is that okay we're live actually now I was like we're going live now and then
Nick was like got prepared to actually be live and then I was like uh uh uh not
not quite yet anyways welcome to the show uh I will be hosting as sick today
and Nick will be hosting as tired today so we're sick and
tired yes
accomplished joke goal made anyways we have some great topics uh if I can
scroll back up that would be awesome ryzen 5 News specs all that fun stuff is
coming that'll be good very good pricing good minimum specs good other people
here sick anyways Microsoft actively blocking Windows 7 8 8.1 updates on kbl
lake and ryzen systems can you stop also V uh vulcan's
multi-GPU muscle now requires Windows 10
as well just in case you didn't like
Windows 10 they're going to try to make you like Windows 10 and uh hopefully
people like me will be actively very
intensely looking into how they can switch their whole platform into a basis
on Linux because I'm trying to bail that
will maybe be a bigger trying bail Windows I'm trying to bail on Windows
I'm trying real hard to bail on Windows I'm trying to figure out how I can do
like over like over motherboard instead
of over network streaming of like games and stuff so I can play most my games
natively in Linux but streamed from a Windows VM and like games that aren't on
Steam because steam is the only one that's going to handle any of this well
I'll have to just like run through a VM but I'm sort of maybe want to use unraid
but unraid might not even be the best solution for but yeah but I want the
only thing I ever do on Windows to be launching and playing games that's it
nothing else so essentially macOS for
life raw the
intro
what freshbook we don't have music we have my
voice and we also have Squarespace
no guess we're backom is correct so that's good um
let's start with ryzen 5 so there was actually a
leak slightly before uh yeah quote unquote leak
slightly before this whole thing was
like officially announced there was a leak I will show you guys I have to
click on Linus's screen screen which is weird cuz it's not his screen PC Master
race subreddit there was a I believe this is Guru 3D article let me scroll in
there yeah um talking about ryzen 5 but
this isn't super important anymore because whatever dude let me go back to
No guest we have actual
announcements so if we go to AMD.com and go to their press release page that's
even more fun there we go you can see the whole
chart for it ryzen 5 you've got the 1600x the 1600 the 1500 X and the,
1400 the lineup here is actually pretty sick six cores 12 threads I believe it's
like about half the price as the previous one maybe give or take a little
bit I don't remember exactly how much the previous one is at 200 this one's at
$250 six cores 12 threads 3.6 GHz base
clock 4 GHz boost clock for 250 bucks is
actually pretty wicked kind of nuts I've been interested in the ryzen 5 lineup
the whole time because looking at the stuff that we already have um the 1080p
performance was not as great as other things and I think with the processors
that we already have it doesn't really matter that much yeah CU if you're
buying that tier of Hardware you're probably not gaming at 1080p you're
probably shooting for high or gaming isn't the only thing that you're doing
that too yeah so either either you're not that worried about it and you're
running workloads that are more related to things like cine bench where it's
going to be using all them cores and you're just going to rock out anyways or
you're shooting above 1080p so the performance numbers at higher resolution
was really what you're looking at and then you're in great shape with the ryzen 5 stuff it's going to be more
interesting again uh it's me so I'm not
going to really care too much until we get on a bench here and try it ourselves
but now the 1080p performance is going to really come out strong but the fact
that you can get a four core 8 thread processor at 3.2 GHz base and 3.4 GHz
boost for $169 is pretty wicked or you can bump
that up by a little bit get 3.7 GHz on
the Boost clock for $189 that's only $20
more it's a pretty tight product stack this is actually really interesting cuz
like when ryzen 7 was announced I saw
the pricing and I was like wow if their top end lineup has a chip at 329 like
are they going to price themselves out of the lower end entire like how are
they going to do that and it just it I think their whole stack is just really
tight yeah really really minor increments you pay like 20 30 bucks more
and you get a better processor so then I guess that's you know that's kind of
awesome actually because then price of performance actually becomes a conversation again yes instead of like
okay here's where it slots into the price stack so here's exactly where it's
slotting into the performance stack and we can pretty much estimate where everything's is going to be before we
even have it like which is so boring just just so like I like especially from
the reviewer side of things that is incredibly boring when you know you have
a shipment coming in and you know exactly what it is and you're like K
well I know the conclusion of this video already this FPS and this game because
it's priced at that yeah it's pretty lame it's pretty boring but it's going
to be nice to actually have the conversation of like hey if you have
$169 to get a400 if you get 100 you know is it $169
yeah um is it worth saving that extra 20 bucks and getting
a500x that's a conversation now that is a really and like one thing that I'm
excited for is not just like build
guides but like recommended builds are going to be way more interesting now
because instead of like oh well you have that budget I guess just buy this stuff
cuz you know cookie cutter builds or what everything is right now we'll have
a way wider range of things that you can do with your build you can specify more
specifics like wow great specify your
specifics for specificity but like if you're sticking only at 1080p for like
only certain games that aren't taking advantage of multicore then you go with
one thing if you're if you're going to stay at 1080p but you're not gaming
you're doing workstation stuff then you want something else entirely and it's
just I don't know it's actually really cool so very exciting time and build
suggestions will include things like
monitors which is cool cool I don't know
I like that I like how uh on the press
release there's cautionary statement and it's like super long okay let me let me
scroll down where is this wow what the heck is it the longest
section that they have yeah this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro
Devices Inc informational purposes only and may the features functionality
available timing ex benefits it's like
literally half the freaking page yep
but almost not not quite but that's the society we live in man please don't sue
us for things we'd really like it if you didn't we're just trying to say cool
stuff about the processors we're just trying to give you guys cool processors
please did you hear okay this is slightly a bit of an aside but uh I
don't think you guys necessarily saw this because this one wasn't streamed
but I did a question and answers thing with Intel at Pax E and A guy came on
stage with a ryzen hat nice that was that was epic that was fun I
was I was very happy everyone at Intel was cool with it which I thought was
cool an Intel person like helped him escorted him on stage and everything
like they were all cool with it um we roasted him a little bit it was fun he
got the one like Intel specific question uh wrong which he defended with like
well it makes sense and I was like okay yeah that's fine um although you should
know about your the people that you don't like too to justify the things
that you do like but whatever don't worry about it it's cool blind fanboyism
is the way the world works also you know what's fun is
because that conversation happened right after Rison now there's going to be all the comments of like uh Intel just pays
them to talk about Intel whenever there's a ryzen
topic oh man I'm triggered yeah I'm
super happy I well okay I guess I should say super excited for ryzen 5 to come
out specifically just because of what we were just talking about that's that's
yes that is the line that it's going to start a new conversation well not a new
conversation but a conversation that we haven't been able to have for what like four years five years at a
minimum so like I don't know if you
remember this too much but the like 8350
versus what was it like I'm assuming 3500k but Intel
changes their product names all 3570 the like high-end I5 from that time I I
think so yeah yeah I can't I don't remember the exact pairing that the war
was but there was this giant freaking War back when we were in the garage I
think that Sandy Bridge no it was just after that I think it was 3,000 Ser
anyways that was super intense and like
it was fun being a reviewer cuz all the other reviewers are releasing like oh
man we tried this like different Benchmark and it came out this way and
this processor is way freaking better and we're like oh my goodness we need to
try this but like with our own types of
are represented in this onef set or like
maybe these guys are running a different version of Windows and this version of
Windows plays more nicely with this specific processor chipset or whatever
like man that was fun it's it's been
it's been a little boring not to
like yeah it just sort of has everything just it's been less exciting than it
could have been there we go yeah there's the proper PR answer but we're getting
there yeah so ryzen 5 will hopefully put us back into like that oh my God yeah
State and I'm I'm really excited for something we also haven't experienced
for a while you go on like pcrr pcmr subreddit and stuff and you see everyone
like oh ten came out to pictures of pulling the thing off yeah I bought a
really expensive piece of Hardware one thing that'll be nice about ryzen 5 is
uh like look I made this very price
performance optimized rig for exactly
what I want to do this totally makes sense for what I want to do and I'm
really proud of this system in general that's super cool that's like what I've
always really liked about computers it's always fun to have the like Halo product
Lamborghini effect everyone wants to look at the super sick processor or the
super sick graphics card that has always been a thing the first time I started
working here and lonus handed me to like I think it was
580s I was like holy crap there's always
that moment but still it's cool to see what people can like be proud of and
come up with in terms of different build decisions and stuff like that and for a
while it's been a little cookie cutter anyways moving on to a topic that
depresses me quite a bit uh Microsoft is
actively blocking Windows 7 8 and 8.1
updates on kbl lake and ryzen systems in
an effort to get you to upgrade to Windows 10 updates on Legacy versions of
Windows 78 and 8.1 are not supported on
new chips like Intel 7th eration or newer AMD Bristol Ridge or newer
including ryzen and Qualcomm
8996 or newer this is a post from RS
Technica and this just yeah it legitimately makes me really sad because
this is a very lame way to push people
forward and absolutely
unneeded yeah it's like there's there's some Fair statements in here using
Windows 7 on these latest systems is already awkward in many situations the
operating system has no built-in support for usb3 or NVMe while neither hurdle is
insurmountable at all that's a really important statement
within this article they're like very easy to overcome issues like not that
big of a deal installing Windows 7 at the very beginning can sometimes be a
little bit rough cuz those USB 3 drivers and stuff like that but almost every
board has at least two USB ports ports you can get going with your keyboard and
mouse you can get those usb3 drivers installed and everything's fine um
Counterpoint yeah maybe this is you know
the sign that soon will'll only have
usb3 drives or ports ports yeah yeah you
know yeah so maybe there's a positive to it Luke you don't have to be such a
pessimist all the time embrace your Microsoft overlords my
my motherboard has a PS2 them because
I'm that kind of guy yeah but that's cuz you're just like a weird hipster douche
sometimes I'll take that that's
okay we just released the analog
video there's no way I would be able to get away with
that oh man yeah it's a it's a thing
sometimes that's another thing noted in the RS article though is that installing
Windows 8.1 is a relatively smooth sailing experience um and with KB lak's
overwhelming similarity Sky Lake dropping support does feel rather
unnecessary I have very relent releasing I have very recently installed Windows
8.1 on a few different systems yeah zero
issues right no matter what tier of processor I was using and I used a
fairly wide range do you think um not
too crazy I didn't go way too far back but like still do you think there'll be
something like a Windows 9 that gets around this somehow or is this like no
because Windows 9 is Windows 9 is very
technically just Windows 8.1 okay with like some skin mods on it that make it
look like Windows 7 so the name should actually be like Windows 8.5 or
something if you want to call it or like Windows 7.5 or some there
yes sure I like it so anyway this is too
much of like a Baseline change to have someone be able to come in and hack it
out or whatever yeah I don't think that's really going to happen all right
uh not with not with Windows but if you did something like Linux you could make
your own fork and make it work yeah but then you have to actually do things yeah
I don't like doing things that's that's that's fair that's fair yeah I will
hopefully if I can get everything working to the degree that I want it to
which like to give some background for this I am very much not a fan of Windows
10 um I stream a fair amount and I've
been having a lot of issues using Windows 10 compared to using previous
versions of Windows so I and then like
all the Telemetry data steing all your stuff and like all the things that have
been happening around that lately I just don't want to deal with it anymore I
don't need everything in my entire life
to be Cloud connected all the time and I would rather just connect to services
when I need to connect to them it's it's really not that big of a deal for me to
not have Cortana constantly running and not really be able to be properly
disabled and having it reenable itself and all that kind of stuff yep super
annoying so I personally want to try moving to Linux but I still need my
Windows for certain things that just aren't going to run on window on Linux
very well um so I have a lot of work ahead of me I
want to use Synergy okay to make it so
that my mouse can go across systems
super super easily and one keyboard and mouse that I can never really tell that
I'm using two different systems and one monitor will just be Windows and one
monitor will be Linux and I want to be able to like transfer everything back
and forth and have everything work beautifully um but yeah that's that's a
long ways coming don't expect this video anytime soon might not even end up
making the video it's just going to be my personal setup I would like to but
that would probably involve hauling my rig to work so maybe not fun because amethyst
falling off and stuff would be bad that would not be good it's happened twice
amethysts have fallen that there's one update for my personal Rak amethysts
have fallen twice both times for when I moved the system the first time was
moving my system to my house the second time was moving my system from the desk
that it was at to a new desk so like
those are all just going to fall off within like the next few months I don't think I
don't think all of them the only ones that fell fell off didn't have very good
connections because I had to mount them to a thin rail like if this is the
amethyst Rock I had to mount them to a thin rail here yeah all the ones that
had a flat wall are sticking quite well to the point where I can like grab it
and kind of pull on it a little bit and it's staying there um but like the ones
that are above where like the heat sink are and stuff those are sketchy because
I mounted those on the fan bracket for if you wanted to install a radiator in
the top okay so if I can maybe find some
other way to mount them up there they'll be fine but yeah everything else has
been fine it's just the ones that are above like the CPU heat sink that have
been an issue uh moving on so this is Chrome 57
wanting to throttle background tabs to save energy do you want to do the Vulcan
thing or no the Vulcan thing did I miss something I did vulcan's multi-GPU
muscle so this kind of ties into the Windows 10 topic yes also requires
Windows 10 so Vulcan will only support multiple gpus in Windows 10 dropping
Windows 7 8 8.1 operating systems uh
Native multi-GPU support for NVIDIA GeForce SLI and AMD radon Crossfire
setups will now require wddm to be set
to linked display adapter mode something that is exclusive to Windows 10 so I
talked about this a little bit um I
didn't talk about the requirement for Windows 10 right but I talked about like
the different modes like uh LDA M or
link display adapter mode LDA all this other kind of stuff in the WTF is going
on with SLI video if you want to check that out I can't point in the corner cuz
this isn't going to be edited it's live show I I just got the like physical
reaction that I was like referencing a video and I need to go like this cuz
like just shoving your fingers up to the my left is like just what happens
whenever I reference a video um but yeah if you want to learn more about like
link display adapter modes and like all that other weird stuff that is happening
with weird and actually very cool stuff that's currently happening with uh
multiple graphics cards check out the WTF is going on with s live video and if
that intrigues you and you're like I want to Deep dive into more things check
out WTF is going on with dx12 and Vulcan
which is actually still a very valid video which I'm happy about even with
current information it's very valid there's some things that have been like refined slightly but not even that much
we're pretty much in the exact same spot we were at before game developers are
not building things from the ground up with Vulcan dx12 they're starting with
dx11 and then like converting things over and it's not being properly
optimized and none of it really matters yet but Luke you didn't test on Vulcan
in dx12 so obviously your methology is flawed I am so happy that that's done I
am so happy that people have stopped that that was freaking
nuts oh my God fun times oh my God you guys are
shills cuz you didn't use this thing that is
broken uh people are fun okay now actually
moving on to Chrome 57 Chrome 57 will throttle background tabs to save energy
after 10 seconds of being in the background um not in Focus I guess
because you could have a bunch of M uh monitors it will drop its uh performance
by a little bit H so like I wonder how
that's going to affect the performance of stuff like
YouTube music or like twitch streams where a lot of people
where you know any of those where a lot of people will be you know doing their
work on their main monitor or whatever and they'll have like music in a
different tab or a video playing in a different tab so uh 1% of CPU is still a
fair amount yeah I would be interested to see how this works for like lower-end
laptops and stuff like that
um but I don't know it's it's going to
be interesting one thing that I'm hoping is they they specifically wanted people
to start using service workers um
because service workers will be able to better manage this I'm just hoping that
it's a little bit intelligent sure like
if basically twitch streams is the biggest thing I'm worried about because
uh the the majority of people that I know that watch Twitch streams do not
have that twitch stream as their main
hazy probably Nick probably sending emails
oring on other various things uh just like doing other things at home yeah EXA
yeah maybe not even at your computer necessarily I I don't even watch that
much twitch streams but if I do I'm usually also playing a game yeah and
it's often like about the game I'm playing because I'm like hm I wonder if
other people are experiencing this thing I really like that about twitch I can
just be like hm I have a weird in this section let me go check out a few other
people playing the same game see if they're having the same thing um
everyone watches Twitch in their own way I'm sure there's people watching right
now that have this selected as their main window but like I also know there's
a huge percentage of people that don't do that um and on some devices that 1%
CPU limit thing might actually come into play there so I just to do like a live
test um I opened up Edge and just opened
up our stream on Source quality and it's the max it was at was 0.3% of CPU usage
but this is a blade yeah so like yeah
it's not going to use much CPU on this computer um if you're using like a Dell
from 2005 it might kind of screw you up a
little bit yeah that might hurt that might legitimately hurt it's it's going
to really depend device per device I don't think this is going to Warrant
like a video but I think it would be a really cool Forum thread if you guys
start once this is out if you guys start
discussing like the different effects on your usage and your computer I think
that could be pretty cool gun run says use the desktop app yeah actually hey
gun run I haven't done this yet but I'm really interested I think you get it
from downloads. twitch.com can you check that real quick just to make sure yeah I
guess I can too download or TV oh probably TV yeah
my bad no is that not it gun run will
probably post the problem one yeah just post the link in the chat gun run
whenever you have it um also the desktop app looks super cool though some people
are saying Firefox Master race um I
haven't used Firefox in months cuz the last time I did it was like the biggest
I was a major Fanboy didn't I loved Firefox and then it just stopped working
six months ago there app. twitch.tv/ twitch the Twitch app there you
go this is a public server anyway we
should do this later because we're show but um that could be something for sure
that would be cool because then Chrome isn't going to meter you uh I used to be
a giant Firefox Fanboy and I don't even use it anymore Firefox was great and
then it wasn't anymore like I don't know what else to say it just like stopped
working entirely for me I think I think a lot of that had to do with Chrome or
Google in general I guess pulling their support cuz Firefox used to just
like lavish in the Google money by being
like yes Google will be our default search engine yeah and now they don't
make nearly as much from that and then I think the reaction to that was to expand
and try to do other things um and I
don't think that worked out for them super well I could be wrong I know they
asked something for the Recently someone in the chat says it won't throttle media
but I'm searching for media in this
article and I do not see anywhere where it mentions not throttling media um
video no no mention of it so I know it
very specifically mentioned like jscript stuff JavaScript stuff um so maybe it
won't throttle media maybe this is all a conversation for not but if that's not
carved out it could be a potential issue for sure yeah and again like I said
discuss this on the Forum once it comes out try playing media stuff see if you
can find a site or a computer that won't
play very nicely with different things cuz it's not new and it's old and slow
and stuff um and see if you can get it over 1% in a background tab with media
if it doesn't throttle it then there you go we've solved that problem figured it
out I don't think there's going to be that many things that this is solving
though if it's not throttling media yeah I
really person to be fair there are a lot
of sites that have like ads and other
crap that use up lot of your CPU but
this doesn't help a lot of people that run like ad blocker and all that stuff
it's just inhibiting them potentially
um yeah I don't know it's it's going to
be weird speaking of how can I speaking
of uh the the dumbest thing I've ever read in the last forever this is
hilarious uh apparently a very close I
hope it's not us uh apparently a very close us Ally uh shot down probably
us have you like read the Drone regulations out here it's pretty nice
they're so stupid it's pretty nuts it's like you can't fly over like 100 feet or
something you can't be within like this many kilometers of a a a roadway or a
school or a an airport like and obviously airport makes sense but like
if you look in a Canadian and specifically BC drone regulations like
everything else BC is like the dumbest place to live in terms of legislation
yeah um they're so stupid BC has been
described as the wild wild west of North American politics yeah BC's also been
well Vancouver specifically has also been described as no fun city because
our legislators are like so overbearing
yeah so anyways a a very close it is
said to be very close I know the title doesn't say that but it said to be very close uh us Ally shot down a $200 drone
with a $3 million Patriot missile I don't think um Mexico has snow so very
close is probably oh no
it's us okay I don't know if that's like an actual photo of it happening though
it's us it's well that's very true but
then I would question the accuracy of this article no I'm just kidding anyway
let's get on to it um uh one one thing that was was great is he said that it
did a really fantastic job the Drone is
definitely no longer flying so like
there you go mission accomplished we can all go home that's good um he said the
it was a gut instinct he said that's an air defense problem because they're in
the air so they shot it with a gigantic 3 million doll missile cuz they're in
the air um one thing that was interesting was it was stated like if
we're going to have these types of reactions to drones I'm I'm paraphrasing
a little bit one of the easiest ways to like fight against North American Allies
would just be to fly really cheap drones everywhere and have them shoot them with
$3 million missiles then you just bleed them
financially commenting on the return on investment he said if I'm the enemy I'm
thinking hey I'm going to go on eBay and buy as many of these $300 quadcopters as
I can and expend all the Patriot missiles out
there yep yeah that would be a pretty good plan that's like when you're
playing red alert and you use like a really low tier unit to run really close
to the tank and then the tank shoots and it blows itself up really effective
really good strategy red 2 good game
believe that works with Siege tanks as well Starcraft 2 nobody plays it anymore
that's fine moving on
um I just thought that was hilarious that was in the dock I don't like
we probably don't have anything else to say there yeah like this is not the
scope of this show it's just funny how dumb how dumb there's drone in the title
so we were like whatever we'll talk about it um Google is looking into
revamping ad policies after big brands boyc caught so this is not surprising
they've already moved in this
direction um this was a freak out from
not that long ago where a whole bunch of
uh different YouTubers were saying that YouTube is like oh they're going to shut
us down and all this kind of stuff um oh
for like the demonetization based on certain tags and all that stuff that was
happening a while ago yeah yeah and this
like there there's there's this is a really long kind of not wall of text
because it's paragraphed but like the notes in here are talking about how
different like taxpayer funded ads would
be going before extremists or people
that are sexist or whatever the UK
government found out that their PSA ads were appearing before videos uploaded by
to quote rape apologists anti-semites
and banned hate preachers um so this
means that those people are getting money from UK taxpayers uh some others
were affected like British supermarket chain J J Sansbury pick that's like the
most British name for y hello this is
Jay Sansbury pick I help you
today hello Governor wow you want a SP
oh jeez we just lost all of our British fans sick
uh they appeared on videos posted by the white nationalist polish Defense League
the garden and L'Oreal ads appeared next to extremist and hatefield videos in
response Google announced changes in ad policy to give clients more control over
where their ads appear in YouTube and the Google Display Network would appear in the coming weeks so gun run was like
banned sorry I just glanced over and saw that that was fantastic
so already got my tee says someone uh
the the question then is how do they
ensure that this isn't going to essentially blur the lines of Comedy
which is something that's been happening lately a lot with the whole PewDiePie
thing um so is the advertising policy
going to make a determination between what is held as a joke and what is held
as someone's opinion how are they supposed to make those determinations
obviously that's an extremely difficult thing to do um so yeah it's just
anytime obviously there has to be you
know limit set in place once YouTube or something like like YouTube gets to the
the level that it's at now where it's so huge that these giant brands are
advertising they have to do something they have to do something about a lot of
the content that goes on the platform and there's different like just to jerp
in here for a second if you have like a late night comedy special and it gets a
little racy and you say some kind of edgy stuff that's great but you have
late night TV ads going with that
there's certain brands that aren't going to want to go on your edgy comedy
special totally on this is talking about like TV stuff and I completely get it if
I was an Advertiser I wouldn't want my ads going on certain videos I understand
that I think it's going to take a lot of
work on YouTube's end to make this and
work well the concerning part is look what happened with the like copyright
claim system on YouTube for however many years yeah that should have taken a lot
of work instead they were like automate
it yeah screw them automate it so if
they take the same kind of approach which I'm not necessarily saying that they're going to do um it could turn out
to be you know very concerning for some creators because there are creators out
there who do take that kind of um very
rash approach to Comedy um that that could be perceived
as hate speech and all that stuff so um
just and that's that's just like to the people that are doing just edgy comedy
stuff this might be a time for not that
I'm in necessarily a position to till you had to run your company but this
might be a time to reach out and try to do other things to make money try to
diversify your income no being a YouTuber is scary sometimes policy
changes happen and you can just lose everything from under you it's crazy so
before this comes in and you potentially get flagged to someone that they don't
want um like having ads going through
your channel for these different brands maybe try to figure it out and I'm sure
maybe start selling some edgy shirts man people like edgy shirts I'm sure that
it's not going to be like a blanket policy I'm sure that it's like they're
saying if we can go by what's been said so far it seems like pretty extreme
extreme cases there's going to be dashboard applications where advertisers
can kind of specify what they want and as long as it all gets implemented like
that I think it's great because what that does is it lends confidence to the
platform it gives these larger Brands you know more peace of mind that they're
advertising on stuff that they would want associated with their brand and it
just grows the entire industry because that's something that you know we've
been working on for the last however many years now is like legitimizing the
industry and it's finally sort of getting to that point um another weird
way to look at it is it might even be better for the other side because if
you're on YouTube and you're really really into watching your white
nationalist thing you might not want to watch an ad for a company that supports
all these things that you don't like J sales's PLC maybe you don't like that
Supermarket I don't I don't I don't know I this could be better for everyone I
don't know potentially I hope I hope it is it's a weird way of looking at it um
so Nitro corrected me in the chat apparently it's not pick it's not pic
it's PLC uh which stands for public limited company which I didn't know up
here we call him LTDs or corporations or inks
inks inks um so they just call it sabes s
sabes sainsbury that's still like sainsbury that's still the most British
Supermarket ever British at least to
us who are we to talk about we're not exactly an authority we go to the the
good old Real Canadian Superstore we're going to go get some
some cheese it's literally called The Real Canadian Superstore and we're going
to get some potatoes and we're going to put them all together and make some
Putin have you guys ever seen okay
pronounce Putin what the heck was
that I don't know if you guys know this we're going to go off topic here for a
second but um different brands will
differentiate their like American and Canadian branches just by like hiding
little Maple Leafs in their marketing and one of the easiest ones to tell wend
is with Wendy's and you can see it cuz like the
apostrophe you see that it's just a little Maple
Leaf and that's a super Canadian thing we're we're not going to we're not going
to stand out too much we're not going to try to hurt anybody's feelings oh we
just we just want the apostrophe if you can just make the apostrophe a little
Maple Leaf would just be so happy that's all we need after we go out there and
play some stick and Puck um you know we're going to go down to the good old
Wendy's we're going to get ourselves a Canadian burger and I don't even know
what this accent is it's like half like it's a little weird it's like it's like
half like Southern half Ontarian like half Norwegian sure yeah throw that one
in there anyway um speaking of which if you want
to watch a I'm just going to throw a recommendation in here hilarious series
uh maybe if you're 18 and above cuz they Ed some like harsh language and other
various things but letter Kenny it's about like Canadian Hicks is that
actually funny okay it requires a certain sense of
humor but I find it entertaining cuz I watched like they started on YouTube
right yeah so I watched like a couple other things and it's like it's very
different some of it's funny it just feels like they're like making the same
jokes over and over and over and over and over again uh if you're watching
letter Kenny problems uh maybe I don't which is like the series that's on
YouTube which I think is like 1 through six episodes of like just them standing
front of the camera giving like essentially on liners yeah yeah that's
not what the show is okay the show is like it has story progression and
character development and like all this kind of stuff I'm just I'm trying to think of what they always say like oh
pitter patter let's get at her yeah P patter let's get at
her just like the most hit Canadian thing ever I love it my favorite one by
far is your 10 ply Bud the idea there is
that two ply toilet paper is already soft yes yes yes yes so 10 ply toilet
paper would be ridiculously soft and you're just way too speaking of pit
patter let's get adding everyone wants us to move on so uh so add spots I mean
I was going to say another topic but I mean pitter patter let's get at her
pitter patter let's get at her before we do ad spots you want to do Floatplane
sh nope uh I don't have that set up this
second because that's set up on Linus's laptop all right so let's do float
plane's a thing yeah let's just talk about we don't need to show it sure I
just don't know what oh there you go perfect float plan's a thing yeah it's
pretty great y streaming usually works not always usually though it's been
pretty good lately don't don't read the fine print of which there is none that says that it sometimes works and
hopefully works but then you can download it Tech when you sign up for
Floatplane there's like a hopefully this will work section that includes
streaming well there you go but like a very high percentage of the time time
streaming works not always not always
but a very high percentage of the time so anyway uh on float
plane we have the Silverstone this one
just went up last night the Silverstone headphone stand project conclusion oh
dang when did that start two years later yeah okay so the conclusion to a project
actually pretty funny nice little Vlog going on nice little Vlog yeah um we
reviewed a an 18-month old device hell
yeah the Surface Pro 4 why not because uh the price recently dropped and we
were like should you buy it or should you wait for sp5 okay yeah which should
there you go I'm actually waiting to see
this video because for my mom's work she wants like a tablety kind of thingy and
I'm like maybe a service apparently powerful you'll have to watch to find
out how it is yeah um luckily float pay
member benefits of the job so I'll be able to watch one there is also the MSI
Trident 3 Desktop review so if you guys remember that little tiny console killer
thing from CES that we checked out at MSI's Booth got it got a full review
going on and then um there's also a very
very light laptop you might even say
it's only some grams of weight oh dang
that's on on there as well so we got a lot of good content over one thing from
the Techquickie side that I want to drop real quick is the like we passed a
million subscri got a golden play button here's like the
history of Techquickie it didn't include everything it didn't have my 15
minute scripts in it which made me a little sad but it's okay um but if
you're a fan of John he hosts that video
he hosts it yeah so it's pretty it's
cool I actually really like that video there's multiple times where I burst out
laughing which is not that common cuz I'm I've been on the internet for a long
time and my soul is old and numb uh but
I yeah it's it's it's very funny it's very well done the skid at the end is
funny um it's the the whole thing is good I recommend checking that out so if
if you love John and you love TCH quickie and especially if you love
Dennis Dennis is in it too then you should go check that out so anyway float
playing it's great we release new videos all the time every day um if you're
having trouble finding it go to the lineus tech tips.com Forum there's a button like at the top that says float
playe Club click on that figure it out all right cool sponsors

SP what do we have left there was a few interesting things uh Nintendo is like
doubling production of the switch yeah apparently yeah which is like there
isn't really anything to really say about that uh on account of strong
demand the company reported that now plans to manufacture at least 16 million
consoles over the fiscal year starting April 1st which is twice its initial
plan so I guess they didn't have very high expectations to begin with maybe
well like uh it's sort of a Zelda machine right now someone posted an
interesting infographic which I don't have I hate how I always have these
Revelations during the show instead of before the show super super helpful for
everyone um but it was all the launch titles for all Nintendo consoles
throughout their history and it was interesting seeing how my favorite
consoles so far have had like not very many launch titles like N64 had like two
or three and Super Nintendo had not very many at all as well at least na launch
titles yeah that's true they might have had more like JP launch titles or
whatever but not very many na ones um I
also while I was on my trip in Boston a lot of people had switches that's not
that surprising that was that you were going to PAX East no I know but still
like it was it was especially because they were relatively hard to even buy
true it was it was interesting to see people liked it liked Zelda I guess that
much to like kind of haul it around with them all the time when it's not that
easy it's not as easy as a 3DS or something no you can't just throw it in
your pocket you need to bring like a dedicated bag for it or have one of those ginormous carrying cases which are
like legitimately this big which was just like a little bit cumbersome get
one if you're going to get a switch because the screens are sketchy and like
scratch up really easily like like in
the dock it seems like a lot of their
stuff is going to have quality control issues with that because I know there were also the issues that dbrand yeah
realized with the coding on both the
joycons and the the console itself are
just not very durable so dbrand would put a skin on and take it off and it would just slowly wear away to be fair
they said it was over a a large number of applications and removals but still
it should last it doesn't happen on a huge amount of other devices and like
the N64 is still relevant like not
relevant but it's still possibly in good shape today if you have one um um do you
think that your switch is going to last however many years 20 I legitimately
don't if you're actually using it especially because uh in different modes
I should say going in and out of the dock the I should have covered this in
my video I didn't have any problems with it with it which is why I didn't but I
did notice it I just also noticed I didn't have any problems with it so I
didn't bring it up but the when you go
to rail in your your switch into the
dock yeah there's what looks like rubber pads that you would like slide it along
they're plastic so you go to like slide it in
and it slides against that and it scratches the screen what it shouldn't
matter but it has been so like the one
time I've docked mine since I got it cuz I don't have a screen protector on it
yet I I'm getting one I'm getting one I just don't have it yet I like pressed it
against the back of the dock and then slid it in which is something you can do
so that it the screen doesn't touch the front there's enough Gap there that it's
fine and then once it was plugged in I like light let go of it so that it just
like rested against it and then everything was okay I just do not want to scratch it the dock is just aesthetic
right basically it's it's a glorified
USB hub so like that holds the switch oh
man um to correct my statement from a couple minutes ago the N64 was released
in '96 at least mine's plastic 96 that's
crazy that is actually pretty crazy so 21 years ago which is actually pretty
nuts um non official estimates suggest
the switch sold about 1 and a. half million units in its first week and that
compares to 13.5 million Wii U units sold in the entire four-year run of the
console uh but the thing is like and I
watched someone's video because someone was like okay a lot of people around the
switch launch are talking about how badly represented the Wii U was because
no one knew what the heck it was sure so he was like okay let's do a
retrospective and look at how bad it actually was watching The Press launches
and stuff even I'm sitting there going like what is this they never show the
actual console they just show the tablety thing like it's actually really
weird the whole thing is very weird I remember like even myself being confused
as to what it was being like is this just like an addition for the Wii like
it was very very odd and like they the
press conference for the switch wasn't the best press conference I've ever seen
by by any means but you understood what it was yeah you absolutely knew what the
switch was there was no questions about it you knew what the joy-cons were you
knew what the switch was you knew there's three different modes handheld tabletop docked you knew Zelda was
coming on it like you knew all the facts and that's what really mattered that was
not a thing with the Wii U to the point where even now I'll like talk to people about the
WiiU and they're like oh man I really want to play breath of the wild but I
don't want to play by an entire system just to play breath of the wild and I'm
like do you have someone you can like borrow a Wii U off of or like go to
Willow which isn't available for most people and like see if you can rent a
Wii U um and they're like what like it's
on the wiii I'm like no it's on the Wii U they're like oh so you have to get the
tablet thing I'm like no it's a different console it had
a really cool version of Mario Kart and I liked it Wii U is actually pretty sick
speaking of Mario Kart like I'm wondering if they're over producing at
this point if they're doubling they're playing to 16 million consoles over this
year because what do they have coming out breath of the wild anyone who wanted
to get a switch for breath of the wild has probably either got one already or
just given up and bought breath of the Wild on Wii U right that's what I did I
just bought it on the Wii U and play like yes there's some stuttering in in
towns and stuff there's some stuttering on the switch as well that's yeah so
it's not not like it's a Wii U issue people are still playing it over there
um what's coming out a reskinned or not
even reskin Mario Kart 8 yeah uh Mario
Kart 8 with additional content or something it's no I wouldn't call it a
reskin I think it's yeah there's some
things that have changed Mario Kart with additional content yeah but a game
that's already been released and then like two other fa most Mario Karts are
pretty similar and there's like there's there's some it's just not as different
as most of the are sure but like there's there's more courses there's more Riders
uh there's this more new like training wheels mode thing like there's a there
are some things that are changing I'm just curious where they think 16 million
units of demand is going to come from yeah well like I'm expecting
smash smash for took like three years
did it seriously to something like that yeah so I'm I'm you know maybe they have
plans that we don't know about yet maybe they're going to be doing like massive
Virtual Console stuff I know that's been a huge point of discussion so maybe
they're like hey yeah we're going to have like super metroid and all this
other like Mario 64 o Time stuff that you can play
through their online um monthly subscription plan or whatever whatever
it is that they're doing um maybe that's where they think the demand's going to
come from I would probably get one if a lot of those old games were on that and
exclusively available through the switch um but yeah E3 announcements people are
saying that's possible for sure um yeah
it'll just be interesting to see because hopefully they'll have more stuff by
holiday season otherwise I don't know where they're going to sell 16 million
switches another big one is Super Mario Odyssey is coming out for holiday season
yeah so people are interested in it right now because of Zelda and then
Mario Kart's coming out in like not that long but it's not a new game whatever
it's going to be kind of weird I don't think a huge wave of people are going to
buy switch is for Mario Kart I don't really see that happening um especially
now that we've seen how to be honest crappy the single Joy con yes
experiences yeah cuz half of that was like oh you can do I think they showed
split screen right for Mario Kart 8 yeah yeah I think so so you can do split
screen on like an airplane with your friend I want do that like I tried to
hold the joycon I was like wow this is total trash yeah like legitimate I am
very uninterested playing Mario Kart on a on one Joy on one joyon it's so
uncomfortable so maybe they'll have other more comfortable joycons coming
down the line I doubt that I don't think so but um some people have made like 3D
printed adapter things that you can rail in that make it better but for me it's
just the proximity of the buttons and the yeah thumbstick how did that make it
through yeah I don't I don't know I don't understand anyway so yeah I I hope
I wish them the best because I like Nintendo um if Super Mario Odyssey
knocks it out of the park I think they'll be in a pretty good spot because
then like parents for kids who didn't
want to buy a switch right now because buying a switch and Zelda is actually
quite an investment no kid especially because they're probably also going to want a Pro Controller and those Pro
controllers being uspc based that's
they're like super dope but not cheap
cheap at all um so I could see it being
a holiday purchase for a lot of different families and if Mario Odyssey
is good that's two titles right there which is often all it really needs to
sell someone Samsung sa is going to have
facial recognition for payments cool let's do we can do this as
like one of our last articles uh these two we'll do I like both of these so
first pictures of AMD Vega reference
card has been released and there's a new
logo there's a couple cool things here to notice there's the radon Vega logo
which looks pretty sick in my opinion and then that is like a cool stylized
heat sink you've got those like kind of slashes going on there white back plate
which honestly is working with a lot of different system builds right now
there's a lot of white white and black themed and black white red and black is
definitely a thing um they like I I
think that could look awesome the side of it still looks like it'll have the
Radeon thing there is that like metal do
you think I really can't tell these seems like pretty not great photos yeah
no kidding um so I'm going to try to not make very many assumptions about that
but it's I see where you're coming from on the metal thing I was actually
wondering that earlier but it could just be like a really crappy that kind of
looks like a a similar thing to the back
BL that you it's yeah like something could it
yeah yeah that's funny um but yeah no I
really like the look back the like the it looks like it would be a v if it
wasn't cut off there with the red logo that looks really sharp radi on Vega
clean text clean design it's got the lines on there looks really sh like the
design on there really badass I'm happy about that because like
Aesthetics are totally a thing right now I ain't mad at that I ain't mad at that
uh jump into another topic Sweden produces programming from grade one
which is awesome in my opinion I wish I
had learned programming from grade one or in school at all I wish it was like
more of a thing at the schools that we were at I would like wasn't really that
much of a thing instead of spending hours learning cursive which I will
never ever ever use yeah um I would love
to be able to program something yeah like anything I'm like not capable and
the thing is it's going to become like you might want to start taking Linda
courses or something not to give her guys a show out um but because it's
going to become oh God a very comp yeah the bot is targeting you now so you only
have to post it once and then it reposts it like a billion times I just uh spam
chat don't worry about it it's okay don't worry gun run just Global bans you
too much spamming um anyways uh like it's going
to be a very competitive thing in the job market because even business people
if you can make little bot things to help do stuff if you can write really
complex Excel equations whatever that'll help you a lot and speaking of really
complex Excel equations they want to
integrate the fact that they're teaching people coding in schools into their math
and science programs so in order to
solve certain problems you're going to be able to write a program to do it for
you and they they're going to want you to try to figure out how to write programs to solve different arithmetic
problems automatically instead of you doing it and they're going to want you
to be able to do it on your own yeah because they're going to go like okay
now that you understand this concept kind of show me how you understand it by
making this computer solve it for you and then you've now ascended beyond that
you don't have to worry about doing it manually anymore you can just have this computer do it I think that's super cool
that would be awesome yeah that would be awesome instead of okay it's time for
your grade 12 provincials everybody
clear the data on your graphing calculator you can't have any games or
cheat codes on your graphing calculators
otherwise you're going to get expelled it just we can't have it that
was so annoying cuz I actually had a lot of stuff in dumbest like school man
sorry I brought tools that made me prepared for this issue my bad anyways
um a note from Sweden's minister of Education says we need more coders and
it's a skill that will be needed in more jobs in the future moreover we are being
affected by coding we are being affected by coding
to a Growing Degree to a greater degree probably that
makes sense to an increasing degree yeah yeah I think that is super cool I think
teaching coding in school is super important I think that should be like a
basic skill that basically everyone has yeah I wish I had some of it cuz I'm
going to be that old man he's like I don't get these kids these days they
have to code they have all the stuffff the technology it's ridiculous I even
took some of the stuff in school and I'm going to be that old man so I need to take refresher courses isn't it weird
feeling old it is these kids three Printing and coding is going to be
taught in school tell that's going to be I tell you what really
interesting anyways guys I think that's it for the stream um thanks for coming
by thank you for watching sick and tired host the W show for you this week uh if
you want to tune in next week twitch.tv
