[909.76 --> 914.26] But Linode's single click upgrade to the next nano was fast, flawless and fixed the service
[914.26 --> 915.50] performance needs right away.
[915.80 --> 920.42] Best of all, the single core two gigabyte nano on the cloud was beating the performance
[920.42 --> 923.78] of my locally hosted two core eight gig VM.
[924.72 --> 925.84] You know what, Deckbot?
[925.92 --> 927.00] I see that all the time.
[927.04 --> 929.00] Like I say, I used to do things in VMs.
[929.42 --> 930.84] But this is what Linode does.
[931.24 --> 934.04] They build and manage servers and they've been doing it for 18 years.
[934.08 --> 935.70] So they know how to make these things fast.
[936.04 --> 940.32] And on top of that, they've got a great dashboard and they have the best customer support in the
[940.32 --> 940.68] business.
[940.68 --> 941.98] It's where I test things.
[942.10 --> 943.26] It's where I deploy things.
[943.54 --> 944.64] It's where I learn about things.
[944.84 --> 947.02] So go get $100 and try it out for 60 days.
[947.44 --> 949.32] Kick the tires for yourself and support the show.
[949.84 --> 951.90] Linode.com slash SSH.
[953.98 --> 956.14] New month, new home assistant update.
[956.30 --> 959.44] They just released their 2021.12 update.
[960.38 --> 963.48] And along with that, there was also a three hour live stream.
[963.80 --> 966.30] The big state of the stream project.
[967.14 --> 967.98] Yeah, it's the end of the year.
[967.98 --> 969.82] I think they're going to just do this now all the time.
[971.14 --> 975.78] Before we get into the details of what they announced, did you see the VR thing that they
[975.78 --> 976.14] showed?
[976.38 --> 978.18] How they do their team meetings now?
[978.62 --> 978.84] I did.
[978.90 --> 983.52] It felt very like a rudimentary version of Ready Player One or something like that, you
[983.52 --> 983.68] know?
[983.78 --> 984.12] Yeah.
[984.26 --> 984.42] Yeah.
[984.94 --> 985.24] Yeah.
[985.62 --> 991.50] Well, Paul has filed up on Twitter and he said, we at Nubikasa are doing all of our meetings
[991.50 --> 992.16] in VR now.
[992.16 --> 997.64] It feels more like being together compared to just a grid of webcam feeds, especially
[997.64 --> 998.92] for our collaborative sessions.
[999.06 --> 1000.16] It's a big win.
[1000.74 --> 1005.52] We use Horizon Workrooms on the Oculus Quest 2, which is the standalone headset that runs
[1005.52 --> 1005.84] Android.
[1006.52 --> 1009.04] They don't connect to a PC or anything like that.
[1009.50 --> 1013.60] And he says why it's better for them is number one reason is body language compared to webcam.
[1014.00 --> 1016.00] Your hands and fingers are now included on the call.
[1016.08 --> 1017.08] So you can point to things.
[1017.14 --> 1017.74] You can gesture.
[1017.90 --> 1018.46] You got emotions.
[1018.46 --> 1019.76] You can draw on a whiteboard.
[1020.40 --> 1023.30] Spatial audio actually lets you know where people are and makes it more immersive.
[1023.88 --> 1025.32] But here's the other thing I didn't consider.
[1026.14 --> 1027.54] And this made me go, huh?
[1028.64 --> 1029.56] It's faster.
[1030.40 --> 1031.40] VR is faster.
[1031.78 --> 1036.08] Because webcams, you're actually doing like an H.264 video stream or something like that,
[1036.12 --> 1036.30] right?
[1037.00 --> 1038.14] Or VP8 or whatever.
[1039.12 --> 1045.14] But in VR, it's audio and then it's just the data for the movements and stuff, the updates
[1045.14 --> 1045.66] for the movements.
[1045.66 --> 1048.54] And they're not actually sending the video feed of it.
[1048.56 --> 1050.04] They're just sending the data feed.
[1050.64 --> 1054.58] And so what you get is you fix this like, oh, no, you go.
[1054.72 --> 1055.24] Oh, I'll go.
[1055.42 --> 1055.86] Oh, can I?
[1056.98 --> 1059.74] Like that's gone now because the latency is so much better.
[1059.92 --> 1063.34] Plus, you can see people are like, you know, gesturing with their hands and whatnot.
[1064.38 --> 1065.46] Actually kind of made me think.
[1065.52 --> 1066.64] Here's what I kind of clicked for me.
[1066.86 --> 1069.68] I thought to myself, this sounds so silly, right?
[1070.22 --> 1071.16] Until then, I thought.
[1071.16 --> 1074.00] Well, what if we use this for podcasting?
[1074.06 --> 1076.38] Like what if you and I were doing this right now?
[1077.34 --> 1077.72] Right?
[1078.42 --> 1079.44] That'd be pretty cool.
[1079.78 --> 1080.62] That would be interesting.
[1081.42 --> 1084.08] I'd need to invest in some VR gear.
[1084.34 --> 1088.62] And obviously, if I tell the wife, you know, I need to buy VR gear for podcasting, which
[1088.62 --> 1089.62] is an audio medium.
[1089.62 --> 1092.18] And I need some kind of expensive video headset.
[1092.54 --> 1094.20] I think that I go over really well.
[1094.74 --> 1094.92] Yeah.
[1095.24 --> 1095.54] Yeah.
[1095.60 --> 1098.46] Because really, you're going to want to get like the upgraded strap.
[1098.70 --> 1100.04] You're going to want the controls.
[1100.78 --> 1102.76] So you're like 500 bucks on Amazon.
[1102.76 --> 1105.78] And then like to get good headphones that plug into it easily, that's like another 100
[1105.78 --> 1106.14] bucks.
[1106.26 --> 1111.42] So you're almost to the price point of the style that you can plug into the PC and actually
[1111.42 --> 1112.20] has good graphics.
[1112.62 --> 1115.06] Almost to a price point of a ticket to come and see you.
[1115.54 --> 1115.76] Yeah.
[1117.76 --> 1118.44] That's true.
[1119.44 --> 1119.80] Yeah.
[1120.24 --> 1120.82] Oh, yeah.
[1120.82 --> 1121.08] All right.
[1121.10 --> 1124.54] Well, anyways, the other thing that they just kind of slipped in there.
[1125.14 --> 1127.54] Maybe I missed this because I haven't been following this super closely.
[1127.66 --> 1131.92] But, you know, the Home Assistant Amber, their little hardware device that they had crowdfunded.
[1132.50 --> 1134.22] Well, I guess now it's called the Home Assistant Yellow.
[1135.54 --> 1139.06] So the change of the name is still based on the Pi Compute Module 4.
[1139.12 --> 1142.28] It's still got that M2 expansion slot and the Zigbee module and Gigabit Ethernet.
[1143.22 --> 1144.66] And it's still available to order.
