Good day everybody. Dr. Sajja Sanyal, Professor Department Chair. This is a supine cadaver. This is the right forearm. I'm standing on the right side. Camera person Mr. Sherwin Weeks is also on the right side. We shall be demonstrating the extensor aspect and the muscles and the extensor aspect of the forearm. So let's start with this structure here. This is the supinator muscle. The supinator muscle, as you can see, it takes origin from deep inside from the supinator crest of the alma and it wraps around the radius from the posterior aspect, lateral aspect and the anterior aspect and it covers the entire surface of the radius above the anterior and posterior oblique lines. This supinator muscle, as you know, is a supinator of the forearm in any position of the forearm, whether it is flexed or extended, unlike the biceps, which can supinate only when the forearm is slightly flexed. Now this supinator muscle is pierced by this nerve. This is the radial nerve. This is the deep branch of the radial nerve and we can see it is going under a fibrous arch. This fibrous arch is located in the superficial proximal aspect of the supinator and this fibrous arch is referred to as the arch of frosty. The radial nerve can get potentially entrapped in this fibrous arch of frosty to produce what is known as the supinator entrapment syndrome. And if you were to look here, you will find that the radial nerve is coming deep.  So supinator muscle is split into a superficial and a deep part by this radial nerve. The next muscle of the extensor compartment is this muscle that we see here. This is the brachioradialis. The brachioradialis is ideally supposed to take origin from above the lateral epicondyle and this is the lateral epicondyle where my thumb is located. But this has got an anatomical variation. It is taking an extensive origin from above the lateral epicondyle and from this lateral supracondyle ridge and it is also merging with some of the fibres of the triceps. The brachioradialis in this particular cadaver is continuing down and it had also shared fibres with this muscle which I have to tell you just a little while later. And the muscle then becomes the flat thin tendon which gets inserted just above the stellar process of the radius. Now the important thing about this brachioradialis is that it is a flexor of the forearm even though it's a muscle of the extensor compartment, it flexes the forearm weakly when the forearm is semi-pronated like this. Therefore if there's a paralysis of the flexors of the forearm brachioradialis can still weakly flex the forearm. Undercover of the brachioradialis we have two structures and I'm going to show the two structures to you right now. This is the first structure. This is the radial artery which runs under cover of the brachioradialis. We have completely separated out and the second structure is this one here. This also was running under cover of the brachioradialis. This is the superficial division of the radial nerve. This responses under the tendon of this brachioradialis and then it supplies the skin on the dorsal aspect of the hand and we can see the branches. One branch is going to the thumb, other branch was going to the dorsal aspect of the hand. So we have retracted this side. This is the place where we just above the radial stellar process that we tap with the knee hammer to produce what is known as the brachioradialis reflex jerk. Next muscle that you see which is taking origin from the lateral epicondyle is this muscle here. This is the combined origin of the extensor carpyradialis longus and the extensor carpyradialis grievis which get inserted on to the base of the second and the third carpyradialis respectively. This extensor carpyradialis is one of the superficial muscles and this is the basis of certain tests which I shall describe just a little while later which is applied in the cases of lateral epicondyleitis also known as tennis elbow. To continue with the other muscles in the extensor aspect, we see this muscle. This muscle is also taking origin from the lateral epicondyle. This is the extensor digitorum and we can see the fibers are breaking up into four tendons. In this particular cadaver it is breaking up into three tendons. Ideally it should break up into a fourth tendon. This is the extensor digitorum. Some books call it the extensor digitorum comedis. You can see the tendons are going to the index finger, middle finger and ring finger and one tendon should also go to the little finger. I shall mention the tendons through which they pass just in a little while. Another muscle that we can see in the superficial compartment of the extensor aspect is this muscle here. This is the extensor carpyradialis which is also taking origin from here. So these are the three superficial muscles of the extensor compartment that we can see here. This lateral epicondyleitis which I mentioned just a little while back also called the tennis elbow is quite a common condition when there is no specific inflammation of the common extensor origin of these muscles. And these muscles are the basis of certain stress tests. One of them is called the Mil's test which is used to stress the extensor carpyradialis brevis and the longus. Then there is another test called the Kozen's test which also stresses these extensor carpyradialis longus brevis and extensor carpyranaris. And there is a third test called the Monsley test which stresses the extensor digitorum. Now we shall go a little deep. I am going to retract this muscle and I am going to show you these muscles taking origin. This is the first deep muscle. This is taking origin from deep under these muscles and we can see it is crossing over the extensor carpyradialis longus and brevis. This is the combined origin of the abductor polisus longus and extensor polisus brevis. Now here we have something very interesting. This abductor polisus longus. As we know the word longus means it is a long muscle. Obviously this is a long muscle that is why it is called abductor polisus longus. But here we find that it is getting inserted onto the base of the metacarpal bone. We do have an abductor polisus brevis on the thinner eminence of the thumb and we can see that here. The abductor polisus brevis is a small muscle that is why it is called a brevis but it is getting inserted onto the radial aspect of the thumb, proximal phalanx of the thumb. So here there is a potential contradiction. A longus muscle is inserted proximally and a brevis muscle is inserted distally. Both these are abductors of the thumb. The first one abductor polisus longus it abducts it at the carpo metacarpal joint. Abductor polisus brevis abducted at the first metacarpal phalangeal joint. The next one is the extensive polisus brevis. And we can see it is shedding fibres with the abductor polisus longus and it is continuing down to the base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb. This is the extensive polisus brevis. We do have a counter opposite muscle on the thinner eminence that is the flexor polisus brevis which is inserted onto the base of the proximal phalanx through the radial sesamoid bone. These two muscles they form the lateral boundary of this cavity here which is called the anatomical snub box. The next deep muscle that we can see here is this one here. This is the extensive polisus longus and we can see this after taking origin it makes a sharp angle. This angle is made around this bori prominence here where my thumb is located. This is called the dorsal tubercle of blister on the dorsal aspect of the radius. And here it makes an angle and it gets inserted onto the distal phalanx of the thumb. This forms the medial boundary of the anatomical snub box. So therefore this is the anatomical snub box. Now this region has got plenty of clinical correlations. Let me mention those clinical correlations after I have described the content. I have picked up this structure here. This is the radial artery. Radial artery as I told you it runs under cover of the brachioradialis and we can see it running. And then it goes under the abductor polisus longus and the extensive polisus brevis. It comes to the anatomical snub box. It crosses here and then it passes through the first dorsal introsius. This is the first dorsal introsius and then it goes into the palm where it forms the deep palm arch. There is a condition which involves these tendons. The abductor polisus longus and the extensive polisus brevis that is called washer woman's hand. In earlier days washer women used to wring the clothes and therefore this to get nonspecific inflammation of this. Nowadays of course nobody uses their hand to wash clothes because everybody uses washing machine. But people still call it gamer's thumb, laparie thumb, texting thumb. Nonspecific inflammation of this is called decurban's tino cyanobitis. Inflammation of this tendon, extensive polisus longus is called drummer's wrist. Because the tendon makes a sharp bend here and it gets inflamed when the person keeps using the thumb. Musicians use it for long hours. Let me now come to the extensor digitorum. As I said extensor digitorum is running through this tunnel here. And it is breaking up into three. It should break up into four tendons. We can see these connecting bands. These are inter-tendonous junctions. These help to hold the tendons together and prevent them from playing out and helps to coordinate the action of these tendons. Accompanied this extensor digitorum on the deep aspect we can see yet one more tendon which is coming from all on our side of the tendon to the index finger. This is a separate muscle and we can see this muscle is this one here. This is the extensor indices. This is also one of the deep muscles and it also goes to the extensor tendon of the index finger. Likewise, the little finger also has got its own separate tendon. In this particular cadaver both the tendons are coming together through a separate tunnel. This is the extensor digiti minimi. So this is considered as the tendon of the extensor digitorum and the other one is considered as the extensor digiti minimi. Though in this particular cadaver as I said both of them are running through one separate tunnel. Let's take a look on the torso aspect of the wrist. We can see this tough fibro structure here. This is what is known as the extensor retinaculum. I have cut out the extensor retinaculum in certain places to show the tendons. Extensor retinaculum was a tough sheet of fascia which was a continuation of the anti-barricle fascia. It was attached laterally to the radius and it went obliquely up like this and we can see the remnant of that and it went medially and it got attached to the carpal bones namely the pisiform and the trichotron. Under this there are six tunnels and each of those tunnels are occupied by one or more tendons with their sonovir sheets. So let's take a look at those tunnels. The first tunnel is this one which I mentioned forms the lateral boundary of the canada beaker snuck box. That is the abductor policies longest and extensor policies bravest and we can see the tunnel here. This is the first tunnel. I have split open the extensor retinaculum to show you the tunnel. It was located here. The second tunnel is this one here and I have split it open to show you. This is occupied by the extensor carpal radius longest and extensor carpal radius bravest. Then we have a third tunnel which also have split open and this is that third tunnel. This was occupied by extensor policies longest. This is the one I said is responsible for what is producing drummer's wrist. Then we have a fourth tunnel and this tunnel is located here. We can see this tunnel here which I have split open again. This is occupied by the extensor digitorum extensor indices. But in this case as I mentioned there was an anatomical variation. The tendon to the little finger is not passing through this tunnel. Then we have a fifth tunnel and that is occupied by the tendon to the little finger and the extensor digiti minimi in this particular cadaver. But in another person this tunnel will be occupied only by the extensor digiti minimi. Last but not the least we have this tunnel here. This is occupied by the extensor carpal radius. So these are the six tunnels which are located under the extensor retiniculum and each of these tendons are lined by sign of a sheet so as to reduce friction. So this is what we see in the dorsal aspect of the wrist under the extensor retiniculum and further distally we can see the tendons going to the dorsal aspect of the fingers. I have split open the dorsal aspect of the middle finger to show you how these extensors go. They form an expansion which is called the dorsal digital expansion or naponiotic expansion. And then they split into three bands. The median band gets inserted onto the middle phalanx and the two lateral bands they go and get inserted onto the distal phalanx. Rupture of this distal phalanx band can produce what is known as a mallet finger where the distal phalanx will not be able to be extended by the patient. That happens in baseball players, in basketball players and it can happen also in housewives when they are tucking the bedsheets. Now I want to show you the neurovascular structures. Take a look at this structure here. This is the deep branch of the radial nerve which I mentioned earlier. This is the posterior introsius nerve. And if you look carefully, when I'm exerting traction on the main radial nerve here, you will find this will be moving. We can see this is moving. So this is the posterior introsius nerve. Once the deep branch of the radial nerve pierces through the supinator muscle, it becomes known as the posterior introsius nerve. And we can see before it pierces through, it gives this branch here. This is the branch to the extensor carbide radialus longus. This posterior introsius nerve, it continues and it supplies all the muscles on the extensor aspect. And we can see the continuation of the posterior introsius nerve here. And we can see further continuation of the posterior introsius nerve here also. This posterior introsius nerve, it passes through the fourth compartment along with the extensor digitorum tendons. What we cannot see here is that it is also accompanied by the anterior introsius artery which pierces through the introsius membrane and comes here. But in this particular cadaver, it is too small and it is not visible here. So these are the structures that we can see in the various compartments on the dorsal aspect of the hand and the wrist and the forearm. Thank you very much for watching.

Hopefully audio is better too. I put up even more foam than I had before. Oh, perfect. Beater. Vulcan. Okay, with something. Joan.  Rick. Is it bright enough for you? It's much brighter now. I told you, this background I just moved is a work in progress everyone. It's much better now. Work, it's a thing. Work in progress, and it's still, it'll work in progress, but I got a whole bunch of stuff. You could spot some cool pics behind those Easter eggs. So you're gonna have to see what you can see. Don't you love the one right here that's so perfect for me?  Those who know are in the know. Keduna, Keduna, you are my Sonya. Classic. Anyways, today we got a, this is a. Ow, ouch, what happened? Smacked myself with my wedding ring. This is a trailer of a new Disney Plus Hot Star. Oh yes. I think it's a film. But it's called A Thursday. A Thursday. The Stupid Baby's DM me on that one. You wanna read who's in that? I would. It's Yami Gutsumdar, Atu Klokarni, and Nihad Dupia. In fact, I saw a lot of this on his Instagram account. And I, only reason, if you DM me stuff, it goes without saying most of you know this, but if you're new, I don't look at it because I don't decide what we react to and don't even forward stuff typically. The lead actress, Yami, was the ground officer in Uri. Hey, cool. The lady who plays the prime minister is Dimple Kapadia, veteran actress, Akshay's mom-in-law. Several movies including Dil Chhat Tahae, Luck by Chance, and Tenet. Speaking of Dil Chhat Tahae. You saw Tenet? Yeah. Did you understand it? Yes. I know you didn't understand it. I didn't think it was amazing. Several million people didn't understand it. I didn't think it was amazing or anything, but it wasn't confusing. Well, the visual effects are fricking amazing. That's for sure. It was not a confusing film for me. Oh, really? I'm still confused. Anyways, but... So what's that about? I don't know. They didn't tell me. So let's just find out. No, no, no. Tenet. That's not weird. We're doing this. He doesn't know. Okay, I don't care enough about Tenet. I can explain it to you. Anyways. The official trailer, Disney Plus Hearts Star, a Thursday. Not to be confused with a Wednesday.  I'm talking to Jaiswal, the teacher here. I've made 16 kids a hostage. Oh, that's not right. That's my customer answer. I'm talking to the ACP captain. Welcome home. My name is Savitri. And one more kid is coming. No, no, listen to me. No, you listen to me. I want to talk to Javed Khan. And you're one out. No, no. What do you want? Five crores. Wow. One kid. That's so different. 16 kids are not hostage. What is going on? Naina has gone mad? Naina has gone mad. Moven. What are you doing? What's going on with the kids? Back off, Javed! I'm telling you the truth. You're mad. Really? You're my real mad. Now watch. And if the police didn't give me a divorce, I'll be dead in an hour in an alphabetic or not. Now you'll see who will win. The police or Naina's mad. Who's going to be in the media? What are you doing, Naina? Why aren't you telling me anything? I want to speak to the Prime Minister of India. What? Should I say it again? Ma'am, it's a boss death situation. Ma'am, do you want to say something? Did you talk to Naina? If she didn't talk to me, then the next kid's death sentence will be given to the Prime Minister of India. Keep the commandos on standby. What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm not talking to you. Wait a minute. Javed Khan, I told you before, A4, I wish... Nice. Great trailer. You couldn't do this in America. That's too close to reality. But unfortunately, but that was really... I love the concept of it. Of one, it's not just like about... It's a woman. That's the first thing I was going to talk about. Normally, it's like, OK, this man's just... Right. A psychopath. You don't see that a lot with women being the psychopath. Or maybe she's not and this is a plan on a Wednesday. And remember, that was the whole thing in a Wednesday. Right. He was kind of... It was an actual bomb. Right. It was... Right. So I don't know if that's... I don't think that is. We don't know. We just saw the trailer. But that was one of the things that impressed me because there's not only is it unusual in terms of what you typically see in a film. It's unusual in what you typically see in this kind of a crime. It's... And it's doubly shocking because the whole maternal sense of protecting children is so completely antithetical to think that someone could just cold-heartedly say, I'm going to start off in the kids alphabetically. That's mental enough as it is. But when you hear it coming from a woman like that, it adds a whole other layer of disturbance. Yeah. I loved one of the edit choices when she did this playfully to the kids and they did this playfully back. Mm-hmm. Great choice. I... I... This looks really good. Yeah. Disney Hot Stars seems to be putting out a lot of good content. As of... I mean, I don't know if... Because I know Hot Stars have been around for a long, long time but Disney bought them. Right. So I don't know if Disney has decided to just put a bunch of money behind it. Kind of like Netflix has in Amazon. Yeah, didn't they? They have more subscribers than Netflix and Amazon in India. Yeah. Well, didn't... I remember when Disney expanded... Because of cricket. Wasn't... Was it Hot Star or was it another thing that Disney invested in for their more adult content? Because they can't put something like this on Disney. It's outside their brand of what people expect on Disney. I think that's American stuff, but that's Hulu. And Fox. Oh, that's Fox. It's Hulu and Fox. Okay, Fox. I think that's probably internationally what they're doing here with Hot Star. Yeah. But they actually put their name on it, which... Maybe they just... Maybe they do that internet, because obviously they own everything, so they own Fox Now, they own Hulu and so like they own all these conglomerates. But they'll get the money for it. Right. But they don't have to put the Disney family name on it. Right. This, I don't know, the Disney family name might just bring more people in. It sure will, but it's very interesting because it's a definite... They're doing stuff outside the brand and using the name attached to it. Yeah. Which, okay, expand the Mickey Mouse Kingdom. It looked really good. Yeah. It looked like something that was going to be intense. It looks... I'm wondering, I think it probably has to have something to do with a Wednesday. It's too similar of a story in terms of a terrorist telling I'm going to do something if you don't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and the name is One Day Off from a Wednesday. Right. It is. I have a feeling that it's... I venture to say it's Coincidenco. I think it's a coincidence. I think it's a coincidence and I think this just happens to happen on a school day that was a Thursday. Kind of like dog day afternoon. Just happened one afternoon. I don't think there's a... What about afternoon delight? Just as good as Turkish delight. Incorporate Turkish delight into your afternoon delight, especially if you do a nooner as part of the... What is it, the 35,000 Club? What do they call that? Yeah. The high altitude... A tool looks different here, doesn't it? People. Very. I felt like I wouldn't have recognized him if I didn't see his name. I probably, if I didn't see his name... I don't know, because I've been pretty good at spotting him because he has such a unique look and I love his work so much. But I might have thought to myself, how do we know that guy? And it would have been like the old Vijay Raj sightings where we would have completely missed somebody that we already know and respect. It also helps, I knew this by the name, because, like I said on his Instagram, I've seen him post some things about this. And it's one of those things, I like it and move on because I don't want to look at the trailers. It happens with everybody. All their new trailers and their teasers and stuff go out and I just go, like it, I can't look. Anyways, and now we do know about his Marathi film, Not Wrong, or something like that. And I've wanted to watch that for a long, long time. But unfortunately, the only place that's available is Z5 and I can get that. But the songs are not subbed. And apparently the songs are like integral, integral like they actually say important stuff in the songs. Oh. And it's like very poetic songs. And so I'm like, I don't, I don't wanna- It's so weird that they don't do that with the songs, too. Irrespective of- If I needed subs, why wouldn't I need subs for the songs? Exactly. I don't understand. Even if it's just a specialty item, you know, if it's an item number, there's lyrics. Why wouldn't we want to know what they're saying? Yeah, it's weird. Even if it was something as simple as... You are my Sonia. Keduna, Keduna, you are my son. Am I saying that right? You are. Okay. Do you know what song I like better? Tell me how it was. De de de de de de de- I'm a day, I'm a day. Don't play.


Hey, this is Brett with Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep headquarters. Today we are checking out this 2019 Jeep Renegade. And more importantly, we're checking out this new color that is on this vehicle. It is called Bikini Metallic Clear Coat. So I thought I'd just do a video of the vehicle and do a walk around all the way around. Do one side in the sun, one side in the shade. So you can get a good idea of how the light reflects off the vehicle if you're interested in this color. They do make it on the Renegades now. I believe I've seen it on the Wranglers as well, but Bikini Metallic Clear Coat is that color. It's kind of a mix between aqua green and a blue. A good looking color. And then we'll get into this particular vehicle. The stock number on this one is 9J394. Comes with Continental Cross Contact Tires. These are 21560R17s with the painted alloy rims. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it's like you're right here looking at the vehicle with me. Definitely your best way to check out the vehicle before seeing it in person.  Of course, you get these seven-slotted grill on the Renegades. Looks more teal in the shade. Renegades all come with the capitalist fuel fill, four-wheel disc brakes as you come around to the back. The iconic taillights there. This particular one has the enter and go system. We'll take a look at the window sticker. I always tell people that you can pause it so you can take a look at all the features on this particular vehicle. This is a latitude, has a cold weather group, passive entry and remote start package as well as the MySky Power retractable roof, which we'll check out as well. Inside the latitude gives you the black cloth interior driver seat height adjuster because it has a cold weather group. We get the all-weather floor mats, power windows, power locks, power mirrors and auto headlamps. Comes with the digital speedometer right there, compass display, and of course your odometer has the heated steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left. Comes with the 7-inch TFT, or I'm sorry, the 7-inch radio. You can do your heated seat controls and heated steering wheel controls right here as well as your backup camera. Also has AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. And this particular radio is the 4C radio, which means that you can do Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities on it. This is a four-wheel drive so you get the auto snow sand mud terrain settings as well as the four-wheel drive lock feature, the 9-speed automatic transmission dual climate control AUGS and USB jack. So renegades are really comfortable inside and you do get the dual roof. So that back piece actually comes out of the vehicle and then this one power retracts and is removable as well. Side opens up like that as a sunroof but you can completely remove it if you get the key and take it out there and those controls are right there, you've got your map lights up there. And this one also has a tilt and telescopic steering wheel and auto headlamps, latch child safety system, actually a decent amount of room back here and you get all weather floor mats back here as well as a USB plug-in.  You have your storage bin for those MySky pieces and we can take a look at the trunk here as well. You also get storage underneath here and then underneath here is your tire inflator kit and more storage. So that's a really nice case. Just a very good looking color, I hope you enjoyed the video, maybe learned a little bit more about this particular Jeep and to see more pictures of this Jeep or one of our other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, Wranglers, you name what we got to go to our website www.SummitAuto.com, full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at SummitAuto.com and if you'd like to check out more HD videos you can go to YouTube.com slash Summit Auto.

In fact in a second you will see a link to subscribe to our YouTube channel on your left, a link to more new car videos like this one on your right if you have not been to our website on the bottom link to this vehicle on our website, click those check us out and we really look forward to helping you with this brand new 2019 Jeep Renegade Latitude Cold Weather Group 4x4, thanks again.


The holiday season is right around the corner and Halloween is our first holiday to come kick off the Q4. Now if you don't know what Q4 is, you should definitely be paying attention. Q4 is the fourth quarter of the year where retailers make the bulk of their sales. And that includes us dropshippers. So you really want to know what's coming up, what holidays and what events that you should prepare for. So before we continue on to our top 10 list, make sure to hit that subscribe button so you can stay updated with all the latest product videos so that you can start making those profits. Now our first product of the day is Halloween costumes. Now this just happens to be something that I found in my garage, but most people right about now are already preparing what their Halloween costume is going to be. People get very excited about this stuff, whether it comes to family costumes, couples costumes, you have so many different niches to choose from. But what I'll do this time is I'll point out the top two costumes that we predict are going to be massive hits this year. Now the first character I'd like to introduce is Cruella DeVille from 101 Dalmatians, or more recently the Disney live action film with Emma Stone. I haven't seen that movie yet so if any of you have already watched it, let me know in the comments down below if I should check that movie out. So anyway you have a bunch of different things that you could do. You could have the full body costume including gloves, hair, gown, everything, you could have just the wig. Again a bunch of different variations I recommend, list them all and see what you get, see what sells. And the second costume that we predict will trend is the men's costume Joe Exotic from Tiger King. This is again another show I haven't watched, but it was super popular especially in the beginning of the pandemic and we just know that a ton of people are going to be dressing up as Joe Exotic this year. You're going to see it everywhere. So you've got different costumes here, just the hat, the wig, glasses, you even got this inflatable tiger over here where you can make really quite a bit of a profit margin there if the original price here is $89. So you might want to try out different variations and see what works for you. But those are our top two recommended costumes for this Halloween season. Our second product of the day is Halloween party masks. These have always been common and have been used for Halloween or balls and just make an easy kind of costume. Again, we have our top two recommendation for you. We've got masquerade masks, the classics, you know, things that you see here. And again, this is kind of a lower ticket item. So you might want to list more than one in your store just because people might buy a few of these, you know, they might pass them around at a party or buy a few for their family. You never know. And that's why I always recommend listing just a couple of them. The second mask, unfortunately, is scary clown masks. Well, this is part of the reason I hate this holiday. So you got this one. I feel like that it movie really made these popular. You have a bunch of different variations.  I will not be looking at them too long. Highly recommended products, list them in your stores. And again, go for a couple of variations and see what works as your best seller. Now our third product of the day is Halloween makeup kit. So you have a bunch of different variations here. You've got oil based paints, you've got water based paints, some kits that are entirely black and white where people can make clown faces again and skeletons and all different kinds of spooky things or, you know, more colors where they can draw, you know, cuter things like animals and things like that. And again, I recommend listing a few of them so you can make the best of Q4 and really sell a lot of products. Our fourth product of the day is Halloween pillow covers. This is a really cute product. People that want to get into the festive mood, they decorate their whole house or outside of the house. And now the decorations are coming to the inside of the house.  And what I recommend here actually a little helpful tip, let's say we go on Amazon and we want to look at all the different pillows that you could get and you want to list multiple variations in your store. Now it could be annoying to go and list them one by one and bring them over into your draft section and that's why I recommend you download the Autodesk extension. It'll collect all the products on this page and you can export it as a CSV file. Then after you export it, you upload it to your Autodesk account and it'll automatically put all of these products for you in your drafts, saving you a ton of time. Alright, our fifth product of the day is Halloween trick-or-treat bags.  But more commonly, you have the trick-or-treat bags which are fun and a cute product and you have so many different variations that you can list in your store, different themes. Even not seen here, you've got like the spooky themes here with Frankenstein, you've got the pumpkin, but you've also got superhero buckets and you can get very, very niche with this. So it's a pretty cool product and I definitely recommend that you start listing these in your stores. Our sixth product of the day is Halloween yardstick signs. Now like we said before, people love decorating, people love being festive and before we were talking about the inside of the house, now we're moving on to the outside of the house where people really go crazy. So this is a lower ticket item actually. It doesn't cost a lot and you have a bunch of different cute variations, you've got some spooky variations, I would not be happy with my neighbor.  Our seventh product of the day is Halloween hanging decorations. This is another outdoor decoration that a lot of people like to go for. Some can be a bit spooky, some can be a bit cute, but you also have very cool ones that are sometimes motion censored and make noises and even move and do things like that. So it could actually sometimes be a higher ticket item, meaning that you can make an even higher profit margin when you sell these in your stores. So I definitely recommend this product as well. This is a high seller and a popular product. Okay, our eighth product of the day is Halloween inflatables. Continuing on with our outdoor decorations, this is another really cool one and a lot of big crazy things that you could do here for people that love to go all out during Halloween and trust me, people love to go all out. I mean, it's still September but I'm already seeing people get in the mood and starting to decorate the outdoors of their houses so it is never too soon to start listing these products in your store. Our ninth product of the day is Halloween trick-or-treat candy bowls. Now this is a great product because either you could have a bowl that you bring out yourself to the trick-or-treaters or you could have a product where you just leave the bowl outdoors the whole time and you hope the trick-or-treaters go by the honor code and not take all the candy. It's a really great product. I recommend you list both type of bowls and obviously see what sells for you. Our tenth and final product of the day is Halloween fog machines. Now this gives some fun vibes to Halloween for those people that like to be a little bit extra. Now these are great for parties and all those types of things and not only that but this is also a year-round product so you could sell the regular fog machine which by the way is also a very high ticket item and leaves you with a high profit margin and then you can also sell the specialized fog machines that are themed just for Halloween like these cauldrons or those pumpkins we saw before with fog coming out of them. It's a pretty cool product and not only that this product gives you the chance to upsell and offer another product as people are checking out which is fog machine fluid. So what are you going to do with the fog machine without the fog machine fluid? So it's a high ticket item that also offers you a double sale. Definitely a great product for you to start listing in your stores and I think you should definitely be putting them up there. That's it for this Halloween product video. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you start listing all of these products in your store and if you haven't subscribed already make sure to hit that subscribe button and give this video a like.

OK, next. I want to give you a small tutorial on how to build the last CD. And first, I have to tell you that I'm not the one that will last the day, so I'm doing it presently. But it's a toss and do. Unfortunately, it's an accident and a really complicated infrastructure and it's presently covering. So I was asked to do a talk. I'm going to show you live CDs up to three years ago. So people came to me and asked me to just give an introduction. But I don't present this short on how a live CD is. And then I will present you my experience at building a live CD with the scripts that are available at Offensusan. OK, if there are two technical questions, I probably won't be able to answer them. So what is a live CD? A live CD is just a CD. It runs from CD. It doesn't have data except from CD. And you don't have to install it. Yeah, that's about it. What do you need it for? What could you use it from? We used it here too. We didn't spread out the situation.  You don't have to install anything. And most things basically were out of the box then. What do you use it as a rescue tool? Because it has an unneeded rescue system we deliver with our distribution. It has practically everything you might need in a DVD. Could use it, for instance, for security reasons. It's a Firework tool. Because it just can't modify anything with the runs from the CD. Knobbicks, on the other hand, are coming from the other side. They're started from a live CD. And it's only developed into a full distribution. You can install a knobbicks on the computer you just don't have to run it from CD. Because one of the drawbacks of running from CD is it's very resource intensive. You need a fairly fast computer and you need a very good amount of run to get an auto-tasking suite. So before we go into detail, we adjust the overview. We just move the normal code, we move them slightly larger in it. Then the normal process is started with a setup tool that loads storage modules and tries to locate the CD. Once it was done, it modded the CD and all the files from the file there, and then the tricky part starts because you just can't run on a regular old file. You need to have some write-in with the directory and this is really the tricky part at creating that. So I just take a data that has to be run on a copy and run this. Then the object is changed and at this point you have a normal unit running and the normal unit is started and things work as normal. So now I'm going to tell you about my experience last week when I cut my Justice Scripts from all these users and run it and look what happens. So what do you need? You need some sort of Linux installation media or you can use the open source effectority. You need another package which you can't just run the script on your running system or put it another way if you don't want to. You could probably do this in a small amount of time but it's normally not what you want. Then you need the Life City Scripts. You can just pick it up at Forge now and come. Unfortunately, the leak is rather complex. The easiest way is to search for Life City on Forge and that's what happens. It leads you to the old page and the subversion tree, so any data that are available don't get distracted. There is nearly no design coverage with documentation and stuff. Just check out the latest and download. The next step is to read the documentation. It comes with one read-define and actually the reader is very good. It explains the step-by-step and if you follow it, you are on the first turn to succeed. Actually, it would have worked for me the first time when someone would have thought me that I had to insert a single package. I didn't know about that. I ended up with a zero-wide Life City and that's not exactly what I expected. You need all the stuff in Forge and you need a single package that opens the factory to just get it and install it. The important thing in the single package is the script that creates the compressed file system. Just a single script is required to create a compressed file system. Now that you have all the data and after reading it with me you know that there is a default conflict file. It's an indirect conflict and there are certain things you have to set up. Most important are the grid area. The grid area is just the platform it is where you want to keep all the temporary data and the value of Life City that we created. Probably four or five gigabytes should be enough. But more does it work. RPM path is a common separated list of directories with RPMs. I didn't get that to work but Thorsten told me it should. What did work is I used them in RPM path to give you the repository so you don't have the individual CD trees. It should work if you set up I think we have five CDs then you would have to put five elements in the path. It's expected to work but I think it does not. But it works in a way and it works guaranteed with a DVD as well. The next step is to define the size of your CD. What kind of packages do you want to have on it? That's my specific selection. You would basically start with a normal KDE or something like that. If you don't want graphics you can start with a minimum selection and then you want to add some package you want to have on it. It's a really large item on OpenOffice and you would need to remove it. That's the important point with my selection. The argument is a file I'm going to describe which I'll talk a bit in the next slide. Another thing that's not on the slide you would want to put in this conflict file is a set of languages you want to have on it. What the factors have is just the last translation packages or other things. Translation packages are a rather large part of the solution.  Now, how does the MySale argument it's a package list and it's a plain text file then each of them turns you start with an equal sign and after the equal sign you specify a basic selection. The selection is something like a KDE or default it's a .self file set in our installation source and then you can add or remove individual packages and then you run make list of RPMs that's a start, that's a script that takes all of the things that are specified and resolves package dependencies on it because just adding an idea a normal package requires a lot of libraries and you don't want to specify them individually and also and it will add back package even if you remove a certain package you may end up getting it back in because it's required so at the end of this point it will even tell you an estimate of the size of it that gives you a sensible number and there are not too many errors such as make list of RPMs then you start with the first step and now you can start to set up the installer and you would make target this based on that it may look strange it's actual ISO directories that are created inside the trees that are set up and it's just go over and make it work so the status you are making has been maintained and it will install the packages it's just a thicker RPM minus root call and if you are very lucky it will succeed to solve an error and it will continue with client patches and installing additional data because it doesn't just work to take it in normal system and put it on CD there are certain fixes you want to have because things are different actually there is for instance ASSIS script aren't aware that your media is already mounted by the CD setup or the trans and there are places where things like files are still mounted and such things are a bit different on the live3 you don't want to unmount your live3 for instance in the process of running the ASSIS script because then you just end up nowhere and therefore there is a small amount of patches that fixes up sharp strips and there are a small set of data that are not in RPMs I think at the moment it's an open office user setup because otherwise when you start your live3 and the user just opens open office the first time it seems oh it's really new and it starts up with popups and asks you to confirm if it may want to copy these things and do it directly and it sets up all the stuff and for that not to happen you can add a great configured user so the user starts and it just doesn't have to worry to set up all the things that are already done the first time because it's always the first time and you don't want it every time but another example would be a game searching for plugins and stuff that just takes time but doesn't give you any value so you would do it once and just copy the config so the trick is it didn't work the first time for me and just simply because it saw all the packages returned and now it called for me because there was one package I don't remember and it was really happy out of the thousand packages and RPM came up with X1 and the scripts are written in a way that says stop at this point and the easy way is if you can't get the RPM it's out now it's just a small region you don't care about and you just want to continue just go into this it's a normal make file it's very easy you just look at the script and make it continue so it didn't really perfectly install but the first part of the patches were not applied after so I got it continuing after this so I just walked out and continued to apply patches and the data and it wasn't much better but the visible effect was for instance the default user there was no Linux user and I ended up with a root login and saw a password and it just didn't work and it's not another part of the patches and things you want to have added yeah oh yeah yes on a previous slide you said you had to start from the SUSE repository can you add other repositories if you want to add software from user local bin or pacman that's fine yeah or did I misunderstand you yeah it doesn't matter you just need a set of rpms and that's why in my view that's why there's an FDM path except the set of the repository so it's just the idea you have a basic stuff just before and you want your KDE or your packages added and you just add it to the rpms to the rpms path file and specify it in my selections as packages to add it and it just works provided rpms likes it as it is better and it doesn't conflict with any packages it's really annoying I know it from my time it's really a type consuming part to find a set of packages that really works now at this point your later root file system with all the stuff is ready and sitting in a directory and waiting to read this letter now we need to build a setup tool which is running as in it in the first installation phase and before the release and this is a tool that has to load all the structure modules and it's going looking for the CD and mounts the compress file and that's the reason why you have to make CD setup after make in a setup after building the tree and you could if everything works you could just on make but I'm going through the individual main steps in the night because I was certainly just running an installation so you build this and it needs kernel module info that extracts the kernel module info so it knows which module is to load and it takes the PCI driver but that's a reason why otherwise you could make it at first because really fast this 100% works and it just works so now is the time to take all the tree you have installed before and put it into a compress file system after you work on make all the leads on it will build a small utility that's around 150 it has basically kernel modules and a setup tool then it will go and take your large tree you install and convert it into an ISO image you could in theory you could take many other files you could make it in X2 also but the advantage is that files are in and out just after now you don't have too much head movement otherwise it doesn't really matter now that one is compressed with a sealed image and that's why we need the sealed package and it's supposed to where my first attempt would have been failed so and yeah, that's about it now all the files that creates a sealed image in theory it's just taking put it to directory and normal ISO is created and at this stage you're ready to try it okay now that you have it you probably want to test it and if you're doing that regularly or you have a special requirement that for you to review it and test it more often you'll see that learning in CD is a time-consuming process and maybe there's some idea there so just just if you have your own RBM to edit and one thing you should be aware if you're going for a DVD it probably doesn't matter but if you want it in a CD you'll see that it's an estimation you get at the first step it's not really accurate obviously, but it's fairly close and just as I mentioned there are several points where you would like the scripts to continue even the smallest for instance the patches might not be the patches I talked about might just not get in because the RP-11s are originally asking if I changed or something and you don't might at the first you can just fix it up later but you just want to have it running so look at the scripts easy dash scripts and comment about the answers and there's if you don't want to burn a CD you can use this partition for testing the cockpit file I mentioned in the first slide has a commented out section where you could specify the hardest partition and the CD setup tool is not looking for a CD but for partitioning and provided everything works you talk on a fast machine it takes about half an hour to go all the scripts and have it build to a final image oh, future before we go to the future there are some things that should be there there's some patches even if the patches don't work there's some more things that must work for instance there's a lxorg setup and you really want an autosetter for your server and therefore one of the patches changes the running all of the RC script to put the sacks our setup tool to change it more to the top and to start an auto config that's one of the points that didn't work for me the first time and the visible effect is that you end up in level 5 and the external I think 5 times try it for restarting and then it is on so this is probably one thing you want to fix or at least to watch out for and of course you should another thing that easily might happen is that the user is not created so if you don't have the user you can delay this or if the unlevel is not correctly set but if that's the way and you get KGM or DDM or main prompt you've probably done 99% right so what could be improved first oh there's just one catch I ran into that's normally documented to create a compressed file system or program and I've said 12 stories in the catch word and the visible effect is that it creates a long image so your CELO image it creates I mentioned here it's not accepted by the CELO modulator it's out of the open and it happens if your block size is divided with a type of 2K because the last block is zero bytes in size and you forget to add it and CELO modulator notices in the top and the end of the clip I won't accept it and you will run into it I think in the default is 16 K block size with a chance of out of 8 so it probably won't but if it does happen you know what it's a trivial fix that probably will end up on the software chip modulator so what's the future what could be new for instance we could down CELO stuff and CELO image stuff and just we had some experiences progress in the past but it didn't go very well it's not enough so I'm not sure another thing is all this copying around this is out of the years and it doesn't really look good union fs is an approach for it but in theory it would work better I don't know exactly what I think and it would just give you the opportunity to have a read only file system in the background and just write your changes on top of it so that's exactly what you want for a live CD so this is surely one thing to consider for the future and another thing is audio changes are lost and it would be if you are working you probably want to take this data could do it on USB storage or artist for instance it's currently not done it has the advantage that your artist is not touched at all which is a only good thing but 14 years ago we had this at some point in the past our live CDs had the ability to store things on the disc partitions there were problems on machines where you couldn't feed out the grade layout and it would start to write in one partition and you would end up with an inconsistent grade system so it hasn't always but to store on USB should probably save it so there's some you could in theory run it on network obviously we have the read only tree on the network so and just put a small key into an access system there's no way to choose maybe you want to track a file access or I had used it in the past to speed up development which is which doesn't really work but because it's very fast you just go and edit the config in your tree and put the CD and it just turns around to measure results the trick is that you must make sure that your network setup steps don't have to network connection and stuff because at this point you will lose connection otherwise that's it our questions I have a question about hardware compatibility of course I experienced I can find the RFM packages in the Broadcom in the case of I can find compatible RFM packages all over the world do you have any mail contacts to confirm the available device I didn't know which packages Suze 9.1 of course sometimes sometimes the specific newer onboard chips the network onboard chips for example 1GB it is not compatible with Suze 9.1 in the case of I couldn't find I cannot find any compatible any RFM packages of the device for specific devices do you have any contact point to confirm you are speaking about yes if possible my question is very simple do you have any contact point to confirm the device do you have anything to do general question general question you want to know that we look for a person that knows more about support just open the app if you are missing some feature say your hardware is not supported just go to the model site open it and then we have several developers working on various topics it will get redirected to the person that probably knows about just the market is impossible do you plan to include a small feature just to allow to install your Suze system from the live CD test the live CD like it and then you say ok install should be that possible with respect to you want an install feature say the user wants the live CD and wants to install it to be able to install your system from the live CD the market system that is presently on from the live CD the live CD in fact you want to install you can have it it is a public I just can't speak for person it is probably not too difficult would have to fix your fstab entry I am thinking that yes what you would just call installing to the live CD so do you want the model to install the live CD so you are basically asking for a live CD maybe just for the capacity to install your system from the live CD so it is an easy way for people who likes the system of the live CD some distribution has it right because I am asking the right way to install this way I am not sure do you want to install the live CD to install the live CD some distributions they are losing lives I like the way people didn't give their computer starts to complain with it and later they have a sort of automation or anything about it I like that and then the problem of what it does is installing the live CD in the heart so you want the digital packages in another way installed there is an alternative no maybe I am just asking which would be the right way to do that so we have a promotion DVD for Tension go to and it had a live CD on it and an equivalent type of packages to install to the system it could be amazing the logic is just being over on the system and we have such a feature but it is not as specific to live CD as it is it is just the same good loader selection feature whereby it is installed it would be brilliant I didn't see you mention but a whole bunch of live CDs have an option at good time that you can select certain parameters like switch off power management USB yeah it would be a good feature yeah yeah I am not aware of that I don't think that I haven't looked at the top wall of the CD setup I don't think that I don't think that any more questions for others thank you


Hello everybody, my name is Mark Pearson. So I'm going to be doing presentation for Dawn Lenovo, basically an update on where we came from. Last year, for those who don't know me, I'm the technical lead for the Lenovo Linux PC team. And if you don't make it all the way through the presentation, my contact details are at the end. So just skip there. And if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. So last year I started off with a thank you. This year, this is going to work. Yes, I'm still over the apologies. So I am on vacation next week. So during Nest, and unfortunately, and I'm really disappointed about this, I won't be able to attend Nest. We're off to a friend's cottage by Lake Ontario. That's what I'll be enjoying. And it has no internet. And so yeah, I can't say it's genuinely, genuinely disappointed not to make it. I really, really enjoyed Fedora Nest last year. So my apologies. I got some questions before that I've used for preparing this talk. I would much, much rather have done this as a conversation dialogue, get your feedback. I'll see if that's gonna work. So anything that I don't cover, if you're interested about, feel free to email me. Happy to have conversations on the Devel mailing group. Happy to set up another meeting if that makes sense, whatever. So yeah, but hopefully this talk will have some interesting pieces for you. I'll try and kind of pretend I'm having it as a conversation with me doing all the talking. Moving on. So keep clicking on the one window. I wanted to say, do you wanna say thank you to the Fedora community? It's, this year's certainly been a really interesting year. And I really, really appreciate working with the Fedora community, your fantastic community. I wanted to add in congratulations. I think Fedora's had an absolutely stonking year. Fedora 34 is brilliant, love it. You've won awards. I just actually a quick shout out to the people who write the magazine and do the Fedora podcast. I enjoy both, we both listen. So yeah, thank you for all that you do. And keep going. All righty, review of last year. So as everybody knows, last year's been kind of interesting. X1 Carbon 9 was released with Fedora on and is online and available in North America. We'll have more pieces on that later. There were just, the thing that was interesting from my point of view, X1 Carbon 9, we almost had it released at the same time as Windows. We actually made a really big effort to get it out. And I wanted to say thank you to the Fedora community for doing that special release for us. We unfortunately, we had some last minute panel issues on the high res panel that were due to the PSR2 feature. And it took us a while to get that fixed and then get that upstream. And then so we actually ended up the Carbon 9 sadly was released, I think it was about a month and a half after Windows. But it was one of those, it was so close to being a beautiful release. But anyway, it's out. So that was a success. And I keep clicking on the wrong window and it's very irritating. Try the keyboard. P1 Gen 3 was released as well, a Fedora exclusive. So I'm gonna cover some of the issues we had but that one was one where Fedora flew. And funnily enough, we had energy issues with the bunch of, yeah, had an exclusive one for the P1 Gen 3. Wasn't necessarily intended, but that's okay. The P15 was not released, I can't type. Basically there were issues with the Nouveau driver and it took us a long time to resolve. So I'd, you know, a big thank you to particularly Ben's gigs who worked on solving it for us. And it does work now. You can run Fedora 34 on their P15 with the Nouveau card and it works well. Unfortunately, by the time we got them solved it was just too late in the product cycle to actually go ahead and do a web release. We have P15 Gen 2 coming up which interestingly has Nouveau issues but we'll come to that later. But yeah, if you're wondering why the P15 didn't show up that was why. So the next question. So I had some feedback, questions on the forum and a lot of them were around the web sales. So I wanted to kind of dive into that and try and explain a little bit what's been happening. So it makes sense. Just I've seen various reports, you know, on CartyTube sort of and complaints. So I'll try and give some clarity. So question from Matthew was why is the lag time so high and order now and get it for Christmas? So that one's kind of easy. It's not Linux related. It really isn't. Component shortages. It's been brutal. And there were, particularly early on there were a few cases that I specifically went and dived into to try and understand why it was so long because I was concerned it was our Linux program that was the reason, but it wasn't.  And if you're buying one, I totally, totally understand why it's frustrating. And it's been a variety of components, CPUs, SSDs, anything. And we're actually getting hit really hard with this year's platforms on the WLAN, the Wi-Fi components. So it's, yeah, across the board, essentially that it is not meant to be a Linux, it's not really related to Linux. There is a caveat to that, which is the second one. So a question again from Matthew, pricing compared to pre-configured Windows systems. So one of the common complaints I get is if you go on the website, you'll see there's ready to ship, which we call RTS. And basically they're pre-configured systems. You don't get to modify them. You get what you get. But they're ready available and they can ship and they're often cheaper than the conflict order. And the thing is that Linux falls under the conflict order. We do not have any ready to ship models available yet. So a lot of the frustration is people look at it and say, well, Linux is more expensive. And if you compare Linux with Windows, conflict order, then it's, no, Linux is cheaper. But then you also start hitting the shipping times because it is conflict order and this is that. One thing to explain, and I'm hoping I don't get into trouble for this, but the ready to ship, basically the way it works is that they pre-order a whole bunch of systems with what they expect to be the most popular configuration. And those are sitting in boxes, in a warehouse somewhere, and the different geos pre-order those and they're ready. So there's a few reasons we don't have that for Linux. One is that we generally don't have our Linux image ready at the same time as Windows. We tend to be a month to a month and a half behind. And the interesting thing is actually, if you look at it, we need to be even earlier than that to give them a chance to be able to pre-order these things. So that's one reason. One is that they just don't have the sales data to know what will be the popular systems. So from the web sales team's point of view, that is basically it's a risk pool and they have to know which systems are gonna be popular and be confident enough they're gonna sell them to pre-order a whole bunch. And then we come back to the fact of the proponent shortages, so we'd be asking web sales teams to take a gamble on something that they don't know is gonna sell in the configurations and on top of that, they just aren't enough platformally available. So that's why right now there is no ready to ship. I have had conversations, it is not something, sorry, I don't get my phrasing right here, but it's something that might happen in the future. They're definitely not against doing it. It's gonna be a little bit of persuasion and then taking a bit of a leap of faith to do it the first time, but it's certainly as long as they're seeing Linux sales and they believe that they can do it, it's not something that will never, it will happen if they think they can sell them. So just as a note for anybody who has been out and bought a Linux system conflict order, I mean, thank you, that's golden. You actually are also really important data points for what is likely to be a popular Linux system. So there you go, you get a drive, how this will be considered in the future. The next one is interesting. So Kester Mackey, what about the world? So yes, this has been a big challenge for me. I'm pretty sure I was on here last year saying, yes, we're gonna have web sales worldwide and that is still true. It's just a bad year. So one of the good things is what we had last year is a whole bunch of configuration. So it was honestly, it was all Lenovo nonsense. When Linux was first introduced, it was special bid and they did not want it accidentally sold because it's cheaper. They didn't want it accidentally sold. So they were all these rules put in place to prevent it being sold in North, and we had to basically wind those back, find them all, clear them and that stuff. So that has all been done. There's a lot of stupid paperwork, driven me nuts, my hair is definitely a lot rare than it was last year, but that's fixed and good. So the good news is, is we have our first platform up in Europe. Yes, we do. We actually have the S1 Carbon 9 up in Europe, but it's the surface road that they goofed. And this is a little bit, working with WebCell teams for the first time. I went through this from North America. So they have Ubuntu up. They do not have Fedora up. You can go and see. It will be fixed. It is not deliberate. It's totally an accident. I think they just, WebCell teams didn't understand. So just to explain, I have been nagging the WebCell teams relentlessly basically every week. I'm like, hey, what you doing? So they did get it up and you got it up in time for Nest, but they put the wrong platform up. So we'll get that fixed. And so I'm pretty confident. We'll get the S1 Carbon 9 up with Fedora in Europe. And then hopefully from there, I will be able to grow the portfolio. So obviously Europe is not the world. So just to, so I've got things. The other thing that's interesting is I have had lots of good conversations with the other GOs. The component shortages is really making it hard this year. And for instance, Latin America, absolutely they want to sell Linux, but they just said they can't take it on this year. They were pretty stressed out actually. And they're saying they're just really struggling with this constant churn of what's available, what isn't. So basically they said, come back to us when things have calmed down a bit and we'll see what we can do. But right now we can't do it. So I appreciate their honesty. And obviously I'll keep following up as we get platforms and just monitor it and see at some point we will do it. And I know India were enthusiastic as well. They had to go check some local rules and things to check. So I'm optimistic that one's gonna happen. I can't give you a date when, but they were definitely enthusiastic about it. I have had positive feedback from other web sales teams it's a little bit of case of turning the handle and getting it out and which, a lot of it is which platforms they were willing to do and those such things. So I don't, that was a very long way of saying, yeah, we haven't delivered yet. And I fully recognize that and then we are working on it. We'll get there. There is progress. Okay, so the next bunch of questions that I got from the form were all really awkward to answer because most of them are forward looking, but there was a number of them around AMD. So I'm gonna cover those separately. So Matthew Miroslav, what about AMD? So we do have some AMD platforms. So I'm assuming the question is more about Fedor and AMD, but I'm just gonna give a bit of an update on the AMD platform. So we actually had quite some trouble with the AMD platforms for the last years related around battery drain and power usage issues. The worst parts of those are resolved. There are still not perfect, still places to go and some people who are watching this might know about some of our friends on the Lenovo forum. So there are still issues there. The AMD team, I just want just, they've got a client Linux engineering team and they're doing some amazing work. So there is some great stuff coming out of AMD right now, but I can't comment on that one. So we did actually, I'm not sure I should mention this either, but we did look at doing Fedora on one of the AMD platforms last year because I know that was a lot of feedback. Honestly, it was gated by the fact that we had these energy certification issues. So it just didn't happen. And this is part of the Linux projects growth and experience. Question from Neil. Let you guys read it. Basically love to see an AMD Ryzen variant of the yoga. Yeah, that would be nice. And question from Michelle about an AMD version of the T series or the P1 X1 console. I unfortunately cannot tell you about future platforms, but I completely agree. Those would be fantastic platforms and hopefully we will see them in the future. Yeah, I can't say, but question from Matthew. What about arms? Actually, this one I kind of can say because we do have a few armed platforms in Lenovo. There is no Linux plan on ARM yet. I went and asked, looked into it. They're not seeing the demand. Lenovo really quite customer base. So if ARM is important, ask for it. And you know what, it's a good time to cover this. So I had an interesting conversation with what is the best way of giving feedback that this is what you want. So online forums interestingly are a good thing to do. They get monitored and if topics come up repeatedly to do that, so online forums good. If you buy a system with Windows and you wish that you would have bought it with Linux if it was available, apparently after 90 days you get a survey, an owner's survey. That is a really good way of giving direct feedback that will get munged in. And so yeah, if you buy a system and it wasn't what you really wanted, then you went and it's sort of proper operating system on its way. I was not, I didn't say that. Then let them know through the survey. Another question from Matthew, more options, lower end systems, higher end ones with more RAM. So I cannot comment on the lower end systems but I'm sure that will happen. And higher end ones, I was a bit surprised by that one because one of the things we do actually have Linux on all our high end platforms. So I was a bit unsure of that one, like all the workstation. If you want a beast, they're there. I think Matthew's got the P620, which is one that I have not been able to get my hands on personally, but it's nice and that's what all the well. So I'm not sure about the ones with more RAM. I guess maybe that might be a question of, I know the X1 carbon, they wanted the eight with maxed out at 16 gig. And so I know on the carbon nine, you can buy a 32 gig option, which is quite nice. Question from Neil, yoga gen six, shipping with Fedora. Yep, that would be great. So I mean, yes, these things would be good. I will make the comment that the gen six, the yoga has the Linux enablement on it. The, my key aim is, is to make any Linux distro work on all of our platforms. So yes, I would love to expand the Fedora program. I think Fedora is fantastic, but you can buy it knowing that, I mean, if you want to run on it, then everything is upstream. And actually, so my wife is running on the gen five, but I mean, the gen six, Fedora runs well on it. There are no issues that I know of that. And Michelle asked about the new X1 Nano. So I've been using Fedora 34 on the Nano as my set on the couch in the evening, watch Netflix, that kind of stuff is great. It was really nice. It was one of those, we had a really painful enablement experience with the Nano. It was our first Tiger Lake. And there were a few other things that caused us headaches. So I didn't like it because I kept so many headaches. And it sat on my shelf a little bit ignored. And then I needed, you know, I can't remember what it was. Something I looked at and I was like, oh, this is quite nice. So that's actually my current, not I don't work on it. The screen's a bit small, but I actually, it's a nice system. So I assume Michelle ultimately you're sitting there going to be doing a Fedora release on it. So that's, we don't have Fedora on it as yet, but I can personally vouch that it's running nicely. It's kind of a nice machine. Alrighty, so this one was not on the forum. This is all on me, but I wanted to do a quick update on W1 because it's been an interesting one. And I have some questions. So even though I can't have a conversation, I have a question. I'm not quite sure how that works anyway. So W1 is finally coming on some platforms. So W1 has been a really slow burner. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it last year, if not it's something that has taken far, far, far too long to get there, but it's coming. It really is, it's like so close. But anyway, so Fibrocombe of upstream, I believe it's actually accepted now. Support for the L860, it was supposed to be upstream August last year. So it got there. That's, this is where some of the challenges are for doing new hardware and then expert. So if you have the L860, then there is a PCIe driver for it. And I believe it's in 513. Maybe there were some suspenders you misused. So I'm not 100% sure, but I know it is close. I want to give a special shout out to Quectel. So they're doing the 4G modem on this year's platforms. They did a really quality job getting WAN support delivered. So not only for their modem, but they actually did a new WAN subsystem. And they got that upstream and, you know, just were great to work with. So just want to recognize them. You know, if anybody from Quectel's listening to this, it's like, yeah, thank you. Lenovo have been slow on actually delivering the solution and I'll get to that in a bit. But I just, you know, they did a great job. And I also want to give, you know, I mentioned Foxconn for our 5G modem. They got to follow on a lot on the work that Quectel had did. But again, they really got it upstream, it's delivered, it's in 513. And the 5G modem is working. And that's pretty cool, I think it's cool. There are some caveats, there's always caveats. So there's an FCC unlock utility, which I've had some discussion with the modem maintainer about. Basically the way is to me, FCC certification rules, the homologation on these platforms to make sure that they're safe to use and they are within the spec. And so there's this lock that is on the modem, so it doesn't work without it being unlocked. And that's software based. And it's closed source software based, which makes it really awkward. So this is where we're still learning. So we did a snap. And it's not actually released, but it's going to be released in the next couple of weeks, I think, for both the Quectel and the Foxconn on the platforms where we're supporting it. So we did a snap and we thought this was cool because snap will work everywhere. And then I got some quite strong feedback that this was not the right thing to do. So, and I'm sure there's people watching this discussion, I'll mark you, Idiot, and yeah. So some of that's on me, some of it's on the W1 team, but yeah, so I would like some guidance on the best way to make this available for Adora. So obviously we can't preload this closed source binary utility in our Fedora preload image because we don't modify the preload. And so I would love some guidance on what to do I think flat pack might be the way forward, but I'm genuinely open. On our side, we want something that isn't a huge maintenance effort. I'm very aware how slowly they deliver this already. And I don't want to make it even slower. So I'm looking for something that's relatively easy. The other default option, which I have in mind is just to have the utility on the Lenovo Sport page with instructions on how to install it. I think we might do that anyway, just so that any distro can do it. But if there's any feedback, let me know. I'll probably raise this on the develop this after next week, but yeah. So that's one. The other thing I'm gonna flag because I think it's gonna cause some pain points is we have five these platforms and it's expensive and it takes time.  So I know the carbon and the yoga are in scope. The others are very much a little bit based on demand. So, and I know that's gonna upset people. So I mean, I'm hoping we move to a stage where it's just not an issue. It's just like, yeah, this is part of Linux enablement and we do it for all of them. But for right now, they're focusing on just getting it done for couple and then gonna gauge and see how it goes afterwards. So yeah, happy to take feedback on that. But I just wanted to make sure, you know, it was understood. I ready. Think LMI. So this was triggered by an update by a question on the forum. But so think LMI is our utility so that you can go and change biosense. And it was accepted upstream. I think it's gonna be available in 5.14. So I actually did the upstream commit for that one. And I just, I wanted to stop in to say big thank you to the Kernel community, particularly hands of the XA platform maintainer, but a whole bunch of other people as well who helped me and reviewed it. For me, I've been working with Linux for a long time. I've started contributing more upstream and just it works. This is why Linux is awesome because what went upstream is some of the best code I've written. And I don't really think I can take credit for that. That's because of the help and guidance and people looking at it going, no, this should be better and it's really cool. So that's why Linux is awesome and it just, yeah. From my point of view, it was a really useful learning experience, but I also really liked the fact that I knew what went upstream was better than if we just done it as a close-source module. That to me was like, yeah, and I knew it, but going through the experience was interesting. There you go, random mark witherings. We have more changes coming there. We have some enhancements that we're gonna do, mostly around the ThinkSender platforms. They have some different mechanisms that come in. And anyway, the key parts are there and it should work, would love any feedback. So there was a really interesting question from Tomas, apologies if I got pronunciation wrong. Is Lenovo planning to integrate this into GNOME control centers? Honestly, I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned that. And I was like, that's a great idea. So planning, no, but I would love to do it. I have no experience doing GNOME sort of like, then myself, I know that for the platform profile stuff that went out recently, which was based on some kernel work that I did as well. But they did that. So I think it'd be a good thing to do with the new firmware attributes class. I don't think it's Lenovo specific. I think we can do something that works for all vendors, which is even better and anybody, any KDE fans out there as well, other desktops. Yeah, let me know. I would love to work and help on that or get someone on my team to help me with that. I have some points later about why that would be a good thing. But yes, short answers, wasn't planned, but it should be. So thank you for raising it. And there we go. Okay, so other questions. So I have a couple of these. These were just basically picking up some of the other questions that came up on the forum. Make sure I got all of them. So question from Michelle, basically about how we work with NVIDIA. So yeah, NVIDIA are interesting. We obviously, we had that problem on the P15, which just because of the Nouveau driver meant we can release platform. It essentially we had issues with suspending the zoom and external monitors. And so it didn't pass our QA. And we can't ship a platform if you're going to take it home and plug it in, it doesn't work. It's kind of interesting because obviously if you took the close source binary, it works beautifully. But we want the experience when you unpack it and open it and plug it in. You don't want, first thing either hit is a kernel crash. So I will say that I have to be a little bit careful. So I think NVIDIA are really stepping up their Linux support. I think we're helping be a large part of that. I hope so. I don't have the most open communications to NVIDIA. I don't actually have access to their engineers directly like I do to some of the other vendors. But I think that's improving. I was really excited to see the Wayland support is being added because I think that's important. I would love of person who see them support Nouveau even if it's not for all the features just so that you know you can use the Nouveau driver and have it work, be able to connect your monitor, suspend the zoom, all that stuff. So yes, we are working with them. We put in those squares. We work with the Red Hat engineers closely as well. And again, shout out to the Red Hat graphics team. Carlos and Ben and Laud and all those people who help us on the graphics side. Genuinely appreciated because it's such a complicated stack. So yeah, we're engaged. There was a question from Thomas how to get developer discounted problem. I don't have an answer for that. I'm sorry. Actually, I was gonna say so. Yeah, my focus really is to get the web sales going and if there's no web port of that stuff. Yeah, so I don't know. I just don't know what I can do that. Find someone friendly. Question from Patrick, this one was interesting. So what makes for thermal support? And you know, with the 11th gen Intel, TPU, GPU and that sort of thing. So again, I don't have a good answer here but I think it's becoming increasingly important. I know this year I have seen quite a few thermal related issues around our firmware. Some of it actually interestingly being because the thermal team were just being a little bit conservative on their design. So we've had a few issues there. The other thing that I'm kind of aware that's happening is that the thermal de-adaptive support which is using DPTF, which is the same, essentially using that Intel technology that's for Windows. That's getting good. And I have had some interesting discussions with the Intel power engineers. And honestly, I've seen cases where the thermal de-adaptive is better than the Lenovo firmware, which is something we need to look at. And I don't know what's gonna happen. It's kind of hard to switch to something which doesn't have official support. But if it's better, it's kind of hard not to. So I don't have good answers for you, but yeah, I think it's important. I've seen a few threads about how you can tweak the power for CPU and GPU. I haven't looked into that myself. It's not been a focus item yet. So sorry, not a great answer. I don't have any golden bullet ones, but if you know of anything or something that we should be focusing on to make the experience better for Linux users, please let me know. Happy to run with that. Okay, more questions. So this one's also a question from Matthew. How well is this doing just Lenovo? Which is a success and it's funny. So when I first looked at this question, it's kind of so many different ways. So from my personal point of view, I get to see a lot of problems. It's a lot of problem solving. Sometimes it's a bit draining, but I actually think the program is successful. I think we're moving slower than I would like. There's definitely pieces of it that I'm frustrated with how long it's taking to solve this. And I'll cover some of those in a slide. But overall, I think the experience of Linux on Lenovo is getting better. And more importantly, within Lenovo, I'm starting to see people really think about Linux. And so from my point of view, that's a success as ultimately a Linux user. I like it the fact that there's a new feature going in the BIOS and there's a long email thread and someone in the middle says, hey, what are we doing about Linux? And then I get pulled in. And that's good. That's important. And even if we've still got a lot of work to do on the delivery front, I think these are big steps in the right direction. So from that point of view, it's good. From a sales point of view, like our sales numbers are up a lot compared to previously, but then again, it's a little bit of a case of you're going from zero to, so realistically, we're still tiny sales numbers and it's not helped by all the issues that we've covered above with the web sales and that side of things. I am seeing more interest from corporate sales basically because we have the Linux support and that's good, that drives that honestly, I mean, for regular users, we get a benefit off a lot of that. So yeah, I don't have any issues with that. That's cool. And then at the executive level, it's always interesting sometimes Linux is a little bit of a pain point, like our schedules are a nightmare and when they change a hardware component the last minute because there's shortages and they change it for something that they have a driver upstream and the impacts for that. And then somebody says, well, why is your schedule three months later? It's like, well, just Linux doesn't change like that, right? So it's sometimes it's a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately, I think we're well-viewed, we're growing, which is good. Portfolio is growing, the team is growing. So I'm gonna claim it's a success with there's a long way to go still. There's a lot to do and I keep giving vague answers. Another really good one from Matthew, what can we do to make it even better from the Fedora side? So genuinely, I really enjoy working in the Fedora community and you guys have been so supportive and I appreciate that, thank you. I think a lot of the steps to make it better are probably more on the Lenovo side. One thing I really would like to figure out is how to get my team, including myself, contributing more. We haven't done a lot this year but it's certainly something our mind is, we have the fixes that go upstream, which is the right thing to do. They will eventually flow down but I wanna see how we can accelerate how those little fixes get into the distros and obviously Fedora will be one of the main targets for that so that users can get going on their platform quicker rather than having to wait. But I don't wanna break the process either. So I think I'll definitely be looking to do more active collaboration and I think that's gonna happen anyway because there's growth coming to the Fedora project. So yeah, probably shouldn't say that. I don't know, anyway. So I put together a slide, this one was kind of funny because I could have gone for heaps of different items. There is so many things still to do but I tried to pick out and honestly this could change daily what some of the key items are that are on top of my mind is these are things that we have to do. It's still see too many firmware issues. Honestly, we've had some painful update problems and our LVFS delivery is still lacking and just the whole update cycle issues. There's lots of scope improvement. There's definitely some good exercises happening here. It's definitely one where I know there is progress being made, which is good. But it's a high priority one. Sorry, I'm kind of jumping here. But I think firmware, one of the things that I've learned since joining this team is, I mean, Linux works well on the old platforms but without the firmware team support in this platform. The Linux experience is always gonna be a little bit clunky. And so I've become more aware how important it is to have the firmware team support this. Ultimately, from an open source point of view, that's kind of a shame but I'm working with what I've got. Enablement time is another key one. So yeah, we lag, this year has been terrible for that, like the X1 Carbon was really disappointing. We have our T14, T15 Gen2 that Windows is out. We've got network driver issues on the Intel side that we're working with Intel on but we're just, our schedule's just slipping like crazy.  What's going on with that? It's like, yeah, I know. And just various pieces around that are AMD platforms just, you know, for Gen2, they have been impacted by the WLAN component getting changed at the last minute. So we're waiting for real tech to get some driver code upstream, which is mid-August. So it's that kind of issue. So a lot of this goes back to, in our process earlier, making sure we get earlier access to systems and that hardware teams recognize, they can't just change stuff because Linux can't just change, you know, adding a new driver in a week, it just doesn't work like that. And a lot of that is working with the vendors as well to get support out earlier. And again, there's some great things happening on there. So I think it's gonna get better anyway, but it's still a challenge. Worldwide sales, we've discussed, this is a high priority for me next year. It keeps chipping away at it. I'm genuinely, I'm sorry, I know there's lots of people who wanna buy these systems and I wanna sell them. It drives me nuts that we have this and we can't sell them, it's just ludicrous. But still it's a priority item. And then yeah, I touched on this. I really want my team to contribute more. So I know I personally love contributing to the kernel, joining in the forums, those side things and I want my team to contribute more. So if you see any Lenovo folk, I'm hoping they may come and join in next. Most of my team is in China. So the times are kind of a bit sort of like not great, but yeah, please be welcoming them. I think a lot of them are shy language issues and that's that, but they're a good bunch and I'm encouraging them to contribute and to, you know, so that we own our products, right?  But yeah, I want to support my team as they build up that experience and then find a way to do it. The, this is kind of a slightly less one. We have a few unsupported hardware components. We kind of make the gray list, things that on the platform don't necessarily have great Linux support. So NFC leader, smart card though, I must admit I've been talking to smart card maintainer and I think we'll get that one solved. IR cameras kind of like, HPD radar doesn't have Linux support right now. There's bits, so the list is getting smaller every year. So I think we're getting there, but I'd like to have it so that in my ideal world, we have, you know, Linux users get the same experiences with those. It's harder than I thought, but we're getting there. And actually just on that note, I mean, if there's pieces that people are just going, yeah, it really bugs me that I don't have XYZ under Linux, but they have it under Windows. This, and if you can keep it fairly specific, that helps. I know I've had a few requests that, can you do Vantage on Linux? And I looked into it and honestly, most of the stuff in Vantage you guys wouldn't want. It's just like, yeah, we don't need that. We have better ways of doing this. But there are pieces there that are gonna be important. So yeah, if there's specifics would be useful and then I can get people to work on it and focus it. I obviously have my own list, but just customer feedback is genuinely useful. I'm gonna mention Nipi, got Nipi cameras will be in the not too distant future and just scare the Jesus out of me. Yeah, so again, I could have had a much longer list, but I would actually, again, this recording having conversation without having it is kind of weird, but I would love to know what you guys think is missing, what's good, what's bad and how we can work on that. There you go. I'm not sure how long I've talked to you for hopefully not too long. Questions of feedback, I would love to have a conversation. There's my email address, markpiston.lenovo.com. I do actually have a non-Lenovo related question. So this email address is a bit of a nightmare for me. We use Outlook servers and they've introduced this safe links feature. And that means that any link in an email now gets replaced with this great big long thread that has markpiston.lenovo.com in it. And the problem with that is I am on a lot of different forums and things and I have filters set up so that anything with my name or the Lenovo in it actually shows up in the inbox and the rest gets filtered into folders and I scan them periodically and pick out pieces that I think are interesting. And yeah, it's completely killing my filters. They don't work anymore, my inbox is out. So I might actually switch to a non-Lenovo email address just for open source collaboration because I asked IT to disable it and they just laughed at me. So if anybody has recommendations on really good email providers for open source, I think I'm looking at ProDom now, but let me know and I'm not interested in money in my own mail server, not just not interested. So I looked at that and I was like, yeah, no. But yeah, I might actually switch to having a non-Lenovo account but I'm obviously still at Lenovo supporting this program 100%. I ready? Again, huge thank you to the dual community. I'm genuinely sorry I can't be there in person to answer questions. Family vacation was not gonna change my wife told me in no uncertain terms, this was not changeable but I hope you have a great conference and I'll look forward to talking to you very soon. Thanks.
