let see if that all right welcome to the WAN Show where we deploy new ways of
streaming without actually going ahead
and um testing the aforementioned new ways of streaming and we are back so um
since I have a badminton class tonight and I am not going to have time to um do
a thing where I stitch together the footage we're going to start over so
this is John hi John went to Duke we
have a lot of great topics for you today uh what were they right Disney Disney of
all companies nails free roaming Wireless power delivery I mean Disney I
can see a few ways they would actually use it to make Star Wars well other than
that with Star Wars
technology actual lightsabers the switch
will not have a virtual console at launch which I guess actually makes a
fair bit of sense um Microsoft is
testing underwater data centers and we've going to have all the we're going
to do a summary of AMD ryzen for those three of you who haven't already heard
about it and finally we are going to
reveal a rumor that we can neither confirm nor deny because it's just a
rumor the source of the rumor we will explain later but apparently allegedly a
GTX 1080 TI graphics card is set to
launch next week week more at
11 and let's roll the
intro everyone's like shoe on head or
pre-recorded jokes on you I don't wear shoes I wear
sandals and I'm wearing slippers yeah should we should do it we should totally
it okay this video brought to you by Evan
and also
so there you have it our proof is entirely unsuitable neither of these are
shoes and therefore this video is pre-recorded
H take that twitch chat all right everyone's like where's
Luke um so actually you know what that would be a great first topic for us to
jump into because there is a thing that
is not in the dock so um comments to
jamesg gravity for managing to miss the
biggest news of the week the very first
thing we're going to talk about in our dock here and that is the um what are
they calling it Cloud bleed yes kind of
like but Cloud yeah so here we go the
original article here actually if you don't mind pulling it up I'm having a
bit of an issue with my uh with my
laptops oh hold on that might solve it
yep let's see if that works
um fnf4 very important okay there we go oh wait do
you have Cloud bleed up um I don't know I don't think I do I'm trying to what
you got this you got this just Cloud bleed look at my incredible Bing skills
wow why are you using Bing because I open why why why do you why do you hate
finding things John I'm kind of a masochist
anyway okay so cloud lead is a big
problem it's like actually disastrous
and uh pretty much in a nutshell I got
it I got it I got it you got this I got it okay I don't have my notes on it so
I'm going to sound like an idiot for a second until I pull up our internal
things so pretty much what's happening is if you've logged into any Cloud flare
protected site and there's lots of those for those of you who aren't familiar
with Cloud flare basically it's like a Dos mitigation mechanism
that uh websites businesses online services can use to make it more
difficult for folks TOS them so if you
logged into any cloudflare protected
site or submitted any other sensitive information between and this is like a
fairly significant date range the 22nd
of September 2016 and the 18th of
February 2017 there is a chance it's a very small
chance but there is a chance that your password or that sensitive data may have
been leaked the bug was most severe
between the 13th and 18th of February of this year but even so the chance of your
data have been leaked is very low with that said security security security
preventative security is better than reactionary security and what you guys
need to do is go check out some of the
resources that exist right now about this and uh change and update the
passwords for the sites and services that you use that have been affected
immediately like e immediately that's
like the internet but faster almost almost almost apparently
this was this was reportedly caused by
one incorrect character in I don't know how many how many lines of code and what
essentially happened was my my understanding is that it was a server
memory dump so lore knows what was in
the memory of all these websites at any given time so this is why you should
probably be going and changing your passwords if you have used any of these
these affected services so even during the greatest period of impact uh so
February 13th to 18th around 1 in every
3.3 million HTTP requests through Cloud
Fair flare potentially would have resulted in memory leakage so that's
about
0.003% of requests but with that in mind even that
tiny percentage is potentially a huge
problem and the reason for that is that even
0.003% of the leaks from a mere 770
sites is 2.5 billion
requests internet's a big place yeah internet's like internet's like huge
it's like they have more tubes the most tubes the bigest tubes the bigest tubes
so many tubes like you can't even you can't even keep track of all the tubes
it has um so guys go check it
out um let me just see yeah there's a blog post over on cloud flare I'm going
to post that in the Forum or in the in the Forum I'm going to post that in the twitch chat so you guys can go check
that out make sure that you're not uh
not getting all your you know stuff ruined by having a bad day because
people stole your information and whatnot all
right moving on shots fired Google's wh
Mo Suz Uber so the original article here
is from RS Technica and you will have to pull it up if you don't mind oh yeah
there it is look at that way to go Luke streen Luke screen share um alleging
that they stole trade secrets so Google
names Anthony levendowski once one of
its top engineers as the chief suspect in this case now
this is something that I've personally never really understood that well
because while it's obvious that if you
were to take like physical documents off
of let's say you know a fellow a co-worker's desk and put them under your
armpit or up your butt crack or wherever
it is you decide to keep them and you waddle yourself over to another job
interview and kind of go just like that yeah if you like my face you should see
what happens when I turn around and pull my pants down um you know like obviously
that would be considered uh corporate Espionage and in
this case what they're alleging is that he installed specialized software on his
corporate laptop loading it with
14,000 confidential Files about liar
technology and that while he was at Google he was secretly plotting this
whole whole thing his next startup Auto
so then he left Google in January receiving a multi-million dollar
Severance by the way so it was like here's some Millions buckets of here's
some buckets of money see you later nice guy that we like then sold that startup
in August so it's like eight months later for 680 million to
Uber then a month later Uber unveils its
plans to bring self-driving cars to Pittsburgh so this looks pretty open and
shut but uh
explain to me what the difference is between putting corporate documents on a
USB key up your butthole and you know
learning and um developing as a person
and as a professional and taking your your job skills with you and the
knowledge you gained to a new employer okay so full disclosure on this I had
maybe three weeks of trade secret law in
law school but here's what I can tell you so there's possibly two issues was
the best three weeks of your life though it wasn't the worst three weeks of my
life so there's that I had a I had a I
had a I had a good had a good professor from the University of Kansas actually I
saw we had a Jayhawks fan somewhere in the Twitter so or not Twitter but twitch chat but so there you go anyway so
couple ways to look at this so the guy we he was an ex Google employee yeah so
one thing you can do obviously is when you hire someone you can stick a
confidentiality agreement front of them and you make them sign it as a condition of employment and you can put in that
confidentiality agreement you can't do things like take sensitive dots put them
on USB drives and Jam them up up your butthole you can put that in the contract so so obviously you it's
probably okay to jam it up his butthole as long as he doesn't then give it to anyone else probably okay yeah I would I
would assume that their lawyers would be good enough to flush that particular detail out but anyhow so and you know
obviously this guy was obviously working on something very very important and
Google is a major company with plenty of money to hire a good legal counsel so he
probably did did this but even if that never happened and they hired him off
the street which I'm sure was not the case but let's say they did this and there there was no confidentiality
agreement they said they just told him oh you're hired you start on Monday even
so um trade secret law my understanding is it could still in because it has to
be if it's information that isn't publicly available and there's some sort
of like possible real economic benefit
or business benefit to that company and they actually made efforts to protect it
like Google wasn't being all Loosey Goosey with this information but they
were actually trying to protect it okay so it's not like how to get to the
bathroom on the second floor right it's got to be something that's not publicly
known and might have some sort of real economic value so as long as Google made
reasonable efforts to protect that then even if he had no agreement saying you
can't sell this stuff to competitors then they could still go after him in
court okay so if that's so okay just and
I'm just curious and again I'm probably digging in a little bit deeper than your three weeks might have covered TR for
your correspondence law degree or whatever it is no I'm just kidding never
well well I I didn't end up working here so it's feels like sometimes
but okay but let me dig a little bit deeper what if he didn't sell it now in
this case you can make a pretty uh
pretty easy case for that he sold it
because he went and started a company that clearly had this information and
sold the company but what if you just gave it is that is that a different type
of offense um I don't know if it as far
as like type I'm not even sure how they characterize that but at the same time
I'm almost completely certain you still can't do that like obviously I think
this there's some trade seeker and some like patent stuff going on here I'm not
sure if they had a patent on any of this stuff or not but but if they let's say
say there was a patent there um a patent actually excludes other people even from
making your invention for a set period of time so but some things are
notoriously difficult to P they are but the other part of that was um so this
stuff looks more like trade secret than patent right because because a patent
are publicly available like you can go and you can look at them but you just can't make it or sell it so so um so to
answer your question I don't think the fact that
he if he didn't sell it if he didn't sell this stuff I don't think that would
just completely get him off the hook right and in this case uh I think it was
n fishing in twitch chat pointed out that we're talking hypotheticals here
Google is a smart and together enough company that I pretty much guarantee you
every person who sets foot through that door has signed a piece of paper that
says something about how you don't steal their stuff um you know let alone high
ranking Engineers so we we get that but and fish also pointed out that usually
um some kind of uh why the word has
escaped me it has been actually a very long week folks um the severance package
that would usually be accompanied by some kind of agreement as well like
here's some buckets of money um and you can't do these things for for x amount
of time after you leave that would be fairly typical so we're pretty sure
Google has their butts covered here and this is going to end up being a pretty
uh uncomfortable situation but the other
sort of possible outcome of this is that he's
got so many hundreds of millions of dollars that it could end up dragged out
in court for a very very long time um
nothing like ly litigation so this is this is a quote from the suit that
apparently he took this is a quote extraordinary efforts to raid wh's
design server and then conceal his
activities and they are alleging that his web searches downloads and access to
an external drive left digital footprints that they plan to use to
bring the suit against him and you can also certainly use that stuff to say oh
this dude knew what he was doing was wrong that does not look good in court
so all right so the original article
here is from forums. overclockersuk and I'm going to get John
to bring it up okay um do you have the dock open I can't get to it on this
laptop you can't get to the dock you can't get to the duck no it's fine just
give me one second we're going to we're going to we're going to do this guys it's going to be okay we're going to do
this the oldfashioned way but we're going to do this the iPhone one way no
copy paste you just if you want do it just do it hold on if you want to get
something you read it do we have it do we have it do we have it I think that's
it hey we got it okay okay so first things first I want to give you guys the
AMD Ryzen summary have a little bit of discussion here and then we're going to
talk about already prior to launch and I don't have
mine yet the pictures that I took were of one at the event I didn't bring that
with me um but uh we're going to talk about
rumors already surfacing that there might be some
issues Don okay so step one of this is ryzen's
coming okay I actually don't know if the
uh yes okay so it's for pre-order now and the ship date is March 2nd okay so
ryzen's coming that's super exciting we're all super amped up on that there
are three SKS that they're announcing right now all in the ryzen 7 lineup have
you looked into this much a little bit okay so there's the topof thee line
1800x that one is clocked at I think it's 3.6 to 4 GHz and it's an 8 core 16
thread processor there's the 1700x which is 3.4 to
3.8 if I recall correctly and then there's the SE did I say x that time you
did okay then there's the 1700 non-x um
that tops out at like 3.7 I believe yeah so that one's like 3 to 3.7 yeah they're
priced anywhere from $4.99 down to 3.99
down to 329 so what's really cool about this is
that AMD has taken eight threads or eight eight cores 16 threads and gone
you know what this is worth 500 bucks tops and
you can have this for as little as Intel was spend as was asking for a
7700k which is four cores 16 threads and
on board Graphics um well and we can we can
discuss that a little bit later as well actually and uh yeah I mean it's got
support for ddr4 24 PC I Lanes which is
smack in the middle of Intel's high-end platform and am and Intel's lowend
platform their mainstream platform um
and performance looks really really
impressive now to be clear there are some things that apparently I misspoke
on something obviously when I was talking about the Intel chip I meant four cores eight threads okay chill I I
I misspoke on something else recently and people are like get their pitchforks
out already yeah right anyway so
you are actually making some trade-offs let's say that ryzen's performance per
clock per core was identical to Intel
Broadwell or Sky lake or kbl lake or whatever the case may be I I haven't
personally tested it so I can't break an embargo for information I don't have
let's say for example it was it was identical you are still making some
tradeoffs Intel does have exclusive Technologies they have Thunderbolt 3
they have the upcoming opan which I don't know really a whole lot about John
has done a fair bit of research actually you have done a fair bit of research do you want to talk about what's opan in a
nutshell tldr uh extremely fast ssds
like quite a bit faster than uh PCI Express m.2 okay yeah cool should we
should we talk more about that no that's fine so so Intel does have exclusive
Technologies they do potentially have
optimizations and functional units available in their CPUs that AMD might
not have so so a perfect example of that would be the onboard GPU so that GPU can
do things like one of the demos that AMD
has been running to show how more cores
can benefit real users today has been
gaming playing Dota 2 while streaming
and they've demonstrated that a 7700k gets
absolutely butt wrecked by that scenario
dropping something like 20% of the frames while the game streams yeah like
pretty significant like 15 to 20% however what AMD conveniently
doesn't demonstrate is that you could
stream using Intel quicksync video MH in
which case you would be offloading that encoding task to the onboard GPU now the
argument AMD makes is that at the kinds of bit rates that you're able to use
when you're streaming to Twitch so typically around 3,500 kilobit per
second you are it is very important to
have the cleanest possible Source because any blocking or artifacting that
exists in the original Source at that kind of a bit rate at 1080p60 or like
900 p60 which is again fairly typical for twitch is exacerbated it is made
much worse by the low bit
rate stream over twitch's service so
they make the argument that more cores in this case more important than having
that fixed function video encoder so
there you go basically the the fight that's coming is pretty interesting AMD
is saying you know what forget about it with some of this other stuff that we're
we're going high performance CPU I mean
that was right on the it was right on Dr Sue's deck and Intel has taken a
completely different strategy over the last few years increasing their per core
performance and their core counts on the mainstream basically not at all in
several generations and adding more and more GPU performance in that
igpu I forget where I was going with this a little different than how it used
to be almost almost opposite because you had amds with the a with Andy with the
apus and then you had Intel who was running circles around them in terms of
things like IPC and now now it's seemingly flipping a little bit with
what they're focusing on yeah now it looks very interesting where Intel is all of a sudden the Apu company um with
that said um I mean when we when we showed ryen
off back at CES just I have to be really careful while I'm talking to not say
things that are embargoed so I'm trying to remember when I learned things and
whether they're embargoed or not so you'll remember this from CES apus are
also coming to the am4 platform in fact most am4 boards have video outputs on
the back even though none of the RIS 7 CPUs have any onboard Graphics so those
will just be dead ports in that case well will they be your is are they
integrating any kind of um you know back in the day they they would Som have have
little igpus that set directly on the motor board I'm guessing they're not doing this anymore they're not doing
that it's either on the CPU or Apu as it
were or it is not in the computer so
that's kind of the summary AMD and the demos look really impressive there were
more demos than what I showed in my video and if you watch some other people's coverage they might have
focused on different demos but I was incredibly impressed with the amount of
progress that AMD has made over the last
4 years that Zen core has been in
development now with that said oh you
know what okay no no no no a little bit I want to straw pull this I want to
straw pull this I want to get your take on this okay
um but and I'm going to straw pull it before I ask you because someone has
pointed out to me in the past that it is like a huge problem to issue a straw
poll to the audience and then say oh here's what we think and then so excuse
the poll and say what we think first yeah okay so AMD ryzen um does this Mark
a return to competition yes no how are we how are we
defining competition like a certain percentage of the market or a certain I
don't think we are I don't think we're going to try to Define it in black and
white necessarily I just want to know in the minds of the viewers
do you feel like we're getting back to a
time when there is competition in the CPU market and where you don't feel like
Intel is just doing whatever they want as long as they want or as short as they
want and we all just kind of have to suck it up
princess so while the results roll in
why don't you go ahead and share your thoughts so what do we know about uh
about performance levels like single threaded performance because I've heard
rumors and you have probably learned new information since I've heard this I'm
not sure how much you can say but I've heard oh so it's going to be similar to
what Intel had with Broadwell and Broadwell is a couple Generations old
now by this point but at the same time if you look at how most users and even a
lot of enthusiasts are using their their rigs they they'd be hard pressed to tell
the difference between Broadwell and K Lake in the day-to-day okay so you so
maybe assume okay AMD is not going to take a huge hit because users want more
raw single threader performance assume that doesn't happen yeah so I looked the
other night on Amazon and ryzen's
already like number one selling CPU now granted not everyone's going out and
buying CPU in the Box vast majority of people they're buying pre-builts or buying laptops whatever yeah but
nevertheless it did make it up to like the top of the bestselling charts okay
so um and you're looking at okay so
we're it's 2017 now and we have more and more things that can take advantage of
multiple cores not everything obviously but but it's a better situation than it
was it's a much better situation four or five years ago when Intel said look six
cores and more that's Enthusiast exactly so we're getting to the point now where
you know those sorts of things that can leverage that stuff is becoming better
optimized it's become a little bit more mainstream and you have you have a chip
here that is eight cores and reportedly 16 threads we kind of had a discussion
about this earlier eight cor 16 threads and this is we're not talking bulldozer
here where AMD was like yes we have eight cores but actually they have four
compute modules which share some resources these are eight cores they
showed die shots there we go yeah these are eight cores okay so we have eight
actual independent cores that aren't sharing resources as lions just and and
you have this you can get a 3.7 GHz chip
with this architecture and yes you miss out on some of like you know the Intel
platform exclusive features but if we're just talking about performance here 330
bucks us as opposed to the equivalent ship was like what about $1,000 from
Intel so depending how you measure it and that's something that we have to be
really careful as the press and users have to be really careful about as well
we need to make sure that we understand that there are going to be situations
where 7700k is going to kick a ryzen 1700's
butt and there are also also platform features that you would be getting with
Intel I mean is what's the is 40 to 24
as far as the PCI expressing are my numbers right there on the 7700k
it's 20 to oh no I'm not talking about I'm talking about like uh because the
7700k is not 8 core I'm talking about Intel's um Skylake or not Skylake but a
Broadwell e broad e so in that case again so we have to be really careful
when we compare to the 7700 K which has a much higher clock speed and will
therefore deliver better performance in some applications that are really clock
speed or like individual core performance like some games so we got to
be careful about that comparison we can't say the 1700 is hands down better
even if it absolutely spanks it in
content creation benchmarks for example and then we have to be really careful
again saying okay the 1800x is equivalent to a
6900k because like John was saying if you have um if if heavy expansion is a
priority for your system then they're not going to be equivalent then they're not equivalent because 24 PCI Lanes is
not 40 PCIe Lanes 4 is clearly a lower number than 40 yes so AMD made a bet
here they they they they put down their bet and they kind of went we think that
there's a mid that instead of taking Intel on headon in the high-end desktop
so that's the architecture e so HT is
the the 40 core platform LGA 2011 and
rather than taking Intel on head on on
their mainstream platform we're going to go we think
consumers Enthusiast consumers and consumers in general want something kind
of in between because it would have been more expensive to have more PCI links it
would have been more expensive to have triple or quad Channel memory AMD went
dual Channel memory MH but they did spend a little more than
Intel because they went they threw more cores at the problem so there's there's a more complex interconnect at play
obviously here so that was the bet that AMD made and there are I mean you know
this is not a sales pitch for running out and buying a kbl leg processor to be
very clear but there are other exclusive things on Intel as well uh for example
Netflix at 4K MH yeah have to have kbl like or new whenever their new chips
come out so but I mean that's something that doesn't favor Intel necessarily
even that much anyway because uh the the
high-end desktop like the, $1,700 processor they don't have that anyway no
way so okay let's bring up the results of
the straw pull here actually oh you have to bring it up whopping Lee it's okay so
here's what we're going to do I have to actually type in the straw pole address
here so bear with me for just a moment while Line's cackles at me I don't know
what's wrong with my HTMI out I'm sorry
I'm sorry everybody and I don't know why John
doesn't get signed into his thing at some point here while we're talking I'm
just trying to be expeditious I don't know okay there we go cool 91% say yes
that's good I mean okay to be clear this is not the stock market and you know
consumer sentiment does not dictate how
things are going necessarily to to to that kind of a degree I mean but this
kind of confidence is great to see and really encouraging which brings us then
finally back to that article that we were going to bring up before rumors are
apparently already surfacing and this is I'm not trying to pick on AMD here this
always happens whether it's an ARA or whether it's like you know some you know
oh H oh perfect example like what kind of thermal interface material is getting
used between the dye and the integrated heat spreader there's always some
Scandal every CPU launch green or red team there's a scandal but it looks like
ryzen ddr4 memory might not be operating
at the kinds of speeds that folks might have expected
Ed so long story short apparently ryzen
is having some issues running four sticks of RAM especially while running
high speeds of RAM so it's recommended to only run RAM sticks at Max of around
2 2400 mahz if running with four sticks
however it is possible to run two sticks with a max speed of 3200 mehz Mega
megaherz meah hortz apparently this is
all according to one Forum post though and since we don't have a chip yet we
have absolutely no comments to make on this subject whatsoever other than to
say yeah that doesn't really surprise me it may or may not be true if you're
having problems with your brand new ryzen rig TR down might want to try
turning down your memory speeds just in case so there we go just see if that
helps you out a little bit there all
right we've got uh Disney's thing what's
coming up next oh yeah let's do Disney thing we were going to talk about that
and then we ran to some sight problem so
all right so the original this was posted on the Forum by uh let's just go
find out I don't know I've got it here I
still don't know uh by hey yo cool and
the original article here is from Mashable let's go ahead and oh I
actually have it up from ours but oh RS okay that's fine it's basically the same
thing I I love ours too Disney research
has achieved room scale which is pretty
freaking let me let me uh just stay still there we go it looks like that
room scale ubiquitous Wireless power
delivery now to be very clear wireless power delivery has been a thing for a
long time but unless you know we go back
to secrets that apparently died with Nicola Tesla
um it's had some limitations so some of
the ways that they can do wireless power are with magnets and that's where the
induction charging that probably exist on your smartphone if you aren't an
Apple user um that's where that comes from okay or if you are an Apple user it
might exist on your watch okay so some of it involves
magnets uh so changing magnetic field causes a something it causes a current
to flow thank you okay other options
involve microwaves um so with like a
beam you can actually use microwaves to
send power remotely however that is um
while possible and actually like Works
um super hazardous and like that's a big
problem have you seen the videos um there was there there was a channel I
forget the guy's name but there's a Channel of a guy from the Ukraine I think and he took like the magnatron out
of a microwave and he stuck a he stuck
like a tin can on top of it and pointed it at a boom box and the boom box
exploded wow yeah so some pretty serious
stuff here no no that wasn't what I was surprised by I was surprised by you calling it the Ukraine you're usually
the king of geography it's Ukraine yeah
they took out the the a long time ago I beat John at something just because I
use a slightly Antiquated term for a country that's not even really incorrect
I got to take the victories I can get okay okay very good all right so the
concept here this is really cool this is like next level stuff you walk into the
room with a smartphone in your pocket and it starts charging boom so
researchers actually built a freestanding living room with aluminum
panels covering the walls floor and ceiling in the center of the room a 2-in
copper pipe runs vertically from floor to ceiling electric current runs down
through the pipe into the floor and up the walls looping it get this
1.3 million times per second 1.3
mehz sounds less impressive when you put it in the context of like uh you know
CPUs yeah said it's not the same kind of her but trust me it's a lot it's a lot
and this is cool the looping electricity creates a room filling magnetic field
running in a circular pattern perpendicular to the pole so no humans
can stand within 46 cm of the foot and a half for our American viewers yeah of
the copper pool because your body will absorb dangerous amounts of energy but
the but the researchers say it is safe to transmit 1.9 kilow of electricity
enough to power up to 320 USB power
devices I can see I can see P's brain
exploding so pel's just to put this in the appropriate context P's mom is a
researcher on the effects of EMF on humans and um it is it is her belief
that we are underestimating and I'm putting this fairly mildly but it is her
belief that we are underestimating the effects of all the waves and bullcrap
that are going on around us and I get
the feeling that she probably wouldn't want to live on a block that has one of
these on it do I get that do I get did I get that right Pella he's nodding he
would she want to live in a city that has one of these in it I'm getting the
I'm getting the head shake
honestly you know you know what's really what's interesting about this is that
um I think we're finally getting to the point
where I'm I'm right up there with the
guys that are like look if you can't prove that it's causing a problem it's
probably fine it's a magnet we're like surrounded by magnets and crap anyway I
mean there's like hippie morons out there that wear them because they think
that it will Channel their Chi or whatever um they didn't die so it's
probably fine like I'm I'm I usually kind of take that approach go ahead put
an implant in my you know eye that helps me you know see better there there's
never to my knowledge there's never been any study that actually suggests that
things like em interference is actually like hazardous or cancer causing or
anything I mean yeah if you if you get bombarded with Gamma raay or something
that's a little bit different but I'm talking about you know Electronics so but this is this makes me a little
uncomfortable well just don't stand um
less than 1.5 ft from it right but this but this 46 CM th
like it's not like it's not like a microwave oven where we go yeah that
stuff's dangerous yeah like you shouldn't do this you put your head in there and it's a big problem but it's
okay we put a faraday cage around it where we have the Faraday cage this is a
well understood thing and it's
fine and here we're saying yeah it's
fine don't get too close how close is too close well this I guess and you know
what I'm sure there's science to back this up sure it's you know and I'm sure
twitch chat is full of people raging at me because Disney has already
demonstrated that Beyond exactly exactly 46 CM um you know it it it fades away
into the background radiation of which there is lots I
know but it's like a foot and a half it's dangerous beyond that don't worry
about it uh 1.9 kilowatt of electricity
don't worry about it I can see them refining this to the point where they'll
deploy it at like their theme parts and stuff and if it actually you know would
cause a problem there' be so many lawsuits so I feel like they would probably be pretty careful with it so
you think in the interest of protecting themselves from lawsuits bearing in mind
of course that you know lawsuits didn't
result in the tobacco industry having to
pay for you know the entire world's lung
cancer treatments like um yes with that in mind do you
think Disney is exposing themselves any more than let's say tobacco big
tobacco did wow it's like a law school exam question um so so what's your
actual question FL out a little bit more sure
I'll flush it out so your you say Disney would research it
fully to avoid exposing themselves to potential lawsuits because people are
walking around in their park and getting you know ass cancer or whatever the case
may be I like how that's now the second
like butt Anatomy reference we've already made on W show oh I can do more
than that oh I know I know I you should see how many I can fit in there I work
with this guy 40 hours a week so there we go anyway
uh sorry um okay but what I'm asking is are
they really exposing
themselves any more than than previous
um what's it called precedent like then then we already have precedent for these
companies not ultimately ending up being responsible for giving people cancer I
mean okay if if they get to the point where okay we know this is safe and the
reason I even bring that up in the first place is because oh you know if you go
to like Disney World or something they give you the little they call them magic bands you wee them here and it's got
like an RF chip in it and they they're like oh you don't even have to carry
your wallet around with you unless you want to buy alcohol or something because you can just do you tap to everything
and it works right so so I can see them deploying Wireless power in in like
let's say a theme park to do something with those or to or to make their rides
cooler so they don't have to run wires or something like that but y but
regardless of what they use it for if they're going to do something like that you know if they if there's a real
danger they would obviously have to like disclose it and they wouldn't do that
because if they say oh by the way if you walk into our Parks we're testing this
new thing out it's probably going be pretty cool but you also might get
ballat cancer or something and that would be very bad so so um and even if
they warm people everyone's going to be like yeah let's not go there so so you
know I I can't see them using this in like a very you know risky manner okay
so the basic argument being made here is that consumers were complicit in giving
themselves cancer because by the time the dangers had been proven there was a
warning label on the box and they're ultimately buying cancer so that's their
problem whereas if they walk into a theme park with the assumption that there's magic cell phone charging mhm
not realizing that there's any any danger that Disney would be exposing
themselves if they hadn't done appropriate due diligence at the very least yeah it's called Assumption of the
risk and it varies really wildly depending on exactly what situation
you're talking about I'm actually not down on my history because you know I was born in ' 87 and I'm so I'm not sure
exactly I'm not I'm not a smoker so I don't know exactly when they started
putting the warnings in all the cigarette boxes that said yo this might
kill you it was like how you know when they first invented Coca-Cola they had
cocaine in it back in n 1910s or something and they had no idea like how
bad cocaine was for people so so I'm I'm not exactly sure about that but like at
the same time I think there is a you know you know you know the average
reasonable person as we say in law you know if they walk into Disney World
because they want to go meet Mickey Mouse and ride Space Mountain you know I
think there's a reasonable expectation that that will not give me cancer so
right there we go so special cancer Mickey yeah as opposed to inhaling smoke
and lighting things on fire haling smoke which I think is just obviously
inherently more dangerous so than meeting Mickey unless you have like a
depending where you're meeting Mickey unless you have like a a crippling
psychological fear of like FES if you're meeting Mickey in the back alley that's
probably inherently as dangerous as inhaling
burning that that that's really not safe no meeting making the Alleyways off of
International Drive in Orlando please do not do that probably a good idea so the
original article here is from Kotaku the switch will not have a virtual console
at launch and this is a statement from Nintendo Virtual Console games will not
be available on Nintendo switch at launch we will share more information in
the future so virtual console for those of you not familiar is Nintendo's
emulation service which allows the switch to play games from The Nest up
through the GameCube it will likely
become a major part here's the original article here from where's it from again
Kaku right it will likely become a major part of the console's new paid for
online subscription which will offer NES and SNES games each month the delay in
Virtual Console support likely means we'll also be waiting longer for
Nintendo's plans on whether discounts will be offered on games previous
previously bought for other platforms so
this is kind of a bummer in a wide variety of different ways um so NES and
SNES games each month does this mean they'll have like a rotating selection
of titles and they'll only be available for so long and then after that you
can't play anymore or am I understanding that I hate to say this um but I don't
know I think we've discussed this previously and Luke knows the answer but
um I'm sorry I don't remember I'm sure twitch chat is going to pipe up and let you know anyway I'll keep an eye on it
but uh basically I understand what's going on here um this is an entirely new
architecture so it's not like Nintendo could just be like oh well let's just
take the emulation software we were already using and let's just run it on
the switch not that simple this is a completely new device
um so I get what happened there but it's
like super balls
because Nintendo is doing their thing
where like I don't even know why it made headlines that Nintendo was allowing you
to carry Virtual Console purchases forward from Wii to Wii U because I mean
it it half made headlines because of the ass backwards way that they did it where
you like had to deactivate your Wii and
then put it on your Wii you instead of
just having it be account based is ridic anyway the point is now I mean we don't
even know if we're going to get a discount on games we previously bought
let alone still have them and be able to carry them forward and number two is
that this even further damages the game library of the switch
it doesn't even have Virtual Console this time and it's also funny because
let's say someone is waiting for the switch and maybe they were tired of
their Wii or they sold it or whatever and they want to play an older game
guess what they're going to do they're going to Pro there's a chance that
they'll pirate it and this is a company that's extremely protective of his IP so
there might be more problems with that which Nintendo was ultimately going to be very upset about but because they
didn't ju they didn't simply find a way to either Port Virtual Console over or
at least say okay we're going to at least have something more available for you at launch
so all right um that was pretty much it
for that wasn't it yeah yeah okay cool let's move on to the next topic then
Microsoft is testing underwater data
centers so the original article here is from spectrum. e.org and I know that the
whole concept of underwater data centers is not necessarily the newest thing ever
but there's some new information and this was originally posted on the Forum
by helpful member actually I might be getting ahead of it might be uh oh
aluminium Tech okay yes helpful member aluminium
um so basically there's some more information new
developments in a nutshell lower construction costs thanks to oh we
haven't done our sponsors yet holy crap let's go our sponsors first not fresh
books fresh books lets you if you run a
small business or you're a contractor or you um are self-employed or a YouTuber
or if you're a YouTuber actually yeah fresh books lets you get organized save
time and collect money faster
you can use it completely free for 30 days but in a nutshell What it lets you
do is track your time track your expenses create and send professional
invoices in seconds and it gives you a
lot more granular control over your business than you also might expect so
for example once you send those invoices you can set up like payment terms for
them so you could require the client to pay 10% up front as a down payment let's
say you were a house painter for example or let's say you were a a a technician
you kind of go look there's a diagnostic fee of $30 and then beyond that it's
hourly so you can use freshbooks you can go okay yep here's your bill it's $30
down up front then the other stuff comes kind of after that as you continue to
work awesome freaking cool people can pay through the platform and when you
send out invoices you can even see if your client has looked at it so you can
put an end to all those crappy guessing games the mobile app also has all the
functionality of their desktop version so you can take fresh books with you
wherever you go like scanning receipts and all that good stuff and if you have
any questions or problems you can reach out to their support staff where you
will speak to a real human being no phone tree no escalations no return
calls just answers so had to freshbooks.com when claim your free
trial today try it out you have nothing
to lose but the money you would pay for a subscription which from the accounts
we get from our viewers who have signed up for it we've been advertising for fresh books for a long time time we've
got a lot of people who have converted to the platform are more than made up
for by the efficiency
savings epan speaking of savings epan
has basically saved the reliability of this show which has been absolutely
fantastic we love their Avio video Grabbers they're portable so they are
just powered off usb3 you just go plunk laptop desktop whatever the case may be
and there's like no drivers there's no configuration you just plug NVIDIA
Source boom you're capturing so they're great for live production like this for
example gaming uh lecture capture collaborations webcasting blogging one
of the biggest things for me is the fact that they automatically detect the input
resolution this is something that has blown my mind that other capture stuff
hasn't done automatically forever why make me manually select it
it doesn't make any sense especially ones that I know have the hardware just
the makers like yeah that feature seems unnecessary you should know what you're
outputting you know what in some cases you don't some cameras you select
29.97p and you won't get a signal out of them until you select 59.94i because
that there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason for it that seems like a lot of rig roll just to capture a
video signal absolutely and uh basically
epiphan makes it easy so the Avio line is available in SDI HD so that's up to
1080P and then 4K so we've we've
actually got all three of them we've used them all on Wow for doing things
like capturing uh bioses so let's say we
were recording gameplay footage and the computer blue screen rebooted into the
BIOS we had to adjust an overclock and then we had to go back into Windows and
launch the game again thanks to epan we can capture that entire process because
it'll just switch input resolutions as we go and we don't lose that valuable
experience that we're having that we're trying to share with you guys in our videos so
absolutely loving it check them out at the link below
epanomi we love these guys yes they cost more
than a cheapo capture card but pay for
what you get they don't cost more than two Cheapo capture cards which is what
you might end up buying if you don't just buy something good in the first place I speak from
experience yeah all right
um so this is interesting RS Technica
reports that Amazon is refusing to hand
over data on whether their Alexa
overheard a
murder Amazon said that because of the
Constitutional concerns at issue the authorities need to demonstrate a
compelling need for the information and must exhaust other avenues to acquire
that data even Alexa's answers are apparently
protected by the First Amendment which protects as speech the results produced
by an internet search engine so wow
we've had so many legal topics today this is great M your thoughts because I
don't I don't know well again Amazon is a huge company I'm sure they could
afford some very good lawyers but at the same time I kind of raised my eyebrow a
little bit because I'm not sure about like the first amendment here this
sounds to me a lot more like Fourth Amendment search and seizure um the
fourth amendment is the piece of our Constitution that says um it says you
can't um search or see someone's property without a warrant right yeah so
this seems to fall a lot more into that you know I'm not exactly sure how the
First Amendment comes into play here there's there's a quote from the court
Mo there is a quote from the court motion there we go um I'm looking at
that is alleging that this could um have a chilling effect on speech from users
so folks who buy an Alexa or buy like um
what what's the what's the other product is is it's I'm drawing the blank right now Echo yeah the echo an Alexa or an
echo from exercising their first amendment rights to seek and receive
information and expressive content in the privacy of their own home okay so
there is like a little bit of a concern there but the more immediate one seems
to be whether um whether they can actually be compelled to turn the
information over which which like I said I feel like there's some other concerns
maybe like Asser and seizure that would be that would be brought up here because
it's a it's a local police department in Arkansas that's actually asking for the
data Bentonville that's where Walmart is headquartered right so fun fact of
course you know that but all right so
not I'm I'm not entirely sure about that but it did make it did it did make me
raise my eyebrow a little bit I'm also just intrigued like if if Alexa did in
fact hear a hear a murder or was present for a murder like what exactly is being
stored on their servers like what what what Amazon actually knows about it yeah
I mean at at a certain point I have to I
have to kind of like you know for myself
I have to kind of wonder whether there's a a line between
sort of legal obligation and just sort
of moral obligation in this case like I I personally as someone who was murdered
would appreciate Amazon kind of you know
helping me out on this I don't know why my HDMI output isn't working well I mean
at the end of the day this I got you I got you um at the end of the day this
kind of comes back down to um obviously
Amazon's business right because if if
this gets out and it's like oh well you know the cops were able to get their
hands on what my what my smart speaker
from Amazon heard then they might may not buy smart speakers anymore so there
you go right fair enough okay I could
have done that you know this is a maze ball
um the article here is from The Washington Post and you guys oh have to
check this out um is this just a slideshow it's pretty
cool though like or it's a video but hope I don't get into too much trouble but France is apparently training Eagles
and I hope we yeah there we go you can kind of see training Eagles to snatch
drones out of the Skies to combat
terrorism freaking awesome way to go France I'm you guys are amazing so uh
basically they they train them from a very young age um and they wanted a way
to take down drones without shooting at them so there you go they train them from a very young age they're hatched on
top of drones to get used to feeding from them and practice drones have meat
attached to them this is amazing so the
military is designing leather and Kevlar
mittens an anti-blast material to protect their
talons wow that's freaking awesome I'm also
surprised like if you hear the headline army trains Eagle to attack drones you
would think it's the us but it was France I right it's like take that
America France is gonna um uh no no this
one okay uh okay last topic for the day
GTX 1080 TI rumors NVIDIA will be
holding a GTX gaming celebration event on February 28th
allegedly um just after AMD's caps and
cream event the same day so the original article here is from overclock 3d. net I
don't know any of this stuff NVIDIA states that this event is one that you
don't want to miss with many people speculating that the event will be used
to launch new GPU Hardware how very
interesting all right so last thing left for today is uh oh yeah hold on a second
there you go so there there you go that is the rumor oh I don't even know is
that just photosho I think it's just a mockup that just looks photosho the the
ti kind of just looks shoved in there so yeah yeah I don't think that's a real
one no no no this is pretty okay anyway
there it is which leaves our last topic as Flo playing Club so those of you who
aren't familiar with float playing Club in a nutshell it's a super cool way to
watch Linus Media Group videos one week
early we've actually got way more members than we were expecting to have
at this point in the process but I just want to tease you guys with
what's going to be coming to Floatplane Club in the next week or no not what's
going to be coming to Floatplane Club sorry what's going to be coming to
YouTube what is already available on Floatplane club now so starting on
tomorrow actually it's going to be a heck of a week so
uh right oh right no no what is already there what is already there is right
Apple airpod Alternatives so we uh we
took for a spin a bunch of wireless earbuds that um are a lot cheaper or in
some cases even more expensive than the Apple airpods to kind of determine is
Apple really overpriced or just is it just expensive we've got server room
upgrade Vlog part two of three we've got
our investigation into bulk thermal compounds so we bought a kilogram of
thermal compound and we find out is buying your thermal compound in bulk
worth it we've got Dell's inspiring game gaming so their new replacement for the
Inspiron 90 whatever Inspiron 15 whatever it was so this time they're
really calling it Inspiron gaming and it's looking like a pretty cool little
machine we've got um that was a
simultaneous release we've got server room upgrade vog part three of
three and that's it yeah so all of those are
up on Floatplane Club right now and we've actually got fastest possible topics up there as as well which I can't
find unfortunately right now but if you know them off the top of your head that might be helpful well uh we just pushed
one out today um on the Nintendo P one out popped one out today yeah
oh on WE plopped out a video today if you
would if you would prefer that on the Nintendo switch um Nintendo switch as
fast as possible now available on float planing Club um it's a pretty
comprehensive yet pretty quick rundown of the new features you can expect on
the Nintendo switch so you have that to look forward to on YouTube next week
actually on switch launch day so cool oh and did we mention um DRM free downloads
