Tech Over Tea - #78 Everyone In The World Is A Little Bit Dumb | Nephitejnf

Episode Date: August 25, 2021

It's been a while since I last talked to Nephite and the conclusion we reached today is that everyone in the world might be a little bit dumb but even so some people out there make some really amazing things. ==========Guest Links========== Website: http://nephitejnf.xyz Peertube: https://videos.realnephestate.xyz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzLjjRlkOosxt0eQamPyhlA BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/MwKTC7A9cpNg/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@nephitejnf:6 Pleroma: https://social.realnephestate.xyz Twitter: https://twitter.com/nephitejnf Twitch: https://twitch.tv/nephitejnf Dlive: https://dlive.tv/nephitejnf Discord: https://discord.gg/XAwPxFW ==========Support The Channel========== ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson ► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo ► Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF ► Other Methods: https://cointr.ee/brodierobertson =========Video Platforms========== 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBq5p-xOla8xhnrbhu8AIAg =========Audio Release========= 🎵 RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/149fd51c/podcast/rss 🎵 Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tech-over-tea/id1501727953 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3IfFpfzlLo7OPsEnl4gbdM 🎵 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xNDlmZDUxYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== 🎵 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/tech-over-tea ==========Social Media========== 🎤 Discord:https://discord.gg/PkMRVn9 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TechOverTeaShow 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/techovertea/ 🌐 Mastodon:https://mastodon.social/web/accounts/1093345 ==========Credits========== 🎨 Channel Art: All my art has was created by Supercozman https://twitter.com/Supercozman https://www.instagram.com/supercozman_draws/ DISCLOSURE: Wherever possible I use referral links, which means if you click one of the links in this video or description and make a purchase we may receive a small commission or other compensation.

Good morning, good day, good evening. I'm, as always, your host, Brodie Robertson, and today, we are back for episode 780- I already screwed it up. We're not restarting it! We're back for episode 780, TechMatea hosts something. Welcome, Nephite, you're back on the show. I screwed all that up, we're just gonna run with it. That's okay, I screw stuff up all the time. Oh shit, I also just realized I didn't actually set up my um my browser so uh while while i'm doing that tell people who you are and i'll fix that um well i i do stuff on the internet for those that weren't around for the last one so i've got a YouTube channel I stream on Twitch and a bunch of other places but I mean I've got

my own Pluralman and a couple other things that I'm working on too so all over the internet I kind of spread my stuff probably a little too thin yeah I know that feeling when did we last do an episode

it had to have been a long time ago. It was like in February, I believe it was January. It was really this year. Yeah. Went back and double checked. I have lost track of time completely. Let's see.

Episode 47. So yeah, it would have been, wow. Okay. It would have been this year oh yeah no because i wow that is a horrible i'm looking at the thumbnail and that is a horrible thumbnail why did i make that that was during the uh the whole parlor situation as well. Back when they were kicked off of AWS.

Oh, yeah, that one. Yeah, back. Oh, yeah, to think of other parlor situations. I don't know why they're in deep water. But I was talking beforehand about a topic that I think you would like, and I think we should just start there. Ignore the fact that I'm going to send

you a link to a Reddit account. The content on the Reddit account is what's important. Here we go. So, oh, my thing broke. Property. There we go Now we're good

So this guy Has made Um Pokemon card Keycaps For a Mechanical keyboard And like

He's made like Little versions of Like first Uh Base gen cards Or first gen cards Wow They look It's pretty cool.

They look really, really cool. If you scroll down a bit, he's got a... He should have a bit where he... Okay, no. He uses his account for other stuff as well. On the Pokemon card keycap subreddit, he's got a picture of the cards

just by themselves. And, man, they look really cool that nice foil sparkle too also a fun thing is this guy is actually from Australia which I did not expect when I

saw this but he's a dude from Queensland so if you want to get some they are 30 per key cap they're expensive key caps but they are handmade sense yeah yeah it does make sense the only question is is would it well it actually might fit down the sides of the ergo docks. Do you run an ergo dock? Easy. I picked it up last year in March, and I think I finally got it in

April. I hope you don't mean April this year you got it. Oh, last year. It took like a month or so to ship. You just had to make sure that's that's not even that long if okay here i need to talk about something so americans always talk about like oh overnight amazon shipping anything longer than like a week is a long time a week is fast here

if you get stuff in a week like that's impressive yeah well most of the stuff like for me does take about a week that i order like what so yeah so like headphones and stuff like that i'll order stuff off of amazon literally and it'll take a week plus i ordered stickers off of amazon and that took over a month because it was shipping from Greece. Right, right. Then I've still got a USB-C to USB-C cable that I'm waiting on that is from Amazon as well. And then everybody that's ever ordered a Pine phone or something from Pine64 knows it takes forever.

You did hear about how all of the the was it pine phones they got sent to new zealand i did talk about that that kind of sucks it's like pine 64 is apologizing profusely but it's like it's not your fault if you wrote the shipping address correctly on it then it's all on dhl and that's on them yeah i don't know how dhl managed that one back i mean it's possible it got missorted because sometimes you miss sort things when you're a shipping company right but you miss you miss sort like here's the grease package. Here's this other package. Oh, let's just send them to New Zealand Maybe someone just doesn't like mine It's in the opposite direction too because you've got New Zealand down to the

Southeast and then Europe over to the West. Mm-hmm. I don't know how they met I don't know how they manage. Honestly, DHL's been pretty good for any of the shipping I've done. I usually go with DHL. Even like, even with this mistake, honestly they're still probably one of the best shipping companies. Yeah. Well, what was it?

Yeah, they do use DHL. Because I've got a Pinetime 2. Do you just buy everything? Actually, that works out because I do have a P Time 2 Do you just buy everything Actually that works out because I do have a Pine topic on this list Um no I don't buy Everything Pine does but yeah

Shipped through DHL the problem is Their tracking doesn't always update Right okay Like um package tracking Even Hmm like with domestic Packages it's relatively okay here. But I've certainly noticed a lot of issues with other stuff. Like, the main government shipping thing is Auspost here.

And I don't know how they take so long to get stuff to me. Like, they will take a week to get me stuff from, like, Melbourne. And this isn't, like, while Rona's going on. It's just, like, normally. Like, how does it take a week to get from Melbourne? Mm-hmm. Well, my favorite thing is when, like, somewhere along the way, they forget to, like, keep the tracking going.

Mm. And then all of a sudden, your, like, thing is in the mail. And then it's, like... I don't remember seeing the updates in between where it said it was out for delivery. Yeah. Yeah. I have had that as well where actually this might've been,

this might've been DHL in this case. Um, I know it was something I bought from Amazon. Um, I don't remember, I don't remember the exact shipping company, but I got it. Then the next day I got a,

a message being like, Hey, your package will arrive today will it now are you sure about that it's like that's fine but I think you're full of shit I like it when everything arrives early it's like well we estimate

it'll be like 14th and then it all arrives on the 13th the day before I like the estimation also had i've had some things that said like oh it's ready for pickup so i go to the post office like i ordered a futon topper from japan and um it's like oh ready for pickup so i go to pick it up and it's like they were like literally loading it up to like deliver it that day they're like what is it yeah i i've had the exact same thing like uh i don't know how it works for you guys but when something like when you like miss the package they'll leave like a

little slip in your door here like hey show up at the post office after this time and you can collect the package um oh yeah so So I went there to get something, and they're like, uh, just come back tomorrow. Like, why did you just... Just say that on the slip. I don't care if it's, you know, if it makes me wait longer for something.

That's fine. But don't make me come back a second time. Like, don't be annoying like that. Usually, by the time we get our mail hmm. It's about the time that the post office is closed right either a They put it in The post office box that we have that's a little bit closer Right or B. We have to wait until the next day to go to it so that we can get it earlier before they close. Mmm.

Luckily tracking tells us that if they do that. Well hopefully, as long as the tracking gets updated. Now I noticed those earphones you have. Uh, I'm not using them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I mean, I've also got the older ones, too.

So, like, the Pro Xs are ones that I just got a week or so ago. Oh, actually, on the 13th. Came in the mail. And then I've had the Zsn pros for a while the only thing that bothers me is the fact that i think the oh impedance is so low that you can hear like the background noise because you get that fuzz in the background yeah i did notice that's the one thing i don't like about them i mean the sr850s aren't like that in any way but then again they're more balanced too I can hear like all the high things and like all the Sabaton

songs along with the low things the only reason I'm not using these right now is I find, so right now I've got a pair of I don't know, Sennheiser CX 2.0's or something, I don't know, you can buy them anymore. Sennheiser doesn't make these anymore. That's how long I've had these for.

But the cable is slightly longer on these, and I find that when I wear these ones, it's just a tad too short for how far my computer is away. So if I lean this way, it might slightly pull, especially if it gets caught in the arm of my computer chair. I find that's a problem too. When I want to kick back when I'm streaming, it's like I have this little leash that I can't get rid of,

so I've got to use something that's longer. Yeah, I can get a cable to extend it, obviously, but I just haven't gone and done so yet. I probably should, because when I put these on, I really like them. I've talked about them before, but they are honestly really good earphones. I just feel bad I didn't get the microphone

one. I ordered the KB Ears as well and I forgot the mic on it. That was the really nice mic too. I intentionally ordered it without the mic on it i'm like that was the really nice mic too i intentionally ordered it without the mic for like obvious reasons um and i i sure it might be useful on like my phone but i i've sort

of come to accept bluetooth headphones on my phone i don't like it but i've come to accept Bluetooth headphones on my phone. I don't like it, but I've come to accept it. Yeah. Well, sometimes I use my phone for recording things, and so having a really nice mic is nice to have. Well, nice compared to other, like, earbud headphones. Earbud microphone. I'm not hauling this outside to walk around and talk. Yeah, well, sure.

It's gonna be better than what you get on, like, some, like, crappy earbuds that just came in the box with your $10, $20 random phone you bought from China. And, I mean, I probably sound about like I'm an Xbox

Live with wireless earbuds anyway. I, honestly, I do miss like I miss the days of like the PS3 and 360 I sadly didn't have an Xbox 360 I was uh I played on PS3 but man that everyone just having just shitty microphones. What a fun time that was. Everybody was on the same even field and they all enjoyed it and they made fun of each other for it too. Sure, there might be that one rich kid that had a pair of Astro A50s,

but apart from him, everyone else sounded like shit. What a fun time that was um actually you brought up um pine before so did you hear about the uh the pine note oh yeah I saw

that I'm like plasma on an e-ink display yeah really I didn't look into I just saw the Yeah, I saw that. I'm like plasma on an e-ink display. Yeah. Really? I didn't look into... I just saw the post. I didn't actually look at the specs of it or anything. So it's a 10.1 inch e-ink tablet.

Okay. So I like how they edited the post and then just left in the mistake. They just crossed it out. So 10.1 inch E-Ink panel. E-Ink is actually a really interesting technology. Like, I find... I don't know about you.

I find reading on, like, a regular screen really, really difficult. Like, if I... For example, trying to read through, like, a PDF or something. I always find myself getting a lot of eye strain just doing so. I don't know about yourself, but that, that's how I feel about it. I've got blue light filter coating on my glasses now, so. Right, that, that would definitely help out. Uh, a resolution of 1404x1872.

Sure. Okay. It's e-ink. It is e-ink. Yes, it is. Both regular touch and EMR pen input. Okay. The...

Wait, I wonder if anything's soldered inside of this. I can't tell from the pictures here. It looks like a lot of stuff is going to be attached with, um... With removable cables though. That is nice. That uh... Hopefully will make it easier to repair if you can get parts for it. Presumably you'll be able to. It do sell the parts for the pine foam that you can pick up pretty easily

except for like the main board. Right, right. Why did they sell the main board? Okay, sure. I would have thought that would be one thing you would sell. They do sell the main board separately. They have all the other parts as well that you can get separately.

They've got a discount for like an upgrade for people with like older boards to get a new main board right okay okay that makes sense has a quad core RK 3566 A55 SSC I don't know what the hell that is so I'm gonna just

you know what it's probably fine it's a thing it is a thing that has four cores four gigs of ld uh lp ddr4 ram sure 128 gigs of storage remember when 128 gigs is just like an unheard amount of flash storage now it just comes on just some like Random E-ink tablet I think my first Oh, what's up Considering this is like

Probably primarily for e-reader E-reading and stuff like that It's a lot of space Yeah, no, that's a good point Uh Jeez, yeah, that's actually A ton then Uh

Sure, you can take as many of um your amazon ebooks that you have definitely not that not ripped the drm off of uh and just put them on this tablet i'm so i've got a whole bunch of ebooks. You see my books folder. It's mostly like pub PDFs and stuff. That's like 16 gigs. That includes all of my RPG books that I've like picked up over the last few years from like Warhammer and everything, along with PDFs that I've downloaded from various honest good places. Absolutely, yes. We only condone legal acquisition of books on this podcast.

That's 16 gigs, just. So 128 for all that is like plenty of space well they're saying it's not just like a an e-reader but considering that has an e-ink display i don't know what anyone would ever really use it for besides an e-reader and you're not watching youtube on it well you could that's the thing but I don't know why you would want to. What's the refresh rate on the screen again? They say it's not 60 hertz. I don't know what the refresh rate would be.

Because I know most e-ink displays have to, like, in essence, clear the screen and then print it back out. I don't know. Can you even get a 60Hz e-ink? I don't know, I- e-ink's one of those things that just show up every so often. I love the fact your camera's freezing every few seconds, there's just like hilarious faces stuck there. E-ink, display, refresh, right. Let's see. E Ink display refresh rate. Let's see. Apparently, you can find them at 67 hertz. Why 67?

I don't know. But you can get them that high. So E Ink has improved a lot since I was first looking at it. Okay. I know Best Buy uses E Ink displays for their price tags in a lot of places too okay that's that's as fancy yeah then amazon has their oasis e-reader that's an e-ink display that's like full color as well yeah that's really cool um i just don't want to i don't want to buy like a amazon e-reader though oh that if you buy an older kindle maybe but yeah yeah uh 290 dollars so 400 australian you know what okay that's not a bad price to be honest

amazon stop making cheap stuff making me want to buy your stuff 400 Australian. You know what? Okay, that's not a bad price, to be honest. Amazon, stop making cheap stuff making me want to buy your stuff. I think there are even cheaper ones that are off the end, though, as well. Yeah, yeah, you can obviously get, like, way cheaper e-readers, but for, like, an e-ink color display,

I don't know... I haven't looked into it that much. If someone knows of something that's better, let me know. But that honestly does seem like a really good deal. Plus, it came out in 2017. So I imagine you can probably get some secondhand ones fairly easily. Yeah, maybe. They do sell the ad-supported ones for cheaper.

But that's because when you lock it, ads everywhere. That's their secret. You can pay a little extra fee to get it so it doesn't have the ads at all on it. Speaking of Amazon, did you hear about this right here? So you know how you can get, like, the Kindles with the built-in 2G and 3G?

Okay, yeah. Yeah, so they're shutting down that on, like, the older devices. There's two reasons. I feel like that's a mistake, but... Right, but these are like the- I totally get it's a mistake, but it is also like the considerably older devices. But with something like an e-reader, they do last a long-ass time. So I can imagine people still actually having, like, a fourth-gen Paperwhite.

Well, Kindles were kind of the first ones that like implemented the like download anywhere thing too i don't know how they made the deals with the carriers so that their customers could download their ebooks from anywhere but they did well that's the reason why like they are shutting it down because they were actually the ones paying for your connection to the network. So I imagine that my guess is the carriers are probably taking a cut of e-book sales or something like that. That seems like the most obvious answer to me. At this point,

Amazon could just pay a royalty fee for just using it. I'm sure it's more valuable... Amazon stimulus payment for your network. I'm sure for Amazon, it's more valuable Amazon stimulus payment for your network I'm sure for Amazon it's more valuable to just pay that and then have people just use their devices yeah I mean people are buying food from Amazon

now so yeah the whole Amazon situation over the past two years has been an absolute mess with like little stores that have like you know that are selling the exact same stuff as amazon getting shut down but then amazon is just like well you know we're amazon so we can sell everything ah well or you get little stores that end up

giving up and going on to amazon in order to survive yeah i've definitely seen that with a couple of the uh the bookstores that I shop from. They'll have their own website, but then we'll have an Amazon storefront as well. And I get why you do it, because there's a lot of eyes on Amazon. I just don't want to see Amazon within the next five or ten years

being basically a monopoly on stores, and that seems to be the direction we're going but if they weren't that way we wouldn't have the dong rocket the what the dong rocket i don't know what that is so um jeff bezos's um space company blue origin launched their first rocket mission where they basically sent the pod into like orbit for a little bit and then dropped it down. Everybody called it the Dong rocket because that's what it looked

like. Okay, sure. They're like, this is how you know that you're a big dick because your employees send you up in a rocket shaped like one. Right. Yeah, the only eccentric billionaire I keep a rocket shaped like one. Right. Yeah, the only eccentric billionaire I keep a tab on is Elon.

When you have too many billionaires around, you start going a little crazy. Yeah. Let me see if... Oh, you're going to find a picture of it. Yeah. Speaking of... The E-Ink readers again

I actually do want to buy one at some point it's just I I read a lot it's just justifying the initial purchase that's my problem okay yeah you find the picture?

it can be I think that's a good side profile of it you're looking for the best one you can find are you uh you know gotta keep it always the best that's fair okay i just realized every time i swap away to see the discord window your camera freezes uh i should i should just move that there we go that's better you know, this setup today is just a mess. Ah, okay. Oh, geez. It does look like a giant dick, doesn't it?

And the funniest part is the cap comes off. It's like, guys, really? Oh, that's a shape. You know what? Oh, that's, that's, that's a shape. You know what? Maybe, maybe the dick is just the most aerodynamic shape you can create. I don't know.

I'm sure there's- Probably, I could believe it. Either that or- It's into all kinds of places. Either that or some, some engineers were like, hey, can we do this? Is this physically possible? Because I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest. Yeah, well, I mean, Elon sent a Tesla into space. So, anything's possible.

Yeah, Elon... I don't want to turn this podcast into an Elon podcast. I bring it up every other week right now. But this man is crazy. I don't want to turn this podcast into an Elon podcast. I bring it up every other week right now. But this man is crazy. I've had people be like, Oh, you focus too much on Elon. You have crazy imaginations about what he's going to do.

The man literally wants to put a microchip in your brain. That's not even memeing or anything like that. He's actually openly said he wants to put microchips in your brain so we can communicate across information like that actively posted on twitter about creating genetically modified genetically engineered cat girls also you know he's uh he's he's trolling the entire crypto world while basically uh funneling as much money out of it as possible. Like, you don't need to imagine very hard to see that Elon is like a super villain genius.

Multiple companies and everything, but... And then, you know, the first three cars he released spell out sex, so... Like, he'll sometimes do these, like, crazy things, and then it's like, ha-ha, sex. It's like...

Ha. I guess when you have that much money, like, you have to find somewhere to entertain yourself. Well, I mean, making flamethrowers is one way he does it, too. Not a flamethrower. That's very important. It's a blowtorch. It's not a flamethrower, I swear. No. No, it's not a flamethrower i swear no no it's not a flamethrower because i

can legally mail this i don't think you're able to buy them in australia though um because he's shut down that one as well that product yeah yeah it was a limited time thing but when it actually um when it was a thing i don't think you were able to buy it in Australia. Because we have some questionable weapon laws anyway, like you can't carry a knife on you for self-defense and other little things like that. In my state, I don't think you can carry pepper spray either. Yeah, pepper spray is a lethal weapon. Yeah, just don't question the Australian weapon laws. They are...

Yeah. Beardos. Oh, I've got something that... I wonder if you're going to trust it. I hope you trust it. Okay. Do you like... I've opened... I've opened all kinds of things

so we'll see okay do you like end-to-end encryption it's an interesting i like it for the concept of keeping everything private okay do you like facebook no no will you trust this end to end encryption who's storing the who's storing the keys for it let's find out let's see if it says on the article whatsapp was supposed to have that and they acquired that but

at the same time it does not say so yeah facebook is going to introduce at the same time. It does not say. So yeah, Facebook is going to introduce end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls. It doesn't say text. I'm pretty sure

text is not already end-to-end encrypted. And also testing it out for Instagram DMs. So they're testing out for instagram text messages but not whatever okay sure so you can send your nudes encrypted end-to-end to your receiver i guess so but assuming that the keys are stored properly which you know facebook doesn't exactly have a good track record of this no see that that's the thing is like you'd have to basically be sending the keys directly to the

person which means that the server isn't storing them which i highly doubt is the case because it's very likely that you're going to sync across devices. I know how Matrix does the key sync. You have to do it manually. But still. I don't think this is going to be the case with Facebook. Let's see if we can find it. There's not much information on it right now. Of course there isn't.

Yeah. Hey, maybe. yeah I yeah I hey maybe look maybe Facebook is gonna like turn a new leaf and they're gonna be like you know what we're gonna effectively build signal yeah they're not someone linked a technical white paper PDF apparently from Facebook mm-. Whether it's real or not is

questionable. I don't see anyone asking about keys. I don't know why... E2E backdoored yet or no? Are you just saying... Wait. Just generally are you saying that E2E encryption

backdoored yet that's do you do know there's like different implementations right man talking i don't expect these people to be the smartest they're reading the verge that is true oh okay i see the uh i see the white paper you're I've heard you talking about. It's linked on fb.com. And it's a WB content subdirectory, which leads me to believe that they're some small blog running on WordPress. Facebook, well known for using WordPress. Facebook runs their blog on WordPress. Do they?

Yeah. Are you saying... If Facebook's doing it, I imagine it's probably using their web framework, React. Yeah. I doubt WordPress is what they're using, even though it's pretty standard among most people. Also, FB.com doesn't lead me to believe like uh you know actual facebook

url that would be like a um you know uh you know you know what a fake url looks like like you know the fact you'll see like a hey it's google but it's got like three o's or something it's like you know yeah maybe i know that paypal does own um paypay.com there's a so a lot of the big tech companies they'll buy like different iteration or different variations of like their name just to make sure that scammers can't go and buy it Just to make sure that scammers can't go and buy it? Yeah. Just, like, I know PayPal has PayPay and, like, a couple of little variations like that.

I think they also have, like, PayPal on basically every TLD as well. Just, you know, to ensure that no one else can buy it. Oh, I should probably, like, do the triple tax. What are you... I don't know what you're doing the who is information on it oh wow interesting oh well maybe there's something to this maybe it is legit i haven't read the white paper so i don't know if that'll help. Actually, I should. So, namefb.com, nameserversa.ns.facebook.com. I presume that would be the nameservers they use. Surely. And it's only registered under Registrar Safe LLC.

You know what? Let's open up this white paper, see if it has anything. Anything. Messenger secret. Okay, this is already looking sketchy. Messenger secret conversations. I'm sure that's how you would lay out a white paper. Got cool formulas and maths in it though. Yeah it does, that's true. It has like cool, oh wow, that's, you know, maybe this is, this could either be complete bullshit,

or this could be just some very very lazy engineers writing a very lazy technical paper. Either way, anybody looking at this should take it with a grain of salt. Yeah. Uh, I don't particularly trust... Wait. A participant in a seek conversation may voluntarily notify Facebook of abusive content. Facebook uses such reports to identify users who violate Facebook's terms of service.

The ability to report abuse does not represent a relaxation of the end-to-end encryption guarantees of secret conversation. Facebook will never have access to plain-text messages unless one participant in a secret conversation voluntarily reports the conversa... So what it is, unless one participant in a secret conversation voluntarily reports the conversation.

So what it is, is you report the conversation, the whole conversation becomes encrypted to Facebook's secret conversation police. So secret conversations include a mechanism to perform franking of messages sent through Facebook. Okay, no, I've read that right. Franking, okay, sure. This mechanism is analogous

to placing a cryptographic stamp on the message without learning the message content. Aha. You know, this is going over my head. Well, they define franking right here as the mechanism must satisfy three main guarantees

authenticity, confidentiality, and third part party deniability you know until it's uh until it's a thing that people can test out uh i'm gonna say don't trust facebook i know it's pretty hot take until we can sniff those packets exactly till we can see that your keys are being sent directly from the Facebook server. Man, you remember when Zoom was doing that and they were telling everyone that they were end-to-end encrypted? Well, the Verge article mentioned that Zoom does end-to-end encryption too, but it's like, how does it do that when people in China can still sneak into the calls? Shh, don't think about it. Think nothing, I am not here.

Look, it's end-to-end encrypted if we say it's end-to-end encrypted. It's end-to-end, it's encrypted with the server. That's all that matters. That, see, the server's the other end, your computer and then the server. That's the end-to-end. Yeah, we decrypt it at the server and then other end. Your computer and then the server. That's the end to end. Yeah, we decrypt it at the server and then re-encrypt it. It's encrypted end to end.

It's transitively encrypted. Anybody doing a man in the middle can't read it, but we can still read it. Exactly. That's the most important thing. Nobody else can read it. You've got to have the the google mentality of uh handling handling any data it's fine as long as we do it yes more companies are

becoming that way apple is lock locking everybody else out facebook is locking everybody else out google's locking everybody else out it's interesting to watch big tech fight each other over data well that's because they all know like i was gonna i was gonna say that's because they all know like how valuable it actually is they used to share it together it seemed and now they've like no done we're cutting you off We're cutting you off. We're cutting you off. We're done. You know, I'm sure there's with enough money in a backdoor deal, you could

probably convince them to still let go of the data. A little bit. Maybe you could make the argument that has something to do with the the I guess legal focus on do with the, um... The... I guess legal focus on them right now. But they realize, like, how powerless the US government is in actually prosecuting them.

Because they know, like... The second, like... What? Oh, we're gonna actually... I don't know, take any action against you. Well, we're gonna pull out of the US. How do you like the sound of that one? Like, yeah, okay, we'll just go all in on China then.

They don't care. They know, like, there's nothing that can actually be done by, like, the US government. It's interesting and I mean they work with China anyway on all their small stuff. Yeah yeah. And to some extent Valve does too but they don't implement the policies across the board it seems because they've got a completely separate China client for Steam. Yeah yeah if you go into your your Steam, you'll see there's like Steam and then the Steam China folder.

It's probably a flag that activates that has like Chinese parental controls. Like, I get why a lot of companies are like trying to go for that market. It is a very big developing market.

But as long as the approach that is required to get you to operate in China doesn't spread out of that, at the end of the day, it could certainly be worse. To some extent, it just makes it worse just adapting your technology for it as it becomes the temptation to like spread it elsewhere because how can we use it to capitalize on everybody else now exactly yeah but yeah well i was gonna say hey but then there are alternatives in a lot of cases they there just aren't, though. That's the problem.

It's like, oh, sure, there's alternatives to things like Google, but most people don't even know they exist. Most people don't use them. Oh, speaking of that, have you tried out Brave Search yet? I've played around with it a couple times. I just haven't really worried about it because I've set up my own search instance. Ah, okay.

Yeah. So... It would be interesting to see if BraveSearch is implemented as a search engine, which I could imagine it would be. Well, they will have describing themselves as a an open search engine by which they mean they will have a api to make search requests um so i don't see any reason why that wouldn't be a thing that happens at some

point it's just a brave search right now is still in beta so i imagine that will come later down the line they've still got to build their index up well they had all these years to do it they have the index you just can't use it by itself assuming that i trust the brave numbers they put out where it's like, oh, yes 87% of searches are done with brave search index like yeah, but like you're not showing me an actual You know statistics or anything like that. You're just giving me this number like 87 like Right, but like can you tell me exactly what?

87 Nah, okay. Wibby's a better search engine, anyway. What? B. I don't, that... Dot me. I don't know about that one.

Let's see, what we got here? Wibby dot me. Okay. Let's see what we got here. Wibby.me. Okay. Let's see. Oh! Why is there a giant... Oh, I thought it was a penis. It's a light tower.

It's a... It's an ASCi lighthouse yeah it's for um websites that only use like html and css at the bare minimum basically very minimal websites like for someone that wants to go and look at websites that resemble web pages from the 90s or early 2000s they can. Ah, so people in my audience. Yes. I didn't know about this one for obvious reasons but I, you know, bought websites to some extent. Except submissions and you can

submit your own website to it and if it falls in the proper criteria they add it to it. Oh, that's actually kind of cool. It's been added to it. That actually is really cool. Let's, you know, I'm going to search for something. Oh wow, that's actually kinda cool. It's been added to it. That actually is really cool. Let's, you know, I'm gonna search for something. Oh wow there's actually, huh there's actually some pretty cool stuff here. You want some anime wallpapers? Sure you can get anime wallpapers here. Sure, no that's cool I didn't know that. Maybe you need to do a video on that or something.

Just let people know. Even got like that I'm feeling lucky type button too. Mm-hmm. Like get in a random site. Yeah, I never knew what that did when I was a kid. Just like... It's obvious now, but like when I saw it as a kid, it was like, well, you can do a search. It was I'm feeling lucky. For some reason, my monkey brain just couldn't put two and two together.

It's like, why did you send me to a random page? A random page. I thought I was going to get a cool search, but you sent me this instead. But there were like, I don't know if Google still has them, but back in the early 2000s, there were a lot of Easter eggs with I'm feeling Lucky. I don't know if

they're still there or not. Maybe. I'm not even sure if they still have the Do a Barrel Roll Easter egg, or the Zerg Rush Easter egg. Oh, yeah, those were a thing, weren't they? Yeah. Man.

You know, Google, as much as I don't like them now they certainly were a uh an entertaining company before they tried to take over the world i know i can't remember who it was talking about about it but they got google banned because they were playing the pac-man doodle in school oh that that sounds like something a school would do i've got so many fun like fun stories of my school it team just being utterly incompetent see my school's it team wasn't really so much incompetent they were just kind of lazy

and so they'd hang out in the tech classes most of the time which computer repair networking were on a completely separate network because the school district was afraid of us hacking the whole school network uh-huh well they had a little like separate network for just the computer classes oh god i can only imagine that going you know actually no to be fair there might be some value in that because um so my school's security was so utterly bad there were a couple of uh couple of script kiddies that took control over some of the computer monitoring software. So every single laptop in my school had this

I don't remember what it was called, but it was basically a program that let you monitor what the screens were doing and even take over the screen and force something to it. Oh yeah! And there were a couple of script kiddies that somehow got access to an admin account

the password was i know it wasn't admin it was probably admin one or something um and they would do things like show porn to people just play like random music and no one knew for the longest time who it was because it would always show up as like... Obviously, they were smart enough to... Either they were smart enough to hide their IP address so that people didn't know exactly which device it was, or the IT team was dumb enough to not realize you can check IP addresses of devices on your network.

And because it looked like it was coming from the admin account, well, who else could it be but the admin i think a lot of those that software they didn't really show the name of the computer and the stuff for the one that took control i know you could see from the dashboard everybody's screen from it yeah yeah what they were doing in the name of the computer but other than that i don't think from the admin it showed that uh what do you mean it's in like when it would broadcast to the other screens i've seen it because i know the teachers would use it yeah yeah and i don't it wouldn't show the name of the computer that was broadcasting their screen with everybody i mean but like in the i'm sure in like the audit log for the software, it would show like who was,

like what devices were using it. If they were smart enough to like check that, which they won't. Do you expect school IT to do that? They're paid by the state, come on. Yeah, no, I don't expect that because I remember back when I first started that school, I had the admin password. Because they actually did set it to admin. And the first day we were there, we got access to it. What's funny is when you partition a network off of students because you're afraid of them hacking into the rest of the network. And you still let them plug their own like flash or whatever memory into it like i had a an external hard drive that i would play games from during

lunch and all yeah i always plugged it into the computers to access my programs and stuff because i also had portable firefox on me all the time so So I had my history, my bookmarks and everything, wherever I went to whatever computer. Actually at my school, that was really dangerous to do. So while my, my IT staff were incompetent, they were incompetent in a awful way. So I don't know why they did this, but I think they had it set up as like a regex search of files. And if it came across a certain file name, it would just delete it. What?

So we would play things like Assault Cube, Urban Terror, Halo, like the first Halo game, because that was the only one that worked on a Mac. We had COD 4 and a bunch of other stuff and when they realized we were playing this stuff they just basically were like hey if it has the same name as the executable or whatever they called it on Mac

just delete it so you could just change the name and it wouldn't delete it yeah some kids had actually put a no CD cracked Starcraft install on one of the school network drives so they basically play starcraft from that oh jesus christ we did i think by the end maybe by the time i was in year 12 we did finally have

like a network drive set up and the security obviously wasn't good you could for the first couple of days you could access anyone else's drive like nice it's like you're supposed to have a specific folder that was your allocated petition no just do whatever yeah what's goofy is windows xp had this thing where you could drop a desktop.ini file into any folder. And in the Explorer window, it would change the program if you set it to an image file. So I'd have done that with my student network drive. Go in and there's a background behind all the icons in this window. So my school had the laptops we had like

it wasn't bring your own device they had like dedicated laptops for the school um and because it was like that do you know like how how bad people treat their devices when they don't own it because man got a pretty good idea. So, they would just put their laptops in the bag and just throw the bag around as if they were throwing around a basketball or something. Yeah. And I don't even know how many devices got broken. But it got to the point where they were just like,

you know what? We're just not going to replace some of them. You can just use pen and paper, but it had gotten to the point with that school where, like, they said that laptops were, like, a privilege to use, like, not a, not something that you, you had to use, but they'd gotten to the point where they had embedded the use of laptops so far into the curriculum that if you didn't have the laptop with you you just couldn't work in a lot of cases so they put themselves in a

situation where they said we're not replacing it but at the same time we kind of have to replace it if we want them to do their school work and I feel like it's getting way worse I have a nephew that is seven years old

and he has to use a tablet for school. You can use a good book. Come on. Come on. No, who needs to learn how to write on paper? Really? My handwriting is really bad, but I expect, like, being out of handwriting

probably won't even be that much of a thing maybe in, like, 30 years. Like, the only reason really to handwrite at this point is to fill out forms, and a lot of forms are going digital only. Well, what is it? Oh, I think it wasregon had basically dropped the graduation requirements basically for reading and math and all it's like so you're gonna let students graduate

without knowing how to read write or anything we you know maybe maybe luke's onto something we are regressing well that's the thing where it's like, how do you think that's smart? Well, they can get opportunities. It's like, no, they can't. They can't do anything. How do you expect them to be able to fill out an application if they don't know how to read or write?

I can't even... This is why the high school diploma is more worthless now. But like you. Even... To be honest like just having a high school diploma isn't isn't even that valuable at this point anyway because everyone sort of got got into this mindset where you have to go and get like higher education if you don't get higher education there's just like no opportunities for you to actually have i i can tell you that that is such bull and i i mean i think i've i've only vaguely touched on it in one of my in a previous video but i mean like it's a paper really means nothing it is valuable in some cases,

but it's the knowledge behind it that's valuable. And if you don't really have that knowledge, then the paper's worthless. Well, the funny thing is, even like with something you would think, you would think that having a higher education would be important, like with a programming job, for example,

a lot of companies follow everything that Google does. And Google at this point basically doesn't care about higher education it cares more about your portfolio and like actually demonstrating you can work so people are getting these like tens of thousands of dollars of debt and i wouldn't be surprised if everyone just ends up following google down this path. Like, yeah, you know what? We don't care about that.

Like, obviously, there are some things where higher education is important. You know, like, I wouldn't want my doctor to not have been to university. But... So, I done learned how to do this on the horse out in the back 40. But, like, I've been to uni. I've met programmers that come out of uni. A lot of them are not very good. Just because you have that degree doesn't mean you actually know what you're doing. Bad habits that you learn in college that you now have to unlearn.

Oh yeah, that's the other problem because there are so many professors who either have never worked in industry or worked in industry so long ago that the way they do stuff is just really outdated. Well, it's not just that. It's not even practical because they've never been in the industry itself. They're not keeping up with the standards. They're just doing the same thing that they've always done. The only ones that really make it

are the people that go to school to learn to become a teacher or a professor yeah this i i've said this before like my sister right now is in her first year of uni and she's like why the hell are we learning this stuff i don't understand this and every time she says i'm like the reason why you're learning it is because they are teaching you to be a teacher that is the only reason why like a lot of sure a lot of stuff will be useful but when it's like hey how do i calculate this specific chemical property by hand like you don't need to do that there are machines to do that unless you're building the machines it doesn't matter i mean if you've got people that are teaching it that are actively in the field which i know

there's some yeah yeah tools organizations that do then that works if not then no in some cases even then it's i know i've actually had some pretty bad experiences in that case as well like I so I had this uh this lecturer for my big data class and he works uh what do you say it was something like he he does big data stuff in like the medical industry bringing together basically like um so I presume it's the same thing for you guys, but every single hospital has their own hospital records. And getting those records, like, you know, together between the hospitals, very difficult. So he basically works trying to make that a thing to actually, so you can just go to any hospital

and they just have your records, like, on a computer. Ours is very similar. There's a lot of paper records and stuff, especially for older people. But yeah, basically that's what he was doing. But some of the ideas he had for how you can handle some of the big data problems we had were just insane.

He was under the assumption that it doesn't matter how long your script takes to run because they're just gonna pay you regardless it's like oh it'll take a week to run it's fine it's like see and that's the other thing is a lot of these people yeah they don't understand they haven't really looked at it deep down if they understood how like the computer process things or understood a lower level like assembly a little bit better than maybe they'd think differently like it was i think it was some like python problem we had or something and the way he was approaching it basically it was um it was an exponential time curve his like his approach

It was an exponential time curve, his approach. And he's like, on anything above 100 records, this thing would take forever to run. And I was like, yeah, that's fine. It's fine. Doesn't matter. Oh, it's not. It needs to be done right. Well, the other problem with it is he wanted us to jot down our results in the write-up we did. And his solution would have taken four hours to run. I don't want to wait four hours to do that, just let, let me do my solution, and, uh, with that assignment, he actually, so, all of, like, the, um, so, all the big data students, they did his solution, all of the, sorry, no, it was the general tech people all the general tech people

did his solution all the programmers did like my solution and like the good solution and he failed all of the programmers in that class well you know who's gonna get ahead at least but um when he did that we went and talked to his boss like you know this guy's an idiot right like it's like oh yeah you guys can pass the assignment now i was like oh yeah thank you yeah that's just a case where um said in his ways yeah said in his ways and it's more some people are more about kissing butt than doing the job right i think where you get benefits from industry people is when they're like young industry people this guy had been working in the industry for like 40 years so he'd already sort of it would be like getting like a kobold programmer to teach a c class for example like i think in some cases you get these older people

that do it right and they teach you to do it right the difference is he was set in a way of like doing it however because he was paid to do it and he doesn't care yeah yeah exactly I've had some really really good lecturers it's just that

I there's been a lot more that haven't haven't been good for sure schools aren't always the best at getting the best people. For sure. Well, yeah, the best people are going to be doing something else. Like, this is why, like, um,

this is why you see, like, this big influx of, like, influences on YouTube selling courses. Like, sure, they probably could do it themselves, but they're smart enough to realize the better way to make money is to sell you on how to go make some money.

Yeah. It's an interesting thing, too. It's like, well, I can sell my course on how to do this thing rather than paying, giving someone else a cut. If you... The guy who's going to get rich in the gold rush isn't the guy digging for the gold, it's the guy selling the shovels.

Yeah. Gets all the gold eventually. Do you need a new shiny shovel? For your dull, dead shovel that's now dead from digging gold? Use a new pickaxe, too. So, I don't think there's much else to say about that, but here's his

one. Do you like TikTok? I do not have a TikTok at all. I was asked that before. It's like, why? My goodness. Everyone is becoming TikTok. YouTube is TikTok. Twitter is TikTok.

Instagram is TikTok. Man, everyone needs to have a TikTok-like feature in their app right now. I appreciate that they featured Beelzebub's mistress as one of the screenshots in here. Because it really explains where this comes from pretty well. I don't... Like... Okay, YouTube Shorts, when they first dropped, were really good. A lot of people were trying, like, really new stuff, and, like, you're getting a lot of, like, really cool stuff coming from that. Now, I'm just seeing a lot of, like, TikTok re-uploads, and there's a lot of, like, music and dancing stuff now.

It's like, can we just... Can we just go back to when it was good, please? Like, just, like, a couple of days when it was good. All the TikTokers came in and said, said well i'm gonna make ad money here and here he's you don't actually make ad money on youtube shorts right now oh but hey you can you can certainly sell stuff you can make it true was it someone got mad because i had uploaded a short of the cats doing stuff. But one of the cats' name is Slanech, so it makes sense.

There's a joke there that's going over my head. Warhammer 40k. Yep, that's why. Out of chaos, of debauchery, and other... ...illicit things. I have literally never played Warhammer. I do have some mates who play Warhammer and like they're playing it in the um... ...the clubroom at uni a couple of times and I just watch them.

I'm like, I don't know what's going on. It's like you're like, you got measuring tapes out and stuff. Like I don't know what's going on. You've got measuring tapes out and stuff. I don't want someone on. Some people get really, really detailed in their war games or RPGs to that point. Yeah, other people could care less. They just want to have a good time.

It's like, yes, you're allowed to move this exact number of millimeters. If you move any more than that, then you are cheating. Do not move. Yeah, most RPGs use a grid-based system, and each one is about 5 feet or a meter, depending on whatever. But you get to move so many based on your speed stat and this, that, and the other.

Yeah, I have played, like, a bit of D&D in the past, but that's as far as I've actually gotten into that entire world. Or I guess, I've played D&D. I played a bit of... There's a Star Wars pen and paper that I can't remember the name of. I think I've come across it.

I've seen some of the stuff for it. Some of the game stores I've been in. of the stuff for it some some of the game stores i've been in and um there was a a cyberpunk themed one that i don't remember the name of either uh i don't remember anyway but i i like the idea of a pen and paper my only issue with them is they take a really long time to like to actually go through a good campaign it takes a really really long time it also depends on the system too most people use dnd some of the older dnd versions are slower then some of the newer ones might be a little bit quicker but they're also shaved down a lot so yeah i'm trying to lock you into a certain thing. I mainly played 3.5 when I was playing.

Okay. I have played a little bit of 5th Edition, but not much to really have much of an opinion on. I do know that it's supposed to be easier, though. There are some systems that are designed

to get you up and going really quick. Like, basic art roleplay is one of those. You basically have skills, and your percentage basically goes up if you train those skills. So you're legitimately training skills rather than arbitrarily putting points into things, level up, or get better and you roll

a percentile and you have to get under that percentage that's on your sheet in order to make the roll okay just way different than what i've seen in most systems require you to be over that yeah yeah uh i i i don't know how you feel about like different campaigns but if i play dnd i don't really like the super serious campaigns where it's like yes we are we're a serious group of adventurers we're going to seriously slay the dragon i like it when it's more like hey there's a there's a fox girl over there can i like i don't know do something questionable i i like to give i like to have leeway for shenanigans that it if you're serious all the time it doesn't make it any fun but if you've got leeway for where you can like crack

jokes and like do other shenanigans it gets really interesting and if you've got a gm that's willing to work with that and you can run into some interesting things like throwing dwarves over barrels adding your strength bonus to his dexterity bonus role yeah and then um succeeding in the role because of it like there's so much fun stuff you can do with the system if you just allow it to just be a bit more free-flowing like oh yeah land a role is easy but like you know there's you can you can make that you make that way more fun like i had um i there was there's one one uh game i played where where someone found a goblin. They hogtied the goblin and then used it as a flail. It's a cool improvised weapon.

That's the sort of fun stuff that I wanted a DM to let me do. My cousins, I believe it were, were playtesting 5th edition before it was officially released. And so one of them had found a block of cheese. Basically, they started putting all these knives into it. Because it's like the GM's like, yeah, guess you can use it as an improvised weapon. Yes, an improvised throwing weapon weapon so they were like slowly making this block of cheese really buff with more and more blades in it it's just like it's an insane block of cheese i wonder i wonder what the roll looked like for that one i don't remember what

they said it was but but it was ridiculous. Like, the problem I have with, like, the serious campaigns is if you, especially when you, like, first start out, if you sort of roll your character in a shitty way, you sort of handicap yourself the entire campaign. Whereas if you're... Sorry, I was going to say,

whereas if it's more free-flowing, you can still, like, sort of bullshit your way out of situations uh well there was one campaign we i was other group has been looking at doing for a while it's just we haven't gotten around to doing it and we were coming up with character concepts and i'm like well my character is like this silver tongue rogue that's just like really good in social situations can like like walk his way out of anything pretty smooth except for romance he he feels like he can do romance really well, but he has a really, really hard time at reading romance situations, and when someone's hitting on him or someone else,

but he believes he's really good at it, and he understands how it works. Oh, God. Yeah. Trouble that could be gotten into with that one. I can only see how well that would go. I was kind of excited to see it too, but we still haven't

gotten around to that. Yeah, that makes sense. I haven't played D&D in so long though. I think the last time I played it... Maybe six? Seven years ago? A while.

Yeah, like, the group I was in sort of, like, fell apart. And, like, everyone sort of started going their own ways. We did come back for, like, a couple of, like, sessions here and there, but, like, nothing really holding together like it used to. Yeah. nothing really holding together like it used to yeah um the one group that i've been going to for the last what two or three years i think um went to doing it over discord because of covid crap and then just got back to doing it in person because after a while of doing it on discord, it's just really hard to hold some things together and keep everyone focused.

Yeah. Yeah. You're not like there in person. Yeah. We've been, we we've kind of barely gotten it back together that way, but we've done a bunch of different games. So I've been able to try a few different systems.

Just fun. I think I know someone talked about like when is the Linux youtuber D&D thing gonna be done it's like don't know that would be kind of fun it would be I don't know if anyone has any interest in doing it plus someone needs to run it yeah yeah look maybe it's probably like it's probably too soy for Luke or something would he mental outlaw maybe

no I feel like mental outlaw if anyone would do it it would be it would be Kenny yeah I mean it's like okay he comes across as the kind of person that also has steam installed on his stuff with the way that he's talked about it and you could assuming he's not insanely busy wendell surely would do it but wendell is a very very busy man and I mean for Linux YouTubers there are lots of sci-fi RPG

so I mean what command do you use to get in here just rm-rf you waved through everything yeah was it successful no their security is too good rm-RF won't work

Dash-dash preserve-root Nope, still won't work They thought about that already I'm going to hit it with a hammer then Hit strike is successful Man, look Hitting something with a hammer is the quickest way To get through most situations

Who needs things to wait through it? So one of my thumbnails something about hammer is the quickest way to get through most situations. Who needs things to go through it? So, one of my thumbnails I was going through and looking for a Warhammer-themed meme for it, and one of them... So, in Warhammer 40k, you've got the Adeptus Mechanicus. They're

this transhuman, cyborg type religious people. their religion is their technology basically so one there was one where it's like have you tried performing the right of percussive maintenance which means have you tried smacking it with a hammer? Right. Okay. Right. You know... Right of percussive maintenance.

You know, I'm going to use that one from now on. I like that. Oh, God. The problem with playing Warhammer is Warhammer is very expensive to get into. That, I think that mostly depends on

whether you're getting into the figurines. I know the figurines, the models add a lot into it, but at the same time, I don't think they're necessary because from what I've skimmed through the rulebooks that I have, I don't see anywhere where it says you need the models for it. They're mostly for like, oh. So you could use a placeholder if you wanted to.

Yeah. You could use a placeholder, but there's still plenty of methods of using like no maps at all for combat as well. Well, I guess there are like digital forms that could work as well. Well, I guess there are digital forms that could work as well. Yeah. But I feel like that has the exact same problem that doing D&D over Discord has.

Where it's like you lose a lot of the... A lot of the... What would be a good way to put it? A lot of the... Maybe sense of scale in this case probably would be a good way to put it. Well, most of the games that i've played over discord we haven't really used a map at all so like people have come up with methods of doing like combat without needing a map or anything it's just you've got to

be more imaginative with it and i know for some people that can be hard, for the NPCs in particular. But... It's doable. And it more focuses on the story than anything. Right, right. No, I get that. Maybe it would be interesting. Hmm.

But I still... Okay, so what has been the problem with doing uh dnd over discord because i can imagine it it sort of probably has to do with like the liveliness of the environment but like what issues have you actually like run across doing that mostly getting distracted so like you've got like your game over here and so you might have your character pull sheet sheet pulled up in a pdf or whatever but then you've still got leeway to go and like play another game or something else so what you're saying is you're not fully focused on what you're doing so someone is playing dnd with you guys and then high arcing in RuneScape on the other screen. Yes, exactly. Fair enough.

In the world of dual monitors, everything is possible. Right. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I feel like the groups that I've been in have always been very rowdy groups and we're getting really loud about stuff as well. I feel like that would also... You'd lose a lot of that energy as energy as well yeah that's another problem too is like our group sometimes has problems making decisions like so we'll sit there for like a half an hour to liberating on the best decision and when you're over voice chat on discord

yeah doesn't always work out the best in that situation. Yeah, well, there's no reason Discord couldn't handle it properly, but Discord tends to lower voices and stuff like that, so you end up... Or it'll just muffle everything, which you don't really get as a problem when, obviously, you're talking face-to-face. Yeah.

So it comes to the point where, like, basically someone has to make a decision, it's like we're just gonna do this at this point. No, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it would be an interesting experience to try and I'm sure like I know people have made it work, like there are really popular like D&D series on YouTube, but it would be a challenge i would say i think most of it has to do with like the excitement of the story in the campaign and the amount of leeway you give them to goof off as well yeah yeah if they have room to like explore and do different things other than sitting within the model you can't exactly keep them in this one spot like super serious if you're doing it with less tools yeah

yeah yeah that makes a lot of sense um hmm I'm gonna show you a YouTube channel okay this this is the... This is possibly the most big-brained thing I've ever seen. I was talking about it on the Discord the other day. But this channel... You may have seen it if you search for anything on Stack Overflow. It looks like a regular YouTube channel. Oh, that's cool.

Yeah. Okay. So, I need to explain this channel for anyone who doesn't know what this is. This is a channel that looks like a completely normal channel. But you might notice, like, how many videos are being uploaded. So, in the past hour, there has been 12, 15, 18, 21, 20, like, there's usually somewhere in the range of, like, two or three hundred videos an hour, um, this is such a fucking big brain approach to YouTube, I love it, uh, every single video look, like, every video looks like a legit video, that's the thing,

Uh, every single video look like every video looks like a legit video. That's the thing. Um, like that's the funniest thing about it. You have like an intro and like a little thing about himself. Then there is like the way he actually does it. So what were you going to say? Yeah. So he's got like a slightly different intro for all of them. You can see in the preview. He reuses a lot of them though. preview he reuses a lot of them though yeah at the same time they're only like two minutes a piece yeah they basically like bought it a stack overflow and got like the top six or whatever answers to each quest you know so if you didn't want to search a stack overflow you could stack Stack Overflow. You could search Stack Overflow on YouTube. Mm-hmm. So, most of his videos get, like, two or three views,

but that's the thing. They don't need to get many views because I'm going to show you how many views this guy has. What was his name? I've already forgot it. Roll. Roll Vendor Par. Which, honestly, I don't even think is a real name, but it might be he does have a LinkedIn

That's actually the funny thing about it Here's his LinkedIn linked on this as well. So I know what he's doing here. He has 1.3 a million uploads So Basically with each video getting almost no views it doesn't matter because if one of them does well or if a couple of them do well of like let's just say up on december of 2012 he only really started uploading two years ago and i think okay so no it is a real name it's just roll vanderpast sounds like it it's such a uh it's such like a super villain name it doesn't even sound like a real

name but this guy is a apparently a principal test engineer at maria db uh director at dream computers pty limited columnist at linux config.org and cloud savvy it. And he's... I didn't notice this. He's an Aussie as well. He's from Wagga Wagga. He's from Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. So, basically, what I think this YouTube channel is, is sort of like either he's pretending like he knows all of this stuff about tech or he's using it as like a

way to demonstrate something he's like created maybe but his second video is the best one how to properly secure a baby playpen what was that when he was making actual videos I linked it in the DMs

yeah yeah I saw it oh okay this is yeah is before he actually was making whatever he's making. What the hell is this? I can't play the audio, but I'll check it out afterwards. What is he doing? Is he just... Is he going to zip tie the playpen? I mean, it works.

It does work, I guess. But man, this channel is like such a big brain idea. Because we go to his top uploads. He's got a couple of things in here that actually have done quite well.

He's got one about remove enterprise enrollment from Chrome OS 3 solutions, uh, Ubuntu slash dev slash SDA1 clean 22024 slash, what, what the hell, how does that have 16k views how to open apple ios aae file and all of these videos have like such a bad like to dislike ratio doesn't matter though because it's not a real channel it doesn't matter because all those interactions lead to pumping the algorithm that if he's using ad revenue, that he's still getting it. Oh, no, he has ad revenue on this. Like, every single video has an ad at the front. So, I can tell you how much he's making.

I can do a little bit of napkin maths and tell you exactly how much he's making. So, my channel, this is with mid rolls, I am sitting around 400 a month. So that includes mid rolls and he will still have end roll ads. So if we cut out the mid rolls, multiply is used by four, I reckon he's probably somewhere in the range of 1300 Australian a month, which puts him around about a thousand US for doing no work, for setting up a script on a VPS and just letting it run. It's really not that bad.

No, it is not. There's passive income at its finest. I know, I know someone's gonna be like, oh you're just jealous. No, I'm not jealous. I wish I thought of this myself. That is such a good idea. Just game the fuck out of the YouTube algorithm. And anybody that doesn't understand, those dislikes still matter in the algorithm. It's interaction any interaction just like says yeah this is cool I mean yeah it's depressing when like two-thirds of your dislikes are like thumbs down but at the same time I still get money yep yeah YouTube like what YouTube cares about is interactions

as long as there is some interaction YouTube doesn't care if it's positive or negative. In fact, in a lot of cases, a negative interaction is actually better. What negative interaction says is this video is controversial, and when a video is controversial, it's likely going to be pushed a lot. Take, for example, except in some cases, but like, take, for example, like, there's been really bad, like, Call of Duty trailers, for example, except in some cases, but, like, take, for example, um, like, there's been really bad, like, Call of Duty trailers, for example, and those videos do insanely well, it's way better than they would have done if they, like, were just a, a regular, what, it's just, here's another Call of Duty game, wow, but if it's like, hey, this is the worst trailer you've ever seen that's going to do really

well well it's it's the rage bait thing yeah yeah and news companies use this too as rage bait to get interactions get views and they get money yeah yeah yeah that's like the best way that you can the best way you can make a video just disappear is to not acknowledge its existence that is the only thing you can do disliking leaving a bad comment doesn't do that not at all only just pretending it's not a thing my favorite ones is when people say this thumbnail is so wrong but it's like you, based on the emoji you added to that comment, I think it was the right one. I love when people say like, um, this thumbnail is clickbait because I didn't like, I just exaggerated something a little when it's like, oh yes, this, uh, I don't know. exaggerated something a little.

When it's like, oh yes, this, uh, I don't know. When I say something like, oh, just do not follow this advice. This advice is horrible or something, or this is the greatest thing you'll ever see. And it's just like, oh, this is just a great thing. It's not like I'm sending

you a complete wrong direction. This is exaggeration. This is just the state the internet is in right now at this point. I thought this was going to be something interesting, but it was just this. It's like it did its job. No, that's my favorite. I thought this was going to be interesting.

Like, I can't tell what you're going to like. That's fine. I'll make better videos, but at the end of the day i don't know what you like personally i'll do what i like you do you what you like oh no i think the best in that that respect is when the video does like better than any of my like recent ones and like this video is bad just like right but like you're the only one who thinks that it's like okay that's fine i'll take your opinion but like nobody else is saying that

one thing that i found though is like when something recent happens always take advantage of it that will in some way boost subscribers and in some cases boost views for the rest of everything else yeah yeah the i i have certainly tried to hit on like seo topics hard like that before but the problem is a lot of the time i'll get to like really early but it's still late enough where it's not as important as hitting it like within that first hour and i'm never going to get to topics like that quickly i always i i spend like a day planning stuff and actually get to it afterwards usually i like to let stories sort of like evolve before i get to it and i feel like if you miss something by a day missing it by three days is really no less valuable.

I mean, there's still a lot of people looking into it, but you're not going to have that bloated up traffic, but some of the bigger people are going to have it more so. Yeah, if, say, Linus Tech Tips hits something within that first hour, that's really big because they

already get a lot of views, so it's sort of like, it's multiplying their already massive view count by like a factor of like, I don't know 2 or 3 let's say but if a channel of my size does it, it's like a far less noticeable bump, it's not like my, you know, 3000 view video

is going to become like 100,000 view video, unless it's like some absolutely insane topic and i hit it before anyone else does there are some things where i've hit it like a little bit after and i've still gotten crazy views they're not quite my top videos but still a top performing videos right now we're all on web browsers oh lovely, lovely. Yeah, it's like, how? Yeah, I didn't, I don't know where all these people that cared about web

browsers came from. Oh, once, I think it was the Firefox thing. Then like Chrome, Google Chrome and stuff, so it makes sense, but the fact that it's still like, month after after month the top performing thing

just still boggles my mind i just i just looked at my youtube um i just looked at my youtube comments and someone i okay so i replied to a a video or I replied to a comment on Luke's video called OBS's major soyware. Someone left a comment saying, everything worked great in FFmpeg, starts getting frame drops instantly. So someone talked about why that happens with FFmpeg and...

Oh, he was like, I don't know why this happened with FFmpeg and oh he was like i don't know why this happened with ffmpeg and not with obs like why does obs handle cameras better and i uh i gave a response for like why like how to actually fix it with ffmpeg and this person for some reason doesn't like me telling them how to fix it and was just like shut up it's like what like are you i'm not trying to start a fight here i'm literally just saying how to fix it but do you want to start a fight no i was just giving you something to like help you but okay whatever oh people are dumb man i look sometimes sometimes youtube comments are like sometimes youtube comments are are great and then other times then other times

i just take it as the holy grail of comedy that's all uh let's see yeah you're skewered Linux YouTube you're not even on other Linux YouTubers radar and if you make content on a flavor of BSD forget about it you insignificant speck I feel like that one's taking the piss that has to be taking the piss

you're not you're insignificant it's like well if we're talking the this the sense of like the linux space uh linux space is still like really small i mean it sounded like they were like in the linux space you're insignificant it's like that doesn't sound like truth to me, but you can believe that. Like, in the greater tech space, sure, absolutely, I'll give you that one. In the Linux space, I think, like, my channel's probably in, like, the top 1%, because there's, like, barely any channels above 10k.

I think we can base that on the meme of the betrayal of Caesar, whose faces are in it. the meme of the betrayal of Caesar, whose faces are in it. Well, to be fair, that was made by someone... Who made that? Who made that?

I don't remember. It might have been Will. Probably. But it was made in my Discord, so there's got to be some weight put in on that, but... Yeah. Who was it?

The main one... Mm-hmm. I think it was... Luke was one of the main ones that they put in. I've got it as my wallpaper right now, so... I know. So we've got... Me obviously we've got luke uh wendell dt uh kenny's hiding out in the background uh lunduk who is i don't know what men i don't know what lunduk's doing right now lunduk's gone on some like weird weird path

he's on a weird tangent uh HexDSL's in the background we've got Hex I do like Hex he's a cool dude uh Chris Titus honestly like Mudahar is probably the only like actual big Linux

related YouTuber he doesn't focus on Linux but everybody knows the VM actual big Linux related YouTuber. He doesn't focus on Linux, but everybody knows the VM meme at this point from him. Well, he's the only like big YouTube I know that like even talks about. Like a big individual YouTube. I know that like Linus Tech Tips does have like the occasional video with Anthony running it, but he's the only one who actually like like, bring up Linux on, like, a regular basis. So what you need is Linux to compile this Android ROM.

Mm-hmm. Mm. Oh, God. But, like, I know a lot of people, like, meme about it, but I actually do appreciate, like, the fact that Linus Tech Tips does do a lot of coverage of Linuxux i think that is very important i think it's increased more recently though especially with the way valve

has been going so that that's kind of a big deal and especially since he used linux for his like 16 and 1 gaming pc one gaming PC. Which is insane, by the way. Yeah, that's I don't even want to know how much heat that thing is putting off. Too much. Probably like way, way too much.

But speaking of the Steam Deck, are you going to buy one? Are you going to wait until it's come out, are you gonna buy one? Are you gonna wait until it's come out or what's your plan? I- I- the big one is I've gotta wait until I have the money for it. Right, right. So you're gonna buy it some- I would very much like one. So you'd buy it sometime after launch then?

Probably. I mean, if I had the money to do it sooner, I'd pre-order it. Yeah, yeah. Well, I have sooner i'd pre-order it yeah yeah well i have no interest in pre-ordering it like my plan i was never gonna pre-order it anyway i'm gonna wait until like linus tech tips gamers nexus clicks fill up all of those people get their hands on one and i can see like how it actually performs because what we can say like like, oh, it runs Hades and Doom Eternal and all of these other games that work amazingly under Proton really well, what about games that don't work so well? How does it handle those ones? Like, if I go and launch up some random-ass JRPG

that, like, barely functions under Proton, is it going to be better do they actually have some patches to improve this that's that's the sort of stuff i want to know i i want my halo to work properly on it but it's one thing too that like still at the same time holds me back from the idea of pre-ordering it is actually having someone that can crack it open because if you can crack it open and put your own ssd inside of it then i would definitely buy the cheaper one and just upgrade the ssd itself yeah i don't think bigger no what the plan is in that respect apparently you can upgrade the ssd but whether the bottom tier one is going to have that slot is another question well it would make sense to have all the same hardware but a different ssd or memory module so yeah i i it might have it and if it does then absolutely go the cheapest one because buying it

because it looks like all the specs are the same for all of them it's just the memory that's the difference yeah so it'd be weird if they were using a different main board then it doesn't make sense to like just yeah we're gonna make this one cheaper and we're gonna design it slightly different when we could make all of them the same and mass produce them which would be way cheaper. Yeah, yeah. As long as they don't do something stupid like solder it into it, then we'll be fine. And you should, even if it is soldered on,

as long as they don't get in the way of where the SSD would go, it should be fine i would hope i mean valve seems to be moving more that direction to where you can replace certain parts considering like back when they were still selling the steam controller they released the sdls for it you could print your own parts for it shell atll, at least. So what do you think of the, not just the Steam Deck by itself, but this idea of, like, handheld computing sort of becoming more of a thing now? Like, handheld gaming, like, in the computer space? I like the idea of being able to take your games with you wherever you go.

I like the idea of being able to take your games with you wherever you go. Um, it being an end all be all, I don't quite see happening. Like if you want the top performance, I still see like desktop or whatever is your best option. But like, if you're just going out for like a little bit and you just want to have something to do real quick and you want it to be something better than what your phone can do,

by all means, I'm all for it. The fact that this is customizable means that it can do more while you're out and about too. I know a lot of people have talked about doing things like emulation on it and I feel like that is one of those things where I think it can really, really shine because we don't know exactly how well it will perform but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to handle at least ps2 games

yeah in what i think that might have slightly better specs than what i've got in my laptop currently. So, I don't see why not, because I can run GameCube games just fine on it. You might struggle with later generations, like towards the end of the PS2 generation, but playing most of the games, or less

demanding PS2 games, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to. Yeah. If Doom Eternal can run on it, why can't PS2 games i don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to yeah if doom eternal can run on it why can't ps2 games it is running at medium and doom eternal runs really well uh like under linux but that's why i sort of want to wait until we have some more independent actual benchmarks and stuff like that you've got low-spec gamer on that one. Actually, one thing in that regard is FSR. FSR is really gonna help out

with actually getting games running well. Because you can, even if games don't support it, you can force in the AMD drivers. Or you can force through Proton. I just wish these improvements would come out

and roll out through Steam quicker so that people could actually mess with them and actually help improve them, rather than them holding it back. Because not only would that improve the experience for the end user currently, but it would allow them to have that time so that they can improve it when the steam deck launches and it's not

going to be a super buggy mess when it does one thing i really hope is they don't do something dumb and i don't i don't see this being the path of goes down, but I hope they'll do something dumb and just make this new version of Proton not available through the regular Proton streams. Make it so it's like a Steam Deck only thing. I don't see Valve doing that. They've sort of said they want Linux to be like their backup for gaming, and I can't imagine they want to be in the hardware market forever.

So I hope that's not what they do, but it is a possibility. With them using Linux as a backend, I don't see how they're going to keep it out of the end user's hands for their devices on their normal Linux boxes because someone's inevitably gonna pull it and then unless there's some like it over elsewhere unless there's some like key validation

or something like that that's the only thing i could see that would stop that you can run proton outside of steam so yeah um i want i hope this rolls out to everyone. And that would be awesome. Because even if I don't buy a Steam Deck, I want to be able to do things like run Easy Anti-Cheat and stuff like that under Linux without any problem. I don't have to reboot into Windows to grind Halo Season Points no more.

My Windows install looks hilarious right now. So I put all the programs that I run like on my what's it called the shortcut bar is that what it's called start bar whatever the hell it's called on windows and right now there are three programs on it there is

there is my web browser there is osu and there are my osu tablet drivers and that is all. That is the only thing I use Windows All right now. Just playing Osu Stable. I know you can... Yeah, yeah. I know you can play it under Wine, but

that introduces some input delay, and I'd rather just not. I know you can reduce it, but the best experience with Osu is still under Windows. It can be better under Linux. But, yeah. Unless you put a lot of work into it, getting to the point

where it's playable is kind of difficult. There are some games that worked before that just don't seem to anymore that I've had a problem with. Homeworld's remastered collection, you could skip the launcher. The script I have for that doesn't seem to anymore that I've had a problem with. Like, Homeworld's remastered collection, you could skip the launcher. The script I have for that doesn't seem to work anymore.

So, it's like, that's sad. Still, the only game I reboot for is Halo to get season points and unlocks. I do have the, um, the the, what is it, Master Chief Collection? Is that what it's called?

I've been meaning to play it. I don't really care Chief Collection, is that what it's called? Oh. I have been meaning to play it. I don't really care about doing, like, multiplayer, so I know the single player works almost perfectly under Linux. And I do want to play it, because I've only actually played, like, the first Halo game. Yeah. My laptop was, like, just burning its fan fan one point when i was streaming and so i switched

to master chief collection and in the middle of level it just dies midstream off i'm like crap i'll let it rest all right, guys. It said no more. That's better than what I had with, like, one of my Ender Lily streams, where for some reason, that game was just a little... It's supposed to have, like, a platinum rating on a proton, and it just had a little bit of a problem, where every time I fast-traveled, my GPU

drivers shut down. Just died completely. It's not good. It's not good. I thought maybe it was a one-time thing. So I did a reboot. Happened again. I haven't gone back to play it again, but I need you to just see what's going to actually happen. Someone might have come up with that issue on, otherwise, somewhere in ProtonDB. I hope so uh i was running i had to actually run um

proton uh g for that one because otherwise the cut scenes wouldn't run yeah there's still some games even with like any version of proton that i try it doesn't seem to work anymore so like all out new vegas i can't get it to run at all since i've also got it on gog i was able to install it through loot trust and it seems to run okay in that the only uh the only proton bug that i don't want to be fixed is uh the bug i had when i was playing... Spyro. Spyro, yeah. Where everything is just... All the cutscenes just play in a random language.

Just doesn't matter what... Which one's this one? Polish. Sometimes it's Polish. Sometimes it's Portuguese. Sometimes it's Japanese. I think once I... My entire playthrough of the first game,

I had English once. Granted, there's only like three cutscenes in the first Spyro. Yeah. Can't remember if I was there to watch that one. It was English that one time. I might have been. Yeah it was the final cutscene just after you beat uh Nasty Nook. So maybe you saw it, I don't know.

Maybe. nasty knock so maybe you saw it i don't know maybe i'm kind of up and down sometimes after i'm done streaming because i've got like other stuff that i need to do no that's fair enough no i i totally get that like don't just sit there watching live streams all day i know some people who do that it's like how do, how do you get anything else in your life done? Yeah. I mean particularly when you have to worry about stuff outside because it's not snowy outside.

Usually the winter time is a lot more laid back and I appreciate that. Imagine snow. What is snow? I've never seen that. I haven't. It's this white, cold, fluffy stuff. And it really helped Finland beat the Ruskies. It actually does snow in a couple of places here.

Mainly on, like, the, like, mountaintops. We do have a couple of ski resorts in Australia. It's just not many. Okay. I think in, like, Sydney and Melbourne and Tasmania, I know it does snow. Yeah. I think, for the most part, when people come to Utah, they come during the winter, and it's to go skiing and then leave. Yeah, that's fair.

At least that's the winter tourism. There are, like, other things to do during the summer but when it comes to the winter it's like we're just going for the good powder going like yeah man you gotta go for the good powder very important i mean we've even got like the silicon slopes which is basically like silicon valley in essence moving to utah and it's where all the tech companies are located in the state because silicon valley is stupidly expensive yeah and california taxes are ridiculous yeah we are we actually do have sort of the same problem here as well where most of the tech companies like the longest time have been in uh melbourne and sydney but sydney property prices have just like gone

absolutely through the roof where it's it's getting close to like silicon valley stuff where you know you pay a million dollars for a one-bedroom apartment stuff like that um but now you're starting to see a lot of these companies move out to places like Adelaide Which is making Adelaide prices also go up luckily suburbs aren't being hit yet But like inner-city Adelaide is just a mess of prices Sucks It does but at least in the meantime there there's, like, a lot of... Like, the good thing about the companies moving out to Adelaide

is there's a lot of work and not many workers because everyone goes, like, Melbourne and Sydney. So if you want to find a tech job here, it's really easy. I think... More people this way have gone to remote work for quite a number of things but there's still some things that require you to like be on location at least a little bit because i know what is it one of the larger fitness companies icon is based in logan they've got some of their ux designers that apparently travel to different places where they have clientele to like get an idea for what the customer is

looking for so but even their oh work um schedule really isn't much of a schedule yeah remote work is gonna really change the way a lot of companies sort of go forward i know a lot of them were really hesitant early on and now they're hesitant again trying to get people to come back into the office but i don't think you can really i don't think you can reverse what's been done over the past two years everyone's realized like how great remote work is and i don't know if you can really you can really change that back a lot of a lot of people i think i think that the there's like surveys done about like the most important things that people are looking for like from a

job obviously like the salary is the top one that one hasn't changed but remote like being able to do remote work is really quickly rising on that list yeah it makes sense and a lot of people aren't going back to their fast food jobs either so sucks to be them i i did see a uh i think it was a taco bell uh where they had a sign up said sorry we're closed today everybody quit and apparently i mean i'd ask how this has happened i'd ask how am i supposed to get my baja blast but then again baja blast is in bottles and cans currently on the store shelves. I have literally no idea what that is. It's a Mountain Dew flavor. Right, okay. Yeah, we have one Mountain Dew flavor here.

We have Energized. That is all. Yeah. In Utah, it's really popular, known as the Mormon coffee. Why is it the Mormon coffee? because we don't drink coffee sure and that's a source of caffeine right okay that makes sense oh you know yeah okay sure why not oh lord we are closing

in on two hours very shortly I'm tired for some reason I just woke up like two three hours ago something like that I'm already I know you just popped on discord like a while ago I've got some videos I still want to record today as well I think I just didn't sleep very well.

I don't know. Yeah. Because my housemate has an alarm that she has go off at seven in the morning and it goes off every day. And she doesn't even realize she has an alarm. Like I've told her about it. She's like, oh, what do you mean there's an alarm there?

Like your phone or alarm clock. Turn it off but um yeah I think I think we'll end it off around there I did have some other stuff to talk about but I think I'll just talk about some other time or I'll talk about maybe on the livestream or something um yes so do you have a a channel that you want people to go check out like who who would you recommend that deserves some attention there are a couple people that are really good one i know i've recently found is like shadowversity he does a bunch of oh stuff on medieval oh weaponry and like culture and stuff he's an Aussie too so oh yeah okay he does a weapon type stuff his most recent one was about like reasonable amount of gold to carry as an

adventure because he was playing Skyrim recently and he's like I've got all this gold like how heavy would that really be yeah this is like a really cool channel actually yeah I think I've vaguely recall hearing about this at one point,

but I don't think I've ever watched it. He has, like, three different videos on, like, nunchucks and why they're stupid. Uh-huh. And multiple times he makes books about them being inept sticks. Sure, okay. he makes um books about them being inept sticks sure okay um this isn't my recommendation but luke just uploaded a new video nine hours ago uh i don't know what it's about it's got a picture of bitcoin on it that's what it crypto-y one. The most monumental software oversight in history. Conspiracy lol.

Yeah, it's a blockchain bug. Right. He's not talking about 51% attacks, is he? Oh, he's not. He's talking about this one line of code in Bitcoin

that limits the size of the blocks in the blockchain. Right. Now that's really stupid. Uh-huh. Sure, I'll watch the video and we'll see. This is the guy who made a video about what Bitcoin is in 2021, so we'll see what he has to say about this, um, do I have my own suggestion, um, I don't think I have one today, actually, um, yeah, I can't

think of a channel, I guess just go watch CoffeeZilla. There you go, there's my suggestion. So where can people find you? I'm on YouTube, PeerTube, Pluroma, Twitch, Trovo, a whole bunch of places. It's pretty easy to find me, I've got the same screen name everywhere so I will leave all that stuff linked in the description down below if anyone wants to go check that out

yeah got a website so yeah anyway it's all there also he's in my discord a lot so if you want to like I don't know pop into my discord go do that I'm only there when I have free time which sometimes is a lot, so if you want to, like, I don't know, pop it in my Discord, go do that. I'm only there when I have free time, which sometimes is a lot. Yeah, that's, you know, that's a good way to put it. I might have to use that one as well.

Anyway, as for me, you can find me on YouTube at Brodie Robertson. I've got my gaming channel, Brodie Robertson Plays. This podcast is available as an audio release. Basically, anywhere you can find audio podcasts. And a video release on YouTube and Odyssey. Also, my main channel is available on Odyssey as well. well um yeah i we are actually we're ending like three minutes early so uh you know i'll give you one one last extra topic just a fun short one okay okay so here you go

so this is a guy who lives like 10 minutes away from me um and he's just been in his underwear putting on a rock concert a rock concert in his driveway it's not public indecency it is his own property and if he's not violating noise ordinance which usually limits it at a certain time it's free to do so someone did apparently report him for like making too much noise but like it's the middle of the day when he does this so i don't know how he could possibly make that argument, but that's pretty cool and creative. Apparently the problem that someone has... Oh, he's been booked for indecent language.

You arseys, really? This guy's actually really good though. Like, a really good guitar player. I'll see if I can find a picture of him when he went to court. Because he actually did put clothes on for court.

Because his lawyer suggested it was a good idea. He was going to show up to court without clothes on. His lawyer's pretty smart, not going to lie. Oh, North Adelaide. Let's see if we can just look up North Adelaide underwear rocker um was arrested by police on June 13th

for allegedly failing to comply with an environmental protection order given to him the previous day which directed him not to perform for 72 hours here it is here's how he showed up to court. Glorious.

Here's the answer. They interviewed him for some local news channel and the reason he had for the police showing up is they probably had their their speed gun out and he was strumming too quickly and caught him going going over the speed limit i mean if he's staying on his property and like not messing with people and why well he's using too much electricity. No way.

Honestly, I'm surprised. Doing something good for his neighbors. I'm surprised they didn't try to book him for like holding a concert without a permit. Don't give them ideas. Yeah, no. It's, uh, yeah. Yeah. He's apparently already been arrested

for going to the supermarket in his underwear, though. Uh, for, like, a previous offence. So, I'm guessing they just already knew about this guy. Um. Shirt, no shoes, no service. Yeah, makes sense to me. Anyway, um, I think that's, makes sense to me. Anyway, um...

I think that's where we'll end it. Uh... This guy's got some pretty nice style. And he plays the guitar well. Also, he's got some... He's pretty ripped for someone in his age, so... Good on him. Looks pretty good for himself.

Um... Yeah, that should be pretty much everything then. Do you have anything else to say? Nothing other than subscribe. Cool, yeah, we can end it on that. Just subscribe, subscribe to me, subscribe to him. If this crazy rocker dude has a YouTube channel, I guess

subscribe to him as well, but I don't think he does. I don't think he knows what a computer is. Yeah. That should be everything then. So. I'm out.
