136: Mini Mayhem

And because Adam Curry made fun of me. When? He.

Said. Hello and welcome to whatever episode of unrelenting this may be. I love how you said the play, the theme halfway through our show that we've just been doing for the last half hour. That's the show. This is big tech support. This is the tech talk on the show. And with me inside. Are you not recording for that last half hour? It's learning on the fly.

Only after I said I was starting the recording because it was starting to, that it was starting to glitch, but I don't know if it's a glitch or things just have to work the way through.

You told me this system is great. It works great for me. Broadcasting live is rebooted in about six months. Man, it works great live from. Oh, you are you and your Mac mini too? Yeah, double Mac mini action today. Woohoo! That's right. It's all Mac mini all the time. We're all Mac all the time. I'm like, you know, those people like, you know, Ben, the, trans Linux person, is he? Yeah. You have to be careful. It's brilliant. Tom. Tom ski said I. Where's the tweet?

I haven't done any of that today because I normally normally like an hour

before the show. It's like, well, now I need to do this. Now I need to do that today. It was like, let's just get the audio working. But as the show is going on I mean Gene blow V8. So the nice thing is I can just go through and do things. Well yeah. You didn't tell me we're in live. I thought we were live. That's what I talked for the last half hour. We are live. And I opened up the thing and with the C, nobody's boosted. So I mean, that's okay.

Or why would they I don't know, they don't they don't boost. And then it didn't you know don't do that doesn't pew and then it doesn't boost and then it does that. But I did that as you know, you kept telling me, get the Mac mini man. And I'm. The more I look at it, it's a great mini me right now on my, stream deck, it says I'm using 20% of my CPU.

And, the other day, I did hit the 16 gig of memory, which I did get the 24, but I'm thinking I'm either because I've got until I bought it from Amazon, because Amazon was cheaper than Apple. It's because Ray market know it. Well said from Amazon.com I mean they sold it there. There they are. An official Apple retailer. You know I don't believe that's true. That's a great market. It's the Amazon folks. Hey I don't know maybe it's sell off of a truck.

But Apple was like they Amazon they email staples Photoshop same difference but like welcome to your new Mac mini. And I'm like well okay okay. Did it start off in Hebrew. This is baby. It's this is where it came from. It was much cheaper, much better. And the it was way steeper from somebody that is used. And I used a, a MacBook Pro from like 2009 to probably like 2014 until it was finally.

So it's been about ten years since I've used Apple with regularity. Right. And this is the way this works now, for anybody that just watches YouTube videos, checks their email, and surfs the web, you can switch back and forth between both of these things without a problem. Super easy. So that's really an inconvenience right now for me. Asshole. Who wants to change everything? Oh my God. It's like the first 48 hours is like you're having an aneurysm. Like you just do everything you don't.

How do you do it? How you with your symptoms. That's all it is. It'll pass. Well, it's the simple things like, okay, I have bad eyes. So when I get to a lot of web pages, they are not really sized correctly for me. So I like to zoom in and resize them. Right now on the windows machine you hit control and then play with the little wheel on the mouse, right. That doesn't work out of the box and OS act. You have to go get another program. You have to get a mouse program.

No, you just need to get it. You need to get ads. What are you the is it the browser ads? You mean all the browser? Yeah, yeah, I used to have an every platform and that does it automatically with Android, windows, Mac. It's not Trans Linux, but everything else pretty much. But so that was that part. Like the simple things like why is that different? And I get it, but why are you're open and close and minimize buttons on the opposite side. It's windows.

Yeah. You, you know been asked about that too. You, you do realize that's the original side they run and that's fine. Move them to not get sued. I know this is like no. Again, this is for people coming from one to the other. You're like, why would why would you do that to me? The supposed to be over here. And then why is it just red, yellow and green? They're like, what does that mean? I don't I mean like, no, they have the little X in the, in the thing of the thing.

But just every and then the prompting you for the username and your password over and over and over again. That's a lot of it. Yeah. That's because, OSX has a thing that windows doesn't called security. I don't want me security, man. No, really? Why would why would I want security now? Can I just go to. My last one was today. We're live on, unrelenting and I can just. Yeah, I would over relenting or overreacting from November 15th here.

I can just I can just repost that and everybody will get the idea, right? Yeah. You got it. The, Got it. Well, here was the thing I wanted to install. I did install a app that would let me read and write to the NTFS file system, because I've got like 8000 external drives after see them. Now, the way to do this is, oh, you need to, you know, and there's a lot of things that you have to go in and okay. And put your password in that I get this one was you have to turn your fucking computer off.

You have to turn it on by holding it at the on off button until it gets into the recovery thing. Let it go through about 15 minutes of checking your fucking all of your files before it lets you choose the setting to allow the third party extensions. Like what the fuck are you installing the thing to run the MTF SAS file system? I forget what the thing was called, but it was highly recommended to login. Okay, so you you have actual external drives rather than the NAS. I have both.

That's it'll work just fine. So I have both. I'm doing anything. There's like the fucking drill bow here. I got like a 16TB worth of things that I wanted to be able to access, even if it's temporarily. And that is an NTFS based file system. But you could have also converted those. Oh yeah, you can easily have converted 16TB of data into another thing. You can just move it all around, which is what you could eventually do. But it's not like it's quick.

I mean, you could have just bought a new NAS and just put everything on there, I sure did. You just bought a new windows machine. That was the first 24 to 48 hours was like, fuck this shit, man. Come on. It shouldn't be this hard. It it shouldn't, it isn't. You made it hard. No. It's the way I like to do everything. And that ruined the audio. Get hard. We're making it break. Like what? Because we got what she said. Give me that.

But Bob got loopback on here from rogue on me, but so you can move the things around. I totally don't need that. But. Okay, well, you do if you want to do the thing with the mics, minus so you can hear the music, you absolutely don't. You do that in the mode too. You don't do that in the mode two. You totally do that. You don't. It's not how it works. And how do you do change the individual inputs in things like the browser? You can't do it. You can totally do that. Absolutely.

You gotta have the loopback to send the channels where you want them. Totally don't. Not at all. Totally do. It's the only way to fly. Yeah, but that was the this is this called PC person learning the Mac. But I've been on the Mac before, and it's like this. Apparently not every little thing.

Oh, just even, like, I had a, a bunch of, scripts that it's like, well, you know, but then I'm like, well, though the, YouTube downloader white t DLP The it's like, well, you have to put the u r l in quotes. I'm like, fuck that. You know how much more time that takes? I'm doing all this stuff on the fly. People send in requests for the show, I copy the URL, I go in, I hit the up. Cuz I think that for the rock and roll pre-show. But then I go in and just hold up, hold up.

You told me for years how you have all this music that is recorded by people on tape. I do, and when people watch things, people send in requests with live tracks that are available online. It's mainly YouTube and we will play them. So this is how I grab them. And then it's like, oh, well, you could just change to the bash environment. Why did you just stay that the first place? Like why would I want to do more. But just every little thing is like breaking the original copyright.

You're now breaking YouTube's copyright. We're breaking all the copyrights. Clearly the only way to go. I hope you're not making money at that. Never. If you are, you make zero money laws. Zero money. As long as you keep making zero money, you're good. It is poverty. This damn little machine. I mean you're, you're rich off of this show I'm sure. And then the, the other thing with the max stuff, the needing, the external doc which was 200 and like $59 to be able to sell it once for like 60 bucks.

It was, it was crap. That's why it was crap. This one has two of the DisplayPort. They all have three display. No, they don't all have three DisplayPort. I the one you want to bring up the fricking thing right now. It's also though it's running two weeks ago, right? It was the one running the software, though I didn't want to run the fucking software. I wanted to go direct this machine to the DisplayPort or whatever it is. No, there's no software. You just plug it in. Dude, I'm.

I have one of these. It's plugged in right now. Dude. It's running three displays. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's the one software to install. There's always software to install for it. No, not at all. You just lengthen them. But this has, you know, the two monitor outputs. It's got the one, the this the other thing. I wasn't going to pay an extra 100 bucks for the 2.5 fucking gig Ethernet. Does that just seemed like fucking you in the ass.

And this was included on this one. So I kind of went, okay, I guess I kind of take 100 bucks in, you know, if I really want the 2.5 gig speed, I

can plug it right in. So you can go ahead at $60 monitor output breakout thingy and then pay the hundred dollars to Apple to have built in two and a half did, but then you wouldn't have any other USB out. Not two and a half. You would have a ten gig, not two and a half. Two. I don't have anything that's ten gigs, so that would be a little overkill until I buy some kind of ten gig gear, which probably won't happen anytime soon.

There sounds like a series of choices made by you to me that you're bitching about. You have to send it all back before January 15th. That's going to be the thing. Like, fuck this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every little thing that you do, oh, I dare you yourself. PC with one of those, Nvidia cards that finally lets you do I know. Well that's what well, here's here's the thing I'm looking at as well do is get about three grand in donations between now and January 15th. That's right.

Donate everybody donate big time. Donate big league, big league. CSB I'm talking to you. Donate bigly. We've got to do it under $10. Oh, would you CSB with this 3350. No I need about 20 times that CSB yeah, how do you Irish guy in jail please tell your office I just said we don't read anything under $10 and you take like $0.15 and read it. I was taunting him, so I figured it was okay to tell our audience to visit his cartoons at WW. That ksbw dot l-o-l your friendly neighborhood.

Oh, what about those cartoons? Everybody goes there all the time. Anyway, he's your friendly neighborhood, Polak. Now that's a jingle I want to hear. It's your friendly neighborhood. Polacks be much use, you know, and make one. He says, Bitcoin is skyrocketing. So I'm sending here by equivalent to $3.30. You know, what else am I rocketing? Thank you. You know what else is skyrocketing prices. Well, that too does everything you have to buy going to the moon. Cardano.

I am finally even with Cardano again. Wow. That's crazy. You know what else? Skyrocketing Tesla. Yeah. Well, right now you get a free Tesla. Yep, that. It's almost doubled since I bought it. That's not a bad, bit of. And that was three months ago. That. Well, Elon told you it was going to be good. That's why I bought it. Because Elon said it's going to be well over a thousand bucks. So I'm like, okay, Elon, I'll buy it. Like, come on, buddy, you can do it.

And then I'm like, well, looking for programs because I've been using DBE power. I am for my Windows Explorer, Nat explorer, the Windows music player. No. The, but yeah, the music player was another thing. Just install when you pull up explorer, not Windows Explorer, just explorer which they're both named. The same thing, I guess. But the music player, I'm like, where's my favorite Russian AI MP? Nothing for the Mac, but dudes. Now you have Winamp. You can get Winamp. Oh really? Does I Triton?

I thought they did a search for that. No, because when that was like the original MP. Yeah, okay. That's what I need then because I'm like, I don't want to use VLC for this kind of stuff. Nah, VLC sucks. And there was one I did install via homebrew. You can always use iTunes. Oh fuck that. I did get audacious from, through homebrew, which seemed like it would be decent. I haven't even tried playing anything through it.

Through homebrew. Yeah. Why? Because it seems easier to install stuff that way. It's okay. I mean, I don't mind doing the little, like just type B, type B, and, there's type B, type B. What are you typing into the into the terminal. Where's the other thing. What the hell are you using the terminal for? There's nothing you do that requires a terminal. There is. I do stuff all the time that requires a terminal, including the multi DLP. Yeah. Terminals where it's at, baby. You're insane.

Terminal is where you're you're borderline, you're borderline trans Linux at this point. So go off and romp in the woods with Ben. Go with the Linux machine. Ben knows good things. Yeah. And although mix the program we're using to do this and that, you can do the, broadcast music. Well that is everywhere. That is Apple, that is windows, that is Linux. Thank God for them. But there's, all the Adobe stuff is both. Yes. We'll hear it on here. Okay. Here's the other thing.

Just because this was the main test that I wanted to do, which is and I know what takes the long time, this is the processing that we use to like all of the little, you know, background noise is or any of the reverb. It takes a long time for that to process. Because I did process a two hour podcast without that, and it was just a matter of minutes. Now, with all the processing it was taking on my windows machine about an hour. Damn. On the Mac mini. About a half hour.

Damn, that's such horrible software, dude. There's nothing that would take that long. Hey, I might agree with that, says, but that's irrelevant. The the comparison is impressive that this little itty bitty box compared to a Dell, which was 2000 bucks at Costco, which was a decent price at the time. Three years ago, I think it was. Yeah. The fact that this thing's already twice a $600 machine. Yeah, twice as fast as I will. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I just think it's poorly written software because honestly, that Mac is capable of processing 4 to 6 concurrent 4K live streams running at the same time. Right? So it's built for that. I mean, this stuff, I guess is single core and that's I think, yeah, clearly now if it was ever optimized, if it was optimized so it could do each channel on a different core, it would speed up exponentially. I don't wanna use all course. Do everything. That'd be even better. Yeah, but that's not how it works.

That's exactly how it works. Now, what the fuck you're doing? What do you just move it around here? Move this here. You gotta do that guy. Hack it all in. But here was the other thing. The the Apple tax. Okay, you know, I'm like, okay, I'll pay. I want a little extra memory, but really 200 bucks for eight gig more. And. Oh, that would have brought it up to 799, then 200 bucks for the going from 256 to 512 on the internal storage.

Okay. It's 999. What you were it's closed like eight or, Yeah, maybe nine somewhere, right. I thought it was eight something on Amazon again. The, the Apple tax really doesn't even come in. I looked at the, you know, their Magic Keyboard now, 200 bucks for a keyboard. It's magic. They better be for 200 bucks. What does it do besides get the link that I sent you to the $100 on sale keyboard that does literally everything you want. What looks in the dark? I don't I don't love the look.

Was that the one you texted? I really there's been so much going on in the last few days. The, the keyboard 200 and then the the trackpad is like 179. Yeah. Which I think I like the trackpad, I do. Oh, you bought it. No not yet trackpad. Not yet, but I think I'm going to because it's, it's better than the mouse from. No, no, but you don't know. So you're not you don't use the machine the same way.

But by the time you add all the apple, the features up and all of the accessories, it's like, woo, $8,000, you may as well just buy the Mac Pro man. Well, I did buy a mac Pro for $10,000 a few years back. So yeah, my CPU is still sitting at 20%. I think I need at least the, I think I need the M4 Pro computer. It's not even going to heat your house. I mean, I'm going to need at least, in the studio, maybe the studio with the Macs or the ultra is what we need.

Okay. And that way, everything will be fine. It's gonna be a single seat, right? I mean, you know, let's both see how all this audio works as we go forward, because, I mean, again, I know I was just setting everything up, but it was purely a professional audience. Studios are running on these things. Yeah, but I'm doing weird things by, like, moving stuff from one browser into a program that stream then streams it, and then it's also recording it. And the apple's like, what do I do?

You know, you could get around the whole illegality issue by just actually streaming on YouTube. YouTube is a beautiful place. And they're like yo you're fine now. You don't have to worry about nothing. Yeah. Because you're, you're all you're doing is you're basically playing back links to your existing videos. So you get to go. It's a beautiful to see what other Apple problems were there. This is kind of like I was you know what, I am winning.

I got been running on the Mac now, and I got you running on the Mac. So for all your bitching, it does, like I said, for for the first 48 hours, my Apple stock is safe. For now. You have to fight through wanting to just pick up the machine and throw it out a window because you're not. You're not used to doing the things the way. Well, have you ever heard of the cave allegory? The cave allegory of the cave?

Yes. This is a platonic thing about the, the people that live in the cave, and they've never left the cave. And they see the shadow cast through the entrance of the cave, and they describe the outside world as being the things that they see. They see two dimensional giraffes walking out there and two dimensional zebras, and that's what they think the world is, until one day,

a man ventures outside of this cave and actually sees the world as it is, in full color and in three dimensions. Don't do it. He comes back and describes the real true world to these people, and they kill him because he's a heretic. And heretics decide I should not live. Don't suffer which to live. As they say, we are going to kill Gene. One thing I will. One thing I will give Apple mega props for us.

Okay. Mega dittos. Yes. They do not require you sign into a goddamn Apple account for the computer to work. All right? Yeah, it's like, whoa. Way different from Microsoft. Everything they do windows of have you sign into your windows account. Hey, would you sign into your witness account? You see, I bought my my windows laptop recently a few months back. And, that unfortunately came with Windows 11 because everything else I run Windows 10 on. And yeah, I think you're right.

I don't think Windows 11 can really do anything until you sign in because it's got an update. Everything from you signing in, and they keep telling you it's free. Don't worry about it just drives. You know, we're just tracking you. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. We're. But it's all for your benefit. Your computer is going to take screenshots of everything you do every five seconds. Right. So that you can then be reminded of the things that you did every five seconds.

And we're not even going to charge you for this feature that we're adding. And of course, we're going to store that safely for you and that use it for everything, anything at all, except for advertising. I mean, the benefit, the benefit for them is they got a really good deal on where they're storing all this data. It's a CIA agency. C FBI it's NSA actually, but yeah. Yeah. Like, well, that's no problem.

We'll just we will just take a screenshot of everything you're doing on your computer and store it and, and the camera light and the microphone being out all the time. That's a security measure to ensure that only you are in front of your computer. Because if it's not you, then we need to make sure we mark the things that are happening in your computer is not being used.

So really the fact that the camera's on, Mike's on, and we're taking screenshots every five seconds, these are all for your benefit. This is also the first machine and I know it's available on windows, so it's the first time I've ever encrypted the drive out of the box. So. Oh yeah, it's totally worth it. Oh yeah. Because if anybody steals your machine, it's like, well, they can't get any of your data even if they walk away with it. Which is a beautiful thing. But it does take.

Yeah. It takes a little time and it's, it's always a pain in the ass even moving from one windows machine to another because it's like well what was I using. Oh I have to install this software now. Oh that's fine. It's a good opportunity to mice. Of course the it's the anti purge. Now that I'm moving over to a complete new operating system because I think I downloaded like 3 or 4 explorer type programs to try them out I want these. It's easier to delete programs off these things in the morning.

That that he just got to the trial room. We do the shows live on Friday's program. We just borrow it from that no agenda show. Just go to no agenda. That stream, you'll find it. But, and somebody was kind of chastising you last time for not having your own channel, right. We should have. I can't we can barely run audio. This is the all Mac mini edition of the unrelenting show. That's right. Broadcasting, recording. And, it will it will take me at least a week or two to make a final decision.

But I think the major get a new monitor for this or not know I'm running out of the same three monitors, because that would have also like blown up the price, which, again, that's the beauty of being able to step this up little by little less. I want to, but it's, I can't imagine that if you bought a $260 DAC, which you shouldn't have, but if you did, then it's got the most current latest Thunderbolt on it as well. I would have to look it up.

I thought it was Thunderbolt four, but I. I know they just popped with the five five. Yeah, that's still has four. Okay. But the Thunderbolt, I mean, that was the other thing with moving up to the next level, moving up to the M4 Pro, you got that Thunderbolt five, man. Don't you know it's five. It has to be better than four. Because it says five watts. Right. And see here the dock was a plugable 16 and one.

And I bought two of the USB converters to see, and I probably should order like a thousand more of those because, you know, you could never have enough of those. Okay. I'm sure that has, the micro SD card on it. It's got ten gigabit per second USB, USB, 2.0 with charging. I don't know why you'd want that audio it out so you can do audio through it. Yeah. And on the other side it's 210 gigabit USB 2.5 gigabit USB USB, C with power Ethernet, 2.5 gig.

And then you can technically plug in four displays, but only two are going to work on Mac. And that is the, two display ports that I'm using. Display ports. Yeah. They're just going from the DisplayPort connector from that to the DisplayPort input. The monitors, DisplayPort is you. Yeah. You should have, a USB C 3.1 display connectivity there. So I guess that dock doesn't have that. I don't have anything that would plug into that.

Yeah, but you can get a converter from that to HDMI or whatever normal crap you want to use. This has two display ports and two HDMI, so it doesn't have two HDMI, but they only run two monitors because of right out of the box with Apple. Now if you want to use other software, maybe. But right out of the box, this thing will only run three displays total. So the built in one and two external right? Yeah. Yeah okay. That's correct.

Now with windows I guess windows you can actually use the HDMI and the display ports and run four monitors off this device. Not anything I would ever want to do although. Yeah, you might you you could if your video card does it. Like my video card on the PC supports four monitors. You could do it that way, right? But if you're using built in, video on the DC New. But so far, this thing's working, which I was surprised just right out of the box.

Boom. And after I didn't even know that the, USB ports were different speeds. I need to make sure that I've got the, because I've. Then, of course, I have a whole USB run that has like 20 a.m. ports on it, plugged into one of those for all those external drives. It's the, the beauty of these stocks. So none of your stuff is USBc the monitors? No. No drives? No, those are all old.

Okay, now I will be buying an enclosure, I'm sure with another M2 drive or whatever, that is the fastest to add external fast storage. Yeah. This year I've been buying these, M2 enclosures for about 50 bucks on Amazon. They're really good. Just USBc to, m2, which would be the ultimate for speed. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And then if you wanted to I mean, that's quite a bit of money right now, but there's a couple of manufacturers that make, M2 when you go, NAS systems. Vitamin B? Yes.

Systems. Oh, yeah. Good. Good call. I'm glad I still able to read my mind. Yes. Even as I take my vitamin B pill right there. I saw that somebody had come out with a thing like the size of a shoe box. Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah. That had. Well, it would, had it was like $75,000, but the amount of storage this thing had, and it was like you're talking about the one that Linus had probably. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this one is cheaper.

I saw, I mean, they were both thinking about getting them, but it's about the size of a shoe box. But it's, I think seven drives or nine drives that you can put in there. I think they actually have two versions. One is like four and one is like 7 or 9, and, it uses very little power. It's super fast. You've got a ten gig Ethernet. And I want to say it was 799 like that. Obviously you'd have to put your own drives in like there's a Tera master on, on the Amazon.

I've seen eight terabytes, m2. So this is a eight bay all SSD, and there's NAS server, although it's SSD, I don't think that's, the, chances it has. This is awesome to just say SSD, just as a snow. But there are I'm looking here. It's, no install SSD or expand Ram in two minutes. And it looks like there the SSD is going in. So okay, just load it up all the little drives you can get. This is the, the learning curve on all of it. Then it says in synergy Synology makes a m2 NAS.

More and more people are. I've got the, I've got a Synology. What is mine like 12 drive one. Now that's overkill. I need that though. Yeah. It's overkill I mean that I know it well because I've got years ago, I've got three, 4 or 5 bay NAS is and the one has two external. All four is plugged into that. Okay. Synology or something else. That one Qnap I do have one Synology, which is a 4 in 1 with old Western Digital, which is still geez, chicken along man. Click click click it along.

It's all the tech gear you need. That's where you gotta boost the show. Bigly. All the tech gear costs. So I'm gonna go look at the Synology right now. So much money because I also have a Synology wireless thingy more B 12. And so what's the wireless thing you think? You know, USB port aux the hub. Yeah, yeah, it does everything. It's good. It runs well. The reason I got it is because just runs the same software.

So it's easy to like if you have one Synology product, you know how to run them all. I was surprised at the ease of transferring Thunderbird, the email client. So I installed that on the Mac. Oh my God, do you still use an email client? Dude, I've got no domains. I have. It's like, it's just easier. You should just use Apple Mail. No, it's actually better. It's all so everything's better with apple cider. That's what he is, not a paid, believe it or not. Not a paid spokesman for Apple.

Or are you that we need to disclose this? Is that your new gig? Apple evangelist? You've been meaning the Apple evangelist. Yes. If he can move. I know he's machine evangelist. I was like, but my first computer was an apple. Mine was a tier 80 color computer, but my second computer was an apple to me. Mine was, Macbeth. Was it apple TV plus? Was there an Apple TV plus? I think there was. They like the. These were around for a long time. Then there was to see there may have been a TV.

Plus, I might have bet, but all you had to do at that point, once you installed it, was find the profile folder and copy that and boom, it just like it was always on this machine. I still have to get used to the what means closed and what means exit and what means still open. And if any of that really makes a difference with the way the Apple system works, I have to do the main thing for wanting the other keyboard is I can't get used to the fact that the windows key is now command.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Right. That control command. So it's like well it's not. No. The windows key is the option key. The control is control and the alt is command. So confusing. But command is what you use instead of control the PC, even though it's in a different place. Right. It's really easy. You just get used to both of them. Well, here's the thing.

When because I was the beautiful thing of being able to have your old machine remote desktop didn't do, was if there were things like when I was setting up for it to stream this live, I was just cutting and pasting the settings from mics on the windows machine into here. But of course, when you're in the windows window, well then you need to hit control.

So you have control C in there. But then you get out and you're like you want to hit control V. And it's like, why the fuck is this working? Oh yeah, I gotta go to command V, right. Completely different. Which again you realize this is the original. Yeah, I get it. Is that when Microsoft did it they didn't want to get sued. So they moved it to be control V right now in my system.

And the, the CPU percentages don't really make sense the way that the activity monitor shows it, because that's not really is it shows like Adobe Audition 81.6, and I'm assuming that is of the single core that it's using, because otherwise idle is 82% for the machine. Yeah. Now if that over, if that gets to the point where that's overtaxing, the one core does that you it's it. That's not how it works, dude. It's a different thing. So it's all dynamically allocated.

So there is software that is poorly written and uses. Only one core exists. But any real commercial product is going to be using all the course. And it's it's going to be up to the, the operating system to decide what how to balance that. Does it share all cores with all other products? Does it want to just give it, one core to use if it's really low usage? And there's also two types of cores on that chip.

So it's going to balance out whatever it thinks is the appropriate core for the appropriate action the machine or the software is taking. So but for what I'm doing right now, which is a very basic thing that I do, it is using 17 gigs of memory, which the base system only comes with 16. I up to to 24. That doesn't seem like a lot of headway. It's, Well, let me let me look here. What am I using? I am using. So the one I've got is 16, and it's using 27%.

And, the CPU is sitting at, right around 86% idle. So 14% usage genes. Mac mini. Is it M2? Yeah. And then I like that the energy, the amount of power yours is them for. Yes. Oh it's so quick man. The 12 hour power man I think it's three times faster than mine if I remember their charts well, it's amazing when they based upon what their older machines have done like yeah man drew our buddy bought the M two studio, so I don't know. Oh. The studio.

Yeah, it was fancy the the bat version of the chip. You know, whether because I know that was what, like the max of the ultra they call these things. Right. So it was one of those. But I believe the base like four is just as fast as, like what, the M2. Super duper. Hey, why don't you reach out to Pancho and he'll tell you how to use a mac? I did, I'm like, what software do I need these? I have the Rogue Amoeba and, oh, you don't need rogue amoeba. Jesus Christ, dude. Rogue Omega.

Rogue amoeba does everything. I'm not sponsored by rogue. Omega broke up against that rogue Amiga. Rogue Amiga. It's the best that you can buy a rogue. Give me a good pasta. Actually, we are sponsored by that. That's our rogue amoeba brand. Now you do. I got everybody. Yeah, yeah, that's the, I've got it. I've got that product. It's just not necessary right now. So I don't use. Bytes written. Brave browser. You know that this thing I recommend you get if you want to see more details of things.

Things and stuff. I like things and stuff I know. Right. So it is a, what is this thing called? It's called I stat my menus, I stat menus and, I've had it forever, probably 15 years. And it basically shows in the menu bar, especially on the big monitor. You got plenty of menu bar space. It shows you all kinds of you can select what stats you want memory, CPU, GPU, disk drives, network, all the sensors. If it's a laptop, battery power shows you all that stuff.

So you can see the little things moving up and down and back and forth. Well, that's the beauty, too, of the, stream deck. Having the that. The only thing I've seen, though, is the CPU. As far as, this is my new keyboard shows the CPU and GPU, so it's awesome. I, I think it's great. It's a subscription service for Mac apps. Yeah. 999 a month. Yeah. When I bought it, it was like 50 bucks for life. Damn. I see, so what you're saying is the just the one thing it's real worth it.

I will also mention for anybody interested, you know, just from an educational standpoint, not from a, you know, from a very rhetorical standpoint, point piracy seems way easier on the Mac. Way easier. Seems like there's way less issues. I just don't think people really care about piracy on the Mac. So there's a thriving community. I'm sure there is a thriving community of college students and people in their late 40s. And, yeah, I'm sure there is it just for fun.

I did it because I have, like, way too many, on my, subscription with Bitdefender. I did install that on the Mac two just for fun. Don't need it, I know. Yeah. Now we're going to say that you don't need it. But I'm just intrigued by it. Well, to throw everything I can at this machine, see if I can break actually you know, since you're going to be running all kinds of pirated shit and going to pirate websites, maybe you do need to. It's like there you go. You never know.

Yeah. It doesn't seem to be taking up any. That's the other. Not really I guess. Interesting thing, but where Bitdefender was always when you looked at the process monitors on the windows machine, some man that was always doing something on the Mac, it's like, where is it? It's just sitting there somewhere in the back, like, yeah, I don't got much to do. Yeah. You're not you're not running Kaspersky Security. No, no I did, I did at one point. Then the Russians became bad.

It was no that's right the Russians bad. That's right, I forgot. I'm sorry it wasn't Kaspersky. There was back in the day, I was running Nod32. And I built a new machine and immediately after installing Nod32 it blue screen. And of course, I went through the usual, like, double checking everything else because it was a brand new machine. So there could be a lot of reasons to blue screen like, is it the is it the CPU, is it the memory, is it the motherboard? No, just switched to, Bitdefender.

I think it was. And everything was then fine. So never went back to that. I don't know if I've ever used Kaspersky. Maybe like way, way, way back in the day. Before it was really probably needed. But now, no, it's Bitdefender. And Bitdefender has worked really well over a variety of things. I will say the one other thing here. Here's a question for everybody too. How do I get the clock, which shows, the Apple taskbar, to show seconds, very easily you need to buy this product called a chat menu.

It shows you seconds in the clock very easily. Just this is the Apple thing for everything. How do you how do you make it do this? Oh, very easily. Just buy a new program. It literally I can send you screenshot. It's got seconds. But the white also move it. Why is everything buy a new pro gram. I mean, Apple's got the widget. Oh my God, why is the world all about trading money for things you need? Who invented capitalism? Fuck that shit. Let's all be communists. Why isn't it just built it?

Let's get stuff for free that somebody else does and then we don't pay for it. Good idea. The Apple widget wants to show me the seconds. It's like an old watch with the little, little ticks going around, and it's like my eyes suck. I want something nice and easy. And for most people, it's like a, Apple vision professional kit. There's got to do something there. Yeah, it I neither it makes everything on the screen bigger. Yeah. That's it.

But it's not going to show me any more of the, the update was installed. Good. That's good. Update. For most people, the seconds don't matter. But when you're running on a stream, maybe, and you got a tabbed off at the right at the top of the screen speaking. And I don't know if you can see this because, you know, stream deck buttons are not very big. I have those on my stream deck. I have the clocks with the seconds. I have four different clock related things on the stream deck.

Is there a digital one with seconds? Yes, yes, there's an analog one with seconds and it also has digital mode. Same one does digital mode, and then I have UTC time, which I use for everything. I'm a big UTC guy and then I have two timers that are pushbutton timers that I use quite regularly for calculating things like profits from a particular mineral mining expedition in the video game and things like that. Oh yeah. Okay, you know what made me want to also blow my head off?

Starting one of your videos talking about mining for plutonium or platinum or something, right? What was wrong with that? I'm just like, what the fuck is this all about? Let's add the funny thing is, starting with Windows 11, it says that showing seconds takes more power on windows. I'm like at this question is how the fuck does that really take more power? I like that there's a very valid question. I mean, I guess it's technically changing pixels, but you which power is that taking?

Yeah, negligible. But they're going to be like, well, this is why we're removing this from this. It's probably more to do with the fact that windows just estimates everything. And if you want seconds, it's going to have to do the actual math rather than estimating. And they don't want to do that. Well, I mean, it takes power. Bill gates is always mining for Bitcoin of your PC, I'm sure. Yes. This guy I gotta think he got rich. He's been mining bitcoin since the 70s.

This is the ultimate bot system. All of your computers. Bill gates is like, you don't have to wonder because on the Mac you will see things like 86% idle regularly. Yeah, I've never seen that on the PC. My PC would be doing literally nothing and it's using like 65% of its resources. I also like on the Mac. That's one thing they do well, I, one of the things was a program called Lulu, but there's also ones I called Little Snitch.

I mean, not just if you're doing things that may be illegal, but it monitors at any time and tries to access the internet. It's like, do you really want this? Yeah, it's like a manual firewall. It's so annoying. It could be. But yeah, for some things, maybe it's put this way. If it doesn't bother you all the fucking time, you don't need it. Period. If it is bothering you all the time and you actually need it, it's annoying as hell. Don't do a legal thing.

You options here do not do illegal things on your computer. So the NSA does not want to take a look at you. But what other software? What do I need? I mean, if you're on a mac, what is like the main thing? You're like, oh, you gotta have this. Besides AI stuff reviews, edge browser is what you really want. The edge browser, yeah, it's the best browser out there right now. Why is it better than fixed rate anti advertising crap? It so does it blocks all the ads.

Is it better than brave you think. Way better. Way better than brave. And I've got brave install. I have all three browsers installed, but edge does a better job. There are more than one of its best features, you know, for all those websites that say, oh, you should. You should subscribe to us and pay us money because we're a real news organization, right? Which you shouldn't be here for free, right? It takes care of all that crap, gets rid of it.

I mean, it just shows you what you want to see or. Yeah, it just shows you what you want to see. It has the best, voice. So for, you know, blind people, so you can listen to a website in a a ton of different tones. I prefer Natasha speaking to me, of course. Sounds very, very Russian. Ukrainian, actually. Oh. But, it's it's a very, it's a very good browser. I mean, I don't know who Microsoft hired. You know, Microsoft doesn't have their own products anymore.

They hire different developing companies to develop for them. As I'm sure you heard about Microsoft Flight SIM and the know what happened with the failure of that launch? That happened? No. Was released. Really? It's just now just a few days ago. And, so they apparently. Well, two things.

One, unlike the previous version, it has to be connected to the network to, to work because it's downloading all the visuals as you're flying around, like, it doesn't actually come with everything pre-installed the way it is. And they sell this to you like it'll use less disk space. Come on. It does actually use less this space. I would hope if it's downloading all this stuff is you need it, right?

Right. But I mean, I would imagine it uses a lot more energy because you're having to download the same thing for millions of people all the time. Well of course, yeah. But yeah, yeah. Anyway, the, you know, then I got a, Tesla joke about this, and it's got, it was launched and people found that they could run the program, but they couldn't. The program couldn't connect to the server because the servers couldn't handle the load, because there was millions of people trying to connect.

And apparently they had only stress tested with 20,000 concurrent connections. Oops. Oops. For probably one of the largest franchises of Microsoft products. Microsoft games for sure. In history, they decided that, oh, yeah, we won't have more than 20,000 people wanting to play this on day one, will we? Yes. It's craziness. Craziness. A lot of people are complaining about that right now.

Then I can see, I am actually holding off on that product because, I remember the last time Microsoft, like some came out and, it's always better just to wait a few months. So maybe next year that that says he has somebody that recommends Alfred on the Mac. So the award winning app which boosts your efficiency with hotkeys, keywords, text expansion and more. This sounds like one of those spyware apps that monitors all your keystrokes. I wouldn't go there too.

I we like I always ran AutoHotkey on my machine, but that was, okay. But that was also something that does not have a mac. I know this may be it. I didn't really look for, The, the alternative keyboard. Let's see. I guess we'll go with the edge browser just because I want to see how much better it is. I think it's way better. I mean, if G recommends it, he wants a Microsoft Pro. He loves the Apple machine, but he wants a Microsoft product. Yeah, dude, it's because I run everything.

I have Apple, I have Android, I have windows, and I make the best use of all of these products. I just don't do Trans Linux. That's all I do. I want to help Microsoft improve their products by sending optimal. I know hell no. Let somebody else help them. Like no, thank you very much. Your download will begin shortly. It has again, once you install it, of course, it's going to have to kill all the other browsers. But don't worry about that. That's all. Fine. It's like it's totally.

It's the mind control. We will take over everything. Throw that into downloads.

Now I will have to, go in, in Microsoft Edge. Ooh, fence. And at some point, it's going to ask you if you'd prefer not to advertising. But it's going to try to sell me shit while it's installing. No, no, no, it's going to ask you whether you want to enable the ad blocking by saying or would you prefer to not see advertising either? So let's see. Yeah, I just installed yesterday and I'm on my, Android devices here and then put your password in writing files.

Yeah, that's the advertising that's different on that nest. Do you want Nazi advertising though? Do you want to not. Oh, that's only for German people. That's only for German people do. We don't even have to worry about that. In the U.S that is a feature. The software was now installed. Welcome to edge Bell to Bell today. Do I want a ledge help at. I need the brush. Yes. The edge help. Or do I want that to connect to the internet. Yes sure. Well obviously I mean sure.

Going to take my pills to, let's see here. And of course, the one the other thing I like, since I use robo form for my password management, is it automatically is like, oh, you want to add this? Like, well, yes, I do. Do I want to sign in to sync data? No, no, because user of a form, if you were using the browser itself you can sync data. And then all I do is that because it's convenient having my, you know, look up a website on my phone and then walk over to the PC and be able to open that.

Oh, would you like personalized ads? No. There you go. No. Definitely not. No personalized ads. No, I do not. Do you want it? That's my default browser. No. Yes. No. Yes. Absolutely. Do I want to import any data? No no no. Faster. Express yourself by customizing. Oh, yeah, I will, but not yet. No. There's the simultaneous sip. Nice. Of course, nobody else was doing it, so it really wasn't simultaneous. No, I didn't take a sip of anything.

You are to drinking, coffee, which I brought some coffee down an hour ago. And this is the first sip that I've had while I'm taking it for a while. No kind of to the this. So it's still you're drinking metaphor with coffee. That is so fucked up, dude. While using a mac mini album is a decaf at least. No to Colombian Rose baby. Meta pro. I'm decaffeinated this week. I had coffee last week, and I suck at it again, you know? What do you like? I can't drink coffee anymore.

You just want to be, You want to be decaf? I don't know what's. It's like headaches. I don't want to get headaches. So I'm not going to drink. Definitely coffee. And I have some decaf beans that I bought that that are ready to be put in the espresso machine. So I'm. You ground your own. Okay? At least now we can quit. Edge. We have edge. I have a machine, dude. Well, your fancy, I just buy the really cheap Maya K-Cups, and I took my coffee that way. Now I have a real, Italian espresso machine.

I mean, you probably have a guy to come in and make it for you to write that. No, no, I haven't made it for a while. I don't use it all that much. But when I remember when I first got it, I got it. When I think it when when I moved to the South. And, I remember after Adam Curry was over the. Oh, nice name drop, and you're like, Adam's my friend. No, no, no, this is a story. It's shortly after, I moved here. I made him an espresso, and then he was like, damn, this is real.

Yeah. And then next time I came over to his house, he had one of these machines. So he profit the exact same machine that I had. And he was like, Gino's coffee. Yeah, literally. That used to not exist. And now he doesn't. He doesn't even smoke cigars, drink coffee, drink alcohol, doesn't do any of those things anymore. You're like, Jean was a lot more fun back in the day. So much more fun. You should have seen him on fucking blow, man. He was I was, yeah. I wasn't doing podcasts back there.

Oh, that's because you would have been the Ben Shapiro of your day. That if you're like, I blow. I mean, that's what the only reason I explain how you're talking really fast radio. You got to get your ideas or you don't know what you're saying. People like what they say. I don't like talking. Really? I said, you realize that we do it well, especially when you play them back at 150% rate. That really screws with the people. Hey, you can order a Taylor Swift.

Tortured Poets Society globe snow globe for only $50. Yeah, that will probably go up after that one. Yeah, that's not like three days. You know, what are you selling? And I posted this on acts, but you never know, I really don't you don't really follow me. I, I follow I don't see many of your posts. They're not recommended to me, but like, well, that's there's a good reason for that. Follow you. There's a good reason for that. There is. Do you have any video game posts?

No, I do see what it's recommended to me. Right. I do not have to put that into a video game. Then I would probably get recommendations for me on one of the new items in. This just shows you the capitalist bitch that Taylor Swift is a candle eight ounce candle. So a small candle. That I looked up similar things because I don't buy candles on Amazon.

You can buy these maybe 10 to $15 if you want to buy them wholesale like you know a few dozen at a time, like five bucks, $50 because it has her name put on the outside of the candle. That's fucking crazy. I know this is a cult, dude. This is not like music fans. This is literally a cult. I mean, we need unrelenting candles. If we can buy $5 candles and just put the unrelenting sticker on it and be like $50, please. You need that. But it smells like the interior of Jean's favorite spaceship.

Burnt bread is that what the inside of your spaceship smells like? That's what the inside of every spaceship smells like. And the Billy Bone says Taytay is bigger than Elvis. And that may be true. Now there was, I saw the article. Oh, she's she's managed to become bigger than, has been drug addict. Congratulations. Oh, I mean, Elvis still does millions of dollars a year. That's his estate, I know, which probably if I use the usual, things, you want the filtering, you won't even hear that.

Which is why I have to stop use.

I gotta wait half an hour just to not hear the slow clap. Right. You don't want to hear the slow clap. But there was an article, and all these things are bullshit on the internet. But it was like things that are losing value. The first was obvious stamps. I mean, unless you actually want to use them to send things in the mail, well then you're fucked. But for like stamp collecting, nobody does that anymore.

No, no, because you know what that means though, is since nobody does that anymore, you know, over time they're going to get crazy valuable, right? Because that always happens when nobody does something for it. It's like vinyl records. There was a point you could have bought everybody's collection for five bucks. Yeah. And then what it's like without a sale. Yeah. That it's like, now you could sell it for a thousand. But what's the other thing other that was losing value?

It was Beatles and Elvis memorabilia because yeah, yeah, it was always crap. I don't know why people bought it. Well, again, that was something to collect, but again, why they buy it. There's a who knows, but there's a market, but you're dying off. It's just like my dad loves him. Some, Ted Williams, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, played for the Red Sox back in the day.

Was a pilot that went and lost a few, years of his career going in to serve in the military is one of the greatest hitters of all time in baseball. But like you just said, who's that? There's way too many people now that never even heard the name. So if you're collecting stuff it's like it's all going down. Yeah. The concept is everything's going to get more expensive as it gets older is not true. Well, things that no one wants don't get. Did you know this was evident with books when I go?

Yeah, I have tons of books. I had like four bookcases for books and before. Well, every move. I always bitched about just how retarded is moving books. Because they're heavy. Heavy, heavy. Yeah. It's very good that it's very command. And and they charge more for movers when you have a lot of books. So when I, when I decided to move to Austin, I said, I'm not going to bring any books, I'm going to get rid of all my books. And a lot of people are like, whoa, yeah, how can you do that?

Well, I've read them all. Okay, so these are all books that I've read, not books that I bought and haven't read. So I, I went to the book. Oh, yeah. You book store. That's like, I'll give you $0.13 a book, sir. That was a bit of a rude awakening. So I've got, like, you know, boxes that probably retail. What I paid for them are probably around 100 bucks per box of books at least. Maybe a couple hundred bucks depending, but somewhere between 100 and $200 a book. So they, they go, oh yeah. Yeah.

So let me see. Let me get you an estimate on these. And then I see the guy pick up the box, put it on the scale, and it says, all right, so let's, this one's 26 pounds. So we'll give you, let's see. They'll be $6.24. You're like, what? You're not going to even look at the titles. What they are. They don't care about the titles. They're they're all going to get recycled. It doesn't matter.

I mean, they'll look through them if anything jumps out at them as being worthwhile, they'll save it and try and sell it. But generally, all the books that they buy, most of the books they buy are going to go to the recycling plant. Oh, so they're basically just going to make a few cents per box on recycling them. Oh, sir, you have an autographed first edition of Harry Potter. We'll give you a dollar for that one. That's exactly like it's not worth any more than that. So okay.

Hey, for the signed first edition of Harry Potter would be thousands of dollars only to crazy people like you. Well, I'm not mad because I've never read it, but I know there are people who are not you. Then. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, my point is. So I felt really bad, but I was like, well, I, I kind of promised myself I wasn't going to move these though. So I had to schlep four bookcases worth of books in boxes there.

And after getting and probably a grand total of about $100 off these books, I had about six six crates of books left. And, I was too tired in that scene. And so I came over the next day, which was a weekend. And there's a line of like five people all wanting to get rid of their books. Oh, yeah. And now I have to wait in line to get my $6 per box of books. It's that. Hey, so I've just finally said, you know what? I'm going to donate these last six to you guys. Congratulations.

I just walked out of the store before they could tell me I can't donate them. Right. Well, you can get the hell out of there. Take them to a school where if anybody could use them. Nobody wants the books. Nobody or nobody, y'know. No bueno. But really, if you're ever in anyone's physical books, if you know what they are, they're problematic because they they they show they have the truth. That's right. They show what actually happened. And we don't like that. We like to be able to use Wikipedia.

The biggest benefit of Wikipedia is it can be modified as time passes to reflect the truth of the past in a way that's convenient for today. I will say, if you're ever going to use bookstore and you see somebody walking in with a big box like Gene's talking about, if you want some entertainment to stick around the, where they're looking at them and telling them what they'll give them, because usually they'll look at their faces. Like what? That's all gotta be worth more than that.

Yeah. No, they're really not. And I was I was glad that I donated all my sci fi books to a friend that took them. And then he said that, you know, either he was going to keep them or he's going to give them to a library or something. And, because I got rid of probably a couple of hundred books that way. But most of the books I had that I kept bringing with me and finally got rid of it before I moved here. Most of them were nonfiction stuff.

And, so, you know, I mean, well, there's very few books that are collectible and worth money, and I think most people so that actually read, which I know that's still a fairly small number. Most people don't know how to read anymore. The for the ones that do, though, I think a lot have gone to the e-readers, whether it's the Kindle or whatever other brands there are. Yeah, yeah.

I mean there's and I know I'm generalizing here, but I think the trend is very much this that, people don't read fiction anymore. The only fiction that is still being sold and made money, is the women's romance novels. Oh, yeah. Because they're coming out every week because that's pornography. And so that still makes money. What I'm just doing the porno, though, is bound to. Oh. Oh, yeah, the porno.

Yeah. Yeah. So those are still being published, but really most people are they they read on the internet if they read at all. And the number of people that actually want to take the time to read a book is a fraction of what it was 30 years ago. It's a tiny number because the internet was not a an alternative to reading for your time back then. Now it is. But I will say that of the Zoomers, many of them just don't read, period.

They they will either listen to audiobooks if they have to, or they'll look at memes, but they won't actually read something that's, oh my God, 200 pages. Who has time to read that? That's crazy. That's the you're you're crazy, man. So I think the days of books are coming to an end. I think we're, we're the saturation point with written words. We are the Idiocracy society. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's that's a nonfiction, pep documentary. Things that happen when the planet goes the way it is.

Education, man. Well, and especially with a. Yeah, you just literally never need to read ever again there. Yeah. I for everything. Yeah. What is Tom Sawyer? You are not wrong. Well, beyond that, it is correct more than not. I should send you the, transcript of me setting up my Mac. You don't think I was going to chat? GPT every time? Like, how do I do this? And then it spits out the answer, the wrong answer. Clear. No, no, it shouldn't be telling you to use any amoebas on your Mac.

No, that was man, drew. He's not a di. What do you think? Van drew actually replies, you know, he punches your question into the eye and has that spit it out. That would be great. That's the best way to go about it. A lot of people don't even know this. We are both eyes now that the Mac minis have Apple AI built right in there. Apple intelligence we don't even need to do the podcast anymore. The devices will just do the podcast. They will. We still need the boost.

You still need the boost. You still need the boost. I can't believe only TSB has boosted for this fine bottle. I believe it, you know, boosting requires the ability to read them. People don't have that anymore and I don't believe anybody. Let me double check or go into a go into Thunderbird. And I will say what other thing Apple does better moving between monitors, especially since I have different sized monitors, is resizing the app to fit way more intuitive that the windows machines are?

Yeah, so I just asked grok to what do I need to know to prove that I read The Huckleberry Finn? Oh, you want me to prove that you've read Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain? Here are some key elements you should be familiar with. Characters. Finn the protagonist. The boy who lives a life of freedom adventure. Jim, a runaway slave who becomes a friend and companion on the river. Tom Sawyer, Huck friend, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

And then plot, setting, story set along the Mississippi River before the Civil War, Huck takes his own, takes his own death to escape from his father, and sets off on the raft with Jim, who's escaping slavery. Oh, they're both escaping themes of freedom, themes of moral growth, racism, slavery, key events, raft journey, Duke and the on steam farms. Jim's capture the Phelps farm. So literally it's a one page summary of Huck Finn that tells you everything you need to know. Why would you read?

Welcome, Tom to relenting where Gene reads CliffsNotes and people like where CliffsNotes. You can't use the word CliffsNotes that is trademarked using grok to not CliffsNotes. The last payment received for unrelenting was 11 one. So no. Wow. That's that's been a little while. Yeah, yeah. I mean, people, your crypto was going way, way, way up. Share a little. Come on. Well, trips going up. No one's going to send crypto now. That's so we're so like this is this is like this is the catch 22.

The whole, that whole ordeal as well as the,

we talked about this, not on the show. I mean, Gene and I do shows all the time without doing shows. The. You mean on the on the private episode? We did write the get Alby thing going away. Yeah. Yeah. Is going to be very inconvenient for the podcasters who make a lot of money. The streaming Satoshi's. Oh, you have to run your own node. Okay. I'm an asshole. That does. But most people are not going to want to do that. So I instruct how podcast like unrelenting get more money, more donations.

Did I say go to YouTube. It says monetization platforms such as Patreon use platforms like Patreon where listeners can become monthly patrons. PayPal coffee and buy me a coffee all implement donation buttons where you can, directly on your website where you can contribute to the podcast value proposition, exclusive content, writing episodes, early access to content or special episodes only for donors. All the stuff that the pod father hates. Yeah, literally word for word.

Everything he says that's suggesting. If you want to make some money, hide some content. But that really shouldn't have donations. Interactive elements. Don't say he likes this. Some platforms allow for donations to trigger sound effects or messages during live stream. Yes. As noted in unrelenting show itself which can make the act of donating fun and interactive. Yes, look at that. It actually told us what's in our show. Pew pew! Is that ridiculous? Yeah, it's grok baby.

Audience incentives offer shout outs on the podcast. Personalize thank you notes, or even having donors names in episode credits. But again, how about offer not to shout them out of the episode? Oh, that would be better. Yeah, yeah, you don't want us to mention you, Tom.

Tom simplified the donation process, ensuring that the nation is straightforward with clear instructions, platforms that are user friendly and secure to avoid determining potential donors such as PayPal due to complexity and security of other platforms. I think a lot of people just do not donate to the show because they don't like they don't like it. I think they don't. Well, I don't know about Russians, but I think that, people that that listen to this show are a very particular type of,

listener. Let's see. Tom, Tom ski, ice cube soup. Wait, Thorne. That and, the what do these people have in common? No agenda. Millennial. Oh, they all hate Russians. I know Billy Bonds. Yeah, well, those all do. So I guess that parties. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You're right, you're right. That's what it is. That part seems legit. The monetizing though was I mean, it was moving in the right direction. I thought with the with the Satoshi's. Maybe they'll figure something else out.

But this, is a here I I've, you know, I've talked to you about this before, like, and, private episodes, but, I always thought that the idea of having a built in mechanism podcast that allows you to make donations based on the time listened was a very good idea. Oh, yeah. I just didn't think the execution was particularly good. And they could be pivoted, if you will. I mean, the Satoshis are still a great way to here's I just I yeah, yeah.

Satoshi they shouldn't know I what I thought would be an easier way or a way that makes obvious sense to people do it. And I know I'm, I'm kind of, you know, I'm the show that follows this show. I'm going the opposite direction here. But again, I'm not I'm not saying the idea of having time donation is bad. That's a great idea. I just think the app should make it somewhat like up. You scale it so you don't have to interact with it. It just says, hey, this show called I don't know, unrelenting.

That's a good. Would you like what what dollar amount per hour listened. Do you feel like you'd like to make a donation? What would be inappropriate? And certainly somebody says it's a buck in our rate. The podcast app tracks over the course of one month how many total hours you've listened to that show and then it sends that information either by popping it up on its own screen or if you've set up a recurring payment system to PayPal and says, hey, send these guys $3.26.

Yes, PayPal takes a cut of that, but that cut is not that big. It is like 7% or something. What do you weigh less than it's way less than YouTube takes, which is slow. Yeah. 30% or Twitch which they take 40%. So by comparison PayPal is very good. And you can say yes, but satoshis take no cut. Well there is, it's a smaller but it's a very small cut. But also do but it's a pain in the ass for users, right. But for them that want to use it, offer it as an option within the same.

And it's also a pain in the ass for non users. It's just a general pain in the ass for everybody because you have to go through all these extra steps. You have to or you have to refill your sats from using some service. Other people come to me. And a bigger cut, incidentally, than what PayPal takes. Like it literally costs you more to buy Bitcoin. Well, I don't know. Well, you can buy cheaper. You know, you can you can get Bitcoin cheaper but you can get satoshis direct. Yeah you can do it.

But all those things have bigger cuts that are subtracted out than what PayPal does just for sending us dollars. Like the argument that satoshis are cheaper is an invalid argument. Well, what you need is a way that somebody can install an app that has the wallet. That is not any other thing that's like, oh, you have to totally mirror the blockchain and do all this other stuff. And it always has to be running.

And, and I think the idea that, well, yeah, but the satoshis are being sent literally like every second, which is why you can't do it with PayPal. You got to be it has to be. Yeah. But you never have had to do it. I've literally had this conversation with the guys after they started podcasting 2.0 on their, what do you call it, the, their, their board chat thing. What a show. Podcasting 2.0 is what it's called. No, no, no, I know, but no, the, what's the thing?

We all used to be on that. Nobody's on any. Because this matter, it's like Twitch or like, like Twitter. What am I thinking of? Oh, yeah. The fat averse. Yeah. That thing like that, that's that's a star Trek. Come on September. So like Covid era at this point. So I'm that thing on the offers on their their platform.

I don't there's like the fed I don't think I don't think the need that there's a huge need from a listener standpoint to be sending things continuously every few seconds, a fraction of a cent at a time. All you got to do is just track that in the app. The if you if you like a podcast app, there's no reason that you can't just say, okay, podcast app either gets authenticated with PayPal or you do a one time $20 transfer from your PayPal to this apps. PayPal, and then the app once a month.

After calculating tracking all the amount of time you've listened to each show just sends that and the address where to send that in literally. Your PayPal email address can be embedded in their RSS feed. Like this is doable with today's technology. Right now this. But I think a big part of the podcasting 2.0 thing isn't about the money. Obviously, because people can do and they do like one Satoshi a minute. The which is that's listening to a lot of bullshit.

And I've had those conversations too, like but the reality is just people crossing the network more than you're putting in. Right? But you're getting the data. The podcaster is getting the data as far as you can see when somebody stops listening because you have all of that information. So I think this was more about data. I mean, the great that's nice that you're getting funds in as well, but you're seeing when people are listening, you know, when they're tuning out.

Yeah, I think you can tell if they're listening to the same section over and over again, you know, all this kind of stuff. If you're looking for that kind of data.

But it's nicer just to get it on a, monthly thing for the shows that you listen to. I mean, the portion that people argue there is that. Well, what if I stop listening? Well, that's where the the whole thing kicking in. Only if you listen. Although I think that would be easy as well, you know. Okay. If I want to write this code, but you don't need to do it at prep if you want to do it by the time it's really easy. So. Okay, I had lots of time last two weeks.

This week I have no time to listen to anything, and therefore I don't pay anything for this week. And so the total amount and at the end of the month it'll be for three weeks, not four weeks, because I skipped the week because I was too busy. And it's all automatic and I don't have to think about it versus just a flat payment per week or per month or per episode. Because I like tracking this way forward. Oh, what's on the live stream right now? Why are you in the control room? Get out.

What's on the live stream? What you said that way. Thorne. I don't know what that is. It's a guy, I guess. I mean, I don't know, Carl something. It's you entity in the troll room. Okay, well, process this. This, conversation is when people are tuning out, and that way Thorne's doing a now playing. This is unrelenting. Are you not listening to. Is it live? Well, okay, obviously you're not fucking listening, because then you would know it's live because we're fucking talking about you.

Wait, Thorne. It's probably delayed, you know? No, it's like five seconds. How. What do you think the laser. You think we're bouncing this up to Starlink? Probably. What do you think? We're not. It's just what he lost. Likely scenario. Everybody in the troll world tell wait Thorne to fuck off. Come on. How about if you could all do it at once? He'll be really scared. God, everybody be like, wait, don't fuck off. This is this is. This is so ridiculous.

It's like the throne room to begin with is already already more crazy people than Reddit. And now you're telling these crazy people that, hey, there's a guy who's even crazier than you each time. Fuck! Hey, we just do the show for ourselves. The fact that nobody does it, I sure as hell do because I don't make any money off of it. So, yeah, it's definitely for myself. Yeah, it's my it's my weekly chat with you. They want to get out. Blue Sky. Can you help me get a blue sky?

Yeah, I can send an invite to that. Just send me your, your email off or didn't invite. So he does have blue sky. So, if he wants kids that that if you want just let him see. USB also has blue sky. You can ask him. Blue sky is shining on me. No. Yeah. It's the it's it's the liberal. X. Well, yeah. Nice to troll liberals. I did see, Mark Cuban. Who is he? Was he talking to? Was was it? So why did you think it was either Stephen King or. Yeah, Michael Moore, one of them. Yeah.

He said they're all the same, but they're like, oh, this blue sky just becoming a cesspool. And Mark Cuban's like, don't you want to actually converse with people who have different viewpoints than you? If not, then you're the fucking problem. The blue sky does not have people other than people like me who are there to troll conversing. It is just liberal Twitter, that's all blue Sky is. That's not a great selling point. Yeah. Why do you think it's called blue Sky?

But because it was the Twitter thing was all blue. And then I'm telling you, because the little bird flying through the sky, Jack Dorsey does not have a whole lot of good ideas. He had one. And then he was like, what do I call the new one then? Oh, I'll just make it look, I'll describe the little icon that was used for the other thing you gave up. If you miss the, FBI not having an office inside of X, then go to blue Sky because they do have an office inside a blue sky.

Well, that's if you need to get to the FBI quickly. That's the place you want to be. Yeah, exactly. Because they will monitor what you say and do and will ban you for it. And do you have to give any, personal identifying info? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Listener count 57. Wow. That's 57 more than I thought we had. What's a listener? You more b 12. I mean, as long as you're listening, I don't give a shit. I'm here. You're here. Somehow it's recording.

Somehow it is streaming somehow this little computer. We got you all. This is actually all prerecorded. We got you. Yeah. We don't even know where you thought. Fuck him. Oh, no no, no, wait. Someone just Darren's alias. Y'all didn't know that, did you? The, This concept of this little apple thing being so crisp and clean. I got so many fucking wires coming out of this thing. It looks anything but clean, because I've actually got the speakers plugged into the headphones three coming out of mine.

You're just doing it wrong, man. Oh, I always do. That is my problem. My, my my wife keeps telling me you're doing it wrong, all right. I have no idea what she means. I'm like, I don't know. I thought I thought I was doing it, okay. No, no, it's like. But why do they put the two things in the front? And then one of the bad things about the apple. Now, I don't know, I don't know, man. Which are we talking. And you're now you're, you're slowly degrading to did name Ben's level of humor. Really.

Oh yeah. Did you not see his just tweet the other day. His ex post where, you know, he's got a video of somebody with an apple, EarPods that had put a little miniature bikini on the the case for the EarPods, and then, you know, with the, the headphones sticking out of it, making boobs, that is probably an exit strategy that we should have looked into. Yeah. And then he's slowly shifting the bikini bottoms to the side to plug in the charging cable.

I was like, oh my God. It's is like frickin junior high school level humor waist or and says, I just tune in to hear Darren oh go apeshit. Well you are at the right episode for that. Also the right show and that wants to know why the power. No. What do you mean the right show. Darren goes apeshit five days a week. Guys you don't have to tune in to this show at all. I do at 70. Went inches other shows. But yeah, you probably do, but you. But they can tune in for five of those seven.

The power button. Where do you what do you do? Seven days of on the podcast now. Now there's nothing that goes and recorded live Saturdays or Tuesdays. And that's what I thought. I thought it was five. I skipped random thoughts this week, so there was no Wednesday because I was neck deep and trying to figure out how to get everything working on this little machine. Yeah, yeah, the power button. I'll tell you what is weird. I'll give you that one big advantage.

That way you never have to turn off the. One of the advantages of the Mac is that it doesn't sit on the floor like my PC. Yeah, so it doesn't require me to lay down on the floor and reach behind the computer to plug in the cable. Oh, I know, I mean, oh, I have to change a video minder. Let me just lay down next to the computer and do it. Well, it's even worse than that because the back of my desk has wood. So the.

It's the computer is sitting in one of them things, you know, that looks like it's a cabinet, you know where it is a cabinet. But instead of drawers. So it's at the side of the computer, the side of that sitting to my side and to get any of the USB cables in or out or the speaker cables in or out, the monitor cables in or out, you have to, like, bend over the fucking desk. It reach behind. This is got to reach around. What? Yeah. It'll get old. Reach around.

And it's like I'm fucking not because I'm lazy and I don't want to move everything off the desk. So I'm leaning over things and trying to get in, and then it's like, you know, it's painful. And then you're like, what the fuck? This shouldn't be so hard. That is the one beautiful thing of having the device accessible right in front of you is that you can plug in and pull out anything without having to do joysticks. You need to, right? I would suggest that's not the only thing you're relying upon.

But no no, no. Yeah, that like that did occur to me as well. Is what a pain in the ass it is to plug things in when the computer itself is not. Yeah. If they want it to do it can immediately the, the motherboard should face the top of a PC case and all the cables should come out of the top of the case. Yes. And then bend around and go back down to wherever they eventually end up. Even better, they do that box well, but that's it. You're just shifting the problem at that point.

You're not solving it, you're just shifting the location of it. I think you are, because you can put that on your desk. That and then everything. Okay. You're going to have one clean cable coming out of a PC on your floor, going up to the floor where you're going to have 20 different cables going out of there. Okay. And that that it's not on the floor. It is in a cabinet which is on the floor while the desk is on the floor. But it's not it's not sitting on the floor.

It's sitting on the whatever cheap press board this is that this thing's made out of. Hey, how do you like my new mic? Boom. Oh, what you get? Well, I just replace the old one with the same brand, but it's, I've got it, moving a lot more now, so my my mic two miles distance ratio should be more consistent. Now, though. I like the mic to mouth distance ratio. Yeah I've got to be mounting your mic though. I've got an extension I've got a. Do you ever watch that. What the on the Howard Stern Show,

the, guest smile thing a, three 320. No. Oh, you gotta find that up. So they'll be looking for it. Yeah. They got the black one there. I have, it's bigger the. Well, they always are. For some reason, the black are 20s are bigger than the great ones. Yeah, they're. I have, some little spare pieces of wood with a couple of heavy duty, Home Depot clamps, which holds my mic, arm holder to the desk.

And then there's an extension, I think, which was a JL extension, which goes up a foot and a half or so. And then I have my, boom, arm plugged into that. So it goes up over the monitor and gets, right where I needed to be. Yeah, mine is the new fashioned kind that that is just above the desk height and then inclines slowly up there. There's nothing above anything. It's all below me. Well, everything is below Eugene. Well, you're you're caviar guy. The recumbent bike club. Jeez. See, there's.

I figured out now that there's almost anything I can say. And you're fine with the recumbent bike for some reason that pokes. That pokes at something a little closer to home. I think it's it's funny because the recumbent bike thing, I get it that it looks weird, right? I get that is your normal bike. You're up high, you're standing up, but you realize that making fun of or coming bike is like making fun of somebody that's in a actual race car and, not a Camry.

So your recumbent bike is like a race car. It's lower to the ground. It was more aerodynamic. It is absolutely more aerodynamic. And the thing and I don't have a common bike, but I used to, which is why you're making fun of me, is because I used to I never because I.

Well. And because Adam Curry made fun of me with my don't make do that. Oh, that's what's hitting home and by the way and and he's the guy that like having to offer a recumbent bike. He had one of the he. No, they're just, but he had one of those Dutch looking bikes, which is basically a girls bike with a big basket on the front. Oh, like two tricycles, but they're like bike size. No, it's not a tricycle. It's a bike.

But it's like the three wheel bikes as a means of, of, you know, movement in the Netherlands. They don't use them for recreational activities. Right. But I've seen like Amish women driving around on those. But they you're bringing the wheels on the back of the story. So I mean, I figured, I thought that would be like, that would be not California that or Pennsylvania Dutch even. Okay. Just regular and regular Dutch and double Dutch.

Yeah. And so he, he's, you know, he he thought that was really cool to have one of those bikes with, the, basket on the front. We got to carry your stuff somewhere, I guess I don't I would charge for that, but. Okay. The. Yeah. Granny bike. Exactly. Tom. Tom ski. It is. Although I did have, saddlebags on my recumbent bike. Now what if you just put a La-Z-Boy. It built that into a recumbent bike. Is that like too bad.

I think Al Bundy have one of those where he had a dream, where he had one that was the ultimate in, comfort La-Z-Boy. I don't know where this comes from. Lazy boys are horrible. They're not comfortable whatsoever. Well, the brand names that everybody knows, pieces of crap. You know, that's just one level above Walmart. And I have a malice there. They never made, Pelletier recliner. Palliser. I think it is. Yeah they do. So, Peter seething. I just never, never liked them.

From sitting at them in the store. I always liked, furniture that wasn't just made of really thick, foam. I like furniture that was has actual springs in it, but, yeah, like beds. I can't stand the memory foam stuff now. Memory foam is way better for beds. I know what you're talking about on that bed with 500 satoshis. That's almost better than CSB. Yeah, and that's still like $0.02. This will be worth millions one day, he says. How do you prove him wrong?

Hey, somebody, sent me, 40, 50,000 doses. Was that worth? About 50 bucks now. Close. Is it right? Yeah. Oh, I should probably mention them. So that was on the other podcast. They do like, wow, where people donate money like Satoshis are going up. And Billy Bowen says, listen to the Rock and roll pre-show every Thursday and Sunday mornings right. And that they just said, or he sent some money to say that. He said that he was reading ads for free.

Now with the ad for Mike show that the bar is way lower, said that that says don't spend it on a fancy record player. Already have one. I don't need to record player. You know what? That whole thing is cheap when compared to the Apple ecosystem. Hey, do you like our computer? You don't even have to use our keyboard. And then you're like, well, I do like the computer. How much is the keyboard? You're like, well, that's like what the computer cost. Why it's on that much. 200 bucks for a keyboard.

Yeah, but okay. But it's the magic, right? That I get it. It is magic. But also you can get other keyboards for 200 bucks. I don't know, you don't have to spend it on the Apple one. I can send you a list of keyboards that are over 200 bucks. That much better, I'm sure, because I don't like the low profile anyway. Yeah, so get the one I sent you. Jesus Christ, I send that to you. It's only a hundred bucks. It's got the back lighted stuff.

You sent me that link on a signal, which is also on my Mac mini. Now, how else did I send? I think you texted it for some reason when I was at the, No, really? The rehab place with my dad. You actually texted. Texted? Yes. You're like, well, that was my mistake. You're like, well, will you still have this number? And I'm like, why are you text oh, it was that okay, let me let me find that. Like why are you doing this to him? He's like, I don't know, I didn't have my B12 today.

Oh that's probably why I could be got to have that B12. Now. I gotta find your your got there Dani I, I'll as they say in Ireland. No I did not. I'm looking here, I did not, I thought it was you. I'll check again on my other machine, because that's the one thing with, signal that I don't like. Any of the old messages don't show up on your new machine, which I understand. That's why they do it. But you're anything this whole security. So you think signal's really safer than anything else?

Absolutely. For Jim uses that to tell his caviar guy right out. Did you get your food order today? I did some food ordering today. Already for next week. I mean, next week is Black Friday on our day, and then all the white shirts will need to me. We might do shirt show you they have enough time to buy things. Yeah. I mean, there is some new Taylor Swift stuff coming out at target. Only target on Black Friday. Oh, exact target. I mean, really, nobody donate to the show anyway.

So if we skip besides Dale from Down Under, he's like, I want you guys to do a show. We're like, oh, we're there. We should actually just do a show just for Dale like this, not to release a dead body. Okay with that, just just instead of uploading the episode, just send an email link today. All right. Hey there. Here's the show we paid for. Here's the show. You're the only one worthy of listening. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. Okay. Oh. That's a display docking station.

I got one of those in station that was $60. That could save money. There was something about that docking station that didn't work. Yeah, it was too cheesy. That too. No, it wasn't that. There was something that was like. It didn't have the it's got Ethernet. It's got three display ports on it. Yeah, but does it need the DisplayPort software? Cause that's the other confusing thing. There are some needs. A DisplayPort driver. Yeah, I may be wrong. $44. It was $44. $44.

You went and bought one for 244. That's good. All right. I mean, like, you can spend money. I don't have any objection to you spending money on this stuff. Just trying to make it all work together. And I will say, I mean, this is, again, kind of like going cold turkey, because the minute I plugged this machine in, I have not gone back and done anything besides going remote in to try to get some information.

I have done everything I need to do on this machine, and it seems to be more than capable. Now it doesn't mean that I might not be like, well, I should have even more, more than capable, which I guess is the beauty. If the, if the new one or what do they call them, studios come out. I might be like, wow, I want the studio, which is means the wife will get a mac mini that way I love you. Yeah, I like how you're rationalization for that. That way I'll have both and we'll all be free of windows.

And you'll be Mac ish all the way we are to. She uses an iPhone as her daily driver. I don't think I have one. You either have that and I could just switch to that as my daily driver. This is only just going to lead to new iPads. And the nice thing there is then you're going to want to start synchronizing your edge, because then you'll be able to continue your browsing from the phone to the computer. And I was we are going to be edge right here on unrelenting.

Speak for yourself at oh, you're done already. I'm sorry. This is a completely different show after dark, but I will say I'm realizing after dark that the news is that the spin off teases. That's what's going on. The rumble. That's going to be our video. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the rumble one. Yeah. Our only that's only only fans on there. This will be, I got to figure out why the the pupu thing isn't going. Pupu. I send this the. There we go. I was going to send you. Who? The flying toasters.

Billy Bone says I remember. This is when you know you're old enough when somebody says flying toasters and you're like, how the screen saver. Yeah. Like, oh, I remember that. That was so cool. That's what we used to have our teas that made our rooms warm in the wintertime and unbearable in the summertime. Oh yeah. That were about four feet deep. Dude, what was the biggest thing? We have desks back then. We're there. All the desks double wide or what?

The funny thing is, this desk got a monitor that's three feet deep on your desk. I'm pretty sure this is the desk I had even back when there was a CRT, and it was not easy to do. My buddy sent me one from California. There was a 27 inch CRT, which at the time was big. Like huge. Yeah, 27 inch. Woo! That's insane. Oh, they did get warm. Yeah. Which ones? I always like the NBC ones. The Oh yeah. Thought they had the best picture. It was a whole different world back then.

But with less than a weekend I will say, I think once everything is set up, the way that makes sense to me, that it will be more than fine as a daily driver and it should be better in audio than the windows machine. Because one thing I did notice is that there is like no issue at all with the latency stuff in mics. No, no, you're not seeing like the windows system. Try to be like, nope, we're going to take the resources that you need and and move them over here.

Yeah. And you've got all the, all the individual channels of the motor mapping now in the Mac. Right. Oh, yeah. Okay. And that just kind of worked right out of the box, which was amazing. Yeah. I was like, oh, wow, that's just there. And then I just had to figure out a little more with the, with loopback and how I could then go create a channel like, say, out of the, that I'm doing the, Chrome, which is what you're in. Yeah. To bring that back out.

And I'm like, oh, wait, you could just then choose that right there. Okay. Again, everything's just slightly different, but it's more better, that's all. It's mo better blues. Just so many things open, so many things open.

And, you know, the other thing that's also built in which I use on my laptop, I don't is on the desktop a whole lot because I have a huge 4K 47 inch screen, the Mac here, but, on the laptop I use the each app goes into its own virtual desktop, and then you just swipe left and right between your apps instead of trying to just find which window behind all the other windows your app is. Yeah, I'm going to need to set something like that up as well. But again, it's all just local monitors.

It's not as big a deal, but on the laptop it's absolutely required. Yeah, I like having the triple. This just kind of feels like a lot less has changed. Is it still the thing? The troll rooms where it is, it's a different, Windows Explorer. Instead of that, we just have double commander instead. But one thing I realized that the Mac stuff seems to be in.

It might also be a directory opens, because directory opens is by far the best Windows Explorer replacement, but right out of the box you could add, which for me was a godsend. Being able in your explorer. Besides just, you know, the size of the file, it allowed you to add the time of an audio file. Yeah. Which for me it's like okay, when coming to the end of the rock and roll pre-show and I'm like, I need a song that's three minutes and 48 seconds long. And that was just like boom there it is.

You can see exactly. Rather than like mousing over this. Well there it is. So I mean it is a little more convenient in some ways. But I'm thinking that since I'm already using over 16 gig of memory doing a few of the things that I'm doing of the Ram, maybe I need more. No, you don't need more. Maybe I need more. What do you guys tell me more. Don't I need more? You definitely don't need more. The, I need more g. No, wait. No, that's not what I need. The.

It's going to use memory for caching, so it'll use what you have available to minimize the amount of time it has to go to the drive, but it will run just fine if you have less available as well. I need more memory. Oh my god, do I need B12 now I order a B12. Adam, a B12 upgrade. Yeah, yeah, I need a B12 upgrade. Stat! You got that for me? You know, every every memory you've got in your brain right now can fit into 16GB. When you when you.
