Welcome to office hours.
We're gonna be here for the next sort of half hour to hour,
answering questions about Resonate.
Drop the questions in the thread that's linked.
If you put them anywhere else, I'm not going to see them, and I'm not gonna read them.
All right, let's go ahead and get started.
Um,
thank you for making the, uh, reaction key. Um, exo.
Let's take a look. Uh,
Easton says what happened?
I just got here dogs on my lap, and they wanted to put my their tongue down my throat.
It's something that regularly happens. You know, a dog wants to put tongue.
He says it doesn't belong.
There we go.
Uh, Easton says, why didn't you make the thread like normal?
I was about to, And then an exer made it. So I just use
XOs.
Uh,
comic waffle says, Are there plans for proper rigid body support? Yes, there are.
If someone can pick up the get
up issue and drop it in, I would appreciate that
moving forwards, uh, Easter
says in the future will be able to host her own relays. Most likely not.
So the reason is the, um, personal data goes through it and, uh,
that just it breaks data privacy.
Uh, so to provide an example.
Let's say, um, we're gonna pick on you Eastern Seeing as you ask the question,
let's say Easter that you are a nefarious,
malicious user and you are running a relay on a Linux box in your apartment
or dwelling.
Um, you could.
Theoretically, it's very can be very difficult to do this,
but it's theoretically possible.
You could theoretically write code into your own custom relay
to, um,
intercept any communication through that relay and print it to the screen.
So a good example of that would be you'd be able to get, like slot names,
stuff like that.
You wouldn't be able to get, like context messages like text or voice,
but you'll be able to get anything that happens in a session.
So, uh, you probably also get the voice data as well, so you'd have to configure it.
It would take a lot of time.
Obviously, you don't have access to the relay, so you can't start doing this,
but like I could do it and it would probably take about a week.
I could make it so that the relay would stream voice data to
like a radio station.
It'd be like anyone on the session all at once would then come out your speaker.
Because I'd just take, like, the raw voice and go through. So, like, no,
not probably not happening.
It might be able to happen if we get sort of like end end encryption on the on the relay,
um, channels.
But that would probably be off LNL.
Like we we don't want to be on an NLLOLL and L for, like, the entire future.
There'll probably be some other best networking library we were
looking into sort of E net or E something,
Um, for example, to look at something like another transport.
Or maybe we'll use steam sockets. I don't know. Like it
LNL probably won't be the ultimate future of our our transit, though. Uh,
James 566 says, Are we getting a desktop sensor? Three slider for high DP I players?
Yep. It's in settings. Go ahead and just change it in the settings.
Easy peasy.
Um,
next is from specs. Do you have plans for covering?
Uh, basic usage of the Dev Tool and Proto
Flux Tool?
Uh,
It's really difficult for me to do, like proto
flux tutorials, because I would put too much effort into them.
And I know how much work is left to do
on the proto
flux front.
So, like any tutorial that covers say, for example,
the node visuals or the node browser is gonna be out of date at some point, right,
We're gonna We're gonna change up those things such
that they look better and in in that thing,
my tutorial will then be out of date,
um, is something I basically you're going to get over and and do so like,
yeah, maybe,
um,
we'll see, though,
uh, soccer says, Will there be cake? No, there's never any cake.
Uh, comic waffle says.
Are you planning to add any more tools to the essential order, or,
uh or what's there now Or
that will be, um,
I would hope that we keep it to all that's
there because the the the the folder is called like,
essential tools,
and they need to be essential tools.
There are hundreds of tools, thousands of tools that do various things,
but we can't put them all in there.
We have to put the essentials in there. So all the tools are in.
There are tools which are built into, uh, resin itself in code.
Um, there are a couple of tools in there that are built using broader
flu,
et cetera. But, like,
I don't imagine that there'd be many that would be more like,
suitable to go in there beyond the ones that we already have.
The ones that are in there are the ones that allow you to sort of do everything,
uh, tools that are made with those tools.
Probably not, because they're not essential.
Uh, socket goes. How is progress on going on? Action item
one of the performance improvement plans. Uh,
well,
you can read the announcement about that. That's our latest update.
And that was posted
on Friday? No. On Saturday. So, Yeah, that's the latest update.
It's only like two days old. You can read that.
Lots of information there.
Let's take a look next. Uh,
Ken says, do you not encrypt data protection against men in the middle of text? Uh,
could it just pass on that one? Because I'm not entirely sure exactly what we use.
Something is going on there. I just I don't want to speak out wrongly against it.
Um, but
even with, like, amazing, like encryption, If it's not like end to end,
then you could still,
if you were running your own relay somehow open it
up right there would still be a a risk there.
Uh, cosmic says there's currently an index of first match flux node,
but are there plans to add an index of second match or MTH match?
Um, that would probably we need to wait for collections.
When you get collections in,
uh, you'll be able to do, like, get all matches and output array and stuff like that.
And then
you wouldn't do that.
There are lots of nodes that, like we won't write right now, because basically,
they're, um, clutches for collections.
Some of them are even suggested by users who maybe don't
have experience with other programming languages that do have collections.
And so they're just like
I need this very specific node to access the element in a in a list. It's like nope,
sorry. Nope,
that comes with collections.
Um,
Ozy says, a question that is very hypothetical,
but one that a friend brought up to me that I don't really know how to answer.
Something changed in the whole VR space where
Resonate suddenly became a few 1000 users overnight.
With the strings that follow. How would the team react?
Is there any plans for a sudden, consistent player jump?
Would it disrupt any of their development plans?
Um,
I think like our servers could handle it.
Uh, we haven't, like, tested or or done any load testing, but, like,
I'm sure we could probably handle it or or take a
look at it if you remember during the initial like rush.
When? When reson night launched, there was a little bit of server issues.
So we kind of scale things up a little bit there.
Uh, I'm confident that the servers could take it.
Um, I'm confident that the community could take it.
We have enough, um, mentors, et cetera, to handle.
Uh, we probably need to up, uh, moderators.
But I think moderation are actually working
on upping an opening moderation application soon.
Um,
and then if that turn into more money and
I say if that turned into more money because like
even if we had thousands of users,
if we don't have more money with those thousands of users, we still can't pay anyone,
uh, would probably try and sort of up, uh, staff on our end.
We are, like
starving for engineering right now, and it's it's very interesting issue.
We just need, like, more technical people.
Uh, we need more people across the board, but, like, we need more technical people,
um,
to sort of just help with with some of the other matters,
like there's a bunch of bugs that would take,
um uh, a less experienced engineer
the same amount of time as me.
Um, but I have to spread my time out between those bugs and and larger items
such as keeping the lights on or trying to train my dog to not bark at the window.
Have you got any suggestions about trying to train a dog not to bark at the window?
Do let me know. I've tried everything.
The curtains are currently closed so they can't even see out the window.
I put boxes in front of the window sill so that they
can't climb behind the curtains and walk along the window sill.
Um, we got the AC on cos it's, you know, getting towards summer now,
and that kind of drowns out the sound a little bit.
We got the TV on that's playing,
you know, the usual Google TV
photo reel. Because that sort of helps them out a little bit.
Um,
yeah,
they're just like Buck. There's a car and I'm like you. I know that you like dog.
You don't know distance, but like, the car is like
three floors below us and on a road
and
like,
there's no way that, like, you can physically get to each other.
So, like, even if it was a lion or something,
threatening you dog like there's nothing, there's literally nothing you can do
and the car doesn't care.
Uh, socket says, why is there a never any cake? Uh, cos the cake is a lie.
You know what I mean?
Uh, if the, uh, Easton says, if the flux node visuals ever get updated,
will the size of the new visuals be equal to the size there now?
Um,
possibly I don't imagine that would make them smaller for any sort of reason.
Do you remember?
There is the overview mode where, um, it shrinks down like the, uh,
the the details on the node.
Um, if you don't need to take a look at it
so that will, um
that will help. Um,
you should more think of it like a a visual thing. For example, like the
the, uh, wires they might need Updating the no visuals themselves.
Absolutely do need updating.
Um, in various ways, et cetera.
Uh, chali
says, how do you preserve the tool,
order and resonant essentials folder when updating only one tool, for example,
I don't think we do.
We haven't had to update those. Mostly, um,
and that's because we learned a lot from our previous essential tools,
Um, and the previous Essential Tools folder.
Periodically,
the Dev Tool would move to the end of the Essentials
tool folder because someone would find something wrong with it.
But we've learned a lot since then.
Uh, moon base.
I want to make a thing that plays a sound when you hit an object or other area,
and only when you hit it with a certain velocity.
What's the calculation for this?
Uh,
it's interesting because you can't usually like you
can get the in a collision right now.
You can get the slot
that
uh, collided with it.
But like, the velocity would be like, difficult,
particularly if it's like a character like,
is it a character collider or is it a trigger?
So a character collider would stop momentum
and therefore like, it would be weird.
Um, but if it's just a trigger that you're running through, like,
just get the velocity of the slot that hit it.
So you like, you do, um, on contact start.
Uh, actually,
probably best to do.
Stay cos then you know that they've gone through it or try, stay or start.
No, don't use. Stay. Sorry. Start or or Or or end.
Um, the other property coming out of that node, um, is a collider,
but you can use the get slot node on it to get the slot that the collide is on.
Uh, and then you can check if that's a user by another node,
and then you can get at their velocity. The dog is watching me intently.
So the dog's learning proto
flux. So if anyone says that they're too silly or too
too dumb to learn proto
flux, the dog is sat here learning proto
flux. They're watching my every move
it might be because I'm there, You know,
I'm their owner, and I feed them that they're watching me intently.
But I'm just gonna pretend that they're learning Proto
flux.
Uh,
kan
Cool says, could you put it in resident and essentials?
Yeah, We'll probably have, like, another for,
uh, folder for, like,
other tools,
Like, I don't know. Like what we'd call it.
But I do. I do. I don't wanna, like, make the essential tools thing like
too bloated,
Uh, because we also had that problem before, right? Because we had, um,
lots of other stuff in there.
All right, let's move down.
Uh, cosmic said, Do you know they have made an absolutely amazing game.
Thank you for that. Yes. Uh, we work very, very hard on it.
Literally, very, very hard.
Uh, I woke up at like, I don't know, like, one or something.
I haven't stopped since, so I know that's only two hours so far.
But, like, hey, I'm when we go in all night.
Um,
I keep having, like, 4 a.m. meetings as well.
I've got an excuse.
Uh, kestrel says on the para
flux front.
I noticed a lot of community members
have created some really cool tutorials already,
especially Rusty's new video.
Have you considered working with community members to create
tutorial content and post it on the resonate Channel?
Um, that's more a question for sort of, uh,
media or marketing area about or content team.
For about, um, official tutorials,
Uh, so maybe bring that to the content team office hours,
which is tomorrow at the same time.
Mine was,
uh, James says will give support ever be added, uh, an important fast, probably.
At some point, I don't know how we'd do it, though
there's not a get up issue for that one. There should be,
uh, Spec said, Did the survey performance versus IK with
an interesting lessons on gathering feedback from the community?
Has it informed future locations where the email asked for similar insights?
Um, I don't remember exactly why.
Um, I was just unavailable during the survey's, uh, creation.
They I had issues with a couple of the way that things were worded, uh,
a couple of responses, et cetera.
Nothing that made the survey invalid or wrong or problematic or poor or bad,
just like
I think with, like a little bit more time on it because we did it quite quickly.
We made it.
Uh, we could have got much more information from you guys.
And I don't want to give you guys survey fatigue as well. Where?
I'm just like guys, there's another one here.
Um, but
but there you go.
Uh, so the data that came out I wasn't surprised at,
like at all me Let me open it so I
can just talk a little bit more authoritarian sounding.
Go and load the graphs.
Uh, yeah, it it it didn't surprise me
like it's like
a third play it regularly. A third sort of play it frequent semi frequently,
and then a third. Just take a look at it. Those numbers aren't a third.
Exactly, but they're all around sort of 30% which is basically a third. So, you know,
stuff like that, it was like, Hm. Uh,
Castro
says what are the current plans for? Web content Requires authentication.
I would love to build a virtual home for my theatre for my jelly
fin server, but API use would require authentication. Is there something res
I will ever have?
I guess it also indicates any way to do Web views without being a safety nightmare.
Um, we got a feature on our road map called hard permissions, which may enable, um,
authentication to be easier to do.
So,
uh, but,
uh, until then, probably not like right now.
Like, if you had, like, a API key or a token or something like that
in some proto
flux, Uh, it would,
um,
expose it to the rest of the session. And then it wouldn't be a token.
It would just be a a shared secret, which isn't very good for a server like that.
Uh, but hard permissions might help you out there.
Uh, fizzy rabbit says, can facet configurations be saved between sessions?
Yes.
Um, there are some facets or ways of putting facets into your, um,
Dash. Or now the avatar anchors where
it might not realise that you have, uh, edited something
or that you need to save your facet configuration
if that occurs.
What I do is I usually take one of the the regular facets like the you know,
the stock ones, and I just move it around a little bit until I see that sinking.
You know, the sink bar till I see that start moving.
And that means that the the facet configuration has saved
there's a way to do that more
easily.
Um, with a node, I think we have, like, notify modified or something like that.
And, uh, someone could just make a facet button. That is just like save.
And it would do that
with that. I believe we're at the end of questions, so, uh,
cool. See? Yep.
I knew that someone would have made a save Dashboard button.
All right. Dog wants to get off my lap. Do you want to help? Do you want me to help you?
Yeah. OK,
there you go.
There's not
Oh,
I guess I just hadn't scrolled. Lex. Leave me alone.
I hadn't scrolled.
I'm only halfway through my first, like mug of coffee today as well,
cos I had a late day.
I did have that 4 a.m. meeting, though, so I have an excuse, right?
It was a work. It was a resident meeting. F.
Stop barking.
Uh,
K
said another question.
Have you considered opening up funding options on open source platforms such as
li uh, Libra pay?
I like donating to the patreon,
but would prefer funding you guys on a platform that
doesn't have a large amount of third party stipulations?
Um,
interesting.
I haven't heard of that.
If you've got, like, a list of them,
I know that these liberal pay but if you've got other ones,
uh, make me a little list, I post it in here. I don't mind if it's not a question.
Um, and I'll add them to a list because we are looking into a, uh,
alternative payment providers.
And I'm not saying like,
this was certain, but like,
we can take a look at Liberal Bay and see if it fits our needs.
I don't know if it were without looking at it,
and there's probably some tiny thing in there that makes it unsuitable,
because that's the way it always works.
But, um, have a list, and I'll take a look. Uh, Easton says
get rid of the window or dry well over it. Yeah, well, I, I kind of did that right.
So I rotated my couch. So my couch is against my window,
which is a like a decision which, like everyone, like,
disagrees with when they come visit.
They're like, but you've blocked the big window.
You get no natural light and I'm just like huh?
Do you think I got natural light before the couch was in front of the window?
I did not.
There's, like, no point.
Um, and Eason says, like, just dry a wall over the window like, yeah, like,
there's no real reason for it to be there.
Uh, I do use the actual window part that opens as my AC vent, but that's it. Really,
Uh, for the benefit of the recording, I'm gonna go ahead and read out Castro's, uh,
statement.
Um, also, I know this is not a question, but to say something,
I really appreciate the way re
handled community. In the last few weeks, I've been, uh, getting into it.
This is the most responsive engage,
enthusiastic Dev team I've ever seen on the platform.
And it feels really exciting to be gauging feel like
part of the process of this platform being a thing.
I appreciate everything you do,
and I'm excited for what the future revin I ends up being
Yes,
thank you so much for your feedback.
If you have anything you don't like that we're
doing also tell us provided you're polite about it,
I'll I'll listen.
Um, Feather sat on my TV remote and this tuned it to what looks to be
C SI of some kind.
You wanna watch C? SI?
Sorry, you can't watch C SI right now. It's C SI Miami.
I'm I'm not making this up. I'm gonna take a photo.
Just so you guys, it's C SI Miami.
All right, let me turn off the TV and I'll put the remote on my desk for the moment.
You just like, jumped on the couch,
sat on the remote and C SI Miami appeared Beautiful dog.
It's C, SI Miami.
My place is a mess. I don't over index on that that much.
That's what happens when you spend every waking moment on reson night. Yay!
Um,
Premium says I've been playing for about a
week now and having issues creating an avatar.
Do you have any good tutorial links?
Uh, I don't have them to hand, but I'm sure some other people will link, uh,
ones that you might be able to take a look at,
uh, cosmic
centres. Are there any features that were lost in the transfer
that you want
to rele Uh, no,
not really.
Only thing we lost was like a bunch of bugs and, um,
currency
moving swiftly along
um Draconis says
not That's a bad idea. But I'm just curious.
On the officially hosted session,
what's their intended purpose is and what some sort of perms one has when they join.
I haven't joined one yet.
Uh, depending on which one,
you'll have permissions or not.
I think the grids have permissions and the non
grids don't because we wanted some social spaces.
Uh, we just want space that,
like people are OK being in and have
no responsibility for that we have responsibility for
So if you host your own session, you're responsible for it. And sometimes that can be
a little bit stressful. Um,
especially like say, you wanna, like, go to bed or or stop playing reson. I
and some people are having, like, a really good time on your in your hosted session.
You will interrupt that by making them change worlds. Uh,
so it's important to to figure out a way behind that.
Lots of people do that with headless, right?
They set up their own headless, and then they just go there.
And then if they want to go to bed, they can just leave.
And the headless is there and doesn't shut down.
But again, that's like you gotta set up the server bla bla bla bla.
So now if you just, like, need a place to Dev, that isn't gonna go away.
You can jump into the reso grid.
Uh, Charlie says, will there be cheese in the re
essentials? We might put like a meme folder in reson essentials eventually.
Um, but like,
I wanna make sure, like, people know when something's a joke or not.
Um so I wouldn't just put like memes scattered. It would have to be like focused.
Uh, let's take a look.
Cosmic says any intention to add the ability to
change US permission levels automatically with components or flux?
Uh, yes, but would need hard permissions for that.
Um, otherwise, it would be very easy to hack,
Eason says. Who took over your microphone for a second?
That is the C SI Miami guy from the front cover.
You know, the one that does the sunglasses thing.
He was on this like there's a picture. Just take a look at the picture
uh, luck says, is it possible for us to get access to the raw?
An anonymized survey data.
The pie charts show raw totals.
But don't really go into more depth, especially consider there is strata involved.
Uh, probably not.
Um, cos I'd have to check if we'd be breaking any privacy laws by giving you that data.
So it's easier just to say no.
Um, if
you're curious on any specific questions, let me know,
and I can just fish out of the data.
Uh, kan
says Germany plans to make measured tools.
Sweet, uh, and if not, do you think it's possible to make the current state of prou?
Uh, you can make it, and we plan to make it
moving forward. Skipping over a bunch of junk.
Uh, cosmic
says, do you plan to continue doing surveys for major development focuses?
Was this one special thing? Um,
I'm not sure if it will always occur because,
uh, I, I don't know.
The the reason might occur this time is because, uh, earlier on in the year,
we announced that IK would be next
and we wanted to
think as a team about changing that to be performance
But we didn't
want anyone to feel left out of that decision or to be mad about it.
And we want to just double check. Hey, what does the what does the community want?
Um,
and so the effectively the process of the survey has
resulted in us being able to achieve our goal,
which is
not Do I can next?
Um, but we didn't really want to, like,
decide that without asking you guys.
So if that situation happens again, yes.
Uh, actor says non resonant question. Any tips for moving to a new apartment?
Let's save that one till the end, right?
And then people can live leave if they don't want to hear it.
Uh, constant says,
Are you probably a prime number or are you just probably in your prime?
Uh, I literally don't know. This was an Xbox randomised game tag.
You see, this is why I don't take photos of my
Aaron cos someone zooms in and they're just like, look,
a sock that you haven't tidied up bla,
but like, at least the microwave is is isn't like that.
Uh,
It says as rich night grows,
will there be more demand for more wiki writers a way to set up an API, uh,
for the wiki to be used in game.
Uh,
there's always going to be more need for documentation writing of of various types.
That was actually originally why I was brought onto the team many years ago.
Um, since then I do most things.
But like, you know, I I'm quite partial to documentation and writing. But
there will be a point where the team grows too big
and my responsibilities grow too big and we might hire some documentation writers.
That'll be a long way down the line, though. Not this year or probably next year.
Maybe 2026. Who knows?
We're starting to do like forecasting for like, uh, financials and stuff like that.
And it means like the corporate lingo is starting to grow. And it's just like
I had to, like, go into like, the cupboard of my brain
and like, find corporate lingo,
pick up the box and start dusting it off and unpack it and be like,
Yeah, let's look at that for Q two next year,
which basically means, like, can we stop talking about this, please,
and move on to the next topic.
That's what that really means.
Uh, Kan
says on this question.
What about transferring hosting with permission on both parties to someone else?
Yeah, That's also something that we think we have in our
hub.
Feder,
Feder
Give me a second. I'm gonna mute
Come.
All right, You're back on my lap now.
No barking, no barking.
No, no, no, don't. No licking either. No, don't put your tongue in my nose.
Um, yes. So
Ken's
question there is a get up issue about that. I believe so.
Just if someone can link that, we'll move on.
Uh, James 566 says,
will res not ever be a pay to play game will always remain free to play.
We want the base product to always remain free. Um,
fruit.
You know, leader of our company
dictator. No, that fru is really good.
Um
has, like, a really big thing about, like, the base product being free,
Um, and also, like,
accessible to everyone, right?
I, I go beyond that and I'm basically like it. It, like
knowledge should be free. So that's why the wiki is like, you know, all that
someone could right now and it would be a really easy way to make some money.
If you do this, I will immediately recreate it as free.
Could do a paid course on one of those paid course websites, et cetera,
where it's like you can pay one payment of $250 and gain access to, like 11
prox lessons on this like platform where you have to pay 250 bucks and I'll be like,
OK, cool, I'll do 11 Pros
tutors Free knowledge is free.
Um, Eason says, if a public now mentoring or like, uh, what's the word like, uh,
tutoring, that's different.
They should pay for that. You should pay for time, not knowledge.
So if if someone wants to do that, fine, go for it. Be like
you get an hour of my time for this price,
and I will help you whatever way you want to be helped with.
Absolutely fine by me.
But you could just go into a public session and ask a mentor. So, you know,
um,
Easton says a public folder is added to re essentials.
Is it granted the same level of safety as the Template Facets folder? I don't know.
Uh, Nels
on says it annoys me that my monitor is 21 9 and the menu in U I in DR is 43.
Will there be a fix for this
if you put it on github?
Absolutely.
I. I could just tell you what microwave is.
In fact, I'm going to because I've got a rent. You've got incoming rent there.
You see in that picture that you've got coconut
in the middle there where the the logo in the top middle is That logo is like a plate.
It's like a plastic plate that is press fit into a hole in the back of the microwave.
But it's the whirlpool logo and it's in like a really like swirly font and stuff.
And so, like, dust and gunk gets in like that logo, and it's gross,
like I have to get like, an old toothbrush and scrub it sometimes.
Cos the mic remember the microwaves Also the extractor fan.
So the ju just like the whole area just gets, like, goopy sometimes,
uh, cosmic. What determines which words are not being featured?
I believe there is a thread for that. If someone can link it That'd be great.
If not, I'll I'll I'll take care of it in a moment.
Um,
China says it.
Is it possible to create a system that controls the
range of voices users in the session without ref hacking?
Yes, actually, um,
I don't know how they're doing it, but there's, like,
the various culling systems that have got voice stuff in them.
So just take a look at those,
uh, host transferring. Yep. There we go. Eastern posted it. Uh, cosmic
says,
Are there plans to add the ability to more
dynamically affect how voice it sounds or radiate?
Um, yes.
So we were looking into changing audio libraries,
and we still are looking into changing into, uh, audio libraries.
And there was one that we were looking at a long, long time ago that
would have enabled stuff like that like a a collusion, muffling stuff like that.
Uh, it didn't have a licence. It was just freely available to download.
So I emailed the guy asking him what licence?
It was under and emailed me back, saying, I don't care. Just use it.
I'm not going to licence it.
And then I emailed back, and I said legally, we can't.
And then they didn't respond,
So that was cool.
Uh, I think steam audio has a library that we were looking into.
Uh, James 566 says, Well, we're not ever released on Android I OS,
if that's even possible
when we're on quest like stand-alone quest successfully
and performantly wise and able to be there and nice et cetera. At
that point,
we can start looking into mobile phones.
Um, until then, no, because, like, it's like, I see it like as a as a journey because,
like, basically a quest is just a powerful mobile phone
that's strapped to your head.
Um, So once we're on one powerful mobile phone, we can look into other,
slightly less powerful
mobile phones, et cetera.
Uh, that is
close to the right microwave. I need to look at the buttons on the front.
They don't have a close up of the buttons. They do have a close up of the buttons. OK,
not the exact model. Sorry. Next.
Also not the exact model.
My buttons look different. They're not round.
I think I have a photo of my microwave,
so I'm gonna just grab that whilst I'm answering questions.
Give me a second.
Um, OK, next question. Next question. Cosmic.
Have you ever considered adding the option to transfer host status to so
we just talked about that?
Um, that is host transferring.
Um, I'll link again for your seeing as Eastern dropped up for some reason.
The number 104, is there?
Uh,
yes. Um,
Whip has got the correct microwave wrong logo, though. My logo's an older one.
actually, not the crack microwave.
You see that middle button that says turntable on off? That isn't there?
No. The handle mell.
Anyway, I
ask more questions.
I'm gonna scroll through my Google photos and find a picture of the microwave.
It's mostly pictures of my dog, though, so it's going to take a while.
It's like 90% pictures of dog.
Oh, here's where I did some, uh, tourism. That's that's that. Ok,
all right. Now we're back to dog.
Dog, dog dog. More dog,
Additional dog, Creepy painting,
dog.
More dog.
Yeah. Hi. Actual dog. How you doing?
All right. I'll check for questions of
I'm in. Uh, where am I?
I'm in
January of this year.
Uh,
Aaron's looks closer, but
I think Erin's exact. Yeah, I think that's exact.
Yeah, that's exact.
Just the light and fan button. Yep.
No turntable button
moving forwards trying to like, uh,
is there any reason resonate
does it allow steam VR controller emulation?
Or is it just a case of it not being implemented? I don't understand what that is.
Uh, make it up issue.
Oh, yeah. So, uh, for anyone who doesn't know what the air is, um,
basically, uh, Twitter
X sorry.
In its infinite wisdom have prevented you from seeing, um,
the likes that someone has done so you can see how many likes you've got,
but not who liked it.
So if I like your tweet,
um, post whatever X calls it,
um, you can't see that I liked it, but you can see that one person has liked it.
Uh, it makes likes private.
And so the idea, or at least the business decision was to make it so that
you are more free to like, whatever you like,
and no one's gonna judge you for it because
there are some people who will go around and look at someone's timeline.
And see you have liked this post from this person
that I don't agree with for this particular reason,
I will then block you.
That happened a lot. So that was the rationale.
Um, but what's that led into is people wanting to still support, um, creators,
artists, et cetera on Twitter,
and
the likes being private kind of prevents that.
So people just started responding to tweets with the yeah
button of various varieties to be like I've liked it.
But I've liked it in a way that you can see that it's me that liked it.
And, yeah, it's based on the me
verse. Yeah, button
cosmic says.
Is it feasible to offer an option to make yourself unaffected by disruptive,
intrusive items like the bone that messes your colours?
When somebody holds it near you as it is,
anybody can just mess with you without your permission.
This is
sort of a moderation thing, which is, if someone's doing that without your consent,
it's harassment.
Report it to moderation.
Um, hopefully it doesn't have to go that far. Maybe just tell them to stop first.
But if they continue and they're not listening to you, it's harassment.
Report it to moderation.
Um, but once hard permissions come out.
Uh, we'll be able to sort of do that sort of stuff.
Uh, there's lots of commentary about, um, how we should refer to X. Um,
I'm gonna go with Twitter or how they want us to call you it X,
um, or some wording on that. I'll I'll, I'll work chop it a bit.
All right? I don't see, actually, uh, no. OK, that question's done.
I don't see any other. Oh, cosmic. Says
what are hard permissions in context? Uh, if someone can grab the github
issue,
uh, then and then we'll we'll we'll go for it.
But yeah, it's just a github issue.
Um,
uh, Whips says, Do you see any available time in the next week for
github issue 69? Nope.
I'm really busy this week.
Do
I know that you really, really like me?
But if you could start licking my toes, we'd be better friends. Thank you.
And thank you for that. Um,
as we're getting to a sort of like, uh, what's the word drought in questions?
Uh, i'll go to the apartment question.
Uh, so when moving into an apartment,
the first thing that you need to do is when you're touring the apartment,
Always flush the toilet.
The reason why you flush the toilet is because it checks the plumbing.
If you flush the toilet and the entire apartment shakes and makes lots of noises,
ask me how I know.
Um,
then you're in a bad apartment and you should get out.
You should also turn on the tap to,
like have water flowing out of the sink that also checks the
plumbing knock on the walls to see how thin they are.
You won't get really thick walls in American apartments,
but at least you know what you're getting yourself in for.
Double check
that you can get the Internet.
You want some apartment buildings can only get centurylink. And just
no to centurylink.
Personally,
this statement does not reflect the opinions
of yellow dogman studios or its affiliates.
Uh, sorry.
That statement is just in case we have dealings with centurylink in the future
so personally don't like them.
Um,
I'm lucky in that. I
what am I on?
I'm on
like wave G like wave Internet rebranded themselves and it was really confusing.
And I still don't know why. If anyone knows why, tell me cos I'm very confused.
I even asked some of the network techs that came out to install it.
I'm like, Why do you guys keep changing names?
Like
it was something?
And then it got changed to, like, wave,
But they added a G on the end of it for some reason.
And then they changed
Wave to be astound broadband powered by wave. And I'm I'm just very confused.
Uh, but yeah, gigabit symmetric. Uh,
that's before you move in.
Um, you should also do a pre
movement inspection.
Um, where you, uh, take a look around and document everything. If you don't
document it, at least take a photo of it because the photo has a time stamp on it.
And yeah, they could argue that the photos docked, et cetera,
But you have a like a photo which, like authentically and honourably,
you took that time of moving of some particular damage.
Uh, so
it's good, and you point out anything and I mean anything
cos I was going through in the premo
inspection with, um a leasing agent in this apartment,
and she was like, Oh, there's some damage here in taking a photo of it,
and it was like one of the larger damages that is in this apartment.
But I was noticing, like,
paint missing in a couple of areas.
And I'm like, Look, there's paint missing there, and she's like, Oh,
we we just call that wear and tear And I was like, Yeah,
you'll call it wear and tear on move in.
But I move out, you'll charge me money to repair that thing, not actually repair it,
and then just charge the next tenant for it. She's like, we don't do that.
And I'm like, Then why is this issue here? You obviously haven't repaired it
like you haven't repaired it, right?
So
you probably charge the previous tenant for it.
It didn't repair it, and then they're gonna charge me for it,
so that ain't happening.
So, uh, it took, like, an extra like half hour of me just going around and being like,
that's scuffed paint, damage
damage, previous repair, previous repair, etcetera.
It's crazy.
Yeah, I would 3D scan the place now, um, I'm more confident in, like how to do it.
Um, Then when you're moving in,
try and stagger it so that your old place still has some time left.
And the reason you do that is you want the keys to the new place,
but not the pressure to have stuff in the new place.
You want the new place to be empty
once the new place is empty and you have keys and the
leasing agent has gone away and it essentially is now your place.
Clean it
and I mean everything.
You clean everything, you clean the floor, you clean the surfaces,
you clean the baseboards.
By the way, um,
if you're recently moving towards being an adult and owning your own apartment,
baseboards need cleaning like those things that you just like don't even notice.
Half the time they need cleaning, they get really dusty,
um,
clean, anything that touches food. So you clean the fridge top to bottom,
clean the microwave top to bottom. You clean the dishwasher top to bottom.
You also run the dishwasher through with a dishwasher cleaning product.
Then, um,
you also do the same with the washing machine or dryer.
Check the dryer lint trap.
Because most people on this planet don't understand the light dryer lint trap.
My dry lint trap looked like it had never been emptied.
I donned.
Um,
I donned rubber gloves
and
a covid mask and I. I cleaned the lint trap cos it was just
completely full. Um,
yes. So in the UK, we call them skirting boards,
which is another name for them.
I don't really know why they exist. Like when they're like that.
They've got, like, a design to them.
I can I can see them bringing up the visual appeal of a room.
Uh, but the ones in here are just like a plank of wood.
They're just like a plank of wood. So it's It's it's crazy like that
Pretty much. James. Yeah.
Hides the flooring gaps as well. Yeah, um, whilst you're at it, like,
do Americans just not like silicone the toilet to the floor these days, Like,
I've lived in two apartments so far in America.
And
in both cases,
the toilet
isn't silicone to the floor. And I'm like, aren't you meant to do that?
No. I know that you use wax for the actual like the pipe,
but like you, you know, you screw the toilet in,
and then you put silicone around the edge where the the toilet meets the floor.
Erin says that you're not supposed to. Cosmic says that you're supposed to.
OK, Erin. And cosmic fight
fight.
Um, but yeah, they don't do that here. Uh, as for other apartment things, um,
when you get in and you're all set up and you're you're trying to get used to it,
open up a a document
or like a
you know, like a notepad document. Google, Doc, whatever.
And you write in,
um, your address
you put in, um,
the start date, the end date.
If you lease how much the rent is you just put
all the details as you understand them into a document.
You save that document,
and then you can refer to that every time you're confused,
right? You you conf
like you're like, Ah, what's my address again in that document?
Uh, when do I move out again?
In that document, you also add, um,
a month or two before your lease expires to your calendar.
You add the renewal to your calendar a month or two before,
and the reason why you do it a month or two before is so that you have time to decide.
Do you want to continue living here before they start asking you that,
because by the time they've asked you that, it's usually like 60 ish days,
and that can sometimes be the time of notice that you need to give to move out.
So you do it like a month or two before, which I guess is 60 days.
But you know what I mean?
Um, to just be like, Do I want to live here again?
Um,
additionally,
keep in mind that if it's a larger apartment community, for example,
if your landlord isn't someone that you physically met and shook hands with
and that you know that they're the landlord, literally the landlord on paperwork,
then you're probably dealing with a Mega Corp that owns,
like every apartment known to man here, and then they do not care a fuck about you.
They don't care at you at all. You don't even exist.
They pay the management community
like the leasing manager, the maintenance people,
so that they don't have to deal with it.
And that means you can never negotiate rent in one of these apartment buildings
because, like the message won't even get to the landlord.
There's more about this in, um, a video about, um,
a site called Real Page or something,
but basically screwed over the rental market. And it's the reason why rents are like
a mess or whatever.
Uh,
this is the video I watched.
I don't know if it's a video I watched, but it's talking about the same thing.
They, uh, there's a bunch of other stuff. I just like I won't remember it like I do.
I do like a whole bunch of stuff when I move into an apartment. But,
um, if you have any specific questions, let me know.
Um so exo
Googled if you're supposed to sit a code to around a toilet,
Um, and Google says it's required by the international Plumbing code.
Um,
Aaron says, if you do it, uh,
and any moisture that gets under the toilet from a bad seal OK,
so that's moisture getting from the
the pipe. You know, the waste pipe out towards the the, uh, corking.
What I'm always worried about is moisture getting under
the toilet and getting to that wax seal and and compromising it.
And that's why I think it should be corked, right?
Cos Then there's a barrier both ways.
You don't get poopy water coming out from the toilet and you
don't get regular water going in and compromising the the seal.
OK, we have some resonant questions. Let me get back to them.
Uh, red says this boy doesn't update its display that often.
It's a bug or a feature of performance. Um,
most nodes, I say most nodes because I don't know. Let's just delete the word.
Most nodes. Um,
a collection of nodes in proto
flux are what are called continuously updating,
which means they will continuously propagate their changes outwards.
Another collection of nodes don't do that.
Um,
that doesn't mean that they'll be out of date. They will always be
in date.
Um, for the requirement of of whatever is downstream
as into the right on the node graph.
Uh,
I need to do a video on this.
I'm not in the right state of mind to do a video on this,
but that's probably what's going on there.
So, skip,
uh,
next,
uh, whip says, Why does this do that?
Uh, I, I think it's one of those, like Easter eggs I can't tell you.
And the reason behind that is, if you decomp
for extension, you do not get the appropriate output for a BO uh,
03 L. It's not the correct, uh, decomp
code.
Uh, Cosby says,
do you plan to make cloud variables update faster or possibly in real time?
Eventually? Yes. We actually wanna move, uh, cloud variables to signal R as well.
So currently, um,
messaging and contact requests and stuff like that are on signal R.
But we also wanna move cloud variables to signal R as well.
Oh, my God. No, James, no. Do not eat the chewy.
Are you talking about eating the seal or eating? Uh,
just,
uh, if you have to replace the seal in a toilet,
just like right off the entire day because you're just gonna, like,
lay in the bathtub and feel gross afterwards.
Basically.
So lovely typos go in.
I don't see any other questions.
Uh, whip says, but why can't you say what it does? I don't know if I can
record. This is like a thing that exists in small companies
where, like the the ND A requirements aren't really known.
And you kind of have to guess
like as an example here like
I won't list to you all of the companies that
we are currently working with and trying to make money with
because that doesn't seem like good business stuff,
particularly when it's not announced that we're working with them.
That's quite clearly something that would breach an ND
a right but the source code of the BOB
three
node.
I don't know. What I do know
is that because fruits confirmed it as a joke, Uh,
when I threatened to release the information as a joke.
We're both joking around basically,
um, that the reason that you get the blueberry,
mango or orange badge is covered by the ND A.
And based on that joke, I am jovially as in not seriously at all,
assuming that BOB through rule is covered under that,
and I'm losing my voice as I speak.
Give me one second,
OK, that's fixed
Trend
says it's the only way for users to
interact with signal are using flux of components?
Not currently, Eaton says, clover variables using signal are sounds cursed.
I agree,
Aaron says. I replaced a few seals. I don't think it's really that bad to be it.
Uh, if Aaron says something isn't gross. Listen to them.
Um,
James says they've done it a few times because toilet water gets everywhere.
It's their least favourable thing,
Aaron says. Empty the toilet water. Do you know what professional plumbers use?
They use like, um,
powder or like, crystals or whatever that you put into the toilet?
And it just turns the toilet water into, like, slush,
and then they scoop it out into a a trash bag.
They do that particularly if the toilet isn't clean when they go to replace it.
Let's move on.
Um
uh, Cotis industrial or B is pretty much Yep,
Spec
says I just make mine blue like the ocean.
Yeah, I like. I've tried numerous toilet products to make my toilet water blue.
Um, but I just forget to use them
right there's like you can drop like a tablet in the system. Like the back part.
I've got, like, a a box of those,
like a like wholesale box of those underneath my sink.
I just can never remember to put another one in.
Uh,
Aaron says, Well, Jason passing come with collections and resonate.
It might not come immediately,
as it might not be sort of tied up with the collection work,
but it will come
either with the collection work or quite closely following the collection Work.
Uh,
says why do we turn the toilet water blue?
Because blue water appears and feels cleaner. Right?
And also, like, cleans your toilet every time you flush it.
Just like can we stop talking about toilets now? OK,
you don't talk. Oh, my God. I've never been in office hours late.
Does this always happen?
It does when there are enough questions to to warrant the conversation.
Um, what's that, like, video of the toilets swinging.
They've got blue water in them.
OK, this is the same channel that did the original one,
but they made it more cursed with a follow up video.
So I'll link the follow up video
where they they're capitalising on Skibby.
OK, Jason
asking questions done. Red?
Uh, no, no, Ken,
what are collections? Is that money for eraser objects?
Yeah, it's any, um, dynamic data source. Basically.
So if you think about all of the components nodes, uh, stuff that you do in resonate,
it's all fairly well, static, right?
We know the properties that are in a, um, a component, Like an axis aligner.
We know all those properties that exist.
Uh, we know all the properties that exist on an avatar.
With collections, you can get dynamic properties where there's an array.
Or maybe there's an array of objects. Or maybe the objects have properties that, uh,
change or advance, Like, you know, Jason, right?
I can just edit Jason and add another,
and that breaks the data model. Um, the C#.
Has because the contract wouldn't be there. That allows you to access that field.
Uh, epic
says clover variables.
On Saint Patrick's Day,
every single cloud variable gets turned into a clover variable,
and every single data type only returns, uh, Clovers and its output.
Yes.
Uh, that is all of the questions that we have, Um,
right now and we are reaching the top of the hour, so I'm gonna go ahead and say, uh,
no more questions.
I also don't know what skied
toilet is.
I should probably just watch all of them on, like,
two times speed and get it over with.
Why are people saying no?
My mind is already broken. Specs. It's not gonna be able to be broken anymore.
Anyway. No more questions. I'm gonna go ahead, leave off here.
I will speak to you soon if you've got any, um,
questions, Uh,
in the meantime,
questions and help DM me.
We get help, you know. Bye bye.
