1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:11,400
all right ladies and gentlemen welcome to the W and everyone else too welcome

2
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:14,799
to the W show we are finally live um I

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,680
was helping Luke uh create is he what

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:22,279
the oh but I was helping Luke uh create

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,119
custom length Ethernet cables by um

6
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:28,400
basically looking at what he was doing going wow gee that looks too hard and

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,800
then going and getting some Ethernet cables I happened to buy a few months

8
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:35,239
ago that happened to be the length of the cables he was trying to make and

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,800
handing them to him so uh he should be wrapping that up pretty darn quickly and

10
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:45,600
then he'll be joining me here on the show we've got a great show for you guys today um going to be a lot of discussion

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,520
around Mobile World Congress obviously that was the big thing that happened

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,520
this week lots of you know you know news about the uh latest happenings in the

13
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:59,600
desktop computer world I need like a cricket sound effect

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,960
that I can play um so lot lots of stuff from the the biggest handset makers you

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,520
know your Samsung your LG your caterpillar um evidently that that's

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,560
that's a thing uh so we'll be talking a little bit more about that actually the caterpillar phone looks really

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:18,400
interesting I'm hoping to be able to get one for review um what else we got going

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:23,720
on Direct X12 explicit multi-GPU mode has been tested by PC World so we're

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,000
going to check that out um I don't know

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,759
I'm sure there was something else that's interesting Arrow Cool's DreamBox

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,960
chassis kit potentially a a more maker

22
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:39,920
friendly chassis than we've ever seen before and uh software piracy apparently

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:44,640
hurts Linux adoption a research uh study

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,640
find so uh more on that at

25
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,840
11

26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:11,039
it's so funny I got a guy in the chat that's like sorry I'm late can you start

27
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:13,239
over like yeah I I wish that was a thing

28
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,920
that I could do all right so here we go we're starting

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,480
over welcome to the W show guys boom

30
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,480
let's roll the

31
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,000
intro oh boy all right so I think the

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,360
first topic today is gonna be uh let's

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:38,720
see what can I what can I handle without my my dynamic duo Ultimo sidekick here

34
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,239
I'm sure there's something you know what why don't we jump right into the Mobile

35
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:45,480
World Congress stuff if you have to go make Ethernet cables somewhere I think that's totally fine because basically

36
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,480
I'm going to be listing specs for the next 20 minutes um which I actually

37
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:55,640
won't and by the way the battery on your laptop's low Get Wrecked I love how Dell

38
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,319
says strike the F1 key to continue it's

39
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:03,840
like you have to be really sure they want you to to to not press not push not

40
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:09,560
even hit you got to strike you got to hit with Precision accuracy

41
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:15,239
intimidation I'm just stalling for time at this point all right so let's jump

42
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,480
into the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge unlike

43
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:22,319
last time it looks like we're going to be seeing an S7 and an S7 Edge that

44
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:27,319
aren't just complete equivalents of each other with one of them having a curved

45
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:31,400
screen so with the S6 and the S6 Edge they were they were actually kind of two

46
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:36,720
versions of both there was the um there was the the note which I sort of like a

47
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Galaxy S6 larger and then there was The Edge Plus so this time around the S7 and

48
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:46,879
the S7 Edge are just totally different so the edge now is a larger phone so

49
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:55,079
it's actually got a 5 point I believe it's a 5.4 in display versus the 5.1 in

50
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,959
display of no excuse me 55 in display

51
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:02,680
compared to the 5.1 in display of the S7 Edge they're both running qu Quad HD

52
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:08,599
Super AMOLED displays and very going to be very similar to their predecessors in

53
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:14,120
that regard um the camera is a big change on going from the S6 series to

54
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,639
the S7 Series so they're going down from

55
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,919
a 16 megapixel camera to a 12 megapixel

56
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:27,160
camera this time around they are doing the whole uh HTC UltraPixel thing except

57
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,400
that there's a power bar there it's full no no the other

58
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,800
one um so they're so they're actually

59
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:39,120
reducing the pixel count in order to use larger pixels for better light capture

60
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:44,320
especially in low light conditions but hopefully um like apple they're doing it

61
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,120
right so they're doing it in a way that's not going to hurt the performance

62
00:04:46,039 --> 00:04:50,520
of the camera in more normal shooting

63
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,919
scenarios something that many people complained about with the 1

64
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,960
M7 this is cool so we are getting back

65
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:00,240
the ip68 water and dust resistance so

66
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,080
they are saying that it's going to allow for submersion in up to 1 and 1/2 M of

67
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:10,840
water for 30 minutes at a time and we're getting some beefed up specs of course

68
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,080
so Snapdragon 820 exos processors in some regions of the world this is so

69
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,280
bizarre to me the way Samsung does this yes it's like this region this and that

70
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,080
region that these people want to process this way but then again and you know

71
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,560
what's funny is they get away with it like you look at how much crap Apple

72
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,880
took just over using two different foundaries for the same damn chip design

73
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:36,080
meanwhile Samsung's like yeah we're just completely different processor don't

74
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:41,360
worry about it um at least that is done by regen though with the apple one it

75
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:46,840
was like a gamble what one do I get who knows complete poop mix so to speak um

76
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:54,199
some other big changes so we are getting back micro SD expansion Samsung either

77
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,080
heard their customers loud and clear or

78
00:05:54,199 --> 00:06:00,280
this is nothing that they didn't know already and they intentionally withheld

79
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:05,199
that from the last generation to hope for there to be some reason some reason

80
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:09,440
for people to upgrade from the S6 to the S7 there's also 4 gigs of RAM this time

81
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,400
around um actually oh I don't know if the I know I think there were three S6

82
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:20,080
I'm I'm see it's all blurring together because it's like yay new phone spec

83
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,880
bump really premium looking devices this time around with like Glass and Metal

84
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,759
and all that kind of stuff so that's again huge step in the right direction

85
00:06:25,599 --> 00:06:32,599
love that from Samsung cuz they do it really well when they decide to do it

86
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:37,280
um no removable battery but the capacity on the S7 looks pretty good it's got a

87
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,479
3,000 milliamp battery and that combined

88
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:43,080
with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with any power saving features we gain there

89
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,440
should be enough for you to get great battery life even if you use the always

90
00:06:45,479 --> 00:06:52,120
on display features so Samsung is claiming that you lose only about a half

91
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:57,240
a percent of battery per hour in its tests by having the display on all the

92
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:01,240
time so that's just displaying uh so critical information I mean this is

93
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,840
something that I've seen before you've probably seen before uh things like

94
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,319
SmartWatches that use AMOLED displays we'll have an always on display so that

95
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,759
oh it's funny I'm holding see there you go you can whatever you can barely see

96
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:19,560
it whatever here against the purple background no I don't do it do it do it

97
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:26,759
there see you can oh um and I've seen sort of uh ambient

98
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,840
display modes on phones before like the Droid Turbo that had that proximity

99
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:35,080
sensor that you could just kind of wave at it whenever you wanted to see it honestly

100
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,319
that worked really well but this seems pretty good and it won't necessarily be

101
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,360
on all the time it does have a proximity sensor as well it just uses it for the

102
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,199
opposite purpose so it'll actually turn off those pixels that it's Illuminating

103
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,159
to tell you the time or notifications or whatever else and whenever it's in your

104
00:07:49,479 --> 00:07:57,720
pocket or face down on a table or whatever else although if you're the kind of person who puts your phone face

105
00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:01,120
down on a table feel bad feel bad about

106
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:04,120
that because there can be small like

107
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,360
micr fragments of actually surprisingly

108
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:11,280
hard minerals like I don't know if people know this but like sand is not

109
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,159
necessarily all made of sand Stone okay

110
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:19,960
there's all kinds of minerals and elements and deposits and junk in just

111
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,000
regular ordinary sand to the point where my iPhone 6s is scratched to crap just

112
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,919
from going in and out of my pocket from getting bits of dust and debris and sand

113
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:32,599
in my pocket because I didn't put a phantom glass protector on it I know I

114
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:38,680
even have one I have two I have a normal one and a privacy one and I was just

115
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:41,919
like you YOLO YOLO I'm going be back on

116
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:43,839
the 6s cuz I did so well with the Droid

117
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:47,440
Turbo which doesn't have a phantom glass protector for it so I never even had the

118
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:50,959
option and I'd like had it for over a year and I was like oh this thing's still doing really good I'm like getting

119
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:56,399
good at this like taking care of my phone thing with that said not all glass

120
00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:00,279
or not all scratch resistant glass is made equal even from Gorilla Glass like

121
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,240
I swear with exactly the same treatment I

122
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:09,519
have encountered phones that scratch very easily that are using the same kind

123
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:14,079
of glass as ones that just seem to be completely bulletproof like that Droid

124
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,360
Turbo um and seem to be nearly impossible to scratch I think there's a

125
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,640
there's a binning process that goes on that Corning seems to not talk about

126
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,600
where there are different grades of even every type of Gorilla Glass and it might

127
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:33,360
be a little little touch of the old luck of the draw as to whether you get a good

128
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:36,120
one or one that is not as good uh we can

129
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:40,399
briefly go over the S7 Edge so larger display like I said 5 1 12 in the back

130
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:47,000
of the device now has a curve to it as well making it more comfortable to hold

131
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:48,399
um has a 3600 mamp hour battery and

132
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,560
other than that looks like pretty much the same darn thing so I'm doing way

133
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,760
fewer phone reviews this day these days there's a couple of reasons for it

134
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:04,320
number one is I just don't think they're that different from each other

135
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,760
anymore yeah and number two is that

136
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:12,360
um I I I was getting it was really wearing on me be because not all

137
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:16,320
reviewers do this but I actually switch to the phone outright that I am

138
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:20,360
reviewing I take my sim out of my normal phone and while these days because I use

139
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:23,920
Google authenticator for pretty much everything I do still need to carry

140
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:29,680
around my daily driver phone cuz switching over all that stuff is a real

141
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,120
bear um I I only use the other phone for

142
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,440
everything else and it has just been wearing on me to be switching phones all

143
00:10:32,839 --> 00:10:43,079
the time like that so um I only plan to review one of uh the Galaxy S7 and the

144
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,480
S7 Edge

145
00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:49,320
so I'm going to do a straw pull here guys I want you to let me know which one

146
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:53,120
you want to see here we

147
00:10:54,639 --> 00:11:01,680
go straw pull man they make it easy

148
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:06,959
to do polls Boop there you go so I want to see

149
00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:12,120
what you guys want to see I mean I want to know what you guys want to just okay

150
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,600
whatever I'm going to click results now um some more interesting phones so the

151
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,720
LG G5 seems to have kind of uh jumped out

152
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:28,279
in front of everyone else on the whole uh modular phone concept certainly not

153
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:29,519
to the same degree as someone really

154
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:34,920
guys the edge it's a 5 1/2 in device I can practically

155
00:11:31,959 --> 00:11:39,320
write that review right now the phone's really nice it's really fast Samsung

156
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:45,079
continues to make improvements to touch wi uh but it's too big for my

157
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:49,279
hands I actually I'm personally a lot more interested in the S7 than I am in

158
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:52,839
the edge apparently very few of you are interested in it at all though this is

159
00:11:51,079 --> 00:11:58,279
one of the lowest percentage voter turnouts I've ever seen we've got 4,700

160
00:11:55,839 --> 00:12:00,680
people watching and like a thousand of you voted okay okay there we go that's a

161
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:07,240
little better, 1500 um looks like the S7 is making up

162
00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:10,680
some CR here but uh wow you guys are with me on the whole phone's just not

163
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:15,639
really being that interesting anymore thing it looks like uh the G5 does look

164
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:20,279
legitimately interesting though so not modular to the same degree as something

165
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:25,320
like the phone blocks concept where the idea was you'd actually have like almost

166
00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:29,680
like a bread board with like a screen in front of it and then you just have like

167
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:33,920
these modules that you can modularly plug in or take out and well even

168
00:12:31,959 --> 00:12:37,720
claiming to be able to do things like a hot swap a battery module while the

169
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:40,519
phone is running that's not out yet that's something that's in a lab

170
00:12:38,839 --> 00:12:47,480
somewhere that probably will see the light of day in the future um but for

171
00:12:43,079 --> 00:12:49,160
now the G5 does offer some modularity so

172
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:54,079
the original article here uh this is posted by nin shadow on the Forum the

173
00:12:51,399 --> 00:13:00,839
last one was Chris row 996 and our original article here is from Android

174
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:00,839
authorita

175
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,880
um so they've got basically most of the

176
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:10,079
phone is not modular so phone blocks was like yeah you could like put in a new

177
00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:15,079
processor and RAM and storage and blah blah blah this one most of it is not

178
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:19,279
modular it is pretty much a phone uh they've still got the power button on

179
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:25,560
the back although thankfully for me I I prefer this they've moved the volume

180
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:29,040
rocker to the side of the phone then um

181
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:32,560
it's got I think it's a 2800 milliamp B

182
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,519
battery it's got some dude holding it up

183
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:41,240
here design and build quality oh yeah they're going for a much much uh more

184
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:48,880
like premium feeling design to it it's got this actually kind of reminds me of

185
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:52,360
um oh what was it Nexus S original Nexus

186
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,040
this actually looks like this rounded

187
00:13:52,360 --> 00:14:00,800
business here it feels like kind of a dated design language but um yeah Nexus

188
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:05,320
uh s yeah the white one that I had yeah really reminds me of that with the with

189
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:09,880
like sort of the curved look to the bump um but I mean as long as it feels good

190
00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:13,600
in the hand then I'm not going to give them I'm not going to give them too much

191
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Flack over that um but there's a few unique features to this one that

192
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,959
actually make it really interesting to me so Snapdragon 820 adreno 530 4 gigs

193
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,199
of RAM don't worry none of that was unique yes it is 2,800 milliamp hours

194
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:28,880
for the battery I did just uh check on that no support for wireless charging oh

195
00:14:27,079 --> 00:14:35,079
yeah the last thing that's a total bummer and a missed opportunity about

196
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:37,839
the S7 and the S7 Edge um micro micr USB

197
00:14:35,079 --> 00:14:42,480
connector hey it's 2016 if it's not type c I don't want to

198
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:47,600
see it anymore get it I don't want to see anything else it's not a joke it's

199
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:53,199
just Dum um anyway so the G5 supports Quick Charge 3.0 but no wireless

200
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,320
charging it has a dual camera setup this is where we're starting to get into the

201
00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:03,040
cool stuff so it has a normal that's funny my notes say normal Ang angle dang

202
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:06,720
it Colton so it just has a more standard

203
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:09,519
16 megap camera then this is cool it has

204
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:14,720
a wideangle 8 megapixel camera and the phone can actually Stitch inputs from

205
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:20,000
the two cameras into one image and it also allows you to switch between the

206
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:26,160
135° wide angle and the regular camera manually within the app with an instant

207
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,680
transition this is one of those it is so

208
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:33,360
difficult to get the best of both worlds unless you just put two cameras on it

209
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,120
problems and LG ran out and solved it by

210
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:40,120
putting two cameras on it because one of the things that I liked so much about

211
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:44,959
the S6 was the relatively wide angle lens particularly on the selfie camera

212
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:49,680
which made it so that you didn't have to have that you know that selfie look like

213
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:54,040
the you got the one ARM out and you're like trying to make your face Square to

214
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:58,279
the shot and trying to look natural but you can't get it out far enough to get a

215
00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:01,440
decent picture well with a nice wide angle lens you don't have to you can be

216
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:10,120
very comfortable you can be very square and the phone can be very close to you so having the ability to take uh to take

217
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:15,800
sorry to take wider shots of close-up subjects or and this is the problem with

218
00:16:13,079 --> 00:16:18,360
that or or to be able to get a reason reasonable Clarity on a shot of

219
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:23,279
something like you're you know you're at a hockey game or a basketball game or something and you know you're that

220
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:29,160
person because everyone does it when it's like oh this picture of this player

221
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,920
is special because I took it um

222
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:36,360
then you're actually able to do that in a way that you otherwise can't all right

223
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,399
aluminum unibody power button built into the rear fingerprint sensor fingerprint

224
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,800
sensors are a great thing especially when they're well implemented I am such

225
00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:49,319
a huge fan of that I really wish it was better on the Z5 compact um it it's it's

226
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:54,120
a funny thing about this phone it was um it was something that I that I was not

227
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:59,240
able to really tackle properly in my review but that I can follow up with now

228
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:03,440
no matter how many times I re reset my fingerprint in the settings it works

229
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:09,720
great for a bit and then stops working great and while you could say well lus

230
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:15,039
it's obvious the answer is that you're a morphling and your fingerprints change

231
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:19,760
over time I really don't think that's it because the iPhone 6s that I reviewed

232
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:25,679
before that and I'm now using now after that review works like instantly just

233
00:17:22,919 --> 00:17:30,440
fine anyway um so let's get into the modules so what they're allowing you to

234
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:35,240
to do is swap a it looks like a single module so

235
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,480
you have to kind of pick okay what's my specialty so they're allowing you to

236
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:45,160
remove the bottom cap of the phone and swap in these modules so you uh this

237
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:50,559
allows access to a replaceable battery or you could add something like a camera

238
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:55,240
grip which gives you manual control for

239
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:57,640
shutter and zoom as well as um as well

240
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:02,240
as an increase in the battery capacity so another 12 1200 milliamp hours so

241
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,760
that's brings it up to 4,000 milliamp hours if you have that grip on it

242
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:10,400
they've also got one called the LG high-fi plus so that's an audio module

243
00:18:08,679 --> 00:18:15,120
from bang and Olson which features a 32bit as if that means anything uh DAC

244
00:18:13,159 --> 00:18:20,080
as well as a dedicated 3 half mm headphone port and there are apparently

245
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:27,720
more modules to come I can't think of too many modules

246
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,679
that I would particularly want to add to a phone

247
00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:37,280
so I guess I'd like to take this opportunity to hand off to you guys and

248
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:41,520
ask you what exactly would you add to a phone so let's let's let's do Twitter

249
00:18:39,159 --> 00:18:47,480
Blitz here um I want to hear from you guys at linch on Twitter what module

250
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:49,799
would you like to see from LG let's go

251
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:53,840
ahead and put that right there PC building a fridge does it work come on

252
00:18:51,600 --> 00:19:00,360
let's bring on those tweets bring on those tweets as many battery modules as

253
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:04,440
I can get who does an hourlong podcast

254
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:07,080
all by himself not this guy yeah and not

255
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:10,559
this guy yeah I love your timing we've actually yeah we've actually both done

256
00:19:08,919 --> 00:19:14,679
that before we have both done that before yeah all right come on guys come

257
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,919
on that thing that I'm working on is pretty much as far as it can go until I

258
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,120
need to make large amounts of noise so okay cool yeah we could talk about that

259
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:27,520
actually here why don't we talk about a couple of the videos we've got coming I

260
00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:29,480
mean YOLO right um let you do yours

261
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:34,440
first do it background so do it in the back or do it

262
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:38,039
in the background maybe both oh in the background so we talk about that one

263
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:42,559
twitch allow that yeah sure so basically essentially uh I live in a rented place

264
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:46,480
like a lot of people and when you live in a rented Place usually you know they

265
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:50,640
don't want you to drill like giant holes in the wall because that can suck um

266
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:58,440
sometimes you can get away with it by just not telling them but that's not really an option with my landlord so um

267
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:03,039
I'm instead of putting my networking on a wall I'm putting it on a board which I

268
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:08,200
can just lean against the wall because up until now all of my networking kit my

269
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:12,520
access point my router my modem my giant switch all of it was just in like a pile

270
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:16,520
and all the cables were just going everywhere and it was disgusting and

271
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:21,080
horrible and I hated it back to the pile so uh so instead I'm mounting it on a

272
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:26,200
board that's what I'm doing over there so when I was off screen I was like velcroing stuff down and routing cables

273
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:31,840
and doing stuff like that it's not perfect but I'm doing it

274
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:36,000
really fast so I bought $1,000 HDMI cable today

275
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:43,320
no i i people on Twitter are freaking out they're like M us to waste of money

276
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:48,600
I'm like I I know I know I know trust me I know you guys you guys who watch The W

277
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,200
show you guys are the inner circle okay so I'm not going to Tweet out I know

278
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:58,679
because if people have been watching people have been watching long enough to

279
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:05,480
follow on Twitter and they don't know that I'm aware of the issues that's kind

280
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,840
of czy with $1,000 HDMI cable then they

281
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:15,440
can just wait for the piece of content they don't get to be Inner Circle okay

282
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:17,600
so I know the point of the video is that

283
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:24,240
someone but remember that I'm not buying an HDMI cable to own an HDMI cable I am

284
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:27,400
buying an HDMI cable to make a piece of

285
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:31,799
content about a forementioned HDMI cable

286
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:35,400
and the issue with the high-end cable

287
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:37,720
industry is that you've either got the

288
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:42,520
people who I can't figure out why but they they they either buy into the snake

289
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:46,720
oil and because they get given the cables maybe I'm guessing or they buy

290
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:52,600
into the snake oil because they bought the cables they can't return them and

291
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,640
they can't admit that they got fleeced

292
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,600
and I think that's where a lot of this defending purchasing decisions yeah I

293
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:04,240
think that's where a lot of this these myths get perpetuated because the

294
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:09,640
only people willing the only people who have them to talk about them fall into

295
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:17,120
one of those two camps for the most part so everyone else all the other people

296
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:19,640
who know better are too smart to buy one

297
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:24,720
so what I'm doing here effectively is I am taking it for the team yeah I just

298
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:32,480
spent ,000 oh on an yeah that's so much worse

299
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:36,679
on an all silver we are talking silver

300
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:39,679
wires okay the premium of the premium

301
00:22:36,679 --> 00:22:43,000
one meter cable and then I am

302
00:22:39,679 --> 00:22:45,919
legitimately going to Benchmark it in a

303
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,880
way that should actually be meaningful oh yeah see that's the part you didn't

304
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:53,799
know I bet no because thought you're just going to rag on it yeah well I'm

305
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:58,159
going to do that too um that is unless it actually turns out to perform better

306
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:02,679
because in my Benchmark there is a chance in fact my Benchmark will give it

307
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:09,440
every Advantage because while watching a video

308
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:16,279
um or listening to audio over a forementioned HDMI cable

309
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:18,559
literally cannot at least on this Earth

310
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:24,919
be affected by the silver wires I believe that it is possible if

311
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,840
the design of their cable is truly Superior that I will be able to

312
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,039
overclock a monitor further with it oh

313
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:38,480
because monitor overclocking is dependent on the cleanliness of the

314
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:43,760
signal as well as the Headroom that's

315
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:47,000
left in the scaler of the monitor so my

316
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:50,480
intention is to take a high refresh rate

317
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,799
high resolution free sync monitor so

318
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:59,000
it's got a high powerered scaler in it and then using HDMI

319
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:01,520
1.4 I am going to over clock as high as

320
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,520
I can with the silver cable and overclock as high as I can with a $4

321
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:11,720
cable from mono price if it performs better in a

322
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:16,080
repeatable consistent fashion then the cable is superior but that won't change

323
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:19,919
anything about it won't make it worth ,000 it won't make it worth $1,000 in

324
00:24:18,679 --> 00:24:23,480
any meaningful way because you could just get a DisplayPort cable yeah um

325
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:28,960
and you're not overclocking your home theater because all the content you're

326
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:32,279
watching on that runs at 24 to maximum

327
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:35,120
60 frames per second the chat brought up

328
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:38,240
um a point saying overclock your monitor but you just spent $1,000 on a cable so

329
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,159
why didn't you just buy the better monitor um that's not the point because

330
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:50,240
you can overclock better than the best monitor yeah huh yeah all right yeah to

331
00:24:48,399 --> 00:24:54,120
which you could reply the point is just is the C does is the cable better in any

332
00:24:52,399 --> 00:25:00,799
possible way at all yes and so we are going to we are going

333
00:24:57,159 --> 00:25:02,799
to do our best to answer that question

334
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:08,640
that no one cared about because no one was going to buy that cable who watches

335
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:09,760
our videos definitively um so yeah I I

336
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,480
don't know it should be uh it should be cool I'm looking forward to it because that's the kind of stuff that's that's

337
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:20,320
really fun for me is that sounds fun is like taking the the the general wisdom

338
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,880
and actually testing it which I guarantee you I guarantee you almost

339
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:31,000
every single person who says expensive HDMI cables are a waste has has never

340
00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:36,640
used one which doesn't mean that they're wrong it doesn't mean they're wrong okay

341
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,480
I'm I'm not going to it just means they

342
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,679
haven't used one they're taking what someone else said as the truth you're

343
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:47,880
not wrong with me I have not used one I have not used one yep so I'm going to

344
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,880
use one for the first time claims that's what the workshop's all about do you

345
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,440
want to try it too sure okay we'll both try it we'll try it together we'll have

346
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,440
like an we'll audition the cable you know we'll have like a listening party

347
00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:02,520
check out how dancable it is ooh

348
00:26:00,399 --> 00:26:06,919
ooh what if anyone's ever going to get that reference uh I oh I think so I

349
00:26:05,159 --> 00:26:13,000
think that's pretty I think that's pretty famous okay the the dancable

350
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:17,240
cables yeah um expensive cables you

351
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,919
should oh oh no no Heavens no all right

352
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,640
so um let's uh let's jump into oh this

353
00:26:20,919 --> 00:26:28,559
is great this is posted by good bites on the Forum I I swear I I think he would

354
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:35,679
actually curl up into a ball and die if someone else beat him to the punch on

355
00:26:31,399 --> 00:26:35,679
some like positive Microsoft

356
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:44,960
news and this is some pretty positive Microsoft news the H the HP Elite X3 um

357
00:26:43,159 --> 00:26:49,880
we we talked about the leaks last week but obviously there are more details is

358
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:56,720
announced and it is designed to be your Windows Phone laptop and desktop to

359
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,360
which my reply would be sorry good bites

360
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:03,799
and everyone else who who thinks this is relevant this is not relevant we're not

361
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:08,799
there yet it's running a Snapdragon 820 it is running 4 gigs of RAM it's got uh

362
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:13,880
hold on I'm going to have to it's being slow to switch between scenes four gigs

363
00:27:10,399 --> 00:27:16,600
of RAM is not nearly enough well amount

364
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:20,000
of tabs that I run on casual desktop experience okay it's not nearly enough

365
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:25,880
for me no it's not nearly enough for you but it's also a phone I need like 32

366
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:27,880
gigs of RAM for my tabs bro me too sadly

367
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:32,840
enough I run out of the 16 gigs of RAM on my computer upstairs infected me I

368
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:36,279
used to be great I'd have like five tabs open at a time every of tabs is great

369
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,960
and then I used to laugh at you because you'd have way too many tabs open and

370
00:27:37,679 --> 00:27:43,600
now I have like four Windows of the same browser and they're they all have too

371
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:49,880
many you want to hear the truth what you got busier yeah it's true and it's not

372
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:51,559
about being too busy to close a tab it's

373
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:56,880
about that you're legitimately working on every single thing that's open in a

374
00:27:53,159 --> 00:27:59,039
tab and and and when you get that busy

375
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:04,200
you you start to you start to think about your time very differently the 3

376
00:28:01,399 --> 00:28:08,519
seconds that it takes to type in a URL is not worth the organization of not

377
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:14,200
just having that tab open already and when you're really busy and you work on

378
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:16,760
the same tasks repeatedly you actually

379
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:21,960
you learn you remember where it is yeah tab number one is my is my work Gmail

380
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:26,000
tab number two is usually my second work Gmail for when I need to reply to

381
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:30,840
something tab number three is going to be my personal Gmail well no not my

382
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:34,919
personal my YouTube my YouTube like personal Gmail tab number four is this

383
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,679
tab number and and you actually and so it's like this chunk is usually like

384
00:28:37,159 --> 00:28:43,840
something I was working on a while ago and that I need to get back to this chunk is what I'm working on right now

385
00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:48,519
it's not that hard to find things it's faster than opening up a new tab I have

386
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:51,320
a whole window for Forum management which has like the tiered system that

387
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:57,720
you're just talking about y I have a whole window for uh like like emails and

388
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:02,240
like so like work email I have work email inbox and then I have work email

389
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:07,120
like working on whatever this is so like yeah yeah yeah social land like

390
00:29:05,159 --> 00:29:11,039
whatever music is currently going on all that kind of stuff's in that window then

391
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:16,360
I have like working on video a and then working on video B yeah man yeah tab tab

392
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:21,000
life all those have stacked yeah tab life um ridiculous all right so back to

393
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,799
the elite X3 which crashes like four times a day well that's cuz it's Firefox

394
00:29:23,399 --> 00:29:31,720
Chrome has its own issues though my Chrome at home is just brain explosion

395
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:37,120
like total brain explosion my Chrome on my laptop has another has an issue too

396
00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:39,159
like whenever I VNC into our servers i

397
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:45,320
chrome it's the one computer it doesn't work perfectly on um

398
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,120
it's just ridiculous I remember the

399
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:51,679
whole idea behind Chrome remember the commercials apparently

400
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,039
you no I'm going to get back to that I have not forgotten it's sitting there

401
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,480
with the new notifications waiting for me to hit that the light yeah yeah it's

402
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:06,320
not y um okay so let's talk about the elite X3 though um the most powerful

403
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:15,120
Windows 10 mobile device you can get 4150 Milah battery that I like 5.96 in

404
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,640
AMOLED uh Quad HD display uh quad core

405
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,679
qualcom blah blah blah 64 gigs of storage expandable to two terabytes with

406
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:25,919
micro SD although if you're storing two terabytes of data on a micr SB card um

407
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,240
you need to re-evaluate your strategy that's a really terrible idea

408
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:35,600
think that could be to be terab but that

409
00:30:32,919 --> 00:30:41,200
could be unimportant to put on a Micro SD card I could be wrong it's got a 16

410
00:30:38,919 --> 00:30:46,360
megapixel uh rear camera 8 megapixel front camera Windows hello Iris and

411
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:51,399
fingerprint scanners that's pretty darn cool IP67 rating for DUS and waterproof

412
00:30:48,919 --> 00:30:57,919
mil military standard 810 rating 1 M drop very nice Chi and PMA wireless

413
00:30:55,159 --> 00:31:01,600
charging holy freaking crap bit lock ER encryption image

414
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,240
encryption yes and here's where we get into the really interesting stuff

415
00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:12,120
because it has continum it allows you to either wired

416
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:15,080
Le or W oh yeah USB 3.0 type-c way to go

417
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:20,519
wired wired Le shut up wirly or wirelessly you're so

418
00:31:17,399 --> 00:31:24,559
mean connect to a couple of accessories

419
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:26,000
that HP has so one is this doc that I

420
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:32,600
forget what it's called it has a stupid name HP really needs to learn from Apple

421
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:36,880
have a cool name pencil have a pretentious name because

422
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:41,159
For Better or For Worse it helps me remember it um that allow that gives you

423
00:31:39,639 --> 00:31:46,080
a DisplayPort which by the way can be adapted to HDMI two full size powered

424
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:50,960
usb3 ports with Device charging capability One USB type-c connector and

425
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:56,880
a Kensington lock um and then there's actually a laptop that has no actual

426
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,960
system in it um it has a 12 and 1 12 in screen keyboard touchpad speakers

427
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:05,000
headphone jack Ethernet port two fullsize usb3 connectors One USB 3.0

428
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:09,519
type-c connector and a 48w hour battery that does not feature its own CPU the

429
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,799
phone actually transmits to the laptop wirelessly so you can keep it in your

430
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,880
pocket once it is connected to the laptop very very cool so hold on a

431
00:32:15,639 --> 00:32:23,320
second lus that sounds awesome and it sounds like you're amped on this great

432
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:24,960
Point except the reason I'm not amped is

433
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,639
because it needs two more generations and this is not hp's fault this is

434
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:34,159
Intel's fault for not getting their head in the game on their mobile x86

435
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:39,000
processors tell me about this when it runs

436
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:41,639
x86 because the beauty of Windows is the

437
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:47,039
application compatibility the Achilles heel of Windows mobile is the

438
00:32:44,399 --> 00:32:51,639
application compatibility I mean I was I was just I was browsing aimlessly on the

439
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:56,600
internet and I came across um an article that The Verge did on the apps that are

440
00:32:54,919 --> 00:33:01,600
not only not developing for Windows mobile but pulling their apps and it was like

441
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:06,880
terrible it was like American Airlines like Pinterest like it was just like

442
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:11,799
devastating devastating apps that are discontinuing development or flat out

443
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:18,639
pulling their apps from the platform citing a lack of users as the reason for

444
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:22,360
it um so until you can tell me about

445
00:33:18,639 --> 00:33:25,519
x86 Intel powered phones I'm really not

446
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,519
that interested but when you can wow am

447
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:33,159
I ever excited about this like as someone who carries around a

448
00:33:30,679 --> 00:33:40,000
supremely op laptop um I also have recognized that

449
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:46,840
other than my Chrome hungry hungry hipping um I don't need that much power

450
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:51,000
when I'm out and about so something like this could be

451
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,760
fantastic if it has compatibility for all the stupid junk I needed to run and

452
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:59,639
is maybe a little bit more powerful and is maybe a little bit more powerful because give it to two more Generations

453
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,760
we're going to have 8 or 16 gigs of RAM in it um we're going to have a more

454
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:07,360
powerful CPU we're going to have everything that I can imagine today

455
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:12,119
wanting although my needs might change in the next year and year or two right

456
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:16,480
so it might get even worse uh Razer has confirmed they're sending over a blade

457
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:19,440
stealth um we're really late on that I actually looked back at my emails and

458
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,919
they were like let me get back to you tomorrow on availability it was like 5

459
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,079
weeks ago so today I was like I'm getting requests to review the blade

460
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:30,800
stealth like do other people have reviews up and there people with reviews that are like almost a month old at this

461
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:37,040
point I'm like Oh my yo are you guys sending one they're like oh oh yeah so

462
00:34:34,359 --> 00:34:42,320
so they're sending it um I'm hoping to get my hands on their core as early as

463
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:45,839
possible and I'm going to cut yeah the uh the external GPU box so I'm going to

464
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:49,320
kind of dig a knife into their side and be like yeah you guys got me the blade

465
00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:52,359
stealth super late so I really think I should be the first with the core oh

466
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:57,440
this is this is the kind of stuff that goes on goes on behind the scenes um I I

467
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,680
don't know how much they like me though to be perfectly honest like Razer like

468
00:34:59,839 --> 00:35:04,760
that's the thing is like I'll I'll play those games but like ultimately when the

469
00:35:03,359 --> 00:35:09,160
device arrives I'm just going to say whatever um like Razer razer's gotten

470
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,640
some pretty bad reviews here over the years um they've also gotten good ones

471
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:17,440
they've gotten good ones they've gotten really good ones do a better job get a

472
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:21,760
better review they also with that said they also at least you know like I don't

473
00:35:20,359 --> 00:35:24,280
think they intentionally snubbed me on the blade stealth or like were laid on

474
00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:30,079
the blade stealth I think it was probably just a thing they missed forgot it or whatever they have a pretty mature

475
00:35:27,839 --> 00:35:33,720
attitude about it when we say something negative about their products like

476
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:37,640
that's something that a lot of um a lot of people I think worry about because we

477
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:42,560
have relationships with pretty much every company whose products we review

478
00:35:40,359 --> 00:35:46,839
like there's people that we're going to have to talk to when we publish a really

479
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,839
negative review and say yep well we we didn't like it sorry that's that's the

480
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:54,240
reality of it we've done that we've got some pretty inflammatory stuff back

481
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:57,319
sometimes uh the mounting thing are we still talking about that which one is

482
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,920
that the cooler the cooler remember it was really hard

483
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:05,200
to install and we were like what the hell oh yeah the um who made that be

484
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:08,560
quiet yeah yeah yeah yeah so so stuff like that like yeah they they weren't

485
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:14,119
happy about that but actually it's not like they stopped supplying us with review samples and that's something that

486
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:17,920
I think viewers I hope viewers should recognize and understand is that even if

487
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:22,839
we say something negative and even if they don't like it the mature companies

488
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:26,960
the guys like a Corsair or a Razer are going to continue to deal with us

489
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:31,680
regardless which I think is better for them better for us and better for the

490
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:37,119
consumer because ultimately if the company tries to control what we say we

491
00:36:34,359 --> 00:36:40,319
will make the decision to either buy the products ourselves if we think they

492
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:44,280
really need to be covered or we just won't work with them anymore and Astro

493
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:48,640
is a perfect example of that um I actually covered that in a video that I

494
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:52,640
don't believe is released yet oh um but they they straight up never replied to

495
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:56,119
an email from me um after I released a negative review of the A50 which quite

496
00:36:54,359 --> 00:37:00,560
frankly is everything I said it was it's just plain not very good it was not as

497
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,520
good as any of the other wireless head headsets I tested it

498
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:10,119
against like I'm sorry I don't make the rules 420 and it's it's one of those

499
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,839
things where I think it comes down to the the pedigree of the company as well

500
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:17,839
like I like to bring up Corsair because they do a really good job of being big

501
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:23,800
boys about it when we don't like something um with Corsair we like yeah

502
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:27,760
we don't like it they're like okay what can we do better yeah that's a good

503
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:32,960
point or no we don't agree this is why uh because their pedigree is enthusiasts

504
00:37:30,839 --> 00:37:36,520
they actually care if you look back at Astro and you know I'm not going to like

505
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,720
I'm not going to make disparaging remarks or anything like that but if you

506
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:46,440
just read their company history they are literally a branding firm that is

507
00:37:44,319 --> 00:37:50,240
literally their Core Business that they did and I believe still do that they

508
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:55,160
just kind of went oh well we're really good at this I'm assuming making

509
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:58,480
assumption okay that it seems like what they did is they went oh we're really

510
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:03,359
good at just like taking something and building a brand around it so why don't

511
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,040
we do that with our own stuff and so do

512
00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:11,119
I necessarily think that they approached it with the same level of enthusiasm and

513
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:17,680
Engineering um adeptness skill um knowledge that

514
00:38:14,839 --> 00:38:21,640
someone else might my perception based on that the product was straight up not

515
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:26,800
as good as what Corsair and steel series both brought to the table is no so there

516
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:30,599
you go that's what I have to say about that I don't know how I got on that

517
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,839
topic wait I aimed let's jump into that Twitter Blitz

518
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:39,280
that I had uh that I had promised to do with you guys before so what would you

519
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:44,040
guys want to see a Good Vibration motor it's such a Good Vibration

520
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,520
motor um anyway PCI Express I can't say

521
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:53,200
I agree with that one what was this question uh what modules do you want to

522
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:58,119
see oh that would be I forgot the question but turnup you're

523
00:38:55,079 --> 00:39:00,200
correct uh maybe an anten upgrade that's

524
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:04,520
an interesting thought although I don't think we're antenna limited the same way

525
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,800
we were when we had to pull up the little thing before we could make a call

526
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:12,440
more storage I could you know okay like if

527
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:18,680
you don't want MicroSD storage like if you want SSD storage then I could kind

528
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:20,240
of see that 3D scan a giant add-on

529
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,640
module yeah seems like you wouldn't be but you

530
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:28,079
could go okay I want more storage and battery or maybe not micro use full size

531
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:33,079
and you get like two of them oh no if it had like an SSD sorry SSD I know but

532
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:37,160
that would be huge no no not like 2 and a half in SSD like like like apple did

533
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:43,280
with the iPhone 6 where it's like you want a little compact SSD I could see

534
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:46,079
that um desktop grade GPU everything you

535
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:50,280
guys want is terrible I'm sorry better internet audio module an awesome camera

536
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:57,480
okay it doesn't really work that way it's just a module that kind of like slides into the bottom but um to Ali

537
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:01,480
here like when phone block when and if phone blocks becomes a thing

538
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:06,160
that's the kind of stuff that that'll do uh Yono jono wants the audio module a

539
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:10,160
physical keyboard Galaxy S7 uses micro USB

540
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:15,119
because of the gear VR yep that makes perfect sense thank you for pointing that out that doesn't mean I have to be

541
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:20,680
happy about it they could release a new um decent front-facing speakers okay

542
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:24,960
it's a little module that slides into the bottom so I don't know how well

543
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:29,760
that's going to work I love you guys but I think um maybe we should should have

544
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:32,160
shown a better picture of um the thing

545
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:39,960
that we were doing thank you for

546
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:42,160
that $1,000 HDMI you should better phone

547
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,599
all Linus videos all the time stylus module Windows in VM with Bluetooth

548
00:40:44,319 --> 00:40:49,760
mouse and keyboard

549
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:54,800
h okay infrared two micro SD two more

550
00:40:53,720 --> 00:41:00,400
micro SDs um hanging in there

551
00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:04,200
Tony read the reviews off Amazon oh people everyone's talking okay so that

552
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,319
was one of our less successful Twitter Blitz Blitz is usually you guys have a

553
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:12,200
lot of like really really great suggestions but it probably would have

554
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:18,599
helped if I'd shown better someone in the chat said Ty C module a type- c

555
00:41:15,359 --> 00:41:21,319
module uh doesn't the G5 use type- C

556
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:28,040
already let me check I'm not sure I missed that part

557
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:32,079
uh that's a lot of notes not in my notes

558
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:33,480
so I if it's already got a USB connector

559
00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:37,720
and quite frankly if it supports wireless charging it's less the the

560
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:42,359
crappy durability of the micro b is less of an issue for me it could be kind of

561
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:46,040
cool though if the charger for the phone was

562
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:49,079
modular just in case you screw the charger up by like having it in your

563
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,319
pocket and having it torque or whatever if you be like oh well right yeah it's

564
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,800
like yeah I'm eating you know 60 bucks or whatever overpriced price tag they

565
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:01,680
want to put on at least I don't have to buy a whole new pH at least I don't have to buy a whole new one uh before we jump

566
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:06,240
into our next topic now's a perfect opportunity to talk about

567
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:10,280
freshbook people in the chat are saying it's type c okay it is Type C thank you

568
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:14,760
for that then I thought so but it wasn't in my notes so I couldn't double check

569
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:19,079
freshbooks is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses

570
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:22,640
look professional and get paid faster not only will you look more professional

571
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:26,839
you will be more professional because it helps you stay organized about the way

572
00:42:25,359 --> 00:42:31,599
that you're spending your time the way that you build people and if if you just

573
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:36,400
like walk up with like a paper invoice and go like please give me a check or

574
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:40,960
cash it doesn't look nearly as professional if you have like a system

575
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:45,559
already in place you look Fly by Night compared to if you have like a like you

576
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:51,000
take credit card and or you can take check but yeah looking flexible is a

577
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:56,359
huge part of looking like a bigger business like looking like you're

578
00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:01,400
successful is uh and it's it's it's kind of a funny thing because I there's got

579
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:07,040
to be people on Earth who would go oh that contractor takes credit card

580
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:09,359
therefore he or she must overcharge by 2

581
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:13,520
and a half% in order to compensate for the credit card fee there's probably

582
00:43:11,319 --> 00:43:18,000
someone on Earth who literally finds the contractor who only does paper invoices

583
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:22,760
and checks because they go that's my kind of cheap skate um I want them to

584
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:27,400
use the worst materials but to the rest of the world

585
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:32,040
looking like you've got your stuff together and like that you can afford to

586
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:36,079
have proper systems in place for things like invoicing and payment it really

587
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:39,480

626
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:31,800
performance test okay so the O op is not filled out here original article here is

627
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:37,720
from kit Guru um but valve released their VR performance test it's there at

628
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:40,640
that portal based uh demo that I got an

629
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:47,040
opportunity to do at CES um and the point of it is basically to determine if

630
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,839
you have the horses to run in VR with

631
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:54,160
the conclusion being that the odds are excellent that you indeed do not um

632
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:58,200
Luke's got a video coming out where he talks about this Benchmark as as well as

633
00:46:56,599 --> 00:47:03,839
I think you're going to encourage people to create a database of yeah so you

634
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:09,440
should still watch the video but what it really kind of boils down to is that we

635
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:14,240
have a fantastic cinebench community on the Forum I think it's made by jumper

636
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,079
118 hopefully I remember that correctly

637
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:19,760
um and it's awesome there's over 500 submissions everyone submits their

638
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:23,000
cinebench codes I actually look at that every once in a while just to check

639
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:26,319
where things are sitting it's pretty cool and I want to create the same kind

640
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:32,400
of thing based around uh steam VR performance

641
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,000
test results to figure out how ready the

642
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,400
actual Enthusiast Community is because there's problems and I go over it in the

643
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:43,680
video y because as as interesting as the steam Hardware survey is I have a lot of

644
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:47,640
machines personally yeah a big part of the video talks about not gaming

645
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:52,119
machines yeah junk data that's in the hardware server which isn't necessarily

646
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:56,720
junk data for game developers that aren't developing for VR but how many

647
00:47:54,920 --> 00:48:03,280
machines do you have that you actually intend to play VR games on probably one

648
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:06,480
or zero and I have like seven machines

649
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:09,119
in the hardware survey at least Y so

650
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:12,880
like yeah I don't know I mean with the number of test benches that I set up

651
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:19,400
I've got to have dozens in there to be perfectly honest yeah all right the

652
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:23,880
unthinkable has happened radon and

653
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,880
GeForce together in direct

654
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:31,599
X12 so this is the dx12 explicit

655
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:34,839
multi-GPU mode and the way that it

656
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:39,119
supposedly works is that it takes any

657
00:48:34,839 --> 00:48:43,480
direct X12 compliant device and utilizes

658
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:47,400
its resources in the best way possible

659
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:50,040
um oh wow we need to go pretty soon um

660
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:58,079
in the best way possible for performance boost that is not Reliant in any way on

661
00:48:53,680 --> 00:49:02,240
SLI or Crossfire and can indeed work

662
00:48:58,079 --> 00:49:05,400
across mixed vendor multi-GPU setups so

663
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:06,839
PC World tested it out and uh this

664
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,240
feature is going to is still in beta by the way but it will make its debut in

665
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,760
ashes of the singularity which is launching next month and so Gordon M PC

666
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:22,040
World benchmarked with a resolution of 2560 x600 with the crazy presets uh two

667
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:26,079
GTX 980s with SLI a single gtx980 a

668
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:28,000
single Fury X and gtx980 plus

669
00:49:26,079 --> 00:49:33,799
Fury X which will be the really interesting one got the results here so

670
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:36,799
the gtx980 plus Fury X actually

671
00:49:33,799 --> 00:49:40,760
performed the best at 56.3 frames per

672
00:49:36,799 --> 00:49:45,079
second with the 980 plus 980 SLI off

673
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:49,200
multi-GPU on outperforming 980 plus 980

674
00:49:45,079 --> 00:49:54,040
SLI on now with that said this is just

675
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:57,200
like an FPS graph FPS average not like

676
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,160
yeah we need PC per yeah we need we need

677
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:06,160
Captain Shrout to to have a look at the frame times

678
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:09,240
tell us if there's stuttering or micro

679
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:12,599
stuttering or any kind of other anomaly

680
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:15,520
in in this data that is not evident

681
00:50:12,599 --> 00:50:22,200
unless you're using a frame a capture device and uh and NVIDIA's Tool in order

682
00:50:18,599 --> 00:50:24,200
to see yeah like something like this

683
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:28,240
where it's a technology there's a new technology yeah we we need a much deeper

684
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:34,319
dive to figure out what's actually going on and if

685
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:36,319
NVIDIA could just go okay balls to the

686
00:50:34,319 --> 00:50:39,920
wall here we go we're going to use all the processing power of the gpus I

687
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:44,319
suspect they would but they've been really focused like all their messaging

688
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:51,359
about SLI since the launch of the 980 has been about smoothness butter smooth

689
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:54,720
consistency of the frame delivery not necessarily about the frame rate they

690
00:50:53,319 --> 00:50:57,880
deliver good frame rates there's no doubt of that but that's not what

691
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:03,480
they're talking about and not what they're focused on when it comes to driver and Hardware development right

692
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:08,319
now so it's possible that that frame rate is not

693
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:14,000
meaningful it's also possible that this is like bananas and the coolest thing

694
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:16,240
ever sort of because there is one big

695
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:21,680
caveat and that is that the developer has to specifically implement this

696
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:25,040
feature oh and based on how many

697
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:27,839
developers even today are still not

698
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:33,240
working with NVIDIA and AMD on CrossFire or SLI support never let alone at launch

699
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:36,000
like at all um I don't have much hope

700
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:40,680
for this being like the way forward for gaming and building your system based

701
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:43,359
around the idea that whatever game

702
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:50,319
you're going to play has this enabled is crazy unless you only plan to play games

703
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:52,640
that are already out yeah so yeah uh

704
00:51:50,319 --> 00:51:57,160
this was posted on the Forum by uh cloaked and the original article here is

705
00:51:54,440 --> 00:52:02,359
from business insight Ider a 19-year-old made a free robot lawyer that has

706
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:07,799
appealed $3 million in parking tickets in the UK pretty cool so sure the

707
00:52:05,799 --> 00:52:13,559
government's super stoked about this kid's robot yeah

708
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:18,960
so that's awesome so hiring a lawyer for a parking ticket appeal um is not only a

709
00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:23,520
headache but can cost more than just paying the ticket which is one of the

710
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:25,480
things that they rely on it's it's way

711
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:32,400
less hassle to just pay the ticket than is to try and fight it um however with

712
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:39,079
the help of this robot created by Joshua Browder who is 19 years old all you have

713
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:41,079
to do is give the robot some information

714
00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:46,240
and it asks you these questions and generates an appeal letter which you

715
00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:48,480
then mail to the court without ever

716
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:55,000
requiring a lawyer to draft the letter that's awesome um it can also help with

717
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:57,319
delayed or cancelled flights or or uh on

718
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:03,480
P payment protection insurance claims and he's working to program US city laws

719
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:05,599
into the bot starting with New York uh

720
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,920
for everything I know right Browder doesn't think that robots will be

721
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:14,359
dealing in the US Supreme Court anytime soon but he says fewer lawyers will do

722
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:19,520
mundane tasks and people will save money on stupid little disputes which I

723
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:22,280
absolutely love not only that aw but it

724
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:25,720
learns oh that's cool yeah so the more people use the robot the more

725
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:29,599
intelligent it becomes so I guess anytime it fails at something I might

726
00:53:27,319 --> 00:53:33,359
analyze why I'm not sure exactly how it learns but entrepreneurs are already

727
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:38,280
talking to Browder about implementing the bot into

728
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,920
cars so I'm not sure exactly why you

729
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:45,319
would need to be able to dispute your ticket directly from the uh while you I

730
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:50,599
guess people that want to deal with it immediately I guess so or maybe if

731
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:57,160
there's new cars where they don't just have to put a ticket on your dash where

732
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,160
they can like give your car the ticket

733
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,119
and then you can dispute it completely

734
00:54:01,799 --> 00:54:10,920
automatically I don't know man I can't see you know I can't see impark being

735
00:54:07,319 --> 00:54:13,319
that stoked on that um uh I don't care

736
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:17,440
if imp Park is stoked on anything though yeah me neither I hate those guys

737
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:21,640
they're so freaking annoying I've never even gotten a ticket from them and I

738
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:26,640
hate them uh this kind of sucked uh you were actually in the middle of working

739
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:29,119
on something that used um oh my God

740
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:38,720
Linux last week uh so this was posted by pandol on the Forum and the the mint

741
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:43,040
Linux um iso download was compromised so

742
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:45,839
if you installed mint off of that ISO it

743
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:50,240
actually had a back door in it um can you explain how the crap something like

744
00:54:47,799 --> 00:54:55,559
that happens uh it wouldn't even actually be that hard if they had access

745
00:54:53,880 --> 00:55:00,079
to the server where people are downloading the isos from and they just

746
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:04,680
replace the iso with one of theirs that has extra stuff on

747
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,400
it that's kind of all they need and I

748
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:11,520
mean even the most conscientious downloader who's checking the md5 check

749
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:15,799
sums I mean if they can just replace the md5 check sum on the download server

750
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:21,760
then you have no way of no way of checking um that the iso you downloaded

751
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:26,160
is actually compromised so I was using mint it doesn't actually matter I could

752
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:31,599
use a a huge array of other things but it's

753
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:33,480
just frustrating because I had to start

754
00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:38,559
not quite from scratch but I had to redownload other things and reset up my

755
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:42,440
whatever and things sucked that video is not going to be coming for a while doc

756
00:55:40,799 --> 00:55:47,760
swag posted this one on the Forum the original article here is from wccf Tech

757
00:55:45,359 --> 00:55:47,760
dang it

758
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:57,240
Brandon uh okay hold on I think our stream

759
00:55:54,200 --> 00:56:01,559
computer is running off of the UPS right

760
00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:03,319
now uh what just happened no no no we're

761
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:09,000
not we do have power why doesn't that have power it's

762
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:12,079
pluged okay and that's not working anymore just take a

763
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:19,400
second okay cuz it's not on at all you know that it's it's not even glowing

764
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:25,839
slightly this looks kind of cool yeah it's like uh when show Noir Halloween

765
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:29,079
edition sorry we need a I kind of I kind of like it we should do like a really my

766
00:56:27,559 --> 00:56:34,280
phone yeah I want to do like a spooky story thing we should do like a really serious WAN Show um I don't know where

767
00:56:33,119 --> 00:56:45,799
your phone is anyway so PlayStation VR effectively

768
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:48,280
60% more powerful than an equally speced

769
00:56:45,799 --> 00:56:55,599
PC apparently very very interesting the way

770
00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:58,039
that they're achieving this is the usual

771
00:56:55,599 --> 00:57:03,559
console Advantage so with the lower level access to the hardware um with the

772
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:08,839
fact that game developers can program for a specific set of Hardware so so all

773
00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:16,680
those things that we're used to seeing but there is also some unexpected Secret

774
00:57:12,799 --> 00:57:19,319
Sauce as well so let's go ahead and uh

775
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:24,400
and pull this up so this is so Sony's Richard Marx held a presentation during

776
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,400
the AR VR Vision Summit February 10th to

777
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:32,720
11th and the Pres presentation provided an overview of PlayStation VR and the basic

778
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:35,319
development process apparently thanks to

779
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:41,359
the fixed Hardware the latency is extremely low we're talking less than 18

780
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:46,799
milliseconds which doesn't sound that low to me there's some problems with

781
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:53,359
this it's got a 100 degree field of view I I do wonder if that's a typo in our

782
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:57,480
notes though that is possible

783
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:59,760
um super low latency of less than 18

784
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:04,599
milliseconds mind you if that's end to end if that's end to end that's pretty

785
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:12,200
damn impressive it's probably end to end okay um 100° field of view which

786
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:14,960
is yeah okay like that's that's not too

787
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:21,559
shabby I haven't tried Project Morpheus so um now the 60% more powerful than

788
00:58:19,359 --> 00:58:27,319
same speec PC point was apparently reported by middleware providers not son

789
00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:31,280
and has also been confirmed by a VR developer on Reddit Brandon I really

790
00:58:28,799 --> 00:58:38,240
don't think that light is on

791
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:41,960
okay um who said psvr is extremely close

792
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:45,520
to being on par with Vive and the rift

793
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:48,599
with a GTX 970 based on the tests that

794
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:51,960
I've done wow so if your app runs at 90

795
00:58:48,599 --> 00:58:53,960
HZ on a PS on a PC with a GTX 970 then

796
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:59,760
you should be very close to 60 on the PS4 and with the 120 HZ reproduction

797
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:06,160
applied it is glassy smooth so psvr only required about one

798
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:11,880
quar of the render Target size that Vive requires the PS4 has hardly any driver

799
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:16,359
overhead compared to Windows the draw calls on the PS4 are faster than with

800
00:59:13,799 --> 00:59:24,799
directx11 on a PC I noticed that direct X12 is being conveniently ignored here

801
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:26,240
um there's also a 20% buffer for

802
00:59:24,799 --> 00:59:30,280
classified techniques that further reduce the

803
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:38,480
render Target size so the Vive render Target is 457 million pixels per second

804
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:40,680
so that's 1512 X 1680 * 2 * 90 Herz

805
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:46,920
whereas the psvr is approximately a million 1920 x 1080 by 60 um minus

806
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:53,319
approximately 20% but we don't know what that 20% is yeah

807
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:58,920
um if I'mma just wait till they come out

808
00:59:53,319 --> 01:00:01,400
yeah I mean to say that a 60 to 120 htz

809
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:05,240
upsampling or what what what what are they what are they

810
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:12,359
callu uh reproduction works

811
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:15,880
well we'll see yeah we'll see I mean

812
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:18,200
even for video playback I have found

813
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:24,920
that those kinds of you know clear motion uh Technologies are are are very

814
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:29,280
um they're great as long long as the motion is predictable and the processor

815
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:33,319
which by the way doesn't operate at 18 milliseconds as long as you give that

816
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:38,079
TV's processor a lot of time and as long as the motion is predictable can

817
01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:39,280
actually be like wow I didn't know that

818
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:43,960
there weren't actually more frames in the original content like very

819
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:49,400
believable but something as unpredictable as a game an interactive

820
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:53,119
medium we'll see yeah I mean I want to try it that would be cool might sound a

821
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,280
little bit weird coming for me but that would be absolutely fantastic because

822
01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:00,359
right now what VR needs mostly is just wided option so if a huge amount of

823
01:00:59,119 --> 01:01:05,559
PlayStation players get behind it and then VR becomes a super normal thing

824
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:10,720
sick yeah great yeah that's awesome bring on Bring it on to the mainstream

825
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:14,119
I'll believe it more when I see it but

826
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:17,880
awesome the op here is Mr Troll and the

827
01:01:14,119 --> 01:01:21,079
Gears of War Ultimate Edition PC gets

828
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:24,640
screenshots file sized and requirements

829
01:01:21,079 --> 01:01:29,480
apparently the ideal specs are 16 gig

830
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:32,280
RAM with a 980 TI or an R9

831
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:39,119
390x to be fair though the minimum specs go down to a 650 TI and a 260x which is

832
01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:41,400
exactly how PC games should be yeah they

833
01:01:39,119 --> 01:01:45,520
should scale all the way down for people who don't have the horses and they

834
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:50,359
should scale all the way up for the people who are investing all this money

835
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:55,960
into a gaming experience that they want to have that games refuse to deliver

836
01:01:53,119 --> 01:02:01,760
because of the console cuz the ideal specs are like a chunk above the

837
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:05,039
recommended specs yes which is sick

838
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:08,559
super down with that yeah so minimum is

839
01:02:05,039 --> 01:02:13,599
650 TI with like an AMD fx6 core or a

840
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:16,520
core i5 at 2.7 GHz recommended is a

841
01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:20,960
gtx970 um which is uh actually the highest percentage graphics card on the

842
01:02:18,119 --> 01:02:25,799
steam Hardware server yeah yep so like sure so like I get it okay I'm stoked

843
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:30,960
cuz I've never played Gears of War I played one of them very possibly

844
01:02:29,279 --> 01:02:34,720
the first one well I'm stoked I'm I'm going to

845
01:02:33,279 --> 01:02:42,079
play it I haven't actually played a game in the last little while so I'm going to play that that's my that's my objective

846
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:45,960
um really interesting article this one was posted by Patrick 3027 on the Forum

847
01:02:44,599 --> 01:02:52,200
original article here is from torrent freak software piracy hurts Linux

848
01:02:49,039 --> 01:02:55,200
adoption research finds most of the

849
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:58,480
research sometimes it's research um into

850
01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:01,160
piracy is focused on determining how it

851
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:09,000
hurts paid software options like Microsoft Office or like uh you know uh

852
01:03:05,559 --> 01:03:10,960
Adobe um wow I can't remember why can't

853
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:14,240
I remember what Premiere I was trying to figure out for so long how this would

854
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:20,319
even be possible but now I totally get it yeah so the this this new research

855
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:24,880
suggests that software piracy has a detrimental effect on the adoption of

856
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:31,319
the Linux desktop operating systems and I would go as far as to say that a that

857
01:03:27,799 --> 01:03:33,720
makes total sense oh yeah and B that you

858
01:03:31,319 --> 01:03:40,119
could say the same thing about any free software and free software is is driven

859
01:03:37,359 --> 01:03:43,559
by user base they benefit from whether it's ad supported or whether it's

860
01:03:41,559 --> 01:03:49,559
donation supported the more people who use it the better and if people run out

861
01:03:46,599 --> 01:03:55,079
and just pirate paid software then what they're effectively doing is they are

862
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:58,200
taking the wind out of the sales of

863
01:03:55,079 --> 01:04:00,920
open-source or uh free- to use software

864
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:06,720
developers which is a really interesting new way to think about that so the way

865
01:04:04,279 --> 01:04:12,000
that they tackled it was they looked at um actually the notes for this one are

866
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:17,480
not very good um but they looked at it on a regional basis so they went okay

867
01:04:15,279 --> 01:04:23,039
this country has an estimated piracy rate of this they accounted for factors

868
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:26,720
such as the GDP of the country um and

869
01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:28,799
local anti-piracy efforts and estimated

870
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:35,640
that the number of Linux users would increase by 50% if all piracy

871
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:38,599
disappeared I'm surprised it's that

872
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:42,960
low I think that a lot of people pirate simply because they can not because they

873
01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:46,240
can't afford the software so I think that's why they're trying to factor in

874
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:49,720
things like the country's GDP and average income when I did I'll admit to

875
01:04:48,119 --> 01:04:56,520
that it was completely because I couldn't afford the software right like

876
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:59,799
100% I there was was no way um there was

877
01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:02,760
it was a mix for me when I did um like

878
01:04:59,799 --> 01:05:06,599
there was there was definitely some I ease of use things I straight up can't

879
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:11,319
afford this and then there was other like you know what actually you know

880
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:17,039
what I did pay for Vista um I was going to say stuff like Windows

881
01:05:14,119 --> 01:05:22,359
Vista where it's like yeah I'm going to use this for like a bit and I'm probably

882
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:24,400
going to go back to XP so um I've pired

883
01:05:22,359 --> 01:05:29,960
to test things I I diday I did playay for Vista though yeah I liked Vista it

884
01:05:27,599 --> 01:05:32,760
was fun CU you had a super op computer yes I did I don't want to get into that

885
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:36,799
conversation and that's the other thing too is I think that's where the piracy

886
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:40,119
because I can't afford it argument gets really inexcusable is like if you went

887
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:46,920
and spent a bunch of money on your computer and you can't afford $100 for a Windows license then

888
01:05:44,279 --> 01:05:53,000
then I don't know how your computer budgeting worked um and all of

889
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:55,640
that um are we done do we need to go yeah I think that's pretty much it we

890
01:05:54,119 --> 01:05:59,599
should probably uh should probably get CRA aacan thank you guys for tuning into

891
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:04,880
to the WAN Show we will see you guys again next week same bat Time same bat

892
01:06:02,359 --> 01:06:08,799
Channel why are you holding that get

893
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:13,680
it no one's going to understand but you might understand oh yes yeah we're we're

894
01:06:10,839 --> 01:06:17,720
going to play hockey yeah and that's not how you use it though this is a g this

895
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,880
is a Gordon Freeman crowbar it is used like

896
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:30,079
this it's the only correct way to use a Gord Freeman crowbar good call all right

897
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,079
thanks guys see you next time

898
01:06:30,279 --> 01:06:33,279
yay
