I would like to see some proper wireless competition against meta though

I think that quote will age the same as the 640KB of ram quote.

Even if transparent screens aren't out within 20 years, pixel densities high enough to make pass-through usable will 100% be.

really? i have one, its probably the easiest way to play vr considering you can just turn it on and use it

gaunt dagger
#

Yeah I wanted to play some best saber and so haven’t played in a while. Took me like 15 minutes to get into it. Had to create a new account and split my Facebook away from oculus, then had to update then had to pair my device to my new account then had to update beat Sabre and finally was able to play

#

Hopefully the bugs are mostly fixed but I doubt it. Whenever the Q2 came out the Q1 OS updates have gone downhill

#

I think as of right now hes probably right, but i think that number could go down to 10-20 years depending on the next next round of headsets. Feels to me like true AR is in its first gen with this round of Meta Pro and other high end headsets. I wanna see what both manufacturers and the community do next year or the following year when this stuff has been in peoples hands longer. Especially when we learn what we can strip from it to improve AR on older headsets through community support, if anything.

Listening to the wan show and hearing stuff about libraries. I helped start the MakerSpace program at the library I used to work at.

We ran programs on 3D printing robotics etc is great that they’re evolving into something even better.

damn, obese Lins confirmed

gleaming anvil
#

would linus be interested in info about an unprofessional treatment of one of his sponsors towards their customers?

#

i'm looking to buy a desk, and through one of his videos i saw his sponsors

#

and i order one from them, they send me the wrong one, and change their story like 5 times now,
one time they say i ordered something else, another they tell me they don't have what i ordered in stock so they shipped me something else, another they're like would you take a 55x20 desk, when i had ordered a 71x35 bamboo desk

#

i thought he would care seeing that's how i learned of them through LTT

#

i paid them 859$ for the desk btw

atomic bough
#

He quite likely would, I think a post on the forums or a YouTube comment would get his attention most likely. He's said before that he reads nearly all the comments.

#

ok i'm not on the LTT forums, but i'm on their minecraft forums,
ill setup an account and share a detailed story

but this is the summary above

They have mentioned in passing on a few of the episodes of wan that I've seen that they are unlikely to ever do Scrapyard Wars again, but I haven't heard the rationale? I personally love the Scrapyard Wars series and when I found them during the height of Covid I think I watched all of them back to back....

Also the production time for it on the backend is pretty massive

# harsh berry yeah, BMI is bullshit, and that's not me saying it because I'm obese

BMI has it's uses especially if you fall into the demographic for what it was developed from. Namely 20-40 year white males 5'8"-6'2". Outside of that it's not great and even in that the variation on skeletal and muscle mass can skew it significantly. As someone losing a significant amount of weight current it's a decent metric. I'm down From 400lbs to 234lbs in a year. BMI was 54 now 32. My BF% has dropped from 53% to 22%...now however the BMI calculator gets iffy for me because I'm starting to build a lot of muscle so the calculator will start to be less useful as I approach 200lbs. The calculator says I should be 175-180lbs but a healthy weight for my muscle and skeletal mass will be 195-205lbs

#

i tried to be as detailed as possible

#

basically they sent me a 72x30 desk, when i ordered a 35x71

#

and i have proof i bought the 35x71 with receipts and email confirmations from them

#

and they're being very shady and weird

YT premium just went up in price starting in November.

#

Probably has something to do with 4K getting stuffed behind the paywall.

It doesn't take effect til November 21, 2022. I wonder if this only effects those with family plans.

#

Been paying for it since it was called YouTube Red and Play Music Beta .. looks like they gave me more time

#

Although it is a bit more of a price hike for me ... I was only paying $14.99.

nimble kettle
#

Honestly, they should hike the price for new customers and grandfather current subscribers in at the current rate.

I doubt that'll happen. But the fact they are basically upcharging us to include 4K is a bit irritating.

The other scenario is they are NOT gonna paywall 4K and that just makes it more expensive for the people who already pay.

Either way, it's a pain in the wallet. If it were to go up further, I'd probably draw the line since I let my family mooch off my plan.

#

the family plan is kinda goated imo

#

oh they raised price

#

thats stupid

#

i was looking at it last week and the price was listed as 17.99

pre show time woo

soft steppe
#

youtube backstabbing him gave linus horrific spinal injuries

prime patrol
#

Would be nice if LTT would launch a stream reminder like an hour ahead of time so we could open the stream before it starts and not risk missing the beginning or having to constantly refresh.

soft steppe
#

it is scheduled for 8pm est

prime patrol
#

yes but stream reminders let you open the stream page.

prime patrol
#

it's not about figuring out the schedule it's about the youtube UI being more convenient for users.

prime patrol
# quartz wave <#472210112686325770> has a thing

a discord reminder is worlds different than the youtube reminder system. One is about being notified one is about being able to join before it starts. waiting for a ntoification you still can miss some of the show by having to navigate to the page.

tight mauve
#

is this the wan show, or the pre show currently?

quartz wave
#

the YT system may not work with how they have their restreaming setup

prime patrol
# quartz wave the YT system may not work with how they have their restreaming setup

ehh, in my experience stream reminders are separate completely from streams. when you set up a stream reminder it just creates the page for the stream before* it actually starts. then people join that and the display shows "stream scheduled for [countdown timer](which gets replaced by starting soon)" and that display gets replaced automattically when you start a stream from obs or any restreaming system. it's basically just reserving the landing page.

quartz wave
#

yea, I am aware how they work but yea they use their own custom restreamer so I was just saying there may be backend issues that we dont know limiting the use of it

prime patrol
#

i mean i used a custom restreamer too, it's still just streaming to your streamkey(otherwise it wouldn't work at all) the reminder system is just waiting for somethign to come in on that streamkey.

The one time I'm on time for WAN Show Linus isn't there lmao

He's not home.

He is probably on a trip for a video and there is an NDA

Business trip of some kind, or home emergency and he's home but not on his main setup

yt premium just is amazing for me since i watch most of my youtube on tv through google tv. i know luke said he never watches youtube on tv, so couldnt really go into how annoying it is to try and watch a video while you are cleaning the house only to be interrupted every few mins to skip an ad

Weird. I remember using teachers using their spit and towels to clean up their overheads lol

Oh yeah they did that too

#

I feel like they used the same markers they had for the white board but smaller

#

I think they math teachers like them because it was easier at the time then getting a pen input on a pdf or whatever the computer solution of the day was

#

And now they do that or they have a desk web cam

#

That started for me about high school witch was early 2010s

But I still would find old overheads (not really being used regularly if at all) poking around my college up till 2019🤷🏻‍♂️

Really sounds like Linus is personally in his experience a skeptic of school

tbh I've heard a variety of PhD people express similar things. It's important to learn things, and for some people school is the most structured way to do it (and/or for those people they won't learn without it), but there are many paths to learning

Honestly I've learnt more out of school. It's not for everyone. School also doesn't teach you important life skills and lessons which we need now more than ever.

Glad it helped! That question made me think about the time when I helped a friend spec out a PC that he was going to use exclusively for video editing around Black Friday 2020. He had previously been a Mac user, but we went with a PC due to cost. Unfortunately it was that same month that Apple had released the M1 Mac Mini, but before the seriously impressive performance of the M1 was widely known. Mac Mini would have been half the cost…
But at least he hasn’t had any issues with the PC to my knowledge.

I was about to buy the Eufy cameras for the apartment untill i heard about it on WAN show.

Someone in another server had talked about getting them a while back, letting them know about this now...

Literally had them in cart and figured they were good based on reviews

Oh shit LTT boycotting Anker.

#

Eufy is a subsidiary of Anker, they'll have to get some stuff in order to get this sorted out.

storm quarry
#

Why is LTT boycotting Anker? I missed the reason

tardy crystal
#

TLDR, Eufy, a subsidiary of Anker, is uploading pictures and video to the cloud, even though they say there isn't one and are even doing so when some users haven't even connected it to the internet, and said pictures are even still accessible when people have even deleted their account.

#

Nah. Four years at least.

drifting creek
#

I've seen takes, sometimes here on at least this discord where they states that no one over the age of 26 uses 'the internet' other than facebook.

then again it might just be the echo chamber that people choose for themselves.

I was reluctant to reveal i was over the age of 24 in some of these discords 😄

Lol. You're pretty close to my age with that number.

It's wild the takes some kids have though.
I'm pretty active in the dbrand server and we get some kids with real stupid ideas in there sometimes.

I used to post in there. mostly lurked for a bit.

#

But yeah at this point revealing yourself to be above a certain age in communities people start treating you like a mod, or mock you.

tardy crystal

Just a little ways back.

#

Oh yeah. Some mods in there are bullied for literally just what car they own.

gave out 3 10 foot cables and a compact charger last few years.

its a useful white elephant.

tardy crystal
#

Nah. I'll still probably get Anker cables. Not much else compares and the Eufy thing is a subsidiary, so it wasn't them directly.

In that sense I feel like it'd be not getting an iPhone for Beats collecting data.

probably time to get a new ipad. Might do M1 or m2.

#

If anything to use as a second screen.

tardy crystal
#

I got the Mini 6 as I didn't need/want anything too big anyways, but at the very least this has type C so I didn't have to use lightning. Just means Apple does stupid stuff with how it allows displays to work though.

Oh. just realized why it felt like I bought a lot more apple.

#

Cause im ususally invovled in buying it for other people 😄

#

Mentally i was like "I swear i bought a lot more iphones and macbooks and ipads."

It do be like that sometimes.

So anyway about that boycot. do we just not buy eufy and let it die on the vine?

Sadly, it's an Anker hub meant for MacBooks, but I have no Mac. So I just use it with one of the other extenders I did receive. Lol.

Stupid door bell subsitdary

I think I’m an outlier though I don’t use it but 90% of my generation dose

#

Witch reminds me I need to make a “hey I’m still alive and here’s what I’m doing” post for my friends. Sort of the 21st century Christmas card.

My cousins are in their 30s and all had kids in the last 3 years.

#

They dont use facebook except for their boomer family members

#

i got off FB 4-5 years ago and missed so much. i hate it

rocky wharf
#

Yeah people be having babies now what up with that?!?

drifting creek
#

biological clock ticking.

rocky wharf
#

My GF also did the Facebook purge too

drifting creek
#

i regret not forcing them to take those big trips.

#

now they're full on domesticated 😄

Linus in a past wan show as like "Link is closer to my sons age than mine"

shell zephyr
#

Did Linus address why some of the beanies are in the bonus bin now?

#

Just checking out & noticed that the blue, dark aqua, and light grey are there in addition to the regular stuff

#

I had a sad moment earlier making a “create your own athlete” for a sport game and I couldn’t set the birthday far back enough to be my age

drifting creek
#

what game

rocky wharf
#

Idk was a while ago I think this was mlb the show

drifting creek
#

Me: Makes fun of boomers.

#

Also me: Why dont games let me be my age.

rocky wharf
#

It do be like that

#

Do you think feudal lords used “trickle down” economics as an excuse when talking to serfs?

drifting creek
#

maybe in the terms of cesspools

rocky wharf
#

Lol

#

Man airpods are comfortable

rocky wharf
#

How do they compare to other ear buds?

#

Thinking about trying to get a pair this year I don’t typically like the pod style epically the kind that use rubber tip things

drifting creek
#

I have a 5 year old jabra x65t

#

they stick out more but i can sleep with them

#

less scratching, more polished.

#

i mostly got it because of the integrations with my new macbook

rocky wharf
#

Nice nice

drifting creek
#

i slept with the x65ts. wasnt pleasant but possible

#

just going to miss how discrete they are.

#

the battery only lasts 2-3 hours down from 6 the way they were.

rocky wharf
#

I have this thing for sleeping…

drifting creek
#

im going to be traveling a lot more so trying to optomise my kit.

rocky wharf
#

It’s like a headband with headphones inside it

drifting creek
#

was thinking of getting my dad one of those.

rocky wharf
#

Yeah it’s decent

#

Wireless charging can be a little finicky but not unreasonably so

#

And mine are old they could be better now

drifting creek
#

it always feels like we're a gen off from a pure usb-c system

rocky wharf
#

Oh yeah the wiring is micro if you go to charge it that way

drifting creek
#

ive always put off an upgrade to the next iphone/airpods because of the hope of usb-c

#

at least the new airpods takes both magsafe for watch AND phone. which is nuts.

rocky wharf
#

I feel that waiting for usb c feel

#

Rocking a iPhone 11 over

drifting creek
#

same. wish i got the pro and a 256 gb

rocky wharf
#

The model before they did MagSafe

drifting creek
#

i can get a case that makes it compatible with magsafe

rocky wharf
#

I did get the phablet so that was smart

drifting creek
#

I went on a trip with my folks earlier. equipped their entire car with magsafe.

rocky wharf
#

Oh case can make it mag safe intresting

drifting creek
#

When they took my phone when it was my turn to drive my family member tried several times to attach my iphone 11 to her magsafe mount.

rocky wharf
#

Lol

#

Yeah I had that too “why isn’t it working?!?”

#

Honestly this phone feels like it has lasted the longest of all my smart phones

#

Potentially dumb question but MagSafe can still work with “normal” qi chargers right?

drifting creek
#

yes

#

in fact you can buy rings to make it fit.

rocky wharf
#

Thanks looking into those cases you mentioned

drifting creek
#

But its not always supported to the power delivert syandards. those are called Magsafe compatible.

rocky wharf
#

👍

#

Just need wireless car play now

#

(Yes I know it’s starting to be a thing but my car doesn’t have it and converting looks to be expensive) edit: oh wait they seem to have gone down in price since I last looked

#

Oh yeah I guess the alignment magnets can cause issues with some “normal” qi chargers but luckly the ones I have seem to be fine

#

Well thanks for answering my random questions mate!

drifting creek
#

my 2000 Toyota corolla needs carplay

#

Its insane that this car is older than what feels like half of people on the internet at this point

rocky wharf
#

Lol

#

Hey if it runs and gets decent mpg that’s all you can ask for

#

But I hear yah on the car play, aftermarket upgrades aren’t too bad

#

Ah but looks like you have that old school single slot media center so might be tricky

#

Oh dang the aftermarket CarPlay has gotten way more interesting since I last looked.

#

You don’t need to get one that shoe horn into your existing stereo slot

drifting creek
#

Just wish the vents werent in th way.

keen bloom
drifting creek
#

theres a single din but the vents doesnt

keen bloom
#

if not you should go for the wireless carplay aftermarket headunits

#

there are headunits with din1 and pull out screens

rocky wharf
rocky wharf
#

Yeah single din

rocky wharf
#

What I was saying is you can even get ones that don’t even bother to try and fit into that slot

drifting creek
#

wouldnt be so bad if the vents were below it instead.

keen bloom
#

free screen cooling vents Oo

drifting creek
#

as it is the single din would block the vents

#

escept when its winter 😄

drifting creek
#

aux didnt start being a thing till what. 2010?

rocky wharf
#

Yeah maybe earlier

drifting creek
#

2008 it was rare.

#

but present.

rocky wharf
#

Yeah back then it was for your og iPod or zune

drifting creek
#

my 2011 honda fit had an aux in.

#

also imagine having to explain what a tape deck is.

rocky wharf
#

Yeah

#

Or “the save icon”

drifting creek
#

Tape decks are annoying. but they can make things work.

rocky wharf
#

I preferred tape to CD while driving

keen bloom
rocky wharf
#

CDs always seems to skip

rocky wharf
#

You know… it dose kinda look like a vending machine I can see it now
