WEBVTT

00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:10.000
all right guys welcome to the WAN Show

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

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:20.519
of you out there in twitch Twitch

00:00:17.439 --> 00:00:23.359
streaming land and oh crap I've got the

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

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

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:36.879
is nice I am unfortunately without Luke this week

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

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

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:49.039
me in a short while here and uh you know

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:54.920
it's funny I was planning to have the show go completely smoothly with no

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

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:04.159
around but I will confess to you now I I

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:07.320
have not yet actually tested uh my

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:11.159
screen share so this is the moment of

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:13.280
truth will I be having H an easy well

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.400
not easy I mean you know live streaming is it's very difficult very very

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:23.360
difficult but will I be having a seamless show today or oh look at that

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

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:32.079
there's been some big news and there's been some little news um researchers

00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:36.200
built a 1,000 core processor I'll be talking about that and why it probably

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

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:46.960
YouTube's terms of service have been updated uh it's mostly around their

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:49.119
harassment and cyber bullying policy so

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:54.399
that is going to have potentially

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.920
huge um ramifications for some YouTubers

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:02.920
out there who are basically making a living out of harassment and cyber bully

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:08.640
uh twitch brings cfaa and trademark claim against bot operators apparently

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:13.000
they are a persistent frustration out is some strong language coming from their

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:20.239
uh senior vice president marketing okay and in much

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:26.840
Huger news that's not necessarily directly purely Tech related but will

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:32.920
absolutely have an effect on technology and how that how that works especially

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:37.879
for Europe an moving forward the UK has

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:41.040
voted to leave the EU it is it is final

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.159
but there are some important other notes

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:48.599
about it that we're going to be talking a little bit about later so without

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:54.319
further Ado Let's uh get on Twitch chat

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:56.720
here and see if uh see if wow no one is

00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:01.239
complaining that is amazing and here come all the complaints

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

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:11.209
pretending not to read

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:32.159
them square face oh what the heck it's

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:37.040
like four pixels off look at that we're like dancing oh

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:43.120
wait also for some reason we have much darker skin in this one fascinating

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:48.080
tunnel bear fresh books and those are all the same but the

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.879
blank ones ah one of these days one of these

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.079
days we're going to become a real professional Media company and we're not

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

00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:04.000
never happening all right so let's jump right into to our first topic here the

00:04:01.079 --> 00:04:09.519
original article here is from n Gadget researchers build a

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:12.120
1,000 core processor that they

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:19.000
call the kilo cor yeah that makes sense so in a

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:25.800
nutshell what a what a kilo core or or a many many core processor would be

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:29.720
optimized for is as you can well imagine

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.120
performing many many parallel operations

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

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:41.080
have pretty much any relevance to you

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:49.240
the person sitting there who wants to play games or um encode video that you

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:51.639
edited or I mean really most of what you

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

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.840
relevance for you um I don't want to say

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

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.479
the limitation of the way that we

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:11.400
currently code software is usually when

00:05:09.479 --> 00:05:16.520
it comes to Performance the single-threaded performance of the CPU

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:23.680
or CPUs that are being used to handle the workload it will take an enormous change

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:30.120
in the way that programming is done for something like this hyper low power kilo

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.280
cor processor to have much Rel to

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:38.520
someone who wants to even you know General web browsing can consume a lot

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:40.919
of CPU horsepower these days but there

00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:46.360
are things that it can be used for sorting through data encryption uh one

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.280
of the applicability sort of notes that I have in here is encoding videos but

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:56.720
that is heavily dependent on the codec being used for one thing and for well I

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:02.800
mean how many video streams you're trying to encode so if you could make

00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:08.199
a th core processor that is powerful enough for each of the cores to handle

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:14.599
an individual encoding stream holy crap I mean I could see a site like twitch or

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.199
like YouTube being all over that kind of

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:20.840
Technology it's like you mean we can have a thousand cores Each of which can

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:27.840
handle an incoming video encoding request from a file upload by itself and

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:30.599
these things can consume uh let's

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

00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:40.160
without the benefit of the latest manufacturing process node so this was

00:06:37.960 --> 00:06:45.120
actually built on 32 nanometer technology which is quite archaic at

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

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.960
or five years ago that would have been considered state-ofthe-art so the

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:58.120
processor handles 115 billion instructions per second and

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

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:07.560
directly rather than on a shared cache of memory though again it should be

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.000
noted that that will only be more efficient for certain workloads where

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:16.360
the cores need to share data directly with each other and where you can build

00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:21.879
enough interconnects for the cores to not have to leap over multiple other

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.400
cores in order to access another one very very cool so let's just see if

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

00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:35.520
like most of the news articles this one's over on bgr.com are just pulling

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:37.879
generic CPU pictures off of Shutterstock

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:43.160
here oo flight attendants and passengers get away with this all the time

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:47.479
fascinating love it thank you for that love those sponsored articles under the

00:07:45.159 --> 00:07:54.440
actual article that I'm trying to read all right so the original Source

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:56.879
here is dexerto.com a site that we've

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

00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:06.520
that's POS so there have been some changes to the

00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:13.280
YouTube terms of service that Target harassment now to be clear I don't have

00:08:10.159 --> 00:08:16.319
a strong objection to changing terms of

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:17.919
service to prevent cyber bullying um or

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.560
harassment and honestly I don't know why we really even call it cyber bullying

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:26.720
bullying is bullying and calling it e bullying it's almost like or cyber

00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:31.519
bullying is almost like softening it I mean what's actually you know what would

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:37.959
be considered more adulterous sex or cyber sex you know

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:42.760
what do we consider to be more sport-like

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:45.120
sports or Esports and I don't personally

00:08:42.760 --> 00:08:50.160
believe that cyber bullying has the potential to be any less harmful than

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

00:08:51.720 --> 00:09:00.600
trapped because you can't even escape from it online so anyway YouTube has

00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.959
made some changes to the terms in

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:06.560
cases where harassment crosses the line

00:09:03.959 --> 00:09:13.040
into a malicious attack it can be reported and will be removed so this is

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:18.519
referring specifically to a video that a user would upload so harassment may

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:24.120
include abusive videos comments and messages revealing someone's personal

00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:26.600
information which is great I mean doxing

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.720
is never okay maliciously recording someone without their consent that's

00:09:28.959 --> 00:09:34.399
interesting how do you determine that it is

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:38.600
malicious and I mean what does that do for an awful lot of YouTube videos that

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.200
are just like this person fail look how stupid

00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:47.560
they are that's uh that's that's interesting

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:51.640
that could have serious ramifications for Content that it will be uploaded and

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.760
a lot of content that's already on the site making hurtful and negative

00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:01.399
comments and videos about another person deliberately posting content in order to

00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:05.279
humiliate at someone unwanted

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:11.200
sexualization which encompasses sexual harassment or sexual bullying in any

00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:13.800
form and incitement to harass other

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:19.959
users or creators interesting note is that uh

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:28.560
what's what's that channel called Drama alert yeah or something yeah K yeah

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.760
drama alert got a new host within

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:34.560
minutes minutes of this announcement hours of this announcement hi Nick

00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:37.279
welcome to the show hello everyone um that's partially due to that and

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

00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:47.800
uploading this to YouTube no personal attacks okay no harassment allegedly not

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.399
a very nice personed um and a lot of

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:54.680
people have been posting videos essentially attacking him so it's like a

00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:58.920
two-fold thing I think with that but yes they did replace their host funny how

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

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:10.200
kids say actually I think that's a somewhat dated expression which kids the

00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:17.160
70-year-old kids oh come on I'm not 70 anyway you

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:21.160
can report people that are breaking the new and updated terms of service using

00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:26.480
YouTube's reporting tool speaking of which I actually need to deal with a

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:29.800
false flag on one of our stupid videos

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.959
uh yeah every um every it's uh basically

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

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:39.639
you're a uh verified verified YouTuber

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

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:49.120
every once in a while someone will say that our video needs closed

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:51.000
captioning um which that would be nice

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:55.680
yeah yeah but we've looked into it before it's just really expensive for no

00:11:53.160 --> 00:12:01.480
there saying it needs it some videos legally must have closed captioning um

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:06.639
if they've been uploaded as broadcast television in the United States then

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

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

00:12:13.079 --> 00:12:18.160
like a public resource yeah then I think it has to have close captioning as well

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

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.920
every once in a while happens but uh

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:31.720
this is this is pretty potentially pretty far reaching I mean fortunately

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

00:12:34.760 --> 00:12:43.760
mean really for any online content creator once again the uh powerlessness

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.000
that we have I mean on the one hand you

00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:50.760
think yeah you know internet video you know kind of freedom of expression say

00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:54.959
whatever say whatever you want but at the end of the day what people have to

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:59.320
realize is that youtube.com is Google's playground and

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

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:06.880
and while this again doesn't affect us

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:11.360
because we don't harass or bully people on the lus tech tips Channel because a

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

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:23.040
that's not personal that's the product um but these terms are pretty open-ended

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

00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:33.160
as bullying are they going to constitute satire as bullying yeah because that's a

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

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

00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:47.440
lot of concerning questions um and censorship is often the lead to the

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

00:13:49.160 --> 00:13:54.560
place to actually handle this properly and they're just going to make sure that

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.920
they review everything before they do it unlike their copyright system um they

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

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

00:14:05.079 --> 00:14:13.959
been a lot of questionable content on the platform um but it has a huge

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:19.480
potential to go bad with that said they are making strides towards improving

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:25.880
these things for example um it used to be that if someone filed a copyright

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:28.320
claim against you your monetization got

00:14:25.880 --> 00:14:32.720
pulled even though the video might stay up during the appeal period but your

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:37.079
monetization got pulled so um for example the monetization would go to the

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:41.639
the person who was claiming it right I don't think so in some situations I

00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:46.600
think if it was like uh someone who Auto detection of Music yes but depending on

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:52.040
what it was sometimes Monet and I've had monetization just pulled for other

00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:54.519
reasons okay during a dispute or an

00:14:52.040 --> 00:14:58.680
appeal period for example um this is this is actually a great example it's an

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

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.480
was I was so freaking mad about this at

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.199
the time obviously it's water under the bridge at this point I love my YouTube

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.519
overlords um we love you please don't shut us down yeah please don't please

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

00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:24.759
videos this is back from uh 2012 and I

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

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:34.000
original razor blade so let's go ahead and full screen this

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

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

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:47.680
switchblade interface so razor blade thin and light

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.920
gaming notebook featuring and you guys can't read all the way over here because

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:56.399
we're covering it here I'll just move us featuring switchblade unboxing so what

00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:02.240
happened with this video was that YouTube actually flagged it

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:10.240
automatically for Dangerous content containing

00:16:06.839 --> 00:16:12.440
weapons so I'm going to pull up um I'm

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

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:20.279
I'll explain exactly why I was so upset

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:26.560
about it so the way that my compensation structure worked at NCI at the time was

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

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:35.759
it was as high as 45 at one time 45

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

00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:43.920
it was like $10 per unboxing or something like that like it was it was a

00:16:41.199 --> 00:16:47.680
pretty low r or like $15 or something um but remember the production values

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

00:16:50.959 --> 00:16:56.920
sometimes there were two shots if you made a mistake sometimes there weren't

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

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

00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:08.360
the person behind the camera waving frantically going stop stop stop and

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

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

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:23.439
think it's bad now yeah um so let's go let's pull up my

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

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

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:37.080
also got was a cut of the YouTube

00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:41.000
AdSense so that was how we ended up with

00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:42.640
ads on the videos so here are the first

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

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:55.200
got pulled immediately because of the word

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:57.480
switchblade and in the first five days

00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:04.919
for me in 2012 okay like 70 80,000 views like how

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:08.120
many views is this about 80 to 990,000

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:10.440
views in the first week was unheard of

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

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:19.880
higher on the platform at the time and and a variety of other reasons why this

00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:25.080
was really upsetting but I it just got pulled it just got completely pulled I

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

00:18:28.120 --> 00:18:35.320
laptop computer and nothing to do with razors nothing to do with blades and

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:41.360
nothing to do with switchblade knives um hey put this back but they

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

00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:53.039
really long story was they're improving they're getting better true but

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:55.440
uh it's not perfect yet and uh and I

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.640
totally totally hope that they don't screw this up all right speaking of

00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:04.720
screwing things up the original article here is from polygon and I'll let uh

00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.320
I'll let Nick go ahead and introduce this topic here haven't even read this

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

00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:14.799
into this one that's cool um so last Friday twitch filed a lawsuit against

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:18.440
seven individuals organizations that are in business of selling Bots uh these

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:22.799
Bots are designed to artificially inflate the viewer and follower counts

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:26.559
of twitch streamers uh they are a persistent frustration in the words of

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:32.280
their marketing senior vice president Matthew dietro uh uh and they have

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:37.440
announced that they are now creating a very real problem on the platform so

00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:41.840
these Bots have been used to deny deny streamers Partnerships or harass other

00:19:39.320 --> 00:19:46.440
broadcasters and twitch employs techn technological solutions that detect and

00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:52.480
remove false viewer or Bots currently um so the lawsuit represents a third layer

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:54.960
in their strategy against bots here and

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.200
uh yeah among the allegations there are federal trademark infringement unfair

00:19:56.919 --> 00:20:04.039
competition cyber squatting fraud breach of contract and torous interference so

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:07.760
they're seeking injunctions against the bot makers including the transfer of the

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:13.679
possession of their domains they're ordering barring payment processors from

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:19.039
uh providing them with service and restitution legal fees and punitive

00:20:15.679 --> 00:20:22.679
damages I mean Bots are a huge problem

00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.760
for pretty much any platform that is

00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:30.760
trying to monetize uh views or ad Impressions

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:32.159
because I mean there are a reason that I

00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:39.679
don't know if you know this but the the Google AdSense terms of service

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:42.360
basically do not care why bot traffic is

00:20:39.679 --> 00:20:46.400
viewing ads on your site so this is like a really scary thing this is not

00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:51.480
actually why we lost our Google um our Google AdSense account that had to do

00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:54.240
with people posting uh racy images on

00:20:51.480 --> 00:21:00.120
the Forum pictures lewd pictures on the Forum that like buried in a thread of

00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:06.559
you know four was like a 400 page desktop wallpaper thread and it's like

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.720
you know you need to be moding

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

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.520
ads on the Linus Tech tips for anymore but but this is an interesting

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:20.200
interesting fact is that their terms of service don't give a crap why there are

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

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:28.240
after you with a shoot first ask questions later approach you'll get cut

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

00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:37.799
maliciously coding Bots and creating

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

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:47.960
value of Google's product for that for their purposes that approach makes sense

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:51.120
because if the burden of proof is on them and they have no way to prove

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

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

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

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

00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:14.000
even that you know some of the ads are being boted the advertisers are coming

00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:18.200
after you and going why am I paying you for nothing yeah paying for absolutely

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:25.559
nothing I mean with twitch it's more complicated because I mean you can't

00:22:21.679 --> 00:22:29.240
just go you know oh twitch streamer X Y

00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:31.480
or Z you know uh yo you're banned from

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:36.240
the platform until because I mean malicious actions towards twitch

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:42.039
streamers that have nothing to do with them you know so common you know whether

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:45.200
it's as as silly as you know fake pizza

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.440
deliveries or you know getting into a

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:54.600
much more malicious territory things like swatting um this is a huge thing

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:57.080
it's something about that community that

00:22:54.600 --> 00:23:03.840
thinks you know trolling the onair personality is somehow appropriate

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:07.960
so for twitch to come in and start going heavy-handed like anyone who has Bots

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

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:20.799
subscriber revenue is getting withheld I mean that would be grossly unfair yeah

00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:24.640
so the the the issue is so multifaceted

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:27.400
on Twitch too because as a new viewer to

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:31.120
a game you're going to click on probably one of the top broadcast asers within

00:23:29.080 --> 00:23:34.679
that game category so if someone's botting they're not only trying to get

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

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:44.480
featured or or whatever it is so yeah it's just such a I mean like

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

00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:53.120
maliciously maybe they're trying to help the content creator in their own

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

00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:01.799
the worst thing yeah yeah click fraud

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

00:24:05.679 --> 00:24:10.640
especially a smaller one I mean for

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:14.840
actually this is a great opportunity for me to get into um to get into what

00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:22.600
happened with our Amazon Associates account but anytime a content creator

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:24.400
runs a fowl of a much larger entity

00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:29.039
whether we're talking about Google Amazon twitch owned by Amazon um

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:34.279
speaking of much larger entities it can be so hard and I

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

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:43.120
program like um you know an Amazon Associates or like the Creator

00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:46.559
management team at a company like Google which is like you know so there's

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:51.399
alphabet and then there's Google and then there's YouTube and then there's

00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:53.000
like sales and marketing and content

00:24:51.399 --> 00:24:56.480
acquisition and content development and then there's this tiny little team like

00:24:54.520 --> 00:25:01.520
talent management and there are literally millions of creators in some

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:07.440
cases at least hundreds of thousands that much we know for sure so for even

00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:13.840
someone like me where I would like to think that I'm fairly significant I

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:17.399
think I'm in the top 500 and change of

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:20.039
YouTubers um let's say top 600 to be

00:25:17.399 --> 00:25:25.279
safe even for me getting in touch with a partner manager took until about a year

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:26.720
in change ago just to give you guys some

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

00:25:30.520 --> 00:25:35.840
did I tell you that yeah they weren't actually reaching out about the lonus

00:25:33.919 --> 00:25:42.000
tech tips Channel we completely slipped through the cracks let's be fair though

00:25:37.520 --> 00:25:45.399
the like the contact email on that on

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.600
that channel is extremely messy so like

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

00:25:49.679 --> 00:25:57.919
phone for every email all right all right I would have noticed okay I I was

00:25:54.039 --> 00:26:01.480
like wow they talked to me oh be still

00:25:57.919 --> 00:26:03.799
my heart so um so especially for a small

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:07.679
content creator anytime so okay anyway it's really small teams managing this

00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:11.840
stuff they only have so much bandwidth to manually review things so a lot of

00:26:09.679 --> 00:26:16.360
this stuff is done by automated systems and to get someone to review it has to

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:21.000
be done in a priority fashion so so if you have 500 subscribers on YouTube Good

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

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:28.840
get it back it took YouTube literally five years to ever get in touch with me

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:34.840
about anything um and when uh so getting into the

00:26:31.080 --> 00:26:37.720
Amazon thing when I was found to be in

00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:43.120
breach of Amazon's Associates terms of service my appeal process was basically

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:52.520
yo can we talk about this on the phone yo no no

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:54.399
um Good Luck elsewhere so it is so it

00:26:52.520 --> 00:26:59.720
can be pretty tough now with that said so so leading back into because you know

00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:04.720
we consider ourselves to be something of a of a key online

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:08.840
video program when it comes to technology um and I know a few people

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:14.320
who know a few people who know a few people who were willing to stick their

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.000
necks out on my behalf um I do actually

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

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:28.559
I did announce that Amazon Associates

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:31.240
our Amazon links were were dead our

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:37.000
account was dead and everything was dead um since that time I have managed to get

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:42.559
on the phone with someone and it looks like we are going to work together to

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:48.519
move forward I've actually got some some notes that uh that I put together about

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:51.200
sort of what what has exactly G on so it

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:56.480
was pointed out to me that anyone is allowed even unless you've been found to

00:27:53.159 --> 00:27:59.159
be like clearly maliciously abusing the

00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:04.480
program um anyone is allowed to change their business model and to a compliant

00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:10.640
business model and reapply um so we've actually been

00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:14.799
approved as of yesterday morning for a

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:17.120
new account um and you know here's what

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

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:27.279
seen that anywhere yet because we're working very carefully to go through our

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:31.960
everything and make sure that all of our practices all of our editors know you

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

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

00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:44.519
do not imagine for a second that I have

00:28:40.919 --> 00:28:47.600
a a longer a longer leash than uh you

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:49.799
know about this uh if if we were to ever

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

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:59.720
you're a Creator out there who is using the Amazon Associates program or if

00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:03.760
you're looking into the Amazon Associates program CU honestly in spite

00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.919
of the stress that I've gone through in the last week uh I still highly

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:13.760
recommend participating in the program it is a great great program it's a great

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:17.640
way to make additional Revenue without compromising any integrity that's one of

00:29:15.919 --> 00:29:22.600
the things that I love about it is that because Amazon carries everything I can

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:26.640
recommend something on Amazon without there being any conflict yeah because

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

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

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:45.720
what I'll say carefully study the terms of the agreement carefully clicking on

00:29:43.760 --> 00:29:48.919
all of the hyperlinks within the terms of the agreement because there are

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:55.600
subterms of the agreement within the terms of the agreement review them all

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:58.120
uh some of it is kind of vaguely worded

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

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:08.480
every eventuality I get that so some of the

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

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

00:30:14.919 --> 00:30:20.600
not affiliated with Amazon in any way other than that I am a participant in

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:23.919
the Amazon Associates program that's something that they they say that you're

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

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

00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:40.360
to show your viewers or your audience applicable products on Amazon especially

00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:44.240
ones that you like or recommend and you are to provide them with a means to

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:49.120
quickly buy it by clicking on a link that you provide them so if you keep

00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:54.679
that in mind while you read through it the rules are much easier to understand

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

00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:04.120
extraord arily lucky that we have some friends of some friends who were who

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:08.039
were very generous to put their necks out and vouch for us being good people

00:31:06.399 --> 00:31:13.360
who were not maliciously abusing the program so huge shout out to uh to all

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.200
the people who quietly helped us with this thank you for that and uh look

00:31:15.679 --> 00:31:23.200
forward to seeing more Amazon links under our videos moving

00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:24.760
forward yay yay and another uh thing is

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

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:34.120
that work in that program are are like people from all walks of life all stages

00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:37.600
of life so some of them like don't

00:31:34.120 --> 00:31:40.760
necessarily I guess understand the newer

00:31:37.600 --> 00:31:42.760
relations and stuff right so like keep

00:31:40.760 --> 00:31:48.320
in mind that you have to just live within the terms as they're there and

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

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:59.000
Speaking of lesson learned I wonder what lessons will be

00:31:55.639 --> 00:32:00.519
learned from this are origal Source here

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:07.880
is from the bbc.com

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:11.720
the United Kingdom is no longer part of

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:15.000
the European Union holy actual freaking

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:16.120
crap asterisk it's going to take like at

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:21.440
least two years and the referendum is not

00:32:18.639 --> 00:32:25.600
technically legally binding although anyone in the House of Commons that goes

00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:31.360
against it is probably committing like career political suicide so it's

00:32:28.760 --> 00:32:36.840
probably pretty much almost wow like definitely going to happen unbelievable

00:32:34.760 --> 00:32:41.880
so I mean there there's a lot of incredible

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:46.919
stuff here like if you guys were like me you were probably glued to your phone

00:32:43.679 --> 00:32:49.360
last night uh just looking at all the

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:54.720
mindblowing stats around this and and all the speculation going on but here's

00:32:51.399 --> 00:32:59.840
a few key ones

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.840
71.8% of eligible voters attended

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:08.279
I have never I mean I know that it broke

00:33:04.919 --> 00:33:12.039
UK records but I mean does that does

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:16.200
that break every record it's like yeah

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:17.880
people cared holy crap and and and

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:22.080
that's with like extreme weather conditions like flooding happening yeah

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:27.840
so if like the weather was all good we probably would have been closer to like

00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:31.880
75 or 80% unbelievable unheard of and

00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:34.080
and even more crazy is just how divided

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

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:45.440
close um England was just a touch higher

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

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.080
the average 52 and a half voted leave 47

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:56.480
a half stay uh Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU

00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:01.639
which is going to have some very interesting ramifications for the

00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:08.760
Scotland uh England relationship over the next little bit uh with Scotland

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:09.839
going as far as to say uh yo um we might

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.679
have actually you know done the wrong thing

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:23.520
when we stayed in the UK a little while ago we might be uh refering referendum

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:25.399
again um this is interesting okay no uh

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

00:34:28.520 --> 00:34:35.399
Wikipedia article on the Quebec referendum which was actually another uh

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:40.280
quit I guess we could call it when when Quebec voted on whether to leave Canada

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:47.079
and become an independent country for the first time um this was on October

00:34:43.040 --> 00:34:49.480
30th 1995 and 93.5 2% of people turned

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

00:34:52.919 --> 00:35:00.760
have been closer and um like

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

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

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.200
Canadian history better so what does all

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

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:26.280
meant in in purely technological terms um cheaper airfares um easier uh easier

00:35:23.040 --> 00:35:29.640
studying and traveling and living abroad

00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:32.760
on the mainland in mainland Europe um

00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:35.200
cheaper uh cell phone cheaper cell phone

00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:40.920
service so the way that the EU has cracked down on roaming charges within

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:47.079
uh European union members has been a huge benefit to EU countries I have I

00:35:43.520 --> 00:35:50.520
have been to the EU um and traveling

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:51.560
over borders extraordinarily easy very

00:35:50.520 --> 00:35:57.680
very cool essentially what the EU does the

00:35:54.839 --> 00:36:02.400
European Union does is turn the partner countries into a single market

00:36:00.319 --> 00:36:07.640
so they're essentially eliminating borders in a lot of ways for goods

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:09.520
Services people money um especially with

00:36:07.640 --> 00:36:12.400
the Euro which was implemented what like 10 15 years ago something like that I

00:36:11.240 --> 00:36:18.000
can't remember when the Euro got implemented but it wasn't like it was

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:19.800
not it was in my adult lifetime is like

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:25.599
I remember going to Paris and there still being Franks when I graduated high

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:27.599
school uh oh whatever um so it began

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:31.400
after World War II and it was all about economic

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:36.520
cooperation um and has and has become more than that so the overall goal is to

00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:41.560
boost trade create jobs lower prices all right so why then did United Kingdom

00:36:39.839 --> 00:36:45.200
residents vote to leave so they claimed they were being held back said it would

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:49.240
imposed too many rules on businesses and charged billions of pounds per year in

00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:52.440
membership fees for a little return uh wanted Britain to take back full control

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:55.480
of its borders and reduce the number of people coming to work and live in the

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.280
country because that's one of the thing as much as many Britain have been

00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:03.560
enjoying uh you know going and working or living

00:37:00.839 --> 00:37:09.119
over the uh the English Channel there well the same is true of anyone else who

00:37:05.640 --> 00:37:11.160
wants to go and live in the UK they also

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:15.720
objected to the move towards what they saw as the creation of a United States

00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:20.680
of of Europe so to speak to the membership fees there was like a note

00:37:17.520 --> 00:37:23.480
that I read where I think in

00:37:20.680 --> 00:37:30.640
201415 you know the fiscal year 20145 um the the UK was charged

00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:33.280
something like 8.8 billion pounds in

00:37:30.640 --> 00:37:42.359
membership fees and they were able to trace back about 5.5 billion pounds uh

00:37:38.040 --> 00:37:44.480
of actual benefit for UK citizens or UK

00:37:42.359 --> 00:37:50.920
residents um so that includes stuff like University grants housing grants Etc um

00:37:47.839 --> 00:37:52.319
so there's a significant cost to them um

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:55.680
for actually being a part of the union and that cost is essentially absorbed by

00:37:54.560 --> 00:38:02.280
some of the other members of the Union that contribute a bit less

00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:04.480
so yeah I can I mean empirically I can

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:09.800
kind of understand the argument there but that's looking at that one statistic

00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:14.240
in a vacuum and ignoring you know the free trade that it allows the free

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:17.200
travel the free you knowe movement and you know what but there's a lot of

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

00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:25.119
they just want to stay in leads or wherever and and live out their life

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

00:38:27.680 --> 00:38:33.720
interesting interesting tidbits the pound has fallen to its lowest since or

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

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:45.000
1985 um fun fact um our our

00:38:42.040 --> 00:38:51.680
amazon.co.uk uh affiliate uh payouts haven't been cashed in a really long

00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:54.240
time I heard yeah so so we actually like

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

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

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

00:39:04.319 --> 00:39:10.800
insignificant so thanks for that brexit

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:16.720
um the treasury forecaster rise between 7 and 1.1% in mortgage borrowing cost so

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:22.520
like that might not seem significant but I think it works out to somewhere around

00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:24.640
1,000 pounds a year extra ouch and like

00:39:22.520 --> 00:39:31.640
possibly years added to your mortgage so like compound interest dog that's

00:39:28.359 --> 00:39:36.560
sucks like yeah where the hell did this

00:39:31.640 --> 00:39:38.960
come from emergency pun the EU now has

00:39:36.560 --> 00:39:45.839
one GB more space I did not put that there whoever

00:39:42.040 --> 00:39:48.040
did whoever did is fired so it's pretty

00:39:45.839 --> 00:39:54.040
funny though it was probably ghost so you can't technically fire him damn

00:39:51.640 --> 00:40:00.040
it all right well that's okay one GB more space I see what

00:39:58.359 --> 00:40:03.920
thank you for that all right speaking of thank you for that thank you to Tunnel

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:07.319
bear for sponsoring the W show the tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN app

00:40:05.640 --> 00:40:10.640
for mobile and desktop it lets you tunnel to 20 different countries

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:13.960
allowing you to browse the internet thank you for that Nick and use online

00:40:12.359 --> 00:40:17.560
services as though you are in a different country you just choose the

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:21.640
country in the app turn it on and boom your connection gets encrypted with the

00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:25.520
as 256bit encryption and your public IP address gets switched so you show up as

00:40:23.359 --> 00:40:30.079
though you are from somewhere else something that could end up being more

00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:35.680
relevant for Great Britain citizens than it used to be I mean think about this

00:40:33.359 --> 00:40:39.079
things like content law could now be dramatically different between Britain

00:40:37.680 --> 00:40:43.280
see this is where I'm tying it back into Tech i l a lot of people asking in the

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:47.359
twitch chat uh content law could be very different in Great Britain than it is in

00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:51.880
the rest of the EU holy crap you could have completely

that's great now it doesn't have to be me anymore that's fantastic I love it

00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:27.960
random question yes this is I was thinking this when you were doing this

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

00:46:30.359 --> 00:46:35.480
I would open a food restaurant and it's

00:46:33.839 --> 00:46:39.720
great because uh food restaurant American Dad actually has an episode

00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:44.800
where the main character Stan opens what he calls the food restaurant or his food

00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:48.720
restaurant and his food restaurant is stupid and I wouldn't open a food

00:46:46.640 --> 00:46:51.280
restaurant like that because his served like I I don't know what it's like

00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:58.960
chocolate dipped chicken wings or whatever like just just dumb stuff um so

00:46:54.359 --> 00:47:01.920
my food restaurant would be kind of like

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

00:47:04.720 --> 00:47:12.839
have like a chicken teriyaki dish and they'll have like a fish and chips and

00:47:10.200 --> 00:47:16.520
they'll have like a a butter chicken so like a variety restaurant they have a

00:47:14.359 --> 00:47:23.920
variety except the problem is that they do everything in sort of this super

00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:25.079
non-authentic uh pandering to to you

00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.800
know Midwestern you know white people

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

00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:40.119
so so my food restaurant would be kind

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.720
of like a like an allar All-Star team

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

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

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

00:47:54.160 --> 00:47:59.640
going to have a larger than normal kitchen we're going to have to kind of

00:47:57.200 --> 00:48:03.280
absorb some some operating overhead there um going to have to have a couple

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

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

00:48:10.520 --> 00:48:18.079
your you know cinjun specialist to all of a sudden be able to whip up an

00:48:14.839 --> 00:48:19.559
amazing thae dish but I would say okay

00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:25.960
let's absorb some extra operating overhead here and let's be able to put

00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:29.280
together kind of set set meals so that

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:32.280
any group people can come and dine and

00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:35.040
you know if I'm going out with you know

00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:41.319
um like a like a Taiwanese partner or something I can take them there and they

00:48:37.839 --> 00:48:43.640
can get some you know some dims or some

00:48:41.319 --> 00:48:47.599
you know Singaporean style H and chicken or whatever and I can have a burger and

00:48:46.040 --> 00:48:51.520
both of those things will legitimately be somewhat authentic and good that

00:48:49.520 --> 00:48:55.599
would be the objective of my restaurant okay what would your restaurant be I I'm

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

00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:03.720
curious that's okay I mean it's a similar Thing Luke and I actually talked

00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:08.599
about this like a while ago and essentially what we came up with was

00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:12.200
like there's very like Americanized

00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:14.119
dishes in each culture yep so like sweet

00:49:12.200 --> 00:49:20.319
and sour pork from Chinese food chicken teriyaki californ chicken California

00:49:16.640 --> 00:49:23.799
roll essentially having like Canadian

00:49:20.319 --> 00:49:25.760
food just being like the variety of

00:49:23.799 --> 00:49:29.040
other cultures of food that we all bring together and call Canadian food because

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

00:49:31.680 --> 00:49:38.079
actually there was another great restaurant idea that I had a while back

00:49:35.520 --> 00:49:43.559
um I would want it to be like an icebreaker restaurant I think I'd call

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.839
it ice breakers um and the idea around

00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:50.160
here they think it was a hockey themed restaurant a hockey themed sports bar

00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:56.240
Ice Breakers with a z like we serve only Club Seal you know

00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.880
um wow so my restaurant actually this

00:49:56.240 --> 00:50:04.040
was another really good idea I thought that I had every dish would be really

00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:07.400
awkward to eat so like a plate of

00:50:04.040 --> 00:50:09.319
spaghetti that is one long noodle right

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

00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:17.559
no one is going to be able to perfectly

00:50:15.160 --> 00:50:20.880
consume every meal without getting something dribbling down their ARM or on

00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:26.040
their chin or whatever there's like an ad uh that somebody pretty much like did

00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:30.000
that really except what it was was they were like okay were going to pair these

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

00:50:32.319 --> 00:50:38.520
found like food that both people liked and they had to feed each other the food

00:50:36.319 --> 00:50:44.240
on like a first date so it was like awkward but not essentially fun um

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

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

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

00:50:56.040 --> 00:51:04.319
480 because we do talk about pre-release Hardware rumors very frequently yeah so

00:51:02.640 --> 00:51:09.520
we're not talking about it because we know the

00:51:05.799 --> 00:51:11.559
answer we can talk about rumors when we

00:51:09.520 --> 00:51:16.119
don't know the answer but once we've signed a non-disclosure agreement that

00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:20.440
says we are going to independently evaluate the product that is not going

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

00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:27.599
anything about it until such time as the

00:51:25.640 --> 00:51:32.960
broad release of information is allowed to go out as specified by in this case

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

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

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

00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:51.160
some people wonder why embargos are in place and they're like oh this is you

00:51:49.359 --> 00:51:54.960
know it must be because companies are paying people to do a review or

00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:59.359
something like that it's so that there's Fair competition in the review Market

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

00:52:01.319 --> 00:52:08.640
know 2.7 whatever subscribers um or that weed a card first

00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:13.079
or that we don't end up with a disadvantage because we're in Canada

00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:17.760
California and our card gets you know held by Customs for 3 days or something

00:52:15.240 --> 00:52:22.359
like that so by having usually it's anywhere from about 5 on the very low

00:52:20.200 --> 00:52:26.880
end which is very frustrating uh anywhere from about 5 to about 12 days

00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:31.559
usually that's how long you have with a product so that allows enough time for

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

00:52:34.040 --> 00:52:40.400
some chicken soup or whatever um for something to go wrong and for you to

00:52:37.799 --> 00:52:44.720
still get your your coverage out at the same time as everyone else apparently I

00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:49.920
said 2.7 subscribers thank you twitch chat 2.7 million subscribers I think you

00:52:47.160 --> 00:52:53.520
said 2.7 whatever subscribers so you you you didn't remember it was Millions but

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

00:52:55.240 --> 00:53:01.559
then SP speaking of good job cable

00:52:58.640 --> 00:53:05.280
company overcharges might be even worse than you realize the original article

00:53:03.240 --> 00:53:10.559
here is from RS Technica man I love those guys look at that flying sheet of

00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:14.440
money and the other flying sheet of money and the other flying sheets of

00:53:12.680 --> 00:53:18.799
money but this image is not about Freedom this image is about getting

00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:22.520
fleeced by your cable provider especially if you're an American not

00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:27.400
that I believe for a second that it's any better anywhere else so a senate

00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:32.720
report Compares billing and and service records and finds massive overcharges

00:53:30.520 --> 00:53:37.400
who the cable companies oh my goodness who would have thought not Charter and

00:53:34.680 --> 00:53:42.480
its new subsidiary Time Warner Cable have apparently been overcharging

00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:44.520
customers at least 7.2 million per year

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:49.200
for equipment and service the investigation is found so Time Warner

00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:52.000
Cable overbuild customers Nationwide and estimated

00:53:52.720 --> 00:53:59.040
$639,950 how did they get an estimate that goes right down to the single

00:53:55.880 --> 00:54:03.240
dollar anyway between January and April

00:53:59.040 --> 00:54:05.319
of this year uh and these problems are

00:54:03.240 --> 00:54:10.160
bad because neither company had been issuing automatic refunds or credits to

00:54:08.720 --> 00:54:15.000
overcharged customers so during the six and a halfe

00:54:13.200 --> 00:54:19.520
time period examined by the committee TWC and Charter made no effort to trace

00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:25.200
equipment overages to their origin unless customers specifically asked them

00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:28.160
to and did not provide notice or refunds

00:54:25.200 --> 00:54:31.559
to customers Comcast has in the past overcharged customers but they do a much

00:54:29.839 --> 00:54:36.040
better job at issuing refunds apparently than Time Warner cable Comcast told the

00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:41.880
subcommittee that it only had a billing error rate of.

00:54:37.839 --> 00:54:43.240
3% Comcast told them so it must be true

00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:47.040
Time Warner Cable will begin investigating the overcharges only if

00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:51.280
customers bring it to their attention so if you're a Time Warner Cable customer

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

00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:59.760
of ring that goes yo dog SU

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

00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:07.559
two hours to get through to them well yeah there's that yeah you end up

00:55:05.240 --> 00:55:11.799
suffering more than the $4 that you probably individually got overcharged

00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:16.119
anyway going forward both companies will apparently provide customers with a

00:55:13.520 --> 00:55:23.160
notice if they are overcharged that's good I wish we could

00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:26.480
overcharge by like 7 million and just

00:55:23.160 --> 00:55:28.559
chill with it yeah I also like I'd be

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

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

00:55:34.680 --> 00:55:42.319
that blew my mind with the uh Charter and Time Warner Cable merger or whatever

00:55:39.160 --> 00:55:43.799
MH um where the Time Warner Cable CEO

00:55:42.319 --> 00:55:47.559
apparently had it written into his contract that he got some obscene amount

00:55:45.680 --> 00:55:53.400
of money should ownership of the company change three months later he was already

00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:58.160
putting pen to paper for a change of ownership of the

00:55:55.240 --> 00:56:03.240
company he was totally interested in bettering

00:55:59.839 --> 00:56:05.280
the company yeah no conflict of interest

00:56:03.240 --> 00:56:11.799
there whatsoever whatsoever you know it's funny how many inherent conflicts

00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.839
of interest exist in the world um I mean

00:56:11.799 --> 00:56:19.799
and and this is all like sanctioned stuff like you recently oh are we able

00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:21.559
to talk about that sorry your big thing

00:56:19.799 --> 00:56:26.039
that happened recently that's been very exciting for you and kind of crazy oh uh

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

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

00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:43.720
terminology okay um I'm moving I'm not

00:56:41.400 --> 00:56:48.680
changing my sexuality or something like that which is what it sounded like you

00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:52.839
were saying I'm moving that's the the

00:56:48.680 --> 00:56:54.200
big news so when you deal with a realtor

00:56:52.839 --> 00:56:59.160
okay whether you're buying whether you're leasing whatever the case may be

00:56:56.240 --> 00:57:05.400
when you deal with a realtor ultimately there exists as far as I can

00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:07.240
tell an inherent conflict of interest

00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:11.440
and to be clear I have met some very good Realtors very good people but there

00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:19.839
is an inherent conflict of interest because the seller or the leaser not the

00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:21.680
leasy or um sell e whatever I don't care

00:57:19.839 --> 00:57:28.599
you guys get the point so the seller or whoever's leasing the property pays the

00:57:24.319 --> 00:57:32.039
realtor fees they they pay that sort of

00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:33.920
on top of the or or out of the amount

00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:41.400
not on top of sorry out of the negotiated rate that the buyer ends up

00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:44.200
agreeing to pay so the way it works is

00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:47.559
that let's say hypothetically a house is uh

00:57:45.520 --> 00:57:52.079
$440,000 for example let's say hypothetically so what would happen is a

00:57:49.799 --> 00:57:57.160
typical real estate agent uh commission is I think somewhere in the one

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

00:57:59.680 --> 00:58:05.760
remember exact I it depends on market conditions like in Vancouver right now I

00:58:03.640 --> 00:58:10.799
think it's somewhere in the 1 to four whereas you know if housing prices were

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

00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:22.160
so basically what happens is the seller is responsible for paying that to their

00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:23.680
realtor that they have entered a a

00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:29.200
covenant with or whatever the case may be to represent them so that Realtor

00:58:26.920 --> 00:58:32.599
ultimately like there's this code of ethics or whatever which is great for

00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:35.880
people who actually abide by those types of codes but I've certainly met those

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

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

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

00:58:47.839 --> 00:58:55.720
so okay if they're representing the seller then that's great but there's a

00:58:53.359 --> 00:59:01.760
realtor potentially and often in in many cases for the buyer as well who also

00:58:58.680 --> 00:59:03.960
gets paid by the seller who also gets

00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:11.280
paid a proportion of the amount that the property sells for and who the selling

00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:13.400
realtor has to split the commission with

00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:17.839
if there's a buying realtor present so this creates all kinds of conflicts like

00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:21.760
choosing a buyer which you're not supposed to do based on them being

00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:26.160
self-represented in which case the the Sellers realtor takes the entire

00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:30.240
commission versus another buyer who has a realtor who is sticking up for their

00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:34.680
best interest there's dual agency which is like the the most broken thing ever

00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:39.200
where one realtor represents both par becoming super illegal in like most of

00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:44.319
Canada because it's incredibly messed up not here yet that's for sure um where

00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:48.480
basically there's these negotiating there's these negotiators on both side

00:59:46.640 --> 00:59:52.640
both of whom it is in their best interest to flip through properties as

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

00:59:55.160 --> 01:00:01.440
especially that this is somehow in my best

00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:06.319
interest good luck fortunately my realtor is actually the dad of someone

01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:10.839
that my wife went to high school with and like their families know each other

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

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

01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:27.680
fantastic article over here on polygon Counter Strike player files suit against

01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:29.680
valve over illegal gambling surrounding

01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:36.799
CS go very interesting I mean it was a

01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:38.520
matter of time yeah before skins and

01:00:36.799 --> 01:00:42.720
match I mean you've already got match fixing so you're as close to real

01:00:40.640 --> 01:00:47.200
gambling as you can be before being declared real gambling that only adults

01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:51.200
can participate in you know age of majority and all that stuff that goes

01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:54.720
along with normal gambling sites and gambling participation and gambling

01:00:52.920 --> 01:01:00.440
establishments there was also something that happened recently

01:00:56.799 --> 01:01:03.160
um I'm trying to find

01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:07.799
it something along the lines of one of the betting sites had a deal with a

01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:12.400
streamer where they would tell him like when he was going to win so that he

01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:18.480
would bet higher on those and then like freak out when he won um essentially

01:01:16.240 --> 01:01:24.359
just the scummiest thing I've ever heard of so creating more glamour around the

01:01:21.200 --> 01:01:26.599
practice of of betting um so Connecticut

01:01:24.359 --> 01:01:30.520
resident Michael John McLoud has filed a suit currently seeking class action

01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:35.240
status and I don't actually see that being a difficult thing to achieve here

01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:39.640
against valve and three skin gambling and selling sites and the complaint

01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:43.680
alleges that valve knowingly allowed and has been complicit in creating

01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:48.119
sustaining and facilitating a market where players and third party tra third

01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:52.279
uh and excuse me where players and third parties trade weapon skins it continues

01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:56.200
that they knowingly allowed supported Andor sponsored illegal gambling by

01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:59.559
allowing millions of Americans to link their individual steam accounts to third

01:01:58.520 --> 01:02:03.000
party websites that's that's interesting

01:02:01.640 --> 01:02:07.680
because I mean you know there's plenty of legitimate uses for valves login

01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:10.880
credentials being valid on a thirdparty website like oh say for example I don't

01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:14.839
know Linus Tech tips Forum where you can use your steam credentials and all the

01:02:13.240 --> 01:02:18.319
encryption and account management is done over on valve side we never even

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

01:02:20.839 --> 01:02:26.240
two-factor authentication all that good stuff um so there's plenty of legit uses

01:02:24.200 --> 01:02:30.640
for that but I can see where kind of coming from here uh in the Esports

01:02:28.680 --> 01:02:35.760
gambling economy this is further further allegations Skins are like casino chips

01:02:33.359 --> 01:02:40.359
that have monetary value outside the game itself because of the ability to

01:02:37.720 --> 01:02:44.480
convert them directly into cash it also alleges that some third party CSCO

01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:49.960
websites don't require age verification which allows miners to bet as

01:02:47.079 --> 01:02:57.160
well Bloomberg has reported that CSCO skin gambling is currently a$2 billion

01:02:53.240 --> 01:03:00.440
industry so in some valve owns the

01:02:57.160 --> 01:03:02.680
league sells the casino chips and

01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:06.000
receives a piece of the casino's income stream through foreign websites in order

01:03:04.520 --> 01:03:12.960
to maintain the charade that valve is not promoting and profiting from online gambling

01:03:08.520 --> 01:03:15.160
wow uh oh I mean I'm not a legal

01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:19.520
expert we should get like that should be added to our lower third actually just

01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:24.279
permanently not a lawyer next to next to my Twitter handle it should just say not

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

01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:36.599
from just a sort of like a rational reasonable person who's been observing

01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:43.960
kind of this weird environment over the last few years that sounds not quite

01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:45.720
bulletproof but pretty

01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:51.480
compelling yeah it's not great everyone everyone

01:03:49.359 --> 01:03:58.440
twitch shats like sell your skins sell your skins now get out I

01:03:56.520 --> 01:04:05.359
honestly since it's the Tulip bubble of the 1800s or whatever since this whole

01:04:01.799 --> 01:04:08.319
thing began I mean I was always kind of

01:04:05.359 --> 01:04:13.279
questioning it because it's like huh don't you normally have to get like

01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:15.440
licenses to gamble and stuff yeah it's

01:04:13.279 --> 01:04:19.760
like pretty tightly regulated in Canada you have to spend a certain amount of

01:04:16.799 --> 01:04:26.480
your income on anti-gambling advertisement like this is a really

01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:28.760
tightly regulated industry B deal like a

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

01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:34.599
because I think people don't really understand like the people who would

01:04:33.279 --> 01:04:40.119
come after them don't really understand what's happening so this might shed a

01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:42.720
bit more light on that um because yeah

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

01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:52.920
accessible cuz it's literally using something that you get as a drop

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

01:04:55.480 --> 01:05:02.359
into into it mhm and whether valve agrees or not that they are quote

01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:07.000
unquote facilitating it I mean I think there's an argument to be made there

01:05:03.799 --> 01:05:09.480
again not a lawyer don't understand law

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

01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:18.000
valve in this situation so we'll be interesting to see what

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

01:05:20.359 --> 01:05:26.640
law very well I'm just making sure you're at least aware of

01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:32.359
that I'm just I'm going to have all sorts of stuff on my Twitter

01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:34.880
about yeah I'm just I'm not oh yeah you

01:05:32.359 --> 01:05:37.599
can you can find him at Nick LMG or something like that is that is that

01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:43.520
right or is there an underscore in there no that sounds Nick LMG all right so

01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:47.920
Microsoft will use steam to sell Windows games not just its own store wow a move

01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:53.319
for Microsoft that actually looks like they actually care very nice original

01:05:50.319 --> 01:05:56.240
article here is from RS Technica um and

01:05:53.319 --> 01:05:59.960
a couple of their latest um blah blah blah blah blah blah a couple of their

01:05:57.520 --> 01:06:05.079
latest games so Forza 6 Apex and Killer Instinct have done well on the store but

01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:07.079
Quantum break did not so maybe they're

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

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

01:06:13.839 --> 01:06:19.599
Microsoft will ship games on Steam again and noted that while some game releases

01:06:17.319 --> 01:06:24.799
have done well in Windows store um Quantum break wasn't our best PC release

01:06:22.240 --> 01:06:30.640
and Gears of War Ultimate Edition was okay

01:06:26.200 --> 01:06:33.880
awesome I'm excited because I almost

01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:36.720
play nothing that isn't on Steam it is

01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:42.559
so convenient it's like it's prohibitive to not have your game on Steam

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

01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:51.599
blizzard Battle.net or whatever but still you can still

01:06:50.359 --> 01:06:56.160
technically launch those games through Steam you just have to yeah actually set

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

01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:06.240
made an iPhone case with built-in storage up to 128 gigs of extra storage

01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:11.440
all it does is bulk up the phone surprisingly little actually not that

01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:16.480
badly and instead of investing in additional $300 or whatever it is to get

01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:20.319
an iPhone with that amount of storage you can just have a bumper case on it

01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:23.359
that has a little bit more bulk at the bottom by the lightning connector so

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

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

01:07:31.240 --> 01:07:37.240
but uh it requ requires a companion app

01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:40.559
um it can only store certain things it backs up your camera roll uh does

01:07:39.200 --> 01:07:44.119
password protect your photos and any files that have that that are on there

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

01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:52.480
yeah 1,00 milliamp battery pack I mean that will turn your iPhone 6s into like

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

01:07:55.720 --> 01:08:01.480
and 128 is 130 see this by the way apple

01:07:59.640 --> 01:08:06.760
is how pricing for additional flash storage should

01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:13.119
work yeah g yeah it's kind of messed up um

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

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

01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:27.159
other things that I thought were pretty pretty interesting where did they go uh

01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:31.600

people are posting videos about it like they have forever and nothing's going to

happen like forever unless there's been

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:18.960
