1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,639
all right well that took a lot longer to get going than I was hoping we're having

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:10,200
some internet difficulties over here uh

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,600
the funny thing about it is that we've actually got two isps here one of which

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:22,800
is our fiber connection and the other of which is our um our cable connection and

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,359
the cable connection we were having an issue with those guys where they they

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,160
actually turned us off for about a month because we were going over our bandwidth

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,120
allotment and they were supposed to turn us off for a weekend yeah it was

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:40,920
supposed to be for a weekend and then they just didn't so whatever that's cool

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,960
I guess and then the fiber connection uh is just not sending any UDP packets

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:52,440
right now so it's TCP only which means

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:54,600
like very little Skype yeah not not a

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,039
whole lot we can do on that one so we're we're like trying to find a solution

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,760
here oh right right right so when our cable provider turned the internet back

14
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:08,600
back on the issue that we had with them is that they haven't put us in bridge

15
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,560
mode so it's our our modems acting as a

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:15,920
router but then it's not because our switch here isn't working and the

17
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:21,840
wireless on it isn't on and I have no idea what the username and password is

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,680
to log into it and then like I was like okay well maybe they maybe it's in

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:31,280
bridge mode now so I plugged in a router and then whatever so long story short

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,560
we're live now thank you guys for tuning in to the W show we've got a bunch of

21
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,640
great topics for you today I hope I have actually done very little of my usual

22
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,159
due diligence so Luke will be in charge of making sure that the show isn't a

23
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:49,960
total waste of everyone's time best part about that is that I did very little of

24
00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:53,040
my usual due diligence in our defense he

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,040
was sick this

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,520
week

27
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:02,280
I it's a holiday yeah it's a holiday

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,479
today it's a stat neither of us are getting paid for this yeah I shouldn't

29
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:09,039
be here at all so nope bam there you go

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:13,720
uh what Wi-Fi oh right right justifications we have to tether we have

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:19,480
to tether to get Wii can't you just you should just be able to yeah should have

32
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,160
would have could have not working yeah

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:27,440
it's like why is life so difficult I just want to make it really clear that

34
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,160
it is not the fault of our sponsor ASUS

35
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,480
that our network is not working laptops are fine the laptops are good in fact

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,879
our review of this particular laptop is coming out very soon and I think you

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,840
guys will be quite impressed with the performance that we were able to get out

38
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,760
of a portable device um but in the meantime we're just

39
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:53,120
going to have to actually do a show for you here guys so I am waiting for the

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,360
document to load up so that I can there it

41
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:03,239
goes so that I can tell you what we're going to talk about um so the NSA has

42
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:08,720
reportedly been using a heart bleed for

43
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:10,360
years shock and awe um yeah we could be

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:16,599
looking at 10g Wi-Fi which is pretty darn impressive

45
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,200
so quantenna has announced an eight stream configuration that could be

46
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,760
capable of some absolutely crazy throughput and could be coming as soon

47
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:29,040
as 2015 uh what else we got Intel is

48
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:35,120
apparently losing billions on tablets and smart phones so that's worrisome

49
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:39,040
yeah or not I'm actually going to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate on that

50
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:44,120
topic later and NVIDIA has released their most epic lineup of new graphics

51
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:47,840
cards ever more on that later on in the show super performan

52
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,360
super intro they probably have speed holes

53
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,120
there is no sound in this intro none I will kill him that is two weeks in a

54
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,799
row I don't know the music

55
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,040
but we'll sing along anyways I had to do this last week too this is terrible look

56
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,799
lineus Tech tips there's a there's a thing there oh hey Squarespace there's a

57
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,920
thing there too so guys Squarespace is the fast easy and convenient and

58
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:21,680
inexpensive way to set up your own beautiful web oh and there's more

59
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,880
sponsors ASUS Rog so the g750 JZ is

60
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,400
actually our presenting sponsor for this week's episode of The W show it is this

61
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,440
notebook right here the funny thing to me about this sponsorship is that this

62
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:35,080
isn't really the way I would recommend using this particular notebook this is

63
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,400
this isn't really what it's for we're going to talk a little bit more about

64
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:45,360
what it's for in the upcoming review um and also later on when I do my sponsor

65
00:04:42,039 --> 00:04:46,919
spot forus here because it's really good

66
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:53,840
at certain stuff in fact I think you were pretty surprised we been and I don't know how

67
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,639
much are we are we talking about the video like what we did in the video I

68
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:00,520
don't know that's like I almost just said it and then I was like wait I don't

69
00:04:59,039 --> 00:05:05,880
know why why don't we talk about the video later okay okay oh we have a guest

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,560
today we haven't actually had a guest in a while so it'll be Jerry Barnacles Berg

71
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:16,440
will be joining us in a little while here we're going to call him on um the

72
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:21,759
telephone but first why don't we go through one of our topics here so oh my

73
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:21,759
goodness I don't have my

74
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,800
uh HDMI look guys it's a

75
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,080
holiday I should be off today yeah he

76
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,680
should be off today yeah what we're doing is illegal is it

77
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:42,000
I'm not sure I'm not paying you it's a holiday we could argue that no I think

78
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,639
it's technically slavery even if it's of your own valtion that you're here no

79
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,280
matter and Canada I don't know if that's the same everywhere else well I I

80
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:53,440
legitimately told him not to come in today and that it was fine and I would

81
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,800
do the show by myself I didn't want to miss two weeks in a row and he knows I'm

82
00:05:55,479 --> 00:06:03,800
not capable of doing it by myself he knows that I would have had to have uh

83
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:08,199
jonfer here joner join me I can never remember I was going to say does his

84
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,000
name change every time well I can I can

85
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:13,720
never remember what I call him we could just call him Slender Man if you want

86
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:19,840
that's that's yeah he honestly looks like Slender Man Okay so jonfer here um

87
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:25,000
I I I think he fig Luke figured that J my shirt on I can't even get it off he's

88
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,240
gunning for your shirt and your job I I like I tried for a little while and was

89
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:31,759
like I'm either going to break him or I'm going to leave the shirt on and if

90
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:35,880
Luke didn't join me on the show I was going to have to have a co-host so that

91
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:40,440
was going to be pretty uncomfortable for uh you know Mr soon to be unemployed

92
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:45,720
over there so there you there you go right um have I even managed to

93
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:50,520
introduce our topics for today you did some of them did I do some of them yep

00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,280
oh fantastic you started to did I start to oh no I did the whole thing I even

95
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,199
did the intro already I know we did the intro already I just didn't know if you

96
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,400
did all I didn't know if you actually did four topics the best part is that

97
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:04,440
you did different topics than I announced in the in the YouTube

98
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:09,360
announcement which know what they were oh is it up we should see if it's up

99
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,360
public so it should be up in theory it's up but who knows yeah it's up all right

100
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,759
cool and there's like 2,000 people watching thank you guys for tuning in on

Good Friday hi everyone did you just say bye everyone said hi everyone Hi

102
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:27,199
everyone that's good you know what it's funny we are both wearing other than

103
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,759
lonus Tech tip shirts the most appropriate possible shirts today yeah

104
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,639
cuz we're streaming on Twitch and our sponsor for today's show is Squarespace

105
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,360
you know why I'm actually wearing this shirt and it's a really good thing

106
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,440
because it's comfy isn't it people think that more on that more on that in a

107
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:49,120
moment people think that I plan out my like sponsor segments like really well

108
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,960
and I'm some kind of a professional but

109
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:56,599
like well you're technically a professional today could have just as easily been a Dollar Shave Club

110
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,599
integration and like I didn't shave you

111
00:07:56,599 --> 00:08:02,080
know did I but today it happened to be a

112
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:08,479
Squarespace integration and I happened to wear this for pajamas last night and

113
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,479
I haven't actually changed

114
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,919
yet so yes I'm wearing

115
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,319
holidays I'm wearing it because it's comfortable and and I'm still wearing it

116
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:26,240
because it's still comfortable and doesn't quite smell bad enough yet nice

117
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:31,240
nice that's always a good benefit that is what it is all about my friend I'm

118
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,680
trying to get the twitch chat so I can see them but then it was like I'm not

119
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:41,440
going to load anything CU you don't have flash player installed and I'm like you can technically still load the chat and

120
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,560
it didn't so that sucked Max Key frame

121
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:49,000
interval is currently at 4 seconds please set it to two

122
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,880
seconds thank you maybe we should do an

123
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,600
actual topic let's do one topic and then let's bring on Jerry right so this was

124
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:00,959
originally posted on the Forum by top war gamer I'm going to go ahead and hope

125
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,920
that my screen sharing is working here

126
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:10,360
oh okay I have some something playing in the background here I have no oh oh it's

127
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:14,320
a yeah there we go oh turn off the twitch stream because you're on my phone

128
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:18,040
I paused it did you I just wanted this all right good enough okay because I was

129
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:22,519
worried about the phone I will settle for that um okay so posted by top war

130
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,519
gamer Microsoft wait what this isn't the right topic is

131
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:30,120
it what the what the broken

132
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:34,800
link what oh why did it open over there you guys

133
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:39,240
can see this right I just opened a new tab I opened a new tab in this Internet

134
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Explorer man like what's your problem okay why are you using Internet Explorer

135
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:49,480
because you have no reason I want to give Microsoft a chance to impress me

136
00:09:47,079 --> 00:09:55,480
they have ads about how Internet Explorer is not that bad anymore is that

137
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:59,399
actually their thing I think I think they did something like that like it's

138
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:05,519
or like like the campaign was like it's better than I expected or something like

139
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,720
that um I I don't it's so bad you know I

140
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:12,240
found one use for it okay so hold on hold on guys watch this watch this I'mma

141
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,560
click this thing and it opens up a tab

142
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,680
like over here not not at the end not at the end not right beside what he's doing

143
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,360
beside it but like here is that because it's categorizing

144
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:29,600
them no CU there's because there's Tech tips tab here yeah like I could there is

145
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:31,480
no justifiable reason for it to do that

146
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,920
anyway so top war gamer posted it the original article is from The Verge I'm

147
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:43,079
just going to go ahead and put this back and that is that the heart bleed exploit

148
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,279
has been in use by the NSA for years

149
00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:50,920
what's up oh we got we got we got okay okay I

150
00:10:47,959 --> 00:10:54,760
think our Our Guest today Barac is gonna have something to say about how great

151
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:59,000
Internet Explorer is he's he's filling our document with propaganda about how

152
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:03,760
Internet Explorer is good so anyway Bloomberg reports that the hartle bug

153
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:09,399
has been known and exploited by the NSA for at least two wait two

154
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:13,519
weeks I think that's a typo I thought that was supposed to be two years yeah I

155
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,399
think it was I think it was two years let's go let's go ahead and uh let's go

156
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,040
ahead and double check that do you want to go through the rest of be wrong but

157
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,240
yeah uh so according to Anonymous sources the bug was Kept Secret in the

158
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:28,680
interest of National Security good job guys we hate you um the agency was used

159
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,839
using it to obtain passwords and other data um it gave them access to two3 of the

160
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:39,040
web servers that are out there right now um the NSA has denied the allegations

161
00:11:37,079 --> 00:11:43,200
but honestly who believes any of the crap they say lately anyways so who the

162
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:47,320
hell knows the White House has also denied the allegations which good for

163
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:54,200
you also no one is really listening to you either so yeah so there you go uh

164
00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:58,639
and yes two years not two weeks that was a that was a typo in the old uh the old

165
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:03,360
dock there all right so let's bring on jar to uh to go ahead and try to justify

166
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,680
the existence of Internet Explorer to us here have we just done this topic

167
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:13,600
already we're just done that topic we're the the the topic is thank you NSA we

168
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:15,560
appreciate your business all right and

169
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:20,000
thank you Barnacles we appreciate your business as well tell us how fantastic

170
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Internet Explorer is Internet Explorer is pretty fantastic guys that's why I'm

171
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:25,000
using Chrome right

172
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:32,800
now are you wearing a Microsoft shirt by any chance what's that are you wearing a

173
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:36,880
Microsoft shirt by any chance no I'm not no this is been an epic sponsor combo no

174
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:40,959
I probably have a Microsoft cup around here somewhere though I got this twitch

175
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,839
shirt by fanboying out at their booth at PA Prime like they didn't even know who

176
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,600
I was they just gave me a shirt cuz I took a picture really yeah nice I was

177
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:53,040
like I stream my new thing all the time but whatever I love your I love your

178
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,079
shirt Barnacles just saying oh thank You Adventure Time Is Awesome it's always an

179
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,600
adventure you know people say it's a stoner show

180
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:06,959
but do you agree with that it is it absolutely is because

181
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,480
every time I watch it I'm like I I don't understand anything like at all what's

182
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:14,880
going on I'm just like man if I was high it understand it we can watch it not

183
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,839
stoned but that doesn't mean that it's not catering to St people because I

184
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:26,240
guarantee you you're not understanding what's going on though are

185
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:28,560
you actually I I okay maybe maybe I'm

186
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,040
maybe I'm just I can generally follow it to

187
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:36,399
yeah maybe I'm just an idiot but I can mostly maybe it's because we're not

188
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:36,399
stoned maybe yeah maybe that's the

189
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:43,560
problem what came first I'm not saying anything what came first the Stoners not

190
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,120
understanding the show or the show becoming incomprehensible to

191
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,680
stoners it's like wait a second yeah

192
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:59,240
hold on you guys are breaking up a little bit sorry about that let me think about that must be my awesome Al Gore

193
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,639
internet yeah you know how it is I oh our internet is like pretty pretty

194
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:08,120
fantastic over here too so yeah we're using a phone yeah we're using a phone

195
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,279
for our laptops hello

196
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Internet all right so why don't we get into actually this is going to be a

197
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,959
great topic to talk to you about um because it's it's one of the more

198
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,759
cryptic things that I think I've seen out of Microsoft in the last little

199
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:27,079
while here is our stream still called PAX East Sunday recap what the hell

200
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:31,040
that's probably why hey can you can you guys call me back really quick screwed

201
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,759
up a Skype really bad it's like I can't it just sounds like it's all

202
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,759
jumbled that's

203
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:45,279
terrible oh all the

204
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:45,279
terrible oh I hate this

205
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:53,360
show I hate this show wait what's going

206
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:55,160
on here there we go okay okay uh here do

207
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,560
you want to talk to him okay so in the meantime I'm going to change our stream

208
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:05,480
name and then bring up our next top iPic here so what was I what was I what was I

209
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:12,480
oh right the WAN Show so Fridays at

210
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:14,240
1630 Pacific yeah okay so let's go ahead

211
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,079
and update that I swear I did that earlier so this is one of the weirder

212
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:24,199
things that we've seen out of Microsoft in the last little while here can I just

213
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,839
uh I just oh hello hello do this hold on

214
00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:29,639
let's let's bring you back there there we go so I'm just gonna I'm going to

215
00:15:28,199 --> 00:15:34,040
screen share with myself here this is posted on the Forum by Good Bites

216
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:38,800
Microsoft has revealed a quote unquote hidden feature in the Windows 8.1 update

217
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:43,279
one which will allow the system to be installed on a system which will allow

218
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:49,959
the OS to be installed on a system with a 16 gig SSD and still have free space

219
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:52,399
for your programs reports bit tech.net

220
00:15:49,959 --> 00:15:58,279
so allegedly the way that they're achieving this is by instead of having

221
00:15:55,639 --> 00:16:02,000
some parts of the OS compressed and some un compressed it's an uncompressed and

222
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,319
compressed yeah sorry sorry instead of having the whole OS uncompressed they're

223
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,959
leaving the the super critical parts uncompressed and then they're actually

224
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:15,120
having a bunch of it still be compressed with a pointer file that shows it where

225
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:20,600
to go now there are some limitations so you are not allowed to install it on a

226
00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:26,440
spinning drive for example you must be running a UEFI based PC running in UEFI

227
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:30,399
mode you let's hold on a second drive only additional oh additional Drive that

228
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:35,759
are installed can be mechanical so it's just the boot drive and it applies to

229
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:39,079
client editions of Windows 8.1 there are also some backup antivirus and

230
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:48,279
encryption tools that aren't compatible with wiim boot images um they claim that

231
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,800
there won't be a performance

232
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:53,839
Delta how uh there's probably there's probably going to be a little bit of a

233
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,079
performance hit I mean there' have to be anytime compressions involved there's

234
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:01,920
going to be a little bit of a hit but it'll probably be negligible really so if it's negligible

235
00:17:00,199 --> 00:17:06,880
like this is a legitimate question if it's negligible why do we bother on

236
00:17:04,439 --> 00:17:11,280
compressing anything in the first place because sometimes negligible

237
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,799
pisses people off like Benchmark junkies and people that are like really into

238
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:17,400
benchmarking stuff like that you know if if you're if you want to squeeze every

239
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,439
ounce of power out of your computer you don't want you don't want anything like bringing it down that's why people are

240
00:17:20,199 --> 00:17:25,160
like so hardcore about overclocking their gpus and stuff like that I mean

241
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,799
for the average user yeah I don't see the problem with it I think everybody should compress it and to be honest ntf

242
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:34,520
F has supported that forever you can actually go into your NTS volume and enable compression across the whole

243
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,919
volume and reclaim a ton of disc space but how often do you hear of people

244
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:42,120
using that feature you just really don't have you spent any time with that

245
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:47,960
feature to see what kind of a performance impact we're looking at uh

246
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,760
on the NTFS compression yes on the wiim

247
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,720
boot stuff no I haven't done any any testing on it okay so NTFS compression

248
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:59,360
like like what are we dealing with because I mean there's two ways of looking at this so sand Force SSD is

249
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,960
aside the ones that are already compressing the data you're writing to

250
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:06,360
them and then uncompressing them on the fly but if you take a drive that

251
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,760
performs really really well without Hardware compression so something like

252
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:15,600
um an Intel 730 series or something like an 840 Pro could we be looking at a

253
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,120
whole new world of performance if you have the CPU resources such that the

254
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,159
compression and uncompression isn't going to slow anything down and you are

255
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:28,840
effectively making better use of the speed of your drive oh absolutely no no

256
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:34,400
you're absolutely right I mean if the physical data is compressed and you don't have to move as much physical data

257
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,559
between the actual bus from the drive to the CPU for instance then the CPU is

258
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:42,640
your limiting factor because it's basically decompressing the data there and since compression most of the old

259
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:46,240
Legacy compression algorithms are really really fast now like they used to kill

260
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:50,080
the old CPUs but like the light compression the NTFS uses and stuff like

261
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,240
that i' I'd be really surprised if you saw a huge IO performance hit the

262
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:58,840
biggest problem with compression that I see is that depending on the type of data that you're compressing the

263
00:18:55,919 --> 00:19:01,280
performance can vary so so you know if if you're do if you're heavily

264
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:06,039
compressing things like text and stuff like that the decompression and compression algorithm used to compress

265
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,480
that data it can the performance can change it's on it's on a little bit of a

266
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,440
curve so compressing 100 megabytes of one type of data versus compressing and

267
00:19:11,159 --> 00:19:16,840
decompressing 100 megabytes of a different type of data depending on the data and how compressible it is that's

268
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:20,799
going to affect performance so you don't really get a linear performance it's

269
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:24,600
more of all over the place right this ties into what you were talking about

270
00:19:22,159 --> 00:19:27,360
where you referenced that it's only the really important stuff that's compressed

271
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:31,720
it's the whole thing it's just Windows updates and stuff after that isn't put

272
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:34,840
in the wiim boot section right right and even though it's compressed it's it's

273
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:38,240
it's like it's still all in the whim file it's just part the files partially

274
00:19:37,159 --> 00:19:43,400
compressed which I guess is kind of a New Concept because I've never heard of anything else being partially compressed

275
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,360
usually a file is compressed or it's not right so it's it's it's a little bit

276
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,760
weird to see the partial compression but the idea of being able to reclaim so

277
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:53,520
much of that space on a device where it comes at a premium you know where you

278
00:19:52,039 --> 00:20:01,159
have you know solid state media on a tablet or a phone I mean that's a big deal right but then I mean

279
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:06,520
okay so something like a tablet then I wonder how much you're going to give up

280
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:09,679
in terms of processing in terms of uh in

281
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,799
terms of processing resources to battery

282
00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:16,240
then so if you're that was very poorly phrased but the point is if you are if

283
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:20,360
you're using your CPU more as opposed to your storage more right are you going to

284
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,200
be giving up some battery life anytime you're doing something IO intensive then

285
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,720
you know that that's an interesting question because you're actually saving some battery life by not having to

286
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:35,200
access the med is frequently and you're kind of trading it off for the CPU but

287
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,559
the yeah CPU generally I think you would

288
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,919
take a little bit of a battery hit on it but it also depends there's other factors in there like caching right I'm

289
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,400
sure that if they're using compression on those fil they're also aggressively

290
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,440
caching things in and out of memory and if they're doing aggressive caching and

291
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:51,440
things like that especially on system level files they're not going to be loading them very often they're going to

292
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,320
be loading them once caching them and then pulling from memory so the decompression is going to be happening

293
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,480
every single time you access every one of these files I'm sure they're being very smart about which files

294
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,559
need to be loaded once and access thousands of times versus files that do

295
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:08,159
literally have to be loaded each and every time due to their D Dynamic nature

296
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:12,400
or something like that right but yeah as far as battery life I again I'm G to say

297
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:17,039
probably going to be negligible because compression algorithms aren't going to be that se they're not it's not going to

298
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,840
be super high compression and it's not going to be high compression and encryption which usually it's the

299
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,640
encryption side of compression that really really kills it so I I don't

300
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,200
think you're really going to see a huge impact but as far as no impact no it's

301
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,679
anytime anytime you're doing compression you're going to have some kind of an impact on the CPU's performance the

302
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,919
partial compression thing is weird throughout reading the entire article I I didn't actually see anything about

303
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:41,679
that I just saw that there was the recovery partition that stays compressed and then all updates and future stuff

304
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,960
after that goes in the completely uncompressed Windows partition so that's

305
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,760
I'm going to have to read more about that that's interesting yeah no I I like

306
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:54,159
and I like the idea of how they're masking it at the file system level too I mean to to the user the file system is

307
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,799
going to look exactly the same you're not you're not going to notice any difference the filter driver will take

308
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,640
care of it all magically behind the scenes um but as far as needing to update

309
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,640
things into the whim that's a little bit interesting because of course you're not just reading things out of the whim I'd

310
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,200
imagine the whim needs to be updated at some point also no they're saying that I

311
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:16,919
I read on the on Microsoft's actual documentation that updates go into the

312
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,799
Windows predition not into whim oh okay so so the whim stays the base image no

313
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:25,480
matter what yeah that's why I'm saying I didn't I didn't read anything about partial compression because they have

314
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,400
the compressed what used to be recovery

315
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,919
uh image which is now your whim image and then that never changes and any

316
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:34,679
updates or service packs or whatever the heck you get after that go in your

317
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:37,240
Windows partition uncompressed and the wiim partition never changes never gets

318
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,159
touched so you can still use it as recovery later on down the line no that that makes that makes a hell of a lot of

319
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,760
sense actually because that also prevents you from ever causing any fragmentation on the file so they can

320
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
literally optimize how those files are laid out in that whim to make them as

321
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,279
quickly as accessible as possible so which is kind of awesome and like you

322
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:56,520
can if you're trying to do it on like an Enterprise level or whatever you can

323
00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:00,600
inject things into it on your own so you can inject updates and stuff into win

324
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:05,240
before you deploy it yeah but once it's deployed all updates and everything from

325
00:23:02,679 --> 00:23:08,720
that point onward will then go into your uncompressed Windows predition no that's

326
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:14,679
actually that's really cool I'm sure this is also going to have like a high impact on VM deployments and stuff like

327
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,799
that I I like the idea of just having a whim and just basically just deploying

328
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,000
the whim as a VM and not having to deal with all the you know all all of the

329
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,440
crate creating partitions decompressing the whim onto the drive all that stuff

330
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,120
you don't have to do any of it it's your install times are nothing exactly right

331
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,720
right now it doesn't work for applications are VM it's just kind of

332
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:36,039
cons1 client only but but it'll it'll this is the beginning right so yeah it

333
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,320
always is right I mean it'll it'll happen it makes it makes sense it fits

334
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:46,000
the bill it almost feels like this is actually made like for

335
00:23:43,159 --> 00:23:49,320
VMS yeah it's it's I mean it's really cool the the the coolest thing about it

336
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:53,480
isn't necessarily that they're just holding everything in the wiim but I just like the idea that the filter

337
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:57,760
driers is taking all of the guesswork out of it so the average user they're not going to know what's going on they

338
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,559
just reclaimed a whole bunch of space right right and I think honestly that's

339
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,000
the most important thing especially when you're dealing with the client side with the Enterprise side not so much but when

340
00:24:02,919 --> 00:24:08,679
you're dealing with the client side and people that are buying tablets they just want their space they you know even if

341
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,400
they can reclaim four gigabytes to put another movie on it I mean that might be the difference between not buying and

342
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,520
buying that device so I I think that's really cool I mean I gota I can't help

343
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:25,760
but feel a little bit like this is something Microsoft shouldn't have even really had to do I mean you look at how

344
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:28,520
much um smartphone capacity has evolved

345
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:33,960
in the last four years I when the iPhone 4 came out it was available in 16 32 and

346
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:41,159
64 gig capacities yes what's what's the 5S available

347
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:44,159
in I think they have 128 gig don't they

348
00:24:41,159 --> 00:24:45,320
they may have a 128 gig but really

349
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:49,000
you're going to try and convince me that flash densities haven't at least more

350
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:52,399
than doubled and with the way that pricing is structured it's really not

351
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:58,320
that much cheaper and they make you pay an awful lot more for a little bit more storage and I think that's why a lot of

352
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,279
people end up with 16 gig smartphones or

353
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:06,159
16 gigs still when really do they have to is it really that much of the bill of

354
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:09,880
materials or could you just or or I mean looking at what's happened to ssds over

355
00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:14,960
the last four years in terms of pricing couldn't you just be delivering us 64

356
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:20,000
gigs minimum as a smartphone capacity with capacities up to you know 128 or

357
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,960
even 256 apparently is no I I I agree

358
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,919
that spa space is getting cheaper it's it's absolutely getting cheaper it's

359
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,799
getting smaller it's getting faster so does reclaiming you know a couple of

360
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,880
gigabytes really make a difference in the grand scheme of things not not at

361
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:34,720
the higher end of the spectrum not if you're talking like you know 64 128 256

362
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,840
gig devices all the way up to gez they got like terabyte ssds now right that

363
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,399
are affordable um but the thing is you have to think a little bit more globally

364
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:46,840
too when you're competing in a market where you want to create mobile devices that are 100 $200 you know and you

365
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:52,440
really want to hit that low low price point yep stuff like the Moto G exactly

366
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:55,520
you can buy 16 Gigabyte you know ssds for pennies you know on the dollar

367
00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:00,000
they're almost irrelevant now because people just don't use them but if you can put those into device

368
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:04,120
and drive the price down to a point where you know somebody that couldn't otherwise afford a tablet or a mobile

369
00:26:02,679 --> 00:26:08,679
device now can that's their price of Entry I mean I think I think that's

370
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:11,600
still a very very Noble thing yeah um to to go after but yeah at the high end I

371
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:15,960
mean is this is this going to be something that we're going to be using if we have like we know one terab hard

372
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:18,640
drives on our desktop computers no not really I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't take

373
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:23,679
the performance hit for it I would rather pay for it in space just because it's cheaper in this application but

374
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,679
when you're talking a smartphone or a small tablet or something like that then

375
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:31,360
yeah I think it's beneficial in the long run because one thing you're not going to be using those devices for super high

376
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,559
performance applications so the slight performance hit you take in you know in

377
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:38,159
decompressing the data I don't think it's going to be a really big deal to you because you're going to be using

378
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,679
stuff like office checking your email Facebook and watching movies things like

379
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,240
that you're not going to be like you know editing and rendering and doing 3D

380
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:50,000
stuff and you know hosting your web you know your web server on your tablet at

381
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:55,399
least I don't but so speaking of you would try speaking of office I finally

382
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:58,159
picked up an Office 365 subscription so

383
00:26:55,399 --> 00:27:04,840
I'm I'm I'm part of I'm I'm part of the the fold now I'm just so sick

384
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,240
of everything not being not being like

385
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:11,080
synced and everywhere and all that kind of stuff and honestly I got to tell you

386
00:27:08,399 --> 00:27:18,000
the setup process for Office 365 is terrible I mean oh really that whole

387
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:22,279
ridiculous thing where it's my name aty

388
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,760
domain. onmicrosoft.com until I go

389
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:29,919
through my domain registar to confirm that I own the domain and then I can

390
00:27:26,679 --> 00:27:31,919
switch it and then all of the like the

391
00:27:29,919 --> 00:27:38,120
way that the sort of synced everywhere file thing works except that sometimes

392
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:40,679
it's my like consumer Sky Drive and

393
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:46,720
sometimes it's like my other one and sometimes it's and the number of Clicks

394
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:48,360
in Office 2013 to save to the local

395
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:53,240
Drive is ridiculous you click save and instead of

396
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:57,840
just being a local browsing dialogue it's like where would you like to save

397
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:03,039
blah blah blah cloud cloud some other thing and then local and well local and

398
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:08,760
then it's like where local here's some recent places

399
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:10,760
no just let me browse the dialog simmer

400
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:14,480
down you need to simmer down Canadia all right take it down you're actually one

401
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,760
of the first people I've heard really complain about it a lot of people I've heard really love it and they they even

402
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:23,880
love like the experience on other platforms like iOS The Office 365 apps

403
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:31,000
on iOS are like amazing I haven't tried the iOS one yet but but why would you

404
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:35,960
my iPhone I haven't even seen it yet my new iPhone 5 that I actually see it's

405
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:39,840
like not even quite fired up yet is in my pocket I'm going to be doing an I

406
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:45,559
switched back I've been on Android for a year so I'm going to take a crack at it

407
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,640
and I'm going to uh see if Android can

408
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:49,679
can hold me and uh see see what I end up

409
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,039
going back to so I'm going to try and switch to it for about a month so we'll we'll see we'll see well I've used I I

410
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,200
mean I've used everything that's one thing a lot of people are like oh yeah you work for Microsoft your Microsoft

411
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Fanboy it's like well no I have everything I have I have you know an iPhone 5S that I use on a daily basis I

412
00:29:02,919 --> 00:29:09,080
have a Lumia 1520 I've got two you know Nexus 7 tablets the first and the second

413
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:14,159
generation it's because I like certain things that they all have to offer but the biggest ailles heal with Android

414
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:17,399
always with me is is not all the apps work on all the devices you get this

415
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,880
really weird experience where you go into the marketplace and it's like at the beginning of the description of

416
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:26,279
everything is it's like oh known problems on these 15 devices and you're like oh my God it's like I like a

417
00:29:24,919 --> 00:29:31,240
platform where it's like I'm pretty much guaranteed to be able to download and use everything I don't to go oh damn it

418
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,519
I bought that Samsung you know whatever S5 or whatever and now I can't run these

419
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:39,399
five apps because my screen resolution is too high in the developer didn't fix it you know that's the part that annoys

420
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:44,600
me is it's almost like the thing that makes Android really good also makes it

421
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:48,919
really bad yeah yeah like I I've had so much I love Light Flow I love the idea

422
00:29:46,679 --> 00:29:54,279
of it when I did my Nexus 5 review it was amazing just like I I can't get it

423
00:29:51,919 --> 00:29:59,159
working flawlessly on anything else and it drives me crazy because it's like a

424
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,799
really fantastic Light Flow Light Flow

425
00:29:59,159 --> 00:30:04,200
yeah no there's some really cool there's some really cool apps on Android that I

426
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,120
found but I just I remember back and it's gotten a lot better now but I

427
00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:11,240
remember back when I bought uh gosh which was it like Motorola made a made a

428
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,679
little Android tablet was it Motorola God I can't even remember it was so long

429
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,480
ago I bought it Best Buy it was like brand new tablet high resolution I

430
00:30:15,399 --> 00:30:20,080
brought it home and seriously I downloaded like 30 apps and of the 30

431
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:23,960
like two of them worked right on it yeah because all of them were like designed for phones all of them were designed for

432
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:28,240
different resolutions some of them just didn't work well with the new capacitive

433
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:32,480
touch that they were using crashed left and right and I couldn't triage or debug

434
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,880
any of it mainly it's better now yeah it's a it's a lot better now I

435
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:40,279
definitely a lot better now like I use a

436
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:42,000
my G2 when I did um and I would blindly

437
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:45,760
download applications without checking if it worked or not never had a single

438
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:50,200
problem um never had a problem with my Nexus S never had a problem with my S3

439
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:55,320
and I'm not having a problem with the Tegra Note right now Luke never never

440
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:59,600
like really never I've never had a problem with application compatibility

441
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:05,279
okay but then hold on a second cuz he came from a Nexus device to an S3 I I

442
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,919
named my devices yeah I did use fairly mainstream devices that's very true so

443
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:12,960
the I didn't use like the uh Motorola tablet or anything like that I was using

444
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:18,960
an Nexus device and I was using a Samsung device then I was using a flagship LG device so it's it's like

445
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:25,279
yeah so you weren't using like the $16 like what is it like

446
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,679
knw so yeah cuz I've had all kinds of

447
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:31,200
problems with like offbrand Android where like nothing works on them we we

448
00:31:29,399 --> 00:31:34,760
were just talking about you know lowend storage on the mobile devices and it

449
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,960
just reminded me that I've seen some of these uh some of these Chinese

450
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:43,200
electronic sites online that are selling Android devices like actual functioning

451
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:46,559
phones running Android on them for like 2530 yeah and they've got like eight

452
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,000
gigs of storage you know like four or eight gigs of storage in them and so it

453
00:31:49,639 --> 00:31:53,919
it still goes back to I guess there is a market for that obviously somewhere in

454
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:58,480
the world there's a market for these incredibly incredibly cheap

455
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:03,840
devices yeah that's actually uh it's not on our list of topics for today but um

456
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:07,919
when when the whole Project Ara thing was coming around and you know the

457
00:32:06,159 --> 00:32:11,919
enthusiasts were getting really excited about it and I guess what well really it

458
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:16,440
was more when it was called phone blocks when it was still that campaign um one

459
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:21,720
of the conversations that we had on the show was like look enthusiasts calm calm

460
00:32:19,399 --> 00:32:26,519
your boobies because this isn't for you and now that some pricing rumors are

461
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,760
starting to surface and Project Ara is

462
00:32:26,519 --> 00:32:34,639
rumored to be what like in the 2535 range for an entry LEL device I

463
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,360
think that that's a very good point is that there is definitely a market for

464
00:32:36,159 --> 00:32:41,639
this I thought it was 50 bucks 50 bucks okay I could be wrong but it's like it's

465
00:32:39,919 --> 00:32:44,799
still really cheap yeah like it's going to be a very very entry-level device and

466
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:51,320
there's definitely still a market for this and I think that in the next sort

467
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:54,600
of few years this whole like high-end

468
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:57,240
phone thing is going to mostly go away

469
00:32:54,600 --> 00:33:01,480
just like you can't buy a highend cordless home phone anymore like have

470
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:05,679
you noticed that yeah no I have I have I I shop at Costco like religiously and

471
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,320
for years I'd go to Costco and there'd be at least five or six different really

472
00:33:07,639 --> 00:33:12,679
really high-end like unit in phones like you know I've got my my VTEC over here

473
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,080
you know this was considered high-end back in the day right yeah and uh so you

474
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:22,279
know now I go to Costco it's like I can't remember the last time I walked into any Costco and actually seen a home

475
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:26,320
phone for sale like they don't even have them anymore and like for for a while

476
00:33:24,679 --> 00:33:30,080
there there was a period of like at least a few years where they still had

477
00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:33,559
them everywhere but the way that they were justifying the high price was

478
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,039
they're just giving you more and more handsets to the point where you'd have

479
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:42,440
one that would come with you know four or five handsets in it and that was they

480
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,639
put ridiculous features on them too like I mean features like well they sound

481
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,799
cool but they don't really work in practice like for instance I have a

482
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:53,559
feature on my phone over here and it's one of the reasons why I bought it and guess what I never used the feature hey

483
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,919
good marketing huh um it's got It's got this Bluetooth thing where you can

484
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:59,279
basically hook your Bluetooth conect connect to your cell phone any cell

485
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,679
phone's Bluetooth you can connect it to the base station of this and if your

486
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:06,159
home phone rings your cell phone like

487
00:34:04,679 --> 00:34:10,000
rings and you answer it through the Bluetooth and you can talk on your home phone through your cell phone right so

488
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,480
it basically turns your cell phone into a handset the problem is it only works

489
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,320
when you're like 15 feet away from the base station it cuts out constantly so

490
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:20,520
it's like it's like they didn't even test it it was one of those illusionary benefits where it's like I bet you some

491
00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:24,720
nerd's going to buy this if we put it on the box and they were right I did but

492
00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:27,399
the cool thing about Costco is in 20 years I can take this handset back and

493
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:33,359
be like yeah uh it doesn't work give me all my money

494
00:34:30,919 --> 00:34:37,399
back that's Costco for you oh my god Costco's kind of

495
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:41,879
amazing the stuff I've taken back over periods of time has completely blown my

496
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,359
mind I mean honest my favorite return story at Costco uh well actually I've

497
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:50,839
got it two one was my mom returning a toaster oven that was literally over 10

498
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:55,079
years old and stopped working they gave her they gave her a brand new

499
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:58,760
top-of-the-line one and then my personal favorite was one where I actually didn't

500
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,359
even walk in with the intention of returning the thing so I I walked in

501
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:08,680
with a pressure washer okay and pressure washers are one of those items that

502
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:14,160
people um customer service people are real used to people renting you know yes

503
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:16,680
yes kind of like snow blowers and air conditioners seasonal right you take

504
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:22,079
them out a couple times a year maybe yeah seasonal items so I I first of all

505
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:26,400
I figured okay this category getting anything done is going to be a problem

506
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:30,720
so the only reason I went in was because it was some weird brand carer or

507
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:34,760
something I couldn't even figure out how to pronounce it it had like an apostrophe in it I'm like okay whatever

508
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:39,079
was this that elect was this one of those electric ones no it was a gas powered one oh it was a gas powered one

509
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,680
okay yeah yeah yeah it was gas powered one and I'd used it very heavily the

510
00:35:40,839 --> 00:35:48,400
previous summer when I was painting houses and um what happened and it was

511
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:51,599
the most bizarre thing like I I even though it legitimately happened I

512
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:56,359
figured you walk into any store and tell them this they're not even going to

513
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:59,599
believe you anyway so I all I wanted was

514
00:35:56,359 --> 00:36:03,240
I wanted a new wand for it because I was

515
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:06,800
using it and literally in the middle of

516
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:10,040
using it it snapped in half the

517
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:14,000
metal the metal snapped in half the the

518
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:16,680
the brass fitting just like the threads

519
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,160
snapped right off of it and it just you know obviously what happens with a

520
00:36:18,359 --> 00:36:24,520
pressure washer when you don't have a nozzle on it is it just drips right like

521
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,920
it it's just normal normal water now be honest was was he hitting you with it

522
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:31,760
yes I'm so sorry so I walk in and I'm just

523
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:38,119
like um I don't know how to contact this manufacturer I need a new wand for this

524
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:41,079
thing can you help me and they're like

525
00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:44,480
no but we'll take that and give you a full

526
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:46,760
credit and they won't even tell you what they won't even ask you nine out of

527
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:50,880
tenen times they don't ask you what's wrong with it nope it's pretty crazy

528
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:54,960
like my two best stories ever was a baby monitor I took a baby it legitimately

529
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:58,400
broke the baby monitor we had it for about a year and the camera one of the

530
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:02,400
cameras broke so we took the whole thing back and they're like they they're like

531
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,560
oh do you have the re they asked me for the receipt cuz they couldn't figure out which purchase it was in the system

532
00:37:04,839 --> 00:37:10,240
because it was a really obscure item and so they opened up the back they got the serial number anyways they found it in

533
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,960
the computer system they're like okay we found it they're like would you like cash or or store credit and I'm like

534
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:18,560
cash and then they look in the bag and they're like oh do you have the power adapter for the other camera and I was

535
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,000
like oh crap I left the power adapter at home I was like oh here I'll run home and get it they're like yeah don't worry

536
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,359
about it and they so they gave me my money back so I still have the AC

537
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:31,720
adapter for this thing sitting in the house somewhere and the second one was a friend of mine bought a treadmill had it

538
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,119
for 3 years a tread a treadmill exercise

539
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:37,599
equipment right who the hell returns that successfully and so the treadmill

540
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:40,839
it was uh started squeaking or something the it wasn't even broken the belt was just squeaking or something so he loaded

541
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,280
in his truck and took it back there and sure enough they just they just asked him uh you know cash credit here you go

542
00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:50,359
and the guy went out in the parking lot and put it on a flat bin took it inside and we're like dude you just returned a

543
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,920
three-year-old used treadmill and it was like and he got and he got like $1,200

544
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,680
back for it it's like you bought the treadmill today on Craigslist it'd be like 50 bucks it just it blows my mind I

545
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:04,319
don't know how that business model works and how they can actually like sustain that but hey I can tell you how it works

546
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:08,560
if you'd like please do please do and does it involve unicorns and Steve jobs'

547
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:14,280
soul I just I need to know it involves them being um obstinate and impossible

548
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:19,119
to deal with on the other side so you know how there's always there's always

549
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:22,880
two sides of anything right like companies will have their customer

550
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:27,880
facing side where they're the nicest folks ever and then the way that they

551
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:32,560
get away with being the nicest people ever to customers is by being complete

552
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:38,440
ass hats to the other people that they deal with and forcing their customer

553
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,920
Centric policies on the folks that deal with them so the way that someone like

554
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:44,359
Costco works is at the end of the year

555
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:52,200
like first of all they're paying for things like net 180 net 365 like not

556
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:56,640
paying for things for six months to a year after the product lands in the

557
00:38:54,119 --> 00:39:00,520
warehouse then anything that gets returned there's no negotiation process

558
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:05,319
and this is all this is all my understanding from someone telling me this so I'd be happy for someone to

559
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:10,079
correct me if I'm wrong but basically what happens is anything that gets

560
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:12,079
returned they put it on pallets they

561
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:15,560
pack it up and they say we're not paying for these ones oh my God so basically

562
00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:21,240
what you're saying is when I go to Costco and they're like sir would you like cash or credit what they're really

563
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:27,520
doing on the other end of Samsung as they're like yeah you're getting 6,000 TVs back yeah yes pretty much oh

564
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:31,480
that's most genius model ever yep it's it's like inverse Walmart and the thing

565
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:35,400
is there's no way they're not going to want to sell their stuff to Costco yeah

566
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:39,319
because Costco moves so much product that even though Samsung's taking that

567
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:43,400
6,000 TVs back or whatever they're they're still making awesome money so

568
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:47,160
Samsung's just like uh okay and then you get a huge you have no choice and the

569
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:51,240
other thing I don't really get with Costco too is they got the membership deal right so they're making some money

570
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:56,599
off that you buy a membership what is it like $30 $40 a year or whatever but then they have that executive membership that

571
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:00,040
they cram down your throat and they try to get you to get it's like 20 it's only

572
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:03,400
like was it like $50 more like $100 a year something like that but then they

573
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,680
give you back like 5% of your purchases so every year I get a check from them

574
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:10,920
for like thousands of dollars and I'm like how is this making you guys any

575
00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:14,000
money well it's it's all a volume game with them I mean okay here's something

576
00:40:12,839 --> 00:40:20,760
crazy I don't know if you know this my wife works at Costco um she's a pharmacy

577
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:23,079
manager there so basically Costco aside

578
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:27,359
from all of these sort of the the the way that they treat customers the way

579
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:32,839
they treat employees is really good and the way that they treat their internal

580
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:34,200
policies is actually really amazing

581
00:40:32,839 --> 00:40:39,160
sometimes so my brother-in-law works there too and he loves it he's he's like a career guy he's been there for like 10

582
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:46,119
years there you go they actually have a policy that they will not Mark something

583
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:48,119
up more than x% within a given category

584
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:54,200
oh wow so like the way that it worked when I was in product management because

585
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:57,520
NC is a fairly sensible company is that

586
00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:00,240
if we got a crazy you know end run deal

587
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:04,599
on coolit eco water cooling units or something like that this was actually my

588
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:11,480
buy I bought like 5,000 of them or 6,000 of them in one shot and we got them for

589
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:14,760
like $28 or something insane like that

590
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:17,680
so Costco would take that deal and they

591
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:23,640
would Blitz them at$ 32.99 because that's their policy if they get a crazy

592
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,400
deal they can't just milk it you it put

593
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:30,760
default margin on it and call it good yeah okay whereas I was able to take

594
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:35,280
that deal and turn it into thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of

595
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,119
profit and then Blitz it once in a while

596
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:41,400
and and kind of kind of milk it that way but Costco's policy is that you can't do

597
00:41:39,319 --> 00:41:47,480
that that's why they don't sell Apple because they refuse to adhere to Apple's

598
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:52,280
map gotcha because if they were selling Apple it be like here get an iPhone 68

599
00:41:49,319 --> 00:41:56,880
bucks yeah and nobody would ever go to the Apple Store ever again and Costco

600
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:00,280
will not sell well or they won't buy it for less than what other people are

601
00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:04,640
paying cuz they're Costco and then they won't sell it for more than their policy

602
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,720
dictates that they will sell it so it's almost it's almost funny because in a

603
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:11,240
way it's like Costco's kind of a monopoly I mean they really are because

604
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:14,560
companies if if a company wants to move volume they kind of have to deal with

605
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:19,040
them and if they want to if they have to deal with them they have to kind of put up with their crap yep but but at the

606
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:23,520
end of the day they're making money Costco's making money so I guess everybody's happy but it's just funny

607
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,839
because I see so many I see I see the government going after so many companies for you know throwing around the whole

608
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,640
monop world word or anything like that but it's I guess what do Costco got

609
00:42:29,319 --> 00:42:35,559
competition like what Sam's Club isn't Sam's Club like owned by the same parent

610
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,760
Corporation I'm not sure we don't have Sam's Club here so no idea what Sam's

611
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,640
Club is I've been there it's very similar the same damn identical you

612
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:46,440
never you'd never know you walk into the Sam's Club it's like somebody blindfold

613
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:50,440
you'd like you'd look around and be like I'm in Costco it's like I think it's

614
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:53,800
like blue themed instead of red themed for like yeah it's like that's pretty

615
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:57,319
much it and I think about the only real difference is I think Sam's Club sells

616
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:01,400
some things and small quantities like not a lot but some things whereas Costco

617
00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:04,400
everything's like super mega bulk that's why I like to shop at Costco because you

618
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:09,200
know they sell Cereal by the gallon it's nice ah Sam's Club is actually a

619
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:10,760
division of Walmart Oh is it really oh

620
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,559
okay so so Wally world's trying to get their their piece of the pie I see how

621
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:18,240
there you go all right we should probably do an actual Tech Topic at some

622
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:23,400
oh yeah yeah sorry guys I'm a little random that ADHD tends to kick in every

623
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:26,240
once in a while all right here we go so

624
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:31,920
Sony sorry uh you're you're you're you're You're gone hold on I I'll I can

625
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,760
bring you back actually son son what is

626
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:38,280
even wrong with me today Sony isn't totally bleeding for money what they're

627
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:43,079
totally not what are you talking about talking about

628
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,880
what I'm trolling you oh you're

629
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:51,000
confusing me okay so uh this was posted on the Forum by Good Bites as we know

630
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:55,760
Sony has been doing some massive you know slashing and burning selling

631
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:59,920
everything that they can to stay afloat I think not that far away from them

632
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:04,599
selling like office furniture at this point well cuz the reason why I was just

633
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:08,200
trolling you that way was their claim is it's it's their ongoing effort to

634
00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:13,319
streamline their portfolio and operations okay so they it was messy

635
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:19,400
they are selling their entire stake in Square Enix the studio behind the final

636
00:44:16,319 --> 00:44:20,240
fantasy series reports The Verge so Sony

637
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:25,079
has 8.2% share in the company making it the

638
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:31,680
largest shareholder and they expected to make about 4 .8 billion yen from the

639
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:38,040
transaction um which like 48 bucks us

640
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:38,040
right yeah so between them having that's

641
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:45,400
rude so between them having um you know

642
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:50,040
between them selling off buildings to keep things going and between them you

643
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:53,599
know but no no no no this is just a streamline their operations you have no

644
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,520
idea what you're talking about okay getting rid of the buildings I'll kind

645
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:02,240
of I I'll say no BS getting rid of this the

646
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:08,280
boat anchor that is Square Enix at this point I I don't understand who would

647
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:10,280
even buy 88.2% of I don't think I don't

648
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:14,640
think if you offered it to me for like if you're like okay look lonus you know

649
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:21,880
like let's say your entire like net worth so like you know a couple hundred,

650
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:26,240
right you can buy 8.2% of Square

651
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:28,359
Enix I'd be like I don't know man let

652
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:33,920
let me look into this first I'd probably do it in the sad immediately yeah but to

653
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:39,400
who hopefully someone not to me

654
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:41,240
nope hopefully um SMBC Nico Securities I

655
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:46,000
I don't get how how's Sony hurting for money they makes such quality products

656
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:47,920
that almost never catch fire I don't you

657
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:54,000
know the thing that frustrates me about Sony is it's like so many things where

658
00:45:51,520 --> 00:46:00,200
it's their own hubris that ultimately just makes them impossible to

659
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:05,839
want to deal with as a customer the only Sony thing that I've bought in the LA

660
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:08,880
since I since my disman from high school

661
00:46:05,839 --> 00:46:12,319
yeah since then is a professional grade

662
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:14,480
camera so my Sony fs700 camera I bought

663
00:46:12,319 --> 00:46:19,079
because it was actually Innovative it was a compelling value and the features

664
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:23,079
and quality of it were difficult to touch at the time um but I mean again

665
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:28,079
the problem here is that in that particular category Sony is going up

666
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:35,720
against the kings of hubris companies like Canon yeah so so like Sony's

667
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:38,040
proprietary nonsense that they do is

668
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:43,359
totally acceptable in that market so I so I didn't really have any better

669
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:45,640
choice but basically will I buy another

670
00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:50,240
piece of Sony gear after that experience is the camera excellent yes has it

671
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:56,760
served us very well yes did they issue a firmware update that they charged me

672
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:59,880
$600 for yes ouch

673
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:02,040
so they sold this camera with 4K

674
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:08,800
capability as a big selling point it has a 4K sensor in it and then no ETA on the

675
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:13,880
actual firmware that would enable this nothing no ETA or Price estimate on the

676
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:20,800
recorder that was going to enable it by the way Sony's proprietary recorder that

677
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:23,440
uses their proprietary recording module

678
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:26,760
that uses their proprietary media is like $88,000 so it's about the same

679
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:31,599
price as the camera I could literally buy a red rig for the cost of that and

680
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:37,440
shoot with an fs700 like Sony are you high so so there so their proprietary

681
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:40,839
solution costs double of what the one aftermarket solution that they've

682
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:45,720
licensed the ability to record off this camera in raw mode costs so they they

683
00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:49,760
went and made their own solution make no sense because it's priced out to

684
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:52,920
complete freaking lunch they want all these proprietary things they want you

685
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:59,200
to pay for a firmware upgrade and I'm sitting here going Sony you haven't

686
00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:00,839
learned a damn thing have you yeah the

687
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,559
yeah the whole paying for firmware C I mean that I'm going to call BS right out

688
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:07,280
of the gate on that because the whole fact is the firmware drives the hardware

689
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,839
right I mean to support the software don't be giving me extra features or

690
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:15,280
fixing stuff that's supposed to already be fixed then charging me for it that

691
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:19,319
that drives me absolutely nuts uh Sony's not the only one to do that either uh

692
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,640
but I do like how Canon Canon's really forthcoming with their firmwares and I

693
00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:26,880
also like the fact that there's a lot of Open Source development for Canon too that's why I like to use the Canon

694
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:31,599
platform what buttheads they're being to the open source crew right I haven't

695
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:35,599
heard no are they are they being pretty pretty hard-headed about it yeah no

696
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:40,920
there's uh I forget what camera it is I think the the issue is that it's capable

697
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,920
of recording 4K but Canon has basically

698
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:47,079
said anyone who makes a firmware for this that records in

699
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:50,240
4k oh that's not that that's probably the Magic Lantern project for the 5D

700
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:54,640
Mark iiii because I heard I think the Mark II sensor supports 4K but it only

701
00:48:53,079 --> 00:48:58,200
can record it for like even even even with the hacked firw can only record for

702
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:01,839
like a maximum of like 10 seconds before the buffer memory runs out but I guess

703
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:06,760
they just don't want people like overheating the sensors in them but oh well I'm still G to run

704
00:49:05,599 --> 00:49:12,200
Magic Lantern hey Canon if you're listening I'm running Magic Lantern on my

705
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:16,359
camera what are you gonna do about it probably not honor my warranty now damn

706
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:20,119
it no just kidding I think that's why people like black magic I don't even

707
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:24,520
know why we're talking about cameras um I think that's why people like black

708
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,480
magic and uh what are the guys the guys

709
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,240
that make Sigma taking camera Market by storm right now

710
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:34,760
yeah y guys like Sigma where it's like to me that's the biggest problem with a

711
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:39,040
lot of different categories right now is that companies get into this rut where

712
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,880
they release what the market will bear and price it at what the market will

713
00:49:40,359 --> 00:49:46,400
bear rather than actually trying to innovate we talked about black Magic's

714
00:49:43,839 --> 00:49:51,799
new camera so it's $6,000 camera with like replaceable sensor 10in screen on

715
00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:57,440
the side two more 5 in screens Elsewhere on the camera like freaking amazing

716
00:49:54,119 --> 00:50:00,200
piece of kit Grand shoots 4K out of the

717
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:05,200
box and it's just like a big old you know Screw you guys to everyone else

718
00:50:03,319 --> 00:50:11,160
because we're building what we can for the budget as opposed to what we think

719
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:13,160
people should be willing to pay and

720
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:16,920
black Magic's not perfect a lot of their stuff is just fundamentally broken like

721
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:20,280
people complain about the difference in audio quality on fastest Possible

722
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,559
episodes that we shoot with our black magic cinema camera even though we spent

723
00:50:22,319 --> 00:50:29,160
an additional $400 on a preamp for the stupid thing because the internal audio

724
00:50:26,599 --> 00:50:32,960
recording Hardware is so broken like it's not perfect but at least they're

725
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:37,240
trying yeah well I've seen their their Optics are amazing though I mean I I saw

726
00:50:35,079 --> 00:50:41,599
uh what is it their little six or $700 handheld video camera it looks kind of

727
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:43,160
like a flip video um oh I don't know are

728
00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:46,680
you talking about the pocket yeah the black magic pocket it's like it's fairly

729
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,760
inexpensive but it shoots 1080p I was watching uh back when I was thinking

730
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:53,240
about buying a video camera I was looking at the video quality on that

731
00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:58,040
thing and I was genuinely shocked like I didn't see anything else that even came

732
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:59,640
close to that for Factor money aside

733
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,880
they seem like they own that market for the quality and that size and I was like

734
00:51:01,319 --> 00:51:05,920
why are these not flying off shelves and I went and read a bunch of reviews and just like you were saying people were

735
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:12,480
saying there's problems with them hanging and locking up and battery life issues battery poopy it seemed like they

736
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:16,319
got it per like the the the the quality of what it could produce was absolutely

737
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:19,119
amazing but the technical stuff you had to deal with to get there was painful

738
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:23,079
and that's that's ultimately what killed it it's like it's the it's the hacker

739
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:28,799
product it's for the folks that are willing to to dink around with it like

740
00:51:24,839 --> 00:51:31,440
our guy uh Brandon loves his pocket and

741
00:51:28,799 --> 00:51:35,960
he has a his is 2 and a2k right no ours are the two we have we have a 2 and a2k

742
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:39,440
okay we sorry we so we have two black magic cinema cameras that's the 2 and

743
00:51:37,319 --> 00:51:43,880
a2k one the slightly bigger one and then Ed has one and then Brandon has a pocket

744
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:48,040
yeah but I thought his pocket is 2 and a2k no that one's

745
00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:53,000
1080p but it's really nice 1080p it shoots pror I heard I heard him saying

746
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:56,760
all weekend it's a pocket 2 and a2k dude if think could sh 2 and a2k on a pocket

747
00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:00,799
that is yeah no it's it's not if he was shooting on his pocket it's definitely

748
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:05,520
1080p um all right let's move into our next topic I think we usually do half an

749
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:09,079
hour guest segments but this has been kind of a different show from usual it's

750
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:12,400
pretty casual I think we've managed to do like two topics so far so you can

751
00:52:10,839 --> 00:52:16,520
hang around with us but you're not obligated to just uh throwing that out

752
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:21,319
there dude I don't I don't feel any obligation I like hanging out we've got

753
00:52:18,599 --> 00:52:25,480
like we've got like over 5,000 viewers right now that's actually really strong

754
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:32,400
because my streams usually get about over 15,000 I'm so joking dude I get

755
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:32,400
like 50 or

756
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:39,920
100 um okay this is pretty cool so Intel

757
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:46,359
is allegedly losing billions on tablet and smartphone categories so this was

758
00:52:43,799 --> 00:52:52,440
posted on the Forum by Good Bites Intel makes smartphones what well they do have

759
00:52:48,799 --> 00:52:54,640
smartphone processor smart guy um in

760
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:58,960
recent months Intel has been under pressure so this is from The Verge to

761
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:03,880
explain why personal computers haven't been selling quite as well LOL and but

762
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:08,640
the chipmaker may have another pressing concern losing billions of dollars on

763
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:13,720
mobile in 2013 Intel's mobile chip division lost a staggering

764
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:17,599
3.15 billion after posting an operating

765
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:19,720
loss of 1.78 billion in 2012 and in the

766
00:53:17,599 --> 00:53:26,119
first quarter of 2014 alone the mobile and Communications Group saw a 9.29

767
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:28,440
million operating loss on a meager 56

768
00:53:26,119 --> 00:53:32,079
million in Revenue according to new Financial results issued today by the

769
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:38,480
company so what I have to say to this is

770
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,960
investors need to like cool it and

771
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:47,599
understand that this is a long-term play for Intel Intel has been making so much

772
00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:49,520
ground up over the last two years or so

773
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:53,520
compared to ARM Solutions in terms of their power efficiency and performance

774
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:58,280
within those power envelopes that we need in order for them to really be

775
00:53:55,240 --> 00:54:00,960
competitor in tablet and in smartphone

776
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:04,520
they're still ahead of everyone else on manufacturing process nodes and all that

777
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:09,040
stuff they're still the technology leader give them a little bit longer and

778
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:13,720
they're going to they're going to dominate but I'm open to other opinions

779
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:17,480
on this no I I tend I tend to actually agree with you on this I think I and and

780
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:22,920
I'll probably take some backlash from this but you know I say anything but I I think arms getting played out I just the

781
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:25,680
the the the performance versus power consumption thing just isn't doesn't do

782
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:30,440
it for me i' I've still yet to see a single ARM Solution that's really like pushing the

783
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:34,240
power that I've seen Intel capable on a similar size platform now granted

784
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:37,319
consuming a hell of a lot more power and therefore killing your battery life but

785
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:42,599
it's one of those things where it's like yeah I'd rather I'd rather have a lot of power for three hours than no power at

786
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:47,000
all for 10 I mean that's just me generally I'm more of a power user but

787
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:49,760
Intel and the other thing too is yeah they might be losing money you know hand

788
00:54:48,319 --> 00:54:53,160
over fist according to this article in the mobile space but you know how are

789
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:56,280
they doing in the desktop and server space because I mean I they're still

790
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,599
they're I mean they're heavy dominators in both of those faes and will continue

791
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,760
to be and that could be allocated acceptable loss they might have known

792
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:07,160
that that was going to happen and they were like oh this is going to cost this much to get done okay whatever let's do

793
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:11,160
it I mean big companies like this can lose 5 10 billion dollars in a lawsuit I

794
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:14,640
mean it's like so I don't when when I see numbers like that I'm like okay what's their what's their total

795
00:55:13,319 --> 00:55:17,640
projected Revenue I mean if they made $20 billion that year and they're down

796
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,400
three billion because of the mobile Division I mean you know boohoo I mean

797
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:26,880
it's it's fine it's just one of those things where it's an acceptable loss while you're pushing into that space

798
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:30,079
yeah and the other thing is Intel I I remember reading a article a couple

799
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:34,119
years back where they were talking about you know they're starting to hit the cap of of the frequency that the chips can

800
00:55:33,079 --> 00:55:40,440
operate at so now they're trying to go for more cores right they're trying to go out and kind of get that that breadth

801
00:55:36,839 --> 00:55:41,760
over depth and uh so you know it's not I

802
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:47,640
think Intel here in the next couple years we're going to start seeing like you know 16 core 32 core CPUs these are

803
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:51,480
going to be like commonplace and it's been sorry go ahead no no no go ahead

804
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,160
it's been frustrating for the enthusiasts I think where you know we

805
00:55:53,760 --> 00:56:00,319
would have loved to have Intel delivering us eight 12 Core Extreme

806
00:55:57,559 --> 00:56:05,640
editions you know last year and they could have yes they could but Intel's

807
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:10,599
very patient I mean you look at AMD's 8 core solution that they that they did

808
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:16,200
deliver to the enthusiasts and did that product really make any sense you could

809
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:18,359
find benchmarks where an fx8350 had an

810
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:22,960
advantage due to its higher core count you could find those benchmarks but the

811
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:31,520
thing ran so hot and consumed so much power and had such a big Dy compared to

812
00:56:26,839 --> 00:56:33,400
Intel's low power small D more Nimble

813
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:38,520
competitors that you you look at it and you go well was Intel smarter to just

814
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:42,599
not bother were they smarter to just be patient like this whole ARM thing that's

815
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:46,200
going on are they just are they just holding their cards to their chest going

816
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:52,520
you know what we're going to be ready with x86 eventually so it's going to

817
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:56,640
take until you know like Intel's they're the kind of company there's going to be

818
00:56:53,640 --> 00:57:00,079
a one-year plan A 5year a 10 plan just

819
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:02,000
going to kind of go okay 2020 like we're

820
00:57:00,079 --> 00:57:06,680
going to be ready we're going to crush it so we're just going to keep keep

821
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:10,680
staying ahead in terms of manufacturing we're going to keep being the technology

822
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:13,359
leader and this whole thing is going to happen and then we're going to we're

823
00:57:12,119 --> 00:57:18,599
just going to come in and dominate because the thing about smartphone

824
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,680
processors and tablet processors is

825
00:57:18,599 --> 00:57:26,599
those manufacturers are so eager to save a

826
00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:28,280
dollar to win a Ben Mark and and find

827
00:57:26,599 --> 00:57:31,920
the balance between those two things that I don't think there's any loyalty

828
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:37,200
to qualcom I don't think there's any loyalty to ARM you look at Samsung they

829
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:40,599
don't even use their own exos processor in tons of their products they use

830
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:46,760
whatever is the most competitive solution today to put into that phone to

831
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:52,400
deliver the best performance possible so taking over the smartphone market is as

832
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:54,640
simple as having the product that's

833
00:57:52,400 --> 00:58:01,000
better at this exact now point in time I mean you look at how NVIDIA how much

834
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:03,200
momentum NVIDIA had with Tegra 2 and

835
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,200
then how that has translated into absolutely nothing for Tegra

836
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:12,520
4 yeah and and the other thing is you're not a smart move for a company is just

837
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:17,160
like you were saying with The Five-Year Plan and the 10-year plan is just because you have something better on

838
00:58:15,799 --> 00:58:20,200
Deck doesn't mean that's the time to release it because you can still profit

839
00:58:18,799 --> 00:58:22,839
from all of the generations leading up to it that's right I mean yeah you're

840
00:58:21,799 --> 00:58:29,000
not you're not going to just go to the market and be like oh wow we created a 32 processor it's sound it works great

841
00:58:27,119 --> 00:58:31,359
you can charge $2,000 for it it's cost effective here let's take it to Market

842
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,520
because then the problem is soon as you do that all of your competition is going

843
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:39,039
to start well they're either going to have their own product already on Deck ready to go and they're going to have to

844
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,640
counter and then both everybody loses right except for the consumer the

845
00:58:40,119 --> 00:58:46,039
consumer is like woohoo we're hauling ass but at the same time the company's

846
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:49,440
lost all that money and revenue leading up to that and that's why I think you

847
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,400
see these inch Wars you know you see one one CPU manufacturer comes out with

848
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:57,280
something the next one comes out with something that's comparable plus one like literally plus one it's just a

849
00:58:55,799 --> 00:59:01,720
little bit better then the next Generation comes out it's a little bit better it's a little bit better I find

850
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:04,799
that really hard to believe that that everything is just in these little

851
00:59:03,119 --> 00:59:09,200
microns and inches you know I have to believe that those companies have a lot of tech that's on deck that they're just

852
00:59:07,359 --> 00:59:16,760
holding back because it's not profitable to release it at this time you know what

853
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:20,960
I think there's some of that but I also

854
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:24,319
believe that because of the way the

855
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:26,280
technology advances that sometimes two

856
00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:30,440
compan with completely different road maps and completely different technology

857
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:35,599
can actually just be neck and neck constantly like I don't believe for a

858
00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:38,520
second that if AMD had a graphics card

859
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:42,680
that costs half as much and performed twice as fast as NVIDIA that they

860
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:48,280
wouldn't release it I believe they would I think they just can't those guys hate

861
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:53,920
I know I know don't I can't go into details but trust me I know this but uh

862
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:56,359
but uh the thing with G with the GPU guys I tend to agree with you they're

863
00:59:55,160 --> 01:00:00,880
they're both they're both ramming their head against the wall neck and neck and the thing is they're not they're they're

864
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:05,119
drastically different a lot of people don't realize that that uh you know the

865
01:00:02,839 --> 01:00:09,799
way Crossfire Works versus uh you know NVIDIA SLI is completely different the

866
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:13,559
way the AMD leans heavily on having more cores versus NVIDIA having less cores

867
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:19,280
and faster cores the Technologies are so radically different yet the end result

868
01:00:15,359 --> 01:00:20,920
is so close every time every time so so

869
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:24,000
I tend to agree with you that I think it's more along the lines of when one

870
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:27,200
company gets a little bit faster the other company goes how do we tweak it to

871
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:30,599
make it better or just put a giant ass heat sink water cooler five you know

872
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:34,960
it's like what do we have to do to get it to its absolute bleeding edge and a

873
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:40,680
good example of this too would be back in the old CPU Wars like where you remember the old seller on 300a right y

874
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:47,039
the the old you know I called it the Nintendo cartridge because you literally plugged it in like one and uh I remember

875
01:00:44,359 --> 01:00:51,880
those things you'd go buy these 300 A's and they would overclock 150 mehz out of

876
01:00:49,559 --> 01:00:56,359
the box on air you could go from 300 to 450 mehz and if you had a chosen awesome

877
01:00:54,599 --> 01:01:01,920
Malaysian one a sweet one you could get over 500 megahertz on those things I

878
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:03,280
mean that is a giant percentage jump in

879
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:07,599
performance out of CPU and I mean that kind of that's when the overclocking really took off from that point then

880
01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:10,839
mother motherboard manufacturers like all right cat's out of the bag Intel's

881
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:15,400
obviously producing stuff that could be pushed a hell of a lot harder and now

882
01:01:13,559 --> 01:01:18,960
the chip manufacturers expect you to do it right I mean inel sells you a CPU and

883
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:23,520
they're like oh here here's a 3.4 gigz CPU with turbo boost yeah and and if you

884
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:29,160
go in the BIOS it'll go 10 times faster I mean it's it it's 10 times faster you

885
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:32,000
10 times faster I gotta buy an ASUS board because it has a BIOS where you

886
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:36,119
select an option that says make it go faster and I'm not joking that's

887
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:38,880
literally what ASUS bioses are like now you go in there and it's like you know

888
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:43,640
used to be overclocking was like yeah I'm going to tweak my CPU get the voltage up there mess with the VC core

889
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,640
and the pl the was it the PLU voltage and everything no now you go in there

890
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:52,039
and it's like uh let's see faster fastest extreme

891
01:01:48,799 --> 01:01:55,880
enter well you know an ASUS's ASUS's

892
01:01:52,039 --> 01:01:58,240
self overclocking utility is actually

893
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:02,760
really good I mean gigabytes and MSI implementations with OC Genie and then

894
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:07,440
whatever Gigabyte calls their thing not very good they're just they're just kind

895
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:11,960
of taking a an approximate profile based on the you know thousand or couple

896
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:16,400
thousand chips that they get to validate their boards and they're kind of doing a

897
01:02:13,799 --> 01:02:21,599
cross-section of okay well 90% of them are going to hit this setting so that's

898
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:27,319
the profile we're going to apply ASUS's actually goes and stress tests the CPU

899
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:33,760
and keeps increasing things and dials in an overclock to the point where the last

900
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:37,359
time I played with it which was I think

901
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:39,440
Ivy Bridge not Haswell it was within

902
01:02:37,359 --> 01:02:44,000
like 100 mahz of what I could do on my own no no no exactly and and I think

903
01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:50,640
mine was even a tighter tolerance than that when I first got this CPU I have a 30 uh was it I think I got a 393k in

904
01:02:48,039 --> 01:02:56,000
this one running 4.5 a little over 4.5 right and uh and yeah I used that

905
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,720
utility I think to get like to 4. 3 4.4

906
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,079
and then the only reason the utility wouldn't take it any further is because

907
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:05,760
it wouldn't go beyond a certain threshold on the voltage well I'm liquid cooled so I was like screw you guys I'm

908
01:03:02,839 --> 01:03:09,760
gonna just do it right uh but it's a great idea because that's exactly what

909
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:12,960
you should be doing and and this I'm I do a lot of automation work a lot of

910
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:16,799
what I do at my daily job is is actually developing automation um to run test

911
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:21,359
scenarios and things like that and it makes sense that when you write automation that you mimic what an actual

912
01:03:20,039 --> 01:03:25,039
human being would do you try to make the same rational decisions and everything

913
01:03:23,319 --> 01:03:27,640
and that's that's kind of the program's doing and I like that it takes that that

914
01:03:26,559 --> 01:03:31,520
outlook on it it's like we're going to bump it up a little bit try it if it doesn't work we're going to back it off

915
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:35,839
or go a different direction if it doesn't work back it off going a different direction I like the fact that

916
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:39,760
the motherboard manufacturer was like all right well let's design the software

917
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:43,200
to work in tandem with the firmware BIOS or EFI or whatever you know depending on

918
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,960
your situation let's let's make it work in tandem with that so that the machine

919
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:50,760
can basically just sit there and power cycle itself and continuously adapt

920
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:53,440
itself and tell it stable calling ASUS

921
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:58,559
is uh calling ASUS is software something that you know works is sort of yeah well

922
01:03:56,559 --> 01:04:01,920
honestly I I've I've played with ASUS software Gigabyte software I've even

923
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:05,119
played with some of the um for the GPU stuff uh what was it the ATI

924
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:10,680
overclocking utility God I can't remember what the name of it is uh really old one overdrive yeah and and

925
01:04:09,279 --> 01:04:15,680
it's like this Ancient Ancient utility and it cracks me up because it like works on AMD processors and it works on

926
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:18,839
NVIDIA processors and you can tweak all these weird settings and everything I I

927
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:22,920
love it when you pick up a piece of software that looks like it was wholeheartedly designed for one thing

928
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,880
and it just works for everything else everything else yeah like like digital

929
01:04:24,599 --> 01:04:29,839
Western Digital creates what is that the Western Digital uh data uh Drive utility

930
01:04:28,319 --> 01:04:33,559
God my brain is not working today anyway well Cate has C tools and I know that

931
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:36,640
works on anything they all work on everything it cracks me up it's like the

932
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:40,200
other day I was my my boss was trying to get me to recover some data off of his

933
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:42,680
uh broken Samsung drive and I just happened to have the Western Digital

934
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:47,640
utility installed so I opened up Western Digital like yeah here I'll check out the drive yeah here I'll recover your

935
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:51,400
data I was like all right well all right Western Digital

936
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:56,240
that's uh that's pretty cool you know and it's like when you see stuff like the AMD tools working with NVIDIA you're

937
01:04:54,279 --> 01:04:59,279
like how is this even possible I mean other than them sharing like a basic

938
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:04,640
software technology like direct deex or openg GL they're completely different

939
01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:06,680
yeah it's just it's very strange so I

940
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:09,960
just realized it's like almost six o'clock already I know that you're not

941
01:05:08,319 --> 01:05:15,720
going to be sticking around much longer so we should definitely do our sponsor

942
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:18,599
spots here so number one is

943
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:23,039
squarespace.com guys Squarespace is the easy way to set up your own beautiful

944
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:27,079
website they actually had something that they wanted me to talk about this week

945
01:05:24,799 --> 01:05:30,319
this was what's that all I was going to say get it cuz it's a square cuz Barnes

946
01:05:28,839 --> 01:05:33,599
CLE was making a square but then he's not onen yeah he's not on screen they

947
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:40,240
can't see so then I was like get it and then I was like no no one gets it I'm

948
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:43,880
sad now none of none of the jokes were

949
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:46,160
gotten none at this point in time fail

950
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:53,079
so Squarespace did ask me to mention that they are have been nominated for

951
01:05:48,119 --> 01:05:55,640
four web's so the link here is uh sqs

952
01:05:53,079 --> 01:06:00,680
P.M e Q5 brwa and they asked me to reach out to

953
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:04,839
my audience be like yo guys can you vote for them because the webbi are sort of a

954
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:09,559
big deal so I went ahead I posted that link in the twitch chat please do by the

955
01:06:07,319 --> 01:06:14,880
way guys Jerry's not gone Jerry's still here he's just replaced by Squarespace

956
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:20,599
because Squarespace makes such beautiful websites and Jerry just can't compete

957
01:06:18,039 --> 01:06:24,480
with a beautiful website like lus Medi group.com which Jerry was in a

958
01:06:22,319 --> 01:06:29,520
Squarespace and now Squarespace is in a rectangular space I'm so confused right

959
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:33,400
now yeah this is like space deception why is he back again let's get rid of

960
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:36,359
this guy there we go so Squarespace is good because they they've been hassling

961
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:41,559
me to create a web page so should should I take them up on it like you know what

962
01:06:39,319 --> 01:06:45,400
good stuff aside from them being a sponsor of our show aside from that we

963
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:49,039
used them far before they were a sponsor we used them before they were a sponsor

964
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:52,480
because it's really inexpensive and it's really easy and you know what this is

965
01:06:51,039 --> 01:06:58,000
okay aside from the Webby thing that they did ask me to mention um have you

966
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:02,920
noticed that every Kickstarter has a Squarespace site I have noticed that

967
01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:09,000
actually no I haven't That's funny though go on kickstarter.com

968
01:07:05,559 --> 01:07:11,240
find a Kickstarter go to their website

969
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:14,359
be like cuz Squarespace they've only got like I think it's less than 30 templates

970
01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:19,119
so they have templates that are optimized for having a so you can right

971
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:22,760
so you can tell so they have templates that are optimized for like um an

972
01:07:21,079 --> 01:07:27,279
e-commerce thing they have blog optimized ones portfol optimized ones or

973
01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:31,520
whatever else and I swear they should just have a template called Kickstarter

974
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:34,760
because they all used it you know what the sad thing is I'm actually I actually

975
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:39,400
am a web developer I mean I'm very very versed in mvc4 and asp.net technology

976
01:07:37,799 --> 01:07:43,720
SQL I'm I'm very comfortable with all that stuff but the problem is building a

977
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:47,000
web page from the ground up using those Technologies is like pulling teeth yes

978
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:51,920
if it's my job and they're paying me for it and I got six months to do it hey rock on but I don't have that time to

979
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:55,319
make my own personal site that way I literally just want to be lazy it's like

980
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:59,119
I'm like the mechanic that takes his car to Jiffy Lube you know it's like I just

981
01:07:57,799 --> 01:08:01,960
I just want to get a website up and I want it to work for people and I don't

982
01:08:00,799 --> 01:08:05,880
want everybody coming at me and saying yeah I'm getting 404 errs constantly because you like screwed up the

983
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:11,319
threading or something on you know on your Forum I I don't want to deal with that and with Squarespace you can dink

984
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:15,159
around with it if you want they have an advanced mode so you can you can totally

985
01:08:13,319 --> 01:08:19,279
play around with things if you want to otherwise what are they based on I'm

986
01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:23,159
sorry what what are they based on are they are they like uh are they Linux

987
01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:26,759
Windows ASP net Apache like what do what do they use for their back in look who

988
01:08:24,799 --> 01:08:30,920
you're talking to man I actually never touched it because um edel actually did

989
01:08:29,159 --> 01:08:34,759
all of the design so I don't know and neither of them will know so that

990
01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:39,359
question's going nowhere all right sorry so the can I drag drop my pictures and

991
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:44,359
people can see them that's how easy it is our designer basically did the site

992
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:48,040
yep I actually never touched it I'm going to try it out guys all right

993
01:08:45,679 --> 01:08:52,080
Square Squarespace site coming your way all right cool okay and so look at that

994
01:08:50,159 --> 01:08:57,839
we look at that so okay so just as a reminder guys squarespace.com / Linus

01:09:01,440 --> 01:09:07,520
move into give me your affiliate link I don't want lus getting my 10% oh wow I'm

998
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:14,440
just kidding I'm just kidding you come on my show you don't give me my 10% or

999
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:19,159
your 10 it's your 10% I don't even get I don't even get anything for it I don't

1000
01:09:17,279 --> 01:09:23,960
even get a commission on those signups it's they just they sponsored the show

1001
01:09:20,799 --> 01:09:26,080
at a flat rate I'm stab you my 3D print

1002
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:30,120
a knife okay here hold still that's actually pretty cool um I went to the

1003
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:34,120
gaming section and I didn't see any sites designed by Squarespace and I was like that kind of makes sense maybe

1004
01:09:32,759 --> 01:09:38,359
because these are all programmers so I jump to the design side and I'm pretty sure this is Squarespace site and it's

1005
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:43,839
the very first one I there you go all right so we do have

1006
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:49,040
one more sponsor today and that is ASUS with their g750 JayZ notebook The

1007
01:09:47,239 --> 01:09:53,440
Notebook that actually doesn't make a ton of sense for us to be sitting here

1008
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:56,159
on the show using unless we're Jay-Z Thank you you for

1009
01:09:56,440 --> 01:10:02,040
that you know that I actually I actually

1010
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:07,400
have to send these sponsor spots to our sponsors and they get to

1011
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:10,840
hear that joke but look at the interaction with twitch chat which

1012
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:17,800
hasn't started happening they don't they don't watch the whole show for context

1013
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:20,120
all they hear is wow they made a joke

1014
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:24,280
about the letters J and Z being in the product part number see the the people

1015
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:28,760
in the chat love it you are like a genius hey Jay-Z jokes are funny okay I

1016
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:32,560
saw a Supra Toyota Supra with the hood open there was two pictures of Jay-Z

1017
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:35,520
under the hood and it said two JayZ because there's two of them and that's

1018
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:40,199
that's the engine well you guys would know that you're not car nerds are you

1019
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:43,560
no nerds all right I'm bringing you I'm bringing you into our sponsor spot

1020
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:47,719
because we're actually going to turn this sponsor spot into a bit of a

1021
01:10:45,239 --> 01:10:54,159
discussion about the g750 j-z because last week um he okay I'll move him down

1022
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:58,520
okay can you just everyone patting his head can everyone just calm down for a

1023
01:10:56,199 --> 01:11:04,600
second I'm trying to do something here all right so last week when I did my

1024
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,600
sponsor spot for the for the 750

1025
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:12,400
JZ now I'm not going to be able to say that was a straight face for the rest of

1026
01:11:08,199 --> 01:11:14,840
the show I hate you I hate you oh my God

1027
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:19,400
okay the problem was that I had set one up for myself to use and I'd been like

1028
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:23,040
yep I'm ready to rock on this thing I'm gonna like play around with it and

1029
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:26,719
Benchmark it a little bit and then this guy

1030
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:30,280
flies out to Boston takes my machine that I set up and I got to start over

1031
01:11:28,159 --> 01:11:34,360
from scratch so I'm just like oh way you took you took the money I set up now so

1032
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:38,560
I'm like now it's all tedious and I have to like log into all my accounts and all

1033
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:43,480
this crap again so I actually had to do the show last week having just taken the

1034
01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:47,719
the the laptop out of the box basically put it on my lap and started the show so

1035
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:51,120
aside from appreciating that the cooling system on it is pretty good and my lap

1036
01:11:49,239 --> 01:11:56,360
doesn't get too hot especially for a gaming notebook I really didn't have

1037
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:58,320
much to say about it but since then we

1038
01:11:56,360 --> 01:12:04,840
have benchmarked the thing and let me let me ask you this uh Jerry did you

1039
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:06,840
know that the GTX 880m is actually

1040
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:10,120
pretty damn close to the full spec of a GTX

1041
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:14,280
770 no but that's pretty damn impressive being in a laptop what's the battery

1042
01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:17,840
life like 20 minutes the actually we the one thing we haven't benched is battery

1043
01:12:15,719 --> 01:12:20,280
life but I'm assuming it's not like hours and hours and hours when you're

1044
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:25,159
gaming I think it's going to go like this like this is 100% it's like okay word processing you're good watching

1045
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:29,400
movie you're good playing the game it's just going to bounce like but this does

1046
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:33,280
have NVIDIA's new thing yeah we saw that work it does have Optimus so that means

1047
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:41,400
that like his laptop that he's been using for the entire show which is a couple hours now is sitting at uh 67%

1048
01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:44,360
battery so when you're not at 100% oh that's right that was the one that

1049
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:49,920
wasn't plugged in isn't it okay so so the so when you're not gaming out flat

1050
01:12:46,480 --> 01:12:53,000
out not that bad but the crazy thing

1051
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:56,400
okay so it has a full GK 104 core in

1052
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:59,239
there no disabled Cuda course it h it's

1053
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:04,040
clocked about 20% higher than the last gen 7 ADM or whatever it was so it's

1054
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:07,760
actually clocked at about 1 GHz we played around with overclocking a little

1055
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:12,480
bit you can overclock it using standard overclocking tools and get this even

1056
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:19,520
though the CPU so it's a 4700hq I think it is versus like a 4770k

1057
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:23,920
and if you look at Intel's um if you go on Arc you can find out that those two

1058
01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:29,120
CPUs cost exactly the same so the clock speed of that CPU is a good like 20 30%

1059
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:34,600
slower but our review of this is coming out tonight Luke benchmarked it against

1060
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:41,760
a comparably priced desktop featuring a GTX 770 and a 4770k and it was what like

1061
01:13:38,679 --> 01:13:43,639
60 70 80% of the speed depending on the

1062
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:47,400
game yeah and like you have to you have to realize that we also hit the same

1063
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:50,880
spec as the laptop it's like we had a Thunderbolt motherboard and we had a

1064
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:54,400
Blu-ray we we went to be feature complete we wanted to be feature

1065
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:58,880
competitive with the laptop what's the res what's the res on the screen on that

1066
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,840
thing it's 1080 so 1080p God so that

1067
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:09,560
would probably run gez that would probably run like Battlefield 4 on Ultra like no sweat yeah that's insane laptop

1068
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:11,600
the theme of the review is not you know

1069
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:16,719
is this the lightest most portable thing in the world no it's not but the theme

1070
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:22,880
of the review is is there room in the world for a laptop that exists between

1071
01:14:20,199 --> 01:14:27,239
the bulk of a desktop and the slimness of something like a thin and light

1072
01:14:24,199 --> 01:14:29,520
gaming notebook when the price to

1073
01:14:27,239 --> 01:14:33,600
Performance compared to a desktop is actually not that far off so our laptop

1074
01:14:32,159 --> 01:14:40,280
ended up costing I think a couple hundred more to have feature completeness so for things like the

1075
01:14:36,440 --> 01:14:42,400
desktop we got a webcam just a $2 webcam

1076
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:45,960
because a laptop has a webcam it's part of the overall Computing experience we

1077
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:50,440
grabbed a decent keyboard with a backlight because it's got a decent backlit keyboard on it so we did all

1078
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:54,480
those things and it was about a couple hundred bucks out and I think it was around 70 to 80% of the performance

1079
01:14:53,239 --> 01:14:59,199
performance so very interesting no and the thing is

1080
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:04,679
with me is like and and this is the other thing is some people like especially like women I would find like

1081
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:07,239
my wife they like having compact Small Things fitting their purse carry around

1082
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:10,040
like my wife she has she actually has a MacBook Air and she loves it she

1083
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:14,280
absolutely loves thing I can't pry it out of her hands we will have one person

1084
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:20,840
watching this show that is like I am a female and I want a 750 JayZ yeah that's

1085
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:28,080
fine because this show is powered by the isusa g750 Jay-Z so go for right but

1086
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:29,679
anyway I I would rather have a large

1087
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:33,840
desktop replacement class laptop cuz weight's not an issue with me I'm 280 lbs I don't care I'll carry around a

1088
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:37,400
freaking desktop on my back I don't care but uh I used to have this laptop my

1089
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:42,400
favorite laptop ever of all time it was a Dell XPS you remember those Godly old

1090
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:47,080
laptops they had 17inch screens on them they weighed like 20 pounds they were

1091
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:51,760
like this thick yeah I I had one of those and it had the most amazing specs

1092
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:57,800
for the time and I remember I gamed oh and it had a uh had had a 19 uh was it

1093
01:15:54,920 --> 01:16:02,880
1920 by or 1900 X 1200 screen so the old you know uh was it 9 by 10

1094
01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:07,440
aspect 16 by 10 yeah yeah the thing played everything absolutely everything

1095
01:16:05,199 --> 01:16:10,120
for like two years on Max settings after I got it it was a work I I didn't buy a

1096
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:15,360
work work God I think it was like it's five grand or something for that thing but still for to have a laptop that for

1097
01:16:13,159 --> 01:16:18,800
two years had specs that just blew I mean it blew my desktop Dev machine away

1098
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:23,440
everything I used it for absolutely everything I even had a dock so that you could just plug the damn thing in and

1099
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:26,440
have it on all your laptops I like I think that that's the that's the

1100
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,719
experience I'd like to move towards like I think ASUS is kind of headed in that

1101
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:33,679
right direction where if you have a laptop that can produce the same

1102
01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:37,800
graphical horsepower as a desktop and it can support multiple monitors through a

1103
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:41,080
dock and connect all your peripherals I would rather just take that with me

1104
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:45,679
everywhere come home slap it down on my Dock and have that all available to me

1105
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:50,239
and there's there is a market for that and so that was that was the that was

1106
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:54,400
the journey that we were going on because you talk about how that one cost

1107
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:57,840
you five grand or cost Microsoft 5 grand or someone paid grand for it whereas

1108
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:02,159
this one's 2200 which to me is a lot more

1109
01:17:00,159 --> 01:17:05,080
reasonable and a lot closer when you consider the fact that it comes with a

1110
01:17:03,639 --> 01:17:08,600
monitor and it comes with keyboard and all that kind of stuff is a lot closer

1111
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:12,719
to what I would expect an Enthusiast to pay for a gaming machine yeah I'd say

1112
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:20,199
there's probably what about a $500 Delta there between building something comparable on the desktop um about 200

1113
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:23,840
actually really wow if you make yourself you know cuz it has Thunderbolt and

1114
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:27,120
stuff like so if you buy Blu-ray Drive like if you make yourself buy all the

1115
01:17:25,239 --> 01:17:31,320
same features and you can agree or disagree with this particular config but

1116
01:17:29,679 --> 01:17:35,639
it's available in a variety of configs with you know 16 gigs 24 gigs 32 gigs of

1117
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:39,040
RAM however much you need so whether you agree with this particular config or not

1118
01:17:37,639 --> 01:17:43,800
if you want to build the same thing as a desktop we came around $200 short on the

1119
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:50,120
desktop wow wow is it an SSD in that too standard equipment uh two ssds two 128s

1120
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:52,560
and a one terab hard drive dude that is

1121
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:58,080
that is whoa whoa two ssds and a one terab physical Drive yeah so they're m.2

1122
01:17:55,239 --> 01:18:02,760
ssds so there's no bottleneck there and then it's also got a and it's fully

1123
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:07,440
upgradeable so you can just um you take out one screw and it's a nice little

1124
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:10,360
retained screw and then you can access both of the SSD slots as well as the

1125
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:14,360
hard drive slot and then two of the memory slots very very easily damn it's

1126
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:17,239
kind of making my Surface RT here feel a little underpowered and

1127
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:25,760
inadequate super thin well for what it's worth as much larger uh as my laptop is

1128
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:29,760
than yours you are that much larger than me that's true that's true and my and my

1129
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:38,440
computer system is that much larger too right so wow wow so now okay well um my

1130
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:40,560
um helicopter is larger than yours oh

1131
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:44,719
don't you mean your Lamborghini yeah my Lambo Lambos aren't about the size my

1132
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:49,600
friend Lambos are not about the size they're about the speed everyone knows

1133
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:53,840
faster is much more satisfying I'm GNA own a Lambo one day now if you open the

1134
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:57,920
door the inside going to say Pontiac Fiero but it on the outside all Lambo

1135
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:02,040
it's going to be awesome all right we should do some actual topics for a sec

1136
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:07,000
here so uh this was probably one of the funniest posts that I have ever seen on

1137
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:12,199
the lonus tech tips Forum by brown ninja 97 um basically he's like okay you have

1138
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:18,120
to put on this music you have to put on this music while you read it dramatic

1139
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:20,400
music and give it up for the gt75 gt710

1140
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:29,199
and gt720 so the uh the Kings of rebadging

1141
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:33,320
the uh the um you know GPU makers of the

1142
01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:36,960
world first up the gt720 is a rebadge of

1143
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:40,840
the GT 610 which was a rebadge of the GT

1144
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:42,600
520 so 48 hole Cuda cor with a 64-bit

1145
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:49,600
memory bus the gt710 is not a rebadge of the

1146
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:53,239
gt620 what it's a rebadge of the

1147
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:57,280
gt630 it's actually a cut down GT6 other

1148
01:19:53,239 --> 01:20:00,159
name and then finally the uh the new

1149
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:04,760
flagship mascot is the gt720 which uh is the same as the above

1150
01:20:02,679 --> 01:20:08,360
card but Superior instead of being a half Rebrand so a cut down Rebrand it is

1151
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:14,400
a full Rebrand um this is an awesome post have

1152
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:18,000
you not read this I had not read this oh my goodness this is really well done so

1153
01:20:16,199 --> 01:20:22,080
is NVIDIA just employing like some guy that just sits back there with some sandpaper and just takes the top off and

1154
01:20:20,719 --> 01:20:30,760
then gets out his little calligraphy pen he like this is GK 208 Dash I see their

1155
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:33,120
point I see why they're not even

1156
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:39,159
bothering in the low end because quite frankly I think that under something

1157
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,800
like a 60 class card on the NVIDIA side

1158
01:20:39,159 --> 01:20:46,760
so so an x60 or even an X you know 50 where

1159
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:51,280
they're actually using the same GPU as the 6D class card which is well last

1160
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:58,199
generation anyway was using the same GPU as the as the 7 class card I think that

1161
01:20:54,719 --> 01:21:02,239
they don't get a compelling enough cost

1162
01:20:58,199 --> 01:21:04,920
savings under that die size to even make

1163
01:21:02,239 --> 01:21:08,960
the thing competitive so they're just they're delivering these cards to Market

1164
01:21:06,639 --> 01:21:13,800
because mainstream people at Best Buy buy them and if NVIDIA doesn't make this

1165
01:21:11,480 --> 01:21:19,560
card then AMD will and someone has to sell a graphics card to that person but

1166
01:21:16,159 --> 01:21:23,639
I think they've just given

1167
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:25,719
up oh that's funny I mean we've had this

1168
01:21:23,639 --> 01:21:31,360
talk before though this like exact same thing this is just more direct there was

1169
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:35,639
like yeah there's some stuff whatever like I mean we I did a video a little

1170
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:41,040
while back where I basically maybe this is why AMD didn't send me an R9

1171
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:45,400
295x2 no I I don't think that's it they're actually sending one now so we

1172
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:48,840
have Austin's and they just confirmed that they found one for us so I'm like

1173
01:21:47,239 --> 01:21:55,840
okay God oh yeah you're going to send it to me afterwards right for my bit coining rig come on oh absolutely

1174
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:57,520
awesome awesome yeah um so so anyway so

1175
01:21:55,840 --> 01:22:02,719
we did a video a little while ago about how the r7240 is stupid and nobody

1176
01:22:00,159 --> 01:22:08,800
should buy it and we actually in spite of us presenting these facts this is how

1177
01:22:06,199 --> 01:22:12,960
it performs this is what it does and this is how much it costs this card

1178
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:17,520
makes no sense and nobody on Earth should buy it we actually had people

1179
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:21,880
disliking the video and justifying it in the video comments and telling me that I

1180
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:26,800
was wrong and close-minded and I'm just sitting here going okay then you guys

1181
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:30,480
can keep buying GT 720s for all I care because there's nothing I can do for you

1182
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:35,320
dude some people are just all about The Branding didn't we give an exact price

1183
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:40,000
per performance comparison of an AMD card that was better but I had people

1184
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:43,920
say but I had people saying I had people saying look these are for like upgrading

1185
01:22:41,639 --> 01:22:53,159
machines and offices to which I would reply well no uh HD 5450 which are like

1186
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:55,520
$13 are for upgrading machine Mach in

1187
01:22:53,159 --> 01:23:00,159
offices so there's there's the cheap card and then there's the card that has

1188
01:22:58,199 --> 01:23:03,480
performance and then there's this weird thing that's expensive and doesn't have

1189
01:23:01,679 --> 01:23:08,199
performance and it just shouldn't exist but people don't get it rebranding

1190
01:23:06,159 --> 01:23:13,239
pisses me off because I've actually bought the same thing twice because of

1191
01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:15,199
it before did you really you got to tell

1192
01:23:13,239 --> 01:23:18,760
the story I'm G to tell the story and and it's so it's software not Hardware

1193
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:26,639
software I just want to be clear on that on Hardware I'd probably do a little bit more due diligence but there's a game

1194
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:28,280
called the War Z oh no biggest piece of

1195
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:34,199
ever made in the history of anything anything horrible now this game

1196
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:38,800
I mean massive Uprising against it right if you guys know the stories behind it like the communities rose up against it

1197
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:42,480
it was a big huge you know pay pay to win game anyways I bought it I was

1198
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:46,520
pissed I sent him money I said give me my refund this is horrible they finally

1199
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:51,000
refunded my money and no kidding on a steam sale a couple weeks later a new

1200
01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:56,280
game pops up called infestation Survivor stories and I'm like that looks cool so

1201
01:23:54,040 --> 01:24:01,120
I buy it I open the game up guess what it was the War Z all the graphics

1202
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:04,400
exactly the same everything exactly the same settings music everything the same

1203
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:08,080
all they did was just change one graphic in the game from the War Z to freaking

1204
01:24:06,159 --> 01:24:10,960
infestation Survivor stories so then I got on the Forum and I find out that oh

1205
01:24:09,679 --> 01:24:14,880
no they had to change they had to change the name for some reason they they they

1206
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:18,000
just renamed the game I was the only one that got hit by this like because it was

1207
01:24:16,199 --> 01:24:21,639
in one of those humble bum bundles I was like I'm gonna God of course I want it

1208
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:26,760
and that's what I bought it for and then I opened it I just I just face palmed I was like did I just really do that oh my

1209
01:24:25,239 --> 01:24:32,040
God but I but I was happy to know that I wasn't alone that other people were doing it too but it just it pisses me

1210
01:24:29,719 --> 01:24:35,400
off because it's like no you created it as that product it needs to stay that

1211
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:38,760
product I'm sorry that was actually that was a big deal when they renamed

1212
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,760
themselves a lot of people bought it oh my God that was actually like a big

1213
01:24:40,199 --> 01:24:45,159
problem and that was the thing is it wasn't available on Steam before that

1214
01:24:43,480 --> 01:24:49,239
too so it was like a new game to steam it was a completely new name you could

1215
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:51,840
tell that they I mean they they should have got the crap suit at them for that

1216
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:55,679
because it was obvious that they were just trying to deceive the public and I

1217
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:58,679
was just like and I fell for it I felt like an idiot and I still do because

1218
01:24:57,639 --> 01:25:03,320
it's still sitting over here in my freaking Steam folder that's how I found the name it's

1219
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:08,719
not even installed I didn't even bother downloading it because I it's not it's not even worth the the freaking Gigabyte

1220
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:13,639
it'll probably occupy on my S my precious SSD yeah oh horrible so yeah I

1221
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:16,880
hate rebranding and then and then from the Microsoft side so I don't so I don't

1222
01:25:15,480 --> 01:25:21,760
look like I'm just playing devil's advocate here to everything that isn't Microsoft you know we had to rename sky

1223
01:25:19,639 --> 01:25:25,679
drive to one drive we actually had to rename it like it was it was a it was a

1224
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:29,400
legal battle that we lost but still it sucks because I get all this influx of

1225
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:33,679
mail from my family and everything going oh man should I upgrade to one drive I

1226
01:25:31,440 --> 01:25:40,360
got Sky Drive what hey is this one drive thing better I'm like no oh just just

1227
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:43,280
download the update it's the same thing it's a changed graphic but it's just

1228
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:46,119
that's how marketing Works people see something new they genuinely believe

1229
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:49,440
it's something new and it's something better right like that's the initial you

1230
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:54,840
know benefit of the doubt that you give to the product I'm like oh my god there should just be there should be freaking

1231
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:59,719
laws against that speaking of something new and something legitimately different

1232
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:05,280
Quan like I am so glad this is finally happening you can leave anytime if you

1233
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:08,000
want I not not you him I don't even know

1234
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:13,600
if I can because I don't have a phone so orchestrating these things hard so I'll

1235
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:18,280
you try to figure it out okay um so quantana I'm I'm glad this is finally

1236
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:22,360
happening where Wi-Fi is finally going somewhere because for the longest time I

1237
01:26:20,159 --> 01:26:29,520
was sitting here going okay so like my mobile data connection is like getting

1238
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:31,520
awesomer by the generation and like Wi-Fi

1239
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:37,320
wi okay so we went from we went from what like Wireless A to B which was like

1240
01:26:34,679 --> 01:26:42,000
slower and then we went to wireless G which just got us back to like Wireless

1241
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:46,440
a speeds again but like better range and then we stuck with G for 100 billion

1242
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:50,600
years that's true that's true and then and then when n came out it wasn't even

1243
01:26:48,239 --> 01:26:57,400
n it was like uh what what they call it draft n draft n yeah it was draft and it

1244
01:26:54,360 --> 01:27:00,360
it wasn't really faster yet and then

1245
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:05,960
finally we got like we got like mimo concurrent in and then that like got

1246
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:11,199
faster and then and then those routers were so expensive that everyone started

1247
01:27:08,159 --> 01:27:13,639
costing down and doing like 150 megabit

1248
01:27:11,199 --> 01:27:18,560
n that wasn't even really that much faster and then finally things are

1249
01:27:16,639 --> 01:27:25,199
starting to heat up a little bit we got AC which can do real world throughput if

1250
01:27:21,480 --> 01:27:27,719
you're using a of like 500 600 megabit

1251
01:27:25,199 --> 01:27:34,880
and then now quantana is announcing development of a 10g 802.11 AC chipset

1252
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:36,840
so this will support eight stream

1253
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:43,719
configurations versus three stream previously up to a 160 MHz channels up

1254
01:27:40,159 --> 01:27:46,840
from 80 MHz and multi-user mimo so we

1255
01:27:43,719 --> 01:27:50,280
could be looking at some serious

1256
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:52,159
performance versus broadcom's 5G just

1257
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:56,320
don't stand within 10 foot of it or you will go sterile just saying that's okay

1258
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:59,440
I've already procreated I don't want to so we can

1259
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:04,320
definitely get one of these in the office oh yeah oh wait I did two I'm

1260
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:08,080
gonna order two don't Kidd so I think that's pretty much all I

1261
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:12,600
have to say about that especially because we don't have much time left here but I think that's fantastic I

1262
01:28:11,199 --> 01:28:18,080
think that we're a long way away from even being able to leverage something like 10g Wireless I mean you know you

1263
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:22,280
talk about nand capacities and how they've stagnated in devices let's talk

1264
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:25,960
about how nand speeds haven't really changed much over the last few years

1265
01:28:23,639 --> 01:28:30,520
because each processed node shrink actually causes Nan performance to get

1266
01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:34,480
worse without fancy controller tricks and and don't forget all the all the the

1267
01:28:32,679 --> 01:28:38,840
the basically frequency pollution now that's going on I mean I have literally

1268
01:28:36,199 --> 01:28:42,159
50 plus networks within the vicinity of my house it's cascaded across all the

1269
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:47,719
channels like I that's one of the things I like using my Nexus for I opened up and I used that uh what is it Wi-Fi

1270
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:50,639
monitor yeah and Wi-Fi monitor basically is just like a million lines it

1271
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:55,760
basically looks like Global thermal nuclear war going on across all of the

1272
01:28:53,239 --> 01:28:59,000
frequencies and all of the Bands I swear no matter what I do with two access

1273
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:03,239
points and three repeaters in my house I still have dead spots just because

1274
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:08,880
everything's occupied someone needs to make the Wi-Fi fighting game yes oh

1275
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:13,880
that'd be cool where it's like global thermonuclear war Wi-Fi Edition and like

1276
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:18,360
the the planet is like the range of your Wi-Fi you have to like fight off other

1277
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:22,760
Wii that is genius like scor remember that game scorched Earth yeah dude

1278
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:25,440
scorched Earth with Wi-Fi signals like everybody sets up their access points

1279
01:29:24,239 --> 01:29:31,000
and you literally put it up on the screen and then you go move your access points around to try to attack their

1280
01:29:28,480 --> 01:29:34,080
router that would be awesome somebody do that Kickstarter Kickstart that project

1281
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:38,639
I'll throw some yeah someone will Kickstart it for like 5,000 bucks and it'll be funded by like 10 quillion

1282
01:29:37,239 --> 01:29:43,360
percent and then never you'll make yeah you'll make $50 billion and you won't even have to create a real product since

1283
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:48,480
most kickstarters don't anyways yeah sell the

1284
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:51,239
Facebook why am I even on this

1285
01:29:48,480 --> 01:29:55,400
show I even want to talk to you people why fighter

1286
01:29:52,760 --> 01:30:00,800
why I like it why I can't come up with something better wi fighter I love it

1287
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:05,480
okay next topic Amazon's smartphone revealed in leaked photos so the big

1288
01:30:03,119 --> 01:30:10,119
news here original article from BGR posted by

1289
01:30:06,719 --> 01:30:13,440
dezi on the Forum so the big news here

1290
01:30:10,119 --> 01:30:15,800
is that Amazon has put is it four or

1291
01:30:13,440 --> 01:30:20,040
five I think they put five cameras on the front of it six oh on the front yeah

1292
01:30:18,119 --> 01:30:24,639
five on the front yeah five cameras on the front of this thing and basically

1293
01:30:22,480 --> 01:30:28,360
the objective here that they're trying to

1294
01:30:26,159 --> 01:30:31,040
objectify achieve I suppose would be a better word for that the objective

1295
01:30:29,719 --> 01:30:38,400
they're trying to objectify the objective here is to make it 3D looking

1296
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:41,239
without needing the same kind of uh the same kind of screen element that they

1297
01:30:39,679 --> 01:30:44,880
have in front of the DS without needing active shutter glasses so the way it'll

1298
01:30:43,480 --> 01:30:48,960
work is the cameras are actually going to track your eye movement so they can

1299
01:30:46,639 --> 01:30:55,520
create 3D elements in things like the wallpapers um app icons things like

1300
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:58,760
photos so while you're shopping you can you can kind of look around the side of

1301
01:30:57,199 --> 01:31:06,080
things like kind of like a parallax effect um would this sell you a new

1302
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,679
phone Jerry or you for that yes okay if

1303
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:12,199
it was done properly yes and I'll tell you why I'll tell really yes hold just

1304
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:18,239
hold God just calm your what' you say calm calm your what mamor can't say that

1305
01:31:15,679 --> 01:31:21,639
really calm them Canadia hold on I'll tell you why I'll tell you why because

1306
01:31:20,199 --> 01:31:26,239
if they do it properly and it attracts my eyes it's like looking through a

1307
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:30,400
window so you get that perceived uh larger larger volume of screen you get

1308
01:31:28,199 --> 01:31:34,360
it closer to your face you get more of an angle outwards I I tested some

1309
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:38,920
technology like this a couple years ago where they put a MAG a magnet on your

1310
01:31:36,159 --> 01:31:42,480
head and uh this was this was a secret research project never went anywhere but

1311
01:31:40,440 --> 01:31:46,280
anyways it had a had a magnet on it and you moved your head around and the

1312
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:48,840
camera in the sensor tracked the magnet and changed the screen but it was cool

1313
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:54,840
because you were looking at a screen that was only about I think it was like a 20 little 20inch screen yeah and you

1314
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:57,199
could get closer to it and like look out and it and it tricked your brain into

1315
01:31:56,239 --> 01:32:02,360
thinking I mean like you were looking out a window it looked like you could see this huge amazing area so if you

1316
01:32:00,719 --> 01:32:05,440
zoomed in on a photo or something like that you could easily just tilt the

1317
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:10,199
phone and look around and get it closer and everything like that it'd be a really natural experience for looking it

1318
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:13,880
very large High detailed photography I think cool I like it if it works

1319
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:17,320
anywhere near half decently have you seen an eye tracking that doesn't suck

1320
01:32:15,480 --> 01:32:20,920
yet yeah no it's not going to work we already know we know it won't it'll be like you'll turn it and it'll lag and

1321
01:32:19,639 --> 01:32:27,560
then you'll throw up because it'll screw with your brain wrong the the Toby video that we tried to film

1322
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:29,920
at CES and were successful but it took

1323
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:34,600
very many attempts because of how not working it was um and like every ey

1324
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:38,239
tring technology I've ever seen not working and I fully expect this to come

1325
01:32:36,719 --> 01:32:42,080
out and people using their phones and they're just trying to use their phones normally and then all a sudden it's just

1326
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:46,520
going to start tilting like crazy because it's going to start tracking on like your cat who's C on your shoulders

1327
01:32:45,199 --> 01:32:49,800
well the problem was the only reason it was even remotely believable in the in

1328
01:32:48,239 --> 01:32:52,840
the one that I tested was because they used this magnet because the reason why

1329
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:58,639
they used the magnet was because there was the least amount of leg between it it it was tracking a magnetic field

1330
01:32:56,320 --> 01:33:03,080
basically right and so it worked very very fast very fluid but you had to be

1331
01:33:00,119 --> 01:33:06,520
within like 10 Ines of the receiver for it to work properly so when you're

1332
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:09,880
dealing with cameras it's like I don't care how fast the CPU is we're a long

1333
01:33:08,239 --> 01:33:14,040
way off from having zero leg when you have to do image processing to figure

1334
01:33:11,440 --> 01:33:18,800
out where some so far away and combine that with the fact that the image is

1335
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:20,719
going to be completely rubbish because I

1336
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:27,040
mean you look okay you look at you look at how hard it is how much work it takes

1337
01:33:24,239 --> 01:33:33,080
how much how much focusing on this and you know uh exposure that on an $8,000

1338
01:33:31,119 --> 01:33:38,159
piece of equipment like what we have to get a good image out of that that would

1339
01:33:35,119 --> 01:33:39,840
actually allow even a person to to to

1340
01:33:38,159 --> 01:33:44,920
look at the eyes and go yeah that's exactly where they're looking now your

1341
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:48,719
CPU has to figure that out with like a webcam I'm honestly wondering if it's

1342
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:52,880
more going to be just like physical head position cuz they say eye tracking but

1343
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:56,880
what they're talking about seems more like if your head was over here you're

1344
01:33:55,239 --> 01:34:00,960
probably looking in that General Direction that's going to throw me for a

1345
01:33:58,639 --> 01:34:04,960
loop anyway no and I don't think it's going to be very good and uh yeah

1346
01:34:03,119 --> 01:34:07,960
honestly I just I think it's I would fully expect it to be more head position

1347
01:34:06,639 --> 01:34:12,520
than anything because they're talking about tilting icons and they're talking

1348
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:15,199
about other stuff which isn't super like I'm looking at the top of the screen or

1349
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:19,760
I'm looking at the bottom of the screen because you're probably going to want it flat there no matter what so it's I

1350
01:34:17,639 --> 01:34:23,920
think it's honestly more my head is over here and the phone is still here so it's

1351
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:26,320
going to be slanted towards me this way and and look at current tracking

1352
01:34:25,119 --> 01:34:31,440
technology right when you got things like connect and stuff like that where they're having to use multiple things

1353
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:34,400
like INF fored and uh you know basically a project you know infrared projection

1354
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:37,800
to be able to track your distance from the device it just it doesn't seem like

1355
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:41,639
an image contains enough information without a hell of a lot of horis sixs

1356
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:46,199
which that you know translates into more CPU um to figure that out and it's never

1357
01:34:44,159 --> 01:34:49,320
going to be 100% And I think that would wig me out if I was looking at something

1358
01:34:47,639 --> 01:34:54,360
and it just you know it just screwed up and all of a sudden just started like jittering and flipping around and trying

1359
01:34:51,679 --> 01:34:59,000
to reorient itself I just I don't see it working I honestly don't some someone in

1360
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:03,560
the chat said tilting icons with a crazy face uh yeah the main things that

1361
01:35:01,159 --> 01:35:08,040
they're showing off is like tilting icons on your home screen and

1362
01:35:06,199 --> 01:35:11,760
perspective of buildings changing when you're in a Maps application and like

1363
01:35:09,480 --> 01:35:15,119
we've seen stuff kind of like this like you look at like the The Parallax

1364
01:35:13,159 --> 01:35:18,800
effects that guys like apple have on things like desktop wallpaper so you

1365
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:23,199
tilt your phone around and you reveal different parts of the photo and like I

1366
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:28,199
just don't care I I have never once enabled that because who cares it

1367
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:31,719
doesn't enhance my life it's like kind of neat but if I'm going to get an extra

1368
01:35:29,679 --> 01:35:35,159
1% battery by turning it off then I'll take that instead well I remember when

1369
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:38,480
they enabled the Parallax on the when I got my iPhone 5 I was like oh man this

1370
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:43,600
is cool and honestly I haven't noticed it since I left the store I mean it was

1371
01:35:41,239 --> 01:35:46,800
totally 100% just a gimmick I mean it's a Meg pie feature you know if I ever

1372
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:50,679
have to sell anything to Jerry just throw like uh Parallax and Bluetooth on

1373
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:57,280
the box that's all you need just got parallax blo tooth and yeah just God if

1374
01:35:54,119 --> 01:35:58,760
we just if we sent him a box okay like I

1375
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:03,719
wonder I wonder if you could do this you know how actually Microsoft's a great

1376
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:09,920
example where you you'll have a box that basically says if you open this seal you

1377
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:13,400
agree to this contract this right that y

1378
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:16,400
okay what about this as a business model

1379
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:18,880
sending people boxes in the mail where

1380
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:24,920
if they break the seal they agree to pay for whatever's inside it interesting

1381
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:29,320
would it be legally would it be legally enfor not be okay I don't think oh man

1382
01:36:27,719 --> 01:36:37,360
but you can send people junk mails so you should be able to send people that without asking so hold on a second if we

1383
01:36:33,480 --> 01:36:39,880
sent Jerry a box that just

1384
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:46,760
says Parallax enabler um you know may contain stuff

1385
01:36:43,159 --> 01:36:48,679
yeah may contain may contain Bluetooth

1386
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:53,320
possible traces of Bluetooth Yeah Yeah by opening this box you agree to pay

1387
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:58,560
$100 trapment yeah how I end up being the butt end of a social engineering

1388
01:36:55,119 --> 01:37:01,159
experience here would you open the thing

1389
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:03,960
I would I dude I I'd have to I'd have to and I'd probably have to make a video

1390
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:07,960
about it to recoup the money that I paid you for he'd be like I might have been

1391
01:37:05,719 --> 01:37:11,880
drunk when I ordered this let's open it up and see what it is right and then

1392
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:15,719
video I did I ordered a bunch of stuff and I forgot what it was the way the

1393
01:37:13,639 --> 01:37:19,920
business model works is you build enough margin into whatever you're shipping

1394
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:24,080
people that you know what essentially nothing Amazon do this cuz you know how

1395
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:28,280
they they aren't they planning aren't they they're planning on preemptive shipment or whatever go up at your house

1396
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:31,639
and you just be like I don't want it it goes back are they planning that that

1397
01:37:30,480 --> 01:37:36,920
was like a when when we were talking about the drones this was something they were talking about okay well there okay

1398
01:37:35,239 --> 01:37:40,920
so this this goes so this is but then that's you know what it is no no so this

1399
01:37:39,599 --> 01:37:46,119
this is a whole other this is a whole other thing this isn't like like Sundries that you're ordering on a

1400
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:50,199
regular basis like toner this would be like you know the the suggested items

1401
01:37:48,440 --> 01:37:53,599
when you go on amazon.com they just start shipping you this stuff Stu so the

1402
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:57,080
outside of the box is just a picture of what's inside hey we thought you might

1403
01:37:54,960 --> 01:38:01,040
like this yeah if you open it then you pay for it yeah no that's the okay oh

1404
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:04,679
it's the if you accept the shipment or not they're talking about they're going

1405
01:38:02,639 --> 01:38:08,920
to try and predict stuff that you this was like a a theoretical possible in the

1406
01:38:07,639 --> 01:38:14,119
wave future this is while the Drone stuff was going on this was the Amazon crazy time uh but they were talking

1407
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:17,639
about how they're going to try and use their predictive model to guess what

1408
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:21,239
you're going to buy and just ship it to you well there you go that's basically

1409
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:24,599
the same thing if you keep checking something a lot a lot a lot a lot

1410
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:31,639
they'll maybe just like send it to you and then it'll show up that at the door free shipping and it'll just be like

1411
01:38:27,719 --> 01:38:34,159
well if you pay the delivery dude it's

1412
01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:37,880
yours it's kind of interesting I it's a commitment model I I would almost I I

1413
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:42,440
don't want to say that I would I would do it right off the bat but if they if they were really good at the prediction

1414
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:45,320
if the prediction was good not like this crap where viager ADS keep popping up

1415
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:50,239
it's like I don't need it guys would you stop trying to sell to me but uh it's if

1416
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:53,639
if they could get it right and they knew what I needed like okay we know that you

1417
01:38:52,199 --> 01:38:58,840
know Jerry goes through 15 rolls of toilet paper a day so he's going to need new toilet paper every Tuesday that

1418
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:01,480
would be cool if stuff just showed up and it showed up on a Cadence that

1419
01:39:00,159 --> 01:39:06,040
actually matched how you were consuming and using it and stuff like that would be awesome actually i' I'd love that if

1420
01:39:04,639 --> 01:39:09,000
I just came home and it's like oh man I'm almost out of milk and it's like 15

1421
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:13,159
minutes later there's a knock on the door and it's there or not a knock so much as a drone honking a horn or

1422
01:39:12,159 --> 01:39:17,080
something like that you know then it drops off that I mean I think it's cool

1423
01:39:15,719 --> 01:39:21,320
I I think it's cool and and the Drone idea I think is cool too but they just need to make them armor plated cuz all

1424
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:26,320
I'm going to do is buy 99 cent items then shoot the Drone down and sell the

1425
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:29,080
parts on eBay I mean this opens up a

1426
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:36,159
whole big problem though for companies that aren't Amazon that who suck at it

1427
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:38,440
that suck at it because if lonus Media

1428
01:39:36,159 --> 01:39:42,360
Group was going to get into the the just sending random things to everyone a

1429
01:39:40,440 --> 01:39:48,960
shirt it's just like yeah you probably want it yeah you probably so the idea is

1430
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:50,760
you would build in enough margin to into

1431
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:56,320
the product that whatever's Inside the Box that the idea is that you'd be able to

1432
01:39:53,960 --> 01:40:01,199
afford whatever collection service you need to be able to send after these

1433
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:03,840
people and you just turn this into like

1434
01:40:01,199 --> 01:40:08,000
pounding pounding people until they pay and then anyone who pays you send them

1435
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:11,239
more and more stuff I I think the idea with the Amazon one was you'd have to

1436
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:16,719
pay when it showed up at the door right cood that's even SM it was all it wasn't

1437
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:20,520
like uh you pay this later or brilliant cood love it or your credit card's

1438
01:40:18,480 --> 01:40:24,480
hooked up to Amazon so if you accept the shipment just goes Boop and just takes

1439
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:28,199
it the problem is that plays on people's curiosity really bad

1440
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:30,480
right shows up my door I'm going to be like I want to know what's in the box

1441
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:34,040
what's in the boxes not hide what it no that's my

1442
01:40:32,639 --> 01:40:38,840
model is where we hide what's inside this lus is crazy scammy not okay going

1443
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:42,800
to go to jail model Amazon's actual model is like this is what it is do you

1444
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:47,520
want it if you want it right now you can pay for it if not you can I don't know that mine's illegal I'm pretty sure I

1445
01:40:46,119 --> 01:40:51,520
don't think it's illegal illegal but I'm guessing your model is going to be somewhere along the lines of if you want

1446
01:40:49,599 --> 01:40:57,360
to see what's inside the Box pay $4 9.95 and they going to open up it's going to be like a box of half eaten Cracker

1447
01:40:54,159 --> 01:40:59,159
Jacks yeah yeah well that's what your

1448
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:03,119
box would have in it someone else's box might contain

1449
01:41:00,599 --> 01:41:07,400
candy L's box will be full of like the coupons that showed up in the mail the

1450
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:11,760
previous week be like here I don't want these this is technically garbage those

1451
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:16,119
are really good coupons hey let's start experiment two for one Let's do let's do

1452
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:20,400
a give let's start off with a giveaway where we send a box to somebody and then once they accept the Box there's another

1453
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:26,280
box inside of it with an address that they then have to send it to A&W coupons

1454
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:28,880
are a great deal yeah it it'll be like one of those Russian doll things you

1455
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:35,000
know we'll just get like 30 boxes together send it the first guy and see who receives the last box yeah it'll be

1456
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:39,000
awesome all right I think we've got like one or two more topics that we actually

1457
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:45,480
need to do before we end the show here so uh I'm I'm going to get on that uh

1458
01:41:42,119 --> 01:41:48,360
twitch is now funding and

1459
01:41:45,480 --> 01:41:53,400
selling games I actually didn't even read this article so hopefully you did

1460
01:41:50,239 --> 01:41:56,199
yeah nope oh um well there we go posted

1461
01:41:53,400 --> 01:42:00,119
on the Forum by caca DJ look guys what I know I know I know a few things it's my

1462
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:04,920
day off so it was posted originally on kit Guru uh twitch has started funding

1463
01:42:02,480 --> 01:42:08,440
games after the success of Twitch Plays a title called choice chamber emerged it

1464
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:13,719
plans to use player interaction through twitch and Advance the story via voting

1465
01:42:11,679 --> 01:42:17,080
so there you go anyways they needed 30,000 and it seemed they wouldn't reach

1466
01:42:15,639 --> 01:42:22,480
it so twitch stepped in and covered the rest of it which is around 15 grand so

1467
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:25,520
twitch does make a butt ton of money on things like Twitch Plays just because of

1468
01:42:24,119 --> 01:42:30,599
all the viewers that are watching it and watching Dem ad Impressions so this

1469
01:42:28,440 --> 01:42:33,960
makes a ton of sense for them is there anything else really yeah no that's

1470
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:38,760
that's pretty much it and they're in such a great position to do this they

1471
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:43,480
really are like so many people that are actively wanting and trying to oh my God

1472
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:49,760
what a pain okay guys we're back we're really sorry about that um Sorry's fault

1473
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:53,800
it's all sorry everyone sorry why do we even locally

1474
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:58,320
record I guess there's a good reason because of what just happened never mind

1475
01:42:55,560 --> 01:43:03,920
yeah whoa the chat is flying yeah people are people are raising all the dongers

1476
01:43:00,480 --> 01:43:07,400
in upset um okay so anyway I guess that

1477
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:10,840
was it for that topic sorry everyone uh

1478
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:14,599
last topic today why you might not want

1479
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:17,119
yeah it was $50 a $50 Project

1480
01:43:14,599 --> 01:43:21,280
Ara so I think we actually kind of talked about this already but anyway the

1481
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:24,480
original article was on slashgear and the idea is that even though Project

1482
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:28,400
R looks really cool there's going to be a few different sizes it's going to be

1483
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:33,480
super affordable check this out this is a prototype right here that actually has

1484
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:41,560
like spots for modules to kind of slide into the idea is that it is going to be

1485
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:44,199
so basic at least out of the box that

1486
01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:47,760
probably phone enthusiasts will give exactly zero cares about it at least at

1487
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:52,679
the beginning we knew this though we knew this but there you go

1488
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:59,440
um oh okay sorry I was catching up with you guys so that's that's the okay the

1489
01:43:56,840 --> 01:44:02,560
modular smartphone design actually I I would I'd buy one just to Tinker with it

1490
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:06,360
you know just be just being a developer I just want to play around with the platform unfortunately probably not that

1491
01:44:05,239 --> 01:44:11,599
much tinkering though because if you look at it it's like this is the CPU

1492
01:44:08,480 --> 01:44:15,080
slot which you can only have one exact

1493
01:44:11,599 --> 01:44:17,400
size for so tinkering is going to be at

1494
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:21,880
almost the same level as like unplugging and plugging in a

1495
01:44:18,719 --> 01:44:24,280
USB oh screw that I'm out turn off turn

1496
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:28,280
off the phone Slide the thing Slide the thing turn on the

1497
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:31,920
phone how much are they predicting this device will be like I mean comparably

1498
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:35,199
equipped to like you know today's smartphone like I don't just want a CPU

1499
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:39,560
block I obviously want like a camera and I want storage yeah yeah yeah there's

1500
01:44:37,239 --> 01:44:43,719
all those things too but it's the the the thing that I wasn't super stoked on

1501
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:47,760
was the phone blocks idea if you paid a lot of attention to the phone blocks

1502
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:51,040
idea the size of the blocks changed because he was like oh well you can

1503
01:44:49,599 --> 01:44:55,360
increase performance in this way like say you want a way better camera you can

1504
01:44:53,239 --> 01:45:03,159
change the size and type and style of the blocks with actual Project Ara it's

1505
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:04,679
predefined size slots right oh okay so

1506
01:45:03,159 --> 01:45:10,639
so there's there's a big limitation on what you can thicker but not maybe if

1507
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:13,040
you look at the way it rails in it might not even be able to be made thi and the

1508
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:17,880
another thing is if I put this thing in my pocket is it going to just come out as like a pile of blocks every time I

1509
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:22,800
reach in there to try to answer my phone like just I I don't sounds like mycket

1510
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:29,119
I don't want to be like talking on the phone or something I bump something like freaking CPU block flies out of it like

1511
01:45:26,480 --> 01:45:32,400
I don't know it's Google the first iteration will probably suck and then

1512
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:35,480
the second iteration will be okay and then the third iteration will be really

1513
01:45:34,159 --> 01:45:40,840
good it ever comes out it'll be like Google car yeah all right well I think
