 Welcome to the WEN show ladies and gentlemen It's pre-recorded this week because we have no idea what's going on Not a clue We're having a tremendous afternoon You know the craziest thing about today is that we actually pressed go for the first time on time Oh, yeah And I don't remember the last time that happened It's been a while and then after 35 minutes of trying different restreaming services swapping ethernet cables changing encoding settings We just we we can't we can't push any more notifications to YouTube because YouTube won't deliver them to you and We just we have no choice We have no choice. There's nothing that we can do. Oh My goodness, please tell me that this isn't live Okay, I'm just yeah cool. I'm just gonna set these unlisted and I'm just gonna call them broken stream Broken streams broken dreams Perfect all of them best title best 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 viral hit. Oh, yeah This is in the new cat video. Yeah, there's just there's nothing I can do about this at this point No, we do have for when you guys do see this. Oh good The last one just went published when public on the channel Brilliant I love it. Thank you. Thank you YouTube Appreciate this don't know what's going wrong. It's great because the YouTube diagnostic was green Oh, yeah, it's like everything's fine dream health was green. Oh, don't worry. Oh BS all green everything green. Yep No problems here. Yep. So great. So we just used up one two three I think four YouTube notifications, which I believe is our daily limit so when show basically won't get viewed this week because Algorithmic view serving rather than just pinging people when we ask Although maybe they're saving us from ourselves today because we just know that might have been four times in 15 minutes. Yeah Anyway, we've got a great show for you guys today a lot of good stuff I phone only got one your phone only got one helps. Yeah. Well, hopefully um, Should we restart this? No, no, I was dead. No, we're not this we've already restarted like four or five times or whatever So we're gonna the first big topic of today is of course Apple bailing Reportedly on the butterfly keyboard that they've been using in their MacBook Pro. So I know Finally, so the original article here is from Mac rumors dot-com. We're gonna go ahead and fire that up There you go Apple to use new Scissor-switch keyboard in future MacBook starting with the 2019 MacBook air refresh Wow, that could actually make the 2019 MacBook air like the notebook to buy Assuming that they managed to put a quad-core processor in it this time. Yeah, I'd be pretty stoked on that That goes against our notes in the dock Which is interesting because it said the keyboard will likely not be ready for this year's lineup and will be used in the MacBook Pro but not until 2020 Fascinating but they're rumors. So either way sounds like hopefully Apple is moving away from the butterfly keyboard Yeah, my your mileage your mileage may vary on these on these rumors, of course Yeah So the the again the rumor is that the new scissor switch can improve the typing experience by offering a longer key travel What? What Nobody was asking you know what I wonder you know what I really wonder was Apple trying to pave the way For a haptic screen switch I I could see it doesn't buy a lot of the stuff. They've been developing. Yeah, didn't they kind of feel yeah, like Like kind of like a sharp short Almost like like a force touch feel. Yeah. Yeah, and their force touch is actually very good. It's amazing Yeah, or a 3d touch or whatever whatever is between those two Is that even that crazy? Like you look at the way the I know I would like the average person doesn't touch type even So if you're just Joe average and they went and they put that they put the touch bar in they went and they put these switches That are sort of I mean they're in between Lots of travel and no travel whatsoever. Am I boring you? Sorry. No, no, no, it's okay. I know you're just tired. Yeah Anyway, sorry, that's neither here. No there So anyway, the new scissor switch can improve typing experience by offering a longer key travel cheaper to make but won't be as cheap as an average Keyboard apparently the butterfly does have the advantage of being very thin which of course nobody was really Asking for yeah, I don't think that's been I the whole design industry has been so obsessed with making phones and laptops thinner And like it's really doesn't matter past a certain point They've been as thin as I've needed them to be for a few years now Yeah, like thing things were too clunky We had there there's pictures you can find of laptops that are like clearly too thick but yeah, I don't know at a certain point It doesn't matter so much anymore Well, you can fit it in a file folder with like ease. It's like, okay. Yeah, it's probably good enough Oh Man YouTube chat is still going this is so simple. It's their damn net Why is this so hard to understand they have a switcher router down or their upstream is getting hosed? So while we were dropping frames we measured what was it 600 megabit up or something stupid like that off of the streaming computer So no No, that weren't it. Not that Yeah, I genuinely have no clue what you could do millisecond pings and 600 megabit up While we were still streaming so no, that's fine. Like we're yeah pretty stumped usually usually like a Diagnostic process could just be do everything over again And then it'll maybe work and you won't necessarily know what was broken but will maybe work But we've done that like yeah quite a few times and we also don't have time to do that right now When this show is supposed to be going live. Yeah right now, so we appreciate your suggestions, but unfortunately, they weren't really applicable this time No, I kind of want to just ditch this computer again because I think it's haunted That's the only possible explanation at this point in time is that that computer is haunted. I made a joke Last week, I think it was yeah, which is where like I should just bring my computer in every Friday We just stream off of that but like at this point I bet you could work The crazy thing again, like I like I was I was afraid to like I didn't want to blame it on the network I could blame it on the network cable that was running around. Yeah, it's because we're talking 20 meters another 40 another 20 like you're getting kind of close and we're going through a switch Although that theoretically should reset the 100 meter limit sort of issue. I think Anyway, it's not an amazing. It's not an amazing switch and I was having an issue with an Ethernet Port in the set earlier this week. Okay, so I was like, okay Maybe there's a bad switch. So we ran a cable directly to the server room, which is not into a bad switch That's into like a $4,000 switch. It's a little bit of a sketchy cable It's not a great cable, but it looks like it's working just fine Yeah, and we had the exact same issue either way So I didn't want to blame the network because the stream cart streams fine But that yeah, that's what I've been saying to this computer is a problem I've been mentioning the stream cart streaming fine for a while now. So but then the direct connection that didn't fix it so It's haunted. It's it's haunted hardware. That's the only possible explanation for it But it's been haunted for like six years Speaking of haunted in other news this week three Florida towns are apparently infected by Ransomware, so this was posted originally on ours technica.com. Let's go ahead and Pull the article up here Florida land someone clicks link again giving key Biscayne Biscayne. I I don't know keep this game ransomware triple that triple threat commodity malware attacks seizes computers of yet another Florida town. This is like ransomware is honestly the smartest thing the black hat community Ever came up with because compared to other attacks it is so easy to deploy and is so Profitable like it is so lucrative. I mean compared to you know if you were let's say hypothetically you were to deploy something like a medium-sized botnet, okay in order to Deploy that it's relatively straightforward. You have to get someone to click on a compromised link approve running a compromised executable or some kind of script on a web page or something like that and Basically for all intents and purposes they are a part of your swarm right sure to go about like that sure all right so then from there Monetizing the swarm is the next step because just infecting people's computers unless you just want to watch the world burn doesn't have a Nickels and dimes benefit yeah, so okay ways to monetize a swarm you might mine cryptocurrency on your swarm But you'll probably have to do it in relatively low amounts Because you'd have to mine fairly slowly because you don't want people to reformat the computers or go get them fixed or whatever Or whatever the case may be you told so really the key to a good infection is the user not knowing that they are infected So mining cryptocurrency in that so if you want a bonnet You could you could fraudulently you could fraudulently click on a banner ads or You know YouTube advertising or whatever else so so you could you could Conduct like a click fraud operation you could Farm keystrokes farm keystrokes, okay. Yeah, right you could sell data all right So you could find these individuals that have so you could key log them so you could find when they've Logged into something you could go okay. Let's let's go try that and just kind of I'm sure there's an AI that you could use to kind of yeah, you just log like okay They're on this page, and they entered these two things into these fields. Yeah sounds good there you go So you can you could start you could farm user data and then from there you could commit identity theft Or there's a you know variety of other things you could just get straight into people's bank accounts transfer funds out of them So that can be pretty lucrative, but you've got it the point is that you can just But you've got it the point is that once a computer is infected You have to come up with something But yeah also in that category you have to transfer funds out of those bank accounts to another bank account all in Like whatever I don't remember what the term for it is, but like fiat currency fiat currency yes Yeah, so that's a little bit tough because it's quite traceable Ransomware by contrast is just brilliant because people to pay you directly you only have to get theoretically as few as one Computer infected with it. It's just as easy to roll out as something like a keylogger If you basically if you can get anyone to run an executable and click through the prompts on their computer I mean that that's it you can talk all day Mac PC You know Chrome Firefox It doesn't matter once you get someone to execute a file and then blitz through the security prompts on their computer Which most users will just do without looking at them Yeah, they're infected and an individual could pay hundreds of dollars to unlock their computer because at least with you know one of those other types of infections you can you can cut off the problem at the source by just unplugging it from the internet or Formatting the PC or whatever like it's something that can relatively easily be fixed with ransomware at least with the more sophisticated ones You just don't have your data And yeah, you can reformat your computer But say goodbye to all your childhood photos or whatever else it is that you store on your computer So an average person would probably pay two three hundred bucks to get that stuff back. Well, okay, not probably there's there's a very high percentage chance that an average person might be interested or there might be things on that computer that are worth two to 300 bucks to them So there it's a it's a decent amount to try to charge a random but if you know that you happen to get like a Municipality or a city or a bank or like some big entity like that you can charge potentially way more apparently First town Palm Beach County. Yeah, no idea six hundred thousand dollars is to be paid and second Oh Lake City, Florida is also gonna be paying about 42 Bitcoin which is about 460,000 USD Whenever this was written because that price changes all the time, but 42 Bitcoin And then the third town Key Biscayne got no notice about ransom most of their networks apparently got back up within four days after being infected But all of them were hit by the same method a city employee clicking on a malicious email Yikes that's pretty rough big yikes In other news Vodafone UK switches on 5g service with Unlimited data plan. So the original article here was from the BBC. Let's go ahead and fire that up It's live in five cities in the UK boom switches on in seven UK cities so in spite of all the concerns that people have about the safety of 5g Not just with respect to like the the the RF you know Like effects on their body or whatever What are you looking at? Oh, I was I was looking at my wrist. Oh, oh, yeah. Sorry. I thought I was You've been exposed to 5g. Yeah, I know are you okay? I've got the 5g Are you healthy? So Yeah, I forgot so I was hydro dipping oh So I just know it's just paint on my arm. Sorry. I had a bit of a panic moment there So anyway, the concerns about 5g are not just with respect to the effects of the the waves on the human body Yes taking down a weather satellites and crazy stuff So it apparently interferes with weather forecasting or at least could interfere with weather forecasting It's accurate anyways Well, yeah, but like I'm talking more than just like 70% chance of rain or whatever Like hurricane warnings apparently could be affected by this. So it's a very serious issue Luke And I think you should just grow up The weatherman said I would have more snow this year and I didn't it's some upset It's weather predictor weather correspondent not weather man. Oh, okay. What year is it? I think you need to not just grow up but also get with the times. Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. Oh Man, okay in other news. Did you? What's up, Tray? We do like it's broken pressure. No, it's like a pressure situation. Okay. Okay In other in other news, did you see the dumbest thing on the internet of all time? Actually Nick, I'll let you jump in before I get into this haven't watched your most recent video yet Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it I'll do it during the sponsor spots The best show Okay, have you it's the greatest it's the most amazing show So this was trending on Twitter last night And I don't usually weigh in on political discussion on the land show, but this boy this just made This just it man. It made me so mad. It could turn my hair red and That's a joke To do with anyway, so there was a trending hashtag. What is the joke to do with? hashtag not my Ariel Because a dark-skinned actress has been cast to play Ariel in the live-action Little Mermaid movie okay, and I just couldn't even I Just couldn't even I see why that's a joke now. Yeah, so yeah So basically white people were mad that Ariel is not white I Don't yeah, I don't get it really I know why anyone cares So the arguments getting made and this is this is why I wanted to bring this up This is this is the part of the show that's just sort of off-topic now So the argument that was getting made was that it's not true to the original like the original content and that's Kind of where I was going with this. It's just it's a newsflash for everyone Racist or otherwise the Disney movie is rarely if ever Yeah Yeah They usually based on like fairy tales which came way before Cinderella a lot older than that whatever you know the Sleeping Beauty cuz there's like hundreds of years. There's interesting ones where you know the Harry Potter and the and the What is it cursed child or something? Yeah, I haven't read that. Oh Don't bother hey, I probably not bummer. I went to go see the play Yeah, was that any good which was actually the production was amazing The playhouse that it was in was fantastic I think the the actors did a very good job and like yeah the how they use the production house and the effects and everything We're great, etc But I was actually a little confused when it first started. I didn't recognize Hermione Because she's not white right I didn't get that once someone refers to her as Hermione I'm like, okay, and then proceeded to not care figured out what I was doing I was like, okay, I'm gonna go with the original I'm like, okay, and then proceeded to not care figured out the internet cared a lot and But something that got brought up is yeah, apparently JK Rowling. Yeah has said that she was never intended to be white really and that she was actually supposed to be African sure For whatever reason or equatorial that continent descent I can't keep up. I don't know what's up right? Yeah I Am like and I read that and went okay and moved on Internet not okay with this apparently in one of the books it specifies that she is white So when you told me the aerial thing, that's why my reaction was like Because now I'm wondering it's like maybe in one of the fairy tales to the dot it be your face Happens to be pearlescent. I don't know. I have no idea but like Maybe I don't know anyway the long and the short of it is I'm never clicking on a trending hashtag again Cuz they never matter and I'm sorry that I ever did because Twitter is the ultimate Illustration of everything that is wrong with the mainstream internet Twitter gives everyone a voice and quite frankly not everyone deserves one The thing that just drives me nuts is like that's actually the least important thing. I've heard of in so The skin color of the character who plays Ariel Can we address the bigger issue here that the live-action remakes of the old Disney classic cartoons are the most blatant? garbage Grab yes of our time. Yeah, they are worse than gaming movies I'm actually gonna take that stance really defend it. Okay. Have you seen? Have you seen hitman? No, actually it's actually It's okay Yeah, okay. I get really triggered about the Warcraft movie because the amount of inaccuracies and like why the heck is it live? I like the orcs the orcs were never intended to be green They were right There's some that are anyways the the Warcraft movie it drives me nuts because blizzard is insanely good at making Animated cinematics and yes, they always have been yeah, and there's a live-action movie and everyone's like what? What are you thinking play to your strengths ladies and gentlemen? They like change part of the story and all this kind of stuff But if you went in there never knowing anything about Warcraft It's actually probably pretty decent Like there's something game I think a lot of people are gonna take issue with that in the comments, but please go on why I just think they will I haven't seen the movie you told me not to watch it. So I know I wouldn't bother exactly. Okay but like I I think any movies are at the very least getting better and Like hitman I thought was it was okay for a plane movie. I didn't feel like I wasted my time got it. Okay So and I feel like every live-action Disney movie is gonna be a waste of time So here is I guess you know what I I've challenged you to defend that but I actually don't disagree with you because To me I what I'm glad you brought up was whether it was a waste of time or not Yeah, so my that is exactly my issue with the Disney live-action remakes. So I only watched part of Beauty and the Beast not because I wasn't in the room the whole time But because my attention was super not focused on it because it was very very boring So at least the live-action version Yeah at least with most video game movies that I've seen they at least try to put a spin on the story and or the characters or Just use the original story and characters of the game as a as a jumping-off point and do something Completely different with it. It's not made by I don't remember how to say his first name, but Yeah, I'd like I don't I can't think of a video game movie that That tries to just steal the plot of one of the games but just make it a movie Remember the old Final Fantasy movie that was yeah, it was nothing like no not even close any of the games But it's good I would have made the argument that that just shouldn't have been called Final Fantasy anything because it was just completely off time I would agree. Yeah, but it's good, but it's still it's okay But going back to the Disney live-action movies, they just there it's it's in some cases is even the same bloody songs Like they didn't even they didn't they didn't they didn't do anything original Like okay, it's it's it's really like they throw expensive actors at it Oh, yeah, cuz they know they're gonna make a billion dollars And they know the names of the actors will help them make exactly this amounts of money So so this is a it's it's and that's my problem with it is like I feel like my time is being wasted because I'm being Told the exact same story in the exact same way with the exact same songs and I'm somehow supposed to get over the fact that Hermione Granger is Bell for whatever reason and French I guess and I just can't I just I don't get it and So to me, it just looks like it's entirely a bean counter decision So someone went okay, we can do a remastering of the Lion King now on Blu-ray in 3d with some some DVD extras and behind the scenes and we can do a big campaign we can do a theatrical release and We can print ourselves 150 million dollars later interviews or we can do this We can spend twice as much we can spend 300 million dollars But we know we're gonna get 900 million one and a half billion Like we know what the return is because we can just take it almost as a straight-up Formula we just go okay. Here's the year of the original release. Here's what it grossed Here's what the overall like because they thought I'm sure they have figures for all this Here's what the overall merchandising numbers were like so here's how many adult humans today with children Exist that loved this movie. Yeah, and they can just draw a freaking trend line through it and go Okay, yeah, so that one's worth about 1.15 billion If we put the Disney machine to work and pump out all this stuff around it That's gonna cost us about 350 million so we could either spend you know 5 million redoing the same movie or 10 million or whatever you're adding 3d And get our 150 million or we could take a bigger risk, but it's not a risk No, and we could generate a much bigger return. Let's work on that instead So that's why we saw one of these things and now there's an explosion It's like oh, yeah, it worked for sure Just do it again, and I was never that into Beauty and the Beast So I it didn't offend me even if I didn't particularly enjoy the live-action thing like I was just bored Because it was like this is the same movie Yeah, but now instead of the because I I love animated movies I was gonna say some things are better and some things are better animated some things lend themselves like warcraft imagination Better when they're animated how to train your dragon wouldn't be as good a film if it wasn't animated no Neither would the Incredibles no and no and so I just I wasn't like offended But I actually just found out apparently they're working on live-action Mulan and that kind of annoyed me Because and we had we had a big debate in the office today about which is a better Which is a better Disney film Mulan or Hercules do you want to weigh in on that? Did you ever see either of them? Okay It's been a wild amount of time since I've seen either and an exceptionally wild amount of time since I've seen move on But probably Mulan I mean there's no right answer I mean no one would agree with you if you said Hercules other than David okay, yeah, but like Anyway, but like it's been a very long I only just found out they're doing a live-action one of that and I'm just like what what are you gonna? Like what were you aiming to fix and if you weren't aiming to fix anything? It's like 1996 or 98 or something I guess that was a while ago. It's pretty old It's like over 20 years old Oh Man 98 yeah, it's 21 years ago Darn it Darn it all right, so sorry when you guys actually watch this live We haven't had a live chat to keep us on track. Yeah, sorry guys We'll get back on track with our sponsors The show today is brought to you by private internet access go to LMG.gg Slash PIA when to try it out today PIA has over 3,000 bare-metal servers in 44 locations across 28 countries you can connect up to five devices at the same time with a single account Their apps include DNS leak protection and IPv6 leak protection they've got apps for Windows Mac OS Android iOS Linux and Google Chrome and And I mean what else do you need go check it out? It's PIA. It's freaking awesome It's sweet speaking of awesome Corsairs hydro X is bringing full custom liquid cooling to the masses Corsair Their XC 7 and XC 9 RGB CPU blocks are among the top performers out there with their skived Skived skived with their skived microfin cold plates And really the main story here to me is the way that Corsair handles an entire ecosystem of products So they're all designed to work together properly and they went all out So some of the products were designed by Corsair in-house including the CPU blocks as well as the reservoir pump Arrangement although you'll be happy to hear this they didn't go stupid on the pump They went with a genuine Lang D5 cool, okay, right? That's actually very nice and like they had the stones To just go with what people should buy instead of offering things that people shouldn't buy because they might want them I will say as someone who has had no involvement in this whatsoever the fact that they just went with a D5 makes me Very happy. Yeah For the radiators they had hardware labs do them up cool for the fittings. Who do you think? Just guess it was a good choice. It was a good choice It was a good choice. I've got two in mind one of them is bits power. Yeah, there you go It was a bit sweat went with bits power for the fittings So they designed the things themselves where it made sense GPU blocks as well And they went with partnerships where they felt like there was outside expertise that could help them deliver a better product So go check it out. It all works together great and you can use their configurator over at LMG.gg Slash hydro X and it'll help you pick all the right stuff and put it all together the show is also brought to you by pulse Way pulse wave is the real-time remote monitoring and management software that helps you fix problems on the go by sending commands from any mobile Device it's compatible with Windows Mac and Linux and their single app gives you remote desktop Functionality so you can get access to real-time status system resources logged in users network performance Windows updates and more It even allows allows you to create and deploy custom scripts to automate your IT tasks So try it out for free at pulseway.com Or through the link in the video description The last thing I wanted to bring up was actually something that we talked about on one of our previous attempts to do this stream but promo code 10 off 30 on Ltt store comm so if you go to Ltt store comm slash discount slash 10 off 30 It's limited to 500 orders and it ends in Oh two hours actually as of us recording this so 8 p.m. Pacific It'll give you $10 off orders of $30 or more so go check that out right away. It is limited in both quantity and time Um alright, so what else do we have for the show today? It's actually a nuts deal. We got a little bit off-topic there Just a little bit. How did we get there talking about keyboard switches? I don't know I just I got super mad cuz like honestly it consumed a lot of my time because I just it was one of Those things where I couldn't look away from the stupid And I was just oh Right the the Twitter topic. Yeah, I was like just scrolling my phone like a zombie until I finally went But I think I think that's the whole oh man We got to not get caught on this even longer But I think that's the whole problem with those types of issues and why they start trending because you're like oh goodness And then people weigh in after feeling right instead of just scrolling forever like you did the weigh-in and then scroll forever And then we were both reply to them and then they'll reply And this whole thing that should have never mattered at all yes now trending on Twitter is now trending on Twitter. It's madness Fantastic speaking of madness Trump is apparently to lift some restrictions on Huawei The original article here is from and gadget comms go ahead and pull that up He verbally stated that US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei during a g20 summit in Japan Not clear which companies are allowed to do business in Huawei not clear exactly what hardware either because he said They can sell hardware that doesn't have a great national emergency problem and They're still on the Commerce Department's entities list Which is like a big issue if you want to sell anything to them, but he's verbally said that you can So I don't think anyone knows what this really means Huawei has apparently scaled back phone production since the ban was announced due to the loss of official Android support and other partnerships and As much as I'd love to say that this means everyone can go back to business as usual That is often not the case when it comes to random off-the-cuff statements. Yeah from this particular leader of the free world so We just thought we'd say hey something was said might happen. It might mean something don't know stuff Nvidia's super graphics cards are out and the word on the street this is according to video cards comm is that in response to Nvidia's super launch of the RTX 2060 super RTX 2070 super and RTX 2080 super AMD is going to lower pricing of their Radeon RX 5700 series Ahead of the launch so they had already announced pricing if I recall correctly Yes, they did for their new Navi series, and I don't believe they have announced what the new pricing will be so right now it's a bit of a mystery and They're really they're really Cutting it close to the wire here aren't they? because the launch is in two days and Incidentally that two days time frame happens to land us on a Sunday Which means that all of their partners like you know stores where people might buy these graphics cards Might not have their business administration staff in the office And I guess this opens up into a pretty sort of Not a rant but into a Grievance that I guess this is an opportunity for me to air AMD needs to stop launching their products on weekends Today we received not what yeah, you know what I don't I don't know I mean everyone knows what's launching and when it's launching today We received not one, but two last-minute updates that affect both of the launches and for that reason We have multiple people on staff here that are being forced to come in on the weekend in order to get our videos done on time It's not right. It's not fair, and it's completely unnecessary. There's a reason why a huge amount of industries release things on Tuesdays You dodge holidays in a huge amount of countries that you might not have planned for on purpose because they One country might have a Monday off for whatever reason so you're fine in terms of long weekends and you have a big part of the week ahead of you to Fix things within standard hours for the whole industry whether it's the person selling your product to end users whether it's your side Offering support etc etc. You have the meat of the week ahead of you, and you don't have problems of long weekends, so instead AMD and their board partners have probably been scrambling last minute To get you know some POS rebates or other kinds of support issued to their their reseller partners In order to make sure that their pricing is competitive And so yeah, it's just it's one of those things that I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't so Unnecessary AMD could have easily launched this on a different day than it is today launched this on a different day of the week a Few days was not going to affect the overall impact of of this launch. You know if they're advertised performance claims or anything to go by It's just rude I just don't get the point and benefit is there and the thing too is like AMD might have thought well We're gonna be ready well enough ahead of time that it's not gonna be a problem But they should really just know themselves a little better at this point This is the second time they've dropped a driver update on us on a Friday before a weekend launch in three launches so like guys Know your own limitations you are never ready on time so with that in mind Plan to not be ready on time and to be sending out last-minute stupid emails about everything that's changed the night before and So that there's some kind of a contingency for all the people that are reliant on you keeping to your word and keeping to your schedule Or at the very least not keeping to your word and not keeping to your schedule, but at least having some kind of plan So it's really really frustrating Speaking of which apparently the re-recordings that I need to do for one of those videos is ready so I might just have to I might just have to I Might just have to cut this WAN show a little bit short so I can get that get that done here Is there anything else that you had really wanted to talk about today? The Amazon thing is not that interesting We can we can run through it real quick and do it really fast sure There's a question should Amazon be held liable for third third party seller of products The US Appeals Court rules that Amazon can be held accountable for faulty third-party sales third party sellers selling either defective or dangerous products items Includes items not directly sold or fulfilled by Amazon. There's a lot of sellers on Amazon I actually kind of wish there wasn't or I wish it was a little bit more obvious It's not that apparent they're buying from some random. Yeah. Yeah, they do they do communicate it. Yeah, but it's not Kind of blasted to you. Yeah, and it's really annoying when it happens because a big part of the reason why at least I shop on Amazon is because I know I'm dealing with Amazon Yeah, and I'm actually not that interested in shopping on Amazon to deal with other groups if I wanted to shop on some random Website with products that might be sketchy or crappy. I would go to a website that specializes in Products that you know might not have been imported correctly or might not adhere to the same safety standards yet You know someone like Amazon would have to make sure that they are So apparently nearly half the items sold on Amazon are through third-party sellers. I actually had no idea. I had no clue either That's kind of why I wonder if that means half the listings Yeah, I have no idea not the actual volume I bet you it's listings not volume. Yeah, cuz the volume Would have to be in order for it to be half of the items like half of the packages. Yeah, and like the vast majority of listings would have to be Non-Amazon listings because I'm sure Amazon watches for anything with high volume stocks. Yeah. Yeah Amazon basic Yeah Now we have our own version haha Amazon basics But plug Give it time I was gonna say one day There's been no comment by Amazon yet So the the origin of the case was apparently a gal by the name of Heather Aberdorf who sued the company in federal court back in 2016 when a retractable dog leash snapped and Whipped back at her causing permanent loss of vision in her left eye So the lower court will rule on whether the leash itself was defective But that's where this whole debate seems to have come from right?
