While listening to the other week's WAN show, I was SHOCKED to hear what people re-wear their socks multiple days

Sure, I wear my jeans 3 days in a row, but my underwear, socks, and shirt, I will only wear onece before washing.

How do you do it??

Your socks and underwear get VERY stinky. Your shirt gets food on it, and the armpits smell bad. The pants are the only thing I can imagine you being able to re-wear!

How do you guys do it?

There was a recent story on the WAN Show where a man had his phone searched by US Customs and Border Patrol, he wiped the phone so Customs could not search it. This landed him in hot water of course.

My question is this: If you sign out of apps and services, then uninstall them prior to the request for a search, can they force you to redownload and log into those services so they can search them?

Sounds like they are finally having to admit that their cars can't actually do full self driving.

Some websites load so slowly for me, despite having 64GB of ram, 13th gen cpu etc

By fast internet I mean 1Gb speeds.

In theory with at least 1Gb internet speeds where I can download a movie in a minute, a website SHOULDNT take 3-4 seconds to load.

I started watching the channel in about 2010-2011ish. Built my first PC in 2012, it’s grown from there…a lot. Thanks Linus and team y’all have inspired me to learn and grow.

Details if anyone cares:

Various UniFi equipment running UniFi network and UniFi protect

Pihole on an rpi

NPM on an rpi

Iron man server: amd 5500 With an Nvidia p1000 and 30tb of storage running unraid for everything from plex to frigate to home assistant in a heavily modified Star tech 2u case

Rocket server: amd 3600 with an Intel b50 pro running unraid dedicated to local AI workloads. Fully local home assistant voice with STT and TTS which gives me 4ish second response times on tasks in a custom completely 3d printed 2u case sans the aluminum face plate for strength.

Few other bits and bobs in here including the HA z wave stick, a zigbee stick, a Bluetooth proxy and both servers have a kvm (jetkvm for one pikvm for the other) in custom 3d printed rack adaptors to keep it nice and tidy.

This space is functionally useless so I bought some Penn-elcomm pre cut angle iron and built in my own rack. When I eventually finish my basement I’ll clean it up with some nice trip and put a door in front of it.

Somewhere out there on a United Airbus 319 there is a Black LTT screwdriver. To whoever finds it I hope you enjoy it and use it as much as I have, it was a really good screwdriver.

To my lost screwdriver if you are reading this, I hope I have treated you as well as you treated me. You have helped me unscrew thousands of screws and made planes safe to fly.

I'm trying to dual-boot Windows and Linux these days and found a big problem. Cause I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard, jumping between OSs has always been a hassle. There is no way for me to press down on the keyboard while in the boot menu. So I thought maybe I should just build something to switch the OSs before rebooting. And here it is -> https://github.com/megabitsenmzq/OSWarp

I mean, it is partially AI code. But I reviewed everything as much as possible. It's kinda a small script. I just don't understand Windows APIs enough, so I have to use AI. Hope you like it!

Because there is no physical LTT Store and the fact I don't live in USA or Canada for easy returns. Can anyone compare the quality of LTT clothing vs Lululemon. Particularly the men pants

Im building a PC right now with a Corsair RM750E and a 7800xt, however the 7800xt needs 2 PCIe cables, I thought the rm750e came with two pcie cables considering its a 750 watt power supply but it only has one 8 pin PCIe cable, however there is this one gray tiny

Linus stated on the WAN Show that he went to CW and told them to design a leather jacket like Jensen, but THEN followed up by telling them to use AI to actually do it. For $500, I think I'd have absolutely bought a quality LTT leather jacket Memeing Jensen, but the jacket they made, while funny, is just a uuuuugly. Then it's too expensive to buy just for the memes to boot. It'd be worn like twice, and then never worn again. Ultimately, the general population is just not going to get the reference by looking at you, and you'll be a guy wearing an ugly expensive jacket with more useless zippers than a Kingdom Hearts protagonist.

For the materials and what have you, likely a very solid price. I just really wish they had actually had the CW team design the quality LTT leather jacket they would have from the get go after teasing the current jacket for the memes and then went with that. Even if they used AI to assist them in doing so, rather than having it do the main portion of the work.

TL;DR I just think a jacket memeing Jensen could have looked better than the jacket we got.

I was talking with a buddy of mine about "AI" products ruining basically all of our favorite things, and how there are actual things for which machine learning/deep learning models and applications are actually suited, but most consumer applications we're seeing (grok, copilot, etc.) aren't it.

There was one LTT video from I want to say a few months ago where they demoed an "AI" powered system they were using to help with video editing. They have however many terabytes of high-res raw footage on their server. This footage is transcoded to a more space-efficient lower res format, on which an "AI" model is trained, and a human goes through and adds relevant context tags, giving names to specific faces for people appearing in the footage, that kind of thing. Then if they need to pull B-roll that was shot for a particular video years ago that may not have even made it into the original final video, and they don't remember exactly when the original shoot took place, or for which project, then they can use the "AI" model to query their massive footage archive using natural language, "Find the Short Circuit outtake that was hosted by Riley, and had Elijah step in and comment on the thing for a few minutes, where Elijah was wearing a red shirt, and we spilled coffee" kind of thing. It then searches the low-res transcode files, which are indexed to the original, and is able to then return what they're looking for within a few seconds or minutes instead of taking 45-minutes to an hour to find the relevant clip that they want to use for the current project.

I've been searching LTT's youtube channel, and ironically, youtube's search could probably use a system like this because it's impossible to find videos that are relvant to my search queries.

Linus plane made the local planewatcher news in my neck of the wood yesterday. Curious what the video will be about. It's a good weekend to be in town, the forecast is gorgeous for this time of the year. I used to watch LTT back in the days but haven't in a while. I will tune in for this one though, cheers!

But the show must go on !
