1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,000 all right guys welcome to the WAN Show 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:17,439 it is that time again this week the time that I set aside to spend with you all 3 00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:20,519 of you out there in twitch Twitch 4 00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:23,359 streaming land and oh crap I've got the 5 00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:27,400 tab open on my on my laptop and I'm like 20 seconds behind I can hear myself and 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,560 okay I've uh I've managed to make it so that I'm not going crazy anymore which 7 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:36,879 is nice I am unfortunately without Luke this week 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,200 which is which is a real shame but he's basically got some Stuffy's got a deal 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:47,000 with this week and I totally get it so I'm going to hopefully have someone join 10 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:49,039 me in a short while here and uh you know 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,920 it's funny I was planning to have the show go completely smoothly with no 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:00,160 hitches in his absence the way that he claims that it always goes when I'm not 13 00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,159 around but I will confess to you now I I 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,320 have not yet actually tested uh my 15 00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:11,159 screen share so this is the moment of 16 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,280 truth will I be having H an easy well 17 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:16,400 not easy I mean you know live streaming is it's very difficult very very 18 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:23,360 difficult but will I be having a seamless show today or oh look at that 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:27,000 nailed it yes my friend so we've got a lot of great topics for you today 20 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:32,079 there's been some big news and there's been some little news um researchers 21 00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:36,200 built a 1,000 core processor I'll be talking about that and why it probably 22 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,799 doesn't mean a whole lot to you and won't for for quite some time uh 23 00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:46,960 YouTube's terms of service have been updated uh it's mostly around their 24 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,119 harassment and cyber bullying policy so 25 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:54,399 that is going to have potentially 26 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,920 huge um ramifications for some YouTubers 27 00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:02,920 out there who are basically making a living out of harassment and cyber bully 28 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:08,640 uh twitch brings cfaa and trademark claim against bot operators apparently 29 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:13,000 they are a persistent frustration out is some strong language coming from their 30 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:20,239 uh senior vice president marketing okay and in much 31 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:26,840 Huger news that's not necessarily directly purely Tech related but will 32 00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:32,920 absolutely have an effect on technology and how that how that works especially 33 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:37,879 for Europe an moving forward the UK has 34 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:41,040 voted to leave the EU it is it is final 35 00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:42,159 but there are some important other notes 36 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,599 about it that we're going to be talking a little bit about later so without 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:54,319 further Ado Let's uh get on Twitch chat 38 00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:56,720 here and see if uh see if wow no one is 39 00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:01,239 complaining that is amazing and here come all the complaints 40 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,850 so let's roll the intro so that I can just you don't even have to watch me 41 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:11,209 pretending not to read 42 00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:32,159 them square face oh what the heck it's 43 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:37,040 like four pixels off look at that we're like dancing oh 44 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:43,120 wait also for some reason we have much darker skin in this one fascinating 45 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:48,080 tunnel bear fresh books and those are all the same but the 46 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,879 blank ones ah one of these days one of these 47 00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,079 days we're going to become a real professional Media company and we're not 48 00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:59,439 going to we're not going to make little mistakes like who am I kidding that's 49 00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:04,000 never happening all right so let's jump right into to our first topic here the 50 00:04:01,079 --> 00:04:09,519 original article here is from n Gadget researchers build a 51 00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,120 1,000 core processor that they 52 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:19,000 call the kilo cor yeah that makes sense so in a 53 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:25,800 nutshell what a what a kilo core or or a many many core processor would be 54 00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:29,720 optimized for is as you can well imagine 55 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,120 performing many many parallel operations 56 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:39,000 so that's many many many many small things all at once this is not going to 57 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,080 have pretty much any relevance to you 58 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:49,240 the person sitting there who wants to play games or um encode video that you 59 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:51,639 edited or I mean really most of what you 60 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:56,479 would consider to be a a home use for a computer this is not going to have any 61 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,840 relevance for you um I don't want to say 62 00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:05,759 ever because ever is a really big word but uh for a very very long time because 63 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,479 the limitation of the way that we 64 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:11,400 currently code software is usually when 65 00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:16,520 it comes to Performance the single-threaded performance of the CPU 66 00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:23,680 or CPUs that are being used to handle the workload it will take an enormous change 67 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:30,120 in the way that programming is done for something like this hyper low power kilo 68 00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:32,280 cor processor to have much Rel to 69 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:38,520 someone who wants to even you know General web browsing can consume a lot 70 00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:40,919 of CPU horsepower these days but there 71 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:46,360 are things that it can be used for sorting through data encryption uh one 72 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,280 of the applicability sort of notes that I have in here is encoding videos but 73 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:56,720 that is heavily dependent on the codec being used for one thing and for well I 74 00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:02,800 mean how many video streams you're trying to encode so if you could make 75 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:08,199 a th core processor that is powerful enough for each of the cores to handle 76 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:14,599 an individual encoding stream holy crap I mean I could see a site like twitch or 77 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,199 like YouTube being all over that kind of 78 00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:20,840 Technology it's like you mean we can have a thousand cores Each of which can 79 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:27,840 handle an incoming video encoding request from a file upload by itself and 80 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,599 these things can consume uh let's 81 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:35,560 see7 Watts total I mean the whole thing could run on a AA battery and this is 82 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,160 without the benefit of the latest manufacturing process node so this was 83 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:45,120 actually built on 32 nanometer technology which is quite archaic at 84 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,960 this point in time though it should be noted that a mere what I don't know four 85 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,960 or five years ago that would have been considered state-ofthe-art so the 86 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:58,120 processor handles 115 billion instructions per second and 87 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,000 part of what makes it operate so efficiently at the core is that the course transfer data to each other 88 00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:07,560 directly rather than on a shared cache of memory though again it should be 89 00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:12,000 noted that that will only be more efficient for certain workloads where 90 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,360 the cores need to share data directly with each other and where you can build 91 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:21,879 enough interconnects for the cores to not have to leap over multiple other 92 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,400 cores in order to access another one very very cool so let's just see if 93 00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:29,199 there's uh is there like a picture I can show you or anything like that it looks 94 00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:35,520 like most of the news articles this one's over on bgr.com are just pulling 95 00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:37,879 generic CPU pictures off of Shutterstock 96 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:43,160 here oo flight attendants and passengers get away with this all the time 97 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,479 fascinating love it thank you for that love those sponsored articles under the 98 00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:54,440 actual article that I'm trying to read all right so the original Source 99 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:56,879 here is dexerto.com a site that we've 100 00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:01,440 never actually referred to before as far as I'm aware just go ahead and make sure 101 00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:06,520 that's POS so there have been some changes to the 102 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:13,280 YouTube terms of service that Target harassment now to be clear I don't have 103 00:08:10,159 --> 00:08:16,319 a strong objection to changing terms of 104 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,919 service to prevent cyber bullying um or 105 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:22,560 harassment and honestly I don't know why we really even call it cyber bullying 106 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:26,720 bullying is bullying and calling it e bullying it's almost like or cyber 107 00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:31,519 bullying is almost like softening it I mean what's actually you know what would 108 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:37,959 be considered more adulterous sex or cyber sex you know 109 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,760 what do we consider to be more sport-like 110 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:45,120 sports or Esports and I don't personally 111 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:50,160 believe that cyber bullying has the potential to be any less harmful than 112 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,240 any other type of bullying and in fact I think it can make you feel much more 113 00:08:51,720 --> 00:09:00,600 trapped because you can't even escape from it online so anyway YouTube has 114 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:03,959 made some changes to the terms in 115 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,560 cases where harassment crosses the line 116 00:09:03,959 --> 00:09:13,040 into a malicious attack it can be reported and will be removed so this is 117 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:18,519 referring specifically to a video that a user would upload so harassment may 118 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:24,120 include abusive videos comments and messages revealing someone's personal 119 00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:26,600 information which is great I mean doxing 120 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,720 is never okay maliciously recording someone without their consent that's 121 00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:34,399 interesting how do you determine that it is 122 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,600 malicious and I mean what does that do for an awful lot of YouTube videos that 123 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,200 are just like this person fail look how stupid 124 00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:47,560 they are that's uh that's that's interesting 125 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,640 that could have serious ramifications for Content that it will be uploaded and 126 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:56,760 a lot of content that's already on the site making hurtful and negative 127 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:01,399 comments and videos about another person deliberately posting content in order to 128 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,279 humiliate at someone unwanted 129 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:11,200 sexualization which encompasses sexual harassment or sexual bullying in any 130 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,800 form and incitement to harass other 131 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,959 users or creators interesting note is that uh 132 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:28,560 what's what's that channel called Drama alert yeah or something yeah K yeah 133 00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:30,760 drama alert got a new host within 134 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,560 minutes minutes of this announcement hours of this announcement hi Nick 135 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:37,279 welcome to the show hello everyone um that's partially due to that and 136 00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:41,639 partially due to the fact that he's just a really you know remember hold on we're 137 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:47,800 uploading this to YouTube no personal attacks okay no harassment allegedly not 138 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,399 a very nice personed um and a lot of 139 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:54,680 people have been posting videos essentially attacking him so it's like a 140 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:58,920 two-fold thing I think with that but yes they did replace their host funny how 141 00:10:57,079 --> 00:11:06,360 funny how swords can have two edges on them it I mean it cuts both ways as the 142 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,200 kids say actually I think that's a somewhat dated expression which kids the 143 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:17,160 70-year-old kids oh come on I'm not 70 anyway you 144 00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:21,160 can report people that are breaking the new and updated terms of service using 145 00:11:18,839 --> 00:11:26,480 YouTube's reporting tool speaking of which I actually need to deal with a 146 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:29,800 false flag on one of our stupid videos 147 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,959 uh yeah every um every it's uh basically 148 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:38,079 it's like just you know no this isn't valid um especially once you're once 149 00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:39,639 you're a uh verified verified YouTuber 150 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:43,480 it's it's pretty simple to deal with a lot of those types of reports but uh 151 00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:49,120 every once in a while someone will say that our video needs closed 152 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,000 captioning um which that would be nice 153 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,680 yeah yeah but we've looked into it before it's just really expensive for no 154 00:11:53,160 --> 00:12:01,480 there saying it needs it some videos legally must have closed captioning um 155 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:06,639 if they've been uploaded as broadcast television in the United States then 156 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:11,720 they they must be closed captioned so for us it's just a matter of going no 157 00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:15,279 actually it doesn't I think also in Canada if it's supposed to be used as 158 00:12:13,079 --> 00:12:18,160 like a public resource yeah then I think it has to have close captioning as well 159 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,839 so there's there's some there's some terms of servy funny stuff that you know 160 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,920 every once in a while happens but uh 161 00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:31,720 this is this is pretty potentially pretty far reaching I mean fortunately 162 00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:36,279 it doesn't have an impact on us but what it does do is it highlights for us and I 163 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:43,760 mean really for any online content creator once again the uh powerlessness 164 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,000 that we have I mean on the one hand you 165 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,760 think yeah you know internet video you know kind of freedom of expression say 166 00:12:47,959 --> 00:12:54,959 whatever say whatever you want but at the end of the day what people have to 167 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:59,320 realize is that youtube.com is Google's playground and 168 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:04,600 if you want to play in Google's Play ground you got to play by Google's rules 169 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:06,880 and while this again doesn't affect us 170 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:11,360 because we don't harass or bully people on the lus tech tips Channel because a 171 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:17,440 well okay there are certain manufacturers that you could argue that I wasn't very nice to their product but 172 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:23,040 that's not personal that's the product um but these terms are pretty open-ended 173 00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:28,040 yep and that's like my huge concern with it is what are they going to constitute 174 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:33,160 as bullying are they going to constitute satire as bullying yeah because that's a 175 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,399 massive concern and I think that you know I'm not like a someone who's like 176 00:13:35,959 --> 00:13:41,839 oh this is the beginning of the end for YouTube or anything but it brings up a 177 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:47,440 lot of concerning questions um and censorship is often the lead to the 178 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:51,160 death of a platform um so I think that as long as YouTube has the resources in 179 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,560 place to actually handle this properly and they're just going to make sure that 180 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:58,920 they review everything before they do it unlike their copyright system um they 181 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:03,519 don't have a great history of doing this uh as long as they handle it properly I 182 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,160 think it's a good thing for the platform because let's be honest lately there has 183 00:14:05,079 --> 00:14:13,959 been a lot of questionable content on the platform um but it has a huge 184 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:19,480 potential to go bad with that said they are making strides towards improving 185 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:25,880 these things for example um it used to be that if someone filed a copyright 186 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,320 claim against you your monetization got 187 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:32,720 pulled even though the video might stay up during the appeal period but your 188 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:37,079 monetization got pulled so um for example the monetization would go to the 189 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:41,639 the person who was claiming it right I don't think so in some situations I 190 00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:46,600 think if it was like uh someone who Auto detection of Music yes but depending on 191 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:52,040 what it was sometimes Monet and I've had monetization just pulled for other 192 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,519 reasons okay during a dispute or an 193 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:58,680 appeal period for example um this is this is actually a great example it's an 194 00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:05,759 older one now but I'm just going to I'm going to pull up the video because this 195 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:07,480 was I was so freaking mad about this at 196 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:11,199 the time obviously it's water under the bridge at this point I love my YouTube 197 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,519 overlords um we love you please don't shut us down yeah please don't please 198 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:23,079 don't shut down my channel but check this out so this is one of my older 199 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,759 videos this is back from uh 2012 and I 200 00:15:23,079 --> 00:15:30,120 have no idea how loud this is for you guys but this is my unboxing of the 201 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:34,000 original razor blade so let's go ahead and full screen this 202 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:38,040 baby yeah check that out it was a what was it a 15 17 something like that yeah 203 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:42,720 it was a big old thing it had like this weird weird uh this was called the 204 00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:47,680 switchblade interface so razor blade thin and light 205 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:50,920 gaming notebook featuring and you guys can't read all the way over here because 206 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:56,399 we're covering it here I'll just move us featuring switchblade unboxing so what 207 00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:02,240 happened with this video was that YouTube actually flagged it 208 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:10,240 automatically for Dangerous content containing 209 00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:12,440 weapons so I'm going to pull up um I'm 210 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:17,600 yeah yeah so I'm going to pull up the the analytics for this video and I'll 211 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:20,279 I'll explain exactly why I was so upset 212 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:26,560 about it so the way that my compensation structure worked at NCI at the time was 213 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:33,360 um I had a monthly quota for how many videos I had to make mhm um so I think 214 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,759 it was as high as 45 at one time 45 215 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,040 unboxings was like my quota and I got a flat rate and it was it was very little 216 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:43,920 it was like $10 per unboxing or something like that like it was it was a 217 00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:47,680 pretty low r or like $15 or something um but remember the production values 218 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:53,360 weren't what they are now it was like it was one shot me and my wife camera okay 219 00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:56,920 sometimes there were two shots if you made a mistake sometimes there weren't 220 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,040 two shots if I made a mistake so let's be careful with how we say the two shs 221 00:16:59,199 --> 00:17:04,520 ended up in the video back in the day if lonus made a mistake sometimes it was 222 00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:08,360 the person behind the camera waving frantically going stop stop stop and 223 00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:11,839 then the shot would cut and then you'd come back and go okay actually uh yeah I 224 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:17,799 was wrong it's actually this and they would just leave that in the video so for all you new viewers out there if you 225 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:23,439 think it's bad now yeah um so let's go let's pull up my 226 00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:27,319 analytics for this video here and uh and I will show you guys why I was so upset 227 00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:33,840 because okay so I got a flat rate for the videos that I made and then what I 228 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:37,080 also got was a cut of the YouTube 229 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,000 AdSense so that was how we ended up with 230 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,640 ads on the videos so here are the first 231 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,320 um I don't know however many days this is like 20 20 days some of this video it 232 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:55,200 got pulled immediately because of the word 233 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:57,480 switchblade and in the first five days 234 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:04,919 for me in 2012 okay like 70 80,000 views like how 235 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:08,120 many views is this about 80 to 990,000 236 00:18:04,919 --> 00:18:10,440 views in the first week was unheard of 237 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:15,880 that was a big deal that was like huge for me um also the cpms I believe were 238 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:19,880 higher on the platform at the time and and a variety of other reasons why this 239 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:25,080 was really upsetting but I it just got pulled it just got completely pulled I 240 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:30,679 got nothing for it and even though like my appeal was like yo this is clearly a 241 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:35,320 laptop computer and nothing to do with razors nothing to do with blades and 242 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:41,360 nothing to do with switchblade knives um hey put this back but they 243 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:46,960 would just turn the monetization off and it's just gone poof so the point of that 244 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:53,039 really long story was they're improving they're getting better true but 245 00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:55,440 uh it's not perfect yet and uh and I 246 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:59,640 totally totally hope that they don't screw this up all right speaking of 247 00:18:58,039 --> 00:19:04,720 screwing things up the original article here is from polygon and I'll let uh 248 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,320 I'll let Nick go ahead and introduce this topic here haven't even read this 249 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,039 one you haven't read this one okay this is a Colton topic that's fine we'll jump 250 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,799 into this one that's cool um so last Friday twitch filed a lawsuit against 251 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,440 seven individuals organizations that are in business of selling Bots uh these 252 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,799 Bots are designed to artificially inflate the viewer and follower counts 253 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:26,559 of twitch streamers uh they are a persistent frustration in the words of 254 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:32,280 their marketing senior vice president Matthew dietro uh uh and they have 255 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:37,440 announced that they are now creating a very real problem on the platform so 256 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:41,840 these Bots have been used to deny deny streamers Partnerships or harass other 257 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:46,440 broadcasters and twitch employs techn technological solutions that detect and 258 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:52,480 remove false viewer or Bots currently um so the lawsuit represents a third layer 259 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,960 in their strategy against bots here and 260 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:59,200 uh yeah among the allegations there are federal trademark infringement unfair 261 00:19:56,919 --> 00:20:04,039 competition cyber squatting fraud breach of contract and torous interference so 262 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,760 they're seeking injunctions against the bot makers including the transfer of the 263 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:13,679 possession of their domains they're ordering barring payment processors from 264 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:19,039 uh providing them with service and restitution legal fees and punitive 265 00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:22,679 damages I mean Bots are a huge problem 266 00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:23,760 for pretty much any platform that is 267 00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:30,760 trying to monetize uh views or ad Impressions 268 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,159 because I mean there are a reason that I 269 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:39,679 don't know if you know this but the the Google AdSense terms of service 270 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:42,360 basically do not care why bot traffic is 271 00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:46,400 viewing ads on your site so this is like a really scary thing this is not 272 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:51,480 actually why we lost our Google um our Google AdSense account that had to do 273 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,240 with people posting uh racy images on 274 00:20:51,480 --> 00:21:00,120 the Forum pictures lewd pictures on the Forum that like buried in a thread of 275 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:06,559 you know four was like a 400 page desktop wallpaper thread and it's like 276 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,720 you know you need to be moding 277 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:11,960 like yeah yeah it is what it is so that's that's why you don't see Google 278 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,520 ads on the Linus Tech tips for anymore but but this is an interesting 279 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:20,200 interesting fact is that their terms of service don't give a crap why there are 280 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:24,960 Bots viewing them or why there are Bots clicking on the ads they are going to go 281 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,240 after you with a shoot first ask questions later approach you'll get cut 282 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:34,880 off and you will it will be up to you to prove prove that someone else was 283 00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:37,799 maliciously coding Bots and creating 284 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:42,679 bots to browse and click on your ads so like that because it really it hurts the 285 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:47,960 value of Google's product for that for their purposes that approach makes sense 286 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,120 because if the burden of proof is on them and they have no way to prove 287 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:56,480 whether or not it was you that was botting because let's be honest they don't nope then they can never take it 288 00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,760 away so as soon as they put the burden of proof on you that allows them to actually take it away in any case that 289 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,600 there's Bing and the reason why Bing is a huge issue is because like Ela said 290 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:08,919 when you're trying to sell a product like an ad if there are rumors out there 291 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:14,000 even that you know some of the ads are being boted the advertisers are coming 292 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,200 after you and going why am I paying you for nothing yeah paying for absolutely 293 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:25,559 nothing I mean with twitch it's more complicated because I mean you can't 294 00:22:21,679 --> 00:22:29,240 just go you know oh twitch streamer X Y 295 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:31,480 or Z you know uh yo you're banned from 296 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:36,240 the platform until because I mean malicious actions towards twitch 297 00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:42,039 streamers that have nothing to do with them you know so common you know whether 298 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:45,200 it's as as silly as you know fake pizza 299 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:47,440 deliveries or you know getting into a 300 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:54,600 much more malicious territory things like swatting um this is a huge thing 301 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:57,080 it's something about that community that 302 00:22:54,600 --> 00:23:03,840 thinks you know trolling the onair personality is somehow appropriate 303 00:23:00,919 --> 00:23:07,960 so for twitch to come in and start going heavy-handed like anyone who has Bots 304 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:13,240 viewing their stream you know you're you're banned you're cut off your partnership you know your your 305 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:20,799 subscriber revenue is getting withheld I mean that would be grossly unfair yeah 306 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:24,640 so the the the issue is so multifaceted 307 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:27,400 on Twitch too because as a new viewer to 308 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:31,120 a game you're going to click on probably one of the top broadcast asers within 309 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,679 that game category so if someone's botting they're not only trying to get 310 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:39,440 more ad Revenue by displaying a higher view count they might even just be trying to get more exposure to get 311 00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:44,480 featured or or whatever it is so yeah it's just such a I mean like 312 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,559 what I'm trying to say is maybe the person who's botting isn't even doing it 313 00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:53,120 maliciously maybe they're trying to help the content creator in their own 314 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:59,080 Disturbed way which is terrible by the way yes please don't do that that's like 315 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,799 the worst thing yeah yeah click fraud 316 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:09,080 um view fraud any kind of any kind of fraud is so hard for a content creator 317 00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:10,640 especially a smaller one I mean for 318 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,840 actually this is a great opportunity for me to get into um to get into what 319 00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:22,600 happened with our Amazon Associates account but anytime a content creator 320 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:24,400 runs a fowl of a much larger entity 321 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:29,039 whether we're talking about Google Amazon twitch owned by Amazon um 322 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:34,279 speaking of much larger entities it can be so hard and I 323 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,640 understand the reasons for this I mean you got you got to think about it like a 324 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:43,120 program like um you know an Amazon Associates or like the Creator 325 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,559 management team at a company like Google which is like you know so there's 326 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,399 alphabet and then there's Google and then there's YouTube and then there's 327 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:53,000 like sales and marketing and content 328 00:24:51,399 --> 00:24:56,480 acquisition and content development and then there's this tiny little team like 329 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:01,520 talent management and there are literally millions of creators in some 330 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:07,440 cases at least hundreds of thousands that much we know for sure so for even 331 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:13,840 someone like me where I would like to think that I'm fairly significant I 332 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:17,399 think I'm in the top 500 and change of 333 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:20,039 YouTubers um let's say top 600 to be 334 00:25:17,399 --> 00:25:25,279 safe even for me getting in touch with a partner manager took until about a year 335 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,720 in change ago just to give you guys some 336 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:32,279 idea that was how long it took them to reach out to me get this they reached out to me about the Techquickie channel 337 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,840 did I tell you that yeah they weren't actually reaching out about the lonus 338 00:25:33,919 --> 00:25:42,000 tech tips Channel we completely slipped through the cracks let's be fair though 339 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:45,399 the like the contact email on that on 340 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,600 that channel is extremely messy so like 341 00:25:45,399 --> 00:25:51,679 it's possible no no I would have noticed it's possible I get notifications on my 342 00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:57,919 phone for every email all right all right I would have noticed okay I I was 343 00:25:54,039 --> 00:26:01,480 like wow they talked to me oh be still 344 00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:03,799 my heart so um so especially for a small 345 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:07,679 content creator anytime so okay anyway it's really small teams managing this 346 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,840 stuff they only have so much bandwidth to manually review things so a lot of 347 00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:16,360 this stuff is done by automated systems and to get someone to review it has to 348 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:21,000 be done in a priority fashion so so if you have 500 subscribers on YouTube Good 349 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:25,760 Luck like I lost my channel four and a half years ago took me over a month to 350 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:28,840 get it back it took YouTube literally five years to ever get in touch with me 351 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:34,840 about anything um and when uh so getting into the 352 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:37,720 Amazon thing when I was found to be in 353 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:43,120 breach of Amazon's Associates terms of service my appeal process was basically 354 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:52,520 yo can we talk about this on the phone yo no no 355 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,399 um Good Luck elsewhere so it is so it 356 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:59,720 can be pretty tough now with that said so so leading back into because you know 357 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:04,720 we consider ourselves to be something of a of a key online 358 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:08,840 video program when it comes to technology um and I know a few people 359 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:14,320 who know a few people who know a few people who were willing to stick their 360 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:17,000 necks out on my behalf um I do actually 361 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:25,000 have some news to share uh as far as the whole Amazon thing goes um so last week 362 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:28,559 I did announce that Amazon Associates 363 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,240 our Amazon links were were dead our 364 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:37,000 account was dead and everything was dead um since that time I have managed to get 365 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:42,559 on the phone with someone and it looks like we are going to work together to 366 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:48,519 move forward I've actually got some some notes that uh that I put together about 367 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,200 sort of what what has exactly G on so it 368 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:56,480 was pointed out to me that anyone is allowed even unless you've been found to 369 00:27:53,159 --> 00:27:59,159 be like clearly maliciously abusing the 370 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:04,480 program um anyone is allowed to change their business model and to a compliant 371 00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:10,640 business model and reapply um so we've actually been 372 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:14,799 approved as of yesterday morning for a 373 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:17,120 new account um and you know here's what 374 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:21,679 I have to say to you guys this does mean there will be a new ID uh you won't have 375 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:27,279 seen that anywhere yet because we're working very carefully to go through our 376 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:31,960 everything and make sure that all of our practices all of our editors know you 377 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:35,519 know how to call it out correctly um you know all of our writers know how to call 378 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:40,919 it out correctly so we want to make sure that we are 100% above board because I 379 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:44,519 do not imagine for a second that I have 380 00:28:40,919 --> 00:28:47,600 a a longer a longer leash than uh you 381 00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:49,799 know about this uh if if we were to ever 382 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:56,519 violate the the terms of the agreement again um but here's what I'll say if 383 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,720 you're a Creator out there who is using the Amazon Associates program or if 384 00:28:58,559 --> 00:29:03,760 you're looking into the Amazon Associates program CU honestly in spite 385 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,919 of the stress that I've gone through in the last week uh I still highly 386 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,760 recommend participating in the program it is a great great program it's a great 387 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:17,640 way to make additional Revenue without compromising any integrity that's one of 388 00:29:15,919 --> 00:29:22,600 the things that I love about it is that because Amazon carries everything I can 389 00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:26,640 recommend something on Amazon without there being any conflict yeah because 390 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:33,640 they carry everything cuz they carry everything I I don't care if you buy the LG G5 or the you know OnePlus 3 I don't 391 00:29:31,399 --> 00:29:41,120 give a crap just just go buy it there buy one yeah buy buy both um so here's 392 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:45,720 what I'll say carefully study the terms of the agreement carefully clicking on 393 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,919 all of the hyperlinks within the terms of the agreement because there are 394 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:55,600 subterms of the agreement within the terms of the agreement review them all 395 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:58,120 uh some of it is kind of vaguely worded 396 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:02,279 but I understand why they do this and it's to prevent abuse you can't cover 397 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:08,480 every eventuality I get that so some of the 398 00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:12,720 terminology does seem a little gray but here's the advice that I and this is my 399 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,080 personal advice this is not coming from Amazon I'm making it very clear that I'm 400 00:30:14,919 --> 00:30:20,600 not affiliated with Amazon in any way other than that I am a participant in 401 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,919 the Amazon Associates program that's something that they they say that you're 402 00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:29,679 supposed to say so right there you go it's in the terms of service um the way 403 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:34,919 to read it is keeping in mind the spirit of the agreement which is that you are 404 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:40,360 to show your viewers or your audience applicable products on Amazon especially 405 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:44,240 ones that you like or recommend and you are to provide them with a means to 406 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:49,120 quickly buy it by clicking on a link that you provide them so if you keep 407 00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:54,679 that in mind while you read through it the rules are much easier to understand 408 00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:59,679 so uh there you have it uh we have we have learned our lesson um we were 409 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:04,120 extraord arily lucky that we have some friends of some friends who were who 410 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:08,039 were very generous to put their necks out and vouch for us being good people 411 00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:13,360 who were not maliciously abusing the program so huge shout out to uh to all 412 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:17,200 the people who quietly helped us with this thank you for that and uh look 413 00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:23,200 forward to seeing more Amazon links under our videos moving 414 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:24,760 forward yay yay and another uh thing is 415 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,360 one of the people that I was talking to about it said like some of the people 416 00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:34,120 that work in that program are are like people from all walks of life all stages 417 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:37,600 of life so some of them like don't 418 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:40,760 necessarily I guess understand the newer 419 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,760 relations and stuff right so like keep 420 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:48,320 in mind that you have to just live within the terms as they're there and 421 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:54,159 and then some just in case so yeah lesson learned and uh it was a good one 422 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaking of lesson learned I wonder what lessons will be 423 00:31:55,639 --> 00:32:00,519 learned from this are origal Source here 424 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:07,880 is from the bbc.com 425 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:11,720 the United Kingdom is no longer part of 426 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:15,000 the European Union holy actual freaking 427 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,120 crap asterisk it's going to take like at 428 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,440 least two years and the referendum is not 429 00:32:18,639 --> 00:32:25,600 technically legally binding although anyone in the House of Commons that goes 430 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:31,360 against it is probably committing like career political suicide so it's 431 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:36,840 probably pretty much almost wow like definitely going to happen unbelievable 432 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:41,880 so I mean there there's a lot of incredible 433 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:46,919 stuff here like if you guys were like me you were probably glued to your phone 434 00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:49,360 last night uh just looking at all the 435 00:32:46,919 --> 00:32:54,720 mindblowing stats around this and and all the speculation going on but here's 436 00:32:51,399 --> 00:32:59,840 a few key ones 437 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,840 71.8% of eligible voters attended 438 00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:08,279 I have never I mean I know that it broke 439 00:33:04,919 --> 00:33:12,039 UK records but I mean does that does 440 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:16,200 that break every record it's like yeah 441 00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:17,880 people cared holy crap and and and 442 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:22,080 that's with like extreme weather conditions like flooding happening yeah 443 00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:27,840 so if like the weather was all good we probably would have been closer to like 444 00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:31,880 75 or 80% unbelievable unheard of and 445 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,080 and even more crazy is just how divided 446 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:42,519 the country was so in the end it was a mere 52 to 48% vote it was incredibly 447 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:45,440 close um England was just a touch higher 448 00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:50,039 uh on the leave side of things Wales was right there in the thick of things at 449 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,080 the average 52 and a half voted leave 47 450 00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:56,480 a half stay uh Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU 451 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,639 which is going to have some very interesting ramifications for the 452 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:08,760 Scotland uh England relationship over the next little bit uh with Scotland 453 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,839 going as far as to say uh yo um we might 454 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,679 have actually you know done the wrong thing 455 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:23,520 when we stayed in the UK a little while ago we might be uh refering referendum 456 00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:25,399 again um this is interesting okay no uh 457 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:30,639 one of my uh one of my one of my favorite keka over there sent me this 458 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:35,399 Wikipedia article on the Quebec referendum which was actually another uh 459 00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:40,280 quit I guess we could call it when when Quebec voted on whether to leave Canada 460 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:47,079 and become an independent country for the first time um this was on October 461 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:49,480 30th 1995 and 93.5 2% of people turned 462 00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:58,240 out to vote oh my goodness um the no option carried by 50.5% so yes there 463 00:34:52,919 --> 00:35:00,760 have been closer and um like 464 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:06,240 50.5 yeah I had forgotten how close that was so okay all right thanks a prime you 465 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:11,320 you got me there you got me there wow um I I should I should have studied up my 466 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:13,200 Canadian history better so what does all 467 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:18,240 this mean first let's talk a little bit about what being a member of the EU has 468 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:26,280 meant in in purely technological terms um cheaper airfares um easier uh easier 469 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:29,640 studying and traveling and living abroad 470 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:32,760 on the mainland in mainland Europe um 471 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:35,200 cheaper uh cell phone cheaper cell phone 472 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:40,920 service so the way that the EU has cracked down on roaming charges within 473 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:47,079 uh European union members has been a huge benefit to EU countries I have I 474 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:50,520 have been to the EU um and traveling 475 00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:51,560 over borders extraordinarily easy very 476 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:57,680 very cool essentially what the EU does the 477 00:35:54,839 --> 00:36:02,400 European Union does is turn the partner countries into a single market 478 00:36:00,319 --> 00:36:07,640 so they're essentially eliminating borders in a lot of ways for goods 479 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:09,520 Services people money um especially with 480 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:12,400 the Euro which was implemented what like 10 15 years ago something like that I 481 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:18,000 can't remember when the Euro got implemented but it wasn't like it was 482 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,800 not it was in my adult lifetime is like 483 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:25,599 I remember going to Paris and there still being Franks when I graduated high 484 00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:27,599 school uh oh whatever um so it began 485 00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:31,400 after World War II and it was all about economic 486 00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:36,520 cooperation um and has and has become more than that so the overall goal is to 487 00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:41,560 boost trade create jobs lower prices all right so why then did United Kingdom 488 00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:45,200 residents vote to leave so they claimed they were being held back said it would 489 00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:49,240 imposed too many rules on businesses and charged billions of pounds per year in 490 00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:52,440 membership fees for a little return uh wanted Britain to take back full control 491 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,480 of its borders and reduce the number of people coming to work and live in the 492 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,280 country because that's one of the thing as much as many Britain have been 493 00:36:57,079 --> 00:37:03,560 enjoying uh you know going and working or living 494 00:37:00,839 --> 00:37:09,119 over the uh the English Channel there well the same is true of anyone else who 495 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:11,160 wants to go and live in the UK they also 496 00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:15,720 objected to the move towards what they saw as the creation of a United States 497 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:20,680 of of Europe so to speak to the membership fees there was like a note 498 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,480 that I read where I think in 499 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:30,640 201415 you know the fiscal year 20145 um the the UK was charged 500 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:33,280 something like 8.8 billion pounds in 501 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:42,359 membership fees and they were able to trace back about 5.5 billion pounds uh 502 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:44,480 of actual benefit for UK citizens or UK 503 00:37:42,359 --> 00:37:50,920 residents um so that includes stuff like University grants housing grants Etc um 504 00:37:47,839 --> 00:37:52,319 so there's a significant cost to them um 505 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,680 for actually being a part of the union and that cost is essentially absorbed by 506 00:37:54,560 --> 00:38:02,280 some of the other members of the Union that contribute a bit less 507 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,480 so yeah I can I mean empirically I can 508 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:09,800 kind of understand the argument there but that's looking at that one statistic 509 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:14,240 in a vacuum and ignoring you know the free trade that it allows the free 510 00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:17,200 travel the free you knowe movement and you know what but there's a lot of 511 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:21,480 people who don't give a crap about that that's true and for them whatever if 512 00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:25,119 they just want to stay in leads or wherever and and live out their life 513 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:29,280 there then maybe it's better for them to just have a UK so uh here's a few 514 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:33,720 interesting interesting tidbits the pound has fallen to its lowest since or 515 00:38:32,359 --> 00:38:42,040 fell I don't know if it stayed there actually I haven't looked recently but it fell to its lowest since 516 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:45,000 1985 um fun fact um our our 517 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:51,680 amazon.co.uk uh affiliate uh payouts haven't been cashed in a really long 518 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:54,240 time I heard yeah so so we actually like 519 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:59,000 just lost uh like like a really long time I know so we just lost like a lot a 520 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:01,680 couple ,000 lb or something I think a lot yeah a lot I don't know how much 521 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:07,920 exactly but it's a lot I don't know how much exactly but it's like it's like not 522 00:39:04,319 --> 00:39:10,800 insignificant so thanks for that brexit 523 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:16,720 um the treasury forecaster rise between 7 and 1.1% in mortgage borrowing cost so 524 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:22,520 like that might not seem significant but I think it works out to somewhere around 525 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,640 1,000 pounds a year extra ouch and like 526 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:31,640 possibly years added to your mortgage so like compound interest dog that's 527 00:39:28,359 --> 00:39:36,560 sucks like yeah where the hell did this 528 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:38,960 come from emergency pun the EU now has 529 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:45,839 one GB more space I did not put that there whoever

that's fantastic I love it 624 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,960 random question yes this is I was thinking this when you were doing this 625 00:46:26,359 --> 00:46:33,839 spot if you had had to open a restaurant what kind of a restaurant would you open 626 00:46:30,359 --> 00:46:35,480 I would open a food restaurant and it's 627 00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:39,720 great because uh food restaurant American Dad actually has an episode 628 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:44,800 where the main character Stan opens what he calls the food restaurant or his food 629 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:48,720 restaurant and his food restaurant is stupid and I wouldn't open a food 630 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,280 restaurant like that because his served like I I don't know what it's like 631 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:58,960 chocolate dipped chicken wings or whatever like just just dumb stuff um so 632 00:46:54,359 --> 00:47:01,920 my food restaurant would be kind of like 633 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:07,359 um kind of like what I think restaurants like Whit spot try to do where they'll 634 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:12,839 have like a chicken teriyaki dish and they'll have like a fish and chips and 635 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:16,520 they'll have like a a butter chicken so like a variety restaurant they have a 636 00:47:14,359 --> 00:47:23,920 variety except the problem is that they do everything in sort of this super 637 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,079 non-authentic uh pandering to to you 638 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,800 know Midwestern you know white people 639 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:37,000 sort of way it's like you're trying butter chicken if you didn't actually want to eat butter chicken yeah exactly 640 00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:40,119 so so my food restaurant would be kind 641 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,720 of like a like an allar All-Star team 642 00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:46,119 yeah so it would it would kind of have it would have meals yeah so I don't 643 00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:52,040 actually know that we would do family style dishes I think it would be individual individual meals and I would 644 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:55,480 want those individual meals to like like it would I would kind of say okay we're 645 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,640 going to have a larger than normal kitchen we're going to have to kind of 646 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:03,280 absorb some some operating overhead there um going to have to have a couple 647 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:07,559 different chefs with different backgrounds yep you'll have to have a little bit of background I think you'll 648 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:13,440 have to bring in some Consultants whenever you want to introduce a new dish because you're not going to expect 649 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:18,079 your you know cinjun specialist to all of a sudden be able to whip up an 650 00:48:14,839 --> 00:48:19,559 amazing thae dish but I would say okay 651 00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:25,960 let's absorb some extra operating overhead here and let's be able to put 652 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:29,280 together kind of set set meals so that 653 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:32,280 any group people can come and dine and 654 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:35,040 you know if I'm going out with you know 655 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:41,319 um like a like a Taiwanese partner or something I can take them there and they 656 00:48:37,839 --> 00:48:43,640 can get some you know some dims or some 657 00:48:41,319 --> 00:48:47,599 you know Singaporean style H and chicken or whatever and I can have a burger and 658 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:51,520 both of those things will legitimately be somewhat authentic and good that 659 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:55,599 would be the objective of my restaurant okay what would your restaurant be I I'm 660 00:48:53,520 --> 00:49:00,040 curious now I don't I don't think this is very on topic but that's okay I'm 661 00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:03,720 curious that's okay I mean it's a similar Thing Luke and I actually talked 662 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:08,599 about this like a while ago and essentially what we came up with was 663 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:12,200 like there's very like Americanized 664 00:49:08,599 --> 00:49:14,119 dishes in each culture yep so like sweet 665 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:20,319 and sour pork from Chinese food chicken teriyaki californ chicken California 666 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:23,799 roll essentially having like Canadian 667 00:49:20,319 --> 00:49:25,760 food just being like the variety of 668 00:49:23,799 --> 00:49:29,040 other cultures of food that we all bring together and call Canadian food because 669 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:33,359 we have a lot of awesome cultures here with a lot of awesome food yeah that's true especially Vancouver it's great 670 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:38,079 actually there was another great restaurant idea that I had a while back 671 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:43,559 um I would want it to be like an icebreaker restaurant I think I'd call 672 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,839 it ice breakers um and the idea around 673 00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:50,160 here they think it was a hockey themed restaurant a hockey themed sports bar 674 00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:56,240 Ice Breakers with a z like we serve only Club Seal you know 675 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,880 um wow so my restaurant actually this 676 00:49:56,240 --> 00:50:04,040 was another really good idea I thought that I had every dish would be really 677 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:07,400 awkward to eat so like a plate of 678 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:09,319 spaghetti that is one long noodle right 679 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:15,160 um and the idea would be that you would go there with a date yeah knowing that 680 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:17,559 no one is going to be able to perfectly 681 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,880 consume every meal without getting something dribbling down their ARM or on 682 00:50:19,079 --> 00:50:26,040 their chin or whatever there's like an ad uh that somebody pretty much like did 683 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:30,000 that really except what it was was they were like okay were going to pair these 684 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:34,599 people up and then the person like they had to feed each other the food so they 685 00:50:32,319 --> 00:50:38,520 found like food that both people liked and they had to feed each other the food 686 00:50:36,319 --> 00:50:44,240 on like a first date so it was like awkward but not essentially fun um 687 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:49,040 people in the chat are just spamming rx480 I don't know what I'm supposed to 688 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:52,680 say about it yeah there's rumors yeah which we can't talk about so here's the 689 00:50:50,839 --> 00:50:58,559 thing um actually this is this is a good topic uh why aren't we talking about RX 690 00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:04,319 480 because we do talk about pre-release Hardware rumors very frequently yeah so 691 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:09,520 we're not talking about it because we know the 692 00:51:05,799 --> 00:51:11,559 answer we can talk about rumors when we 693 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:16,119 don't know the answer but once we've signed a non-disclosure agreement that 694 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:20,440 says we are going to independently evaluate the product that is not going 695 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:25,640 to affect the way that we look at this product but we are not going to say 696 00:51:22,599 --> 00:51:27,599 anything about it until such time as the 697 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:32,960 broad release of information is allowed to go out as specified by in this case 698 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:36,839 AMD um so once we've signed that we can't talk about it until it's time to 699 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:41,599 talk about it so a lot of people have asked you know why is it that every Tech 700 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:46,280 channel has a video on the GTX 1080 at exactly the same time that is why and 701 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:51,160 some people wonder why embargos are in place and they're like oh this is you 702 00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:54,960 know it must be because companies are paying people to do a review or 703 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:59,359 something like that it's so that there's Fair competition in the review Market 704 00:51:57,559 --> 00:52:04,000 it's so that we don't get an advantage from being lus Tech tips and having you 705 00:52:01,319 --> 00:52:08,640 know 2.7 whatever subscribers um or that weed a card first 706 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:13,079 or that we don't end up with a disadvantage because we're in Canada 707 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:17,760 California and our card gets you know held by Customs for 3 days or something 708 00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:22,359 like that so by having usually it's anywhere from about 5 on the very low 709 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:26,880 end which is very frustrating uh anywhere from about 5 to about 12 days 710 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:31,559 usually that's how long you have with a product so that allows enough time for 711 00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:36,520 something to go wrong like you know for someone's kid to to get sick and need 712 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:40,400 some chicken soup or whatever um for something to go wrong and for you to 713 00:52:37,799 --> 00:52:44,720 still get your your coverage out at the same time as everyone else apparently I 714 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:49,920 said 2.7 subscribers thank you twitch chat 2.7 million subscribers I think you 715 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:53,520 said 2.7 whatever subscribers so you you you didn't remember it was Millions but 716 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:58,640 you knew it was something so good job I mean I thought it might be billions and 717 00:52:55,240 --> 00:53:01,559 then SP speaking of good job cable 718 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:05,280 company overcharges might be even worse than you realize the original article 719 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:10,559 here is from RS Technica man I love those guys look at that flying sheet of 720 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:14,440 money and the other flying sheet of money and the other flying sheets of 721 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:18,799 money but this image is not about Freedom this image is about getting 722 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:22,520 fleeced by your cable provider especially if you're an American not 723 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:27,400 that I believe for a second that it's any better anywhere else so a senate 724 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:32,720 report Compares billing and and service records and finds massive overcharges 725 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:37,400 who the cable companies oh my goodness who would have thought not Charter and 726 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:42,480 its new subsidiary Time Warner Cable have apparently been overcharging 727 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:44,520 customers at least 7.2 million per year 728 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:49,200 for equipment and service the investigation is found so Time Warner 729 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:52,000 Cable overbuild customers Nationwide and estimated 730 00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:59,040 $639,950 how did they get an estimate that goes right down to the single 731 00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:03,240 dollar anyway between January and April 732 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:05,319 of this year uh and these problems are 733 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:10,160 bad because neither company had been issuing automatic refunds or credits to 734 00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:15,000 overcharged customers so during the six and a halfe 735 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:19,520 time period examined by the committee TWC and Charter made no effort to trace 736 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:25,200 equipment overages to their origin unless customers specifically asked them 737 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:28,160 to and did not provide notice or refunds 738 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:31,559 to customers Comcast has in the past overcharged customers but they do a much 739 00:54:29,839 --> 00:54:36,040 better job at issuing refunds apparently than Time Warner cable Comcast told the 740 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:41,880 subcommittee that it only had a billing error rate of. 741 00:54:37,839 --> 00:54:43,240 3% Comcast told them so it must be true 742 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:47,040 Time Warner Cable will begin investigating the overcharges only if 743 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:51,280 customers bring it to their attention so if you're a Time Warner Cable customer 744 00:54:49,559 --> 00:54:57,119 give them a ring over there and I don't mean this kind of ring I mean the kind 745 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,760 of ring that goes yo dog SU 746 00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:04,000 I mean I have a feeling that you would have to sit on like a hold for at least 747 00:55:02,079 --> 00:55:07,559 two hours to get through to them well yeah there's that yeah you end up 748 00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:11,799 suffering more than the $4 that you probably individually got overcharged 749 00:55:09,119 --> 00:55:16,119 anyway going forward both companies will apparently provide customers with a 750 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:23,160 notice if they are overcharged that's good I wish we could 751 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:26,480 overcharge by like 7 million and just 752 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:28,559 chill with it yeah I also like I'd be 753 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:31,960 down it actually I wouldn't be down that would be totally wrong but it would be 754 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:36,640 totally wrong but it would be dope if it wasn't that was like that was the thing 755 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:42,319 that blew my mind with the uh Charter and Time Warner Cable merger or whatever 756 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,799 MH um where the Time Warner Cable CEO 757 00:55:42,319 --> 00:55:47,559 apparently had it written into his contract that he got some obscene amount 758 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:53,400 of money should ownership of the company change three months later he was already 759 00:55:50,559 --> 00:55:58,160 putting pen to paper for a change of ownership of the 760 00:55:55,240 --> 00:56:03,240 company he was totally interested in bettering 761 00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:05,280 the company yeah no conflict of interest 762 00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:11,799 there whatsoever whatsoever you know it's funny how many inherent conflicts 763 00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:13,839 of interest exist in the world um I mean 764 00:56:11,799 --> 00:56:19,799 and and this is all like sanctioned stuff like you recently oh are we able 765 00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:21,559 to talk about that sorry your big thing 766 00:56:19,799 --> 00:56:26,039 that happened recently that's been very exciting for you and kind of crazy oh uh 767 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:30,440 like have you been are you out are you out didn't tell anyone oh okay okay we 768 00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:35,880 don't have to talk about that um so am I out I what that's the 769 00:56:37,039 --> 00:56:43,720 terminology okay um I'm moving I'm not 770 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:48,680 changing my sexuality or something like that which is what it sounded like you 771 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:52,839 were saying I'm moving that's the the 772 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:54,200 big news so when you deal with a realtor 773 00:56:52,839 --> 00:56:59,160 okay whether you're buying whether you're leasing whatever the case may be 774 00:56:56,240 --> 00:57:05,400 when you deal with a realtor ultimately there exists as far as I can 775 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:07,240 tell an inherent conflict of interest 776 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:11,440 and to be clear I have met some very good Realtors very good people but there 777 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:19,839 is an inherent conflict of interest because the seller or the leaser not the 778 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:21,680 leasy or um sell e whatever I don't care 779 00:57:19,839 --> 00:57:28,599 you guys get the point so the seller or whoever's leasing the property pays the 780 00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:32,039 realtor fees they they pay that sort of 781 00:57:28,599 --> 00:57:33,920 on top of the or or out of the amount 782 00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:41,400 not on top of sorry out of the negotiated rate that the buyer ends up 783 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:44,200 agreeing to pay so the way it works is 784 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:47,559 that let's say hypothetically a house is uh 785 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:52,079 $440,000 for example let's say hypothetically so what would happen is a 786 00:57:49,799 --> 00:57:57,160 typical real estate agent uh commission is I think somewhere in the one 787 00:57:54,240 --> 00:58:01,280 to quite a bit more than one I think as high as like three or 4% yeah can't 788 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:05,760 remember exact I it depends on market conditions like in Vancouver right now I 789 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:10,799 think it's somewhere in the 1 to four whereas you know if housing prices were 790 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:16,720 closer to1 or $200,000 it would probably be a little higher um cl to 5 to eight 791 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:22,160 so basically what happens is the seller is responsible for paying that to their 792 00:58:19,079 --> 00:58:23,680 realtor that they have entered a a 793 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:29,200 covenant with or whatever the case may be to represent them so that Realtor 794 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:32,599 ultimately like there's this code of ethics or whatever which is great for 795 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:35,880 people who actually abide by those types of codes but I've certainly met those 796 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:39,160 who don't uh there's this code of ethics that says that they have to represent 797 00:58:37,119 --> 00:58:44,720 you and blah blah blah but the fact of the matter is they get paid no matter 798 00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:49,400 what and they get paid by the seller they get paid more if the rate is higher 799 00:58:47,839 --> 00:58:55,720 so okay if they're representing the seller then that's great but there's a 800 00:58:53,359 --> 00:59:01,760 realtor potentially and often in in many cases for the buyer as well who also 801 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,960 gets paid by the seller who also gets 802 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:11,280 paid a proportion of the amount that the property sells for and who the selling 803 00:59:08,039 --> 00:59:13,400 realtor has to split the commission with 804 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:17,839 if there's a buying realtor present so this creates all kinds of conflicts like 805 00:59:16,079 --> 00:59:21,760 choosing a buyer which you're not supposed to do based on them being 806 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:26,160 self-represented in which case the the Sellers realtor takes the entire 807 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:30,240 commission versus another buyer who has a realtor who is sticking up for their 808 00:59:28,119 --> 00:59:34,680 best interest there's dual agency which is like the the most broken thing ever 809 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:39,200 where one realtor represents both par becoming super illegal in like most of 810 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:44,319 Canada because it's incredibly messed up not here yet that's for sure um where 811 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:48,480 basically there's these negotiating there's these negotiators on both side 812 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:52,640 both of whom it is in their best interest to flip through properties as 813 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:57,440 quickly as possible at as high a rate as possible and I to believe as a buyer 814 00:59:55,160 --> 01:00:01,440 especially that this is somehow in my best 815 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:06,319 interest good luck fortunately my realtor is actually the dad of someone 816 01:00:04,079 --> 01:00:10,839 that my wife went to high school with and like their families know each other 817 01:00:08,039 --> 01:00:15,520 and so there's there's some trust there um and he is he has not he has not 818 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:21,200 steered me wrong um which is which is good but anyway uh let's move on to this 819 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:27,680 fantastic article over here on polygon Counter Strike player files suit against 820 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:29,680 valve over illegal gambling surrounding 821 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:36,799 CS go very interesting I mean it was a 822 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:38,520 matter of time yeah before skins and 823 01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:42,720 match I mean you've already got match fixing so you're as close to real 824 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:47,200 gambling as you can be before being declared real gambling that only adults 825 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:51,200 can participate in you know age of majority and all that stuff that goes 826 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:54,720 along with normal gambling sites and gambling participation and gambling 827 01:00:52,920 --> 01:01:00,440 establishments there was also something that happened recently 828 01:00:56,799 --> 01:01:03,160 um I'm trying to find 829 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:07,799 it something along the lines of one of the betting sites had a deal with a 830 01:01:05,039 --> 01:01:12,400 streamer where they would tell him like when he was going to win so that he 831 01:01:10,039 --> 01:01:18,480 would bet higher on those and then like freak out when he won um essentially 832 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:24,359 just the scummiest thing I've ever heard of so creating more glamour around the 833 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:26,599 practice of of betting um so Connecticut 834 01:01:24,359 --> 01:01:30,520 resident Michael John McLoud has filed a suit currently seeking class action 835 01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:35,240 status and I don't actually see that being a difficult thing to achieve here 836 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:39,640 against valve and three skin gambling and selling sites and the complaint 837 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:43,680 alleges that valve knowingly allowed and has been complicit in creating 838 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:48,119 sustaining and facilitating a market where players and third party tra third 839 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:52,279 uh and excuse me where players and third parties trade weapon skins it continues 840 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:56,200 that they knowingly allowed supported Andor sponsored illegal gambling by 841 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:59,559 allowing millions of Americans to link their individual steam accounts to third 842 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:03,000 party websites that's that's interesting 843 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:07,680 because I mean you know there's plenty of legitimate uses for valves login 844 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:10,880 credentials being valid on a thirdparty website like oh say for example I don't 845 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,839 know Linus Tech tips Forum where you can use your steam credentials and all the 846 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:18,319 encryption and account management is done over on valve side we never even 847 01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:22,359 get it we just get a hash or a token or whatever and you can use your your valve 848 01:02:20,839 --> 01:02:26,240 two-factor authentication all that good stuff um so there's plenty of legit uses 849 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:30,640 for that but I can see where kind of coming from here uh in the Esports 850 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:35,760 gambling economy this is further further allegations Skins are like casino chips 851 01:02:33,359 --> 01:02:40,359 that have monetary value outside the game itself because of the ability to 852 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:44,480 convert them directly into cash it also alleges that some third party CSCO 853 01:02:42,119 --> 01:02:49,960 websites don't require age verification which allows miners to bet as 854 01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:57,160 well Bloomberg has reported that CSCO skin gambling is currently a$2 billion 855 01:02:53,240 --> 01:03:00,440 industry so in some valve owns the 856 01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:02,680 league sells the casino chips and 857 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:06,000 receives a piece of the casino's income stream through foreign websites in order 858 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:12,960 to maintain the charade that valve is not promoting and profiting from online gambling 859 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:15,160 wow uh oh I mean I'm not a legal 860 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:19,520 expert we should get like that should be added to our lower third actually just 861 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:24,279 permanently not a lawyer next to next to my Twitter handle it should just say not 862 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:30,359 not a lawyer at Linus Tech Linus Tech yeah um but I got to say that sounds 863 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:36,599 from just a sort of like a rational reasonable person who's been observing 864 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:43,960 kind of this weird environment over the last few years that sounds not quite 865 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,720 bulletproof but pretty 866 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:51,480 compelling yeah it's not great everyone everyone 867 01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:58,440 twitch shats like sell your skins sell your skins now get out I 868 01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:05,359 honestly since it's the Tulip bubble of the 1800s or whatever since this whole 869 01:04:01,799 --> 01:04:08,319 thing began I mean I was always kind of 870 01:04:05,359 --> 01:04:13,279 questioning it because it's like huh don't you normally have to get like 871 01:04:10,119 --> 01:04:15,440 licenses to gamble and stuff yeah it's 872 01:04:13,279 --> 01:04:19,760 like pretty tightly regulated in Canada you have to spend a certain amount of 873 01:04:16,799 --> 01:04:26,480 your income on anti-gambling advertisement like this is a really 874 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:28,760 tightly regulated industry B deal like a 875 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:31,920 huge deal and you know they've they've gotten away with it for so long just 876 01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:34,599 because I think people don't really understand like the people who would 877 01:04:33,279 --> 01:04:40,119 come after them don't really understand what's happening so this might shed a 878 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:42,720 bit more light on that um because yeah 879 01:04:40,119 --> 01:04:47,960 it is not a good thing in my opinion I mean it's just it's so 880 01:04:45,559 --> 01:04:52,920 accessible cuz it's literally using something that you get as a drop 881 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:57,960 potentially in a game that you've paid for and you're playing to get you tied 882 01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:02,359 into into it mhm and whether valve agrees or not that they are quote 883 01:04:59,559 --> 01:05:07,000 unquote facilitating it I mean I think there's an argument to be made there 884 01:05:03,799 --> 01:05:09,480 again not a lawyer don't understand law 885 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:13,799 very well at all M but I think that there is an argument to be made against 886 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:18,000 valve in this situation so we'll be interesting to see what 887 01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:21,599 happens that's for sure to be clear no means no you said you didn't know the 888 01:05:20,359 --> 01:05:26,640 law very well I'm just making sure you're at least aware of 889 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:32,359 that I'm just I'm going to have all sorts of stuff on my Twitter 890 01:05:29,119 --> 01:05:34,880 about yeah I'm just I'm not oh yeah you 891 01:05:32,359 --> 01:05:37,599 can you can find him at Nick LMG or something like that is that is that 892 01:05:36,119 --> 01:05:43,520 right or is there an underscore in there no that sounds Nick LMG all right so 893 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:47,920 Microsoft will use steam to sell Windows games not just its own store wow a move 894 01:05:46,119 --> 01:05:53,319 for Microsoft that actually looks like they actually care very nice original 895 01:05:50,319 --> 01:05:56,240 article here is from RS Technica um and 896 01:05:53,319 --> 01:05:59,960 a couple of their latest um blah blah blah blah blah blah a couple of their 897 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:05,079 latest games so Forza 6 Apex and Killer Instinct have done well on the store but 898 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:07,079 Quantum break did not so maybe they're 899 01:06:05,079 --> 01:06:10,200 kind of going oh gee maybe we don't have to be the only store that sells our 900 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:15,720 games maybe we could give someone else a cut although valve does take a very significant cut um but Phil Spencer said 901 01:06:13,839 --> 01:06:19,599 Microsoft will ship games on Steam again and noted that while some game releases 902 01:06:17,319 --> 01:06:24,799 have done well in Windows store um Quantum break wasn't our best PC release 903 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:30,640 and Gears of War Ultimate Edition was okay 904 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:33,880 awesome I'm excited because I almost 905 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,720 play nothing that isn't on Steam it is 906 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:42,559 so convenient it's like it's prohibitive to not have your game on Steam 907 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:47,440 nowadays it just feels like steam is the way to game I mean I guess there's 908 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:51,599 blizzard Battle.net or whatever but still you can still 909 01:06:50,359 --> 01:06:56,160 technically launch those games through Steam you just have to yeah actually set 910 01:06:53,599 --> 01:07:01,119 it up yeah um we've got a a couple other sort of Rapid FY topics here uh SanDisk 911 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:06,240 made an iPhone case with built-in storage up to 128 gigs of extra storage 912 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:11,440 all it does is bulk up the phone surprisingly little actually not that 913 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:16,480 badly and instead of investing in additional $300 or whatever it is to get 914 01:07:14,119 --> 01:07:20,319 an iPhone with that amount of storage you can just have a bumper case on it 915 01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:23,359 that has a little bit more bulk at the bottom by the lightning connector so 916 01:07:21,839 --> 01:07:27,880 that there can be a power pass through and so that it can have a data interface to that storage and 917 01:07:26,039 --> 01:07:35,559 off you go the one problem with this is that you will be limited to USB 2 speeds 918 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:37,240 but uh it requ requires a companion app 919 01:07:35,559 --> 01:07:40,559 um it can only store certain things it backs up your camera roll uh does 920 01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:44,119 password protect your photos and any files that have that that are on there 921 01:07:42,359 --> 01:07:47,839 so that's nice uh and you can also get a battery pack on it for an extra 40 bucks 922 01:07:46,039 --> 01:07:52,480 yeah 1,00 milliamp battery pack I mean that will turn your iPhone 6s into like 923 01:07:50,119 --> 01:07:59,640 a bit of a brick but uh 32 gigs of storage is 60 bucks uh 64 gigs is 100 924 01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:01,480 and 128 is 130 see this by the way apple 925 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:06,760 is how pricing for additional flash storage should 926 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:13,119 work yeah g yeah it's kind of messed up um 927 01:08:11,319 --> 01:08:18,400 yeah I guess there's I don't know there's like some iPhone 7 rumors or 928 01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:21,719 something I'm not really sure how much I care about that uh there were a couple 929 01:08:20,319 --> 01:08:27,159 other things that I thought were pretty pretty interesting where did they go uh 930 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:31,600 you know what now let's call that it for the day thanks for watching W show and a 931 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:36,319 huge thanks to Nick you guys uh again you can find him
