1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,240
oh all right it's when show time again

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,519
here we got to get our spacing right here there we go

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,360
perfect oh man

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:16,160
you always push me away from the mic so you're way louder than me no i'm way

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,760
louder than you because i'm way louder than you i pushed you away from the mic because i'm the one who's actually you

6
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:25,760
know looking at the show and okay okay here i think we look symmetrical

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,199
you know what here just a second hold on let me let me let me explain let me let

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,399
me explain something something here let's go ahead we'll we'll give you guys some screen capture

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:39,280
to look at here instead of james there you go okay so uh oh that that really

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:45,040
doesn't work very well what i'm doing right now okay that's not really the point the point is look at the distance

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,000
here see this distance not enough distance you gotta

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,000
there

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:56,960
see how much there wasn't there was a no mansplaining rule on the WAN Show

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,320
no no you're allowed to land splain that's we've been through this so we've

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,439
got a lot of great topics for you guys today topic number one where is luke

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,640
which is i'm sure the only one that you actually care about at this point because this freaking can you take those

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:17,680
off i'm not taking them off oh you have to take them off i feel like jc denton

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,360
he's not using the laser okay so

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,640
ed can you can you came up for us for a second here can you just show them what

20
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:26,320
the heck is going on such that james figures he needs wow

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,560
thank you i'm sure glad i had a professional camera operator do that

22
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,400
that's much appreciated so that right there look at that he knows how to use

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,600
the focus ring and everything i'm holding it

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,840
so that right there is our new laser cutter and these no no no you can't wear them

25
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:52,000
the whole show let me tell you the whole the whole sunglasses during a tech video

26
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:52,880
podcast thing has been done no one likes

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,479
it my vision is augmented have you even played deus ex this is

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,880
sick this is harsh i have played hold on a

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,119
second which one is uh specific wavelengths like

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,280
yeah it cuts out all the bs and leaves you with awesome

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,959
no can you no no can i at least just continually put

32
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,800
them on like periodically throughout the show you can only keep them on for a

33
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,040
maximum of 30 seconds at a time deal

34
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,720
okay and and they have a 10 minute cooldown

35
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:31,040
10 minute cooldown by the way yes i have played deus ex

36
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,800
um but i only played the widely regarded as kind of crap sequel invisible

37
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,400
invisible war i actually enjoyed it having not played

38
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,840
the original and never playing one since i i actually really enjoyed it

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,920
so i said yeah do you really really not want to miss uh

40
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,319
yeah i really don't want to miss badminton this guy's trying to send me on a freaking also you didn't center our

41
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,879
camera way to go ed or did he no not quite it needs to go a

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,319
little bit more towards james thank you he's trying to send me on a business

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,400
trip during my badminton night i get one night a week one night a week when i get

44
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:10,440
to go out and do something fun and this guy wants to send me to where where are

45
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,240
you trying to send me la yeah

46
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,720
one syllable cities

47
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,959
that's two syllables la oh

48
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:30,720
all right so we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today um

49
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,599
Gigabyte responded via email i hope i hope i can talk about this i think it

50
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,519
was kind of a it was kind of a statement um so they responded via email to my

51
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,280
um question about exactly what the heck is going on with motherboard or with

52
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,400
coffee lake performance from motherboard to motherboard and i've also heard from

53
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,879
ASUS so we'll be talking a little bit about that um activision has patented

54
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:59,200
a technique for social engineering

55
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,840
micro transactions in games i love it

56
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,200
it's way more evil than it sounds

57
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,200
and it sounds pretty damn evil

58
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,360
so that should give you some idea what else we got

59
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:18,479
oh i can talk now yeah yeah yeah ah reportedly apple has cut down

60
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:24,160
production of the iphone 8 for november and december buy a large margin cut down

61
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:29,440
cut got cut axed and a pixel 2 xl color issue that Linus

62
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,960
may or may not have experienced i actually want to know

63
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,560
we'll get there you know what i haven't okay yeah you know why don't we roll the intro we'll talk about it later we'll

64
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:43,560
talk about it later wancho and we'll also do that first topic i

65
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:43,560
promised where is luke

66
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,600
i'm wearing the sunglasses now with the 30 seconds doesn't count until the intro hey you have one fan

67
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,919
kavor x95 likes you lots of people like

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,320
me yeah let's not get ahead of ourselves you have one pen that's not true oh do

69
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:06,080
you want me to send you screenshots uh dar bullets james just know

70
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,560
uh-huh that guy doesn't count that's a child uh die wolf laust where

71
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:14,720
is luke um that's because he's pleasantly

72
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,639
surprised to see me uh zen walrus says you're sick and i think he means like

73
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,199
disgusting not like good nope that's both those are both good to

74
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,199
me those are both good to you

75
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,759
sponsors i forgot we were still on the intro the

76
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,120
intro screen there i don't know how ed managed how hard is

77
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,320
this okay this much frame

78
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:42,080
it's like there's like this much extra i i always tell the camera people i'm like

79
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,919
can you center the ARM in the frame and they're like yes and then they don't do

80
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,759
it i think they're just messing with me i think at this point people are

81
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:53,759
actually just screwing with me when they do things wrong um

82
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,960
all right so why don't we get into coffee like performance first have you have you heard about this have you seen

83
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,880
this yes i read it so it comes down to a feature yeah that is enabled by default

84
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:08,160
on some boards but not enabled by default on others yep so uh ASUS

85
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,800
statement was actually i'm gonna have a quick look at my email here and make

86
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,680
sure that this is on the record um

87
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,919
because it's one of those frustrating things where sometimes we actually

88
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:26,800
we actually know more than we can say because industry

89
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,360
contacts don't want to get themselves in trouble mind you there's a pretty funny

90
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,759
story actually about ASUS and being sort of on the record when you

91
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:39,360
thought you weren't on the record no no no no put them on no no put them on i'm

92
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:42,319
not going to i'm going to put them here uh being on the record when you didn't

93
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:48,560
realize you're on the record and saying something that kind of threw Intel under the bus we'll get to that later but um

94
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,680
first up yes i actually asked do you guys have an official statement on the

95
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,000
whole auto overclocking thing so the whole discrepancy between

96
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,400
it was especially visible in heavily multi-threaded tests like cinebench

97
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,960
between you know one reviewer's results with coffee lake and in others where

98
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,960
people were getting up to like 300 point differences in cinebench seems to have

99
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:15,360
come down to some motherboard manufacturers most notably ASUS enabling

100
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,199
a feature by default on their boards

101
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,759
that effectively overclocks the CPU

102
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:27,440
right out of the box running all of the cores at the maximum turbo rather than

103
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:32,479
just one or two or however many were supposed to be enabled at that

104
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,560
particular speed so i asked and this is

105
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:37,680
my subject line so i think i've absolved myself of any responsibility for this

106
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,240
being something that can't go out to the public for an official statement from

107
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:46,160
ASUS on the whole auto overclocking thing uh but i actually you know what i should

108
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,319
probably talk about gigabytes statement first so they proactively sent this to

109
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:55,280
me and they're basically just like good luck no no i can read this they're

110
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,720
basically just like hey i uh just watched your rant show

111
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:02,639
that's that's cool Gigabyte watches the lan show like you guys are the lan show

112
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:06,560
you guys make the news i'm just like blah blah blah like this about it um

113
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:10,400
just wanted to comment on the variants and scores there's been some discussion

114
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,160
over Intel turbo policy and enhanced multi-core performance i'm sure you are

115
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:18,639
aware this is a feature that pegs all cores at the max turbo frequency so in

116
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,400
the case of the 8700k this is 4.7 gigahertz across all cores

117
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,479
now something that's really happened over the last couple of generations of

118
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:32,479
Intel's turbo boost technology is that the difference between base clock and

119
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:33,760
max turbo clock has increased a lot so

120
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:37,839
it used to be that if you had a multi-core enhancement feature and you

121
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:41,200
just boosted everything it was just a little bit and the reason they've done

122
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,200
that is so they can get higher efficiency better battery life stuff

123
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,240
higher efficiency cpus overall yeah basically so the idea is that Intel's

124
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,600
going okay well here's what we're comfortable rating it for when all the cores are operating

125
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,560
and we want to tune it better and better and better

126
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:00,959
for lightly threaded workloads so you can get more performance out of just

127
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:05,760
like a game that only utilizes one or two cores or any other single threaded

128
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:10,480
application so you can but they wouldn't have rated the CPU for

129
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:14,720
4.7 gigahertz on all the cores at the thermal and at the power consumption

130
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,160
targets that they have so there's going to be a stability issue

131
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,120
there and that's what this uh person from Gigabyte is hinting at yeah the

132
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:28,480
reason they don't don't put it on by default there's potential for a stability issue because

133
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,120
it is in effect overclocking

134
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:36,480
and it produces more heat and so this is why our 8700k review had our chip

135
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,519
consuming a lot of power compared to what we might have expected and we

136
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,279
probably should have investigated that further so we were using an ASUS board

137
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:48,959
we were using an ASUS board so we've typically used ASUS boards for our

138
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:51,600
launch coverage of any new CPU for

139
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:54,880
i don't know the last five five or so CPU launches um

140
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:05,760
see how he drinks water to buy himself time um i drink ASUS water but

141
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:09,920
the reality of it is that we've found it has really more to do with the

142
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,760
pre-review support for us uh the fact that we can email anytime night or day

143
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,240
and we're getting a response within like 20 minutes um and that has really made

144
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:23,760
our lives a lot easier when we're trying to iron out what are often

145
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,880
bugs with the CPU with the RAM with the

146
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:31,519
board being able to get new BIOS's that address these or get answers when there

147
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,399
is no BIOS to address it helps us out a lot and that's the main reason that

148
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,160
we've been doing that um so

149
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,880
we had all we were running the board at default which we assumed was kind of

150
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,399
okay so here's here's my response from

151
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,519
from ASUS well um we've been doing it that way for

152
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:53,839
a few years so they're basically saying like hey this isn't really anything new

153
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:56,640
um so i really don't know what there is to say

154
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:00,880
um we the motherboard makers in general this

155
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:06,959
is kind of the statement we get slammed for enabling it then we all disable it then we get

156
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,560
slammed for not doing it because it's kind of free performance and kind of

157
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,880
within spec then we place warnings on enabling it

158
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:20,720
and that gets ignored so i guess now we're back to not enabling

159
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,000
it with some new BIOS updates next week

160
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,680
do you have an opinion on whether or not they should enable it um i'm standing

161
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,000
here i think you should have it off by default it's still a feature that's

162
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:35,120
included it is just a switch you turn on in the BIOS so it's easy to do

163
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:38,079
if people as long as people know about it that you're not losing out on that

164
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,760
free performance you still have it available to you if you want it but how

165
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,320
would people know about it i would argue that the average user even the average

166
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,000
user who builds their own computer isn't going to touch a feature called

167
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,680
multi-core enhancement sounds pretty sweet to me yeah it sounds

168
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,399
pretty sweet but there's also like a lot of stuff within a BIOS that might seem

169
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:02,160
sweet on the surface but you turn it on and your computer doesn't boot anymore

170
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,560
until you you know because remember you're a novice user you go into your

171
00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:12,560
manual you figure out what the hella cmos reset is you go find that stupid

172
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,680
button or header and you you know 15 minutes 30 minutes later you got your

173
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:21,120
computer back on you kind of go oh i'm not going to touch any of that stuff anymore it would come down to marketing

174
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,440
but you can't market something that's just

175
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:29,120
um i mean yeah i guess you kind of you can but they don't want you using

176
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:33,600
that anyway like if you're ASUS or Gigabyte or MSI they've all got over

177
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:37,360
auto overclocking tools that are much more sophisticated than that built into

178
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,399
their boards that are like turning up the speed testing it to make sure it's

179
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,720
okay turning it up some more testing it again and they want you using that stuff

180
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:49,600
so how do those features reconcile with this feature if you have them both on

181
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,519
um it's a good question truthfully haven't played around with it a whole

182
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:57,760
lot nah so honestly i don't really plan to because

183
00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:01,440
i don't really personally recommend either of them as the most optimal way

184
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:06,160
to overclock i still believe that doing it manually yourself is the best way to

185
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:09,600
overclock so um

186
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,760
yeah apparently we're slightly out of focus

187
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,160
i i just i don't even i don't even know i don't even know why we have camera

188
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:21,519
people anymore um speaking of which i need a camera person

189
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:26,720
right now oh alex is taking the wheel oh wow

190
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,279
taking wow the focus wheel well hey actually that's not bad damn girl

191
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:35,120
that's that's not you should have seen the celie you just

192
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:39,040
did i can't do it but he did that okay come show them that weird thing that you

193
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,760
do give us the celly it weirds me out

194
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,720
i like that you only do it twice you can do it more but it gets weird

195
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,880
after that all right are we on to the next one uh yeah let's

196
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:57,120
move on to the next topic here um activation i don't want to do that topic

197
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,160
oh i do though yeah we'll do that topic all right all right all right we'll talk

198
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,720
about it so this was originally posted by wm groom ak on the forum the original

199
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,720
article here is actually from rolling stone of all publications well there was

200
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:12,399
a more original one but it the site had that slideshow format so i wasn't

201
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,680
messing with that okay so james

202
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:21,199
how on a scale of one to aids plus cancer

203
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,920
plus leprosy where would you put

204
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,959
activism activision's research into

205
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,279
using matchmaking tricks so you guys know

206
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:36,160
in-game matchmaking like pairing one party with another using in-game

207
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:40,399
matchmaking tricks to sell in-game items

208
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:44,160
if i work there if i'm an executive or a shareholder

209
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:48,399
this is awesome do you own shares so sick in activation no i don't okay so

210
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,959
then how do you feel about it from a gaming perspective

211
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:57,600
it's all over folks throw in the towel games suck from now on

212
00:14:55,279 --> 00:15:01,600
this is a brutal direction hold on there is some good news they've actually

213
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:06,000
patented the technique so not all games suck hopefully no one else can do this

214
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,519
just all the huge major titles from this giant company

215
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:14,160
so okay let's get into this activision was granted a patent this month for a

216
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:19,279
system it uses to influence players in multiplayer games to purchase game items

217
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:22,399
through micro transactions so the system uses

218
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:25,760
it alters the matchmaking process so typically players are put into games

219
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:30,240
together based on a wide variety of factors including skill level internet

220
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:35,600
latency and your availability of friends the way it should be you should be

221
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,079
skilled so that everyone's playing a fun

222
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,680
round of you know counter go source or whatever it is that

223
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,959
the kids are playing these days right but now they've added this runecraft

224
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,320
extra vector yeah this extra vector of mark into the matchmaking process that

225
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,360
basically tries to get you in the game with people who have bought stuff that

226
00:15:53,839 --> 00:16:00,240
you haven't bought yet so that psychologically you kind of see them

227
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:04,320
using it and you want to buy it and it also so the the

228
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:08,560
the article also describes part of the technique being to take inexperienced

229
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:14,079
players and intentionally put them in close

230
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,800
proximity to players who are good at a

231
00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:21,519
skill that they aspire to be good at and who have an item that appears to be

232
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:26,959
related to that skill so let's say that a a really skilled player has like a

233
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,279
great sniper rifle for example

234
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:33,120
um then they're gonna they're gonna pair this player who

235
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,560
and you can you can tell so much about people from the way that they game

236
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:40,639
actually well i mean you can tell a lot about how how they want a game anyway so

237
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,720
someone's like always playing sniper classes but sucks

238
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:48,480
you can tell i don't even think it's skill level aspire to be a sniper no no

239
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,639
well there's that too there's there's multiple aspects of it right so they

240
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:56,480
they'll take like an unskilled sniper who wants to be good at sniping they'll

241
00:16:54,959 --> 00:17:01,199
put them near a good sniper who has great equipment

242
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,600
like hat of plus one that they've said

243
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,799
or whatever premium stuff that they paid for that they paid for

244
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:11,600
and kind of watch

245
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,559
right and then continually retool it and re-optimize

246
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:19,120
to get more people buying microtransactions if my

247
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:23,679
children ever pay for an in-game item

248
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:28,720
i'm cutting them off they're out of the will they're gonna be out dude they're out of the will that's gonna happen

249
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:32,640
really soon you guys heard it here first out of the will can i get in there

250
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:37,520
because digital like in-game items

251
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,960
i don't know see we're old school we can be kind of cool we used to just buy a

252
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,320
game and have the whole game then expansion packs came out and that was

253
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:49,520
just bonus and awesome then it all went to and now it's poo

254
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:53,760
dlc is just like how you get the whole game okay hold on hold on so

255
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,440
what i realized when i was talking about cutting my kids out of the will

256
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:01,679
is that i i think i've actually bought digital

257
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,360
items before um they don't know i know i know so they

258
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,960
won't be cut out of the will but but but if they spend too much on them

259
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:18,880
what's too much then they're cut out of the well that can be written in the will too much is yeah too much is um you know

260
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,320
i think i think more than um

261
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,200
you know what that is a really good straw poll question

262
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,480
once okay so i wanna i wanna frame this in a pretty specific manner because

263
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:33,200
there's a couple of different ways you can define too much like

264
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,640
i would take a free-to-play game where the in-game items are purely

265
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,760
cosmetic and it's not a pay-to-win

266
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:44,799
and i would kind of look at it and i'd go you know what buying a skin or two or

267
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:48,400
a character here and there to support the developer who's running a

268
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,799
free-to-play game but has a lot of costs associated with it big time probably

269
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:59,360
okay but if we're talking triple a title like

270
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:02,320
we're talking like a 69.99 oh yeah 79.99

271
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:06,799
aaa title or or worse yet like a collector's edition that came in a tin

272
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,840
so you've like already spent 130 150 bucks on this thing

273
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,400
and you can't even put the master chief helmet on because it's actually mini

274
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:19,440
right and you run out and you blow like another 50 bucks 100 bucks on it i think

275
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,160
that is totally different so i want to create a specific scenario

276
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:28,880
for you guys because we're talking activision blizzard here so we are not

277
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:34,000
talking about free to play games okay you pay for the game

278
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,520
um so so let's say let's say a 50 game

279
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,400
just for the sake of argument okay i know that's almost nothing is 50 bucks anymore it's

280
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:45,600
either more because it's aaa or it's like 20 30 bucks because it's indie but let's

281
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:50,400
say 50 game acceptable amount to spend on micro

282
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,080
transactions i think you should attach a time frame here

283
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:58,720
because if i'm playing wow for like six years and i spend 300

284
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,880
whatever but if this is a period of six months or something like that okay

285
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,880
yeah that's fair per year first year okay let's do per year okay so first i i

286
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,760
for you hardcores out there i'm putting in the zero dollar option okay don't

287
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:17,919
worry i'm putting in the zero dollar option hardcores or cheapskates

288
00:20:13,919 --> 00:20:17,919
okay so i've got uh

289
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,960
okay while you set that up i want to talk about another thing that this algorithm does that's uh this even just

290
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:28,480
takes it to the next level once you do make an in-game purchase so

291
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:33,120
they put you in a match with the expert sniper uh you were totally attracted to it you

292
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:38,159
ended up buying this sniper rifle once you made that purchase they're then

293
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:42,000
going to take actions that make you feel good about that purchase they don't want

294
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,400
you to regret the purchase so on your next match they're going to put you in a

295
00:20:43,919 --> 00:20:49,039
game where you're you're not in a close quarters match you're going to be put in

296
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:54,159
a game where that purchase is advantageous they're going to put you in blood gulch or whatever a sniper

297
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,919
friendly match so you can actually when's the last time you played that's

298
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,919
old school man people like the show i don't even like the old school they like

299
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:06,159
the throwbacks i know what it is hell yeah which means it's old school

300
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,720
that's a classic blood gulch they made that they made that map four different

301
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:14,799
times it's in every game every halo game okay anyway they're going to put you in

302
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:21,919
blood into a map where twitch chat is flipping out to blood gulch they love it

303
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:21,919
wow it's the last online halo game

304
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:29,039
okay okay go go go go go fire james fire james okay that guy is too young to know

305
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:34,240
what blood gulch is you should be getting an xbox on ebay just so you can

306
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:39,840
play it even if you weren't born yet and we need a Linus tech tips halo one

307
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,200
server booyah agreed that'd be sweet okay

308
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,880
do you guys you guys would be down i'm like still playing it

309
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,720
okay i'm not so old school that i am advocating using like the original fatty

310
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:55,679
controller that controller sucked you're allowed to use the x controller shill

311
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:59,760
gulch shield you know halo 1 is still like thirty

312
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:02,960
dollars gulch tip you can still buy it halo one customization is thirty dollars

313
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,919
it's like the first game that i've toured in forever because i was like i'm not paying thirty dollars for this it's

314
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:13,440
terrible terrible um okay all right all right i'll i'ma

315
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:16,559
let you finish i'ma let you finish but basically the thing that sucks about

316
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:21,039
this is that you can tell from the language and the patent that this is not

317
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,480
just going to be affecting in-game purchases like skins and aesthetic

318
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:27,760
things yeah the language talks about weapons and that just means that the

319
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:32,080
developers are going to have a monetary incentive to make it play to win so to

320
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:37,200
me that this looks like this is the direction we're all going the thing about this kind of play-to-win is it's

321
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:42,720
like a sicker more insidious play to win because

322
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:47,520
instead of it being okay instead of it being or did i say play to win pay to

323
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,240
win instead of me being able to pay more

324
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:54,960
to just have better crap than you and walk in and stomp you

325
00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:58,640
i have to lose to you hold on it'll be it'll be pay more

326
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:04,559
and get a fakeo ego boost because they're

327
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:07,760
just gonna pair you with crappier players

328
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,200
i can imagine that when they first roll this out it would trick you when they

329
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:16,240
first roll this out you're gonna be on the team you're gonna be on the same team as the guy with the awesome gun but

330
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:20,799
then they're gonna find out that it's actually more effective if you're on the opposite team and you just get lit up by

331
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,760
this guy with the awesome gun and you're tired of getting so pwned that

332
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:29,520
that you go and buy the gun yourself and then you get to the awesome feeling of

333
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:33,840
wrecking noobs i mean at what point do they then take it a step further and

334
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:38,799
they start actually fooling you into thinking you're playing against people

335
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,880
you're not like what if they could use

336
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:46,640
like a neural network to figure out which people in game you actually know

337
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:50,240
and which people you don't so they could have you playing against the guy you're

338
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,240
playing against the guy who's ripping you apart with a sniper rifle from the

339
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:58,799
other side of the map okay um or the guy that like literally gets

340
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,440
out of the banshee and like manages to drop it on you every time oh

341
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,880
terrible it's all halo all the time it's all halo all the time from now on okay

342
00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:09,840
um and then in your next game they just

343
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,919
like overlay that person's real avatar and

344
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:19,520
real on-screen name with like this guy and you like destroy him now that you bought your new gun

345
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:24,159
do you think they could get that evil why not

346
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:28,480
i mean it's just an it's just a digital identity that it act is actually

347
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,520
ultimately pretty meaningless as far as it goes if they take two randoms who

348
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,720
don't know each other they just sprinkle bots in

349
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:38,640
just sprinkle super advanced bots and that just are just pimped out swagged

350
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,960
out they got the the guns are shooting hot pink bullets

351
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:48,000
is this where we're going holy crap actually this leads us pretty

352
00:24:45,919 --> 00:24:51,039
squarely into another topic we have does it all right yes

353
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:56,960
yes it does speaking of ai that's just so killer it

354
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,520
can wreck you every time

355
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:05,039
remember alphago the deep neural neck net that managed to

356
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:11,440
swamp all the world's top alpha or top go players in the last year uh so this

357
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:11,440
is uh from gizmodo here there you go

358
00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:18,080
all right tell me about it okay so alphago the first artificial

359
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:24,240
intelligence to defeat a grand master at the game go just got a major upgrade in

360
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:27,039
a tournament that pitted ai versus ai

361
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:31,840
the regular alphago got completely completely wrecked 100 games to zero by

362
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:35,360
the new version of alphago called alphago zero

363
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:40,000
why did they call it alphago zero if it gets 100 and not zero

364
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:44,880
because it's singularity baby how is zero singular what do you know

365
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:48,080
what the singularity is yeah yeah it's like

366
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,919
converging to zero i'm making this up

367
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,760
what i'm trying to justify the names you're talking about

368
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,440
okay the thing that's cool about this is the original alphago

369
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:03,279
had a training data set of thousands of previously played go games played by

370
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,600
humans that were amateurs or professionals like go this is a

371
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:12,480
completely unsupervised like reinforcement learning algorithm that

372
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:16,720
had no training data set no trading data set it started only with the rules of

373
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,440
the game go and in three days could beat the original go

374
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:26,240
is that insane so it played 4.9 million games against

375
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:31,600
itself to acquire the expertise needed to beat

376
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:39,080
the original alphago for comparison the original alphago had

377
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,080
30 million games for inspiration

378
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:45,760
wow after 40 days it defeated a more sophisticated version of alphago called

379
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,799
alphago master and that was the version that defeated the world's best go

380
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,640
players last year it gets even crazier it did this not

381
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:56,400
only is it better it's not even that they just like threw more computing

382
00:26:54,080 --> 00:27:02,720
power at it it's way more efficient the original alphago master had

383
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:07,120
48 tpus or tensor processing units this one

384
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:13,360
four four tpus that's an

385
00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:13,360
order of magnitude more efficient

386
00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:19,279
now this is like not generally ai at all

387
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:23,279
yeah this is playing a game but it's like myth it's it's uh

388
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,520
yeah okay

389
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:32,000
but this thing could wreck you at halo 2. i don't well

390
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,520
okay so that the okay it'll smash you with banshees every time you're getting

391
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:40,000
stuck from across the map no scope headshots

392
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:44,080
there's a pistol headshot yeah

393
00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:49,279
all right uh one more topic before we go into ads uh this was originally posted

394
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:52,000
by jamie scone jammies jammiescon

395
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:56,600
whatever on the forum and the original oh jamie is gone

396
00:27:54,159 --> 00:28:00,240
uh the original article is from kitguru.net

397
00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:07,200
no i don't want your notifications apple reportedly cut down

398
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,559
iphone 8 production already

399
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,320
i mean if it if it wasn't a strong enough indication

400
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,080
that iphone 8 isn't doing particularly well that there were literally no

401
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:18,799
lineups like that was a big thing with the iphone 8 launch

402
00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:21,440
this seems to be

403
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:27,279
this seems to pretty much drive the point home apparently

404
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:31,600
iphone 8 and 8 plus production has been reduced by about 50

405
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,000
for november and december which are typically

406
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:39,360
pretty uh strong sales months for mobile

407
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:43,520
devices and this is apparently the first time apple has reduced iphone production

408
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,520
so early in the cycle this is really worrying considering like

409
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,840
the bright side of this would be to assume that all these people who aren't

410
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:55,279
buying the 8 are just waiting to buy the 10 but

411
00:28:53,600 --> 00:29:00,159
but they probably won't even be able to buy the 10. and the other issue is that

412
00:28:57,919 --> 00:29:06,000
apparently a lot of people are opting for the iphone 7 instead of the eight

413
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,919
which is frankly a decision that okay a

414
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,480
makes a lot of sense to me in the first place because the iphone 7 and 8 are

415
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,840
really really not very different you're getting way more eyes per dollar

416
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:22,480
and number two the more people go out there and buy the

417
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,960
iphone 7 the longer the support cycle we are

418
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:31,360
likely to see on that product because and this is this is something that's i

419
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:35,279
that actually comes up fairly often when i'm talking about you know what tech

420
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:39,440
product you should buy a lot of the time it doesn't work out to be in your best

421
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:43,600
interest to go and buy say the most expensive motherboard because a lot of

422
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:47,039
the time what can end up happening is because they sell so few units of that

423
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:54,080
model it might end up with a very short support cycle and a much smaller install

424
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:57,840
base of people to call into tech support and complain if something goes wrong

425
00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:03,679
they might end up with more compatibility issues down the line because of that smaller install base

426
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:06,640
installing a wide variety of hardware to to you know

427
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:11,520
find out if there's any issues and report them to the manufacturer

428
00:30:08,399 --> 00:30:14,399
so owning the like the popular one

429
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:18,399
can actually be really good because the iphone 7 here's another thing if there's

430
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,440
a huge install base even not directly from apple even if we're talking from

431
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:26,799
app developers if there's a huge install base of these iphone 7's because apple was effectively

432
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:31,679
selling them for two years at full pop or at full speed then you're gonna see

433
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,279
app developers really focus on optimizing for that phone for a longer

434
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:39,679
time into the future as those iphones start to have their

435
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:44,159
screens broken or start to be replaced it's just going to take longer before

436
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,120
you aren't worth investing in anymore so

437
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:53,760
the fact that there's this momentum on the iphone 7 becomes sort of a self um

438
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,200
self-reinforcing positivity snowball and

439
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,960
the more people realize that the iphone 7 is a great

440
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,120
choice compared to the eight the more it will be a great choice compared to the

441
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:07,440
eight that's where i was coming to that's your positivity

442
00:31:04,399 --> 00:31:08,399
snowball that's my positivity snowball

443
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:14,159
um so i mean i ended up just by chance with a couple of those

444
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:19,039
types of devices so the ipad one was a big steaming pile of beta um it it

445
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:26,559
didn't end up being supported for very long it was thick the battery life sucked it was super slow iphone 2 did i

446
00:31:23,679 --> 00:31:30,080
say iphone she said ipad okay good ipad 2

447
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:34,080
way better in every way like fantastic and made a ton of sense as a product for

448
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:38,799
quite some time because even the ones that came after it were adding things

449
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:42,480
like high resolution displays that actually

450
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:46,720
ended up hurting battery life as much as they increased the resolution of the

451
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:50,320
display they ran hotter like the ipad 2 had stuff going for it for like three or

452
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:54,720
four generations afterwards it wasn't until the air i think that we got one

453
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:58,240
that was higher resolution and better battery and ran cooler was like better

454
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,919
in every possible way um so my ipad 2 ended up getting

455
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,120
supported almost forever and the same with the ipad or with the iphone 4. and

456
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,720
i ended up with like both of them at the same time i was like this is great apple support

457
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:13,120
for like four or five years this is awesome um

458
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:18,159
but it doesn't always work out like that so it's really nice when you end up with something like that and it looks like

459
00:32:15,679 --> 00:32:23,279
the iphone 7 could be another one i personally wish it had been the success

460
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,679
because it has a headphone jack but um

461
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:30,480
sorry guys button got the watch oh oh yeah the apple watch what about it

462
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:35,120
os4 oh you're just upset because you lost that playlist feature yeah so apple

463
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:40,559
right does not behave in this way every time you have a second gen

464
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:45,120
yeah second gen yeah ed just lost a feature that was deprecated seemingly

465
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:49,519
and we have no you know insider knowledge of apple or anything but

466
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:53,760
seemingly to make room for a new version of the feature that is only available on

467
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:58,240
the new one that has lte connectivity

468
00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:03,279
so you're just going to buy the new one aren't you what

469
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:06,960
you are aren't you are you already wearing it

470
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:10,480
no did you already buy the new one did you already order it that's crazy are

471
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:14,080
you going to the apple store after this weekend

472
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:18,799
he's already on the apple store right now yeah i have to get this replaced because i

473
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,519
have a chip on there oh and i'll sell this one then you'll sell that one and

474
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:26,559
get the new are you really gonna get the new one

475
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,840
oh see you are everything that's wrong with oh man you're killing me he's one

476
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:34,799
of those apple people do you actually need something or you're what can i do for you

477
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:39,840

all about the culture of repairing your own stuff because why

488
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:33,520
should you pay a manufacturer a bunch of money or throw something out

489
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:38,240
contributing to waste in our world when you can repair something yourself for

490
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:43,839

543
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:40,599

544
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:42,720
to remind myself really ask james about

545
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:45,440
wwe because here here it is here it is so i sent

546
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:51,280
this to myself on october 17th three days ago because

547
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:57,119
uh i the day after because i i was like super i was super curious

548
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:01,040
what was wd i mean you're not like a wwe fan right no

549
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:06,160
so you think it's kind of ridiculous i i watched it as a child and then

550
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:10,800
watched it for way longer than i would have because my friend was super into it

551
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,440
you didn't know it was fake really no i'm just joking of course you

552
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,920
know it's fake it's kind of like uh it was kind of slap

553
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:22,240
sticky slapstick there was a couple lol moments watching it live actually

554
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,359
none of the big superstars that i know of were there of course because they're

555
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:28,880
all retired now like stone cold it's not gonna show up so it was all like no

556
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:31,920
names to me so i felt more like i was at like one of

557
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,240
those mexican wrestling events just because they were all no names and they're doing stupid stuff and one guy

558
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:40,480
actually had a mexican uh wrestling mask on so that contributed to the feel

559
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:45,119
family fun and uh pretty entertaining

560
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,839
how much was it 20 bucks that's why i went

561
00:39:47,599 --> 00:39:54,240
it was sweet all right it was sweet so tell me how sweet was it

562
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,200
was it sweet in a this was a great way to turn my brain

563
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,800
off for two hours on a tuesday night way or was it great

564
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:06,079
you know like i'm gonna start finding out who these guys are and following the storylines not a chance it was a great

565
00:40:03,839 --> 00:40:09,359
in the like i get to hang out and like have dinner and spend the evening with

566
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:13,599
my childhood friend who i only get to see like every quarter kind of way and

567
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:19,440
it was only 20 bucks it was 50 bucks wouldn't have done it no not a chance sorry childhood friend

568
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,839
you're worth it i'd hang out with him without

569
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:28,960
but not 50 bucks just wouldn't went to that with him

570
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:34,079
but yeah it was sweet best part was the uh the voice announcer guy

571
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:37,920
yeah i love that like the ability to like grab the microphone and

572
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:41,440
the you know like let's get ready to rumble kind of guy are we even allowed

573
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,960
to say that i know we can't do it with the intonation he has like that like

574
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:48,000
trademarked yeah the intonation yeah just say it like stephen hawking style

575
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:53,200
ready to i don't even know if you can say it at all oh my god it's one of those things

576
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:58,000
like the whole um the whole copyright on happy birthday that actually recently

577
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:01,760
was that one was overturned but where like nobody even realizes that you

578
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:06,160
you like can't say this stuff because they'll actually go after you you know

579
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:09,920
that rudolph was invented by coca-cola no

580
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:14,880
let that bake your noodle for a second huh they also made santa claus red

581
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,520
enjoy coke how about that

582
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:23,520
all right um okay let's do our last sponsor spot now sorry for that totally

583
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,640
unrelated aside sewell direct

584
00:41:25,359 --> 00:41:31,200
check this out this is a new sponsor right connect anything

585
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,240
in a nutshell they sell all sorts of audio visual

586
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,040
equipment cables extenders they specialize in HDMI cables extenders

587
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,920
switches splitters speaker wire banana plugs ir

588
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:44,240
remote control extenders and they cut out the middlemen by designing and

589
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,800
manufacturing the products themselves which they sell directly to you so we've

590
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:51,920
got a couple of their HDMI extenders so all these are oh okay yeah these are

591
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:56,880
cool i've seen these before these are HDMI over cat5 adapters

592
00:41:55,119 --> 00:42:00,400
so basically instead of trying to run a super long HDMI cable which either

593
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,880
doesn't work or you have to get a special active cable what you do is you

594
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:09,920
plug your HDMI in then you've got this um this active module here that needs

595
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:13,040
what is it yeah five volt power then you're on Ethernet and you can

596
00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:18,720
actually run it quite a lot longer than you would be able to so this guy right

597
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:20,079
here uh this is the hl10 i want to say

598
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:25,680
let me just double check i don't want to say anything incorrect

599
00:42:21,839 --> 00:42:28,960
blah blah blah yeah this guy will do 175

600
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:32,079
feet with a 1080p HDMI signal over cat5e

601
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,680
or cat6 with zero compression and

602
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:37,680
they've got other stuff that'll actually do uh

603
00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:40,560
wow 390 feet pretty cool

604
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:44,480
so two senders and two receivers each sender can be sent to one of 64 channels

605
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:47,920
by the buttons on the front or a remote and you can check out all this cool oh

606
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:51,920
yeah it's a sleek little monolith that's the puppy that's the baller one that's

607
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:57,520
the uh boom this is the 390. that's the hd link hl 21 HDMI extender plus matrix

608
00:42:56,079 --> 00:43:03,440
over network is this the one that goes 390 feet um so any receiver connected to

609
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:07,839
the channel that you select will receive the video signal this one is h.264

610
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:11,280
compression though so you can check out these videos are

611
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:14,160
these videos these products and more at the url shown on screen so that

612
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:19,680
seouldirect.com slash Linus it's got that uh

613
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:23,200
that new HDMI over ip smell i actually like the smell of new

614
00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:26,880
electronics give it a sniff yep

615
00:43:24,319 --> 00:43:30,480
it's got that it's it's that fresh pcb smell you know when they when they

616
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:34,960
manufacture it and then they put it into the bag it stays all sealed in there you

617
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,520
know even if the bag's not sealed even if you can't get it back in the bag

618
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:42,720
after it stays in there it stays in there pretty good

619
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:47,520
right i'm gonna give up on that good good work james there

620
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,240
um that's a tyler drop all right

621
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:54,560
what else we got here like what's interesting did you know that google's

622
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:59,200
first system auto chip designed in-house is in the pixel 2 that you've been using

623
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:05,200
all week no you didn't know because they just announced it now really there's a

624
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:05,200
chip in there that you don't know about

625
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,839
the pixel visual course this was originally posted by z ramsey on the on

626
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:17,040
the forum and the original article here is from the verge google's first mobile

627
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:20,319
chip that's not an soc that's an image processor dang it

628
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:25,119
what you're telling me the verge is wrong hold on a second what are these what are

629
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:29,200
they saying okay hold on hold on hold on pixel visual core

630
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,880
soc uh purposeful version of call comes down

631
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:38,079
and another purpose in this case accelerating that

632
00:44:36,319 --> 00:44:45,760
okay so my understanding of the definition of an soc is that it has to

633
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:45,760
have basically all the elements of a

634
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:54,079
of like a more traditional like CPU motherboard

635
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,079
GPU io

636
00:44:54,319 --> 00:45:00,880
wow especially among academics soc is

637
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,800
sociology why don't we look for a much more better

638
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:09,040
definition wow

639
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,040
it's pronounced soch

640
00:45:10,319 --> 00:45:18,880
yeah i'm gonna have to double check the definition here because i wouldn't think an image processor would be an soc so it

641
00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:20,880
integrates all components of a computer

642
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:25,040
or other electronic system may contain digital analog mixed signal and often

643
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:30,319
radio frequency functions all on a single substrate

644
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,920
okay well if they're calling it an soc maybe there's more to this thing than i

645
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:37,680
necessarily thought but here we go we've actually got a uh we've got a look at it

646
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,960
here so the coolest aspects of the pixel

647
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:45,680
visual core maybe that it's already in google's devices they both have it built

648
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:49,280
in but laying dormant until yes

649
00:45:47,359 --> 00:45:54,079
it's laying dormant until they activate over the coming months so

650
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,560
right now it's used just to process HDR plus

651
00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:01,760
stuff way faster faster than you've experienced it it

652
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:05,680
hasn't been activated yet interesting and that's not all they're

653
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:10,079
actually going to use it for more applications than just that they haven't

654
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,040
told us what but we'll see more image and machine learning

655
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:16,319
enhancements being added to the pixel 2 over the coming months very interesting

656
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:21,200
so here's a here's a look at it

657
00:46:19,359 --> 00:46:23,680
so here's the course here's the link to memory

658
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,640
PCIe

659
00:46:26,839 --> 00:46:31,760
wow huh it's super interesting to me that they

660
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:35,200
didn't announce this at their made by google hardware event

661
00:46:33,359 --> 00:46:39,359
i guess they didn't have it ready in time but they still ship devices with it

662
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:43,200
they didn't have the the software implementation ready in time so they

663
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,280
just laid low until now you would have thought they would have

664
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:49,520
at least announced it like when reviewers had hands on so

665
00:46:47,359 --> 00:46:54,319
so they're saying each of its eight processors has been tailored to handle

666
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:59,359
HDR plus duties resulting in HDR plus performance that is five times faster

667
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:03,280
at one tenth of the energy of current of the current implementation

668
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:07,599
now when they say current implementation there do you think they mean

669
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:11,920
what your pixel can currently do before this is turned on yeah that's smooth

670
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:16,640
baby so they say they'll enable it as a developer option in the preview of

671
00:47:13,359 --> 00:47:17,520
Android oreo 8.1

672
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:23,280
wow and that there's going to third-party

673
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,960
apps will have the ability to handle HDR

674
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,920
photo so we'll see more imaging and machine learning enhancements added to

675
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:33,680
the pixel 2. so the pixel 2 is already getting a pretty good review

676
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:38,720
that went up on Floatplane last night and will be added to

677
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:42,800
youtube i think on sunday is when we're gonna see that video go live so uh right

678
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:47,359
now Floatplane has got uh scrapyard wars

679
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:52,640
parts two and three then tomorrow it's gonna get

680
00:47:49,839 --> 00:47:56,640
scrapyard wars part four when youtube gets part two

681
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,920
and it's also got um and you're in scrapyard wars

682
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:04,640
yeah so am i you're in scrapyard wars kinda

683
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:10,640
you're in scrapyard worth just talking no just the voiceover oh you're the voiceover oh that's nice yes listen oh

684
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:15,440
that's it is nice i like doing that listen up keep your ears peeled if you

685
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:20,880
can peel in here for this whimsical voice um so also over

686
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:25,599
there we've got the MSI vortex g25 review we've got the mass drop vast 35

687
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:30,079
inch curved gaming monitor uh you worked on that one uh we've got our video of

688
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:34,640
the let's have a look here what else have we got over there

689
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:37,040
oh lg wallpaper tv part two wait that's

690
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:41,599
up on youtube now oh first ever sli setup still isn't on youtube so with our

691
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:44,480
voodoo sli that's over there right now and i think that pretty much uh that

692
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:50,079
pretty much covers it there's some tech quickies as well all right what else we got for topics

693
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:54,400
here oh right uh if you guys want to know how to join Floatplane

694
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:58,160
you should probably go check out this link that i'm about to post in the chat

695
00:48:55,839 --> 00:49:01,520
do you want to move on to our next topic i guess though

696
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:07,359
sorry i was just talking to a prime about an upcoming build guide

697
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:13,359
oh yeah is that the uh the value value gaming build guide with ryzen the ryzen

698
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:16,000
5 best bang for your buck build byed

699
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:22,400
cool i just want to actually be in there yeah so i may have almost screwed up

700
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:25,839
this build guide but fortunately james had the foresight to listen to

701
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:30,319
what i was saying and carefully ignore it beginner's mind

702
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,680
beginners beginners yeah you're familiar with the concept no is it like

703
00:49:31,839 --> 00:49:38,160
beginner's luck but no beginner's mind is when you're like because you don't

704
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:40,480
know all the minutia you kind of don't take things at face value your question

705
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:47,839
stuff ah anyway this is actually next topic

706
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:51,599
is total full circle for us because it's a kind of part two of a topic that you

707
00:49:49,359 --> 00:49:55,839
and i discussed a couple weeks ago so what we had discussed was that senator

708
00:49:53,599 --> 00:50:00,160
al franken submitted like a letter a bunch of questions to apple about their

709
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:03,920
face id technology and now apple has responded and has answers direct to his

710
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,520
questions one of them i put in bold because you

711
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:11,040
didn't know how the heck apple did this and now we get to know

712
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,720
so here's just a bunch of bullet points i

713
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,839
don't want to say al franken's questions because his question will become obvious

714
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:23,280
when you just hear the answer yeah answer number one face id data including mathematical

715
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:27,920
representations of your face is encrypted and only available to the

716
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:34,400
secure enclave this data never leaves the device it is not sent to apple nor

717
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:37,040
is it included in device backups cool

718
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:41,920
uh the your face face image is captured or discarded once the representation is

719
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:43,680
calculated for comparison meaning

720
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:47,200
that they can never surrender it to the authorities the fbi can't ask for it

721
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:52,640
because apple just never has it um they oh this is cool so ir and depth

722
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:56,640
images were collected in studies conducted with participants informed

723
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,760
consent so we had we had talked about you know how exactly did they train the

724
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:02,720
bloody thing because they said they used billions of images and Linus was asking

725
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:06,960
well where the heck did they get these billions of images and it turns out they

726
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:10,160
actually just took them themselves it's not they haven't said that they've

727
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,200
taken taken photos of a billion different people that seemed silly they

728
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,960
probably took thousands of photos of hundreds of people i mean they're apple

729
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:21,839
they could conceivably pay every single person on earth like 60 bucks

730
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:25,200
to or like they could pay a billion people like 60 bucks to take a picture

731
00:51:24,319 --> 00:51:29,680
of them send us a selfie yeah um

732
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:35,119
so they took multiple pictures with multiple different types of sensing technology including ir and cool

733
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:39,280
presumably of like 360 views so there you go they are taking security for it

734
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:43,200
pretty darn seriously next topic posted by numlock21 on the

735
00:51:41,359 --> 00:51:46,160
forum this

736
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:54,000
oh boy someone at ASUS actually we know specifically who andrew

737
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:56,000
wu the rog motherboard product manager

738
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:00,720
someone at ASUS andrew wu is uh in a fair bit of trouble

739
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:05,359
right now this is some serious under bus throwing yeah this is some

740
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:09,760
this is some foot in mouth being run over by the wheel of the bus

741
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:13,520
with the foot in the mouth so the head gets run over too and the foot just gets

742
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:17,680
further in there yeah like it like the heels up and the wheel rolls over the

743
00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:22,240
heel and jams it through the back of you can't even gag because there's too much

744
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,520
foot yeah um so in an interview with bit

745
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:27,359
tech bit tech basically we'll give you kind

746
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:33,359
of the rundown they basically go can you explain in technical detail why

747
00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:37,599
coffee lake won't work with z270 motherboards

748
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:41,280
mpm the pm goes oh it's it's Intel's decision bittex says so it's not a

749
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:44,240
physical limitation Intel said it was to do with the power

750
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:47,440
delivery pm goes not really

751
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:53,200
it power delivery makes a little bit of difference but not much

752
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:58,960
so bit tech goes so what are they referring to the the 20 or so unused pins from before he

753
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:05,520
goes yes so if you wanted an Intel let you you

754
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:07,920
could make z270 compatible pm goes yes

755
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:12,559
but you would also require an upgrade uh from the management engine a BIOS

756
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:17,599
update until somehow has locked the compatibility

757
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:21,760
whoa okay um

758
00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:29,359
it basically just comes down to stability then until i just did this for visibility so

759
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:33,760
this is one of those situations where i run into trouble

760
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:37,599
because i know things that were told to me off the record

761
00:53:36,319 --> 00:53:42,559
well well no i'm just it's not about that i'm just

762
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:45,920
messing with you i know things off the record

763
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:50,079
that they're they're not they don't conflict

764
00:53:48,079 --> 00:53:54,480
with any of this information because

765
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:57,599
what he said was that here maybe maybe i

766
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,359
can help the audience infer

767
00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:02,880
based on what he said because all the information is really in there if you

768
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:07,440
read between the lines so Intel said it was to do with the power

769
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:12,319
delivery and he says not really it makes a little bit of

770
00:54:09,839 --> 00:54:12,319
difference

771
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:19,839
they did change something

772
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:24,400
why did they do it surely Intel would have saved themselves

773
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:28,960
some cost and changed nothing

774
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,119
if they didn't feel like they had to change something

775
00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:36,400
for some reason

776
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:40,880
because if we're going to attack this problem from the tin foil hat mindset

777
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:46,400
of these money grubbing companies don't want to spend any money and they want to

778
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:51,760
take ours surely we can all agree that Intel would

779
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:58,160
have done absolutely nothing if there wasn't some reason that they

780
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:59,200
perceived that they had to do something

781
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,960
so they did something

782
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:08,319
it according to this interview had to do with the power delivery

783
00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:17,280
also according to this interview ASUS could make it compatible

784
00:55:13,839 --> 00:55:19,440
if Intel wasn't locking it out

785
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:24,880
for some reason may be related to why they did something

786
00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:28,559
it's all in the interview i haven't said anything that i wasn't supposed to pass

787
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:34,079
along is there any possible way that we could uh like hack it and make it work

788
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:37,280
no okay even ASUS can't do it because

789
00:55:34,079 --> 00:55:39,119
Intel would have to update emmy okay

790
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:44,160
second question do you think that uh andrew wu here kind

791
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:48,559
of backpedals at the end where he says uh you know it's not that big of a deal

792
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,200
anyway because people who bought uh z270 just 10 months ago when it came out

793
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:56,799
they're probably not likely to be the type of consumer who's going to upgrade anyway it's people with older systems

794
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,119
who are going to upgrade so to me it really has nothing to do with that

795
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:05,440
because you know when um when kaby lake came out

796
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:09,200
you know for a long time once until launches a new CPU for a long time

797
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:14,720
sometimes like right through the entire time it's available you can buy the last

798
00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:18,240
generation chipset which actually usually has the same features because

799
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:22,960
they don't change much if they don't have to um you can you can buy those old

800
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:28,160
ones for a little bit cheaper so if you wanted a z170 board with a 7700k you

801
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:32,559
would get overclocking unlocked for your k-series

802
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,280
chip you'd get just as many SATA ports you'd get this you get that

803
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,880
and overall performance would in most cases

804
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:46,480
be very similar and someone's car alarms go off oh no someone set off the actual

805
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,319
alarm is that a 101 or is that here

806
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,760
do you mind investigating thank you sir

807
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,400
the alarms are going off in here uh yeah so sorry about that guys we getting

808
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,720
stolen um

809
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,400
this is a job for laser james

810
00:57:00,799 --> 00:57:05,520
ha ha they laughed at me

811
00:57:05,839 --> 00:57:10,760
they're still laughing at you that's why i'm here

812
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:19,920
you it looks like my work here is done

813
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:25,040
good work laser james i have an unblockable soil

814
00:57:21,839 --> 00:57:26,880
so anyway um

815
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:30,400
from this interview reading between the lines of this interview

816
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:36,480
they probably could have made it compatible there is some reason related to the

817
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:42,240
power delivery that they decided not to and not only decided not to but also

818
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,599
decided to do actual work on z370 at a

819
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:49,760
great expense now do i necessarily think then that this

820
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:52,799
makes Intel some kind of a white knight no

821
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:57,280
because what they have also done is they've released only a single 300

822
00:57:54,880 --> 00:58:02,559
series chipset z370 the highest priced one in their

823
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:08,559
stack so you don't even have the option to buy you know like uh

824
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:11,200
an 8400 for example and pair it with a cheapo board because it because it

825
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:15,359
doesn't it's not unlocked for overclocking anyway so

826
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:20,240
yeah that's pretty greasy are they clearly trying to extract more value

827
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:27,280
from the customer yeah if they felt bad about it they would have done like the bare minimum like just like

828
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:32,319
almost at cost okay like eating it so if they had no margin on the on the mobos

829
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:37,920
all right so they're they're clearly trying to you know you know do corporate things

830
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:42,079
you know the raw is you know average uh cart price or whatever the those metrics

831
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:46,079
that e-tailers look for the drive attach you know that kind of

832
00:58:44,319 --> 00:58:50,640
stuff they're clearly doing that but i'm also not necessarily one of the

833
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:55,119
people holding a torch going you should be able to plug a coffee lake

834
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,359
into a z270 because there does appear to

835
00:58:55,119 --> 00:59:01,119
be an actual physical change that they made that

836
00:58:58,799 --> 00:59:06,400
they felt was necessary for the most stable and optimal operation um honestly

837
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:10,280
i think one of the big reasons that we only got z370 is Intel was fully aware

838
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,839
that coffee lake supply was going to be extraordinarily limited and they figured

839
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:17,760
well if people like if we can't keep them on shelves

840
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:23,440
anyway then we might as well sell them to the people that we're gonna go out there and

841
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,760
spend the most on the best chipset and the top of the line well that's not what

842
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:31,680
he's saying he's saying that people who are just ready to upgrade who didn't upgrade to

843
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,079
z270 can upgrade now

844
00:59:33,119 --> 00:59:38,160
but they're gonna have to do that to great expense yeah i mean that's that's

845
00:59:36,319 --> 00:59:41,680
that's his whole thing and i'm not i'm making my i'm drawing my own conclusions

846
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,040
here about what exactly Intel was doing with their strategy

847
00:59:43,119 --> 00:59:49,040
so i'll leave it to you guys to sort of come up with your own uh

848
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:52,319
your own answers here but i do want to show you your own answers to something

849
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:57,280
we discussed earlier let's go ahead and pull up our micro

850
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:00,160
transactions poll from earlier in the show

851
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:04,640
fifty dollar game how much is it acceptable to spend per year on micro

852
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:08,720
transactions so first uh alex how much per year is it acceptable to spend

853
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:13,119
one fifty dollar game nothing nothing okay so

854
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:15,359
you are actually the second most popular

855
01:00:13,119 --> 01:00:20,400
answer okay 38 of our voters think it's okay to

856
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:23,119
spend up to ten dollars on a fifty dollar game

857
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:29,319
so like a little treat it's a little something for yourself some horse armor you know yeah

858
01:00:26,319 --> 01:00:29,319
um

859
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:41,680
canadian that's like that's like six how many rubles is that

860
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:43,440
um okay 31 of you are saying zero

861
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:50,160
dollars period 22 of you 50 bucks and 10 percent of you

862
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:55,440
must be like some kind of mega ballers because you think it's okay to spend

863
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:56,960
between 50 to over a hundred dollars on

864
01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:02,799
microtransactions in your game are you for real i can't even imagine spending that kind

865
01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:07,200
of money on microtransactions mlg baby you're not hardcore

866
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:11,119
yeah that much is that much i mean i i didn't even spend that much on my car

867
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,920
like look at my car it's not even worth a hundred dollars

868
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:20,079
seriously i took it down tried to trade it in new straw pool new straw poll how

869
01:01:16,319 --> 01:01:20,079
much would you pay for alliance's car

870
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:28,079
i bet i bet you could get more than 100 bucks okay so that's okay that's a bit of that

871
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:32,000
there's an issue with that though uh you're taking all those phones

872
01:01:29,599 --> 01:01:38,240
what's that one on the bottom oh the pixel oh okay so hey guys uh this

873
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:39,599
is another cool teaser so um those of

874
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:44,000
you who aren't subscribed over on Floatplane won't actually know this yet

875
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:48,799
but brandon here is going to be working on a first for our channel

876
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:51,920
a smartphone camera roundup that why are you why

877
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:55,520
why are you doing this this is this is how i'm going to be on the show now

878
01:01:53,839 --> 01:01:58,799
you're behind the mic yeah that's good stay there stay there because those are

879
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:02,880
those are so ridiculous so anyway um

880
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:08,880
i've never really done in-depth phone camera testing because frankly

881
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:16,000
i mean you're not a camera person i'm not qualified thank you brandon um so so

882
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,799
with the pixel 2 and the iphone 8

883
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,000
and to a lesser extent the s8 but definitely

884
01:02:19,119 --> 01:02:25,040
the note 8 the camera was like the thing they wanted to talk about so

885
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:31,119
brandon's going to be doing a dedicated video sometime probably next week on Floatplane hopefully um hopefully maybe

886
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:36,240
the following week really picking these phones apart and figuring out which one

887
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:40,400
is more camera for your dollar attached to a phone and you're throwing a dslr

888
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:44,960
into the mix aren't you yes oh boy well we'll see oh boy

889
01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:49,200
many many use cases is that almost a separate video i don't know the whole

890
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:53,760
like should you still buy you know a a 600 700 dslr i want to talk about that

891
01:02:52,319 --> 01:02:58,319
you want to talk about it maybe we should just bring you on for like a WAN Show segment or something i don't know

892
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:03,599
you know my favorite part about this whole thing is brandon hates smartphone

893
01:03:01,119 --> 01:03:06,880
camera commentary he hates when people talk about it he hates when there's

894
01:03:04,799 --> 01:03:11,839
videos about the iphone camera he hates it now he has to do it to clarify

895
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:16,480
i do not hate the iphone and smartphone cameras being good i do however hate the

896
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:20,160
thousands of articles i've seen over the years about things that are shot on the

897
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:25,200
iphone being making it seem like the iphone was the

898
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:29,280
best tool for i get i i get it it's good enough for this use case and it can work

899
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:34,079
perfectly but there is no one who can sit there and

900
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:38,720
tell me that the iphone is a better camera in most use cases for a

901
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:42,839
professional situation brandon just your pills i can tell you that i won't have

902
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:46,960
any credibility but i can tell you that just to get his blood pressure up

903
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:51,280
right he's not even going to make it into work on monday he'll have had like four heart

904
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:56,319
attacks also i just realized why aren't we

905
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:58,319
calling the pixel xl the pixel

906
01:03:56,319 --> 01:04:03,039
the pixico the cool the pixel double xls all right so

907
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:06,720
thanks for watching guys we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad

908
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:12,599
channel and yes i'm really ending the show on that terrible joke deal with it

909
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,599
oh man

910
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:20,799
haha i got the end of show on even worse of a joke

911
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,119
what's the baddest grammar

912
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:41,160
yeah halo you can just host a dedicated server we should totally set one up

913
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:50,720
we don't really discuss that we're still live you know oh really

914
01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:57,760
i didn't know that oh and if we set up a server it will be a

915
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:57,760
legit game surfer so no bad bad alex
