I found it a little 27 00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:01,875 titillating. 4chan was hacked, we're 28 00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:03,041 going to talk about that too. There's a 29 00:01:03,041 --> 00:01:03,833 whole bunch of stuff, 30 00:01:03,833 --> 00:01:05,916 so stick around through the whole episode 31 00:01:05,916 --> 00:01:06,875 here because we've got 32 00:01:06,875 --> 00:01:08,333 some fun things that we're 33 00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:10,500 talking about. We like to start off the 34 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,208 show each week with talking about the 35 00:01:13,208 --> 00:01:14,000 stuff that we've been 36 00:01:14,416 --> 00:01:17,500 playing and working on. So Hi-Tech, why 37 00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:18,291 don't you start us off? 38 00:01:18,291 --> 00:01:18,958 What have you been playing this 39 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,500 week? Well, I just beat Rise of the Ronin 40 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,291 and I thought it was a 41 00:01:25,291 --> 00:01:27,500 pretty good game. I don't know 42 00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:29,583 why it got so much flack. Well, I mean, 43 00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:30,666 it had performance 44 00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:32,291 issues on PC, which is fair, 45 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,750 but it was a PS5 exclusive, so I don't 46 00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:36,791 know why it had so much flack during 47 00:01:36,791 --> 00:01:37,458 that. I guess it was 48 00:01:37,458 --> 00:01:39,000 because people don't really jive with the 49 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,333 whole historical Japanese 50 00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:42,791 theme. So it's like, you know, 51 00:01:43,458 --> 00:01:46,375 it's a game about Samurai and the Boshen 52 00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:48,250 War right before the Meiji Restoration. 53 00:01:49,125 --> 00:01:51,416 Back when you had American ships coming 54 00:01:51,416 --> 00:01:52,750 over, stuff like that. Yeah. 55 00:01:55,041 --> 00:01:58,041 I, it sounds really interesting. It's 56 00:01:58,041 --> 00:01:59,416 something that I've been 57 00:01:59,416 --> 00:02:00,583 wanting to check out, but 58 00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:03,958 so many other things. I'm wondering if 59 00:02:03,958 --> 00:02:05,250 that's just, it's a fatigue 60 00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:06,458 thing for people that like, 61 00:02:06,666 --> 00:02:09,750 I can either have fun or learn or do 62 00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:12,625 both. I guess I just want to not think. 63 00:02:13,916 --> 00:02:15,583 I find it weird that there's been so much 64 00:02:15,583 --> 00:02:16,500 backlash for the 65 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,416 historical fiction set in Japan, 66 00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:20,375 specifically. Like, I don't know what 67 00:02:20,375 --> 00:02:24,791 that's about. Content for 68 00:02:24,791 --> 00:02:26,833 these grifters. They just need 69 00:02:27,458 --> 00:02:29,250 content, honestly, and it's low hanging 70 00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,625 fruit. Kind of. I don't know that much 71 00:02:31,625 --> 00:02:32,958 backlash. Certainly, 72 00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:35,000 no Assassin's Creed shadows levels of 73 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,291 backlash, but it didn't do too well. 74 00:02:40,541 --> 00:02:42,208 Like, review score wise. 75 00:02:42,583 --> 00:02:44,583 And I don't, I don't see why, to be 76 00:02:44,583 --> 00:02:45,916 honest. I thought the game was fine. 77 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:48,333 Except for the performance 78 00:02:48,416 --> 00:02:51,750 of PC. Yeah. I mean, performance on PC is 79 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:58,333 always a contentious topic. Yeah. It 80 00:02:58,333 --> 00:02:59,500 really is hard because 81 00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:02,125 do you review the performance and the 82 00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:06,500 game? Like, it's so hard because with 83 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:07,750 reviews, I'd prefer to 84 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:10,000 rate, when I've done reviews in the past, 85 00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,000 review the content, the 86 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,625 play style, you know, just the, 87 00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:16,916 how well it plays, the gameplay that is. 88 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,500 And then like, performance is a little 89 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:20,666 bit more towards the 90 00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:22,625 end. And I'll still knock it a little 91 00:03:22,625 --> 00:03:25,375 bit. Like, but hey, if you up the 92 00:03:25,375 --> 00:03:26,625 performance, I might change 93 00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:31,458 my score. And so, because it's something 94 00:03:31,458 --> 00:03:33,000 they can fix. Just knock it 95 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,958 so that it hurts them a little 96 00:03:33,958 --> 00:03:37,541 bit, but they need to fix it. Yes. And 97 00:03:37,541 --> 00:03:38,708 also, I mean, this is 98 00:03:38,708 --> 00:03:40,375 just me, but I've very rarely 99 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,750 found games that are like 10 out of 10, 100 00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:44,333 but run terribly on PC. 101 00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:46,125 This is my personal opinion. 102 00:03:47,791 --> 00:03:50,291 Cyberpunk. Okay. I'll say Cyberpunk was a 103 00:03:50,291 --> 00:03:51,833 10 out of 10 for me and it 104 00:03:51,833 --> 00:03:54,000 ran horrible, but I had a 3090, 105 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,375 so I powered through it. Okay. That's 106 00:03:56,375 --> 00:04:00,500 like you did. That is me. 107 00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:02,416 That is me. I think Cyberpunk 108 00:04:02,541 --> 00:04:04,416 eventually became like a nine out of 10 109 00:04:04,416 --> 00:04:07,750 in my book, but it's a big 110 00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:10,291 sci-fi and Cyberpunk style 111 00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:15,500 fan. So yeah, speaking of when I, when I 112 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,500 like played Cyberpunk 113 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:17,875 for the first time, I was, 114 00:04:18,041 --> 00:04:19,500 you know, I've always been a Linux guy 115 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:20,833 and so I tried it on 116 00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:22,333 Linux and it was even worse. 117 00:04:22,875 --> 00:04:27,291 You know, PlayStation four, whatever. And 118 00:04:27,291 --> 00:04:31,375 I had no NPCs. Dude, and 119 00:04:31,375 --> 00:04:32,916 the NPCs were falling through 120 00:04:32,916 --> 00:04:35,041 the street and like they would like into 121 00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:36,000 the street and fall 122 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,750 through. It was hilarious. I 123 00:04:37,750 --> 00:04:39,208 did a line stream of it and I was like, 124 00:04:39,208 --> 00:04:39,791 yeah, I'm going to get a 125 00:04:39,791 --> 00:04:41,791 refund on this. That's crazy. 126 00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:44,916 I want that mode. I like playing through 127 00:04:44,916 --> 00:04:45,750 stuff like that. I don't 128 00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:46,375 want to play through the whole 129 00:04:46,375 --> 00:04:48,333 game, but that'd be fun. I want to move 130 00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:51,208 down. So speaking of 131 00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:53,416 Cyberpunk, they just announced a new 132 00:04:53,416 --> 00:04:57,208 Ghost in the Shell anime and it looks 133 00:04:57,208 --> 00:04:59,833 like the manga, the manga's 134 00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:00,958 art style as opposed to like 135 00:05:01,916 --> 00:05:03,416 the one from the nineties 136 00:05:03,416 --> 00:05:04,666 that everyone knows about. 137 00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:08,416 Yeah, that's an old manga too. 138 00:05:09,250 --> 00:05:10,541 Yeah, it's really, yeah, it's quite old. 139 00:05:11,416 --> 00:05:16,000 Honestly, man, Cyberpunk at 140 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,541 launch was like at most an 141 00:05:17,541 --> 00:05:19,333 eight out of 10 and that's before you 142 00:05:19,333 --> 00:05:20,875 take into account any of the bugs and 143 00:05:20,875 --> 00:05:21,916 shit that happened on 144 00:05:21,916 --> 00:05:23,625 everything back in the end. 145 00:05:24,666 --> 00:05:26,583 I didn't have that many issues.

I do remember it. And people, but 160 00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:53,875 people tend to forget 161 00:05:53,875 --> 00:05:55,250 that stuff because, you know, 162 00:05:55,375 --> 00:05:57,791 they're also super detailed as well.

And every once in 171 00:06:13,916 --> 00:06:14,791 a while I'll see a game that 172 00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:16,625 does a pretty good job of not having too 173 00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:18,083 many bugs, but it's really hard, 174 00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:18,708 especially if you're 175 00:06:18,708 --> 00:06:20,458 running your own engine, which most of 176 00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:21,583 these places tend to do. 177 00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:23,500 Yeah. 178 00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:25,916 James, what have you 179 00:06:25,916 --> 00:06:26,666 been playing this week? 180 00:06:28,125 --> 00:06:32,416 I played on the plane. I loaded up my 181 00:06:32,416 --> 00:06:33,291 steam deck because I went 182 00:06:33,291 --> 00:06:34,750 on a work trip to Atlanta. 183 00:06:35,541 --> 00:06:37,583 And I loaded up my steam deck with all 184 00:06:37,583 --> 00:06:38,666 these games I was going 185 00:06:38,666 --> 00:06:39,666 to play. And then I like 186 00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:42,500 remembered I needed to do my taxes. So I 187 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,166 played the tax game and I 188 00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:45,250 did those while I was on my 189 00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:47,041 four hour of height. I got it. 190 00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:51,791 Oh, no. You gave on your way back at least. 191 00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:58,166 Um, yes, I played. What did I play? 192 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,583 I don't even remember. I've been playing 193 00:07:01,583 --> 00:07:03,166 through a couple of different games, just 194 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,666 more, more or less like having fun 195 00:07:05,666 --> 00:07:06,583 testing them out on the steam 196 00:07:06,583 --> 00:07:07,916 deck. And I just can't remember 197 00:07:07,916 --> 00:07:11,000 what I played. So that wasn't a bad job 198 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,041 of saying what I played. 199 00:07:12,458 --> 00:07:14,333 Was it an indie game you played or a 200 00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,416 triple A game you played? 201 00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:20,541 Oh, well, I died. I'm drawing a blank. 202 00:07:20,791 --> 00:07:21,791 Obviously, it wasn't that memorable. 203 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,875 What was it? 204 00:07:25,333 --> 00:07:27,333 Yeah, I don't know.

And at the end of the day, 413 00:14:31,916 --> 00:14:32,541 they'll probably end up 414 00:14:32,541 --> 00:14:33,791 with a more secure platform. 415 00:14:33,791 --> 00:14:37,500 But yeah, I hear it's it's there. 416 00:14:37,666 --> 00:14:39,500 There's two things that I think right, 417 00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:40,666 like some of the blame 418 00:14:40,666 --> 00:14:42,708 does lie at Val's feet, right? 419 00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:45,541 Because they're providing proton and 420 00:14:45,541 --> 00:14:47,250 that's like Linux support 421 00:14:47,250 --> 00:14:48,541 for Windows clients, right? 422 00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,833 But the big problem lies with the actual 423 00:14:52,833 --> 00:14:53,833 vendors of the anti 424 00:14:53,833 --> 00:14:54,791 cheat software itself, 425 00:14:55,041 --> 00:14:57,333 because they're providing the you know, 426 00:14:57,333 --> 00:14:58,791 it's like it's like 427 00:14:58,791 --> 00:15:00,208 easy anti cheat for Linux, 428 00:15:00,625 --> 00:15:03,833 but it doesn't actually behave the same 429 00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:05,666 way. It's like there's it's not feature 430 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,333 parody with Windows. So like it's is it 431 00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:10,333 false advertising? I don't 432 00:15:10,333 --> 00:15:11,208 know what the word would be. 433 00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:14,625 But like they're I mean, and even Tim 434 00:15:14,625 --> 00:15:16,250 Sweeney has said, like easy 435 00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:17,916 anti cheat on Linux, you know, 436 00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:19,708 is not good enough for us to release 437 00:15:19,708 --> 00:15:22,333 Fortnite on Linux. So therefore, you 438 00:15:22,333 --> 00:15:22,916 know, we're not going 439 00:15:22,916 --> 00:15:24,708 to do it. But it's like, that's your own 440 00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,000 product, my guy, like you're 441 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,208 going to bad mouth that, you 442 00:15:28,208 --> 00:15:30,375 know, it's their fault. It really is, you 443 00:15:30,375 --> 00:15:32,000 know, they could just check 444 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,583 a box. They could make it as 445 00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:37,000 easy as checking a box in their back end 446 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,208 to allow developers to 447 00:15:38,208 --> 00:15:40,041 support Linux through proton or 448 00:15:40,083 --> 00:15:43,083 whatever. But they don't. And it's in I 449 00:15:43,083 --> 00:15:46,500 think part of it is like, at least 450 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,000 incompetence on some 451 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,916 level, like they, you know, it's hard for 452 00:15:51,916 --> 00:15:54,708 them to find developers who 453 00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:56,166 actually know enough about 454 00:15:56,166 --> 00:16:00,041 the Linux kernel, and can afford to work 455 00:16:00,041 --> 00:16:02,208 at the lower price point in 456 00:16:02,208 --> 00:16:03,708 the games industry than they 457 00:16:03,708 --> 00:16:05,458 would making it, you know, as a server 458 00:16:05,458 --> 00:16:06,625 admin, you know what I'm 459 00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:08,875 saying? Like, I don't know, 460 00:16:08,875 --> 00:16:10,791 some of it is that but also some of it 461 00:16:10,791 --> 00:16:15,625 is, I believe it's epic, 462 00:16:15,625 --> 00:16:17,000 just wanting to sabotage Linux, 463 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,125 because it's valve. Yeah, but yeah, that 464 00:16:21,125 --> 00:16:23,125 makes sense. So that's 465 00:16:23,125 --> 00:16:24,500 where my head's at. So I think 466 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:27,750 the ultimate blame lies with the cheat 467 00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:32,083 makers and the guys who pay for cheats. 468 00:16:32,375 --> 00:16:34,208 Because you're always gonna have that 469 00:16:34,208 --> 00:16:35,750 though, you're always gonna have it. Yes. 470 00:16:35,791 --> 00:16:38,666 But I think I think really, like, we're 471 00:16:38,666 --> 00:16:42,458 like, you, it does fall on the cheat 472 00:16:42,458 --> 00:16:43,208 makers, right? Like, 473 00:16:43,208 --> 00:16:45,000 they're the problem. But the problem 474 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,041 really comes from the fact that that's 475 00:16:47,041 --> 00:16:48,416 always going to exist, 476 00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:51,708 right? And these companies are trying to, 477 00:16:51,708 --> 00:16:54,500 like, make these games that 478 00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,208 where they're always going 479 00:16:56,208 --> 00:16:58,458 to have that, like, malicious force on 480 00:16:58,458 --> 00:16:59,000 the earth, like this 481 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,416 malignancy on the periphery of their 482 00:17:01,458 --> 00:17:04,083 games. And that if they don't continue to 483 00:17:04,083 --> 00:17:05,833 invest tons of money, and 484 00:17:05,833 --> 00:17:09,291 lock down systems and invest 485 00:17:09,291 --> 00:17:11,708 and invest and invest in like, combating 486 00:17:11,708 --> 00:17:15,000 them, then there won't be a 487 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,083 player base for their game. 488 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:17,625 And I just I think that it's 489 00:17:17,625 --> 00:17:18,750 unsustainable. Like, I 490 00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:20,666 honestly think that online games, 491 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,958 the way they exist now are completely 492 00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:27,708 unsustainable. And that's, I think that's 493 00:17:27,708 --> 00:17:28,916 where my head has gone 494 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,375 from before it was like, we just need to 495 00:17:31,375 --> 00:17:32,458 support all the platforms 496 00:17:32,458 --> 00:17:33,791 and including Linux. And now 497 00:17:33,791 --> 00:17:35,583 it's like, now we need to be done with 498 00:17:35,583 --> 00:17:36,666 online games as they exist 499 00:17:36,666 --> 00:17:38,041 today, because it's just not going 500 00:17:38,041 --> 00:17:43,041 to work. Yeah, from my understanding, a 501 00:17:43,041 --> 00:17:43,958 lot of those anti cheat 502 00:17:43,958 --> 00:17:47,500 programs, the vendors, they're 503 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:50,208 not actually that great anyways, like, 504 00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:52,541 no, they're always like, the end, these 505 00:17:52,541 --> 00:17:53,083 companies will go with 506 00:17:53,125 --> 00:17:54,750 the cheapest option. So it's not like 507 00:17:54,750 --> 00:17:58,250 it's doing the best anyways. Yeah. I 508 00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:59,500 don't play a lot. Yeah. 509 00:17:59,625 --> 00:18:02,875 And frankly, the fact is, these these 510 00:18:02,875 --> 00:18:05,250 vendors of these end cheat 511 00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:08,125 software, you know, the only 512 00:18:08,166 --> 00:18:09,750 power that they have, I mean, it's clear 513 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:11,208 to me, the only power that 514 00:18:11,208 --> 00:18:12,458 the energy vendors have is 515 00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:15,041 because they their software exists at the 516 00:18:15,041 --> 00:18:16,125 kernel level on Windows. 517 00:18:16,666 --> 00:18:17,916 That's the only reason that 518 00:18:17,916 --> 00:18:20,416 they're effective at all, because they 519 00:18:20,416 --> 00:18:21,291 don't exist at the kernel 520 00:18:21,291 --> 00:18:24,416 level on Linux. And they're 521 00:18:24,416 --> 00:18:26,416 they're junk on Linux. So it's like, 522 00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:28,541 they're not doing anything 523 00:18:28,541 --> 00:18:30,083 special. It's just that their, 524 00:18:30,083 --> 00:18:33,875 their app has higher privilege. That's so 525 00:18:33,875 --> 00:18:35,916 and it can only escalate 526 00:18:35,916 --> 00:18:36,916 from there, right? Like, 527 00:18:36,916 --> 00:18:40,791 there is no going back to, like, low, 528 00:18:40,791 --> 00:18:42,083 like user space level 529 00:18:42,083 --> 00:18:44,458 privileges for any cheat, where the 530 00:18:44,666 --> 00:18:46,750 cheating software can interfere with the 531 00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:49,166 anti cheat. It's just 532 00:18:49,166 --> 00:18:50,541 going to continue escalating. 533 00:18:50,541 --> 00:18:51,333 And that's why I think it's 534 00:18:51,333 --> 00:18:53,750 unsustainable. That is fair. I mean, 535 00:18:53,875 --> 00:18:55,083 we've gotten to the point where 536 00:18:55,083 --> 00:18:57,208 we have two computer cheating, where, you 537 00:18:57,208 --> 00:18:58,666 know, on one computer, you 538 00:18:58,666 --> 00:18:59,791 have the game running on the 539 00:18:59,791 --> 00:19:02,000 other. And on another computer, you have 540 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000 a software essentially 541 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,708 doing the work. That reminds me, 542 00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:06,958 that reminds me, I was following a 543 00:19:06,958 --> 00:19:08,583 project by a YouTuber, I 544 00:19:08,583 --> 00:19:09,541 can't forget his I can't remember 545 00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:12,041 his name, but he essentially started up 546 00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:13,958 something called Waldo anti 547 00:19:13,958 --> 00:19:16,041 cheat. And it's powered using 548 00:19:16,041 --> 00:19:18,875 AI, instead of, you know, instead of 549 00:19:18,875 --> 00:19:21,500 whatever, however, regular 550 00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:22,791 anti cheat works nowadays, 551 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,250 embedding themselves in the system, 552 00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:26,791 instead, they use AI to determine, you 553 00:19:26,791 --> 00:19:28,208 know, player behavior in 554 00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:30,500 comparison to what should be possible in 555 00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,416 game. Nice. And you know, 556 00:19:32,416 --> 00:19:33,000 I know, I know we like to 557 00:19:33,041 --> 00:19:35,583 rag a lot on on AI in their usage, 558 00:19:36,208 --> 00:19:38,083 generative AI, but I think using this 559 00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:39,666 like pattern recognition 560 00:19:40,791 --> 00:19:43,458 for anti cheat is objectively a good 561 00:19:43,458 --> 00:19:46,500 thing. It's one of the good uses for AI 562 00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:47,333 can think of in video 563 00:19:47,333 --> 00:19:50,291 games. And doing it at the server level 564 00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:51,250 rather than on the client 565 00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,000 side makes a lot of sense. Yes. 566 00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:55,541 Like doing it on the client is always 567 00:19:55,541 --> 00:19:58,083 going to be inherently less secure. And 568 00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:00,375 yeah, I don't know. I 569 00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,625 agree with you. But I take it. They're 570 00:20:03,625 --> 00:20:05,875 just yeah, adaptive programs. I mean, 571 00:20:05,875 --> 00:20:07,375 this is, there's a lot 572 00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:09,083 of you like, I think too many people 573 00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:11,666 scream about AI being like garbage, 574 00:20:11,666 --> 00:20:14,458 whatever, but it has a lot 575 00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:16,458 of, well, we don't even have 576 00:20:16,458 --> 00:20:18,375 traditionally, it's not even real AI. But 577 00:20:18,375 --> 00:20:20,125 you know, the AI that we have 578 00:20:20,166 --> 00:20:22,791 is not, it has a lot of good purposes. 579 00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:24,875 Yeah, once it starts taking jobs or 580 00:20:24,875 --> 00:20:25,916 stealing to, you know, 581 00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:30,083 in order to like, you know, like art, 582 00:20:30,625 --> 00:20:31,625 let's say art, it has to 583 00:20:31,625 --> 00:20:33,000 build off of someone else's and 584 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,833 that's essentially just theft. And so you 585 00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:37,083 have to be right, right, you have to be 586 00:20:37,083 --> 00:20:37,791 careful with it all. 587 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,166 I mean, in my opinion, I think I think 588 00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:41,708 this is okay, because it's 589 00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:44,041 not like you have employees at 590 00:20:44,041 --> 00:20:45,666 like Epic or wherever watch every single 591 00:20:45,666 --> 00:20:46,791 Fortnite match, right? You 592 00:20:46,791 --> 00:20:47,666 don't have like a referee. 593 00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:50,583 Whereas like an actual like sport, you 594 00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:51,833 would have like a referee determine 595 00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:54,041 things. So like having a 596 00:20:54,083 --> 00:20:56,708 sort of AI, having a sort of AI referee 597 00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:59,083 for each match in a game, 598 00:20:59,875 --> 00:21:01,416 I can see it. I can see it 599 00:21:01,416 --> 00:21:04,583 actually doing something. Some cheats and 600 00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:05,375 some hacks are so 601 00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:06,583 sophisticated, meaning they, 602 00:21:07,583 --> 00:21:09,458 it's hard for the, I think a human 603 00:21:09,458 --> 00:21:10,833 detective. So even if they had like a 604 00:21:10,833 --> 00:21:12,916 human referee for each 605 00:21:12,916 --> 00:21:15,333 match, I think a lot, I think it's still 606 00:21:15,333 --> 00:21:16,458 slipped by at times. 607 00:21:17,125 --> 00:21:18,291 Having an AI I think makes a lot 608 00:21:18,333 --> 00:21:22,375 more sense to combat it. Yeah. Yeah. I 609 00:21:22,375 --> 00:21:23,125 mean, it's like how like 610 00:21:23,125 --> 00:21:25,000 sometimes sports you have guys use 611 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,833 steroids and it slips by every now and 612 00:21:26,833 --> 00:21:29,375 then. Yeah. Yeah. Unless 613 00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:31,500 you do like mandated, mandated 614 00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:35,083 testing beforehand. And I kind of want 615 00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:37,000 that to I want the AI side on 616 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,458 the server, maybe even like a 617 00:21:38,458 --> 00:21:41,583 little bit on the on the client. But I 618 00:21:41,583 --> 00:21:45,916 want it to be I would like the option 619 00:21:45,916 --> 00:21:46,791 when I'm playing a game 620 00:21:46,791 --> 00:21:49,416 to just opt in with a universal passport 621 00:21:49,416 --> 00:21:52,458 of this is my identity. I 622 00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:55,416 have one, you know, one identity. 623 00:21:55,625 --> 00:21:57,500 And if you get caught hacking or 624 00:21:57,500 --> 00:21:59,000 cheating, you're done. You can't play 625 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,833 with other people that have 626 00:21:59,833 --> 00:22:01,333 that same identity. We've talked about 627 00:22:01,333 --> 00:22:03,583 that before. Yeah. South 628 00:22:03,583 --> 00:22:06,750 Korea does this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 629 00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:09,291 You have to use your social. Back in the 630 00:22:09,291 --> 00:22:09,958 day, you had to use your 631 00:22:09,958 --> 00:22:10,875 social security number to, 632 00:22:10,916 --> 00:22:12,500 you know, even make an account for a 633 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,541 game. So and I mean, the good news is 634 00:22:16,541 --> 00:22:18,458 that they don't have to 635 00:22:18,458 --> 00:22:21,666 use anti cheat software like a I think. 636 00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:23,291 Well, I think Lost Ark is 637 00:22:23,291 --> 00:22:24,625 one such a game where like 638 00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:27,833 the Western version uses easy anti cheat, 639 00:22:27,833 --> 00:22:29,416 I believe. Whereas the 640 00:22:29,416 --> 00:22:30,833 like Eastern Korean version 641 00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:33,500 has no anti cheat software and they're 642 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,041 less cheaters because, well, 643 00:22:35,041 --> 00:22:35,750 you know, if you get banned, 644 00:22:35,791 --> 00:22:40,708 you can't play the game at all. Yeah. 645 00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:44,041 It's a spicy topic to start saying 646 00:22:44,041 --> 00:22:45,916 introducing, let's say, a passport or 647 00:22:45,916 --> 00:22:46,875 identification. I know 648 00:22:46,875 --> 00:22:50,208 a lot of people don't like that. And I 649 00:22:50,208 --> 00:22:52,250 mean, it's something that 650 00:22:52,250 --> 00:22:53,583 doesn't have to be governmental. 651 00:22:53,833 --> 00:22:56,541 That could be an ESRB thing and it could 652 00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:59,041 be opted in from like game 653 00:22:59,041 --> 00:23:00,291 studios when they publish their 654 00:23:00,416 --> 00:23:03,833 game. Like, frankly, like that does not 655 00:23:03,833 --> 00:23:06,041 have to be government level, 656 00:23:06,041 --> 00:23:07,166 right? Like you would it could 657 00:23:07,166 --> 00:23:10,000 be a private thing which has its pluses 658 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000 and minuses. Right. 659 00:23:11,208 --> 00:23:14,041 Yeah. Right. But a government 660 00:23:14,041 --> 00:23:15,791 level would be interesting to them to 661 00:23:15,791 --> 00:23:17,500 just get that involved. I 662 00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,958 would want probably a funded 663 00:23:20,958 --> 00:23:26,333 nonprofit by multiple entities that have 664 00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:27,375 like Goodwill, which I 665 00:23:27,375 --> 00:23:28,541 don't know how that works. But 666 00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:30,208 you know, I don't I don't know the ESRB 667 00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:32,000 is very we've talked about 668 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,166 many a time how certain games 669 00:23:34,166 --> 00:23:37,041 get preferential treatment as opposed to 670 00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,750 others like Bellotto. I 671 00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:39,916 mean, yeah, that's fair. But 672 00:23:39,916 --> 00:23:42,375 the same time, though, you could spin 673 00:23:42,375 --> 00:23:43,958 this around. I mean, this is going to 674 00:23:43,958 --> 00:23:44,958 protect their interest, 675 00:23:44,958 --> 00:23:47,250 which is maintaining a player base 676 00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:49,833 because, you know, cheating 677 00:23:49,833 --> 00:23:51,375 does damage a player base. People 678 00:23:51,458 --> 00:23:53,500 stop playing games because of cheaters. 679 00:23:53,791 --> 00:23:55,375 So in a way, I can yeah, I 680 00:23:55,375 --> 00:23:58,916 think the USA could very well 681 00:23:59,041 --> 00:24:00,500 do this. I mean, they're not good. I 682 00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:02,458 mean, they haven't yet. I 683 00:24:02,458 --> 00:24:03,125 don't know if they even care 684 00:24:03,125 --> 00:24:04,916 enough to do it yet. But that's something 685 00:24:04,916 --> 00:24:06,166 they certainly could do 686 00:24:06,166 --> 00:24:07,208 if they just realize how 687 00:24:07,208 --> 00:24:09,500 important this is, like a central 688 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,625 database where every game developer 689 00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:14,333 shares game, like shares data. 690 00:24:15,250 --> 00:24:17,291 And if like you get banned in one game, 691 00:24:17,291 --> 00:24:19,208 you can't play anyone else's games. 692 00:24:20,333 --> 00:24:22,541 That'd be kind of interesting to see. 693 00:24:23,125 --> 00:24:25,083 Like if we're really talking about like 694 00:24:25,083 --> 00:24:26,833 open ID, like it doesn't 695 00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:29,333 have to be that, you know, 696 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,625 egregious or whatever. And you would you 697 00:24:31,625 --> 00:24:32,791 would then attach it to 698 00:24:32,791 --> 00:24:34,458 your actual identity. But that 699 00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:38,083 real identity doesn't go out to any other 700 00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:40,208 like party. It stays with 701 00:24:40,208 --> 00:24:42,500 the central authority for 702 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:45,708 the service. And then that's what keeps 703 00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:46,958 you from like making a new 704 00:24:46,958 --> 00:24:48,125 account with a different identity 705 00:24:48,250 --> 00:24:51,125 or whatever and circumventing a ban. 706 00:24:51,666 --> 00:24:52,875 Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I 707 00:24:52,875 --> 00:24:54,208 don't know. I really I like that 708 00:24:54,208 --> 00:24:56,166 idea. But we have other topics we want to 709 00:24:56,166 --> 00:24:57,708 talk about today. And 710 00:24:57,708 --> 00:24:59,125 this one was not even on our 711 00:24:59,125 --> 00:25:01,583 list. So but it's a good one. It is a 712 00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,333 good one. And we talk about 713 00:25:03,333 --> 00:25:05,875 it more, too. But before we get 714 00:25:05,875 --> 00:25:08,041 into those topics, make sure that you 715 00:25:08,041 --> 00:25:10,625 become a subscriber if 716 00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:12,458 it's through YouTube, if it's 717 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:16,583 through our RSS feed or through what is 718 00:25:16,583 --> 00:25:18,875 it we have Spotify, is that 719 00:25:18,875 --> 00:25:20,208 what it's called? And Apple 720 00:25:20,791 --> 00:25:22,541 podcasts. We're on all the different 721 00:25:22,541 --> 00:25:23,333 services wherever you 722 00:25:23,333 --> 00:25:24,333 get your podcasts from. 723 00:25:26,083 --> 00:25:27,708 Yeah, we're also we're an RSS feed. We're 724 00:25:27,708 --> 00:25:28,833 also on the fetaverse, 725 00:25:28,833 --> 00:25:30,125 which you can find a link below. 726 00:25:30,125 --> 00:25:31,041 I'm not going to try and say it again. 727 00:25:31,666 --> 00:25:33,833 Okay, I got it. I got to 728 00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:35,166 ask everyone that listens to 729 00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:39,166 because you you showed recently some 730 00:25:39,166 --> 00:25:41,166 statistics of a lot of 731 00:25:41,166 --> 00:25:42,791 people use for podcasts, 732 00:25:43,666 --> 00:25:46,625 Apple podcasts. Yeah. And a lot of them 733 00:25:46,625 --> 00:25:48,666 are Android users. Yes. 734 00:25:48,916 --> 00:25:51,833 Yeah. I want to know why 735 00:25:51,833 --> 00:25:54,166 people are using I mean, I use Apple 736 00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:55,583 podcast on Apple, but 737 00:25:55,583 --> 00:25:57,333 that's besides the point. Like, 738 00:25:57,333 --> 00:25:58,708 but I have Apple products. I'm wondering 739 00:25:58,708 --> 00:26:00,041 why people on Android 740 00:26:00,041 --> 00:26:02,625 do. That is interesting. 741 00:26:02,666 --> 00:26:04,666 I want to know, like in the comments. 742 00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:05,291 Sorry, I don't mean to 743 00:26:05,291 --> 00:26:06,500 derail us again, but that one's 744 00:26:06,541 --> 00:26:11,250 a weird one. Yeah. Also, I'm going to 745 00:26:11,250 --> 00:26:12,750 share my screen so the 746 00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:13,833 people watching on YouTube 747 00:26:14,625 --> 00:26:16,500 can see this. We've got some we've got 748 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,000 some pretty good numbers 749 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,125 for the last three weeks. 750 00:26:20,083 --> 00:26:21,333 And we've got some comments we're going 751 00:26:21,333 --> 00:26:22,083 to touch on at the end of 752 00:26:22,083 --> 00:26:24,250 the show. But this last week, 753 00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:26,625 we had two thousand downloads. A week 754 00:26:26,625 --> 00:26:28,000 before that, we had two thousand six 755 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000 hundred. And this is 756 00:26:29,041 --> 00:26:30,291 probably going to continue to grow 757 00:26:30,291 --> 00:26:34,833 because it's been going pretty fast. But 758 00:26:34,833 --> 00:26:36,125 very exciting stuff. 759 00:26:36,125 --> 00:26:37,708 I mean, like everybody seems to be really 760 00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:39,416 enjoying the show. Got it. 761 00:26:39,416 --> 00:26:40,541 And you know, I think it is. 762 00:26:40,541 --> 00:26:42,208 It was my heart. I think it's because you 763 00:26:42,208 --> 00:26:43,625 fixed those Apple podcast 764 00:26:43,625 --> 00:26:46,833 tags because it could be. 765 00:26:46,833 --> 00:26:50,375 Yeah. Yeah. Because like it was we had it 766 00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:51,541 up on Apple podcasts 767 00:26:51,541 --> 00:26:53,000 for a while. And then 768 00:26:53,291 --> 00:26:56,500 like there was a stupid thing that they 769 00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:57,666 sent to my Apple ID 770 00:26:57,666 --> 00:26:58,916 email, which I don't use. 771 00:26:59,416 --> 00:27:01,208 And it was like, hey, by the way, you 772 00:27:01,208 --> 00:27:02,291 need to fill out this one 773 00:27:02,291 --> 00:27:03,500 little extra thing for your 774 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:05,125 metadata or else we're delisting your 775 00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:07,000 podcast in a week. And I didn't see it 776 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,500 because I don't check 777 00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,583 that email very often. So I just had to 778 00:27:10,583 --> 00:27:11,625 do that to get it back on 779 00:27:11,625 --> 00:27:12,708 there. Yeah. And there was one 780 00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:15,208 comment. Thank you. Yeah. I was going to 781 00:27:15,208 --> 00:27:16,791 say you go ahead. I can't remember the commenters name. 782 00:27:17,375 --> 00:27:20,875 I don't either. But thank you. One person 783 00:27:20,875 --> 00:27:23,000 said, yeah, thank you very 784 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,666 much for for that because 785 00:27:24,666 --> 00:27:27,250 I would have kept saying it's on Apple 786 00:27:27,250 --> 00:27:30,583 podcast when it wasn't. I 787 00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:31,958 said it too, dude. Don't worry 788 00:27:31,958 --> 00:27:35,875 about it. Yeah. So the first story this 789 00:27:35,875 --> 00:27:37,666 week, Sony is hiking the cost of the PlayStation five 790 00:27:37,916 --> 00:27:44,000 by 25 percent in the UK, Europe and 791 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,166 Australia. High tech. What 792 00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:50,291 is this about? So as it says, 793 00:27:50,541 --> 00:27:53,750 so it's only the low end one, the all 794 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:55,125 digital version of the PS 795 00:27:55,125 --> 00:27:56,291 five that's getting a price 796 00:27:56,291 --> 00:28:00,500 increase. But it's going up by the 797 00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:01,166 equivalent of like twenty 798 00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:01,500 five dollars like USD. It's 799 00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:07,625 I don't know. It's not even in the US as 800 00:28:07,625 --> 00:28:09,916 well. And some theories 801 00:28:09,916 --> 00:28:11,166 suggest that they're doing to 802 00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:13,791 quote unquote protect the US market where 803 00:28:13,791 --> 00:28:16,250 like, you know, if the 804 00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:18,541 tariffs do go through and I mean, 805 00:28:18,833 --> 00:28:20,166 it seems like at the very least the 806 00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:22,666 Chinese ones are going through, then, you 807 00:28:22,666 --> 00:28:23,375 know, the prices are 808 00:28:23,375 --> 00:28:25,125 almost certainly going to go up. And 809 00:28:25,125 --> 00:28:26,875 rather than just raise the prices in the 810 00:28:26,875 --> 00:28:27,375 US, they're going to 811 00:28:27,375 --> 00:28:29,833 raise the prices everywhere else as well. And this is this is a very interesting question. 812 00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:33,291 And this is this is this is an aspect of 813 00:28:33,291 --> 00:28:34,125 the tariffs that people 814 00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:35,250 don't typically talk about 815 00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:37,291 because, you know, a lot of people, 816 00:28:37,291 --> 00:28:38,541 especially abroad, think 817 00:28:38,541 --> 00:28:39,833 that tariffs are just going to 818 00:28:39,833 --> 00:28:41,958 affect the US. And in many ways they do. 819 00:28:42,875 --> 00:28:43,458 But at the same time, 820 00:28:43,458 --> 00:28:44,500 though, some companies, 821 00:28:45,083 --> 00:28:46,833 Sony in this case, will raise the prices 822 00:28:46,833 --> 00:28:47,958 for everyone just to 823 00:28:47,958 --> 00:28:49,166 maintain price parity. 824 00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:54,166 Regardless, it makes me think that 825 00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:56,000 they're kind of trying to go 826 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,333 after just making more money, 827 00:28:57,375 --> 00:28:59,708 not necessarily any other reason I don't. 828 00:28:59,708 --> 00:29:02,125 Yeah, certainly. Price 829 00:29:02,125 --> 00:29:03,375 parity, they use different 830 00:29:03,375 --> 00:29:05,291 currencies in us. What the hell? That's 831 00:29:05,291 --> 00:29:08,041 not even the thing. They already are 832 00:29:08,041 --> 00:29:10,000 like, with games alone, 833 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,875 let's say games, they'll be cheaper in 834 00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:12,916 other areas just so that 835 00:29:12,916 --> 00:29:13,666 they know that you can get 836 00:29:13,666 --> 00:29:15,541 sales. Like, I know this is hardware a 837 00:29:15,541 --> 00:29:17,958 little different, but I don't 838 00:29:17,958 --> 00:29:19,166 believe it. It's Christopher 839 00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:22,500 Drings. He's the editor of chief of and 840 00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:23,916 co-founder of the game business. And 841 00:29:23,916 --> 00:29:24,750 that's his speculation. 842 00:29:25,583 --> 00:29:29,625 And he also says the era of consoles 843 00:29:29,625 --> 00:29:30,958 going down in price as a 844 00:29:30,958 --> 00:29:32,875 generation goes on is over. 845 00:29:35,208 --> 00:29:38,791 I mean, that's kind of been over for a 846 00:29:38,791 --> 00:29:40,333 very long time. We have 847 00:29:40,333 --> 00:29:42,500 inflation alone that will 848 00:29:44,083 --> 00:29:47,875 naturally cause that to rise. So that's 849 00:29:47,875 --> 00:29:48,833 an interesting statement 850 00:29:48,833 --> 00:29:49,416 because I don't know if 851 00:29:49,416 --> 00:29:50,916 they've ever, have they ever really gone 852 00:29:50,916 --> 00:29:53,333 down over generations ever since? 853 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:56,458 Factor inflation, I think that they have. 854 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,916 Well, I think also just the 855 00:29:58,916 --> 00:30:00,125 price, they also just lower 856 00:30:00,125 --> 00:30:03,166 the prices of the consoles to in many 857 00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:04,875 cases, meaning like, oh, 858 00:30:04,875 --> 00:30:06,875 yeah, like, over time and 859 00:30:06,875 --> 00:30:09,041 current in the current generation, it 860 00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:11,125 goes like the PS4 did that 861 00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,083 like the base PS4 like that in 862 00:30:13,083 --> 00:30:14,833 price, like after a couple of years 863 00:30:14,833 --> 00:30:19,125 because yes, to them. I think it's a 864 00:30:19,125 --> 00:30:19,916 little preemptive to say 865 00:30:19,916 --> 00:30:22,083 that they're not going to lower prices on 866 00:30:22,083 --> 00:30:22,875 the generation over 867 00:30:22,875 --> 00:30:24,416 time. If their cells slump, 868 00:30:25,125 --> 00:30:27,125 they'll do stuff like when people are 869 00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:28,083 dealing with price issues 870 00:30:28,083 --> 00:30:29,500 like right now in the States, 871 00:30:29,875 --> 00:30:33,041 people are having to deal with high cost 872 00:30:33,041 --> 00:30:34,750 of living period with 873 00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:36,750 everything. They're going to, 874 00:30:36,750 --> 00:30:38,625 you know, they'll be choices made. 875 00:30:38,875 --> 00:30:39,625 They'll probably lower the 876 00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:41,916 prices again. Like I just don't, 877 00:30:41,916 --> 00:30:45,416 I don't see these companies preemptively 878 00:30:45,416 --> 00:30:46,833 say or like, or not 879 00:30:46,833 --> 00:30:48,208 preemptively saying, but just not 880 00:30:48,250 --> 00:30:51,458 lowering prices over time to in order to 881 00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:52,458 sell more consoles 882 00:30:52,458 --> 00:30:53,833 because then they make a lot off 883 00:30:53,833 --> 00:30:56,375 royalties when they do sell a console. 884 00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:59,458 Well, it does make the, it 885 00:30:59,458 --> 00:31:00,791 does make the regular version 886 00:31:00,791 --> 00:31:03,541 with a CD with a disc drive in more 887 00:31:03,541 --> 00:31:05,625 appealing offer by the 888 00:31:05,625 --> 00:31:07,416 other version being a much worse 889 00:31:07,416 --> 00:31:10,500 offer. And also even makes the PS5 Pro 890 00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,041 look good offer too in comparison. 891 00:31:12,083 --> 00:31:17,916 I think it's wacky that they are like 892 00:31:17,916 --> 00:31:20,833 that. Both Sony and 893 00:31:20,833 --> 00:31:23,125 Microsoft offer like the lower 894 00:31:23,208 --> 00:31:26,500 and the higher tier, like it splits your 895 00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:27,958 player base. It changes the 896 00:31:27,958 --> 00:31:30,791 specs. Like I, I just don't 897 00:31:30,791 --> 00:31:32,833 understand why they do it that way. Like, 898 00:31:33,875 --> 00:31:35,083 especially when like they 899 00:31:35,083 --> 00:31:36,250 raise the price of the lower tier 900 00:31:36,333 --> 00:31:39,208 one and it makes the higher tier one look 901 00:31:39,208 --> 00:31:42,250 like a better value, but I 902 00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:43,375 don't know. What do we know? 903 00:31:43,375 --> 00:31:46,541 Like, like what the ratio of low to high 904 00:31:46,541 --> 00:31:48,333 tier sales are. 905 00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:51,041 Unfortunately, I don't know where I 906 00:31:51,041 --> 00:31:53,291 could find that information. There's a 907 00:31:53,291 --> 00:31:54,708 lot of it. A lot of it is just like 908 00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:56,125 bundled. It's all PS5 909 00:31:56,125 --> 00:31:58,791 sales, not PS5 digital or PS5 physical 910 00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:02,416 sales. Also worth mentioning is that 911 00:32:02,416 --> 00:32:04,125 prices of PS7 going up, 912 00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:10,208 at least in Canada, $15 for the like the 913 00:32:10,208 --> 00:32:13,125 base version of PSN and then 914 00:32:13,125 --> 00:32:15,500 $35 for the other two tiers. 915 00:32:16,625 --> 00:32:18,750 Wow. That wasn't in the topic, but that 916 00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:20,750 also was just posted yesterday too. So 917 00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:23,458 yeah. So PlayStation 918 00:32:23,583 --> 00:32:26,333 five going up in price, PlayStation 919 00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:27,958 network to play online and 920 00:32:27,958 --> 00:32:30,458 going up in price on and like 921 00:32:31,458 --> 00:32:33,750 console players do get kind of pissed off 922 00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:36,125 when we say just build a PC because like 923 00:32:36,708 --> 00:32:39,000 PCs are expensive upfront and stuff like 924 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,958 that. And yeah, I mean, 925 00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,791 yeah, PCs are expensive upfront 926 00:32:41,791 --> 00:32:45,000 because of the fucking Nvidia. Yeah, but 927 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,333 yeah, why don't you build a PC? But at 928 00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:48,208 the same time though, 929 00:32:49,291 --> 00:32:50,666 well, there's, there's cheaper options 930 00:32:50,666 --> 00:32:51,875 coming out more and more. And 931 00:32:51,875 --> 00:32:53,250 thanks to, I think the mobile 932 00:32:53,291 --> 00:32:55,291 play, like a lot of companies going more 933 00:32:55,291 --> 00:32:57,541 into handheld, that is not 934 00:32:57,541 --> 00:32:59,708 phones, but has been helping 935 00:32:59,750 --> 00:33:03,000 with APUs getting stronger. And they're 936 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,375 pretty capable nowadays. 937 00:33:04,375 --> 00:33:05,000 We've talked about this multiple 938 00:33:05,041 --> 00:33:07,958 times. Like you, like this next 939 00:33:07,958 --> 00:33:10,125 generation coming up should be a fairly 940 00:33:10,125 --> 00:33:12,708 close to at least PS4, 941 00:33:13,166 --> 00:33:15,041 but maybe even get encroaching on PS5, 942 00:33:15,041 --> 00:33:16,000 like level performances. 943 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,208 If you tweak things, right. 944 00:33:17,625 --> 00:33:19,500 Now the games are optimized as much for 945 00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:20,500 this. That'd be a nice 946 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,916 feature, but just know that 947 00:33:23,916 --> 00:33:25,875 building a computer nowadays, you can 948 00:33:25,875 --> 00:33:27,541 start with an APU and still 949 00:33:27,541 --> 00:33:28,875 have some, if you get the right 950 00:33:28,875 --> 00:33:31,541 one and not be into the thousands, you 951 00:33:31,541 --> 00:33:32,500 could be under a thousand and 952 00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:33,833 have pretty good performance 953 00:33:33,916 --> 00:33:37,208 with your games. Yeah, absolutely. And 954 00:33:37,208 --> 00:33:38,000 you could get one of 955 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,083 these, I love this mini, 956 00:33:40,791 --> 00:33:44,958 minis forum, AI, whatever it is. How much 957 00:33:44,958 --> 00:33:47,000 is that one? It was like, 958 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,291 it was just under a thousand 959 00:33:48,416 --> 00:33:51,666 for that. But like, I think it was like 960 00:33:51,666 --> 00:33:52,958 eight, eight, 99 or 961 00:33:52,958 --> 00:33:55,916 something. But it has like excellent 962 00:33:56,083 --> 00:33:58,083 performance. It's not upgradable, right? 963 00:33:58,083 --> 00:33:59,750 Like you could build a cheaper PC 964 00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:01,041 yourself. But if you're 965 00:34:01,041 --> 00:34:02,791 a console gamer and you're coming from a 966 00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:04,625 console experience and you 967 00:34:04,625 --> 00:34:06,333 don't have the, you're not 968 00:34:06,333 --> 00:34:08,208 comfortable building a PC, something like 969 00:34:08,208 --> 00:34:10,208 that would be great for 970 00:34:10,208 --> 00:34:12,250 you. Does it support eGPUs? 971 00:34:13,375 --> 00:34:16,333 Yeah, there's a, there's a display link. 972 00:34:17,083 --> 00:34:18,250 That's right. That's 973 00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:19,291 right. So it is like, 974 00:34:20,083 --> 00:34:21,583 technically it is upgradable for probably 975 00:34:21,583 --> 00:34:25,166 a little while. I mean, display link, I 976 00:34:25,166 --> 00:34:25,916 don't have a display 977 00:34:25,958 --> 00:34:29,458 link hub or whatever you call it, but my 978 00:34:29,458 --> 00:34:31,458 understanding is that it display link. I 979 00:34:31,458 --> 00:34:32,166 thought it was Oculink. 980 00:34:33,333 --> 00:34:35,250 That's what it is. Oculink. Yeah. 981 00:34:36,083 --> 00:34:38,541 Oculink. I don't have one of those. So I 982 00:34:38,541 --> 00:34:40,041 haven't tested it, but 983 00:34:40,875 --> 00:34:43,125 my understanding is that it, it, it, it 984 00:34:43,125 --> 00:34:44,291 can become a bottleneck on 985 00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:46,083 high-end GPU's like through. 986 00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:49,041 Yeah. You're so, yeah, I get that. Yeah. 987 00:34:49,041 --> 00:34:49,750 You're definitely going to 988 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:51,916 hit limits with the like, 989 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,750 let's say 40 or 50, 80 and 90. You're 990 00:34:55,750 --> 00:34:56,541 going to be hitting like 991 00:34:56,541 --> 00:34:58,000 some limits at that point. 992 00:34:58,458 --> 00:34:59,875 You'll still get a little bit, but 993 00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,083 there's a bandwidth plus 994 00:35:02,083 --> 00:35:04,500 latency issue going on. It's 995 00:35:05,625 --> 00:35:07,333 definitely upgradable though. Like 996 00:35:07,333 --> 00:35:09,500 anything below that, which I think you're 997 00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:09,958 still going to have a 998 00:35:09,958 --> 00:35:13,375 really good time. I am curious to see 999 00:35:13,375 --> 00:35:14,750 with Thunderbolt and some 1000 00:35:14,750 --> 00:35:16,125 of these other, like we're 1001 00:35:16,166 --> 00:35:17,500 going to talk about a little later, some 1002 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,375 of these other display 1003 00:35:20,375 --> 00:35:23,583 display and also other 1004 00:35:24,333 --> 00:35:27,625 waste connectivity, waste connectivity 1005 00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:31,250 options to increase that 1006 00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,333 bandwidth to have better, 1007 00:35:32,625 --> 00:35:34,583 you know, upgradable. I just really like 1008 00:35:34,583 --> 00:35:35,833 eGPs. I'm going off on a 1009 00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:37,500 tangent now because I like the 1010 00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:39,250 idea that I can get a small little device 1011 00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:40,333 and upgrade it over time. 1012 00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:42,000 So hopefully we continue 1013 00:35:42,333 --> 00:35:44,833 down that route. Yeah. You know, the Fox 1014 00:35:44,833 --> 00:35:47,291 doesn't have a gaming 1015 00:35:47,291 --> 00:35:48,583 desktop anymore. He's 1016 00:35:48,583 --> 00:35:51,666 given up that entire setup and tired to 1017 00:35:51,666 --> 00:35:54,875 go full in on Oculink and all that 1018 00:35:54,875 --> 00:35:56,250 modularity.

So 1024 00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:13,500 anyways, back to PC gaming, 1025 00:36:14,166 --> 00:36:16,541 there are two main strengths I consider 1026 00:36:16,541 --> 00:36:17,291 when it comes to PC 1027 00:36:17,291 --> 00:36:18,791 gaming.

I would hope because they, 1197 00:42:31,708 --> 00:42:34,166 they had to eat so much shit with the 1198 00:42:34,166 --> 00:42:36,583 original and having, I think they had 1199 00:42:36,583 --> 00:42:37,458 class action lawsuit 1200 00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:39,500 that made it this. So they had to do 1201 00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:40,833 repairs. I don't think 1202 00:42:40,833 --> 00:42:41,833 they're going to make that same 1203 00:42:41,833 --> 00:42:45,708 mistake. Um, but we'll see. Like I don't 1204 00:42:45,708 --> 00:42:46,625 think it will. I think 1205 00:42:46,625 --> 00:42:47,750 they're going to test the durability 1206 00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:52,083 and I think they'll last a lot longer. If 1207 00:42:52,083 --> 00:42:52,750 that doesn't mean that 1208 00:42:52,750 --> 00:42:53,625 they're not going to have stick 1209 00:42:53,625 --> 00:42:55,333 drift in like three years, but two years, 1210 00:42:55,791 --> 00:42:56,333 but I think they're going 1211 00:42:56,333 --> 00:42:57,666 to be passed a warranty and 1212 00:42:57,666 --> 00:43:01,833 pass some other, um, uh, class action 1213 00:43:01,833 --> 00:43:08,500 lawsuit, uh, danger zone there. So, um, 1214 00:43:09,208 --> 00:43:11,125 you know, I did a little 1215 00:43:11,125 --> 00:43:13,666 bit of, um, a little bit of math, cause I 1216 00:43:13,666 --> 00:43:14,625 don't know exactly how 1217 00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:16,208 long I've played on my switch, 1218 00:43:16,791 --> 00:43:21,750 um, with the joy cons, but I've only 1219 00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:23,750 played, uh, Mario 1220 00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:25,958 Odyssey and I've only played 1221 00:43:26,166 --> 00:43:29,708 Metroid dread on, on the switch in joy 1222 00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:31,416 con in handheld mode, right? 1223 00:43:31,916 --> 00:43:32,916 Every other game I've played 1224 00:43:32,916 --> 00:43:35,916 on my switch, I've played with, uh, a pro 1225 00:43:35,916 --> 00:43:37,666 controller on a TV, right? 1226 00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:40,208 And so, and if you look at like 1227 00:43:40,208 --> 00:43:41,541 how long to be, um, this is something 1228 00:43:41,541 --> 00:43:42,583 that's coming up in my next 1229 00:43:42,583 --> 00:43:43,833 video. If you look at how long to 1230 00:43:43,833 --> 00:43:46,875 beat for those two games, it's like, you 1231 00:43:46,875 --> 00:43:48,250 know, 18 hours or something 1232 00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:50,208 like that. And then you add on 1233 00:43:50,208 --> 00:43:51,958 at least 10 hours because I'm, I'm like 1234 00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:54,666 really bad at video games. And, and I 1235 00:43:54,666 --> 00:43:56,250 have stick drift on my 1236 00:43:56,250 --> 00:44:01,291 sticks, right?

So it's like, I don't 1244 00:44:18,166 --> 00:44:19,750 know. It's a thing that affects 1245 00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:21,666 pretty much everybody. Even if you don't 1246 00:44:21,666 --> 00:44:23,000 really use the joy cons that 1247 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,166 much, it's, it's crazy to me. 1248 00:44:25,333 --> 00:44:27,333 How old are the joy cons?

Uh, 1251 00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:32,375 I bought this, well, I guess they're not 1252 00:44:32,375 --> 00:44:33,750 launched day because I bought it like 1253 00:44:33,750 --> 00:44:37,000 right after the, um, 1254 00:44:37,458 --> 00:44:40,625 like the, the, the hack, the hardware 1255 00:44:40,625 --> 00:44:43,500 hack came out. Okay. So 1256 00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:44,666 it was like eight months. 1257 00:44:45,708 --> 00:44:47,416 Yeah. Any period within like a year of 1258 00:44:47,416 --> 00:44:48,666 those controllers coming 1259 00:44:48,666 --> 00:44:49,750 out, they could be longer. 1260 00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:51,041 I'm just giving you like an arbitrary 1261 00:44:51,041 --> 00:44:52,541 date to just make it easier. 1262 00:44:52,875 --> 00:44:55,000 You're going to end up with 1263 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,250 that strict stick drift on most of 1264 00:44:57,250 --> 00:44:58,500 controllers event. Like that's, that's 1265 00:44:58,500 --> 00:44:59,333 why there was such an 1266 00:44:59,375 --> 00:45:01,583 easy, that's why they had to handle it. 1267 00:45:01,583 --> 00:45:02,666 They had to handle all the 1268 00:45:02,666 --> 00:45:04,166 stick drift and have a whole 1269 00:45:04,166 --> 00:45:06,625 system to replace controllers because it 1270 00:45:06,625 --> 00:45:08,250 was such a bad problem. 1271 00:45:09,333 --> 00:45:11,291 Um, I can definitely say that 1272 00:45:12,250 --> 00:45:14,416 I I've had multiple controllers, 1273 00:45:14,416 --> 00:45:15,416 partially because my kids 1274 00:45:15,416 --> 00:45:16,500 are hard on their controllers 1275 00:45:16,875 --> 00:45:20,791 since day one to over the past few years. 1276 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,416 And the newer ones do the 1277 00:45:22,416 --> 00:45:23,583 last law law. I have not had any 1278 00:45:23,583 --> 00:45:28,541 stick drift on the newer ones, but that's 1279 00:45:28,541 --> 00:45:31,958 saying I, I'm not gonna, we 1280 00:45:31,958 --> 00:45:33,375 don't play it as much now, 1281 00:45:33,583 --> 00:45:35,416 but it definitely has more hours than the 1282 00:45:35,416 --> 00:45:38,166 older ones. But I not 1283 00:45:38,166 --> 00:45:39,000 saying that there's not going to 1284 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,708 be a stick drift issue. I just, I, I 1285 00:45:41,708 --> 00:45:43,541 would not see it happening within the 1286 00:45:43,541 --> 00:45:44,666 first years. I think 1287 00:45:44,916 --> 00:45:46,458 Nintendo at the very least learned their 1288 00:45:46,458 --> 00:45:48,666 lesson from that. I would hope so too. 1289 00:45:49,083 --> 00:45:50,916 I would hope so too. We'll see. Cause 1290 00:45:50,916 --> 00:45:51,458 they're going to lose a 1291 00:45:51,458 --> 00:45:52,708 lot of money. Like why, why, 1292 00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:56,166 why lose the money? Fix it in the R and D 1293 00:45:56,166 --> 00:45:57,875 and on that level, that 1294 00:45:57,875 --> 00:45:59,166 side, or else you're just 1295 00:45:59,166 --> 00:46:00,458 going to be paying a less shitload more 1296 00:46:00,458 --> 00:46:02,833 money. Maybe that's why 1297 00:46:02,833 --> 00:46:04,000 the switch too. So expensive 1298 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,291 because I lost a shitload of money from 1299 00:46:06,291 --> 00:46:08,333 joy. They're bitter. 1300 00:46:08,541 --> 00:46:10,041 They're like, you sued us. We're 1301 00:46:10,041 --> 00:46:11,500 going to, we're going to get it back. 1302 00:46:13,583 --> 00:46:16,583 Yeah. That'd be hilarious. 1303 00:46:18,083 --> 00:46:21,166 Um, yeah, the price increases is 1304 00:46:21,208 --> 00:46:23,750 great. Like I, I shocked that they were 1305 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:25,541 actually smaller. Like that's why I'm 1306 00:46:25,541 --> 00:46:26,041 saying like, I think 1307 00:46:26,041 --> 00:46:28,208 these are preemptive, but they're smaller 1308 00:46:28,208 --> 00:46:29,583 than they technically 1309 00:46:29,583 --> 00:46:31,708 should be to match in, uh, what, 1310 00:46:31,833 --> 00:46:36,250 uh, tariffs are, but still crazy to see a 1311 00:46:36,250 --> 00:46:37,083 price increase right 1312 00:46:37,083 --> 00:46:39,041 before launch like this. And I 1313 00:46:39,041 --> 00:46:40,000 don't think they want to, I think they're 1314 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,375 doing it here and not 1315 00:46:41,375 --> 00:46:42,375 touching the console itself. 1316 00:46:42,375 --> 00:46:44,083 Cause they know if they touch the console 1317 00:46:44,083 --> 00:46:45,833 too much, it's going to 1318 00:46:45,833 --> 00:46:46,750 hurt their cells a lot. 1319 00:46:47,208 --> 00:46:49,958 Oh yeah. Oh yeah. For sure. I mean, uh, 1320 00:46:49,958 --> 00:46:51,375 what, what's like the average 1321 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:55,000 increase like percentage here? Um, is it 1322 00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:00,125 like around five or 10% maybe? Um, um, 1323 00:47:01,708 --> 00:47:04,375 Oh, yeah. That's for most of these. Yeah. 1324 00:47:05,125 --> 00:47:07,125 It varies. It's not, it's not one set 1325 00:47:07,291 --> 00:47:09,708 percentage increase. Yeah. It's really 1326 00:47:09,708 --> 00:47:10,916 hard.

Don't get the 1427 00:51:09,958 --> 00:51:11,375 JSX version of that accessory. 1428 00:51:11,666 --> 00:51:13,041 If you're going to get a racing wheel, 1429 00:51:13,333 --> 00:51:15,500 dude, just 3d print one. It's just 1430 00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:16,666 plastic. I'm imagining. 1431 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,416 Is it better though? And that's my thing 1432 00:51:18,416 --> 00:51:19,250 at the end of the day, 1433 00:51:19,250 --> 00:51:20,375 which one looks more comfortable 1434 00:51:20,375 --> 00:51:24,208 or better. And that's, uh, I don't even 1435 00:51:24,208 --> 00:51:25,250 know what the actual one 1436 00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:26,208 looks like to be honest. 1437 00:51:27,833 --> 00:51:29,416 So this looks like your standard, like a 1438 00:51:29,416 --> 00:51:31,250 steering wheel for a car. The JSX one 1439 00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:32,041 kind of looks like a 1440 00:51:32,166 --> 00:51:35,291 steering wheel for like a Ferrari. Where 1441 00:51:35,291 --> 00:51:38,875 it's like, what's the point of this? Um, 1442 00:51:39,375 --> 00:51:42,125 like my kids would like it.

Um, but yeah, I mean, 1446 00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:52,583 it did. It's the one thing 1447 00:51:52,583 --> 00:51:53,875 I'm seeing it doing is it's 1448 00:51:53,875 --> 00:51:56,375 adding buttons. Like it's adding like 1449 00:51:56,375 --> 00:51:57,708 levers that will like shorter 1450 00:51:57,708 --> 00:51:59,958 buttons. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, 1451 00:52:00,166 --> 00:52:03,625 which that can be useful, but, uh, to be 1452 00:52:03,625 --> 00:52:04,750 fair, that looks actually 1453 00:52:04,750 --> 00:52:06,416 much more useful and much 1454 00:52:06,416 --> 00:52:09,250 better than the original.

We can 1460 00:52:19,708 --> 00:52:21,291 actually look at all of the wall, the 1461 00:52:21,291 --> 00:52:24,291 ones they have. All right. 1462 00:52:25,250 --> 00:52:30,958 Um, yeah. All right.

It's 1474 00:52:56,333 --> 00:52:57,041 like one of those, it's like 1475 00:52:57,041 --> 00:52:58,458 one of those Ferrari racing, 1476 00:52:58,458 --> 00:53:02,208 like Ferrari, uh, steering.

01:12:12,041 Speaking of GPUs, though, 1974 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,958 China has a new HDMI competitor, 1975 01:12:16,833 --> 01:12:17,500 GPMI. 1976 01:12:18,333 --> 01:12:19,000 This is interesting. 1977 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:19,541 I'm just going to share 1978 01:12:19,541 --> 01:12:20,916 the doc here for this. 1979 01:12:21,125 --> 01:12:22,375 Yeah, we've got a nice table here. 1980 01:12:23,458 --> 01:12:24,458 What do what do what do what do what do? 1981 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,291 What do what do we got here? 1982 01:12:26,291 --> 01:12:27,500 What's going on with this story? 1983 01:12:28,291 --> 01:12:31,041 So I say before a consortium of 50 or so 1984 01:12:31,041 --> 01:12:32,166 Chinese companies came 1985 01:12:32,166 --> 01:12:33,208 together to come up with 1986 01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:34,916 GPMI or general 1987 01:12:34,916 --> 01:12:38,458 purpose multimedia interface. 1988 01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:39,166 Media interface. 1989 01:12:39,458 --> 01:12:40,500 That sounds yeah, it sounds right. 1990 01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:41,250 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1991 01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:44,541 So oh, we're spoiling the next topic. 1992 01:12:45,833 --> 01:12:46,750 But that's okay. 1993 01:12:46,750 --> 01:12:47,666 We'll talk about that later. 1994 01:12:47,666 --> 01:12:49,375 But anyways, there's 1995 01:12:49,375 --> 01:12:50,291 two different versions. 1996 01:12:50,583 --> 01:12:52,416 There's a type B and a type C version. 1997 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,208 The type C version goes over. 1998 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,708 It goes through, you know, 1999 01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,375 standard USB type C interfaces. 2000 01:13:00,666 --> 01:13:02,041 And the type V version is 2001 01:13:02,041 --> 01:13:04,000 a proprietary connector. 2002 01:13:04,291 --> 01:13:06,125 It's it's like it's been described as 2003 01:13:06,125 --> 01:13:07,166 looking like a sort of 2004 01:13:07,166 --> 01:13:08,791 elongated USB C port. 2005 01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:12,416 Oh, yeah, I should 2006 01:13:12,416 --> 01:13:13,333 pull up a picture of that. 2007 01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:15,500 Which I'm down for. 2008 01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:17,666 Like, honestly, just stick with these. 2009 01:13:19,208 --> 01:13:20,375 I don't think there are 2010 01:13:20,375 --> 01:13:21,666 any actual pictures of this. 2011 01:13:21,708 --> 01:13:23,250 It's just been described as such. 2012 01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,125 Oh, really? 2013 01:13:24,375 --> 01:13:24,541 Okay. 2014 01:13:24,708 --> 01:13:25,500 By really? 2015 01:13:25,875 --> 01:13:26,291 I swear. 2016 01:13:26,791 --> 01:13:30,166 Oh, I think there's nothing but there 2017 01:13:30,166 --> 01:13:31,333 wasn't one on Tom's hardware. 2018 01:13:31,583 --> 01:13:33,875 But yeah, I'm sure there 2019 01:13:33,875 --> 01:13:35,375 probably is a picture somewhere. 2020 01:13:36,666 --> 01:13:38,041 But if you look at it jumps out to me, 2021 01:13:38,041 --> 01:13:39,958 the most is like I 2022 01:13:39,958 --> 01:13:41,041 feel like it's just too. 2023 01:13:41,333 --> 01:13:42,708 Why do they call it type B anyways? 2024 01:13:42,958 --> 01:13:45,000 But there's it is just two types. 2025 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:45,958 He's joined together. 2026 01:13:47,041 --> 01:13:50,000 Oh, so double the wattage, double 2027 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,708 essentially double the bandwidth. 2028 01:13:54,541 --> 01:13:57,875 That is very interesting to me. 2029 01:13:58,333 --> 01:14:00,041 It's insane. 2030 01:14:02,375 --> 01:14:04,958 But the cool thing, like with the max 2031 01:14:04,958 --> 01:14:07,000 with the max stuff that I have, 2032 01:14:07,666 --> 01:14:09,500 you like if you have a MacBook, you can 2033 01:14:09,500 --> 01:14:11,000 power your MacBook through 2034 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:12,125 your monitor and just have 2035 01:14:12,125 --> 01:14:13,500 one cord going through everything. 2036 01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:16,583 Like I my my desk so cluttered right now, 2037 01:14:16,583 --> 01:14:18,875 I do like that they're 2038 01:14:18,875 --> 01:14:19,750 offering more wattage 2039 01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:20,291 through this. 2040 01:14:20,291 --> 01:14:23,666 So if I had, let's say, an APU based 2041 01:14:23,666 --> 01:14:26,166 based desktop, that's just much smaller. 2042 01:14:26,666 --> 01:14:27,458 Like I could power it 2043 01:14:27,458 --> 01:14:28,458 through this would be awesome. 2044 01:14:29,625 --> 01:14:31,500 So does that that looks reversible? 2045 01:14:32,500 --> 01:14:33,666 If it's reversible, it'll 2046 01:14:33,666 --> 01:14:35,750 instantly be better than HDMI. 2047 01:14:36,916 --> 01:14:38,625 Yeah, but it's just too. 2048 01:14:39,666 --> 01:14:41,000 It's essentially just 2049 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,375 think of it as two types. 2050 01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:43,541 He's joined together. 2051 01:14:44,583 --> 01:14:45,625 Dude, that's sick. 2052 01:14:46,083 --> 01:14:49,416 I forgot about the fact that HDMI sucks 2053 01:14:49,416 --> 01:14:51,500 because of this because I don't like to. 2054 01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:53,958 But dude, that's sick. 2055 01:14:55,625 --> 01:14:57,500 I want to be in the US. 2056 01:14:58,083 --> 01:14:59,458 It's going to make me sound like a sort 2057 01:14:59,458 --> 01:15:01,583 of a traitor to the US, but I don't care. 2058 01:15:02,625 --> 01:15:06,083 Well, HDMI is such a shitty thing anyway. 2059 01:15:06,083 --> 01:15:08,208 Like it's fully like encumbered with 2060 01:15:08,208 --> 01:15:10,125 patents and like natural property. 2061 01:15:10,416 --> 01:15:12,958 And it's so it's so stupid. 2062 01:15:12,958 --> 01:15:15,708 Like I actually hate HDMI. 2063 01:15:16,125 --> 01:15:17,500 So I don't think it makes you a traitor. 2064 01:15:17,750 --> 01:15:19,666 I take no, we need to switch over to 2065 01:15:19,666 --> 01:15:21,083 something that's universal like this. 2066 01:15:21,083 --> 01:15:22,875 That's that just makes sense. 2067 01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:26,041 The the issue that I have with this is 2068 01:15:26,041 --> 01:15:27,166 this is yet another 2069 01:15:27,166 --> 01:15:28,791 instance of a different 2070 01:15:30,416 --> 01:15:34,083 like standard using type C, and it's just 2071 01:15:34,083 --> 01:15:35,916 going to make things even 2072 01:15:35,916 --> 01:15:37,083 more confusing with type C. 2073 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,083 Because it's you know, there's USB and 2074 01:15:40,083 --> 01:15:41,291 Thunderbolt, which are both like 2075 01:15:41,291 --> 01:15:43,708 inter operable as far as I understand it 2076 01:15:43,708 --> 01:15:45,083 to some degree, right? 2077 01:15:45,416 --> 01:15:48,458 It's it's ratings and it's Thunderbolt 2078 01:15:48,458 --> 01:15:50,250 has its patents under it. 2079 01:15:50,250 --> 01:15:51,500 That's why they're probably making this 2080 01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:53,791 is that this is comparable to Thunderbolt 2081 01:15:55,041 --> 01:15:55,875 four or five. 2082 01:15:55,875 --> 01:15:56,583 I think five. 2083 01:15:57,208 --> 01:15:59,250 And I bet you it's just to get around the 2084 01:15:59,250 --> 01:16:01,208 patents for Thunderbolt. 2085 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:02,875 That makes sense. 2086 01:16:02,875 --> 01:16:03,041 Yeah. 2087 01:16:03,458 --> 01:16:04,416 Did I what did I say? 2088 01:16:04,416 --> 01:16:05,208 Did I say Thunderbolt? 2089 01:16:05,916 --> 01:16:06,166 I feel like it's. 2090 01:16:07,291 --> 01:16:08,458 Okay, you did. 2091 01:16:09,041 --> 01:16:09,708 I don't know. 2092 01:16:09,708 --> 01:16:13,333 But this this is just is GPMI going to 2093 01:16:13,333 --> 01:16:15,625 support USB for as well 2094 01:16:15,625 --> 01:16:17,250 or is it just going to be 2095 01:16:17,833 --> 01:16:19,708 dedicated for the GPMI interface? 2096 01:16:20,625 --> 01:16:22,291 Honestly, I mean, I don't know. 2097 01:16:22,291 --> 01:16:24,125 I think I think only time will tell. 2098 01:16:24,375 --> 01:16:28,625 But yeah, I mean, I it's interesting. 2099 01:16:28,625 --> 01:16:29,166 I like this. 2100 01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:30,791 I think this is neat. 2101 01:16:31,833 --> 01:16:33,250 And as long as it's not like encumbered 2102 01:16:33,250 --> 01:16:35,583 with patents and IP, I think 2103 01:16:36,416 --> 01:16:39,125 I'd like to see this come to fruition. 2104 01:16:39,333 --> 01:16:41,291 But the thing the other thing that I was 2105 01:16:41,291 --> 01:16:42,583 thinking is like these 2106 01:16:42,583 --> 01:16:43,875 are going to be hefty 2107 01:16:43,916 --> 01:16:44,875 cables, right? 2108 01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:47,458 I mean, it's going to be I'm imagining if 2109 01:16:47,458 --> 01:16:48,625 it's two USBCs 2110 01:16:48,625 --> 01:16:49,958 together, it's going to be like 2111 01:16:50,791 --> 01:16:53,083 double the the conductors 2112 01:16:53,083 --> 01:16:54,833 in the in the cable, right? 2113 01:16:55,541 --> 01:16:55,750 Yeah. 2114 01:16:56,458 --> 01:16:59,375 So with this like narrow looking thing, 2115 01:16:59,375 --> 01:17:00,250 I'm worried about like 2116 01:17:00,250 --> 01:17:01,583 stress, like pulling the, 2117 01:17:01,625 --> 01:17:05,583 you know, on the connector itself. 2118 01:17:06,500 --> 01:17:07,708 I am a little bit worried because I'm 2119 01:17:07,708 --> 01:17:08,416 looking at that connector. 2120 01:17:08,416 --> 01:17:09,250 I'm a little worried that they could 2121 01:17:09,250 --> 01:17:10,875 easily bend and break if 2122 01:17:10,875 --> 01:17:12,250 they don't have a locking 2123 01:17:12,250 --> 01:17:13,708 mechanism, a good locking mechanism. 2124 01:17:14,166 --> 01:17:17,041 But yeah, like the geometry of an HDMI 2125 01:17:17,041 --> 01:17:20,791 and a an HDMI port, it 2126 01:17:20,791 --> 01:17:23,250 feels like it's secure. 2127 01:17:23,458 --> 01:17:25,125 Like even if you have a hefty cable 2128 01:17:25,125 --> 01:17:26,125 coming off of it, it's 2129 01:17:26,125 --> 01:17:27,500 going to stay in there. 2130 01:17:27,541 --> 01:17:30,625 I just play boards, do a pretty good job. 2131 01:17:30,625 --> 01:17:32,000 They also have a locking mechanism in it, 2132 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,666 which is sometimes really annoying. 2133 01:17:33,958 --> 01:17:36,666 But yeah, they let me know. 2134 01:17:36,666 --> 01:17:38,375 But I still would rather have something 2135 01:17:38,375 --> 01:17:39,250 like this and have a 2136 01:17:39,250 --> 01:17:41,458 more universal like go away. 2137 01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:43,666 Fuck HDMI display. 2138 01:17:43,666 --> 01:17:44,500 Just everything. 2139 01:17:44,500 --> 01:17:46,833 Let's just slowly go to it more unified. 2140 01:17:47,083 --> 01:17:49,166 Honestly, I'd prefer them just do two 2141 01:17:49,166 --> 01:17:51,166 types, these together in 2142 01:17:51,166 --> 01:17:52,250 one cable that has to be 2143 01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:53,791 plugged in just so that we stick with a 2144 01:17:53,791 --> 01:17:56,000 universal connector. 2145 01:17:56,958 --> 01:17:59,458 Connector, but I get why they're going 2146 01:17:59,458 --> 01:18:00,458 the other route and it 2147 01:18:00,458 --> 01:18:01,291 looks like it's a little 2148 01:18:01,291 --> 01:18:03,833 bigger than a type C, so it might have 2149 01:18:03,833 --> 01:18:07,208 room to grow with bandwidth and stuff. 2150 01:18:07,375 --> 01:18:08,250 It'll be interesting. 2151 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:12,625 Yeah, so I mean, 480 watts is quite a bit 2152 01:18:12,625 --> 01:18:14,500 like entire computers 2153 01:18:14,500 --> 01:18:16,041 can be powered through 2154 01:18:16,041 --> 01:18:17,750 480 watts alone. 2155 01:18:18,083 --> 01:18:20,833 Yeah, but if you have a 5090, if you have 2156 01:18:20,833 --> 01:18:22,625 a 5090, it won't even power the 5090. 2157 01:18:23,291 --> 01:18:26,125 I mean, OK, not not a computer with a not 2158 01:18:26,125 --> 01:18:29,375 a computer with a dedicated GPU, but like 2159 01:18:30,166 --> 01:18:32,250 your computer with a dedicated, it could 2160 01:18:32,250 --> 01:18:34,041 still do depending on which one it is. 2161 01:18:35,375 --> 01:18:37,500 Yeah, but the power delivery is probably 2162 01:18:37,500 --> 01:18:39,000 the most interesting aspect because 2163 01:18:39,750 --> 01:18:42,250 I don't think I've ever I don't think 2164 01:18:42,250 --> 01:18:44,250 I've ever thought of a 2165 01:18:44,250 --> 01:18:45,375 essentially what it says, 2166 01:18:45,375 --> 01:18:47,375 display cable providing power. 2167 01:18:47,375 --> 01:18:48,750 But now that that's the case, I mean, 2168 01:18:49,833 --> 01:18:51,250 what possibilities could we have? 2169 01:18:51,291 --> 01:18:53,458 Can we power our PS5s 2170 01:18:53,458 --> 01:18:54,958 from just the TV alone? 2171 01:18:55,375 --> 01:18:57,083 That'd be crazy if that was true. 2172 01:18:57,750 --> 01:18:59,500 Yeah, the TV or yeah, so 2173 01:18:59,500 --> 01:19:02,125 they did it back in the 90s. 2174 01:19:02,125 --> 01:19:04,875 Like there were a couple of Macs that had 2175 01:19:04,875 --> 01:19:06,000 just a single cable 2176 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,041 coming from the from the 2177 01:19:08,416 --> 01:19:09,875 like tower or whatever. 2178 01:19:10,291 --> 01:19:11,291 Max still can do that. 2179 01:19:11,583 --> 01:19:13,666 If my Mac studio, if they had this 2180 01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:15,666 connector, could do it 2181 01:19:15,666 --> 01:19:17,083 like it doesn't consume enough 2182 01:19:17,125 --> 01:19:18,333 power to hit 480. 2183 01:19:19,333 --> 01:19:22,666 But the Mac book I have, yes, it is 2184 01:19:22,666 --> 01:19:23,583 designed to be able to be 2185 01:19:23,583 --> 01:19:25,041 powered off of like a Mac 2186 01:19:25,750 --> 01:19:27,458 studio or whatever they are, the Mac 2187 01:19:27,458 --> 01:19:29,541 displays or third party displays that 2188 01:19:29,541 --> 01:19:31,083 have power throughput. 2189 01:19:31,791 --> 01:19:33,458 So you don't you get a lot 2190 01:19:33,458 --> 01:19:35,791 of like you get a lot of USB. 2191 01:19:37,375 --> 01:19:38,125 You just you get a 2192 01:19:38,125 --> 01:19:39,166 lot of benefit from it. 2193 01:19:39,166 --> 01:19:39,833 It's pretty cool. 2194 01:19:40,291 --> 01:19:41,833 I just I'm getting tired of cables. 2195 01:19:42,833 --> 01:19:44,041 And so it'd be nice 2196 01:19:44,041 --> 01:19:44,791 to have just one cable. 2197 01:19:45,500 --> 01:19:48,333 Yeah, here's a question. 2198 01:19:49,666 --> 01:19:53,000 So they have type C, which is like a USB 2199 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:54,958 type C and they have type B, 2200 01:19:56,333 --> 01:20:00,291 which is, you know, I would I don't like 2201 01:20:00,291 --> 01:20:01,291 I don't care for this 2202 01:20:01,291 --> 01:20:02,375 naming convention here 2203 01:20:02,541 --> 01:20:05,000 because like what's type A, right? 2204 01:20:05,333 --> 01:20:07,041 Like the existence of type C 2205 01:20:07,041 --> 01:20:08,875 and type B implies a type A. 2206 01:20:09,666 --> 01:20:14,291 And also like the USB standard used to be 2207 01:20:14,291 --> 01:20:16,000 like like type A was for 2208 01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:19,458 the for the host and type B 2209 01:20:19,458 --> 01:20:22,208 was for the client or 2210 01:20:22,208 --> 01:20:23,208 whatever you would call it. 2211 01:20:23,208 --> 01:20:23,416 Right. 2212 01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:24,500 Like it was a host. 2213 01:20:25,458 --> 01:20:27,708 So I don't know that naming convention, 2214 01:20:28,083 --> 01:20:29,375 especially sticking with 2215 01:20:29,375 --> 01:20:31,916 the naming convention that USB 2216 01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:34,166 set up, it seems a little weird. 2217 01:20:34,666 --> 01:20:35,458 I don't know, man. 2218 01:20:36,083 --> 01:20:36,458 All I know. 2219 01:20:36,500 --> 01:20:38,916 All I know for sure is 2220 01:20:38,916 --> 01:20:42,625 that it's a standard. 2221 01:20:42,625 --> 01:20:43,583 We don't know if it's going to be open 2222 01:20:43,583 --> 01:20:44,291 source, to be honest. 2223 01:20:44,750 --> 01:20:46,541 But given that it's being made by the 2224 01:20:46,541 --> 01:20:48,416 Chinese like a Chinese consortium, 2225 01:20:49,416 --> 01:20:52,291 it might be more open source, not like a 2226 01:20:52,291 --> 01:20:53,750 not like a traditional like 2227 01:20:53,750 --> 01:20:55,083 it's on GitHub sort of deal 2228 01:20:55,125 --> 01:20:55,875 open source. 2229 01:20:56,750 --> 01:20:59,541 But they do tend to publish specific 2230 01:20:59,541 --> 01:21:01,166 documents in regards to these, 2231 01:21:01,166 --> 01:21:01,791 at least from what I 2232 01:21:01,791 --> 01:21:03,541 understand, like for everyone to access. 2233 01:21:04,875 --> 01:21:04,958 Yeah. 2234 01:21:05,833 --> 01:21:06,833 So there's a good chance that 2235 01:21:06,833 --> 01:21:08,500 this might be a new standard 2236 01:21:09,375 --> 01:21:11,041 that we're seeing, like the birth of a 2237 01:21:11,041 --> 01:21:11,791 new standard that 2238 01:21:11,791 --> 01:21:14,000 might not die immediately. 2239 01:21:15,458 --> 01:21:17,083 Yeah, I'm interested to 2240 01:21:17,083 --> 01:21:18,333 see where it goes for sure. 2241 01:21:21,208 --> 01:21:22,833 Speaking of something that recently died. 2242 01:21:24,958 --> 01:21:27,291 For Chan is still down, right? 2243 01:21:27,791 --> 01:21:29,000 Is it still down? 2244 01:21:29,250 --> 01:21:29,583 You should check. 2245 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:30,125 Yeah. 2246 01:21:31,375 --> 01:21:31,750 Okay. 2247 01:21:33,125 --> 01:21:34,333 How do I check for Chan? 2248 01:21:34,750 --> 01:21:35,708 Go over whatever. 2249 01:21:36,500 --> 01:21:37,041 That word. 2250 01:21:37,208 --> 01:21:38,000 That word. 2251 01:21:38,083 --> 01:21:38,500 Yeah. 2252 01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:38,833 For chance. 2253 01:21:38,833 --> 01:21:39,291 A website. 2254 01:21:40,250 --> 01:21:41,000 Oh, God. 2255 01:21:42,291 --> 01:21:42,458 Nope. 2256 01:21:44,250 --> 01:21:45,541 No, that's an Apache 2257 01:21:45,541 --> 01:21:46,875 error right there, too. 2258 01:21:47,625 --> 01:21:48,666 They're going off of what? 2259 01:21:48,666 --> 01:21:50,250 A 10 year old version of PHP. 2260 01:21:50,250 --> 01:21:51,000 I think so. 2261 01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:53,166 I think there's a lot of stuff. 2262 01:21:53,583 --> 01:21:55,041 I watched. 2263 01:21:55,708 --> 01:21:56,166 I watched. 2264 01:21:57,208 --> 01:21:58,125 What's that guy's name? 2265 01:21:58,625 --> 01:22:00,375 I watched a guy who like went through 2266 01:22:00,375 --> 01:22:01,708 like the source code leak 2267 01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:05,416 and he was like showing how like every 2268 01:22:05,416 --> 01:22:06,625 issue with the code. 2269 01:22:07,666 --> 01:22:09,000 And it's pretty bad. 2270 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:10,541 It's like it's a perfect 2271 01:22:10,541 --> 01:22:13,833 example of was a PHP spaghetti. 2272 01:22:14,750 --> 01:22:15,125 Was a mood. 2273 01:22:15,125 --> 01:22:16,708 A heart from some ordinary gamers. 2274 01:22:17,833 --> 01:22:20,458 No, it's a blonde guy. 2275 01:22:21,791 --> 01:22:22,541 I'll find him. 2276 01:22:22,791 --> 01:22:23,916 Oh, I mean, that sounds like something 2277 01:22:23,916 --> 01:22:25,375 ordinary gamers would do. 2278 01:22:25,375 --> 01:22:26,583 Diamond the source code for four Chan. 2279 01:22:27,458 --> 01:22:28,000 Yeah. 2280 01:22:28,125 --> 01:22:30,416 But I mean, four Chan's an old like an 2281 01:22:30,416 --> 01:22:32,291 old like dinosaur at this point. 2282 01:22:32,291 --> 01:22:33,916 It was like basically 2283 01:22:33,916 --> 01:22:34,875 bored of the internet. 2284 01:22:36,125 --> 01:22:37,750 It was birthed by a guy named Moot who 2285 01:22:37,750 --> 01:22:38,916 then sold it to the Japanese. 2286 01:22:39,166 --> 01:22:39,791 And the Japanese has 2287 01:22:39,791 --> 01:22:40,750 had it for like 10 years. 2288 01:22:41,875 --> 01:22:42,291 Oh, really? 2289 01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:44,125 I didn't realize it was Japanese owned. 2290 01:22:44,333 --> 01:22:45,458 That is crazy. 2291 01:22:46,541 --> 01:22:48,500 Well, it's Japanese owned now, but it 2292 01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:50,291 used to be home to American. 2293 01:22:51,750 --> 01:22:52,250 American. 2294 01:22:52,791 --> 01:22:53,208 American. 2295 01:22:53,833 --> 01:22:55,875 There's another example of Japanese like 2296 01:22:55,875 --> 01:22:57,375 American jobs going to Japan. 2297 01:22:57,708 --> 01:23:00,791 But I digress. 2298 01:23:01,083 --> 01:23:05,041 But four Chan is not the website. 2299 01:23:05,500 --> 01:23:09,166 I mean, four Chan has a very like has no 2300 01:23:09,166 --> 01:23:10,666 notoriety or surrounding it. 2301 01:23:10,666 --> 01:23:14,083 Given how much of given how much of the 2302 01:23:14,083 --> 01:23:15,416 internet comes from four Chan, 2303 01:23:15,875 --> 01:23:17,541 like your modern day Twitter users. 2304 01:23:18,500 --> 01:23:22,500 But for what's interesting is that it was 2305 01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:24,125 not only was it hacked and taken down, 2306 01:23:24,541 --> 01:23:26,333 but personal information was leaked, 2307 01:23:26,625 --> 01:23:27,000 especially of the 2308 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,625 Janis janitors for short. 2309 01:23:30,416 --> 01:23:31,375 Those are the moderators. 2310 01:23:32,125 --> 01:23:34,708 Some people were genuinely surprised to 2311 01:23:34,708 --> 01:23:36,458 find out that four Chan has moderators. 2312 01:23:36,458 --> 01:23:37,458 Of course, they have moderators. 2313 01:23:37,666 --> 01:23:39,041 There are a website in the clear net. 2314 01:23:40,250 --> 01:23:40,458 Yeah. 2315 01:23:41,958 --> 01:23:42,416 And why? 2316 01:23:42,416 --> 01:23:43,791 But what I found surprising was that many 2317 01:23:43,791 --> 01:23:45,791 of them used dot edu emails 2318 01:23:45,791 --> 01:23:47,625 to register for four Chan, 2319 01:23:48,541 --> 01:23:49,625 which is like the dumbest 2320 01:23:49,625 --> 01:23:50,541 thing you could possibly do. 2321 01:23:50,541 --> 01:23:55,166 But there is also a bunch of dot gov 2322 01:23:55,166 --> 01:23:56,791 email addresses as well. 2323 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:57,541 Did you hear about that? 2324 01:23:58,041 --> 01:23:59,208 I did hear about it. 2325 01:23:59,208 --> 01:24:00,416 I didn't know if that was real or not. 2326 01:24:00,416 --> 01:24:01,708 I heard I heard some people say that was 2327 01:24:01,708 --> 01:24:03,458 fake, but oh, really? 2328 01:24:03,458 --> 01:24:04,041 I mean, I don't know. 2329 01:24:04,041 --> 01:24:04,625 It might have been. 2330 01:24:04,625 --> 01:24:06,625 I just heard it on it 2331 01:24:06,625 --> 01:24:07,583 was low level learning. 2332 01:24:08,833 --> 01:24:09,666 This guy here. 2333 01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:12,375 This is who I follow for 2334 01:24:12,375 --> 01:24:13,750 like hacking news and stuff. 2335 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:14,791 He's pretty good. 2336 01:24:14,791 --> 01:24:17,166 I like mental out for hacking news. 2337 01:24:18,083 --> 01:24:18,625 But yeah. 2338 01:24:19,375 --> 01:24:20,208 But yeah, four Chan 2339 01:24:20,208 --> 01:24:21,708 was taken down, hacked. 2340 01:24:22,541 --> 01:24:23,625 Personal information was leaked. 2341 01:24:24,500 --> 01:24:26,083 Some of them were I don't know if they 2342 01:24:26,083 --> 01:24:27,583 were professors at some 2343 01:24:27,583 --> 01:24:29,583 universities or perhaps 2344 01:24:29,583 --> 01:24:30,500 some students. 2345 01:24:32,708 --> 01:24:33,250 Four Chan's not the 2346 01:24:33,250 --> 01:24:34,208 website it used to be. 2347 01:24:34,208 --> 01:24:34,875 Let's just say. 2348 01:24:37,583 --> 01:24:39,500 Four Chan was never a good website. 2349 01:24:40,125 --> 01:24:42,416 And I can tell you how I know this 2350 01:24:42,416 --> 01:24:43,916 because when I was 2351 01:24:43,916 --> 01:24:46,125 probably 18 or 19 years old, 2352 01:24:47,041 --> 01:24:51,166 I for like a week, I was like on four 2353 01:24:51,166 --> 01:24:52,458 Chan and I was like, oh, my God, 2354 01:24:52,458 --> 01:24:53,791 this is some of the funniest shit I've 2355 01:24:53,791 --> 01:24:55,125 ever seen in my whole life. 2356 01:24:55,750 --> 01:24:58,375 And then I discovered Reddit and I was 2357 01:24:58,375 --> 01:24:59,208 like, oh, my God, 2358 01:24:59,208 --> 01:25:00,791 this is 4chan for adults. 2359 01:25:04,416 --> 01:25:05,083 Kind of. 2360 01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:05,791 Yeah. 2361 01:25:06,458 --> 01:25:09,375 And yeah, honestly, though, four Chan's 2362 01:25:09,375 --> 01:25:10,708 been defanged for a long 2363 01:25:10,708 --> 01:25:13,750 time or the claw defanged. 2364 01:25:15,083 --> 01:25:15,833 Decapitated. 2365 01:25:16,583 --> 01:25:19,166 But the point is that, I mean, honestly, 2366 01:25:19,875 --> 01:25:21,583

01:32:15,958 --> 01:32:17,541 anything, period on this, 2574 01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,708 because these guys don't care what what 2575 01:32:21,708 --> 01:32:23,916 has what would the only way to save it 2576 01:32:23,916 --> 01:32:24,875 would be on a governmental 2577 01:32:24,875 --> 01:32:26,541 level, which we're fucked on. 2578 01:32:26,791 --> 01:32:30,416 So I'm not very hopeful, but I definitely 2579 01:32:30,416 --> 01:32:32,291 think this needs to be like promoted more 2580 01:32:32,333 --> 01:32:36,208 and more to maybe then we can, because I 2581 01:32:36,208 --> 01:32:38,041 think they're very important service. 2582 01:32:39,916 --> 01:32:42,666 And it just sucks that it's come to this. 2583 01:32:43,708 --> 01:32:43,916 Yeah. 2584 01:32:43,958 --> 01:32:44,166 Yeah. 2585 01:32:44,250 --> 01:32:46,083 I mean, I mean, I think signing petition 2586 01:32:46,083 --> 01:32:47,333 is better than doing 2587 01:32:47,333 --> 01:32:48,958 nothing in this day and age, 2588 01:32:49,750 --> 01:32:51,458 because I mean, we need to agree. 2589 01:32:51,791 --> 01:32:52,500 We do need to show 2590 01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:53,375 support for the archive. 2591 01:32:53,750 --> 01:32:54,916 So if the Internet. 2592 01:32:55,208 --> 01:32:58,541 So if the news, if the 2593 01:32:58,541 --> 01:32:59,875 record label industry wins, 2594 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,166 then I think this spells the death of the 2595 01:33:03,166 --> 01:33:04,750 Internet Archive as a whole, 2596 01:33:05,416 --> 01:33:08,333 not even just in our archive, but the way 2597 01:33:08,333 -->

Yeah. 2665 01:35:30,500 --> 01:35:31,416 Which is crazy. 2666 01:35:31,750 --> 01:35:34,750 And so I think the best way to actually 2667 01:35:34,750 --> 01:35:36,458 combat this is a decentralized way. 2668 01:35:37,583 --> 01:35:41,250 I actually this is Torrance 2669 01:35:41,250 --> 01:35:42,125 or whatever you want to do. 2670 01:35:42,125 --> 01:35:44,375 Like I don't know if that's quite the 2671 01:35:44,375 --> 01:35:45,375 right technology, but like 2672 01:35:45,625 --> 01:35:48,833 decentralized. I think if they move to a 2673 01:35:48,833 --> 01:35:50,125 technology that's more decentralized, 2674 01:35:50,875 --> 01:35:53,625 where multiple places are hosting it, I 2675 01:35:53,625 --> 01:35:55,541 think it will help save it. 2676 01:35:55,541 --> 01:35:56,958 I think that's maybe another way we could 2677 01:35:56,958 --> 01:35:59,583 save it is by changing the way that we 2678 01:35:59,583 --> 01:36:02,041 consume it slash host it. 2679 01:36:04,125 --> 01:36:05,750 Honestly, man, I would hate for the 2680 01:36:05,750 --> 01:36:07,416 Internet archive to go under. 2681 01:36:08,791 --> 01:36:10,208 Honestly, I can see the Internet. 2682 01:36:10,208 --> 01:36:12,250 I can see the Internet archive going 2683 01:36:12,250 --> 01:36:13,416 exclusively on the dark net. 2684 01:36:13,458 --> 01:36:15,791 If this were to come to pass, maybe. 2685 01:36:17,291 --> 01:36:18,666 Even if they I mean. 2686 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,875 I think that there's such like an 2687 01:36:21,875 --> 01:36:23,250 important institution that 2688 01:36:23,250 --> 01:36:25,625 like they need to move defensively 2689 01:36:26,625 --> 01:36:29,166 to like spin off the way back machine or 2690 01:36:29,166 --> 01:36:30,791 something into its own 2691 01:36:30,791 --> 01:36:32,291 nonprofit or something. 2692 01:36:33,916 --> 01:36:35,541 Because they the Internet archive is just 2693 01:36:35,541 --> 01:36:37,500 being attacked so egregiously 2694 01:36:38,166 --> 01:36:40,916 that maybe the Internet archive should 2695 01:36:40,916 --> 01:36:42,250 just be a sacrificial lamb. 2696 01:36:44,083 --> 01:36:46,916 Like I hate to say that, but like the way 2697 01:36:46,916 --> 01:36:48,291 back machine is so critical. 2698 01:36:49,500 --> 01:36:50,666 I don't know. 2699 01:36:53,875 --> 01:36:56,458 I yeah, I think we have 2700 01:36:56,458 --> 01:36:57,666 technologies to save it. 2701 01:36:57,666 --> 01:37:00,000 It's just and it will be up to the. 2702 01:37:01,333 --> 01:37:04,416 The people that hosted and take care of 2703 01:37:04,416 --> 01:37:05,958 it to decide on which way they go, 2704 01:37:05,958 --> 01:37:07,875 but I don't think it's going to be what 2705 01:37:07,875 --> 01:37:08,958 like this is going to be. 2706 01:37:09,500 --> 01:37:12,458 Detrimental and. 2707 01:37:13,708 --> 01:37:15,833 I I I just don't I don't I think they're 2708 01:37:15,833 --> 01:37:17,458 going to lose the lawsuit, but we'll see. 2709 01:37:18,375 --> 01:37:19,541 I hope so. 2710 01:37:19,541 --> 01:37:20,125 Yeah, I mean. 2711 01:37:21,583 --> 01:37:22,875 You hope they lose it. 2712 01:37:23,541 --> 01:37:25,250 No, I mean not in the archive. 2713 01:37:25,250 --> 01:37:27,375 I hope sorry I came out wrong. 2714 01:37:28,291 --> 01:37:31,291 I hope I hope they win the lawsuit and 2715 01:37:31,291 --> 01:37:33,750 that the record labels lose, but I mean. 2716 01:37:34,166 --> 01:37:35,333 Oh, I do too. 2717 01:37:35,875 --> 01:37:36,125 It's just. 2718 01:37:36,250 --> 01:37:36,958 It's just. 2719 01:37:38,041 --> 01:37:38,916 It's the record label. 2720 01:37:38,916 --> 01:37:40,541 They have so much money backing them. 2721 01:37:40,791 --> 01:37:42,583 The the the record labels are just 2722 01:37:42,583 --> 01:37:44,291 notorious for this type of shit and they. 2723 01:37:46,625 --> 01:37:48,875 It could be just maybe they they take 2724 01:37:48,875 --> 01:37:50,375 down whatever they 2725 01:37:50,375 --> 01:37:51,750 want them to take down, 2726 01:37:51,750 --> 01:37:53,708 which are they like are there. 2727 01:37:55,625 --> 01:37:58,625 Records were like music being hosted. 2728 01:37:59,958 --> 01:38:02,541 So they're targeting the Internet 2729 01:38:02,541 --> 01:38:04,333 archives efforts to preserve and provide 2730 01:38:04,333 --> 01:38:05,291 access to historical 2731 01:38:05,583 --> 01:38:09,791 78 RPM records and it's about 2732 01:38:09,791 --> 01:38:13,958 early jazz gospel blues

wonder if they could 2736 01:38:23,500 --> 01:38:24,791 spin that off and try to 2737 01:38:24,791 --> 01:38:25,958 save it on a different. 2738 01:38:27,833 --> 01:38:30,000 Um like not like not. 2739 01:38:30,375 --> 01:38:31,083 Or anything else. 2740 01:38:32,041 --> 01:38:33,875 Yeah, I mean if it's the same people then 2741 01:38:33,875 --> 01:38:34,708 I think they're still going to be. 2742 01:38:35,875 --> 01:38:37,083 Targets regardless. 2743 01:38:37,833 --> 01:38:40,541 I know, but it could help not take down 2744 01:38:40,541 --> 01:38:42,083 the whole thing and maybe 2745 01:38:42,083 --> 01:38:43,208 decentralized it some more. 2746 01:38:43,208 --> 01:38:44,875 Anyways to into projects, but. 2747 01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,291 So how old are these that's the thing 2748 01:38:48,291 --> 01:38:50,958 like there there are limitations on 2749 01:38:50,958 --> 01:38:52,625 copyright like yeah. 2750 01:38:53,666 --> 01:38:56,291 I mean if they were if if the stuff that 2751 01:38:56,291 --> 01:38:57,625 they're archiving was like 2752 01:38:57,625 --> 01:39:00,250 new releases back then then 2753 01:39:00,333 --> 01:39:03,000 anything on 78 should have fallen out of 2754 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:04,958 copyright according to like 2755 01:39:04,958 --> 01:39:06,708 traditional copyright law. 2756 01:39:07,291 --> 01:39:08,708 Not like the modern bullshit.

they've changed 2782 01:40:09,666 --> 01:40:11,291 the landscapes of entire like 2783 01:40:11,291 --> 01:40:14,166 platforms to like YouTube used to be like 2784 01:40:14,166 --> 01:40:15,458 this wasteland of you 2785 01:40:15,458 --> 01:40:16,125 could listen to whatever you 2786 01:40:16,166 --> 01:40:18,458 want and do anything like. 2787 01:40:19,791 --> 01:40:22,416 But now if you like

01:40:34,041 --> 01:40:36,500 Yeah Google's Google systems have gotten 2795 01:40:36,500 --> 01:40:37,541 a lot better and I 2796 01:40:37,541 --> 01:40:38,958 detect the stuff because. 2797 01:40:40,333 --> 01:40:43,041 Of like the legal love because of all the 2798 01:40:43,041 --> 01:40:44,375 stuff from the music industry. 2799 01:40:44,416 --> 01:40:46,000 Yeah. 2800 01:40:46,250 --> 01:40:47,541 And twitch too actually. 2801 01:40:49,166 --> 01:40:50,500 Because people used to stream whatever 2802 01:40:50,500 --> 01:40:51,625 music they wanted and 2803 01:40:51,625 --> 01:40:52,958 listen to it at the same time 2804 01:40:52,958 --> 01:40:55,416 talking but but then the record label 2805 01:40:55,416 --> 01:40:58,958 industry hit and then yeah a lot of those 2806 01:40:58,958 --> 01:41:00,333 bonds are in danger. 2807 01:41:01,541 --> 01:41:04,000 But on the flip side I think the the 2808 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:05,833 artists need to get paid 2809 01:41:05,833 --> 01:41:07,500 like I think it's really. 2810 01:41:07,833 --> 01:41:10,375 The artists need to get paid but guess 2811 01:41:10,375 --> 01:41:11,791 who isn't paying them yeah 2812 01:41:11,791 --> 01:41:13,166 exactly that's what I'm saying 2813 01:41:13,458 --> 01:41:16,000 at the end of the day I'm for all that 2814 01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,875 and I'm for actually some 2815 01:41:18,875 -->

01:41:27,208 but yeah it's it's really 2819 01:41:27,208 --> 01:41:28,875 they're they're getting so like artists 2820 01:41:28,875 --> 01:41:29,666 at the end of the day are 2821 01:41:29,666 --> 01:41:30,583 the ones getting screwed the 2822 01:41:30,583 --> 01:41:31,625 most out of all this. 2823 01:41:31,625 --> 01:41:33,750 Well yeah that's why I mean it's it's 2824 01:41:33,750 --> 01:41:34,583 basically common also at 2825 01:41:34,583 --> 01:41:36,083 this point a lot of artists have 2826 01:41:36,083 --> 01:41:37,958 to go out and perform concerts and all 2827 01:41:37,958

history and that's what they're 2869 01:43:17,875 --> 01:43:22,250 that's what they're doing nine they have 2870 01:43:22,250 --> 01:43:24,666 over 99 petabytes of data. 2871 01:43:26,625 -->

01:43:37,291 one petabyte of storage let alone 99 of 2875 01:43:37,291 --> 01:43:39,000 those like holy shit. 2876 01:43:40,166 --> 01:43:41,625 That's crazy you really couldn't archive 2877 01:43:41,625 --> 01:43:42,375 the internet you'd have to like split it amongst 2878 01:43:42,416 --> 01:43:49,000 multiple different like people if like 2879 01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,916 the data servers won't handle them I 2880 01:43:50,916 --> 01:43:52,416 don't know it's crazy. 2881 01:43:53,666 --> 01:43:56,791 Yeah I mean literally attacking attacking 2882 01:43:56,791 --> 01:43:58,583 the internet archive to me 2883 01:43:58,583 --> 01:44:00,083 is almost as bad as burning 2884 01:44:00,083 --> 01:44:04,541 books like in some ways it's it's worse 2885 01:44:04,541 --> 01:44:08,708 because I think you'd books are are 2886 01:44:08,708 --> 01:44:09,250 physical you're going 2887 01:44:09,291 --> 01:44:11,375 to find some of those physical books 2888 01:44:11,375 --> 01:44:13,541 eventually but digital 2889 01:44:13,541 --> 01:44:16,500 archive like I guess maybe some of 2890 01:44:16,500 --> 01:44:19,416 it split off but it's so we kind of have 2891 01:44:19,416 --> 01:44:21,041 of some of these 2892 01:44:21,041 --> 01:44:23,125 services that's all there is. 2893 01:44:23,375 --> 01:44:25,375 Yeah this is it's a preservation of 2894 01:44:25,375 --> 01:44:29,875 culture and you know attacking them is 2895 01:44:29,875 --> 01:44:31,166 the erasure of culture 2896 01:44:31,791 --> 01:44:33,791 I mean just think of like just think of 2897 01:44:33,791 --> 01:44:34,916 the video game industry 2898 01:44:34,916 --> 01:44:38,541 and how like critically awful 2899 01:44:38,875 --> 01:44:40,583 the video game industry is when it comes 2900 01:44:40,583 -->

01:47:33,083 --> 01:47:34,916 but that just doesn't that 2972 01:47:34,916 --> 01:47:36,625 just doesn't add up to me like 2973 01:47:36,625 --> 01:47:38,541 if you can't cover your living expenses 2974 01:47:38,541 --> 01:47:41,375 and you don't regret it like what is 2975 01:47:41,375 --> 01:47:42,458 wrong with you it's a 2976 01:47:42,458 --> 01:47:44,916 it's it comes down to I think a mental um 2977 01:47:44,916 --> 01:47:46,333 mental illness or like an 2978 01:47:46,333 --> 01:47:48,958 issue on like uh that needs to 2979 01:47:48,958 --> 01:47:53,708 be resolved but like 76 percent of these 2980 01:47:53,708 --> 01:47:54,750 people have some kind of 2981 01:47:54,750 --> 01:47:58,375 mental issue no 76 is no so 2982 01:47:58,375 --> 01:48:00,625 that means they don't yeah that means 2983 01:48:00,625 --> 01:48:02,708 they don't regret it so I mean 2984 01:48:02,708 --> 01:48:04,541 part of it is also that maybe 2985 01:48:04,625 --> 01:48:06,083 those aren't the some of those people 2986 01:48:06,083 --> 01:48:06,791 aren't the people that 2987 01:48:06,791 --> 01:48:08,791 spent like a thousand dollars on 2988 01:48:08,791 --> 01:48:11,208 rolling my favorite life oh I see yeah 2989 01:48:11,208 --> 01:48:12,625 like I so so like I spent 2990 01:48:12,625 --> 01:48:14,208 like 20 on the character they 2991 01:48:14,208 --> 01:48:16,625 don't regret it I mean 20 is still a 2992 01:48:16,625 --> 01:48:19,375 little bit too much for my opinion oh 2993 01:48:19,375 --> 01:48:20,375 this is like including 2994 01:48:20,375 --> 01:48:22,625 all the thousand okay yeah yeah yeah I 2995 01:48:22,625 --> 01:48:25,583 was misunderstanding yes that makes sense 2996 01:48:26,625 --> 01:48:28,166 spending money on in-game purchases 20 2997 01:48:28,166 --> 01:48:29,416 but that's still like yeah 2998 01:48:29,416 --> 01:48:31,500 okay that I wanted to see the 2999 01:48:31,541 --> 01:48:33,041 correlation on the people that actually 3000 01:48:33,041 --> 01:48:35,250 are spent like their 3001 01:48:35,250 --> 01:48:36,791 living expenses are are 3002 01:48:37,208 --> 01:48:39,000 shot now I want to see what the 3003 01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,750 percentage there don't worry I mean 3004 01:48:40,750 --> 01:48:43,583 there's more like the the 18 3005 01:48:43,583 --> 01:48:46,750 so it's almost 19 percent of people spent 3006 01:48:46,750 --> 01:48:48,708 more than they should have 3007 01:48:48,708 --> 01:48:51,916 yes and over 20 so a greater 3008 01:48:51,916 --> 01:48:54,250 percentage of the people who spent any 3009 01:48:54,250 --> 01:48:56,541 money are regretted yeah 3010 01:48:56,541 --> 01:48:57,916 like I probably like I probably 3011 01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,916 wouldn't like I wouldn't I probably 3012 01:48:59,916 --> 01:49:01,333 regret spending a hundred 3013 01:49:01,333 --> 01:49:02,250 dollars on the character 3014 01:49:03,041 --> 01:49:04,750 but at least I'm not broke that's 3015 01:49:04,750 --> 01:49:06,375 probably the sentiment that's going on 3016 01:49:06,375 --> 01:49:08,208 there yeah I'll also 3017 01:49:08,208 --> 01:49:10,875 mention a thousand for sample size is not 3018 01:49:10,875 --> 01:49:12,750 very good no yeah it's not 3019 01:49:12,750 --> 01:49:13,916 it's not a very big sample 3020 01:49:13,916 --> 01:49:15,875 in these be much much people it should be 3021 01:49:15,875 --> 01:49:18,791 much bigger but yeah 3022 01:49:18,791 --> 01:49:22,416 continue so here is the survey 3023 01:49:22,625 --> 01:49:26,791 here's some more stuff here so

20.8 percent so it 3033 01:50:00,166 --> 01:50:01,333 sounds like the the 3034 01:50:01,333 --> 01:50:04,208 gacha market is actually like 3035 01:50:04,333 --> 01:50:06,708 influencing people in a
