[0.00 --> 8.88] and we're live it's WAN show time again welcome to the best show that takes place
[8.88 --> 18.00] on Friday afternoon on this particular channel that's all that's yes I mean I
[18.00 --> 21.36] wouldn't compare it to anything else because nothing else is really quite like
[21.36 --> 28.12] the WAN show so I have a special co-host this week and the story behind this is
[28.12 --> 32.56] actually a good one so Alex here has actually worked at Linus Media Group
[32.56 --> 37.48] for the better part of almost like two years now is that right no yeah yeah
[37.48 --> 43.78] pretty close Wow so this will be your two year like annual performance review
[43.78 --> 49.24] coming up like next month yeah that's incredible so on his performance review
[49.24 --> 53.74] will be a lot of good things like Alex has done a great job of our laptop content
[53.74 --> 57.58] a lot of our more makery content he installed the single most dangerous
[57.58 --> 63.34] thing in our entire studio a few weeks ago CNC you don't agree that's the most
[63.34 --> 68.68] dangerous thing in our studio probably not okay what's more dangerous um other
[68.68 --> 71.44] than Dennis with a power tool that doesn't count you don't get to just take
[71.44 --> 75.10] Dennis plus something and create something more dangerous than the CNC
[75.10 --> 79.38] because you could just have Dennis the CNC there was that time when the laptop
[79.38 --> 84.94] cart the like AC power screwed up and it was just like the whole laptop cart had AC
[84.94 --> 90.70] power okay but I'm talking present tense the most dangerous thing in our office
[90.70 --> 99.18] that was pretty bad that was a bad scene anyway there's gonna be lots of good
[99.18 --> 103.94] things but then we had him on to host an episode of tech linked a couple of weeks
[103.94 --> 109.70] ago and um so actually we the first time he did it was a couple months ago and I
[109.70 --> 116.84] watched it and I was like okay yeah like you kind of warmed up more towards the end and you had your
[116.84 --> 120.92] moments you had like some pretty brilliant moments like the intro I thought was great
[120.92 --> 128.52] and I checked in I was like so you didn't realize the camera was on yet no slash didn't realize they were
[128.52 --> 133.38] going to use it no I knew that you knew they were going to use it okay that's not what you said in
[133.38 --> 140.40] our meeting anyway yeah well anyway the point is there were these moments of brilliance and I was
[140.40 --> 144.82] like okay there's potential here but you and I need to kind of meet about hosting style before
[144.82 --> 151.54] before you do another one and then we did and then he was hosting another one and halfway through I was
[151.54 --> 159.78] just like I think we're creating more pressure and more tension with me standing here and like
[159.78 --> 165.48] trying to help you through this as opposed to helping so new plan you're gonna help co-host the
[165.48 --> 169.14] WAN show get a little bit more comfortable on camera and we're gonna go from there so we got a
[169.14 --> 174.60] lot of great topics for you guys this week what do you got what's your top picks for topics um so
[174.60 --> 182.68] AMD did really well yes oh oh I didn't and now I wish that I really didn't sorry what do you got
[182.68 --> 191.12] um AMD they have 64 core epic processors you might say they're don't don't oh
[191.12 --> 195.38] that's like two in a row that are brutal
[195.38 --> 201.26] and oh I don't even see it here but there was more news about AMD that's just
[201.26 --> 207.88] not great what news was that well they that's not embargoed is it that's not something like
[207.88 --> 216.12] we're working on that you overheard like me and Anthony discussing is it um no oh okay as long as
[216.12 --> 219.88] you can find an article that you can say throw that in the doc and we'll pull it up later but the
[219.88 --> 228.44] rumors around AMD's Radeon RX 590 don't look particularly promising what does look promising is Samsung's
[228.44 --> 234.56] promise to unveil flexible display phones moving forward we'll be talking talking about that a little bit and
[234.56 --> 239.32] uh this doesn't look promising this is actually just more annoying than anything else Apple is apparently
[239.32 --> 245.46] blocking Linux installs on computers equipped with their latest T2 security check what are they trying to secure
[245.46 --> 250.86] at this point okay sorry we'll discuss it in more detail later first the intro
[250.86 --> 261.18] it works sometimes it's still just always a surprise though we really need to update it
[261.18 --> 266.84] it's so old like this intro was created back when we sat on a couch
[266.84 --> 269.70] yeah
[269.70 --> 274.48] yeah we used to sit on a couch that looks just like that
[274.48 --> 281.08] we even had like a little red cushion then that cushion and by the time we got rid of that couch
[281.08 --> 287.82] it was disgusting because there would be times when we'd be hosting the WAN show on like a pretty
[287.82 --> 294.08] warm afternoon um the old office didn't have air conditioning and like even this one being out here
[294.08 --> 298.40] in the warehouse during the summer like it it didn't have air conditioning until the very end of the
[298.40 --> 301.44] summer this year we actually never got to turn it on I don't think you know we have air conditioning
[301.44 --> 306.22] out here now right oh I didn't know that yeah look there's one unit here and then there's one over on
[306.22 --> 310.36] the other side uh the crappy air conditioning installers are the reason that our roof leaks
[310.36 --> 316.74] right now oh I was kind of wondering what caused that yeah so you know fix one problem create another
[316.74 --> 323.60] that's life for you right um so anyway that that cushion I would usually put it behind me because the
