WEBVTT

00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:11.400
all right ladies and gentlemen welcome to the W and everyone else too welcome

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:14.799
to the W show we are finally live um I

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.680
was helping Luke uh create is he what

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:22.279
the oh but I was helping Luke uh create

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:24.119
custom length Ethernet cables by um

00:00:22.279 --> 00:00:28.400
basically looking at what he was doing going wow gee that looks too hard and

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:31.800
then going and getting some Ethernet cables I happened to buy a few months

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:35.239
ago that happened to be the length of the cables he was trying to make and

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.800
handing them to him so uh he should be wrapping that up pretty darn quickly and

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

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.520
around Mobile World Congress obviously that was the big thing that happened

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:54.520
this week lots of you know you know news about the uh latest happenings in the

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:59.600
desktop computer world I need like a cricket sound effect

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

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.520
know your Samsung your LG your caterpillar um evidently that that's

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

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

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:23.720
on Direct X12 explicit multi-GPU mode has been tested by PC World so we're

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.000
going to check that out um I don't know

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:30.759
I'm sure there was something else that's interesting Arrow Cool's DreamBox

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:32.960
chassis kit potentially a a more maker

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:39.920
friendly chassis than we've ever seen before and uh software piracy apparently

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:44.640
hurts Linux adoption a research uh study

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.640
find so uh more on that at

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.840
11

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

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.239
over like yeah I I wish that was a thing

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.920
that I could do all right so here we go we're starting

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.480
over welcome to the W show guys boom

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:20.480
let's roll the

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:29.000
intro oh boy all right so I think the

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:31.360
first topic today is gonna be uh let's

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:38.720
see what can I what can I handle without my my dynamic duo Ultimo sidekick here

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

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

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.480
I'm going to be listing specs for the next 20 minutes um which I actually

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

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:57.319
says strike the F1 key to continue it's

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

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:09.560
even hit you got to strike you got to hit with Precision accuracy

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:15.239
intimidation I'm just stalling for time at this point all right so let's jump

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:17.480
into the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge unlike

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

00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:27.319
aren't just complete equivalents of each other with one of them having a curved

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

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

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

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:46.879
the S7 Edge are just totally different so the edge now is a larger phone so

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

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.959
display of no excuse me 55 in display

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

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:08.599
Super AMOLED displays and very going to be very similar to their predecessors in

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:14.120
that regard um the camera is a big change on going from the S6 series to

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.639
the S7 Series so they're going down from

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:19.919
a 16 megapixel camera to a 12 megapixel

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:27.160
camera this time around they are doing the whole uh HTC UltraPixel thing except

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.400
that there's a power bar there it's full no no the other

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.800
one um so they're so they're actually

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:39.120
reducing the pixel count in order to use larger pixels for better light capture

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:44.320
especially in low light conditions but hopefully um like apple they're doing it

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

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:50.520
of the camera in more normal shooting

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:55.919
scenarios something that many people complained about with the 1

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:58.960
M7 this is cool so we are getting back

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:00.240
the ip68 water and dust resistance so

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

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

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:14.080
so Snapdragon 820 exos processors in some regions of the world this is so

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

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:22.080
region that these people want to process this way but then again and you know

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

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:30.880
took just over using two different foundaries for the same damn chip design

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:36.080
meanwhile Samsung's like yeah we're just completely different processor don't

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

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

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:54.199
some other big changes so we are getting back micro SD expansion Samsung either

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.080
heard their customers loud and clear or

00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:00.280
this is nothing that they didn't know already and they intentionally withheld

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:05.199
that from the last generation to hope for there to be some reason some reason

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

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

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

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:23.880
bump really premium looking devices this time around with like Glass and Metal

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:27.759
and all that kind of stuff so that's again huge step in the right direction

00:06:25.599 --> 00:06:32.599
love that from Samsung cuz they do it really well when they decide to do it

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

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.479
3,000 milliamp battery and that combined

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:43.080
with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with any power saving features we gain there

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.440
should be enough for you to get great battery life even if you use the always

00:06:45.479 --> 00:06:52.120
on display features so Samsung is claiming that you lose only about a half

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:57.240
a percent of battery per hour in its tests by having the display on all the

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:01.240
time so that's just displaying uh so critical information I mean this is

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:04.840
something that I've seen before you've probably seen before uh things like

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.319
SmartWatches that use AMOLED displays we'll have an always on display so that

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

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

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:26.759
there see you can oh um and I've seen sort of uh ambient

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:29.840
display modes on phones before like the Droid Turbo that had that proximity

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

00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:39.319
that worked really well but this seems pretty good and it won't necessarily be

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

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:47.199
opposite purpose so it'll actually turn off those pixels that it's Illuminating

00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:51.159
to tell you the time or notifications or whatever else and whenever it's in your

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

00:07:53.520 --> 00:08:01.120
down on a table feel bad feel bad about

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:04.120
that because there can be small like

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.360
micr fragments of actually surprisingly

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:11.280
hard minerals like I don't know if people know this but like sand is not

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:14.159
necessarily all made of sand Stone okay

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:19.960
there's all kinds of minerals and elements and deposits and junk in just

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:24.000
regular ordinary sand to the point where my iPhone 6s is scratched to crap just

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

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

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

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:41.919
like you YOLO YOLO I'm going be back on

00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:43.839
the 6s cuz I did so well with the Droid

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

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

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:56.399
good at this like taking care of my phone thing with that said not all glass

00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.279
or not all scratch resistant glass is made equal even from Gorilla Glass like

00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:05.240
I swear with exactly the same treatment I

00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:09.519
have encountered phones that scratch very easily that are using the same kind

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:14.079
of glass as ones that just seem to be completely bulletproof like that Droid

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:18.360
Turbo um and seem to be nearly impossible to scratch I think there's a

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.640
there's a binning process that goes on that Corning seems to not talk about

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:26.600
where there are different grades of even every type of Gorilla Glass and it might

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

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:36.120
one or one that is not as good uh we can

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

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

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:48.399
um has a 3600 mamp hour battery and

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:54.560
other than that looks like pretty much the same darn thing so I'm doing way

00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:57.760
fewer phone reviews this day these days there's a couple of reasons for it

00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:04.320
number one is I just don't think they're that different from each other

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:06.760
anymore yeah and number two is that

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:12.360
um I I I was getting it was really wearing on me be because not all

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:16.320
reviewers do this but I actually switch to the phone outright that I am

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

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:23.920
Google authenticator for pretty much everything I do still need to carry

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:29.680
around my daily driver phone cuz switching over all that stuff is a real

00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:31.120
bear um I I only use the other phone for

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:35.440
everything else and it has just been wearing on me to be switching phones all

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

00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:45.480
S7 Edge

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

00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:53.120
you want to see here we

00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:01.680
go straw pull man they make it easy

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:06.959
to do polls Boop there you go so I want to see

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

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:15.600
whatever I'm going to click results now um some more interesting phones so the

00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:21.720
LG G5 seems to have kind of uh jumped out

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:28.279
in front of everyone else on the whole uh modular phone concept certainly not

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:29.519
to the same degree as someone really

00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:34.920
guys the edge it's a 5 1/2 in device I can practically

00:11:31.959 --> 00:11:39.320
write that review right now the phone's really nice it's really fast Samsung

00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:45.079
continues to make improvements to touch wi uh but it's too big for my

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

00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:52.839
the edge apparently very few of you are interested in it at all though this is

00:11:51.079 --> 00:11:58.279
one of the lowest percentage voter turnouts I've ever seen we've got 4,700

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

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:07.240
little better, 1500 um looks like the S7 is making up

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

00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:15.639
really being that interesting anymore thing it looks like uh the G5 does look

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:20.279
legitimately interesting though so not modular to the same degree as something

00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:25.320
like the phone blocks concept where the idea was you'd actually have like almost

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

00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:33.920
these modules that you can modularly plug in or take out and well even

00:12:31.959 --> 00:12:37.720
claiming to be able to do things like a hot swap a battery module while the

00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:40.519
phone is running that's not out yet that's something that's in a lab

00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:47.480
somewhere that probably will see the light of day in the future um but for

00:12:43.079 --> 00:12:49.160
now the G5 does offer some modularity so

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:54.079
the original article here uh this is posted by nin shadow on the Forum the

00:12:51.399 --> 00:13:00.839
last one was Chris row 996 and our original article here is from Android

00:12:57.839 --> 00:13:00.839
authorita

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.880
um so they've got basically most of the

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

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:15.079
processor and RAM and storage and blah blah blah this one most of it is not

00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:19.279
modular it is pretty much a phone uh they've still got the power button on

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:25.560
the back although thankfully for me I I prefer this they've moved the volume

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:29.040
rocker to the side of the phone then um

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:32.560
it's got I think it's a 2800 milliamp B

00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:34.519
battery it's got some dude holding it up

00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:41.240
here design and build quality oh yeah they're going for a much much uh more

00:13:38.760 --> 00:13:48.880
like premium feeling design to it it's got this actually kind of reminds me of

00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:52.360
um oh what was it Nexus S original Nexus

00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:54.040
this actually looks like this rounded

00:13:52.360 --> 00:14:00.800
business here it feels like kind of a dated design language but um yeah Nexus

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

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

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

00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.320
Flack over that um but there's a few unique features to this one that

00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:19.959
actually make it really interesting to me so Snapdragon 820 adreno 530 4 gigs

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

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.880
for the battery I did just uh check on that no support for wireless charging oh

00:14:27.079 --> 00:14:35.079
yeah the last thing that's a total bummer and a missed opportunity about

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:37.839
the S7 and the S7 Edge um micro micr USB

00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:42.480
connector hey it's 2016 if it's not type c I don't want to

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

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:53.199
just Dum um anyway so the G5 supports Quick Charge 3.0 but no wireless

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

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

00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:06.720
it Colton so it just has a more standard

00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:09.519
16 megap camera then this is cool it has

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:14.720
a wideangle 8 megapixel camera and the phone can actually Stitch inputs from

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:20.000
the two cameras into one image and it also allows you to switch between the

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:26.160
135° wide angle and the regular camera manually within the app with an instant

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:27.680
transition this is one of those it is so

00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:33.360
difficult to get the best of both worlds unless you just put two cameras on it

00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:35.120
problems and LG ran out and solved it by

00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:40.120
putting two cameras on it because one of the things that I liked so much about

00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:44.959
the S6 was the relatively wide angle lens particularly on the selfie camera

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:15.800
sorry to take wider shots of close-up subjects or and this is the problem with

00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:18.360
that or or to be able to get a reason reasonable Clarity on a shot of

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

00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:29.160
person because everyone does it when it's like oh this picture of this player

00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:30.920
is special because I took it um

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

00:16:34.040 --> 00:16:39.399
aluminum unibody power button built into the rear fingerprint sensor fingerprint

00:16:38.040 --> 00:16:43.800
sensors are a great thing especially when they're well implemented I am such

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

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

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:59.240
able to really tackle properly in my review but that I can follow up with now

00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:03.440
no matter how many times I re reset my fingerprint in the settings it works

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:09.720
great for a bit and then stops working great and while you could say well lus

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:15.039
it's obvious the answer is that you're a morphling and your fingerprints change

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

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:25.679
before that and I'm now using now after that review works like instantly just

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

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:35.240
to do is swap a it looks like a single module so

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

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:45.160
remove the bottom cap of the phone and swap in these modules so you uh this

00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:50.559
allows access to a replaceable battery or you could add something like a camera

00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:55.240
grip which gives you manual control for

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:57.640
shutter and zoom as well as um as well

00:17:55.240 --> 00:18:02.240
as an increase in the battery capacity so another 12 1200 milliamp hours so

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

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

00:18:08.679 --> 00:18:15.120
from bang and Olson which features a 32bit as if that means anything uh DAC

00:18:13.159 --> 00:18:20.080
as well as a dedicated 3 half mm headphone port and there are apparently

00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:27.720
more modules to come I can't think of too many modules

00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:30.679
that I would particularly want to add to a phone

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

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

00:18:39.159 --> 00:18:47.480
Blitz here um I want to hear from you guys at linch on Twitter what module

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:49.799
would you like to see from LG let's go

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:53.840
ahead and put that right there PC building a fridge does it work come on

00:18:51.600 --> 00:19:00.360
let's bring on those tweets bring on those tweets as many battery modules as

00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:04.440
I can get who does an hourlong podcast

00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:07.080
all by himself not this guy yeah and not

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:10.559
this guy yeah I love your timing we've actually yeah we've actually both done

00:19:08.919 --> 00:19:14.679
that before we have both done that before yeah all right come on guys come

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

00:19:16.760 --> 00:19:22.120
need to make large amounts of noise so okay cool yeah we could talk about that

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

00:19:24.159 --> 00:19:29.480
mean YOLO right um let you do yours

00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:34.440
first do it background so do it in the back or do it

00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:38.039
in the background maybe both oh in the background so we talk about that one

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:42.559
twitch allow that yeah sure so basically essentially uh I live in a rented place

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

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

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

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

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:08.200
can just lean against the wall because up until now all of my networking kit my

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

00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:16.520
and all the cables were just going everywhere and it was disgusting and

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

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

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:31.840
and doing stuff like that it's not perfect but I'm doing it

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:36.000
really fast so I bought $1,000 HDMI cable today

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

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

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

00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:58.679
because if people have been watching people have been watching long enough to

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

00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:06.840
of czy with $1,000 HDMI cable then they

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

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:17.600
so I know the point of the video is that

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

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:27.400
buying an HDMI cable to make a piece of

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:31.799
content about a forementioned HDMI cable

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:35.400
and the issue with the high-end cable

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:37.720
industry is that you've either got the

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

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:46.720
oil and because they get given the cables maybe I'm guessing or they buy

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:52.600
into the snake oil because they bought the cables they can't return them and

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:54.640
they can't admit that they got fleeced

00:21:52.600 --> 00:21:58.600
and I think that's where a lot of this defending purchasing decisions yeah I

00:21:56.320 --> 00:22:04.240
think that's where a lot of this these myths get perpetuated because the

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:09.640
only people willing the only people who have them to talk about them fall into

00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:17.120
one of those two camps for the most part so everyone else all the other people

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:19.640
who know better are too smart to buy one

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

00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:32.480
spent ,000 oh on an yeah that's so much worse

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:36.679
on an all silver we are talking silver

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:39.679
wires okay the premium of the premium

00:22:36.679 --> 00:22:43.000
one meter cable and then I am

00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:45.919
legitimately going to Benchmark it in a

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:49.880
way that should actually be meaningful oh yeah see that's the part you didn't

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

00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:58.159
going to do that too um that is unless it actually turns out to perform better

00:22:55.840 --> 00:23:02.679
because in my Benchmark there is a chance in fact my Benchmark will give it

00:23:01.679 --> 00:23:09.440
every Advantage because while watching a video

00:23:06.760 --> 00:23:16.279
um or listening to audio over a forementioned HDMI cable

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.559
literally cannot at least on this Earth

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:24.919
be affected by the silver wires I believe that it is possible if

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:30.840
the design of their cable is truly Superior that I will be able to

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:33.039
overclock a monitor further with it oh

00:23:30.840 --> 00:23:38.480
because monitor overclocking is dependent on the cleanliness of the

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:43.760
signal as well as the Headroom that's

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:47.000
left in the scaler of the monitor so my

00:23:43.760 --> 00:23:50.480
intention is to take a high refresh rate

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:52.799
high resolution free sync monitor so

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:59.000
it's got a high powerered scaler in it and then using HDMI

00:23:55.520 --> 00:24:01.520
1.4 I am going to over clock as high as

00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:05.520
I can with the silver cable and overclock as high as I can with a $4

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:11.720
cable from mono price if it performs better in a

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:16.080
repeatable consistent fashion then the cable is superior but that won't change

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

00:24:18.679 --> 00:24:23.480
any meaningful way because you could just get a DisplayPort cable yeah um

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:28.960
and you're not overclocking your home theater because all the content you're

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:32.279
watching on that runs at 24 to maximum

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:35.120
60 frames per second the chat brought up

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

00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:43.159
why didn't you just buy the better monitor um that's not the point because

00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:50.240
you can overclock better than the best monitor yeah huh yeah all right yeah to

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

00:24:52.399 --> 00:25:00.799
possible way at all yes and so we are going to we are going

00:24:57.159 --> 00:25:02.799
to do our best to answer that question

00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:08.640
that no one cared about because no one was going to buy that cable who watches

00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:09.760
our videos definitively um so yeah I I

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

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:20.320
really fun for me is that sounds fun is like taking the the the general wisdom

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:25.880
and actually testing it which I guarantee you I guarantee you almost

00:25:23.520 --> 00:25:31.000
every single person who says expensive HDMI cables are a waste has has never

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

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:38.480
I'm I'm not going to it just means they

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:42.679
haven't used one they're taking what someone else said as the truth you're

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

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

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

00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:58.440
like an we'll audition the cable you know we'll have like a listening party

00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:02.520
check out how dancable it is ooh

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

00:26:05.159 --> 00:26:13.000
think that's pretty I think that's pretty famous okay the the dancable

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:17.240
cables yeah um expensive cables you

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:20.919
should oh oh no no Heavens no all right

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:22.640
so um let's uh let's jump into oh this

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

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

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:35.679
some like positive Microsoft

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:44.960
news and this is some pretty positive Microsoft news the H the HP Elite X3 um

00:26:43.159 --> 00:26:49.880
we we talked about the leaks last week but obviously there are more details is

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:56.720
announced and it is designed to be your Windows Phone laptop and desktop to

00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:58.360
which my reply would be sorry good bites

00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:03.799
and everyone else who who thinks this is relevant this is not relevant we're not

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

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

00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:16.600
of RAM is not nearly enough well amount

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:20.000
of tabs that I run on casual desktop experience okay it's not nearly enough

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

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:27.880
gigs of RAM for my tabs bro me too sadly

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

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

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

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

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

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:51.559
about being too busy to close a tab it's

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:56.880
about that you're legitimately working on every single thing that's open in a

00:27:53.159 --> 00:27:59.039
tab and and and when you get that busy

00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:04.200
you you start to you start to think about your time very differently the 3

00:28:01.399 --> 00:28:08.519
seconds that it takes to type in a URL is not worth the organization of not

00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:14.200
just having that tab open already and when you're really busy and you work on

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:16.760
the same tasks repeatedly you actually

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

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:26.000
tab number two is usually my second work Gmail for when I need to reply to

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:30.840
something tab number three is going to be my personal Gmail well no not my

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:34.919
personal my YouTube my YouTube like personal Gmail tab number four is this

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:38.679
tab number and and you actually and so it's like this chunk is usually like

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

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

00:28:46.159 --> 00:28:51.320
a whole window for Forum management which has like the tiered system that

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

00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:02.240
like so like work email I have work email inbox and then I have work email

00:28:59.679 --> 00:29:07.120
like working on whatever this is so like yeah yeah yeah social land like

00:29:05.159 --> 00:29:11.039
whatever music is currently going on all that kind of stuff's in that window then

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

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:21.000
life all those have stacked yeah tab life um ridiculous all right so back to

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

00:29:23.399 --> 00:29:31.720
Chrome has its own issues though my Chrome at home is just brain explosion

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:37.120
like total brain explosion my Chrome on my laptop has another has an issue too

00:29:33.679 --> 00:29:39.159
like whenever I VNC into our servers i

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:45.320
chrome it's the one computer it doesn't work perfectly on um

00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:47.120
it's just ridiculous I remember the

00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:51.679
whole idea behind Chrome remember the commercials apparently

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

00:29:53.000 --> 00:30:00.480
with the new notifications waiting for me to hit that the light yeah yeah it's

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

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:15.120
Windows 10 mobile device you can get 4150 Milah battery that I like 5.96 in

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:16.640
AMOLED uh Quad HD display uh quad core

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:20.679
qualcom blah blah blah 64 gigs of storage expandable to two terabytes with

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

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:29.240
you need to re-evaluate your strategy that's a really terrible idea

00:30:29.320 --> 00:30:35.600
think that could be to be terab but that

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

00:30:38.919 --> 00:30:46.360
megapixel uh rear camera 8 megapixel front camera Windows hello Iris and

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:51.399
fingerprint scanners that's pretty darn cool IP67 rating for DUS and waterproof

00:30:48.919 --> 00:30:57.919
mil military standard 810 rating 1 M drop very nice Chi and PMA wireless

00:30:55.159 --> 00:31:01.600
charging holy freaking crap bit lock ER encryption image

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:05.240
encryption yes and here's where we get into the really interesting stuff

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:12.120
because it has continum it allows you to either wired

00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:15.080
Le or W oh yeah USB 3.0 type-c way to go

00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:20.519
wired wired Le shut up wirly or wirelessly you're so

00:31:17.399 --> 00:31:24.559
mean connect to a couple of accessories

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:26.000
that HP has so one is this doc that I

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

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:36.880
have a cool name pencil have a pretentious name because

00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:41.159
For Better or For Worse it helps me remember it um that allow that gives you

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:46.080
a DisplayPort which by the way can be adapted to HDMI two full size powered

00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:50.960
usb3 ports with Device charging capability One USB type-c connector and

00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:56.880
a Kensington lock um and then there's actually a laptop that has no actual

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:59.960
system in it um it has a 12 and 1 12 in screen keyboard touchpad speakers

00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:05.000
headphone jack Ethernet port two fullsize usb3 connectors One USB 3.0

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:09.519
type-c connector and a 48w hour battery that does not feature its own CPU the

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:12.799
phone actually transmits to the laptop wirelessly so you can keep it in your

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:16.880
pocket once it is connected to the laptop very very cool so hold on a

00:32:15.639 --> 00:32:23.320
second lus that sounds awesome and it sounds like you're amped on this great

00:32:19.679 --> 00:32:24.960
Point except the reason I'm not amped is

00:32:23.320 --> 00:32:28.639
because it needs two more generations and this is not hp's fault this is

00:32:27.120 --> 00:32:34.159
Intel's fault for not getting their head in the game on their mobile x86

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:39.000
processors tell me about this when it runs

00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:41.639
x86 because the beauty of Windows is the

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:47.039
application compatibility the Achilles heel of Windows mobile is the

00:32:44.399 --> 00:32:51.639
application compatibility I mean I was I was just I was browsing aimlessly on the

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

00:32:54.919 --> 00:33:01.600
not only not developing for Windows mobile but pulling their apps and it was like

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:06.880
terrible it was like American Airlines like Pinterest like it was just like

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:11.799
devastating devastating apps that are discontinuing development or flat out

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:18.639
pulling their apps from the platform citing a lack of users as the reason for

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:22.360
it um so until you can tell me about

00:33:18.639 --> 00:33:25.519
x86 Intel powered phones I'm really not

00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:27.519
that interested but when you can wow am

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:33.159
I ever excited about this like as someone who carries around a

00:33:30.679 --> 00:33:40.000
supremely op laptop um I also have recognized that

00:33:37.080 --> 00:33:46.840
other than my Chrome hungry hungry hipping um I don't need that much power

00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:51.000
when I'm out and about so something like this could be

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:54.760
fantastic if it has compatibility for all the stupid junk I needed to run and

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

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

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:07.360
powerful CPU we're going to have everything that I can imagine today

00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:12.119
wanting although my needs might change in the next year and year or two right

00:34:10.040 --> 00:34:16.480
so it might get even worse uh Razer has confirmed they're sending over a blade

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:19.440
stealth um we're really late on that I actually looked back at my emails and

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:23.919
they were like let me get back to you tomorrow on availability it was like 5

00:34:21.520 --> 00:34:26.079
weeks ago so today I was like I'm getting requests to review the blade

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

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

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

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

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

00:34:47.879 --> 00:34:52.359
stealth super late so I really think I should be the first with the core oh

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

00:34:56.040 --> 00:35:01.680
don't know how much they like me though to be perfectly honest like Razer like

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

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:09.160
device arrives I'm just going to say whatever um like Razer razer's gotten

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.640
some pretty bad reviews here over the years um they've also gotten good ones

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

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

00:35:20.359 --> 00:35:24.280
think they intentionally snubbed me on the blade stealth or like were laid on

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

00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:33.720
attitude about it when we say something negative about their products like

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

00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:42.560
have relationships with pretty much every company whose products we review

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

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

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:54.240
reality of it we've done that we've got some pretty inflammatory stuff back

00:35:51.720 --> 00:35:57.319
sometimes uh the mounting thing are we still talking about that which one is

00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:59.920
that the cooler the cooler remember it was really hard

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

00:36:02.720 --> 00:36:08.560
quiet yeah yeah yeah yeah so so stuff like that like yeah they they weren't

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

00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:17.920
I think viewers I hope viewers should recognize and understand is that even if

00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:22.839
we say something negative and even if they don't like it the mature companies

00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:26.960
the guys like a Corsair or a Razer are going to continue to deal with us

00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:31.680
regardless which I think is better for them better for us and better for the

00:36:29.640 --> 00:36:37.119
consumer because ultimately if the company tries to control what we say we

00:36:34.359 --> 00:36:40.319
will make the decision to either buy the products ourselves if we think they

00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:44.280
really need to be covered or we just won't work with them anymore and Astro

00:36:42.040 --> 00:36:48.640
is a perfect example of that um I actually covered that in a video that I

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:52.640
don't believe is released yet oh um but they they straight up never replied to

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:56.119
an email from me um after I released a negative review of the A50 which quite

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

00:36:58.520 --> 00:37:03.520
good as any of the other wireless head headsets I tested it

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

00:37:08.560 --> 00:37:13.839
things where I think it comes down to the the pedigree of the company as well

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

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:23.800
boys about it when we don't like something um with Corsair we like yeah

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

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:32.960
point or no we don't agree this is why uh because their pedigree is enthusiasts

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

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:40.720
I'm not going to make disparaging remarks or anything like that but if you

00:37:38.560 --> 00:37:46.440
just read their company history they are literally a branding firm that is

00:37:44.319 --> 00:37:50.240
literally their Core Business that they did and I believe still do that they

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:55.160
just kind of went oh well we're really good at this I'm assuming making

00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:58.480
assumption okay that it seems like what they did is they went oh we're really

00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:03.359
good at just like taking something and building a brand around it so why don't

00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:05.040
we do that with our own stuff and so do

00:38:03.359 --> 00:38:11.119
I necessarily think that they approached it with the same level of enthusiasm and

00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:17.680
Engineering um adeptness skill um knowledge that

00:38:14.839 --> 00:38:21.640
someone else might my perception based on that the product was straight up not

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

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

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:34.839
topic wait I aimed let's jump into that Twitter Blitz

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

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:44.040
guys want to see a Good Vibration motor it's such a Good Vibration

00:38:44.040 --> 00:38:49.520
motor um anyway PCI Express I can't say

00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:53.200
I agree with that one what was this question uh what modules do you want to

00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:58.119
see oh that would be I forgot the question but turnup you're

00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:00.200
correct uh maybe an anten upgrade that's

00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:04.520
an interesting thought although I don't think we're antenna limited the same way

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

00:39:06.160 --> 00:39:12.440
more storage I could you know okay like if

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:18.680
you don't want MicroSD storage like if you want SSD storage then I could kind

00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:20.240
of see that 3D scan a giant add-on

00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:23.640
module yeah seems like you wouldn't be but you

00:39:22.240 --> 00:39:28.079
could go okay I want more storage and battery or maybe not micro use full size

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

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

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

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:46.079
that um desktop grade GPU everything you

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:50.280
guys want is terrible I'm sorry better internet audio module an awesome camera

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

00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:01.480
here like when phone block when and if phone blocks becomes a thing

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

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:10.160
physical keyboard Galaxy S7 uses micro USB

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

00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:20.680
happy about it they could release a new um decent front-facing speakers okay

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

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

00:40:26.520 --> 00:40:32.160
shown a better picture of um the thing

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:39.960
that we were doing thank you for

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:42.160
that $1,000 HDMI you should better phone

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.599
all Linus videos all the time stylus module Windows in VM with Bluetooth

00:40:44.319 --> 00:40:49.760
mouse and keyboard

00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:54.800
h okay infrared two micro SD two more

00:40:53.720 --> 00:41:00.400
micro SDs um hanging in there

00:40:57.839 --> 00:41:04.200
Tony read the reviews off Amazon oh people everyone's talking okay so that

00:41:02.640 --> 00:41:08.319
was one of our less successful Twitter Blitz Blitz is usually you guys have a

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:12.200
lot of like really really great suggestions but it probably would have

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

00:41:15.359 --> 00:41:21.319
module uh doesn't the G5 use type- C

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:28.040
already let me check I'm not sure I missed that part

00:41:23.640 --> 00:41:32.079
uh that's a lot of notes not in my notes

00:41:28.040 --> 00:41:33.480
so I if it's already got a USB connector

00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:37.720
and quite frankly if it supports wireless charging it's less the the

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

00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:46.040
cool though if the charger for the phone was

00:41:43.680 --> 00:41:49.079
modular just in case you screw the charger up by like having it in your

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

00:41:51.640 --> 00:41:56.800
like yeah I'm eating you know 60 bucks or whatever overpriced price tag they

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

00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:06.240
into our next topic now's a perfect opportunity to talk about

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

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

00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:19.079
freshbooks is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses

00:42:16.680 --> 00:42:22.640
look professional and get paid faster not only will you look more professional

00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:26.839
you will be more professional because it helps you stay organized about the way

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

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

00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:40.960
cash it doesn't look nearly as professional if you have like a system

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

00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:51.000
take credit card and or you can take check but yeah looking flexible is a

00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:56.359
huge part of looking like a bigger business like looking like you're

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

00:42:58.520 --> 00:43:07.040
to be people on Earth who would go oh that contractor takes credit card

00:43:03.640 --> 00:43:09.359
therefore he or she must overcharge by 2

00:43:07.040 --> 00:43:13.520
and a half% in order to compensate for the credit card fee there's probably

00:43:11.319 --> 00:43:18.000
someone on Earth who literally finds the contractor who only does paper invoices

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

00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:27.400
use the worst materials but to the rest of the world

00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:32.040
looking like you've got your stuff together and like that you can afford to

00:43:30.040 --> 00:43:36.079
have proper systems in place for things like invoicing and payment it really

00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:39.480
helps your professional image and gives people more confidence to book with you

00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:43.960
so whether you're doing smalltime computer repair or whether you are uh

00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:49.200
teaching dance lessons or whether you're a plumber or uh or just a general

00:43:46.319 --> 00:43:53.280
laborer contractor landscaper fresh books lets you keep track of all that

00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:58.400
stuff in one place in the cloud send invoices get R confirmations

00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:03.400
so that you know that they've got your invoices and even allows people to pay

00:44:00.839 --> 00:44:06.520
by credit card through freshbooks so if that sounds great you want to take your

00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:10.400
business to the next level get organized save time spend your time doing the work

00:44:08.720 --> 00:44:15.440
that makes the money instead of calculating the money that you already did work for then head over to

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:19.720
freshbooks.com when to claim your free trial today that's actually the most

00:44:17.359 --> 00:44:22.680
frustrating thing when like especially when you're starting a new business and

00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:26.680
you're just like I need to do as much as I possibly can you don't want to just like sit there and do paperwork nope

00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:30.760
paperwork paperwork is a bummer you know what's

00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:37.720
not a bummer though squarespace.com Squarespace is

00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:42.880
the website builder that you should use if you want to build a beautiful website

00:44:40.359 --> 00:44:46.160
today all you've got to do is pick from their wide variety of different

00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:54.400
templates and whether you want to build a a blog or a store or a personal

00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:55.520
portfolio or any other type of website

00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:00.960
that you could possibly want to build they've even they they've got the uh they've got the store module actually

00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:05.359
built into I believe it's all of the templates at this point then you should

00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:10.160
use one of those Squarespace templates create your website use the online

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:15.240
Builder tool which is so easy that even I can do it and all and then I'm trying

00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:19.559
to set it up and I can't do it my brain's not working fast enough todaying

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:24.880
okay um so you set up your website get it live and the stability of it in our

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:28.920
experience has been absolutely fantastic if you're having trouble with

00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:35.040
it then should contact their tech support which is available 247 via live

00:45:31.319 --> 00:45:37.400
chat and email and you should head over

00:45:35.040 --> 00:45:43.640
to squarespace.com and use offer code Linus today to save 10% and build your

00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:49.000
website for the first two weeks for free to decide if you should go ahead and

00:45:46.160 --> 00:45:54.520
extend it for the full year which by the way will be

00:45:51.200 --> 00:45:56.640
including will include a free domain

00:45:54.520 --> 00:46:00.520
which uh is an offer that you should defitely take advantage of although you

00:45:58.359 --> 00:46:06.760
should.com is probably taken so Squarespace should build it

00:46:03.200 --> 00:46:09.040
beautiful good job that's difficult not

00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:12.880
for me for you that's difficult it's when my brain's working faster I'm not

00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:16.280
having a fast brain day today when my brain's working faster I can handle it a

00:46:14.520 --> 00:46:21.760
lot better hopefully you speed up before the uh on the shoot tonight yeah that's

00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:23.160
going to be rough yeah all right so um

00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:27.400
we've got a video coming on this you filmed this right uh the valve VR

00:46:25.240 --> 00:46:31.800
performance test okay so the O op is not filled out here original article here is

00:46:29.040 --> 00:46:37.720
from kit Guru um but valve released their VR performance test it's there at

00:46:34.680 --> 00:46:40.640
that portal based uh demo that I got an

00:46:37.720 --> 00:46:47.040
opportunity to do at CES um and the point of it is basically to determine if

00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:48.839
you have the horses to run in VR with

00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:54.160
the conclusion being that the odds are excellent that you indeed do not um

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

00:46:56.599 --> 00:47:03.839
I think you're going to encourage people to create a database of yeah so you

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

00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:14.240
have a fantastic cinebench community on the Forum I think it's made by jumper

00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:16.079
118 hopefully I remember that correctly

00:47:14.240 --> 00:47:19.760
um and it's awesome there's over 500 submissions everyone submits their

00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:23.000
cinebench codes I actually look at that every once in a while just to check

00:47:21.160 --> 00:47:26.319
where things are sitting it's pretty cool and I want to create the same kind

00:47:25.240 --> 00:47:32.400
of thing based around uh steam VR performance

00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:34.000
test results to figure out how ready the

00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:38.400
actual Enthusiast Community is because there's problems and I go over it in the

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

00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:47.640
machines personally yeah a big part of the video talks about not gaming

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:52.119
machines yeah junk data that's in the hardware server which isn't necessarily

00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:56.720
junk data for game developers that aren't developing for VR but how many

00:47:54.920 --> 00:48:03.280
machines do you have that you actually intend to play VR games on probably one

00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:06.480
or zero and I have like seven machines

00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:09.119
in the hardware survey at least Y so

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

00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:19.400
I've got to have dozens in there to be perfectly honest yeah all right the

00:48:15.720 --> 00:48:23.880
unthinkable has happened radon and

00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:23.880
GeForce together in direct

00:48:24.319 --> 00:48:31.599
X12 so this is the dx12 explicit

00:48:28.040 --> 00:48:34.839
multi-GPU mode and the way that it

00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:39.119
supposedly works is that it takes any

00:48:34.839 --> 00:48:43.480
direct X12 compliant device and utilizes

00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:47.400
its resources in the best way possible

00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:50.040
um oh wow we need to go pretty soon um

00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:58.079
in the best way possible for performance boost that is not Reliant in any way on

00:48:53.680 --> 00:49:02.240
SLI or Crossfire and can indeed work

00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:05.400
across mixed vendor multi-GPU setups so

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:06.839
PC World tested it out and uh this

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

00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:14.760
ashes of the singularity which is launching next month and so Gordon M PC

00:49:13.359 --> 00:49:22.040
World benchmarked with a resolution of 2560 x600 with the crazy presets uh two

00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:26.079
GTX 980s with SLI a single gtx980 a

00:49:22.040 --> 00:49:28.000
single Fury X and gtx980 plus

00:49:26.079 --> 00:49:33.799
Fury X which will be the really interesting one got the results here so

00:49:30.040 --> 00:49:36.799
the gtx980 plus Fury X actually

00:49:33.799 --> 00:49:40.760
performed the best at 56.3 frames per

00:49:36.799 --> 00:49:45.079
second with the 980 plus 980 SLI off

00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:49.200
multi-GPU on outperforming 980 plus 980

00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:54.040
SLI on now with that said this is just

00:49:49.200 --> 00:49:57.200
like an FPS graph FPS average not like

00:49:54.040 --> 00:49:59.160
yeah we need PC per yeah we need we need

00:49:57.200 --> 00:50:06.160
Captain Shrout to to have a look at the frame times

00:50:03.040 --> 00:50:09.240
tell us if there's stuttering or micro

00:50:06.160 --> 00:50:12.599
stuttering or any kind of other anomaly

00:50:09.240 --> 00:50:15.520
in in this data that is not evident

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

00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:24.200
to see yeah like something like this

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

00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:34.319
dive to figure out what's actually going on and if

00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:36.319
NVIDIA could just go okay balls to the

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

00:50:38.160 --> 00:50:44.319
suspect they would but they've been really focused like all their messaging

00:50:41.680 --> 00:50:51.359
about SLI since the launch of the 980 has been about smoothness butter smooth

00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:54.720
consistency of the frame delivery not necessarily about the frame rate they

00:50:53.319 --> 00:50:57.880
deliver good frame rates there's no doubt of that but that's not what

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

00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:08.319
now so it's possible that that frame rate is not

00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:14.000
meaningful it's also possible that this is like bananas and the coolest thing

00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:16.240
ever sort of because there is one big

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:21.680
caveat and that is that the developer has to specifically implement this

00:51:18.160 --> 00:51:25.040
feature oh and based on how many

00:51:21.680 --> 00:51:27.839
developers even today are still not

00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:33.240
working with NVIDIA and AMD on CrossFire or SLI support never let alone at launch

00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:36.000
like at all um I don't have much hope

00:51:33.240 --> 00:51:40.680
for this being like the way forward for gaming and building your system based

00:51:37.680 --> 00:51:43.359
around the idea that whatever game

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

00:51:46.040 --> 00:51:52.640
that are already out yeah so yeah uh

00:51:50.319 --> 00:51:57.160
this was posted on the Forum by uh cloaked and the original article here is

00:51:54.440 --> 00:52:02.359
from business insight Ider a 19-year-old made a free robot lawyer that has

00:51:59.640 --> 00:52:07.799
appealed $3 million in parking tickets in the UK pretty cool so sure the

00:52:05.799 --> 00:52:13.559
government's super stoked about this kid's robot yeah

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

00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:23.520
headache but can cost more than just paying the ticket which is one of the

00:52:20.240 --> 00:52:25.480
things that they rely on it's it's way

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

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

00:52:35.319 --> 00:52:41.079
to do is give the robot some information

00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:46.240
and it asks you these questions and generates an appeal letter which you

00:52:43.240 --> 00:52:48.480
then mail to the court without ever

00:52:46.240 --> 00:52:55.000
requiring a lawyer to draft the letter that's awesome um it can also help with

00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:57.319
delayed or cancelled flights or or uh on

00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:03.480
P payment protection insurance claims and he's working to program US city laws

00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:05.599
into the bot starting with New York uh

00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:08.920
for everything I know right Browder doesn't think that robots will be

00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:14.359
dealing in the US Supreme Court anytime soon but he says fewer lawyers will do

00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:19.520
mundane tasks and people will save money on stupid little disputes which I

00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:22.280
absolutely love not only that aw but it

00:53:19.520 --> 00:53:25.720
learns oh that's cool yeah so the more people use the robot the more

00:53:24.040 --> 00:53:29.599
intelligent it becomes so I guess anytime it fails at something I might

00:53:27.319 --> 00:53:33.359
analyze why I'm not sure exactly how it learns but entrepreneurs are already

00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:38.280
talking to Browder about implementing the bot into

00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:39.920
cars so I'm not sure exactly why you

00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:45.319
would need to be able to dispute your ticket directly from the uh while you I

00:53:42.720 --> 00:53:50.599
guess people that want to deal with it immediately I guess so or maybe if

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

00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:57.160
they can like give your car the ticket

00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:01.119
and then you can dispute it completely

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

00:54:07.319 --> 00:54:13.319
that stoked on that um uh I don't care

00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:17.440
if imp Park is stoked on anything though yeah me neither I hate those guys

00:54:15.680 --> 00:54:21.640
they're so freaking annoying I've never even gotten a ticket from them and I

00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:26.640
hate them uh this kind of sucked uh you were actually in the middle of working

00:54:23.160 --> 00:54:29.119
on something that used um oh my God

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

00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:43.040
Linux um iso download was compromised so

00:54:38.720 --> 00:54:45.839
if you installed mint off of that ISO it

00:54:43.040 --> 00:54:50.240
actually had a back door in it um can you explain how the crap something like

00:54:47.799 --> 00:54:55.559
that happens uh it wouldn't even actually be that hard if they had access

00:54:53.880 --> 00:55:00.079
to the server where people are downloading the isos from and they just

00:54:57.160 --> 00:55:04.680
replace the iso with one of theirs that has extra stuff on

00:55:01.680 --> 00:55:06.400
it that's kind of all they need and I

00:55:04.680 --> 00:55:11.520
mean even the most conscientious downloader who's checking the md5 check

00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:15.799
sums I mean if they can just replace the md5 check sum on the download server

00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:21.760
then you have no way of no way of checking um that the iso you downloaded

00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:26.160
is actually compromised so I was using mint it doesn't actually matter I could

00:55:24.160 --> 00:55:31.599
use a a huge array of other things but it's

00:55:28.200 --> 00:55:33.480
just frustrating because I had to start

00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:38.559
not quite from scratch but I had to redownload other things and reset up my

00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:42.440
whatever and things sucked that video is not going to be coming for a while doc

00:55:40.799 --> 00:55:47.760
swag posted this one on the Forum the original article here is from wccf Tech

00:55:45.359 --> 00:55:47.760
dang it

00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:57.240
Brandon uh okay hold on I think our stream

00:55:54.200 --> 00:56:01.559
computer is running off of the UPS right

00:55:57.240 --> 00:56:03.319
now uh what just happened no no no we're

00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:09.000
not we do have power why doesn't that have power it's

00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:12.079
pluged okay and that's not working anymore just take a

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

00:56:16.720 --> 00:56:25.839
slightly this looks kind of cool yeah it's like uh when show Noir Halloween

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

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

00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:45.799
your phone is anyway so PlayStation VR effectively

00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:48.280
60% more powerful than an equally speced

00:56:45.799 --> 00:56:55.599
PC apparently very very interesting the way

00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:58.039
that they're achieving this is the usual

00:56:55.599 --> 00:57:03.559
console Advantage so with the lower level access to the hardware um with the

00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:08.839
fact that game developers can program for a specific set of Hardware so so all

00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:16.680
those things that we're used to seeing but there is also some unexpected Secret

00:57:12.799 --> 00:57:19.319
Sauce as well so let's go ahead and uh

00:57:16.680 --> 00:57:24.400
and pull this up so this is so Sony's Richard Marx held a presentation during

00:57:21.160 --> 00:57:25.400
the AR VR Vision Summit February 10th to

00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:32.720
11th and the Pres presentation provided an overview of PlayStation VR and the basic

00:57:29.640 --> 00:57:35.319
development process apparently thanks to

00:57:32.720 --> 00:57:41.359
the fixed Hardware the latency is extremely low we're talking less than 18

00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:46.799
milliseconds which doesn't sound that low to me there's some problems with

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

00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:57.480
notes though that is possible

00:57:53.359 --> 00:57:59.760
um super low latency of less than 18

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

00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:12.200
damn impressive it's probably end to end okay um 100° field of view which

00:58:09.160 --> 00:58:14.960
is yeah okay like that's that's not too

00:58:12.200 --> 00:58:21.559
shabby I haven't tried Project Morpheus so um now the 60% more powerful than

00:58:19.359 --> 00:58:27.319
same speec PC point was apparently reported by middleware providers not son

00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:31.280
and has also been confirmed by a VR developer on Reddit Brandon I really

00:58:28.799 --> 00:58:38.240
don't think that light is on

00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:41.960
okay um who said psvr is extremely close

00:58:38.240 --> 00:58:45.520
to being on par with Vive and the rift

00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:48.599
with a GTX 970 based on the tests that

00:58:45.520 --> 00:58:51.960
I've done wow so if your app runs at 90

00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:53.960
HZ on a PS on a PC with a GTX 970 then

00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:59.760
you should be very close to 60 on the PS4 and with the 120 HZ reproduction

00:58:57.160 --> 00:59:06.160
applied it is glassy smooth so psvr only required about one

00:59:03.720 --> 00:59:11.880
quar of the render Target size that Vive requires the PS4 has hardly any driver

00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:16.359
overhead compared to Windows the draw calls on the PS4 are faster than with

00:59:13.799 --> 00:59:24.799
directx11 on a PC I noticed that direct X12 is being conveniently ignored here

00:59:19.240 --> 00:59:26.240
um there's also a 20% buffer for

00:59:24.799 --> 00:59:30.280
classified techniques that further reduce the

00:59:28.200 --> 00:59:38.480
render Target size so the Vive render Target is 457 million pixels per second

00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:40.680
so that's 1512 X 1680 * 2 * 90 Herz

00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:46.920
whereas the psvr is approximately a million 1920 x 1080 by 60 um minus

00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:53.319
approximately 20% but we don't know what that 20% is yeah

00:59:49.720 --> 00:59:58.920
um if I'mma just wait till they come out

00:59:53.319 --> 01:00:01.400
yeah I mean to say that a 60 to 120 htz

00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:05.240
upsampling or what what what what are they what are they

01:00:02.680 --> 01:00:12.359
callu uh reproduction works

01:00:08.720 --> 01:00:15.880
well we'll see yeah we'll see I mean

01:00:12.359 --> 01:00:18.200
even for video playback I have found

01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:24.920
that those kinds of you know clear motion uh Technologies are are are very

01:00:22.680 --> 01:00:29.280
um they're great as long long as the motion is predictable and the processor

01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:33.319
which by the way doesn't operate at 18 milliseconds as long as you give that

01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:38.079
TV's processor a lot of time and as long as the motion is predictable can

01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:39.280
actually be like wow I didn't know that

01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:43.960
there weren't actually more frames in the original content like very

01:00:41.640 --> 01:00:49.400
believable but something as unpredictable as a game an interactive

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

01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:57.280
little bit weird coming for me but that would be absolutely fantastic because

01:00:55.240 --> 01:01:00.359
right now what VR needs mostly is just wided option so if a huge amount of

01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:05.559
PlayStation players get behind it and then VR becomes a super normal thing

01:01:02.680 --> 01:01:10.720
sick yeah great yeah that's awesome bring on Bring it on to the mainstream

01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:14.119
I'll believe it more when I see it but

01:01:10.720 --> 01:01:17.880
awesome the op here is Mr Troll and the

01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:21.079
Gears of War Ultimate Edition PC gets

01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:24.640
screenshots file sized and requirements

01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:29.480
apparently the ideal specs are 16 gig

01:01:24.640 --> 01:01:32.280
RAM with a 980 TI or an R9

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

01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:41.400
exactly how PC games should be yeah they

01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:45.520
should scale all the way down for people who don't have the horses and they

01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:50.359
should scale all the way up for the people who are investing all this money

01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:55.960
into a gaming experience that they want to have that games refuse to deliver

01:01:53.119 --> 01:02:01.760
because of the console cuz the ideal specs are like a chunk above the

01:01:58.680 --> 01:02:05.039
recommended specs yes which is sick

01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:08.559
super down with that yeah so minimum is

01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:13.599
650 TI with like an AMD fx6 core or a

01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:16.520
core i5 at 2.7 GHz recommended is a

01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:20.960
gtx970 um which is uh actually the highest percentage graphics card on the

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

01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:30.960
cuz I've never played Gears of War I played one of them very possibly

01:02:29.279 --> 01:02:34.720
the first one well I'm stoked I'm I'm going to

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

01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:45.960
um really interesting article this one was posted by Patrick 3027 on the Forum

01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:52.200
original article here is from torrent freak software piracy hurts Linux

01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:55.200
adoption research finds most of the

01:02:52.200 --> 01:02:58.480
research sometimes it's research um into

01:02:55.200 --> 01:03:01.160
piracy is focused on determining how it

01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:09.000
hurts paid software options like Microsoft Office or like uh you know uh

01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:10.960
Adobe um wow I can't remember why can't

01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:14.240
I remember what Premiere I was trying to figure out for so long how this would

01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:20.319
even be possible but now I totally get it yeah so the this this new research

01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:24.880
suggests that software piracy has a detrimental effect on the adoption of

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

01:03:27.799 --> 01:03:33.720
makes total sense oh yeah and B that you

01:03:31.319 --> 01:03:40.119
could say the same thing about any free software and free software is is driven

01:03:37.359 --> 01:03:43.559
by user base they benefit from whether it's ad supported or whether it's

01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:49.559
donation supported the more people who use it the better and if people run out

01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:55.079
and just pirate paid software then what they're effectively doing is they are

01:03:51.520 --> 01:03:58.200
taking the wind out of the sales of

01:03:55.079 --> 01:04:00.920
open-source or uh free- to use software

01:03:58.200 --> 01:04:06.720
developers which is a really interesting new way to think about that so the way

01:04:04.279 --> 01:04:12.000
that they tackled it was they looked at um actually the notes for this one are

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

01:04:15.279 --> 01:04:23.039
this country has an estimated piracy rate of this they accounted for factors

01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:26.720
such as the GDP of the country um and

01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:28.799
local anti-piracy efforts and estimated

01:04:26.720 --> 01:04:35.640
that the number of Linux users would increase by 50% if all piracy

01:04:32.200 --> 01:04:38.599
disappeared I'm surprised it's that

01:04:35.640 --> 01:04:42.960
low I think that a lot of people pirate simply because they can not because they

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

01:04:44.640 --> 01:04:49.720
things like the country's GDP and average income when I did I'll admit to

01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:56.520
that it was completely because I couldn't afford the software right like

01:04:52.520 --> 01:04:59.799
100% I there was was no way um there was

01:04:56.520 --> 01:05:02.760
it was a mix for me when I did um like

01:04:59.799 --> 01:05:06.599
there was there was definitely some I ease of use things I straight up can't

01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:11.319
afford this and then there was other like you know what actually you know

01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:17.039
what I did pay for Vista um I was going to say stuff like Windows

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

01:05:18.720 --> 01:05:24.400
going to go back to XP so um I've pired

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

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

01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:36.799
conversation and that's the other thing too is I think that's where the piracy

01:05:35.160 --> 01:05:40.119
because I can't afford it argument gets really inexcusable is like if you went

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

01:05:44.279 --> 01:05:53.000
