[0.00 --> 3.48] So today, I don't think I could handle it right now.
[3.90 --> 4.34] Oh, okay.
[4.60 --> 7.74] I have had a fairly terrible last couple of days.
[9.22 --> 13.54] I have been fighting with my tape drive backup thing
[13.54 --> 16.50] that basically doesn't work on the PC properly.
[16.92 --> 19.04] And the guys that make it are like,
[19.32 --> 21.64] yeah, the truth of the matter is that the driver situation
[21.64 --> 24.14] from IBM on down just isn't that great on the PC
[24.14 --> 25.30] and it works better on a Mac.
[25.38 --> 27.48] So then I've been trying to get a Mac working with 10 gigabit.
[27.48 --> 29.32] And so I was using the MacBook Pro
[29.32 --> 31.68] and 10 gigabit LAN to be clear.
[31.76 --> 33.02] So I was using the MacBook Pro
[33.02 --> 35.44] and I ran into a...
[35.44 --> 37.30] Remember when I called you earlier this week?
[37.40 --> 37.58] Yeah.
[37.66 --> 39.02] Asking if you had the Core X.
[39.16 --> 39.30] Yeah.
[39.40 --> 39.56] Yeah.
[39.66 --> 46.96] So I managed to have three external PCI Express docks,
[47.44 --> 50.68] four 10 gigabit network cards,
[51.24 --> 52.46] a variety of cables,
[53.16 --> 55.76] and I still couldn't manage to get...
[55.76 --> 57.34] Like I even got down to the point
[57.34 --> 58.98] where I had a Thunderbolt chipset
[58.98 --> 60.86] that Apple hadn't specifically locked out
[60.86 --> 63.10] because we don't want to support it.
[63.34 --> 63.50] Yeah.
[63.50 --> 65.70] I managed to find one that didn't have a Thunderbolt chip
[65.70 --> 66.52] that was locked out.
[66.64 --> 68.50] So the enclosure worked on the Mac.
[68.90 --> 70.30] And I even managed to get
[70.30 --> 73.38] a 10 gig Ethernet card
[73.38 --> 75.60] with the exact same chipset
[75.60 --> 77.64] that is already in use in the iMac Pro.
[77.64 --> 80.30] But that still doesn't work
[80.30 --> 83.02] because there's some stupid beta of macOS
[83.02 --> 86.18] that you have to like update from an older one too.
[86.40 --> 88.08] And then it will flash cards
[88.08 --> 91.68] that are not like Mac approved
[91.68 --> 93.12] to be Mac approved.
[93.28 --> 94.38] And then they just work
[94.38 --> 97.52] because the drivers are for the hardware,
[97.82 --> 100.66] not for like the stupid vendor ID
[100.66 --> 102.14] that actually doesn't matter.
[102.34 --> 103.82] But with Apple, it's just...
[103.82 --> 105.68] Anthony's way of putting it, I think, is great.
[105.74 --> 106.62] It's magic numbers.
[106.62 --> 109.90] It's not about whether it should actually work or not.
[109.98 --> 112.64] It's about making sure it has the right magic number.
[112.88 --> 114.54] That's actually one of his theories
[114.54 --> 118.10] about the whole throttling issue with the MacBook Pro.
[118.20 --> 118.72] Did you see this?
[118.78 --> 119.34] You hear about this?
[119.40 --> 120.62] The big thermal throttling thing?
[120.64 --> 121.18] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[121.24 --> 124.20] And Apple fixes it with a macOS update
[124.20 --> 126.18] that they said was firmware
[126.18 --> 128.02] but doesn't seem to be firmware
[128.02 --> 129.66] because it doesn't fix it in Windows.
[129.92 --> 130.04] Yeah.
[130.32 --> 134.12] So it must just be like a magic number.
[134.12 --> 137.58] Like a magic number detects the CPU correctly now.
[137.64 --> 138.90] No, it doesn't behave stupidly.
[138.94 --> 139.42] Oh, good.
[139.84 --> 140.00] Yeah.
[140.54 --> 143.10] Thank goodness for a genuine Apple-approved hardware
[143.10 --> 144.44] and nothing else working at all.
[144.88 --> 145.86] You want to hear my great story?
[147.12 --> 148.36] And then, and then,
[148.52 --> 151.32] I've spent the last four hours dealing with this.
[151.86 --> 153.08] Do you think it's going to be done by the end of WAN?
[153.08 --> 154.68] I hope so.
[154.78 --> 155.84] It's at 84%.
[155.84 --> 157.72] It was at 54% when I first saw it.
[157.72 --> 158.16] It was at the third reboot now.
[158.30 --> 159.76] So I think we're getting close.
[159.86 --> 161.74] I may duck out of WAN and just finish that video.
[161.82 --> 163.42] This is the last thing I'm waiting for.
[163.76 --> 166.34] I just want to run Cinebench!
[167.28 --> 167.68] Sorry.
[167.80 --> 168.44] Sorry, everyone.
[168.62 --> 170.14] I'm just, I'm having a rough day.
[170.42 --> 171.94] I just want to run Cinebench
[171.94 --> 174.32] and I can't if Windows Update is sucking back
[174.32 --> 176.24] 25% of the CPU in the background.
[176.74 --> 176.98] Right.
[177.10 --> 179.58] I just want to know how much faster it is than last gen
[179.58 --> 182.04] and I was thinking maybe I'd compare it to the Surface Go
