[3412.60 --> 3421.44] You should never buy anything without independent evaluation or, like, trying it first.
[3421.64 --> 3423.26] Like, that's why you test drive a car.
[3423.84 --> 3423.94] Yeah.
[3423.98 --> 3429.06] That's why you don't just pre-order a Roadster 2 or 3 or whatever it is.
[3429.26 --> 3430.86] PC Gamer.
[3430.86 --> 3431.46] PC Gamer.
[3431.48 --> 3435.06] Actually, it's not linked in the description, but did you see that article?
[3435.20 --> 3435.58] No, I didn't.
[3435.60 --> 3437.48] PC Gamer actually put up...
[3437.48 --> 3438.28] He was like...
[3438.28 --> 3442.74] He referenced Gamers Nexus and he referenced Tom's hardware and he's like, okay, but hold
[3442.74 --> 3443.40] on a second.
[3444.04 --> 3444.94] What about this?
[3445.34 --> 3447.00] What if there's a return policy?
[3447.34 --> 3448.70] And you're like, I want...
[3448.70 --> 3449.88] I know I'm going to get this card.
[3449.96 --> 3450.74] I know I'm going to get it.
[3450.76 --> 3451.22] Then go for it.
[3451.22 --> 3454.36] So, what if there's a 30-day return policy and you have, like, a thousand bucks to drop
[3454.36 --> 3455.12] and you don't care?
[3455.20 --> 3459.46] So, the problem with the IT industry, and this was true at our old employer as well, is that
[3459.46 --> 3463.28] a lot of the time there's a restocking fee.
[3463.92 --> 3468.66] Like, returning electronics like graphics cards is not necessarily as simple as a pair
[3468.66 --> 3469.86] of pants at the Gap or whatever.
[3469.86 --> 3477.64] So, as long as you believe that you can get rid of it and you have the disposable money
[3477.64 --> 3479.38] sitting around, fine.
[3479.96 --> 3482.70] But that wasn't the argument being made here.
[3482.70 --> 3485.98] Yeah, the problem was that this argument for doing that was horrible.
[3485.98 --> 3487.44] It said just buy it, not just try it.
[3487.72 --> 3491.26] Like, when I'm 99 years old and I'm lying on my deathbed...
[3491.26 --> 3491.48] Yes.
[3491.64 --> 3495.12] And I'm thinking back and I'm saying, like, oh my gosh.
[3496.20 --> 3498.28] I didn't have ray tracing for six months.
[3498.38 --> 3498.86] Ray tracing.
[3499.02 --> 3499.62] What was the...
[3499.62 --> 3500.02] Ray tracing.
[3500.32 --> 3500.96] Ray tracing.
[3501.10 --> 3501.52] Deep learning.
[3501.72 --> 3502.32] Super sampling.
[3502.50 --> 3503.16] I needed it.
[3505.12 --> 3507.02] That's the other big feature, right?
[3507.34 --> 3509.18] The ray tracing and DLSS.
[3509.30 --> 3509.54] Yeah.
[3510.68 --> 3512.82] There's a bunch of other topics this week.
[3512.90 --> 3513.60] Bet you didn't know that.
[3513.60 --> 3518.36] Lego built a life-size drivable Bugatti from over a million Technic pieces.
[3518.70 --> 3518.92] Yeah.
[3519.24 --> 3520.08] That's pretty cool.
[3520.18 --> 3521.30] You should probably go check that out.
[3522.02 --> 3523.56] Bippity-bloppity, something along...
[3523.56 --> 3524.70] Bipp-blibbly-blah-blah-blah.
[3524.78 --> 3525.26] There you go.
[3525.56 --> 3525.80] Yep.
[3526.40 --> 3531.34] I mean, it doesn't go fast, of course, because it's, you know, made of Technic.
[3531.34 --> 3534.72] But it looks really cool, so that's pretty sick.
[3536.02 --> 3537.36] It's like, nice job, guys.
[3537.52 --> 3537.72] Yep.
[3537.72 --> 3538.48] And now what?
[3539.56 --> 3541.34] There's pictures leaked of the iPhone XS.
[3542.18 --> 3542.46] Yeah.
[3542.46 --> 3543.98] We talked about that on TechLink today.
[3544.56 --> 3544.96] 10S?
[3545.26 --> 3545.70] XS?
[3546.42 --> 3547.22] Of 10S?
[3547.30 --> 3548.82] I think it's going to be 10S.
[3549.62 --> 3550.16] Which is...
[3550.16 --> 3556.20] I would say that's kind of annoying to me, because OS X, like, you write it OS X, but
[3556.20 --> 3557.84] at least there's no other numbers in there.
[3559.10 --> 3560.68] Well, there's no other numbers in this one.
[3561.24 --> 3561.46] Wait.
[3561.98 --> 3563.54] S is not a number, but that's fine.
[3563.96 --> 3564.42] Oh, you're right.
[3565.08 --> 3568.64] And I guess that leads us to the end of the show.
[3568.64 --> 3574.26] So, on the subject of getting tax breaks and not spending it on your employees, Linus
[3574.26 --> 3580.56] Media Group actually did get a big tax break and is actually spending it on all of its employees.
[3580.84 --> 3585.20] So, over the next week or so, you're probably going to notice some differences in our content
[3585.20 --> 3585.62] lineup.
[3586.90 --> 3592.06] Linus Tech Tips videos will continue to be published throughout all of next week, as will TechQuickie
[3592.06 --> 3599.86] videos, but TechLinked and The WAN Show, because they are same-day productions, are not going
[3599.86 --> 3601.08] to be going up next week.
[3601.18 --> 3601.40] No.
[3601.40 --> 3602.04] Because...
[3602.04 --> 3603.68] Well, I mean, how do you do it?
[3603.80 --> 3610.92] Yeah, the entire team is taking a vacation, and all expenses paid vacation to...
[3610.92 --> 3611.94] Should I say where we're going?
[3612.28 --> 3612.82] I don't know.
[3612.90 --> 3613.32] I don't know.
[3613.52 --> 3614.38] I didn't say it on...
[3614.38 --> 3615.94] Aren't you weird people going to show up?
[3617.06 --> 3617.70] You know what?
[3617.74 --> 3619.34] Let's say where we went after we get back.
[3619.34 --> 3620.08] Yeah, how about that?
[3620.16 --> 3621.28] I might have already said where we were going.
[3621.36 --> 3621.58] I don't know.
[3621.58 --> 3623.28] We are heading into the ether.
[3623.48 --> 3627.68] Anyway, we are going to do a corporate retreat, because we are spending a bunch of...
[3627.68 --> 3631.26] We're going to blow a bunch of money that we got as a big tax rebate for being a media
[3631.26 --> 3636.36] production company in BC, on our staff, doing something fun and team building, and it's
[3636.36 --> 3636.76] going to be great.
[3636.86 --> 3637.68] I'm actually super stoked.
