Live from the Mandalay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's theCUBE at IBM Insight 2014. Here are your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back, everyone. We're here live inside theCUBE at IBM Insight. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We go out to the events, extract the signal noise, we go wall-to-wall, covers what we do here, and of course, we're excited to have awesome guests. We talk to the executives and entrepreneurs, and we get media stars in here, like Katie Lundendahl, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you.  I can just tell it's going to be fun. Yeah, so it's been fun here the last few days. So, I mean, Watson is the geeky story. What are you seeing? Let me get to Watson in a second, but outside of Watson, what's the coolest thing you've seen? I'm constantly on the hunt for the latest innovations in technology, and I think that's probably the best part about my job. And always chasing down high-level stories, I recently just came back for a dive with NASA. I learned that NASA astronauts actually train underwater to simulate microgravity, and I'm like, oh my gosh, no way. And they're like, do you want to come down to the world's only marine underwater habitat? I was like, yes, please. So, went down to the Florida Keys, it's an hour off the coast, and was diving literally with NASA, European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, underwater, and again, it's the world's only underwater marine habitat, and seeing how they train in everything from asteroid mining to underwater surgery, to actually seeing how the body responds to exercise. I guess water simulates one-sixth of gravity, so it was a pretty dynamic shoot. I was doing that for NBC News, and it's just, those are the types of stories that I look for. Are you a diver? I am a diver, I actually was doing a story on big data last year, and it required me to get my dive certs, and the island of Bermuda feel very bad. It was a presentation that I was speaking on here at Insight. There was all this crowdsourced information about how the lionfish, if you've ever heard of the lionfish, has been, it's an invasion in the Atlantic Ocean. I took all of this information and metrics, and made a story for CNN, and it required me to get my advanced dive certs. So now I'm getting all these dive stories, because there's not a lot of us dive reporters, so the lionfish story for CNN too, another good example of a piece that I go after. So, you bring a lot of energy. What do you see here? I mean, you see a lot of stories, and you get pitch stories. I can imagine that your email box. In flux.  I have 78,000 unread emails right now. I'm not proud of that, but yes, constantly being pitched. 40,000, I'm a little bit blind. I'm going to CNN, so I'm going to give that to you. And then the Today Show, not too shabby. But what, you know, you get pitched all the time, and so you get to vet stories. What's your formula for vetting stories? I mean, what gets your attention in the little, and how do you go outside your comfort zone to select good stories? What gets your attention? It's funny, you know, so I've been in television for the last 10 years, and I feel like now I have this internal barometer and knowing when something's very good. And the scope of the things that I cover from, you know, in the past month alone, I was talking about the NASA piece, and then I'll flip to the next day and do top Halloween gadgets on Today Show. So it's very vast, but I can instantly tell, and it's come through experience in being in a background in technology, knowing what's going to work for the consumer, and knowing a hot product when I see it. And I've gotten pretty good, I think, at spotting a product that a consumer's going to love, but also finding a story that is, maybe it's super nerdy, but my job is to take it and to bring it down to a level that's entertaining for any kind of audience, whether it be CNN or whether it be Today. So it says you're a Guinness Book of World Record holder. Share that in little nugget with the folks, in what? That is a true story. I am a Guinness World Record holder in the most high fives in one minute. Okay, so this probably solicits some like, how the heck did that happen? I've always been fascinated with Guinness World Records, and I always wanted one, and I've always been obsessed with a high five. Like, I am paranoid of huggers. There's nothing that scares me more. This pump, high five? Just go for the five. Go for the five, okay. I don't want to bring it in. I don't, okay, it's a little OCD. I won't clump, completely aware. So anyways, I found that this Guinness World Record was held by a clown in England for the most high fives in one minute. So I convinced, I was hosting a show on Spike TV, and I convinced them to allow me to break this record. So we had all these people line up in the MTV cafeteria, and you have a Guinness World Record adjudicator come onsite, you get two tries.  We've seen it, we haven't had another queue before. We should do the most consecutive interviews today without having a drink of water. This has got to be a record, we could break something. We covered that show, they had the plaque, they had the adjudicator, like you said. It's intense. It's official, yeah. And you start to get like real nervous and like hot, and yeah, so I had two tries. And what kind of sneakers were you wearing? Oh, I was, I was, I'm a big athlete, like a big fitness person, so I was like ready. I'm going to, and if a clown beats me at this point, it's over.  And his name is still a vision, you'll never work again. Game over. So I beat it on the first try and then I advanced it on the second try. Single hand? There's a whole process, as you can imagine with the adjudicator, and she's like real intense. She's like counting with her clicker on the high five. So I go down this line of people, and it has to be over.  It's got to be over, like a high five. You got to go for the five, man. How many? And then I got a couple that were disqualified.  Is that like a film re-posed? Oh, really? Super slow motion. I like argued a few. I was like, no, I was for sure up on that one. I want to replay. Through the flag. I mean, it was sponsored by Purell. It wasn't, but it should have been. But it was fun. So I have a plaque. How many? 107. I've heard rumors that it's been broken, but I didn't care. As long as I got a plaque in that plane, at one point. No adjudication, not official, it's not a broken. Okay, let's talk about IBM because Watson is the coolest thing. Obviously it's pretty mainstream. It hits your wheelhouse. Obviously for them, they seem jeopardy. Absolutely, yes. How does that translate into a mainstream story for some of the stuff going on here? What do you say? So what's very cool about Watson, I call him my boyfriend because I've had a relationship with Nehim now over the last few years. A few years ago on CBS, I actually got to challenge Watson on a full game of Jeopardy. And I think that was of course the most, the most memorable part of Watson when he took on the two, you know, Jeopardy champions. But so this is like a lifetime moment for me. I got a full game of Jeopardy. Me, Watson and another individual smoked me. And actually I was doing okay. And then it was like tennis vocab. I was like, oh, I got this, you know, I've been in sports my whole life. I've been worked at ESPN for seven years. I got this in the bag. I was doing good.  I was like, all right, really, like, really, like I was just feeling good about myself. I finished with $2, two bucks. And I thought it was so cool how gimmicky it was, you know, and- Did he beat you in the tennis category? Oh, he smoked me in every category. On the low setting? For sure. I got a few, but it was the few I actually got. That's like me losing hockey. In tennis vocab, yeah. In tennis, you're going to have it.  Right. ESPN, right? It was embarrassing and disappointing. And then I weighed you too much and then the double jeopardy. Anyways, I digress. So how cool is it that I got to play Watson, but then now years later, seeing the power in it in many different developments. And most notably, I work over at, as a volunteer at Sloan Memorial Kettering Cancer Center, for a small group called Candlelighters. It works with individuals that come in from around the world for cancer treatments. Now Sloan is one of the most powerful cancer centers in the world is actually using it as predictive analysis. So here, and I work with these kids and it's very complex when they go in for a diagnosis. There's lots of different problems that they have. And really, it's guesswork for a doctor. Now they can put all of these things that are happening with a child into a machine and they can pump out a hypothesis.  But I've been fascinated, especially on the medical side. And you consider Watson your boyfriend at this point. I do. Okay, that's interesting. In the world of Facebook, it's complicated. I heard rumors that he's- Watson talks back and will listen too. It's a true statement. He's a lot smarter than I am. I'm intimidated by that, but- What's the coolest demo with Watson that you've seen? Besides Jeopardy. Any geeky ones? Well, I actually learned something new from a few developers that I met yesterday about the new Chef app. So being able to go into your pantry and to do some recipe from what you have, the ingredients you have inside there. I think that's a little more consumer friendly. So I was kind of like, I'm excited to check that one out. Okay, so look at the tech landscape. What are you most excited about? I mean, what's the coolest kind of consumer meats, like gadget and door, tech, cloud, if you could pull a few favorites out? What's getting your attention? One that we actually had here that's probably popped into mind. There's so many to choose from, but in the world of Oculus Rift. And the reason I say that is not for the gaming aspect, but more for the potential in the landscape of physical therapy. The first time I got on Oculus Rift, I was actually training on a Navy boat and I was doing a segment where all my cameramen were all around me. I lost track of reality. And I got so immersed into virtual reality and being there. And even as a huge diver, I get very motion sick. And I got motion sick on the boat, being in this physical, this augmented reality world. We were actually shooting this at the birthplace of Oculus Rift. So we were really diving behind the scenes into the actual software and hardware. And it was such a cool immersive experience that it realized that what this could do for physical therapy or even at the dentist at a lower end, I think the capabilities for augmented reality and taking yourself out of that moment are huge. So I think that's very exciting. How about drones? Oh my gosh. My nephew, I was visiting my nephew the other day and he said, you want to see the drone that I built? And I said, he's got this four or five quadcopter. It's a quadcopter. I said, would you get the software for it? He goes, I downloaded it. It's all open source. I hacked it a little bit. I actually have several drones. Tell me about the drone phenomenon because this just blew me away. I probably have what I consider as the best prosumer drone. It's a DJI Phantom 2. And I have got some incredible aerial footage over the mountains of Montana and also over Bermuda, the island of Bermuda. I send it up, put it over a shipwreck. Gorgeous. And for me, as of like being in photo and video and going out and getting my own video, not having to rely on a copter for, you know, that would be thousands of dollars worth of footage or relying on a cameraman. I just sent that baby up. I'm like, please don't hit anybody. It's a little hard to operate when you get one of the higher end models. I have a couple of the parrots too. They're a lot easier to operate. They do it right for my iPhone. But I am just like, I'm so into it. Now, I think it's a little gimmicky when we talk about Amazon and pizza deliveries and taco deliveries and beer deliveries with a drone. Skeets shooting for prizes as they say in Texas. Maybe, I don't know about that. But I think it's fascinating. I think it's a really cool technology. And again, I personally saved tens of thousands of dollars using my drone. When you flew over these sites, you were proximate, so you had visual contact. Yeah, so the Phantom drone that I have, that's my favorite one, I actually attached a GoPro to it. So I can send it up and I use the gyroscope to kind of move my GoPro around in midair. It goes hundreds of feet high.  I had it out in a field well before I took it out to an island on a beach. But yeah, it's cool. You got to know how to drive it. It's not something you just throw up there. It's not a remote control car. And did you build it? No, goodness. That's totally on the market. Yeah, I got it at B&H Photo.  And literally, they're flying out there, unregulated. I mean, it's like, someday there'll be drone collisions. It's like, this is unregulated. This is a huge, people are geeking out with the drones. It's super exciting, Dave. Camera shooting down, you can see them sending them into football venues or, you know, the World Series. Delivering packages to the Amazon. The modern day streaker. I mean, Amazon. Modern day streaker. I like that. Okay, so what else is new for you? Tell us more about some cool behind the scenes at today's show. Yeah. Any Saturday Night Live opportunities for you? I've been to Saturday Night Live. You should host a show sometime. Oh my gosh, by the way, that's like the hottest ticket in New York to get. I've had the opportunity to go to two shows because my friend's a cameraman over there. The rehearsal for it is like amazing. I know that's a huge digression, but talk about something to see in person. That's one of my bucket list items. Phenomenal. Yeah, phenomenal. What else is new in New York and the scene there? Oh, we constantly covering a lot of different pieces. One, I just came back from Africa a little bit ago. I was doing a number of pieces over there from an elephant orphanage to one of my favorite pieces that'll be rolling out soon. I did it for CNN.com and also working on a video piece of it. I went and embedded myself in the second poorest part of the entire world in the slums of Kibera, Kenya. And it was amazing to see that in these very poor areas, 70 to 80% cell penetration. A lot of people don't think that a smartphone would be prevalent, it sure is. And these kids, yeah, absolutely. And there's cell towers everywhere. These kids were, you know, they don't have much, but they have e-reader devices and they can have thousands of books when they're walking 10 miles to school. You walk into the school that doesn't have any electricity. It's 100 degrees, but they all have e-readers, kindles right on their desk. I was blown away. I went to several different schools around Eastern Kenya. Fascinating story to be able to cover. So that was world leader. That's a really good point in mobile penetration. I was talking to a startup that where their business plan is to build, sell, solar, battery recharging stations. As they should. Because they have exact points, like they have all these devices, but it's not, they don't have the traditional electricity and the internet. There was one outlet in the entire school. So fortunately for, you know, with Wi-Fi off, there's about a week charge on a Kindle. So it is, it's a problem. They need to have more solar power. I think they have a great market opportunity, certainly in emerging countries, mobile penetration. So what about the IBM show here? Is this your first time here? I have had luxury and the opportunity to be a part of several IBM events and everyone's so uniquely different. And this one all about developers, obviously. So something I get to nerd out and myself is an IT girl and also a developer. It's fun to be able to learn. I picked up so much new information. So I just kind of like, they're like, you're done with yourself. I'm going to hang out for a little bit longer. So you just take it as much as you can.  Yeah, totally, totally. Dave and I are the same way. We should stop broken. No, let's keep going.  Oh my gosh, CES every year, for sure. And for anyone that hasn't been a CES, it's kind of on the bucket list. For anybody that's into technology, 35 football fields full of gadgets. Amazing, yeah. It's always one of my biggest times of the year. So we'll be back here in a couple more months. Now, do you enjoy CES or is it a hard slog for you?  I mean, a lot of stuff to cover. And I try to make it to the most random boosts. I find some of my best technology products are like the maw and paw type shops that don't have the million dollar booth and like, you know, that are really back in a corner and I'm like, ooh, zero in. So I cover some ground. Do you go into cover, by the way? Do you go into cover? You kind of sneak in there and you go into camera, guys. No, I go for it. You go for it, okay. I'm on full time. Okay, all right, guys. For sure. That's awesome. Well, thanks for coming on theCUBE. We really appreciate it. Thank you, it was fun. We love the personality, I love the energy.  Oh yeah, big sports girl. Big fans, in fact, we call this the ESPN of tech because it's our kind of version of like, trying to be like ESPN. I like it. But we think technology's going mainstream. People, this new generation, are geeks. And even to you allude to ESPN, even sports and technology, I can't tell you how many pieces I've covered with pro athletes and how tech is entering in that space. Everywhere, disruption in the data, the social media, you know, limiting of agents to go direct to the audience. Just super exciting. I mean, I'm a real big fan of media tech, sports and thanks for coming on theCUBE. Thank you. We'll be right back after this short break here inside theCUBE, live in Las Vegas. I'm John and Dave, we'll be right back.


The anchor-hawking-glass cooperation brings you crime photographer Applebird, how did you ever get that name? I don't know. There was some argument just before my christening So they picked Applebird right out of a hat. No, my aunt was reading some novels. She found that name in it Well, that's a good enough name. Well, they might have given you a more famous name Did I hear somebody started start what start to talk about famous names? Oh, well, what's your idea of a famous? That's easy Casey everyone knows anchor-hawking the most famous name in glass Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Marvin every week at this time the anchor-hawking glass Cooperation of Lancaster, Ohio and it's more than 10,000 employees bring you another adventure of Casey crime Photographer ace camera man who covers the crime news of a great city our adventure for tonight Fog late afternoon the blue-note cafe and Ethelbert the head bartender completes preparations For the crowd of cocktail sippers that will soon come drifting in Walter bring up some more lemons. Yeah. Oh, hello, Casey. Hi, I've heard hi. I just come in off a job. Yeah Where's miss Williams at the office you'll be here in a few minutes. Oh, this has been one of those dull monotonous days I'm getting pep today. Oh, I kind of feel that way when I show My sister Edna says I ought to take vitamins Oh, hello, Miss Williams. Oh, Casey. Wait. Are you here? What's just happened?  What are you all pepped up about it? Oh, I just received an anonymous letter anonymous letter Who from oh one of them without any name sign to it. Yes Who from he said what's exciting about that it contains a tip a news tip and it sounds like a big one here Take a look. Well, what's it say read it to him Casey, but keep it under your hat Ethelburn You know me miss William is typewritten on plane stationary read it Dear miss Williams An important news story may break at the Pellhaven estate of Willis J. Baldwin tomorrow as your society editor will know a ball is to be held there late in the evening at which Mrs. Baldwin will wear her famous diamond necklace if you want an exclusive front page story arrive around 6 p.m. And Say nothing to the police the ball wins or anybody about this letter We ain't nobody which the writer who must be anonymous urges you to destroy Well, isn't that something something all right, but what he see it's a tip that somebody's going to try to steal those diamonds That's the way it sounds to me to show this to city desk Annie Yeah, right after I read it Berks assigned us to follow it up. Well, we cover together I've read about Mrs. Baldwin's diamond necklace Casey. It's said to be worth over a million bucks. Yeah Casey, who do you suppose sent this letter? Why should I know what I'm wondering about Annie is why was it sent to you? This kind of a tip is seldom sent to a gal reporter. I never had one just like it before We're to be at the ball wins 50 room suburban cottage at 6 tomorrow night How are we gonna crash into their place at dinner time? Look, I'll tell you what? I'll phone Mrs. Baldwin and give her a yarn of some kind. You know, well, I've taken pictures ever You know news pictures. Have you ever met the ball wins or anybody who's intimate with the many? Oh, I've interviewed the Count de la Faire Who's the Count de la Faire one of those ornamental slickers with a foreign title Who gets around the high cost of living by being a perpetual house guest of the oh so rich and idle I think he's staying with the ball wins now Yeah, well, let's jade Baldwin supposed to be a tough shrewd guy. He's not the type of puts up with lounge lizards Well count Raymond de la Faire maybe Mrs. Baldwin's special friend. Oh, yeah Well, look, I'll go over the phone booth put in a call for Mrs. Baldwin Annie see if I can make us a date Very much Mrs. Baldwin. Yeah, we'll be there at 6. Bye Did you get her case?

We'll see pal Any I still can't figure out though. Why that letter was sent to you Can't you drive just a little faster Casey? It's after six I can't help it Annie. I can't help it. I can't see if I try to do any speeding through this fog We might wind up in a hospital Must be close to the water here that fog horn. Yeah That's the one on McBernie's point. Oh Why didn't we check the weather reports and find out we'd run into a pea soup fog and then we could have started earlier and Stop worrying Annie. We're at the edge of the Baldwin estate right now. Oh that high wall Yeah, it completely surrounds the place Some years ago an attempt was made to kidnap Willis Baldwin and a couple of guys are taking potshots at him So now he goes in for walls and armed guards who took shots at him Oh some guys he busted on the stock market. He plays rough down there even under the SEC Hey Casey, there's an armored car coming out that gate. Yeah, that's right I must have just delivered the diamonds. Do we go in that gate? Yep after we stop and give the keeper our names There he is Good evening, sir Good evening. I'm Casey morning express. This is miss Williams. This is my press card. Thank you Okay, go ahead. Thank you Oh Obviously is one of the armed guys. Oh, yeah, it doesn't a war on the place not counting big Tim Blake Baldwin's personal bodyguard This doesn't seem to me like a good place to try any robberies Wish I could see something of the grounds, but the fogs are thick and black Really slick croak may have done something you wish we had done any check weather warnings You mean this fog it'd be a great help in getting away. Oh, here's the house It's a regular castle. Yeah, and there's another guy Good evening. This williams and mr. Casey. Yes, sir. I just got word from the gate man May I take care of your car? Thanks. Come on, honey. The butler will announce you. He's coming now. I see Casey I know that butler. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure I do, but I can't remember where he is You're the people from the morning express. Yeah Follow me, please. His voice is familiar to Casey and he gave me a funny look, you should know Demi is that mr. Casey? Yes, mrs. Baldwin Very nice of you to let us barge in on you this early mrs. Baldwin at all This of course is miss Williams the reporter. You said you'd bring with you. Yes. How do you do mrs. Baldwin? Nice to know you my dear. Coming to the library. We have something there that will interest both of you Close the door Fleming and keep out that awful fog. Yes, mrs. Baldwin He's a new butler. Not very experienced. I have to remind him of everything. I've seen him somewhere What do we just see in your library mrs. Baldwin? The necklace you want to photograph. It was brought here from the bank only a few minutes ago My husband and a guest are standing guard over it. It's all together magnificent, mr. Baldwin It should be what I paid for it count. Oh, Helen. Mr. Williams, may I present my husband? How do you do miss Williams mr. Baldwin and Cantil affair. I Believe this little newspaper lady and I have met before It's nice of you to remember they count in a pair and this is mr. Casey. Oh, yeah, Casey privilege. No, no you mrs. Mr. Baldwin can't and my wife tells me you want to take some Pictures of a necklace Casey. It's over there on the table. I was just showing it to De La Faire In case you'd like to stick in your pocket big Tim there won't let you willers don't a man knows I'm only kidding sure mr. Bohn. How are you Tim? Hello Casey? Oh, you two know each other Oh, yeah Since long before Tim went into the bodyguard business I get a days when I was a cop boss you give Casey an okay, Tim He's okay.  Baldwin it is nice Isn't it mr. Baldwin tells me and this necklace is the greatest number of perfectly matched first water diamonds Set in any single example of the jewelers out miss Willie And it is worth the amount is staggering any man could live High-wide and handsome for a lifetime on what this necklace is worth De La Faire So I imagined but he'd have to steal it or steal my wife whom I gave it to and either of those things can be done While I'm around I'm sure it would be quite impossible quite impossible. I Would you like to take your pictures now mr. Casey? Yes, mr. Baldwin. Thank you I'm surprised there aren't detectives from your insurance company here to watch this necklace They're usually around these diamonds are not insured what not insured except for a few days each year They're kept in the bank vault and when mrs. Baldwin wears them as she will tonight my own employees like Tim here Keep them well protected. I never take my eyes off them boys.   I told him to bring in cocked Why did you take so long flaming? All right, you're here at last bring that liquor wagon over here There's one picture So have the cocktails flaming. Yes, mr. Baldwin. I don't like to drink in half darkness Why have you got all the shades drawn Helen? Well, you know, I always draw them when there's fog Willis It's so dreary to look outside and then let's have something besides just a few table lamps on in here Turn on the main lights flaming. Yes, mr. Baldwin. I'd like to see the people I'm talking What's that? What have you done to the lights? I told you to turn more on flaming not to switch them all off I haven't touched the switch that I hadn't reached it. Now. It's so dark. I'll get some lights on in here Tim yeah, I found a switch And now that we can see again What mr. Baldwin the diamonds? They are gone Tim I was standing right here beside him boys, but I couldn't see I know who took him Now I know who that butler is Casey. He's the notorious jewel thief Chris Masters.   He switched off those Nobody switched off any lights. Look at the cord on this table lamp here It's been cut in two. Yeah interesting, isn't it? Now I know why you got that anonymous letter. I mean what the fog seems to be lifting a little Let's go outside and join the manhunt Casey will you tell me what you mean when we get outside and the fog the fog that's lifting You know you hear a lot about modern industrial design with its twin ideals of beauty and usefulness But nowhere is this better exemplified than in the creation of a new kind of dinnerware called jadeite and it's spelled J. A. D. E. I T E Jadeite is really beautiful. It has the color of fine jade and the texture of rare porcelain But jadeite is also unbelievably strong. It resists chipping and cracking and is so heat-proof You can safely put it in a hot oven and with all these advantages Jadeite actually costs less than the most ordinary uninspired dinnerware. For instance a big jadeite platter costs only 25 cents in open stock and a 35-piece dinner service for six people is priced at less than five dollars Ask for jadeite at your favorite chain store Department store hardware store or at other stores selling Chinaware and glass a set of jadeite makes an attractive gift And it's an easy way to replenish your own supply of dinnerware Jadeite is the newest triumph of anchor hocking The most famous name in glass I think Chris Masters will be fairly hard to find Casey I want to know why you think he didn't take those diamonds Okay, Annie It's because he had no chance to take person who sent you that anonymous letter sort of that the person that letter bothered me It just wasn't right We got here I recognized Masters under his butler suit and his dyed hair and phony English accent a few minutes after I saw it You did your idea. Yes, and I was sure he recognized me and you He wouldn't take a chance on lifting those diamonds with us in the house Go on someone who was in that library a few minutes ago You before tonight That Fleming the butler was really masters the jewel thief and they figured correctly. I imagine that he was planning to steal a Baldwin necklace That someone decided to get it first to let Masters take the blame But this someone didn't want to be the person who pointed the finger at Masters that wouldn't look secret So you were brought out here to make the accusation The article I wrote on Masters after my interview with him several years ago was featured under my byline That's right by Anne William and that meant that I'd be sure to recognize Masters He said nobody switched off those lights and that's right. The fuse was blown the fuse. Yeah The cord on that table lamp Annie had been cut with a scissors or knife causing a short circuit When the lights went out Masters was the one person in the room Well, I'm sure wasn't near the cord because he's the one person I was watching It's that cut lamp cord that makes me certain somebody besides Masters was after the diamonds Well, if the lights were short circuited, how could Mrs. Baldwin turn them on well She switched on the main lights and the wall and the ceiling brackets. They're on a different circuit apparently Why did Chris Masters do a run-out the moment I told who he was that seems to prove Well, it only proves that whoever sent you that letter did another smart piece of think of me And he didn't you were didn't you mention your story on Masters that as a jewel thief He lost his head kind of when things got hot and he always did a run-out And if I hadn't accused Masters and he hadn't run Mr. Baldwin would have called the police and everyone in the room would have been searched Now the thief has had a chance to get the diamonds off his person and into some hiding place Well, then the someone who planned all this is either count the love fur or whatever his name is Big Tim Blake or mr. Or Mrs. Baldwin. Well the Baldwin's wouldn't steal their own diamonds Wait a minute Annie people have been known to stage phony thefts of their own property Well sure to collect insurance, but mr. Baldwin said the necklace wasn't insured. Yeah, that's right What do you think about countable affair well a million bucks where the sparklers might be very attractive to a guy like him Baldwin seemed a little jealous. I caught that And you know the bodyguard Tim Blake, sir. Well, I don't know Tim Blake Well enough to eliminate him as a suspect. He said he'd been a cop. Why did he leave the force? For the good of the service the commissioner figured Tim was too willing to use a gun He shot up a couple of guys that maybe shouldn't have been shot up Well be no way of finding out who really got the diamonds if he or she hasn't already hidden them Oh, he or she hasn't hidden the man Well a minute ago you you said I said the thief has had the chance, but he didn't take it You see the person who got those diamonds, and it wasn't the person who planned on getting oh What are you talking about Annie when the would-be thief reached for that necklace in the dark? He or she got a great big surprise It wasn't there. It wasn't there. Well, how do you know because I'd reached first you Yeah, meet raffles Casey the million dollar bandit. Oh, what have you done with the necklace in my pocket in your pocket Oh Casey and everybody but you and me including the would-be thief is sure that it's in Chris master's pocket. Oh, and he It won't surprise me if the smart would-be thief does something very foolish very soon See pretty well now Casey all our suspects seem to be looking for masters individually during the past 15 minutes We've seen the count big Tim and Baldwin each of them alone. We haven't seen Mrs. Baldwin. I mean she's alone, too Okay, so you're taking an awful chance with those diamonds in your pocket if they were found on you No one would think the worst all right wouldn't they yeah, but Annie This is the first time I've ever had a million bucks worth of anything in my pocket. That kind of makes me feel Funny I don't feel any different than when I was honest and Over there Tim's voice There he is beside those trees right there. You got masters Tim.  Hey boss. Where's mr. Masters is lying behind those evergreens. Let's have a look. Hey, you shocked masters Tim. Yes, mr. Baldwin I heard a movement amongst those trees and then I saw a moving figure kept on moving after I told it to stop So I blazed away shooting what has happened him here. Just shot our thief count that butler Did you search this guy before you started shooting Tim a chance if I have to search him Casey I just want to search Tim take a look at your ex butler mr. Baldwin See his clothes old dog. Yeah all his pockets that aren't torn inside out or ripped open Well, I didn't search him you didn't shoot him either Tim. I didn't shoot oh I can't find any bullet holes in him. I see none this guy was strangled to death Oh, did it maybe the moving figure you saw was the someone who did it Tim You fired at it from a distance and then found this fella lying here and concluded your bullets had shot him Yeah, that must have been what happened. Who did kill that man count the la fair I have a kind of a half idea. You have Casey. Yes, mr. Baldwin I have more than a half idea I just found something near master's body that what you find for let us see I found something that tells me the strangler was you Break it up Baldwin you got him down now break it up All right, but don't let that fella get away Tim. I won't force Here's what I found beside master's hand Casey this black coat button Then I saw there was a button missing from de la fair's dinner jacket Look this button I found matches the others on his coat lie That button you pulled from my coat now when you take me A jury won't see it that way when you're tried for master's murder this man is mad take it easy count take it easy Why should de la fair be tried for murder mr. Baldwin because he killed masters This dead guy was a fugitive suspected of stealing your wife's necklace If Tim had shot him as we thought at first you wouldn't have called Tim a murderer if I had choked that thief I would be a fool to deny it and I'm not a fool But I was never near the man deny it because of the search you made of master's clothes You wanted the diamonds. He stole search me somebody. I have no diamonds You've had time to hide him someplace take him to the police Wait a minute. You're butting into this too much. I don't think so mr. Baldwin On the evidence of that button you're formally accusing count de la fair of killing this thief christmasters in order to hijack the stolen diamonds Oh now it's chris masters, huh? When miss williams recognized your phony butler tonight she mentioned his real name only once and very rapidly You knew who your butler really was before tonight That's crazy. You can't prove that maybe I can Tim was a good shot When he fired at the moving finger, he didn't miss completely. He put a hole through your coat sleeve Oh, yeah, look here right here. Let me go Tim and now casey. Hold everything Tim to do.  All right.   You killed a man You've tried to frame the counts When a guy like that can't be brought to book in one way sometimes he can in another Tim As an ex cop Wouldn't you say your boss was guilty? If you found the stolen necklace on him. Yeah It's your duty to see if he has it Tim. All right. I'll hold him again.  He's giving me quite a battle here He's afraid to have you search him. This will cost me my job. It's your duty. Okay. I'll do it, but Casey the diamond there you are. You did find it on him Tim. Oh, okay This is a frame up a frame up. Tell that to the cops Baldwin You and the count take care of him Tim. Come on poor when I'm working for the law again I will help you take good care of him Tim after what he tried to do to free Well, Annie let's go along I'm gonna get some pictures now. Casey you slipped that necklace in his pocket while you were struggling with him Yes, just like he pulled a button off of Delafaire's coat You know Annie when you can't trap a crook in any other way One good frame deserves another We'll join the crowd at the blue note in just a moment Will you please give me your attention for one minute?

What's up guys, so hopefully in this video you'll be learning how to stop procrastinating. I think it's a huge issue right now. Most people tend to procrastinate, whether that is trying to mow the lawn, write an article, go to the gym, walk, read a little bit more, whatever it may be, but it's a big disease right now and hopefully in this video you'll learn how to overcome that. So how I'm going to be focusing on teaching you how to overcome procrastination is focusing on three simple steps. Step one is understanding what you're procrastinating over with and breaking that down. Step two is controlling your environment, so for example the room that you work in or you read in, and step three is certain tactics, so like apps that you use, chunking time, etc. So moving along, step one. For the sake of this video I'm going to be using blogging as an example, so most people procrastinate or writing in general, most people procrastinate over writing. So step one is understanding what you're procrastinating over. Most people, when they view a problem, they view the problem as a whole. For example, I need to write a 2000 word essay and then you're analyzing it and then you get the symptom, you know, paralysis by analysis. It's too much for you to digest that whole 2000 word blog or essay one shot. So what you need to do with any problem that you're procrastinating or solution that you're procrastinating over with is you need to break it apart. Gary Keller talks about it in his book, the one thing is like once you break apart a problem into its simplest form, that's when you can actually begin tackling the problem. So for example, in our case we want to write a 2000 word blog and for most it's too much. So what you need to do is instead of viewing this as a 2000 word blog, I think you need to view this as three separate pieces of a blog. So any given written article, you know there's what? There's an intro, right? There's the body and then there's the conclusion, right, or outro. So those are three significant separate pieces of a 2000 word blog. So we can even break this down into further segments. So within the intro, let's break down what each paragraph. Let's say for the sake of this video, there's two paragraphs or two to three paragraphs per section. Let's break down the intro into two to three paragraphs so we know what's going to be about. So if we go down over here, you guys can see that, yeah. Intro, what's the intro going to be? Maybe the first paragraph is you're talking about the item and the second paragraph is you're talking about more in details of the item. I'm not sure, I'm just taking the conversation, right? So now you've broken this down and you want to go through every single section breaking down what each paragraph is. So now what you have is you have two to three sections broken down into the category of your blog on every single section of your blog. So this will move on into part two or step two because now you've distilled the problem into actually actual steps. Well, not steps yet, but now you can plug these things or plug these action steps into your plan. So, step two. So for step two, we know we have our intro and we know we have two to three sections of the intro planned out. We know we have that for the body and we know we have that for the conclusion, right? Conclusion, all of them two to three. Now in step two, what's really important is your environment. You've got to understand how your body is wired and how your body functions. Everybody's different. You know, for example, with me, I like working in a quiet space. I don't like noise. I'll put earplugs on. I'll use certain tools of the trade and I like to have maybe some, I don't know, ginger tea or turmeric tea, sometimes coffee. It depends what kind of mood I'm in. But I know my environment. Most people, they try to go against the grain or upstream and it's impossible. Like if you have noisy co-workers around you or if your family is bugging you, that's never going to fly. As Joseph Campbell talks about that and, you know, following your bliss is, what is your quiet space? What is that space you can go to that no one bugs you for two, three hours? That's your sanctuary that you can get work done in there. So it's really important that you control your environment.  Maybe when you're working at a co-working space or you're working in your office, find an empty office or find something in that building that no one can bother you. It's of utmost importance that you control the environment that you're in with. There's certain cool studies too showing that scent, scent plays a role in paying attention and concentration, also flowers and pictures. So play around with transforming your environment to become the trigger so you can concentrate better. So step two is that, okay? Step three. Now we have the blog broken down into sections and within those sections we have more action steps. Now you have a place that you can get your work done, your sanctuary, that room that no one can bug you in. Now step three is combining everything together into a well-formulated plan. Now these are a couple of things I want to talk about over here. I want to talk about chunking. Chunking, I want to talk about distractions. I want to talk about don't break the chain. Don't break the chain, okay? So the first thing is chunking. Your brain doesn't like to deviate from task to task, meaning it doesn't like to go from email to calling somebody to writing a blog. It likes to stay on one task because you have something called, well I call it ADD residual, meaning when you move from an item to item or task to task there is a residual of that task into the next task. And science has proven it. It takes 20 minutes for an individual to get into a certain task. So imagine if you're breaking this up constantly, you actually never get into the flow, into the rhythm of things, okay? So it's really, really important that you chunk something. So what I mean by chunking, let's bring it back to the blog, is in your calendar or your time slot, you want to chunk, I usually chunk in three-hour sections. So three hours you block off what you want to do, then within those three hours, the only thing that you're focusing on is that one thing. So for example, we had the intro with two to three paragraphs and we had the details of what each paragraph is within the actual chunking. What I'm doing is this, A, I don't have any distraction, my phone is off. If you need to use a computer for writing, I recommend using certain apps such as anti-social. Also rescue time, so rescue time actually shows you how much time you're spending on social media, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all other different websites, and kind of gives you a general idea of how much time you're actually wasting on a day-to-day basis. But pretty much what you want to do is you want to make sure that you're not goofing off and going on doing something else. It's really imperative that you get into the flow, you have that safe, your sanctuary that no one can bug you in, and you get to work right there. So chunking is really important. I'm a big believer in a three-hour chunk. So three-hour chunk, and within the three hours I take breaks every hour, I move around for a couple of minutes and I go back to work, okay? So let's recap this. And I didn't want to make this video long, kind of keep it under 15 minutes as much as possible. Number one is really understanding what you're dealing with, the problem, why you're procrastinating over with, and breaking it down as much as you can. Break it down at the most finite detail as possible because that small first action step is very easy to do. And what Jerry Seinfeld talks about and don't break the chain is you can literally do one small thing day after day in your chunking period to accomplish this. And how Jerry Seinfeld does it and don't break the chain is like, if he misses a day, the chain is broken, then you have to start all over again, okay? Stephen Pressfield, amazing author, he talks about procrastination becomes habits. If you keep on procrastinating whatever you're procrastinating over with, it'll become a very, very bad habit. And we know what habits are very hard to break. So if you have this habit of procrastinating over and over and over again, it's like you're digging yourself a grave and it's gonna be really, really hard to get out of the hole. So to recap everything one more time, step one, break everything apart into very minute tasks to do on a day-to-day basis. Step two is controlling your environment, control the rooms that you're trying to get to work done in. And step three is use appropriate tactics, such as chunking, make sure there's no distractions, use apps like Anti-Social to block all your social media, put your phone off and make sure no one's bothering you. So I'll leave you with some resources, two books I think you should read. Book one is The One Thing by Gary Keller. And book two is by David Allen. The infamous Get Stuff Done.

I wanna know what's your thoughts on procrastination and also what other future videos would you like me to do? Peace.


You know, May 40 here. It's inspired by my three-month holiday down under hiking all around Sydney. I need to get out here and start hiking in Los Angeles. I think this is only my second time at Will Rogers National Park here, Pacific Palisades, looking out at the Pacific Ocean. I've been in Los Angeles for 29 years, and I've been here twice and it's such a lovely bus ride too. Taking the bus in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Bel Air, very different experience than taking like the subway.  Wow, so I rode the Los Angeles subway for the first time. Nine days ago and some pretty rough, scary, crazy types. Not a pleasant experience at all. Now, a commuter bus from, say, West LA to downtown thugs there aren't too many stops. That's pretty good. All right, you get the rapid bus. All right, that's pretty good. But boy, take a lot of stops down towards downtown Los Angeles, south-central Los Angeles. Some other dicey, crazy criminaly inclined anti-social characters. But riding the bus West LA, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades. Perfectly pleasant experience just like taking the bus in Australia, the eastern suburbs of Sydney. Very nice experience. Right now we're in big city of Los Angeles and I just finished season four of Babylon, Berlin. Wow. Almost ready to buy the novel. That's a great show. I hear it's one of those rare TV shows or movies. It's better than the book. Babylon, Berlin's got it all. It's got Jews. It's got degeneracy. It's got Nazis. It's got German efficiency and German corruption. Everything. Babylon, Berlin. So the first three seasons are already on Netflix. Very much worth a watch. Just incredible acting. Just incredibly compelling from beat to beat. It's not bad being the middle of the big city of Los Angeles, right? You've got this fantastic national park. Perfectly pleasant bus ride to and from. Now you drive a car, a $12 parking fee, but take the bus. No worries, mate. The type of people you meet here. Very, very nice. Just the best. Hikers are the best people out there, folks. They bring their goodness with them on the hike. Hiking brings out their best. It encourages the best. It develops the best. It's like you're on a golf course. Please and thank you. How are you? Have a nice day and smiles and just good men is all around. You don't need a lot of super predators out here. Now, there are some mountain lions. Say you encounter a mountain lion out here. I saw the sign. The important thing is like raise your hand above your head and make some noise. Frighten them away. Got all mountain lions. We love our mountain lions in LA, don't we, folks? We've got the best mountain lions here. And they've got to be really quick and agile to get across the freeways. So you live in LA, you've got you've got snow an hour away. You've got the beach 10 minutes away. You've got the Santa Monica Mountains here. And we would have had snow up here a week ago. We had snow down to a thousand feet. We had snow flurries at the Hollywood sign. And this is just like dipping into the mikveh of nature. It's just very renewing, refreshing, reinvigorating, revivifying, reconstituting. It's all here. Nice to get away from computer screens. From the sturm and stress of doing a live stream. Just to enjoy a leisurely recorded video. With a high quality DGI gimbal too. With its external microphone. And this feels like Australia. So. Babylon Berlin. The protagonist, the good guy. Gideon, the detective. He's also quite a flawed character. Develops drug addiction.  And there are some tabloid journalists, some communists, some Nazis, betrayal, children living on the streets. You got psychoanalysis, medication, administering of speed, administering of other drugs. Oh, and the zeppelin. Damn, the zeppelin is amazing. So this character gets a phone call from Berlin. On Friday night, God forbid. Gets a phone call, realizes he needs to go to Berlin. He books a zeppelin. He flies on the zeppelin from New York to Berlin. I mean, that's amazing. I've got to research that. Like, how long would that take? And I mean, the facilities are top class. I mean, much better facilities than we have when you fly economy now. I mean, when you're flying on the flying on the zeppelin airship, that's really flying. So just imagine jumping on a zeppelin in 1930, New York, taking the zeppelin to Berlin. Got to watch some more videos and do some more reading on life on the zeppelin.  And yeah, there was a major disaster. What was it about 1938 in New Jersey? Or was it the Hindenburg exploded? But one of my fantasies is just to be floating on a balloon over the ocean. Getting into a zeppelin. How do you beat the winds? Like when you're flying to Australia, you're flying against the wind. Do they take zeppelins from Europe to Australia in the 1930s? I got to know. I guess if you're going with the wind, you know, air travel by zeppelin is possible. But I just don't see those little motors you have to successfully navigate against the wind. But they had really posh headquarters flying on a zeppelin airship. Sounds tops, mate. A lot of new technology going on in Babylon, Berlin. So there's this one guy who's convinced that he's going to fly to the moon. He's going to be the first man to land on the moon. And so under post-World War One regulations, right, Germany's only allowed very limited armed forces, but they're allowed a civilian experimentation to create an aircraft spacecraft. But they can just rejigger the spacecraft instead of hitting the moon. They can just reprogram it to hit Paris, London or New York instead. And so the Germans invented the first ICBM, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. And then we've got their top scientists after World War Two and they led America's space program. But to see the beginning of this innovation that's portrayed in season four of Babylon, Berlin, it's pretty cool. German technology, German engineering. If you want to see Jewish engineering, then look at what happened to Russia and Nagasaki.


Hey everybody welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to be taking a first look at a Linux distribution called NetRunner. Now I will be the first to admit to you that I've never heard of this distribution before so what we're going to do first is actually go find out what the hell this is. So if we go to the beloved distrawatch.com and note the sarcasm there because I know a lot of people hate distrawatch but it's a good resource. We'll see that NetRunner is a Linux distribution based on Debian Stable out of Germany. Its main desktop is KDPlasma. It's actually kind of rare these days to have a distribution that only has one you know desktop environment. Usually there's a few of them. It's distrawatch has the label for beginners. So it says NetRunner is a Debian based distribution featuring a highly customized KDE desktop with extra applications, multimedia codecs, flash and java plugins probably not flash anymore I'm just saying and a unique look and feel. The modifications are designed to enhance the user friendliness of the desktop environment while still preserving the freedom to tweak. A separate rolling edition based on Manjaro Linux was launched in 2014 was discontinued, relaunched in 2017 and discontinued in 2019. Those people need to make up their minds. Wow that's an interesting roller coaster. Launch in 2014, discontinued, relaunched in 2017 and then discontinued in 2019. It's a shame because I would have loved to have seen a rolling release on based on Manjaro. I believe I have one a first look at a distro based on Manjaro later on. I can't remember. It's on the list I think. But anyways let's go ahead and look at their website just for a minute. So very well designed website just off the bat. You can always tell when the developers know what they're doing because they can at least put together a website. I'm looking at you Linux Mint. Your website is terrible. So apparently they have some stuff here for the Pine book which would mean that they can run on ARM which is interesting. All right enough of this. Let's take a look at it shall we? Let's jump over to virtual box here. Now I have a virtual machine all ready and ready to go so we can just go ahead and hit start and go ahead and see if we can make this full screen. All right we'll see how long this takes to start up. Start up time is not impressive but we'll have to keep in mind that this is a virtual machine so it might be a little quicker on hardware. Interesting choice of red icon. Also really weird that it took so long to load the desktop. Well the icon or the cursor seemed to have loaded right quick. Okay so this is just KDE. They're using the application dashboard by default which is cool. We'll take a look at all that stuff here momentarily. Let's just go ahead and get us an install going. So as is basically usual these days unless you're running something like Fedora or OpenSUSA or I guess Ubuntu you're going to see the Calamari's installer. I think that's pretty much become the default for most Linux distributions. So American English next and New York is fine and let's see here default keyboard is fine. You're going to erase the disk. No option here for swap it just automatically says you're going to get a swap whether you like it or not. Interesting that is the first I've seen that in a long time almost universally now especially with the Calamari's installer it gives you an option. There's no option here it gives you a swap. Interesting okay let's create ourselves a user name and password here and also very oddly almost always there is an option here to enter a separate root password. There's not that option in this so they've taken that away. That's an interesting decision so let's go ahead and install and see how long this takes. 654. Okay I'm back. It took about four minutes so that's not too bad especially on a virtual machine where you're constrained by processors and stuff like that. So as is usually you'll want to make sure you hit the restart checkbox here and then hit done. Now normally this is where you'll want to remove the install medium.  So close settings storage and remove okay. All right now let's start again and we can make this full screen again. All right let's look at load times here not bad at all. This looks this is probably SDDM I would guess fairly well designed so let's type in our password here. You can always tell like I said before you can always tell how good a distribution is especially a KDE distribution on how long it takes between the login screen and the actual desktop loading. This was very quick so that's very impressive. This is the second Debian distribution or base distribution that I've tried with KDE. The last one was MX Linux that had very impressive launch times. So let's take a look at what we get. So first of all not a welcome app here in anywhere to be found. Now they do have a readme up here that takes you to a web page and that gives you some tips and some stuff here I guess but even that's pretty limited that's like maybe 500 words maybe a thousand words of support for whatever. So definitely not something that you'd want to hand off to a brand new Linux user because there's no welcome app here. So again we have the application dashboard so we can just go through these this will actually make it easier for you to see because it's actually bigger it'll actually be a bit bigger. I can't talk so we have a app image launcher which is interesting so they're going to focus on app images instead of snap probably we have ARC which is a archive an archiver audacious burger space I'm guessing that's like is that a game. Yeah it's a game. Okay I've never heard of it before. All right of course it's a game it was in the games application games category. Let's see here cheese which is going to be the like the selfie camera thing that is like a rip off of what macOS used to have. Chess Discover which is the software center dolphin a firefox and this is the extended support release for a firefox which means that it's not the latest version so you gotta remember that this is debbie and stable so that they're going to be focusing very much on stability as much as possible frozen bubble is going to be another game. I believe GL Tron is also going to be another game. G Music Browser is not a music application I've ever heard of but it looks like it's developed in QT so I'm sure that's probably pretty good. Let's see Grubcustomizer which is nice to have installed one view for previewing images. Handbrake is pre-installed hook tube I believe it's like a YouTube client. No it's a lightweight YouTube so it's like a cover for YouTube so you don't get all the tracker and stuff probably not saying I'm very interested in trying that out. Let's see what's next we'll go back down here so we have Info Center which is just the standard KD Info Center we'll look at that here in a second. Inkscape, Kate, K Breakout was another game, K Calc, K Marble another game I believe KD Partition Manager, Kate and Live is installed by default which is interesting Majong, Mines, Consul, Krita, K Snake Duel which is another game, Casus Guard, Covantum is pre-installed K Wallet Manager so those are all the KD applications. LibreOffice is here, Ocular is here, the open desktop.org is pre-installed so you can go through and install themes directly from store.kde.com. Let's see here Pigeon Internet which is a chat client, Pulse Audio, Q Transmission is a BitTorrent client, Skype is pre-installed for some reason, two versions of Skype is pre-installed for some reason. Very interesting Steam is here by automatically Spectacles, a screenshot tool, Suza Studio I think that's going to be for like burning CDs, Synaptic Package Manager is here, Telegram and Thunderbird, Update Manager, VocalScreen, I think VocalScreen is like a screenshot recorder. WhatsApp is pre-installed, I'm guessing that's going to be a web application, a VNC server, Yorak is going to be another, this is going to be for like videos I believe, oh no this is another one, this is one for music and stuff too, okay interesting. Alright so first impressions on the application section is very very minimal but with some weird selection so Skype and WhatsApp are interesting things to have pre-installed because not everybody needs them. Also KDN Live is a very heavy application to have pre-installed so interesting selections there. So what I'm going to do actually here is reboot so that I can get a fresh idea of how much memory the system uses. Okay we're back at the login screen, again the reboot time was very impressive, I'm typing the wrong password, I forgot that I don't use my regular password. Okay so if we open up the terminal here which is going to be console and we zoom in a bit and we do free dash M, we'll try this again, we're seeing that it's using about 638 megs of RAM which is not bad especially 4k to e-install and if we do we'll see that this is using the kernel 5.9 which is interesting. Now you can correct me in the comments below if I'm wrong but doesn't Debian Stable use the latest LTS or at least NLTS because 5.9 was not an LTS release, 5.4 was the last LTS release. I might be wrong about that but I'm pretty sure that 5.4 than 5.10 with the latest LTS releases that this is using 5.9 so that's interesting because this is Debian Stable, this is based on Debian Stable so let's see if NeoFetch is installed, nope, sudo apt install NeoFetch, see how long this takes, not very long, clear NeoFetch. So let's see, let's make this a little bit bigger so again kernel 5.9 which is again very interesting. I just installed MX Linux on a laptop yesterday and I was surprised there too that there are a ton of packages involved when you're installing Debian. 2662 packages is an enormous number of packages, Arch Linux and Arch-based distros usually have around 1200 out of the box. Now even Arch Linux, so if you use Arch Linux you know you get a ton of extra stuff in Arch Linux, you have three desktop environments or window managers, XFCE, Openbox and i3 they're all installed all the dependencies that go along with them and they had 1300 out of the box. This has double that, that's very especially giving the fact that there's hardly any applications installed that I mean that so which you're seeing there is twofold first of all KDE has a ton of dependencies I mean just an absolute little ton of dependencies second of all apparently Debian has a ton of stuff that they install as well in the background. All right so let's see here so we've taken a look at memory and the kernel I will say this that responsiveness is very very impressive especially for a virtual machine let's take a look at the settings and see what we're using for themes here so plasma tweaks we wanted to look at the info center and see where we're at in terms of so we're using KDE plasma version 5.14 which is as you would expect pretty far behind that's why that kernel is so weird they're using a much newer kernel than I expected to be I expected to be 5.4 like every other just Debian stable that I've been using uh so you're running if you're running a stable version Debian or something based on it you're going to find that the KDE version is behind so let's see here they're using something called netrunner indigo so let's look at netrunner black that's going to be like a dark theme that's kind of yucky why is that blue weird let's look at the desktop version that's going to be blue that's the raised minus blue that's their color okay let's look and see if they have any alternatives here installed they do application launch launcher application menu and simple menus are pre-installed except for the simple menu does not actually work and you can't actually change it after that error comes up interesting fascinating okay well that's broken just interesting now now I don't remember in KDE plasma 5.14 that plasma tweaks was all in one place I thought it was all out here you know in the main settings area but I could be remembering that wrong things seems to be grouped together better at least in this version I'm going to go to bleed restart because I like breeze much better yeah that's so much better all right so that's netrunner very very brief first look I just remind you that I don't do gaming in these first looks because this is a virtual machine and doing a game doing gaming in a virtual machine is just not a good idea you only get 128 megabytes of video RAM for a reason it's not meant for running grant that thought of five so that is netrunner overall thoughts I enjoy distributions that are based on Debian instead of just basing themselves on Ubuntu the question I have about this one is does it provide enough of a reason to exist over like MX Linux because MX has a wonderful KDE version and it's much more popular so I will say that this is very fast and it's very minimal it does have some weird application choices sometimes like to like correct me if I'm wrong but I did not see a video player in there which is interesting that last one that we opened might have been a video player like a combined like library or something but there's no sign of I mean I had all these other weird choices but there was no VLC or either even MPV or something like that so because it had like three music players and audacious it had let me look at the I can't open up a menu now because that is completely broken all right anyways I guess it doesn't matter all right so if you like this video give it a thumbs up if you didn't give it a thumbs down you can support the channel by subscribing and hitting the notification icon bell thing and you can also support us by going to patreon at patreon.com slash the next cast I just posted a blog post there about some of the new things that are coming to tier two and tier three patrons in mid-march or so and I would like to thank our patrons now and that's right patrons within s thank you to Devon C and Marcus B for being our patrons we really do appreciate the support and I really wanted to make the joke of now that I have two patrons I've doubled the number so it sounded funnier in my head anyway thanks for watching I'll see you next time
