all right guys so sorry for the uh slight disorganization getting things
started today we've had a bit of a honestly the 400 p.m start time is a bit
of a challenge it's hard to hit um people are like oh well why don't you
just set everything up and then it's already there when you get back and I'm
just like you know we only have so many cameras and microphones yeah
one we have
yeah one camera so when we take that
camera with us to shoot NC Tech tips on Fridays and when we go in early and try
and get all of our stuff done in time to be back in time to live stream we
actually have to Boll dude he like
playing with velcro straps over there people are like audio crackling I'm like
no just be roll no just be roll just be roll you know what you know I okay we
have a ton of topics today it's actually going to be a really good show but what
I want to start with is the level of holy crap what is wrong
with Linus's life right now because we are in the midst of a bunch of projects
so as you may or may not know there may or may not be some product launches
coming up very soon which makes a lot of sense because computex is coming up soon
we're gearing up for that we've been preparing that build guide that we
launched last night that apparently you guys loved which just warms my heart of
course but you are not going to believe
what my garage and what my house look like because we're also moving in the
next couple weeks yeah so there's all this stuff so check this out check this
out uh slick you'll have to do the audio because I'm going to be behind the
camera all right I don't know what are we looking at all right we're going to look around so my desk here that people
usually see on the set got completely removed because this is where the Intel
build guide actually was so we had to move my entire desk and everything over
into this corner which is where we usually fit fil Tech quickies and fast
as poss but then that once we finally moved my desk back can't also be used
for that because now we're using it as a photo booth oh yeah right here I should show
that so there's the photo booth lineus is showing now so we we made like this
little photo booth thing on the floor so we could take nice pictures of products
yeah oh and we had to have this white thing on the floor so we could do those pictures for the build guide the white
thing on the floor is the p uh when when we did the pictures the in the pre-roll
for the build guide where lonus is sitting there and all his cloes keep on Chang like crazy that's why we needed
the white on the floor so we could get a full body shot and the back background
was consistent I think he's going to come all the way around now here's the
Shelf where I put the model M which is
freaking awesome B rolles kind of hiding
over there there's some awesome Corsair showcase things that we're going to be
doing fairly soon holy crap Boll the lens keep saying
cannot execute function because of the condition of the something bad is
happening not entirely sure what that means that is really annoying is it
because of the aperture thing no it's normal that's when you press the control
everyone's very interested in what you're not doing right now okay well
whatever okay so then there's this this is our table this is the table that we
filmed the build guide on because I had to shove it over there and bring all the
stuff over there so I can keep on working and then here's the MacBook from
the Samsung upgrade your Mac there's the MacBook from the Samsung upgrade your
Mac video also on techi and here's just
a whole bunch of stuff that we can't really do anything with because we're
moving soon so there's no reason of to actually properly organize it just more
stuff there's b-roll and we're coming back so welcome
to the insanely disorganized room that is the entire Studio that is also known
as Linus's garage everyone's like die Mac
die that's why it's sitting on a very high unstable point it will probably die
we'll be returning it at some point so whatever of course we're not doing that
course wait what what what are you talking about I don't know um Honestly
though okay so you've seen my house right does this even compare to what's
going on at my house no there's like a bed
randomly yeah there's like the top mattress for a bed just sitting on like
the stairs between his living room and his family or his living room in his
dining room because in a video he had to
like push me and I had to go flying so instead of falling on the stairs I was
going to fall on like the top part of the mattress but then that didn't actually get put back so it's just kind
of sitting there it's just kind of there honestly it's amazing my wife hasn't
killed me like it is amazing I think if
we didn't have a plan to move everything out you might be dead I think that is
quite possible the only thing keeping you alive is that promise that it's all
going away soon yeah and that the garage
will be salvaged back and yeah we're really excited about moving it's going
to be kind of Awesome um so anyways why don't we start okay so
Steve doto Our Guest has been bumped again to next week sorry about that and
I wanted to clarify something as well last week we said The Big Bang Theory
had a laugh track and we complained about how their laugh track was stupid
and we were wrong Big Bang Theory is filmed in front of a live audience of
hyenas so honestly like I hadn't I
hadn't watched okay to be clear guys I love the Big Bang Theory I've seen every
episode from the first four seasons like at least three or four times love Big
Bang Theory do not like the constant laughter I was watching an episode last
night one of the newer ones and it's just like someone walks in the room and
it's like why it's not funny yet it's live
audience laughter one thing we talked about before was contagious laughter so
someone sees the person enter the room this is the first time they've seen that
actor they find that actor hilarious the person enters the room they start
laughing everyone else starts
laughing he did start laughing a little bit cuz you look
ridiculous there you go turns out it works so uh yeah so are bad but that
really still doesn't change how I feel about like laugh tracks because you know
what like okay here example of of a show
where it was filmed in front of a live audience but the laughter didn't detract
from it All in the Family oh God I don't watch TV you're so
young it's an old show it's a classic I don't watch TV oh anyway okay watched
less TV when I was a kid All in the Family filmed live amazing and you know
what I okay yeah you know what I'm not gonna I'm not GNA I'm not going to get
get into this anymore why don't we do a little bit of Twitter Q&A sure Logitech
g70 Plus versus Corsair k95 just a
comparison to the features not the switches
slick looking at you you take that one you want me to take that one it says not
the switches you don't even know the features do you that's why you don't
want to not really of the k95 okay well the the k95 has some cool stuff so you
can turn all of the keys on and off individually do you remember seeing that
at CES yeah so you can do your Zone lighting however you want um however
logitech's software is second to none
their gaming software is outstanding they've been working on it longer than
anyone else I mean that's another thing Corsair's has improved so much so much
since they first launched the k90 and the k60 but you know logitech's Logitech
um Logitech I mean they're both Built Well
I'd say if anything the k95 probably has a better build feel to it just because
of the aluminum back plate but honestly saying compare these mechanical
keyboards and don't talk about switches it's just sort of like wrong uh someone
says finally you shaved good work uh it's coming back beard is is not staying
away guaranteed beard is coming back also one more thing to note about the
g710 plus is there's black O-rings under the key caps that they don't about but
they are there and they're very nice and it makes it quieter and just sort of
more better oh it feels really good but they don't really call that out so just
the heads up because they're awesome my 3570k has hit TJ Maxx sometimes over a
few times at what temperature does degradation occur um degradation is a
function of temperature and voltage and
so basically if you're over vol to the point where you're reaching TJ Maxx I
can pretty much tell you right now your CPU is degrading in some way I actually
got a um I got a message from someone I used to work with at NC who is no longer
there um and he he was like oh yeah my overclock is not working anymore is it
possible that it degraded and I was like yeah it is real it does happen my
opteron 165 well first it stopped
overclocking as well and then it stopped working entirely but that's sort of
whole other thing but yeah degradation is real and it is best to keep it at a
reasonable temperature this is why when I recommend running Prime 95 and I say
you know what 85 degrees is probably fine it's because it's never going to be
loaded like that unless you're doing hardcore video rendering or you know
Graphics work and even then you render a job you output a job and it's done these
are consumer grade devices they are designed for Consumer workloads where
you load up a game if you're priming at 85° you're gaming at 70 I can tell that
much maybe not 70 but it's a lot lower and it's not going to damage
anything Rodrigo says first live stream and it's my
birthday uh you know who else's birthday it is the original NC cameraman so to be
clear guys b-roll slick Diesel and
cameraman are all different people okay so the cameraman is actually
a specific person not necessarily whoever's operating the camera so it's
his birthday tomorrow so there you go happy birthday original NCIX cameraman
got I get a shout out on my birthday on Sunday dude how am I going to remember
that by Sunday but shout out now shout out now yay yeah yay the actual date
doesn't matter that much hi from Paris hello uh I know it's free and all but a
simple sorry where late is in order um I did send out a sorry where late I guess
you're not following on Twitter he did message you probably just
didn't see it so Twitter is here Twitter
is free too free notifications for our
free lateness yes we are late for free
and we can tell you that we're late for free as well and what we'll do to make
it up to you guys is a nice free apology
we're sorry for being late today followed up by free videos followed up
by more free videos you know what let's do our first live stream topic um you
know what let's start with speaking of free things there's the free lonus Tech
tips Forum guys join it's free and
speaking of free things on the lineus tech tips forum free Far Cry 3 blood
Dragon okay so there's a few things like oh I didn't get it I didn't get it and
free freaking everything else because here's another random free key thank you
got it it goes on for Pages here's some more random stuff here's some random
free stuff you know what guys I've said it before and I'll say it again this is
the best community on the internet we love the community that's going on here
people are helpful and supportive and respectful and there are exceptions and
we're dealing with them but by and large it is the best Forum Community I've ever
been a part of and you guys should go be a part of it too yeah anyway I'm not
going to harp on it too much because we talk about it a lot but speaking on
things that we harp on too much EA did some good stuff yeah EA did
something good so I'm gonna let you handle this one I think you found this
article okay so they disabled online pass a lot of the only computer people
around might be like what the heck is online pass should I leave up he-man's
sexy bicep for everyone to enjoy while you talk leave it right there it's so
manly um okay okay so online pass
basically you got it with a game when you bought a console game um and it
enabled you to play online basically the idea was if you resold the game in any
way people would have to Reby the online pass um which was is like the most
horrible thing ever it's crazy and if you think about it if someone's buying a
used game they're probably not buying it for the multiplayer aspect or maybe they
are why not maybe they are yeah I mean if you're going to call a physical copy
a license then you better call it a license it better be a license for
everything that it is yeah but if you think about it EA closed something down
that probably means they weren't making a ton of money off it just to be
completely honest like I know this is something good that they did but just to be completely honest they probably
weren't making that much money on it so my idea is that when people are buying
used games it's months and months down the line so they're assuming that the
online community isn't going to be as big anymore online communities for some
smaller games like um and why did they sell the game in the first place if it
was a heavily multiplayer based title unless things were on the decline
yep I see so you had some examples where you've encountered this in the past did
you not me yeah no console I thought you
said your dad had to do something or something or maybe that Boll was that
you oh never mind it's I definitely have not okay well at any rate so so what
would happen is you'd sell the game and' be like hey hey now you have to buy this
thing to be able to play online so it was just kind of trashy no one liked
it most things with yeah um so yeah they
ditched it probably because they weren't making money definitely because stated
by them because no one liked it yeah so the article the article does go on to
sort of take a couple shots at EA which we've never really been known to do in
the past but uh basically blah blah blah I've been a longstanding initially
launched oh yeah this is on destructoid.com just so you know guys if you want to go check out the whole
article uh aha EA remains committed to
its other content plans including buckets of downloadable extras and the
packaging of games as services so let's
talk about downloadable extras are microtransactions going anywhere no or
are they ever going to go away they're not going away they're definitely going somewhere why aren't they going away
because if people hate it so much how is
it that game developers don't have to just stop doing it because people hate
it so much and continue to use it
right one thing is it makes unlimited
we're looking at you it makes an almost unlimited ceiling for how much you can
pay for the game yep and it so it makes an almost unlimited ceiling for how much
they can make on the game yeah
without being um subscription based y so you can
pay at your own pace so you know someone it's your birthday and you can treat
yourself to some armor or just visual yeah so it could be
just cosmetic armor so it could be a skin or whatever you call it in whatever
game um one thing that I think is crazy
is when things are subscription based and they have microtransactions because
then everyone that you have has a credit card it's kind of an interesting idea
because then you're not catering to all the people that will never pay anything
for the game you're only catering to people that are already invested in the
game and already have the means to invest more because they have a credit
card so I think that'll be interesting
if anyone can pull it off I know Eve does it to a certain degree but it's not
as heavy as other games do yeah so there
you go guys if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem if
you don't like microtransactions and you don't like same day download um
downloadable content and all that kind stop stop buying it it's like uh what
else what else can you really compare it to I don't know it's like uh it's like
complaining about EA releasing a new NHL game every year and like do you own
one there you go I haven't bought a sports game since
1994 oh oh crap no I bought one I bought 2004 NHL okay so I've bought two two
sports games in 20 years I used to know an EA employee so I would get them for
10 bucks so I'm part of the problem so I don't think I can you're part of the problem too you gave EA
$10 that's true so the last time I did that
was 2005 okay let's play him
alive back to Twitter before that was
Blitz for what was that N64 seriously
NFL Blitz this was amazing it was so much fun there was no like actual
tactics just like grab the guy closest to the guy with the ball and just Spam
hit and just a lot of people are going to get injured and it's going to be
awesome all righty there uh Jenny From the Block figures you're a regulation
hottie I don't even necessarily know what that means first time live hello
yay uh a 955 is going to bottleneck that
card yes I'm hearing and all I hear is
EA give us a chance we won't do anything to mess with you well yes
you sell X number of copies you need servers to run X number of games
sold game trades hands same amount of
server space used oh oh okay okay
Eduardo is saying that like yeah okay
Twitter 140 characters yeah yeah I think it's it's a it's a Twitter issue here so
so basically that there's no justification for EA charging more
because the actual load on the server is
watching on 120 I'm afraid to click this but I'm
going to do it I'm going to do it yeah whoa very nice that's Beast very nice
120 inch TV that's like
actually uh wow that's huge I think
that's almost four times the size of mine oh it must be a projector I'm
pretty sure that's a projector must be a projector pretty sure yeah okay which
isn't to say that there aren't 120in t TVs it's just that most people don't
have them and it doesn't look like one and it doesn't look like a TV that is
another thing that is a factor all right
so I don't know how to go go back in here but at any rate we're back one
second uh twitch chat does the screen keep on going black for you kind of
every once in a while that's happening on my screen as I'm monitoring twitch
I'm just trying to figure out if that's actually happening to everyone else nope
apparently nope apparently not so the problem is you why do you always monitor
the stream I want to see if it's live or not yeah but you know it's going to
affect our bandwidth right which increases the chance of it going down
see the one time I was on a different network that was the first time I did it
I forgot to switch this time any rate hi bro which case 200 r or Cooler Master
half they're very different uh for an matx board will
neither um get the new get the new 350d
from Corsair is there any way to implement a
classified section in the forum for used Hardware we're looking into it in the
future honestly and I hope you guys don't take this the wrong way but what
the way that it we'd like to implement it is so that there's some kind of
contribution back to the Forum with it so maybe there it costs a dollar to list
things we're hoping that this will do two things one is it'll help support the
Forum and two is that it will prevent spamming because the one thing actually
this is uh extrem system.org charges to sign up for their Forum at all now and
what they've discovered is that spammers are not willing to spend money they
won't risk any money to to and to scam
people and we don't want to charge people to join the Forum but we are
worried about people abusing the crap out of classi it happens a lot it
happens so much and it increases the
load on the moderation team in a huge way because there's always some dispute
or something and honestly the moderation team is probably too small right now to
begin with they're amazing but a little bit too small so and for people
wondering about becoming a mod we are moving the way I do it is I make
sure everyone is trained up before I recruit anyone new so we're currently in
a training process okay so let's move on to our
next topic here which
is yeah I'll let you cover this one as well so this is from the
BBC so this is good or bad wow this is
terrible this is pretty much terrible how can this be good who is this good
for if you hate Nintendo but I don't know anyone who hates Nintendo I'm hate
Nintendo literally don't know anyone who hates Nintendo it's impossible to hate
Nintendo anyways there's probably someone out here that does that likes
this but EA was just like oh yeah you're
not entirely successful
dropped wow so we had one good news item for
them one good news item yeah so the Wii
has sold only 3.4 million units from an
anticipated 4 million units so far which means it's uh not hitting it sales
Target by looks like what about 15 20% something along those lines so that's
bad and then uh on top of that in spite
of the fact that EA had launch titles ready to go for Wii U including Mass
Effect 3 FIFA 13 and Need For Speed Most Wanted they have completely decommitted
doing any they have said we have no developers working on Wii U titles we're
not precluding ever making another Wii U title but we're definely be these ones
and they're pretty major labels and so it was Battlefield 4 Madden and FIFA are
not coming to the Wii U and although
they've already made one FIFA game so I guess they're not just not continuing
with that not continuing with FIFA um
which is just wow I mean at what point does Nintendo
just go the Sega route and become a Game Dev start licensing Mario maybe Mario
yeah CU Mario's still in the top I think it's top five for bestselling games like
currently bestselling games so nintend and Nintendo does amazingly well on
handhelds that's another thing people are ignoring um there was a there was a
chart recently recently released there we go by I think it was uh
Ubisoft going like top 20 selling games
right now or of I think it was last quarter or something and Nintendo was in
there for Mario but nothing else but then it was also stated that if they
included Portables Nintendo would have been in their mult multiple times right
so Nintendo is still doing okay it's just not their console but here okay you
know what I'm going to uh I'm going to sort
of go on a tangent here sort of actually
no I'm just going to lead into one of our other topics which is that Project Shield NVIDIA's handheld Android-based
gaming console has a 720p screen um
supports some really cool features including streaming from a GeForce
equipped desktop located within the vicinity so it uses Wi-Fi to actually
stream the game play from a computer
that's being used to power it so you could run games on an Android handheld
like hawen that don't stand a chance of
running on a Tegra 3 or a Tegra 4 or a Tegra 5 or whatever kind of Tegra
because it's actually powered by a GTX Titan somewhere else in the house and
all you're doing is beaming the actual images to to and from the uh the
handheld device so with stuff like that coming down the
pipe so oh what was the what was the pre-order was it $449 crap I don't remember I can't
remember I can't remember how much it was anymore twitch chat help me out here
how much does uh how much does Project Shield cost so pre-orders are up for
people who have been following Project Shield what does this mean for handheld
if you could have with how many games are available on Android with how much
development is going to continue to be thrown at it even with like just
completely devastating project like oh crap what was that stupid console called
Ouya yeah like the Ouya even even though that was just an utter disaster it's not
like it's slowing down everyone wants
Android to be a viable gaming platform looks about 350 350 sorry yeah so that's
a fantastic deal it's not that much more expensive than something like a Nintendo
and 3DS bombed because 3D was not the
right technology for them to go for um but doesn't make a difference because
they're still doing great and one thing with Project Shield too is if you're
going to carry Project Shield around I don't think that's going to slip into your pocket a DS that bulky it's still a
controller it's not going to slip into your pocket if you have some sort of bag
any kind of bag purse bag whatever you've got it it's not going to slip
into your pocket okay that's true a DS will slip into your pocket I did carry a
DS light around with me for a long time until it broke it's doable there it's a
little bulky but it's still doable Project Shield is not okay fine then how
about this what about the possibility of
carrying around something like a steel series free which is that little Bluetooth controller and then a more
normal Android device like definitely especially like big phones like uh like
five years from now when a phone is delivering just an insane amount of
horsepower so here here okay couple things couple things oh this is going to
lead into another topic that I wasn't sure if I wanted to get into yet but um
okay so the Galaxy S4 beautiful device
awesome device the bomb cost so for those of you who aren't familiar the
bill of materials cost of a Galaxy S4 is
estimated by IHS to be $237 that includes a 1080p Amo LED
screen that includes a Snapdragon S600
that includes 2 gigs of RAM 16 gigs of
storage and you know an operating system
that is very viable as a gaming platform communications platform honestly the
sky's the limit for what Android can do in the future okay now think about this
for a minute the actual cost of a Galaxy S4 then obviously isn't in the materials
it's in the R&D that goes into it it's into the R&D it's in the distribution
it's in the software development it's in all this other stuff so ridle me
this is that why when you go to a cell phone provider store the Galaxy S4 is
$199 with contract and the cheapest
phone they have is free because actually
it doesn't cost that much less to make a cheap phone because you still have to
buy all that crap it's not like a 720p screen costs that much more than a 1080p
screen like it might cost half as much or or or twice as much for a 1080p one
but when we're talking $35 versus $17 or
when we're talking $60 versus $30 in the
grand scheme of things it's not actually that much so if everyone already has an
Android device that's as powerful as anything Nintendo can make and try to
sell you for $199 or $249 as a dedicated
gaming device what chance could they possibly stand when they have to do all
the R&D anyway they're not going to be able to be competitive on price because
people can get all this subsidized stuff anyway um they're not going to be online
because Nintendo apparently doesn't understand online gameplay at all no
just don't like at all I mean is handheld
even going to be a business for them in five years that's a very good point
because when you spend a whole bunch of money on the phone that you're going to
buy anyways and then you're in the store and you're like oh I should check out
one of these Nintendo jobbers oh wait I can do everything on my phone already
yep why would you actually buy one and would there be more money in it for
Nintendo to figure out how to microtransaction out something like
Mario Kart speaking of microtransactions would you buy a new cart for micro for
Mario Kart it was like really sweet if it's cool enough honestly maybe I don't
do microt trans that much but sometimes but once in a while if it's cool enough
if it's very iconic if it's something super nostalgic I might pick it up yes
like if they had like an 8 bit cart probably see yeah right like or like I
don't there's a few different things so maybe maybe Android will be a
possibility for Nintendo in the future maybe they don't do their own Hardware
anymore um they've always been known like except for their super old consoles
they've always been known for their titles anyways y yeah exactly I mean N64
was not a ground break freaking console Hardware wise at all not really um I
think we can all agree Wei wasn't GameCube sure wasn't Wii U Wii U is like
has a screen on the controller yeah uh I think we're a
couple generations of Battery Technology away from that actually being a thing
yeah oh this is not a topic on the live stream so I'll save it for next week
never mind continue um so anyway I think the future is Android devices I don't
know that Project Shield is necessarily the answer but remember we talked last
week about the Galaxy S4 Zoom which is
Samsung's camera with a phone built into it y rather than a phone with a camera
built into it what about the potential for a shield 2 that's a phone yep and
thing with Shield is what if it was a stock Android experience phone that was
also a gaming device with a built-in controller and could stream from your
GeForce graphics card would you buy it very possibly if it was slightly Slimmer
because okay the couch gaming experience even I'm a PC Gamer is still a thing yes
just when I do it it's usually super classic consoles on games that I found
at crazy retro Stores um but like I
understand a there's a ton of people out there that have DS's this is another thing that I'm surprised you didn't
throw back at me is a ton of people have DS's and they never leave the house the
reason why they have the DS is so that they can kind of move around within their house they can play it in the
kitchen they can play it in the bath in the bath they can play it while they're
hanging on the couch that is actually a huge use case for portable device is is
not actually leaving the house so my tablet never leaves the house yeah so
Shields will totally dominate that section I think so too actually it's
going to be awesome I mean streaming video to it you know when you're maybe
you're not playing games maybe you're on the can you just want to watch a video YouTube whatever else holy crap Shield
is going to be awesome it's going to destroy so and the ergonomics of it is
actually more comfortable than even for watching video I would make an argument
that you should watch on a project Shield not on your phone of course
phones are weird phones are not comfortable no not for not for like
holding like this for an extended period of time because also usually the screen
comes really close to the edge yes um I don't know if this it's probably still a
problem for you but thumbs uh not not as much of a problem for me mine are mine
are small but still often cover up a little bit of the screen have you seen
the Galaxy S4 it's the same form factor as the S3 right and it goes almost to
the bezel because there's almost no bezel on it because it's a 5in screen
versus a 4.7 in screen which is great which is exactly like what you're
talking about but then if you're watching a movie hold it like this you're covering up part of the
screen and like the speakers always suck unless they're like yours but even then
if you're holding it like this you're covering up the speakers I've had a lot of people tell me they think project
Shield's ridiculous and a lot of the comments on my Project Shield coverage
from CES would indicate that they felt like it was ridiculous I totally
disagree I disagree 100% And I have since day one I completely disagree as
well and I think once it's released it'll be fine I think part of the reason
is I usually bat for this team as well but it's a whole bunch of people PC
Gamers that have no interest in going and sitting on the couch mhm but if I
can play casual PC titles so not stuff that
I'm going to be playing most of the time when I'm sitting at my computer racing games but if I get a racing exactly if I
get a racing game or something like that that I would honestly plug a controller into my computer for anyways racing
games sometime action Adventures stuff like that I could just go lay on the
couch and play it on my portable and it unifies the experience because all of a
sudden instead of buying a game for my XBox if I want to play it on the big
screen or freaking like hauling my computer
down next to the TV come on guys put up your hand have you done it I've done it
see right which is like which is ridiculous I did it for like two weeks
once unifying the platform so you only have to buy the game once to have a PC
experience a handheld experience and a big screen experience y well that's why
I was so excited with um steam box which
is a big deal so so yeah that's uh
that's very exciting and apparently I have an email that's actually really important so go ahead talk about
whatever you want um we just finished a topic anyways I'm
going to jump into the topic that I was going to say for next week which is
phone technology I personally don't think is like acceptable at all right
now really I kind of think all phones suck this one yep what sucks about it
battery okay um okay so yes Battery Technology
is so far off what's going on you know what my first cell phone had about a
3day battery my second cell phone was a
Nokia that lasted for like four or five days yeah um and and that was with
gaming on it I played Snake nice snake was awesome yes but like what the heck
years ago and now constantly people coming out going oh there's there's new
Battery Technology it's going to make your phone last for a month blah blah
blah and then you hear nothing nothing weren't they talking about putting like
fuel cells in phone at one point they were doing tons of stuff and none of it
ever happens I don't want my phone to last for a day anymore right why do we
accept it because you know what it's funny because I uh that was one of the
reasons I held off on getting a smartphone was because even my
Blackberry sort of smartphone but like it was an older one it was like an 8,000
series or something like that so it had like a color screen which was a big deal
he still had like the scroll wheel it wasn't touchcreen nothing like that so
even that one lasted for two days two and a half maybe 3 days um and one of
the reasons I held off for a long time I didn't get a smartphone like a
touchscreen smartphone until iPhone 4 and so I held off because I was like
well I don't want to charge my phone every day but for some reason now I'm
used to it now I accept it and I expect
the actual technological improvements will not be made on batteries but will
be made on things like wireless charging so we'll get to the point where instead
of carrying around battery banks with you your phone has a wireless charger
built into the dash or your phone your car your car has a wireless charger
built into the dash your uh your room your bedroom has a wireless charger that
handles the whole room somehow and then your backpack you can carry a battery
bank that is a wireless charger just make sure your phone's somewhere near it
and you'll be constantly charging up your device they'll have to figure out a way to make them pair in some way that's
secure so people can't sap your power or whatever else but I think that's
actually where we're headed in order to extend battery lives to because if you
could be charging your phone somewhat or like if you dropped your
backpack next to a wall wart when you
walk in and it charged that and then you kept your phone in your pocket close
enough to your backpack if you're at school and it charged your phone you
might actually still be able to go days without charging your phone this could be an opportunity for a wireless
charging battery maker to develop a backpack and then sell the whole
solution the whole solution could be a viable commercial prodject okay so if
anyone's out there watching this idea um we want a 10% royalty yep just like
everything else we bring up on just like everything else we bring up on the screen because honestly I think it's a
great idea I think turning wireless charging into something that's all
around you as opposed to something that's like Samsung I think they want
like what they want like 70 bucks for it or something like that or 60 bucks for like the little the plate thing you put
the thing on it yeah for the plate I'm just like well no it's not there yet and
I know that there's a reason that it costs money because it's still expensive
but if we can get to the point where that technology improves enough that
your phone actually just lasts for days without you ever even thinking about it
that's probably the solution but like okay I jumped on the smartphone game
late as well as you I jumped in with an Nexus S before then I would have slider
phones I always liked slider phones slider phones are stupid but it would
last for like a week yeah but it's a slider I mean they're so flimsy all of
them not the one I had which one did you have I don't remember the name of it but
it was like seriously bulky I would throw it constantly it came into a lake
with me like the thing was a beast um I don't know if it was that one that was
just specifically durable or what but I I have one slider phone I guess I
shouldn't say I always had I always had slider phones yeah I 16 slider phones
because they all broke I had one phone before a smartphone I was never really
that into phones so I had my slider phone I had more phones cuz I'm just
older than you
y um but that thing would last for like a week I would barely ever charge it
every once in a while I'll be like beep beep oh I guess I'll leave it on
overnight and then it'll be good for week again speaking of battery life you know what ticks me off about Android you
know how um like your phone will buzz when something comes in the screen
doesn't turn on yeah it drives me
crazy so like my phone will buzz will be like cuz I'm used to iPhone with an
iPhone it your notifications are all there whenever a new notification comes
in that drives me absolutely nuts and I know it's bad for battery life like that I like that because I set up the LED
indicator on my S3 to tell me what notification I got you can change
notific ification colors in in your different apps yeah so I have different colors for
every type of notification that I've gotten so I always know I don't have to
have the screen tell me just the little LED thing tells me well I don't know I
like being because I get a lot of tweets and stuff so when something comes in I
like being able to glance at it see if it's important and then put it down um
although yeah my screen would be on pretty much constantly and there's
probably some app so speaking of Battery Technology wow we're like we're on a
segue roll today
because yes very good it's not a slow
clap that's just a one person I've actually made that joke on the live
stream before but you were probably sleeping uh so this topic right here
where did this go ah yes so this was a
community contributed news item and it
is the Chevy Vault turned into to a
whole house UPS so rather than recycle
old hybrid electric and EV batteries which can be quite costly GM and ABB
have modeled a prototype for a house/
small building UPS this allows batteries
that have not quite okay so uh it's from extreme Tech and the Forum member who
contributed this is old 720 so
this um allows them to create around a
whoops around a 25 kwatt hour
UPS which is capable of running an average American home for almost a day
in addition to that it has the added benefit of meaning you know less waste
and less cost in recycling it has the other benefit of um acting as
a crap blah blah blah blah blah ah yes
smoother power surge protection and protection from outages which is really
cool I think this is the smartest thing ever they ship them on a pallet so they
could actually lift them in for disasters oh that's really cool right
that's very very cool I was like this is like the smartest thing ever because if
you're going to develop this battery technology that finally someone's
developing some Battery Technology for something even if we're not seeing it
for our smartphones seriously so car battery technology this is like the
smartest way of using something that was at the end of its useful life cycle that
I've seen in a long time yeah Tesla's been making some pretty awesome waves so
uh it it would allow okay so you could use it you could use
it to power lights and rescue equipment and disasters you could use it in place
of a generator for things like events I mean imagine this instead of hauling
around like a diesel generator for something like uh a parade or something
like a video shoot if you could rent one of these
where they just drop it off on a flatbed and it's like got a day worth of power
you've got well remember it runs an average American house for a day right
so if you're running like cameras and like well if you have a whole bunch of Lights yeah okay right light okay fair
fair enough so you drop off a couple of them or or a bank of them for a shoot oh
my goodness that's cool right and they wouldn't they wouldn't make any noise
unlike what generators can do although there are quiet ones that are designed
purpose built for that but I don't know I just I think it's really really cool
do you know cuz I know um Tesla is doing the easily removable batteries now in
the car do you know if they're going to be doing something like this no idea no idea no idea although I did see my first
car charging station in Van uh last weekend it was at Guildford mall
they had two specific spots for uh for
electronic Vehicles that's cool they're colorcoded green they have little charging stations they ask you to limit
your stay to two hours um I I I was
someone tweeted me I thought this would be pretty funny you should you should
see if you can find someone with a Hummer and get them to park there just
like take a picture see what happens be awesome I have a buddy that has a vault
it's actually a pretty cool car yeah have you tried driving it I have not
driven it personally but I've been in the car quite a bit okay it's kind of
eerie it has a p a pedestrian horn have you heard of that uh yeah yeah I've
heard so it's not super loud so if someone's like right in front of you and they can't hear you you can be like hey
get out of the way because the car doesn't make really any noise right so
you have to have some way of warning people that isn't like the normal
insanely loud horn I've always thought that like car horns should have more
options like if there was a code like you know how road rage particularly in
the old days um and I mean mean like 10 years ago cuz I'm not that old but uh
when I first started driving you know what every speed trap on the road we
didn't have to rely on ways or Google Maps because people were courteous when
there was a speed trap the people coming the other way would flash their beams at
you come on where did that go why don't we do that anymore it's helpful jeez so
what now I have to have an app on my phone so I'm like this to find out if
I'm going to get oh I'm going to get a ticket for doing this now never mind that doesn't speed at all what what
um so I mean come on guys this is ridiculous you know what's funny I
actually only drive like twice a week now you drive twice a week on the
weekends yeah I'll drive I usually drive when the wife and I go somewhere anyway
um yeah so like yeah so what happened to
common courtesy and I always thought cars needed more ways to communicate
with other drivers because the problem with the horn is it's angry sounding Y
what about a polite honk like why don't you have a different option why isn't
there like a we should you should have flashable red lights on the front of
your car because red light won't make your eyes freak out yeah like
communication devices on cars and and I always wanted like it's one of those
things where if I'd had like money to just blow on absolutely nothing I might
have done it at some point but I always wanted like an LED array in the back
window so I could put up little messages oh my thanks for not tailgating you know
would that even could you get in trouble I don't think I don't think so should be
okay that would be epic that'd be hilarious would love that by the way it
must exist check out ls.com put it on the back of your thing
oh yeah than for notating by the way it
would be cool if you could actively hook it up to a laptop if you hate my driving
go complain about it on lineus tech.com it helps my website
traffic yeah be awesome someone says things like
that exist oh I'm sure they do I'm sure they do I just uh never I've never
actually seen one and I've uh I've certainly never bought one so let's do a
little bit of Twitter Q&A guys I know we've kind of ignored
y'all my Bolt news apparently dates back from November whatever I hadn't heard of
it so there uh different countries have different horns even on the same cars uh
that I actually have encountered I had no idea but what I want is one car with
multiple horns yeah uh what's up with the twinkie box on your wall uh it was
sent by a live stream viewer who uh I slick and I both said we'd never tried a
Twinkie so the viewer sent us a box most of the Twinkies are still in there so
we're going to try them again in a year to see if they're still good I was not
aware of this my dad wants me to build him an extreme gaming business PC with a
2 and a2k budget he wants a
3970x just get a c tell me to invest in Tasker yeah as if I have any
money what oh yeah
it's a cool app is it what's it do I don't actually remember I think it's
like a task manager for your phone I had it on my Nexus S but it's been so long
maybe it's a setting because Tom says his S3 turns on the screen vibrates and
does the notification LED Windows phone turns the screen on when you get a
notification as well yes that's true that's one of the things that I didn't
appreciate about Windows phone because I didn't notice it because I assumed they
all did that um because I again I'd come from iPhone yay Kyle LG Cosmos very nice
see they're kind of Beast and for some reason their batteries always lasted forever uh did Nintendo claim and place
ads in ah we're going to talk about that in the Afterparty John we are aware of
this uh so Nintendo has been claiming
monetization from game streamers who are streaming Nintendo games so we're going
to talk about it later later um while we're streaming
it I'm not going to say that while we're
wait what what no different thing different thing so what you're saying is
we have the technology yes Mario is the live stream again we going till we're
done I know some people have asked us to change the game whereas others have said
they love the game so we're going to do whatever we want which is what I want
and we're going to play that game we're going to play some Mario I love Mario
but I'm apparently terrible because I haven't done it honestly I'm up to the
part where I'm having a little bit of trouble with it too I think I took like four cracks at that Fortress already
I've gotten better A lot you're doing a lot better I'm not doing quite as well
but uh oh oh yeah our USB to SNES
adapter has hasn't arrived from Amazon yet but I have some really cool stuff
that did arrive for us from B&H Photo
Video should we do it now do what take
it over there no no I don't want to unbox now I'm just going to show them no
no no we're not no no b-roll wants to be there when we open them so why don't huh
I thought he was here why don't you cover this what here you go carry on
I'll be back okay what is this or should I do build
logs uh nah n S4 what is this okay so
Galaxy S4 is supposed to hit 10 million sales in about a week which means a
little bit under a month since release that compares to S3 selling about 10
million in about 50 days that's insane I
and for context guys S3 still is the number one selling smartphone
ever so so S4 looks like it's going to
be even better yeah which which is kind of nuts to me because yes Samsung is
doing a massive massive marketing push again
huge I read something like $410 million in US which is nuts
um but I haven't heard as much about it as the S3 the S3 was such a big big
debate the iPhone versus S3 debate was huge and there was so much going around
about it the S4 yeah there's a lot going around about it but most of it seems
very very very Samsung funded instead of organic so I did not think that the
sales were going to be quite as high but apparently they are which is just
absolutely insane this was from um
CNET um news at CNET if you just look up
CNET Samsung Galaxy S4 sales to hit 10 million next week um I haven't seen sale
numbers for uh iPhone 5 so I can't compare it
directly to iPhone 5's original month if
someone knows in twitch chat if you could fire that in twitch chat we can
compare because S4 seems like it's just
going to smash also people that bought an S4 I don't know if this is here give
me one second
guys I actually don't see it but there's going to be an S4 that is going to be
updated by Google instead of Samsung uh that is on the Play store which is
really interesting I think it's $600 $649 for an S4 on the Play Store where
you get your updates from Google and I believe it's unlocked so that's
interesting um that's actually quite intriguing cuz that's not that much
money realistically a lot of the times they're around 900 for a new fancy phone
and and updated by Google is a huge thing because that brings back my love
for Nexus because Nexus I had my Nexus S
and that thing would always get new updates the second Google was done with them so that was
awesome oh my goodness all the things yeah you can go this way Oh I thought
you could go that way oh that hurt okay so I haven't seen any of this
stuff yeah we got some pretty cool stuff in the mail from B&H so we uh we're
upgrading our gear once again if you guys have seen seen uh some of the
latest videos we've done so if you're not already subscribed to Techquickie
go subscribe now because we have a hilarious video on there at least I
think it's funny um about how to upgrade your Mac with a Samsung SSD funny yeah
is it funny okay good I think it's funny um anyway so we want to continue to
improve our production value so we've got a few different things here that are
going to help us and guys when I say improve our production values I mean
when it's not slick or me operating the camera cuz we know we suck it's fine we
get it um so check this out we got a
syonic light Master Pro which is a light
meter apparently b-roll and Diesel
insisted I had to buy one of these it's like 500 bucks so what this allows you
to do is do more than just eyeball the lighting when you're when you're setting
up a shot but this allows you to actually empirically measure the light
in different places so you can make things look more better supposedly if
they don't end up using this like I'll fire them both because yeah they we have
that thing now so ins to do so insistent
we also got this which is extremely exciting this is the small HD ac7 so
right now our camera has this little Eeny weeny little display on it that is
just not acceptable so hard to use and
it's ergonomic it's an ergonomic nightmare oh yeah because the camera is
heavy particularly with the lens on it and then like the screens like up here
at the back and it can turn to the side and that's it it's not on an
articulating ARM or anything like that so unless you're holding the camera like
in front of you like this somehow because you're made of magic or you have
like a steady cam vest or something like that it is completely horrible you can't
shoulder mount it because you can't see it it's behind you so the small HD
is we going to take it out I'm just going to I'm just going to look at it
watch it hit that box and slide a no no no it's all good it's all good so the
small HD is a 7in screen there's an OLED version but we didn't get that one that
actually has some diagnostic stuff built in and is going to allow us to mount it
to an ARM so you can see it has Universal mounting here so that you can
shoulder Mount the camera and have the screen stick out in front of you so you
can actually see what you're doing the other thing about the screen now is it's so small it's really hard for us to
figure out if things are in Focus or not while we're filming it's almost
impossible so this uses component HDMI
inputs as well I think there's one more yeah it has oh oh it looks like we
didn't get the SDI version oh yeah I think that one cost extra um our camera
supports SDI but like yeah whatever this
the other one was more expensive and there's no real difference in image quality as far as we could tell so there
you go we got a small HD which we are extremely excited about and there's
probably a bunch of exposure assists and all kinds of cool stuff my phone's
ringing right now it's probably b-roll raging at me for opening it without him
all right so what else we got just keep on trucking up shoulder rig oh
I'm so excited for this so we got an fs700 shooter which has a counterweight
so that when you mount the camera on your shoulder it sits evenly rather than
just like hanging all the weight on your arms which is what we did at CES so we
got this for computex this was a
grand yeah camera equipment is
ridiculous it's criminal how much this
stuff costs if you can see and see things and you want to make all the
money yes make very basic camera equipment
very Niche camera equipment be like the one guy who makes the weird adapter for
like the one camera and get all the money buckets of money and like all
these companies can afford to go to like these massive trade shows and show off
their like stupid adapter that you're just like okay yeah I guess I mean look
at this look at this I mean this is the level of sort of like professional and
this is a pretty well-regarded brand this is zudo it comes with like
paper inside like that's how it's packed it's in bubble wrap like it's like dudes
in their garages it's like water cooling basically whoa there's the counter
weights cool those are heavy um see but
like they're just weights I know here's
an instruction is going to be so upset cuz we're totally taking this out now
okay we are taking this one out but I wasn't planning to do an unboxing video of this one anyway so so anyway so
there's that and then last but not least for improving our audio quality yet
again not not levels just quality this is a blimp and I had no idea they were
this big so this covers your microphone and avoids any um wind noise avoids any
uh vibration noise and handling noise and all that kind of cool stuff so your
uh your microphone's like suspended on a bunch of stuff and it's cool and yeah
anyway so there that's all of our new gear that we're extremely excited about
and we'll allow us to make even more better videos than we ever have before
in fact our best video ever is not the
Samsung upgrade your Mac video that's the best one we've released we have
another one that's pending release it's done we're waiting for the manufacturer
to give us the green light to to unleash it on the world and we are really really
excited I oh I've been waiting for so
long to that video to be able to go live it's going to be really good yeah yeah
I'm uh both slick and I are in it but we also have actors so this was this was
our biggest production yet and oh hold
on oh oh is problem um uh okay I need my
power adapter do you know where it is I think so okay uh did you cover any more
did you cover Windows 8.1 no okay I'll talk about that so guys uh we finally
have confirmation from Microsoft so there's been a lot of talk about Windows
blue or Windows 8.1 or whatever it's
going to end up being is it going to be a new OS is it going to be an iteration
is it going to be free is it going to be a service pack is it going to be maybe
like a $20 upgrade or $30 upgrade sort
of like what Apple does with OS 10 where they've been calling it OS 10 for an
awful long time to the point where I'm not even convinced it's the same operating system anymore quite just you
know adding features and doing this and doing that and releasing them as incremental smaller upgrades in much the
same way that Microsoft has traditionally done by charging more up front and doing service packs over time
so it looks like Windows 8.1 will be
more like a service pack than anything else they are implementing some new
functionality they are not charging for
it as a standalone product so it's just going to be um adding a start menu they
are making some changes to the UI to make the modern UI more friendly for
Mouse users the source for this
was which one is this uh the source for this one was Daily Tech so here you go
guys check out the full article on Daily Tech um they are keeping the ARM be and
it looks like guys like NVIDIA are still very committed to it and it might be
helped in some ways by some of the things that they're doing to unify The Experience between Windows 8 and the uh
Windows RT version and honestly I think probably the most important thing
they're doing from a tablet perspective with Windows 8.1 is they are adjusting
the modern UI so it'll work on seven and 8 inch tablets because right now the
tablets that are cleaning up are devices like the Nexus
7 I mean you can get a Nexus 7 referb at
NCIX for 150 bucks yeah would you spend
$300 plus on a Windows RT tablet at the point yes it comes with office but given
that the Nexus 7 is already going to do most of what you need it to do and it's more portable anyway and you could use
Google Docs 10-inch tablet has always felt like a very awkward form factor for
me I do use my iPad a lot I don't own a
7-in tablet and I'm not convinced that I would still use my iPad 2 if I had an
iPad mini um what do you think
yeah probably I've I personally have never liked the tablet form factor at
any point I don't like minis I don't like like I don't like sevens I don't
like tens I don't like tablets what if you could have an 18 and a half inch
tablet ASUS has one no I don't get it I'm not into it at
all I do not like it I kind of maybe
understand I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam I am I do not
like them in a house like if you had if you had like a communal home tablet
maybe okay just so like it can kind of sit on the coffee table by the couch and
people can just like check things really quickly I do not want an apple one I do
not think that they are fun yes I was trying to think of some way to
incorporate Apple yes good job good job thank
you uh so anyway um moving right along
so Windows 8.1 will be free that will be good it will tweak some things ah yes so
the start menu I mentioned before the start menu is going to be added do you remember what the start menu does now it
just goes to uh modern UI so it does nothing which it kind of
already did you know already did okay you know what it'll fix for me though
because one of the things that actually drives me crazy is the way that I
navigate to device manager just by habit is I rightclick start menu properties
not having a start menu is like oh my goodness how do I get to device manager
I don't know how to do it anymore will that work what it doesn't come up oh I
don't know I don't know if they okay if anyone
from Microsoft is watching Tim if you're watching is the right click context menu
still yeah is the right click context menu still on the start menu because if it's not that's going to be a big
problem for me anyway well you'll probably still be installing a third
party app anyways we've got someone on Twitch saying anyone who doesn't like
Windows 8 didn't give the full retail version of chance I definitely gave it a pretty big
chance so okay yeah yeah yeah the it's
speed in games is nice yep network transfer look nice task
manager nice uh permissions not nice any
integration with modern UI whatsoever at all in any amount not nice um I don't
know yeah oh modern UI is apparently becoming more Mouse friendly oh I think
I already said that earlier but I didn't have too much of a problem with the mouse in it yeah that's not the issue
for me I mean the issue for me is density I've I've always wanted my
computer to have more data density not less because I see well um and bigger
Mouse movements to me are not more efficient so that was why I wanted a
30in 2560 x600 monitor is because I wanted all of my icons and all of my
text smaller now modern UI takes that and
makes it so that instead of having a start menu that's got all these little
like densely packed things like I use detail VI when I am browsing files
because I want I want all those file names as long as possible as much as I
can read and I want to know how big they are and I want to know when they were last modified and these are all things
that I actually care about when I'm using my computer and modern UI doesn't
help me with any of that it doesn't give me enough information and reducing the
density is never going to work for me no matter what unless I'm on a tablet in
which case yay my biggest problem with modern UI is okay Windows 7 I have a
whole bunch of things open I monitoring a few things I'm possibly watching a
video I've got chats open I'm doing all this stuff I press start on Windows 7
and a little menu comes up yeah I can do my stuff really quickly while doing
everything else I press start on Windows 8 boom everything's gone byebye
everything my whole current experience is completely interrupted and stopped
put to a complete halt so that I can take too long to find whatever I'm
finding because of huge blocky icons or the search being filtered into three
different types of results then I get to finally go back into the experience that
I was having before with that said if I was using touch on the computer like I
am with this notebook then that's fine I'm you know I I like Windows 8 on my
touch Notebook on my Aspire S7 but that's a touch experience and I don't
know could I be convinced at some point you know what I could be convinced at
some point to have a touch enabled desktop but not necessarily because I
would use touch all the time on it but because kids growing up my my son is
hardly know like is going to hardly know what a
screen that doesn't have a touch interface on it is like he will expect
to be touching things in order so so for people who use that more
naturally yeah I think I think it'll come eventually and I think Windows 8
does make sense for that at some point in the future now I actually should have
done this earlier and guys bear with me here but I got to run an ad so I'm going
to explain what the ad is really quickly first because it might not be completely
explanatory the ad itself that is so in the US if and Canada if you buy uh an
Intel processor a qualifying one from a qualifying retailer and the list will be
in the description under the live archive video um it's also in some of my
other videos but uh most of the major guys on online uh then you get a free
subscription to iracing.com which is hyper realistic racing Sim and now I'm
just going to transition into the ad because I basically just said everything in it but I have to play this anyway for
a limited time only buy an Intel Core I5 or core i7 CPU and get get a free
3-month subscription to iracing.com available from participating retailers
click the link in the video description for more details some guys like yay it worked yay
yay that's the second time right um someone says unsubscribed
whatever man and there's nothing you can do about ad block if we like embed an
ads so there you go good luck with that
and for those of you who use ad block on our content come on man how are we
supposed to eat exactly it's actually a problem we cater to the techie people
who know how to run abblock so equivalent channels can eat and we can't
and it's like oh it's actually kind of depressing that like makeup channels
that have like a quarter as many views as us apparently they're doing it as a
full-time job I'm like really cuz none of those people have ad
block all of our fans are like yeah screw you guys adlock yay I don't have
to watch ads it's like good for you but come on really
with that said I don't sit and watch YouTube ads no but don't don't sit and
watch YouTube I don't have ad block yeah I mean I'll I'll skip them most of the
time but you know what I think it still counts as semi a semi impression or
something like I think they still I think ah cuz Okay the ones that pop up
from here you know what I don't remember the rules anymore but um moving right
along ad block
sucks uh o yeah Facebook this is
interesting yeah so this this is honestly it's not the deepest analysis
of you know Facebook's IPO and the whole
uh public offering and all the stuff that's been going on over the last year
but what it is is it's just kind of a neat very highlevel view of sort of
what's happened over the last little while here and the page is loading
really fun right click on this and click view image it'll show properly okay view
image go okay so check this out guys um
so here's after a jittery half hour delay cause oh so this source is qz
prod. oh no that's wrong wait where is this from yeah qz.com there we go so
after a jittery half hour delay caused by text stock begins trading closing up
0.6% on huge volume okay shares fall
nearly 20% in the next two days as
people realize like what's happened here stock tanks another 20% before and after
Facebook's week first earnings report early in investors and insiders can sell
right here and stock drops 10% from August 16th to August 17th I really feel
for anyone actually I don't I don't really feel for anyone who invested in
Facebook because you probably should have known better um I sure did and I
wasn't following it at all okay view image next up we've got company says
Zuckerberg won't sell stock for at least next 12 months but notes that employees may sell from October 29th stock hits
record low 1773 and it's been better since then but
it's very Rocky like this this is not a roller coaster that I would get on
second earnings release as public company just barely beats expectations
shares dump 19% the next day honestly this is the crazy thing about playing
stocks to me it's like investor
confidence somehow has something to do with the value of a company are you
crazy like okay all the respect in the
world for AMD I love those guys everyone I know there great guys but like the
fact that they lost less money than they expected causes their stock to Skyrocket
it's like what they're actually still not making
money like eating a goal good job but you
still fail and I mean yes I understand that it
means they're turning things around and there's potential they could pay out
dividends at some point and all that stuff but there's a whole lot of just
like short-term gains and short-term losses that get made on pure speculation
has nothing to do with anything speaking of which we're going to talk about Bitcoin a bit later
um so moving on to I keep I keep closing
instead of going back so we're going to move into the next quarter which
actually looks a little bit better here we
go so the article actually has a bit of an inflammatory title how Facebook like
basically pissed away $40 million of value in a year so okay so from then on
the graphs SE Arch feature announced Market shrugs so there's a little bit of
bias in this particular article here so take it with a grain of salt they're
kind of right though they're kind of right but you know
that they're still kind of right yes yes
they may be right it even had like a shrug thing it's like uh yeah there was
like oh okay here's the last one guys so Facebook home for smartphones announced
yeah it kind of shrugged again earnings report reassures investor stock up five
.6% the next day so whatever they may be
doing over there sort of whatever business decisions that they're making
okay one number one I don't think Mark Zuckerberg cares anymore um at all at
all because I think he's kind of set for life um but it's just kind of okay so
two things how did they drop 40 billion in value okay they there have probably
been some missteps along the way how did anyone think it was ever worth 104
billion that's the one that really sort of boggles my mind like all the day one
investors the amount of people that I heard like like family friends and stuff
be like oh yeah I invested in Facebook that's awesome I'm like no it's not I
know people who did too yeah I know people who are still in what yeah I knew
someone who I was like after two days after it dropped 20% so I was like get
out no no it's gonna it's a long-term play I'm like no it
isn't so for all the viewers there who are uh sell it now eat beans for a month
you'll be okay yeah and for those of you who think I'm not monitoring the twitch
chat and telling slick to scare me it's not going to work or hit you cuz I am
monitoring the twitch chat or ruffle your hair like a dog that was a recent one yeah I'm not going to I'm not no is
it okay so speaking of Bitcoin here we go this is another this is another
article on quartz this is a long article so
bitcoin's black hat day black black hat Bitcoins days are numbered the anonymity
looks like it's probably going to be going away the US government seized
accounts that the Japan based Mount gaau the world's largest bit coin exchange
held at its US bank now I'm not going to get into too much detail about it
because apparently I bored some of you with that last thing um but what it's
not an attack from the US government on bitcoin no it's an attack on Anonymous
trading that's being used to launder money and turn from Bitcoin into other
currencies ill gotten gains and so
what's going to be happening is they are going to be mandating that all Bitcoin
exchanges are going to be regulated by the same laws that regular money
exchanges do so they have to be putting in place uh safeguards that whatever's
going in and out is not being done in a way that it could be laundering money
they have to be watching for people trying to circumvent the system and this
is going to do a couple of things it's going to I believe legitimize Bitcoin in
a big way that wasn't going to happen without this if Bitcoin was always this
like black market currency with anonymity on its side yeah the internet
might love that but come on guys really to work it could have worked to a
certain degree if it stayed small if it stayed small but it blew up and it's to
it's out of it's out of the hands of the people that wanted to keep it that way
they wanted it like anyone who wanted it to be big could not have possibly
expected it to stay Anonymous forever come on guys um so so I believe this is
going to legitimize it in a big way because it's going to be regulated and
it's going to be able to be trusted in ways that it couldn't before I mean that
Australian Bitcoin exchange relatively small one but any Yahoo could have a
Bitcoin exchange because these laws are going to make it so you have to put a
significant amount of overhead and administration Administration
Administration behind being a Bitcoin exchange but but before any any guy
could have a Bitcoin exchange that guy made off like a bandit he just closed
shop and disappeared with people's Bitcoins back when they were worth like
a fortune when they went over like $200 or something around that time probably
bailed as fast as he could and it's just rolling money now and so I I I
personally I I've been a skeptic about Bitcoin and one of the things that made
me extremely skeptical about it was the anonymity it's like it's never going to
be legitimate if it's treated like something that's just this this illegal
currency so Mount goau has come out or whatever has come out saying we are
going to investigate this I tried to go to the website and I was just getting white paged so I'm not entirely sure
what's going on that with that right now but they might be back up
um but they are going to investigate it they are going to keep on going but then
there's the other um exchange I don't
remember the name coin something oh yeah yeah coin remember something like that
it's in it's in the article right yeah it's in the article somewhere coin
something who is backed by a lot of capital yes and they're coin lab right
here or coin coin yeah coin lab so they
are have already put pressure on Mount goau with A5 million lawsuit yeah over proposed
partnership gone sour and coin lab as
well as coinbase are both registered as
money transmitters already putting a lot of pressure on Mount Gau there's uh
potential that they're just going to kind of just take it Peter out at this
point and they're just going to take over because normal people especially
with some of the disasters that have happened with Bitcoin are going to want
the security of knowing that it's a real financial institution that's handling
their money so there you go
um so yeah and and I already forgot their name coin whatever is coin lab is
basically saying that they're not going to deal with anything that is attempted to be anonymous yes that's uh that's the
other thing is I think I haven't both of them said that maybe I'm not sure where
they're both saying they they're just not going to deal so not everyone wants
the US government putting their nose all over Bitcoin well well okay this was a
they sieged the accounts that mount go had in an American bank account yes if
if Mount gonks did not have that in an American bank account America would have
not done anything about it and if it wasn't being used to well allegedly sort
of all that if it wasn't if they didn't have sus if they didn't suspect that it
was being used for uh for laundering money then it was being ignored up till
now yeah so so those are the two things one it was in the states yeah and two it
was possibly being used for Laing money here's a good one from ours Technica uh
was this yep no not no that was me okay
so hacker serving actually here I'll let you handle this one since so hacker is
serving a 5-year sentence he helped some ganker gangsters gangster well they
could be gankers they were stealing money yeah gankers gankers so there you
go guys you heard it here first thieves are gankers well kind of cuz they're
hanging out at the ATM and they gank your kind of It kind of works actually
they're gankers anyways they're skimming your cards as you try and put them into
ATM machines so he got caught and put in
jail and to make amends what he did was kind of solved the problem that he was
pushing forward he's six months into his sentence in a Romanian prison I wouldn't
want to be in a Romanian prison probably not that's probably why he worked so hard anyways he developed a system so
that it will rotate the card when it comes in counteracting skimming machines
that he was putting out there so so pretty much you take so so for those of
you who don't look at the article on ARS Technica basically what it would amount
to is instead of inserting your card this way because the way the skimmers
were working is they were reading the mag strip on the back of a card as it
went in before it went in so what his
device does is it kind of like clamps on
to the old slot and allows you to insert your card this way so you insert your
card sideways it flips it around and then inserts it this way so that the
machine itself can read it but a skimmer couldn't now it seems like a very
temporary fix yep but but still a temporary fix pretty
much every security measure ever to be completely honest in the computer world
is a temporary fix yeah oh was that your credit card
no why because people are like look at his card number there's no way you're
going to be able to read my card number it's 720p and I'm back here okay don't
worry about it um yeah so I don't know that's kind of cool that should count
for something yeah I I hope it helps his
sentence well I think what they're saying is uh so they're calling this SRS
the secure revolving system yeah um and
I know he's being partnered up by there we go yes SRS development was funded by
a company called MB Telecom yep products being shopped around and
something something I think there's something about how uh so the the
president told Rutter that he fully deserves a recognition he's at least
taking part in improving Romania's image abroad and he'll surely join our team
when released this happens so much that's
cool this happens so much okay this is the first time I've seen it with something some form of Hardware hacking
um but it's so so so so common that someone will uh break into say a bank
not steal anything not look at anyone's personal information but just kind of
sit there and then either turn themselves in directly to the bank or
like bring themselves in not get caught and then get hired instead of
arrested because they'll be like you know what if you hire me I can patch
this hole and then help defend you from then on yeah no that's uh that almost
seems like the way to get a job I mean that's how slick got his job
here I I'm the actual person that stole your YouTube account way back when yeah
yeah and then he he was all like yeah don't worry I'll prevent anyone from ever doing that
again by by by you activating twostep
yeah yay uh that's not true by the way yeah
not not true at all so oh here's a community news item that actually I
thought was pretty darn cool so the Apple App Store just hit 50 billion
downloads this was contributed by holy crap
methus methus methus yeah
55743 um so this was reported by The Verge here's the original link Apple's
got 50 billion downloads I mean think
about that they gave a $10,000 app store credit to the person who downloaded the
50 billionth app this is something that they've done before and the first 50
people who downloaded an app after that each received a $500 gift card so to put
this in context it took Apple so here
here here they are they have all the numbers um uh so the blah blah blah
September 2012 the Play Store hit 25 billion downloads and it's been
announced today that they're closing in at 48 billion uh the Windows phone store
has reached its first billion a few months ago blackberry's app world
reached three billion downloads last year and uh where was it I remember
reading somewhere how long it took them to reach the first million downloads and
basically the rate at which apps are being downloaded these days is
absolutely insane and crazy and I think
it's really I think it's really awesome I think it's really cool it really shows
sort of where the market shares at as well you kind of go yeah apple apple
Google where Apple had the Long Head Start well I guess not that long but
they had a head start still pretty substantially they had a significant Head Start Over Android and Android
quite frankly sucked at the beginning anyway so uh so yeah very very very cool
50 billion downloads I mean just
unfathomable numbers that's enough for for every person on Earth to have like
seven
apps like what seriously yeah that's
actually kind of insane but you also got to figure out they're probably
calculating every time you like re reset your phone yeah oh yeah every time you
restore apps every time time every time
I know there's a lot of arbitrary going on speaking of Android and the
experience sucking uh the experience
might be about to get better than anything that we've ever seen before so
fil or Phil or whatever man you guys got
to have names I can pronounce on the Forum there uh so the original article
is from geek.com but at the Google iio
event Samsung made a huge announcement
and that is that the Galaxy S4 will have
a stock vanilla Google Experience
discuss kind of talked about this a little bit already when not a lot but a little bit
a little bit yeah I didn't talk about like I talked about how my favorite
phone was an nexs okay hold on before you talk okay hold that thought don't
forget okay while slick is talking I want you guys on Twitter to tweet us and
let us know on a scale of 1 to 10 how matter you if you already bought a
Galaxy S4 with Touch wiz and now for
what is it 649 in the Play Store yeah yeah 649 in the Play Store you can get
an S4 that gets the Nexus treatment instant Google updates for the lifetime
of the device holy crap that makes it I
mean it has I mean it's crazy to me that it's going to be a Google device at all
because Google's trying to get away from the three buttons on the bottom and
Samsung basically gave them the old uh on that just did it anyway okay
and um it's got a MicroSD which Google
wants to get away from okay
like it's what's the deal it's awesome I
like okay so guys tell us how mad you are back to the Nexus experience I guess
while we wait for this I I loved my nexs because of the updates going like crazy
so I was not that intrigued when S4 came out but now I'm actually kind of
intrigued I'm not going to go step out and spend 650 bucks on a new phone but
it seems viable now to upgrade from an S3 because I see like the value in
getting a phone that will be updated by Google all the time yep and I mean
Samsung notoriously differentiates their phones by software exact which is just
not cool at all no um apparently no one
on Twitter wants to talk about this 10 really mad what's the deal oh there's
one yeah all right so let's go let's go to the Twitter
boards um is this going to happen to the xeria Z kind of doubt it only issue is
will the Nexus experience S4 be CDMA compatible not I think are there like
one or two different um I read something
remember getting it yeah can't remember okay so oh oh there are a bunch of
responses I just couldn't find them yeah if I had bought it I would be ultra
upset is the word that Bernardo meant to use uh you guys are talking about the
shield streaming there's an app called kany that does that it works over 3G and
4G to that's very cool okay uh I think
you can just download the ROM and install it on your Samsung S4 if that's
possible then that's very cool I would not be mad because I would root the
thing in a heartbeat okay fair enough 9,000 out of 10 mad cuz not everyone is
comfortable rooting their phone just throwing that out there the Droid DNA
took me like four to six hours to rout and S off and whatever all the things
you have to do uh in order to and like get the latest over the air update that
somehow made the phone not rootable it's still not rootable and so I had to do
all these things in a particular order I'd never rooted a phone before it's
not that easy with some devices
so not mad cuz I got an I phone 10 really mad what's the
deal um not at all thanks to XDA
Developers which I should have used already I am mad Verizon locked down the
DNA when HTC had given it to us unlocked for ROMs okay yeah yeah I'm mad about
that too they both have the same Hardware so anyone who wants stock badly
enough can find a rom update within a day this is true uh we already talked
about this Sean first time watching live from
Tasmania hello hello apparently we're goofy awesome that must be Australian
like attempts at English my favorite Australian whoa sorry guys I love you
guys my favorite Australian thing is sta what and they literally just type sta
that mean like Australia but with a heavy Australian accent okay that's my
favorite thing ever it's so awesome listening to the stream with wireless
headphones that's a good idea uh
Casper zero I root can't care don't care
don't own for but I'd be mad OEM should support AOSP more often like with Nexus
it's a pain to get it to work with the devices I honestly I I wish even just to
try it I wish I could try a stock Google Experience on the HTC1 for example I
understand why it's not that easy and developing multiple firmware streams and
multiple software streams is a problem um I mean especially with the
hardware being so diverse on the Android platform but it just yeah I kind of wish
I could at least try it um okay so you know what I think
that's pretty much it do you want to do build logs of the week sure and then we
are going to start the
Afterparty uh should I go get that ready sure I can do builds you can go
get that ready sure hope we won't so guys we're going to be doing Super Mario
live stream and uh peace slick just uh stop it when
you're done sure we'll do project chapy
okay I might stick around for this which which scene is it three four four for a
limited time only by an Intel oh I asked
what scene it was well no I on there it's F4 oh that's weird yeah don't worry
about it why why would you there's a because F1 always brings up
help why don't you show them the build block okay so I'm going to slow scroll
through this cuz I can barely use this keyboard the first few pictures are just
kind of him getting ready and then he does a test fit so don't worry no stock
CPU Cooler just going to put that out there right now so nobody freaks out
there's no stock CPU Cooler he's just doing a test
fit pretty nice sleeving I like it uh we
will see when he does white sleeving here he does a zoom in of it it looks
quite good uh where's the better zoom in of it that replaceable ring thing on on
Corsair fans is actually like the smartest thing ever it's really cool cuz you can make it go to your system so
it's nice like it's nice that he sleeved it it's a little bit loose sleeping you
see that it's a little bit loose sleeving but you probably won't notice
that much unless you're really looking really close so you start to see it
coming together the sleeving kind of crazy colors here but it it ends up looking awesome this took me off by a
guard at first because I was like what orientation is that in it took me a little while to figure it out and then I
got pretty excited because that looks very cool once you actually get to see it in the build now you start
questioning things cuz you're like wait he has a closed loop cooler and there's
a reservoir there and he's got tubing
it's like what's happening and I just got oh this is so cool so he took apart
his close loop cooler and adds a reservoir to
it which is
awesome just totally
awesome so cool because I can because
you know what it looks way better that's what I'm assuming he was thinking
because it does it looks super cool he's got his own tub he's got a Reservoir in
there it didn't cost him way too much he definitely doesn't have the cost
of doing a whole whole custom water loop although at this point it's basically a
whole custom water loop so it looks great he did a little
bit there you go there's a good shot of the SSD you can see how it's mounted there in the bottom right vertically so
it shows really really well when you're looking inside of the case he's got a
reservoir which makes the whole thing look a billion times better it's just
very very cool little build not a if you
don't count the reservoir not a ton of mod work although he did sleeve all the
way to the power supply so I guess that's just totally not true the definitely a ton of mod work on this
great job I don't remember which username this was Jeffrey Rodriguez Good
Job dude that was an awesome build that was very very cool I'm going to switch
over to scene one here we go sorry I'm not so good at this let me grab the
other build now to go to the complete other spectrum of good-looking builds we
get my R4 which is easily the most creative named thing I've ever seen so I
don't know what you guys are talking about he doesn't have a ton of in progress shots or zero but that's his
computer no in progress shots it's done
I like this build a lot because when I first saw it my first reaction was like
oh that's photo booed or like Lightroom because it just seems like everything
goes so well together and then I realized that it's actually probably not
that's probably exactly what it looks like he pulled the label off the power
supply sleeved his PSU and the whole
thing looks amazing not a ton of steps
and it looks absolutely fantastic I don't see a ton of people pulling off
labels off power supplies um I think he also pulled the
stickers off the top of his IO ports I'm going to try and point with my mouse for
once so in here there were probably
originally some stickers in there this is one thing I do that I do not see very
many people doing but I think it really really improves the look of the build because when you have like Intel gigabit
sticker that is totally in a color profile doesn't match the rest of your
build I don't think it looks that great um but yeah this build just looks so
clean so insanely clean and not the
clean where it's like pearl white clean this just looks crazy sophisticated
clean it's very very nice looking build gentle typhoons were a perfect choice
for the look of this build absolutely perfect I've got some in my build they
look great they're very simplistic but they look great it's just minimalism you
can tell with his headphones on the headphones stand back there which are awesome um just I'm I have a feeling
this guy is into minimalism his cable management is great he did a really good
job he's got his SSD mounted back there which is awesome I'm not a huge fan of
the SSD mounting in this case because if I remember correctly you have to screw
it in from behind the motherboard so to take it off or put another one in you
have to take the motherboard out which is a little bit annoying um yeah it's
just an awesome build and then and then this is this is kind of my favorite part
very nice engraved keycap apps those are awesome nice keyboard he's got there
nice keyboards always I think tie everything together and that's where you
can totally see people's kind of personality come in because this is
where I got the affirmation that he was into minimalism because checking out his
keyboard it's just a very very nice
build I'm going to show you guys a little shot of that again um so thanks a lot for build logs
I want to do a quick shout out to the Intel response team I don't have a URL
here but maybe one of my mods can post it in twitch chat we are recruiting
people um no one has gotten messages back yet just by the way and if we don't
message you I'm sorry but we just have tons of applicants um if you get in we
will message you we'll get that rolling Intel response team is awesome the idea
of the Intel response team is your alius Tech tips Forum member who has join the
Intel response team we do not want you to answer any questions that you
wouldn't already answer and we don't want to influence your answer if you
would normally suggest AMD to this person please suggest AMD to that person
this is if you're joining until respond team if it's a use case that AMD makes
more sense do that we do not want to influence your answer all the Intel
response team is for is that if someone has an Intel processor or if someone is
interested in buying an Intel processor that person should get a premium
experience so Intel wants to sponsor the
team so what the team will get is swag and prizes and they're pretty serious
swag and pretty serious prizes and it's from Intel so if it's stuff that Intel
makes and it's fairly high-end I'm not saying exactly what it is but it's GNA
be good so the prizes are pretty awesome they're giving them out on a monthly
basis it'll be basically you have to do 30 posts a month and it's not for lineus
Tech tips Forum um you get an amount of I'll explain the point system later
what's up I okay there's a cat in
here he came in when you left last okay
so you have to do 30 posts but we're looking for posts outside of the Forum
and inside the Forum the posts about Intel that are going to be consumed
within the line sect for them they're going to go really fast so basically if
you only Post online as Tech tips you probably won't be able to stay because
we need 30 posts from each member every month and you won't be able to get 30
posts every month with all the other people answering questions
um you have to be the best person there so it has to be a long very very good
answer it's it's
not it's not going to be super easy this
isn't for people that are going to school and have a part-time job and have
no extra time this is for people that have a lot of extra time already post a
ton on forums and are already doing this kind of stuff this isn't like a
lifestyle change idea this is we want to reward you for things that you're
already doing so if that sounds like something that you're into I might have
missed some things check out the post that windspeed made on our Forum
hopefully he can post that like I said earlier if that sounds like something that you're into please apply we will be
going through applications very soon we'll try and get this team up and running
um one of the things I'm going to throw there that I think I can say is one of
the first swag items is going to be team shirts and the team shirts can have
personalized names on the back and it'll be like uh Intel Response Team uh Intel
response Squad sorry and then your Forum handle which is going to be pretty cool
then it'll say until response Squad somewhere else I don't know yet we're probably going to do a community
submitted shirt design for that but we're definitely going to have personalized names on the back so it's
going to be pretty awesome but like I said it is going to take some work it's
not going to be that easy and we need you month by month by month it's not
going to be one thing where you just jump in for a month we need you to kind
of stay on the team so yeah if you are actually interested in that please check
it out and I'll see you on the other side because we're going to go do the
live stream thanks for watching if you're tuning out now we will see you
next week or we'll see you on line of SE tips
YouTube have a good night everyone
