very hello it's w show time again my
friends and also all of you people who are watching cuz you know let's let's
face it you and I are the one no I'm saying that we're like we're friends oh
okay I'm not saying we're not you're just but they're internet friends you went yes they're internet friends but
that is totally a different classification Jake calls me an internet
friend does he really he does even though you actually are in the same
building as each other at at least like four to six hours a day first time I met
was in person right no he's wrong so an
internet friend we can like we can actually Define this fairly easily an
internet friend to me okay is someone that you had to meet first online okay
okay and that you've only seen in person
either once or if the additional times
you've seen them in person were because you happened to be traveling to get
there anyway okay is that fair so a con or
something yes like they're an like you met them at a convention a while ago or
you met them online or yeah okay and then oh we both happen to go to packs
yes I see them at packs once a year they're still an internet friend yeah
okay yeah yeah I could see that yeah you got any other sort of ways to Define
what an internet friend is um no I think
that's pretty good I think you could meet them in person first still really
yeah because like for instance there was at Lan couver I met a dude who's sitting
right next to to me do you have to meet them somewhere techy can I just jump in
with that I think that would help a lot okay um but I think I think it has to do
with like the percentage of interaction so I met this dude at lancou okay we
only started talking on the last day and pretty much all that happened was I was
like hey what's that game that you're playing and he's like it's this and I
was like oh and ended up being a multiplayer game and I was like it looks pretty cool maybe I'll get it and he was
like sure I'll play with you add me on Steam never talk to him at all outside
of that interaction in person and then only to him online for like
years past that okay so I think you're pretty safely internet friend zone with
that guy yeah now let me hit you with a different one so met someone at bible
camp okay okay so I'm there for like a week but see that that's the I think
that's one of the differentiators this isn't necessarily A techy thing that you're talking about but you're kind of
locked in this situation yeah you committed to go here yes I had to be
there you're staying there for
yeah not allowed not even just the
payment thing it's in like hope so you're not there's nowhere to go anyways
the thing about the British Colombian City of
Hope your only hope is that the the name's a little ironic
um so okay so I so I meet a girl at at
camp and we only talk like a few times
this one time but then we exchange no not like that but then we look it was
Bible Camp okay doesn't she say Bible Camp h no band camp yeah yeah yeah so we
exchang MSN because that's what we had dude I miss MSN in those days oh MSN was
so good we spent the next year MSN in constantly but didn't see each other for
an entire year okay okay then after the
following year Bible camp we start dating is she because it develops into
something else is she still an internet friend
for that first year see okay this is
even more wild cuz I've only ever actually thought of the concept as
because these are what my friends do I've only thought of the concept as Internet friend as
Gamers right because anyone that I had like
extended conversations with that we weren't gaming MH was like people that
went to my school so they were definitely real life friends cuz I saw
them daily got it right so I think that is a real life friend that transitioned
to an internet friend that transitioned to a girlfriend that is a real life
person okay that's a lot of transitions I I think you guys flip-flopped a little
bit okay I think there was some flopping okay got it got it internet friend
flopping like do the friend flop yeah but well that's awkward that was
really not where I was going with that uh so we got a great show for you guys
today contrary to what you might think from having witnessed that intro to it
the best show um main news topics AMD RX
Vega specs leaked wow surprising so this is the uh the gaming version of
Vega um number two wow is it just all
AMD news no one saw that coming the ryzen 5600 becomes the second
bestselling CPU on Amazon that's actually pretty cool though can we give
a round of applause to AMD congratulations for like building a
thing that people think is Bomb all right although this is kind of
a part two of that news story the rumor has officially been squash AMD having
taking 10% market share from Intel is not a thing
um and is building the world's biggest lithium ion battery in South Australia
but the Germans are building an even bigger battery but that's not going to
be ready for like quite a while while uh
Elon musk's version I think is going to be ready pretty soon and the format
dictates that we should have four main news topic call outs but I have to call
this one out Canadian porn Mega site PornHub
becomes interactive with a new series of
videos so you'll pretty much never have to leave the house again yeah is um sort
of where that might be heading all right then let's uh launch the intro and get
into
it I had no idea that PornHub was
Canadian are they really neither yeah they are I even looked it up on
Wikipedia careful with that search now no I'm okay
now okay now hold on a minute let's get the let's get the sponsor stuff out of
the way thank you savage jerky fresh books Savage ice um okay so now let's do
kind of 10 steamboats to make sure that the sponsor is checking to make sure we
did that aren't still watching got to have a wee bit of a buffer you know you
know we could pretend to launch into a topic about the high-tech thing that's
in this box blah blah highly related to this highly related to that look at this
that goes in there boom okay I think we've waited long enough congratulations
okay so uh Linus's screen so PornHub
Canadian the first thing obviously is Canadian porn videos okay so you can
watch Canadians and Canadian babes and
Canadian amateurs Canadian girls um that's bad word today I learned
that PornHub is a Canadian company this is Reddit should be
okay uh 1 second one
second I am 18 plus but I don't know for a fact that you guys are it goes to
Wikipedia okay and here we go okay okay it's Wikipedia launched and
headquartered in Montreal go figure and here okay I
learned something else today Montreal is the third largest porn producing city in
the world after LA and Amsterdam wow I had no clue at all I love that the the
first response to that so proud of my city
how about that good job um okay anyway
let's get into uh let's get into some tech topics here first so this was
originally posted by Mr troll on the Forum and the source for this one is
wccf Tech so take it with a grain of salt as usual
it looks sick I'm just going to drop
that in there real quick I really like this new design that looks a lot better
than the frontier Edition it does I love the blacked out PCI Express bracket it's
little tou like that that make a big
difference and actually this logo I really didn't like it black on Blue it
okay but ran on black looks really sick like this honestly the whole time it has
just reminded me of descent okay you know what I'm saying see I could see how
you could go kind of scary eyes on it
yeah but without being too overtly that
yeah I like it yeah it's kind of got like a Batman the Animated Series kind
of vibe to it the a little bit of the
fun back to like how graphics cards get to look yeah cuz lately it's just been
like well the only high performance graphics cards that have existed have
been NVIDIA um and they're gray and they are
sometimes they're black yes some correct they're gray except when they're black
and also you get a green lighting accent oh don't leave
green but like and they look sharp but it's been the same thing for a really
long time and like I kind of I understand that it looks gudy and is
objectively worse but I kind of sometimes miss the old days when you'd
have like the art on the graphics card
shut up you can it was fun you can miss it it f you can miss it in a nostalgic
way but you would not put that in your system today admit it now we should make
a CR no admit it we should make a cringe build I'm not letting you change the
subject admit it you would not put that in your system today I would no you
would no you wouldn't no you wouldn't upgrade me to 108 TI I'll do it no they
don't there aren't even any there's nothing that bad anymore there is
nothing that bad anymore get a dbrand to skin it okay hold on let me see if I can
find like some examples graphics cards
um I'm sure they've looked into it at some point
okay okay not that this is what we're talking about this is the kind of crap
that used to be on high-end cards but pull me back out camo and like some why
are these all the same thing did you look up this yeah I looked up this specific card cuz it's hilarious okay
this I that's fine there's it's like there's
like Sparks coming off of it and it looks ridiculous but that's fine that's
not like stupid like let's like okay let's find some gain word video cards I
like the like okay they're pretty cool now those
all look fine okay no no but let's go back to like you know 8,8
8800s like look at
this what it looks like it looks like is
that it looks like WWE Buddha or something look like someone literally
changed their mind on what they were drawing many times and then we're just
like yeah that's fine just forget it okay you know what screw it I'm not
getting paid that much to do this anyway yeah yeah
exactly like no you would not be putting
that Jank bull app in your system it's all about performance man all right so
let's talk about some RX Vega specs here it's going to be shipping with a core
clock of around 1630 MHz um so at what
point do I does this people were hating on me so hard for the Vega reality check
on last week's W show I'm not surprised
we knew that this is the professional card so it doesn't indicate about the
gaming card things like that's it's like
comparing a NVIDIA Quadro to a GeForce in
games which you can do and they perform
the
same surprising there are some Fair points there are some features that are
not yet enabled on the frontier Edition card hesitated for a sec I almost called
it Founders Edition there are some features that aren't enabled on the
frontier Edition card and they are gaming features but what I said on the
show in if you actually listen is that
it's not going to be making up the performance Delta to give AMD a
legitimate top tier competitor it's not
going to get faster enough to take on
the 1080 TI I don't see that realistically
happening and something you guys have to
understand as well is that NVIDIA is just toying with them at this point they
are they have they are showing Volta
hardware and if they have big Volta you
don't have to think too critically to
look back and go well whenever they've
got working Hardware of a given new architecture the other size dies are
only as far behind as the team tweaking
and altering and finalizing them takes
that's how far behind Volta Hardware is
so by the time you can actually buy an RX Vega NVIDIA is sitting there going
okay do we launch in you know two months
or like do we start announcing do we start teasing to to to to kill the hype
train a little bit or do we do we have a
year to sit and milk Pascal while you
know while Volta just while we take all our vola and we send it into the
supercomputing space um I mean to be
clear it's not like I'm rooting for NVIDIA here people misunderstand me a
lot of the time it's just that I can
take things that we know and extrapolate
based on other things that we can guess or that we historically true and make an
educated guess even if I don't have the hardware in hand this is why we've
theorized in the past about being able to make a video about a graphics card
before it comes out and how accurate that would actually be and honestly we
we keep joking about making it but if we did I don't think it would be a very valuable piece of content and we get
trashed on for making it so there's no real point we're not going to do it no but there are times when we' would have
been pretty damn close very like freakishly close like with one piece of
information like if all we knew was price yeah putting together believable
performance graphs based on everything else that we
know pretty pretty solid and like one thing that I did for the 1080 launch was
I went around and I asked creators uh what they thought the price would be or
no what they thought the hardware would be in it and what they thought the price
would be is and how they thought the performance would be is and other than
the surprise of s SMP pretty accurate it was pretty close
within $100 every time within a pretty tight performance metric every time okay
see I see a little bit of discussion in twitch chat about how we tried to do
that with the ryzen 5 we did not yeah
and it worked yeah our Horizon 5 numbers
were bang on and and all the stress and upset that people had about some of the
cores being on one CCX and some of them being on another one ended up being a
non-factor when it came to anything other than a few specific benchmarks
most of which were synthetic so you you
can you can guess a lot um anyway sorry
I will finish talking about the specs 8 gigs of hbm2 memory which is freaking
incredible but also terrifying so it's incredible because hbm2 is coming to a
non like AI supercomputing card yeah but
terrifying because it's not going to be cheap and I do worry about RX Vega being
price competitive if it's going to be shipping with such expensive memory yeah
um so that'll total 484 GB of memory
bandwidth Al righty then um and the
rumored 3D Mark 11 performance score has RX Vega at
31,800 about 4,000 ahead of the GTX 1080
and about double the score of the GTX 1070 that no that doesn't seem right I
didn't think there was that big of a difference between the 7 1070 I mean
mind you guys this is a synthetic Benchmark um and it has the 1080 TI
maintaining a commanding lead with over 38,000 points the rumored cost would be
$600 so right now it's hard to talk about graphics card
pricing yeah exactly what I was just going to say 108 TI on amazon.com looks
like it's about 9900 to 950 uh 108ti on
New Egg right here looks like it's about 750 plus maybe a little bit depending on
what version you get they do have stock so it looks like miners are not buying
these very high-end cards at least uh in stock limit two per customer so if it
can come in within spitting distance of the ad0
TI at $600 then at least AMD is looking like
they could have a performance competitive product though we still
don't know necessarily anything about how async compute is going to shake down
what Vulcan and directx12 performance in real games is going to look like uh we
still don't know much about how it's going to size up power consumption so
like performance per watt wise although that doesn't look very promising um it
might also just like barely matter because I suspect this price isn't going
to stay the same at all because AMD
cards right now are better for mining for mining so they're just all going to
vanish that's kind of my expectation we'll see yeah um it's starting to the
mining thing is starting to cool down a little bit it's still pretty crazy as
far as I can tell but it is starting to cool down a little bit so we'll see by the time this actually drops how much
impact it'll have in regards of that blah blah blah blah blah but yeah all
right so uh this was originally posted
by priceon on the forums it's a little bit more Vega news before we move on uh
AMD's Roger kadur confirms RX Vega die
size at 484 mm squared so that's pretty
darn big that's a big GPU um we actually
covered this in a little bit more depth in our NVIDIA gpus Through the Ages as
well as did we do AMD GP yeah we did both of them we did both uh AMD and
NVIDIA gpus Through the Ages and I'm trying to pull that up right now but
there have only been a handful of gpus that have been bigger than about 500 mm
squared so oh for some reason it's prompting me for credentials here that
is that is very very annoying so I can't
look it up other than to like load up the video right now but
um what that tells us is that AMD
was if die size anything to go on and a
lot of the time it can be because it
tells us sort of how expensive the GPU
is and therefore what price Bend they're probably hoping to Target with the
finished product and therefore what performance they think that they're
probably going to have to compete with so that tells us that AMD maybe didn't
think that they were going for unprecedented performance like they
would have with something like the um
r600 so that was the 29 00
XT but hopefully I can find uh yeah I
think this is going to be too hard to find live right now but it tells us that
they were legitimately going for something pretty darn
highend yeah unfortunately I can't I
can't find my uh my die siiz graph with
all of them on it but that's okay there a lot of graphs man yeah it's a lot of
graphs in this video so there's there's just not a lot I can do about that oh I
hope I'm not uh yeah no I'm not doing that you're good okay
so here we go this is part one of two of
this next topic this was posted not by nobody on the Forum so this was an
article over on Tom's Hardware and the
ryzen 5600 skyrockets to number two on Amazon
and while this isn't a like 100%
indication of you know how many of them are out there pass Mark submission have
increased telling us that people are out there buying AMD ryzen CPUs which is
great news even though this is after
Intel's reactionary moves with the 7740
and the 7640 yeah like the PassMark thing that's
obviously only going to be like rather hardcore people but being number two on
Amazon is very transparent like building your build your own PC people for the
most part but with that said we actually have a review unit coming in of an all
AMD entrylevel gaming rig from
Dell okay that's interesting right yeah
because once you get partners like that on board that makes a lot more mainstream too Dell's the kind of
company that sells boxes to people
who aren't necessarily looking at the real world performance in Benchmark X
and you know real world application y they just want to buy thing and have it
play a game and they're looking for appealing specs and that's something
that AMD did really really well with ryzen is they not only delivered
something that performs well in the
benchmarks but they delivered something that looks great on paper sounds good
this one has eight processing cores and 16 threads even if you don't understand
what that means sounds like a lot it's a lot it's double number what the
comparably priced Intel one would be yeah that is fantastic FC Synergy to use
the uh probably the word they used Synergy between the marketing team and
sales team and engineering team Marketing sales and Engineering soltion
y so you got to give them full credit for that and like having worked selling
computers before it totally works oh yeah and like you might even be like
this one is better and someone will read the numbers on the sheet and be like I don't care you're trying to upsell me
you're a jerk you're probably getting a commission for pushing that yeah because
this one says it has more numbers and it's like oh well then the frustrating
thing is that like they could be right A lot of the time like I was always the
sales guy that was like I would upsell
but I would upsell because people would walk in wanting to buy an Athlon 64 3500
Plus or 3700 Plus or whatever I think the 3700 plus was in FX I worked with a
different int so I was often downselling right yeah so they would walk in and
they would want like a sing like a high in single core and I'd be like whoa whoa
hold on okay for a hundred bucks more
and you're already spending like $500 for 100 bucks more I want you to buy
this it's an entry-level dual core you're going to like it and they'd be
like they they'd come in the next week and they'd be like getting a new
keyboard or something' be like holy crap
I am so glad that you sold me that and then I spent the extra hundred bucks my
buddy has this one cuz they'd be like buying whatever their friend had or whatever it runs circles around it he
can't even believe it he's going to be in next week to buy one I'm like yeah
dog that's what's up um cool and like I
always liked people getting a good value even if I didn't necessarily get them a
cheap price cuz that to me is what spending your money smartly is about
about not having to replace something 9 months or 12 months from now
when you could have spent an extra hundred bucks now to keep it for two or
three years and there's like there's there's some impossible metrics there um
like I hate it when someone will come in and ask like hey uh I get questions
about this with my 2600k all the time I had my 2600k for a super long time I was
streaming with it doing all this other kind of stuff and they're like hey I just bought this processor um is this
going to last me as long as your 2600k it lasted you and I'm like man that is
way too big of a time frame for me to tell you yes or no I can't give you the
right answer to the wrong question yeah like this isn't I can't I really can't
do this I don't know what if like randomly some crazy new technology yeah
shows up yeah and unlike VR it actually like really super catches on and
everyone's doing it and oh burn burn and
like only processors within the last two generations are able to do it because
they have some weird technology on die and yours doesn't have it and you're now
pissed at me because I said you'd be good for that long like I can't I really
can't do that um but like there are
certain things that are rather obvious like hey dual cores just came out and
look they're like way better at
basically everything than single cores are still the single most expensive
computer component that I ever bought for myself was an Athlon 64 4400 Plus on
launch yeah like before we were talking about things being like business
expenses yeah um and I also okay you
could probably argue the two 7900 gtx's
that I bought at the same time but that's two products it's two products
and I got those I had them less than a week cuz I bought them used off a guy
who was flipping them and uh who was just like he was moving to
Crossfire uh at the time Crossfire was
bad um so he was going to Crossfire and
I uh I got them from him for like $100
below market value each and then I flipped them for what they were worth so
I had them for like a week just to Tool around with them just to just to bask in
what it was like to run a top-of-the-line SLI gaming setup and
like you know even though I was
following all the rumors and everything like that the used Market Hardware
values are not the same as the retail Market they're affected by things like
rumors y so as soon as a rumor dropped
that something else was coming I knew that $200 was going to be dropped off
the value those each of them instantly so I was like I was like holding on to
them like this I was like I got to get rid of these things I got to get rid of these things but that that didn't stop
me from like playing Far Cry and stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah Far Cry 1 yeah dog
oh man that crazy man it great game it
was like there were things that like really irked me about it like the fact
that oh it had problems there were organic creatures that you could hit
like six times with a rocket launcher and they wouldn't die and like rocket
ammo was like every game like was pretty limited like if I'm carrying around
rocket launcher ammo like let me use it
have fun with it a little bit Yeah like it should leave a a gaping crater the
size of you know a freaking football
helmet in the side of this thing at least yeah yeah you know uh
um anyway sorry we wow we are not
staying on topic very well here um in
other news AMD's r7700 is in fourth place as well with
that said this was originally posted by rev silver spine on the Forum the rumor
that AMD managed to gain 10.4 percentage
points of CPU market share in the second quarter of6 uh 2017 is a little
misleading because the data is from a self- select survey and uh they're
putting it very mildly here so the original article is from Seeking Alpha
here AMD customers are more likely to
self-report on AMD's increased sales in market
share really AMD customers wow I mean to be
clear any fan of any company is likely
to self-report at at a rate that's
higher than um the actual numbers would be but how do I put this
lightly AMD fans you guys are
enthusiastic very enthusiastic about
AMD moving on which is which is good
that's good yeah we need arguments on the
internet more of them at least you know yes just we need at least AMD versus
Intel AMD versus
NVIDIA AMD versus versus other AMD yeah
and AMD versus just
cyrix all right um Tesla to build the
world's biggest lithium ion battery in
South Australia this was posted by daex
subo 11s what kind of name is is that on the Forum the original article is from
abc. auu so uh yeah the headline there is
pretty self-explanatory but basically the point is that they're promising to
build it in a 100 days or it'll be free
and this world's largest lithium ion battery will be will be able to store
energy or will be used to store energy from a nearby wind farm and it's like
the the the free thing it would cost them 50 mli million Yeah so basically
musk has issued a challenge to his own company to build it in a reasonable
amount of time or eat the cost of it which will be like huge PR either way I
guess but I think that's part of the point is I'm I'm pretty sure he's sure
that he can do it and this is a marketing stunt essentially for other
countries not necessarily other people but for other countries be like look we
can beef up your infrastructure super fast and like this is how confident we
are and to be clear this is a risk on both sides cuz this is basically like
this is like a bet it's like if I can build it in 100 days you pay for it and
if I go over the time limit I'll pay for it I'll pay for it yeah wow which is
pretty wild so this is this is a crazy stunt for him to get this Tech out there
on a much larger scale than something like a a homebased battery where sure
you're able to take advantage of off peak grid power and then use it during
peak hours save some money blah blah blah blah blah no no of this now we're
talking about taking energy that was stored while it was windy and using it
once the wind dies down very freaking cool um so South Australia has been
battling power problems since a Statewide blackout in September 2016 and
this could really change the way that
renewable energy is stored so uh very
cool but and we've got another two parter here the original article here is
from batteries international.com the Germans have an
announced that they will be building the world's biggest battery in underground
Caverns which makes it like even cooler cuz it's like the battery cave oh W oh
yeah I went there did you come up with that on the spot pre prepped oh that's
pretty good thank you uh to be fair okay
musk is apparently going to take him 100 days uh this crazy B toy cave battery uh
is going to be done by the end of 2023 but it'll be
700 mwatt or megawatt hours excuse mwatt
hours megawatt hours compared to just 100 it's like a small anchor B yeah it's
like but it's in a cave but it's is it's is a German fun it
will work better than the others we opened up an old bunker and just threw
it in yeah that's right yeah um outrageous oh we should do
our sponsor spot so that's probably a solid idea sponsors for today's W
show number one is freshbooks SL LTX cuz
freshbooks is our sponsor for LTX freshbooks is pretty much the way to go
if you're a small business owner or a freelancer and you're looking to keep
yourself organized get paid faster and
save time so you can spend your time fixing computers or teaching dance
classes or working on people's Plumbing
rather than spending your time tooling around with overly complicated
accounting software that literally actually requires an accounting program
in order to operate yeah literally actually requires freshbooks also comes
with you on the go so you can load up all the same features on your smartphone
whether it's Android or iOS and you can take pictures of receipts to track your
expenses track your hours and even create invoices in just seconds to send

and enter oh by the way enter linest Tech tips in the how you heard about s
section I am so freaking hungry I am so oh you know what no let's do need for
seat first okay need for seat makers of
the maxnomic line of chairs that you've probably seen featured online as Tech
tips many many times especially in my
office so I actually love that chair
um they now have a new service for their chairs now instead of just having see
you spoiled it you suck instead of just having a Max nomic logo embroidered you
can now have bam your name which would
have come in handy a lot of times around here with for all the times that people
have taken my chair I actually have a label on it it says lonus chair do not
steal didn't it happen today with this one even though it's embroidered yes it
did so maybe it's not the to track down though maybe it's not the solution to
that particular problem so people being jackasses is not something that
embroidery can solve but at least you can have like a ba multicolored
embroidery thing on your chair it's freaking cool uh they've got tons of
different chairs something for everyone and they've got a preview tool that
allows you to see what it's going to look like on the chair uh they've got
outstanding customer service and I can speak for the quality of the products
I've been using mine for over two years now me too since I did my first review
and other other than my cheap Costco jeans staining the seat blew a little
bit it looks like the day I got it yeah like I I love my chair um so head over
to need for seat.com and check out their new embroidery service today leading us
to our last sponsor which which apparently I I've seen multiple people
in the chat actually asking for this one to be on the show cuz I think it's
entertaining when we eat hot things also I think it's my turn
turn I hate you yeah I'm eating some delicious stuff
first okay that's now get into it that's fair Savage jerky is made with the best
ingredients without nitrates or preservatives the goal was to create a
snack that was full of flavor and spice but wasn't bad for you the inspiration
comes from the Flavor of garlic lime and cilantro cuz it brings out the flavor in
premium beef my personal
favorite is the maple Buffalo bacon which I think we're out of cuz I just
eat the entire pack every time we do a spot um but if you're into spicy man do
they ever have a lot of options Ops what are you going to hit me with this week
um you had me try man this one's good I
love the crack The Cracked Pepper and sea salt honestly I thought it was
pretty good at first now I actually like this one almost as much as a maple
interesting yeah so I'm putting it over on this side so you had me try oh ghost
pepper the ghost pepper because you thought it was hotter than the reaper so
I'm actually going to and I tried it and it wasn't that bad so I'm going to leave it up to you you can go with the one
that is listed as hotter and I think is hotter or you can go with the one that
is not listed as hotter you think is hotter tell here's what I'm going to do
I'm going to do both okay I'm going to settle this see I I've been I was
thinking about that but I didn't want to put that on you no no no no no no I see
I saw where you were going yeah no no don't think that just cuz you beat
around the bus that you didn't throw me under
it all right cuz you were setting them up you were setting up their
expectations a little bit a little a little bit okay there might have been
some minor social engineering going on so there's the that's a solid piece of
jerky right there that's a good looking piece of jerky that's a terrifying look
looking piece of jerky so use offer code LT and save 10% at www.savagearms.com
okay did we send them a message about the challenge pack
thing I don't think we remembered we should okay so you go ahead you do our
next uh next topic here and I'm going to do the
uh sorry I've got some of the other one stuck in my
tooth got it okay I don't want to I don't want to taint it I don't want to
taint it so I'm going to do a bite of
ghost pepper buffalo sauce first just to get my taste buds going then I'm going
to do one of each
okay you go ahead and move on to our next topic I also ate a really spicy one
apparently um wearables are tanking
Jawbone is liquidating its assets we've kind of seen this coming for a while
even from your own personal experience how often is your Smartwatch paired with
your phone just out of an interesting
question you overheard me talking about this didn't you did yeah but I'm like
not even the answer is like almost never right well I wouldn't say almost never
um how long how long has it been here let me fire up the end Gadget source for
this one I can throw that in the chat that's okay I got it jawbones demise
herold's the end of the wearables industry I think that's a little sensationalist I don't think that's
necessarily little rough little rough yeah I think there's still space for I
think you overheard me talking to Colton yeah because he asked
me okay I wasn't expecting to have to talk for this spot he asked me if I
would be comfortable doing a product placement for a um a non-s smartwatch
where I'm just wearing it yeah yeah yeah and I was like he's like yeah I know you
love the Smartwatch and I'm like yeah so let me put it this way um for over two
weeks I was wearing an Apple Watch that
was paired to my iPhone 6 the one that I
only use to listen to music and watch
videos in bed so when I was actually out and about
during the day like I I obviously wasn't getting call notifications or text
notifications cuz it doesn't have a SIM in it and it would only like I'd
randomly get like a bunch of notifications when I got home like it clearly was not the optimal experience
and it just wasn't even worth the five minutes like I like the Smartwatch
experience I just switch phones so often
that I just but it's not that important I just don't bother yes and like as a
consumer buying these H I would I would
buy and I would own one but if I had an Apple Watch I wouldn't run out and buy
the Gen 2 so my experience was cuz I I tried out the Sony SmartWatch 3 I
believe it was and I think I made a video on that quite a while ago I'm doing the other one okay go ahead so did
you just survived the ghost pepper right which you thought was hotter mhm okay um
so I I tried the Sony SmartWatch 3 I believe it was quite a while ago made a
video on it all that kind of jazz my issue with that was we we had a little
thing where like if you're reviewing a type of product you should probably use
it so I held on to that one for a little while it's now back but um I found
myself the need to charge it all the time and the fact that the charging port
was under it and under a silicone thing so I couldn't just like dock take it off
and like drop it on a dock I had to take it off and like get under there and
probably take it out of its actual band and then remove the Silicon thing and
plug in the little cable like it was just not a very usable experience and it
got to the point where I would rather take it off and leave it yeah see that
one is hotter oh okay see that one's
definitely hotter hold on give me a sec just let me let the pallette cleanse a
little bit okay all right so I still think it's just it's tedious and the
thing is like that's that's to make that experience better requires buying a new
watch and then now now I'm buying another watch and I wasn't really that
satisfied with that one and now it's the current level of watch and I still don't
think it's that great I think we might get there eventually but I I think we're
a few that's exactly it I think demise of wearables is a little ridiculous I
just think that wearables aren't going to be the slam dunk like next smartphone
like companies like Samsung or maybe even Apple were expecting them to
be because there the experience right
now just isn't worth five or six or
$800 like a premium watch yeah people
feel like is because it's a piece of jewelry um whereas I do think that there
are wearables out there that are more reasonably priced yeah that can make
sense and I also think that development will continue and we will get to the
point where the charging thing is a great Point like if I misalign my watch
and it doesn't charge that night yeah it doesn't work the next day that's a pain
in the butt whereas when wireless charging gets to the point where you
just kind of throw all your dunk in in a bowl at the end of the day then that's
cool that's way way way way better of experience it needs to be a lot easier
it right right now I feel like it's kind of a barrier between using things the
charging it is tedious making sure it's paired with all your stuff and linked
into all your apps right now is tedious it's not a seamless experience through your phone like there's just too many
steps that you have to constantly redo and it's just not there yet to
cover the news here this is just the latest wearable Pioneer to throw in the
towel uh last year Pebble sold its assets to Fitbit in a fire sale
as for Fitbit they're trading at a 52- we low so Jawbone was actually last
valued at 1.5 billion when they raised
165 mil in January
2016 despite shuttering their business they still think they're worth a
significant amount of money due to pending litigation with Fitbit but the
company has begun the process of liquidating itself at least in
part I also think that there's probably too many wearable Brands so I'm not that
surprised that this I'm a little surprised it's happening to Jawbone cuz they've been around for a long time and
most of them are just kind of junk from my experience I mean you were going to
do sorry oh get out of here yeah the
Apple watch blah blah blah like you were going to do a Roundup of Fitness
wearables Yeah we actually ran out and
bought like six of them super janky yeah but like it never happened
because well okay are we the real reason
why it didn't happen was it just took way too freaking long okay so we wanted
to pair with uh uh um educational institution X local
University yeah we want to pair with a local University because they have a
really cool onsite medical thing where they can like use proper equipment to
properly test exactly what's going on with your heart and we didn't want to do
it with like just some fitness band because I wanted absolutely as accurate
as I could get because I wanted this to be an actual thing that people could
point at when debating the viability of fitness watches um and they interested
but they wanted to uh launch these videos along with some thing that they
were working on and then it took them like they they said it was going to take
a few months end up taking them like six months I still started contacting them
and they were like okay well we're not really launching this thing in the same
way as before we can still work with you on it but how much are you willing to
pay us how much you will to pay us how much are you willing to pay us to use a
facility how much are you willing to pay us to use the consumables how much are
you willing to pay us for our time per person that has to be there here's all
the people that have to to be there basically it wasn't a partnership
anymore yeah they were looking for like a many thousands of dollars paycheck to
run this testing that was only existing for the sake of for the like we weren't
going to be making that kind of money on it like we were going to make like a
couple hundred bucks on AdSense and we invested a lot in buying all the watches
part of the idea of the video was actually and we were investing in a
video video crew and editing and like all that stuff that like we bring to the
table and it was going to be exposure for their program like they were just they were not being partners about it at
all and it was It was supposed to be a like actually a pro health video which
is why we wanted to work with a health focused Institute because it was
supposed to address the idea of people um OV exercising and I know that sounds
kind of weird because that's not usually the problem that exists but the problem
that they were trying to address was um
rather old people right ' 80s 90s year
old people that were trying to stay fit and that's awesome but going too hard at
it and stressing out their hearts like uh going for extended very extended bike
rides every single day right and it was just too stressful on their hearts but
they were looking at these smart watches and going oh I'm still within the
training zone right but that doesn't even if that is accurate which it's I
don't really know if I'm going to say that it is um it still doesn't account
for a lot of other things that can be going on with your heart that can be
super bad even if you're in the training Zone there can be other things going on
but people TR youve done a lot of research in terms of heart stuff yes
yeah but people trust this thing and they go oh it's saying that I'm doing
well therefore everything is going well but the heart's not as complicated as
just as fast as it's going so people trust this rather it's more complicated
yeah yeah and the fitbits congratulating them and giving them gamified feedback
about how well they're doing when their heart can't take this much stress
because they're old and it can't um so we were trying to help address that
also point at like amount of steps
that's happening and point at how stupid that is and we had a really cool shot
where we were in a bus in Mexico and my
step counter was just going like mad cuz there was all these bumps right um so
that we were going to address how inaccurate these things are but it just
never ended up working out okay I have the
answer so the reaper is hotter on the
tail end okay so it leaves more uh extended
Burn yeah okay whereas the ghost pepper probably has a hotter initial burst a
little bit of a punch but what I'll say is that this is the most of either of
them that I've been able to eat in one sitting we're gaining tolerance yeah
like I've always shows like I've always said in the past they're delicious yeah
but I can only handle like a bite
yeah oh wow oh that's like a full-size piece and
a half now if you total it all together right I'm feeling good that's crazy
these are freaking delicious they're even better once you're used to we're
off the sponsor spot just in case people are wondering but like
yeah man that's yummy so they should okay they should offer two different
things now and we we should like actually contact them about this there
should be the challenge pack and the tolerance pack and the tolerance pack
and the tolerance the tolerance subscription
maybe where like it sends you you you pick where you're starting is on the
line yeah and then it'll send you them like the same kind for like a month and
then you get upgraded up one heat tier and then it sends you the same kind for
like a month and then you get upgraded and you have to try to I like it yeah
all right so the original article here
is from Tech Crunch and it's finally happened yep
PornHub has built-in support for interactive toys
huh this is this is a great meme right here this image is not related to the
text cuz I don't think Tech crunch is is edgy enough to put in an image that is
related to the text here maybe not sure that
one was a little bit more LW oh man my
stomach is still working on it but but okay if someone no one's going to do
this but if someone went back to like the first time that we had a Savage jerky sponsorship oh yeah just about
killed me me too yeah it's it's it's
happening we're getting better so Canada's porn megga site porn Hub has
launched a new series of videos that sync with a user's interactive sex toy
to make it a more intimate experience both visually and physically and
something that I referenced a little while ago on a w show that you weren't
here for yeah was that I'm still subscribed to like the Oculus subreddit
and stuff like that and I've seen a the the percentage of time that a post
hits the front page that is about not sa for work topics seems to be I don't know
if this is 100% accurate but it seems to be to my perceptions without too far
into it increasing over time as interest
in VR decreases because the people that are still are still interested in it a
lot of them are using it for not safeer works stuff and PornHub is saying that
their VR category is doing very well and
I'm actually not that surprised a million plus views per day y I didn't
even think there were that many VR headsets out there I mean sometimes it
might take more than one video
who knows fair enough and I guess it's all
in how you define a view yes like if you're just like okay yeah skip the
first bit looks all right yeah skip to
the end okay here we go yeah is that a view I don't know probably important
terms sounds yeah yeah all
right uh so yeah I think that's pretty much yeah Samsung one's not really that
interesting okay hackers doing a thing
oh this is ridiculous original article here from RS techn posted by WM groom
AK one drive has stopped working on non- NFS
drives fat discs are no longer supported and more surprisingly neither is the new
RFS file
system whoa oh okay now just to be clear
it can still get you I had a little bit there go down the
wrong pipe oh okay that's particularly
ouch but uh basically okay why don't you
do this one the one drive thing okay
yeah so to continue to use the software files will need to be stored on an NTFS
volume you saw the error that was on Linus's screen I'm going to bring it
back up uh there you go so it will warn
you so that it must be formatted with NTFS file system now the thing that
sucks about that is you're going to have to move all of that stuff off
format your drive and move it back which is like super lame yeah if you're buying
storage space yeah that's like safe so you don't have to have it duplicated
because that that's the thing uh with with the like scaled storage
infrastructure thing where you have it in uh like three different locations and
two different formats and blah blah blah blah blah um you would have to retain
that while moving things off of the ENT NTFS systems onto wait no off of the
whatever other systems onto NTFS systems
um and what you're probably going to be doing is want to keep your current infrastructure and just format it so
you'd be moving it off to something they're going to have to trust very
likely in the cloud whether it's AWS or something else because you don't want to
permanently buy all these drives and then moving all of it back which is not
just tedious but it's expensive which is super freaking annoying I'm going to
move us off oh we're already off so you guys don't have to look at that ad
that's now online as the screen um looking back at it NTFS is a default
system for Windows but people using SD cards to extend the storage on small
laptops and tablets and nucks that's a
big thing right now so a lot of people that have uh busy computers that they
mount on the back of monitors uh those are commonly knck these days I know a
while ago they were all the uh Zotac
can't remember the name of it right now but Zotac ZBOX yeah ZBOX but they're
commonly Nu these days a lot of people expand the storage on Nu with SD cards
so yeah basically terrible and it's yet
reason not to use one drive because Google Drive works and people often
using storage spes to manage large redundant storage volumes will often use
RFS storage spaces is like their own
thing yeah oh in other
news this was posted by Jamie Con on the
Forum red apparently sorry is a phone
one quick thing before we go there apparently the company's position is
that one drive should always have warned about these used scenarios and that it's
only a bug or an oversight that it was allowed that it was allowed to be used
on non NFS volumes at all which is just
bogus but anyways yes red announced the phone Linus is going oh he's going for
the sea salt that makes a lot of sense yeah um red is announcing a phone it's a
very very expensive phone um costing
roughly these are subject to change either $1,500 95 for the titanium
version or $1,195 for the aluminium version which
is just nuts is a 5.7 in holographic
display it runs Android uh the handset
screen can seamlessly switch between traditional 2D content and holographic
3D content such as games it will support hydrogen 4 view content a file type that
red has produced um and content will be
stored via that content will be stored via the red Channel which allows uh
users to stream holographic games and movies that is nuts red is saying that
it may struggle to fill orders very
unsurprisingly due to the display production limitations of making like
this holographic display and stuff that can support hydrogen 4 view content
they're not telling us almost anything about specs n we can
assume that the camera will be pretty cool yeah if you look at the picture
which you should be able to get uh by jumping in there I had it open here the
camera is fairly prominently displayed up at the top there yeah and it doesn't
look like as oh actually does look reasonably thin I like the grip on the
side if you compare to the size of the yes I like the grip on the side too if
you compare to the size of the headphone jacket doesn't look that thick no
there's some type of docking port style
thing on the bottom near where the type C is um there's a huge red logo on what
looks like their that's their limo connector yeah okay so this right here
is looks like it's to attach it so that um so they're not telling us a lot about
specs like in terms of processor could could it act as a display for your
camera then yes okay they're advertising that you can use it as a display for a
red camera okay so um that's assuming you want to spend the $200 for the cable
and the $200 for the bracket that sits on that uh that dock Yes red there you
go um and the one for your camera so $600 $600 $200 each for those parts I
actually have another you heard it here first folks I have
another holy [ __ ] episode coming featuring an overpriced red
product dude if you just you could get infinite holy [ __ ] videos just buy every
single thing that red has oh yeah I mean I don't even know if this phone's going to be a review I bought one by the way
uh so I bought one not because I plan to keep it I plan to flip it oh yeah um but
I bought one so that we can do a video on it cuz uh go back real quick red
doesn't sample for Jack one thing I wanted to point out is like the the
phone's on kind of a weird angle and stuff but you can kind of figure out how big that red Digital Cinema hydrogen
logo thing is and that looks like a relatively similar size to the camera
that's up at the top so that camera is huge it's also a little hard to tell
from the perspective but this looks lower profile than this heat SN look
raised which looks below that which also still has a camera bump so that camera
might be like dope AF pretty massive which is cool actually that's really
cool cuz as of right now I play one game on my phone I use it for messaging
services mainly email and I take photos
that's pretty much it all
right um blah blah blah some boring
legal battle some other thing some other thing and I think that's pretty much it
for the W show hoay so thank you guys very much for tuning in and if you were
wondering if you're not already signed up for FL FL what's on Floatplane right
now yeah we're going to go through it yes very
good dying so on Floatplane now is the
mezzanine non update the office is in shambles that was actually kind of
interesting the permits have stalled construction is not moving forward at
the rate that we would have liked right now and everything around here is in
such horrendous
condition that it is killing me um it's a little bit of a behind the scenes look
at what it's like to work basically in a
construction zone yep trying to film professional videos you know the F thing
is with like while increasing production quality the the feedback on our videos
lately has been great speaking of which where is that
one video that I like a lot there it is okay so this video turning uh turning
scrap Electronics into gold bars is like
worth signing up for float plan Club over it's freaking amazing it's it's one
of my favorite videos of any kind from
any creator that I've watched in a while and I had no idea that it was coming and
I'm not just saying that like if if you wait till it comes on YouTube that's
fine watch it it's an amazing video but I would suggest checking out on Flo
plane it'll look better anyways and sound better so there's that yeah but
it's it's an amazing video it doesn't feel um necessarily 100% like a lot of
the content that we make yep it's much more like deep dive into something
really interesting and informative it's it's very professional piece I think
it's super cool there are no dick jokes no um which is like we also reviewed
what is hands down the best value gaming notebook we've ever checked out uh so
this is the predator 300 um we've got our review of EK water
blocks' aluminum gaming products I
gaming products water cooling products but of course you can water cool a
gaming machine uh Tech quickies phone tethering as fast as possible and why
does your internet connection randomly stop
working this is a banging video oh
yeah the intro to this is fantastic um the ultimate DIY arcade
machine guide so that's the arcade machine that is behind us right now you
should blow it up and play it um just
little I I want to tease them all right uh we checked out the main gear Omen X
like the most amazing looking gaming machine we have ever reviewed yeah this
thing is unbelievable like just
attention to detail you give main gear like basically on a limited budget and
tell them to water cool things with Hardline and it'll look amazing yeah I know right um we've got our ASUS zephrus
review is up so that's the thinnest GTX
1080 gaming laptop uh mezine update 8 the fire
department intervenes oh boy H yeah
straight up not clickbait and then uh dead Mouse's Studio Tour actually just
went up on YouTube so that's uh so that's everything that's up on float
plane right now but not yet up on
YouTube you know we've actually um even after scrapyard Wars interest in float
plane like people seem to be feeling like it's a pretty good value um yeah
we've lost some subs which we knew cuz scrapyard Wars hype but we are actually
gaining new ones at the same rate that we're bleeding them already which is
pretty cool which is actually really cool um so I'm just going to post that
in twitch chat where you guys can go sign up if you want to and that's pretty
much it um are you out of here right now or did you want to do a short uh float
plane progress stream I can do that yeah yeah sure why don't we do a short one
okay so uh intro blah BL blah oh whoops
there we go I'm recovered
now yes what do you need for me thumbnail uh where you want to shoot
it okay go ahead and fire it up we're going to do an Afterparty stream but
just a short one
um yeah and I'll just run over there I'll take the thumbnail with you and
then I'll come back
