02:24

waveform thumbnail have you got in

02:25

anything that's not a bird yet not yet

02:28

okay a squirrel it was funny in said it

02:30

would take a couple weeks before they

02:32

might trust the bird feeder but they

02:33

were there like day two tell Tim to uh

02:37

put that blue J in the thumbnail in the

02:39

thumbnail just just behind one of our

02:40

02:42

no one's going to know why that would be

02:44

awesome but yeah this app's pretty

02:46

awesome the bird feeder is pretty cool

02:47

it's a little pricey but do you get a

02:49

notification every time a bird shows up

02:51

you can change how you want it so mine

02:53

is if it's like Just Happening it'll be

02:56

like quick you can watch this bird live

02:58

and then at the end of the day it'll be

02:59

like you had x amount of birds show up

03:01

and these many different species and

03:03

then you can do a recap of all the ones

03:04

that came how's the solar roof do you

03:08

have to recharge it I have not had to

03:10

recharge it yet my only gripe right now

03:12

is I think I need to move it closer to

03:13

my house because the Wi-Fi connection

03:15

seems like it's going out a little which

03:17

isn't that's fault and 4K or 1080p

03:21

footage is locked behind a bird Buddy

03:24

Pro account oh which wait they only give

03:27

you 4K upell 720 I think it's 720 it's

03:31

pretty solid and I guess you're just

03:33

looking up birds so maybe I don't need

03:35

high res of you need 1080 you need 1080

03:38

4K baby what are you talking about how

03:39

much do you have toay how much is it I

03:41

don't know I don't feel like paying for

03:43

yeah I wouldn't either that's fair but

03:45

there's some people out there who might

03:47

appar think I can also send all of you

03:48

guys links to like join and watch this

03:51

bird feeder if you want the fact that

03:53

you haven't done that already I did and

03:55

nobody listened in slack you did where

03:59

send it vacation I'll send it again but

04:01

I'm pretty sure I send an invite code to

04:03

everyone in slack you can only have two

04:06

people so we'll just have to do so it's

04:08

the going to be the first two we'll have

04:10

to do like just a a bird iPad in this

04:13

office for anyone who wants to watch

04:15

such a good idea big brain it's like the

04:18

the emulating the pom Prix but yeah

04:21

putting a did it pick me up mowing the

04:23

lawn the other day Lon I don't think I

04:26

don't think it'll grab people but

04:28

squirrels though and then it'll say bird

04:30

type squirrel I can't wait for that to

04:33

happen nice yeah that's the bird Buddy

04:36

app fun that's fun speaking of birds

04:38

really quick I was doing some research

04:40

on Nikon because we were talking about

04:42

them a lot recently turns out they've

04:45

been kind of blowing up in the last

04:46

couple of years like their sales have

04:47

gone way up and remember that thought

04:50

keep going okay and a big reason is

04:53

because people are getting really into

04:55

birding right now yeah yeah cuz it's

04:57

awesome I love that for Humanity yeah

05:00

and I was talking to someone and they

05:01

were like yeah people are probably

05:02

getting into birding cuz it's like the

05:03

last thing that's kind of hard to shoot

05:06

cuz Birds move really fast and you have

05:08

to like get the midair and like it's

05:09

very it's pretty difficult to Wildlife

05:12

photography is fun and super difficult

05:15

especially like when you're used to

05:16

taking video and portraits like in a

05:19

controlled space and then you get zero

05:21

control over it you're like it's like

05:22

sports photography but smaller subjects

05:25

yeah and in Sports Photography they're

05:27

running in a circle over and over again

05:29

can find rectangle yeah yeah that's fair

05:31

yeah with like Wildlife you're like can

05:33

you go a little closer to that tree like

05:35

my framing is just not like set up here

05:37

and look at me but don't eat me but yeah

05:40

right exactly wait what what did I hold

05:42

the thought about with Nikon so you said

05:44

they it's been blowing up recently

05:46

speaking of blowing up I knew where that

05:48

was nice um Tesla laid off they just

05:51

blew up their entire supercharger team

05:53

it's just gone yeah specifically it

05:55

seems like Elon just did it one day wait

05:58

they shut down the supercharges no no

06:00

they laid off the entire supercharger

06:03

team now for those unfamiliar Tesla

06:06

superchargers pretty important part of

06:08

Tesla right um for when we talk about

06:11

electric cars almost every time we talk

06:13

about Tesla's Advantage we talk about

06:15

the supercharger Network which is if you

06:17

need to charge this car on a road trip

06:19

somewhere the only reliable consistently

06:23

reliable way to do that from our own

06:25

experience for years has been the

06:26

supercharger Network to the point where

06:29

one by one over the past few months

06:32

basically every EV maker that ships cars

06:35

to America is going to be switching

06:37

their port or shipping adapters to the

06:40

nacs port to to use Tesla Supercharger

06:43

Network because it's such a big selling

06:45

point here so all that being said Tesla

06:49

very suddenly laying off the entire

06:51

supercharger team which includes all the

06:54

permitting all of the site maintenance

06:56

all of the uh future planning and

07:00

basically just shutting down growth of

07:02

the supercharge Network like nipping it

07:05

right on on that day over 500 people

07:08

yeah seems like a pretty bold move yeah

07:12

um I think everyone sort of assumes that

07:14

it's for cost cutting and you know Tesla

07:16

stock price is doing one thing and we

07:18

want their you know profits to do the

07:20

other thing and so you know there's a

07:21

lot going on and pretty crazy ruthless

07:24

business decisions get made by this guy

07:25

all the time so yeah the supercharger

07:27

team is the latest victim completely

07:29

gone on uh I don't know how do we feel

07:32

like this is going to go yeah it's kind

07:34

of wild because like you said everyone

07:36

is moving to nacs and that layoff

07:39

included Rebecca tanushi who was the

07:41

senior director of EV charging and was

07:43

the person that pretty much like handled

07:46

all of the deals convincing all of the

07:48

other companies to switch to nacs yeah

07:50

so they kind of finished doing that and

07:53

then now the entire team is gone and

07:55

there were a bunch of employees that

07:56

literally said they were breaking ground

07:58

on new

08:00

and then they just got the news and all

08:03

of a sudden they just have to stop yeah

08:05

so it seems like at some point we're

08:07

going to feel the effects of it and I

08:09

think it would be well okay so there was

08:11

an Elon tweet about how oh we're

08:13

stopping growth and we're focusing on

08:14

just maintenance and uptime yeahor I was

08:17

just going to say like that my initial

08:18

thought on this and I don't follow stock

08:20

prices I don't know anything about

08:22

business but like when I first saw this

08:23

it felt like oh we built this crazy

08:26

supercharging system everybody loves it

08:28

it's the most reliable

08:30

everybody's going to it now thanks for

08:32

building it later like it's easier to

08:36

maintain something that you built

08:37

already instead of building it but it

08:39

seems like there's more of it yeah well

08:40

except for the fact that the amount of

08:42

cars using it is about to like

08:44

5x yes I'm not saying it's a good

08:47

decision but my first thought was like

08:49

it feels like they did it all and I feel

08:52

like we see that in Tech a lot it's like

08:54

oh thanks for building this awesome

08:56

software something like that inter good

08:58

luck building something some else we

09:00

what we need now the Peace of Mind

09:01

knowing that you're always going to have

09:03

a supercharger nearby is so important to

09:05

like ownership of an EV yeah s to

09:08

interrupt there's a lot of upcoming

09:09

locations on the map where people are

09:11

like I can't wait for that one cuz then

09:12

I can finally do this route I can

09:14

finally do this drive now it looks like

09:15

those aren't going to happen uhhuh so

09:17

yeah that's that's a bummer for those

09:19

yeah he tweeted Tesla still plans to

09:21

grow the supercharger Network just at a

09:22

slower pace for new locations and more

09:25

focus on 100% uptime And expansion of

09:27

existing locations so I don't know if

09:30

that means just adding more stalls to

09:32

existing

09:33

locations um the uptime is already

09:36

pretty dang good like they've had very

09:39

good uptime historically yeah I could

09:41

see focusing on uptime like you said if

09:43

it's going to be so many more people

09:45

maybe there's higher opportunity of the

09:47

uptime not being as good yeah and focus

09:49

on that but even if that is the focus

09:53

firing 500 people yeah and slowing the

09:56

growth of the network cuz no matter how

09:58

good the network is if we're talking

09:59

about gas cars the network looks like

10:02

crap yeah that's that's the two sides of

10:04

that car is like when you compare the

10:05

Tesla superer Network to gas cars it

10:07

seems like they need they have a lot of

10:09

growth to do but on the other side when

10:10

you compare the supercharge Network to

10:12

everyone else no longer needing to build

10:14

up their Network because they all just

10:15

signed on to do nacs it's like yeah we

10:17

won no one else is going to come close

10:19

to the Tesla super Jer network no need

10:20

to build it up anymore yeah it it feels

10:24

like when we're talking about like even

10:26

just Tesla or rivan in vehicle software

10:29

you're like like this is the best in

10:30

vehicle software of any car and you're

10:32

like how is it to an iPad it's like well

10:34

it's terrible yeah so like yeah there's

10:36

still so much room for growth here did

10:39

you guys read that story a couple weeks

10:40

ago about the I think it was an F-150

10:43

Lightning or no it was a rivan owner

10:46

that charged his car at a supercharger

10:48

and it was like right after he got his

10:51

adapter and he had a Tesla owner like

10:54

call the cops on him because he was like

10:57

it is illegal for you to do this you can

10:59

be doing this and he's like bro no they

11:01

opened it up and he's like no this is

11:03

only for Tesla users yeah little culty

11:06

little weird okay yeah the problem is

11:08

the signs still say Tesla charging only

11:11

that's true oh do they I've never not

11:13

all the signs at supercharger have a big

11:15

T and it says Tesla Supercharger

11:17

supercharging only which they obviously

11:19

mean just because don't park here and

11:21

take up a spot but previously it was

11:23

only Teslas that's very funny yeah I

11:26

it's also hilarious that person called

11:28

the cops

11:29

the biggest overreaction ever oh yeah

11:31

yeah did you also see rivan has decided

11:33

to open up their their Adventure Network

11:36

to all EVS all five of them yeah

11:39

everyone so I mean they don't have a ton

11:40

of chargers obviously but they do plan

11:42

on switching to and updating with necs

11:45

and allowing everyone to charge on their

11:46

Adventure Network as well well maybe

11:48

half of these Engineers will go to rivan

11:50

and start expanding the rivan if charge

11:52

I wonder how much capital and how big of

11:55

a head start Tesla's network has over a

11:58

realistic competitor to like make a

12:00

difference I feel like an insane amount

12:02

like even if you start building a

12:03

secondary nacs Network today I guess you

12:06

don't have to start you could just be

12:07

electri America and just start like

12:09

switching them all to nacs and building

12:11

a ton more could that realistically be

12:13

the like standard of up time someday I

12:15

don't know no seems despite the Head

12:19

Start if there were ever a time to want

12:21

to try and chip away at that Head Start

12:24

it's when they fire 500 people who built

12:26

that Head Start so who knows yeah all

12:29

right I'm working on a hold on too late

12:32

wait you don't have a you're working on

12:34

a segue yeah oh but this is a tough I've

12:37

got one this is a you do you have one

12:39

I'm willing to hear it speaking of what

12:42

could be happening on the horizon with

12:45

things like the Tesla Supercharger

12:46

network but also Meta Meta just start

12:50

started licensing The Horizon OS that it

12:53

uses on its Quest To Third parties ah

12:57

yeah yeah they did I find really funny

12:59

because I don't know if you guys

13:01

remember back when Microsoft was trying

13:03

to make Windows AR headsets and they

13:07

they like open sourced it so like Dell

13:09

made a headset it was mixed reality it

13:10

was Windows mixed reality Dell made a

13:12

headset uh Lenovo made a headset isus

13:15

made a headset it was like

13:17

2016 or

13:19

2017 um when the quest was first

13:23

starting to like take off like Oculus

13:25

connect one or two so Windows was like

13:28

we got to get in on this and they made

13:30

like paint 3D and all of these 3D

13:33

applications that sounds awesome I mean

13:35

it was pretty Co 3D yeah bro so they

13:38

basically just like wanted you to be

13:40

able to use Windows in mixed reality and

13:42

so all of these third parties made a

13:44

bunch of Hardware to be able to use with

13:46

it nobody bought it and then Microsoft

13:50

didn't support it they didn't keep it up

13:52

like at all they just didn't keep

13:54

updating it at all they eventually just

13:55

gave up and this is kind of the Playbook

13:57

it seems like very Google of them yeah

13:59

except like Google at least makes like

14:01

the underlying stuff sometimes Microsoft

14:05

basically didn't sell Hollow lens to

14:06

regular people so they didn't have a

14:08

first-party headset so they just relied

14:10

on third parties to make the headsets

14:13

that would work with Windows mixed

14:15

reality and now meta decided that it's

14:18

going to license Horizon OS so now if

14:21

you're Lenovo or Dell or Asus you can

14:23

just build basically a quest for but

14:28

running your own

14:30

Hardware um Vision Pro yeah they want to

14:34

be they want to be Android right they're

14:36

all meta is now all about open source

14:39

and they're all about like I guess we

14:40

can't build the metaverse by ourselves

14:43

and all this stuff um they're also

14:46

making a limited run gaming focused

14:48

quest with Xbox just for Xbox that makes

14:52

a ton of it's they're they're trying to

14:55

I I see what that's going to be

14:57

PlayStation has PlayStation VR and and

14:59

like it's not the most popular but like

15:02

Xbox is going to want to do that

15:03

eventually why wouldn't meta be the one

15:05

that could make money off of that yeah

15:07

that makes it too much sense honestly
