a video up for the 980 and I think we're gonna be giving a video up +[162.12 --> 167.40] hopefully next week yeah next we're gonna hit the 970 and I don't know if this is official or not but +[167.40 --> 171.66] I kind of leaked it a little bit during the 24 stream that we might be doing some SLI testing oh we will +[171.66 --> 177.48] definitely be doing some SLI testing so next big thing that happened this week Microsoft officially +[177.48 --> 186.78] acquires Mojang so for those of you who don't know Mojang is the maker of the infamous Minecraft so what +[186.78 --> 192.06] Microsoft plans to do with Minecraft I think people either don't know or don't want to know yeah or +[192.06 --> 200.94] somewhere in between yep and then there is let's see there was something really interesting somewhere +[200.94 --> 211.14] oh no right Apple has updated their security on the iPhone on iOS to so such that if your phone is +[211.14 --> 217.26] locked even they cannot access your data which I guess is their way of absolving themselves of any +[217.26 --> 223.74] responsibility to report any of their users data to the government in such a situation as that would +[223.74 --> 232.26] be requested of them so I gotta give them massive massive kudos for that with that said the release +[232.26 --> 239.40] of iOS 8 doesn't seem to have created a whole ton of fanfare amidst the community so it seems to be a +[239.40 --> 245.66] lot of under the hood improvements without a ton of you know huge graphical changes like we saw in iOS 7 +[245.66 --> 254.94] so why don't we call that our main topics roll the intro and I finally found it that's cool and get this show on the road yeah +[269.40 --> 271.48] for you +[299.40 --> 306.40] you +[318.72 --> 323.28] you can sign up as where space dot com slash line is these offer code line is +[323.28 --> 324.12] to save +[324.12 --> 327.52] 10 percent on your own beautiful customizable +[327.52 --> 330.56] website so we have only got +[330.56 --> 334.76] see 75 minutes battery so we're gonna have to kinda fly through our topics +[334.76 --> 335.28] today +[335.28 --> 339.64] and and do our best to to cover them as well as we can especially given we have +[339.64 --> 343.34] no idea we're talking about so for gtx 980 which is actually our first topic you +[343.34 --> 344.70] can check out our YouTube video +[344.70 --> 349.02] so we can fly past this one pretty quick and also the gtx 970 launch we having a +[349.02 --> 351.92] video coming next week so I don't think we need to talk a ton about these +[351.92 --> 355.20] individual well they are kind of important they are kind of important +[355.20 --> 358.56] that is true should we talk about them yeah I think I think it might not be it +[358.56 --> 361.80] might not be a terrible idea so in our performance testing in the YouTube video +[361.80 --> 366.66] we found that 980 and 780 ti go pretty toe-to-toe in a lot of different +[366.66 --> 373.58] situations but then 980 crushes 780 ti in power efficiency yeah so the to be clear +[373.58 --> 378.04] guys when you look at any other review on the web you're gonna find you're gonna +[378.04 --> 382.26] find 980 pretty much dominating everything else but the key difference is +[382.26 --> 387.22] that we overclock all of our cards as far as we possibly can before running all of +[387.22 --> 391.16] our benchmarks so what we found is that well 980 is a beast overclocker I think +[391.16 --> 395.20] there was only one game that wasn't running over 1500 megahertz on the core +[395.20 --> 403.48] just like really yeah you're impressive you serious bro our 780 ti is also a bit of a +[403.48 --> 409.58] beast and runs well over 1200 megahertz too so given the number of CUDA core is given the +[409.58 --> 415.58] 384 bit memory bus that 780 ti has a lot of raw horsepower to throw at any kind +[415.58 --> 419.78] of a any kind of a rendering problem so we ended up with them kind of trading +[419.78 --> 423.20] blows the one that I'm actually really interested in and it's a kind of a +[423.20 --> 428.20] funny story why we didn't end up with a GTX 970 in time for us to do a review +[428.20 --> 434.50] for launch I was sitting in the briefing down in in California which is where I +[434.50 --> 439.36] am now so here I was sitting I was sitting in the briefing very close to +[439.36 --> 445.58] where I am right now and I got an email from gigabyte yo dog here's a graphics +[445.58 --> 449.14] card code name something and I wasn't looking that closely at it because I was +[449.14 --> 452.62] in the middle of a presentation I do you want us to send you a sample for a +[452.62 --> 457.14] review and I kind of went yeah sure and I figured because Nvidia was only seating +[457.14 --> 462.86] GTX 980s I figured that gigabyte was sending us a 970 turns out that the one +[462.86 --> 468.16] that arrived from gigabyte is a 980 so we actually ended up with too many 980s and +[468.16 --> 474.38] no 970s at all so I asked gigabyte about it I said hey um do you guys have a 970 that we can +[474.38 --> 478.00] get our hands on we haven't we haven't been able to do a review yet and they said oh well +[478.00 --> 483.76] we actually prioritized you to get a 980 because you're a key partner for us and I +[483.76 --> 488.38] kind of went oh thank you that didn't work out very well for anyone but thank you +[488.38 --> 492.82] appreciate it yeah I appreciate the thought you guys you guys are awesome we love working with +[492.82 --> 498.94] you and all that stuff I just really wish we had a 970 so we can do our review of it so that's why +[498.94 --> 503.26] that's not out this week but that'll be out next week yeah we'll get that up but I'm really interested +[503.26 --> 510.88] in that one because the pricing is so aggressive as low as 330 bucks in the US for our car that is +[510.88 --> 516.70] effectively around 20% slower than the GTX 980 because they cut down some of the functional units +[516.70 --> 521.12] and I I don't actually know you're at the event but I'm assuming it also has auto balancing power +[521.12 --> 528.64] rails no no no sorry that is still a top tier I know that's still a top tier only feature so 780 TI +[528.64 --> 534.88] GTX 980 are the only ones that have that auto balancing power feature that makes overclocking on +[534.88 --> 541.18] these cards pretty flexible yeah and pretty beastly yeah yeah yeah all right that'll be interesting +[541.18 --> 546.64] because it'll be completely different overclocking experience of the new platform so the OP here is +[546.64 --> 551.80] goodbytes what I'm gonna do this week is I'm just gonna kind of spam twitch chat because I didn't think +[551.80 --> 559.42] to bring oh you have got to be kidding me I didn't think to bring to oh wait what oh here we go here we +[559.42 --> 564.46] go I got this I got this I didn't think to bring to capture devices here so we've just got the one for +[564.46 --> 569.92] our camera so I can't actually screen share with you guys but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna spam +[569.92 --> 575.20] chat with the links to the articles that we're talking about so the original poster just let me +[575.20 --> 581.44] manage the shirts there the original poster was goodbytes and basically Microsoft has revealed a +[581.44 --> 587.56] fair number of details about DirectX 11.3 and DirectX 12 now we've got a lot of information in the +[587.56 --> 592.66] doc that hopefully Luke is reading right now so he can talk about this a little bit but in a nutshell +[592.66 --> 601.24] we actually had the DirectX project lead presenting at the Nvidia press event last week and in a nutshell +[601.24 --> 608.84] he basically said okay well we'll look here here's what it is DirectX 11.3 is the features so it's got +[608.84 --> 615.10] the new rendering features that are really exciting and are going to potentially free up overhead from +[615.10 --> 622.64] the GPUs make it so that they can more efficiently render things like multiple transparent objects so they +[622.64 --> 627.88] showed off rasterizer ordered views yeah rasterizer ordered views thank you so he showed off a few +[627.88 --> 634.10] different things that DirectX 11.3 can do and then explain that DirectX 12 is basically going to have +[634.10 --> 641.06] those features except with all that CPU performance optimization that we've been hearing about ever +[641.06 --> 648.44] since AMD first started talking about mantle and how it was going to allow your CPU to your multi-core CPU to +[648.44 --> 656.54] spread out workloads much more effectively now the funny thing about DirectX 12 is that not only have +[656.54 --> 661.40] they made it so that they're going to be able to split the workload across CPUs but in the slides that +[661.40 --> 671.18] he showed us something really interesting that we notice is CPU usage overall also plummets so while the theory +[671.18 --> 678.98] that like the theory that I've had up until up until he gave us that presentation was that all of a sudden we're +[678.98 --> 686.30] gonna have this yeah we're gonna have a justification for for you know GTX 5960 X just for straight gaming and +[686.30 --> 701.16] games are gonna be able to leverage that I kind of went well hold on a second GTX 5960 did I say that core i7 5960 X thank you so I it's just running one game I was like okay yeah maybe we'll be able to use all eight of these cores and all 16 of these threads but then I +[701.18 --> 731.06] kind of realized well hold on a second if CPU utilization is going down this much we might just not need the cores or the clock speed it'll be really interesting to see what happens to what we need in terms of CPU power for gaming I mean what I'd really like to see happen is I'd like to see game developers use the CPU horsepower that we have anyway AI destructible environments I don't know how CPU intensive it is but Nvidia's new global illumination +[731.06 --> 761.06] feature yeah I would love to see some of that offloaded to the CPU so that we can get truly much more dynamic visually games in the next couple of years here it might take us a little bit to see some of these implementations because there's a few warnings it says it's very powerful but it's difficult to master and quote unquote dangerous and inexperienced in the hands of inexperienced programmers they're saying that the development model is that a few code gurus will make stuff like engines +[761.06 --> 768.06] that they're going to build on top of it and outside of that they don't really expect too many people to touch it because it will be a very very complicated thing to work with +[768.06 --> 790.06] alright so our next our next topic is engineers made a radio the size of an ant that doesn't require a battery this was originally posted by ETRJ on the Linus Tech Tips forum and the original article is from the verge.com so engineering professors from Stanford and the University of California Berkeley I don't know +[790.06 --> 820.04] I don't know I don't know how that sentence was supposed to be structured so anyway created a radio the size of an ant no battery it's actually powered by harvesting radio signals and doesn't require any external power so the goal is to use these chips to facilitate the internet of things so for those of you who aren't familiar with the term internet of things it it refers to the concept that everything will be connected so not just your smart +[820.04 --> 850.02] smartwatch not just your smartphone but even something as simple as your headphones and high quality headphones not headphones where having connectivity in them is this this janky kludgy gimmicky type of feature just everything will have connectivity because it will be so cheap to implement and so easy to implement that even good products will just will just have it so something as simple as you know your power adapter for your notebook +[850.02 --> 876.02] could be connected there's no reason why couldn't be and that could feed into your house and tell your house how much power it's consuming and the house could you know automatically balance power who knows like the idea is just that once everything's connected we're gonna unlock a lot of possibilities that we didn't have before things like door knobs things like your car door so just being able to carry your smartphone in your pocket and have everything in your life be connected so +[876.02 --> 885.50] um obviously we're not there yet no i mean you look you just you can look at something like the moto 360 as a great example of how +[885.50 --> 897.78] yeah this type of technology is not cheap or power efficient enough yet for ubiquity mind you part of that problem is because they used like a i think it was a processor from 2010 +[897.78 --> 910.62] you have to assume that they did that for cost reasons there's there's a lot of um there's actually a lot of different reviews out there talking about how there doesn't really seem to be much of a sensible reason because there's actually cheaper chips that would have been better +[910.62 --> 920.76] yeah i don't know maybe they got like a massive bulk order for of it for some like ridiculously cheap price or something i don't know even that doesn't really make any sense because i mean +[920.76 --> 937.58] the the the release cadence for mobile products tends to be about a year and so i wouldn't expect motorola to be refreshing the moto 360 for probably about a year so it's not like you order a year's worth of cpus ever that doesn't make any sense +[937.58 --> 943.92] it's just it's it seems so silly like i just i don't understand why they did that and i was so excited to get the moto 360 +[943.92 --> 952.22] and i'm so happy that i've taken to never pre-ordering things yeah yeah because holy crap don't want one anymore +[952.22 --> 960.84] um so anyway these uh these new chips that are powered by by harvesting radio signals are only supposed to cost a few cents to produce +[960.84 --> 969.18] so that could make it possible to integrate them in these types of commodity items things like things like light bulbs things that are just all over your house +[969.18 --> 973.96] and uh and and then the kind of information they could provide could be pretty cool i mean +[973.96 --> 979.92] not just being able to tell you okay how much power the light bulb is consuming but allow you to turn it on and turn it off +[979.92 --> 983.44] yeah they can send and receive information yeah so you could be like kitchen light bulb on +[983.44 --> 989.54] yeah i mean that kind of stuff exists right now but the problem is that it's really expensive the app +[989.54 --> 996.48] ecosystems are not that consistent yeah and it's it's just not quite it's not quite there yet +[996.48 --> 1003.80] moving on we have microsoft acquiring mojang so the guys that make minecraft for 2.5 billion dollars +[1003.80 --> 1008.70] it was officially announced on september 15th i'm going to spam this in switch chat +[1008.70 --> 1018.70] oh my goodness that is a lot of money so i mean and sorry this is again posted on the forum by the +[1018.70 --> 1024.42] same guy that posted the last right if i could jump over there etrj there we go so a lot of the community +[1024.42 --> 1032.94] is is pretty is pretty upset about you know feeling like they they got abandoned by notch +[1032.94 --> 1041.46] um at the same time like but i get it yeah he has his reasons he said that uh he decided he doesn't +[1041.46 --> 1046.92] want the responsibility of owning a company of such global significance and you know what he's kind of +[1046.92 --> 1054.02] got a point because i think and it's not it's not a matter of selling out when you've already made the +[1054.02 --> 1060.28] money notch doesn't have to work another day in his life but he will yeah because he's he's passionate +[1060.28 --> 1065.68] he wants to do something else but when you're when you're when you're running something of such +[1065.68 --> 1072.98] significance that's of importance to so many people you end up trapped he became minecraft yeah instead of +[1072.98 --> 1078.90] being himself he was minecraft at this point in time and so you know yes he sold the money for +[1078.90 --> 1083.64] what he could get i mean i don't think that that's an unfair thing to do and i don't i think it's +[1083.64 --> 1089.30] unreasonable to expect someone to i don't know what give the company away like like how do you how do you +[1089.30 --> 1093.74] get rid of the company without selling out it's not even you're going to run into a ton of legal +[1093.74 --> 1098.92] difficulty trying to give away an asset that's worth billions of dollars like that that is not okay +[1098.92 --> 1105.32] you legitimately can't do that so if he wants out if he doesn't want to do minecraft for the rest of +[1105.32 --> 1112.56] his life then you know what i guess it's it might be better to do it now than to wait even longer and +[1112.56 --> 1118.44] longer and longer and i think i think that it's uh i don't know i i'm excited to see what he's going to +[1118.44 --> 1124.32] do next yeah yeah me too because uh other things that i heard like this isn't necessarily in the doc and +[1124.32 --> 1127.90] i haven't done enough research on this at all but i've just kind of heard through the rumor mill +[1127.90 --> 1132.38] that a lot of it was um being frustrated too because he wants to work on all these other +[1132.38 --> 1135.60] different things but the second he does everyone's like why aren't you working on my crafts +[1135.60 --> 1140.48] yeah look how much money it's making you why aren't you working on my craft yeah he's like i don't care +[1140.48 --> 1144.78] i want to work on these things that are more entertaining when you when you have that many +[1144.78 --> 1150.78] millions of dollars like i i think some people feel like they need more millions of dollars um +[1150.78 --> 1155.26] not doesn't seem like one of those guys but when you have that much money a lot of people are just +[1155.26 --> 1160.20] going to kind of go yeah you know what i'm set for life this is fine and and you know the funny +[1160.20 --> 1165.10] thing the funny thing about it is even guys like i saw i saw an interesting um i saw an interesting +[1165.10 --> 1172.42] quote from donald trump uh not that long ago where he was talking about why why he wheels and deals +[1172.42 --> 1179.58] why he tries to make more money he's like yeah i don't need money basically i'm i'm driven and i and i i i +[1179.58 --> 1187.18] i i you know i i i love to deal you know i love to i love to buy i love to sell i this is this is what +[1187.18 --> 1192.94] i do this is what gets me up in the morning and i kind of went yeah you know i i i kind of i guess i +[1192.94 --> 1200.70] kind of get that yeah and you know if notch's passion is making great games and ultimately it's not about +[1200.70 --> 1206.22] the money then that doesn't mean he can't make a ton of money doing it it just means that he's going to be +[1206.22 --> 1211.82] driven to do that thing and if we put him in this box where it's like you have to work on minecraft +[1211.82 --> 1217.98] because money that's not going to make any sense no in his head no i don't know interesting situation +[1218.70 --> 1225.82] i'm but i also i like i also get it because minecraft was is so community driven it's all about +[1225.82 --> 1231.34] community and you know feeling like kind of fearless leader for a long time yeah i mean you've had this +[1231.34 --> 1237.18] you've had this advocate you've had this face to put on minecraft where unfortunately you know +[1237.98 --> 1242.30] one of his face on minecraft anymore the graphics ain't that good maybe he wants a better face +[1244.14 --> 1252.38] it's so boxy i'm just kidding all right we've got some pretty good news here so op is qwerty warrior +[1252.38 --> 1263.34] vesa released the displayport 1.3 standard so the maximum link bandwidth has been increased to 32.4 +[1263.34 --> 1269.34] gigabit per second so the reason we need higher link bandwidth you guys is not only higher resolution +[1269.34 --> 1277.90] displays but higher refresh rate displays currently with displayport 1.2 4k is limited to 60 hertz but +[1277.90 --> 1284.94] there's no real reason why particularly a tn panel couldn't run higher than 60 hertz why not +[1286.06 --> 1292.86] why not why put why put everyone in a box no no no we want faster display links so that we can start +[1292.86 --> 1298.54] getting faster and faster refresh rates on these higher resolution displays so extremely excited to +[1298.54 --> 1306.06] see that it's about a 50 increase in maximum refresh rate or in maximum bandwidth versus displayport 1.2a +[1306.06 --> 1310.62] it should be noted though that that's not going to translate directly into 50 percent higher +[1310.62 --> 1315.42] resolution or 50 percent higher for frame rate because you're going to have more overhead built +[1315.42 --> 1320.78] into that um so there we go actually that's the next point in the dock here so the combined link +[1320.78 --> 1328.70] rate delivers 25.92 gigabit per second of uncompressed video data so that allows higher resolutions like the +[1328.70 --> 1337.42] recently announced 5k 5120 by 2880 and that's through one cable without compression extremely exciting i +[1337.42 --> 1342.46] mean you know what as as as much as it's great that we're getting interfaces that are going to be able +[1342.46 --> 1347.50] to handle these resolutions without compression windows can't it is a matter yeah windows can't +[1347.50 --> 1353.18] and guys compression is not necessarily the scariest thing in the world yeah a little bit of compression +[1353.18 --> 1358.46] isn't going to kill us and we are reaching the limits of what copper based interfaces are going +[1358.46 --> 1367.02] to be able to do i mean that's that's one of the reasons why hdmi and displayport have been so slow to +[1367.02 --> 1372.30] continue increasing the bandwidth because we're getting pretty close to what we're going to be able to do +[1372.30 --> 1377.74] without much more expensive uh without much more expensive transmitters and receivers on either end +[1377.74 --> 1382.46] and or more expensive link materials so we're either going to get to the point where +[1382.46 --> 1394.46] we're legitimately going to need fancy cables again remake that video yeah i know right damn it crap +[1395.18 --> 1401.42] or we're just going to accept so so the processor is going to get more complex and less expensive and +[1401.42 --> 1404.86] we're just going to accept that we're going to have to do some on-fly compression on the fly compression +[1404.86 --> 1412.14] and decompression and hope that that doesn't add to the latency so this is cool you can drive two 4k +[1412.14 --> 1419.50] ultra hd monitors when using vesa coordinated video timing uh continues to support vga dvi and hdmi +[1419.50 --> 1425.58] via cheapo cheapo adapters that's one of the things that i really like about displayport is that compared +[1425.58 --> 1433.66] to hdmi even hdmi 2.0 which the new gtx 980 supports and can handle 4k at 60 hertz displayport adapts +[1433.66 --> 1440.14] to other standards much more easily which is huge huge thumbs up although i was pretty pleased to find +[1440.14 --> 1446.38] out that hdmi 2.0 didn't end up requiring a connector change yeah yeah that was rumored for a long time +[1446.38 --> 1451.42] and it ended up not becoming a thing extremely i think we had a rant about that on the wine show +[1451.42 --> 1457.10] i think quite a while back but yeah i think we did i mean on the one hand okay but the flip side of that +[1457.10 --> 1464.22] is i sure wish hdmi had a locking connector yes so i'm glad that we're retaining forwards and backwards +[1464.22 --> 1470.30] compatibility for so long i mean that really is admirable but they could have even done like a +[1470.30 --> 1475.98] side mounted screw mount thing though there is it could have been the same there is a company that does +[1475.98 --> 1482.22] kind of this ghetto locking hdmi connector i think they patented it though okay and what it does is it is +[1482.22 --> 1488.06] it clips into just part of the housing that's not meant to be a lot yeah but it kind of cheats and clips in +[1488.06 --> 1496.78] there yeah so um so there you go visa releases displayport 1.3 awesome moving down we have comcast +[1496.78 --> 1502.70] telling customers hold on hold on displayport 1.3 enables support for future 8k displays so that's +[1502.70 --> 1510.54] something that we should probably mention and uh that's oh oh this is cool also supports a single 4k +[1510.54 --> 1516.70] monitor 60 hertz 24-bit color over two lanes while offering another two lanes for alternative data +[1516.70 --> 1523.02] types like super speed usb data oh so so that's pretty cool no displayport is really coming into +[1523.02 --> 1528.30] its own and is going to i i think is just going to be the dominant display that's really interesting +[1528.30 --> 1535.34] i mean look look at again back to gtx 980 how hard is nvidia banking on displayport three displayport +[1535.34 --> 1540.38] connectors on the back of the card pretty heavy duty pretty heavy duty i mean g-sync only works over +[1540.38 --> 1544.22] displayport this is an nvidia technology that they kind of went okay where's the industry heading +[1544.22 --> 1548.62] we're going to bet on displayport and you know what for that matter amd has done the same thing yeah +[1548.62 --> 1554.78] yeah uh earlier i think amd was shipping cards with two displayport connectors much earlier on the +[1554.78 --> 1561.82] nvidia was so yeah yeah i mean when those two agree on something it's probably a good thing just putting +[1561.82 --> 1568.22] that out there yeah so comcast has started telling customers to stop using uh tor and they denied this +[1568.22 --> 1572.70] they've denied this to be clear yeah uh did you post the link in the chat i have not yet but i haven't +[1572.70 --> 1577.50] copy pasted so i got it all right so this was posted in the forum by and then there was one and there +[1577.50 --> 1583.26] are a couple of of articles that were used as references for this though so inquisitor.com and +[1583.26 --> 1591.98] deep.web.com but there is there is a lot of information here and i'll let you run through it an agent named +[1592.62 --> 1597.74] jeremy i almost said jenny because i'm pretty tired but an agent named jeremy has allegedly called tor an +[1597.74 --> 1603.90] illegal service and said that uh tor is against their usage policies and apparently they've repeatedly +[1603.90 --> 1609.34] asked customers to tell the agent what sites the users were accessing through the tor browser +[1609.34 --> 1614.30] one customer spoke to jeremy then called back the next day and spoke with an agent named kelly +[1614.30 --> 1619.42] she reiterated that comcast does not want its customers using tor and she allegedly said that +[1619.42 --> 1624.54] users who try to use anonymity to cover themselves on the internet are usually doing things they aren't so +[1624.54 --> 1629.98] to speak that that aren't so to speak legal we have the right to terminate fine and or suspend your +[1629.98 --> 1637.58] account at any time due to violating the rules you know to me a fine should have to come from some kind +[1637.58 --> 1646.54] of legal entity i mean if you what what what's next the grocery store is going to fine me like are you +[1646.54 --> 1652.30] kidding like if they if if i uh actually i guess a grocery store is a bad example because if i was walking +[1652.30 --> 1656.06] around the grocery store putting things into my coat so that people wouldn't know what i was buying +[1656.06 --> 1662.46] i probably would get i probably would not get fined you wouldn't get fined but you could get prosecuted +[1662.46 --> 1666.46] i think they'd have to wait for you to leave the store with it but they yeah they could have a plain +[1666.46 --> 1670.78] clothes following you around totally different that's legitimately stealing hold on no because +[1670.78 --> 1674.38] what if i intended to pay for it i just didn't want people knowing what i was buying but you left the +[1674.38 --> 1680.86] store with it no no let's say i didn't leave the store okay okay so let's say i okay so hold on a +[1680.86 --> 1684.78] second okay so okay maybe i wouldn't okay so i wouldn't get fined but let's let's talk ask you +[1684.78 --> 1689.02] about it they could request you to leave the store okay because that's a physical premises but they can't +[1689.02 --> 1693.74] arrest you you haven't left the store yet what can they do they can follow you around but then that's +[1693.74 --> 1699.74] their private property so that's allowed yeah i don't think there's an equivalent to this no i love to +[1699.74 --> 1703.82] hear from the twitch chat guys let us know especially if there's like a loss prevention agent +[1704.46 --> 1710.62] dion7dusk lol grocery police lol if there's a loss prevention agent out there that actually knows +[1710.62 --> 1716.78] the like shoving stuff yeah we'd love to hear about that because i don't what's up like okay +[1716.78 --> 1720.70] so what's the equivalent like my mom does this i know a lot of people that do this kind of stuff +[1720.70 --> 1725.66] where they're like go grab a drink from the fridge in a store and just drink the whole thing before +[1725.66 --> 1730.78] they're done leaving the store and then just buy it yeah i you know the funny thing about that is it's +[1730.78 --> 1737.98] always made me really uncomfortable even when i was a kid i hate it i might know my aunt my aunt would +[1737.98 --> 1743.98] often say you know hey are you thirsty you know here here get this and start drinking it and i'd be +[1743.98 --> 1748.06] like no i don't want to drink it till we leave and she'd be like well we're shopping like what if my +[1748.06 --> 1753.50] card doesn't work we're shopping we're not leaving so awkward i'm not even worried about that although +[1753.50 --> 1759.74] i did have a really awkward situation at uh tim hortons where i i forgot my wallet and my wife forgot her +[1759.74 --> 1767.82] wallet and we were in vancouver and i had already placed my order and i was like oh crap i forgot my wallet can +[1767.82 --> 1772.38] i run out to the car and grab my wife's so when i come back she's got my order ready for me and i'm +[1772.38 --> 1779.42] like yo dog i'm sorry my wife doesn't have her wallet either i have to go i think i made it up to them +[1779.42 --> 1784.38] i went and i borrowed some money from a relative who lives in vancouver and then i went all the way back +[1784.38 --> 1789.42] to that tim hortons even though it was out of my way i was like i have cash now you know but i still +[1789.42 --> 1795.34] they probably had to throw at least some of it away like i feel terrible um anyway sorry what were we +[1795.34 --> 1800.38] talking about uh stealing stuff from stores uh drinking things before you leave right i just +[1800.38 --> 1806.62] feel weird about it i remember that i just yeah yeah i i i don't do it i know my i i think my mom +[1806.62 --> 1810.38] does a little bit i know other people that i go shopping with have done it and even with that when +[1810.38 --> 1815.98] i'm with someone who's doing it i feel super uncomfortable i don't know why it's just i'm not +[1815.98 --> 1822.62] really into that at all they have to have you on video someone has to watch you put it in your pocket +[1822.62 --> 1826.54] they can follow you and watch you but you have not broken the law until you attempt to leave the +[1826.54 --> 1831.42] store without paying okay so there you go perfectly reasonable because you should be able to go around +[1831.42 --> 1837.90] a shopping center without a basket or shopping cart right i mean they can ask you to leave your bag at +[1837.90 --> 1843.42] the front yeah so i usually and they can ask you to leave the store yep yeah it is there it is their +[1843.42 --> 1851.98] right to do that yeah we have 5 000 live viewers right now who are tuned into our stream which is +[1851.98 --> 1859.50] like super late like two and a half hours two hours late like janky janky quality don't know anything +[1859.50 --> 1864.62] about the topics in the middle we have no we have no lighting other than like the terrible fluorescent +[1864.62 --> 1870.62] lighting in this board room yeah and uh and you know what guys thanks for showing up we love your +[1870.62 --> 1875.42] support that's really cool we appreciate you guys you guys are cool speaking of things that aren't +[1875.42 --> 1883.74] cool is comcast has um has a past of being against tor and is listed on tor's bad isp project list thing +[1883.74 --> 1891.10] all right so well as if uh as if comcast was not listed on a good one good isp list come on +[1891.98 --> 1897.74] anyways i still have to point that out but all right um so this next topic is from and then there was +[1897.74 --> 1903.74] one as well original article is from venture beat so the nsa is mapping the internet i'm not sure if +[1903.74 --> 1911.74] this is news but uh nsa stuff just like assume anything you could ever dream of that's like bad +[1911.74 --> 1915.90] and on the internet just be like yeah the nsa probably has something to do with that so the program is +[1915.90 --> 1921.26] trying to create an interactive map of the global internet in close to real time that would try to +[1921.26 --> 1926.54] identify the devices through which data flows such as routers the program is supposed to help in +[1926.54 --> 1932.46] computer attack and exploit planning offering a battlefield map for cyber warfare targeted +[1932.46 --> 1939.74] companies sounds good yeah yeah yeah so targeted companies include a deutsche telecom the owner of t-mobile +[1939.74 --> 1948.22] and uh the german isp net cologne so pretty cool nsa you guys are just staying cool this is interesting +[1948.22 --> 1954.62] because germany was already pissed off yeah i know right about tapping into uh what's her name's phone +[1955.74 --> 1962.78] so it'd be pretty interesting this next one literally know nothing about it are we gonna do this one are +[1962.78 --> 1969.74] we gonna jump over it yeah no uh yeah let's let's let's go ahead so uh apple's warrant canary disappears +[1970.30 --> 1977.02] uh suggesting new patriot act demand so this was originally posted by lolz on the forum we don't have an actual +[1977.02 --> 1981.98] link though yeah it's okay okay the original article is from gig ohm so if you want to just maybe post +[1981.98 --> 1987.50] that link in the in the chat so apple's first transparency report on government activity in late +[1987.50 --> 1994.94] 2013 included a footnote that stated apple has never received an order under section 215 of the usa patriot act +[1994.94 --> 2001.74] we would expect to challenge such an order if served on us um so writer and cyber activist corey doctorow +[2001.74 --> 2007.98] uh recognized that language as a warrant canary or a way of thwarting the secrecy imposed by the +[2007.98 --> 2013.82] patriot act companies and publishers have included these canaries to signal to their users that so far +[2013.82 --> 2019.58] they have not been subjected to a given type of secret subpoena by law enforcement when this language +[2019.58 --> 2023.66] is removed it is likely that the situation has changed and the company has been subject to such a +[2023.66 --> 2029.74] request but of course is being told that they can't say anything about it so having that canary in +[2029.74 --> 2036.46] place protects them and their users as long as people are paying attention so section 215 of the +[2036.46 --> 2041.34] patriot act permits the nsa to demand companies to hand over their business records in secret +[2042.14 --> 2052.06] it is believed that it is the legal foundation of the prism program so yeah not good not good +[2052.06 --> 2058.78] mind you this uh this comes uh this comes out around the same time as apple's um recent change to the +[2058.78 --> 2064.78] way they handle user data which is awesome which is pretty awesome that basically in a nutshell means +[2064.78 --> 2073.34] that if your phone is locked even apple cannot get to it um so that is is pretty much their way of +[2073.34 --> 2079.34] throwing up their hands and going well okay you served us a warrant for something we legitimately can +[2079.34 --> 2085.66] access so peace bro i really like that that's really cool and i actually know a lot of people that are +[2085.66 --> 2091.98] pretty heavy android users that might legitimately switch just because of that reason it's it's a +[2091.98 --> 2096.22] reason to switch it's kind of a big deal i'd like to see how google responds to this yeah because i you +[2096.22 --> 2101.26] know the way that the way that google is about data farming they want all your data they want all your +[2101.26 --> 2106.54] data they want it all the time and they want it all the time i got to feel like if google were to +[2106.54 --> 2111.98] decide that they were going to leave your data alone when your phone is locked would be that would be +[2111.98 --> 2118.22] very out of character for them so i don't know they might put them in a bit of an awkward position +[2119.34 --> 2125.82] all right so this was originally posted on the forum by ion bassa the world's first fully functional 3d +[2125.82 --> 2132.46] printed car this was bound to happen yeah you gotta bet that there were any number of people working on +[2132.46 --> 2140.54] making this happen oh my god you can download a car so it was designed printed and driven by arizona based +[2140.54 --> 2147.34] local motors printing and assembly took just 44 hours hey local motors these are the guys that make +[2147.34 --> 2152.70] that uh trike thing that i'm hoping to get all right uh for the for review don't worry about it +[2153.58 --> 2160.38] probably won't even happen but yeah after 44 hours hours the car was drivable it's named the strati so +[2160.38 --> 2167.58] italian for layers electric powered it's a two-seat compact roadster it has a battery a motor wiring and +[2167.58 --> 2174.94] suspension these all came from a variety of sources including ronal's tweezy city car twizey yeah i don't +[2174.94 --> 2182.70] know yeah i'm clearly tired and i apologize for any words that i'm slurring or or pronouncing incorrectly +[2182.70 --> 2190.62] because i'm just not processors yeah gtx processors um chassis and body are printed from a carbon fiber +[2190.62 --> 2197.26] reinforced plastic compound it has only 40 parts to it in comparison to a normal car with 20 000 or more +[2197.26 --> 2203.42] parts this is actually this ties into a conversation we had earlier today where we were talking about +[2203.42 --> 2210.46] how electric cars right now are very expensive but once they become more of a commodity item and and +[2210.46 --> 2217.02] less of a less of a curiosity less high tech i expect them to actually be much cheaper not even necessarily +[2217.02 --> 2223.10] that but once battery production goes up because that gigafactory that tell us uh tell us oh no right +[2223.10 --> 2229.50] oh you have sullied the good name of tesla by calling them tell us i feel like a horrible person +[2230.22 --> 2236.38] you are a horrible person the gigafactory that tesla is intending to uh build in nevada will actually +[2236.38 --> 2243.02] produce more of that type of battery than all of the other factories in the entire world combined right now +[2243.02 --> 2249.58] yeah yeah which is like ridiculous so with battery production going up to that extent i am expecting and +[2249.58 --> 2257.66] and based just based on how simple yeah an electric car is compared to an internal combustion car i mean +[2257.66 --> 2264.14] i i think i think gas powered vehicles are going to look stupid to my kids by the time they're old +[2264.14 --> 2270.86] enough to be adults buying a car it's it's going to be this it's going to be this weird you know eccentric +[2270.86 --> 2276.54] thing to do to own a fossil fuel powered vehicle i really do think so i think that we're still going to +[2276.54 --> 2283.82] continue to see fossil fuels augment battery power so having a small you know lawn mower like rider mower +[2283.82 --> 2288.14] class uh internal combustion engine in there to charge the battery in an emergency or whatever else +[2288.14 --> 2294.78] i think we're going to continue to see that but expecting cars to just run on gas i i don't know +[2294.78 --> 2299.98] industrial vehicles potentially especially being down here actually is pretty amazing while we were +[2299.98 --> 2309.10] coming to nvidia headquarters i saw on the road at least uh 10 different electric cars and like not +[2309.10 --> 2313.82] just teslas because this area is known for teslas a whole wide range of them so that was actually +[2313.82 --> 2321.58] really interesting to see um the 3d printed car will cost anywhere between 18 and 30 000 though so +[2323.42 --> 2329.82] right now the materials alone are probably what's driving up the cost i mean just plain plastic filament +[2330.14 --> 2335.18] nothing special about it incredibly expensive you buy enough of that stuff to build a car +[2335.18 --> 2339.02] you're gonna be spending a lot of money now you talk about carbon fiber reinforced filament +[2340.94 --> 2346.46] yeah um and also it's it's going to be such low volume at the beginning that you're not going to +[2346.46 --> 2352.14] be able to take advantage of local motors is kind of a specialty kind of shop so it's not surprising +[2352.14 --> 2357.26] i mean if they were producing a thousand times as many of them i think we would see prices drop pretty +[2357.26 --> 2360.94] considerable and i'm sure if you work with them it's going to be a very personalized experience as +[2360.94 --> 2365.98] well this is kind of cool too uh the cost might seem high at first but many of the parts can be +[2365.98 --> 2372.14] reused when you decide to trade change cars or upgrade so uh yeah i'm guessing things like the +[2372.14 --> 2378.62] motor could potentially be reused if you decide to you know uh okay i want a single seater type vehicle +[2378.62 --> 2382.86] i don't see any reason why you couldn't put it inside a different 3d printed vehicle yeah or a very +[2382.86 --> 2387.82] different angle whereas like if your battery is running kind of crap you can swap the battery out +[2387.82 --> 2391.90] keep using the chassis and the motor and all that goes up or if the motor dies for some reason you can +[2391.90 --> 2397.82] keep using the battery in the chassis and that's another thing to that's that's really cool about +[2397.82 --> 2405.34] the simplicity of an electric vehicle is i think the scariness of of car mechanic work is is going to +[2405.34 --> 2409.82] go away to a great extent i mean tesla showed off what they swap a battery in 90 seconds 90 seconds +[2409.82 --> 2414.62] like and that's that like huge battery on the bottom yeah so if they can do it in 90 seconds +[2414.62 --> 2419.74] i'm sure i can do it in an hour yeah you know yeah yeah i think i can probably handle this i think +[2419.74 --> 2425.90] you'd have to uh i think you could do it if you had a torque driver that's it i think that's the only +[2425.90 --> 2429.34] thing you really need wow because you have to be able to torque in the screws to a very specific +[2429.34 --> 2435.10] right and then i think yeah but you can you can you can buy one of those for what like 40 bucks at +[2435.10 --> 2438.94] canadian tire maybe 50 bucks honestly it's not even that bad i think that's all you actually need you need to be a +[2438.94 --> 2443.26] jack up the car okay and then a torque driver i think that's all you need wow that's outstanding +[2443.26 --> 2448.38] obviously not entirely sure but as i don't think anyone has tried doing it themselves but +[2449.98 --> 2455.98] anyways as far as i know that's all you'll need all right so this was originally posted by tech fanatic +[2455.98 --> 2461.90] on the forum and uh this this this is this is actually pretty funny i haven't found out if this +[2461.90 --> 2466.94] ever happened yeah because we weren't at a public event yeah we weren't at the public event down in +[2466.94 --> 2475.66] uh down in la but uh there was an email sent out by amd to their team red members ready to infiltrate +[2475.66 --> 2482.62] game 24 um mentions the warm reception from enthusiasts about their recent amd 30 live webcast +[2483.90 --> 2488.94] mentioned that we're intrigued that another graphics products company uh jumped on the bandwagon by +[2488.94 --> 2494.06] announcing a similar event they warmly encouraged their fans to attend the event proudly wearing their +[2494.06 --> 2500.30] favorite red t-shirt and uh encourage their viewers to tweet pictures of themselves wearing their colors +[2500.30 --> 2509.26] at the events and i promise to send some love the way of their users um i haven't i haven't actually been +[2509.26 --> 2514.62] tuned into the internet enough to know if anything happened so honestly anytime i was i was dual streaming +[2514.62 --> 2521.02] our own stream to talk to the chat so i haven't really seen the actual game 24 stream in its entirety i know +[2521.02 --> 2527.74] i haven't even seen the intro videos for the modders whose builds we were covering the creation of for +[2527.74 --> 2533.42] the last 24 hours so um you know what we've got to do uh before we end the show here guys we're going +[2533.42 --> 2538.06] to do our sponsors next i think then we've got a few more topics but before we end the show we're +[2538.06 --> 2542.86] gonna we're gonna pick up the camera off the tripod because uh i think we have the flexibility to do that +[2542.86 --> 2546.54] here there should be no reason we can't move it and we're gonna we're gonna come and we're gonna take a +[2546.54 --> 2552.30] close look at these rigs because they are absolutely beautiful you guys are gonna you guys are gonna +[2552.30 --> 2557.34] love them i am amazed at what these teams did in 24 hours how much uh battery life we're running at +[2557.34 --> 2562.78] right now uh we are sitting at around 45 minutes okay yeah we're we're we're cool we're we're running +[2562.78 --> 2566.94] we're running good just want to make sure yeah i don't have uh i don't have another i don't have an ac +[2566.94 --> 2574.14] adapter for the camera so we we can we're very limited by battery life right now yeah yeah so sponsor +[2574.14 --> 2578.94] spots you said yeah yeah let's go ahead and uh do do you want to do you want to change

deeper if you are more experienced or if you want +[2674.14 --> 2679.66] to get something off the ground now and then learn as you go and continue to develop your mobile site +[2679.66 --> 2687.74] whether it's a blog or a store or just a portfolio or really anything just an informational website that +[2687.74 --> 2693.90] you want to run and what's really cool about squarespace is uh what are we are we still are we +[2693.90 --> 2697.74] still working that looks frozen yes it's frozen because i'm screen regioning whenever you're screen +[2697.74 --> 2704.06] regioning oh cool okay that's good so uh one really cool thing about what squarespace does for the linus +[2704.06 --> 2711.58] tech tips uh wanshow podcast is every single month they sponsor us without fail they sponsor two episodes +[2711.58 --> 2716.70] a month they give us a lot of support so guys if you're if you know anyone who's looking for our website +[2716.70 --> 2721.02] they want to make their own website refer them to squarespace you won't regret it they won't regret +[2721.02 --> 2726.06] it so there's all that good stuff and what's even cooler than that is if you decide to give squarespace +[2726.06 --> 2731.82] a try they have a two-week trial no commitment required two-week trial you create your own website +[2731.82 --> 2738.14] if you decide to do that create your own website and tweet it to me with hashtag line of squarespace +[2738.14 --> 2747.58] we give away an entire year of squarespace hosted website for uh once every single month so forever +[2747.58 --> 2755.34] fresh fresh is our winner for this month so let's go ahead and get that up on the screen if luke could +[2755.34 --> 2759.74] go ahead and uh i think we're having some trouble because the resolution of the desktop was so crazy +[2759.74 --> 2767.74] high oh that makes sense freaked out we are streaming on a 3k notebook right now it's an aorus x3 +[2768.70 --> 2774.94] so um yeah we're not really sure how to handle the screen region capturing +[2775.66 --> 2780.54] right now at this moment so can you just make the browser small and make a smaller screen +[2781.10 --> 2787.82] i tried that region doesn't seem to want it this is what happens when we change all the streaming +[2787.82 --> 2795.26] gears so the point is guys go squarespace thank you forever fresh for uh for tweeting that to me with +[2795.26 --> 2799.98] hashtag line of squarespace you are the big winner for this month cool thing another cool thing about +[2799.98 --> 2804.78] squarespace is they have highly dynamic hosting plans they take care of all the hosting for you and +[2804.78 --> 2809.74] as your business or your blog continues to grow it can scale with you and grow with you you never have +[2809.74 --> 2814.78] to worry about things not working and people having a bad experience when they come to your website +[2815.42 --> 2820.94] so uh are you just doing a snipping tool of it all right well i'm going to move on to our next sponsor +[2820.94 --> 2825.98] spot in the meantime unless you're unless you're ready to just kind of kind of go for gold here +[2827.02 --> 2833.34] there we go fandom glass is another sponsor that we actually we love these guys oh yeah these guys are +[2833.34 --> 2837.98] one of those companies where most of the time when someone reaches out to me out of the blue and they go +[2837.98 --> 2843.74] hey we have this like mobile accessory it's like a screen protector and we want you to review it +[2843.74 --> 2850.86] did the devices turn off oh do you want it's motion sensitive oh yeah awesome so we have this screen +[2850.86 --> 2854.94] protector that we want you guys to review i kind of look at it and i go oh are you guys kidding we don't +[2854.94 --> 2861.26] we're not gonna we're not gonna do an entire review video of a screen protector because one it's a screen +[2861.26 --> 2868.38] protector and two they're mostly garbage but these guys reached out and i kind of went okay you're canadian so +[2868.38 --> 2875.66] i'll give my canadian bros a chance here i'm gonna i'm gonna at least read the email and then i kind +[2875.66 --> 2881.74] of made my way through the email i went that's actually smart because the whole idea behind phantom +[2881.74 --> 2889.66] glass is that you're using the same gorilla glass 3 glass that's already on your phone as a protective +[2889.66 --> 2895.34] layer over top of your phone and so i kind of went okay send it to me and i may or may not review it it's +[2895.34 --> 2902.54] going to depend on how much i like it so they sent it to me and their claim was that their nano coding +[2902.54 --> 2909.42] whatever nonsense that they call it would allow the screen to be applied bubble free every time +[2909.42 --> 2917.82] and allow it to be taken off and reapplied should the need arise and i kind of went bs okay okay sure +[2917.82 --> 2922.78] and so the first time i was applying it when i was doing my review video i was like super careful and +[2922.78 --> 2927.34] like you know making my way down the screen pressing across it and i was like okay i got this on i got +[2927.34 --> 2931.58] this on perfect cool and then for the second one they actually sent me two of them i just put it on +[2932.30 --> 2937.50] all the bubbles made their way out it actually made for a pretty compelling video and phantom glass +[2937.50 --> 2943.74] reached out to us because of our review and you know how how well we were able to we were able to +[2943.74 --> 2947.50] capture on video how well the product worked and they were like hey we want to sponsor you guys we +[2947.50 --> 2953.82] want to work with you guys so sometimes these these random things start up like that anyway the point +[2953.82 --> 2959.10] is phantom glass is a great product and all of a sudden we've went from we've gone from they sent us +[2959.10 --> 2964.62] a random email and i kind of turned my nose up at them to now we consider them a partner we think it's +[2964.62 --> 2971.50] a great product absolutely great product and highly recommend it so visit store.phantom.glass to learn more +[2971.50 --> 2977.98] we gotta we gotta jump back to the squarespace one all right i want to give forever phrase yeah we +[2977.98 --> 2981.82] want to we want to give this website some props i mean the thing about squarespace is that it's pretty +[2981.82 --> 2986.86] easy to make your site look great but it still is a matter of you know picking a good template and +[2987.42 --> 2991.66] picking photos that look really nice you know i wish we could navigate on it because some of the +[2991.66 --> 2996.38] people who submit these uh these these trial sites to us they don't really put much work into it and +[2996.38 --> 3001.34] this one actually you can navigate it fair bit sorry man so guys on the stream you know please do please do +[3001.34 --> 3005.98] check out the site and if you like it then then maybe give squarespace a try all i could really +[3005.98 --> 3015.50] do is get that so yeah i know man there we go okay all right sandisk this is this is crazy sandisk +[3015.50 --> 3027.58] announced the world's biggest sd card at 512 gigabytes literally half the size of the largest consumer grade +[3027.58 --> 3033.42] full-size ssds and we're talking an sd card it can have right at speeds of up to 90 megabytes per +[3033.42 --> 3041.66] second and should be able to hold about four hours of 4k footage or 24 hours of 1080p footage depending on +[3041.66 --> 3050.14] settings this is according to geek.com has an msrp of 800 dollars actually not that unreasonable i know but +[3050.14 --> 3055.82] it's for an sd card i know how many we have that die okay okay you know what though funny that you should +[3055.82 --> 3062.14] mention that we've never had a sand disk die it's true we've never had a sand disk die uh we've never +[3062.14 --> 3068.78] had an a data die so you know if i was and it's it's it's so funny because sd cards are one of those +[3068.78 --> 3074.70] very simple devices where brand loyalty much like hard drives gets built just based on someone's +[3074.70 --> 3079.82] personal experience and based on that extensive experience we we do have a fair bit of experience +[3079.82 --> 3085.66] obviously the overall pool is still very very small and not statistically significant no but that +[3085.66 --> 3090.78] doesn't change the fact that when you when you go through enough a data or sandisk sd cards and +[3090.78 --> 3097.02] none of them die you kind of go okay well maybe we'll use some more then and it's working out yeah +[3097.26 --> 3105.02] it's doing really well actually ah the logitech g910 i keep on getting messages about this and i have +[3105.02 --> 3112.62] no idea what's going on this is posted by x tank slayer and basically logitech is working on our well it +[3112.62 --> 3122.14] has announced um an rgp mechanical gaming keyboard based on romer g mechanical switches so it is it is +[3122.14 --> 3130.54] funny to see the way the industry went from consolidating to everyone just shipping clones of cherry mx switch +[3130.54 --> 3136.78] keyboards to everyone trying to differentiate again all of a sudden so razors going to their uh their +[3136.78 --> 3145.90] razer branded switches that are being manufactured in china um corsair is still is still playing the uh +[3145.90 --> 3151.74] the cherry mx trumpet pretty hardcore in fact they've started putting cherry branding right on their +[3151.74 --> 3158.62] packaging that partnership is alive and well logitech who to my knowledge has only done one mechanical +[3158.62 --> 3165.90] gaming keyboard g710 plus has gone and released what looks to be positioned as a higher-end product +[3166.54 --> 3173.26] with romer g switches now so do you know where those are coming from no i know nothing i know +[3173.26 --> 3177.34] absolutely nothing about romer g switches obviously i haven't been able to really spend a lot of time +[3177.34 --> 3182.22] trying to figure it out uh because the most amount of information i've seen about this is in this dock +[3182.22 --> 3189.82] right now yeah so i've uh i've been a little busy with my k70 rgb which has a 130 plus page user manual by the +[3189.82 --> 3196.22] way this this is like the not for noobs keyboard as far as i can tell so far although i made my way +[3196.22 --> 3201.18] through about the first 40 pages on the flight here and most of it is pretty self-explanatory well there's +[3201.18 --> 3206.22] that once once you get to it there's that like full light control panel thing that's going to be +[3206.22 --> 3212.86] complicated yeah and that'll probably be complicated so uh logitech's going to have their arcs control sdk +[3212.86 --> 3216.62] that's going to allow you to control your peripherals from your phone screen dpi etc +[3220.22 --> 3225.02] okay and show system information gonna have media controls for tablets or smartphones +[3225.02 --> 3229.98] uh logitech is sending us a g910 okay so i've already been in touch and we are we are going to +[3229.98 --> 3236.06] definitely try it out and uh really interested to learn more about the switches see i mean they're +[3236.06 --> 3242.54] rating them for more clicks which for me you know going okay well ours is 70 million keystrokes versus +[3242.54 --> 3248.06] your 50 million keystrokes it's all kind of especially when academic especially mechanical switches it's +[3248.06 --> 3256.46] like yeah these don't really break yeah i mean i think cherry's braiding a 50 million is probably pretty +[3256.46 --> 3264.46] conservative yeah yeah i don't know this sounds all right really cool i think you just skipped over it +[3264.46 --> 3269.74] with your cursor but bleep bit torrent no i'm on that originally posted by ray fee on the forum +[3269.74 --> 3276.54] original articles from the verge.com and bit torrent is determined to get rid of the stigma and that's +[3276.54 --> 3282.62] good because they don't deserve it no so so tell us about tell us about bleep i honestly know nothing +[3282.62 --> 3288.14] about it this is the first time i've seen anything about it but the second i read any information about +[3288.14 --> 3294.38] it so it's it's it's it's basically a chat client where it's practically impossible quote unquote +[3294.38 --> 3299.98] to gather metadata on who's talking and it will be available for windows 7 8 mac android ios clients +[3300.94 --> 3306.38] basically everything the second i read that which is basically all i really needed to know it's also in +[3306.38 --> 3312.30] public alpha by the way i i'm pretty stoked and i might move a lot of things to this platform if it +[3312.30 --> 3320.46] actually works really well because not a fan of skype yeah hate it but it's the only thing that i could +[3320.46 --> 3327.02] seem to be able to get everyone on at the same time and everyone has the same complaints about it +[3327.02 --> 3331.90] which this might be able to solve right which would be great so i hope they have stuff like group chats +[3331.90 --> 3338.06] which would be very important for stuff that i do um and i i don't know it would be really easy really +[3338.06 --> 3343.02] interesting to see maybe if they have um voice chat as well i know pretty much an eye on it i mean +[3343.02 --> 3348.46] we've seen how quickly bit torrent sync is moving oh my goodness yeah so bit torrent sync is changing +[3348.46 --> 3353.02] really fast so that's their that's their kind of i don't want to call it a dropbox competitor +[3353.58 --> 3359.58] because it's not but it has some similar functionality to cloud-based storage solutions like dropbox except +[3359.58 --> 3364.22] you control your own cloud and that's what that's what bit torrent is all about maintaining your +[3364.22 --> 3370.06] anonymity and your privacy and controlling your own data and you got to respect that as a company +[3370.06 --> 3374.62] mission statement apparently from comcast you are illegal and should get off their service +[3374.62 --> 3381.98] yeah speaking of illegal uh the pirate bay founder told he can expect to carry his father's coffin +[3381.98 --> 3388.30] while wearing handcuffs this is this is pretty gross um there's only 50 days left on his sentence and +[3388.30 --> 3394.54] his brother matt has spoken out for uh for apparently the first time the original articles from torrentfreak.com +[3394.54 --> 3399.26] has spoken out for the first time in his brother's favor saying you know i've deliberately said very little +[3399.26 --> 3407.74] partly because he can speak for himself um but i feel like the the justice system has forgotten about +[3407.74 --> 3414.70] its job to support prisoners to ensure that they don't return to prison and even though uh their father +[3414.70 --> 3419.34] has been seriously ill for some time and was admitted to the hospital in the summer peter has only been +[3419.34 --> 3424.06] able to visit his father once and has been told he's allowed to attend his father's funeral but two guards +[3424.06 --> 3430.06] will accompany him and he will have to wear handcuffs and um his his brother basically is speaking out +[3430.06 --> 3434.54] against this sorry give us one moment is speaking out against this saying well the problem with this +[3434.54 --> 3440.22] is that it punishes not only him but also me and my mother and my dead father and everyone that's going +[3440.22 --> 3444.94] to be at the funeral and everyone who's going to be at the funeral doesn't feel fair the optics on that +[3444.94 --> 3451.18] are going to be horrible yep google seizes nexus 5 production this was posted by top wargamer on the +[3451.18 --> 3455.98] forum original article is from slash gear this came from canadian wireless carrier wind mobile's +[3455.98 --> 3461.02] customer support via twitter a customer asked why they don't list the nexus 5 on their device page +[3461.02 --> 3464.22] and win said well because it's no longer being made and we don't have any stock +[3465.90 --> 3472.94] samsung to build its own mobile gpu uh this is posted on fudzilla.com i wonder if that'll be more +[3472.94 --> 3479.18] more uh suing from nvidia interesting samsung has managed to hire x nvidia amd and intel employees nothing +[3479.18 --> 3483.10] has been announced yet the development has apparently been going on for at least two years +[3485.66 --> 3490.14] all right i think we're pretty much going to have to call that one quick thing before we go actually +[3490.14 --> 3493.74] because i know quite a few of my friends are really excited about this is that twitch announces its +[3493.74 --> 3500.30] google chromecast yes posted by raphi on the forum uh the original source is blog.twitch.tv this is +[3500.30 --> 3506.70] exciting yeah so there's there's honestly not a ton else to say but it's sweet yeah so now you can you can +[3506.70 --> 3512.30] you can watch the wan show on your tv with your chromecast yeah yeah next week because this one's +[3512.30 --> 3518.86] basically over yeah um so i do want to i do want to pick up the camera there i think i think we're +[3518.86 --> 3522.94] being kicked out because it's time for everyone to go to dinner and i'm sure everyone's just kind of +[3522.94 --> 3531.26] somehow manipulate i'm tired in general uh yeah sure so um you know what oh i don't have i don't have my +[3531.26 --> 3537.74] lav mic unfortunately so you know

+[12.08 --> 18.72] 25 minutes! My favorite thing ever is that, like, every time you're gone, we're always five minutes early. +[20.40 --> 28.12] Well, I was fixing a problem that maybe had you been more on the ball and proactive, we wouldn't have had. +[28.12 --> 35.10] You're the one that insisted on having the computer streaming that had a zap strap around the heat sink so that it could keep running. +[35.34 --> 42.76] That zap strap is incredibly reliable technology. Plastic never fails. Plastic holds together. +[42.98 --> 43.90] Plastic never fails? +[43.94 --> 47.60] Unless UV. Then plastic fails very quickly. +[48.46 --> 56.96] So guys, basically what happened is last week we had Paul and Kyle, formerly of Newegg TV, on, and we were dropping frames like mad. +[56.96 --> 66.96] It was terrible during the stream. So I realized about half an hour before today's stream was supposed to start that we had a guest Skyping in this week. +[66.96 --> 67.96] We hadn't built the computer yet. +[67.96 --> 76.96] We hadn't actually swapped out the CPU. We had done nothing to make the computer actually work and not drop frames all over the freaking place. +[76.96 --> 87.96] So I actually did a motherboard, CPU, RAM swap, reinstalled all the capture cards, reconfigured XSplit because all the capture settings are messed up because they're all in different slots. +[87.96 --> 96.30] They've got different IDs now because when you have multiple capture cards, it'll arbitrarily, well, this is number one and this is two and this is three. +[96.48 --> 100.12] So if that changes, XSplit doesn't remember anything. We had to redo the color. +[100.50 --> 107.26] We've actually, this room has someone's chair in it and desk now because we've added another body here at Linus Media Group. +[107.26 --> 114.24] So we had to move the entire thing. It's a miracle we're live at all. But of course, what I really meant to say is, I'm sorry. +[115.64 --> 119.18] And thank you for tuning in and we're going to get on with the show now. +[119.26 --> 120.84] So we've got a lot of great topics today. +[120.84 --> 121.04] That's such a genuine story. +[121.04 --> 127.90] Windows, not, excuse me, 10, 10, Windows 10. There's a technical preview. You can go ahead and download it. +[128.18 --> 136.62] We'll talk a little bit about what's new in Windows 10 or more specifically, what is old and not the new thing that we hated anymore. +[137.10 --> 142.96] Also, Tesla is pretty sure that when they show you the D, they are, you are going to want it. +[143.14 --> 143.36] I do. +[143.92 --> 144.64] I want the D. +[144.64 --> 148.52] From what I can see so far, just like the head peeking out, I want the D. +[149.26 --> 149.70] Wow. +[151.04 --> 151.48] I can't. +[151.54 --> 152.72] That's the picture they've launched. +[153.22 --> 155.70] Okay, why don't you just go ahead and talk about our other topics? +[156.08 --> 159.36] Scott Wasson will be live with us very soon, so we'll have him on the show. +[159.44 --> 160.26] From the tech report? +[160.44 --> 161.02] Yeah, man. +[161.22 --> 166.42] Samsung will be creating 14 nanometer chips for AMD, which Scott Wasson will probably talk about. +[166.58 --> 167.62] Yeah, I would think so. +[167.72 --> 171.66] In fact, I think that's going to be a great topic for us to pick his brain about. +[171.66 --> 178.26] Yep. Project R will have hot swap modules with a Google Play-like store where you'll be able to buy all their stuff super easily. +[178.26 --> 182.88] And you'll even be able to probably swap out their battery without fully turning off your phone. +[182.94 --> 185.70] Think of Project Aura, kind of like a multi-bit screwdriver. +[186.42 --> 190.72] You see, I could have kept using this screwdriver while I swapped component. +[190.84 --> 191.66] Well, okay, not quite. +[191.76 --> 192.68] Okay, Project Aura? +[193.68 --> 194.94] Better than a screwdriver. +[195.34 --> 196.62] Better than a multi-bit screwdriver. +[197.70 --> 199.04] Except when you need a screwdriver. +[199.26 --> 200.22] Let's roll the stupid intro. +[200.22 --> 230.04] All right, so we had no audio for the first part of this, and I'm supposed to be introducing our sponsors. +[230.04 --> 231.40] We had no razors for today, so. +[231.78 --> 232.84] No intro audio at all. +[232.98 --> 233.46] No intro. +[233.64 --> 234.02] Oh, what? +[234.08 --> 234.60] No, I had it. +[235.14 --> 236.40] Apparently, they didn't. +[236.68 --> 236.90] Oh. +[237.50 --> 238.40] I could hear them. +[238.58 --> 239.04] That's weird. +[239.84 --> 240.80] Well, at any rate. +[241.16 --> 242.00] Dollar Shave Club. +[242.54 --> 244.90] Save time, shave money with Dollar Shave Club. +[245.16 --> 252.54] You get high-quality razors delivered directly to your door, and later on in the show, I'll tell you more about it if you don't already know how amazing it is. +[252.54 --> 252.94] Shapers. +[252.94 --> 254.16] Also, Squarespace. +[254.56 --> 262.26] The fast, easy, cost-effective, and I guess easy is really the big one way to make your own beautiful website. +[262.46 --> 270.28] Whether it's a blog or a portfolio or a store, they're adding more functionality all the time, always making it easier to use. +[270.62 --> 272.92] And you can get 10% off with offer code Linus. +[272.92 --> 277.70] So, big thanks to Dollar Shave Club and Squarespace for sponsoring today's show. +[277.90 --> 278.48] Look at this. +[278.54 --> 279.88] Look how fast I can move them around. +[280.26 --> 281.06] Oh, my God. +[281.08 --> 281.94] I can dance all day. +[282.00 --> 282.80] I can dance all day. +[282.86 --> 283.62] Look at my sponsors. +[283.80 --> 284.20] Sponsors. +[284.26 --> 285.56] Anyway, let's go back to us talking. +[285.56 --> 287.62] So, apparently, they did have audio, and people were just being trolls. +[289.40 --> 290.48] Twitch chat. +[292.06 --> 292.42] Horrible. +[292.42 --> 292.90] All right. +[293.00 --> 301.42] So, guys, we're not going to waste too much time because we told Scott he was going to be joining us at around 5 o'clock, and it is now 5 o'clock. +[301.50 --> 305.26] That was supposed to be half an hour into the show, but the show just started. +[305.72 --> 308.86] So, Scott, you're live. +[309.00 --> 310.26] Welcome to the show. +[310.44 --> 315.80] Want to do a quick introduction to who exactly this Scott guy is and why he's on their screens? +[317.70 --> 320.50] So, am I giving the introduction or are you giving the introduction? +[320.50 --> 322.10] I will introduce you. +[322.10 --> 322.50] Okay. +[322.68 --> 329.02] So, Scott is basically like a gray hair of the industry, you know? +[329.68 --> 329.80] Yeah. +[329.88 --> 330.32] Many gray hair. +[330.32 --> 334.40] I would have called him a gray beard, but I don't think he can grow a beard any more than I can. +[335.12 --> 335.96] It's not good. +[336.22 --> 336.38] Yeah. +[338.22 --> 344.04] So, guys, Scott is one of the most respected tech reviewers, tech writers in the industry. +[344.20 --> 347.28] He's been doing it a long time, like a really long time. +[347.36 --> 347.82] Sorry, Scott. +[347.88 --> 348.96] I'll stop with the old stuff. +[349.48 --> 351.20] But he's been doing it a long time. +[351.20 --> 352.20] You're not wrong. +[354.48 --> 356.02] He's extremely experienced. +[356.44 --> 361.66] And basically, if you wanted to get on, you know, a video call with someone and kind of, you know, +[361.74 --> 363.64] hey, can you talk technical to me? +[364.22 --> 365.12] You know, that kind of thing. +[365.34 --> 367.56] You would want Scott on your Skype. +[367.56 --> 370.08] So, we're going to hit some pretty hard tech topics. +[370.62 --> 374.52] And you guys can find him over at thetechreport.com. +[374.62 --> 378.22] They have lots of great articles about, I think, Furbies. +[378.22 --> 384.06] See, right when you said it fur, I thought you were going with, like, fur me. +[384.46 --> 385.62] And I was like, that's a little old. +[385.72 --> 387.60] So, I thought you were going in with the old jokes again. +[387.64 --> 389.04] I was like, that's not that old, though. +[389.20 --> 389.34] Yeah. +[389.72 --> 391.62] It's like, I don't know. +[391.88 --> 392.14] Nope. +[392.26 --> 392.58] Furby. +[392.58 --> 394.50] 3DFX SLI coverage. +[395.00 --> 397.52] Like a GeForce 4 review if you want to read it. +[398.00 --> 398.54] There you go. +[399.16 --> 399.84] There you go. +[400.26 --> 402.72] See, GeForce 4, to give you some idea. +[402.86 --> 409.08] So, back in the GeForce 4 days, I was still looking at, like, the local computer paper. +[409.28 --> 409.50] Yep. +[409.50 --> 413.98] And trying to figure out what an AGP was. +[416.68 --> 418.74] And you were reviewing graphics cards. +[418.90 --> 426.40] So, Scott, why don't we kick things off with actually something that we didn't really put in your guest section, as far as I know. +[426.48 --> 427.40] Have you heard the rumor? +[427.54 --> 428.62] Have you heard the news? +[429.14 --> 429.94] Sort of news. +[430.04 --> 430.48] We're not sure. +[430.58 --> 431.40] Rumor right now. +[431.40 --> 436.10] About AMD potentially partnering with Samsung to produce 14 nanometer chips. +[436.76 --> 437.00] Yes. +[437.00 --> 444.08] Yeah, and, you know, we wrote a story about this, and we asked AMD to comment, and I don't think they got back to us. +[445.08 --> 448.80] So, I'm not sure it's confirmed, but it makes sense for a couple reasons. +[450.08 --> 457.88] You know, AMD gets a lot of chips made at its own former fabs, run now by a company called Global Foundries. +[458.42 --> 458.62] Yeah. +[458.62 --> 466.90] And Glofo, as I like to call them, and they don't like that, but they've had some trouble getting to the next process node. +[467.00 --> 468.06] Shrinking their chips down. +[468.66 --> 472.20] And they are part of a common platform alliance. +[472.30 --> 474.98] They share technology with IBM and Samsung. +[475.72 --> 480.60] And so, these guys kind of work together to make things go. +[480.74 --> 482.80] And an unusual thing happened earlier this year. +[484.58 --> 489.76] Glofo licensed Samsung's 14 nanometer process from them. +[489.76 --> 494.70] And we think that probably, I think probably AMD was kind of behind that. +[494.70 --> 502.58] They didn't like Glofo's progress toward getting to that node, and Samsung had made it or gotten close. +[503.64 --> 506.46] And so, there was a sort of a technology transfer. +[506.78 --> 510.26] But now it sounds like maybe Samsung's going to just make chips directly for AMD. +[510.26 --> 513.94] So, here's kind of an interesting thing. +[514.02 --> 526.58] This would be the first time in, even as long as you've been covering tech, that someone might potentially be at the same level as Intel for an extended period of time. +[526.70 --> 531.20] I mean, Intel's, they're not that close to, or wait, excuse me. +[531.28 --> 533.56] So, they're on 14 now. +[533.56 --> 536.42] But they're not that close to 10, are they? +[536.50 --> 541.34] Like, we just heard about them announcing a 10 nanometer fab that they're building in. +[541.34 --> 541.96] Like a $6 billion project. +[541.98 --> 542.82] Yeah, in Israel. +[543.24 --> 549.78] But that means that AMD, Apple, Samsung could all be on the same process node as Intel for a little while here. +[550.84 --> 556.22] Well, it's, yeah, the hard part about that is that the other guys are still talking about 14. +[556.36 --> 559.26] And Intel has been shipping 14 in volume for a couple months. +[559.26 --> 565.10] And so, that, talking about it and getting there are different things. +[565.16 --> 568.24] I think Samsung has done some test chips and things like that. +[568.26 --> 570.10] I'm not completely up on the status of that. +[570.28 --> 574.24] But my sense is they're not yet shipping 14 nanometer stuff in volume. +[574.88 --> 579.00] At least not the types of chips that we're talking about them building for AMD. +[579.90 --> 584.68] So, yeah, it would be nice to think that everybody could catch up with Intel. +[585.12 --> 587.12] But, I don't know. +[587.12 --> 588.98] It hasn't happened for a long time. +[589.52 --> 592.22] And everybody's roadmap always says they're going to. +[592.70 --> 594.12] And then they never do it. +[594.66 --> 596.54] When was the last time? +[596.76 --> 597.92] You might remember this. +[599.40 --> 599.84] Wow. +[600.04 --> 600.90] I don't know. +[601.04 --> 602.88] Like, somewhere around 90 nanometers, maybe? +[603.74 --> 604.04] Right. +[604.14 --> 606.70] So, that was back in, what, Prescott days? +[607.20 --> 607.42] Yeah. +[607.50 --> 611.02] I mean, you remember the Intel Pentium 4 stuff wasn't great. +[611.02 --> 615.04] And their 90 nanometer process was somewhat leaky. +[615.28 --> 616.72] So, it consumed a lot of power. +[617.02 --> 619.02] They had a chip architecture problem, too. +[619.14 --> 620.78] But they had a lot of problems at the same time. +[620.96 --> 622.34] And manufacturing was one of them. +[622.84 --> 629.12] AMD had some goodness going on with copper interconnects and silicon on insulator and things like that. +[629.12 --> 640.82] And so, there was a time there when it wasn't entirely clear like it has been for the past four or five years that Intel was in the league compared to everybody else. +[640.94 --> 641.04] Right. +[641.04 --> 653.40] So, speaking of the kinds of chips that AMD would want someone like Samsung to build at 14 nanometer, there's rumors afoot of a new FX replacement. +[653.64 --> 661.30] Finally, a legitimate high-performance chip from AMD to replace the aging FX lineup. +[661.56 --> 663.60] So, is that what we're looking at here? +[663.74 --> 666.14] And if so, any idea when? +[666.32 --> 666.72] What do you think? +[666.72 --> 670.84] Well, I think the rumors are about APUs or SOCs. +[671.22 --> 677.40] And if you look at the time frame involved, it's got to be 2015, right? +[678.22 --> 684.80] So, if it's 2015, I'm not sure if that's soon enough for AMD to have a new core out. +[684.92 --> 686.28] But we know they have one in development. +[686.52 --> 688.58] The ARM version of it is called the K12. +[688.92 --> 690.74] And the x86 is, I think, called Xen. +[690.74 --> 706.12] And that's a new big core that my sense is that AMD is going to try to build something that will compete with the Haswells and Skylakes and whatever Intel has out by the time it ships a product. +[706.52 --> 709.14] I think we may be looking at 2016 for that core. +[709.14 --> 715.66] But I expect that when that core is ready, it will go into APUs and SOCs. +[716.16 --> 728.32] And so, if Samsung's making them, then you could have, assuming that Samsung does a good job at 14 nanometers, you could have a nice convergence of Samsung's process tech with the new CPU architecture from AMD. +[728.32 --> 730.46] So, tell me something. +[730.60 --> 737.56] I mean, we've seen, so, just a brief explanation for the viewers of how the cost structure of a CPU actually works. +[737.98 --> 743.70] It's all about how much, how many dyes you're going to get out of a wafer. +[743.90 --> 746.42] So, wafers are pretty much an industry standard size. +[746.42 --> 763.16] And if you build a CPU that maybe you put mountain loads of cache on and you put a ton of cores in it and you make one that's really big, ultimately, you have to buy a lot of these wafers in order to end up with X number of dyes out of that wafer. +[763.36 --> 767.56] Out of which some of them will be good and some of them will be corrupted and won't be usable. +[767.76 --> 769.18] Some of them will be partially usable. +[769.58 --> 773.00] So, maybe they'll have less cache or they'll be clocked lower or whatever else the case may be. +[773.00 --> 773.84] More skews out of those. +[773.84 --> 786.20] So, the way that processor manufacturers optimize for cost is they try to shrink all aspects of the chip so that they can fit more chips onto a wafer. +[786.76 --> 797.52] So, AMD, by being a process node or even two behind Intel, is at a huge disadvantage because they get far fewer chips out of these wafers. +[797.62 --> 799.68] So, their costs are inherently much higher. +[799.68 --> 813.00] If they reached process node parity and AMD was willing to take the kinds of margins that they've been taking on their CPUs for quite some time, Scott, do you think they could build a CPU? +[813.20 --> 814.44] Let's say not an APU. +[814.56 --> 820.04] Let's say an FX CPU because we've seen Intel spending so much of their die space on graphics. +[820.04 --> 832.08] If AMD built a CPU at the same process node as Intel and crammed that much more logic into it, could we see a legitimate leap forward in CPU performance the likes of which we haven't seen in four or five years? +[832.08 --> 862.06] That would be nice. +[862.08 --> 863.08] Yeah. +[863.08 --> 864.08] Right. +[864.08 --> 873.04] If it costs them $60 to make a chip and they sell it for $200 and it costs Intel $40 to make the same chip they sell for $200, it's still not bad business to be in. +[873.04 --> 873.30] Yeah. +[873.30 --> 873.80] Right. +[873.80 --> 876.94] And the thing is that, and that goes up too, right? +[877.02 --> 879.52] With Opterons and things like that, it can be thousands of dollars. +[879.90 --> 880.06] Right. +[880.06 --> 889.06] And I remember one time I was talking with, quizzing a guy with AMD about this, about, you know, but you're behind on process node and, you know, those are really big chips. +[889.06 --> 895.32] And one time they were taking two Opterons and putting them in the same socket on one substrate, you know. +[895.70 --> 898.64] And I said, that's, you know, that's really costly, isn't it? +[898.64 --> 906.58] And he said, yes, maybe, but every one of those Opterons that we sell for $1,200 is good business for AMD. +[907.08 --> 907.30] Yeah. +[907.38 --> 916.42] And so I think the key for AMD is to be able to offer a product that is a credible alternative to Intel that has attractive performance and power consumption. +[916.42 --> 923.94] And they don't have to win to be winning people's business and making money. +[925.00 --> 926.14] But they need to better than they are. +[926.14 --> 926.92] Yeah, but AMD hasn't been doing exactly amazing. +[926.92 --> 928.50] And I think that's the hope with the new core. +[930.52 --> 931.06] Go ahead. +[931.44 --> 934.62] AMD hasn't been doing exactly amazing with those profit margins there. +[934.76 --> 938.08] Not even that long ago, they were doing seriously not great. +[938.22 --> 941.26] And then with the new console launch, things have been turning up a little bit. +[941.26 --> 947.50] So I do agree with you, that is probably true, but it couldn't help getting onto a lower node and having more. +[947.52 --> 948.24] You mean it couldn't hurt. +[949.02 --> 949.88] It couldn't hurt. +[949.96 --> 950.54] There we go. +[950.66 --> 951.94] Couldn't possibly help them. +[952.42 --> 952.68] Right. +[952.84 --> 955.32] It's always good if you can get to a new process node. +[955.32 --> 959.92] And one thing that AMD kind of had to take a hit when they made their last transition, +[960.32 --> 966.90] because they went from a 32 nanometer process node designed for CPUs on the last generation, +[967.16 --> 970.22] to when they brought out Kaveri, they went to a 28 nanometer process node +[970.22 --> 974.12] that's really more tuned for low power, high density GPU type applications. +[974.66 --> 979.10] And as a result, they got less clock speed on the CPU portion of their APU +[979.10 --> 980.66] than they had in the prior generation. +[981.72 --> 988.34] And really what you want is you want a process tech that will give you all the benefits +[988.34 --> 993.34] that you can get out of better process tech, including faster switching speeds +[993.34 --> 994.52] so you can get to higher clocks. +[994.52 --> 999.92] And I think with Samsung going to 14 nanometers and going to FinFETs, +[1000.08 --> 1004.66] or Intel calls them tri-gate transistors, that there's a good possibility +[1004.66 --> 1009.78] that there could be a nice increase in switching speed at higher power levels, +[1009.96 --> 1013.36] which could translate into performance as well. +[1013.78 --> 1018.22] But honestly, I think architecture is their biggest need right now. +[1018.22 --> 1019.98] I don't think it's process tech. +[1020.56 --> 1022.88] Process tech is always something you have to be on top of, +[1023.10 --> 1026.64] but there are multiple options, different foundries they can go to, +[1026.94 --> 1028.96] and they're exercising that by going to Samsung. +[1029.36 --> 1033.14] But what they need is a good architecture to go along with it. +[1034.30 --> 1035.68] Well, I hope we see that. +[1035.84 --> 1040.54] I would love to see someone build a balls-to-the-wall CPU again. +[1040.54 --> 1045.16] The 5960X isn't enough for you? +[1045.84 --> 1048.88] Okay, the 5960X is pretty cool. +[1050.72 --> 1053.16] Okay, yes, the 5960X is pretty cool. +[1053.20 --> 1055.14] I'd like to see two of them fighting it out, though, right? +[1055.46 --> 1055.94] I mean... +[1055.94 --> 1058.56] Yes, I'd like to see it not $1,000 there. +[1058.96 --> 1059.18] Yeah, yeah. +[1059.24 --> 1059.40] Right. +[1060.28 --> 1060.58] Right. +[1061.72 --> 1064.24] You'd like to see that on the consumer platform +[1064.24 --> 1067.08] and have something even more badass on the enthusiast platform as well. +[1067.08 --> 1067.84] Right. +[1068.24 --> 1073.76] Well, like Intel did, it's the eDRAM external cache, L4 cache, +[1073.98 --> 1077.62] on some chips that it sells, and it's faster for graphics that way, +[1077.88 --> 1080.98] but you can't buy that in a desktop chip that's socketed. +[1081.60 --> 1083.24] You know, that's the type of thing that... +[1083.24 --> 1088.18] It's not a huge performance win on the desktop, but it's really cool. +[1088.72 --> 1090.76] And Intel doesn't bring it to the desktop +[1090.76 --> 1092.38] because they don't have any competition there. +[1092.78 --> 1094.82] That's the type of thing that gets pulled into the desktop +[1094.82 --> 1096.52] because it's cool technology, +[1096.98 --> 1100.44] and if they're fighting it out with a strong competitor. +[1101.12 --> 1103.58] Yeah, and I mean, I love Intel and NVIDIA as much as anyone, +[1103.78 --> 1107.44] but I think that we've seen enough times throughout history, +[1107.56 --> 1110.04] even as long as I've been paying attention to this stuff, +[1110.36 --> 1113.42] they're pretty content to sit and wait for AMD to make a move +[1113.42 --> 1117.18] before they drop price or before they release something more competitive +[1117.18 --> 1118.44] or whatever the case may be. +[1118.64 --> 1118.76] Yeah. +[1118.76 --> 1119.40] Yeah. +[1119.40 --> 1119.54] Yeah. +[1119.74 --> 1122.56] Well, like Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge has well. +[1122.72 --> 1125.26] You know, for like a year after they were released, +[1125.40 --> 1127.62] they kept the exact same price. +[1127.94 --> 1130.68] And it used to be like every three months you've got a price cut. +[1131.08 --> 1131.30] Yep. +[1131.84 --> 1132.02] Yeah. +[1132.22 --> 1133.00] That was cool. +[1133.50 --> 1135.22] There was always something to talk about, you know? +[1136.50 --> 1136.84] Yeah. +[1136.98 --> 1140.28] It's a lot more exciting when there's two competitors instead of one. +[1140.28 --> 1143.78] The pricing has been a little bit nuts since Maxwell dropped. +[1144.50 --> 1148.52] I've seen 780 Ti's like $100 or $200 below 980s +[1148.52 --> 1151.44] just because so many people are glomming on 980s, stuff like that. +[1151.54 --> 1153.74] Speaking of people glomming on to 980s, +[1153.74 --> 1159.42] I had a chat with someone at an undisclosed retailer, +[1159.76 --> 1164.96] and they let me know that the GTX 970 Strix, the Asus card, +[1165.04 --> 1166.18] you reviewed that one, right, Scott? +[1166.62 --> 1166.84] Yeah. +[1166.84 --> 1174.26] Yeah, so they have 300 back orders on that one SKU. +[1174.88 --> 1175.18] Wow. +[1175.52 --> 1179.48] Yeah, they were telling me they've never seen anything like this since 8800 GT. +[1180.30 --> 1180.64] Wow. +[1181.70 --> 1182.58] I believe it. +[1182.70 --> 1183.52] I mean, it makes sense. +[1183.76 --> 1187.18] We haven't had this type of combination of there's a lot more performance +[1187.18 --> 1189.50] at a really nice price for a long time. +[1190.02 --> 1190.16] Yeah. +[1190.26 --> 1192.92] You know what's funny is, again, undisclosed, +[1192.92 --> 1194.06] not going to say who it was, +[1194.06 --> 1197.60] but I talked to someone at NVIDIA prior to the launch +[1197.60 --> 1200.42] when I was having the prices given to me +[1200.42 --> 1202.72] so that I could make my video. +[1203.38 --> 1205.12] Very last minute, that whole thing. +[1205.32 --> 1206.74] But that's neither here nor there. +[1207.12 --> 1208.56] So they told me the prices, +[1208.96 --> 1209.90] and I kind of went, +[1210.12 --> 1213.04] wow, well, GTX 970 is the disruptive one. +[1213.74 --> 1214.60] And he's kind of like, +[1215.06 --> 1215.60] what do you mean? +[1215.86 --> 1218.18] The 980 is going to have the performance crown. +[1218.18 --> 1219.54] And I kind of went, well, yeah, +[1219.62 --> 1222.60] but the 970 is only cut down by, what, 20%? +[1223.26 --> 1225.76] And it's going to overclock like a bat out of hell. +[1226.00 --> 1226.22] Yeah. +[1226.54 --> 1229.02] And it's like almost $200 cheaper. +[1229.30 --> 1230.80] What a fantastic card. +[1231.04 --> 1233.10] And he kind of goes, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. +[1233.16 --> 1234.64] I guess you mean disruptive in that way. +[1236.64 --> 1237.36] Oh, my goodness. +[1237.36 --> 1238.62] Yeah, it's amazing. +[1238.70 --> 1241.28] They focus on the performance crown at these companies a lot, +[1241.28 --> 1244.50] and that's not always what people want to buy, you know? +[1245.06 --> 1245.92] They want to sell you. +[1246.82 --> 1249.72] Because you can get certain cars that are better than 980, +[1249.88 --> 1253.10] but 980 is at a really good price for what it is, +[1253.14 --> 1253.96] so people are buying it. +[1254.02 --> 1256.54] And then 970 is at an even better price for what it is, +[1256.76 --> 1258.00] so more people are buying that. +[1259.06 --> 1259.64] It's pretty interesting. +[1260.70 --> 1261.92] So, go ahead. +[1264.22 --> 1265.28] Everyone's way too polite. +[1265.64 --> 1266.04] I know. +[1266.30 --> 1267.90] Okay, I'm just going to talk over everyone from now on. +[1267.90 --> 1269.90] Okay, so 980 and 970. +[1269.90 --> 1273.34] 970, you had uncovered a little while ago, +[1273.40 --> 1276.70] we thought that the only real difference between 980 and 970 +[1276.70 --> 1280.88] was how many SMs that they had, +[1281.18 --> 1285.02] but you had found a bit of a disparity in their performance +[1285.02 --> 1286.84] that you couldn't really explain up till now. +[1287.20 --> 1293.56] So, can you maybe talk about what people should choose for 4K gaming? +[1293.66 --> 1295.94] Because I've gotten a lot of questions about this +[1295.94 --> 1298.74] in the comments on our 980 performance overview, +[1298.74 --> 1300.36] in PMs on the forum, +[1300.48 --> 1302.14] in threads I've seen posted on the forum. +[1302.46 --> 1304.34] Is 970 okay for 4K? +[1306.02 --> 1307.66] You know, that's a tough question, +[1307.76 --> 1311.52] because is 980 okay for 4K? +[1311.58 --> 1312.10] I was going to say, +[1312.30 --> 1315.80] is it okay for 4K is kind of an interesting question right now. +[1315.80 --> 1318.08] I mean, I kind of think you want to. +[1319.22 --> 1320.62] For running everything, +[1320.78 --> 1324.70] like the high-end games that we use for testing at high quality settings, +[1325.66 --> 1330.28] one of anything that's out there right now isn't entirely adequate. +[1330.28 --> 1336.06] You can play some games and you can tweak things to where a 970 or a 980 will run in 4K, +[1336.26 --> 1338.44] but it's not always a great experience. +[1339.54 --> 1344.50] So, it's weird because there is this architectural difference +[1344.50 --> 1347.42] that we didn't understand before between the 970 and the 980, +[1347.42 --> 1349.76] in that the 980 has, +[1349.88 --> 1352.26] both of them have the same number of ROPs, +[1352.34 --> 1353.54] which determines pixel throughput, +[1353.86 --> 1355.66] and that's really important for 4K, +[1356.24 --> 1358.18] because you've got a lot of pixels. +[1359.04 --> 1363.26] But it turns out that when you cut the number of SMs, +[1363.26 --> 1364.56] like they do on the 970, +[1364.80 --> 1368.06] you actually lower the pixel throughput of the card effectively, +[1368.38 --> 1371.86] because the SMs help determine the pixel throughput +[1371.86 --> 1376.42] in a way that we didn't understand until after our 980 review, +[1376.52 --> 1378.54] when a fellow reviewer, Damien at hardware.fr, +[1379.10 --> 1380.30] sent me a little note and said, +[1380.64 --> 1382.54] hey, see that benchmark result you got +[1382.54 --> 1384.90] where it was a lot lower fill rate on the 970? +[1385.46 --> 1386.54] Yeah, here's the explanation. +[1386.72 --> 1388.82] I did a little post about it, but it's totally his work. +[1388.82 --> 1393.42] He figured out by asking very specific questions of NVIDIA, +[1393.98 --> 1397.50] you know, why there was actually less capacity +[1397.50 --> 1400.00] for pixel throughput on the 970. +[1400.00 --> 1402.98] That said, you know, I've been playing around +[1402.98 --> 1405.98] with overclocking 980s and 970s a little bit, +[1406.22 --> 1409.30] and, you know, you can get back a lot of what you lose +[1409.30 --> 1412.44] by taking your SMs away, by turning up clock speeds. +[1412.98 --> 1415.28] And what else I've got right over here +[1415.28 --> 1419.62] is a 4K monitor from Acer that is G-Sync capable. +[1420.42 --> 1424.68] And I'm finding out that even though in a lot of cases +[1424.68 --> 1426.62] frame rates seem a little bit marginal +[1426.62 --> 1430.06] on a 970 or a 980 with a single card, +[1430.34 --> 1432.92] that when you have G-Sync and you're in those situations +[1432.92 --> 1435.38] where it's like, you know, 40 some FPS, +[1436.36 --> 1438.02] sometimes that's good enough +[1438.02 --> 1440.82] when the monitor is updating right when a frame is ready. +[1440.96 --> 1442.50] So I'll tell you this. +[1442.60 --> 1447.62] I actually did my Acer 4K G-Sync video +[1448.38 --> 1451.62] really differently from how I've typically looked +[1451.62 --> 1454.84] at either monitors or video cards +[1454.84 --> 1456.56] from a performance perspective before. +[1456.78 --> 1458.44] I did it, no numbers, +[1458.60 --> 1461.04] because we lack the high-speed camera equipment +[1461.04 --> 1465.08] that we would need to properly quantify G-Sync +[1465.08 --> 1466.78] in a way that would be meaningful to viewers. +[1467.44 --> 1470.82] And FCAT's not working for it. +[1471.28 --> 1473.80] And basically the thing about G-Sync +[1473.80 --> 1477.34] is it's more of a feel than a number right now +[1477.34 --> 1479.40] in terms of the equipment that we have to test it +[1479.40 --> 1480.32] on our side anyway. +[1480.94 --> 1485.24] So the way I did it was instead of having fraps on +[1485.24 --> 1487.00] and tuning my game settings +[1487.00 --> 1489.60] so that it was running at solid FPS +[1489.60 --> 1490.46] and I knew that, +[1490.92 --> 1493.54] I sat down and I cranked the detail on my games +[1493.54 --> 1495.64] without any FPS counter +[1495.64 --> 1498.00] and then I reduced it +[1498.00 --> 1501.06] until it felt like I was playing at 60 FPS smooth. +[1501.26 --> 1503.52] Then I alt-tabbed out, fired up fraps +[1503.52 --> 1504.74] and had a look at my frame rates. +[1505.06 --> 1507.20] And I discovered the exact same thing that you did. +[1507.20 --> 1509.84] I was getting dips down to 42, 43 +[1509.84 --> 1512.88] and that felt butter smooth to me. +[1513.46 --> 1513.56] Yeah. +[1513.94 --> 1515.32] And G-Sync is great for that. +[1515.94 --> 1517.54] So I don't know, +[1517.64 --> 1521.02] that's kind of a tough decision in terms of pricing +[1521.02 --> 1523.70] because those 4K G-Sync monitors are not cheap, right? +[1524.16 --> 1525.68] Yeah, well, there's one model. +[1525.98 --> 1527.44] So speaking of two competitors +[1527.44 --> 1530.12] being better for excitement and pricing. +[1530.44 --> 1530.68] Yeah. +[1531.84 --> 1532.36] Yeah. +[1532.86 --> 1534.42] Asus is the only show in town. +[1535.18 --> 1535.36] Yeah. +[1535.36 --> 1538.36] I think Asus is supposed to have a 4K G-Sync monitor +[1538.36 --> 1539.64] out before the end of the year, though. +[1540.24 --> 1540.58] Okay. +[1540.74 --> 1542.64] So sometime in the next three months. +[1542.98 --> 1543.68] So we'll see. +[1544.70 --> 1547.18] But even not 4K G-Sync monitors +[1547.18 --> 1548.64] can be extremely expensive still. +[1548.84 --> 1549.06] Yep. +[1549.18 --> 1551.14] We do need to see a little bit more market flooding +[1551.14 --> 1553.30] until it's going to be conceivable +[1553.30 --> 1554.26] for a lot of different people. +[1554.32 --> 1554.58] Okay. +[1554.74 --> 1555.10] So Scott... +[1555.72 --> 1556.20] Sorry, go ahead. +[1556.62 --> 1558.06] Well, G-Sync's awesome technology, +[1558.20 --> 1559.48] but it's not a good deal right now. +[1559.48 --> 1563.38] So speaking of not a good deal right now, +[1563.56 --> 1564.86] it's kind of... +[1564.86 --> 1567.24] There's so much confusion right now +[1567.24 --> 1569.50] about AMD's project FreeSync. +[1569.94 --> 1570.12] Yeah. +[1570.20 --> 1571.62] Maybe you can clarify this +[1571.62 --> 1572.42] because honestly, +[1572.56 --> 1575.06] I've even found myself getting a little bit lost +[1575.06 --> 1576.54] in the misinformation about it. +[1576.64 --> 1578.24] So there's a lot of people saying, +[1578.38 --> 1581.18] okay, it's built into DisplayPort now. +[1581.34 --> 1583.06] We're just going to see it built into +[1583.06 --> 1584.68] the next generation scalers, +[1584.84 --> 1585.98] and we're going to have support +[1585.98 --> 1587.36] for FreeSync across the board. +[1587.50 --> 1589.14] Then there's other information out there, +[1589.24 --> 1590.98] some of which is coming from AMD themselves, +[1591.32 --> 1592.66] saying, well, actually, hold on a second. +[1592.74 --> 1595.52] It's only a small subset of our graphics cards +[1595.52 --> 1597.16] that are actually going to support the tech, +[1597.56 --> 1599.66] and it's not necessarily +[1599.66 --> 1601.40] just going to be part of DisplayPort. +[1601.88 --> 1603.60] And NVIDIA's coming out saying, +[1603.72 --> 1605.02] yeah, we're not going to support it. +[1605.06 --> 1606.40] It's not just part of DisplayPort. +[1606.40 --> 1608.52] What the hell is FreeSync? +[1609.54 --> 1612.32] Well, FreeSync is AMD's project +[1612.32 --> 1614.22] to create a variable refresh monitor. +[1614.96 --> 1618.14] And there's a VASIS spec called Adaptive Sync, +[1618.54 --> 1620.30] Adaptive Dash Sync, I think, +[1620.68 --> 1624.50] that is something that AMD kind of shepherded through +[1624.50 --> 1626.38] as an extension to DisplayPort +[1626.38 --> 1628.66] in order to enable Project FreeSync. +[1629.60 --> 1632.48] I don't think it's a mandatory part of the spec, +[1632.90 --> 1634.02] but it's an extension. +[1634.68 --> 1636.12] It may be mandatory eventually, +[1636.12 --> 1639.06] but that doesn't mean that a monitor +[1639.06 --> 1640.86] needs to have all of the capabilities +[1640.86 --> 1642.48] to support variable refresh. +[1643.28 --> 1646.04] AMD is working with monitor makers +[1646.04 --> 1648.20] and with the scaler manufacturers +[1648.20 --> 1653.12] to enable a variable refresh-capable +[1653.76 --> 1656.04] set of hardware, set of displays, +[1656.36 --> 1658.92] multiple products from different companies. +[1658.92 --> 1662.84] And what we really haven't seen yet +[1662.84 --> 1665.36] is a functioning prototype +[1665.36 --> 1667.38] or anything like that. +[1667.88 --> 1669.28] So if you remember, +[1669.48 --> 1672.58] G-Sync was demoed in September 2013. +[1673.74 --> 1677.34] I think we talked at that event, right? +[1677.52 --> 1677.68] Yeah. +[1677.68 --> 1680.08] And then NVIDIA said, +[1680.16 --> 1681.70] oh, it'll be out in like March +[1681.70 --> 1684.04] and then summer and fall. +[1684.04 --> 1684.94] And it didn't come out +[1684.94 --> 1687.20] until really the end of summer or fall. +[1687.46 --> 1687.82] Yeah. +[1687.88 --> 1689.60] I mean, I had plans with NVIDIA +[1689.60 --> 1694.24] to potentially do like a wine tasting style event +[1694.24 --> 1695.28] in Q1 +[1695.28 --> 1698.46] where they wanted monitors to be available +[1698.46 --> 1700.76] and we were going to have members of our community +[1700.76 --> 1703.24] come and do like a blind taste test type thing. +[1703.30 --> 1704.06] That was going to be cool. +[1704.18 --> 1706.16] And that was going to be like a super cool idea. +[1706.16 --> 1707.16] And then... +[1708.16 --> 1710.42] It just didn't really work. +[1711.10 --> 1711.30] Yeah. +[1711.48 --> 1712.42] Nothing ever happened +[1712.42 --> 1713.42] because there was nothing. +[1714.44 --> 1714.72] Yeah. +[1714.72 --> 1717.58] So I think the first step +[1717.58 --> 1718.92] or probably the next step, +[1719.00 --> 1719.42] I hope, +[1719.56 --> 1721.84] is that we get to see a working prototype. +[1722.94 --> 1725.24] But AMD is saying that those are on the way +[1725.24 --> 1727.30] and then they're saying early next year +[1727.30 --> 1728.94] for the first products. +[1729.96 --> 1731.28] And, you know, +[1731.60 --> 1733.50] these are product schedules. +[1734.72 --> 1736.94] That's the best case, I think, +[1736.96 --> 1737.64] when you hear that. +[1737.78 --> 1738.60] But it could happen. +[1739.02 --> 1739.16] Right. +[1739.20 --> 1740.00] And, you know, +[1740.02 --> 1741.00] the other question is +[1741.00 --> 1743.68] how much cost will it add to a monitor +[1743.68 --> 1745.00] to support this feature +[1745.00 --> 1745.94] and do it correctly? +[1746.10 --> 1746.28] Yeah. +[1746.50 --> 1747.28] And, you know, +[1747.38 --> 1748.88] the path that NVIDIA has taken, +[1749.20 --> 1750.48] they developed their own scaler +[1750.48 --> 1752.28] completely from scratch +[1752.28 --> 1753.20] as far as I can tell +[1753.20 --> 1755.78] instead of working with the scaler manufacturer. +[1756.46 --> 1758.44] AMD is much more collaborative here. +[1759.22 --> 1759.96] So presumably, +[1760.58 --> 1760.76] you know, +[1760.82 --> 1762.50] those scaler guys already have built +[1762.50 --> 1763.92] all the things that you find +[1763.92 --> 1765.32] in a normal monitor scaler +[1765.32 --> 1766.84] and they only have to add +[1766.84 --> 1768.28] variable refresh capability. +[1768.64 --> 1768.74] Right. +[1768.80 --> 1769.44] And presumably, +[1769.74 --> 1771.84] they might be able to do things, +[1772.00 --> 1773.30] you know, +[1773.30 --> 1774.08] reasonably well, +[1774.20 --> 1774.92] reasonably quickly +[1774.92 --> 1775.86] without too much trouble. +[1776.16 --> 1776.86] The other thing is +[1776.86 --> 1778.74] NVIDIA's hardware is built off +[1778.74 --> 1780.54] of what's called the FPGA, +[1781.06 --> 1782.48] Field Programmable Gate Array, +[1782.62 --> 1784.80] which is an expensive chip +[1784.80 --> 1785.88] that you can program +[1785.88 --> 1786.80] to do almost anything. +[1787.28 --> 1787.92] And that's usually +[1787.92 --> 1788.98] what you use in development. +[1789.48 --> 1789.52] Right. +[1789.52 --> 1790.08] But then you make +[1790.08 --> 1790.88] a custom chip +[1790.88 --> 1792.04] or an ASIC +[1792.04 --> 1793.04] that actually, +[1793.18 --> 1793.70] like, +[1793.96 --> 1795.34] does this function +[1795.34 --> 1797.02] and it's much lower cost. +[1797.62 --> 1798.90] And I think +[1798.90 --> 1800.24] that probably the products +[1800.24 --> 1800.90] that come to market +[1800.90 --> 1802.28] from the scaler manufacturers +[1802.28 --> 1803.72] are, +[1804.06 --> 1804.96] I don't know for sure, +[1805.04 --> 1805.82] but I'd expect them +[1805.82 --> 1806.60] to be ASICs. +[1806.76 --> 1807.64] And if they're not +[1807.64 --> 1808.96] in the first generation, +[1809.10 --> 1810.20] eventually they should be. +[1810.62 --> 1811.16] Because I think +[1811.16 --> 1812.04] what everybody wants +[1812.04 --> 1814.28] is for the cost premium +[1814.28 --> 1816.20] to go down. +[1816.36 --> 1817.18] 50 bucks. +[1817.18 --> 1817.50] And that needs to happen +[1817.50 --> 1818.78] because of more competition. +[1818.96 --> 1819.40] It needs to happen +[1819.40 --> 1820.42] because they use +[1820.42 --> 1821.10] cheaper hardware. +[1821.34 --> 1822.26] And it needs to happen +[1822.26 --> 1824.30] because there are more suppliers. +[1824.92 --> 1825.88] 50 bucks is, +[1825.92 --> 1826.88] is in my mind, +[1826.88 --> 1828.72] for a 24 inch monitor, +[1829.10 --> 1830.82] what the adder needs to be +[1830.82 --> 1831.86] in order for me +[1831.86 --> 1833.00] to really tell people, +[1833.28 --> 1833.64] guys, +[1834.48 --> 1836.04] it officially doesn't make sense +[1836.04 --> 1836.80] to buy a monitor +[1836.80 --> 1838.04] without some kind of +[1838.04 --> 1839.16] adaptive refresh rate. +[1839.36 --> 1840.00] And I think people +[1840.00 --> 1840.58] aren't going to mind +[1840.58 --> 1842.02] waiting for FreeSync +[1842.02 --> 1842.48] to come in +[1842.48 --> 1843.86] because it's not 50 bucks +[1843.86 --> 1844.32] right now. +[1844.46 --> 1845.52] So it is a very hard +[1845.52 --> 1846.10] decision to make. +[1846.14 --> 1846.54] And a lot of people +[1846.54 --> 1847.30] are going to keep monitors +[1847.30 --> 1848.28] for a very long time. +[1848.38 --> 1849.42] So making a monitor decision +[1849.42 --> 1850.64] sometimes isn't that, +[1851.10 --> 1851.62] oh sweet, +[1851.66 --> 1852.66] a new graphics card came out, +[1852.72 --> 1853.30] let me upgrade. +[1853.62 --> 1854.36] It's more of a, +[1854.46 --> 1854.58] okay, +[1854.60 --> 1855.74] it's been six years, +[1855.74 --> 1856.44] seven years. +[1856.54 --> 1857.32] Maybe I should reset +[1857.32 --> 1858.02] all my monitors. +[1858.80 --> 1859.04] Yeah. +[1859.66 --> 1860.26] And you know, +[1860.38 --> 1861.68] I think what you want to see +[1861.68 --> 1863.56] is for AMD to succeed +[1863.56 --> 1865.10] and for their stuff +[1865.10 --> 1865.58] to get out there +[1865.58 --> 1866.02] in the market +[1866.02 --> 1867.36] and then at some point +[1867.36 --> 1868.94] for this +[1868.94 --> 1870.18] to become ubiquitous. +[1870.30 --> 1870.96] And what I mean by that +[1870.96 --> 1872.32] is NVIDIA has to cave +[1872.32 --> 1872.64] and say, +[1872.72 --> 1872.94] okay, +[1872.94 --> 1873.94] we're going to support it. +[1874.14 --> 1875.30] If you buy this monitor, +[1875.62 --> 1875.86] you can, +[1875.94 --> 1876.46] you can do it +[1876.46 --> 1877.32] but adaptive refresh +[1877.32 --> 1878.00] with the Radeon +[1878.00 --> 1878.96] on the G-Force. +[1879.12 --> 1880.06] But I don't think NVIDIA +[1880.06 --> 1880.88] has any interest +[1880.88 --> 1882.38] in making that easy +[1882.38 --> 1882.96] for AMD. +[1883.38 --> 1884.50] So they're going to wait +[1884.50 --> 1886.02] and take advantage +[1886.02 --> 1886.50] of the fact +[1886.50 --> 1887.28] that they're first +[1887.28 --> 1889.74] because they built G-Sync +[1889.74 --> 1891.14] and they did it first +[1891.14 --> 1891.66] and they invested +[1891.66 --> 1892.68] and they're going to wait +[1892.68 --> 1892.98] and see. +[1893.24 --> 1893.86] And the other thing +[1893.86 --> 1895.66] that I'm not really clear on +[1895.66 --> 1897.06] is if you look +[1897.06 --> 1898.16] at that G-Sync module +[1898.16 --> 1899.98] that NVIDIA built, +[1900.12 --> 1901.00] it has a bunch of RAM +[1901.00 --> 1901.32] on it +[1901.32 --> 1902.40] as well as an FPGA. +[1902.84 --> 1903.04] Yeah. +[1903.14 --> 1903.62] It has a buffer. +[1904.26 --> 1905.42] And I think it's +[1905.42 --> 1906.94] like a look-aside buffer +[1906.94 --> 1908.34] and they need it +[1908.34 --> 1909.02] every once in a while +[1909.02 --> 1909.88] when they don't get +[1909.88 --> 1910.52] another frame +[1910.52 --> 1913.50] from the GPU in time, +[1913.70 --> 1914.68] they've got to refresh +[1914.68 --> 1915.22] the display +[1915.22 --> 1916.22] because it's time. +[1916.86 --> 1918.06] So they have to store +[1918.06 --> 1919.52] a frame in the buffer. +[1920.00 --> 1921.38] And I don't know +[1921.38 --> 1922.28] whether AMD +[1922.28 --> 1923.14] will be able to come up +[1923.14 --> 1923.70] with an approach +[1923.70 --> 1924.96] where that memory +[1924.96 --> 1925.70] is not required +[1925.70 --> 1926.74] but the same functionality +[1926.74 --> 1927.66] is available. +[1928.14 --> 1928.34] Right. +[1929.22 --> 1930.12] It might be +[1930.12 --> 1931.86] because they did show +[1931.86 --> 1932.48] variable refresh +[1932.48 --> 1933.40] on a laptop display +[1933.40 --> 1934.18] which is a little bit +[1934.18 --> 1935.22] of a different type +[1935.22 --> 1936.66] of setup +[1936.66 --> 1938.42] at CES +[1938.42 --> 1939.22] in the little demo +[1939.22 --> 1939.86] they showed me. +[1940.42 --> 1942.28] But whether or not +[1942.28 --> 1943.22] they can pull that off +[1943.22 --> 1943.90] is going to determine +[1943.90 --> 1944.64] the cost too. +[1945.18 --> 1946.92] And I'm still waiting +[1946.92 --> 1947.60] to hear details. +[1950.10 --> 1951.36] So do you think NVIDIA +[1951.36 --> 1951.96] went with such +[1951.96 --> 1952.98] an expensive solution +[1952.98 --> 1953.60] just because they +[1953.60 --> 1954.12] were in a hurry? +[1955.26 --> 1955.52] Yeah. +[1955.76 --> 1956.14] Definitely. +[1956.50 --> 1957.26] And in fact, +[1957.60 --> 1959.36] I would talk to Tom Peterson +[1959.36 --> 1960.18] who's the engineer +[1960.18 --> 1960.70] at NVIDIA +[1960.70 --> 1962.24] who sort of spearheaded +[1962.24 --> 1963.04] G-Sync +[1963.04 --> 1964.22] and he said something +[1964.22 --> 1964.86] interesting to me. +[1965.18 --> 1966.80] Between the time +[1966.80 --> 1968.28] in March or so +[1968.28 --> 1968.86] when they were supposed +[1968.86 --> 1970.04] to launch G-Sync +[1970.04 --> 1971.08] and the time +[1971.08 --> 1971.50] in the summer +[1971.50 --> 1972.48] when it was really imminent +[1972.48 --> 1973.68] I spoke with him +[1973.68 --> 1974.14] and he said +[1974.14 --> 1975.56] you know, +[1975.64 --> 1976.56] we really had some problems +[1976.56 --> 1977.22] we had to work out +[1977.22 --> 1977.66] which is why +[1977.66 --> 1978.42] we had the delay +[1978.42 --> 1980.10] and thank goodness +[1980.10 --> 1981.50] it was an FPGA +[1981.50 --> 1983.78] because they had to change +[1983.78 --> 1984.44] the way that it worked +[1984.44 --> 1984.86] fundamentally +[1984.86 --> 1985.56] and if it had been +[1985.56 --> 1986.26] a custom chip +[1986.26 --> 1986.96] they would have had to +[1986.96 --> 1988.22] build another spin +[1988.22 --> 1988.74] on the chip. +[1989.40 --> 1989.50] Right. +[1990.04 --> 1990.70] I think it also +[1990.70 --> 1991.50] like, +[1991.66 --> 1992.44] of course they wanted +[1992.44 --> 1992.72] to hurry +[1992.72 --> 1993.28] but I think it also +[1993.28 --> 1993.74] comes into +[1993.74 --> 1994.92] NVIDIA seems to like +[1994.92 --> 1996.08] doing things by themselves +[1996.08 --> 1997.82] in a fairly locked down +[1997.82 --> 1998.32] ecosystem +[1998.32 --> 1999.64] and AMD is that +[1999.64 --> 2000.16] whole +[2000.16 --> 2001.78] let's all come together +[2001.78 --> 2002.64] and help everyone +[2002.64 --> 2003.46] and we'll do it +[2003.46 --> 2004.82] as one big unit +[2004.82 --> 2005.70] and those are two +[2005.70 --> 2006.98] extremely different styles +[2006.98 --> 2008.26] and I fully understand +[2008.26 --> 2009.64] the style that NVIDIA +[2009.64 --> 2010.06] went with +[2010.06 --> 2011.30] because it's their style +[2011.30 --> 2012.18] it makes sense. +[2012.60 --> 2013.12] Yeah, they do tend +[2013.12 --> 2013.88] to do that, don't they? +[2014.90 --> 2015.38] I was actually +[2015.38 --> 2016.04] They also tend +[2016.04 --> 2017.66] to make money +[2017.66 --> 2018.32] every quarter. +[2018.74 --> 2018.94] Yeah. +[2019.02 --> 2019.14] Yeah. +[2019.14 --> 2020.94] You know, +[2021.04 --> 2021.76] it's hard to +[2021.76 --> 2023.42] I want openness +[2023.42 --> 2024.48] I prefer openness +[2024.48 --> 2025.54] and I like +[2025.54 --> 2026.50] sometimes like AMD's +[2026.50 --> 2027.06] approach of +[2027.06 --> 2028.04] we're a hardware maker +[2028.04 --> 2029.22] and we're not a software maker +[2029.22 --> 2030.28] and we're going to be open +[2030.28 --> 2032.86] but they are non-invest +[2032.86 --> 2033.80] they didn't come up +[2033.80 --> 2035.18] with G-Sync +[2035.18 --> 2035.74] they didn't +[2035.74 --> 2036.66] they're just sort of +[2036.66 --> 2037.46] doing the me too thing +[2037.46 --> 2037.94] with FreeSync +[2037.94 --> 2038.90] NVIDIA, +[2039.14 --> 2039.72] give them credit +[2039.72 --> 2041.26] they invested in this +[2041.26 --> 2041.80] and they want to +[2041.80 --> 2042.64] get money back +[2042.64 --> 2044.58] and I understand +[2044.58 --> 2045.22] that I'm sympathetic +[2045.22 --> 2046.20] to that +[2046.20 --> 2047.28] even though I think +[2047.28 --> 2047.76] ultimately +[2047.76 --> 2048.82] I hope everybody +[2048.82 --> 2049.48] in the industry +[2049.48 --> 2051.08] wants the final destination +[2051.08 --> 2051.82] for this to be +[2051.82 --> 2052.74] that you can plug +[2052.74 --> 2053.32] any monitor +[2053.32 --> 2054.36] into any graphics card +[2054.36 --> 2055.38] and get variable refresh. +[2055.56 --> 2056.64] That is exactly +[2056.64 --> 2057.30] what we want. +[2057.66 --> 2057.94] I mean, +[2058.08 --> 2059.36] actually I should clarify +[2059.36 --> 2059.98] something. +[2060.18 --> 2061.32] Last week on the show +[2061.32 --> 2062.40] speaking of NVIDIA +[2062.40 --> 2063.22] being closed +[2063.22 --> 2064.96] I did a super pissed off +[2064.96 --> 2065.72] rant for about +[2065.72 --> 2066.42] five minutes +[2066.42 --> 2067.66] about how the +[2067.66 --> 2068.62] Shield controller +[2068.62 --> 2070.18] only works +[2070.18 --> 2071.60] on GeForce PCs +[2071.60 --> 2072.18] right now. +[2072.26 --> 2072.56] Did you know +[2072.56 --> 2073.14] about this Scott? +[2073.50 --> 2074.46] Yeah, you know +[2074.46 --> 2075.98] I saw that. +[2076.44 --> 2077.10] They're fixing it. +[2077.76 --> 2079.64] I got an email +[2079.64 --> 2081.24] at the end of the show +[2081.24 --> 2081.98] last week +[2081.98 --> 2083.38] Yo dawg, sorry +[2083.38 --> 2084.64] I was driving +[2084.64 --> 2085.78] I couldn't reply +[2085.78 --> 2088.06] we're fixing it +[2088.06 --> 2088.76] it's coming +[2088.76 --> 2090.42] it'll work on any PC +[2090.42 --> 2092.20] Please stop talking about this. +[2092.20 --> 2092.86] Yes, please +[2092.86 --> 2094.74] stop talking about this. +[2096.74 --> 2097.40] But you know +[2097.40 --> 2098.44] you gotta call them out +[2098.44 --> 2099.26] on stuff like that +[2099.26 --> 2100.20] because you don't want +[2100.20 --> 2101.30] the standard to become +[2101.30 --> 2101.94] that we're all +[2101.94 --> 2102.66] just kind of +[2102.66 --> 2103.86] in our different silos +[2103.86 --> 2105.84] and GeForce is its own thing +[2105.84 --> 2107.28] and Radeon is its own thing +[2107.28 --> 2108.06] Can you imagine +[2108.06 --> 2108.76] a controller +[2108.76 --> 2110.00] that only worked +[2110.00 --> 2111.02] on PCs +[2111.02 --> 2111.76] with a certain +[2111.76 --> 2112.78] brand of graphics cards? +[2112.90 --> 2113.04] I mean +[2113.04 --> 2114.12] we'd be +[2114.12 --> 2115.52] never mind +[2115.52 --> 2116.80] consoles going away +[2116.80 --> 2118.12] and converging with PCs +[2118.12 --> 2119.10] PCs would be +[2119.10 --> 2120.20] converging into consoles +[2120.20 --> 2120.90] at that point. +[2121.32 --> 2121.84] New Intel +[2121.84 --> 2122.78] compatible keyboards +[2122.78 --> 2124.20] Oh no +[2124.20 --> 2125.94] Oh no +[2125.94 --> 2128.12] That would be bad +[2128.12 --> 2130.08] That's terrifying +[2130.08 --> 2130.62] Yeah +[2130.62 --> 2131.86] But you know +[2131.86 --> 2132.98] if it happened to one thing +[2132.98 --> 2133.94] it would leak into +[2133.94 --> 2135.02] all the things +[2135.02 --> 2135.76] I know +[2135.76 --> 2136.74] It's horrible +[2136.74 --> 2138.64] Alright +[2138.64 --> 2138.84] So we should have +[2138.84 --> 2139.84] with the Samsung plant? +[2140.68 --> 2140.94] Sorry? +[2141.46 --> 2142.66] Well not Samsung plant +[2142.66 --> 2143.90] but Samsung starting +[2143.90 --> 2144.66] AMD development +[2144.66 --> 2145.30] I guess we did +[2145.30 --> 2145.76] Yeah we kind of +[2145.76 --> 2146.58] talked about that already +[2146.58 --> 2147.34] Why don't we just +[2147.34 --> 2148.26] Hey Scott +[2148.26 --> 2149.48] which of our topics +[2149.48 --> 2150.68] under the guest topics +[2150.68 --> 2151.84] are you most +[2151.84 --> 2153.62] down to talk about? +[2154.50 --> 2154.86] Do you remember? +[2154.96 --> 2155.54] Did you leave and look? +[2155.96 --> 2157.08] I am easy +[2157.08 --> 2157.78] whatever you guys +[2157.78 --> 2158.46] want to talk about +[2158.46 --> 2159.18] if you want to talk +[2159.18 --> 2160.24] more graphics +[2160.24 --> 2161.06] if you want to talk +[2161.06 --> 2161.94] any of the other stuff +[2161.94 --> 2162.38] out there +[2162.38 --> 2163.72] then I'm happy to do it +[2163.72 --> 2164.64] I want to talk about +[2164.64 --> 2166.94] that 17,000 Mac botnet +[2166.94 --> 2167.90] that got discovered +[2167.90 --> 2169.70] Oh wait +[2169.70 --> 2170.50] that's impossible +[2170.50 --> 2171.76] Macs don't get viruses +[2171.76 --> 2172.38] No +[2172.38 --> 2172.90] No +[2172.90 --> 2173.26] No +[2173.26 --> 2173.62] Surely +[2173.62 --> 2174.86] Steve Jobs said +[2174.86 --> 2175.90] they don't get viruses +[2175.90 --> 2176.58] so therefore +[2176.58 --> 2177.84] This isn't a virus +[2177.84 --> 2178.54] they're just all +[2178.54 --> 2179.58] trying to be friends +[2179.58 --> 2180.10] Right +[2180.10 --> 2180.78] Macs are more +[2180.78 --> 2181.64] it's a more friendly +[2181.64 --> 2182.36] operating system +[2182.36 --> 2183.22] This is the new +[2183.22 --> 2184.20] social network +[2184.20 --> 2186.30] It's joining a botnet +[2186.30 --> 2187.34] You're being social +[2187.34 --> 2188.26] with other computers +[2188.26 --> 2189.00] and trying to help +[2189.00 --> 2190.42] everyone to one goal +[2190.42 --> 2191.58] just might not necessarily +[2191.58 --> 2192.36] be your goal +[2192.36 --> 2193.62] Or really +[2193.62 --> 2195.04] anyone who's not +[2195.04 --> 2195.64] sort of +[2195.64 --> 2196.66] The one dude +[2196.66 --> 2197.42] who set it up +[2197.42 --> 2200.94] Don't worry about it +[2200.94 --> 2201.38] It's cool +[2201.38 --> 2202.48] It's not a virus +[2202.48 --> 2204.42] So okay +[2204.42 --> 2204.92] Do you want to do +[2204.92 --> 2206.56] a quick rundown +[2206.56 --> 2207.20] of what the heck +[2207.20 --> 2207.66] happened here +[2207.66 --> 2208.46] So this was a post +[2208.46 --> 2209.52] from gizmodo.com +[2209.52 --> 2209.96] I'm just going to +[2209.96 --> 2210.40] check this up +[2210.40 --> 2210.88] on my screen +[2210.88 --> 2212.08] while Luke gives us +[2212.08 --> 2212.62] a rundown +[2212.62 --> 2213.10] and then we'll +[2213.10 --> 2214.28] move into the topic +[2214.28 --> 2214.98] So the backdoor +[2214.98 --> 2215.28] is called +[2215.28 --> 2217.24] mac.backdoor.iworm +[2217.24 --> 2218.54] because it has to be +[2218.54 --> 2219.16] stealthy and +[2219.16 --> 2220.28] use backdoor +[2220.28 --> 2220.72] in the name +[2220.72 --> 2221.24] Awesome +[2221.24 --> 2223.22] Essentially they have +[2223.22 --> 2224.44] gained access to +[2224.44 --> 2225.92] Macs and they use +[2225.92 --> 2226.74] Reddit to connect +[2226.74 --> 2227.38] them all together +[2227.38 --> 2228.04] So basically +[2228.04 --> 2229.56] when the Mac calls out +[2229.56 --> 2230.20] it goes on to +[2230.20 --> 2231.04] Reddit and finds +[2231.04 --> 2232.04] a post which links +[2232.04 --> 2232.76] it to a server +[2232.76 --> 2234.26] under a Minecraft +[2234.26 --> 2235.02] subreddit +[2235.02 --> 2236.02] which is hilarious +[2236.02 --> 2237.04] and then they all +[2237.04 --> 2237.52] link together +[2237.52 --> 2238.30] through that +[2238.30 --> 2240.18] So this guy has +[2240.18 --> 2240.96] used a worm +[2240.96 --> 2242.50] to grab all these +[2242.50 --> 2243.14] botnet computers +[2243.14 --> 2243.72] and have them link +[2243.72 --> 2244.64] all together through +[2244.64 --> 2245.82] Reddit's Minecraft +[2245.82 --> 2246.38] community +[2246.38 --> 2247.20] Okay so maybe you can +[2247.20 --> 2248.50] explain what's the +[2248.50 --> 2249.64] problem with a botnet +[2249.64 --> 2250.64] what exactly is a +[2250.64 --> 2251.32] botnet and what does +[2251.32 --> 2252.00] it mean to be part +[2252.00 --> 2252.26] of one? +[2252.28 --> 2252.74] You can use botnets +[2252.74 --> 2253.26] for a lot of +[2253.26 --> 2253.94] different things +[2253.94 --> 2256.40] a lot of the laws +[2256.40 --> 2257.18] around like you +[2257.18 --> 2258.08] can't sue someone +[2258.08 --> 2259.02] for their computer +[2259.02 --> 2260.00] necessarily doing +[2260.00 --> 2261.10] something happens +[2261.10 --> 2262.10] because of botnets +[2262.10 --> 2262.86] so you can use a +[2262.86 --> 2263.74] botnet to essentially +[2263.74 --> 2264.50] a lot of people +[2264.50 --> 2265.54] refer to them as +[2265.54 --> 2266.38] zombies as well +[2266.38 --> 2267.66] you can utilize all +[2267.66 --> 2268.46] these computers to +[2268.46 --> 2269.60] do things for you +[2269.60 --> 2270.26] it's like having a +[2270.26 --> 2271.14] gigantic external +[2271.14 --> 2272.18] cluster so you can +[2272.18 --> 2272.90] use these to like +[2272.90 --> 2273.88] DDoS a target +[2273.88 --> 2276.12] or just do +[2276.12 --> 2277.26] other things +[2277.26 --> 2279.42] like essentially +[2279.42 --> 2280.26] look like users +[2280.26 --> 2281.28] so if you want to +[2281.28 --> 2281.70] get a whole bunch +[2281.70 --> 2282.54] of hits on something +[2282.54 --> 2283.86] that's a less +[2283.86 --> 2284.64] aggressive way +[2284.64 --> 2285.94] to use a botnet +[2285.94 --> 2287.42] Do we actually +[2287.42 --> 2289.24] have 4,400 +[2289.24 --> 2289.90] viewers? +[2291.24 --> 2292.58] Who knows? +[2292.96 --> 2293.80] Maybe we have +[2293.80 --> 2294.96] one who owns +[2294.96 --> 2296.08] a lot of IMAX +[2296.08 --> 2296.66] or doesn't own +[2296.66 --> 2297.08] a lot of IMAX +[2297.08 --> 2297.90] And Scott +[2297.90 --> 2300.22] No he's not +[2300.22 --> 2300.94] viewing he's just +[2300.94 --> 2301.70] looking through our +[2301.70 --> 2302.52] video conferencing +[2302.52 --> 2302.92] software +[2302.92 --> 2303.32] Right +[2303.32 --> 2304.42] He wouldn't even +[2304.42 --> 2304.70] count +[2304.70 --> 2305.66] Sorry Scott +[2305.66 --> 2306.22] you don't count +[2306.22 --> 2306.62] as a viewer +[2306.62 --> 2307.40] You can use them +[2307.40 --> 2308.92] for large variants +[2308.92 --> 2309.38] of things +[2309.38 --> 2310.30] but a lot of times +[2310.30 --> 2311.44] it's just DDoS +[2311.44 --> 2312.00] DDoS +[2312.00 --> 2312.72] that kind of stuff +[2312.72 --> 2313.64] bringing down websites +[2313.64 --> 2314.38] being a jerk +[2314.38 --> 2316.32] In this case though +[2316.32 --> 2316.94] I wonder if he's +[2316.94 --> 2317.96] actually using it +[2317.96 --> 2319.40] to look like users +[2319.40 --> 2320.42] on Minecraft servers +[2320.42 --> 2321.76] I haven't read into it +[2321.76 --> 2322.92] into that much +[2322.92 --> 2323.68] but it would be +[2323.68 --> 2324.62] pretty funny actually +[2324.62 --> 2325.96] because if you can +[2325.96 --> 2326.50] make your Minecraft +[2326.50 --> 2327.42] server look popular +[2327.42 --> 2328.06] and then get people +[2328.06 --> 2328.70] to come to it +[2328.70 --> 2329.52] and then actually +[2329.52 --> 2331.22] do real microtransactions +[2331.22 --> 2332.48] then you might make +[2332.48 --> 2332.80] some money +[2332.80 --> 2333.50] So Scott +[2333.50 --> 2334.76] Is Apple imploding? +[2337.26 --> 2338.10] There's a lot +[2338.10 --> 2338.96] of bad PR +[2338.96 --> 2340.32] A lot +[2340.32 --> 2342.30] Yeah you know +[2342.30 --> 2343.38] it is weird +[2343.38 --> 2343.88] like the +[2343.88 --> 2345.08] Ben Gate stuff +[2345.08 --> 2346.26] that just +[2346.26 --> 2347.00] was one of those +[2347.00 --> 2347.50] tech stories +[2347.50 --> 2348.34] that you could see +[2348.34 --> 2348.98] it taking on +[2348.98 --> 2349.92] a life of its own +[2349.92 --> 2351.16] like the iPhone 6 +[2351.16 --> 2351.78] had happened +[2351.78 --> 2353.48] it was a big deal +[2353.48 --> 2355.10] and then +[2355.10 --> 2355.84] there wasn't +[2355.84 --> 2356.98] another story +[2356.98 --> 2358.54] and so that one +[2358.54 --> 2359.06] kind of came out +[2359.06 --> 2359.48] on the weekend +[2359.48 --> 2360.16] and it was like +[2360.16 --> 2361.14] it hit the news +[2361.14 --> 2361.90] cycle perfectly +[2361.90 --> 2362.72] Everyone wanted +[2362.72 --> 2364.10] more iPhone news +[2364.10 --> 2364.74] and that was +[2364.74 --> 2365.64] the more iPhone news +[2365.64 --> 2366.08] I don't know +[2366.08 --> 2367.10] did you watch +[2367.10 --> 2368.68] the Ben videos +[2368.68 --> 2370.10] because I got up +[2370.10 --> 2370.58] that morning +[2370.58 --> 2371.00] and I went +[2371.00 --> 2371.66] and I watched +[2371.66 --> 2372.02] one of those +[2372.02 --> 2372.44] and I watched +[2372.44 --> 2373.54] this guy's thumb +[2373.54 --> 2374.44] just strain +[2374.44 --> 2375.34] against his phone +[2375.34 --> 2375.82] to bend it +[2375.82 --> 2376.30] and I thought +[2376.30 --> 2377.74] I'm not worried +[2377.74 --> 2378.64] about that at all +[2378.64 --> 2381.40] it's way too much +[2381.40 --> 2382.04] force for me +[2382.04 --> 2383.04] to ever care +[2383.04 --> 2383.54] you know +[2383.54 --> 2384.08] I'm not going +[2384.08 --> 2384.52] to do that +[2384.52 --> 2385.12] accidentally +[2385.12 --> 2385.78] Well you need +[2385.78 --> 2386.28] to gain about +[2386.28 --> 2387.22] 100 pounds then +[2387.22 --> 2387.56] come on +[2387.56 --> 2388.18] go to the gym +[2388.18 --> 2390.54] crank up those pecs +[2390.54 --> 2391.80] or something +[2391.80 --> 2393.94] but it didn't matter +[2393.94 --> 2395.04] because that story +[2395.04 --> 2396.16] filled a void +[2396.16 --> 2396.60] right +[2396.60 --> 2398.00] and it was like +[2398.00 --> 2398.86] it was everybody +[2398.86 --> 2400.04] who's like a +[2400.04 --> 2401.22] Samsung fan +[2401.22 --> 2402.18] like loved it +[2402.18 --> 2402.96] it didn't matter +[2402.96 --> 2403.74] that it was true +[2403.74 --> 2405.32] it just was there +[2405.32 --> 2405.78] right +[2405.78 --> 2406.52] but honestly +[2406.52 --> 2407.20] I don't think +[2407.20 --> 2407.82] that that story +[2407.82 --> 2408.56] happens and gets +[2408.56 --> 2409.08] that big +[2409.08 --> 2410.68] if it isn't +[2410.68 --> 2411.28] for the fact +[2411.28 --> 2412.40] that everybody +[2412.40 --> 2413.16] in the media +[2413.16 --> 2413.96] who is reporting +[2413.96 --> 2414.30] on that +[2414.30 --> 2415.24] making it a big deal +[2415.24 --> 2416.52] knows that +[2416.52 --> 2417.34] when they report +[2417.34 --> 2417.84] on Apple +[2417.84 --> 2418.72] there's a lot +[2418.72 --> 2419.42] of response +[2419.42 --> 2420.02] yeah +[2420.02 --> 2421.18] right +[2421.18 --> 2421.68] and +[2421.68 --> 2422.22] positive +[2422.22 --> 2422.74] a lot of +[2422.74 --> 2423.06] people will +[2423.06 --> 2423.52] chime in +[2423.52 --> 2423.90] no matter +[2423.90 --> 2424.48] what it is +[2424.48 --> 2425.40] Apple's in +[2425.40 --> 2425.72] trouble +[2425.72 --> 2426.52] when people +[2426.52 --> 2427.02] don't care +[2427.02 --> 2427.38] about what +[2427.38 --> 2427.78] they do +[2427.78 --> 2428.38] and they're +[2428.38 --> 2428.84] a long way +[2428.84 --> 2429.18] from that +[2429.18 --> 2429.62] place right +[2429.62 --> 2429.82] now +[2429.82 --> 2430.32] yeah +[2430.32 --> 2431.06] fair enough +[2431.06 --> 2431.88] I mean +[2431.88 --> 2432.42] there's been +[2432.42 --> 2432.94] other bad +[2432.94 --> 2433.48] news too +[2433.48 --> 2433.90] so there +[2433.90 --> 2434.20] was the +[2434.20 --> 2434.70] report that +[2434.70 --> 2435.16] came out +[2435.16 --> 2435.72] that Apple +[2435.72 --> 2436.34] reportedly +[2436.34 --> 2436.92] punished +[2436.92 --> 2437.34] a German +[2437.34 --> 2437.82] magazine +[2437.82 --> 2438.46] for doing +[2438.46 --> 2438.96] an iPhone +[2438.96 --> 2439.56] 6 Ben +[2439.56 --> 2439.96] test +[2439.96 --> 2440.68] saying they +[2440.68 --> 2441.04] would no +[2441.04 --> 2441.56] longer be +[2441.56 --> 2442.20] invited to +[2442.20 --> 2442.58] any of +[2442.58 --> 2443.22] their events +[2443.22 --> 2444.16] and +[2444.16 --> 2445.48] they were +[2445.48 --> 2445.90] basically +[2445.90 --> 2446.66] cut off +[2446.66 --> 2447.30] I mean +[2447.30 --> 2448.16] how do +[2448.16 --> 2449.58] you feel +[2449.58 --> 2450.36] as an +[2450.36 --> 2450.80] objective +[2450.80 --> 2452.10] journalist +[2452.10 --> 2452.98] in the +[2452.98 --> 2453.80] IT industry +[2453.80 --> 2454.92] about that +[2454.92 --> 2455.32] kind of +[2455.32 --> 2455.76] behavior +[2455.76 --> 2456.20] from a +[2456.20 --> 2456.70] manufacturer +[2456.70 --> 2457.08] because +[2457.08 --> 2457.36] that +[2457.36 --> 2458.70] well I want +[2458.70 --> 2459.00] the D +[2459.00 --> 2459.32] which we'll +[2459.32 --> 2459.64] talk about +[2459.64 --> 2459.92] later +[2459.92 --> 2460.52] but +[2460.52 --> 2462.80] so I don't +[2462.80 --> 2463.44] necessarily care +[2463.44 --> 2464.14] about like a +[2464.14 --> 2464.90] paper style +[2464.90 --> 2465.38] screen +[2465.38 --> 2468.08] or not +[2468.08 --> 2468.62] but I do +[2468.62 --> 2469.02] want the +[2469.02 --> 2469.66] round shape +[2469.66 --> 2470.24] of a watch +[2470.24 --> 2471.08] and that being +[2471.08 --> 2471.68] said +[2471.68 --> 2472.38] Pebble prices +[2472.38 --> 2473.08] are dropping +[2473.08 --> 2474.50] so they're +[2474.50 --> 2474.90] reducing their +[2474.90 --> 2475.34] price on the +[2475.34 --> 2475.90] standard Pebble +[2475.90 --> 2476.50] which is not +[2476.50 --> 2477.08] what Linus +[2477.08 --> 2477.54] has anymore +[2477.54 --> 2477.88] you have the +[2477.88 --> 2478.40] Pebble Steel +[2478.40 --> 2478.92] I believe +[2478.92 --> 2479.56] that's right +[2479.56 --> 2480.46] they're reducing +[2480.46 --> 2480.98] the price on the +[2480.98 --> 2481.58] standard Pebble +[2481.58 --> 2482.10] to around +[2482.10 --> 2482.88] 90 USD +[2482.88 --> 2483.76] this is only +[2483.76 --> 2484.20] in the states +[2484.20 --> 2484.78] as far as I +[2484.78 --> 2485.00] know +[2485.00 --> 2487.06] to 90 USD +[2487.06 --> 2487.92] and they're +[2487.92 --> 2488.42] bringing the +[2488.42 --> 2488.88] prices down +[2488.88 --> 2489.14] on their +[2489.14 --> 2489.56] steel +[2489.56 --> 2490.52] to 199 +[2490.52 --> 2491.20] USD +[2491.20 --> 2491.86] it's a pretty +[2491.86 --> 2492.32] big difference +[2492.32 --> 2492.80] do you think +[2492.80 --> 2493.30] it's worth it +[2493.30 --> 2493.68] from the +[2493.68 --> 2494.04] standard to +[2494.04 --> 2494.32] the steel +[2494.32 --> 2495.50] you know +[2495.50 --> 2495.80] what +[2495.80 --> 2496.32] I +[2496.32 --> 2497.18] I +[2497.18 --> 2498.58] it depends +[2498.58 --> 2498.94] on +[2498.94 --> 2499.42] it depends +[2499.42 --> 2499.88] on what +[2499.88 --> 2500.26] you want +[2500.26 --> 2500.62] out of your +[2500.62 --> 2500.90] watch +[2500.90 --> 2501.30] if you just +[2501.30 --> 2501.62] want the +[2501.62 --> 2502.16] functionality +[2502.16 --> 2503.32] the functionality +[2503.32 --> 2503.78] of them +[2503.78 --> 2505.04] is literally +[2505.04 --> 2506.24] exactly +[2506.24 --> 2507.10] the same +[2507.10 --> 2508.10] they actually +[2508.10 --> 2508.84] have the +[2508.84 --> 2509.28] same +[2509.28 --> 2509.96] hardware +[2509.96 --> 2510.50] in them +[2510.50 --> 2510.94] I mean +[2510.94 --> 2511.32] they didn't +[2511.32 --> 2512.00] even bother +[2512.00 --> 2512.68] to upgrade +[2512.68 --> 2513.54] the battery +[2513.54 --> 2514.08] on the +[2514.08 --> 2514.36] steel +[2514.36 --> 2515.22] which in +[2515.22 --> 2515.72] my mind +[2515.72 --> 2516.48] is a little +[2516.48 --> 2517.28] bit frustrating +[2517.28 --> 2518.06] I don't see +[2518.06 --> 2518.56] any reason +[2518.56 --> 2519.00] why they +[2519.00 --> 2519.34] couldn't have +[2519.34 --> 2519.68] made the +[2519.68 --> 2520.02] steel +[2520.02 --> 2520.80] you know +[2520.80 --> 2521.70] a 9 day +[2521.70 --> 2522.14] battery +[2522.14 --> 2522.60] or something +[2522.60 --> 2522.98] like that +[2522.98 --> 2523.34] give me +[2523.34 --> 2524.42] some kind +[2524.42 --> 2525.02] of extra +[2525.02 --> 2525.64] functionality +[2525.64 --> 2526.54] the steel +[2526.54 --> 2527.24] is all +[2527.24 --> 2527.68] about the +[2527.68 --> 2527.90] look +[2527.90 --> 2528.36] so if +[2528.36 --> 2528.74] you wear +[2528.74 --> 2529.34] your watch +[2529.34 --> 2529.76] as a +[2529.76 --> 2530.06] purely +[2530.06 --> 2530.60] functional +[2530.60 --> 2531.06] piece +[2531.06 --> 2531.76] because you +[2531.76 --> 2532.04] would like +[2532.04 --> 2532.32] to know +[2532.32 --> 2532.70] what time +[2532.70 --> 2532.96] it is +[2532.96 --> 2533.22] and read +[2533.22 --> 2533.82] text messages +[2533.82 --> 2534.26] and all +[2534.26 --> 2534.60] those other +[2534.60 --> 2535.12] cool pebble +[2535.12 --> 2535.52] apps +[2535.52 --> 2536.80] get a regular +[2536.80 --> 2537.16] pebble +[2537.16 --> 2537.50] right +[2537.50 --> 2539.12] if your watch +[2539.12 --> 2540.36] is part of +[2540.36 --> 2544.82] the look +[2544.82 --> 2545.96] of you +[2545.96 --> 2546.74] that you're +[2546.74 --> 2547.18] trying to +[2547.18 --> 2547.48] achieve +[2547.48 --> 2547.94] if it's a +[2547.94 --> 2548.62] fashion statement +[2548.62 --> 2549.06] then maybe +[2549.06 --> 2549.42] the steel +[2549.42 --> 2550.50] in my opinion +[2550.50 --> 2551.00] the steel +[2551.00 --> 2551.58] is a great +[2551.58 --> 2552.02] value +[2552.02 --> 2552.70] I mean +[2552.70 --> 2553.02] you can +[2553.02 --> 2553.70] easily +[2553.70 --> 2554.12] spend +[2554.12 --> 2554.56] $200 +[2554.56 --> 2555.20] on a watch +[2555.20 --> 2555.58] you can +[2555.58 --> 2555.66] spend +[2555.66 --> 2556.52] 5, +[2556.62 --> 2556.88] 10, +[2557.04 --> 2557.78] 15 times +[2557.78 --> 2558.02] that +[2558.02 --> 2558.58] on a watch +[2558.58 --> 2559.04] on a watch +[2559.04 --> 2560.80] that doesn't +[2560.80 --> 2561.28] have that +[2561.28 --> 2561.62] functionality +[2561.62 --> 2561.98] there +[2561.98 --> 2562.44] I think +[2562.44 --> 2562.64] that's +[2562.64 --> 2562.88] what the +[2562.88 --> 2563.10] steel +[2563.10 --> 2563.32] is +[2563.32 --> 2563.80] it's a +[2563.80 --> 2564.12] great +[2564.12 --> 2564.68] marriage +[2564.68 --> 2565.18] of +[2565.18 --> 2565.74] functionality +[2565.74 --> 2567.04] and +[2567.04 --> 2568.50] at least +[2568.50 --> 2568.84] a little +[2568.84 --> 2569.12] bit of +[2569.12 --> 2569.32] style +[2569.32 --> 2569.80] 2,000 meters +[2569.80 --> 2570.40] underwater +[2570.40 --> 2571.96] sorry what +[2571.96 --> 2573.18] some of those +[2573.18 --> 2573.74] super high end +[2573.74 --> 2574.46] watches are like +[2574.46 --> 2574.86] oh yeah +[2574.86 --> 2575.46] but it'll work +[2575.46 --> 2576.24] 2,000 meters +[2576.24 --> 2576.68] underwater +[2576.68 --> 2577.08] and I'm like +[2577.08 --> 2577.80] wow cool +[2577.80 --> 2578.32] for when I'm +[2578.32 --> 2579.02] in a submarine +[2579.02 --> 2579.64] next +[2579.64 --> 2580.44] what +[2580.44 --> 2581.36] for when I'm +[2581.36 --> 2582.14] completely +[2582.14 --> 2583.10] underwater +[2583.10 --> 2583.74] and dead +[2583.74 --> 2584.14] and out +[2584.14 --> 2584.92] of oxygen +[2584.92 --> 2586.38] awesome +[2586.38 --> 2588.26] so Swift +[2588.26 --> 2588.70] Tech launches +[2588.70 --> 2589.96] their 240x +[2589.96 --> 2590.94] h240x +[2590.94 --> 2591.22] I believe +[2591.22 --> 2591.60] this was +[2591.60 --> 2592.56] fairly stealthy +[2592.56 --> 2593.84] I saw a bunch +[2593.84 --> 2594.42] of the comments +[2594.42 --> 2595.36] on the forum +[2595.36 --> 2595.98] thread about this +[2595.98 --> 2596.52] posted by +[2596.52 --> 2597.04] worldwin +[2597.04 --> 2597.70] oh I should +[2597.70 --> 2598.24] jump up +[2598.24 --> 2599.32] so the +[2599.32 --> 2600.06] new patch +[2600.06 --> 2600.24] from the +[2600.24 --> 2600.72] moto 360 +[2600.72 --> 2601.16] was posted +[2601.16 --> 2601.56] on the forum +[2601.56 --> 2602.12] by ren +[2602.12 --> 2603.00] the pebble +[2603.00 --> 2603.50] price drops +[2603.50 --> 2603.92] was posted +[2603.92 --> 2604.50] on the forum +[2604.50 --> 2605.24] by raf +[2605.24 --> 2606.52] banan +[2606.52 --> 2607.68] there's two +[2607.68 --> 2608.16] a's there +[2608.16 --> 2608.60] I don't know +[2608.60 --> 2609.02] how to properly +[2609.02 --> 2609.36] do that +[2609.36 --> 2609.72] other than +[2609.72 --> 2610.74] aaaah +[2610.74 --> 2611.48] so +[2611.48 --> 2612.78] he wins +[2612.78 --> 2613.34] the literally +[2613.34 --> 2614.12] entire world +[2614.12 --> 2614.40] yeah +[2614.40 --> 2615.72] win the world +[2615.72 --> 2616.82] the whole +[2616.82 --> 2617.24] thing +[2617.24 --> 2617.72] everything +[2617.72 --> 2618.28] that you +[2618.28 --> 2618.76] can possibly +[2618.76 --> 2619.04] win +[2619.04 --> 2619.38] is won +[2619.38 --> 2619.72] by him +[2619.72 --> 2620.32] anyways +[2620.32 --> 2621.52] I believe +[2621.52 --> 2621.70] it was +[2621.70 --> 2622.22] fairly stealthy +[2622.22 --> 2622.56] because a whole +[2622.56 --> 2622.78] bunch of +[2622.78 --> 2623.58] posters on +[2623.58 --> 2624.04] the forum +[2624.04 --> 2625.16] were talking +[2625.16 --> 2625.42] about how +[2625.42 --> 2625.66] they were +[2625.66 --> 2626.26] actually looking +[2626.26 --> 2626.98] to buy +[2626.98 --> 2627.96] a 240x +[2627.96 --> 2628.30] and then +[2628.30 --> 2628.82] just randomly +[2628.82 --> 2629.68] saw on +[2629.68 --> 2630.14] Swift Tech's +[2630.14 --> 2630.36] website +[2630.36 --> 2630.76] that there +[2630.76 --> 2631.48] was a +[2631.48 --> 2632.20] sorry +[2632.20 --> 2632.54] they were +[2632.54 --> 2632.82] looking to +[2632.82 --> 2633.70] buy a 220x +[2633.70 --> 2634.54] and then they +[2634.54 --> 2634.90] saw on the +[2634.90 --> 2635.26] website that +[2635.26 --> 2635.58] there was a +[2635.58 --> 2636.28] 240x +[2636.28 --> 2637.66] I don't think +[2637.66 --> 2638.00] there's any +[2638.00 --> 2639.68] massive changes +[2639.68 --> 2640.26] other than the +[2640.26 --> 2640.60] fact that it +[2640.60 --> 2641.08] is a dual +[2641.08 --> 2642.14] 140mm +[2642.14 --> 2643.44] copper radiator +[2643.44 --> 2644.30] other than that +[2644.30 --> 2644.78] I believe it's +[2644.78 --> 2645.54] the same type +[2645.54 --> 2646.08] of idea +[2646.08 --> 2646.86] so they have +[2646.86 --> 2647.76] a full pump +[2647.76 --> 2648.92] a full radiator +[2648.92 --> 2650.60] reservoir attached +[2650.60 --> 2651.14] to the radiator +[2651.14 --> 2652.00] and then a full +[2652.00 --> 2653.86] standard water +[2653.86 --> 2654.22] block +[2654.22 --> 2655.20] so I think +[2655.20 --> 2655.86] this is essentially +[2655.86 --> 2656.54] as close as you +[2656.54 --> 2657.58] can get to +[2657.58 --> 2658.64] standard water +[2658.64 --> 2659.68] cooling with +[2659.68 --> 2660.92] an AIO style +[2660.92 --> 2661.70] unit out of +[2661.70 --> 2662.04] anything +[2662.04 --> 2663.12] would you agree +[2663.12 --> 2663.56] with that +[2663.56 --> 2664.20] probably +[2664.20 --> 2665.40] yeah pretty much +[2665.40 --> 2666.14] I think it's +[2666.14 --> 2666.74] cool how they +[2666.74 --> 2667.38] hide the pump +[2667.38 --> 2668.62] up behind the +[2668.62 --> 2669.46] flow rate monitor +[2669.46 --> 2670.06] in the top +[2670.06 --> 2670.88] which makes it +[2670.88 --> 2671.46] look extremely +[2671.46 --> 2672.44] compact but then +[2672.44 --> 2673.20] still uses full +[2673.20 --> 2673.84] size components +[2673.84 --> 2674.76] which is awesome +[2674.76 --> 2675.76] something that I +[2675.76 --> 2676.52] appreciate a lot +[2676.52 --> 2677.36] I don't see a lot +[2677.36 --> 2678.20] of AIOs failing +[2678.20 --> 2679.26] but it's still +[2679.26 --> 2679.92] nice to know +[2679.92 --> 2680.60] that I have this +[2680.60 --> 2681.50] full size pump +[2681.50 --> 2682.26] which I could +[2682.26 --> 2683.12] honestly swap out +[2683.12 --> 2683.60] if I really +[2683.60 --> 2684.18] needed to +[2684.18 --> 2686.08] I like +[2686.08 --> 2686.70] I like +[2686.70 --> 2688.14] AIOs that +[2688.14 --> 2689.38] are after +[2689.38 --> 2690.20] the concept +[2690.20 --> 2691.40] of being +[2691.40 --> 2692.66] more like +[2692.66 --> 2693.50] an actual +[2693.50 --> 2694.82] liquid cooling +[2694.82 --> 2695.26] setup +[2695.26 --> 2696.10] I think that's +[2696.10 --> 2696.98] I think that's +[2696.98 --> 2697.66] a great direction +[2697.66 --> 2698.46] for them to go +[2698.46 --> 2699.32] Swift Tech's done +[2699.32 --> 2700.72] an okay job +[2700.72 --> 2701.80] of making their +[2701.80 --> 2703.36] AIOs drop in +[2703.36 --> 2704.34] I think that +[2704.34 --> 2704.94] their last +[2704.94 --> 2705.86] generation one +[2705.86 --> 2706.74] actually did a +[2706.74 --> 2707.74] better job of +[2707.74 --> 2708.04] this +[2708.04 --> 2708.90] of making it +[2708.90 --> 2709.38] drop in +[2709.38 --> 2710.10] because it did +[2710.10 --> 2710.64] have the pump +[2710.64 --> 2711.38] integrated with +[2711.38 --> 2712.22] the CPU block +[2712.22 --> 2713.40] so you could +[2713.40 --> 2714.22] mount the radiator +[2714.22 --> 2715.32] in different places +[2715.32 --> 2716.14] much more easily +[2716.14 --> 2717.08] whereas these ones +[2717.08 --> 2717.88] really have to go +[2717.88 --> 2718.52] on the top of your +[2718.52 --> 2718.80] case +[2718.80 --> 2720.80] but the newer +[2720.80 --> 2721.58] ones so the +[2721.58 --> 2722.68] H220X and the +[2722.68 --> 2724.02] H240X the fact +[2724.02 --> 2725.10] that they are +[2725.10 --> 2725.72] mounted in the +[2725.72 --> 2726.38] top of the case +[2726.38 --> 2727.14] but they're much +[2727.14 --> 2728.04] more expandable +[2728.04 --> 2729.38] and much more +[2729.38 --> 2730.48] reliable from what +[2730.48 --> 2731.18] Swift Tech's saying +[2731.18 --> 2732.24] about them is +[2732.24 --> 2733.88] also great too +[2733.88 --> 2734.90] so I mean +[2734.90 --> 2736.28] maybe there's +[2736.28 --> 2737.18] room for Swift +[2737.18 --> 2737.84] Tech to have +[2737.84 --> 2738.70] both options +[2738.70 --> 2739.68] a less powerful +[2739.68 --> 2741.34] central CPU +[2741.34 --> 2742.38] block based pump +[2742.38 --> 2743.12] unit where you +[2743.12 --> 2743.48] have more +[2743.48 --> 2744.36] radiator flexibility +[2744.36 --> 2745.78] and then these +[2745.78 --> 2747.30] H220X X series +[2747.30 --> 2748.80] ones to take +[2748.80 --> 2749.24] care of people +[2749.24 --> 2749.78] who are okay +[2749.78 --> 2750.40] having it in the +[2750.40 --> 2751.16] top and only +[2751.16 --> 2751.90] the top and +[2751.90 --> 2752.76] that is it +[2752.76 --> 2753.48] that is going to +[2753.48 --> 2754.18] be very applicable +[2754.18 --> 2755.14] in a couple days +[2755.14 --> 2755.78] yeah I won't be +[2755.78 --> 2756.44] doing that accent +[2756.44 --> 2757.00] when we're over there +[2757.00 --> 2757.52] not so much +[2757.52 --> 2758.20] probably not a +[2758.20 --> 2758.74] terrible idea +[2758.74 --> 2760.28] yeah so for +[2760.28 --> 2760.84] those of you who +[2760.84 --> 2761.44] don't know this +[2761.44 --> 2762.26] already Luke and +[2762.26 --> 2763.60] I are doing a +[2763.60 --> 2765.50] German road trip +[2765.50 --> 2766.26] German excursion +[2766.26 --> 2767.24] yeah we're going +[2767.24 --> 2768.22] to be touring the +[2768.22 --> 2769.56] Sennheiser factory +[2769.56 --> 2771.04] which is going to +[2771.04 --> 2771.60] be pretty cool +[2771.60 --> 2772.00] that's going to be +[2772.00 --> 2772.26] sweet +[2772.26 --> 2772.64] we're going to +[2772.64 --> 2773.70] meet like the +[2773.70 --> 2774.76] dude who designs +[2774.76 --> 2775.90] like the headphones +[2775.90 --> 2777.18] that's awesome +[2777.18 --> 2777.80] which is going to +[2777.80 --> 2778.06] be cool +[2778.06 --> 2778.70] I'm actually so +[2778.70 --> 2779.88] stoked but more +[2779.88 --> 2780.94] stoked for +[2780.94 --> 2782.46] Cherry MX +[2782.46 --> 2783.60] so we're going to +[2783.60 --> 2784.74] see Cherry Corpse +[2784.74 --> 2786.04] manufacturing facility +[2786.04 --> 2787.76] as well so next +[2787.76 --> 2788.72] week is going to +[2788.72 --> 2790.00] be all about +[2790.00 --> 2790.78] the German +[2790.78 --> 2792.16] engineering and +[2792.16 --> 2792.92] the German +[2792.92 --> 2795.12] manufacturing so +[2795.12 --> 2796.14] both for keyboard +[2796.14 --> 2797.18] switches and for +[2797.18 --> 2798.94] headphones both Luke +[2798.94 --> 2800.20] and I I guess if you +[2800.20 --> 2801.06] were going to pick +[2801.06 --> 2802.96] like you know half a +[2802.96 --> 2804.44] dozen companies that +[2804.44 --> 2805.60] we think are pretty +[2805.60 --> 2806.70] cool and we tend to +[2806.70 --> 2807.58] really like what they +[2807.58 --> 2808.76] do I think Cherry +[2808.76 --> 2809.72] would be on the list +[2809.72 --> 2810.60] and Sennheiser would +[2810.60 --> 2811.36] be on the list as +[2811.36 --> 2813.46] well so we're pretty +[2813.46 --> 2814.68] pretty stoked to check +[2814.68 --> 2815.16] that out +[2815.16 --> 2816.04] definitely stoked on +[2816.04 --> 2817.54] that change oh no +[2817.54 --> 2818.54] you go that was +[2818.54 --> 2819.78] posted no that was +[2819.78 --> 2820.68] not posted by him +[2820.68 --> 2821.90] yeah right whirlwind +[2821.90 --> 2823.42] speaking of things +[2823.42 --> 2824.68] that are we should +[2824.68 --> 2825.66] probably check out +[2825.66 --> 2827.82] Windows 10 not +[2827.82 --> 2829.18] Windows 9 it's funny +[2829.18 --> 2829.92] because we made that +[2829.92 --> 2831.20] joke Windows 9 +[2831.20 --> 2832.88] Windows Windows no +[2832.88 --> 2835.86] and we were right +[2835.86 --> 2837.48] yep actually that is +[2837.48 --> 2838.60] kind of true and the +[2838.60 --> 2839.66] reason they did it was +[2839.66 --> 2841.26] because they wanted to +[2841.26 --> 2843.36] separate the next +[2843.36 --> 2844.78] Windows from Windows +[2844.78 --> 2847.28] 8.1 as much as +[2847.28 --> 2848.52] possible basically +[2848.52 --> 2850.04] they didn't want +[2850.04 --> 2851.16] people to feel like +[2851.16 --> 2852.50] it was an iterative +[2852.50 --> 2854.08] improvement on Windows +[2854.08 --> 2856.04] 8 which honestly I +[2856.04 --> 2856.92] don't think Windows +[2856.92 --> 2857.78] 9 would have sounded +[2857.78 --> 2859.16] like if they called it +[2859.16 --> 2860.74] Windows 8.2 that +[2860.74 --> 2861.46] probably would have +[2861.46 --> 2862.14] sounded like an +[2862.14 --> 2862.36] iteration +[2862.36 --> 2863.14] they're super drunk +[2863.14 --> 2864.28] to be completely honest +[2864.28 --> 2865.12] that's all I really +[2865.12 --> 2865.80] have to say about that +[2865.80 --> 2866.70] that's super dumb +[2866.70 --> 2867.54] it's funny because +[2867.54 --> 2868.82] they made the joke +[2868.82 --> 2870.24] about we're gonna +[2870.24 --> 2871.54] call it Windows 1 +[2871.54 --> 2873.04] yeah yeah yeah +[2873.04 --> 2874.34] and they weren't even +[2874.34 --> 2875.92] self-aware enough as +[2875.92 --> 2877.08] far as I can tell to +[2877.08 --> 2878.00] realize that just +[2878.00 --> 2878.88] because they didn't +[2878.88 --> 2880.42] call it 1 doesn't +[2880.42 --> 2881.14] mean that what they +[2881.14 --> 2882.00] did was any less +[2882.00 --> 2884.54] stupid it's still not +[2884.54 --> 2886.30] how you count Vista +[2886.30 --> 2888.68] 7 8 10 come on they +[2888.68 --> 2890.08] can't even hold it +[2890.08 --> 2891.54] together for three +[2891.54 --> 2892.90] releases in a row +[2892.90 --> 2894.18] actually yes they can +[2894.18 --> 2896.70] 95 98 2000 there you +[2896.70 --> 2898.24] go okay so they can't +[2898.24 --> 2899.08] even hold it together +[2899.08 --> 2900.64] for four releases in a +[2900.64 --> 2902.00] row yeah oh wait +[2902.00 --> 2902.88] well hold on a second +[2902.88 --> 2906.08] me came first but it's +[2906.08 --> 2910.32] oh but me is +[2910.32 --> 2912.12] millennium still +[2912.12 --> 2913.26] referencing a year +[2913.26 --> 2916.38] oh come on now no I +[2916.38 --> 2917.56] know I agree with you +[2917.56 --> 2920.62] but they like sort of +[2920.62 --> 2922.34] tried at least they +[2922.34 --> 2923.30] didn't just completely +[2923.30 --> 2924.36] skip a number they +[2924.36 --> 2926.68] weren't like 2014 but +[2926.68 --> 2929.06] it's 2000 but we're +[2929.06 --> 2929.90] gonna release 2014 +[2929.90 --> 2931.22] because it sounds much +[2931.22 --> 2932.96] better one of my +[2932.96 --> 2933.96] favorite quotes was I +[2933.96 --> 2934.64] don't remember exactly +[2934.64 --> 2935.28] what he said but +[2935.28 --> 2936.22] essentially it was along +[2936.22 --> 2937.18] the lines of once you +[2937.18 --> 2937.96] once you fire up +[2937.96 --> 2939.14] Windows 10 and you see +[2939.14 --> 2940.36] how awesome it is you +[2940.36 --> 2941.56] won't question why we +[2941.56 --> 2943.32] jumped a number it's +[2943.32 --> 2944.74] like actually that has +[2944.74 --> 2945.50] nothing to do with +[2945.50 --> 2947.22] anything ever at any +[2947.22 --> 2948.00] point in time that +[2948.00 --> 2949.52] makes no sense at all +[2949.52 --> 2951.42] because even if it was +[2951.42 --> 2952.96] a massive change like +[2952.96 --> 2955.28] XP to Vista it wasn't +[2955.28 --> 2956.56] like you didn't go like +[2956.56 --> 2960.36] XP to XP 3 because +[2960.36 --> 2961.30] what that would +[2961.30 --> 2961.98] make any sense +[2961.98 --> 2964.28] anyways I've seen +[2964.28 --> 2964.90] quite a few people +[2964.90 --> 2965.54] that have tried it so +[2965.54 --> 2966.70] far and it seems kind +[2966.70 --> 2968.40] of generally broken to +[2968.40 --> 2969.28] be completely honest +[2969.28 --> 2971.90] the GUI is apparently +[2971.90 --> 2972.96] far from complete +[2972.96 --> 2973.80] there's a lot of +[2973.80 --> 2974.88] problems it seems very +[2974.88 --> 2975.92] unpolished there's a +[2975.92 --> 2976.52] tons of missing +[2976.52 --> 2978.10] innovations all that +[2978.10 --> 2979.12] kind of stuff and +[2979.12 --> 2980.04] their biggest feature +[2980.04 --> 2980.84] that they're toting is +[2980.84 --> 2981.76] the return of the start +[2981.76 --> 2982.74] menu which is +[2982.74 --> 2985.42] fantastic but but +[2985.42 --> 2986.72] also a little frustrating +[2986.72 --> 2987.74] because when they first +[2987.74 --> 2988.98] showed off this hybrid +[2988.98 --> 2991.28] start menu start screen +[2991.28 --> 2993.08] thing it was being +[2993.08 --> 2994.24] pitched as a feature +[2994.24 --> 2994.98] that we were going to +[2994.98 --> 2996.06] see in the next update +[2996.06 --> 2998.42] to Windows 8.1 yes and +[2998.42 --> 2999.68] oh hold on we're not +[2999.68 --> 3000.60] doing that okay hold on +[3000.60 --> 3002.34] a second um hold off +[3002.34 --> 3003.20] for a couple months now +[3003.20 --> 3003.84] we're going to throw you +[3003.84 --> 3005.24] guys this Windows 10 +[3005.24 --> 3006.48] preview which isn't +[3006.48 --> 3007.26] going to come into out +[3007.26 --> 3009.72] until late 2015 yeah +[3009.72 --> 3011.62] we're we're months away +[3011.62 --> 3013.28] we're almost a year away +[3013.28 --> 3015.08] from Windows 10 actually +[3015.08 --> 3016.04] being something you can +[3016.04 --> 3017.22] install on your system +[3017.22 --> 3018.30] and run as a production +[3018.30 --> 3019.80] OS production OS yeah +[3019.80 --> 3020.80] okay because you can get +[3020.80 --> 3021.74] the technical preview +[3021.74 --> 3022.64] right now but it is +[3022.64 --> 3023.86] right now totally broken +[3023.86 --> 3024.72] balls and it has some +[3024.72 --> 3025.92] cool stuff like now +[3025.92 --> 3026.72] instead of just being +[3026.72 --> 3027.98] able to snap windows to +[3027.98 --> 3029.22] the sides yes side by +[3029.22 --> 3030.32] side reading you can +[3030.32 --> 3031.86] snap to corners so you +[3031.86 --> 3032.78] can actually have four +[3032.78 --> 3033.52] things on screen +[3033.52 --> 3034.52] something folks with +[3034.52 --> 3035.82] large monitors are +[3035.82 --> 3036.50] going to be pretty +[3036.50 --> 3038.28] impressed with and then +[3038.28 --> 3039.28] another really cool thing +[3039.28 --> 3040.06] about it is you can +[3040.06 --> 3041.14] actually have virtual +[3041.14 --> 3042.68] desktops it's funny +[3042.68 --> 3044.02] because I've seen +[3044.02 --> 3045.72] virtual desktops working +[3045.72 --> 3048.44] as far back as third +[3048.44 --> 3051.02] party UI modifiers for +[3051.02 --> 3052.24] Windows XP I was good +[3052.24 --> 3052.94] yeah I was gonna say +[3052.94 --> 3054.12] like as far back as +[3054.12 --> 3055.52] super far back and +[3055.52 --> 3056.88] yesterday because they +[3056.88 --> 3058.54] could work now yes +[3058.54 --> 3060.06] they're not new so so +[3060.06 --> 3061.42] it's not a new idea but +[3061.42 --> 3062.60] basically a virtual +[3062.60 --> 3063.96] desktop would be +[3063.96 --> 3065.92] different different +[3065.92 --> 3066.98] different desktops +[3066.98 --> 3067.70] depending on what you +[3067.70 --> 3068.46] want to do so you can +[3068.46 --> 3069.42] have a different set of +[3069.42 --> 3070.92] applications open and +[3070.92 --> 3071.86] have them spread out a +[3071.86 --> 3073.10] different way depending +[3073.10 --> 3074.54] on what kind of thing +[3074.54 --> 3075.44] you want to do so for +[3075.44 --> 3079.00] example you could have +[3079.00 --> 3081.26] like steam and you play +[3081.26 --> 3083.90] and origin and you said +[3083.90 --> 3084.72] Warner Brothers maybe +[3084.72 --> 3085.82] that Warner Brothers one +[3085.82 --> 3086.62] that they're working on +[3086.62 --> 3087.60] oh what a nightmare +[3087.60 --> 3089.26] anyway you could have +[3089.26 --> 3090.54] one virtual desktop that +[3090.54 --> 3091.84] has all those pop-ups so +[3091.84 --> 3092.90] all your game libraries +[3092.90 --> 3093.86] are right there in front of +[3093.86 --> 3094.60] you you could have +[3094.60 --> 3096.20] another one that has you +[3096.20 --> 3098.00] know Chrome up here and +[3098.00 --> 3099.70] then you know Word over +[3099.70 --> 3101.18] here and something else +[3101.18 --> 3102.46] like a video over here so +[3102.46 --> 3103.14] you can sit and watch +[3103.14 --> 3104.30] streams while you research +[3104.30 --> 3105.14] and do homework for +[3105.14 --> 3106.82] example and then you are +[3106.82 --> 3107.76] supposed to it's a little +[3107.76 --> 3108.74] glitchy right now especially +[3108.74 --> 3110.02] for multi-monitor users +[3110.02 --> 3111.10] you're supposed to be able +[3111.10 --> 3112.06] to switch between them +[3112.06 --> 3113.84] that's pretty friggin cool +[3113.84 --> 3116.34] yes it is but it's also +[3116.34 --> 3117.88] been a previous feature of +[3117.88 --> 3119.70] Windows kind of been a +[3119.70 --> 3120.68] feature of Linux for an +[3120.68 --> 3122.70] extremely long time yes and +[3122.70 --> 3123.74] is able to be done by +[3123.74 --> 3124.62] third-party applications +[3124.62 --> 3125.60] already one thing that I +[3125.60 --> 3127.42] know that's definitely +[3127.42 --> 3128.06] going to come up with a +[3128.06 --> 3128.54] whole bunch of search +[3128.54 --> 3129.60] results I just hope they +[3129.60 --> 3130.92] at least divide it in a +[3130.92 --> 3131.74] very good way and they +[3131.74 --> 3132.52] don't put web search +[3132.52 --> 3133.68] results at the top or +[3133.68 --> 3134.18] it's extremely +[3134.18 --> 3135.36] configurable either one I'll +[3135.36 --> 3136.32] be happy about one thing +[3136.32 --> 3137.08] that we were talking about +[3137.08 --> 3139.24] was we were questioning +[3139.24 --> 3141.30] whether or not those tiles +[3141.30 --> 3142.12] were going to be extremely +[3142.12 --> 3143.22] configurable because I +[3143.22 --> 3143.96] talked about how it could +[3143.96 --> 3145.30] be pretty cool if you +[3145.30 --> 3147.20] wanted to put like certain +[3147.20 --> 3148.48] websites that you go to a +[3148.48 --> 3149.52] lot and then a whole bunch +[3149.52 --> 3150.82] of games and stuff right but +[3150.82 --> 3151.74] I didn't want it to like +[3151.74 --> 3153.02] just be an auto population +[3153.02 --> 3153.74] or something like that +[3153.74 --> 3155.16] it is a configurable space +[3155.16 --> 3157.16] right and one thing that +[3157.16 --> 3158.32] could be really interesting +[3158.32 --> 3159.56] actually is if they made +[3159.56 --> 3160.60] it so that those switching +[3160.60 --> 3161.84] desktops were able to have +[3161.84 --> 3162.78] their own unique start +[3162.78 --> 3164.32] menus mm-hmm so maybe you +[3164.32 --> 3165.12] could have a production +[3165.12 --> 3167.66] production desktop we have +[3167.66 --> 3169.64] like Excel word all that +[3169.64 --> 3171.66] junk and like work websites +[3171.66 --> 3174.72] in the nice kind of like I'm +[3174.72 --> 3175.58] gonna say Metro that's not +[3175.58 --> 3177.00] the right word modern UI style +[3177.00 --> 3178.20] tiles on the right-hand side +[3178.20 --> 3179.42] and then you switch to like +[3179.42 --> 3180.70] your gaming one it's like +[3180.70 --> 3181.84] gaming websites linus +[3181.84 --> 3184.12] desktops.com steam all that +[3184.12 --> 3185.86] crap yeah I'd love that that +[3185.86 --> 3186.58] would be pretty cool I don't +[3186.58 --> 3187.76] know if that's a thing but +[3187.76 --> 3188.98] that would be cool yeah we'll +[3188.98 --> 3190.20] have to look into it I mean +[3190.20 --> 3192.74] honestly I've been gearing up +[3192.74 --> 3193.88] for the trip to Germany making +[3193.88 --> 3194.76] sure that we're gonna have +[3194.76 --> 3195.84] some videos while we're gone +[3195.84 --> 3197.50] we've actually got some great +[3197.50 --> 3199.12] videos queued up we're gonna be +[3199.12 --> 3202.12] taking a look at the 5820k so +[3202.12 --> 3203.88] that's Intel's lower cost six +[3203.88 --> 3206.12] core on LGA 2011 versus the +[3206.12 --> 3208.84] 5930k and because the main +[3208.84 --> 3210.32] difference between these chips is +[3210.32 --> 3211.74] like a six percent difference in +[3211.74 --> 3215.48] clock speed and that's it except +[3215.48 --> 3218.96] that the 5820k has quite a few +[3218.96 --> 3220.66] fewer it's actually got 12 fewer +[3220.66 --> 3223.56] PCI Express lanes so multi GPU +[3223.56 --> 3225.68] support is limited in terms of how +[3225.68 --> 3227.08] much bandwidth that can deliver to +[3227.08 --> 3228.74] each card so we take a really close +[3228.74 --> 3231.26] look at how that affects +[3231.26 --> 3233.30] performance then we've got another +[3233.30 --> 3234.50] really great one where we're going to +[3234.50 --> 3237.20] be looking at SLI scaling with GTX 980 +[3237.20 --> 3239.88] from one GPU to two to three to four +[3239.88 --> 3242.68] at 4k how it scales and how the +[3242.68 --> 3244.54] gameplay experience is affected by +[3244.54 --> 3246.10] adding more graphics cards so I'm +[3246.10 --> 3247.54] pretty I'm pretty stoked on those +[3247.54 --> 3249.22] will be pretty cool videos and then I +[3249.22 --> 3250.60] even have my ultimate keycap +[3250.60 --> 3252.44] replacement guide yes I've been +[3252.44 --> 3254.48] working on a lot lately I think that's +[3254.48 --> 3256.36] scheduled for next Tuesday night it's +[3256.92 --> 3259.08] an ultimate guide so remember guys our +[3259.08 --> 3261.32] ultimate guides are the best videos we +[3261.32 --> 3263.86] can make so our build guides things like +[3263.86 --> 3265.64] that graphics card water block +[3265.64 --> 3267.52] installation guide although that's a +[3267.52 --> 3268.64] bit of an older ultimate guide we're +[3268.64 --> 3271.76] better now but Luke's is looking like +[3271.76 --> 3273.82] it's shaping up to be pretty darn cool +[3273.82 --> 3275.66] the only thing I'm worried about is +[3275.66 --> 3278.02] while it's being edited I will not be in +[3278.02 --> 3282.36] the country yes and it's very long so I +[3282.36 --> 3283.88] don't know I hope that works out quite +[3283.88 --> 3286.26] well but we're not entirely sure and +[3286.26 --> 3288.14] then one of the most exciting things of +[3288.14 --> 3291.06] my week because anytime any news comes +[3291.06 --> 3294.42] from mr. Elon Musk at all ever I get +[3294.42 --> 3296.74] super excited there's more information +[3296.74 --> 3298.62] about the Tesla Model D so all he +[3298.62 --> 3301.40] released was a picture of like a garage +[3301.40 --> 3303.12] door that was partially open and you +[3303.12 --> 3304.40] could just kind of see like the +[3304.40 --> 3305.68] headlights and a little bit of the +[3305.68 --> 3309.48] front of the car but people are not +[3309.48 --> 3311.58] entirely sure what it is it could be +[3311.58 --> 3315.76] that cheap well cheap quote-unquote car +[3315.76 --> 3317.10] that Tesla has been talking about for a +[3317.10 --> 3319.00] little while or that might not be the +[3319.00 --> 3320.14] reveal it could be something else +[3320.14 --> 3321.20] completely different because they've +[3321.20 --> 3322.10] already been talking about that a +[3322.10 --> 3323.48] little bit people are unsure I +[3323.48 --> 3324.96] personally think it's probably gonna be +[3324.96 --> 3326.22] the cheap one yeah that they've been +[3326.22 --> 3327.70] talking about especially because the +[3327.70 --> 3329.84] front of the car looked like a car and +[3329.84 --> 3331.38] not a different type of thing like an +[3331.38 --> 3333.78] SUV yeah I saw some speculation oh maybe +[3333.78 --> 3336.40] they'll unveil a truck but it looked too +[3336.40 --> 3339.32] low yes look like a truck yeah it looked +[3339.32 --> 3343.24] like a car so it's probably the cheaper +[3343.24 --> 3345.00] version of a Tesla that they've been +[3345.00 --> 3346.64] talking about for a little while and +[3346.64 --> 3348.00] they've also said that there's other +[3348.00 --> 3350.00] information coming soon which is +[3350.00 --> 3351.92] probably talking about right by the way +[3351.92 --> 3354.18] that was posted on the forum by +[3354.18 --> 3357.70] Heisenblerg Heisenblerg thank you +[3357.70 --> 3360.86] Heisenblerg and then this next topic +[3360.86 --> 3362.68] which is Elon Musk saying that Tesla's +[3362.68 --> 3365.04] will be able to self-drive 90% of the +[3365.04 --> 3367.24] time was posted on the forum by Sherman +[3367.24 --> 3369.90] tanker that's incredible that is okay +[3369.90 --> 3372.50] sorry he hasn't said the date yet that's +[3372.50 --> 3375.18] the incredible part uh what is it by +[3375.18 --> 3378.56] 2015 2015 coming early oh wait no model +[3378.56 --> 3380.56] x is coming early 2015 so yeah sometime +[3380.56 --> 3383.78] next year which is pretty insane and I +[3383.78 --> 3385.78] love how smug he is about everything and +[3385.78 --> 3387.50] then he just manages to do it that's my +[3387.50 --> 3389.18] favorite part we're a Silicon Valley +[3389.18 --> 3391.04] company so you know we're not leading +[3391.04 --> 3393.80] the way then you know all is not right +[3393.80 --> 3396.44] in the universe basically yeah because I +[3396.44 --> 3397.78] mean it's not like other car +[3397.78 --> 3399.70] manufacturers aren't talking about +[3399.70 --> 3401.88] self-driving or excuse me as Musk calls +[3401.88 --> 3403.86] it autopilot yeah which I personally +[3403.86 --> 3407.02] think is way cooler oh yeah like a +[3407.02 --> 3409.96] hundred self-driving car or car with +[3409.96 --> 3412.54] autopilot badass yeah I want a car with +[3412.54 --> 3413.86] autopilot it's not like other guys +[3413.86 --> 3415.82] aren't talking about it GM's promised a +[3415.82 --> 3419.24] hands-free mode for some 2017 models and +[3419.24 --> 3421.80] most are speculating 2020 as a reasonable +[3421.80 --> 3423.72] year for the release of self-driving cars +[3423.72 --> 3427.08] I want autopilot cars Musk claims it's +[3427.08 --> 3430.32] months away from retail for his 90% +[3430.32 --> 3432.74] autopilot and some of the things that +[3432.74 --> 3434.04] he's talking about that would be in the +[3434.04 --> 3438.12] 10% are stuff like difficult to manage +[3438.12 --> 3442.46] like terrain right and like debris on the +[3442.46 --> 3444.62] road it's not like they can't they can't +[3444.62 --> 3446.50] just kind of cruise around right now it's +[3446.50 --> 3448.66] it's the bad situations that you want +[3448.66 --> 3450.36] your car to be able to handle can't +[3450.36 --> 3451.92] necessarily handle and you know the +[3451.92 --> 3454.12] funny thing about it is these things +[3454.12 --> 3456.64] that self-driving or autopiloted cars +[3456.64 --> 3461.00] have to overcome now are mostly to do +[3461.00 --> 3464.10] with other drivers being hazards so they +[3464.10 --> 3468.06] have to overcome this just to gain enough +[3468.06 --> 3470.32] acceptance to eventually make it to a +[3470.32 --> 3472.64] future where it doesn't matter because +[3472.64 --> 3474.48] every other car on the road will behave +[3474.48 --> 3476.54] in a predictable manner yeah but then +[3476.54 --> 3478.88] there is other things bizarre and that is +[3478.88 --> 3480.60] bizarre and you are completely correct but +[3480.60 --> 3482.40] there is other reasons why they might have +[3482.40 --> 3485.16] to be careful too if if a house falls over +[3485.16 --> 3487.26] and there's debris in the road or if +[3487.26 --> 3488.94] there's if there's some sort of rock +[3488.94 --> 3491.18] fall adverse weather effects that are +[3491.18 --> 3493.94] somehow unpredictable in some way yeah +[3493.94 --> 3495.86] all these kinds of things yes it gets +[3495.86 --> 3498.40] knocked over but those are much less +[3498.40 --> 3500.54] frequent than some drunk dude crashing +[3500.54 --> 3503.04] into a wall and making debris go all over +[3503.04 --> 3505.02] the road so that is more what they have +[3505.02 --> 3507.76] to take care of I know Elon Musk I I +[3507.76 --> 3509.30] tweeted him a hilarious thing about +[3509.30 --> 3511.48] wanting the D and I think half of the +[3511.48 --> 3513.66] entire internet did as well and he +[3513.66 --> 3515.70] replied the next day saying like oh the +[3515.70 --> 3517.02] internet is hilarious that wasn't my +[3517.02 --> 3519.98] intention I don't believe you at all +[3519.98 --> 3524.76] that is such full cap yeah no no no +[3524.76 --> 3528.18] because okay he wanted to release cars in +[3528.18 --> 3531.94] the order of se and x because he thought +[3531.94 --> 3533.80] that would be funny and then announcing +[3533.80 --> 3535.74] like asking people if they want to know +[3535.74 --> 3540.72] more about the D yeah so much innuendo +[3540.72 --> 3542.80] there's no way that's not on that's +[3542.80 --> 3545.18] not intentional so intentional oh my +[3545.18 --> 3546.74] goodness I love it and that's hilarious +[3546.74 --> 3549.42] and it's cool to see someone running one +[3549.42 --> 3551.62] of these massive very important companies +[3551.62 --> 3554.18] being able to like have a joke about +[3554.18 --> 3556.04] these have a sense of humor about this +[3556.04 --> 3558.04] stuff I mean why does product naming have +[3558.04 --> 3562.26] to be so stuffy yeah you know have some +[3562.26 --> 3565.16] fun with it I mean I'm sure that at least a +[3565.16 --> 3567.06] handful of you have noticed that our +[3567.06 --> 3569.32] secondary channel is called tech quickie +[3569.32 --> 3571.70] and that our primary format is called +[3571.70 --> 3575.64] fast as possible come on now more people +[3575.64 --> 3577.02] have noticed you know the number of people +[3577.02 --> 3580.44] who have pointed that out to me as if I +[3580.44 --> 3584.16] didn't know by the way your channel is very +[3584.16 --> 3587.54] like innuendo not sure if you do yeah +[3587.54 --> 3589.14] I thought jokes on the WAN show sometimes +[3589.14 --> 3591.14] I thought perhaps you didn't notice that +[3591.14 --> 3593.48] did you know that fast as possible is an +[3593.48 --> 3599.66] acronym for something else you know how +[3599.66 --> 3601.74] long it came us to took us to come up +[3601.74 --> 3603.90] with that name yeah eventually we found +[3603.90 --> 3605.64] one that fit was like wow that's awesome +[3605.64 --> 3608.28] and yeah with that yeah even tech quickie +[3608.28 --> 3611.16] even tech quickie we we couldn't even find +[3611.16 --> 3613.12] find a channel name that was available +[3613.12 --> 3615.36] that we were happy with we actually bought +[3615.36 --> 3620.02] tech quickie for a GTX 670 and a three +[3620.02 --> 3622.92] terabyte hard drive I shipped it to some +[3622.92 --> 3625.32] guy in Singapore and he transferred the +[3625.32 --> 3627.78] channel to me that's hilarious yeah it +[3627.78 --> 3629.68] actually had a bunch of videos on it so +[3629.68 --> 3631.12] he transferred the channel to me I nuked +[3631.12 --> 3633.90] them all we started over nice he wasn't +[3633.90 --> 3637.28] gonna do the deal with me until he until +[3637.28 --> 3640.00] he saw our primary channel and he was like +[3640.00 --> 3642.70] oh yeah you guys are like you guys are +[3642.70 --> 3644.70] pretty cool you guys do cool stuff you +[3644.70 --> 3647.18] need this more than I do oh but I would +[3647.18 --> 3649.60] definitely like some hardware I was like +[3649.60 --> 3653.16] okay man sure dude you got this that's +[3653.16 --> 3654.62] kind of cool I didn't actually know that +[3654.62 --> 3656.40] story I knew we acquired it through some +[3656.40 --> 3657.78] way and I knew we traded Howard but I +[3657.78 --> 3659.48] didn't know like the whole yeah no he +[3659.48 --> 3661.12] didn't even want to do it because it was +[3661.12 --> 3663.72] actually tied to an email address that he +[3663.72 --> 3667.16] used so he was like yeah I'm not using +[3667.16 --> 3669.44] the YouTube channel but I'd really rather +[3669.44 --> 3672.26] keep this and I kind of went dude please +[3672.26 --> 3674.56] we've got big plans we've got stuff we +[3674.56 --> 3676.64] want to do this is important yeah and he +[3676.64 --> 3678.80] went yeah okay I wonder if every once in a +[3678.80 --> 3680.34] while he like he checks back and goes like +[3680.34 --> 3683.94] oh cool I don't know maybe heard from him at all or no not at all that's +[3683.94 --> 3687.14] interesting yeah funny hey anyways I guess we +[3687.14 --> 3689.32] can move on to like real yeah I want to +[3689.32 --> 3691.54] thank Scott for coming on the show yeah +[3691.54 --> 3694.32] great guest lots of great information I +[3694.32 --> 3695.94] know that some of it might have been a +[3695.94 --> 3699.18] little bit sort of higher level than some +[3699.18 --> 3700.50] of the stuff that we normally talk about +[3700.50 --> 3704.64] but guys Scott knows a ton and everything +[3704.64 --> 3706.86] he said there was really great information +[3706.86 --> 3711.48] he's one of the most trustworthy voices in +[3711.48 --> 3714.24] the entire tech industry he's a true +[3714.24 --> 3716.88] journalist he cares so much about the +[3716.88 --> 3719.28] truth and the real information so you +[3719.28 --> 3720.82] guys should definitely check out the tech +[3720.82 --> 3722.94] report definitely pay attention to what +[3722.94 --> 3724.86] Scott's doing especially if you were +[3724.86 --> 3727.68] captivated by his presence here on our show +[3727.68 --> 3729.72] he does have a podcast so you guys should +[3729.72 --> 3731.66] check that out as well normally I would +[3731.66 --> 3733.54] like for him to be able to outro himself +[3733.54 --> 3735.62] but unfortunately our Skype connection was +[3735.62 --> 3738.08] lost and we can't bring him back on so +[3738.08 --> 3740.98] there you go guys big thanks to Scott for +[3740.98 --> 3742.62] coming on the show today and we thought that +[3742.62 --> 3743.18] was great +[3743.18 --> 3746.42] yep that was actually absolutely fantastic +[3746.42 --> 3749.16] was the PCI Express 4.0 conversation +[3749.16 --> 3751.92] no mainstream no it wasn't on the +[3751.92 --> 3753.76] mainstream yeah that was actually like my +[3753.76 --> 3756.10] favorite part I know I wanted to just +[3756.10 --> 3758.50] knowledge bombs in the middle of no way I +[3758.50 --> 3761.02] know I wanted to bring him back I wanted +[3761.02 --> 3763.10] to come back to that while we were actually +[3763.10 --> 3765.22] live on the show so Scott was talking about +[3765.22 --> 3769.54] PCI Express 4.0 which is basically we've +[3769.54 --> 3772.82] reached the limit of of what can be achieved +[3772.82 --> 3776.40] by connecting graphics cards to other things +[3776.40 --> 3780.62] and in the system via copper and PCI Express 4.0 is +[3780.62 --> 3783.06] going to be probably server only technology at +[3783.06 --> 3785.02] least for quite some time because of how +[3785.02 --> 3787.70] expensive it's going to be to implement with +[3787.70 --> 3791.84] like repeaters and signal repeaters built into a +[3791.84 --> 3794.92] motherboard just to get the signal far enough +[3794.92 --> 3796.74] because yeah because they have to make it so +[3796.74 --> 3798.92] ridiculously tight because to get bandwidth that +[3798.92 --> 3800.74] fast over copper it has to be pretty short +[3800.74 --> 3803.18] really really cool so he was talking about how +[3803.18 --> 3805.10] they're gonna have to get into other technologies +[3805.10 --> 3807.24] outside of copper and apparently they're already +[3807.24 --> 3809.74] working on this and it's kind of maybe working +[3809.74 --> 3812.34] kind of working yeah oh man that was actually a +[3812.34 --> 3813.82] really interesting conversation that was my +[3813.82 --> 3815.74] yeah my favorite part about him having him on +[3815.74 --> 3817.40] the show was that and that's not on the main +[3817.40 --> 3820.80] show unfortunate yeah don't worry we'll uh we'll +[3820.80 --> 3823.18] we'll have him back at some point um Nexus +[3823.18 --> 3826.18] six specs have been leaked so the original article +[3826.18 --> 3828.56] here is from Android Police and this was posted on +[3828.56 --> 3831.02] the forum by Top War Gamer thank you Top War Gamer for +[3831.02 --> 3833.30] posting that let's go ahead and pop this up on the +[3833.30 --> 3837.50] screen this is the Motorola Nexus 6 a 5.9 inch +[3837.50 --> 3841.40] quad HD display with a 3200 milliamp hour plus +[3841.40 --> 3845.16] battery dual front facing speakers and more and I +[3845.16 --> 3849.92] hate it why it's a phablet oh yeah okay it's +[3849.92 --> 3856.16] almost six inches yeah I mean I understand that no I +[3856.16 --> 3858.78] don't understand this well how big is it I know it's not like +[3858.78 --> 3864.00] I okay but how big is it I understand having a phablet in your +[3864.00 --> 3869.66] product lineup yeah I get that but Google's Nexus line is the one +[3869.66 --> 3876.42] phone that pardon the pun is supposed to be one size fits all and a phablet +[3876.42 --> 3881.76] does not fit all like the D period oh no there's lots of different sizes of D's +[3881.76 --> 3889.04] that are needed I was just yeah anyway I yeah so the the note 4 is kind of a huge +[3889.04 --> 3894.00] phone and this is point two larger because the note 4 is 5.7 inches this is +[3894.00 --> 3899.58] 5.9 so this is extremely frustrating to me because I already find a 5 inch phone to +[3899.58 --> 3904.02] be pretty much the limit for okay and I always used to play devil's advocate and +[3904.02 --> 3907.98] say that I liked bigger phones like bigger hands or whatever but I actually +[3907.98 --> 3912.66] really like this phone you've been using the Moto X and whenever I use bigger +[3912.66 --> 3916.20] phones now I'm like you know what I can reach the other corner I don't want to +[3916.20 --> 3920.34] have to reach for the other corner it's easier when I can just click on it and I +[3920.34 --> 3923.82] know some people are gonna like destroy me for that but like it doesn't it +[3923.82 --> 3927.66] doesn't matter I use my phone more for like production style stuff so I'm like +[3927.66 --> 3933.26] like emails less content consumption stuff yeah I'm not watching videos on it +[3933.26 --> 3937.52] really I'll listen to music doesn't matter having a huge screen for music +[3937.52 --> 3942.26] because it just sits in my pocket so like I listen to music I read emails I +[3942.26 --> 3948.14] read documents I type things up I reply to emails text messages phone calls that +[3948.14 --> 3950.84] kind of stuff so I don't actually necessarily care about a huge screen +[3950.84 --> 3954.74] anymore I used to because I used to game my phone a little bit right but I'm +[3954.74 --> 3960.00] seeing so over gaming on my phone yeah and like especially with smash bros which is +[3960.00 --> 3963.14] awesome I can actually talk about it now because it released this morning oh +[3963.14 --> 3968.24] yeah we've been playing it for how long like two weeks so good the only +[3968.24 --> 3971.66] unfortunate part was now that I actually had to go get my own copy because they +[3971.66 --> 3975.80] get the review copy back it's all saved on the card oh so I lost all my +[3975.80 --> 3983.54] progress go Nintendo but the +[3983.54 --> 3989.12] stop that was a weird noise the Hyrule Warriors one it saves locally to your Wii U +[3989.12 --> 3993.04] oh I had to get another copy of that but then I still have my save nice so I went +[3993.04 --> 3997.02] further in that game and smash is more about just fighting so it's not that big +[3997.02 --> 4001.50] of a deal but yeah tons of fun and I would way rather play that than something on my +[4001.50 --> 4006.10] phone right so I just hold my 2ds with me and then everyone knows what a shield +[4006.10 --> 4010.98] lover I am yeah so then you have the shield and like if if I didn't have a 2ds I +[4010.98 --> 4014.14] would go with the shield I would not get with a phone with shield at 200 bucks +[4014.14 --> 4021.12] that's a no-brainer for me yeah for a proper controller um yeah I don't know I +[4021.12 --> 4024.98] mean I'm not really into phone gaming so I don't see the point I don't know I was +[4024.98 --> 4029.12] happy when I first saw this before I saw the size because I was looking at stuff +[4029.12 --> 4032.76] like oh okay so they brought forward-facing speakers that's cool they +[4032.76 --> 4035.76] fixed the battery problem that's cool and then they have a lot of the other +[4035.76 --> 4040.48] features that that the other Moto X would have yeah which is that's also cool yeah it's +[4040.48 --> 4044.44] very similar to the new Moto X so it's got the same aluminum frame around the +[4044.44 --> 4049.22] outside looks very similar other than being larger but ring flash a lot of the +[4049.22 --> 4052.42] a lot of the innovations here aren't really that meaningful to me especially +[4052.42 --> 4058.72] things like a quad HD display I reviewed the G3 there's a lot more to a display +[4058.72 --> 4064.42] than resolution so much more there's a whole world of contrast and color +[4064.42 --> 4068.50] reproduction out there that has nothing to do with how many pixels you can cram +[4068.50 --> 4071.80] into a space and that's one thing I brought up in my note 4 video from CTIA +[4071.80 --> 4075.70] was that they had an extremely high resolution display on the note 4 but +[4075.70 --> 4080.80] they didn't sacrifice what it looked like right so the the color still looks +[4080.80 --> 4085.84] really good which was not a thing on the G3 well that and because Samsung's +[4085.84 --> 4091.06] gonna be using AMOLED they're not gonna lose contrast the way that the way that a +[4091.06 --> 4097.54] typical LCD will like the the HTC 1 M8 is an LCD screen but it's got great +[4097.54 --> 4101.74] contrast which makes it easier to use outside than the G3 in spite of all the +[4101.74 --> 4106.00] pixels because its contrast ratio so the difference between the darkest darks and +[4106.00 --> 4110.92] the whitest whites is not as high whereas AMOLED is able to turn the pixels +[4110.92 --> 4116.32] right off when they're not being used so you'll typically have excellent contrast so +[4116.32 --> 4119.46] that's why something like that is gonna work a little bit better and while you +[4119.46 --> 4122.64] might not necessarily care about the high resolution on a note 4 because you're +[4122.64 --> 4125.28] probably not gonna be able to know the difference if you get something like a +[4125.28 --> 4128.46] gear VR you'll be able to tell the difference when it's right there in front +[4128.46 --> 4133.14] of your face I'm kind of curious to try gear VR it's surprisingly good but there +[4133.14 --> 4136.38] is also drawbacks have we talked about it on the show before yeah we have yeah okay so +[4136.38 --> 4139.92] I'm not gonna dive into it much but I think it's gonna be retail available in not +[4139.92 --> 4143.10] way too long so we might be able to try one out if we get a note 4 it's one phone +[4143.10 --> 4146.76] compatible right now right they're hoping to open it up at some point but as of +[4146.76 --> 4149.94] right now it's one phone compatible right all right so let's move into our +[4149.94 --> 4153.78] sponsor spots here really quickly Squarespace is our first sponsor today +[4153.78 --> 4159.18] guys

4277.32] have Taryn it doesn't have new Nick we have another Nick we should just put him +[4277.32 --> 4281.00] under here as new Nick new Nick +[4281.00 --> 4287.88] um all right so guys

the show today +[4293.32 --> 4299.80] dollarshaveclub.com why do we like dollarshaveclub well because shaving is good he doesn't necessarily +[4299.80 --> 4305.32] shave his face but man that doesn't mean he doesn't use razors I do yeah there you go yeah I definitely +[4305.32 --> 4309.16] there's lots of things you can need to shave with dollar shave club and our new I didn't even get +[4309.16 --> 4316.12] that right away that's pathetic and our new sort of innovative thing that dollar shave club never told +[4316.12 --> 4322.84] us to say is even though they market to men pretty much exclusively like you look at their silly humor +[4322.84 --> 4328.28] in their advertisements and you look at the kinds of podcasts that they're sponsoring they they look +[4328.28 --> 4334.52] to be going after men is there any reason why ladies might not want a high quality razor delivered +[4334.52 --> 4340.52] straight to their door once a month so we actually had a a viewer chime in after that stream when we +[4340.52 --> 4345.24] brought up the lady thing yeah bring up that his girlfriend prefers his dollar shave club razors +[4345.24 --> 4351.00] and now he uses them as well so we weren't even that far off base looking for a gift idea for the lady +[4351.00 --> 4358.28] and looking for a way to not so subtly hint that she might need to do some trimming dollarshaveclub.com slash +[4358.28 --> 4364.12] linus head over there and uh give the gift of getting yourself slapped in the face but then +[4364.12 --> 4369.96] potentially it turning into something worthwhile later on down the road yes wow wow yeah I went there +[4370.76 --> 4378.36] all right so this is really cool news most project aura modules will be hot swappable thanks to modified +[4378.36 --> 4386.12] android l this was posted on techno buffalo we should have john back his baby must be quite a bit older now +[4386.12 --> 4391.00] yeah yeah john john rettinger from techno buffalo he was one of the best guests we've ever had we gotta +[4391.00 --> 4396.36] we gotta bring him back maybe when uh maybe when nexus 6 drops or something like that we'll bring him on to +[4396.36 --> 4401.32] talk about it yeah I haven't checked with him so obviously no promises but he did say he'd come on the +[4401.32 --> 4408.28] show again at some point but the coolest thing about this besides being able to swap you know cameras +[4408.28 --> 4417.00] let's say for example you can swap the battery while it's running whoa it's like what what are they +[4417.00 --> 4422.76] tesla okay you can't do it while it's running but you can do it very quickly on a tesla yes faster than +[4422.76 --> 4428.20] you can fill up your car with gas but how cool is that okay it's actually pretty awesome so project +[4428.20 --> 4435.24] aura i've gone from being extremely skeptical to being extremely hopeful to being extremely not interested +[4435.24 --> 4441.32] because i was sure it was going to be very very low end stuff to being pretty interested again all +[4441.32 --> 4447.56] of a sudden it's got it's got a little bit of onboard uh it's got a little bit of onboard power +[4447.56 --> 4455.16] so you will actually be able to potentially mid-call swap battery packs for true continuous use and like +[4455.16 --> 4460.36] i've had people that i work with in the past carry around multiple batteries with them with their phone +[4460.36 --> 4464.44] they never actually plugged it this way this was one specific guy that i worked with he would always have +[4464.44 --> 4468.92] two spare batteries with him at all points in time and the battery in his phone and he would never +[4468.92 --> 4473.16] plug in his phone to charge if it was getting low he'd turn it off swap the battery out turn it back +[4473.16 --> 4477.96] on and keep going just like that hey and he would just always charge his batteries so this phone will +[4477.96 --> 4483.08] be perfect for him i know he won't get it because he works for his very specific company but this phone +[4483.08 --> 4489.16] would have been perfect for him and i do know people that would like doing that as well because like when +[4489.16 --> 4494.20] when uh there's there's that what is it commercial yeah there's a commercial going on right now where the +[4494.20 --> 4498.68] the guy his boss calls him and he's on a golf course and his boss is yelling at him for +[4498.68 --> 4501.72] something and the phone only has four percent battery left and it just dies during the call +[4501.72 --> 4507.32] and he's like now i don't have a job anymore they had one of these yeah i'm sure that's going to be +[4507.32 --> 4513.80] the the ad for it no no there is an ad right now oh where the guy loses his job while he's on a golf +[4513.80 --> 4517.64] course because his phone dies no i just mean i'm sure that's going to be the ad for project r i'm sure +[4517.64 --> 4523.32] that's going to be like exactly what they're going for i i think it's probably going to be +[4523.32 --> 4529.72] it's going to be more about the google play type store that they currently envision for parts where +[4529.72 --> 4537.40] you'll be able to shop lenses or shop processors or whatever else and just quickly and easily order +[4537.40 --> 4542.68] new swappable parts for your project r phone i think it's incredibly cool and i'm now getting pretty +[4542.68 --> 4547.32] excited that would be cool because one thing i'm worried about is taking my moto x with me to germany +[4548.44 --> 4558.04] sorry um and not being it's not your mom is it no no employees oh okay bye thank you bye um +[4558.04 --> 4564.92] is my pictures are going to suck right freaking camera's terrible right like it's it's not good +[4565.56 --> 4569.24] it's specifically not good right and like i don't have it here you can borrow mine +[4570.60 --> 4573.80] are you going to be using this i don't know if you look at the lens you might know why i was going +[4573.80 --> 4577.40] to lend it to you oh yeah that's not good yeah i cracked the lens on my 1ma +[4577.64 --> 4582.76] i contacted htc support so maybe i'll maybe i'll tweet my results but i'm contacting them just as +[4582.76 --> 4588.52] a regular guy through the regular support channels and i'm going to see how they treat me um so far +[4588.52 --> 4594.68] i'm a warning though i had i had one lady tell me that for sure it was going to be covered and then +[4594.68 --> 4599.00] she wanted me to check with my carrier to see if they would deal with the rma for me first before +[4599.00 --> 4602.36] calling them back and they'd escalate me and i kind of went well i didn't get the phone through my +[4602.36 --> 4606.68] carrier so probably not my carrier wasn't interested so i called back and the second lady +[4606.68 --> 4611.24] said we can't guarantee that it's going to be covered and you're going to have to pay to send +[4611.24 --> 4615.08] the phone and i'm okay with paying to send the phone to their rma center that's pretty standard in +[4615.08 --> 4621.64] the tech industry um but if they don't cover this cracked lens i'm going to be pretty not impressed +[4621.64 --> 4627.00] because the only way that that lens could be cracked is if there's something bloody well wrong with it +[4627.00 --> 4633.48] because the rest of it all around it absolutely perfect immaculate and this lens is fine it's a +[4633.48 --> 4639.40] bit of a known issue that that main camera lens cover is uh is not that great there are things you +[4639.40 --> 4645.00] can do if you use a very mild abrasive like toothpaste you can get the coating off of it that has been +[4645.00 --> 4651.16] causing it to appear kind of scratchy and then it's fine and uh but but with it cracked obviously +[4651.16 --> 4656.84] that ain't gonna help me much so let's see i it's kind of fun being a normal customer every once +[4656.84 --> 4662.20] in a while for me and just seeing how people treat me um but yeah i was even thinking about +[4662.20 --> 4667.48] possibly maybe getting that camera that austin will never stop talking about really anyone but +[4667.48 --> 4672.76] i'm not going to because i don't want to spend that much money how much is it 800 bucks oh wow yeah +[4672.76 --> 4677.24] you don't seem like the kind of person who i don't think you've spent 800 on anything since i met you +[4677.24 --> 4686.44] other than your car no definitely not um yeah so i don't know +[4686.44 --> 4688.44] he wants new computer hardware he just steals it +[4691.24 --> 4696.20] people ask me if i get stuff from work and i'm like no i take stuff from work +[4702.60 --> 4710.60] anyways um yes yeah oh well all right uh facebook is doing an about face +[4710.60 --> 4719.32] on their real name policy so the this was posted my by mega zero on the forum and the original source +[4719.32 --> 4726.04] is the wall street journal okay so let's go ahead and pop that on there there we go hopefully that'll +[4726.04 --> 4731.88] load at some point which like okay i i find this slightly hilarious because while i feel bad for the +[4731.88 --> 4739.16] people that had their names forcibly revealed i may or may not and people that i know may or may not +[4739.16 --> 4746.36] have facebook accounts under their gamer tags that have existed for a very long time that have never +[4746.36 --> 4754.92] been changed which last names with like first and last names that are definitely not real right but like +[4754.92 --> 4762.52] not even real names well the issue here was that it seemed to be a um a person or group of people +[4762.52 --> 4769.72] targeting drag queens and drag kings and reporting them okay so facebook because the tools are mostly +[4769.72 --> 4775.96] automated just kind of went through and and forced all these people to submit library cards or gym +[4775.96 --> 4782.36] memberships or whatever else to to validate their names and of course they couldn't because they go by +[4782.36 --> 4789.00] let's say for example a stage name yeah that is not their real name legally and and so basically it +[4789.00 --> 4796.04] was a targeted attack on these people forcing them to reveal their legal names and um that is why facebook +[4796.04 --> 4800.44] is kind of going well hold on a second that's not really what we meant to do here and they're +[4800.44 --> 4806.68] re-evaluating the policy saying well hold on a second what we were really trying to achieve is to have +[4806.68 --> 4812.28] people use a name that they use in real life not necessarily that we wanted everyone +[4812.28 --> 4817.32] to force forcibly reveal their legal name because honestly they want they want a name that they +[4817.32 --> 4822.20] can target advertisements at yes that's what they want yeah that's all they care about yeah so they +[4822.20 --> 4826.04] don't care about getting your real like government issued name but they want the name that you're using +[4826.04 --> 4829.96] online so they can target ads to you that's right so they're not really trying to be oppressive in +[4829.96 --> 4836.12] that way they just want to be able to it just happened yeah because automated tools yeah yeah +[4836.12 --> 4842.76] reasons why people are scared about automated driving speaking of automated and facebook and +[4842.76 --> 4848.04] scary uh facebook's developing giant unmanned planes that are designed to fly for months at a time this +[4848.04 --> 4854.04] was posted by ethno on the forum thank you for that and the original article here is from the bbc +[4854.04 --> 4859.56] so they're planning to have them fly above the weather which i believe is yeah 60 000 to 90 000 feet +[4859.56 --> 4865.24] which is huge it's supposed to be about six or seven priuses in length i love how they're using +[4865.24 --> 4871.56] this as a unit of measurement six or seven priuses in length which i believe is about two linuses so +[4871.56 --> 4878.84] we're looking at about 12 to 14 12 to 14 linuses and then and then we're like about or about two school +[4878.84 --> 4889.40] buses yeah there you go and uh where is it about the weight of four tires of a prius so weighs basically +[4889.40 --> 4895.08] nothing wow that's incredible i think that's why like they're supposed to be solar powered for one +[4895.08 --> 4900.36] which is insane that's that's incredible that's that is kind of incredible so i'm assuming if +[4900.36 --> 4905.16] they're solar powered they're gonna have to be some type of uh propeller base because you're gonna have +[4905.16 --> 4911.80] to move something instead of having a jet so that's interesting not entirely sure how they're gonna do that +[4911.80 --> 4915.40] i don't think there's a ton of information about that yet not yet but it could be interesting they're +[4915.40 --> 4919.24] planning on getting wi-fi to a whole bunch of different places in the world with the intent of +[4919.24 --> 4925.08] totally not just advertising to even more people but getting more people online to help with uh just +[4925.08 --> 4929.64] spread of information so you can get people out of poverty and help with child mortality and stuff +[4929.64 --> 4936.44] like that yeah all all the stuff oh no all a lot of the stuff that's going to be achieved thanks to +[4936.44 --> 4941.64] this initiative is going to be extremely positive oh yeah definitely not i was just kind of poking but +[4941.64 --> 4947.24] i mean i think you know if we look at why facebook invests in anything are they ultimately after +[4948.04 --> 4952.92] themselves and their own interests of course yes they're a company they're going to do that +[4952.92 --> 4957.56] publicly traded company load no less they have to justify everything they do to shareholders +[4957.56 --> 4961.48] yep so wait till the shareholders meeting and then you'll figure out why they're actually doing it +[4961.48 --> 4966.44] yeah exactly but it will be overwhelmingly positive for a lot of people unless the internet access is +[4966.44 --> 4971.96] only to facebook but i doubt that'll be a thing all right dayo 28 posted this on the forum and kano +[4971.96 --> 4979.80] has evidently shipped their build learn to code computer kits to the first batch of backers we +[4979.80 --> 4985.48] actually got one yeah so we did back it and um i'm actually gonna have luke probably do the review +[4985.48 --> 4990.28] on this when he gets back but do you want to tell people a little bit about the kano either way before +[4990.28 --> 4996.36] i get people into it i'm gonna have you as part of the video because part of the idea is that it's supposed +[4996.36 --> 5002.52] to take uh hacking around with code and learning uh computational thinking child's play not that's +[5002.52 --> 5006.76] that's just kind of so i'm a child words no it's supposed to make it easier and it's supposed to +[5006.76 --> 5010.84] make it easier to understand and just having instead of just having it be raw code all over the place +[5010.84 --> 5017.00] yeah there'll be examples and it'll build you up you'll learn as you as you play with it and i want +[5017.00 --> 5023.88] you to try it as someone who hasn't programmed just to see how the how the like barrier of entry is so +[5023.88 --> 5028.12] we'll get both perspectives yeah because the barrier of entry to coding can be brutal for a +[5028.12 --> 5032.68] lot of people and then once you start rolling it's a lot easier but the barrier of entry sucks and a big +[5032.68 --> 5037.96] part of this project is to lower or lessen that barrier of entry so it should be pretty interesting +[5037.96 --> 5043.80] but it's essentially a little raspberry pi single board linux-based computer that has some of their +[5043.80 --> 5048.44] software on it which helps teach you how to code it's not the most super complicated thing but it is a +[5048.44 --> 5053.72] very cheap way to get into programming and it can essentially build you up a whole computer you just +[5053.72 --> 5058.60] have to add like a screen stuff yep they're going to get into modular components at some point in +[5058.60 --> 5062.76] the future here screens battery sensors lights robotics and all kinds of stuff like that so +[5063.56 --> 5068.84] the future looks pretty bright for these guys they actually just brought in uh the former ceo of match +[5068.84 --> 5072.92] dot com as their chief operating officer yeah i think right now it comes with a keyboard right +[5072.92 --> 5076.92] keyboard a little touchpad on it i think so all you need to do is hook it up to a screen so if you +[5076.92 --> 5082.36] walk around with this thing you could have the the power brick and the little keyboard and the mini raspberry +[5082.36 --> 5085.40] power unit you just have to hook it up to a screen you're good to go anywhere which is actually +[5085.40 --> 5093.48] pretty cool all right so i think we've got uh probably a couple more a couple more topics here +[5093.48 --> 5099.40] and then we might just have to wrap things up sure what do you think is next ea finally fixed battlefield +[5099.40 --> 5105.24] four and apparently they're releasing some stuff to sims like pools which probably should have been +[5105.24 --> 5108.76] there in the in the beginning but they're not charging people for it which a lot of people were +[5108.76 --> 5114.92] expecting so you're getting uh swimming pools ghosts and star wars themed content along with +[5114.92 --> 5121.00] some new careers paths and all that should be free cool which i don't necessarily care about but we did +[5121.00 --> 5125.80] hammer them for that so we should have that positive so we should we should be nice when they +[5125.80 --> 5130.92] do good things we should all righty yay we'll be nice but ubisoft we're still mad at you +[5130.92 --> 5139.00] yeah you didn't make shadows of mordor yeah i'm really excited to play it the i've seen some +[5139.00 --> 5143.96] complaints about the combat still being kind of simplistic but i wanted i want to really play +[5143.96 --> 5148.68] it for myself before i before i judge it here uh there's a good post on the forum comparing it to +[5148.68 --> 5155.40] the batman series um especially the combat saying it's just not as deep and it's very frustrating to +[5155.40 --> 5162.36] play without uh telegraph attack indicators yeah because the the telegraphs are not as clear and it +[5162.36 --> 5167.96] ends up a lot of the time just being a cluster hump of of bad dudes around you and it's kind of hard to +[5167.96 --> 5175.16] manage and then playing with telegraphs on pretty easy so yeah that makes sense i i you played the +[5175.16 --> 5180.44] batman batman series a lot more thoroughly than i did so you'll probably have more input on that side +[5180.44 --> 5186.52] yeah i barely touched the batman series so i won't really even know um i know when i play i'm +[5186.52 --> 5192.36] gonna try and play with a little telegraph things but i'm probably gonna get murdered but i don't +[5192.36 --> 5197.56] necessarily mind dying in games right as long as it's possible for me to keep progressing yeah i'm okay +[5197.56 --> 5203.64] as long as it's fair yeah yeah make it fair i mean not like warcraft 2 where you would play a 1v1 +[5203.64 --> 5209.56] against a computer on an eight player map and then if you watch the replay or just turn off fog of war +[5209.56 --> 5215.72] with a cheat you could watch their first soldier or grunt walk straight to your base it's like +[5216.60 --> 5223.32] come on at least search like at least try to search at least pretend to like hard code it in so they +[5223.32 --> 5228.68] look in one place that you're not before so so you always knew you had to build one guard tower +[5229.16 --> 5233.88] before anything else so that you could deal with that stupid first and second attack +[5233.88 --> 5239.88] kind of brutal yeah so i don't know i'll probably try it the hard way just because it sounds kind of +[5239.88 --> 5244.60] fun and the combat does seem pretty simplistic so far and removing that will make the combat not +[5244.60 --> 5249.32] simplistic at all so i don't know we'll see all right well i think that's pretty much it for the +[5249.32 --> 5255.72] show here today guys um thank you for watching again big thanks to scott for being our guest big +[5255.72 --> 5262.04] thanks to squarespace for being our sponsor and dollar shave club for being our other sponsor and uh we'll see +[5262.04 --> 5268.04] you guys again next week um don't worry we know what's causing the conduct connectivity problems +[5268.04 --> 5274.28] and we will get that resolved before the show next week so stay tuned for that thanks for watching and +[5274.28 --> 5279.40] if you missed any of the show today the whole thing uninterrupted will be up in the archive on youtube +[5284.92 --> 5286.68] oh whoops dang it +[5292.04

Paul and Kyle have both left Newegg and we're gonna +[34.68 --> 37.80] have them on the show to talk a little bit about what's going on. Maybe we'll do +[37.80 --> 44.10] some Twitter blitzing and Intel spent a metric bucket ton of money on their new +[44.10 --> 51.34] 10 nanometer process manufacturing facility in Israel or will rather.

There's a rumor that is on WCCF Tech, although don't freak out, it's +[121.74 --> 129.72] actually originally posted by PC Tuning, that NVIDIA's Maxwell GM200 GPU could be coming as soon +[129.72 --> 138.62] as Q4 of this year. So, it's rumored to have a die size of 551mm2, making it the big core in the +[138.62 --> 146.72] Maxwell family, with over 2,500 coup de corps, so anywhere from 2,560 to 2,816, and... +[146.72 --> 155.24] So, we decided to troll you a little bit. If you notice, your shirt is slightly different than my +[155.24 --> 162.02] shirt. My shirt's better. My shirt has three people, and so do all of theirs. Hello. So, there's a whole +[162.02 --> 167.12] bunch of shirts that have three people, and if you pay a lot of attention... Whoa! +[167.12 --> 172.22] ...Fractal Design logo on the back. And if you pay a lot of attention to what's on the shirt, +[172.22 --> 176.96] there's Fractal Josh in the middle, because he's super tall. Yeah. And he's bro- like, +[176.96 --> 182.92] brofisting me. Yeah. And then throwing a pie in your face. Yeah, that's a pretty lame shirt. +[182.92 --> 194.12] Well, I told him I wouldn't tell you, but Brandon might have leaked the seatbelt. What?! You're so lame! +[194.12 --> 201.02] It was a complete accident! Oh my god! So... How did you do that? I unzipped my hoodie, and then he saw it. I was like... +[201.02 --> 206.12] He's like, well, actually, initially, he's like, oh, nice shirt! So... And then I turned around, I'm thinking that he didn't realize... +[206.12 --> 213.12] Are you putting a tape over mine? So, I have prepared in advance my rebuttal... +[213.12 --> 215.12] Oh! Ha ha ha ha! +[215.12 --> 217.12] ...which is that you are fired. +[217.12 --> 219.12] Ha ha ha! +[219.12 --> 224.12] You are no longer allowed to be on... My, like, arm and legs are still there.

+[341.12 --> 342.12] Maybe, uh, maybe I'm wrong. +[342.12 --> 343.12] Maybe it'll be Titan 2. +[343.12 --> 344.12] Or something like that. +[344.12 --> 345.12] Yeah. +[345.12 --> 346.12] Could be possible. +[346.12 --> 349.12] Alright, moving on to our next, also NVIDIA-related news. +[349.12 --> 350.12] Kingpin... +[350.12 --> 351.12] Oh, sorry. +[351.12 --> 354.12] That first one was originally posted on the forum by Big Stroons. +[354.12 --> 355.12] Big Stroons. +[355.12 --> 356.12] Thank you for that. +[356.12 --> 358.12] I don't know if it's Stroons, or like Stro... +[358.12 --> 359.12] OOo-NZZ. +[359.12 --> 361.12] No one's really sure. +[361.12 --> 363.12] That's the thing about online handles is... +[363.12 --> 366.12] Like, are capitals emphasis, or...? +[366.12 --> 370.12] How can you ever really get a handle on something that's just digital data? +[373.12 --> 378.12] Well, could grabbing a hard drive be getting a handle on digital data? +[378.12 --> 381.12] Or an SSD. +[381.12 --> 384.12] Because you're technically holding it. +[384.12 --> 388.42] I think this might be the longest silence we've ever had on the WAN show. +[389.46 --> 391.62] I basically talk constantly, don't I? +[391.72 --> 392.34] Didn't we have it? +[392.42 --> 395.52] No, because I think we had like a one minute silence for something. +[395.80 --> 396.16] Did we? +[396.36 --> 397.70] I think there was, yeah. +[397.76 --> 402.38] Whatever it was, it was probably something inappropriate and not something that actually deserved a one minute silence. +[402.60 --> 403.00] 100%. +[403.00 --> 404.06] I think so. +[404.22 --> 406.30] I don't remember what it was, but it didn't make a ton of sense. +[406.30 --> 408.32] But we had a minute silence for it. +[408.48 --> 409.66] Seems like the kind of thing I would do. +[409.66 --> 416.80] All right, so Mech777 posted on the forum that, quote unquote, Maxwell is an overclocking monster. +[417.00 --> 420.84] Kingpin and Tin have cracked 2 gigahertz plus. +[420.98 --> 421.84] This was on LN2. +[422.56 --> 422.94] Yeah. +[423.40 --> 428.84] I mean, to be clear, you won't be cracking 2 gigahertz plus unless you cool with liquid nitrogen. +[429.38 --> 431.16] But got any more details while I... +[431.16 --> 435.56] They're running their core at 2103 megahertz and their memory at 1753. +[436.02 --> 438.54] So all of that is just generally insane. +[438.54 --> 441.88] Again, though, LN2, liquid nitrogen. +[442.28 --> 445.84] They got a Firestrike score of 1940. +[446.54 --> 447.74] And they got a Firestrike... +[447.74 --> 449.14] 19,040. +[449.30 --> 449.96] Yeah, my bad. +[450.08 --> 453.04] And they got a Firestrike extreme score of 9191. +[454.06 --> 455.24] Absolutely ridiculous. +[456.32 --> 459.32] Apparently, the overclock was attributed to low power consumption. +[460.00 --> 460.80] Yeah, low power consumption. +[460.94 --> 463.84] I mean, also any of the other optimizations that NVIDIA has made in Maxwell. +[463.84 --> 471.52] There's a lot of stuff that's still under the hood with Maxwell that I think they're either waiting for the bigger core to reveal. +[471.86 --> 473.36] I mean, that's what they do. +[473.44 --> 476.70] They tend to kind of pace the releases of their news. +[477.18 --> 477.84] Speaking of... +[477.84 --> 478.94] That's why competition's good. +[478.94 --> 484.18] Because if there isn't a ton of competition, that pace can go at whatever speed they want. +[484.40 --> 489.06] And if they're like, well, if we develop slower, then we don't have to spend as much on R&D. +[489.22 --> 490.30] And they just slow the pace down. +[490.78 --> 492.30] Well, I don't think they're doing that. +[492.46 --> 492.78] Me neither. +[492.94 --> 495.22] I'm saying just in general, that's why competition's good. +[495.22 --> 500.80] I think it's just the way that the R&D is being directed these days. +[501.66 --> 507.62] Where they still have to continue to develop and stay competitive in HPC, for example. +[507.76 --> 511.76] So they still want to pump better GPU cores as fast as possible. +[512.00 --> 514.58] We just might end up with ones that are more compute optimized. +[515.14 --> 517.16] And this has been happening over the last few years. +[517.34 --> 520.22] That also happened to be fantastic for gaming as well. +[520.46 --> 520.54] Yeah. +[520.54 --> 521.58] But... +[521.58 --> 521.90] Okay. +[522.08 --> 524.20] Now, that's a lot of good NVIDIA news. +[524.34 --> 527.64] But I have some very unfortunate NVIDIA news as well. +[527.74 --> 529.48] This is something that's not actually on the dock. +[529.74 --> 531.68] And I noticed... +[531.68 --> 533.74] And I had someone assure me that it wasn't a big deal. +[533.84 --> 535.12] But I was pretty sure it was a big deal. +[535.22 --> 541.38] I noticed at their editor's day that the PCs were running with Shield controllers plugged into them. +[541.76 --> 542.42] And I was like, oh yeah. +[542.46 --> 543.98] I thought that wasn't PC compatible. +[544.24 --> 544.98] At least not yet. +[545.06 --> 547.92] And so it has been confirmed by NVIDIA that it wasn't. +[547.92 --> 554.02] And the version of GeForce Experience and the latest driver that came out with GTX 780... +[554.02 --> 555.08] 980, rather. +[555.52 --> 558.76] Now supports Shield as a controller on your PC. +[559.06 --> 559.34] Which is... +[559.34 --> 560.34] Or Shield controller. +[560.76 --> 561.28] Not Shield. +[561.60 --> 561.82] So your Shield controller. +[561.82 --> 565.84] It's really scary when someone says that there's bad news and then proceeds to only give you good news. +[566.22 --> 566.48] Oh yeah. +[566.54 --> 567.34] The bad news is coming. +[567.74 --> 569.80] So the unfortunate thing... +[569.80 --> 571.68] And this is only moderately bad news... +[571.68 --> 574.62] Is that it doesn't work wirelessly on your computer. +[574.62 --> 580.54] And that makes sense because it's Wi-Fi Direct and to my knowledge, nothing Wi-Fi Direct connects directly to your computer yet. +[580.58 --> 581.22] That's as far as I know. +[581.86 --> 584.62] The much worse news is... +[585.18 --> 585.96] Where is it? +[586.84 --> 587.28] Compatibility. +[588.18 --> 588.64] Okay. +[588.76 --> 590.12] Android devices, etc. +[590.88 --> 591.28] Okay. +[591.74 --> 594.10] It only works on their own Android devices, which I kind of get. +[594.34 --> 595.90] Again, Wi-Fi Direct, whatever. +[596.34 --> 597.28] Games controllers. +[597.28 --> 601.42] Can I use the Shield wireless controller with a PC? +[602.48 --> 602.76] Yes. +[602.98 --> 611.38] The Shield wireless controller is compatible as a wired controller with Windows 7 or Windows 8 running GeForce Experience. +[613.46 --> 614.02] Wow. +[614.92 --> 622.70] So just for giggles, I tried to install GeForce Experience on a computer that wasn't running a GeForce graphics card. +[623.12 --> 625.40] It goes no supported hardware and boots you out. +[625.40 --> 633.04] So the only way to install the driver for NVIDIA's game controller is to have an NVIDIA graphics card in your system. +[633.22 --> 635.20] This is extremely offensive to me. +[635.22 --> 636.80] And I think if you install... +[636.80 --> 640.64] Just judging from graphics card overclocking and testing... +[640.64 --> 645.02] If you install GeForce Experience with an NVIDIA card plugged in and then swap, it just won't run. +[645.26 --> 645.60] That's right. +[645.98 --> 646.14] Yeah. +[646.14 --> 648.92] So this is incredibly disappointing to me. +[648.96 --> 655.56] I don't understand why NVIDIA wouldn't want anyone to enjoy the experience of using their controller. +[656.06 --> 658.78] I reached out to them for comment two days ago. +[658.90 --> 662.34] I gave them two days to reply to my message about this. +[662.82 --> 664.42] And I was like, what's going on? +[664.48 --> 664.56] Yeah. +[664.60 --> 666.48] I was going to say, they might have just overlooked it. +[666.56 --> 668.68] They might have just bundled it into the GeForce Experience driver. +[668.68 --> 672.96] So we will update you guys next week on WAN Show if we hear back anything else. +[673.04 --> 675.20] Or I'll try to tweet it out when I hear back about it. +[675.28 --> 678.66] But for now, you can't just install a driver. +[678.80 --> 682.16] And to my knowledge, there's nothing about the controller that would make it not work. +[682.24 --> 685.06] Like maybe the touchpad might not work or something. +[685.42 --> 688.76] If you didn't have GeForce Experience, it should just work as a standard controller. +[688.78 --> 690.68] Why would GeForce Experience affect the touchpad? +[690.84 --> 691.94] Well, I don't know. +[692.18 --> 694.88] Like it might be some kind of emulated mouse something. +[695.06 --> 696.46] But then that should be able to just be in a driver. +[696.46 --> 698.16] You would think that. +[698.34 --> 701.50] But I can see why that might take longer to implement, for example. +[701.80 --> 705.76] Because the rest of the way the controller works is exactly like a standard Xbox controller. +[705.86 --> 709.90] Yeah, I just don't see what GeForce Experience does that would have anything to affect the touchpad. +[710.04 --> 714.42] So it would be implementing the driver through GeForce Experience or implementing the driver through standalone. +[714.64 --> 715.34] Or not. +[715.48 --> 720.54] Because they do some funny stuff with things like mouse control over shield and stuff like that. +[720.60 --> 722.62] It depends how it was implemented. +[723.08 --> 723.92] So I don't know. +[724.44 --> 725.46] I'm just saying I don't know. +[725.46 --> 727.98] I'm not saying that definitely it wouldn't work. +[728.14 --> 728.50] Whatever. +[728.76 --> 731.78] The point is that it should at least work as a controller. +[732.84 --> 733.50] That's it. +[733.88 --> 738.10] And the fact that they are not allowing it to do that is just super crappy. +[738.58 --> 740.70] I mean, imagine this for a second. +[741.06 --> 746.26] Let's say someone who wants to use, oh, I don't know, Steam in Home Streaming on an Ultrabook. +[746.26 --> 751.98] And happens to have a GeForce powered gaming machine elsewhere in their house. +[751.98 --> 753.12] And thinks, oh, great. +[753.16 --> 754.06] I'll just use my controller. +[754.18 --> 755.88] I'll plug it into my notebook. +[755.88 --> 759.56] And then I'll stream to myself from my freaking GeForce PC. +[759.88 --> 761.02] That will not work. +[761.34 --> 763.36] And that is a huge oversight from NVIDIA. +[763.44 --> 764.62] I'm extremely upset about it. +[764.98 --> 768.64] I just think this is locking things away for the sake of locking them away. +[768.64 --> 773.18] As opposed to for the sake of maintaining the end user's experience. +[773.18 --> 776.94] Which is what I do believe they do do a lot of the time. +[777.38 --> 786.02] Unfortunately, this is evidence that not everything that they do is necessarily for the sake of making sure the end user has a good experience. +[786.02 --> 787.56] Because this is not a good experience. +[788.20 --> 789.32] And there's no reason for it. +[789.32 --> 791.64] Again, they could have possibly just... +[791.64 --> 792.78] There could possibly be a reason. +[792.98 --> 794.28] We will update you if there's a reason. +[794.44 --> 795.38] I haven't heard back yet. +[795.94 --> 797.60] I more thought of it as an oversight. +[798.88 --> 799.96] But we will see. +[800.50 --> 801.74] So there you go. +[803.70 --> 804.10] Okay. +[804.42 --> 806.44] We said we would pull them in at around five. +[806.56 --> 806.90] Did we? +[806.90 --> 807.44] All right. +[807.60 --> 809.46] So let's bring in our guests, shall we? +[809.86 --> 812.18] We have Paul, formerly of Newegg TV. +[812.50 --> 814.68] And Kyle, formerly of Newegg TV. +[814.68 --> 819.34] Now of Paul's Hardware and Awesome Sauce News. +[819.90 --> 821.16] Boy, are they ever ugly. +[821.74 --> 822.14] Hey. +[822.52 --> 823.82] I think they're extremely aggressive. +[823.94 --> 825.94] That's Awesome Sauce Network for you, sir. +[826.22 --> 826.50] Awesome. +[826.84 --> 828.60] So what, you do more than news now? +[828.70 --> 829.32] Is that your thing? +[829.66 --> 830.38] Yes, exactly. +[830.50 --> 833.50] It's a bit more all-encompassing than the news tagline. +[833.76 --> 835.08] All-encompassing, you say. +[835.14 --> 836.10] What do you encompass? +[836.10 --> 837.04] By the way, okay. +[837.16 --> 839.36] So for those of you who aren't familiar with these jokers, +[839.76 --> 842.72] we've got Kyle right here and Paul right here. +[842.78 --> 844.32] And they will be living between us. +[845.20 --> 846.50] I swear I'll never be a place to be. +[848.46 --> 850.90] I don't know why I signed up for this, really. +[851.36 --> 853.16] And they'll be completely replacing Luke. +[853.26 --> 853.42] Yeah. +[853.48 --> 854.56] Oh, did you notice the shirts? +[856.02 --> 857.42] We joined in on a fun. +[857.84 --> 858.00] Yeah. +[858.48 --> 860.40] I actually have been wearing this all day. +[860.56 --> 863.40] I didn't even know that anything was going on with your team trolling you. +[863.48 --> 864.52] This is just pure coincidence. +[864.52 --> 865.64] So it must be. +[865.72 --> 866.18] It must be. +[866.54 --> 871.66] And then he got here right as you guys were revealing that you all had the shirts on. +[871.74 --> 873.14] I was like, oh, I've got one too. +[873.14 --> 876.08] This is how Paul answered the door five minutes ago when I rolled to his house. +[876.14 --> 876.56] He opens the door. +[876.62 --> 877.40] He's like, he looks at me. +[877.46 --> 878.82] He's like, I have to change my clothes. +[878.98 --> 879.52] I'm like, what? +[879.62 --> 880.90] What's happening over there? +[881.32 --> 881.96] You do shit. +[882.76 --> 883.80] It's very, very important. +[883.86 --> 884.70] Thank you guys for having us. +[884.76 --> 885.00] Yes. +[885.06 --> 885.44] Thank you. +[885.62 --> 886.20] Thank you very much. +[886.20 --> 888.94] Oh, apparently you guys are pretty loud. +[889.02 --> 889.56] Hold on a second. +[889.64 --> 891.12] I'm going to turn you all down a little bit. +[891.42 --> 892.56] Maybe I'll just turn you down all the way. +[892.56 --> 893.58] You guys are so influential. +[893.72 --> 894.58] He just said y'all. +[895.30 --> 895.72] All right. +[896.08 --> 896.44] Let's. +[896.44 --> 898.12] At least I don't dislike you guys that much. +[898.26 --> 899.38] Let's hear from people. +[899.52 --> 901.70] Let's see if that sounds okay. +[902.26 --> 903.94] You guys are also peaking a little bit. +[904.04 --> 907.84] So I'm not sure if that's a microphone setting or whatever else, but hopefully we're all good. +[908.56 --> 909.90] Apparently the stream died. +[910.20 --> 911.94] So I don't know what's up with that. +[912.06 --> 913.82] It doesn't look like it's dead on our side. +[913.96 --> 917.96] So we're going to continue sort of trucking along here. +[917.96 --> 919.10] Hey, let's send up for a second. +[919.30 --> 921.22] Why don't you push the mic a little further away? +[921.32 --> 922.14] Yeah, that could help too. +[922.52 --> 925.98] Yeah, we dropped a few frames, but it looks like we are definitely back here. +[925.98 --> 926.66] So, all right. +[928.00 --> 930.54] What the heck is going on over there? +[931.56 --> 932.32] Oh, you know. +[932.50 --> 933.06] Just in general. +[933.06 --> 934.38] A little of this, a little of that. +[935.48 --> 936.40] Hashtag Neweggate. +[936.90 --> 937.32] What heck? +[937.60 --> 939.92] So, yeah. +[940.06 --> 947.96] I guess if you guys aren't familiar with like Newegg TV, that's what Kyle and I have been doing for quite a few years now. +[948.44 --> 952.30] Kind of regular presenters on the Newegg TV YouTube channel. +[953.00 --> 959.30] Kyle does a little bit more behind the scenes than I do, but kind of similar to what Linus used to do with NCIX. +[960.30 --> 960.50] Right. +[960.50 --> 972.66] And we have just recently both sort of independently, and then we both kind of found out that we were both kind of on the same page, made the decision that we were going to go our separate ways and leave Newegg. +[973.02 --> 978.80] We still have a setup there, so we are still, we're not going to be gone completely. +[978.92 --> 980.78] We're still going to be participating a little bit over there. +[980.78 --> 986.86] Kyle was just over there today, and he did the Alt-Tab live show that is also on Twitch. +[987.46 --> 987.64] Right. +[987.98 --> 988.86] That was good times. +[989.40 --> 989.66] Yes. +[990.00 --> 990.24] Yes. +[990.24 --> 992.80] So, you guys are going independent. +[992.96 --> 996.10] Do you feel a little bit like, oh, I don't know, copycats? +[997.88 --> 998.24] Copycats. +[998.52 --> 1001.86] I was going to say, was it Logan? +[1002.10 --> 1002.52] Didn't Logan? +[1002.52 --> 1003.32] I was just going to say. +[1003.68 --> 1004.02] You can't lose to that. +[1004.02 --> 1008.12] Because I've seen a lot of people say, hey, everyone's, they've been saying we're pulling like a Jerry. +[1008.12 --> 1014.62] Like, because Jerry is the most recent person to leave his job to some degree. +[1015.32 --> 1018.02] But I got to go back to Logan. +[1018.18 --> 1021.82] I feel like Logan kind of set the bar for all of us on that one. +[1021.90 --> 1022.40] Yeah, exactly. +[1022.72 --> 1024.58] At the end of the day, we're all copying someone. +[1024.74 --> 1025.80] It might as well be Logan, right? +[1026.14 --> 1026.50] Exactly. +[1027.12 --> 1033.20] But it's just kind of interesting how this huge transition for both Paul and I kind of started at the same time. +[1033.20 --> 1039.32] And I think it was kind of for the best that it happened at the same time as opposed to spreading it out. +[1039.68 --> 1041.88] Like having one big announcement at the company. +[1042.42 --> 1044.04] And then a month later, somebody else is leaving. +[1044.64 --> 1045.96] So, we kind of just talked about it. +[1046.02 --> 1047.98] It was like, hey, so, Paul, I'm planning this. +[1048.00 --> 1048.46] And he's like, really? +[1048.66 --> 1049.60] I'm kind of planning this. +[1049.68 --> 1050.36] And we're like, oh, wow. +[1050.46 --> 1051.18] It's kind of funny. +[1051.24 --> 1052.20] Why don't we do it together or whatever? +[1052.54 --> 1054.64] So, it kind of worked out that way. +[1055.06 --> 1058.12] And, you know, but still much love to Newegg. +[1058.32 --> 1059.22] They've helped me a lot. +[1059.44 --> 1061.96] That was literally my first job straight out of college. +[1061.96 --> 1063.84] They're the only people who would take me. +[1064.32 --> 1065.74] I don't blame them. +[1065.88 --> 1066.02] Oh. +[1067.42 --> 1071.32] But we had a few other choices. +[1072.18 --> 1072.50] Yes. +[1072.72 --> 1075.02] But they didn't work out. +[1076.76 --> 1076.96] Yeah. +[1077.38 --> 1078.72] That was so ominous. +[1079.78 --> 1081.10] Looks off into the distance. +[1081.20 --> 1082.06] I wasn't sure where he was. +[1082.84 --> 1084.42] Discretion isn't really Paul's specialty. +[1085.00 --> 1085.22] Yeah. +[1085.36 --> 1085.78] It didn't work out. +[1085.86 --> 1090.60] But, yeah, at the end of the day, going independent is, I think, a good decision for both of us. +[1090.60 --> 1092.42] I know I'm really excited. +[1092.74 --> 1097.78] This last week, I've just been, you know, waking up at 9 as opposed to 7, which is always awesome. +[1098.58 --> 1099.22] Working hard. +[1099.34 --> 1104.06] And the ability, straight up the ability, because before, I would work 40 hours a week at Newegg. +[1104.10 --> 1107.56] I would come home around 5.30, 6 p.m., have dinner, take a shower. +[1107.64 --> 1112.02] By the time I'm ready to actually start a video for my personal channel, it's like 9 o'clock. +[1112.02 --> 1115.40] And I'm up until 3 a.m. and got to wake up at 7.30 the next morning. +[1115.48 --> 1118.04] It's just, it's a mind whirl. +[1118.26 --> 1126.96] So being able to wake up, write a script, and conceptualize a video, and shoot and edit that video and post it all on the same day is amazing. +[1127.46 --> 1134.30] It's probably, it's a great feeling to have, which I'm sure you guys are in that sort of same workflow for your channel. +[1134.30 --> 1142.06] So speaking of, you know, waking up and conceptualizing a video and then, you know, producing it and all that stuff, +[1142.38 --> 1147.34] have you guys actually, have you guys made much content since you've gone independent? +[1147.48 --> 1150.64] And how is this going to affect the type of content that you're creating? +[1151.98 --> 1152.96] Kyle has. +[1153.46 --> 1154.76] I have not yet. +[1154.90 --> 1159.96] So I was trying to get to finish off a video last night, and I didn't. +[1159.96 --> 1164.66] So that's still, I'm going to post, there'll be a new video on my channel this evening. +[1165.00 --> 1165.66] I promise. +[1166.54 --> 1167.72] 95% of the way. +[1168.76 --> 1170.52] How are you guys planning to support yourselves? +[1170.64 --> 1179.18] I mean, I think that you don't have to explain to me that, you know, Google AdSense is not necessarily the white knight and savior +[1179.18 --> 1184.24] that people who watch but don't necessarily create the content might believe it is. +[1185.54 --> 1186.20] What's your plan? +[1186.20 --> 1186.40] That's true. +[1186.88 --> 1191.70] We're nowhere near, neither of us are anywhere near being able to support ourselves on just the AdSense revenue. +[1192.70 --> 1199.48] I think, as you probably know, part of the nature of kind of the content that we do, since we cover technology, +[1199.66 --> 1204.46] we cover products that are brought to market and sold to people and that companies make profit from. +[1204.46 --> 1212.30] So as a result of that, we have the possibility to do things like pre-roll type ads, those things that you've done. +[1212.92 --> 1219.72] I mean, obviously, there's, you got to kind of, especially when it's for your own channel versus working for a separate company, +[1219.88 --> 1224.26] you got to kind of take a step back and think, okay, if I'm going to do something like this, how am I going to do it? +[1224.48 --> 1228.60] How am I going to make it as non-intrusive for anyone who's watching my channel as possible? +[1228.60 --> 1232.20] We'll also give companies a chance to, you know, promote their products if they want to. +[1232.88 --> 1241.18] So I think I might be doing some basic, simple, you know, like five to ten second pre-roll ads in the near future. +[1241.18 --> 1252.90] And then I might actually be doing some writing for some websites that do content of the technical nature, I guess. +[1253.50 --> 1255.66] So big! We want more information! +[1256.26 --> 1262.00] I know, none of this stuff is set in stone yet, so I don't want to say, like, yes, I'm going to be doing this until I know for sure. +[1262.04 --> 1263.50] I was like one big striptease. +[1263.88 --> 1264.16] Yes. +[1264.58 --> 1265.46] Wanting more at the end. +[1265.54 --> 1265.90] That's it. +[1266.04 --> 1266.96] That's our seduction. +[1267.22 --> 1270.42] But you guys are also still going to be doing some stuff with New Egg, correct? +[1270.42 --> 1271.30] Yes. +[1271.72 --> 1271.90] Yeah. +[1272.08 --> 1278.88] So the plan right now is that we're each going to go in one day a week and help out with whatever the regular content is. +[1278.94 --> 1281.38] And we might be doing some additional videos here and there as well. +[1281.82 --> 1290.86] So the Yolked show, which is kind of tech news and us messing around, which is kind of fun, the Alt-Tab live show, are the main ones right now. +[1291.02 --> 1296.60] And then, you know, obviously the team over there is going through some transition right now at the same time. +[1296.60 --> 1304.82] So we need to sort of also wait and see and say, okay, we've taken a step back from any kind of leadership role that we might have played before. +[1304.98 --> 1308.18] So what do they want to do next and how can we play a part in that? +[1308.80 --> 1309.34] So, yeah. +[1309.70 --> 1312.34] And that's the main thing I think that we wanted to communicate to people. +[1312.86 --> 1324.54] While this is a pretty huge change for both of us personally and possibly, I guess, also a decent change for the New Egg channel as well, this was not done out of animosity towards New Egg or anything. +[1324.54 --> 1325.70] Anything to that effect. +[1326.62 --> 1330.26] I'm still going to be ordering stuff there all the time because I can drive right over to Wocall. +[1331.00 --> 1335.66] And, yeah, so there's no, like, major problems or anything like that. +[1335.70 --> 1339.28] It was just something both of us kind of came to realize. +[1339.40 --> 1341.82] I think Kyle had some other personal family reasons. +[1341.82 --> 1359.66] And then for me, I mean, if you work for somewhere for an extended period of time, as great as it might be at some point, you just need to decide, okay, I need to stretch myself and reach out and try to do something that's a little bit more different or that allows me to, I don't know, like Kyle was saying earlier, the creativity. +[1359.92 --> 1360.24] Fly. +[1360.36 --> 1361.20] Fly away, little bird. +[1361.88 --> 1365.86] I was stretching myself and putting my arm around you and then you just abandoned me. +[1366.30 --> 1366.80] Gosh. +[1367.66 --> 1369.86] Is that the tape that you used to cover that? +[1369.88 --> 1372.12] That's a giant massive waste of electrical tape. +[1372.66 --> 1373.98] You got to let that bad boy shine. +[1374.28 --> 1376.22] Actually, much more expensive gaff tape. +[1377.10 --> 1377.82] Oh, God. +[1377.90 --> 1378.34] That's a sin. +[1378.34 --> 1378.92] That's good stuff. +[1378.92 --> 1383.72] So I hate to do this to you guys, but Skype's using up about 20% of our CPU right now, +[1383.72 --> 1387.56] and our stream is lagging to crap because we're at 100% CPU usage. +[1388.10 --> 1392.58] So I'm actually going to have to say thank you guys so much for coming on, +[1392.78 --> 1396.36] but it's kind of not working for us, unfortunately. +[1396.94 --> 1398.62] This relationship isn't going to be able to continue. +[1399.04 --> 1403.08] So we'll come on, hopefully, in a future episode or something like that. +[1403.32 --> 1407.98] We're going to upgrade our CPU, and we'll have you guys on again to just kind of be regular guests. +[1407.98 --> 1412.72] I think it's great that you came on for the announcement, but I think I have to let you go. +[1412.84 --> 1417.20] So thank you guys. Again, I'm very sorry. Nothing personal, except that I hate you. +[1417.80 --> 1419.94] No worries. Of course. We love you guys. +[1419.96 --> 1423.30] I thought Cal was trying to direct people to his Amazon link instead of yours. +[1423.78 --> 1425.22] No, actually. Wow. +[1425.66 --> 1428.80] I'm not. Watch my last video. Go to my channel and watch it. +[1428.84 --> 1433.52] I specifically say, if you don't already have Linus' bookmarks, don't leave mine. +[1433.88 --> 1437.36] And now he's desperately trying to plead for views. +[1437.36 --> 1439.14] He wants me to go watch his video. +[1439.24 --> 1440.50] Go to my video. +[1440.64 --> 1441.42] Please watch my video. +[1441.44 --> 1443.48] I need that one more incremental count. +[1443.84 --> 1445.22] All right. We'll see you guys later. +[1445.68 --> 1445.86] Bye. +[1445.86 --> 1447.08] See you later, guys. +[1447.60 --> 1448.78] Hopefully that fixes it. +[1448.96 --> 1450.34] Yeah, I certainly hope it does. +[1450.82 --> 1453.22] So let's go ahead and move that screen region. +[1453.60 --> 1455.36] See what happens to our CPU usage now. +[1455.36 --> 1456.64] Wow. This computer is not stoked. +[1456.80 --> 1457.18] Yeah. +[1457.36 --> 1457.80] Boom. +[1457.80 --> 1460.64] Okay. So look at that. +[1460.74 --> 1466.80] We are way down and hopefully we are actually encoding frames instead of dropping them now. +[1466.98 --> 1469.74] Welcome back to the show actually functioning. +[1470.18 --> 1474.76] Like I said, guys, there wasn't really anything that I could do about it. +[1474.76 --> 1478.94] We had about Skype was claiming 20% CPU load. +[1479.00 --> 1481.76] It looks like it was actually closer to around 35%. +[1482.36 --> 1488.52] So we went from 60% CPU to no CPU left at all. +[1488.90 --> 1491.16] And we were pinned at 100%. +[1491.16 --> 1491.84] That was brutal. +[1492.20 --> 1493.82] So I'm really sorry about that, you guys. +[1493.90 --> 1499.06] We will bring Paul and Kyle back on sometime in the near future, hopefully in the next few weeks here. +[1499.06 --> 1504.38] And we will dive into some topics together and have that tech chat that I know you guys want to hear. +[1504.82 --> 1505.84] And I'm really sorry about that. +[1505.88 --> 1507.56] But we got to just move forward with the show. +[1507.66 --> 1509.48] We can't have it running like that forever. +[1509.76 --> 1511.12] Looks like we're not dropping frames anymore. +[1511.22 --> 1511.76] So I think we're good. +[1511.88 --> 1512.40] I think we're good. +[1512.46 --> 1513.16] I think that fixed it. +[1513.24 --> 1513.60] All right. +[1513.78 --> 1516.16] So moving on to Bendgate. +[1516.50 --> 1519.70] This was originally posted on the Linus Tech Tips forum by Lars Reviews. +[1519.70 --> 1522.66] And there's actually a fairly excellent thread. +[1522.78 --> 1526.76] If you're not already a member of linusstechtips.com, then you should probably go there. +[1526.76 --> 1530.34] Because if we don't have enough members, he'll lose his job again. +[1530.44 --> 1531.04] Oh my. +[1531.66 --> 1532.02] Wow. +[1532.30 --> 1532.56] Yeah. +[1532.68 --> 1533.32] Yeah, that's right. +[1533.34 --> 1533.94] We don't have enough members? +[1534.30 --> 1535.38] I think we have enough members. +[1535.44 --> 1535.72] Okay. +[1535.98 --> 1538.30] I have the one most important member. +[1540.26 --> 1541.50] That's not on the forum, though. +[1541.70 --> 1542.14] No, that's true. +[1542.14 --> 1544.30] If it was, I think I'd probably have to remove it. +[1545.32 --> 1546.88] But I wouldn't delete that thread. +[1547.58 --> 1548.40] I would just hide it. +[1548.40 --> 1548.74] Yeah. +[1548.90 --> 1549.28] Excellent. +[1549.38 --> 1550.98] Excellent thread on the forum about it. +[1550.98 --> 1559.12] But basically, there's some videos allegedly breaking phones in half made by one of our +[1559.12 --> 1563.94] good friends, Lou, over at Unbox Therapy, where because of some... +[1563.94 --> 1564.48] They didn't break it in half. +[1565.00 --> 1567.20] Well, when something is... +[1567.20 --> 1569.26] Okay, not at the halfway point, I guess. +[1571.76 --> 1572.28] Yes. +[1572.28 --> 1577.80] So the point is, there were some reports of people having iPhone 6 Pluses bending from +[1577.80 --> 1579.96] carrying them in their front pockets. +[1580.84 --> 1583.44] These kind of started to circulate on the internet. +[1583.78 --> 1590.42] And Lou from Unbox Therapy made a video demonstrating how easily the phone could be significantly bent +[1590.42 --> 1597.42] and then how the screen would crack and it would basically become useless once you bent it back to its original flat form. +[1598.18 --> 1604.72] This has been the most viral video, I think, on any tech YouTuber's channel ever. +[1605.18 --> 1605.58] Probably. +[1605.80 --> 1612.42] And Lou posted a screenshot from his YouTube creators app of it at 10 million views. +[1612.52 --> 1614.72] I think the morning after he originally posted it. +[1614.78 --> 1618.52] This thing went super crazy viral. +[1618.86 --> 1619.36] But... +[1619.36 --> 1622.24] I think it's like 30 million now or something just for that one video. +[1622.30 --> 1625.22] And he's released three on the topic, which are all above a million views. +[1625.42 --> 1626.16] Way more. +[1626.26 --> 1628.18] And he's been doing bend tests of other things. +[1628.26 --> 1631.36] Other people are jumping on the bend test wagon. +[1631.48 --> 1635.66] I think I saw NCIX post on their Facebook today a motherboard bent over. +[1635.72 --> 1636.92] I recognize the board, too. +[1637.00 --> 1643.70] It's an X58 board that was a sample that we got, like, ages ago when I used to work there. +[1643.84 --> 1644.50] Oh, man. +[1645.68 --> 1647.62] People are saying bend to 980, get more views. +[1647.72 --> 1649.06] I really don't think that would happen. +[1649.06 --> 1650.40] I think people would just call us idiots. +[1650.72 --> 1650.92] Yeah. +[1651.16 --> 1652.42] And that would be really hard to do. +[1652.68 --> 1652.98] Yeah. +[1653.28 --> 1656.16] We'd have to put it in a vice and stuff. +[1656.66 --> 1658.48] I'd just rather not bend the 980. +[1658.66 --> 1662.70] I'd rather people, someone at some point, game on that 980. +[1662.86 --> 1663.44] Because that's... +[1663.44 --> 1665.72] I don't believe in breaking hardware on purpose. +[1665.72 --> 1670.62] I do think particularly the original bend demonstration video was very important. +[1670.84 --> 1671.20] Justified. +[1671.50 --> 1673.26] Just to make people aware of the issue. +[1673.78 --> 1679.26] But along those lines, Apple is claiming now that it isn't actually an issue. +[1679.26 --> 1694.20] So they're saying that out of all the, you know, hype surrounding Bendgate, only 9 users have actually come forward to Apple about having broken their or bent their phone through regular use. +[1694.20 --> 1705.32] And they are saying that any of the phones that were able to be bent so easily in this manner just must be suffering from some kind of materials defect. +[1705.86 --> 1707.72] And it's not a problem with the design of the phone. +[1707.72 --> 1710.46] There's a lot of other stuff kind of floating around. +[1710.70 --> 1712.14] So this is just kind of funny. +[1712.22 --> 1722.60] Apple threw up a job posting for a Q&A sort of position that one of the things listed in the job description was bending testing. +[1722.88 --> 1723.40] Was it Ashley? +[1723.88 --> 1724.22] Yeah. +[1724.60 --> 1726.12] But again, this is... +[1726.12 --> 1726.76] You think it was a joke? +[1727.06 --> 1730.98] This is stuff that could have just been a regular job posting anyway. +[1731.42 --> 1734.06] I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with Bendgate. +[1734.06 --> 1737.02] I think really the proof will be in the pudding. +[1737.02 --> 1740.66] Are we going to see more people coming forward with bent phones? +[1741.58 --> 1745.42] One thing that I've seen Apple fanboys kind of running around saying is, +[1745.54 --> 1746.52] Oh, well, it's aluminum. +[1746.78 --> 1750.38] So, you know, yeah, it was going to bend. +[1750.60 --> 1751.64] Anyway, you know what? +[1751.80 --> 1752.92] The one I made is aluminum. +[1753.36 --> 1757.74] And I can't bend it. +[1757.84 --> 1758.60] I can turn it on. +[1759.38 --> 1760.88] Like change the volume. +[1761.18 --> 1762.20] But I can't bend the phone. +[1762.80 --> 1765.56] Which it did perfectly fine while he was trying to bend it. +[1765.56 --> 1767.64] For that matter, the 5S has an aluminum back. +[1767.98 --> 1768.68] It's made by Apple. +[1768.78 --> 1769.42] It also doesn't bend. +[1770.14 --> 1770.34] Yeah. +[1770.34 --> 1773.98] I think that's pretty much it. +[1775.18 --> 1776.72] There's honestly not that much to say. +[1776.90 --> 1778.88] It's a massively over-exhausted topic. +[1779.44 --> 1779.72] Yep. +[1780.40 --> 1782.70] I don't want to even give it that much more attention. +[1782.92 --> 1783.86] One other thing. +[1783.92 --> 1788.56] Apple says that the new phones feature steel and titanium inserts to reinforce trust locations. +[1788.56 --> 1790.86] And they use the strongest glass in the industry. +[1791.56 --> 1793.04] So, okay. +[1793.46 --> 1795.76] They didn't use sapphire, which we all thought they were going to use. +[1795.98 --> 1796.34] Yeah. +[1797.32 --> 1798.32] That was interesting. +[1798.66 --> 1800.10] That could have been interesting. +[1800.28 --> 1802.10] Because I wonder if that would have helped resist bending. +[1802.60 --> 1803.52] I kind of doubt it. +[1803.52 --> 1803.80] Probably not. +[1803.80 --> 1807.10] I mean, Marcus's video where he has the sapphire crystal glass. +[1807.68 --> 1808.26] Oh, that's a good point. +[1808.56 --> 1814.58] He kind of, in his first video in particular, I think he unfortunately hadn't seen Corning +[1814.58 --> 1816.92] Gorilla Glass 3 off of a phone before. +[1817.06 --> 1817.20] Yeah. +[1817.26 --> 1820.26] So he was kind of marveling at how clear it was and how it flexed and all that. +[1820.48 --> 1823.28] But Gorilla Glass 3 behaves in pretty much exactly the same manner. +[1823.28 --> 1823.64] Yeah. +[1823.64 --> 1826.34] So, aside from the scratch resistance, I don't think. +[1826.62 --> 1826.84] Yeah. +[1826.84 --> 1829.22] Which wouldn't have actually helped rigidity in any way. +[1829.50 --> 1829.90] So, yeah. +[1830.22 --> 1830.66] Never mind. +[1831.58 --> 1832.06] Moot point. +[1832.98 --> 1833.44] So, okay. +[1833.52 --> 1834.84] I hadn't heard anything about this. +[1834.90 --> 1835.76] What's going on with the cooler? +[1836.38 --> 1839.86] The EVGA ACX 970 cooler. +[1840.00 --> 1840.48] Ah, yes. +[1840.56 --> 1842.96] Originally posted on the forum by DevilZ. +[1843.42 --> 1844.22] Thank you, Sean. +[1845.34 --> 1845.74] PhysX. +[1846.94 --> 1847.38] EVGA. +[1847.54 --> 1849.74] This is Sean's headline here. +[1849.90 --> 1855.10] EVGA could lose out on quite a bit of money due to trying to cut costs on their GTX 970 +[1855.10 --> 1856.14] 980 cards. +[1856.14 --> 1859.94] The original article is from E-Technics. +[1860.22 --> 1866.88] And it's that EVGA may have used a cooler from a bigger card to save on manufacturing costs. +[1867.00 --> 1872.76] So, there's a picture of a cooler taken off an EVGA 900 series card here. +[1873.14 --> 1873.96] And I'm going to go ahead. +[1874.02 --> 1876.58] I'm going to load that page eventually if I can. +[1876.58 --> 1881.12] But in the meantime, why don't we just switch to the no guest view so you guys don't have to wait for it. +[1881.40 --> 1883.70] But basically what happened was the bottom. +[1884.36 --> 1884.58] Sorry? +[1884.80 --> 1885.46] It started working. +[1885.66 --> 1886.06] Which did? +[1886.44 --> 1886.62] There. +[1887.28 --> 1887.86] Oh, no, no, no. +[1887.86 --> 1888.18] It didn't. +[1888.56 --> 1888.78] What? +[1888.86 --> 1890.00] This page is still loading. +[1890.16 --> 1890.44] Oh, my bad. +[1890.44 --> 1893.28] I just switched back to a page that works like linustechchips.com. +[1893.40 --> 1893.80] Oops. +[1894.06 --> 1894.42] Hey! +[1895.36 --> 1895.90] That's right. +[1895.98 --> 1896.40] Get wrecked. +[1896.76 --> 1899.40] So, basically, I'll just have to help you guys visualize this. +[1899.46 --> 1900.50] There's three heat pipes. +[1901.36 --> 1901.94] There we go. +[1902.00 --> 1903.06] Do you need to help with your demonstration? +[1903.30 --> 1903.44] No. +[1903.44 --> 1904.24] Should I be the heat pipes? +[1904.24 --> 1905.96] Yeah, you can be the heat pipes. +[1905.96 --> 1906.16] Okay. +[1906.16 --> 1907.42] So there's three heat pipes. +[1907.42 --> 1916.32] And then you can tell from the thermal paste pattern that the GPU core itself is actually only contacting two of them. +[1916.32 --> 1919.80] And one of them is not making contact with the GPU core. +[1919.80 --> 1930.60] Now, this has led to some speculation that EVGA's direct touch cooler will not work very well and could perform significantly worse than if all three heat pipes were making contact. +[1930.60 --> 1932.94] There is some truth to this. +[1933.22 --> 1936.82] Direct heat pipe touch technology does make a difference. +[1937.02 --> 1940.14] And having them all touching the core would probably help. +[1940.28 --> 1944.56] But I think people are overestimating how much of a difference that's going to make. +[1944.86 --> 1954.68] Remember, the problem with a copper base plate on anything, let's say a heat sink or, yeah, let's say a heat sink because that would be fairly related. +[1954.68 --> 1955.00] Yeah. +[1955.00 --> 1973.16] So the problem with having a copper base on a heat sink, the reason that we use heat pipes and vapor chambers instead of just using a flat slab of copper is that copper can't conduct heat away quickly enough in order to provide the best possible cooling once you build a heat sink that's large enough. +[1973.64 --> 1976.66] Over short distances, this is not an issue. +[1976.66 --> 1990.94] So with the die right next to it right there and those heat pipes being the hottest part of that cooler and that next heat pipe being right next to those other heat pipes that are the hottest part of the cooler, it's going to be working. +[1991.32 --> 1992.54] It's going to be doing something. +[1992.74 --> 1994.18] Might not be as effective. +[1994.60 --> 1998.42] But we're talking, I'd be surprised if the difference is more than a degree or two. +[1999.24 --> 2003.24] And in the grand scheme of things, that's not going to be a huge deal. +[2003.36 --> 2004.74] Those cars are already running pretty cool. +[2004.74 --> 2006.24] They are already running pretty cool. +[2006.24 --> 2014.18] Well, that said, you know, is two degrees the difference between one boost state versus another boost state on cards that overclock themselves? +[2015.46 --> 2015.90] Maybe. +[2017.00 --> 2025.02] But I'd also suspect that having another person sitting in the room watching you game would make as much of a difference because of just the heat from their body. +[2025.08 --> 2029.84] And we're already getting like low temps of around 70 on average as far as I've been able to tell with our cards. +[2030.00 --> 2031.52] Yeah, with non-reference cards. +[2031.76 --> 2032.00] Yeah. +[2032.00 --> 2035.16] So there you go. +[2035.24 --> 2037.88] That's pretty much, I guess, all I really have to say about that. +[2037.94 --> 2040.48] I don't think it's as big of a deal as other people are. +[2040.70 --> 2041.80] EVGA did respond. +[2042.16 --> 2044.84] They said that though, and I hadn't actually seen their response yet. +[2044.90 --> 2047.20] This has been added to the doc since the last time I looked at it. +[2047.20 --> 2057.96] The way the GTX 970 ACX heatsink was designed is based on the GTX 970 wattage plus an additional 40% cooling headroom on top of it. +[2058.04 --> 2061.00] So they're saying about a total of 200 watts. +[2061.00 --> 2066.04] Also, we would like to mention that the cooler passed NVIDIA's green light specifications. +[2066.04 --> 2081.32] Due to the small contact area of that GPU, because it has a small die size, we intended for the GPU to contact two major heat pipes with direct touch to get the best heat dissipation out of it without any other material in between them. +[2081.32 --> 2084.24] Um, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc. +[2084.24 --> 2087.02] Regarding fan noise, this is not a fan noise issue. +[2087.20 --> 2088.16] It's more, oh, okay. +[2088.22 --> 2093.02] Regarding fan noise, we understood that some had expressed concerns over the fan noise of each EVGA's GTX 970 cards. +[2093.38 --> 2097.90] This is not a fan noise issue, but more of an aggressive fan curve set by the default BIOS. +[2097.90 --> 2099.40] Regardless, we have heard your concerns. +[2099.50 --> 2104.66] We are going to provide a BIOS update that keeps the cards quieter and ramps up less aggressively. +[2104.98 --> 2111.28] With that said, you can control GPU fan speeds and software, so if you don't want to wait for the BIOS update, then I would say... +[2111.28 --> 2112.14] Fairly simple to do. +[2112.64 --> 2113.52] Go for it. +[2113.60 --> 2115.02] Especially with their... +[2115.02 --> 2115.68] Are you talking? +[2116.38 --> 2117.46] Have you forgotten you're dead to me? +[2118.28 --> 2119.50] What's the name of their software again? +[2120.24 --> 2121.02] Uh, Precision X. +[2121.02 --> 2123.96] Precision X has pretty good fan curve stuff in it. +[2123.96 --> 2126.22] So if you want to change it, use their own software. +[2126.66 --> 2127.70] Not too hard. +[2128.38 --> 2131.28] The Verge wrote a pretty hilarious, I guess. +[2131.38 --> 2133.66] I made it about two-thirds of the way through, and then I got kind of bored. +[2133.84 --> 2134.74] But it was pretty funny while I was reading it. +[2134.74 --> 2135.60] It can't be that hilarious. +[2135.74 --> 2136.60] No, it was pretty funny. +[2136.88 --> 2141.26] They wrote a pretty hilarious piece on the fact that the next... +[2141.26 --> 2142.00] Well, they... +[2142.00 --> 2142.62] Okay, apparently. +[2143.02 --> 2147.74] The fact that the next Nexus tablet will be made by HTC. +[2147.98 --> 2152.28] And the Verge's article was full of, you know, lovers quarrels and all this kind of stuff. +[2152.28 --> 2156.76] The main characters are, of course, Google, HTC, Tamtongue, LG. +[2156.76 --> 2157.68] So is it like a triangle? +[2157.78 --> 2157.98] No. +[2158.22 --> 2160.24] Yeah, just kind of the industry. +[2160.36 --> 2161.26] The Android ecosystem. +[2161.62 --> 2162.56] All the different players. +[2162.64 --> 2163.12] It was pretty funny. +[2163.56 --> 2164.76] But basically, that's it. +[2164.80 --> 2167.06] This was posted by Ethnod on the forum. +[2167.16 --> 2169.62] And the original source here is Reuters.com. +[2169.62 --> 2176.64] And apparently, Google has selected HTC for an upcoming 9-inch Nexus tablet. +[2176.82 --> 2177.82] So it looks like they're splitting. +[2177.98 --> 2179.30] They're using HTC for the tablet. +[2179.40 --> 2182.76] And I believe they're using Moto, Motorola still, for their phone. +[2182.92 --> 2183.98] Is that confirmed? +[2184.14 --> 2187.10] Or are we speculating based on that it looks like the Moto X? +[2187.10 --> 2187.84] I think it's speculating. +[2187.84 --> 2188.80] The new gen Moto X. +[2188.96 --> 2189.10] Right. +[2189.58 --> 2191.90] But it has, like, the circular flash. +[2191.96 --> 2194.06] And it has all this stuff which is very similar to the Moto X. +[2194.06 --> 2194.36] Yes. +[2194.54 --> 2195.68] It does look very similar. +[2196.06 --> 2197.20] Again, it's still speculation. +[2197.66 --> 2198.86] But it's, I don't know. +[2198.94 --> 2200.50] It'll be interesting using two different manufacturers. +[2200.50 --> 2206.84] So Google has been mulling HTC as a potential partner since last year. +[2207.14 --> 2210.18] HTC hasn't made a tablet since 2011. +[2210.82 --> 2213.50] So this was announced at Google I.O. in June. +[2213.60 --> 2215.08] It's expected Q3 2014. +[2215.80 --> 2222.64] And it will apparently be powered by the Tegra K1, which is extremely good news. +[2222.78 --> 2222.86] Yeah. +[2223.06 --> 2226.48] Because something that I noticed, I don't know if other people noticed, +[2226.48 --> 2231.52] but Anantek had a great article on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus' performance. +[2232.32 --> 2237.84] And of all the Android devices that were in the performance charts, +[2238.08 --> 2243.74] the one that really hung with the iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus was the NVIDIA Shield tablet, +[2244.24 --> 2246.16] which is based on the Tegra K1. +[2246.36 --> 2246.52] Yeah. +[2246.96 --> 2248.62] And that's in terms of CPU. +[2248.90 --> 2251.26] In terms of GPU, the K1 blew away everything. +[2251.34 --> 2251.56] Yeah. +[2251.74 --> 2254.16] Just absolutely demolished everything else. +[2254.24 --> 2254.60] NVIDIA. +[2254.60 --> 2256.92] So I'm excited about that. +[2256.98 --> 2264.72] The problem with the K1, the big, like I wonder if NVIDIA had hoped that K1 would be suitable for phone use. +[2264.98 --> 2270.18] But the problem with the K1 is that the thermals are just not really suitable for that. +[2270.30 --> 2273.90] And they're more optimal for tablet use at this time. +[2273.94 --> 2277.78] So at least we can have fast Android tablets as fast as the fastest Apple devices. +[2278.34 --> 2280.68] Just not smartphones yet. +[2280.68 --> 2283.82] I'm also not surprised that the K1 is heavily focused on GPU. +[2285.22 --> 2285.64] I am. +[2286.44 --> 2286.74] Why? +[2287.24 --> 2287.66] NVIDIA? +[2288.02 --> 2288.26] Yeah. +[2288.42 --> 2289.64] I mean, they're all about... +[2289.64 --> 2290.48] Stop trolling. +[2290.88 --> 2293.06] You were so genuine with that I am. +[2293.38 --> 2294.90] I was like, did I miss something? +[2295.32 --> 2296.24] What did I do? +[2296.64 --> 2298.18] Holy crap, I said something stupid. +[2298.84 --> 2300.46] No, you didn't say anything stupid. +[2300.56 --> 2301.78] You just wore something stupid. +[2301.92 --> 2302.10] Hey. +[2302.10 --> 2303.50] So that's why you're dead to me. +[2303.66 --> 2303.98] No. +[2304.76 --> 2305.20] Dead to me. +[2305.64 --> 2309.46] Speaking of dead to me, Watch Dogs is turning into a franchise. +[2309.78 --> 2311.98] They are not dead at all. +[2312.48 --> 2314.60] That's a terrible segue. +[2314.80 --> 2315.08] I know. +[2315.38 --> 2317.82] I could have said a lot of different things about... +[2317.82 --> 2321.60] I could have tied dead to me into Watch Dogs and Ubisoft in a lot of different ways. +[2321.90 --> 2322.34] Yeah. +[2322.60 --> 2322.96] Yeah. +[2323.82 --> 2324.46] Let's say... +[2324.46 --> 2325.16] You took the hard way. +[2325.16 --> 2329.68] Rather than saying that, you know, I missed an opportunity, why don't we say I had restraint? +[2330.04 --> 2330.60] There we go. +[2330.82 --> 2331.16] You know what? +[2331.18 --> 2331.82] I'm down with that. +[2331.82 --> 2332.74] Oh, all right. +[2332.74 --> 2334.32] Because usually we do the digging thing. +[2334.54 --> 2339.68] At any rate, this was originally posted by DLF on the forum. +[2339.78 --> 2341.02] I couldn't tell if it was Diff. +[2341.92 --> 2343.06] Diff or DLF. +[2343.12 --> 2348.14] And the original article is from Computer and Video Games and Ubisoft Montreal's... +[2348.14 --> 2349.76] We're just staring at the doc right now. +[2349.76 --> 2350.96] Vice President of Creative. +[2351.56 --> 2352.24] Of Creative. +[2352.46 --> 2352.64] Yes. +[2352.94 --> 2353.48] That's a thing. +[2354.26 --> 2354.88] Is it? +[2355.18 --> 2355.66] Maybe not. +[2356.06 --> 2361.22] Anyway, has said that although the game has its flaws, he feels it succeeds in establishing +[2361.22 --> 2364.28] a brand and promise for the future. +[2364.44 --> 2366.86] That's an awkward way to do that. +[2367.98 --> 2369.56] It's flawed, but... +[2369.56 --> 2370.46] I'll let you talk now. +[2370.60 --> 2372.08] I'm taking off the dead to me thing. +[2372.16 --> 2372.88] Aw, yay. +[2373.26 --> 2373.44] Okay. +[2373.56 --> 2373.88] You can... +[2373.88 --> 2376.78] So it's flawed, but you know, we believe in it. +[2376.86 --> 2377.54] It'll be okay. +[2377.72 --> 2378.00] Well... +[2378.00 --> 2381.54] Hopefully we won't completely screw it up next time and then you guys will hopefully like +[2381.54 --> 2381.68] it. +[2381.68 --> 2384.90] Or we'll just say this and you'll buy it and then we'll just keep moving on anyways because +[2384.90 --> 2385.40] we're Ubisoft. +[2385.40 --> 2386.74] They did make a good point. +[2387.10 --> 2391.46] They brought up that Assassin's Creed 1 had a lot of complaints about it and was hardly +[2391.46 --> 2391.98] a perfect game. +[2391.98 --> 2395.86] That's because they gave it like no budget and cut it off early so they didn't have time +[2395.86 --> 2397.24] to develop missions for the rest of the game. +[2397.32 --> 2399.50] So they just reused missions from previous parts of the game. +[2399.52 --> 2402.90] But the point was that Assassin's Creed 2 sold just fine. +[2403.34 --> 2405.60] In spite of the complaints about Assassin's Creed 1. +[2406.16 --> 2406.56] Sold. +[2406.56 --> 2407.56] Sold. +[2407.56 --> 2408.56] Sold. +[2408.56 --> 2409.48] It was a great game. +[2409.56 --> 2410.52] I loved Assassin's Creed 2. +[2410.60 --> 2411.16] It was really good. +[2411.68 --> 2412.56] But yeah. +[2413.36 --> 2418.80] And there was very valid complaints about Assassin's Creed 1 which I also liked because you did +[2418.80 --> 2422.04] like the first three missions and you just basically repeated that for the entire rest +[2422.04 --> 2422.38] of the game. +[2422.98 --> 2423.70] So I don't know. +[2423.80 --> 2427.24] If they do the same thing that would be fantastic because that means the next Watch Dogs +[2427.24 --> 2427.94] would be really good. +[2428.08 --> 2429.18] Assassin's Creed 2 was great. +[2429.50 --> 2434.74] But I don't know because it did look like Watch Dogs got a much larger budget than Assassin's +[2434.74 --> 2435.28] Creed 1. +[2435.42 --> 2435.90] Oh yeah it did. +[2435.90 --> 2437.90] And that was the main problem with Assassin's Creed 1. +[2438.00 --> 2439.70] It was the fact that they ran out of budget. +[2440.10 --> 2444.76] But I mean the way that the statement was phrased I think is pretty good. +[2444.94 --> 2447.62] Where basically he says okay there are flaws. +[2447.62 --> 2448.74] They're admitting flaws which is good. +[2448.88 --> 2452.26] You know we want to tackle those flaws and surprise players. +[2452.78 --> 2458.52] We need to be careful not to change the things people liked and address the things that they +[2458.52 --> 2459.64] didn't like. +[2459.96 --> 2464.58] And hopefully you know particularly from a PC gamer's perspective that's going to happen +[2464.58 --> 2469.12] right starting at the beginning of the development process when the PC gets treated like a priority +[2469.12 --> 2471.46] as opposed to not even an afterthought. +[2471.54 --> 2472.80] You can't even call it an afterthought. +[2472.88 --> 2473.96] That's what's terrible about it. +[2474.10 --> 2474.26] Yeah. +[2474.38 --> 2477.74] It was with forethought and malice allegedly. +[2477.74 --> 2479.62] That they nerfed it. +[2479.96 --> 2481.78] So hopefully we won't see that happen again. +[2481.88 --> 2483.74] And Watch Dogs 2 will be... +[2484.36 --> 2489.54] The only thing that scares me about this is that we've had Ubisoft tote rah rah we're going +[2489.54 --> 2494.22] to make it better in front of us before and then just completely ignore it when the time +[2494.22 --> 2495.16] for action came to be. +[2495.46 --> 2495.80] I know. +[2495.80 --> 2497.30] So this is great. +[2497.48 --> 2499.78] I hope it happens but I'm not... +[2499.78 --> 2501.28] I wouldn't throw any bets in this corner. +[2501.30 --> 2502.42] Things can change though. +[2502.56 --> 2506.12] I mean I think I brought this up on WAN Show before so I won't talk about it for too long +[2506.12 --> 2513.44] but talking to the DirectX lead at Microsoft when he showed up at the NVIDIA event he was like +[2513.44 --> 2515.10] yeah we have a different culture now. +[2515.54 --> 2521.14] You know like I'm encouraged to be out here talking to journalists and engaging with the community +[2521.14 --> 2524.56] about the direction of Direct3D when before it was... +[2524.56 --> 2525.18] Very close-knit. +[2525.72 --> 2527.06] ...much more cloistered. +[2527.16 --> 2527.32] Yeah. +[2527.54 --> 2529.40] And so I don't know. +[2529.58 --> 2530.14] I basically... +[2530.72 --> 2532.22] Because I kind of grilled him a little bit. +[2532.68 --> 2536.14] Some things that I knew he wouldn't know but I just wanted to kind of... +[2536.86 --> 2538.80] Someone who might have some influence there. +[2538.92 --> 2540.90] Let's just beat him up while he's down. +[2541.00 --> 2545.68] And I kind of went man why didn't Halo 1 get multiplayer co-op? +[2546.08 --> 2548.54] And he was like I legitimately don't know that. +[2548.54 --> 2553.46] And I'm like man why do they keep recommitting to us and then doing this and doing that. +[2553.46 --> 2555.28] Why isn't Master Chief Edition not coming to PC? +[2555.44 --> 2556.52] What the hell is that? +[2556.56 --> 2559.38] So I basically just went man does Microsoft even care? +[2559.86 --> 2563.10] And all he could really say was Microsoft is changing. +[2563.72 --> 2566.14] And he spoke very earnestly about it. +[2566.34 --> 2567.70] He seems like a great guy. +[2567.82 --> 2569.98] Mr. Nadella has been making a crazy amount of changes. +[2569.98 --> 2571.16] He's not a PR guy. +[2571.68 --> 2572.58] He's a technical guy. +[2572.64 --> 2573.48] He's a programmer. +[2573.60 --> 2574.28] Always cool. +[2574.28 --> 2577.10] So I don't expect him to give me a PR response. +[2577.22 --> 2582.10] But he seemed genuinely convinced that Microsoft is on a great track and cares about gamers. +[2582.32 --> 2586.08] And the other thing he said is that his team has always cared. +[2586.72 --> 2589.46] And has always cared about PC gaming. +[2589.46 --> 2593.64] From watching the very few amount of DX announcements and demos that you're able to watch. +[2593.72 --> 2595.96] Where those guys are up on stage allowed to talk. +[2596.28 --> 2597.76] They do seem like they care a lot. +[2597.78 --> 2599.28] Yeah and he was telling me there's guys on his team. +[2599.28 --> 2600.30] But there's very few amount of those. +[2600.30 --> 2603.54] Those you know $4,000, $5,000 gaming rigs at home. +[2603.66 --> 2606.88] Like these are PC gaming enthusiasts. +[2606.88 --> 2607.98] At least some of them. +[2608.04 --> 2611.70] And he kind of went you know yeah we're optimistic. +[2612.28 --> 2613.42] You know we believe in the future. +[2613.54 --> 2614.90] So who knows. +[2615.06 --> 2618.64] Maybe Ubisoft who hasn't gotten a new CEO. +[2620.50 --> 2622.36] Or really changed at all. +[2625.94 --> 2627.54] Hopefully they do those things. +[2627.54 --> 2630.36] So speaking of changes. +[2630.54 --> 2630.94] Oh damn. +[2631.84 --> 2632.56] Corsair. +[2633.54 --> 2637.76] Changed the branding on their gaming peripherals. +[2637.90 --> 2640.64] And we might have all collectively freaked out a little bit too much. +[2641.04 --> 2641.48] Probably. +[2641.66 --> 2643.82] But let's just go through the saga here. +[2644.04 --> 2647.80] So here's this video they made with like some soldiers. +[2647.96 --> 2649.46] This is I think just the outro for it. +[2649.68 --> 2650.56] Like have you watched the video? +[2650.78 --> 2651.28] No actually. +[2651.32 --> 2652.12] It's pretty over the top. +[2652.20 --> 2653.88] The production values are like pretty good. +[2654.62 --> 2656.52] Like I have no idea how much that cost. +[2656.52 --> 2659.12] Just looking at that animation. +[2659.92 --> 2660.08] Yeah. +[2660.38 --> 2664.38] So they released a new brand for their gaming products. +[2664.60 --> 2666.40] Oh I'm not logged in so that's not working. +[2666.54 --> 2666.92] Winner. +[2667.40 --> 2668.30] Everything is broken. +[2668.48 --> 2669.42] Everything is broken. +[2670.88 --> 2672.12] Something something something. +[2672.42 --> 2673.00] Something something. +[2673.38 --> 2674.48] Everything is broken. +[2674.48 --> 2675.56] All right. +[2675.56 --> 2679.66] So they redid their Vengeance branding. +[2679.80 --> 2684.82] The old sort of yellow Vengeance logo that we would find on older Corsair gaming products. +[2684.90 --> 2688.68] I used to have a keyboard in here but I took it out of here for a B-roll or something so I don't have it at the moment. +[2689.24 --> 2690.84] And then they redid it. +[2690.84 --> 2703.96] So instead of having the Corsair sales and then Vengeance as kind of a separate sub brand they created this kind of two cross blade thing that ends up looking kind of like a tribal tattoo that would belong on the small of your back. +[2704.18 --> 2708.34] Or like a Klingon Batleth with a little heart in the middle of it. +[2708.34 --> 2712.52] Like there isn't there aren't really many great ways to to look at it. +[2712.60 --> 2714.82] I saw a crazy crab holding swords with a heart on his head. +[2715.60 --> 2715.90] Yeah. +[2716.32 --> 2716.62] Yeah. +[2716.72 --> 2718.42] That's that's another that's another way. +[2718.62 --> 2720.94] Bad people suggest that it's kind of like a crab-a-rang. +[2721.68 --> 2722.08] Yeah. +[2722.18 --> 2723.24] So it's a bat-a-rang but. +[2723.96 --> 2724.88] But it's a crab. +[2725.20 --> 2725.90] That's funny. +[2727.26 --> 2728.56] There should be there should be Crab Man. +[2730.68 --> 2731.16] Yeah. +[2731.46 --> 2732.84] That would actually make a great. +[2732.98 --> 2736.52] One extremely strong arm and one really not strong one. +[2736.52 --> 2739.24] That would make a tremendous like Cartoon Network show. +[2739.64 --> 2742.44] It's like Crab Man and he's just always like an ass to everyone. +[2744.18 --> 2745.66] I'll save you but I won't like it. +[2745.94 --> 2746.14] Yeah. +[2746.26 --> 2746.42] Yeah. +[2746.58 --> 2746.74] Yeah. +[2746.74 --> 2746.84] Yeah. +[2746.84 --> 2746.98] Yeah. +[2747.24 --> 2747.52] Anyway. +[2748.30 --> 2750.32] So they they took away the sales. +[2750.52 --> 2755.06] They they took away Corsair Vengeance sub brand and now it's all unified under Corsair gaming. +[2755.24 --> 2760.32] They made a big hubbub about this which I actually wonder if ended up working against them. +[2760.52 --> 2762.92] They had press releases PR statements. +[2763.08 --> 2764.42] They redid all their packaging. +[2764.42 --> 2771.28] They took new products like the RGB series keyboards and packaged them with this new Corsair gaming brand. +[2771.54 --> 2775.20] They took existing products like their 1500 headset and 1300 headset. +[2775.40 --> 2778.96] We actually have a bunch of them in the hallway and they repackaged them under the new branding. +[2779.10 --> 2780.86] Redid the industrial design on the products. +[2780.96 --> 2783.98] Like this was not a cheap initiative. +[2784.20 --> 2784.36] No. +[2784.50 --> 2788.18] For Corsair to undergo this rebranding process. +[2788.18 --> 2791.46] And then the community freaked out. +[2791.62 --> 2795.94] There was a change.org petition which I really feel like was a little over the top. +[2796.04 --> 2796.96] I mean change.org. +[2797.10 --> 2799.78] I think most change.org petitions are a little bit over the top. +[2799.82 --> 2800.00] Okay. +[2800.08 --> 2800.48] Fair enough. +[2801.38 --> 2802.64] PC Master Race. +[2802.64 --> 2805.34] The subreddit was explosive. +[2805.96 --> 2811.00] The threads on Linus Tech Tips are many, many, many posts long discussing this. +[2811.00 --> 2819.20] And I think that basically all there really is to say about it is I don't really like the logo either. +[2819.36 --> 2819.68] Me neither. +[2819.82 --> 2821.24] I released a video about it last night. +[2821.30 --> 2822.04] I don't think it's great. +[2822.04 --> 2827.72] But something that I actually didn't realize until I was talking to someone at Corsair about the video we made last night. +[2827.92 --> 2829.32] Where it's kind of a troll video. +[2829.46 --> 2832.64] We show how to mod your keyboard and take the logo off and put something else on. +[2832.94 --> 2837.04] I was talking to someone from Corsair and I kind of went yeah realistically I think everyone's going to forget. +[2837.30 --> 2843.94] Because it only takes this conversation we're having now for me to remember how much I hated the Vengeance logo. +[2844.50 --> 2845.40] When I first saw it. +[2845.70 --> 2846.44] And I still hate it. +[2846.48 --> 2847.12] I think it's horrible. +[2847.60 --> 2848.58] I think that font. +[2848.80 --> 2850.62] I think the bright yellow was never good. +[2850.62 --> 2852.74] And that's something people are forgetting as well. +[2852.84 --> 2854.70] They're upset about the yellow in the gaming logo. +[2854.92 --> 2856.26] Vengeance was already yellow branding. +[2857.20 --> 2860.38] That said they didn't put Vengeance on the product. +[2861.76 --> 2863.22] It was mostly on the box. +[2863.24 --> 2863.82] Yeah that's true. +[2863.98 --> 2864.74] Which helps a lot. +[2864.82 --> 2867.80] But I'm just saying I think that people will kind of forget about it eventually. +[2868.26 --> 2868.98] And who knows maybe. +[2869.34 --> 2871.46] I mean Vengeance was only with us a few years. +[2871.56 --> 2874.14] Who knows maybe they'll rebrand it again at some point. +[2874.48 --> 2877.32] But I think that this was very much an overreaction. +[2877.32 --> 2881.08] I think Corsair responded to it in the best way that they possibly could. +[2881.68 --> 2882.54] With Yellow Beard's post. +[2882.78 --> 2883.80] Yellow Beard's post. +[2884.28 --> 2888.32] So K70 RGB keyboards with red switches. +[2888.50 --> 2891.70] Cherry MX red switches that already had the original logo. +[2891.94 --> 2894.38] Will continue to exist for some time. +[2894.52 --> 2897.84] So people who really want the original logo on their keyboard can get it. +[2898.38 --> 2900.98] And then the other ones will have the Corsair gaming logo. +[2900.98 --> 2902.60] So if you want blue or brown switches. +[2902.86 --> 2904.28] A K65 or a K95. +[2904.54 --> 2906.44] The 10 keyless and the one with macro keys. +[2906.70 --> 2908.52] Then you'll have to have the new logo. +[2908.72 --> 2910.56] And honestly if you do really hate it. +[2910.94 --> 2913.60] The guide line I've posted is actually not even that bad. +[2913.74 --> 2915.28] Just get a flathead screwdriver and take it off. +[2915.64 --> 2917.84] Like you can get rid of that glue residue pretty easily. +[2918.14 --> 2919.66] And you can put like a cool deco there or something. +[2919.82 --> 2920.88] Yeah put a cool deco. +[2920.98 --> 2921.88] Fill it up with Plasti Dip. +[2922.16 --> 2922.76] Do something. +[2923.02 --> 2924.46] Like it's not that hard to fix. +[2924.98 --> 2925.18] Yeah. +[2925.40 --> 2927.02] So I'm actually amazed. +[2927.12 --> 2928.78] They got over 7,000 signatures. +[2928.78 --> 2930.24] I'm going to keep the old logo petition. +[2932.74 --> 2933.72] Oh man. +[2933.86 --> 2934.16] Yeah. +[2935.14 --> 2937.92] So we want to do like interesting topic or like. +[2938.12 --> 2938.48] Yeah. +[2938.68 --> 2939.92] Let's go with interesting topic. +[2939.92 --> 2940.36] Okay cool. +[2940.66 --> 2941.02] All right. +[2941.14 --> 2944.30] So we just got 14 nanometer. +[2944.78 --> 2947.78] So Intel is just now releasing products. +[2947.86 --> 2948.22] What is it? +[2948.28 --> 2949.02] Core M? +[2949.78 --> 2950.46] Or whatever it is. +[2950.60 --> 2950.90] Yeah. +[2951.04 --> 2951.98] The mobile one? +[2952.02 --> 2952.12] Yeah. +[2952.18 --> 2952.66] Broadwell Y. +[2952.80 --> 2952.96] Yeah. +[2953.14 --> 2953.36] Yeah. +[2953.36 --> 2956.32] So these like super super low power. +[2956.32 --> 2964.40] We're talking Core i5 dual core class processors with beefy dedicated graphics in like fanless +[2964.40 --> 2964.92] tablets. +[2965.72 --> 2966.76] Like pretty cool stuff. +[2966.84 --> 2967.82] We just got those. +[2968.28 --> 2973.04] And now in the news Intel's planning to spend another 6 billion. +[2973.26 --> 2976.32] This time on a 10 nanometer fab. +[2976.32 --> 2980.94] Every single time they go down in manufacturing process everyone's like oh this is it. +[2981.04 --> 2982.00] They can't go any further. +[2982.52 --> 2984.12] There's no way technology can advance. +[2984.24 --> 2985.50] We've hit the end boys. +[2985.76 --> 2987.70] This is as far as we can go. +[2987.90 --> 2988.60] And then a couple months later. +[2988.62 --> 2989.14] War's law is dead. +[2989.20 --> 2989.42] Yeah. +[2989.56 --> 2989.70] Yeah. +[2989.88 --> 2990.54] A couple months later. +[2990.68 --> 2991.78] New manufacturing plant. +[2991.94 --> 2994.42] Billions of dollars have been spent and they're going to make smaller ones. +[2994.52 --> 2995.22] It's like okay. +[2995.52 --> 2995.74] Cool. +[2995.92 --> 2999.32] So this was posted by Jericho on the forum. +[2999.32 --> 3006.16] You know it's funny along the lines of what you were just saying I remember my SSD Folsom +[3006.16 --> 3007.00] campus tour. +[3007.32 --> 3007.40] Yeah. +[3007.56 --> 3009.44] When I got to visit Intel that one time. +[3010.38 --> 3015.42] And I remember walking into a room where they basically said don't take any pictures +[3015.42 --> 3016.36] or film anything in here. +[3016.42 --> 3017.02] And I kind of went why? +[3017.74 --> 3024.66] And it turned out that the whiteboard and like the drawings on it were and I think it's +[3024.66 --> 3025.42] late enough now. +[3025.52 --> 3025.62] Yeah. +[3025.76 --> 3027.22] 3D NAND is here. +[3027.34 --> 3028.52] 3D transistors are here. +[3028.52 --> 3031.48] But that was like the plan for 3D. +[3032.32 --> 3032.52] You know. +[3032.62 --> 3033.62] And I was like really? +[3034.58 --> 3035.34] That's cool. +[3035.64 --> 3037.76] It's like internal like drawings on a whiteboard. +[3037.84 --> 3038.92] I was like that is so cool. +[3039.06 --> 3039.18] Yeah. +[3039.34 --> 3040.66] I'm geeking out right now. +[3040.82 --> 3042.10] I don't understand any of it. +[3042.56 --> 3043.86] But it's still awesome. +[3044.00 --> 3045.42] But it's still friggin cool. +[3045.60 --> 3045.74] Yeah. +[3045.88 --> 3048.76] And I remember asking them questions in my interviews. +[3049.52 --> 3051.48] You know we keep hearing about the end of Moore's law. +[3051.86 --> 3055.86] We keep hearing about how Flash isn't going to continue to get higher density or whatever +[3055.86 --> 3056.28] else. +[3056.28 --> 3064.06] And I think if you look at sort of a short term past sort of if you take a short term past +[3064.06 --> 3065.66] chunk it might look that way. +[3065.66 --> 3068.88] I mean the iPhone 6. +[3069.08 --> 3070.10] If you look at devices. +[3070.30 --> 3070.70] If you look at. +[3070.82 --> 3072.40] Still comes in 16 gigs. +[3072.48 --> 3076.90] If you look at solid state storage on its own though it is getting massively larger. +[3077.34 --> 3077.92] It is. +[3077.92 --> 3081.80] But looking at phones and devices and stuff like that. +[3082.04 --> 3082.16] No. +[3082.52 --> 3085.84] But to go back to the kind of growth we were seeing before. +[3086.24 --> 3086.42] Yeah. +[3086.52 --> 3087.84] I think we're going to have to wait a little bit. +[3088.14 --> 3089.62] Because that's about to happen again. +[3090.12 --> 3093.88] We look at what they're capable of doing with DDR4 for example. +[3094.06 --> 3096.48] With some of the new die stacking technologies. +[3096.48 --> 3100.66] You look at what Samsung is doing with their new 3D NAND. +[3100.82 --> 3106.04] Where they're taking instead of having you know 20 nanometer class NAND that's spread +[3106.04 --> 3107.22] out horizontally. +[3107.54 --> 3113.42] They're stacking 40 nanometer class NAND to get the same capacities and better reliability +[3113.42 --> 3116.58] and better speeds with about the same raw material. +[3116.58 --> 3118.20] So they take that technology. +[3118.34 --> 3119.16] They shrink that down. +[3119.34 --> 3119.66] Whoa. +[3119.96 --> 3122.08] Capacities are not done yet. +[3122.14 --> 3127.28] Every time that we feel like we hit some sort of wall someone goes oh hey if we climb +[3127.28 --> 3129.38] it in this really weird way we can keep going. +[3129.54 --> 3131.14] That happens like every single time. +[3131.34 --> 3132.20] It'll make no sense. +[3132.36 --> 3133.64] Then someone will come up with an alternative. +[3133.92 --> 3135.80] It will make tons of sense and we will keep on going. +[3135.94 --> 3137.66] And it's Intel almost every time. +[3138.10 --> 3142.92] It's funny because I got called out on our fastest possible about process technologies +[3142.92 --> 3149.14] manufacturing processes for like favoring Intel or like fanboying over Intel because +[3149.14 --> 3156.66] I brought up basically I alluded to their TikTok their TikTok development process and I also +[3156.66 --> 3158.48] I don't know what's going on with my computer. +[3158.48 --> 3158.76] Okay. +[3158.96 --> 3165.34] And I also brought up the Core M as my example of 14 nanometer processor but I went back and +[3165.34 --> 3166.08] looked into it. +[3166.40 --> 3171.36] Intel has been first to every process node over like the last 20 years. +[3171.36 --> 3174.10] And they hit a new one like every two years. +[3174.40 --> 3177.14] That's not a real point of debate. +[3177.40 --> 3177.54] Yeah. +[3177.62 --> 3178.84] It's just a thing. +[3179.14 --> 3182.46] You can debate different like processors at different price skews and all that kind of +[3182.46 --> 3182.74] stuff. +[3182.76 --> 3183.22] Different architectures. +[3183.24 --> 3184.04] Different architectures. +[3184.32 --> 3185.06] Optimize for gaming. +[3185.34 --> 3185.50] Yeah. +[3185.50 --> 3186.30] Optimize for tablet. +[3186.44 --> 3186.58] Yeah. +[3186.64 --> 3188.30] You can definitely debate all that kind of stuff. +[3189.30 --> 3189.74] Manufacturing. +[3189.84 --> 3193.20] They developed this thing at this date and then that's what happened. +[3193.56 --> 3194.46] There's I don't know. +[3194.64 --> 3195.96] There's facts. +[3196.78 --> 3198.70] Posted by Red Round 2 on the forum. +[3198.84 --> 3200.46] The original article from Anantek. +[3200.46 --> 3204.00] We actually alluded to this just a moment ago. +[3204.20 --> 3209.84] But the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are benchmark monsters. +[3210.44 --> 3211.76] So there you go. +[3211.88 --> 3218.98] There's the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, the 5S, Shield tablet, Windows phone. +[3219.48 --> 3222.42] Are we going to find an Android device that doesn't have a Tegra K1 in it? +[3222.48 --> 3222.94] Here we go. +[3223.84 --> 3224.50] Oh boy. +[3224.50 --> 3224.56] Okay. +[3224.86 --> 3230.88] So they are wrecking machines and they don't do that well in every single benchmark, but +[3230.88 --> 3235.30] they are at or near the top of the charts pretty much across the board. +[3235.68 --> 3235.98] So... +[3235.98 --> 3236.00] Yay. +[3236.08 --> 3238.58] The newest phone does the best things. +[3239.08 --> 3239.42] Yeah. +[3239.52 --> 3243.72] I was going to say, as exciting as this might be and as great as it is that we're getting +[3243.72 --> 3245.28] faster and faster mobile devices. +[3245.28 --> 3252.80] I think that the people who are disappointed in the iPhone 6 are the same people who were +[3252.80 --> 3258.76] disappointed in the Galaxy 5S, but just that happened to carry something with an Apple logo +[3258.76 --> 3261.66] in their pocket versus something with a Samsung logo in their pocket. +[3261.66 --> 3266.76] I think we're all getting disenchanted with smartphones all at the same time. +[3267.08 --> 3267.78] I am. +[3269.28 --> 3269.94] Like hardcore. +[3270.50 --> 3271.46] That's a thing. +[3271.68 --> 3272.62] I think... +[3272.62 --> 3277.78] We've talked about how phones are going through the same thing PCs did, but they're going through +[3277.78 --> 3283.14] the same thing PCs did over an extremely long period of time and they're surpassing where +[3283.14 --> 3287.14] PCs are at, but then not getting that thing where PCs kind of dwindled for a little while +[3287.14 --> 3288.16] and now we're awesome again. +[3288.16 --> 3291.94] I don't think they're really getting that and I don't know if they are going to. +[3292.18 --> 3292.32] No. +[3292.42 --> 3292.56] No. +[3292.60 --> 3297.44] The future for phones is definitely going to be in interface design and not in hardware, +[3297.76 --> 3299.62] at least over the next little while. +[3299.62 --> 3303.30] Software usability, HCI, which is called human-computer interaction. +[3303.48 --> 3307.98] So just like how you use your phone, like natural paper thing that Android's trying to +[3307.98 --> 3309.86] do, all that kind of stuff is going to be a really big deal. +[3310.26 --> 3310.48] Yep. +[3310.74 --> 3311.10] Fluidity. +[3311.50 --> 3312.30] And wearable devices. +[3312.52 --> 3314.32] I'm really disappointed in the Moto 360. +[3314.48 --> 3314.84] So am I. +[3314.88 --> 3316.00] Now that the reviews are out. +[3316.00 --> 3321.56] I actually walked into a Best Buy the morning of the launch, kind of not really thinking +[3321.56 --> 3321.90] about it. +[3321.96 --> 3326.06] I'd been napping in the car that was driving me from the airport to the NVIDIA event and +[3326.06 --> 3327.90] I walked in and I was like, holy crap, it's a Moto 360. +[3329.74 --> 3330.10] Interesting. +[3330.10 --> 3331.00] Do you have any? +[3331.10 --> 3332.40] And the guy at the till said yes. +[3332.90 --> 3336.76] So I just about bought one right there just so I could review it if nothing else. +[3336.76 --> 3342.72] And now I'm kind of glad I didn't because the thing that I was expecting it to disappoint +[3342.72 --> 3345.98] me with is exactly what it's disappointing everybody with. +[3346.32 --> 3346.88] Battery life. +[3346.94 --> 3347.10] Yeah. +[3347.60 --> 3348.82] But it didn't need to. +[3349.56 --> 3350.26] It just did. +[3351.20 --> 3352.72] What was the size of the processor? +[3352.86 --> 3353.50] 40 nanometer? +[3353.66 --> 3353.84] Yeah. +[3353.98 --> 3354.66] It's from 2010. +[3354.66 --> 3354.86] It's from 2010. +[3354.86 --> 3354.88] It's from 2010. +[3354.88 --> 3354.96] It's from 2010. +[3355.04 --> 3355.92] Like ancient chip. +[3355.92 --> 3356.48] What are you doing? +[3357.38 --> 3363.00] I mean, the issue though, and there could be a hundred reasons why they would have gone +[3363.00 --> 3363.86] with that processor. +[3364.32 --> 3365.68] There's also a hundred reasons not to. +[3365.70 --> 3370.04] There's a hundred reasons not to, but there's a hundred reasons why they might have had to. +[3370.18 --> 3370.34] Yeah. +[3370.90 --> 3379.30] But the cold hard truth is until we get dramatically better batteries, the only smartwatches that +[3379.30 --> 3383.28] will matter to me will be the ones with e-ink or Mirasol displays. +[3383.48 --> 3385.76] I don't want to charge my smartwatch every single day. +[3386.12 --> 3386.30] Yep. +[3386.46 --> 3389.12] I charge this every four days or so. +[3389.12 --> 3389.90] That's probably fine. +[3389.96 --> 3390.94] I would like seven. +[3391.34 --> 3392.36] I would like it to be a week. +[3392.48 --> 3393.94] Some people get a week out of the pebble. +[3394.30 --> 3395.56] I don't because I'm a heavy user. +[3395.56 --> 3395.74] Yeah. +[3395.96 --> 3396.04] Yeah. +[3396.46 --> 3401.48] But the main thing for me is when you're at that awkward dinner and you just want to +[3401.48 --> 3406.16] know how much longer you have to sit there across from that weird family member who you +[3406.16 --> 3410.48] only have to see once a quarter or so and you want to glance at your wrist, just freaking +[3410.48 --> 3411.52] know what time it is. +[3412.00 --> 3413.22] That's important to me. +[3413.22 --> 3417.46] It's not a time piece unless it does time well first. +[3418.46 --> 3419.12] That's true. +[3419.34 --> 3420.02] That's very true. +[3420.26 --> 3424.50] Luke pointed out to me a smartwatch that's coming that has a transparent display over +[3424.50 --> 3425.46] an analog watch face. +[3425.46 --> 3429.60] And this is something if you go back a whole bunch of WAN shows, like quite a few, that +[3429.60 --> 3434.36] was like they need to make an OLED panel that goes on top of a normal freaking watch and +[3434.36 --> 3437.70] can just turn on and give you notifications every once in a while so it can completely +[3437.70 --> 3441.38] go off and you can just see the normal watch face under it because that's what a lot of +[3441.38 --> 3445.48] people are going to watch, going to want because that is going to look super, super classy. +[3445.48 --> 3449.72] And a lot of people want their high end looking, very nice mechanical watches. +[3449.72 --> 3451.72] And apparently it has happened. +[3451.72 --> 3455.96] Speaking of wanting watches to look super, super classy. +[3455.96 --> 3457.96] Kind of, kind of funny story. +[3457.96 --> 3463.50] There are a lot of people who seem upset that Apple's iWatch or whatever they end up calling +[3463.50 --> 3464.50] it. +[3464.50 --> 3465.50] Apple Watch, I guess. +[3465.50 --> 3468.96] So that Apple's watch is going to be expensive. +[3468.96 --> 3469.96] It's like, yeah. +[3469.96 --> 3470.96] How did you not see that coming? +[3470.96 --> 3471.96] How did you not see that coming? +[3471.96 --> 3472.96] How did you not see that coming? +[3472.96 --> 3483.96] Watches that literally have no justification for being expensive are expensive. +[3483.96 --> 3485.46] Watches are a fashion statement. +[3485.46 --> 3486.46] Fashion statements are expensive. +[3486.46 --> 3487.46] Yep. +[3487.46 --> 3492.50] Watches and Apple turned the phone into a fashion statement in a big way. +[3492.50 --> 3495.06] I mean, they weren't, they weren't the pioneer of it. +[3495.06 --> 3498.94] I mean, Motorola did a great job with the razor, but Apple turned the smart phone into a +[3498.94 --> 3502.88] smartphone into the ultimate phone fashion statement. +[3502.88 --> 3505.72] But watches, they don't even have to do any work. +[3505.72 --> 3511.40] People will already spend a thousand, like normal people who work normal jobs will spend +[3511.40 --> 3514.70] a thousand, two thousand, three thousand dollars on a watch. +[3514.70 --> 3515.70] That happens. +[3515.70 --> 3522.20] I know that technophiles who expect everything that they own to be broken down in terms of +[3522.20 --> 3525.60] the bomb cost, like the cost of the raw materials that went into it. +[3525.60 --> 3528.38] I know that we don't necessarily accept that. +[3528.38 --> 3533.32] And if you look at me, it's not like I'm, I'm someone who wears a thousand dollar watch. +[3533.32 --> 3535.16] I expect things to be practical. +[3535.16 --> 3538.94] I expect them to have an actual value and an actual cost associated with making them. +[3538.94 --> 3539.94] I do too. +[3539.94 --> 3541.44] But a lot of the world doesn't work that way. +[3541.44 --> 3542.44] No. +[3542.44 --> 3545.06] And Apple would be foolish not to leverage that. +[3545.06 --> 3548.88] And that's why I've been saying we need those mechanical OLED panel watches because those +[3548.88 --> 3550.94] are going to be crazy expensive. +[3550.94 --> 3552.68] And that's what a lot of people are going to want to buy. +[3552.68 --> 3553.94] I don't want one. +[3553.94 --> 3554.94] Way too expensive. +[3554.94 --> 3555.94] Yeah. +[3555.94 --> 3556.94] But that's what a lot of people are going to want. +[3556.94 --> 3560.00] I'd like to do a review of one, even if we can just get a loaner one for a little while. +[3560.00 --> 3561.00] But yeah. +[3561.00 --> 3568.62] Speaking of a review, I had a few people questioning my Instagram post earlier today where I showed +[3568.62 --> 3571.82] off my new $300 USB 3 cable. +[3573.82 --> 3575.20] I bought that thing. +[3576.30 --> 3576.90] What? +[3577.74 --> 3579.74] Well, I guess it'll be a review. +[3579.74 --> 3580.74] It'll be a review. +[3580.74 --> 3581.74] It'll be a review. +[3581.74 --> 3583.88] But there's a justification for it. +[3583.88 --> 3588.06] It's the coolest USB 3 cable that has ever existed. +[3588.06 --> 3592.04] The highest tech USB 3 cable that has ever existed. +[3592.04 --> 3594.60] And it is a fiber optic USB 3 cable. +[3594.60 --> 3595.60] Oh yeah, that one. +[3595.60 --> 3599.98] In fact, it doesn't even adhere to the USB 3.0 standard. +[3599.98 --> 3600.98] Nope. +[3600.98 --> 3604.90] There is no standard for a fiber optic USB 3 cable. +[3604.90 --> 3606.78] So the packaging is hilarious. +[3606.78 --> 3608.98] It says USB 3.0 optical. +[3608.98 --> 3613.36] So it's a 30 meter. +[3613.36 --> 3614.86] So it's literally 3.0. +[3614.86 --> 3615.86] Get it? +[3615.86 --> 3616.86] Yeah. +[3616.86 --> 3617.86] Get it? +[3617.86 --> 3618.86] Get it? +[3618.86 --> 3621.94] So this is a 100 foot USB 3 cable. +[3621.94 --> 3626.74] And I actually have a plan for something really cool that I'm going to do with it that I'll +[3626.74 --> 3628.26] show off to you guys. +[3628.26 --> 3635.20] And that I think will make some sense at least to people who appreciate minimalistic design. +[3635.20 --> 3636.42] So stay tuned for that. +[3636.42 --> 3637.42] There is a reason for it. +[3637.42 --> 3640.30] I haven't just completely lost my noggin. +[3640.30 --> 3641.30] All right. +[3641.30 --> 3643.30] Uh, AMD India. +[3643.30 --> 3646.30] Do you want to go through this one while I figure out what's going on with my internet +[3646.30 --> 3647.30] connection here? +[3647.30 --> 3648.30] Sure. +[3648.30 --> 3651.30] So that big announcement that everyone was talking about that was going to happen on September +[3651.30 --> 3652.30] 25th. +[3652.30 --> 3653.30] From AMD. +[3653.30 --> 3657.30] I'm like, oh my god, it's probably going to be a 390 or 390X. +[3657.30 --> 3657.62] Nope. +[3657.62 --> 3658.62] Nope. +[3658.62 --> 3659.12] Nope. +[3659.12 --> 3659.18] Nope. +[3659.18 --> 3659.62] Nope. +[3659.62 --> 3661.54] They're bringing some graphics cards to India. +[3662.18 --> 3664.60] Um, so I don't actually know what ones. +[3664.60 --> 3666.38] It looks like mainly workstation cards. +[3666.38 --> 3677.18] So they're bringing a AMD Fire Pro W8100 and AMD Fire Pro W9100 and GCN powered Radeon R9 285. +[3677.26 --> 3679.86] So they're bringing a 285 and then two workstation cards. +[3679.86 --> 3685.18] So yeah, that was that super exciting announcement that was going to happen on September 25th. +[3685.18 --> 3687.30] The 9100 does have 16 gigs of RAM. +[3687.38 --> 3688.26] That's pretty friggin' cool. +[3688.34 --> 3690.64] Speaking of RAM capacities continuing to grow. +[3690.92 --> 3691.24] Yeah. +[3691.24 --> 3694.98] But it's weird when they're blasting a big announcement to North Americans and Europeans +[3694.98 --> 3699.28] about, like if they blasted this in India, that makes tons of sense. +[3699.40 --> 3699.70] Yeah. +[3699.84 --> 3701.50] Because that is a big announcement in India. +[3701.66 --> 3704.20] I think it was, it seems a little unintentional. +[3704.28 --> 3706.96] To me, it looks a little bit like a miscommunication at AMD. +[3707.32 --> 3710.64] So like someone posted a big announcement, maybe even in India, and then it got pushed +[3710.64 --> 3710.94] everywhere? +[3711.10 --> 3711.26] Yeah. +[3711.44 --> 3714.36] Some, the press got a hold of the Indian announcement. +[3714.64 --> 3718.02] I think some individuals at AMD didn't really know what to do or what to say about it. +[3718.10 --> 3719.18] It felt like they had to say something. +[3719.18 --> 3722.26] Something and ended up. +[3723.10 --> 3726.18] They could have specifically said it's a big announcement for India. +[3726.70 --> 3728.44] Because it's pretty cool for India. +[3729.20 --> 3729.56] Right. +[3730.92 --> 3735.50] But it's a very tied down announcement, which makes sense, but it's still a very tied down +[3735.50 --> 3735.78] announcement. +[3735.90 --> 3737.38] So they could have clarified. +[3738.16 --> 3738.46] Right. +[3738.64 --> 3739.94] I don't think that would have been a problem. +[3740.58 --> 3742.32] Everyone started freaking out and then they could have been like, oh. +[3742.32 --> 3746.44] But you don't want to downplay it either and like make it seem like, yeah, our announcement's +[3746.44 --> 3747.24] lame, so. +[3747.52 --> 3748.40] But it's not lame. +[3748.54 --> 3748.98] No, it isn't. +[3748.98 --> 3750.08] It's just location tied. +[3750.20 --> 3750.98] I mean, okay, okay. +[3751.02 --> 3754.62] What they say about the 16 gig GPU is that it allows users, and I mean, this is pretty +[3754.62 --> 3758.20] cool, to multitask efficiently across six 4K displays. +[3758.76 --> 3759.40] That's pretty sick. +[3759.44 --> 3760.26] Is that not cool? +[3760.44 --> 3761.06] That is pretty sick. +[3761.10 --> 3762.60] Six DisplayPort 1.2. +[3762.64 --> 3764.78] I mean, the number of megapixels. +[3765.62 --> 3767.46] The sheer data rates involved with this. +[3767.50 --> 3768.24] It's very cool. +[3768.50 --> 3768.72] Yeah. +[3768.72 --> 3772.94] It's just gamers and sort of the internet in general aren't really going to care about +[3772.94 --> 3773.08] it. +[3773.32 --> 3773.54] Yeah. +[3773.66 --> 3778.84] So I think they should have checked their announcement a little bit. +[3778.94 --> 3780.08] It was a little bit overthrown. +[3781.08 --> 3781.68] All right. +[3781.68 --> 3785.40] DisplayPort will work through USB Type-C. +[3785.72 --> 3787.80] That is incredibly good news. +[3787.90 --> 3788.86] That's pretty freaking cool. +[3788.98 --> 3790.06] I'm actually pretty excited about that. +[3790.16 --> 3794.02] USB Type-C is looking like it's going to be badass. +[3794.02 --> 3796.30] I'm just really hoping that connector is solid. +[3796.52 --> 3797.32] I know. +[3798.12 --> 3799.48] It's the only thing I'm worried about. +[3799.62 --> 3802.48] I was talking to Ryan Smith from Anantek. +[3802.56 --> 3807.38] We were in the shuttle on the way back to the airport together, and we were talking about +[3807.38 --> 3810.16] USB Type-C, because they had an article about it. +[3810.30 --> 3812.62] They were hands-on with it, and I was like, did you see it? +[3812.62 --> 3813.08] Did you touch it? +[3813.12 --> 3814.06] He's like, no. +[3814.38 --> 3815.34] No, but I want to. +[3815.88 --> 3816.14] What? +[3816.64 --> 3818.44] Oh, so he specifically was like, okay, I got it. +[3818.44 --> 3818.98] Yeah, yeah. +[3819.08 --> 3821.18] No, someone else, one of their other writers. +[3821.18 --> 3826.00] So, we were just kind of speculating and talking about it a little bit. +[3826.06 --> 3830.36] We both agree that the Lightning connector is probably about as elegant as it gets for +[3830.36 --> 3837.54] a double-sided connector in terms of durability, but we both maintain hope that USB 3 Type-C will +[3837.54 --> 3838.90] be freaking awesome. +[3839.12 --> 3839.42] Hopefully. +[3839.64 --> 3843.64] So, just as a recap for you guys, if you haven't already watched our Fastest Possible +[3843.64 --> 3850.30] on USB Type-C, which is now outdated because it includes DisplayPort connectivity, it is validated +[3850.30 --> 3855.50] at up to super speed USB 3.1, so that's 10 gigabit per second, bringing it back within +[3855.50 --> 3857.96] sort of one leap of Thunderbolt. +[3858.94 --> 3863.54] It can deliver up to 100 watts of power over a single cable, so we're talking being able +[3863.54 --> 3866.38] to charge your laptop over USB. +[3867.06 --> 3869.92] You can charge your laptop, run a display off your laptop at the same time, because it +[3869.92 --> 3870.72] can go either direction. +[3871.00 --> 3871.68] Pretty awesome. +[3871.68 --> 3872.76] Yep, bi-directional. +[3873.10 --> 3880.44] It has alternate modes that support the use of existing HDMI, DVI, and VGA adapters now +[3880.44 --> 3883.02] that DisplayPort can be transmitted over it. +[3883.54 --> 3887.54] The DisplayPort over USB-C carries up to 8.1 gigabit per second per lane. +[3888.88 --> 3890.20] This looks so awesome. +[3890.20 --> 3895.18] So, when using all four lanes of the DisplayPort alt mode, you could drive a monitor at up to +[3895.18 --> 3896.40] 5K resolution. +[3897.22 --> 3897.90] That's pretty nice. +[3897.90 --> 3902.56] And up to 4K, excuse me, so with existing DisplayPort 1, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, +[3902.68 --> 3907.48] etc, support up to 4K desktop resolutions with 60 frame rates at up to 30-bit color. +[3907.66 --> 3907.80] Yeah. +[3908.06 --> 3911.48] So, 4K USB 3 Type-C is a thing. +[3912.02 --> 3913.02] Freaking awesome. +[3913.04 --> 3913.78] That's pretty sweet. +[3914.94 --> 3915.76] Pretty stoked. +[3915.76 --> 3924.30] We are almost out of time, and we need to do the giveaway, and we need to do sponsor spots, +[3924.48 --> 3928.02] and we need to do build blogs, and we probably need to do some other articles. +[3928.16 --> 3930.00] Okay, well, let's do our sponsors first. +[3930.12 --> 3934.02] Huge thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring the WAN show. +[3934.66 --> 3937.82] Yeah, they're taking a little while because they're looking for network resources, and +[3937.82 --> 3938.76] then grabbing the local one. +[3938.92 --> 3940.84] That's why the scene switching is taking a while. +[3941.02 --> 3942.04] That makes way more sense. +[3942.04 --> 3946.84] But if you had a Squarespace website, it wouldn't need to take a long time to load because Squarespace +[3946.84 --> 3949.36] ensures that your website will be functional. +[3949.64 --> 3951.02] It will be beautiful. +[3951.20 --> 3953.44] It will be affordable, and it will be scalable. +[3953.72 --> 3960.26] We use Squarespace for linusmediagroup.com, and I don't think we've ever maintained it ever. +[3961.24 --> 3961.68] No. +[3962.02 --> 3963.10] That's actually kind of a problem. +[3963.62 --> 3966.32] Yeah, we need to go back and update some of the stuff. +[3966.32 --> 3969.98] It still looks beautiful, and it's still entirely functional, but it doesn't have all of our +[3969.98 --> 3970.34] employees. +[3970.52 --> 3971.44] There's no headshots. +[3971.64 --> 3973.62] It doesn't include all of our shows, I don't think. +[3973.76 --> 3975.26] There's a lot of missing information. +[3976.02 --> 3977.66] Because I never even think about it. +[3977.70 --> 3978.46] It just works. +[3978.66 --> 3984.78] All the screenshots from our most bestest videos ever are the ones we made in the first couple +[3984.78 --> 3985.80] months of being a company. +[3986.20 --> 3986.82] I know. +[3987.06 --> 3989.08] So, guys, that's what Squarespace does. +[3989.08 --> 3995.16] It means that you can focus on maintaining your business in other ways that don't involve +[3995.16 --> 3997.90] micromanaging your freaking website. +[3997.90 --> 4002.64] Whether it's a blog, whether you have an online business where you sell something that, some +[4002.64 --> 4004.30] craft that you make, or a service. +[4004.70 --> 4009.20] Whether it's a portfolio, promoting, you know, if you're a wedding photographer or whatever +[4009.20 --> 4009.64] else. +[4009.98 --> 4011.74] Squarespace sites work on desktop. +[4011.96 --> 4012.78] They work on mobile. +[4012.78 --> 4015.44] And they make sure that you put your best foot forward. +[4015.56 --> 4020.76] They've also got other great tools, like their 24-7 tech support, as well as their logo creator. +[4021.16 --> 4025.86] So instead of, you know, hiring a graphic design firm just to try to get started, you +[4025.86 --> 4029.76] can at least create something that looks good that you can use temporarily and get on your +[4029.76 --> 4032.42] site and get up and running without hassle. +[4032.82 --> 4037.86] Also, if you visit squarespace.com slash Linus and use offer code Linus, you can save 10%. +[4037.86 --> 4044.00] And, of course, everyone who uses Squarespace gets a free trial, a free two-week trial. +[4044.44 --> 4051.48] I actually don't remember what Nick said about whether we are giving away a Squarespace. +[4052.24 --> 4053.26] I don't have internet. +[4053.88 --> 4054.06] Okay. +[4055.00 --> 4055.76] No, it's okay. +[4055.86 --> 4059.38] Well, if we don't, then we'll do two next time we have a Squarespace sponsorship. +[4059.70 --> 4065.86] But every month, we give a Squarespace site away to someone who has signed up for a trial. +[4066.00 --> 4067.50] So they win their site for a year. +[4067.86 --> 4071.20] So that's Squarespace's little way of being cool dudes. +[4071.28 --> 4072.20] This is pretty awesome, actually. +[4072.52 --> 4073.30] Thanks to Squarespace. +[4073.48 --> 4078.34] They've actually been, I think, our second longest sponsor after Audible. +[4078.98 --> 4079.30] Yeah. +[4079.44 --> 4080.88] They've been great supporters of it. +[4080.88 --> 4083.98] If you don't include how long we left Razor at the bottom of the stream for. +[4084.66 --> 4084.96] Yeah. +[4085.20 --> 4087.42] No, no, I don't mean long in terms of time period. +[4087.52 --> 4088.88] I mean going back the furthest. +[4088.88 --> 4089.40] Oh, yeah. +[4089.64 --> 4091.66] They were one of our first non-tech sponsors. +[4091.88 --> 4092.44] Yeah, yeah. +[4092.98 --> 4097.78] Also, lynda.com, a relatively new sponsor, but actually a fantastic one as well. +[4097.86 --> 4101.96] You can get a free trial by going to lynda.com slash WAN show right now. +[4102.28 --> 4103.36] And you've used lynda.com. +[4103.52 --> 4103.80] Yes. +[4104.02 --> 4107.50] I have used lynda.com for quite a while to learn just random stuff. +[4108.24 --> 4110.02] More specifically targeted things. +[4110.10 --> 4113.58] If I'm like, I need to know this thing about programming so I can do something with it. +[4113.64 --> 4115.04] I usually go to lynda.com for that. +[4115.36 --> 4117.10] My mom has used it for various things. +[4117.24 --> 4120.78] Taryn, one of our editors, has used it to learn how to edit, which is probably a good +[4120.78 --> 4122.44] thing if he has to edit. +[4122.76 --> 4124.90] I wonder if he's using it right now while he's not working. +[4124.90 --> 4127.46] I don't know. +[4127.54 --> 4128.26] I would think so. +[4128.46 --> 4128.68] Probably. +[4128.90 --> 4129.56] I mean, his wrist is hurt. +[4129.66 --> 4130.76] That doesn't mean your eyes are broken. +[4130.92 --> 4131.04] Yeah. +[4131.04 --> 4132.54] So you can still learn things on lynda.com. +[4132.56 --> 4135.12] Because not everything on lynda.com is just programming stuff. +[4135.30 --> 4137.64] They have tips for digital photography. +[4138.84 --> 4140.86] And they're all taught by experts. +[4141.02 --> 4143.62] So there's tons of different things that you can learn on lynda.com. +[4144.64 --> 4146.38] Plans start at $25 a month. +[4146.64 --> 4148.48] I don't think there's that much more to say about it. +[4148.48 --> 4151.12] Other than that, there's no real commitment, guys. +[4151.22 --> 4153.10] You can try it for seven days for free. +[4153.26 --> 4157.30] If you like it, if you feel like you're learning something useful, then keep on going. +[4157.38 --> 4159.10] And if you don't like it, then you don't have to. +[4159.24 --> 4164.76] But we've seen here at Linus Media Group alone that for at least two people, lynda.com +[4164.76 --> 4170.26] has provided some foundation for some skills that have turned into real employment opportunities, +[4170.26 --> 4176.02] which is, I think, one of the strongest things that we can say about any sponsor that we have. +[4176.02 --> 4179.64] One thing that I always say about it is if you're planning on going to post-secondary for programming, +[4180.02 --> 4182.98] start working on lynda.com right now and teach yourself before you go. +[4183.14 --> 4184.58] Because your grades will be much higher. +[4184.86 --> 4185.92] You'll find it a lot easier. +[4186.08 --> 4190.08] I find a lot of people the first semester they go to university for is kind of a mess +[4190.08 --> 4192.68] because they're getting used to no longer possibly being at home, +[4193.12 --> 4195.32] how school works in different ways now, +[4195.38 --> 4198.54] and possibly certain electives that are pretty difficult or weird that you haven't done before. +[4198.62 --> 4201.86] So if you can make your core courses easier, +[4201.98 --> 4204.18] which will be your programming courses if you're getting into programming, +[4204.74 --> 4205.94] that's invaluable. +[4206.50 --> 4210.20] All right, so thanks, lynda.com and Squarespace, for sponsoring the WAN show. +[4210.40 --> 4211.82] We appreciate your sponsorship. +[4212.04 --> 4214.02] I think our viewers appreciate your service. +[4214.38 --> 4216.66] And let's move on to our next topic then, shall we? +[4216.98 --> 4221.90] Blizzard cancels its next-gen MMO Titan after seven years of development. +[4222.34 --> 4226.16] Can you imagine having enough money as a company that you can work on something for seven years +[4226.16 --> 4228.40] and then just go, eh, it's not turning out the way we liked it? +[4228.44 --> 4230.70] Well, Valve trashed TF2. +[4231.26 --> 4234.58] TF2 was like almost done, and they're like, eh, no. +[4234.58 --> 4234.90] Yep. +[4235.00 --> 4238.22] And tossed the whole thing away, and then now they have what we have now, +[4238.30 --> 4239.74] which everyone kind of seems to love. +[4239.88 --> 4241.34] So they probably did the right thing. +[4241.62 --> 4243.24] And hopefully that's the same story with Blizzard. +[4243.70 --> 4247.48] Hopefully they just decided maybe this isn't the right direction after all, +[4247.60 --> 4248.70] and kind of pitched it. +[4248.80 --> 4251.52] Or maybe they're just refocusing on WoW. +[4251.64 --> 4252.92] That wouldn't even be too surprising. +[4253.92 --> 4257.96] World of Warcraft is getting a massive graphical update with Warlords of Draenor, +[4257.96 --> 4260.30] and a whole bunch of other stuff is happening. +[4260.64 --> 4261.30] So it could be just a refocus. +[4261.30 --> 4262.18] Should I try it again? +[4262.36 --> 4263.62] I haven't played since Vanilla. +[4265.94 --> 4266.76] You could. +[4267.18 --> 4271.82] We're probably going to have to, actually, yeah, seeing as how you did that, maybe not. +[4272.44 --> 4275.08] We're probably going to have to benchmark it when it comes out. +[4275.16 --> 4275.68] Right, yeah. +[4275.68 --> 4279.48] Because it'll be the biggest change in performance that that game has ever had since release. +[4280.50 --> 4281.10] That big? +[4281.46 --> 4283.92] Because they've done some significant updates before. +[4283.92 --> 4285.64] But I don't think they've had one nearly this big. +[4285.78 --> 4286.14] Interesting. +[4286.22 --> 4287.26] It's a pretty big graphical update. +[4287.34 --> 4289.04] They have definitely had graphical updates. +[4289.22 --> 4289.32] Yeah. +[4289.38 --> 4292.32] And one thing that they've done is they've just included more stuff. +[4292.58 --> 4292.80] Right. +[4293.12 --> 4296.64] So there's more things to load in general, especially with the new zones that came in with stuff like capitalism. +[4296.64 --> 4298.70] Especially if you have longer draw distances. +[4298.98 --> 4299.60] Longer draw distances. +[4300.08 --> 4304.64] So they've done a lot with it, but I think this is the most in terms of actual texture files. +[4304.64 --> 4307.30] Because the characters are being upgraded a lot. +[4307.70 --> 4308.82] Someone could correct me on that. +[4308.88 --> 4312.04] I could be wrong, but I believe it is the biggest one they've had so far. +[4312.04 --> 4318.34] So they're talking about it actually pretty openly for Blizzard, which is surprising. +[4318.80 --> 4323.04] But they went back to the drawing board last year, and now they're basically just saying, +[4323.14 --> 4326.70] well, we made WoW and we figured we knew how to make an MMO, but here we are. +[4326.78 --> 4328.58] We're looking at this and we're not finding the fun. +[4329.22 --> 4331.16] And if it's not fun, then what's the bloody point? +[4331.22 --> 4335.36] Basically, it's not the first time they've canceled a significant project that had a lot of hype around it. +[4335.36 --> 4335.44] Ghost. +[4335.44 --> 4335.66] Yeah. +[4335.90 --> 4339.70] StarCraft Ghost was supposed to be an FPS about ghosts. +[4339.70 --> 4341.64] I was pretty stoked for that actually. +[4341.72 --> 4342.20] Oh, different ghost. +[4342.36 --> 4345.48] That was one of the most games that I was most hyped about ever. +[4345.80 --> 4348.06] I mean, they just ripped it from reality. +[4348.72 --> 4349.22] That was unfortunate. +[4349.24 --> 4353.00] I mean, they had all that artwork of Kerrigan and like, that's going to be cool. +[4353.26 --> 4353.50] Nova. +[4353.86 --> 4354.54] So much for that. +[4354.98 --> 4355.42] All right. +[4355.46 --> 4359.14] So we'll do a few rapid fire topics before we get into... +[4359.14 --> 4360.34] We have build logs and the giveaway. +[4360.44 --> 4360.96] Yeah, I know. +[4360.96 --> 4365.44] The 12-inch MacBook Air is rumored to maybe have a USB Type-C port. +[4365.82 --> 4366.60] That would be very cool. +[4367.04 --> 4367.78] Very unexpected. +[4367.96 --> 4371.16] I would expect Apple to continue to support Thunderbolt exclusively. +[4371.54 --> 4375.48] Mind you, with how many of the rumors about the iPhone 6 were just completely out in la-la land, +[4375.92 --> 4377.70] I'd be surprised if this one's true. +[4378.00 --> 4378.06] Yeah. +[4378.22 --> 4381.88] Sleeping Dogs sequel Triad Wars is going to be PC exclusive. +[4381.88 --> 4384.22] Hopefully not as many bugs as there was in the console port. +[4385.04 --> 4388.10] LED SLI bridges have now been released. +[4388.10 --> 4392.22] So the ones used in the Mod24 rigs, that modding competition that we checked out, +[4392.46 --> 4398.28] and that have been seen before in like NVIDIA showcase builds for quite some time. +[4398.52 --> 4398.54] Yeah. +[4399.18 --> 4401.34] Here, we've got a shot of them here. +[4401.60 --> 4406.16] So those sexy metal SLI bridges that match the cards really well. +[4406.26 --> 4409.36] And they're also releasing two different spacings for a dual card. +[4409.64 --> 4410.84] Yes, I saw that. +[4411.36 --> 4414.54] So they're releasing like side-by-sides, especially if you have something like an MATX port, +[4414.60 --> 4415.52] you might want to have that. +[4415.52 --> 4419.38] And they're releasing the like empty space between the cards on it. +[4419.64 --> 4420.04] I love it. +[4420.10 --> 4425.32] They're only $30 for a two-way and $40 for a three-way model, which isn't that cheap. +[4425.68 --> 4429.42] But when you consider how much you've just already spent on your graphics cards, +[4429.48 --> 4430.82] I don't think it's that much of an adder. +[4431.08 --> 4431.22] Yeah. +[4431.94 --> 4432.38] Yeah. +[4432.66 --> 4433.06] Fantastic. +[4433.64 --> 4433.88] Yep. +[4435.88 --> 4438.76] Nintendo's quasi-quicentennial... +[4438.76 --> 4439.54] What the heck? +[4439.66 --> 4440.06] Oh, okay. +[4440.12 --> 4440.32] Whatever. +[4440.32 --> 4442.80] So they turned 125 on Tuesday. +[4443.90 --> 4448.00] For most of Nintendo's life, they produced cards, toys, and other random stuff, +[4448.12 --> 4452.34] and didn't transition to video games until actually the 1970s. +[4452.82 --> 4454.10] So pretty cool. +[4454.24 --> 4454.98] Way to go, Nintendo. +[4455.24 --> 4455.70] Happy birthday. +[4455.84 --> 4457.44] And they've been doing a lot of great stuff lately, actually. +[4457.52 --> 4459.54] They've totally turned around in the last little while. +[4459.90 --> 4463.20] Even looking at stuff like their DLC for Mario Kart that they're coming out with, +[4463.36 --> 4464.56] absolutely fantastic. +[4464.56 --> 4467.08] They're going to double the amount of tracks that there is. +[4467.22 --> 4467.48] Or no. +[4468.44 --> 4471.56] They're 150% the current amount. +[4471.80 --> 4473.38] So they're adding 50% the amount of tracks. +[4473.66 --> 4473.78] Nice. +[4473.78 --> 4475.54] A whole bunch more racers, a whole bunch of new cars, +[4475.76 --> 4478.72] and they're continuing down that line with DLC, and they're coming out with Smash. +[4478.84 --> 4481.60] You know what I like about what they did with Mario Kart? +[4481.72 --> 4484.82] Because there's the usual argument where, oh, well, it's DLC, +[4485.08 --> 4487.80] so you shouldn't have made us pay for it in the first place. +[4487.84 --> 4488.72] It should have been in the game. +[4488.72 --> 4494.32] They included exactly as many tracks as they normally do in a Mario Kart game. +[4494.42 --> 4495.92] So that complaint can just... +[4495.92 --> 4498.42] And that's a philosophy that's carrying into other games as well, +[4498.48 --> 4500.54] and they've publicly said that they're not going to change that. +[4500.64 --> 4502.80] Their golf game, I've never played any of their golf games, +[4502.88 --> 4506.54] but apparently they have a minimum for the amount of courses and holes +[4506.54 --> 4507.60] that will be in a golf game. +[4508.04 --> 4510.96] So every golf game Nintendo has released has had a minimum amount. +[4511.48 --> 4514.72] And in the new one, I think you get 100% more or... +[4514.72 --> 4515.70] Sorry. +[4516.62 --> 4518.94] I think it will be 50% more or 100% more. +[4518.98 --> 4519.72] I don't remember how many, +[4519.82 --> 4523.70] but there's a massive amount of holes and courses in the golf game. +[4523.86 --> 4525.24] Again, not really into that. +[4525.34 --> 4527.20] But people were freaking out about the DLC for that, +[4527.28 --> 4528.44] so I read up on it a little bit. +[4529.14 --> 4530.00] Pretty interesting. +[4530.70 --> 4534.60] I'm down with DLC, which is an actual expansion. +[4535.08 --> 4535.26] Yeah. +[4535.80 --> 4536.44] DLC... +[4536.44 --> 4537.92] Because that's what DLC should be. +[4538.04 --> 4539.14] DLC is not new. +[4539.14 --> 4539.58] No. +[4540.36 --> 4544.28] Warcraft 2 Beyond the Dark Portal would have been DLC. +[4544.72 --> 4545.64] If it was possible. +[4545.72 --> 4546.36] If it was possible. +[4546.60 --> 4547.08] Well, it kind of was. +[4547.26 --> 4549.20] And I'm totally okay with expansion packs. +[4549.26 --> 4549.94] I love expansion packs. +[4549.96 --> 4551.78] Age of Empires had DLC. +[4552.18 --> 4554.96] Frozen Throne was an amazing expansion pack for Warcraft 3. +[4555.04 --> 4555.46] That's right. +[4555.68 --> 4556.50] Like, super good. +[4556.56 --> 4561.50] And if DLC legitimately builds on what was already a freestanding game, +[4561.62 --> 4564.78] adds more units, adds new campaign, tweaks... +[4564.78 --> 4567.28] Actually, I'm not sure how I feel about tweaking balance, +[4567.56 --> 4568.72] unless you're adding new units, +[4568.72 --> 4570.00] but just... +[4570.00 --> 4572.80] If it enhances the game and gives... +[4572.80 --> 4573.26] Brood War. +[4573.36 --> 4576.64] Gives what originally had its own, you know, +[4576.70 --> 4578.24] I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, +[4578.42 --> 4580.58] gives it a whole other set of that, +[4580.96 --> 4582.08] then I feel pretty good about it. +[4582.14 --> 4582.26] Yeah. +[4582.32 --> 4582.94] I'm okay with that. +[4583.06 --> 4584.72] If it's like horse armor, then... +[4585.46 --> 4585.72] Yeah. +[4585.92 --> 4586.26] I don't know. +[4586.46 --> 4587.22] Well, I think... +[4587.22 --> 4588.38] Okay. +[4588.58 --> 4589.48] You could say that, +[4589.56 --> 4590.96] and they took a lot of flack for that, +[4590.96 --> 4595.88] but hasn't the entire DLC industry turned into horse armor? +[4596.52 --> 4596.88] Yeah. +[4597.28 --> 4598.04] And that's stupid. +[4598.16 --> 4599.18] But that's kind of our fault, +[4599.26 --> 4599.96] because people buy it. +[4600.00 --> 4600.60] I don't buy it, +[4600.64 --> 4601.56] but people buy it. +[4602.86 --> 4603.74] Just stop, +[4603.90 --> 4605.00] and then it'll go away, +[4605.18 --> 4607.02] because it won't be worth creating art assets +[4607.02 --> 4608.04] that people don't buy. +[4609.24 --> 4609.96] All right. +[4611.30 --> 4612.96] It's time... +[4612.96 --> 4613.92] Dun, dun, dun. +[4614.04 --> 4617.24] ...to do the million subscriber giveaway. +[4617.34 --> 4618.48] I don't even know if I can help you, +[4618.48 --> 4621.22] because my computer isn't going to be really getting internet. +[4621.62 --> 4622.06] Oh, hey! +[4622.10 --> 4622.46] It's working! +[4622.76 --> 4624.26] I'm on the other router. +[4624.84 --> 4625.70] I can help you. +[4626.44 --> 4627.04] All right. +[4627.16 --> 4628.58] So are we doing thatrandom.org, +[4628.62 --> 4629.90] or how is this happening? +[4629.92 --> 4631.74] Yeah, we're going to random.org this shiz. +[4632.32 --> 4633.08] So basically, +[4633.32 --> 4634.42] we are drawing the winners +[4634.42 --> 4636.86] for the custom-built gaming PC, +[4637.02 --> 4638.26] which I haven't gotten around to building yet, +[4638.30 --> 4638.64] but I will. +[4639.04 --> 4640.56] The custom-built gaming PC... +[4640.56 --> 4641.34] Isn't it mostly built already? +[4641.52 --> 4641.74] No. +[4642.74 --> 4643.50] I haven't even touched it. +[4644.18 --> 4645.78] The video card's on your bench. +[4645.90 --> 4646.90] I thought that was the Razer one. +[4647.16 --> 4647.34] No. +[4647.76 --> 4648.00] Oh. +[4648.00 --> 4649.00] No, that's been torn apart. +[4649.42 --> 4649.62] Oh. +[4649.90 --> 4650.56] I thought you were just, like, +[4650.62 --> 4651.52] rebuilding that up and then... +[4651.52 --> 4652.48] We can't ship that case. +[4652.56 --> 4654.02] It's, like, got scratches and crap on it. +[4654.14 --> 4654.48] Oh, yeah. +[4654.72 --> 4655.98] Yeah, it's an engineering sample. +[4656.12 --> 4656.58] Yeah, yeah. +[4656.64 --> 4656.82] Okay. +[4657.00 --> 4657.42] No, no. +[4657.46 --> 4658.24] We'll find a case. +[4658.30 --> 4658.88] We'll find a good one. +[4658.92 --> 4660.32] We have a garage full of cases. +[4661.06 --> 4661.78] So, okay. +[4662.02 --> 4663.54] So, custom gaming rig, +[4664.24 --> 4665.68] Microsoft Surface Pro 3, +[4665.82 --> 4667.70] the one that I bought to do my review, +[4667.80 --> 4669.34] and because I thought I might end up using it, +[4669.36 --> 4670.36] but I didn't really like it that much. +[4670.60 --> 4670.90] But you might. +[4671.82 --> 4672.18] And, +[4672.78 --> 4673.60] whatever our last... +[4673.60 --> 4674.46] Oh, what was our last prize? +[4674.50 --> 4674.96] I don't even remember. +[4674.96 --> 4675.64] Ah, yes. +[4675.88 --> 4679.46] We're redrawing the G550J from Highlander +[4679.46 --> 4681.90] because the person who won it never responded. +[4682.38 --> 4683.84] For, like, the third time, I think. +[4683.90 --> 4684.64] Bummer for them. +[4685.02 --> 4685.36] All right. +[4685.58 --> 4687.04] So, we're going to the thread. +[4687.14 --> 4688.30] We're going to draw it live. +[4688.30 --> 4690.12] One million subscribers. +[4690.32 --> 4691.08] Thank you all. +[4691.24 --> 4691.98] Oh, hold on a second. +[4692.18 --> 4692.86] I've got to sign out. +[4694.86 --> 4695.76] Do-do-do-do-do. +[4697.08 --> 4698.02] Back to here. +[4698.20 --> 4698.98] Signing out. +[4700.50 --> 4701.26] Scrolling down. +[4701.86 --> 4702.92] Control-F searching. +[4703.36 --> 4703.68] Wow. +[4703.74 --> 4704.12] Clicking. +[4704.40 --> 4706.22] You are the most helpful person ever today. +[4706.72 --> 4708.64] Viewing random forum thread. +[4708.64 --> 4709.90] You're back to being dead to me. +[4709.90 --> 4710.18] Hey! +[4710.54 --> 4711.78] Taking you back off my shirt. +[4711.78 --> 4715.68] All right. +[4715.94 --> 4721.44] So, the first two are going to go to the first two people who are randomly drawn. +[4721.80 --> 4729.82] The third one, we are going to keep drawing until we find someone who is a positively contributing member to the forum. +[4730.00 --> 4730.96] How are we judging that? +[4730.96 --> 4736.26] So, we're just going to kind of look at them, and if we know who they are, then they win. +[4736.64 --> 4737.66] This might be awkward. +[4737.90 --> 4738.20] I know. +[4738.44 --> 4739.14] We'll figure it out. +[4739.14 --> 4740.96] But maybe let's not say positively contributing. +[4741.18 --> 4742.18] Let's just say contributing. +[4742.42 --> 4742.68] Okay. +[4743.18 --> 4747.38] An actual member of the Linus Tech Tips forum that participates. +[4747.46 --> 4747.76] Is there a threshold for that? +[4748.48 --> 4749.62] Participatory member of the forum. +[4749.86 --> 4756.06] Why don't we say, just for the sake of making life a little bit easier for ourselves, why don't we say kind of... +[4756.06 --> 4757.10] Post count is sketchy. +[4757.10 --> 4757.26] No. +[4757.34 --> 4758.50] No, I don't want to use post count. +[4759.34 --> 4760.72] Post count doesn't matter at all. +[4760.72 --> 4767.96] But we'll kind of do a quick glance at their last few posts and make sure that they're actually trying to participate. +[4768.28 --> 4768.50] Okay. +[4768.60 --> 4774.52] And I'm not going to be looking at anyone who started participating right when the 1 million subscriber giveaway started, +[4774.52 --> 4782.54] because I said that that was going to be a requirement, and that I wanted it to be for people who have already participated without me offering them a laptop. +[4782.88 --> 4783.06] Yeah. +[4783.32 --> 4783.50] Yeah. +[4783.70 --> 4783.94] Okay. +[4784.22 --> 4784.58] All right. +[4784.72 --> 4785.70] So, let's do the first draw. +[4786.06 --> 4786.74] Random.org. +[4787.10 --> 4788.74] 1,119. +[4789.24 --> 4790.28] Oh, my goodness. +[4790.72 --> 4791.96] Min 1. +[4792.20 --> 4793.64] 1,119. +[4794.60 --> 4795.08] Generate. +[4795.60 --> 4799.58] So, now we are going to go to page 742 in the thread. +[4800.22 --> 4801.20] Click on that. +[4801.54 --> 4801.84] Which? +[4802.04 --> 4802.20] This? +[4802.20 --> 4802.96] Click on page 1. +[4803.02 --> 4803.52] You can do that? +[4803.62 --> 4803.82] Yeah. +[4804.10 --> 4804.38] And then just... +[4804.38 --> 4805.10] Oh, no way. +[4806.10 --> 4807.06] That is amazing. +[4807.62 --> 4808.06] All right. +[4809.42 --> 4810.32] Did you click go? +[4810.32 --> 4812.26] I mostly clicked go. +[4812.40 --> 4812.64] Okay. +[4812.72 --> 4814.04] I think it worked. +[4814.20 --> 4814.54] All right. +[4814.90 --> 4816.56] This is kind of a big thread. +[4816.76 --> 4818.60] I think everyone's looking at the forum. +[4818.88 --> 4819.20] Yeah. +[4819.32 --> 4824.08] And everyone's probably looking at the forum right now, because that will somehow affect their +[4824.08 --> 4825.86] chances of winning, I guess, or something. +[4826.86 --> 4828.60] They will be there with us. +[4828.60 --> 4829.60] Oh. +[4829.98 --> 4830.38] Oh. +[4832.78 --> 4833.18] Derped. +[4833.54 --> 4834.04] Refresh it. +[4834.38 --> 4834.50] Yeah. +[4834.84 --> 4835.30] Oh. +[4835.92 --> 4836.18] Okay. +[4836.22 --> 4836.78] What page was it? +[4838.22 --> 4838.46] 742. +[4839.88 --> 4841.16] Let's make sure I got that right. +[4841.82 --> 4842.16] Yes. +[4842.66 --> 4842.94] Whoops. +[4842.94 --> 4844.84] Yes. +[4845.56 --> 4848.04] I don't have a very good memory, especially when I'm sleep deprived. +[4849.10 --> 4850.82] Did you already have the thread loaded up? +[4851.18 --> 4851.54] Yeah. +[4851.64 --> 4852.30] Or did you load this? +[4852.42 --> 4852.80] Okay. +[4854.68 --> 4856.28] Everyone went to the forum. +[4857.36 --> 4859.42] The forum isn't hosted on Squarespace. +[4859.70 --> 4859.88] Yeah. +[4859.94 --> 4860.18] I know. +[4860.22 --> 4860.40] Right? +[4860.98 --> 4861.42] Okay. +[4861.42 --> 4861.50] Okay. +[4861.64 --> 4866.38] So I really wanted to do this live, but it looks like that is not going to happen. +[4866.50 --> 4867.00] I'm sorry. +[4867.22 --> 4872.24] We do like to do these draws live just so that you guys can trust us that we... +[4872.24 --> 4877.70] We can do a recorded video of it while the camera doesn't stop and we draw it there because +[4877.70 --> 4879.34] that would be way too much production time. +[4879.34 --> 4880.48] Where are we even going to release that? +[4881.32 --> 4885.18] I guess we can put it unlisted on the channel and link it in the WAN Show doc here or something. +[4885.24 --> 4886.12] It would be a fun video. +[4886.60 --> 4886.90] Oh. +[4886.96 --> 4888.64] I don't want to do a full video for that. +[4890.16 --> 4890.36] Okay. +[4890.40 --> 4891.52] We'll talk about it offline. +[4892.26 --> 4893.08] But okay. +[4893.38 --> 4895.86] So in that case, are you even able to do billboards then? +[4896.02 --> 4896.30] Yes. +[4896.36 --> 4897.06] I sent you an email. +[4897.50 --> 4898.06] All right. +[4898.20 --> 4898.30] Sweet. +[4898.30 --> 4900.36] Like right when the show started, so it should be pretty recent. +[4900.36 --> 4904.06] Do your LMG thing. +[4905.02 --> 4905.58] There we go. +[4905.64 --> 4906.04] All right. +[4906.10 --> 4906.62] Here we go. +[4906.74 --> 4907.38] Featured billboards. +[4907.70 --> 4909.50] There's four things, but you only need really two of them. +[4909.58 --> 4912.36] But if you download it, because you probably won't be able to view it in your browser, you +[4912.36 --> 4912.80] can try. +[4913.18 --> 4914.82] But I expect no. +[4916.30 --> 4919.56] So there was one choice by the community and there's one choice by the staff. +[4919.66 --> 4923.54] I don't know why that happened because I told them considering there were so many entries, +[4923.62 --> 4925.54] there should be like way more than one from each. +[4925.54 --> 4931.00] But apparently there's one from each, so we're doing one from each for now because I didn't +[4931.00 --> 4931.78] notice until today. +[4931.94 --> 4933.56] I probably should have checked, so that was my fault. +[4935.24 --> 4936.70] At least you owned your mistake. +[4936.84 --> 4937.04] Yep. +[4937.72 --> 4938.40] All right. +[4938.60 --> 4939.96] So slideshow. +[4940.06 --> 4943.78] So the first one is by Sage C, and this is Project N64. +[4944.04 --> 4946.80] I believe this one was the one chosen by the mods. +[4947.42 --> 4948.74] Why is that the slideshow? +[4948.90 --> 4949.90] What the heck is this? +[4950.82 --> 4951.14] What? +[4953.78 --> 4955.68] PowerPoint, why you do? +[4957.44 --> 4959.58] Why you do this, PowerPoint? +[4959.58 --> 4960.60] That is super derp. +[4960.74 --> 4961.76] That better not be the... +[4961.76 --> 4963.36] Is it like review slideshow? +[4963.68 --> 4965.18] From the beginning, it should be. +[4966.70 --> 4967.10] What? +[4967.52 --> 4968.26] What are you doing? +[4968.58 --> 4969.50] Display settings, maybe. +[4969.60 --> 4970.10] Here we go. +[4971.68 --> 4972.12] What? +[4972.78 --> 4974.50] Oh, that's like presenter view. +[4975.26 --> 4976.12] Okay, I get it. +[4976.76 --> 4977.04] Boop. +[4977.04 --> 4980.04] Um... +[4981.36 --> 4986.58] It's not... +[4986.58 --> 4987.50] It's not a... +[4987.50 --> 4987.84] What? +[4989.24 --> 4990.82] Oh, hold on a second. +[4992.28 --> 4992.80] Uh... +[4992.80 --> 4993.92] Wait, where did we get that? +[4993.92 --> 4994.50] Hold on one second. +[4994.58 --> 4995.70] We're learning how to use PowerPoint. +[4995.88 --> 4996.42] We'll be back. +[4996.94 --> 4997.26] Yeah. +[4997.38 --> 4998.04] Except we're not going anywhere. +[4998.36 --> 5000.84] No, I think they had the right one already. +[5001.62 --> 5002.34] No, they don't. +[5002.52 --> 5004.24] It shouldn't be an extended screen. +[5004.24 --> 5004.82] What are they looking at? +[5004.86 --> 5005.84] It's a duplicated screen. +[5005.84 --> 5006.86] Is it frozen? +[5007.98 --> 5009.06] No, I don't think so. +[5009.82 --> 5011.08] Try to open your start menu. +[5013.86 --> 5014.68] Maybe frozen. +[5015.34 --> 5016.08] Not frozen. +[5018.58 --> 5021.04] Oh, it's an extended display. +[5021.70 --> 5022.82] Why is it an extended display? +[5022.90 --> 5023.94] Why is it extended? +[5024.04 --> 5025.52] We're supposed to do duplicate displays. +[5025.56 --> 5026.40] What is it doing? +[5026.64 --> 5027.10] I don't know. +[5027.14 --> 5027.54] What is it? +[5027.70 --> 5028.10] High? +[5028.10 --> 5029.66] This is really weird. +[5029.76 --> 5033.10] So we're looking at a presenter view that is not... +[5033.10 --> 5035.32] Oh my goodness. +[5035.86 --> 5036.26] All right. +[5036.42 --> 5039.98] So let's just try previewing it from here. +[5040.16 --> 5042.64] This is why we don't make videos about Microsoft software. +[5043.32 --> 5044.58] What were they thinking? +[5044.58 --> 5045.74] About PowerPoint, I guess. +[5046.54 --> 5047.54] Who does make videos about... +[5047.54 --> 5049.96] Someone should make a video about PowerPoint because this is ridiculous. +[5049.96 --> 5050.72] That would be the most boring video. +[5050.82 --> 5052.40] They should present the video from PowerPoint. +[5052.76 --> 5055.50] They should just record their screen and have a PowerPoint presentation running. +[5055.50 --> 5059.78] I'm sure that people who use PowerPoint all the time... +[5059.78 --> 5061.86] Technically, I use PowerPoint all the time. +[5061.98 --> 5063.02] I just realized that. +[5063.02 --> 5063.38] Are laughing at us right now. +[5063.38 --> 5064.46] But I don't use this version. +[5065.06 --> 5066.30] So that's my defense. +[5066.40 --> 5070.02] I'm sure someone's laughing at us and I'm sure that they're right and we're idiots or whatever. +[5070.02 --> 5072.62] In the version that I use, it's like super duper easy. +[5074.80 --> 5075.32] Okay. +[5076.50 --> 5076.98] Yay. +[5077.80 --> 5078.26] All right. +[5078.64 --> 5079.26] Line of screen. +[5080.08 --> 5080.56] Nope. +[5080.76 --> 5082.06] What are we looking at? +[5082.26 --> 5083.12] I have no idea. +[5084.34 --> 5085.26] Not a clue. +[5085.50 --> 5088.68] What is this? +[5088.68 --> 5091.50] It's not showing your screen though because you just had a photo viewer up. +[5092.02 --> 5092.34] Yeah. +[5092.86 --> 5094.32] It's not updating or something. +[5094.84 --> 5095.18] Oh, okay. +[5095.18 --> 5096.46] That's why I said open your start menu. +[5096.62 --> 5097.82] Like it's not updating properly. +[5098.28 --> 5099.54] There's something else going on. +[5100.82 --> 5101.54] Because it's... +[5101.54 --> 5103.68] Yeah, when you open your start menu, it should have shown the start menu. +[5103.92 --> 5105.18] Yeah, it's not working. +[5105.18 --> 5106.34] Oh, okay. +[5106.50 --> 5108.34] Well, that explains a lot now then. +[5108.46 --> 5111.06] So let's see if... +[5111.06 --> 5113.48] Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in? +[5114.24 --> 5114.48] No. +[5114.48 --> 5115.22] No, not yet. +[5116.62 --> 5118.84] Let's just see if this does a thing. +[5119.60 --> 5121.32] Oh, well... +[5121.32 --> 5122.32] Okay, okay, okay. +[5122.52 --> 5123.04] New plan. +[5123.18 --> 5123.60] New plan. +[5124.74 --> 5125.72] Don't worry, you guys. +[5125.88 --> 5127.16] We're going to find a way to do this. +[5127.30 --> 5127.76] Oh, there you go. +[5127.78 --> 5128.14] That'll work. +[5128.14 --> 5130.32] I want to do build guides of the week. +[5130.48 --> 5130.92] Dang it. +[5131.08 --> 5131.32] Month. +[5131.76 --> 5132.76] Oh, hold on a second. +[5134.76 --> 5135.16] Oh... +[5135.16 --> 5136.08] Oh... +[5136.08 --> 5136.70] Oh... +[5136.70 --> 5137.74] Okay, okay. +[5137.84 --> 5139.10] We heard back from NVIDIA. +[5139.54 --> 5140.58] Just in time. +[5140.94 --> 5143.48] Well, actually, right around the time we were talking about it on the show. +[5144.02 --> 5144.48] It is... +[5144.48 --> 5144.94] We called it. +[5145.02 --> 5145.76] That's all I have to say. +[5145.76 --> 5150.22] It is not NVIDIA's intention to restrict support to GeForce PCs. +[5150.74 --> 5156.06] The reality is that the quickest path to releasing PC support was to release it through our existing +[5156.06 --> 5157.50] GeForce Experience software. +[5157.76 --> 5162.68] We are working on a plan to support non-GeForce PCs, but currently cannot commit to a time frame +[5162.68 --> 5163.28] for support. +[5163.78 --> 5164.28] All right. +[5164.84 --> 5165.82] Faith restored. +[5166.56 --> 5167.82] Because it made no sense. +[5167.94 --> 5170.80] Like, I didn't want to, like, go over it too hard, but it made no sense. +[5170.82 --> 5171.74] No, it made no sense. +[5172.08 --> 5175.66] But you were saying that there's something in GeForce Experience that it would have to +[5175.66 --> 5176.06] be tied to. +[5176.10 --> 5176.34] Well, no. +[5176.44 --> 5181.40] What I was saying was that maybe, like, I could understand why GeForce Experience might +[5181.40 --> 5181.96] be easier. +[5183.76 --> 5184.54] We can go back and watch. +[5184.54 --> 5185.68] You can watch the archive if you want. +[5185.80 --> 5185.96] Okay. +[5186.00 --> 5186.84] I never said that... +[5186.84 --> 5189.18] I said that the touchpad might not work or something. +[5189.22 --> 5190.54] Yeah, but that makes no sense. +[5190.82 --> 5191.14] Why not? +[5191.76 --> 5192.12] Who knows? +[5192.12 --> 5194.98] What does GeForce Experience do that would have anything to do with that? +[5195.02 --> 5195.54] Who knows? +[5195.66 --> 5199.98] The point is that as a controller, I couldn't see any reason why it wouldn't work. +[5200.04 --> 5201.76] So anyway, the point is... +[5201.76 --> 5202.38] That's still completely valid. +[5202.54 --> 5203.36] None of that happened. +[5203.60 --> 5205.08] They just rolled it out through GeForce Experience. +[5205.08 --> 5206.50] Right, which makes tons of sense. +[5206.52 --> 5208.88] Because that's a convenient way for them to roll driver updates out to people. +[5209.10 --> 5210.96] And it was really painless to get it working. +[5211.10 --> 5212.78] I just plugged it in and it worked, which is nice. +[5213.20 --> 5213.62] All right. +[5213.72 --> 5213.96] Yay. +[5214.06 --> 5215.00] Faith restored NVIDIA. +[5215.12 --> 5215.94] Good job, you guys. +[5218.08 --> 5221.26] Let's go ahead and go back to Luke's email here. +[5221.26 --> 5222.98] Which hopefully I can find. +[5223.30 --> 5224.42] I can't even see it. +[5224.80 --> 5225.90] I get too many emails. +[5226.98 --> 5227.44] Top one. +[5227.52 --> 5227.74] Top one. +[5227.82 --> 5228.08] Top one. +[5228.26 --> 5228.66] Top one. +[5228.74 --> 5229.22] There we go. +[5229.72 --> 5230.90] Future build logs. +[5232.62 --> 5233.32] The blue ones. +[5233.36 --> 5234.10] Why are there four? +[5234.10 --> 5234.56] The blue ones. +[5234.68 --> 5234.90] Okay. +[5234.90 --> 5237.54] My brain is exploding. +[5237.94 --> 5238.44] That's okay. +[5238.66 --> 5238.94] All right. +[5239.02 --> 5240.06] Let's do this one first. +[5240.50 --> 5241.26] Oh, did you click both of them? +[5242.22 --> 5244.44] So what we'll have to do... +[5244.44 --> 5245.10] Screen region capture. +[5245.30 --> 5245.92] Is... +[5245.92 --> 5246.26] Yeah. +[5246.36 --> 5247.76] We'll just do screen region capture. +[5248.52 --> 5251.44] And then we will... +[5251.44 --> 5252.20] Oh, I don't know. +[5252.34 --> 5254.78] Let's pick this scene or something. +[5255.00 --> 5255.14] Oh. +[5255.30 --> 5255.90] And... +[5255.90 --> 5257.16] Add screen region. +[5258.28 --> 5258.68] All right. +[5258.68 --> 5258.86] Nope. +[5258.94 --> 5259.18] It's back. +[5259.18 --> 5261.30] Stream section for a little bit here, guys. +[5264.50 --> 5264.74] And... +[5264.74 --> 5266.40] Slideshow from beginning. +[5266.64 --> 5268.24] So now we're just hoping that it's working? +[5268.78 --> 5269.06] Yeah. +[5269.52 --> 5269.78] Cool. +[5270.04 --> 5270.80] It's probably working. +[5270.96 --> 5271.60] Project N... +[5271.60 --> 5271.90] Okay. +[5272.02 --> 5273.36] Do you want to give the background for this? +[5273.82 --> 5274.96] Uh, project N64. +[5275.34 --> 5275.94] Well, let's just... +[5275.94 --> 5277.14] I think they got that much so far. +[5277.22 --> 5277.86] By SageC. +[5277.90 --> 5278.48] Let's go with them. +[5278.60 --> 5279.06] Let's go with them. +[5279.20 --> 5280.76] So this is all the included components. +[5281.08 --> 5284.02] Um, which is not super important in my opinion. +[5284.02 --> 5287.26] You can check out all the included components and all that kind of stuff if you go to the +[5287.26 --> 5287.36] actual build logs. +[5287.36 --> 5289.32] Are you hating on his inclusion of a broken N64? +[5289.96 --> 5290.18] No. +[5290.24 --> 5291.96] I think that's pretty cool because that was my... +[5291.96 --> 5293.88] Actually, this is an interesting discussion. +[5294.18 --> 5297.74] That was my favorite part about listing the system specs of my mineral oil PC was when +[5297.74 --> 5298.68] they asked for a case. +[5299.20 --> 5299.48] Right. +[5300.04 --> 5301.68] I was always like, fish tank. +[5302.50 --> 5302.82] Yeah. +[5303.48 --> 5304.22] So that's... +[5304.22 --> 5304.62] Yeah, I know. +[5304.74 --> 5305.40] That's pretty cool. +[5305.58 --> 5310.34] But the point of the build logs isn't necessarily like, oh, he used AMD instead of Intel. +[5310.52 --> 5310.72] Like, blah. +[5310.76 --> 5311.72] That's not really the point. +[5311.72 --> 5313.76] So I don't really want to spend too much time on this. +[5313.76 --> 5314.06] Oh, sweet. +[5314.78 --> 5315.96] This is the point. +[5316.26 --> 5318.68] The awesomeness that is this computer. +[5319.86 --> 5320.68] So, yeah. +[5321.06 --> 5325.66] He shows in the beginning where he just kind of tore apart the N64 and started removing +[5325.66 --> 5327.72] things, then putting in his motherboard and whatnot. +[5328.02 --> 5333.96] And then if we move on forward, you can see the end shots, which are amazing. +[5334.80 --> 5335.28] Wow. +[5335.64 --> 5336.54] That's ridiculous. +[5337.50 --> 5338.66] That's fantastic. +[5339.82 --> 5340.84] Pretty freaking cool. +[5340.84 --> 5345.42] I've seen some old console build a computer into it builds. +[5345.56 --> 5349.52] But this one is kind of incredible, even having seen those in the past. +[5349.54 --> 5350.30] That's really clean. +[5350.62 --> 5351.16] Yeah, it is. +[5351.86 --> 5352.46] Extremely clean. +[5352.56 --> 5354.38] Usually you see some sort of breakage. +[5355.26 --> 5356.72] And this is extremely well done. +[5357.88 --> 5358.58] All right. +[5358.74 --> 5359.38] Super awesome. +[5359.38 --> 5362.38] So I believe that one was voted for by... +[5362.38 --> 5363.72] He stole my idea. +[5363.86 --> 5364.36] Yeah, no. +[5364.90 --> 5367.48] I believe that one was voted for by the mods. +[5367.64 --> 5369.96] Someone in the chat was like, but he stole my idea. +[5370.24 --> 5371.92] I'm like, yeah, it's also been done before. +[5372.14 --> 5372.30] Yeah. +[5372.34 --> 5376.26] The idea of building a computer in an old console is not really new. +[5376.40 --> 5376.64] No. +[5376.80 --> 5377.46] It's awesome. +[5377.54 --> 5378.86] And he did an extremely good job. +[5378.86 --> 5380.80] But it probably wasn't your original idea. +[5381.04 --> 5383.62] And yeah, more people will do it in the future. +[5383.98 --> 5384.26] All right. +[5384.32 --> 5384.46] Sorry. +[5384.50 --> 5388.42] I'm just trying to be careful not to leak anyone's personal information here. +[5388.78 --> 5389.96] I would be happy about that. +[5390.12 --> 5390.50] What was it? +[5390.62 --> 5390.90] Guessed. +[5391.06 --> 5391.54] Here we go. +[5392.00 --> 5392.78] All right. +[5392.88 --> 5394.36] So we've got our second one here. +[5394.46 --> 5399.16] So just in case you didn't know, water-cooled PC desk mod with car sound system. +[5399.16 --> 5402.94] This one's got some pretty nice specs. +[5403.26 --> 5405.10] Two 780 Ti's and SLI. +[5405.74 --> 5406.68] Lots of storage. +[5406.80 --> 5407.32] Holy crap. +[5408.24 --> 5409.24] Wow, that is a lot of storage. +[5409.30 --> 5412.94] Seven terabytes of storage plus the SSDs. +[5413.26 --> 5414.96] Although I don't think he technically... +[5414.96 --> 5416.96] No, he didn't make it into the 10 terabyte thread. +[5417.32 --> 5417.78] Yeah, bummer. +[5418.46 --> 5419.04] Close enough. +[5419.04 --> 5423.90] And from what I've heard, you're allowed to be a heathen and post in the 10 terabyte thread +[5423.90 --> 5425.04] even if you don't have 10 terabytes. +[5425.34 --> 5426.10] Oh, no. +[5426.10 --> 5428.52] Just to hang out with everyone if you want, I guess. +[5428.52 --> 5430.92] I should post our server. +[5431.08 --> 5435.64] When we get our new Seagate drives, we're getting some super high cap Seagate drives +[5435.64 --> 5440.66] for our server that are going to make us maybe near the top of the 10 terabyte plus thread. +[5440.90 --> 5442.34] Will we not be in red anymore? +[5442.70 --> 5443.56] Because that would be nice. +[5443.74 --> 5444.12] I'm sorry? +[5444.24 --> 5446.18] We've been riding the red line for like months. +[5446.70 --> 5448.26] It's been relatively okay lately. +[5448.38 --> 5451.72] I expanded it to 21 terabytes and we offloaded four terabytes the other day. +[5451.74 --> 5452.10] There you go. +[5452.16 --> 5452.40] Nice. +[5453.10 --> 5453.62] All right. +[5454.30 --> 5454.64] Wow. +[5454.64 --> 5459.96] So it looks extremely similar to the NVIDIA desk that we went to go see. +[5460.20 --> 5460.90] Yeah, that's true. +[5461.12 --> 5462.40] Not exactly the same at all. +[5462.58 --> 5462.74]

10.58] Okay, so we have a great show for you guys this week. +[10.68 --> 16.38] As you can see, Small Linus is not here, but Large Linus is here. +[16.86 --> 19.26] So with Large Linus here, we thought we'd just go ahead with the show. +[19.32 --> 22.70] I know the framing is a little weird and stuff, but we thought we'd try it out and see what you guys think. +[22.98 --> 27.94] So as you guys know, this is Jerry Berg or Barnacles, and we have him on the show this week. +[28.12 --> 29.32] Where can people find you? +[29.32 --> 30.84] How can people see your stuff? +[31.26 --> 34.92] The easiest way to see my stuff would be just to go to barnnerd.com. +[34.98 --> 39.12] You know the barn, like where they keep the cows, and the nerds, like where they keep the nerds.com. +[39.30 --> 39.88] That's where I'm at. +[40.34 --> 41.78] Perfect, so you guys can see him there. +[42.12 --> 44.90] And for the show this week, we have a few different topics. +[44.98 --> 47.40] I'm actually going to let you start them off this time. +[48.56 --> 48.88] Really? +[50.14 --> 50.90] For real? +[51.12 --> 52.40] Oh my gosh. +[52.86 --> 53.32] Oh my gosh. +[54.46 --> 57.12] Do I really have to start with Fractal Josh is awesome, though? +[57.32 --> 57.82] Do I really? +[57.82 --> 58.22] Yes, you do. +[58.22 --> 59.90] We've got to go through the callouts again. +[60.22 --> 60.86] Oh, the callouts. +[60.98 --> 61.26] Do the callouts. +[61.26 --> 62.42] Then we're going to do Fractal Josh. +[62.48 --> 64.34] All right, so do I get to start the callouts this time? +[64.50 --> 64.74] Yep. +[65.40 --> 65.76] Yay! +[65.90 --> 66.64] All right, guys. +[66.92 --> 70.42] We've got a mass exodus of Xbox exclusives. +[70.84 --> 72.18] Yeah, I care about that a whole lot. +[72.42 --> 74.80] Okay, GameStop, fingerprints, customers. +[75.12 --> 76.52] Actually, that sucks. +[77.12 --> 77.98] All right, now I'm kind of depressed. +[77.98 --> 79.54] Take it away. +[79.54 --> 79.66] Take it away. +[79.66 --> 84.12] And then PhysX is being disabled when there's a second GPU in the system, which is not NVIDIA. +[85.36 --> 85.60] Yeah. +[85.94 --> 86.06] We'll see that later. +[86.40 --> 92.60] And the most important news of the week at all, definitely, is that Yoshi's full name has been revealed. +[92.88 --> 95.24] So we will talk about that later as well. +[95.70 --> 96.48] Let's do the intro. +[96.48 --> 122.34] All right, so our first sponsor this week is lynda.com. +[122.34 --> 126.04] You can sign up with lynda.com slash WAN show for a free seven-day trial. +[126.26 --> 132.04] They have thousands and tons of freaking courses, and they're adding new ones every single week. +[132.42 --> 137.14] The plan starts at about $25 a month, but again, if you sign up with our link, you get seven days free. +[137.56 --> 140.42] And our second sponsor is 5-4 Club. +[140.50 --> 141.80] I'm wearing their shirt today. +[142.26 --> 145.30] And if you sign up, you get a... +[145.30 --> 151.20] We're doing a giveaway, actually, where if you like this picture, which I'll drop in the chat here in one second, +[152.34 --> 153.98] that second is going to be delayed. +[154.16 --> 155.96] I'll drop the chat in there in like 30 seconds. +[156.16 --> 161.02] If you follow at 5-4 on Twitter, and if you comment with hashtag LinusStyleTips, +[161.40 --> 167.18] we will announce a winner on Monday on 5-4's page for who wins a free month of 5-4, I believe. +[167.92 --> 171.46] It is about $120 worth of clothing each month for $60. +[172.00 --> 176.58] And if you sign up right now, you get $15 off your first month with offer code LINUS. +[176.58 --> 181.60] Again, I'll be dropping that Instagram picture link in the chat in a second. +[181.60 --> 188.60] Now, our first topic, which you already spoiled slightly, is that Fractal Josh is freaking amazing. +[189.26 --> 194.48] So, I want to show this, but my HDMI setup is not really working great. +[194.80 --> 197.56] Spoiler alert, nothing really got that much better when Linus left. +[199.22 --> 200.54] Let's see here. +[200.92 --> 202.04] Let's see if this actually works. +[202.24 --> 207.16] Because Fractal Josh made probably the greatest shirt that exists in the entire universe. +[207.16 --> 211.32] And he's going to be sending me one, which I'm pretty stoked about. +[211.92 --> 215.96] But he's going to be sending it to my personal address so that when Linus sees it, he doesn't burn it. +[216.24 --> 219.00] Because that's a legitimate worry for this. +[219.26 --> 220.88] So, let's see if this actually totally breaks. +[221.36 --> 222.90] Oh, it did too! +[223.42 --> 225.26] I don't even know if this is plugged in. +[226.52 --> 228.06] Oh, that sucks. +[228.28 --> 229.30] I'll bring it up over here. +[229.30 --> 230.16] Give me one second. +[233.42 --> 234.86] Oh, my God. +[234.88 --> 235.56] I can't wait. +[235.90 --> 236.90] I can't wait. +[237.00 --> 237.58] Come on! +[237.64 --> 238.56] It's going to take a second. +[238.92 --> 240.38] Oh, come on! +[242.02 --> 242.66] No, guys. +[242.72 --> 243.46] I can see it. +[243.50 --> 244.42] You guys can't see. +[244.58 --> 245.70] So, I'm just saying. +[245.94 --> 248.12] Privy to certain knowledge here, apparently. +[248.24 --> 249.52] So, that is the shirt. +[249.74 --> 251.52] As you can see, it's kind of small. +[251.52 --> 257.84] But as you can see, there's fractal Josh in the middle, fist bumping me and throwing a pie at Linus' face. +[258.30 --> 258.80] That's epic. +[258.98 --> 259.88] It's just great. +[260.16 --> 261.16] I love this shirt. +[261.46 --> 263.12] And like I said, he's going to be sending me one. +[263.20 --> 265.98] So, it will be featured on a WAN show sometime in the future. +[266.36 --> 269.84] Thank you, Josh, for making such a beautiful artistic creation. +[270.82 --> 272.62] And we hope to see more in the future. +[273.10 --> 274.30] And it even looks authentic. +[274.50 --> 275.32] That's what's so beautiful. +[275.56 --> 275.94] It does. +[276.26 --> 277.66] It actually took me a second. +[277.78 --> 279.70] He sent me the tweet saying, like, oh, do you like the shirt? +[279.70 --> 281.86] And I was like, yeah, man, you got one of our shirts. +[281.96 --> 282.28] That's cool. +[282.36 --> 283.92] And I was like, wait, there's a third guy in the middle. +[284.48 --> 285.32] What's going on here? +[285.34 --> 287.34] That's the problem with going with those 8-bit graphics. +[287.58 --> 288.54] They're easy to replicate. +[289.10 --> 289.90] They are. +[290.16 --> 290.68] Give me a second. +[290.74 --> 291.32] I'm trying to figure out. +[291.36 --> 292.50] It was just working. +[293.12 --> 294.36] Come on, HDMI cable. +[295.26 --> 297.26] Usually, when Linus is gone, everything works. +[297.34 --> 299.40] So, I have a feeling that he sabotaged something. +[299.86 --> 301.34] Have you ever seen one of my streams? +[301.82 --> 303.12] This is par for the course. +[303.12 --> 305.34] Like, me just being here probably just screwed up everything. +[306.60 --> 308.46] Okay, so that's not working at all. +[308.46 --> 309.30] So, I'm going to have to... +[309.30 --> 310.46] I can't do some reconfiguring. +[310.58 --> 311.34] We'll figure this out. +[311.64 --> 315.72] So, first thing we have is the USB bug thing. +[315.86 --> 317.80] Now, this is interesting. +[317.98 --> 321.78] And I'm happy that they actually properly, like, researched it and stuff. +[322.16 --> 324.16] But it's not really anything new. +[324.24 --> 326.34] We've known this for a really long time. +[326.44 --> 331.86] So, what I'm talking about is two Berlin researchers named Karsten Knoll and Jacob Lell. +[331.86 --> 333.76] I hope I didn't totally butcher that. +[333.76 --> 341.04] But they have demonstrated how any USB device could be used to infect a computer by faking the device type it is. +[341.12 --> 342.40] So, telling it it's something else. +[342.52 --> 345.22] Or having little partitions on there that you can't properly format. +[345.72 --> 348.04] And just infecting computers all over the place. +[348.20 --> 350.06] Again, it's a fairly interesting study. +[350.50 --> 353.20] But, like, I've known this since I was in, like, grade 10. +[353.48 --> 354.70] Maybe even before that. +[355.64 --> 357.50] Yeah, don't plug unknown stuff into your computer. +[357.68 --> 358.02] I mean, come on. +[358.02 --> 359.56] It's a very well-known thing. +[359.68 --> 362.52] Like, anyone who's been around for a while probably knows what hacks are. +[362.64 --> 363.12] Switchblade. +[363.58 --> 366.70] The USB hacks that people can get that just totally wreck you. +[368.72 --> 369.52] Look at that. +[369.68 --> 371.00] You 3D printed that, right? +[371.40 --> 371.64] Yeah. +[371.90 --> 374.68] And this one right here is a hack. +[374.86 --> 375.18] And this one... +[375.18 --> 375.60] No, I'm just kidding. +[375.70 --> 376.80] I don't do that, guys. +[377.00 --> 377.42] I'm legit. +[377.54 --> 377.84] Come on. +[378.10 --> 379.30] I don't know if I believe you. +[379.46 --> 380.40] I don't want hacks or people. +[380.56 --> 385.48] I have a little red painted USB drive that is like a don't plug this into your computer USB drive. +[385.96 --> 387.30] You know what I like is all the people that have been... +[387.30 --> 390.68] Have you seen the people take the Matchbox cars and haul them out and put the USB dongle in there? +[390.74 --> 391.26] So it's just... +[391.26 --> 394.20] It's like a full-blown Matchbox car with just the USB port sticking out the back. +[394.20 --> 394.36] That's pretty cool. +[394.60 --> 395.32] It's pretty cool. +[395.36 --> 396.42] I'm going to try doing that at some point. +[396.44 --> 397.18] That's actually pretty cool. +[397.36 --> 399.66] So don't plug malicious crap into your computer, guys. +[399.72 --> 399.96] Just don't. +[399.96 --> 400.60] Yeah, seriously. +[401.50 --> 406.10] What you can do to help this is get the USB umbrella kind of thing. +[406.16 --> 409.54] I'm hoping to get a sample from these guys to actually try it out myself. +[410.02 --> 415.94] But essentially what they've done is made a USB pass-through plug that just cuts off all the data lanes on the USB. +[415.94 --> 419.94] So it still lets power flow, but it just doesn't have the runs for data. +[420.04 --> 421.70] So it can't actually transfer any data. +[422.14 --> 425.40] They're usually, unless they're trying to give you data off a USB device, +[425.64 --> 427.64] as long as they're trying to plug their phone or something into your computer, +[427.88 --> 429.88] they should only be getting power anyways. +[430.48 --> 430.88] Yeah. +[431.16 --> 433.34] That's an interesting invention, actually. +[433.90 --> 434.62] Yeah, it is. +[434.66 --> 435.50] And it makes sense. +[436.02 --> 438.28] I'm actually kind of surprised that no one thought about it beforehand +[438.28 --> 440.62] because we've done this type of stuff in other applications. +[440.62 --> 440.98] Yeah. +[441.46 --> 445.74] And you can see it when people get the slightly cheaper DVI cables as well. +[445.88 --> 446.98] Certain runs aren't there. +[447.38 --> 448.48] It's like, this is a thing. +[448.60 --> 449.96] So someone actually decided to do it with USB. +[450.36 --> 450.88] So it's kind of cool. +[450.94 --> 454.28] You can use it yourself if you want to plug something of yours into someone else's. +[455.02 --> 456.72] Say you want to charge your phone on someone else's computer +[456.72 --> 459.26] and you don't want to grab an infection from their computer to your phone, +[459.72 --> 461.40] you can use it in that way. +[461.44 --> 462.66] Or you can use it defensively. +[462.74 --> 465.68] So if someone wants to plug something into your phone or your computer, +[465.68 --> 469.36] even if you trust them, they might have a virus from someone else on their phone. +[469.36 --> 469.74] That's true. +[470.18 --> 471.68] So just maybe, I don't know. +[471.78 --> 473.98] I'm going to try and pick up some of these USB umbrella things +[473.98 --> 475.34] and try them out in the future. +[475.52 --> 477.54] I love that kind of stuff. +[477.86 --> 479.18] You know what's going to piss you off, though, +[479.24 --> 480.68] like when you keep forgetting to unplug it +[480.68 --> 481.76] and then you plug something in the back of it +[481.76 --> 483.54] and you're like, why is it fine on my device? +[483.70 --> 483.94] Why? +[483.94 --> 484.52] It's working. +[485.04 --> 485.68] It's ridiculous. +[486.22 --> 487.24] It's fairly large. +[487.36 --> 489.04] Like, it's not the smallest thing ever. +[489.12 --> 490.40] I think they could have made it smaller. +[490.62 --> 491.28] I'm not sure, though. +[491.30 --> 493.06] It is, like, version one or whatever. +[493.28 --> 495.48] So I think you'd probably know. +[495.48 --> 498.00] And, like, knowing me, I'd probably just get, like, six +[498.00 --> 499.92] and put them all over the place +[499.92 --> 500.94] and, like, keep one in my backpack +[500.94 --> 502.26] and, like, keep one in my butt +[502.26 --> 503.74] with whatever laptop I have at the time +[503.74 --> 504.42] and all that kind of stuff. +[505.18 --> 505.88] I don't know. +[505.98 --> 506.32] That's cool. +[506.62 --> 508.80] So that's a fairly interesting thing. +[508.96 --> 512.72] But then we jump to something kind of horrible, in my opinion, +[512.80 --> 514.72] which is the GameStop fingerprinting thing. +[515.30 --> 516.36] Did you have time to read this? +[517.04 --> 518.18] I didn't read through it, +[518.20 --> 520.82] but I think the title pretty much explains that this is ridiculous. +[521.32 --> 523.60] I mean, I'm guessing when you purchase things, +[523.60 --> 525.54] they're basically storing your fingerprint like a bank would +[525.54 --> 526.44] if you're cashing a check? +[526.66 --> 528.70] Luckily, it's not just purchasing things. +[528.82 --> 531.36] What they're actually doing is when you're selling things +[531.36 --> 533.62] because their idea, they did this voluntarily. +[533.98 --> 535.20] They were not forced to do this. +[535.46 --> 539.10] Apparently, the law enforcement agency asked them to, +[539.56 --> 541.72] but the Philadelphia, where it is being done, +[541.78 --> 543.92] is in Philadelphia City, not the suburbs around it, +[543.94 --> 544.68] but just in the city. +[544.68 --> 548.74] The Philadelphia City Solicitor Shelby Smith says specifically, +[549.22 --> 551.70] what GameStop does doesn't meet any of the elements +[551.70 --> 555.00] of the definition in the code for pawn shops. +[555.48 --> 558.66] So the pawnbreaker ordinance doesn't apply to GameStop. +[559.40 --> 561.56] She said essentially GameStop is not required +[561.56 --> 564.84] to collect the thumbprints to abide by the city's pawnbroker law. +[565.14 --> 567.66] So they do have a law where if you're a pawn shop, +[567.80 --> 569.32] you're supposed to take people's fingerprints +[569.32 --> 570.70] when they sell stuff to you. +[570.94 --> 574.14] The idea behind this is so that if you sell them stolen goods. +[574.14 --> 574.74] You're right. +[574.88 --> 575.82] They can find you. +[576.18 --> 578.28] That kind of maybe makes sense. +[578.36 --> 579.60] Personally, I'm still not a huge fan +[579.60 --> 581.04] because of invasion of privacy and whatnot. +[581.66 --> 583.42] Maybe find some other way to find them, +[583.54 --> 586.24] like take their ID down or something like that. +[586.44 --> 588.32] Like ID them to make sure it's the same person +[588.32 --> 589.46] and then take their ID down. +[589.58 --> 591.16] I don't think you need to fingerprint everyone +[591.16 --> 592.36] that freaking sells you something. +[592.68 --> 595.18] No, besides whose fingerprints are in the system? +[595.28 --> 597.22] I mean, yeah, okay, if you're already a past criminal, +[597.22 --> 599.32] but if it's your first offense, yeah, good luck finding them. +[599.52 --> 600.50] That's part of the idea. +[600.50 --> 604.36] The Philadelphia Police Department says that GameStop +[604.36 --> 606.42] is being proactive by obtaining the fingerprints +[606.42 --> 609.80] and uploading them to a database known as Leeds Online, +[610.04 --> 613.24] which they are then compared against criminal databases. +[613.80 --> 614.34] That makes sense. +[614.58 --> 616.68] Yeah, you're not being put into a criminal database. +[617.16 --> 619.48] Some ideas later on down the road when you commit a crime, +[619.58 --> 620.54] then all of a sudden they come in and they go, +[620.62 --> 621.84] yeah, you were jaywalking, +[621.84 --> 624.26] but you also sold like 40 games to GameStop +[624.26 --> 625.00] that you didn't own. +[625.14 --> 627.22] So I'm sorry, your sentence is now life. +[627.22 --> 628.72] Yeah, I don't know. +[628.96 --> 629.54] That's interesting. +[630.76 --> 631.82] I'm not a huge fan, +[631.90 --> 633.44] but it's just everything lately +[633.44 --> 635.46] just seems like horrible, horrible news. +[635.64 --> 638.24] And all the tin hatters that everyone used to laugh at +[638.24 --> 640.62] are now like in public view. +[640.94 --> 643.50] So everything that comes out like this just scares me. +[643.86 --> 645.36] Well, I remember Banks used to do that, +[645.42 --> 646.00] like where you'd go in, +[646.02 --> 646.96] if you had a large check, +[647.04 --> 648.10] you had to do the fingerprint. +[648.18 --> 649.38] I hated that stuff. +[649.70 --> 650.58] You had to rub it off +[650.58 --> 652.90] and it would like turn to like little custom stuff +[652.90 --> 654.08] and get all over your clothing and everything. +[654.18 --> 655.34] I was like, no, I don't want to do this. +[655.34 --> 655.82] Yeah. +[657.08 --> 659.26] GameStop has quoted that at this time, +[659.34 --> 660.72] they're reviewing the process to determine +[660.72 --> 663.66] if it is one which should be continued in Philadelphia +[663.66 --> 665.48] and they're not doing it anywhere +[665.48 --> 668.50] outside of just like the downtown Philadelphia core. +[668.80 --> 671.52] So hopefully they just stop. +[671.78 --> 673.20] What if you're like under 18 though +[673.20 --> 674.08] or something like that? +[674.12 --> 675.96] Can they legally even fingerprint you at that point? +[676.20 --> 678.04] I don't know because that's like American, +[678.26 --> 679.88] that's American law, not Canadian law. +[680.08 --> 681.76] But there's, is that a thing? +[681.76 --> 683.36] Cause I know here they do like, +[683.56 --> 685.84] we're going on a field trip to the police station +[685.84 --> 687.96] and then they fingerprint you when you're kids. +[688.86 --> 690.20] Actually, they do that down here too. +[690.38 --> 691.94] Yeah, it's so bullcrap. +[692.10 --> 693.52] I just know we have weird laws down here. +[693.58 --> 694.58] Like I know you're not allowed to like, +[694.64 --> 695.22] you're not allowed to, +[695.28 --> 696.86] the city can't photograph children. +[696.98 --> 697.74] Like in Washington state, +[697.76 --> 699.22] they put up all these like radar traps +[699.22 --> 700.36] to take pictures of your car. +[700.68 --> 702.24] And like people are fighting back +[702.24 --> 702.70] under the pretense +[702.70 --> 703.80] that you're taking pictures of our children +[703.80 --> 705.32] like sitting in the passenger seat or something. +[705.36 --> 705.92] They actually won. +[706.74 --> 707.38] So they're like, +[707.44 --> 709.30] apparently you can't take pictures of people's kids. +[709.30 --> 710.44] Like it's weird. +[710.70 --> 711.58] We have weird laws, man. +[711.62 --> 712.28] I'm moving to Canada. +[713.68 --> 714.44] That's nuts. +[714.54 --> 715.36] Give me one second. +[715.46 --> 717.82] People are saying that I'm quiet for some reason. +[719.30 --> 720.30] I'm not sure why, +[721.30 --> 725.10] especially when everyone in the test stream +[725.10 --> 726.30] said it was totally fine. +[727.08 --> 728.20] But we will see. +[728.38 --> 729.28] Give me one quick sec. +[730.08 --> 731.62] Is it multiple people complaining? +[732.14 --> 733.96] Well, it's Twitch chat spamming. +[734.08 --> 735.36] So it could be one person. +[735.48 --> 736.52] It could be 30 people. +[736.80 --> 737.66] It could be a whole bunch of people +[737.66 --> 738.84] just spamming for fun. +[739.30 --> 740.72] I'm not even really sure. +[741.16 --> 742.38] But that might fix it. +[742.78 --> 744.30] So we will have to see. +[744.76 --> 745.60] We'll wait for Twitch chat +[745.60 --> 746.60] to be able to catch up. +[748.44 --> 749.74] Yeah, I unmuted the stream. +[749.82 --> 750.64] You are a little quiet, +[750.74 --> 751.52] but it's not horrible. +[752.46 --> 754.24] Well, the mic's a lot closer now. +[754.56 --> 755.70] And in my own monitoring, +[755.88 --> 757.82] I can tell that I'm a fair amount louder now. +[757.90 --> 758.92] So we'll have to see. +[759.02 --> 760.48] Hopefully that works just fine. +[761.10 --> 761.50] Sweet. +[763.48 --> 763.88] Okay. +[764.24 --> 766.02] So next up is Twitch.tv Changes, +[766.12 --> 766.98] which has had everyone +[766.98 --> 768.12] kind of freaking out lately. +[768.12 --> 769.16] I've seen that. +[769.16 --> 770.02] But they've been reeling back +[770.02 --> 771.20] like this whole time. +[771.30 --> 771.74] They're obviously +[771.74 --> 773.12] an extremely agile company. +[774.74 --> 776.68] So they've implemented a few things. +[776.82 --> 777.70] Their automatic system +[777.70 --> 780.14] muting video on demand videos +[780.14 --> 781.94] for having copyright audio +[781.94 --> 784.32] is doing that. +[784.32 --> 787.08] But now there's an appeal button. +[787.36 --> 788.54] So you can press the appeal button +[788.54 --> 790.20] to try to get your video unmuted, +[790.48 --> 791.32] which is interesting. +[791.44 --> 792.64] That appeal button wasn't there +[792.64 --> 793.80] right off the start. +[794.76 --> 796.92] The maximum time limit on highlights +[796.92 --> 798.18] has now been removed, +[798.40 --> 801.42] but you can't have just everything +[801.42 --> 803.14] that you've recorded forever +[803.14 --> 804.14] always saved, +[804.30 --> 805.08] which is interesting +[805.08 --> 806.06] because if someone just goes like +[806.06 --> 807.40] highlight entire video, +[807.60 --> 809.46] I wonder if that's possible. +[810.06 --> 810.20] Yeah. +[810.20 --> 811.66] What about people that have so much stuff +[811.66 --> 812.78] already recorded and uploaded? +[812.78 --> 813.66] That's going to affect them +[813.66 --> 814.38] pretty adversely. +[815.00 --> 815.38] Probably. +[815.74 --> 817.62] And because I do know for a fact +[817.62 --> 818.40] that people go back +[818.40 --> 819.58] and watch different episodes. +[819.74 --> 821.90] I know that my 24-hour charity stream +[821.90 --> 824.18] actually got a lot of VOD views. +[824.62 --> 824.84] Yep. +[825.20 --> 826.26] So I don't know. +[826.28 --> 826.84] That's going to be interesting. +[826.94 --> 828.24] I'm going to try to highlight out +[828.24 --> 829.38] most of the cool parts +[829.38 --> 830.42] of the 24-hour stream. +[832.72 --> 833.16] Yeah. +[833.50 --> 833.96] I don't know. +[833.96 --> 835.52] This is what happens +[835.52 --> 837.20] when Google buys YouTube +[837.20 --> 838.96] and then buys Twitch +[838.96 --> 840.72] is we're going to see +[840.72 --> 842.14] lots of really awesome changes. +[842.28 --> 842.94] I bet you every day +[842.94 --> 844.10] we log into Twitch now, +[844.16 --> 845.04] there's going to be new buttons +[845.04 --> 846.02] we've never seen before +[846.02 --> 847.40] and the layout's going to change +[847.40 --> 848.16] like every day. +[848.16 --> 848.58] They're like plus one. +[848.82 --> 848.98] Yeah. +[849.18 --> 850.64] You know the Google plus the type? +[850.84 --> 851.88] Oh my God, dude. +[852.06 --> 852.84] You see, it's coming. +[852.96 --> 853.52] Mark my words. +[853.58 --> 853.96] It's coming. +[854.22 --> 854.90] Oh my God. +[854.96 --> 855.42] Ridiculous. +[855.58 --> 857.56] So the Twitch CEO, +[857.70 --> 858.30] Emmett Shear, +[858.40 --> 859.92] had a Reddit AMA +[859.92 --> 860.48] where he said +[860.48 --> 861.38] a whole bunch of stuff, +[861.52 --> 862.10] but essentially +[862.10 --> 863.10] one of the big things +[863.10 --> 863.76] in my opinion, +[864.12 --> 864.58] is that he said +[864.58 --> 866.36] we did need to change things. +[866.48 --> 867.54] This is laying groundwork +[867.54 --> 868.88] for some work in the future +[868.88 --> 870.32] you guys are really going to like. +[870.74 --> 871.66] We've been intending +[871.66 --> 872.78] to do this for some time, +[872.88 --> 873.76] but it took us a while +[873.76 --> 874.80] to identify and select +[874.80 --> 876.44] a content identification partner +[876.44 --> 877.92] to get this system up +[877.92 --> 878.84] and reliable. +[879.34 --> 880.62] So the whole thing of like +[880.62 --> 881.56] things you guys +[881.56 --> 882.48] are really going to like, +[882.88 --> 883.80] I have a weird theory +[883.80 --> 884.56] that I don't, +[884.58 --> 885.68] I haven't yet seen +[885.68 --> 886.44] anyone else say it, +[886.50 --> 887.62] but I wouldn't be surprised +[887.62 --> 888.28] if someone else has said it. +[888.28 --> 889.10] Let's hear this theory. +[889.40 --> 890.62] I'm wondering if they're +[890.62 --> 892.10] going to have their own music streaming, +[892.10 --> 894.52] like approved music streaming thing. +[895.46 --> 896.52] Like these are the amount of songs +[896.52 --> 897.56] that you're allowed to play +[897.56 --> 898.94] and what songs they are +[898.94 --> 899.92] and you can play them +[899.92 --> 900.98] using our tool. +[901.46 --> 901.58] Well, +[901.64 --> 902.44] they kind of did the same thing +[902.44 --> 902.84] for YouTube, +[902.98 --> 903.36] didn't they? +[903.48 --> 904.90] Like YouTube had an audio library +[904.90 --> 905.86] pop-up that was like +[905.86 --> 907.08] openly available to everybody. +[907.40 --> 908.10] I think so, +[908.20 --> 909.82] but then Twitch is, +[910.30 --> 911.66] YouTube is used for music, +[911.66 --> 913.18] but directly from +[913.18 --> 914.70] a lot of the music's publishers, +[914.88 --> 915.98] whether it's like Vivo +[915.98 --> 917.62] or the artists themselves +[917.62 --> 919.44] or the like record label +[919.44 --> 919.88] or whatever. +[920.66 --> 921.66] YouTube is done +[921.66 --> 923.64] widely for that, +[923.74 --> 924.68] but Twitch is done +[924.68 --> 925.82] in the background +[925.82 --> 927.12] while someone is playing something. +[927.42 --> 927.80] That's true. +[927.82 --> 928.36] So I wonder if they're going to try +[928.36 --> 929.86] and contact different record labels +[929.86 --> 930.30] and stuff +[930.30 --> 931.68] and see if they can get +[931.68 --> 932.94] approved music. +[933.78 --> 934.82] They might do that. +[934.86 --> 935.62] They might even do like +[935.62 --> 937.60] some kind of ad-based thing too, +[937.66 --> 938.58] where if they detect music +[938.58 --> 938.94] on your thing, +[938.98 --> 940.24] they'll just run ads for that. +[940.70 --> 940.98] You know, +[941.06 --> 941.62] that could be beneficial. +[941.62 --> 942.30] I'd rather that +[942.30 --> 943.72] because I make no freaking ad revenue +[943.72 --> 944.78] off my Twitch channel anyways. +[945.22 --> 946.82] So just let me play music +[946.82 --> 948.16] and take all the revenue. +[948.32 --> 948.78] That's fine. +[948.84 --> 949.22] I don't care. +[949.48 --> 949.60] Yeah, +[949.60 --> 950.38] because if somebody's listening +[950.38 --> 950.84] to the song, +[950.90 --> 951.78] they're going to be the most likely +[951.78 --> 952.92] to give you an impression. +[953.06 --> 953.20] I mean, +[953.22 --> 953.54] they're going to be like, +[953.56 --> 953.80] oh man, +[953.82 --> 954.40] that's a cool song. +[954.44 --> 955.22] I'm going to click that link. +[955.26 --> 956.20] It'd be beneficial to them. +[956.22 --> 956.74] They should do that. +[957.18 --> 958.42] It makes way more sense. +[959.48 --> 960.10] But then again, +[960.10 --> 960.86] we're smart people. +[960.86 --> 961.94] I don't know about them +[961.94 --> 962.82] Google guys sometimes, +[962.94 --> 964.18] but they're all just throwing +[964.18 --> 964.70] their money around +[964.70 --> 965.80] trying to make Google Plus win. +[966.00 --> 966.98] I don't get it. +[967.20 --> 968.46] The whole Google Plus win thing, +[968.54 --> 969.30] I don't really understand, +[969.46 --> 970.20] but I don't think I'm going to +[970.20 --> 971.14] throw Google under the bus +[971.14 --> 971.96] because I think like +[971.96 --> 974.14] half the wit of someone's dog +[974.14 --> 974.92] that works at Google +[974.92 --> 976.06] is probably higher than me. +[976.62 --> 977.78] I'm actually just playing around. +[977.88 --> 979.42] If I went back to the IT field, +[979.52 --> 980.56] Google would be the first company +[980.56 --> 981.92] I went and actually worked for. +[982.26 --> 983.26] That would be beast, man. +[983.50 --> 984.72] They're pretty stand up. +[984.78 --> 985.58] I've actually talked to a lot +[985.58 --> 986.16] of people at Google. +[986.30 --> 986.94] They're pretty cool. +[987.30 --> 987.52] Yeah. +[988.58 --> 989.64] Best of YouTube, +[989.90 --> 990.46] stop it! +[990.80 --> 990.94] Okay. +[991.34 --> 991.62] Sorry, +[991.68 --> 992.52] I had to get that rant out of the way. +[992.52 --> 993.20] I kind of agree, +[993.32 --> 993.96] so it's no big deal. +[994.40 --> 995.84] Another thing that he talked about +[995.84 --> 998.04] is how there's a lot of agreements +[998.04 --> 999.06] for different game companies +[999.06 --> 1000.42] so they won't try to get you in trouble +[1000.42 --> 1001.90] if you're playing games on Twitch, +[1002.04 --> 1002.76] but those agreements +[1002.76 --> 1004.42] don't exist for music. +[1005.04 --> 1005.78] So people that are like, +[1005.84 --> 1007.16] oh, it's our right to do this. +[1008.78 --> 1009.84] I also heard a rumor, +[1009.98 --> 1010.60] I don't know if you know, +[1010.76 --> 1012.12] is this true that you can still +[1012.12 --> 1013.38] play the music on your stream? +[1013.46 --> 1014.78] It'll just be muted in the recording +[1014.78 --> 1015.94] or is it muted immediately? +[1016.10 --> 1017.56] I think that's how it works, +[1017.82 --> 1019.06] but I think that's not supposed +[1019.06 --> 1019.82] to be the idea. +[1020.50 --> 1021.86] I think you're supposed to stop. +[1021.86 --> 1022.60] I just don't think +[1022.60 --> 1023.86] they're muting live streams. +[1024.56 --> 1025.44] I think you might be able +[1025.44 --> 1026.28] to get in trouble now. +[1027.18 --> 1027.90] I'm not really sure. +[1028.06 --> 1029.24] And if it's not like that already, +[1029.24 --> 1030.20] I'm sure they're going to move +[1030.20 --> 1030.80] in that direction. +[1031.26 --> 1032.30] I saw some funny streams +[1032.30 --> 1032.74] the other day +[1032.74 --> 1033.74] when I was looking around on there +[1033.74 --> 1034.86] with titles like +[1034.86 --> 1036.24] playing copyright music +[1036.24 --> 1037.40] all day, all night. +[1038.30 --> 1039.76] That's how I found out about this +[1039.76 --> 1041.14] was originally all these people +[1041.14 --> 1042.50] just kind of spiting them. +[1042.74 --> 1043.34] So I was like, hmm. +[1043.34 --> 1043.56] Right. +[1044.42 --> 1046.60] It's not Twitch's fault though. +[1046.76 --> 1047.18] It's not. +[1047.56 --> 1049.08] They're getting legal hammers +[1049.08 --> 1050.06] thrown onto their heads +[1050.06 --> 1051.00] and they're just reacting +[1051.00 --> 1051.74] because of it. +[1051.80 --> 1052.66] That's not surprising. +[1053.14 --> 1053.90] They're going to have to react +[1053.90 --> 1054.58] in some way. +[1054.58 --> 1056.94] Just allowing everyone +[1056.94 --> 1057.52] and their mom +[1057.52 --> 1059.14] to broadcast music for free. +[1059.82 --> 1060.10] Yeah. +[1060.92 --> 1062.02] Well, that's the problem is +[1062.02 --> 1063.22] when you're a small company, +[1063.30 --> 1064.66] you can take the liability, right? +[1064.72 --> 1065.58] I mean, chances are +[1065.58 --> 1066.30] they're not going to sue you +[1066.30 --> 1067.00] unless they can make +[1067.00 --> 1068.34] a massive amount of money. +[1068.38 --> 1069.60] But look who owns them now, right? +[1069.96 --> 1070.14] Yeah. +[1070.16 --> 1071.20] I mean, there's big pockets +[1071.20 --> 1072.40] now behind Twitch all of a sudden +[1072.40 --> 1073.70] so they have to protect themselves. +[1074.32 --> 1075.50] Someone in the chat said +[1075.50 --> 1076.72] it's only for VODs +[1076.72 --> 1078.06] but it's for 30-minute segments. +[1078.54 --> 1080.90] So if they detect music +[1080.90 --> 1081.28] or whatever, +[1081.38 --> 1082.60] they'll mute you for 30 minutes +[1082.60 --> 1083.54] which is interesting. +[1083.74 --> 1084.72] So right now, +[1085.26 --> 1087.90] I guess it's fine +[1087.90 --> 1089.40] if you play it +[1089.40 --> 1090.12] in your live stream. +[1090.38 --> 1091.00] So everybody, +[1091.16 --> 1091.84] increase your music +[1091.84 --> 1093.54] to 1.2x speed +[1093.54 --> 1094.28] when you're playing it +[1094.28 --> 1094.78] in the background. +[1094.90 --> 1095.46] It just fudges +[1095.46 --> 1096.20] their whole algorithm. +[1097.64 --> 1099.22] That would be really interesting. +[1099.34 --> 1099.94] I wonder if you'd get +[1099.94 --> 1100.48] in trouble for that +[1100.48 --> 1101.26] but it would be really interesting +[1101.26 --> 1102.92] to see attempting to break +[1102.92 --> 1103.92] Twitch algorithm +[1103.92 --> 1105.64] play at different speeds +[1105.64 --> 1106.96] like mixing music +[1106.96 --> 1107.68] play two songs +[1107.68 --> 1108.32] at the same time +[1108.32 --> 1108.74] or something. +[1109.18 --> 1109.84] Yeah, I'd be curious +[1109.84 --> 1110.36] to see what could +[1110.36 --> 1111.24] defeat that algorithm. +[1111.24 --> 1113.28] Someone should do it. +[1113.34 --> 1114.14] Just try not to get banned. +[1114.46 --> 1114.96] Maybe create like +[1114.96 --> 1115.80] a second account +[1115.80 --> 1116.52] that you don't use that. +[1116.52 --> 1117.34] Yeah, and Luke and I +[1117.34 --> 1118.48] don't condone that. +[1118.54 --> 1120.16] We actually didn't say anything. +[1120.28 --> 1120.78] Yeah, we didn't. +[1120.78 --> 1121.40] This part of the stream +[1121.40 --> 1122.22] is going to be muted +[1122.22 --> 1122.90] in the VOD. +[1123.58 --> 1123.92] Yep. +[1125.10 --> 1126.20] So don't worry about it. +[1126.22 --> 1126.68] They just muted us. +[1129.06 --> 1130.04] That would be great. +[1130.18 --> 1131.40] They have the descent algorithm. +[1131.52 --> 1131.74] They're like, +[1131.78 --> 1132.74] we have detected descent +[1132.74 --> 1133.60] within the Twitch network. +[1133.80 --> 1134.24] We must be... +[1134.24 --> 1136.82] Let's get the NSA on this. +[1137.40 --> 1138.26] All right, so next up +[1138.26 --> 1139.24] we have the IBM +[1139.24 --> 1140.28] brain-like chip +[1140.28 --> 1142.12] which kind of blew my mind. +[1142.22 --> 1142.54] Get it? +[1142.62 --> 1142.86] Pun? +[1143.06 --> 1144.16] When I first read about it. +[1144.40 --> 1145.14] It has 1 million +[1145.14 --> 1146.16] programmable neurons, +[1146.32 --> 1148.52] 256 million programmable synapses +[1148.52 --> 1151.50] across 4,096 individual +[1151.50 --> 1153.58] neurosynaptic cores +[1153.58 --> 1156.34] with 5.4 billion transistors. +[1158.50 --> 1160.28] This thing is a neuromorphic +[1160.98 --> 1162.34] brain-like computer chip +[1162.34 --> 1163.28] called TrueNorth +[1163.28 --> 1164.34] which is built on top +[1164.34 --> 1166.30] of Samsung's 28 nanometer process. +[1166.30 --> 1168.66] It consumes just 72 milliwatts +[1168.66 --> 1169.78] at max load +[1169.78 --> 1172.46] and it is 176,000 times +[1172.46 --> 1173.02] more efficient +[1173.02 --> 1174.10] than a modern CPU +[1174.10 --> 1175.36] running the same +[1175.36 --> 1176.80] brain-like workload. +[1176.94 --> 1178.00] So not doing just anything +[1178.00 --> 1180.62] but running a brain-like workload. +[1180.96 --> 1182.74] Whatever the crap that is. +[1184.42 --> 1185.56] Kind of cool. +[1186.00 --> 1187.36] They're talking about how +[1187.36 --> 1189.40] it's the second generation version +[1189.40 --> 1191.30] of one which was a prototype +[1191.30 --> 1192.00] in 2011 +[1192.00 --> 1194.92] and it's pretty much ready to go +[1194.92 --> 1195.90] for commercial application +[1195.90 --> 1197.54] but I don't know +[1197.54 --> 1199.10] where it's actually going to be used +[1199.10 --> 1199.94] for commercial application. +[1200.08 --> 1201.06] I see this more going to like +[1201.06 --> 1202.00] research labs. +[1202.52 --> 1203.48] This would definitely be +[1203.48 --> 1204.88] probably in the research space. +[1205.08 --> 1205.22] Yeah. +[1205.22 --> 1205.54] Definitely. +[1205.80 --> 1206.26] Because I don't know +[1206.26 --> 1207.36] how many people need those +[1207.36 --> 1209.00] like brain-like applications +[1209.56 --> 1211.00] at least yet. +[1211.12 --> 1211.78] I'm sure this will be +[1211.78 --> 1212.54] in consumer devices +[1212.54 --> 1214.04] in X amount of years +[1214.04 --> 1215.34] but even though they say +[1215.34 --> 1216.14] it's ready now +[1216.14 --> 1218.28] I pretty much only see it in. +[1218.28 --> 1219.48] Yeah, your future iPhone +[1219.48 --> 1220.40] is going to be back talking +[1220.40 --> 1220.92] you guys. +[1221.98 --> 1222.76] So you're going to be like +[1222.76 --> 1223.74] I don't feel like it. +[1224.76 --> 1226.70] Hey, you didn't take me out +[1226.70 --> 1227.52] for ice cream. +[1227.94 --> 1228.68] Yeah, exactly. +[1229.04 --> 1229.58] Oh my god. +[1229.68 --> 1230.28] I'm not telling you +[1230.28 --> 1231.00] where your car is. +[1231.42 --> 1232.84] I'd imagine a CPU like this though. +[1232.90 --> 1233.62] I mean this isn't designed +[1233.62 --> 1234.12] for just running +[1234.12 --> 1235.56] straight up binary operations. +[1236.04 --> 1237.90] This is like multiple states. +[1238.64 --> 1239.88] So you'd have to write +[1239.88 --> 1240.62] custom software, +[1240.78 --> 1241.40] custom compiler, +[1241.52 --> 1242.00] all that stuff. +[1242.08 --> 1243.02] So I'd be curious to see +[1243.02 --> 1244.18] what they ultimately +[1244.18 --> 1244.88] use that for. +[1245.00 --> 1246.36] But the power consumption +[1246.36 --> 1247.22] kind of blows my mind. +[1247.28 --> 1248.04] I'm like why can they build +[1248.04 --> 1248.54] something like this +[1248.54 --> 1249.68] that consumes so little power? +[1249.68 --> 1251.22] Yet a conventional CPU +[1251.22 --> 1252.50] still can like heat your coffee. +[1253.08 --> 1253.82] I think it's because +[1253.82 --> 1255.42] they're so drastically different. +[1255.92 --> 1256.10] Yeah. +[1256.18 --> 1256.94] It doesn't have to be able +[1256.94 --> 1257.96] to do all the different things +[1257.96 --> 1259.00] that a CPU can do. +[1259.52 --> 1259.72] Right. +[1260.98 --> 1261.88] And even though they say +[1261.88 --> 1263.86] it's like brain-like processes, +[1264.14 --> 1266.08] how brain-like actually is it? +[1267.10 --> 1268.04] Well, the last time +[1268.04 --> 1269.08] you tried to calculate Pi +[1269.08 --> 1270.28] out to like the 4 millionth place, +[1270.32 --> 1271.42] how long did it take you to do it? +[1271.44 --> 1272.24] Because the computer can do it +[1272.24 --> 1273.04] in like three seconds. +[1273.28 --> 1273.56] Yeah. +[1273.72 --> 1274.74] So like maybe this thing's +[1274.74 --> 1275.38] a lot more efficient +[1275.38 --> 1276.42] at doing brain-like things +[1276.42 --> 1278.06] because the CPU is actually faster +[1278.06 --> 1279.18] and can't do it brain-like. +[1279.60 --> 1280.88] They probably just got a brain-like +[1280.88 --> 1282.54] because dumb just wouldn't sell chips. +[1282.88 --> 1284.00] Like dumb chips. +[1285.60 --> 1287.96] It is incredibly not as good. +[1288.30 --> 1289.56] So it's much more efficient +[1289.56 --> 1290.72] at being bad. +[1290.72 --> 1291.16] Yeah. +[1291.32 --> 1292.32] That's marketing for you. +[1292.56 --> 1292.80] Yeah. +[1292.94 --> 1293.46] Exactly. +[1293.46 --> 1296.46] Our next-gen product, +[1296.68 --> 1298.18] which is incredibly much better +[1298.18 --> 1299.40] at being last-gen +[1299.40 --> 1300.54] than the next-gen products +[1300.54 --> 1301.64] of its competition. +[1303.24 --> 1305.84] So news that's probably +[1305.84 --> 1307.24] super close to your heart +[1307.24 --> 1309.50] is Xbox One lost Microsoft +[1309.50 --> 1311.90] 400 million in gross margins last year. +[1312.00 --> 1313.80] So they didn't just go down. +[1314.66 --> 1318.18] It increased by $1.7 billion, +[1318.74 --> 1319.72] their overall revenue, +[1319.72 --> 1323.12] but it also cost them $2.1 billion +[1323.12 --> 1324.28] to get there, +[1324.52 --> 1326.98] which net a $400 million loss. +[1327.86 --> 1329.86] So it's not that surprising. +[1330.28 --> 1331.52] It's kind of to be expected +[1331.52 --> 1333.22] with these massive launches, +[1333.52 --> 1334.46] especially when it didn't sell +[1334.46 --> 1336.16] quite as well as they expected. +[1336.46 --> 1337.54] You have to do stuff like marketing, +[1337.74 --> 1339.02] R&D, distribution, +[1339.26 --> 1340.08] all that crap, +[1340.14 --> 1340.98] and they have to pre-make +[1340.98 --> 1341.76] all these machines. +[1341.92 --> 1342.76] So they might even still have +[1342.76 --> 1344.02] backstock of all this kind of stuff. +[1344.70 --> 1346.82] And yeah, I don't know. +[1347.12 --> 1347.96] Well, it's like I remember back +[1347.96 --> 1349.20] when they made the Xbox 360. +[1349.36 --> 1350.04] I mean, they were paying +[1350.04 --> 1351.90] two and a half times +[1351.90 --> 1353.10] the cost of the system +[1353.10 --> 1353.84] to produce each one. +[1353.90 --> 1354.62] So they were losing money +[1354.62 --> 1355.40] hand over fist. +[1355.60 --> 1355.78] Yep. +[1356.04 --> 1357.54] And I'd imagine in this situation, +[1357.54 --> 1358.44] it's probably not as bad. +[1358.48 --> 1359.12] I'd hope they'd learn +[1359.12 --> 1359.72] from their mistake. +[1359.78 --> 1360.68] But still, in the beginning, +[1360.68 --> 1362.10] you're going to take a huge hit, right? +[1363.00 --> 1364.98] Yeah, I've heard it's not nearly as bad. +[1365.24 --> 1367.82] And I know PlayStation 3 +[1367.82 --> 1369.48] and Xbox 360, +[1369.48 --> 1370.76] they were both losing money +[1370.76 --> 1372.32] when you bought just the core system. +[1372.50 --> 1373.98] If you bought like a controller +[1373.98 --> 1375.46] in the same basket, +[1375.68 --> 1376.98] then they made money or whatever. +[1376.98 --> 1378.08] I can't remember what the exact +[1378.08 --> 1378.94] breakdown was. +[1379.20 --> 1381.26] But with Xbox One and PS4, +[1381.32 --> 1382.12] they were making money +[1382.12 --> 1383.42] even on just the core system. +[1383.88 --> 1385.08] So it's changed a bit. +[1385.50 --> 1386.62] Do you remember on PS3 +[1386.62 --> 1387.12] when they were selling, +[1387.20 --> 1387.82] people were buying them +[1387.82 --> 1388.96] just as Blu-ray players? +[1389.18 --> 1389.44] Yeah. +[1389.52 --> 1390.76] They were losing money like crazy +[1390.76 --> 1391.98] because just a factory +[1391.98 --> 1394.04] run-of-the-mill Blu-ray player +[1394.04 --> 1394.74] at the time was like +[1394.74 --> 1396.02] $100 more expensive +[1396.02 --> 1396.80] than buying the console +[1396.80 --> 1397.78] that did the better job. +[1398.04 --> 1399.38] And I know that that hurt them +[1399.38 --> 1400.38] really bad in the beginning too. +[1400.46 --> 1400.92] But honestly, +[1401.02 --> 1402.30] I think the whole console things, +[1402.98 --> 1404.00] I love consoles, +[1404.18 --> 1405.70] but I think they just waited too long. +[1405.70 --> 1406.50] I think 10 years +[1406.50 --> 1406.96] and then coming out +[1406.96 --> 1407.54] with other consoles, +[1407.68 --> 1408.56] it's like everybody's kind of +[1408.56 --> 1409.60] moved on to other things. +[1409.70 --> 1410.34] Mobile gaming, +[1410.54 --> 1411.16] desktop gaming. +[1411.26 --> 1411.74] I think it's just, +[1411.82 --> 1412.52] it's kind of killing +[1412.52 --> 1413.74] that market down a little bit. +[1413.86 --> 1414.54] And I think they did it +[1414.54 --> 1416.76] like too little too late +[1416.76 --> 1418.12] is probably the perfect, +[1418.28 --> 1419.50] I think that's the first time +[1419.50 --> 1421.02] I've ever used that perfectly +[1421.02 --> 1422.18] is because it wasn't +[1422.18 --> 1423.40] nearly strong enough +[1423.40 --> 1425.34] and it was way too late. +[1425.40 --> 1426.96] If they released this console +[1426.96 --> 1428.60] a few years ago, +[1428.92 --> 1429.14] maybe. +[1429.14 --> 1429.28] Yeah. +[1429.28 --> 1430.00] Well, +[1430.00 --> 1431.36] I remember when the PS3 came out, +[1431.40 --> 1432.66] it was like so beyond +[1432.66 --> 1433.94] any generation of computer. +[1434.12 --> 1434.82] People were actually +[1434.82 --> 1435.90] taking that cell processor, +[1436.30 --> 1437.66] dropping Linux distros on it +[1437.66 --> 1438.54] and using it for processing +[1438.54 --> 1440.10] because no conventional computer +[1440.10 --> 1440.62] could do it. +[1440.94 --> 1441.10] Yeah. +[1441.12 --> 1442.26] And now you've got the Xbox One +[1442.26 --> 1442.96] which pretty much has like +[1442.96 --> 1444.92] two-year-old hardware in it. +[1445.10 --> 1445.30] I mean, +[1446.42 --> 1447.04] so I mean, +[1447.08 --> 1447.72] there's like really, +[1448.12 --> 1449.12] other than playing games on it, +[1449.12 --> 1449.80] I guess there's no reason +[1449.80 --> 1450.22] to go like, +[1450.26 --> 1450.46] you know, +[1450.80 --> 1451.92] try to find a cure for cancer +[1451.92 --> 1452.56] with it or something. +[1452.56 --> 1453.28] I can't remember +[1453.28 --> 1454.20] if it was the Navy +[1454.20 --> 1454.94] or the Army +[1454.94 --> 1455.82] or the Air Force +[1455.82 --> 1456.24] or whatever, +[1456.24 --> 1457.72] but some military cell +[1457.72 --> 1458.56] in the States +[1458.56 --> 1459.30] was using +[1459.30 --> 1461.30] PlayStation 3 clusters +[1461.30 --> 1462.26] as servers. +[1462.98 --> 1463.08] Oh, +[1463.16 --> 1463.72] a lot of people +[1463.72 --> 1464.20] were doing that. +[1464.42 --> 1464.48] Yeah. +[1464.82 --> 1466.18] The leading project on, +[1466.22 --> 1467.18] so remember the SETI at home, +[1467.28 --> 1468.80] the Search for Extra-Texture Telecom? +[1469.12 --> 1469.28] Yeah, +[1469.34 --> 1469.94] there was like some, +[1470.06 --> 1471.36] the top ranking one +[1471.36 --> 1471.82] in that list +[1471.82 --> 1472.46] for like a year +[1472.46 --> 1474.04] was just a bank of PS3s. +[1474.18 --> 1475.50] It was so damn good +[1475.50 --> 1475.98] at running those +[1475.98 --> 1476.74] floating point numbers +[1476.74 --> 1477.62] with that cell processor. +[1477.78 --> 1478.16] It was awesome. +[1478.46 --> 1479.28] That's pretty crazy. +[1479.48 --> 1481.14] They've kind of abandoned that though +[1481.14 --> 1482.34] and tried to be computers +[1482.34 --> 1483.68] which they're not good at doing +[1483.68 --> 1485.38] because straight up normal computers +[1485.38 --> 1486.10] are much better than that. +[1486.24 --> 1487.42] Speaking of which, +[1488.12 --> 1489.10] there's been kind of a +[1489.10 --> 1490.08] mass exodus. +[1490.32 --> 1491.40] I guess mass exodus +[1491.40 --> 1492.92] isn't as great anymore +[1492.92 --> 1494.22] now that Halo isn't in this, +[1494.58 --> 1495.92] but there's been an exodus +[1495.92 --> 1496.76] of PC, +[1497.08 --> 1497.70] sorry, +[1497.88 --> 1499.92] Xbox One exclusive titles +[1499.92 --> 1501.52] which have now gone to PC. +[1502.04 --> 1503.54] So we saw Dead Rising 3 +[1503.54 --> 1504.44] not that long ago +[1504.44 --> 1506.02] and now Rise has been announced. +[1506.48 --> 1507.64] Rise is going to be coming +[1507.64 --> 1510.34] with support for 4K resolution +[1510.34 --> 1511.96] and it's also going to have +[1511.96 --> 1513.20] downloadable extras +[1513.20 --> 1515.08] from the console game. +[1515.08 --> 1515.88] So it's going to have +[1515.88 --> 1517.02] some nice little features +[1517.02 --> 1518.26] for the PC +[1518.26 --> 1519.12] that the console one +[1519.12 --> 1519.94] didn't have +[1519.94 --> 1521.78] kind of unlike Dead Risings +[1521.78 --> 1522.56] which was slightly +[1522.56 --> 1524.02] not the most graceful +[1524.02 --> 1525.58] leap over to PC. +[1526.26 --> 1528.18] Then everyone was super stoked +[1528.18 --> 1529.20] including myself. +[1529.54 --> 1530.54] I even went and like +[1530.54 --> 1531.64] happily told my dad +[1531.64 --> 1532.14] about this +[1532.14 --> 1533.14] and then was super sad +[1533.14 --> 1533.92] when it didn't happen. +[1534.30 --> 1536.60] But the Halo Master Chief +[1536.60 --> 1537.20] Collector's Edition +[1537.20 --> 1537.72] for PC +[1537.72 --> 1539.64] is apparently not coming +[1539.64 --> 1540.76] to PC. +[1540.76 --> 1541.60] Yeah, +[1541.84 --> 1543.22] so it was posted +[1543.22 --> 1544.36] on Amazon +[1544.36 --> 1545.82] as you probably know +[1545.82 --> 1547.64] and I was incredible. +[1547.76 --> 1548.48] I even tried +[1548.48 --> 1549.72] to like pre-order it. +[1550.08 --> 1551.16] Did they even make a mouse? +[1551.24 --> 1551.64] I thought they were +[1551.64 --> 1552.26] selling a mouse +[1552.26 --> 1553.12] that was themed after it. +[1553.12 --> 1553.82] They've got a mouse +[1553.82 --> 1555.04] that's themed after it +[1555.04 --> 1556.74] but that's apparently unrelated. +[1557.32 --> 1558.52] Aaron Greenberg +[1558.52 --> 1559.14] has tweeted +[1559.14 --> 1560.42] that it was +[1560.42 --> 1561.62] an error at retail +[1561.62 --> 1563.16] and he's apologizing +[1563.16 --> 1563.84] for the confusion +[1563.84 --> 1564.50] that it's caused. +[1564.68 --> 1566.36] But I'm still going to hold off +[1566.36 --> 1567.54] because I'm still not sure. +[1567.54 --> 1568.92] I'm still willing to +[1568.92 --> 1571.36] just hunker down +[1571.36 --> 1572.06] and believe +[1572.06 --> 1573.16] and I'm going to wait +[1573.16 --> 1574.30] for Gamescom +[1574.30 --> 1575.76] and PAX Prime. +[1576.56 --> 1577.20] I love Halo. +[1577.32 --> 1577.58] Honestly, +[1577.66 --> 1578.26] out of all the titles +[1578.26 --> 1578.64] you mentioned +[1578.64 --> 1579.32] that's the only one +[1579.32 --> 1580.00] I really cared about +[1580.00 --> 1580.56] coming to PC. +[1580.80 --> 1581.68] I would love to do +[1581.68 --> 1582.32] multiplayer Halo. +[1582.34 --> 1582.62] I completely agree. +[1583.98 --> 1585.26] Maybe I'll pick up Rise +[1585.26 --> 1586.58] in like two summer sales +[1586.58 --> 1586.92] from now +[1586.92 --> 1587.48] when it's $5 +[1587.48 --> 1589.68] and I'm not really +[1589.68 --> 1590.14] that interested +[1590.14 --> 1591.12] in picking up Dead Rising +[1591.12 --> 1592.36] because who the hell cares. +[1593.40 --> 1594.22] But Halo. +[1594.66 --> 1595.86] Being able to play Halo 2 +[1595.86 --> 1596.96] online again +[1596.96 --> 1599.50] As you can tell +[1599.50 --> 1600.12] I love Halo. +[1600.26 --> 1600.86] I 3D printed +[1600.86 --> 1601.92] the freaking whole helmet. +[1602.12 --> 1603.34] I got my little action figures. +[1603.42 --> 1604.46] Dude, I love me some Halo. +[1604.72 --> 1605.40] That's epic. +[1606.04 --> 1606.48] So yeah, +[1606.64 --> 1608.56] it's happened before. +[1608.64 --> 1609.06] That's the thing. +[1609.16 --> 1610.48] The Amazon UK site +[1610.48 --> 1611.54] has leaked quite a few +[1611.54 --> 1612.20] different games +[1612.20 --> 1613.26] by posting them early. +[1613.66 --> 1614.82] So I'm wondering +[1614.82 --> 1616.38] I'm going to go with this +[1616.38 --> 1616.90] actually +[1616.90 --> 1617.96] just because I want it +[1617.96 --> 1618.94] to happen so badly. +[1619.20 --> 1620.18] There's no real reason +[1620.18 --> 1620.94] for me to believe this +[1620.94 --> 1621.64] at all +[1621.64 --> 1622.60] but I'm just going to +[1622.60 --> 1623.46] go with it anyways. +[1623.92 --> 1624.76] Conspiracy theory. +[1624.98 --> 1625.60] Yeah, exactly. +[1625.60 --> 1627.20] I want to believe +[1627.20 --> 1627.86] that that tweet +[1627.86 --> 1629.56] is just to throw people off. +[1629.94 --> 1630.62] It's just a cover up? +[1630.92 --> 1632.02] I believe it. +[1632.02 --> 1632.14] I'm going to go with +[1632.14 --> 1632.86] it's just a cover up. +[1633.28 --> 1633.88] Because maybe +[1633.88 --> 1634.86] they're trying to get people +[1634.86 --> 1635.44] to settle down +[1635.44 --> 1635.94] for a little bit +[1635.94 --> 1637.10] so they can explode again +[1637.10 --> 1637.82] with Gamescom +[1637.82 --> 1638.52] or PAX Prime. +[1639.86 --> 1640.26] Please +[1640.26 --> 1641.44] make that be the truth. +[1641.58 --> 1642.24] And if it's not +[1642.24 --> 1643.68] just make the damn thing. +[1643.76 --> 1644.46] I don't care. +[1644.58 --> 1645.70] Just bring it to PC. +[1646.28 --> 1647.64] Just copy the last one +[1647.64 --> 1648.40] port it to PC +[1648.40 --> 1649.42] put a new number on it +[1649.42 --> 1649.62] whatever +[1649.62 --> 1650.94] just give it to us. +[1651.14 --> 1651.74] Halo's already been +[1651.74 --> 1652.54] on PC before +[1652.54 --> 1654.06] just bring it back again. +[1654.06 --> 1655.66] And people are still +[1655.66 --> 1656.50] playing it today. +[1656.92 --> 1657.30] They are. +[1657.52 --> 1657.92] And do you remember +[1657.92 --> 1659.18] what happened with Halo 2 +[1659.18 --> 1660.16] when they were shutting down +[1660.16 --> 1660.92] the online servers? +[1661.92 --> 1662.26] All the people +[1662.26 --> 1663.16] that refused to disconnect. +[1664.02 --> 1664.54] Oh really? +[1664.84 --> 1665.14] Yeah. +[1665.28 --> 1665.76] Oh my god. +[1665.82 --> 1665.98] Okay. +[1666.10 --> 1666.92] So they couldn't +[1666.92 --> 1667.54] shut down the servers +[1667.54 --> 1668.46] until everyone disconnected +[1668.46 --> 1669.04] for some reason. +[1669.54 --> 1670.64] And there were people +[1670.64 --> 1672.48] that stayed in a game lobby +[1672.48 --> 1673.68] that would just keep +[1673.68 --> 1674.14] recreating +[1674.14 --> 1674.96] I think +[1674.96 --> 1675.70] was it one map +[1675.70 --> 1676.32] or recreating maps? +[1676.40 --> 1676.72] I don't remember +[1676.72 --> 1677.48] but they just stayed +[1677.48 --> 1678.20] in a game +[1678.20 --> 1679.42] and refused to quit. +[1679.42 --> 1680.18] And people were like +[1680.18 --> 1681.36] donating the money +[1681.36 --> 1682.54] to buy fans +[1682.54 --> 1683.82] and AC units +[1683.82 --> 1684.18] and stuff +[1684.18 --> 1684.72] to try and keep +[1684.72 --> 1685.50] their Xboxes running. +[1685.96 --> 1686.42] And they stayed +[1686.42 --> 1687.20] in that game +[1687.20 --> 1687.64] I don't remember +[1687.64 --> 1688.14] for how long +[1688.14 --> 1688.60] but I think it was +[1688.60 --> 1689.36] like a week or two +[1689.36 --> 1689.78] or something +[1689.78 --> 1691.06] and they just kept it going +[1691.06 --> 1691.54] so they couldn't +[1691.54 --> 1692.26] shut down the servers. +[1692.80 --> 1693.60] And then eventually +[1693.60 --> 1695.06] people were falling off +[1695.06 --> 1695.64] because of +[1695.64 --> 1697.94] console failure +[1697.94 --> 1699.04] overheat +[1699.04 --> 1699.74] Red Ring +[1699.74 --> 1700.10] and whatnot +[1700.10 --> 1701.42] and then finally +[1701.42 --> 1702.44] it came down to one person +[1702.44 --> 1703.44] and he or she +[1703.44 --> 1704.50] lasted for a little while +[1704.50 --> 1705.60] and then it finally died out. +[1705.90 --> 1707.62] People liked Halo 2 online. +[1707.62 --> 1710.06] I really liked Halo 2 online. +[1710.40 --> 1711.36] It's the only console game +[1711.36 --> 1712.04] that I've gone into +[1712.04 --> 1713.10] like really heavily. +[1713.76 --> 1714.14] No I was +[1714.14 --> 1714.86] I love it. +[1714.94 --> 1715.74] As far as console +[1715.74 --> 1717.54] that's probably the one game +[1717.54 --> 1718.24] that I love playing +[1718.24 --> 1719.40] on console and on PC +[1719.40 --> 1720.34] like the same. +[1720.56 --> 1721.52] Like I love just sitting down +[1721.52 --> 1722.54] and playing it on console +[1722.54 --> 1723.06] but it's funny +[1723.06 --> 1723.60] because this is probably +[1723.60 --> 1724.04] the one time +[1724.04 --> 1724.74] Microsoft was actually +[1724.74 --> 1725.48] thankful that all the +[1725.48 --> 1726.24] consoles were dying. +[1726.86 --> 1727.18] Yeah. +[1727.42 --> 1727.70] Yeah. +[1727.88 --> 1727.96] Yeah. +[1727.96 --> 1728.24] Exactly. +[1728.38 --> 1728.72] Don't worry +[1728.72 --> 1729.62] we ran the statistics +[1729.62 --> 1730.52] they can only run the Xbox +[1730.52 --> 1732.06] for 43.2 hours +[1732.06 --> 1732.92] before it red rings. +[1733.46 --> 1734.30] It will red ring. +[1734.64 --> 1735.24] Linus go back +[1735.24 --> 1736.26] and take care of your baby. +[1736.72 --> 1737.50] Get out of the chat. +[1737.62 --> 1738.44] Oh is he in here? +[1738.64 --> 1739.68] He's in the chat. +[1740.90 --> 1741.66] What a nerd. +[1741.68 --> 1742.18] Just ignore +[1742.18 --> 1742.74] just right click +[1742.74 --> 1743.34] and ignore him. +[1743.58 --> 1744.44] Like just get him out of here. +[1744.50 --> 1745.88] Large Linus is here today. +[1746.20 --> 1747.44] Linus needs to take care +[1747.44 --> 1748.52] of his spawn. +[1748.94 --> 1750.62] Go take care of your spawn Linus. +[1752.50 --> 1752.90] Yeah. +[1753.22 --> 1753.94] So like I said +[1753.94 --> 1754.90] there was the +[1754.90 --> 1756.22] there was the mouse +[1756.22 --> 1757.52] which had a lot of people +[1757.52 --> 1758.62] thinking that the +[1758.62 --> 1759.82] Halo Master Chiefs collection +[1759.82 --> 1761.00] was already coming to PC. +[1761.18 --> 1761.74] Just the mouse +[1761.74 --> 1762.66] made people think that. +[1763.00 --> 1763.72] And then when there was +[1763.72 --> 1764.46] the so and so +[1764.46 --> 1765.64] false posting on Amazon +[1765.64 --> 1766.26] it made people think +[1766.26 --> 1766.82] that even more. +[1766.94 --> 1767.80] So I don't know. +[1768.18 --> 1768.90] Hopefully it happens +[1768.90 --> 1770.38] but there's less than +[1770.38 --> 1771.70] no guarantee at this point. +[1772.42 --> 1773.24] I'm with you though. +[1773.30 --> 1774.36] I'm holding on to the conspiracy. +[1774.94 --> 1775.30] Me too. +[1775.48 --> 1776.50] It's not even that far away +[1776.50 --> 1777.52] so I won't even feel that bad +[1777.52 --> 1778.26] if it doesn't come true +[1778.26 --> 1780.02] because Gamescom and PAX +[1780.02 --> 1781.02] are both within +[1781.02 --> 1781.86] like a month. +[1782.34 --> 1783.24] Hey should we just +[1783.24 --> 1784.26] Half-Life 3 this thing +[1784.26 --> 1785.06] and just encourage everybody +[1785.06 --> 1786.08] to go create the confirmed +[1786.08 --> 1786.64] memes for it? +[1786.64 --> 1787.66] We're going to Half-Life 3 +[1787.66 --> 1788.84] but later on in the show. +[1789.10 --> 1789.60] Okay good. +[1789.80 --> 1790.54] That'll happen. +[1790.68 --> 1791.12] Trust me. +[1791.44 --> 1791.80] Okay. +[1791.94 --> 1792.72] Did you read this topic? +[1792.80 --> 1794.08] This seems right up your alley. +[1794.22 --> 1795.08] The cat caller +[1795.08 --> 1795.82] that searches for +[1795.82 --> 1797.06] vulnerable Wi-Fi hotspots? +[1798.08 --> 1798.44] No. +[1798.90 --> 1799.76] Do you know what +[1799.76 --> 1800.40] war driving is? +[1800.46 --> 1800.96] I'm assuming you know +[1800.96 --> 1801.18] war driving. +[1801.18 --> 1802.52] Oh dude I used to war drive. +[1802.84 --> 1804.00] Can I just tell you +[1804.00 --> 1804.96] just a really quick story? +[1805.08 --> 1805.28] Do it. +[1805.32 --> 1806.58] At one point I had a car PC. +[1806.72 --> 1807.34] I built a completely +[1807.34 --> 1808.34] custom car PC. +[1808.48 --> 1809.16] I'll post pictures. +[1809.26 --> 1810.22] I even fiberglass screen +[1810.22 --> 1810.94] in the dashboard. +[1811.18 --> 1812.04] Ran Windows XP. +[1812.22 --> 1814.10] Had a drawer in the trunk. +[1814.24 --> 1814.42] Everything. +[1814.56 --> 1815.54] Anyways I had a USB +[1815.54 --> 1816.84] wireless access point +[1816.84 --> 1817.52] that went up +[1817.52 --> 1818.46] that was on the rear deck. +[1818.46 --> 1819.64] And at one point +[1819.64 --> 1820.42] between Microsoft +[1820.42 --> 1821.46] and my house +[1821.46 --> 1822.82] I was able to set up +[1822.82 --> 1823.66] a route where I could +[1823.66 --> 1824.78] jump from one Wi-Fi +[1824.78 --> 1825.52] to another +[1825.52 --> 1826.72] between two access points +[1826.72 --> 1827.72] and seamlessly maintain +[1827.72 --> 1828.52] my internet connection +[1828.52 --> 1829.08] all the way home. +[1829.12 --> 1829.76] So I could stream +[1829.76 --> 1830.56] like YouTube, +[1830.78 --> 1831.60] music on Pandora, +[1831.72 --> 1832.38] everything with no +[1832.38 --> 1833.04] cellular signal +[1833.04 --> 1833.78] all the way from +[1833.78 --> 1834.26] the time I left +[1834.26 --> 1834.72] the parking lot +[1834.72 --> 1835.18] to the time I pulled +[1835.18 --> 1835.76] into my driveway. +[1835.96 --> 1836.72] Super beast. +[1836.88 --> 1838.14] I may or may not +[1838.14 --> 1838.90] have done that +[1838.90 --> 1840.02] when I used to work +[1840.02 --> 1841.28] somewhere and I did it +[1841.28 --> 1842.60] my drive between +[1842.60 --> 1843.38] home and there as well. +[1843.80 --> 1844.82] But yeah that's called +[1844.82 --> 1845.58] war driving. +[1845.74 --> 1846.70] So essentially you +[1846.70 --> 1847.76] used to drive +[1847.76 --> 1848.48] through an area, +[1848.92 --> 1850.62] bike, car, whatever +[1850.62 --> 1851.82] and have your laptop +[1851.82 --> 1852.90] pick up vulnerable +[1852.90 --> 1854.40] or completely +[1854.40 --> 1855.22] unencrypted +[1855.22 --> 1856.06] wireless networks +[1856.06 --> 1856.82] so that you can +[1856.82 --> 1858.56] create this like map +[1858.56 --> 1859.80] of insecure, +[1860.06 --> 1861.06] unsecure wireless networks +[1861.06 --> 1861.62] that you can connect +[1861.62 --> 1862.48] to along your way +[1862.48 --> 1863.26] to whatever route. +[1863.60 --> 1864.64] Or just gathering +[1864.64 --> 1865.46] information on a whole +[1865.46 --> 1866.44] bunch of potentially +[1866.44 --> 1867.46] vulnerable points. +[1867.84 --> 1868.84] So someone has +[1868.84 --> 1869.88] taken that idea +[1869.88 --> 1871.10] and adapted it +[1871.10 --> 1872.32] to a cat. +[1872.80 --> 1874.08] So he has +[1874.08 --> 1874.94] outfitted his cat +[1874.94 --> 1876.08] Coco with a +[1876.08 --> 1877.10] specially made collar +[1877.10 --> 1878.52] built from a Wi-Fi +[1878.52 --> 1880.00] card, a GPS module, +[1880.16 --> 1880.62] a battery, +[1880.90 --> 1882.28] and a spark cord chip. +[1882.28 --> 1882.62] Oh my god. +[1883.04 --> 1883.94] The device runs +[1883.94 --> 1884.58] custom software +[1884.58 --> 1885.00] that looks for +[1885.00 --> 1885.68] Wi-Fi signals +[1885.68 --> 1886.18] like we were just +[1886.18 --> 1887.18] saying and records +[1887.18 --> 1888.04] ones that are open +[1888.04 --> 1888.98] or poorly protected +[1888.98 --> 1890.06] with old encryption +[1890.06 --> 1891.94] like WEP which is +[1891.94 --> 1893.40] like useless at this +[1893.40 --> 1893.84] point in time +[1893.84 --> 1894.22] essentially. +[1894.82 --> 1895.68] So I thought that +[1895.68 --> 1896.10] was absolutely +[1896.10 --> 1896.74] fantastic. +[1897.32 --> 1898.80] There used to be +[1898.80 --> 1899.74] a database online +[1899.74 --> 1899.92] too. +[1900.00 --> 1900.50] I remember that +[1900.50 --> 1901.34] certain war dialing +[1901.34 --> 1902.08] software that you ran +[1902.08 --> 1902.38] would actually +[1902.38 --> 1902.94] upload at the +[1902.94 --> 1904.00] database so everybody +[1904.00 --> 1904.98] could search for +[1904.98 --> 1905.48] these unsecure +[1905.48 --> 1906.02] networks even +[1906.02 --> 1906.98] without identifying +[1906.98 --> 1907.48] them first. +[1907.94 --> 1908.32] Yeah, no, no, +[1908.34 --> 1909.20] that was a really +[1909.20 --> 1909.86] big deal but that's +[1909.86 --> 1910.74] clever to attach to +[1910.74 --> 1911.26] your cat and just +[1911.26 --> 1911.86] let them go roam +[1911.86 --> 1912.40] the neighborhood +[1912.40 --> 1913.46] and find you +[1913.46 --> 1913.86] networks. +[1914.04 --> 1914.80] That's pretty +[1914.80 --> 1915.14] hilarious. +[1915.30 --> 1915.60] And then you can +[1915.60 --> 1916.20] put a high gain +[1916.20 --> 1916.80] antenna on your +[1916.80 --> 1917.34] house and reach +[1917.34 --> 1917.96] out and grab +[1917.96 --> 1918.08] them. +[1920.38 --> 1921.02] I thought that +[1921.02 --> 1921.48] was kind of +[1921.48 --> 1921.76] funny. +[1922.46 --> 1923.48] It's just, I +[1923.48 --> 1924.18] think it's cool. +[1924.36 --> 1925.20] It maybe sucks for +[1925.20 --> 1925.60] people that don't +[1925.60 --> 1926.26] have secure networks +[1926.26 --> 1927.18] but I think it's a +[1927.18 --> 1927.96] cool little project. +[1928.24 --> 1928.84] I can't believe you +[1928.84 --> 1929.48] made that thing. +[1930.34 --> 1931.08] I think that would be +[1931.08 --> 1932.34] hilarious because you +[1932.34 --> 1933.38] can't map where your +[1933.38 --> 1934.16] cat goes to. +[1934.16 --> 1934.98] So you can see if +[1934.98 --> 1935.94] it has like a +[1935.94 --> 1936.80] secondary family. +[1937.42 --> 1937.58] Yeah. +[1937.58 --> 1938.12] If your chat's +[1938.12 --> 1938.76] cheating on you, +[1939.14 --> 1939.84] the cat is cheating +[1939.84 --> 1940.46] on you, maybe with +[1940.46 --> 1941.08] someone with very +[1941.08 --> 1942.04] insecure, crappy +[1942.04 --> 1942.54] Wi-Fi. +[1942.84 --> 1943.52] I don't think people +[1943.52 --> 1944.34] should be like jumping +[1944.34 --> 1945.04] on other people's +[1945.04 --> 1945.74] networks and stuff +[1945.74 --> 1946.70] like that but honestly +[1946.70 --> 1947.84] it's one of those +[1947.84 --> 1949.08] things where by +[1949.08 --> 1949.84] identifying the +[1949.84 --> 1950.42] network and getting +[1950.42 --> 1950.84] it out there, +[1950.90 --> 1951.58] hopefully it causes +[1951.58 --> 1952.20] them to close the +[1952.20 --> 1952.38] hole. +[1952.84 --> 1953.48] Like I remember +[1953.48 --> 1954.00] back in the day +[1954.00 --> 1954.64] people used to just +[1954.64 --> 1955.74] connect to unsecure +[1955.74 --> 1956.46] networks and find +[1956.46 --> 1957.26] shared printers on +[1957.26 --> 1957.84] your computer because +[1957.84 --> 1958.56] inside your house +[1958.56 --> 1959.00] you usually don't +[1959.00 --> 1959.66] secure your network. +[1959.90 --> 1960.28] A lot of people +[1960.28 --> 1961.04] didn't back in the +[1961.04 --> 1961.20] day. +[1961.62 --> 1962.70] So you'd be sitting +[1962.70 --> 1962.94] there and your +[1962.94 --> 1963.32] printer would just +[1963.32 --> 1964.30] be spitting out +[1964.30 --> 1964.80] sheets of paper +[1964.80 --> 1965.60] like, oh hey, +[1965.72 --> 1967.04] I'm printing this, +[1967.12 --> 1967.44] I'm printing this, +[1967.48 --> 1967.78] I'm on your +[1967.78 --> 1968.26] network, I'm on +[1968.26 --> 1968.50] your network. +[1968.58 --> 1968.76] And then they're +[1968.76 --> 1969.24] like, oh crap, +[1969.28 --> 1969.78] I better go figure +[1969.78 --> 1970.14] out what's going +[1970.14 --> 1970.44] on. +[1971.06 --> 1972.68] So at least sometimes +[1972.68 --> 1973.66] it helps them find +[1973.66 --> 1974.32] it or your cable +[1974.32 --> 1975.08] provider comes out +[1975.08 --> 1975.66] and goes, oh yeah, +[1975.80 --> 1976.38] you've been sharing +[1976.38 --> 1978.32] movies for like six +[1978.32 --> 1978.76] months off your +[1978.76 --> 1979.34] connection and this +[1979.34 --> 1980.08] little old lady's +[1980.08 --> 1980.58] like, what's a +[1980.58 --> 1981.28] share movie? +[1982.14 --> 1983.72] It's like, I don't +[1983.72 --> 1984.10] understand. +[1984.64 --> 1985.40] I don't know. +[1985.74 --> 1986.48] Oh my God, that's +[1986.48 --> 1987.26] priceless though, man. +[1987.36 --> 1988.40] I didn't read that. +[1988.48 --> 1989.16] That's awesome. +[1989.84 --> 1990.60] I don't know. +[1990.72 --> 1991.50] I used to, like I +[1991.50 --> 1992.00] said, I used to do +[1992.00 --> 1992.46] it back in the day, +[1992.48 --> 1993.18] but mostly what +[1993.18 --> 1993.68] you're going to get +[1993.68 --> 1994.66] is stuff like coffee +[1994.66 --> 1995.64] shops or whatever. +[1996.50 --> 1997.28] I don't know if +[1997.28 --> 1998.24] this is super common +[1998.24 --> 1999.42] in the States, but +[1999.42 --> 1999.96] one thing that's +[1999.96 --> 2000.72] pretty big up here, +[2000.76 --> 2002.24] at least in BC, is +[2002.24 --> 2002.96] different coffee shops +[2002.96 --> 2003.84] will have this thing +[2003.84 --> 2005.72] called Shaw Open. +[2006.00 --> 2006.64] Shaw is one of the +[2006.64 --> 2007.96] ISP providers and +[2007.96 --> 2008.88] they'll put routers +[2008.88 --> 2009.74] in these coffee shops +[2009.74 --> 2012.08] and secure them, but +[2012.08 --> 2012.84] they show up as +[2012.84 --> 2014.22] unsecured networks. +[2014.70 --> 2015.36] It's like the +[2015.36 --> 2016.58] browser login style. +[2018.10 --> 2018.98] That's really common +[2018.98 --> 2019.54] down here also. +[2019.64 --> 2020.02] I think even +[2020.02 --> 2020.94] Starbucks down here, +[2020.94 --> 2021.66] they give you +[2021.66 --> 2022.40] access, but you +[2022.40 --> 2022.82] have to go through +[2022.82 --> 2023.32] a webpage and +[2023.32 --> 2023.78] agree to their +[2023.78 --> 2024.40] terms of service +[2024.40 --> 2024.70] first. +[2024.82 --> 2025.80] Yeah, and that +[2025.80 --> 2026.68] would be super +[2026.68 --> 2028.86] annoying, but +[2028.86 --> 2031.32] oh well, too bad. +[2031.40 --> 2031.92] I did it when I +[2031.92 --> 2032.52] was still learning. +[2033.32 --> 2034.20] One thing that you +[2034.20 --> 2034.76] might be interested +[2034.76 --> 2036.58] in, actually, while +[2036.58 --> 2037.20] we're on the whole +[2037.20 --> 2038.20] programming learning +[2038.20 --> 2039.68] topic, is we +[2039.68 --> 2041.08] started filming a +[2041.08 --> 2042.94] Superfund today, but +[2042.94 --> 2044.06] as this week has +[2044.06 --> 2045.02] been pretty crazy, +[2045.44 --> 2046.40] and both the +[2046.40 --> 2047.14] editing and film +[2047.14 --> 2048.06] guys have no free +[2048.06 --> 2048.88] time because they're +[2048.88 --> 2049.88] drastically behind +[2049.88 --> 2052.24] catch up. +[2053.36 --> 2054.32] I had to think of +[2054.32 --> 2055.12] some way to do a +[2055.12 --> 2056.08] Superfund which +[2056.08 --> 2056.96] wouldn't take up a +[2056.96 --> 2057.90] ton of their time. +[2058.12 --> 2058.98] So I decided to +[2058.98 --> 2059.88] troll the absolute +[2059.88 --> 2061.06] crap out of +[2061.06 --> 2062.42] Terran, one of the +[2062.42 --> 2063.16] guys at our work, +[2063.58 --> 2064.38] and the way that I +[2064.38 --> 2065.24] did it was by using +[2065.24 --> 2066.66] a screen melter +[2066.66 --> 2067.06] program. +[2068.10 --> 2069.12] So I'm sure you +[2069.12 --> 2069.72] know about those. +[2070.10 --> 2070.32] Oh yeah. +[2070.52 --> 2071.28] And I was thinking +[2071.28 --> 2071.88] you might be able to +[2071.88 --> 2073.02] make a partner video +[2073.02 --> 2074.90] for our Superfund on +[2074.90 --> 2075.64] how to make one, +[2075.64 --> 2076.34] which I think would +[2076.34 --> 2076.86] be pretty cool, +[2077.24 --> 2078.22] with your, I don't +[2078.22 --> 2078.66] remember what it's +[2078.66 --> 2079.98] called, CodeCamp or +[2079.98 --> 2080.20] whatever. +[2080.98 --> 2081.30] Codegasm. +[2081.84 --> 2082.42] Codegasm, yeah. +[2082.66 --> 2083.22] So if you make a +[2083.22 --> 2083.96] Codegasm video that +[2083.96 --> 2084.90] goes along with the +[2084.90 --> 2085.74] Channel Superfund video, +[2085.80 --> 2086.26] you can show people +[2086.26 --> 2086.90] how to do it. +[2087.04 --> 2087.84] It's all about the +[2087.84 --> 2088.62] SEO, man. +[2088.68 --> 2089.04] It's like when you +[2089.04 --> 2090.06] put gasm on the end +[2090.06 --> 2090.96] of things, people run +[2090.96 --> 2092.26] into it on accident for +[2092.26 --> 2092.62] some reason. +[2092.72 --> 2093.26] I don't know why. +[2093.42 --> 2094.16] I don't know why +[2094.16 --> 2094.68] they would do that. +[2094.96 --> 2095.60] I don't know. +[2095.68 --> 2095.94] I don't know. +[2096.36 --> 2097.06] No, no, definitely +[2097.06 --> 2098.86] talk to me after the +[2098.86 --> 2098.98] show. +[2099.06 --> 2099.98] We can definitely do an +[2099.98 --> 2100.68] episode on how to +[2100.68 --> 2101.82] create prank apps because +[2101.82 --> 2103.08] I've probably created +[2103.08 --> 2104.02] hundreds of them over +[2104.02 --> 2104.96] the last 15 years at +[2104.96 --> 2106.30] Microsoft, and most of +[2106.30 --> 2106.70] them were pretty +[2106.70 --> 2107.58] successful because I +[2107.58 --> 2108.44] know all the little +[2108.44 --> 2109.22] nooks and crannies to +[2109.22 --> 2109.88] put things where people +[2109.88 --> 2110.36] can't find it. +[2111.20 --> 2112.02] That's fantastic. +[2112.38 --> 2113.48] I did it in a super +[2113.48 --> 2114.08] ghetto way. +[2114.20 --> 2115.22] I had a fairly elegant +[2115.22 --> 2116.02] way that I was planning +[2116.02 --> 2116.56] on doing it. +[2116.62 --> 2117.70] Because he's running a +[2117.70 --> 2118.40] hard drive in his +[2118.40 --> 2119.54] system, I put it on +[2119.54 --> 2120.62] the startup so that he +[2120.62 --> 2121.24] would hopefully turn +[2121.24 --> 2122.46] his computer on and +[2122.46 --> 2123.48] then sit there while +[2123.48 --> 2124.30] other things are +[2124.30 --> 2125.04] loading, and then all +[2125.04 --> 2125.46] of a sudden it would +[2125.46 --> 2126.28] just randomly happen, +[2126.38 --> 2127.74] at least in his eyes. +[2128.14 --> 2129.28] But he turned his +[2129.28 --> 2130.16] computer on knowing that +[2130.16 --> 2130.94] it had a hard drive and +[2130.94 --> 2132.24] just walked away because +[2132.24 --> 2132.96] it was going to take +[2132.96 --> 2133.82] so long to boot. +[2134.30 --> 2135.06] So I had to think of +[2135.06 --> 2135.68] some other way of +[2135.68 --> 2136.08] doing it. +[2136.22 --> 2137.22] So instead of setting +[2137.22 --> 2138.32] up a timer or anything +[2138.32 --> 2139.26] more elegant like that, +[2139.38 --> 2140.24] I just plugged a mouse +[2140.24 --> 2141.38] in and waited for him +[2141.38 --> 2141.94] to be using his +[2141.94 --> 2142.62] computer, and then I +[2142.62 --> 2143.86] launched it while he +[2143.86 --> 2145.12] was using his computer. +[2145.64 --> 2146.20] That's awesome. +[2146.46 --> 2147.42] I actually have a +[2147.42 --> 2148.14] program I want to +[2148.14 --> 2149.46] give you to go prank +[2149.46 --> 2150.54] somebody one time. +[2151.02 --> 2152.46] I called it Tourette's. +[2153.14 --> 2153.56] Don't, don't, don't. +[2153.64 --> 2154.10] I know what you're +[2154.10 --> 2154.46] talking about. +[2154.72 --> 2155.02] Don't. +[2155.32 --> 2156.54] Okay, I made this +[2156.54 --> 2156.90] program. +[2157.16 --> 2157.78] I'll go find the +[2157.78 --> 2158.54] source code for it and +[2158.54 --> 2158.94] send it to you. +[2159.00 --> 2159.46] It's priceless. +[2159.60 --> 2160.36] Okay, cool. +[2160.68 --> 2161.88] Well, I'll use that. +[2161.88 --> 2162.42] I just don't want +[2162.42 --> 2162.92] people to know what +[2162.92 --> 2163.46] it is yet. +[2165.46 --> 2166.62] It must be malicious. +[2166.94 --> 2167.66] I'll even show you how +[2167.66 --> 2168.24] to hide it so they +[2168.24 --> 2168.94] can't find it. +[2169.16 --> 2169.44] Perfect. +[2169.78 --> 2170.38] Let's see. +[2170.56 --> 2171.26] Oh my gosh. +[2171.34 --> 2171.76] Oh, continue. +[2172.20 --> 2172.82] Okay, okay. +[2172.82 --> 2173.22] We're going to move +[2173.22 --> 2173.38] on. +[2173.56 --> 2174.28] So we're going to get +[2174.28 --> 2177.12] to the topic that you +[2177.12 --> 2177.98] really didn't like, +[2178.22 --> 2180.12] but the NVIDIA physics +[2180.12 --> 2181.96] disabled when a non-NVIDIA +[2181.96 --> 2183.34] GPU is detected in your +[2183.34 --> 2183.70] system. +[2183.70 --> 2188.04] I just can't see the +[2188.04 --> 2188.80] reason for them doing +[2188.80 --> 2188.88] it. +[2188.88 --> 2189.54] I mean, the only, I +[2189.54 --> 2190.46] guess the only reason I +[2190.46 --> 2191.02] could see them wanting +[2191.02 --> 2191.78] to do something like +[2191.78 --> 2192.46] this is that they don't +[2192.46 --> 2193.32] want to be held liable +[2193.32 --> 2194.36] for bugs and stuff that +[2194.36 --> 2195.16] are exposed through the +[2195.16 --> 2196.02] incompatibility because +[2196.02 --> 2196.92] they don't own the whole +[2196.92 --> 2198.12] hardware ecosystem at that +[2198.12 --> 2198.36] point. +[2198.58 --> 2200.18] Their excuse is, uh, +[2200.20 --> 2201.26] NVIDIA says high quality +[2201.26 --> 2202.32] experience in such a +[2202.32 --> 2203.14] scenario cannot be +[2203.14 --> 2205.64] guaranteed, but guys, +[2205.90 --> 2206.36] come on. +[2206.42 --> 2206.94] People have been using +[2206.94 --> 2208.08] this for so long. +[2209.32 --> 2210.70] It was fine. +[2210.70 --> 2211.74] I've literally never +[2211.74 --> 2213.08] heard anyone complain +[2213.08 --> 2214.12] about it at all. +[2214.72 --> 2217.40] So no, I think it's +[2217.40 --> 2218.44] just a play to force +[2218.44 --> 2219.80] force upgrade to ATI. +[2220.04 --> 2221.72] I mean, yeah, like I +[2221.72 --> 2223.14] love you guys, but no, +[2223.58 --> 2224.48] so that this is coming +[2224.48 --> 2225.82] in, in NVIDIA's new +[2225.82 --> 2229.88] three, um, it's going +[2229.88 --> 2230.72] to be enabling shield +[2230.72 --> 2231.74] tablet features, but +[2231.74 --> 2232.42] it's also going to have +[2232.42 --> 2233.02] the feature where it +[2233.02 --> 2234.22] disables your physics +[2234.22 --> 2234.66] GPU. +[2234.92 --> 2236.32] So if you're trying to +[2236.32 --> 2238.26] run like a beast R9 +[2238.26 --> 2239.24] card and a little +[2239.24 --> 2240.22] NVIDIA card for physics, +[2240.22 --> 2241.48] maybe not going to +[2241.48 --> 2242.20] work anymore, or +[2242.20 --> 2242.62] you're going to have +[2242.62 --> 2243.76] to run older drivers, +[2243.86 --> 2244.62] which you can do. +[2244.68 --> 2245.20] Just make sure you +[2245.20 --> 2245.78] don't update your +[2245.78 --> 2246.82] drivers beyond that +[2246.82 --> 2248.44] for, for this to +[2248.44 --> 2248.66] work. +[2248.70 --> 2249.36] And then maybe you'll +[2249.36 --> 2250.02] run into problems in +[2250.02 --> 2250.58] the future, but at +[2250.58 --> 2251.12] least work for a +[2251.12 --> 2251.82] little while now. +[2252.44 --> 2254.70] Um, yeah, I don't +[2254.70 --> 2254.90] know. +[2254.94 --> 2256.24] Not, not cool. +[2256.70 --> 2257.62] I'm not super stoked +[2257.62 --> 2258.30] for this personally. +[2258.30 --> 2258.82] That's not the +[2258.82 --> 2259.62] scenario that I run, +[2259.68 --> 2260.48] but I do know people +[2260.48 --> 2261.80] personally that do run +[2261.80 --> 2262.92] this scenario and it +[2262.92 --> 2263.72] will affect them. +[2263.82 --> 2264.48] And obviously, like I +[2264.48 --> 2264.98] just said, they'll be +[2264.98 --> 2265.70] able to last for a +[2265.70 --> 2266.94] while by just not +[2266.94 --> 2268.42] upgrading their driver +[2268.42 --> 2269.06] software at all. +[2269.06 --> 2270.68] But that's going to +[2270.68 --> 2271.66] eventually not be a +[2271.66 --> 2272.60] very elegant solution. +[2273.22 --> 2273.68] Well, looking at it +[2273.68 --> 2274.20] from the marketing +[2274.20 --> 2275.32] standpoint, I mean, +[2275.44 --> 2276.98] obviously, if people +[2276.98 --> 2278.28] can get a good +[2278.28 --> 2279.44] physics experience from +[2279.44 --> 2280.42] a cheap little GPU +[2280.42 --> 2281.04] that's no longer +[2281.04 --> 2281.96] relevant or supported, +[2282.52 --> 2283.18] you know, that's not +[2283.18 --> 2284.18] good business for them. +[2284.32 --> 2284.84] You know, they want +[2284.84 --> 2286.02] you to run their +[2286.02 --> 2286.44] product. +[2286.44 --> 2288.28] So by cutting off the +[2288.28 --> 2289.00] competition and saying, +[2289.12 --> 2289.74] okay, you have to be +[2289.74 --> 2290.28] running NVIDIA +[2290.28 --> 2291.70] everything to get +[2291.70 --> 2292.50] physics, some of those +[2292.50 --> 2293.42] people may actually like +[2293.42 --> 2293.70] that. +[2293.78 --> 2294.52] That may be enough to, +[2294.72 --> 2295.48] you know, just put them +[2295.48 --> 2296.06] over the top. +[2296.40 --> 2296.62] Yeah. +[2296.72 --> 2297.60] And go get it. +[2301.36 --> 2302.40] So it's not going to +[2302.40 --> 2303.10] affect stuff like if you +[2303.10 --> 2303.86] have onboard Intel +[2303.86 --> 2304.58] chips or anything like +[2304.58 --> 2304.76] that. +[2304.80 --> 2305.34] So don't worry. +[2305.44 --> 2306.46] I saw one person in +[2306.46 --> 2306.84] the chat. +[2307.24 --> 2307.94] Forget about that. +[2308.12 --> 2309.28] It's just like dedicated +[2309.28 --> 2310.38] car differentials. +[2311.98 --> 2312.86] I don't know. +[2312.98 --> 2314.52] This is just not really +[2314.52 --> 2314.96] cool. +[2315.22 --> 2316.84] I can't say I'm surprised +[2316.84 --> 2319.34] to be honest, but I +[2319.34 --> 2320.30] didn't expect it. +[2321.02 --> 2321.24] I just. +[2321.52 --> 2322.60] Yeah, it just seems like +[2322.60 --> 2323.24] it seems like they +[2323.24 --> 2324.06] actually had to go out +[2324.06 --> 2324.66] of their way to like +[2324.66 --> 2326.70] disable the feature and +[2326.70 --> 2327.68] all the card was doing +[2327.68 --> 2328.58] was processing physics. +[2328.78 --> 2330.08] So was it really doing +[2330.08 --> 2331.04] any work with the other +[2331.04 --> 2331.42] GPU? +[2331.72 --> 2332.66] It doesn't sound like it +[2332.66 --> 2332.86] was. +[2332.90 --> 2333.36] It sounds like it was +[2333.36 --> 2333.88] just sitting there and +[2333.88 --> 2334.74] independently doing its +[2334.74 --> 2335.02] thing. +[2335.64 --> 2336.84] Yeah, I just jumped to +[2336.84 --> 2337.82] the Twitch chat and I +[2337.82 --> 2338.64] see some guy saying +[2338.64 --> 2339.86] AMD sucks with a +[2339.86 --> 2340.78] billion exclamation +[2340.78 --> 2341.68] marks and then someone +[2341.68 --> 2342.96] else saying NVIDIA is +[2342.96 --> 2344.26] for hipsters. +[2344.70 --> 2346.24] So good job, fanboys. +[2346.82 --> 2347.50] What an argument. +[2348.36 --> 2349.18] Fanboys, you are +[2349.18 --> 2350.14] holding up the internet. +[2350.30 --> 2351.16] You are single-handedly +[2351.16 --> 2351.90] holding up the internet +[2351.90 --> 2352.84] because without your +[2352.84 --> 2354.04] rewards, without your +[2354.04 --> 2355.06] wars, we'd have far too +[2355.06 --> 2355.76] much bandwidth to get +[2355.76 --> 2356.38] into other trouble. +[2356.78 --> 2357.56] You're the only reason +[2357.56 --> 2358.66] why your company is able +[2358.66 --> 2359.20] to exist. +[2359.30 --> 2360.22] So good job, fanboys. +[2361.82 --> 2362.78] Apparently from here on +[2362.78 --> 2363.96] out, any NVIDIA GPU that +[2363.96 --> 2364.86] runs PhysX will have to +[2364.86 --> 2366.64] be a GeForce 8 series or +[2366.64 --> 2367.56] later with a minimum of +[2367.56 --> 2369.10] 256 megabytes of memory. +[2369.40 --> 2370.74] So that's not exactly a +[2370.74 --> 2371.50] huge requirement. +[2371.78 --> 2372.58] No really big deal +[2372.58 --> 2372.88] there. +[2374.48 --> 2377.30] And yeah, I don't know +[2377.30 --> 2378.46] because that's when +[2378.46 --> 2379.64] NVIDIA introduced the +[2379.64 --> 2381.82] introduced CUDA. +[2381.82 --> 2383.82] That got fairly +[2383.82 --> 2385.36] uninteresting because there's +[2385.36 --> 2386.16] not a lot of information +[2386.16 --> 2386.88] other than they're just +[2386.88 --> 2387.60] going to make it stop +[2387.60 --> 2387.94] working. +[2388.20 --> 2389.38] And that's why I believe +[2389.38 --> 2390.52] that it's not, if it was a +[2390.52 --> 2391.48] technical hurdle and they +[2391.48 --> 2392.38] were like, we're rewriting +[2392.38 --> 2393.88] the whole stack for PhysX to +[2393.88 --> 2395.18] favor new features on later +[2395.18 --> 2396.32] generation processors or +[2396.32 --> 2396.94] something, that would make +[2396.94 --> 2397.26] sense. +[2397.66 --> 2397.80] Yeah. +[2397.82 --> 2398.42] But if they're just like, +[2398.46 --> 2399.84] yeah, we're turning it off. +[2400.26 --> 2401.34] That's more of like, we're +[2401.34 --> 2401.68] sad. +[2401.94 --> 2403.08] We're sad that people out +[2403.08 --> 2403.86] there are like trying to use +[2403.86 --> 2405.02] ATI and NVIDIA and it's +[2405.02 --> 2406.16] like ruining our whole fanboy +[2406.16 --> 2406.60] campaign. +[2407.22 --> 2407.48] Yeah. +[2407.88 --> 2409.04] Apparently they are working +[2409.04 --> 2410.78] on a resolution for PhysX +[2410.78 --> 2412.66] issues with AMD APUs. +[2413.12 --> 2414.34] So we'll see what happens +[2414.34 --> 2414.62] there. +[2414.62 --> 2415.94] So the APU will be a +[2415.94 --> 2416.56] supported scenario? +[2417.16 --> 2419.02] I think maybe that's like an +[2419.02 --> 2419.72] eventuality. +[2419.88 --> 2420.46] I think it might be a +[2420.46 --> 2421.90] problem right now, but they +[2421.90 --> 2422.92] do say they are working +[2422.92 --> 2423.30] with it. +[2423.36 --> 2424.22] So hopefully that happens. +[2424.70 --> 2425.38] And then here's your +[2425.38 --> 2427.62] Half-Life 3 rumors thing, +[2428.40 --> 2429.28] which we'll do before we +[2429.28 --> 2429.86] jump into. +[2430.66 --> 2431.58] Have you seen all the +[2431.58 --> 2432.34] tweets I've been sending +[2432.34 --> 2433.40] out for like the last three +[2433.40 --> 2433.74] weeks? +[2433.94 --> 2435.38] All the Half-Life 3 stuff +[2435.38 --> 2436.26] photoshopping? +[2436.92 --> 2437.62] So we're going to give you +[2437.62 --> 2438.84] some more fodder for that +[2438.84 --> 2439.22] fire. +[2439.76 --> 2440.04] Yes. +[2440.82 --> 2442.04] Give me one quick second. +[2442.24 --> 2442.52] All right. +[2442.56 --> 2444.14] If I jump over here, source +[2444.14 --> 2446.36] two found in files. +[2446.82 --> 2448.02] I have a picture here, +[2448.02 --> 2449.14] which you guys totally +[2449.14 --> 2449.94] aren't going to be able to +[2449.94 --> 2451.28] see at all because screen +[2451.28 --> 2453.18] sharing is not working at +[2453.18 --> 2453.62] all. +[2454.82 --> 2456.48] It's a square, dark gray +[2456.48 --> 2457.76] window with some white text +[2457.76 --> 2458.02] in it. +[2458.10 --> 2458.72] I'm just trying to help. +[2459.64 --> 2460.30] Good work. +[2460.40 --> 2460.78] Good work. +[2460.86 --> 2461.52] I appreciate it. +[2461.66 --> 2462.26] I'm not going to have time +[2462.26 --> 2463.72] to open up the dock, but +[2463.72 --> 2465.36] essentially it's a picture +[2465.36 --> 2468.28] of the directory set up +[2468.28 --> 2469.84] for, oh, can I get a link +[2469.84 --> 2470.34] from this? +[2470.88 --> 2471.88] Is that possible? +[2472.98 --> 2473.38] No. +[2473.76 --> 2474.64] Give me a quick second. +[2474.84 --> 2475.48] Do, do, do, do, do. +[2476.02 --> 2477.18] I will post something in +[2477.18 --> 2477.60] the chat. +[2478.06 --> 2478.76] So I'm going to post the +[2478.76 --> 2479.88] original thread, which is +[2479.88 --> 2481.66] by lots of unexplainable +[2481.66 --> 2483.74] lag, which is a fantastic +[2483.74 --> 2485.64] name, I have to say. +[2486.32 --> 2486.98] Do, do, do, do. +[2487.12 --> 2487.38] Okay. +[2487.46 --> 2488.48] So I just spammed that in +[2488.48 --> 2488.84] the chat. +[2488.90 --> 2489.56] If you're watching the +[2489.56 --> 2490.70] VOD of this, you'll be +[2490.70 --> 2491.34] able to see it in the +[2491.34 --> 2493.06] description down below, +[2493.06 --> 2494.56] hopefully, or you'll be +[2494.56 --> 2495.90] able to jump to the dock +[2495.90 --> 2497.24] on the forum, which +[2497.24 --> 2497.98] you'll, well, you'll be +[2497.98 --> 2498.82] able to see the dock in +[2498.82 --> 2499.64] the description down +[2499.64 --> 2500.40] below, and then you'll +[2500.40 --> 2501.04] be able to go to the +[2501.04 --> 2502.50] dock, which will show you +[2502.50 --> 2503.42] the link, which is on the +[2503.42 --> 2503.66] forum. +[2503.92 --> 2504.42] There we go. +[2504.68 --> 2505.50] That was a whole bunch +[2505.50 --> 2505.88] of jumps. +[2506.20 --> 2507.32] But essentially, someone +[2507.32 --> 2508.76] found it in a Source 2 +[2508.76 --> 2510.24] directory, because that's +[2510.24 --> 2511.14] the most hidden way they +[2511.14 --> 2511.94] could have possibly done +[2511.94 --> 2514.30] it, which came with a big +[2514.30 --> 2515.90] update for Dota 2's SDK, +[2516.14 --> 2516.96] which is called Hammer. +[2517.84 --> 2518.84] Many are speculating that +[2518.84 --> 2520.84] it's actually Source 2 as a +[2520.84 --> 2522.16] soft launch instead of a +[2522.16 --> 2524.02] hard launch, and Valve has +[2524.02 --> 2524.82] stated that this is a +[2524.82 --> 2526.14] developer-focused release +[2526.14 --> 2528.04] and currently has high +[2528.04 --> 2529.02] system requirements. +[2529.30 --> 2531.84] So not denying it, which +[2531.84 --> 2533.44] is fantastic, because that +[2533.44 --> 2534.58] does sound like it could be +[2534.58 --> 2535.84] a soft launch, just so +[2535.84 --> 2536.90] people can tinker with it +[2536.90 --> 2537.82] before they actually hard +[2537.82 --> 2538.72] launch it later on. +[2539.48 --> 2541.72] All the files would share a +[2541.72 --> 2542.66] name with Source Engine, +[2542.90 --> 2544.32] and they also are qualified +[2544.32 --> 2545.12] with the number 2. +[2545.52 --> 2548.18] So as you guys can see in +[2548.18 --> 2548.84] there, maybe... +[2549.42 --> 2550.22] Well, let's be honest, +[2550.22 --> 2551.38] you do have to check to +[2551.38 --> 2552.66] include hidden objects to +[2552.66 --> 2554.36] see it, so, you know... +[2554.36 --> 2554.96] Whoa! +[2555.20 --> 2556.54] So not everybody's going to +[2556.54 --> 2557.42] be able to just find this. +[2557.48 --> 2558.16] I mean, only the true +[2558.16 --> 2558.90] hacks are... +[2558.90 --> 2560.86] I run that by default. +[2561.74 --> 2563.74] So, I guess I'm pretty +[2563.74 --> 2564.34] badass. +[2564.70 --> 2565.42] I don't know, not really. +[2567.34 --> 2569.24] Yeah, it's... +[2569.24 --> 2570.14] Gabe Newell said, +[2570.26 --> 2571.30] we've been working... +[2571.30 --> 2572.48] we've been waiting for a +[2572.48 --> 2574.34] game to roll it, Source 2, +[2574.58 --> 2576.12] out with, and he also said +[2576.12 --> 2577.50] that it's a new engine +[2577.50 --> 2578.52] altogether, not a mere +[2578.52 --> 2579.62] extension of the existing +[2579.62 --> 2580.42] Source technology. +[2580.82 --> 2582.00] So that's probably why +[2582.00 --> 2583.22] you're seeing that folder. +[2583.36 --> 2584.38] They've updated Hammer +[2584.38 --> 2587.36] with this possibly Source 2 +[2587.36 --> 2588.78] stuff so that they can +[2588.78 --> 2589.80] roll it out later on. +[2590.00 --> 2590.80] I think this is pretty +[2590.80 --> 2593.00] interesting because that +[2593.00 --> 2593.94] means we have another +[2593.94 --> 2595.52] thing that's on the 2 +[2595.52 --> 2596.36] nomenclature. +[2598.54 --> 2600.24] We will eventually get a +[2600.24 --> 2601.32] title that is 3, and it +[2601.32 --> 2602.02] will be Half-Life. +[2602.28 --> 2603.14] I just don't know when. +[2603.14 --> 2603.86] But the most brilliant +[2603.86 --> 2604.58] thing would be is if +[2604.58 --> 2605.78] Half-Life 3 ran on the +[2605.78 --> 2606.62] Source 2 engine. +[2606.62 --> 2609.96] That would be awesome. +[2611.04 --> 2611.76] They're just like, no, +[2611.92 --> 2612.88] we will not release a +[2612.88 --> 2613.70] series of 3s. +[2614.14 --> 2615.42] What I'm kind of hoping +[2615.42 --> 2617.04] is that this is, again, +[2617.30 --> 2618.18] something that's happening +[2618.18 --> 2619.64] pre-Gamescom and PAX +[2619.64 --> 2619.90] Prime. +[2620.68 --> 2622.38] So hopefully they go, +[2622.46 --> 2623.82] hey, yeah, Source 2 +[2623.82 --> 2624.90] at Gamescom and PAX +[2624.90 --> 2626.16] Prime, even though this +[2626.16 --> 2627.14] definitely isn't, like, +[2627.16 --> 2628.56] a very official announcement +[2628.56 --> 2629.12] as someone just +[2629.12 --> 2629.98] randomly found it. +[2630.22 --> 2631.38] And this I would believe +[2631.38 --> 2632.80] even more than the +[2632.80 --> 2633.92] Microsoft Halo thing, +[2633.96 --> 2634.74] which I'm just choosing +[2634.74 --> 2635.84] to believe because +[2635.84 --> 2637.26] they're not denying it. +[2637.94 --> 2638.86] They're saying it's +[2638.86 --> 2639.48] new stuff. +[2639.68 --> 2640.38] They're just saying it's +[2640.38 --> 2641.22] for developers and it +[2641.22 --> 2641.76] has high system +[2641.76 --> 2642.66] requirements currently. +[2643.06 --> 2643.90] So maybe it needs more +[2643.90 --> 2644.52] optimizations. +[2644.76 --> 2645.64] Maybe it needs to be +[2645.64 --> 2646.74] tinkered with some more. +[2648.34 --> 2649.14] But it's... +[2649.14 --> 2650.42] Well, from a software +[2650.42 --> 2651.38] developer perspective, +[2651.58 --> 2652.54] too, chances are if the +[2652.54 --> 2654.40] engine's in an earlier +[2654.40 --> 2655.26] stage like this, it's +[2655.26 --> 2656.58] probably debug code. +[2656.70 --> 2657.90] So it's probably heavily, +[2657.94 --> 2660.18] heavily filled with lots +[2660.18 --> 2660.98] of additional code that +[2660.98 --> 2661.80] just gets cut out for the +[2661.80 --> 2662.28] final product. +[2662.52 --> 2663.32] But they need that code to +[2663.32 --> 2664.32] find all the bugs early on. +[2664.32 --> 2665.12] That makes sense. +[2665.24 --> 2666.04] And that's probably it. +[2666.56 --> 2668.50] So it's probably going to +[2668.50 --> 2669.20] be much more streamlined +[2669.20 --> 2670.20] later on, which is great. +[2670.32 --> 2671.52] So this is interesting and +[2671.52 --> 2673.06] cool because every single +[2673.06 --> 2673.66] time that there's a +[2673.66 --> 2675.52] Source update, so many +[2675.52 --> 2677.24] games just get better. +[2677.76 --> 2678.46] It used to be the +[2678.46 --> 2679.08] Unreal Engine. +[2679.20 --> 2680.44] It still kind of is, but +[2680.44 --> 2682.36] definitely Source at this +[2682.36 --> 2683.40] point in time will ramp up +[2683.40 --> 2684.70] a whole bunch of stuff. +[2685.80 --> 2686.52] Now we're going to +[2686.52 --> 2687.78] actually jump to sponsors +[2687.78 --> 2689.24] real quick, which I'm +[2689.24 --> 2689.90] terrible at doing +[2689.90 --> 2690.62] sponsor spots. +[2690.96 --> 2692.28] But apparently when we +[2692.28 --> 2693.40] have horrible sponsor +[2693.40 --> 2695.24] spots, it's fine. +[2695.62 --> 2696.72] So let me see if I can +[2696.72 --> 2697.06] do this. +[2697.30 --> 2697.76] I think I'm going to +[2697.76 --> 2699.10] have to re-grab you +[2699.10 --> 2700.58] because I don't think +[2700.58 --> 2701.20] you're going to be here. +[2701.50 --> 2701.80] Nope. +[2702.28 --> 2702.64] Crap. +[2703.08 --> 2703.50] All right. +[2703.58 --> 2704.12] Give me a second. +[2704.80 --> 2705.60] We're going to grab you +[2705.60 --> 2705.92] again. +[2706.74 --> 2708.28] Not in that way. +[2708.42 --> 2709.02] Settle down. +[2709.88 --> 2710.64] I was just getting +[2710.64 --> 2711.30] excited too. +[2711.40 --> 2711.62] No. +[2712.12 --> 2712.24] No. +[2712.40 --> 2712.76] Aw. +[2713.26 --> 2713.56] Okay. +[2713.64 --> 2714.28] So you're a little bit +[2714.28 --> 2715.38] smaller than you should be. +[2715.54 --> 2716.28] I thought that was like a +[2716.28 --> 2717.26] Canadian handshake, like +[2717.26 --> 2718.06] just grabbing people? +[2718.34 --> 2720.32] Just minor molestation. +[2720.48 --> 2721.40] That's Canadian handshakes. +[2722.08 --> 2723.90] So we're starting with +[2723.90 --> 2725.62] 5-4 Club, whose shirt I'm +[2725.62 --> 2726.50] currently wearing. +[2726.70 --> 2728.04] This one fits better than +[2728.04 --> 2729.00] the other one, which some +[2729.00 --> 2729.92] people have pointed out. +[2730.18 --> 2731.24] That's just because I have +[2731.24 --> 2732.88] large pectoral muscles, or +[2732.88 --> 2733.74] at least I would like to +[2733.74 --> 2734.06] believe. +[2734.40 --> 2735.84] So we're doing 5-4 +[2735.84 --> 2736.28] giveaways. +[2736.40 --> 2737.02] We've been doing this for +[2737.02 --> 2737.66] quite a while. +[2738.04 --> 2739.72] You can enter to win in +[2739.72 --> 2740.74] multiple different ways. +[2740.86 --> 2742.54] One is by liking an +[2742.54 --> 2744.30] Instagram picture, which I +[2744.30 --> 2745.54] will post in the Twitch +[2745.54 --> 2747.30] chat right now. +[2747.30 --> 2749.54] I liked an Instagram +[2749.54 --> 2750.28] picture once. +[2751.00 --> 2751.40] Once? +[2751.62 --> 2752.38] Was it exciting? +[2752.90 --> 2753.70] It was very exciting. +[2754.00 --> 2755.14] Is that the only one you've +[2755.14 --> 2755.56] ever liked? +[2755.90 --> 2756.94] No, I've liked a lot of +[2756.94 --> 2757.06] them. +[2757.22 --> 2758.16] I'm sorry I lied to you +[2758.16 --> 2758.26] now. +[2758.28 --> 2758.74] I feel bad. +[2758.98 --> 2759.30] Okay. +[2759.30 --> 2760.36] So you cheated on that +[2760.36 --> 2761.14] one Instagram picture? +[2761.22 --> 2761.84] I did. +[2762.18 --> 2762.68] Oh, geez. +[2763.16 --> 2763.84] That's embarrassing. +[2764.24 --> 2765.24] Anyways, you also have to +[2765.24 --> 2766.32] follow 5-4. +[2766.42 --> 2767.62] It's just at 5-4 on +[2767.62 --> 2768.00] Instagram. +[2768.52 --> 2770.00] And comment hashtag +[2770.00 --> 2770.92] Linus Tech Tips. +[2771.86 --> 2773.54] And just say something +[2773.54 --> 2773.98] cool. +[2773.98 --> 2776.16] And we put into a draw, +[2776.28 --> 2776.92] which we drawed on +[2776.92 --> 2778.72] one day to win a 5-4 +[2778.72 --> 2779.32] package. +[2779.52 --> 2780.42] Just so you guys know, +[2780.48 --> 2781.14] if you want to sign up +[2781.14 --> 2782.64] for 5-4, it costs 60 +[2782.64 --> 2783.38] bucks a month, but you +[2783.38 --> 2784.94] get $120 a month worth +[2784.94 --> 2786.52] of stuff like this +[2786.52 --> 2786.82] shirt. +[2787.02 --> 2787.92] You have to go through +[2787.92 --> 2788.80] like a stylistic +[2788.80 --> 2790.02] profiling thing where +[2790.02 --> 2790.98] they profile you, but +[2790.98 --> 2791.84] not your psychology. +[2792.06 --> 2792.74] They profile what you +[2792.74 --> 2793.78] like to wear, which +[2793.78 --> 2794.80] could be a part of +[2794.80 --> 2795.26] psychology. +[2795.64 --> 2796.40] I don't really know. +[2796.96 --> 2797.90] Someone's calling me. +[2798.02 --> 2798.88] Let me see who it is. +[2798.88 --> 2800.50] Hello? +[2801.72 --> 2802.08] Hi. +[2802.92 --> 2803.78] This is Luke. +[2804.00 --> 2804.26] Yep. +[2805.10 --> 2805.36] Hi. +[2805.42 --> 2805.84] It doesn't sound like +[2805.84 --> 2806.30] you for a second. +[2806.66 --> 2807.94] Just a reminder that +[2807.94 --> 2809.64] either Saturday or Sunday +[2809.64 --> 2810.72] is your brother's birthday. +[2810.88 --> 2811.38] I'm not sure. +[2811.44 --> 2812.40] Is it the 9th today? +[2812.88 --> 2813.64] Yeah, I'm hanging out +[2813.64 --> 2814.36] with Richard on Saturday. +[2814.48 --> 2814.92] You're on the show, +[2814.98 --> 2815.30] by the way. +[2816.66 --> 2817.82] No, I am not. +[2817.98 --> 2818.58] Yeah, you are. +[2818.76 --> 2819.72] You totally are. +[2819.98 --> 2821.06] Well, tell everybody +[2821.06 --> 2821.96] I say hi. +[2822.52 --> 2823.28] We can hear you. +[2823.28 --> 2824.48] They can hear you. +[2824.58 --> 2825.32] You're on speakerphone. +[2825.32 --> 2827.52] Hi, Bonnie, please. +[2827.88 --> 2828.32] Hi. +[2828.94 --> 2830.02] He says hi. +[2830.88 --> 2831.54] All right. +[2831.66 --> 2832.26] I'm going to let you +[2832.26 --> 2832.90] get back at it. +[2832.98 --> 2833.46] I'm sorry. +[2833.62 --> 2833.96] I forgot. +[2834.30 --> 2835.08] No problem. +[2835.18 --> 2835.64] Bye, Mom. +[2836.20 --> 2836.60] Bye. +[2838.54 --> 2839.66] Calls during the +[2839.66 --> 2840.74] sponsor spot. +[2840.92 --> 2841.34] Fantastic. +[2842.00 --> 2842.26] Awesome. +[2842.60 --> 2842.94] That was awesome. +[2842.94 --> 2843.76] 5-4 likes partially +[2843.76 --> 2844.90] screwed up integration, +[2845.12 --> 2845.72] so whatever. +[2846.24 --> 2847.20] Maybe your mom wants +[2847.20 --> 2847.80] You know what? +[2847.82 --> 2849.06] You probably are not +[2849.06 --> 2849.84] that great at clothing +[2849.84 --> 2850.16] yourself. +[2850.42 --> 2851.34] Sorry if you are. +[2851.44 --> 2852.14] I'm not, though. +[2852.14 --> 2853.18] So I could probably +[2853.18 --> 2854.56] gain from 5-4 Club. +[2854.56 --> 2856.00] And I know my mom +[2856.00 --> 2856.76] would probably appreciate +[2856.76 --> 2857.34] it if I did, +[2857.44 --> 2858.16] because I still have +[2858.16 --> 2859.22] I'm wearing shorts +[2859.22 --> 2860.10] that she literally +[2860.10 --> 2860.70] bought for me +[2860.70 --> 2861.44] in grade 8. +[2861.90 --> 2862.44] Yeah, let's hear you +[2862.44 --> 2862.98] say that again +[2862.98 --> 2863.72] after seeing this. +[2864.34 --> 2864.82] That's actually +[2864.82 --> 2865.52] kind of fantastic. +[2865.60 --> 2866.12] Yeah, it is. +[2866.18 --> 2866.90] I just can't clothe +[2866.90 --> 2867.24] myself. +[2867.36 --> 2867.92] Come on, dude. +[2868.10 --> 2868.78] I can't. +[2868.84 --> 2869.70] So I just assume +[2869.70 --> 2870.66] everyone else can. +[2870.76 --> 2871.10] You know what? +[2871.14 --> 2871.76] Maybe you can. +[2871.82 --> 2872.26] I'm sorry. +[2872.54 --> 2873.02] I haven't bought +[2873.02 --> 2874.00] months, dude. +[2874.00 --> 2875.24] Every shirt I get +[2875.24 --> 2875.80] is just clicking +[2875.80 --> 2876.46] a button online +[2876.46 --> 2877.26] and it gets mailed to me. +[2877.76 --> 2878.16] This is going to +[2878.16 --> 2878.84] sound terrible, +[2879.00 --> 2879.58] but every single time +[2879.58 --> 2880.38] I get a new girlfriend, +[2880.58 --> 2881.94] I go up in clothing +[2881.94 --> 2883.26] because I get frustrated +[2883.26 --> 2884.12] by the clothes. +[2884.12 --> 2885.34] Where they buy me +[2885.34 --> 2885.80] new clothes. +[2888.34 --> 2889.02] Oh, that's +[2889.02 --> 2890.38] an interesting +[2890.38 --> 2891.46] girlfriend. +[2892.28 --> 2892.64] Horrible, +[2892.88 --> 2893.60] but it's not +[2893.60 --> 2894.28] actually a good thing. +[2894.38 --> 2895.06] Okay, moving on. +[2895.16 --> 2895.84] It takes you about +[2895.84 --> 2896.72] a minute or less +[2896.72 --> 2897.28] to actually set up +[2897.28 --> 2897.92] your style profile. +[2898.04 --> 2898.50] You essentially +[2898.50 --> 2899.52] go through and it's +[2899.52 --> 2900.18] like, what do you like? +[2900.46 --> 2901.24] What one of these +[2901.24 --> 2901.72] would you like? +[2901.74 --> 2902.38] And you pick like +[2902.38 --> 2903.20] one pair of shoes +[2903.20 --> 2904.14] or one shirt or whatever +[2904.14 --> 2905.60] and then it'll tailor +[2905.60 --> 2906.74] your shipments +[2906.74 --> 2907.50] to that kind of +[2907.50 --> 2908.76] style of clothing. +[2909.10 --> 2909.92] Pretty cool. +[2910.04 --> 2910.74] If you sign up right now +[2910.74 --> 2911.26] with offer code +[2911.26 --> 2912.08] Linus, you get $15 +[2912.08 --> 2913.86] off your first month +[2913.86 --> 2914.60] and they have +[2914.60 --> 2915.48] a friend referral program +[2915.48 --> 2916.66] where if you refer someone +[2916.66 --> 2917.26] you get $15 +[2917.26 --> 2919.18] off of your next month's +[2919.18 --> 2920.84] membership as well. +[2921.46 --> 2922.64] Then next up +[2922.64 --> 2923.74] we have, +[2923.84 --> 2924.28] I'm going to have to +[2924.28 --> 2924.92] fix it again +[2924.92 --> 2925.46] because it's going to be +[2925.46 --> 2925.96] broken again. +[2926.08 --> 2926.56] I'm going to give that +[2926.56 --> 2927.50] service a try actually. +[2927.58 --> 2928.06] I like that +[2928.06 --> 2929.38] because every other +[2929.38 --> 2930.34] subscription service +[2930.34 --> 2930.88] I've done, +[2931.04 --> 2931.72] you already know +[2931.72 --> 2932.10] what's coming. +[2932.20 --> 2932.66] I'd like to just +[2932.66 --> 2933.30] get surprised. +[2934.08 --> 2934.88] Yeah, I think the +[2934.88 --> 2936.76] whole idea of 5-4 Club +[2936.76 --> 2938.20] is that you can be +[2938.20 --> 2939.18] the biggest, +[2939.54 --> 2940.46] laziest person +[2940.46 --> 2941.12] ever +[2941.12 --> 2942.02] and they'll just +[2942.02 --> 2942.68] take care of +[2942.68 --> 2943.24] everything, +[2943.48 --> 2944.12] which is fantastic +[2944.12 --> 2945.04] because you know +[2945.04 --> 2945.16] what? +[2945.22 --> 2946.10] I actually don't mind +[2946.10 --> 2946.84] going shopping with +[2946.84 --> 2947.84] people for them +[2947.84 --> 2948.62] but I don't like +[2948.62 --> 2949.54] shopping for myself. +[2949.96 --> 2950.66] I'm the same way. +[2951.00 --> 2951.78] I can help people +[2951.78 --> 2952.68] pick things out +[2952.68 --> 2953.58] but if I'm shopping +[2953.58 --> 2954.02] for myself, +[2954.10 --> 2954.42] I'm just going to be +[2954.42 --> 2954.56] like, +[2954.64 --> 2955.48] I'm bored. +[2955.72 --> 2956.06] I don't want to do +[2956.06 --> 2956.24] this. +[2956.32 --> 2956.82] I went and bought +[2956.82 --> 2958.30] two pairs of +[2958.30 --> 2958.90] tailored jeans +[2958.90 --> 2959.90] once in my entire +[2959.90 --> 2961.16] life and it was +[2961.16 --> 2961.90] like the most horrible +[2961.90 --> 2962.78] experience ever. +[2962.96 --> 2963.18] It's like, +[2963.24 --> 2964.20] some people like that. +[2964.26 --> 2964.40] It's like, +[2964.42 --> 2964.66] oh, here, +[2964.72 --> 2965.36] have some water. +[2965.48 --> 2965.78] We're going to +[2965.78 --> 2966.74] tailor your jeans. +[2967.00 --> 2968.06] I can't stand it. +[2968.14 --> 2968.50] It's like, +[2968.50 --> 2969.10] I just want to go +[2969.10 --> 2969.68] buy them and cuff +[2969.68 --> 2970.16] them up and say, +[2970.22 --> 2970.56] screw it. +[2972.62 --> 2973.34] Exactly, yeah. +[2974.06 --> 2974.36] All right, +[2974.44 --> 2975.10] so jumping up to +[2975.10 --> 2975.78] lynda.com. +[2975.86 --> 2976.42] Quite a few people +[2976.42 --> 2977.08] in the office use +[2977.08 --> 2977.28] this. +[2977.38 --> 2978.00] I've used it in the +[2978.00 --> 2978.94] past and I currently +[2978.94 --> 2979.34] use it. +[2979.64 --> 2980.18] My mom, +[2980.34 --> 2981.04] speaking of which, +[2981.30 --> 2982.34] has used it to try +[2982.34 --> 2983.10] and learn Excel. +[2984.52 --> 2984.84] Taryn, +[2984.96 --> 2985.56] one of our editors, +[2985.70 --> 2986.26] has gained a whole +[2986.26 --> 2986.74] bunch of editing +[2986.74 --> 2987.52] skills by learning +[2987.52 --> 2989.20] them on lynda.com. +[2989.28 --> 2989.98] You can learn tons +[2989.98 --> 2990.90] of stuff and one +[2990.90 --> 2991.32] thing that I +[2991.32 --> 2992.10] actually suggested +[2992.10 --> 2992.34] for, +[2992.42 --> 2992.92] which is interesting +[2992.92 --> 2993.54] because Jerry's +[2993.54 --> 2993.96] on the stream, +[2994.20 --> 2995.36] is learning programming. +[2995.36 --> 2996.58] I've talked to +[2996.58 --> 2997.40] tons of people +[2997.40 --> 2998.28] that want to get +[2998.28 --> 2998.80] into programming +[2998.80 --> 2999.48] that are in high +[2999.48 --> 3000.30] school that are +[3000.30 --> 3000.52] like, +[3000.68 --> 3000.94] yeah, +[3001.32 --> 3002.06] my course is +[3002.06 --> 3002.66] really boring. +[3003.02 --> 3004.16] Is it a video-based +[3004.16 --> 3004.72] service too? +[3005.30 --> 3005.88] Like video learning? +[3006.42 --> 3007.70] Because that's like, +[3007.82 --> 3008.18] honestly, +[3008.44 --> 3009.36] most of all the +[3009.36 --> 3010.10] coding knowledge +[3010.10 --> 3010.76] that I have +[3010.76 --> 3011.58] is from taking +[3011.58 --> 3012.42] video, +[3012.54 --> 3013.54] like current coding +[3013.54 --> 3014.14] knowledge is from +[3014.14 --> 3014.78] video courses +[3014.78 --> 3015.72] that I've taken +[3015.72 --> 3016.12] over the course +[3016.12 --> 3016.66] of many years +[3016.66 --> 3017.60] because you can +[3017.60 --> 3018.12] slow them down, +[3018.20 --> 3018.74] you can speed them +[3018.74 --> 3018.94] up, +[3018.98 --> 3019.50] you can play them +[3019.50 --> 3019.82] back, +[3019.86 --> 3020.16] you can keep +[3020.16 --> 3020.58] going back. +[3020.68 --> 3020.76] I mean, +[3020.82 --> 3021.54] it's honestly +[3021.54 --> 3021.98] the best way +[3021.98 --> 3022.30] to learn. +[3023.10 --> 3024.22] It's great. +[3024.34 --> 3025.12] I love lynda.com. +[3025.12 --> 3025.46] I've, +[3025.88 --> 3026.66] and like the reason +[3026.66 --> 3027.28] why I suggest it +[3027.28 --> 3028.66] to people in high +[3028.66 --> 3029.50] school still is +[3029.50 --> 3030.04] because tons of +[3030.04 --> 3030.42] people aren't +[3030.42 --> 3031.06] challenged by the +[3031.06 --> 3031.80] high school programs +[3031.80 --> 3032.24] and you can go +[3032.24 --> 3033.42] on lynda.com and +[3033.42 --> 3034.48] learn freaking +[3034.48 --> 3035.26] anything. +[3035.54 --> 3036.14] Like I've said, +[3036.24 --> 3036.94] they have thousands +[3036.94 --> 3037.58] of courses and +[3037.58 --> 3038.02] they're adding new +[3038.02 --> 3038.52] ones every single +[3038.52 --> 3040.10] week and programming +[3040.10 --> 3040.64] is one of their +[3040.64 --> 3041.48] main sections. +[3041.74 --> 3042.06] So if you want to +[3042.06 --> 3042.54] learn stuff about +[3042.54 --> 3042.90] programming, +[3043.06 --> 3043.62] really good place +[3043.62 --> 3044.04] to go. +[3044.50 --> 3044.86] Just watch +[3044.86 --> 3046.14] Codegasm first +[3046.14 --> 3046.42] though. +[3046.72 --> 3047.22] They got to watch +[3047.22 --> 3048.06] Codegasm and then +[3048.06 --> 3048.36] go. +[3048.44 --> 3049.16] Share the love. +[3049.36 --> 3050.28] Go to Codegasm for +[3050.28 --> 3051.02] some of your stuff. +[3051.18 --> 3052.00] Go to lynda.com for +[3052.00 --> 3052.68] other parts of your +[3052.68 --> 3052.88] stuff. +[3052.96 --> 3053.54] You probably need a +[3053.54 --> 3053.88] whole bunch of +[3053.88 --> 3054.30] stuff to learn +[3054.30 --> 3054.70] anyways. +[3055.82 --> 3056.98] If you jump on +[3056.98 --> 3057.82] and go to lynda.com +[3057.82 --> 3058.70] slash WAN show, +[3058.82 --> 3059.26] you get a seven +[3059.26 --> 3060.16] day free trial. +[3061.74 --> 3062.76] And yeah, +[3063.02 --> 3063.52] plans start at about +[3063.52 --> 3064.40] 25 bucks a month, +[3064.46 --> 3065.30] but you get tons of +[3065.30 --> 3066.10] stuff to learn and +[3066.10 --> 3066.40] it's going to be +[3066.40 --> 3066.82] something that's +[3066.82 --> 3067.62] going to be easy to +[3067.62 --> 3068.52] get like your mom +[3068.52 --> 3069.00] to get behind. +[3069.08 --> 3069.30] Be like, +[3069.36 --> 3069.58] mom, +[3069.62 --> 3070.28] I'm not learning +[3070.28 --> 3070.94] enough at school. +[3071.02 --> 3071.56] I want to learn +[3071.56 --> 3072.06] more. +[3072.60 --> 3072.76] Well, +[3072.80 --> 3073.52] like a single good +[3073.52 --> 3074.44] programming book is +[3074.44 --> 3074.72] like, +[3074.80 --> 3075.88] it can be 60 bucks. +[3076.34 --> 3077.42] So that's, +[3077.50 --> 3078.68] 60 bucks is like +[3078.68 --> 3079.62] pretty cheap. +[3080.50 --> 3080.88] Well, +[3080.90 --> 3081.02] no, +[3081.06 --> 3081.56] I'm not talking about +[3081.56 --> 3082.32] like textbooks from +[3082.32 --> 3082.68] college. +[3082.68 --> 3083.38] I'm talking about like +[3083.38 --> 3083.98] if you want to go +[3083.98 --> 3084.78] buy like the C sharp +[3084.78 --> 3085.50] Bible or something +[3085.50 --> 3085.78] like that, +[3085.82 --> 3086.48] one of the larger +[3086.48 --> 3087.28] reference material +[3087.28 --> 3088.60] books or like C sharp +[3088.60 --> 3089.20] for dummies and +[3089.20 --> 3089.36] stuff, +[3089.38 --> 3090.34] you can pay 30 to 60 +[3090.34 --> 3091.00] bucks for a single +[3091.00 --> 3091.24] book. +[3091.30 --> 3091.94] So I'd rather have a +[3091.94 --> 3092.60] month of unlimited +[3092.60 --> 3093.80] access to everything. +[3094.34 --> 3094.70] Yeah. +[3094.78 --> 3095.68] And I know a ton of +[3095.68 --> 3097.32] people that don't do +[3097.32 --> 3098.34] very well with learning +[3098.34 --> 3098.94] programming out of +[3098.94 --> 3099.68] books anyways. +[3100.14 --> 3100.76] If you can get +[3100.76 --> 3101.44] someone to, +[3101.44 --> 3102.92] to talk to you or be +[3102.92 --> 3103.84] much more interactive, +[3104.46 --> 3106.62] I've seen it go a +[3106.62 --> 3106.94] lot better. +[3107.40 --> 3108.10] I agree. +[3109.70 --> 3110.06] Concurd. +[3110.28 --> 3110.86] I concur. +[3111.38 --> 3111.82] Yes. +[3111.82 --> 3113.12] All right. +[3113.12 --> 3113.66] We're going to jump +[3113.66 --> 3114.82] back up in the dock +[3114.82 --> 3116.34] back to other topics. +[3116.74 --> 3118.14] So Silverstone has +[3118.14 --> 3119.22] shown off a power +[3119.22 --> 3119.48] supply. +[3119.56 --> 3120.04] I hope this isn't +[3120.04 --> 3121.04] under NDA because we +[3121.04 --> 3121.72] have it, +[3122.12 --> 3123.36] which I'm super stoked +[3123.36 --> 3124.66] about because it's for +[3124.66 --> 3125.60] small form factor. +[3125.68 --> 3128.10] It is an SFX PSU. +[3128.36 --> 3129.22] So a lot of people +[3129.22 --> 3130.14] complain that you can't +[3130.14 --> 3131.50] really do like awesome +[3131.50 --> 3132.40] overclock builds with +[3132.40 --> 3134.10] mini ITX systems. +[3134.10 --> 3136.06] but now you can because +[3136.06 --> 3137.50] they have a 600 watt 50 +[3137.50 --> 3138.68] amp available on 12 +[3138.68 --> 3140.24] volt rail power supply +[3140.24 --> 3141.30] which is fully modular +[3141.30 --> 3143.64] and semi fanless. +[3143.80 --> 3145.68] I believe it's a 20% +[3145.68 --> 3146.54] load or below. +[3146.54 --> 3147.88] It will do a no spin +[3147.88 --> 3148.72] mode for the fan. +[3149.12 --> 3150.34] So that mode isn't +[3150.34 --> 3151.56] super high, but it +[3151.56 --> 3152.16] exists. +[3152.40 --> 3152.98] So when you're running +[3152.98 --> 3154.04] idle or whatever, you +[3154.04 --> 3155.14] can have a potentially +[3155.14 --> 3157.36] silent-ish or silent +[3157.36 --> 3158.52] small form factor build +[3158.52 --> 3159.86] that does kind of +[3159.86 --> 3160.84] matter because if you +[3160.84 --> 3161.82] get some type of fan +[3161.82 --> 3162.76] controller that can do +[3162.76 --> 3164.00] thermal load where you +[3164.00 --> 3164.70] can have all your fans +[3164.70 --> 3166.34] go off, you can basically +[3166.34 --> 3167.58] have everything off at +[3167.58 --> 3168.46] a pretty idle rate as +[3168.46 --> 3169.10] long as you have fairly +[3169.10 --> 3169.82] good radiators. +[3170.48 --> 3171.04] Are a lot of case +[3171.04 --> 3171.92] manufacturers actually +[3171.92 --> 3172.78] adopting that form +[3172.78 --> 3173.36] factor too? +[3173.58 --> 3175.20] It's slowly becoming a +[3175.20 --> 3175.56] thing. +[3175.88 --> 3176.34] Because that's what +[3176.34 --> 3177.32] pisses me off is I +[3177.32 --> 3178.30] built so many of these +[3178.30 --> 3179.24] little systems and +[3179.24 --> 3180.02] usually when they die +[3180.02 --> 3180.60] you have to throw the +[3180.60 --> 3181.36] whole case away and +[3181.36 --> 3182.08] like go buy another +[3182.08 --> 3183.08] one because like +[3183.08 --> 3184.10] every power supply is +[3184.10 --> 3184.56] proprietary. +[3185.08 --> 3185.62] Yeah, yeah. +[3186.10 --> 3186.98] It is becoming a thing +[3186.98 --> 3187.62] more and more these +[3187.62 --> 3188.88] days, especially lately +[3188.88 --> 3190.46] and I bet you with the +[3190.46 --> 3191.06] announcement of this +[3191.06 --> 3191.68] power supply there's +[3191.68 --> 3192.26] going to be even more +[3192.26 --> 3192.86] because one of the +[3192.86 --> 3193.68] biggest complaints that +[3193.68 --> 3195.14] people have had is you +[3195.14 --> 3196.08] can't really get +[3196.08 --> 3197.18] appropriate power supplies +[3197.18 --> 3197.82] for these systems. +[3198.00 --> 3198.66] So now if you're going +[3198.66 --> 3200.48] for like crazy overclocked +[3200.48 --> 3201.40] balls to the wall system +[3201.40 --> 3202.30] which a lot of people +[3202.30 --> 3203.40] still want to do with +[3203.40 --> 3204.68] mini ITX, you'll actually +[3204.68 --> 3205.48] be able to do it because +[3205.48 --> 3206.66] 600 watts is quite a bit +[3206.66 --> 3207.32] to play with to be +[3207.32 --> 3207.64] completely honest. +[3207.64 --> 3208.54] For a small system +[3208.54 --> 3210.00] definitely and I want to +[3210.00 --> 3211.04] build media centers and I +[3211.04 --> 3212.00] want to build small media +[3212.00 --> 3212.86] centers and that's been my +[3212.86 --> 3214.06] only hold back so far. +[3214.46 --> 3215.10] Yeah, exactly. +[3215.10 --> 3215.80] I don't want to buy these +[3215.80 --> 3216.50] cases that have these +[3216.50 --> 3217.24] proprietary supplies. +[3217.34 --> 3217.92] So that's really cool. +[3218.22 --> 3219.08] Actually a video that I'm +[3219.08 --> 3220.12] planning on working on +[3220.12 --> 3222.16] while Linus is away is +[3222.16 --> 3223.08] I'm going to be comparing +[3223.08 --> 3225.56] mass wattage versus low +[3225.56 --> 3225.94] wattage. +[3226.12 --> 3227.22] So I'm going to be taking +[3227.22 --> 3228.84] two very good power +[3228.84 --> 3230.10] supplies but comparing a +[3230.10 --> 3231.32] very good but low +[3231.32 --> 3233.10] lower wattage power +[3233.10 --> 3234.28] supply versus a very good +[3234.28 --> 3235.28] very high wattage power +[3235.28 --> 3236.68] supply just to prove that +[3236.68 --> 3238.82] having a 1200 watt power +[3238.82 --> 3240.32] supply versus a 600 watt +[3240.32 --> 3241.32] power supply with a fairly +[3241.32 --> 3242.42] fairly standard system +[3242.42 --> 3243.22] isn't actually going to +[3243.22 --> 3243.68] help you. +[3244.16 --> 3245.76] But what I'm not trying to +[3245.76 --> 3247.44] prove because it's you +[3247.44 --> 3248.34] don't want to do that is +[3248.34 --> 3249.26] having a really crappy +[3249.26 --> 3250.74] power supply in a really +[3250.74 --> 3251.82] heavily overclocked system +[3251.82 --> 3253.10] you want a reliable one +[3253.10 --> 3253.94] you just don't necessarily +[3253.94 --> 3256.48] need 1500 watt whatever +[3256.48 --> 3257.94] the crap because you +[3257.94 --> 3258.84] probably don't have that +[3258.84 --> 3259.68] much stuff in your system. +[3260.06 --> 3260.26] You might. +[3260.52 --> 3262.16] I've got 1300 watts of +[3262.16 --> 3263.08] power in my system. +[3263.30 --> 3263.90] I was going to say you +[3263.90 --> 3264.14] might. +[3264.56 --> 3265.20] There's definitely going to +[3265.20 --> 3265.84] be people out there. +[3265.86 --> 3266.24] It's saying it was +[3266.24 --> 3266.78] using it though. +[3267.52 --> 3267.74] Yeah. +[3268.04 --> 3268.18] Yeah. +[3269.34 --> 3270.38] But I don't know. +[3270.58 --> 3272.68] For a large percentage of +[3272.68 --> 3273.44] people it won't be that +[3273.44 --> 3273.88] big of a deal. +[3274.44 --> 3274.62] Yeah. +[3274.90 --> 3275.50] And your chances are +[3275.50 --> 3276.20] you're not going to stuff +[3276.20 --> 3277.62] stuff a big enough GPU in +[3277.62 --> 3278.70] that system anyways to need +[3278.70 --> 3279.92] that that giant power +[3279.92 --> 3280.34] requirement. +[3280.72 --> 3281.60] Mm hmm. +[3281.66 --> 3282.10] All right. +[3282.42 --> 3283.34] Somebody do that though +[3283.34 --> 3284.44] just hey if somebody out +[3284.44 --> 3285.50] there builds a tiny tiny +[3285.50 --> 3286.82] little system that has +[3286.82 --> 3287.68] like the little extension +[3287.68 --> 3288.62] cable that goes to like a +[3288.62 --> 3289.76] Titan tape to the side of +[3289.76 --> 3289.92] it. +[3290.44 --> 3291.44] That'd be awesome to have +[3291.44 --> 3292.78] like a micro ITX build with +[3292.78 --> 3293.60] a Titan and the Titans +[3293.60 --> 3295.06] like an integral part of the +[3295.06 --> 3295.44] case. +[3295.86 --> 3297.22] If someone got like little +[3297.22 --> 3299.88] what do you call it +[3299.88 --> 3301.52] ventilation hold fiberglass +[3301.52 --> 3302.66] kind of plate. +[3303.18 --> 3303.34] Yeah. +[3303.56 --> 3305.06] Things and just glued them +[3305.06 --> 3306.74] all to the all four sides +[3306.74 --> 3307.76] of his case and put four +[3307.76 --> 3308.60] Titan blacks. +[3308.60 --> 3310.74] All mini ITX system. +[3310.86 --> 3311.56] They just fill the whole +[3311.56 --> 3312.56] thing with mineral oil and +[3312.56 --> 3313.44] just have it circulated. +[3314.52 --> 3315.10] Do it. +[3315.18 --> 3315.96] Somebody needs to do it. +[3316.60 --> 3316.88] Yeah. +[3317.02 --> 3317.44] So are there any +[3317.44 --> 3318.22] millionaires out there +[3318.22 --> 3318.86] that want to do this? +[3320.36 --> 3320.90] Yeah really. +[3321.02 --> 3321.58] Do I still have Titan +[3321.58 --> 3322.26] blacks behind me? +[3323.12 --> 3324.18] Can I just be baller on +[3324.18 --> 3324.54] the show? +[3325.52 --> 3325.80] Yep. +[3326.16 --> 3326.72] Wait for it. +[3326.98 --> 3327.50] Wait for it. +[3327.58 --> 3327.94] Waiting. +[3329.56 --> 3329.92] Oh. +[3330.78 --> 3332.04] Dude I hate you guys. +[3332.46 --> 3332.82] Seriously? +[3335.28 --> 3335.64] Oh. +[3335.64 --> 3337.02] Dude I'm all like poor +[3337.02 --> 3337.54] people here. +[3337.90 --> 3338.02] Oh. +[3338.02 --> 3338.78] I'm just seeing you still. +[3339.12 --> 3340.20] Frankly he just gets me +[3340.20 --> 3341.82] see me rub a Titan black +[3341.82 --> 3342.48] against my face. +[3343.36 --> 3343.76] Oh. +[3344.04 --> 3345.20] I'm so excited to install +[3345.20 --> 3345.34] these. +[3345.34 --> 3346.28] You've heard about the +[3346.28 --> 3346.98] room water cooling +[3346.98 --> 3347.62] project right? +[3347.98 --> 3348.30] Yes. +[3348.50 --> 3348.72] Yes. +[3348.78 --> 3349.60] I actually had some input +[3349.60 --> 3349.88] on it. +[3349.92 --> 3350.54] I told you guys you +[3350.54 --> 3352.04] need to put a Katie +[3352.04 --> 3353.36] pool on the outside +[3353.36 --> 3354.26] with an actual spout. +[3354.26 --> 3354.36] Yeah. +[3354.36 --> 3354.64] Yeah. +[3354.64 --> 3354.70] Yeah. +[3354.70 --> 3354.78] Yeah. +[3355.16 --> 3355.88] You guys would have +[3355.88 --> 3356.66] like warm water. +[3356.78 --> 3357.36] Like you could probably +[3357.36 --> 3358.44] replace the water heater +[3358.44 --> 3359.18] in your house with that +[3359.18 --> 3359.36] thing. +[3359.74 --> 3360.96] I remember you saying +[3360.96 --> 3361.72] that actually now. +[3361.72 --> 3364.84] We've ringed my dad in. +[3364.94 --> 3365.98] My dad is like a pretty +[3365.98 --> 3366.82] beast mode plumber. +[3367.62 --> 3368.56] He was a pretty beast +[3368.56 --> 3369.56] mode plumber for a while +[3369.56 --> 3370.58] and then he's started +[3370.58 --> 3371.86] instructing now at a +[3371.86 --> 3372.28] university. +[3372.78 --> 3373.62] So he knows what he's +[3373.62 --> 3374.74] doing and we're going to +[3374.74 --> 3376.82] get him to do hard line +[3376.82 --> 3378.32] piping around most of the +[3378.32 --> 3380.04] room and he's doing a +[3380.04 --> 3381.56] return line as well and +[3381.56 --> 3382.66] he's like he's he's made +[3382.66 --> 3384.04] our original idea much +[3384.04 --> 3384.72] more legit. +[3385.66 --> 3386.00] I'll make it. +[3386.00 --> 3386.48] He's actually going to be +[3386.48 --> 3387.38] doing the install for a +[3387.38 --> 3387.98] lot of that stuff. +[3388.34 --> 3389.30] I will make you a deal. +[3389.40 --> 3390.08] You can pass us on the +[3390.08 --> 3390.30] Linus. +[3390.36 --> 3391.54] If you guys find a way +[3391.54 --> 3393.20] to put a shower head on +[3393.20 --> 3393.88] there in a kiddie pool, +[3394.00 --> 3395.40] I will drive my ass up +[3395.40 --> 3397.32] to Canada and I will +[3397.32 --> 3398.20] take a shower in that +[3398.20 --> 3398.80] damn kiddie pool. +[3399.04 --> 3399.68] I will do it. +[3399.86 --> 3400.60] We're trying to make +[3400.60 --> 3403.04] sure that it is like +[3403.04 --> 3404.80] very well contained so +[3404.80 --> 3405.42] that we won't get any +[3405.42 --> 3406.28] contaminants in the +[3406.28 --> 3406.92] loop because that could +[3406.92 --> 3407.70] be a pretty big issue. +[3408.34 --> 3409.32] So contaminants. +[3409.42 --> 3411.08] I don't think you're +[3411.08 --> 3411.86] showering, man. +[3411.94 --> 3412.38] The whole thing is +[3412.38 --> 3413.08] showers. +[3413.46 --> 3415.24] I don't even go out of +[3415.24 --> 3415.68] this room. +[3415.96 --> 3416.64] I live here, dude. +[3417.80 --> 3418.82] That doesn't mean that +[3418.82 --> 3419.74] there's no contaminants. +[3419.80 --> 3420.56] The skin is naturally +[3420.56 --> 3420.92] oily. +[3420.92 --> 3422.26] Don't work with me. +[3422.26 --> 3424.72] I think we're going to +[3424.72 --> 3425.40] try and do it as legit +[3425.40 --> 3425.92] as possible. +[3426.06 --> 3426.86] But yeah, we have a +[3426.86 --> 3427.36] whole bunch of new +[3427.36 --> 3428.52] plans now that my dad +[3428.52 --> 3429.60] has been looped into it. +[3430.08 --> 3430.60] That's cool. +[3431.42 --> 3432.00] So you guys are just +[3432.00 --> 3432.46] going to have quick +[3432.46 --> 3433.02] disconnects and +[3433.02 --> 3433.42] everything so you can +[3433.42 --> 3434.12] just pop the systems +[3434.12 --> 3434.34] off. +[3434.46 --> 3435.14] Quick disconnects all +[3435.14 --> 3435.54] over the place. +[3435.62 --> 3436.34] It's going to be set up +[3436.34 --> 3438.18] so that there's an +[3438.18 --> 3438.90] external radiator on +[3438.90 --> 3440.40] every system and then +[3440.40 --> 3441.22] quick disconnects coming +[3441.22 --> 3442.10] out of the case and +[3442.10 --> 3443.00] quick disconnects sitting +[3443.00 --> 3443.92] on the external radiator +[3443.92 --> 3445.60] on every system so that +[3445.60 --> 3446.02] if you want to +[3446.02 --> 3446.72] disconnect it from the +[3446.72 --> 3447.42] room and take it +[3447.42 --> 3448.76] somewhere else, you can +[3448.76 --> 3449.92] quick disconnect off the +[3449.92 --> 3450.76] room, quick disconnect +[3450.76 --> 3452.34] up into the radiator and +[3452.34 --> 3453.16] still be good to go. +[3453.92 --> 3454.42] You know what you guys +[3454.42 --> 3455.10] should do is just take a +[3455.10 --> 3456.18] whole bunch of like four +[3456.18 --> 3457.36] extra radiators and just +[3457.36 --> 3458.00] leave them on a shelf. +[3458.08 --> 3458.58] That way you don't have to +[3458.58 --> 3459.40] put one on every computer. +[3459.50 --> 3460.20] You just basically take the +[3460.20 --> 3461.18] radio over and like snap it +[3461.18 --> 3461.82] to the side of it. +[3462.14 --> 3462.70] And then when you're done, +[3462.76 --> 3463.48] you unplug it and plug it +[3463.48 --> 3463.84] back in. +[3464.00 --> 3464.92] That'd be pretty cool too. +[3465.26 --> 3466.20] That's not a bad idea. +[3466.20 --> 3469.62] I think we're just going to +[3469.62 --> 3470.32] leave them strapped in the +[3470.32 --> 3471.48] system because the idea is +[3471.48 --> 3473.66] every system will have an +[3473.66 --> 3475.60] internal reservoir which +[3475.60 --> 3478.30] shouldn't normally be used. +[3478.42 --> 3478.86] Maybe it is. +[3478.92 --> 3479.66] I don't remember exactly how +[3479.66 --> 3479.84] it works. +[3480.10 --> 3480.98] Internal reservoir, internal +[3480.98 --> 3482.22] pump which will be used. +[3482.28 --> 3484.44] We're going to have D5s in +[3484.44 --> 3485.64] every computer which we'll be +[3485.64 --> 3487.34] pushing all the time just to +[3487.34 --> 3489.94] help the little giant pump +[3489.94 --> 3490.78] that we have in the other +[3490.78 --> 3491.04] room. +[3491.20 --> 3492.04] No, that's a smart move +[3492.04 --> 3492.58] because you don't want the +[3492.58 --> 3493.66] first system in the loop like +[3493.66 --> 3494.40] blowing a hose. +[3494.40 --> 3495.80] Yeah, exactly. +[3496.42 --> 3496.88] No, that's cool. +[3497.46 --> 3498.62] Yeah, so that'll be helping. +[3498.78 --> 3500.12] So essentially, literally all +[3500.12 --> 3500.64] that will happen. +[3500.98 --> 3501.72] You don't even have to take +[3501.72 --> 3502.56] the side panel off. +[3502.62 --> 3503.80] You have to do nothing to be +[3503.80 --> 3504.84] able to remove almost nothing +[3504.84 --> 3505.92] to be able to take one of the +[3505.92 --> 3506.60] computers and put it +[3506.60 --> 3507.38] somewhere else because you +[3507.38 --> 3508.74] just quick disconnect off, +[3509.00 --> 3510.38] quick disconnect in, and +[3510.38 --> 3510.82] that's it. +[3511.00 --> 3512.00] The quick disconnects are +[3512.00 --> 3512.68] going to be laying there +[3512.68 --> 3514.44] waiting all the time. +[3514.44 --> 3515.68] That is so cool. +[3516.06 --> 3516.96] I can't wait to see that. +[3516.96 --> 3517.48] If we take one downstairs to +[3517.48 --> 3518.94] film or whatever, it'll be +[3518.94 --> 3519.66] no problem. +[3519.96 --> 3520.54] So that'll be a really +[3520.54 --> 3521.40] exciting project. +[3522.22 --> 3523.08] And like I said, we looped +[3523.08 --> 3524.00] my dad into that. +[3524.40 --> 3525.62] And speaking of looping +[3525.62 --> 3527.00] people into things, I have +[3527.00 --> 3528.24] some shoutouts for stuff +[3528.24 --> 3529.22] that's happened on the +[3529.22 --> 3529.60] forum. +[3530.10 --> 3531.00] We have a shoutout to the +[3531.00 --> 3533.30] Boink team for passing a +[3533.30 --> 3535.12] 1 billion point mark, which +[3535.12 --> 3536.20] is pretty insanity. +[3536.76 --> 3538.56] And our folding team is now +[3538.56 --> 3540.12] in 42nd place. +[3541.78 --> 3542.16] Wow. +[3542.16 --> 3542.86] Why can't I talk? +[3543.22 --> 3544.82] And they just passed the 2 +[3544.82 --> 3546.24] billion point mark. +[3546.88 --> 3547.96] So holy crap. +[3548.22 --> 3549.00] Good job, everyone. +[3549.16 --> 3549.80] That's awesome. +[3550.28 --> 3551.88] Also, a callout for featured +[3551.88 --> 3552.54] build logs. +[3552.64 --> 3553.12] I know people have been +[3553.12 --> 3553.88] asking a lot of questions +[3553.88 --> 3554.44] about that lady. +[3555.56 --> 3556.60] I just said lady. +[3556.76 --> 3557.70] I can't talk right now. +[3557.76 --> 3558.74] I need liquids, but my +[3558.74 --> 3559.44] power raid's out. +[3561.64 --> 3562.04] Anyways. +[3562.04 --> 3562.76] There you go. +[3562.86 --> 3564.18] We're having an update for +[3564.18 --> 3564.64] that. +[3564.86 --> 3565.38] We now have... +[3565.38 --> 3565.46] Take the beady. +[3565.54 --> 3566.00] Thank you. +[3566.06 --> 3566.74] I appreciate it. +[3566.74 --> 3567.14] Get the beady. +[3567.14 --> 3571.22] I now have other people +[3571.22 --> 3572.36] running it because I was +[3572.36 --> 3573.66] careless and couldn't keep +[3573.66 --> 3574.12] up with it. +[3574.22 --> 3577.36] So now, Wailer and Alpenwasser +[3577.36 --> 3578.36] and a few other people are +[3578.36 --> 3579.96] trying to manage it and make +[3579.96 --> 3581.06] sure that it actually happens. +[3581.30 --> 3583.34] So we had a proper one last +[3583.34 --> 3584.32] month, but we're going to +[3584.32 --> 3586.56] have kind of a catch-up month. +[3586.72 --> 3588.06] So we're having a feature +[3588.06 --> 3590.06] build log submission post kind +[3590.06 --> 3592.90] of open grazing, just submit +[3592.90 --> 3595.08] all the stuff event where +[3595.08 --> 3596.18] pretty much anyone can submit +[3596.18 --> 3596.80] their builds. +[3597.48 --> 3598.40] Yeah, basically anyone with +[3598.40 --> 3599.46] completed build can submit. +[3599.58 --> 3600.58] Just make sure you follow the +[3600.58 --> 3601.34] posting format. +[3601.92 --> 3603.16] So check out the build log +[3603.16 --> 3604.50] section of the forum and +[3604.50 --> 3605.58] submit your builds there. +[3605.94 --> 3607.20] And I think when there's +[3607.20 --> 3609.28] either a timed version or +[3609.28 --> 3610.42] when we get to 100 +[3610.42 --> 3611.96] submissions, we're going to be +[3611.96 --> 3612.82] moving it to a voting +[3612.82 --> 3613.16] thread. +[3613.46 --> 3613.98] Then we're going to have a +[3613.98 --> 3616.22] big summary of all the +[3616.22 --> 3617.18] awesome builds that have +[3617.18 --> 3618.16] happened in the last little +[3618.16 --> 3618.56] while. +[3618.94 --> 3619.76] And then we're going to go +[3619.76 --> 3621.16] back to a monthly or +[3621.16 --> 3622.72] quarterly schedule for build +[3622.72 --> 3623.02] logs. +[3623.36 --> 3624.22] But it's actually going to be +[3624.22 --> 3625.56] happening properly now because +[3625.56 --> 3626.50] now there's a group of us +[3626.50 --> 3628.58] managing it and not just me +[3628.58 --> 3629.88] because we all saw how well +[3629.88 --> 3630.52] that went. +[3631.40 --> 3632.04] Oh, well. +[3632.18 --> 3634.88] Now, the most important news +[3634.88 --> 3637.80] of the day, by far, the most +[3637.80 --> 3639.14] important news, probably that +[3639.14 --> 3640.50] you'll hear this quarter or +[3640.50 --> 3642.78] maybe even possibly this year. +[3643.50 --> 3644.92] Yoshi's full name has been +[3644.92 --> 3645.36] revealed. +[3645.68 --> 3646.86] His name is T Yoshi +[3646.86 --> 3648.22] Soar Munchakupas. +[3648.22 --> 3652.10] What does the T stand for? +[3652.36 --> 3653.28] No one knows! +[3655.74 --> 3657.66] T Yoshi Soar Munchakupas. +[3658.08 --> 3658.44] Ridiculous. +[3658.62 --> 3659.56] I think I'm just going to keep +[3659.56 --> 3660.38] on calling him Yoshi. +[3660.78 --> 3661.98] But maybe if I'm trying to be +[3661.98 --> 3663.28] formal when I'm asking him to +[3663.28 --> 3664.26] run his cart a little bit +[3664.26 --> 3666.06] faster in Mario Kart 8, I can +[3666.06 --> 3667.60] say Yoshi Soar Munchakupas. +[3668.50 --> 3670.20] Blake Harris unearthed the +[3670.20 --> 3672.84] character's name from a copy of +[3672.84 --> 3674.70] the Nintendo Character Guide from +[3674.70 --> 3675.46] 1993. +[3675.46 --> 3677.68] I bet they were hoping that +[3677.68 --> 3679.26] that would never be re-Earthed. +[3679.32 --> 3679.72] Probably. +[3680.02 --> 3681.08] Because that is not the +[3681.08 --> 3681.80] greatest name ever. +[3682.70 --> 3684.20] I think it's actually kind of +[3684.20 --> 3686.14] cool because Yoshi, which is +[3686.14 --> 3687.44] way better, but then Soar, +[3687.56 --> 3688.18] because he kind of looks like +[3688.18 --> 3689.12] a dinosaur, that makes sense. +[3689.46 --> 3691.68] And then Munchakupas is probably +[3691.68 --> 3692.86] the best last name they probably +[3692.86 --> 3693.42] could have given him. +[3693.68 --> 3694.06] I agree. +[3694.24 --> 3694.58] I agree. +[3694.76 --> 3695.70] It's very accurate, too. +[3695.84 --> 3696.62] Yeah, exactly. +[3697.82 --> 3699.84] Mario is also apparently not a +[3699.84 --> 3701.02] traditional human being. +[3701.54 --> 3702.60] He has a different species. +[3702.60 --> 3703.46] He has a different species +[3703.46 --> 3704.60] called Homo Nintendos. +[3705.46 --> 3707.64] Nintendonus? +[3708.20 --> 3709.20] I'm not entirely sure how to +[3709.20 --> 3709.70] pronounce that. +[3709.94 --> 3710.50] I think it's Nintendonus. +[3710.50 --> 3711.34] Donus sounds cooler, though. +[3711.36 --> 3712.36] Let's go with Nintendonus. +[3712.78 --> 3713.18] Nintendonus. +[3713.28 --> 3714.82] Homo Nintendonus. +[3715.92 --> 3718.00] Mario is Homo Nintendonus. +[3718.38 --> 3720.06] From here on out, everybody, +[3720.20 --> 3721.30] when a plumber is at your house, +[3721.40 --> 3723.08] refer to them as Homo Nintendonus. +[3725.00 --> 3725.90] I hope that helps. +[3726.04 --> 3727.26] I'm going to call my dad. +[3727.34 --> 3728.20] Next time I talk to my dad, +[3728.34 --> 3728.80] I'll be like, +[3728.88 --> 3730.26] Father Nintendonus, +[3730.26 --> 3733.08] can you help us +[3733.08 --> 3734.30] with our water-cooling project? +[3734.30 --> 3735.44] They're just like regular humans, +[3735.56 --> 3736.30] except for their pants +[3736.30 --> 3737.38] can't go above their ass crack. +[3737.52 --> 3738.50] That's the difference. +[3738.50 --> 3740.30] Mario has overall things, +[3740.60 --> 3741.36] and they stay up just fine. +[3741.36 --> 3742.76] That's why they wear overalls, +[3742.78 --> 3743.34] now you know. +[3743.50 --> 3744.44] Because the butt crack +[3745.00 --> 3746.40] just keeps going for days. +[3746.50 --> 3747.40] Because it's Nintendo, +[3747.58 --> 3748.34] and they had to make sure +[3748.34 --> 3749.10] that they didn't have +[3749.10 --> 3750.00] anything scandalous +[3750.00 --> 3750.82] showing on screen. +[3751.30 --> 3751.94] That makes sense. +[3752.48 --> 3753.06] I get it. +[3754.28 --> 3754.64] Anyways, +[3754.80 --> 3755.72] that was obviously not +[3755.72 --> 3756.62] the most important news +[3756.62 --> 3757.00] of the week, +[3757.00 --> 3757.82] but I kind of thought +[3757.82 --> 3759.20] it was awesome. +[3759.62 --> 3761.18] I know Dorkly right now. +[3761.48 --> 3762.20] This isn't in the dog at all. +[3762.20 --> 3763.38] I love Dorkly. +[3763.72 --> 3764.70] Oh my god. +[3765.02 --> 3765.68] It's one of my favorite +[3765.68 --> 3766.40] YouTube channels. +[3767.18 --> 3767.90] Oh my gosh. +[3768.50 --> 3769.44] Let me see if I can find +[3769.44 --> 3769.98] this website. +[3770.46 --> 3770.66] Yes, +[3770.74 --> 3772.40] the best Nintendo character ever. +[3773.00 --> 3774.46] I'll spam this in the chat right now. +[3774.54 --> 3775.48] They're currently having +[3775.48 --> 3777.26] a voting contest for this. +[3777.58 --> 3778.18] And I went through +[3778.18 --> 3778.86] and did the whole thing. +[3778.90 --> 3779.42] It's kind of cool +[3779.42 --> 3779.94] how they do it +[3779.94 --> 3780.68] because it's fairly, +[3781.24 --> 3781.86] you get I think +[3781.86 --> 3782.90] 100 matchups, +[3783.00 --> 3784.08] 112 matchups. +[3784.94 --> 3785.92] And as you go through, +[3786.20 --> 3786.76] it's kind of like +[3786.76 --> 3787.94] voting people off, +[3788.04 --> 3788.76] not necessarily +[3788.76 --> 3789.84] voting people in +[3789.84 --> 3791.32] because as you narrow down +[3791.32 --> 3792.98] your 112 competitions, +[3793.28 --> 3794.02] you'll start seeing +[3794.02 --> 3795.44] the same people popping up. +[3795.70 --> 3796.10] And essentially, +[3796.22 --> 3797.08] what it's trying to do +[3797.08 --> 3798.70] is find your favorites. +[3799.12 --> 3800.62] So say Link is your favorite +[3800.62 --> 3802.16] because he's currently voted +[3802.16 --> 3803.70] worldwide favorite right now. +[3803.82 --> 3804.54] You'll see him +[3804.54 --> 3805.46] a whole bunch of times +[3805.46 --> 3806.56] and the final matchup +[3806.56 --> 3807.10] will be Link +[3807.10 --> 3808.00] versus someone else. +[3808.32 --> 3808.76] Seriously, +[3808.86 --> 3809.58] the Wii Fit trainer? +[3809.96 --> 3810.18] Yeah, +[3810.24 --> 3810.50] man. +[3810.62 --> 3811.30] I voted for her +[3811.30 --> 3811.92] a couple of times. +[3812.36 --> 3813.46] I bet you did. +[3813.66 --> 3813.72] Dude, +[3814.20 --> 3814.72] you're probably hoping +[3814.72 --> 3815.44] to get some more quotes. +[3815.44 --> 3816.60] And Super Smash Bros. +[3816.66 --> 3817.14] for Wii U. +[3817.46 --> 3818.34] She's really good. +[3819.24 --> 3820.60] She's actually really good. +[3820.86 --> 3821.00] Like, +[3821.04 --> 3821.96] that's why I voted for her +[3821.96 --> 3822.50] because I was like, +[3822.54 --> 3822.66] oh, +[3822.68 --> 3822.84] whatever, +[3822.90 --> 3823.68] I'll pick her as a joke +[3823.68 --> 3824.84] and then I did really well. +[3825.22 --> 3826.26] I just threw a vote for you, +[3826.32 --> 3826.46] buddy. +[3826.68 --> 3827.00] I did. +[3827.28 --> 3827.54] Thanks, +[3827.62 --> 3827.80] man. +[3828.16 --> 3828.94] I appreciate it. +[3829.34 --> 3829.44] See, +[3829.48 --> 3831.18] I've got Toad versus Dark Samus. +[3831.26 --> 3832.14] It's so hard, +[3832.28 --> 3832.90] some of these votes. +[3833.14 --> 3833.72] But it's interesting +[3833.72 --> 3834.84] because you get to see +[3834.84 --> 3836.30] how everyone stacked up +[3836.30 --> 3837.00] in your voting +[3837.00 --> 3837.84] once you're done +[3837.84 --> 3839.32] and you get to see +[3839.32 --> 3840.62] how everyone stacks up +[3840.62 --> 3840.94] overall. +[3840.94 --> 3841.46] So right now, +[3841.50 --> 3842.66] the top five are +[3842.66 --> 3844.08] Link in number one +[3844.08 --> 3845.36] and then Samus Aran +[3845.36 --> 3846.22] in number two. +[3846.76 --> 3847.84] Three is Mario. +[3848.24 --> 3849.26] Four is Princess Zelda +[3849.26 --> 3851.08] and then five is Red, +[3851.42 --> 3852.60] which is like Ash +[3852.60 --> 3854.20] but in the game series. +[3854.78 --> 3855.48] So I don't know. +[3855.58 --> 3856.14] That's pretty cool. +[3856.30 --> 3857.86] They have 50 different ones. +[3858.18 --> 3859.32] Last place right now +[3859.32 --> 3860.18] is Bowser Jr. +[3860.44 --> 3860.78] Sorry, +[3861.08 --> 3861.32] buddy. +[3862.18 --> 3862.66] All right. +[3862.78 --> 3863.60] But they have it from +[3863.60 --> 3864.96] a whole bunch +[3864.96 --> 3866.08] of different Nintendo titles. +[3866.60 --> 3867.14] So if you want to +[3867.14 --> 3867.92] kind of have some fun, +[3868.02 --> 3868.52] maybe check out +[3868.52 --> 3869.44] that dorkly thread. +[3872.10 --> 3872.42] Yeah. +[3872.80 --> 3873.16] I don't know. +[3873.16 --> 3873.44] That's cool. +[3873.46 --> 3873.94] I think it's pretty interesting. +[3874.04 --> 3874.50] I don't know if there's +[3874.50 --> 3875.38] like a cutoff date +[3875.38 --> 3876.08] or anything. +[3876.86 --> 3878.32] So I don't know. +[3878.44 --> 3879.24] I didn't see it anywhere +[3879.24 --> 3879.96] but I don't think +[3879.96 --> 3880.70] it's that big of a deal. +[3881.22 --> 3882.44] It's just kind of for fun. +[3882.72 --> 3883.98] I voted for like five or six +[3883.98 --> 3884.54] and then I got bored +[3884.54 --> 3885.12] and closed it. +[3886.84 --> 3887.28] Closed it. +[3887.36 --> 3887.76] But you know, +[3887.86 --> 3889.22] ADHD is a hell of a thing. +[3890.06 --> 3890.68] I was wondering, +[3890.92 --> 3891.62] the only reason +[3891.62 --> 3892.28] why I kept going +[3892.28 --> 3893.04] and finished the whole thing +[3893.04 --> 3893.86] was I was actually wondering +[3893.86 --> 3894.60] how they did it. +[3895.20 --> 3895.96] Because I would notice +[3895.96 --> 3897.20] every once in a blue moon +[3897.20 --> 3897.88] when I was first, +[3898.26 --> 3898.86] when I went through +[3898.86 --> 3899.40] the first few +[3899.40 --> 3899.76] because I was like, +[3899.82 --> 3900.16] they're going to have +[3900.16 --> 3901.12] 112 matchups. +[3901.22 --> 3901.98] This is going to be ridiculous. +[3902.56 --> 3903.72] And then the ranking system +[3903.72 --> 3904.64] for that is going to be weird +[3904.64 --> 3905.38] because if you have +[3905.38 --> 3907.66] like a super popular character +[3907.66 --> 3908.84] voted against a not +[3908.84 --> 3909.80] super popular character, +[3909.90 --> 3910.88] obviously they're going to win. +[3911.64 --> 3912.38] So I was trying to figure out +[3912.38 --> 3913.04] how they did it. +[3913.52 --> 3914.36] So I kept on going +[3914.36 --> 3915.08] and then I started seeing +[3915.08 --> 3915.82] things showing up +[3915.82 --> 3916.36] more and more +[3916.36 --> 3916.78] and I was like, +[3916.90 --> 3917.96] I think I understand. +[3918.22 --> 3919.06] And then when it came down +[3919.06 --> 3919.82] to the very end +[3919.82 --> 3920.44] and it was the two +[3920.44 --> 3921.24] that I had voted for +[3921.24 --> 3922.18] like a billion times, +[3922.26 --> 3922.50] I was like, +[3922.60 --> 3922.92] all right, +[3923.20 --> 3923.58] I understand. +[3924.30 --> 3924.86] That's pretty cool. +[3924.86 --> 3927.24] Next up is Toxic. +[3928.02 --> 3929.44] Pretty sure I'm saying that right. +[3929.74 --> 3932.44] It's spelled T-O-X-I-K-K. +[3933.66 --> 3935.00] So pretty sure it's toxic. +[3935.52 --> 3937.66] It is a PC only arena FPS. +[3938.22 --> 3940.16] It's classic FPS style action +[3940.16 --> 3941.22] like a real tournament +[3941.22 --> 3942.46] kind of thing going on. +[3942.72 --> 3944.08] All players are always equal. +[3944.24 --> 3944.94] So there's no like +[3944.94 --> 3946.62] leveling system +[3946.62 --> 3947.50] or perks +[3947.50 --> 3948.84] or bullshit. +[3949.16 --> 3950.56] And that's part of the whole idea. +[3950.84 --> 3951.62] My favorite thing is +[3951.62 --> 3952.18] it goes through +[3952.18 --> 3952.58] and it's like, +[3952.86 --> 3953.86] no leveling system, +[3953.86 --> 3954.68] no blah, blah, blah, +[3954.80 --> 3955.74] no all this kind of stuff, +[3955.82 --> 3956.70] arena style combat. +[3957.18 --> 3958.24] And then they start +[3958.24 --> 3958.72] going through stuff +[3958.72 --> 3959.48] they do have. +[3959.58 --> 3961.46] They have different arena modes. +[3961.58 --> 3963.46] They have vehicle mode. +[3963.58 --> 3964.36] They have all this +[3964.36 --> 3965.20] other kind of stuff. +[3965.52 --> 3966.50] And then at the very end +[3966.50 --> 3968.08] it says free to play. +[3968.36 --> 3968.82] And I was like, +[3969.14 --> 3970.52] oh no. +[3970.98 --> 3971.84] You're going to ruin +[3971.84 --> 3972.62] the whole thing. +[3972.98 --> 3974.34] And then there's this huge stamp +[3974.34 --> 3975.10] that goes right over it. +[3975.14 --> 3975.34] It's like, +[3975.54 --> 3975.94] no. +[3976.26 --> 3976.58] I was like, +[3976.64 --> 3977.14] yay. +[3978.76 --> 3980.36] You're like micro transactions. +[3980.78 --> 3981.18] Just kidding. +[3981.18 --> 3981.74] Yeah, +[3981.84 --> 3982.22] seriously. +[3983.54 --> 3984.48] In the comments +[3984.48 --> 3984.88] of the video +[3984.88 --> 3986.12] I saw a billion people +[3986.12 --> 3987.18] saying that +[3987.18 --> 3988.30] it's kind of funny +[3988.30 --> 3990.66] that a marketing stance +[3990.66 --> 3991.62] nowadays +[3991.62 --> 3992.82] for a game +[3992.82 --> 3993.50] is to say +[3993.50 --> 3995.26] you have to pay for this. +[3995.96 --> 3996.72] And people are like, +[3996.84 --> 3997.24] yeah. +[3998.16 --> 3998.56] I know. +[3998.56 --> 3999.38] How did that happen? +[4000.06 --> 4001.46] How messed up +[4001.46 --> 4002.52] is the gaming industry? +[4002.52 --> 4002.90] Remember back +[4002.90 --> 4003.96] in the shareware days, +[4004.02 --> 4004.18] right? +[4004.22 --> 4004.64] They'd give you +[4004.64 --> 4005.64] a part of the game +[4005.64 --> 4006.48] and then you could pay +[4006.48 --> 4006.94] if you wanted +[4006.94 --> 4008.36] the rest of the game. +[4008.36 --> 4009.60] And that was fine +[4009.60 --> 4010.72] but now they've changed +[4010.72 --> 4011.42] the dynamic to where +[4011.42 --> 4011.66] it's like, +[4011.72 --> 4012.84] now you go buy the game +[4012.84 --> 4013.74] or get the game for free +[4013.74 --> 4014.92] like Blacklight Retribution +[4014.92 --> 4015.74] for instance. +[4015.74 --> 4016.20] A lot of people +[4016.20 --> 4016.66] like that game. +[4016.98 --> 4017.50] You get in there +[4017.50 --> 4017.90] and then it's like +[4017.90 --> 4018.80] people are walking around +[4018.80 --> 4019.32] with mechs +[4019.32 --> 4021.18] and got indestructible armor +[4021.18 --> 4022.46] and you're running around +[4022.46 --> 4023.50] with your Daisy Red Rider +[4023.50 --> 4024.58] pump action BB gun. +[4026.00 --> 4027.22] And it drives me +[4027.22 --> 4028.46] absolutely nuts. +[4028.46 --> 4029.28] Or you've got the, +[4029.50 --> 4030.52] if you have an Intel SSD +[4030.52 --> 4031.24] you get those boots +[4031.24 --> 4032.10] that make you run faster. +[4032.40 --> 4032.64] Yep. +[4032.88 --> 4034.12] That's why the game's +[4034.12 --> 4035.06] like Unreal Tournament +[4035.06 --> 4035.42] and stuff +[4035.42 --> 4036.30] where you just jump in +[4036.30 --> 4036.64] and it's like, +[4036.68 --> 4037.98] it's actually your skill. +[4037.98 --> 4038.92] It's not like COD +[4038.92 --> 4039.30] where you're like +[4039.30 --> 4040.26] level 60 prestige +[4040.26 --> 4040.86] and you got the gun +[4040.86 --> 4041.62] where you just push a button +[4041.62 --> 4041.98] and the bullet +[4041.98 --> 4042.66] finds somebody +[4042.66 --> 4043.22] and kills them. +[4043.46 --> 4043.70] You're just like +[4043.70 --> 4044.92] pew kill, pew kill. +[4045.08 --> 4045.64] It's not that bad +[4045.64 --> 4047.50] but it's still pretty bad. +[4047.78 --> 4047.94] Yeah. +[4048.88 --> 4050.12] So the idea is +[4050.12 --> 4050.64] that they're going to have +[4050.64 --> 4051.90] classic styled +[4051.90 --> 4053.38] and massive maps +[4053.38 --> 4054.00] both of them. +[4054.22 --> 4054.68] It's going to be +[4054.68 --> 4055.94] exclusively for PC +[4055.94 --> 4057.30] which is one of the big things +[4057.30 --> 4057.82] they're pushing +[4057.82 --> 4059.70] and it's developed by Reactor. +[4060.14 --> 4060.72] They're a, +[4060.86 --> 4061.18] again, +[4061.34 --> 4061.98] spelled kind of weird +[4061.98 --> 4063.84] R-E-A-K-K-K-T-O-R. +[4064.40 --> 4065.50] They're an indie studio +[4065.50 --> 4066.76] but they have members +[4066.76 --> 4067.94] that have at least +[4067.94 --> 4068.78] 10 years of experience +[4068.78 --> 4069.56] with game development +[4069.56 --> 4070.24] all over the place +[4070.24 --> 4071.66] so they're kind of a big deal. +[4072.10 --> 4072.68] I'm pretty excited +[4072.68 --> 4073.38] for this to come out +[4073.38 --> 4074.62] but I'm going to curb +[4074.62 --> 4075.22] my enthusiasm +[4075.22 --> 4077.70] because the last PC-only +[4077.70 --> 4078.54] Ra-Ra game +[4078.54 --> 4079.60] that I really got behind +[4079.60 --> 4080.80] that released, +[4080.94 --> 4081.66] so I'm not including +[4081.66 --> 4082.68] Star Citizen right now, +[4082.94 --> 4084.36] was Hard Reset +[4084.36 --> 4086.24] and we might all know +[4086.24 --> 4087.18] how well that went. +[4087.44 --> 4088.70] So hopefully this works +[4088.70 --> 4089.38] quite well. +[4089.38 --> 4092.38] Not like PC really needs +[4092.38 --> 4093.26] more exclusives +[4093.26 --> 4094.16] because we have +[4094.16 --> 4095.40] tons of them +[4095.40 --> 4097.08] but I'll welcome it +[4097.08 --> 4099.14] and hopefully if we get +[4099.14 --> 4100.64] all of the Xbox exclusives +[4100.64 --> 4101.60] at some point +[4101.60 --> 4102.34] so that there aren't +[4102.34 --> 4102.88] any anymore +[4102.88 --> 4103.58] and then we have +[4103.58 --> 4104.42] PC exclusives, +[4104.70 --> 4105.56] the console guys won't even +[4105.56 --> 4106.64] have that argument anymore +[4106.64 --> 4107.86] so I'm cool with that. +[4108.86 --> 4110.06] PC Master Race! +[4110.22 --> 4110.54] Yeah! +[4111.34 --> 4111.90] Anyways, +[4112.10 --> 4112.78] Crytek's CEO +[4112.78 --> 4113.70] is actually starting +[4113.70 --> 4114.66] to pay people again +[4114.66 --> 4115.06] hopefully +[4115.06 --> 4118.36] and he has fully admitted +[4118.36 --> 4120.22] to delaying paychecks. +[4121.36 --> 4121.72] Sketchy! +[4122.54 --> 4123.32] Some of the things +[4123.32 --> 4123.88] that he has said +[4123.88 --> 4124.64] is that he had +[4124.64 --> 4125.68] two choices really. +[4126.18 --> 4127.32] He either had a choice +[4127.32 --> 4128.68] to delay paychecks +[4128.68 --> 4130.12] delay, +[4130.60 --> 4131.02] I mean not, +[4131.28 --> 4132.08] they're not getting paid +[4132.08 --> 4132.90] he's just delaying them +[4132.90 --> 4133.72] to a further date +[4133.72 --> 4136.14] or to push your cash flow +[4136.14 --> 4136.94] directly to studios +[4136.94 --> 4138.94] and file for insolvency +[4138.94 --> 4139.98] because basically +[4139.98 --> 4140.40] he's saying +[4140.40 --> 4141.42] he had to delay paychecks +[4141.42 --> 4142.30] or get rid of +[4142.30 --> 4143.34] the entire company. +[4143.66 --> 4144.86] Both of them were bad +[4144.86 --> 4145.60] and he had to make +[4145.60 --> 4146.54] a decision +[4146.54 --> 4147.96] out of two bad decisions +[4147.96 --> 4148.72] which is actually +[4148.72 --> 4149.36] a pretty good point. +[4149.98 --> 4150.86] He's saying that +[4150.86 --> 4153.48] he also informed employees +[4153.48 --> 4155.28] that they told everyone +[4155.28 --> 4155.92] that this was going +[4155.92 --> 4156.42] to happen +[4156.42 --> 4157.46] and said that +[4157.46 --> 4158.24] they would offer help +[4158.24 --> 4159.50] if people wanted to +[4159.50 --> 4160.86] essentially resign +[4160.86 --> 4162.20] and find another job. +[4163.66 --> 4165.64] I was all on it +[4165.64 --> 4166.46] when he had his little +[4166.46 --> 4167.54] pep talk about being like +[4167.54 --> 4168.62] I was stuck between +[4168.62 --> 4169.76] a rock and a hard place +[4169.76 --> 4170.46] and I had to make +[4170.46 --> 4171.68] one bad decision +[4171.68 --> 4172.22] out of two +[4172.22 --> 4172.80] blah blah blah blah blah +[4172.80 --> 4174.04] but then when he's like +[4174.04 --> 4174.92] I gave them the option +[4174.92 --> 4176.38] to freely resign +[4176.38 --> 4178.50] or get a delayed paycheck +[4178.50 --> 4179.66] I think at that point +[4179.66 --> 4180.38] in time you have to +[4180.38 --> 4181.44] give them a severance package +[4181.44 --> 4182.54] because you're being a jerk. +[4183.56 --> 4184.64] Doesn't matter if you +[4184.64 --> 4185.96] only had two bad decisions +[4185.96 --> 4187.32] you're still being a jerk. +[4187.46 --> 4187.94] Doesn't matter if you +[4187.94 --> 4188.64] had to be a jerk +[4188.64 --> 4189.90] you're still being a jerk. +[4190.04 --> 4190.66] I don't think you have +[4190.66 --> 4191.04] to be like +[4191.04 --> 4192.54] you quit for nothing +[4192.54 --> 4193.36] and we'll help you +[4193.36 --> 4194.30] find another job +[4194.30 --> 4195.54] or you take a delayed +[4195.54 --> 4195.88] paycheck. +[4195.88 --> 4196.76] That's not right. +[4196.96 --> 4197.86] That's not right at all. +[4197.86 --> 4200.00] So I do feel bad +[4200.00 --> 4200.52] for the dude +[4200.52 --> 4201.64] and I'm happy +[4201.64 --> 4202.60] that they did get +[4202.60 --> 4203.48] a whole bunch of money +[4203.48 --> 4205.26] from their not saying yet +[4205.26 --> 4208.28] but I don't know +[4208.28 --> 4209.40] maybe still kind of +[4209.40 --> 4209.86] dealt with it +[4209.86 --> 4210.82] a little bit better +[4210.82 --> 4212.08] by treating your employees +[4212.08 --> 4212.90] a little bit better +[4212.90 --> 4214.08] then if you did +[4214.08 --> 4214.86] this leak probably +[4214.86 --> 4215.44] wouldn't have been +[4215.44 --> 4216.10] as bad +[4216.10 --> 4216.74] considering you've been +[4216.74 --> 4217.80] on all of the last +[4217.80 --> 4218.64] like three or four +[4218.64 --> 4219.26] WAN shows +[4219.26 --> 4220.08] you're probably +[4220.08 --> 4221.26] doing something wrong. +[4221.98 --> 4222.82] Usually if you do +[4222.82 --> 4223.70] something really good +[4223.70 --> 4225.00] you get on one WAN show. +[4225.76 --> 4226.24] Anyways +[4226.24 --> 4228.30] so in other news +[4228.30 --> 4229.42] EA is not doing +[4229.42 --> 4230.14] something terrible +[4230.14 --> 4230.86] they're giving +[4230.86 --> 4232.88] BF4 trial +[4232.88 --> 4234.08] for a week +[4234.08 --> 4234.86] I believe it's +[4234.86 --> 4236.92] 168 hours +[4236.92 --> 4237.86] of game time +[4237.86 --> 4238.94] so you can clock +[4238.94 --> 4240.16] those game time hours +[4240.16 --> 4241.04] whenever you want +[4241.04 --> 4241.66] because of +[4241.66 --> 4242.66] their kind of +[4242.66 --> 4243.36] free to play system. +[4243.78 --> 4245.04] Not too surprising though +[4245.04 --> 4246.04] because Hardline's coming +[4246.04 --> 4246.84] or is already out +[4246.84 --> 4247.30] I don't know +[4247.30 --> 4248.06] it's coming right? +[4248.40 --> 4249.48] Yeah they released +[4249.48 --> 4250.22] the beta for a little while +[4250.22 --> 4251.04] and then they pulled it back +[4251.04 --> 4251.74] so we don't know +[4251.74 --> 4252.80] I don't actually know +[4252.80 --> 4254.18] what the release time +[4254.18 --> 4254.64] for the game is +[4254.64 --> 4255.32] but I liked it. +[4255.32 --> 4256.02] I actually thought +[4256.02 --> 4256.62] it was pretty cool. +[4257.04 --> 4257.76] Yeah so my +[4257.76 --> 4258.86] thought process on this +[4258.86 --> 4259.44] is they're probably +[4259.44 --> 4260.14] trying to build hype +[4260.14 --> 4261.06] for Battlefield 4 again +[4261.06 --> 4262.42] so they can drop Hardline +[4262.42 --> 4263.70] and then all the people +[4263.70 --> 4264.46] that got all the hype +[4264.46 --> 4265.14] for Battlefield 4 +[4265.14 --> 4265.90] can buy Hardline. +[4266.90 --> 4267.50] I think they're just +[4267.50 --> 4268.28] making a mad scramble +[4268.28 --> 4268.96] to get a bunch of people +[4268.96 --> 4270.08] to beta test their netcode +[4270.08 --> 4270.68] so that they can get +[4270.68 --> 4272.04] issues worked out early. +[4272.66 --> 4273.44] One of those two +[4273.44 --> 4274.62] I think totally makes sense. +[4274.64 --> 4275.38] I'm voting for +[4275.38 --> 4276.50] you're being used. +[4277.02 --> 4277.62] Yeah yeah yeah. +[4277.96 --> 4278.84] Either way though +[4278.84 --> 4279.54] it's kind of cool +[4279.54 --> 4280.72] because 168 hours +[4280.72 --> 4281.70] is quite a bit of time. +[4281.70 --> 4282.94] Dude free is free. +[4283.22 --> 4283.48] Yeah. +[4283.48 --> 4284.52] That's the thing is +[4284.52 --> 4285.58] I tend not to complain +[4285.58 --> 4286.40] as much about games +[4286.40 --> 4286.82] that are free +[4286.82 --> 4287.36] as the games +[4287.36 --> 4288.50] I've paid like $400 +[4288.50 --> 4289.40] to play. +[4289.86 --> 4290.68] Electronic Arts +[4290.68 --> 4291.58] gotta buy your +[4291.58 --> 4292.32] Battlefield 4 +[4292.32 --> 4292.70] on what is it? +[4292.74 --> 4293.02] Xbox. +[4293.56 --> 4294.66] I got an Xbox 360 +[4294.66 --> 4295.50] Xbox One +[4295.50 --> 4296.46] PlayStation 4 +[4296.46 --> 4297.02] and PC +[4297.02 --> 4297.66] and two of them +[4297.66 --> 4298.50] I got premium on. +[4298.80 --> 4299.18] Why? +[4299.86 --> 4300.38] Because they took +[4300.38 --> 4300.80] all my money +[4300.80 --> 4301.32] they wanted to take +[4301.32 --> 4301.62] my money +[4301.62 --> 4302.50] so I just gave it to them +[4302.50 --> 4302.72] I was like +[4302.72 --> 4305.70] because I have people +[4305.70 --> 4306.18] I play with +[4306.18 --> 4306.66] on all those +[4306.66 --> 4307.20] different consoles +[4307.20 --> 4307.78] I got friends +[4307.78 --> 4308.16] I play with +[4308.16 --> 4308.42] Yeah. +[4309.14 --> 4309.54] You need to +[4309.54 --> 4310.06] consolidate +[4310.06 --> 4311.10] your friends list +[4311.10 --> 4311.50] man. +[4311.92 --> 4312.48] I'm going to start +[4312.48 --> 4312.76] doing that +[4312.76 --> 4312.96] I'm going to +[4312.96 --> 4313.50] list be like +[4313.50 --> 4314.08] yeah no +[4314.08 --> 4314.86] you got a PS4 +[4314.86 --> 4315.12] dude +[4315.12 --> 4316.20] I can't hang out +[4316.20 --> 4317.00] with you anymore. +[4317.40 --> 4318.04] Yeah I'm sorry +[4318.04 --> 4318.44] I've already got +[4318.44 --> 4319.16] like three people +[4319.16 --> 4319.54] over here +[4319.54 --> 4320.32] on this other console +[4320.32 --> 4320.72] so I'm just +[4320.72 --> 4320.96] going to have to +[4320.96 --> 4321.44] let you go +[4321.44 --> 4321.90] I'm sorry. +[4322.26 --> 4322.70] Here's your +[4322.70 --> 4323.58] severance package +[4323.58 --> 4323.92] and I'll +[4323.92 --> 4324.68] get some back. +[4325.26 --> 4326.02] Your severance package +[4326.02 --> 4326.94] is like a bag of cookies. +[4327.16 --> 4327.84] It is yeah +[4327.84 --> 4328.42] it's a bag of pickles +[4328.42 --> 4328.98] and like a code +[4328.98 --> 4329.60] for like a free +[4329.60 --> 4330.70] $5 game off Steam. +[4332.30 --> 4332.66] Yes. +[4332.88 --> 4333.44] Oh man +[4333.44 --> 4333.92] I probably shouldn't +[4333.92 --> 4334.22] have clapped +[4334.22 --> 4334.74] in front of the mic +[4334.74 --> 4335.94] but yeah +[4335.94 --> 4336.72] that's kind of +[4336.72 --> 4337.22] brutal man +[4337.22 --> 4337.58] I don't know +[4337.58 --> 4338.40] if I could do that. +[4339.14 --> 4339.54] I usually +[4339.54 --> 4340.42] try to find +[4340.42 --> 4341.06] the most people +[4341.06 --> 4341.48] that are going to +[4341.48 --> 4342.26] play a specific +[4342.26 --> 4343.30] game on a specific +[4343.30 --> 4344.06] platform which +[4344.06 --> 4345.10] nowadays is almost +[4345.10 --> 4345.74] always PC +[4345.74 --> 4346.38] thank you +[4346.38 --> 4347.28] group of friends +[4347.28 --> 4349.22] but and then +[4349.22 --> 4349.72] I would buy it +[4349.72 --> 4350.22] for that +[4350.22 --> 4350.92] so like back +[4350.92 --> 4351.20] in the day +[4351.20 --> 4352.26] I did get Halo 2 +[4352.26 --> 4353.94] so I played it +[4353.94 --> 4354.70] on Xbox +[4354.70 --> 4355.54] obviously because +[4355.54 --> 4356.04] a whole bunch +[4356.04 --> 4356.42] of my friends +[4356.42 --> 4357.50] played so I did +[4357.50 --> 4357.90] do that +[4357.90 --> 4358.58] I've followed +[4358.58 --> 4359.20] friends into +[4359.20 --> 4359.70] buying things +[4359.70 --> 4360.08] but I don't +[4360.08 --> 4360.62] think I've ever +[4360.62 --> 4361.58] bought something +[4361.58 --> 4362.58] on two different +[4362.58 --> 4363.62] platforms before +[4363.62 --> 4365.28] not even two +[4365.28 --> 4366.04] and then you +[4366.04 --> 4366.42] bought it for +[4366.42 --> 4366.80] how many? +[4367.18 --> 4368.02] I got it on +[4368.02 --> 4368.38] like four +[4368.38 --> 4368.76] no four +[4368.76 --> 4369.32] platforms +[4369.32 --> 4370.56] 360 +[4370.56 --> 4371.96] PlayStation 4 +[4371.96 --> 4373.92] Xbox One +[4373.92 --> 4375.12] and PC +[4375.12 --> 4375.92] PC okay +[4375.92 --> 4376.16] yeah +[4376.16 --> 4377.04] I'm all over +[4377.04 --> 4377.50] the place +[4377.50 --> 4378.24] that's pretty +[4378.24 --> 4378.42] it's hurt +[4378.42 --> 4378.86] it's hurt +[4378.86 --> 4379.48] for me +[4379.48 --> 4381.28] luckily you don't +[4381.28 --> 4381.70] have anyone +[4381.70 --> 4382.42] with Wii U +[4382.42 --> 4382.84] the thing is +[4382.84 --> 4383.46] it sucks on +[4383.46 --> 4383.84] every one of +[4383.84 --> 4384.26] the platforms +[4384.26 --> 4384.68] yet I keep +[4384.68 --> 4384.96] giving them +[4384.96 --> 4385.22] my money +[4385.22 --> 4385.64] I don't get +[4385.64 --> 4386.06] it +[4386.06 --> 4387.16] their marketing +[4387.16 --> 4387.72] department is +[4387.72 --> 4388.38] phenomenal +[4388.38 --> 4389.46] you know I +[4389.46 --> 4390.10] actually really +[4390.10 --> 4391.48] liked Battlefield +[4391.48 --> 4392.08] 3 +[4392.08 --> 4393.06] I did too +[4393.06 --> 4393.44] that was my +[4393.44 --> 4394.26] all time +[4394.26 --> 4394.52] favorite +[4394.52 --> 4394.88] Battlefield +[4394.88 --> 4395.68] my favorite +[4395.68 --> 4396.16] one was +[4396.16 --> 4399.00] honestly 1942 +[4399.00 --> 4400.18] but Bad Company +[4400.18 --> 4400.90] 2 was pretty +[4400.90 --> 4401.42] good I played +[4401.42 --> 4401.86] it for quite a +[4401.86 --> 4402.04] while +[4402.04 --> 4403.90] but Battlefield +[4403.90 --> 4404.52] 3 I played +[4404.52 --> 4405.04] a fair amount +[4405.04 --> 4405.60] and despite +[4405.60 --> 4406.12] all the bull +[4406.12 --> 4406.72] crap it was +[4406.72 --> 4407.54] somewhat okay +[4407.54 --> 4409.16] and then Battlefield +[4409.16 --> 4409.78] 4 came out +[4409.78 --> 4410.22] and I just can't +[4410.22 --> 4410.60] deal with their +[4410.60 --> 4411.66] junk anymore +[4411.66 --> 4412.48] I can't believe +[4412.48 --> 4413.36] Battlelog still +[4413.36 --> 4413.94] isn't fixed +[4413.94 --> 4415.94] the netcode's so +[4415.94 --> 4416.58] bad though +[4416.58 --> 4417.30] how did they go +[4417.30 --> 4418.18] from like decent +[4418.18 --> 4418.88] netcode to such +[4418.88 --> 4419.78] horrible netcode +[4419.78 --> 4420.38] like the rubber +[4420.38 --> 4421.58] banding and the +[4421.58 --> 4422.32] random pauses +[4422.32 --> 4423.02] and like the +[4423.02 --> 4423.58] hit markers +[4423.58 --> 4424.38] are you shooting +[4424.38 --> 4424.80] some dude +[4424.80 --> 4425.02] or whatever +[4425.02 --> 4425.42] you just shoot +[4425.42 --> 4425.94] out of nowhere +[4425.94 --> 4426.28] and it's like +[4426.28 --> 4426.92] some guy dies +[4426.92 --> 4427.16] you're like +[4427.16 --> 4427.74] where was he +[4427.74 --> 4428.10] and then he +[4428.10 --> 4428.68] just like appears +[4428.68 --> 4429.46] and dies in front +[4429.46 --> 4429.66] of you +[4429.66 --> 4430.00] you're like +[4430.00 --> 4430.50] uh +[4430.50 --> 4432.02] this is wrong +[4432.02 --> 4433.62] very wrong +[4433.62 --> 4435.26] I don't know man +[4435.26 --> 4437.22] it's no good +[4437.22 --> 4438.10] um +[4438.10 --> 4439.72] and it seems like +[4439.72 --> 4440.24] every single time +[4440.24 --> 4440.62] and people +[4440.62 --> 4441.26] people play me +[4441.26 --> 4441.62] for this +[4441.62 --> 4442.56] every single time +[4442.56 --> 4442.94] but I'm gonna +[4442.94 --> 4443.60] keep on saying +[4443.60 --> 4444.12] it because it's +[4444.12 --> 4444.38] true +[4444.38 --> 4445.44] every time I go +[4445.44 --> 4445.90] try to play +[4445.90 --> 4446.42] the game +[4446.42 --> 4447.70] you can't just +[4447.70 --> 4448.92] launch the game +[4448.92 --> 4449.62] nope +[4449.62 --> 4450.56] it's impossible +[4450.56 --> 4451.74] there's a battle log +[4451.74 --> 4452.08] update +[4452.08 --> 4452.88] there's an origin +[4452.88 --> 4453.34] update +[4453.34 --> 4453.92] there's an update +[4453.92 --> 4454.78] for the game +[4454.78 --> 4455.58] punk busters +[4455.58 --> 4456.22] bitching about +[4456.22 --> 4456.56] something +[4456.56 --> 4457.94] didn't work at +[4457.94 --> 4458.86] all because it +[4458.86 --> 4459.78] never does +[4459.78 --> 4460.98] and then for some +[4460.98 --> 4461.44] reason there's +[4461.44 --> 4462.18] the friends list +[4462.18 --> 4463.64] is down or not +[4463.64 --> 4464.66] working or the +[4464.66 --> 4465.28] server's having +[4465.28 --> 4466.14] problems or +[4466.14 --> 4466.96] there's a sound +[4466.96 --> 4467.72] bug which just +[4467.72 --> 4468.20] makes it so the +[4468.20 --> 4468.88] entire server is +[4468.88 --> 4469.74] muted and it's like +[4469.74 --> 4470.98] oh my god I just +[4470.98 --> 4471.84] want to play +[4471.84 --> 4472.72] leave me alone +[4472.72 --> 4473.62] this is the only +[4473.62 --> 4474.16] reason I like +[4474.16 --> 4474.78] consoles Luke +[4474.78 --> 4475.68] the only reason +[4475.68 --> 4476.30] is because you go +[4476.30 --> 4476.98] you put the damn +[4476.98 --> 4477.72] CD in the thing +[4477.72 --> 4479.24] most of the time +[4479.24 --> 4479.70] I'm not going to +[4479.70 --> 4480.22] say all the time +[4480.22 --> 4480.60] because I still +[4480.60 --> 4481.16] get that stupid +[4481.16 --> 4481.52] you got to +[4481.52 --> 4482.46] download 7 gigabyte +[4482.46 --> 4483.10] update every other +[4483.10 --> 4483.68] day but I'm going +[4483.68 --> 4484.18] to blow you up +[4484.18 --> 4485.40] for this because I +[4485.40 --> 4486.70] tried to do a +[4486.70 --> 4488.78] keymander video not +[4488.78 --> 4489.72] even that long ago +[4489.72 --> 4490.74] you know I'm sure +[4490.74 --> 4491.04] you know what +[4491.04 --> 4491.62] keymander is +[4491.62 --> 4492.74] I have no idea +[4492.74 --> 4493.54] what the hell is +[4493.54 --> 4494.26] keymander it's +[4494.26 --> 4494.90] this little in +[4494.90 --> 4495.70] between so you can +[4495.70 --> 4496.42] plug a keyboard and +[4496.42 --> 4496.96] mouse into your +[4496.96 --> 4497.96] console oh I've +[4497.96 --> 4498.62] got I've got one of +[4498.62 --> 4499.22] those it's just it's +[4499.22 --> 4499.60] from a different +[4499.60 --> 4500.44] company yeah +[4500.44 --> 4503.32] yeah I tried to do +[4503.32 --> 4503.96] a video on that +[4503.96 --> 4505.14] and the problem +[4505.14 --> 4506.44] ended up being that +[4506.44 --> 4507.48] it took me so long +[4507.48 --> 4508.34] to set up originally +[4508.34 --> 4510.60] because I put I +[4510.60 --> 4511.60] turned the Xbox on +[4511.60 --> 4512.22] and first of all +[4512.22 --> 4513.44] there's this massive +[4513.44 --> 4514.60] update and I'm like +[4514.60 --> 4516.86] okay whatever we +[4516.86 --> 4517.66] don't use Xbox one +[4517.66 --> 4519.54] that much at all so +[4519.54 --> 4520.22] it makes sense that I +[4520.22 --> 4520.68] had to do this +[4520.68 --> 4521.78] massive update but +[4521.78 --> 4522.66] then I put a dead +[4522.66 --> 4523.76] rising 3 disc in +[4523.76 --> 4524.74] that I had from a +[4524.74 --> 4525.30] buddy who is a +[4525.30 --> 4526.38] developer on the +[4526.38 --> 4527.44] game so it's like +[4527.44 --> 4528.58] the the case is all +[4528.58 --> 4529.14] signed and everything +[4529.14 --> 4529.80] it's kind of cool but +[4529.80 --> 4530.30] I've never played it +[4530.30 --> 4531.46] before so I put the +[4531.46 --> 4533.44] disc in and it +[4533.44 --> 4534.90] wouldn't load it +[4534.90 --> 4536.08] says please put an +[4536.08 --> 4536.90] Xbox game or +[4536.90 --> 4537.76] identifiable media +[4537.76 --> 4538.62] disc in the system +[4538.62 --> 4539.34] something along those +[4539.34 --> 4540.40] lines and I'm like +[4540.40 --> 4542.56] oh okay the disc is +[4542.56 --> 4543.22] dead I've never +[4543.22 --> 4543.92] played it before so +[4543.92 --> 4544.34] I wasn't too +[4544.34 --> 4545.14] surprised for a few +[4545.14 --> 4546.36] months sorry buddy but +[4546.36 --> 4547.26] I didn't play your +[4547.26 --> 4549.28] game so Linus sends +[4549.28 --> 4549.98] me off to the store +[4549.98 --> 4551.22] and I find a $20 +[4551.22 --> 4552.98] copy of Call of Duty +[4552.98 --> 4553.68] Ghost which was +[4553.68 --> 4554.66] hilarious because it +[4554.66 --> 4556.50] was so cheap and I +[4556.50 --> 4557.02] bring it back to +[4557.02 --> 4557.84] play on my Xbox one +[4557.84 --> 4559.34] and I put that in and +[4559.34 --> 4560.64] it doesn't load and +[4560.64 --> 4562.10] I'm like what the +[4562.10 --> 4562.98] hell okay so my +[4562.98 --> 4565.08] Xbox is broken and I +[4565.08 --> 4566.34] go to like lay it +[4566.34 --> 4567.10] down so that I can +[4567.10 --> 4568.46] unplug everything and +[4568.46 --> 4569.98] when I lay it down it +[4569.98 --> 4570.42] reads +[4570.42 --> 4572.70] nice +[4572.70 --> 4575.02] like really you +[4575.02 --> 4576.02] don't have vertical +[4576.02 --> 4577.52] disc reading support +[4577.52 --> 4580.50] I don't know if +[4580.50 --> 4581.02] that's actually an +[4581.02 --> 4581.86] issue with everyone but +[4581.86 --> 4582.74] we had that problem +[4582.74 --> 4584.76] which is just sad it +[4584.76 --> 4586.10] didn't work at all and +[4586.10 --> 4587.24] then finally I'm like +[4587.24 --> 4589.26] okay the game's working +[4589.26 --> 4589.88] now I'm just gonna +[4589.88 --> 4591.12] launch it play right +[4591.12 --> 4591.86] away because it's a +[4591.86 --> 4592.66] console there obviously +[4592.66 --> 4593.46] be no problem so I'm +[4593.46 --> 4593.90] just gonna put the +[4593.90 --> 4594.44] disc in it's gonna +[4594.44 --> 4595.38] work right that's how +[4595.38 --> 4596.88] consoles work massive +[4596.88 --> 4598.36] download required +[4598.36 --> 4599.90] Call of Duty Ghost +[4599.90 --> 4601.18] needs this like huge +[4601.18 --> 4602.16] download it has to +[4602.16 --> 4603.44] install locally on the +[4603.44 --> 4604.32] system and I'm like +[4604.32 --> 4606.02] this is this isn't a +[4606.02 --> 4606.92] console it's you're not +[4606.92 --> 4607.58] putting the disc in and +[4607.58 --> 4608.60] it works when I try to +[4608.60 --> 4610.08] play a game on my Wii if +[4610.08 --> 4611.08] there's a download it +[4611.08 --> 4612.54] takes two seconds and +[4612.54 --> 4613.92] it works immediately and +[4613.92 --> 4614.66] it just launches the +[4614.66 --> 4616.46] game automatically this +[4616.46 --> 4617.36] one had to install it +[4617.36 --> 4618.66] locally and download the +[4618.66 --> 4620.64] biggest patch ever and +[4620.64 --> 4621.36] it took up the whole +[4621.36 --> 4622.60] rest of the day and I +[4622.60 --> 4623.34] wasn't even able to get +[4623.34 --> 4624.52] that video done and +[4624.52 --> 4625.50] now it's just sitting on +[4625.50 --> 4626.62] my desk and I haven't +[4626.62 --> 4627.44] looked at it in weeks +[4627.44 --> 4628.20] because I'm just like +[4628.20 --> 4628.50] screw you +[4628.50 --> 4629.42] I think the whole update +[4629.42 --> 4630.86] thing is is completely +[4630.86 --> 4633.10] stupid like it doesn't +[4633.10 --> 4633.96] seem like they even try +[4633.96 --> 4634.82] to get the updates that +[4634.82 --> 4635.56] small because it's like +[4635.56 --> 4636.80] oh you look at the you +[4636.80 --> 4637.78] look like the change list +[4637.78 --> 4638.52] and the change list is +[4638.52 --> 4639.58] like oh we've improved +[4639.58 --> 4640.88] net code slightly yet it +[4640.88 --> 4641.68] has to download like +[4641.68 --> 4642.92] eight gigabytes of like +[4642.92 --> 4644.38] you know world maps and +[4644.38 --> 4646.02] textures and it's like +[4646.02 --> 4647.32] it just doesn't seem like +[4647.32 --> 4648.48] they try to minimize that +[4648.48 --> 4649.56] patching process they almost +[4649.56 --> 4650.36] like make you download the +[4650.36 --> 4651.34] whole game every time it +[4651.34 --> 4652.02] drives me nuts +[4652.02 --> 4653.90] they just it seems like +[4653.90 --> 4654.86] they tried to find +[4654.86 --> 4655.72] anything that could +[4655.72 --> 4656.74] possibly be annoying +[4656.74 --> 4658.18] about a PC version of +[4658.18 --> 4659.50] the game and then made +[4659.50 --> 4660.62] it happen on Xbox +[4660.62 --> 4661.60] I remember when I bought +[4661.60 --> 4662.64] Battlefield 4 it was like +[4662.64 --> 4663.34] what was it a four +[4663.34 --> 4665.56] gigabyte gigabyte update +[4665.56 --> 4666.98] for that thing literally +[4666.98 --> 4667.94] I had to start the update +[4667.94 --> 4668.98] and like go eat dinner +[4668.98 --> 4670.08] and you know go to the +[4670.08 --> 4671.62] lawn and go to work for a +[4671.62 --> 4672.22] week yeah no it's +[4672.22 --> 4672.62] ridiculous +[4672.62 --> 4673.72] people are asking why I +[4673.72 --> 4674.62] got Call of Duty Ghost +[4674.62 --> 4675.54] it's because it was the +[4675.54 --> 4676.62] cheapest game I could have +[4676.62 --> 4677.82] possibly bought for Xbox +[4677.82 --> 4678.66] One it's not because I +[4678.66 --> 4679.70] wanted to play it I was +[4679.70 --> 4680.60] trying to buy a game that +[4680.60 --> 4681.76] was a first-person shooter +[4681.76 --> 4683.06] that was as cheap as +[4683.06 --> 4683.84] possible because all I +[4683.84 --> 4684.70] wanted to do was show that +[4684.70 --> 4685.50] you could use a keyboard and +[4685.50 --> 4687.38] mouse in that game and +[4687.38 --> 4688.38] Dead Rising isn't +[4688.38 --> 4689.68] necessarily the right game +[4689.68 --> 4690.88] to properly show that off +[4690.88 --> 4692.18] for so I wanted to be able +[4692.18 --> 4693.86] to show fine movement with +[4693.86 --> 4695.18] a mouse so I thought of +[4695.18 --> 4696.68] getting Call of Duty Ghosts +[4696.68 --> 4698.56] but yeah I got frustrated by +[4698.56 --> 4700.54] the stupid X-Bone so I +[4700.54 --> 4701.46] kind of gave up on that +[4701.46 --> 4702.34] maybe I'll finish that video +[4702.34 --> 4702.96] at some point in time +[4702.96 --> 4703.82] because I think it's kind of +[4703.82 --> 4704.58] cool you can go to your +[4704.58 --> 4705.82] buddy's house that insists on +[4705.82 --> 4706.68] playing console and you can +[4706.68 --> 4707.58] bring your keymander and +[4707.58 --> 4708.44] wreck him because you have a +[4708.44 --> 4711.18] keyboard and mouse but people +[4711.18 --> 4712.46] get so mad at you if you +[4712.46 --> 4713.46] announce that you use that +[4713.46 --> 4715.62] though like I did a video +[4715.62 --> 4716.32] where I was on my test +[4716.32 --> 4717.40] I'm like hey guys look I'm +[4717.40 --> 4718.36] using my keyboard and mouse +[4718.36 --> 4720.10] oh god oh you're a big +[4720.10 --> 4720.86] cheater and I wasn't even +[4720.86 --> 4721.78] winning or anything I was +[4721.78 --> 4722.90] like still sucked horribly +[4722.90 --> 4724.88] but you kind of are because +[4724.88 --> 4726.62] it's so much better and like +[4726.62 --> 4727.70] I'm not even just master +[4727.70 --> 4728.80] racing right here keyboard and +[4728.80 --> 4731.62] mouse is so much better than +[4731.62 --> 4733.78] a controller and it even is +[4733.78 --> 4734.62] when you use something like a +[4734.62 --> 4736.34] keymander because you can +[4736.34 --> 4737.42] change your sensitivity and +[4737.42 --> 4738.30] stuff so you could make it +[4738.30 --> 4741.68] almost not really but you +[4741.68 --> 4742.58] can make it a fairly similar +[4742.58 --> 4743.96] experience to using input +[4743.96 --> 4745.46] devices on a normal computer +[4745.46 --> 4746.30] it's not going to be as great +[4746.30 --> 4748.64] but close kind of interesting +[4748.64 --> 4750.52] but yeah it's it's it's an +[4750.52 --> 4751.50] interesting video because I +[4751.50 --> 4752.48] want to make it so that +[4752.48 --> 4754.70] essentially based around how +[4754.70 --> 4757.08] to just completely wreck all +[4757.08 --> 4758.02] of your console friends +[4758.02 --> 4758.94] because you can bring this +[4758.94 --> 4759.84] around with you because I +[4759.84 --> 4761.10] think it works with Xbox one +[4761.10 --> 4763.42] Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 I +[4764.00 --> 4765.22] think mine only works with +[4765.22 --> 4766.86] 360 like it doesn't I don't +[4766.86 --> 4767.68] think it worked with anything +[4767.68 --> 4768.48] else I'll have to check I +[4768.48 --> 4770.10] think it's a Zim Zim edge or +[4770.10 --> 4772.34] something okay yeah yeah it +[4772.34 --> 4773.30] was cool how configurable it +[4773.30 --> 4773.78] is though because you can +[4773.78 --> 4775.06] set up macros and literally do +[4775.06 --> 4776.38] everything the timing between +[4776.38 --> 4777.44] button I mean you can +[4777.44 --> 4779.84] literally make one key like do +[4779.84 --> 4781.32] a like a combo like if you're +[4781.32 --> 4782.22] playing Mortal Kombat or so +[4782.22 --> 4783.28] if you have one key be like a +[4783.28 --> 4785.60] half moon BA and like always +[4785.60 --> 4787.48] nail that move so yeah I guess +[4787.48 --> 4788.52] I guess that is pretty pretty +[4788.52 --> 4790.34] pretty cheater device it's I'm +[4790.34 --> 4791.74] gonna take that to MLG and just +[4791.74 --> 4793.40] dominate oh yes I'll bring my +[4793.40 --> 4794.46] keyboard and mouse to my console +[4794.46 --> 4797.44] tournament um I I know like +[4797.44 --> 4799.10] who was I trying to say here +[4799.10 --> 4801.64] I I know a while ago there was +[4801.64 --> 4803.30] internal controller mods that +[4803.30 --> 4804.42] you could do where you can make +[4804.42 --> 4805.98] it so you just hold down fire +[4805.98 --> 4807.64] and it would fire semi-automatic +[4807.64 --> 4810.14] weapons at full speed so you +[4810.14 --> 4811.46] take like single shot rifles and +[4811.46 --> 4814.40] big back and like that I +[4814.40 --> 4815.12] remember back in the old +[4815.12 --> 4816.14] Nintendo games they used to have +[4816.14 --> 4817.44] those power controllers that you +[4817.44 --> 4818.72] get where you'd flip to a little +[4818.72 --> 4820.30] whatever give you turbo rapid +[4820.30 --> 4821.52] fire you'd have like six buttons +[4821.52 --> 4822.98] instead of four buttons instead +[4822.98 --> 4824.78] of two yeah that was awesome I +[4824.78 --> 4825.68] love that especially in those +[4825.68 --> 4826.88] games where you had like sit +[4826.88 --> 4828.02] there and just button mash the +[4828.02 --> 4829.02] hell out of something to achieve +[4829.02 --> 4829.98] a goal you just hold the button +[4829.98 --> 4833.56] down and be like yeah I win this +[4833.56 --> 4835.78] yeah I don't know those are +[4835.78 --> 4837.08] those are pretty cool but they +[4837.08 --> 4838.56] are definitely definitely +[4838.56 --> 4840.12] shooter devices but I hope to +[4840.12 --> 4841.24] have a video on that eventually +[4841.24 --> 4842.68] although every single time I go +[4842.68 --> 4843.90] work on that project I just get +[4843.90 --> 4845.44] super pissed at the Xbox and +[4845.44 --> 4847.46] quits so I don't know when that's +[4847.46 --> 4848.16] gonna be ready +[4848.16 --> 4849.66] at least you don't have to wrap +[4849.66 --> 4850.64] it in the blanket to make it +[4850.64 --> 4851.20] work okay +[4851.20 --> 4853.16] yeah maybe +[4853.16 --> 4857.40] so we get to do something fairly +[4857.40 --> 4858.42] fun actually +[4858.42 --> 4860.46] can you +[4860.46 --> 4862.74] no I don't think so +[4862.74 --> 4864.04] maybe not all right I'm just +[4864.04 --> 4864.54] gonna do this +[4864.54 --> 4867.22] I have to play around with screen +[4867.22 --> 4868.60] regions for a sec here +[4868.60 --> 4870.06] I never even had a chance you +[4870.06 --> 4871.08] didn't even tell me what I +[4871.08 --> 4872.58] know chance at all what we're +[4872.58 --> 4874.04] gonna do is a giveaway +[4874.04 --> 4877.42] if the name is the giveaway +[4877.42 --> 4877.80] for +[4877.80 --> 4880.00] just keep drawing until it is +[4880.00 --> 4880.72] okay +[4880.72 --> 4881.96] now Luke +[4881.96 --> 4883.86] I'm sure everybody watching is +[4883.86 --> 4885.72] gonna be totally cool with that +[4885.72 --> 4887.18] so what we're gonna be doing is +[4887.18 --> 4888.40] we're gonna be giving away a +[4888.40 --> 4891.78] R9 270 X and an OCZ Fatality +[4891.78 --> 4894.18] 1000 watt 80 plus gold power +[4894.18 --> 4896.46] supply with individually slaved +[4896.46 --> 4898.36] cables this is for one winner so +[4898.36 --> 4899.86] one winner is getting both it's a +[4899.86 --> 4901.00] slightly overpowered power supply +[4901.00 --> 4901.88] for that graphics card but +[4901.88 --> 4903.34] whatever don't worry about it +[4903.34 --> 4905.24] and we're gonna be random.org +[4905.24 --> 4907.00] drawing that right now so it's +[4907.00 --> 4908.38] based on a line of tech tips dot +[4908.38 --> 4909.42] com thread +[4909.42 --> 4911.56] so just give me one second and I +[4911.56 --> 4913.58] will pull this up on this monitor +[4913.58 --> 4914.98] because again my screen sharing is +[4914.98 --> 4917.64] not working at all so +[4917.64 --> 4919.72] not learn to come here literally +[4919.72 --> 4922.40] geez you learn a computer dude I am +[4922.40 --> 4923.80] come computer right now +[4923.80 --> 4926.94] it just gets mad at screen sharing +[4926.94 --> 4928.72] sometimes that's my excuse +[4928.72 --> 4931.88] sometimes I wonder if exploit was like +[4931.88 --> 4933.40] written in basic or something because +[4933.40 --> 4935.28] it's like oh my god is it bloatware +[4935.28 --> 4939.62] I know I'm not a huge fan of open +[4939.62 --> 4941.60] broadcaster either though I don't like +[4941.60 --> 4942.88] the interface I think it works better +[4942.88 --> 4944.80] overall once you get it configured but +[4944.80 --> 4946.18] god the whoever wrote the user's or +[4946.18 --> 4947.56] interface for that thing was like I +[4947.56 --> 4948.32] don't know I think he might have been +[4948.32 --> 4951.24] blind I just find that changing +[4951.24 --> 4953.52] things on the fly with open +[4953.52 --> 4955.80] broadcaster is a lot harder yeah you +[4955.80 --> 4958.22] set up everything everything perfectly +[4958.22 --> 4960.70] beforehand I prefer it but if you have +[4960.70 --> 4962.34] to mess with things while you're live +[4962.34 --> 4964.50] exactly prefer it and because we're so +[4964.50 --> 4967.00] ghetto sauce over here we always have +[4967.00 --> 4968.94] to mess with things while we're live so +[4968.94 --> 4970.22] we kind of have to just deal with +[4970.22 --> 4973.26] exploit yeah I kind of have this +[4973.26 --> 4976.10] working now is is this logged out it's +[4976.10 --> 4979.68] logged out perfect okay add screen +[4979.68 --> 4983.66] region this whole thing give me +[4983.66 --> 4990.66] inception here for a second +[4990.66 --> 4993.48] here you do that I'll just entertain +[4993.48 --> 4994.88] everybody with a little mini +[4994.88 --> 4996.84] barnacle's dancing we'll just do a little +[4996.84 --> 4997.78] mini barnacle's dancing +[4997.78 --> 5001.26] so you guys can see this is the +[5001.26 --> 5002.58] thread life text isn't chase two cents +[5002.58 --> 5004.70] giveaway so what we're gonna do is +[5004.70 --> 5007.40] there's 373 pages so I'm going to +[5007.40 --> 5012.80] random.org for one out of 373 so right +[5012.80 --> 5016.92] now we are drawing for the chance to +[5016.92 --> 5018.56] have a chance to win something +[5018.56 --> 5020.12] essentially because we're drawing the +[5020.12 --> 5022.56] page of which we will pick one out of +[5022.56 --> 5026.56] 20 people generate result is page 31 +[5026.56 --> 5030.02] so if I jump ahead one page here +[5030.02 --> 5033.26] everyone just went to the forum so it's +[5033.26 --> 5035.06] going super slow and then change the +[5035.06 --> 5038.72] URL from page dash 2 to page dash 31 +[5038.72 --> 5042.16] that should work just sweet that's the +[5042.16 --> 5046.64] page I'm on yes awesome is it no okay I

give it +[5211.48 --> 5214.16] to me I don't I don't think big Linus is +[5214.16 --> 5218.02] going to be getting that prize but yeah +[5218.02 --> 5220.02] we'll just redraw it so don't worry if +[5220.02 --> 5221.88] the guy has a low post count I think he +[5221.88 --> 5223.60] only had like four posts or something I +[5223.60 --> 5224.82] know tons of people freak out about that +[5224.82

there was no site is all +[5250.98 --> 5254.56] ominous now yeah go check this out I +[5254.56 --> 5256.12] believe it's just Sierra calm or something +[5256.12 --> 5258.56] that's your interactive anymore just see +[5258.56 --> 5260.56] oh okay let's see yeah so you're in a +[5260.56 --> 5261.98] active what used to be one of the great +[5261.98 --> 5266.06] publishers for PC gaming and just in +[5266.06 --> 5267.76] general to be completely honest you see +[5267.76 --> 5271.16] Larry Space Quest oh god they had +[5271.16 --> 5272.94] awesome games I love Sierra they like +[5272.94 --> 5275.92] dominated the 80s 90s yeah they've been +[5275.92 --> 5278.84] dead for a while now but there's been a +[5278.84 --> 5281.44] teaser post on their website and +[5281.44 --> 5284.30] Activision is suggesting their return at +[5284.30 --> 5288.30] Gamescom so we will see people are kind +[5288.30 --> 5289.78] of wondering what's your game sorry +[5289.78 --> 5292.38] Sierra game quick favorite all-time +[5292.38 --> 5293.02] Sierra game +[5293.02 --> 5297.90] that's such a hard question I know +[5297.90 --> 5298.80] that's a hard one huh +[5298.80 --> 5304.70] I'd probably have to see like a proper +[5304.70 --> 5305.22] list +[5305.22 --> 5308.72] let me see here Sierra +[5308.72 --> 5316.56] oh it's still a hard question dude +[5316.56 --> 5318.60] there's so many games like so many +[5318.60 --> 5322.54] probably Space Quest I was gonna say +[5322.54 --> 5324.82] the same thing Space Quest is my all-time +[5324.82 --> 5326.76] favorite Sierra game the whole series +[5326.76 --> 5329.26] was hilarious yeah it's still kind of +[5329.26 --> 5331.82] like I don't know but I'm gonna go with +[5331.82 --> 5333.20] Space Quest that's what I loved about +[5333.20 --> 5334.90] Sierra games though is every single one +[5334.90 --> 5336.88] of them had a really crude funny sense +[5336.88 --> 5338.82] of humor like full of you and those and +[5338.82 --> 5342.52] everything it was awesome someone just +[5342.52 --> 5343.28] said CSGO +[5343.28 --> 5349.40] I don't think so that's probably about +[5349.40 --> 5351.74] it we ended pretty much exactly on time +[5351.74 --> 5355.12] I'm probably going to be having a +[5355.12 --> 5358.42] after-party thing of my own today but +[5358.42 --> 5360.02] I don't know when it's gonna start I +[5360.02 --> 5362.84] got some stuff to do because this week's +[5362.84 --> 5364.48] nuts I'm probably gonna be streaming +[5364.48 --> 5366.04] later on in the weekend specifically +[5366.04 --> 5369.76] Sunday of just me working on projects +[5369.76 --> 5371.70] because I'm gonna be bored because I'm +[5371.70 --> 5373.10] working on projects because I have to +[5373.10 --> 5374.72] work on the weekend because Linus is +[5374.72 --> 5376.80] taking leave because he has like some +[5376.80 --> 5378.60] baby or some crap that's supposed to +[5378.60 --> 5380.10] actually matter I don't know not into +[5380.10 --> 5381.46] kids hey you know he's not even gonna +[5381.46 --> 5382.84] do anything he's just gonna he's gonna +[5382.84 --> 5384.04] sit there and play video games be like +[5384.04 --> 5386.62] yeah I'm watching the kid and his wife's +[5386.62 --> 5388.74] gonna be over there like half asleep just +[5388.74 --> 5391.02] oh my gosh gonna be horrible knowing him +[5391.02 --> 5394.36] in all seriousness he can't stop moving +[5394.36 --> 5396.76] for more than like five minutes because +[5396.76 --> 5398.70] he's this little tiny ball of energy so +[5398.70 --> 5401.72] so I'm sure he'll be doing a lot it's +[5401.72 --> 5402.88] not like you can hold the baby because +[5402.88 --> 5404.52] you can't physically lift that much +[5404.52 --> 5407.64] weight oh you know what's he gonna do +[5407.64 --> 5409.86] so you know there's there's been builds +[5409.86 --> 5411.24] in the past where I'll have to like pick +[5411.24 --> 5412.62] the computer up and put it on the table +[5412.62 --> 5414.00] so they could film b-roll of it because +[5414.00 --> 5415.72] it weighs too much you're basically you're +[5415.72 --> 5417.72] basically like just hired muscle but +[5417.72 --> 5419.58] then there's also the opposite when we're +[5419.58 --> 5421.68] installing soup certain coolers I have +[5421.68 --> 5423.48] to have him come in and help me like the +[5423.48 --> 5426.24] Dark Rock Pro 3 that cooler with certain +[5426.24 --> 5428.34] motherboards is so ridiculous I got called +[5428.34 --> 5430.12] out for like doing it wrong but like +[5430.12 --> 5432.78] dude I wasn't doing it wrong if people +[5432.78 --> 5434.64] saw I don't think we ended up including +[5434.64 --> 5436.62] this footage how Linus even eventually +[5436.62 --> 5441.74] was able to do it was holding the my +[5441.74 --> 5444.66] saying this right not the bolt is the +[5444.66 --> 5446.52] like screw type thing yeah I've held my +[5446.52 --> 5448.14] nut before I think you got it right okay +[5448.14 --> 5451.62] so he's holding it on the side of the +[5451.62 --> 5453.78] screwdriver bit because the screwdriver was +[5453.78 --> 5456.36] magnetic so on the side and then he like +[5456.36 --> 5459.18] hovered it into place and just got it to +[5459.18 --> 5461.38] thread slightly and then was able to do +[5461.38 --> 5462.82] it because it was so hard to actually get +[5462.82 --> 5465.78] in there with your fingers so that's what +[5465.78 --> 5468.18] we call those expert finaglers yes he was +[5468.18 --> 5470.30] an expert finagler and he had to help me +[5470.30 --> 5472.08] with that and that was a complete bullcrap +[5472.08 --> 5474.66] install so we help in both directions I am +[5474.66 --> 5476.58] not missing build logs if you guys saw +[5476.58 --> 5478.74] earlier in the show there is a thread for +[5478.74 --> 5480.96] you guys to go submit build logs right now +[5480.96 --> 5482.20] check it out on the forum we're doing a +[5482.20 --> 5484.80] big compilation of build logs and we'll be +[5484.80 --> 5486.52] moving to a different schedule so please +[5486.52 --> 5488.24] check that out on the forum I will see

I had a couple people complaining the volume was a little bit low in the pre-show, but, uh, oh, I don't know what this thing does. Okay, forget it. Nope, nope, we're done with that. Anyway, so the reason for that is that we actually talk quite a bit louder during the show. We got our announcer voices on. +[21.14 --> 49.76] Dun-dun-dun! Dun-dun-dun! And our announcer hats. So, guys, we actually have a fantastic show for you today. Our special guest this week is the one and only Tom Merritt of Sword and Laser, formerly of TwitTV. Now he's doing his own thing with some amazing support from the community, so we've got him on to discuss some hardcore tech topics, and maybe we'll pick his brain a little bit about the transition from, you know, working for the man to going indie. +[49.76 --> 77.84] Something we can't relate to. At all. At all. Uh-huh. All right, topics for today. The, um, this is gonna just have everyone in tears. The Magic the Gathering Online Exchange has closed. Oh my god. Which might not seem like a big deal, except that Mt. Gox stands for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange. I love the professionalism of this show. +[77.84 --> 89.46] We're trying to bring breaking news to the people, and you're throwing your phone around. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. All right, next up, WhatsApp is still not a social network, according to me. We need a t-shirt. +[89.46 --> 100.70] Um, everyone is bailing, and by everyone we mean like everyone, like millions of people, but not actually six billion people, is bailing to Telegram. +[100.70 --> 106.46] So that's a former competitor, and I say competitor because they weren't even really that significant. No. +[106.94 --> 112.50] Until all of a sudden, after the Facebook acquisition, there's movement going on. What else we got? +[112.54 --> 119.76] You know that Twitter account, is Half-Life 3 released yet? And it's just like, no, no, no, no. And it's just a bot that says, no, we should make it. +[119.76 --> 128.68] Is WhatsApp a social media network yet? No, no, no. And then Facebook destroys it, makes a whole new thing. Yes, yes, yes. +[129.04 --> 135.60] Anyways, Spritz is a kind of amazing thing, which may change how you read things on different platforms and different devices. +[136.02 --> 141.82] Mainly smartphones and Google Glass and like smartwatches and stuff like that. That's going to be really interesting. We'll talk about that later. +[141.82 --> 149.86] If you guys are waiting for me to rant about something, this is likely to be it. +[150.02 --> 150.58] That topic. +[151.08 --> 156.74] That topic has, you know, I don't, okay, I'm not going to do this right now. It's intro time. +[171.82 --> 201.80] Thank you. +[201.82 --> 207.64] exclusive stuff as part of Intel Club Enthusiast. More on that later on in this +[207.64 --> 212.58] show. So let's kick things off right here with a big shout out to Ghost from the +[212.58 --> 217.42] Forum for his help with a bit of a sort of producer role on the WAN show today. +[217.42 --> 221.92] We are very very grateful because we have a pretty fantastic show for you +[221.92 --> 229.30] guys. Let's start with the HTC Power to Give. This is a program that much like +[229.30 --> 233.68] other distributed computing, I guess I don't know what we would call them, +[233.68 --> 236.74] networks, programs, whatever you want to call them, things like Folding at Home, +[236.74 --> 242.54] Boink, SETI at Home, is enabling you to take extra processing power you otherwise +[242.54 --> 245.68] wouldn't be using. See look I got one of those too. See it's kind of like the thing +[245.68 --> 252.28] in the picture. And use it to contribute to a fantastic cause. So more details. +[252.28 --> 254.90] This is actually really cool. One thing that I wanted to throw on here is that our +[254.90 --> 259.12] folding team on the forum is now 49th in the world. So that's awesome. And while +[259.12 --> 263.68] this doesn't necessarily pertain to folding as this is a Boink back end, not a +[263.68 --> 267.40] folding back end, still very cool. And we do have a Boink team as well which is +[267.40 --> 273.10] again very strong. But Boink is fairly divided. You can you can pick what you +[273.10 --> 276.82] want to go for. Folding is one kind of one direction. Boink is whatever the heck you +[276.82 --> 277.50] want to do. +[277.50 --> 280.24] Cause they've got that one thing. +[280.24 --> 287.50] I really shouldn't have said one direction. That was a terrible idea. One specific angle that they're going on. +[287.50 --> 288.50] One vector. +[288.50 --> 292.06] One vector. That should be the new brand. The new band. +[292.06 --> 295.78] One vector. One vector is like a cheap one direction knockoff. Like slightly nerdier version. +[295.78 --> 296.78] Yeah, nerdy. +[296.78 --> 297.78] Nerdy direction. +[297.78 --> 302.06] All right I'm sorry we got off topic there. +[302.06 --> 316.06] Awesome. Okay so right now for compatibility there's beta compatibility on HTC One. The whole family. The HTC Butterfly and the HTC Butterfly S. Although there is much more compatibility coming apparently in the next six months. +[316.06 --> 320.20] And it will only run while the phone is charging. So it's probably going to be more of an overnight +[320.20 --> 324.34] thing. What that's going to do for your battery charging I don't know. Although I fully expect +[324.34 --> 328.22] that overnight even running this your battery is still going to be at full by the time you +[328.22 --> 329.06] wake up. +[329.06 --> 333.70] Yeah I mean and like I haven't tried it yet. But if they offer configurability options like +[333.70 --> 338.30] where you can say okay don't run this when I'm charging during the day but run it during +[338.30 --> 342.18] these hours when I'm charging. Like time frame charging. Yeah like I can't see this having +[342.18 --> 348.48] a negative impact on your phone other than running warm which based on the way that mobile +[348.48 --> 352.80] processors are able to throttle themselves from heat should actually be fine. They shouldn't +[352.80 --> 357.14] overheat. Yeah. It looks like a fantastic way to contribute positively. So you can actually +[357.14 --> 363.30] decide if you want to contribute to medicine, science, ecology or whatever it happens to be. +[363.30 --> 368.30] Like Luke said, folding at home is just protein folding. Like that's pretty much it. Which +[368.30 --> 373.30] is awesome. But. And if everyone with an HTC One smartphone installed it there's about a +[373.30 --> 378.30] million. Oh no. No no hold on. Sorry. There's more. If one million people with HTC One smartphones +[378.30 --> 383.30] installed it we could be looking at similar processing power to that of one of the world's +[383.30 --> 389.30] 30 top supercomputers. So about one petaflop. It's like pretty epic. This could be a really +[389.30 --> 394.30] big deal. I hope this expands. I hope it doesn't just stay with HTC. I hope this goes everything. +[394.30 --> 396.30] Because I'd be more than happy. And with the heating thing that you talked about. Yeah. +[396.30 --> 401.30] It would be a really small investment. Yeah. To get some sort of plate that would pull the +[401.30 --> 405.30] heat from it. Or to get like a little router cooler. Right. Or something like that that could +[405.30 --> 409.30] just cool your phone down. Which would probably be better for your phone and would just allow +[409.30 --> 412.30] it to operate at a higher processing level anyways. Because it gets warm while it's charging +[412.30 --> 418.30] anyway. Yeah. So having it somewhere safe is not necessarily a bad idea anyhow. No. And neither of those +[418.30 --> 423.30] things would really be a giant investment. So you opt in simply by heading over to the +[423.30 --> 428.30] Play Store link. Which I can sort of show you guys right here. So it's HTC Power to Give. +[428.30 --> 433.30] There's already. It's a five star rated app with over a thousand ratings already. So it looks like +[433.30 --> 439.30] people are really getting on board this. And that is. That is pleasing and good news. +[439.30 --> 442.30] I think it's really cool. And they did it in a really smart way. Making it so it only does it when you're +[442.30 --> 446.30] charging was really smart. I think if they didn't have that in place I probably wouldn't get behind it. +[446.30 --> 450.30] Yeah. Even if it wasn't the default I think it would be a terrible choice. +[450.30 --> 458.30] Yeah. Alright. Speaking of terrible choices. Space Jam 2 is not as confirmed as we had thought that it was +[458.30 --> 466.30] based on the rumors that were floating around last week. So unfortunately the sequel to... +[466.30 --> 470.30] Okay. First of all I liked Space Jam. Why don't they just do it? I wish they would. +[470.30 --> 474.30] I don't like... Space Jam was freaking awesome. I love Space Jam. +[474.30 --> 476.30] Okay. I think saying freaking awesome should be... +[476.30 --> 480.30] There should be like an asterisk. Well it's freaking awesome in the same way that Bill and Ted's +[480.30 --> 482.30] Excellent Adventure was freaking awesome. Okay. Yes. +[482.30 --> 486.30] It was like ridiculous. Yeah. But good. Yeah. +[486.30 --> 490.30] Anyway. Okay. So initially there was like... +[490.30 --> 497.30] There were rumors that Warner Brothers was partnering with Charlie and Willie Ebersole on Space Jam 2. +[497.30 --> 505.30] They said the movie was still in early stages. However, reporters from ESPN are refuting the claim. +[505.30 --> 509.30] But no one from Warner Brothers is denying anything. +[509.30 --> 517.30] And they're saying it where while there wasn't substantive discussions there may have been non-substantive discussions. +[517.30 --> 523.30] Which are... It's not terrible. I liked it a lot more when they were in early stages of the movie. +[523.30 --> 525.30] Because that means it's coming. +[525.30 --> 529.30] LeBron James, who was rumored to be the star of it, said, +[529.30 --> 531.30] It would be great, but it's news to me. +[531.30 --> 537.30] So, I think even no matter how early the stages of the discussion are, +[537.30 --> 542.30] If you're like deciding on who the main actor is gonna be, they should probably know about it. +[542.30 --> 543.30] Yeah. +[543.30 --> 546.30] Especially if they're like a basketball player and probably busy. +[546.30 --> 547.30] Yeah. +[547.30 --> 550.30] I'd imagine LeBron James has a fairly busy daily life. +[550.30 --> 552.30] He's got stuff to do. +[552.30 --> 554.30] Like throwing rubber balls through hoops. +[554.30 --> 555.30] Shoot. +[555.30 --> 556.30] You know. +[556.30 --> 558.30] I'm sure he has lots of other things to do. +[558.30 --> 560.30] LeBron, if you're watching, I don't mean any offense. +[560.30 --> 563.30] And I'm very certain you're not watching, but... +[563.30 --> 565.30] Like 100%. +[565.30 --> 566.30] Wouldn't that be cool? +[566.30 --> 569.30] You know what was actually really funny? +[569.30 --> 573.30] John Hedder retweeted our contest. +[573.30 --> 576.30] The Napoleon Dynamite guy, for those of you who don't know who that is. +[576.30 --> 580.30] So, our giveaway was tweeted by John freaking Hedder. +[580.30 --> 585.30] And I was like, who managed to get John Hedder to tweet about our giveaway? +[585.30 --> 586.30] That's so cool. +[586.30 --> 589.30] And there was a basketball player too, actually. +[589.30 --> 592.30] Like, not LeBron James, but like pro-level basketball. +[592.30 --> 593.30] No, I remember this. +[593.30 --> 595.30] Like that contest spread all over. +[595.30 --> 598.30] Speaking of which, today is the last day for entry. +[598.30 --> 601.30] So, anything sitting in my inbox, my Midnight Tonight counts. +[601.30 --> 603.30] Anything else doesn't. +[603.30 --> 607.30] And I've had a few people ask me how I'm doing the draw, and it is going to be difficult. +[607.30 --> 610.30] I'm going to be using random.org to determine... +[610.30 --> 615.30] Once I've determined how many are on each page, I'm going to be using random.org to determine a random page for me. +[615.30 --> 618.30] And then I'm going to actually have to click load more that many times. +[618.30 --> 620.30] It's probably going to take me a while. +[620.30 --> 623.30] Like, I'm going to have like a laptop sitting there that's just for that. +[623.30 --> 625.30] And like, when I'm eating my dinner, I'll just like... +[625.30 --> 629.30] Dung, dung, dung, dung, dung. +[629.30 --> 631.30] That's going to be the only way to do it fairly. +[631.30 --> 634.30] I wasn't expecting like 50,000 people to enter the giveaway. +[634.30 --> 638.30] Which is fantastic, but also terrifying. +[638.30 --> 641.30] Speaking of fantastic, but also terrifying. +[641.30 --> 643.30] Um, NewWay... +[643.30 --> 644.30] Why is this terrifying? +[644.30 --> 647.30] Well, it's terrifying potentially to UK e-tailers. +[647.30 --> 648.30] Uh... +[648.30 --> 649.30] Uh... +[649.30 --> 652.30] And potentially fantastic for UK customers. +[652.30 --> 657.30] Um, so I think the, uh, the article from Hexus is probably a little bit generous to NewWay. +[657.30 --> 662.30] Amazon rival NewWay expected to launch in the UK next month. +[662.30 --> 663.30] I think calling... +[663.30 --> 666.30] No offense to the NewWay TV guys, cause like nothing personal. +[666.30 --> 667.30] Whoever they are. +[667.30 --> 670.30] But like, my grudge match with NewWay goes... +[670.30 --> 676.30] Before their times, before I was doing YouTube videos, it like goes way back. +[676.30 --> 682.30] Cause, you know, NCIX competes with NewWay, particularly now that NewWay is in Canada, +[682.30 --> 687.30] in the same way that a horse competes with a mouse in Canada. +[687.30 --> 691.30] In the US, NewWay is a big deal. +[691.30 --> 696.30] They are, they have an excellent filter-based search mechanism to find technology. +[696.30 --> 698.30] Their website is so much better than NCIX. +[698.30 --> 705.30] They have great photos, like great product photos, which I've been informed that they actually take, +[705.30 --> 711.30] versus, you know, forcing the manufacturer to do it, which is why they are often so much better than what the manufacturer provides. +[711.30 --> 720.30] But, they have the same logistical disadvantages, trying to expand into a new country, that anyone else does. +[720.30 --> 727.30] And they will be a small start-up in that country, compared to the established players, the same way anyone else is. +[727.30 --> 737.30] NewWay.ca is not a big deal, in much the same way that I would be very surprised if NewWay.co.uk was a big deal. +[737.30 --> 738.30] Because... +[738.30 --> 744.30] The only time I've ever seen a company get around this was actually Best Buy coming into Canada. +[744.30 --> 746.30] Because they just bought Future Shop. +[746.30 --> 749.30] Well yeah, they bought the existing, what was basically Best Buy already. +[749.30 --> 755.30] Yeah, yeah. So they just bought them, and the reason why they bought them was all of the warehouses and distribution lines. +[755.30 --> 756.30] Yes. So... +[756.30 --> 757.30] So they bought the logistics. +[757.30 --> 758.30] Yeah. +[758.30 --> 761.30] And then they went and put Best Buy stores right next to the Future Shop stores, everywhere. +[761.30 --> 762.30] Yep. +[762.30 --> 764.30] And, well, we see how that's working out for them. +[764.30 --> 767.30] But actually, Best Buy Canada is doing better than Best Buy USA, in terms of... +[767.30 --> 768.30] Yes, but... +[768.30 --> 771.30] ...like, generally, probably gonna go out of business-ness. +[771.30 --> 772.30] Still buying. +[772.30 --> 774.30] Well, they're still gonna, generally, probably gonna go out of business-ness. +[774.30 --> 775.30] Yeah, but it might take longer. +[775.30 --> 776.30] Just probably a little bit later. +[776.30 --> 777.30] Yeah. +[777.30 --> 778.30] Yeah. +[778.30 --> 779.30] So, there's that. +[779.30 --> 780.30] But, here. +[780.30 --> 781.30] Here's the reason. +[781.30 --> 783.30] Buying from an online retailer. +[783.30 --> 786.30] Why do you pick one over another one? +[786.30 --> 787.30] Habit? +[787.30 --> 788.30] Trust? +[788.30 --> 792.30] Because, with electronics, it's not really prices anymore. +[792.30 --> 794.30] They're so close. +[794.30 --> 803.30] Like, it's... you could shop piece by piece in places like... you could go Amazon versus Newegg versus NCIX, and these would be cheaper here, and these would be cheaper here, and these would be cheaper here. +[803.30 --> 806.30] And you could do that, but most people aren't willing to do that much work. +[806.30 --> 808.30] Let's be honest with ourselves. +[808.30 --> 810.30] Most people are just gonna buy from one. +[810.30 --> 825.30] And what I have found, when I've been pricing out things for build guides, because I tend to start out with a price budget, and then completely blow over it, but that's besides the point, is when I put together a whole system from any one of them, it comes out about the same. +[825.30 --> 831.30] Even though there might be price differences as much as, like, $20 or $30 on an individual part, it gets made up somewhere else. +[831.30 --> 832.30] Yeah. +[832.30 --> 835.30] So, I think that Newegg is going to struggle. +[835.30 --> 840.30] But I also think that they don't really have any other ideas for how to expand their business. +[840.30 --> 846.30] Because, you know, you look at what Amazon's done so well, breaking out of books into other things. +[846.30 --> 852.30] But Newegg doesn't have the advantage of books, in that the margin is phenomenal. +[852.30 --> 854.30] So that's a lot of money to reinvest into other things. +[854.30 --> 856.30] Electronics margins are terrible. +[856.30 --> 861.30] Last time Newegg tried to go public, I think their net profit was something like 1%. +[861.30 --> 865.30] So your net profit is after all of your operating expenses. +[865.30 --> 868.30] Which is just, it's not good, no one's gonna invest in that company. +[868.30 --> 869.30] No, no. +[869.30 --> 872.30] And it's hard to, yeah, it's hard to, like, do things. +[872.30 --> 873.30] That makes sense. +[873.30 --> 879.30] Like, despite being the white knight of the patent trolling industry and all that other kind of stuff that they were not that long ago, +[879.30 --> 881.30] they don't actually have this giant wad of cash. +[881.30 --> 884.30] Well, I'm sure they do, but not as giant as, like, Amazon. +[884.30 --> 885.30] As Amazon. +[885.30 --> 886.30] Or Apple. +[886.30 --> 887.30] It's not the same kinds of resources. +[887.30 --> 889.30] I don't think Amazon has much cash, actually. +[889.30 --> 891.30] Well, they probably throw it around way too much. +[891.30 --> 894.30] Yeah, but I mean, not as much to work with. +[894.30 --> 895.30] Let's just say that. +[895.30 --> 896.30] Yeah. +[896.30 --> 898.30] Alright, so this is very interesting. +[898.30 --> 902.30] This is, uh, heh heh heh, I totally called this. +[902.30 --> 903.30] So check this out, guys. +[903.30 --> 906.30] This is a tweet from Telegram Messenger. +[906.30 --> 915.30] So I, to give you guys some idea of how big Telegram Messenger was before now, um, I'd never heard of it. +[915.30 --> 916.30] Me neither. +[916.30 --> 923.30] But it's a messaging app, presumably, I've never even used it, presumably somewhat similar to WhatsApp, +[923.30 --> 937.30] that it was the number one most downloaded iPhone app in 48 countries, with 4.95 million people who signed up in one day, February 23rd. +[937.30 --> 942.30] Kind of cool that their servers didn't just completely kill themselves. +[942.30 --> 943.30] Yeah! +[943.30 --> 952.30] That's one thing that I noticed, actually, was they were tweeting that out, um, in no small part, I'm sure, to keep the ball rolling and all this kind of stuff, +[952.30 --> 957.30] and I heard nothing about, oh my god, everyone just switched to Telegram and it totally doesn't work at all. +[957.30 --> 959.30] I didn't hear that, ever. +[959.30 --> 960.30] So... +[960.30 --> 963.30] So you can check out the full article over on Bloomberg.com. +[963.30 --> 964.30] Uh, the headline is, +[964.30 --> 969.30] The Zuckerberg of Russia gets a boost from the real Facebook CEO's WhatsApp deal. +[969.30 --> 977.30] So, there's a lot of, there's a lot of talk about what's happening here, but let's go back to what we said last week. +[977.30 --> 979.30] WhatsApp is not a social network. +[979.30 --> 981.30] It is a utility. +[981.30 --> 988.30] It's a, it's a social network in the same way that picking up a phone and calling someone and talking to them is a social network. +[988.30 --> 996.30] To which he said, well, you can have conversations with multiple, multiple people across WhatsApp, uh, you know, group conversation. +[996.30 --> 998.30] To which I said, three-way calling. +[998.30 --> 999.30] Yep. +[999.30 --> 1001.30] Three-way calling is not a social network. +[1001.30 --> 1006.30] And as much as the justification for the purchase of WhatsApp, there were a couple of different ways to look at it. +[1006.30 --> 1015.30] Number one was, well, the biggest justification was you look at it in terms of cost per user to acquire a social network that you can then figure out how to monetize, +[1015.30 --> 1019.30] which made it worth 19 billion in cash and stock options. +[1019.30 --> 1026.30] To which I kind of went, well, what's to prevent those people from just bailing the second you try to monetize anything they're doing? +[1026.30 --> 1028.30] Or even before. +[1028.30 --> 1030.30] And way before, apparently. +[1030.30 --> 1035.30] Uh, so I actually just installed it, set it up, and am already activated. +[1035.30 --> 1037.30] While you were doing that blurb. +[1037.30 --> 1041.30] And as far as I can tell, it's like a blue skinned version of WhatsApp. +[1041.30 --> 1042.30] Alright. +[1042.30 --> 1044.30] Even the install process was almost exactly the same. +[1044.30 --> 1047.30] So if you're looking for an alternative, not necessarily a bad idea. +[1047.30 --> 1052.30] Well, they've got only 20 million registered users compared to WhatsApp's 450 million. +[1052.30 --> 1056.30] So it's not like overnight Telegram has become the new WhatsApp. +[1056.30 --> 1062.30] But with as many as 4.95 million signups per day compared to WhatsApp's 1 million per day, +[1062.30 --> 1068.30] it doesn't make WhatsApp look like such a shoe-in winner in the alternative messaging space. +[1068.30 --> 1075.30] And this is more reinforcement of my perception that you look at how quickly BlackBerry Messenger was completely displaced. +[1075.30 --> 1077.30] It became irrelevant. +[1077.30 --> 1079.30] You look at what happened to ICQ. +[1079.30 --> 1080.30] You look what happened to MSN Messenger. +[1080.30 --> 1088.30] Something new just has to come along and even more than with social networks, like the way we saw MySpace just completely disappear. +[1088.30 --> 1095.30] Like Facebook has shown that social networks can have some resiliency even once they start to try to monetize their user base. +[1095.30 --> 1097.30] Messaging applications? +[1097.30 --> 1105.30] Someone's gonna come along and build something lighter weight that's more private and free and... +[1105.30 --> 1106.30] Yeah. +[1106.30 --> 1113.30] And they're gonna capitalize on the fact that companies like Facebook think that that's worth 19 billion. +[1113.30 --> 1121.30] So someone is gonna get some seed funding and build something better in hopes that they get their 19 billion and it's gonna happen over and over and over again. +[1121.30 --> 1123.30] I'm sure the WhatsApp guys are super stoked. +[1123.30 --> 1124.30] Yeah. +[1124.30 --> 1126.30] That's like pretty much all I have to say. +[1126.30 --> 1127.30] They won so hard. +[1127.30 --> 1128.30] Oh yeah. +[1128.30 --> 1129.30] Like... +[1129.30 --> 1130.30] They raked in... +[1130.30 --> 1131.30] They had like 50 employees. +[1131.30 --> 1132.30] Everybody! +[1132.30 --> 1133.30] It's just... +[1133.30 --> 1134.30] Ballin! +[1134.30 --> 1137.30] Has like the biggest smile on their face right now. +[1137.30 --> 1138.30] Yeah. +[1138.30 --> 1150.30] And some of the scary part of this is that Telegram is seeing huge growth in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and throughout Latin America, regions in which Mr. Zuckerberg had said that WhatsApp was strongest. +[1150.30 --> 1151.30] So... +[1151.30 --> 1154.30] And this is before they've even tried to change anything. +[1154.30 --> 1157.30] I don't think WhatsApp has even had a software update. +[1157.30 --> 1158.30] Don't think so. +[1158.30 --> 1159.30] Since the acquisition. +[1159.30 --> 1160.30] Meaning literally nothing has changed. +[1160.30 --> 1166.30] So just because of Facebook's ownership, people are jumping off board. +[1166.30 --> 1171.30] And honestly, someone found the right application as far as I can tell. +[1171.30 --> 1173.30] Because like I just said, as far as I can tell, it's the same thing. +[1173.30 --> 1174.30] Right. +[1174.30 --> 1177.30] Which is like exactly what people probably wanted. +[1177.30 --> 1179.30] They wanted the same thing but not owned by Facebook. +[1179.30 --> 1181.30] But I mean the acquisition might still be okay. +[1181.30 --> 1195.30] If they're gaining a million users per day, even if they lose 5 million a day for a period of time here, it's not like, you know, your mom or like, you know, my badminton buddies who aren't tech savvy are immediately gonna switch. +[1195.30 --> 1203.30] And with how people rate users for phone applications, they're probably not losing all the users that are going to Telegram. +[1203.30 --> 1204.30] Right. +[1204.30 --> 1205.30] Yeah. +[1205.30 --> 1208.30] They're probably just that many people also getting Telegram. +[1208.30 --> 1209.30] So they're not necessarily losing all these people. +[1209.30 --> 1213.30] With that said, okay, you know what, I'm actually gonna disagree with what I just said. +[1213.30 --> 1218.30] Because in my mind, something like WhatsApp is kinda geeky. +[1218.30 --> 1224.30] Like it's more geeky than picking up a phone or sending a text message or sending an email. +[1224.30 --> 1233.30] Like my mom and grandpa have WhatsApp but the only reason why they have WhatsApp is because I have informed them that they can message each other from very far away without fees. +[1233.30 --> 1235.30] And they're both like, what the heck is this? +[1235.30 --> 1236.30] And then eventually just got used to it. +[1236.30 --> 1237.30] Right. +[1237.30 --> 1246.30] So there is something to be said for being first and having that, the Kleenex or the Xerox effect where you're, you become synonymous with the service. +[1246.30 --> 1247.30] Yeah. +[1247.30 --> 1249.30] So it's not like they're gonna go away immediately. +[1249.30 --> 1250.30] Nope. +[1250.30 --> 1255.30] But, but then, the geeky people, the ones who advocated WhatsApp. +[1255.30 --> 1256.30] Influence, yeah. +[1256.30 --> 1257.30] And drove that. +[1257.30 --> 1263.30] I mean, to me, those guys seem like the kinds of guys who are gonna be driving something else. +[1263.30 --> 1264.30] So. +[1264.30 --> 1268.30] Well, everyone, like I said in the last show, people freaked out, which makes sense. +[1268.30 --> 1270.30] I did as well. +[1270.30 --> 1274.30] When Facebook did that update where they can read your text messages and call status. +[1274.30 --> 1276.30] Um, people don't want that. +[1276.30 --> 1277.30] Yeah. +[1277.30 --> 1279.30] NSA and all that kind of stuff is a big deal right now. +[1279.30 --> 1280.30] Back off. +[1280.30 --> 1281.30] And then. +[1281.30 --> 1283.30] But then, look at how we accept Google reading our emails. +[1283.30 --> 1286.30] Is it just a matter of getting used to it again? +[1286.30 --> 1289.30] Uh, maybe, but people aren't getting used to it anymore. +[1289.30 --> 1291.30] I don't know why Google gets a free pass. +[1291.30 --> 1292.30] I don't know why Google gets a free pass. +[1292.30 --> 1294.30] Probably because all other email services are horrible. +[1294.30 --> 1297.30] Yeah, it could have something to do with it. +[1297.30 --> 1298.30] But, like. +[1298.30 --> 1299.30] You know what, guys? +[1299.30 --> 1300.30] We wanna hear from you. +[1300.30 --> 1302.30] Are you gonna switch to Telegram? +[1302.30 --> 1304.30] Or are you gonna look for something else? +[1304.30 --> 1308.30] Are you gonna, you know, look for a BitTorrent's solution? +[1308.30 --> 1309.30] BitTorrent Chat. +[1309.30 --> 1310.30] BitTorrent Chat, yeah. +[1310.30 --> 1312.30] Um, or are you gonna keep using WhatsApp? +[1312.30 --> 1313.30] You know what? +[1313.30 --> 1314.30] Let's do a straw poll. +[1314.30 --> 1317.30] On this topic, would you switch from Gmail? +[1317.30 --> 1321.30] I think everyone's had the opportunity to switch from Gmail by now. +[1321.30 --> 1322.30] And if anyone. +[1322.30 --> 1323.30] Everything sucks, though. +[1323.30 --> 1324.30] Okay. +[1324.30 --> 1326.30] Okay, hold on. +[1326.30 --> 1329.30] Will you keep using WhatsApp? +[1329.30 --> 1332.30] Okay, answer yes. +[1332.30 --> 1335.30] For now, no. +[1335.30 --> 1336.30] Okay. +[1336.30 --> 1337.30] Uh, this thing, right? +[1337.30 --> 1338.30] Yep, yep. +[1338.30 --> 1339.30] Create poll. +[1339.30 --> 1340.30] Alright, guys. +[1340.30 --> 1342.30] I'm gonna go ahead and post this in the Twitch chat. +[1342.30 --> 1344.30] Please do share with each other. +[1344.30 --> 1347.30] We wanna hear from you guys if you're gonna keep using it. +[1347.30 --> 1348.30] Oh, come on. +[1348.30 --> 1350.30] There we go, guys. +[1350.30 --> 1352.30] That's the official straw pool. +[1352.30 --> 1353.30] Alright, next topic. +[1353.30 --> 1355.30] Um, one quick update. +[1355.30 --> 1356.30] Someone just tweeted me. +[1356.30 --> 1360.30] Apparently, TwitchPlaysPokemon is very close to actually beating the game. +[1360.30 --> 1364.30] Beating the game, not in terms of collecting every single possible Pokemon, +[1364.30 --> 1366.30] because that's impossible because they can't trade. +[1366.30 --> 1369.30] Um, but beating the game as in beating the Elite Four. +[1369.30 --> 1371.30] So, that's kinda epic. +[1371.30 --> 1374.30] A million monkeys on typewriters. +[1374.30 --> 1375.30] Yeah. +[1375.30 --> 1376.30] Eventually, they will... +[1376.30 --> 1377.30] Eventually, it'll happen. +[1377.30 --> 1378.30] Reproduce the works of Shakespeare. +[1378.30 --> 1380.30] It's what, like 13, 14 days straight now or something? +[1380.30 --> 1381.30] Ah, something like that. +[1381.30 --> 1382.30] It's been about two weeks. +[1382.30 --> 1383.30] Like, insane. +[1383.30 --> 1386.30] But, they're gonna make it, so that's cool. +[1386.30 --> 1389.30] Um, so, Seth Rogen to make Console Wars. +[1389.30 --> 1390.30] This looks really interesting. +[1390.30 --> 1394.30] I got really excited when I saw this because one of my favorite movies of all time is Pirates +[1394.30 --> 1399.30] of Silicon Valley, which is this kind of idea, but Apple versus Microsoft. +[1399.30 --> 1405.30] Um, something that worries me at the same time is the team working on this has done Superbad, +[1405.30 --> 1407.30] Pineapple Express, and This is the End, which honestly... +[1407.30 --> 1408.30] Superbad's a good movie! +[1408.30 --> 1409.30] I like Superbad. +[1409.30 --> 1414.30] ...are great movies, but I hope that they're not trying to use the same direction for this. +[1414.30 --> 1419.30] Or, if they do, I hope it's somehow awesome, because I'm sure they could do it. +[1419.30 --> 1420.30] But, I don't know. +[1420.30 --> 1425.30] What I expect to see from this is a Pirates of Silicon Valley-esque film, which is still +[1425.30 --> 1428.30] very entertaining to watch and stuff, but it's also a documentary at the same time. +[1428.30 --> 1434.30] So, the idea is it'll be the early days of Nintendo versus Sega, and... +[1434.30 --> 1436.30] Which is a pretty big deal. +[1436.30 --> 1440.30] And something that I actually know nothing about. +[1440.30 --> 1442.30] It was the CD loader thing. +[1442.30 --> 1444.30] This needs to stop talking. +[1444.30 --> 1446.30] Um, I got... +[1446.30 --> 1451.30] Apparently someone that I know is probably watching the show and just sent me an invite +[1451.30 --> 1452.30] to Telegram. +[1452.30 --> 1453.30] Awesome. +[1453.30 --> 1455.30] Um, it's... +[1455.30 --> 1457.30] Nintendo wanted someone to make them... +[1457.30 --> 1459.30] I'm fairly certain about this. +[1459.30 --> 1463.30] Nintendo wanted someone to make them a CD loader for another console. +[1463.30 --> 1465.30] Got them to try and do it. +[1465.30 --> 1466.30] Um, or was this with... +[1466.30 --> 1467.30] Ah... +[1467.30 --> 1469.30] I don't want this to be totally inaccurate. +[1469.30 --> 1472.30] Um, that might have been with Sony. +[1472.30 --> 1477.30] I'm gonna have a look at the results of our straw poll in the meantime. +[1477.30 --> 1478.30] Wow! +[1478.30 --> 1480.30] Alright, here, let's pull this up. +[1480.30 --> 1482.30] Will you keep using WhatsApp? +[1482.30 --> 1490.30] 67% of you are saying no, with 21% of you saying for now, and a tiny 12% of you saying yes. +[1490.30 --> 1498.30] Now, with that said, you guys, I believe, represent the techies, the geeks, the influencers. +[1498.30 --> 1507.30] So just because you guys are like, yeah, I'm gonna switch now, doesn't mean that WhatsApp will instantly lose the mainstream appeal that they've had up till now. +[1507.30 --> 1513.30] But, I think that over time, something like Telegram or BitTorrent Chat could overtake it. +[1513.30 --> 1526.30] What I'd really like to see, and this is something that really bothers me, but what I would like to see is a competitor for it, um, whether it's BitTorrent Chat or whether it's something else that emerges that is not just mobile. +[1526.30 --> 1527.30] Yeah. +[1527.30 --> 1539.30] I understand that mobile's a big deal and you can sell your mobile app for 19 billions of dollars, but why the hell does WhatsApp not have a Windows client? +[1539.30 --> 1543.30] Why does nothing have cross-platform compatibility? +[1543.30 --> 1544.30] It's incredibly frustrating. +[1544.30 --> 1554.30] I mean, even, even stupid things like the Air Video app that I use to stream video to myself or on Android Emit, why don't you have a desktop client? +[1555.30 --> 1562.30] People still use computers and I think that, uh, app developers would do well to sort of remember that once in a while, that's all. +[1562.30 --> 1568.30] Just because the sales of PCs are going a little bit down doesn't mean that the existence of PCs is going down. +[1568.30 --> 1570.30] Um, and okay, so I was right, it was Sony. +[1570.30 --> 1571.30] Yeah. +[1571.30 --> 1572.30] Remember earlier before the show? +[1572.30 --> 1573.30] Oh, sorry, Sony. +[1573.30 --> 1574.30] Yeah. +[1574.30 --> 1575.30] When I brought up the Sony thing? +[1575.30 --> 1580.30] That's what, that's what I expected this actually to be about, was Nintendo vs. Sony, but apparently it's Nintendo vs. Sega. +[1580.30 --> 1581.30] Oh. +[1581.30 --> 1586.30] So, I think it would actually be a lot more interesting if they did Nintendo vs. Sony. +[1586.30 --> 1587.30] Hmm. +[1587.30 --> 1588.30] Okay. +[1588.30 --> 1591.30] Well, at any rate, I'm, uh, I'm excited to check it out. +[1591.30 --> 1593.30] Yeah, I think it'll still be really interesting. +[1593.30 --> 1600.30] Um, although I would like to see the, the, the war of the CD loader because that's why Sony got into consoles in the first place. +[1600.30 --> 1603.30] So, like, that would be really interesting. +[1603.30 --> 1604.30] Why don't you tell them more about this? +[1604.30 --> 1605.30] In my opinion. +[1605.30 --> 1610.30] So, so Nintendo tried to get Sony to make them a CD loader for, I believe it was SNES, although I could be wrong there. +[1610.30 --> 1617.30] Um, and then there was some bad blood, I believe the contract went sour, someone was breaking the contract, something along like, along those lines. +[1617.30 --> 1618.30] And Nintendo backed out. +[1618.30 --> 1621.30] I believe it was Nintendo that backed out. +[1621.30 --> 1625.30] And then Sony got pissed off and said, well, we developed this thing, let's make our own console. +[1625.30 --> 1627.30] Enter PlayStation 1. +[1627.30 --> 1630.30] And one of the biggest gaming regimes ever. +[1630.30 --> 1634.30] Um, now with PlayStation 4, although Sony does look like they're doing fairly bad lately. +[1634.30 --> 1635.30] So. +[1635.30 --> 1638.30] Uh, so we've got lots of suggestions coming in. +[1638.30 --> 1641.30] People saying Telegram, uh, does have desktop support. +[1641.30 --> 1642.30] So that's cool. +[1642.30 --> 1645.30] Hadn't, I haven't really looked into Telegram much at all. +[1645.30 --> 1647.30] This is kind of a, that is actually a new thing. +[1647.30 --> 1650.30] And also people are saying that Hangouts is cross platform. +[1650.30 --> 1653.30] That may be true, but Hangouts is a giant steaming pile of poo. +[1653.30 --> 1654.30] It doesn't work very well. +[1654.30 --> 1655.30] It doesn't work. +[1655.30 --> 1656.30] It's not reliable enough. +[1656.30 --> 1657.30] I'm sorry, Google. +[1657.30 --> 1663.30] And also it like, okay, like to get something like a, what was I using? +[1663.30 --> 1666.30] I was using Trillion with Hangouts for a while. +[1666.30 --> 1674.30] Um, in order to have a proper desktop client that does not operate within a browser or have anything to do with my browser. +[1674.30 --> 1676.30] It's extremely frustrating. +[1676.30 --> 1678.30] I use my browser to browse the internet. +[1678.30 --> 1686.30] Not to, and I don't necessarily have enough desktop space that I want to pop out all of my chats and put them all over something. +[1686.30 --> 1690.30] And I don't want them to pile up at the bottom of the screen and cover up the send button. +[1690.30 --> 1691.30] So I can't send emails. +[1691.30 --> 1693.30] Hangouts just isn't that great. +[1693.30 --> 1694.30] No, it's really not. +[1694.30 --> 1696.30] And people are saying it works about as well as Skype. +[1696.30 --> 1698.30] I don't really have any love for Skype either. +[1698.30 --> 1699.30] Skype doesn't work that well. +[1699.30 --> 1706.30] We've said so many times, so many times on the WAN show we've been like, I wish MSN would come back so we could never use Skype ever again. +[1706.30 --> 1708.30] We should take another crack at Razer Comms. +[1708.30 --> 1713.30] We haven't used it since the beta was in kind of rough shape near the end of the sponsorship thing. +[1713.30 --> 1714.30] I've kind of heard it's still in rough shape. +[1714.30 --> 1715.30] Is it still in rough shape? +[1715.30 --> 1716.30] I'm not entirely sure. +[1716.30 --> 1717.30] I haven't tried it myself. +[1717.30 --> 1718.30] Okay. +[1718.30 --> 1719.30] I don't know. +[1719.30 --> 1721.30] I've done no testing, but I've heard it still rough. +[1721.30 --> 1724.30] Maybe we should take another crack at it because it was really good when we first started using it. +[1724.30 --> 1725.30] Yeah. +[1725.30 --> 1727.30] When we first started using it, I had my whole group on it. +[1727.30 --> 1730.30] Like that was not, I didn't say that because of sponsorship. +[1730.30 --> 1732.30] My whole group actually did use Razer Comms. +[1732.30 --> 1735.30] And ever since then, we've just been kind of like floating around. +[1735.30 --> 1736.30] Dolby Axum. +[1736.30 --> 1738.30] In-game chat or other random things. +[1738.30 --> 1739.30] So we're just like, oh man. +[1739.30 --> 1740.30] That sucks. +[1740.30 --> 1741.30] Waiting for the next big thing. +[1741.30 --> 1742.30] Yeah. +[1742.30 --> 1749.30] Speaking of the next big thing, SanDisk introduces the world's highest capacity micro SDXC card. +[1749.30 --> 1750.30] One hundred and twenty eight gigs. +[1750.30 --> 1751.30] That's ridiculous. +[1751.30 --> 1752.30] I mean, isn't that incredible? +[1752.30 --> 1753.30] It's absolutely ridiculous. +[1753.30 --> 1766.30] Like I wonder when drives in computers are just going to end up being like huge plug-in adapters. +[1766.30 --> 1772.30] We just put in a whole bunch of like micro SD cards and then it goes in through like a SATA connection or something. +[1772.30 --> 1783.30] So the recommended retail price is 200 bucks, although you can get it for as cheap as a hundred and twenty bucks on Amazon.com or two hundred dollars at Best Buy. +[1783.30 --> 1786.30] Speaking of Best Buy being in trouble. +[1786.30 --> 1789.30] So you can get it for $119.99 at Amazon.com. +[1789.30 --> 1791.30] It's not the fastest thing ever. +[1791.30 --> 1796.30] So it's rated at 10 megabytes per second write speeds and 30 megabytes per second read speeds. +[1796.30 --> 1801.30] So to put that in perspective, you'd have to write data to it for about three and a half hours to actually fill the thing. +[1801.30 --> 1804.30] But that's not really the idea behind it. +[1804.30 --> 1808.30] The idea is that this is the kind of thing that you can put in your phone. +[1808.30 --> 1811.30] Neither of my phones, mind you, because neither of them have SD slots. +[1811.30 --> 1820.30] But the kind of thing you could put in your phone and carry a massive number of videos and amount of music and all that kind of cool stuff. +[1820.30 --> 1824.30] Without really thinking about having to offload from it. +[1824.30 --> 1830.30] Now the scary thing here is if you're not already using BitTorrent Sync to instantly back up any photos that you take or whatever else. +[1830.30 --> 1837.30] Is that that's also a massive amount of data to have in one place and potentially lose on something that you keep in your pocket in theory. +[1837.30 --> 1842.30] Except when your pockets have holes in them from the things that you're doing in your pockets that causes them to have holes in them. +[1842.30 --> 1845.30] So something that's easily lost. +[1845.30 --> 1846.30] It's a bit of a scary thing. +[1846.30 --> 1850.30] But don't worry, you guys can make sure that you're responsible and all that. +[1850.30 --> 1856.30] So the card works by stacking 16 memory dies vertically, each thinner than a human hair. +[1856.30 --> 1857.30] Epic. +[1857.30 --> 1859.30] Just like unbelievable. +[1859.30 --> 1860.30] Oh my god. +[1860.30 --> 1862.30] Like some of the stuff people do with technology sometimes is ridiculous. +[1862.30 --> 1865.30] And the speed thing to grow on that, I'm sure it'll get faster at some point in time. +[1865.30 --> 1866.30] Yeah, it'll get faster. +[1866.30 --> 1870.30] The cool part is that this is available now and that it will be expanded upon. +[1870.30 --> 1873.30] It's like real, not space-age technology. +[1873.30 --> 1878.30] I mean, to put that in context, the first microSD card was launched in 2004. +[1878.30 --> 1881.30] It was 128 megabytes. +[1881.30 --> 1889.30] So in 10 years, the storage capacity and speed, the capacity has gone up a thousand times. +[1889.30 --> 1891.30] Ridiculous. +[1891.30 --> 1896.30] Anyways, apparently, Telegram themselves do not do a desktop application, but it's an +[1896.30 --> 1900.30] open API and someone else has made a desktop client. +[1900.30 --> 1901.30] Okay. +[1901.30 --> 1902.30] Yeah. +[1902.30 --> 1904.30] Much less interested now. +[1904.30 --> 1905.30] Much less interested, sorry. +[1905.30 --> 1909.30] But at least it works and, to be honest, with the amount of people that are now using +[1909.30 --> 1911.30] Telegram, maybe this will happen in the future. +[1911.30 --> 1913.30] Maybe they'll make it themselves. +[1913.30 --> 1916.30] Because I'm sure they're much bigger than they were before. +[1916.30 --> 1917.30] Yeah. +[1917.30 --> 1920.30] And I'm sure investors are much more interested now. +[1920.30 --> 1922.30] So they might get some more cash flow and then do that themselves. +[1922.30 --> 1923.30] That would be really cool. +[1923.30 --> 1926.30] Alright, so let's get into this. +[1926.30 --> 1931.30] This is something that people have actually been asking me to talk about for quite some +[1931.30 --> 1932.30] time. +[1932.30 --> 1937.30] Actually, ever since Logan did his Audio Myths video. +[1937.30 --> 1940.30] So let's go ahead and fire this baby up. +[1940.30 --> 1942.30] They took an interesting angle with this one. +[1942.30 --> 1943.30] They really did. +[1943.30 --> 1946.30] I think Tom's did a fantastic job of this article. +[1946.30 --> 1948.30] And this stupid Facebook thing needs to move. +[1948.30 --> 1949.30] Thank you. +[1949.30 --> 1950.30] Alright. +[1950.30 --> 1958.30] So the article has headlined, what does it take to turn the PC into a hi-fi audio platform? +[1958.30 --> 1961.30] And the way that they did this is... +[1961.30 --> 1962.30] I mean, okay. +[1962.30 --> 1968.30] What they said up front is, look, we haven't really done much in the way of audio in the +[1968.30 --> 1969.30] past. +[1969.30 --> 1978.30] Because Tom's hardware is about taking a scientifically, easily validated and easily replicated approach +[1978.30 --> 1979.30] to anything they do. +[1979.30 --> 1983.30] Which is easy with something like a CPU. +[1983.30 --> 1984.30] Yeah. +[1984.30 --> 1988.30] You take a task, you throw it at the CPU and it takes however long. +[1988.30 --> 1992.30] This is something that anyone else could run around and verify if they had exactly the +[1992.30 --> 1995.30] same resources and exactly the same methodology. +[1995.30 --> 1996.30] That's the scientific method. +[1996.30 --> 2002.30] With audio, whether people like it or not, there is a lot of subjectivity. +[2002.30 --> 2008.30] Because, and I've heard this argument made to me, Linus, there is no subjectivity in pure +[2008.30 --> 2009.30] audio reproduction. +[2009.30 --> 2011.30] To which I would go, good for you. +[2011.30 --> 2015.30] But pure audio reproduction doesn't necessarily sound good. +[2015.30 --> 2025.30] So, you could create the purest amp, purest DAC, purest audio file, and purest pair of headphones, +[2025.30 --> 2030.30] and you could have 99 out of 100 people say, oh, it sounds like but, and not care. +[2030.30 --> 2031.30] It sounds like but. +[2031.30 --> 2038.30] And that is why audio will continue to be subjective no matter how well we can measure whatever sound +[2038.30 --> 2042.30] is being produced by whatever device being driven by whatever thing. +[2042.30 --> 2044.30] So, that's a big problem. +[2044.30 --> 2051.30] So, Tom's Hardware decided they were going to put objectivity into a subjective test by +[2051.30 --> 2056.30] doing blind A, B, well, it ended up being A, B, C, D testing. +[2056.30 --> 2058.30] So, they had four different sources. +[2058.30 --> 2060.30] One of which was a high-end onboard solution. +[2060.30 --> 2063.30] One of which was an objective two. +[2063.30 --> 2066.30] One of which was, oh crap, now I forget. +[2066.30 --> 2069.30] What was their, what was their really high-end one? +[2069.30 --> 2070.30] It's a, shoot. +[2070.30 --> 2072.30] Now I'm in trouble. +[2072.30 --> 2074.30] There we go, there we go, there we go. +[2074.30 --> 2076.30] Benchmark media, yep, yep, yep. +[2076.30 --> 2079.30] So, a JDS Labs O2 and ODAC. +[2079.30 --> 2082.30] Benchmark media systems, DAC2 HCG. +[2082.30 --> 2084.30] And an ASUS Zonar Essence STX. +[2084.30 --> 2086.30] That's the one I couldn't remember. +[2086.30 --> 2096.30] So, they have everything ranging from a $2 chip on your motherboard up to a couple hundred dollar DAC and amp that uses like an open platform design that anyone can manufacture. +[2096.30 --> 2103.30] There's actually a member of the Linus Tech Tips forums, Mayflower Electronics that manufactures objective two amps and DACs. +[2103.30 --> 2113.30] And then up to sort of a $500 to $700 range, ASUS external sound card all the way up to a $2,000 device. +[2113.30 --> 2120.30] So, what they did, and this is really important, is they leveled the audio volume across the different sources. +[2120.30 --> 2129.30] So, you turn all the knobs so that with one pair of headphones, you have to use a meter in order to make sure that the sound levels are the same. +[2129.30 --> 2133.30] Because that can be a really easy way for one thing to sound better than another one. +[2133.30 --> 2135.30] Oh, well this one sounds much more detailed. +[2135.30 --> 2136.30] Well, it's actually a hair louder. +[2136.30 --> 2137.30] So, that's why you were able to. +[2137.30 --> 2141.30] So, what they did was they leveled all the volumes as close as they could. +[2141.30 --> 2152.30] They did say up front that they weren't able to get the onboard solution quite as volume leveled as the other ones, but that no one noticed. +[2152.30 --> 2153.30] More on that in a moment anyway. +[2153.30 --> 2162.30] And then they just had four plugs, so they were able to have someone control eight different listen tests. +[2162.30 --> 2169.30] And this was with a couple pairs of headphones, and then try to guess which was which across the blind test. +[2169.30 --> 2171.30] And then find out how accurate they were. +[2171.30 --> 2179.30] And I remember, I forget what the methodology is, but I think you have to get something like 90% of them right in order to prove that you actually were able to tell the difference. +[2179.30 --> 2183.30] So, couple of caveats. +[2183.30 --> 2187.30] Number one is they only used 300 ohm impedance headphones. +[2187.30 --> 2212.30] So, what they determined was that with high impedance headphones, none of the listeners, including one of the people who had bought the $2,000 amp and DAC, and therefore had as much investment as anyone in being able to prove to himself that he was able to hear the difference, not one of them was able to tell the sources apart. +[2212.30 --> 2214.30] Phoned. +[2214.30 --> 2215.30] Oops. +[2215.30 --> 2219.30] So, okay, now there's a couple things here. +[2219.30 --> 2222.30] So, I mentioned the 300 ohm headphone thing. +[2222.30 --> 2229.30] The impedance of your headphones versus the output impedance of your audio source is of importance. +[2229.30 --> 2236.30] So, the higher impedance your headphones are, the less important it is to have low output impedance on your audio source. +[2236.30 --> 2245.30] So, one thing that the objective 2, that's the amplifier part of the ODAC plus objective 2, does particularly well is very low output impedance. +[2245.30 --> 2249.30] Which, like I said before, doesn't matter much when you're running very high impedance headphones. +[2249.30 --> 2266.30] But, when you compare to something like the, uh, the Asus, uh, Zonar STX, which has fairly high output impedance, when you use much lower impedance headphones, something like 32 ohm impedance headphones, which are much more common for consumer grade headphones, that difference might be much more relevant. +[2266.30 --> 2275.30] So, Toms is already working on reproducing the test using different headphones to find out if this is applicable to that as well. +[2275.30 --> 2283.30] But, the conclusion of the article is something that they've been saying, and, guys in the audio subforum, I still don't like your attitude sometimes. +[2283.30 --> 2284.30] But, +[2284.30 --> 2286.30] You don't like their attitude? Maybe you should buy an O2. +[2286.30 --> 2287.30] Thank you for that. +[2287.30 --> 2291.30] Your day's not going very well? It would probably be better if you bought an O2. +[2291.30 --> 2304.30] Okay, so anyway. So, the conclusions that they've been saying, they've been telling us, basically since Linus Tech Tips Forum started, that you basically can't tell the difference, looks like, according to the test that Tom has done, +[2304.30 --> 2308.30] the test that Tom's Hardware did, if nothing else, which I read, and seems really well done. +[2308.30 --> 2309.30] Yeah. +[2309.30 --> 2317.30] And I can't imagine Tom's having any kind of a kickback from real tech to, like, you know, promote that onboard sound is the best thing ever. +[2317.30 --> 2322.30] Um, according to this test, there's no real benefit to high-end sound. +[2322.30 --> 2327.30] Now, I do have more to say on this. +[2327.30 --> 2336.30] So, your onboard sound might have as good a DAC as anything else, but there is a wide range in amplifier quality. +[2336.30 --> 2343.30] So, things like, um, things like, oh, so, so amplifier quality as well as, as shielding and PCB isolation. +[2343.30 --> 2351.30] So, you could have a DAC that's great, that's the digital to analog converter that takes your digital sound and turns it into something your headphones and your speakers can understand. +[2351.30 --> 2361.30] You could have a great DAC, but if you have a terrible amp that hisses or interference that causes, you know, when your mouse moves, um, to hear that da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. +[2361.30 --> 2363.30] We've all heard it, probably. I, I definitely have. +[2363.30 --> 2364.30] Oh, yeah. +[2364.30 --> 2371.30] That's not to say that every motherboard will have output audio quality that is equal to a $500 product. +[2371.30 --> 2373.30] That's not what we're saying. +[2373.30 --> 2377.30] What we're saying is that the DAC itself doesn't appear to be making a difference. +[2377.30 --> 2379.30] Fascinating. +[2379.30 --> 2387.30] Um, you know what's funny is when I was advocating for sound cards, very, very hardcore, that was based on older motherboards. +[2387.30 --> 2396.30] To be perfectly honest, I had made the switch from onboard sound to a sound card back in the, um, Audi G2 ZS days. +[2396.30 --> 2398.30] That was when I switched over. +[2398.30 --> 2400.30] And back then, oh yeah, it made a difference. +[2400.30 --> 2402.30] It made a real big difference. +[2402.30 --> 2406.30] Aside from adding more channels, it was much, much better. +[2406.30 --> 2409.30] It's not to say there weren't driver issues here and there and all those kinds of issues. +[2409.30 --> 2412.30] So that was the last time I ever really did a comparison. +[2412.30 --> 2416.30] And when we released, I forget what video it was. +[2416.30 --> 2418.30] I don't remember, I don't remember what it was. +[2418.30 --> 2423.30] But anyway, there was a video I released and I had some members of the forum challenge me to try a newer motherboard. +[2423.30 --> 2424.30] So that's what I did. +[2424.30 --> 2427.30] I happen to have a ton of really great audio sources at home right now. +[2427.30 --> 2429.30] I have a shit stack. +[2429.30 --> 2431.30] I have an objective two with an O DAC. +[2431.30 --> 2434.30] I have a Zonar, uh, whatever it's called. +[2434.30 --> 2435.30] Essence one. +[2435.30 --> 2437.30] Did I say it's STX earlier? +[2437.30 --> 2438.30] Sorry. +[2438.30 --> 2439.30] Sorry. +[2439.30 --> 2440.30] It was an essence. +[2440.30 --> 2441.30] Was it an? +[2441.30 --> 2442.30] STX in the video. +[2442.30 --> 2443.30] I'm using an essence one. +[2443.30 --> 2444.30] Sorry. +[2444.30 --> 2445.30] Sorry. +[2445.30 --> 2446.30] STX is not an external sound card. +[2446.30 --> 2447.30] I apologize. +[2447.30 --> 2452.30] Um, so I have an essence one and I have the onboard sound on my P9X 79 WSE or whatever it +[2452.30 --> 2453.30] is, ASUS motherboard. +[2453.30 --> 2455.30] Couldn't tell the difference. +[2455.30 --> 2456.30] The other ones can go louder. +[2456.30 --> 2458.30] That's for sure. +[2458.30 --> 2462.30] And on some of them, things like the sound floor is much more noticeable. +[2462.30 --> 2465.30] So for example, using my IE 80s. +[2465.30 --> 2467.30] So these are, these are pretty sensitive. +[2467.30 --> 2469.30] They're IEMs compared to large headphones. +[2469.30 --> 2475.30] Um, I can definitely hear that particularly on the objective two, even if I turn the volume +[2475.30 --> 2479.30] up, there's no, like there's no hiss. +[2479.30 --> 2484.30] Um, so the, so the sound floor is quite low on that one, which is good because in the quiet +[2484.30 --> 2487.30] part of a track, even if you're listening quite loud, it's nice to not have that hiss audible +[2487.30 --> 2488.30] in the background. +[2488.30 --> 2492.30] But aside from all that, there does not appear to be much difference. +[2492.30 --> 2493.30] Oh, okay. +[2493.30 --> 2494.30] Apparently I am. +[2494.30 --> 2495.30] I am confirmed. +[2495.30 --> 2498.30] I am going to see, uh, uh, sexy Phil tonight. +[2498.30 --> 2499.30] So there you go. +[2499.30 --> 2500.30] It's SXE Phil. +[2500.30 --> 2501.30] Whatever, man. +[2501.30 --> 2502.30] Not sexy Phil. +[2502.30 --> 2503.30] I don't care. +[2503.30 --> 2506.30] Anyway, I'm going to see Phil DeFranco's thing in Vancouver. +[2506.30 --> 2511.30] Uh, Brandon B-roll, uh, one of our camera guys is actually not at work today because +[2511.30 --> 2513.30] he's, uh, doing camera operation for their show. +[2513.30 --> 2514.30] Yeah. +[2514.30 --> 2519.30] He, he applied and he was planning to attend and now he's actually going to be filming +[2519.30 --> 2520.30] it. +[2520.30 --> 2521.30] That's pretty cool. +[2521.30 --> 2522.30] So he's pretty excited. +[2522.30 --> 2523.30] He's a bit of a source fed nerd. +[2523.30 --> 2524.30] Yep. +[2524.30 --> 2525.30] Ha ha. +[2525.30 --> 2526.30] Get it? +[2526.30 --> 2527.30] Ha ha ha. +[2527.30 --> 2528.30] Ha ha. +[2528.30 --> 2529.30] Ha ha. +[2529.30 --> 2531.30] I actually totally didn't get that at all at first. +[2531.30 --> 2537.30] Oh, there was another conclusion from the TOMS test and that was that 16-bit 44.1kHz +[2537.30 --> 2540.30] files are as good as you could possibly need. +[2540.30 --> 2542.30] Anything more is a waste of hard drive space. +[2542.30 --> 2544.30] Which is a pretty strong statement. +[2544.30 --> 2545.30] Hilarious. +[2545.30 --> 2551.30] Um, now I did have one issue with their test and that was that the only people who +[2551.30 --> 2554.30] ever tried it were the testers. +[2554.30 --> 2559.30] Um, and what I would like to see them do, or even if we could swing it. +[2559.30 --> 2561.30] Like an open, an open testing. +[2561.30 --> 2567.30] Is an open house where anyone can come and validate for themselves. +[2567.30 --> 2568.30] That'd be really cool. +[2568.30 --> 2571.30] Because it's no secret that some people hear differently than others, which is another +[2571.30 --> 2577.30] reason that purely objectively perfect sound is not necessarily the solution because +[2577.30 --> 2579.30] not everyone hears the same way. +[2579.30 --> 2583.30] Um, so I would love to have people be able to, I mean, we have a, a big enough collection +[2583.30 --> 2585.30] of headphones and DACs and amps. +[2585.30 --> 2586.30] Guys, let us know. +[2586.30 --> 2587.30] Uh, tweet. +[2587.30 --> 2590.30] Tweet if you'd like to, uh, if you'd like to see us do something like that at some point. +[2590.30 --> 2591.30] That'd be interesting. +[2591.30 --> 2596.30] And like, cause I even personally run different equalizer levels depending on what I'm listening +[2596.30 --> 2597.30] to. +[2597.30 --> 2599.30] Meaning I am NOT listening to it. +[2599.30 --> 2601.30] That's exactly what it's supposed to sound like. +[2601.30 --> 2602.30] So, I don't know. +[2602.30 --> 2603.30] I don't know. +[2603.30 --> 2605.30] And I'm becoming more of a bass head every day. +[2605.30 --> 2607.30] I just turned up the bass ports in my IE80s. +[2607.30 --> 2611.30] Cause I was like, yeah, Bieber's not, uh, Bieber's not bassy enough right now. +[2611.30 --> 2615.30] Speaking of Bieber, are ever popular. +[2615.30 --> 2617.30] Actually, I don't know where I put this. +[2617.30 --> 2618.30] There it is. +[2618.30 --> 2619.30] Yeah. +[2619.30 --> 2621.30] Better than Bieber. +[2621.30 --> 2625.30] Everybody's favorite news segment where we pick something in the world that isn't necessarily +[2625.30 --> 2630.30] technology, but is definitely more important than what the Canadian wonder Justin Bieber +[2630.30 --> 2631.30] is up to. +[2631.30 --> 2637.30] Uh, so the Kepler mission has announced the, not necessarily, actually, I think, I don't +[2637.30 --> 2638.30] really like the headline here. +[2638.30 --> 2641.30] NASA has discovered 750 new worlds. +[2641.30 --> 2643.30] It's not just discovery. +[2643.30 --> 2649.30] They have actually confirmed the existence of 750 new worlds. +[2649.30 --> 2654.30] More importantly than anything else, four of which appear to be within the habitable +[2654.30 --> 2657.30] zones of their respective stars. +[2657.30 --> 2658.30] Cool. +[2658.30 --> 2660.30] That's kind of awesome. +[2660.30 --> 2665.30] If you guys don't geek out about this, I mean, I don't know, I don't know what else +[2665.30 --> 2666.30] there is to geek out about. +[2666.30 --> 2668.30] Science and face, face? +[2668.30 --> 2669.30] Science and face is fantastic. +[2669.30 --> 2670.30] Meant to say space. +[2670.30 --> 2671.30] Yeah. +[2671.30 --> 2672.30] But. +[2672.30 --> 2675.30] The science of the face is fantastic as well. +[2675.30 --> 2676.30] Maybe not as fantastic as space. +[2676.30 --> 2678.30] Think what we could learn by studying Justin Bieber's face. +[2678.30 --> 2679.30] Not much. +[2679.30 --> 2681.30] The way it's captivated millions though. +[2681.30 --> 2686.30] See, but the problem is that there's too much of a, like a diffusion layer between the +[2686.30 --> 2691.30] face and him because there's so much makeup that you'd have to do much archeological research +[2691.30 --> 2692.30] to actually get to the face. +[2692.30 --> 2693.30] To the face. +[2693.30 --> 2697.30] I wonder if he still looks like he did four years ago. +[2697.30 --> 2698.30] Ha! +[2698.30 --> 2700.30] Under the sheen of glamour. +[2700.30 --> 2702.30] Anyway, okay, no, I don't want to talk about him anymore. +[2702.30 --> 2707.30] So 95% of the planets are smaller than Neptune, which to put that in perspective is about +[2707.30 --> 2709.30] four times the size of Earth. +[2709.30 --> 2713.30] And the discovery actually marks a very significant increase. +[2713.30 --> 2715.30] So this is 750 new ones. +[2715.30 --> 2720.30] A very significant increase in the number of planets that are confirmed, or that were confirmed +[2720.30 --> 2721.30] before. +[2721.30 --> 2727.30] Actually it's, uh, we went from under a thousand to around 1700, or around a thousand to around +[2727.30 --> 2728.30] 1700. +[2728.30 --> 2729.30] So that's absolutely huge. +[2729.30 --> 2730.30] It's really cool. +[2730.30 --> 2736.30] Um, so one of the new habitable zone planets orbits a star half the size of ours and 5% +[2736.30 --> 2739.30] as bright as our sun. +[2739.30 --> 2744.30] I mean, there are a lot of things that the scientists don't know yet, such as the composition +[2744.30 --> 2745.30] of the planets. +[2745.30 --> 2750.30] I mean, they could be predominantly gas planets, or they could, I mean, they, they could have +[2750.30 --> 2752.30] water on them or they could not. +[2752.30 --> 2756.30] The habitable zone just means that liquid water could exist on them. +[2756.30 --> 2757.30] Yeah. +[2757.30 --> 2759.30] It doesn't mean that there's water on them. +[2759.30 --> 2761.30] It just means it could be there. +[2761.30 --> 2768.30] Still a ton more to do as always is the news with any space science-y kind of discoveries, +[2768.30 --> 2769.30] but really freaking interesting. +[2769.30 --> 2771.30] We should give NASA more money. +[2771.30 --> 2774.30] Have I ranted about that on the show before? +[2774.30 --> 2775.30] I'm not, I think so. +[2775.30 --> 2776.30] Yeah, I'm pretty sure. +[2776.30 --> 2777.30] Probably at some point. +[2777.30 --> 2778.30] Yeah. +[2778.30 --> 2781.30] I'm constantly kind of ticked about that. +[2781.30 --> 2785.30] If we could figure out space instead of blowing each other up for just a little while. +[2785.30 --> 2786.30] That'd be fantastic. +[2786.30 --> 2788.30] Then we could blow up aliens. +[2788.30 --> 2789.30] Exactly. +[2789.30 --> 2790.30] And why isn't that more fun? +[2790.30 --> 2791.30] Yeah. +[2791.30 --> 2796.30] If, if we can get Chris, what's his name, to go back up into space and not retire because +[2796.30 --> 2800.30] he does not need to get out of the way for new astronauts, because that's bull crap. +[2800.30 --> 2805.30] He needs to stay up there so that more people can be more interested and more, Chris Hadfield, +[2805.30 --> 2806.30] there we go. +[2806.30 --> 2809.30] More people can be more interested and so that he can build hype about it so that there can +[2809.30 --> 2812.30] be more money into it and so there can be more capacity for astronauts. +[2812.30 --> 2814.30] He does not need to leave to make room. +[2814.30 --> 2817.30] I don't accept that excuse. +[2817.30 --> 2818.30] He needs to get back up there. +[2818.30 --> 2821.30] We need to give NASA more funding and take the funding out of duck penises because that +[2821.30 --> 2824.30] is stupid and just so dumb. +[2824.30 --> 2829.30] And then we need to keep going with NASA's initiative to spread money into independent +[2829.30 --> 2833.30] companies that are also trying to get to space because NASA is thinking about piggybacking +[2833.30 --> 2837.30] on other companies because it could be much more cost efficient because if you're not +[2837.30 --> 2841.30] a government run organization, you can do a lot of things like you don't have to buy +[2841.30 --> 2842.30] from certain groups. +[2842.30 --> 2844.30] That's a big thing in the government. +[2844.30 --> 2848.30] You have to purchase from certain areas to keep competition free and open. +[2848.30 --> 2849.30] Right. +[2849.30 --> 2852.30] Whereas if you were a private company, you could find the cheapest possible version of the +[2852.30 --> 2853.30] exact thing that you want. +[2853.30 --> 2854.30] Yeah. +[2854.30 --> 2858.30] Because there are certain times where they want to order a package of pens and it's +[2858.30 --> 2859.30] like $50. +[2859.30 --> 2860.30] It's like, well, nope. +[2860.30 --> 2865.30] You can't go to Staples and buy one for $2 because you have to do it through this pre-approved +[2865.30 --> 2866.30] gateway or whatever. +[2866.30 --> 2867.30] So, yeah. +[2867.30 --> 2871.30] I'm going to stop ranting about space now so we can keep talking about things. +[2871.30 --> 2874.30] Should we talk about Spritz? +[2874.30 --> 2876.30] Yeah, let's talk about Spritz. +[2876.30 --> 2877.30] It's friggin' awesome. +[2877.30 --> 2882.30] So, here, you, this, I think this is more applicable to you than it is to me for a couple +[2882.30 --> 2883.30] of reasons. +[2883.30 --> 2887.30] So, why don't, why don't I do a brief introduction of what Spritz is and then you can talk about +[2887.30 --> 2888.30] sort of the application. +[2888.30 --> 2893.30] So, Spritz takes what would, okay, normally the way you read is you have, in fact, this +[2893.30 --> 2896.30] is great because you guys can see the way that you normally read. +[2896.30 --> 2902.30] You have a whole bunch of words on a page or on a screen in front of you and you actually +[2902.30 --> 2907.30] move your eyes from word to word looking for the part of the word that I believe they +[2907.30 --> 2909.30] call, oh crap, now I forget what they call it. +[2909.30 --> 2912.30] I think they call it the recognition point or something like that. +[2912.30 --> 2913.30] Ba-dup-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. +[2913.30 --> 2914.30] The little center thing? +[2914.30 --> 2915.30] Optical recognition point. +[2915.30 --> 2919.30] So, you're looking for the optical recognition point of the word that allows you to recognize +[2919.30 --> 2920.30] that word and interpret it. +[2920.30 --> 2927.30] And Spritz estimates that anywhere from about probably 80% of your time that you spend reading +[2927.30 --> 2932.30] is spent looking for the optical recognition point as opposed to recognizing, interpreting, +[2932.30 --> 2935.30] and processing the actual word. +[2935.30 --> 2940.30] So, what it does, and I wish that the, shoot, I wish that the link here was actually to their +[2940.30 --> 2943.30] homepage because we can definitely show it. +[2943.30 --> 2949.30] What it does is it just takes one word at a time and displays it on the screen for you +[2949.30 --> 2953.30] to read instead of putting all the words in front of you. +[2953.30 --> 2956.30] Okay, so you tried it, right? +[2956.30 --> 2963.30] Now, I tried it and was honestly very easily able to get to the top WPM that is available +[2963.30 --> 2964.30] through their website thing. +[2964.30 --> 2967.30] So, the drop down menu that's right there, which I believe is 500. +[2967.30 --> 2969.30] For context guys, WPM means words per minute. +[2969.30 --> 2970.30] Yeah, sorry. +[2970.30 --> 2971.30] Okay. +[2971.30 --> 2972.30] So, if you, can you check the drop down real quick? +[2972.30 --> 2973.30] Yeah, I think it's 500. +[2973.30 --> 2974.30] Alright, so we'll go with 500. +[2974.30 --> 2978.30] And honestly, I was able to quite easily go along with 500 words per minute. +[2978.30 --> 2983.30] The reason why this is so awesome to me is I read incredibly slowly. +[2983.30 --> 2988.30] I'm dyslexic and I can get through things and it's not like impossibly slowly, just if +[2988.30 --> 2991.30] I'm sitting next to someone and we're trying to read something at the same time before we +[2991.30 --> 2996.30] scroll, I'm always like, oh crap, I need to kick it into high gear because there's no +[2996.30 --> 3001.30] possible way that they're going to get there after me because I will always be the second +[3001.30 --> 3002.30] one to get to the bottom page. +[3002.30 --> 3005.30] A lot of times if I'm reading on my own, the amount of times I have to reread a paragraph +[3005.30 --> 3006.30] is insane. +[3006.30 --> 3010.30] I love reading which is another frustrating thing because it takes me forever to get +[3010.30 --> 3011.30] through books. +[3011.30 --> 3012.30] All this kind of stuff. +[3012.30 --> 3017.30] So, being able to read news things or stuff for school which is where I'm not trying to +[3017.30 --> 3021.30] like absorb the essence of every single freaking word and I just want to get the idea really +[3021.30 --> 3027.30] quickly, this is awesome because if I can easily conquer 500 words per minute and hopefully +[3027.30 --> 3031.30] easily conquer even higher than that, that would be very cool. +[3031.30 --> 3036.30] And one of the ways it works is you're not supposed to intently focus directly on that +[3036.30 --> 3037.30] area. +[3037.30 --> 3041.30] You're just kind of supposed to... and I noticed it helped a lot when I tried not to try to +[3041.30 --> 3045.30] say every word in my head as it went by instantaneously and I just kind of observed it going. +[3045.30 --> 3046.30] Did you notice that as well? +[3046.30 --> 3047.30] Yep. +[3047.30 --> 3050.30] And as you turn up the speed... here, I'm going to crank it up to 500 for them. +[3050.30 --> 3054.30] As you turn up the speed, it becomes more and more important to learn. +[3054.30 --> 3055.30] Yeah. +[3055.30 --> 3057.30] And they say it takes about five minutes to learn how to do it. +[3057.30 --> 3058.30] It took me less. +[3058.30 --> 3063.30] It took me less than five minutes to be able to spritz at 500 words per minute very, very +[3063.30 --> 3064.30] quickly. +[3064.30 --> 3068.30] And I'm sure the more you get used to it, like I think they're saying it goes up to 900 or +[3068.30 --> 3069.30] 1,000 words per minute. +[3069.30 --> 3073.30] I'm sure if you used it all the time and you just incrementally went up, you could actually +[3073.30 --> 3074.30] get up there. +[3074.30 --> 3075.30] It's pretty crazy. +[3075.30 --> 3076.30] So, okay. +[3076.30 --> 3079.30] I see the benefits. +[3079.30 --> 3082.30] Their goal, I think, is pretty aggressive. +[3082.30 --> 3088.30] I think they wanted something like 15% of the world's reading to be done via spritz by +[3088.30 --> 3091.30] 20-something or other... I can't remember. +[3091.30 --> 3096.30] Anyway, they have a very aggressive goal and I see their point and I see the value for certain +[3096.30 --> 3097.30] things like smart watches. +[3097.30 --> 3098.30] Yeah. +[3098.30 --> 3100.30] This would be a great way to read your latest text message. +[3100.30 --> 3104.30] If you like a notification and you have like the option, like read or spritz. +[3104.30 --> 3107.30] You could say spritz and then you could like read the whole thing and like, I mean, 1,000 +[3107.30 --> 3108.30] words per minute. +[3108.30 --> 3109.30] So that would be what? +[3109.30 --> 3112.30] Six words per second or whatever that works out to. +[3112.30 --> 3113.30] I'm not great at math. +[3113.30 --> 3114.30] 240 words per second? +[3114.30 --> 3115.30] I don't know. +[3115.30 --> 3116.30] No, no, that's... +[3116.30 --> 3117.30] Yeah, no, no, not that. +[3117.30 --> 3119.30] 1,000 words per minute. +[3119.30 --> 3120.30] So what's that? +[3120.30 --> 3121.30] Divided by 60. +[3121.30 --> 3122.30] Thank you. +[3122.30 --> 3123.30] 16 words per second. +[3123.30 --> 3125.30] So if you could read it at 16 words per second, you could read a 20-something. +[3125.30 --> 3127.30] You could read a tweet. +[3127.30 --> 3129.30] So 140 divided by 16. +[3129.30 --> 3130.30] So it's going to be what? +[3130.30 --> 3132.30] About eight seconds you could read a tweet. +[3132.30 --> 3133.30] That seems slow. +[3133.30 --> 3134.30] No, that's not right. +[3134.30 --> 3135.30] Is it right? +[3135.30 --> 3136.30] Yeah. +[3136.30 --> 3137.30] 5 by 16. +[3137.30 --> 3138.30] Yeah. +[3138.30 --> 3141.30] About eight and a half seconds you could read a tweet and it would just like appear on +[3141.30 --> 3143.30] your watch or on Google Glass, for example. +[3143.30 --> 3146.30] Places where we're going to be stuck with extremely small displays. +[3146.30 --> 3147.30] The place where I... +[3147.30 --> 3148.30] You just did 140. +[3148.30 --> 3151.30] It's not 140 words per Twitter thing. +[3151.30 --> 3152.30] It's 140 characters. +[3152.30 --> 3153.30] Characters. +[3153.30 --> 3154.30] Right. +[3154.30 --> 3155.30] That's a problem. +[3155.30 --> 3156.30] I was like, there's no way that's right. +[3156.30 --> 3157.30] Yeah. +[3157.30 --> 3160.30] So assuming like an average of like five characters per word or something like that, you could +[3160.30 --> 3163.30] probably read it in like two or three seconds or whatever. +[3163.30 --> 3164.30] Really quick. +[3164.30 --> 3165.30] So that's really fast. +[3165.30 --> 3166.30] Right. +[3166.30 --> 3167.30] Thank you. +[3167.30 --> 3168.30] Thank you. +[3168.30 --> 3169.30] I'm sure that Twitch chat was freaking out and helping me out. +[3169.30 --> 3171.30] Well, they haven't yet because yay, Twitch delay. +[3171.30 --> 3172.30] Right. +[3172.30 --> 3173.30] The delay. +[3173.30 --> 3174.30] Yeah. +[3174.30 --> 3175.30] It's 140 characters, not words. +[3175.30 --> 3176.30] Yeah, yeah, yeah. +[3176.30 --> 3177.30] Okay. +[3177.30 --> 3181.30] I see the point of it for certain things, but I still am not going to switch to spritzing +[3181.30 --> 3184.30] for a lot of the stuff I do because I'm a skimmer. +[3184.30 --> 3191.30] So as fast as I could spritz an entire page of text, I guarantee you I can skim it 10 times +[3191.30 --> 3197.30] faster because I tend to be the kind of reader that goes, okay, I'm reading this SSD review. +[3197.30 --> 3205.30] I want to know about read consistency or write consistency, performance consistency. +[3205.30 --> 3212.30] So I can skim a page probably at about this speed and look for the word consistency and then go back +[3212.30 --> 3214.30] and read the parts that are important to me. +[3214.30 --> 3216.30] And I might not actually read it in order. +[3216.30 --> 3219.30] And that's my reading comprehension is very strong that way. +[3219.30 --> 3225.30] Whereas if I actually read word for word, I may not remember as much, but I haven't spritzed extensively yet. +[3225.30 --> 3230.30] And they're claiming that reading comprehension is improved by spritzing. +[3230.30 --> 3238.30] Another problem that I have is the way that I tend to read books because I don't have a great memory for names and characters. +[3238.30 --> 3246.30] So reading song of fire and ice, ice and fire rather, reading song of ice and fire is real challenging for me +[3246.30 --> 3251.30] because there's so many characters that what I'll often find myself doing is going back and checking things +[3251.30 --> 3253.30] and spritzing wouldn't really allow me to do that. +[3253.30 --> 3255.30] It would just like power through. +[3255.30 --> 3258.30] But then if it improves my reading comprehension and retention, then maybe it's great. +[3258.30 --> 3263.30] I don't think I'd be able to use this properly for a book because I think also like at certain speeds, +[3263.30 --> 3265.30] blinking is even going to be a big deal. +[3265.30 --> 3266.30] Yeah. +[3266.30 --> 3269.30] And staring at this thing for an extremely long period of time, I think could be frustrating. +[3269.30 --> 3276.30] But text messages, telegrams, whatever it comes down to, whatever you start doing, short form email, +[3276.30 --> 3280.30] stuff like that could be a lot easier to just fly through. +[3280.30 --> 3285.30] News headlines, I'm sure RSS could come back in a big way. +[3285.30 --> 3288.30] I know it hasn't gone away, but it's a lot smaller than it used to be. +[3288.30 --> 3292.30] If you could just be like spritz updates on your Google Glass every once in a while. +[3292.30 --> 3293.30] Just do do do do do do do. +[3293.30 --> 3296.30] Imagine how much more trivial crap you could process on Twitter with this. +[3296.30 --> 3297.30] No, exactly. +[3297.30 --> 3302.30] Like reading the home tab on Twitter would be viable. +[3302.30 --> 3306.30] Right now it's just kind of difficult to deal with. +[3306.30 --> 3307.30] Oh my god, too many things going on. +[3307.30 --> 3308.30] Alright. +[3308.30 --> 3309.30] So what do we got next? +[3309.30 --> 3312.30] Oh, this is probably going to be a Luke topic. +[3312.30 --> 3313.30] What? +[3313.30 --> 3314.30] Oculus. +[3314.30 --> 3316.30] Oh, yeah. +[3316.30 --> 3323.30] Should I just like go through all of the Oculus things all of a sudden? +[3323.30 --> 3324.30] Um, yeah. +[3324.30 --> 3326.30] Star Citizen hangar support. +[3326.30 --> 3327.30] Yeah, yeah. +[3327.30 --> 3328.30] Do all your Oculus stuff. +[3328.30 --> 3329.30] Oculus time! +[3329.30 --> 3336.30] So it requires a minor edit to one of the files, but you can get Oculus Rift working in the Star Citizen hangar. +[3336.30 --> 3339.30] I'm definitely doing that this weekend. +[3339.30 --> 3342.30] Like there's no chance that I'm not doing that this weekend. +[3342.30 --> 3344.30] So I'm super excited about that. +[3344.30 --> 3348.30] Because being able to get into the cockpit of your ship, of course you can't fly anywhere yet. +[3348.30 --> 3351.30] That's coming in dogfighting around April 18th. +[3351.30 --> 3356.30] Um, but you can get in the cockpit of your fighter, or whatever you have, and look around and actually see everything. +[3356.30 --> 3358.30] Oh my god, that's so cool. +[3358.30 --> 3362.30] Um, there's also a big post on NeoGap that was put up recently about someone who went to Valve. +[3362.30 --> 3365.30] Valve is giving all of their tech to Oculus, as we already know. +[3365.30 --> 3369.30] And the guy was just completely blown away about the VR room that they have going. +[3369.30 --> 3374.30] Which is set up where there's cameras around and stuff and you're looking at QR codes and the QR codes can queue events. +[3374.30 --> 3377.30] So while you're walking around the room, different things can happen. +[3377.30 --> 3380.30] And one of the things that he said was, he's not afraid of heights or anything. +[3380.30 --> 3382.30] He's like very notably not afraid of heights. +[3382.30 --> 3386.30] Yet when he walked up to what was portrayed as a cliff edge. +[3386.30 --> 3390.30] Oh, I'm just like, oops, sorry, sorry. +[3390.30 --> 3392.30] Oh, Twitch chat's probably freaking out. +[3392.30 --> 3393.30] Were you just playing a video? +[3393.30 --> 3394.30] Yep. +[3394.30 --> 3395.30] Awesome. +[3395.30 --> 3401.30] When he went up to what was portrayed as a cliff edge, he was actually legitimately scared to walk off. +[3401.30 --> 3407.30] And didn't for a little while until he was finally gathered his senses, I guess. +[3407.30 --> 3409.30] And finally decided to actually take that step. +[3409.30 --> 3411.30] And he said it was legitimately scary. +[3411.30 --> 3412.30] That's so cool. +[3412.30 --> 3413.30] That's very interesting. +[3413.30 --> 3418.30] Um, so I actually don't know a ton about this article, despite putting it in here myself. +[3418.30 --> 3419.30] Um, I believe. +[3419.30 --> 3420.30] Way to go. +[3420.30 --> 3422.30] Alright, here, I'll bring it up if you want to just go through it. +[3422.30 --> 3423.30] Sure. +[3423.30 --> 3431.30] So, uh, this is, I guess, people exploring singular scenes with Oculus Rift. +[3431.30 --> 3432.30] I actually haven't looked at this at all. +[3432.30 --> 3441.30] Okay, so basically it's, uh, it's the article on marketingmagazine.co.uk is about alternative uses for the Oculus. +[3441.30 --> 3450.30] So they're talking about it with, in the context of things like test driving a car, um, things like doing a virtual tour of a house that you're thinking of buying. +[3450.30 --> 3453.30] I mean, imagine how this makes the world smaller. +[3453.30 --> 3455.30] I mean, the way people shop for real estate now. +[3455.30 --> 3456.30] Yeah. +[3456.30 --> 3460.30] Is you go to the house and you walk around it in order to get a feel for the space. +[3460.30 --> 3469.30] What if you could just go to the, you know, the real estate agent's office where they have like, you know, five oculuses that are like the communal oculuses. +[3469.30 --> 3470.30] Oculi? +[3470.30 --> 3471.30] Yeah, oculi, sure. +[3471.30 --> 3475.30] You put one on and then you can, you can do an actual, so, okay, right. +[3475.30 --> 3476.30] So, okay, right. +[3476.30 --> 3481.30] So going back to that phone project from last week where you just walk around and map the place with the phone, okay. +[3481.30 --> 3490.30] And then you throw on an Oculus somewhere halfway around the world and you can actually shop for a new home somewhere completely across the globe. +[3490.30 --> 3491.30] And experience it. +[3491.30 --> 3492.30] And experience it. +[3492.30 --> 3493.30] I actually have totally read this. +[3493.30 --> 3495.30] I just, the title that was in the doc threw me off. +[3495.30 --> 3497.30] I looked at the URL and figured it out. +[3497.30 --> 3498.30] Ah. +[3498.30 --> 3500.30] So, yeah, it's really interesting. +[3500.30 --> 3506.30] And there's a bunch of other things coming into play too is, um, some guy had an artificial hand put on. +[3506.30 --> 3509.30] His hand was cut off for whatever reason and he had it replaced with an artificial one. +[3509.30 --> 3515.30] And he was able to, through a screen so that he can't see it, reach and touch something and tell people what it was. +[3515.30 --> 3518.30] Because feeling was portrayed and he could tell textures and stuff like that. +[3518.30 --> 3522.30] So he could tell them what he was touching without being able to see it with an artificial hand. +[3522.30 --> 3529.30] So, if they can get that type of technology into something like gloves or something like that, and then you can wear an Oculus. +[3529.30 --> 3534.30] You could walk around an environment and feel things and look at things and experience that environment without actually being there. +[3534.30 --> 3539.30] This comes into play with a bunch of things that have been happening recently with, uh, like golf courses. +[3539.30 --> 3541.30] Like you were just talking, you could shop for a house. +[3541.30 --> 3542.30] Yeah. +[3542.30 --> 3545.30] You could also go through a walkthrough of a golf course. +[3545.30 --> 3549.30] There's a lot of people that travel around to different golf courses because they're such amazing experiences. +[3549.30 --> 3553.30] If you could walk the greens before actually going there, that's awesome. +[3553.30 --> 3558.30] They've already done things with, uh, allowing you to go on essentially like Google Street View tours of golf courses. +[3558.30 --> 3560.30] You can see the whole thing. +[3560.30 --> 3565.30] But if you could virtually walk it, that's just even a lot more interesting. +[3565.30 --> 3576.30] And I think not even necessarily just the Rift and not even necessarily just Oculus, but just VR in general, I think is going to be a huge marketing tool in the future. +[3576.30 --> 3584.30] And no matter what way you look at it, because now, um, another thing that people have brought up is, you know how people have always called, or not always, but. +[3584.30 --> 3588.30] The entire Twitch chat seems to only be interested in VR porn. +[3588.30 --> 3591.30] Well, that's, I'm sure that's going to be huge. +[3591.30 --> 3594.30] There's, there's no point in trying to shove that under a blanket. +[3594.30 --> 3595.30] Oh God. +[3595.30 --> 3596.30] Um, cause. +[3596.30 --> 3599.30] Yeah, I don't think it'll fit in there. +[3599.30 --> 3605.30] Um, that, that's going to be huge, but like people have been talking, I know, I had to say it again. +[3605.30 --> 3609.30] Uh, people have been talking recently about how Best Buy is just like an Amazon showroom. +[3609.30 --> 3610.30] Yeah. +[3610.30 --> 3612.30] Maybe you don't need an Amazon showroom anymore. +[3612.30 --> 3613.30] Right. +[3613.30 --> 3614.30] Maybe you just put an Oculus on. +[3614.30 --> 3616.30] Probably won't need unboxing videos anymore. +[3616.30 --> 3617.30] Yes, you will. +[3617.30 --> 3619.30] It's a good thing we don't do them anymore. +[3619.30 --> 3620.30] That was so funny. +[3620.30 --> 3626.30] Like how few people even like cared when I brought it up at the end of that video. +[3626.30 --> 3630.30] People that I talk to and I'll like bring up Linus Tech Tips and they'll be like, yeah, I like his unboxing videos. +[3630.30 --> 3632.30] Like, oh yeah, do you still watch? +[3632.30 --> 3633.30] And they're like, yeah. +[3633.30 --> 3634.30] I'm like, interesting. +[3634.30 --> 3639.30] Like that's cool. +[3639.30 --> 3643.30] We don't do that anymore. +[3643.30 --> 3644.30] So I don't know. +[3644.30 --> 3645.30] Yeah. +[3645.30 --> 3647.30] I don't know how to tell you this. +[3647.30 --> 3649.30] Um, we actually don't do them. +[3649.30 --> 3651.30] We haven't done one in like months. +[3651.30 --> 3652.30] Quite a while actually. +[3652.30 --> 3653.30] Yeah. +[3653.30 --> 3654.30] So I don't know. +[3654.30 --> 3657.30] Again, as every week, exciting things in VR happening. +[3657.30 --> 3658.30] Yeah. +[3658.30 --> 3660.30] And one of the big things from the article as well. +[3660.30 --> 3667.30] So this is Mike Woods, the head of the company, VFX company, frame store or something behind +[3667.30 --> 3668.30] gravity. +[3668.30 --> 3670.30] Anyway, behind that movie is talking about using this for storytelling. +[3670.30 --> 3675.30] So using real time game engines to, to do more interactive storytelling. +[3675.30 --> 3683.30] I mean, this, this to me, VR is great for gaming and it's going to be great for movies in some ways. +[3683.30 --> 3686.30] I think, okay, I've, I've heard the movie thing many, many times. +[3686.30 --> 3689.30] And like you're doing right there with the games and movies thing. +[3689.30 --> 3690.30] I don't think it's going to be a movie anymore. +[3690.30 --> 3695.30] Games have been interactive storytelling experiences for a while now. +[3695.30 --> 3696.30] Let's be honest with ourselves. +[3696.30 --> 3697.30] Yeah. +[3697.30 --> 3698.30] Quick time of days. +[3698.30 --> 3699.30] Especially certain games. +[3699.30 --> 3705.30] Um, so if we could take Hollywood's storytelling ability, which you can like, or you can hate +[3705.30 --> 3707.30] on Hollywood all you want, whatever. +[3707.30 --> 3712.30] Um, but if we could take the raw talent that is available in the movie industry and bring +[3712.30 --> 3718.30] that to the interactive storytelling experience, maybe we wouldn't have so many complaints about +[3718.30 --> 3723.30] this game sucks because it was entirely story driven and the story was stupid. +[3723.30 --> 3730.30] Maybe we would get interactive storytelling experience games like, like WALL-E for example. +[3730.30 --> 3731.30] Yeah. +[3731.30 --> 3735.30] And we could be fat with our big juice and we could sit in our chair that we never moved +[3735.30 --> 3738.30] from just like WALL-E and experience them. +[3738.30 --> 3741.30] It's, it's, it's ridiculously interesting. +[3741.30 --> 3742.30] I'm excited to see what it comes from. +[3742.30 --> 3746.30] And especially from people like the guys who made Gravity, uh, Chris Hadfield aside hating +[3746.30 --> 3748.30] Gravity and getting kicked out of the theater. +[3748.30 --> 3754.30] But anyways, um, it'd be really interesting if you could move that to a VR experience because +[3754.30 --> 3759.30] I'm sure different parts of that movie would like legitimately scare people. +[3759.30 --> 3765.30] And you're moving from like a lot of horror movies nowadays just being jump scares, which +[3765.30 --> 3767.30] is stupid in my opinion. +[3767.30 --> 3768.30] Yeah. +[3768.30 --> 3772.30] To actually inciting fear because you feel like you're actually in the movie. +[3772.30 --> 3774.30] Which I think is really cool. +[3774.30 --> 3779.30] Um, apparently Reddit debunked, uh, Spritz. +[3779.30 --> 3780.30] Something something. +[3780.30 --> 3783.30] This sounds too good to be true because it is. +[3783.30 --> 3786.30] RSVP, rapid serial visual presentation. +[3786.30 --> 3788.30] This technology being showcased here doesn't work. +[3788.30 --> 3792.30] The technique was a massive field of research in military neuroscience in the seventies. +[3792.30 --> 3794.30] They tested reading speed and comprehension using it. +[3794.30 --> 3796.30] I'm just going to summarize their findings. +[3796.30 --> 3798.30] It feels as though it works because we see all the words. +[3798.30 --> 3801.30] At no point do we feel we are missing anything, but that doesn't mean we can actually process the words. +[3801.30 --> 3804.30] It doesn't increase rate of comprehension. +[3804.30 --> 3808.30] Uh, reading with RSVP can cause problems parsing sentences and normal reading our eyes scan around the page. +[3808.30 --> 3810.30] But that's, this is the same reason. +[3810.30 --> 3811.30] Yeah. +[3811.30 --> 3812.30] Okay, so we'll see. +[3812.30 --> 3813.30] Why don't we just. +[3813.30 --> 3816.30] And well this is also the reason why you and I both said we wouldn't read a book. +[3816.30 --> 3818.30] That was based around reading Harry Potter. +[3818.30 --> 3819.30] Yeah. +[3819.30 --> 3823.30] We would quickly read headlines and different things that we don't necessarily have to fully absorb. +[3823.30 --> 3825.30] This is actually something I exactly said. +[3825.30 --> 3828.30] I don't want to necessarily absorb every single individual word. +[3828.30 --> 3830.30] That's why if I was reading a book I would read it normally. +[3830.30 --> 3834.30] Because if I want to make sure that I'm getting every single individual word, I would read it normally. +[3834.30 --> 3841.30] If I'm just grabbing a quick headline and the only two words I actually care about in the headline are like 714 and New Worlds. +[3841.30 --> 3843.30] So I guess that's three words. +[3843.30 --> 3847.30] Um, I'm not too worried about fully comprehending. +[3847.30 --> 3850.30] We found blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. +[3850.30 --> 3851.30] Because that's not really a big deal. +[3851.30 --> 3854.30] I just want to get the gist of it as fast as I possibly can. +[3854.30 --> 3858.30] So, sure Reddit, but I don't care. +[3858.30 --> 3865.30] Alright, so speaking of things that most people in the US won't care about. +[3865.30 --> 3866.30] This phone. +[3866.30 --> 3867.30] This phone. +[3867.30 --> 3868.30] Here we go guys. +[3868.30 --> 3869.30] This phone. +[3869.30 --> 3870.30] The Nokia XL. +[3870.30 --> 3875.30] So, this will be running Android. +[3875.30 --> 3879.30] So, the whole word on the street, yes Nokia's going Android. +[3879.30 --> 3882.30] Um, yeah, they're doing it. +[3882.30 --> 3885.30] However, it will be a fully customized version of Android. +[3885.30 --> 3887.30] So this is going to be a forked Android. +[3887.30 --> 3892.30] Which means that you're not going to have access to the Google Play Store. +[3892.30 --> 3896.30] You're not going to have a lot of the support for Nokia. +[3896.30 --> 3902.30] Because remember, anyone making a device that is running a forked version of Android +[3902.30 --> 3904.30] does not get support from Google. +[3904.30 --> 3905.30] Like, at all. +[3905.30 --> 3907.30] I don't think they get G apps at all either, do they? +[3907.30 --> 3908.30] I don't believe so. +[3908.30 --> 3909.30] Yeah. +[3909.30 --> 3912.30] So, it'll be running a completely customized version of Android. +[3912.30 --> 3914.30] You will be able to install Android apps. +[3914.30 --> 3917.30] But you'll have to manually download the APK. +[3917.30 --> 3921.30] Which frankly isn't that big of a deal if you're tech savvy and you're willing to work around it. +[3921.30 --> 3924.30] The specs on it aren't particularly high-end. +[3924.30 --> 3926.30] They're actually nothing special. +[3926.30 --> 3930.30] I mean, even the screen I believe is 400 by 800? +[3930.30 --> 3931.30] 800 by 480. +[3931.30 --> 3932.30] So that's WVGA. +[3932.30 --> 3933.30] Wide VGA. +[3933.30 --> 3935.30] So really nothing special. +[3935.30 --> 3937.30] But it's supposed to be a low-end device. +[3937.30 --> 3938.30] So it's got a 5 inch display. +[3938.30 --> 3941.30] It's going to be priced at around 109 euros. +[3941.30 --> 3943.30] Or equivalent to around 150 dollars. +[3943.30 --> 3945.30] It'll have front and back cameras. +[3945.30 --> 3948.30] And, um, so yeah. +[3948.30 --> 3952.30] So things like Play Store are removed and replaced with Nokia's App Store. +[3952.30 --> 3956.30] And, uh, Microsoft's OneDrive replaces Google Drive. +[3956.30 --> 3962.30] And, so this is just part of a new family of Android powered devices. +[3962.30 --> 3968.30] But I think it's going to be really interesting to see, um, how much acceptance something like this can gain. +[3968.30 --> 3969.30] Because... +[3969.30 --> 3972.30] I think the only way they're going to be able to do it is by hitting that price point. +[3972.30 --> 3974.30] Because it's really not that impressive of a phone. +[3974.30 --> 3977.30] But would you buy a Moto G instead? +[3977.30 --> 3978.30] A 100... +[3978.30 --> 3979.30] How much exactly is a Moto G? +[3979.30 --> 3980.30] $179.99. +[3980.30 --> 3981.30] Then yes. +[3981.30 --> 3986.30] That's an extra $30 for a proper Android experience. +[3986.30 --> 3987.30] I... +[3987.30 --> 3988.30] Like, I don't even know what... +[3988.30 --> 3989.30] Yeah, I probably would. +[3989.30 --> 3993.30] But we're talking potentially about developing markets anyway. +[3993.30 --> 3996.30] Where $30 might actually be a really big difference. +[3996.30 --> 3998.30] But then if you have... +[3998.30 --> 4000.30] I don't know, guys. +[4000.30 --> 4001.30] Tweet us. +[4001.30 --> 4002.30] Let us know what you think. +[4002.30 --> 4007.30] If you have $150 to spend, do you have $180 to spend? +[4007.30 --> 4008.30] For you personally. +[4008.30 --> 4013.30] Like, if you're deciding between a $150 item or a $180 item. +[4013.30 --> 4015.30] Is the $30 a factor for you? +[4015.30 --> 4018.30] I think it's always going to be a B-list for me. +[4018.30 --> 4020.30] Like, say I'm in that situation. +[4020.30 --> 4021.30] Yeah. +[4021.30 --> 4025.30] I would honestly rather save for like two months. +[4025.30 --> 4026.30] If I had to. +[4026.30 --> 4027.30] Or more. +[4027.30 --> 4028.30] And just get the better phone. +[4028.30 --> 4031.30] Because I would way rather a Moto G over that. +[4031.30 --> 4035.30] But, if it was a situation that I have been in before. +[4035.30 --> 4037.30] Which is where like, your phone is dead. +[4037.30 --> 4038.30] You need something now. +[4038.30 --> 4039.30] You need something now. +[4039.30 --> 4041.30] If I only have the $150... +[4041.30 --> 4042.30] Okay. +[4042.30 --> 4044.30] That's a fair point. +[4044.30 --> 4046.30] Because I mean, like... +[4046.30 --> 4048.30] Technology in particularly. +[4048.30 --> 4051.30] Like, I'm one of the biggest cheapskates around. +[4051.30 --> 4053.30] When it comes to things other than technology. +[4053.30 --> 4054.30] To be perfectly honest. +[4054.30 --> 4058.30] But with technology, I have the luxury of getting... +[4058.30 --> 4059.30] Oh! +[4059.30 --> 4060.30] Oh! +[4060.30 --> 4061.30] I didn't even realize. +[4061.30 --> 4062.30] That's what I'm saying. +[4062.30 --> 4063.30] Oh! +[4063.30 --> 4064.30] Okay. +[4064.30 --> 4065.30] Oh, shoot. +[4065.30 --> 4066.30] Okay. +[4066.30 --> 4067.30] Yeah, let's get our guest rolling here. +[4067.30 --> 4068.30] So, let's... +[4068.30 --> 4069.30] Do you want to start the call? +[4069.30 --> 4071.30] I'll just sort of talk very briefly about this. +[4071.30 --> 4072.30] Shoot! +[4072.30 --> 4073.30] I can't believe I didn't get this. +[4073.30 --> 4074.30] Oh, it's... +[4074.30 --> 4075.30] That's embarrassing. +[4075.30 --> 4076.30] Um... +[4076.30 --> 4079.30] Yeah, like I've always had the luxury of... +[4079.30 --> 4080.30] Well, not always. +[4080.30 --> 4082.30] But, like working at NCIX, I'd get deals on stuff. +[4082.30 --> 4083.30] Yeah. +[4083.30 --> 4085.30] And then now, we get samples of a lot of stuff. +[4085.30 --> 4090.30] So, I don't necessarily think about $30 the same way as when I'm buying a new tool. +[4090.30 --> 4091.30] For example. +[4091.30 --> 4092.30] Yeah. +[4092.30 --> 4093.30] Yeah, exactly. +[4093.30 --> 4094.30] I'm shopping for things. +[4094.30 --> 4095.30] $30 is a big deal. +[4095.30 --> 4096.30] And then... +[4096.30 --> 4098.30] You're also much more interested in that type of stuff. +[4098.30 --> 4099.30] So, it's... +[4099.30 --> 4102.30] For other people, maybe the phone isn't as big of a deal. +[4102.30 --> 4103.30] So, they want to save the $30. +[4103.30 --> 4104.30] Yeah. +[4104.30 --> 4105.30] And that's... +[4105.30 --> 4106.30] I can definitely see that. +[4106.30 --> 4107.30] Like, I'm not... +[4107.30 --> 4108.30] My dad has a $60 phone right now that runs Android. +[4108.30 --> 4109.30] Right. +[4109.30 --> 4110.30] And I'm not a tool hobbyist. +[4110.30 --> 4111.30] Yeah. +[4111.30 --> 4112.30] Whatever saw cuts the wood. +[4112.30 --> 4113.30] That's what I buy. +[4113.30 --> 4116.30] Got a wooden handle, composite handle, carbon fiber handle, what do I care? +[4116.30 --> 4119.30] That being said, my dad does use tools all the time and still wouldn't buy the more expensive +[4119.30 --> 4120.30] tool. +[4120.30 --> 4123.30] So, I think different strokes for different folks. +[4123.30 --> 4125.30] And I do want to hear what you guys have to say on Twitter. +[4125.30 --> 4127.30] But we have our guest joining us! +[4127.30 --> 4130.30] And I feel sort of super, super terrible right now that... +[4130.30 --> 4133.30] Oh, does it have the right microphone on there? +[4133.30 --> 4134.30] Uh... +[4134.30 --> 4135.30] I hope. +[4135.30 --> 4136.30] You hope. +[4136.30 --> 4137.30] Hey, Tom, can you hear us? +[4137.30 --> 4138.30] Yeah, I can. +[4138.30 --> 4139.30] How's it going? +[4139.30 --> 4140.30] Yes, rock on. +[4140.30 --> 4142.30] Okay, let's go ahead and throw up the guest. +[4142.30 --> 4143.30] Don't throw up the guest. +[4143.30 --> 4144.30] I mean, he's... +[4144.30 --> 4145.30] Mwah! +[4145.30 --> 4148.30] He's delicious. +[4148.30 --> 4151.30] We wouldn't throw him up at all. +[4151.30 --> 4152.30] So, guys. +[4152.30 --> 4153.30] Um... +[4153.30 --> 4154.30] Hey, Tom, welcome to the show. +[4154.30 --> 4155.30] Uh... +[4155.30 --> 4156.30] How are ya? +[4156.30 --> 4157.30] I'm good. +[4157.30 --> 4158.30] I'm good. +[4158.30 --> 4159.30] Uh... +[4159.30 --> 4160.30] I'm Tom from somewhere ChronoFusion in the chat has never heard of. +[4160.30 --> 4161.30] Nice to be here. +[4161.30 --> 4162.30] Ha ha ha. +[4162.30 --> 4163.30] ChronoFusion, we love you. +[4163.30 --> 4164.30] ChronoFusion is our... +[4164.30 --> 4166.30] Is our neighborhood, um... +[4166.30 --> 4171.30] Purveyor of things that are not necessarily appealing to him or something. +[4171.30 --> 4172.30] Ha ha ha ha. +[4172.30 --> 4173.30] Captain... +[4173.30 --> 4175.30] Captain Negativity and Positivity. +[4175.30 --> 4177.30] Yeah, my apologies for being late. +[4177.30 --> 4178.30] Uh... +[4178.30 --> 4180.30] I just got done with Current Geek about ten minutes ago or so. +[4180.30 --> 4181.30] So, uh... +[4181.30 --> 4182.30] Thanks. +[4182.30 --> 4183.30] Thanks for bringing me on, though. +[4183.30 --> 4184.30] I'm looking forward to this. +[4184.30 --> 4190.30] So, for those of you who are like ChronoFusion and don't know where Mr. Merritt is from, +[4190.30 --> 4194.30] give us a little bit of a brief history of you and what you do and what you're all about. +[4194.30 --> 4196.30] Yeah, I've been kicking around for a while. +[4196.30 --> 4203.30] I used to work at Tech TV way back in the day and I worked at CNET for several years and I did some shows for Twit for several years. +[4203.30 --> 4208.30] So, I've done some tech journalism writing and audio podcasts and videos. +[4208.30 --> 4215.30] And what I'm doing now, I'm an independent podcaster, so I have a daily show called Daily Tech News Show, where we do what it says on the tin. +[4215.30 --> 4216.30] Very creative. +[4216.30 --> 4217.30] We just look at Daily Tech News. +[4217.30 --> 4218.30] Yeah, yeah, exactly. +[4218.30 --> 4219.30] Uh... +[4219.30 --> 4222.30] And then I also have several other independent shows. +[4222.30 --> 4224.30] One called Chord Killers is about cord cutting. +[4224.30 --> 4228.30] Another one called Sword and Laser is a science fiction and fantasy book show. +[4228.30 --> 4233.30] And then Current Geek is like kind of a weekly wrap up of geeky stuff that I do with Scott Johnson. +[4233.30 --> 4238.30] Those are the main shows that I do every week and I've got a few other indie projects out there as well. +[4238.30 --> 4246.30] So, tell us a little bit about how important your community has been to your recent independence. +[4246.30 --> 4248.30] It's been essential. +[4248.30 --> 4257.30] You know, I've been lucky enough to be involved with amazing communities at Tech TV, when I was doing the show Buzz Out Loud at CNET and at Twit. +[4257.30 --> 4262.30] And so, a lot of them have continued to say, hey, you know, I like the stuff you do. +[4262.30 --> 4263.30] How can we support it? +[4263.30 --> 4264.30] And it's been overwhelming. +[4264.30 --> 4265.30] It's been awesome. +[4265.30 --> 4268.30] Okay, we're just gonna turn you down just a touch. +[4268.30 --> 4271.30] I hear my bass is too bassy. +[4271.30 --> 4276.30] You got that AM radio sound, whereas I have that excited chipmunk sound. +[4276.30 --> 4280.30] AM radio isn't bassy, though. +[4280.30 --> 4281.30] If I'm AM, that'd be good. +[4281.30 --> 4286.30] But you got that nice sound to it, because you're nice and close to your mic, and you got that pop filter and all that. +[4286.30 --> 4291.30] We've got like a, here, I don't know if you can see this, but we've got like a boom mic sort of above us. +[4291.30 --> 4292.30] You guys are good, though. +[4292.30 --> 4293.30] I was watching the Twitch stream. +[4293.30 --> 4294.30] It looks great. +[4294.30 --> 4295.30] Oh, thank you. +[4295.30 --> 4302.30] We actually are using a Blackmagic cinema camera for our video podcasting camera now. +[4302.30 --> 4303.30] It's difficult to... +[4303.30 --> 4304.30] Yeah, I'm sorry. +[4304.30 --> 4308.30] I'm trying to look at you, Tom, but I got to look at the audience, too. +[4308.30 --> 4309.30] And it's... +[4309.30 --> 4310.30] No worries. +[4310.30 --> 4312.30] I've got you out of the corner of my eye, too, because I got to look at the camera. +[4312.30 --> 4313.30] Excellent. +[4313.30 --> 4314.30] So yeah, the... +[4314.30 --> 4318.30] We're using a Blackmagic cinema camera, which we also use for other projects. +[4318.30 --> 4322.30] But now that we have it, we figured, well, hey, let's amp up the quality of our video stream. +[4322.30 --> 4326.30] And, you know, $2,000 camera is never a bad way to go for a video podcast. +[4326.30 --> 4327.30] No doubt. +[4327.30 --> 4328.30] Yeah, it looks really good. +[4328.30 --> 4334.30] So, speaking of webcams, let's jump into our first guest topic here, shall we? +[4334.30 --> 4339.30] The source that we have on this one is from The Guardian, but my understanding is you've +[4339.30 --> 4341.30] actually talked about this before. +[4341.30 --> 4345.30] I'm going to go ahead and just prime the audience on it here. +[4345.30 --> 4353.30] So, the OpticNerve, a project that allowed millions of Yahoo webcam images to be intercepted +[4353.30 --> 4355.30] by GCHQ. +[4355.30 --> 4362.30] If that's not a giant security facepalm moment, I don't know what is. +[4362.30 --> 4364.30] Yeah, this is a pretty crazy story. +[4364.30 --> 4367.30] It comes from the Edward Snowden leaks, obviously. +[4367.30 --> 4376.30] And essentially what they were doing was capturing Yahoo chat video every five minutes and saving +[4376.30 --> 4378.30] a still image into a big database. +[4378.30 --> 4383.30] And what's interesting is they actually had a lot of rules over how they could access it. +[4383.30 --> 4393.30] They, you know, it's GCHQ in the UK, so they have different rules in the United States, but they were saying we can only look for particular usernames or similar usernames. +[4393.30 --> 4395.30] And that's where it gets dicey, right? +[4395.30 --> 4404.30] Because if I happen to have a username that just sounds like the terrorists that they're looking for from Afghanistan, or at least the guy they think is, right? +[4404.30 --> 4405.30] Right. +[4405.30 --> 4406.30] I can have my images saved. +[4406.30 --> 4418.30] And the other crazy thing is in the policy manual, they said, you're going to see, you know, we were surprised to find out that people use these chats to show intimate parts of their body. +[4418.30 --> 4422.30] And I'm like, you've never used the internet before, if you're surprised by that. +[4422.30 --> 4436.30] So the document estimates that between three and 11%, because I guess they didn't pour through every single one, three to 11% of the Yahoo webcam imagery harvested contains undesirable nudity. +[4436.30 --> 4438.30] So is that the nudity? +[4438.30 --> 4439.30] Yes. +[4439.30 --> 4441.30] I want to know how much desirable nudity there was. +[4441.30 --> 4444.30] So is that the nudity other than like Scarlett Johansson? +[4444.30 --> 4445.30] I guess. +[4445.30 --> 4446.30] Yeah. +[4446.30 --> 4447.30] No. +[4447.30 --> 4453.30] And I honestly don't care about saying too much in defense of this because it's way over the line. +[4453.30 --> 4457.30] But we did talk on Daily Tech News show about how do you do this right? +[4457.30 --> 4463.30] And there are a lot of policies that they had in these leaks that were saying you can only ask for this kind of information. +[4463.30 --> 4467.30] You can only see the metadata unless you're going after a very specific person. +[4467.30 --> 4474.30] And they were trying to use facial recognition to be able to say, just go, we don't want to look at it, just go through and find that. +[4474.30 --> 4480.30] But there were problems because the facial recognition software couldn't tell naked flesh from faces sometimes. +[4480.30 --> 4485.30] Especially with them low res webcams, right? +[4485.30 --> 4486.30] Yeah. +[4486.30 --> 4494.30] You know, you can start making some jokes about what your face might look like to the facial recognition software. +[4494.30 --> 4504.30] But yeah, it's just the sort of thing where, and we talked on my show about, we want them to find people who want to kill folks, right? +[4504.30 --> 4505.30] We do want that. +[4505.30 --> 4506.30] We do. +[4506.30 --> 4511.30] But how can you do that without trespassing on people's privacy like this? +[4511.30 --> 4514.30] And one person wrote in and was like, you get a warrant, right? +[4514.30 --> 4516.30] But then how do you find this kind of information? +[4516.30 --> 4517.30] It's tempting, right? +[4517.30 --> 4528.30] If you have the ability to tap into a cable and pull all these images and you could say, you could just promise like, oh, I won't look at anything except, you know, the things that are related to the person I'm after. +[4528.30 --> 4529.30] Well, you got to trust people. +[4529.30 --> 4531.30] And there's not a lot of trust out there right now. +[4531.30 --> 4533.30] Well, there's not a lot of trust right now. +[4533.30 --> 4536.30] And the problem is that why should there be? +[4536.30 --> 4539.30] And okay, so there's two things here. +[4539.30 --> 4542.30] Number one is do we trust the machines? +[4542.30 --> 4544.30] Do we trust the algorithms? +[4544.30 --> 4549.30] And earlier on the show, I actually, okay, I said, should we let Gmail, you know, read our mail? +[4549.30 --> 4550.30] Yes, I know. +[4550.30 --> 4555.30] It's not actually an army of Google employees reading every email you send. +[4555.30 --> 4556.30] That's ridiculous. +[4556.30 --> 4561.30] But it is an algorithm that goes through and looks for keywords and then targets their advertising at you. +[4561.30 --> 4563.30] And then who knows what else? +[4563.30 --> 4564.30] Because that's the problem. +[4564.30 --> 4571.30] If we trust the machine or we don't trust the machine, we inherently have to trust a person at some point. +[4571.30 --> 4582.30] And that person can tweak the algorithm or someone somewhere has access to override whatever systems are in place because nobody builds a system that has no back door. +[4582.30 --> 4586.30] And the problem I have again now, so sometimes I trust the person. +[4586.30 --> 4589.30] In fact, a great example of that is Valve. +[4589.30 --> 4594.30] Okay, I think that the community, the gaming community trusts Gabe Newell of Valve. +[4594.30 --> 4600.30] But companies are particularly companies that aren't private companies. +[4600.30 --> 4602.30] They transcend the individuals. +[4602.30 --> 4604.30] It's never about the individual person. +[4604.30 --> 4606.30] So, Tom, what is the solution here? +[4606.30 --> 4609.30] How do we trust anyone to do this? +[4609.30 --> 4611.30] Yeah, I don't know that you can. +[4611.30 --> 4617.30] And I think this is an example of when you don't have proper supervision. +[4617.30 --> 4618.30] You don't have oversight. +[4618.30 --> 4621.30] There's no one from the outside telling you to stop. +[4621.30 --> 4624.30] You start to get things like this that internally make sense, right? +[4624.30 --> 4629.30] At some point, they were just like, we need to be able to go out and tap into a chat. +[4629.30 --> 4630.30] How do we do that? +[4630.30 --> 4632.30] And then it's step by step from there. +[4632.30 --> 4633.30] Well, to do that, we just need to do this. +[4633.30 --> 4636.30] Well, let's justify that because we really need to do it. +[4636.30 --> 4643.30] And eventually, you're scanning every person on Yahoo's video and saving still images every five minutes. +[4643.30 --> 4646.30] And you've led yourself to believe that makes sense. +[4646.30 --> 4651.30] Well, okay, maybe it did make sense, but it's way over the line and you've lost perspective. +[4651.30 --> 4659.30] And if you don't have oversight, if you don't have someone from the outside saying, wait a minute, you shouldn't be able to do this. +[4659.30 --> 4663.30] And if you are going to do this, you really need to show that it's absolutely necessary. +[4663.30 --> 4666.30] And that hasn't been shown in a lot of this stuff either, right? +[4666.30 --> 4672.30] They have not been able to demonstrate that this has led to any kind of significant prevention of terrorism. +[4672.30 --> 4676.30] Then there needs to be somebody that says you can't do this anymore. +[4676.30 --> 4682.30] The other side of this, though, is Yahoo, you know, they were outraged in public when they saw this. +[4682.30 --> 4685.30] And they said they're going to take steps to encrypt. +[4685.30 --> 4687.30] They should have been encrypting all along. +[4687.30 --> 4689.30] You know, everybody's been saying that for years. +[4689.30 --> 4695.30] And suddenly you realize, oh, all that things, that stuff we said we should do, but we kind of didn't because it was hard and costly. +[4695.30 --> 4696.30] Yeah, we should have done that. +[4696.30 --> 4697.30] And now they're going to have to. +[4697.30 --> 4701.30] But this is something that we've actually talked about a fair bit on this show. +[4701.30 --> 4715.30] And that's that to the tech enthusiasts, to the guys like you and me and our viewers, really, the concept of digital privacy and its importance is becoming more and more to the forefront. +[4715.30 --> 4725.30] Whereas to the general layperson, I would argue that it's becoming less and less of a thing about which that they are thinking on a day to day basis. +[4725.30 --> 4736.30] The first time I saw someone who got their driver's license, take their brand new driver's license and post it publicly on Facebook, I just about crapped myself. +[4736.30 --> 4739.30] And I was thinking, do you have any idea what you've just done? +[4739.30 --> 4741.30] And they didn't. +[4741.30 --> 4745.30] And as the technology continues to change, what's that project called? +[4745.30 --> 4747.30] The scanning phone one. +[4747.30 --> 4748.30] The phone one. +[4748.30 --> 4749.30] Prison? +[4749.30 --> 4750.30] Project Tango. +[4750.30 --> 4751.30] Have you heard about Project Tango? +[4751.30 --> 4752.30] Project Tango, yeah, yeah. +[4752.30 --> 4767.30] Okay, so as technology like that is all of a sudden built into the pocket of every person who grows up in a society where they really have a mentality that is, well, I'm not doing anything wrong, so it doesn't really matter if anyone's looking at it. +[4767.30 --> 4771.30] How much more closely can we be spied on and will there ever be a limit? +[4771.30 --> 4775.30] Because you talk about an overseeing body, but then we have to trust them. +[4775.30 --> 4781.30] And you can't let just anyone be the overseeing body because then you could be putting the terrorists right in charge of the whole thing. +[4781.30 --> 4785.30] Well, yeah, there's turtles all the way down at that point, right? +[4785.30 --> 4788.30] I mean, you just, you can't trust anybody and nothing can be done. +[4788.30 --> 4793.30] So you have to put a system of checks and balances in place if you ever want to be able to do anything. +[4793.30 --> 4797.30] I do think that people are getting more security minded. +[4797.30 --> 4805.30] I think when you see things like what you're talking about with the driver's license, it's emblematic of how not security minded we've been. +[4805.30 --> 4811.30] We're growing up as a culture where people say, oh, I didn't even think about that because I didn't have to think about it before. +[4811.30 --> 4812.30] And you're right. +[4812.30 --> 4820.30] You're absolutely right that folks who are into technology and enthusiastic technology are much more security minded, especially about technology, than other people. +[4820.30 --> 4829.30] But I do think that those sorts of situations, because they're happening, because that person who would have never posted a photo online in the past now does because they have a smartphone. +[4829.30 --> 4834.30] Right. Has to actually start confronting like, oh, wait, maybe that wasn't a good idea. Right. +[4834.30 --> 4837.30] So I tend to be maybe I'm being a little Pollyanna about it. +[4837.30 --> 4843.30] I tend to be optimistic that this is actually all going to help companies get more secure. +[4843.30 --> 4849.30] People become at least slightly aware of security issues where I don't think they ever would have before. +[4849.30 --> 4852.30] I actually have to agree with Tom on this one, because I used to see that. +[4852.30 --> 4854.30] Yeah, that's fine. It's just my show. +[4854.30 --> 4855.30] You know, I just pay your salary. +[4855.30 --> 4856.30] Whatever. +[4856.30 --> 4857.30] It can be your show and you can also be wrong. +[4857.30 --> 4858.30] True speech. +[4858.30 --> 4862.30] I've seen that in the past. +[4862.30 --> 4865.30] I've seen multiple people post driver's license on Facebook. +[4865.30 --> 4866.30] Right. +[4866.30 --> 4867.30] That exact thing that you just described. +[4867.30 --> 4868.30] I've seen that more than once. +[4868.30 --> 4870.30] I also saw that more than once years ago. +[4870.30 --> 4872.30] I haven't seen that in a long time. +[4872.30 --> 4879.30] I think people are doing bad security movements in ways that they don't realize, but they are learning things as they go along. +[4879.30 --> 4885.30] And as a community, I haven't seen something as stupid as like social insurance numbers or remember that old thing like, oh, yeah. +[4885.30 --> 4889.30] Do you know if you post on Facebook your social insurance number, it turns into pound signs? +[4889.30 --> 4893.30] Like, I haven't seen people fall for stuff like that in a really long time. +[4893.30 --> 4894.30] Right. +[4894.30 --> 4903.30] But then, so I guess then what we can probably all agree on then is that it will continue to be an arms race and we just have to have faith in people to continue to learn. +[4903.30 --> 4904.30] Definitely. +[4904.30 --> 4905.30] Okay. +[4905.30 --> 4909.30] So let's talk another security sort of topic here. +[4909.30 --> 4911.30] Something that, tell me, tell me something Tom. +[4911.30 --> 4912.30] What a perfect transition, right? +[4912.30 --> 4914.30] Up front, man. +[4914.30 --> 4917.30] Did you have any Bitcoins in Mt. Gox? +[4917.30 --> 4923.30] No, I've never kept any of my Bitcoins anywhere but on a hard drive that's disconnected from the internet most of the time. +[4923.30 --> 4924.30] Okay. +[4924.30 --> 4937.30] See, and again, it's that security mindedness, whereas when lay people like the not tech heads get on, glom onto something like Bitcoin, they might go after it with an approach that's not necessarily perfect. +[4937.30 --> 4940.30] So this was posted by Bonsai 99 on our forum. +[4940.30 --> 4947.30] Mt. Gox, which for those of you who actually don't know this, stands for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange. +[4947.30 --> 4954.30] A lot of people don't know this, but they didn't start out as like cryptocurrency and like as a financial institution. +[4955.30 --> 4960.30] It closes its doors without warning, apparently declaring insolvency. +[4960.30 --> 4967.30] And as of, I believe that was today, they basically came out and said, yeah, we don't have any of it. It's all over. +[4967.30 --> 4972.30] Yeah, they filed the equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Japan. +[4972.30 --> 4995.30] And this sort of fits with some slides that were leaked on Monday that showed that their plan, if these slides are accurate, is to wind down, apologize, reorganize the finances, and come up with a new plan to restructure and try to keep people from going crazy and become a new company called Gox. +[4995.30 --> 5000.30] They'll drop the Magic the, they'll just be gathering online exchange, I guess. +[5000.30 --> 5002.30] And the current CEO would step down. +[5002.30 --> 5014.30] And the first step towards that happening was him apologizing and doing a deep bow in public for the company, which is kind of a normal thing when a Japanese company really screws up. +[5014.30 --> 5022.30] And so the next step, if the slides are accurate, would be that they would name a new CEO and Mark Carpolis would step down. +[5023.30 --> 5029.30] So if you did have your Bitcoins in Mt. Gox, would a deep bow be enough for you? +[5029.30 --> 5040.30] I mean, to put this in perspective, for the viewers who aren't aware of this already, over 300 million US dollars worth of Bitcoins are just, it's suspected that they were stolen. +[5040.30 --> 5043.30] I heard 408 million, so there's different numbers floating around. +[5043.30 --> 5047.30] Okay, I heard 380 earlier today, so, okay. +[5047.30 --> 5051.30] I've heard everywhere from low 300 to getting up to high 400. +[5051.30 --> 5057.30] I guess it depends on whether you're looking at Wink Dex or Coinbase or whatever, how you figure out how much they're worth. +[5057.30 --> 5064.30] I mean, is that enough for you? Would you even allow, would you even consider trusting this company again? +[5064.30 --> 5070.30] No, absolutely not. And I know what they're trying to do. They're trying to salvage what they can from a company. +[5070.30 --> 5075.30] But if Gox comes along with a new CEO and says, store your Bitcoins here, hell no. +[5075.30 --> 5084.30] I don't know what they could possibly do. Their only hope is to get people who don't really, aren't really aware of the past and not screw up again. +[5084.30 --> 5086.30] And maybe they'll be able to get some folks there. +[5086.30 --> 5094.30] They're also the people who actually have Bitcoins there that they can keep because those people want to get their Bitcoins back. +[5094.30 --> 5104.30] So they can dangle that prospect of, we can't give them to you now, but if we get the company back on its feet and get them rolling, we can honor your deposit eventually and you'll eventually get them back. +[5104.30 --> 5111.30] One thing that amazes me is that they think that removing Magicava is going to get all the stigma away. +[5111.30 --> 5117.30] Like, you're still Gox. It still sounds almost identical to Mt. Gox. This isn't going to make everyone forget what happened. +[5117.30 --> 5124.30] And it's something where if this was a more mainstream thing, then I could see something like that actually working. +[5124.30 --> 5130.30] I mean, we've seen the whole change the name of the company, change the CEO, and the history just kind of goes away. +[5130.30 --> 5134.30] Yeah, we manufactured like something that had a chemical that killed a bunch of people. +[5134.30 --> 5137.30] I mean, even look at something like Scotchgard. +[5137.30 --> 5144.30] Okay, the number of birth defects that came about due to the manufacture of Scotchgard, about what, 50 years ago. +[5144.30 --> 5149.30] Does anyone even remember this anymore? Do you even think about it when you see a can of Scotchgard on the shelf? +[5149.30 --> 5158.30] Companies can come back and things can be completely forgotten, but this is the enthusiasts that they pissed off. +[5158.30 --> 5162.30] This isn't the general consumer who doesn't really give much thought to it. +[5162.30 --> 5170.30] This is the guys who were really excited and did research to even find out about Bitcoin and mine them in the first place that they have pissed off. +[5170.30 --> 5173.30] And I think that's pretty much game over. +[5173.30 --> 5182.30] Yeah, I think you're right, Luke. You got to change that name, especially because of your points about it being the enthusiasts. +[5182.30 --> 5187.30] It should be Arsabi or something, like really sorry about being incompetent. +[5187.30 --> 5189.30] The Gathering. +[5189.30 --> 5190.30] The Gathering. +[5190.30 --> 5191.30] Yeah, definitely. +[5191.30 --> 5193.30] Online exchange. +[5193.30 --> 5195.30] It's not enough and it's too much. +[5195.30 --> 5200.30] It's not enough of a change and it's too much of a massive theft of money, essentially. +[5200.30 --> 5201.30] Okay, so talk. +[5201.30 --> 5211.30] Who has the money, man? I want to know. I want somebody to dig in and investigate that because apparently they were using transaction malleability to steal coins for two years without anybody at Mt. Gox knowing. +[5211.30 --> 5213.30] Is that an inside job? +[5213.30 --> 5217.30] Sounds like the plot of Office Space. +[5217.30 --> 5219.30] Is that the right movie that I'm thinking of? +[5219.30 --> 5222.30] Somebody needs a stapler at the basement of Mt. Gox. +[5222.30 --> 5223.30] Yeah. +[5223.30 --> 5241.30] So, I mean, okay, tell me this. Okay, so forget about, this is something that I sort of, as someone who doesn't follow cryptocurrency, maybe as closely as I should, I look at something like Dogecoin and I go, you know what? +[5241.30 --> 5246.30] These guys might actually have the right stuff because even though it started out as a complete joke. +[5246.30 --> 5250.30] I thought you were going to say you look at Dogecoin and say amaze, but okay, go ahead. +[5250.30 --> 5251.30] Yeah. +[5251.30 --> 5252.30] So amaze. +[5252.30 --> 5253.30] Very money. +[5253.30 --> 5254.30] Much happy. +[5254.30 --> 5255.30] Okay? +[5255.30 --> 5256.30] That's what I say about it. +[5256.30 --> 5257.30] Yeah. +[5257.30 --> 5259.30] But what I, but it is, it's the much happy. +[5259.30 --> 5262.30] They're really good at PR. +[5262.30 --> 5265.30] Everything that comes out about Dogecoin is positive. +[5265.30 --> 5268.30] We're going to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the Olympics. +[5268.30 --> 5270.30] We're going to donate this to charity. +[5270.30 --> 5271.30] We're going to do this. +[5271.30 --> 5272.30] We're going to do that. +[5272.30 --> 5277.30] Whereas Bitcoin almost had, because being first can either be an advantage or a disadvantage. +[5277.30 --> 5279.30] And Bitcoin had the advantage of being first. +[5279.30 --> 5292.30] They have that, that, that Kleenex effect where normal peep newscasters on, you know, CNN or whatever are going to refer to cryptocurrency as Bitcoin until something is much bigger, probably for a long time. +[5292.30 --> 5298.30] But then they also have the disadvantage of every mistake getting hung on their necks. +[5298.30 --> 5308.30] All throughout the beginning here, all of the negative connotations of Bitcoin that are that you can use it to buy drugs and sex and hitmen is going to be hung on Bitcoin. +[5308.30 --> 5310.30] Who do you see winning this battle? +[5310.30 --> 5315.30] Is it going to be Litecoin, Purecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin, or none of the above? +[5315.30 --> 5324.30] And are these guys all just trailblazers and we should see them as what they are, a way to make a quick buck and then cash out back into good old US dollars and wait for the next thing? +[5324.30 --> 5325.30] What are you doing? +[5325.30 --> 5327.30] I would stay away from CoinYay. +[5327.30 --> 5329.30] That would be my one piece of advice. +[5329.30 --> 5330.30] Thank you. +[5330.30 --> 5331.30] Thank you. +[5331.30 --> 5332.30] I'm glad we had you on the show. +[5332.30 --> 5333.30] I'm glad we're on the show. +[5333.30 --> 5341.30] But honestly, yeah, I think the better I don't want to say the better money is on because then that's going to lead us down a whole other path. +[5341.30 --> 5343.30] But I think Bitcoin has the advantage. +[5343.30 --> 5349.30] And the fact that they're taking all of the flack is because they are this more solid system. +[5349.30 --> 5356.30] And at this point, still the more proven system, even though they're not totally proven, they've been around longer and they've been through more. +[5356.30 --> 5360.30] And I think that is their advantage is that there are all these other exchanges. +[5360.30 --> 5367.30] And you do have people setting up an exchange the day that Mt. Gox goes down saying, you know what, we still believe in this currency. +[5367.30 --> 5376.30] So in a way, I almost feel the fact that they have all this bad press is emblematic of their strength because they're able to fight through all that sort of thing. +[5376.30 --> 5380.30] If Dogecoin had a similar challenge, I don't think that they would survive. +[5380.30 --> 5384.30] I don't know if Litecoin would. Maybe it would. Maybe Dogecoin would, too. +[5384.30 --> 5395.30] I think it's I think there's a 20 percent chance maybe that one of these secondary systems comes along and finds an actual feature that is better than Bitcoin. +[5395.30 --> 5404.30] But until something like that happens, I don't think the the kind of the ebb and flow of Reddit and the Internet and opinion really matters in the long run. +[5404.30 --> 5417.30] And another thing comes in where resiliency can actually help a lot, especially when you're dealing with something like currency, where being if you see a currency that's insanely like fluctuates all the time, it's scary. +[5417.30 --> 5420.30] But then you're getting into coins. So you're expecting that at least some amount. +[5420.30 --> 5430.30] But then when you see bitcoins where it can take massive hits like this, like Tom was just saying and rebounds and still exists and climbs again, that's comforting. +[5430.30 --> 5435.30] And I could actually see people coming back to it, no matter how much I do like the charitable nature of Dogecoin. +[5435.30 --> 5440.30] And I got nothing to say bad about Dogecoin either. I think they're hilarious and fun and cool. +[5440.30 --> 5456.06] And I mean, one other possibility, too, though, is I mean, I think my my question was probably poorly worded because I was asking who was going to be the winner without, of course, presenting the possibility that we could just I mean, it could just be like world currency the way it is now. +[5456.30 --> 5459.42] Yeah, you can have 100 currencies. Yeah. +[5459.42 --> 5468.78] I think that's fair. And I think that's, you know, I know I'll revise my answer in response to say that 20 percent might end up being like a 20 percent usage. Right. +[5468.78 --> 5476.98] Market cap. Certain features that come along in these various coins along the way certainly could make them better for certain purposes. Right. +[5477.04 --> 5483.32] And so, yeah, the market cap isn't the biggest, but they get used because they're really excellent for a certain kind of transaction. +[5483.62 --> 5487.42] In much the same way that gold will still get used for things. +[5487.42 --> 5496.56] Yeah. Or or euros or goats or goats or Canadian tire bucks. +[5497.10 --> 5499.00] Canadian tire bucks. You know, those are awesome. +[5499.14 --> 5501.92] I have paid someone in Canadian tire dollars once. +[5502.02 --> 5504.02] You're not the first person I've heard say that. Yeah. +[5504.68 --> 5506.70] How did you get enough? How did I get enough? +[5506.84 --> 5513.64] Oh, my my dad is as a tool guy and he would always give me his Canadian tire money because it was it was fun. +[5513.64 --> 5520.24] And then I wanted something from a kid at school and he wanted something from Canadian tire. +[5520.36 --> 5522.86] So I got lunch. I mean, it wasn't a big deal. +[5523.06 --> 5527.74] But anything that someone will accept as as tender is cash. +[5528.00 --> 5528.56] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. +[5529.32 --> 5533.42] All right. So I think that's all I had to say on the whole Bitcoin thing. +[5533.48 --> 5535.84] You ready to move on to Samsung Galaxy S5? +[5536.12 --> 5536.98] I guess. +[5536.98 --> 5538.90] The least exciting thing ever. +[5539.70 --> 5543.40] I'm more excited about the gear fit than I am about the S5. +[5543.70 --> 5544.54] That is sad. +[5544.78 --> 5547.90] I know. And I'm not that excited about the gear fit. I think it's interesting. +[5548.12 --> 5552.26] But yeah, I feel like I know it's a tick tock situation, right? +[5552.34 --> 5557.18] Like, yeah, every other release is not going to be as crazy as the previous one. +[5557.18 --> 5565.32] But I really I'm struggling to find the big thing with the S5, which is what the the the water and dust resistance. +[5565.32 --> 5567.70] That is cool. That is a cool, cool thing. +[5568.04 --> 5573.14] It's certainly not enough to make me say and therefore I'm buying a Galaxy S5 is my next phone. +[5573.24 --> 5578.86] The problem for for me with that is that it's not breaking any new ground. +[5579.06 --> 5583.44] No, because what Samsung did in the past, I mean, take the S2. +[5583.44 --> 5589.44] It was arguably the first legitimately really good Android smartphone. +[5589.88 --> 5595.78] They brought the AMOLED screen to it, which was great for power and display and all those things. +[5595.88 --> 5600.78] It was huge at the time, like like physically the screen was very large at the time. +[5600.96 --> 5606.36] And the the industrial design compared to other Android phones at the time was was really good. +[5606.40 --> 5608.50] So it was really good in a lot of different ways. +[5608.50 --> 5616.22] Whereas the Galaxy S5 and I even say the Galaxy S4 is not better. +[5616.64 --> 5623.46] There's something that's better in every possible way, which makes it hard for it to hold the same kind of to be put on the same kind of a pedestal. +[5623.58 --> 5626.22] But I think Samsung would like us to. +[5627.04 --> 5628.44] Does that make sense? +[5628.88 --> 5629.62] Yeah, it does. +[5629.68 --> 5637.04] And I I think it's a symptom of how close to commodification smartphones have become. +[5637.04 --> 5645.14] Yeah, they're just you know, we've reached the the desktop computer phase or at least we're pretty close to reaching that phase. +[5645.36 --> 5646.72] Yeah, absolutely. +[5647.66 --> 5649.00] They have screens. +[5649.36 --> 5651.44] There's only a certain amount of sizes they can have. +[5651.46 --> 5654.40] And we've pretty much put one out in every size before they become a tablet. +[5654.40 --> 5661.32] And they have touch and they have speed, LTE speeds and the processors have maxed out. +[5661.42 --> 5664.02] I mean, you don't get much out of having a bigger processor. +[5664.18 --> 5668.60] Maybe you get a little more out of having more cores, but there's really not that much more you can do with them. +[5668.84 --> 5670.54] I'm not saying that that's the end of smartphones. +[5671.02 --> 5675.62] There's going to be somebody come up with some software development and maybe even a couple of hardware tweaks here and there. +[5675.62 --> 5682.58] But it's more what you can do with other things with smartphones that seems to be where the more interesting avenues lie. +[5682.80 --> 5686.18] I don't think anybody's come up with something terribly compelling there. +[5686.26 --> 5693.16] But that's why I'm more interested in the gear fit, because I don't want to hold the Galaxy S5 with the heart rate sensor while I'm jogging. +[5693.16 --> 5697.04] But having the fit with its heart rate sensor attached, that makes sense. +[5697.14 --> 5703.26] And then it can log in, save things back to the phone later because it's got a little bit of storage that could keep stuff. +[5703.40 --> 5705.04] I think that makes more sense. +[5706.06 --> 5709.92] The S5 is just starting to look like a phone and a nice phone. +[5710.04 --> 5711.76] I'm not I'm not dinging it. +[5711.82 --> 5718.52] It's just if I was expecting to be wowed and amazed, maybe we just got to get used to the fact that, you know what, we're not going to get wowed and amazed anymore. +[5718.84 --> 5721.64] There's going to be little features like this and that, and that's fine. +[5721.64 --> 5729.22] And I mean, I think that's, that's something the manufacturers are trying to fight against. +[5729.52 --> 5736.08] But it's funny that you bring up the PC because they're doing it in exactly the same way they tried to do it on the PC. +[5736.46 --> 5741.64] They're giving us more stuff that doesn't really matter and then expecting us to drool over it. +[5741.68 --> 5748.54] I mean, they want us to get excited about more megapixels on the camera, just like they wanted us to get excited about more RAM on the PC. +[5748.54 --> 5755.04] When truthfully for 99% of people, anything beyond eight gigs is, and even four is probably unnecessary. +[5755.84 --> 5761.78] They want us to get excited about, you know, a 4K screen or a 2560 screen. +[5761.94 --> 5766.10] Whereas, I mean, I don't know about you, Tom, but I have decent eyes up close. +[5766.10 --> 5768.78] I can see about as well as anyone with normal vision. +[5769.02 --> 5773.12] And I can't really tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a smartphone. +[5773.84 --> 5773.94] Yeah. +[5774.06 --> 5776.14] I know people who claim they can. +[5776.54 --> 5781.92] And there's people who say, you know, there's certain applications that will benefit in zooming and this and that. +[5782.28 --> 5784.10] But those are really edge cases. +[5784.36 --> 5788.10] And I'm not saying they're bad, but they're not the thing that everybody's going to go, ooh, retina screen. +[5788.30 --> 5788.98] That's amazing. +[5788.98 --> 5790.66] Like, we're kind of past that. +[5791.20 --> 5794.44] Capturing in 4K, I think that's a legitimate feature. +[5794.66 --> 5794.82] Yeah. +[5794.86 --> 5798.92] Because that's something that you can later put on a 4K television and make a difference. +[5799.12 --> 5803.74] But even then, some people argue that, well, 4K isn't, you know, at a certain distance. +[5803.88 --> 5804.88] You can't tell that either. +[5805.04 --> 5806.02] So, I don't know. +[5806.24 --> 5808.46] It reminds me, I was looking this up, actually. +[5808.54 --> 5812.64] It reminds me of the Nuon processor that was put into my DVD player. +[5812.72 --> 5814.32] I can't remember which one I had anymore. +[5814.40 --> 5815.34] I think it was a Toshiba. +[5815.56 --> 5816.32] I remember that thing. +[5816.32 --> 5820.44] It was a way to, like, DVD players had pretty much reached, like, this is what you do. +[5820.48 --> 5821.76] You put in a DVD and you watch it. +[5821.82 --> 5826.16] And the Nuon was like, and now you can play games, except you don't want to play games. +[5826.16 --> 5827.08] And it's a stupid thing. +[5827.10 --> 5827.50] And it's horrible. +[5827.62 --> 5828.66] And it was just glommed on. +[5828.78 --> 5831.06] Those kind of features we're starting to see in phones now. +[5831.34 --> 5837.50] We've actually talked about this a lot on the show, the whole slowdown of massive stages of progression with smartphone. +[5837.72 --> 5837.90] Yeah. +[5838.02 --> 5842.84] And something that we've actually, we're reviewing phones, but, like, not all of them. +[5842.84 --> 5844.20] And a lot of the reviews are really late. +[5844.20 --> 5847.50] And, like, we're not really super well known for reviewing phones. +[5847.70 --> 5851.20] But one thing we're trying to do is be well known for reviewing wearables. +[5852.16 --> 5852.36] Yeah. +[5852.56 --> 5859.16] Because if you track phones, it bursted really quickly and then is kind of teetering off now. +[5859.28 --> 5861.00] But wearables are becoming huge. +[5861.08 --> 5873.04] And just like you were talking about, Tom, with the heart rate sensor on the gear fit, stuff like that, moving away from the phone, moving these features away from the phone, but maybe having it be able to link back or something like that might be a really big deal. +[5873.04 --> 5879.74] And, I mean, I think Apple has demonstrated already that they don't think more processing power is really that important. +[5879.84 --> 5886.56] By putting the same class of processor in their iPhone and their iPad, that's, I guess, the point I was trying to make. +[5886.60 --> 5888.96] They've basically said the iPad doesn't need to be faster. +[5888.96 --> 5893.36] Because we could just as easily put something that's a little bit more power hungry in here. +[5893.52 --> 5895.76] We could have kept the older, thicker form factor. +[5895.86 --> 5900.08] But instead, we decided, you know what, this is actually really enough for now. +[5900.26 --> 5903.12] We're just going to make it thinner because we can't come up with anything else to do. +[5903.20 --> 5904.88] We'll go with something that sips power. +[5906.04 --> 5906.06] Yeah. +[5906.18 --> 5907.26] And battery life, right? +[5907.40 --> 5909.50] Battery life is a big concern. +[5909.66 --> 5913.40] And if somebody could come up with a phone, they're like, this phone will last a week without charging. +[5913.56 --> 5915.12] Suddenly, everyone's going to go buy that. +[5915.12 --> 5915.52] Yeah. +[5916.30 --> 5916.70] Absolutely. +[5918.14 --> 5919.88] And, I mean, there are solutions. +[5920.08 --> 5922.50] I mean, to me, wireless charging is awesome. +[5922.94 --> 5924.32] I mean, that's a fantastic feature. +[5924.42 --> 5928.30] I look at the way one of my employees in particular is kind of hilarious. +[5928.48 --> 5930.60] I look at the way he uses his phone. +[5930.98 --> 5934.54] He has a wireless charger on his desk where he edits. +[5934.86 --> 5939.84] He has a wireless charging pad downstairs where he shoots B-roll of our products. +[5939.84 --> 5941.50] And then he has a wireless charger at home. +[5941.74 --> 5945.86] So his phone actually basically lives on a wireless charger throughout his daily life. +[5945.90 --> 5952.80] And it only has to, the battery is more like, it's more like a UPS for when he moves away from his charger. +[5953.34 --> 5953.42] Right. +[5953.42 --> 5955.72] And that is one solution. +[5955.98 --> 5976.50] But to me, yes, the slightly thicker phone, and I don't think phone blocks is the answer, but the slightly thicker phone that actually comes with a big battery is going to be the one that kind of everyone looks at and goes, which whoever, whichever company ends up being, whether it's HTC or LG or someone, the enthusiast community is going to look at them and go, wow, that thing's kind of blocky. +[5976.50 --> 5980.60] But I'm going to buy it because this is what we've been asking you guys for for so long. +[5980.64 --> 5985.62] And we don't want cheesy battery cases that go on top of our devices. +[5985.94 --> 5990.64] Motorola Max was really much more popular than the other Motorola phones. +[5990.72 --> 5994.00] Problem was it was still a Motorola phone, so it didn't catch on as much. +[5994.12 --> 5997.26] But yeah, packing a little extra battery life is a huge deal. +[5997.26 --> 6002.80] I'm thinking more about somebody who comes up with a battery technology where they say, hey, guess what? +[6002.84 --> 6008.24] It's still thin, but this battery lasts a long time because we did graphene craziness or whatever. +[6008.50 --> 6010.54] You know, I want to see that. +[6010.74 --> 6016.44] I think to get to the level he was also talking about where it lasts for a week, you kind of need to do that because you can get these extended bulky battery packs. +[6016.48 --> 6018.24] It's usually like one more day. +[6018.38 --> 6018.94] And they'll be heavy. +[6019.38 --> 6019.60] Yeah. +[6021.08 --> 6025.02] So basically what you're trying to say is that Galaxy S5, you're not going to be running. +[6025.10 --> 6025.90] What phone do you use? +[6025.90 --> 6026.40] I'm curious. +[6026.40 --> 6028.82] I have an iPhone 5 right now. +[6028.82 --> 6028.96] iPhone 5. +[6029.06 --> 6029.24] Okay. +[6029.68 --> 6031.40] Because I just don't care anymore. +[6032.14 --> 6035.92] I have all my services, you know, are not Apple related. +[6036.14 --> 6037.62] And this was the last phone I bought. +[6037.76 --> 6040.14] And I haven't felt a need to upgrade it. +[6040.84 --> 6046.58] You know what's really funny is I actually, so there's a reason for this. +[6046.62 --> 6049.76] But my SIM is actually in my iPhone 4 right now. +[6050.02 --> 6050.36] Oh, yeah? +[6050.36 --> 6056.86] And it's been in there for a few days because I grabbed a Moto X from the office. +[6057.04 --> 6058.86] I was done doing my Moto G review. +[6059.30 --> 6064.38] And the Moto G, as great as it is, I have an 8 gig one, which isn't even big enough for my music library. +[6064.56 --> 6065.48] So I had to get off it. +[6065.48 --> 6069.80] So I popped my SIM out of that and I was like, okay, I'm going to throw this. +[6069.90 --> 6070.22] You know what? +[6070.22 --> 6071.46] I'm going to go to the Moto X. +[6071.64 --> 6075.76] And I had forgotten that the Moto X uses nano SIM instead of micro SIM. +[6075.86 --> 6078.80] So I got home and went to pop it into the phone. +[6078.86 --> 6079.72] And I went, oh, crap. +[6079.72 --> 6084.30] So the only other phone I had was my iPhone, which I use as an MP3 player. +[6084.96 --> 6086.82] And that's all I really do on it. +[6087.40 --> 6099.12] And it's been three days and I haven't actually managed to switch off of it yet because I'm too lazy to go find a SIM removal tool and put my SIM back in my one because I just don't care. +[6099.12 --> 6104.88] And for those of you that are wondering, yes, it's smaller and yes, he could cut it, but he's worried about cutting it because of going upwards in compatibility. +[6104.88 --> 6105.90] Yeah, I do phone reviews. +[6106.30 --> 6121.44] So it's like real inconvenient if I can't use my SIM because I believe the way you should do phone reviews is you should actually switch to the device rather than the way that I see a lot of people do phone reviews where they like, you know, go through what I would call a synthetic test where they kind of do what they would do. +[6121.66 --> 6122.86] I think you should use it. +[6123.14 --> 6124.34] So I have to have my SIM. +[6124.34 --> 6125.22] Do some road testing. +[6125.34 --> 6125.66] I agree. +[6126.02 --> 6126.58] Road testing. +[6127.00 --> 6129.06] So I'm 100% with you. +[6129.36 --> 6131.54] iOS, Android actually doesn't matter much to me. +[6131.60 --> 6134.06] There are things I miss about Android on iOS. +[6134.06 --> 6139.86] I mean, even just things like not being able to customize whatever Apple calls that little thing you slide up from the bottom. +[6140.00 --> 6141.48] The fact that I can't change that stuff. +[6142.48 --> 6143.44] And I like widgets. +[6143.56 --> 6149.16] I have a Nexus 7 that I use and the power you get over it is great. +[6149.32 --> 6157.92] I think one of the problems with iOS is that that customization is starting to mean fewer encryption options. +[6158.14 --> 6161.20] You're starting to see some really good encryption apps for Android. +[6161.20 --> 6164.92] And that might be enough to tip me back to saying, OK, I actually do care again. +[6165.62 --> 6165.94] Right. +[6166.90 --> 6167.64] That's a good point. +[6167.74 --> 6168.76] My brother did something. +[6168.84 --> 6177.24] Talking about widgets with Nexus 7, my brother installed the Nexus 7, well, paid someone to install the Nexus 7 in his truck because it didn't have tablet support or anything like that. +[6177.28 --> 6180.62] And got it hooked up with, I think it's called Microsoft Sync. +[6181.30 --> 6182.16] Pretty sure that's what it's called. +[6182.16 --> 6183.08] Oh, in the car? +[6183.18 --> 6184.28] Yeah, I think you're right. +[6184.40 --> 6184.76] Yeah, in his truck. +[6184.90 --> 6186.44] And it's absolutely fantastic. +[6186.58 --> 6193.64] And he has a widget set up that actually interacts with the car and tells them what's going on with different gauges and what's playing and all this kind of stuff. +[6193.70 --> 6194.48] It's very cool. +[6194.80 --> 6201.78] Well, there's a similar thing called Automatic that you can get that plugs into the ODB port on any car. +[6201.92 --> 6202.08] Yeah. +[6202.08 --> 6204.22] And you can use it on Android and iOS. +[6204.60 --> 6206.48] Is that what he's using or is it something else? +[6206.84 --> 6208.86] He's going directly through Microsoft Sync. +[6209.02 --> 6209.26] OK. +[6209.40 --> 6214.70] Although I think, now that you bring up the automatic thing, I think he might be usually using that for the gauges. +[6214.96 --> 6215.28] OK. +[6215.56 --> 6215.68] Yeah. +[6215.70 --> 6218.02] He's getting direct information from his engine. +[6218.18 --> 6219.82] So that might actually be how he's doing that. +[6220.44 --> 6222.36] I haven't been too in on that project. +[6222.48 --> 6223.58] That's been a lot of just him. +[6223.70 --> 6224.76] It's just really cool. +[6225.32 --> 6225.50] Cool. +[6226.26 --> 6228.48] So, Tom, I'm not going to keep you much longer here. +[6228.48 --> 6231.02] I think we've gone over the half an hour that I promised already. +[6231.02 --> 6236.08] But this is something that we talked about earlier on the show and we talked about last week. +[6236.14 --> 6237.86] And I'm sorry to bore the audience with it. +[6237.92 --> 6239.46] But just tell me your opinion on this. +[6239.76 --> 6241.34] You've been in the industry a long time. +[6242.38 --> 6249.98] Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp was predicated on paying for like kind of a price per user of a social network. +[6250.20 --> 6251.82] That was the rationale, correct? +[6252.66 --> 6253.70] I've heard that. +[6253.82 --> 6256.04] I haven't heard Zuckerberg say that particularly. +[6256.04 --> 6263.86] But he did say that he would have paid more for WhatsApp if he needed to because it's the future. +[6264.02 --> 6266.60] He made some rather vague hand-waving statements. +[6267.00 --> 6273.34] But yeah, it seems like they're getting a lot and the audience seems to be the most valuable thing people can latch their eyes onto. +[6273.34 --> 6280.10] So my problem with that is I would make the argument WhatsApp is not a social network and is just a commodity. +[6280.60 --> 6286.76] Just in the same way that ICQ or MSN or any other one of those services that have come and gone over the years is. +[6287.26 --> 6289.24] Would you agree with that statement or would you not? +[6289.32 --> 6290.58] I just I want to hear what you have to say. +[6290.58 --> 6291.86] It gets into semantics, right? +[6291.96 --> 6299.34] I mean, a social network, the way we think about a social network is a Facebook or maybe in the olden days a MySpace. +[6299.34 --> 6303.88] But a Twitter, something where you follow people, people follow you and you exchange information. +[6304.32 --> 6316.58] What I think is happening is a lot of people are not using Facebook and they're moving on to these messaging apps like Line and Kakao Talk and WeChat and WhatsApp. +[6316.58 --> 6320.16] And using them in place of social networks. +[6320.22 --> 6327.52] So they're using them for some of the same things, keeping in touch, telling people things, exchanging stickers and all these other things that they do. +[6327.86 --> 6330.24] Google Hangouts for iOS just came out today with stickers. +[6330.42 --> 6331.60] That's the big trend. +[6331.68 --> 6332.40] That's the hotness. +[6333.00 --> 6341.42] So I think a lot of analysts don't know what to make because if they say messaging apps, it leaves out all of these other things that these apps are doing. +[6341.52 --> 6344.04] There's a whole games aspect of them. +[6344.04 --> 6351.06] But if they say social networking, then it sort of lumps them in and it feels like, OK, they're sort of on the continuum. +[6351.24 --> 6354.26] But I agree with you that they are not the same thing as a Facebook. +[6354.50 --> 6358.24] They are similar to Twitter, but it's a different spin on it. +[6359.36 --> 6368.32] Messaging apps are definitely where the audience that used to be enamored with Facebook and Friendster and MySpace have now migrated to. +[6368.32 --> 6374.58] How the hell do you monetize it, though, when people can switch like that? +[6374.78 --> 6378.74] Yeah, well, you keep them in by giving them all these features. +[6379.18 --> 6385.02] One way to monetize them is get them addicted to games, which is one of the ways Kakao is doing it. +[6385.10 --> 6386.04] And that's working for them. +[6386.08 --> 6386.86] They're making tons of money. +[6386.98 --> 6388.38] Line's doing the same thing, I think. +[6388.98 --> 6391.06] WhatsApp's got a really interesting way of saying, you know what? +[6391.10 --> 6392.62] We just we make it really simple. +[6392.66 --> 6393.50] We make it easy to use. +[6393.54 --> 6394.54] So you won't want to leave. +[6394.54 --> 6397.94] Once all your friends are there, that's always the thing that walks you in anyway. +[6398.52 --> 6407.90] So and they are like, we'll just make it charge you a dollar a year and you won't even care because it's a dollar and you're getting a lot of value out of it because it's the way you keep in touch with your friends. +[6408.26 --> 6410.72] To me, it's a harder thing to get them into a messaging app. +[6410.72 --> 6423.02] Like we were talking today about TechSecure, which is one of these apps that's really taking advantage of the post Snowden mindset to say, let's come up with a really honestly good encrypted way to communicate with each other. +[6423.02 --> 6426.56] And it's got some take up among that crowd. +[6426.56 --> 6429.48] But how does that how does it ever grow outside of that? +[6429.72 --> 6430.72] Goes back to what you were talking about. +[6430.76 --> 6432.22] People not really caring about security. +[6432.22 --> 6433.74] They're like, well, but I'm on WhatsApp. +[6433.74 --> 6435.52] So I'm just going to keep talking on WhatsApp. +[6435.66 --> 6436.58] I don't care about security. +[6436.58 --> 6437.72] My mom's on WhatsApp. +[6437.90 --> 6443.96] How am I going to convince my mom to install, you know, block message secure and crypto? +[6444.30 --> 6445.40] What's wrong with WhatsApp, Jimmy? +[6445.72 --> 6447.32] Why do I have to install Telegram? +[6447.44 --> 6450.80] My mom just installed Skype and she like added me. +[6450.86 --> 6452.44] She's like, oh, have you used this before? +[6452.44 --> 6453.80] And I'm like, oh, mom. +[6454.68 --> 6456.38] Like this happened two nights ago. +[6456.52 --> 6458.06] Let me show you the scars, mom. +[6462.60 --> 6464.44] Back in the early days with IP problems. +[6465.20 --> 6465.66] All right. +[6465.66 --> 6470.38] So I think that's we're actually over the time our show is supposed to end. +[6470.50 --> 6472.40] So, Tom, thank you so much for joining us. +[6472.48 --> 6478.14] I would like you to take a couple minutes and like pimp your shows, help our viewers know where to find you. +[6478.20 --> 6481.42] We've got about 30, 3,700 people on right now. +[6481.42 --> 6486.52] So if you guys enjoyed Tom, make sure that you listen real carefully right now because he's going to tell you where he's at. +[6487.24 --> 6487.34] Yeah. +[6487.38 --> 6492.50] I think probably if people are enjoying your guys' conversation, they might enjoy Daily Tech News Show as well. +[6492.90 --> 6495.58] It's DailyTechNewsShow.com. +[6495.58 --> 6497.04] It's an audio podcast. +[6497.36 --> 6498.82] You can subscribe at the website. +[6499.04 --> 6501.40] You can search for it in your favorite podcatcher. +[6501.96 --> 6504.36] And it's listed in almost all of them at this point. +[6504.44 --> 6506.98] But if you can't find it, go to DailyTechNewsShow.com. +[6507.02 --> 6508.32] You can subscribe directly there. +[6508.40 --> 6509.22] It's user supported. +[6509.34 -->

6519.00] There's an unofficial video feed that the fans have put together. +[6519.40 --> 6524.98] And because I do it on a Google Hangout, I actually have a YouTube video that's just created automatically. +[6525.18 --> 6526.70] So that's there as well. +[6526.84 --> 6529.94] And I hope people take a look. +[6530.10 --> 6530.52] Check it out. +[6530.68 --> 6531.50] See if they like it. +[6531.74 --> 6533.20] Then subscribe if you do. +[6533.58 --> 6536.56] And anything else that I'm doing is available at TomMerritt.com. +[6536.68 --> 6537.10] Awesome. +[6537.58 --> 6538.64] M-E-R-R-I-T-T. +[6539.04 --> 6542.70] I'm already seeing messages in our chat saying Tom's awesome. +[6542.98 --> 6543.44] Oh, thanks. +[6543.82 --> 6546.04] He has the more mature tech show. +[6546.20 --> 6547.28] Yes, you guys are right. +[6547.44 --> 6548.74] Tom has the more mature tech show. +[6548.74 --> 6550.20] It's a nice way of saying old. +[6552.58 --> 6558.86] Well, there's – anyway, people are saying that – why are you going to be like that? +[6558.86 --> 6559.14] Geez. +[6559.58 --> 6561.10] People are saying he was a great guest. +[6561.16 --> 6561.90] We'd love to see him back. +[6561.98 --> 6564.02] So I think that the audience says it best. +[6564.14 --> 6567.10] If I say that you were a great guest, I have to say that because it's polite. +[6567.10 --> 6568.56] But they don't have to say it. +[6568.66 --> 6569.52] So thank you, Tom. +[6569.58 --> 6571.38] You were apparently a great guest. +[6571.46 --> 6572.86] And we'd love to have you on again sometime. +[6572.94 --> 6573.56] Oh, thanks, man. +[6573.86 --> 6575.06] I'd absolutely love to. +[6575.16 --> 6576.30] I'd really enjoy talking to you guys. +[6576.34 --> 6577.22] You know what you're talking about. +[6577.24 --> 6577.60] It's fun. +[6577.90 --> 6578.28] Thank you. +[6578.46 --> 6579.16] Thank you very much. +[6579.24 --> 6579.50] Take care. +[6579.80 --> 6580.02] All right. +[6580.04 --> 6580.20] Cheers. +[6581.88 --> 6582.56] All right. +[6582.66 --> 6586.24] So, guys, that was Tom Merritt. +[6586.94 --> 6587.98] The Tom Merritt. +[6588.10 --> 6590.26] Not Tom Merritt of Twit TV anymore. +[6590.46 --> 6595.72] And speaking of his show being entirely user-backed, ours is not. +[6595.72 --> 6598.68] So let's go ahead and do our sponsor spots here. +[6598.80 --> 6604.50] So, guys, visit squarespace.com slash Linus to get a free trial of their website building +[6604.50 --> 6605.06] software. +[6605.58 --> 6610.08] And I say software kind of lightly because it's more like, you know, cloud-based interface. +[6610.34 --> 6611.96] All the software runs on their side. +[6612.26 --> 6614.88] And all the website hosting runs on their side as well. +[6614.96 --> 6616.36] So that gives you a couple of advantages. +[6616.52 --> 6619.32] Number one is you can access whatever you're doing from anywhere. +[6619.64 --> 6623.22] Number two is anything that you change is done on the fly. +[6623.22 --> 6628.52] And number three is that it is scalable beyond the wildest dreams of someone who's running +[6628.52 --> 6632.50] a WordPress site on a server sitting in the corner of a room at their former employer. +[6633.82 --> 6634.58] Rock on. +[6634.76 --> 6635.96] Because that's what we used to do. +[6636.42 --> 6638.82] So Squarespace has many templates. +[6639.00 --> 6642.14] I think they've got over 20 templates now that allow you to build your own website, whether +[6642.14 --> 6648.10] it's a blog or a store or a, I don't know, a portfolio or just any website you would want. +[6648.18 --> 6653.10] I mean, the store part is actually really interesting because they added full-fledged, you know, e-commerce +[6653.10 --> 6654.94] support and actually not that long ago. +[6655.10 --> 6656.36] They've got a logo designer. +[6656.52 --> 6658.44] And this is all extremely good stuff. +[6658.56 --> 6661.52] More importantly than anything else, it's really easy to use. +[6661.52 --> 6663.68] So you can go ahead and you can try it out for free. +[6663.76 --> 6664.74] I believe it's for two weeks. +[6664.84 --> 6668.50] And then if you like it, then you get 10% off by using offer code Linus2. +[6668.62 --> 6671.58] Or I think we're actually switching to Linus in the future anyway. +[6671.68 --> 6676.42] So if you put Linus with a number after it or just Linus in the offer code, then you will +[6676.42 --> 6681.12] get 10% off, which is pretty darn sweet right there. +[6681.96 --> 6684.16] Oh, last thing that I should probably mention. +[6684.54 --> 6685.66] This is something cool. +[6685.66 --> 6690.36] So I think up until the 14th of March, if you want the opportunity to work for Squarespace, +[6690.58 --> 6692.10] they're hiring 30 engineers. +[6692.36 --> 6696.54] If you go to beapartofit.squarespace.com, then you can go check that out. +[6696.62 --> 6700.72] And if any of you get hired, I believe I get a trip to New York. +[6701.90 --> 6703.64] So do it under my thing. +[6704.42 --> 6705.42] I don't have a thing. +[6705.56 --> 6706.28] Try to do it under. +[6706.56 --> 6707.78] Create one for me. +[6707.94 --> 6708.12] Yeah. +[6708.52 --> 6708.92] Apply. +[6709.14 --> 6709.82] Get the job. +[6709.86 --> 6710.74] And then give me the trip. +[6710.90 --> 6711.10] Yeah. +[6711.18 --> 6714.64] So anyway, that's Squarespace in a nutshell. +[6714.64 --> 6716.18] I think I pretty much covered it, right? +[6716.46 --> 6716.66] Yeah. +[6717.02 --> 6717.26] Yeah. +[6717.42 --> 6717.66] Okay. +[6717.84 --> 6721.32] So then our other sponsor, this is something new, you guys. +[6722.06 --> 6723.80] Intel Club Enthusiast. +[6724.30 --> 6725.80] What's Intel Club Enthusiast? +[6726.04 --> 6727.32] Well, I just said it was new. +[6727.50 --> 6729.68] So you're not expected to know what it is. +[6730.14 --> 6735.18] Intel Club Enthusiast is a club for enthusiasts run by Intel. +[6735.30 --> 6735.96] End of integration. +[6736.16 --> 6736.78] Okay, let's move on. +[6737.44 --> 6738.08] No, I'm just kidding. +[6738.60 --> 6739.20] I was like, what? +[6739.20 --> 6749.08] If you own a Core i5 or Core i7 processor that is unlocked, so a K-series or X-series, you +[6749.08 --> 6756.42] can head over and register at enthusiast.intel.com and then you can register your product and +[6756.42 --> 6758.92] you are eligible for exclusive offers. +[6758.92 --> 6762.32] So it's only just launched. +[6762.56 --> 6764.38] Like this went live like two days ago. +[6764.58 --> 6766.80] So there's a lot of plans for the future. +[6767.00 --> 6774.26] But Intel has, you know, they're going to have offers like, oh, you could get an upgrade, +[6774.92 --> 6777.10] you know, on the cheap from participating retailers. +[6777.40 --> 6782.16] They're going to have offers like potentially in the future events that you could attend. +[6782.16 --> 6786.46] And there's going to be perks that are just there just for being part of Club Enthusiast. +[6786.52 --> 6790.86] So you don't have to do anything special other than already own Core i5 or Core i7 unlocked +[6790.86 --> 6791.48] processor. +[6791.98 --> 6795.08] So I can't really give much more detail than that. +[6795.14 --> 6796.52] You guys are going to have to go check it out. +[6796.62 --> 6799.86] So that's again, enthusiast.intel.com. +[6800.10 --> 6800.86] You ready to fight? +[6801.02 --> 6801.66] It's for enthusiasts. +[6801.98 --> 6803.30] Oh, I am ready to fight. +[6803.38 --> 6804.54] What are we going to fight about again? +[6804.78 --> 6805.64] Well, we're not fighting. +[6806.02 --> 6806.80] Oh, we're not fighting. +[6806.80 --> 6809.02] Well, we're fighting, but we're kind of on the same side. +[6809.20 --> 6809.96] Oh, okay, cool. +[6810.14 --> 6810.30] Yeah. +[6810.36 --> 6811.34] So we're going to crusade. +[6811.34 --> 6811.74] Yeah. +[6812.80 --> 6813.12] Okay. +[6813.70 --> 6815.18] Oh, is it going to be that? +[6815.40 --> 6816.50] Well, it probably should be. +[6816.72 --> 6817.38] Oh, my goodness. +[6817.52 --> 6822.18] We are completely out of time and we still have like six really good topics. +[6822.36 --> 6823.46] We have to do that one. +[6823.74 --> 6824.14] Wow. +[6824.40 --> 6824.76] Okay. +[6825.04 --> 6826.46] Because that one's in the topic call out. +[6826.92 --> 6827.28] Okay. +[6827.36 --> 6830.28] Well, here, why don't we skim through a couple other ones just so that we can't bail? +[6830.50 --> 6830.74] Okay. +[6831.42 --> 6832.40] Oh, man. +[6832.76 --> 6835.56] Update your Mac now if you can. +[6836.10 --> 6841.34] There's a security vulnerability that is in older, non-updated versions of not only OS +[6841.34 --> 6845.48] 10, but also iOS that basically. +[6845.90 --> 6846.14] Okay. +[6846.22 --> 6847.30] And it's iOS 6. +[6847.78 --> 6848.42] And get this. +[6848.42 --> 6854.30] If you have a device that is capable of upgrading to iOS 7, like this one, even though iOS 7 runs +[6854.30 --> 6858.66] like crap on the iPhone 4, you are not getting an iOS 6 security patch. +[6858.66 --> 6862.66] If you have a device that only runs iOS 6, then you get a patch. +[6862.92 --> 6864.04] Come on, guys. +[6864.38 --> 6866.68] Anyway, upgrade your Apple product. +[6866.94 --> 6873.44] There is a programming bug that caused Apple's SSL code to skip over vital checks of a server's +[6873.44 --> 6875.38] authenticity when establishing a connection. +[6875.38 --> 6881.64] So an SSL secured connection is used for things like exchanging credit card information, personal +[6881.64 --> 6882.40] information. +[6883.00 --> 6885.02] Logging into our forum or buying stuff from our store. +[6885.10 --> 6886.32] Logging into our forum. +[6887.82 --> 6891.00] This is just a total freaking disaster. +[6891.36 --> 6898.58] A malicious router or Wi-Fi access point could intercept all kinds of what would be SSL encrypted +[6898.58 --> 6900.98] traffic from the machine that you're using. +[6900.98 --> 6906.56] So particularly on a machine you're going to use in an unfamiliar place or just in general, +[6906.72 --> 6909.12] please update your software right away. +[6909.88 --> 6915.42] Speaking of Apple and things that were rumored not that long ago, you know, an Apple-Tesla +[6915.42 --> 6917.42] joint venture for batteries. +[6917.66 --> 6922.48] Tesla has announced plans to build the battery producing Gigafactory. +[6922.86 --> 6926.26] Or as we'll call it, Gigafactory from now until forever. +[6926.26 --> 6931.26] So this was originally posted on the Linus Tech Tips forum by NoName7931. +[6931.96 --> 6934.20] The original article is from The Verge. +[6934.76 --> 6936.02] Please go away on screen keyboard. +[6936.56 --> 6945.28] But the objective is to have this factory producing, this factory producing as many batteries as the +[6945.28 --> 6947.26] entire world is producing now. +[6948.72 --> 6949.32] Boom. +[6949.60 --> 6950.16] By 2017. +[6950.44 --> 6951.04] By 2017. +[6951.28 --> 6952.98] Which is like not far away. +[6953.02 --> 6953.24] Yeah. +[6953.24 --> 6955.44] So that's like three years and change. +[6956.26 --> 6957.30] Incredible. +[6957.54 --> 6958.58] Pretty epic actually. +[6958.72 --> 6961.86] Should be good for, you know, battery powered cars. +[6961.98 --> 6964.36] Which of course Tesla has no interest in. +[6964.48 --> 6964.76] None. +[6964.94 --> 6966.10] Having more batteries for. +[6966.18 --> 6966.38] Nope. +[6966.58 --> 6970.98] So they'll be partnering with other battery manufacturing folks to reduce costs after, +[6971.08 --> 6971.22] yeah. +[6971.28 --> 6977.54] So after one year of production, Tesla predicts the battery cost will drop by 30% per kilowatt hour. +[6977.54 --> 6980.72] And they want it to be an extremely green factory. +[6980.72 --> 6986.54] So solar power, essentially zero emissions, no toxic elements are going to come out and +[6986.54 --> 6990.24] recycling capability will be built into it, says Elon Musk. +[6990.52 --> 6995.72] And if there's any sort of CEO visionary that we're going to trust, which is in line with +[6995.72 --> 6998.92] what we were talking about earlier in the show, he's probably one of them. +[6998.92 --> 7001.86] In terms of doing what he's saying he's going to do. +[7001.86 --> 7002.00] Yeah. +[7002.22 --> 7004.38] Doing what he says he's going to do and generally being trustworthy. +[7004.70 --> 7004.84] Yeah. +[7005.58 --> 7006.16] All right. +[7007.84 --> 7010.40] LG named the most innovative company of 2014. +[7010.96 --> 7011.22] Cool. +[7011.72 --> 7012.96] I want to quickly do this one. +[7013.02 --> 7013.98] It won't take that long at all. +[7014.44 --> 7018.90] CCP, the developers of EVE Online, are going to be constructing a monument in Reykjavik, Iceland. +[7019.24 --> 7023.44] It's going to have the names of all the main characters that are subscribed right now, +[7023.46 --> 7024.24] as far as I can tell. +[7024.24 --> 7028.76] It is a gift to Reykjavik because they have hosted CCP for 16 years or whatever. +[7029.98 --> 7031.42] It's actually kind of awesome. +[7031.52 --> 7035.42] They're going to have a laptop buried under the monument acting as a time capsule, which +[7035.42 --> 7036.28] is also really cool. +[7036.46 --> 7038.00] And then that's literally all I have to say about that. +[7038.22 --> 7039.88] That's what the monument is supposed to look like. +[7039.94 --> 7041.96] Here's some concept art of what it's going to look like. +[7042.16 --> 7043.18] Very futuristic looking. +[7043.38 --> 7043.66] Go figure. +[7044.24 --> 7044.40] Yeah. +[7044.84 --> 7046.96] Makes no sense for it to be futuristic looking. +[7047.72 --> 7048.86] It's kind of cool and it's cool. +[7048.98 --> 7049.62] Shout out to the players. +[7049.74 --> 7050.44] I think it's pretty awesome. +[7050.62 --> 7051.54] No, I think it's fantastic. +[7051.80 --> 7051.98] Yeah. +[7051.98 --> 7058.02] I'm resubbed so that my name will be on it because I played for a long time. +[7058.02 --> 7058.26] Seriously? +[7058.26 --> 7059.62] So I was like, I want my name to be on the thing. +[7059.70 --> 7061.56] You resubbed just to get your name on the thing? +[7061.60 --> 7062.46] Well, I'm playing again. +[7062.50 --> 7062.74] Okay. +[7062.84 --> 7063.74] Guys, tell me this. +[7064.22 --> 7066.66] Would you subscribe on the Linus Tech Tips forum? +[7067.10 --> 7067.50] Hold on. +[7067.50 --> 7068.38] Hold on. +[7068.64 --> 7069.00] Hold on. +[7069.00 --> 7069.06] Hold on. +[7069.40 --> 7078.38] If we built a statue of Gabe N at our headquarters and put your name on it, I actually priced +[7078.38 --> 7078.76] it out. +[7078.76 --> 7085.98] It would cost us about $30,000 to $40,000 to build a bronze life-size statue of Gabe N. +[7087.10 --> 7089.74] You think if we did that, he'd come chill for a little while? +[7089.92 --> 7090.38] I doubt it. +[7090.56 --> 7091.60] Imagine he'd come on the wine show. +[7091.66 --> 7093.42] He'd probably be creeped out as all hell. +[7093.56 --> 7093.76] Yep. +[7094.18 --> 7094.44] Yeah. +[7094.68 --> 7095.54] I don't think he would do it. +[7095.68 --> 7097.34] If I was him, I wouldn't do it. +[7097.54 --> 7104.04] But would you guys contribute if we told you we had to raise $40,000 to build a bronze Gabe N? +[7104.04 --> 7108.52] We should do a Kickstarter, so if we don't hit the limit, then we don't do it, and everyone +[7108.52 --> 7109.28] gets their money back. +[7109.60 --> 7110.34] Should we just do it? +[7110.54 --> 7111.46] We should probably just do it. +[7112.30 --> 7113.10] It'd be epic. +[7115.34 --> 7115.70] Okay. +[7115.90 --> 7117.08] I'm not committing now? +[7117.44 --> 7124.24] We can use him as a mannequin for cool tech that comes out. +[7124.54 --> 7127.26] So when another Oculus comes out, we could put it on him. +[7127.58 --> 7129.76] Well, we won't be able to put much on him in terms of wearables. +[7131.44 --> 7132.46] I love you, Gabe N. +[7132.68 --> 7133.68] I knew you were going there. +[7134.80 --> 7135.70] That was perfect. +[7135.88 --> 7136.12] Okay. +[7137.12 --> 7138.16] Anyways, we don't have much time. +[7138.24 --> 7139.36] We should keep going through this show. +[7139.36 --> 7139.54] Yeah. +[7139.72 --> 7139.94] Okay. +[7141.18 --> 7142.78] I think we're ready. +[7142.94 --> 7143.72] Ah, forget that one. +[7144.24 --> 7144.64] That one? +[7144.76 --> 7144.96] Yep. +[7145.12 --> 7145.36] Okay. +[7145.48 --> 7146.42] Okay, let's move on. +[7147.14 --> 7147.74] Fight time? +[7148.20 --> 7148.34] Yeah. +[7148.34 --> 7148.70] Wait! +[7148.92 --> 7150.14] Pokemon episodes are going on Netflix! +[7151.04 --> 7151.44] Oh, right. +[7151.52 --> 7151.70] Okay. +[7151.98 --> 7152.98] That's all I really have to say. +[7153.10 --> 7154.86] Pokemon episodes going on Netflix. +[7154.86 --> 7157.62] And movies and stuff. +[7158.52 --> 7159.22] Okay, moving on. +[7159.88 --> 7161.60] Never really cared much for the show. +[7161.88 --> 7163.80] I totally did for the first season. +[7163.88 --> 7164.52] You're really young. +[7164.60 --> 7166.10] I haven't watched it other than the first season. +[7167.22 --> 7168.24] But now I might. +[7168.56 --> 7169.00] I don't know. +[7169.42 --> 7170.48] I'm stoked! +[7170.78 --> 7172.16] I want to see the first season again. +[7172.58 --> 7173.32] Oh my god. +[7173.70 --> 7174.50] I'm actually pretty excited. +[7174.50 --> 7176.44] This might be the first time I ever actually get Netflix. +[7177.64 --> 7178.00] Really? +[7178.24 --> 7179.76] I've never been a part of Netflix before. +[7179.94 --> 7180.06] Huh. +[7180.08 --> 7184.48] I'm obviously going to have to do that thing so I can get the thing from not in Canada. +[7184.86 --> 7185.64] Right, yeah. +[7185.94 --> 7187.54] Because the Canada one sucks. +[7187.68 --> 7187.92] Right. +[7188.70 --> 7189.88] But, yeah. +[7189.98 --> 7193.10] Yeah, we have like a lifeline to Hotspot Shield. +[7193.36 --> 7195.92] Like if we ever need help with anything, we just like email them. +[7196.28 --> 7198.22] Speaking of which, so do our users. +[7198.40 --> 7201.48] I actually had someone tweet me saying they were having an issue with the trial. +[7202.10 --> 7204.38] And I emailed it to Hotspot Shield. +[7204.50 --> 7207.76] I think within about a day they had someone from their team contact that user. +[7208.12 --> 7209.50] So Hotspot Shield is one of our sponsors. +[7209.64 --> 7210.46] Not today's episode. +[7210.46 --> 7214.08] But just letting you guys know that they do help us out. +[7214.42 --> 7214.52] Yep. +[7214.86 --> 7215.50] Okay. +[7215.98 --> 7216.56] So this. +[7217.48 --> 7220.42] Posted by Crispy345 on LeTwitter. +[7221.82 --> 7227.78] Nintendo is discontinuing their Wi-Fi connection service. +[7227.78 --> 7248.32] So examples of discontinued functionality is online play and matchmaking, leaderboards, and tournament data, sharing of user-generated content like ghost data and user-created levels, user exchange of in-game items or characters like the Global Trade Station, and free add-on content or downloads such as new levels, in-game items, or mystery gifts. +[7248.32 --> 7249.32] Really, Nintendo? +[7249.32 --> 7251.32] Really, Nintendo? +[7251.32 --> 7251.44] Really? +[7251.44 --> 7256.10] Usually we're pretty stoked with Nintendo on this show. +[7256.62 --> 7257.40] Really, Nintendo? +[7257.40 --> 7258.36] Not this time. +[7258.36 --> 7259.36] I don't think we're pretty much. +[7259.36 --> 7260.36] I don't think we're pretty much. +[7260.36 --> 7262.18] I don't think we can even put Better Than Bieber up on the screen right now. +[7262.78 --> 7264.24] Because that is not Better Than Bieber. +[7264.92 --> 7265.58] I mean, okay. +[7265.58 --> 7267.96] I don't even have a DS anymore. +[7268.36 --> 7271.00] Just, like, total transparency here, guys. +[7271.06 --> 7273.04] I don't have a DS anymore because mine broke. +[7273.04 --> 7276.66] And so, I wasn't even butthurt with Nintendo about that. +[7277.04 --> 7279.04] It has a legitimately defective... +[7279.62 --> 7281.90] The DS Lite shoulder buttons are defective. +[7282.08 --> 7284.04] Like, the design wasn't good enough. +[7284.42 --> 7286.82] At least certain points in the manufacturing runs of it. +[7287.98 --> 7289.36] But I still was okay. +[7290.64 --> 7297.34] Because, if I ever did get a DS again, I could fire up my Mario Kart cartridge, and I could race with people online. +[7297.64 --> 7298.28] Which is great. +[7301.28 --> 7301.76] But... +[7301.76 --> 7303.90] They're just discontinuing it. +[7304.54 --> 7305.66] Complete devil's advocate. +[7305.90 --> 7307.04] I don't agree with this side at all. +[7307.20 --> 7308.80] But, did you ever even actually do that? +[7309.10 --> 7309.36] Yes. +[7309.66 --> 7310.60] You actually did play online. +[7310.70 --> 7311.34] Yeah, absolutely. +[7311.40 --> 7313.02] The mass majority of people don't. +[7313.10 --> 7313.80] So what? +[7313.88 --> 7314.28] I'm... +[7314.28 --> 7320.42] If the majority of the people aren't using it, it's not like you're updating Mario Kart DS. +[7320.88 --> 7325.62] It's not like you have to, you know, change something about the way the online service runs. +[7325.66 --> 7327.72] They could have even said they don't support it anymore. +[7327.96 --> 7330.34] But this is a complete service discontinuation. +[7330.34 --> 7333.36] Like, they're not allowing you to do those things because they're shutting it down. +[7333.36 --> 7337.86] So, stuff on the box of my game cartridge doesn't work anymore. +[7338.40 --> 7338.66] Yeah. +[7339.60 --> 7342.68] And like, of course, this would happen at some point in time. +[7343.34 --> 7344.88] I did not expect it to happen yet. +[7344.96 --> 7346.80] Especially looking at the track record of Nintendo. +[7347.14 --> 7349.04] Like, how long they supported NES for. +[7349.04 --> 7352.80] That was always one of the big things that people held on a pedestal for Nintendo. +[7352.80 --> 7356.64] If you were ever in an argument about Nintendo, they were always like, yeah, but they're an awesome company. +[7356.72 --> 7358.18] Look at how long they supported NES for. +[7358.36 --> 7360.44] Now it's going to be like, yeah, but they kind of ditched. +[7361.16 --> 7362.26] Like, pretty hardcore. +[7362.96 --> 7364.32] On one generation back. +[7364.50 --> 7365.88] Like, not even that far back. +[7366.06 --> 7368.98] They didn't pull a Microsoft where they're like, yeah, we're not going to support XP. +[7369.62 --> 7371.18] Actually, we're going to support it for a while. +[7371.50 --> 7374.70] And then not support it way later than the original date that they proposed. +[7374.98 --> 7376.66] Which was actually kind of cool. +[7377.32 --> 7379.70] No, this is effective May 20th. +[7379.70 --> 7384.08] So, the Wii, Nintendo DS, and the DSi games are all affected by this. +[7384.42 --> 7387.74] I mean, the Wii wasn't current that long ago. +[7388.06 --> 7388.26] Yeah. +[7388.26 --> 7393.10] And we know that not everyone with a Wii upgraded to a Wii U. +[7393.58 --> 7393.98] Yeah. +[7394.18 --> 7394.88] We know this. +[7395.00 --> 7395.32] Definitely. +[7395.72 --> 7401.58] So, there are a lot of people who still have, however much they might use it, a, for them, +[7402.36 --> 7407.94] perfectly functional gaming console that now they are discontinuing their online services for. +[7407.94 --> 7413.22] But, of course, you will still have access to the Wii Shop channel and the DSi Shop. +[7413.56 --> 7414.90] Essentially, if you can spend money. +[7416.38 --> 7417.64] So, yeah. +[7418.26 --> 7419.48] The things that you can't spend money. +[7420.02 --> 7420.66] It's not going to happen. +[7421.04 --> 7422.12] Free add-on content. +[7422.38 --> 7423.30] No longer supported. +[7425.48 --> 7426.62] User created levels. +[7426.84 --> 7427.74] No longer supported. +[7428.24 --> 7429.58] But, you can buy things. +[7429.92 --> 7430.16] Yeah. +[7431.14 --> 7432.36] Not impressed with you. +[7432.44 --> 7434.22] So, why don't we do a quick Twitter blitz here, guys? +[7434.30 --> 7436.18] We haven't done one of those pretty much all show. +[7436.68 --> 7437.36] We did a little bit. +[7437.36 --> 7439.32] I had asked you guys something earlier. +[7439.44 --> 7440.42] I forget what it is now. +[7441.24 --> 7443.40] But, yeah. +[7443.68 --> 7445.24] I didn't see many responses. +[7445.40 --> 7447.32] So, we didn't end up replying to that. +[7447.32 --> 7447.40] Yeah. +[7448.00 --> 7448.60] All right. +[7449.70 --> 7451.94] In before Langley bylaw to stop it. +[7452.18 --> 7453.38] It could be inside of the building. +[7454.04 --> 7457.16] I think Lord Gabe N would like the money to be used for charity instead. +[7457.54 --> 7458.58] Yeah, that's cool. +[7458.66 --> 7460.60] But, I would rather build a statue to Gabe N. +[7460.60 --> 7464.66] I'm already contributing, but I go up to gold for a month. +[7465.32 --> 7465.72] Absolutely. +[7465.92 --> 7467.08] In a second, statue love. +[7467.14 --> 7469.56] So, everyone's just tweeting at us about bronze Gabe N. +[7471.16 --> 7472.06] Jailbreak your iPhone. +[7472.52 --> 7473.92] Download the SSL patch. +[7474.34 --> 7475.14] I don't really care. +[7475.24 --> 7476.14] See, that's exactly... +[7476.14 --> 7478.82] See, I think you're missing the point of why I'm using the iPhone. +[7479.04 --> 7480.68] I'm using it because I don't care. +[7480.82 --> 7481.56] Does not care. +[7481.56 --> 7485.60] Not because I'm wanting to tweak it and fuss about with it more. +[7486.16 --> 7487.72] Why don't I use a start menu on Windows 8? +[7487.84 --> 7488.62] Because I don't care. +[7489.50 --> 7490.78] I just... +[7490.78 --> 7490.96] What? +[7490.96 --> 7492.96] I mean... +[7494.48 --> 7497.06] I kind of agree with that guy. +[7497.96 --> 7500.72] But then you use the touch functionality of your screen a lot. +[7500.72 --> 7502.42] Yeah, this is a touchscreen Ultrabook. +[7502.68 --> 7506.52] Yeah, and he actually does legitimately use the touchscreen on his Ultrabook a lot. +[7506.52 --> 7507.74] And there's absolutely... +[7507.74 --> 7509.96] Okay, I have... +[7509.96 --> 7510.56] Is that your Twitter background? +[7511.06 --> 7512.02] Yeah, your Twitter background. +[7512.04 --> 7513.18] I need a cool Twitter background. +[7513.18 --> 7514.84] I need to ask Ed for one. +[7515.06 --> 7520.00] I have 10 programs pinned to the start menu. +[7520.00 --> 7522.22] Those are the only 10 programs I use on this notebook. +[7523.22 --> 7523.34] Yeah. +[7523.88 --> 7524.86] What do I need a start menu for? +[7524.98 --> 7526.00] And he's using touch. +[7526.12 --> 7531.10] And if you go to the Windows 8 Modern UI, I don't know, Metro, whatever. +[7531.80 --> 7534.30] If you're using touch, it's not that bad. +[7534.34 --> 7541.18] I've never once used the Modern UI for the main reason being that all the modern apps are garbage. +[7541.50 --> 7541.94] Yeah, terrible. +[7541.94 --> 7544.92] Particularly the picture viewing one and the movie watching one. +[7544.92 --> 7553.48] The first thing I do, as soon as I get a Windows 8 device, is I change the default to Windows Gallery Viewer or whatever, the old one. +[7553.68 --> 7554.90] Even though it's a piece of crap too. +[7555.02 --> 7556.30] I've got a buddy that works in IT. +[7556.76 --> 7558.12] He works in an office building. +[7558.92 --> 7560.10] Actually, in Vancouver. +[7560.52 --> 7562.98] And he has a batch file script that does that automatically. +[7563.20 --> 7563.40] Nice. +[7563.46 --> 7567.44] Because if someone ever brings in a new device or they do a new computer or anything like that, he's just like, boop. +[7567.54 --> 7569.90] Because it fixes so many ticket reports. +[7570.24 --> 7571.28] I'm just like, this isn't working. +[7571.38 --> 7572.20] I'm locked in the screen. +[7572.28 --> 7572.68] Whatever, whatever. +[7572.68 --> 7576.66] Yeah, like I tried to open a picture and I can't move. +[7576.78 --> 7577.44] I can't do anything. +[7578.58 --> 7578.94] Anyway. +[7579.14 --> 7579.98] So there's tons of those problems. +[7580.78 --> 7584.30] I missed five years ago when I could lose my charger because I didn't have to charge my phone every day. +[7584.40 --> 7584.94] Yeah, I know, right? +[7585.84 --> 7587.22] Life on a wireless charger. +[7587.84 --> 7588.98] Nexus 5 people know. +[7590.00 --> 7595.74] So people are talking a little bit more about our phone's just a dead end and doesn't matter anymore. +[7596.22 --> 7601.08] Whip says, I'm all for higher resolution screens, even if only for the sake of progression. +[7601.08 --> 7603.84] But like, do we need progression for the sake of progression? +[7604.00 --> 7608.96] I want high resolution screens on phones so that that technology can be cheaper and Oculus can get it. +[7609.02 --> 7609.32] Yeah. +[7611.54 --> 7613.98] Everyone just wants to talk about the Gabe N statue. +[7614.30 --> 7615.98] The statue should have a Steam logo. +[7616.54 --> 7618.54] Is DDR4 coming out at the end of the year, the summer? +[7618.64 --> 7619.40] I have no idea. +[7619.40 --> 7621.62] It'll come out when it comes out. +[7621.68 --> 7625.62] It'll be faster and it'll use less power and it'll be higher density. +[7626.92 --> 7627.84] And we'll test it. +[7629.04 --> 7631.12] My GPU is running at 100% on idle. +[7631.56 --> 7631.92] Why? +[7632.28 --> 7636.12] Is it possible that you're coin mining and you don't know about it? +[7637.12 --> 7637.76] Something's wrong. +[7637.96 --> 7638.64] Yeah, something's wrong. +[7639.04 --> 7639.56] Go on the forum. +[7640.26 --> 7641.08] Yeah, go on the forum. +[7641.52 --> 7642.24] Troubleshooting section. +[7642.50 --> 7643.42] Getting kind of big, actually. +[7643.78 --> 7644.32] Which is good. +[7644.76 --> 7649.02] I used my Wii a week ago for Mario Kart and did a bit of online and missed how fun it was. +[7649.30 --> 7649.44] Yep. +[7649.44 --> 7649.68] There you go. +[7649.84 --> 7651.32] So like, I know people do it. +[7651.56 --> 7651.76] Yep. +[7651.82 --> 7652.90] It's just not a super high percentage. +[7653.02 --> 7654.08] But then exactly what you said. +[7654.14 --> 7656.48] It's not a super high percentage, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. +[7656.48 --> 7664.10] When I gamed on my DS, playing Mario Kart DS or whatever they call that one, like, it wasn't right when it came out. +[7664.10 --> 7665.20] And like, people were on. +[7665.46 --> 7665.52] Yeah. +[7665.58 --> 7666.62] Like, you could get a match. +[7666.70 --> 7668.02] Especially with stuff like Mario Kart. +[7668.06 --> 7668.16] Yeah. +[7668.18 --> 7669.88] Like, certain other things, maybe not. +[7669.88 --> 7674.18] Like, I tried to play on my 2DS, but 3DS game. +[7674.38 --> 7675.82] I'm trying to remember the name of it now. +[7676.54 --> 7680.54] What's the old story of the guy that has wax wings and flies too? +[7680.76 --> 7681.24] Kid Icarus. +[7681.26 --> 7684.48] I was trying to play Kid Icarus on my 2DS and went to go play multiplayer. +[7684.58 --> 7685.10] No one was there. +[7685.44 --> 7687.06] But I'm like, I'm trying to play Kid Icarus. +[7687.22 --> 7687.38] Yeah. +[7687.48 --> 7688.48] I'm not trying to play Mario Kart. +[7688.52 --> 7689.70] I guess I could have expected this. +[7689.70 --> 7695.78] There is no reason why Mario Kart DS couldn't be enjoyed a year or two or three or four or five from now. +[7695.90 --> 7696.00] Yeah. +[7696.22 --> 7696.44] Yeah. +[7696.56 --> 7696.90] Definitely. +[7696.90 --> 7703.00] What headphones do you use for listening to music on your pro-grade station? +[7703.16 --> 7703.94] What about on the go? +[7705.10 --> 7709.38] I use mostly my HD 600s when I'm at home. +[7710.00 --> 7715.38] However, sometimes ADH, whatever, the Denon D2000s. +[7715.38 --> 7716.42] I really like those as well. +[7717.38 --> 7720.16] And then when I'm on the go, it's always all about the IEMs. +[7720.40 --> 7721.98] I have my IE80s on me. +[7721.98 --> 7725.58] If you ever see me on the street and you want to test this, just walk up. +[7725.58 --> 7727.52] Be like, Linus, do you have your IE80s in your pocket? +[7727.76 --> 7729.62] Be like, no, because they're in my ear. +[7730.46 --> 7731.08] Or yes. +[7731.36 --> 7732.20] That's the other answer. +[7732.50 --> 7732.90] It's not true. +[7733.40 --> 7734.82] How about a bronze Linus statue? +[7734.90 --> 7736.18] I don't think anybody needs that. +[7736.26 --> 7737.64] I wonder if it would be considerably cheaper. +[7739.42 --> 7740.58] Because it'd be like... +[7741.14 --> 7746.56] Oh, that's terrible. +[7746.56 --> 7748.12] That's terrible. +[7748.74 --> 7751.10] How can you say such a thing? +[7751.76 --> 7752.58] It should be. +[7753.96 --> 7755.60] Or maybe it's like that material thing. +[7756.40 --> 7758.08] Apparently it's because GameSpy is shutting down the... +[7758.08 --> 7758.56] I don't care. +[7758.84 --> 7759.96] I don't care why it's going down. +[7760.06 --> 7760.36] Fix it. +[7761.32 --> 7762.64] Statue would get us some press. +[7762.78 --> 7763.54] Yeah, probably. +[7763.66 --> 7764.56] Probably terrible press. +[7764.74 --> 7764.82] Yeah. +[7765.20 --> 7767.72] Is Hotspot Shield slowing down internet speed a common issue? +[7767.88 --> 7770.30] That's just a reality of using a VPN. +[7770.30 --> 7773.42] Because you're relying on their connection. +[7773.90 --> 7775.02] And like, you're relying on... +[7775.02 --> 7777.10] The signal has to be physically rerouted. +[7777.74 --> 7779.02] So it's like, further. +[7779.18 --> 7780.38] The latency is worse. +[7781.02 --> 7782.18] Have either of you played Thief yet? +[7782.26 --> 7782.70] Any thoughts? +[7782.94 --> 7783.40] Whoops, sorry. +[7783.64 --> 7785.84] I think it's a lot better than a lot of people have been saying. +[7786.30 --> 7788.86] Honestly, I think people have jumped into the game. +[7789.02 --> 7790.00] Played for like five seconds. +[7790.12 --> 7790.98] Be like, this game sucks. +[7791.34 --> 7792.86] It's not as hard as Thief used to be. +[7793.12 --> 7795.16] Because they didn't click on the custom difficulty button. +[7795.28 --> 7798.62] And click classic Thief custom difficulty options. +[7798.62 --> 7800.46] Come on! +[7800.56 --> 7801.34] There's ten... +[7801.34 --> 7801.74] It's like... +[7801.74 --> 7802.24] Get out! +[7802.34 --> 7803.46] It's one of the most... +[7803.46 --> 7806.74] You can customize the difficulty with such a fine comb. +[7806.82 --> 7807.30] It's amazing. +[7807.42 --> 7810.28] Well, they're used to not having an options menu. +[7811.92 --> 7814.44] So nobody looks for it anymore. +[7815.16 --> 7815.58] But it's not... +[7815.58 --> 7817.28] When you go to create a new game, it's like... +[7818.02 --> 7819.56] Thief... +[7819.56 --> 7820.52] Well, what is it? +[7820.72 --> 7822.44] Rogue, Thief, Master, and Custom. +[7822.58 --> 7825.22] If you go to Custom, there's a huge list of custom options you can do. +[7825.52 --> 7826.70] Some which are insane. +[7826.70 --> 7829.70] If you're detected at all, you just instantly fail. +[7830.06 --> 7830.88] That's one of the options. +[7831.26 --> 7837.68] So if you're worried about how difficult it is, you can make it insane beyond logical levels of difficulty very easily. +[7837.68 --> 7842.54] Or you can just turn off all the new things and make it classic Thief style difficulty very easily. +[7842.54 --> 7846.34] And everyone's complaining about that, which is fixable. +[7846.54 --> 7850.94] But not enough people are complaining about the audio, which is horribly, terribly broken. +[7851.44 --> 7861.62] Which is ironic because when I last saw it, which was like back in September, whenever GPU 14 was, when I was in Hawaii for the AMD event, +[7861.62 --> 7867.88] they had true audio running on it, and the audio experience of Thief was going to be a big selling point. +[7868.80 --> 7877.86] Whereas, I mean, there's reports out there of outside ambient sound effects drowning out the conversation you're trying to have with someone two feet in front of you. +[7877.86 --> 7883.30] And I would have it where it's like, oh my god, someone is talking right beside me, and I'm a thief. +[7883.42 --> 7884.64] I need to be not detected. +[7884.86 --> 7886.78] And like, someone is talking right beside me. +[7886.86 --> 7887.54] And I turn and look. +[7887.88 --> 7890.02] No one's on this floor of the building. +[7890.02 --> 7894.32] The guy who's talking is downstairs in a different room. +[7894.82 --> 7896.68] And like, the positional audio is like, hello. +[7897.30 --> 7898.48] It's like, oh my god. +[7898.50 --> 7903.14] And that's so off-putting when you're trying to sneak around, and it feels like people are talking directly beside you the whole time. +[7903.38 --> 7908.70] Like, it feels like a guard that is in a different floor of the building is sitting right there, talking to me the whole time. +[7908.76 --> 7910.50] And I'm just like trying to sneak and steal things. +[7910.86 --> 7911.08] What? +[7911.76 --> 7912.80] It doesn't make any sense. +[7912.94 --> 7913.90] Why are you so ridiculous? +[7913.90 --> 7914.44] That's silly. +[7914.86 --> 7915.66] I hope they fix it. +[7916.14 --> 7919.62] David asks for a recommendation for a good and expensive gaming laptop. +[7920.02 --> 7925.94] I think the weapon of choice out there right now is Lenovo's Y-series. +[7926.46 --> 7934.60] Although I haven't really, I haven't shopped for a gaming laptop since ever. +[7935.64 --> 7936.34] Actually, yeah. +[7937.08 --> 7938.54] Have you ever bought a gaming laptop? +[7938.74 --> 7938.90] Nope. +[7939.00 --> 7939.44] Neither have I. +[7940.78 --> 7944.86] I mean, with that said, it's not like I don't understand what's good about them. +[7944.90 --> 7945.78] I've sold lots of them. +[7945.90 --> 7946.18] Yeah. +[7946.18 --> 7949.54] And I've sold lots of them to people who I knew would be really happy with them. +[7949.70 --> 7949.80] Yeah. +[7950.02 --> 7950.94] It's just that it's... +[7950.94 --> 7951.36] I don't know why. +[7951.64 --> 7953.08] It would... +[7953.08 --> 7957.44] You know, it's the kind of thing that would probably make more sense for me today than it ever did in the past. +[7958.06 --> 7960.74] Because I used to be a lot more mobile than I am now. +[7960.96 --> 7965.56] I still don't know because you've seen the kit I haul around whenever we go places. +[7965.80 --> 7969.16] If I'm going to use a laptop, I'm bringing my own mechanical keyboard and mouse. +[7969.40 --> 7969.60] Right. +[7969.60 --> 7974.80] So, like, I need so much space that if I bought a gaming laptop, it's so much stuff to haul around. +[7974.80 --> 7975.24] Hmm. +[7975.52 --> 7976.44] Because I would need... +[7976.44 --> 7977.52] I need an external mouse. +[7977.58 --> 7979.52] There's no way I can game with a trackpad. +[7979.60 --> 7983.52] My justification for it would be that it would be excellent as a portable workstation. +[7983.72 --> 7983.86] Yeah. +[7983.86 --> 7986.80] Or even just to completely replace my workstation here. +[7986.94 --> 7990.48] Because a lot of the gaming laptops now support multiple displays out. +[7990.56 --> 7990.76] Mm-hmm. +[7990.76 --> 7995.16] So, you can legitimately have a great productivity workstation, but then you take home with you. +[7995.34 --> 7995.50] Mm-hmm. +[7995.82 --> 7996.44] That's very true. +[7997.12 --> 8002.66] And another thing, as I was trying to say, I've seen people do this, is where they don't haul around a keyboard and mouse. +[8002.92 --> 8003.76] They haul around a controller. +[8004.72 --> 8004.96] Right. +[8005.08 --> 8008.08] And they'll play more games that you're used to seeing on consoles, like racers and whatnot. +[8008.16 --> 8008.28] Right. +[8008.52 --> 8009.84] On their gaming laptop. +[8009.98 --> 8011.18] Which, like, okay, that makes sense. +[8011.26 --> 8013.48] Controllers are much more portable than a keyboard and mouse. +[8014.10 --> 8015.54] So, that makes sense. +[8015.70 --> 8017.94] What is your opinion of the best monitor? +[8018.56 --> 8019.36] Impossible to say. +[8019.68 --> 8020.66] Incredibly long discussion. +[8020.76 --> 8020.94] Yeah. +[8021.72 --> 8024.18] What did I think of the ATH-M50s after all? +[8024.30 --> 8024.88] Oh, they're okay. +[8025.44 --> 8027.16] For the price, they're really good. +[8027.96 --> 8029.30] Didn't think they were that comfortable. +[8029.80 --> 8033.28] I think that the comfort of them is not as amazing as it's cracked up to be. +[8033.32 --> 8035.36] I also found them a little bit harsh at the high end. +[8035.74 --> 8039.34] But my hearing is a little bit more sensitive at the high end than it is elsewhere. +[8039.34 --> 8041.24] So, that makes a bit of sense. +[8041.54 --> 8047.22] Something with a perfectly flat frequency response curve might not sound that great to me. +[8047.28 --> 8049.16] It might be kind of fatiguing for me to listen to. +[8049.16 --> 8061.68] Whereas, some of the roll-off that you get from something like an Essence 1, where you have higher output impedance with low impedance headphones, is actually somewhat desirable to me. +[8061.68 --> 8063.34] Except that I miss out on some of the bass. +[8063.50 --> 8064.26] So, yeah. +[8064.34 --> 8064.72] They're good. +[8064.82 --> 8065.64] I would recommend them. +[8066.26 --> 8069.38] Just not as comfortable for me as they are for some people. +[8069.38 --> 8073.56] People are like, the Wii is eight years old, but I still play Brawl Online. +[8073.84 --> 8074.04] Yeah. +[8074.18 --> 8074.36] See? +[8074.56 --> 8075.56] This is what I'm talking about. +[8075.98 --> 8076.76] Gold Gaben. +[8076.86 --> 8077.32] Too expensive. +[8077.92 --> 8078.12] Yeah. +[8078.46 --> 8080.04] Heard DirectX 11 is getting an update. +[8080.10 --> 8080.70] A lot like Mantle. +[8080.76 --> 8084.02] There's not a lot of substantiated evidence for it yet. +[8084.12 --> 8084.34] Yeah. +[8084.84 --> 8085.62] We'll hold off. +[8085.92 --> 8086.14] Yeah. +[8086.58 --> 8089.90] Only if it's six meters tall with a crown upon his head and a cat in his arms. +[8089.90 --> 8092.04] I still use the Wii. +[8092.26 --> 8094.04] And I have played Mario Kart recently on my DS. +[8094.20 --> 8095.44] I am disappointed they're discontinued. +[8095.44 --> 8096.60] Especially Super Smash Brothers. +[8096.76 --> 8098.28] People play that online like crazy. +[8098.48 --> 8098.66] Yeah. +[8098.82 --> 8100.22] That's something I didn't even think about. +[8100.32 --> 8103.50] On the Wii level, there's even more games that people play a lot online. +[8105.46 --> 8105.68] Hmm. +[8106.06 --> 8107.18] Check out Tom's mic. +[8107.60 --> 8109.86] We could definitely use better mics on this show. +[8111.44 --> 8111.72] Come on. +[8112.08 --> 8112.58] There you go. +[8114.02 --> 8114.84] 327 bucks. +[8115.18 --> 8116.86] But that's how he gets that sound. +[8117.12 --> 8119.18] That's why it sounds really good. +[8119.18 --> 8119.58] Yep. +[8119.90 --> 8120.22] All right. +[8120.34 --> 8121.50] Well, I think we're done here, guys. +[8121.62 --> 8124.48] Thank you so much for tuning into the WAN show today. +[8124.70 --> 8126.92] I

+[32.00 --> 34.00] Yeah, exactly. +[34.00 --> 38.00] It's like, let's figure out all the other things that could- +[38.00 --> 41.00] How about the Stormtrooper was wearing headphones? +[41.00 --> 42.00] Well, there's one thing. +[42.00 --> 48.00] How about the Stormtrooper didn't have a gun that he was firing wildly at nothing? +[48.00 --> 55.00] Although, I'm actually a believer in the conspiracy theory that they were instructed not to hit anything. +[55.00 --> 57.00] I buy that. +[57.00 --> 58.00] Have you heard of this? +[58.00 --> 59.00] That makes sense though. +[59.00 --> 60.20] That makes sense though. +[60.20 --> 61.20] Yeah. +[61.20 --> 65.20] The conspiracy theory is that the Stormtroopers were told not to hit anything because we +[65.20 --> 71.20] already know from Obi-Wan that only Imperial Stormtroopers are this precise. +[71.20 --> 73.20] I actually just re-watched A New Hope. +[73.20 --> 74.20] Not special edition. +[74.20 --> 75.20] Not remastered. +[75.20 --> 77.20] That actually totally makes sense. +[77.20 --> 78.20] It totally makes sense. +[78.20 --> 79.20] Whoa. +[79.20 --> 80.20] That blew my brain up a little bit. +[80.20 --> 83.40] Anyway, I just re-watched A New Hope with my son. +[83.40 --> 89.40] And I can happily say, actually, I haven't watched it in probably at least eight years. +[89.40 --> 92.40] I've watched it a lot of times, but I haven't watched it in a long time. +[92.40 --> 94.40] It still holds up. +[94.40 --> 95.40] Really? +[95.40 --> 97.60] And my two-year-old son sat through the whole thing. +[97.60 --> 99.60] Even though it's not really that action-packed. +[99.60 --> 104.60] Like, the first movie he really sat through all the way was How to Train Your Dragon. +[104.60 --> 105.60] Yeah. +[105.60 --> 107.80] Like, that's a pretty exciting movie. +[107.80 --> 111.00] That was one of those things where it was just playing on like a local TV network and +[111.00 --> 113.40] I went to my parents' house and I came in like half hour late. +[113.40 --> 114.80] Oh, you still haven't seen it. +[114.80 --> 117.80] No, I came in like half an hour late and I was supposed to be helping my mom cook. +[117.80 --> 120.40] And I like kept on dragging back to like watch the TV. +[120.40 --> 121.80] And I was like, this is really interesting. +[121.80 --> 122.80] This is actually a pretty good movie. +[122.80 --> 123.80] It's a fantastic movie. +[123.80 --> 125.80] I love that movie. +[125.80 --> 128.40] You know what else is supposed to be really good is Guardians of the Galaxy. +[128.40 --> 131.60] I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard glowing reviews from like everybody. +[131.60 --> 133.80] Have not seen it up to this point. +[133.80 --> 135.40] I didn't expect you probably would have seen it. +[135.40 --> 136.40] Yeah. +[136.40 --> 139.80] Just bring like absolute newborn into the theater. +[139.80 --> 143.40] I did manage to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 before the new baby comes. +[143.40 --> 145.40] We actually didn't take my son. +[145.40 --> 146.40] What? +[146.40 --> 147.40] Why? +[147.40 --> 148.40] It was date night. +[148.40 --> 150.40] Ahahaha! +[150.40 --> 151.40] You got rekt! +[151.40 --> 155.40] Well, that and we could only find a 3D showing and he's two. +[155.40 --> 156.40] Oh, a 3D showing? +[156.40 --> 157.40] Yeah, no, I wouldn't do that. +[157.40 --> 159.40] Yeah, it was just one of those things. +[159.40 --> 160.40] And I was like, well... +[160.40 --> 162.40] I've heard too much crap about 3D and little kids. +[162.40 --> 164.40] I wanted to see it in the theater. +[164.40 --> 165.40] So... +[165.40 --> 169.40] I'll watch it again when it's out for a DVD or whatever. +[169.40 --> 170.40] That's hilarious. +[170.40 --> 171.40] Okay. +[171.40 --> 173.40] And when that happens, then that's what'll happen. +[173.40 --> 175.40] So our first topic? +[175.40 --> 177.40] Yeah, we have some topics for today. +[177.40 --> 180.40] Samsung Galaxy Alpha has been announced. +[180.40 --> 185.40] It's the least exceptional thing ever, as far as I can tell. +[185.40 --> 190.40] USB Type-C has a finalized spec, which is actually really exciting. +[190.40 --> 194.40] A hundred times more exciting than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. +[194.40 --> 199.40] Ubisoft is promising to cater more to PC gamers and pay more attention to PC gamers. +[199.40 --> 200.40] So... +[200.40 --> 202.40] Excuse me, sorry. +[202.40 --> 204.40] Yeah, I don't know. +[204.40 --> 205.40] We've been having these problems lately. +[205.40 --> 206.40] Was that too subtle? +[206.40 --> 207.40] Bullshit! +[207.40 --> 208.40] There we go, there we go. +[208.40 --> 213.40] The Xperia Z2 survived multiple weeks under salt water, which is insane. +[213.40 --> 214.40] We'll talk more about that later as well. +[214.40 --> 216.40] Kind of thing, like meters of salt water. +[216.40 --> 219.40] But without further ado... +[219.40 --> 224.40] Come on! +[224.40 --> 226.40] Can I never get this right? +[226.40 --> 229.40] Were there even technical difficulties when I was gone? +[229.40 --> 230.40] Uhhh... +[230.40 --> 233.40] Yes, there was. +[233.40 --> 235.40] Remember the screen sharing worked. +[235.40 --> 237.40] I don't remember anything. +[237.40 --> 239.40] Oh, well, I told you what. +[239.40 --> 240.40] Oh, that's right! +[240.40 --> 241.40] Yeah. +[241.40 --> 242.40] Yeah, I'm back in the Avermedia now. +[242.40 --> 243.40] It's all good. +[243.40 --> 245.40] All I had to do was unplug it and plug it back in. +[245.40 --> 247.40] And then it was fine, actually. +[247.40 --> 250.40] Oh yeah, guys! +[250.40 --> 251.40] We have a sponsor this week! +[251.40 --> 253.40] Squarespace is back! +[253.40 --> 255.40] 10% off with author code Linus. +[255.40 --> 261.40] Remember guys, Squarespace is the fantastic, easy, inexpensive, scalable, and beautiful way +[261.40 --> 263.40] to have your own website. +[263.40 --> 266.40] You know, like Geocities, except... +[266.40 --> 268.40] Not the 90s. +[268.40 --> 273.40] No, like, crazy flashing RGB animations and all this junk. +[273.40 --> 276.40] Squarespace believes the web shouldn't look like garbage. +[276.40 --> 278.40] That's a big difference! +[278.40 --> 282.40] I mean, the 90s web had its charm, to be clear. +[282.40 --> 283.40] I mean, does... +[283.40 --> 284.40] Okay, okay. +[284.40 --> 285.40] Space Jam?

+[364.40 --> 368.40] This is pre-Habbo Hotel, okay? +[368.40 --> 370.40] We're talking palace, not Habbo Hotel. +[370.40 --> 374.40] If you were a Habbo Hotel kid, then you were basically as cool as my sister. +[374.40 --> 381.40] Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew. +[381.40 --> 383.40] Alright, so guys, check that out. +[383.40 --> 385.40] I'm curious to see the results here. +[385.40 --> 388.40] That is the most hardcore spam I think I've ever seen. +[388.40 --> 395.40] So, apparently, I am like the only person in the entire universe who remembers the palace. +[395.40 --> 396.40] I remember the palace. +[396.40 --> 398.40] I don't think I ever was on it, but I knew the palace. +[398.40 --> 400.40] Oh, the palace was awesome! +[400.40 --> 402.40] Like, it was... +[402.40 --> 404.40] Okay, it was kind of... +[404.40 --> 411.40] If they had figured out a monetization model for avatars, they would have been, you know, +[411.40 --> 414.40] 10 plus years ahead of in-game items. +[414.40 --> 415.40] Yeah. +[415.40 --> 416.40] In terms... +[416.40 --> 421.40] Because the way that avatars worked in the palace was, generally speaking, people shared them back and forth. +[421.40 --> 423.40] You couldn't really just rip them off people. +[423.40 --> 426.40] Because the way that they worked was, you know, you'd like... +[426.40 --> 428.40] You built them up on your guy and it was kind of this weird thing. +[428.40 --> 429.40] So there were sets. +[429.40 --> 431.40] And then some people would be mismatched. +[431.40 --> 432.40] So everyone had like... +[432.40 --> 434.40] There was like the one chick with the skater shorts. +[434.40 --> 437.40] And like the one dude with the skater pants or whatever. +[437.40 --> 440.40] And so you could like mix and match them so they looked different anyway. +[440.40 --> 441.40] The point is... +[441.40 --> 443.40] I don't know what the point is. +[443.40 --> 446.40] The point is I'm old and no one remembers the things I remember. +[446.40 --> 448.40] Well, you got that from the Space Jam thing still existing. +[448.40 --> 450.40] So we're just talking about old internet stuff. +[450.40 --> 451.40] No, no, I already... +[451.40 --> 452.40] Homestar Runner! +[452.40 --> 453.40] Someone said Homestar Runner in the chat. +[453.40 --> 454.40] Yeah, Homestar Runner, man. +[454.40 --> 457.40] There's a Wikipedia entry update. +[457.40 --> 460.40] Apparently they released a video at some point like teasing that there was going to be another... +[460.40 --> 463.40] Burn and eating all the people. +[463.40 --> 467.40] Apparently there was going to be another strong bad email at some point. +[467.40 --> 469.40] But that was like three years ago, I think. +[469.40 --> 470.40] And it still hasn't happened. +[470.40 --> 471.40] So I don't know. +[471.40 --> 472.40] Yeah, we'll see. +[472.40 --> 476.40] Alright, so speaking of things that should have happened three years ago and never really managed +[476.40 --> 477.40] to happen. +[477.40 --> 480.40] Samsung is finally releasing... +[480.40 --> 482.40] Hold on, I'm just going to sign out of my forum account here. +[482.40 --> 483.40] Galaxy Beta? +[483.40 --> 485.40] Yeah, Galaxy Beta. +[485.40 --> 487.40] No, no, this is pre-beta. +[487.40 --> 488.40] Ha! +[488.40 --> 490.40] This be alpha, dawg. +[490.40 --> 491.40] Alright, the screen share here. +[491.40 --> 495.40] So this was originally posted by Nine Shadow on the forum. +[495.40 --> 500.40] And it is finally a metal phone from Samsung. +[500.40 --> 502.40] Is it called alpha because it's not ready yet? +[502.40 --> 507.40] And it's funny because I don't think they could have made this look any more like an iPhone +[507.40 --> 508.40] if they had tried. +[508.40 --> 509.40] Wow. +[509.40 --> 514.40] Now that Android has on-screen buttons, you have just one home button in the middle. +[514.40 --> 520.40] You got a speaker grill, a front camera, and like... side buttons. +[520.40 --> 521.40] Wow. +[521.40 --> 525.40] Like, I know they already weren't really that different, but that's pretty close. +[525.40 --> 526.40] But it's pretty... +[526.40 --> 528.40] If their button at the bottom was circular, then... +[528.40 --> 529.40] I know, right? +[529.40 --> 530.40] GG. +[530.40 --> 531.40] But at least... +[531.40 --> 533.40] Okay, so it's got a 4.7 inch display. +[533.40 --> 535.40] It's got a metal housing. +[535.40 --> 538.40] It's got their Exynos octa-core processor. +[538.40 --> 541.40] So four cores at 1.8, four cores at 1.3. +[541.40 --> 545.40] It has 2 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of internal storage. +[545.40 --> 548.40] It supports LTE advanced, which is nice. +[548.40 --> 551.40] But it's got a fingerprint sensor, speaking of... +[551.40 --> 552.40] Yeah, really. +[552.40 --> 553.40] Oh, whoa. +[553.40 --> 556.40] Yeah, a 12 megapixel rear camera, metal building materials. +[556.40 --> 558.40] And it is... +[558.40 --> 564.40] The rumored street price for off-contract is $800. +[564.40 --> 568.40] Now, I left out a couple of key specs there. +[568.40 --> 573.40] That 4.7 inch screen is a 1280x720 screen. +[573.40 --> 574.40] And I'll be the first. +[574.40 --> 576.40] Like, I've talked about this on the show before. +[576.40 --> 577.40] Oh, yeah. +[577.40 --> 581.40] I don't think we need Quad HD 2560x14 485 inch screens. +[581.40 --> 582.40] I think it's unnecessary. +[582.40 --> 586.40] I think it adds to cost, power consumption, and reduces battery life, +[586.40 --> 589.40] and otherwise just generally doesn't really have any benefit. +[589.40 --> 593.40] But you've got to at least try. +[593.40 --> 597.40] And there's something to say for 1080x720 on a phone. +[597.40 --> 598.40] Yes, yes. +[598.40 --> 600.40] 1080 is noticeable. +[600.40 --> 604.40] Whereas, you know, 1440, maybe not that noticeable. +[604.40 --> 606.40] 720p is definitely lower. +[606.40 --> 610.40] It also only has an 1860 milliamp hour battery. +[610.40 --> 614.40] Yeah, I noticed you skipped over that and I was like, I know why. +[614.40 --> 617.40] Because I'm about to lower the hate boom! +[618.40 --> 621.40] And no micro SD expansion. +[621.40 --> 622.40] Nope. +[622.40 --> 628.40] We're talking a flagship phone when pretty much everyone else has reversed on the whole, +[628.40 --> 634.40] yes, we're not going to have micro SD because people should use up their entire internal storage for their music libraries. +[634.40 --> 636.40] That never made any sense. +[636.40 --> 637.40] Super dumb. +[637.40 --> 638.40] Super dumb. +[638.40 --> 646.40] I mean, I don't necessarily agree that phone makers need to allow people to install apps on an external SD card. +[646.40 --> 647.40] No. +[647.40 --> 648.40] And there are good reasons for that. +[648.40 --> 649.40] Yeah. +[649.40 --> 650.40] SD cards are not reliable. +[650.40 --> 651.40] They're not fast. +[651.40 --> 652.40] So, fine. +[652.40 --> 653.40] I get it. +[653.40 --> 655.40] I can have the experience or whatever. +[655.40 --> 656.40] That's fine. +[656.40 --> 658.40] But let me put my music and pictures on it. +[658.40 --> 661.40] I don't want to be using up my stupid 16 gigs of internal storage on that. +[661.40 --> 662.40] That's what I ever used it for anyways. +[662.40 --> 663.40] Exactly. +[663.40 --> 664.40] I just use it as a direct storage device. +[664.40 --> 668.40] Pull it in the computer, put freaking music, songs, whatever on it, take it out, put it in the phone. +[668.40 --> 669.40] So it's freaking awesome. +[669.40 --> 670.40] So this doesn't have that. +[670.40 --> 671.40] It doesn't have that. +[671.40 --> 675.40] And just otherwise is not very impressive. +[675.40 --> 681.40] I mean, okay, it's less than 7 millimeters thick and, excuse me, thin. +[681.40 --> 682.40] Oh. +[682.40 --> 684.40] I hate that so much. +[684.40 --> 685.40] Are you 59 years young? +[685.40 --> 686.40] Yeah, I know, right? +[686.40 --> 688.40] God, that kills me every time. +[688.40 --> 689.40] Like, come... +[689.40 --> 690.40] Okay, I'm not saying you're old. +[690.40 --> 692.40] Maybe when you're 59, you'll understand. +[692.40 --> 694.40] No, I'll still call myself 59 years old. +[694.40 --> 696.40] Or just 59 years. +[696.40 --> 697.40] Or that. +[697.40 --> 699.40] 59 years of swag, dawg. +[699.40 --> 700.40] Mmm. +[700.40 --> 704.40] So, right, and it's only 115 grams, so it is pretty light, especially for a long time. +[704.40 --> 706.40] It was pretty light, especially for a metal phone. +[706.40 --> 713.40] But I think that Samsung's marketing video really does tell us everything that we needed +[713.40 --> 716.40] to know about this phone. +[716.40 --> 722.56] This phone has nothing to do with how good it is. +[722.56 --> 728.46] It has to do with this completely stupid way that some guy has it on his mixing console. +[728.46 --> 733.46] It has to do with, for some reason, someone, like, moving their hands around like this, +[733.46 --> 737.46] has their phone propped up at the edge of the table on its side. +[737.46 --> 743.46] And it has to do with storing it like that for some reason. +[743.46 --> 745.46] They all do that! +[745.46 --> 749.46] Well, they're showing that the side is flat, I guess. +[749.46 --> 750.46] Oh, who cares? +[750.46 --> 753.46] You were not the first to do that. +[753.46 --> 754.46] No. +[754.46 --> 756.46] Oh, wait, they're all walking with it! +[756.46 --> 757.46] Hold on, hold on! +[757.46 --> 758.46] The suspense! +[758.46 --> 761.46] Oh, look at how well it goes with that chic little... +[761.46 --> 764.46] Let's make sure she carries it in a dangerous position outside of the purse. +[764.46 --> 765.46] Yeah. +[765.46 --> 766.46] Where it might potentially fall. +[766.46 --> 768.46] Yeah, don't put a case on it or anything, though. +[768.46 --> 769.46] No, of course not. +[769.46 --> 776.46] Pretty much, this phone is targeted towards people who were never going to care about the spec anyway. +[776.46 --> 778.46] But the thing is that... +[778.46 --> 785.46] The thing that I have to respect Apple for is if you're going to make something that's a fashion accessory, +[785.46 --> 788.46] an iPhone is still a wicked fast phone. +[788.46 --> 791.46] It's still got the horses. +[791.46 --> 792.46] And it... +[792.46 --> 794.46] I personally think it looks better than that. +[794.46 --> 795.46] Yeah, they've managed to make it... +[795.46 --> 799.46] I've never liked the Samsung button on the bottom and it always has that wobbling issue. +[799.46 --> 800.46] Well, maybe this one doesn't. +[800.46 --> 801.46] Maybe. +[801.46 --> 802.46] So let's not be too down on it. +[802.46 --> 803.46] They've all had it so far. +[803.46 --> 805.46] But yeah, you're right, it might not. +[805.46 --> 806.46] I don't know. +[806.46 --> 807.46] It comes in five colors. +[807.46 --> 809.46] Black, white, gold, silver, and blue. +[809.46 --> 812.46] I'm actually trying to get HTC to send me a pink 1M8. +[812.46 --> 813.46] Really? +[813.46 --> 815.46] Oh, I am like... +[815.46 --> 819.46] Super stoked on if I could get my hands on one of those. +[819.46 --> 823.46] Anyway, so the only pricing we actually have is 599 euros. +[823.46 --> 825.46] So it's possible this will land at 599 US dollars. +[825.46 --> 826.46] That happens a lot. +[826.46 --> 828.46] It shouldn't, but it does. +[828.46 --> 831.46] Where there's no currency conversion between territories. +[831.46 --> 834.46] I always feel bad for other places when that happens. +[834.46 --> 836.46] Well, remember, they also get paid in that currency. +[836.46 --> 844.46] So like a competitive minimum wage is not going to be $10 an hour here and $6.72 an hour +[844.46 --> 845.46] or whatever. +[845.46 --> 846.46] It could. +[846.46 --> 847.46] But it isn't, typically. +[847.46 --> 848.46] I don't know. +[848.46 --> 849.46] So I have no argument here. +[849.46 --> 852.46] If you're a country with a similar economy, it'll be similarly equivalent in terms of +[852.46 --> 854.46] the actual number on the end. +[854.46 --> 855.46] Right. +[855.46 --> 856.46] Sometimes. +[856.46 --> 857.46] Not always. +[859.46 --> 860.46] Okay, so... +[860.46 --> 863.46] I don't think that works for people in bad economies. +[863.46 --> 864.46] Because when you're making like... +[864.46 --> 866.46] When a phone costs like millions of... +[866.46 --> 867.46] That's what I mean. +[867.46 --> 869.46] Like in similarly developed economies. +[869.46 --> 870.46] Oh, okay, okay, okay. +[870.46 --> 871.46] Yeah. +[871.46 --> 872.46] Okay, so... +[872.46 --> 873.46] I have a segue. +[873.46 --> 874.46] I have a segue. +[874.46 --> 878.46] For a phone that costs $800, at least they're not as bad people as 1 plus 1. +[878.46 --> 879.46] Oh, right. +[879.46 --> 880.46] This is happening. +[880.46 --> 881.46] I forgot about this. +[881.46 --> 884.46] Happy baby to you. +[884.46 --> 888.46] Happy baby to you. +[888.46 --> 891.46] Happy baby dear lion. +[891.46 --> 893.46] Is this how the word genitals on it?

+[1020.46 --> 1028.46] My previous segway was it may cost about $800 and be somewhat useless, but at least the company behind it isn't as bad as OnePlus One. +[1028.46 --> 1030.46] Ohhhh OnePlus. +[1030.46 --> 1032.46] What are you guys doing? +[1032.46 --> 1033.46] It's like... +[1033.46 --> 1039.46] Is the plan to create as much negative publicity as possible? +[1039.46 --> 1040.46] Negative publicity is still publicity. +[1040.46 --> 1042.46] Yeah, that's true. +[1042.46 --> 1043.46] But I mean, come... +[1043.46 --> 1045.46] We are talking about that. +[1045.46 --> 1051.46] So this was originally posted by Alex Goes High on the forum and basically... +[1051.46 --> 1060.46] It was a contest exclusively for women where it asked women to take a picture of themselves with the OnePlus logo visible on either a piece of paper or drawn somewhere on the body. +[1060.46 --> 1067.46] The 50 most well-liked ladies would get a t-shirt and a code so that they could buy a OnePlus. +[1067.46 --> 1073.46] Oneplus dropped a ladies no nudity warning and I believe... +[1073.46 --> 1082.46] Which is just another way of saying we want you to get as unclothed as possible without it being considered nudity. +[1082.46 --> 1084.46] Well, yeah, because if you think about it, it's most liked so what do you expect? +[1084.46 --> 1092.46] Yeah, and it invites the, you know, the sub-caverns of the internet and... +[1092.46 --> 1093.46] To come in and spam... +[1093.46 --> 1094.46] Colony... +[1094.46 --> 1095.46] Whatever. +[1095.46 --> 1098.46] Whenever you host a big poll, you're always gonna bring in that. +[1098.46 --> 1101.46] But whenever you post a poll in this style, it's gonna happen way more. +[1101.46 --> 1102.46] Yeah. +[1102.46 --> 1103.46] Way, way, way more. +[1103.46 --> 1106.46] So basically, it's super tasteless. +[1106.46 --> 1108.46] Yeah, super, super, super tasteless. +[1108.46 --> 1115.46] A lot of women came in and started doing pictures where they would have like the OnePlus logo and then don't be sexist. +[1115.46 --> 1119.46] And then like not be wearing super revealing clothing. +[1119.46 --> 1120.46] I think that was the general idea. +[1120.46 --> 1122.46] Yeah, there was some of that. +[1122.46 --> 1126.46] At this point, Cyanogen has like denounced the whole thing. +[1126.46 --> 1127.46] Yeah, yeah. +[1127.46 --> 1133.46] Cyanogen exactly said, we value all of our users and do not support any contest that objectifies people. +[1133.46 --> 1135.46] And the contest thread has since been taken down. +[1135.46 --> 1137.46] I mean, you know what? +[1137.46 --> 1144.46] It would be one thing if they were all for equality and they just said, take a picture of yourself with OnePlus. +[1144.46 --> 1151.46] And if people submitted, you know, scantily clad, whatever they were gonna do on their own, of their own volition. +[1151.46 --> 1154.46] If people just are like, yeah, you know what? I'm down. +[1154.46 --> 1156.46] I want to post a picture of myself on the internet. +[1156.46 --> 1157.46] That's their right. +[1157.46 --> 1158.46] And they can do that. +[1158.46 --> 1164.46] But they specifically led people down the path to believe that that's what they were looking for. +[1164.46 --> 1165.46] Exclusively for women. +[1165.46 --> 1167.46] And in the thing, it says somewhere on your body. +[1167.46 --> 1168.46] Somewhere on your body. +[1168.46 --> 1169.46] Or on a piece of paper. +[1169.46 --> 1171.46] So they were specifically asking for that. +[1171.46 --> 1176.46] And then again, it would be a whole other ball of wax if they were actually giving them a phone or something. +[1176.46 --> 1180.46] Here's a chance to buy one because we're douchebags. +[1182.46 --> 1186.46] People keep asking me for a review of this phone. +[1186.46 --> 1190.46] And honestly, I just don't even want to. +[1190.46 --> 1192.46] We got close like a day or two ago. +[1192.46 --> 1198.46] Yeah, we were kind of maybe gonna do it because if one fell into our lap and maybe. +[1198.46 --> 1200.46] Then it maybe would have happened. +[1200.46 --> 1201.46] But at this point, no. +[1201.46 --> 1202.46] Yeah, I don't think so. +[1202.46 --> 1203.46] Like I just. +[1203.46 --> 1207.46] If we did, half the review would be like, yeah, they're kind of douches with their invite-only system. +[1207.46 --> 1210.46] And yeah, they're kind of douches with their objectifying women thing. +[1210.46 --> 1211.46] So. +[1211.46 --> 1215.46] And breaking perfectly good phones instead of encouraging people to recycle them. +[1215.46 --> 1216.46] Yeah, yeah, yeah. +[1216.46 --> 1218.46] But it's made well. +[1218.46 --> 1219.46] Yeah, I guess so. +[1219.46 --> 1223.46] And OK Google Now support isn't there, but you can patch it in and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. +[1223.46 --> 1224.46] There's your review. +[1224.46 --> 1225.46] There's the whole review. +[1225.46 --> 1227.46] That's all you really need to know. +[1227.46 --> 1231.46] Is it, we should do a series, All You Really Need to Know by Luke. +[1231.46 --> 1233.46] It's just like 30 seconds long. +[1233.46 --> 1236.46] It's made well, but some things are broken, but you can fix most of them. +[1236.46 --> 1240.46] But they're kind of a douchebag company, so it's a pretty good phone if you're OK with ignoring the company. +[1240.46 --> 1242.46] And you're OK with patching things in. +[1242.46 --> 1243.46] Thanks for watching. +[1243.46 --> 1248.46] I had an idea for a segment that I wanted to start doing, and now I've totally forgotten what it was. +[1248.46 --> 1249.46] Not the LSD segment, right? +[1249.46 --> 1251.46] No, no, not that one. +[1251.46 --> 1253.46] It was going to be something else. +[1253.46 --> 1255.46] Shoot, it was a really good idea. +[1255.46 --> 1258.46] Oh, well. +[1258.46 --> 1259.46] Oh, well. +[1259.46 --> 1260.46] All right. +[1260.46 --> 1263.46] So Microsoft, it happens every time, so it's hardly news. +[1263.46 --> 1269.46] We're not going to spend a lot of time on it, but Microsoft and Sony caught using PCs to showcase games at GamesCon. +[1269.46 --> 1272.46] Not new, but a continued trend, which is still worth talking about. +[1272.46 --> 1273.46] Yeah. +[1273.46 --> 1280.46] So Microsoft decided, as usual, to camouflage a number of PCs in order to showcase one or even more of its titles. +[1280.46 --> 1288.46] So there was a game crash, and apparently this was running on a GeForce PC because we see a GeForce Experience update down here. +[1288.46 --> 1292.46] And then, of course, there's an Xbox console that is obviously not doing anything. +[1292.46 --> 1296.46] I mean, the thing about this is, guys, you've got to understand, this makes sense because devs... +[1296.46 --> 1306.46] I mean, what, you expect to walk into a game studio and, like, everyone has, like, monitors on their desk and, like, Xbox is next? No. +[1306.46 --> 1309.46] The real work gets done on a PC. +[1309.46 --> 1313.46] So the real testing is going to get done on a PC. +[1313.46 --> 1323.46] You're not going to do, like, a build version of the game, put it on a disk, and, like, put it in a console every time you want to test something. +[1323.46 --> 1324.46] That's not how that works. +[1324.46 --> 1326.46] So, yes. +[1326.46 --> 1331.46] Especially in-development games are going to be showcased on PCs. +[1331.46 --> 1332.46] Yeah. +[1332.46 --> 1333.46] Because they're just better. +[1333.46 --> 1337.46] I think, like, they'll have consoles there, because they're obviously going to have to test it on the console. +[1337.46 --> 1339.46] But, like, the mass majority of the development... +[1339.46 --> 1340.46] Yeah, they'll be actual development. +[1340.46 --> 1343.46] And, like, all of their test builds, like you were talking about, will be on a PC. +[1343.46 --> 1344.46] Yeah. +[1344.46 --> 1345.46] I'm not saying they're not going to have... +[1345.46 --> 1347.46] I'm not saying they're not going to have consoles. +[1347.46 --> 1376.46] But, talking to Joel from Metageek, the channelizer guys, the spectrum analysis thing, they were telling me that one of the guys that they've worked with in the past was a major game development studio that had a big problem, because they had so many Xboxes that, even though the wireless controller works kind of like Bluetooth, where it jumps channels all the time to avoid interfering with anything, they had so many of them that it just created broadband interference in 2.4 GHz, so nothing else could function. +[1376.46 --> 1377.46] Oh, that's awesome. +[1377.46 --> 1382.46] Just jumps, but lands on each other all the time. +[1382.46 --> 1383.46] Yeah. +[1383.46 --> 1384.46] It's horrible. +[1384.46 --> 1387.46] It's like LeapFrog with multiple thousands of people. +[1387.46 --> 1393.46] So, Ori and the Blind Forest is the only game from Microsoft that was proven to be running on PC. +[1393.46 --> 1399.46] It is speculated that others were running on PC, and then Sony was also caught showing need for speed on PC. +[1399.46 --> 1405.46] Honestly, the amount of years that I've been at PAX, there's countless amounts of time where you get a peek in, in a cabinet, and you can see a console under it. +[1405.46 --> 1406.46] I mean a PC under it. +[1406.46 --> 1407.46] Yeah. +[1407.46 --> 1408.46] Countless amounts of time. +[1408.46 --> 1416.46] There's even been times where people just straight up have like a grill on the side of their box thing that's under the TV, and you can look through the grill. +[1416.46 --> 1417.46] There's kind of a grill? +[1417.46 --> 1418.46] No. +[1418.46 --> 1424.46] And you can look through the grill and see a computer, and it's like, K, you're not even hiding it at all. +[1424.46 --> 1426.46] So, like, yeah, I don't know. +[1426.46 --> 1431.46] Alright, speaking of, uh, I don't know what to call this. +[1431.46 --> 1435.46] Ubisoft pledges to take PC more seriously. +[1435.46 --> 1436.46] Oh, good. +[1436.46 --> 1443.46] Ubisoft said today that it is seeking to take Windows PC gaming way more seriously, as the platform continues to make gains against rivals. +[1443.46 --> 1450.46] Um, you know, I think as PC gamers, that headline alone is enough to kind of give me pause. +[1450.46 --> 1451.46] It's like... +[1451.46 --> 1454.46] So you're only doing this because there's a lot of us. +[1454.46 --> 1466.46] You're only doing this because in spite of everything that the entire gaming, triple-A gaming industry has done to alienate us, it's still growing. +[1466.46 --> 1469.46] So I guess there's nothing you can do. +[1469.46 --> 1478.46] So at the last possible second, as the growth continues to be uncontrolled and amazing, you're like, oh, okay, um, yeah. +[1478.46 --> 1479.46] You were on board all along. +[1479.46 --> 1481.46] I guess we'll care about you because you have money. +[1481.46 --> 1483.46] I used to like them. +[1483.46 --> 1486.46] So basically they're saying they're focused more on the needs of PC gamers. +[1486.46 --> 1492.46] They're going to have simplified DRM activation, greater commitment to multi-platform releases, which is a good thing. +[1492.46 --> 1493.46] And I am happy to see that. +[1493.46 --> 1494.46] If it happens. +[1494.46 --> 1495.46] If it happens. +[1495.46 --> 1496.46] I seriously doubt it. +[1496.46 --> 1508.46] And the thing about a multi-platform release is that we expect to actually get a proper release, not one that gets patched three weeks later, a la Watch Dogs, and had a bunch of hidden content in it that you just... +[1508.46 --> 1510.46] Like, I don't even... +[1510.46 --> 1511.46] There wasn't even a DLC plan. +[1511.46 --> 1513.46] It just was turned off. +[1513.46 --> 1514.46] It just turned off. +[1514.46 --> 1515.46] Turned off. +[1515.46 --> 1516.46] I mean, that's a whole other thing. +[1516.46 --> 1521.46] Like, hey, pay another 10 bucks for like the ultra extreme, amazing, high fidelity version. +[1521.46 --> 1523.46] You know, I think a lot of people would actually go for that. +[1523.46 --> 1527.46] They've, uh, there was a post I don't remember by who at all. +[1527.46 --> 1535.46] I think it was someone from Bungie saying that like, if it's so aggressive right now with DLC and microtransactions that we could probably sell resolutions to you. +[1535.46 --> 1536.46] Oh. +[1536.46 --> 1537.46] And it's like, ooh. +[1537.46 --> 1538.46] Ooh. +[1538.46 --> 1539.46] I didn't say it was good to be clear. +[1539.46 --> 1541.46] I said that they could probably get away with it. +[1541.46 --> 1542.46] That's horrible. +[1542.46 --> 1545.46] Um, what are we talking about? +[1545.46 --> 1546.46] Anyway, so blah, blah, blah. +[1546.46 --> 1548.46] They'll focus more on the needs of PC gamers. +[1548.46 --> 1550.46] Greater commitment to multi-platform releases. +[1550.46 --> 1554.46] We're doing our best to bring our games to PC at the same time as the console version. +[1554.46 --> 1559.46] So, Assassin's Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 will come to the PC simultaneously. +[1559.46 --> 1562.46] Not the two games simultaneously, but with the console simultaneously. +[1562.46 --> 1563.46] That isn't the thing I'm most worried about. +[1563.46 --> 1566.46] Yeah, I'm most worried about the thing actually working or being optimized properly. +[1566.46 --> 1567.46] Yeah. +[1567.46 --> 1574.46] I've said in the past when there's these like massive, ridiculous, um, Assassin's Creed delays for PC. +[1574.46 --> 1576.46] I'm like, it's fine if it works. +[1576.46 --> 1578.46] And then it like rarely, really does. +[1578.46 --> 1581.46] And it's always like this craptastic port, but whatever. +[1581.46 --> 1590.46] Alright, so Ubisoft revenues from PC in spite of, you know, all the crummy stuff have gone from 11% of their total revenue to 15%. +[1590.46 --> 1597.46] So, on the one hand, at 11% of their total company revenue, I guess I can understand why they didn't give any cares. +[1597.46 --> 1600.46] Yeah, but their revenue is very split if you think about it. +[1600.46 --> 1608.46] And the thing about that too is, well of course it was going to be 11% if you don't give anyone the option to buy the bloody game on the platform. +[1608.46 --> 1611.46] That happens. +[1611.46 --> 1613.46] A lot of times it's extremely delayed. +[1613.46 --> 1616.46] Like some of the Assassin's Creed delays have been I think like six months long. +[1616.46 --> 1617.46] Yeah. +[1617.46 --> 1623.46] Not super surprising if they happen to have a console and happen to buy it for that because they wanted to play it sometime near its release at all. +[1623.46 --> 1634.46] Another thing is, they're divvied up into web, mobile I believe, even some phone stuff, all consoles including Wii and Wii U, PC. +[1634.46 --> 1635.46] Yeah, last gen consoles. +[1635.46 --> 1636.46] They're everywhere, right? +[1636.46 --> 1639.46] So, even 11% is probably still not too bad. +[1639.46 --> 1640.46] Fairly large, yeah. +[1640.46 --> 1641.46] Yeah. +[1641.46 --> 1651.46] Alright, so of course, big news this week was the passing of beloved actor, comedian Robin Williams. +[1651.46 --> 1656.46] WoW fans, given that he was such an avid gamer in his life, have asked for a WoW tribute. +[1656.46 --> 1664.46] It wouldn't be the first time that Blizzard's done an NPC as a tribute to a person or some kind of event. +[1664.46 --> 1665.46] Yeah. +[1665.46 --> 1666.46] So, not a new thing at all. +[1666.46 --> 1674.46] And basically, the only news we have right now is that Blizzard is indeed listening and they did send out a tweet. +[1674.46 --> 1676.46] If I could just find the tweet. +[1676.46 --> 1677.46] Yep. +[1677.46 --> 1682.46] Blizzard says, thanks to Robin Williams and we'll see you in game. +[1682.46 --> 1684.46] So, that's really nice. +[1684.46 --> 1690.46] I mean, I just, you know, I hope that it's not so soon that it's just kind of piling on. +[1690.46 --> 1698.46] Because the thing that I think a lot of people don't really think about is how the family might react to an in-game representation. +[1698.46 --> 1700.46] I mean, as long as they're okay with it, then that's... +[1700.46 --> 1705.46] Well, this is slightly jumping, but did you hear about how people were treating Zelda? +[1705.46 --> 1707.46] Uh, no. +[1707.46 --> 1713.46] People were treating her incredibly poorly and, like, attacking her for not having enough pictures of her dad and all this kind of stuff on Twitter. +[1713.46 --> 1716.46] So, she fairly publicly left Twitter. +[1716.46 --> 1720.46] She's like, I'm uninstalling it from everything and I'm kind of gone for now. +[1720.46 --> 1724.46] And then Twitter's like, yeah, we're gonna work on our harassment policies. +[1724.46 --> 1726.46] Because it was, like, pretty bad. +[1726.46 --> 1728.46] I can't believe people. +[1728.46 --> 1730.46] To be clear, Zelda is not the game. +[1730.46 --> 1733.46] Zelda is Zelda Williams, Robin Williams' daughter. +[1733.46 --> 1734.46] Yeah. +[1734.46 --> 1735.46] She's, what, 25, I think? +[1735.46 --> 1736.46] I don't know. +[1736.46 --> 1737.46] Something like that. +[1737.46 --> 1743.46] So, anyway, the petition to get him added to WoW as an NPC has almost 11,000 signatures. +[1743.46 --> 1750.46] And, uh, so, yeah, I'll be glad to see some kind of meaningful tribute as long as it's not something that's upsetting to the family. +[1750.46 --> 1753.46] And knowing Blizzard, I wouldn't be too surprised if they talked to them first. +[1753.46 --> 1759.46] I made myself so sad today when we were filming, um, an NCIX PC video. +[1759.46 --> 1764.46] Because at the end, I was like, there was kind of like a salesy, pitchy thing at the end. +[1764.46 --> 1768.46] And I was like, something, something, something, on sale today, come on down! +[1768.46 --> 1771.46] And I was like, oh, now I'm sad. +[1771.46 --> 1775.46] Because that's an Aladdin bit from the very beginning. +[1775.46 --> 1776.46] Yeah. +[1776.46 --> 1777.46] Yeah. +[1777.46 --> 1778.46] Yeah. +[1778.46 --> 1781.46] I just, I made myself uncomfortable and sad. +[1781.46 --> 1783.46] That's no good. +[1783.46 --> 1784.46] Like, this is kind of sucky. +[1784.46 --> 1785.46] That is kind of sucky. +[1785.46 --> 1787.46] I grew up on, like, Mrs. Doubtfire. +[1787.46 --> 1788.46] Oh, I know. +[1788.46 --> 1789.46] Yeah. +[1789.46 --> 1790.46] I saw all of his stuff, too. +[1790.46 --> 1791.46] Yeah. +[1791.46 --> 1793.46] And I even used to watch, like, all of his comedy and everything. +[1793.46 --> 1798.46] Apparently the internet absolutely exploded with, uh, torrent downloads of Robin Williams' +[1798.46 --> 1799.46] stuff. +[1799.46 --> 1805.46] Um, so this TechAge article, moving along to sort of less sad, but also kind of annoying +[1805.46 --> 1806.46] topics. +[1806.46 --> 1807.46] Also kind of, yeah. +[1807.46 --> 1812.46] Uh, apparently this one's been taken down, but the, uh, the gist of it was gathered by +[1812.46 --> 1818.46] our, our, you know, article sleuths before the whole thing was, was disappeared. +[1818.46 --> 1822.46] So DDR4 will be just as expensive as we feared it would be. +[1822.46 --> 1828.46] 60 to 70% more expensive than DDR3, based on crucial prices, which are on Newegg.com as a +[1828.46 --> 1829.46] pre-order. +[1829.46 --> 1840.46] Um, both the 4x8 gig 2133 and 4x8 gig 2400 megahertz kits are listed at 520 US dollars. +[1840.46 --> 1841.46] Wow. +[1841.46 --> 1842.46] That's worth it. +[1842.46 --> 1843.46] Yeah, that's fine. +[1843.46 --> 1844.46] Uh, I mean, it doesn't really matter. +[1844.46 --> 1845.46] I don't think there's anything. +[1845.46 --> 1846.46] Sure. +[1846.46 --> 1847.46] It's on TechAge, if anyone cares. +[1847.46 --> 1848.46] Yep. +[1848.46 --> 1849.46] You can find it. +[1849.46 --> 1851.46] So for whatever reason, 2133 and 2400 megahertz are priced the same. +[1851.46 --> 1853.46] So are kits with and without heat spreaders. +[1853.46 --> 1855.46] Although, um, that actually makes sense. +[1855.46 --> 1857.46] That's a trend that we've seen in the past. +[1857.46 --> 1863.46] Because when the pricing is so high for memory, the memory makers actually have some margin. +[1863.46 --> 1865.46] So they don't nickel and dime you on the heat spreader. +[1865.46 --> 1867.46] That's legitimately what happens. +[1867.46 --> 1868.46] Yeah. +[1868.46 --> 1869.46] Yeah. +[1869.46 --> 1870.46] They're just like, yeah, whatever. +[1870.46 --> 1872.46] Because the heat spreader costs like what, 40 cents or something like that. +[1872.46 --> 1873.46] Like they're not expensive. +[1873.46 --> 1874.46] Yeah. +[1874.46 --> 1875.46] Yeah. +[1875.46 --> 1880.46] But when we're talking like, I mean, I've seen module prices in my time fall down as low +[1880.46 --> 1890.46] as I think NCIX was buying Samsung sticks of DDR1 or DDR2 for like $9.25 or something like that. +[1890.46 --> 1892.46] Like we're at that price. +[1892.46 --> 1893.46] Yeah. +[1893.46 --> 1894.46] 40 cents makes a difference. +[1894.46 --> 1896.46] So at lower prices, it tends to really matter. +[1896.46 --> 1899.46] And then very expensive heat spreaders will still cost money. +[1899.46 --> 1901.46] Things like Dominator Platinum heat spreaders. +[1901.46 --> 1902.46] Those are expensive. +[1902.46 --> 1903.46] Yeah. +[1903.46 --> 1904.46] Those actually cost money to make. +[1904.46 --> 1905.46] You have to pay for them. +[1905.46 --> 1907.46] There's lights and the clear panel and all the metal and all that kind of stuff. +[1907.46 --> 1908.46] Yeah. +[1908.46 --> 1909.46] It's kind of a big deal. +[1909.46 --> 1910.46] Okay. +[1910.46 --> 1916.46] We just got confirmation from our potentially new employee who you still need to meet and +[1916.46 --> 1917.46] kind of sign off on. +[1917.46 --> 1921.46] But he said, yes, he can probably get some contract stuff done for us. +[1921.46 --> 1922.46] Sure. +[1922.46 --> 1923.46] We need time. +[1923.46 --> 1926.46] Because we are in a little bit of trouble over here at Linus Media Group. +[1926.46 --> 1931.46] Taren has an injury to his arm and needs to take some time off. +[1931.46 --> 1934.46] And Brandon's going on vacation to Mexico next week. +[1934.46 --> 1937.46] So we are down two shooter slash editors. +[1937.46 --> 1938.46] Woo. +[1938.46 --> 1939.46] Woo. +[1939.46 --> 1942.46] So we brought in a guy named David part time, who's a friend of Brandon's. +[1942.46 --> 1947.46] And then we are adding another head because we have no idea how long Taren will be gone. +[1947.46 --> 1950.46] David, I almost just leaked the name of the video. +[1950.46 --> 1955.46] David has edited a video that I did very recently and it was actually pretty good. +[1955.46 --> 1956.46] So you guys will see that fairly soon. +[1956.46 --> 1957.46] Oh yeah. +[1957.46 --> 1958.46] David's done work for us before. +[1958.46 --> 1959.46] Yeah. +[1959.46 --> 1960.46] Yeah. +[1960.46 --> 1961.46] Like quite a lot. +[1961.46 --> 1962.46] I couldn't, you can like, if I don't tell you which one it is, you probably won't be +[1962.46 --> 1963.46] able to figure it out. +[1963.46 --> 1964.46] Yeah. +[1964.46 --> 1965.46] All right. +[1965.46 --> 1971.46] So speaking of high speed memory, original poster for this is Mike TZ. +[1971.46 --> 1974.46] And then we've got a promo video, which is very exciting. +[1974.46 --> 1977.46] So this is over on the Kingston HyperX channel. +[1977.46 --> 1984.46] So 4,620 megahertz HyperX Predator memory is a thing. +[1984.46 --> 1992.46] Now to be clear, that world record was set with a single four gig stick cooled by liquid nitrogen. +[1992.46 --> 1997.46] So this memory basically doesn't actually exist. +[1997.46 --> 2003.46] In fact, the, the, the kits that they are going to make out of the same, you know, chips +[2003.46 --> 2006.46] and with the same binning process aren't even for sale yet. +[2006.46 --> 2012.46] But, um, I guess it goes to show you if you want to buy expensive memory, there's probably +[2012.46 --> 2019.46] not much in terms of compelling reasons to spend that money on DDR4 instead of high speed +[2019.46 --> 2021.46] DDR3 at this point. +[2021.46 --> 2022.46] That happens every time though. +[2022.46 --> 2023.46] It happens every time. +[2023.46 --> 2024.46] Yeah. +[2024.46 --> 2031.46] We see a last hurrah and we see lower pricing and then we see it eventually go away and then +[2031.46 --> 2033.46] we reach price parity and then et cetera, et cetera. +[2033.46 --> 2036.46] And around the time Intel releases an actual mainstream platform. +[2036.46 --> 2041.46] So around the time we see Broadwell, that's when we'll see that price parity and all likelihood. +[2041.46 --> 2042.46] Yeah. +[2042.46 --> 2045.46] But this was on a board that's specifically designed for overclocking from Gigabyte. +[2045.46 --> 2048.46] Like it's totally barren of like features and stuff. +[2048.46 --> 2050.46] It's just an overclocking board. +[2050.46 --> 2052.46] Brilliant. +[2052.46 --> 2053.46] Yeah. +[2053.46 --> 2059.46] Uh, speaking of Intel's upcoming platforms, silent laptops may be coming with Broadwell. +[2059.46 --> 2064.46] So this was originally tweeted at me by Alejo Mr. Nokia. +[2064.46 --> 2065.46] Okay. +[2065.46 --> 2069.46] The original article is in Spanish, but Google translate is magic. +[2069.46 --> 2070.46] And yeah. +[2070.46 --> 2071.46] Hooray. +[2071.46 --> 2073.46] Uh, although it's not the translated version. +[2073.46 --> 2075.46] Doesn't seem to be working for me right now. +[2075.46 --> 2077.46] If you Google the URL, it can give you a translate thing. +[2077.46 --> 2078.46] Yeah. +[2078.46 --> 2079.46] It's okay. +[2079.46 --> 2080.46] It doesn't matter. +[2080.46 --> 2084.46] Um, so basically we are going to be seeing chips that potentially require no additional +[2084.46 --> 2085.46] cooling. +[2085.46 --> 2089.46] Um, Intel is doing a lot of bragging lately about their phones. +[2089.46 --> 2094.46] 14 nanometer process, which they'll be using to manufacture these upcoming Broadwell Y chips. +[2094.46 --> 2099.46] And, uh, the impressive gains in performance as well as power consumption that they've made +[2099.46 --> 2100.46] over the last few years. +[2100.46 --> 2104.46] So, Core M will be a 14 nanometer chip based on Broadwell. +[2104.46 --> 2108.46] Intel claims it's twice as fast as core models that were introduced in 2010. +[2108.46 --> 2110.46] Seven times better graphics performance. +[2110.46 --> 2114.46] And with power consumption that is four times smaller. +[2114.46 --> 2118.46] So that means you could achieve double the battery life with a battery that's half the +[2118.46 --> 2119.46] capacity. +[2119.46 --> 2120.46] That's pretty beast. +[2120.46 --> 2122.46] Which is some pretty simple math, but impressive nonetheless. +[2122.46 --> 2125.46] Um, so yeah, cool. +[2125.46 --> 2127.46] We're going to see a whole new class of devices. +[2127.46 --> 2131.46] I mean, imagine this, this was something someone tweeted at me this week was what if you could +[2131.46 --> 2135.46] build a shield portable that's actually just a windows PC. +[2135.46 --> 2141.46] Like if we could get something that small that has a built in H two six four decoder. +[2141.46 --> 2143.46] So you could just run steam and home streaming. +[2144.46 --> 2145.46] That would be pretty sick actually. +[2145.46 --> 2146.46] And do a lot of other stuff. +[2146.46 --> 2147.46] And do a lot of other stuff. +[2147.46 --> 2149.46] Cause you could have a browser or you could have whatever, right? +[2149.46 --> 2154.46] So you could even view, if you wanted to be like a super, super business loser dude, +[2154.46 --> 2155.46] you could like view PowerPoints. +[2155.46 --> 2156.46] You can do whatever. +[2156.46 --> 2157.46] I view PowerPoints. +[2157.46 --> 2161.46] Sometimes PowerPoints have useful information in them. +[2161.46 --> 2162.46] I make PowerPoints. +[2162.46 --> 2167.46] So I'm kind of shooting myself in the foot as well. +[2167.46 --> 2168.46] Not that big of a deal. +[2168.46 --> 2169.46] Good. +[2169.46 --> 2170.46] I hate you. +[2170.46 --> 2174.46] I very recently pinned it to my start bar so I could see recently created items. +[2174.46 --> 2181.46] Speaking of upcoming Intel CPUs, there is an erratum or whatever you want to have. +[2181.46 --> 2183.46] I actually, I've never heard that word said out loud. +[2183.46 --> 2184.46] Okay. +[2184.46 --> 2192.46] Well the point is that Intel has had to turn off a feature called TSX that was first announced +[2192.46 --> 2194.46] back in 2012. +[2194.46 --> 2198.46] So all previous processors that have this feature are going to have it turned off with an upcoming +[2198.46 --> 2199.46] microcode update. +[2199.46 --> 2204.46] So if you update the BIOS of your motherboard, for example, to get better memory overclocking +[2204.46 --> 2206.46] or some new feature or something like that. +[2206.46 --> 2207.46] Improved stability. +[2207.46 --> 2210.46] By default, it will disable this feature, unfortunately. +[2210.46 --> 2214.46] So that stands for transactional synchronization extensions. +[2214.46 --> 2216.46] Let's just ignore that E there. +[2216.46 --> 2217.46] Yeah. +[2217.46 --> 2218.46] Yeah. +[2218.46 --> 2221.46] Don't worry too much about the E. TSX sounds much cooler. +[2221.46 --> 2223.46] As long as we don't call it TSA, then yeah. +[2223.46 --> 2224.46] Then no one will hate it. +[2224.46 --> 2225.46] It's not good. +[2225.46 --> 2230.46] I mean, it's one of those things where for most users, it's probably not that big of a deal, +[2230.46 --> 2238.46] but this was going to be really interesting in terms of multi-core processor performance over the next little while. +[2238.46 --> 2245.46] And unfortunately, with the upcoming sort of new has well, whatever we're going to, whatever, it's NDA. +[2245.46 --> 2251.46] So with the upcoming potential new platform that could be coming sometime in the future ever. +[2251.46 --> 2252.46] Well, okay. +[2252.46 --> 2253.46] We all know it's coming eventually. +[2253.46 --> 2254.46] Yeah. +[2254.46 --> 2255.46] So I haven't said anything that's not. +[2255.46 --> 2256.46] It's not too bad actually. +[2256.46 --> 2257.46] Yeah. +[2257.46 --> 2258.46] So we all know it's coming. +[2258.46 --> 2259.46] So anyway, so it won't be there for that. +[2259.46 --> 2265.46] And even the first Broadwell Y, those super low power processors, will not have it fixed yet. +[2265.46 --> 2267.46] But Intel is of course working on it. +[2267.46 --> 2269.46] So there you go. +[2269.46 --> 2272.46] To be clear guys, this kind of stuff happens all the time. +[2272.46 --> 2273.46] Yeah. +[2273.46 --> 2274.46] It happens every generation. +[2274.46 --> 2276.46] I'm not saying it's good. +[2276.46 --> 2281.46] It's super sucky that a feature that has had started to gain traction. +[2281.46 --> 2288.46] I mean, that's the thing is Intel or AMD or Nvidia or whoever is going to release a feature with a product. +[2288.46 --> 2291.46] Like let's say DirectX 10 compatibility. +[2291.46 --> 2298.46] And then they're going to get an install base of people who can support that feature. +[2298.46 --> 2303.46] And then software developers are going to get on board and create software that leverages it. +[2303.46 --> 2309.46] So this sets TSX back a generation and a half or so, which is a bummer. +[2309.46 --> 2310.46] It is. +[2310.46 --> 2314.46] But they kind of need to go through that process because no matter how much debugging you do, +[2314.46 --> 2318.46] once you get a mass install base, that's when you really see how stable your stuff is. +[2318.46 --> 2321.46] Yeah, but mostly Intel doesn't have this issue. +[2321.46 --> 2322.46] They do. +[2322.46 --> 2323.46] Mostly. +[2323.46 --> 2325.46] So there you go. +[2325.46 --> 2328.46] Alright, so speaking of... +[2328.46 --> 2330.46] Reasons to hate Ubisoft. +[2330.46 --> 2332.46] Yeah, well, okay, sure. +[2332.46 --> 2335.46] This was originally posted on the forum by Johnners. +[2335.46 --> 2339.46] And he used some pretty strong language. +[2339.46 --> 2344.46] Gee, Johnners, I don't know if that language belongs on the WAN show here. +[2344.46 --> 2348.46] Let's just go ahead and keep things somewhat PG. +[2348.46 --> 2351.46] We're going to not display that on screen right now. +[2351.46 --> 2352.46] Yeah, sounds good. +[2352.46 --> 2353.46] So... +[2353.46 --> 2354.46] Do you want to handle this one? +[2354.46 --> 2355.46] Sure, okay. +[2355.46 --> 2362.46] So Ubisoft has confirmed the presence of microtransactions during their Gamescom presentation of Assassin's +[2362.46 --> 2367.46] Creed Unity, which will essentially allow you to fast track things like upgrades. +[2367.46 --> 2371.46] Do they say anything specifically what you're going to be able to fast track in here? +[2371.46 --> 2372.46] I don't think so. +[2372.46 --> 2375.46] Yeah, it's a straightforward way to pay for in-game items. +[2375.46 --> 2382.46] So essentially, instead of doing all the work in the game to get something, you can just be like, I want it. +[2382.46 --> 2384.46] I can't... I don't know. +[2384.46 --> 2386.46] Okay, riddle me this. +[2386.46 --> 2391.46] Because I had a thought while I was looking at this article, and I had a thought. +[2391.46 --> 2392.46] One thought. +[2392.46 --> 2394.46] It's not many thoughts, mind you. +[2394.46 --> 2395.46] Um... +[2395.46 --> 2399.46] What if... +[2399.46 --> 2408.46] How far away do you think we are from someone offering an in-game microtransaction for, let's +[2408.46 --> 2410.46] say, a game like Tomb Raider? +[2410.46 --> 2412.46] Okay, so you go into an optional tomb. +[2412.46 --> 2414.46] I just finished Tomb Raider 2013. +[2414.46 --> 2416.46] There's like five optional tombs. +[2416.46 --> 2417.46] I told you, right? +[2417.46 --> 2418.46] It's like, what? +[2418.46 --> 2419.46] And each of them is like one puzzle. +[2419.46 --> 2420.46] It's really short. +[2420.46 --> 2422.46] It's like, figure out the pulley. +[2422.46 --> 2424.46] And they're like all the same. +[2424.46 --> 2428.46] It's a pretty good game, but you get to the end and you're like, what? +[2428.46 --> 2434.46] And I'm only like 60% complete, but I think that I just have to go find relics and crap. +[2434.46 --> 2435.46] I'm not gonna do that. +[2435.46 --> 2436.46] Yeah, I mean... +[2436.46 --> 2437.46] Stupid. +[2437.46 --> 2438.46] Anyway, um... +[2438.46 --> 2439.46] And the relics don't even have any significance. +[2439.46 --> 2444.46] I mean, the audio logs are kinda cool, but I already know what happened, because the +[2444.46 --> 2446.46] audio logs are just hints about what's gonna happen! +[2446.46 --> 2447.46] Anyway, anyway, anyway. +[2447.46 --> 2453.46] So, how far away do you think we are from a microtransaction where you walk into the tomb, +[2453.46 --> 2459.46] you walk into the tomb, and it's just like, press O to just have Lara just do the thing, +[2459.46 --> 2461.46] and press X to try to solve it yourself. +[2461.46 --> 2462.46] Oh, God. +[2462.46 --> 2465.46] That makes sense, because they're doing that on mobile games, right? +[2465.46 --> 2469.46] And is it really any different from buying a strategy guide? +[2469.46 --> 2470.46] Whoa! +[2470.46 --> 2472.46] That's pretty intense. +[2472.46 --> 2475.46] Now, okay, the strategy guide for Morwind... +[2475.46 --> 2476.46] Because those were like 20 bucks! +[2476.46 --> 2477.46] Yep. +[2477.46 --> 2478.46] Or more. +[2478.46 --> 2479.46] Yep, yep, yep, definitely. +[2479.46 --> 2480.46] Not cheap. +[2480.46 --> 2486.46] The strategy guide for Morwind I actually thought was pretty cool, because it was written like +[2486.46 --> 2488.46] you were kind of having a conversation. +[2488.46 --> 2489.46] Sure, but a microtransaction could be... +[2489.46 --> 2490.46] I know, I know, I know, I know. +[2490.46 --> 2493.46] Some fairy could be really well animated and be like, +[2493.46 --> 2494.46] Hello, Luke! +[2494.46 --> 2497.46] You did a really good job to pay for me to come help you solve this puzzle! +[2497.46 --> 2498.46] Can I flash my boobies for you? +[2498.46 --> 2499.46] How's your day going? +[2499.46 --> 2500.46] I can show you how to do this now! +[2500.46 --> 2501.46] Um, no, like, the reason why I liked it is you could use it to just show you where things +[2501.46 --> 2515.46] were, so you could, like, find the cave, and then you could just do it all on your own. +[2515.46 --> 2518.46] But it did also have these solutions for it. +[2518.46 --> 2519.46] Yes, it did, yes it did. +[2519.46 --> 2520.46] So there was that. +[2520.46 --> 2525.46] And you could always have, like, varying levels of microness, so you could have, like, +[2525.46 --> 2532.46] an ultra microtransaction that just reveal a nearby optional dungeon. +[2532.46 --> 2533.46] I can't beat you. +[2533.46 --> 2534.46] You're right. +[2534.46 --> 2535.46] Damn it. +[2535.46 --> 2538.46] I still like playing these guides more than... +[2538.46 --> 2540.46] Damn it! +[2540.46 --> 2544.46] So, okay, and to be clear, guys, I'm as anti-microtransaction as +[2544.46 --> 2545.46] anyone. +[2545.46 --> 2553.46] Other than buying my ship in Star Citizen, I have never purchased a microtransaction. +[2553.46 --> 2556.46] No horse armor, no jetpacks in Jetpack Joyride. +[2556.46 --> 2560.46] I earn my stuff, or I don't play the game. +[2560.46 --> 2561.46] That simple. +[2561.46 --> 2566.46] But, unfortunately, not everyone has that kind of discipline, so we have to deal with this stuff. +[2566.46 --> 2567.46] Yep. +[2567.46 --> 2568.46] And you know what? +[2568.46 --> 2572.46] If I was in Ubisoft's position, I would do exactly the same thing. +[2572.46 --> 2574.46] And you know, I'm still totally against this. +[2574.46 --> 2575.46] People want it! +[2575.46 --> 2576.46] Yeah, I know, I know. +[2576.46 --> 2577.46] They're asking for it! +[2577.46 --> 2578.46] And they'll pay for it. +[2578.46 --> 2580.46] And the people who don't want it don't have to buy it. +[2580.46 --> 2581.46] Yep. +[2581.46 --> 2582.46] So it's kind of win-win. +[2582.46 --> 2587.46] It's like, okay, realistically, are you going to not play Assassin's Creed based on this? +[2587.46 --> 2588.46] Come on! +[2588.46 --> 2589.46] Stop it! +[2589.46 --> 2591.46] It's a single-player game, right? +[2591.46 --> 2594.46] So, like, you can decide not to and you can decide not to. +[2594.46 --> 2596.46] The balance doesn't really matter. +[2596.46 --> 2597.46] It's a single-player game. +[2597.46 --> 2603.46] One thing that does bug me is if they make things unnecessarily hard just to get people +[2603.46 --> 2604.46] to pay the microtransaction. +[2604.46 --> 2606.46] Yeah, but lots of games aren't necessarily hard. +[2606.46 --> 2611.46] If anything, that would be a return to difficulty for PC gaming and a very positive step. +[2611.46 --> 2612.46] But like, BAM! +[2612.46 --> 2613.46] You just go BAM! +[2613.46 --> 2614.46] No, not necessarily. +[2614.46 --> 2616.46] Because what if it's like nigh-impossible? +[2616.46 --> 2619.46] What if they're like, oh yeah, the best sword in the game is infinite money essentially. +[2619.46 --> 2622.46] Or you can buy it for two bucks. +[2622.46 --> 2624.46] Why do you need that item? +[2624.46 --> 2626.46] Because it's the best sword in the game. +[2626.46 --> 2628.46] You're obviously going to desire it. +[2628.46 --> 2630.46] I don't, but sure. +[2630.46 --> 2635.46] But like, a lot of games are about collecting and making yourself badass. +[2635.46 --> 2636.46] If you really think about it. +[2636.46 --> 2640.46] You can beat all of Assassin's Creed with the beginner swords if you really wanted to. +[2640.46 --> 2644.46] But you want to deck yourself out with like the pistol swords and all those super badass +[2644.46 --> 2646.46] swords that you can get throughout the game. +[2646.46 --> 2654.46] One thing about it being in Assassin's Creed that I don't necessarily mind. +[2654.46 --> 2657.46] And before people would destroy me on this, I'm still totally against it. +[2657.46 --> 2661.46] But the idea, the fact that it's Assassin's Creed makes it kind of hilarious. +[2661.46 --> 2667.46] Because you can buy like the best sword from the store really early on. +[2667.46 --> 2671.46] Especially if you don't just straight plow through the main quest. +[2671.46 --> 2676.46] If you like go and do some other things, you can rack up the money to buy the best sword from the store really quickly. +[2676.46 --> 2680.46] So, I don't know. I've never really seen it as a problem. +[2680.46 --> 2685.46] Like I have a buddy who in every game he ever plays, he doesn't start the main quest right away. +[2685.46 --> 2687.46] He kind of roams around and tries to experience the game. +[2687.46 --> 2694.46] And he was able to buy the best sword from the store before he even like really started the main quest once you have free roam. +[2694.46 --> 2697.46] Of course you have to unlock free roam first by going through the main quest for a while. +[2697.46 --> 2699.46] But still, like, I don't know. +[2699.46 --> 2704.46] Items, money has never really been that hard to acquire in Assassin's Creed. +[2704.46 --> 2708.46] And you've always seemed to have insane amounts of it. +[2708.46 --> 2713.46] Even in, what was it, Brotherhood or Revelations. +[2713.46 --> 2718.46] Where like you have to buy all those shops everywhere and it's kind of this insane little game. +[2718.46 --> 2722.46] You always have abundant amounts of money and buying items was never really a problem. +[2722.46 --> 2724.46] We're going to have to tone down our Assassin's Creed discussion. +[2724.46 --> 2727.46] Apparently no one cares about Assassin's Creed. +[2727.46 --> 2730.46] Wasn't going to play it and don't care, says 40% of our audience. +[2730.46 --> 2731.46] Woah! +[2735.46 --> 2738.46] And then, so most people don't care. +[2738.46 --> 2744.46] Between wasn't going to play it and don't care and was going to play it, still going to play it. +[2744.46 --> 2747.46] That's about 70%. +[2747.46 --> 2749.46] And then another 25% of you or so... +[2749.46 --> 2751.46] This pole was like mega broken. +[2751.46 --> 2753.46] They weren't going to play it and... +[2753.46 --> 2754.46] But you're mad anyway. +[2754.46 --> 2755.46] But they didn't lose any money. +[2755.46 --> 2764.46] So a mere 8% of you were planning to play Assassin's Creed Unity and are not going to play it now because there are microtransactions in it. +[2764.46 --> 2779.46] So basically, if Ubisoft manages to increase their average sell price of the game by even 10%, and that's down to 7% now, by even 10%, then they missed out on nothing because you guys didn't play. +[2779.46 --> 2783.46] That might be pretty hard if you think about it. +[2783.46 --> 2787.46] If you think about how much money people spend on hats, a 10% increase in their... +[2787.46 --> 2791.46] Yeah, but there isn't like near infinite amount of items like there is with hats. +[2791.46 --> 2792.46] Or maybe there will be. +[2792.46 --> 2794.46] Or maybe there will be lots of different stuff. +[2794.46 --> 2795.46] I don't know. +[2795.46 --> 2796.46] We'll see. +[2796.46 --> 2797.46] Yeah. +[2797.46 --> 2802.46] You only need, you know, a few people to, you know, buy some crazy ship for 20 bucks. +[2802.46 --> 2805.46] Because at 10%, if you spend what, $6? +[2805.46 --> 2811.46] If you spend $6 in terms of buying stuff with microtransactions, you need 10 people for each replacement person. +[2811.46 --> 2812.46] Mm-hmm. +[2812.46 --> 2813.46] That's a fair amount. +[2813.46 --> 2814.46] That's a lot of microtransactions. +[2814.46 --> 2815.46] Yeah. +[2815.46 --> 2817.46] Yeah, you have to average $6 per person. +[2817.46 --> 2822.46] But then remember, there's always the crazy guys that spend 100, 200 bucks on like the best ship and the best... +[2822.46 --> 2825.46] I know, just what I'm saying was this wasn't necessarily possible. +[2825.46 --> 2828.46] There's been microtransactions in Assassin's Creed games. +[2828.46 --> 2831.46] Like that's another thing that I don't think people necessarily realize with this. +[2831.46 --> 2837.46] Like in the previous Assassin's Creed game, you could unlock the like, the quest finder thing or whatever, +[2837.46 --> 2841.46] which showed every single possible quest point on the map. +[2842.46 --> 2843.46] Right. +[2843.46 --> 2844.46] So you just go to it. +[2844.46 --> 2849.46] And like every single quest point, every single rare fishing point, every single treasure point, every single whatever, +[2849.46 --> 2850.46] it would show it all on the map. +[2850.46 --> 2854.46] Like all this kind of stuff has existed before, maybe just not in this form. +[2855.46 --> 2856.46] So, I don't know. +[2856.46 --> 2860.46] But it wouldn't have been possible to spend 200 bucks before. +[2860.46 --> 2861.46] Maybe it is now. +[2861.46 --> 2862.46] I don't know. +[2862.46 --> 2866.46] Especially because it's fast track for items, I could see it being a lot. +[2866.46 --> 2872.46] Because if you fast tracked every item, and if they made first, somehow if they made like a sequence of items, +[2872.46 --> 2875.46] instead of just being able to buy it directly from the store, then yeah. +[2877.46 --> 2878.46] Whoa. +[2878.46 --> 2881.46] Alright, so basically, here we go. +[2882.46 --> 2884.46] Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer. +[2886.46 --> 2887.46] Comments about resolution. +[2887.46 --> 2890.46] So this is from computerandvideogames.com. +[2890.46 --> 2891.46] Here we go. +[2892.46 --> 2894.46] Interview, etc, etc, etc. +[2894.46 --> 2899.46] And basically the summary is, let's just go ahead and go back to here. +[2899.46 --> 2906.46] Frame rate to me is significantly more important than resolution to gaming. +[2907.46 --> 2908.46] Okay. +[2908.46 --> 2909.46] Okay. +[2909.46 --> 2911.46] I can dig that. +[2911.46 --> 2914.46] Except that there's a threshold for both. +[2914.46 --> 2925.46] Like, if your frame rate is 23 frames per second, or like, you know, sure, let's pick on 24 frames per second, because that's not good enough for games. +[2925.46 --> 2932.46] So if your frame rate is 24 frames per second, and you're running at a resolution of 4K, I would say yes. +[2932.46 --> 2937.46] You need to tone down your resolution, you need to get that frame rate up to 30 minimum. +[2937.46 --> 2939.46] And like, hopefully a little higher. +[2939.46 --> 2940.46] 45. +[2940.46 --> 2950.46] If your frame rate is 45, and you're running at 792p, then you need to amp up that resolution, maybe settle in at 40 frames per second or something like that. +[2950.46 --> 2955.46] Like, it's a balancing game, and it's going to depend on the style of game as well. +[2955.46 --> 2962.46] For a Twitch combat type game, yeah, frame rate is going to be extremely, extremely important. +[2962.46 --> 2969.46] Whereas for a more cinematic or exploration style game like Skyrim, you are going to want apparently... +[2969.46 --> 2976.46] I know a lot of people in Skyrim that have massively sacrificed frame rate to make their game look ridiculously amazing. +[2976.46 --> 2980.46] Because you can kind of do that with mods, especially if you run Nexus instead of just Workshop. +[2980.46 --> 2982.46] So, I don't remember where I was going with this. +[2982.46 --> 2985.46] Right, okay, so another quote from the interview is, +[2985.46 --> 2988.46] Reaching parity with our partners has been important. +[2988.46 --> 2993.46] In the end, I don't want it to be about a number, because 1080p isn't some mythical perfect resolution. +[2993.46 --> 2997.46] And frame rate, to me, is significantly more important to gameplay than resolution. +[2997.46 --> 3001.46] And the mix of those two, which brings the right art style and freedom. +[3001.46 --> 3006.46] So, there are certain genres, like racing games where hitting 1080p 60fps is important and expected, +[3006.46 --> 3011.46] but there are other genres where I'd rather use the cycles to put more effects on screen, or better lighting. +[3011.46 --> 3013.46] So, basically... +[3013.46 --> 3019.46] I think he's interpreting the whole 1080p 60fps thing wrong. +[3019.46 --> 3022.46] Because he's saying, oh, 1080p isn't some mythical perfect number. +[3022.46 --> 3024.46] I don't think anyone has ever said that. +[3024.46 --> 3026.46] 1080p is a bare minimum. +[3026.46 --> 3027.46] Yes. +[3027.46 --> 3031.46] They're saying it should be at least 60fps and at least 1080p. +[3031.46 --> 3034.46] You're reading it wrong, buddy. +[3034.46 --> 3041.46] I mean, yes, I do understand that more graphical detail is nice, and it's cool, and it's good. +[3041.46 --> 3044.46] And we've proven that it's not as hard as cranking your FPS either. +[3044.46 --> 3049.46] Yeah, I think the thing that is being ignored here is just the fact that the hardware is underpowered, +[3049.46 --> 3055.46] and no amount of spin doctoring is going to change that the Xbox One just isn't powerful enough. +[3055.46 --> 3059.46] And that these next-gen consoles are either going to be the last ones ever, +[3059.46 --> 3064.46] or they're going to need to be replaced in a much shorter period of time than the last-gen ones. +[3064.46 --> 3067.46] So, something cool just arrived. +[3067.46 --> 3069.46] Dun-dun-dun-dun! +[3069.46 --> 3070.46] Dun-dun-dun-dun! +[3070.46 --> 3071.46] DDR4! +[3071.46 --> 3072.46] Dun-dun-dun-dun! +[3072.46 --> 3073.46] Dun-dun-dun-dun! +[3073.46 --> 3074.46] Dun-dun-dun-dun! +[3074.46 --> 3080.46] Although they set the wrong thing, so I'm not quite sure how to react to this. +[3080.46 --> 3083.46] This is DDR4 2800 MHz. +[3083.46 --> 3090.46] It's a 16GB 4x4 kit of vengeance... something. +[3090.46 --> 3094.46] So basically that's pretty exciting. +[3094.46 --> 3095.46] That's awkward. +[3095.46 --> 3097.46] The pieces are all kind of arriving. +[3097.46 --> 3099.46] I mean, it's no secret that there are chips out there. +[3099.46 --> 3106.46] Kulowler posted screenshots from CPU-Z of Haswell eChips running on whatever settings, +[3106.46 --> 3108.46] because he's crazy like that. +[3108.46 --> 3113.46] And yeah, so the hype train has started! +[3113.46 --> 3116.46] Of not posting screenshots of what just happened. +[3116.46 --> 3118.46] Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal. +[3118.46 --> 3120.46] That hype train didn't start. +[3120.46 --> 3124.46] Um, let me just send off a quick email, because that's not what we were supposed to get. +[3124.46 --> 3134.46] Oh, I just got a troll hangout message from Anthony from NCIX. +[3134.46 --> 3137.46] He's like, yeah, so you're getting dominators, eh? LOL! +[3137.46 --> 3139.46] Because I was supposed to. +[3139.46 --> 3145.46] I don't know what to do right now. This is awkward. +[3145.46 --> 3147.46] You could start a new topic. +[3147.46 --> 3148.46] I don't really want to. +[3148.46 --> 3149.46] You could do your job. +[3149.46 --> 3151.46] It's fun hanging out in the awkward zone. +[3151.46 --> 3152.46] In the awkward zone? +[3152.46 --> 3154.46] Yeah, this is the awkward zone. +[3154.46 --> 3156.46] Is that like how your relationships with girls are? +[3156.46 --> 3157.46] Is it all about the awkward zone? +[3157.46 --> 3158.46] Nope. +[3158.46 --> 3159.46] No? +[3159.46 --> 3162.46] It's all about the like, lasting too long. +[3162.46 --> 3163.46] I... +[3163.46 --> 3165.46] Does it get awkward? +[3165.46 --> 3171.46] That got awkward. +[3171.46 --> 3172.46] Anyways. +[3172.46 --> 3173.46] Alright, this is cool. +[3173.46 --> 3174.46] This is really cool. +[3174.46 --> 3178.46] This is the kind of thing that I think everyone can sort of geek out over, I hope. +[3178.46 --> 3181.46] So, time-lapse video. +[3181.46 --> 3182.46] Yes, this is cool. +[3182.46 --> 3183.46] A thing. +[3183.46 --> 3184.46] A thing. +[3184.46 --> 3185.46] A very cool thing. +[3185.46 --> 3189.46] This is your typical time-lapse video footage. +[3189.46 --> 3190.46] Okay. +[3190.46 --> 3191.46] Blah, blah, blah. +[3191.46 --> 3195.46] Some dude or some lady walking around doing things. +[3195.46 --> 3198.46] Okay, so here's a 10x time-lapse. +[3198.46 --> 3199.46] Super shaky. +[3199.46 --> 3200.46] Kind of hard to watch. +[3200.46 --> 3206.46] Now, Microsoft is working on a feature that will be an app-enabled feature. +[3206.46 --> 3208.46] Okay, so here's video stabilization. +[3208.46 --> 3209.46] Check this out. +[3209.46 --> 3210.46] Hyperlapse. +[3210.46 --> 3211.46] Whoa. +[3211.46 --> 3212.46] Have you not seen this yet? +[3212.46 --> 3213.46] No. +[3213.46 --> 3214.46] Yeah. +[3214.46 --> 3215.46] Wow. +[3215.46 --> 3216.46] Wow. +[3216.46 --> 3224.46] So basically the way it works is it's creating like a 3D image. +[3224.46 --> 3230.46] It's creating like a 3D scene from all of the images and then navigating through that. +[3230.46 --> 3232.46] So we can just watch these. +[3232.46 --> 3234.46] There's a hyperlapse of that. +[3234.46 --> 3235.46] So amazing. +[3235.46 --> 3237.46] I love it. +[3237.46 --> 3243.46] And then the fact that this isn't going to be, you know, a multi-thousand dollar plug-in +[3243.46 --> 3256.46] for Adobe Premiere or something like that is incredibly exciting because it enables all kinds of new creative things that people can do just with basic camera phones. +[3256.46 --> 3258.46] So the video's kind of blown up. +[3258.46 --> 3260.46] It's got almost 2 million views. +[3260.46 --> 3263.46] And so, yeah, I guess that's pretty much all I'd... +[3263.46 --> 3264.46] That's awesome. +[3264.46 --> 3266.46] I had seen this, but I hadn't... +[3266.46 --> 3273.46] Like I had seen like article titles, but this week has been so messed up that I had no time to open the article. +[3273.46 --> 3275.46] So I hadn't actually seen the video yet. +[3275.46 --> 3277.46] That's pretty epic actually. +[3277.46 --> 3281.46] And if you saw the Twitch chat during that, I'll try to zoom up. +[3281.46 --> 3282.46] Zoom up? +[3282.46 --> 3283.46] No, not at all. +[3283.46 --> 3284.46] Just... +[3284.46 --> 3285.46] Yeah. +[3285.46 --> 3286.46] Holy sheet. +[3286.46 --> 3287.46] Oh my God. +[3287.46 --> 3288.46] A whole lot of that. +[3288.46 --> 3289.46] Yeah. +[3289.46 --> 3290.46] So that was kind of awesome. +[3290.46 --> 3291.46] All right. +[3291.46 --> 3296.46] So speaking of awesome, NVIDIA announces, and this was originally posted on the forum by Patrick JP... +[3296.46 --> 3297.46] Something? +[3297.46 --> 3299.46] Patrick JP93. +[3299.46 --> 3301.46] Why is this awesome? +[3301.46 --> 3303.46] It's not awesome. +[3303.46 --> 3304.46] Okay. +[3304.46 --> 3305.46] There's some awesome things about it actually. +[3305.46 --> 3307.46] And I'm going somewhere with this. +[3307.46 --> 3308.46] Okay. +[3308.46 --> 3310.46] But NVIDIA basically announces that... +[3310.46 --> 3311.46] Wait, what the heck is this? +[3311.46 --> 3313.46] No, that's not the original poster. +[3313.46 --> 3315.46] Where's the top of this? +[3315.46 --> 3317.46] LOL touch screen. +[3317.46 --> 3318.46] Dang it touch screen, go. +[3318.46 --> 3319.46] Alright. +[3319.46 --> 3321.46] Originally posted by... +[3321.46 --> 3323.46] Why am I on the sixth page? +[3323.46 --> 3324.46] What is going on here? +[3324.46 --> 3325.46] Artorias. +[3325.46 --> 3326.46] Thank you. +[3326.46 --> 3334.46] So Jensen Huang from NVIDIA, their CEO, believes that modern graphics cards due to their importance +[3334.46 --> 3339.46] for gamers can continue to increase in ASP. +[3339.46 --> 3341.46] So ASP is the average sell price. +[3341.46 --> 3347.46] And Jensen goes on to explain that a number of years ago, gamers were typically willing to spend +[3347.46 --> 3352.46] around $200 on a GPU with a graphics card and memory attached to it. +[3352.46 --> 3357.46] And nowadays is closer to...they're willing to spend $300. +[3357.46 --> 3362.46] Now, the reaction to this article has actually been pretty negative. +[3362.46 --> 3368.46] Because I think a lot of people's perception of this is that NVIDIA is planning on jacking up prices. +[3368.46 --> 3373.46] Whereas, that's not actually the way that I read it. +[3373.46 --> 3374.46] Because we've had... +[3374.46 --> 3376.46] Maybe you're just seeing people are investing more. +[3376.46 --> 3377.46] We've had...yeah. +[3377.46 --> 3379.46] We've had higher price options this entire time. +[3379.46 --> 3383.46] So here, let's go way back in the day. +[3383.46 --> 3388.46] So I'm gonna pick on the X850 XT Platinum Edition. +[3388.46 --> 3390.46] Let's go with the card. +[3390.46 --> 3392.46] Not that many people remember. +[3392.46 --> 3396.46] Well, if you were into this stuff at that time... +[3396.46 --> 3397.46] I know, I'm just saying. +[3397.46 --> 3398.46] Then you'd remember it. +[3398.46 --> 3399.46] I'm just trolling you. +[3399.46 --> 3400.46] So way to be a jackass. +[3400.46 --> 3402.46] I'm just trolling you. +[3402.46 --> 3403.46] So here we go. +[3403.46 --> 3404.46] From Tech Report... +[3404.46 --> 3405.46] Ahhhh... +[3405.46 --> 3407.46] Da da da da da da da... +[3407.46 --> 3408.46] Da da da da da da... +[3408.46 --> 3409.46] Canadian Double Y. +[3409.46 --> 3410.46] So there it is. +[3410.46 --> 3411.46] That's what it looked like. +[3411.46 --> 3412.46] Pretty ballin'. +[3412.46 --> 3413.46] Super bad. +[3413.46 --> 3414.46] Check out that copper, though! +[3414.46 --> 3415.46] I know. +[3415.46 --> 3416.46] That copper, yo. +[3416.46 --> 3417.46] Mmmmm. +[3417.46 --> 3418.46] Alright. +[3418.46 --> 3420.46] So here is the pricing matrix. +[3420.46 --> 3421.46] Okay. +[3421.46 --> 3425.46] So an X850 XT Platinum Edition was a $550 card. +[3425.46 --> 3431.46] So, in terms of how much graphics card prices have increased in the last... +[3431.46 --> 3432.46] I mean, when was this? +[3432.46 --> 3433.46] 2004. +[3433.46 --> 3435.46] So that was 10 years ago. +[3435.46 --> 3439.46] Does 10 years worth of inflation account for... +[3439.46 --> 3442.46] Let's have a look at AMD's top of the line card today. +[3442.46 --> 3445.46] Ummmm... +[3445.46 --> 3449.46] And I'm not talking about buying two of them, because that was an option back then, too. +[3449.46 --> 3452.46] So, a top of the line R9 290X is... +[3452.46 --> 3453.46] Here we go. +[3453.46 --> 3454.46] Da da da da! +[3454.46 --> 3455.46] $549.99. +[3455.46 --> 3459.46] And look at all just the raw material that's increased since then, too. +[3459.46 --> 3460.46] Yeah. +[3460.46 --> 3462.46] I mean, the actual copper is more expensive at this point. +[3462.46 --> 3466.46] Not to mention how much more complicated it is to manufacture graphics cards. +[3466.46 --> 3467.46] Yeah. +[3467.46 --> 3469.46] Now, I'm not just gonna pick on AMD here. +[3469.46 --> 3475.46] Let's go ahead and find something sort of equally... equally kind of over the top for its time. +[3475.46 --> 3476.46] Yeah. +[3476.46 --> 3477.46] The 8800 Ultra. +[3477.46 --> 3481.46] So, this was back in 2007. +[3481.46 --> 3487.46] So, we're gonna pick on Guru3D's review this time, where hopefully they have the pricing on the first page. +[3487.46 --> 3488.46] No, they don't. +[3488.46 --> 3489.46] So, let's go on. +[3489.46 --> 3490.46] Tech report. +[3490.46 --> 3491.46] Okay. +[3491.46 --> 3492.46] Ultra graphics card. +[3492.46 --> 3496.46] This is what I love about these guys who've been doing it forever. +[3496.46 --> 3497.46] Scott Lawson, man! +[3497.46 --> 3500.46] Doing it for a long time. +[3500.46 --> 3503.46] And their pictures and articles are identical. +[3503.46 --> 3504.46] I know. +[3504.46 --> 3506.46] It's that consistent experience, man. +[3506.46 --> 3507.46] Yep. +[3507.46 --> 3508.46] Where is the price item? +[3508.46 --> 3510.46] Come on, Scott! +[3510.46 --> 3512.46] Your help... +[3512.46 --> 3513.46] Yeah. +[3513.46 --> 3518.46] The graphics card performance crown is rarely available for $8888 at Walmart, but the Ultra's +[3518.46 --> 3523.46] value proposition is something something, and he doesn't actually include the price on +[3523.46 --> 3524.46] the conclusion page. +[3524.46 --> 3528.46] He says it's like $200 more, but doesn't say what the price is. +[3528.46 --> 3529.46] Some other thing. +[3529.46 --> 3531.46] Dagnabbit, Scott. +[3531.46 --> 3533.46] Trying to do a thing here. +[3533.46 --> 3534.46] Alright. +[3534.46 --> 3536.46] It's blah blah blah. +[3536.46 --> 3537.46] It's blah blah blah. +[3537.46 --> 3538.46] It's blah blah blah. +[3538.46 --> 3539.46] It's blah blah blah. +[3539.46 --> 3540.46] Ah, here we go! +[3540.46 --> 3547.46] NVIDIA expects Ultra prices to start at roughly $829. +[3547.46 --> 3550.46] This crap isn't new! +[3550.46 --> 3553.46] So, I don't interpret... +[3553.46 --> 3559.46] I don't interpret NVIDIA's statement that they expect graphics card average selling prices +[3559.46 --> 3564.46] to continue to increase as a statement that they plan to increase pricing. +[3564.46 --> 3568.46] Because if we go and look at the 780 Ti, which is... +[3568.46 --> 3569.46] I'm excluding the Titan. +[3569.46 --> 3571.46] Titan is not a gaming card. +[3571.46 --> 3576.46] If we go and look at the 780 Ti, the highest end actual gaming graphics card from NVIDIA +[3576.46 --> 3579.46] now is priced at $720. +[3579.46 --> 3581.46] So there you go! +[3581.46 --> 3583.46] It hasn't really changed a whole lot. +[3583.46 --> 3588.46] People are just realizing, and this is part of the whole statement, people are just realizing +[3588.46 --> 3593.46] that, you know, games benefit from these higher end graphics cards. +[3593.46 --> 3599.46] And you can throw like a not super amazing CPU and a super badass graphics card at the solution, +[3599.46 --> 3602.46] and most games will grab that and run. +[3602.46 --> 3605.46] And $300 as an average sell price isn't that bad. +[3605.46 --> 3608.46] I mean, you can get a really great card for $300. +[3608.46 --> 3612.46] And that's true on both the AMD and the NVIDIA side right now. +[3612.46 --> 3617.46] And yes, some crazy guys are gonna run out and buy two Titan Zs for $6,000. +[3617.46 --> 3619.46] But that doesn't mean that you have to be a part of it. +[3619.46 --> 3625.46] And just because that product exists doesn't mean that NVIDIA ever expects people to spend $6,000 on their graphics card. +[3625.46 --> 3631.46] They might not be super amazing at their whole marketing thing, and they might say it's a gaming card, but it's not. +[3631.46 --> 3639.46] But it's not. And the reality of it is, if you made the product and someone was bananas enough to buy it, +[3639.46 --> 3641.46] would you not provide an option for them? +[3641.46 --> 3643.46] I'd be down with that. I don't know. Whatever. +[3643.46 --> 3648.46] I mean, NVIDIA within their own product lineup provides better values. +[3648.46 --> 3657.46] Yes. You could buy, you could pick up, you could pick up three GTX 780 6GB cards. +[3657.46 --> 3661.46] That would be the extreme gaming option of choice. +[3661.46 --> 3666.46] You know, if you absolutely had to have the most bananas thing, and that would cost you just over, +[3666.46 --> 3671.46] that would cost you around $1,700, $1,800 or so. +[3671.46 --> 3679.46] Less than the price of one Titan Z, and would absolutely demolish at least one in terms of performance. +[3679.46 --> 3682.46] It would probably beat two, given how much lower a Titan Z is clocked. +[3682.46 --> 3687.46] So, yeah. Just because these things exist doesn't mean we have to buy them. +[3687.46 --> 3689.46] Yeah. Yeah, exactly. +[3689.46 --> 3692.46] People are like, I could buy a car. Yes, you could buy a car, but we're talking about gamers. +[3692.46 --> 3696.46] Oh, actually, here's an interesting addition from Ghost. +[3696.46 --> 3699.46] Inflation over the last 10 years has been 26%. +[3699.46 --> 3704.46] So the fact that AMD's top of the line GPU cost exactly the same as their top of the line GPU from back then, +[3704.46 --> 3709.46] is actually pretty darn impressive, and is a reduction in price. +[3709.46 --> 3717.46] Speaking of AMD, AMD is hoping to put a little bit of mantle into the next OpenGL sort of development. +[3717.46 --> 3724.46] So they've actually provided, I believe, they've given the, yeah, they've given Kronos unfettered access to mantle. +[3724.46 --> 3733.46] This was originally posted by Monster Cameron, and this is news coming from Richard Huddy, AMD's gaming scientist. +[3733.46 --> 3739.46] We actually had an opportunity to interview him, but it was while I was gone, having a baby. +[3739.46 --> 3742.46] And I knew you were going to be busy, so I kind of bailed on it. +[3742.46 --> 3743.46] Yeah. Yeah. +[3743.46 --> 3744.46] But yeah, that's extremely exciting. +[3744.46 --> 3749.46] So AMD will impose no restrictions, nor will it charge any licensing fees. +[3749.46 --> 3752.46] And they're basically just saying, here, this is how we do it. +[3752.46 --> 3755.46] If you want to take the same approach, go ahead. +[3755.46 --> 3772.46] So to me, this is basically the nail in the coffin on mantle, because why would anyone support mantle when they can just, if, if Kronos decides to go ahead and implement some of mantle's great features into OpenGL, OpenGL is going to be the way to go. +[3772.46 --> 3774.46] Because it's multi-platform. +[3774.46 --> 3775.46] Yeah. +[3775.46 --> 3776.46] I mean, it's good. +[3776.46 --> 3778.46] It runs on tablets. +[3778.46 --> 3783.46] And I seriously don't see NVIDIA going, oh, we don't want to use OpenGL. +[3783.46 --> 3785.46] Like, no, that's, no. +[3785.46 --> 3786.46] Yeah. +[3786.46 --> 3789.46] So, I mean, mantle, it was cool while it lasted. +[3789.46 --> 3790.46] Yep. +[3790.46 --> 3793.46] But, and, and, and it's just like G-Sync. +[3793.46 --> 3795.46] You know, it was cool while it lasted. +[3795.46 --> 3800.46] You know, maybe you sold a couple graphics cards based on getting a bit better performance out of Battlefield 4. +[3800.46 --> 3812.46] But at the end of the day, if the purpose of this was to drive the industry towards creating this, and if you're going to stop really getting any monetary benefit out of it at all in the future, then I say, great. +[3812.46 --> 3815.46] You know, I'm glad that you sold a couple graphics cards in the meantime. +[3815.46 --> 3822.46] Or NVIDIA, I'm glad you sold a couple monitors in the meantime because someone had to invest to make this happen. +[3822.46 --> 3825.46] And I'm glad someone did it and I'm glad they got paid. +[3825.46 --> 3826.46] That's all I have to say. +[3826.46 --> 3827.46] Right. +[3827.46 --> 3829.46] That's cool. +[3829.46 --> 3833.46] Twitter admits that 23 million of its users, of its active users, are automated. +[3833.46 --> 3835.46] I don't even know if I care, though. +[3835.46 --> 3836.46] Did we assume this? +[3836.46 --> 3838.46] Yeah, there's so many and they're pretty cool. +[3838.46 --> 3842.46] Like, well, okay, Stats Canada isn't a bot, but that's a pretty awesome one. +[3842.46 --> 3844.46] There's the Is Half-Life 3 out yet? +[3844.46 --> 3846.46] Which just constantly says no. +[3846.46 --> 3851.46] There's Big Ben, which goes like bong, bong, bong whenever Big Ben would go off. +[3851.46 --> 3852.46] I don't know. +[3852.46 --> 3853.46] There's a lot of bots. +[3853.46 --> 3856.46] There's even like social experiment bots and there's, yeah, there's tons of stuff. +[3856.46 --> 3857.46] I don't know. +[3857.46 --> 3859.46] I wouldn't worry about it too much. +[3859.46 --> 3861.46] Not exactly surprising news at all. +[3861.46 --> 3864.46] But it is kind of cool to see the exact number or an estimation of the exact number. +[3864.46 --> 3867.46] Yeah, 8.5% is what they figure of total Twitter users. +[3867.46 --> 3868.46] Okay, that's a lot. +[3868.46 --> 3870.46] Yeah, kind of. +[3870.46 --> 3872.46] Oh, this is cool. +[3872.46 --> 3877.46] The Sony Xperia Z2 lives on after being submerged in saltwater for six weeks. +[3877.46 --> 3878.46] Yeah. +[3878.46 --> 3879.46] So, oh, okay, hold on. +[3879.46 --> 3882.46] Mango Juice Stain was the OP for that Twitter thing. +[3882.46 --> 3883.46] Mango. +[3883.46 --> 3891.46] And then Lars Reviews was the original poster for the Sony Xperia Z2 article that is amazing. +[3891.46 --> 3893.46] Here, do you want to run through the details of this one? +[3893.46 --> 3896.46] We have 6,400 live viewers right now. +[3896.46 --> 3897.46] We do. +[3897.46 --> 3898.46] What the heck? +[3898.46 --> 3900.46] And I didn't have any time to read the doc this week. +[3900.46 --> 3901.46] That's absolutely bananas. +[3901.46 --> 3902.46] It's okay. +[3902.46 --> 3903.46] I'm prepping this week. +[3903.46 --> 3904.46] Was it an ocean? +[3904.46 --> 3905.46] That's cool. +[3905.46 --> 3906.46] Yeah. +[3906.46 --> 3907.46] I thought they got like a bucket of saltwater. +[3907.46 --> 3908.46] Oh, for crying out loud. +[3908.46 --> 3909.46] I haven't read the doc. +[3909.46 --> 3910.46] I told you. +[3910.46 --> 3911.46] I'll cover it. +[3911.46 --> 3912.46] Just throw it in the ocean. +[3912.46 --> 3919.46] Basically what happened was the way that Sony rates the phone is for 30 minutes of submersion +[3919.46 --> 3923.46] in fresh water as deep as five feet. +[3923.46 --> 3924.46] That's it. +[3924.46 --> 3925.46] Yeah. +[3925.46 --> 3929.46] That's what the IP rating for the phone says that it can handle. +[3929.46 --> 3938.46] Now, what happened here was that while water skiing, Mr. Alexandre Maxsen, I guess, from +[3938.46 --> 3939.46] Gothenburg. +[3939.46 --> 3940.46] Okay. +[3940.46 --> 3941.46] I don't know what language that is then. +[3941.46 --> 3942.46] I was assuming it was French. +[3942.46 --> 3943.46] It's not. +[3943.46 --> 3947.46] Was water skiing and left his Sony Xperia Z2 on the seat of the boat. +[3947.46 --> 3952.46] Once the craft started, the phone fell into the sea and was into the seabed more than +[3952.46 --> 3953.46] 10 meters deep. +[3953.46 --> 3956.46] So for our American viewers, that is 30 feet deep. +[3956.46 --> 3957.46] Whoa. +[3957.46 --> 3958.46] Yeah, dog. +[3958.46 --> 3960.46] That is six times the rated depth. +[3960.46 --> 3963.46] And that's legit like all the gunk that's in the ocean too. +[3963.46 --> 3964.46] Yeah. +[3964.46 --> 3965.46] Six weeks later. +[3965.46 --> 3967.46] And salt is a corrosion problem. +[3967.46 --> 3968.46] Yeah. +[3968.46 --> 3971.46] Six weeks later, a friend of his went scuba diving and retrieved it. +[3971.46 --> 3972.46] Probably just for lols. +[3972.46 --> 3973.46] Yeah. +[3973.46 --> 3975.46] I don't think anyone was expecting it to work. +[3975.46 --> 3979.46] Although he did try calling it and noticed that it didn't go straight to voicemail and +[3979.46 --> 3980.46] therefore assumed it was still on. +[3980.46 --> 3986.46] But that's not necessarily the case because we've played around with the original Xperia +[3986.46 --> 3990.46] Z and even under a couple feet of water, wireless reception is not too great. +[3990.46 --> 3992.46] So it could have been anything causing that. +[3992.46 --> 3994.46] Anyway, so six weeks later, retrieved it. +[3994.46 --> 3999.46] The back glass was shattered, but probably from the fall and the battery had completely +[3999.46 --> 4001.46] recharged, probably from just sitting there for six weeks. +[4001.46 --> 4006.46] But the LED indicator lit up and when the phone was plugged in and recharged, it worked +[4006.46 --> 4008.46] perfectly even making phone calls. +[4008.46 --> 4009.46] Beast. +[4009.46 --> 4010.46] That's pretty cool. +[4010.46 --> 4011.46] Wait, from the fall? +[4011.46 --> 4014.46] So did it hit like the boat and then fall in the water? +[4014.46 --> 4015.46] Well, it must have. +[4015.46 --> 4021.46] Remember, a metal object falling 30 feet in the water, if it's somewhat streamlined, +[4021.46 --> 4022.46] that's true. +[4022.46 --> 4023.46] That's true. +[4023.46 --> 4024.46] Yeah. +[4024.46 --> 4025.46] It'll come down pretty good. +[4025.46 --> 4026.46] Yeah. +[4026.46 --> 4027.46] So that's probably what happened. +[4027.46 --> 4028.46] Incredible. +[4028.46 --> 4034.46] I mean, the Xperia Z was a phone that I really had a hard time recommending because that TN +[4034.46 --> 4036.46] screen was bad. +[4036.46 --> 4041.46] And on a phone where you might be looking at it from an angle all the time where it's +[4041.46 --> 4045.46] just like, oh yeah, you know, whatever, I'm just glancing at it on the table. +[4045.46 --> 4046.46] That is a big problem. +[4046.46 --> 4052.46] Whereas the Z2, IPS panel, great specs, great build quality. +[4052.46 --> 4053.46] What a great phone. +[4053.46 --> 4058.46] Next up we have Microsoft possibly renaming Internet Explorer. +[4058.46 --> 4062.46] Apparently they've been discussing it for a long time, kicking around names, so that's +[4062.46 --> 4063.46] not super surprising. +[4063.46 --> 4064.46] You should call it Steve. +[4064.46 --> 4066.46] Or Bill. +[4066.46 --> 4067.46] Microsoft Bill. +[4067.46 --> 4068.46] Yeah. +[4068.46 --> 4073.46] I know what you're referencing with that, but just having like Microsoft Bill and having +[4073.46 --> 4078.46] the icon just be money would troll so many people because of the Microsoft logo with +[4078.46 --> 4084.46] the dollar sign as the S. Or yeah, just have the Microsoft dollar sign as the S, but name +[4084.46 --> 4087.46] it Bill, because that makes no sense, but who cares. +[4087.46 --> 4090.46] And then make the S like coded in like money texture. +[4090.46 --> 4092.46] Just be like, sup. +[4092.46 --> 4093.46] Terrible. +[4093.46 --> 4096.46] You know, I think that, I think it's a great idea. +[4096.46 --> 4101.46] I think they need to do it at some point, but what I think they need to do is make sure, +[4101.46 --> 4103.46] because Internet Explorer is not that bad right now. +[4103.46 --> 4105.46] It's had a lot of improvement. +[4105.46 --> 4109.46] It's been a lot worse at times in its past, but they've got to get it there. +[4109.46 --> 4110.46] Yeah. +[4110.46 --> 4113.46] They've got to be, because I mean, that was what worked so well for Google. +[4113.46 --> 4115.46] They launched Chrome when Chrome was good. +[4115.46 --> 4121.46] Chrome has a lot of issues now, but it still has that perception that it's really fast and +[4121.46 --> 4122.46] really lightweight. +[4122.46 --> 4124.46] It's not lightweight at all anymore. +[4124.46 --> 4125.46] No, it's not. +[4125.46 --> 4126.46] It's heavy as hell. +[4126.46 --> 4127.46] Like at all. +[4127.46 --> 4131.46] So what they need to do, if they're going to reimagine Internet Explorer, now's a good +[4131.46 --> 4134.46] time, because everything else is kind of loaded. +[4134.46 --> 4135.46] Yeah. +[4135.46 --> 4136.46] And like having a lot of issues. +[4136.46 --> 4137.46] And having issues. +[4137.46 --> 4143.46] So if they were to call it Microsoft something else and create a new perception of the product, +[4143.46 --> 4144.46] it'll be great. +[4144.46 --> 4150.46] If they just take Internet Explorer and reskin it in a way that is undesirable and crappy, +[4150.46 --> 4153.46] and it doesn't stack up well right at the time of launch, then it's going to be the whole +[4153.46 --> 4155.46] same thing all over again. +[4155.46 --> 4158.46] Apparently they briefly considered Ultron, which would have been badass. +[4158.46 --> 4159.46] Ultron. +[4159.46 --> 4161.46] Let me fire up Ultron. +[4161.46 --> 4163.46] Go on Reddit. +[4163.46 --> 4165.46] But lawyers said no. +[4165.46 --> 4167.46] So that got shot. +[4167.46 --> 4168.46] Ultron lawyers are no fun. +[4168.46 --> 4169.46] Jerks. +[4169.46 --> 4171.46] Absolute jerks. +[4171.46 --> 4172.46] All right. +[4172.46 --> 4177.46] Speaking of jerks, anyone who likes micro USB. +[4177.46 --> 4178.46] Boom. +[4178.46 --> 4179.46] I said it. +[4179.46 --> 4182.46] This is posted by Goodbytes on the forum. +[4182.46 --> 4187.46] The USB type C cable and connectors are finalized. +[4187.46 --> 4190.46] And here are renders of what they'll look like. +[4190.46 --> 4193.46] So here's what receptacles will look like. +[4193.46 --> 4196.46] Here's what plugs and cables will look like. +[4196.46 --> 4199.46] Here is the most important thing about this. +[4199.46 --> 4200.46] Well, actually, there's a lot of really important stuff here. +[4200.46 --> 4202.46] So number one, reversible. +[4202.46 --> 4205.46] No more putting your head around the back of your computer and trying to figure out which +[4205.46 --> 4206.46] way it goes in. +[4206.46 --> 4207.46] Yay! +[4207.46 --> 4212.46] It also, it looks slimmer, although it's hard for me to say that just based on a picture. +[4212.46 --> 4217.46] The next cool stuff is it's going to support the new 10 gigabit per second standard. +[4217.46 --> 4218.46] Yay! +[4218.46 --> 4221.46] Is this going to be super thin and fragile though? +[4221.46 --> 4222.46] No, I doubt it. +[4222.46 --> 4223.46] Looking at it. +[4223.46 --> 4224.46] Like a micro? +[4224.46 --> 4225.46] I don't know. +[4225.46 --> 4226.46] I guess we'll see. +[4226.46 --> 4227.46] I guess we'll see. +[4227.46 --> 4230.46] It doesn't look like a locking connector, which is a little bit disappointing. +[4230.46 --> 4231.46] I wouldn't have minded if there was an optional lock. +[4231.46 --> 4232.46] There may be an optional lock. +[4232.46 --> 4233.46] I don't know. +[4233.46 --> 4234.46] I haven't looked into that much. +[4234.46 --> 4237.46] But the next cool thing is up to 100 watts of power. +[4237.46 --> 4238.46] Yes. +[4238.46 --> 4239.46] That is cool. +[4239.46 --> 4241.46] So we're going to be talking about... +[4241.46 --> 4245.46] We've actually kind of seen that a little bit on a slightly different spec, but at CES +[4245.46 --> 4247.46] I did a video on that. +[4247.46 --> 4249.46] That was really cool. +[4249.46 --> 4253.46] So we're going to be talking about being able to run like a multi-hard drive external +[4253.46 --> 4255.46] enclosure off of this thing. +[4255.46 --> 4257.46] Or running your monitor. +[4257.46 --> 4258.46] Yeah. +[4258.46 --> 4259.46] Very cool. +[4259.46 --> 4260.46] Very, very cool. +[4260.46 --> 4261.46] 100 watts is a lot. +[4261.46 --> 4262.46] Yeah. +[4262.46 --> 4268.46] One thing that they were trying to do with that 100 watt spec when I was at CES was power +[4268.46 --> 4272.46] a screen, charge a laptop, and run everything else on it at the same time. +[4272.46 --> 4273.46] Right. +[4273.46 --> 4275.46] Because it was so fast and pushed power. +[4275.46 --> 4276.46] Pretty cool. +[4276.46 --> 4277.46] All right. +[4277.46 --> 4280.46] Metal Gear Solid 5 coming to PC. +[4280.46 --> 4282.46] That's pretty exciting news. +[4282.46 --> 4286.46] So Konami says, yes, that will happen. +[4286.46 --> 4289.46] I guess that's pretty much all there is to really say about this. +[4289.46 --> 4290.46] Yes. +[4290.46 --> 4293.46] I think Total Biscuit actually probably put this best. +[4293.46 --> 4294.46] Yeah. +[4294.46 --> 4299.46] Because the other big news in terms of, you know, former exclusive titles was Goat Simulator +[4299.46 --> 4301.46] coming to consoles. +[4301.46 --> 4302.46] So there you go. +[4302.46 --> 4304.46] Thank you Total Biscuit for summing this up. +[4304.46 --> 4307.46] So we traded Goat Simulator to consoles for Metal Gear Solid 5 on PC. +[4307.46 --> 4309.46] Got out like a bandit there, didn't we? +[4309.46 --> 4310.46] Yes. +[4310.46 --> 4311.46] Yes. +[4311.46 --> 4313.46] PC gamers got the better end of that deal. +[4313.46 --> 4315.46] Considering how horrible Goat Simulator is. +[4315.46 --> 4318.46] Like, I'm sorry, but God, that game is bad. +[4318.46 --> 4319.46] It's so bad. +[4319.46 --> 4322.46] And like for being bad, it wasn't even very good at being like funny bad. +[4322.46 --> 4324.46] It was just kind of bad. +[4324.46 --> 4325.46] I don't know. +[4325.46 --> 4327.46] Oh, man. +[4327.46 --> 4331.46] But we lost a multi-platform game potentially. +[4331.46 --> 4335.46] I'm very disappointed about this. +[4335.46 --> 4336.46] Temporarily. +[4336.46 --> 4337.46] Temporarily. +[4337.46 --> 4338.46] Well, yeah. +[4338.46 --> 4339.46] But yes. +[4339.46 --> 4340.46] I would like to have it sooner. +[4340.46 --> 4344.46] I finally, mind you, at the rate that I finish games, given that I just played Tomb Raider +[4344.46 --> 4346.46] 2013, this might not affect me at all. +[4346.46 --> 4349.46] You won't play until it's released. +[4349.46 --> 4354.46] Then we'll probably get it for benchmarking anyways, and then you'll just play it the day. +[4354.46 --> 4360.46] So the upcoming Tomb Raider with the reimagined Lara Croft is going to be an Xbox One exclusive +[4360.46 --> 4361.46] at launch. +[4361.46 --> 4362.46] Dun, dun, dun. +[4362.46 --> 4365.46] Not a ton else to say there. +[4365.46 --> 4366.46] There's going to be a delay. +[4366.46 --> 4369.46] I believe they said after holiday season it might be coming to PC. +[4369.46 --> 4372.46] I don't remember what the exact time frame is though. +[4372.46 --> 4374.46] I don't know where we even are in the dock now. +[4374.46 --> 4376.46] I guess we can try and find it. +[4376.46 --> 4377.46] There we go. +[4377.46 --> 4380.46] The game is coming holiday 2015 exclusively to Xbox. +[4380.46 --> 4383.46] It is unclear how long the exclusivity will last. +[4383.46 --> 4385.46] So now we know it's at least coming. +[4385.46 --> 4387.46] We're just not really sure when. +[4387.46 --> 4388.46] Which is kind of unfortunate. +[4388.46 --> 4391.46] Apparently DayZ is going to PS4. +[4391.46 --> 4396.46] I know Rocket 2 Guns or whatever, I think that's what he refers to himself as. +[4396.46 --> 4398.46] Rocket 2 Guns in the past. +[4398.46 --> 4399.46] Posted by Jamdude. +[4399.46 --> 4400.46] Posted by Jamdude. +[4400.46 --> 4402.46] Yeah, Rocket 2 Guns or Dean Hall. +[4402.46 --> 4406.46] In the past has kind of mashed consoles a little bit. +[4406.46 --> 4407.46] Not a ton but a little bit. +[4407.46 --> 4409.46] There's a tweet here. +[4409.46 --> 4411.46] If you jump back real quick. +[4411.46 --> 4412.46] Yeah. +[4412.46 --> 4413.46] Excuse me. +[4413.46 --> 4414.46] Sorry. +[4414.46 --> 4415.46] No problem. +[4415.46 --> 4416.46] I'm tired. +[4416.46 --> 4417.46] It's been a long week. +[4417.46 --> 4419.46] I was just going to say I think we're both pretty tired this week. +[4419.46 --> 4420.46] Ummmmmmmmmmm. +[4420.46 --> 4421.46] Yeah. +[4421.46 --> 4422.46] No. +[4422.46 --> 4423.46] I see the one. +[4423.46 --> 4424.46] Yeah. +[4424.46 --> 4429.46] So, some guy says PS4 next release please. +[4429.46 --> 4432.46] Slightly different wording but yeah. +[4432.46 --> 4435.46] And then another guy, unnamed guy, says, +[4435.46 --> 4438.46] It hasn't even been fully released on a glorious PC. +[4438.46 --> 4440.46] What are you expecting, peasant? +[4440.46 --> 4443.46] And then Dean Hall, also known as Rocket 2 Guns, responds, +[4443.46 --> 4444.46] Yes! +[4444.46 --> 4445.46] Quiet consoles! +[4445.46 --> 4446.46] The men folk are talking! +[4446.46 --> 4448.46] So, he has bashed consoles a little bit in the past. +[4448.46 --> 4452.46] But then has claimed on Reddit, I believe it was, +[4452.46 --> 4456.46] That getting it on the consoles might help funding to get other things. +[4456.46 --> 4461.46] So, essentially, stuff like DirectX 11 and 64-bit support. +[4461.46 --> 4463.46] So, I don't know. +[4463.46 --> 4470.46] Apparently they used a little bit of the PC funding to get their PlayStation agreement thing going on. +[4470.46 --> 4472.46] So, that's kinda sketchy. +[4472.46 --> 4475.46] But that's what happens when you pre-order early release games. +[4475.46 --> 4479.46] Yeah, we really need to make that shirt but the early designs for it are terrible. +[4479.46 --> 4480.46] Oh. +[4480.46 --> 4481.46] Did you see them? +[4481.46 --> 4482.46] No. +[4482.46 --> 4483.46] I paid full price for this shh. +[4483.46 --> 4484.46] I didn't see it. +[4484.46 --> 4485.46] Yeah, no, it's terrible. +[4485.46 --> 4488.46] Okay, so the creator of pop-up ads is Sorry. +[4488.46 --> 4491.46] This was originally posted on the forum by Victoria's Secret. +[4491.46 --> 4494.46] It's actually kind of a funny little thing. +[4494.46 --> 4495.46] Okay, thank you. +[4495.46 --> 4496.46] Continue. +[4496.46 --> 4497.46] Thank you. +[4498.46 --> 4499.46] Warning, annoying pop-up. +[4499.46 --> 4501.46] Ethan Zuckerman is Sorry. +[4502.46 --> 4507.46] He leads the Center for Civic Media at MIT, says he didn't realize what he was bringing into the world +[4507.46 --> 4512.46] when he wrote the code for the first pop-up ad more than 20 years ago. +[4512.46 --> 4513.46] Oh, God. +[4513.46 --> 4518.46] So, it tells the story of how it happened in an exquisite essay about how the ad-based business model came to dominate the internet +[4518.46 --> 4522.46] and why it really shouldn't and what we ought to do about it. +[4522.46 --> 4531.46] But basically, what happened was they were in the middle of working on something and they... +[4531.46 --> 4539.46] What happened was there was an inappropriate ad that was encouraging anal sex or something like that on a car manufacturer's website +[4539.46 --> 4546.46] and they went, whoa, hold on a second, like, you know, ads are good but we don't want to be associated with this. +[4546.46 --> 4552.46] So, the idea was if it was a pop-up, it wouldn't be associated with the website and it wouldn't actually have to be on the website. +[4552.46 --> 4554.46] It would be separate. +[4554.46 --> 4562.46] So, it would allow advertisers and content hosts to dissociate each other from each other. +[4562.46 --> 4565.46] So, that was the intention. +[4565.46 --> 4571.46] Yeah, and he just says, I'm sorry, our intentions were good. +[4571.46 --> 4574.46] Sorry, man, but... +[4574.46 --> 4575.46] I don't know. +[4575.46 --> 4576.46] Yeah. +[4576.46 --> 4580.46] You didn't see that going anywhere bad. +[4580.46 --> 4587.46] Well, okay, you think about the way that you might sort of kludge something just as a temporary fix. +[4587.46 --> 4588.46] I guess, yeah, just for yourself. +[4588.46 --> 4590.46] Do you really think about the long-term implications? +[4590.46 --> 4592.46] And then someone was probably able to jack that code. +[4592.46 --> 4595.46] So, he probably was like, I'm making this for me. +[4595.46 --> 4597.46] And someone was like, I'm taking this for me. +[4597.46 --> 4598.46] It is mine now. +[4598.46 --> 4600.46] And then that was bad. +[4600.46 --> 4603.46] Yeah, super, super, super bad. +[4603.46 --> 4606.46] Okay, I just gotta do a quick search for a hashtag here because... +[4606.46 --> 4607.46] Oh, right. +[4607.46 --> 4608.46] Yeah, that makes sense. +[4608.46 --> 4612.46] We have a Squarespace subscription to give away today. +[4612.46 --> 4613.46] Hooray! +[4613.46 --> 4621.46] Alright, so I'm searching for hashtag LinusSquarespace and I think we might have a hashtag. +[4621.46 --> 4622.46] Oh no! +[4622.46 --> 4623.46] Oh! +[4623.46 --> 4624.46] Okay. +[4624.46 --> 4625.46] Is this a thing? +[4625.46 --> 4626.46] I don't know. +[4626.46 --> 4627.46] It's a trial website. +[4627.46 --> 4628.46] Hooray! +[4628.46 --> 4629.46] Yay! +[4629.46 --> 4630.46] There we go. +[4630.46 --> 4634.46] Okay, so I had to enter some like, some login thing. +[4634.46 --> 4635.46] So, TechPrints. +[4635.46 --> 4636.46] Thetechprints. +[4636.46 --> 4637.46] Squarespace. +[4637.46 --> 4638.46] com. +[4638.46 --> 4640.46] You just won because your website right here... +[4640.46 --> 4641.46] Hold on a second. +[4641.46 --> 4642.46] There you go. +[4642.46 --> 4645.46] Your website right here that you created with a website. +[4645.46 --> 4646.46] You just won. +[4646.46 --> 4647.46] Because your website right here, hold on a second. +[4647.46 --> 4648.46] I don't see you... +[4648.46 --> 4649.46] There you go. +[4649.46 --> 4655.16] website right here that you created with Squarespace is now yours for free for a +[4655.16 --> 4659.36] year. So this is the beauty of Squarespace. Even people who don't know a +[4659.36 --> 4665.22] whole lot about creating websites can make a you know kind of flashy effects. +[4665.22 --> 4669.02] This one scrolls faster than the other thing. Nice looking website with +[4669.02 --> 4673.70] functional navigation. There you go. You just go ahead and check that out. Look, +[4673.70 --> 4679.88] he has a diamond because he's a prince. Well, okay, whatever. Is Linus Tech Tips +[4679.88 --> 4689.96] any less stupid than the tech prince? Really? No. What's our company name? So guys, +[4689.96 --> 4695.72] just as a reminder, create yourself a trial Squarespace account. Use hashtag +[4695.72 --> 4703.08] Linus Squarespace and every month we give away a Squarespace account on the WAN +[4703.08 --> 4706.56] show. So if you don't know what Squarespace is, guys, it is the easy, +[4706.56 --> 4711.12] scalable, affordable way to create your own beautiful website. No offense to the +[4711.12 --> 4717.30] tech prince, but I don't think he's exactly a web design guru. But Squarespace +[4717.30 --> 4723.06] allows pretty much anyone with simple tools to design a logo, to design a website, +[4723.06 --> 4727.44] to create their navigation, and to have it up on the web hosted by Squarespace for +[4727.44 --> 4731.34] you. And if you pay for an entire year, by the way you can save 10% with our offer +[4731.34 --> 4734.82] code. If you pay for an entire year at a time, they'll even throw in the first year +[4734.82 --> 4739.38] of your domain name. So they do all the hosting, they handle everything, and it's +[4739.38 --> 4744.48] just there, and it just works. We've even tried to crash our own Squarespace site, +[4744.48 --> 4753.72] LinusMediaGroup.com, and we've never successfully been able to do it. Although, we have more viewers than ever before on the WAN show. Should we try to take it down? +[4753.72 --> 4757.20] Let's see if we can take it down. And that's not even as many as we have. We're over 6,500. +[4757.20 --> 4769.20] We're over 6,500. Okay. So guys, it's LinusMediaGroup.com. So we're gonna, we're gonna stress test Squarespace here. Guys, hit it! Hit it! Hit LinusMediaGroup.com with everything you got! +[4769.20 --> 4780.72] Drink all your rage-a-haul. Yeah, exactly. So let's see. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna keep refreshing here. I'm gonna see, uh, see if we, see if it can handle it. Oh, it slowed down a little bit that time. So guys, Squarespace allows you to create a website for you. So guys, Squarespace allows you to create a website for you. +[4780.72 --> 4796.00] So guys, Squarespace allows you to create a website for your blog, for your portfolio. It even has integrated e-commerce tools so you can have a store that you run out of Squarespace. So it can be something as simple as, you know, you create a PayPal merchant account. +[4796.00 --> 4807.00] I'm gonna do another refresh here. Create a PayPal merchant account, set up a Squarespace store, and boom! You can sell whatever, you know, widgets your niece makes, or something online, or whatever it is you want to do. +[4807.00 --> 4819.00] It's really cool. It's flexible. It's easy to use. And if you want to, you can dig a little deeper, and you can get access to much more customization if you happen to be a more experienced web guy. +[4819.00 --> 4822.00] So check that out. We did not manage to take it down. +[4822.00 --> 4826.00] I was really thinking that might have been enough people. I thought we might get it this time. +[4826.00 --> 4841.00] Jeez. But there you go, guys. And that's the most basic Squarespace plan. And the great thing about it is it's scalable on its own. So if all of a sudden you need a lot more bandwidth, all you have to do is be like, okay, no, upgrade me. I need to, I need more capabilities. Throw more power at me. +[4841.00 --> 4842.00] Just throw more power at me. +[4842.00 --> 4845.00] I wish they would let us host Linus Media Group out of their centers. +[4845.00 --> 4846.00] You mean linustechtips.com? +[4846.00 --> 4847.00] Linustechtips.com out of their centers. +[4847.00 --> 4848.00] Yeah, I know, right? +[4848.00 --> 4849.00] That would be fantastic. +[4849.00 --> 4850.00] Bulletproof. +[4850.00 --> 4853.00] Yeah, that would be great. That would be awesome, guys. +[4853.00 --> 4854.00] So there you go, guys. +[4854.00 --> 4855.00] Just let us rack our server in there. +[4855.00 --> 4857.00] Squarespace lets you create your own beautiful web... +[4857.00 --> 4871.00] Okay, in summary. Squarespace lets you create your own beautiful website that is gonna have the reliability you need without the hassle and headache that comes along with maintaining 99% uptime, which is the standard on a website when you're trying to do it on your own. +[4871.00 --> 4874.00] So thanks, Squarespace, for sponsoring the WAN show today. +[4874.00 --> 4881.00] And as always, guys, don't forget, use offer code LINUS if you sign up for Squarespace so that you can save 10% on your first order. +[4881.00 --> 4884.00] And then you can also have a free trial website for two weeks. +[4884.00 --> 4890.00] And stay tuned for next month, I guess, when we do our next Squarespace site giveaway. +[4890.00 --> 4892.00] I think that's pretty much it. +[4892.00 --> 4895.00] People keep saying it's down and then I test it and it's totally not. +[4895.00 --> 4896.00] It's totally not, guys. +[4896.00 --> 4899.00] Here. Okay, okay, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. +[4899.00 --> 4901.00] Not down at all. +[4901.00 --> 4902.00] Wrecked. +[4902.00 --> 4904.00] There we go. +[4904.00 --> 4906.00] Alright, so let's go ahead and move on. +[4906.00 --> 4909.00] I think we have like one more topic today. +[4909.00 --> 4911.00] Oh, oh, this one. +[4911.00 --> 4912.00] Ugh. +[4912.00 --> 4916.00] This is good news and like terrible news at the same time. +[4916.00 --> 4924.00] Intel teams up with 50 Cent, well, 50 Cent's company SMS Audio on biometric earbuds. +[4924.00 --> 4927.00] So, the technology's cool. +[4927.00 --> 4933.00] Basically, it's a biometric monitoring gadget so it's gonna check your heart rate, temperature, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. +[4933.00 --> 4936.00] I actually don't remember exactly what it monitors. +[4936.00 --> 4944.00] I don't much care because I personally think that an earphone is a phenomenally stupid place to wear that. +[4944.00 --> 4956.00] I mean, the article says something about, it seems like one of the obstacles for wearables is that people are not looking for a new thing to wear. +[4956.00 --> 4961.00] But the problem is that nobody lives with their earbuds in the whole time, so... +[4961.00 --> 4963.00] Well, if it's for working out. +[4963.00 --> 4970.00] If it's just for working out, then okay, but that doesn't actually give you that much useful information about your overall lifestyle. +[4970.00 --> 4971.00] Yes. +[4971.00 --> 4972.00] This is true. +[4972.00 --> 4974.00] So who gives a crap? +[4974.00 --> 4977.00] You might as well just suck it up and wear an armband then. +[4977.00 --> 4978.00] So, okay, anyway. +[4978.00 --> 4987.00] Basically, the price point will be acceptable to consumers, says SMS Audio. +[4987.00 --> 4988.00] Says SMS Audio. +[4988.00 --> 4992.00] So, what does that mean? +[4992.00 --> 4994.00] $200. +[4994.00 --> 4997.00] And they sound like poo poo. +[4997.00 --> 4998.00] Yeah, they say... +[4998.00 --> 5006.00] The thing that drives me crazy about this is it's an article about earphones that makes no mention of how they sound. +[5006.00 --> 5008.00] They're earphones. +[5008.00 --> 5016.00] If I wanted a monitor thing that I wear in my ear, then that's what I would look for. +[5016.00 --> 5019.00] Why would I want earphones that sound bad? +[5019.00 --> 5022.00] And I'm assuming they're gonna sound bad. +[5022.00 --> 5029.00] Although, I would be willing to completely reverse my sort of, you know, analysis here. +[5029.00 --> 5038.00] If I do try them out and they're great, like I'm not gonna be close-minded about it, but I just don't expect them to sound good at all. +[5038.00 --> 5044.00] I mean, if you saw our review of the streets by 50 on-ears... +[5044.00 --> 5047.00] Yeah, that was just bad. +[5047.00 --> 5053.00] I wonder how much the Star Wars edition in-ear biometric ones are gonna cost. +[5053.00 --> 5056.00] I really wish we'd stop giving this kind of nonsense our attention. +[5056.00 --> 5058.00] We shouldn't have even talked about it. +[5058.00 --> 5060.00] We should have just completely ignored it. +[5060.00 --> 5062.00] But if we... +[5062.00 --> 5064.00] The biometric thing is cool, though. +[5064.00 --> 5065.00] Yeah. +[5065.00 --> 5067.00] Oh, you mean like on the show? +[5067.00 --> 5068.00] Yeah. +[5068.00 --> 5071.00] I was gonna say the review was good because we smashed it, so that means that other people can tell people it was bad. +[5071.00 --> 5073.00] I don't think we were... +[5073.00 --> 5075.00] We have to inform the informants. +[5075.00 --> 5079.00] I have no problem with us doing a review of something like Streets by 50. +[5079.00 --> 5081.00] I mean, that was a one-time thing, I think. +[5081.00 --> 5089.00] Where I was just like, oh, this is Star Wars, which is cool, but it's also an obviously terrible pair of headphones and it's expensive, which is hilarious. +[5089.00 --> 5095.00] I bought them intending to slam them because I knew they were gonna be bad. +[5095.00 --> 5097.00] I did do my due diligence. +[5097.00 --> 5102.00] I made sure they were bad before I slammed them, but I bought them intending to do that. +[5102.00 --> 5106.00] I'm not gonna make a habit of just buying stuff to be terrible. +[5106.00 --> 5108.00] We do, though. +[5108.00 --> 5109.00] Not very often. +[5109.00 --> 5110.00] Not often at all. +[5110.00 --> 5113.00] Once every quarter or every six months or something like that. +[5113.00 --> 5114.00] Yeah. +[5114.00 --> 5117.00] So I'm not gonna run out and buy these just so that I can declare them to be horrible. +[5117.00 --> 5118.00] Yes. +[5118.00 --> 5119.00] And I... +[5119.00 --> 5123.00] I guess I just don't really know what to say about it anymore. +[5124.00 --> 5131.00] The only, like, biometrically scanning kind of thingy that I've seen in a long time that I cared about was that thing that I mentioned to you where it was the... +[5131.00 --> 5133.00] I believe it was a wristband, but who really cares? +[5133.00 --> 5135.00] And it's constantly measuring. +[5135.00 --> 5138.00] And it measures, like, the salt and stuff in your skin. +[5138.00 --> 5139.00] Yeah. +[5139.00 --> 5141.00] To figure out, like, do you need to drink more water? +[5141.00 --> 5142.00] Do you need to eat more food? +[5142.00 --> 5144.00] Do you need to work out more? +[5144.00 --> 5146.00] Do you need to start moving because you've been too idle? +[5146.00 --> 5150.00] Like, that one's kind of interesting because every once in a while it'll be like, hey, you haven't had any water today. +[5150.00 --> 5151.00] Go drink some. +[5151.00 --> 5153.00] Or you're malnourished right now. +[5153.00 --> 5154.00] Go eat something. +[5154.00 --> 5155.00] Yeah, that to me is a lot more useful. +[5155.00 --> 5156.00] Yeah. +[5156.00 --> 5164.00] Whereas something like InEars that you're going to be wearing maybe an hour a day, that's not going to give any kind of useful information. +[5164.00 --> 5173.00] It's just marketing to gullible people based on that whole fad of fitness level monitoring. +[5173.00 --> 5174.00] Like, that's all... +[5174.00 --> 5175.00] It's another Wii Fit. +[5175.00 --> 5176.00] Yeah. +[5176.00 --> 5177.00] Yeah. +[5177.00 --> 5178.00] That's what it is. +[5178.00 --> 5179.00] Fitness stuff will always sell. +[5179.00 --> 5181.00] Yeah, I know. +[5181.00 --> 5182.00] I just... +[5182.00 --> 5188.00] And okay, I've got a lot of people saying that, yes, reviews like the Star Wars edition, Streets by 50 OnEars, are important. +[5188.00 --> 5193.00] But I don't actually agree because you guys already know. +[5193.00 --> 5195.00] You watch this show. +[5195.00 --> 5198.00] So who are we reaching? +[5198.00 --> 5207.00] We're not reaching the people who are buying this stuff and leaving rave reviews on Amazon about how great they are. +[5207.00 --> 5208.00] I don't know. +[5208.00 --> 5209.00] It's... +[5209.00 --> 5213.00] You have to also calculate in that we're getting new viewers all the time so they may not actually know. +[5213.00 --> 5218.00] And if one of their friends is fairly dead set on buying it and they try to tell them it's bad, and they're like, +[5218.00 --> 5219.00] Oh, no, I don't know. +[5219.00 --> 5220.00] I've heard it's pretty good. +[5220.00 --> 5221.00] They could show them the video. +[5221.00 --> 5222.00] There's still a news behind it. +[5222.00 --> 5225.00] My name's not going to carry a ton of weight with that person. +[5225.00 --> 5226.00] Because they've never heard of me. +[5226.00 --> 5230.00] But they'll see that it's a fairly well shot video so it seems fairly legit. +[5230.00 --> 5231.00] There's quite a few views on it. +[5231.00 --> 5232.00] There's a lot of likes. +[5232.00 --> 5236.00] And then they'll go look at five star customer reviews on Amazon. +[5236.00 --> 5237.00] Two of them. +[5237.00 --> 5238.00] Doesn't matter. +[5238.00 --> 5239.00] Some of the other models... +[5239.00 --> 5242.00] Amazon.com has 75, averaging 4.5 stars. +[5242.00 --> 5244.00] This is Amazon.ca I'm on right now. +[5244.00 --> 5246.00] So that's what we're up against. +[5246.00 --> 5253.00] We're up against people who don't know any better and buy whatever fit he tells them to and like it. +[5253.00 --> 5255.00] And it's just... +[5255.00 --> 5256.00] Wow. +[5256.00 --> 5257.00] Wow. +[5257.00 --> 5261.00] In my opinion, SMS is better and wouldn't mind recommending it to my friends. +[5261.00 --> 5263.00] I mean, we're talking verified purchases. +[5263.00 --> 5264.00] Better than what? +[5264.00 --> 5265.00] Beats? +[5265.00 --> 5268.00] Better than, I don't know, airplane headphones probably. +[5268.00 --> 5270.00] The issue is that people don't... +[5270.00 --> 5272.00] These sound so purchased. +[5272.00 --> 5274.00] SMS audio is the best way to listen to music? +[5274.00 --> 5275.00] That doesn't even mention... +[5275.00 --> 5278.00] These headphones are made of superb quality build and sound. +[5278.00 --> 5281.00] They're more durable than Beats and they sound better and clearer. +[5281.00 --> 5283.00] That sounds incredibly purchased. +[5283.00 --> 5284.00] Just saying. +[5284.00 --> 5288.00] Oh, but the grammar's wrong. +[5288.00 --> 5290.00] So it probably is an end user. +[5290.00 --> 5291.00] I wouldn't go... +[5291.00 --> 5293.00] No, that's happened in purchase ones a lot. +[5293.00 --> 5294.00] Yeah, I guess you're probably right. +[5294.00 --> 5295.00] Like a ton. +[5295.00 --> 5297.00] Mainly, you see the grammar problem and spelling problem thing. +[5297.00 --> 5300.00] People are like, Linus, audio is subjective, man. +[5300.00 --> 5302.00] No, it isn't. +[5302.00 --> 5304.00] There's bad audio. +[5304.00 --> 5306.00] Bad audio is bad audio. +[5306.00 --> 5307.00] I think there's... +[5307.00 --> 5311.00] And streets by 50 are objectively bad. +[5311.00 --> 5315.00] They do not take the signal that comes into them and output something that resembles it. +[5315.00 --> 5316.00] That's bad. +[5316.00 --> 5317.00] I think there's a... +[5317.00 --> 5319.00] There is some subjectivity. +[5319.00 --> 5320.00] Yes. +[5320.00 --> 5321.00] But bad is bad. +[5321.00 --> 5322.00] But there's... +[5322.00 --> 5325.00] Yeah, there's still a threshold of this is just bad. +[5325.00 --> 5326.00] It's like... +[5326.00 --> 5328.00] And these ones are good and these ones are subjective. +[5328.00 --> 5329.00] It's like wine. +[5329.00 --> 5333.00] There's lots of different good wine and they can be different from each other. +[5333.00 --> 5336.00] But bad wine is gonna make anybody throw up. +[5336.00 --> 5339.00] If they've tried good wine, especially. +[5339.00 --> 5340.00] That's all there is to it. +[5340.00 --> 5341.00] Done. +[5341.00 --> 5346.00] I really hoped everyone who watched this show knew better, but apparently they don't. +[5346.00 --> 5347.00] Sorry. +[5347.00 --> 5352.00] Anyway, I think on that sort of annoying note, we're done here. +[5352.00 --> 5353.00] Alright. +[5353.00 --> 5355.00]

We are not an hour late. +[11.60 --> 16.92] Daylight savings time is a thing here in the Canada... well not in all of Canada, +[16.92 --> 21.36] but we've been through this last week so I'm not gonna spend too much time on it. +[21.36 --> 25.64] I actually just realized that I don't have my headphones on me so I'm not +[25.64 --> 31.52] monitoring the audio so for all I feel they're not hearing any of this. +[31.52 --> 37.88] Rock on! So anyway, here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and make sure that we actually have audio. +[37.88 --> 40.76] It looks like we do! So... +[40.76 --> 47.92] Got people being like, no sound! No sound! I love you guys! I love you so much! +[47.92 --> 54.80] Hey Brandon, speaking of no sound, can you center the camera for us? I think it like fell. +[54.80 --> 58.68] Thanks man! I don't know how this happens all the time. I don't even get it. +[58.68 --> 60.68] Ghost phantom camera movers. +[60.68 --> 64.68] I actually know exactly how it happens. I'm usually the one who moves it by accident. +[64.68 --> 65.68] What? +[65.68 --> 71.68] No, because the tripod is not actually secured very well. Here Brandon, just look over here. +[71.68 --> 73.68] But what are you doing in here all the time? +[73.68 --> 77.68] Well, I'm borrowing the lens or stuff like that so... +[77.68 --> 78.68] Oh... +[78.68 --> 82.68] Or like turning off the camera because you guys were in a really small room. +[82.68 --> 88.72] Like actually really small. Like really small. So the camera is on a tripod where like the +[88.72 --> 94.00] back legs are like vertical and the front legs like out like this. So the camera is like right +[94.00 --> 96.56] against the wall. I can barely reach the power button. +[96.56 --> 102.68] Alright, so we got a great show for you guys today. Actually fantastic show. +[102.68 --> 116.68] Google has begun talking about their smartwatch OS Android Wear. So this is a type of Android that when it bites other Androids they become infected and... +[116.68 --> 118.68] Nope. +[118.68 --> 120.72] Not Wear Android? Nope. +[120.72 --> 122.72] No? Android Wear? Not Wear? +[122.72 --> 123.72] I got it. +[123.72 --> 124.72] It was a joke. +[124.72 --> 125.72] Yeah. +[125.72 --> 127.72] It was a rather clever one. +[127.72 --> 137.72] So Android Wear is going to be an OS that is specifically optimized for wearables and one of the first products we're going to see is the Moto 360. +[137.72 --> 146.12] Which has people internally here at Linus Media Group anyway extremely excited because it's round. +[146.12 --> 147.24] Well that brings in my... +[147.24 --> 148.52] Okay, I tried to keep this... +[148.52 --> 149.82] Hold on, we're not getting into this topic yet. +[150.00 --> 150.22] Oh? +[150.62 --> 152.94] You have to do your introductory topics, then the intro. +[153.14 --> 154.54] I got so excited. I was ready to go. +[154.60 --> 154.68] Anyways... +[154.68 --> 157.10] I don't think we've got to tease the audience. Don't just, you know... +[157.10 --> 158.26] My teasing articles... +[158.26 --> 159.92] Put out entirely right up front. +[159.92 --> 164.16] Is that there's something called Project Morpheus coming from Sony which has to do with VR. +[164.16 --> 170.64] And there's something more direct called Developer Kit 2 coming from Oculus which is about VR. +[170.64 --> 174.32] And we'll talk about both those things in their hopefully entirety later. +[174.32 --> 179.92] And there's also a documentary released by Valve which some people are either on either side of a fence for. +[179.92 --> 182.72] And that fence seems to be completely hating it or completely loving it. +[182.72 --> 184.16] So we'll talk about that later as well. +[184.16 --> 185.16] Alright. +[185.92 --> 186.42] Bam. +[189.92

one expletive deleted. +[246.92 --> 247.92] At least one. +[247.92 --> 263.92] The value add of having razors shipped to your door every month for less than what you'd pay if you went to a store and did it and with much less hassle because you don't have to wait for them to unlock Fort Knox to get out your razor blades because that's freaking ridiculous. +[263.92 --> 264.92] You know. +[264.92 --> 265.92] That is kind of ridiculous. +[265.92 --> 266.92] Okay. +[266.92 --> 270.92] This is unrelated to my Dollar Shave Club like sponsorship spot here. +[270.92 --> 273.92] So thanks to Squarespace and Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring the episode today. +[273.92 --> 275.92] But do you remember when they started doing that? +[275.92 --> 277.92] Yeah, I thought it was really weird. +[277.92 --> 279.92] Yeah, it was like it must have been about five years ago. +[279.92 --> 281.92] They started doing it at the stores here. +[281.92 --> 291.92] And I was actually like I started shaving before they did that and then like like it happened while I was while I was shaving. +[291.92 --> 294.92] And I was just like one day I went to the store and I was like. +[294.92 --> 295.92] Uh, uh, uh. +[295.92 --> 299.92] And then I was like I was at London Drugs. +[299.92 --> 304.92] There wasn't a single person anywhere that could possibly help me with anything. +[304.92 --> 306.92] Like when's the last time other than cosmetics? +[306.92 --> 307.92] Yeah. +[307.92 --> 309.92] When's the last time you saw someone to help you? +[309.92 --> 310.92] Yeah. +[310.92 --> 313.92] I mean we had this problem at Home Depot yesterday or the other day too. +[313.92 --> 315.92] Yeah, that was actually pretty brutal. +[315.92 --> 316.92] That was ridiculous. +[316.92 --> 317.92] I told you what I do for razors. +[317.92 --> 318.92] Right. +[318.92 --> 321.92] I just like grind it against my face. +[321.92 --> 326.92] Okay, we gotta get you hooked up with Dollar Shave Club. +[326.92 --> 327.92] You know what? +[327.92 --> 333.92] Okay, okay, if our Dollar Shave Club guy is watching we need to get him hooked up with Dollar Shave Club because it's actually pretty terrifying. +[333.92 --> 335.92] I actually grow a beard pretty quick. +[335.92 --> 338.92] I've been using the same razors for like a year. +[338.92 --> 342.92] I just shave in the shower and just go over it a whole bunch of times. +[342.92 --> 343.92] That is horrible. +[343.92 --> 345.92] That's like horrible for you. +[345.92 --> 346.92] No. +[346.92 --> 347.92] Like it really is. +[347.92 --> 348.92] I'm not even... +[348.92 --> 349.92] I know. +[349.92 --> 350.92] You just have to decide. +[350.92 --> 351.92] That's bad for you dude. +[351.92 --> 352.92] I know. +[352.92 --> 353.92] I know. +[353.92 --> 356.92] But it's just like I'm way too lazy to go by because every single time I get there I'm +[356.92 --> 359.92] just like, oh, I'm done. +[359.92 --> 360.92] I just leave. +[360.92 --> 366.92] I hate finding people in stores and even if I can find someone I hate talking to salespeople. +[366.92 --> 369.92] Well they're just opening a cabinet for you. +[369.92 --> 371.92] It's not like you're buying them at a car dealership. +[371.92 --> 372.92] I know, but it just sucks. +[372.92 --> 375.92] Speaking of car dealerships, we're super mad at them. +[375.92 --> 376.92] Should we just jump into that right now? +[376.92 --> 379.92] We should just jump right into that right now. +[379.92 --> 380.92] Let's jump to it right now. +[380.92 --> 381.92] Because I'm like super mad. +[381.92 --> 385.92] I get the feeling that we're going to be talking about this like every week for the +[385.92 --> 387.92] next, like I don't know how long. +[387.92 --> 389.92] Where the hell is this link? +[389.92 --> 390.92] Remember we can use the... +[390.92 --> 391.92] Nope, it's not there. +[391.92 --> 392.92] Where was it? +[392.92 --> 393.92] Ohio. +[393.92 --> 394.92] There we go. +[394.92 --> 398.92] Ohio auto dealers support an anti-Tesla direct sales bill. +[398.92 --> 399.92] Really? +[399.92 --> 400.92] Really? +[400.92 --> 401.92] They don't... +[401.92 --> 411.92] They support the anti-Tesla bill and now my screen sharing isn't working because that's +[411.92 --> 413.92] how angry I am right now. +[413.92 --> 416.92] That's like the level of anger that's going on. +[416.92 --> 417.92] Is that even plugged into the right thing? +[417.92 --> 419.92] Your anger just like... +[419.92 --> 420.92] Float? +[420.92 --> 421.92] Is that... +[421.92 --> 422.92] Yeah, float into the... +[422.92 --> 423.92] Float? +[423.92 --> 424.92] Float? +[424.92 --> 427.92] I think it's going into the Aver Media thing. +[427.92 --> 430.92] So anyway, here, you, do you want to like walk them through this in the meantime? +[430.92 --> 434.92] Okay, so Ohio, like obviously, I don't know why anyone would think otherwise. +[434.92 --> 437.92] Oh, you just moved the camera. +[437.92 --> 439.92] Oh my god. +[439.92 --> 444.92] Ohio auto dealers are trying to push the bill that will stop Tesla from opening stores +[444.92 --> 447.92] outside of its only two locations in Ohio. +[447.92 --> 451.92] So you don't let them sell directly to the customer. +[451.92 --> 454.92] You're not letting them sell like, oh man. +[454.92 --> 458.92] They're taking legal action against them but it didn't fall in their favor, blah blah blah, +[458.92 --> 462.92] but it might because they're in big pockets and they have tons of money and they're probably +[462.92 --> 463.92] going to push it even more. +[463.92 --> 464.92] They're in big pockets? +[464.92 --> 465.92] Yeah. +[465.92 --> 466.92] Do you even listen to yourself? +[466.92 --> 467.92] Yes. +[467.92 --> 469.92] That wasn't as bad as combing with a brick. +[469.92 --> 471.92] Comb with a brick. +[471.92 --> 472.92] That's fantastic. +[472.92 --> 474.92] Alright, I'm gonna... +[474.92 --> 478.92] I just plugged it into a different capture card because that is how baller we are now. +[478.92 --> 483.92] So a lot of the auto dealers don't want to sell Tesla vehicles but they also don't want +[483.92 --> 486.92] Tesla to be able to sell their own vehicles, which is kind of ridiculous. +[486.92 --> 489.92] I can fully understand the auto dealers not wanting to sell Tesla vehicles because they're +[489.92 --> 492.92] stupid but I can't fully understand them. +[492.92 --> 494.92] Not Tesla vehicles are stupid. +[494.92 --> 496.92] Auto dealers are stupid and we hate them. +[496.92 --> 499.92] But I can't understand they're like, yeah, we don't want to sell them but you can't sell +[499.92 --> 500.92] them either. +[500.92 --> 505.92] I get where they're coming from but that's way worse and should never be allowed to be +[505.92 --> 506.92] a thing. +[506.92 --> 511.92] So basically this just comes down to who's got the deep existing relationship and not +[511.92 --> 516.92] what's actually best for the consumer or best for a free and open market. +[516.92 --> 518.92] I mean, okay, so here. +[518.92 --> 520.92] There's some big problems here. +[520.92 --> 526.92] So we have another article on this that's actually from Jalopnik.com where Patrick George, +[526.92 --> 530.92] the writer there, I'm just gonna go ahead and bring this up on the screen, figures and +[530.92 --> 534.92] this was...so his early estimate when he was just digging into the public record figures +[534.92 --> 540.92] that the Ohio senator behind the new bill, who was the same one who tried to sneak this +[540.92 --> 545.92] into some stupid traffic legislation at some point earlier. +[545.92 --> 554.92] The same guy who's behind it has taken...so he figured $7,500 since 2009 from the Ohio Automobile +[554.92 --> 557.92] Dealers Association Investment Group. +[557.92 --> 561.92] Then, there's an update to the article and it's like, okay, well, it turns out that he got +[561.92 --> 564.92] way more from car dealers than I was able to find. +[564.92 --> 571.92] The Media Tracker reports between 2002 and 2013, Patent received $42,825 from state and +[571.92 --> 576.92] national auto dealership owners, employees and political action committees. +[576.92 --> 579.92] Honestly, I would fully expect it to be more than that too. +[579.92 --> 581.92] It may very well be more than that. +[581.92 --> 582.92] That's what they know of. +[582.92 --> 583.92] Like, come on. +[583.92 --> 586.92] But this is a big fundamental problem. +[586.92 --> 593.92] How can we expect the world to move forward if we just take these existing incumbents who just +[593.92 --> 599.92] have deep pockets to just buy whatever they want and allow them to do this? +[599.92 --> 604.92] Last week, we talked about it and you went slightly on the defensive when saying about +[604.92 --> 607.92] how it takes people a long time to adapt to different things. +[607.92 --> 608.92] Yes. +[608.92 --> 611.92] And like the selling directly from the retailer and all that kind of stuff. +[611.92 --> 612.92] And that kind of makes... +[612.92 --> 613.92] I proposed a compromise! +[613.92 --> 614.92] Yeah, yeah, yeah. +[614.92 --> 615.92] Not a banning of it! +[615.92 --> 616.92] I'm not saying that. +[616.92 --> 617.92] Okay, alright. +[617.92 --> 621.92] I'm just saying that was brought up and that's actually kind of interesting and kind of makes sense. +[621.92 --> 624.92] But when people are taking this kind of a stance, that's not really okay. +[624.92 --> 627.92] Okay, so here's a quote from this patent yahoo. +[627.92 --> 634.92] The state legislature years ago recognized having distinct roles for auto manufacturers +[634.92 --> 640.92] and dealers fosters competition in the marketplace and provides consumers with a system of checks +[640.92 --> 646.92] and balances to ensure that warranty and service issues are administered fairly, he said in an email. +[646.92 --> 651.92] Senate Bill 260 simply reinforces a standard set of rules for all manufacturers and dealers to follow, +[651.92 --> 653.92] which benefits both the industry and consumers. +[653.92 --> 660.92] When was the last time anyone, anywhere, had a good experience with a car warranty issue at a dealership? +[660.92 --> 663.92] I would love to hear from you guys! +[663.92 --> 666.92] Hit us up on Twitter if you have had a good... +[666.92 --> 668.92] At Linus Tech on Twitter, right there. +[668.92 --> 675.92] If your manufacturer warranty experience at a dealership was fantastic, all Tesla is asking for is +[675.92 --> 679.92] A, to cut out the middleman, and they're not blameless here, they really are just trying to reduce overhead, +[679.92 --> 681.92] which isn't necessarily bad. +[681.92 --> 688.92] But the other thing that they're asking for is to control the customer's experience because they don't feel like dealerships deliver a great one. +[688.92 --> 694.92] And I forget where the link was last year, but I think it was something like 9% satisfaction polls. +[694.92 --> 697.92] Well, did I tell you, but when I was shopping for my car... +[697.92 --> 698.92] Car salesman or something like that. +[698.92 --> 699.92] No, go ahead. +[699.92 --> 704.92] When I was shopping for my car, I knew the exact model I wanted, and we spent the entire day just going to dealership to dealership to dealership. +[704.92 --> 707.92] I'd walk around for a little bit and then just leave. +[707.92 --> 710.92] And I was like, I just hate these guys. +[710.92 --> 712.92] I'm just like, I can't do it. +[712.92 --> 717.92] I'd get hounded, and then I'd talk to them for a little bit, and then I'd just be like, oh, sorry, just leave. +[717.92 --> 725.92] There's a great episode of Dexter where he kills a car salesman, and the guy just is amazing. +[725.92 --> 733.92] The actor did a really great job of being a car salesman, but the scary part of watching it was the car salesman was exactly like every car salesman I've ever seen. +[733.92 --> 736.92] It's like, oh, you've got a two-year-old son? +[736.92 --> 737.92] So do I. +[737.92 --> 739.92] And I'd be looking at them and I'm like, yeah, you're like 65. +[739.92 --> 740.92] No, you don't. +[740.92 --> 742.92] It's just ridiculous. +[742.92 --> 748.92] Anything to build the relationship with the customer and make them feel comfortable giving them thousands of dollars. +[748.92 --> 750.92] When I was in there, we went with the angle. +[750.92 --> 753.92] I paid for my car, but we went with the angle so that they thought it was my parents. +[753.92 --> 754.92] Right. +[754.92 --> 759.92] So that I could easily be the one actually managing everything, but they were targeting my parents. +[759.92 --> 763.92] So he heard our last name and then asked my dad where he's from. +[763.92 --> 766.92] Oh, they ended up going to the same school and like all this crap. +[766.92 --> 768.92] And I was like, probably not. +[768.92 --> 773.92] Luckily, all that junk is focused on my dad, even though I'm the one actually making the purchasing decision. +[773.92 --> 776.92] That was one of the smartest things I've ever had my mom do. +[776.92 --> 778.92] It was like, let's make them think we're buying it. +[778.92 --> 781.92] That was so smart because it made it so much easier. +[781.92 --> 782.92] Anyways. +[782.92 --> 786.92] So, I guess that's about it. +[786.92 --> 789.92] Luckily, we don't have to talk about it for very long because we're probably going to have to talk about it every single week. +[789.92 --> 790.92] Yeah, I know, right? +[790.92 --> 792.92] As new states and new things come into play. +[792.92 --> 795.92] One thing that you said earlier that I thought was hilarious. +[795.92 --> 798.92] This was a few days ago about this thing. +[798.92 --> 799.92] Yeah. +[799.92 --> 800.92] You were like, I thought this was America. +[800.92 --> 801.92] Yeah, I thought this was America. +[801.92 --> 805.92] You know what's funny about that is direct sales already exists in Canada. +[805.92 --> 812.92] It's like America, you're falling behind like Canada in your Americaness. +[812.92 --> 814.92] Come on, Freedom Train. +[814.92 --> 817.92] We're actually like rooting for you over here. +[817.92 --> 818.92] You guys can do it. +[818.92 --> 819.92] I believe in you. +[819.92 --> 826.92] We want everyone to have the right to buy the vehicle they want the way they want without dealing with greasy used car salesman or new car salesman. +[826.92 --> 828.92] I don't think the new ones are better than the used ones. +[828.92 --> 831.92] They're not like condoms that way. +[831.92 --> 834.92] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. +[834.92 --> 836.92] Alright, so let's head back over to my screen here. +[836.92 --> 837.92] What? +[837.92 --> 847.92] Google is officially getting into wearables is the first line of this article which Dante, I mean come on, is that really the headline here? +[847.92 --> 849.92] I mean Google Glass. +[849.92 --> 851.92] I mean it goes on your face. +[851.92 --> 852.92] You wear it. +[852.92 --> 854.92] If anything it's more wearable than a smartwatch. +[854.92 --> 856.92] But it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. +[856.92 --> 857.92] I still like the article. +[857.92 --> 864.92] So smartwatch is coming soon from some of the partners that they've announced including Motorola, Samsung, LG and more. +[864.92 --> 873.92] The one that you're looking right there is the Moto 360 which has a round display and with a very, very classic styling. +[873.92 --> 878.92] Looks a lot more like what we would expect a watch to look like as opposed to just being a smartwatch. +[878.92 --> 880.92] Now I've seen some smart smartwatch designs. +[880.92 --> 882.92] Haven't had my hands on too many of them yet. +[882.92 --> 884.92] I have a Pebble Steel coming. +[884.92 --> 888.92] I'm definitely going to ping Motorola about getting my hands on one of these. +[888.92 --> 891.92] And I've had some people requesting that I look at the Sony smartwatch too. +[891.92 --> 896.92] I reached out to my contact there but it's like a Canadian contact so they often don't have access to stuff. +[896.92 --> 899.92] But if I can't get one from them I'll just buy one. +[899.92 --> 903.92] And I definitely want to talk more about these wearables. +[903.92 --> 910.92] But I've seen some really smart ones that include things like a classic analog watch under a transparent screen. +[910.92 --> 912.92] And I think something like that is... +[912.92 --> 913.92] I told you about that. +[913.92 --> 917.92] That's the thing that I didn't want to put in the show yet. +[917.92 --> 920.92] But I told you about that months ago. +[920.92 --> 921.92] About how that should have been a thing. +[921.92 --> 926.92] How they have a normal watch with a screen on top of it so that it can be a smartwatch or a classic watch. +[926.92 --> 927.92] That makes so much sense. +[927.92 --> 928.92] That makes a ton of sense to me. +[928.92 --> 932.92] But for someone like me who doesn't really care about the classic watch look. +[932.92 --> 936.92] I would probably still go with something more like the Moto 360. +[936.92 --> 939.92] So basically it's going to be running a very, very lightweight OS. +[939.92 --> 943.92] You're going to have the ability to obviously pair it with your other Android devices. +[943.92 --> 946.92] You'll be able to use things like voice control. +[946.92 --> 948.92] So Google now. +[948.92 --> 953.92] Something that doesn't come up in everyday conversation that much. +[953.92 --> 954.92] Unlike Xbox. +[954.92 --> 957.92] My buddy Nick and I were hanging out last night working on something. +[957.92 --> 959.92] And I had my phone up and he had his phone up. +[959.92 --> 961.92] And he decided to set a calendar event. +[961.92 --> 963.92] He's like, okay Google. +[963.92 --> 964.92] And they're like, boop boop. +[964.92 --> 967.92] I was like, stop, no. +[967.92 --> 969.92] I don't want this on my phone. +[969.92 --> 971.92] Anyways, sorry, keep going. +[971.92 --> 976.92] Google's also working with fashion brands as opposed to just pure IT brands. +[976.92 --> 982.92] I mean the great thing about IT brands, we love them dearly and they deliver fantastic technology to us. +[982.92 --> 987.92] The not so great thing about them is that sometimes they don't really have great fashion sense. +[987.92 --> 990.92] And Apple, well I did pick the orange one. +[990.92 --> 993.92] The bad fashion sense was sort of my bad here. +[993.92 --> 994.92] So you're the IT brand. +[994.92 --> 997.92] I'm the IT guy. +[997.92 --> 1003.92] So when you compare that to Apple and their just beautiful fashion sense. +[1003.92 --> 1010.92] Google doesn't want their mobile, their wearable OS to be stuck as like for IT dorks like me. +[1010.92 --> 1013.92] They want it to be something that will be accepted by the general consumer. +[1013.92 --> 1017.92] So they will be working very closely with their partners to ensure that we get beautiful designs. +[1017.92 --> 1027.92] Although the Moto 360 from a more traditional company, although we don't know how much influence Google had on the project because of the very brief ownership that they had of Motorola. +[1027.92 --> 1031.92] So all of those things looks absolutely beautiful. +[1031.92 --> 1035.92] And that's a big thing with watches because watches are huge about style. +[1035.92 --> 1036.92] Yes. +[1036.92 --> 1037.92] So like it does make a ton of sense. +[1037.92 --> 1042.92] If we really cared about the functionality of watches, everyone would still be wearing a calculator watch. +[1042.92 --> 1046.92] Hey, I had one that did everything. +[1046.92 --> 1047.92] It had a backlight. +[1047.92 --> 1049.92] It could do alarms. +[1049.92 --> 1051.92] I could write boobies on it. +[1051.92 --> 1054.92] Yeah, I'm sure you could. +[1054.92 --> 1057.92] Did absolutely everything. +[1057.92 --> 1061.92] So did I miss anything there? +[1061.92 --> 1062.92] I don't think so. +[1062.92 --> 1065.92] We're just kind of waiting to get one so we can do a video about it. +[1065.92 --> 1071.92] Yeah, there'll be more information in sort of the beginning of the summer, sort of like late June sort of timeframe. +[1071.92 --> 1075.92] There's lots of rumors flying around about Apple's smartwatch. +[1075.92 --> 1082.92] I'm really excited to see what comes from both of them and I will definitely get my hands on them at my soonest possible opportunity. +[1082.92 --> 1092.92] One thing I don't like about the Moto 360, which I guess let's get into now, is that they seem to be using just kind of a traditional LCD based screen. +[1092.92 --> 1101.92] And for me, with a phone, I can almost, like here, here, this is actually great. +[1101.92 --> 1104.92] Because I have my phone plugged into a battery bank right now. +[1104.92 --> 1105.92] Because it died when I tried to call them. +[1105.92 --> 1106.92] Right. +[1106.92 --> 1111.92] With a phone, I can kind of accept one day battery. +[1111.92 --> 1117.92] Because it's something that I already, like, I don't know, like I already accept it. +[1117.92 --> 1119.92] Even though I don't know if I should. +[1119.92 --> 1125.92] Like our new guy, Taren, was using some ancient, hey Taren, do you have your phone here? +[1125.92 --> 1126.92] Your old one? +[1126.92 --> 1127.92] Yeah, I do. +[1127.92 --> 1128.92] Yeah, he does. +[1128.92 --> 1129.92] Does he? +[1129.92 --> 1130.92] Yeah. +[1130.92 --> 1131.92] Taren! +[1131.92 --> 1133.92] Do you have your old phone here? +[1133.92 --> 1134.92] Yeah, I do. +[1134.92 --> 1135.92] Can I borrow it? +[1135.92 --> 1136.92] You guys are going to love this. +[1136.92 --> 1141.92] So he's got an old phone that he figures gets about a month of battery life. +[1141.92 --> 1144.92] But I saw this thing and I was like, dude, you've got to get with the time. +[1144.92 --> 1146.92] So I was just like, here's a One Mini. +[1146.92 --> 1150.92] I know it's not the greatest phone in the world, but jeez, man. +[1150.92 --> 1153.92] When I first saw it, I thought it was a Blackberry. +[1153.92 --> 1156.92] Yeah, if a Blackberry was made by, like, Fisher-Price. +[1156.92 --> 1160.92] So this is, this is like, look at the screen size! +[1160.92 --> 1162.92] It actually doesn't even weigh anything either. +[1162.92 --> 1163.92] It does have a keyboard on it. +[1163.92 --> 1164.92] Wait, let's compare the screen size to my thumb. +[1164.92 --> 1165.92] Yeah, here. +[1165.92 --> 1166.92] See? +[1166.92 --> 1168.92] Thank you. +[1168.92 --> 1173.92] So we can make fun of it because we gave him something else. +[1173.92 --> 1178.92] But one of the things he complained about immediately switching to a modern smartphone +[1178.92 --> 1180.92] is that, hey, the battery life sucks on this thing. +[1180.92 --> 1182.92] I have to charge it every day. +[1182.92 --> 1185.92] And I have been doing it for so long that I've kind of forgotten. +[1185.92 --> 1191.92] But with watches, we're not talking about going from a week of battery on my old Nokia brick phone +[1191.92 --> 1194.92] versus like a day or a couple days of battery at best on a smartphone. +[1194.92 --> 1203.92] We're talking about going from months long batteries or even like solar powered to like a day on the gear. +[1203.92 --> 1204.92] No, no, no. +[1204.92 --> 1206.92] So we need to see Mirasol displays. +[1206.92 --> 1208.92] We need to see advances in that technology. +[1208.92 --> 1215.92] We need to see whatever it takes to keep them low power enough to run for at least four to five days would be my benchmark. +[1215.92 --> 1219.92] If I can remember to charge it a couple times a week, then I'm okay with that. +[1219.92 --> 1228.92] I found when I was testing G2 that it had like actually a pretty acceptable amount because you could go with pretty heavy use for two days and be totally fine. +[1228.92 --> 1232.92] And that was pretty good because if you forgot one night, you probably wouldn't forget the next. +[1232.92 --> 1234.92] So that was okay when I was testing it. +[1234.92 --> 1237.92] So right now we don't have too many details about the 360. +[1237.92 --> 1239.92] It's going to launch in the summer. +[1239.92 --> 1242.92] They aren't mentioning any specs whatsoever. +[1242.92 --> 1246.92] And I think that's going to be a common theme with smart watches. +[1246.92 --> 1250.92] Samsung did release some of the specifications of the gear. +[1250.92 --> 1252.92] So they were like, yeah, we're using kind of this processor. +[1252.92 --> 1253.92] We're using a cut down Android. +[1253.92 --> 1254.92] We're doing this. +[1254.92 --> 1255.92] We're doing that. +[1255.92 --> 1257.92] But you look at what Qualcomm did with the talk. +[1257.92 --> 1258.92] They didn't give us any specs. +[1258.92 --> 1263.92] I don't think anyone really, I don't think Kevill talks about what they're using in their watches at all. +[1263.92 --> 1270.92] I think for these kinds of devices, the space race, the gigahertz race is going to be pretty much over. +[1270.92 --> 1272.92] And I'm okay with that. +[1272.92 --> 1278.92] And I had someone criticize me pretty harshly on my talk review when I said, I don't know what's in here and I don't care. +[1278.92 --> 1280.92] They said, well, you're a tech head. +[1280.92 --> 1281.92] You're supposed to care. +[1281.92 --> 1290.92] But the reality of it is that beyond the display and the aesthetic and the software of something like a smartwatch, why would I care? +[1290.92 --> 1291.92] I don't care. +[1291.92 --> 1293.92] All the processing is done here. +[1293.92 --> 1295.92] All the connectivity besides like... +[1295.92 --> 1297.92] And hopefully that will happen even more. +[1297.92 --> 1298.92] That's right. +[1298.92 --> 1303.92] We've talked about this in the past where we were talking about having a more centralized compute and then your other things just connecting to it. +[1303.92 --> 1307.92] So hopefully that will matter even less than it does now. +[1307.92 --> 1313.92] If anything, the smartwatch should be as dumb as possible so that we can extend its battery life. +[1313.92 --> 1315.92] Because that'll be a better overall experience. +[1315.92 --> 1333.92] If you can, you know, have your wireless ear pods and your smartwatch and all this stuff that just uses super low power connectivity to have something else do all the work and act as a hub, then that's going to deliver a much better experience for people who actually need to like gear all this stuff up every day before they leave the house. +[1333.92 --> 1334.92] Yeah. +[1334.92 --> 1336.92] So it'll probably feature wireless charging. +[1336.92 --> 1339.92] We'll launch first in the US, but we'll find a way to get our hands on it. +[1339.92 --> 1342.92] No camera on board. +[1342.92 --> 1346.92] There are some pictures and renders on the Daily Tech article here. +[1346.92 --> 1347.92] It looks really nice. +[1347.92 --> 1348.92] So I'm just going to pop that out. +[1348.92 --> 1350.92] It looks absolutely beautiful, doesn't it? +[1350.92 --> 1351.92] Yeah. +[1351.92 --> 1352.92] There you go. +[1352.92 --> 1354.92] And like the classic watch fronts look really good. +[1354.92 --> 1355.92] Yeah. +[1355.92 --> 1357.92] I'm actually pretty stoked for this too. +[1357.92 --> 1359.92] And I haven't been super stoked for too many smartwatches yet. +[1359.92 --> 1366.92] So you'll be able to do all the usual stuff, check your emails, preview your text messages, all that kind of nonsense. +[1366.92 --> 1373.92] But you know, I'm not going to get too hyped about it this time because I got really amped on the Qualcomm talk. +[1373.92 --> 1374.92] Yeah, I remember that. +[1374.92 --> 1375.92] I was like... +[1375.92 --> 1377.92] It did look a lot better. +[1377.92 --> 1379.92] And it's not bad. +[1379.92 --> 1380.92] Yeah. +[1380.92 --> 1381.92] It isn't a bad product. +[1381.92 --> 1384.92] There's just a few things like the cutting the thing. +[1384.92 --> 1385.92] It's just not a finished product. +[1385.92 --> 1386.92] Yeah. +[1386.92 --> 1387.92] That was my issue with it. +[1387.92 --> 1388.92] And it was too expensive. +[1388.92 --> 1392.92] Although they dropped the price $100 like two days after my review went up. +[1392.92 --> 1394.92] So I single handedly take responsibility for that price drop. +[1394.92 --> 1398.92] No, I don't. +[1398.92 --> 1405.92] But I would have probably adjusted my conclusion about the device a little bit based on the price drop. +[1405.92 --> 1409.92] But I would have also needed to see them going in the right direction in terms of software dev as well. +[1409.92 --> 1412.92] I mean, one thing that I really... +[1412.92 --> 1415.92] You know, this isn't in our agenda today. +[1415.92 --> 1416.92] But... +[1416.92 --> 1417.92] Go for it. +[1417.92 --> 1418.92] We do that a lot anyways. +[1418.92 --> 1419.92] Yeah, I know. +[1419.92 --> 1421.92] Fitness wearables. +[1421.92 --> 1422.92] Yep. +[1422.92 --> 1424.92] Fad or long term? +[1424.92 --> 1428.92] I think eventually they'll just be integrated into everything else. +[1428.92 --> 1429.92] Mm-hmm. +[1429.92 --> 1431.92] But I think fitness is not a fad. +[1431.92 --> 1432.92] Okay. +[1432.92 --> 1437.92] So like, I think it'll be something maybe considering your smartwatch will have skin contact anyways. +[1437.92 --> 1438.92] Okay. +[1438.92 --> 1439.92] Maybe it can grab your heartbeat that way. +[1439.92 --> 1443.92] Maybe other things can do everything that fitness wearables are currently doing so you don't need them. +[1443.92 --> 1449.92] Maybe your freaking running headphones that you wear can now do everything that the fitness wearable does. +[1449.92 --> 1451.92] Yeah, I saw one that's... +[1451.92 --> 1453.92] I actually kickstarted it last night, I think. +[1453.92 --> 1454.92] I didn't even know that existed. +[1454.92 --> 1455.92] Yeah. +[1455.92 --> 1461.92] So like, I think the idea of fitness integrated with technology that you can go on a run is only going to get bigger. +[1461.92 --> 1464.92] But I don't know if it's going to be dedicated devices. +[1464.92 --> 1468.92] Are we just selling the dream to people who are out of shape? +[1468.92 --> 1469.92] No, not necessarily. +[1469.92 --> 1473.92] Because the main people I know that are buying these things are actually fairly in shape. +[1473.92 --> 1474.92] Okay. +[1474.92 --> 1477.92] I know someone that goes for like 10 to 15k runs at least twice a week. +[1477.92 --> 1478.92] Mm-hmm. +[1478.92 --> 1480.92] And he's the one that always has the new fitness wearable. +[1480.92 --> 1481.92] Okay. +[1481.92 --> 1482.92] Okay. +[1482.92 --> 1487.92] But of course you're dealing with fitness, some amount of it is going to be selling the dream. +[1487.92 --> 1490.92] Because Wii Fit sold like, Billio. +[1490.92 --> 1492.92] Some amount of it is selling the dream. +[1492.92 --> 1499.92] Out of the 3,130 people watching right now, I guarantee not one of you has touched a Wii Fit in like, a year. +[1499.92 --> 1505.92] Like, that's the issue with these fitness wearables is that I look at them right now in their current form, +[1505.92 --> 1507.92] and I go, well that's stupid. +[1507.92 --> 1512.92] Because it does like one thing, and it's an entire other device to carry around. +[1512.92 --> 1516.92] Something that I've been waiting for is a more, and like I know I'm taking this course, +[1516.92 --> 1521.92] so of course I'm trying to apply it to everything, but I kind of always do because I think it's fantastic, +[1521.92 --> 1524.92] but a more gamified system of fitness wearables. +[1524.92 --> 1531.92] My biggest complaint with the Zombies Run 2 app is that it's not tracked enough, +[1531.92 --> 1536.92] and there's not enough like goals and progress loops and engagement loops and stuff like that. +[1536.92 --> 1538.92] Like there's nothing pushing me to go for my run. +[1538.92 --> 1539.92] Right. +[1539.92 --> 1540.92] Other than myself. +[1540.92 --> 1543.92] Once I get out there, I get the voice track, I get all that kind of stuff. +[1543.92 --> 1546.92] Like the build your own base part of it is really not very well developed, +[1546.92 --> 1550.92] and it's kind of really boring and has no real meaning. +[1550.92 --> 1555.92] And the social integration is there, but it's kind of janky and doesn't matter. +[1555.92 --> 1564.92] The problem with social integration for fitness apps in my mind is that it helps the people who are already really active. +[1564.92 --> 1565.92] Yeah. +[1565.92 --> 1571.92] Maybe it keeps the ball rolling, but I don't think if you're not in a group of physically engaged people, +[1571.92 --> 1574.92] like so the only real thing that I do to work out is I play badminton. +[1574.92 --> 1580.92] So unless my whole group all are like using that app or something, +[1580.92 --> 1585.92] and like we play all of our games with like this badminton app or something that tracks how far you moved on the court, +[1585.92 --> 1588.92] and we can compare stats and there's some kind of thing there. +[1588.92 --> 1594.92] Unless it's really deeply integrated and really personalized, it's not that meaningful to me. +[1594.92 --> 1597.92] And I don't think it's going to help a couch potato get off the couch. +[1597.92 --> 1599.92] I think it's more like for your buddy who already runs anyway. +[1599.92 --> 1602.92] Yeah, and that's true, but then it has to be voluntary. +[1602.92 --> 1604.92] Like that part of the app has to be voluntary. +[1604.92 --> 1607.92] You have to look for it and you have to enable it yourself. +[1607.92 --> 1609.92] If it's forced upon you, it's just going to hurt. +[1609.92 --> 1610.92] Right. +[1610.92 --> 1611.92] It's not a good idea. +[1611.92 --> 1616.92] But like having those things where maybe playing zombies run. +[1616.92 --> 1621.92] If I go for a run four or five times in one week, it can be like you're really getting on it. +[1621.92 --> 1623.92] It can be some sort of badge or award or something. +[1623.92 --> 1625.92] And then maybe I can get something in the game. +[1625.92 --> 1627.92] Maybe they'll talk to me different or something like that. +[1627.92 --> 1631.92] Like some type of, so I can have some sort of a goal within the system, within the game. +[1631.92 --> 1634.92] I think that's a good idea and could push a lot of people off the couch. +[1634.92 --> 1639.92] Because the main reason why I'm going for these runs lately is because it's fun. +[1639.92 --> 1640.92] Right. +[1640.92 --> 1641.92] I hate going for runs. +[1641.92 --> 1642.92] It's mind-numbingly boring. +[1642.92 --> 1647.92] But if I can listen to this audio tape essentially, which is just giving me a storyline, which +[1647.92 --> 1650.92] I really have no integration with, which is another thing that's terrible about that game. +[1650.92 --> 1651.92] Right. +[1651.92 --> 1653.92] Is there's no actual plotted points on a map. +[1653.92 --> 1656.92] So I just run in a circle the whole time and they're like, yeah, let's run down Main Street. +[1656.92 --> 1658.92] And I'm like, I'm running through the park. +[1658.92 --> 1659.92] This is not a thing. +[1659.92 --> 1665.92] I think when you'll convince me, because that, again, is the problem with this fitness thing for me. +[1665.92 --> 1668.92] And I think what's out there now is kind of fatty. +[1668.92 --> 1669.92] Yeah. +[1669.92 --> 1670.92] But it'll get there. +[1670.92 --> 1671.92] That's the problem. +[1671.92 --> 1674.92] But when we see it more tightly integrated, like that laser tag system that we saw with +[1674.92 --> 1679.92] the augmented reality, when you integrate that with a fitness element, you build a fitness +[1679.92 --> 1684.92] app for that so that it's designed to move your battlefield around and your objectives +[1684.92 --> 1686.92] around so that you have to move. +[1686.92 --> 1690.92] Like if they mixed like Ingress with Zombies Run. +[1690.92 --> 1693.92] So you have to like run to a point and like take it over. +[1693.92 --> 1694.92] Yes. +[1694.92 --> 1695.92] And then keep running. +[1695.92 --> 1696.92] Yeah. +[1696.92 --> 1697.92] Yeah. +[1697.92 --> 1698.92] That totally makes sense. +[1698.92 --> 1699.92] Something like that is a whole other ball game. +[1699.92 --> 1700.92] Yeah. +[1700.92 --> 1701.92] You know, I've got a lot of people. +[1701.92 --> 1702.92] Okay. +[1702.92 --> 1707.92] I don't normally respond to these kinds of comments, but I've got a lot of people that +[1707.92 --> 1712.92] are giving me a hard time about badminton being a workout here on the stream. +[1712.92 --> 1713.92] So. +[1713.92 --> 1714.92] Oh God. +[1714.92 --> 1715.92] Really? +[1715.92 --> 1716.92] Okay. +[1716.92 --> 1717.92] Here we go. +[1717.92 --> 1718.92] Right there. +[1718.92 --> 1721.92] That's right. +[1721.92 --> 1723.92] This is awkward. +[1723.92 --> 1724.92] Right there. +[1724.92 --> 1725.92] I'm not a part of this. +[1725.92 --> 1726.92] Badminton is a workout. +[1726.92 --> 1727.92] I'm not a part. +[1727.92 --> 1728.92] I wasn't on this stream. +[1728.92 --> 1729.92] It's the only thing I do. +[1729.92 --> 1730.92] I wasn't on the stream. +[1730.92 --> 1731.92] Bam. +[1731.92 --> 1732.92] Alright. +[1732.92 --> 1735.92] I'm just putting that out there. +[1735.92 --> 1736.92] So. +[1736.92 --> 1739.92] Let's move on to our next topic because badminton is a thing. +[1739.92 --> 1740.92] This is awkward. +[1740.92 --> 1741.92] Amazon smartphone. +[1741.92 --> 1744.92] The original article is from BGR.com. +[1744.92 --> 1745.92] Oh, you know what? +[1745.92 --> 1746.92] No. +[1746.92 --> 1749.92] Before we move into that, let's have a look at people's comments on the whole dealership +[1749.92 --> 1750.92] thing. +[1750.92 --> 1751.92] Ryan says, nope. +[1751.92 --> 1754.92] Hermie says, Audi has good car salesman. +[1754.92 --> 1758.92] Tommy says, I work at a, and we don't have raises in cages there. +[1758.92 --> 1761.92] They're alarmed and it's in front of the counter. +[1761.92 --> 1762.92] Okay. +[1762.92 --> 1763.92] That's not, that's better. +[1763.92 --> 1764.92] Yeah. +[1764.92 --> 1766.92] If you're willing to give up that near the car salesman. +[1766.92 --> 1769.92] Um, or that near the car, that near the counter space. +[1769.92 --> 1770.92] Cameron Martin is probably the point. +[1770.92 --> 1771.92] Hated that car salesman. +[1771.92 --> 1772.92] Yeah. +[1772.92 --> 1776.92] Chevy wanted me to pay 2k to fix one wire in the harness of my car. +[1776.92 --> 1778.92] That was a known defect that kills audio. +[1778.92 --> 1779.92] I did it myself for $12. +[1779.92 --> 1780.92] Oh my God. +[1780.92 --> 1784.92] Ashley says, I had a good experience, but they didn't struggle. +[1784.92 --> 1785.92] Was your garage sale successful? +[1785.92 --> 1786.92] Yes, it was. +[1786.92 --> 1788.92] We're going to have another garage sale today. +[1788.92 --> 1791.92] Never have many issues with recurring transmission problem. +[1791.92 --> 1792.92] Even went to multiple dealerships. +[1792.92 --> 1794.92] You know, my parents SUV. +[1794.92 --> 1795.92] Um, that's stupid. +[1795.92 --> 1797.92] You know how the hatch doesn't open. +[1797.92 --> 1799.92] That's been there since like six months after they got it. +[1799.92 --> 1801.92] They've never managed to actually fix it. +[1801.92 --> 1802.92] Yeah. +[1802.92 --> 1803.92] Okay. +[1803.92 --> 1804.92] Mr. Jimmy penguin says I have. +[1804.92 --> 1805.92] Okay. +[1805.92 --> 1806.92] That was good. +[1806.92 --> 1810.92] Um, fully supported the, okay. +[1810.92 --> 1813.92] Infinity dealer at Richmond auto mall is apparently pretty good. +[1813.92 --> 1814.92] They always fix it up, but the coffee is lousy. +[1814.92 --> 1815.92] Lousy coffee though. +[1815.92 --> 1818.92] 70 bucks for my 30 K maintenance for free one day. +[1818.92 --> 1819.92] Yeah. +[1819.92 --> 1820.92] Okay. +[1820.92 --> 1821.92] Nope. +[1821.92 --> 1822.92] Dealerships would kill a rising up with bad experiences. +[1822.92 --> 1823.92] I'm a kid. +[1823.92 --> 1824.92] So this doesn't matter. +[1824.92 --> 1825.92] Haven't bought a car yet. +[1825.92 --> 1826.92] Are good for getting service done. +[1826.92 --> 1829.92] I've gone to private garages for diagnostics and they were way off. +[1829.92 --> 1830.92] Okay. +[1830.92 --> 1832.92] I think that's going to vary a lot. +[1832.92 --> 1833.92] Well, there you go. +[1833.92 --> 1836.92] It's two is going to vary between vendors as well too, but that's, I mean, this is good +[1836.92 --> 1837.92] for us to know. +[1837.92 --> 1838.92] It is. +[1838.92 --> 1840.92] Just because our experience have been what they are. +[1840.92 --> 1842.92] Well, we have a very small. +[1842.92 --> 1843.92] Yeah. +[1843.92 --> 1845.92] I don't buy new, I don't buy new vehicles. +[1845.92 --> 1849.92] I've been shopping for new vehicles, but I've never actually bought one for myself. +[1849.92 --> 1850.92] That's another thing. +[1850.92 --> 1854.92] You know, I've only, have you actually dealt with the new vehicle salesman though? +[1854.92 --> 1855.92] Uh, yeah. +[1855.92 --> 1856.92] Oh yeah. +[1856.92 --> 1857.92] I've only dealt with used car salesman. +[1857.92 --> 1861.92] Um, when, uh, when I was shopping for my wife's car, we were going to buy new and +[1861.92 --> 1862.92] then we ended up not. +[1862.92 --> 1863.92] So we, we shopped everywhere. +[1863.92 --> 1864.92] I, I deal, I'll deal, blah blah blah. +[1864.92 --> 1868.92] I dealt with dealers that sold new cars and used cars. +[1868.92 --> 1870.92] They weren't just used cars dealerships. +[1870.92 --> 1871.92] They were like everything dealerships. +[1871.92 --> 1872.92] Right. +[1872.92 --> 1875.92] Um, so I don't know if that makes any difference, but yeah. +[1875.92 --> 1877.92] I also don't have a huge amount of experience. +[1877.92 --> 1879.92] I've bought one car that was from a dealership. +[1879.92 --> 1882.92] The car that I bought before that was from like, just a family friend. +[1882.92 --> 1885.92] I apologize to whoever I made throw up. +[1885.92 --> 1886.92] You made someone throw up? +[1886.92 --> 1888.92] With my, with my tummy. +[1888.92 --> 1892.92] Have you like not ever watched TV or gone to a pool or something? +[1892.92 --> 1893.92] Yeah. +[1893.92 --> 1894.92] No, apparently, apparently threw up. +[1894.92 --> 1897.92] Guy's stomachs are like not really a, a censored thing. +[1897.92 --> 1900.92] I'm just putting that out there. +[1900.92 --> 1903.92] You must throw up a lot. +[1903.92 --> 1905.92] Oh, that's great. +[1905.92 --> 1906.92] Moving on. +[1906.92 --> 1907.92] All right. +[1907.92 --> 1908.92] Yeah. +[1908.92 --> 1909.92] Let's move on. +[1909.92 --> 1910.92] Okay. +[1910.92 --> 1912.92] Should we have another, like, this is on almost every week thing? +[1912.92 --> 1913.92] No. +[1913.92 --> 1916.92] Let's do the, uh, let's do the Amazon smartphone rumor. +[1916.92 --> 1917.92] Right. +[1917.92 --> 1918.92] This isn't confirmed any way. +[1918.92 --> 1919.92] I like you panel this one. +[1919.92 --> 1920.92] The Amazon smartphone thing. +[1920.92 --> 1921.92] Yeah. +[1921.92 --> 1926.92] I didn't really look over this a ton cause I didn't really care because it's a not confirmed. +[1926.92 --> 1928.92] And like, what are they doing? +[1928.92 --> 1930.92] I don't know. +[1930.92 --> 1934.92] It doesn't make a ton of sense to me. +[1934.92 --> 1936.92] The, the camera things for gestures. +[1936.92 --> 1937.92] Okay. +[1937.92 --> 1938.92] So there's like six cameras or something. +[1938.92 --> 1939.92] Yeah. +[1939.92 --> 1940.92] There's six cameras. +[1940.92 --> 1941.92] There's a front and back and there's four for gestures. +[1941.92 --> 1942.92] Yeah. +[1942.92 --> 1943.92] That's interesting. +[1943.92 --> 1944.92] Yeah. +[1944.92 --> 1945.92] That's definitely interesting. +[1945.92 --> 1949.92] Um, but I, I personally, I'm not super interested in gestures on my phone. +[1949.92 --> 1952.92] Um, I like gestures on monitors. +[1952.92 --> 1953.92] We saw that at CES. +[1953.92 --> 1954.92] Yeah. +[1954.92 --> 1955.92] I thought that was interesting. +[1955.92 --> 1957.92] Um, gesture control built into monitors. +[1957.92 --> 1960.92] I thought that was kind of cool, especially for touch desktop experiences. +[1960.92 --> 1966.92] I could see it helping windows 8.1 or maybe windows nine rumors a lot because of like, +[1966.92 --> 1973.92] uh, modern UI or whatever, because at a desktop, I'm not necessarily that close and I don't want to be like, uh, touching things all the time. +[1973.92 --> 1974.92] So I think that's kind of cool. +[1974.92 --> 1978.92] But for my phone, it's always right there and I don't really mind touching the screen. +[1978.92 --> 1980.92] I like the tactile feedback, so I'm not really sure. +[1980.92 --> 1982.92] I'm not super interested in that. +[1982.92 --> 1986.92] Um, it's, it doesn't have the highest end screen. +[1986.92 --> 1989.92] The battery seems like super lame. +[1989.92 --> 1993.92] Um, I don't know. +[1993.92 --> 2000.92] I don't know why they're getting into the smartphone market now when it seems like all the hype is going down, +[2000.92 --> 2007.92] but maybe that is a good time because maybe the shelf life for a phone is becoming longer because the market isn't being as pushed as hard. +[2007.92 --> 2015.92] Yeah. And I mean, if their whole model is that they're just going to sell you a device and then, um, not really care at all if they make any money on it. +[2015.92 --> 2024.92] And then instead bundle in their services or sell you eBooks or audio books down the line, then ultimately, what do they care? +[2024.92 --> 2033.92] As long as it's a reasonably competitive device at a reasonably competitive price, if you're someone who's deeply entrenched in the Amazon ecosystem, which is getting easier and easier to do. +[2033.92 --> 2035.92] Yep. Um, not for Canadians. +[2035.92 --> 2040.92] Might make a ton of sense. Yeah. Not so much for Canadians, but all the news we get is so US centric anyway. +[2040.92 --> 2041.92] Yeah. +[2041.92 --> 2044.92] We had, I had someone in the Twitch chat saying that some of what we were saying was offensive. +[2044.92 --> 2048.92] He's a car salesman and sorry. +[2048.92 --> 2054.92] It might not be you. Maybe you're the good one, but there's always gotta be an exception to prove the rule. +[2054.92 --> 2055.92] Yep. +[2055.92 --> 2058.92] And like all I can go on is my own experience. +[2058.92 --> 2065.92] My, yeah, my personal experience has not been super great, but then I have very low amount of personal experience. +[2065.92 --> 2071.92] All right. So moving on to smartphones that may actually be reasonably exciting. +[2071.92 --> 2086.92] The iPhone 6. So there are renders, there are maybe leaks. We're looking at an ultra retina screen with a 379 pixels per inch density. +[2086.92 --> 2093.92] Totally unnecessary. Did I say 379? Cause I meant 389. That 10 extra pixels is gonna make all the difference. +[2093.92 --> 2094.92] Definitely. +[2094.92 --> 2103.92] We could be looking at Apple's fastest processor yet, a 2.6 gigahertz A8 processor. +[2103.92 --> 2113.92] This little render right here may not actually be factual at all, but the rumors are that it might be as thin as five and a half millimeters, +[2113.92 --> 2123.92] which is kind of berserk. So more like an iPad Air shrunk down as opposed to more bricky like the previous iPhones. +[2123.92 --> 2128.92] Um, we could be looking at two different display sizes, 4.7 and 5.7 inches. +[2128.92 --> 2129.92] Yeah. +[2129.92 --> 2134.92] Um, which is a real, a real departure and kind of surprising to me. +[2134.92 --> 2141.92] Like I would have expected them to do something more like the traditional iPhone size and then maybe a 4.7 large iPhone. +[2141.92 --> 2148.92] I wouldn't have expected them to do a larger iPhone and a, and like almost a phablet. +[2148.92 --> 2150.92] Jobs has passed, man. +[2150.92 --> 2156.92] Um, but the thing is, okay. Like if we, if we think about, you know, who's using. +[2156.92 --> 2162.92] I know what you mean. Like make an option so that all the current users that want the same size phone can have that option. +[2162.92 --> 2169.92] And like, I'm not trying to generalize based on sex. I'm not going to say that women use iPhones and men use Android phones. +[2169.92 --> 2171.92] Well, Gabe and apparently uses an iPhone. +[2171.92 --> 2172.92] Who? +[2172.92 --> 2173.92] Gabe and Gabe and Gabe. +[2173.92 --> 2175.92] Yeah. Well, okay. We'll talk about that later. +[2175.92 --> 2183.92] Um, but what I will say is that for people with smaller hands and women would fall into that category. +[2183.92 --> 2186.92] I also would. So I'm not like down on them or anything. +[2186.92 --> 2193.92] The iPhone is a great option because it is smaller, but it is still very high end, very high spec and very feature rich. +[2193.92 --> 2195.92] But you've used a bigger phone now. +[2195.92 --> 2196.92] Yep. +[2196.92 --> 2197.92] And you were totally fine with it. +[2197.92 --> 2199.92] I'm totally fine with it. +[2199.92 --> 2206.92] But I went back to using my iPhone four not that long ago. And I was like, oh yeah, it's really easy to use. +[2206.92 --> 2207.92] Okay. +[2207.92 --> 2209.92] And, oh, this is actually something that isn't on the dock. +[2209.92 --> 2210.92] And I didn't talk about last week. +[2210.92 --> 2211.92] Uh, Apple fixed it. +[2211.92 --> 2214.92] The iPhone four on iOS 7.1. +[2214.92 --> 2215.92] Snappy. +[2215.92 --> 2216.92] Hmm. +[2216.92 --> 2219.92] It's not, it's not a new high end device or anything. +[2219.92 --> 2220.92] Yeah. +[2220.92 --> 2221.92] But it's way better. +[2221.92 --> 2222.92] Like you saw it before. +[2222.92 --> 2223.92] Yep. +[2223.92 --> 2228.92] It's probably as responsible as, as responsible, as responsive as my like cluttered up HTC one +[2228.92 --> 2229.92] at this point for basic stuff. +[2229.92 --> 2232.92] I mean, it hitches more from, maybe more like a Moto G. +[2232.92 --> 2233.92] Okay. +[2233.92 --> 2234.92] Yeah. +[2234.92 --> 2235.92] More like a Moto G. +[2235.92 --> 2238.92] And that was one of the things that I had mocked Apple openly about before was that they +[2238.92 --> 2243.92] were positioning iPhone four in markets like India as a competitor for Moto G and it was more expensive. +[2243.92 --> 2249.92] Well now at least it has higher build quality and it's delivering a responsive experience. +[2249.92 --> 2250.92] Yeah. +[2250.92 --> 2251.92] Because it was kind of a problem. +[2251.92 --> 2253.92] Oh, it was terrible, terrible for a while then. +[2253.92 --> 2254.92] It was kind of a really big problem. +[2254.92 --> 2256.92] So kudos to Apple for continuing to support. +[2256.92 --> 2261.92] I mean, this is something that I always have to contrast against the Android experience. +[2261.92 --> 2262.92] Yeah. +[2262.92 --> 2266.92] Is I got my iPhone four the same time my wife got a Galaxy S vibrant. +[2266.92 --> 2270.92] How supported is a Galaxy S vibrant versus an iPhone four? +[2270.92 --> 2271.92] Yeah. +[2271.92 --> 2274.92] And that's why I always leaned on Nexus devices pretty hard. +[2274.92 --> 2275.92] Yeah. +[2275.92 --> 2279.92] Because at least with my Nexus S I had updates for a really long time. +[2279.92 --> 2281.92] Did Nexus S ever get KitKat? +[2281.92 --> 2283.92] I don't think so. +[2283.92 --> 2286.92] I think I stopped using it before that would have happened. +[2286.92 --> 2288.92] So I'm not sure. +[2288.92 --> 2291.92] But apparently there are ROMs if nothing else. +[2291.92 --> 2297.92] KitKat, Android 4.4, that's through scyanogen mod. +[2297.92 --> 2299.92] Maybe someone in the Twitch chat can let us know. +[2299.92 --> 2300.92] I can't remember. +[2300.92 --> 2304.92] I don't follow phones as closely as I do lots of other things. +[2304.92 --> 2305.92] All right. +[2305.92 --> 2307.92] So let's see if there are anymore iPhone 6. +[2307.92 --> 2308.92] Oh, yeah. +[2308.92 --> 2316.92] cool leak. So two things. The rumor is that Apple may be using... so they put in five patents for +[2316.92 --> 2323.14] liquid metal, and the rumor is that it may be used to encase the phone. So there's a link to +[2323.14 --> 2327.28] the patent here. I'm just going to go ahead and fire this up for you guys. Why is this screen? +[2327.52 --> 2332.50] Okay, that's probably not that helpful. So there you go. Basically, that's what at least one of +[2332.50 --> 2337.92] them looks like. But let's talk a little bit about liquid metal, because a lot of people are under the +[2337.92 --> 2344.98] impression that liquid metal is actually liquid. But it isn't at all. What liquid metal is, +[2345.26 --> 2352.58] is more of... okay, it's strong in its light, and it's more to do with the ease of working with it, +[2352.88 --> 2361.88] and the fact that it's difficult to scratch, than it being liquid, like a doorway that you approach, +[2362.00 --> 2366.84] and it dissolves as you walk through it. It's not like that. It's just... +[2366.84 --> 2373.90] the difference... the main difference between liquid metal and normal metal is that rather than having a clear melting point, +[2373.90 --> 2382.90] where we go from solid to liquid, liquid metal becomes more softer and softer, and easier and easier to mold, +[2382.90 --> 2390.10] and more liquid-like very gradually as you increase the temperature. So this means that you can work with it in a number of different ways. +[2390.10 --> 2396.16] It also maintains its strength, even if you heat it up and cool it down. So what happens is you can make it super liquid, +[2396.16 --> 2405.16] to the point where you can cast it, which with traditional metals is not nearly as strong as if you were to forge it, or work on it in some other way. +[2405.16 --> 2411.16] So you can cast it, and then if you're at a different temperature, you can actually mold it. So you can create very complex shapes. +[2411.16 --> 2417.22] Another characteristic of liquid metal is that it doesn't expand and contract to nearly the same degree as more traditional, +[2417.22 --> 2424.16] normal metals do. So when you heat it up and do something with it, it's not going to just contract and deform and do something stupid. +[2424.16 --> 2432.22] So we could be looking at some extremely beautiful, innovative designs with liquid metal, but beyond it being a little bit more difficult to scratch and lightweight, +[2432.22 --> 2436.22] probably isn't going to make that much of a day-to-day difference. +[2436.22 --> 2446.22] And they're probably not going to go way off the wall with it either. I don't expect Apple to come with some crazy weird liquid metal design that can only be achieved by using liquid metal. +[2446.22 --> 2452.22] Yeah, they'll probably... because Apple's design first, implementation second. So they'll figure out what they want to make, +[2452.22 --> 2457.22] and then if liquid metal is the easiest way to do it, then they'll do it. I mean, they've been experimenting with it for a while. +[2457.22 --> 2468.22] Back in the iPhone 3G days, some of the SIM removal trays were liquid metal. And probably people never even thought about it or noticed or knew. +[2468.22 --> 2473.22] And all they were doing was... kind of trying it. +[2473.22 --> 2474.22] Yeah, yeah. +[2474.22 --> 2476.22] You kind of wonder how often crap like that goes on. +[2476.22 --> 2479.22] You just have no idea what you actually... yeah, that's probably true. +[2479.22 --> 2483.22] Because we heard so many rumors about it back then. It was such a big deal for like a little while, +[2483.22 --> 2488.22] but it just never really became a thing. So it faded away. This is really cool. I'm going to highlight it. +[2488.22 --> 2489.22] Whoop! +[2489.22 --> 2491.22] Yes! +[2491.22 --> 2492.22] Yeah. +[2492.22 --> 2499.22] So the rumor is that we could be looking at a sapphire glass screen. So to just explain what sapphire... +[2499.22 --> 2503.22] or sapphire... sapphire crystal glass screen, whatever you want to call it. Sapphire crystal screen. +[2503.22 --> 2504.22] Yes. +[2504.22 --> 2511.22] So to be clear, a sapphire crystal screen is going to be more difficult to scratch than the current weapon of choice, +[2511.22 --> 2513.22] Gorilla Glass 3 from Corning. +[2513.22 --> 2520.22] But Corning actually had a conference call earlier this month. It was about two and a half weeks ago. +[2520.22 --> 2526.22] Where... I mean, analysts were trying to kind of pick at them... +[2526.22 --> 2531.22] Basically they were trying to figure out what the upcoming iPhone will use. +[2531.22 --> 2536.22] Because Corning would obviously be privy to what kind of glass Apple is ordering. +[2536.22 --> 2542.22] And if they saw a sudden dramatic decline in shipments compared to what they normally get when there's an upcoming iPhone, +[2542.22 --> 2547.22] then they'd kind of figure out, okay, I guess they're not using Gorilla Glass 3 this time around. +[2547.22 --> 2552.22] So what Corning had to say about sapphire glass is that it's about ten times the price. +[2552.22 --> 2557.22] And yes, it is more expensive right now. It's a lot more expensive and less environmentally friendly to produce +[2557.22 --> 2563.22] due to the energy involved and the amount of time it takes to build the large panes of it. +[2563.22 --> 2569.22] And it is, while more scratch resistant, not necessarily able to take more pressure. +[2569.22 --> 2574.22] Although, one of the things that... I didn't actually read the entire transcript of the call, +[2574.22 --> 2578.22] but one of the things the summary didn't mention was impact resistance. +[2578.22 --> 2579.22] Yeah. +[2579.22 --> 2581.22] And that's something I think most people would actually be more concerned about. +[2581.22 --> 2582.22] What do you... +[2582.22 --> 2584.22] Than pressure? I would be way more concerned about impact than pressure. +[2584.22 --> 2586.22] What about impact versus scratching? +[2586.22 --> 2593.22] Probably be more... looking at the things I've seen happen to iPhones. +[2593.22 --> 2594.22] Or any other phone, I mean... +[2594.22 --> 2596.22] Or any other phone, probably impact. +[2596.22 --> 2597.22] Right. +[2597.22 --> 2601.22] Because you can kind of deal with scratching, but when the entire face of your phone becomes not usable +[2601.22 --> 2605.22] because you dropped it from a foot and it just landed at a really weird angle. +[2605.22 --> 2606.22] I don't know. +[2606.22 --> 2607.22] Not very cool. +[2607.22 --> 2613.22] Well, at any rate, Corning obviously is going to be defensive of Gorilla Glass. +[2613.22 --> 2618.22] They did say they have a new Gorilla Glass coming sometime in 2014, Gorilla Glass 4. +[2618.22 --> 2621.22] So that'll probably have their antimicrobial... +[2621.22 --> 2622.22] The like... +[2622.22 --> 2623.22] Agent... +[2623.22 --> 2624.22] Yeah, you saw that at CES, right? +[2624.22 --> 2625.22] Yeah, very cool. +[2625.22 --> 2626.22] Yeah. +[2626.22 --> 2627.22] So that'll probably have that. +[2627.22 --> 2628.22] Maybe it'll be even stronger and thinner. +[2628.22 --> 2631.22] Oh, they also said that Gorilla Glass is lighter. +[2631.22 --> 2634.22] I think it's something like 60% lighter or something like that. +[2634.22 --> 2635.22] So... +[2635.22 --> 2638.22] With how much lighter phones have been getting, I don't think that's going to be a huge deal. +[2638.22 --> 2640.22] Here's what Corning said. +[2640.22 --> 2641.22] Um... +[2641.22 --> 2646.22] We don't know what kind of glass Apple's using, but our forecast is still 30% growth, blah, +[2646.22 --> 2647.22] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. +[2647.22 --> 2650.22] So whatever they're using won't have any impact on our volumes. +[2650.22 --> 2651.22] So... +[2651.22 --> 2652.22] Whatever that means. +[2652.22 --> 2653.22] That's weird. +[2653.22 --> 2654.22] Yeah. +[2654.22 --> 2655.22] Uh... +[2655.22 --> 2660.22] The camera on the iPhone 6 is rumored to be up to 13 megapixels, although the actual megapixels +[2660.22 --> 2664.22] are not nearly as important as some of the other innovations we've seen in cameras over the last little while. +[2664.22 --> 2670.22] Like the dual LED flashes for a more balanced skin tone and stuff like that. +[2670.22 --> 2671.22] Okay. +[2671.22 --> 2672.22] Ha! +[2672.22 --> 2673.22] I culled this. +[2673.22 --> 2674.22] What? +[2674.22 --> 2675.22] Yep. +[2675.22 --> 2677.22] I know what you're going to be into now. +[2677.22 --> 2679.22] I'm not even at the right article, but it's... +[2679.22 --> 2680.22] Yep. +[2680.22 --> 2682.22] I culled this so hard. +[2682.22 --> 2683.22] The iPhone is... +[2683.22 --> 2684.22] Or the iPhone. +[2684.22 --> 2685.22] The iHome is coming. +[2685.22 --> 2689.22] Apple just patented a system that could put Siri in charge of your home. +[2689.22 --> 2691.22] We should have seen this coming. +[2691.22 --> 2692.22] I did. +[2692.22 --> 2695.22] No, but like this level of it. +[2695.22 --> 2698.22] This looks absolutely fantastic actually. +[2698.22 --> 2700.22] To the point where like if some... +[2700.22 --> 2705.22] Like it is not going to come down to Moto 360 versus Pebble. +[2705.22 --> 2708.22] And it's not going to come down to iPhone versus HTC One. +[2708.22 --> 2714.22] It is going to come down to whoever can build the best ecosystem that makes it so that your +[2714.22 --> 2716.22] life is augmented in meaningful ways. +[2716.22 --> 2718.22] And then that watch will go along with it. +[2718.22 --> 2720.22] And then that you'll buy whatever watch goes with it. +[2720.22 --> 2721.22] If I'm... +[2721.22 --> 2727.22] If the watch that when I'm sitting on my couch being a potato for too long says, hey, you're +[2727.22 --> 2730.22] at like a super low like resting heart rate. +[2730.22 --> 2732.22] Have you even done anything in the last three days? +[2732.22 --> 2733.22] Get your ass up. +[2733.22 --> 2734.22] Go for a run. +[2734.22 --> 2738.22] And then when I get in my car, it's like, yo dog, I said go for a run. +[2738.22 --> 2740.22] Not go for a drive. +[2740.22 --> 2743.22] Like when we get something that's that intelligent, I mean... +[2743.22 --> 2744.22] I haven't seen it yet. +[2744.22 --> 2745.22] Have you seen Her? +[2745.22 --> 2746.22] Who? +[2746.22 --> 2747.22] Her. +[2747.22 --> 2748.22] Her? +[2748.22 --> 2749.22] The movie. +[2749.22 --> 2750.22] Yes. +[2750.22 --> 2751.22] You have? +[2751.22 --> 2752.22] Yes, I have. +[2752.22 --> 2754.22] So I haven't seen it yet, but like that, because I've seen trailers. +[2754.22 --> 2755.22] Is that what you're kind of talking about? +[2755.22 --> 2757.22] Where it can like converse with you? +[2757.22 --> 2758.22] Because that's essentially what you're just doing. +[2758.22 --> 2760.22] Even without the conversation. +[2760.22 --> 2762.22] Even without the conversational aspect. +[2762.22 --> 2765.22] Something that really looks for patterns in your behavior. +[2765.22 --> 2769.22] And if you give it a set of goals, like look, I want to be more active. +[2769.22 --> 2770.22] I want to be more active. +[2770.22 --> 2771.22] I want to lose 10 pounds. +[2771.22 --> 2772.22] But some people aren't going to want you. +[2772.22 --> 2774.22] Some people won't want that. +[2774.22 --> 2776.22] And some people will be absolutely terrified by this. +[2776.22 --> 2778.22] And if I was smart, I would be too. +[2778.22 --> 2783.22] Because this level of being aware of what you're doing and where you are and what you're +[2783.22 --> 2788.22] saying at any given time is just absolutely scary. +[2788.22 --> 2796.22] But in terms of an enjoyable lifestyle, if I were to just block it from my mind and not +[2796.22 --> 2801.22] worry about the fact that someone else is watching what I'm doing, I think it could seriously +[2801.22 --> 2802.22] enhance my life anyway. +[2802.22 --> 2805.22] We've got, I'm excited for this type of stuff. +[2805.22 --> 2807.22] I'm jumping ideas again. +[2807.22 --> 2812.22] But like what with Google just did, where they're encrypting your email all over the +[2812.22 --> 2813.22] Yeah, I was going to jump into that topic. +[2813.22 --> 2814.22] Yeah, yeah. +[2814.22 --> 2816.22] So they're encrypting your email all over the freaking place. +[2816.22 --> 2823.22] I'm excited for more personalized style cloud, more personalized style services, and something +[2823.22 --> 2829.22] like this where maybe you get like the Siri box, which sits in the closet in your house, +[2829.22 --> 2833.22] and just has storage and compute and connectivity and everything. +[2833.22 --> 2839.22] And then it's all your own stuff and it's encrypted everywhere like crazy because then +[2839.22 --> 2842.22] the NSA is probably still going to find a way to get it. +[2842.22 --> 2848.22] I don't think either Apple or Google with the way that they value your information is ever +[2848.22 --> 2849.22] going to offer that to you. +[2849.22 --> 2853.22] Yeah, but then they'll take it, but then no one else. +[2853.22 --> 2854.22] Okay, so let's +[2854.22 --> 2857.22] And then you're going to have to figure out which one you're okay with having all of your +[2857.22 --> 2858.22] data. +[2858.22 --> 2863.22] Apple's got a reasonably okay history of privacy protection actually. +[2863.22 --> 2864.22] Yeah. +[2864.22 --> 2867.22] Like neither of them are super scary. +[2867.22 --> 2868.22] Google's becoming more scary. +[2868.22 --> 2871.22] Yeah, I was just going to say, Google's getting kind of scary lately. +[2871.22 --> 2877.22] I was on the Google train pretty hard probably about a year ago, maybe a little bit more, and I've +[2877.22 --> 2881.22] dropped off pretty heavily because a lot of their services are just kind of becoming junk. +[2881.22 --> 2883.22] Just putting that out there. +[2883.22 --> 2884.22] They're getting worse, not better. +[2884.22 --> 2886.22] You know what's really funny? +[2886.22 --> 2890.22] I've noticed that like half of my calendar notifications don't pop up anymore. +[2890.22 --> 2891.22] And I'm just like... +[2891.22 --> 2893.22] Things just seem to be getting... +[2893.22 --> 2894.22] That's weird. +[2894.22 --> 2896.22] Things just seem to be getting worse. +[2896.22 --> 2898.22] I haven't seen something from them in so long. +[2898.22 --> 2899.22] I know, right? +[2899.22 --> 2900.22] Oh, Major Geeks. +[2900.22 --> 2902.22] Alright, so let's move into our next topic. +[2902.22 --> 2904.22] This is a positive thing about Google though. +[2904.22 --> 2907.22] So the article's on MajorGeeks.com, geek until it megahertz. +[2907.22 --> 2908.22] This is definitely... +[2908.22 --> 2909.22] Man, I used to love this website. +[2909.22 --> 2911.22] I know, I used to be on here all the time. +[2911.22 --> 2912.22] Downloaded my future marks. +[2912.22 --> 2913.22] Yeah, man. +[2913.22 --> 2914.22] Yeah, man! +[2914.22 --> 2917.22] Like any game patches are always on here. +[2917.22 --> 2918.22] Yeah, dog! +[2918.22 --> 2919.22] Alright. +[2919.22 --> 2921.22] Sorry, yeah. +[2921.22 --> 2922.22] So like this is definitely an improvement. +[2922.22 --> 2925.22] I know I just said everything's getting worse, but this is definitely getting better. +[2925.22 --> 2927.22] Okay, so let's talk about what's going on here. +[2927.22 --> 2928.22] So Google... +[2928.22 --> 2939.22] Gmail has announced that they are quote unquote staying at the forefront of email security and reliability by using an encrypted HTTPS connection when you check or send email. +[2939.22 --> 2950.22] The fact that the option to turn off HTTPS will no longer be available will help users thwart the prying eyes of any number of would-be snoopers. +[2950.22 --> 2954.22] So is this, is this like, is this the transition to the future? +[2954.22 --> 2960.22] Where everyone starts to hate government and government kind of seems to go away and then it's just like what corporate team are you on? +[2960.22 --> 2961.22] Yeah. +[2961.22 --> 2973.22] Cause like in every video game and a lot of future style movies, it's always these like giant megacorps, like by and large, that actually run everything. +[2973.22 --> 2977.22] And then like governments either just don't exist or just don't matter. +[2977.22 --> 2986.22] Well, you look at how little apparently the government matters in Ohio because the car dealerships are running automotive legislation. +[2986.22 --> 2990.22] So is this the future or was it yesterday? +[2990.22 --> 2991.22] Dun, dun, dun. +[2991.22 --> 2992.22] Yeah, I don't know. +[2992.22 --> 2996.22] Which would be funnier if it wasn't actually something that's deeply concerning. +[2996.22 --> 2997.22] Yeah, seriously. +[2997.22 --> 3008.22] Because like, and something that we just talked about, which is how we were talking about how we might be more happy with Google or Apple having our data than the NSA. +[3008.22 --> 3009.22] Truthfully? +[3009.22 --> 3010.22] Yep. +[3010.22 --> 3011.22] Yeah. +[3011.22 --> 3012.22] 100%. +[3012.22 --> 3013.22] Particularly Apple. +[3013.22 --> 3019.22] I would gladly hand over the keys to, you know, like my life to Apple compared to- +[3019.22 --> 3020.22] If you had to. +[3020.22 --> 3021.22] The government. +[3021.22 --> 3022.22] Yeah, if I had to choose. +[3022.22 --> 3023.22] If it was like one of the other. +[3023.22 --> 3032.22] Like gun to your head, you pick one, I'll hand it to Apple versus someone else because Apple has my best interest at heart because they need my money. +[3032.22 --> 3034.22] Yeah, all of your money. +[3034.22 --> 3040.22] But that's the difference between a government and a company is that I have to voluntarily give Apple my money. +[3040.22 --> 3042.22] Which is, yeah, that's a big deal. +[3042.22 --> 3048.22] And that's what drives this corruption in the government is that I have to give them my money whether I'm happy with what they're doing or not. +[3048.22 --> 3054.22] If I actually had to give them my money because I was pleased with what they were doing, that would be a complete- +[3054.22 --> 3060.22] I suspect we'd see them behave in a much more consumer, much more populist friendly manner. +[3060.22 --> 3069.22] So, while I'm not, while I don't think that mega corporations are necessarily, you know, perfect, because they're not. +[3069.22 --> 3070.22] No. +[3070.22 --> 3071.22] No. +[3071.22 --> 3072.22] No. +[3072.22 --> 3076.22] Would we rather have a mega corporation that calls itself the government? +[3076.22 --> 3081.22] I mean, did you see that recent scandal over the, shoot, what was it? +[3081.22 --> 3085.22] Canadian medals, millions wasted. +[3085.22 --> 3087.22] I'm gonna see if I can find it. +[3087.22 --> 3097.22] But like, the Canadian government wasted some ludicrous amount of money awarding medals to like members of the government for whatever they were doing. +[3097.22 --> 3102.22] Some guy won like three and refused them all because he was like looking at this program going, this is absolutely obscene. +[3102.22 --> 3109.22] How many millions of dollars of taxpayer money did you spend on like patting ourselves on the back for doing a good job? +[3109.22 --> 3110.22] Are you insane? +[3110.22 --> 3113.22] Um, I wish I could find it right now. +[3113.22 --> 3115.22] I've never heard of this actually, but that's super- +[3115.22 --> 3119.22] Yeah, I was on the news a little while ago and I just kind of remember watching it and I was just like, really? +[3119.22 --> 3120.22] Oh, holy crap. +[3120.22 --> 3121.22] Ah. +[3121.22 --> 3122.22] It's kind of depressing. +[3122.22 --> 3123.22] I don't know. +[3123.22 --> 3132.22] Like I can't imagine a company that actually has to make its own money doing something that stupid. +[3132.22 --> 3134.22] Yeah, it's not gonna work. +[3134.22 --> 3138.22] Or they're gonna do, I've, you know what, okay, I've seen that. +[3138.22 --> 3139.22] Um, challenge coins. +[3139.22 --> 3140.22] Have you heard of challenge coins? +[3140.22 --> 3141.22] You know what challenge coins are? +[3141.22 --> 3143.22] Like military challenge coins and stuff. +[3143.22 --> 3148.22] Like if you're in a military division, it's possible that they will have what's called a challenge coin. +[3148.22 --> 3151.22] Challenge coins are a very old thing to go really far back. +[3151.22 --> 3158.22] When I was in Korea, um, when Edsel and I were doing our like changing of the guard thing, +[3158.22 --> 3159.22] do you hear about that or see those pictures? +[3159.22 --> 3161.22] I heard it, but you guys told me about it. +[3161.22 --> 3162.22] Yeah, yeah. +[3162.22 --> 3164.22] When we were doing the changing of the guard thing, there was a challenge coin ceremony. +[3164.22 --> 3165.22] Okay. +[3165.22 --> 3169.22] To connect the coin or whatever, but like more modern challenge coins, like say you're a part of the 501 era. +[3169.22 --> 3171.22] You better explain what the hell a challenge coin is. +[3171.22 --> 3172.22] It's- +[3172.22 --> 3173.22] I'm probably not the only one who has no idea what you're talking about. +[3173.22 --> 3174.22] Talk to them. +[3174.22 --> 3176.22] You get some sort of coin, you can probably Google it really easily. +[3176.22 --> 3182.22] You get a coin and then it's very specific and if someone asks you for it, you have to produce it and then it has to match theirs. +[3182.22 --> 3184.22] So you know you're a part of the same crew. +[3184.22 --> 3185.22] Okay. +[3185.22 --> 3191.22] Um, obviously there's inherent issues where you can like kill someone and take theirs and then be like, hey, I'm a part of your group. +[3191.22 --> 3193.22] But this is like a very old system. +[3193.22 --> 3197.22] And challenge coins now are just kind of like really cool. +[3197.22 --> 3204.22] And I know like there's a corporation on Eve that got a whole bunch of funding together and got their own challenge coins because they're- they just look amazing. +[3204.22 --> 3207.22] Uh, I wonder if I can find that article. +[3207.22 --> 3208.22] Challenge coin Eve. +[3208.22 --> 3209.22] Yep. +[3209.22 --> 3217.22] If you just Google challenge coin Eve, the like first thing on there will show the guy. +[3217.22 --> 3220.22] And then if you find it somewhere in the comments, he has a picture of his and it just looks like super cool. +[3220.22 --> 3221.22] Right. +[3221.22 --> 3224.22] Um, I can't remember where I was going with this. +[3224.22 --> 3225.22] What were you talking about with challenge coins? +[3225.22 --> 3226.22] Right. +[3226.22 --> 3235.22] So, and I've heard of some corporations giving like, okay, all of the executives give, get challenge coins, but this is like you buy the mold, which is like 500 bucks. +[3235.22 --> 3237.22] And then each coin is like $6. +[3238.22 --> 3239.22] Right. +[3239.22 --> 3241.22] Does not cost a whole bunch of money. +[3241.22 --> 3244.22] They're not giving like trophies and medals and all this kind of stuff. +[3244.22 --> 3248.22] And even if they do, there's probably some sort of actually really good reason behind it. +[3248.22 --> 3252.22] And we'll probably do it in a somewhat reasonable and financially responsible way. +[3252.22 --> 3253.22] I like Citrix. +[3253.22 --> 3256.22] I like, uh, Krixis skills. +[3256.22 --> 3257.22] Challenge coins? +[3257.22 --> 3258.22] Please. +[3258.22 --> 3259.22] I got doge coins. +[3259.22 --> 3260.22] Oh, snap. +[3260.22 --> 3263.22] Did you even find pictures of challenge coins? +[3263.22 --> 3268.22] Uh, no, I was, I was looking for the stupid award medals that were ridiculous. +[3268.22 --> 3269.22] I couldn't find them. +[3269.22 --> 3274.22] But like there's reasons to give people awards, but you're not supposed to spend all of your money on it. +[3274.22 --> 3276.22] That's the whole point of giving someone an award. +[3276.22 --> 3277.22] Yeah. +[3277.22 --> 3278.22] Cause it's not a monetary award. +[3278.22 --> 3279.22] Yeah. +[3279.22 --> 3280.22] Like you got a Christmas bonus. +[3280.22 --> 3281.22] Yeah. +[3281.22 --> 3284.22] But it wasn't the entire profit of the company. +[3284.22 --> 3285.22] No. +[3285.22 --> 3286.22] For 2013. +[3286.22 --> 3287.22] Yeah. +[3287.22 --> 3290.22] And it's like, it's, it's supposed to like make you happy and drive you to work harder. +[3290.22 --> 3291.22] Like that's the idea of rewards. +[3291.22 --> 3292.22] Not like here. +[3292.22 --> 3293.22] We just spent all of our money. +[3293.22 --> 3295.22] I just wanted you to think of me when you're not working. +[3295.22 --> 3297.22] Every time you make food, you have to think of me. +[3297.22 --> 3298.22] And every time I play Wii U. +[3298.22 --> 3299.22] Yep. +[3299.22 --> 3302.22] Isn't that depressing? +[3302.22 --> 3305.22] Well, I work all the time. +[3305.22 --> 3306.22] Posted by. +[3306.22 --> 3309.22] So it's gotta have to, yeah, I don't know. +[3309.22 --> 3310.22] Yeah. +[3310.22 --> 3311.22] I don't know. +[3311.22 --> 3312.22] So basically it hasn't changed anything. +[3312.22 --> 3313.22] So even when I'm on lunch. +[3313.22 --> 3314.22] Yeah. +[3314.22 --> 3321.22] So Ashley posted on the forum, in home streaming beta update March 17th. +[3321.22 --> 3324.22] This was posted by Slukin. +[3324.22 --> 3330.22] And actually I got an opportunity to chat with him for about an hour on Steam Chat earlier +[3330.22 --> 3332.22] this week, which was really cool. +[3332.22 --> 3339.22] And I found out that he's like the main guy who's working on Steam in Home streaming. +[3339.22 --> 3344.22] We chatted and I actually had a really cool experience where he was talking to me about +[3344.22 --> 3345.22] something like blah, blah, blah. +[3345.22 --> 3349.22] You know, a year ago I was kind of, you know, thinking about this. +[3349.22 --> 3351.22] This was percolating in my mind. +[3351.22 --> 3355.22] And I was like, you know what, it's funny because it must have been about a year ago my +[3355.22 --> 3363.22] co-host and I were sitting in my garage talking about Nvidia Grid and how we wanted like a +[3363.22 --> 3368.22] centralized streaming device within our homes that would turn anything from a computer, +[3368.22 --> 3372.22] like a normal desktop computer to a Raspberry Pi into a full-fledged gaming system. +[3372.22 --> 3377.22] And I went looking for the article and it had been, it was one year exactly prior because +[3377.22 --> 3381.22] Nvidia had announced it at GDC the previous year. +[3381.22 --> 3386.22] And like I sent him the link to the timestamp within what was before called Livestream but +[3386.22 --> 3387.22] is now WAN show. +[3387.22 --> 3392.22] And as he's watching it, he's like, yeah man, you were like right on, like way ahead of your +[3392.22 --> 3393.22] time. +[3393.22 --> 3396.22] But like imagine this, blah, blah, blah, like Raspberry Pi. +[3396.22 --> 3401.22] And then like 30 seconds later he gets to the point in the video where I'm like, blah, blah, blah, +[3401.22 --> 3402.22] blah, blah, Raspberry Pi. +[3402.22 --> 3407.22] Imagine, you know, you could have a LAN just by everyone bringing over like, you know, +[3407.22 --> 3412.22] their favorite peripherals and like Raspberry Pis and like boom, you're set up. +[3412.22 --> 3416.22] And like with stuff like Oculus, which I wasn't even talking about at the time, all of a sudden +[3416.22 --> 3417.22] your display's here. +[3417.22 --> 3422.22] All you need is like a game controller and a Raspberry Pi and everyone could be running +[3422.22 --> 3426.22] like seriously HD plus graphics on their heads. +[3426.22 --> 3428.22] I mean sitting, okay, tell me this. +[3428.22 --> 3431.22] Is VR gaming with a group of people socializing? +[3431.22 --> 3432.22] Whoa. +[3432.22 --> 3433.22] Okay, hold on. +[3433.22 --> 3435.22] That might be a whole separate topic. +[3435.22 --> 3436.22] Yeah, yeah, yeah. +[3436.22 --> 3438.22] But anyway, they added a bunch of really cool stuff. +[3438.22 --> 3440.22] So that was a really cool conversation with him. +[3440.22 --> 3441.22] Super cool guy. +[3441.22 --> 3445.22] He talked a little bit about what it's like working for the almighty Lord and Savior, Gabe +[3445.22 --> 3449.22] in and how, you know, he like came in like right when he first started. +[3449.22 --> 3451.22] He's only been there about a year, which is really cool. +[3451.22 --> 3452.22] Yeah. +[3452.22 --> 3458.22] He went from like not working there to like creating one of the headline features of Steam +[3458.22 --> 3460.22] OS in my mind in like a year. +[3460.22 --> 3461.22] Welcome to being a Valve employee. +[3461.22 --> 3462.22] Exactly. +[3462.22 --> 3464.22] So he walked into Gabe N's office and he was like, yeah, this would be really cool. +[3464.22 --> 3466.22] And Gabe N's like, go build it. +[3466.22 --> 3468.22] And he's just like, oh no, I don't feel ready yet. +[3468.22 --> 3473.22] So we went and worked on TF2 for a couple months and then did some work on Steam OS and then +[3473.22 --> 3479.22] like had another conversation with Gabe N, who he calls Gabe, but I feel not worthy. +[3479.22 --> 3481.22] So he had another conversation. +[3481.22 --> 3483.22] He's like, yeah, I really want to try this. +[3483.22 --> 3485.22] And he's like, make it so. +[3485.22 --> 3490.22] And so he started trying, he started out trying to prove that in-home streaming wasn't +[3490.22 --> 3491.22] possible. +[3491.22 --> 3492.22] And it kept not done. +[3492.22 --> 3493.22] He kept on like fixing it. +[3493.22 --> 3496.22] Kept not working or kept working. +[3496.22 --> 3497.22] Yeah. +[3497.22 --> 3503.22] The disproving kept not working to the point where now we have this very usable service +[3503.22 --> 3506.22] and this latest batch of improvements looks pretty darn impressive. +[3506.22 --> 3509.22] Hardware accelerated encoding via QuickSync. +[3509.22 --> 3511.22] QuickSync isn't the best quality encoding in the world. +[3511.22 --> 3512.22] Nope. +[3512.22 --> 3514.22] But what it is, is extremely fast. +[3514.22 --> 3515.22] Which is what you need. +[3515.22 --> 3519.22] And on pretty much any Intel processor in the last couple of generations, as long as +[3519.22 --> 3520.22] you're on a mainstream platform. +[3520.22 --> 3524.22] They also added mouse emulation mode for controllers toggled with guide A. +[3524.22 --> 3526.22] There were, ah, see, ah, see now. +[3526.22 --> 3527.22] Okay. +[3527.22 --> 3528.22] I'm just going to go through this list. +[3528.22 --> 3533.22] Cause I talked to him about a bunch of other crap that like, is not on this list. +[3533.22 --> 3535.22] And I, so maybe shouldn't cover it. +[3535.22 --> 3539.22] I don't want to accidentally talk about anything that's like going to be a problem for him. +[3539.22 --> 3541.22] Don't want to bring that bridge before we get to go to Valve. +[3541.22 --> 3542.22] Yeah. +[3542.22 --> 3543.22] Yeah. +[3543.22 --> 3544.22] Yeah. +[3544.22 --> 3545.22] Yeah. +[3545.22 --> 3546.22] Okay. +[3546.22 --> 3548.22] Something I did talk to him about is like, could we maybe like get an invite down there +[3548.22 --> 3549.22] at some point? +[3549.22 --> 3553.22] And he didn't promise anything, but like he really liked our video about in-house streaming. +[3553.22 --> 3556.22] So seriously, I think it like made his month. +[3556.22 --> 3557.22] That's good. +[3557.22 --> 3560.22] To have us make that video and like get it. +[3560.22 --> 3561.22] And we want to do an update. +[3561.22 --> 3562.22] Yes. +[3562.22 --> 3563.22] Just not now necessarily. +[3563.22 --> 3564.22] I'll probably wait until it's out of beta. +[3564.22 --> 3565.22] Yeah. +[3565.22 --> 3570.22] Um, the other really cool stuff that they added is a 30 megabit bandwidth option, which +[3570.22 --> 3576.22] was before the maximum with an unlimited bandwidth option that's been increased to 100 megabit. +[3576.22 --> 3578.22] So we could be seeing better image quality. +[3578.22 --> 3579.22] We wanted that. +[3579.22 --> 3581.22] That's something we noticed when we were testing. +[3581.22 --> 3585.22] Um, settings to, uh, enable traffic quality of service priority and the advanced host options. +[3585.22 --> 3588.22] Um, honestly, it's getting better, like almost daily. +[3588.22 --> 3592.22] That was one of the challenges when I was benchmarking it was the, and I told him this, I was like, +[3592.22 --> 3595.22] dude, the bloody thing was changing while I was trying to test it. +[3595.22 --> 3601.22] I managed to find like two days where you didn't do an update and I got my video done and then it updated the next day. +[3601.22 --> 3604.22] He was just like, like, colon D. +[3604.22 --> 3607.22] Thank you. +[3607.22 --> 3612.22] Oh, for some reason I signed out of my Google doc. +[3612.22 --> 3613.22] Anyway, in-home streaming got an update. +[3613.22 --> 3615.22] So that was, that was the point of all that. +[3615.22 --> 3617.22] We can stay on the valve idea. +[3617.22 --> 3618.22] Yeah. +[3618.22 --> 3621.22] Let's, let's ride the valve train to like gaming, enlightened, +[3621.22 --> 3623.22] enlightenment station. +[3623.22 --> 3624.22] I'm so free to play. +[3624.22 --> 3626.22] I'm finally almost done. +[3626.22 --> 3627.22] Portal two. +[3627.22 --> 3628.22] Finally. +[3628.22 --> 3629.22] I thought you said you were finally done. +[3629.22 --> 3632.22] I thought I was, I have played like another two and a half hours. +[3632.22 --> 3634.22] I thought I was close to the end, but I wasn't like that though. +[3634.22 --> 3635.22] Yeah. +[3635.22 --> 3636.22] Portal makes you think you're like done. +[3636.22 --> 3638.22] And then it's just like, Oh, Nope. +[3638.22 --> 3639.22] By the way. +[3639.22 --> 3640.22] Yeah. +[3640.22 --> 3642.22] Um, so yeah, I'm still really enjoying it though. +[3642.22 --> 3644.22] It's fantastic, but I can't start bravely default till I'm done. +[3644.22 --> 3645.22] Portal two. +[3645.22 --> 3646.22] I'm determined to finish it. +[3646.22 --> 3647.22] Yeah. +[3647.22 --> 3648.22] Yeah. +[3648.22 --> 3650.22] I don't know what valve news do you want to do. +[3650.22 --> 3651.22] There's actually a bunch. +[3651.22 --> 3652.22] Yeah, I know. +[3652.22 --> 3657.22] It's like how much ass can we kiss? +[3657.22 --> 3658.22] You know what? +[3658.22 --> 3659.22] Okay. +[3659.22 --> 3661.22] Let's, let's not, let's not kiss up. +[3661.22 --> 3664.22] Let's, let's do, let's do like brutal valve news first. +[3664.22 --> 3665.22] No. +[3665.22 --> 3666.22] Okay. +[3666.22 --> 3667.22] Look who doesn't hate Apple. +[3667.22 --> 3668.22] The one and only Gabe N. +[3668.22 --> 3671.22] I don't know why this was holding an iPhone and an iPad. +[3671.22 --> 3674.22] We don't know who this guy is, but I just thought this was funny. +[3674.22 --> 3675.22] I saw some dude on Reddit. +[3675.22 --> 3676.22] Um, I don't know. +[3676.22 --> 3677.22] Like, I just think it's funny. +[3677.22 --> 3678.22] Steam works on Mac. +[3678.22 --> 3679.22] I know. +[3679.22 --> 3680.22] Like they, they like push Mac support games. +[3680.22 --> 3681.22] Yeah. +[3681.22 --> 3685.22] Gabe N openly is hating on windows lately, not OS 10 and not, not Linux. +[3685.22 --> 3687.22] That's why I was like, why is everyone so surprised? +[3687.22 --> 3688.22] I just, well, okay. +[3688.22 --> 3689.22] It's kind of like, it's kind of funny. +[3689.22 --> 3699.22] It's probably not a matter of them being surprised as more a matter of the internet has like a culture. +[3699.22 --> 3700.22] Like, yeah, yeah. +[3700.22 --> 3706.22] And it's like, there's like the internet culture and then there's like the internet counterculture, you know? +[3706.22 --> 3711.22] And so the internet culture went on this like Apple thing and then like Android became the counterculture. +[3711.22 --> 3718.22] And then when Android goes mainstream, everyone will probably want like the, the cool kids on the internet will probably shift to something else. +[3718.22 --> 3729.22] And so the cool kids on the internet right now, ourselves included, are all running Android and expect that anyone who's a tweaker or like an enthusiast is going to be doing the same thing. +[3729.22 --> 3730.22] But he's an enthusiast about other stuff. +[3730.22 --> 3731.22] He's not really a mobile platform guy. +[3731.22 --> 3732.22] I know. +[3732.22 --> 3734.22] And a lot of game developers use Apple. +[3734.22 --> 3735.22] Just throw that out there. +[3735.22 --> 3737.22] Like that's a thing. +[3737.22 --> 3745.22] Um, and, uh, but yeah, but that's, I think why people found it so surprising was because they would have expected him to be on whatever sort of the internet bandwagon is. +[3745.22 --> 3748.22] I just, I just personally don't care. +[3748.22 --> 3759.22] As long as his desktop that he's doing all of his like work for steam on is actually, it's not even probably, he probably has a Mac so that he can work on stuff for steam on Mac. +[3759.22 --> 3760.22] He probably has both. +[3760.22 --> 3761.22] It's, it's Gabe in. +[3761.22 --> 3762.22] I'm fully expecting that both. +[3762.22 --> 3763.22] I don't know. +[3763.22 --> 3764.22] I didn't think this was that. +[3764.22 --> 3766.22] He's worth like over a billion dollars or something. +[3766.22 --> 3771.22] So I think if he probably has multiple of both, if he felt like having a Mac pro, I think it's a non issue. +[3771.22 --> 3772.22] Yeah. +[3772.22 --> 3773.22] Okay. +[3773.22 --> 3778.22] Uh, let's get into the new steam controller, which is no longer interesting. +[3778.22 --> 3780.22] It's still kind of interesting. +[3780.22 --> 3781.22] Oh, come on now. +[3781.22 --> 3783.22] We knew exactly what these buttons were though, which was kind of cool. +[3783.22 --> 3784.22] Remember we called it out. +[3784.22 --> 3788.22] We were like the, the ones on the right are going to be ABXY and the ones on the left are going to be arrow buttons. +[3788.22 --> 3789.22] Oh yeah. +[3789.22 --> 3790.22] It's going to be essentially a D pad. +[3790.22 --> 3791.22] We said that. +[3791.22 --> 3793.22] And when they were unlabeled, then now they're like, boop. +[3793.22 --> 3797.22] Arrow buttons make for a terrible D pad and valve should know better. +[3797.22 --> 3798.22] That's all I'll say about the design. +[3798.22 --> 3800.22] I'll let you launch into what you think about it. +[3800.22 --> 3801.22] I hate that. +[3801.22 --> 3806.22] But no one other than Nintendo has seemingly been able to figure out D pads in the last little while. +[3806.22 --> 3807.22] Even Nintendo. +[3807.22 --> 3808.22] I actually, the one on the Wii was okay. +[3808.22 --> 3810.22] The one on the Wiimote is actually not bad. +[3810.22 --> 3813.22] Um, so like, I don't know what's going on there. +[3813.22 --> 3818.22] Maybe people just suck at making D pads nowadays, but I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it. +[3818.22 --> 3819.22] They don't like the D. +[3819.22 --> 3824.22] But I would still rather a D pad, even if it was kind of a crappy D pad than buttons. +[3824.22 --> 3825.22] Cause it's just weird. +[3825.22 --> 3826.22] And I want a D pad. +[3826.22 --> 3832.22] It's still different because it has the touch screen areas and it's still going to enable you to play. +[3832.22 --> 3833.22] Still not sold on those. +[3833.22 --> 3834.22] I'm not either. +[3834.22 --> 3837.22] Um, but it's still different. +[3837.22 --> 3847.22] You know, I think I would actually rather some totally janky solution like a couch master versus being stuck gaming with touch pads. +[3847.22 --> 3849.22] Even if I was playing Civ 5. +[3851.22 --> 3858.22] When's the last time you had an opportunity to game on your notebook and you didn't just go to the extra effort to go find a mouse. +[3858.22 --> 3861.22] Gaming on a touch pad is terrible. +[3861.22 --> 3862.22] Yeah. +[3862.22 --> 3864.22] But then like, oh, I don't know. +[3864.22 --> 3865.22] It's terrible. +[3865.22 --> 3866.22] Yeah, it is. +[3866.22 --> 3867.22] It's terrible. +[3867.22 --> 3872.22] The only reason why I always use the Civ 5 one is like, I could also say XCOM. +[3872.22 --> 3873.22] The new XCOM game. +[3873.22 --> 3874.22] Okay. +[3874.22 --> 3876.22] You could probably do it fairly easily with a touch pad. +[3876.22 --> 3877.22] But you know what? +[3877.22 --> 3880.22] I guarantee it works great with anything that isn't a touch pad as well. +[3880.22 --> 3882.22] Because that's just how that game is set up. +[3882.22 --> 3883.22] Right. +[3883.22 --> 3887.22] Um, so Civ is really the champion for this controller. +[3887.22 --> 3889.22] But yeah, I don't know. +[3889.22 --> 3890.22] I don't care. +[3890.22 --> 3894.22] I mean, I'm going to play Civ on my desktop because I'm going to be playing with other people. +[3894.22 --> 3898.22] And then it's going to go so slow that I'm going to tab out in between turns anyways. +[3898.22 --> 3900.22] Um, so like, so I can do other things. +[3900.22 --> 3902.22] So I don't really see it being that big of a deal. +[3902.22 --> 3907.22] Given Valve's openness, what I would like to see, because I've held the controller ergonomically. +[3907.22 --> 3911.22] I don't, I don't have, you know, a ton of complaints about it. +[3911.22 --> 3917.22] Um, I would like to see someone just adopt their design and get rid of the touch pads and throw, like, joysticks in there. +[3917.22 --> 3922.22] Because if you were to do that and put a proper D-pad on it, then all of a sudden, now we've got some buttons on the back. +[3922.22 --> 3929.22] You just changed everything except for the buttons on the back, the thing that goes in your palm, and the ABXY buttons. +[3929.22 --> 3934.22] Or we could all just go back to using SNES controllers because they're clearly superior to everything else. +[3934.22 --> 3935.22] Xbox 360. +[3935.22 --> 3938.22] Xbox 360 is okay, but the D-pad is terrible! +[3938.22 --> 3939.22] Yeah, but you've got thumbsticks. +[3939.22 --> 3942.22] You've got thumbsticks, but that's not great for platforming. +[3942.22 --> 3943.22] For platforming. +[3943.22 --> 3944.22] Because that's all you want to do. +[3944.22 --> 3945.22] You know what? Screw you! +[3945.22 --> 3950.22] I like platforming. No, I play platformers all the time. I'm just saying, that's all you want to do. +[3950.22 --> 3952.22] That's literally the only reason why you care. +[3952.22 --> 3955.22] I also still use a D-pad for other stuff. +[3955.22 --> 3956.22] And, okay. +[3956.22 --> 3965.22] And like, you know what? Okay, the shield I just traded you, has kind of a crappy A button. +[3965.22 --> 3967.22] Like, it kind of sticks a bit. Did you notice already? +[3967.22 --> 3968.22] Yeah, a little bit. But it's like... +[3968.22 --> 3969.22] It's not that bad. +[3969.22 --> 3970.22] Yeah, I know. +[3970.22 --> 3972.22] But it has a better D-pad than mine. +[3972.22 --> 3974.22] It's... I like the D-pad. +[3974.22 --> 3976.22] The D-pad's okay. Mine's very clicky. +[3976.22 --> 3980.22] I haven't played with it a lot yet. I only played one game and for not very long. +[3980.22 --> 3982.22] Have you tried using GameStream on it yet? +[3982.22 --> 3983.22] Yes. +[3983.22 --> 3986.22] Oh, but your wireless is terrible in your place, isn't it? +[3986.22 --> 3987.22] Um... +[3987.22 --> 3989.22] Yes, but I did it upstairs. +[3989.22 --> 3992.22] There's a D-Link router in my car. +[3992.22 --> 3993.22] I did it like... +[3993.22 --> 3994.22] It's an AC dual band router. +[3994.22 --> 3995.22] I did it close to the router. +[3995.22 --> 3996.22] Right. +[3996.22 --> 3997.22] When I was doing actual GameStream. +[3997.22 --> 4000.22] And then I ended up just watching a movie on it off my nest. +[4000.22 --> 4001.22] Right. +[4001.22 --> 4002.22] Because I was like, this makes sense. +[4002.22 --> 4003.22] Yep. +[4003.22 --> 4004.22] You know what's funny? +[4004.22 --> 4008.22] The funny thing about Shield is I think people didn't understand what it was. +[4008.22 --> 4010.22] And I think that's a lot of the hate. +[4010.22 --> 4012.22] People were like, it's a game console. +[4012.22 --> 4013.22] And that's what Nvidia's pushing. +[4013.22 --> 4014.22] But I actually disagree. +[4014.22 --> 4015.22] Yeah. +[4015.22 --> 4018.22] Um, and then people were like, oh, I'd rather game on my phone. +[4018.22 --> 4019.22] And I went, well, no, this isn't a phone. +[4019.22 --> 4020.22] No. +[4020.22 --> 4021.22] It's a tablet. +[4021.22 --> 4022.22] That's what it is. +[4022.22 --> 4024.22] It's a small tablet. +[4024.22 --> 4027.22] And what makes it a tablet is not the size of the screen. +[4027.22 --> 4032.22] What makes it a tablet is the way that it comes with a stand in it. +[4032.22 --> 4034.22] That's the funny thing to me about it. +[4034.22 --> 4040.22] The reason I completely stopped using my iPad and started using my Shield for everything. +[4040.22 --> 4042.22] I used to use my iPad all the time, almost every day. +[4042.22 --> 4045.22] Now I use my Shield almost every day. +[4045.22 --> 4052.22] It's because it sits on this controller thing that I can put it next to the bath. +[4052.22 --> 4055.22] Or if I'm cooking, it's always got a stand on it. +[4055.22 --> 4060.22] And how you can integrate, like, I haven't been a huge push of Shield before, but now +[4060.22 --> 4063.22] I've actually had some extended use with it, which is really nice. +[4063.22 --> 4068.22] Um, how they actually integrated using like D-pad and ABXY buttons in the OS. +[4068.22 --> 4069.22] Yes. +[4069.22 --> 4070.22] Is freakishly good. +[4070.22 --> 4071.22] Yeah, it's really good. +[4071.22 --> 4074.22] Like I assumed it was going to be terrible and I was just going to be touching everything. +[4074.22 --> 4075.22] No. +[4075.22 --> 4076.22] And I started that way. +[4076.22 --> 4080.22] And then I just like instinctively pressed B and was like, what? +[4080.22 --> 4081.22] That works? +[4081.22 --> 4083.22] Yeah, no, it's, the UI is really good. +[4083.22 --> 4084.22] And it's, to me it's a tablet. +[4084.22 --> 4085.22] It has great speakers. +[4085.22 --> 4086.22] I can see that. +[4086.22 --> 4087.22] So it's great for content watching. +[4087.22 --> 4090.22] And you're not going to use it for, uh, like phone stuff. +[4090.22 --> 4091.22] That's right. +[4091.22 --> 4092.22] You're not going to phone someone on it. +[4092.22 --> 4093.22] Yeah, exactly. +[4093.22 --> 4094.22] So it's not perfect. +[4094.22 --> 4095.22] No. +[4095.22 --> 4096.22] And I'm really stoked for Shield too. +[4096.22 --> 4097.22] Yeah. +[4097.22 --> 4100.22] Like it needs hardware volume buttons for the love of everything in video. +[4100.22 --> 4101.22] What is up with that? +[4101.22 --> 4103.22] That's true, but that's not the worst thing either. +[4103.22 --> 4104.22] No, it's not the worst thing. +[4104.22 --> 4105.22] It was manageable. +[4105.22 --> 4107.22] Um, it needs to be lighter. +[4107.22 --> 4108.22] It needs to be lots of things. +[4108.22 --> 4111.22] I'm not a huge fan of how it sits in your hands. +[4111.22 --> 4117.22] You know what's funny is I wasn't at first and now that I use it more often than I use +[4117.22 --> 4122.22] an Xbox 360 controller, the Xbox 360 controller feels kind of cheap and crappy to me. +[4122.22 --> 4123.22] Hmm. +[4123.22 --> 4124.22] The Shield has a really solid feel. +[4124.22 --> 4125.22] I like, okay, I like the weight. +[4125.22 --> 4126.22] And the rubber grip on the back. +[4126.22 --> 4127.22] That's not what I don't like about it. +[4127.22 --> 4128.22] And the rubber grip on the back. +[4128.22 --> 4131.22] And the rubber grip is fine, but it's like, it's the weird, it's just how my fingers naturally +[4131.22 --> 4132.22] sit on it. +[4132.22 --> 4133.22] It's very odd. +[4133.22 --> 4134.22] Give it some more time. +[4134.22 --> 4135.22] I'm going to. +[4135.22 --> 4136.22] And then we'll talk again. +[4136.22 --> 4138.22] I've very recently started using it, so I'm going to. +[4138.22 --> 4142.22] I should have given that to you like months ago to use, just because I talk about it so +[4142.22 --> 4143.22] much. +[4143.22 --> 4144.22] It'd be great if you had extended. +[4144.22 --> 4145.22] And you have to. +[4145.22 --> 4148.22] I know, I know, I just kept not getting around to copying all the data off of it. +[4148.22 --> 4151.22] I'm basically a terrible person. +[4151.22 --> 4154.22] But yeah, so far I've been enjoying it a lot. +[4154.22 --> 4159.22] Wait, before we, before we get into this, we have, we have a couple of sponsor messages. +[4159.22 --> 4160.22] Woo! +[4160.22 --> 4161.22] Yeah! +[4161.22 --> 4163.22] So first, Squarespace. +[4163.22 --> 4168.22] Visit squarespace.com slash Linus for a free trial and 10% off. +[4168.22 --> 4171.22] The software that lets you make a beautiful website. +[4171.22 --> 4176.22] And you know what's really funny about the whole Squarespace integration is at, okay, +[4176.22 --> 4177.22] it went through phases. +[4177.22 --> 4182.22] At the beginning of us talking about Squarespace and how it's, you know, I'm going to work in +[4182.22 --> 4186.22] the sponsor messages here, how it's like fast and easy way to build a beautiful website. +[4186.22 --> 4187.22] And you can do it really quickly. +[4187.22 --> 4190.22] They have a free trial that lasts for two weeks so you can set everything up the way +[4190.22 --> 4191.22] you'd like. +[4191.22 --> 4192.22] Super simple to use. +[4192.22 --> 4193.22] Web-based UI. +[4193.22 --> 4194.22] It's all cloud-based. +[4194.22 --> 4195.22] Dynamic server hosting. +[4195.22 --> 4198.22] So if you get a ton of traffic that can scale automatically with you. +[4198.22 --> 4199.22] All that stuff. +[4199.22 --> 4200.22] Buzzword. +[4200.22 --> 4201.22] That's really good about Squarespace. +[4201.22 --> 4204.22] And it's funny because when we first started doing these integrations, we had a whole bunch of +[4204.22 --> 4205.22] people sign up right away. +[4205.22 --> 4206.22] Yep. +[4206.22 --> 4210.22] And then there was like a lull where people were like, whoa, I don't want to hear about +[4210.22 --> 4211.22] Squarespace anymore. +[4211.22 --> 4212.22] I don't even know what it is. +[4212.22 --> 4213.22] Now, you know what's funny? +[4213.22 --> 4218.22] Is like I'm seeing more and more people like thanking me on Twitter for drawing their attention +[4218.22 --> 4222.22] to Squarespace because they're just like, yeah, I was like doing something else before +[4222.22 --> 4224.22] and it's like super stupid. +[4224.22 --> 4227.22] And Squarespace is not super stupid. +[4227.22 --> 4231.22] I'm like, thank you for the 10% off code because it's kind of awesome. +[4231.22 --> 4235.22] And regardless of whether you decide to give us credit for your Squarespace account, if +[4235.22 --> 4238.22] you sign up for a full year, you get a free domain. +[4238.22 --> 4239.22] They will throw that in for you. +[4239.22 --> 4240.22] So guys, there you go. +[4240.22 --> 4241.22] Squarespace. +[4241.22 --> 4242.22] Squarespace. +[4242.22 --> 4245.22] Beautiful websites that work on mobile, desktop, laptops. +[4245.22 --> 4247.22] I went ahead and went to the wrong thing. +[4247.22 --> 4251.22] I wanted to go to my screen here so you can see our Squarespace website, which I can like, +[4251.22 --> 4256.22] I can touch and I can use a mouse and keyboard if I want. +[4256.22 --> 4257.22] It's nice and snappy. +[4257.22 --> 4258.22] It's lansmediagroup.com. +[4258.22 --> 4265.22] You guys can all hit it as hard as you want and it will not care at all. +[4265.22 --> 4271.22] You know what's really funny is I don't know if we actually have Squarespace listed as one +[4271.22 --> 4273.22] of our sponsors on our site. +[4273.22 --> 4274.22] On Squarespace? +[4274.22 --> 4275.22] Yes, we do. +[4275.22 --> 4276.22] There they are. +[4276.22 --> 4277.22] All right. +[4277.22 --> 4284.22] So moving on to a sponsor that we don't actually have listed on the site because we compiled that +[4284.22 --> 4286.22] list a long time ago. +[4286.22 --> 4291.22] This is Dollar Shave Club and we've gotten a lot of really positive feedback about this +[4291.22 --> 4293.22] one already. +[4293.22 --> 4298.22] I've had a ton of people message me telling me that, okay, yup, I switched to Dollar Shave +[4298.22 --> 4300.22] Club and it's amazing, it's awesome. +[4300.22 --> 4303.22] I think most of them probably haven't even gotten their initial orders yet. +[4303.22 --> 4306.22] We did the first integration like a couple weeks ago, right? +[4306.22 --> 4307.22] Yeah, they could have definitely gotten it by now. +[4307.22 --> 4308.22] Yeah, they probably have. +[4308.22 --> 4309.22] They probably have. +[4309.22 --> 4310.22] Especially the US guys. +[4310.22 --> 4314.22] I had some people saying like, yeah, the razors are blanking great. +[4314.22 --> 4319.22] Now, I'll do, I'll, okay, like their whole ad, I'm going to switch over to my screen here +[4319.22 --> 4320.22] for a moment. +[4320.22 --> 4325.22] This is a fantastic ad and aside from what I'm saying during the show here, you guys should +[4325.22 --> 4332.22] definitely watch it because their CEO is kind of a marketing genius here. +[4332.22 --> 4337.22] So he basically walks through their warehouse, talks about how they're creating American jobs, +[4337.22 --> 4341.22] they were able to bleep out the swear words that go with their, our blades are blanking +[4341.22 --> 4342.22] great slogan. +[4342.22 --> 4348.22] Talk about sort of the money that you can save by switching to Dollar Shave Club versus going +[4348.22 --> 4350.22] and buying razors at the store. +[4350.22 --> 4353.22] We talked about this at the beginning of the show, but just the fact that there's like, +[4353.22 --> 4359.22] you know, an armed guard next to the replacement razor blades is just, it creates extra hassle +[4359.22 --> 4364.22] when already I know both of the people sitting in this room are just plain too lazy to go +[4364.22 --> 4366.22] to the store to buy new razors. +[4366.22 --> 4370.22] Like, okay, what I would do is not as bad as you. +[4370.22 --> 4372.22] What would you do? +[4372.22 --> 4377.22] I would like in my first integration for Dollar Shave Club, I made a joke where like I was +[4377.22 --> 4383.22] using a Hobbit replica stain and I was like, maybe I can get one more shave out of this +[4383.22 --> 4385.22] Elven blade, but I would do that. +[4385.22 --> 4391.22] As so I, instead of having a razor blade, I've gone, I've gone, I know, I know 500 more +[4391.22 --> 4392.22] shaves. +[4392.22 --> 4396.22] Like instead of using it for a week, which is what Dollar Shave Club says, look, use it for +[4396.22 --> 4398.22] a week, get a really nice clean shave. +[4398.22 --> 4402.22] And next month, four more are going to show up, use them each for a week. +[4402.22 --> 4404.22] That is the way it should be done. +[4404.22 --> 4407.22] The way that I would do it is I would use them for like three weeks. +[4407.22 --> 4410.22] And then you were saying before the show started. +[4410.22 --> 4413.22] I literally don't think I've bought razors for a year. +[4413.22 --> 4417.22] And I think it was like, I don't even think I've, no, I didn't buy them. +[4417.22 --> 4421.22] My mom got them for me, not this Christmas, but the one before. +[4421.22 --> 4423.22] So it's been more than a year. +[4423.22 --> 4427.22] It's been like a year and what, like three months, almost four months. +[4427.22 --> 4431.22] It's been about a year and four months since I bought new razors. +[4431.22 --> 4432.22] That's disgusting. +[4432.22 --> 4436.22] And I just grind them against my face because there's some amount of metal there and it +[4436.22 --> 4437.22] has some amount of an edge. +[4437.22 --> 4440.22] So it's just going to eventually pull off all the hair. +[4440.22 --> 4441.22] All right. +[4441.22 --> 4444.22] So the service is available in Canada, the US and Australia. +[4444.22 --> 4446.22] I'm going to kind of go ahead and fire up my screen here. +[4446.22 --> 4453.22] So for less than $10 a month for even the executive, which is their premium six blade razor. +[4453.22 --> 4457.22] That's like made in outer space or something like that. +[4457.22 --> 4459.22] I mean, their marketing is really silly. +[4459.22 --> 4462.22] I kind of like these guys because they're just, they, they're not too serious about it. +[4462.22 --> 4464.22] They're like, yeah, we have a service. +[4464.22 --> 4466.22] And like, you know what? +[4466.22 --> 4467.22] It's razor blades, man. +[4467.22 --> 4471.22] Like there's only so much we can say about it, but look, they're really good. +[4471.22 --> 4472.22] They're really cheap. +[4472.22 --> 4476.22] They're really convenient because for me, the big obstacle was just, I didn't feel like +[4476.22 --> 4477.22] going and dealing with it. +[4477.22 --> 4480.22] So I would have my wife buy them after like the three weeks. +[4480.22 --> 4484.22] So what I just said, looks at Slick, I never knew he didn't use razors. +[4484.22 --> 4485.22] It's like, I do, man. +[4485.22 --> 4487.22] I do actually have to all the time. +[4487.22 --> 4489.22] There's a reason why this sits here. +[4489.22 --> 4492.22] It's because it's way too much to deal with if I don't let it sit here. +[4492.22 --> 4496.22] So aside from their razors, they have Dr. Carver's easy shave butter, which I actually did try. +[4496.22 --> 4498.22] And it works. +[4498.22 --> 4499.22] Unlike shaving foam. +[4499.22 --> 4502.22] Is there an option so you can get like a cheaper set that doesn't have the butter? +[4502.22 --> 4503.22] Yeah. +[4503.22 --> 4504.22] Okay. +[4504.22 --> 4505.22] Yeah, the butter's an optional item. +[4505.22 --> 4507.22] Cause I know some people don't use it cause some people are like me and they just shave in the shower. +[4507.22 --> 4508.22] Yeah. +[4508.22 --> 4512.22] But it's actually kind of nice because unlike shaving cream, it's not opaque. +[4512.22 --> 4514.22] So it's clear so you can kind of see what you're doing. +[4514.22 --> 4515.22] Okay. +[4515.22 --> 4516.22] That's actually pretty helpful. +[4516.22 --> 4517.22] And it softens up the hairs just like kind of you'd expect. +[4517.22 --> 4518.22] And it smells really nice. +[4518.22 --> 4519.22] I don't know if you smelled it. +[4519.22 --> 4520.22] You smell it? +[4520.22 --> 4521.22] Yeah. +[4521.22 --> 4522.22] It smells nice. +[4522.22 --> 4524.22] And it's not like awkward to smell that? +[4524.22 --> 4525.22] Like the... +[4525.22 --> 4527.22] Okay, cause I gotta bring these up too. +[4527.22 --> 4528.22] One Wipe Charlies! +[4528.22 --> 4532.22] The ad for this one actually was like... +[4532.22 --> 4536.22] It was like awkward to the point where he's like, yeah, he gets off a toilet. +[4536.22 --> 4540.22] He's like, sometimes you don't have time to jump in the shower and rinse off your butt. +[4540.22 --> 4543.22] So we made these peppermint scented Butt Wipes for Men. +[4543.22 --> 4544.22] One Wipe Charlies. +[4544.22 --> 4545.22] And I really just... +[4545.22 --> 4546.22] Oh. +[4546.22 --> 4548.22] Talking about these makes me feel a little uncomfortable. +[4548.22 --> 4549.22] But there you go guys. +[4549.22 --> 4550.22] Dollar Shave Club. +[4550.22 --> 4551.22] Bathroom supplies. +[4551.22 --> 4553.22] Direct to your door. +[4553.22 --> 4554.22] Once a month. +[4554.22 --> 4555.22] We've actually had... +[4555.22 --> 4560.22] There's someone walking by outside who's listening to me talk about Butt Wipes for Men. +[4560.22 --> 4562.22] And that's a little bit awkward. +[4562.22 --> 4567.22] But the point is, we've had over a hundred of our viewers already sign up for Dollar Shave Club. +[4567.22 --> 4568.22] So chicken or dog. +[4568.22 --> 4571.22] And she was just staring out the window when he said Butt Wipes for Men. +[4572.22 --> 4573.22] Okay. +[4573.22 --> 4574.22] Okay, I'm sorry. +[4574.22 --> 4575.22] Yeah, we got a bunch of people. +[4575.22 --> 4576.22] Did I even tell you that? +[4576.22 --> 4577.22] Yeah. +[4577.22 --> 4579.22] Yeah, like we've had over a hundred people sign up. +[4579.22 --> 4581.22] And everything I've seen from people has been super positive so far. +[4581.22 --> 4585.22] So guys, I would love for you to drop me a line on Twitter and let me know. +[4585.22 --> 4588.22] Any one of our sponsors that you decide to use. +[4588.22 --> 4589.22] Whether it's Hotspot Shield. +[4589.22 --> 4590.22] Yeah, yeah. +[4590.22 --> 4594.22] Oh, Hotspot Shield has a Design Our New Slogan contest that are running on Facebook right now. +[4594.22 --> 4596.22] You guys should probably check that out. +[4596.22 --> 4600.22] Facebook Hotspot Shield Design Slogan or something like that. +[4600.22 --> 4604.22] Or come up with our new slogan is the thing that they're running right now. +[4604.22 --> 4608.22] So whoever it is, we'd love to hear from you guys that you're using it and that it's great. +[4608.22 --> 4611.22] And we'd also love to hear from you that you're using it and it sucks. +[4611.22 --> 4612.22] Yeah. +[4612.22 --> 4616.22] Because we have the inside track with these companies and if they're doing something that's making you unhappy, +[4616.22 --> 4622.22] A, we don't want sponsors that are making our viewers unhappy and we will cut them off if there's a problem. +[4622.22 --> 4624.22] Seriously, we will cut them off. +[4624.22 --> 4627.22] And number two is because we're able to bring your problem to their attention, +[4627.22 --> 4630.22] we can get it resolved for you pretty quickly most of the time. +[4630.22 --> 4633.22] So we'd love to hear from you guys about that. +[4633.22 --> 4634.22] Alright. +[4634.22 --> 4637.22] We had such a good rapport with people around here. +[4637.22 --> 4638.22] I know. +[4638.22 --> 4642.22] They're going to be like, they talk about butt wipes in their house. +[4642.22 --> 4644.22] What are they doing in there?

+[4772.22 --> 4774.22] Oh man, I knew you were gonna go there. +[4774.22 --> 4775.22] Um... +[4775.22 --> 4776.22] But it's still really interesting. +[4776.22 --> 4778.22] It covers some really interesting stuff. +[4778.22 --> 4782.22] And one thing that I really appreciated was while it is a documentary about Valve, +[4782.22 --> 4786.22] about Dota, they didn't just thump the hammer the whole time. +[4786.22 --> 4789.22] They actually went into like, these are problems. +[4789.22 --> 4790.22] Thump the hammer? +[4790.22 --> 4791.22] What does that even mean? +[4791.22 --> 4793.22] I was gonna say drum, but then I said hammer and it just didn't work. +[4793.22 --> 4794.22] Um... +[4794.22 --> 4795.22] Cause it would be like, pound the drum, you know? +[4795.22 --> 4796.22] That was the whole point. +[4796.22 --> 4798.22] Thump the drum wouldn't even be right. +[4798.22 --> 4799.22] It's close. +[4799.22 --> 4800.22] Comb it with a brick. +[4800.22 --> 4801.22] Go ahead. +[4801.22 --> 4802.22] Anyways. +[4802.22 --> 4803.22] Um, so... +[4803.22 --> 4806.22] It was interesting to see like, okay, these are all the problems that these players have +[4806.22 --> 4807.22] actually gone through. +[4807.22 --> 4808.22] Right. +[4808.22 --> 4811.22] And these are the issues that they're having trying to be professional gamers. +[4811.22 --> 4812.22] It's not easy. +[4812.22 --> 4814.22] They're not making much money. +[4814.22 --> 4815.22] Right. +[4815.22 --> 4816.22] It brought up all these problems. +[4816.22 --> 4820.22] Like despite it being a million dollar tournament, a lot of them really didn't make enough money. +[4820.22 --> 4821.22] Make a million dollars. +[4821.22 --> 4822.22] Yeah, no. +[4822.22 --> 4826.22] Like, and that was a really interesting angle that they came around and it, it, it seemed +[4826.22 --> 4832.22] more like a push to legitimize gaming in general instead of being an advertisement while still +[4832.22 --> 4834.22] being a documentary by Valve about Dota. +[4834.22 --> 4836.22] Which I found really interesting. +[4836.22 --> 4841.22] And coming from an angle where I'm not super interested in Dota, much more interested currently +[4841.22 --> 4845.22] in Counter-Strike, another Valve title, but there was nothing in here about Counter-Strike. +[4845.22 --> 4847.22] Um, still super interesting. +[4847.22 --> 4848.22] Okay. +[4848.22 --> 4853.22] So I, I appreciate it if you're into gaming on a professional level at all, like if you +[4853.22 --> 4857.22] like watching professional gaming, if you like any of that kind of stuff, or even if you're +[4857.22 --> 4859.22] just a gamer, I could see this being very interesting. +[4859.22 --> 4864.22] Um, and you don't have to be very well versed to appreciate the film. +[4864.22 --> 4865.22] They explain everything. +[4865.22 --> 4867.22] So I wouldn't worry about that either. +[4867.22 --> 4870.22] Like I can show this to my mom and she'll get it and it'll be fine. +[4870.22 --> 4874.22] One Man Pizza says if you liked free to play, go Google the Smash Brothers. +[4874.22 --> 4876.22] Or the Smash Bros. +[4876.22 --> 4879.22] Apparently it's a really good gaming documentary as well. +[4879.22 --> 4881.22] Yeah, Indie Game the Movie is really good. +[4881.22 --> 4882.22] Uh, I watched that. +[4882.22 --> 4883.22] That was really good. +[4883.22 --> 4884.22] Yeah, Indie Game the Movie is great. +[4884.22 --> 4888.22] Uh, so these are, those are all really interesting things to check out. +[4888.22 --> 4891.22] Um, the Washington Post bring up a few things. +[4891.22 --> 4896.22] They, Andrea Peterson was saying that it's an extended commercial, an effective extended commercial, +[4896.22 --> 4898.22] but definitely an extended commercial. +[4898.22 --> 4903.22] And they go through the thing talking about how like, they brought up, they followed cliche characters. +[4903.22 --> 4905.22] And I'm like, it's a documentary, man. +[4905.22 --> 4908.22] They called, they followed like captains of teams. +[4908.22 --> 4910.22] Where do you think cliches come from? +[4910.22 --> 4919.22] And like, it's, it's one thing too, because, um, growing up with friends that were trying to do it and myself trying to do it and like people that were wildly more successful than I was. +[4919.22 --> 4923.22] And all this kind of stuff, like we all went through this stuff. +[4923.22 --> 4926.22] So, you're wrong, people from Washington Post. +[4926.22 --> 4930.22] It's really good that they covered that because this legitimately happens. +[4930.22 --> 4931.22] Your parents will be against you. +[4931.22 --> 4939.22] That being said, at the very beginning my parents were, and then once they started to see how into it I was, they were totally welcoming and happy about it. +[4939.22 --> 4942.22] Um, but definitely not everyone's are. +[4942.22 --> 4945.22] And they covered that in this movie, which was really interesting. +[4945.22 --> 4949.22] You know what's funny? I, if, if my son was like, yeah, I'm going to be a pro gamer dad, I'd be like, no you're not. +[4949.22 --> 4954.22] It's like, and these, these are things that should be covered and were covered and were really interesting. +[4954.22 --> 4959.22] And they show like, um, the one guy's mom being like, this is really dumb. +[4959.22 --> 4961.22] Like to his face in the documentary. +[4961.22 --> 4962.22] Right. +[4962.22 --> 4965.22] And I'm like, that's good. That should have been in this documentary. +[4965.22 --> 4969.22] And they're like, uh, we didn't necessarily see that. It's just really like cliche characters and stuff. +[4969.22 --> 4970.22] And I'm like, shut up. +[4970.22 --> 4971.22] That totally exists. +[4971.22 --> 4972.22] It's a documentary. +[4972.22 --> 4973.22] Like. +[4973.22 --> 4974.22] They should cover that stuff. +[4974.22 --> 4978.22] And they're like, yeah, they spent so much time looking at the different players and I'm like, thank you. +[4978.22 --> 4979.22] That's what I wanted to see. +[4979.22 --> 4988.22] They showed little snippets from the matches and a lot of the time it, sometimes it was an actual clip from the match and sometimes it was just like super heavily animated. +[4988.22 --> 4989.22] Right. +[4989.22 --> 4996.22] Not like actually the stuff from the match, which I think actually helped it be watchable by people that aren't super interested in Dota 2. +[4996.22 --> 5000.22] I would have not, I would have been able to follow it just fine if there was more footage from the matches. +[5000.22 --> 5001.22] Right. +[5001.22 --> 5002.22] Because I understand Dota 2. +[5002.22 --> 5003.22] But not everyone can. +[5003.22 --> 5005.22] And being able to show it to my mom, that helps a lot. +[5005.22 --> 5006.22] Right. +[5006.22 --> 5009.22] Um, and like having one-on-one interviews with relatives. +[5009.22 --> 5010.22] Right. +[5010.22 --> 5013.22] Was really interesting of the players and stuff like that. +[5013.22 --> 5018.22] Like going heavily into their backstories because it's a really difficult thing to get into. +[5018.22 --> 5020.22] It's incredibly difficult to get into. +[5020.22 --> 5023.22] And they bring up the thing where like you're not going to be a pro gamer beyond 29. +[5023.22 --> 5024.22] Right. +[5024.22 --> 5027.22] Because your reaction time is going to be too low. +[5027.22 --> 5032.22] And like the main thing people usually think about that in is stuff like Counter-Strike, but that applies to pretty much everything. +[5032.22 --> 5035.22] And of course there's exceptions to the rule, but there's not very many. +[5035.22 --> 5036.22] Right. +[5036.22 --> 5038.22] Well just like Timo Solani is still playing hockey. +[5038.22 --> 5039.22] Yeah. +[5039.22 --> 5040.22] The guy's like 42. +[5040.22 --> 5041.22] Like there's exceptions. +[5041.22 --> 5043.22] But like one guy. +[5043.22 --> 5044.22] Yeah. +[5044.22 --> 5045.22] Yeah. +[5045.22 --> 5046.22] That's it. +[5046.22 --> 5049.22] It's interesting the stuff they bring up and it's, it's honestly, it's a great documentary. +[5049.22 --> 5053.22] I've got a few people upset that I would tell my son, no you're not going to be a pro gamer. +[5053.22 --> 5058.22] Um, well I would also tell my son, no you're not going to be a professional football player. +[5058.22 --> 5062.22] Because in the real world, you're probably not. +[5062.22 --> 5069.22] If he's willing to fight through the adversity of me telling him he's an idiot for trying, then he stands a chance. +[5069.22 --> 5072.22] If he's going to be his son, he's going to have to fight through that kind of stuff. +[5072.22 --> 5073.22] Yeah. +[5073.22 --> 5074.22] So I don't know. +[5074.22 --> 5079.22] And honestly, like is that, uh, is that, you know, a correct parenting tactic? +[5079.22 --> 5080.22] Oh, I don't know. +[5080.22 --> 5081.22] Probably not. +[5081.22 --> 5082.22] I don't care. +[5082.22 --> 5097.22] The reality of it is if you're not willing to, you know, if you're not willing to fight for something that you believe in and you're not passionate about, passionate enough about to get past, you know, your, your, your parents not caring about it, you will not succeed anyway. +[5097.22 --> 5098.22] I'm sorry. +[5098.22 --> 5099.22] No, it's true. +[5099.22 --> 5100.22] Uh, that's very true. +[5100.22 --> 5101.22] And they cover that in the documentary. +[5101.22 --> 5104.22] They show how much crap these guys have to go through. +[5104.22 --> 5108.22] And trust me, even the people that they didn't cover were going through that stuff. +[5108.22 --> 5112.22] Um, no one's parents are going to go, this is a very good career move. +[5112.22 --> 5115.22] Don't go to school, play games all day, you'll be successful. +[5115.22 --> 5117.22] I don't see anyone's parents really doing that. +[5117.22 --> 5122.22] I can see parents going my mom and dad's route, which was pursue other things. +[5122.22 --> 5123.22] Yeah. +[5123.22 --> 5126.22] But if you want to do this as much as you want in your free time, go ahead. +[5126.22 --> 5128.22] And they'll support me with that. +[5128.22 --> 5129.22] That was fantastic. +[5129.22 --> 5131.22] My parents did, in my opinion, a very good job. +[5131.22 --> 5132.22] Right. +[5132.22 --> 5133.22] I appreciate that a lot. +[5133.22 --> 5141.22] Um, but they also were kind of pushing like, make sure, and this is something I really appreciated too, and I still apply, is don't necessarily lock yourself in with one thing. +[5141.22 --> 5142.22] You need to have an exit strategy. +[5142.22 --> 5143.22] Always have an exit strategy. +[5143.22 --> 5144.22] That's incredibly important. +[5144.22 --> 5145.22] Yeah. +[5145.22 --> 5149.22] I had someone else ask, um, well, Linus, would you tell your kid not to be a tech YouTuber? +[5149.22 --> 5150.22] Absolutely. +[5150.22 --> 5151.22] What are the odds? +[5151.22 --> 5153.22] Like, what are the odds of success? +[5153.22 --> 5162.22] If you're not counting anything, the odds of success being a professional tech YouTuber are probably lower than the odds of being a pro gamer at some level. +[5162.22 --> 5165.22] Who is actually making a full-time job out of being a tech YouTuber? +[5165.22 --> 5166.22] There's not very many. +[5166.22 --> 5177.22] Like, I can count them on one hand, probably. Like, who is actually full-time? Logan? Me? Marcus? Austin? Elric? +[5177.22 --> 5179.22] You're not counting the team component, though. +[5179.22 --> 5195.22] I'm not counting? Okay, I'm not counting the team component. Okay, okay, so fine. I could probably count like the lead guys that are like running tech YouTuber companies. Maybe on both hands. Because there's Detroit Borg. I don't know if he does it full-time. And there's like some other guys. But even looking at Lou from Unboxing. +[5195.22 --> 5208.22] Lou from Unbox Therapy is another one. So even looking at like a collab that he's planning, a lot of the guys participating are like still students and stuff. Like they're not actually trying to turn this into a viable business yet even. I mean, even Marcus is still a student. +[5208.22 --> 5217.22] Yeah. And like he's making enough money that he could go full-time if he felt like it. But he's not even... He's one of the most successful ones out there. But he's doing... +[5217.22 --> 5223.22] And he's not even banking on it. And he's doing the backup strategy thing. The answer strategy thing. That's right. Where if it fails, there's an option. That's right. I think that's a really good point. +[5223.22 --> 5238.22] And I mean, people would ask me this all the time before I went... Before I went independent. And people would say, oh, I want to be a tech YouTuber just like you. And I'd say, I'm not a tech YouTuber. I have a real job. I'm a product manager. That's an actual job. +[5238.22 --> 5264.22] I do this tech YouTube thing because it's like super fun and it's exciting and I really enjoy it and I'm passionate about it. And that is my point. My parents don't have a bloody idea what I do. They have no idea. They have never once bought a video game or a piece of... Okay, no. No. They did. They did upgrade our 386 to a 486. But that wasn't for like for like gaming or hardware passion or anything. +[5264.22 --> 5269.72] They've never actually bought me a piece of computer hardware. I want to be real clear about that. +[5269.74 --> 5270.88] My parents have. My parents did. +[5271.42 --> 5284.84] The closest I got was my uncle upgraded his computer and I built his new computer for him. And he gave me his old computer as like an attaboy. And this was a Pentium 1 166 megahertz when Pentium 4s were on the market. +[5285.64 --> 5286.66] To be clear. +[5286.66 --> 5299.84] When I pieced out my first computer, I paid for it all. But when I pieced it out, my dad and I went to go pick it up and the sales guy was like, do you have a monitor? And I was just like, uh, no. +[5300.08 --> 5312.66] Chrome Monkey is bringing up some people who are not entirely YouTubers. Ryan Shrout is not a YouTuber. Like he does YouTube videos. And you can tell him I said that. Quote Linus. Out of context. Ryan Shrout is not a YouTuber. +[5312.66 --> 5323.30] But he runs PCPer. PCPer.com is his bread and butter. That's like a website. That's web journalism as opposed to, dad, I want to be a tech YouTuber. +[5323.54 --> 5326.66] It's more than two hands. But he's using a... +[5327.34 --> 5328.20] What? +[5328.50 --> 5329.80] There's more than two hands. +[5329.86 --> 5335.96] Okay, yeah. Okay, fine. There's more than however many hands worth. But the ones doing it strictly on YouTube? I don't know. +[5335.96 --> 5340.12] Well, if you include, like, are you talking about just PC hardware? +[5341.20 --> 5342.44] Because tech YouTubers are slim. +[5342.44 --> 5344.28] Okay, tech YouTubers, yeah, there's probably tons of them. +[5344.46 --> 5344.62] Yeah. +[5344.94 --> 5351.56] Even then, the odds are slim and I wouldn't be a big fan of it if he was like, yeah, that's my master plan. I'm going to be like a tech YouTuber. +[5351.78 --> 5352.62] I'd be like, ugh. +[5353.66 --> 5355.32] You've got to have a real plan first. +[5355.32 --> 5370.40] Like, have a plan for a 9 to 5 and then if you, like, make it. It's kind of like professional athletes. You know what? The vast majority of them go to school and participate in school athletics and then make it. +[5370.48 --> 5374.16] That's something, too. It's like, I've... My brother does StarCraft casting locally, right? +[5374.20 --> 5374.30] Yeah. +[5374.30 --> 5383.70] So I've talked to some of the guys locally that are really good. One of them, who's, like, an awesome dude, Fire Zerg. I follow him around a little bit. He's actually really good. +[5383.84 --> 5383.98] Yeah. +[5384.40 --> 5388.62] And, like, a few of the other guys that they hang out with and stuff, they go to this UBC StarCraft club. +[5389.04 --> 5389.32] Right. +[5390.42 --> 5393.18] UBC. University of British Columbia StarCraft club. +[5393.32 --> 5401.80] They're all kids that are going to UBC and also enjoy playing StarCraft and some of them are really good and could probably make it professionally but are also going to UBC. +[5401.80 --> 5405.22] Yeah. So have a backup plan, I guess, is the main point of this. +[5405.38 --> 5406.22] But then watch that. +[5406.24 --> 5411.06] Holy crap. We could almost do... We got sidetracked today. We could almost do a whole other show. +[5411.08 --> 5411.36] I know. +[5411.60 --> 5413.58] On, like, some of this stuff in here. +[5413.74 --> 5416.98] Yeah. We went from not enough topics every week to... +[5416.98 --> 5418.20] Like, way too many. +[5418.56 --> 5418.80] Yeah. +[5419.08 --> 5424.14] Oh, new CPUs from Intel. Okay, we're going to have to, like, blitz this stuff, you guys. +[5424.60 --> 5426.70] So Intel's looking at doing an unlocked... +[5426.70 --> 5428.42] Oh my god, we haven't done any VR yet. +[5428.42 --> 5433.78] I know. We have done none of the VR and none of the improvements to DirectX 12 and OpenGL. +[5433.88 --> 5434.30] Oh god. +[5434.34 --> 5437.36] Like, we're screwed. Okay, guys, we're going to have to just blitz this stuff. +[5437.46 --> 5439.42] Unlocked Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition. +[5439.84 --> 5441.94] We're going to be getting an 8-core Core i7 Extreme. +[5442.48 --> 5449.38] And Intel is talking about fixing the thermal interface material issue that they've had with some of their processors, +[5449.86 --> 5452.54] giving you better temperatures and hopefully improved overclocking. +[5452.54 --> 5454.42] Personally, I'm not expecting it to make a big difference. +[5455.00 --> 5458.00] But the fact that Intel is listening to the enthusiast community... +[5458.00 --> 5458.36] Is a good sign. +[5458.38 --> 5460.94] ...and addressing it is a really good sign. +[5461.06 --> 5461.24] Yeah. +[5461.36 --> 5464.54] Because they've basically come out and acknowledged, like... +[5464.54 --> 5466.52] They've kind of ignored you for a little while. +[5466.54 --> 5471.04] We've done some kind of crappy stuff and have not acknowledged it at all. +[5471.04 --> 5473.66] So now we're getting a proper enthusiast-grade SSD. +[5473.98 --> 5475.74] We're getting an 8-core Extreme Edition. +[5475.92 --> 5477.98] We're getting fixed thermal interface material. +[5478.34 --> 5481.22] It's like they're listening to us, and that's extremely exciting. +[5481.64 --> 5483.24] Yay, Intel. Thumbs up. +[5483.56 --> 5486.06] All right. Source here, DirectX 12. +[5487.42 --> 5488.84] That needs to start working. There we go. +[5489.54 --> 5490.64] All right. DirectX 12. +[5490.72 --> 5494.32] This is from NVIDIA's blog, where the main notes here... +[5494.32 --> 5498.26] And I'm just going to cut you guys off my screen so I can cheat and go back to my notes. +[5498.68 --> 5503.56] ...will be delivered sometime this year with enough time to see shipping titles holiday 2015. +[5504.28 --> 5506.38] Forza 5 was already poted... +[5506.38 --> 5506.88] Poted. +[5507.00 --> 5507.38] Poted. +[5507.60 --> 5507.92] Poted. +[5508.30 --> 5512.56] It was ported from the Xbox One to the PC with DirectX 12 in four man months. +[5512.64 --> 5513.60] That's not bad. +[5514.12 --> 5516.24] You could have four dudes working on it for a month. +[5516.44 --> 5517.82] Four dudes or women, whatever. +[5518.38 --> 5519.86] I meant, like dudes, like people. +[5520.52 --> 5521.38] Not trying to... +[5521.38 --> 5522.86] I'd try not to be sexist. +[5524.32 --> 5525.08] So... +[5525.08 --> 5526.88] Women in computers is becoming a bigger and bigger thing. +[5527.02 --> 5527.84] I know. I know. +[5528.06 --> 5529.12] And, like, that's good. +[5529.46 --> 5530.56] That's, like, great. +[5530.80 --> 5536.04] And I don't want to seem like, you know, male chauvinist women can't, you know, code. +[5536.32 --> 5537.22] Because they can. +[5537.48 --> 5538.10] Better than me. +[5538.10 --> 5538.28] They can. +[5538.42 --> 5542.22] One of my tutors when I was going to school was a female, and she was the best tutor I ever had. +[5542.42 --> 5546.20] That's like saying something racially insensitive and being like, one of my friends is a black guy, though. +[5547.48 --> 5548.10] Not really. +[5548.40 --> 5549.50] Okay, it's not the same thing at all. +[5551.26 --> 5551.62] No. +[5554.32 --> 5560.28] Okay, that would be like me saying the insensitive thing and being like, but I know, like, one female coder, so it's okay. +[5560.66 --> 5562.08] But I know a whole bunch. +[5562.46 --> 5562.96] Like, I know a ton. +[5562.96 --> 5569.82] Okay, anyway, the point is, Forza 5 was ported from Xbox One to PC with DirectX 12 in four people months. +[5570.58 --> 5571.14] There we go. +[5571.14 --> 5572.70] Big performance improvements. +[5573.10 --> 5579.52] DirectX 11 relied predominantly on one CPU core to do the bulk of the work, and it was able to distribute things a little bit. +[5579.58 --> 5584.24] But we've had multi-CPUs, multi-core CPUs for years, Microsoft. +[5584.24 --> 5597.74] I'm glad that you're doing this now, but I wish the sleeping bear had woken up a little bit earlier and not waited for AMD to put all this work into Mantle, which is basically, in my mind, a wasted effort at this point. +[5598.18 --> 5599.26] Oh, okay, not wasted effort. +[5600.00 --> 5602.10] Mantle looks like a dead project to me. +[5602.10 --> 5626.34] But the fact that we're able to get this improvement in the industry with Microsoft improving DirectX, giving the developers more bare-to-metal sort of ability to program for the GPUs, giving the developers the ability to dramatically scale the number of draw calls, reducing the driver overhead significantly, and spreading it out over multiple CPU cores. +[5626.34 --> 5635.32] This is all, in my mind, either a result of Mantle or a result of Microsoft kind of looking at what AMD was planning to do and going, oh, crap. +[5635.56 --> 5641.00] If the API isn't like DirectX anymore, then, like, why would people game on Windows? +[5641.44 --> 5641.84] Uh-oh. +[5642.82 --> 5645.20] And I'm glad that they're finally waking up. +[5645.68 --> 5646.98] And they completed a goal. +[5647.10 --> 5651.56] AMD said for a long time, if they ran away from this and maybe so that Mantle doesn't have to exist, it's okay. +[5652.08 --> 5653.40] Yep, and they did say that. +[5653.40 --> 5655.90] I wasn't sure if they were truthful about that. +[5655.90 --> 5656.56] But they said it. +[5656.66 --> 5657.24] That's true. +[5657.56 --> 5659.86] But they, yeah, regardless, they said it. +[5660.08 --> 5660.62] So that's cool. +[5660.62 --> 5667.98] So DirectX 12 could be leveraged on the Xbox One, Windows Mobile, but Microsoft has neither confirmed nor denied whether it will come to Windows 7. +[5668.84 --> 5669.10] Yeah. +[5670.58 --> 5672.54] I really wanted to, please. +[5672.70 --> 5673.80] I don't want to move up. +[5674.08 --> 5675.28] I'm completely happy with my green ecosystem. +[5675.28 --> 5678.40] Because we could be looking at orders of magnitude better performance in some ways. +[5678.56 --> 5680.04] Yeah, we'd have to change over every system. +[5680.04 --> 5683.96] Like draw calls would be 10 to 100 times improvements in performance. +[5683.96 --> 5684.96] Right. +[5684.96 --> 5686.38] And this is really exciting. +[5686.38 --> 5690.26] Hardware-wise, it's coming to any GCN AMD card. +[5690.26 --> 5700.10] However, we've noticed that just because something comes to every GCN card, 7000 series all the way up to the newer stuff, doesn't mean it actually works that well on it. +[5700.10 --> 5700.56] Yeah. +[5700.56 --> 5702.44] So just throwing that out there. +[5702.46 --> 5706.12] And there's actually a fairly noticeable difference between GCN1 and GCN1.1. +[5706.44 --> 5707.52] So there you go. +[5707.78 --> 5711.44] And it's coming to every DirectX capable NVIDIA GPU. +[5711.58 --> 5713.86] So that's Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell. +[5714.22 --> 5719.58] AMD hasn't said anything about 5000 series or 6000 series, but I would expect that's not going to be coming. +[5719.58 --> 5721.74] All right, OpenGL improvements. +[5722.80 --> 5723.58] Here we go. +[5724.00 --> 5724.44] Boom! +[5725.42 --> 5731.26] From the NVIDIA blog, if you want to get a developer's attention, all you need to do is start dropping whole numbers. +[5732.06 --> 5733.54] Great point, Adrian. +[5734.30 --> 5734.76] Or, ah, shoot. +[5734.90 --> 5735.96] Sorry, how did I read Adrian? +[5736.26 --> 5737.30] Wow, I've got to get my eyes checked. +[5737.30 --> 5738.02] I have no idea. +[5739.44 --> 5742.06] I just read the A and then just made up the rest. +[5743.80 --> 5744.82] That's all I need. +[5744.82 --> 5749.04] That's like skim reading to a completely new level. +[5749.28 --> 5754.72] All right, so an unlikely team of presenters got together at GDC. +[5755.00 --> 5756.60] This, I got a kick out of this. +[5757.00 --> 5759.80] But Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. +[5760.10 --> 5761.16] That's really weird. +[5761.28 --> 5762.14] I know, right? +[5762.76 --> 5772.50] Hosted a session on OpenGL and how OpenGL, current, modern OpenGL, could be used to reduce driver overhead to near zero. +[5772.50 --> 5782.56] Improving performance 1.3 times, like easily, and then up to 7 to 15 times with some optimization. +[5782.98 --> 5783.98] That is extremely exciting. +[5784.16 --> 5791.56] And unlike DirectX, which was like, yeah, it could work on like Windows phone, OpenGL can work on whatever you want. +[5791.56 --> 5794.40] So we're talking any mobile platform, pretty much. +[5794.72 --> 5800.60] Any desktop platform, any, I don't know, you could probably run it on a toaster if you really felt like it. +[5800.92 --> 5802.60] So OpenGL is extremely exciting. +[5802.72 --> 5809.34] And while on the desktop, the performance, I know, the performance improvements are going to be really important on mobile. +[5809.34 --> 5817.38] The improvements in battery life, because it's much more efficient to build multi-core CPUs than high-performing single-threaded CPUs. +[5817.46 --> 5828.68] The improvements in battery life on mobile that we can achieve by leveraging OpenGL as a way to reduce overhead and as a way to utilize more cores is extremely exciting. +[5829.16 --> 5829.54] All right. +[5829.76 --> 5831.40] Let's move on to the Snowdrop engine. +[5831.54 --> 5832.32] Holy balls. +[5833.08 --> 5834.50] This thing looks outstanding. +[5834.50 --> 5839.12] So there's a video, which basically everyone should just go watch. +[5839.20 --> 5840.34] This is on hexis.net. +[5840.84 --> 5842.90] But this thing looks amazing. +[5843.42 --> 5851.42] And the main points here to take away are that they've created a way of working with the engine that like, obviously it's not this simple. +[5851.54 --> 5861.28] But in the demo, they're just like dragging and dropping things and like drawing lines to connect different elements, like actions as well as objects and events. +[5861.28 --> 5868.86] And basically the idea is, aside from looking absolutely amazing, let's see if I can find the part with the burning buildings. +[5869.24 --> 5871.42] Because it just looks so good. +[5871.62 --> 5872.86] Like, look at the cityscape. +[5873.82 --> 5874.76] Where's the burning building? +[5874.88 --> 5875.50] I want the burning building. +[5875.92 --> 5878.34] I don't have enough time for this crap. +[5879.04 --> 5879.36] Literally. +[5879.86 --> 5880.94] We're already over time. +[5881.20 --> 5881.58] I know. +[5882.26 --> 5883.28] People got to go home. +[5883.52 --> 5884.68] They get to their families. +[5884.90 --> 5885.54] They might already be home. +[5885.58 --> 5885.82] Whatever. +[5885.94 --> 5887.20] There's a car with lights on it. +[5887.24 --> 5888.22] That's kind of like a burning building. +[5888.32 --> 5888.66] Good enough. +[5888.66 --> 5889.70] We'll settle for that. +[5889.92 --> 5890.22] All right. +[5890.32 --> 5891.48] So what do we got going on here? +[5892.80 --> 5893.84] I go back to my notes. +[5894.58 --> 5895.38] Because there's a lot of stuff. +[5895.48 --> 5896.16] I don't remember anything. +[5896.18 --> 5896.62] Node-B scripting system. +[5896.66 --> 5897.74] So the, yeah, okay. +[5897.84 --> 5900.68] So Node-B scripting system allows all objects and actions to be connected. +[5900.82 --> 5904.48] It allows the artist to focus on creativity rather than mundane tasks. +[5904.56 --> 5907.90] It will be available first in Tom Clancy's The Division later in 2014. +[5908.52 --> 5909.80] And this was really cool. +[5909.94 --> 5914.28] Also in the video, it allows easy experimentation and testing of whatever's being worked on. +[5914.28 --> 5919.06] So the video shows patterns being altered with just like a slider on the side of a helicopter. +[5919.62 --> 5924.20] And like a little robot just like walking around in a test environment where you can like put stuff for it to step on. +[5924.26 --> 5925.98] And you can test it and look at how it's going to work. +[5927.10 --> 5929.40] Unity 5 has been announced. +[5929.64 --> 5930.58] Moving on to the next thing. +[5930.68 --> 5931.64] This is from TechCrunch. +[5932.04 --> 5933.36] I'll jump in once we do that. +[5933.36 --> 5938.32] Better lighting, better audio, and early support for plug-in free browser games? +[5938.98 --> 5939.46] Wow. +[5939.52 --> 5940.06] Really cool. +[5941.06 --> 5941.56] Really cool. +[5941.56 --> 5941.88] Wow. +[5942.98 --> 5944.16] Okay, I'll let you cover this. +[5944.38 --> 5949.72] Okay, so what I was really expecting when I saw this, and Linus probably remembers me saying this, +[5950.04 --> 5957.16] is not surprised on the timing because this coming out and Unity being such a big force in the VR scene with Oculus, +[5957.58 --> 5960.04] I assumed it was going to tie in something really heavily with Oculus. +[5960.04 --> 5964.86] But it actually seems the main things are the web stuff. +[5965.42 --> 5972.08] So plug-in list support for browsers, like early access web GL support, like all this kind of stuff. +[5972.32 --> 5978.96] Audio systems, lighting, stuff like that all being brought into Unity, which is really cool because Unity is such a heavy hitter when it comes to indie games. +[5979.58 --> 5982.28] And then allowing them all to access this kind of stuff is very cool. +[5982.28 --> 5988.76] So obviously this is also going to go to Oculus, and people have been talking about how while this is really cool, +[5989.04 --> 5993.96] a lot of this was actually able to be brought in if you were a really technical Unity user. +[5994.34 --> 5996.44] You could apply all this stuff yourself with mods and whatnot. +[5996.82 --> 5999.38] But this is now easily done by anyone. +[5999.76 --> 6001.36] So that's actually really important in my opinion. +[6002.94 --> 6006.74] There's also a video of new features for Source 2, which is really cool. +[6006.74 --> 6009.58] And then we should probably move on already. +[6009.72 --> 6011.42] Revan Stig says, shut up about Oculus. +[6012.10 --> 6012.96] Oh, that ain't happening. +[6014.28 --> 6014.64] No. +[6015.80 --> 6018.72] The Mantle and True Audio patch for Thief has been released. +[6020.02 --> 6024.14] I gotta wonder how many of the people who cared about Thief have already played it. +[6025.04 --> 6027.86] Yeah, you know, did I tell you I stopped completely? +[6029.32 --> 6031.58] After I got the benchmarking run, I just quit. +[6031.82 --> 6034.62] Because I was like, the audio in this game is too messed up for me to care. +[6034.62 --> 6037.96] Okay, well, at least True Audio may help things. +[6038.30 --> 6044.78] So Tom's hardware actually has some benchmarks of Thief running with True Audio and Mantle. +[6044.84 --> 6048.02] I haven't looked at these yet, so that's interesting. +[6049.00 --> 6051.34] But, hmm, let's have a look. +[6051.46 --> 6053.14] Theme frame rate, lowest detail preset. +[6053.28 --> 6054.14] Why are we even looking at this? +[6054.72 --> 6055.78] Okay, normal details. +[6056.02 --> 6056.34] Here we go. +[6056.42 --> 6056.64] Normal. +[6057.10 --> 6058.68] So here's DirectX versus Mantle. +[6058.78 --> 6060.86] Oh, we're looking at some pretty significant improvements. +[6060.86 --> 6066.48] So here's a 270, which is not even a super high-powered graphics card. +[6066.70 --> 6069.00] And an 8350, which is a pretty decent CPU. +[6069.54 --> 6072.90] And we're looking at, like, wow, like 30% improvement in performance. +[6073.68 --> 6074.30] Oh, of minimum. +[6074.70 --> 6076.16] But that's the most important thing anyway. +[6076.30 --> 6076.62] Minimum, okay, yeah. +[6076.68 --> 6080.78] I was like, that seems very low for a really weird reason. +[6081.02 --> 6082.56] Yeah, I was looking at minimum FPS. +[6082.80 --> 6082.84] Okay. +[6083.02 --> 6083.86] That's pretty impressive. +[6083.86 --> 6088.44] Positional audio was just completely broken in the game, but it may actually be fixed now. +[6088.50 --> 6089.06] You should give it a shot. +[6089.22 --> 6093.20] Maybe that's what I wanted to bring up with this, is I'm probably going to try it again now, +[6093.28 --> 6094.78] because positional audio is brutal before. +[6094.88 --> 6099.42] There could be someone two floors below you walking around, and he sounds like he's exactly +[6099.42 --> 6100.68] beside you on the same level. +[6100.90 --> 6101.68] I was like, what is this? +[6101.98 --> 6102.38] It was really bad. +[6102.38 --> 6107.88] The way the game was always supposed to work was with, um, shoot, no, I forget what it's +[6107.88 --> 6108.14] called. +[6108.70 --> 6109.52] Convoluted reverb. +[6109.86 --> 6115.70] So that means that audio was supposed to be, like, dynamic and real-time, and, like, instead +[6115.70 --> 6121.92] of being a scripted or, like, you know, pre-done effect, like when someone's underwater, +[6122.04 --> 6129.32] like, it was supposed to just, the audio was just supposed to, like, bounce off stuff in +[6129.32 --> 6130.16] a natural way. +[6130.16 --> 6134.56] And so it was, like, completely broken out of the gate, but now with True Audio, AMD +[6134.56 --> 6140.48] users, who happen to be running, like, three different times, um, can use their hardware +[6140.48 --> 6147.06] DSP to accelerate the True Audio convoluted reverb stuff, but don't worry, guys, you can +[6147.06 --> 6147.78] still use it. +[6147.84 --> 6149.18] You can just offload it to your CPU. +[6149.78 --> 6155.54] Um, those performance improvements noted on certain resolutions, like, uh, what is it? +[6155.54 --> 6161.92] Yeah, 4770K with the 270X at, I believe it was 1440p got, like, a 1fps improvement. +[6162.32 --> 6162.58] Right. +[6162.98 --> 6167.86] So, I, it's, like, this is the same story that we talked about before, where it really +[6167.86 --> 6171.64] matters on the whole combination of your setup, how well it's going to work out for you. +[6171.76 --> 6171.98] Right. +[6171.98 --> 6174.50] Um, but, yeah, anyways, moving on. +[6174.94 --> 6176.38] All right, uh, do it. +[6176.78 --> 6181.00] All right, so Project Morpheus, um, I'm going to jump on specs real quick, and then jump on +[6181.00 --> 6182.32] things that aren't specs after that. +[6182.50 --> 6185.22] So, it's going to be a 1920x1080 screen. +[6185.36 --> 6187.20] I'm going to do a bunch of verses here at the beginning. +[6187.30 --> 6189.06] So, 1920x1080 screen. +[6189.44 --> 6192.86] I'm going to compare this to Development Kit 2 from Oculus. +[6192.86 --> 6199.80] Uh, so I'm comparing the spec'd out, probably, release version of Morpheus with the current +[6199.80 --> 6201.28] developer version of Oculus. +[6201.40 --> 6203.52] Not the release version of Oculus, because we have no idea. +[6204.00 --> 6212.00] So, 1920x1080 screen on the release version of Morpheus, and 960x1920 per eye on the Oculus +[6212.00 --> 6212.32] one. +[6212.72 --> 6218.96] Uh, Morpheus will have a 90 degree FOV, and the Dev Kit 2 for Oculus is going to have a +[6218.96 --> 6220.32] 100 degree FOV. +[6220.32 --> 6224.10] Um, you're going to be able to integrate your PlayStation camera and PlayStation Move +[6224.10 --> 6227.68] to take in part, uh, skeleton movement from the camera and, like, hand movement from the +[6227.68 --> 6231.48] move or whatever like that, which is actually really cool, um, because that's stuff that +[6231.48 --> 6233.30] isn't, like, first-party support from Oculus. +[6233.62 --> 6239.12] At least, well, the camera is, but, like, you're going to have to get, like, uh, Hydra or, +[6239.40 --> 6244.58] um, I can't remember the name of it, but that other six-axis, no, not six-axis. +[6244.82 --> 6245.84] Oh, it's the Hydra, the two-hand one? +[6246.06 --> 6249.02] No, but the other thing that's coming out that looks like handles. +[6249.02 --> 6252.94] It's made by the same company that does, that made Hydra for them. +[6253.16 --> 6253.66] I can't remember. +[6253.66 --> 6256.98] I don't remember what it's called, but that thing that's not out yet, or something like +[6256.98 --> 6258.04] that, which could be really expensive. +[6258.42 --> 6259.80] Um, it's going to be a five-inch panel. +[6259.80 --> 6263.94] It's going to be used HDMI and USB, but they have been quoted that that hopefully won't +[6263.94 --> 6266.36] be a thing. +[6266.36 --> 6266.86] It'll be on release. +[6266.86 --> 6267.76] We're not sure yet. +[6267.76 --> 6269.60] Uh, it's going to be a five-inch panel. +[6269.60 --> 6271.06] Now we're going to get into some quotes. +[6271.42 --> 6273.72] Problems with these quotes before I even say them. +[6273.92 --> 6275.30] They're both from people at Oculus. +[6275.70 --> 6277.32] These are the main quotes I've found so far. +[6277.84 --> 6280.06] They're obviously going to be negative because they're people from Oculus. +[6280.22 --> 6284.40] That being said, Sony has approached Oculus and is trying to work together with them. +[6284.68 --> 6285.08] That's a rumor. +[6285.36 --> 6285.90] That's a rumor. +[6286.12 --> 6286.52] Allegedly. +[6286.84 --> 6288.10] So there's, um, hold on. +[6288.12 --> 6289.94] I'm going to find it because I've got it in the doc here. +[6290.12 --> 6290.76] Sure, I'm just going to. +[6290.76 --> 6294.52] There's a post on Reddit where, um, here it is. +[6295.12 --> 6298.04] So guys, uh, I'll post this in the, I'll post this in the chat. +[6298.14 --> 6301.94] So you guys should check this out after, but it's basically just saying, okay, allegedly +[6301.94 --> 6309.00] Sony and Oculus may be looking to work together on VR game development because Sony's solution +[6309.00 --> 6312.76] isn't going to work on a PC and Oculus's solution isn't going to work on a console. +[6313.56 --> 6317.28] So there's no real competition between them from a hardware perspective. +[6317.28 --> 6321.90] They might as well enable game developers to have a larger platform to launch their games on. +[6322.18 --> 6330.06] Which is why EVE Valkyrie, while it's an exclusive for Oculus, is also an exclusive for Morpheus. +[6330.76 --> 6331.72] Dun dun dun! +[6331.74 --> 6338.34] It's an exclusive for both of them, which is really interesting and shows kind of a backbone behind that. +[6338.34 --> 6339.74] Just like our relationship is exclusive. +[6340.10 --> 6341.24] Oh god, yes it is. +[6341.68 --> 6345.48] Um, so those quotes as we jump into it now is John Carmack saying, +[6345.48 --> 6348.08] Calibrate PS4 VR expectations. +[6348.66 --> 6358.62] A game that ran at 60 FPS on PS3 could be done in VR on PS4, um, but it's going to have to have run at 60 FPS on PS3. +[6358.70 --> 6363.02] So it'll have to be a 1080p game at 60 FPS on PS3 to be able to run on Project Morpheus. +[6363.34 --> 6365.26] That's from John Carmack. +[6365.38 --> 6369.04] John Carmack has extremely high expectations whenever it comes to anything to do with displays. +[6369.04 --> 6375.14] And he's on Oculus' team, which no matter what you think about platform usability, they're still competitors. +[6375.58 --> 6376.94] He just kind of says whatever he wants though. +[6377.06 --> 6378.70] He does. He totally does. +[6379.08 --> 6385.10] So, I don't know. I personally think he has a really good point, but bear in mind that it's each side of the fence. +[6385.10 --> 6390.12] Another quote, this is coming from, um, Palmer, like CEO of Oculus. +[6390.28 --> 6391.54] And this is fairly old actually. +[6392.04 --> 6394.34] Uh, consoles are too limited to do what we want to do. +[6395.18 --> 6401.38] So, if you're looking at a VR perspective and one of the biggest pioneers in that industry and they're saying this thing is too limited to be able to do it. +[6401.58 --> 6407.10] Now, one of the reasons behind that quote actually was, um, the platform being very locked down. +[6407.86 --> 6410.12] You can't like upgrade graphics on a PlayStation. +[6410.12 --> 6412.38] Um, and that was actually a lot of the reasoning. +[6412.68 --> 6415.20] Not necessarily that it's currently not powerful enough, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. +[6415.76 --> 6421.36] Um, that being said, every single demo that I have played, I have not played Eve Valkyrie on an Oculus yet. +[6421.52 --> 6421.88] It's amazing. +[6422.00 --> 6424.84] And they're saying that it's going to work on PlayStation anyways, so I don't know what to say about that. +[6424.90 --> 6428.58] But every demo that I've played on an Oculus would easily run on a PS4. +[6428.76 --> 6433.70] That being said, a lot of them are kind of tech demos so far. +[6433.98 --> 6434.94] Showing how it works. +[6435.08 --> 6437.22] Not supposed to be fully fledged games. +[6437.36 --> 6438.76] So, we'll see that more in the future. +[6438.76 --> 6444.52] Uh, they have a bunch of really interesting partners like Epic Games, Crytek, Autodesk, Unity, and more. +[6444.84 --> 6450.18] And they're also going to be showcasing things like demos of Eve and, Eve Valkyrie, sorry, and Thief. +[6450.36 --> 6451.68] So, that's actually really interesting. +[6452.88 --> 6453.32] Um. +[6453.62 --> 6454.24] Funny story. +[6454.64 --> 6457.80] The demo was running on a, uh, Windows 7 PC. +[6458.00 --> 6460.02] And that's like, uh, yeah. +[6460.02 --> 6461.06] I mean, this is just typical. +[6461.24 --> 6462.04] We're not surprised. +[6462.20 --> 6462.42] Yeah. +[6462.60 --> 6463.94] This happens every bloody time. +[6464.00 --> 6465.94] There's a new console refresh or whatever else. +[6465.94 --> 6468.00] It happens with Xbox exclusive games. +[6468.08 --> 6470.90] It happens with PlayStation exclusive games which aren't supposed to be able to run on +[6470.90 --> 6471.24] PC. +[6471.70 --> 6472.76] And they're running on a PC. +[6473.12 --> 6474.00] That makes me so mad. +[6474.08 --> 6476.26] It's like, you already have the PC version. +[6476.78 --> 6477.46] That's really sick. +[6478.04 --> 6478.84] Um, but yeah. +[6478.94 --> 6480.56] So, like, that actually wasn't surprising at all. +[6480.62 --> 6481.76] But it's still funny to joke about. +[6482.22 --> 6485.34] Another thing that happened this week was what I was kind of just talking about. +[6485.34 --> 6489.08] It was Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 came out and everyone and their mom bought one. +[6489.56 --> 6492.82] So, in 36 hours, why is my notes gone on this? +[6492.86 --> 6493.18] There it is. +[6493.26 --> 6495.98] 12.5 thousand units sold in 36 hours. +[6496.08 --> 6498.58] That's 4.375 million dollars of revenue. +[6499.56 --> 6501.94] And they haven't even actually released a commercial product yet. +[6502.08 --> 6502.30] Yeah. +[6502.40 --> 6504.24] So, I'll get into the commercial product thing soon. +[6504.56 --> 6505.64] So, more specs on this. +[6505.68 --> 6506.48] I already talked about some of it. +[6506.50 --> 6507.44] Just to give you a refresher. +[6507.44 --> 6509.60] It's 960 by 1920 per eye. +[6509.94 --> 6511.44] 100 degree FOV. +[6511.86 --> 6512.86] And now refresh rates. +[6512.96 --> 6514.40] They've made the refresh rates a lot better. +[6514.56 --> 6515.50] That's wrong. +[6515.68 --> 6517.28] Why is this changed? +[6518.26 --> 6520.58] Um, I'm like, sure that's wrong. +[6520.64 --> 6521.90] But do you want to check the ref... +[6521.90 --> 6522.92] I'll check it real quick. +[6523.38 --> 6523.56] Sure. +[6525.20 --> 6526.50] Uh, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. +[6526.50 --> 6527.24] This is your baby, man. +[6528.10 --> 6528.42] Yeah. +[6528.56 --> 6529.52] Why was that changed? +[6529.70 --> 6530.10] Anyways. +[6530.72 --> 6531.76] Um, it's... +[6531.76 --> 6533.06] Luckily, I recognize that. +[6533.34 --> 6537.24] It's up to 75 hertz running at 75, 72, or 60 hertz. +[6537.24 --> 6538.58] It's refresh rate, which is really interesting. +[6538.74 --> 6540.64] That actually makes a surprisingly big difference. +[6540.76 --> 6540.92] Yeah. +[6541.14 --> 6547.76] Um, my 30 inch monitor, my 305T, I wasn't able to like crazy overclock it or anything to like, +[6548.42 --> 6549.82] you know, 100 hertz or whatever. +[6549.94 --> 6550.08] Yeah. +[6550.34 --> 6551.18] But I did... +[6551.18 --> 6552.16] Remember, we went through this. +[6552.24 --> 6554.56] I managed to get it running at like 72. +[6554.84 --> 6555.08] Mm-hmm. +[6555.40 --> 6556.66] And it makes a really big difference. +[6556.82 --> 6556.98] Yep. +[6557.76 --> 6561.80] And especially when things are that close to your face, any amount of latency or lag is +[6561.80 --> 6563.00] really noticeable. +[6563.18 --> 6563.30] Mm-hmm. +[6563.96 --> 6566.36] Um, so that is supposed to help a lot. +[6566.36 --> 6567.40] I haven't tried it yet. +[6567.74 --> 6569.20] Um, but who knows? +[6569.54 --> 6570.18] Low persistence. +[6570.42 --> 6574.30] So we're looking at 2 milliseconds, 3 milliseconds, or full, which is going to be really interesting. +[6574.44 --> 6578.02] That's coming in with the OLED display, being able to switch on and off so that there isn't +[6578.02 --> 6579.68] a frame sitting there for a really long time. +[6579.76 --> 6580.48] This comes in again. +[6580.78 --> 6584.54] Any amount of latency or lag is very noticeable when it's that close to your face. +[6584.80 --> 6585.36] And when you're... +[6585.36 --> 6586.36] When you're that... +[6586.90 --> 6591.96] Um, when the presence is that high, when you're that ingrown in this thing, if there's any amount +[6591.96 --> 6593.96] of latency, it feels really weird. +[6594.06 --> 6595.78] Your brain is going to have issues with that. +[6595.98 --> 6597.54] So that's probably going to help it as well. +[6598.04 --> 6602.14] Uh, it's going to have a gyroscope, uh, accelerometer and a magnometer, which is not super surprising. +[6602.34 --> 6605.14] And a built-in latency tester, which is actually really cool. +[6605.24 --> 6607.86] So this is going to be, uh, motion to... +[6607.86 --> 6608.40] To... +[6608.40 --> 6610.30] To, uh, pixel, essentially. +[6610.82 --> 6611.10] So... +[6611.10 --> 6612.82] You better explain exactly what that means. +[6612.82 --> 6616.94] So if you move, and there's supposed to be motion in the game, how long does it take +[6616.94 --> 6618.90] for that to actually appear on the screen? +[6619.34 --> 6621.18] Because that's going to feel really weird. +[6621.30 --> 6623.50] And that's going to really disconnect you from the experience. +[6623.70 --> 6626.82] If you go like this, and it takes a few seconds, and it's like... +[6626.82 --> 6626.94] And then there's a delay. +[6626.96 --> 6627.68] And it's like, uh... +[6627.68 --> 6632.02] And that's the main reason why people liked Oculus already, was a lot of VR experiences +[6632.02 --> 6635.26] in the past had this issue where you'd turn and then it would catch up. +[6635.82 --> 6637.26] And it would kind of like... +[6637.26 --> 6641.26] This actually happened, where you'd turn and then it would go like past your vision because +[6641.26 --> 6643.34] it's predicting, and then it would like slot back. +[6643.72 --> 6646.00] You'd turn, it just did this thing all the time. +[6646.38 --> 6649.52] Um, so that was already really good, and now it's supposed to be a lot better. +[6649.70 --> 6650.82] So that's going to help a lot. +[6651.10 --> 6652.42] Um, there's... +[6652.42 --> 6654.62] There's the external camera, which we saw in Crystal Cove. +[6654.70 --> 6657.00] So it has tracking IR LEDs all across the front. +[6657.24 --> 6658.56] Now there's problems with this. +[6658.74 --> 6662.12] Um, and this has been voiced by a lot more people than just me. +[6662.52 --> 6664.92] But especially in games like, uh, Valkyrie. +[6665.48 --> 6667.24] If you want to flip over in Valkyrie. +[6667.60 --> 6668.56] So you go like this. +[6669.22 --> 6670.82] And there's tracking IR LEDs. +[6671.26 --> 6672.60] Camera sitting right in front of you. +[6672.86 --> 6674.96] And you take all those IR LEDs and go, +[6675.20 --> 6676.94] Nope, you can't see them anymore. +[6677.40 --> 6678.70] There's probably going to be issues. +[6678.84 --> 6681.32] I've played roller coaster games where I've done a 180 in my chair. +[6681.64 --> 6683.34] The camera can no longer see my... +[6683.34 --> 6684.94] My IR LEDs. +[6685.62 --> 6686.00] There's... +[6686.00 --> 6687.54] There's going to be some interesting stuff with this. +[6687.78 --> 6691.44] And that comes in to a quote from Palmer saying, +[6691.58 --> 6694.40] DK2, Development Kit 2, is really for developers. +[6694.70 --> 6696.14] It's not for consumers. +[6696.38 --> 6698.16] We don't need consumers to buy this. +[6698.16 --> 6700.12] We don't want consumers to buy this. +[6700.22 --> 6703.10] Because the consumer version is really going to be so much better. +[6703.10 --> 6706.06] I'm buying one. +[6706.16 --> 6707.98] And I've recommended some people buy them. +[6709.40 --> 6709.64] But... +[6709.64 --> 6715.46] That was based on the rumors that DK2 was going to be pretty darn close to the release version. +[6715.50 --> 6717.34] That was partially based on that, yes. +[6717.44 --> 6722.52] And it's based on the main people that I'm recommending it to are people that are going to just play with it a lot no matter what. +[6722.58 --> 6723.88] And they'll get a lot of usage out of it. +[6723.92 --> 6724.54] So it'll be okay. +[6724.54 --> 6730.94] But don't buy this expecting for everything to be like sugar and cream. +[6731.08 --> 6732.60] It's not all just going to work out of the gate. +[6732.70 --> 6735.14] There isn't a ton of things that work really well with it yet. +[6735.32 --> 6737.20] You're going to be playing a lot of tech demos. +[6737.80 --> 6739.18] Or not playing with it. +[6740.64 --> 6743.06] There's going to be a lot of things that are different with the release version. +[6743.50 --> 6745.06] And he wants to make that clear. +[6745.06 --> 6752.38] And he crushed expectations on multiple platforms of people saying that DK2 is going to be the same thing as the release version. +[6752.48 --> 6754.02] Which I actually thought was fairly true. +[6754.12 --> 6756.54] Because most of the rumors have been fairly true so far. +[6756.62 --> 6757.72] And that was a pretty big rumor. +[6758.50 --> 6762.54] One thing that they're interested in doing is making integrated audio. +[6762.74 --> 6765.02] Because they're tired of big clunky headphones. +[6765.16 --> 6768.14] Again, with the Valkyrie idea. +[6768.28 --> 6770.44] If you flip your head over and your headphones fall off. +[6770.66 --> 6771.94] That's really immersion breaking. +[6771.94 --> 6775.26] That being said, it's going to increase the cost. +[6775.34 --> 6776.78] And I'm probably just going to want to replace them. +[6778.64 --> 6779.00] Right. +[6779.56 --> 6780.18] I don't know. +[6780.26 --> 6782.32] Hopefully they maybe have a model that doesn't have it built in. +[6783.00 --> 6784.62] That's going to be on the consumer version. +[6785.24 --> 6785.74] So maybe. +[6785.98 --> 6787.24] But again, I also doubt it. +[6787.30 --> 6788.66] It's probably going to be on every single one. +[6788.78 --> 6790.02] It'll probably go model T style. +[6790.86 --> 6792.76] You can have any color you want as long as it's black. +[6793.10 --> 6793.30] Yeah. +[6793.56 --> 6796.20] So I wouldn't be surprised if that's a thing at all. +[6797.00 --> 6797.72] But we'll see. +[6797.90 --> 6799.82] It is definitely going to be removable. +[6800.20 --> 6801.16] That is something that he said. +[6801.16 --> 6802.66] So you can take them off. +[6802.92 --> 6804.20] Or just not use them or something. +[6804.36 --> 6805.28] Because I'd want to use my own earbuds. +[6805.78 --> 6805.96] Yeah. +[6806.02 --> 6806.56] Your own earbuds. +[6806.90 --> 6807.92] Or your own headphones. +[6808.02 --> 6808.98] If you come up with some solution. +[6809.06 --> 6809.92] So they don't fly off your head. +[6809.96 --> 6810.54] Or something like that. +[6810.60 --> 6811.86] Like people are going to want to do their own thing. +[6812.02 --> 6812.76] He realizes that. +[6812.82 --> 6813.42] He knows that. +[6814.10 --> 6815.96] He's an audio freak anyways. +[6816.16 --> 6817.66] My headphones would probably be kind of awesome. +[6817.86 --> 6818.34] Because like. +[6818.90 --> 6820.36] It comes like this. +[6820.48 --> 6822.62] Like it doesn't sit in the same spot as the headband. +[6822.90 --> 6823.90] And they clamp quite tight. +[6824.44 --> 6824.76] Yeah. +[6824.82 --> 6825.58] So like it might work. +[6825.66 --> 6826.34] Mine won't at all. +[6826.34 --> 6827.78] Mine will go flying right off my head. +[6828.20 --> 6829.74] So I know I'll have to figure something out. +[6829.74 --> 6830.94] But I'll probably just wear earbuds. +[6831.56 --> 6832.48] So like I don't know. +[6832.56 --> 6833.12] Not a big deal. +[6833.28 --> 6833.76] But like. +[6834.20 --> 6834.96] Yeah guys. +[6835.06 --> 6836.86] Don't necessarily go rush and buy this. +[6836.94 --> 6838.00] I know a lot of people did. +[6838.34 --> 6839.92] A lot of people that I sit in the team speak with. +[6839.98 --> 6841.32] And talk on the after pretty with. +[6841.38 --> 6842.36] Have like all bought it. +[6843.06 --> 6843.94] And I'm like guys. +[6845.52 --> 6845.88] Guys. +[6847.24 --> 6848.12] Maybe no. +[6848.12 --> 6848.18] No. +[6848.82 --> 6849.32] All right. +[6849.36 --> 6850.70] Our last topic of the day. +[6851.52 --> 6855.18] Walmart announces video game trade-in program for store credit. +[6855.34 --> 6860.40] So I guess the advantage of trading in your games at Walmart versus anywhere else is that +[6860.40 --> 6862.48] you can buy whatever you want with the credit you get. +[6862.54 --> 6867.70] You could go in and literally trade Super Smash Brothers for eggs. +[6868.66 --> 6869.90] If you really really wanted to. +[6869.90 --> 6873.56] And then since you're like a Smash Brothers player you probably want to like throw them +[6873.56 --> 6874.12] at people or something. +[6874.18 --> 6875.00] Do they have eggs in Smash Brothers? +[6875.00 --> 6875.56] I don't think so. +[6875.62 --> 6876.80] I don't know where I was going with that. +[6877.30 --> 6878.84] I know they don't have eggs in Smash Brothers. +[6879.06 --> 6880.46] Well isn't there that one character? +[6881.84 --> 6882.82] Who's an egg character? +[6883.92 --> 6885.22] The last one I played was Brawl. +[6885.58 --> 6885.74] So. +[6886.18 --> 6887.30] I don't remember. +[6888.04 --> 6888.32] Anyway. +[6888.72 --> 6889.42] Not the point. +[6889.84 --> 6891.60] Games but not consoles can be traded. +[6891.72 --> 6894.58] And they actually started this pilot program back in 2009. +[6894.58 --> 6897.12] And you need the retail box for the games. +[6897.26 --> 6901.06] So folks trading in much older games are probably still going to need to go to GameSpot or something +[6901.06 --> 6901.66] like that. +[6902.14 --> 6908.22] And the program for the resale of used games that come in is not open yet but is going +[6908.22 --> 6909.56] to be coming later this year. +[6909.82 --> 6912.04] But employees are able to buy them already. +[6912.46 --> 6916.08] The average credit payout per game is $35. +[6916.78 --> 6922.42] Which seems like something that they're bragging about now but will not be able to sustain later. +[6922.66 --> 6922.84] Yeah. +[6922.84 --> 6926.08] Because they have to make money on it otherwise how is this going to work? +[6926.26 --> 6927.84] And we lied and there's another topic. +[6928.32 --> 6930.20] Do you want to talk about this at all or are you able to? +[6931.06 --> 6931.64] Able to? +[6931.78 --> 6931.98] Yeah. +[6934.16 --> 6934.80] What do you mean? +[6935.26 --> 6940.32] Well the thing that the are you able to talk about it? +[6942.78 --> 6943.54] Oh no. +[6943.74 --> 6943.96] Okay. +[6944.08 --> 6944.44] Forget it. +[6944.70 --> 6944.88] Okay. +[6944.96 --> 6948.86] So Wildstar there's a 20% coupon code pre-order. +[6949.04 --> 6950.18] I guess that's all we really have to say. +[6950.18 --> 6950.48] Guys. +[6951.34 --> 6952.78] Thank you for watching the show. +[6952.84 --> 6958.20] Well if you are wondering if there will be a garage sale after the show where we get +[6958.20 --> 6961.22] rid of some stuff on Le Cheap. +[6962.06 --> 6962.54] Yes. +[6962.78 --> 6963.40] There will be. +[6963.64 --> 6966.12] That is one of the things that will be in the garage sale today. +[6966.80 --> 6967.98] So stay tuned. +[6967.98 --> 6969.96] And before we go. +[6970.14 --> 6970.34] Oh. +[6970.58 --> 6975.16] Just so everyone knows the build blog submissions thread will be closed soon. +[6975.36 --> 6979.30] There's exactly two because people saw them and were like I give up. +[6979.92 --> 6983.32] So pretty sure we know who's going to win next week. +[6983.32 --> 6987.40] Come on guys. +[6987.80 --> 6988.28] Anyways. +[6988.52 --> 6988.76] Yeah. +[6988.94 --> 6989.28] Bye. +[6990.46 --> 6991.44] I'll be back in a minute. +[6991.44 --> 6991.94] Bye. +[7020.68 --> 7021.00] Bye. +[7021.00 --> 7050.98] Thank you.
