WEBVTT

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:08.360
and we're live welcome to the W show sorry guys Luke couldn't join us yet

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.599
don't worry he'll be here in a little bit but for now Slender Man will be

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:17.000
taking his place while I introduce the topics for the day and all that good

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:20.600
stuff because Luke is actually finishing

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.320
up what will be tomorrow's video right

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:28.960
now we're going to be covering the ASUS Gladius Rog Mouse it was supposed to be

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.880
an Assassin's Creed Unity performance guide with a bunch of graphics cards and

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:39.239
benchmarking and all that stuff but I'll let him cover when he gets back why that

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:42.280
didn't happen H yeah it was it was pretty bad so we've got a lot of great

00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:47.600
topics for you guys today aside from that an AMD has released the mantle

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:54.039
public SDK so they are pretty much inviting

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:56.480
everyone with some uh with some need to

00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:00.359
have a super like bare Toth Metal Graphics API whether it's game

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.799
developers or say for example other Hardware manufacturers they're inviting

00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:08.640
everyone to the party AT&T is acting

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:13.960
like a small child about the ongoing net neutrality debate in the US and uh

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.840
honestly this is just unreal so we'll give you more details on that and the

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:24.000
NVIDIA Shield tablet is going to be one of the first devices not made by Google

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.960
to feature the new Android 5.0 Lollipop

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.560
Os Oh also I guess you know grid gam streaming went out of beta so we'll talk

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:35.880
about that as well but for now now I got to roll the intro to buy myself some

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.399
time to uh go ahead and get our

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:43.520
announcement video up that we're live so that's a

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:46.000
thing oh there's no music in this one I

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.880
swear one of these days I'm going to figure out which one has the music and

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:50.880
this is not going to happen

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.799
anymore do oh yeah one of our sponsors

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.079
today is Squarespace actually there's a bunch of

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.640
new and really cool stuff about Squarespace for this week we'll be covering that a little bit later and our

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:17.360
second sponsor for today ignore that one that flashed in between that's the

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:20.120
wardrobe malfunction is Phantom glass visit store.

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.200
phantom.in protector you will ever need that's their slogan and I actually

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:32.000
believe it in this case it's a gorilla glass cover for your Gorilla Glass so

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:38.560
you can gorilla will you gorilla all right now I'm going to go ahead and

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:41.080
finish this click now to watch live

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.519
httv twitch.tv LST

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:52.720
Tech boom all right that video is up so let's jump right into our first topic

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:55.519
AMD releases public mantle SDK well th

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:59.920
this year so let's go ahead and um first give credit to our op so Tera flop

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:05.640
posted this on the lens Tech tips forum and the original article is from and I

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:12.440
know these guys aren't the most popular source of news on the Linus Tech chips

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:15.280
Forum but W wccf Tech posted that it is

00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:20.879
coming this year and AMD has basically come out and said look NVIDIA and Intel

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:28.439
we want you guys to use it you can use it for free Now Intel has expressed some

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:32.480
interest in mantle apparently um NVIDIA

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.120
on the other hand has not been that warm

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:39.680
and has not been that uh friendly to the whole idea but I mean this was something

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:46.239
that we've talked about in the past as well it might not necessarily be about

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:49.159
mantle being the API for you know every

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:55.920
future game although they do have a surprising number of games on the list

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.760
of already released to be released soon

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:02.360
and currently in development that are supporting this technology but it might

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:07.760
not end up being mantle API that you know the game runs on ultimately 5 years

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.680
from now but what's great about them

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:15.239
opening up the kimono a little bit like this is Kronos and Microsoft so the

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:20.440
openg and direct X guys have already said that they're looking at mantle and

00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:26.720
possibly implementing various parts of it in their own apis so I mean openg has

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:34.160
the advantage of its ubiquity I mean you can run openg games on a tablet or you

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:37.080
can run them on a PC um so that's really

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:42.039
cool direct X of course has that amazing backwards compatibility as well as that

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:48.039
enormous industrywide support on the PC side of things and so if either of those

00:04:45.039 --> 00:04:51.440
get anything positive out of AMD's

00:04:48.039 --> 00:04:55.120
public mantle SDK then that's uh that's

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.280
absolutely fantastic so that's I mean

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.759
it's it's incredible how much momentum it's gained and yet how it might not end

00:05:00.039 --> 00:05:05.600
up being the winner but there's no question that mantle has pushed the

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:11.360
industry forward and we should definitely be thankful for

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:17.280
that all right I just you know let's do a straw

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:22.680
pull here I want to hear from you guys okay straw pole

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:30.720
will NVIDIA provide any kind of mantle

00:05:27.960 --> 00:05:37.280
support yes no and let's go with apple fritter for

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:42.360
our third option because I know how much you guys love you know just not

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:48.160
contributing to the poll at all all right let's go ahead and spam the chat

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:52.039
with this bad boy boom boom

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.680
boom ah I missed that first time yeah no

00:05:52.039 --> 00:05:56.800
matter where you click in that apparently the camera looks really bad

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:01.479
today I don't know what you're talking about all right there we go

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.479
all that's bam so we've already got uh who's this

00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:10.039
in twitch chat one man Pizza in twitch chat already says it's not even a

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:16.039
question they will never I I don't necessarily think that's

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:21.039
true I mean it's not like NVIDIA is in a position where if some game comes out

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:26.919
that that ends up actually running you know 20 30% better on mantle compared to

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:30.680
directx12 which looks like it's going to offer many of the same benefits so this

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:35.560
kind of thing seems very un likely but if there was a game like a really key

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:40.759
game or a lots of games like a dozen games that run 20 30% faster on mantle

00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:45.599
you really think NVIDIA's not going to leverage that if they can I I don't

00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:48.800
think that's true at all but let's go ahead and see what you guys think let's

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:57.360
fire up these results here while I move on to the next topic wow we've got 51%

00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.919
of you uh saying no 30% of you saying

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:04.520
apple fritter and a um tiny 19% of you saying yes so it looks

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:10.360
like you guys are pretty much on the same page about both apple fritters and

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:18.039
uh the chances that NVIDIA will provide any kind of support in their drivers for

00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:19.960
metal all right our next topic actually

00:07:18.039 --> 00:07:25.160
you know what this is a Ubisoft thing so I think I'm really just going to have to

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:26.960
wait until Luke gets here for this um so

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:31.840
first up is this was posted by Tech dreamer on the Forum let's go and the

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:34.759
original IAL here is from Ang Gadget but

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:43.039
Tom wheeler the FCC chairman says that he may ignore Obama on the topic of net

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:45.000
neutrality now he made it very clear

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:51.759
that even though he was appointed by Obama the FCC is a separate entity just

00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:56.240
because the White House says something like you know oh we want to classify the

00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:01.720
internet in the same way that we now classify telephone lines so there can be

00:07:58.919 --> 00:08:05.440
there can be no no messing about with the way that traffic gets allocated and

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:09.680
and the way that bandwidth gets allocated so that you know large

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:14.520
corporations would have an advantage if they're able to afford to pay for

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:19.280
internet Fast Lanes so Obama's basically said look you know net neutrality is a

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:23.840
really good thing but the FCC chairman has come out and said that he thinks

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:29.560
that the solution while you know I I hopefully hopefully you know

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:33.399
the the solution that the internet service providers are offering up which

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.560
is that they should basically be able to do whatever they want as far as I can

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:42.000
tell he's saying he prefers a or he prefers a more nuanced solution so you

00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:46.240
guys can interpret that however you want but it sounds like what we're likely to

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.800
end up with isn't going to be straight net neutrality and isn't going to be

00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:55.600
straight the isps are allowed to do whatever they want but some critics and

00:08:52.680 --> 00:09:00.360
Advocates are expressing their concern that a compromise between these two

00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:08.399
might just end up with a muddy set of rules that doesn't actually have a whole

00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:10.880
lot of meaning in the real world so guys

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:14.680
there are a thousand places that you can voice your opinion on the subject of net

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:20.079
neutrality but the only thing I really have to say about it at this point is go

00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:25.720
voice it it's extremely important without net neutrality we could see

00:09:22.079 --> 00:09:27.880
situations where let's say a company

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:32.560
like oh I don't know hypothetically Netflix were to try to start a let's say

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:38.200
hypothetically streaming service where they deliver video programming to

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:40.440
people's homes and let's say you know an

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:43.399
incumbent let's say Comcast whose business happens to be and these are

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:46.959
just examples these are hypothetical companies any semblance they bear to

00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:50.560
existing companies it's purely coincidental so let's say for example

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:54.160
this company hypothetically named Comcast goes oh well you know we're in

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:58.519
the business of providing internet connections to people's homes but we're

00:09:55.680 --> 00:10:02.720
also in the business of providing video content to people's homes and if these

00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:08.320
guys are going to use our lines for that well they should be paying us a lot more

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:09.880
than necessarily the you know exact

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.480
amount we would normally charge for the amount of bandwidth that they're using

00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:18.839
and if we don't maintain net neutrality we will be stuck in a situation where

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:24.200
they would be free to do that and we could rely on the courts to enforce any

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:29.240
kinds of you know anti- competitive laws or whatever else but we talked about

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.000
this last week where oh shoot and I

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:36.240
forget how long it took I think it was back in 2000 was the issue with Intel

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:42.120
misrepresenting the performance of their Pentium 4 processors against AMD's

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:44.160
competitor and so 14 years later last

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:49.399
week this was news people who bought that misrepresented processor got $15 I

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:54.800
mean that's how long this takes and that's how ineffective it is um so I

00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:58.560
wouldn't I wouldn't rely on that we just need to make sure that we keep the the

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:03.720
freedoms that we already enjoy in the first place place if we want to have any

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:07.360
chance of of not living in a world where

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:10.360
our isps are in control cuz we know how

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.079
awesome they are speaking of how of how

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:18.360
awesome our isps are AT&T has publicly okay this was posted

00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:24.200
by Dietrich W on the Forum the original article here is from The Verge I'll just

00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:27.240
pull this up here but AT&T has oh that's

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.160
weird oops okay hold on a second let's

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:35.600
just change my screen share around here wow it just decided that it was going to

00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:35.600
go into extend mode rather than

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:41.040
duplicate okay

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.480
what

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:55.680
ah sometimes I just don't even you know

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:58.399
like I just don't even get it so let's

00:11:55.680 --> 00:12:00.959
just show desktop only on one let's try that first

00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:10.000
okay keep changes sorry guys then let's

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:11.600
try uh oh okay and then that display is

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.480
completely not detected anymore which might explain some of why it's uh being

00:12:14.040 --> 00:12:21.680
a little bit borked anyway the original article is from The Verge here and

00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:24.040
AT&T's basically said well you know look

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:28.160
we're not going to invest in high-speed fiber connections and there were they're

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.240
in talks with something along the lines of 100 cities about getting high-speed

00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:37.959
fiber rolled out and this looked very reactionary to Google Fiber starting to

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:42.240
roll out in selected cities and so they're saying okay look we're not going

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:48.040
to invest in any of that stuff until we know the lay of the land with the new

00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:49.440
rules um so so basically how much money

00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:54.519
they're going to be able to squeeze out of every you know foot of fiber that

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:59.680
they lay down in these cities and this is extremely disappointing to me not

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.720
only because they already got the money

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:05.720
to build a better infrastructure I mean this was this is this is well documented

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.800
at this point they got the money they did nothing with it so aside from that

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:15.959
they've already been paid um this is disappointing because it's not like

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:18.720
they're not doing just fine today the

00:13:15.959 --> 00:13:25.279
plan to roll out this high-speed fiber networking is in place on the basis of

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:29.000
they're already doing just fine charging people as much as they're charging them

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:32.199
for internet connections that at some point they had to build the

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:36.519
infrastructure for and at some point that investment paid off from a business

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:42.600
standpoint investing in something that you can get someone to pay you 50 to $75

00:13:40.199 --> 00:13:48.440
a month or whatever else for in densely populated areas is a winning proposition

00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:54.600
and the only reason that they can afford to just sit on ass until presumably

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:56.759
sometime in early to mid 2015 when these

00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.959
rulings get finalized I mean if it even happens then the only reason they're

00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:07.279
able to do that is because it is so difficult for competitors to come in and

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.920
force them to step up their game so I I

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.279
I don't know how all this plays out I mean it's it's easy for me to say as a

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:17.680
Canadian well this is all kind of us nonsense so it will never affect me here

00:14:15.199 --> 00:14:22.759
but the problem is that so much of what happens in the US does tend to become a

00:14:21.079 --> 00:14:26.959
precedent that's been set for it now and it does tend to trickle down to other

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:33.800
places not everywhere but in the case of Canada that tends to happen a whole heck

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.560
of a lot and our isps are no less evil

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:39.480
than the American isps so they're going to look at what worked down there and

00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:42.880
they're going to push real hard to have it you know work up here and they're

00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:47.560
going to build case studies and they're going to Lobby our politicians and go oh

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:51.880
well look how successful this was it you know did this for the economy because

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:54.600
we're able to charge this much more to to whatever else

00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:02.160
so what a childish thing to do we're just going to stop building any more

00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:06.399
better infrastructure until you know we get and they haven't they haven't said

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:09.920
that it has to be a favorable ruling they've just said that they are going to

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:15.680
re-evaluate their plans once there's a ruling but I think we all kind of know

00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:15.680
how this is uh how this is going to play

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:24.279
out got people asking where's Luke Luke is recording a video right now so as

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:29.639
soon as he's done he's going to jump up here and join me and then boot Slender

00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:36.360
Man out of his spot all right so this is uh this is a really

00:15:34.199 --> 00:15:41.759
unfortunate little piece of news this was posted by Victoria Secret on the

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:44.720
Forum and it is unusual for large

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:49.440
companies like NVIDIA to come and out and speak speak publicly to post on

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:56.680
their blog about you know something like an ongoing lawsuit but uh this is this

00:15:52.480 --> 00:16:00.680
is really important not because of

00:15:56.680 --> 00:16:05.959
really I straight up don't understand

00:16:00.680 --> 00:16:08.959
where that's coming from that is oh I

00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:10.920
know what it is that's a that's a screen

00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:16.319
grab of the last thing that I was looking at it's not updating anymore I

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:20.519
see okay well you guys will just have to take my word for it it's on NVIDIA's

00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:24.519
blog and uh basically I'm I'm going to kind of run through the whole thing here

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:28.639
because it's super it's super crappy and Samsung is behaving like a spoiled child

00:16:26.839 --> 00:16:32.360
about this so they basically said look we filed patent lawsuits 2 months ago

00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:36.000
against Samsung and Qualcomm alleging that they've used our patented GPU

00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:41.160
technology without proper compensation to us when we filed those suits we fully

00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:44.959
expected to be sued in response it's a predictable tactic so we weren't

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:49.319
surprised when earlier this week Samsung filed the lawsuit against us adding in

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:52.880
for good measure velocity micro I don't know if you guys are familiar with

00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:58.519
velocity micro if you don't follow the boutique system builder space you know

00:16:54.800 --> 00:17:00.279
the Falcon Northwest and uh you know pit

00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:06.160
systems guys of the world you might never have heard of velocity micro but

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:08.480
they're a a pretty small company okay

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:12.520
they're not like a gigantic Mega corporation like a like a Dell where

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:19.480
there could be some kind of you know collusion between Dell and NVIDIA to

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.880
allegedly break some Samsung patent or

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.439
something they're just they're just a system integrator very similar to this

00:17:22.760 --> 00:17:32.320
could have just as easily happened to any other shop that builds custom gaming

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:35.039
Rigs and sells them on their website so

00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:39.760
they included velocity micro a small customer based in Virginia so their

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:44.760
action focuses on eight patents NVIDIA is alleged to have violated six and

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:49.120
included in the in the filing is a false advertising claim against NVIDIA um that

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.480
the statement about the Shield tablet with the K eger K1 processor is the

00:17:50.919 --> 00:17:58.000
world's fastest mobile processor there saying it's fals and misleading so NVIDIA goes and like straight up puts

00:17:56.120 --> 00:18:04.280
here's our benchmarks against the exos 54 433 that's in the Note 4 yeah you're

00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.280
not faster yes NVIDIA did include a lot

00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:13.039
of gaming focused benchmarks so are they spinning things a

00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:14.880
little bit uh yes but they also included

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:20.360
some non-gaming Focus bench marks and it looks like if you were to just sort of

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:23.520
you fire a shotgun and if you hit sort

00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:25.600
of you know the the Dozen or 15 or so

00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:31.039
benchmarks that they ran you would hit more that NVIDIA wins than that Samsung

00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.000
wins and uh pretty much here we go it's

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:36.200
unfortunate that Samsung sued velocity this isn't velocity's fight this is this

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:42.320
is just extremely this is just extremely crappy

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:45.840
a velocity and this isn't something that um that NVIDIA's put in their article

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:51.159
but it is something that I've seen in some of the articles about NVIDIA's blog

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:56.039
post but you know we got to consider when we shop a lot of different things

00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.400
that often we don't we tend to look at a spec sheet we tend to look at a

00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:06.720
benchmark Mar score and we tend to look at a price and then we go ahead and we

00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:09.880
we make a purchasing decision but I

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.880
mean no one I shouldn't say no one I

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:16.480
think a lot of us are frustrated at times with the way that Apple behaves

00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:20.080
with respect to its patents but is Samsung really being any less vindictive

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:24.640
and it's one thing if they're going to go after another big boy you know if

00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:28.320
they're going to go after an apple or an NVIDIA but it's a whole other one if

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:31.720
they bring in a little company like velocity that didn't do anything other

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:36.440
than put NVIDIA graphics cards in their systems um just because and this is

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:41.760
NVIDIA's Theory this is allegedly just because Virginia tends to process these

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:46.600
filings extremely quickly and velocity had the bad luck to be located in

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:51.159
Virginia so just something to something to

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:54.880
consider oh there there is an open letter to the public from Randy Copeland

00:19:53.080 --> 00:19:59.240
the CEO of velocity micro where he basically says look we know nothing

00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:04.320
about thee previous issues between Samsung NVIDIA and we don't care you

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:08.280
know his response really had a very he had a very it had a very bitter tone to

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:13.559
it and he basically said we'll have to use company resources to defend

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:16.200
ourselves from Samsung and obviously

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:20.440
mismatched opponent and he says if this is how Samsung operates we want no part

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:24.840
of it and we hope others agree and we consider this during the upcoming

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:29.840
holiday shopping season can't say I disagree Mr cop who

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.520
I've actually never had the pleasure of meeting but seems like a nice enough guy

00:20:32.159 --> 00:20:36.880
and doesn't deserve this kind of nonsense all right I've got another

00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:41.880
Ubisoft thing here that I'm going to skip and wait for uh wait for Luke to

00:20:38.679 --> 00:20:45.600
come in so he can weigh on but I have

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:48.320
the most hilarious thing that I probably

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:52.679
saw this entire week to show you guys here and I'm going to I'm going to fire

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:58.159
it up on on this computer so that I can screen share with you guys so you can

00:20:54.039 --> 00:21:02.039
see this but this is freaking unreal gig

00:20:58.159 --> 00:21:04.200
B releases a triple or show shows off I

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:08.880
don't think you can buy it yet I'd be surprised if you can ever buy it to be

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:14.240
perfectly honest um shoot where did it go I can buy you I'll buy your face oh

00:21:12.760 --> 00:21:18.159
all right so the original article here is from tech power up let's go ahead and

00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:23.080
do a quick screen share I don't know what's broken about my uh my stupid

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:29.640
thing here but I can't screen share again this week all right screen region

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:37.480
boom okay Gigabyte announces gtx980 water

00:21:32.919 --> 00:21:42.039
Force Tri SLI all right so this is three

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:46.840
GTX 980s each with their own individual

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:50.640
120 mm radiator and 120 mm cooling fan

00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:54.640
it features this massive like coolant

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:57.520
exos style external radiator system

00:21:54.640 --> 00:22:02.919
thing and then presumably because Gigabyte wanted to use a prepackaged

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:08.200
solution um instead of going with a custom pump configuration and then

00:22:05.520 --> 00:22:14.679
allowing one pump or even dual pumps to power the whole thing each of these is

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:17.480
its own separate allinone with its own

00:22:14.679 --> 00:22:22.880
separate pump and then its own separate set of Inlet and Outlet lines into the

00:22:20.120 --> 00:22:28.760
computer so you actually have to run all six of these tubes into your computer

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.640
with this box sitting next to it how are you even going to be able to do that

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:37.360
though uh because I could see like are they really really small tubing they

00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:42.960
look like quarter inch to me oh man so they're not hyper small like you're

00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:45.480
probably ripping a PCI like slot out of

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.520
the back gross on the back of your case cuz like you're not going to be able to

00:22:46.679 --> 00:22:53.440
get through the included grommets and because it's pre-filled okay because

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:57.080
it's pre-filled you can't even like go through a grommet unless you could

00:22:55.600 --> 00:23:00.760
thread your graphics card through your water cooling grommet

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:05.360
oh my God so this you wouldn't be able to go through one of the expansion card

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:09.000
slots either then oh yeah wait how's this even supposed to work I wonder if

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:12.760
they do have go through the maybe they have quick connects okay maybe I'm wrong

00:23:10.919 --> 00:23:17.799
about this don't quote me on that the front you have to go through the

00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:23.080
front no that's

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:29.279
horrible no they didn't even sleep the cable look look look look look this is

00:23:25.919 --> 00:23:30.320
worse than I could have Poss

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.000
yeah they can yeah yeah they're looking at this right

00:23:32.360 --> 00:23:37.919
now come on is that okay do they give

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:43.360
you a custom like B thing I guess so that is it isn't it

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:45.440
yeah wow just wow mind you mind you here

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:53.880
this is a value at it comes with this graphics card reinforcement cool bracket

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.760
doohickey bracket do hii and and so yeah

00:23:53.880 --> 00:24:02.840
is that a custom that's a coolest lie Bridge yeah I'm not going to buy this to

00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:06.919
get that SL hybridge mind you but um but I wouldn't buy that to buy the like

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:13.320
thing that looks like a BAL tire pump either so yeah welcome to the show thank

00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:15.880
you um so I was saving the Ubisoft topics oh yeah so I should probably

00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:20.400
finish up I should probably finish up that graphics card thing for you guys uh

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:25.159
each of the cards is going to be clocked at 1228 MHz core 1329 boost although of

00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:31.159
course you'll be able to overclock them further at with 7 GHz on the memory

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:35.600
um the front panel can control fan speeds and coolant pressure of each of

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:41.520
the three Loops for whatever reason you wanted to

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:43.159
do that and I think that's pretty much

00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:47.520
it it's fully assembled in the factory but I think that was implied when I said

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:53.120
these were these were pre-built yeah okay so let's start with uh let's start

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:55.840
with this article on PC pur.com and I

00:24:53.120 --> 00:25:00.000
apologize for for this just being sort of a little bit cluggy this week I will

00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:04.640
figure out what's wrong with the capture card um so here's the original article

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:10.799
from pcp.com it was post posted by obscure mammal on the Forum where um

00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:16.480
Ryan had an article or had an opportunity to talk to the Ubisoft

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.840
development team about hey actually

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:22.840
didn't know about this article what the heck is what the heck is going on over

00:25:19.919 --> 00:25:28.240
there um so basically the development team came back and said that Assassin's

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:33.279
Creed Unity is one of the most detailed games on the market it has a giant hold

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:37.960
on hold on just calm down Luke it has a giant open world city with tens of

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:43.559
thousands of objects visible on screen Paris is incredibly detailed for example

00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:45.520
notredam is millions of triangles itself

00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:50.240
it features Global illumination local Reflections realistic High dynamic range

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:54.799
lighting they talked about scaling down the quality to allow for lower system

00:25:52.279 --> 00:26:01.279
requirements but decided against it because they were targeting existing PC

00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:04.320
Hardware not future cards but high-end

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:06.520
existing PC hardware and this is a quote

00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:11.120
our position always came back to us ensuring that Assassin's Creed Unity is

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:17.039
a nextg only game with breakthrough graphics with this Vision we did not

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:19.000
degrade the visual quality of the game

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:23.080
they are planning to continue working on optim oh I haven't been screen sharing

00:26:20.760 --> 00:26:32.039
with you guys I'm sorry there's the article on PC per so yeah basically it's

00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:35.000
it's just Ryan asking questions and

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:43.000
then a big long thing oh there's some updates since the last time I I had

00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:44.279
uh okay so apparently okay okay okay so

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:48.520
there's updates we can actually chat about these updates very briefly but the

00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:51.679
the the last part of what we originally sort of sort of knew about this was that

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:56.640
they're going to continue working on optimizations and you'll hear more details shortly so here's an update a

00:26:55.320 --> 00:27:02.320
couple of other media Outlets have posted anonymous information that indicates that the draw call count for

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:07.000
Assassin's Creed uni is at fault for the poor poor performance of The Game on PCS

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:11.120
according to this quote unquote anonymous source while the consoles have

00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:16.279
lowlevel API access to Hardware to accept and process several times the

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:19.279
number of draw calls that direct X11 can

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:22.039
um direct X11 is limited to 7 to 10,000

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:28.159
Peak draw calls while um the game is apparently pushing in

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:30.440
excess of 50,000 draw calls per

00:27:28.159 --> 00:27:34.840
frame and then if this turns out to be true it would be a confir confirmation

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:41.279
that UBC didn't take the time to implement a direct directx11 Port

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.799
correctly and if it's not true or that's

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:48.080
only partially to blame then we're left with more meaningless finger pointing because people really want to point

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:54.279
fingers I've seen fingers pointed at NVIDIA Gameworks yeah I've seen fingers

00:27:50.840 --> 00:27:56.320
pointed at Ubisoft um I actually don't

00:27:54.279 --> 00:28:01.519
think I've seen anyone blame Microsoft for this one although you could make the

00:27:57.760 --> 00:28:04.279
argument that if we're draw bound um the

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:09.080
overhead associated with DirectX 11 could be partially to blame given that

00:28:06.919 --> 00:28:14.200
it's no secret that graphics card makers like AMD have been pushing for a lower

00:28:12.159 --> 00:28:20.880
level API to the point where they went just went and created their own their

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:24.120
own for an awfully long time now um but

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:25.679
it makes a ton of sense especially

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:28.880
because even though we weren't able to do our own performance testing of

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:33.200
Assassin's Creed unity and I'll let you go on that very soon especially weren't

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:36.240
able to do our own today and yesterday which is what we wanted to do um it

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:41.000
makes sense given that we've looked at other people's performance analysis and

00:28:38.320 --> 00:28:46.440
it just doesn't make any sense yeah we don't seem to be limited by the

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:50.080
traditional things like memory bandwidth

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:51.440
or you know fill rates or at the same

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:58.000
time though pretty much everyone that I've seen actually reporting numbers has

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:59.559
had like fairly blatant disclaimer being

00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:03.960
like it's pretty spiky because like even even the amount

00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:08.279
of times that I was able to get it live like I could be just staring at one

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:11.960
exact wall and like I lined up framings with like okay there's a Groove along

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:15.519
the wall here I put my screen exactly on that Groove stand on this I stand on

00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:21.480
exactly the spot like I had the framing perfect and I'd look at it and get 63

00:29:18.399 --> 00:29:22.720
FPS and I'd look away and come back and

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:28.679
now I'm at 52 and I'm

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:32.600
like wow bro I'm staring at the same wall like it should be the exact same

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:37.799
performance and it's just not like why not what is wrong with you so are we

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:41.240
actually here so why don't you give the update on your experience with

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:45.960
Assassin's Creed Unity so far okay so I'm sure they want to hear from

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.279
you it's awesome oh hold on hold on hold

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:54.399
on yeah there's a the little look I don't

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:56.559
know if we supposed to anyways um uh

00:29:54.399 --> 00:30:01.880
that's my that's on my shirt I'll hold really still yeah there you go um so it

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:05.760
it started off I showed up to work quite early today cuz I was like I need to get

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:10.919
this testing done before the W show trying to be all good Samaritan and get

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:16.279
you guys a video Yeah didn't get a successful boot for what 2 and a half

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:21.440
hours yeah no you were talking to me at like4 to 9 the first message I sent to

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:25.159
you was I think you hadn't had it booted yet yeah I think the first message I

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:29.440
sent to you was before 7 cuz I got to work pretty early I don't think I

00:30:27.320 --> 00:30:32.559
replied to that one no no not till later I was sleeping I I thought so I just

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:39.399
wanted to send that message before I forgot about it anyways um had tons of

00:30:35.919 --> 00:30:41.080
issues like I I could load in and then

00:30:39.399 --> 00:30:44.919
take like two steps and I'd lose connectivity to you play so the whole

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:48.880
game would just crash it wouldn't go like oh you're offline now you can't

00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:53.360
open those stupid freaking chests no you actually can't play at all and it's not

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:57.679
like it just closes the game the whole thing just like gray screens and then

00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:00.919
does that like uh Microsoft is trying to figure out what just happened to this

00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:07.440
program we don't really know do you want to end it I like of course it's trash um

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:09.200
anyways so then eventually I'm like I I

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:13.120
messaged lonus and I was like should I just go offline mode or should I go

00:31:11.120 --> 00:31:17.600
online mode like there's a noticeable performance increase when you go to

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:23.279
offline mode which is hilarious and I voted for offline mode because I figure

00:31:20.919 --> 00:31:28.320
they've got to patch this I'm sure that if there's that much of a performance

00:31:24.760 --> 00:31:30.639
disparity just between being

00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:34.519
and being offline they can probably implement that fairly easily so I was

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:38.039
like okay test offline and then hopefully that'll represent what people

00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:42.240
will be getting once the next patch shows up okay go ahead okay so so we're

00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:46.799
going along it's it's it's kind of working now I still have a few issues

00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:50.240
but I get over most of those and I I I get through it and I'm finally like okay

00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:55.960
I need to finally find a benchmarking run I had planned to have a benchmarking

00:31:52.360 --> 00:31:58.760
run way before now sorry of course it's

00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:01.960
trash Luke 24 I had planned to have a benchmarking run

00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:05.519
way before now I'm kind of worried cuz I need to get all these cards done but at

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:09.559
the same time I'm like 3/4 these cards aren't going to work anyways so whatever

00:32:08.159 --> 00:32:15.679
probably won't be as hard as I'm expecting it to be um finally loaded to

00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:19.919
the game and at this point I'm like okay I need at least at least a little bit of

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:24.159
a fighting scene and I need a little bit of free running and then I'll be happy I

00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:26.799
don't need much like I just need something that'll work and I'll just say

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:30.559
in the video that it's not great because I ran time CU it was broken and a

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:34.559
benchmark run doesn't necessarily have to be representative of the most

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:38.720
demanding scene in the entire game in fact a lot of the time it's not because

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:42.320
we're looking for repeatability so a benchmarking run should should be

00:32:40.639 --> 00:32:45.679
demanding enough that there isn't an obvious CPU bottleneck and you're going

00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:50.720
to want to try and show some amount of variance so like explosions and wide

00:32:48.360 --> 00:32:53.639
shots and close shots and lots of people and different things well like we want

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:59.039
to get a feel for how the engine performs and then we want to be able to

00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.039
rank graphics cards against

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:07.039
perance quantif FPS will get if I'm

00:33:05.399 --> 00:33:10.279
running a similar configuration to them in this spot in the game if I upgrade my

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:15.279
graphics card to this that's what we want you guys to

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.480
know anyways so I I found a spot that

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.200
was actually not too bad and it's pretty close to the beginning of the game you

00:33:19.080 --> 00:33:26.159
spawn in I'm not going to give any spoilers but you spawn in you run forward and follow some dude there's a

00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:29.440
fairly quick little sequence thing you run a little bit further you stab some

00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:32.639
dude you run a little bit further there's a little quick sequence thing

00:33:31.159 --> 00:33:37.159
you climb up some stuff you climb up some more stuff y y fairly straightforward and it captured the main

00:33:35.919 --> 00:33:42.480
things that I wanted to find and I was like okay this can kind of work but

00:33:40.760 --> 00:33:45.679
considering how fast I found that I actually have a little bit of extra time

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:51.039
let's see if I can push on forward and see if there's maybe a little bit more fighting scene because I literally just

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:54.120
ran past this dude poked him twice and then kept going that's all the fighting

00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.919
I got and I knew people would have been like H this isn't Assassin's Creed you

00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:04.159
have to stab more more people so I was like okay whatever I'll try to find something really quick run forward kill

00:34:02.159 --> 00:34:07.919
some guy that I didn't really seem was I didn't think was super important in

00:34:05.679 --> 00:34:13.159
hindsight like it kind of makes sense but it went into this crazy long stream

00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:16.839
of annoyingly not skippable for a lot of them cutcenes which ended up being like

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:21.359
8 minutes or something which if I had any amount of sound might have been good

00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:25.960
but I didn't cuz I'm on a benchmarking rig yeah so I'm just like sure I have no

00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:29.839
idea what's happening you guys are talking that's cool anyways it goes to

00:34:28.359 --> 00:34:35.399
the next sequence I'm like oh okay well how do I

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:41.040
get back to the last one cuz that's where my benchmarking run is you can't

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:45.359
you can't go back at least at this point in the game I don't know if maybe later

00:34:43.240 --> 00:34:49.359
on you're able to go into the the thing that I'm going to not spoiler and go

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:55.079
back but at this point in the game you can't go back in sequences you also

00:34:52.440 --> 00:35:00.400
can't delete your save file and you can't restart the game so you have your

00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:06.839
one save file and you have the furthest progress you've gotten to in that save

00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:08.119
file what so for the next little while I

00:35:06.839 --> 00:35:11.960
was very surprised that you couldn't do that in game for one but then

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:17.000
immediately I'm like okay whatever I'll just do the super ghetto option and go

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:22.000
delete it from either I'm assuming my documents or app data or inside the game

00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:25.560
folder not super likely that it's inside the game folder because you'd lose your

00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:31.280
saves if you uninstalled the game but it's possible I start looking around and

00:35:28.520 --> 00:35:35.640
I can't find Jack I can't find anything I I found a save games folder with

00:35:33.359 --> 00:35:40.160
folders that were just extremely long random strings of characters and inside

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.960
those folders just files that were just random numbers I'm like sweet found a

00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:49.119
couple that were from today but like I didn't want to delete the wrong stuff so

00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.119
I started looking online and I started tweeting and I asked people and some

00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:56.960
people shared some ideas someone was like oh it's file 740 or 720 or

00:35:55.640 --> 00:36:03.400
something I don't remember so are looking for that F

00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:06.240
420 um so I I but they can't be

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:10.839
high because you can only run the game on they keep on digging oh there's two

00:36:08.720 --> 00:36:17.800
jokes there good one um anyways So eventually I fig okay

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.880
it was supposed to be a folder named 720 but there was no folder named 720 but I

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:24.920
found a file named 720 which was created

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:31.240
today so I was like oh awesome okay we found it successful delete load the game

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:36.040
save still there what what okay so I go and nuke like

00:36:34.200 --> 00:36:42.040
every single file that's been created today like everything I can find just

00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:46.200
destroy everything whatever like if I have to redownload a small part of the

00:36:43.640 --> 00:36:49.720
game at least I have the bulk of it just go to like destroy everything mode it

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:54.560
takes a while to find everything delete it all launch the game file still there

00:36:52.880 --> 00:37:00.319
I still have my progression file I'm like what the crap what is going on why

00:36:57.680 --> 00:37:05.200
can't I get rid of you why won't you go away and then I'm like oh okay someone

00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:09.079
posted online even if you're on offline mode maybe one of the things that keeps

00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:13.560
functioning if you have internet is your Cloud saves right so I'm like actually

00:37:12.160 --> 00:37:16.520
that kind of makes sense cuz maybe you go into offline mode to like hide from

00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:21.520
people maybe it's their version of anonymous but you don't want to lose

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:23.200
your save files maybe like okay that's

00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:27.839
actually not a horrible feature I'm down with that okay fine I

00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:32.880
don't know how many people would I'd love it if we could just manage our save

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.359
files normally anyway exactly yeah but

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:40.839
or if it was like steam where you could be like I want to use the cloud SA or

00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:45.400
don't yeah yeah options are good thanks

00:37:40.839 --> 00:37:48.319
Ubisoft except no thanks steam um so I'm

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:52.079
like okay disable go back through I find those old files that I just deleted

00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:56.400
again so I'm like oh they're Cloud syncing that totally makes sense cuz it

00:37:54.720 --> 00:38:01.280
recreated them right right so I'm like all right right cool delete them all

00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:07.119
loadad the game save file still there so basically in a nutshell we're

00:38:05.040 --> 00:38:10.599
going to try and figure this out yeah uh but it's just it just might take some

00:38:08.520 --> 00:38:14.880
time and normally finding an Assassin's Creed run is just a matter of me making

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:18.000
sure Luke gets provided with a review copy of the game that he doesn't have to

00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:22.960
pay for and he just goes and plays it because he's going to play it anyway because he's the biggest fraking

00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:27.680
Assassin's Creed Fanboy ever like have you 100% did every game up till now yes

00:38:25.359 --> 00:38:30.760
yeah so there you go so usually finding an Assassin's Creed run is as simple as

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:35.000
Luke kind of having it in the back of his mind while he sits and like yeah

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:39.400
zombies out at his at his computer for 4 days after launch you know what I'm

00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:43.440
trying to think Black Flag you were a zombie for about a week after launch cuz

00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:47.760
as far as I can tell that was all you were doing outside of work time have you

00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:52.319
even been tempted to touch Unity no and I haven't wow I've been working in my

00:38:50.839 --> 00:38:56.359
spory time instead of playing and you've even played Assassin's Creed games 100%

00:38:54.800 --> 00:39:01.800
at Assassin's Creed games that by your own admission weren't that great no I

00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:04.920
hated three three sucked wow I was not a

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:08.920
fan of three at all so in the spirit of

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:12.800
keep on digging we are finally releasing

00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:15.599
the keep on digging shirt are we yes

00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:19.200
it's ready the campaign is ready we were supposed to have shirts to wear today

00:39:17.680 --> 00:39:24.400
you get banned from spanning your own channel really I think so oh all right

00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:29.040
well um just cuz that was that was just a lot I actually really want this shirt

00:39:26.040 --> 00:39:31.079
so oh I am I am super stoked on this

00:39:29.040 --> 00:39:34.720
shirt because the way we design the shirt it's not just to be used on

00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:39.599
Ubisoft necessarily you can keep on digging

00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:42.720
anything so the previous keep on digging even though we didn't use that

00:39:40.640 --> 00:39:47.960
terminology would have been EA so now we're just it's now Ubisoft and whoever

00:39:45.520 --> 00:39:51.520
e was brofist yeah that's true that's the origin of brofist that was the when

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:55.640
we started brofisting on the show yeah wow that was so all these gaming

00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:59.200
companies start our memes I know thank you for being ter

00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:04.160
and keep on keep on digging like I I know that I didn't invent the phrase

00:40:01.359 --> 00:40:10.400
keep on digging but did did I popularize it yeah for Ubisoft yeah yes it's all

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:17.920
over the place cuz there have been some fantastic keep on digging me St on like

00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:20.760

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:27.160
seen a lot of gifs of me digging on the show so guys if you want to rep if you

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.960

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:40.560

00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:45.839
might have to order a hoodie cuz the uh the the the Highlander

00:40:43.560 --> 00:40:49.520
hoodie I have is awesome it's super nice is it the same kind yeah it's the same

00:40:47.720 --> 00:40:55.760
one it's the it's the same Gilden one I wasn't sure about Gilden hoodies when we

00:40:52.359 --> 00:40:57.720
first um there we go when we first

00:40:55.760 --> 00:41:00.960
ordered our our Highlander stuff and I just kind of ordered one hoping it would

00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:04.280
be nice and I was checking if there were better options and that was all they

00:41:02.359 --> 00:41:08.560
really had but it's like super nice you saw it right yeah so I I definitely want

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:11.240
like a keep on digging hoodie yeah me too I'm going to buy

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:18.520
one every every winter season I get like a new hoodie this was last season so I

00:41:16.560 --> 00:41:22.400
need a new one yeah so everyone was everyone was pretty darn stoked with the

00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:26.520
uh with the quality of the Highlander shirts so that's why we're going ahead

00:41:24.240 --> 00:41:31.240
with Teespring again cuz they did a great job of uh of that campaign I had

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:36.720
uh a guy on the Forum and stuff Str strore map had two shirts from I think

00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:41.920
one from district lines and one from Teespring both show up with little holes

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:49.880
in them and he got both of them promptly replaced nice yeah so that's good all

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:54.240
right I feel like I had more crap to throw at e or Ubisoft oh no there

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:59.359
there's more like there's a there's a there's some crap going on with respect

00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:02.880
to to Far Cry 4 review copies oh polygon

00:41:59.359 --> 00:42:04.800
didn't get one really yeah they have

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:08.119
like a developer version that they can't use to actually review the game and then

00:42:06.680 --> 00:42:13.079
they couldn't get it working on any of their PlayStation 4s and then they just

00:42:10.560 --> 00:42:17.560
so they're just like so yeah we're other Publications got retail copies we don't

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:20.400
really understand why we don't have one so we're just going to go buy a retail

00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:24.760
copy we'll have a review for you guys as soon as possible wow yeah they've got a

00:42:22.319 --> 00:42:30.440
blog post up I was like really messed up oh jeez and then

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:35.839
what was it Assassin's Creed Unity the Embargo date was 12 hours after the

00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:37.480
release um total actually this ties into

00:42:35.839 --> 00:42:42.800
hold on let me just biscuit made a video for that didn't he I don't know if he

00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:44.640
made a video about it but um okay I here

00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:48.680
can I can I do our next news article first then um but this is great I'm so

00:42:47.200 --> 00:42:52.839
happy with this I'm going to talk about total biscuits thing so Ubisoft stock

00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:57.839
and I actually haven't looked at it today so this is the old headline but

00:42:55.040 --> 00:43:04.240
Ubisoft stock fell 99.33% um direct immediately after the

00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:06.720
Assassin's Creed Unity launch I mean we

00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:14.400
are talking not inconsequential amounts of money and I am so glad because I I am

00:43:11.359 --> 00:43:17.599
a huge advocate for gamers voting with

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:20.240
their wallets if you don't like it not

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:25.599
only don't play it or no excuse me not only don't buy it don't even play it

00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:31.440
don't even give them the opportunity to look at like piracy you know seeds and

00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:35.520
Torrance and and and try to extrap take those as positive metrics yes they can

00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:41.880
interpret that positively even by downloading it you can be supporting

00:43:38.359 --> 00:43:44.720
what they're doing if you ignore Far Cry

00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:49.480
4 if every single one of you and all of your friends ignore Far Cry 4 and all of

00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:53.520
their friends and all of their friends if you can make a difference to the

00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:56.640
pocketbooks of these companies they will treat you like your voice actually

00:43:55.240 --> 00:44:02.040
matters because because as long as you keep giving them money your voice doesn't matter not at all y the only

00:44:00.319 --> 00:44:05.200
reason why we wanted to do and still kind of want to do an Assassin's Creed

00:44:03.720 --> 00:44:09.040
Unity benchmarking video and the only reason we will want to do a Far Cry 4

00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:13.319
video is that we can warn everyone essentially like look at this crap it

00:44:11.359 --> 00:44:18.200
doesn't freaking work don't buy it we're not a we're not a gaming publication we

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:22.119
are a hardware publication so we're going to look at it from a hardware

00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:25.760
perspective this is how well this piece of Hardware handles this game and then

00:44:24.200 --> 00:44:31.000
we're going to do some investigation which is going to take a lot of detective work in this case to figure

00:44:28.720 --> 00:44:34.280
out why this particular game doesn't run well on that particular hardware and

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:39.040
we're going to come to a conclusion that should be fairly obvious by this point in time because it's trash because we

00:44:37.720 --> 00:44:43.640
want you guys to know this stuff but we're not going to be doing Let's Plays

00:44:40.839 --> 00:44:48.079
of Assassin's Creed Unity no well exactly two minutes yeah in a way that

00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:52.319
you probably shouldn't play the game unless you're so we're going to

00:44:50.359 --> 00:44:57.200
have it open on our computers un unless you're very

00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:03.200
specifically trying to B bench market so to be clear you know a stock dip like

00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:06.480
this can be temporary it might not be indicative of a long-term struggle I

00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:12.000
wouldn't be surprised if it bounced back at least a little bit but it can be a

00:45:09.319 --> 00:45:17.079
warning sign and it can be and at least if nothing else it's going to be an

00:45:14.200 --> 00:45:21.480
attention grabber because Executives and bean counters will notice that even if

00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:28.319
they're not reading you know every comment in the twitch chat of the Linus

00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.319
Tech W show stream you know yeah exactly

00:45:28.319 --> 00:45:36.040
not watching which I feel very disconnected from cuz I don't have my laptop right now oh you don't have a

00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:40.440
laptop wow you're like a you're like a

00:45:36.040 --> 00:45:41.920
you're like a peasant of no laptop of

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:47.680
why don't you just um here why don't I message well no because the the the the

00:45:44.040 --> 00:45:49.720
peasants are defined by their disbelief

00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:56.280
of PCS being better that's true I didn't mean console peasant I just meant your a

00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:58.000
wow peasant because glorious wow Master

00:45:56.280 --> 00:46:03.319
race people have laptops so so okay yeah that's really

00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:08.839
unfortunate I'll ask Nick to bring you one okay cool um okay so let's let's

00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:12.160
sort of let's keep going here um right so it's it's probably going to bounce

00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:17.359
back at least a little bit I hope it doesn't bounce back that much um I don't

00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:22.119
want Ubisoft to die Ubisoft has been a good company at some points in time I

00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:26.480
think they just need a like massive B slap to the face so they wake the hell

00:46:24.359 --> 00:46:29.520
up and stop being idiots yeah let's just bring back our keep on

00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:34.960
keep on digging lower third because we're still talking Ubisoft they're like half the show this week and it's not

00:46:33.040 --> 00:46:38.319
like we want to talk about Ubisoft I'd love for us to be I'd love for us to

00:46:36.839 --> 00:46:42.359
just be talking about what like what a great game Assassin's Creed Unity is and

00:46:40.200 --> 00:46:45.640
how stoked we are for Far Cry 4 I would love that to be the topic that is the

00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:50.280
conversation we love Black Flag was amazing and Far Cry 3 was really really

00:46:48.240 --> 00:46:54.359
good and you know know what incredible okay what news did they get over last

00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:57.280
week what news did they somehow get through I don't even remember something

00:46:56.079 --> 00:47:01.839
really big last week that I don't remember oh yeah yeah they pulled

00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:05.119
everything from uh from Steam yeah but no yeah but then it's it's back now

00:47:03.520 --> 00:47:08.760
there was other news though that was really big and we were like I can't

00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.920
believe you were even noticed like you made yourself no this was going on

00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:16.240
either way oh blon BlizzCon right BlizzCon was going on and people still

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:20.119
heard about what the hell Ubisoft was doing because they were bcon was such a

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:24.240
big deal this year bcon was huge and then now there was just the uh warland

00:47:22.520 --> 00:47:28.440
of dra or release and everyone's freaking out over U

00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:35.280
soft what how are you that

00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:36.640
bad I'm kind of tempted to pick again

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:40.880
really should I just not last time you got pretty I know last

00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:46.160
time was bad okay forget it I'm not going to I'm just going to repair my joystick and play more xwing um okay

00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.319
maybe wait till your kids are at like a minimum age so this was original

00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:54.559
articles here this was posted by I'm the wallus by the way the Ubisoft stock

00:47:52.040 --> 00:47:59.640
falling thing um original sources here were kit guru.net and finance. yahoo.com

00:47:57.640 --> 00:48:02.559
um but there were also some other things that were that were brought up by these

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:07.400
other articles um we might not even need a charger I think it's charg right yeah

00:48:05.040 --> 00:48:11.000
yeah just uh yay Luke will have a laptop thank you but um one of the other things

00:48:09.680 --> 00:48:15.160
that was pointed out was that things are not looking that great for Far Cry 4

00:48:13.319 --> 00:48:21.720
because some Publications didn't get review copies yeah so um yeah not

00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:26.200
necessarily a great sign and then and like with with stuff like that uh that

00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:31.480
polygon post like people are going to read that and that is going to be taken

00:48:30.040 --> 00:48:36.200
as a negative review if people are reading into it properly yeah I would

00:48:33.839 --> 00:48:41.200
yeah the fact that you for whatever reason are not enabling as many

00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:45.720
Publications as possible to get their hands on this game so that they can Rave

00:48:43.319 --> 00:48:51.160
about how great it is is a really really bad sign and I mean total biscuits

00:48:48.319 --> 00:48:55.839
comment I think is is awesome about the way that the Assassin's Creed Unity

00:48:53.160 --> 00:49:02.240
embargo was handled where the review embargo was not lifted until 12 hours

00:48:59.520 --> 00:49:06.680
after the game's retail availability which is given the way that games cannot

00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:12.559
be refunded anymore if you buy a physical copy or really any copy um is

00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:17.640
is really telling I mean that really says something about how they might have

00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:22.480
felt about how quickly they needed to cash in on the immediate launch sales

00:49:20.640 --> 00:49:27.000
before the reviews go up and people start maybe considering whether to wait

00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:33.920
for even Far Cry for or some other game to spend their money on

00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:35.319
um not not good not good I I would lose

00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:40.680
consumer confidence basically immediately if I had a Far Cry 4 uh

00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:45.359
pre-order which I don't but if I did have one I honestly probably would have

00:49:43.160 --> 00:49:49.559
canceled it once I read that polygon post cuz I'm I'm pretty skeptical

00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:53.839
already there's very few things that I'll pre-order I'll pre-order stuff like

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:56.880
uh Smash Bros for Wii U you would have normally pre-ordered Assassin's Creed

00:49:55.520 --> 00:50:02.480
actually yes I would have normally done that I have done that for every single other Assassin's Creed launch but this

00:49:59.720 --> 00:50:07.079
one yeah so anyway total biscuit came out and said he is not going to accept

00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:11.640
review copies of any game that has an embargo that is after the launch time of

00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:15.200
the game which is awesome which is awesome and uh and I think I think

00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:20.480
that's I think that's great I think that's a great way to handle it and it just I I actually responded to I think

00:50:18.839 --> 00:50:26.680
it was that tweet or one of the related ones just cuz I was so blown away that

00:50:23.839 --> 00:50:30.760
you could have a review embar after people are expected to drop their

00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:35.359
money for the game I mean no one in the hardware industry does that no one and

00:50:33.319 --> 00:50:40.760
you know what and and you know what John John TotalBiscuit has has actually

00:50:37.640 --> 00:50:43.400
tweeted me as well saying that he has no

00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:48.760
idea how we seem to kind of pull off this weird thing where our advertisers

00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:55.440
are Hardware companies and yet we criticize these companies openly on our

00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:57.400
shows and in our reviews and and some

00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:01.559
somehow we've managed to take money from these companies for advertising maintain

00:50:59.520 --> 00:51:05.520
the trust of our viewers and maintain the relationships with these companies

00:51:03.680 --> 00:51:09.359
and do it all at the same time and he was just like how does this even work I

00:51:07.640 --> 00:51:13.240
think it's because there's a much different mentality with like computer

00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:17.200
hardware companies and gaming companies canuter Hardware companies seem like

00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:23.040
infinitely humble and they'll take whatever you say and they're just like yes okay next time we do better and and

00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:27.000
that's not true of all of them but that's true of many of them they just

00:51:24.640 --> 00:51:31.559
seem to be so much more mature than these gaming companies like someone like

00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:36.079
Corsair if I come out and I slam them about something I'll get an email but

00:51:34.359 --> 00:51:39.200
they're not going to pull our funding they're not going to pull they're not

00:51:37.720 --> 00:51:44.319
going to refuse to work with us they're not going to stop seing us review samples because they value the

00:51:44.720 --> 00:51:52.760
input what a what a freaking concept right oh my God

00:51:49.640 --> 00:51:54.880
amazing not really with gaming in gaming

00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:58.520
they they they they tote their marketing muscles as as much as they possibly can

00:51:56.520 --> 00:52:02.520
try to silence anyone that they possibly can that would say anything negative

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:06.799
about them at all and then just try to slam games down your throat and then and

00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:13.480
it is a generalization pour the DLC water down not every gaming company is

00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:14.920
like this no praise G Ben um praise gin

00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:20.480
uh what is it super giant games does really well there's definitely developers and Publishers that are that

00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:24.480
are good and there's ones that mostly seem to try to do the right thing but

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:27.040
sometimes screw up and we have to understand and respect that too and

00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:32.920
that's fine people are human they make mistakes we make mistakes um but it just

00:52:30.040 --> 00:52:39.200
feels Ubisoft screw up looks feels like some like Cartoon Network like where

00:52:36.839 --> 00:52:43.599
they just keep falling forever it's like EA last year yeah where just every week

00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:47.400
there they were doing something horrendous they they fall down the hill

00:52:45.720 --> 00:52:51.200
and gather so much momentum because the hill is so large that they have enough

00:52:49.520 --> 00:52:57.520
momentum to climb up the next one and then fall down it over again like

00:52:54.240 --> 00:52:59.160
ridiculous stop screwing up hit a wall

00:52:57.520 --> 00:53:02.440
at some point and then just be like no we will be better we're going to shut up

00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:06.799
we're going to say nothing we're just going to make games that hopefully

00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:11.640
people want to play yeah if they stop talking and start working some more

00:53:08.799 --> 00:53:16.119
maybe they can fix some of their crap I am just I am I I got to say the whole

00:53:14.319 --> 00:53:20.720
thing with the the draw call issue in Assassin's Creed Unity is so believable

00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:26.760
yeah because their whole thing their whole defense of unity to Ryan from PC

00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:31.520
per was is we weren't going to dumb down the level the detail and the objects in

00:53:28.640 --> 00:53:38.160
the city it like and every object is a draw call yeah and and when uh when when

00:53:35.240 --> 00:53:45.319
Call of Duty like massively outclasses you in every possible appearance aspect

00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:46.920
that's bad you did something wrong I

00:53:45.319 --> 00:53:51.839
know like Assassin's Creed is supposed to be the like holy crap this game looks

00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:57.880
good I mean Advanced Warfare should have been taking all the headlines for crap

00:53:55.319 --> 00:54:03.880
and instead I mean everyone's like oh it's pretty good you know it's probably

00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:08.760
unfortunate that they didn't publish after Assassin's Creed in Far Cry 4 so

00:54:06.640 --> 00:54:13.280
they could have cuz I suspect a lot of people because you know how it's always

00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:17.240
whatsoever The Horizon you never look back at what was that thing I didn't buy

00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:20.599
it's always like okay well Far Cry 4 is coming next or this is coming next or

00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:25.680
whatever's coming next we coming get later I feel like if they had just kind

00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:29.200
of waited for all the people who didn't spend their money on all the stuff that

00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:34.400
came before them they could have gotten an even bigger payday probably I I doubt

00:54:32.040 --> 00:54:39.640
they needed I'm sure they did fine yeah yeah I'm sure they did totally fine but

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:41.240
it's just it's just like how did you get

00:54:39.640 --> 00:54:45.240
graphically outclassed whoa whoa Photoshop CS6 says lonus doesn't even

00:54:43.319 --> 00:54:47.760
play video games lonus doesn't game as much as he'd like to that doesn't mean

00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:51.440
lonus doesn't play video games he's starting to a lot more lately too yeah

00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:55.960
I've been finding a little bit more time for it especially on my shield yeah

00:54:53.400 --> 00:55:01.480
speaking of Shield um actually that leads us really well into not a Ubisoft

00:54:59.359 --> 00:55:08.720
topic y um and Vidia just announced that their

00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:13.400
grid streaming service and this was um this was posted by jper 10996 on the

00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:19.920
Forum and the original source is the NVIDIA blog um but grid is coming out of

00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:21.160
beta so grid has 20 titles right now

00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:28.520
including actually I'm just going to fire up the grid game list here but they've got a Arkham Asylum Arkham City

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:31.920
they've got Allan Wake uh American Nightmare they've got Darksiders

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:35.559
Darksiders 2 Dead Island Psychonauts which is a freaking awesome game by the

00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:38.119
way if you have a shield and you have an internet connection that's good enough

00:55:36.640 --> 00:55:42.960
for grid go play Psychonauts if you haven't already Saints R II Trine 2

00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:47.839
Witcher 2 Ultra Street Fighter 4 like there's some pretty great games on this

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:52.319
list what's the like payment plan stuff for this does it just come with a shield

00:55:49.720 --> 00:55:58.359
or okay so the beta's been free for anyone with a shield and the non data is

00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:03.640
free for anyone with a shield until June 2015 okay so you get about 6 months of

00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:08.520
free access to the game pretty good actually that's a lot more than a trial

00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:12.559
yes which considering the cost of something like a Shield tablet and and a

00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:17.440
controller when you are when you look at the Shield tablet as oh it's also a very

00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:20.920
competent 7in tablet um is actually a pretty darn compelling value yeah that

00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:26.240
feels a lot like the I'm trying to remember the name of it but those HP

00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:27.920
things yeah yeah yeah the um streams

00:56:26.240 --> 00:56:31.640
yeah where you get so much stuff with them yeah where you get not just value

00:56:30.160 --> 00:56:36.760
ad stuff that's like hey you got a 30-day trial of maca can I interest you

00:56:33.839 --> 00:56:40.359
in paying us it's not even value ad just like where there's real value ads that

00:56:38.520 --> 00:56:45.000
are relevant to the people who are using that device so so you get 6 months for

00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:49.280
free if you buy if you buy a shield now um they're recommending 10 megabits per

00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:54.440
second down and 60 millisecond second ping or less to your nearest grid server

00:56:52.520 --> 00:56:59.280
but they're expanding their grid server Network so there's already the one in

00:56:55.799 --> 00:57:02.839
California they've added one in Indiana

00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:04.200
and EU and Asia are soon to come so

00:57:02.839 --> 00:57:08.480
they're it looks like what they're building is and they're it looks like

00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:13.000
it's meant to be about like Netflix for games yeah now you can say what you will

00:57:11.319 --> 00:57:17.160
about the 60 millisecond additional latency that is not going to be

00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:21.319
palatable for certain types of games are you going to play CSO with an extra 60

00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:23.559
milliseconds of lag no no but you probably wouldn't have played that on a

00:57:22.359 --> 00:57:27.280
controller but are you going to play Darksiders sure sure why not probably

00:57:25.720 --> 00:57:32.119
that's probably fine cool yeah um all right they've also

00:57:30.359 --> 00:57:36.400
got other news The Shield tablet is getting Android 5.0 Lollipop in a few

00:57:34.160 --> 00:57:40.200
days yeah I they're going to be they're going to be I think I was on the phone

00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:43.799
with someone from NVIDIA today actually and he was saying I don't remember if he

00:57:41.839 --> 00:57:48.240
said they're going to be the first or one of the first uh one of the first

00:57:46.240 --> 00:57:51.799
advice makers whose name is not Google to have lollipop on their device I mean

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:58.359
NVIDIA committed back when they launched Shield portable to prompt Android update

00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:02.240
but come on we've heard that we've heard it over and over again how many prompt

00:58:00.520 --> 00:58:09.119
Android updates have you gotten for your Galaxy Device one per device is usually about

00:58:06.200 --> 00:58:13.720
the general rule yeah and then you might get an update but everyone else has been

00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:19.200
using it for six months nine months by the time you get it if at all um whereas

00:58:16.520 --> 00:58:24.359
NVIDIA's like on this yeah it's actually kind of absolutely fantastic if I do say

00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:27.359
so myself it's nice to see that especially when you're getting a device

00:58:26.200 --> 00:58:34.359
that like talking to people that aren't you

00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:38.200
about Shield is like often they don't really know what it is or they're like H

00:58:36.799 --> 00:58:42.559
is there really a lot of support for it like I don't really see anyone using it

00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:47.119
now I see it around a fair amount when looking at stuff like the r forum and

00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:50.799
like within the office and like these closed ecosystems but I got a message

00:58:49.359 --> 00:58:54.480
from someone either on the for or Twitter where they told me how the

00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:59.960
shield was kind of embarrassing to be out about with because people kept asking if it's a portable

00:58:57.520 --> 00:59:05.160
Xbox sorry go on but yeah just to illustrate the point but yeah like it's

00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:06.680
it's it's it's very new and it's very

00:59:05.160 --> 00:59:10.039
different so people are a little bit skeptical about it so I think it's

00:59:08.200 --> 00:59:13.039
actually really good for them that they're getting these like they're

00:59:11.319 --> 00:59:16.920
pushing the update thing really really hard and they're actually repeatedly

00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:20.880
getting these really early updates which is awesome because that's just going to

00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:23.680
increase um confidence that they are interesting products and they are

00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:29.079
they're really good would you buy an NVIDIA phone

00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:34.000
actually probably cuz I know you're not into the tablet thing so much not really

00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:38.119
and phones the only reason I'm not super into phones the only reason is because

00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:43.039
most of them are trash that's a strong statement it's

00:59:41.200 --> 00:59:47.079
true though like there's so like there's so many that have glaring issues that

00:59:45.319 --> 00:59:53.200
you like know someone must have figured out and then the Droid Turbo is just not

00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:54.799
coming to Canada at all in no form my

00:59:53.200 --> 00:59:58.920
brother tweeted them and asked and they were like no the droid turbo or

00:59:56.839 --> 01:00:03.240
variation Max are not coming to Canada officially from Motorola oh that's a

01:00:00.720 --> 01:00:09.799
bummer awesome what the hell the one phone that's like that's super cool nope

01:00:06.720 --> 01:00:11.599
god wow that's really sucky I mean it's

01:00:09.799 --> 01:00:16.640
not going to happen with Tegra K1 because Tegra K 1's power consumption is

01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:21.799
just straight up too high but if Tegra K2 or whatever they end up calling it

01:00:19.720 --> 01:00:25.400
came to a phone would you consider it I mean they're not that far away they've

01:00:23.160 --> 01:00:30.920
already got the the tablet 32 gig which has LTE and they did acquire that LTE

01:00:28.319 --> 01:00:35.559
radio technology maker not that long ago so they can build their own radios I I

01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:38.880
don't think it's that difficult to I don't think it's that difficult to I'd

01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:41.720
be really interested to I would check it out I'd want to check it out for sure

01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:47.240
definitely want to check it out uh if if they got the if they got the the battery

01:00:43.839 --> 01:00:49.720
capacity right and they had a not trash

01:00:47.240 --> 01:00:52.880
camera I would be definitely confident enough in the rest of the phone to be

01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:56.079
like all right let's do this NVIDIA is one of those companies where I think the

01:00:54.520 --> 01:01:00.880
camera could go one of two ways they could either have a bunch of Knowledge

01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:03.960
from cuz they know a lot about image processing yeah that's interesting it's

01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:09.079
not like they don't have experience when it comes to image filtering to make

01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:10.240
things look better this is NVIDIA's

01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:14.280
freaking wheelhouse but that doesn't necessarily

01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:18.000
mean they know that much about sensor technology so so I I don't know which

01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:23.039
way the camera would go and that's a huge part of any smartphone purchase um

01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:27.480
one thing of just to note is that right now the 32 gig version of The Shield

01:01:25.359 --> 01:01:32.400
tablet lvid is on fire with this announcement here comes with Portal

01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:36.319
halflife 2 and halflife 2 episode one holy crap Android versions if you jump

01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:39.760
up to that one in addition to the grid thing and those are all pretty good to

01:01:37.720 --> 01:01:43.880
play on that device as well actually especially portal Portal's really good I

01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:47.960
play portal on the shield portable yeah yeah um and shield portable is getting

01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:51.079
lollipop support but we don't have an ETA for that yet so I'll have to wait

01:01:49.680 --> 01:01:55.680
cuz I don't really use my Shield tablet much I mostly use my portable yeah all

01:01:53.680 --> 01:02:02.240
right other NVIDIA news this was posted by big STS on the Forum the original

01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:06.000
article is from techreport tocom the

01:02:02.240 --> 01:02:08.760
gtx960 has been found in an India Import

01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:17.640
and Export label or data or something the record States four GB of gddr5 a

01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:19.839
256-bit bus 993 MHz core and 68 MHz

01:02:17.640 --> 01:02:24.960
memory it's unclear whether that is a base or a boost clock speed and the

01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:29.279
price translates to around 256 US Dollars although we don't know if that

01:02:26.799 --> 01:02:34.039
will be a retail price or if that's like an NVIDIA to their board partner price

01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:38.039
or a board partner to retailer price or just an invented number or if they're

01:02:35.279 --> 01:02:41.039
going to flip it 18 times 3 days before it's out because they kind of do that

01:02:39.720 --> 01:02:45.400
sometimes because they do do that sometimes um the speculation on the

01:02:43.640 --> 01:02:51.559
internet right now is that this is going to be a GK 104 based card so actually

01:02:48.880 --> 01:02:58.960
the same chip as the 980 and 970 just like we saw with the 680 670 and 660

01:02:56.559 --> 01:03:03.960
Ti um we should probably do our sponsor spots actually so we're going to start

01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:09.440
with the one that I hopefully label yay Phantom glass so phandom glass we love

01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:13.720
these guys uh for any of the viewers who have watched before you know what the

01:03:11.839 --> 01:03:17.760
sales pitch for Phantom glass doesn't really change so I do find myself

01:03:15.680 --> 01:03:22.599
repeating myself a fair bit but it doesn't need to change because it's good

01:03:20.359 --> 01:03:27.319
enough as it is the only reason that we started working with these guys was that

01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:31.680
and it's just kind of a funny story The only reason I reviewed the product at

01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:35.880
all was because the guy was Canadian because normally screen protectors I

01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:40.319
don't we've only done two screen protector videos in the entire time lus

01:03:38.319 --> 01:03:46.680
techtips has existed and they've both been like very oddly Innovative yes some

01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:48.559
kind of real actual important thing that

01:03:46.680 --> 01:03:52.480
happened with them so the only reason I would even listen to him was he was

01:03:50.160 --> 01:03:55.160
Canadian and then the only reason I wanted to review unit was because I I

01:03:54.319 --> 01:04:01.359
was like okay if this does what you say it

01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:02.640
does I will like it but if it doesn't do

01:04:01.359 --> 01:04:08.920
what you say it does then I'm going to throw it in the garbage and never talk about it again and he was like okay okay

01:04:06.200 --> 01:04:11.880
okay send over the review unit and then the reason that we're doing advertising

01:04:10.359 --> 01:04:15.880
with them is because it's freaking awesome basically it's a sheet of

01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:21.319
Gorilla Glass 3 that sits over top of the existing pain of Glass on your phone

01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:24.480
so if you already liked any kind of the

01:04:21.319 --> 01:04:26.480
you know the the glare Clarity um touch

01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:30.920
feel characteristics of your phone screen it will be exactly the same it

01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:37.520
does add a little bit of thickness to the front of the phone but it's still compatible with other third party cases

01:04:34.680 --> 01:04:42.559
and it has this like Nano coating on the bottom of it that actually works like it

01:04:40.279 --> 01:04:45.520
actually does what they say it does it's I think you'd have to work pretty hard

01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:50.000
to try to get a bubble under Phantom glass and if you apply it wrong you can

01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:55.200
just pull it up reapply it I've actually done it and it goes on perfectly second

01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:58.920
time around so pretty cool I mean if it's given that it's kind of expensive

01:04:57.359 --> 01:05:03.400
it's nice to be able to reuse it because I actually had to RMA my HTC 1 M8 so I

01:05:01.640 --> 01:05:06.760
had to pull my Fass off yeah you peeled it yeah so I put it in some Saran Wrap

01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:11.440
to keep it safe cuz I don't really have the original packaging anymore and uh

01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:16.039
there you go my One M8 is actually back as of yesterday and uh before we move

01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:19.279
into our next sponsor spot just wanted to share my experience with that so I

01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:25.359
was a little disappointed with HTC because the first custo I my one8 camera

01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:29.200
lens cracked on my rear camera cracked and so rather than work through my HTC

01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:33.079
rep I decided you know what just for fun I'm going to go have the regular

01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:37.279
customer defective product experience because it just cracked out of the blue

01:05:35.319 --> 01:05:41.079
there wasn't a single Mark anywhere on the entire phone other than a cracked

01:05:39.240 --> 01:05:46.920
rear camera screen so I would have had to I would have had to literally take

01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:50.319
like drop it on like a very point of a rock but then catch it before it

01:05:48.240 --> 01:05:54.079
actually hits the ground yeah or like take a chisel and like whack it or

01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:59.119
something in order to crack that thing so it in my mind this is not something

01:05:56.880 --> 01:06:06.000
that could have been feasibly broken by accident and I see it as a design like

01:06:02.160 --> 01:06:08.279
probably the one design flaw in that

01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:13.359
phone that I really dislike is that they used a plastic cover on it there's

01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:16.520
actual Flex to it okay maybe not actually it might not be plastic okay I

01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:20.440
shouldn't say plastic maybe it's some kind of composite or glass or whatever

01:06:18.200 --> 01:06:24.079
else but it's got some real Flex to it once it was broken and it has a coating

01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:26.520
on it that scratches off very easily just taking it in and out of your pocket

01:06:25.279 --> 01:06:32.640
and gives you blurry photos until you rub it off with toothpaste this is a documented problem so I talked to their

01:06:29.680 --> 01:06:37.520
customer service and they basically the first person I talked to said seem to be

01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:41.880
aware of the issue and said yeah that should be no problem to to for it to be

01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:46.160
covered under warranty but they asked me to call my carrier to ask if they'll

01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:49.559
deal with the RMA for me because I'm in Canada and that's the normal procedure I

01:06:48.279 --> 01:06:53.319
kind of went yeah sure okay so I called my carrier they didn't deal with it because I didn't buy the device from

01:06:52.240 --> 01:06:57.480
them I knew that was going to happen but I jumped through the hoop just to humor

01:06:55.640 --> 01:07:01.200
them so I called back and they told me they couldn't guarantee anything about

01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:05.240
the repair and then it turned out that they did want to charge me over $100 for

01:07:03.160 --> 01:07:10.160
the repair even though and the repair center was not willing to Advocate to

01:07:08.160 --> 01:07:16.000
HTC on my behalf or anything like that I basically said you guys are experts you

01:07:12.799 --> 01:07:17.880
look at phones every day is it even

01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:20.559
possible is it even conceivable in any way that I could have damaged the phone

01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:24.760
in this way at all or does this seem like the

01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:30.720
kind of cuz it just cracked out of the blue and they just went you have to talk

01:07:28.200 --> 01:07:33.880
to HTC so I didn't pay the money I ended up just going through my HTC contact

01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:40.880
telling them I was being jerked around and they got it taken care of within like an hour cuz that's normally the way

01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:46.760
that that I get treated but I was I was disappointed in the way that an actual

01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:48.319
customer um would would be treated in

01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:52.920
that case yeah that's kind of that's kind of sad the problem the problem too

01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:56.440
though is that like I get it physical damage is generally not not covered

01:07:54.319 --> 01:08:01.480
under warranty yeah but if it's a known issue it generally is so it's a matter

01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:05.079
of whether they're acknowledging the issue or not the internet knows about

01:08:03.279 --> 01:08:10.160
the issue I don't know if the internet knows about a cracking issue but the

01:08:07.839 --> 01:08:13.880
problem is that my my rear camera was scratched already before it even cracked

01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:18.560
so I should have been eligible for a replacement had i r made it sooner and

01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:22.640
it had not cracked on its own anyway so that's why I was so upset so I get it I

01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:28.759
understand I'm just a little bit disappointed I've had to deal with very

01:08:25.080 --> 01:08:31.319
few like very few uh customer service

01:08:28.759 --> 01:08:37.319
for like ship out and repair stuff uh one of them was uh an Xbox 360 which was

01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:41.600
hilarious um and that was actually super easy right because they were all red

01:08:39.679 --> 01:08:45.600
ringing so I'm sure their whole Factory was just like in- and out in- and out

01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:50.239
in- and out in- and out um because it was just a swap and then the other one

01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:55.920
was uh evj when I was doing my mineral oil computer and that was like the best

01:08:54.000 --> 01:09:00.759
on the phone experience with someone who is supposed to help me in any form Ever

01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:05.000
right yeah EVGA is kind of Legend always liked them because of that their their

01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:08.759
customer service was fantastic all right so let's move on to speaking of

01:09:06.679 --> 01:09:15.640
fantastic customer service and super easy to use squarespace.com oh yeah with

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:16.920
their 247 support and their well

01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:22.040
basically it's just a great service we love Squarespace we love those guys and

01:09:19.040 --> 01:09:25.279
they are on fire L lately they recently

01:09:22.040 --> 01:09:28.480
introduced Squarespace 7 and it's a huge

01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:30.600
upgrade over the previous iteration so

01:09:28.480 --> 01:09:34.560
they've redesigned the interface they've got integration with Google Apps which

01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:38.279
is really cool for any businesses that use Google apps like say for example the

01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:43.679
one that you're looking at right now we use can I help you oops we use Gmail for

01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:47.440
uh for our internal email and all that kind of stuff um they've got their new

01:09:45.719 --> 01:09:51.759
partnership with Getty Images so that you can have greatl looking images to

01:09:49.759 --> 01:09:56.000
match your greatl looking site you know the the funny thing about Squarespace is

01:09:53.520 --> 01:10:00.000
it feels like some of the stuff they do is more selfish than anything else it

01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:04.159
feels like okay so the partnership with Getty Images is basically you can get

01:10:02.120 --> 01:10:09.120
very reasonably priced beautiful images to put on your site but it seems like

01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:12.640
they're just a bunch of Geeks care about websites looking really great yeah and

01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:19.520
they're then they don't want to see people take their beautiful template and put some crap image on it so it's like

01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:24.239
it's it's almost like and I'm not saying selfish in that it's not beneficial to

01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:28.719
the user I'm just saying it seems like like they just kind of are like oh they

01:10:26.440 --> 01:10:32.560
like don't screw their stuff in bad ways yeah take good images we really love our

01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:36.719
product and we wish you wouldn't like make it ugly than it has to be so we're

01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:40.600
going to get you guys this like great less expensive gy images thing and you

01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:45.120
can get that get go get good images don't pay much for them um they've got

01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:49.960
new templates they've got cover pages and

01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:52.600
um yeah I guess that's isn't isn't that

01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:55.560
it right yes um also I wanted to just cover the usual talking point so if you

01:10:54.000 --> 01:11:01.679
guys don't know what Squarespace is it's a fast easy affordable way to build your

01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:03.760

only $8 a month and you get a free domain for your trouble if you sign up

01:11:05.360 --> 01:11:11.080
for Squarespace for a year they've got responsive design so basically that

means your website scales to look great on any device and they've got integrated

01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:18.080
Commerce now that was actually one of the previous things that they rolled out

01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:22.760
that is pretty freaking cool so if you want to build a store on Squarespace

store or blog or restaurant

01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:44.840
or someone I don't know maybe you want to make a website dedicated to pictures

01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:49.280
of your junk wow I don't

01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:51.280
um preferably not please don't but you

01:11:49.280 --> 01:11:57.000
could yeah you could it's technically possible it's possible um some someone

01:11:54.120 --> 01:12:00.360
in the twitch yeah quite literally uh someone in the twitch chat was like

01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:05.120
please tell Squarespace to fix their documentation for developers it's really

01:12:02.120 --> 01:12:07.120
bad I've looked at it what are you

01:12:05.120 --> 01:12:09.840
talking about for one and for two I'm sure you can just contact them I've had

01:12:08.480 --> 01:12:15.560
to contact them about stuff before they've responded very well and very quickly so if you're having a problem

01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:17.920
with something which I'm not sure what you're doing because I've looked at

01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:21.600
actually a fair amount of their documentation for developers it was all

01:12:20.040 --> 01:12:25.679
fine from what I've seen maybe there's something that isn't I don't know but

01:12:23.080 --> 01:12:30.679
just them and it should be fine so this is the best way I think YouTube could

01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:37.239
have possibly done this they have implemented YouTube music key and this

01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:39.199
is the first subscription based YouTube

01:12:37.239 --> 01:12:44.440
service that we're seeing and I think they did it absolutely brilliantly so it

01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:47.560
was posted by Raph banan on the Forum and the original article is from

01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:51.159
official Android. blogspot.com and basically it's going

01:12:49.639 --> 01:12:56.239
out of beta so it's not like it didn't exist already it's a monthly

01:12:52.760 --> 01:13:00.040
subscription service for $9.99 a month

01:12:56.239 --> 01:13:02.400
but it is $7.99 a month right now which

01:13:00.040 --> 01:13:06.840
happens to be exactly the same price as a Google Play music subscription so if

01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:12.080
you sign up now if you happen to be a Google Play music subscriber already yo

01:13:10.000 --> 01:13:17.520
then you can just sign up for this you get a full Google play music account for

01:13:15.679 --> 01:13:22.679
exactly the same price if you sign up during the promo and then you also get

01:13:19.400 --> 01:13:24.239
ad free music background play on music

01:13:22.679 --> 01:13:30.080
which is pretty nice if you like to listen to music on YouTube and offline

01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:31.960
viewing of Music on YouTube it's invite

01:13:30.080 --> 01:13:37.679
only right now and those who get an invite get to try it out free for 6

01:13:34.040 --> 01:13:40.560
months if I can get this for $7.99 I'm

01:13:37.679 --> 01:13:43.840
sold done because I and even if I can get it for $9.99 you know what I will

01:13:42.280 --> 01:13:47.719
probably buy it that's actually pretty sick I really

01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:52.400
like the background play thing yep background play and to be able to listen

01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:56.600
to playlists on Monster cat for example and not have the ads interrupt your

01:13:53.960 --> 01:13:59.120
groove that would be really nice I I think they knocked it out of the

01:13:57.639 --> 01:14:04.120
freaking park with the way that they implemented this that's actually really cool music was the one to go after first

01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:07.239
and the way that they did it enabling it to be the same price as a streaming

01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:11.560
service that they already offer that's already great I love Google play music

01:14:09.040 --> 01:14:15.280
especially the curated playlists it's awesome Google play music is more for me

01:14:13.639 --> 01:14:18.679
than just I feel like I'm doing another sponsor integration but it really is

01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:22.800
amazing I'm just a paying customer it's just nothing special but the the way

01:14:21.080 --> 01:14:27.560
that they that they manage it it's more than just just not pirating music is it

01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:31.679
the same sorry I might not have heard that part is it the same thing as if you

01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:35.440
have the Google music that you have right now is it the same do you get this

01:14:33.639 --> 01:14:38.960
yeah yeah okay so they're together oh wait no no no no no no this is this is

01:14:37.360 --> 01:14:42.840
going to be a a more expensive subscription but would okay but it will

01:14:41.040 --> 01:14:46.400
also that one include that oneic yes and then for a promotional

01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:50.920
period of time you can get it at the same price okay so you should buy this

01:14:48.280 --> 01:14:55.760
one yeah yeah um but like I mean it's more than just not pirating music and

01:14:53.360 --> 01:15:00.800
and saving money versus going and buying albums it's it's for me it's all about

01:14:58.199 --> 01:15:04.719
the curated playlists um where I can it'll be like hey it's Tuesday afternoon

01:15:02.639 --> 01:15:08.679
do you want to listen to like you know pickme up music or do you want to listen

01:15:06.440 --> 01:15:13.320
to like Mello music and the I'm feeling lucky radio is is awesome and does a

01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:20.679
really really great job interesting uh Sharp's latest iGo

01:15:17.360 --> 01:15:23.280
prototype sets the stage for 4K faets as

01:15:20.679 --> 01:15:27.320
if it matters uh the oral say like sounds surprisingly excited for this

01:15:25.120 --> 01:15:32.480
what's happening obscure mammal posted on the Forum the original article is

01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:37.639
from techreport tocom and they have they

01:15:32.480 --> 01:15:41.239
have made a prototype 2560 x600 4.1 in

01:15:37.639 --> 01:15:44.400
panel oh jeez that is some incredible

01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:48.400
pixel density so we're talking

01:15:44.400 --> 01:15:51.840
736 pixels per inch that is massively

01:15:48.400 --> 01:15:55.040
more than the Galaxy Notes 515 pixels

01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:57.719
per inch the Google NEX 6 is 493 pixels

01:15:55.040 --> 01:16:05.800
per inch and Apple's iPhone 6 Plus is 401 pixels per inch which quite frankly

01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:07.600
is already enough I should point out

01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:15.000
that the Droid Turbo has I really like the display but

01:16:12.480 --> 01:16:19.800
the issue is that I don't know if it's related to the fact that it's AMOLED and

01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:25.320
I'm really enjoying the Deep blacks or if it's related to that it's 2560 by

01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:27.040
1440 yeah because on the G3 I didn't

01:16:25.320 --> 01:16:31.880
feel like there was a benefit to the higher density display but the contrast

01:16:29.639 --> 01:16:35.920
wasn't very good yeah it was icky and contrast is more important once you

01:16:34.040 --> 01:16:41.239
reach a certain point than you know I was really surprised at um Marcus MKBHD

01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:44.920
he did a a collaborative thing with the Verge like ultimate smartphone like

01:16:43.080 --> 01:16:48.120
dream smartphone like well I would take this one and then I would change this

01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:51.880
and I would squeeze this and I would do this and it would have a bigger battery and all that kind of stuff and I was

01:16:50.360 --> 01:16:59.600
really surprised he picked the screen from the G3 for his dream smartphone

01:16:56.080 --> 01:17:01.600
yeah he's wrong oh well that's one way

01:16:59.600 --> 01:17:08.520
of putting it I would have said I would have said to each his own but just

01:17:05.040 --> 01:17:12.080
no what so the latest iGo prototype will

01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:14.120
have 11.5 micrometer pixels that will

01:17:12.080 --> 01:17:19.600
likely be impossible to see with the naked eye um when okay when when was

01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:24.320
that article done which one was that uh was that done before like Note 4 came

01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:30.639
out and stuff no no it just went up two days

01:17:26.080 --> 01:17:32.520
ago okay I don't get it um okay so one

01:17:30.639 --> 01:17:37.440
one okay so so that's really cool that we won't be able to see the pixels but

01:17:34.000 --> 01:17:39.639
one potential drawback is that higher

01:17:37.440 --> 01:17:43.639
density displays typically require more power to achieve the same brightness

01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:47.880
because as you pack in more Electronics do hickory in order to actually get

01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:52.760
light through it to your eyes you have to have a brighter backlight now Apple

01:17:50.360 --> 01:17:57.560
seemed to figure out how to address this on their 5K iMac um and that thing is so

01:17:56.199 --> 01:18:01.960
bright and they've achieved the same brightness they say I don't have a last gen one but they've achieved what they

01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:07.239
say is the same brightness as their last gen one which is ridiculous I have it on

01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:10.840
like 10% at all times I don't understand

01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:12.800
why it needs to go that bright but um

01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:17.000
just in case you need like a random Spotlight yeah I mean honestly I guess

01:18:15.320 --> 01:18:21.040
here all I have to say about this uh mass production will reportedly begin in

01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:25.440
2016 so all I have to say about this is by 2016 battery

01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:30.080
technology better have caught up in some meaningful way and I still don't care

01:18:28.080 --> 01:18:34.639
because I would still rather have a 1080P or if you have to have a higher

01:18:32.920 --> 01:18:40.159
spec to make your competitor look stupid a 1440p panel that gives me better

01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:41.560
battery life um on my device right and

01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:45.719
better performance in and better performance at Native resolution in

01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:50.440
games and other applications like I don't want to necessarily have a 4K

01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:54.080
display on something that gives me no benefit and tanks my battery life and

01:18:52.560 --> 01:18:58.360
means I'm I'm going to have to run interpolated resolutions in order to get

01:18:56.120 --> 01:19:01.639
decent performance in in in mobile games I don't play a ton of mobile games but

01:19:00.120 --> 01:19:07.800
I'm it's more of a I'm speaking on behalf of what you guys should be thinking if you do play mobile games

01:19:05.360 --> 01:19:16.520
yeah there you go ah rumors

01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:19.600
r9390x Fiji XT this is posted by Paragon

01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:23.480
X on the Forum and this thing looks

01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:26.920
banana hammers May feature

01:19:23.480 --> 01:19:30.800
4,096 stream processor so 64 compute and

01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:34.639
256 texture units with a

01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:37.400
4,096 bit memory

01:19:34.639 --> 01:19:44.080
bus oh my God this is due to the fact that AMD is rumored to be using a

01:19:40.480 --> 01:19:46.159
completely new technology for the memory

01:19:44.080 --> 01:19:50.920
on this particular card the more traditional way is we've got the chips

01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:54.239
laid out on the card and then we've got contact points on the bottom of the GPU

01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:59.320
that lead out to them so that's why it was so costly to implement wider memory

01:19:57.320 --> 01:20:03.880
buses that's why we saw memory buses continue to increase on graphics cards

01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:10.000
until we reached 512 bit and everyone kind of went whoa hold on a second this

01:20:07.400 --> 01:20:13.600
is really expensive now in terms of the area that we need for the package in

01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:17.679
terms of the contact pins that we need to create on the bottom of the of the

01:20:15.280 --> 01:20:21.320
chip itself and in terms of the PCB design we need to lay out all those

01:20:19.400 --> 01:20:27.920
traces to all those memory chips this sucks so NVIDIA just bailed and they

01:20:24.440 --> 01:20:29.400
stopped at 384-bit and amds actually I

01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:36.840
don't think NVIDIA has ever done a 512 bit GPU was 480 512 bit that was the only

01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:43.560
one I could think of cuz 480 was an interesting card let's

01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:49.840
see 512 bit or was it no I don't think it

01:20:46.400 --> 01:20:52.719
was 285 was the

01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:56.520
285 okay anyway I if NVIDIA ever had when they bailed and they started doing

01:20:54.199 --> 01:21:01.480
384-bit for their high-end cards and then now we even have a 256-bit GTX 980

01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:08.920
which is passing for DDR3 okay so that was GTX 285 um so so

01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:11.400
it got really expensive but in it's in a

01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:16.280
similar so an analogous technology to what Samsung is now doing on their 850

01:21:13.679 --> 01:21:21.400
Pro SSD where they're not using the latest super tiny manufacturing process

01:21:19.360 --> 01:21:25.840
and instead of trying to go wider with the design of their chips actually

01:21:23.280 --> 01:21:31.400
stacking them on each other so it looks like this technology is going to enable

01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:33.520
AMD to deliver massive massive memory

01:21:31.400 --> 01:21:41.840
bandwidth we're talking like a 1024-bit interface per chip um without hopefully

01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:46.679
a huge significantly much bigger incremental cost um One Challenge is

01:21:45.040 --> 01:21:53.280
that right now we're going to be limited to 4 gig configurations because uh this

01:21:50.360 --> 01:21:59.040
is this is a highx technology K highx technology and it's only the first

01:21:55.239 --> 01:22:00.679
generation but um yeah we could be

01:21:59.040 --> 01:22:05.239
looking at bandwidth for the memory bandwidth for the graphics card in the

01:22:02.120 --> 01:22:09.719
640 Gigabyte per second range that's

01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:11.520
nuts that is redonkulous I I I very

01:22:09.719 --> 01:22:15.800
reportedly am not a huge fan of just rumor mill

01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:20.679
stuff you very specifically hope this one comes through that would be really

01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:27.040
exciting to see this card I wouldn't be surprised I mean it's uh makes sense the

01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:28.960
the problem that I have with rumors is

01:22:27.040 --> 01:22:32.840
if you've been around for a long time it would be really easy to fabricate a lot

01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:37.320
of them yeah that's true CU you could be like these things would make sense rumor

01:22:35.040 --> 01:22:41.080
printed and a lot of the times I even wonder if people are just like yeah this

01:22:39.400 --> 01:22:44.800
is probably what it's going to be and just rumor drop and then they're like oh

01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:48.719
yeah look it was accurate because usually it's going to be accurate cuz

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:52.239
you can look at things like road maps like if you know SK hinx says okay we're

01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:55.960
going to be sampling it here we're going to be going into mass production here

01:22:54.159 --> 01:23:00.080
and then you look at fairly credible rumors like when the 390x is rumored to

01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:04.520
launch and you go well gee why would they be Mass producing it if not for X

01:23:03.360 --> 01:23:09.159
yeah you know a lot of the time you can kind of guess yeah speaking of exciting

01:23:07.120 --> 01:23:15.600
memory technology uh this was also posted by big stuns on the form original

01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:20.000
article is from tweak Town SanDisk

01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:23.080
releases memory mounted ssds these fit

01:23:20.000 --> 01:23:27.239
in DDR3 memory slots and they're ailable

01:23:23.080 --> 01:23:31.159
in up to 400 gab capacities so either

01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:34.719
200 or 400 GB oh crap I need to set this

01:23:31.159 --> 01:23:36.840
reminder for myself for uh for later

01:23:34.719 --> 01:23:40.080
otherwise I will not remember oh good I I already have a reminder for five

01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:46.360
minutes before it happens hooray yay back to the dock um yeah so 2 400

01:23:43.280 --> 01:23:49.400
Gigabyte capacities and basically you'll

01:23:46.360 --> 01:23:53.040
just slot ssds into memory

01:23:49.400 --> 01:23:54.800
slots what I mean this is not a consumer

01:23:53.040 --> 01:24:00.080
oriented technology you're not going to be putting this on your z97 Deluxe or

01:23:58.440 --> 01:24:05.080
whatever this is this is more for servers but what it does is it removes

01:24:02.639 --> 01:24:11.360
complexity components and cabling from server designs if you had a server where

01:24:08.719 --> 01:24:14.520
you didn't actually need a ton of memory but you did need a lot of storage but

01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:20.880
you wanted to be compact this could make a ton of sense and you need like crazy

01:24:17.800 --> 01:24:23.320
fast storage mhm yeah maybe not a lot CU

01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:29.280
these are actually very high drives well hold on a second 400 GB per drive on

01:24:26.280 --> 01:24:31.000
something like a 16 dim

01:24:29.280 --> 01:24:34.679
motherboard cost yeah it's expensive I didn't say it

01:24:33.400 --> 01:24:40.360
wasn't expensive and it's not even going to help that much in terms of space

01:24:37.400 --> 01:24:45.119
really like it's yeah it's largely going to be for

01:24:42.199 --> 01:24:48.119
Speed okay well it offers 880 megabytes per second of sequential read speed and

01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:53.239
600 megabytes per second sequential rights but the big one here is actually

01:24:51.320 --> 01:24:59.760
the warranty so it's support it's got a 5year warranty at 10 full disc RS per

01:24:57.719 --> 01:25:05.000
day so the application for this looks like it's more like caching and less

01:25:02.719 --> 01:25:09.679
like mass storage which makes a ton of sense so you could build extremely

01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:13.719
compact racks that are just designed to cash data and they can actually do full

01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:19.600
fleshes of the entire for so we're talking four terabytes per day per drive

01:25:17.600 --> 01:25:24.000
in this cache server that has all these drives in it and is Lightning Fast Very

01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:27.920
responsive and has extremely low complexity and very small size

01:25:25.719 --> 01:25:32.199
incredible technology I mean I would have said and for a stor for because

01:25:30.679 --> 01:25:35.239
databases will need a lot of RAM but servers that aren't going to need a ton

01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:40.760
of RAM which there's definitely some of them if you want to cash some of your drives and you can fill those slots with

01:25:38.239 --> 01:25:44.000
these that would be sick because again the reducing complexity thing not having

01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:48.119
those extra cables and stuff that's super super nice and to be clear they're

01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:51.199
nonvolatile storage so they're not like memory and that as soon as the system

01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:54.159
power's off the data is gone so they're they're just ssds they just just go in a

01:25:52.639 --> 01:25:57.360
dim slot that that's freaking cool I want to see one is there a picture in

01:25:55.679 --> 01:26:01.800
here yeah I think so it's just my screen sharing is not working so I'll check it

01:25:59.520 --> 01:26:07.119
out later a BMW is developing street lights that can also charge your

01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:09.280
electric car now the whole idea of

01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:14.480
having roadside stations or parking stalls with electric Chargers in them

01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:18.360
was kind of like yeah okay I guess we

01:26:14.480 --> 01:26:21.520
slow this idea wow this is gamechanging

01:26:18.360 --> 01:26:23.159
because the okay the idea is not to that

01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:27.800
you would have to replace all the street lamps in your entire city the idea is

01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:33.760
that you would be able to retrofit your existing Street lamps with chargers and

01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:36.000
be able to monetize it brilliant What

01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:39.119
city doesn't sign up for that they get to go Greener they get to have an

01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:43.840
additional new Revenue stream in the longer term they can monetize things and

01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:48.040
and I mean you'll see this I think we're going to see this in obviously more

01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:52.520
densely populated urban areas first but all of a sudden the whole parking thing

01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:56.760
maybe you can have like like you know a bundle thing where you buy your parking

01:26:54.480 --> 01:27:00.800
for that spot and that also includes zapping your car for the time that

01:26:58.360 --> 01:27:04.119
you're there and ends up making a ton of sense for electric electric vehicle

01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:07.600
owners I think it's awesome yeah that's actually really cool um I don't think

01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:12.239
Tesla has commented on it yet at least not at the time that we were working on

01:27:09.239 --> 01:27:14.280
the dock but I would imagine Tesla and

01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:18.639
musk would be very supportive of a technology like this down yeah anything

01:27:16.400 --> 01:27:23.159
that expands the the infrastructure for electric vehicles is going to make a big

01:27:20.800 --> 01:27:28.719
difference to people who are considering buying one the only thing I can imagine

01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:31.840
musk being against is if he looks into

01:27:28.719 --> 01:27:34.360
it and realizes that it's like I'm

01:27:31.840 --> 01:27:39.520
completely hypothetical right so realizes isn't a fact I'm just saying

01:27:37.080 --> 01:27:44.000
like if this happened uh realizes that it's crap like if he comes up with

01:27:41.400 --> 01:27:48.040
something we didn't think of it's bad because of this reason or he tries it

01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:51.679
and it's bad because he observed this thing or whatever that's the only real

01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:55.159
reason why I could see him being against it cuz he a definite advocate for trying

01:27:53.719 --> 01:28:00.159
to get more of that kind of stuff out there and if he can suddenly utilize all

01:27:58.080 --> 01:28:03.320
of these things in that ever growing map that he's trying to do yeah which is you

01:28:01.600 --> 01:28:07.639
can travel here to here to here to here if he can suddenly just go there's all

01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:12.679
these spots now filled up of course we're going to keep putting superchargers y because those are going

01:28:10.400 --> 01:28:17.280
to be the super fast ones but this will massively expand your network I'm sure

01:28:14.159 --> 01:28:19.440
he'd be down for that yeah I I'm I'm I'm

01:28:17.280 --> 01:28:23.560
super excited for for the whole for the future of that I think this makes a

01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:27.280
whole lot more sense than uh than solar powered roadways in terms of how much

01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:31.119
thought appears to have been put into it you know so any I don't think I don't

01:28:29.400 --> 01:28:34.800
think musk doesn't seem like the kind of guy who gets all butt hurt because you

01:28:33.400 --> 01:28:39.520
know someone else came up with a good idea I think if it's a good idea he has

01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:46.119
no problem going Head to Head Tesla's EVS versus BMW's EVS he'll just try to

01:28:43.040 --> 01:28:47.719
do a better thing I I I think that's uh

01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:50.600
I think this I think this will happen this is the most sensible idea I've

01:28:49.400 --> 01:28:56.119
heard yet for how this could be implemented and I'm really excited for

01:28:52.639 --> 01:28:59.040
it yeah all right speaking of of bad

01:28:56.119 --> 01:29:05.040
ideas Google did a fishing survey not this kind of fishing P pH fishing which

01:29:02.159 --> 01:29:09.800
is a method of attack that actually gets you to give up your

01:29:06.520 --> 01:29:12.040
information voluntarily Yeah Yeah by by

01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:16.119
tricking the user similar to social engineering and you know how you know

01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:21.080
you and I have conversations where we we'll get a particularly stupid spam

01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:25.639
email or fishing email and we'll laugh it to each other trying to go really

01:29:22.800 --> 01:29:30.239
could anyone fall for this yes I used to work in tech support places they do

01:29:27.880 --> 01:29:37.440
Google's fishing survey revealed that 14% of people submit information to

01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:39.119
hackers wow Google and UCSD looked at

01:29:37.440 --> 01:29:44.159
100 fishing emails picked out of a random sample self-reported by Gmail

01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:48.480
users the researchers also reviewed a random sample of 100 fishing websites

01:29:46.639 --> 01:29:52.360
caught by Google's safe browsing system to further understand how the scams work

01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:56.520
these websites were all created through Google forms which is how researchers

01:29:54.199 --> 01:30:00.480
were even able to access the data and even the worst performing fishing

01:29:58.679 --> 01:30:05.560
websites like think about some of the ones you've seen where it's just like

01:30:02.800 --> 01:30:09.800
obviously not a real website full of typos like you click on any navigation

01:30:08.199 --> 01:30:13.679
on the site and it doesn't go anywhere it just leads to a broken page like

01:30:11.360 --> 01:30:20.840
we've all seen them even on the worst performing 3% of users still submitted

01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:22.639
their data on the most effective sites

01:30:20.840 --> 01:30:30.159
as many as40 5% submitted their dat I wonder if this

01:30:26.719 --> 01:30:31.719
data took account for faked stuff

01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:37.119
probably not

01:30:33.679 --> 01:30:39.520
but I would speculate that most people

01:30:37.119 --> 01:30:46.040
aren't going to go to the trouble of even because okay the techsavvy

01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:48.159
user unless they're one of those super

01:30:46.040 --> 01:30:52.560
techsavvy users who runs you know a virtual machine on their computer solely

01:30:50.400 --> 01:30:56.679
for the purpose of opening up you know potentially malicious stuff you know

01:30:54.719 --> 01:31:01.480
unless you're one of those I would I would venture that most moderately power

01:30:59.320 --> 01:31:05.040
users are just not going to click it yeah yeah because you don't even want to

01:31:02.920 --> 01:31:08.440
go to that site that's bad you just don't even want to go there I used to

01:31:07.080 --> 01:31:12.040
okay when I used to work at certain shops uh depending on where it was

01:31:10.639 --> 01:31:18.480
situated so like depending on the demographics of the area around me um I

01:31:15.080 --> 01:31:21.880
could get from like one a week to maybe

01:31:18.480 --> 01:31:25.080
two a month um so like 0. five a week

01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:26.840
people coming in like oh I had this is

01:31:25.080 --> 01:31:32.280
even worse this is just phone calls someone called me from Microsoft and

01:31:29.360 --> 01:31:35.239
said that my computer was sending them messages saying that it was having

01:31:33.760 --> 01:31:41.360
problems and they need me to go on my computer and type all this stuff and

01:31:36.920 --> 01:31:42.960
then I'm like oh yeah you screwed up

01:31:41.360 --> 01:31:47.040
it's such an awkward situation like how do I get my money back I'm like you

01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:53.320
don't you don't like it's gone so according to

01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:58.159
Google's resear search here um hackers spend an average of 3 minutes figuring

01:31:55.719 --> 01:32:00.800
out how much an account is worth once they have access and will apparently

01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:05.679
move on if the account doesn't seem valuable enough so there you go the

01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:11.159
solution is to either avoid fishing websites entirely not give them your

01:32:07.639 --> 01:32:13.960
data or not have any money yeah yeah oh

01:32:11.159 --> 01:32:17.320
but then you okay you still need to not be a doofus because the hacker then

01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:21.560
tries to get money from your account's contact list so you can be compromising

01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:28.159
your friends and family members right yeah being dumb speaking of being dumb

01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:29.320
gizmodo.com article about this website I

01:32:28.159 --> 01:32:35.080
can't remember what it's called right now but this is just terrible so creepy

01:32:33.080 --> 01:32:40.600
website um insam claims to feature feeds from IP

01:32:38.320 --> 01:32:46.199
cameras all over the world including 11,000 in the us alone and uh Gizmodo

01:32:44.440 --> 01:32:52.480
browsed some of the feeds finding people's living rooms um parking lots

01:32:49.639 --> 01:32:57.000
porches and even bedrooms in these feeds and the site says that the way that they

01:32:54.280 --> 01:33:03.159
did this was by exploiting people who haven't changed the default username and

01:32:59.320 --> 01:33:03.159
password on their IP

01:33:03.679 --> 01:33:09.280
camera um that's creepy I don't even

01:33:07.440 --> 01:33:13.880
know if I should be saying this on stream but it's fairly widely known and

01:33:12.280 --> 01:33:18.520
spreading the knowledge that exists might help get it fixed um there's

01:33:16.400 --> 01:33:24.159
certain Google Search terms you can use to find uh open IP cameras

01:33:22.320 --> 01:33:31.920
and you can get straight up into their control panels to the point where you can move them around like it's crazy I

01:33:28.960 --> 01:33:35.360
was doing like a presentation in high school talking about like internet

01:33:33.440 --> 01:33:39.040
security stuff this was a long time ago and I did a live demonstration from the

01:33:37.080 --> 01:33:44.719
class and like moved the camera around and everything and it's like yep it's

01:33:41.800 --> 01:33:48.000
really bad I mean it baffles me that more things don't require you to change

01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:53.159
the password the first time that you log into them because anyone can be lazy

01:33:51.280 --> 01:33:57.280
even someone who knows better can be lazy but maybe you're just spamming next

01:33:55.880 --> 01:34:03.440
and you don't notice that one of them was whatever really important yeah H

01:34:01.320 --> 01:34:07.520
anyway Assassin's Creed Creator launches new studio the original article is from

01:34:05.239 --> 01:34:12.040
gamespot.com so following his reported firing from Ubisoft last year the

01:34:09.560 --> 01:34:17.119
Assassin's Creed Creator uh has opened a new studio in Montreal called panach

01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:20.080
digital games Pan's other co-founder another former Ubisoft veteran who was

01:34:19.040 --> 01:34:25.760
fired in 2013 uh or yeah sorry pacha's other

01:34:23.679 --> 01:34:30.960
co-founder um was another Ubisoft veteran so in June 2013 he sued Ubisoft

01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:34.920
for 400,000 and the rights to purchase 1666 which he was working on at THQ

01:34:33.239 --> 01:34:40.360
Montreal before its collapse cool interesting hopefully he

01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:43.440
does good things yeah well based on how good Assassin's Creed is with his

01:34:41.960 --> 01:34:48.679
involvement and how rubbish it apparently is without his involvement oh

01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:51.119
I guess we need to uh okay so just just

01:34:48.679 --> 01:34:55.360
just a I'm I I have to I have to kind of pitch this to you guys again because

01:34:53.119 --> 01:34:58.719
Nick will give me a hard time if I don't uh but the keep on digging shirt

01:34:56.719 --> 01:35:02.440
apparently has already sold like 40 shirts oh that's awesome because you

01:35:00.400 --> 01:35:07.960
guys are pretty into repping the keep on the keep on digging so we have yet

01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:14.360
another Ubisoft topic it's just a short one uh cuz they just can't stop can they

01:35:11.440 --> 01:35:20.400
so check it out it's over on oh no this one oh yeah I

01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:24.719
know okay brain's going to bleed before we're

01:35:23.040 --> 01:35:30.119
done this uh hold on I'm just trying to I'm

01:35:27.400 --> 01:35:33.960
just trying to post our uh our link here I don't know if that link is going to

01:35:31.679 --> 01:35:39.320
work hey look at that it works so if you guys want one of these shirts check it

01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:43.360
out I'mma spam my chat

01:35:39.320 --> 01:35:45.639
boom Nick's like here's one link I will

01:35:43.360 --> 01:35:50.880
do things the way that isn't obnoxious good job Nick and like says

01:35:48.360 --> 01:35:53.239
what it's for and stuff you're just like B

01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:57.719
no dog and it's funny because of the stream delay right yeah so just out of

01:35:55.000 --> 01:36:03.119
nowhere just huge amounts of nothing all right so Ubisoft patches

01:36:00.280 --> 01:36:08.639
microtransactions before frame rate issues so this is this is a post that

01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:14.800
has actually been pulled down already let's just go ahead and uh and pull this

01:36:10.679 --> 01:36:17.239
up here so this is on imer um there we

01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:22.040
go a patch has been deployed and the issues with purchasing and receiving

01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:24.000
Helix credits is now fixed on PS4 We are

01:36:22.040 --> 01:36:31.719
continuing to work to solve the issue on PC and Xbox One 214 thumbs up from the

01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:37.280
24 members of the Assassin's Creed team that were told to thumbs up that post

01:36:34.159 --> 01:36:39.159
pretty much yeah

01:36:37.280 --> 01:36:44.840
unbelievable I just want to make sure it's pulled down when was this supposed

01:36:40.719 --> 01:36:44.840
to oh it just says 14 minutes that's not

01:36:45.280 --> 01:36:52.400
helpful yeah W the rest of their Facebook is just we are aware of the

01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:58.480
issues we are working on it yeah that's already November 11th so I

01:36:54.239 --> 01:37:01.080
think we're we're done yeah wow yep it's

01:36:58.480 --> 01:37:06.480
gone that post is gone they don't want us to they don't want us to talk about

01:37:02.719 --> 01:37:08.280
that nope all right recked I think we

01:37:06.480 --> 01:37:15.639
got not much El not much else Apple's chip suppliers are apparently gearing

01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:17.119
Up Get It gearing up that's a different

01:37:15.639 --> 01:37:20.840
company for mass production of the Apple watch I know it's a it's a competing

01:37:19.199 --> 01:37:23.199
product that's true that works I think it's funny

01:37:23.400 --> 01:37:29.679
I think it would have better or is my humor wearing on you oh there we go

01:37:27.639 --> 01:37:34.679
except that's still a different company I know you got to like it's got to be

01:37:31.960 --> 01:37:39.920
within the Apple ecosystem no it doesn't it does uh chip orders are estimated to

01:37:37.239 --> 01:37:44.360
be around 30 to 40 million units for a debut in early 2015 stainless steel and

01:37:42.520 --> 01:37:49.159
gold editions will reportedly retail for prices starting at

01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:54.599
$54,000 respectively uh the the Lenovo S90 is

01:37:52.599 --> 01:38:00.719
the most ridiculous phone I think I've ever seen speaking of patent trolling um

01:37:58.040 --> 01:38:06.199
oh no if anyone was going to if Apple was going to go after anyone about

01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:09.639
anything this oh right my screen sharing

01:38:06.199 --> 01:38:11.840
isn't working right bloody balls right

01:38:09.639 --> 01:38:18.679
uh this should have been this should have been it because this is absolutely

01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:26.400
brutal here we go on the left the iPhone 6 on the right

01:38:23.560 --> 01:38:32.840
the Lenovo S90 wow on the bottom the iPhone 6 no way on

01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:35.840
the top the Lenovo S90 they even copied the promotional

01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:42.560
images I mean the antenna band is the

01:38:39.880 --> 01:38:49.000
same wow wait are those different those are

01:38:45.840 --> 01:38:49.000
different oh

01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:56.920
no that's it's not good isn't that horrible apparently this

01:38:54.920 --> 01:39:03.360
phone is not going to be available in all regions and I'm guessing this has to

01:38:59.280 --> 01:39:05.040
do with that Lenovo knows they have no

01:39:03.360 --> 01:39:10.239
ground to stand on if they brought this thing to the US there would be a sales

01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:13.639
embargo like that that's uh it looks

01:39:10.239 --> 01:39:15.679
like it's a China only China only design

01:39:13.639 --> 01:39:19.080
not surprising this posted by Shadow captain on the Forum though I tweeted

01:39:16.920 --> 01:39:22.000
this out earlier this week rather I posted it on Facebook cuz I thought that

01:39:20.560 --> 01:39:29.159
was hilarious like just embarrassingly

01:39:25.119 --> 01:39:30.520
blatant copy that's funny all right so I

01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:36.280
think that's pretty much it there's only one other thing that I wanted to call out um we did a couple live streams if

01:39:34.599 --> 01:39:39.599
you guys are interested in programming so becoming a coder we actually did a

01:39:38.360 --> 01:39:43.920
number of live streams they were sponsored by modus the same guys that we

01:39:41.679 --> 01:39:47.440
partnered with for Geek Stakes uh earlier this year where they gave away a

01:39:45.400 --> 01:39:51.080
bunch of really cool stuff they're a they're a Placement Firm for coders so

01:39:49.520 --> 01:39:55.000
basically they work with companies that need coders and coders who need

01:39:52.560 --> 01:40:00.679
placements andies connect them wow um not as

01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:04.199
aggressively as that they're like pretty nice about it they're a little bit more

01:40:02.320 --> 01:40:07.760
considerate of each other's needs yeah so anyway they sponsored a series of

01:40:06.119 --> 01:40:12.360
interviews where we took some folks from code school which is um a video a video

01:40:10.920 --> 01:40:17.679
tutorial online uh online site where you can

01:40:15.159 --> 01:40:21.119
learn coding in a fun and engaging way and they had a few of those folks come

01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:26.080
and interview with us about sort of how to how to become a coder and of

01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:27.760
particular interest is number two um

01:40:26.080 --> 01:40:30.360
that one was really excellent especially if you know any females who are thinking

01:40:29.119 --> 01:40:34.280
about programming because she talked a little bit about what it's like as a

01:40:32.440 --> 01:40:36.840
female learning to program and being involved in the developer Community I

01:40:35.719 --> 01:40:43.280
thought that was really uh I thought that was really really cool and actually our third our third interviewee was um

01:40:41.360 --> 01:40:47.880
was really cool as well because a lot of what we talked to him about was not

01:40:45.960 --> 01:40:52.280
sitting in front of your computer you know Finding inspiration for your

01:40:49.840 --> 01:40:56.920
programming projects in the real world by being a real person and doing real

01:40:54.320 --> 01:41:01.360
things especially stuff um like apps or if you want to build a if you want to

01:40:58.599 --> 01:41:04.920
build a program which is going to solve someone's real world problem you

01:41:03.320 --> 01:41:10.520
probably need to get off your butt and go figure out what that problem is cuz

01:41:07.080 --> 01:41:14.520
we see a lot of uh we see a lot of a lot

01:41:10.520 --> 01:41:17.880
of solutions that are to problems nobody

01:41:14.520 --> 01:41:19.320
has yeah yeah yeah which is great if you

01:41:17.880 --> 01:41:22.880
like have a different job and you're just soling your own

01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:26.719
solutions that other people might not have that's awesome that's a really good

01:41:25.320 --> 01:41:29.920
way to program and actually most programmers that I know just do that

01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:36.639
because they'll have other jobs and they'll program their own solutions to stuff um but if you want to like make

01:41:34.080 --> 01:41:39.679
your job doing stuff like apps for phones you probably need to figure out

01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:44.080
stuff to go do huh look at this okay well we've got

01:41:42.119 --> 01:41:48.480
