1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,500
Hello.

2
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:05,840
I said hello into the camera, but stuff still happened.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,800
So what's up?

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Drew Barrymore is a fucking scab.

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,880
Now and forevermore, she's a scab.

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,560
If you didn't know, I didn't know Drew Barrymore has a talk show.

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,760
That's written.

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,480
It's a scripted talk show.

9
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,800
She decided that in the middle of a writer's strike,

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,160
she was going to bring back her show that uses writers.

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,200
She was like, nah, trust me, it's fine.

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,560
It's cool that I'm doing this.

13
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,200
And also, don't worry about it.

14
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,080
But the interesting thing about that is that she's a fucking scab.

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Her own writers are on the picket line outside of her recording.

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,720
And there's not much more to say here besides Drew Barrymore

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400
decided to bring back her show, crossing the picket line,

18
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,960
breaking the strike, and is a fucking scab.

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:46,360
I don't know.

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,840
Have I made it clear yet?

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,320
I hope that I've gotten that message across.

22
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,400
There's a new iPhone.

23
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,480
It has USB-C. That's it.

24
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,400
Yeah, Apple had their event yesterday,

25
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,840
and they announced their new iPhone.

26
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,800
It's got USB-C because they had to,

27
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160
because EU regulators forced them to.

28
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,920
And everything else is completely unnecessary.

29
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720
It's got a titanium frame.

30
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Guys, buy it.

31
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Notably, despite the fact that USB-C is capable of incredibly good speeds,

32
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,040
you straight up don't get good transfer speeds

33
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,720
if you don't have the Pro model.

34
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,480
They just made it so that their base models don't have good USB-C ports.

35
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,160
They just don't.

36
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,560
And look, I get it. It's niche.

37
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Not everybody needs to transfer big files to and from their phone anymore.

38
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600
So it's like not that big of a deal.

39
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,280
The big win here is that we don't have to have lightning cables

40
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,120
for this one device in a world that everything else uses USB-C.

41
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,040
But if you've ever tried to actually transfer anything from an iPhone

42
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,880
to anything else that's like a big video file or something,

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,120
it's a nightmare.

44
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,680
Having actually fast USB-C would be great,

45
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,080
but you got to pay a premium for that one.

46
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,120
God, just so much technology bullshit today.

47
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Here we go.

48
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Have you played a video game?

49
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,200
I know I have.

50
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Have you played a video game that was made with Unity?

51
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,840
Probably, you probably have if you play video games.

52
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,440
If you're not familiar, Unity is a game engine, kind of like Unreal Engine,

53
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,240
and it's especially popular among the indie crowd.

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,640
And also, Unity just announced a new pricing structure

55
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:20,000
where they're going to charge you based on the number of installs of your game.

56
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,200
I want to be clear, not first-time installs,

57
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,720
not number of people playing your game,

58
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,160
number of installs.

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160
You will owe the Unity developers 20 cents

60
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
every time somebody installs your game after a certain amount of income.

61
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480
So that means if one person installs your game

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,640
and then uninstalls it and then reinstalls it, that's 40 cents.

63
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,160
I cannot stress enough how little sense this makes,

64
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,640
and developers are not happy about it.

65
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:46,960
They're pretty fucking irate.

66
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Some of them are saying they're just going to drop Unity forever

67
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800
because this is not the first time that Unity's made some dumb decisions

68
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,160
with how you have to pay them.

69
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,960
The backlash has been swift and hard,

70
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,480
and it'll be interesting to see if they stick with this or repeal it.

71
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960
I cannot stress enough, this makes no sense.

72
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Imagine if every time you wanted to search something on Google,

73
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,400
it cost you money.

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,600
But then if you searched the same thing twice,

75
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,120
they charged you the same amount both times.

76
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,520
Imagine that the way that parking pricing,

77
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,520
at like an apartment complex or something,

78
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360
was charged based on the number of times that you entered your parking spot.

79
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,880
I guess that's what a parking meter is.

80
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,360
But still, there has been more devastating natural disasters

81
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,480
that I kind of have to talk about.

82
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,680
It's wild.

83
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,720
I was hoping to avoid bummers, but the Earth did not want to avoid bummers.

84
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Flooding in Libya has claimed thousands of lives,

85
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,400
anywhere between 2,000 and 5,000 at the time of recording.

86
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,080
A massive storm caused multiple dams to break,

87
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760
which resulted in devastating flooding in the city of Derna.

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Entire neighborhoods have been washed away,

89
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,360
thousands of people are missing,

90
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920
the death toll is expected to continue to rise.

91
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,200
The current higher estimates are like 5,000.

92
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
It's probably going to go up into the double-digit thousand.

93
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
This is, of course, on the heels of the earthquake in Morocco

94
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,120
that claimed thousands of lives and the destructive hurricane fire of Maui

95
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,520
and all of the hurricanes we've been getting this season.

96
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400
There's nothing you can really do. It's natural disasters.

97
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Some of them are caused by climate change.

98
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Some of them are just fucking bad luck.

99
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Again, take care of yourself.

100
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,760
If you want to donate, again, I've included links in my newsletter.

101
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,280
All right, we're doing it again.

102
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,680
Okay, stretch with me. We're going to stretch the vibes out.

103
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,920
Get a good, deep stretch in those vibes.

104
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,120
All right, bring them back up.

105
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,800
On this day in 1814, during the War of 1812,

106
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,720
the British failed to take Baltimore,

107
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
which resulted in the writing of a poem

108
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,720
that would ultimately become the US National Anthem.

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,200
Notably, the original poem was called The Defense of Fort McHenry.

110
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,520
It's American history. I don't need to tell you it was racist.

111
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,280
Some of those lyrics from the original poem

112
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,720
didn't make their way into the National Anthem version of the poem,

113
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,920
for obvious reasons.

114
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:54,640
Lightning round.

115
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,040
McDonald's plans to remove all self-service soda fountains from their shops.

116
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,560
US Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has announced intentions

117
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,360
to move forward with an impeachment inquiry against Biden.

118
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,520
There's not really a reason to be doing this,

119
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,760
except for he's getting pressured from his right flank

120
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,120
and he's a spineless coward.

121
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,920
Joe Biden's not my guy, but...

122
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Really?

123
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,760
The escaped murderer in Pennsylvania has been captured.

124
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,480
He previously broke into someone's house and got a gun,

125
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520
which was a pretty big threat, but he's captured now.

126
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,800
There's going to be a press conference.

127
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,440
The press conference is actually happening as I'm recording this,

128
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880
so details will come out today.

129
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,280
A massive antitrust trial against Google has started this week,

130
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,560
and this is one of the biggest antitrust anti-monopoly trials

131
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,920
the DOJ has brought against a tech company in like 20 years.

132
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,920
The FDA has approved a COVID booster shot for everybody above the age of five.

133
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,960
A major Roblox developer conference was cancelled

134
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,960
after one of their developers was being unruly fighting with police

135
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,680
and then had a gun with him in a high-capacity magazine.

136
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
And finally for today, the race has come to an end,

137
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,840
as Nintendo will no longer be updating their Mario Kart Tour mobile game.

138
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,720
Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening.

139
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Head to StuffKeepsHappening.online for sources, bonus content,

140
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,400
and continued black market updates for Mario Kart Tour.

141
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080
My name is Endeavorance, I'll be back on Friday.

142
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Take care and be well.
