About this stream
Overall, the stream centers on privacy, surveillance, and technology policy, blending discussion of government regulation, facial recognition, and the security of smart home cameras with commentary on companies like Ring and issues like encryption. The vibe is casual but investigative: the host sits in a homey kitchen/living space, speaks in a thoughtful, opinionated tone, and moves between policy talk, tech industry moves, and current events, occasionally punctuating with brief, offhand remarks. The posted timestamps and dialogue suggest a stream that weaves political/regulatory critique with tech product scrutiny, peppered by moments of light, improvised humor or real-time reactions. Minor audio cues (like a zipper and crunch) hint at a laid-back, informal atmosphere despite the dense topics.

to rules, maybe even a ban on facial recognition
of others in public.
And they're bringing in experts to figure out regulations.
Moves like this are looking super trendy
in Europe right now,
amid growing privacy concerns over the technology.
In Germany, a new idle complaint against Meta
and others over AI glasses.
- Yeah, East Germany was already a civilian state, baby.
It's played out.
It's so last century.
Ring, Amazon's home security camera company,
is rolling out Take,
its new default encryption for camera footage.
It temporarily gives Ring access to encryption keys
for features like smart alerts, then deletes them.
The customer and their chosen shared users
can still access the footage,
while Ring says it can no longer decrypt it itself.
It's not as secure as true end-to-end encryption,
which Ring also offers, but it keeps cloud features working.
Don't worry, Amazon put a lock on their people.
Finally, I can spy on my neighborhood,
but protect my privacy.
Xbox is celebrating its 25th anniversary
with some cool new accessories,
especially the translucent green,
Razer keyboard and mouse,
and that GameSir phone controller thingy.
Given how Xbox has been doing,
I guess the brand is
its place in the industry
before it goes the way of the Dreamcast.
There's also Ikea's Xbox collab,
headlined by a giant thumbstick stool.
Have a couple of drinks while sitting on that thing,
and you may physically experience stick drift.
OpenAI has shared benchmarks for its custom AI chip
in partnership with Broadcom,
codenamed Jalapeno.
And NVIDIA should probably start sweating,
like I am in this sweater, holy.
The benchmarks show Jalapeno going toe-to-toe
with NVIDIA's GB200 and GB300 Blackwell chips,
and beating them by as much as 1.9 times
on performance per watt,
while responding up to 3.6 times faster.
It's the clearest sign yet that NVIDIA's grip is loosening,
especially considering OpenAI is one of the biggest buyers
of NVIDIA's GPUs.
It's also worth noting OpenAI ran these tests itself.
Could all be BS,
can't have a Jalapeno without a grain of salt.
And Apple, in an act of financial mercy,
has refreshed its polishing cloth
with a new reduced price tag,
slashing what you'll pay from $19 reduced
down to a more manageable nine bucks.
The new cloth is reportedly subtly softer and less stiff,
making Apple's meme famous expensive rag,
just a little less outrageous,
and more like me in my old age.
With RAM and SSB rights going bonkers,
maybe paying nine bucks for cloth
is as good of a tech deal as we're gonna see.
Just like I better see you,
on Friday for more tech news.
- That's not Linus talking though.
That is zoned by Linus.
Dude, so many thumbnails are just made with AI,
and it's like so obvious, and I hate it.
- Take a shot.
- Dude, alcohol is only useful
when there's no other drug available in my arsenal.
And even then-
- Take a shot.
- And even then, it's really not useful.
Does a bad job even at that.
Of course, Chris Hansen uploaded a fucking EDP 445 interview.
How does Chris Hansen suddenly become irrelevant again?
Thought like he fell off, bro.
What happened?
- RS Patrick sent a link to YouTube there.
- We want to use game theory and step back
and ask ourselves why this war is happening.
- Okay.
- Because once you figure out
what the motivations of the players are,
then you can figure out how far this goes, right?
Because the players are trying to win
and they're gonna try to win in a way
that is the least harmful or the easiest way to win,
if that makes sense.
- Yeah, it does 'cause it's kinda like poker.
So say if I got an okay hand,
I might bluff a little in the beginning
or go in on a few blinds or something,
but I'm not gonna probably raise it to the end of the line
because I know what I have.
I'm gonna wait for another hand.
- Right.
So let's look at game theory and ask ourselves,
who are the major players in this game
and what do they want?
- Okay.
- Okay, so you have the United States, of course.
You have Iran.
You have Israel.
And I would say the fourth major country, Saudi Arabia.
- Okay.
And why are we even in this conflict?
- That's right.
So we're trying to figure this out.
- Because that's been a big question in America,
especially amongst a lot of my peers.
Why are we there?
Why are we putting our troops there?
It doesn't seem like we have a real interest.
I know there's the rumors of weapons of mass destruction.
Again, there's rumors of nuclear weapons held by Iran,
but I think people, a lot of people,
feel like we've fallen for that trap before.
- Yes.
- In Iraq.
- Yes.
- And in Kuwait.
- Yes.
- And that it could just be the same sort of fool's errand again.
- Yeah, exactly.
So it's a great question.
Like why did America attack Iran after the failures of Afghanistan and Iraq?
- Well, and also Trump, our president,
said that we would not go to war with Iran that's right that's right so yeah what do you think's
happening yeah so i want to refer you to you to something called a clean break memo okay clean
break memo yes it's really important we understand this if we understand what's going on the clean
break memo uh maybe your producer can bring it up the clean break memo written in 1996 okay okay
and and so let me give you some background so um bill clinton is all in office and bill clinton is
obsessed with peace in the middle east and this is probably it probably yeah yeah and the israelis
have to say that now is a good time for a two-state solution and the reason why is that throughout
its history um israel was always in conflict with the other arab nations around it because of the
palestinian issue right and the idea is that if israel is to have security it needs to resolve
the palestinian issue it needs to give the person its own state and then and then once that happens
then uh the arab nations can uh uh resume diplomatic relations with israel they can trade peacefully
and the middle east will be prosperous and peaceful right but you first have to resolve the palestinian
issue because a lot of the palestinians were muslim right that's right and a lot of the surrounding
areas are also muslim around israel also muslim that's right so aesthetic towards the uh their
kind muslims right so for example sardar arabia uh the royal family said that as long as the
palestinian issue is not resolved we will have peace with israel okay so this is what we call the oslo
peace process yeah the oslo accords right that's right that's right and um and the majority of the
israeli population was in favor of this and the major leader uh who are spearheading this movement in
israel is uh exactly being what's the name uh is that we've been i'll spell it for you okay is that
isaac isaac isaac rabin rabin isaac rabin yes okay isaac rabin and he was determined to um have
eternal peace with the palestinians to resolve this issue once and for all by giving them a state okay so he
and clinton were aligned with figuring this out that's right that's right and they also had arafat
to help them out as well and they and the arab nations especially saudi arabia were very supportive
of this process but there was one person who was opposed to the peace process his name is
benjamin netanyahu and he assembled a team of people mainly americans um
