As someone who works overnight security, I am constantly convinced people who make games have literally never used a half decent flashlight. Linus calling it out is hilarious.

Too be clear, I have been loving the approx 4hr WAN shows. I don't want the "more structured" show too lead to shorter episodes. I enjoy waking up early Saturday, drinking coffee and chilling in the recliner with WAN

Feedback on the more structured approach: I like that you are scrambling less for what to do next. It's nice that you already know what to do next and don't have to constantly negotiate. It feels less stressful. But I am a bit worried about too much structure destroying the casualness of the conversation. I very much love that you sometimes go off-script if it seems appropriate for the topic or the situation. For example picking up an earlier topic again spontaneously if you see a good comment that can add to a conversation. Keep it a genuine conversation and make sure it doesn't become scripted.

Thanks to the timestamp guy for his service.

The Gary Bowser problem really boils down to this - if a company had been hit with a fine of that size (proportionally), it could simply declare bankruptcy and everyone involved would just walk away and start elsewhere (except the employees, of course - they are always fucked in these things). And it's not like you can jail a company either. As long as companies are treated substantially better than actual people, society will not be just.

I’m torn about it being more structured, I think it’s much more sustainable for the two of you but I was really loving the loose and conversational long form we were getting. So I’m overall fine with either but if it was fully up to my preference I like the long and loose style more.

Adding structure is important if you actually want to get through the topics, but too much structure may take away from the type of show this is. A lot of us are used to the free-flowing vibe. If you can keep that energy while talking about tech topics, shoehorn the merch messages in somewhere in the middle and leave the rest for after dark (rather than having two merch messages, segments and the after dark at the end), and do sponsors still; I think you have a pretty good show on your hands

45:36 My advice for the C programmer: learn a desktop programming language, like Python, C# or Java. Automation and tools is where 20 years have truly accelerated at, and finally some of the desktop development tools and paradigms are getting into embedded development. Things like unit tests, simulation/emulation before deploying on hardware, continuous integration (CI), CD, etc. are very powerful. Since I employed these techniques (especially unit tests), I've had far less need to sit in a lab with physical hardware attached to my laptop. I would write code once on my PC, functionally test it and verify edge cases, and then only have to make sure it compiles to sane code size/time complexity on the target device. That last part is already inclusive of the embedded mindset (no malloc, etc.), so I'm sure that sounds familiar. Also consider learning C++11 and later. Since then , C++ has got very powerful compile-time expressions and there are plenty of alternatives to the heavy stdlib. Learn how to automate tedious jobs with said desktop language like Python, C#. I'm not suggesting to go "full stack" professionally. But knowing bits here and there is useful. Being able to build/automate your own dev environment is useful. Roll your own toolchain instead of the proprietary junk that manufacturers ship to you. Etc. The programming of embedded devices in C hasn't changed much. Take it as an advantage that this industry is generally fairly slow paced. It's not like web where a new JS framework is the next best thing every 6 to 12 months. But given that legacy and high deployment costs is such a major pillar in embedded, it makes a lot more sense to invest in robust code development and testing techniques. There is still plenty of work in embedded, and unlike web/desktop development, I don't foresee a tool like ChatGPT writing new firmware just yet in the next few years.

Nowdays I am literally interested in NOT SKIPPING the sponsors spots due to Denis's creativity.. this guy is something else. 😂

The Gary Bowser case: This feels so outlandish to me. As a person living in Finland, here all debt will expire. For a debt as a result of a judgement in a criminal case, that is 20 years from the time of the judgement. After that, what ever is left uncollected, cannot be collected any longer. edit: Also in Finland there is strict laws on how wages can be garnished, and you the bailiff is regulated. In general you need to be able to keep your dwelling, and such.

Just so everyone knows... I want the un structured wan show back. 5 hours can carry me through a week of doing stuff and having something to listen to!!

As someone who until recently was working on Embedded C myself, for device drivers on Numerical Relays, I've shifted to Linux Device Drivers and I'd suggest getting an online portfolio and LinkedIn was the way I got the new job. It's not too hard to flip over or start over.

When speaking about the size of fines for companies the size is really important because it is so rare for the people in charge to get prison sentences. If the only penalty is a fine, then it becomes "cost of doing business" and in that case the fine must be larger than the profit. This person got both prison and a fine bigger than the profit, which is why it is feels so cruel and unusual.

The 51% thing had me on the floor laughing 😂. Linus's face after pure gold

Hard drives might be a bit more modern version, I've always loved the ideal of how records work and how someone figured them out. Its quite amazing that its possible to create an exact pitch and vocal match with just a variation of a bump on something you run a needle over it, and then the processing of said tiny bumps into larger sounds. We, as a collective species, have created some AMAZING things. Mostly done by individuals who had the ability (time and lack of worry about survival necessities, and resources), if only we could give far more of humanity that same ability and access to resources, the things we might come up with then.

Gary Bowser's sentence might end up encouraging people to pirate more out of spite.

Not ashamed to admit it got me at first. Stage 1> it's a bodycam Stage 2> it's a bodycam with some post processing to make it look kinda gamey, very cool Stage 3> wait how much editing would that take to make it look that borderline Stage 4> oshit that's a game. It was pretty convincing, had me until pretty close to the end.

I think the free flowing conversation is what makes you guys unique and entertaining. The Chaos adds to the fun and we learn about the news to boot!

I love the longer shows! I sit down on Fridays and do the weekly accounting for my small business. I put on my airpods and have WAN in the background and continue capturing invoices and doing the books!

I love the part when the time stamp guy said “it’s timestamping time” and timestamped all over the place, truly a timestamp moment of all time

Here is where I lose my mind, A small group of individuals mess with Nintendo and end up being screwed for life. Yet somebody like SBF and Elizabeth Holmes (only got 13 years) get to just walk away nearly free of the impact they had on people, where their actions actually cost lives. When I was 20 and you offer me the chance to go sit in jail for $500 million dollars retirement at 40 it would not even be something I would think about. (If it isn't clear my answer would be where do I sign) I also think both their schemes was built for early retirement and both of them knew they were going to get caught. Their retirements are set for when they come out of jail. I would like to see their future income garnished for the investors and lives they impacted but we all know there is two different legal systems in the world.

A youtuber The Cherno, who is a game engine dev who used to work on Frostbite and is now building an open source engine pointed out that the whole thing looks like a photogrammetry set When you take a photo of something and show it in a game, it's "photorealistic", which works well with their fancy gopro exposure simulation, but you can still tell

The metaphor for the hard drive is not a bird flying in a hurricane. The metaphor is if the head of a hard drive were a 747 it would be flying at mach 800, 1 cm off the ground, and it would be counting every blade of grass.

The After Dark with the multi tasking of trying to think, speak and type I found to be disengaging. I think having the questions read out loud or having quick fire rounds is better.

I love the more unstructured version and even better if it's longer. Wan-show is a highlight of my Saturdays, and I love you guys talking for hours on end. Greetings from Germany 👋

"After dark" is better now, when we can see you again, and not only as shadows as it was for a few times.

I was just so stoked that Starship actually left the ground, let alone hit Max Q and not break up. Such an achievement. Joe Public isn't normally privy to these kinds of rocket tests.

Just watched the entire WAN show during work. I am enjoying the structure and length, more so than I have in the past. I use to just catch the LMG clips.

I love the chaos of the WAN show, the fact that it is half off the rails from the first 30sec on is large part of the fun. Also been really enjoying the longer WAN shows, so if "structured" means shorter, less chaotic shows, then I'm not a fan. Don't let the WAN show go corporate! (this is a joke.... mostly)

"You mean besides the time you had to have 51% of the company when we started it?" DAMN that got very real very quickly. 🙄

Luke seeing Linus showing off dollar figures of how much they've made on merch messages and not knowing if pointing it out would make it better or worse

Sentenced to live on the streets for hurting Nintendo's pocket change

The thing that really makes the realistic gameplay footage for me is the natural camera shake. I tried recording videos in game with my Quest 2, just holding the headset in my hand as if it was a camera. And while the Quest 2 graphics are mid, the resulting video still has this weird realistic feel to it. Just because I was holding a "real camera" with my real hands in the game world. Resulting in very natural camera movement.

I never thought Canada would allow legal indentured servidude on an individual from a corporation, foreign to boot, before the USA. Your country's liberalism is out standing.

The topic regarding the fine strikes close to home for me at the moment. Obviously not to the same degree, but the company I currently work for are attempting to fine me £8000 for repairs to van that was broken into. For myself that equates to around 26.8% of my yearly income before tax deductions, which I wont get any break on as my reported earnings will stay the same if the fine is paid. Its put me in a horrible position where I literally cant afford to leave a company that is absolutely horrible to work for.

Not only has google sat back and done nothing in terms of competition in the AI world, Google itself has gotten so bad. The first few results are ALWAYS promoted results and ads, and clearly just pushes the results from publishers that pay the most on advertisements.

I wish I was recording my reaction when Yvonne came in with the tidbit about the "51% of the company." Absolutely savage. 👑

@2:24:00 WAN after dark is an amazing add. Like the structure of doing merch messages mid show as well with the lighting round questions.

Regarding PA, look into the Dante protocol. It's an audio-over-IP protocol that's very low latency and is used in professional sound systems as well as PA. You can get receivers and transmitters that are PoE and just plug into an ethernet port in the wall and connect to your network switch. There is also built-in zoning functions and you connect everything together through a virtual patch panel on a PC.

Man Yvonne really holding on to that % share to IMMEDIATELY pull it out

Maybe instead of banning cheaters, just put them in a separate matchmaking lobby so they will only play against other cheaters.

As someone who fixes broken down houses, those textures on the dirt and debris are comfortably uncanny valley.

Mage Quit looks super fun. Might try it with friends soon

ironically the CEO of nintendo america is named Doug Bowser. so its Bowser v Bowser

Was asleep for the first time in 2 years during a WAN show. Well I am getting old now I need my naps :D . Love the show!!

2:53:38 I had the same problem. The solution would be to not have a sunroof if you have the choice. The sunroof takes up a couple of cm of you headspace

I commented this the last time the new backpack was shown, but I really hope it'll be possible to get the teal interior on a "normal" backpack, i.e. NOT with the leather-or-fake-leather exterior.

What left me perplexed with Unrecord is not the realism of the environment graphics (which are impressive), but the diversity of the hand animation. Almost all moves are unique, the firing and reloading are almost never the same for one shot to other which strongly puzzled me. it would almost seems like the hand animations are motion captured from the start to the end instead of repetitively played animation, like you would expect for target render (like the infamous KillZone 2 E3 trailer back in 2005).

There was a recent scandal in TrackMania as well, where in some areas keyboard controls are vastly superior to controllers, but in other areas controllers win. The reason is keyboard is a 100% or 0% input for steering, which you modulate with frequency of pushing the button, while a controller is an analog scale from 0-100%. Traditionally some pro players play on keyboard, but also have a controller plugged in, which they only use when they reach those areas where an analog % input is advantageous. Recently, some keyboards can be programmed in a way that a certain key registers to the OS (therefore to the game), as if it was an analog input, for example 35% right input. This way the players could still have the advantage of normal keyboard inputs, but they could even be better than controllers, because they could jump instantly to the desired analog value instead of moving the joystick. The developers had to do a long review and decided that going forward this will be considered cheating. Kinda wild how even simple racing games are susceptible to this. The whole appeal of TM is you only need 4 buttons to play it, and the physics is perfectly deterministic so you can race to the millisecond.

There have been may of times that I ordered not in Amazon but they still fulfilled the order.

A mechanic that rewards helping wounded enemies and punishes illegal acts would be sick. For instance you could get less support in streaks and slower special recharge for killing downed enemies or hurting civilians Edit: Luke literally just said the same thing right after I typed this

I love the huge WAN shows.

As someone who worked at an office with a coffee machine, there are days of arguments around the coffee machine I can think of. (Looking at you guy who always put two pots worth of coffee grounds into a single pot making some kind of insanely bitter jet fuel)

I love “sports ball” guy. He always announces himself as the unicorn that doesn’t watch sports.

Remember: if the punishment for a crime is a fine, that law only exists for poor people

Nintendo didn't lose any money. Its money they didn't make. To say Nintendo lost money to team executor assumes that every sale that executor made would have been made via Nintendo.

A kitchen drill? made me laugh real good

I'm all for the unstructured/unhinged 20% of an entire day WAN show.

That WAG hoodie is very funny cos I listen to the WAN show when I'm walking my dog haha

I have always loved the pre wanshow content, early and later period wanshows and AFTER PARTIES, but the last month has been the best! DLL FTW. I enjoy the 5 to 10 hour streams of whatever you do!

What is this, a wan show for ants? It needs to be.... At least.... 3 times longer!

I always changed the keybinds in Pinball whenever I played that back in the day. The default controls didn't make sense.

It would be great if Netflix donated the DVDs to public libraries and old people homes

That rocket is MASSIVE! No wonder why it destroyed the launchpad 🤣

I'm with Linus, at about 15 seconds in the original video when the guy pans left after going inside, you can easily tell it's a videogame.

The free snacks conversation is a perfect example of why government handouts never work.

The Bowser suit - I would basically ask Nintendo _Hey, if you want me to pay my fine, I gotta eat and have housing along with my work; mind helping out with that until my debt to you is zero?_

You can tell society is going off the rails when law becomes its most ruthless in the defence of money. I'll always remember MAX HEADROOM, and Edison Carter's boss getting a call to help stave off an arrest, to which is boss responds "Credit fraud? My god that's worse than murder."

the only maybe concerning thing about the "Bodycam" game ist the fact. That this Building he is walking through was the original Demo Video from the company who is doing these Megascans of real objects. So the question is will there be more levels or textures with that high quality

Regarding the Huawei/Seagate thing, it might be that refusal to ship those units to Huawei would have bankrupt them. At that stage, you have to choose between keeping good relationships with your partners or obey a ridiculous law. Also those hdds (or firmware) were not manufactured in the US, posing serious concerns for the global economy or your bottom line as a design only entity (like most American companies are today).

The more structured format is good. It reminds me of old WAN from the couch.

I’ll be honest I really liked the loosely structured 5 hour wan shows. I drive around a ton week to week and having this to listen to in the car is great!

Yvonne with the '51% of the company' moment was more savage than all of her roasts

2:48:20 - When a company looks to save money or improve productivity, it is going to be on the backs of someone or something. The inevitable first thing that goes out the window in the effort to make those new targets will be safety. If you work on a production line and they up the quota, you're going to start overreaching instead of taking the time to walk over and pick up something properly in order to save those precious seconds. The same applies to autonomous hauler vehicles.

Linus, my pistol flashlight is just about exactly like that. The only thing i can really se wrong with the flashlight is the reflections from the stairs and railing is way to much.

Length of WAN show: what goes up must come down I guess 😢 Still super amazing, thanks for all your content each week 😊

As someone who has been driving semi for over half a decade, autonomous semi trucks don't have to be that good to be better than the average. I have seen so many careless drivers, even in my own yard I work out of where we have a very good safety record. I truly believe it will come sooner than anybody anticipates.

I agree, I was like this is just bodycam until the flashlight, it just gives it away. Then after seeing it really is a video game footage, you see all the other tells.

Linus should buy a few Flashlights and see how they look... There are some that have such defined circles, BUT since the wall is very close it should reflect form the wall and light up the whole room. I have a 1800 lumen flashlight, when I point it up the white roof, the whole room is bright as if I turned on the lights. Not daylight bright tho.

Awwww down to under 4 hours. Oh well. The wan show is love. The wan show is life.

Partition for 10 hours WAN Show 2:00:55

For the SpaceX thing... I work as a researcher at an engineering firm. No one that knows what they're talking about talks shit on Twitter, because that's a dumb thing to do if you want to continue being liked in your field. People know each other, and word gets around... also, actual experts understand how hard that stuff is and know they'll make their own mistakes

Linus thanks for that bit in the end it cracked me up. I have ADHD and A.S.S. but I am an extrovert person so that sometimes clashes but because my parents always supported me. It also helps that I had the mentality whenever someone said I could not do it I would prove them otherwise. both high school and Uni told me something in the lines of go work at a grocery, and I am now a mechanical /electrical engineer. At my work we joke that ever one who is an engineer has A.S.S. so i feel at home there :P. So teas as you say you need people who support you, I see to many of my friends just give up because very one said they could not do it....

Hopefully there will always be WanShow Operator DAN! ❤

Nintendo just solidified my stance of not ever using their products ever again. There's plenty of other entertainment out there

2:41:28 “I just need anything that vibrates”.... Well that's not going to be taken out of context 😅

To remark about the new format, I like it. I have found myself watching the whole WAN show a whole lot more recently where I hadn't been watching much at all before.

One day when Linus’ kids are asked if a skin is real and if it should be paid for it, they are going to answer, “yes, dad, it’s real, it’s digital art, someone worked on it and I’m paying for having it on my digital persona” and he is not going to have a valid comeback

"You can have a Go XLR!" HahahhahahahahahHhahaha I'm dying here...

I thought that game trailer was done in VR which I was really excited because that would be an awesome VR game

You know what I love about LTT. It's that everyone pretty much looks like they are all at home with family instead of a work place with workers ABCDEF and so on

That game demo looks fairly consistent with other UE5 content we've seen. It's extremely realistic but there are SO MANY things that make it obviously rendered. It worries me so many people have failed to notice that even when it has been pointed out

3:25:41 as a bicycle owner i do like that, it makes sure i hear the car coming, instead of feeling the car.

What Linus isn't understanding is that the skeptics of 'Unrecorded' (Including myself) believe that the video has been edited to make it look a video game lol.

The gameplay trailer seems to be using entirely precalculated lighting, hence why it looks so good, but any dynamic elements like the flashlight or enemies don't hold up so well. Right at the end it's extremely evident that the enemies aren't casting the proper shadows you'd expect for example. The flashlight also doesn't create any ambient light. Light should bounce off walls and light up the area outside its direct cone of light.

I would be a lot more okay with the dude getting railed by Nintendo if big $$ ceo types also got proportionally punished for their shenanigans. But nope.

Wifi motion detection is basically advanced radar using WiFi. There's she scary accurate stuff out there.

I think the conversation about the Mouse being better than a controller is about how you define "better." The mouse is more accurate, and gives you more control with out question, but does that make it better? If I had software that would shoot where ever my eyes looked, that would be even more accurate, so would that be better than the mouse? The controller generally will give you better ergonomics, and lets you play from many sitting positions, so in that regard it could be "better" I find arguments often occur because we don't all value the same things, yet try to profess one choice should be better than all others, based on our particular values.

The game demo footage reminds of when half life 2 was first demoed, the quality jump was so apparent and this feels the same. If you follow what epic has done unreal engine 5 when they showed how its new tools could be used to enhance the level details its not that a suprise that this could be done.
