[3652.46 --> 3657.96] Also, really cool note, this is what I wasn't sure about telling you guys last time.
[3658.36 --> 3662.92] We now have some load balancing going on with geos.
[3663.06 --> 3670.40] So, a lot of people in Australia and the kind of general European area have noticed a lot
[3670.40 --> 3670.92] of improvements.
[3670.92 --> 3677.40] That's because we have some, like, kind of more on-location servers for you guys up and
[3677.40 --> 3679.04] running with some load balancing going on.
[3679.10 --> 3679.98] Do you want to say where they are?
[3680.42 --> 3680.66] Yeah.
[3681.02 --> 3681.94] Australia and...
[3681.94 --> 3682.62] Oh, did you say that?
[3682.62 --> 3684.18] So, Australia and the other ones in France.
[3684.58 --> 3687.46] But it should be able to better serve you than ones in Canada.
[3687.46 --> 3688.72] So, yeah.
[3688.84 --> 3694.96] A lot of people from various countries around Europe have had a much better experience than
[3694.96 --> 3697.18] before when everyone was just going through Canadian servers.
[3697.42 --> 3699.46] We are going to continue to expand.
[3699.84 --> 3703.66] So, if you're in an area that, like, isn't super great right now, ironically, where we
[3703.66 --> 3705.52] are is, like, not the greatest.
[3705.78 --> 3706.30] It's good.
[3706.38 --> 3707.38] You just watch the playback.
[3707.74 --> 3707.86] Yeah.
[3707.96 --> 3708.46] It's good.
[3708.86 --> 3710.26] It could be slightly better.
[3710.42 --> 3711.74] And it will be slightly better.
[3712.52 --> 3714.12] Because we will eventually have West Coast servers.
[3714.82 --> 3715.06] Nice.
[3715.10 --> 3715.52] But, yeah.
[3715.58 --> 3720.02] If you're in an area and you are consistently not getting super great bandwidth, I'm not
[3720.02 --> 3720.98] hearing this very often.
[3721.18 --> 3722.02] Almost not at all.
[3722.10 --> 3725.98] But if you are, let me know where you're from and we will look into getting that better.
[3726.26 --> 3729.62] To be clear, like, the infrastructure upgrades we're making right now have nothing to do
[3729.62 --> 3730.82] with capacity for the platform.
[3731.02 --> 3731.16] No.
[3732.60 --> 3735.66] Like, there's a lot more people on it than you would probably think.
[3735.66 --> 3741.96] But it's not, like, you know, a billion people or anything like YouTube or something.
[3742.20 --> 3745.06] It's more just trying to make user experience better.
[3745.66 --> 3745.84] Yeah.
[3746.34 --> 3752.84] I mean, this is the kind of boring stuff that takes months to work on and figure out before
[3753.50 --> 3755.94] you want to launch and, like, bring a bunch of other creators on the platform.
[3755.94 --> 3758.88] Yeah, and it's frustrating when, like, we're an international group.
[3759.38 --> 3763.58] And we have people from North America watching all the footage.
[3763.76 --> 3764.76] And they're like, everything looks great.
[3764.76 --> 3765.66] I can watch 1080p.
[3765.78 --> 3766.44] It's snappy.
[3766.54 --> 3766.84] Hooray.
[3766.94 --> 3769.84] And then someone from Australia is like, I have to download it.
[3770.50 --> 3770.74] Yeah.
[3770.78 --> 3773.36] Or, like, I can sometimes watch it in 360p.
[3773.42 --> 3774.52] And I'm like, that's not fair.
[3774.74 --> 3776.02] People watch us from everywhere.
[3776.12 --> 3778.44] I want this to work well for everyone, even if it costs us more.
[3778.48 --> 3779.30] So now we're doing that.
[3779.30 --> 3784.74] So we're actually going to do, like, a more float plane, another float plane Q&A after
[3784.74 --> 3787.38] the WAN show if you guys want to kind of hang around for that.
[3787.52 --> 3787.60] Yeah.
[3788.02 --> 3790.80] Otherwise, I think we've got a few more pretty good topics for you.
[3792.08 --> 3793.32] Anyways, one quick thing.
[3793.32 --> 3793.62] Actually, no.
[3793.70 --> 3794.48] We have, like, nothing.
[3794.58 --> 3794.80] Oh, wait.
[3794.82 --> 3795.52] No, we do have more.
[3795.76 --> 3800.30] There's also a little teaser of episode two on float plane only.
[3800.78 --> 3804.20] So if you're a float plane guy and you haven't been on there in a couple days, jump on there.
[3804.28 --> 3806.16] Check out the teaser for Scrapboard Wars episode two.
[3806.38 --> 3808.26] It's pretty good.
[3810.36 --> 3810.76] What?
[3811.28 --> 3811.58] Huh.
[3811.92 --> 3813.98] So, actually, I did not know about this.
[3814.02 --> 3817.18] So this was posted by WMGroomAK on the forum.
[3817.18 --> 3819.36] The original article is from Ars Technica.
[3819.36 --> 3828.22] And it looks like Google gets to keep their trademark even though it has turned into a
[3828.22 --> 3830.92] generic term for searching the web.
[3831.48 --> 3836.62] So going back to our notes here, when a brand name becomes completely ubiquitous, like Thermos,
[3837.06 --> 3839.18] I didn't even know Teleprompter was a brand name.
[3839.74 --> 3840.14] Me neither.
[3840.30 --> 3842.68] And Videotape didn't know that was a brand name.
[3842.68 --> 3842.94] Oh, my goodness.
[3843.06 --> 3843.32] Me neither.
[3843.46 --> 3846.02] It can lose its legally protected status.
[3846.02 --> 3848.42] So this process is called genericide.
[3848.42 --> 3854.66] And in 2012, Google filed a cyber-squatting complaint and claimed trademark infringement
[3854.66 --> 3860.86] when a man registered 763 domain names that combined Google with other words and phrases,
[3861.04 --> 3862.98] including GoogleDonaldTrump.com.
[3863.06 --> 3864.02] Oh, what a jerk.
[3864.22 --> 3865.26] I see what he was doing there.
[3865.32 --> 3869.92] So the man filed an appeal citing genericide, and the court ruled that Google still retains
[3869.92 --> 3873.60] its trademark even if the term Google has become known for searching the internet.
[3873.74 --> 3874.88] So how does that actually work, though?
[3874.88 --> 3879.26] Um, I have no idea.
[3879.42 --> 3881.12] I mean, John would be a more...
[3881.12 --> 3882.02] Sort of...
[3882.02 --> 3882.82] Because, like...
[3882.82 --> 3884.16] Sensible person to talk about this.
[3884.40 --> 3885.20] Hey, hey, hey, John!
[3887.60 --> 3888.26] He's coming.
[3888.46 --> 3888.92] He's coming.
[3889.08 --> 3890.30] All right, I'm giving up my seat.
[3890.42 --> 3891.22] I'm giving up my seat.
[3891.36 --> 3891.62] Okay.
