126: Welcome to the Question Store

2022-03-06 · 1:05:28

00:00SPEAKERWe just burned quite literally like five cold opens we could have done almost a whole cold open episode with the number of cold opens

00:06SPEAKERWe just just just chatting granted at least two of them. I think we're not fit for public consumption

00:11SPEAKERLook, I don't want to ever hear about your feet again. That's fuck. Just said don't talk about

00:16SPEAKERLook, I could have been talking you could have been talking about something else the foot thing could have been a joke

00:20SPEAKERBut now it's out there

00:22SPEAKERWe have failed to follow my dictate from some months ago of hey

00:25SPEAKERWe should start recording the second we get on a call because we always have multiple cold open type

00:30SPEAKERConversations before we capture any of it. Look these things happen. Yeah, so something magical happened this morning for me Brad

00:37SPEAKEROh windows popped up and said hey, we tried to update last night, but we couldn't do you want to update now?

00:42SPEAKERAnd then I look I went to Google or I actually went to duck duck go and I typed in

00:47SPEAKERThe KB number for the cumulative update because in the windows update thing

00:51SPEAKERIt doesn't tell you what's actually in the update anymore, which is like the maybe the 17th most annoying thing about windows today

00:57SPEAKERUh-huh, but I clicked it. I typed it in I searched I found it it said

01:02SPEAKERSomething magical. Yes, when you connect a secondary monitor to your computer

01:07SPEAKERThe time and date will just be displayed on the taskbar of the secondary monitors away and you're excited about this. Oh my god

01:14SPEAKEROkay, so my main monitor is one that I play games on so when I'm playing games

01:18SPEAKERI don't have any way to tell the time in my office

01:22SPEAKEROkay, that's a I was just about I was all I was just like raring to go on a screed about why would you burn?

01:28SPEAKERReal estate on your second monitor with more taskbar when you already have a taskbar

01:32SPEAKERBut you just gave me a very good functional reason why you would do that. So I'm backing off

01:36SPEAKERIt's a 4k display. My main gaming monitor is a 1080p display and

01:40SPEAKERIt's like 50 pixels in the lower right hand corner of the screen. So fine fine. So I'm very excited. It's there

01:47SPEAKERIt seems to be accurate so far. Mm-hmm

01:50SPEAKERSo telling the same time as the one on the other monitor both monitors are telling the same time

01:53SPEAKEROkay, and it's synchronized with my phone. So I feel pretty confident great and I know that it's it's March 3rd also

01:59SPEAKERSo I got that going for me great. Well, hey, everybody's getting what they want. I also had a miss

02:04SPEAKERI made a mistake today too. Oh, well, hey, look you win some you lose some so remember the stickers

02:09SPEAKERWe talked about the bad stickers from from like the bad not licensed stickers that I was buying from the Internet to give to kids

02:15SPEAKERA few months ago. Yes to my daughter's friends. Just no, I'm not just going to rent. Hey kid. You want a sticker?

02:22SPEAKERYou're not wearing a trench coat in this scenario. Are you I know or do I drive a van?

02:25SPEAKERYou're not hanging out on the other side of the fence at the school playground

02:29SPEAKERNo, but so I'm gonna get my laptop out shake it so I can show you what I've done. Okay. Oh crap now

02:33SPEAKERI have to fill normally will is the one in the position to fill dead air. Please come back talk back. I'm back

02:40SPEAKEROkay, so I got a really sweet sticker of Bart Simpson dabbing

02:44SPEAKERthat is extremely not licensed credit a hundred percent cuz he's also wearing like a like a

02:50SPEAKERCamouflage hoodie and some licensed sneakers that are also not licensed. I'm sure better that he's dabbing than peeing at least

02:57SPEAKERLook, it's a six of one. So so are there peeing Bart's or just peeing Calvin's I think Calvin is traditionally the one who pees. Yeah

03:06SPEAKERRight about that

03:07SPEAKERSo the thing is I put a friend of mine's

03:10SPEAKERScully on here. Mike Mike Mike Mitchell's an artist who I like his work and

03:15SPEAKERHe's like follow the Scully's falling, but I forgot that when I put the Scully on he's falling

03:20SPEAKERHe looks like he's tumbling it

03:21SPEAKERSo now Bart Simpson is dabbing upside down when the laptop is facing right side up and it took something that was very stupid

03:28SPEAKERAnd made it bad. So I'm gonna have to peel the Bart Simpson dabbing sticker off

03:31SPEAKERI think and I'm pretty upset by this because I mean I'll never be able to find another one of those

03:35SPEAKERIt's a one once in a lifetime find like if history is taught us anything. There are more Bart's where that came from

03:40SPEAKERLook, I bought the same set of stickers four times trying to get the one of

03:45SPEAKERof Tom Nook smoking a joint

03:47SPEAKERBut I got in one of the ones that might got for my daughter last year and that I haven't been will find one

03:53SPEAKERIn all of the packs, so in my mental image

03:56SPEAKERShe is also wearing a like a tropical Hawaiian shirt with weed with cannabis leaves all over like the Nook leaves are all weed leaves

04:03SPEAKERInstead of the leaves. Okay now I need this too. Thanks a lot. You're welcome

04:33SPEAKERYou

04:36SPEAKERWelcome to Brad and will made a tech pod. I'm will I'm Brad. Hello. Hello

04:42SPEAKERDo you know what time it is Brad? What time is it?

04:44SPEAKERIt's the most magical time of next month's the most wonderful time of next month

04:50SPEAKERYeah, so last week we had an opportunity to have our friends West Van and Norman channel to talk about the upcoming steam deck

04:56SPEAKERBy the way, wait, if you if you have coming I think it's out right? Well, okay was upcoming at the time. Yes. Okay. Sorry

05:03SPEAKERBut if you have a q1 steam deck order, I would strongly encourage you to just cancel that thing

05:10SPEAKERWow, why do you save because I have a q2 steam deck order and I figure if enough people cancel in front of me

05:17SPEAKERI'll get a q1 steam deck order

05:18SPEAKEROh

05:19SPEAKERI thought I was I was taking you at your word and assumed that you had found some reason since these things have shipped to

05:24SPEAKERMaybe not recommend them anymore. Yeah

05:27SPEAKERThey're in front of me in the line. Oh

05:30SPEAKERBoy, did you see?

05:33SPEAKERGosh, there's both. Well, we have an episode to do I shouldn't digress too much

05:36SPEAKERBut two things the the Gabe Newell as Santa Claus bit he's done that before has he? Yeah, he did that with

05:44SPEAKERIndexes, I think okay something I don't know something about doing it with the steam deck though

05:48SPEAKERLike that is such a coveted item

05:49SPEAKERI mean indexes were pretty desired when they came out to also the index is like what two to three times the cost of a

05:55SPEAKERDeck. Yeah, I mean the index was

05:58SPEAKER1,000 bucks. I think right is this like starter package that is roughly two and a half steam decks twice

06:05SPEAKERYeah, I mean I it feels like people are people pre-ordered the $500 steam deck

06:09SPEAKERBut maybe they made a mistake. I pre-ordered the mid-range one

06:12SPEAKEROr I didn't pre-order I put my five dollars down and I feel like maybe I made a mistake on that

06:18SPEAKERAlso, maybe those guys didn't know about this at the time

06:21SPEAKERWe talked to them which was a few days before release but they put out a frickin new portal game alongside that thing

06:26SPEAKERWhich huh? Yeah, it's you can play it on a gamepad

06:30SPEAKERYeah

06:30SPEAKERI was thinking about just committing a crime and

06:33SPEAKERDownloading it and playing it not on a steam deck what I gotta say the hand lab thing that they made for the for the index

06:41SPEAKERwas one of the one of the

06:44SPEAKERLike it was the thing that when they built when they built something that's custom for a new piece of hardware

06:48SPEAKERIt usually does a pretty good job of showcasing what you can actually do with the hardware. Oh, yeah, it's like usually neat well done

06:53SPEAKERI didn't know they did more lab for the index to they bolt that onto the lab the original release or is that a separate?

06:59SPEAKERDownload so the hand lab is a separate thing and it's mostly finger stuff because you know has the finger tracking with the grippy

07:05SPEAKERYeah, I didn't know if they like patched that into the lab or if can't I can't I think it's its own thing

07:10SPEAKERI can't remember I can look how quick I have fond memories of the lab

07:13SPEAKERThe lab is great like that the the personality sphere catapult minigame thing top shelf fantastic stuff

07:21SPEAKERSo the lab and aperture hand lab are two separate products. Okay. Well, there you go

07:26SPEAKERAperture hand lab. I don't remember. I just remember liking. Oh the aperture hand lab has like this this moon thing

07:31SPEAKERThere's like a like you're you're controlling a car on the moon or something. It's pretty good. I

07:38SPEAKERWould say yeah much much like most of Val's products pretty good. Yeah, it turns out they're good at making video games over there

07:44SPEAKERSteam deck in stores now. No, it's not well

07:47SPEAKERAsterisk. Yes, but you know what are in stores? This is an incredibly long roundabout way of me saying

07:55SPEAKERHey last week, we were supposed to do a Q&A episode where we turn questions into answers

08:00SPEAKERBut we didn't because Norman West came on to talk about the steam deck which was timely

08:04SPEAKERYes, this week the first of March first week of March, which I can't believe is already upon us

08:10SPEAKERWe're gonna talk about questions and we're gonna make them into answers. That's right steam

08:14SPEAKERThe steam deck was timely but questions are eternal. It's it's so true. So true questions exist in all frames

08:21SPEAKERWelcome to the question store. So for people who have questions, they can send them in via electronic mail or email

08:28SPEAKERYes to tech pod at content town. I have I have a question. Yes, I

08:35SPEAKERShouldn't say this out loud. Did you not look at the email? Did you check did you check the inbox? I checked occasionally

08:41SPEAKERDid you check it before this episode? I'm gonna tell you a secret about the inbox mostly

08:47SPEAKERIt's like 90% people soliciting us mattress ads on the podcast. Yes. Yes

08:52SPEAKERIt is or offering some kind of like market research or analytics service to us. Yep. There's a there's a

08:59SPEAKERThere's one

09:00SPEAKERLike newsletter that we get that's about weird mathematical facts that I quite enjoy

09:05SPEAKERIt's like mathematician stuff, but I'm it's like we're not gonna put on the podcast cuz it's not this isn't a math podcast

09:11SPEAKERUm, but it could be and we do have a question from Steve Smith right here that came in eight days ago

09:16SPEAKERHe says oh, hey Brad and will I grew up an avid PC gamer in their early 90s and early 2000s playing mostly FPS titles

09:23SPEAKERLike doom Wolfenstein quake, etc. I

09:26SPEAKERAlso enjoy some Diablo 3 and city skylines

09:28SPEAKERBut I've yet to resort to playing these on my 2017 iMac my work machine as I don't have a PC anymore

09:33SPEAKERI have to resort to playing these

09:35SPEAKERI've only have a few consoles over the year, but nothing more recent than a ps3 which is now basically just a blu-ray player

09:40SPEAKERI'm being asked if I want to join it with some friends who play Fortnite

09:43SPEAKERSo I am wondering if I should look into a console sadly

09:46SPEAKERThe budget won't stretch to current gen and I would be looking for something used

09:51SPEAKERI'm looking at either a ps4 or the Xbox one X one terabyte model, which seems to be about affordable secondhand

09:56SPEAKERI also like the idea of keeping the blu-ray capability and at least future-proofing a little bit with 4k would be nice

10:01SPEAKERThat being said it switches in a heck of a lot more and I wonder if I might get more use of it when my nearly

10:06SPEAKERThree-year-old daughter is a little older. Yeah

10:09SPEAKERSteve from the UK

10:11SPEAKERMmm, congratulations to see if apparently if you're the only person who sends a question to the email address you get it read on the

10:16SPEAKERshow guaranteed

10:19SPEAKERWe got a couple more but that was the good one

10:21SPEAKERYeah, I I would say the switch is probably the right thing to get but playing fortnight on the switch isn't

10:28SPEAKERGreat in my experience. Okay. I have not tried it, but I would not be surprised to hear it's not a great experience

10:33SPEAKERSo I would have said a year ago. The switch was definitely a good buy at this point

10:37SPEAKERLike that thing is showing its age. There's a lot of really good indie games on the search though. You're not wrong

10:42SPEAKERThere's a ton of stuff that is still

10:44SPEAKERYou know that runs just fine

10:46SPEAKERbut like the public narrative about the switch has really turned in the last year and change in terms of it being like way overdue for

10:53SPEAKERAn update honestly, if the steam deck if you could buy a steam deck, I might have recommended. Hey

10:58SPEAKERJust get a steam deck. Yeah, that's

11:01SPEAKERAbout fortnight runs really well on a steam deck. No, it doesn't at all unless you install windows

11:05SPEAKERWell, I mean, yes, you have to obviously you're not gonna get it on steam

11:08SPEAKERBut I mean like in terms of the hardware in there. Yeah, whatever that APU is in there

11:13SPEAKERI bet cuz fortnight is not that demanding

11:15SPEAKERI think if I were buying a used console from the last generation, I'd look for a 1s probably

11:22SPEAKERReally? Yeah, cuz he said he wanted 4k discs, which is which means 1s or ps4

11:29SPEAKERYes, one X will do

11:32SPEAKERMy next does one X does UHD I don't think I think I think for what a 1x cost you can probably get a

11:38SPEAKERS a series s. Oh, you might be right

11:42SPEAKERYes, yeah, that's a tough one

11:44SPEAKERThat's a tough one with availability being what it is right now and like use prices being so high

11:49SPEAKERThat's actually a hard question to answer. Well, the series s is what 300 bucks new

11:54SPEAKERYes, that's a pretty good deal. No, that's great. It's just in this case

11:58SPEAKERIt sounds like that not the lack of a drive disk drive is disqualifier for him. Yeah

12:04SPEAKERIt's a 1x or ps4 Pro if you can get them cheap enough either one is fine

12:08SPEAKERI'd probably lean ps4 Pro for the exclusives there

12:13SPEAKERYeah, I would agree with that if I had to choose like 1s are selling on eBay

12:18SPEAKERWhich is probably not the right place to look for two hundred and fifty bucks. Oh, yeah, they're not

12:23SPEAKERAlthough it's a series s. Sorry. Oh, okay a 1s is selling for 120 bucks. Oh, that's not so bad

12:28SPEAKERThat's like that's the right. What is the 1x or ps4 Pro?

12:31SPEAKERWell, I mean, I'll look why would I type those in when I can just ask I mean look I'm already there a

12:38SPEAKERXbox 1x black 1 terabyte. Oh, that's the one he's talking about the 1 terabyte version. It's 300 and 280 bucks buy it now used

12:46SPEAKERMmm, that's like I would pay for 10 bucks more. I would buy a series s and not have a disc

12:51SPEAKERYeah, if you can live without the blu-ray drive

12:53SPEAKERThat's a tough sell to go 1x. I think over series s

12:58SPEAKERYeah, this is gonna give you a significantly. It's gonna be quieter one. Oh, yeah. Well, actually the 1x is very quiet to be clear

13:05SPEAKERI never had a 1x. I didn't I didn't pony up for one 1x was the first one

13:09SPEAKERThey put out where they were like, oh, we know

13:11SPEAKERNo, no, I take that back. The launch Xbox one is very quiet as well

13:14SPEAKERNo, it is a no because the launch Xbox one has a big giant power brick that sits underneath the thing that makes a shitload

13:19SPEAKEROf noise. Okay, and I never sat close enough to hear that. Yeah, but yeah consoles. Yeah the old consoles, especially

13:26SPEAKERHow about a question from wildfire?

13:30SPEAKEROkay, just going straight to starting with the showstopper here serious questions here. Huh?

13:37SPEAKERThese are all from the discord

13:39SPEAKERWildfire asks if you're eating a meal say a piece of chicken and you get some stuck in your teeth

13:45SPEAKERI'm so confused by this question. Do you eat that piece that was stuck?

13:49SPEAKERYeah, of course

13:50SPEAKERIt goes straight you saw you right get tongue it out and then you swallow it without thinking about it

13:54SPEAKERI feel like even referring to it as a separate piece and not just like a vestige of the original piece of chicken

14:00SPEAKERLike I don't understand the distinction follow-up question if you find a piece of chicken stuck in your teeth two to three hours later

14:06SPEAKERDo you still eat it? This is gross. I don't know that I want to answer this question anymore

14:11SPEAKEROkay, I'm embarrassed by my answer Brad. I yes the answer is yes

14:16SPEAKERYeah, it gets straight down the hatch absent and absent mindedly just like I didn't I didn't know there was another course of action there

14:24SPEAKERIt's it's gross to think about when you put it this way, but yes kind yes

14:28SPEAKERI don't disagree but but also the alternative like it might what am I gonna do spit it out?

14:32SPEAKERNo, right, like maybe if you're in a like toothpick and napkin kind of situation

14:37SPEAKERYou could like discreetly dispose of it

14:38SPEAKERBut like often do you find yourself in a toothpick and napkin situation these days?

14:42SPEAKERSo the thing is it's already been in your mouth for the entire duration

14:45SPEAKERLike yeah, what are you solving by getting rid of it at that point?

14:48SPEAKERLike your mouth is already contaminated by whatever it is. We're worried about here. It's it's one continuous

14:54SPEAKERChew at that point as far as I'm concerned. Yes. Yes. It's just been slowly you've been chemically breaking it down

14:59SPEAKERIt's normally on these kinds of questions

15:00SPEAKERI try to devil's advocate this but I can't come up with a reason like if I'm Sam sitting Sam sit at my desk

15:05SPEAKERI've been working all morning and I'm like, oh, hmm. There's a little bit of English muffin in the in the pit there

15:11SPEAKERI mean now now this is getting okay mouth that out mouth

15:15SPEAKERGet up and walk into the kitchen and spit it into the sink now sounds for where I draw the line

15:19SPEAKERWe've made our positions clear. Look, this is wildfires fault. They brought this on us. I suppose that's true

15:26SPEAKEROkay, how about?

15:29SPEAKERParallax 55 here's an actual question. I mean the last one was a question to you but this one is less gross

15:36SPEAKERWhen it comes to repairing or replacing large-ticket items, what is your break-even point?

15:41SPEAKERFor instance, if you have a washing machine that will require a repair that costs 50% of a new machine

15:46SPEAKERYou consider getting a new one understanding that the old machine will probably begin to have more and more problems as it continues to age

15:53SPEAKEROh, this is a good question. So yeah, this is a tough one. This is a heady

15:58SPEAKERYou know, I feel about replacing things that are still performing their function. Well, okay

16:03SPEAKERSo there's there's a bunch of there's it's more complicated than parallax 55 is making this out to be at least for me

16:09SPEAKERBecause there's there's for example when my hot water heater died

16:14SPEAKERWe had a 10 year old one 10 years is pretty much the outer limit on

16:18SPEAKERHot water heaters right you'd like 10 if you make it to 15 years on the hot water heater

16:22SPEAKERYou've done pretty well, especially if you're doing dealing with the gas

16:26SPEAKERBut the problem with the hot water here is the cost of buying the hot water heater is usually about the same as the cost of

16:31SPEAKERinstalling the hot water heater and

16:34SPEAKERThere's the pain in the ass of not having hot water during the time when it's broken

16:39SPEAKERBefore you get the new one in which is usually in the Bay Area like seven to ten days. Oh

16:44SPEAKERNot having hot water for seven days. It turns out pretty substantial substantial life impact. Oh for sure. Yes

16:51SPEAKERso

16:53SPEAKERThe first time the hot water heater conked out I replaced it with a new one and it cost

16:58SPEAKER$1,500 three grand something like that all in

17:02SPEAKERThe second time

17:04SPEAKERWhen that hot water heater turned out to be a dud and I had to like call whirlpool or whoever made it

17:09SPEAKERI think was whirlpool maytag and

17:11SPEAKERComplained for weeks on end to get them to actually do a warranty repair on what was clearly a manufacturing defect

17:17SPEAKERthey had run a wire with under the heating element so that the wire shorted out like the insulation eventually burned off the wire and

17:23SPEAKERIt shorted out and it prevented the thermostat from tripping and ever turning on

17:28SPEAKERI

17:29SPEAKERShould have the amount of time I spent on that. I should have just bought a new one and had it installed

17:34SPEAKERbut it became kind of a it became kind of a thing in my head at that point your

17:41SPEAKERPursuing that repair on principle. Yes, they have wronged you at that point. Now. The other thing is like a washing

17:48SPEAKERdishwasher is a good example of this right like if

17:51SPEAKERReplacing it is going to be a net savings in terms of like water or energy use or something like that

17:56SPEAKERThat's an easy like if you have a 20 year old dishwasher and it conks out

17:59SPEAKERYou should take that thing to the dump huck it off into the just get rid of it

18:03SPEAKERGive it to the scrap metal people

18:05SPEAKERBecause the new one is gonna use a lot less electricity and a lot less water and probably not even hot water

18:10SPEAKERAnd it'll do a lot better

18:14SPEAKERAlso fixing dishwashers is maybe the worst thing I've ever successfully done

18:18SPEAKERYes, like it it they're awful to work on. Yeah, we've we've been over that

18:23SPEAKERIncidentally, we still don't have a working dishwasher in this apartment

18:27SPEAKERYou should not be paying rent until you actually at this point

18:30SPEAKERWhat you should do is go and buy a dishwasher have it installed and then just take that off of your next month's rent

18:34SPEAKERIt's tempting. It's tempting like but no one is gonna fault you for that except for your landlord who you have to continue dealing with

18:41SPEAKERAnd there's other complications. That's that's the thing. What if you know, maybe maybe a rent increase

18:47SPEAKEROccurs somewhere just a few months down the line if I were to do something like then you take your dishwasher with you

18:53SPEAKERMmm, but but I mean the thing is he's like if if you're paying for water and electricity or they're paying for water and electricity

19:01SPEAKERThen like putting a new dishwasher and will be a break-even sooner rather than later as your dishwasher is

19:07SPEAKERThey're paying what he pays water. He does not my god. I wish he paid electricity around here

19:11SPEAKERYeah, if you pay electricity, you'd be running a server farm in there. Oh, yeah - Bitcoin

19:16SPEAKEREverything stays on

19:21SPEAKERBrad's got air-conditioning in 15 racks of Bitcoin miners in the office

19:26SPEAKERI

19:27SPEAKERDoes it really take that long to get a new hot water heater? So like speaking of my landlord

19:31SPEAKERIt takes a long time to install because you got to get gas like it has to be a gas plumber if you have a gas

19:36SPEAKERHot water heater and they're in high demand. Usually so two winters ago, maybe three winters ago. I in this building

19:42SPEAKERI mean he was like kind of he's not the worst landlord

19:45SPEAKERI've ever had but he is can be a bit crotchety about fixing things on occasion

19:51SPEAKERI was the one in this building. There's like five six units in this building

19:55SPEAKERI was the one in the building to discover that the hot water heater had died in the middle of December

20:01SPEAKERAlways dies in the summer in the winter. It never dies in the summer by getting in the shower and it being ice-freaking-cold

20:06SPEAKEROh my god, this was like kind of mid-morning

20:10SPEAKERHe had a new hot water heater installed and like working by that evening, but it's like a this is a building scale hot water

20:17SPEAKERHere, right? Oh, is that like a commercial thing? We're just like commercial solutions are just available

20:21SPEAKERKind of like you're paying commercial prices you get commercial service

20:24SPEAKERI see when you go to Lowe's and you're like, hey, I want to hold on here and they're like, well, we'll schedule

20:28SPEAKERYeah, and when I see you get it done as you get paid rush and get it in ten days or otherwise

20:33SPEAKERIt'll be the end of the month

20:36SPEAKERIt's not great I you know what I've never had the opportunity to buy my own hot water heater and I'm very jealous

20:41SPEAKERI'm gonna go no I look I'm gonna tell you this in a world where theoretically you think this sounds fun. I

20:48SPEAKERGot I went into the hot water here to purchase. I was like, oh man, we get one of those demand hot water here

20:52SPEAKERIt's gonna be great and I talked to the guy and he was like you look you're gonna have to replumb the vent for the hot

20:57SPEAKERWater here if you do that because they have to be rated for higher temperatures than the normal ones and all this other stuff

21:02SPEAKERI was like, okay, just give me the give me look I want one that's big enough

21:05SPEAKERI never have to run out of hot water here again. It's like how big is your house a thousand square feet?

21:09SPEAKEROkay, you need like a 400 gallon. I was like, okay. I want an 800 gallon one

21:13SPEAKERSo or 80 whatever it is we we got double what they said to get

21:18SPEAKERAmerica. Hey, that's a lot of hot water. I mean counterpoint

21:21SPEAKERDo you know how many hot water heaters I could buy with the money that I have?

21:25SPEAKERPoured down the drain and rent over the last two decades

21:28SPEAKERI'm gonna look there are pros and cons to this

21:31SPEAKERThe pro is that when your hot water heater died you called somebody was like, hey

21:34SPEAKERI need a hot water heater and since he lives in the same building as you he was

21:39SPEAKEREnthusiastic about fixing the problem that was that was the point that I forgot to make is that yes

21:42SPEAKERBecause he also relies on that hot water boy. Did he have that thing replaced quickly?

21:46SPEAKERYeah, if you guys were sharing a dishwasher you would have had it fixed months ago. Yes for sure

21:52SPEAKERSeems like a good time to read this question. It's a segue. Ooh, I like a nice segue from from Chip Shirley

22:02SPEAKERWhat's it like being a mildly public figure and having people online discuss your life interests relationships, etc

22:08SPEAKERHow do you deal with it? I try not to think about it too much. Yes

22:11SPEAKERI deal with it by not dealing with it. Like it's it's awful. It's the

22:15SPEAKERAnd I don't want to sit here and complain about like we're very fortunate that anyone wants to listen to what we have to say

22:21SPEAKERTo be clear but like like just just to be clear like I don't I don't ever mind

22:27SPEAKERLike if I'm in a situation where I know I'm gonna be someplace that I'm like recognizable

22:32SPEAKERI think the nice thing about our level of notoriety I guess is that like I can go to the grocery store and nobody recognizes

22:38SPEAKEROh, I'm right. Yeah, I'm not worried about that

22:40SPEAKERIn fact, like I've run into people on the bus not that many times not like I get recognized all the time

22:44SPEAKERbut like like the

22:46SPEAKERHandful of times over the years that's happened like the people who would introduce themselves or the nicest people like I have no problem that

22:52SPEAKERspecifically what he is asking though is

22:54SPEAKERHaving people I'm gonna read again from the question Oh having people online and discuss your life interests relationships, etc

23:00SPEAKERLike that's a different phenomenon entirely

23:02SPEAKERYeah, that's the one the reason that I bring this up about the apartment is like I've come across

23:08SPEAKERDiscussions before this is very this is here's a very benign example. That's still completely bizarre

23:14SPEAKERlike you'll see things like I've seen people say like Oprah's never gonna move out of the San Francisco apartment like he's got rent control and

23:20SPEAKERFiber there. Why would he ever leave? I

23:22SPEAKERSuper do not have rent control. Yeah. No, like our rent has nearly doubled in the last two things since 20

23:28SPEAKERIt was when the market rebounded it was around the time the real estate real estate market

23:32SPEAKERYeah, it started really rebounding in 2013 2014. Like our rent is almost double what it was then

23:36SPEAKERLike I super don't have rent control just like seeing people

23:41SPEAKERWith absolute certainty proclaim things about you that are completely untrue is just strangest experience

23:46SPEAKERthe the good example of this being weird is always like then this happened to you guys a giant bomb - but like

23:53SPEAKERThe the oh my god will is so pissed off at Norm. Oh

23:58SPEAKERNorm is so pissed off at will like the YouTube comments about us being pissed off at each other hating secretly hating each other are

24:06SPEAKERwere

24:07SPEAKERhilarious because like I

24:10SPEAKERMean look I

24:12SPEAKEReverybody has days at work that are hard days and everybody has easy days and sometimes you come in and you like didn't sleep very

24:18SPEAKERMuch the last night. So you had a brand new baby or something and you're like, I look I don't do

24:22SPEAKERI want to be right sitting on camera talking about a fucking phone for the next hour and a half

24:26SPEAKERNo, but it's my job and it's I'm here to do it. I'm gonna do a good job

24:29SPEAKERbut like, you know, like there's

24:32SPEAKERSome of that bleeds in and people assume

24:35SPEAKERPeople who want I guess more drama in their lives for some reason assume that that means that everybody's pissed off at each other all

24:41SPEAKERThe time and those those were the weird ones for me for sure. It's like have you ever had co-workers?

24:45SPEAKERYou know, this works like sometimes you get into irked by your co-workers, right?

24:48SPEAKERLike like I really like all the people like I've never really worked with people I didn't like

24:54SPEAKERbut like, you know, I guess there's always exceptions but like

24:58SPEAKEREven if you don't like particularly like somebody you still like are able to work with them in a professional context. Yeah

25:05SPEAKERI don't know that it's always thought that was really weird. Yes. There's a lot of that stuff. Anyway, whatever

25:10SPEAKERIt's it's a very minor aspect of you know, like we are in a pretty privileged position all told

25:16SPEAKERI think yeah, the other thing is I try not to talk about like I talk about my partner, but that's just because

25:21SPEAKERShe she's we've been talking about her for a long time and I try not to talk about my daughter and stuff like that

25:27SPEAKERAnd yes

25:28SPEAKERYeah

25:28SPEAKERI also I try to I mean I tried I tried to protect the privacy of all the people in my personal life because it's

25:34SPEAKERTheir privacy not mine, right? Yeah, like it's it's that's that's the thing

25:37SPEAKERit's like they didn't choose this life like I'm not gonna drag them into the public eye in any fashion because

25:42SPEAKERThey didn't ask for that. Yep. Okay. Let's see here. How about

25:47SPEAKERI gotta get better at picking questions while I'm also talking. I got one

25:52SPEAKEROkay, go ahead

25:54SPEAKERI'm over am I overstepping? No my breaking protocol. Well, I absolutely know I bought you some time

25:58SPEAKERYou could have had one by now. I've got like three now actually, but okay, we'll go

26:03SPEAKEROkay

26:04SPEAKERbone tail

26:05SPEAKERBrad hates well, he's so pissed

26:09SPEAKERYou've written in all red here. Do you know the answer to this?

26:12SPEAKERYeah, why do some things get installed in the program files and some other things get installed in the program files x86

26:19SPEAKERAnd what's the difference? Anyway, I don't like having to remember what's in which so I went and did some read

26:25SPEAKERWell, okay. There's there's the answer that they gave us when they started making

26:29SPEAKER64-bit windows, which I guess was like Longhorn time mmm Vista time. I guess I think gosh

26:36SPEAKERThere was a there was a fix it

26:37SPEAKERThere was an x64 version of Windows XP, but it wasn't particularly compatible with things like hard

26:42SPEAKERYeah, I was like hard to get your hands on

26:43SPEAKERI think this it was the first one that shipped with 64-bit in the box

26:46SPEAKERYou could choose whether you installed 64-bit or 32-bit with Vista certain versions of Vista anyway

26:52SPEAKERSo the official answer from back then is we want people to be able to install the 32 and 64-bit versions of applications

26:59SPEAKEROn the same computer. So the 64-bit stuff gets installed to program files

27:03SPEAKERThe 32-bit gets installed to program files x86 now over the last 10 years

27:08SPEAKERThat has all gone completely out the window because there's a horrible mishmash of like your steam folder

27:14SPEAKERFor example lives in program files x86 because steam is a 32-bit app

27:18SPEAKERBut also it contains a whole shitload probably the highest density of 64-bit apps on your computer because most video games in

27:26SPEAKER2022 are 64-bit apps. So

27:30SPEAKERand and also nobody is running both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Photoshop or their browser or like I

27:38SPEAKERLiterally think this is because of browser plugins

27:41SPEAKERBecause in the in at that time period you had to install if you installed the 64-bit version of the browser

27:46SPEAKERYou didn't have any plugins because nobody had compiled flash in 64-bit

27:50SPEAKERLiterally something that doesn't matter at all anymore since all of the browser extensions are just rendered in in the browser

27:56SPEAKERso

27:58SPEAKERyeah, that's that's my understanding the official Microsoft answer as of

28:03SPEAKER2021 which was the answers.microsoft.com post I found said

28:09SPEAKERJust let the installer install it where you want. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Yes

28:14SPEAKERThat's kind of my general answer for stuff like this at this point

28:16SPEAKERHe says or they say and I don't like having to remember what's in which like I don't really

28:20SPEAKERDo that at this point

28:22SPEAKERI just pretty much just install everything to default locations at this point and just forget about it

28:26SPEAKEREmbrace the defaults except for portable apps. You've got me on the portable app train

28:30SPEAKERI have a folder in my documents folder that's called portable apps. Hell, yeah

28:33SPEAKERSee the next time you install a fresh copy of Windows

28:36SPEAKERYou just copy that folder over whole hog and you're good to go. My notepad plus plus install will be right there

28:41SPEAKERYeah, I'd pretty much treat the C drive in Windows like not

28:45SPEAKERNot hands-off in a way like I can't touch it

28:47SPEAKERBut like I don't touch it

28:48SPEAKERYou know any actual file storage like files that I'm manipulating frequently go on a different drive at this point

28:54SPEAKERoh, let's see I use my documents folder or or

28:57SPEAKERWell, yeah home folder is the exception there cuz like, you know files on your desktop are there and that sort of thing

29:01SPEAKERLike well, I guess what I mean is at the root like I'm not yeah

29:05SPEAKERI'm not I'm not making directories at the root of C anymore and doing anything with them. Oh god

29:09SPEAKERNo, don't work on the root of C ever. Yeah, that's that's what I mean

29:12SPEAKERIn fact, I get annoyed when like Nvidia drivers used to unzip to the root of C

29:16SPEAKERThey don't do that anymore

29:17SPEAKERbut sure I did have to put one of the nurse off utilities at the root there because of the way I was doing some

29:22SPEAKERIt's not worth getting into some automation. No needed. Yeah, that's a no it was running

29:27SPEAKERI forget what it was. There was a permissions issue. Like I couldn't run it out of my home folder, which I

29:32SPEAKERNormally would have otherwise done with portable apps

29:35SPEAKERYou have a do you look lost right now? What is it going on here? Well, I was thinking about I

29:42SPEAKERWas thinking about why I don't write anything on the C run the root of the C drive anymore

29:47SPEAKERand I think it's just because the general

29:51SPEAKERlike I keep

29:53SPEAKERStuff that's like temporary and documents

29:56SPEAKERI keep stuff for work in my in my work OneDrive folder

29:59SPEAKERAnd then I keep stuff for like tech pod and twitch and all the other stuff in my Dropbox folder

30:05SPEAKERSo I try not to use anything that I'm gonna want to keep

30:08SPEAKERLong-term in a place that it doesn't automatically end up on some cloud storage thing someplace

30:13SPEAKERWhich which it turned it's like it served me pretty well because when I had to reinstall when I reinstall or whatever

30:18SPEAKERLike I just reconnected to the appropriate services and things just work

30:21SPEAKEROh god, you just made me realize that my Windows system drive is a single point of failure

30:27SPEAKERLook, you know, but you back up that machine. So you're fine. Oh what I probably should you should back that up to the NAS

30:34SPEAKERWhy are you not backing up? Probably should Oh sweet mother Brad

30:38SPEAKERI've thought about um, I thought about going all the way and moving all of my like my desktop

30:43SPEAKERor my home basically my entire home folder in Windows to the NAS but that don't do that seems like asking for trouble you like

30:49SPEAKERit like the feel that like

30:53SPEAKERThey're so so I did a lot of experiments with this at maximum PC because I tried to get it for years

30:58SPEAKERTo get the shared login thing to work outside of an active directory domain

31:02SPEAKERIt's a it's a complete train wreck for people who do things that aren't like business applications

31:08SPEAKERBecause like games expect to be able to write at certain speeds and stuff like that

31:11SPEAKERIt's it's not it like you have the high-speed connection. I

31:15SPEAKERGuarantee you you'll have weird shit happen when a game tries to save at some point

31:18SPEAKERI don't mean the whole I don't mean the whole system tribe. I just mean like basically my home folder

31:22SPEAKERjust just like files just

31:24SPEAKERBut you mean like C colon users slash your username

31:28SPEAKERYeah, there shouldn't be any games running out of there's a ton of stuff because your app data folder lives

31:32SPEAKEROh, you're talking about save games and stuff like yeah, it lives in there. You're not folder lives in there all that

31:37SPEAKERDon't don't do that. It's a bad idea. Okay, or you know, I didn't actually mean it strictly in that sense

31:41SPEAKERLike it would probably I would piecemeal put like desktop documents like you name it like it's again

31:48SPEAKERThe file containing home folder directories the number of bad applications that hard code that stuff in

31:56SPEAKERYou you will find like I did sim links. I did the whole thing. It's a it's a it doesn't it's just made

32:01SPEAKERYeah, that's that's that's a reason

32:03SPEAKERI've never done it

32:04SPEAKERThe other reason is if my mass is off or under maintenance or something for some reason like not being able to use my PC

32:09SPEAKERAt all would really suck. Yeah, well, you have to have a second profile that has a different login

32:13SPEAKERthat doesn't it's just you're just getting into like a

32:17SPEAKERCascading failure point should add I should just figure out how to back this thing up

32:22SPEAKEROccasionally just put our sink on it. I'll think about it. There are options. Yes

32:27SPEAKEROkay

32:29SPEAKERSketchy reasoning since crosswords have been mentioned recently as will ever tried a cryptic crossword

32:34SPEAKERI only recently found out they weren't ubiquitous under maybe a particularly British thing

32:39SPEAKEROur cryptic cryptics are the ones that they don't have the black squares

32:43SPEAKEROh, I thought you would know what a cryptic crossword was. So I think I suddenly my grandmother was used to call him skeletons, huh?

32:52SPEAKERBut I believe I'm going Oh a crossword puzzle in which each clue is a word puzzle, you know, this is different

32:59SPEAKERI'm gonna have to look at this

33:00SPEAKERI've never seen this before

33:01SPEAKERthe ones that I used to do with my grandmother are I think called skeletons and that's where you just have a

33:07SPEAKERLike a 16 by 16 grid with no like you don't know how long the words are basically. Hmm

33:13SPEAKERSo you have to you have to fill in figure out the grid based on that. Those were really fun. This is fabulous

33:20SPEAKERLet's see according to Wikipedia a good cryptic clue contains three elements a precise definition a fair subsidiary indication

33:29SPEAKERThree nothing else. Hmm. Okay left British award where your ring is hung four letters

33:36SPEAKERI believe that's actually according to Jonathan Crowder. I don't know who that is. Hmm. He's the lord of cryptics perhaps. Yes

33:43SPEAKERPerhaps an author of cryptic

33:46SPEAKEROkay

33:47SPEAKERThat that that's all I got there. That's that okay quick question from simply bagel

33:52SPEAKERBrad did you ever get around to watching halt and catch fire?

33:55SPEAKERIf not might I suggest that could be a future pod like the hackers and sneakers episodes

34:00SPEAKERI have suggested we do exactly that like three times

34:03SPEAKERthe problem is we never seem to find a time when it is on any common streaming service and

34:09SPEAKERYou have rightfully pointed out that the best time to do one of those is when everybody can easily watch the thing at the same

34:16SPEAKERTime it's coming to everyone's favorite streaming service. I think now AMC plus

34:22SPEAKERRight. That's right. It's a premium brand

34:25SPEAKERSo if you have AMC through your cable provider

34:27SPEAKERYou have to pay more money on top of that to get AMC plus I believe I can't look AMC has has a very fine

34:32SPEAKERProgramming over the years. I cannot believe they think that they rate their own streaming service. I mean Walking Dead Mad Men

34:39SPEAKERBreaking Bad Breaking Bad

34:42SPEAKERcalled and catch fire

34:44SPEAKERProbably one or two others. There's more I mean Breaking Bad is an all-timer to me. I couldn't watch Breaking Bad. Are you serious?

34:50SPEAKERI mean, it's just that first season. I think the first season might be the worst in terms of uncomfortable situations. Maybe

34:56SPEAKERthe discomfort of him making

34:59SPEAKERwillful bad decisions for pride made me like I I had I had a hard time finding a

35:06SPEAKERCharacter that was like I don't know. Oh, it's definitely a downward spiral. Don't yes

35:11SPEAKERNo, I I'm familiar. Like I had to watch a bunch of it for the for the for a tested things. We interviewed Adam interviewed

35:19SPEAKERWhat's his name for the for the talking room once and I had to watch a ton

35:23SPEAKERLike I don't know

35:24SPEAKERI just I found it really intolerable to like I could it's a thing I could appreciate the brilliance of

35:29SPEAKERand not ever want to engage with it all I kind of feel the same way about the wire and in your

35:33SPEAKERLike it's like the wire, honestly

35:36SPEAKERI don't even like weeds

35:37SPEAKERAnytime people are making awful decisions and like continuing to pay the price for them and continue to make awful decisions

35:42SPEAKERI have a hard time with Don Draper not a particularly sympathetic character either. I really like Mad Men a lot

35:48SPEAKERI never finished it

35:50SPEAKERWe got like halfway through it and I liked it quite a bit and then we never finished it

35:53SPEAKERGod the last the the end of the second to last season and the last season are

35:58SPEAKERMaybe my all-time favorite season of TV. Huh? Jeez. That's really saying something. I did

36:05SPEAKERLook, there's a there's a bit where he's doing one of his pitches and it and he just decides to be honest and it's fat

36:11SPEAKERIt's spectacular. Okay

36:14SPEAKERBrad I watched the entirety of T and Star Trek TNG over the last like six months - wait, did you really? Yeah, dude

36:20SPEAKERWhat we should just do the podcast about that

36:23SPEAKERbut I will start again tomorrow because I I I I realized about midway through the fifth season that I stopped watching it when I

36:29SPEAKERWent to college Oh what? Yeah, okay

36:32SPEAKERactually, I started to say like oh you've got so many episodes to watch but then say

36:36SPEAKEREnd of season five somewhere in season six is when most people think it starts going downhill

36:40SPEAKERSo you actually saw most of the good ones

36:42SPEAKERBut but but the end of season like I went through and watched them all

36:45SPEAKERLike I thoroughly enjoyed season six and seven six six has quite a few good ones seven has some good ones

36:51SPEAKERbut also quite a lot of

36:54SPEAKERlook

36:55SPEAKERby the end of that run the the big question I have is

36:59SPEAKERAny technology that is as unreliable and dangerous as the holodeck should just be turned off forever

37:05SPEAKERThat's probably true and they should never let cast members sleep with each other or characters sleep with each other on the spaceship

37:11SPEAKERWell, you should be rules about that. Did that happen? Well, it was implied wait, when did that?

37:16SPEAKEROh, well, but they were always generally under the kind of mind control or other, but there's also a modulating force

37:22SPEAKERthere's also a lot of unresolved sexual tension between like

37:27SPEAKERBeverly and Picard. Oh sure. Yeah. Yeah

37:30SPEAKERTroy Reicher Reicher and Worf and data and everybody. Okay, we don't have an episode idea for next week

37:36SPEAKERShould we just talk about your favorite next generation episodes?

37:40SPEAKERWe could do that by the time by the time we need to record that episode

37:45SPEAKERI can make a list while I'm away this weekend people people will have let us know whether it's desirable or yeah

37:50SPEAKERLet us know what you think. I thoroughly enjoyed it

37:53SPEAKERI didn't like the last time I really engaged with the truck was when you and Norman and

37:56SPEAKERGary came up with that list like ten years ago the marathon. Did you there for that? I was there

38:01SPEAKERWe all piled in Norm's living room and watched like what six or seven and was it really that many?

38:06SPEAKERWe might have skipped one or two of the list, but the list was ten. Okay, I see

38:11SPEAKERSeem to remember steadily drinking more throughout the afternoon. I I had a relatively heavy

38:17SPEAKERI think of that time and I came in and by the time I got there three episodes in people were pretty toasty

38:21SPEAKERYeah, that was a good time. It was a good time. Remember hanging out with people. I remember going to people's houses

38:29SPEAKERI

38:30SPEAKERReally want to watch all catch fire like everything I've heard about it makes it sound amazing

38:33SPEAKERIt makes it it makes it sound like extremely for me

38:36SPEAKERI mean, but I think we should maybe we should pick a time and watch the first season and

38:42SPEAKERMaybe we do it as an arc or something for the town

38:45SPEAKERI don't know how we'll handle it

38:46SPEAKERBut it's it's just a shame because I think it was on Netflix for quite a while right until it was on Netflix for literally years

38:51SPEAKERHow that kills me? Oh, we should have done that. Okay, we'll figure it out. Yeah paradox

38:56SPEAKERI just left my roughly

38:59SPEAKER$1,200 iPad Pro and Apple pencil - on the roof of the car after negotiating the 16 month old into said car

39:06SPEAKERWhat's the most expensive?

39:08SPEAKERTech related thing you've accidentally physically destroyed and they included a photo pictures

39:14SPEAKERthe picture is hard to look at that that iPad is

39:18SPEAKERToast it's not I think pencil maybe was okay

39:21SPEAKERI wonder I wonder if the innards are intact and then they could just have the screen replaced that the Genius bar perhaps

39:27SPEAKERI was gonna like I always wonder iPad. I always wonder what the limits of Apple care are in that situation

39:34SPEAKERI don't mean for free. I mean you probably would pay maybe several hundred dollars, but less than 1200

39:39SPEAKERI would think do you think you could come in though with like like the pieces in a box in a cardboard box and be

39:44SPEAKERLike hey, I think something's wrong with my iPad. I don't have a picture in front of me

39:49SPEAKERMaybe it's worse than I remember. I would have to pull it back up

39:52SPEAKERIt looks it very definitely looks like it fell off of a moving car. Yeah

39:57SPEAKERAgain, I think the main board the insides might be okay. I

40:01SPEAKERFeel like the iPad the expensive thing is the screen probably. Oh for sure. I'm yeah, it would definitely not be cheap to replace that

40:06SPEAKERScreen that's that I have to stop looking at that. That's rough. Um, I first off. Sorry for your loss

40:12SPEAKERSecond when my daughter was two between two and three

40:16SPEAKERShe knocked three iPhone sixes out of my hands each one exploded Wow

40:23SPEAKERYep, Wow over how short a time about four months and that's rough. It was really expensive

40:29SPEAKERYeah, huh? Yikes

40:32SPEAKERThe part of the problem was that the six had that bad

40:36SPEAKERIt was when they first time did the curved bezel on the glass and I think that made the glasses

40:41SPEAKERExceptionally brittle. Mm-hmm. Yes. I

40:43SPEAKERDidn't have a case on the first time

40:46SPEAKERMaybe I didn't have a case on the I did probably have a good enough case on the second one by the third one

40:51SPEAKERafter the third one I bought a really stupid huge chunky case that like you could huck it across the room and and

40:58SPEAKERThen I just couldn't carry my phone in my pocket anymore, which was not great

41:02SPEAKERTrade-offs. I think they probably have refined because they still sell, you know

41:06SPEAKERThe the current SE is still that form factor with the curved glass, but I think they've probably

41:11SPEAKERThey've probably refined the what is that? Is that tensile strength?

41:14SPEAKERThe the well, it's it's but it's weird

41:16SPEAKERIt's like the it's like an impact on the corner would cause it to shatter immediately and those phones always land on their corners

41:23SPEAKERIt turns out iPhone 6 is the only iPhone and the only phone I've ever broken. Actually, that's the only phone

41:27SPEAKERI've ever broken a screen on now the change it didn't feel good. No

41:32SPEAKERAnd I don't know about you, but like I get just like the Pives

41:36SPEAKERLike I would put my solution for that is get a piece of packing tape and put it over our screen protector

41:42SPEAKERIf you happen to have a spare

41:43SPEAKERPut it over the screen until you can get in and get it replaced or get a replacement in

41:47SPEAKERBut it was so it just it just makes me so anxious. I can't even cook

41:52SPEAKERAll right. I haven't destroyed a lot of tech in college

41:57SPEAKERI managed to get my hands on a 17 inch trinitron PC monitor

42:03SPEAKERThis was like this was in the heyday

42:05SPEAKERWell, maybe not as bad as you're imagining but you know

42:08SPEAKERThis was in the heyday of like quake 3 like you want getting a good monitor was a big deal because yeah

42:12SPEAKERPC games were huge at the time

42:15SPEAKERSomething flat was a real treat to moving it out of my dorm at the end of the semester to move home

42:21SPEAKERsomehow I moved it into the the kind of the

42:24SPEAKERWell, the foot area behind the front seat in the backseat. I caught the screen on like the the front seat was leaned forward

42:32SPEAKERSo I put a nice fat gouge in right in the middle of the glass

42:36SPEAKERFrom the machinery that you know allows the C to lean forward and recline. Oh, that's horrible

42:43SPEAKERSo yes for the rest of that line monitors lifespan. There was just a big old fat

42:48SPEAKERgouge in the glass which

42:51SPEAKEROtherwise a very nice monitor and I just had to live with it. I

42:54SPEAKERhad a 36 inch tube TV was a

42:59SPEAKERStandard def TV because it was a HD would have weighed like 300 pounds

43:03SPEAKERBut it didn't have handles cuz it was a Panasonic

43:06SPEAKERIt was it was like it wasn't the heaviest

43:09SPEAKERIt could have been in that space in that like that size

43:12SPEAKERbut it was it was unwieldy and heavy and it had like gently rounded corners on all of the plastic and

43:18SPEAKERwhen we were moving it out of one of my apartments a friend of mine was helping me carry it and

43:22SPEAKERWe were about to drop it and we had to set it down and it tipped over forwards and had a really good scratch

43:28SPEAKERRight on the glass right in the middle of the screen and then I just couldn't I yeah, I don't know made me sad

43:36SPEAKERDid you keep it?

43:38SPEAKERI kept it until we moved to California and

43:41SPEAKERThen I knew that there was no way it was getting up the stairs into the apartment that I rented

43:46SPEAKERwe rented it and I gave it to my sister-in-law who used it for a couple years and then

43:51SPEAKERLike it was it like honestly that thing was a threat like it could have killed like if it fell on you

43:58SPEAKERYou would die. Oh, yes. Trust me

44:01SPEAKERI I have helped move a 36 inch HD Sony trinitron white scroll like out 16 by 9 36 inch

44:08SPEAKERNo, that's a killer. It took three people to move

44:10SPEAKERYeah, and like the thing is they weren't big enough for three people to get around and hold effectively

44:16SPEAKERso that meant one person whoever was on the screen side was carrying most of the weight and the other two people

44:21SPEAKERWe're kind of helping a little bit in steering. Basically. Yeah

44:25SPEAKERterrible technology

44:28SPEAKERLet's whip through a handful of others here real quick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

44:32SPEAKERQuestion had a question about you. I was literally about to read that one. Okay, I still read and his username is Luke

44:38SPEAKERJP, even though I think that's actually just it's just like it's just my discord client. Yeah, not rendering the flag emoji

44:46SPEAKERThanks windows need a status check on Brad and his new notchbook life

44:50SPEAKERHow's it going Brad? That macbook is incredible. Like that's a fantastic laptop. It's very nice

44:55SPEAKERand the notch continues to be stupid but

44:59SPEAKERBut I installed top-notch the day after I got it and have not thought about it at that much

45:04SPEAKERwhatever we talked about this recently I

45:06SPEAKERcontinue to say that the that's

45:09SPEAKERThe canonical color for the Mac Mac OS menu bar is like white or off-white, but I'm running a black menu bar now

45:16SPEAKERSo I can't see the notch and hey, it's working. Okay. There you go better life on that thing is insane

45:21SPEAKERHave we talked to do we have we have this exact conversation?

45:23SPEAKERWe have not talked about this at all every life on that thing is ludicrous. Is it like an iPad basically?

45:29SPEAKERBasically, yes, I turned it on at 100% and used it for like 20 minutes to do something and then put it to sleep

45:35SPEAKERcame back and

45:37SPEAKEROpened it three or four days later and I want to say was still in the 90s

45:41SPEAKERWow, that's really nice. Maybe 87 after only three days. That's amazing. It's a lot. It's fine. Just laughs man. It's crazy

45:49SPEAKERI don't know how it's happened. But at some point in the last I don't know five years Apple's gotten really good at battery life

45:56SPEAKERYeah, like I bought I got a new watch

46:00SPEAKERafter Christmas when they were on sale and

46:03SPEAKERLike it I charge it every other day basically Wow

46:06SPEAKERYeah, I didn't get no I didn't know there were Apple watches that could last a day at this point like the magical lasting into

46:13SPEAKERA second day. I feel like it's the inflection point there

46:16SPEAKERIt's it's 18 hours and that's what the with the screen always on if you turn the screen off it'll last longer

46:22SPEAKERIt's without so I got the cellular one, but I haven't turned cellular on

46:28SPEAKERBut yeah, no, I'm it's it is it has been very pleasant. Yeah

46:33SPEAKERYeah, if I was still leaving the house, I would have gotten one of those series sevens

46:37SPEAKERI literally got it just so I don't miss notifications sitting at my desk because everything else that like the notifications are unreliable and bad

46:44SPEAKERYep, I hear you. All right. Well

46:47SPEAKERFrom good Apple products to questionable ones. Whoo, the cat's meow asks a question

46:53SPEAKERWe order to do my IMAX for my job and the wireless mice still have the charging port on the bottom of the mouse

46:59SPEAKERThis makes the mouse unusable when it needs to charge. Why haven't those engineers been fired yet?

47:04SPEAKERLook that design is old enough that those engineers are dead now

47:07SPEAKERalso, do you think that was a choice made by engineers or by like designers like

47:12SPEAKERDid that come out of that come out of a technical discipline or a an aesthetic one?

47:17SPEAKERLook the first thing anybody who uses a Mac should do is replace the mouse with a track

47:23SPEAKERBut like the magic trackpad delightful product the magic Mouse terrible product is is I assume the magic trackpad is just a giant version

47:30SPEAKEROf what's in the MacBooks? It's just a big old flat trackpad. Yes. Yeah, I could see the appeal

47:36SPEAKERIt's like the there's a hump on the back that holds the two double-a batteries that make it work. Okay

47:41SPEAKERYeah, I think I've seen that thing

47:42SPEAKERI mean there there's still a precision to a mouse that you don't quite get with even those very good touchpads

47:48SPEAKERMm-hmm. I mean look

47:50SPEAKERThe problem with the magic Mouse is it it's not ergonomically compatible with human hands. Oh, yeah

47:56SPEAKERI'm not saying you should use the Apple Mouse like yeah

47:57SPEAKERNo

47:58SPEAKERIt's bad

47:58SPEAKERThe space for the swiping isn't big enough for the swiping that you need to do to make the Apple the Mac OS stuff work

48:04SPEAKERRight. I think it's just a terrible product. They shouldn't say they should have stopped selling it years ago

48:08SPEAKERGet a get a good mouse like that's my advice

48:11SPEAKERI'm generally I'm being fairly flip when I say Steve Jobs would never have allowed this but also I think that's true, right?

48:17SPEAKERLike how's how did the ship? Why would they do that? No, Steve Jobs doesn't know how to use he's bad

48:22SPEAKERHe was bad at mice like he shipped. He he liked the puck Mouse

48:25SPEAKERMax, that's right. Okay long history of Apple making fucking terrible mice

48:30SPEAKERMaybe maybe the last good mouse they made is like the system 7 era max

48:36SPEAKERThat had the bulbous round back and one giant button

48:40SPEAKERso no right mouse button that that maybe was the last good one on like

48:46SPEAKERWhat trackpads are really good that's the TLDR their track pods are great their mice are terrible

48:52SPEAKERI haven't thought about this in like 20 years, but you just reminded me how long Apple was a holdout on one button mice

48:57SPEAKEROh, yeah for two decades. That's right. I could were so stubborn about not adding a second mouse button

49:03SPEAKERThey never added a second mouse button. They added

49:07SPEAKERIf you want to right-click with the with the magic Mouse you put two fingers on it and click instead of one finger on it

49:12SPEAKERAnd click you know, nope, I like buttons, but having a bright mouse button turns out really useful

49:18SPEAKERYeah, gosh, how about a couple more? Oh, I wanted to read this one from Devon mm

49:23SPEAKERI hope I'm saying that right Devon millimeter. I always thought of that in my head as Devon. Mmm. Oh

49:29SPEAKERThat checks out as someone who just added a fourth monitor to my workstation. I got to thinking do you wish you had more monitors?

49:35SPEAKERHow much is too much for you Wow for monitors is a lot. That's kind of a lot

49:40SPEAKERI think I think Vinny's got four monitors actually at this point

49:43SPEAKERSo I do I have three monitors on my desk, but they're hooked up to two different computers

49:47SPEAKERYeah

49:48SPEAKERThat's kind of a different use case when you're running a streaming setup like that's not I think for the purposes of the thought experiment

49:55SPEAKERI think we're talking about monitors on one PC

49:57SPEAKERso I always used to do I for a while I did three monitors with like

50:01SPEAKEROne in the middle a big one in the middle and then two smaller ones on the side in portrait

50:06SPEAKERAnd it turns out looking left and right all day for me is bad for my neck

50:11SPEAKERSo I switched to just doing two and I do a low and a high and that that turns out is fine

50:16SPEAKEROkay, huh? Yeah, I also I think two is I think two is the right number for me

50:20SPEAKERYeah, I think I mean like centered in front of you. Are you like always a little after all right?

50:25SPEAKERI like having a main monitor in a side monitor. Yeah, that's my feeling to me monitor is the thing I'm doing the work on

50:31SPEAKERSide monitor is for just like having discord or my inbox up the thing that I clap so aside monitors for things that you glance at

50:38SPEAKEROften on yeah, it's like main monitors for the thing that demands your attention

50:41SPEAKERSo here's my question if you're like writing some code or working on a script or something

50:46SPEAKERAnd you have reference material up

50:47SPEAKERDo you put the reference material like on the left half of the main monitor or do you put on the secondary monitor like the the?

50:52SPEAKERReference material goes on the second monitor. The terminal window stays on the main monitor. Okay, interesting. Yeah

50:58SPEAKERWhich is a good reason to get acquainted with a shift. It's windows windows left and windows, right? Yes, it is windows

51:05SPEAKERYes, so it's shift win left and right. Whoa

51:08SPEAKERI didn't really shift moves it to the top of the bottom monitor

51:11SPEAKEROh, yeah, yeah shift shift with arrow keys will also like snap it to sides of the screen now

51:15SPEAKEROh see I do I just do

51:18SPEAKERWindows and the arrow keys to move it from left and left and right side of the screen

51:21SPEAKEROh, yeah, so shift shift windows left and right will move it to other monitors very quickly. That's a trip. It's fantastic

51:27SPEAKERAlso, this reminds me

51:29SPEAKERThere's a question that we have to read that I was about to forget about

51:32SPEAKEROkay, like it is in fact like I did preparation for this. Whoo. I think it is the most important question in this entire episode

51:39SPEAKERIt's good. We saved it for the very end when no one's listening

51:43SPEAKERFrom suspicious link. Well, hey people people with with determination and grit and endurance

51:49SPEAKERHave are about to receive their reward

51:51SPEAKERWe're rewarding the heroes of the podcast who listen to the very very end when we put the funny thing. Oh, it's not funny

51:57SPEAKERNo, no, I'm saying after the after all the patreon. Thank you. So this is this is dead serious. Yes

52:02SPEAKEROh now we get to find out if this new microphone picks up guinea pig. We heard we're not leaking

52:07SPEAKEROh, you're ever so slightly. Okay, I guess the answer is yes

52:11SPEAKERAll right. This is from suspicious link today. I learned f5 in notepad spits out a time stamp

52:17SPEAKERWait, what that was exactly my reaction open notepad and hit f5 and have your mind fucking blown. Fuck me sideways

52:26SPEAKERYou believe it. Holy shit. I'm just doing nothing but time stamps all day long like

52:31SPEAKERTo be clear there are no seconds. I kind of wish it had seconds. But look mine has seconds where yours does

52:36SPEAKEROh, I'm looking at the example. They put in their question. Maybe maybe I should check the way. No, it doesn't

52:42SPEAKERNo, no, no, never mind. I was just jamming in because I was hammering f5 so fast

52:45SPEAKERI couldn't tell where the where the date ended and the time began. So so 701 p.m. 3 3 2022 is the way this looks right now

52:52SPEAKERThis is freakin incredible still. Yes, do other buttons do other things. Holy effing F f6 does nothing

52:59SPEAKERI have five Brad. I don't know. I don't know. It's kind of random but like, okay

53:04SPEAKERWell, I guess I'll read the whole rest of the email, but I have an experiment to do. Okay email question, whatever

53:11SPEAKEROkay. Yeah, so f5 and notepad spits out a time stamp

53:13SPEAKERDo you have one or two button shortcuts in Windows and Linux apps that save you a bunch of time another cool freebie?

53:19SPEAKEROn the OS 10 command line control a goes to the beginning of the prompt and control e goes to the end

53:25SPEAKERThat's a handy one, too. I use control and at the arrow keys to spit to space through words

53:31SPEAKERYes, that's done. That'll yes control arrow keys will will move your cursor from word to word rather than character to character

53:38SPEAKERYep, I use Windows P a lot to change the monitor layout. Mm-hmm

53:45SPEAKERWe talked earlier today about control shift V to paste without formatting which works in almost everything. Yeah, that's a good one

53:52SPEAKERYou know what? I want you know what I've known about this, but I just started using it for real this

53:56SPEAKERThis week Windows V. What's Windows? Oh, is that the is that the the

54:02SPEAKERLike history for the clipboard it brings up. Yes, it brings up the the yes clipboard history exactly that

54:09SPEAKERSo if your cursor is in a field

54:11SPEAKERYeah, pop it up right there and you can actually just pick from the clipboard history right into the field

54:16SPEAKERYou were trying to type it. That's fabulous

54:17SPEAKERYeah, if your cursor is not in like an app that where you can enter something, it'll just pop it up

54:22SPEAKERI think in the notification area, but still like digging stuff eight copies ago out of your clipboard history pretty useful

54:28SPEAKERDo you know about Windows plus period or Windows period should I try it right now? You can it's gonna break this recording

54:34SPEAKERNo, it's the emoji. Wow, that's useful. So I used to use this

54:40SPEAKERWait, hang on. Does this have like all the unicodes - holy shit. Oh, yeah, dude

54:43SPEAKERIt has everything even has like the weird like the kind of kanji emoji things in there. Oh

54:49SPEAKERYeah, so Wow

54:50SPEAKERDoes this mean I don't have to go Google the word cliche every time I want to write cliche and just copy the little e

54:54SPEAKERWith the accent you can copy the accent. The one thing that bums me out is it used to have the shrug?

55:00SPEAKERLike the the ASCII shrug. Do you the ASCII shrub? I love that thing and it's gone now, man

55:06SPEAKERI literally typed a Greek letter into a piece of content today. I could have just used this thing instead of going to Google for it

55:13SPEAKERYeah, it's the bomb. That's and you can search too. So you cannot even type in like shrug and it takes you right to the right

55:19SPEAKEREmoji you want that's a good one. All right. Oh and another quick one window D. Yeah, I feel like I know what I

55:25SPEAKERMinimizes everything God. Okay, that was scary. I thought my recording stopped literally everything you have open so you can just get your dress up

55:32SPEAKERAll right. Here's the prep work. I did. Yeah fucking f5 to make a timestamp and notepad

55:37SPEAKERI have loaded up the 486 core on the mister where I have a Windows

55:42SPEAKER3.11 for work groups install what oh my god. How long has this been in here? I need to know I need to know

55:49SPEAKEROh, I'm so excited. This can't be the first version of notepad

55:52SPEAKERI assume notepad existed probably in Windows 1.0 for all I know that would be my assumption. Okay, I have launched notepad

55:58SPEAKERAre you ready? Yeah, I've never been more ready

56:02SPEAKERIt fucking did it

56:05SPEAKERWhat?

56:06SPEAKERDid it take a screenshot? Oh shit now I have show art

56:12SPEAKERWhat

56:14SPEAKERWindows notepad debuted in 1983 to commercialize the computer mouse in MS-DOS dude. This has been in there since the early 90s

56:23SPEAKERThat's amazing in 1983 was called multi-tool notepad for DOS. Oh, man. I can't believe this features

56:30SPEAKERI am so like I

56:33SPEAKERScandalized, I don't know what the word is here

56:35SPEAKERI'm I am shocked. Yeah feature has just been lurking under the surface for decades now who knew unknown

56:42SPEAKERDo you know about you know about ctrl K right? I feel like we talked about that at some point. Oh, yes

56:47SPEAKERYes, you'll leave that it's the linking one

56:49SPEAKERThe hyperlink that seems to work in most WYSIWYG editors these days almost all yeah, humor shortcuts

56:55SPEAKERAre great are fantastic. People should send us their best keyboard shortcuts. Maybe like a thread into this week's episode

57:02SPEAKERYeah channel, my gosh, I've got a lot that I like I enjoy them shortcuts doing things faster

57:08SPEAKERYeah, it's good. I you know, there were a couple others I was planning to take but I don't think there's anywhere to go from there

57:15SPEAKERHonestly, that's a pretty good. That was that one was a pretty pretty good question

57:19SPEAKERI thought I genuinely was not expecting that to work in old windows. That's amazing. I'm like

57:26SPEAKERMy entire world is upended Brad. I wasn't aware that notepad had features. Oh, right

57:31SPEAKERWell, hey, it's got dark mode now. I'd like I'm gonna go and tell you I

57:35SPEAKERLike I look at it has tabs - what wait, hang on doesn't know

57:41SPEAKERI was gonna say if they gave notepad tabs, but not file explorer

57:45SPEAKERWhy the fuck does file explorer not have tabs today used to have tabs they started I looked this up recently

57:50SPEAKERThey they started working on that in a preview version of Windows that I think rolled out to some testers

57:55SPEAKERBut then they ultimately canceled the feature

57:57SPEAKERWhy would you not put why would you like finder has had that for how many like how long decade something like that?

58:04SPEAKERYeah, like why would you not put tabs and God?

58:07SPEAKERThere are times when I have like eight file explorer windows open. It's a it's a nightmare

58:11SPEAKERHere's my question and I say this having not really spent any time looking at this at all

58:15SPEAKERWhy do I not have dark mode in notepad plus plus? Oh, well, it's got very extensive theme support

58:21SPEAKERSo I think they probably just want you to oh, yeah, dude. Are you kidding? I didn't know there were things

58:26SPEAKERYou know come through notepad plus plus themes. Look man. There are so many menu settings in notepad plus plus

58:31SPEAKERI never even engaged with you are not wrong. It is a pretty busy application like there there there's a button

58:38SPEAKERI think this is a oh, no, it's a functionalist, but it looks like an old macromedia flash logo from before the Adobe bought them

58:43SPEAKERI'm trying to tell yes, you're right

58:45SPEAKERSo now I'm sitting here trying to tell you which theme I use in notepad plus plus and I can't actually find the theme menu

58:50SPEAKERTo tell you yeah, I I you said that that's a thing you could do. Sorry. Wait, it's a thief

58:56SPEAKERNo, it's not the style configurator

58:58SPEAKERIt's no that that style configurator lets you choose which like their markup for languages markup for different languages

59:07SPEAKERShortcut mapper, I know it's here somewhere. I think I am. Let's see. I can't even find settings tools. Nope settings

59:15SPEAKERThere we go style configurator. Oh, no, that's the thing. You just said plastic plastic code mod

59:21SPEAKERUsing here we go enabled dark mode problem solved. Oh, I didn't know it did have well, okay. There we go

59:26SPEAKERWell, that is an ugly dark mode learning few things every day. This is I'm not happy with this dark mode. All right

59:31SPEAKERWell, hey, let's end this podcast and you can go make your own theme. I don't think that's gonna happen realistically, but okay

59:38SPEAKERThis is the part of the podcast where we tell people how to submit questions that they would like to have turned into answers

59:45SPEAKERBy us the question and answer experts. That's right

59:49SPEAKERYou can do that by sending an email to tech pod at content town. That's tech pod at content town or

59:56SPEAKERAlternately you can hop in the discord go to the channel named questions seeking answers

1:00:01SPEAKERpost a question

1:00:02SPEAKERIt will disappear into the ether a short period of time after you post it and oh then Brad and I will go through there

1:00:08SPEAKERAnd find the questions we deem worthy or silly and answer them. Yeah. Thanks to everybody who sends questions

1:01:03SPEAKERWe just kind of had a chat. It was really nice. Yeah, it's nice to just have a conversation. Yeah

1:01:08SPEAKERI feel like we can't we talk about Elden Ring on that one a little bit or no. I don't think so

1:01:15SPEAKEREverywhere I go people are talking about Elden Ring this week

1:01:17SPEAKERAnd yeah, I'm thinking about Elden Ring a lot and I kind of want to talk about Elden Ring more

1:01:21SPEAKERBut that is that is for good reason. It's very good. I've actually fallen back into horizon believe it or not. Wow, I

1:01:27SPEAKERWas super all-in on Elden Ring and then basically I wanted to play one more story mission in

1:01:32SPEAKERHorizon to have something new to say about it on the podcast this week

1:01:35SPEAKERYeah, and that story mission turned out to be the one where they give you the full info dump on literally everything

1:01:41SPEAKEROh, that's nice. And they've kind of got their hooks in me now where I want to suspect that hmm

1:01:45SPEAKERI'm not gonna spoil it that game goes in some weird sci-fi directions that I was like

1:01:49SPEAKERI'm extremely not expecting it is it is the sci-fi nature of that game is the thing that is most interesting to me about it

1:01:56SPEAKERLike you would like you bounce off that first game, right?

1:01:59SPEAKERDo you know anything about the story of that game because the premise of that game? I think you would be way into you

1:02:03SPEAKERI mean, I know that the robots that there was a apocalypse and that the machines it went bad

1:02:10SPEAKERAnd then there's sentient machine dinosaurs around and you have to kill them in with combat that I found

1:02:16SPEAKERFrustrating and not fun. Do you know the purpose of the robot dinosaurs though? Nope. Okay. Well then, okay

1:02:21SPEAKERWow, you don't know anything about the cool stuff

1:02:23SPEAKERTwo hours in that game. Maybe all the all the cool stuff is in the back like third

1:02:28SPEAKERYeah, or even fourth of that game. I've been bouncing back and forth between

1:02:33SPEAKER2018 God of War which just came out on PC a few months ago

1:02:37SPEAKERAnd I didn't really play it on the ps4 and now going back and forth between that and Elden Ring and it turns out

1:02:45SPEAKERPlaying Elden Ring has made me much better at God of War

1:02:48SPEAKERBut the controls are just different enough to make it really really brain challenging when I switch back and forth

1:02:53SPEAKEROh, yeah playing one. Yes the other yes

1:02:56SPEAKERI'm almost done with God of War though that game is amazing horizon and Elden Ring both having mounts

1:03:00SPEAKERI can tell you those buttons don't do the same things. Dude. I learned yesterday that you can dismount the horse

1:03:07SPEAKERI think was actually listening to your other podcast. Click the click the right or left stick like yeah

1:03:12SPEAKERClick left stick to jump off. I've been switching back to the ring. Oh, no, it's like the whistle whatever

1:03:19SPEAKERYeah, oh man. You just got a leap right off that thing in the battle leaping off of it is much better

1:03:23SPEAKERUh-huh. I got a really sick turtle shield last night. Wow. It's like a huge turtle shell Wow

1:03:28SPEAKERIt's it's cool barrier on it, man

1:03:31SPEAKERI should play more Elden Ring and I can I can get up there and it's a hundred percent block

1:03:35SPEAKERSo I take the big hit and then I just whale on them those boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. It's very good

1:03:41SPEAKERIt's the first time I've ever played one of these games without like being a total cheese Lord

1:03:45SPEAKERVery satisfying. But anyway, if you would like to join the tech pod community where every channel is about Elden Ring right now

1:03:51SPEAKERit seems like

1:03:52SPEAKERYou can by going to patreon.com slash tech pod. Thanks everybody for supporting the show and listening to our nonsense every week

1:03:59SPEAKERWe really appreciate it. Yeah, and there's a new episode of the FOSS pod out this week

1:04:03SPEAKERYes, this is the first one that doesn't show up in this feed

1:04:05SPEAKERSo that's right. If you want FOSS pod in your life

1:04:08SPEAKERYou got to go to FOSS pod content on town and download it over there

1:04:12SPEAKERProbably should put that at the start of the show to default a manifesto. Yes

1:04:16SPEAKERWe talk about why we think it's a good idea to have the open sources

1:04:20SPEAKERSee you next week. Mr. Shoemaker. We also talked about your time in a penguin suit

1:04:25SPEAKERLook, there's a picture of the penguin suit. Yes by that

1:04:28SPEAKERI mean we also talked about our own histories with open source stuff over the years. Yeah, and and and also

1:04:34SPEAKERLike we really got into like the things that are happening in the consumer open source space that make it exciting right now

1:04:40SPEAKERI think which is the thing we've kind of hinted at before but we actually kind of broke it down this time

1:04:44SPEAKERYeah, yeah, we are looking forward to going deeper on some future episodes of that show though

1:04:48SPEAKERYeah, next next. I want to get it. I wanted it's time for another interview. I think yes

1:04:52SPEAKERWe're in the process of getting help with the production end of the show

1:04:55SPEAKERSo which will help a ton hoping to do more interview and deep dive type stuff hands-on stuff trip reports. Yep, etc

1:05:02SPEAKERWe got a lot of good stuff in the hopper. Yeah, so anyway, thanks for listening everybody. Have a good week

1:05:08SPEAKERWe'll see you next time

1:05:10SPEAKEROn grad and well made a tech pun. Bye

1:05:18SPEAKER[BLANK_AUDIO]
