you know and if you've got everything in an offline wallet then if an exchange gets hacked your crypto will not be part of the crypto that gets absconded yeah yeah Wow 58 billion yen approximately five hundred and thirty three million u.s. dollars whoo yeah the precise amount stolen may not be fully known until further checks have been carried out into the intrusion ha ha at least over 400 million sorry I'm just no it's crazy so the price of the coin which is specifically nem I'm not entirely sure which one that is because there's 10 billion different ones but nem coin the price of that went down 13% which isn't even like in the grand scheme of how fast coin values have that bad it's like an average Saturday like it's not that big of a deal so it looks like it's likely greater than the amount stolen from mount GOx in 2014 when converted at cash yeah three hundred and forty million dollars though it should be noted that given how much less crypto currencies were worth in 2014 that proportionally this is a smaller impact if you convert up mount gox's theft to what it would be valued at now yeah or especially a month ago yeah yeah so that's a thing that happened you know as usual you're gonna have people on all sides of this whole this whole crypto thing that's going on here the bottom line is this you know I don't think either of us is anti crypto are you anti crypto I recognize a lot of the bad things that are associated with it crypto as a whole I think is actually really good I don't know if your block chain technology technology yeah I don't know if you've heard what the Canadian government's planning on yeah that's super cool do you want to click so okay I only know rough details about this so I could get some of it wrong it's not a topic for this week but the Canadian government has spoken publicly about the interest of adopting blockchain technology for some of its internal spending of tax money yeah so you can see where tax money is being spent and how it's being spent that is awesome because I have said my entire life that I personally I'm gonna just show slight amounts of political alignment here but I have no area Mar what am I gonna do fire you hey I have no issue really with taxes but I would like to know what my taxes are going towards yeah it's annoying having a whole bunch of money taken from you and being like I have no idea what I just improved because it's cool to think of like I am contributing to society with this money yeah but it would be nice to be able to be like oh there it goes oh it helped to fix that road or it yeah contribute to that school that would be a lot more fulfilling X percentage of it went to federal issues why percentage of it went to local issues you know that would really give me a better idea of you know what I would want to say at a town hall meeting yes whatever else and like sure maybe some of it went towards Trudeau's lunch when he was on a trip that has to be paid for somehow I'm not gonna feel bad about that I just want to know what it's doing it'll feel cool if I can know what it's doing um mr. Nix is post in chat this is funny what but but I think both of us I both of us hold crypto I'm I'm long a couple of different currencies so take that for what it does but mister Nyx's you post here in the forum basically sums up the biggest problem with it right now Wow that's worth a hundred thousand dollars I hope you know what to do with your $47,000 if you want go ahead and spend that two hundred and three thousand dollars the volatility is real oh yeah and the lack of regulation something that gets pinched as a benefit of cryptocurrency is a huge issue it's also a huge problem yeah because there's no well there's there's no regulation you know and there's great things that come with that and there's terrible things that come with it there's terrible things that come with that there's basically no there's no laws that prevent people from manipulating this much smaller and easier to manipulate market and oh damn has it happened yeah what I mean there was that recent example where it was a bit which ones the bad one that connect gold oh boulder cash which one was the one that was particularly brutal I don't remember which one but the coin itself wasn't the problem yeah yes how it was set up and how it was promoted and how the other coins were temporarily abused around its inauguration and all the coin itself is not a problem it was the things that would not be legal in normal markets that happened around it but I don't I think it's cash I don't even remember people are saying it was Bitcoin cash yeah yeah yeah so I you know I think we should we should consider doing our own coin so this is yeah yeah we should seriously as part of mining adventure I just got stress pains in my neck as part of mining adventure we should do we should be like here's all the ways this can be manipulated and usually we're doing you know usually don't buy this yeah you should list out like these are all the potential things that we could do yeah to abuse the creation of this coin these are the things that we're going to do late coin Wow oh my god okay go ahead I'm sorry I'm still listening there's got to be some way so that like everyone that's current oh my god if you could make that will be such an interesting version of mining if you sit in twitch chat and there's a bot that registers that you're in twitch chat and then it like sends you coins based on how long you're in twitch chat before the show went live but after it was supposed to go live so you make money by waiting do complicated we're just gonna if we do this I'm sure we're just gonna copy someone else's open source court code for their coin and do nothing unique but that's what most people do anyways so it's fine they're saying that exists lots of people want floatplane coin people want dazeem on what Linus coin float coin when coin coin lots of late coin by coin late coin float coin float coin luke coin heck yeah heck yeah so you know I think it would be a really interesting is oh my god that's a weakened that's what we can reward the bingo that's how we can distribute coins at the beginning is generate a whole bunch we can distribute them through the bingo game do you know that people want more and then you can brag and chat with how much you have so there's like a social status thing so you can put you can buy social status because that's how dirty this whole time with samurai salesman Luke go home alright why don't we get into the way that we actually make money around here heck yeah sponsors sponsor number one is spectrum do you find yourself staring at a monitor all day that can be hard on your eyes over time and make it tougher to fall asleep well spectrum is an affordable long-term solution to staring at a computer screen using a software solution like flux or Twilight will not give you the same type of blue light filtering that these stylish glasses do their features include that they're stylish also that they're made of glass high-quality one year warranty and the product is extremely durable another feature includes another feature is loquat lock up low color distortion so compared to other blue light filtering lenses that I've seen before I don't feel like I'm just looking at the world through a blue lens yeah yeah light sources do look more yellow it is slice little bit of yellowing but not very much but red stuff is still like mostly red everything just seems like it has an extremely mild warming filter and they're the highest rated among their competitors on Amazon so check them out at spectrum glasses dot-com slash collection slashed prospect or at the link below I'll go ahead and post that in the chat and you can save 10% off spectrum glasses using offer code Linus it's pro spec boom Oh prospect that could be wrong that big sense you know what I'm just gonna go with the genius Lee because that's what I know Luke that's what I know that's what my genius is all right so do we have any no we're gonna do fresh books

hear about us section when you sign up for your 30 day free trial I'm gonna go ahead and link that in the twitch chat as well if you guys run like a small-time tech repair shop or she's gotta still be common it was super common when we were it's gotta still be common like I did tech work when I was in high school so did I yeah like there's like no good reason that I can think of not to make some money on the side if you're just passionate but like these days it might be more based around fixing mobile phones and stuff but there's there's still tech work oh absolutely like battery swaps yeah what do you like these are we getting that the add nod of approval I think so you like the thick frames on me hey okay huh you know it's funny I never thought of myself as a thick frame guy like I don't know have you seen my prescription glasses yeah yeah they're like they're small they're small yeah I could pull this off you think I probably need like an overall style update though yeah yeah all right you can go cold that's all right bringing us to our last sponsor savage jerky so they actually hit Colton you still there okay so Colton Noether and Colton ran an investigation Colton ran an investigation come on come on over here come over here we need inspector Colton back I think remember when you solved the mystery of people of the utensils yes I do okay my finest pieces of work here finest company finest Channel super-fun one of the finest channels Superfund episodes of all time and probably the single most valuable thing Colton has done since he began his employment investigator we have to solve another mystery who took our Savitz Turkey I don't know man I've been I I sent a message to like our group a group chat and and no responses I looked around the office somebody ate it but the thing is is that we had a lot we had a lot of water jerky like somebody must have just gone to town like you guys have probably seen the boss yeah it's not a small pretty huge yeah like there is some of it that's empty but most of it had quite a bit yeah they were like there was an easily one or two zones just jerky we're gonna we're gonna say this sort of one sit front and like it's enough that you couldn't have like accidentally opened up a package started eating it because like it's delicious and they're just like oh no it's gone between many packages yeah you're like oh 14 packs of jerky I guess I'll do see ya I guess this is total and like some of it was so spicy that you couldn't conceivably have eaten it in more than in less than like many sittings let me see somebody walking by somebody's like like if you ate it in one sitting you wouldn't be sitting Oh for a while or you you know what I mean you know what I mean no sitting we're gonna find it we're gonna track it down okay so can we ask Savage today they're sending us more it's that good okay okay so anyway savage jerky it's made with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives it's a snack that's full of spice and flavor but isn't bad for you they've got 13 different flavors I love the maple buffalo bacon any any mo whole flavor is excellent the traditional flavor is excellent that if you're into it the Carolina Reaper and the ghost peppers like people people who was it was mape me that was like yeah whatever no jerky is well to savage for me yeah and then he had like issues the next day yeah yeah they also make barbecue sauce hot sauce and a spice rub but I'm sure he tanked it and you can use offer [Laughter] because because you don't actually go in the tank that's gross I use our code ltte to save 10% on savage turkey fried eggs oops oh not that we can eat them and stuff right now yeah yeah they're good you'll just have to take our word for it yeah they're yummy so that's pretty sad if you go down yeah okay so this was posted by dragoon 20005 on the forum and you know what this doesn't surprise me at all and it wouldn't surprise me if this is true of other motherboard makers as well but as ROC has said in a statement that it's aware of the current hold on am i muted here oh it is aware of the current Intel micro code version that might be detected a lot of security vulnerables working closely six 100-200 z 370 and X 299 motherboards it blows me away that X 99 is not included yeah I like that since that was a high-end product until June of this year yeah gigabyte joined the list last year despite originally saying their products weren't vulnerable AMD joined the list releasing patches to address both variants of Spectre so here we go CPU by code update so basically a soos was the first to address the issue I mesial so etc so if you are running an older CPU you know I can see people shouting forced for system obsolescence here I can also see the other side where the manufacturers are going well hold on a minute this is like four or five year old product how can we possibly be expected to be continuing to provide support for it you know but Wow one thing I can say is that whoever's to blame it is not the consumer yeah so that's a thing and I think that for a security vulnerability it is fair to expect to be receiving support and it's not getting done and there are multiple issues at play here one of which is a symptom of the computer industries overall inability to responsibly manage itself because I can tell you guys right now with the margins that they have many of these companies simply could not afford to roll out all of these updates they actually wouldn't have the engineering bandwidth for it they actually couldn't do it but this this sort of points us to an overall larger systemic problem and that is that the computer industry and consumers are partly to blame for this as well has been on a race toward zero I don't think so you don't think consumers just ultimately turning away from the higher quality product refusing to spend more for it and just buying whatever's cheapest you don't think that contributes I don't think that's happening that much well remember this is this is an ongoing problem we're going back 20 years now like we're going back to when computers were treated like you bought a high-end computer once in a while you bought a quality one versus being treated like commodities yeah but I think consumers are going to do that in any market that you're in that's how markets work if it's good enough they'll buy the one that's cheap enough to fit their field and when you're looking at like gaming consumerism you're looking at like okay I want to play these games I need this level of thing and then you buy the cheapest thing that can hit that level that's okay let me throw a counter-argument at you because it's not like there weren't opportunities in the past for people to learn from a mistake like buying a motherboard from a cheaper vendor having it be trash and having their customer support I mean people complain about the customer support of computer hardware manufacturers incessantly but then they turn around and they still buy this stuff like there's an excellent thread over on Hardware canucks about Canadian warranty service horror stories and these resources are out there but the consumers continue to support vendors that when you go when you break it down I guess I'm aren't charging enough in order to fully staff their support departments to provide adequate service I guess you probably know more because of the sales numbers of being a p.m. because from my perspective looking at posts on like our forum and my own purchasing habits and the person habits of my friends we buy cheaply but usually within known constructs like I've dealt with customer service from a few companies yeah and I will often buy from those companies or not based on how the customer service wins so in the broader scheme of things it is amazing how much of a difference people will it's amazing how many more people will buy something when it is $4 cheaper but I I feel like that's got to be a thing across all markets and the the reaction tools tools is a great example of people buying what they believe is quality because they think it's gonna last it is hard to break into the market as a cheap that same time actually you expect to be able to buy a tool and keep it potentially for the rest of your life can write to a computer where you can keep it for three years exactly so customer expectations have shaped how much they expect to spend on these things which has shaped how much people can make when they sell them like it's look I'm not to be clear I'm okay I should maybe blame is the wrong word yeah I don't think customers is it is a difficult thing to do because consumers are gonna act like consumers act and always act the same way blame is the wrong word here but I would say that consumers and manufacturers have contributed to what is an overall systemic problem tributed sure yeah because we could sit around and like we've got people saying you know they should recall all of these they should do this they should do that that's stupid it's like it's just a stupid thing to say because it just doesn't work that way and everyone just lose their computers like it's like if it's like if we released um you know really would just shut down like you can't yeah like the whole internet would just shut down like we don't actually want a world where MSI gigabyte a Zeus and asrock they just don't exist we don't want that we have to find we have to find a compromise here and it seems like they think the compromise is 100 series and up and as a as a okay here as a customer who's rolling x99 systems in our production machines I can tell you that I bought into that and we didn't pay for all the hardware as you guys know we did a video about it but we do have money invested into them so as someone who invested money into running these machines in a production environment seven months ago or eight months ago or whatever it was I am super not impressed that I'm not getting supported here so I don't know where the right compromise is but I'm not happy about where we are now and I guess I I don't really have much more to say than that yeah I I think I think I guess the takeaway from this is pay attention to how different companies react to this yeah there that's that's a great takeaway so guys here I mean what we can link you to we can link you to the article where this is being tracked actually no it'll be on the forum later we'll have it in the when topics 11 in the lam target land topics forum and check it out so find whoever supported this best write it down put it on a post-it note stick it to your wall Google box next time you buy a motherboard buy from them yeah and let's see if we can start to reverse the tide because ultimately that's what it's gonna take unless the consumer habits change and these companies feel like they're gonna get a return on the investment that they're putting in to support they're not gonna do it because that's how business works you invest where you're gonna get a return so brand loyalty I think is is generally kind of not a good idea but I don't see this as a brand loyalty move because you're making a logical decision that's based on how a company acts and like if something like this was to happen again you're making a decision that is based on how that company would react to that situation so it is actually in putting value into the product so you can look at the overall value proposition and go look this has more value to me I'm going to purchase it not I'm brand loyal to this company I'm going to purchase it I've made purchasing decisions based on companies one of them that I've told stories of on the wine show before is EVGA because of how well they treated me in the past when I was not a creator right this is when I was absolutely on my own it's a long story so I'm not going to go over it but they were awesome and I don't buy everything from EVGA clearly you can see my builds yeah done them here but in situations where I'm like oh look one of my options is this and it's pretty darn close to another one I have often gone with them but I don't buy their stuff exclusively at all because I'm going for what I think is the best value of that individual point in time do you want to totally change gears yes posted by se to Mitch on the forum original articles from CBC a Canadian has been charged with spamming twitch what Brendon Lucas out of the can-spam is subject to a court order preventing him from spanning which I know right so the 20 year old has been charged with mischief in relation to computer data by the Supreme Court of British Columbia local guy for allegedly sending a hundred and fifty thousand offensive messages through twitches chat suspensive the messages hit more than a thousand different channels and included racist anti-semitic sexist and homophobic slurs thanks for representing Canada you could face up to ten years in prison as well as a civil order barring him from using creating or selling certain types of software including any robot bought crawlers spiders blacklisting software or other software that could be used to target the streaming platform he allegedly used a service called chat surge whose stated purpose is to flood destroy or simply demolish any twitch TV chat room the bots were posting an average of 34 spam messages per minute on some channels the rate was 600 messages a minute employees at twitch dedicated more than 300 hours to tracing the attacks after receiving over 375 individual user reports regarding spam messages containing racism homophobia sexual harassment false implications of viewbotting and soliciting child sex exploitation material what Wow so this all all allegedly happened between February and May of 2017 and he was charged on December 1st of 2017 Wow interesting this prompted the company to file a civil lawsuit on March 31st 2017 against Shaw Communications PayPal Holdings CloudFlare who is privacy corp and who is guard Inc day an Apple was charged on December 1st of 2017 what if there's a shooting at everybody speaking of Apple we yeah I was actually kind of thinking maybe I would do a video updating people have been asking where the heck is our iMac pro coverage oh yeah do you know about this have you heard about this no oh so we we accidentally broke it which happens from time to time yeah no one ever Apple is outright refusing to repair it even at our cost what so right now because it's so new replacement parts are not easy to get an Apple is just refusing to repair it so the store contacted Apple HQ and they were just like no don't don't do it why yeah that's a wonderful question isn't it so I was thinking maybe we'd do a video about that at some point Wow so did two rossmann that's an interesting that's an interesting idea well no I mean okay the issue is not that we can't repair it it's not not rocket science it's got a blown power supply and a broken display we just need a new power supply in a new display whatever the issue is that Apple has a brand new product that for whatever reason not they aren't equipped to they're not saying hey give us a couple weeks I don't know if he's interested or not but I really feel like tieing Rossman into this they're saying hey we are not gonna do it go take it to an Apple certified repair shop somewhere else Wow yeah like what's the point of an Apple store yeah speaking of you know supporting customers and all that we're not asking them to do it for free they even quoted us they told us how much it was gonna cost we agreed to it they held it for a few days and then we're just like what we are not gonna repair it what yeah no I know no no no this is like pretty frustrating what how can I'm truly something in the contract but if they take money for something no they didn't take it yet they just quoted it but they took it physically right they took your product yeah they took the product you should be able to like charge them a rental fee or some bullcrap oh you wouldn't be able to do that if that were the case in every repair shop anywhere that doesn't end up being able fix something would be would be open to that kind of but that's that's that's a decision that's not an inability no that's not a like we tried I could just say oh you must have misunderstood us we can't fix it in which case that's a pretty funny video either way yeah Apple cannot fix the iMac from whoo okay so good luck if it breaks but Rosman probably can't yeah you probably can um okay last last topic today this is cool this is off Windows central.com Microsoft is building a truly modern version of Windows 10 for PCs ho named Polaris they're planning to strip out legacy components in favor of a more modern OS with better battery life like what I don't know what a wonderful question apparently better performance it will feature seashell Microsoft's upcoming Universal shell that shared across devices instead of the legacy Microsoft shell it will also ditch win32 components and apps like notepad or paint in favor of a uwp first experience just like Windows 10 mobile oh wow what it's working on an updated file explorer built on uwp why do they do stuff that like just it's obvious that people will hate okay so you notice how hard it is to get into your network settings now yes ever since the fall created absolutely a nightmare it's ridiculous like you hear a lot and then Auto changes settings back you change something and they'll just set it back that drives me absolutely bonkers like you get stuck here now and like I can never remember is it is it property no no it's not properties is it thanks forever love cars are prominent not Hardware properties is it you know status it's not intense enough there's all this white space you have to scroll for no oh oh wait hold on is it network and sharing center I think what you're looking for is oh no I think you can get to here there we go finally finally there click finally and get this if you want to connect or disconnect a VPN oh my it the stupid thing it doesn't just connect or disconnect are you are you kidding me at least to their credit you can connect and disconnect a VPN by clear now but there was an intermediary there was an intermediary yeah where you couldn't do this still and you just had to come in here and do this and every time I loaded this straight to here it wouldn't work until I clicked on another tab and then click back like is shocking help no no that goes here now the one that you pointed that goes here what that's the problem yeah this goes here I thought that's as of the last couple of updates what yeah yes no I was just using that as my shortcut know you can still right-click I think and open networking into no that's still that's this again that's this no - so there's no straight right this is never what I want no I can't think of any reason I would want to look at this page where's the like how it handles with home and oh hold on hold on oh oh this is just bad UI design that's this is clickable yeah I didn't even realize this was clickable I thought this was just crap yeah so you can click here and you can get to the adapter settings okay yeah they don't look like buttons yeah until you hover over them I viciously hate Windows 10 and it sucks because this really cool Microsoft Studios game is in beta right now called ste of Thieves yeah and I want to play it and I tweeted like does anyone have a key and like awesome Sean from Microsoft is like you go bro and then I'm like wait I can't play it there's someone Windows 8.1 Wow use the Windows Store it's a Windows Store game sadly because the Windows Store is a terrible experience but it looks like a really cool game so I want to play it and I don't have any spare SSDs so I'm gonna install Windows 10 on a 500 gig momentous XT I think that's what it's called those like those like SSD hard drives really just have a lot of cash yeah I'm gonna install Windows 10 on there OBS Chrome and see if thieves and that's it and it'll be a horrible experience because this can be on a hard drive yes yeah so if everyone play the game it'll be on a hard drive because I've just ice I literally sat there for like half an hour basically staring at my computer being like I really want to play sea of thieves but I really really don't want to use Windows 10 and that's it came to there all right so thank you guys for tuning in to the LAN show oh right um early access on floodplain yes huzzah oh do you do you want to talk about any of the cool stuff that's going on a full thing can you talk about the cool stuff that's going on you're killing blog posts there's stuff happening I'm not I'm saying it I'm saying it we processed a credit card transaction a lot of them a lot of credit card transactions and they resumed and they worked and they recent yes the subscription the subscription mechanism worked that is a huge milestone if you've ever like developed a platform you'll know that that's a big deal because you can't even do any of that stuff until you've got a lot of the other back-end mechanisms also working and it like associates with accounts and it grants you access properly and when your sub dies it takes away process properly in and what are we talking about this stuff it's cool I want to slam a whole bunch of these things really close to the launch of the platform okay it's like think of it like sex a piece no most intense orgasm right at the end a penis can only be so wide okay before it just cannot be processed anymore okay you need to you need to just calm down that like massive you know like you know butcher shop meat size direction and just kind of bang out these these news updates on insertion overtime for time is yes one okay so back to my screen here this could be quite possibly the greatest ltte video of all time this is sort of so we actually almost lost one of our cameras at CES not gonna name any names I'm hella someone left one of our camera bags just at the bell desk basically and it's just cold Luca giantic it had I didn't call him one I said maybe he had one different ones offensive ones probably I don't know maybe all depends how sensitive you are I got four that's confusing right I got hardcore SJW dat the Amazon ghost story oh oh yeah anyway um yeah I had an encounter I had a real live encounter it was great I'm sorry yeah anyway so this video was almost lost because it was on an SD card that was sitting in that camera and it is perhaps the greatest watched LTT video of all time I have watched bits of it I haven't watched the whole thing hold on but we're gonna watch a little bit of it now along it was so cool this is like the coolest product of all time and this is possibly the greatest LTT video of all time so that's not a digital screen nope nope nope those are physical objects yeah and this is this this match this match is epic this matches that pic I'm not gonna spoil who wins but it's an epic match me versus Luke mano-a-mano whose clothes real-world pong yeah real-world pong just like seemingly every competition we do the Amazon ghost or video is up so I went down to buy myself some always nice um heck yeah got in trouble for that that's what you got in trouble yeah interesting hey not from Amazon that was my SJW encounter okay the DIY micro SSD micro SD SSD this was an adventure is that that that was good that was fun that was really fun uh mining adventure part three is up a sick miners dad dead uh are they worth it that answer changes from day to day hey guys the iMac pro review from a PC guys perspective that's up just the review the rest of the content has to wait until we can put it back together scammed on eBay six core system it's 19 min that's a really good video the whole thing is really good 19 minutes long for editing on it's good the hosting is good good job yeah I was a good video yep great work a prime yeah so we've also got a couple tech cookies how does Bitcoin work we've got a lot of really good feedback on this video people are saying this is one of the better summaries out there okay also what our Pentium gold and silver because who the crap knows yeah what what Intel's talking about these days and if you are subscribed to bit wit and you can also get a really access to okay Kyle stuff where is it the happiest place on earth breaks down is a really wholesome actually fun to watch video Kyle's has fantastic humour wifey sauce is hilarious they go to Disneyland it has almost nothing to do with tech and it is great I don't know I like I clicked on it to be like oh the upload worked in bubble blow I want to see how the service is going because some people whatever and then I ended up just sitting there and watch the whole thing and was like I feel good about stuff now this is gonna be a good day speaking of the upload working you guys have retooled a lot of the backend is the performance on the player still good oh it should be just my click Wow yeah it should be good wow did you guys see that instant playback I think you might have to play again oh really oh okay so this video quality and this is actually not that great so don't judge our 1080p based on this and it's going through twitch yeah not fair anyway that's a cool poster thingy the-the-the the pacing and the editing in the beginning before they go to Disneyland is really good and then it's hilarious once they're there I don't know they just it's good very good alright so there you go there's the update on flow plane sort of a lot of great content over there though so go sign up if you haven't already and hopefully very soon we will have annual subscriptions working again that'll be by soon so the reason why I launched is very soon the reason why annual subscriptions got cut wasn't because I don't want to give people a discount for it subscribing annually I absolutely want to do that because then that encourages people to subscribe annually obviously that's why everyone does that but I didn't want to lock people onto the current payments platform because it's garbage so I'm hoping that we can watch the new site get you on the new payments platform then there will be the discounts for yearly and if you were subscribed yearly and then now you're subscribed at monthly don't worry you'll still be grandfathered into the nice price and are we gonna find a way to work that how are we gonna do that okay we'll figure that out still some things won't actually be that hard okay okay cool yeah all right cool um people want the sjw story ah is it a good idea I don't know I don't know no I got a go all right I'll do it really quick okay I'll do it really quick so basically you're playing with fire here I know I don't okay I know one thing to consider oh no I don't we are not a federal institution okay that's fine there is laws against certain things in Canada anyways okay okay so anyway I'm kind of done shooting the piece and I'm I'm waiting to get my receipt on my phone and so Dennett like I'm holding the stuff I bought and it's like kind of awkward because Dennis has to keep his camera pointed at it because we want to see the push notification okay so we like we can't really move so I've got like I've got these like pads and we put the food in the bag so I just have these pads and I have my phone and like my mic battery's dying so we need to like swap the batteries and we're trying to hold everything we're trying to like anyway um so this person comes up to me and goes are you guys like vloggers and I'm like oh yeah and she's like did I say she the person because I'm not gonna assume the person the person kind of makes a face and goes and as part of your bit that you're here buying pads and that that's embarrassing and I'm like and then I don't actually get a chance to say anything because that's perpetuating something something I kind of was tuned out by that point and and it's totally natural and it's fine I'm like yeah it is and that's fine and that's good and as a wife he's probably buying them for yep and you know it's one of those it's one of those conversations where it's like look honestly I am NOT personally shy and I don't feel awkward about natural bodily functions no because who gives a shit get it but I'm also not gonna pretend that people don't feel a little awkward when they have to go to a drugstore and buy condoms or yeah tampons or suppositories anything that goes on your genitals up your genitals or you know up your butt is just you know what people feel a little awkward about that malucia nary reasons why you feel awkward about those things and that's fine too basically the premise of the video is you know I need to buy something the original plan was condoms actually the original plan was was extra small condoms and I was good it was gonna be a joke at my own expense because I was gonna want to buy some condoms they needed to be obviously I don't need those because but but the joke was gonna be I need to buy some condoms and I hate I hate telling people my size you know and so you know I need I need a store that doesn't have cashiers so I'm gonna drive all the way to Seattle so I don't have to show the extra small condoms to the cashier okay and we called the head and they don't carry condoms so we were like what's the only like personal care or personal hygiene product that you carry and it turned out it was tampons and pads so we had to adapt it and there you go that was it and the funny thing is I was sitting eating my lunch on a bench in the building next to it and an Amazon staffer who happened to be female comes by and she's like oh is your bit that you don't have to talk to the cashier about the pads that's hilarious that's something I didn't even think of as a benefit for this store because when when husbands and boyfriends have to come in and buy pads and tampons they can do it discreetly brilliant and and she goes on on her way which is like yeah we're allowed to feel awkward and we were even we were talking we were talking for a little bit more actually and I go yeah you know I actually took flak over this over this angle for the video and she goes oh you know that's uh well you know I'm from the East Coast and I was like well you know I'm west coast and I got nothing to say about about that but you know East Coast sounds great oh man you know it's just it's one of those things where people are gonna be offended or not offended my personal my personal philosophy on the whole thing I don't get real personal on the land show very often but my personal philosophy is you know what it is very easy to get offended in life you can get offended by almost anything it is really hard to get along and so what we all need to work at is getting along and if everybody focuses on that and if we focus on people's intent rather than on exactly the words they used or the way that they used them it would be a better world yeah that's all I have to say don't assume people are trying to be jerks thank you for watching the land show we will see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel assuming we haven't been you know assuming we can get past the picket line of people who are upset in front of our office yep they'll see 16 yeah go see 16 is crazy 60 federal institutions you are essentially as a Billiken it's really complicated and there's other bills that affect it so it's a really difficult thing to understand and just saying it during the outro is not gonna make enough sense I would recommend doing research on it don't just read the bill because there are other bills that affect it so it's more complicated than that anyways
