Hollywood couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen said they got an unexpected surprise during this quarantine. Turns out they'll be welcoming baby number 3. And apparently their modern Beverly Hills mansion won't be big enough for their growing families so they've put it up on the market. I'm sure that since a 24 million dollar mega home just doesn't cut it for the pair, the home they're hunting for will only be bigger. Until they find that, they can shock up in their Manhattan condo spread or their live workspace in West Hollywood because they certainly aren't short on real estate. John Rogers Stevens, better known by his stage name John Legend, is a singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, philanthropist and more who even prior to his debut album had already been signed to Kanye's label and collaborated with established artists. He's amassed plenty of awards over his career already, receiving an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for co-writing a song in the film Selma, not to mention he's won 11 Grammys and is one of only 16 people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. In John's private life he's also a husband and father married to Chrissy Teigen who seems to be in the public eye even more than he is. Although she was known for being a model and she seems to spend a ton of her time trolling on social media, when she's not doing that she loves to cook. When the couple bought a contemporary $5 million home in West Hollywood not too long ago, many wondered why since it was close to their main home. But turns out they have plans to use this home as a set for Chrissy's upcoming cooking show. Apparently John and Chrissy each have an estimated net worth of around 75 million so I don't think they need to worry about how many properties they buy. Hey guys it's Kara and today we're doing another house tour here on Femus Entertainment. We're going to take a look at where John Legend and his wife Chrissy call home and although we looked at Chrissy's properties earlier this year, it was in need of an update. They've put their main modern mansion up for sale in hopes of finding something bigger. And from the listing we can see how they transformed the place. If you like these videos make sure you're subscribed and ring that bell to be notified when we post so you can always be up to date. We've also done house tours on famous couples like JLo and A-Rod as well as Russell Wilson and Sierra and we'll link to some at the end. Follow me on Instagram to chat and as usual let me know who's house tours next in those comments down below. Now let's get into this video. Recently TMZ and other news sources reported that John and Chrissy are letting go of their main home. A modern boxy mansion high in the hills. Since last reporting on their living situation it seems the couple also did a mega revamp of the property and it looks a lot warmer since they moved in nearly 5 years ago. The last time I saw photos of this place it looked like your usual slightly cold contemporary mega mansion and now it actually looks like a home. Mind you a very lux one. While John and Chrissy look for an even larger family home in Los Angeles for the arrival of their third child, this mansion sits on the market for you know only 23.95 million dollars. This A-List mansion in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood was also once owned by Rihanna and the power couple was surrounded by celebs like Jessica Alba, Jack Nicholson and more. The modern home spans 8,520 square feet in size with 7 beds and 8 baths and is completely walled and gated for privacy. It sits high in the mountains above Beverly Hills which makes for some killer views and John and Chrissy paid 14.1 million for it at the time of purchase according to records. The listing talks about the makeover John and Chrissy gave their residents while living in it and also cheekily notes the designer chef's kitchen befits a culinary influencer and cookbook author aka Chrissy. Speaking of the chef's kitchen, this one has a massive Eden Island and world class array of custom appliances probably most of which were added for Chrissy's comfort. The open concept floor plan allows the kitchen to easily connect to the family room where you'll find a double sided fireplace separating the casual space from the more formal living room with double height ceilings and soaring windows. There's also a piano corner decked out with all of John's Grammys and awards where I'm sure he makes some beautiful music. Where there were once washed out white walls and basic finishes the home now has lavish customs like a patterned ceiling from Thailand, redone oak floors and steel rolled walls thanks to the couple's home makeover. And the listing claims that those walls exude sensuality. Interesting. A sculptural winding staircase leads to the upper level where there's the couple's warehouse size master suite with brass and concrete fireplace. Maybe even more impressive here is the his and hers showroom closets with Chrissy's being large enough to make any woman envious. Elsewhere in the mansion you'll find a large home gym, home movie, theater with soundproof walls, a lavish formal dining room, playroom and more. Out back there's a dark bottom plunge pool with plenty of space around to lounge in the sun and views over coal water canyon. Not to mention a covered dining terrace with built-in barbecue. I mean I think that place is big enough for a family with three children but for John and Chrissy they can have whatever they want. Even if that means a bigger and better mega mansion we'll just have to wait and see what they find. I showed you guys this next spot on my last Chrissy Teigen house tour but now it's confirmed they're planning to use the home for a living workspace. I guess if the couple doesn't find the bigger mansion in time for the new baby they can settle and camp out here. Okay I'm making this place sound like some average home but really it's another mega house close to the one we just looked at in West Hollywood. Earlier this year John and Chrissy bought a 5.1 million dollar contemporary home in the trendy neighborhood that is West Hollywood. Close to the sunset strip and the infamous Chateau Marmont. The home was just finished at the start of the year and built in an organic modern style. It spans 3,500 square feet inside with 2,000 square feet of outdoor space and four beds and four baths. It offers a combination of modern architecture and a natural feel and it's full of light, space and comfort. One of the features here is undoubtedly the kitchen which is full of important materials and high-end appliances. Not to mention a massive 20 foot island ideal for food prep and casual dining. Now that we know the home is going to be used for Mrs. Teigen's upcoming cooking show it all makes sense. How perfect is that kitchen for her? The airy home has a ton of wood and glass even offering a floating wooden staircase. The West Hollywood property also comes with a luxemaster suite with custom walking closet, private office and floating gardens upstairs with a built-in drip system. Outside, aside from the expansive decks and terraces all over, there's also a pool and spa. Finally, John and Chrissy continue to own a lavish condo spread in New York City. Before they were parents, they already owned one penthouse in the Big Apple which they showed Architectural Digest back in 2015. This apartment just kind of embodies everything that I love. Obviously, I love dark and rustic but still very clean and very chic and it just feels like our place in LA as well but in New York. But they sold that one and upgraded. At the start of the pandemic, we caught word that the couple bought their most recent New York property which happens to be right next door to the one they already own. In 2018, they purchased a place in the same building they used to have real estate. The Brewster Carriage House. They paid just over 9 million for a corner unit penthouse, spending 2600 square feet with three beds and three baths. It offers 13-foot ceilings, exposed brick and wooden accent walls. The open plan living and dining area contains a gas fireplace and oversized windows as well as a spacious kitchen. Some other features include a motorized 133-inch projection screen, backlit wine closet and even a private rooftop garden accessed by copper staircase. The bedrooms are divided into two wings at opposite ends of the apartment and the master suite offers a walk-through closet and five fixture bathrooms with rainwater showers, soaking tub and more. And John and Chrissy's add-on property, the next door unit acquired earlier this year is even bigger. This spot cost them just under 8 million and it spans 3,500 square feet with two beds, two full baths and two half baths. Features here include 12-foot ceilings, some more exposed brick walls, iron columns and automated window shades. There's a custom iron staircase connecting two floors of the penthouse as well as the 1,500 square foot rooftop deck. Another combination living and dining area graces this unit which stretches almost 50 feet and there's an open plan kitchen with giant walk-in pantry. Aside from the large guest suite, the couple can enjoy another lavish master bedroom with a small attached office and 600 square foot media lounge. Whichever unit the family spends more time in, it's great real estate investment to say the least. Since the units are next door, I'd also assume John and Chrissy could carry out a mega renovation and merge the two penthouses together. So now we've got our update on John, Legend and Chrissy Teigen's living situation and now all they have to do is sell their nearly 24 million dollar LA mansion and buy something even bigger. We saw how they've updated the contemporary estate since moving in five years back and it looks even better than before. We also looked at the West Hollywood home they're planning to use as a live-in workspace, a case set for Chrissy's upcoming cooking show and their luxury condo spread in Manhattan. After seeing John and Chrissy's properties, which is your faith? I'm more of a Los Angeles girl so I'd have to say there are two houses there and Chrissy's closet and the mansion they're selling would be enough for me to choose the spot. Like did you see that closet? Be sure to let me know down in the comments as well as which celebrity homes you want me to feature next. Follow me on Instagram so we can chat. Be sure to like and subscribe and I'll see you all in the next video. Bye.


So we're here with you blocks. So who are you? I'm Perle Svensson from the short-range team in Sweden and here we are demonstrating an IoT gateway functionality. We have a Bluetooth low-energy module inside the dice. Actually five of them. So this is BTLE. Is it ARM? This is not ARM, but in the gateway we're using ARM embed. So here is a multi-radio module running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the Cortex-M4 and we're running an embed-enabled IoT gateway application inside. What is this? This is the dev board for this embed. So what does U-Blocks do? We are a company based in Switzerland to do three things. Positioning devices like GPS. We do cellular data like 2G and 3G modules and also LTE. And the third leg is where I represent the short-range with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules. Alright, so this is the whole package. So what do you call those? Modules? Those are modules and those are chips. Alright, so let's see this demo. How does it work? When I move them the BTLE connection is established. I want to throw the dice. It will be connected to this IoT gateway and then send up to the cloud. And then it's going to be presented on the web browser. Nice. So how does that work? It knows which side it's on? It's like an accelerometer? Yes, it's an accelerometer on this BTLE module. And once the dice stops rotating the gateway application will calculate what is the number that is being displayed. And that value is sent up to the cloud server and then presented through the web into a browser. So you're Swiss company? Swiss company. So how big is U-Blocks? Who's using U-Blocks? We have a lot of customers in automotive. So for position and navigation and also fleet management we do a lot of business in that area. We also do industrial customer sales into medical and control system. As well as we do some into consumer. So we have our positioning devices and some of the wearables like watches and stuff. So what do you think about ARM embed? It's an interesting architecture for allowing our customers to embed their application into a microcontroller that is already in our module. And we don't use all the resources so we can open up that for our customers to use as well. Alright. An embedded ARM has made a good architecture for that with security with standardized APIs and so on. So we think this is a very good future for modules like that. And it's just starting right? Is it the beginning and not as ARM V8-M? A bunch of new stuff is going to happen right? Yeah I think that's going to happen a lot. And I see on this show there's a lot of companies here. There's a lot of attendees as well. So I think the interest for this combination is very good.


Long punch attacks, like this, instead of short punches, you mention meant for longer attacks, meant for putting your whole body weight into it, rather than using short range inch power.


Forbes. Russia will have to sacrifice airbases and ports. Ukraine has developed 15 types of long-range attack drones and threw them against the Russian oil industry. According to Forbes, during the year of such raids, Ukrainian intelligence reduced the capacity of Russian oil refineries by about 12%. According to the publication, Kiev expects that oil raids will undermine Moscow's finances, complicate military logistics, and sow discontent among ordinary Russians. However, experts warn that such strikes, although painful for the Russian Federation and effects on logistics, do not have a significant impact on the total annual production volume. Perhaps, more importantly for the Ukrainian forces, the drone attacks could force the Kremlin to pull precious air defense systems from the front line and redeploy them around oil infrastructure, the newspaper writes. Forbes notes that desperately trying to strengthen its air defense, Moscow recently postponed from 2024 to 2026 the export of two batteries of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems in New Delhi, and according to British intelligence, plans are already being developed to deploy the Pantsir air defense system around energy facilities. By strengthening the protection of oil refineries, the Russians can agree to less protection around airbases, ports, headquarters, and other military facilities, which will make them an easier target. Forbes writes, Russia disperses and thins its best air defenses, and the consequences of this are demonstrated by the Ukrainian missile attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, as a result of which two landing ships of the Russian Federation were damaged. For the Kremlin, a choice might be imminent, protect refineries or protect front-line forces. It might be impossible to do both. Forbes noted. Ukraine announced new landings of Ukrainian military personnel in Crimea. The head of the main directorate of intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, has announced new operations by the Ukrainian military in the temporarily occupied Crimea. In response to the journalist's question about whether there are any new landings being prepared in Crimea, Budanov replied affirmatively, Yes, they are being prepared, and they will happen. Soon it will be warm, so we will continue. Crimea will be returned, emphasized, the head of the main directorate of intelligence. Budanov stated that Russian occupiers do not abandon plans to once again seize the Ukrainian Zeminyi island, regularly launching missile and bomb attacks. They regularly carry out missile and bomb strikes. There has been information several times, and we have seen its confirmation about conducting a similar operation as we once did. Budanov said, however, according to him, it is impossible to do so. But they couldn't do it because knocking out the garrison from the island is already unrealistic. Emphasize the head of the main directorate of intelligence. The main directorate of intelligence fighters conducted several ground operations in the temporarily occupied Crimea. For example, on August 24, 2023, reconnaissance troops managed to carry out a sortie near the settlement of Mayak on the Tarkhankut Cape. A battle took place within the framework of the main directorate of intelligence special operation involving naval assets and aviation. In turn, Russian sources began to invent their own version of the so-called Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups allegedly destroyed. In reality, at least 30 occupiers were destroyed, and four high-speed boats were damaged as part of the special operation. Furthermore, on October 4, Ukrainian special forces again landed in the occupied Crimea and inflicted a fiery defeat on the Russian occupiers. It is noted that a fierce battle took place as part of this operation, resulting in significant losses among Russian soldiers.

Pete Conrad can sleep through just about anything. That cat can honestly fall asleep at any point regardless of what's going on. But his namesake, Pete Conrad, the commander of Apollo 12, had a bit of a harder time following a sleep on the moon. In fact, most of the moonwalkers found it very difficult to get solid shut-eye in the lunar modules. NASA knew right off the bat that astronauts would be sleeping on the moon. The shortest duration landed mission was Apollo 11, and the crew was on the moon for a little under a day, just about 22 hours, which meant that there would be a rest period during the lunar stay. And of course, looking forward, NASA knew that the longer missions, the J missions, would be extended stays on the moon for multiple days, meaning multiple rest periods. And so it had to address the issue of astronauts sleeping in the lunar module from the get-go. But it was a little bit easier said than done.  But that wasn't exactly the luxury that the astronauts had onboard the lunar module. The lunar module was built expressly as a single-use vehicle to land astronauts on the moon. It had no application beyond landing on the moon with the Apollo architecture. Of course, it was used as a lifeboat for Apollo 13, but that's a separate story. Of all the considerations that led to the lunar module's eventual shape, weight was one of the primary concerns. In the name of keeping the lunar module's weight as low as possible, there were bundles of wires that weren't behind panels because the panels added weight. As we know, there were no seats, the astronauts flew it standing up so that they could see out the smaller windows because the glass, having less glass, saved weight. And it was also tiny. It was designed to keep two men alive for about two days with all of their gear and the rocks that they would eventually bring back from the surface. It wasn't a roomy vehicle. So all that being said, comfort was not exactly the primary design characteristic when it came to building and constructing the inside of the lunar module. On the very first mission, Armstrong and Aldrin were left to find a very comfy little bit of floor to sleep in when they had their one rest period on the moon. But to make matters worse, not only could neither man actually stretch out the length of the cabin, they also didn't take off their suits. NASA was concerned that the lunar regolith that they'd tracked in when they'd gone back inside after their EVA might get into their lungs. Both of them found it quite difficult to get comfortable. Armstrong ended up sleeping on top of the lunar module asset stage cover, with one foot wedged onto the diskey and his head kind of raised up on a little bit of wall, while Aldrin was sort of fetal-like, curled up on a little bit of exposed floor. The cabin was also fairly loud. All the systems, the life support and environmental control obviously had to be running through the night. So if a system turned online, all of a sudden it would be a new noise that would wake them up. Light was another issue. There were shades on the windows, but some light was able to get through. Not to mention the dials and the switches, many of them were lit up throughout the night. Neither man said they slept very well that one night on the moon, which is a little bit dicey when you consider that their next day's activity was a rendezvousing with Collins in the command module. But as we know, they pulled it off brilliantly. Going forward from Apollo 11, NASA sent astronauts up with beta-cloth hammocks. They had to be stacked one over the other in a crisscross section. It was the only way the two could fit, and even still, for some of the taller astronauts, it wasn't the best fit. They had a foot hanging over the edge or their head kind of hitting the top of the hammock. Light remained an issue for all the astronauts on later flights in terms of seeping through the window, as did the ambient noise of the water system turning on and the various environmental control systems running through the night. But with every mission, NASA learned ways to help the astronauts get more rest on the moon. On later missions, astronauts were allowed to take off their pressure suits while they slept, which made them a lot more comfortable. Sometimes they kept the liquid-cooled garment on, and sometimes they put on a lighter flight suit. Ear plugs were found to be a pretty good defense against the cabin noise, and also sleeping pills. NASA knew the astronauts had to be rested no matter what it took if they were going to get a good day's work out of them on the moon. Another challenge when it came to sleeping on the moon? Adrenaline. Many of the astronauts said they had a bit of a hard time sleeping on the moon because they were so excited about being there. If you want more details like who was up all night and who had to take a sleeping pill on the moon, I've gone through mission by mission in my companion blog post over on Discover. The link is in the description below, so definitely check that out if you want to know a little bit more about how sleeping was on the moon.

Okay. Our next speaker is Markus Feilner. He was a Linux journalist. He's also and right now he works at SUSE as a team lead for documentation, leading a global team there. And now he gives a presentation about how he loves contact and how he learns to debug problems with it. Okay. I think this is fine and I'm pretty understandable. Good. Hi everybody. Hello. Yeah. First contact. I mean, I don't think it is really a first contact for you or for me, neither. I've been using contact for a long time and I'm going to tell you why I really like it. Why I think it is at the same time very enterprise ready, but at the other time not that much so or things connected to it.  And I am ready to take every word from every developer to who might want to tell me, don't do that. And I, yeah, you will see. Good. So I will tell you a little bit about me about why KDE, why contact, which version versions I use. We've just seen that it is pretty new, but that's just tumbleweed and my favorite. I will show you my favorite contact functions, which I consider important for enterprise users like me and some exceptionally outstanding gadgetry in contact. That is directly connected to the letter and the last block will be troubleshooting and I'm ready for discussion about that.  I don't know. It's all mostly autodidactic. I learned it as I went. I'll tell you why. So that is me in my home, my apartment. And as you can see, I'm wearing a Ubuntu hoodie on the top, a red hat, a Debian base cap and what you can't see, but here's a Chameleon. So this is one of the rare red Susie fleece shirts that we produced once. And I see myself like that because I started quite a long time ago with Linux. I'm talking about these versions to get just to get that out of the way. I have to, this cable is a little bit too short. I'm talking about contact in version, what is it, 18043. And Akonadi, the same version, Baloo 548-0 and Akonadi console 18043. All of that is pretty recent from July 19. And I'm using, of course, Open Susie. I'm using Tumbleweed rolling release and it's got the newest basis for especially KDE and other applications that I could have. I started with Susie in 1994. As you could see with the picture I used Fedora, Ubuntu Mint, Debian and other distributions, some of them for years, some of them just shorter. I ran my own business, which I still own. I worked as a consultant and a journalist for Linux Magazine. And I am now team lead of 16 people who write documentation at Susie in a growing team. And if you're looking for a job, I have to say that, of course, Susie is hiring. We've got 300 open positions and we grew to 1,400 people now from the 800 that I started with in 2015. And I'm still writing articles. I'm still doing talks and lobbyists for open source and I think Tumbleweed really rocks. Up there is a picture of me from our Open Susie conference in Prague this year. So this is the email basic setup. I have to go pretty fast because I only have 25 minutes if you want to ask me questions. So the slides are free to have, so I will jump over some things, but you can read it. My slides are always pretty full of text because I want to give you something to read for later also. So I've been using Korea, Cyrus and Dofcut. I used Scalix or the same product but different name, HP OpenMail or Samsung, something. Microsoft Exchange, Citadel, Novell, Microfocus, Groupwise, OwnCloud, NextCloud, OpenExchange and other Cloud Dofcut implementations. Currently I have four Dofcut server accounts in my contact and it's gigabytes of email. And some of the accounts I administrate, some of the Dofcut servers I do administrate on my own. The others are run by companies. I've written some articles for Linux Magazine and others over the years. The first one was in 2007, a comparison of Open Source Groupware. The second one was a comparison under the name of the Firmusketeere. Sorry, some of this is in German screenshots also. But the Firmusketeers were four male clients on Linux. And I also wrote a book about Scalix but Scalix never really went Open Source so that was sort of like a little bit of a failure. Great software but sadly not Open Source. Yeah, despite all the cracks that turned up in KDE in contact, I just say that when I say the magical number four, you will all know what I'm talking about. Despite all of that, I stuck with contact. I tried Thunderbird and Claws in the years of KDE 4 and when Akonati didn't really work but I came back later. Because in my opinion it has so many great features that I regularly use in my environment. Import, export, smart setup wizard, automatically archived mails and data, templates, drafts for new mails, snippets, autocorrect and heaps of configuration options like folder settings, mailing lists. I guess if you're using it, you know most of that. For the others, try it. I absolutely like the way it handles encryption with PGP. I haven't used Asmime much but I really like it. I think it is among the main clients that are available the best and easiest way to use and to introduce people to using it because they at the same time get an understanding of what's going on and they can really use it. What I really like a lot is how it integrates with the standard tools of KDE and also with Cleopatra and GPT in the background. One point where the quality may vary is it integrates with the communication service. I call it communication service because it's not only groupware. In fact, Contact is the only groupware client on Linux but the service I wouldn't call owner next cloud or Google or Facebook a groupware server. It's just services that they offer. I talked today with someone who has seen the current state of the MS Exchange connector which uses the web protocol. What's his name again? No, not web. The web access. Uber. I think it was that. Was it before? Is it a newer one? It doesn't matter. It works pretty well but there is problems with Microsoft's implementation. That's the last thing I heard from a developer. Basically, you can integrate all of these services in contact. Here you see that's the screenshot from integrating an email server. The Microsoft Exchange connector already integrates also appointments and calendaring. This is the calendar. You can see you have Facebook and Google Calendar and arbitrary I-Call whatever you want. I'm very happy with that. Another thing I'm using extensively and I've also written a long article. I think it's seven pages on that. It's service-side email filtering to my knowledge. The only standardized server-side language, small language for filtering. I did lots of groupware migrations and this is something that everybody forgets in groupware migrations. People forget to calculate how much time their employees have to spend in the migration and new setup of their email filters. Seaf is the only one. I don't have that issue because I just choose another. I went to Dofcott when Dofcott could do Seaf. Why should I change before? This interface to my knowledge is the best interface around. Second, maybe round cube, but that's only web-based. You can click, click, click new filters and they are stored on the server. You can access them via an I-O file or an I-O client. Sorry. We are an I-O slave also from Dolphin. Just type sieve dot dot slash slash and your name at server and you see the files that are on the sieve server and you can just open them. Why? This is so much better. The same thing that is exclusive to Contact is the integration of IMAP folder sharing. If you know a little bit about IMAP, you know that every folder or mailbox on an IMAP server can have access rights. If we have an account on the same server, I can grant you the access to read, write, delete and some other things on append here. Read, write, append all rights to an mailbox or folder on my server. That makes it so easy to work together. I'm using that at work with colleagues. We share one folder for a project. Then, I think the benefits of KDE are, I mean I'm running through open doors here, I guess. The search, a Kanadi search, this is also, you see now we're getting directly into troubleshooting. The desktop search, just hit Alt F2 or click on an empty spot on the desktop and start typing and also your emails and everything will be searched and presented to you. That is amazing. Recently, it works pretty well. Now, it's Baloo. It used to be Neppunmuk, but Baloo indexes, mails, attachments, everything. When I start writing a new email, I write your name and I will find about five or six email addresses of you, even though we probably have never exchanged directly an email. Your name with your email address at whatever company you've ever worked will be in some of the documents, some of the PDFs, some of the mailing lists on my system. I don't need to know your email address. I don't need an address book anymore. Since about 10 years, I'm not actively maintaining or using an address book. I'm totally relying on Akanadi and Baloo and it works for me with all the hassle. Okay.  I use contact almost completely with the keyboard. Yeah, but that would be like, I'm totally out of the concept of managing an address book. It's right. You have to show me. That's cool. I'm using it completely with my keyboard. For example, when a new mail comes in, I want to move it to the academy folder. I just type m a k a return. m is for move. When I'm in the list of mails, m is for move. Then the filter pops up and the folder list and that type a k a, then the academy folder is highlighted, return, and the mail is there. That is something that people don't believe when, that is something that the mud people won't believe about KDE. The extended, oh yes, at home and at work, I've got three monitors and believe it or not, my contact is spread over two monitors constantly and the edit, the mail window is on the third monitor. So I have the list of folders, the list of emails on one HD monitor, and the contact application spans two monitors. It is always opening like that because I can read an email on one monitor. I have the list and the mailing, the mail, the list of folders and the list of mails on the second monitor and an editor will pop up on the third monitor. So I have always total overview. And with the extended settings of Kwin, I can just make that permanent. This is the feature. It's an extended setting in the window properties. In this case, for example, just for the fun, 13,000 wide, 7,000 high. I mean, I don't have stacks of 4K monitors, but... So that was the first half. I think I'm quite good in time. Or not the first half. That was the praise. And now we're coming to the stuff. You know this, I guess. It's something stalled. The folder isn't fetched. It's like your internet connection stopped working or whatever. You don't know what to do. And yes, it still happens, sadly. Or just what happened just today up here. Sending was successful, but the message could not be moved to the folder send. For send messages. So the message probably reached the people I was sending it to, but why on earth couldn't it send it into this folder? So I tried an add-on module in contact to protocolize the protocol to log all activities. And I haven't followed what the expert plugin does. Maybe some dev can tell me. But the protocol is pretty fancy because I can see, okay, I stopped moving of the message. That is the protocol. You have to restart contact. I stopped it. I stopped the move of the message. Then I started again. But it only said it didn't work. So there may be situations where this helps, but this one, it didn't help. Usually when you keep running into problems like this that don't solve itself, here's a little how-to that I learned what to do to fix that. I mean, some of you will maybe say, don't do that, Marcus. You can't tell them that. But hey, it works for me. And I'm not docker. So I start and stop Arkonadi server. We'll come to that in a second. The Arkonadi server in the background with Arkonadi control. You run Arkonadi FSTK, Arkonadi check while it's running. You can run Arkonadi control vacuum that's sort of like PAX, as I understood it. PAX, the Arkonadi database. Then you restart contact. You maybe even restart KDE or reboot the machine just to get a playing field. It's not the way we usually do, but I've learned this may be helpful. Also because constant updates, the rolling release, thunderbird, and you don't know if it's just because some old libraries are still in the memory being used somewhere, so a kernel is updated or whatever. You have a recreate index function in the folder. In the folders, by a menu, you can unsubscribe from this folder locally. There's local subscriptions and server-side subscriptions. So if you unsubscribe and subscribe again, this will make contact, rebuild the cache for this folder if there's something wrong in the cache. And you can use Arkonadi console to recreate the IMAP cache too. I will show you these things with short screenshots. And you should check with another machine if it's not a problem of the IMAP server, of course. If all of this fails, you've got a problem. So here's Arkonadi control or Arkonadi CTL. Most important features are the commands at the beginning. Start, stop, restart, status, and then vacuum and FSCK. I never used instances. I never had to use it. This is what it does. You see here in the middle. So these are screenshots that I took during the last days when some things went wrong. And I thought, okay, I can use this screenshot for the speech, for the presentation. Maybe it's helpful. So what you see here is I did an Arkonadi FS check. And it said, okay, I found 53,000 external files. Cleaning up missing external files. And then he starts, okay, here's one thing that is... He misses an external file. But that's happening regularly for me. I don't know why if it's just because I have some 16 GB of mails in five accounts and that is maybe a setup that is not that common for Arkonadi for testing. I don't know, but it keeps happening for me. And in most cases, Arkonadi Ctrl-FSCK can fix that in my setup. In most cases, but not always. You know, when you set up an IMAP account, you have the choice between what used to be called offline and online. Nowadays it's called something like local cache. They work very differently. And actually the one that is mostly tested is nowadays default, which is to have local cache. Online IMAP thing, yeah. I use the local cache as a standard and the mails online just for my group-wise server. So the group-wise server, that's not really... That doesn't have many emails. I use full mail download as a standard. Because the way I... Well, I'm not an Arkonadi expert, but I put my hands into it a few times. These files are attachments to your emails. So if it's online, it doesn't really matter, because you're going to get them again. It's going to get them again. I haven't had any consistent problems. That's also why I said have a look at the mail server. If something is corrupted there. Because it's a file. I also thought it's an external file. It must be an attachment or something. So I went on the mail server from a different machine. I could see there's no Arkonadi. Sure, this is about your local cache anyway. If anything gets lost, it's in your local cache, not on the mail server anyway. Yeah, it's Arkonadi, right? If you have a sincere doubt in your Arkonadi instance, there is a tool that's called Arkonadi Test. And what it does, it creates a cache and a lot of stuff. And you have to be careful, because it will create this stuff in TMP. There's some more mistakes in that. I did a mistake in that. This is about running unit tests. I don't think it's going to help you with your user problems. This is about running unit tests. It says in its description that the tool is there to test whether your Arkonadi setup is correct. I don't think that's what it is. That's about running unit tests. I filled my root partition yesterday with it. You see that I was running it, and then I stopped it. And the second, the DU is some 10 minutes later, because my system started to behave strangely, and then I found out that my root partition was full, because the TMP wasn't in a special partition. It's a laptop, yeah? And I found that there were 12 gigabytes of Arkonadi Test. The cache that it built up was 12 gigabytes. I don't know why, but I just said, there's something that I noticed yesterday. Yeah, talk about it. We have another thing that's Balu. That's the successor to Nippermock, the search indexer. The indexer for the search engine now. And it's got some interesting, it's got the principle of the same commands, status, start, stop, restart. And interesting is monitor, because indexing is a process, it takes a lot of resources. It can take a lot of time. You can imagine that the 16 gigabytes of emails that I have take a lot of time. I usually have it run overnight for the indexing. And the monitor command is pretty interesting because it gives you some output about what's going on right now. So, and the best tool, which I must say its capabilities are beyond my reach in terms of understanding what's going on. But the best debugging tool is Arkonadi Console. This is also where you can do the, where you can make the biggest mistakes and destroy things, I assume. That's why there is this warning. But you have a debugger with lots of detail. And that's where I would ask some developer if the other file missing or whatever mistakes persist. So you've got a debugger, you have to activate all of these functions, monitoring, debugging and everything. But it's very helpful if you know what you're doing. You can also create a cache from here. You can dump things to XML and other things. So you can really sort of like low level access and get help for the server. And now is the hard way. That's what I had to do several times, especially after, then after KDE4 and later. Stop Arkonadi, remove the TMP files for Arkonadi. There is often some, there used to be stuff wrong in there and have Arkonadi do a plain start. And then I start Arkonadi console and contact at the same time to see if I have any troubles, helped in some cases. This is what, yeah, this is a horrible script, as you can see that sort of grew over the years to get for testing purposes and for Linux magazine articles and for setups to get rid of all prior settings around contact, KDE, PIM, K-mail and Arkonadi on my system. So what I did is, lots of files in a variety of places that aren't correct anymore today, but that was a script. I made this a script because I needed it that often. That says a lot, I think. I wanted to put this disclaimer here, the dangers of file deletion because I will give you the paths where stuff is in and config files are in. I'll be done in just three slides. You may lose all local changes that have not been synced to your server if you delete and mess with Arkonadi cache and files. That's a given. That's just normal. Workaround copy recent layers to local mail folder before proceeding. That mostly works. So copy the mails from the last day to the local mail folder and then mess with Arkonadi because you still have the secure state on the IMAP server. So that's what I learned. I can delete all of it and give it a fresh start and then copy the mails that I tried to send or that I sent in the last days in there. What's more work is that you lose all the settings, all those wonderful folder settings, for example, because the folders have a name, but they also have a hash or a string in the configuration files. It's a number, as far as I remember, and they are identified by the number. So contact gets irritated by that. The send folder will suddenly be a completely different folder. It's not that it doesn't find a folder. It will just use a different one. I haven't found out why, and the same applies to draft and templates. But for all the other folders, you will just lose the settings because the folder doesn't exist anymore, so you have to set it up again. There is quite a number that can be... quite some steps that can be automated, like I did with the other script, and some config files can just be copied back and forth. Also, when you set up a new machine, like identities or mail transports that make your life easier so you don't need to enter the mail server again if you don't want to use the wizard. This is my current state of the directories and files that are being used by Akonadi and Contact. If you have a look, that should be at least on my tumbleweed system. It's cache Akonadi. That's the Akonadi cache. So if you delete it with Akonadi console, that's where this happens. If you do an RMRF in this directory, you just pull the cache away from Akonadi, but it will recreate it automatically when it starts again with the problems of the folder names. I don't know what exactly is in TMP Akonadi, but it can be a lot. It's temporary files. On my desktop machines, I have this in a large tempfs file so it will be automatically deleted on reboot. As I mentioned, if you stop running Akonadi tests because it's not meant for end users, the only thing you'll find in TMP Akonadi is a socket for my SQL and that's about it. There are really just like four tiny files. There are zero size files because they are sockets. That's all there is in TMP, yes.  Wait, how on earth could there be 12GB when I run an Akonadi test? That's the only case that there might be more files. But Akonadi tests are supposed to be used from the unit test framework and then it's probably set up with different parameters just running it yourself. So it's not supposed to do that, but if you don't do that then it's really just socket files. Then we have config files. We have the main mail storage in local share Akonadi. We have the index of the desktop search engine in local share balloon and we have the local mail and local mail folders. Correct? Obviously. I am done. I just wanted to give you some sources of information. I think we as KDE should do something. But this is a good start. So I'm ready for questions if there is time left. We don't have much time, but if there's one small short question with a short answer. I wanted just one more disclaimer. I'm not a developer. I'm not a coder. I've been a user for something like 20 years and I only filed, I think, one single bug in this whole realm because with the systems that I've been using especially with Tumbleweed, most of the bugs got fixed faster than I could file one. In my experience with the Microsoft Exchange plugin it works only when you initialize it and for the calendar it only works read only. But if you reboot the system it doesn't work anymore. Ever. That's my experience and that was a few months maybe a year ago. I'm hoping it's better now. I haven't tried it yet. Have you tried it recently? I just came across it this week and I just learned this week that there is a new one. I hadn't expected it. I just came across it because colleagues of mine had used Evolution with Exchange Connector and it failed or has big troubles since the last update that Microsoft did in July 17 or something like that. So that's only why I came across it at all.  It's a local feature of Contactor. It's just a certain protocol to communicate with a certain mail server. It's a front-end tool. It's a front-end, a local editor with syntax check that uses this sieve protocol to put down a file on the server. It's still server-side. It's server-side filtering. This is just the good to use it. Behind you. No, we have no time now. You can ask later on. Thank you for your presentation. Thank you.


Hello, and welcome to Ask Chrome. This is the show where you get to ask the Chrome team questions. My name is Sam Dutton, and I'm a developer advocate on the Chrome team. Hi, I'm Joao Weiss, also a developer advocate on the Chrome team. I've done a bunch of image-related work in my past, including being heavily involved in the Responsive Images community group. So I'm super happy to be here today to talk about images. Yeah, fantastic. We're honored to have Joao here today, because I know he's done a bunch of really good things with images. So thank you, Joao. Anyway, if you are watching on YouTube Premieres, you can add questions to the live chat. If you're watching this afterwards, then please just add questions to the comments, and we'll come back to you there. Thank you so much for all the questions on Twitter using the hashtag Ask Chrome. We've got a bunch of interesting topics to cover from them today. Again, I'm going to talk about image formats and SEO and compression and a bunch of new capabilities in the future. So yeah, a bunch of new things to get on to, but also a little surprise from Joao, I believe. Not really a surprise, but we'll talk a bit about the largest image on the web. Yeah, I guess that's not a surprise. But anyway, before we get on to image blight, we do want to talk about image formats because we've had a lot of questions about this, in particular, WebP, a question from Eugene Kopich, asking about WebP support in Safari. Now, Joao, if I know you don't work on Safari or WebKit, but any word on this? Nothing in particular. So iOS 10, one of the betas introduced WebP support, and then it got pulled out. And I know that the WebKit codebase has WebP support for various ports that are using it, but not for the Safari port of WebKit. I'm hopeful that with the recent development of support from Firefox and Edge, the WebKit team, the Safari team will reconsider and potentially add support in the future. Fantastic, yeah. It would be great to see that. I mean, one obvious point to make here is that, you know, it's really easy to code for WebP with fallbacks. We've actually had a question about this from Victor Lenichak. Just want to show some code on screen now that, in this example, shows how you can code for a transparent image using WebP but with a PNG fallback. Really simple stuff there. Also had questions about sort of successes and, you know, the future of WebP. A question here from Ryan Townsend. Now, I've kind of heard about, like, AVIF and other stuff, but I don't really know much about it. Joath, please, could you tell us more about the future formats? Sure. So, yes, AVIF is a still image format that's based on the AV1 video codec. And AV1 introduces a lot of new and exciting compression concepts that allow us to get significant compression gains. At the same time, when looking at images on the web, AV1 has trade-off when it comes to decoding speed and the decoding cost of AVIF images is a bit too high to be usable for images on the web. Okay. At the same time, maybe there are some things to learn from those compression concepts so that they can be applied to some future format. Yeah, I look forward to seeing what's happening there.  So, I look forward to seeing where that goes. We've also had several questions about SEO. So, search engine optimization for images. A question from Thomas asking about SVG. Is SVG SEO friendly? And we've actually been to the search team here and asked them, and yes, is the answer. SEO is great for SVGs. SVGs will get indexed and appear on Google images just like any other image. Just bear in mind that, you know, text in the code in an SVG is not indexed. So, if you're using links and stuff in the text in the code for an SVG, that won't be indexed. Just bear in mind that inline images with SVG don't get indexed. So, just be aware of that when you're using SVGs. But also I wanted to mention, you know, that thinking about this from an accessibility perspective, how you can make images more accessible. Yeah, we also had a question from Thomas that related to the alt attribute and whether that's mandatory for SEO purposes. And I guess that beyond just SEO, it's mandatory for accessibility purposes because we really want all users to be able to understand our images. So, the alt attribute is fundamental for that. And also for SEO, Google search doesn't look into, doesn't try to decipher text inside of images. Gotcha. And yeah, the alt attribute is what it's facing. Yeah, it's still the way to go. It's indexing on, so that's definitely the way to go. Yeah, I mean, one thing that I've noticed is, you know, that if you're adding a text layer over a photographic image, it can really mess up your chances of getting good compression on that image. So, yeah, the short answer is keep your text and your images separate and you get better SEO and better accessibility. So, moving on to some other topics, actually, thinking about best practice. Going back to Victor's question, just want to show you a little extra markup that does some more stuff here. So, using a source set to enable the browser to choose different image sizes, depending on the viewport. And for bonus points, you can use the sizes attribute to actually specify the size of the image element that is in the display. So, two really useful attributes there. So, as you can see from the developer tools, Chrome is using the WebP and Safari is falling back to the JPEG. Now, we've also had a question from Eric Lawrence about WebP pointing out that, you know, some sites on Google don't use WebP. We had a check and, you know, most Google sites are using WebP.  I mean, I think that's just the way for a lot of organizations. So, next question was about animated GIFs. The question is, you know, should we stop using animated GIFs? And the answer is yes, yes. There are great tools like FFMpeg that make it really easy to encode from animated GIFs to a better format. And as you can see from the HTML markup here, it's really easy to use video for a much better alternative to an animated GIF. Just bear in mind that we have the muted attribute here, which means that, you know, autoplay is not blocked from platforms that otherwise would stop that. Yeah, and one more point related to animated GIFs. If you have many different animated GIFs on the same site, it might be better to convert them to an animated WebP rather than a video because videos are by default routed through the GPU and that can cause performance problems if you have too many of them on a single site. Right, yes. Thanks for reminding us. Yeah, so yeah, video or animated WebP. Okay, so since I managed to get Yo-F into the studio, I like, I get to ask a question, I believe, anyway. So my question really was about image dimensions.  Since then I've heard about like intrinsic size and aspect ratio. You know, what's going on? Tell us the news. Sure, so adding width and height as part of markup was inherently something that was considered to go against the responsive web design. Yeah, that's right. You don't really know what the dimensions of the image will be because they can vary based on the viewport. At the same time that resulted in janky layout and reflows once the browser actually got the real image dimensions when it downloaded the image. So in order to resolve that, the Chrome team had a proposal for an intrinsic size attribute which would give the browser ahead of time the intrinsic dimension of the image or its aspect ratio and that will enable the browser to get layout right the first time around. So to look out the height based on knowing the width. But feedback we got from the Mozilla folks was that they're not super excited about adding yet another attribute on image when we already have the width and height attributes. So if we will slightly change the way that people do responsive design and have them also define like both the width and the height as part of CSS, that would mean that we can use the width and height attributes in order for the browser to know what the intrinsic dimensions are or what the aspect ratio is. So the browser can use that in order to determine the initial intrinsic dimensions which are currently fixed but will be based on those attributes up until the point where the browser actually downloads the image and knows what the final dimensions are. So I can use that to get the aspect ratio without having to first download the image. That's cool, okay. And Yoav, while you're here, I also wanted to ask about lazy loading. Can you tell us where that's going? So people have been using JavaScript in order to lazy load images for the longest while and now finally starting from Chrome 76 that exists in native and all you have to do is just add the loading attribute with a lazy value and the browser will do the right thing and only load the image when the user is very likely to actually see it. Similar to JavaScript based lazy loading, you don't wanna do that for images that are very likely to already be in the viewport but mostly focused on images that are not likely to be in the initial viewport but the user will scroll to them eventually in some cases. Yeah, that's great to see. And yeah, one last thing we did promise you earlier to find out about the biggest image on the web. What's the deal, Yoav? Sure, so we sent out this tweet related to images and asked Chrome hashtag and Adios Money, our colleague, asked, what's the best image on the web? And folks in the community obviously immediately said the biggest one and Paul Kovano and Rick Viskomi digged up that data from the HTTP archive and came up with a bunch of very large images. So 59 meg JPEG, which turned out to be mostly background noise as well as a huge image. Fantastic, yeah, yeah. And Eric Portis from... We sent a few hero images like this. Yeah, Eric Portis from Cloudinary managed to downsize that a bit and compress it down to 60K, which is way more reasonable. Yeah. And otherwise there was a 30 meg arrow SVG, which was mostly a clip path based image data, which can be, you know, probably 10 bit downsize into 10K. Just like an arrow, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, it's always great to hear. You know, that's like, you know, the possibilities on the web with images. I mean, you can get from like 60 meg to 60K. That's actually really good news. So thank you so much, Yoav, for being with us today. I really appreciate that. And thank you, everyone, for all your questions. You can post more questions using the Ask Chrome hashtag on Twitter, or you can just post comments on this video on YouTube. So thanks so much, and thanks again, Yoav. Thank you. Goodbye.


Hello everybody and welcome back. I'm your wherever we're here on a set of corset in a pretty packed lobby to talk about something today If you haven't guessed by the title the fact that I believe a set of corset drifting As I die there is slowly Starting to die in the aspect of how fun it used to be so make sure you follow me on all social media I'll put your pound in the description box below Let's get into it So we are here on limerock in some Ravey garage cars on a public server, which is what I want to talk about not many public servers are Open anymore. Nobody really goes into Public drift lobbies with car packs anymore. There's not many lobbies that are usually always full Maybe one maybe two lobbies that I know of that are usually Popping with people in it So Something I've noticed recently is a lot of people all they really want to do is get their car in on a server And it's a lot of you know competition servers and stuff like that And not many people just come on to say like a server like this Just to get some a bash time and have a good time and run, you know Just with your friends throwing drift trains and everything like that. It's all about well I want to drift You know my car the car I built or something like that not these car pack cars that grass is really slippery Not car pack cars anything like that and it also boils down to people that don't want to drive with people they don't know because they don't want to run them is can get the doors mashed in or You know an inexperienced new driver like I'm acting like right now an inexperienced new driver that they don't know How they drive they don't want to drive with just random So I would love to see a set of course the lobbies get back and have more fun with everybody just Throwing down like this. I'm getting bathed in smoke back here Because I can only count of I think three. Oh We all kind of got stacked up there Only count maybe three lobbies that I know that are usually have people in them. I thought I was going in the grass and It's it's kind of getting to the point where I've noticed like Like I said people just want to drive their own cars or they only want to drive with people they know or teams So it's always, you know, oh, we'll keep up my car in the server or oh Well, I only want to drive this guy and you know this any other thing what you know when I started drifting in a set Oh really it was Constant lobbies like this. I cannot see where I'm going, but it's all good and it was constant just Baster lobbies, I don't know how I held that Unsure 180 is definitely a Getting the work put into it having a lot of fun with this So you're gonna catch me a lot more in as many random lobbies as I can get trying to get drifting back Fun where it's just chilling having a good time throwing doors. Maybe the occasional crash But to me that's okay, and I don't mind it. Well, there we go We're just having a good old time right now chasing this man. I'm just repping in that one. Oh, he's in dirt. I Tried to make a clean pass, but he was in the dirt. That was not gonna be clean We'll stack back to pits and go full send on this We have to take a look at some of the replays of this because this but that seemed like some pretty good solid runs Up on this 14 Oh as I say that man goes a grass line and Everywhere show we're gonna come into this middle section and try and see if we can't catch in This bit of a two-man Now it's a one-man every time I do that it comes from two to one We'll try and chase this beamer Really gotta adjust my force feedback as you can see and we just hit pits button I really need to adjust the force feedback down a little bit in a set-up. I'm getting a lot of chatter now I have it turned up way high and these cars Tend to not like it's super high So like I said just something that has been on my mind if you guys disagree or agree with me Let me know down in the comments what you guys think about You know a set of course of lobbies and recently how they've become Because to me I feel like it's become mostly people just wanting to drive their own cars And nobody really comes in and runs car-pack cars anymore in open lobbies because The just the simple fact that people just want to run with people they know and there's not many just open Baster lobbies anymore that are full Can't see bathes and smokes. Oh, those guys just died. I mean we're just gonna continue running running this first person trying to get my And that affects fully properly set up Ultra wide-making it really nice to be able to see way more than I normally see that's grass that does not help me Way more than I normally see inside the car We're gonna pop over this way. Let these let these guys go right past Probably try and jump back in one final time and then we'll go take a look at some of those Replay angles of chasing down the Miata Not like grass life Growing it trying to catch up to that 318 I think he's on the super grippy tires. I'm on one less grip tire a little bit more of a street tire He's probably on the really grippy tires Cut the lines a little bit to catch up and also if you guys know a server that's constantly full or you guys are in Let me know down in the comments. Like I said, I'm gonna be spending way more time on public servers Because I have a lot of fun just doing this kingdoms with randoms and stuff like that What's grass line So make sure you guys follow me and all social media on the description box below if you guys enjoyed this And you guys have a few cents to put in put it down in the comment section down below What do you guys think about the state of a set of course of lobbies and as always? I think guys for coming back and watching we're gonna look at some of the replay angles I'll leave you with that. I'm evil rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track


YouTube team can be clean. I hope y'all are having a wonderful night. I just accidentally deleted 49 minutes worth of questions from subscribers that I worked on.  Anyway, sit down, relax. I feel like we're gonna be here for a long time because we got a lot to cover. So my apologies in it, well, I'm really not sorry. But something that I'm also not sorry about, I put it on record on Twitter. I put it on record on this bingles channel that I was on earlier today. Ravens21, bingles19, let's get it.  So of course Lamar Jackson. He put out the tweet yesterday, talking about his injury, saying that he wished he could be out there with his guys, but he still got swelling in his knee and whatnot. Basically saying, hey, I'm not ready, my body ain't ready, I can't play. I wanna play, but I can't play. But then today, I'm not sure how it just started floating around today, but there was an interview that Sammy Watkins, well, not even an interview, but he was speaking in the locker room on Wednesday and this was put out today. Let's just listen to some of the stuff that he had to say. In this league, this is from Sammy Watkins now. In this league, everybody's pretty much banged up, hurt. I don't want to speak for him, Lamar Jackson and his situation and whatever he's going through with the contracts. I don't know what world he's in, but for me, you got a chance to do something special. We all know it, Lamar Jackson out there, this team is really freaking good and special things can happen. He can wield this team to a Super Bowl. I don't think he's thinking about it that way. So with that being said, Sammy Watkins basically saying, hey, Lamar, you got a chance here to do something really special and everybody in this league is hurt right now. So pretty much he's saying like, you ain't got no excuse to not be playing. I don't know what's going on with your contract and I'm hurt, you hurt, we all hurt, it's the end of the season, it's playoffs. So basically he's saying, hey, you got an opportunity that you missing right now. And it was funny because I saw somebody, I forgot who it was, but they were like, this is Sammy Watkins the one telling somebody to play through an injury really? The irony, it's Sammy Watkins. Now we know Sammy Watkins, he can play but he been hurt more times than most. But anyway, he also said, but he's got an opportunity to win the Super Bowl. I hope he hobbles back out there. This is coming from Sammy Watkins. Like again, everybody entitled to their own opinion, which is fine, that's great. But this is coming from Sammy Watkins.  I mean, the house has been made a paper. This is correct. Let's keep going. Put him out for the pass plays and don't run him at all. Now, Sammy, you've been in this offense for one year and about two games.  Do you know who your offense is? Like you usually know better than anybody. You had Greg Roman in Buffalo. Like, come on now, baby. He said, put him out there for, put him out for the pass plays and don't run him at all. But you never know. That could be wrong. I'm being very selfish right now just to want him to be out on the field. But man, what a great thing it would be to see. Number eight, touch the field this Sunday and we go out there and blow them out. But that's full of ma and everybody else to figure out. Hope miraculously something happens. Somebody reach out to him, whether it's a coach or somebody and he decides to play. I'm sure you got his phone number. It's probably a Florida area. But anyway, but that's a question. If he's healthy or not, I don't know. I haven't been watching him. So pretty self-explanatory stuff there. Then he continues that I think the world is ready to see Lamar Jackson back on the field doing what he do best and get all the stipulations and contract stuff behind him. So Sammy is really thinking that this whole thing is contract related. That's what he's insinuating. I mean, he kept repeating the word contract and talked about the contract stuff. So he thinks it's contract related. This is coming from a player. It's a little different because it's not coming from a media member or anything like that. It's coming from a player directly on the team. And then he continued. He said, I pray somebody talks to him like, man, just sign the deal. You know what I mean?  We all know that's up to Lamar and whatever goes on. Hopefully they get something done. The world wants to see Lamar be a Baltimore Raven for the rest of his life. So again, Sammy, putting it back to being on a contract. So anyway, he said, I'm blessed to play with him. But the world wants to watch Lamar Jackson. That's a phenom talent. A talent that you rarely come by. Things that he do on the field and things that you see. To be quite honest, when he's out there, he makes everybody play better. Just to have him in that huddle, I pray that somebody reach out to him or that he's really truly getting healthy and can play that he wake up Thursday and be like, all right, forget it. I'm playing. I think that would change the whole trajectory of our season. So Sammy Watkins with some very strong words right there. And again, this was on Wednesday. Lamar Jackson put out the tweet about himself on Thursday. And that whole like ordeal was just crazy in itself. I know there were a lot of people. There's been a lot of, there's just been a lot of discourse about the Ravens period, as y'all all know. But about the, what Ravens fans deserve. That's what I've been seeing a lot of conversation about.  The hardball don't owe the fans anything like that. And then I've seen some people say, no, hardball actually does owe that to the fans. The fans are the one that show up. The fans are the one rooting his team on. So he does owe that to the fans. Cause again, this is not just about any random play. This is about the Ravens starting star, quarterback Lamar Jackson. And we just, we wanted some updates. We wanted something, but we just had been getting really vague stuff, really tip tone around stuff. And for me, I felt like hardball knew. Cause I'm like, hey, this is the head coach. This is the head coach of the team. He gotta know about this stuff. But apparently, according to Barstool Banks, there's a lot more to this story.  It really, it really kickstarted a lot of the, just the thoughts, the rumors, the what it could be, the, there's stuff going on behind the scenes. I remember he said, there's stuff going on that'll make your head spin. I'll never forget it. But, and I remember we covered the article and it was just like, huh. And that seemed to be the beginning of what to me seems like the end for Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens. But again, we'll see when we see, but he did publish another article today. And here we go. Let's just, let's get into it. We'll cover it piece by piece. And I'm sure I'll leave the link to it so he can get his credit. Of course, Barstool Bank, shout out to him. But I'll put the link so he can get his credit so you can read the whole thing for yourself as well. So, he's speaking about Sammy Watkins. He said, what a monologue this is, especially from a guy who wasn't even on a team until 24 days ago. Granted, he was on the Ravens last year and has a rapport with Lamar from then, but still this is from the clouds and completely out of character from what is typically a tight lip locker room. But it's also telling which I'll get to. So, yes, a tight lip locker. Yes, that's what the Ravens normally are. Ravens ain't so tight-lipped anymore, as we all know. We know that. We've seen it. The Ravens, like, with the Ravens, you can always tell when things are getting out of control. You can always tell. But, and recently things have been getting out of control. But anyway, he said, it's more or less a plea for Lamar to come save the day, which is totally the scenario at hand. The team cannot go on a run without number eight. That's factual and his team knows it. But it's also dripping with skepticism that the injury is one that is truly keeping Lamar off the field. It may acknowledge a degree of mystery surrounding his health, but everything else in the series of quotes suggesting is suggesting he's making a business decision. So, yeah, that's what we said about the whole Sammy Watkins thing. Sammy Watkins is alluding to it being about the contract for Lamar Jackson. All right. So, and then Barstool Banks talked about how it's important to note that, despite these quotes being published on Friday morning, that Sammy said these things before on Wednesday, which was before Lamar broke his silence and described the nature of his injury. So, we did talk about that too. Yeah, this Sammy Watkins said all this stuff on Wednesday. So, it was before Lamar tweeted the whole thing. Could Lamar have tweeted that as sort of a response to what Sammy Watkins said? Who knows? Could he have tweeted it as a response to everything that Harbaugh's been saying? Who knows? We may never know. But anyway, he's had the fact that Sammy Sentiment even existed at all as a problem in itself, and I do believe it's sentiment shared by at least some in that room. Last week, I had heard at least one veteran was fed up and that apparently Lamar Jackson doesn't, and this is how the veteran felt. Apparently Lamar Jackson just doesn't want to play. So, again, this is coming from Barstool Banks. He said he got his sources. Now, with Barstool Banks, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt because I know some people would be like, oh, it's Barstool Banks, who is that? What is that? Every time Barstool Banks has said something, every time he has put something out, it's ended up being true. It's ended up being true. I remember there was the Marcus Peters trade. Every year, he gets to schedule super early. Super early. And I know there's been other stuff that he broke too, but over the years that I've seen because I would see his name buzzing and a lot of stuff, like big, big Ravens type of news. Big stuff, but. So anyway, so apparently there's a veteran that's upset with Lamar's hand.  Who could that veteran be? I don't know. I don't know who it could be. If I had to guess, I'll probably say like Kalea's Campbell, Justin Euston, because I would say it was one of them because both of them would probably be like, man, I'm tired, man, I want to go home. I want to go home, but I'm out here trying to get a ring one last year. Lamar, I need you, man. But well, if it's Kalea's Campbell, I'm tired, I'm trying to go home. Lamar, I need you, man. But anyway, now he did say, he said, whether that's actually fact or just an impression guys have that's a huge problem for a guy that wants to be paid big money to leave a locker room for years to come. He also said, if you read my blog yesterday about Lamar's tweets, it's dripping with frustration that he let speculation run wild for weeks. Surely one could read that and wonder why I had little to say about the team, coaching staff, et cetera, and their roles in shutting down the speculation. That's because I believe the team has been largely left in the dark. There were rumors swirling a few weeks ago that Lamar had not been into the team facility to get treatment and rehab the injury. Most of that was fueled by the Baltimore Suns, Mike Preston, who casually slipped in a Q and A column on December 14th, the following quote. And we, of course, we remember this, we covered this quote with Mike Preston said, it's no secret to any of the coaches or top members of the front office that Jackson is a slacker and needs to have more due diligence in getting adequate rest, eating a healthy diet, being alert in meetings and workouts and getting proper rehabilitation instructions. So with Mike Preston, he put that out.  So I know there were people like, I mean, we questioned it too. Like it was a little weird, it was a little weird. Like you literally said one thing and then you turn around and said the exact opposite. And a lot of people were like, hold up, that's fishy, man. Maybe he like, what did he wanna, does he have access? Does he have access to the media access with the Ravens and stuff? Or was he getting threatened to lose his press pass or something? I don't know if he has one or not, but it was just weird. It was just weird.  You can't, you cannot just say anything. You cannot just ask any questions. Your honesty has to be held in check if you wanna keep your press pass. And it's true. But anyway, let's continue. He said, now it should be acknowledged that Mike Preston is, this is his words, not mine. I'm just reading. He said, now it should be acknowledged that Mike Preston is the requisite clown in the media here. In Baltimore, he's basically skipped bailouts without a mic or a camera. Nobody takes him seriously. Again, those are his words, they are not mine. They're from the article. I am not saying that. Cause I ain't calling nobody a clown, goofy, none of that. No, that's the article. Just need to make sure that's crystal clear. He said, so while the quote did raise a few eyebrows with some, it was largely ignored and written off into put that quote further to rest. Preston flip flop two weeks later like a $4 sandal from Sonsations. Okay, okay, let's keep going. Oh, so then he put in the quote from the newer quote from Mike Preston about Lamar. He says, Ravenstar quarterback Lamar Jackson has regularly attended prescribing, habilitation and treatment procedures for his engineer and is on target to return within the four to six week recovery window as far as team trainers and physicians are concerned according to a league source. The source wouldn't make a prediction about when Jackson was stepped back on the playing field but said the quarterback has been perfect in his attendance and compliant with all rehab practices as he recovers from a knee sprain he suffered in the first quarter against the Denver Broncos on December 4th. Yes, that was where he flip flop, he completely turned it around, did a 180 on his original article. But let's continue. He said, but guess what? It pains me to say it, but the dude had it right the first time. So this is where things take a turn with Barstool Banks is actually saying like, wait a minute, what Mike Preston originally said about Lamar Jackson and him missing the rehab treatments and stuff. He's saying that that is actually true. But let's continue. He said, in classic town, see again, this is from the article, this is not from me. He said in classic town, just a fashion, he took the bait from whatever league source reached out and set the record straight two weeks later. Now he put league source in quotations and set the record straight in quotations as well. Basically saying like somebody told him write this article, like fix this. Anyway, he said, I strongly believe Lamar was not going to the facility for regular treatment and rehab in the first few weeks after the injury. And I've been told second hand, that that is true. And then he said, cause you know how a lot of people would automatically think that, oh man, you got told that about who said that? And he said, okay, second hand, so what? Why should you or I believe that? He said, because I know for a fact he did not come in regularly for treatment and rehab last year, while Watkins was also on a team mind you, either. Among other behaviors and incidents in recent years that are generally unprofessional. That's from a firm, trusted, more direct source who's no longer with the organization that has never wronged me before. Marcus Peters trade, Marshall Yonder retirement, annual schedule releases, all stuff I put out into the universe first, relying primarily on this source, sometimes after cross-checking with others. So he's saying that Lamar Jackson from last year, and Mike Preston, I think he said the same thing too, about last year. And I think some of them on the radio on 105.7, they said the same thing, I forgot exactly who, but it said that it happened last year that Lamar had mistreatments last year. So now Barstool Banks are saying, yeah, it happened last year, but he also heard that it happened this year as well, that Lamar mistreatments. Now I've seen discourse on that because of course, that had been a rumor that had been going around about a month, yeah, about a month ago, about a month and change ago it started. And then it picked up some buzz a couple weeks after it initially dropped. I've heard some people be like, hey, look, that's not good. That's not good that Lamar Jackson would be missing his rehab treatments. Like how bad does he really wanna be out there if he's missing his rehab treatments? And yeah, that would be very questionable. Like it's like, if you're hurt and you missing the rehab treatments to get better, hey, what's up with that? Even though Lamar Jackson, he did show the video, he reposted it from Isaiah Likley's thing, that he was there. I know that was just one day, but hey, we don't know. But if it was true, then that wouldn't be good for his knee. Now, another thing on the flip side, what I've seen a lot of people say as well, they say, hey, that Ravens medical staff, they can't be trusted. They ain't no good. Then they bring up Derrick Wolf and his wife and all the receipts that they got from everything that they went through with the Ravens medical staff. And Derrick Wolf put it out there. He said, man, that Ravens medical team, they are El Terrible. That means like terrible in Spanish. So again, it's been just a lot of back and forth. But anyway, excuse me. He also said, among many who cover the team, these transgressions aren't exactly a well-kept secret. If there's a Ravens reporter or blogger you follow and trust, there's a good chance that they have heard and know about these things to some degree. Most would just be holding to a higher level of journalism and have team access that they simply cannot put at risk by talking about things that they can't thoroughly substantiate. I'm not in that boat. So that's what I was talking about earlier, what it seemed like with Mike Preston, when he sort of backtracked on his original statement. Maybe, I don't know if he got threatened or something, like, hey, you want access to this team? I, you better fix it. And you better fix it fast, buddy. So I don't know, I have no clue. Continuing, he said, so why have I kept my mouth shut? So with him saying that, he's insinuating that he's been knowing something for a little while. He said, because I love this team and there's been zero benefit to me singing. 2019 was the funnest year of football I've ever watched or at least until, you know, we all fell in love with Lamar, myself included, not just as a football player, but as a personality. He didn't just play football and play it well. He had a blast doing it and so did I. It was infectious. I championed this guy all over the internet. It was so fun and I wanted that to continue forever. I still do and have been holding out hope and a small part of me still thinks that can happen again. Me spilling the beans would have endangered that. So he's saying that he been holding on to this stuff for a minute. And he's saying that if he would have put it out there to the public, like he's doing now that it could have possibly messed up maybe the chances of Lamar Jackson staying with the Baltimore Ravens, I would think more. So it could mess up the public perception of one Lamar Jackson to a lot of people, but continuing. He said, but the past two years have been so exhausting and I'm sick and tired of holding up this facade that the relationship between the team and Lamar is rosy. It's not. And I think we all could see that, especially over this past year, especially how things have been going with this injury. It's like crystal clear that there's something going on and there's been something going on for a little while. Most of us that we've been sitting at the end of the bar we haven't quite been able to put our fingers on it, but you can just tell something is up. You can tell something's been up. So I think so many people have noticed that over time. Anyway, continuing, he said, their relationship may not be contentious, but there's absolutely a disconnect and a distrust. So no big trust. He said that the disconnect has been clear every time John Harbaugh had stepped up to the podium the past month and been clueless as to how to even speak on the situation. Yes, thank you. Even though we sitting all the way on the end, so many of us, we've all seen that. And again, me, I've been like, there's no way that Harbaugh doesn't know about what's going on with Lamar Jack. That's his quarterback. That's his quarterback Lamar going to the team doctors. How could Harbaugh not know? It would not make any sense whatsoever if Harbaugh didn't know. But then Barstool Bank said, hint, that's because John Harbaugh has been clueless and the distrust is evident in the fact that the front office hasn't given him the contract that I think most would agree that he has rightfully earned. It's been this way for a while and the fan base deserves to know the truth. The organization has done an incredible, I mean incredible job holding water for him, which is more than understandable. It's been in their best interest to do so, whether that's to protect him as Raven's long-term quarterback or protecting him as a potential trade asset. I think it will be the latter, but we'll see how this off-season goes. We're approaching the real crossroads here and I have no idea what's gonna happen and I'm not so sure they do either. Lamar has always held his stuff, still does clearly. We've got teammates begging for him to get out on the football field. It's totally possible that his knee is truly messed up and there's no way he could play on Sunday and it's totally possible. It's not and he's choosing to protect his knee and his payday. That's his prerogative and I can respect it, even if I don't like it. So, saying that, hey, this thing could be either way. Could be that his knee is just really tough or he just, he don't wanna risk it cause he ain't getting the biscuit. So we'll see. He said, but I do feel comfortable saying that everything would be better off if he had come to the facility for treatment and rehab the past two years or at least sooner in the comeback process. Whether or not sooner treatment would have changed his status and got him out on the field for these massively important games, we'll never know. But the appearance of him not having done his part to get back onto the field is a problem in itself and that's my takeaway from what Sammy Watkins had to say. So, again, Barstool banks just to sum all of that up. He's saying that Lamar and the Ravens, there's a disconnect. Again, that's something that we all can tell clear as day. But he's also saying that Lamar, apparently didn't, for a little bit, was not going to the treatment. So he doubled down on that saying, hey, Mike Preston, Mike Preston might have backtracked but he wasn't backtracking. So if that's the case, it would be unfortunate. It really would. Cause like I said, if you got a problem, then you gotta get that problem fixed. You want to get that problem fixed as soon as possible. So, and apparently like he said, there's the veterans, there's a veteran, at least one veteran that's on a team that's fed up, fed up with this whole thing, with this whole ordeal. My conclusion on this whole thing, I just don't think it's gonna end good. I really don't. I don't think this relationship is gonna end good. It just, and again, with all these articles and stuff that just been getting dropped over and over and over, it just feel like it'll be best for both parties to just go their separate ways. If it is true that there's a lack of trust, trust is one of the hardest things to build up and one of the easiest things to break down. One of the easiest things to break down. And it takes so long to build it up and you can lose it like that. It can be broken like that. And if you're going to be committing a large amount of money to a player, and if this player is asking you to commit a large amount of money to them, but if Lamar don't trust the Ravens, if the Ravens don't trust Lamar, and I just don't see it happening. I don't see it happening. And again, I haven't seen it happening for a while, even before we even looked at this article, even before soul Sammy Watkins thing, it's been this way for a while for me. Cause I just, I don't see it. And I didn't see it before when Lamar asked for whatever he asked for and Ravens didn't meet his demands, then after this season, I don't see them being like, all right, we'll meet the demands now. I just, I don't see it happening. So I think it'll be best, I mean, best relationship-wise if both parties move on. I don't think it would be best for the Ravens, but I just, cause it's just, it seems to always be something, man. It seems to always be something, it's always something going on. And it just, but they already showed, like even without, well, I don't know if this stuff, if this stuff is true, I don't know how long a lot of it's been going on, but the Ravens, they already showed, like we don't believe in Lamar Jackson. We're not committed to Lamar Jackson. We don't believe in him as our answer at the quarterback position. They've already shown that by the way that they've operated. They've already shown that. They've been, they've been told us, they've been telling us that for years. Look at what they put out there on the football field. They've been showing that for years. Look at the coaching staff, look at the personnel. Look at it, they've been showing it for years. And you see these players, like these other franchise quarterbacks, especially when it comes to getting the deals. Oh, that's taking care of, that gets taken care of quick. If they believe in that quarterback, they take care of that deal quick. Or if they believe in that quarterback, or they really want to make themselves believe in that quarterback, they surround that quarterback. We've seen it so many times, Ravens have told it. They don't believe in Lamar. But with all this extra stuff, with all this extra stuff, it just makes it more likely to me that the relationship is going to be severed this off season. My thinking is that it's going to come down to a tag and trade, a tag and trade. Where he goes, no clue, but I just don't see it happening. And from Lamar's end, if he not reporting to the medical to get his stuff checked from his end, is it that, hey, does he not trust the medical staff? Is there something going on there where it's like, I don't know about these guys. I don't know about them. Cause maybe, I don't know if he looked at Ronnie Stanley and he was like, oh, they clear Ronnie Stanley. Ronnie Stanley got clear to play last season. He played in one game and would look terrible in that Raiders game. Never played another snap again. Is it because Derek Wolfe? They were getting ready to let Derek Wolfe come back and play. He got designated to return from Endure Reserve and then never played again. Is it Nick Boyle? Is it Pat Ricard who came back last year too? And then he wasn't even fully healthy. I think he had knee problems as well. Is it, was it JK Dobbins from this year? JK Dobbins was clear to play. It's like, all right, he straight. And then, oh, well, nope. He gotta have a little cleanup surgery. Was it with Rashad Bateman last year or even this year? Especially this year. Rashad Bateman comes through, then he gets hurt. And it's like, oh, Rashad Bateman, he's in the walking booth. Oh, no, he's weak to weak. Day to day, Rashad Bateman, he'll be fine. Oh, well, then we hear a little bit later. Oh, Rashad Bateman elected to have season ending surgery. So you gotta look at this thing from both sides, from both sides. And I know it can be tough. It can be really tough because there can be people that's on one side or there can be people that's on the other side, but try to look at it from both sides. That's what we're trying to do right now. We're trying to look at this thing from both angles. So both sides, that's why I feel like with all this stuff on both opposite ends, just end it, man. Just end it. Just end it. As much as I would hate it, just end it. Because this whole, it's gonna be an ongoing thing. It's always gonna be something. It's always gonna be something. So I would say, let Lamar Jackson go fly. Let him go fly somewhere else. Let him go do his thing somewhere else. Because again, even before this article, they don't believe in him. You could tell by the offense, the personnel, the coaching staff, the players they put out, they don't believe in him like that. And I know some people, oh, what do you mean the Ravens don't believe in him? They traded back in the first round and picked them in with the 32nd pick. They were the only team that gave him an opportunity.  Like Lamar Jackson wouldn't have got picked up by somebody else. He certainly wouldn't have got picked up, but he got picked up by the Ravens. But while they gave him an opportunity, they didn't let him fully blossom. They didn't even try to let him fully blossom. Even after he showed you that he was ready to blossom. So, I mean, I would have trust issues too. And I told y'all about that already. Like if I was working a job or something, and I proved to that job like, hey, look, I'm capable. I can get this thing done. I'm ready for a raise. I'm ready to have better coworkers around me. So I could bring them along too, let's get it. But if the company looked at me like, no, we straight, you can stay where you at. We just, you hold it down there. We like it, but you stay where you at. It's frustrating because I've been there before personally. I've been there. So I get it. I ain't been there on no multi-million dollar deal. Well, I'm way more than multi-million dollar deal, but I ain't been there in that financial status. But with the situation, I get it. I get it. And it's like I said, I checked out. I checked out, I checked out for a long time too. And I was just waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting till I got out. So we'll see, man. We'll see how this thing turns out. We'll see how this thing goes. But team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And we'll just have to see what ends up happening next. We out.
