SPEAKER_2 (0:30)

And great topics for you this week.

SPEAKER_3 (0:32)

Luke, you're so out of practice at this.

SPEAKER_2 (0:34)

I never intro the show.

SPEAKER_3 (0:36)

What's up everybody?

SPEAKER_1 (0:38)

Happy Friday. There we go.

SPEAKER_3 (0:39)

And welcome to The WAN Show.

SPEAKER_2 (0:42)

Oh, it's the second, I skipped a part.

SPEAKER_3 (0:45)

Okay, I can't do it either.

SPEAKER_2 (0:48)

We are both sick this week. He's way more sick than I am. I guess he's this way. He's way more sick than I am. So I'll do what I can.

SPEAKER_1 (0:57)

But yeah, Linus.

SPEAKER_3 (0:57)

It's gonna be great, you guys.

SPEAKER_2 (0:59)

There you go.

SPEAKER_3 (1:00)

The good news is it's been a heck of a week, man.

SPEAKER_1 (1:03)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (1:04)

What all went on? Like, I don't know how we're gonna pick four bizarre, outlandish, incredible, discussion worthy things from this week and narrow it down to just four. Okay, like what was it yesterday? Tesla held finally after, I think it's seven years, eight years, nine years. I forget how many years it is, but they finally unveiled the Roadster 2, and it does a backflip with cold thrusters?

Okay. In other minor news, bot activity allegedly drops after Ukraine strikes Russian data centers. Although, there may be some propaganda flowing an unexpected way on this one. What else we got?

SPEAKER_2 (2:03)

Lots of things. PlayStation has been kind of under attack by a lot of different people. And we have a continuation of that story this week with free PS5 game store being, using a jailbreak that is apparently, unfortunately, already been shut down, so you won't be able to take advantage of it. But there's other things in that realm as well that I think we're going to be talking about. Also, I mean, yeah, there are a ton of different topics. I'm going to jump on this one. Fortnite on Linux?

Maybe? I still won't play it, but it's cool, because it means more stuff on Linux, which is good for everyone, including if you're a dedicated forever Windows person. It's still good for you.

SPEAKER_3 (2:45)

Wait, the Spark launch isn't even in here.

SPEAKER_2 (2:49)

That's okay.

SPEAKER_3 (2:52)

Okay.

The show is brought to you today by AMD, MSI, UPDF, and Scribe, along with of course our rap partner Dbrand, our laptop partner Dell, and our chair partner Razer. I'm just gonna have my head right here. Look, they haven't sent me one for at home, okay? That's all I'll say. Absolute worst show.

SPEAKER_2 (3:41)

We should jump right into your ad block thing. We should just do it.

SPEAKER_3 (3:47)

I couldn't even pick that one, it's one of the four.

SPEAKER_2 (3:50)

But it's the name of the show, man.

SPEAKER_3 (3:52)

Dan, I sent you a couple of screenshots earlier.

Can you go ahead and fire the skinny one up first, because this was actually a conversation with Luke. Yeah, there it is. Okay, so look, I don't want to specifically call out PC Gamer, but this is PC Gamer's website.

SPEAKER_2 (4:13)

They're not the only problem.

SPEAKER_3 (4:15)

I was trying to read a pretty cool article.

I don't remember what cool article it was. It was pretty good. I was enjoying it. So I just want to shout out the quality of this article that I was reading on PC Gamer.

SPEAKER_2 (4:30)

I love that there is genuinely no possible way to figure it out based on the screenshot.

SPEAKER_3 (4:36)

Yes, that was the punchline. Thank you, Luke, for getting there before I did.

SPEAKER_2 (4:39)

Got it.

SPEAKER_3 (4:40)

And this guy.

There are, there are, let's count them, okay? One, join the community. Yes, it's self-promotion, but that is still an ad. One, two, that floating video ad up in the top right. So those two are both persistent. As I'm scrolling down my page, three, whatever Xeqt is, I don't even know. Apparently, it's an RBC product. Don't care.

Also, you know what? No, I'm not going to say anything about RBC.

I still need to bank there, but whatever. Okay? So I got an RBC ad. And then last but not least, I've got whatever a Pulse Bad is. Also, you know what? Don't care. I have four ads on my screen, and I have zero content. So that Join the Community one, the floating video one, that take over in the bottom, that isn't even clean. Like it's not even, it's not even clean cut across the bottom of the screen. So I can't, I couldn't hold my phone left handed. I've actually been starting to get a little bit of scroller's thumb in my right hand. And I've been, I've been trying to just like scroll less.
