 Oh yeah, we should talk about YouTube heroes. Hey guys. I don't know what the next one is. Oh, no, no, I'm done filming now. No, no, no. Good try. Good try, but I'm done filming. I hope I hope everything's working. Everything's working, right? Welcome to the land show. Oh man, it has been an intense week between me and Luke. We scripted 11, no 12, 12 videos this week. Okay, you did a lot then. Holy crap. What the hell? Because I did four. Yeah. Okay. I have been appreciate that you bundled me in that fully, but just to add some context. I'm trying to I'm trying to make sure that is a lot just so people like understand four is like four is okay. So we do when show every week. That's one of our seven weekly LTT uploads. Yeah. So if each Luke and I do three then that covers everything we need to do for the week. Yeah. Because that's our six uploads. So if we produce 12 in a week, then what that means is that in the event that Linus's wife who was induced this morning gives birth in the next 18 or so hours like she did last time. She was induced. What's happened. It's just like how it's supposed to work. Then we will have a full additional week based on what we produced this week a full additional week of content that will allow Linus to spend some time with his brand new baby. That that is and then if I keep where we're at for a week, then we'll only rot at two videos a week as time goes on. Yes, which is not that bad. So maybe so maybe I will be able to take some time. It's really funny. Like I never actually take my kind of vacation time like since I started working at NCIX. I think I've taken one time off that I would actually consider to be a vacation and it was like it was like early on in the days when basically I like got home and I was living with my girlfriend's parents and we would like get home and play Team Fortress 2. Like my life really wasn't that hard anyway. Yeah. But since then it's always been like some trip from hell to Asia with two infants or like when I've had a child. So I think I took about seven work days off when I had my daughter. But this time the plan is and this has actually been kind of incredible like our team is now 15 strong as of the new salesperson that we've added who starts not this coming Monday, but the following Monday. Okay, now 15 strong and the team is now structured such that I am hoping to take two to three weeks off to enjoy with my new child to be fair out of all of those new hires from three people to 15 people. You haven't added anyone that's going to help with what you do. The core on LTT. No. Yeah, on Superfund and on Tech Quickie. I have okay, but Superfund used to be a much smaller commit. Yes, and Tech Quickie was a lot of work for me. Yeah. Although we didn't do three to four Tech Quickies a week the way that we do now. And there were yeah, the original ones were okay. The original original ones. I think they were just a little low hanging. I don't think they're necessarily bad. They were just very low hanging. They were very low hanging. They were low hanging like the balls of a potent stallion actually know stallion balls are actually kind of tight to the body. So I like what has low good thing. What has low hanging balls? I'm sure Twitch chat knows Twitch chat can please please let us know Twitch. What are we even talking? Do we have topics? Probably no longer low hanging balls. I can I can get us some topics here. There's one. Okay for topics today. Yahoo confirms a 500 million account breach for people who will never even know that this breach occurred because let's face it. They are not that Twitch or Twitch savvy Internet savvy. Yeah, they have Yahoo accounts. Yeah, moving on total biscuits tumor is down 50% in size. That is excellent news. That is so good. Is it okay? I know because of like a new treatment and stuff and that's after a very small amount of sessions. I know that inoperable means that it cannot be operated. But is it operable if it can be operated on? I would assume so. I don't know English is stupid and medical stuff gets crazy. So you've got that combination. I don't know. Okay, which I mean flammable and inflammable same thing. So like rip English. Yeah, what else we got Palmer lucky is financing Trump memes. So well, they're more like anti Hillary memes. Well, we'll get into it. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, and Apple patents a paper bag. So, yeah, maybe you can store your lunch bag. Is it because it could have an apple in it? Oh, that's not even funny. That's not even like an odd damn moment. That's just stupid. That's okay. I really appreciate you like the words looking at you. Sorry. I can try and make eight videos in there, which is why a lot of the time. So that's a thing. Okay. Well, it's done now. So good job Colton. So Yahoo has confirmed 500 million accounts breached. We have article from I believe the Wall Street Journal. I got it already here. I'll share Luke screen. Boom. There you go. Oh, Twitchception. So yeah, at least 500 million user accounts. They're probably taking a little bit away from that for like people that haven't actually accessed their Yahoo account for the last six years. I mean 500 million accounts. I mean, is that the entire population of North America? More than that. Canada has like 35 million. The States has like 335 million or so like 330, 340. I don't know how many people live in Mexico, but like it can't be that many like a holy crap. Yeah. Is this is this the biggest account ever potentially? Yeah. Yeah, I guess because we don't fully know how every single one of them has gone then we don't technically know if it is the biggest but it is potentially the biggest. I mean do 500 million people have Yahoo accounts. How many of them are dead? Like how many of them have passed away? Yeah, like actually people who have passed away. A lot of these are probably people who like oh when I was 10, I made an email account called like Sephiroth XXX69boy and now I have replaced that with my real name and then at Yahoo like there's probably a lot of those going on. Frighteningly enough Sephiroth porn is probably a thing. I just I remember like when I was younger and into video games. It seems like every second dude that I ran past was like XXX Sephiroth XXX. It's just like the big and the small. Yeah, the big X's in the middle. Yeah, I know. I know. You know what was your like I'm a little kid email. Okay, I'm gonna do Yvonne's first. Okay, so Yvonne's was Sweetheart09 at hotmail.com with underscore sweet underscore heart underscore zero nine and her display name always had like those things with the asterisks and the thing on the other side. It was perfect. It was awful. It was awful. It's a it's amazing that I ever fell in love with her because that's terrible. With that said my cringe like first email address is moomo underscore the underscore cow at hotmail.com. Oh my God. Yeah, someone actually acquired it from me like really later on down the line like it went inactive and like someone got it. Otherwise, I would have kept it. I totally would have kept that, you know, quite frankly, my new one is not that much better, but it's funnier if you like get the joke. Yeah. I mean, I don't even care. I don't even monitor anymore. I just keep it more out of sentimental value than anything else. So I'll tell you guys what it is, but it's the underscore peanuts underscore gallery. It's just so long at hotmail.com. It's really long. It's hard to type. But what's funny about it and the thing okay, this is important to me both of my email addresses were unique. They did not have numbers at the end of them because especially 10 years ago, there was really no excuse for that come up with something original. Don't be sephiroff. You know, six nine six nine six nine six nine because all the other six nines were taken. Okay. So they were both unique and the peanuts gallery is actually pretty funny because you know, my personality of being loud and outspoken and sometimes wrong is is is directly sort of like it is kind of similar to what we what you would expect from the peanut gallery who I forgive me if I have the origin of the term wrong, but it dates back to I think Shakespearean times when the peanut gallery was the standing audience in the theater. The the poor people who like left a lot of peanuts. Peanut remains left on the floor. So like they were kind of like and they would like they would yell during the show. They were uncouth. So so I called myself the peanut gallery and then I'm the peanuts gallery because my name is one of the characters in the comic strip peanuts by Charles Schultz Linus. So I was like, haha, I am so clever. This is unique. No one else would ever want this email. Also because it's so damn long. Yeah. Okay. So what's your cringe email pretty bad. I technically didn't make it but I was totally down with it and used it ladies boy 54 54 was my latest boy. I didn't want to use man because I was too young. I didn't self identify as a man at that point in time. I self identified as a boy. Oh, I'm so triggered right now. So it was yeah ladies but apparently I was into older women because I use ladies instead of girls. Well girls boy 54 just doesn't really even mean anything. Sounds a little weird. Yeah. So it was it was lady. Yeah. Ladies boy 54 at hotmail.com. Yeah, that was I actually tried to get it back. I remember when I finally abandoned it. I just made its password something crazy so no one would ever get into it and then now it's just gone. I tried to like get it back the other day and like see what I used to do. I don't even remember what brought this on anyway. I'm definitely curious what ladies boy 54 like why were you trying to get it the other day? No, not the other day. Oh, like quite some time. I don't remember when but like I went back to try to like, oh, can I get my old email back all the older women in the audience are freaking out by the way because they're like they have a chance now. All the older women like my mom. She could be freaking out right now. Probably because she's embarrassed. But yeah, there's there's probably an extreme lack of that currently watching. Yeah. But yeah, that was that was my old email. Oh, that's funny. Hooray. Have we even covered a topic yet? Oh, yeah, the Yahoo thing. Oh, that's excellent. Okay, good. Um, so I don't know, we haven't actually really talked about any of the details of the breach. So I guess, oh, the reason my laptop is running so poorly is that heaven still thought it was like running on an external monitor or something. Oh, that's, that's very inconvenient. Yeah, who believes the hackers are no longer in its corporate network. That's probably good. The company said that it didn't believe that unprotected passwords, payment card data or bank account information had been affected. Okay. Do they say what was affected? Yeah, I'm trying to figure that out. Blah, blah, blah, investigating claims, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's unlikely to affect the terms of the Verizon deal. So that's good, even though they said that they weren't aware of any security breaches on September 9. So intrusion happened in late 2014. So by now, like, oh, man. Wow. Basically they didn't even really start investigating until July when Yahoo was started looking into claims by hackers who were offering to sell 280 million Yahoo usernames and passwords. Oh, they said that the information for sale wasn't legit though, and eventually determined that they had been breached by a state sponsored actor. So we'll, we'll kind of stay tuned, I guess, and see how many of our grandparents should probably change their Yahoo account passwords. And my girlfriend, stop using that email. She uses Yahoo? Yeah. Why? You know, like, I, I like subtly roasted her for this, like a, like, while ago on the WAN show, but now like, come on. My aunt who has been retired for the last five years uses Hotmail at least. Hotmail is even better though. I know. Yeah. You're on the Outlook platform and stuff now. Yeah. It's fine. It's just an, it's just an older name. Yeah. Oh man, that's garbage. That's disappointing. All right. Researchers lead the way towards a method of unhackable internet communication. Okay. Grain of salt. Oh, oh, oh yeah. No. Okay. So I see where this is going. So quantum state kind of internet networking stuff is iffy because if you try to intercept it before it gets to its destination, the data inside will change. So it could be hacked sort of, but they won't get what you were trying to send. If that makes sense. And there would still be means of part of the problem is that the use of the word hack has become so perverted from the, from the actual definition that... Because like a very effective hack in this scenario could be to hit everything and make it so that each side can't communicate with each other properly because everything that's going in each direction is scrambled. Yes. Or another hack could be as simple as installing screen recording software on someone else, on someone's computer and intercepting the data that way. You don't have to, you know, be all like CSI, like intercepting transmission, retransmit, like it doesn't... Hack the coffee mug. Like it's not... It's upside down now. Yeah. Way to go. Way to go. I tried. But then they can't see because it's behind the back. That's not the only means of hacking and lots of forms of hacking, including social engineering hacks, will very much still exist and this will do absolutely nothing to at all help fight against that. And like social engineering is not hacking. Yeah. It's not. It constantly gets used in that way. But we call it that. Like, you know, oh, Linus's Twitter got hacked. No. No. In the purest sense of the word, Linus's Twitter account was compromised. Yep. And that was not hacked because calling it a hack would be giving the folks involved in that far too much credit. Way too much credit. Yeah. All right. So anyway, basically it's a group from the University of Calgary that teleported the quantum state of a photon to a location 6.2 kilometers away using fiber optic cable. Researchers in Shanghai sent states of photons 14.7 kilometers across that city. So they believe that widespread adoption of quantum teleportation technology could usher in a new era of unhackable internet communication. The first step, though, is figuring out how to send that quantum information over the vast distances, we're talking not a few kilometers, of fiber optic networks that span the entire globe. Although, like, internal land connections at extremely secure facilities using this could be pretty cool. That would be pretty cool. Yep. And, basically, I mean... Hmm. So okay, so... The rest of it is kind of what we covered earlier. Yeah, the rest of it is, like, pretty techy-speak, but pretty much pairs of particles are linked together through unique properties or states. And then that means that only the two parties who have the entangled particles can read the information sent between them, which is pretty cool. Hackers trying to eavesdrop would introduce detectable anomalies, and the two parties could abort their communication. So this is the kind of thing that I see being more like a military thing within any kind of reasonable period of time. Reasonable period of time. And I don't know if it would ever make its way to your Wi-Fi router. For a number of reasons. So don't just consider, like, oh, these guys are saying that technology isn't going to advance. Like, that's not necessarily what we're saying. There could even be legal reasons. The government likes to have ways to sniff on your stuff. So they literally might not make this possible for you. I can sniff my stuff any time they want. It won't smell good, but that's their problem. It might smell good. You just get out of the shower, it's all right. All right. This is freaking hilarious. So incredibly not surprised. Haven't we been saying this for so long? I actually, it's, you know what? It's not something that we've, like, ranted on. But it's definitely something that we have talked about internally a lot. Turns out Facebook was inflating their video view stats for two years. Miscalculation likely led to an overestimated viewing time of 60 to 80 percent. Oh my God. That's insane. This was according to a letter sent to an ad buying agency that was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. So basically, Facebook has been trumpeting that they are the next destination for online video. That they get X number of views. Like you look at any video on Facebook, it has a view counter under it. And they've been saying that, yeah, so they've been saying that they are like, you know, closing in on YouTube for the most viewed online video platforming, blubbity, blubbity, blubbity. But the truth of the matter is that the way that they're counting is ridiculous. I mean, they autoplay the video as you scroll through. And I can't remember. Actually, Nick Light is the expert on this stuff. I kind of wish you would come down and take my spot here because he'd be able to say a lot more about it than I would. But I think that Facebook, so YouTube counts a view after, I think it's something to the tune of 15 to 30 seconds. Facebook is almost immediate. Facebook is like two seconds. So YouTube is kind of looking at it where they've had a lot of data over the years, finding out how long it takes to capture a viewer. And if you watch for under that amount of time, it considers that you didn't capture the viewer. So that's not a view and it doesn't count it. If you watch for a significant enough time so you're past the average time that people would bail if they're not that interested, then it counts as a view. Go ahead. You got my chair. I was literally just finished the meeting and turned on the land show and Linus is like, I wish Nick would come downstairs and take my chair. So anyway, what do I need to talk about? Facebook views compared to YouTube views, how they're calculated, yada yada. It's funny because I've been saying this forever. No, I know. Yeah. Because you have it standard that videos autoplay, make people disable it. So grandma watches every single video that's on her timeline, watches. Because technically, I'm not exactly sure how Facebook counts a view. I know on YouTube, it's something to the tune of a number of seconds. I don't know what the number of seconds is. But if Facebook is saying that one second is one view and they're autoplaying on pretty much anyone who's not slightly tech savvy's timelines, then that's a lot of views that are not actually views. So anyway, it's just like, it's something that I've been talking about internally here for a long time that I was speculating essentially that Facebook may have been overinflating their view numbers and it appears that that may have in fact been allegedly correct. Yeah, by the tune of 60 to 80% apparently, which is hilariously awesome. Because I actually personally hate Facebook video and that's not just because like, where are YouTube people? It just sucks. It's just not good. The amount of times that I'm like, oh, OK, I actually do want to watch this and then the player just like fails. It's like, what? I don't know. And that's like an ins... sorry, is it 60 to 80% inflation on view number or view through duration? Do we know? Estimated viewing time. Estimated viewing time of 60 to 80%. Like how? And like that's the main metric that YouTube is even going for right now is how much people are watching. Yeah, watch time. What's actually great about that is that that doesn't even address the ridiculous view counts in. Yeah, right. So view counts could be 300% higher. Yeah, yeah. A thousand percent higher. So like I was saying, if they're counting every single second, if every person who watches the video for one second counts as a view, you could easily be looking at hundreds of percent inflation on view numbers. So this is all speculation and allegedly and disclaimers and all that. I'm sure they're not going to exactly publish all this kind of stuff, but this is how it feels like it works from like a fair amount of observation. The second I saw that they started to do autoplay, I was like, oh, they're trying to push up numbers. Yeah. That's the only reason. Yeah. I mean, I guess they could argue that it's for convenience sake. I would actually love it if Facebook became more of a legitimate video sharing platform. It would be great because we kind of need something that properly competes with YouTube. We tried doing it consistently for like a while and we should still be doing it consistently, but we're not always doing it consistently. And that is a lot in many cases due to the fact that it's so sporadic. Yeah. Like, it's so dependent on not only just keywords and likes and all that like it is on YouTube, but it's so dependent on whether people are sharing it. Because if you don't get a share, it's like, well, this video got 300 views. Yeah. And if you get a couple of shares, it's like- If you get a share and that person has 400 friends and all their 400 friends scroll down their news feed, then it's like, oh, wow, there's 400 more views, even though 1% of those people were actually interested. I think 7 Gamers has like over a million views on Facebook because it got shared. And some of our normal videos have like a thousand. So like, what am I supposed to do? Anyway. Oh man. So, I mean, to be clear, it's not like they're getting busted on this and they were still trying to hide it. They did come clean. I mean, this came from a letter they sent to an ad buying agency. Although I wonder if they're coming clean because they needed some kind of reason for why advertising on Facebook video performed so poorly. Do you know what I mean? Maybe they're just proactively kind of addressing it so that no one digs further and kind of goes like, if a million people watch this and like one person orders the new Dyson miracle vacuum or whatever, like really? One out of a million? Like, we run banner ads that are more effective than that. Really? Oh, that's a dig. So anyway, speaking of YouTube though, should we jump down to YouTube heroes? Let's definitely do YouTube heroes. You know what's so funny about the name of this is that it's exactly like the condescending derogatory term that someone would use for people who white knight around on the internet reporting stuff. YouTube heroes. It's like, good job, hero. You reported a video that had a bad word in it. Good for you. But to be clear, I do think that the YouTube heroes program has the potential to offer a lot of benefit to the YouTube community at large. And we'll go ahead and we'll fire up the YouTube heroes page here so you guys can have a look at it. It's a Google support page here. But there is also, like everything Google does, like how do they not? They are the most- This could be very cool if what happened was when enough heroes flag something, it gets manual actual person oversight afterwards. That's not going to happen. But if that did happen, that could be actually kind of cool. And I don't understand why Google doesn't understand this because they are the internet companyist of internet companies. Okay, no, they do have a physical product. Basically Google Glass is a physical product. And Chromecast. And Chromecast is, okay, so they do have physical products. But all of their physical products are internet, okay. Our internet, is that even- I don't really think so. Don't worry about it. IOT. Whatever, okay. They're like, they were forged in the fires of Mount Internet, okay. And they've got the internet ring, okay, ring bus, token ring, I'm trying to bring this back. Not happening. Topology. What are you talking about? Ring topology. What? Okay, basically there's no excuse for Google to implement things that appear to internet denizens like us as though they've never seen the way online communities interact before. Yeah. So people will, people will become heroes for the sole purpose of trolling the crap out of people. H3H3 actually said it in a really interesting way. If you go to the YouTube Heroes video page and you see the ludicrous amount of dislikes and then you look down a little bit further and you notice that YouTube has disabled comments on the video. That Ethan pointed out that if you're scared of those people, those are very directly the people that are going to enter this program and are going to troll the crap out of you and everyone else on this platform. So we haven't actually explained what it is yet, which we should probably do. So heroes level up. Like does this just feel like an executive with gray hair, like was sitting in a board room. So the kids these days, they like the video games and there's the, in the video games, there's the hero, right? And you, and the hero levels up, you get experience and then you, you, yeah, you level up and then becomes more powerful and gains abilities. Interesting. Yeah. We should gamify the most boring part of the entire platform. Moderating it. Yeah. Okay. So that's what it's for. Heroes also, there are other bits and these bits are cool. If you subtitle things, you can get like points towards your hero thing and subtitling things is awesome. And I think there's something else. I was going to go through the whole list. Okay. So here goes level up by doing what he said, sharing their knowledge effectively with other users on the YouTube help forum is another big one. By flagging inappropriate videos. That's where the problem lies. And each type of contribution is worth a certain number of points. So accurate reports of videos that violate community guidelines is one point. Contributing a subtitle edit that gets published is another point. Answering a user question on the YouTube help forum with a comment selected as the best answer is 10 points. So they say- They don't have captions in there. Are they considering subtitles the same as captions? Cause those are actually- Adding captions and subtitles to videos are both- No, I know. But then it says down below when it says actually earn points, it says contributing a subtitle edit that gets published equals one point. I'm pretty sure they mean captions and subtitles. I think for the purposes of- I actually, I think there is a subtle difference between them, but I don't remember what it is. I think that captions are native language. And subtitles can be either. I think. I'm not sure. That sounds right to me. That's what I was going to say, I think. Okay. So maybe we're right. And if we're not, then Twitch chat will yell at us, but I'm not looking at it right now. So I don't care. I'm going to look. I care about you. All right. So it's currently in beta. It's subject to change. So effectively, you can unlock rewards, which is kind of here. Let's go ahead and unlock rewards. So hero levels. Level one, become a hero, zero to nine points. You can access the hero's dashboard and join the community. A level two hero learns at exclusive workshops and can take part in hero hangouts. Can you imagine? That would be even worse than being in a student government meeting. Close captioning is like listening to a video for the deaf and subtitles is just. Yeah. But effectively they're both texts at the bottom. They usually look different. So sub closed captioning usually has a black background and subtitles usually are like a, like a, um, a black drop shadow on white text. Like it's sort of weird. Yeah. It's, it's just, I don't think that's enough of an answer, but yeah, there you go. Can you imagine like being in a hero hangout? Like just I'm hanging out with all the people who moderate. Like I'm not saying that inappropriate content on YouTube is a good thing. And I'm not saying like it doesn't need to be moderated. And I'm not, I'm also not saying that in the very, very long term with properly vetted heroes, this program has the potential to be better than an automated system. So I'm not saying any of those things. I'm just saying that there is so much room for human error that didn't exist before. And people who sit around and moderate YouTube videos might be nerds. Apparently people, a few people have actually said that we're right with some tales. Okay, cool. Uh, level three, you get access to super tools and this is where it gets scary. You only need a hundred points. How easily could you abuse the system to get a hundred points on this? An insane thing too is like, if you think about it, you could have your friends not to fuel the fire more. You could have your friends ask a question on the YouTube. Ten questions. That's it. You get 10 points and you can even make them look pretty legit as long as the person just selects best answer and it looks pretty legit. 10 points. That's right. And then you get to mass flag abusive videos, which is like terrible. So we've actually already had some flags come in. Yeah. So I think the issue that someone flagged us for is completely irrelevant. These come in every once in a while and it's fine because YouTube, I believe has changed the procedure on them. I used to have to dispute them individually and my inaction would lead to the video being pulled. But people have said that you can flag a video saying that it must have closed captioning. If it originally aired on TV in the United States, that's like a rule. So people can flag it saying, I think this video must have closed captioning. And it used to be that I would get my monetization removed if nothing else on those videos if I didn't demonstrate that my video was not a TV show at some point in time. And I'm sitting here going, this is ridiculous. So I think we got hit with a mass flag of those already. I'm just kind of like, okay, that's Charlie Minor, I guess. At level four, you get to sneak preview product launches and contact YouTube staff directly, which is amazing because it took me until a year and a half ago to have direct contact with YouTube staff. That might be bad because it might clog the system. And getting closer to YouTube, a thousand plus points means you can test products before release and apply for the Heroes Summit, which sounds like the most boring possible place you could ever go. But you know what? Power to you if you're into that sort of thing. I mean, maybe they'll bring like celebrity YouTubers to the summit or something so you can meet PewDiePie or whatever. Like I don't know. YouTube has the kind of money that would allow them to afford to do that. I doubt PewDiePie likes this though. Yeah, I mean- And I doubt PewDiePie needs the money. The super popular people- He releases a lot of videos like trolling the crap out of YouTube because they keep doing stupid stuff. Fair enough. So- I mean, basically it's maybe eventually, it's like so many... You know what? Okay. It comes back to exactly the same conversation I was having about the way that they were cracking down on non-advertiser friendly content. Right now, it's terrible. Give it another couple of years and they'll probably have worked out the kinks, but that doesn't change the fact that this is going to create a lot of unnecessary busy work for people who are just trying to use the platform legitimately and running around and pinning like, you know, merit badges on people for reporting stuff that, you know, might not technically be within the community guidelines, but like, come on. The community guidelines are... You could pull down a lot of content on YouTube based on the community guidelines and it would, in my opinion, destroy a lot of, you know, the things that people were whining about with the whole advertiser safe policies thing. It could destroy a lot of the free speech and openness of YouTube to have people running around flagging anything that offends them. A lot of community guidelines are in place so that if you go far enough, they can hit you with a book, not necessarily so they can actually be enforced 100% all the time for everyone. Yeah. So, yeah, this is great. 23NT13NT, great username. Ah, it says hall monitors. Yes. Yeah. That is... YouTube has basically implemented a hall monitor system. Which was always terrible. Which was always terrible. So, SJW report system. Yeah, like basically that seems to be what we're looking at. That sounds like the most boring summit that anybody could be at. What would be its purpose? Do you go around and meet other people who like abusing moderation powers? I think in the right community, getting like... We call them moderators actually, like on our community forum, but getting together community leaders is what I would think of them as more like. Yeah, and... Could be cool. When you have that, it's a contained community that's supposed to generally be about one thing, and you have a relatively small compared to the entirety of YouTube subset of users, and there's essentially one category. It is a tech forum. These guys are just like, go on YouTube and look at whatever you want and click the buttons. Like, I don't know. Like if you don't understand the humor of a channel, and they're doing like satire or something that's a little bit edgy, and then you decide to flag it because you're like, this is bad content, you don't realize it's a joke. That could go bad. And I am not just salty that I do not have any hall passes, okay? And that I was not selected for student body president. Okay? I wasn't ever student body president. I was on the student council. Hillary was student body president. I was on the student council, and I never went, and they got really sad about it, but I didn't actually apply. They just put me on the student council. So I was like, I'm not going. And they were like, you have to go. I was like, I'm not going. There's no way I would ever do that. I wouldn't even want you on student council. Why? That's rude. You'd be all like, we need more showers at the school. Well, we... Nope, we had enough there. We had enough there? We don't have enough here. We should get showers here. Ah, see? See? Exactly what I was afraid of. Let's do ad spots. Squarespace! You could make a website about a shower if you wanted. If we did enough Squarespace spots, maybe we could afford Luke's shower. That is why Squarespace. No, that is not why Squarespace. Squarespace lets you build a beautiful website that looks great at your computer, on your phone or in the shower. Similar to how you would look great once you get out of the shower. On your phone. On the new iPhone 7. Yeah. That's water resistant. Thank you. Water resistant. I appreciate that. See that? Right there. That's me listening to you, buddy. They offer 24-7 support via live chat and email. It's only 12 bucks a month to start and you get a free domain if you buy Squarespace for the year. All their websites include a commerce module, a free online store and cover pages. A feature that lets you set up a beautiful one-page online presence in just minutes. Maybe your page is like a shower and as you scroll down, you go further down the shower and the whole time you're like, oh my goodness, there's going to be a person. And then you have an iPhone underwater. That would actually be kind of a funny website. Just like, you know those ones where it's like, it's a big image and you just see like the slit and like it could just go down, down, down. Is there going to be a dick? Is there going to be a dick? Is there going to be a dick? No, it's an iPhone 7. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. We should, someone, someone should make that website. Probably. On Squarespace. Yeah. And if they did so, then they wouldn't have to pay for the first 14 days because Squarespace offers a free trial that lets anyone try it, see how easy it is to use before buying and deciding to use offer code when to save 10% when they decide that that website really needs to be on the internet forever because it's an important piece of artwork. Speaking of important pieces of artwork, tools are not really art. And iFixit makes tool kits that someone put away improperly. Someone put away improperly. And this is my kit, but it was in the workshop. So I don't know what happened there. Are all the pieces there? Are you going to have to rage face? It looks like all the pieces are there. But are they in the right spots? I've had people put my kit back with the pieces not in the right spots. I'm like, I'm sitting here looking at it going, okay, like the kits are great. Everything is clearly labeled. It is. You can, you can obviously tell what goes where. This is the 64 bit driver kit. So I won't run on Windows XP, but as long as you've got Windows Vista or later, or actually technically there was a Windows XP X64 edition, but it was terrible. No one used it. No one used that. I actually did run it for a little while. Did you, did it, it worked? Oh yeah. Most people I know of that had it, it like crashed a lot and stuff. It was actually stable on my machine. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was one of those things. Anyway, iFixit has, what do they have? They have, right, they have guides for DIY electronics repair. Whether it's your, whether it's your iMac, your tablet, your phone, whatever the case may be. I have saved enough using iFixit guides to tear down machines and often repair them in ways that cost me very little money that I could easily have afforded to buy myself an army of iFixit repair kits. Not that I need one because all iFixit repair kits are backed by their lifetime warranty. In fact, my iFixit repair kit, my original one that I bought over, holy crap, I've had it for three and a half years now. LMG is almost four years old. It's weird, right? Yeah, I know. Like actually really close to four years old. Yeah, like soon. Anyway, my original one still works so well that iFixit had to yell at me and tell me to stop using it on camera because it's old and outdated and they're supposed to be, I'm supposed to be doing sponsor spots for the new one, but my old one still works exactly perfectly in every way. We're getting closer to me working with you for six years. Then whoa, then nothing, I guess. But we're getting close to that. I was thinking like all my previous jobs combined, but that's not actually quite true yet. We're getting close. We're getting close. We're getting close. Also in the ProTech Toolkit, which is the one that we actually have these awesome embroidered ones that they sent us. Which is why I know that someone put it back in the workshop when they took it from me. So they've got like ESD safe tweezers. Hey, you still have all your covers for your tweezers and stuff. You're doing good. They've got little pokers and pratters and prying tools. They've got their other prying tools, the suction cup, the ESD strap that doesn't look like it's ever been taken out along with the other little spatula thing and the other like pry tool. It's great. The tweezers and stuff have been used, but yeah, that has never been taken out. Most of what you need to work on pretty much any small device is included in the kit. And I can't say enough about how much time and money I've saved with iFixit kits. And I have to say the first kit or at least the last kit that we had, I don't know if that's technically the first kit, was great. But this one is a lot easier to keep things tidy within the kit. And that's actually really cool. So you can get the all new ProTech Tool Kit. It's not really that new anymore, but my notes are old. And get going on your next fix hacker rebuild by just heading over to ifixit.com slash Linus to save five bucks on a purchase of $10 or more. And they have a lot more than just the tool kits. They have like replacement gaskets for like iMacs. Like they have replacement parts. The things that you'll break when you take something apart, they a lot of the time have stuff that will allow you to actually put things back together, which is really helpful. All right, moving on to our next topic. We actually have not covered a lot of topics today. We've done like three. Okay, so the original article here is from the dailybeast.com. Polymer Lucky, the Facebook near billionaire, secretly funding Trump's meme machine. Yeah. So basically he is providing financial backing and it's apparently he has confirmed this to the daily beast. He is providing financial backing for a group that circulates dirty memes about Hillary Clinton even going as far as to buy physical billboard space for a meme about how Hillary is too big to jail. And that's the one that's in the image right here. Yeah. Nimble America. Now whether or not this is even legal is actually kind of a gray area right now because under the US tax code something something, Nimble America can't spend more than 50% of its resources backing a candidate unless it also does all these other things or something something etc. but the fact that it's happening at all basically he's so he's putting money behind an unofficial Donald Trump group dedicated to shitposting and circulating internet memes maligning Hillary Clinton. I mean what is this? I kind of think that people should probably put a little bit more investment into these two particular lines that are actually quotes from him. The first one is I've got plenty of money. The second one is money is not my issue. I thought it sounded like a really jolly time. If you look back and do a little bit more deeper searching instead of just taking this article and a couple other ones at the surface go far enough back there's pro Bernie tweets on his Twitter. Retweets tweets from himself all that kind of stuff. He was pro Bernie in the background in the back when Bernie was still running I guess. And I kind of think what's happening now is he's just like well my horse is out of the race time to just be a supreme troll. And he's literally just doing what he says in that quote where it says money is not my issue I thought it sounded like a really jolly good time. I think Bernie is out so he's just like let's burn some fires and have some fun and troll and have a jolly good time. I'm not trying to defend his actions. Yeah I really don't think that's helpful right now. I just think that people are taking it as something that it isn't and you can still be mad and pitchforky over what I just said. I don't care. I just think that that's probably more where it's coming from. And it also seems like more like a thing that he would do is just troll around. I generally don't like trolling. I'm not trying to defend this. I'm just saying I think this is the more accurate way to approach what's happening. This is a really immature move and I mean it shouldn't surprise me that much. The guy is really young and I think his estimated net worth based on some of the articles I was reading when I was looking into this something like 700 million dollars. I don't think anyone knows exactly how much he got paid from the Facebook buyout but it was a lot. And I think like is he just is he just like cranky and bored. Like is that what this comes down to. Yeah I kind of think so. Like I don't actually know obviously because we only have the quotes that are out there but I think he's looking at this selection as honestly what it is which is a complete mess in like every possible way you can look at it. Rockin hard place. Yeah and just going like well let's just screw around because obviously everyone else is screwing around. So I'm going to do it the way I do it which is by tossing some money around and having fun with the Internet. And you can you can all judge that however you please. Oh man. Yeah the the Twitch chat is just like this is great. Why don't you guys report on Mark Cuban who's going after Trump every day. No one goes after Trump. Trump creates the Trumpness. Like you don't have to go after Trump. But then like yeah. Yeah I mean I think I think I can't read this person's Twitch username because it's like bright green but the point is to vote for who actually respects your constitutional rights and is actually willing to defend them and actually knows his head from his butt. And I agree with that and unfortunately the system is broken enough that that isn't happening. I don't think we need to get way too into politics directly. You guys can all go watch. Yeah. What was it called? Well there's a there's going to be a debate coming or that. No our thing. Which thing. When we built the computers. Oh yeah you can go watch. Oh what do we call that show. I don't like the name. I don't remember. Tech Showdown. Yeah. Tech Showdown episode 2 I think. I think it's a good name. I don't think it's a good YouTube name. Yeah. I think it's a good like TV show name. Yeah. Yeah. So. Alright so good luck everyone. I'm pretty sure he's just trolling. And at this point with how the election is going I literally don't think it's going to make a difference. The too big to jail thing is an actually very arguable point. Yep. I did. And I haven't seen any of the other memes they've made but that one's really not that bad. I don't know. I think people do like to glom on to some of the anti Trump things that I've said and go like oh he's a Hillary supporter. I'm not. I'm Canadian so fortunately I actually don't have to make a decision on election day. Which is great. Which is great for me. I can just kind of point out everything that's completely ridiculous about both of them. But Trump is more hilarious. Like I have never paid closer attention to any political anything than I have to the 2016 US election. It has been better than every book I've read every TV show I've ever followed and every movie I have ever watched. That's really sad. In terms of entertainment value. That's really sad. It's hilarious. I don't find it funny. Oh. At all. Really? I find it really depressing. I find this a little bit more funny than how the election is going. Because this feels like a troll. It feels like a joke. I think it's legitimately a joke. I think he's legitimately screwing around. I think Trump is a living breathing joke. Oh yeah but like that's a living breathing joke that might go in office and like control things. And both of them are that. I don't agree with either of them. Okay. Like so. Fair enough. When like this is probably literally a joke. I could be behind this more. I guess so. I don't know. I think this little joke could contribute to putting Trump in office. I don't think it's gonna change. Is it funny anymore at that point Luke? I don't think it's gonna change anything. Is it funny anymore? I don't think it's gonna change anything. I think as of right now no one's really flip-flopping sides. If you've chosen one of them I'm pretty sure you're there. The polls are all over the place. I don't know man. Yeah but the polls are all bullshit. Like yes and no. I mean every time Trump attacks like a widow or whatever. And okay. Not to like aside too hard. It's still first past the post is it not? I don't remember. So the election just doesn't matter in my opinion. Because it's just all bullshit anyways. So just everything's bullshit. You have two crazy people running for office. You're sounding like Trump. You're sounding like Trump. It's a rigged system man. It's a rigged system. The system's rigged. I'm not even saying that. San Francisco is getting tiny self-driving robots that could put delivery people out of a job. It's actually very interesting because while the whole drone delivery thing is very headline grabby. This is way more practical. Safer. More economical. That is to say if they don't get stolen that often. Which I'm sure will be a thing at some point or another. And way more likely a future than what I see happening. I mean this is the way to handle the last mile that addresses the problems with current couriers. Like the cost associated with people driving vehicles around and delivering things. The cost associated with fuel involved in driving those vehicles around. If these things could be cheap and fast enough and easily replaceable enough to have enormous fleets of them then it could actually become truly more economical to order things online than to go and pick them up in bulk at stores. And this should be terrifying to brick and mortar retail. Absolutely terrifying. More so than to delivery people who will still have to be involved in larger shipments and customs brokerage and that kind of stuff for quite a while moving into the future. So the startup, what's the startup called Starship Technologies? Yeah it's an autonomous robot. I don't think Linus is saying that he wants to put people out of jobs. No I'm saying that it will happen so we better be ready for it. You know what you can cry socialist all you want but at the end of the day if we create enough technology that people legitimately have nothing to do and have all of their base needs taken care of we're going to have to figure out something. There's like there's arguments on each side. There's one that's going like in no recordable time in history ever has a new technology wake actually made it so that there's less jobs. It's just changed where the jobs are but then there's a counter argument which I agree with more which is this is just job removal and mass. This isn't actually like just making your lives easier it's just directly replacing people. I mean let's look at the icebox. I love ice harvesting. It's like it's hilariously out of date and it wasn't that long ago. Like crazy like like trains of ice okay like crossing America to deliver ice from the ice harvesting caves to people's ice boxes. All right like like there was an entire infrastructure built around this industry and then boom refrigeration. But refrigeration requires jobs maybe more skilled jobs which isn't necessarily a bad thing because educational standards have by and large been improving since the early 1900s but overall the jobs were replaced. Things that people did were replaced by things that other people did. So netnet maybe you even gained jobs like you do it many times as this whole thing progresses. It's more convenient for the people that are using the thing. That's right. However looking at some of the automated things that are happening now replacing the person who flips burgers with a machine that flips burgers. Replacing the mechanic who changes the oil in your car by hand because every car is different with a machine that just swaps the battery on your Model S in what was it like 10 minutes. It's less than it takes to fill up your tank of gas. Something along those lines. Exactly what it was. Not a lot of time. Now we're talking about people who actually just don't have any work to do. And it's very different. End to end replacement. Not only are you just replacing the guy that flips the burger. You're replacing every other line of cooking that's in there. You're also replacing selling things to people. The food delivery. You're also replacing the food delivery. You're also replacing the food harvesting to some degree. You're also replacing everything. So basically this robotic courier picks up goods from a centrally located logistics hub and delivers them to homes within a two mile radius. Through a partnership with Mercedes-Benz the company is experimenting with loading a bunch of robots into a modified Sprinter van that drops off the delivery bots along its route. Now when self-driving vehicles load it up with... It's gonna be like Phantom Menace man. Like you're gonna have like the drop ship that like floats along the street and then it's gonna be like unroll the thing and it's gonna be like and they're gonna like come out and they're gonna deliver all the things to the houses. They're gonna come back and then it's gonna go to the next location. It's gonna be an amazing future. We just need to figure out the role that people are gonna play in it. That's complicated. Yeah. So like this is cool and I love it but like my job is still protected for a while. Although it won't be that long before you can build an AI that evaluates a product, tests every single... That was made by another AI. Possible, yeah that was made by another AI that tests every single possible aspect of it and delivers like how good is it? Could it be better? And then the places making these products will just have those in their studios where they're making the products and then the robots that are making the products will know exactly how good it is and then they'll price it exactly where it's supposed to be. So you won't really need the reviewer bots because you'll just know that everything is price scaled exactly perfectly all the time. Yeah, suspend more and it'll be better. Period. So like for everything always. Alright. So we're slightly over time. I would like to cover... there isn't much... oh we already talked about Total Biscuits tumor thing right? Yep, sort of. Okay cool. I mean there's really nothing else in the notes that we didn't say already. It's very good. It's tumor size is down by 50%. That's very good. AMD's AM4 socket has been pictured. Okay. It has like 1200 pins or something like that. I don't know. Correct. It has 24 PCIe lanes which is really interesting. So AMD is apparently targeting squarely between Intel's mainstream platform and their enthusiast platform just based on that. That's all I'm going based on. But that is actually very interesting to me. So dual channel DDR4 which is frankly all we need on the desktop anyway. 24 PCIe lanes meaning that AMD seems to think they're going to be that better than the mainstream but like enthusiast grade but cheaper than enthusiast option which is a void that Intel has stubbornly refused to fill over the last 4-5 years. Really interesting. Because Intel could easily build a more complex quad core or a 6 core in terms of the die size cost associated with that mainstream platform. They just choose not to. They choose to put better on board graphics. If AMD comes in and turns the screws a little bit on Intel, we could be in for a fascinating couple of years here. Apparently it's not that many pins. It's not that many pins. 1331. Yeah 1331. That's more than 12 whatever that I said. I thought you said something else. Oh okay. I don't know. Twitch chat is trying to correct you. I don't know what's going on. Get rekt Twitch chat. Spotify and Tinder link up to form a match made in heaven. If your heaven is swiping. If your heaven is swiping. People. And listening to music for free. Yeah. I mean I think it's actually not a terrible idea to have people with similar music tastes. Sure. Yeah like I mean. So you can swipe someone and then just be like Justin Bieber nope. Yeah exactly. Or Justin Bieber yup. His new stuff's okay. I don't know. I meant like that's why I said that's why I added the yup afterwards. I don't listen to new stuff. I'm old now. I listen to the things on my server now. I'm that guy. Oh. Yeah. Or Monster Cat's 24 hour FM mix because I could stream that. Because Monster Cat's cool and stuff. So I either listen to Monster Cat because they don't mute my VODs. Or I listen to stuff on my server. And that's it. Excellent. Yeah. Or the radio because I don't pay attention to it and it's in the background. I know I still listen to the radio too. And I actually listen to it like over the airwaves. Like I don't have a fancy app. Even though the only station I listen to like you could just listen to it in an app. But I would never listen to it in the app because if I'm somewhere that doesn't have a normal like AM FM radio then I'm just gonna listen to music that I have off my server. So anyway, you can link your account and the music taste begins to become part of your dating profile. And you can also pick a song to be your anthem that describes who you are. So that's supposed to be a way to understand a person through a single piece of music which is unfortunate. Don't laugh Brandon. You know that you know a single person... Humans are just songs. Yeah. A single piece of music would have been enough for Brandon. What? It's like do they have a song about taking pictures? Polaroid pictures. Okay. Oh our buddies over at Lime Technology have released the latest iteration of Unraid. So all the features that I've been demonstrating since two gamers one CPU are finally in a stable release. Hooray! Hooray! So they get VLANs, multiple ethernet support, no device limit for trial so you can actually try out Unraid in a way that's not frustrating. Oh my god. Which is kind of cool. Everyone's doing Nickelback. Look at this photograph. Yeah! That could be Brandon. Brandon could have a bunch of music under his profile. They've added dual parity support so if you're worried about two drives failing at a time and losing data then you no longer have to worry about that. They have a GUI boot mode now so you don't have to access it on first boot over the network which I personally find helpful. I don't care. You can tell me all day that this should work over the network. Just type this into your browser. No, no, no. Just let me plug in a VGA port and a PS2 keyboard and then I will believe that it will work. So that's pretty happy for me. Major updates to virtual machines. So I will be trying to do like a multi VR gamers one CPU over the next little bit so stay tuned. I'll be looking at some of the new 6.2 features there. You and the point, I think it's point three percent of Steam users. Why are you a hater? I'm not. Okay then. Oh, Opera browser unveils a free unlimited VPN service. This raises my eyebrow because nothing in life is free and especially user data is very, very valuable. Possibly valuable enough that you could operate a VPN service for free with what that would be worth and I'm not saying they're doing that. Well, Opera was relatively recently bought out by some like I think random Chinese company that people don't know a ton about if I remember the article correctly that we covered on the WAN show a few months ago. That's probably not noted in here. So it's a free no log easy to use VPN service available directly in the Opera desktop browser. Christian Calandra, Senior Vice President of Opera browser for computer says if people knew how the internet truly works, I believe they would all use a VPN. I don't believe any of them would use a free VPN if they knew how the internet works. By making our browser VPN free and easy to use, we hope to make it an essential tool just as the locking key is to your house. I also wouldn't put Opera in charge of the locking key to my house. Someone in Twitch chat said that they tried the Opera VPN and it's terrible. So maybe that's how they're getting around the costs. It's just really bad. It's just really bad? Oh, okay. Well, hey, maybe my tin foil hat is too strong today. And I should have just gone with my general skepticism hat. I use Opera as my home browser. I've talked about this a little bit before because I use all browsers. That's my thing. So every different computer, I use a different browser. You'll see I'm using Firefox now. I'm maintaining that by using Firefox on my laptop. I use Chrome on my work desktop. I use Opera at my home desktop, Firefox on my laptop, and then IE on test benches, or Edge, I guess, on test benches. But half the time I get too frustrated with it and switch to Chrome anyways because it just doesn't work. God, stupid Edge. I still hate how the bar is in the middle until you type in it. It's like muscle memory, okay? I know where to find the browser bar. Don't move it. Period. It's fine where it is or was. Yes. And don't move it. Put it somewhere and don't move it. If you decide the best place for the URL bar is in the middle of the screen, then stick with it. And if it's not the best, don't put it there ever. Yeah, because it's not. Because the second you would navigate away, it would be right in the middle of your screen. That's really stupid. Yeah. And it's no less stupid doing it some of the time. Yes. Samsung announces the 960 Pro and 960 Evo SSDs boasting blistering fast sequential read speeds of 3.5 GB per second and writes of 2.1 GB per second and something like three plus times the random IOPS of SATA SSDs. We are finally at the point now here where NVMe SSDs are coming into their own and are going to be legitimately much faster feeling day to day than a SATA SSD. How long do you think until we start seeing it as a rather common thing for a user to have no cable based drives? Oh, oh, well in laptops already a thing. I mean, Razer Blade doesn't have a spot for a drive. It has one NVMe slot. Okay, I see what you're saying. That's it. So in laptops now in desktops. Okay, so we're already at the point where that cable NVMe interface is like dead in the water. There's a handful of drives that support it but it's like unless Intel and AMD both get on board and start building it into the south bridge like that's not happening. So those drives, I mean there's only like one drive that I'm aware of on the consumer side and that's the Intel 750 series. So either plugging into a PCI Express slot or plugging into an M.2 slot on your board. Wow, I think it's going to make way more sense for performance enthusiasts and by extension everyone a few years down the road. There, three years. That's my prediction. Three years. The only thing that makes me worry a little bit. There's already a two terabyte model. Yeah, but how much does that cost? But give it three years. So I'm saying three years, okay? I wish we, what could be kind of cool is if we had like a custom calendar just for like claims that we have on the way. I know, right? So we can like follow them up properly. Someone out there is probably doing it. That would be pretty cool actually. It's like things that Linus and Luke predict on the WAN show. Like follow it up. How would that go? I think that pretty much wraps it up. Americans apparently pay 40% more for TV than they did five years ago, which only proves that Americans should stop paying for TV. Or that the only people left paying for TV are the like ones who just aren't aware of the internet. The ones who watch sports. Like what was it? Did the Americans cut the cord last quarter? Like some obscene number? Sports can also be streamed online and it's cheaper to sign up for like NHL center ice than it is to have a cable subscription. Well, if you watch multiple different sports, I mean, okay, if you watch baseball and anything, I don't know how you have to anything else. Did you know they play 160 games a year? What the hell? 160 games a year. You could literally spend in your home arena. I don't think they call it an arena, but I don't care. Ballpark there in your home ballpark. I think it just say park. Calculator. Fenway Park. Calculator. Okay. So 80 over 365. You could spend 22% of your evenings in a ballpark if you had season passes and you actually, you could eat a hot dog. One out of every five nights. And that is it for the land show. Thank you for tuning in today. We will see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat chance. I will. You will. Oh yeah. I probably won't be here. I will probably have a new baby and I'll be like, not in this country. And hopefully that stream works at all. We should just have like Nick and Colton host the land show. No, I hate that guy. No, no. Colton's shaming from the background. Charge is over. This is not happening. Now my understanding is hot dogs like legit increase your risk of dying. But it's like, there was a study and it was basically like, there's a threshold. Like they're actually not very harmful until you eat a lot of them. Like over an extended period of time, then you like die. Cause it's like sodium and like highly processed stuff. Yeah. No nose and like. Well, pig nose is probably good for you. Everyone knows that. Oh God. Yeah, we're still streaming. I'll shut down the. Oh, I almost dip his throat. All right. It's hard. Well,
