he didn't know what twitch is he's like is this sort of like dark website I'm just like no I explain to him the
concept of twitch and how I I I explained to him the context of twitch
and I told him about like hey some people are making like six figures just
playing video games and other people are watching so and he wasn't depressed by this by
the way we're live no oh awesome yeah John was explaining uh live streaming on
the internet to his dad who's apparently watching hi Dad so hi John's dad that's
uh that's uh that's you know it's funny
I for I forget because I spend so very
much time much time in front of the camera that like being on a show is like
maybe a thing yeah it's like a big deal to some folks still so yeah there we go
yes I was I'm taller than you and I was way down here who sits in this usually
Luke so yeah okay fair welcome to the W show you guys we've got a great show for
you guys today Luke is down at I so he's
working on some pretty cool content from the Intel extreme Masters and so I have
brought in my Luke substitute for the day
John who's going to point at you and it won't be awkward at all I
promise in other news we've got a bunch of great topics for you guys today
president Trump has determined that exploring Mars is not Grand enough no
he's going to have the best NASA the best the greatest NASA okay the greatest
NASA the best just the best so they're going to
explore even further than Mars probably he'll find a way to do that within the
four years that his term will last no question no question no question they'll
launch tomorrow the best launch uh
anyway be the greatest launch you've ever seen the greatest launch with the
greatest lunch you've ever eaten launch
and lunch dude Trump Stakes man at the same time Trump Stakes can't beat them
they're the greatest um okay so the new Macbook Pro speaking of the greatest the
reviews are coming in and it doesn't look good more MacBook Pro news the new
Macbook Pro outsold every competing laptop in just five
days so I guess that's pretty good if you're um Apple it's not
surprising I'd love to say nothing surprises me anymore it's official
nothing can surprise me anymore you can
make six figures game streaming and we have a reality TV star as our president
nothing surprising that's right your president the hour was not our it was
him hour for now for well have I talked
to you about that no seriously did I tell you that I
don't recall that I I I think one of I think one of Trump's moves could be to
invade Canada because realistically who would stop
him I think it's politically extremely unpopular we don't want Canada
politically unpopular yes but would anything stop Trump's America from from
Simply marching North and declaring Canada to be theirs he loves the
Canadians though I don't think he does I think he I think no I think he's happy
that all of the celebrities who don't like him are moving to Canada if
anything I think I think they're all reneging on that AR they of course they
are yeah it happens you can't just walk in I don't understand how people like oh
did I had I had to like get I had to
stack a paperwork that was like it was huge it was like look at it though what
did they look at it so I I hand it to the guy take he kind of flips through it
really disinterested he's like all right I'll be back in a minute and so and then
he gave me a fancier piece of paper and he said okay bye and here I am but you
can't just walk in you can't okay so our other our other major news story this
week more gamers are gaming on AMD
Graphics than Intel and NVIDIA combined
says a study from
gfxpeers yes but we'll explain what they're
talking about at 11 do we have the confusing flow chart to show everyone
yes we do okay yes we can lovely the
best flow chart yes we can you're dating yourself a little bit there my friend
you sure well no one else is going to date
me isn't that kind
of well no you're supposed to dat like you're supposed to SP yeah but like it's
not dating in the usual sense well that's why they changed the word I think
because everyone knows it's all a big
lie I am also married and I have no comment so yeah you know what I love you
honey the the married people are are
actually slowly taking over here so so
there's you there's me there Colton so
that's three of us now MH I mean we're still we're still woefully outnumbered
but um I think it's a matter of time for for Brandon I think it's uh I think
someone's going to up that Nick light character quick just a hunch just
a hunch someone someone's going to someone's going to I mean all that who
doesn't want all that again no comment well I mean my
wife has said to me multiple times this is exactly the same as when we were
dating except there's just like legal crap now it's like it's the same thing
so but then when you guys were dating you were in law school no I wasn't this
is like way after I graduated oh okay
okay okay yeah but you were trying to find a job as a lawyer so there was
legal crap it's a very different kind of there's always there's always Legal C
I'm just trying to find a techn technical way to tie the two together
I'll give you a six out of 10 thank you it's about as well as I ever do with my
wife so oh oh all right um let's do okay
no I promise this will not be the bittered mared married men bitter
married men show today it's like this is what happens when I bring you in instead
of Luke oh let's move on to our first topic of the day this was posted by hey
yo on the Forum the original article here is from 9 to5 Mac actually no let's
not do this one first Let's do let's do the fir let's do the second one first
also from 9 to5 Mac this one posted
by uh what's s what's her face
djd wsk 97 thank you for the username
that is impossible for me to actually say as a word um so here we go touch bar
let's check the dates on these three days ago touchbar MacBook Pro Models
have non- upgradable ssds seemingly undersized
batteries and uh so the reviews are the
reviews are supposedly not looking good
let's have a look uh ssds and RAM are both soldered to the logic board the
battery cells look comically small some
speculating that Apple limited their size to hit a weight Target with others
saying that this could be an INT itional choice to give the batteries room to
expand or limit heat buildup inside the
otherwise tightly packed casing perhaps avoiding a note 7 style issue although I
doubt that very much that seems to be a tongue and cheek tongue firmly planted
in cheek comment there a tongue modicon
like literally right next to it yeah so that's that's how I figured out that it
was tongue and cheek deductive reasoning very smart that's that is why that is
why I am a YouTube sensation actually don't think anyone
anywhere on Earth considers me a sensation I'm more I consider you a sensation lus thank you um is Canada on
Earth does Trump's Earth include Canada tell me I'm not a citizen you tell
me uh okay reviewers are stating they're seeing nowhere near Apple's claimed
10hour battery life The Verge reported 5 to six hours while Business Insider got
a more promising 8 hours under ideal
conditions 6 hours under normal use which is a shame because Apple
historically has advertised battery times that have been fairly aligned with
um real world usage even going after other companies for exaggerating their
claims quite frankly I have no idea what
anyone's battery life ratings are based on yeah like I'm looking at I have the
thing in front of me and The Verge guy says he he kept open Slack Safari mail
tweetbot and texted at Wasington the occasional YouTube video and opening
various Apple apps here and there for testing why thank you um so I mean yeah
that's a reasonable workload but L knows how they tested it in copertino or you
know how anyone else uses it so so this
news comes after Apple's claims that the lack of a 32 gig option was due to a
focus on power savings uh General
performance trackpad keyboard and touch bar are all considered positives
depending on who you ask I know there are a lot of developers that that are
upset about the removal of the top row
as a not okay and I got to be really clear about my wording here got to be
really careful um so a lot of people are saying there's no physical Escape key
while technically a touch pad with like
a spot on it is physical but it's not like a button you can physically push
down on and then something happens as a result of a keyboard actuator thing so a
lot of developers are upset about the lack of a physical which to be clear is
still physical it does exist in the physical plane of existence it's it's
not telepathy it's not spiritual yeah um but the lack of a physical Escape key
and um Lewis Rossman in particular is
the only person I've really seen this complaint from but is super upset about
the louder keyboard um I haven't personally tried it yet my MacBook Pro
is going to arrive in like Monday should arrive Monday or
Tuesday I like how you need to look at your watch for that cuz I was thinking
you're to say like two hours Monday I didn't know what day of the week it was
I W Friday W show come on I know I know
that like cognitively I know that but emotionally I don't know that
spiritually I don't know that physically I might know it yeah well this is been a
very taxing time for like my my chi and whatnot too but emotionally There's No
Escape eat Arby's dude like Escape because of the oh oh oh okay seven out
of 10 Luke would have caught that four out of 10 co-host well you know what I'm
sorry I'm not Luke I I try to grow a beard out it's it's itchy it comes in
patchy you know I tried you know sorry
you know there's more to the Luke package than just the uh just the beard
yeah it's like 90% that though um all right so I think this seg weighs pretty
perfectly into a short discussion
on our video about the MacBook proos
lack of a 32 gig option our much
maligned video video about the lack of a
32 gig option now okay John actually
wrote the video it was hosted by Luke but I also proof Reddit so to be very
clear I'm not going to try and pin the blame on anyone we all
collectively didn't consider or
missed that the reason so that the the
electrical traces connected from one thing to another thing reason that the
MacBook Pro 2016 only comes in 16 gig options or
less is that the Skylake CPU in it only
supports 16 gigs of lpddr3 on a single
Channel we all kind of collectively derped on that so we're sorry our
bad however that doesn't really change
any of the overall message especially in
light of the reviews for the MacBook Pro coming in um complaining about the
battery life so John do you want to kind of give us the top level summary of what
we were trying to achieve by investigating the power consumption of
RAM uh mostly that RAM modules are not
only small in size and not terribly difficult to fit in the mobile device
like a laptop um but they're also
typically um one of the lower power consum
components of any system whether desktop or laptop um if you watch the video
obviously we tested like a bunch of different ramp configurations in the Predator um we're using ddr4 S so dims
which are actually the same voltage as the lpddr3 that they're using in the
MacBook Pro was 1.2 volts and so it would take an engineer at Intel or
Samsung or Apple or something to tell us the exact
like milliwatt difference or whatever yeah they're not they're not exactly the
same but they do run the same voltage so you'd expect them to be similarish you
know so when we were so when we ran you know we we did everything from you know
one stick of eight to two sticks of 16
in the in the Predator there's only two s so dim slots in the Predator but we
did this and uh the differences while they were there they were quite they
were very very marginal when you looked at the actual battery capacity um the
difference between the most draining and the least draining RAM config it was
about 100 um millatt hour yeah it was about 100 millatt hours um about 4% of
the battery no matter which way you slice it so um in that vein we were just
the point we were trying to make was more I'm not sure that power consumption
is like the best explanation for this even have they gone with ddr4 even if
the power would have been like a little the power consumption would have been more of a concern it seems to me anyway
that the bigger concern would have possibly been space because obviously if
you put in the sodm you have the sloth there there's some additional bulk as
opposed to or even if you were to solder on 32 gigs of ddr4 that would still take
up more PC space and it is an extremely small PCB so like Lina said it was sort
of a team effort derp if you will on
that but um but at the same time it does
I still am kind of raising my eyebrow a little bit as Luke said in the video
about why exactly that design design decision was made so and to be clear we
are also aware that implementing dual
Channel memory versus single Channel memory may have also affected power
consumption absolutely but then back to John's point where the greatest Delta we
were able to observe testing different
RAM amounts in different systems was
4% of a predator battery a predator battery
which is how many because you could probably do the math because the well 4%
is 4% so it' be 4% of any battery 4% of overall power consumption oh I guess it
could be more no no no because we met measured it in mwatt hours which is like
a unit of energy so I think yeah so so it's not it's not that but it's more
that the difference between the lowest and highest was so little and it was so
insignificant that yeah so so in response then let's say let's say 5% to
cover our bases let's say if they had allowed a dual channel 32 gig option
that might have consumed 5% more power and let's say that that would have
added you know this much PCB space or whatever the case may be um let's say
let's say that was the answer it doesn't change the conclusion of our video the
conclusion of our video where we say
ultimately it came down to some kind of
manipulation of people's upgrade Cycles
or some kind of space saving
measure ultimately that is still the answer did we Overlook an important
point in arriving at our conclusion yes and for that again we are very sorry but
that really doesn't change that the reason this happened is not due to power
consumption it is part of an equation
that has multiple variables there's a power consumption equation there is a
performance equation there is a space equation and there is a heat equation
there's there's actually there's many many many many many variables so for
Apple to come out and say it was due to to power consumption it was to keep
power consumption acceptable is still a
ridiculous statement because that is not the entire truth it is a fraction it is
it is the X in an equation that also has y z a b and c variables yeah it it might
not be as good but it also if they put in ddr4 and gave you a 32 gig option
it's not like battery life would just Plum it so yeah it's it's a little bit
and there's also you also have to wonder if is it the same thing with the SSD you
know because you know part of the reason is getting a little bit hammered on the
reviews like oh the ssds are soldered on everything's soldered on and you think
about how big um an m.2 2280 SSD how
small these are well Apple managed to fit them in their laptops before there
we go yeah so you also have to think about that too you you arrive at the
same conclusion though is it space management is it trying to affect
people's upgrade Cycles I guess that's the nicest way you can say it but you
know I guess it's just a little bit unclear at this point so so basically
there you go right conclusion wrong
methodology lus Media Group okay um lus
Media Group we try yeah we we try we try
darn it please please look at us as like the
lovable tryhards and not the completely inept terrible people lovable tryhards I
hope you're not comparing us to like the Cleveland Browns L us uh yeah we do win
sometimes with things that we try to do yeah we we do win sometimes apologies to
any of our fans from Cleveland but yeah
kind of been a rough time for them anyway um okay moving on to our next
topic so this is also from 9 to5 Mac and
this was posted by hey yo the new Macbook Pro outsold every
competing laptop in its first five days
of being on sale so now to be clear the
the way that they arrive at this data is actually not not based on numbers that
are being released by Microsoft Dell ASUS Lenovo and apple because apple to
my knowledge hasn't shared any sales numbers of the new Macbook Pro yet so
this is based on um blah blah component orders uh
component orders and slice
intelligences something or other something something something I can't
remember I'm going to go back to my notes because that's where I have the
information that I'm trying to tell you um no no I read the article so I knew
that that thing okay yeah yeah here we go so it comes from the data comes from
analyzing email receipts among its panel
of 4.4 million online Shoppers so this is not by any means
comprehensive but it also isn't a completely insignificant sample size
with that said depending on how you obtain your sample audience uh like oh I
don't know say for example you get people to join your panel on exclusively
Apple websites for example um well obviously that's going
to affect the sales of Max proportional to PCS in your in your testing um in
your in your data um so we don't really know much about that but what we do
know is that in five days it achieved a
sales number that is slightly less than here let me just pull up this graphic
here it's cut off on the bar next to it which is awesome um so it is almost
double the D X PS 13 the newest MacBook
uh it is almost
quadruple the Microsoft something what is that it's cut off why is this cut off
that is that is just horrible like CSS I guess here we go so let's go over to
intelligence. slice.com here we go so the newest MacBook Pro is almost caught
up to the 12-in MacBook which was a I
guess even by Apple standards is now officially a turd um because it's been
on sale since April of 2015 it has crushed the Surface Book by
almost 4X it has crushed the ASUS Chromebook
flip which I'm really actually not sure what that has to do with the MacBook Pro
but it's a completely separate Market segment they're targeting sure yeah uh
40% Apple laptop buyers from 2014 14
purchased their next laptop from another brand which is pretty interesting I
guess uh MacBook Pro Shoppers mirror Apple watch early
adopters so 20% female 80% male those
all very interesting data I mean again we don't really know much about where
they get their data set from exactly uh their sample size is not comprehensive
or anything like that but uh there you have it um I guess a lot of
people fancy themselves Pros and uh bought a MacBook Pro so they can show
off how Pro they are very Pro when they pull it out in class nothing screens Pro
like the touch bar hey nothing screams like when I pull it out in
class I think we've all been
there you know what I want to hear from
I want to hear from you guys strouble yeah we got to straw pull
this okay so hey on the MacBook Pro 2016
okay
deserved and I'm actually going to get you guys to rate it on a scale of one to
five so five is the most
deserving and one is going to be the
least least desing bro um well you know what not all of us
are perfect you know not all of us are trained proof readers
aren't you also like our editor and chief I wasn't trained to do that you
went to school to proofread things no I didn't that's what lawyers do that's
like a tiny part of what lawyers do we we don't have proofreading class in law
school we don't do that well it's important to proof Reed and I'm sure
they cover the importance of it in law school I just figured you would be able
to type the numbers one through five in succession without much difficulty
perhaps I was wrong perhaps you were Li
is going be is going to fire me after the show is over with by the way so no I
don't have to fire you I can Deport you I don't think I can actually no you have
to get trudo to do that for you and he he would probably try to talk to me about my feelings before that happen so
jokes on you oh are okay hold on a
second is this really going to become
like a head of state Showdown well
because I will put Trudeau up against Trump any day of the week even in a fist
fight your head of state is Queen Elizabeth not Justin Trudeau that's
that's uh that's fair and I really does she know it anymore I mean what is she
like 110 I either way I wouldn't want to
see her M get into a fist fight I don't think that would turn out very well
she's kind of a badass lady cuz she sick the corgis on somebody she could do that
the role of corgis I had no idea she like served in World War II oh she was
like yeah what did she do I think I remember hearing about this she was a driver for like a something something
but it wasn't like it wasn't a purely cereem role things yeah there we go that's
actually kind of aw apparently her dad was Furious but it was just like uh yeah
like she's actually like way cooler than I uh than I thought yeah well I mean hey
let's see you be like still awesome when you're like a billion years old so you
know what's you know what's really interesting about the results for our straw pole apparently I'm psychic
because the least important option was the one I glossed over we didn't have a
two and no cares only 6% of the people
would have even voted for your two maybe the twitch viewers were just trying to
spite me it would not have affected the results of the
election unlike Gary Johnson and Jill
Stein okay yeah there's an argument that could be made for
that all right so there you go apparently most of you are pretty much
on board with Apple's latest Mac Pro pretty much deserving the hate that it's
getting right now with that said you know what okay we're going to move on to
our next topic but I want you guys to answer this next draw poll in the
meantime who knows someone who bought
one and I'm okay I'm not talking like
you watch uh a twitch streamer who bought personally know someone yeah you
have to personally know them you have to have you have to have spoken to them in
the last six months or like emailed them
in the last month or IM IMD them in the
last like two weeks or something like that I know someone who was very close
but they ultimately
Sher but with like a mouthful of mashed potato doesn't he always kind of sound
like he has a mouthful of mashed potato I think you read it fine lonus thank you
uh okay so this is if you're confused by
the end of me scrolling down this page let me tell you that I am uh firmly in
the same camp as you are it's pretty bad so Gamers fall into several camps device
size main processor type OS screen size budget time
spent The Gaming Community is so large that no single demographic can Define it
moving on lordy okay so okay we got your
PC then we got your desktop notebook and
there's a new category that maybe they'll add just to make things a little
bit more confusing I have that handheld PC that we're releasing a YouTube video
on very soon Windows 10 handheld device okay so then you got your discreet you
got your you got your onboard you got your discreet you got your onboard don't
forget to add external like if we just want to make this this chart
phenomenally yeah like a razor core something Razer core Razer core don't
forget about that then in discreet you got your mainstream performance
Enthusiast workstation um okay and you got your discreet
notebook mainstream rich media workstation I like how the differences
between these are just so obvious from this chart Enthusiast is missing I last
time I checked there a GTX 1080s in notebooks but I guess we're not going to
stress is that Enthusiast or is that like you know or is or is Titan X
Enthusiast okay and then everything ultimately makes its way to a display
gotcha we would hope the tears for gamer time commitment are light moderate
intensive and extreme okay and that oh hold on a
second um and then there's this thing
what so there's a semiconductor Fab
which goes to the discrete GPU supplier
which go to contract manufacturer
so this is AMD or NVIDIA I'm I'm going to do my best to make my way through
this so This goes to your TS and your um
uh like ASUS's and gigabytes of the world who actually take those chips and
like buy memory and pcbs and bolt them all together so they sell them to aib
Partners mostly so that would be guys
like your EVGA of the world um yeah Zotac no Zac's a manufacturer that's
right they they are so but uh Gigabyte and no Gigabyte is a manufacturer in
fact I'm actually really I'm just going off the rails today I guess there's been
a lot of consolidation in the um in the
in the actual assembly and
brand um space so it used to be that
there were a handful of Manufacturers your your foxcon and your whoever else
um and then it was like a lot of guys rebranding like The BFG texts of the
world uh but but nowadays A lot of them are more vertically integrated or
they're just kind of a brand name that
has a manufacturer above them so yeah
that would be things like GX for example
like GX owns manufacturing even though
the Galax brand itself is just a like a
a fabricated brand targeting North
America um for that much larger company
okay so uh some of them go to oems so
that would be your Dells of the world um some of them go to special systems so
there's your boutique Builders um okay from aib some goes to
distribution some goes to is direct sales supposed to be I
guess retail and etail well I guess if you're buying off of evga.com instead of
newegg.com that would be direct sales I think they mean
retail I think that's what they actually or maybe distribution channel is meant
to be retail well yeah cuz cuz cuz new is basically retail right so like if
you're if you're buying it off of there instead from epga side that yeah and
there's absolutely okay direct so they're saying 10% direct sales okay
that's problem so 82% so let's call that direct to retailer sales and distribut
Distributors like uh DNH and uh ingr micro and all that kind of stuff okay
some of the oems go to embedded in special systems suppliers wait so hold
on from special systems for direct sales to so is this supposed to be the consumer
maybe okay I'm not actually no cons because consumers are here yeah all the
the red is all going to Consumers after
like once you get to aib and then distribution channels some goes to
Enterprise but we don't have percentages for that some goes to government presumably they need graphics cards too
does not include workstation okay okay so the conclusion here is approximately
73.8% of all Graphics aibs end up in
gaming PCs which is a very interesting
conclusion but I'm not 100% sure that I
can um agree with that necessarily
um just because one thing that is not
tracked that closely by Enthusiast press is the sales of things like GT
240s I had no idea like back when I was
working at NC and I was the product manager for zotek um we weren't selling
a lot as Zotac um but it turned out that
we were like by far the biggest seller
of like the high-end stuff and at ncx I was also managing MSI and EVGA at the
time so I'm seeing like these huge numbers on things like you know GTX uh
680s or whatever it would have been at the time that I was still working there
um like huge huge numbers on like $500 $600 graphics cards and I'm sitting here
going yeah a very small Revenue number so it turns out you know talking to
people who know people who know people I'm not going to name any names I don't
want to throw anyone under the bus but like the kind of numbers that a brand like
Zotac um where they're basically Best Buy exclusive the kind of numbers
they're doing on stupid cards like GT 730s and 610s whatever huge like huge it
blew my mind I'm like maybe I just
haven't spent enough time standing in Best Buy by the video card
counter watching for people to come up and try and buy that crap so that I can
tell them to turn around walk away and to be clear like this is something a lot
of people got really confused about in the video that I made a couple years ago
called low-end this this video card is garbage no one buy it or something like
that I understand that some people just
need a basic graphics card because they're Onboard video died or whatever
or they want to hook up two monitors I get it the problem is that a lot of
these cards are like $70 $80 $90
when if all you need is an output you can get those for like 30 bucks that's
my point the point is they are priced
very close to cards that are legitimately good to accelerate games or
video editing or or any GPU accelerated workload they're they're close but the
performance is closer to the $30 one that's the problem anyway huge numbers
of these people buy I had no idea I was
completely ignorant of that um but let's
say for a second that their numbers are right let's go back to let's go back to the confusing article based on Steam
user data we conclude that 16.5% of desktop machines used for gaming are
using Intel integrated Graphics southeast Asia is apparently what
they're going based on represents about 6.5% of GL Global steam users steam data
does not differentiate desktop from notebook Graphics the same percentage to
Intel for notebooks and based on the AMD to Intel integrated notebook ratio
quarterly data collection of mobile integrated okay for the past seven years
the three major vendors install base for gpus for PC gaming declined slowly
following the PC's decline console data something something
okay So eventually we end up with GPU gaming Hardware Market 30 billion PCS
something uh consoles okay so basically the
conclusion is and it's um it's kind of a
it was kind of a it was kind of a clicky sort of
um thought experiment but the conclusion
is that when x86 based gaming is examined AMD is the clear winner and I
was kind of looking at that going okay I'll see where you're going with this
with x86 based machines falling into three platforms consoles notebooks and
desktops um when tracking equipment they considered the install base of the
latest consoles so the Xbox One the Wii and the Wii U and the Sony PS4
um and the uh blah blah blah Adam boards
for gaming um yeah so okay so so there you
have it PC data Intel is the this is the
conclusion Intel is the volume leader in integrated gpus and PCs NVIDIA is the
leader in discret gpus in PC which I was
not exactly a great mystery to anyone then when you look at X 6 as a whole
more gamers are playing on Radeon
graphics than Intel and NVIDIA combined which is not strictly speaking true
because I don't believe AMD applies their Radeon branding to
console products I wonder how much of that is uh PS4 and Xbox One I I think um
let let me see so this says um they
actually call it Radeon um gcn architecture on for the Xbox one so I
don't know I don't know if they put that they stick that on the box or Microsoft puts that
anywhere that's really visible to a consumer but that is what I've what I've
seen so um one way to find
out uh here we go oh yeah yeah the the the
um the shot of the uh the chip itself yeah let's pull up a shot of the chip so
is that it or oh well that's clearly not on an Xbox because it says Sony Computer
yeah this is a PS4 Apu so thank you
internet okay so no are they both
rocking sort of like well the Xbox one doesn't have an APU style sub does it
doesn't it like if you look look at the shot the whole board isn't it CPU and
then GPU somewhere else no I thought they were both apus okay I could be
wrong I don't know but yeah I I frankly I don't pay as close attention to uh
console stuff as I as I probably probably should and possibly could um
speaking of no yeah you're right yeah um speaking of consoles our PS4 Pro arrived
are you how's that going um well yeah um
we're going to be getting started on that uh very very early next week um it
should be quite interesting I appreciate you guys's um great response and
feedback for the um we did the Xbox One S versus $500 PC video um so we look
forward to um bringing you something else um worthy of your time for the PS4
Pro I'm looking forward to getting started all that pretty soon yeah so do you have any thoughts on um on some of
the some of the sort of comments on PS4 Pro so far apparently it runs much
hotter than the original PlayStation 4 and uh performance doesn't scale very
well does that remind you of
anything performance not scaling well and it runs hotter oh yeah
Crossfire dual GPU man me a second dual
GPU would you do it only if I needed to
only if I needed to only if like Define
need let's say that let's say someone had a gun to your family's head saying
if you don't put two graphics cards we starting in your system then we're
starting out with excessive violence I mean what is need oh so for me it's like
suppose like I'm walking down the street and I happen to find like oh here's an
ultra wide monitor or oh Lions is just giving me two 4K screens he doesn't need
anymore cuz he's such a nice guy you know so and if wow keep trying
if I just want I have no need for dual 4K screens
but anyway if if I was if I was in a
situation where I have some sort of setup in front of me that I want to take
full advantage of where I'm like oh well this won't be smooth unless I do the
Dual GPU then I would go for it but
again that's not something it's not something that I'm going to be looking
to do in my personal rig or anything like that so just not worth it yeah at
least in my opinion okay let's uh um let's actually
oh you know what we should probably do is get back to that straw poll that we
promised to bring everyone the results 133% for yes so 133% of our at that time
about 5,000 viewers knew someone who
bought one already so let's say let's say for the sake of
argument that uh let's let's do some uh
gfx whatever that site was called math mhm so five so so 300 million
it's actually closer to like 330 million right oh people in the US I think it's
like 320 320 million whatever let's assume let's assume there are 10 million
in Canada um okay there's 1 million in
Canada divided by
5,000 okay so uh hold on so hold on
divided by 5,000 so that means uh times
times 133% I've I've actually lost myself with
what I'm doing here here hold on a second maybe try again what are you
trying to do exactly I'm trying to figure out how many people bought
MacBooks MacBook Pros well there's also the fact that the 1 13% times 30 well
the the 133% of our viewers they're also skewed because we have a more Tech
oriented audience so they're more likely to know someone to bought the Macbook so Apple has sold 42,900 no 42 yeah 42 mil
900,000 MacBook Pros so far in the us alone the numbers don't lie you heard it
here first folks according to my terrible terrible calculator Mouse math
uh indisputable indisputable um oh you know what shoot
we should uh we should do our sponsors for the day are you going to do our
Squarespace spot today would you like me to no it's okay I'll do it oh well I
mean I put the thing on every time for fast you know what John you do it you do
the Squarespace spot okay if you're looking to build a website then check
out Squarespace you get 24/7 support live chat and email you guys love his
accent well I hope Squarespace likes my accent

a year you get a free domain um they feature responsive design your web scale
your website will scale to look good on any device whether a desktop laptop
phone um and every website also comes with a free online store so if you want
to sell things it's super easy uh you get cover pages if you want to set up
just a one page online presents those are super popular these days in just a
few minutes you can do that too and you can even publish content directly in
Apple news format now um You can uh you
can get a trial no credit card required and you can start building your website
today and when you head over to scores space make sure to use the offer code
Wan that's Wan get 10% off your first
purchase right there that's where it is offer well that's the URL but then that
yeah there we go um I actually don't think it matters does it matter if they
use our URL uh asked Nick I don't handle
the money I don't know but yes score space I
don't think they have a catchy slogan right now are you sure I don't know is
that just like find out our slogans are slogans just like too mainstream for
Squarespace now I don't think so slogans are never too mainstream do we have a
company slogan what's our company slogan I have no idea let's go to our
Squarespace
site uh oh oh crap we screwed up our DNS
settings oh no no no no no I screwed up
my typing settings well that was almost really
awkward I was about to say are we going to have to try a live DNS flush and then
hope that it works what we
do our
team logo designed at some point for the company as a placeholder but never
changed is that a slogan sure I think I
think it's fine uh we don't even have Channel Super Fun on here it could just
be our slogan could just be down the street from Tim Horton you know what's
the worst part one two three four five
six seven 8 9 10 we are missing
literally a third of our company yes 10 is clearly a smaller number than 15
yep I don't even need a calculator to know that so that there's that so
Squarespace whoops H sorry we're back so
Squarespace can't make your site
updated unless you actually do something no scor space does not offer a team of
riders unfortunately for your website you have to do that yourself but all
this other stuff yes they will take care of that for you all right and on that
note fresh books freshbooks is the easy
to ous invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional and
get paid faster and it's funny that that's my talking points because it does
more than just help you look professional to have a like a profession
professional looking invoice it's like it's about actually being professional
like billing accurately billing on time tracking hours tracking expenses um all
that stuff you know being able to accept deposits and then take the uh the rest
of it on your own schedule being able to see when the people that you're working
with whether it's um you know someone who's taking weekly dance lessons in
your garage or whether it's someone who you did a plumbing job for or whether
it's someone you're doing smalltime it work I always come up with the same ones
help me come up with something else what do PE what do small business owners do
um they need people to run a leaf blower
apparently at 8 in the morning when everyone's trying to sleep because that's what happens outside of my place
every Wednesday so if you run a small time Leaf blowing business there we go
then uh fresh books even if you're not a numbers person lets you keep track of
all that stuff and run a more efficient
business so you can spend your time making money instead of spending your
time figuring out money in accounting software that's confusing so head over
to freshbooks.com when claim your free trial today and take advantage of
their oh I actually don't know what the hours of it are well it's okay because
you can take advantage of the fact that they now offer a Mobile card reader oh
yeah they do have that no I was going to say take advantage of their text support
so you can just call them you can call their support staff there's no phone tree no return calls you just call them
ask them any questions you have and then uh go to freshbooks.com
enter when and how did You Hear About Us section to sign up for your free trial
no escalations that's pretty key like like let's escalate this to someone else
who doesn't know what the answer is like that's horrible I'm glad they have no
escalations you never have that happen to you like when you you call text
support for something and then they escalate to a manager but they also have
no idea what's going on oh I thought you were going somewhere else with that I thought you were going to say no
escalation so what that so if they don't know the answer they just hang
up I'm not going to ask stupid questions about the sponsor are in the sponsor SP
give me a little bit of credit it's more credit than I get oh more credit than I
deserve I think wow all right so
speaking of more credit than uh positive
come on forget Mars president Trump president-elect
Trump president-elect trump which is not the same um although he did settle the
Trump U I heard about that yep so he settled it for 25 million in spite of
saying he wouldn't settle it um and that
it was a bunch of nonsense listen to your lawyers folks Yep they're trying to
help you they're trying to help you um in this case they probably helped him
hold on to the presidency because settling was definitely the better
option here um forget Mars Trump wants
NASA to visit Jupiter's moon Europa and explore the solar system so that's good
but it's only talk until there's actually like a um you know check that
gets written but his new space plan focuses on promoting a private public
partnership as well as setting ambitious goals for NASA Trump plans to bring back
the National Space Council last in operation under George HW Bush with the
goals to explore deep space and encourage commercial Partners to build a
new economy in low earth orbit space
Council would be headed by the Vice President so does Mike Pence have like
space credentials I hope so I actually I had
read the notes on this one um space
credentials Mike Pence let's have a look
here well he used to be governor of in Indiana and that is a state that at one
point tried to set the value of pi to be
exactly three by legislative Fiat so that happened that was a long
time ago to be fair we've actually got a lot of Articles here for um missing
credentials I like how you actually Google space credentials
I said that in the worst possible way but you went with the space
credentials well I'm not showing off my Google Foo right now because I really I
really don't I really don't think he has a degree in astrology no it's I'm just
I'm just I'm just giving him a hard time it's it's it's fine and that was intentional by the way I know astrology
is not astronomy oh um I didn't even catch
that what's your sign lonus what's my
sign stop that's how you that's that's the
that's that's the counter to that pickup line what's your sign stop sign but I'm
not trying to pick you up how do I
know I mean it's not the first time that's happened on the WAN Show so you
know just saying do we have a chat with Luke about workplace
boundaries we need to have a chat with me about workplace boundaries we really
really do all right so uh the space Council would be headed by the Vice
President uh he also has plans to abandon climate research transfer Earth
monitoring funding from NASA to NOAA and
strengthen the US military stance in orbit so reminds me a bit of what Reagan
was trying to do with the SDI back in the80s like a little bit it's not not the same thing obviously though I
actually I I had I have never followed
um and you know what I think if nothing
else this is a testament to the
effectiveness of reality TV and the
incredible concoction more potent than cocaine heroin and meth combined that it
has turned out to be ever since Survivor burst onto the scene a bazillion years
ago um but I have never followed us
politics before in my life other than being vaguely aware that like Obama or
something was President whole change or something and he wasn't an old white man
for the first time ever which is surprising because all I heard was
Canadians follow our politics more than your own I don't know if that's true oh
I still followed it I I followed it more than my own um anyway
until Trump I had never really followed it now all of a sudden I'm like I'm
reading about Congressional races and I'm reading about what some weird
Senator and wherever the crap is stand uh was doing and like all of a sudden I
have like this interest in American politics um so I have no idea what
Reagan tried to do in the 80s and if you be if you want to enlighten me then go
ahead uh basically um so talking about
building stuff in low earth orbit um SD I the Strategic Defense Initiative it
was to have I believe weapons placed in low earth orbit to sort of counter the
Soviets everyone call it Star Wars so basically it's an episode of
Animaniacs re oh no U oh pinky in the brain pinky in the brain why did I think
Animaniacs wow I was think it's it's because it started as a segment on
Animaniacs and then it became its own show later on so um didn't know that but
thank you that was a great recovery for me you're hired again oh I see what you
did there because The Apprentice yeah um no I didn't oh oh well you're making me
I making you look great you're making me look like there's so many layers to what
I'm saying this is awesome let's see um proposed missile defense system intended
to protect to protect the US from Attack by Ballistic strategic nuclear weapons
such as icbms from the Soviets so this was this was like proposed back in like
the mid 80s um I think you know day taunt and all that was happening but the
cold war still going on and so Reagan was like hey why don't we just put
counter measures in space and um he was serious about it but I think the funding
wasn't there it didn't happen but you know but yeah so it was a little bit
before my time obviously but cool all right uh let's move on this was posted
by good tofu good to good tofu Friday on
the Forum the original article is from maxc console.com good tofu Friday which
sounds like um like an amazing like like
PlayStation superhero or something so at nmtw has tweeted out the
first picture of a PS4 Pro console melting down that is just painful after
a few hours of using it now the thing that makes my
skepticism helmet appear in my hand to
be put onto my I don't actually have a skepticism helmet so I'll bear this line
is Tech tips mug um but I got I need a skepticism helmet
because every AMD and Intel CPU and
anyway for like 10 years has had a
thermal throttling mechanism built into it that will cause the system to shut
down or in I don't know if AMD has this but Intel definitely does or in Intel's
case um caus the CPU to throttle so
aggressively that many of them can actually continue to run without a heat
sink on them I don't actually know if the current ones can do that but there were chips where you could pull the heat
sink off and they would run albeit very slowly with little to no cooling on
them um so it's it's actually been a
very long time since chips have had no
thermal protection cut off mechanisms
whatsoever and they usually kick in around the 100 to 105 110 degree Mark so
for someone to have had a PlayStation 4
Pro melt and I guarantee you that plastic doesn't melt at
100° I guess possible no no there's no
way I'm I'm sticking with that statement this plastic doesn't melt at 100 degrees
also for the air the exhaust air to be
100° the chip itself has to be hotter
than that because that's how thermal transfer works is it is a difference in
temperature that causes heat to move
from one to another one when we're talking about conduction that's that's
how it moves between them is that one of them has to have less than the other
that's how it works it's like equilibrium and crap it's a diffusion
same kind of principle I'm not a scientist don't worry about that part
the the fact of the matter is that chip would have to be hotter than the air
coming out of that vent although this
isn't a vent so the chip could be like a little bit further away but again the
chip would have to be hotter than the PCB that's bone that's
connected to the you know heat sink bone that's connected to the you know bracket
bone or whatever whatever's next to that plastic I don't buy it the last time I
had a component legitimately die due to
inadequate Cooling and we're talking like a CPU or a GPU an advanced
component that has like a lot of safeties and logic built into it was I
believe a 79 00
GT I want to say 7900 GT because it was
back in the days that I was still running uh MCW 60 GPU only blocks on my
SLI video cards and I ran the system
with no water in one of them somehow I I don't remember it was some careless
error and my GPU block
melted like and the card died that's the
last time that's happened has has this been um is this
uh what's the word I'm looking for has anyone really duplicate has it been
duplicated on mass this result of
melting PS4 Pros because people were claiming it's a hoax and I'm wondering
how many people exactly are reporting this you know because it could just be a
guy who blowtorch yeah exactly so yep I
mean you look at how explosively viral like exposing a
critical flaw in a hot new product can be you know you back at something like
unbox therapy iPhone 6 B gate that has got 40 bazillion views or whatever it is
on YouTube that can be a great way to get
super internet famous super quickly
um I've got people saying there are many types of plastic and some do melt at
about 100 degrees Celsius yes I know that I just don't think they would make a game console that does run hot out of
it if they make plastic like serving spoons you can stick in boiling water
which is obviously at least 100° C then
you know you think they could make something for the PS4 fun fact boiling
water is not necessarily at least 100 degrees C depends on atmospheric
pressure yes I know and impurities in the water I minored in
chemistry I know I'm just giving an example of why they a harder plastic in
laboratory conditions at one atmosphere Perfect Purity it wouldn't be at least
100° C it would be exactly 100° C
because no more and no less once it goes up then it's water vapor I'm I'm just
bugging him cuz I know he knows this stuff better than I do but I knew a thing and something he said was
technically not quite perfectly
completely explanative which is not a word and that's fine explanative of the
entire situation technically explanative the best kind of explanative there we go
a word entire twitch chats just like LMO Lin is trying to look scientific
explanative explanative is a word you win look at that really yeah check it
out expl D serving to explain there you
have it yeah
well I'm happy um that made my
day uh Warner Brothers acquires gaming
culture Hub that's optimistic
Machinima in a deal rumored to be valued at around a100 million why didn't we
just start an MCN why do we bother trying to actually create content why
don't we just Spam every single YouTube Creator and say hey we want to represent
you give us some of your money and we
will represent you I guess we wanted mentally and intellectually stimulating
work that could lead us to an exciting future of living in the Box behind
Arby's that's
stupid but I'm totally on board let's keep doing it um all right so Machinima
will operate as a wholly owned part of the recently formed Warner Brothers
digital networks group uh the group houses the studios digital and
over-the-top businesses Machinima reaches over over 151 million viewers
each month whatever that's based on
coordinates a talent network of over
30,000 um exploit sorry people they have
people in there wow go hold back tell us how you really feel Machinima this is a
quote Machinima is a strong gamer and fandom content and social brand with
enormous what does that even mean I don't why you think I'm laughing strong
gamer and fandom content and social brand fandom how do you you can brand
fandom content like I mean I kind of get what he's saying but it's they are a
brand but they're a okay in high engagement with audiences that play our
games and are big fans of DC films and
television shows what DC films are there you mean
Batman versus is anyone a fan of Batman versus Superman what do they have
besides Batman and Superman and I guess Wonder Woman is DC isn't she yeah she is
but I don't like is nothing it seems like Marvel has like the huge hype train
going and DC is like yeah we're here too
we were cool back when Michael Keon with Batman that was pretty cool remember
that is that your kerit impression actually yeah it's not bad that's not oh
that's not even 100% kerit that's just me doing like this voice but I I can get
a little I can get a little more Kermit very
good maybe I'll use this as an opportunity to try and get people to
watch that um Channel Super Fun murder
uh to try try to watch that Marty Gro murder mystery video we did over on
Channel Super Fun that that no one liked I do my Kermit the Frog impression in
that video I like how you got Dennis to play a lawyer that was fantastic yeah
yeah we we got Dennis to we got Dennis to do something in that video that's for
sure all right the HTC Vive goes
Wireless with a $220 add-on pre-order start start today
now to be clear I am not endorsing this
um is it going to kill the VR backpack
Market uh if it works if it works if it
works if it works yeah but and if it works I'm going to be eating my words so
hard I've been telling people I think we're like 10 years away just because of
Mostly because of latency issues yeah because of latency and bandwidth mhm I
mean there wireless HDMI does exist and
low latency video feed do exist but the latency has to be like spot on like your
your BM the I9 was it at CES earlier this year where you had you had the the
the rear view cameras and the latency was almost nothing yeah yeah it would
need to be like that it would need to be I should feel like I am looking out of
my eyes at a thing yeah um HTC's Vive
Chief in China though tells upload VR
that there is no noticeable difference in latency when using the tpcast
peripheral which The Verge said and I am
100% backing Sam bord on this is something
we'd have to see for ourselves MH uh
battery life is also a concern but grin says the regular battery can deliver
about an hour and a half of Power with a bigger battery designed to be placed in
user pockets coming
later so so it's going to be a little bit clunky but there's absolutely no way
is I mean if it works if it works there's no way it will be clunkier than
like a VR backpack solution here's the product um vive.com CN oh sorry so uh
tpcast claims it adds less than two
milliseconds which would be within the range of M probably reasonable so hey if
they pull it off I will eat my words and I will do it happily because I would
love to not have to carry the tether around and I never play for more than an
hour and a half at a time because like by then your like your face thing on it
yeah and in news that should surprise absolutely nobody I have almost tripped
over the cord once or twice while playing the vibe that we have here so so
I'm not sure if what I'm about to show
constitutes a violation of twitch's
terms of service maybe oh dear is this
thing isn't it so this was posted by Steve Grabowski on the
Forum the original article here is from
Kotaku um you know what why don't we just kind of how much can we shrink the
page to make it like kind of kind of hard to see like how low how low res can
we make this you could just put like a little thing on top of yeah why don't I
why don't I do that why don't I do that but if the point is is that it's not
censored like if the whole story is that it's not censored then it seems to kind
of defeat the purpose somewhat but you'll just have to take my word for it
or go Google it you know Google has lots of uh lots of naughty pictures on it I
heard or Bing yeah really I can't believe they would allow such a thing so
here we go watch dog 2 or Watch Dog 2
Watch Dogs 2 apparently managed to get this through
the ESRB and all the rating systems and all that but apparently has fully
modeled female vaginas on some of the
female uh models so this uh this
screenshot um apparently from swizzasaur apparently proves that there is indeed a
vagina in Watchdogs 2o now again getting
into more technicalities here um the
vagina would not necessarily be visible from the
outside because of you know labia and
stuff you might more accurately say fully modeled volvas because the vagina
is kind of an internal I appreciate your use of all the proper terminology I feel
like I'm in health class in like eth grade again yeah so what we're actually
looking at in that picture that I had hidden from you guys is a fully modeled
Volva with pubic hair not necessarily a
vagina um and we don't really have any proof that there are fully modeled
vaginas unless we also had like some kind of camera device that we could
insert into the female characters but I suspect that did not make it into the
well this said is slip through certification why do we think it necessarily slipped through like um well
probably because some Rogue artist or a
bunch of some people knew about it and some other people didn't so you're
saying so you're saying it's not necessarily on there or in the game on
purpose I'm saying that someone put it there on purpose well I mean well I'm
talking about when I say on purpose I mean by the people who have the final Authority as to what it's going to look
like um yeah yeah okay so anyway in
summary um kataku reports that if you
take a picture and share it to prove this on PlayStation will temporarily ban
your account which is interesting um so
Goron 2000 says how he discovered this I
received my copy of Watchdogs 2 on Saturday evening due to a mistake on
Amazon Prime and I've been having a great time with the game so far on
Sunday evening I accidentally blew up a few women in a back alley with a gas
pipe and then I saw it someone at Ubisoft had rendered a full vagina again
we don't know if it's a full vagina but definitely a full vulva or maybe more on
one or maybe more of the females in the game and he shared a screenshot and had
his PlayStation account banned from using the game's online features um due
to the image breaking Sony's code of contact despite the fact it's a game they're selling on their own platform
yes okay um all right so here's a leak from
Toys R Us toysrus.ca I I doubt this is
still up yeah no I think this is just
listed here because it's like the source or whatever but uh the the Nintendo
switch is rumored to go on sale at uh
$329.99 Canadian dollar which I guess we put it around
$249.99 us oh oh look okay look at that they do the math for 244 USD so but it
defin that it's going to be some it's going have a n at the end of it yeah uh
probably probably 249 GBP sorry sorry
Europeans and probably 249 Euro cuz the
conversion rarely works that way sorry guys um it's it's actually really funny
how Canadians whine so much about crappy pricing in Canada but more often than
not if we're not talking about like stupid kind of like Boutique fashion
brands or whatever else when it comes to electronics more often than not it's
prettyy much a straight conversion plus the additional Logistics cost that it
takes to get it up here and the additional cost of doing business that Canadian businesses go through like it's
actually Electronics pricing is not that bad it's just the Canadian dollar is
kind of all over the place have to ask is it suppose the cad reaches par with
our dollar again are the prices up here necessarily going to go down yeah it
happens I I I've heard that it happens with certain things or to different
degrees but not with others like it's not like this uniform so it depends yeah
um Logitech for example and this this so
going back to my product management days Logitech used to assign their CAD to US
exchange rate like once a year so back
in I think it was 08 when the Canadian
dollar absolutely plummeted um relative to the
USD Logitech pricing was like obscenely
expens or no hold on no was cheap yes Logitech was cheap and then it took them
so long to respond when the cad recovered and was actually I believe it
past the USD for a little bit um but they were basically par for quite some
time uh Logitech products were just way
overpriced in Canada and I took to sourcing them through the gray Market um
buying from us suppliers who were buying from us Distributors and then importing
them myself because it was the only way to get Logitech products that were reasonably priced so some manufacturers
make changes all the time and some of
them basically don't adjust like
um yeah so it really just depends it really just depends on and some of them
will only adjust if something really extreme happens and they'll just kind of
absorb it if there are small fluctuations one way or the other so
someone like apple might set their Canadian pricing today and then if the
cad goes up relative to the USD it'll be like okay great we made some more profit
on that woo woo woo um not to say that they that they necessarily will because
not all of Apple's expenses are necessarily in US Dollars that's something people forget is just because
most companies go USA first USD first in
terms of their go to market strategy and their MSRP that doesn't necessarily mean
that the costs in their supply chain are in US dollars so sometimes even though
the US consumer doesn't necessarily see this
they could be making more or less from month to month selling at the MSRP that
they've assigned yeah you've got a contract manufacturing is foxcon Chinese
or Taiwanese foxcon is uh Taiwan uh no
hold on a second I believe they're Taiwan based no crap they might be
Chinese based we can look it up very quickly hold on hold on hold on let me give a final answer before I'm China is
Taiwan crap so you have so you have
manufactur contract Manufacturing in Taiwan and obviously apple is not just
another tech they have Manufacturing in China oh I'm sure they do but you know
Fox's headqu in Taiwan but either either way but they have Manufacturing in Asia
and they're huge multinational so yeah there there's so much that goes on
that's not in USD so
yep uh this is interesting original
article here was from RS techn was posted by laws on the Forum the FBI
operated 23 tour hidden child
pornography
sites deployed malware from
them so uh this is so researcher FBI was
likely enabled to run half of all child
porn sites on the
servers a little creepy a little ironic
yeah and like to be clear they were still actual functional child
pornography sites they they upgraded them to make them run smoothly and all
that stuff like they they they you imagine the IT person that's tked to do
that as like their job that would be very very stomach turning to say the
least yeah as long as it's not the scene from South Park which turns my stomach
you know the guy who monitors the security cameras in the change rooms
with the big bottle of lube next to him what episode was this ah I don't
remember sorry um but uh yeah basically
they were they were acting as as a as a giant um lure pretty much so they were
using the SES keeping them operating so
so they were seizing them they were keeping them operating quietly and uh
then they were just using them to to track down people who were uh trying to
get child pornog it's like bait car but much more
disturbing that is like a very gray legal area though I mean the government
is running legal websites I don't know every single tiny
minute detail of that but I know generally um are you talking about like
entrapment or are you talking just about the fact they're actually running a
child porn sight to catch people no I'm not talking about entrapment because entrapments you have to be looking for a
child porn sight to find it yeah EXA exactly trapman okay do you want to
explain the difference you're the legal guy okay so um The General general rule
with entrapment in the US is just giving the like if you ever watched the show
bait car where the cops will they'll get a car and they'll leave it like they'll
take it to like a area that's like is high crime there's been a lot of car
thefts they'll park it in a parking lot around the curb and they'll just leave
it running and they'll walk away and they'll just wait for someone to come
and try to steal it and so um the person steals the car and they drive for a bit
but the the cops have like a they have a remote switch that can both kill the
engine and lock the door so not only does it demobilize the car but the per
can't go anywhere so they come in and make a very easy arrest and we have a bait car program here too and so you can
and the reason the cops can do this is because just giving someone the
opportunity to commit a crime is not considered entament entament becomes a
defense when um basically the cops
induce someone to commit a crime they otherwise wouldn't have but it's like if
you go to court it's a hard an example oh gez um that's actually a good
question because it's so rare that like entament defenses are very hard to like
get through okay so let's come up with hypothe a hypothetical defense um next
to next to a a f water store they
unleash a swarm of angry bees on someone prompting them to run in shoplift one
and SWAT the bees and then they accuse him of stealing a fly water like is that
kind of would that be entament then I'm no expert but I feel like that's that's
a heck of a lot closer to it than you know some of the other stuff that I've
heard people think that that that people think qualifies as a travin so okay so
yeah but yeah I mean e even with that question aside yeah I mean I can see why
they're trying to do that but at the same time it's like you know it would be
like I said it would be pretty stomach turning to be like the people from the FBI who are actually working on that so
anyway speaking of stomach turning AT&T
oh my God AT&T will be downgrading
mobile video streams by default next year stream saver which you can opt out
of will limit video to DVD quality unless you turn it off now let's hold on
let's get through all the facts here in early 2017 they'll turn on stream saver
by default the company says they'll let people know when it goes into effect they'll include instructions on how to
disable it um you know what I'm going to be really really unpopular right now and
I'm going to say go for it I actually have no problem with this whatsoever I
was going to say the same thing I mean to me if you are if they as long as they
make it clear like this is happening here's how to disable it they make it
easy to because a lot of people if they're watching on a smartphone let's
say you're watching about this distance a lot of folks won't be able to tell a differ between 480 and 720 to begin with
and it'll also keep you from eating up tons and tons of bandwidth there are
some mobile providers that are offering like free YouTube now where it doesn't
count against your limit or free Netflix but not everyone does that and that
congests the network overall when what this will do is free up more bandwidth
for me when I'm trying to freaking I mean I'm not an AT&T customer but when
I'm like trying to freaking load up a map like right now and I'm in a hurry um
I I actually don't see this as a terrible way to lower congestion now you
could go you could just say well AT&T should just build more towers and they should bu but what you also have to
understand money is that does cost money and like that is a solution but is only
sort of a solution because there is a limited amount of like airspace reserved
for mobile data Spectrum Spectrum we like don't actually have a ton left so
finding ways to make better use of it is
actually a good thing and from my perspective and it's funny because it'll
be the tech enthusiasts who are the ones who are perfectly capable of turning
this off who are whining about this when
I don't think 95% of people will ever
even notice yeah it's look at how long
the move from DVD to Blu-ray took people
and that's that's on a big screen people don't
really care and that didn't even fully happen and no and the thing it got
replaced with was streaming which
enthusiasts will defend all day streaming is great yes it is but it also
is not a proper 1080p experience
compared to what we we have the technology we have where you can buy a
movie on a Blu-ray and it looks a lot better than if you stream it audio too
much better audio so so I'm kind of looking at this going yeah sure I kind
of agree with this this um so there's that I'm sure
that I'm going to do another I'm going to do another ranked video or I'm going
to do another ranked straw pull um while lus gets that set up um dad sent me a
text and he were talking about this celebrity starting the mooves to Canada he was wondering if you guys can also
take back Justin Bieber uh
no absolutely not why not why would
we pump some money into the Canadian economy people who like terrible music I
don't know pump some money no cuz the people who can the people who buy his
music are still here still putting the money into the economy he doesn't have
to be here for that concert though he can perform here without
living here what about like Survivor Canada we can send Bieber to like you
know somewh the Yukon Survivor Canada
send to the Yukon man I think survivor's gone now isn't it I think it's still
going I could be wrong it's been maybe it was American Idol that was gone now
or something find out Survivor um
they're on Survivor 33 now we've had
that many good lord it's so many let's see wow yeah we're still going okay
never mind then the series was renewed for a 33rd season Survivor Millennials
versus Generation X which sounds like the most horrible horrible concept for
Survivor series ever debuted on September 21st 201 don't they all sound
like the most horri this sounds especially
horrible um so apparently I am not that unpopular now for my thoughts on the
whole 480p thing what's like the most of
the least like is one least unpopular I didn't make that clear
so so this is either like really good or
pretty bad I'm not sure well at at least
you know that they feel strongly about about you one way or another and that's
better than apathy thank you John I appreciate that
he pays me to say this stuff no I'm kidding um all right last article for
the day this was posted by dat speed on the Forum Google will soon ban fake news
sites from using its ad Network this cutting off their revenue streams this
seems to be a direct response to the election of president-elect Donald Trump
um who I don't think Google has actually
officially acknowledged that they have any responsibility for it and Facebook
straight up went nope we're washing our hands of this um but basically fake news
including uh a a Blog that had risen to
the top of Google's results for us election final result or something like
that claiming that Trump had won the popular vote that didn't end up being
true at all um fake news and inaccurate
reporting played a large role one way or
the other in the election campaign that
we just witnessed would it have changed the outcome if everything that was
reported was true I don't know I'm not going to get into that it's not my
problem but what we do know is that Google even if they haven't said that
that's why they're doing it and even if they don't feel bad about their
involvement or whatever else the case may be they are moving to make that less
of a thing moving forward um by cutting
off AdSense from sites that use its ad
Network fund themselves create fake news to get headlines to get traffic and pay
themselves for posting misleading information I do hope that will help and
also Facebook I think super super super
new act together because the Facebook trending feature used to be pretty good
they got rid of their human editors if that if that headline I remember was
correct um they got rid of them they replaced it with an automated algorithm
and the stuff that appears now half of it is just complete junk and it's it's
similar to what's going on with Google I don't know if you've noticed this or not
I'm not sure how much time he spent on Facebook but very very little I post
updates to the LT Facebook page and then
I promptly navigate away from the site TR yeah trending is basically it's
basically garbage at this point on Facebook and what's sad is that both the
stuff that Google um is trying to deal with here and also with Facebook is um
is it's just like these fake news sites it's usually one of the two large
political Echo Chambers and that and people will gravitate towards whichever
one suits their preferences and they get their quote unquote news from there so
um but if you don't keep a close eye on this kind of stuff you're not going to
know you know you're not going to realize hey Something's Happened Here
where these sites are they're adjusting their you know they're adjusting either their SEO or how they write headlines or
anything else to to get to the top of these lists and be taken more seriously
which is why everyone should watch The W show the world's only source of actual
unbiased news and updates TM okay and on
that note we'll see you again next week same bat Time same bat Channel thanks
everybody okay we're not
off not done I press the button
