so why does paint.net take like it's a really hard to- run
program it has to optimize for your specific computer yeah I know but it
took a really long time to install then it wants a restart are you freaking
kidding me so that's what delayed us actually we were looking at up to 65%
CPU usage while paint.net optimized the
performance of our system here so yeah
we're we're live now welcome to the WAN Show guys it might even be harder to run
than Assassin's Creed Unity uh I don't know Assassin's Creed Unity looks like
it's going to be a bit of a beast we've got a great show for you today guys as
you can see my wonderful co-host was not
actually fired you know I get it because
I haven't really made that joke in months and so we've got a lot of new
viewers who legitimately were concerned two weeks ago when he wasn't on wow that
he had been fired because I was like yeah I fired him I could tell whenever
wano went live cuz I'm like overseas so time is all weird but I could tell when
weno went live cuz my phone would blow up with people being like Oh my God you
were actually fired no no he was on
vacation in Germany so he's back now and
uh we don't have any special guests cuz he's kind of like our special guest yay
yay we've got a bunch of great topics for you today though Far Cry 4 is going
to be crazy expensive if you want all of the launch day DLC and there's a lot of
it and there's a lot of it wow we even have some more details about that uh
also there is a real live hoverboard and
and if you were to move faster than
hearing about it from me and then going to buy it you would have been able to
buy one all of the production units from the first run have been sold more about
that later DSL may be getting an upgrade to get to gigabit speeds which is gits
gigabits yeah that's like a bazillion bits actually it's a very specific
number of bits that isn't a bazillion I knew that don't worry okay Assassin's
Creed Unity specs are just dumb that's
there's one word for it dumb actually
there could be two words we could use a synonym like stupid oh yes no I don't
think stupid is right because stupid can even have like a positive meaning like
like that car is so fast it's stupid or it's like stupid fast you don't say dumb
fast no dumb fast sounds like I've heard people say stupid awesome but I've never
heard anyone say dumb awesome dumb awesome we should start
that we should we have we need dumb awesome computer run assassin screen un

phantomlord linda.com and Phantom glass for making the L show possible today and
thanks to you for coming back I was worried you might not you loved Germany
so much I did actually I really did want to tell us a little bit about your trip
before we actually talk about the things that these people paid good money to hear us talk about um there's I always
come back with the story where my mom would probably kill you if she heard it
so I guess I'll give that one um great
when when we first when Brandon and I first got hold on hold on a second Mrs
slick this is me turning off my phone
right now well I tried turning it off better now there
you go now it's phone off now that the phone's off we will continue my phone's
not even on me so we're good all right there will be no Callins today no so we
get to Berlin and we're supposed to stay at this hostel already not super great
situation so this was right after right as you guys right after I left okay just
right afterwards actually everything while lonus was there was fine so Mom doesn't have to kill you um we get to
the hostel No Vacancy we're like What that okay so we start wandering around
trying to find a different one everyone that we go to also No Vacancy random
super cute super nice British chick is like oh by the way there's this other
hostel that has three beds still open which is right there and points at the
sketchiest place I've ever seen in my entire life including that hotel that
you stayed in in uh in Vegas La it looks
sketchier on the outside than that hotel did WOW on the outside not on the inside
well I'll get to that in a second though so you walk up there's no sign at all
the door is covered in like random paint and like spray paint and crap and the
part of the window pane is broken and it's just super ghetto and you open the
door and walk in and it the door doesn't properly close I later uh later end up
figuring out that they actually Bar the Door from the inside when they want it to be closed cuz there's no working
lock the place is called the loha you have to go up a whole bunch of stairs to
get up in there and all of the stairs are covered in like crap graffiti or
like Sharpie writing and it's just horrible
but it's the only place we could find to stay you get up to the actual door for
the Aloha and like at this point I'm basically dragging
Brandon like so I'm like no we got to do this we
have nowhere else to stay we have to dump our bag somewhere so uh finally get
to the door open it up and all the walls are like super bright colored and it
looks like they actually had artists come in and like paint on all the walls and stuff so it's nice once you get into
the main area but it is the most ghetto place I have ever stepped foot in before
you get to that main area so there's one of my stories for my trip
that was within the first 24 hours oh good well I'm sure I can expect a call
whether I'm on the show or not from from your mom telling me about how what a bad
person I am all right so speaking of me being a bad person why don't we move
into our first topic here how does this
have anything to do with you being a it doesn't really okay this is Inbox by
Gmail this is not a replacement for Gmail this is just from first glance it
looks like a new way of organizing your GMA email I actually really like what
I've seen so far I did request an invite which is actually the only way to join
so there's a request invite button up here do that and uh we can go ahead and
yeah you better you better do that Luke because it looks like it's looks like it's pretty cool actually the invite
system is redonkulous you send an email
to inbox gmail.com not even kidding and the
buttons broken when I click the link it opens up my Gmail but doesn't actually
open up a uh oh yeah no two yeah it doesn't actually autop populate the the
two field so you have to type it in yourself it's like oh come on Google
anyway so the way that it works is it you know how we've had for a little
while ways of organizing messages uh promos purchases blah blah blah I think
right now I've got promotions and then something else anyway the point is it
adds more options like that you can now add your own categorizations so things
like purchases like receipts um things like tracking numbers for orders you've
made online will be sorted out for you and this one I really like so now you
can actually preview stuff like okay here's your flight information here's a
quick link so you can check in it's right there you don't even have to open
emails in order to get all the information that you need from it seems
like they took the whole Google Now concept and just mashed it with Gmail
and turned it into email which I think is great because I don't use Google now
but I would use inbox by Gmail because
of this right here being a remind are one of
those it feels very separate from everything about Android reminders are
just kind of this thing like you could
kind of have it sort of next to your email or something and it's it's it's
the same problem that I have with Google Now which is I actually really like the
idea but I always forget to check it so it's useless yes and and you forget to
clean up the old ones and and stuff like that so you you mean to use it but you
almost need a reminder to remind you to use it so having something like this
right in my inbox and with ways to manage it now you can do things like
snooze both reminders and emails something I've been asking for for ages
because I loved that about Windows pocket PC like and I still love that
about Windows phone it's one of the few things I do love about Windows phone is
the way that you can manage notifications and reminders if you're
someone who might be say for example on a filming set and you can't deal with it
right now well actually iOS 8 has some pretty the chat pointed something funny
not to interrupt you but she's using an
iPhone the chat pointed this out I didn't notice this she is look at that
using an iPhone 6 yeah huh it's not like a huge deal but it's just kind of funny
you'd think they would have done enough looking into their own images to make
sure that they had their own phones yeah like that's a Nexus 5 there you
go well maybe they're making a point maybe the point is this is for yeah yeah
I mean Google does a Reas reasonably good job of supporting uh supporting
Android I mean their their studio app just crashes uh whenever I reply to
comments on iOS 8 works fine on iOS 7
but yeah I think this is great being able to manage notifications being able
to snooze an email like hey let me deal with this in four hours or tomorrow or
in a couple days is great that would be great for us CU a lot of times we'll
fire an email to each other at like 3:00 or 4 in the morning and I'll get it then
and be like oh I need to deal with this tomorrow not now yeah I think it's great
like because I use my email as my to-do list I just have a to-do list draft
email to myself that I just edit because it's more handy for me than having a
separate app for that like Evernote yeah um I do use keep anytime I need a
location based reminder but other than that I use Gmail for that and I use it
as a scheduler as well so the calendar will have like our video release
schedule but Gmail unread messages is
really my to-do list in a lot of ways where I'll be like oh
you know add this to the W show discussion or do this or do that I'll send myself emails and so being able to
manage that better looks fantastic I'm I'm impressed so far but I haven't tried
it yet of course that sign up is pretty funny I sent an email and got an
immediate reply back which just like all right you've been added to list like why
why is it done by email I don't I don't know it's super weird all right speaking
of things that are ridiculous and this was originally posted on the Forum by
Victorious Secret Apple beats bows out
of their retail and online stores really
like the wording of that headline Victoria Secret you're a very funny
person um so this comes right on the
heels of Apple's acquisition of Beats
and we actually did double check so I um
this is I did a search for Bose on apple.com and I came up with a bunch of
routers and some servers I think and a telepresence robot oh that's really
expensive yeah yep jeez um so they have they have kicked
them out there's some speculation right now 9 to5 Mac did go ahead and phone
some Apple stores and confirm that they are no longer carrying Bose products I
don't know that that's been rolled out to all stores but it is unknown at this
time whether this is more to do with Apple's recent acquisition of Beats and
the associated headphones or more to do
with just some general kurur fuffeling between Apple and Bose over the last
little while so there was Bose um
threatening threatening beats with a lawsuit over use of their noise
cancellation technology and then there was also the NFL deal where Bose is
sponsoring the NFL and uh NFL players
some of who have lucrative beat sponsorship contracts are not permitted
to wear their headphones at NFL events
so this was actually another 9o5 Mac article that I'll just bring up for you
guys so uh 49ers quarterback was fined
10,000 th000 for wearing beets headphones to a press conference he was
probably fine with that because he probably got a lot more than that from beats I'm sure that he can work that out
with Beats to make sure that he doesn't end up having to eat that but it's still
that sucks yeah you know not that I necessarily think celebrity endorsements
are the greatest thing ever when it comes to you know selling headphones
that aren't worth what people areay has a celebrity endorsement ever affected a
purchase of yours wow that is such a
great H straw pull and Twitter Blitz
guys okay yeah hit hit us and this can include like if you're buying say I know
Kingston does a lot of Esports sponsorships so if you're buying Kingston stuff just because you want to
support Esports that counts if you want to support that person specifically that
counts have you ever let a celebrity endorsement affect your purchase
decision we're not going to do a straw poll I want to do this as a Twitter Blitz um and I want to move on to the
next topic while I think about whether or not I've had I've had a celebrity
endorsement effect something because it's subtle a lot of the time you have
to really think about it if you answer honestly and think about it you guys cuz
I suspect more of you than a lot of you who had an initial knee-jerk reaction no
of course not have probably had it affect you whether you know it or not I
um I haven't knee-jerk purchased something because of one but I have
definitely paid more attention and like
NE maybe research something like if if I see something if I see someone using it
uh especially different programing stuff they could be like oh that's an
interesting mouse that this guy's using say it's Counter Strike and I'd look
into that Mouse and try and figure out if there's anything interesting about that mous and then maybe purchase it
based on other reviews and stuff but I haven't knjk purchased something just
because of a celebrity you know what I'm trying to I'm trying to think of a
product that I've purchased based on someone and I can't really think of like
a consumer electronics product but I have purchased books based on who wrote
the forward definitely I um I forget what book I I
forget what book I bought because it had a forward by Steve wnac and he said it
was good and so I bought it I've done that with books for sure so so I I yes
and I don't know if Steve wnc counts as a celebrity in the same way that a
sports icon does because the book was I think it was a business book so he would
actually know something about that where okay cuz there's cuz there's two
different yeah I know you're you have a good point there's unrelated celebrity endorsement
I actually recently found out how much they were talking about it on the radio
so my source for this for this story is
um shoot it's not team 1040 TSN 1040
it's a local radio station and they were saying that Kim Kardashian charges a
million dollars just to show up for an endorsement of like you know a makeup
product or jeans or grand opening or whatever the thing happens to be um she
require six first class plane tickets so for her and whoever she wants to bring
with her they need ground security they need first class accommodations and um I
forget what some of the other requirements are but you know what's funny is I found I figured out that for
things like you know NVIDIA mod 24 I don't think we've been charging enough
because I did a rough calculation and I kind of went okay Kim Kardashian's
Twitter followers my Twitter followers Kim Kardashian a million dollars and how
much I charge for things and I went shoot I should be charging way more for
stuff if Tim Kardashian's worth a million dollars anyway that's pretty
funny sort sort of unrel let's go ahead and start doing that Twitter Blitz I
think I think I figured out that yes I have purchased books based on think
about books I I've even done I've looked up different people's book lists like I
have Elon musk's book list and I've bought certain things off of his book
list so I've like definitely done that I
didn't think about books at all I don't think buying a 780 Ti after our review
counts no because we're not endorsing the product in any official way yeah
that's a review that's a review not an end we talking about like if if you saw
someone wearing something yeah all right
if we were wearing a 780 as like a
necklace oh all right I think uh no
sense here we go Josh says of course started with Nike Air Jordans I'm sure
that specific one goes for quite a few people I think so yeah that in beats I
think it'll be a loto says I buy based on the company not the person
advertising the product I'm a big celebrity person I'm just trying to
think did Happy Gilmore affect my Subway
purchasing patterns that's more of a product placement than a celebrity
endorsement but he does do a celebrity endorsement within the movie yeah as
happy I don't know that's like Endor
setion uh when I was younger didn't know any better example uh player boots oh
crap yes I have not actually bought one
based on this but I have shopped for badminton rackets based on who uses the
racket interesting I have not done that with sports gear but I do definitely
know a lot of people that have Alan says no my money is too precious to waste on
orts yeah but we're talking about everything here yeah Joshua says yes
I've bought something because you endorsed it before Palm says no CJ says
if you count yourself then yes I got a 1 M8 because of your review again review I
was not paid to endorse it in fact HTC's
never paid us anything yeah we've we've never done a paid deal with them reviews
don't count definitely I didn't know what be
quiet was until I saw the as a sponsor of dignitas there you go there you go
there's a good one and we're not talking specifically about Esports though I just
wanted to make sure that everyone knows they're included interesting does it count as a
celebrity endorsement if they actually buy the product and wear it I think in
the context of when I was asking the question no no but that would still be a
public figure influencing your purchasing decision and that would
probably influ Inu my purchasing decision more there's actually quite a
few people here's three in a row saying that yes they are they have purchased
something because because we talked about it or endorsed it in some way um
Duncan says to subscribing to someone on Twitch count no I don't think so that's
more like just paying that person yeah um wow interesting KNX says reviews and
user feedback versus versus celebrity I've used celebrity endorsement to go
look for reviews and user feedback right I haven't new- jerk purchased something
though interesting yeah really uh thank you
guys very much for your comments on that that was actually very uh very
interesting to see more than anything else how many of you were honest about
it mhm cuz it I'm just trying to think
like some celebrity endorsements have stood out to me a lot more than than
others like um shoot that guy who did
the stupid Subway commercials with the silly voice Subway eat fresh I can't
remember his guy he used to do like silly movies like style crap ever so I
idea yeah I can't remember it stood out to me definitely didn't buy more Subway
because of it um I think the first time
I tried Quiznos was after they did The Toasted taste better campaign with Don
Cherry though really I think so I didn't first time I tasted Quiznos is because I
was super hungry and they're their only thing in range I like Quiznos not
because Don Cherry endorses it but uh I find you get more with Subway you do I
don't know if that's right yeah I like the taste of Quiznos but Subways a much better value yeah all right this was
originally originally posted by s
vins whatever I don't care um I tried
man all right ours Technica and bbc.com
and techreport have all had oh I I love Scott Watson so we're going to pull up
we're going to pull up his article on this but this is really interesting IBM
pays Global foundaries $1.5 billion to
take over their cash sync of a chip
Foundry business so here's the article on tech report there's actually some
really interesting information on that one because um C Cel excuse me Cel
brings up that this deal could be subject to as many as 200 regulatory
bodies approval worldwide before going through because IBM supplies some chips
to governmental agencies that's actually pretty intense yeah that's that's
inredible um so right 1.5 billion going
to Global foundaries over the next 3 years to complete the transfer IBM
continuing their $3 billion committed investment into semiconductor Tech
research over 5 years Global foundaries will be the main beneficiary of the
ongoing research and will acquire thousands of patents as part of the deal
and Global foundaries is required presumably actually I don't know that
they're required to but they're saying they are going to keep substantially all
of the IBM employees and Facilities other than one in broma Quebec which IBM
will keep and will will continue its current mission of developing Advanced
semiconductor packaging solutions for IBM server and storage products so IBM
intends to keep designing semiconductor products but they're entering into a
10-year deal for Global frares to produce all of their 2214 and 10
nanometer semiconductor products for I think I said 10 years already yeah I
think this can be pretty interesting especially because of Google's recent thing with their red motherboards did
you read about that did not um Google
has been basically exclusive ly Intel for a really long time but Google is now
saying that they want more competition on that realm so they have set up these
new like mysterious red motherboards that will work with uh IBM chips so that
they can start shifting so they have a little bit more of a distribution instead of just being almost exclusively
Intel interesting okay so they're moving
more into IBM chips and IBM is moving out of a Foundry business which is an
interesting combination they've already converted their code to be able to work on these new Chips well so they're still
going to be designing chips for Mainframe products and they're still
going to be having global foundaries produce them so they'll still be selling them they just are trying to move their
business gradually away from lower profitability businesses things like say
for example making laptops which they sold to Lenovo uh making servers which
they also just recently unloaded and now even making chips is not profitable
enough for IBM they're moving towards cloud and social they're getting very
much away from anything that could be anywhere close to cons yeah anything
physical tangible consumer based n no
man forget it pretty interesting all right this is a pretty quick topic this
is uh posted by Teresa ter 93 uh this is
from 3dprint.com and we're going to go ahead and pull that up here oh I guess I
should put us back in the corner yay we're back look at us up here Party
Corner party we haven't done a corner
party okay all right um so twoyear
sentence handed down to yoshimo Yoshi
excuse me yoshitomo imira in Japanese 3D
printed gun case so this was back in May
of this year I believe that he was originally arrested but um after he was
seen test firing a zigzag revolver for
which he had 3D printed japine is known for their strict gun laws but I am
surprised to see them crack down this hard on what appears to be the first
offense here I'm not really that surprised I'm and I'm I'm very surprised
that he's like oh I'm unaware that there's any laws prohibiting cuz he went
and fired it as well and if they have laws strictly against guns in general
like do you really think you're going to just totally get away with
this I'm surprised it was two years I would have expected the first time
around to be more of a slap on the wrist to like slap on the wrist and inate laws
and then and then make sure that it's super clear and then beyond that it's
like okay look you guys knew at this point so too bad yeah that's not a bad
point I just I just think it's kind of silly that he's like oh yeah I had no
idea this was illegal it's like yeah okay you must have known at some level
you're going to get in trouble yeah I think he probably also underestimated
how much trouble he was going to get into I just it just it seems like one of
those things where some leniency well I
guess you have to decide do you give some leniency and then you know just
hope that others following don't expect any leniency or do you just crack down
on it super hard make international news here we are talking about it and make it
really clear that no we are controlling guns that means guns you make yourself
guns other people make for you cuz it's not like you couldn't make a gun before no and it's not like that wasn't illegal
so in in places where it's a different form of manufacturing yeah it's just a
different way of making your own gun that doesn't make it any different really people make guns in prison it's
doable all right speaking of making guns in prison this was posted by Ty
lightning and the original article is from pcgamer.com
Far Cry 4 season pass offers New
Missions and PVP mode now it has been
pointed out by a Ubisoft employee who
shall remain namess who was like yo dog
I can't believe you posted you know that in flammatory link on your Facebook
because it's just the one mode that is
DLC you will actually still have access
to General PVP multiplayer it's just the
overrun mode so you team up in this PVP
mode and control a series of neutral locations so yeah it's just a territory
control mode the one I would have liked the most so like the one that will
probably be fun in the context of Assassin's and the one that Far Cry 4
excuse me yeah Far Cry 4 and the one that is included in every other game
ever and so my response to that I didn't reply to the email but I'm going to
respond to it now my response to that is it should be inflammatory Ubisoft should
be torn a new one for turning something that was already included with every
other game ever into something that's a launch day DLC the season's pass goes
for 30 bucks includes what is it I think it's um Maps some Story crap five Miss
uh apparently yees Valley of the yeis so
you've crashed in a blah blah blah with single player and Co-op options it looks
like it's just a survival mode you know I think left for dead too had that you
know much cheaper game maybe go get that one yeah actually I I feel I should play
some Left 4 Dead it's been a long time it's good and it's like really really
cheap now so between the cost of the game and the season's pass which
includes enough content that I guess you could say it justifies the $30 price tag
but you could also say justify its own existence this was a lot of stuff that
was produced for the sole purpose of selling it to you on launch day so that
you could pay a higher sticker price for the game we discussed this last week you
weren't here for this but we discussed based on inflation based on the
increased General number of men or woman
hours that goes into making a game is $90 actually unfair amount to ask given
that there were SNES games 60 bucks there more metrics to look at than that
I know and there's a lot more to look at than that but let's just go pure
inflation okay a game should be 75 bucks
Fair it's not fair but it's real distribution is a lot cheaper Than
Physical distribution digal dist cheap massive amount of more customers
ridiculous degree amount that's not really the point you're looking at your sales bananas don't go down in price
because bananas are a physical item these aren't a physical yes bananas are
a physical item the you can give someone a digital banana okay it the it's rarely
to do with the cost of making something it's always to do with the value that
the customer gets from it that's how things are priced unless they're
commodity items and I would argue a game is not a commodity item not digital
things necessarily that's why movies are
if if one person was viewing a movie digitally it would cost the cost of
creating that movie yes how many people you're able to sell it to is part of a
salc yeah but it's not about cost I think movies are a great example because
with the exception of services like Netflix movies have taken a long time to
adapt to okay things should cost less because they're digital they didn't cost
any less because they're digital in fact very well known to be a very slow moving
crappy industry that Netflix has been like you guys are idiots and then taken
over yes so not necessarily a good
example okay then we could pull up an example like the billion dollars that
uh crap I'm not sure League of Legends okay
yeah uh we could pull we could say the example of you know the billion dollars
that League of Legends makes they could afford to do a skin for a penny but they
don't because it's about the value that the consumer places on that item not
about the cost of Crea they're also not locking game modes it's a skin okay but
they also have Heroes that they do lock but that you can unlock for free yeah
and aren't that hard to really get how about this all right all right if anyone from Ubisoft is watching this time
around how about this why can't why don't you unlock why don't you unlock
the season why don't you find make a way to unlock the season's pass if you
achieve 90% game completion or something like that really interesting and you can
make it difficult most of the Ubisoft games are not that easy to 100% because
there's usually collectible items and stuff there's a lot of there's a lot of junk oh yeah and that's fine for the
people who really really would have used
the extra content okay you guys can prove to us that you really need it you
could even make it 100% the game and you could make it you could make it 100% the
game I think that's a little unfair like I think if they were going to be reasonable about it it should be
something more like an 80 or 90% well if you're going to include like challenge
modes then it should be 80 or 90 yeah so so so and then okay then go ahead and we
unlock it automatically for those people but if you're one of those people who
just wants to dink around with this particular thing and or you just don't
feel like doing side missions and you just want to play through the story Mission and it's worth the $30 to you
making it an optional upgrade would Gamers feel better about that I would I
would do it because I like doing that already I'm a completionist already no
matter how lame that is so you you know I took my Assassin's Creed safe file
100% it and then it corrupted and I was super pissed but like yeah I do remember that I did that already anyways I didn't
end up buying really any DLC because once I was done with the game I was done with the
game so I don't know and my corrupt save
file was a major piss off I probably would have bought DLC if my game didn't
corrupt but still I don't know that would be cool I would like that if you
buy the season's pass it's 20% less than all the DLCs individually uh game and
pass can be purchased in an all-in-one Far Cry Gold Edition for 90 bucks but
it's not necessarily actually cheaper just not a discount over buying the game and buying the DLC separately um it's
coming out November 18th why are we why why do we care if it comes out November
18th because you should probably buy it on November 25th when it's 10 or $20 off
and we'll probably have a benchmarking video yeah that that that'll that'll
happen for sure for Far Cry 4 we got to make that happen all right so GTX 97 ITX
from gab this looks freaking amazing posted by Ras on the Forum original
articles from tomshardware.com I'm going to go ahead and load that up you want to
tell them about this freaking Miracle of a little graphics card here so
apparently it's going to be running colder than the reference card it's actually be running at 62° cus instead
of 76° C during a Metro last Light
Benchmark which is sick considering it is smaller it is ITX size so it's it's
it's similar to the old what was it 670 uh oh yeah I think uh both
and MSI did 760 ITX edition cards so just
longer than a slot yeah yeah yeah so just barely longer so you're going to be
able to fit it in these tiny little miniature cases which is great that's
super awesome it's a 970 because 970 are
already really good for their value and quite fast and like you just said
console Killers anyone for sure and people that are building these little miniature steam machine things which are
just PCS but they're small and have Steam OS on it anyways uh this is
probably a great card for them are we still live yeah why okay I'm having
troubles with my yeah yeah it's all good um yeah anyways it's powered by a single
8 Pin PCI Express power connector which is also great because you don't want to
be running a whole ton of cables in these really compact systems so that's
good to see card comes overclocked running at 1076 uh mehz base with a
boost clock of 1216 which is pretty damn fast and the vrm circuitry is apparently
not all that elaborate and the cooler doesn't look necessar bar that amazing
either but it is performing better than the reference one so still pretty cool
so there's not a whole lot to complain about and there's a whole lot to like
about this card two DVI ports three DisplayPort interfaces and an HDMI port
and it's $330 and apparently ships early November so real freaking soon yeah
we've uh we've already reached out to Gigabyte about hopefully doing a review
of IT where we can really see cuz I mean it's one thing to say okay the
temperatures are this but we don't really have any clarification as to like
is that on an open test bench what about when someone actually tries to build a
mini ITX system with this I would definitely like to investigate that a
little bit and find out find out what's up with that that' be really cool excited for that card to show up yeah so
far so far we haven't got a confirmation that will be covering it but I would
really like to all right so next up
we've got a Kickstarter for hoverboard
so this was originally posted by Liam McShan on the Forum I'm going to go
ahead and pull up the kickstarter page here
Boop hendo hoverboards the world's first
real hoverboard does this feel to you like they're actually trying to make a
company or does it seem like they're just trying to cash in on making a
flashy video on Kickstarter and having a bunch of people give you money and then
honestly that's all that Kickstarter really feels like lately so I'm going to
be a little bit biased on this one but over the last little while Kickstarter
has been pretty in the dumps um I was
much less enchanted with this than I think a lot of people were
um it it I'd be enchanted with this video actually playing there we go
doesn't want to skip forward apparently though a really well-shot Kickstarter
video is basically like the equivalent of printing money
yeah like I I would be like looking at
looking at this video looking at the way this was shot is
uh this wasn't cheap no it either wasn't
cheap or they have like a cinematography dork with a lot of really great
equipment on I thought it was funny how he did you see when the kid was running
the thing over it was all over different things of metal yeah players and so the
way this Tech works it seems very magnificent when you when you consider
that holy crap they've got a hoverboard look at this wow he's on a hoverboard
except that the issue is that this hover
oh I guess we should probably we should probably show this the issue is that
this hoverboard only runs on metal so
yeah so that's a metal it's just magnets and I mean yes it is still an
achievement because if you've ever taken two magnets with similar poles facing
each other and like tried to have one of them sit on top of the other one it
ain't that simple like it's cool but it isn't it 10
grand to buy a single one yeah it's 10 grand to buy a single one they've
already sold all of the individual which was 10 hoverboards that they've
committed to commit so does it look like they're trying to create a viable
business not really because they've only committed to producing 10 hoverboards if
they were trying to make a business out of making hoverboards you would think
they would want to sell as many of them as possible yeah and that wouldn't be 10
um cuz the reality of it is you're not going to be able to ride it
anywhere so at all like at all because
there's no metal in the sidewalk so you're not going to be Maring the fly
skate park or yeah or or over like you know the fountain as you run away from
the bullies or whatever so yeah very cool no makes no sense I don't
understand how they managed to raise $350,000 you do get a pretty cool thing
for some of the uh some of the funding tiers you get this little uh metal plate
with a little white box that uses the same principles to float around on it
that's super cool but I don't understand why anyone bought a hoverboard for
$10,000 unless they also intend on
spending incredible amounts of money to make their own like metal skate park
like metal skate park insanely expensive spent $10,000 on a skateboard maybe
that's what I mean like if if you're going all in and you're spending if
you're already Super Rich for one and just intend to make your own entire
metal skate park which can't go wrong in any way of course not yeah um then sure
operation cannot possibly fail yeah just make a whole metal skate park sure and
don't don't don't don't bother getting any grind rails or anything cuz that's
totally not going to work yeah that won't work you can grind the board
against it yeah yeah don't think recommend it I guess you'll probably have a pretty simple skate park actually
just swoop like they had in the video that's pretty much all you can do yeah
uh H's about an inch off the ground but I guess you guys saw that in the video
so there you go I guess that's all we really have to say about that at least
you don't have to pay for new skateboard
wheels mind you you could get a skateboard that does have wheels on it
that you ride as much as you're going to ride this hoverboard and then you'd never have to pay for new wheels for
that either since you won't be riding this hoverboard I can show you guys a
picture of that gtx970 ITX now so there you go that's what it looks like it's
small and it's a gtx970 yep so that picture is on Tom's Hardware if you
wanted to look at it some more that share share ribbon right down the middle
of the picture that was that was super cool yeah I like that all right posted
by solos SDK this original article is from bgr.com Apple's
88x dominates the benchmarks I wonder if
he's the software development kit for solo things
uh sure all right so let's see if this
page is going to load at some point and if it doesn't then I'll you'll just have to uh you'll just have to count on me to
sort of talk about now Apple's been really Cy about the specs of their A8
chip I mean this is pretty typical for them but it looks like all they were
really saying in their event was 40% faster which is very typical Apple speak
yeah does things two times as
well magical I love the facial expression apparently all Apple people
just have duck face but like shifted upwards duck face really smug duck
face it's 40% faster
revolutionary we changed everything yet
again we changed everything again the
best part of that is how little has actually changed since the original no
yeah why is this not working oh cuz you're not plugged into the wall with it
why was it unplugged it's okay you still got a lot of battery left anyway said 11
what no no you got lots you're good you got 1 hour 10 minutes it just told me it
just told me it gave me a warning saying 11% and then now it's saying 55% up so
so basically um looks like it's going to be a three core processor looks like it
runs at something like 1.4 GHz I don't know that article is not loading for me
anymore and the detail was in there ah yes here we go and it looks like it
freaking trashes everything else that Apple has ever released in terms of
performance so the iPhone 6 which runs the A8 so we're not seeing the same chip
in an iPad and an iPhone product this time around is much much much slower so
the CPU Mark rating is 44,000 for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and 73,000
for the iPad Air 2 looking pretty spiffy
nothing special about the memory except that oh wait Apple finally put two gigs
of RAM in a product wow they've changed
everything again by doubling the memory they changed everything specifically RAM
it's it's it's it's okay there's a couple things that are interesting to me about this so ARM at 1.5 GHz One
processor three cores very very cool stuff um the one interesting thing to me
about them finally increasing RAM is because Apple tends to support the iPad
products with new os's for longer than the iPhone products from my experience
like I my iPad 2 is still getting updates so I I still get get ios8 how
great the experience it is yeah who knows I also wouldn't be too surprised
if people were iteratively updating their tablets less than their phones
which is probably why they're doing that which makes sense yeah so okay so the
only thing that this indicates to me is maybe at some point whether it's iOS 9
or iOS 10 we are finally going to see the phones move to two gig and we're
finally going to see some kind of better multitasking experience on iOS something
I brought up in my review that went live last night about iOS is that it's not
all about speeds and feeds on this thing yes it only has a gig of RAM but what
multitasking are you doing on iOS anyway and the management of background
resource usage is excellent that's why you can go to bed with an iPhone on your
nightstand and wake up with 2% or 3% of
your battery drained that does not happen on Android because Android
doesn't shut down background apps and if I forget to shut down certain apps I can
have more drain overnight than during the day because throughout the day I'll
be like oh yeah I should close things yeah I installed Plex on my 1 M8 and I
was getting um 65 to 70% battery drain
just sitting on my pillow from when I wake up until I get home from work which
is at around 8:00 p.m. I find the camera to be the worst because a lot of times I
want to take a quick picture and then go back to what I was doing so I just press home and I don't close it and just sits
there idling in the background takes a huge amounts of battery so yeah this is
all interesting uh so the iPad Air 2 crushes the benchmarks cool uh I guess
that's all we really have to say about yeah yeah it's not really
yay it did things well all right so moving on 14 nanometer
Broadwell e is rumored to enter mass production in q1 2016 this was posted on
the Forum by big stream this is a pretty far off rumor yeah so this is a pretty
far off rumor it also indicates something that makes me pretty sad and
that's that Broadwell for consumers is
going to come significantly before Broadwell for enthusiasts so we're going
back to that whole Enthusiast get things after everyone else yeah which was
unavoidable I guess because really this
is more of a really this is more of a server Enterprise product anyway
because it's a Zeon platform that's where they're doing the bulk of the business with quad Channel memory and
all that stuff enthusiasts just kind of get to also enjoy it um and that space
moves a lot slower and so you know I
guess we should be happy it's only a six-month leg as opposed to the year
that we were seeing before and at least we're still going to have so it looks
like it's going to be eight and six core options again support for overclocking
with K series SKS Intel turbo boost 2.0 up to 20 megabytes of cache and the
power is going to be 140 Watts with up to 40 Lanes of PCIe 3.0 so I think we're
going to see a very very similar to Haswell e type of product lineup 8 core
six core six core with cut down PCIe Lanes on the bottom one but I have no
problem with that Haswell e is a great product especially the
5820k and this looks like that plus 10%
IPC and better power consumption so there you go um actually
50 5820k I think is not getting enough credit I see a lot of people really
questioning the use of fewer PCI Express
Lanes on that product 28 versus 40 and
contemplating stepping up to the 5930k which I don't think makes a ton of sense
didn't we didn't we have we only theorized about releasing that video or
did we actually release that no that video is out the one where we showed uh
SLI scaling with the different CPUs unless you're going quad SLI I can't
come up with a reason probably shouldn't which you probably shouldn't I can't
come up with a good reason why you need to buy a 5930k or 5820k there are some
things okay if you want to really leverage m.2 storage expansion so if you
want to be plugging an SSD directly into p C Express and you want two graphics
cards and you want uh a 10 GB Nick and
you want you know a raid card for your other storage array so you probably
shouldn't run quad SLI and you're probably not running that yeah you're
probably not doing all that stuff you might be if that were to happen you
might need the PCI Express Lanes but even with 28 Lanes two cards running at
8X 8X is only 16 of them that's still 12
more so an m.2 you know SSD there goes
another four you still got lots of PCI Express Lanes left so I don't think it's
that big of a deal I think the 5820k makes a ton of
sense all right so we're expecting
pre-engineering samples processor sometime in Q2
2015 um and they will continue to use the LGA 2011 V3 x99 platform that's
great news so we're getting small small incremental
improvements the NSA approved Samsung's
Galaxy phones for classified work this was was posted by Tech dreamer on the
Forum and let's just go ahead and uh fire that up here so there's I guess
there's two ways to read this number one is Samsung phones are really secure
number two is and this is the tinfoil hat version Samsung phones are going to
tell the NSA everything or they're also really not secure because people worry
about global Keys possibly used by the NSA so there's there's like the the
second tin voil hat option but the tin hat options hats I don't think that's
it come on it's approved for use by the NSA
for themselves not approved for use like
it's not the NSA signing off on this phone is approv for use for people I
think it's approved for use for all government agencies within not all so
it's NSA and there's another specific one that it's approved for um
information system defense Information Systems agency and I suspect once those
ones approve it the others will start to fall very quickly but uh basically it's
what is it the note for Galaxy it's devices based on the nox security
platform so all Galaxy S4 S5 Note 3 Note
4 Note 10.1 2014 edition Note Edge Alpha
tab s8.4 tab s10.5 um and their ipvpn service yeah so
lots of basically encryption there's a separate the way nox Works we've
actually talked about it in the past in like an interview with someone from Samsung or something so you there's like
a separate phone within a phone like a virtual phone that's secured and then
you can continue to use the device personally with as little security as
you want within your own kind of user uh user virtual phone so it's it is pretty
cool um this is something that Samsung's been working on for a very long time
this was a big part of the story when they first launched the S4 so yeah I
guess I wouldn't be surprised at all if um NSA can easily get into these I'm not
just why wouldn't they say apple you could tell me the NSA can easily get
into my pants and I'd probably believe you so yeah they probably can
echolocation weird audio bouncing off things they can like form the digital
image and recreate skin color based off your face and then there you go and they
can digitally get in your pants they probably won't enjoy it so I guess I'll
I'll let them go for that all right oh now this was something
okay so I have a couple things to talk about here Apple this was posted by Sam
fer on the Forum original articles from RS Technica I have a couple of things to
talk about here first of all um I did say mistakenly that applications
will not benefit from 64-bit inherently
and it's mostly to do with architectural improvements in a fastest possible very
recently there are workloads that will benefit very significantly from 64-bit I
should have phrased it better because most of those workloads aren't something
that are going to be a major concern things like encryption benefit from
64-bit enormously but
it it doesn't really matter because a phone is already fast enough to handle
encryption very very easily so yes incremental power savings great
incremental performance in things like you know Touch ID recognition yes all
very good stuff love it fantastic it's just not a big big deal when it comes to
browsing the internet typically unless there's encryption involved so there's
that and number two is I said I really
didn't see how was going to handle smoothly transitioning to 64-bit on
their phones looks like this is it beginning February 2015 App Store
submissions must be 64bit boom so they've they've had a
64-bit CPU for a long time the 5S launched with a 64-bit CPU but
developers have kind of been dragging ass although in developers defense they
did go ahead and release iOS 7 and then
they did go ahead and release iOS 8 with two new screen sizes Apple's never done
that before two new screen sizes on the phone at a same at the same time never
done that before um so okay yeah devs
have been busy but now it's going to be
mandatory as of February so that's how they're going to do it by the time a
third generation iPhone with a 64-bit processor launches it will have been
mandatory for 6 months for your app to be 64-bit so any updates or any new apps
will have to be 64-bit if you have an app that's on the store and you don't update it for whatever reason I guess
it's still fine I guess if you don't update it it'll stay there but uh but
yeah if you were to deliver an update or do whatever else now to be clear these
64-bit apps will still have to work on 32-bit devices unless they specifically
say that they're compatible only with the 5s 6 6 Plus and then seven or
whatever the case may be but they will at least be able to take advantage of
the performance improvements and whatever else comes along with 64-bit
and there were some examples of non encryption based applications that did
speed up significantly and ntech actually did an excellent article
looking at just no optimizations at all just compile it in 32-bit compile it in
64-bit what kind of a performance Improvement do you see and there were some that did quite well and some that
even small performance Gams are important because it's about more than
how fast does that app launch it's about CPU idle time so when an app is done
being worked on done being launched your device isn't really working on it
anymore that's great for battery life which is great for the mobile experience
so if you can get an extra 10% of battery life on your phone would you
take it sure I would most definitely because it all
kind of sucks yeah exactly battery life is one of the most frustrating things
with phones right now all right speaking
of frustrating things with phones G skills Phoenix blade posted by big stuns
yeah I know the segue didn't make sense but original I trying to think I was
like maybe there's something from Guru 3D tech report tech power up lots of
good stuff here do you want to do you want to cover this one while I pull it up on the screen here so first of all it
looks absolutely beautiful but I guess you guys will see that in a moment it's
built on uh it's it's a 480 GB SSD array
with speeds up to 2,000 megabytes per second and 240k IHOPs that is so jokes
megabytes that's Dum fast that is
dumb see cuz normally you would say stupid fast that is actually fairly
interesting I'm not it's crazy fast PCIe gen 2.09 X eight uh trim and scuzzy umap
support uh smt all that kind of stuff
three-year warranty it's going to be $699 yeah which is a Lot
1 sorry Buck 48 gig or so Buck 46 okay
it's a little very very very close um did you did you brain math that no you
didn't okay no I read it before okay okay I was like that was pretty quick I
was pretty impressed no dog one random tidbit people in Germany are incredibly
fast at doing math in their head anyways that's what I found anyways so
yeah pretty cool did you get the picture of it yeah yeah I had that up for a bit there CU it does look really looks
badass it has four sandforce 2281 controllers on it yes it's a quad SSD
array in behind uh a PCI Express what is
it 8X interface did you say uh yes that is unfreaking believable and uh I think
that nine was a typo in there let's go ahead and remove that uh so yeah that
looks that looks fantastic I guess this this is just because LSI SL didn't they
get sold to like pixart or something like the San Forest unit getting
shuffled around can't even remember who it belongs to anymore but the new
generation sand Force controller that we saw for the first time over a year ago
at computex yeah still isn't here so this
is the closest thing we have is throwing more last generation sand Force
controllers on a better bus in raid
operation and then just kind of brute forceing the the only thing we have is
2,000 megabytes per second yeah that's all we got and the fact that it supports
trim is very surprising to me most raid controllers don't support Trim in fact
the one that I'm aware of that does do it is Intel's onboard raid and other
than that even add in like $600 $7 $800
raid cards most of them don't support passing trim through to ssds and raid
zero so trim is pretty important so that's
actually pretty cool all right the Pirate Bay is endorsing a VPN service
fruit VPN and it's free for now so
fruitv and.com the original article here is from torrent freak and this was
posted by Shala shalaska on the Forum
it's probably not free for very long um they've already actually posted about
that it's apparently not a paid spot for one they're apparently just kind of plug
in for friends which is interesting and this is not the first VPN that the Pirate Bay has actually plugged on their
website before the last VPN that they plugged ended up monetizing themselves
by filling it full of adwar which is what people are a little bit worried
about but they have said that um they're they're they're angry with the whole
commercialization of the VPN business which is why they created this they
intended it for it to be free at least for a very long time but with the fact
of them gaining 100,000 users in like a week or something they're like okay so
maybe not going to be free for all that long um but they are promising that when
it is monetized it will be very cheap cuz there's no real reason why vpns need
to be as expensive as they are and it takes it takes someone to come in and
shake up these industries I mean you look at what black magic design has done
to the production industry you know where they just kind of go no we're
going to make it and this comes back to our discussion about what is something
worth is it worth what it cost to make plus a markup or is it worth What It's
Worth to someone minus
nothing and black magic came in with a bit of a different philosophy where they
went well it's going to cost us this much to make this thing yeah it's going to be a little bit buggy the firmware
updates might come a little bit slow but but we're going to do our we're going to do our darnest to to deliver this thing
for you versus what the guys like Canon or Sony were content to do which was
build the least good possible thing that
is just incrementally better than the last one charge as much as they possibly can for it based on how much money they
know that people can generate with this equipment because professionals will just have to pay for it it's like what
choice do we have we have to buy studio lights we need lights to make videos so
however much they charge us for lights as long as we can generate enough money
and make enough videos we'll find a way to pay for them lights are stupid
expensive the ones we use now are actually pretty cheap these are the house brand uh B&H ones but not the Kos
no the Kos are really expensive so um so
yeah that's I guess pretty much it so basically their whole thing is they want
to make this VPN make sense from how much it actually costs to deliver VPN
service to someone and a markup and how much people are paying paying for it
there there is some up like the if you check if they're even able to go to
their website a lot of the time their website's down let's see if it's up right now yeah just okay cool um it is
down a lot of the time they are a quite new website with all the traffic they've
been getting and stuff they are they are seen as still quite sketchy by scam
advisor scam advisor showing them at 48% and showing that they're a fairly
unknown reputation website um there's
not a ton known about their company at all they're still pretty new um H yeah
and have possibly affiliations with a few other companies like the ISP that
they're buying all of their internet from um but those as far as I know at
this point in time are not necessarily confirmed so very interesting VPN
popping up we'll see have to see how it goes now think about a VPN is you have
to at least have some level of trust for them yeah because all the data now yeah
but we'll see um obviously a lot of people are using them one complaint that
I've seen a lot is that their the speed is not very fast but that's obviously
because they just got massively hammered by everyone so I would probably if it's
too frustrating to use now maybe come back in a while and see how it goes
because it's going to be too much for them now that's that's what I was talking about like their website being
down and stuff whoa So speaking of scam advisor I brought up our scam advisor
linest Tech tips.com High trust rating this site looks safe to use 100% looks
safe yay yayay Cool lus Tech tips Community Forum
domain age 6 years oh that's right cuz it used to have that silly blog on it
owner country hidden ha yeah all right
so uh let's go ahead and go back I don't think that appap location is right but
either way yeah no no is that oh I don't actually yeah it's not going that all
right so moving on to oh we should do our sponsor spots right speaking of
learning and learning being awesome linda.com so you can get a free trial of
linda.com if you go to linda.com /w show
it's 7 days it's all you can eat and
what would you want to eat you might ask well
knowledge yes linda.com is actually a
fantastic service they do videos that educate you about whether it's you want
to improve at your hobby or open up new career prospects for yourself they've
got all kinds of great stuff you can learn photography you can learn coding
you can learn um I wouldn't even be surprised if they have like needle point
but I should probably I'm just curious
needle point and just in case you were maybe wondering for whatever reason scam
advisor says that they're 100% safe yeah
yeah we're gonna we're going to validate all of our future sponsors like that no
linda.com is definitely 100% safe they're a super legit service we have a
couple of people here at Linus Media Group one of them is right here who used
skills they learned on linda.com to do their daily job so it
can lead to gainful employment or even if you just want to get better at
something where you're a hobbyist uh unfortunately videos are okay we don't
unfortunately have anything on needle point which is probably fine which is
probably fine they do have lots and lots of serious courses so 3D animation audio
and music business education development
video photography marketing uh just web stuff learning about it on linda.com is
great could even be pretty cool if you want to make your own little 3D printed
objects to maybe put in a computer case I would be amazed if in the next 10
years CAD isn't something that gets taught as part of the mandatory
curriculum in school as opposed to something that you can sometimes take as
an elective that would be really interesting because if 3D printers start being in pretty much every home and a
day-to-day usage thing not even just in the home if 3D printers are something
where you're going to be expected to know how to use one like at a job the
way that word processing is today I can
totally see that being part of of a Forward Thinking educational curriculum
so being able to to learn some things about about 3D modeling would be an
amazing way to leverage linda.com so guys when linda.com show for a free
7-Day trial you can decide if you like it if you feel like you're learning and
it's worth the actually pretty trivial monthly subscription fee then guys
definitely check it out and our other sponsor today is one that we both feel
strongly is pretty awesome a they're Canadian the guy who started it Canadian
we're Canadian that's pretty cool well we're large but we're fairly
small population countries yeah you know so we get real proud whenever Canada
comes up with anything yeah still holding on to that penicillin so store.
phantom.in protector out there on top of
being oleophobic and scratch resistant and shatter resistant and all that stuff
that your phone already is it feels just like your phone already is all it does
is add another layer of the same Gorilla Glass that your phone was already using
to make it so not only is it going to resist being scratched by your keys in
your pocket if in the event it does actually get scratched because you drag
it across the pavement you can just peel it right off and replace it just like
that another cool thing is I actually just R my HTC1 M8 cuz I had an issue
with the lens they did get back to me it is has all been resolved so I'm still
going through my as a customer RMA experience cool pretty interesting so I
sent that back to them and um I was able to remove my Phantom glass from it with
any issues with it and I'm going to put that right back on the new one it is
fully removable and it is I think I can even say this it is bubble prooof yeah
I've never seen a bubble on one it is you can't get a bubble under the glass
because it it just magically does it itself I did a review for Phantom glass
before we ever took them on as a sponsor because I've always been pretty sketched
out by cases and screen protectors
because they're Allon cases for phones garbage cases for phones yes they're all
junk and so having a sponsor or even
doing reviews I reject almost I don't think have we ever done a case review I
think I did an otter box once and then I destroyed it broke it on camera and then
they never talked to me again yeah so so I I don't like phone cases I think
they're all just didn't you like partially damage your own phone during
that review yeah yeah just just for for you guys so you could know what's up
remember that yeah so so for them I really wanted to see it work before I
was willing to take them on as a sponsor and it does and it's awesome and we we
both feel strongly that they're cool they're actually going to be sponsoring us for CES yeah that's in the plan so we
have we have I are we actually doing my little yes we're going to do it but
we're not going to tell them yet but it's going to be hilarious the like the
sponsored video we're doing for them is going to be a
mustat a must watch pretty excited okay
I didn't know it was a secret thing but luckily I didn't say anything all right speaking of mustat this was posted by
card on the Forum kit guru.net has an article about how the Titan Z has
dropped in price to the point where it might actually even make sense to buy
one if you really want a Titan Z if you really want a Titan Z oh man
that's F personally I'd pick up a couple 97s but whatever yeah I probably would
if you really want that vram it does have 6 gigs of vram per GPU and with
games like Assassin's Creed Unity apparently saying that you need a minimum of two but we later yeah it it
know it might make sense it's down to 9900 Great Britain pounds including fat
now okay again these are very uh cherry pick numbers so 900 was 2300 Great
Britain pounds uh the EVGA version is apparently
1,200 um and that particular one the payot is basically always sold out so
yeah a little bit cherry pick numbers but it is much much much cheaper than it
used to be which is pretty cool although I feel bad if someone bought it at three
grand yeah I would feel terrible it was
like 2400 Great Britain prown so I think it was more than ,000 American in the US
it was it was three grand MSRP so um
yeah that was pretty rough do we want to
move on to the full body Mouse chair thing uh yeah let's there's not a ton to
talk about the all right this was posted by Tech dreamer on the Forum and I don't
oh my goodness what is the link oh oh it's in the uh it's in the Forum post
okay I'll I'll pull up the video and I'll let you talk about it while sure so
um apparently uh this is a quote from Govert Flint I hope I said that guy's
name right he's the designer of the dynamic chair uh he said Western Society
is so over organized I found it awe that we create Tech that's so efficient that
it takes over physical efforts so we go to fitness centers to create the
movements which is actually a pretty interesting um quote but the chair that
he's created while interesting I think is absolutely redonkulous so you you use
your your your feet to click use your
your legs like full movement M of your legs to be able to click use your hip
movement to scroll and then I'm not even
entirely sure how you move the mouse but as far as I can tell in the video you
like manipulate the mouse with your hands so this this is him I think uh
what left clicking it looks like so his left foot is up in the air so he he's
like I'm I'm yeah it's just ridiculous
how's the video coming along uh it's not okay yeah so it looks like he's left
clicking here could be wrong to what he's exactly doing because it's
ridiculously confusing but when when
when like computer peripherals are created by artists as opposed to
Engineers you end up with Solutions like this yeah yeah so like I I admire his
whole idea where yes we are making certain things maybe a little bit too
efficient so we're having issues with people aren't moving enough and it's cre
yes that's actually a problem but making something that makes using your computer
n impossible is not going to solve the problem now in his defense you haven't
tried the body Mouse n impossible is strong
statement we should get
one we already have not enough space
here as it is really good comment on the line of detectives board which I I
wasn't necessarily going to bring up but I'm going to go try and find it now was like the second or third comment I think
let me see speaking of second comment by Z zet I can imagine this with Counter
Strike you would break every bone in your body in a single
match I'm like yeah exactly like burst
burst firing fire and short burst and then
because of how it's like kind of attached to you you you kicking out like
that you'd have you'd be moving metal with your whole leg the whole time that'
be ridiculous you'd have to be an oper because you there's no way you could
fire something that well but then the same problem with being an oper is you
can't aim that well cuz you'd have to move your scope by being like no look
here that's
terrible ridiculous I don't know it's I
I admire the the idea because sitting for too long is a serious problem um
I've been looking into a whole bunch of different solutions for this for a while
um so is people like Brandon but yeah well he's at a standing desk now and
when we have the space for it I will do
some kind of ergonomic improvements for everyone so we're probably actually the
chair review that comes out this week weend I'm going to look into having
chairs of that caliber for everyone um so all that kind of stuff speaking of
which this is going to be coming in a couple of weeks and I actually didn't
tell anyone that I was going to tease this at all but yeah let's let's talk
about it the decision's pretty much made I talked to our accountant who is my
wife about you know how we're doing and we're we're kind of it's it's borderline
but it's it's time we don't have enough space here so lus Media Group will be
moving we're in Nick's office right now yeah actually in Nick's office because
he had him out we kicked him out of the other one uh because we have too many
people in that room now and it's just it's gotten kind of ridiculous I mean
for those of you who watched our studio tour you'll have seen that our server
room is in a bathroom yes that's because there's literally nowhere else to put it
where it won't be too loud to film it hurts my soul yeah it's it's really bad
so we are going to be doing some kind of a crowdfunding campaign we're going to
put together some really cool stretch goals we're going to put together some
really cool rewards and that's going to be coming probably sometime in the next
couple you guys have ideas for that hit me up on Twitter lukr not this we got to
get this fixed yeah we do maybe maybe maybe a stretch goal will be to get your
Twitter handle fixed on W oh no so yeah
guys stay tuned for that we'd love to have your support um because we're we're
looking at hopefully moving into a space where we can really continue to develop
other channels like Channel superfun I want to add a couple more people which
is part of the reason we need to move because there isn't space for more people here so that we can have the time
to do that I actually have some other ideas for other channels that we want to
launch it's just that we need more resources in order to do it so rather
than looking for you know investment or
whatever else we're going to look to the community to uh and we have some
actually pretty cool ideas um can I
tease some of them uh no let's wait till
the campaign launches let's wait till the campaign launch there's some pretty cool ideas and again
uh if you have ideas let me know and I'll see about implementing them um yeah
we have to we have to do something that's feasible but we're going to try and have as much fun with it as possible
so there you go oh my God I just thought of another idea but I'll keep that
bottled for now okay oh Nick's suggesting that we do
a stretched goal of installing one of those full body uh Stupid
mice oh no no that's not going to be a stretch goal we're not doing that we'll
make Nick us it wrecked all right speaking of things
that we could make Nick use that wouldn't bother him this was posted by
pofu on the Forum and the original Artic keyboard with that thing cnet.com
what onscreen
keyboard little tiny micro movements I have to press this exact key oh man oh
that's terrible all right so let let's move on to low holy DSL poised for
gigabit speed boost this is pretty
exciting cuz DSL does tend to give you better latencies than cable and it's
been Limited in terms of the speeds that they've been able to roll out with
current technology but we could be looking at what is it 2016 yeah TW could see arrive in homes
in 2016 so there'd need to be new hardware on the ISP level there'd need
to be new hardware on the consumer level so youd need a new modem but we could be
looking at up to gigabit speeds through d L service with one large gacha which I
know you were about to find go ahead with the gacha Curve Your Enthusiasm
immediately because to get gigabit speeds you have to be within 50 m of the
sending building which is probably not going to be a thing um at 200 M which is
still pretty rough but it will have a
much much bigger impact than 50 m um is
going to be 600 megabits per second so that's a huge downgrade already
so yeah still a lot better yeah better
than better than nothing why don't we say that much yes and should be a lot
easier for these guys to deploy than fiber so you'll probably see it in areas
that were not planned for fiber yeah which is going to be really cool cuz
it's it's over the phone line so anywhere with a phone line can
theoretically get DSL technology at some kind of a speed so and even if you're
not getting gigabit and even if you're not getting 600 megabites because you're more than 200 met out which is very
likely um it should have some sort of a boost see look 8% remaining I don't know
but then it says 8 hours and 46 minutes
cool probably needs a reboot go Windows
yeah anyways all right so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic here and
then now it says 1 hour and 37 minutes photo maath now you were geeking out
over this oneome also posted by Tech dreamer on the Forum uh the source is
photo math.net so this is basically going to
take needing to keep electron devices
out of exam rooms so hardcore to a whole new level oh my
God you are now going to be checking your phone at the door there's no way
they're going to let you even have it in the bag I bet CU this is insane whatever
basically it it gives you what kind of looks like a QR code reader where
there's just like the The Zone where you have to have the object within and it's
a scanner so and you highlight it over a
uh mathematical equation so say if it's a textbook or whatever and it will solve
it on the phone phone give you the answer and then even give you all the
steps that it had to do to get to that answer so that you would be able to get
100% on the question which is awesome and horrible at the same time how is my
son going to learn anything like think about this you're going to like studying
if you have a studying area it's going to have to be a no phone area like
100% or your son's going to have to actually care about knowledge at all
which is very likely and won't do this um one thing that I could see it for if
you're actually interested in learning things which you probably should be is
to use it to check your answers yep because that's cool and math textbooks
won't have all the steps so if you're but you're right not all of them do and
it it very likely won't for all questions and problem sheets from a
professor might not necessarily have uh
have all the steps in fact most of the professors I ever met were phenomenally
lazy yes so you'd be lucky if you got an answer sheet at all so if you're like
man I can't figure out how to solve this you might be able to do that for one of them get all the steps and be like okay
well if I can manipulate this manipulate this process can the other I can solve
this problem group now yes exactly so hopefully people are going to use it
that way it doesn't work for everything um have what it works for
here so it's not like every math equation in existence uh it's more like
stuff like arithmetic um adding subtracting multiplication only if it
was this simple to point it at like you know for Matt's final theorem or
whatever that un solve thing yeah that would be fantastic so I don't
know arithmetic Expressions so plus minus multiplication division fractions
and decimals powers and roots and simple linear equations I'm actually surprised
that it even got to uh no simple linear equations makes sense so they're
constantly adding um more features but that's what they have so far so as of
right now you're not you're not going to walk into a Calculus class and be like I
got my whole page worth of work um solved so not going to happen right now
but I don't know someone high up at that company has to be a Windows Phone dork
because it's available for iOS and Windows phone so far yeah and not
Android yet Android is coming but it's not not yet which I I found that pretty
surprising as well I think this is just a phenomenally cool app though and I'm
super super impressed um I hope people use it reasonably I hope people don't
use it just to like course through school uh or sorry Coast Coast through
school it's okay I understood I'm sure they understood yeah but I think people
will yeah of course they will and one thing like not to put ideas in people's
heads but one thing I seriously see happening with especially with how many
cell phones people have these days and replacing cell phones and like just having that one that's thrown in the
drawer is that they'll like check their cell phone at the door then have another
one in their pocket which is horrible
yep and when when Google Glass like devices become just looking like glasses
yes and people figure out like I mean okay I'm I'm sure it's a matter of time
before people figure out you know two-way mirror type systems to cover up
LEDs and and lens and like that to make
it just look like glasses I mean and you think about how techsavvy the average ta
would be at a typical University are they going to recognize every model once
Samsung LG HTC Google themselves with a
Nexus device you know hang way or
whatever they all have glasses that look just like glasses how hard is it going
to be and then there was that cool technology that we talked about last
week where um augmented augmented reality was going to be done instead of
with a screen in front of you by projecting an image into your eyes so
when that hits along with all this other stuff I I don't know what they're going
to do there's some interesting things that might be able to happen uh like if photo maath works with different
education institutions maybe they could make it so that if you're on like their
see but that would just be public Wi-Fi okay tell me this tell me
this if the guys who are the math Geeks
already who are going to do math because they're interested in it and they love
it and if those guys are going to do math anyway and those are the ones that
are really advancing mathematics do I need to know how to do
any of this stuff or can I just use an app for my whole
life uh but you have to make sure like that's that's the Mozart thing as well
the the whole the old Mozart question where it it has to be you have to try
everyone right because without someone kind of getting into math a little bit
maybe they're like oh math is stupid whatever I just need to be able to do my taxes which is is actually very
applicable for quite a few people lots of people yes um and that's that's part
of the idea where uh teachers used to be and they probably still do oh well you
won't always carry a calculator in your pocket and nowadays everyone's like L of
course I do always because it's on my phone that's right um this could play
into that in the future and that this is another may maybe they utilize this in
education but then part of higher math is understanding how the fundamentals
work so you can understand how higher end Concepts work so I don't know that's
a question for education I think our education system is terrible right now
so someone should probably figure it out that isn't me but great tweet from
peanuts Revenge photomath will be a great tool for parents to help their
kids with homework yeah so when Mom and Dad understood this Ting bazillion years
ago but and now it's like what now it's like I I could probably barely do long
division the first time around if you put a problem in front of me once you
see it once you'll be fine once I see it once no problem so I could use photomath
to just be like oh crap how do you do that again okay and then you can really
explain it to Junior cuz you probably still know it's just buried in your head
somewhere so if you can remember like oh that's the first three steps okay I got
it yeah yeah it's like sorry first Outside Inside last right like if I
don't remember something like that yeah but it's but it's simple so if you get
that cue you won't be able to remember it and then help your kid out so yeah
that is actually pretty cool I think it's a cool app I think it's a good
thing I just like many good things in life it's going to be really easy to
abuse I hope people don't abuse it they will abuse it um you're a good thing in
my
life your mom can't call me it's all
right so iPhone 6 catches fire in a man's pocket allegedly this was uh
posted on the Forum by Tyron and I okay
now my my BS meter like okay I was about
to say I'm not sure what the liability implications are of us just completely
calling BS on this but my BS meter is
pretty pretty going off the charts here so Arizona man suffers second degree
burns when iPhone 6 bends and catches fire in his pocket he
claims said his new iPhone 6 bent in half and then burst into flames while it
was still in his pocket he was in a penny cab as his family headed to the
football tailgate they noticed some Rick Shaw drivers on the street decided to etc etc etc uh his wife and
seven-year-old son were not thrown out of their seats when the the wagon lost
its balance and that tipped over something something and that's when his leg started to get hot and something
something something so so holes that I started noticing almost immediately one
how is it bent that far if it's in your pocket are you kidding me I think
there's a Still Still photo of it which is probably I can't find it right now
band it should be just above this isn't it so here's here's the picture I don't
know is there still above this I might have scrolled past it oh yeah there it
is okay so unless your leg is broken at that angle I fail to understand how a
phone breaks at that angle in your pocket yeah like that doesn't make any
sense and then like okay so he apparently smashed into the sidebar on
the penny cab thing which is one I think one of those bike so that's where the
story of it getting bent This Way Comes from I guess but then he's like he's
half on half off so he obviously didn't get like crushed there and then the
weight of his uh wife and his son continually pressed and continually bent
it he hit it and then must have been half on half off and then he's like oh
yeah I laid down to pull it out of my pocket if if it's that bent laying down
is not going to help you yeah like at
all that and I mean the whole Bend gate thing I think is grossly exaggerated
it's not that easy to bend this phone was that a 6 plus this is not a 6 Plus
yeah the 6 Plus is much easier but this is just a six this is an iPhone six
that's the same phone as that one like the the the amount that I
believe this is almost non-existent yeah we probably shouldn't even be talking
about this other than just to say it's like poopy yeah I don't know so there we
go we still have Assassin's Creed unity
and all the bull crap that comes with that all right yeah let's talk about
this so this was posted by Mind Tricks On The Forum and the source is blog.
ub.com so it's about as official as it gets and the Assassin's Creed Unity
minimum specs are dumb they are super dumb they are so
dumb that it's just too dumb they're not dumb awesome dum dum
dum okay so get this get this get this okay so processor minimum required
processor is an i52500k or an AMD fx8350 are you
freaking kidding me oh I love that they threw in the Phenom
2940 because that is so much slower than an i5 2500k that it is not even funny
like so much slower oh my God so that's
a minimum requirement and then the recommended requirement is a 3770 now
the funny thing about this is the 3770 supports more threads than an i5
2500k but actually is not faster in any
meaningful way not to mention that they also recommend an
fx8350 when it was a minimum requirement so why did you need to upgrade your
Intel CPU and not your AMD CPU unless
this engine is heavily threaded which I
call complete BS on if we get more than three threads I will be floored yeah I
would be surprised and that I5 has four threads which is fine and for that
matter that phenomx 4 has four threads that are super not super duper fast
minimum system RAM of six gabt that I
maybe I I can see that I can see that helping in some way I don't know that it
should be the minimum um minimums are what are surprising here the recommended
I never really even care what they say for recommended I think the recommended
makes no sense on video card though the minimum makes no sense on video minimum
makes okay so so here's a couple things about the minimum video card spec that
make no sense number one is that the GTX 680 is a very very powerful card and for
that to be the minimum to run the game based on the game AG I've seen so far is
stupid pathetic also the GTX 660 Ti is
only marginally slower than a GTX 680 so
why can't that run it why is 680 the cut
off for the minimum I don't buy it okay and one of sorry I have to clear
up why a large of part of the recommended I don't really care about is
uh what is your recommended base off of especially with 4K being such a big
thing now to be able to run 4K at fairly
High settings at all you usually do need really powerful systems so I'm not super
surprised that that's happening all right so the recommended one is uh sorry
did you just talk about recommended I tuned in okay so the recommended one I'm
okay with that especially because if the point of this is look we're we're
building a game that's going to really really push the hardware
um so we're just going to recommend basically the highest end thing that
exists today and 780 is pretty darn
close I mean it's x% behind 780 Ti and
980 or whatever else but it's pretty much there we're just going to recommend
the highest end thing today and people might even be able to further leverage
the game as time goes on I'm okay with that but having a minimum requirement of
a 680 is ridiculous yeah 50 gigs of space that's becoming part for the
course um and the rest of it really that
crazy except except for the supported video cards at time of release yeah this is this is just stupid this comes into
why the 680 is their minimum because they're supported video cards at time of
release is 680 or better 700 series and
then hd7970 or better which is
effectively one and a half generations of AMD graphics cards because most of
the R9 series is resin yeah just so like
what laptop versions of these cards may work but are not officially supported so
basically the minimum requirement just looks like a pure copout laziness thing
we are just not going to bother to validate this game on any graphics cards
we are going to put the onus on the graphics card makers to ensure that
their cards are compatible with this game going back a couple of generations
cuz let's face it if a GTX 680 runs it a GTX 590 is going to wreck it
so Ubisoft ridiculous just keeps on
diing they cannot stop digging absolutely ridiculous the the 50 GB of
hard drive space I've seen some people freak out about I don't even care about that because that's become a norm and
hard drives are pretty cheap and you should probably be running your games
off of hard drives speaking of keep on digging we actually are planning our
next next t-shirt design so um I guess I
should probably I should probably like open with an application of some sort or
something come on go fast you yeah we
have we have our NE our next our next t-shirt design is Ubisoft
inspired because okay interesting thing while you get that open we were talking
before the show started about how it used to be the hate on origin and ha on
EA yeah hate on Origin hate on EA on all
hate on all that kind of stuff and then uh EA seems to have lately been like
whoa those guys are crazy let's just sit back and just see what happens and they
just stopped doing things no one talks about them cuz they're not freaking out
and ubis SS just throwing dirt around with shovels so I don't know ridiculous
it's just funny how it used to be the hate on EA show and now it's kind of the
hate on Ubisoft show because it's essentially just hate on people that are
doing stupid things when we used to hate on EA I used to talk about how I liked
Ubisoft because I did I liked a lot of the games that they were releasing I liked a lot of the stuff that they were
doing you have a lot of games in your up playay account I was logged into it a
little while ago cuz I was benchmarking with your per with his permission yeah
yeah it's fine um I I I do because I've
generally liked a lot of the games that theyve released and I I it feels it
feels like back then they would solely release games that they felt were solid
good games and that does not seem to be a thing anymore I me you've you've
admitted that the first Assassin's Creed wasn't really anything that special no
but it also seemed like the team on the game was trying extremely hard and they
might be trying extremely hard now as well but that's being cut out of the
picture by someone chopping up their results and then just giving you part of
it and then being like you can kind of get the rest I guess later it's like you
get served a pizza and they're like oh sorry we took a quarter of it and like
left it back there you can get that as well I guess if you give us more money
which wasn't listed original or like if servers were allowed to withhold your
food until they got their tip like here's your burger you can get your
fries once you pay me your tip but you know let let me know how much the tip's
going to be and we'll find out if you're getting your drink and your fries and your
dessert if you buy your drink and then your fries and then your dessert it's
20% more if you buy them all at once it's 20 it's 20% less I'm okay with
bundles they have that it's called a value
meal but they don't have that in AAA
establishments there's no value meal in like a fivar restaurant oh oh at a five
star okay sure because I was going to say like somewhere like Red Robin You
could argue they have a value meal because you can buy fries although you
can't buy a burger without fries but buying a burger with the fries is a
better value than just buying lots of fries especially cuz the fries are
bottomless anyway so if you bought lots of fries at Red Robin you're Basin like
compl opposite all right so here it is design woo so that's going to be on the
front of probably a black shirt and uh we're going to launch this I think W
show next week will have the Teespring campaign up and uh I'm getting one of
those it's going to be one of those kinds of things we're not putting a Ubisoft logo all over it or anything
it's going to be more of an inside joke but I think keep on digging is just kind
of like I don't know it's it's become a thing and you know what if Ubisoft gets
out of the target if they stop doing stupid things and someone else starts
doing things like if still wear the shirt if EA starts taking up the mantle
again maybe we'll keep saying keep on digging for them um currently they're
not or if Microsoft does a bunch of really stupid stuff for a bit then which
is probably going to happen it'll happen at some point yep so yeah it's more
multi-purpose but for now it's it's standing for them all right so this was
posted by amorus amoras something of
pixels anyway original articles from Popular Mechanics and the thread title
on the Forum I have to agree with so much um is I have lost faith in humanity
or something like that officially done with Humanity uh officially done with
Humanity a comic Sands typewriter has been
created so there you go and remember guys this is not as simple as just
putting comic sands on the keys they actually had to create the metal arms
with comic Sands print on the end so that you could the sincerity machine I
hadn't even noticed that before so if you thought the world
needed a comic sand typewriter a go jump in a fire and B There is officially a
typewriter for you you know what the funny thing is is I'm making fun of comic Sands and jumping a fire and all
that I used nothing but comic Sands pink bold italicized for the entire time that
MSN Messenger existed I know yep oh yeah
I used to chat with you on MSN y yep fuchsia sorry fuchsia comic Sands why
did they take MSN away I love MSN it should come speaking of things that
Skype is inferior in so so many different ways the entire internet has
blown up over Smash Bros for wi U
Nintendo apparently wants to sell 100
bazillion copies of this game because they are making it look freaking amazing
y a player smash is the headline but honestly there are there are a dozen
other features they did what was it like a 15minute video with 50 features of
Smash Wii U that are just all of which
are good and and many of which are just
blowing the minds of the entire internet
so stok so you want to do some do you want to do some highlights here uh there
there's a bunch of different things if you can use your uh DS as a controller
we already knew that but if you bring your character over that you created on
your DS side it brings everything with it which is actually really cool and not
just you can use your DS as a controller you can use pretty much any controller
you want unless you're like want to use a Sega Genesis controller for some
reason like GameCube Classic Controller weote nunchuck Wii U controller 2DS like
all of the different controllers I think it's 3DS only isn't it 2DS or 3DS I um
yeah all all of the different Pro controllers nunchuck normal weote
absolutely bananas things um there's eight player smash Seven Player smash
whatever you want to do four player online yeah only fourer online and
certain Maps won't be playable online as well because they have these massive
Maps now for eight player smash which I'm actually super excited for that
looks super cool yeah they have maps with two planes yeah yeah yeah so
there's the foreground and the background they have um what is it even
called it's like I don't remember exactly it's called but it looks like a tabletop mode and you play this kind of
board game and whenever your your your characters on the board run into each
other it creates a smash battle and while you're going around the board game
you collect different characters and stuff and in the final battle your stock
count so your lives is based on how many what what characters you have so when
you die you just sort out which is actually super cool I'm excited to play
that if you have a bunch of people over that could actually be a lot of fun which is exactly why I like Nintendo and
uh oh oh yeah did I even mention already 1080p 60
FPS so epic so
epic yeah that needed more than one of
those I did it so many times I'm blurry
that's how that's how owned everyone else got by Nintendo with uh Super Smash
and there was a ton of other really cool anoun as well yeah you guys should
definitely check out the video it is worthwhile because it looks fantastic
Team battles with up to four teams that is going to be bananas I mean
it's going to be like like Risk alliances like friend breaking stuff but
but Smash Brothers one thing that I really liked was just how they announced
the eight player smash cuz they're like five people so now if you're the fifth
wheel it's fine also by the way six people also by the way seven eight
people people it's like oh my God keep on blowing my mind over and over again
it's like watching Sesame Streets like
five six
players yeah love it pretty stoked all right that's pretty much it guys thank
you for two oh oh uh did you want to do the system builds of the week that I
missed for two week do system builds in the week that you missed for two weeks
in a row but the link that was added to the dock totally doesn't work at all
okay next week so I don't know what to do about this I was not
we're supposed to draw the um the Z 980
Zotac 980 winner yeah let's do that that's fun if someone can figure out how
to get me those that would be great the link in
the doc doesn't work at all and I don't have an email from it so can't do
anything about um I have this is this does this look right that is a thing we
can preferably use the Forum but if the Forum is not working we can use this
okay let's just let's just use this then does that work yeah so what this is is
Ghost created a script which works kind
of in Junction with all of the scripts
that the mod team have created and all of that awesomeness which we are
removing duplicated posts from the thread and then this script goes through
and indexes all of them so you can find the end of it and then do a random
between one and the last entry on there and then if you just contrl f for that
number you'll have your winner let's do this thing then so
1,200 12,300 yeah that's okay 12,3 154
entries okay and let's go ahead and share my screen so we're going to move
this so you guys can actually see it this time
and oh in the meantime we want you guys to think about this and start hitting up
at lukor LFR on Twitter with some
suggestions because we are doing a $130 motherboard Roundup spectacular this is
going to be a multi-part video and we're not going to be looking at performance
so put that out of your mind that's specifically what we're not looking for
we're not looking for that overclocking we might briefly validate that they all
kind of get to the same level but they all do that anyway we're not going to be looking at overclocking we're not going
to be looking at performance we're going to be looking at usability so some examples would be
things like how fast are their download servers when you're looking for your new
drivers when you build your rig um examples like for USB BIOS updates how
easy is the process how's compatibility of the back USB ports with a variety of
USB drives when you're reading off of it in order to flash your BIOS we're going
to be looking for how good is the experience of this motherboard because
really that's what I think is more important than performance these days
where they're all pretty darn similar one thing I even want to look into is
like how many clicks to do certain different things right like just how
efficient is it to use how efficient is the BIOS to navigate great example if
you need to change to RAID Mode on your
SATA controller or whatever else like I think we we won't look at it that
granularly when we actually do the video but that's what the evaluation will be
based on is how navigable is the thing all right so the winner is
35 let's go ahead over to 315
3015 no I want the other one 3015 there it is Barry Preston Slade
Jr so let's go ahead and find Barry
Preston Slade Jr on the Forum the lucky winner
which of course has to be claimed through the Forum so that we can
actually contact you sorry please be working yay okay this is probably not
going to work probably not going to work probably
not going to work at all oh yeah that you're probably going to have to use your other View and you're not going to
want to look right now because oh you're not streaming okay you're yeah yeah don't worry it's all good it's all good
I'm okay everything is okay oh here here here here here there we
go Boop
and let's just go ahead and have a
look there you go oh hey everyone always
complains when it's a one poost wonder who wins this time it is a 14 poost
wonder who actually has like his profile
filled out and like that's was last
active today awesome so there you go we managed to pick a winner who is someone
who even though they don't post a lot the last active thing I think matters
almost more than because that's sh uh CU I don't honestly
if you post it all if you're on the for and you're reading everything that's super cool too everything's cool I mean
posting is great because helping other people is like what it's all about but
being someone who was on The Forum two hours ago so is an active Forum member
even if maybe not the most active contributor I think is super cool yeah
me too so we're going to push build logs to oh did you find them got it so
according to you now well hold on no it's okay you just I don't have a viewer
installed according to you are you sure you don't have PowerPoint on that I yep
I checked well I didn't check are you sure can you double
check yeah you do not all righty then I
will deal with it it was forwarded to you now so okay
should have that my download speeds are terrible the access point is too far
away um although actually I have I have something interesting to tell you yeah
no I saw that I was super stoked so
this is an eight no actually this is a
$1,000 access point yeah this is the
r700 this is their highest access point know I never looked into how much it
costs cuz I didn't want to know it is a $1,000 access point and I am going to be
having a we're going to be looking at a series of of videos about this and the
way that we're going to be approaching this this is an Enterprise grade this is like for airports Rus is badass Ruckus
is some serious stuff so the way that
we're going to be looking at this Ruckus gear
is high-end very high-end enthusiasts
don't blink twice about spending $700 on a graphics card some of them will even
spend that much times three and they'll buy three graphics cards high-end
wireless equipment is something that you can actually get multiple Generations
out of the same way that you can with something like a monitor especially now
that development has slowed down so much on it and if you were to look at it and
go okay I'm instead of investing in three-way SLI I'm going to skip a
generation I'm going to put a controller and a couple of really high-end access
points in my house I want to look at what the benefit will actually be so
I'll be taking a real world scenario in this case a house and I will be putting
a controller and two of these access points in it and having a look at how it
compares to one Central AP the way that most people do it today with just your
router access point combo unit I'm going to be looking at it compared to ubiquity
because I have those AC access points that were doing really well for me at
first but now I'm having actually a lot of problems with I had to R both of my
first ones yeah um and then we're going
to move to Ruckus and we're going to see what range looks like throughout the
house with really demanding applications things like NVIDIA game stream and have
a look at if it really makes a difference and if something like that is
is worthwhile so that's that's going to be a really interesting video and at the
same time I'm going to do it in my house because that way I can justify upgrading
to cat 6 all over my house at the same time so this is his Rose to jack a
$1,000 access point I could well I could
I could Mount any I could Mount anything to that to that access out there
ridiculous I can promise I can promise this I can promise when when we move we
will get some kind of managed multiple access point system at the new place we
will need one at the new place we will need one at the new place so what was I
what was I talking about now we're going build logs so you bu oh I should have
been downloading that that was my whole con I thought you were actually that's
unfortunate oh well on uh I think there's just one button download that
downloads it in a zip that's okay I can
I can un it for you no I don't know if that's cute or dirty
oh it's maybe both we need we need a shirt for cute
and dirty too yeah cute and dirty and it should be like a CPU with like thermal
compound yes oh that's
awesome that's kind of funny that's actually pretty good I'm I'm dirty with
like a CPU that hasn't been cleaned off I kind of like that we should probably
do that all right I'll fire to Nick well
that's don't wor sure thank you wow I can't believe uh how many more people
watch the show when you're around we peaked at like 5500 viewers today when
with you gone I think we peaked at around 4500 so you're officially still
justifiable as a l Media Group Employee that was close good job
the thing about the thing about EMP employees or like team members any team
member me included is like the real test
is not what they do when they're around it's what happens when they're not it's
how hard it is to compensate when they're not around how valuable is that
person well if I just about die when they're gone for a week then I guess
they should probably still work here my metric was when you guys missed
an upload I was like whoa when you were
gone yeah yeah no we didn't miss a day I thought you did no I was pretty sure you
did no what we did was we started delaying the release till 4 hours Y no
we didn't miss one that schedule just got bumped 4 hours and we could easily
pull it in four hours everything is okay I thought you guys missed a video I was
like okay that hasn't happened in like
what that made no sense the one time that happened was um something where we
were preparing content for a trip and uh
that product ended up being embargoed and we didn't know yeah and so that
didn't really count my opion that sort of didn't count even though we did
officially miss an upload day but then we do event coverage where we do multiples in a day so we we're averaging
more than one a day for over three years yeah okay I am having a little trouble
understanding why this is multiple power
you should only actually need two I think what they've been doing CU that we
were wondering about this last time but if I remember correctly what they're
doing is they send the whole file and they send just the presentation versions
okay so you can change things if you want or you can just use the what should
be the smaller ones so it's two and three is what you're looking for not
there's no one so you need two and you need three okay all right well here's
the first one I've officially figured this out now oh hold on let me make sure
whatever's in the background here is not something that needs to not be in the
background of our videos all right here we go Linus's screen share no it doesn't
look like the included project rainon
who won which one so I don't think it says who uh this was voted through I
don't know if this is voted for uh by the mods or if this was voted by the
community okay well we can that they definitely won a uh a build of the month
award okay so pretty highend specs wow that's kind of badass kingping
classified that's sick I love these Hardware shots and it's like here's all
the stuff that I'm going to put into one very small place
really like this these SSD mounts look
really Cable Management on the back oh that looks good inside looks really good
here though you know what we uh we're actually going to look into I I really
like this whole straight line thing but what I don't really like is having to
use fittings for it like like this having to use angled fittings and soft
tubing to achieve it so we'll be looking into doing um some kind of a build log
or build guide with hard tubing sometime
in the near future I shouldn't say near future sometime in the future that will
happen cuz oil cooled machine is happening first that is happening we
have started that yeah I wasn't sure if I could say that or not we have started that um and done actually a lot of it
yep yeah so that's going to be freaking awesome so here's our second one this
laptop's doing some funky stuff right now but no don't worry about it we're good okay so R OG Maximus 6 Extreme GTX
780 SLI Le Corsair sp120 quiet Edition
fans and lots of oh wow
whoa wow that case that is sick I like it I
almost like the raw more than the black me too
actually mind you maybe
not okay this one's nice I'm assuming
what happened was the last one was voted for by the mods and this one was voted
for by the community community really likes them them super clean them super
perfect builds wow look at this
Reservoir I love it it looks like a
freaking reactor thing like stasis
module plumbed upness that's great
absolutely love it what a great build all right so thanks for tuning in
to the W show guys we'll see you again next week same bat Time same bat Channel
peace out bye definitely doing an Afterparty this
week and this some funky stuff happening just so you guys
know dang it what's going on oh yeah you
oh yeah oh that's the one with no sound well screw it we maybe if I clinch hard
enough nope I'm dead we ready to do
this okay we were a little late on the sound effect but whatever you guys get
the point ear ear ear all right thanks for watching see you next week we're
