nice it's the wind show
right man so everyone who's playing when show bingo out there
you're welcome free space you're welcome we didn't give it to him last week yeah
i know we were on time last weekend i got the least amount of like success
screenshots sent to my twitter last week of any other week because i think people
are used to getting that free spot oh terrible um so yeah we've had a really
interesting week can we do Floatplane news
can we tell people what's going to happen next week i want it to just happen
it's actually i forgot to ask you in our little meeting i wanted to ask you how
we were going to deal with it in terms of communication so is this how you want
it i want people to know you want to pre-announce i want to tell the people
tell the people but what if it doesn't work then they're going to know that we
told them what our plan was and that our plan ultimately fell through which will
be a huge surprise to only a very small percentage of them okay that's fair
well we plan on launching the what is going on here i don't know i just don't
even like no one's supposed to touch this set between friday you did
i didn't replace the monitor
i spent a while being like what is wrong with the satchel now i didn't replace
the monitor okay i just took the monitor
i did not actually put a new one there literally nothing so in my
defense you just said was actually not true right but what you corrected me
with was worse anyways uh next week
sometime on wednesday let's say definitely
by thursday although time zones so who knows but sometime on wednesday for sure
so if you check too early it might not be there but whatever
sometime on wednesday i just liked watching you freak out uh
we're launching the alpha of the Floatplane website meaning you'll be able to sign up for an account directly
through that website you'll be able to pay for it with credit card that's new
you won't be able to pay for it with paypal which is hilarious if you want to
use paypal you have to go back to the forum we're gonna fix that that will be
fixed braintree's being um
really good people in case anyone from braintree is watching we need to stay on
their good side yeah um
so right now just credit card um and
you'll be able to watch videos there you'll be able to comment won't be able to reply to people lol get wrecked um
that'll that'll come but yeah this will be the first time that you'll be able to
do everything on the new website you won't need form integration
you can just go there pay for a subscription watch there all that kind
of stuff so to everyone out there
who said that Floatplane was never going to launch because
um luke's an idea man and also it's a bad idea so that you know compounded the
issue in their minds yeah and also that the way that we recruited developers was
really dumb making a video and then publishing it on a tech channel super
dumb that was done by the way you don't know so in response to everyone who ever said
anything about that i got this for you right now
and demonetized it's good this is why we're on Floatplane that's
right this is why we need Floatplane yeah uh oh uh let's roll the intro yeah
we should replace my part instead of like clenching in the thing that should
be like flying and then like something goes wrong and then i'm able to land on
the water um
you know a good thought but no i'll stick to the chicken
to the designers you know
um yeah Floatplane the site where middle fingers are totally allowed yeah
it's completely because they're totally okay there yep nobody nobody's gonna
mind um all right so what what what what
do we got what do we got we've got topics technically yeah technology
topics oh oh oh okay so this is
interesting do we want to jump right into the Intel discrete GPU
or considering we're talking about flow plane right now we can just talk about what's on flow plane right now it's up
to you that later um up to you
uh uh uh sorry i wasn't listening because i was checking my notes i have i
have some notes from doctor cutress um
my my favorite writer over at a non-tech about this topic so i'm just going to
jump into it i didn't hear what you said and i'm sorry it's cool this was posted
by
the original article here is from tech powerup Intel unveils discrete
GPU prototype development yeah so it
wasn't that long ago that AMD made a
high profile hire raja kaduri AMD's
former head of Radeon technologies group um
but clearly so there's a there's a bunch of stuff
here so there's like there's like this
you got like a block diagram which is really interesting
there's what looks like sort of a mock-up of what a die shot might look
like like there's a bunch of what looks like very internal information
and a lot of people are extrapolating a
bunch of information about this supposed 14 nanometer dedicated GPU
and um so dr kutris actually proactively
because ian
do you really not you know believe in our fact checking to the point where we
would you know dig through all these diagrams and figure out the
misinterpretation that other sites you know might have accidentally made here
do you really not believe that we're capable of that i appreciate it because
you know thank you for covering our butts because we we were not capable of
that thank you doctor he proactively reached out because he
was sure that we were going to talk about this and i'm just going to read it
i'm just going to read it because he put it better than i could have it's like it's almost like he's a
professional writer or something maybe he's going to be weird just wanted
to poke about the Intel discreet GPU hullabaloo that's been going around this
week that might end up in WAN Show everywhere is quoting it as a discreet
GPU prototype but that is because of a slight misreading of the japanese
article source okay leave it to dr kutris to
figure to pick out the slight misreading of the japanese article
um while it uses Intel graphics the chip is
actually a test design for a better dynamic voltage frequency system
implementation applicable to a wide range of chips CPU GPU and fpga it was
done on a GPU core because it was an easy design on 14 nanometer to start
with the japanese article from which the translation comes
when auto translated does state that it's a discrete GPU prototype but the
author of who's very very well respected and knowledgeable goto-san clarifies
this point in the second paragraph by saying it was only a vehicle for what was actually being announced and tested
and the fact that it was built on a GPU was inconsequential okay so basically no
in the i don't know has it been two months since roger got hired until
no in the last however many weeks it's been
he has not built a GPU yeah necessarily yeah um he might have i don't know he's
kind of amazing but um he has not
and this is like some power and clock
management stuff that might end up in that GPU but might
not but probably would but might not it sounds like raja and whatever team he
has is probably just playing so so yeah there you go this is
yeah um like like it says test vehicle not a future product it sounds like
they're just playing around so let's go through our notes with all of that in
mind let's go through the notes that we had based on other tech is reporting
the first 14 nanometer dedicated GPU
prototype is a two chip solution the first contains the GPU itself in the
system agent the second is an fpga that interfaces with the system bus it's 1.5
billion transistors um so NVIDIA's gp
102 is built on 16 nanometer and has 12
billion but but keep in mind none of this really matters
yes because like it's not what it is at all yeah um and following media
speculation about the slides Intel has stated that they presented a research
paper exploring new circuit techniques optimized for power management and
actually you know what kudos to james he had it
right he had all the clarifications in here it is a test vehicle only not a
future product it does much to do in bold here you guys can see james's
notes credit to james good job james good job james good job james you'll
you'll you know whether you like it or not you'll have to work here another day
um because you're not allowed to leave actually wait no no james i have not
added james to my soul collection yet that's that's my internal joke um as
soon as people buy a house and get a mortgage then i kind of cackle and i go
like now i own you
see brandon brandon's listening yeah that's right brandon you know what's up
you guys know what i don't own yet
there's many reasons why but yeah but um i would like to to be clear yeah yeah
yeah so ha ha brandon
he says he hates me i'm just like in case the microphone didn't pick it up
we're just getting that out there i'd give you my soul if i wasn't an american have you been to brandon's place yet yes
super nice it is actually really easy did you notice the amount of like random
little storage hobby things
i think have you it's probably less than it feels like it probably feels like a
lot to you because i know your place has like none uh closet yeah and don't don't
give me that nun it has a closet it has a closet it has a closet that also has
the central vac and the whole no that doesn't count you can't put
anything in there i'm talking about under the stairs yeah i'm talking about
under the stairs is that where the central vac is oh yeah but that doesn't
really oh no that other one that's why yeah that's not fair yeah there's
technically closet doors yeah so yeah so compared to luke's place yeah but i
think brennan's gonna run out of storage but what i like about it
is that um brandon how much can i talk about your place
okay cool um so unlike other townhouses what's really
cool about it is it's a little bit wider so it doesn't feel quite as much like
living on a ship or like yeah like in a sliver yeah yeah
yeah um like it feels more like uh like
like the rooms feel more square instead of like every room had to be kind of
like like put in front of the other room and like kind of made it like maybe a row of
them um and and it even has uh it has
side-by-side parking yep which is sick for our townhouse it was it was
weird uh when i owned unit when i went to go park there that if you want to
park in the driveway you don't fit yeah but then there is also side-by-side
parking and an ins like a really nice garage and he's right next to the
visitor parking which is super cool it's literally right that makes sense um and
there's more coming in apparently there's like six more visitor spots
coming in soon so yeah it's it's it's pretty nice it's
it's pretty dope there's uh i like it a lot there's at least three different
places that you could put a barbecue and you'd be out there barbecuing you'd feel
pretty good about it so you know that's an important thing that
that is an important metric is it not
um someone randomly posted in here Linus
fact of the day Linus was born in western pennsylvania before moving to
canada at the age of five sure let's go with that yeah um nice so
uh so i don't remember where i was going with this but brandon's house is sweet
and i got to see it how did we get there uh i don't know i mean that's the beauty
of this show slash the the bane of this show
what are we talking about oh no you were talking about uh james and
capturing his soul oh yeah i haven't captured his soul yet yeah but i have
captured quite a few souls now i'm feeling pretty good about it
it's like you guys you guys can't leave me because you think about it like a
mortgage it is it's like
it's like basically getting married it's it's like i think it's like potentially
more hard yeah i think it's actually more difficult to get out of than a marriage if you
isn't that crazy now if we think about sort of the
traditional values of of marriage um it's not even that applicable anymore
which well no no i just mean but no look if we go back to back to the hole till
death do us part like let's focus on that part like if we call that sort of
the the the tradition of of marriage um
wow it's really eroded a lot to the point where like is it like 50 fail or
something i i don't i don't know what it is but like
we take a mortgage uh a car release like i think it's it's
pretty hard to break a car lease isn't it like you can't just be like yeah you
know um north shore auto group and i have
irreconcilable differences about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the
united states divorce wow to be fair that what is also in that
percentage is people that have been divorced more than once right so it's
not like yeah it's not so it could be one person
who's done it four times right all four of those goes in but it is technically
four different relationships like isn't that so like i was looking at some gun ownership statistics in the united
states i think they have more than one gun per person but i forget what they
call the mega owners yeah super owners yeah where they have like more than 100
each and it's like some very small percentage or something like that
so like mega divorcers yeah might i don't think they're gonna have
more than a hundred but like yeah more than a hundred divorces would that would
be in a call guinness that would legitimately be difficult to pull off
could you do it could you do it with unwitting women
without knowing oh my god did you convince me the worst reality tv show
like the actually the worst one
such a flag on society
that would be really difficult to be able to competition so if you and i went
okay we go we go and he's gonna be near to
200. we go to a new city every year okay
and the idea is to get married and divorced as many times as possible in
that year and you're gonna have to pull but remember you you so there's nothing
would prevent you if you're a devious enough bastard nothing would prevent you
from rolling multiple multiple marriages at once yeah well i don't think you can
legally be married to two people at the same time no so so you would you'd have
to like time gate you would have to manage it really carefully well because
you you'd at a minimum you have to do
two a year oh yeah oh yeah because the time span
that you'd actually be effectively able to do this yeah yeah at minimum at minimum and like
theoretically you're gonna have to pull more than that yeah
i'd watch this show i would i'd feel like a terrible i would
never tell anybody i watched no exactly yeah see i'm saying it now because it doesn't
exist but like playboy wars
that's a suggestion from uh av guy
oh man um
wow and you should have okay you can have two different shows going on at the same time because you should have
marriage wars you should have the guys trying to do it and you should have the
girls trying to do it yeah like guys versus girls you know what
we'd be at such a disadvantage i think so i i have to but who knows
like maybe not because it might be harder to convince a guy to marry you oh
oh and then there's like the bisexual and gay aspect right right
oh man where like you might be able to spend more because of how that community
works and like whatever else okay so
just to like not that it matters but both luke and i are straight yep um
answer me this if it meant that in the spirit of winning the competition
you know maybe a competitive ass go
it's it depends on see if we could i know you do almost anything you'll win
at almost anything yeah
especially if it's against you
if it's against almost like anyone else no
but if you knew that i was if i could see your numbers and you were like right
beside me if we're at like 90 and we're both at like 90.
if i've gone this whole competition and it just needs that much more to win
like i'd consider it oh man all right so anyway i'm already that much of a giant
jerk i'm trying to not swear so the yeah oh yeah you're a terrible person you're
a terrible person already um
what's one more deed that is against your
thing yeah i don't know yeah you're already horrible yeah so like
does it matter if you're destroying women or men at that point that's what i
mean yeah and like it's another lie so this is not a good show no you know i
don't know what the network is that does all the reality shows but if there's any
exacts watching don't do it please don't do this you know the crazy thing about
it though is is it really any worse than something
like the bachelor having actors on it yeah
well because okay if there has ever at any point been
anyone who participated in that show that wasn't purely an actor who actually
like believed in it because you know when they're going to do the rest of
their stuff okay so there was the one tv show in i believe it was the uk someone
could correct me on this where they had a talent search show that was fake have
you heard about that no and they particularly picked people that were
terrible and kept pushing them through and then i don't think they televised
any of it or something and then the very last episode they televised and had a
live studio audience and they basically told them on stage like you're horrible
and it was super awkward it was it was it's i don't remember the
name of the show but you can watch the last episode on youtube and it has a
giant dislike bar because everyone's like wow this is rough but like on stage
in front of an entire uh yeah that was called american
american superstar oh okay so it was an american show oh wow
that's yeah it was it was rough in front of a whole audience and they play like
her singing like uh it's it comes down to between a guy and a girl and the girl
wins and they play like a whole montage of her singing and it's
oh it's not good and then they're like yeah so we picked you because you are
the worst person in this category and they're like yeah we're still gonna give
you the studio deal but like come on
also we're gonna give you a bunch of money it's really rough
and like even watching that was like
kind of soul-destroying it's really it's really rough
wow okay um
yeah wow okay
uh let's go ahead and maybe do some tech news because like i'm just feeling kind
of dirty right now uh
uh okay wb superstar yeah i think that's it what is it
wb superstar yes this is it the wb's superstar usa
yeah oh man okay no i don't want to i don't know 40 percent of users liked
this show like it's it's not
all right the winner revealed here we go let's see
oh the like dislike is not as bad as i thought oh that's a shame okay so uh
here we go for some reason i can't find which retailer it's listed on the toms
hardware article doesn't say uh but this was originally posted by tx underscore
two underscore step on the forum texas two step ah
or transmitter two step could be that too um the coffee lake
platform is finally being expanded up until now you've been
limited to what the 8700k the 8600k and
the 8400 all high performance 6 core parts
uh wait i5 8600k oh here we go so there are
three new parts that are coming an i5 8600 like a 9k and oh is there an 8700
already there might be um there's an i5 8500 so an even lower end is this going
to be a six core part and then an i3 8300 apparently there's already an i383
50k you know what i haven't actually paid that close attention to it um i i
haven't been able to think of a very compelling reason
to buy coffee lake if you aren't going
for an 8600k or at least an 8400 or up because
um like i don't know if the 8350k already existed because
unless you were getting six cores on the mainstream platform you might as well
just go for kaby lake uh because the
boards are cheaper if you're not getting an unlocked chip you do not need to get
a z370 board what can i do for you
i just i just aj aj just posted in the Floatplane work chat saying that's why
i don't move you won't get my soul if you if you buy a house in quebec one
i hate you a little bit two that still means i own your soul
um okay so these are meant to be paired with the upcoming budget oriented h370
and b360 boards uh pro vantage is apparently the retailer also lists down
clocked t versions of all of these processors for bulk purchase
so neat in other news this was originally posted over on digi times auo
to begin shipping
8k tv panels in the first half of this year do
you care no i thought you don't yeah
you said it in such an excited like okay reproductive and i was like i don't
think i know but it's like okay
you know
so here's why you might care about an 8k
panel and did it okay
you sit here
reason number one you sit very close
reason number two you really like stereoscopic 3d
shut up and you want your stereoscopic 3d to be at 4k
because every other line would be effectively actually it would be a
little a little more because it would be um double the resolution of 4k
no half the resolution
it would be double the pixel count half the resolution sorry okay
reason number the third um
those are pretty creative number two i'm interested you really like
um high performance display scaler
technology and you want high ref shut up
high refresh rate 4k displays okay so those scalers will have to be
developed and built for these 8k tvs and eventually they will trickle down
reason number the fourth i'm trying really hard here um
that was that's pretty right you uh
you uh you want pixel densities to keep climbing
for mobile displays actually it's pretty different technology
so that was all i had one thing i want to complain about while i have a moment
here and we're talking about panels yeah is uh i've been holding off i don't know
if you remember like a year and a half ago when i was trying to buy a swift
really great hold on yeah hold that thought people are talking about the olympics like in 8k it's so funny
because most of the feeds of the olympics look like they're not even 720
yeah yeah the cbc feeds are pretty good but yeah i think they're probably about
7 20. um but they're pretty good uh
the yeah i wanted to buy a swift like a year and a half ago ish the new monitor
my monitors right now um will just black
screen for one to three seconds at a time oh yeah
randomly okay because they're dying yeah i've had them for quite a while it's
okay um yeah you've had them since like the ncis tech tips days yeah okay yeah
you got your mileage they're doing an okay yeah yeah it's it's a little early
i think but like it's early in the they lasted a long time range
so it's fine um but yeah i've needed a new monitor for a while because they're
black screening on me like pretty and i'll be the worst thing is like if i'm
playing counter-strike and the screen goes black and then i get flashbang and
you're dead well it's yeah because so screen goes black and i'm like crap i need to like
hide and wait for the one to three seconds that my screen is black and then
i come back in and someone's flashbanged me so i'm like first of all pure black
to extreme white now i'm just like oh goodness still can't see another three
seconds yeah just need to wait it's it's terrible so
anyways i've been waiting for that ASUS monitor that i saw at ces
not this year but the year previously the 144 hertz 4k it has every buzzword
you could ever want it's still not out i would be shocked if it hasn't landed in
the next couple months oh just that's i'm not going to say what i know
but i'll say that i would be shocked okay reason number
five okay everyone is making me say it pornography
actually that would be horrible don't do that
you'd have literally like three pixels to the width of every pubic
hair nobody is asking for this
nobody you do at a certain if you think you're asking for this you're not asking for
this at a certain point it's better to leave it up to the imagination to like
just a little bit uh okay and speaking of imagination i
can imagine that it's going to be tough for Colton to sign up to sponsors ever
again um

oh this is great i am so hungry right now
savage drink the box of jerky is so heavy i can't
lift it i thought it just ripped back again
i'm gonna have to pace myself on the maple buffalo bacon i had an entire pack
last week during the show and afterwards right you were munching on it afterwards
oh i was munching the heck out of that after the show what do you want this
week i'm down just want the traditional sure i'm gonna do the cracked pepper and
sea salt that actually sounds pretty good but i'll go something else okay uh
traditional sounds good just don't touch my maple buffalo bacon and we're good no
that's fine oh you know what i don't think we have any traditional oh there
we go oh in the new package ooh new package traditional perfect so savage
jerky their goal was to create a snack made
with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives that wasn't
bad for you but that was full of flavor and spice i'm like drooling right now
like actually really excited not drooling salivating but it hasn't come
out of my mouth so it's not drool yet i guess they've got 13 different flavors of
jerky some of our personal favorites are the maple buffalo bacon uh the moho um the i
like the cracked pepper and sea salt i don't think you're as big a fan of this one but luke loves the traditional i'm
not as into the traditional um what else is really good i think it depends kind
of like what what mode i'm in and then if
you have a fire hall that lives like in your mouth then um and you're into the
like really spicy stuff they've got all kinds of flavors for you everything from
carolina reapers to ghost peppers to
like truly spicy freaking jerky and they don't just
have jerky they do a spice rub uh they've got barbecue sauce hot sauce
i haven't tried their hot sauce i should actually try it i i love hot sauce
they've never sent us the hot sauce yeah they should give us give us that hookup
their carolina reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world so
go check it out at uh deeney.us
or apparentlysavageturkey.com yeah just go to savagejerky.com and use offer code
LTT there we go easy
all right so what else what else we want to talk
about today oh yeah this is kind of interesting full
ping um can we do this one first this is pretty
funny yeah i just don't want to forget uh this was originally posted by monkey
biz 0985 on the forum the original article here is from bbc.com
are we going to ignore the no let's just use the name because i mean it's right
here yeah kylie jenner is apparently
so over snapchat
and their shares tumble single-handedly
with evidently a single tweet
okay well
1.3 billion dollars was
wiped off of snap stock market value
after she tweeted that she is no longer using the app so a couple problems yeah
go ahead you go first i'm going to add a couple one it jumps right before the
fall um i'll pull that up
and it also looks like a somewhat natural pattern fall and there's bigger
dips here that's not even the main one but what's interesting about it is just
that it happens instantly oh sure yeah um also there's been a lot of doubt sewn
around snapchat for a while now and you can see they're trending down they're
super trending down like to be clear guys this is only the last
uh five days and like all of this concatenated into
one day like that's oh sorry that's almost a straight line too yeah um and
like marquez recently had i think he released a whole video
did he about like leaving snapchat or not liking snapchat or something yeah
let's see here can i talk about problem number two actually okay so problem
number two is like why do people care that much what this
okay you know what no i get it okay i cared about marquez's prominent
influencer isn't using a social platform your
snapchat 1.7 million views that's from uh two weeks ago two weeks ago no i know
but i'm saying there's been a lot of doubts okay so fine
so whatever you might think or not think about keeping up with the kardashians or
whatever um you can't argue that they've been
successful at exploiting social media
so if they are like not if so over um
snapchat then that does actually seem relevant from a shareholder perspective
problem number the last for me is why did anyone ever give a crap about
snapchat i don't get it
this is now i've disliked it the entire time this is now two platforms that i
have just not really gotten and i've had a lot of people putting pressure on me
because i'm supposed to be in the social media space these are two platforms now
vine and snapchat that i've just like not really gotten that have ultimately
ended up disappearing and i haven't had to participate in them yeah i bought
into twitter facebook and instagram not like i don't own chairs i mean like
i was like youtube obviously as well but like those are the ones that i kind
of went yeah okay i'll invest the time to bother to develop these things and
like learn how they work and stuff yeah um those two
didn't get it as far as i could tell snapchat's entire value was trendiness
and so it means that as soon as you're not trendy where's your value yeah and
someone someone in the twitch chat said nudes um and like even then that doesn't
really make any sense why you just send nudes by email like i don't understand
what's the special value well yeah well part of the idea was that it would
disappear but since forever everyone's known that
you can just screenshot a record of course um and if anyone ever not realize that
yeah really i think people didn't
but then that's volatile and now if you screenshot a record it tells the person
uh so now it like sends them a message saying that you screenshot it so now
it's just like kind of awkward
i think i don't know you're preaching to the
choir a little bit i've never liked snapchat to any degree
the only reason why i have it right now is my brother sends me random things
every once in a while because he prefers snapchat
okay and that's about it huh
how else am i gonna send my nudes says elusive soul
any other you can literally even send them through instagram direct messages
okay okay we've got a perfect segue into your Floatplane stuff citizen something
citizen iem something something does flow plane work in the uk
yeah remember that thing you told me today uh oh yeah uh
i'm gonna pull up what's on there and you go ahead and talk about that because that's pretty cool we have a viewer from
i didn't even know you read that message i thought you did we have a viewer from antarctica and it works
wow he had a payment problem which is unsurprising
but but it works which is great payment problem has been solved
yeah so we can see uh we can see a map of where everything oh no he just told
me but yeah oh okay well we can see that too um and it's really cool because the
audience is shockingly global it's very distributed yeah yeah um
which is cool and scary because we have to manage all of that what do we got
here oh there's some good stuff in here uh who needs more CPU cores
this is finally going up wow so this is kind of an explainer of
core i7 versus core 9 as you can tell it is sponsored um
liquid metal in a phone
is this the first uh i believe the
laptop is the first one okay yeah yeah so the follow-up the follow-up to liquid
metal in a laptop it's actually shocking i was gonna say this might even be more
interesting for a lot of people yeah uh the one-year airflow experiment the
stunning conclusion is apparently missing a proper thumbnail so i'll go hit someone after the show but that's up
it's done it's ready wow that's a lot of views
yeah um wow there's a lot of discussion too but
yeah um buying selling and safely storing
bitcoin mining adventure part four is up so we go through some of the uh wallet
options uh some of the exchange options just kind of help the whole twitch chat
is flipping out that we finally are releasing the airflow video finally
happening it's on proplane now yep you can go watch it right now compulab isn't
a brand that most people will probably have heard of but this product is very cool it is a
passively cooled small form factor gaming machine with a
gtx 1060 is 60 or 70.
i think it's a 1060. maybe a 1070. i don't remember it's really good though
um oh no that went up on uh that went up on youtube
that went up on youtube we're probably youtube range now i think we're probably yep yep there might be uh might be
something left no i think that's most oh um i don't
know if handy tech under 100 mostly gaming went up on youtube maybe it did
anyway oh yeah 120 hertz pc gaming on a tv still hasn't hit youtube so
the reason for that is that when we're scheduling
it's a lot easier to push something by a week than it is to push something
by a day so for whatever reason we have a simultaneous release that we have to do
on a day when something's scheduled it usually gets bumped like the same day
the following week and i think it's happened to that one toy
it'll come yeah it'll come
all right what else we got today
wow apparently snap ceo was paid 637 million
last year thought to be the third highest annual
package ever received by a company's ceo so this is in spite of them being under
pressure for instagram like taking all their key features and users
complaining about the redesign brilliant
um pull out as much as we can as fast as
possible i know right personally pull it all out personally yeah yeah um samsung
speaking of which the ncis auction was a lot of fun
yeah do you want to talk about that all or are we going to leave it in the video so there's actually going to be two
videos okay i don't know if people even knew that it was happening yeah we should so ncix had their bankruptcy
auction uh on wednesday and thursday of this week so i had gone in intending to
make one video but honestly
it would be like it would be a service yeah okay or that
we would have to cut too much or it would be too long and it's two different
days even and it is so it makes sense it is across two days i had also intended
for it to be like really structured here's some stuff we found here's some
stuff we bought here's how much we paid see ya
and what it really turned into was more like
me and ed digging around the warehouse and like finding relics like i found a
computer that i built that's what yeah in the warehouse yeah do you remember
the one with the flames airbrushed on it yeah
that still has the original build that i did in it like eight years ago
and it was just like sitting in a pile in the warehouse i really wanted to go
just for that kind of reason like i wanted to go back to the original filming room and stuff
but like i just i didn't have the time it was it was pretty it was pretty fun
it was sentimental yeah you know there was some funny stuff i'll get my
sentimentality out of the video there was some kind of sad stuff like i
come across like the box of sort of her stuff to work
with every day like her gloves and like um you know personal effects not
personal effects company effects but that like her box of like stuff that she
needed by your scanning station for like someone who is really nice and that
worked there a long time and worked hard and was a as far as i could tell a very
nice good person and just doesn't have a job anymore because of mismanagement
yeah so there was like some sad stuff um
there's some random stuff at one point ed and i leave the auction
and we go play squash did you guys film that yeah
i've never tried squash before which of course is a perfectly
legitimate reason to be playing squash definitely when you're supposed to be at
work yeah video totally um
so uh no one at Floatplane is allowed to absorb that mentality hooray all right
yeah you're moving forward so anyway it ends up being two vlogs
a vlog for day one of like digging through everything because that was when
they had the viewing time when you were allowed to go in and like pick through
all the different auction lots yeah and then part two where we attend the actual
auction um i tried um
you know what no i'm not going to talk about it um
oh yeah we should probably talk about ltx that's pretty cool that's oh yeah ltx is happening right um yeah so where
we actually go to the auction uh we we
you know do auction things we leave the auction uh we run into julia
um at um uh what's that cafe called it
starts with a z i think zias yeah we run into julie at zia's we talk about like
the stuff that people are buying probably being broken do you know what she's doing now yeah she's at mike's
computer shop yeah yeah she's like back on youtube so yeah there you go yeah so
um she was very uh she wasn't tacky about
it when when she well sometimes people will
go on camera and they'll be like hi yeah you guys might remember me from
ncix tech tips i'm with mike's computer shop now go see mike's computer shop no
she was very good about it so that's that's why julia gets the shout out for
being at mike's computer shop on the run show right now yeah yep yep good uh good
good form good form you know um
what did you want to talk about all right ltx so
yes we know we know ltx expo
is redundant um but like you guys go find a seven
character dot com domain i challenge you
that's right that's what i thought there's there's going to be a lot of responses
yeah people will just find like littlewhite.com they'll be pretty dumb
yeah so we got a bunch of information here
um i don't know if we have any partners yet so that's probably that's probably
empty yep lol hey Corsair's in
cool also oh this is last year all our partners i
told me he really needs to put that on another page but yeah that's really terrible or just not anywhere yeah it
just probably shouldn't be there or like it should be smaller or something yeah
it's freaking huge um yeah that probably doesn't make a ton of sense but um yeah
we got we've got partners we've got a map map and schedules oh that's coming soon
too this is a really helpful website so it's good that it's subject to change
because if it wasn't going to change and it was just coming soon forever then
that would be bad yeah okay hold on a second so here's an event
map coming soon but you can download it nope nope that just takes you back to
this page so it was built on squarespace but it was built by monkeys so it goes
to show you squarespace beautiful website but you actually still do have
to like it still looks good yeah it looks good and it's fast
gallery oh so here's a gal so a lot of people
thought that ltx was just like small or lame or whatever
and you know it was a little small it was a little lame but it was actually a lot of fun
we had an absolute blast last year so here's a bunch of the stuff from from
last year a bunch of the stuff that people could do this year not shilling legitimately one
of my favorite conventions in years this one is going to be
a lot more emphasis on the like the one piece of feedback we
got from people was that they could come in for two hours and
they could kind of do everything so the idea this year
is it's a one-day event and we want to make it so that it's basically
impossible to do everything cool
so every booth needs to have enough to see or do that you
can't do everything and one of the other things that this wasn't external
feedback but one of the other things that we thought that we needed to improve
was there there was a lot of stuff to do at ltx to the point where it would
actually take you all day if you were to try every carnival game
and yeah and and participate in everything but there wasn't much of an incentive so
i think a lot of people ended up kind of like crowding into a corner and like chatting
with each other or whatever else sorry oh yeah we could figure that out
anyway um so a lot of people ended up kind of not
doing everything and then we ended up giving away a ton of like prizes randomly at the end in a
raffle so this time cool there's gonna be like
mondo prizes for like
going on the bungee run or for throwing cases as far as you can
or whatever else the case may be and i think are you gonna do like the
explorer's pass this is that you hand in the explorer's pass for a ticket for the
raffle and the explorer's pass has to get stamped at all the different booths once you complete the activity oh that's
interesting yeah that's a good idea too i've been to a lot of conferences i was actually about to say one of the things
that we should probably do is also enter people just for participating in lots of
stuff so yeah that would be great that would be a lot of fun i like the combination of like
if you get past a certain threshold like if you beat like 90 percent of people at
this thing or whatever and at the beginning of the day maybe it's easier yeah Colton's nodding Colton's into it
cool yeah so it's good yeah we're gonna have a lot of fun so go to ltxexpo.com to get very
few details but you can get tickets though can't you i
think you can get tickets right now because i heard the like big tickets already sold out really yeah i think so
oh wow someone tweeted me saying that they're like
they wanted it and now they're sad or something i don't know is it sold out
dang okay so in a nutshell uh we can't really tell
you much about it but unlike last year where we were
pretty tepid on the lan show about sort of how much
fun it would be it's gonna be fun this is gonna be really fun
this is the tagline okay we can't tell you much about it but
it'll be fun trust us yeah we've got a much bigger venue this time um we're
gonna see rich man oval as someone who's gone to at a minimum one tech slash
gaming convention every single year for like
14 years or something yeah yeah um
it it feels a little bit more like some of the older ones did where there was
more stuff to do if you go to pax these days they're still really cool but they're mostly
like a spectator sport kind of situation where you're mostly just like looking at
things there isn't a lot of activity there's a lot to look at it takes like
two hours to wait through a line to play a game that kind of stuff what i really
liked about the last ltx it seems like it's gonna be a thing at this one and
you even mentioned like there has to be enough stuff for people to do you didn't
say c you said do it's it's fun because there's so many activities um like i
don't know if we're bringing it back but last year there was like hardline water
tube bending and like all this really cool stuff i think we're going to have a
delayed your CPU station see like that's freaking
cool so we're hoping to partner with the local retailers so the idea is that you
could bring your CPU and we'd have the tools on hand and someone to help you
or if you don't have one then we'll have a board and a test bench handy so you
can like buy a new one and we'll have hopefully a retail partner
so you can just buy it on the spot test it make sure it works
because you'll void your warranty instantly yeah um and then you could delete it and take it home and use it
that's pretty sick actually yeah so like we've got we've got ideas damn that's
pretty cool there's some pretty good ideas we could this might get expensive oh lord but we
could have some and people could buy it to use but we could have like uh free
geek cpus for people just to like
do it with probably you know what i mean we've got some really good ideas with
free geek um so you've seen the like
boxes and boxes like the pallets of stripped motherboard pcbs right yeah do
you know about this no okay so one of the ideas that we pitched to
or at least are going to pitch to free geek at some point is motherboard house of cards
and then over the course of the day whoever builds the tallest card house
out of motherboard stripped motherboard pcbs
wins a motherboard i don't know like we'll figure something out cool but yeah just like
cool so it would be kind of like you know what like science world when there's just like stuff the booth that's
just like a bunch of blocks to put together or whatever oh so you just kind
of walk up there's a little sign explaining what to do and you just go for it and there's just a boxes of
motherboard pcbs and you just you build it and you just call a free geek person
over and go like look how tall it is and then they write it and they measure it and then yeah cool right yeah that's
cool i like it yeah so that's the that's the kind of stuff that
that we want to do at it cool um what else do we have for topics today
what i really liked last year too was with a lot of those kind of things you'd
run into random attendees that would become like
like temporary single serving friends for the show because they met doing
whatever activity yep because they ended up being paired up for whatever reason
or they ended up just being next to each other and talking and whatever i thought
that was really cool that's a good idea Colton yeah what's up we should have
some activities where people are forced to participate like as a team with other
people there so that we like make people mingle
that's a good idea because that's what you need at tech events you have to force people to talk
to each other and get to know each other
oh geez okay more topics yeah i don't know this is
all kind of boring apparently apple is gonna refresh the
airpods hooray
we need that yeah uh okay so i got a i
got a google home mini and my idea was a lot of times when i'm working i'll like
think of something that i need to remember later and it's actually like
kind of annoying to do the couple steps to get into my phone or whatever and my
phone isn't very great at responding to okay google
yeah it didn't even though it's on it's just not i don't know why um so i got a
google home mini and now when i talk to the google home mini 50 of the time my
phone does it too so this is like the issue that i
have with them so there's a few things that are just kind of broken
on Android and just sort of in general i guess
here's one that really bugs me when i swipe away notification when i
clear all on my phone do you have do you ever have it happen
where your phone will just be like buzzing for the next 10 seconds because
it will like it'll re-notify all of you so if i have like 10 email notifications
yeah it'll be like 9 00 8 seven as it goes through them
and it's just oh mine will also refine them so once
you're fully cleared out it'll be like oh uh you have uh you have a few throw a
watch into the mix gets really annoying um
that's not great there was another really stupid like just dumb stuff why is it that google in
their infinite wisdom added mark has read to their sms app
which is super freaking handy by the way like when you drag it when you when you
just pull down the notification you can reply or mark as read why isn't that not
in gmail why is that not in hangouts
why is that not in literally anything else yeah because and this is really
frustrating on iOS on iOS there's no way to mark a text messages unread
so if if you're like me and you use red and unread as a way to track what you
have and haven't dealt with yet yeah it's just
why is this so hard i don't get it another thing with the
google home mini is i i made it play a
song just i wanted to see how the speakers were and then i was like it's
really loud by default and like the speaker isn't very great so i was like i
kept on telling it like i'm going to stop doing proper commands
but essentially turn the volume down yeah it it
inaudibly went down okay turn the volume down okay turn the volume down okay turn
the volume down i just kept doing it it was like not noticeably going down so
then i was like turn the volume down a lot and then it went to a completely
inaudible level of volume and there's no like there's no volume physical slider
or anything so i can't it's just voice commands i can't do it through my phone
it's just so i'm just like so it's blaringly ridiculously loud or
off is like my two but but not off
because it took me about 15 minutes to recognize like this weird buzzing sound
that i could barely hear was like technically music coming from the little box maybe just need better music loser
maybe if your music wasn't like crappy you wouldn't mind if you didn't even know what it was playing at that point
you heard me because it just randomed through google play music and with someone on some random song i had no
idea what it was people say do it by percentage
set the volume to whatever okay no 25 all right but then that even takes trial
and error because i don't know what percentage it's at they're helping us they're helping us okay
that's that's decent though that's not bad yeah it should be it should go down
a reasonable amount if you tell it to turn the volume i think tiz jester nailed it here or luke could just not be
an idiot nice thank you christian that's solid appreciate that yeah yep yeah
luke was luke was wrong luke was wrong 2018. don't bring that website back
the the statement is cool the website is not cool yeah it was bad yeah um all
right so i guess that's pretty much it
yeah everything else here yeah so pirates did pirate stuff yep with
microsoft's uwp protection yep samsung unveiled a big SSD but that is
physically small just lots of capacity hooray
utorrent there's a vulnerability that's bad that's surprising
lordy there's more augmented reality stuff out of google so call me in two
years yep um tesla is doing a wall charger but now
for your office which is like okay
okay um apparently it'll be free but you still have to pay for electricity
what okay also ASUS is launching premium gtx 1050
and 1050 ti graphics cards with 144 hour burn in quality control and
longer warranties aimed at land cafes
okay from my experience when it comes to like cheap products
it's usually it usually makes far more sense to just
like buy a new one when it breaks because by then the new one will
probably be better than the old one but whatever
so we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel
bye land cafe is still thing in some places
very much so yeah yeah definitely still a thing but like i don't see why they
would buy a more expensive card for it new website loop within idiot.com
let's do it
did someone already take it i don't know i mean
you're already there did i spell it right wouldn't that be
terrible misspelling luke was an idiot oh it's available it's available luke
was an idiot.com okay
luke will be wrong2019.com
and we're done here
