uh technical difficulties over the last few weeks um as you guys have probably
noticed from week to week over the last well probably six to eight weeks we've
been very yeah we've been very
much closer to three actually but that's fair you know uh we've been very much
under construction for the last little while the W show has actually been
physically moving around from week to
week quite frequently this is incredible
twitch has now implemented a feature
where the ad that plays before the
stream cannot be paused or muted that is
fantastic thank you twitch for that wow
anyway thanks for like basically making everyone install ad
block yeah anyway moving on so we've
been very much under construction and you'll probably notice a huge difference
between the way we have it set up this week and the way we had it set up last
week hopefully you guys like it and if you don't the people in the pre-show
know what I think of that because I personally think it looks great uh
there's still a few things that we're going to tweak like the positions of things on the shelves and like I want to
get an actual shock mount for this microphone instead of just having it
sitting on a folded up shirt can it just be like a little coil that shocks people
whenever they try to move it no no because if we're going to take it really
literally shock mount could have a some
pretty scary sorts of meanings there uh anyway we've got a great show for you
guys today uh Pebble inro yeah oh there's two different definitions of
shock that are both that both work well that was a multi multi-level dirty sort
of toilet humor joke I think I actually thought of the second one I mean are sex
jokes really toilet humor unless you have sex on a toilet then is not
recommended but possible but possible it's like no really I got pregnant from
the toilet seat also there was like another
there so what is this show about Pebble
toilet seats has introduced their first round Smartwatch what an innovation we
should just actually host a w show only about toilet seats no we shouldn't Pat
Volkswagen oh speaking of things that are in the toilet Volkswagen stock uh
they've been ordered to recall 500,000 cars that's the initial news that broke
uh but it's going deeper than that so we're going to be discussing that on the
show today Apple to release the D Jack
um which I think I have that patented is
almost as almost
as almost as dirty as it sounds and
North America is straight up out of ipv4
addresses for real this time so uh stay
tuned guys it's going to be a great show
you guys see how smooth that was it worked that's what happens when I
actually set aside like an hour before the show to set up and then we
start start like 40 minutes late formatted the system no we still need to
format the system but everything else about it is set up this system is so
freaking bored like oh here you know what no no no no I'm going to show show
them the thing yeah yeah no no I'll okay okay so guys guys this this is going to
be good hold on let me just make sure there's no like you know nothing that I
can be sued for on screen here you guys are going to love this though okay so
add screen capture for you let's do the
whole screen here all right here we go here we go buddies this is some good stuff right
here so so check check this out just awesome what is what is
that what even is that and where did they go where are they and then they're
going to come back at some point and there's like this one missing yeah and
like what is this this is nothing it's
nothing it's just it's just nothing and
uh that's just that's just one of the many completely broke dick things oh
yeah about this Windows installed and that's just like weird there's ones that
are really bad well the thing is is I think when you get enough blue screens
on a system something just starts bit rot whatever yeah things happen things
things things just Decay and this is one
decayed it's not bit rot well Decay okay
well okay whatever this is a broken
Windows install it takes forever to boot up on an SSD and it actually has like
nothing installed on it like webcam drivers uh video chat when you blue
screen like two times every single time you run the computer yeah then you're
basically asking asking for trouble but but no no the the stream's not going to
blue screen because uh we are running off you sted on the blue screen I know
because it's so scary I wasn't sure if I should say it or not do we have wood is
this even real wood I don't know it's MDF it's worth it knock on
MDF um so because the black magic cards
that cause the stream to blue screen are both working now I did Luke's bringing
his wood over his massive
wood all right so we're good we're good
um people are like bet the RAM is bad no it has nothing to do with bad RAM it has
to do with the drivers for our black magic capture cards not liking anything
uh well no more specifically not liking themselves and their
life um so should we should we like do a
show I guess I guess I guess we should do a show all right so our first topic
is uh oh this is interesting hold on wait yes I need the other Mouse though I
got this lineus screen boom yay things are working today it's
not going to be that day uh so a new
face for Pebble it started with a text
seven years ago something something etc etc all right let's just uh let's just
pop this baby up okay whatever show us the watch man okay so we had Square watches before
look at that it's amazing it's actually kind of rounded so I don't know how uh I
don't know if it's really strictly speaking square but this is it the
pebble time round oh it keeps going back to he looks like me but with fuzzy
hair you know you actually have like
okay I don't want you to take this the wrong way you're going to say You're really generic face
cuz everyone sends me Twitter things you look like this dude and I'm
like a lot of the time I I can kind of
see it I know you have like kind of that
I never thought that until I got this job and then everyone just tells me that
I look like everyone yeah yeah like I can kind of see it you're like well
you're kind of the blue-eyed blond haired like guy with kind of the rugged
sort of face I don't want to okay well no I'll say ruggedly handsome face okay
okay with the rugged face usually looks like someone just drove a
truck over your face yeah it's like you know man it's rugged your face looks
like it could go through a war yeah your face looks like it could be a
tire um probably like IP67 so there we go this is the pebble
time round basically it's got the same processing on board as the steel it is
hyper hyper thin it is round and they
have an SDK out for app Developers to allow them to convert their
applications to the round face which is
which is the only real difference cuz they haven't changed a bunch of the other Hardware what they did do is they
nerfed the battery life pretty hardcore
uh what's up why what do you mean why I
didn't know that that sucks because it's thin now I don't
care I was talking to someone the other day this is probably a bad idea because
I'm talking to people I'm going to well yes but I'm going to say an idea that I
want to have for a video oh okay but I don't know if you'd let me do it anyways
but I want to do um a review of modern phones and during the review I want the
phone that's in my hand to constantly change the whole time and I want it to
be like it has a great screen it'll run all the apps you want just fine it run
all your games just fine uh it's nice and thin the buttons are really good the
headphone jack works really well the speakers are kind of met and it's going
to be way too easy to block them and they're not in the right spot transfer speeds at USB 2 over wire um like all
this kind of stuff and then but the batter's [ __ ] thanks for watching have a good
time I want to do that video so bad because honestly it's pretty accurate
for like everything I think we could do that but you know what the thing about
the round is that you can get another day of battery life oh yeah oh yeah it's
so thin that I don't care anymore and that happened a long time ago and it
could be thicker but it kind of did yeah it kind of did um there's some good news
though you can get days worth of battery in 15
minutes however my issue with Pebble
continues to be that they use a proprietary charger so the the problem
is not how long it takes to charge the problem is that I have to actually be
where my charging cable is which for me is on my nightstand so if I'm traveling
or whatever the fact that I can charge it up for a day worth of battery and 15
minutes uh except that I don't have my cable is actually not that not that
helpful and the fact that they keep changing the cable all the time um like
every generation they just change the cable need to learn from uh who is it
who does it really PlayStation I think it's PlayStation's cable has like never
changed yeah but the compatibility is broken oh yeah that's worse I actually
didn't know that so when it comes to like seven deadly sins okay when we talk
when we talk about when we talk about cables because this is something people talked about a lot with Intel lga775
so this was a time when AMD was changing their CPU socket it seemed like every
year okay so we had socket a okay 462
then we got socket 940 on the Enthusiast
platform for FX which was essentially the server socket but like there was
like two CPUs and someone's going to correct me I don't care uh the point I
think we got the FX 51 and 53 and maybe 55 for that socket but it's it's it's
not the point so then we got soet at 754
at the same time that was like single Channel memory and the consumer version
and then both of those went away on the consumer except 940 was still there on
the server and then we got 939 on the desktop and then we went from 939 to I
want to say A2 and then we got am2 plus
and am3 so AMD has done this weird like
like Anyway this was back in the in the 939 to am 2 days and everyone was
criticizing AMD going they keep changing their CPU socket I have no upgrade path
Intel's had lga775 for like 5 years or
however long they had it the problem is that the intercompatibility from one 775
board to another 775 chip across Generations was terrible like it was
awful it changed as often or more as
AMD's socket did at least with AMD it was clear you buy a 939 chip you put in
a 939 socket it works with Intel you buy a 775 chip you plug it in and you cross
your fingers and your toes and you pray to whatever day it is you believe in and
maybe it'll turn on and a lot of the time the compatibility is more
complicated than that cuz maybe even if it doesn't turn on you can like I don't
know find a buddy who has a last gen chip and put that in and Flash the BIOS
and then maybe the new chip will work but maybe like not quite as optimally come on so that was my favorite part was
hunting for someone who had the right chip so you could do a bio something
just horrible so anyway that still a
complaint however one thing I will say about this super slim design that that I
do think has a value is my wife looked
at it immediately said oh that's way
better so I have been critical but how
long does it they hit a very good thinness with that I will agree but how
long does it last I think it's like two to three days or something like that okay so that's not too bad yeah so it's
still not a one day battery um give me
just a like I I am I am forgetting how long it's yeah there you go two B two
day battery life so it's still better than what you're going to get out of an
Apple Watch and I've been really critical of other Smartwatch makers
pretty much everyone but Apple for not making like a properly functional
Smartwatch cuz there have been devices you say everyone but Apple yeah I think
the Apple watch looks great on a on a lady's wrist oh I heard something else
no you're good yeah um where was I going with this right so
I've been really critical of everyone but Apple for not making a properly
functional Smartwatch that's actually not going to look weird on my wife um so
now that pebble's doing it I can't rip into them for reducing the battery
capacity because you have to make trade-offs and I know there have existed
smart watches and wearable devices that are like fashion accessories but the
functionality on them is so bad it's
like it's like you know there's it all
comes down to what sort of margin a company is used to making okay so when
uh you know when a computer company comes out with a a new like a new uh you
know smart accessory and it's priced at X you're going to have like you
know let's say why amount of functionality built into it because
they're reserving this much for them to just make money yeah and you need to pay
other people like Distributors and the guy that actually sells it to you when a
shoe company comes in and makes a smart
accessory their expectation for how much is left over at the end is much higher
so you get like this crummy functionality with a rubbish screen
sorry oh where' the overlay go that's
weird what the watermark PNG has
disappeared that's fine I can I can live
I can I can work with that um so they're
going to have a certain expectation for how much margin that they're making and
that is exactly the problem is that these companies are going to think that
they should be making you know 200% a watch clothing rates yeah
clothing clothing jewelry fashion brands
um are pretty much up their own butts in terms of what they think that their
vision is worth um and they can they tend to kind of ignore the the Practical
stuff yeah so like perfume and cologne
and all that kind like a lot of things in those categories are like that I
think he just said uh clothing fashion and jewelry because those are the
companies that are kind of getting into SmartWatches now yes exactly uh so I
don't know where our normal lower third is since we haven't changed it in
forever I cannot find it no why is my
life sad I really need to reformat this
computer don't let me run the show next week until this computer is formatted
because run the show then
hey that's not a nice thing to say all right Fade Away there we go and then I
think there's like I don't even know where the upper right corner thing is
like what what where is that does anyone does anyone know I don't think anyone
knows may just called Watermark why don't you just use the search was it in
Watermark I don't know was there one called
Watermark General assets when Watermark
top left.png yay hey look at that that's not a
technical difficulty is it is that a strike I think so do we have a three
strikes rule no can we have a six strikes rule
15 we need a lot of strikes here yeah all right three is not going to cut it
six six may be okay six sounds about good all right so anyway that uh that
watch is aiming to ship somewhere in the time frame of November 10th and honestly
I'm considering buying one I'll pick one up for the white because she works in a
pharmacy and in the pharmacy they have like a no phones rule but would
certainly be nice to to
be you're just circumventing outdated policies yes so it would be nice to and
it like it's funny because like around here we're a very techsavvy employer at
Linus Media Group like if people are on their phones at work I'm not giving them
a hard time about it because I understand that your phone is like
pretty much your life unless their job function really has nothing to do with
their phone and they're on it a lot because I consider things like tweeting
while you're at the office about the things that we're doing I consider that
sort of work so but but in a pharmacy I
also understand this you can't really call it an outdated policy I can't think
of any reason why a technician is counting pills outdated because it
didn't include smartw watches oh I see what you mean ah other form of outd
right so so anyway the point is if there's an emergency with the kids or
whatever it's nice to be able to get through to her even if she can't message
me back I don't expect her to use things like you know voice response
functionality because she's also the manager so the the harder she tries to
circumvent the rules the more terrible that looks but it's nice to be able to
you know just be like hey this or whatever hey can you pick up something
she works at Costco so like there's usually something I want her to buy I
just ate two bags of those awesome dried mangoes please get me two more bags
actually make it three it's a
Friday it's this Friday make it five
yeah yeah oh it's been a rough day do you want to just do that nope okay
apparently not you're putting it off apparently for now because something's
not working great so yeah it's like the the
most minor of all the things and it's the one it's not working but it kind of
needs to be set up for everything to go smoothly right everything will go
without it but not smoothly so this has been huge news over the last week uh VW
was basically found to be cheating on
their us emission standards tests the cars were detecting if they were being
tested and they were reducing their output by as much as 40 times or they
were outputting 140th uh during testing
and then they were ramping it up 40 times on the road this is on their
diesel cars and not all of them but it was ones with their four-cylinder diesel
engine and so basically what this means is the car performed better for owners
yeah which it depends how you define
performed better right it felt peier
when you pressed the gas pedal yes yeah um but but they were turning off their
Emissions Control Systems in order to achieve
this so uh their shares have dropped oh
this is this is like being updated in like real time their shares have dropped
approximately 35% so if you believe that Volkswagen is
going to pull out of this um okay with all the usual disclaimers I don't know
anyone who works at Volkswagen lonus Media Group has never collaborated with
Volkswagen um I do not own any shares in Volkswagen I don't own any shares in
anything so take this as the in what
oh well in this company no no like publicly traded publicly traded shares
like ownes on a stock market I don't own any shares of any publicly traded
companies okay so take this for the ignorance that it
is if you believe that Volkswagen will recover now might be a nice time to buy
because that strategy has worked for many people in the past however the
difference between bad news about a product and bad news about the potential
18 billion fine that Volkswagen could be
paying in the us alone so we're talking
$37,500 per affected vehicle of which
there are 500,000 Which is higher than the value than a whole bunch of those
that were recalled um so so so so so factor that
in now the the bad news gets worse uh
Volkswagen is being investigated in
other territories as well and Canada
being Canada will probably just do the exact same thing that the states did and
it's not just Volkswagen either so this
is great uh the BMW x3x Drive 20D
exceeds European standards by a shocking 11 times the only reason that 11 times
doesn't sound that bad in this context is that Volkswagen was exceeding the US
standards by 40 times so yeah BMW has
issued a denial of any manipulation saying there's no difference in the
treatment of exhaust emissions whether they are on test rollers or on the road
although VW has admitted it their CEO
has stepped down and uh they are in for
some serious hot water apparently
there's two water marks now uh oh oh oh
that's kind of interesting uh I don't know which is
which oh wow there's two lower thirs
what is happening I don't know I hate this pick
the prettier one okay I this is not a
second strike this is the same
issue they just like disappeared for a little while I don't know what's
happening but it's fine now shut up all
of you what especially
you anyway BMW's X5
was looked at by the West Virginia University and EPA as part of
Investigations into the issue it passed
it's important to note that almost every car has higher real world emissions than
their laboratory results that's I mean there are so many things that are like
that let's talk about you know Wi-Fi speeds hey oh real world nothing to do
with lab results do they advertise the
uh you know perfect world no overhead
test results yes should they be allowed to probably not but is that the world we
live in yes yeah um that happens for
tons of stuff so the UK government has stated that today they will be launching
their own vehicle emissions testing following the US's
findings oh so this is very much an emerging story we might even be talking
about this again next week but I think what's safe to say at this point in time
is that there is one vehicle maker who
has nothing to worry about Tesla the the safest way to not exceed
your rated emissions is to have no emissions whatsoever didn't they release
an ad like trolling them or something is that in here I think they did I don't
know if this is actually about that um but yeah there's a Tesla no emissions ad
that it's like the best way to pass an emissions test is to or this whole this
whole car is an emissions test destroying machine or something I don't
remember exactly what it is yeah I don't know if this is actually from Tesla or
anything this just looks that's yeah no that's yeah so there there you go so
zero emissions uh means they could not possibly get into any kind of hot water
here so there you go guys um if you have
an affected car there's a forced recall in the US but stay tuned because things
are going to get really interesting worldwide over the next I mean this
could take months this this could take easily months potentially years to
finally be resolved so if we're going to weigh in on stock things my opinion be
to not necessarily do it now wait till they get hit by a few more
countries yeah but then people might go like oh I should buy now because it's
really low and then it's going to go up and then it might not fall as far as it went up people might be might be trying
to hold for the long term like yeah we don't know we don't play stocks so
literally not at all and I will say that I straight up
don't do it because I don't know what I'm doing yep me
too all right Apple to Rel release the d
uh the original article here is Apple Insider salty and creamy at the same
time what the hell that leaves nothing
to the imagination uh yeah it does Marmite was salty and creamy that's true
that was awful that was really bad Marmite is terrible it's really gross
all of our Australian viewers what you're supposed to do is spread it very
thinly over toast what is the point and we like lathered it well it's kind of
like if you took by the way people have been complaining about this you sit back
like this when you're going to talk for a while and then I can't hear it okay my
bet when if you took like a massive amount of wow yeah nothing's really that
bad uh butter if you took so much butter that it was that thick and put it on top
of a pizza it's like well yeah but no one would ever put butter on pizza but
no one would ever put marmaid on pizza but some people claim that they would
who Dennis was saying he thinks it would be good with Dennis is so weird I know I
don't think Dennis is fair in this conversation this is the guy that literally like spits out a banana when
he tries to take a bite of a chocolate covered insect that really is not that
bad wasn't that bad did you eat one no I have way in the past oh okay yeah little
kid party when I was a little kid like it grossed me out because I kind of have
a bug phobia so when I crunched into it it was like like it made my whole body
go like no I can't CR in chocolate yeah
but but like the taste wasn't that bad no and then Marmite I'm sitting here
like I folded up my pizza cuz I was trying to get over as fast as possible and then when I bit into it it all
squished out onto my tongue at the same time so that was the wrong idea I
screwed up um and I'm like basically hurling in the corner meanwhile Dennis
is like this is great I I even had to
ask him I was like would you put Marmite on it just normally and just eat it and he's
like no maybe less yeah less yeah he was
like oh well not this much you're me here man uh Marmite yay or nay where
were we going with this I don't know we were talk oh we were talking about uh
creamy salty things creamy salty things right okay so I want to no I want to I
want to I want to throw this to you guys first so we got a straw pull we got a
straw pull going here Marmite yay or nay and we should give some context for that
we had to have pizza with Marmite For an upcoming Channel Super Fun so and and
dragon's Fury hot sauce yeah that was interesting too I what I'll say about
this upcoming Channel Super Fun is that I literally had to lie down for 10
minutes about an hour after we filmed it to just let my stomach get its crap
together so to speak I felt really gross i h oh
wow oh no I felt really gross and
honestly I think it was more because of the Marmite yeah it was it was it was a
terrible experience so let's talk about Apple's new connector now this is funny
cuz I am pretty sure that we have straight up talked about this on the
show before how like there's going to be a limit to how thin Apple can go because
you still need a headphone jack no no
this is their new patented plug design
uh that uh that that has a a d like
profile so basically you're going to take your djack you're going to plug it
into your phone receptacle and uh in in
theory there should be no issues with adapting
the the d-shaped cavity jack to a regular round pair of
headphones or adapting your round pair of headphones to a d-shaped jack but I
really have to kind of like remember that rumor that Apple was going to
convert their phones to use the lightning connector for audio yes um
that hasn't happened but this almost
feels even stupider because you're basically just
forcing people to throw for the sake of
Elegance you're forcing a lot of people
to use adapters and I know there's going to be the millions of people out there
buying Beats and plugging their beats into this with their stupid proprietary
closed ecosystem ridiculous thing but um
at the same time it really is pretty annoying would you prefer have the
lightning connector be taken over anytime you wanted to use headphones or
would you you prefer being able to plug two things in and have one of them be a
weird proprietor you know what nothing use a 3 and half millim Jack don't make
your phone thinner yes yeah your phone is th make your phone thicker enough put
more battery please I mean it's one of
those things this is this is what drives me crazy the camera bumps just going to
be bigger yeah yeah the thinner you go the bigger your camera bump so this is
what drives me crazy this is what it
takes okay for an Android phone to
deliver the experience that I want which
is me using it pretty much as much as I want for an entire day and the problem
with Android is that its idle power uh
management is really bad so poor you take an Android phone with an app load
out okay it doesn't count to just take it out of the box and put it down and go
haha see it only lost 7% battery today
not good enough take an Android phone that actually has apps on it one that
you actually use yeah put it aside for like a day and it'll have lost 20 to 30%
battery which is terrible my iPad or my
iPhone loses like 2% per day I can sit
my iPad can sit for two weeks without me touching it and still have like 40% on
the batteries it's actually usable by the time I get back to it so I want
Apple's battery life management but I
also want a legitimately High Capac capacity battery because that's the
problem with the iPhone if you know heaven forbid you dare to use it to
navigate somewhere it's just instantly
dead like I can drain an iPhone in like
you know 5 hours 6 hours if I'm using it
really heavily like if I'm navigating somewhere and I'm talking to somebody on
speaker and like like you can hit it pretty hard you can drain it pretty fast
whereas the Droid Turbo because it actually has a massive battery it's not
just you know power saving tricks and
and and and little like voodoo magic that's going on it actually can be used
for a significant portion of the day so I would love for Apple to do like an
iPhone 6 endurance or seven endurance or
or whatever it takes and I know you could say that the 6 Plus or the 6s plus
is kind of the endurance model but I don't want a fablet
and I especially don't want a fablet that's extremely difficult to hold on to
the way that the iPhone 6 Plus is so
anyway this it's not out yet this is just a patent that they're applying for
for a headphone jack called the djck um
yeah djck it's like what is Elon Musk running Apple now like really um I'd
prefer it that way it looks like the D
Jack might fit in other phones so it could be yeah like when you look at the
shape it looks like it could work oh um
interesting so maybe maybe it's okay but
uh I don't know like's but you're basically you're going to be buying new
headphones and the thing about headphones is I really believe in
investing in a great pair of headphones and then using them for a long time
because frankly audio
technology it's improving I usually swap them out when they like break yeah and
that's fine because the HD 600s are
still great yep and you could buy 650s
or 700s but the 600s are still great um and
with imem I would say this is maybe less true like over the last 5 years I don't
think there's been a ton of innovation but in the last 20 there's been a lot
um but uh and a lot of innovation there is
like not even necessarily Innovation but things inline controls ribbon cables
nicer nicer fitting things to go on your ears Wireless for example oh speaking of
Wireless um I've actually got I might actually oh I never really told jbird
that I was thinking of this because I wasn't at the time but this could work
they offered to send me the x2s cuz um I don't know if you remember this but I I
reviewed the blue buds X loved them I know someone who bought them and then they broke like right out of their
warranty period really yep mine are still going strong that's a bummer yeah
anyway okay well well at any rate I got slammed for that
I was like I don't even know what these are cuz I never yeah don't worry so they
reached out about sending over the x2s for review and I was like ah we're like
we we don't do that much audio stuff these days like lineus Tech tips is
transitioning into more like like a show
and there are reviews but we're kind of saving it for for Marquee products oh
okay well I mean you guys have probably noticed things like moving Vlog no we're
the most hard board tech review site on the planet yeah we only do Motherboard
BIOS don't review anything else Motherboard BIOS yeah yeah yeah okay I
haven't fired you in a long time that's true but I think that kind of merits it
you can't when we're the most hardcore tech review channel on the internet you
can't find me
wow so anyway I wasn't sure if I was
going to do a review so I basically said well you can send them if you want no
guarantees and they're like yeah we'll take that we'll roll that die and then I
also this was a product that I backed a billion years ago when I was kind of
getting into doing imem videos and uh
and it's the dash do you remember the dash no okay so this is a battery
powered inar right yeah yeah and it's supposed to have like not necessarily
great battery life but it's supposed to be like super small so I backed that on
like Kickstarter or Indiegogo or whatever ages ago so I could do a head
to head cool so maybe I'll do that that should be pretty cool so I can take the
original blue Bud X I can take the x2s and I can take the dash and I can play
some badminton and it'll be an excuse to bring a camera crew out and get like
some wicked cool like slow-mo footage of me playing badminton so I like I like go
for that I go for that shot and like the sweat drips off my my forehead can we
get like the stupid Glamour Shots oh I think we should yeah hey Brandon would
that be fun do you want to come and like hang with me and get some like action
footage like slow-mo action footage me playing badminton like testing wireless
earbuds well I don't know whenever okay Brandon's down Brandon's
down so we're totally doing it um what are we talking about are you ready to do
your thing uh no are you ever going to be ready to do your thing yes not on the
show today though
probably probably I I just gave you like every possible conditional answer but
they were actually accurate not ready right now I will be ready at some point
probably on this show so our relationship is complicated as your
friend I could slap you yep as your Tech
employer I can't slap you so wait as your lover I shouldn't slap you but
maybe but could if you were into it yeah
um so I'm just so I'm slapping myself oh wow say if you wait 4 minutes we won't
technically be on work time but we're still on work premises yes so and and I
mean we could do stuff anywhere that's true so I gota speaking of which I got
to get blinds for my
office justes make lunchtime that much better I am finally moving into my
office I have set up the mineral oil computer much to Luke's sadness that was
this really depressing that was the saddest acknowledgement of anything
ever cuz he straight up ass he was like
can I have the oil PC for my workstation
like right when we built it yeah and then also when we moved in here and
probably a few times in between there and so my initial response was maybe
we'll use it as like a set piece or something cuz it's super cool looking
and then it just sat on the oven in the kitchen Gathering dust and dust sits in
the oil and then it can cycle into the system oh for literally months for
literally months and then finally he moved in and he asked me again and I was
like no I'm using it it and his world
was crushed and I could tell and it was
good no it wasn't it wasn't good cuz
there there were there I don't know it's
it's one of those things where it's like the CEO's office I think should have
like the show piece technically if we want to go with like new age companies
the CEO should probably be on the floor with the other employees because it
creates a better more healthy work environment see what you're doing hiding
yourself in the top Corner giving yourself a private office is more
archaic old forms of running companies
not really efficient for today's uh management structures okay which are
actually more flat than your vertical structure about putting yourself on the
top and maybe naming the company after yourself it's more of an Antiquated
system it's not really recommended for starting new companies but I guess you
know you could do that so this is the same guy that needs me to build him like
a fortress of solit upstairs because he finds having one person or because even
though we've been here for months the library isn't ready one person or that
one person in in the room with him is is too much I can't focus I need my own
room and I need active noise cancelling headphones didn't require my own room
wanted to do it in the public library needed noise cancelling headphones
Public Library is not ready the library actually is pretty much ready to go it
needs to be cleaned yeah been told to not work in there so it needs to be tid
up we're almost we're almost ready to go we're almost ready to go in there uh so
why don't we move on to an actual news topic here North America is out of ipv4
addresses and I know that you've been tied up on something else and you
haven't had a ton of time to uh to dock it up here so why don't I do The quick
summary and then you can talk a little bit about the implications of this so
there it is for really real this time um there's been an awful lot of crying wolf
on this subject over the years you know oh well we're out of the one that can be
assigned to the assignment Authority or we're out of the ones that can be
pre-allocated except in circumstances where we could allocate some more and no
no it is happening and it is time for
everyone to start switching to
IPv6 now we've actually talked about this on Techquickie before and the
complicated thing here is that ipv4 and
IPv6 so ipv4 is that up to 12-digit
number okay with periods every usually
three digits okay and IPv6 is like alpha
numeric and longer and while ipv4 can
have something along lines of I believe it's four billion addresses IPv6 can
literally have enough addresses for like 340 unilan yeah so it's something along
the lines of one followed by 36 zeros so I think that's something along the lines
of 2 IPv6 addresses for every Square in
of Earth or something like that like it's it's it's ludicrous okay someone's
telling me it's more than that so the the point is that we need to switch but
the problem is that if your website for
example uh Linus medag group.com is not
IPv6 then IPv6 clients can have trouble
and if your website is not backwards compatible with ipv4 then ipv4 clients
can have trouble accessing your IPv6 website they're not they don't talk to
each other very well and there are like
interposer methods but they suck yeah so
there's not honestly a ton that you're going to have to worry about if you're
watching this show I can basically guarantee you your router is able to
handle IPv6
um just going to kind of leave it at that and there's not really a ton else
you to do if again if you're watching this show it's basically a guarantee
that your computer is ready for this yes and that your network is ready for this
most smartphones are ready for this um the the issue is really on the on the
website server side and on the internet service provider side again most of
those are going to be fun and there are a few things that you're going to have
to learn like um you know if you're working on your Lan you're probably
using ipv4 addresses you know 192.168 or
1020 do whatever um so you're probably
going to want to switch to IPv6 addresses which means there's going to be a bit of a learning curve there I
haven't actually a lot more annoying to remember yes like which sucks way more
annoying to remember yep the good news is that if they have a lot of zeros in
them you can actually shorten them and you don't have to remember the zeros so
that will help a little bit I guess um
and and you don't have to deal with subnetting anymore so
okay although
255.255.255.0 is pretty not hard to which usually autop populates like every
time not that big deal like every time
yeah it does and unless you're doing more unless you're kind of like a
networking guy or gal you're really not working with anything more complicated
than that anyway but it's coming for networking people this might change
things up tell me this are we ready for IPv6
uh we might need to change a few things but it won't be a problem at all okay
well there you go our like websites and stuff are fine cool yeah like internally
if you want to start managing things as IPv6 you'll maybe need to change things
right but everything else is fine this is cool I just got confirmation I am
getting a review sample of the new Moto 360 yay it looks nice it does look
really nice at Austin yeah it's a 60-day unit so I'll have to send it back if I
even if I really like it I'll just have to buy one but uh you know it looks nice
I think Austin gets to keepy P yeah I'm I'm sure I'm sure he does um it looks
nice yeah I know it looks nice but it
might be too nice for me um I actually like the kind of sportswatch look of the
gatr so I I may not want to switch
anyway and I'm really going to have to uh I'm really going to have to look
closely at what significant difference
there really is from this Android Weare
device to another one because as far as I can tell no one has really done with
Android Weare what they've done with Android where they try to enhance the
experience For Better or For Worse um so to me it really seems like up till now
um oh up until now one Android we watch is
kind of an Android Weare watch and you know what I probably won't be doing it
until after I do the Apple watch again anyway because uh watch OS 2 just
dropped and I will be doing an iPhone 6s review so I'll be using those two
devices together in the
meantime Nick is Nick is giving me updates which is which is totally the
most professional thing for the onscreen talent to be doing in the middle of a
video podcast but I'm getting close to my thing doesn't the Show look great I
think it looks great I think you look great I think you look great I think we
both look great and check this out I had so many people whining about the uh the
plosives that I have installed a pop filter so the audio should actually be
better this week too now I did run around before the show and try to find
my ARM mount um so that we could have a
suspension mount for the microphone for now we're settling with a folded up
t-shirt under it but but that'll come that'll come eventually we are finally
in what I believe will be the W Show's forever home
this computer needs to be reformatted yeah but this equipment actually see we
even we even put a sticker on get a desk that's not as gross I kind of like it
cuz the background's kind of gross too oh but we can change it I kind of want
like screen has far too much real estate as well yeah okay yeah we can tweak
things my head gets chopped off by the logo that was always me you just your
head got chopped off my head was my head always had the logo on it really yeah
couch oh yeah I totally did that seems silly yeah I don't know well either way
we shouldn't probably have the screen taking up that more space Oh Why were
these rejected but it's all right reason too boring who who determines whether
news is boring or not that's pretty boring I'm doing that you know what
you're boring you're boring wow okay
sponsors linda.com a huge shout out to
linda.com for sponsoring the W show um
and you know what this actually is only semi- related to linda.com um but my
wife was talking to me because I actually brought this up on the W show it's something I talk to my wife about a
fair bit and that is limiting screen time for my kids okay um and she kind of
goes well hold on a second like my son actually he's three and he
is almost reading like he can actually
read fairly simple words that he's never seen before yes okay so at his pre-
preschool orientation the teacher said that she had a student once that knew
the entire alphabet so my son has known the entire
alphabet and all of the phonetic letters of the and and all the phonetic sounds
of the letters since he was two and that is a in huge part thanks to YouTube
YouTube is a great teaching tool and I
like to sleep in I was going to say like M mind games on the DS or um there's
tons of teaching math blaster going back to my childhood yeah so that's how this
ties into Linda anyway so I'm I'm getting there so she basically goes well
hold on a second so like you talk a lot about the importance of programming and
3D modeling skills in the new world and
I go yes and she goes well so what are you just going to stunt his growth and I
kind of go no one he's three and I really think
three-year-olds don't necessarily need to be working on those skills yet he
could start when he's four or five or six I think at the age he's at right now
he needs to learn other things like my my son doesn't have trouble sitting
still I don't need him to learn how to sit still it's actually like he's like
military trained he's it's really impressive if you're like you know
little man sit there do this for a bit
he goes he sits he does to then unlock him yeah so I I want him working on you
know going to stay in play which is a local program where you just go and like
run around and throw balls with other kids and and stuff like that those are
the skills that he needs to work on right now and and it's one of those
things where there is no hard and fast rule you have to tailor the approach
depending on the kid and I don't think he needs a ton of screen time right now
period but that doesn't mean that I
don't want him because he's going to he's going to hit kindergarten already
knowing probably up to multiplication and division like he's a smart kid and
so kindergarten is going to be a super duper waste of his time so when he comes
home I don't expect him to do his you know yellow plus blue equals green
homework that's stupid he's he knows that stuff already um I expect him to be
working on computer skills yeah and
honestly I have fallen behind I have spent the last 10 years of my life
working on product management and business and uh online content creation
and it's not like I don't have technology skills but Luke can attest to
this I am embarrassing when it comes to
any kind of programming like I can barely bold and unbold something yeah in
a text editor okay I can but barely um
like I'm can't claim much
either but yeah but you went to school for it at least like you know yeah but
like the games changed a bit and like a lot of what I went to school for where I
like wasn't working full-time with you and not really going to school as much
as I should have maybe been um was a
little bit more Antiquated stuff that no one's really using anymore so I do want
him working on that stuff and it's a great opportunity this is one of the
things that a lot of parents do is it's like this is my second crack at learning
this stuff with my kids cuz it'll keep us talking the same language
and it'll be an opportunity for me to bond with my kid which I have to do
anyway and pick up some new skills while I'm at it so this finally ties in to
linda.com a great resource for learning things online whether it's programming
or uh video editing skills or what's cool about this is say say you were
deciding to give your kid x amount of time to learn whatever he wants but he
has to learn something on the computer he could go on Linda and look up so much
stuff yep and go on his own pace and do whatever he could download them onto his
phone or whatever he wanted watch it or he could even do the like kitty boo
version you know kids first 3D modeling
program and if I'm trying to follow
along with him I'll have a deep enough understanding that I can help him with
these things as well like that's what I really want because I look at the
curriculum at least here in Canada anyway and it seems like we're really
falling behind you know there's nothing in the news about Canadian schools
looking at introducing programming um to young kids and and it and it feels like
this is the kind of thing that they did a good job with our generation I learned
how to use a spreadsheet and how to use you know office applications and how to
use a printer like skills that we take for granted now not because they
happened by Magic but because they freaking covered it we had access to the
equipment like my wife was like oh this school is getting a 3D printer seems
expensive I'm like well yeah how much do you think the computer lab cost it your
element school so much right because
sponsoring entire schools at that point I know and there's and and that is a
thing but that doesn't mean they didn't spend anything on it it doesn't mean they didn't spend the resources on
hiring or training the teachers to be to be covering this stuff and did they do a
perfect job no but it's better than nothing and at least you like Inspire
the kids and then they can go home or go somewhere else and learn from there cuz
like I know a lot of people that as long as they're introduced to a topic if they're truly that interested they can
go the rest of the way and they kind of have to yeah and that's how you're going
to get really good at anything so anyway linda.com is going to be my tool to keep
in touch I guess with with what my kids are up to it starts at only $25 a month
and you can get a 10-day free trial at linda.com when show you can learn all
kinds of great stuff and I guess that's that's pretty much all I have to say
about that that was the longest sponsor spot we've ever done what are you doing
the watermark is gone oh oh yes the watermark is gone during the spor SP
spots that's so weird cuz I didn't put it in so learn to deal our second
sponsor today is one that I sincerely
hope I get to experience with my kids
someday well not not both of
them well um I guess there are things
that girls can shave but like their legs
like their legs I but in the context of my children I really don't like I'm not
going it's a fatherson thing shaving the
face I got it it's nothing to do with daughters if they're going to shave
their legs they I don't they learn that on their own oh no they learn that kind
of crap with their girlfriends right I don't why why are you asking me I don't
know like I would ask the ladies in the audience to tell me like you know their
mom I don't know do mom and daughter get together and like shave their legs you
can show her how to shave like her Shin Shin wear shorts yeah I don't know man
um anyway way without getting into too
much I wouldn't be surprised if it's like hey mom my my dress is catching on
my shin hair I don't know dress my do you even
know any females oh no not really my dress is
catching on my shin hair not really no I don't let's move on can we update Harry
Potter's uh speech bubble
my probably we need like a Ron Weasley
it's not a dress it's a robe or like a Hermione we should we should get the
whole team and just speech bubble all of them and they can just mock me all the
time they're expensive really that was like 60
bucks yeah it was completely unreasonable it's just cardboard I know
it's probably a licensing thing though like probably $30 as it goes toing yeah
that's definitely the movie asset yes
thing like that's on a poster somewhere so anyway these are the worst sponsor
spots we've ever done but or the best whatever the point is Dollar Shave Club
I want to use Dollar Shave Club razors to shave with my son because they're
high quality they're affordable and they ship them directly to your door once a
month you know what Dollar Shave Club needs okay okay okay this is a
suggestion I hope Dollar Shave Club is watching this because they've got a lot
of great products they've got the razors they've got the After Shave they've got
the um they've got the shav butter uh and they've got the one wipe Charlies so
you can clean up the look of your face you can clean up the smell of your face
you can clean up both the look and smell of your butthole but what you can't what
you can't maintain with Dollar Shave Club and what I would argue is just as
important if not more so to have delivered monthly your armpits Dollar
Shave Club needs to add deodorant to their Arsenal because there should be no
no excuse for smelling bad and that's what Dollar Shave Club is all about you
don't have to leave the house to look like you're presentable enough to leave
the house they you know one wipe Charlies yes they need to make it like
one armpit D smeller Charlie that could
even work if you keep it in the car or something and then you're like crap I
forgot yes You' be like all right well this date isn't going to fail I got this
like a sponge bath Charlie or something like that anyway the point is
dollarshaveclub.com join the club if you always want to look presentable and
always shave with a fresh razor to so you can do a good job and all that all
that kind of stuff and it's affordable and they deliver it to your house and
stuff all right so we've got probably a fair bit more to talk about on the show
here today even though technically like it's quarter after 6 but we did start
pretty late not like I have anything to do this is a pretty big
deal it's okay keep going that's not really funny um oh just keep going
so I've had a lot of comments and or
I've seen a lot of comments about people calling acitech remember they were the
original lclc the lowcost liquid cooler
the best name before yeah I know before they partnered with everyone Under the
Sun uh you know Corsair and uh um and
zxt and like all these guys to co-brand their lclc product and I've had a lot of
people running around calling acitech a patent troll for protecting their
intellectual property in the US their idea their patent of putting a pump on a
CPU block this is not trolling so it has now
been upheld they got pretty roughly ripped off they did like a lot they did
and and it didn't happen right away but
now that it's happening they are pretty aggressively going after first it was
coolit and now it is Cooler Master and
they are seeking actually uh first it was uh first it was
coolit then it was swifttech and now it's Cooler Master or whatever the order
it happened in I don't care so they are seeking damages for people ripping off
their idea and their design and now it has been confirmed so not just once but
twice at isch has won their patent
infringement case against CMI a
subsidiary of Cooler Master so the first time around they were awarded a 14.5 %
royalty rate on every infringing Cooler Master product being sold CMI demanded a
judgment as a matter of Law and a new trial and they have now been awarded
enhanced damages of 25.3 75% per unit so
for all revenues on infringing products starting January 1st 2015 it is still
appealable by CMI but I really got to wonder if they're going to go back for
more at this point do I
like that this patent doesn't allow
anyone to put a pump on a block and this isn't the US to be clear like in Canada
these products are still for sale um do
I like that not really it does stifle
Innovation do I believe that there was a
ton of innovation to be done in the all-in-one liquid
cooler not really the performance hasn't
really changed dramatically in The Last 5 Years how big is your radiator if we
had a product that worked fine and was a
reasonable price and acitech was selling it and they were making their margin and
corser was rebranding it and they were making their margin and and we had an
ecosystem that kind of worked and it was you know the consumers were happy to pay
that price um does anyone benefit from
someone coming in and doing
something very similar
uh and infringing someone else's
patent I don't I I don't know that that is getting into some pretty uh that is
getting and like to be clear like there
is there is sort of there is similar and then there is very similar and I can't
find the link now unfortunately but uh I
saw an internal shot of uh one of cooler
Masters uh CPU block SL pump combo units
and Ace text and wow is the construction
really close because the reality of it is in software you can go closed Source
okay in uh chip design you can not
really show people you know how it all
how it's all working you can hide a lot of Special Sauce but physical products
patents are the only thing that protects it it's the only thing that prevents you
know someone from saying oh hey that's pretty cool I'll just make that exact
thing yeah yay now I have it and also it's cheaper because I didn't have to do
any R&D work I didn't have to lay the groundwork for the acceptance of this
product because that was a real thing I was around when the lclc first launched
I was one of the first people to order them and not order one personally but to
order them for stock I sat in the NC
warehouse for days and took bulk orders
of LCL LC's and and repackaged them into
boxes I had to like cut the packing material to size I had to I had to
baggie all the mounting screws cuz it was it was designed for oems and system
integrators and I I turned the lclc into
a retail product before anyone
else I was there and I know that the
beginning wasn't smooth it wasn't always as simple as hey we'll bring this
product to Market and a bajillion people will buy it asch invested in making this
a viable product category and Cooler Master didn't at
least not then and not certainly not to the same extent so I get it um but I
mean it does it does suck that you know
it's like competition is good and I'm not saying competition is ever bad I I'm
just saying there's another side to the coin and it does look like the court was
right in this case I do not consider acch to be a patent troll especially
because the technology that they're patenting is something that they're
actively selling and have as far as I've been able to tell been somewhat
reasonable about so it's not like you can't buy it they're not just it's not
like that [ __ ] that happened to Puget systems where some guy yeah wow
some guy patented something to do with
mineral oil submers submersion computers
and then basically prevented pet systems from being able to sell their kit right
around the time that we did our mineral oil build blog that was [ __ ] because
that company is not selling it it was not a viable business idea that they had
in the first place they went under and now they're just sitting around being a
patent troll as being a troll literally
one person like no one else was doing
this and it was a very small passion project thing they weren't really Mak
money money no like I like man the call
that I had with was so depressing he was
just like yeah so bad news we your last
video is going up that's cool that's great we actually cannot sell these
anymore so
yeah rip like you know this is something we've been working on for like eight
years or whatever just cuz we think done a really good job on it they're the
reason why I got into it I saw one of their really early systems possibly
their first one at PA way back in the day and was like what the hell is that I
even remember very specifically grabbing the display cable and tracing it with my
hand to like make sure that it was actually doing what I thought it was
because I didn't believe it at all and then talk to the dude for like a while
and then was totally super interested and then went did my own thing and like
yeah so I'm pretty buddies with them a million a million views on uh on YouTube
of your rig that you built based on that encounter yeah yeah 1.1 million there it
is so this is for those of you who haven't seen it oh no sorry no 1.1
million is our project yeah yeah um the
poor yeah of course that's going to be the uh that's going to be the one um so
no but still that's almost a million views and that's back in the day too so
this is Luke's rig that he built based on that cool encounter with uh P buy
like the same fish tank that they did I found it at freaking PetSmart near my
parents house like this was super cool
and like hella inspired by them I just couldn't pay the uh import duties over
the Border yeah it is expensive yeah so so like it's it's a lot of exactly what
they did to be completely honest um yeah
I so yeah it's it's lame for anyone who
whose name is Cooler Master yep um you
know but let's see yeah this is this is kind of scary it could impact the fury X
yeah uh because those are using in an infringing design with the pump and
block integrated so it's going to be an interesting little bit uh doesn't look
like ek's new design infringes on it
because it integrates the pump into the radiator which hurts case compatibility
so I can understand why not everyone does it but there you go all right next
up this is going to be cool for the uh for the film equipment Buffs Red's new
Raven camera will start at $6,000 and shoot 4K up to 120 frames per
second now I'm going to run through a few things here that are pretty to so it
uses the dragon sensor so this is by far
the lowest cost you've been able to get at a dragon sensor um it's available
with an EF Mount so you can use your Canon lenses cool it takes Mini Mags
which are their um their proprietary media very expensive which I guess is
leading into how things are starting for
things it has a nice lightweight construction it's it's relatively small
the uh it's got the same body as the weapon all the weapon modules work it
has built-in Wi-Fi it has a built-in microphone which is useful for audio
syncing if nothing else even if it's not going to be like a good quality one but
this uh this no Film School sub headline here is the gotcha here while the body
is $6,000 the way that red sells their
bodies and I'm going to see if I can find a picture of the body here and that yeah there it is the way that red sells
their bodies is with nothing on it this
has no display it has no
uh actual on camera buttons to control
it it has no um XLR audio input I kind
of love it like it's just so absurd it
love it nothing it is and for someone like Brandon who really loves doing
these really intricate configurations of things I'm sure he would love that yes
but there are certain things that should really be on the camera no I'm not
trying to get into his head buying a red don't about that yeah well I don't think
I don't think Brandon even wants one hey Brandon do you even want a
raven not our he says not for our stuff
cuz there's a lot there's a lot of there's a lot of issues like it's it's
cool that it can record um prores which is which is awesome but there's the fact
that you're locked into this proprietary media the fact that once you've bought into the red ecosystem you've got all
these accessories and like batteries and all this stuff that's just straight up
not useful for other things necessarily
um and it looks like it's going to cost you at least 10 grand to get started as
opposed to six grand and and realistically if you want to add some of
the modules that you're probably going to need um you're looking at closer to
$155,000 so it's it's not actually that
competitive with some of the newer cameras out from the likes of uh of Sony
for example red but it's red uh but it's
red and it's the cheapest we've seen from them yet for a flagship sensor like
that is an impressive sensor I think it's something like 15 and a half stops
of dynamic range I want to say and like sorry 16 thank you Brandon when your
when your storage device gets full you can ask if anyone has any spare
mags okay I know you don't know about camera stuff and that's fine but zip it
what no that's they're called Mini Mags I know I know I literally said an
accurate statement I know but you're just trolling me
yes I didn't even say anything wrong you're a dick so this is cool it does
1080p at up to 240 frames per second so
what I like about this camera is that at least this starts to put some heat on
the other guys to come up with a competitor for the fs700 we've had an
fs700 for almost three years now yeah and there is still literally nothing
else that is an obvious direct successor to that camera because there are other
ones like the a7r series that do really great low light um there's other there's
the oh man there's there's cameras with better on camera storage now that's a
big thing uh cfast is the new industry standard and is going to be way better
than the fs700 only has SD cards you have to have an external recorder to use
ssds um there's stuff like way more
stops of dynamic range and this is happening from Black Magic from Sony
from from a lot of different but the fs700 is is has been almost
unique in its ability to record 240 FPS
slow-mo now continuously with the third
party external recorder and just for a lot of the just the balance of features
that it has has been difficult to touch for a long time and uh it's it's finally
happening and I hope this continues to light fires under the butts of uh of the
other camera makers out there speaking of other camera makers black magic is
send us an Ursa mini and Brandon will be doing for the first time a camera review
so stay tuned for that because uh I know
he is pretty stoked on it he's I'm I believe he's going to do a great job I
believe in you Brandon um man there's a lot of stuff
that I would really like to do pretty quickly here um I don't know did you
send out a tweet I think around five I want to say around five oh uh why don't
we just do everything left as like rapid fire topics it's okay so here do you
want to do the first one here I've read nothing okay AMD preparing dual GPU
Radeon R9 Fury X2 world's fastest graphics card so uh original article
there sorry I have two mice in front of me so it's hard to remember which is which you know how I'm always kind of
salty about SLI or Crossfire on the show
yes you know how I recently started uh
sing 980s yeah did you know the day that
I hooked that up I had a huge drawn out
problem that was unfixable for 24 hours was it related to
SLI I hooked my 980s together just
before a stream started playing games and stuff and was like okay cool this
was my 24-hour charity stream started playing games everything worked fine I
was performing really well I was like great this is awesome everything's working maybe maybe I'm too salty about
this stuff I remember specifically thinking maybe I'm too hard on SLI and
it is better now and Crossfire not while you're streaming not really a
thing has a huge problem with it so tons
of games I couldn't properly play rip and the thing was I was doing a
24-hour charity stream I know total biscuit runs
s does he live stream while he's running SLI I don't know a lot of the guys that
maybe I was doing something wrong I know a lot of the guys seus I don't know if
he has lies okay interesting I was apparently people were talking
apparently I don't I don't know there's there's might be ways around it there might be I
don't know all I know was it was a problem for me and I couldn't change or fix those things because I couldn't stop
or restart the stream right I was doing a 24-hour charity stream so there might
have been some fix that I could have ran uh something I don't know and we've run
into some other dual GP related issues too um without giving away anything I
will say no I can't give away no no no no no
don't say anything don't say anything about it a lot of these guys are using
capture boxes that are then streaming right right so it wouldn't matter which
is an option yeah and then it wouldn't matter um okay well actually one thing I
can say about it though is an issue that I have particularly with AMD's
implementation of Crossfire is that you actually can't turn it off on a dual GPU
card you can't just you can't just turn it off there is a tool I forget what
it's called Catalyst Pro or radon Pro or something like that where I think you
can force it off but even that is not necessarily a perfect solution
uh Seagate has come out and said this actually happened a couple of weeks ago
but I I just liked it so much that I wanted to do it ssds will never match
the per Gigabyte costs of hard
drives okay well we'll see um so he's
saying something something dollar per Gigabyte in the upper to 20 to one and
something um hard drives match the performance of ssds no they won't but
that's not the point necessarily wow um so interest yeah so I guess there's not
really much else to say about that I just wanted to I just wanted to document
that that was said as thoroughly as possible because statement
yeah much
confident Oculus VR is getting Twitch streaming soon what Netflix
today uh and I believe this article is from yesterday so yesterday um so yeah
they're going to set up like check this out you're going to have like a cool
this is is actually Hulu but you're going to have like a cool little theater
you can sit in and it'll be like a virtual theater experience that is some
ba stuff right there so Oculus owners
have a lot to look forward to when they become Oculus owners yeah um 4chan was
sold to the creator of two channel
so uh in in in a series of events that
was completely unsurprising to everyone
uh forchan got attacked through like an imer exploit and like because the
forchan community like the thing happened DS all
the things yeah um so there you go uh
foran was apparently struggling to be profitable even though they tried a
subscription offering and minor advertising and all that kind of stuff so I get it uh Nintendo joins the Kronos
Group ads running right now somewhere on
our stream oh it's probably on one of the sites
that we're loading so let me kill them all it better not be twitch it is not
twitch I'm killing all the ads there we go all right Nintendo has joined Kronos
group as a contributor member so these are was like a pretty lwd ad actually oh
really yeah oh sorry some Team
America okay well let's move on um so
these are the guys that are maintaining open GL and Vulcan which valve has uh
gone all fighting words about and said direct X12 doesn't matter unless you're
like deeply into your direct X12 game development now you should just probably
never touch it and you should just go Vulcan because directx12 doesn't matter
and they have some very good points about uh directx12 being Windows 10
exclusive which was such a mistake I understand that they would have had to
do a bunch of work but like oh and I
understand that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for seven and eight owners but
like Vulcan is going to work uh across a
lot of different platforms not even just Windows so uh would you roll back would
I roll back to Windows 7 from 10 I need to not lean backwards
yeah would you roll back to Windows 7 and use Vulcan no because you can use Vulcan on
10 I know I know but would you rather use seven no okay no I I I actually like
10 I like the new start menu yeah new start menu is actually great I actually
really like the new start menu um so
anyway Nintendo joined which is cool I guess
uh blah blah blah blah blah blah uh this
is from wfx an Oregon couple trying to resolve a
$2 million Verizon cell phone bill
lol uh what else we got
um this is this is really funny the iPhone 6s put through its Paces in
geekbench uh the dual core 6s obliterates the Galaxy S6 Note 5 and
other top Android phones in performance testing apparently and we've even got
some folks running around saying how it's amazing how comparable it is to the
2015 MacBook actually what's amazing is
how the 2015 MacBook manages to run at literally half the performance that it
could if it wasn't thermal throttling all over the
place yes I mean it is still amazing but like the fact that the MacBook is
essentially a tablet in terms of the form factor like in terms of where they
actually stuffed the computer okay so so think about that for a second the fact
that Apple has been releasing tablets that perform you know somewhat better
than their phones for years now that are also tablets and also in that form
factor and the fact that the MacBook is performing literally half as well as
that Intel chip is capable of because it's not adequately cooled so no yes the
iPhone 6s does look like a whiz Banger
of a performer and a and a wicked phone upgrade a whiz Banger of a performer
whatever um but that the fact that it's
on par with the MacBook is not um the
fact that the Mac it has nothing to do with the iPhone 6s being amazing it has
to do with the MacBook kind of being a dog so just throwing that out there you
guys I have Doom Gloom news oh we're
ready is it oh kind of ready okay um all
right so should we do this on W show or should we do this as kind of a somber
Afterparty and tell people from the wow to stick around it's up to you okay
let's let's end the W show and we'll be back very shortly stick around
especially if you're a member of the lus tech tips
Forum a we were doing so well sh uh is
it even there
