oh i had like a gas bubble there welcome to the WAN Show guys it's uh i
well i can't control when a gas bubble comes
i mean maybe you have just magnificent gas control but yeah not everyone shares
there's multiple chambers along my throat so i can capture it and then hold
it for later frog luke yeah like yeah yeah i'm pretty
sure that that's like a breathing thing not like a stomach air thing no yeah
it's along my throat it's along your throat yeah i've never noticed this yeah
well it's internal i mean i've inspected the internals of the throat and
you know probed anyway sorry what are we talking about
uh we have interesting topics today that we have to do with throat probing yeah
no throat probing uh adblock plus now bringing you adds a little bit of throat
probing a little bit of throat probing yeah get throat probed right there uh
the iphone 7. is it the fastest phone
ever google terminates adblock plus adsense
account yeah that was a one-two punch if i've
ever heard of one also you two uh nope that one's not as interesting us
government issues an official note seven recall
the note seven you might say that that whole thing blew
up in their faces oh man i was trying to think of some pun thing you beat me to
it yeah something with blue and blow
only if you're choking
good job Colton good job
all right so the when oh my keyboard is like see this is
something that continues to i think i've ranted about this on lanchow before so
i'm not going to do it again today but keyboard input
should never lag yeah it should never lag it should be like you know how they
have real-time operating systems like the kind that runs your car where it's
just like no there is no lag on the abs braking system no we should treat
keyboard inputs like abs brakes i mean it's not the same thing
no it is not the same i'm aware that the keyboard
unless you are playing a driving game
and you bind your e-brake to the space bar
then your keyboard is effectively a break
oh man and i broke his head oh a little
bit his brain is broken now okay
sorry i just need to do this facebook post
what do we got
nothing nothing sorry we have no topics for you
today i was reading the twitch chat forget it yeah someone confused me
because they have a new star thing because i guess finally our subscriber
thing works oh i think way to go Colton again yeah yeah i think
Colton fixed it because he was like lying to an error page or something did
you know that doesn't work and i was like yeah
and he's like are you ever gonna fix it i was like no
there's so there's there's no benefits at all there's no emoticons and there's
no subscriber symbol other than a star but there will be
radically someone had someone subscribed yeah he's a sub from my own stream oh i
see should i change it to sub only mode so we can just talk to
one person
i don't even know how what a i don't even know how
here am i even a mod i don't i don't even know if i'm a mod am i even signed
in i don't even think i'm yeah i'm signed in i'm signed in this is my
channel i should be able to uh i should be able to change to
to sub only mode i don't even understand how this works
everyone's like pre-recorded oh it is most assuredly not pre-recorded we are
definitely we are definitely still working on this all right
i'm just going to keep clicking this gear button in the bottom until i can
clear chat hide chat edit appearance i don't remember the comment they changed
it they changed it they did actually change that's fine i give up okay let's
move into our first topic of the day ad block plus now bringing you ads the
original article here is from ours technica let's go ahead and drop that in
the uh let's go ahead and drop that in the twitch chat there
ad block plus finds the end game of its
business model selling ads
so the company is boasting that they have more than 90
million users willing to see pre-white listed ads
so in a nutshell when you put them in by default that means they're willing yes
so they're launching a self-service platform to sell
pre-white listed ads that will have to meet its acceptable ads criteria and
we've actually covered the acceptable ads program in the past that other than
adblock plus basically being a bunch of butt heads at various
uh did you did you turn on subscriber only yeah so
what a terrible person
i'll turn it off in a second it's only trey and nitro blast
okay i'll turn it off okay terrible to be clear i do not
recommend that you subscribe to the atlantis tech how do i turn it on twitch
account we only stream once a week for one and a
half hours that is not a good value if you're going to subscribe to a twitch
channel this is why i haven't really been been chasing you know getting that
subscribe button going i know this isn't a great sales pitch as far as like don't
subscribe to us driving donations to Linus media group
but there are like other ways that you can contribute where you might actually
get oh i don't know maybe like a t-shirt in return or something like that so
i i mean do it if you must but we don't
plan to do a whole lot of subscriber only chat anyway so we've talked a little bit about the
only time ever like we've talked about the acceptable ads program in the past
um noticing that some things about it are
good like the fact that people opting in through their adblock plus app or widget
or whatever the case may be will be able to contribute ad revenue to the
advertisers that willingly adhere to the
acceptable ads program but the the uh
the way that the evil creeps into this is adblock plus charging advertisers
to be a part of the acceptable ads program to be pre-approved for it
so basically the acceptable ad system is
now providing um is now providing adblock plus with its
main revenue source so there you have it
and the original article here is from businesswire but adblock plus enters ad
tech with the launch of ssp ad platform
i wouldn't cut in but we are definitely not online right now oh really yes
oh that's weird yes we definitely seem
to be online yes we do and we were and nothing noticeably
changed but we are not currently oh
well then we'll be right back won't we the whole chat is talking about how
we're offline and it is currently offline for me as well
yeah there's now four subscribers in stream
i think okay
so are we live now
were we live at all before uh i still don't see a feed but it does say we are
live and there's a circle spinning in the middle
yes my friends we are live oh man that like tripped me out because i was
looking at this computer and the mouse is moving here and it was moving
i'm going to switch out of that view yeah yes we're done with that view so back to
adblock plus maybe subscriber mode broke it
right okay so we should just never do it again
okay so they take a cut right
adblock plus takes a cut from the acceptable ads that's what i've heard i
i don't know if i've actually read that in here so they originally introduced the program back in 2011 as a way to
allow websites that wanted to not have
intrusive ads with intrusive placements to allow adblock plus users to whitelist
their sites so they could at least still get some revenue even if they didn't get
the big fat beefy cpms that come along with things like auto play video so
that's or or ads with uh sound i don't
even know what the metrics are for those
but that's essentially what the lion detective's forum has always done yeah just because we didn't want
like when looking at the forum ourselves because neither of us run adblock we
didn't want it to be a shitty experience yeah so
basically more than 90 percent of adblock plus 100 million users
apparently chose to allow these respectful and useful ads to display on
their favorite websites um i don't remember if it was an opt-out
or an opt-in at the beginning so don't don't quote me on any of that
but basically now they have created their
this this platform that will allow you
to actually buy ad space like pre-white listed ad space
through adblock plus so um and you would
yeah you would have to kind of brilliant if you think about it
so they're using a go-between company called combo tag to get the ads
um yeah i don't know they didn't ask the
underlying ad providers about a deal of any kind
um google and app nexus are both ending
associations with combo tag yeah we should actually that's a separate
article here i'm just going to post chat here they're yeah they're very
related yeah so the original article here is from engadget i'm just going to pull this up but google has terminated
the adblock plus adsense account which
is uh you know a little bit of a
hard stop in terms of what they were trying to do if the plan was for them to
serve google ads through it then uh you know yeah yeah
that's pretty rough um
there's like i don't know this is not very surprising
not very interesting in my opinion a lot the whole internet is like freaking out
about this i don't use it which is probably why it's not that interesting to me yeah but like the amount of people
that basically went like this is the ultimate betrayal you are worse than
anything that has ever happened was extremely large
um to which uh i don't know
running ad block is like yeah app nexus said that adblock is
essentially setting up toll booths on public roads that's brutal taking ad
money that should be going straight to the publishers that's brutal that makes
me dislike adblock more than i did before i mean the thing about the thing
about this is that they are saying adblock plus is
is being opportunistic and being butt
heads but what they aren't doing is proposing
an actual solution to the problem yeah um like i actually it wasn't in any of
these articles unfortunately but i was i forget why i was reading it but i was
reading about adblock use over the last couple of years and the way that it's
trending with millions upon millions of new adblock users per year
and the fact that i mean okay i'm not
going to say fact it's a very strong statement but in my mind i believe with
the cause of this trend being the intrusive ads that exist that force
people to look for an alternative and by intrusive ads i don't even necessarily
just mean video ads like i'm talking stuff that downloads files onto your
computer like there's some really really really bad ads out there that ad
blocking programs do help you circumvent
yeah um and there's some webpages that are just actually unusable without some
form of blocker so google and uh so
google and app nexus are kind of coming at these guys saying they're taking
money that should be going to the publishers um but
the fact of the matter is that these publishers even though they are
ultimately doing it to themselves in my mind not all of them many of them so
we're not in the adblock plus program so our ads on the forum are blocked yes by
most people so the bad publishers are doing it to themselves by adding
intrusive horrible advertising to their sites
and effectively doing it to everyone and no one's really doing anything to fight
this and you know you could kind of go well adapt or die
but have you noticed that even you know
serious you know editorial websites like
a perfect example is uh since the perch takeover a non-tech
now has those um where are they oh they're they're on
mobile here hold on let me fire up an article uh
where are they
here we go oh man they now have like trending today surrey casino manager
gets fired releases five secrets to beat the house like they now have those like
sponsored articles on i mean even very serious like newspaper publications on
their websites have that stuff linking to those those like those rabbit hole
click bait sites but the reality of it is is that this is now a cycle that is
going to continue to snowball until someone does something and i don't have
a clear answer it has been continuing to snowball i kind of because it would be
cool if google spearheaded sort of what
adblock plus is trying to do right and was just really aggressive about it
um and basically got a youtube red style
system right where you could pay in and if you wanted to black uh block
essentially all the ads you could pay in and then google would distribute a
portion of that money depending on how much time they spent on different websites two different publishers i wish
i had that article i was reading apparently google red subscriptions have
really slowed down as well and it doesn't look like that's the answer either
um people just want to block instead of paying money because because basically
they're selling something that people are already getting for free um i
remember what i was reading it was uh it was an article about is ad blocking
illegal and the answer is no but
circumventing an anti-ad block mechanism that's in
place on a website is depending on where you live and what the applicable local
laws are so right but then like
so putting that on your site kills you putting that on your site there's
actually so many people that bought like if we put that on a lot of sections i
think overall traffic would go to like 10 right something ridiculous with that
said your monetizable traffic would be identical in theory except that the way
that you sell advertising space to advertisers is with your overall traffic
numbers with your reach um so so it's like this it's like this
this horrible like tar and cigarette
butt soup of like if you don't have ads
if you don't give in and sell similar to the video ads
yeah it's obnoxious but because of how people
because of the way that people use the way the consumers are behaving you have
to do it to keep up or you can lay off all your staff or you can you know stop
doing investigative journalism and you can just kind of repost what you saw
from somewhere else that is still managing to keep their traffic numbers up high enough to actually employ
looking at youtube these days just rage and create drama about things and then
create a clickbaity title that lines up with that and then you'll be very successful
yeah so i mean to be clear like i kind of i really enjoy the position that
we're in right now with that said the landscape changes so fast online and two
years from now i could be lamenting in any one of these things um
maybe all we'll make are videos about how to make money like the lawn mowing
thing yeah who knows yeah who knows who knows what will be in two years okay probably
not but for us being in control of our own ad sales where we and we i mean it's
something that we didn't do completely by accident where we consciously try to
make our integrated ad spots uh somewhat interesting and applicable to our
audience um that puts us in a position where we can
demand even better cpms than what someone playing you know obnoxious video
ads in the middle of a written article can even though a lot of the time they're
doing as much if not more work than us it's just
it's a function of the medium and i ultimately actually can't do anything
about it i just happen to be sitting on the right side of that particular
um dilemma
i don't know what to call it sure yeah i don't know
um all right speaking of sitting on the right side of things
apple seems to be on the right side of
performance
the iphone 7 the fastest phone ever does
anyone care i i'm pretty sure people care why
what do you mean why why why do people care about an iphone i
don't know no faster oh oh why are you being that much faster
like i don't want to be a dick but most phone apps right now like i have a
very good friend of mine that i was best friends with when we were in high school
and stuff like that is a mobile app developer makes relatively high-end
mobile games right his relatively high-end mobile games have to be able to
scale down to phones that have 500 megabytes of RAM
right these apps are being made
for pretty phones right right once sorry intentionally not very good phones
intentionally um and like my
phone which isn't that new at this point z5 premium other than having like
glitches and bugs with it and the headphone jack is weird and stuff performance wise
great i can do like whatever i want completely
fine with extremely minimal lag if any noticeable at all
so i mean i guess there's a couple different angles on this number one is
do we need faster phones and i think on the iOS side of things it's a
little bit less of an issue than it is on the Android side of things because at
least those older phones are running smaller screens so especially in the case of gaming
they're not going to have to push as hard so you could you can target a large
install base of iphone users which is a huge concern on the Android
side and why you target these very very basic specs because the hardware is all
over the place so you can target a very wide huge install base of iphone users
without necessarily um pandering to the lowest common denominator the way that
you would on Android at the same time tuning that up is a huge amount of extra
work when you could just build it the same way for both right
so you're probably just gonna build it the same way for both look i'm trying to
justify this okay can you just help me out a little bit here i just uh like
okay i'm never gonna say that more performance is a bad thing just like and
it's not it's not at all that's not what i'm saying it's great that it's a fast
phone that's awesome we need to keep doing that there's just so many other
things that it would have rather be the main headline for this phone and it's
fast yeah i do i do still i do still
need to get in a unit for review i will do a review of it and i'll talk about
how it is really really fast and to be clear the iphone 6s is still noticeably
snappier when using it than any Android phone that i've used um but that's
mostly because of the drive right um it's partly due to that partly because
the processor is really really fast which brings me to the other key point
is i don't understand why anyone is making this the headline for the iphone
7 because the iphone 6s was already arguably faster than any Android phone
on the market so i don't really see how we were expecting um i'll follow up
hey it's happening to the a9 that's that's true but apple is not AMD
so uh oh burn sorry AMD sorry sorry you might
want to give some before people freak out okay okay i should probably explain um
so when they replaced the uh their top of the line six core the uh
1090 or 1100 t when they replaced their
top of the line six core with a top of the line eight core fx 8150 if i recall
correctly please don't quote me on the exact model numbers but basically there
were benchmarks more than one where the new eight core because of its
shared resources between the core modules was actually slower than the
flagship processor that it replaced um
not in all in heavily multi-threaded benchmarks
the eight core uh did perform better if i recall correctly
um so there you go i wow i gee i really
don't know what to say about this other than that it is faster and you'll talk
more about this i'm sure geekbench get your there's a new geek bench hey look we're
still reviewing that thing
yep promoted stories see what we're talking
about how anne hathaway became the most hated celeb in hollywood
wow take a celebrity name put a screenshot of their face
put hated or loved or loved or or crazy controversial top five crazy things that
they did yeah yeah yeah
wow we really don't have a lot of good topics for wancho this week nope
u.s government official uh issues official note 7 recall this stuff has
been legitimately insane yeah this is from the washington post already yeah
copying that yeah okay cool cars lighting on fire
um there we go like some someone i think was at a
garage sale or something and like left their phone in the car to charge or
something like that and then their jeep just completely on fire and it
completely destroyed it there's been a lot of issues i heard
through john i don't know but john's usually pretty good source so it's
probably fine that
samsung issued a patch which like capped the what the battery
could charge to trying to get people to issue the
freaking uh right not refunds but recalls yep
trying to be like hey like your phone sucks now i think it was like 60 or something like
that i don't remember sorry if i'm quoting you wrong john um but like
capping their battery percentage which is an interesting thing kind of knowing
that they can do that um and then trying to get people to bring in their phones
for recalls so that they stop freaking lighting things on fire and now the us
government is like hey guys actually do it so
hopefully it happens hopefully people do it so so far there have been 26 reports
of burns and 55 reports of property damage
so i'm kind of wondering at this point i haven't seen anything about this it
could be in the note that would be in the notes i get it um that would be kind
of unfortunate if i missed it but airlines
yeah no i saw that uh who was it one of the canadian airlines basically they
didn't ban them yet but they advised
their passengers against flying with it yeah okay um
but like that's i i would probably want that band i'm really i'm really
surprised about i'm surprised that so
many people are not bringing them in because right now you're in a position
where you can bring it in for a refund
so you actually just get your money back and now that the iphone 7 is
out ah you can get one of those um with no
headphone jack with no headphone jack did you see okay i don't have it right
now but i can try to find it but did you see the like the lineup in front of the
apple store for the phone launch in denmark no i didn't there's two people
waiting oh really they have like balloons all around the door and like
some guy has like a cannon that shoots out little confetti things and the two
guys are just like okay
like they don't even look excited they might not even be there for an iphone 7.
like they might be there to pick something else up oh seriously
i'm not sure i'll try to here i'll try to find it i don't see it iphone fans
line up for the iphone 7 for two days oh wow yeah no i think i think it's
probably doing fine um maybe it was like a joke maybe it's
possible possible it was a joke because iphone 7 released at apple store in
denmark
i mean i'm not sure if that's real
here hold on oh let me screen share you hi i always forget we can do this
i can't there we go
you know what you know what i think i don't think that's an apple store
apple store i think that's like um there are like
chairs like people were waiting but i hear you i see what you say yeah i
think that's like like a compu 2000 like
are simply computing like i think that's like an apple specialty specializing just
computer storage yeah that makes sense because that logo isn't
it's a really grainy it's kind of funny that it's about the iphone 7 it's really
grainy crappy video yeah um but like it that doesn't look like the proper logo
and stuff that is interesting though all right samsung has apparently finally
stopped airing note 7 commercials in korea so that's good
yup they've stopped airing ads for a phone
that you definitely shouldn't buy because it might light on fire
um good job man proud of you sam what a huge
disaster this thing is for them i mean it's one of those things where
i'm sure some of some viewers are probably sitting there wondering like why wouldn't samsung want people to just
you know hold on to it and if it blows up then just kind of get
it replaced at at that time because a recall is like really really expensive
especially when many of the units are
supposedly fine and the answer is that
samsung has to pay millions of dollars to issue a recall and deal with fixing
all those phones okay samsung could end up paying
millions upon millions of dollars if
their phone ultimately ends up um you
know lighting uh i don't know like a high-rise building on fire and a few
hundred people die oh yeah like that's a much bigger problem so samsung has to
even if they on their side are kind of sitting there going okay so you know
math numbers the fact that they've had like 26 reports of bonds and 55 reports
of property damage yeah like holy crap like
this seems like pretty likely for something really bad to happen so even
if samsung was sitting there going okay it's only a few thousand phones that are actually affected
even if they they kind of did that math and what the odds are like pretty darn
low still one of those phones
if they don't at least look like they are doing absolutely everything in their
power someone to get those phones back they are they could end up being liable
for it someone on a plane has their phone go up and the plane goes down yeah
someone on in a car on a bridge
phone goes up something crazy like that not good so anyway note 7 shipments have
been suspended for over a week now and some analysts expect that the sales
won't resume until next month uh when they have time to retool the
phones and get them sent back out to retailers
all right game room has been launched
what is this and why do we care game room dot means
for all your pc games uh steam
okay automatically import scans and imports games from everything else which
doesn't matter steam good old games origin you play
even the ones you would definitely okay never bothered to install okay
uh-huh the only difference is crap i don't care because you would still have
to launch it through the actual thing when you just like how if you have
purchased a game through steam that's a ubisoft game you have to launch it if
you launch it through steam it then has to open you play anyways and launch it
through there who put this in the dock
Colton Colton
okay so what what does it do so it wants to plug into all clients
it just aggregates all the games that are on your computer
i know i know i mean they try and build that into Windows vista
and didn't no one cared yeah yeah yeah the game folder i
actually kind of liked the game it was pretty cool i used the game folder but
it was nice because it was built into Windows yeah well microsoft decided they
didn't care about games anymore it wasn't a room
no like a folder it was a folder yeah but it was games not just game
i mean game room another secret feature about this app is that it aggregates all
the games in your computer and then picks one of them and that game goes into the game room
yeah that's a stupid feature does it actually do that no no no no
i i did that way too seriously
oh man wow this is interesting all right so the
original article here is from ctv news hp is apparently buying samsung's
printer business for 1 billion
so basically they're just buying out samsung having cheap printers that are
like kind of okay so they can sell more expensive printers that are also
kind of okay also samsung's printer business includes more than 6 500
printing patents which is a lot cool
so it will help it go from traditional copiers to multi-function printers said
the deal will also strengthen its position in laser printing
wow this is boring the deal is expected to close within a
year alibaba has fired employees for hacking
their way to free moon cakes
hundreds of holiday cakes were purloined
through weakness in the internal website
so let's say for example that Linus media group were to have a mooncake
program which is more common than you might
think it like an asian for an asian company what is a moon cake okay moon
cakes are something to do with some kind of chinese something or other it's like
a seasonal item it's like it's like a fruitcake i mean it's nothing like a
fruitcake because they're gross and they're just full of like egg
um yeah it's like
i'm okay if you're likely to be offended by
what i'm about to say yeah then you better tune out and kind of come back in
a minute or so that's never a good sign but like
chinese dessert oh no
like red bean soup it doesn't even it doesn't sound like
dessert it doesn't look like dessert and most
importantly it does not taste like dessert
it doesn't have sugar in it it has a grainy ass texture to it it's just awful
it leaves a wicked bad aftertaste odour mango jelly and it has beans in it hey
that thing that we used to get that he'd put on the thing
and then he'd lift it off okay okay yes so there are some
there are some good chinese puddings that i can abide
but my wife okay she eats what she calls chinese donuts
what are those as far as i can tell they are flour and bread deep fried
there's no sugar sprinkles there's no sugar in them
as far as i can tell again it's like have you ever had a beaver tail
yeah okay it's like a beaver tail but with no toppings
no sugar no cinnamon that sounds really on a piece it's just it's just like a
deep fried pastry and i'm sitting here going
that is not dessert even chinese jello is awful they have this jello you know
you know um Yvonne's layered jello that uses the the regular jello and like
whipping cream infused yellow yeah okay so i got suckered into this
chinese jello because it looked like my wife's jello and my wife is chinese so i
kind of put two and two together i went this is how my chinese wife makes jello
this is how her chinese relatives probably make jello they are probably
the same thing yeah it looked a little different okay like the colors were kind
of pastel instead of being like like dark jello colors
and then the the lighter layers were also light okay so it looked quite
similar no it turns out it has like rice in it and it's not sweet
rice i'm just like rice is the like why
probably as far away from dessert as you could
pretty much ever get some rice pudding is pretty good
okay i can do rice pudding with like a sweetened yogurt added to it i don't
think i've ever had rice pudding okay i'm not well-versed enough in this topic
to talk about it so i don't remember how i got into this right um moon cakes are
disgusting so people got stole people got fired for
stealing moon cakes you know what they could have had my moon cake i i used to
get moon cakes at ncix where i used to
work and every year i would bring them home and i would give them to my in-laws
because brownie points and they're disgusting
and i want nothing to do with them and so it was actually one it was actually a
pretty cool perk but all the other all the other white
people who worked there would get them and they'd just be like
this is very expensive i sure wish i had something else for the
money you spent
oh on cakes that's that's a little sad sorry anyway
so oh okay actually it looks like all of this information was actually in here so
it's the mid-autumn festival which starts on september 15th and the holiday
is commemorated through the exchange and sharing a salted duck egg started by a
thin crust wow i'm uninterested so so
hold on um so the round pastry is filled with lotus
seed paste or red bean paste and then
sometimes the salted yolk of a duck egg surrounded by a thin crust
if that sounds good to you then
thumbs up and then good have some moon cakes um yeah they're apparently in huge
demand leading up to the festival and alibaba offered their employees one moon
cake each um complete with one alibaba plush
inside additionally cakes were sold at cost to employees for friends and family
through an internal e-commerce page so four software engineers were able to
add software to the system directing extra moon cakes to themselves i mean
how many how many moon cakes do you need they found that the four had amassed
themselves 124 boxes of cakes how are you going to eat 124 lotus seed paste
cakes 124 duck eggs i mean how many ducks
does it take to make 124 duck eggs like
not even in the like wow you must ate a lot of moon cakes bro but like how is
that worth it
i can't i can't imagine that you would honestly think that you wouldn't
get caught for that ever
like what like what made them think
the company doesn't know how many employees they have and how many moon cakes they bought like
if you're going to steal like one extra one it probably doesn't matter you're
probably going to get away with it yeah and you're going to catch them just be like what and then it's probably fine
and you could even you could even you could even be like hey
i used this loophole to steal one i i like kind of already ate it but like you
should probably patch that loophole you know you could be like i'll trade you a mooncake for a bug
report yeah yeah you'd probably get away with that yeah 124 boxes of cakes that's
just stupid i stole some micro usb cables
you can if you if you want you can you also told me about them yeah so it's not
really stealing at that point is it okay it's taking without permission
and then asking permission after okay that is
kind of

speaking of websites and the urls that go with them
beautiful squarespace squarespace build it see what it did
there oh i like it if we do it in reverse then
it can't be wrong should you no wait should you
depends who you ask i think
so squarespace.com lets you create a
beautiful website if
should you it doesn't really work that well
okay so should you find yourself wanting to
build a beautiful website then you can use squarespace.com should
you find yourself in need of tech support they offer 24 7 tech support via
live chat and email should you be pleased with the squarespace website
that you have created you can take your trial website which you have i think
it's 15 days to work on don't quote me on that i can't forget i can't forget i
can forget i can't remember um you can sign up for only 12 bucks a
month and you get a free domain should you decide that you want to commit to
squarespace for an entire year
should you decide that you want to sell things through your squarespace website
they have commerce built into every one of their templates and should you decide
to be a complete butt head and create a website that's just a one-page internet
presence that doesn't give any bloody information about your company your
products and or how they are related to each other then they do have their cover
pages feature which lets you get that online in a matter of minutes which i
guess is fine should you find yourself in a situation where you really don't
have a lot of time because you're too busy being like a web 2.0 startup and
you're you know sipping your lattes and mocha lattes and frappa lattes and
whatever it is to spend a lot of time writing out all
the copy for your website but should you decide to build a more comprehensive
website squarespace has got you covered there too and it's so simple that should
you find yourself 30 with no web skills
whatsoever and running a tech company where that kind of thing is very
embarrassing squarespace can bail you out
so should you no i actually but that was just a pause because i wasn't sure what
my transition was going to be so now it's more difficult
should you um find all of this exciting yes uh you can use offer code when to
get 10 off your first purchase yes
we did it
oh yeah basically awesome people so there's way
more far more interesting topics like
far below the fold oh seriously
so they hit they hid all the interesting stuff on us this week i mean this is
interesting okay so apple decided to put a barometric vent in the space where the
iphone 7 headphone jack would have been
so they're saying that uh this feature can measure minor changes
like climbing a flight of stairs fascinating yeah um so basically it's
coming back down to apple wanting to be a health
measurement device company that seems to be where they're headed i mean
it's one thing to sell an iphone for a thousand dollars it's a whole other
thing to sell a medical device for ten thousand dollars
um yay so i can i can see where the appeal of getting into
um although hopefully we will wreck their hopes and dreams coming this
hopefully not too long after this november oh are
you going to be working on that thing should we should we tease it i don't
think anyone else is going to rip off the idea sure i sent a follow-up they said
they're still down for november so i'm working with a local university i'm not
going to name who specifically it's a ba university they're awesome though yeah
so like i'm not just saying that because like i know one person really well who
flunked out of it who flunked out of it
ah really i thought it was a different one nope oh okay no i went all the way
to the top okay um anyways they're they're awesome
they're really good and i hold i hold no ill-will
i'm gonna be working with their sports cardiology department to
bench to do a benchmark of sorts against
fitness trackers yeah like hopefully more than just way i want to see if we
can do sleep tracking but i don't know if we're going to be able to do that okay um just because of like lab hours
and stuff like that but i'm going to try to figure out because they do have a mobile thing anyways we'll try to figure
it out yeah but mainly heart rate tracking yeah so so they have so
basically we're going to get him hooked up to the proper gear we're going to get a range
as well because heart rate trackers work uh
more or less effectively against different people so we're going to get like an athlete from that school
and myself and like probably the guy that's running the program to get like i
thought you're going to say me i thought we were going from athlete to you to me and i was going to be like
well a your dick and b that's probably fine
oh no your cardio is way better than mine i guarantee it my knees are just
mess up i know i'm hoping that they're better i can move
until i can't move anymore right right
a whole other thing but yeah so that should actually be really cool that was
sprung largely from a while ago when we were talking on the WAN Show when fitbit
was getting like lawsuits for being bad things basically
not reporting things correctly yeah so we want to look into that more deeply um
so yeah tracking health things with little
tiny devices that aren't very proven yet
might not be a thing or might yeah by the time we do that we should have an
eye watch too so unfortunately a lot of the like
watches that we got aren't going to be slightly replaced by then but dude how
many of them did we buy a few uh to be fair though a lot was an
overstatement i think only two of them were replaced by that how much were they one of them was the iwatch which we
didn't buy for it that's true that's true so i think it's
only one maybe i think i did end up paying for that though we didn't buy it
four years yeah no i bought it we already have it yeah yeah
because most of like microsoft hasn't come out with a new one
yeah garmin hasn't come up with a new one everyone's like apple watch no it is
the iwatch forever i refuse
i refuse so anyway so
the barometer is maybe going to be useful for cool stuff like measuring
altitude which i guess is pretty neat um
i don't know i would trade a knife i would trade a headphone jack oh yeah for
that personally but at least they did
something that would be interesting if they made a barometer that would exactly
flush with the phone if it was plugged into your headphone jack you know what'd
be really cool is if they made a barometer that could tell you how big
they are what a barometer uh
wow wow
wow logitech bought uh scitec from cut
logic nope they only make phones now
phones and headsets uh logitech bought scitec from madcatz this is awesome
yeah i am excited yeah
you can say why you're excited first um well okay we have a review
we both like flight sticks we don't have enough time to spend with them because i
like all kinds of sticks jesus put my hands around them like this i
have a review on the warthog and you have a review on a scitec system
i don't remember exactly which one uh x52 x52
and i'm happy because i think logitech will do more
with it okay if most people just go this way
yeah i i mean i didn't say i was good at this i liked them
right uh so anyway so why i'm excited about this is there are things that
scitec the division of mad okay there are
things that mad cats does well
and there are things that scitec used to do well before they were acquired by mad
cats like um you know actually making
these products for crying out loud like actually making joysticks because that's
not that i mean it used to be that you know other than
thrustmaster and scitec there were
actual brands that microsoft used to make them yeah logitech used to have
them like and then it just died along with the
space sim um along with the space sam and microsoft's flight simulator and
like yeah so there's stuff that scitec did well
and then there's stuff that logitech does well which is make
a good idea which is what scitec had
and uh mad cats owned
um so take a good idea and a product people want to buy and make sure that
the quality of it is good and that it lasts for a long time so i would be
really really excited to see what kind of scitec products we see
with some kind of care and attention
given to making them feel good and last
a long time and operate well
uh this will hopefully line up with like the g29 and g920 the the driving force
steering wheels which i reviewed a while back and were actually like really awesome
just saying you should go check out that review they're really cool yeah and i
told you i brought the obato to the office now right so the plan i think what Jake wanted to
do was uh set it up in the vr room like we might end up just taking all the
furniture out of there i want you know yeah something like that having one like
small bench could be helpful yeah or even one couch
um like or like a lovely one like one chair or something like that i think
would be would be pretty cool because having a viewer for whatever you're doing is nice yeah but we don't need
like that giant thing yeah um and having no butter in that one like nook corner
thing yeah is would be awesome that'd be perfect so i'm i'm super excited about
this i'm not a logitech fanboy i just have a certain amount of respect for
building products that are designed to last and logitech seems to generally
care about that for the most part yeah um all right google maps can show how
much you are speeding
up so the original article here is from rs technica
and users report that a speed limit sign is showing up in the bottom corner of
google maps it's about time because this has been a feature on other gps programs
for quite some time and is something that i personally am
often curious about and don't understand why i need to
like look at signs for anymore in the modern digital age very cool
that's probably about all we got to say for that there's no like
uh it's just random user reports apparently nothing official so google
hasn't stated anything this is not surprising they do this all the time they're probably a blog post once it's
much more ubiquitous across their platform you probably only roll it out to a very small percentage so it's a
server-side switch but the code started showing up in google maps 9.35
yeah so yeah i'm excited i wish it would also tell you how fast you're going but i
understand why they don't do that like i don't know you probably haven't been
driving long enough but when i first started driving those uh those radar
things those displays on the side of the road that tell you how fast you're going
when you're in a construction zone or a school zone or whatever else they didn't have a cap on them
so people would blow past them to clock themselves
um yeah so now when you're going no i
definitely remember that okay that was the thing now when you're going more than 20 over it just says too fast slow
down yeah um so i understand why they don't
necessarily want to put that in because for the same reason that that they don't
build in tools to like tell you how much you beat the original estimated time by
um i think my record is like 15 minutes on
a 55 minute drive or something like that but you have to do it manually you have
to do it yourself if you want to know things like that um but that's why they
don't build that in because they don't want to encourage people to speed
um yeah
oh well here's a here's an interesting uh
here's an interesting article oh yeah microsoft crashes google's latest chrome
battery life claims so this is a video that they actually um
ran a little while ago and that uh i'm still working on it and i can
talk about it openly okay that we are working on replicating to find out if
this is actually true or not there's problems with this whole deal and a lot
of them revolve around Windows 10 just being like
a little this might be the wrong word for it
yeah crazy it'll just do like nutsoid things dr
jekyll mr hyde yeah um like we've got four identical machines yeah we have
tried to run these tests i like tweeted about it at some point and basically
luke's run into everything under the side so many different problems and like
these are all the same machine
huh all running at the same time with the same software installed the same
settings everything oh you're like channeling dennis there a little bit yeah
and they'll be different by many hours with the same browser doing
the same thing so that's the thing is we're trying to do just the control yeah
i'm all running the same browser many hours different same laptop same
browser exactly same load they'll be watching a youtube video
same programs installed same things running which is like essentially
nothing one of them will ask for like i think i was doing google chrome but
not this update of it and it's not the exact same load that they have here and
it's not the exact same laptop so don't worry too much about comparing it to the numbers that we just saw but i think it
was like three and a half hours two of them lasted for about three and a half
hours yeah and then two exactly the same laptops as the other
ones we were just looking at would last for like five hours and 15 minutes i was
just like what is going on yeah i'm i'm picturing the
jackie chan meme but like my head is full of blue yeah yeah
exactly i just what i don't know i'm gonna do like
full reformats on all of them and i think what i'm gonna have to do is
like completely disable all of like Windows defender and firewall and like
everything that Windows can properly have there was a problem lately where if
you had sound enhancements enabled
um even even if none of the boxes were checked if you had none of the sound
enhancements on but you had the sound enhancements enabled it could take up
like 20 of your CPU at a time or some crap like that like oh my god so
uh yeah i don't know it's a nightmare right now
but hopefully we will have our own benchmarks of that eventually
great british scientists have developed a cheaper unbreakable touch screen for
smartphones the original article here is from news.coma
have you posted i have not got it i have not posted a
thing so i already hate it i hate it so much i think they're stupid and liars
and i'm angry cool they said unbreakable
i'm getting really tired of this crap it's really starting to piss me off
oh our device is waterproof uh yes you
do a whole bunch more research and find from like a third party that's like ip67
it's not waterproof it's not the right word so much anger unbreakable is
i guarantee you if the us was like yup we'll nuke it it wouldn't be
there anymore god
stop it i just like someone in the chat said triggered yes i think these words
are literally getting to the point where they're starting to like mentally
trigger me whenever i see someone that's like uh yes our battery bank is
waterproof i'm just like like i think they should like be fined
fairly significant amounts of money because it's actually just completely
maybe that's why he doesn't take pictures of you because you do that
he's very unhelpful unbreakable why are you taking all these
pictures around the oh you're reviewing that camera yeah oh it's kind of
cheating to take all of your pictures in like a studio with studio lights
you're not just doing this when he was in my office he took a picture that's definitely not studio lights but anyways
okay i think they should actually genuinely be fined because they're uh
misleading information about their products i think so too they're probably they're lying
about their products the problem is who's going to oversee this
there there are organizations for this in the states they're just not doing it they're just not doing it yes they have
like bigger fish to fry yeah so basically they're underfunded and
undermanned but if they could figure out a way but they should just hire fines going a bunch of like not as well paid
employees that just hunt these like battery companies and like
that and just wreck all of them until they all just stop
and then that would be good because like i'm i'm really tired of it your battery
bank is not waterproof which chat is just like trigger trigger trigger
trigger i am though it's oh man it
pisses me off all right so it's reportedly a fifth of
the cost of current touch screens and then i have no idea
what this is supposed to oh 14
australian dollars compared to 70 australian dollars a square meter for
indium tin oxide and this technology could be rolled out as soon as 2018. so
currently the electrodes and touch screens are made from indium tin oxide
but the supplies are slowly running out because that's what humans do and so
they're searching for the next electrically conductive material that could be used by manufacturers until we
use up all of that so scientists in britain have been looking at hybrid
materials that can conduct electricity and using a simple and inexpensive
method they're producing hybrid electrodes from silver nanowires and
graphene so okay once if this gets released in anything
can we get it and can i do like a tech racks level
video where i just destroyed the thing and then just like end it with
like screw you and then just like move on i feel like
this now you're going to remember and you're going to actually do it i will
it's up to you okay no no nothing is ever up to me
oh straw pool it is up to the viewers because i okay so to explain a little
bit i'm going to go back in conversations that microsoft web browser
test thing the reason why we're doing it is because i want to start a video
series where we i don't remember exactly what it was called i think we were going to call it manufacturers say yeah
going back to like memes from a long time ago yeah um but i'm old it was it
was basically testing claims of manufacturers and the reason why i
thought of doing this kind of thing was making my battery bank videos in mexico
because i think every single brand except for shiro lied
right which is like insane and it brings back that same thing from before where
like everyone uses click bait because everyone has to use click bait right
because they wouldn't be able to sell because everyone else is lying yeah and
shiro saying water resistant looks worse
than the other people saying waterproof even though the other people are lying
okay well apparently no one thinks that i'm right
or five percent all right you win
so go ahead you get to break the first uh bone in 2018 or whatever whenever
yeah whenever it actually happens maybe you could put an arrow through it
sweet no it's been done marcus did it with the sapphire glass
okay is that his name marcus yeah yeah it's marcus or marquez
or marquez brownlee yeah oh i thought i saw what you're talking about tech rack
oh no yeah okay no marcus okay yeah yeah
um
yeah i don't know i just that stuff really pisses me off this is great
fbi director cover up your webcam with a piece of
tape love it original article here from msn.com they
sell little plastic flip cover things for it they're actually pretty nice
check that out oh do you have one uh i'm it's literally been ordered already but
i don't have it yet interesting so uh james comey defended putting a piece of
tape over his personal laptop's webcam claims the security step was a common
sense one that most should take many ASUS laptops have um slidey covers
the little you've seen that right yep it's like a mechanical switch
i don't think they have them anymore really yeah i think it's because your old one has it right yeah yeah i think
it's less common now yeah um so there you go yeah mom and dad that
laptop that you know have use the little things so the quote is there are some
there's some sensible things you should be doing and that's one of them you do
that so people who don't have the authority don't look at you i think
that's a good thing fair enough man cool
apparently someone from an oil company
quest integrity group tried to impersonate elon musk by making
an email account elon elon tesla
yahoo.com and then sent an email to tesla's cfo
asking for non-public information
like company sales and financial projections what the hell
oh yeah this will totally work i'll make it elon tesla yahoo.com
i mean you can tell he's old because he uses yahoo
yeah but oh man that's hilarious
come on it's like just just a random email from
from elon hey yeah could i get some uh
you know some uh financial projections
that would be good if you can just email those to me right now if you could if
you could email them at yahoo yeah then uh yeah you know i don't want to use the
google because uh yahoo sounds more credible somehow yeah
says elon musk says elon musk that's wonderful
uh oh this is a rumor so the original article here is from overclock3d.net
there are leaked supposed gtx
ti specifications
so hypothetically it'll be somewhere between the 1080 and the titan x
uh it'll be very close to the titan x and it will have
slightly fewer cuda cores slightly fewer sms
uh it'll have blah blah blah 384 bit bus 12 gigs RAM
no gdr5x no gddr5x oh interesting well there's
where a lot of the cost savings is coming from i wonder if that's a big part of the reason why titan x is so
expensive mm-hmm this 1080 is also a lot more expensive
than 1070 and it's like 12 gigs of it ah then
again oh no maybe not that probably math probably doesn't work for that anyway apparently it is clocked higher though
and has the same TDP so we can expect
then that much like with the original titan x and the 980 ti that the titan xp
and the 1080 ti are actually going to end up performing very very similarly
because if it's clocked if it has fewer functional units and it's they're able
to clock it a little higher out of the box it'll probably boost a little higher too
so it wouldn't surprise me if basically anyone who bought a titan x is going to
be crying um once the 1080 ti gets
released but i mean that's the price you pay for being on the bleeding edge like i get it
um and you should get it too
yep that's kind of how that goes i think i think i brought something up about
that in the titan xp review but i don't remember
i don't remember either that was a very blurry time in my life it was with the
whole work occasion and like people hating it i have a new idea for
christmas bonus this year titan xp
i have heard yes it's cool um
oh okay well keep it to yourself
no uh i know oh uh okay
uh uh moving on
ah what else we got you know what i think that's pretty much it everything
else in here is pretty boring apple japan ordered to pay 118 million in tax
for under reporting income surprise surprise um so they're mad
japan's mad apple's probably mad everyone's mad so
yeah everyone's angry i'm not mad i don't care maybe apple japan heard
someone wait apple japan is the one that's mad right i think everyone's mad
probably oh it's like when you don't everyone told each other that the
devices were waterproof and they were just like they're just all
triggered now you don't understand how that works yeah yeah that is probably exactly how
it went down and on that completely intelligible note
we bid you uh yeah same bat time same bat channel next week
you can't just keep carrying more cameras there is a limit
i don't know you might find a way i think there is yeah i think brandon's
musculature is different than normal people i've i've like observed this over
doing shows with him he can carry large amounts of weight for ridiculous amounts
of time just not up a mountain no he did uh yeah actually he did
technically he got all the way yeah not in time to film anything mind you no but
he got all the way
