all right let's just do it let's just do it the door is locked blow it hacking
into the system doile nuclear attack oh
my God what is happening oh access graned access graned is probably my
favorite that's the best part of the whole video oh oh oh no so amazing I'm a
Noob no way to go Luke okay everything's fine
okay so welcome to the WAN Show you guys
we have zero viewers it's always like that at the beginning of the show but
every time I discuss it Lally doesn't even show a viewer count at
all oh oh yeah no my live one I yeah
it's not oh weird oh okay anyway uh discussing the live viewers is totally
irrelevant to all the 200,000 or so people who watch The W show in the
archive every isn't tin access Gren kind
of is because we did it in The After Party Fair they have no idea what's
going on but then again I did include as a highlight in our winter announcement
video just that part of that video so
yeah and a couple other like really golden moments as well so I yeah I I
actually normally I don't just watch our videos like for fun because I'm in a lot
of them and I can't don't really have anything to say that would teach myself
anything at that point and then usually my thing is and I'm sure you're probably
the same way to at least some agree if you're not in the video you just go talk to the person yeah I usually have well
I've I've heard enough like complaining about all the negative things and I've
heard enough like oh okay come look at this this is really cool about all the
positive stuff that it's like ah I kind of got the Highlight I kind of got the
Highlight Reel already I don't think I need to watch this um so so yeah but I
actually watched our ultrawide winter announcement just so I could see the
Highlight Reel again cuz we got we got some great entries that were really awesome all right so what do we got for
the show to day ah yes big news
NVIDIA dropping prices for for Black
Friday yeah W yeah yeah okay yeah oh did
you lose your thing that's weird did I lose my what now the thing the thing
you're your doc do you know what you're calling out next yeah I I got it it's right there okay uh no no I just I
realized that the um the announcement is not live said it live because we weren't
live yet no I know I thought I had oh okay okay yeah it didn't work from here
for some reason oh oh I didn't click save that's why all right so also in the
news this week lii internet also known
as lonus Fidelity internet basically you
just you you build up two luses in your house they take a fair amount of
resources but they're pretty solid and then they communicate with each other
very quickly they talk really fast for as long as they don't cheat because it's
lonus Fidelity not not lonus Breaking All the Rules yeah so so you just got to
keep them in line so basically it doesn't work at all what else we got
except this one does yes this the real one does anyways AMD is dropping
prices for Black Friday and a toddler's eyeball was
sliced by a drone propeller okay oh I mean you know it was
a matter of time before like someone got hurt yeah but like has some baby been
hit by a thrown football and knocked out and bad well there was no there was that
baby that got hit by the uh by the beer
can yeah at the basement G like projectiles yeah so now like everyone in
the upper in the upper deck has to have plastic cups or something something
something yeah I mean it was really interesting hearing them talk about this
on the radio because the the only radio I listen to is sports radio so if you
ever hear me talk about what they talk about on the radio it's going to be beer
cans being thrown off the upper deck at a baseball game um it was really
interesting hearing them talk about this because people had such varying opinions
number one is Hooligans should shoot them all people are throwing things off
the upper deck yeah uh opinion number two was what is your toddler doing at a
baseball game cuz the kid was like one year old wow so like why why why are
they at a B I went to leave him at home leave at home I went like giant crazy
Outdoors electronic music thing where the music was like very very very loud
and people had like very young like a
year or below kids there without headphones and I'm like I don't know
much about this field as we noticed last week when I called it a kennel but like
that can't be a good thing there's no way that's a good thing my ears hurt my
head hurts that's a toddler yeah I listen to loud music all the time I
don't know anyways all right so uh wait are we supposed to roll the intro
probably oh shoot did we talk yes we did talk about them all yep go yay nice boat
I know right nice packs nice
I'm never sure how much they can hear us during this me
neither oo Phantom glass has a promo wow
I fix it has a promo Wow Fresh books
doesn't have a promo but it's still cool anyway
fresh all right so uh this is this is
the best uh this is this is the best uh comment in the twitch chat why are the
parents subjecting their child to baseball
oh rip my my brother-in-law is
like man he's hardcore into baseball and
golf and I'm just
like I find those to be two of the most boring Sports ever they're relatively
fun to play I like playing baseball I
hate hate watching baseball I make the argument that baseball is actually super
boring to play because you literally spend one nth of your time actually
doing anything unless you're the pitcher or the catcher it's fun to play if you
have like people to talk to so my favorite thing about baseball stuff
that's all playing games you no no that
that's like saying fishing is fun fishing is fun because you get out on a
boat with a bunch of Bros and you drink beer that's why fish that's why anyone
fishes like I get such a kick out of people who are like yeah like
competitive fishing and blah blah blah and I'm like yeah like competitive fishing is like is like this tiny
minuscule percentage of the people who actually have any idea what the crap
they're doing and are convert and are actually using skill to catch the fish
better most of fishing like oh sorry hun
you know I got to go I got to go really early that's when the the fish are
biting also you know that's I need a couple minutes to like go and dig my
like huge of beer out of where I stashed it and get that in the boat without you
noticing cuz you're not awake yet like come on baseball is pure
socializing my favorite thing about baseball video we're going to lose a
whole whack ton of American fans here know um my one of my favorite things
about American baseball videos are when
it shows like the guy's just screwing
around all the time like there's so many
of them there on on imager a while ago there was a huge list of I think over
like a hundred Gifts of like this
season like Antics just crazy crap people have done they they come up with
these like insanely ludicrous handshakes
they they like throw food to each other like team to team uh there's one where
like two guys opposing team are just like chilling against opposing fences
playing rock paper scissors like across the stadium oh my God what are you doing
with your time like at least with football people are usually like
strategizing or engaged in the game these guys are just like and I hear I
hear a lot of I hear a lot of like yeah like you know it's a mind game it's
strategy and I'm like okay to an extent
but like bowling or like golf there is
there's there's a certain amount of if you have a whole team full of people who
are straight up individually skilled better than the other team there's
actually not a whole lot of strategy that you can do to beat that team and I
know you know operating as a cohesive unit this and that Etc that's all very
important but generally speaking unit a
thing in bowling or are you back to baseball uh I'm back to baseball I'm back to baseball yeah no bowling I was
like what bowling you have to encourage each other I guess yeah keep keep team
spirit you know matters make that statistically matters but but there's
not a whole lot of variability in terms of like should you go for the double
play or should you just get the guy at first like come on so people are people
are giving me people oh people are people are hating on NASCAR in the in
the comments I would argue that NASCAR is actually way more legitimate than
baseball I'm sorry it's like a physics game basically
it looks really repetitive and it it's quite repetitive to watch I don't watch
it I will never watch it super boring Burl posted this thing the other day um
that was like V8 superar racing
somewhere in Europe super interesting
the cars were like super close to each other going around really really tight
Corners it was it was nuts I usually get really bored watching racing but that
was cool all right people are asking for a topic I'm like I guess so all right so
original post here is from wccf Tech
boom NVIDIA's entire 900 series GPU
lineup gets price cuts for the holidays pretty serious ones including the GTX
980ti which I think we had covered when we said 900 series The 980 which I think
that does 900 Ser is 9 is 980 in the 900
series it depends on how you look at it see if you look at the inverse it's in
the zero series shut up okay okay okay so hold on
hold on I'm gonna I'm G to go Tang they should just do that they shouldn't make it the like
1,80 they make it I was just going to I was heading there 80 oh okay guys what
do what do you think the GTX 1080
optimized for 4K right yeah it's kind of weird the 1080
TI optimized for 4K with
v right I am really looking forward to
that my entire portion or no you do GPU
videos in their entirety now whatever so your entire video I I would ask but this
is a mandate will be full of jokes if
it's 1080 it will be full of jokes about that yeah excellent all right so
basically uh the 980 the 970 960 and 50
are all getting cut for the holidays um I mean it's not like in in 5
years we have to do or actually closer
to four something now but um we we have to do we have to do a review of like
glasses just to troll people glasses in 2020 oh
oh or we could do like the entire the
the entire like year could be videos of like old products we could be like this
is the hindsight year
just take an entire year to troll people
yes an entire year I think even we wouldn't get away with that yeah I don't
think so the 980 TI is down from 649 to 589 or as low as 559 after Mir the 980
has dropped about 60 bucks actually even
more after mail and rebate it's 970 is down from 329 to 289 so some pretty
significant price Cuts anywhere from sort of the 10% to 15ish plus perc range
the 950 goes all the way down to 139 or 129 after Mir
unfortunately other regions other than the United States on new egg.com may not
see the same or even similar price discounts NVIDIA is doing that thing
again where they act like a really americ Centric company where kind of
like how the shield was only available in America uh if I recall correctly grid
beta was only available no CU I had it in Canada no okay I'm not going to I'm
not going to nail them on grid beta um but I will definitely nail them on
Shield only being available in America um so they're they're kind of
doing that thing again super lame yeah I
I I I mean okay to be clear I do understand all the logistics involved in
coordinating a price drop with your resellers because the kind of accounting
involved in paying for things after you
receive them but then less some kind of
discount but if you if you sell through the units within that period Then it's
not less the discount it's actually pretty complicated and some some
Distributors are not set up correctly to do it and blah blah blah blah blah like
it actually is complicated but I think America only super sucky like I think
you could have at least done sort of a smattering of territories where they are
somewhat set up for it like I'm sure you know case king. de can handle how to do
a point of sale rebate so yeah yeah
pretty pretty frustrating in other news what's this AMD is cutting prices on
their R9 series which includes the r
seven no wait it doesn't right I get it
so the fury X the fury the Nano the 390x the 390 and the 380 uh interesting fact
I did not realize it was called the R9 Nano I thought it was called the R9 Fury
Nano I don't understand why they didn't call it the fury Nano what it is not
called the R9 Fury Nano I was trying to
buy some and I couldn't find them y
trusted reviews calls it the fury Nano anante calls it the R9 Nano anante got
it right wccf Tech got it wrong but that shouldn't surprise us
um yeah go figure right what yeah so I
have always called it the R9 Nano but
out of laziness Yes
Yes actually wow okay um so so yeah
actually this is this is interesting I I need uh seven of and AMD was going to
send them to us but after confirming they were going to send them to us they
were like hey we can't um so I was like hey okay I guess
I'll buy them then because I super need them for this project why is this a
twitch stream and uh oh I don't know and uh Intel Kingston ASUS and I I I'm sure
there are other there are other people have already sent me the hardware to do
this project so I pretty much have to do it now case Labs is like doing a custom
painted case for me for this project the
project must go forward so um so so
hopefully they'll they'll reimburse us going to be expensive something like
that no no I think the plan is for them to reimburse us or something but it was
just it was like a complicated hey we thought we had them turns out we didn't
you know that might be better cuz this time they can't ship it to us and then
actually have not shipped it to us and then ship it to us later yeah we had a
lot of people asking why our 380x uh review video was late
and the answer is that we straight up got briefed on it like we got our
reviewer briefing and we got our press deck and our reviewer guide and all that
stuff and we were like we were like ready and then the card just didn't show
up yep so yep it's up now on vessel so
that's cool yay all right anyway so the R9 Fury X is down from oops I just
changed the thing is down to 569 after Mir the Nano is down to 5.49 making it
much more reasonably priced the fur
the99 ex and the 390x and 390 are down
to 429 and 329 respectively 390 is a
good deal with that price too actually I mean these are all kind of good deals on both sides all of these pricings are in
USD and they're off of newegg.com other regions may not the same or similar
discounts 279 uh 390 is 279 oh sorry sorry sorry they're down
from 429 and 329 to 379 and 279 so a 390
for 279 yeah that's almost almost as good as we get all the time on scrapyard
Wars except not even close buying used 290s it's so solid it's like the way to
go were they mined on yes probably probably they always say
no but like come on I always get such a kick out of that because okay guys Pro
tip for buying used Hardware if the posting says wasn't mined on wasn't
mined on it was definitely mined on or never overclocked it was definitely over
it was definitely mined on and overclocked it's like it's like lady
driven you know yeah yeah it's like if you have you know what that term means
yes it probably wasn't done that way if
you know what overclocking is come on there's no way you never tinkered
with the dial a little bit yeah or maybe you didn't maybe you didn't maybe you're
the one honest person on the internet good for you good job man yeah
all right so we've got our next topic Here original article here is from the
IB times T Blitz um about I don't know oh which which
price drop do you think is more impactful who had the best I want to
hear from you guys if you're shopping for a video card everyone else butt out
if you're shopping for a video card who has enticed you more yeah with their
holiday specials yeah Green Team or red
team tweet at Linus Tech go go go and in
the meantime we're going to do this topic before we uh before we revisit
that so it's interesting how the R9 Fury X and the GTX 980ti both managed to
still be the exact same dollar yeah it's
it's it's almost before and after aeleen rebate it's almost like NVIDIA and AMD
have huge spy networks at each other's
companies it's almost like the tech industry is a completely
inbred sort of there like there like there's like only a few thousand people
and they just kind of move from company to company it's almost like that
happened um so lii internet the first
real world usage boast speeds a 100 times faster than
Wi-Fi so to explain how it works you should click on the third Source fourth
the explanation graph and then we can show how it's in the dock sure yeah I'll
get that up for you guys so it's it's like get exponential graph instead of
explanation graph oh damn what
jokes someone will get that in the twitch chat someone will get that all
right anyways um there it is so it's it's light it's visible light yeah so
like you can straight up use LEDs it's white light yep uh so the visible light
spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio waves we use for Wi-Fi today which
is very good point um because people got it oh good because the the reason that
the reason that the rate at which we can send data over over Wi-Fi is limited is
because there's only so much Spectrum available and a lot of it is already
allocated for other stuff that isn't your phone yes or but that is your phone
but is like your phone cellular signal air traffic stuff or your phone cellular
signals military stuff government stuff the radio you know we call them radio
waves cuz the radios it's kind of there um so with light you could actually what
okay what everyone's talking about the mic fix the mic fix the darn mic I don't
know a bunch of other people said it just crooked who cares whatever no no
don't no we're going I'm going to make it worse do it yeah yeah yeah now we're
living on the edge yeah bring it on Twitch
chat that's probably a bad idea so
infrared kind of sucks infrared is not super fast we've known this for a long
time I mean remember when remember when computers had like infrared data ports
on the side of them and then we all completely gave up on that because it
was trash remember game boys that never worked yeah never worked awesome but
infrared is fine for things like hey I need to change the channel where you're
sending extremely small amounts of data so that's where it really still Finds
Its use modern LEDs however could transmit enough data for a stable
broadband connection but still look like normal white light so look at that up to
1 billion bits per second now this does come with some
caveats however so it's literally white light you're not going to go through
walls yeah so you better be maintaining
like a line of sight to your uh to your Wi-Fi hot spot probably run a cable yeah
and oh but it could be kind of cool if you need to go like across the ceiling
to another AP yep yep or it could be
well y assuming that there's no I like I
don't know how they're handling light pollution yes that's going to be really
weird one thing that I brought up before we went on the show was I would be interested in trying it in like a studio
setup and turning off and turning on very white lights and seeing if it
polluted it or whatever and something that's really unclear to me at this point too is if we're going to transmit
data via light trolling just um if we're going to transmit data by light then are
the are the receivers and transmitters for this really going to be less
expensive than a typical you know multi
mode fiber in which case if we're going to send data by light and it has to be
line of sight should we just run a piece of fiber it's not that hard and even my
ceiling example like just run it along the ceiling um who cares and like it it
doesn't really address I mean okay so picture this you're like you're playing
a game right play a
game and someone's like oh hey how you
doing and you're like hey not bad oh crap oh no my hot spot's right there now
to be cleared now I don't think anyone I lost my MLG match we should do more
skits that was great ACC pretty much great a um now to be clear I don't think
anyone expects this to replace Wi-Fi but as a supplementary connectivity option
to Wi-Fi so when it be cool as like a crazy speed boost yeah like when you're
close to the access point having it be
you know what like what what's the fastest speed they've managed to achieve right now like 224 gigabytes per second
in lab conditions like that's pretty cool like if you could have a a lii
receiver gigabit gigabit gigabit not you have a Wi-Fi receiver on like the base of
your monitor or something and just like prop your phone up and transfer things
through it wirelessly yep that'd be pretty cool y so there's there's a lot of there's a lot of cool stuff but um so
just to put that in perspective 224 gigabit speed would technically allow
for 18 movies of 1.5 gigabytes each to be downloaded in a single second someone
just called out the dash cam skit oh the dash cam skit was gold I loved the dash
cam skit that legitimately was very good
um remember remember remember uh what
was it we were running around the forest doing stupid crap the Patriot the manly manly way
whatever uh back when everyone and their dog was like we should have a hard drive
with Wi-Fi literally everyone in their dog
like we made videos for the Voyager air the Seagate free agent glex free agent
glex I think that was the one Wi-Fi anyway and the Patriot um Gauntlet or no
Gauntlet I don't know I remember one of them being called something that sounded medieval whatever whatever it was Arrow
Arrow it's called The Arrow I think anyway within like six months or
something like that it's like this is ridiculous and now everyone has
completely forgotten about the product category as far as I can tell well no I
have used them on trips yes they're great for going on trips if you're on a
plane and you ignore the request to turn
off wireless transmitting devices which anyone probably fine which is probably
fine then you can definitely bring a wireless drive with you and you can
definitely watch movies um it's always
funny to me when when uh when sites use
examples that are just straight up like
they must be piracy like why would a movie be 1.5
gigs it's like is 1.5 gigs the average
size of like a compressed Blu-ray rip or something because it sure sure as hell
isn't a DVD it sure as hell isn't a video CD as if any like real releases
were ever done on those and it's sure not a Blu-Ray so what is
this what's a one what's a one and a half Gigabyte video it's a home movie
it's a home movie right yeah um so
before Mass adoption current devices need to be retrofitted to support Wi-Fi
every LED in the future could be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi I mean as long
as it was like not connected at all like it is now yeah I like take a I don't
know I get copper is going to be a thing for a long time I I'll be interested to
see where this goes cuz I'm sure we're thinking like we're we both have our
minds like stuck in the now a little bit right now I think where we're thinking
no like I said it would be super cool oh I see where you're going we're thinking
home networking but maybe there's applications for this that just go way
beyond that you know and and I don't know what they are exactly or or or
maybe maybe this technology could be used for for cheaper cheaper fiber
optics or something along those being white light uh makes me wonder a little
bit cuz like if you think about school like Grand Halls essentially a lot of
times in schools the ceilings are really high I don't really know why they just
are so if you could have these things all along the ceiling and your phones
and laptops or whatever able to communicate with them that would be sick
super fast networking within your school all the time but how does that work when
it's really bright I don't know I don't know I like I I would imagine the sun
would just wreak havoc on this yeah I
don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know man but one other Advantage
is that it doesn't interfere with other radio signals which it's light if you
know anything about light you should probably have already known
that I don't know this was kind of brutal original article here is on
Technica sorry tetz Twitter oh right the Twitter Blitz okay and then we'll we'll
get back to that man that that that was a who thought that was a good idea all
right everyone's talking about it we haven't done that in a moment though
okay get getting a used maybe overclocked r9290 from work for 40 PB so
team red is my best bet yeah okay that up that doesn't count but yes do that
that's awesome uh AMD because their new driver doesn't take 10 seconds to launch
and configure anything you know I got to give you that why does GeForce
experience take so long to lach computer if I click on the because taran's like I
want you to use Shadow play to rep record your gameplay footage for the steam controller review and he wants me
to use it for everything which is great I get it it compresses audio horribly
terrible in that way but the video is good so okay cool if I even click the
shadow play button my computer will lock up for like a couple minutes and then
eventually let go doesn't matter I can't even get close to touching Shadow play
if I try to open GeForce experience at all the whole thing will like lag out
and crash Explorer will die Explorer will come back and then GeForce
experience will load up it's pretty brutal I don't have that problem on any
other computer but you know what the funny thing is about NVIDIA is they've
got all these amazing cool like really complicated features that work within
the driver and work within your games and actually work really well and then
they try and build a control panel to let you turn the switches on and off and
it's like no
derp with that said I've got my I've got my complaints about amds drivers as well
uh you tried the new one sorry have you tried the new one I have not tried
neither I've heard good things I've heard good things I've also heard terrible things the Linux Community is
up in arms right now I'm sure they are because basically they just skinned the
old one as far as anyone can tell and all the promised performance
improvements are most of L Community use that thing anyways yeah but I'm sure
that they'd love to have an official driver that doesn't suck probably just
saying yep um all right AMD because oh yeah no we just said that here's your
answer look at that order to 390 bam 300
bucks yeah oh right they were too whatever yep great so y very nice teams
very low red team look at how many okay Zach Rose the first one first one for
the Green Team here project documenting
my Subs okay that's not really on topic also not on topic also not on topic no
well that's on topic but you're done fix the mic no not going to happen NVIDIA
AMD because I need Cuda for development this
is AMD's doing that thing yeah AMD is
doing that whole Cuda thing so uh Nick you might want to stay tuned because I'm
not sure I'm actually not sure what the exact status of it is like I don't know
if the latest driver boom turned on Cuda or if support is going to be as good or
if it's going to be as fast for a while but uh the the word on the street I I
read this article a week or two ago uh but the word on the street is that AMD
is has got some kind of Licensing deal for Cuda now yeah um so yeah stay stay
tuned for that uh Red Team Green Team
but something why not both why why don't we have both something some okay cool
team red gtx960 well based on based on our Audi
that's like a lot of AMD it's looking like AMD one Black Friday there so
that's you know what's kind of crazy is when I was shopping for when I got the
scrapyard Wars 9 uh 290 y um I looked
online that was $420 new now you can get 39s which are
the same card yeah but for under $400
new that guy got it for 300 bucks mhm 305 us us us us okay so like sold 400
yeah just say yeah yay Canadian dollar it's so bad
right now oh my God all right what else we got for topics today terrible thing
that we almost yeah this this is like I
don't know what they were thinking just wow Amazon backtracks after covering New
York City subway car and Nazi symbols um so here's a tweet from
Katherine lamb 42nd Street shuttle to Time Square covered in Nazi Germany and
Imperial Japan symbols for an Amazon ad
is this okay um I'm thinking a lot of
people kind of went with no now to
explain Amazon and and this this is interesting because you can see it's
actually like an American flag but with
a German eagle and German cross in it and then it's like the the Japanese war
flag leg with stars and stripes like it
it's like it's kind of it's a super weird thing and it's for you can see
this right here High Castle yeah this is not because Amazon's like you know
Hitler was right that's not what happened here it's
promoting sound bited on that real bad
yeah probably uh oh
oh there's nothing I can do that's unfortunate it's on it's on the internet
now all right rip okay it's on the now so Amazon was they're trying to promote
a show yeah Amazon was a really interesting sounding show yeah so it's a
new TV series it's called The Man in the High Castle and it's a story of a world
where the axis Nations won World War II so decisively that they took over the US
didn't attack Russia yeah yeah yeah where where just like everyone before
them who ever thought attacking Russia was a good
idea they also decided attacking Russia
was not a good wait no hold on just like whatever the point is attacking Russia
has never worked yeah not once yeah ever
yeah I'm not convinced the Russians could take over Russia I don't think
they have
oh so uh rough so so so so yeah so I
mean it definitely got so so let's talk
was it inappropriate I personally fall into the yes that was totally
inappropriate Camp um
what do you think uh yeah I think it's totally
inappropriate I can't I'm amazed at the amount of things that that must have
gone through and was approved the whole time because there's no way you can get
an ad on the subway without someone checking it out first yep someone from
New York City definitely was aware of this yeah someone from something some
form of management of New York City was like yeah cool all right yep so that got
approved not only through Amazon but partially through the government or like
what well maybe not government I don't know it might might send me private there like whatever their transport
Authority would be someone someone signed off on this um multiple times
like multiple people signed off of it on multiple stages I mean maybe they just
kind of thought well you know hey we're not saying it would have been a good
thing if the axis forces won World War
II that's not what happened the point of the movie is like how bad it would have
been I haven't well obviously I haven't watched idea I haven't watched it I
intend to watch the show now so that leads to our next question effective
marketing I think it totally worked we are talking about a show on Amazon's
thing right now there's no way we would have done that yep I I would not have
cared well not that I wouldn't have cared someone could have told me about that premise for a show and I would have
gone yeah Al alter alternative history I'm kind of into that um but I I Pro I
wouldn't have heard about it because I wouldn't have been browsing you know
Amazon for TV shows that are coming that that wouldn't have happened and this
blew up so now everyone knows knows about it and with with uh the Top Gear
guys going there and now this massive Thing amon's video streaming service is
getting more news right now I think a lot of press you know what I've got the
really good comment in twitch chat really good comment in twitch chat and we should probably do a Twitter Blitz on
this as well guys tweet at Linus and let us know let us know your thoughts on
this but this person went well hold on a second they didn't put swastikas up
so that they they're saying that's the line the line is swas cuz the the the
German eagle and the German Cross are
definitely German symbols of that time
in history but they aren't the symbol of
the Nazi party and to be fair not all
German people were bad to be very very
clear um
so yeah I don't know I I I still think I
personally think it was over my line it was over my line I think we can all
agree it was over everyone line if they had the swastika on it but yeah even
even even the eagle the war flag and the cross were were were were over my line
it was a little bit probably too aggressive what they could they could
have done a very similar but probably okay angle where they just ask the
question all over the place yeah what
like what if this bench had a Nazi flag on it like have that in text and high
point or whatever high high seed or whatever it's called yeah and high
castle castle um so here let me let me see let me have actually have a have a
look at um like you know maybe May yeah
maybe they could have maybe they could have even had one one picture of not
covering it yeah like if it here so so back to back to the picture for a second
yeah so if they'd had the seat have like
a little flag what if Hitler had one
high castle Amazon November 20th like kind of like this messaging that they
have up here I think people people would
have asked the question as opposed to gone what is this ad for yeah what is
wrong with them yeah I still don't know if that's necessarily even okay but I
think it's more okay than what was done yeah all right so let's let's go ahead
let's go straight to Twitter let's get the people who uh got it really quick uh
someone says I think even without swastikas it was slightly over the line
uh it's just a way to get people talking about the show easy marketing uh due to
Amazon's unfairly treated employees this happened
what uh the eagle was not a symbol of
the nsdap otherwise it would have been banned in Germany which is not and the
Iron Cross is still used oh wow so there you go interesting uh the swastika was a
religious symbol yeah we all know the swastika was not a Nazi symbol before
that doesn't change what it means now it's kind of like wasn't it slightly different anyways for the religious
symbol wasn't it like going the other way or something yeah it might have been the other way or whatever not going to
draw one because I'm sure that would get giffed to hell um
can you even imagine oh God anyway the
point H but the point is is that the meaning of things does change over time
um this is something that's been discussed a lot you know whether it's
whether it's a a word that's a slur and then turns into not one or a word that's
not a slur and turns into a slur or symbols that mean one thing and then
another thing or hand gestures that become obscene over time it's all it's
all part of the fluidity that is the way that we communicate with each other so
you can kind of run around and say you know
the f word is a bundle of sticks and twigs all day that's not going to change
what it meant and then you could also make the argument South Park did an
excellent episode on this that it also doesn't mean what it meant 30 years ago
anymore today but that's a debate that I'm not getting into point is like the
greatest thing ever what did I do you said GIF instead of GIF yeah so now
instead of like me going through Banning hordes of people for saying horrible
horrible things in chat they're all talking about you saying GIF instead of
GIF oh I use them interchange they're both technically correct all right a
four as a four-year Prime member I've never used Amazon Prime video okay
slightly on topic uh fell in love with the show last year uh it's entertaining
but not great and boring in some parts yeah that's probably how I would
write a love letter to my wife I fell in love with you last year you're
entertaining but not great and boring in some parts wow well I'm just saying
that's not a great that's not a great uh like sales pitch Oh I thought you said
you're going to write it to your wife no no I'm I'm saying that
I'm saying that's so rude she's a very nice person I know okay I personally
feel the world needs to lighten up this happened all we just moved past it I
think you know I would I would suggest
that anyone who thinks we should lighten up about anything that happened during
World War II should probably go hang
around at one of the museums in aitz or
uh strawberg or wherever else and like for me one of the most one of
the most revelatory experiences that I have ever had was standing next to the
oven and seeing like the burned shoes
that they had on display there like and
I was like holy crap this actually
happened it actually happened I'm standing right where it happened and
there's people still alive that were around doing that
yep um all right I don't know Pro it's
still a novel line is band tips people are getting wrecked left and right
whether it's from me ghost or the bot there's like there's like one person
getting banned in chat this whole time excellent step up boys I'll take you out
all right so uh this is kind of a a
rapid fire topic here I guess but uh
Samsung has done the unthinkable they are putting TLC nand so
that is three bit per cell n
in an Enterprise SSD so I will explain for a very brief
moment what a big deal is this is in the beginning Enthusiast and
Enterprise grade ssds were SLC so they
stored one bit per cell and the reason
that it was done that way is that was the only way to achieve reasonable
enough right endurance so that is how many times the SSD The Flash can be
written to before it fails over time as
it is apt to do way to go Luke my bad overtime mlc
which is what we call colloquially TW bit per cell flash although mlc is
technically anything that stores more than one bit per cell so TLC 3 bit
Perell flash is technically 3 bit per cell mlc but colloquially we call two
bit Perell mlc mlc so mlc flash showed
up on the scene and all of a sudden ssds got way more affordable for the consumer
those of you who were kind of paying attention in the early Enthusiast grade
SSD days will probably remember the x25 E and the x25 M Intel's gamechanging
ssds but before which everything was
kind of trash like had serious problems that would cause them to go from being
faster than a hard drive to actually slower than a hard drive if they got
like if they like hitched up on something
so the x2e was only available in 32 and
64 gig configurations and if I recall
correctly the 64 gig was like monstrously horrendously priced um
whereas the x25 M featuring mlc flash so
the e was SLC and the M featuring mlc flash was available in 80 and I want to
say maybe the 160 came later but it was 80 and 160 gig
configurations so mlc got good enough
but it wasn't good enough for the Enterprise for a long time that's where
Enterprise mlc came in so Enterprise mlc can do something to the tune of I think
it's 10 times the right cycles of SLC or
excuse me of mlc which still isn't as much as SLC but SLC is just so cost
prohibitive and the capacities are limited because you can store so much
more data per flash chip using mlc
technology so emlc happened now Samsung
was the first to do TLC Flash in a consumer drive with the
840 I want to say Evo oh crap I hope it was the 840 Evo um
I'm sure someone's going to correct me it was either the 840 or the 840 Evo can't remember exactly someone's GNA
someone's going to correct me whatever so they were the first to do a consumer
TLC SSD since then everyone else has
been trying to do TLC some have released drives but I don't know if you guys saw
that latest one from uh micron
it's abominable like Samsung has figured
out people are saying it's the Evo thank you no it wasn't the pro the pro was uh
was mlc okay so the non-pro was the TLC one so other guys have been trying to
figure out TLC for quite some time now
uh because it gives you less right performance and less endurance but way
more capacity and it's cheaper so Samsung figured out with fine-tuning
their controller and the Flash uh because they're one of the one of the
only I think are they the only one they
might be the okay don't quote me on this but Samsung may be the only completely
vertically integrated SSD maker where they make the dram cache they make the
controller they make the flash they make the freaking they assemble the freaking
pcbs they make they do the firmware they do the whole thing so they made it all
work together so cohesively that they were able to get acceptable performance
in spite of the fact that they were using this essentially like USB thumb
drive grade flash not quite it's bined as well
so it's like the best of the TLC flash so anyway now while everyone else
is still using emmc or or emlc or worst
case scenario mlc for for an Enterprise grade Drive Samsung is releasing a TLC
Drive what this allows them to do and I I'm finally getting to this what them
allows this to do is deliver an Enterprise SSD
with a price of less than 60 cents a gig
and a capacity up to 3.84 Tab in a 2 and
half inch form factor that my friends is
bananas yes yes it's
bananas b so they're they're using their
3D nand and they're using TLC in order to get unheard of densities we actually
have a unit on routee uh I haven't actually talked to Samsung in over a
year um so and it wasn't even me I was
just like Nick do we still have a contact at Samsung SSD I don't think
that's true yeah because we haven't talked to them at all since they provided those drives for the Forum that
was over a year ago yeah I just blew your mind didn't I
yes you did um so I was like do we even still have a contact there cuz I want to
check this thing out so that is coming and I'm super stoked because higher
capacity ssds cannot be a bad thing
um so looking at competitors Intel's DC s3510 has a maximum capacity of 1.6
terabytes and micron's m510 DC tops out
at just under a terabyte pretty cool stuff and something
to realize is when you choose a storage solution it's never really as simple as
this drive is the best it's always trade-offs whether the trade-off is cost
capacity read speed right speed endurance uh vibration resistance um uh
a a a form factor like density how much of it you can cram in there there's
there's all these different trade-offs so this Enterprise Drive even though
it's not going to be as heavy duty for rights as another Enterprise Drive based
on emlc or if you can find some rare SLC
drives out there SLC but what it will be
great for is really fast random reads if you need a lot of storage so I could see
I could see someone like Facebook eating these up actually I believe the front
page is all in RAM right now don't quote me on that I think they moved it yeah I
think they moved thing talking about like oh wow it's all in SSD and then I
think yeah I think they've moved all to RAM however that doesn't mean that
having another way faster than mechanical tier that's way higher
capacity isn't going to help them out big time like big time so so there you
go that happened this week I'm like super stoked on playing with that you
know what else happened this week is Seagate shipped US 35
of their 8 terab Enterprise capacity drives got a lot of people saying yeah
but the right speed sucks no no these are not the archival 8 terabyte drives
I'm aware of those that is not what we have we have the SATA 3 6 gbit per
second SATA Enterprise capacity drives so these
are full read full right they are not
quite as optimized for random as something like the SAS version um and
they're just the basic one they don't have self- encrypting Drive functionality unfortunately but they are
balling they are awesome and I'm actually I've been waiting for these for
a lot of projects I've got a lot of stuff planned for these drives we're
going to do an on-site backup server we're going to do an off-site backup server we are going to investigate
unraid versus freeass over the next little bit um what else do I have
planned right and a video that I promised months ago
when I originally did my freas build and
I was like here's the storinator it's running fre Ness I promised to do a
performance followup well the performance on it has been
trash like too trash like I did
something wrong there's something wrong with it the problem is that it had all
of our data on it and I couldn't I
couldn't reformat it I couldn't I because I think I think it's a
combination of things it's using native 4K sector drives it's using the
nonoptimal uh it's using non optimal numbers of drives per vdev and uh let's
see what was the what was the other suspected issue anyway there's a number of things that I that I might have
gotten wrong during the configuration setup um so I wanted to take another
crack at it but I've had nowhere to put that
data so I'm currently transferring at about 500 megabytes per second off of
the Fraz and onto another machine and then I'm going to copy it somewhere else
so I'm going to have it on a hardware raid and I'm going to have it on an
unraid while I retool the freeas box and
then copy everything back over there so I'm pretty excited about
that all right so this is this is uh this is very unfortunate uh over on the
BBC toddler's eyeball sliced by drone
propeller so brutal yeah so the the
Drone was flown by a family friend and
uh yeah the operator lost control of the
Drone and he'll need several operations
before he can have a prosthetic eye f
which is uh which is really unfortunate I mean it's one of those things where I
don't think we are going to uh like I
don't think we're going to start seeing regulations in terms of whether you can
fly drones inside your house or whatever else but it is it has it has certainly
it has certainly made me consider whether I would fly a drone even
anywhere near my kids even Outdoors um
yeah I don't know cuz when they when they go full runaway mode they can move
pretty pretty darn fast it can actually get a little a little aggressive yeah
there's a fair amount of videos based on that so uh the Drone pilot said it was
up for about 60 seconds as I brought it back down to land it just clipped the
tree and spun around so super super
unfortunate someone said that that's why the Drone should have foam bumpers
doesn't always stop something like this but probably would have helped and and
could have helped could have helped but hindsight is always 2020 and you always
I mean for the thousands and tens of thousands and probably hundreds of
thousands of drone flights most of the time no one got
their eyeball sliced open yes yeah um yeah H there's a new Raspberry Pi on the
scene this is actually insane yeah the Raspberry Pi zero which is look how
small it is it's tiny it's fantastic look how much it
costs it's it's in the picture it's yeah five bucks yeah yeah really cheap there
you go one g processor I believe yep um
HDMI out I think it has USB in oh you've
got all the stats there my head yeah was 512 Megs of uh
ddr2 yeah like it's five bucks for like it honestly relatively capable computer
yep very cool stuff kind of cool smallest form factor ever 65 millimet
someone saying it's sold out already 6 and half CM by 30 mm so that's 3 cm by 5
mm which is half cimer sold out within
24 hours yes friends people were
snapping these puppies up real real quick fast that's really cool the amount
of like embedded projects you can do with that would be sick Yeah we actually
would like to do more stuff like that in the future uh we've got some plans for
some stuff I don't know if we've got it in time for this year I think we might run out of time to do that one thing we
discussed but maybe you've got the you've got all the parts you need for
that other project that we ordered stuff for like ages ago I'm hoping
didn't get lost in the but at the very least we do have the majority of them I
looked through the box at least most of it is there I'm missing a lot of the
boxes but I think those boxes were thrown out and I think the things were
put in the one box so I'm just hoping I've got all of them I don't know so how
do you feel about this Yahoo mail begins blocking users with ad block uhoh we
were unable to dis display Yahoo mail please disable ad blocker to continue
using Yahoo mail d
d I think there's a lot of angles you can take on this uh I think it can be
unintelligent for a website or a service to aggressively go after people that use
ad block but I think it is entirely up to
them um I think this is YouTube was tinkering with it for a bit Yeah I think
this is a very unclassy way to do it because people's emails are extremely
important and to just not allow them to access them until they do a thing that
they might not know how to do if their kid installed ad block for them or
something is very aggressive and not really okay but if you gave them like a
warning that you're going to do it in the future or something that would at
least be nicer and they didn't do that and
that's I do not like how they did it I
think I think Yahoo's biggest mistake is uh thinking that anyone cares about Emil
oh my goodness it's so ridiculous if I if I got that message if I used an ad
blocker and I was like so I can't access
my Yahoo mail I just be like okay I
guess I'll use another email service I have to confess something you still have
Yahoo mail not me my girlfriend really
yeah you know that's only one step better than AOL I know which is only one
step better than using your ISP y okay
it's like it's bad so you don't you don't have to go to like uses Apple Maps
you don't have to go to tech hell but you do have to go to like Tech Purgatory
for a bit okay okay I mean you have to accept that sentence that was a light
sentence but like I'm I'm I'm pushing to fix things I actually don't mind Apple
Maps Google Maps has I haven't used it in a long time when I did use it it was
super terrible it's way better okay uh Google Maps has has actually misled me
more drastically than Apple Maps ever has so even though Apple Maps isn't
always perfect Google Maps has gotten to the point
where uh do you remember when I was supposed to come back here for that hot
dog challenge super fun yes so I was
sitting I like I was I was I was sitting watching my Google Maps on my phone and
it was like traffic yellow ahead okay
I'm sitting there I know for a fact no one has moved on this road in 15 minutes
so the traffic is yellow okay and which
is usually not bad the ETA to the office office just went up one minute for every
minute that I sat there so it was straight up not counting for the fact
that nobody was moving which I thought was the entire point so that it could
map you around things why they bought ways wasn't it like I think that was
literally the whole point I don't know that's pretty rough all right Nick Nick
claims that Apple Maps tried to send him 40 minutes away for Tim Hortons when he
was literally 500 met away from one you know what Google Maps has gotten a lot
worse about that too like you can't just be like Home Depot and it'll be it'll be
one in like coitum like I they they it's okay
there's it's pretty bad they're both pretty bad maps for some reason and I
find browsers in general seem to be getting
worse yeah what's that like in the last like two months I swear my browser's
gotten worse what's that browser that just went into beta that everyone has high yeah Vivaldi maybe it's maybe
Vivaldi is our last hope but like did you like Opera much no it's from same I
know so I know I don't know why everyone thinks it's going to be the Savior it'll
be cool if it is but like I
know I'm not expecting much but then if it's awesome then I'll be even happier
so that's good this is interesting virtual reality needs tweaks more women
than men get motion sickness with oculus rift a virtual reality headset very very
interesting so this is a University of Minnesota study isn't this isn't part of
the study that more women than men get motion sickness yes so um yeah so blah
blah how to affects users has found that for every three men that get seasick
five women will so they tested having participants play a VR and that's
seasick so they tested having participants play a VR game for 15
minutes 35% of subjects got sick within 10 minutes of those 70% were women so
this can mean a number of things number
one is it backs up what I said last week men and women are not the same so to be
clear I'm not saying they're not equal I'm just saying that you know a pile of
hammers is not necessarily better than
six screwdrivers depending on what you need so does that mean they can be equal
and just thought the same or let's say a pile of screwdrivers there pile of
hammers and piles of screwdrivers so like to equal natural effect they would
need to be at 75% hm wait aren't they doing better
then no 35% of the subjects got sick
overall so 65% were fine of those 35 70%
of them were women yeah so but women got
more sick but women already get more motion
sick yes so is it any worse than it actually currently is no I don't believe
so so what do they have to work on well
what they have to work on is the overall percentage Yeah Yeah Yeah they just have
to make it better but that's exactly yeah that's what they're doing yeah I
know I know I know I know I know it's really funny because it it really didn't
take very long for um for someone someone someone we need
viral reality needs tweaks also by the way it's not out yet they're working on
it and when it comes out that'll be version one which everyone knows is like
not really the one you're really that excited for yeah and they're going tweak
down the road even V2 is not going to be like the greatest thing ever like I'm
probably I'm probably just going to kind
of live with feeling sick because I suspect I'm going to feel sick I I yeah
I've been really good in that department I don't do amazing on boats okay like
actually I'm okay on boats maybe I'll be fine I'm pretty solid on boats but I'm
not like there are people that are better than me I have felt bad on a boat
once but I've been on boats many times so I don't know um but like I can do
roller coaster standing up and like I
yeah I have no problem with VR at all I think part of it is I'm when did you
ever stand on a roller coaster no like VR roller coaster
ah I didn't mean a real life one
horrible idea um yeah I can do VR roller
coaster standing up and stuff no problem I think part of that is I never have
actually felt a huge amount of immersion in VR really like there's some people
that are like oh like I'm totally in the game and I'm like nope
I'm not feels like a monitor that's strapped to my face it's a very cool
effect but I think for me to get really immersed there's going to have to be a lot more other things so like even when
you're upside down on a roller coaster there's people that have like I've seen
videos of people that'll like throw up the second they go upside down because they're interal balance goes off and
stuff my mind is like nope we're
standing I think part of it is just the sheer amount of video games that I've
played right honestly I think that's a huge part of it yeah I I would be really
interested to know how the women break
down of the 70% that got sick verus
Gamers versus nonamers that would be really interesting cuz my wife can play
TF2 uh Left 4 Dead uh top down games no
problem I I put her in
Portal and she was done within like a
minute interesting yeah as soon as she goes through a portal she's like oh I'm
sick nope done done can't do it so this is even somewhat but but while while she
can handle normal games where you don't change where gravity
doesn't move around on you all the time um she's she's not like a hardcore gamer
by any means like she hasn't been gaming since she was a little kid I would be
really interested to know how much your
your childhood affects something like this and oh and yeah boats a lot tons of
sports lots of video games that was my childhood not boats a lot but boats at
least every summer for like two weeks straight and like it's it's it's
obviously like it's obvious that there's going to be some there's going to be
some uh nature versus nurture here but here's here's an interesting fact um I
used to get sick in the I used to get car sick uh pretty quickly like within
about five minutes of reading in the car I would get sick I do with drivers that
I don't find very good oh okay well I would get sick no matter what this is
when I was a kid um I love reading I
love reading and I loved playing on my Game Gear when I was a kid okay all them
batteries so basically that's why you like Loop so much I would just play
through it and it would get to the point where I would feel so sick that I
couldn't even look up from the book because that would be like too much and
I'd like and eventually I'd give in and I'd have to put it down and I'd have to
just kind of chill for like an hour and then I could go and then I'd go right
back to it so I do wonder if I've built a bit of a tolerance and I wonder if
that's something that other people have done as well you just like force yourself through it yeah yeah cuz is
like I need to know what happens in the next chapter and feeling sick is
straight up not more important than that right now I've been there I've been
there yeah um so Sony is apparently
working on a PS4 Remote Play app for the
well for PC and Mac which is pretty cool so here's the original article from uh
lonus Tech tips uh hold on no sorry
here's the original article from The Verge sorry my bad I would I'm so stoked
for the day that we just like happened to get some WR dude and we have original
articles from line of tech tips yeah I know right that would be super cool
should happen at some point yeah can't be impossible yeah cuz I mean come on
how hard was this article to write Remote Play is one of the PlayStation
4's most underrated features probably because it only works on the VA and some
Sony smartphones that no one cares about something something this app should
bring Sony in line with Microsoft which launched Xbox One streaming a while ago
here's a tweet these things are cool I want them
to make it so I can just play these games on my computer yep that would be
better I mean here's something I want to know why can't I just buy a virtual
PlayStation 4 yes if I'm willing to give Sony $400 to not make any hardware
shouldn't they Embrace that or you can do my scary but kind of
cool idea the uh proprietary Drive thing
do you remember that yep yep yep for the
for the viewers did did I ever even say this on the show I think so yeah okay
for the viewers you could get like an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 like optical
drive or hard drive or whatever and then
like put the discs in that you have to buy from the store so that they know
they have their copy protection crap or the hard drive that's controlled by them
and you can't format or something I don't know cuz it's gotten to the point
now where Xbox one and PlayStation 4 are just
PCS they're just PCS there's nothing
special about them which like aren't even that well priced anymore so if I'm
like look I don't need your UI I don't
care about your Netflix app I don't care about any of this stuff I really just
want a game on my PC why can't I just give you my money and then you can just
make that work for me I I would be interested to see how many people would do it and like people can be upset all
they want about you know well what I have to pay $400 to get access to
exclusive titles uh game developers should just release the titles on PC
okay but that isn't happening so I agree but yeah it's not happening exactly like
you just said and I know a lot of people that buy entire consoles for game
launches like Halo 5 y so I wouldn't be that surprised if it did happen I don't
know if I would do it but I do know quite a few people that
would all right what else we got here uh
in news that surprises absolutely no one EA is already planning more Battlefront
games y EA confirms its deal with Disney
which is for like 10 years or something like that Su uh oh my goodness we never
did our sponsors So speaking of uh
whatever Phantom something that happens every time yeah wow we have 88,200
viewers right now yay 88,200 of you can
use offer code W PG for 20% off at
phantom.pro if for the next 60 days for the next 60 days really that long offer
code is valid for 60 days nice cool so
oh yeah I guess I don't offer code as a Christmas present and just watch them
hopefully like you a lot um so yeah so these are gorilla glass screen
protectors for a variety of devices they've got a lot lot of different screen protectors in fact they've got
their standard ones now they've also got their new two-way privacy glass screen
protectors available for some Apple devices and uh I guess that's pretty
straightforward it goes on without any bubbles if you've watched any of our CES
content from last year you'll know everything there is to know about Phantom glass we played soccer with the
iPhone 6 that Nick light is now using as
his daily driver it's that one yeah with Phantom glass on the front and with one
of those vasel cases as a bumper around the back vessel Vel and a dbrand skin on
the back or around the edges for the case and between dbrand vessel vasel v i
don't anyway and Phantom glass that phone completely unscathed
completely fine completely fine so there you go it's every bit as good as the
gorilla glass that's already on your phone except you can peel it off and you
could replace it if you do something incredibly stupid like really try to
scratch it cuz that's usually how gorilla glass gets scratched but that
said interesting side note Gorilla Glass is not all made equal uh my iPhone 6s is
already covered in micros scratches like covered in them whereas the Droid Turbo
that I've been using for a year is like pristine and they live in the same
pocket I never put this in my pocket with my keys even Keys shouldn't in
theory scratch I don't do anything with
this like I'm actually pretty good with it I don't know I've really noticed a
significant difference from device to device and the iPhone 6 for example uh
both its own screen which I used for a while before I put Phantom glass on it
and the Phantom glass screen that I had on it were fine but the iPhone 6s it's
possible actually because they don't advertise it as Gorilla Glass anymore it's possible Apple actually switched
I'm not sure all right and freshbooks
freshbooks is the easy to ous invoicing software that help small businesses look
professional and actually be more professional because you can you can
track your hours more easily and more accurately you can send out invoices get
paid by credit card through freshbooks itself and this is cool if you run a
small business whether you run your own dance studio or you a plumbing business
or computer repair or maybe you don't repair computers maybe you just take
viruses off of off of people in your neighborhood's computers which I guess
is sort of repair I was thinking physical repair but there's lots of
different kinds of repair you know like love

something so it sits in here and you can see put it vertical it's fine but you
can take the box off which is magnetically held in and then you can
take the cover of the Box off which is also magnetically held wa to go well
that's cuz I held it in a really stupid way that was my fault but like I don't
know it's cool yeah no I'm liking it and
like the uh like the screwdriver has a really nice um neural bottom on it now
so you can get a little bit more torque with it looks more usable yeah it's it's
it's thicker in general and we as we all know thicker is always better um thicker
yeah this is really cool I actually hadn't seen it before and it's not the
it's not the standard 54 bit driver kit but um there is a there's like a wooden
box version of this too yeah yeah that one looks really nice they didn't send
