WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.720
right guys welcome to the W show here do you want to scooch over where we debate

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:13.360
whether or not it's okay to say the word but hurt on the W show I personally

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:18.560
think it's okay because that okay hold on hold on hold on hold on because it

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:22.760
can't really be uh like okay H without

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:24.800
this getting too V hold on just cuz it's

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.519
not it's not a sexual preference thing everyone everyone has a butt and there's

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:33.320
plenty of okay there's plenty of stuff that can be

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:39.280
of sexual orientation it's not you know a female or male thing everyone has a

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.280
butt everyone's butt can

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.640
hurt yes okay ignoring the gender thing

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.760
entirely you could even take it from The Stance of like well what stance would

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.960
you take it from exactly usually a slight anyways um but

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.879
you could take it from like a fwell skateboarding yeah butt hurt your butt

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.920
would probably hurt as long like a you

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:05.400
know a rail or anything like that lots

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:09.360
of things could hurt yes well and like of course while falling while skateboarding anything else could hurt

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.200
but if you f while skateboarding on your butt your butt would probably hurt your

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.439
butt would probably hurt I also know people that have had tailbone injuries which usually reference that as a butt

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.439
injury right unless you were wearing a helmet on your butt yeah yes butt helmet

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.000
Kim Kardashian probably needs a butt helmet a butt I wouldn't think so I

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:29.400
would think it would be more she has like a built-in air

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.560
bag yeah didn't one of her sisters have her butt in implants leaking or

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.079
something like wasn't that I don't know they're gross I don't even find them attractive to be completely honest no my

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:42.759
my whole thing is this is I get all of my celebrity gossip from the from the

00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:46.640
magazine stand at the grocery store because I go to the grocery store

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:53.960
exactly often enough that I'm hearing about it within my tolerance for how

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.640
much I can hear about it and and I'm not

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:00.079
learning too much you don't like watch TV or anything really but I'll also be

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:03.680
aware of sort of what everyone else is talking about stuff so I find it's a

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:08.879
good balance for me right so this this week on The W show

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.560
NVIDIA did a bunch of things and people didn't like it um and so did Comcast no

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:18.519
one liked those either Comcast did lots of stuff people didn't like um the FCC

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.959
did stuff people liked and what else we got and there's uh Oculus technology

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.680
that can make it so you don't see advertisements in real Oculus technology

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.000
it has nothing to do with oculus and it isn't even it isn't even virtual reality

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.120
it does have stuff to do with oculus well it's augmented reality it uses an

00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:39.519
OC it has to do with Hollow lens it uses an Oculus you use an Oculus it is you

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.720
use an Oculus you can't we're trying to have a debate here and you're ignoring

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.720
the things I'm saying that are

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.440
true seriously look the guy's looking through an Ulus with a camera in the

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:55.200
front of it I could argue that someone looking through any kind of of optical

00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:01.440
viewing device is looking through an are mainly based off of the windshield yeah

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.440
it's a windshield Oculus

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:09.599
I hate this show doesn't even make any

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:12.480
sense our sponsors today our Square Face

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:18.480
they're going to have a Super Bowl Oculus and Loot Crate you might just be

00:03:15.799 --> 00:03:23.840
looking at your loot through an Oculus craze and finally I fix it need to fix

00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:30.080
your Oculus bam right there they've got the tools for you to get that job done

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.879
so thank you to our sponsors

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.720
let's move on with the show yes it is still Christmas yes we know the problem

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:42.280
is that Luke's Twitter handle isn't fixed on the non-christmas one and we

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:47.120
did promise as part of tip Starter by the way we still need to do the body paint one that's going to be hilarious

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.040
but one of our like a few yeah one of our tip starter commitments was to fix

00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:54.480
Luke's Twitter handle so if we undo it now then we're basically terrible people

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.159
toally screwed up okay so let's see we have done the well okay the Twitter

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.159
handle thing we released the Stormtrooper rap audio we did WOW as

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:08.840
girls we did LTT Under Fire we have not done body paint we still need to do

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.840
clown costume wow and body paint and we

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:16.440
need to get wingardium get the bleep back to work Luke so we need to get our

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.519
Harry Potter uh Daniel Radcliffe a

00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:22.000
standup cardboard guy to stand over your desk and we need a speech bubble as well

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:25.240
oh that's going to be awesome it's going to be kind of great I'll look to that

00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:31.759
for inspiration every time I find myself on imager all right so what I think we

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:35.600
need to do here is is basically just get

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.039
right into the big topic this week I

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.080
mean um there there was an absolute bomb so

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:48.919
the the the story kind of broke simultaneously on overclock.net and on

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:54.039
Reddit with people running a utility where they discovered that's usually how

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:56.280
Reddit works yeah yeah so so users of

00:04:54.039 --> 00:05:00.479
gtx970 graphics cards were running a utility that was showing them the memory

00:04:58.919 --> 00:05:05.440
uh the memory bandwidth they were getting from the board's vram sort of

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.320
block by block as they made their way through the entire capacity and what

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.320
people discovered is that the first three and 1 12 gigs of the four gigs of

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:19.039
advertised vram were running at full speed and that the last 500 Megs or so

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:26.199
we're actually running at a speed of about 17th the rest of the vram so initially

00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:30.680
NVIDIA was saying not a whole lot of much of anything and they were just kind

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.800
of going we'll get back to you on that

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.639
and then from there NVIDIA kind of

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:40.680
reached out to some key members of the press so the articles that I personally

00:05:37.479 --> 00:05:42.560
read were on a non-tech PC per as well

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:49.759
as tech report since I have a lot of respect for the Ryan and Scott it's like

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:52.400
ran and Ryan Smith Ryan Shrout they're

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:57.080
both Ryan I could call them I could call them Shrout Smith and wson there you go

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.880
no one would know what the devil I'm talking about and a Smith and Wasson

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:06.560
kind of sounds a gun I actually recognize uh and when you fire it it

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:11.520
goes shout yeah I actually recognize shout more than

00:06:08.599 --> 00:06:15.240
Ryan I don't know why he does go by that okay yeah so anyway so I read their

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:20.400
articles and basically NVIDIA reached out to these guys and explained in much

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:28.160
further detail than we had been had access to in the past how exactly the

00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:30.560
memory controller works on the GTX 970

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:36.919
now the gtx980 is completely unaffected by the issue because it features all of

00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:39.520
the RS all of the cach and all of the

00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:45.120
memory controller goodness of the Maxwell uh excuse me uh GM 204 chip

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:50.319
whereas the gtx970 has instead of what we've seen in

00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:55.360
the past where we'd have like a a chunk of memory controller R smm caor where

00:06:53.560 --> 00:07:00.759
we'd have an entire unit kind of shut off the gtx970 only has it sort of

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:06.000
partially shut off so the way that that works in the real world is you don't get

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.879
the cash you don't get the RS but you do

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.240
get to put the memory on the card and you do have access to it albeit at a

00:07:10.599 --> 00:07:16.800
significantly reduced data rate so what that means is NVIDIA's done some Tom

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.639
Foolery with the drivers and the firmware of the card to ensure that the

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:25.639
first three and 1 half gigs the high performance part gets used first and

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:29.680
some applications will see that as a limit While others will fill up the rest

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:34.400
but only once it's done with with the first 3 and 1/2 gigs now this is still

00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:40.319
faster than swapping out to main memory over PCI Express although not by as much

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:45.039
as I would typically like uh can I help you with something yeah go to that link

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:46.639
and put it on screen oh yeah for sure uh

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:52.400
oh your thing's different that's why yeah I'm not signed into what the I got

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:56.440
signed out too I don't know what's you are logged in successfully you can now

00:07:54.159 --> 00:08:01.360
refresh thanks for that super useless page what the heck was that anyways guys

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.960
give just one moment I'm trying to get a diagram on screen so people can know

00:08:03.159 --> 00:08:10.000
what you're talking about this is the one where it shows the crossbar yeah you I'm sure you've seen this um it's just

00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:18.000
it's helpful there we go there we go okay so got oh oh oh um hold on I can

00:08:14.919 --> 00:08:19.599
just post it in chat but like I want the

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:25.159
archive viewers to be able to see it okay just Z just Z like you guys too

00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:27.360
just just Z oh um oh that's weird I'm

00:08:25.159 --> 00:08:32.839
going to post it in chat in the meantime oh we didn't check that today oh that is

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:36.440
extremely unfortunate hold on a second uh well I'm going to let the I got it I

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:41.440
got it I got it I got it I got it okay we have a directional HTMI cable and

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:48.120
it's going the wrong way way yeah fun oh I love the show I love the show

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:53.600
best show on the internet the more I say I love this show the more you guys know

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:57.000
that I am hating my life right now

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:59.079
yeah I love this show let's plug this

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.640
baby in it's the best show on the internet

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:07.560
and let's go it's got the greatest Technologies running it they've got

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:10.880
completely the improper mic they have a mixer and a condenser which is not even

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.120
plugged in it's not even it's not a condenser what is it it's a compressor

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:19.000
compressor one does not condense One does not simply condense

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:25.440
audio all right you could condense audio you just have to take like a

00:09:23.959 --> 00:09:29.720
two-minute audio clip and put it into one minute you just like fast it's like

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:35.959
fast forwarding audio all right so uh basically the way it works is and this

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:37.720
is perfectly normal for CPUs gpus RAM

00:09:35.959 --> 00:09:41.839
whatever else the case may be when something doesn't get baked just right

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:45.880
and there's a couple bits that are broken what they'll do and and this

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:49.680
diagram shows it pretty well so here's the level two cache that's disabled here

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:53.920
are some of the SMS that are disabled is what and and they won't necessarily be

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:59.480
in this spot like if this SM is broken and this one and this one or something

00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:02.079
that's fine too that part becomes a GT

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:06.040
x970 instead of a 980 so basically we've got all the memory controllers and this

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:12.040
was something that we'd never seen before NVIDIA being able to with a great

00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:15.360
degree of granularity disable only

00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:18.040
certain parts of the chip so NVIDIA's

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:24.079
story and I I think I'm with the other guys on this one I I think I believe

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.519
this is that the engineers and the

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:31.800
technical marketing guys weren't synced up correctly on how this worked and the

00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:37.079
technical marketing guys assumed that they couldn't disable with this level of

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.600
granularity and gave an incorrect spec

00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:44.959
initially for the gtx970 saying it had the same number of

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:48.320
rups as the gtx980 and the same amount

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:50.880
of cash which in the end it turned out

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:56.519
it did not so NVIDIA kind of went yep hey whoa we y we flubbed on this and uh

00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:03.720
and sort of you know that that's all very well and believable but I think

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.720
where people are truly upset

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:08.519
is because NVIDIA is now saying so we

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:12.760
we've gotten further into this NVIDIA is saying blah blah blah yes it's by Design

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.480
here we're showing you how the crossbar works and how the communication works

00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:20.680
because NVIDIA is saying that this is by Design I think the reason people are

00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:27.000
upset is because for all intents and purposes the

00:11:21.959 --> 00:11:31.320
gtx970 you said it does have 4 gabes of

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:34.639
gddr5 memory on it but given that an

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:36.600
eighth of it runs at only about 50%

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:41.360
faster than swapping out to system memory the reason people are upset is

00:11:39.079 --> 00:11:45.800
because I mean is that really usable it almost doesn't count it's there sure

00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:49.560
whatever I guess you can put that on the box but like it's not really effective

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:54.680
and that's kind of bull crap now I've seen a lot of different arguments here

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:58.560
um things like uh AMD tweeted actually

00:11:54.680 --> 00:12:00.800
we've got a we've got a link to this um

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:09.079
here we go so Robert HCK from AMD tweeted oh oh AMD 4 gigs means 4 gigs um

00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:12.839
which been taking shots all over the place yeah they've been just like

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:17.040
they've got like NVIDIA in the headlock and they're like yeah how's your kidney

00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:22.360
like that one yeah how about this one yeah um but quite frankly I see some

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:28.040
parallels that people are drawing that I can kind of get on board with like the

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:32.000
fact that both AMD and NVIDIA advertise

00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:35.480
dual GPU graphics cards as having 8 gigs

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:38.880
of RAM or 6 gigs of RAM when anyone

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:40.920
technical enough knows that effectively

00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:44.760
it's only half that amount a lot of people don't know that a lot of people

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:51.120
don't know that and to me that has always been a very gray way of

00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.079
advertising but honestly that was a confusing thing when I like first got

00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:57.560
into computers and they first started releasing those cards I was like oh

00:12:55.959 --> 00:13:02.560
sweet they just like ramped everything up like even even knowing how that works

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:07.240
I just assumed that there was just more RAM but that is not how it works so so

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:12.680
again that's always been very gr to me but the thing that made it somewhat okay

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:17.839
is that without really doing any digging an educated user could go and read up on

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:22.680
it and they were always very upfront about doubling a vram by adding two gpus

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:26.440
each with their own frame buffer does not effectively double the amount of

00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:34.320
texture information that you can store in the video memory with this one

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:36.839
it really feels like having been at the

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:42.680
Maxwell launch event it really feels like they were intentionally not giving

00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:48.000
us any more information about how Maxwell worked than they absolutely felt

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:52.199
like they had to and I feel like even though they screwed up perhaps

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:56.120
unintentionally in fact I'll tell you what I'm going to say I believe them I

00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:59.199
believe that the r and cash thing was unintentional because there are

00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:04.519
utilities that'll even pick up the GT x970 doesn't have the full two EGS of

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:09.199
level two cash so this that one we probably should have noticed but the

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:12.519
fact that they didn't tell us that an eighth of the memory was running at a

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:19.320
significantly lower speed I don't believe they didn't know that so the

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:21.399
fact that they decided not to tell us um

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:26.440
and waited for this to come out means they either thought no one would ever

00:14:23.199 --> 00:14:29.600
notice which again seems very unlikely I

00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:32.720
mean NVIDIA knows that obsess

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.199
like uh like shroud over at PC per the

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:39.160
guys I listed before Scott at tech report Ryan at a ntech Ryan Ryan Scott

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:42.560
they they they they know that these guys are going to obsessively poke and prod

00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:47.959
at this thing surely they couldn't have imagined that no one would figure this

00:14:44.079 --> 00:14:51.360
out at some point so was it stupid was

00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:53.639
it mismanagement was it deception I

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:58.839
don't know Mis communication for like a crazy long time cuz one of the engineers

00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.600
must have seen some documentation at some some point in time that was

00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:07.399
released by NVIDIA and been like that's not actually right and even not that's

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:12.240
not actually right but even just something as simple as a memory

00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:16.120
bandwidth spec I mean if they had done

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:18.519
something kind of shady like average it

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:23.440
like if they'd kind of gone okay well like it's a weighted average you know

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:28.120
seven portions this and one portion that and kind of gone here's the memory

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:32.600
bandwidth of the card if they had done something like that I kind of mind have

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:36.360
gone yeah okay they were it's gross but sure I guess super groy and if they had

00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:39.920
been up front and said okay well look we're rating this as and they put an

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:44.600
asterisk on it look we're rating this as a as an average

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:48.800
um like I I'd have felt a lot better about it but right now it really does

00:15:46.319 --> 00:15:53.120
feel like we were intentionally deceived about the fact that some of the memory

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:58.600
doesn't run at a faster speed with that said it's it's like you buy a box of

00:15:55.279 --> 00:16:00.720
cookies and 1/8 of the cookies is 17th

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.360
the size of all the other ones yeah like seven of them have like cream cheese

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:08.560
icing and like one of them has lard on it and it's like well you probably

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:12.040
weren't going to finish all seven of those because they're really rich and

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:17.000
delicious and big so the fact that one of them has lard on it shouldn't be an

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:19.920
issue to you but I that still bothers me

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:25.240
if I paid for eight cookies that are cream cheese icing yeah and if you put

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:29.240
it in the closet for future use when you

00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:32.720
buy your larger stomach are you going to

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:34.639
work the wordof into here yeah yeah

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:40.160
that's proof that you haven't mastered the segue yet

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:43.399
oh but yeah essentially like I think part of the reason why I think a lot of

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.480
people didn't notice yet is I don't know that many or like anyone who's actually

00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:50.319
really gaming at 4K all the time right now yep once that becomes more of a

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:54.880
thing a lot more people would have noticed a lot faster and maybe not I

00:16:52.839 --> 00:16:59.720
actually I spent some time with the NC Tech tips guys today and they we filmed

00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:04.640
a video about it there as well and they threw a bunch of games at their GTX 970

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:10.280
at 4K and we're kind of like let's see how much vram we use and what they

00:17:07.679 --> 00:17:15.000
discovered is that until um Battlefield 4 they managed to get over three and a

00:17:11.959 --> 00:17:17.280
half gigs at 4K yeah and what they

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:22.360
realized is that when it's it's it's that classic how much vram is the right

00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:26.919
amount for a graphics card question because once you start just piling it

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:33.080
like if you put 16 gigs of memory on a GTX 970 that would be asinine because it

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:38.360
there's no way that any game that ever exists that would require 16 gigs of

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:40.919
vram would run on that GPU so what they

00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:45.360
discovered is that running Battlefield 4 at 4K was resulting in such a low frame

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:50.760
rate that they had to turn the details down which brought the video memory

00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:55.880
usage back into the comfort zone right

00:17:50.760 --> 00:17:57.840
so I understand why owners are mad but I

00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:03.240
understand NVIDIA's statement about the gtx970 still being a rock and awesome

00:18:00.919 --> 00:18:08.919
product and we're not going to cut the price on it because it's still awesome

00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:13.600
at that price and sorry about the miscommunication they need to be for the

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:18.120
rest of the 970s lifespan they need to be a lot more clear yep because just the

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:22.600
people that paid attention during this and like 6 to eight months down the line

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:27.799
when this isn't as well known because it's faded away it still needs to be

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:33.960
well known and NVIDIA rarely makes a mistake like this twice um I I feel like

00:18:31.919 --> 00:18:40.159
over the last few Generations they've been trying to get you know flirtier and

00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:43.880
and flirtier about sort of how things are actually working how the technology

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:48.000
Works behind the scenes I mean um arguably because they don't want their

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:52.240
competitors to learn too much about it and find a way to clone it in their next

00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:56.559
you know lineup of gpus or or whatever else they're they're worried about but I

00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:02.039
hope that this is a bit of a wakeup call that they have to at least clearly

00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:05.280
communicate the speed at which the hardware is running to the members of

00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:09.120
the tech press that are going to figure this out and call them on it anyway and

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:15.400
I've got a lot of people saying lonus come on don't defend them do I sound like I'm defending them devil zzz is

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:20.720
like lonus I am disappointed they didn't make a mistake they lied lying is

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:25.559
different from misrepresentation and I do believe that there had to be a

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.440
significant degree of unintentional

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:33.520
going on over here because there is absolutely no no way that NVIDIA

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:39.000
completely missed something like they have the wrong amount of cash on a spec

00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:43.520
sheet intentionally there is something to be said about realizing that and then

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:47.440
not fixing it though well there's nothing they can really do to fix it

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:53.480
they can't add more cash no fixing it uh I don't mean in in in that but like not

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:57.919
notifying the public in any way right they waited for it to God my throat

00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:01.760
today I thought I was better um they waited for it to blow up before trying

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.159
to contain it you know what I mean yeah I and the

00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:12.280
thing is is that I'm not like I'm not sure how long of a delay there was

00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:14.760
between NVIDIA realizing this and I

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:18.720
can't imagine it that long I don't think it was that long because the thing is is

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:22.480
that okay like the way this works behind the scenes is when you're launching a

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:26.280
product whether you're at the retailer side like I would have been or whether

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:31.559
you're on NVIDIA's side you've got everyone working around the clock to you

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:36.120
know get the gussied up pictures looking good and get the spec sheets all right

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:40.000
and get the you know the video you know scheduled to launch on YouTube at the

00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:44.880
right time that's like Tom Peterson being all like oh the 970 is amazing so

00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:49.720
the 980 it's even more amazing that's why I should pay more money for it um

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:55.440
and then when the launch is over everyone kind of

00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:57.720
goes and then sits and and monitors and

00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:01.799
makes sure everything's kind of going okay for a couple days and then it's

00:21:00.120 --> 00:21:07.679
time to get back to work and there's something new to work on whether it's a

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:11.039
you know a g-sync you know monitoring

00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:12.600
phase they probably didn't realize yet

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:16.760
cuz I had imagine okay think about think about this the engineers when you're if

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:19.960
you're an engineer yeah and your baby gets released yeah you're not going to

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.120
look into any of the release products from your company and the amount of

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:29.200
Engineers that must have worked on that the amount of Engineers that must have known the specs for that card and then

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:34.159
seen that release documentation I don't know the amount of not my job

00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:39.080
that I've seen in my life I I got a Wonder like I really got a

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:43.120
Wonder I've got to imagine there's there's engineers at NVIDIA that care

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:48.440
enough to look into that documentation I'm I'm I'm willing to

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:52.559
assume to a large degree I'm not sure but I'm willing to assume to a very

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:54.679
large degree that there was at least some amount of internal communication

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:59.240
going on okay well whatever ended up happening

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.840
whatever CU I don't know cuz you can choose to

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:07.600
believe whatever you will but the reality of it is no one outside of

00:22:05.159 --> 00:22:11.440
NVIDIA will ever know the truth the takeaways here are that they've got

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:15.159
their tail between their legs right now people are understandably extremely

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:19.279
upset I mean I've even seen I'd be pissed I don't have a 970 but I would be

00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:23.240
pretty upset I I mean we've seen high level NVIDIA staff on Twitter promising

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:28.320
to help people get refunds on their cards if they're if they're that upset

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:30.520
about it um amds come out and offered uh

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:35.960
yeah Good Good Old Roy oh my God just shots everywhere yeah here I'll pull

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:40.480
this up uh AMD has has started offering

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:43.200
people deals on R9 290s with a full four

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:48.120
full 4 gigabyt of memory uh to anyone returning a

00:22:44.679 --> 00:22:50.559
gtx970 good good Old Roy um does this

00:22:48.120 --> 00:22:55.080
apply to Canadians 2 or am my so nope we love Canucks 2 oh man those guys kind of

00:22:54.200 --> 00:23:00.799
funny actually so I guess what else is there

00:22:58.159 --> 00:23:04.640
to really say about this other than people are people are people are butt

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:09.440
hurt which is why we were debating whether or not we can use that word and

00:23:07.159 --> 00:23:13.279
we've decided apparently yes yeah yes we can because we're not relating it to

00:23:11.159 --> 00:23:18.440
other things people are butt hurt their butt hurt because they got screwed and

00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:21.440
how hard they got screwed well it's really difficult to say we're not

00:23:19.679 --> 00:23:24.919
relating it to other things their butt hurt because they got

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:29.000
screwed damn it uh have you ever heard of something

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:33.720
called a quk screw oh if you were to stick that into your gluteus maximus

00:23:30.919 --> 00:23:38.760
that would hurt that yes that yes all right so now that we've put that issue

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:43.200
to bed yes damn

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.559
it um always home free and then you're like

00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:50.400
no I guess all that's really do you want to straw pull this like why don't we

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:56.360
just why don't we just what we what are we straw pulling straw pull um you know

00:23:53.840 --> 00:24:04.080
H gee I don't know how about just let's straw pull misspelled it let's straw

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:06.279
pull how upset are you about gtx970 so

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:10.320
uh option one should be storm in a teacup which I've seen a lot of people

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:15.039
I've seen a lot of people use that exact wording for it and not to sort of sway

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:22.480
the results of the poll at all but I think that's a load of malarkey um so

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:25.880
you know six or let's go with I'm upset

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:30.360
but you know I'd still buy a

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:33.080
970 and then let's go with um upset

00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:38.480
would not buy a 970 and then let's go with upset would not buy any NVIDIA

00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:41.840
product anymore so we want we want to we want to cover the whole Spectrum here

00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:47.279
and then we'll put in the usual like I don't know um cucumber diama or

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:56.640
whatever all right are you posting that in twitch chat yep all right I'll I'll

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:59.360
get the link from there so we'll

00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:04.240
uh we'll go ahead to do straw P ones cuz you have to go to the results page sure

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:10.080
yeah no problem are you not logged in twitch why you do this to

00:25:06.760 --> 00:25:11.960
me Monsters has to load the chat

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:16.559
separately because it's not running their own thing I'll load your chat

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:22.039
separately come on spinny wheel please Sarah please Sarah don't worry about it

00:25:19.760 --> 00:25:26.960
is that the name of the spinny wheel no all right okay uh can you just Google

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:30.840
Google Chat it to me yeah I can do that I mean Hangouts it

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:35.399
that is not catchy at all it's like binging things like nobody Bings things

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:40.360
you want to hang out with me on my browser because no desktop application

00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:46.039
or I guess there is but it's garbage yeah yeah so there's

00:25:42.679 --> 00:25:50.440
that the chat never loaded wait what's

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:52.279
up oh my gosh you know that obnoxious BS

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:57.399
thing that Google does where if you rightclick um copy Link in the Google

00:25:55.320 --> 00:26:02.279
search like you should control C control V there no no it it no no not that the

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:06.720
one where instead of just being the link it's a Google trackable link oh yeah

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:11.320
yeah uh so they've they're doing it in Hangouts now really so the link I posted

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:18.279
in here instead of just being straw poole. is like Google do whatever yeah

00:26:15.679 --> 00:26:23.159
pretty pretty obnoxious whoa I've never see it's new whoa that's gross that's

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.720
really long like can you just not can you just actually stop doing that thank

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:31.039
you Google that would be great wow that's garbage like I see what website

00:26:29.360 --> 00:26:36.520
I'm going to you butts all right speaking of butts um

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:41.120
upset but I'd still buy 970 I think this is the reaction NVIDIA is kind of hoping

00:26:38.600 --> 00:26:46.640
for here is they I'm sure it is they know people are upset but

00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:50.640
they kind of are like well the 970 is

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:52.399
still awesome so yeah uh two and you

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:58.640
know what's kind of funny is I remember thinking when the 970 launched that it

00:26:55.080 --> 00:27:01.880
was so close to 980 and yet the price

00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:05.000
Gap was so big it's almost like whoever

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:07.559
was doing pricing knew that they were

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:12.000
cutting it down a lot more than whoever was doing technical marketing yeah if

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:17.559
that makes sense yeah yeah that actually does make sense so a lot of uh a lot of

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:20.240
cucumber diarama um a lot of upset would

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:24.960
not buy a 970 a lot of storm in a teacup uh not a lot of butt hurt and uh

00:27:22.919 --> 00:27:29.799
surprisingly little upset would not buy any NVIDIA product I bet you a large

00:27:26.919 --> 00:27:35.640
amount of that um is people that weren't going to anyways yep AMD guys I mean to

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:40.399
imagine that we have fewer than 7% sort of team red members in our audience

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:45.519
would be completely ignorant of us so yes all right we've spent enough of this

00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:51.519
show on butts and this topic so let's move on to

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:54.600
NVIDIA is in another bundle of hot water

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:57.240
can you have a bundle of hot water um so

00:27:54.600 --> 00:28:02.519
this well I guess if you had like a waterproof Satchel of some

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:06.039
sort so that was in a bundle I'm going to go ahead and post this link in the

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:12.080
chat like if you had a waterproof jacket B Boop oh right I have to spam it now

00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:18.080
all right so this was uh a great little discussion on the PC per YouTube channel

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:23.559
as well as uh on an article on pcp.com but there were reports running around

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:29.000
and this was post by m

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:30.919
mvi m mkin sure mkin on the Forum and uh

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:36.679
there were reports on the internet of some guy uh sorry did you yeah I posted

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:44.080
already of some guy like supposedly modifying a GT uh a GTX

00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:48.039
980m notebook to run g-sync on its

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:49.720
integrated panel and I saw the rumors

00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.760
late at night and I kind of didn't have time to look into it and I kind of

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:59.240
forgot about it which is kind of embarrassing because I really should have looked into this it's a huge deal

00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:02.640
but PC per ran out a ained that exact

00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:05.000
model of notebook got their hands on the

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:09.600
driver that the guy supposedly modded turns out they didn't mod anything it

00:29:06.360 --> 00:29:13.159
was just uh it was an alpha level driver

00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:15.640
that someone in ASUS's like Nordic

00:29:13.159 --> 00:29:20.640
support team or something gave to a customer to try to fix a different

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:25.960
unrelated issue and then they had the desync notification pop up in the corner

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:30.480
and it turned out that it worked yeah um so so that's how that driver got leaked

00:29:27.840 --> 00:29:35.240
out there and basically what they did was they took the laptop verified that

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:39.760
it worked and it did so NVIDIA's pendulum demo works perfectly you go

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:44.760
vsync on no vsync you get your tearing you go gsync and you get no stutter and

00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:48.640
no tear and then they completely tore the laptop apart piece by piece and they

00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:53.799
claimed to have pictures in their article but I'm going to go ahead and uh

00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:58.600
here we go so they completely tore apart I tried to get Ryan on the show today

00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:59.679
actually but I think he he's I think his

00:29:58.600 --> 00:30:02.799
wife told him he couldn't come or something like that so uh wow you guys

00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:08.000
can give him a hard time about that on Twitter but they they tore this baby

00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:15.399
apart even peel back the LCD examined every component there is no gsync module

00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:19.600
so this raises a lot of questions about NVIDIA's communication with respect to

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:25.840
gsync as well because they've been telling us we need a special module to

00:30:23.320 --> 00:30:31.480
communicate with the graphics card and obviously the same is not true for free

00:30:28.360 --> 00:30:34.799
sync or for adaptive sync the Vasa spec

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:37.559
upon which free sync AMD's equivalent is

00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:40.640
based because AMD is not making any claims about having a special module the

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:44.960
only thing they're saying is they have to have a GPU that supports it correctly

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:50.240
so NVIDIA's been telling us we need this module and that it does some stuff like

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:54.320
it goes ahead and compares the data from the previous frame to the data on the

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:59.159
next frame with a little built-in buffer and they uh actually PC Pur discussion

00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:01.720
of this whole thing says that nidia's claiming they have some additional

00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:06.360
functionality they can potentially unlock with the gsync module in the future we don't know if this is true we

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:12.440
don't know if it's untrue we don't know anything right now but um basically

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:17.519
there is no g-sync module and this raises questions about well why exactly

00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:21.840
did we need a g-sync module in the first place I'm going to bring up some things

00:31:19.639 --> 00:31:26.320
first of all this is very much one of those things that I um well okay this is

00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:31.519
actually not very much but a little bit one of those things that I don't like where it's heavily kind of it's not a

00:31:29.679 --> 00:31:36.000
rumor because we know officially fromia but it's so early on and there's been

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:40.000
one call and there's a ton of speculation they're like okay it exists

00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:44.399
let's tear apart this one laptop and then not find something and then slam

00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.840
them for it which is Justified definitely to a certain degree but a lot

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:55.480
of the things that are being said including by you I don't think are necessarily fair not necessarily needed

00:31:52.840 --> 00:32:01.039
a g-sync module they may no longer need a g-sync module so and

00:31:58.399 --> 00:32:05.880
and NVIDIA's claim that they will be able to add more functionality with a

00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:10.720
gsync module with its own built-in memory buffer and all that stuff could

00:32:07.399 --> 00:32:13.559
be very true yes that could be 100% true

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:19.760
and 100% valid in fact it could be that mobile g-sync which for power reasons

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:26.679
and complexity reasons may never use a g-sync module it could be that mobile

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:29.279
gsync may not be as good as desktop GYN

00:32:26.679 --> 00:32:33.240
in the long term GYN M or something it could be an entirely different version

00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:38.000
um and that would make a ton of sense as well like we're I I feel like because

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.559
we're pitchforking I'm using pitchforking because I don't know what

00:32:39.320 --> 00:32:45.960
the chat's doing but those look like pitchforks those are pitchforks um because we're pitchforking NVIDIA so

00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:50.080
heavily for the 970 thing we just immediately started re pitchforking them

00:32:47.639 --> 00:32:53.880
for this one before gaining a ton of information was an early driver that

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:58.159
that frankly doesn't work correctly I mean actually again shout from PC per

00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:02.639
did a great job of covering this because they even talk about like guys look it's

00:32:59.919 --> 00:33:07.799
not working we did manage to dis they did manage to discover that the panel on

00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:12.480
this laptop actually is a 100 HZ IPS panel which I certainly didn't realize

00:33:10.399 --> 00:33:17.200
it's rated at 75 and we've got one of these laptops as well and so that's

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:21.279
super cool but then they also discovered that it's running with g-sync but uh

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:25.399
when you go particularly when the frame rate drops or drastically dips and it's

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:30.559
funny they used Assassin's Creed Unity to demo that but when it drastically

00:33:27.919 --> 00:33:37.039
dips it can actually cause the screen to disconnect temporarily or even for a

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:38.960
while so it's it's not working yet and

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:45.159
their speculation based on the conversation with NVIDIA is that mobile

00:33:41.639 --> 00:33:47.279
gsync Bas because we've got better

00:33:45.159 --> 00:33:51.279
scaler technology now than we did back when NVIDIA was developing gsync and

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:56.639
this whole thing didn't exist yet is that mobile gsync may end up being more

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:59.200
of a certification yeah process similar

00:33:56.639 --> 00:34:03.960
to the free sync idea as opposed to just Hardware now to be clear the one of the

00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:08.839
differences between the way AMD works and the way NVIDIA works is that AMD has

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:13.200
a freesync certification process but that doesn't mean that a monitor that

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:17.280
has the supported Hardware but does not have the certification will not work we

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:23.679
had this conversation with Theus where they didn't intend to certify one of

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.040
their monitors but we have heard I don't

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:29.159
have one of those monitors yet that freesync works on it just fine with

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:35.119
NVIDIA I would not expect that to be the case because that's the way they

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:37.320
function they validate a use case

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:42.000
thoroughly and then they put their stamp of this is the experience you will have

00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:49.800
on it and that is how they control their ecosystem s stuff like GTX 770 and GTX

00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:52.040
680 they're the exact same damn card

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:57.880
with the exception of the GTX 770 has faster clocked memory there is no reason

00:34:55.200 --> 00:35:05.440
why the GTX 770 couldn't have its memory clocked down and run an SLI with a GTX

00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:07.359
680 at least without you know extensive

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:10.960
tweaking of firmwares and drivers or whatever else to make it work there's no

00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:15.680
real reason those couldn't run an SLI that's not the way NVIDIA does things

00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:24.599
AMD on the other hand allows Crossfire to run on an r9280x and a 7970 or a 7970

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:26.240
GHz Edition all of which are sort of

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.000
different cards although they're based on the same GPU with the same memory

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:34.119
configuration in much the same way that 770 and 680 are

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:40.040
so it's a different philosophy I mean another great example NVIDIA slii

00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:41.520
requires an SLI certified board even

00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:45.760
though there's no technical reason it couldn't work on any board as we've seen

00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:54.359
with hacked drivers in the past and requires 8X PCIe operation regardless of

00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:57.280
the fact that that doesn't matter PCIe

00:35:54.359 --> 00:36:01.440
gen 34x is plenty fast for SLI with a modern card you can quote me on that but

00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:08.000
NVIDIA doesn't allow it they say look 8X is the is the minimum that's what we

00:36:03.359 --> 00:36:10.599
validate for so that's it that's final

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:15.079
so the mobile g-sync one I think the takeaway is we need to wait and see we

00:36:13.560 --> 00:36:18.960
need to wait and see I don't think they lied I think they wanted desktop gsync

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:23.680
in our hands a lot sooner hence the event that happened like months and

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:28.280
months and months before we actually got our hands on retail monitors um and I

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:32.800
think in that time a development happened a lot faster than NVIDIA

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:35.480
expected on on the on the third party scalers that could be implemented in

00:36:34.160 --> 00:36:40.079
monitors for another solution like adaptive syn and I I think this this was

00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:45.920
not supposed to be talked about yet this was an accidental leak that turned into

00:36:42.319 --> 00:36:48.319
a now kind of huge thing and as we've

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:55.119
seen from freaking star seon when you have uh fan interaction before something

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:56.400
is ready it's sometimes ugly so that's

00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:01.440
why I brought up the rumor thing at the beginning no it's not a rumor

00:36:58.240 --> 00:37:04.720
but we just kind of need to wait until

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.839
we get like an official working driver

00:37:04.720 --> 00:37:12.200
um stuff supplied from them to be like yes try this experience and see what

00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:14.319
it's like um yeah I think we're going

00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:17.599
wait and figure it out and I think like you were saying that there's going to be

00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:21.119
different g-sync there'll be g-sync mobile and Gynt and there going to be I

00:37:19.640 --> 00:37:24.440
think very different experiences especially because they explicitly said

00:37:23.200 --> 00:37:28.960
that there's features that they still have to unlock on the actual g-sync

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:33.520
module and there's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that NVIDIA is developing a

00:37:31.839 --> 00:37:37.960
better g-sync module than the one they have I mean back when they did the event

00:37:35.359 --> 00:37:41.880
before it even launched they said look this solution's really expensive and

00:37:39.720 --> 00:37:45.280
produces a lot of power we need to shrink it down and I'm sure they haven't

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:50.680
been sitting on their butts for the last year and a half so yeah I mean I'd

00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:55.240
expect to see a gsync module that allows for more inputs than just DisplayPort

00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:59.800
for example cuz that's like stupid you buy a $1,000 monitor with one in I come

00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:05.319
on it's not like NVIDIA hasn't thought of this maybe it should have HDMI in or

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:08.640
something be helpful for like like yeah I mean they're the only video card maker

00:38:06.680 --> 00:38:13.319
in the market with HDMI 2.0 on their graphics cards and then their own

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:17.680
display controller doesn't accept HDMI 2.0 in it doesn't make any sense many

00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.520
monitors that I use on a daily basis have more than one of their inputs plugged in so I can swap between inputs

00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:27.599
that's that's a thing so the exciting thing here is that mobile g-sync is

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:32.000
coming uh the unfortunate thing is owner of the g751 I doubt very much that

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:38.920
they're actually going to get it because it looks like this is a very Alpha thing

00:38:35.200 --> 00:38:41.359
right now but um very cool stuff I I I

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:48.400
wish that NVIDIA was more upfront with us I understand why in their competitive

00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.680
clo and Dagger industry they're not but

00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:55.440
I don't understand how people in the chat are trying to say that this is an NVIDIA sponsored stream when have we

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:59.640
been not slamming on them this stream anyways sorry keep going that was stream

00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:04.119
is sponsored by Squarespace uh Loot Crate and I fix it I just thought I'd

00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:08.640
clarify that you know what let's do our sponsor spot I'm excited about mobile

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:14.119
gsync but I think that can that can actually wait so let's start with

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:16.920
Squarespace these guys are kind of crazy

00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:21.160
this is the second time they have done a Super Bowl commercial so I'm going to

00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:25.119
show you guys the uh the teaser here we also have like an animated lower third

00:39:23.200 --> 00:39:28.040
from them now that I'm we had this last week did we well I don't know how much I

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:34.839
like it I think it should go for a little while

00:39:31.040 --> 00:39:36.720
and then stop yeah maybe okay wow they

00:39:34.839 --> 00:39:41.160
have like maybe if maybe if these lines and dots come on screen and then like

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:45.319
form something like maybe if there isn't the for free trial and 10% off click get

00:39:43.560 --> 00:39:48.839
started and those lines and dots like form into that that would be pretty cool

00:39:47.319 --> 00:39:52.560
or if that's there and then the lines and dots form into the Squarespace logo

00:39:51.040 --> 00:39:59.920
like the lines turn into the letters and the dots turn into the two

00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:01.200
s's um branding yeah so I completely

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:06.160
lost track of what you were talking about that's cool because you got that set up I'm gonna go ahead and uh and

00:40:04.319 --> 00:40:10.760
play this so this is their this is their Super Bowl commercial teaser I love

00:40:09.200 --> 00:40:18.440
we're in the corner listening to intriguing sounds

00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:18.440
when I drift off into my

00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:23.520
dreams others might

00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:36.640
you don't have audio right now do you I've I've seen this oh yeah okay I told

00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:42.040
you before that I listened to the whole album and everything so um You released a whole

00:40:40.359 --> 00:40:48.280
album on Squarespace have you seen have you seen any of this yeah yeah so um you

00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:53.480
can you can hear Jeff's album so this is Jeff Bridges the dude from the big

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:55.720
Labowski it's super weird it is actually

00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:58.720
super bizarre now something I didn't know about this Pro so his site is

00:40:57.319 --> 00:41:02.480
obviously built with Squarespace and he's collaborating with Squarespace on

00:41:00.319 --> 00:41:06.920
this Super Bowl ad and and all that stuff but what I didn't realize is that

00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:12.359
this isn't some weird contrived Squarespace thing this is something Jeff

00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.200
Bridges was legitimately working on um

00:41:12.359 --> 00:41:19.960
this Ikea one is pretty bizarre yeah so you can buy the album

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:22.160
digitally and the proceeds go to no kid

00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:25.400
hungry which is pretty cool or you can buy a physical copy if you're into that

00:41:23.720 --> 00:41:29.520
sort of thing when I die there will be no I think the proceeds this

00:41:31.160 --> 00:41:39.240
could I have contracted with space Mater

00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:42.119
toor my remains aboard an etern a

00:41:39.240 --> 00:41:47.920
satellite so I'm not actually sure that any of this would help me sleep any

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:49.440
better than um than I otherwise would on

00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:55.520
own there's parts of it that would cuz there's parts of it where he isn't talking but parts of it where it gets

00:41:53.200 --> 00:42:00.280
super bizarre a lot of his speech stuff though is is intended to make you uh

00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:03.599
dream about weird things that will throw you into a dream state like there's

00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:07.079
there's reasoning behind a lot I don't know if it would work for me there I'm

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:12.240
just saying so you can get an LP or cassette even if you want yeah you get a

00:42:09.319 --> 00:42:15.880
golden LP or a normal LP or a cassette or I think digital I don't even know if

00:42:13.839 --> 00:42:20.920
you can get a CD so we've talked enough about Jeff Bridges and his like Jeff

00:42:18.680 --> 00:42:23.960
Bridges project that's going on over here sleeping tapes we'll talk a little

00:42:22.359 --> 00:42:28.920
bit about Squarespace so they allow you to make your own website that's scalable

00:42:26.359 --> 00:42:32.480
fast runs great on your desktop it runs great on mobile phones they've got a

00:42:30.319 --> 00:42:36.400
bunch of great templates all that stuff they have that super annoying jingle

00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:41.440
that I think about every single time I do a Squarespace spot uh oh is that site

00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:45.040
up yeah it's terrible I'm still working on it oh okay we'll show we'll show it

00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:48.400
later okay um oh and I'll save actually got a one of okay I got the best

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.839
testimonial we've ever gotten from anyone about a sponsor spot about

00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:56.720
Squarespace so I I saved it and I'll uh I'll uh I'll I'll share that with you

00:42:54.240 --> 00:43:00.760
guys another time but basically don't miss the Super Bowl so that you can see

00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:04.800
squarespace's commercial or any of the other reasons

00:43:03.200 --> 00:43:09.920
that you might want to watch the Super Bowl also for a free trial and 10% off

00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:13.760
visit squarespace.com Linus and use offer code Linus I

00:43:12.640 --> 00:43:19.160
actually don't know squarespace.com Linus works anymore but use offer code Linus all right yeah I don't I don't

00:43:17.359 --> 00:43:25.319
think it does but the offer code does work all right so next up we've got our

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:27.400
I fix it sponsor spot which I sincerely

00:43:25.319 --> 00:43:33.720
hope that I have the video file that goes with so iFix it ah yes so

00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:37.040
ifixit.com Linus use offer code wow2 to

00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:38.640
save $10 on your purchase of $50 or more

00:43:37.040 --> 00:43:43.400
so this is actually just some footage that we took of my iFixit tool kit that

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:46.800
I use all the time see that antistatic strap boom it goes on a wrist it goes on

00:43:45.200 --> 00:43:53.160
an ankle which is where I usually keep it um we've got a bunch of little priers

00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:55.359
and pokers and knives and all kinds of

00:43:53.160 --> 00:43:59.720
different driver bits and all kinds of cool stuff like that I basically I'm a

00:43:57.160 --> 00:44:03.440
big fan of the iFixit tool kit before they came on and started sponsoring the

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:07.319
show I had already done an unboxing of their prot te tool kit that I had

00:44:05.160 --> 00:44:13.240
purchased for myself that I use all the time and Nick's coming in here to tell

00:44:09.040 --> 00:44:19.800
me I did something wrong wo 02 wo

00:44:13.240 --> 00:44:21.839
02 wo wo 02 so this that is you know

00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:25.520
that if you put a zero before a number it doesn't matter in mathematics but it

00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:31.559
does in URLs and code

00:44:28.839 --> 00:44:35.119
cuz it still counts as a character all right so uh so guys they've got all

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:38.480
kinds of great tutorials you can fix basically anything we used their

00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:41.920
tutorial for our iMac tear down which I definitely would not have been able to

00:44:40.319 --> 00:44:49.160
do and might have even hurt myself if I had tried to do it without it yeah honestly iMac tur Downs super suck so

00:44:46.359 --> 00:44:55.839
and finally Loot Crate use offer code Linus to save 10% which amounts to

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:57.760
like not a lot of money but that's okay

00:44:55.839 --> 00:45:04.400
it's still an amount of money and if you sign up for a whole okay if you sign up

00:44:59.640 --> 00:45:06.400
for a whole year then um then it's more

00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.720
yeah it'll add up more yeah hey do you want to do the uh do you want to do the

00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:13.480
webcam thing and we'll do our live unboxing we may actually do another live

00:45:11.520 --> 00:45:18.160

but yeah let's get the uh let's get the webcam going on here add camera let's do

00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:31.599
the Logitech one cuz it doesn't suck it's way better yeah oh it's not in wide

00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:36.160
screen why does it always forget okay well don't look at me they can already

00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:37.760
see me look at my junk the junk in this

00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:42.599
Loot Crate package um we do you have the software

00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:48.599
for this software it's super easy to make it go into WID screen there's software oh for oh for I thought for The

00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:52.520
Loot Crate I'm not too worried about it okay see it looks like a nest and then

00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:56.680
there's the controller plugins and stuff oh that's cool yeah it looks like an

00:45:54.920 --> 00:46:04.240
orange Nast do you know what's in here already uh maybe you cheated Nick cheated oh

00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:08.599
Nick cheated oh that's right he did okay so we've got a lot crate rewind oh so

00:46:06.680 --> 00:46:13.240
this is kind of like the YouTube Rewind concept where they pick like cool stuff

00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:18.160
from like the previous year oh no it's just retro stuff yeah it's just rewind

00:46:15.520 --> 00:46:21.280
in general oh rewind in general yeah all right so we got a shirt I haven't

00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:26.200
actually seen the shirt there we go that's pretty nice I

00:46:24.520 --> 00:46:31.920
love what a great values these things are cuz like even just a shirt is like

00:46:29.359 --> 00:46:35.640
10 15 20 bucks a lot of the time to get like cool shirts with neat patterns on

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:40.440
them speaking of which lonus techtips has shirts available for

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:44.720
$19.99 more than a Loot Crate much more expensive than an entire Loot Crate

00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:48.960
which also has other things in it a nice 8 bit glasses yeah and these are like

00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:53.520
like UV protective like non- terrible ones cuz usually when you find 8bit

00:46:50.680 --> 00:46:57.040
glasses they're like the garbage $5 like these ones suck eight bit glasses oh I

00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.640
wouldn't give them too much credit that UV doesn't look like anything special

00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:05.040
but they're better than any other apic glasses I've seen I will give them that

00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:08.520
a yeah I might not have seen very great ones but they are better and they're

00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:12.960
orange and black these are pretty cool actually

00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:15.000
these these go pretty well with the lest

00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:19.000
Tech tips thing that we got going on here the 8 bit shirt he needs 8 bit

00:47:17.240 --> 00:47:23.960
glasses now yeah all right what else we got in here sweet it's shaped like a

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:31.680
nest cartridge what is it it's like a dude you have to build it really yeah

00:47:27.720 --> 00:47:32.880
so analog retro inspired products yeah

00:47:31.680 --> 00:47:38.920
take it out so there's your your cartridge but then you he has like feet

00:47:34.680 --> 00:47:41.720
and stuff which is in there oh so he's

00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:45.280
like a little guy we should do this like we should have the the cameraman like

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:49.960
pre-research products then you just do unboxings for them so it's like Linus's

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:53.440
discoveries but the cameraman knows what's actually happening yeah so if

00:47:51.520 --> 00:47:56.640
you're confused about anything I can be like hey yeah no it's this it's cool and

00:47:55.280 --> 00:48:05.359
then you can be like waa that's super cool cool L's First Impressions plus

00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.920
knowledge The Best of Both Worlds yeah

00:48:05.359 --> 00:48:11.720
and then you you can put like the gun in his hand I did actually figure that out

00:48:09.319 --> 00:48:19.000
on my own thank you yeah I just wasn't sure okay oh sweet it's a light gun yeah

00:48:15.640 --> 00:48:22.400
nice and like it it's often not like

00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:25.480
this is kind of Back to the Future um if

00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:27.800
you can see the like like it's Back to

00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:32.520
the Future e and and then the the other one that we had was a doctor who styled

00:48:30.319 --> 00:48:37.160
one so they're not necessarily Nest games but they're

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:41.480
necessarily oh I didn't even plan that one out oh dang all right what we got

00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:46.119
here this I actually don't know what it is black tie

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:51.119
geek okay when you when you do the like established thing it needs to be not

00:48:48.319 --> 00:48:56.000
like two years ago yeah um I'm assuming this is just a clip

00:48:53.559 --> 00:49:00.559
on tie oh look at that is it oh no it's an actual tie tie tie and it's kind of

00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:05.000
cool I always forget and this is embarrassing how much are loot crates

00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.280
again I don't know I don't think they're

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:13.440
very much though that's not bad that's pretty cool

00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:14.880
that's like a a decent tie that's fun I

00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:19.000
would wear that look at that space invader's tie yeah I think it's a little

00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:22.839
thin for you unfortunately no thin ties are a thing oh are they a thing yeah I'm

00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:27.760
not fashionable I I'm not either so they might not be a thing anymore they were a

00:49:24.680 --> 00:49:30.079
thing at at some point

00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:33.480
pocket notebook 64 panel sheets a notebook for when inspiration strikes

00:49:32.160 --> 00:49:38.079
cartooning tips and a ter balloon template for pych character studies and

00:49:35.640 --> 00:49:43.640
yeah it's like a cartooners yeah comic book did you really forget how much loot

00:49:40.319 --> 00:49:45.799
crates are yeah I don't know 1337 1337

00:49:43.640 --> 00:49:50.000
thank you Nick worth it so far all right they always they always come with this

00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:53.280
thing so they have like people wearing Loot Crate

00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:55.760
stuff whether you're a fan or not it's impossible to not love Nintendo for

00:49:54.559 --> 00:50:00.559
being a source of nostalgia for their games worlds of characters unless you're a Sega fan cool stuff yeah unless you're

00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:05.200
unless you're a Sega fan then you probably hate on Nintendo pretty hard

00:50:02.680 --> 00:50:09.880
mention that it's 1337 for one month and less if you order more months at a time

00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:15.760
oh good okay so you could save anywhere from

00:50:11.680 --> 00:50:18.520
a137 I think or $133 with our offer code

00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:24.040
to more but proportionally less if you order more at a time so here's a little

00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:26.440
uh pop out foldable controller that goes

00:50:24.040 --> 00:50:32.200
with the uh now this is I thought this was really cool be careful it's a I'm

00:50:29.680 --> 00:50:35.480
going to go and make it worthless what all right that's actually probably valid

00:50:34.160 --> 00:50:40.760
you might as well show them yeah I might as well have a look at what's going on in here see I'm a Star Wars geek so you

00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:46.319
can kind of get my attention with Star Wars stuff all right well it's starting

00:50:43.359 --> 00:50:54.570
off about like I might have expected okay

00:50:59.040 --> 00:51:03.960
huh that's fun I wonder is this like a

00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:10.720
is this like a copyright infringement thing if we read a comic book on

00:51:07.720 --> 00:51:11.599
stream I'm not reading a comic book like

00:51:10.720 --> 00:51:18.359
I don't know what you're talking about let's players would argue it's not look that's the audio setup that's not fully

00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:20.079
set up yeah I know right all right so

00:51:18.359 --> 00:51:24.480
thank you to our sponsors the Squarespace Loot Crate and I fix it for

00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:30.720
making the W show possible let's move on to our next topic

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:34.720
which is I have no idea I don't know we actually have a lot of topics left and

00:51:32.520 --> 00:51:40.319
there's like do we half an hour left cool so cuz all we've made it through is

00:51:37.240 --> 00:51:43.880
it's like the NVIDIA and people you want

00:51:40.319 --> 00:51:45.839
to slam on EA yeah it's been so long

00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:52.760
yeah what did EA do oh yeah that's awesome yeah okay oh I can't contrl F EA

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:54.760
I'll control F micro transaction wrecked

00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:59.960
uh this was posted by and then there was one on the Forum have you posted in

00:51:56.799 --> 00:52:02.599
twitch I'm ready I'm ready I got this

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:08.720
all right contr v wait what oh I think I did it wrong

00:52:05.839 --> 00:52:17.359
wait really oh Google freaking Google Docs does it now too oh really

00:52:12.680 --> 00:52:19.599
yeah jeez guys you're killing me here

00:52:17.359 --> 00:52:23.000
all right well it's from Android police and EA that's why I haven't noticed I

00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:28.520
always do it that way I open the website and then I link it all right EA will be

00:52:25.319 --> 00:52:31.280
charging for gas in the ironically named

00:52:28.520 --> 00:52:34.520
Need for Speed Unlimited or No Limits excuse me no limits which is totally

00:52:32.680 --> 00:52:38.480
different from unlimited um so basically well I don't

00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:41.480
know cell phone companies might actually agree with you unlimited for cell phone

00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:46.200
companies is 2,000 whereas No Limits might be

00:52:44.799 --> 00:52:52.839
something else entirely no no no no oh no no limits is

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:54.799
actually 500 no no there's no limit when

00:52:52.839 --> 00:52:58.839
you advance and you're a cell phone provider oh it's a 90 song You Don't

00:52:56.599 --> 00:53:04.359
recognize it do you no I kind of do oh that's a shame all right well at any

00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:11.119
rate um the brand tough Meter whatever that oh this

00:53:08.160 --> 00:53:15.880
is a different language fuel fuel meter I was like what are you trying to

00:53:13.240 --> 00:53:20.200
read I haven't read the rest of it yet um so basically you can use in-game

00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:25.160
currency to buy gas for your car or you can sit and wait for your gas to refuel

00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:30.319
on its own which is exactly how the real world works I'm sure someone

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:34.760
someone on the team was like how will we make people feel like microtransactions

00:53:32.359 --> 00:53:38.880
are a more natural part of gameplay wait racing okay so you can buy things for

00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:43.960
your car everyone needs to fuel their car bam instant success executive

00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:47.119
promotion one thing that executive promotion one thing that I'm not

00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:51.280
entirely sure about because I couldn't really find it and watch it be in the

00:53:48.520 --> 00:53:55.079
article but um wow people are doing the Pitchfork thing and then putting an A on

00:53:52.640 --> 00:54:00.160
the end so it's a pit EA Pitchfork because it would normally have the e

00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:03.760
already cuz the that's awesome um

00:54:00.160 --> 00:54:07.200
Pitchfork not instead of digging so oh

00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:10.280
EA pitchforks Ubisoft digs eventually

00:54:07.200 --> 00:54:13.280
we'll have a full Farm of game

00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:15.960
developers NVIDIA back

00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:20.319
hos shovels weren't fast enough for them this

00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:22.839
week yeah um anyways I I think it might

00:54:20.319 --> 00:54:25.640
be a free-to-play game yeah in which case that's totally expected because

00:54:24.359 --> 00:54:29.960
that's how every single free to-play game works ever and this isn't new yeah

00:54:27.839 --> 00:54:34.559
it's just annoying yes it is annoying one thing that I kind of found was funny

00:54:31.520 --> 00:54:36.680
though is that they still used

00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:41.319
gold like what like you you couldn't use like like

00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:44.599
Karma or something I know need for speed's done that before haven't they

00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:47.640
wasn't it karma I know I don't no I don't Kudos I haven't played Need for

00:54:46.559 --> 00:54:51.480
Speed since underground that's probably a good

00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:55.240
choice so right there underground was pretty good yeah it was underground was

00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:57.960
great what game was it that used Kudos maybe it was a different game maybe I'm

00:54:56.680 --> 00:55:03.559
thinking of a different racing game twitch chat's going to slam and all

00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:06.880
right well end gadgets article here the

00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:08.720
FCC redefines

00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:12.520
Broadband I'm a little confused on this topic I thought they already did this no

00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:16.119
they were talking about it and it was looking like it was going to go through

00:55:14.640 --> 00:55:20.640
so now it's like totally definitely through yes it's done okay it's done but

00:55:18.799 --> 00:55:27.599
the truth of the matter is this doesn't really change anything because it's not

00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:30.119
like it's not like the Telos have to

00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:35.680
start giving you 25 megabit down they just can't call their crapp Broadband

00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:41.440
anymore yes that's the only change this only changes in America um one of one of

00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:44.559
the folks that was uh that was voting on the issue said something or oh I hope

00:55:43.160 --> 00:55:50.920
she was one of the people voting control F 100 uh FCC commissioner

00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:55.240
Jessica Rosen Mor still stated today that she thinks the BR Broadband

00:55:52.520 --> 00:55:58.520
threshold should frankly be 100 megabit per second a move would finally put the

00:55:57.280 --> 00:56:07.000
United States in line with the Speedy connections available in countries like South Korea so was 25 enough some would

00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:11.200
argue no um I would probably agree especially if we're trying to call like

00:56:09.359 --> 00:56:15.119
Broadband what's the what's the implication here yeah and a big problem

00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:18.960
with this too is when's the next time we're going to redefine this not for a

00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:25.359
long time so it should have been a lot higher 4K TVs are affordable today and

00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:28.119
25 megabit down is not going to be especially with the kind of data cap

00:56:26.799 --> 00:56:32.839
that's going to come with that speed of connection is not enough for you to be

00:56:30.160 --> 00:56:35.480
watching your 4K Netflix all day mind you if you're watching 4K Netflix all

00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:40.359
day I mean what do they have like four shows in 4k I mean you probably watch a

00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:43.319
lot of the same shows slick as sick slick as

00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:46.680
sick there we go what do you mean he says he's going to start a monthly

00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:52.599
subscription if you say that till what uh probably the Forum Netflix The Forum

00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:55.640
oh The Forum oh okay so now he has to

00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:57.760
contraction comp or contraction contract

00:56:55.640 --> 00:57:03.359
completed contract completed what are you a Hitman I just I

00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:08.160
I saw video game mechanics in twitch chat and I had to like I was it was like

00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:12.760
Quest acquired say this twice and I was like sure completed the quest contract

00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:16.920
completed he now has to go sign up on the Forum boom done all right so we

00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:20.720
haven't done some of the uh credits for people posting things on the Forum the

00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:25.440
Bony King posted at least one of the bazillion topics on the Forum related to

00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:29.119
the NVIDIA thing Carlos Rex also in there the m night narwhal was in there

00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:34.359
somewhere Sergeant ballistic posted the FCC thing and top war gamer posted this

00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:40.760
next one the original article here is from Venture beat so let's go ahead and

00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:45.400
drop that in the twitch chat we'll drop

00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:45.400
that drop that drop that that Venture

00:57:45.520 --> 00:57:50.160
beat God one thing that's been

00:57:48.640 --> 00:57:57.240
constantly confusing about this article for me is they didn't drop uh Flash no

00:57:54.920 --> 00:58:02.000
but they changed the def fault yeah but like the title is freaking dropped like

00:57:59.799 --> 00:58:05.960
I saw this everywhere before I read it and like the title everywhere is oh they

00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:09.599
dropped Flash and I'm like wow that's a really aggressive move this is going to

00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:13.440
be a lot of like older stuff that's Flash and it's not going to work at all

00:58:11.520 --> 00:58:19.039
it's like how you're intended to read the title yeah how the title actually oh

00:58:16.680 --> 00:58:25.240
wait that by default just like kind of hitched on the back I'm like okay

00:58:21.720 --> 00:58:28.119
sure all right so um this brings with it

00:58:25.240 --> 00:58:33.000
a few sign significant advantages so number one and this is going to be great

00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:34.839
for folks who had their nonb Broadband

00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:39.079
redefined but haven't actually had their speeds increased uh we are going to get

00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:43.760
adaptive bit rate streamings to quickly and seamlessly adjust resolution and bit

00:58:41.160 --> 00:58:49.280
rate depending on the network connection uh media Source extension so oh that was

00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:53.799
what I just said uh the vp9 video Codec will be used Which is higher quality

00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:59.480
video and an average bandwidth decrease of 35%

00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:03.200
um okay encrypted media extension soel lets content providers use a single HTML

00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:07.680
5 video player across a wide range of platforms web RTC so realtime

00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:12.799
communication lets internet users communicate in real

00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:18.200
time oh my God this is amazing uh so using a

00:59:16.720 --> 00:59:21.440
compatible browser from broadcasting tools from within the browser and full

00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:26.520
screen API immersive full screen experiences with a standard HTML

00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:28.920
interface cool so HTML 5 is doing what

00:59:26.520 --> 00:59:34.160
it's supposed to be doing making the web seamless and good and content rich just

00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:37.119
generally better yeah this isn't this might not be new for everyone because I

00:59:35.520 --> 00:59:41.680
know a lot of people have been using uh Force HTML 5 and Firefox for a long time

00:59:39.839 --> 00:59:45.839
and various other Solutions and various other browsers but it's always cool when

00:59:43.680 --> 00:59:48.480
they change defaults y because there's a lot of people that aren't going to

00:59:47.240 --> 00:59:52.400
change the defaults on things and they didn't just change the default on Chrome

00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:57.039
which has been kind of a Google thing it's like Yay the latest experience if

00:59:54.760 --> 01:00:02.359
you use Chrome haha uh they've changed it on Chrome i11 Safari 8 and beta

01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:05.000
versions of Firefox which knowing Firefox that means you'll have it pretty

01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:11.480
soon yeah you know what I was using um uh my

01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:15.880
wife uses Firefox still as her default browser and so I was using her computer

01:00:13.799 --> 01:00:21.359
and I went to search for something and I was like WTF Yahoo search and then I was

01:00:18.200 --> 01:00:23.240
like oh right yeah that it's fine it

01:00:21.359 --> 01:00:28.240
yeah yeah I told you about that I know I didn't I I didn't believe you yes but uh

01:00:25.680 --> 01:00:33.480
but is terrible and like immediately Yahoo is powered by Bing in the back end

01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:39.680
how is this possible mind explosion and Bing is apparently uh why is Bing so

01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:41.599
crap Bing judging by Google Blog which I

01:00:39.680 --> 01:00:46.280
don't really know if is actually Google or not at this point uh is bang is

01:00:44.240 --> 01:00:50.520
apparently stealing from Google but that was a long time ago maybe they're not

01:00:47.720 --> 01:00:54.240
anymore not that long ago and like the the the way that they figured it out was

01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:57.599
actually really good it was like the old cartographer trick thing you put the

01:00:56.039 --> 01:01:01.440
fake town and then you see if other people copy your fake town is the same

01:00:59.359 --> 01:01:04.359
idea they put a completely fake search thing and then they searched it on Bing

01:01:03.240 --> 01:01:08.319
and it came up with the same thing that Google did and it was totally fake it

01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:11.400
was to some like random website that had nothing to do with the string that they

01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:15.119
typed in it was nowhere on the website and then it showed up on Google because

01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:19.400
they Implement implanted it there and it showed up on Bing as well so apparently

01:01:17.359 --> 01:01:24.200
Bing was stealing stuff from Google okay apparently Yahoo officially takes things

01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:25.680
from Bing so like it's all possibly

01:01:24.200 --> 01:01:29.839
flooding down from Google but then the other ones aren't as usable why is it

01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:33.000
that Bing's results are always so bloody useless then I don't know and I

01:01:31.240 --> 01:01:38.640
installed Windows 10 I told you that for a little while Cortana was garbage

01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:43.079
completely ignoring the fact that she like is never able to do anything so

01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:47.359
forcibly opens a new tab and Bing searches it which is the least elegant

01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:51.640
way of doing that like if you don't know the answer please just don't answer or

01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:56.799
tell me that you don't know don't be like I'm going to just open either a new

01:01:54.319 --> 01:02:01.200
window if you don't have one open or and like force it to the front or I'll open

01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:04.440
a new tab force that to the front of everything that you're doing and just

01:02:02.799 --> 01:02:09.000
Bing search it which will never give me the right results but yeah her her

01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:12.000
ability to pick up speech is very bad in my opinion I don't know that was a

01:02:10.200 --> 01:02:16.680
terrible experience but hopefully they fix it hopefully Timmy Tech's watching

01:02:14.200 --> 01:02:20.960
because he was he was not super happy when I was complaining about Cortana but

01:02:18.520 --> 01:02:23.920
it's garbage so there you go there's my there's my overall impression if you

01:02:22.640 --> 01:02:27.559
don't if you want to do anything other than like start playing a random music

01:02:26.160 --> 01:02:32.400
on your computer there's no point in having that's something that you know what's funny is I found after our

01:02:30.520 --> 01:02:36.440
discussion last week about uh voice control and where we got all annoyed

01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:42.680
with each other I'd say that was probably about our fourth best our

01:02:38.680 --> 01:02:44.200
fourth best on camera Tiff um yeah I was

01:02:42.680 --> 01:02:50.000
I was using I think voice control is extremely important yeah yeah yeah I don't want to have will be great the

01:02:47.359 --> 01:02:55.240
point is this week I found myself using it a fair bit and uh and using it for

01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:58.680
things where it was really useful and then using it for things where it was

01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:02.160
totally rubbish and the funny thing about that is one of the experiences I

01:03:00.839 --> 01:03:07.720
had with it where I was just like yeah this is never going to be useful for this was playing music and you were I

01:03:05.799 --> 01:03:11.319
remembered you telling me well no the the the only reason why it was useful

01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:17.279
was you just say hey C Cortana can you play some music well yeah but I could do

01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:17.279
that play Okay Google Play

01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:24.799
Music and it's like here we go I'm going to play music and it's like what what M

01:03:23.319 --> 01:03:27.760
what music are you playing do I do I even want to listen to that oh I don't

01:03:26.319 --> 01:03:32.599
want my twitch stream turned off wait stop okay Google don't play

01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:35.640
music whoa that worked oh no you paus it finger okay I was like holy crap one

01:03:34.799 --> 01:03:40.319
thing that's really annoying with Cortana too is you know how with um like

01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:47.160
Okay Google or Okay Google now yeah it it will hey shut

01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:49.119
up it will hear you and then go like B

01:03:47.160 --> 01:03:52.960
and then you respond to it right like it's it's it hears you lets it lets you

01:03:51.640 --> 01:03:56.960
know that it heard you and then you respond this is how a conversation works

01:03:54.799 --> 01:04:00.680
it's fairly natural with Cortana which is supposed to be like talking to your

01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:05.760
computer you have to communicate like me yeah like yeah there's no there's no

01:04:03.160 --> 01:04:11.799
Gap C to do this yes yeah and if you don't it's like what was that and then

01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:13.799
turns off the mic what are you kidding

01:04:11.799 --> 01:04:17.799
me what was that I'm just not going to listen to you and the thing stays up and

01:04:16.160 --> 01:04:21.279
like the circle stops spitting but just sits there and I'm like are you are you

01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:28.079
are you still listening the next big step for natural interaction with voice

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:30.359
control has to be angry interaction yeah

01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:33.839
shut the hell up and your phone has to stop doing everything it's doing and

01:04:31.799 --> 01:04:37.720
shut up yes that should be a thing when that happens then we'll talk again hey

01:04:36.039 --> 01:04:42.839
Cortana stop that should be like a yeah that

01:04:40.839 --> 01:04:46.240
should work that should definitely work and like there needs there needs to be

01:04:44.520 --> 01:04:50.440
more settings especially for the desktop one because man having it open a window

01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:55.319
or a tab and bringing it to front and being searching something not cool and

01:04:53.240 --> 01:05:00.559
like it again if you if it didn't know the answer I'd be totally fine with that

01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:04.119
if it was like uh sorry I don't know I'd

01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:06.079
be like okay I'll go open a tab and I'll

01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:09.319
freaking thing in when I want it when I want to which is probably not now if I'm

01:05:08.279 --> 01:05:15.920
busy with something and you're going to Bing search the whole point of using voice control was I had stuff to do yes

01:05:13.680 --> 01:05:21.599
yeah like so I'll do that later and I'll use Google so go

01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:25.160
away um politicians are supporting

01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:27.599
Comcast's Time Warner Cable merger with

01:05:25.160 --> 01:05:31.559
letters ghost written by Comcast yay United

01:05:32.240 --> 01:05:39.440
States we should be interesting to be a politician sometimes because

01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:43.720
like the people that are paying you to do things don't even trust you enough to

01:05:41.200 --> 01:05:47.520
do them so they just do it for you so do you actually have to do anything don't

01:05:45.240 --> 01:05:51.400
they have like 33 days off or 33 weeks off couldn't be I don't

01:05:50.240 --> 01:05:56.359
Congress or something has something insane I don't remember what it I don't remember what it is but it's a lot and

01:05:54.520 --> 01:05:59.279
then like when they do decide to actually go to work it's like oh well

01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:04.079
this was Ghost written by someone else so just there you go I'll just sign it and put our official you know letter

01:06:02.640 --> 01:06:08.000
head on it and all that stuff so basically um email correspondence was

01:06:06.520 --> 01:06:12.760
obtained through a public records request so nothing special uh showed

01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:17.960
that the letter from the mayor of Rosewell Georgia was actually written by

01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:22.880
a VP of external Affairs at Comcast the letter was part of what Comcast called

01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:27.680
an outpouring of thoughtful and positive comments about the controversial merger

01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:32.440
um this was money of many letters that were the same or similar in origin and

01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:35.640
neither the corporation nor the states that the officials represent made any

01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:41.920
attempt to notify the public that the corporation had any role in writing the

01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:43.279
letters um so this got me thinking sorry

01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:49.039
I'm going to completely change gears I don't think we really need to have a long conversation about how this is BS

01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:53.240
and needs to not happen so here's what I was

01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:56.760
thinking what if we brought politics

01:06:53.240 --> 01:07:00.119
into the 21st century

01:06:56.760 --> 01:07:04.760
so I run for office just wait I run for

01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:05.960
office buy gas hold on hold on okay I

01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:12.880
just thought you you know the campaign bus you could buy gas for the campaign anyway sorry keep going okay so I run

01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:14.760
for office with the campaign promise

01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:18.839
that every day when I wake up in the morning with the exception of when I go

01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:23.480
to the bathroom or am being intimate with my wife or whatever the case may be

01:07:21.359 --> 01:07:27.799
I wear a GoPro seriously a streaming GoPro a

01:07:26.640 --> 01:07:34.760
streaming GoPro so if anyone wants to know

01:07:31.240 --> 01:07:36.960
anything that I any Shady underhanded

01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:42.880
dealings that I was participating easy though oh I'm with my wife again and

01:07:40.520 --> 01:07:47.200
just go to a meeting okay but I think people were going to figure out that

01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:52.480
like I'm at the office and someone goes bing bong and I'm like oh it's my wife I

01:07:50.680 --> 01:07:55.640
mean that that's inexplicable right there what's my wife doing at work why

01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:59.640
are we having relations in the middle the day at the office well maybe you

01:07:58.240 --> 01:08:02.319
maybe her name is Monica Lewinsky I don't

01:08:02.720 --> 01:08:08.880
yeah I don't know I I have to imagine it would be too easy to get around but it

01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:13.000
is an interesting idea it's completely impractical for a lot of different

01:08:10.839 --> 01:08:16.600
reasons you know there's all the privacy concerns I like what they're doing with

01:08:15.200 --> 01:08:19.480
the the police where they're getting the police to wear the cameras and all that

01:08:18.440 --> 01:08:23.359
kind of stuff I think that's cool I don't know if it makes sense for your

01:08:21.679 --> 01:08:26.520
president for someone like a president obviously not cuz there's a lot of top

01:08:24.799 --> 01:08:30.839
secret stuff but for someone like a municipal official I can't imagine

01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:35.839
they're doing anything top secret I see no reason why people shouldn't have a

01:08:34.080 --> 01:08:41.080
live feed to the conversation we're having about why the toll on this bridge

01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:44.159
is so bloody much and you're doing this other stupid thing with the taxpayers

01:08:42.719 --> 01:08:50.279
money I do think that should be a thing and every like like the municipality of

01:08:48.040 --> 01:08:53.880
whatever on their website they should just have an area where you can click on

01:08:52.040 --> 01:08:58.279
it just has a log of all the videos they just have a YouTube account and just

01:08:55.600 --> 01:09:02.319
every meeting every every Gathering of people that they have just whatever just

01:09:00.080 --> 01:09:06.000
stream it but I I just I was thinking some dude is going to be interesting the

01:09:03.719 --> 01:09:10.279
social media politician would be a really interesting New Concept well the

01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:13.799
social media astronaut is a big deal right now so the social media politician

01:09:12.080 --> 01:09:16.199
would also make a ton of sense and certain politicians have done that to a

01:09:15.080 --> 01:09:21.839
degree some of them have done it a little bit but I think they I think they

01:09:19.080 --> 01:09:25.440
no one's really outed themselves over controversial decisions that they've had

01:09:23.719 --> 01:09:29.880
to make or they've been involved in whereas I think the true social media

01:09:27.440 --> 01:09:32.480
politician would have to just say and and you know what they'd end up they'd

01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:36.960
end up getting kicked out immediately like we knew this was going to happen but it would be an interesting

01:09:34.839 --> 01:09:40.440
experiment because it would be like you know blah blah blah had this

01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:44.400
conversation blah blah blah obviously doesn't understand the issue and then

01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:48.759
the next day you know when it turns out that other person was right they'd have to be yep turns out you know I was

01:09:47.440 --> 01:09:53.400
completely wrong this like if we actually had a stream of Consciousness

01:09:50.920 --> 01:09:56.920
feed that'd be interesting I actually wouldn't mind that because one thing

01:09:54.960 --> 01:10:00.719
that I think is a little all right apparently Rand Paul is doing this who

01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:04.760
the devil is Rand Paul got to be American that's an American yeah yeah

01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:08.960
some dude said that he's going to sign up as a contributor to The Forum for a

01:10:06.440 --> 01:10:14.719
year if I say AMD eats NVIDIA so I just said that thanks for your wow that you

01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:21.040
you could be a politician Contrition you know yeah I don't know that could work I

01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:24.120
could rally for more internet and better

01:10:21.040 --> 01:10:25.960
better computer Labs and high schools

01:10:24.120 --> 01:10:31.239
and yeah stuff like that investment less into

01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:36.960
Hollywood and more tweets fake phone call between Jeb Bush and someone fake

01:10:34.040 --> 01:10:42.560
phone call that wasn't I think really what we meant by all of

01:10:39.480 --> 01:10:45.280
this slams Bush hypocrisy on something

01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:49.440
something anyway um I think I think the the like the video feed of meetings

01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:54.199
would be really interesting like if we could if we could just see what complete

01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:57.239
idiots a lot of these people are um I think that would heavily affect

01:10:57.480 --> 01:11:04.719
voting all right so let's move on uh Cooler Master is doing the case mod

01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:08.159
World Series and this was it's actually you know what's really funny is the most

01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:14.159
unusual thing about the case mod World Series was

01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:17.120
um I I keep like someone that I used to

01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:20.199
work with at ocz started like favoring my tweets and replying to stuff that I

01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:26.000
was saying all of a sudden I was like what the what the devil does Jess want all of a sudden we haven't talked in

01:11:23.280 --> 01:11:29.920
like 2 years and uh and it turns out that ocz is one of the sponsors of the

01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:33.080
case mod World Series I was like oh okay she's following the stuff that I'm

01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:38.159
saying about this so what's cool about this is that you've got about a week to

01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:40.199
enter so not a whole lot of time but

01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:44.719
unlike a lot of the other modding contests where it's like yeah we've got

01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:50.080
great prizes of Hardware that the top modders have unlimited access to uh this

01:11:47.480 --> 01:11:53.880
one has some prizes provided by Dremel which is a little unusual like tool

01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:57.480
companies get involved in like car modding stuff but generally not in

01:11:56.040 --> 01:12:00.760
computering stuff so this is like a whole other level of acknowledgement

01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:04.600
that's super cool the community's never seen Dremel is a big deal in the PC

01:12:03.040 --> 01:12:07.719
Community but like the fact that they're acknowledging that they're a big deal in

01:12:06.080 --> 01:12:11.239
PC Community is actually kind of cool that's really neat and the other really

01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:15.920
cool thing about this one is anyone can register and unlike most case moding

01:12:13.679 --> 01:12:20.199
competitions that I've seen um there are different tiers so you don't have to

01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:24.480
compete against heavyweights if you're a beginner modder so um so yeah you guys

01:12:22.840 --> 01:12:30.120
should check it out how do the tear work it's mod. coolermaster decom I think

01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:34.679
there's about $25,000 in prizes uh up to

01:12:30.120 --> 01:12:38.320
$2,000 cash prize so first place X1

01:12:34.679 --> 01:12:41.760
second place X1 Tower builds uh scratch

01:12:38.320 --> 01:12:43.679
build people's choice Rising Star so

01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:47.560
there's a new category where our judges select the most promising young star in

01:12:45.679 --> 01:12:52.679
the modding scene so someone who's relatively unknown very very cool so

01:12:51.480 --> 01:12:56.960
there you go there's a bunch of cool stuff mod. master.com

01:12:55.400 --> 01:13:02.920
they've got the winners from last year this isn't the first time they've done it it's sponsored by Intel ASUS Cooler

01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:07.040
Master presumably although this is funny they're logo is not down

01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:12.760
here I mean they have one up here but like sponsored by and Cooler Master is

01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:16.080
not on your Cooler Master case mod World Series sponsored by these guys hey we're

01:13:14.719 --> 01:13:19.920
a media partner that's cool Nick does all kinds

01:13:18.400 --> 01:13:24.560
of things some days I'm not sure what it is

01:13:22.440 --> 01:13:31.000
but you're not the First Media partner no apparently bit tech.net is first damn

01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:31.000
you

01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:38.360
bitn bit man then I said dot neck we're

01:13:36.360 --> 01:13:43.960
not doing great right now did you have another one of those

01:13:40.679 --> 01:13:43.960
weeks bit

01:13:44.040 --> 01:13:50.840
neck no actually oh that makeup uh

01:13:48.440 --> 01:13:55.199
pirate B staff kicked from the website no one caught that one now in Revolt

01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:58.840
well I did I show up to the office and he's getting

01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:04.040
he's getting our makeup artist who's actually here to make us up as Paul and

01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:08.360
Kyle applying makeup to his neck I'm like gee I'm sure glad you're using

01:14:05.440 --> 01:14:11.159
company resources for your covering up your personal

01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:18.679
time all right so go watch this and just be like

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:25.920
a so this article is from Torrent freak.com Pirate Bay won't make a full

01:14:22.440 --> 01:14:27.960
comeback staff revolt so basically some

01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:32.600
admins and mods on the Pirate Bay are butt hurt we've decided that word is

01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:34.719
okay to use over the fact that um they

01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:38.960
basically have been shown the door with the new lighter Pirate Bay that figures

01:14:37.239 --> 01:14:45.840
it doesn't need a whole lot of Staff in order to do its thing yes and as someone

01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:48.600
who at least knows the administrator for

01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:52.719
a fairly popular but not nearly as well trafficked as the piratebay.com orse or

01:14:51.080 --> 01:14:58.360
whatever it is they're doing these days site I will say that they are probably

01:14:55.880 --> 01:15:02.520
right yeah although I'm sure they're like comment moderation wait wrong

01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:05.639
they're probably wrong that they don't need people that's what I meant to say

01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:10.040
yes yeah yeah I'm sure their like comment moderation and stuff is not

01:15:07.760 --> 01:15:14.440
really like I bet you most of those guys are mainly focused on just keeping the

01:15:11.719 --> 01:15:20.360
website alive more than anything like I bet you it's it's slightly different

01:15:16.040 --> 01:15:22.280
than what we do so basically um the the

01:15:20.360 --> 01:15:25.679
guys that are splitting off are going to make their own site with Blackjack and

01:15:24.120 --> 01:15:31.760
hookers presumably and uh basically they have a backup of the

01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:36.360
Pirate Bay site before it went offline and they're just going to start their

01:15:33.480 --> 01:15:44.320
own thing the the seemingly lead guy behind it the WTC swe is very openly

01:15:41.400 --> 01:15:49.560
very mad yeah something along the L pretty golden quotes horse plop or

01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:53.840
something yeah you know Brandon do you know the number of

01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:58.080
times I've had the conversation with him about how bleeping works online as Tech

01:15:55.639 --> 01:16:01.080
tips he left the word h [ __ ] I know in one of our episodes recently he's like

01:16:00.040 --> 01:16:07.239
well I didn't know I was supposed to bleep that whereas he bleeped ass in the

01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:10.760
Stormtrooper rap and I'm just like TV

01:16:07.239 --> 01:16:14.040
rules Man TV rules you watch TV he's

01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:16.120
like I watch HBO and I'm like but one am

01:16:14.040 --> 01:16:20.480
I one of I I still don't understand this about our censorship which you think is

01:16:18.199 --> 01:16:23.360
okay I still don't okay we're going to straw pull this cuz I know where you're

01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:28.239
going I'm going to straw pull this if you're if you're saying a word

01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:33.400
and like let's say it's f u c k and you say you you can fully hear someone say

01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:38.719
you can fully hear someone say F and then you hear them start the U like uh

01:16:37.159 --> 01:16:42.960
and then they drag it out for a long time and you bleep and then the bleep

01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:51.159
goes away before the U is done being said so f u uh bleep uh c k so you def

01:16:49.320 --> 01:16:56.080
obvious what you said you definitely hear every single part of the word there

01:16:54.080 --> 01:17:00.280
is zero if you cut out the bleep it is the full

01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:04.639
word and it was pronounced remember we're talking a one syllable word here

01:17:02.440 --> 01:17:08.520
in this case where it's like okay so here here's the straw pull guys so we're

01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:12.280
talking a one syllable word so but you're not even you're you're if you

01:17:10.480 --> 01:17:15.920
have the the sound of the first letter and the sound of the last letter there's

01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:20.800
it's obviously going to be clear what you were intending to say which I

01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:25.360
maintain is is the correct type of censorship because you're not actually

01:17:23.040 --> 01:17:30.679
trying to take away the meaning of what the person's saying you are just trying

01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:34.440
to make it so you didn't word like the U or the c or or both I mean like you

01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:37.960
didn't even chop out the middle of the word you didn't even fully chop out one

01:17:36.480 --> 01:17:43.760
letter well I think the issue with the one that you're all butur about is that

01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:48.639
it was a beep over top of the audio track instead of cutting the audio track

01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:53.280
during the beep so that's part of why you could hear it so very well okay I'm

01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:57.639
talking about more than one but that is probably that was probably the the one

01:17:55.159 --> 01:18:01.960
that me to start talking about it yeah it looks like people are divided 5050 on

01:17:59.679 --> 01:18:07.239
this issue well see so we're both right are exactly aligned with how we should

01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:11.400
be part of this is I bet you some people are saying that it oh bleep middle of

01:18:09.719 --> 01:18:16.280
the word bleep the whole word yeah see I bet you the people that are saying bleep the middle of the word again it's not

01:18:15.120 --> 01:18:21.440
you're not bleeping the middle of the word that's part of the problem you you

01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:24.600
you didn't bleep out a whole letter yeah like like there was it it was not

01:18:23.280 --> 01:18:29.120
effectively bleeped at all and then there's some people that are going to argue that it just shouldn't be bleeped

01:18:27.040 --> 01:18:32.880
and like there's yeah I left that out because I was more interested in how it

01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:36.280
should be bleeped as opposed to that you know the I think we can all see a lot of

01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:42.360
people in chat are saying no bleep and like that that has its own Merit but I'm saying if you're going to anyways you

01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:46.080
might as well do it effectively instead of just but not cutting any I would make

01:18:44.719 --> 01:18:49.639
the opposite argument you might as well not do it effectively because I don't

01:18:48.199 --> 01:18:55.560
think we need to censor the word anyway if you're going to say the word say the word and to me the bleep is like the

01:18:53.199 --> 01:19:00.440
bleep is like appeasing the censorship deities that's all it is uh okay see if

01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:03.000
that's the goal then that's fine then that's fine goal that's all I want to do

01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:08.880
cuz I don't really care about the censorship stuff either and but I think we can all agree the wrong way to do it

01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:14.880
is the way we did it on Stormtrooper rap where the music it cuts the that was not

01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:19.040
how that was no was I know why there were time constraints yeah yeah

01:19:17.040 --> 01:19:22.600
basically I know why it was a problem but yeah that wasn't that wasn't the

01:19:20.440 --> 01:19:28.440
right way to do that that was a draft that was a draft of the song that was

01:19:24.800 --> 01:19:32.320
was never the finished version yeah um

01:19:28.440 --> 01:19:35.400
wow we have a lot of stuff left does

01:19:32.320 --> 01:19:37.840
does any of it matter yeah um The

01:19:35.400 --> 01:19:41.000
Witcher 3 stuff is all kind of bull why don't we just do kind of headlines sure

01:19:39.920 --> 01:19:49.679
so there's new evidence of Counter-Strike Global Offensive match fixing not surprising so basically CSG

01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:52.000
go is a gigantic pile of garbage right

01:19:49.679 --> 01:19:56.000
now in the competitive scene and we should all be completely ignoring it

01:19:54.159 --> 01:20:01.120
because there's match fixing there's cheating at the very highest level and

01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:05.760
until valve can get their game figured out basically quit yeah until the

01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:09.840
tournament organizers can figure out how to fix this it just needs to completely

01:20:07.840 --> 01:20:12.920
go away and all these people involved in this crap need to stop making money

01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:16.600
which is a real shame because for the honest players out there this is their

01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:21.520
livelihoods that are being damaged by the actions of others which is UN out

01:20:19.040 --> 01:20:26.480
there I mean it's it's kind of like if honest YouTubers like us that are making

01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:30.960
a living by making YouTube videos um all of a sudden have the credibility of

01:20:28.719 --> 01:20:34.760
YouTube as a platform damaged by other people who are I mean I can't imagine

01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:40.679
what you could do on YouTube that would be equivalent to this but but it it's

01:20:37.679 --> 01:20:42.280
totally unfair and it's crappy but until

01:20:40.679 --> 01:20:45.320
people vote with their wallets and just don't watch and just don't get involved

01:20:44.080 --> 01:20:51.360
it's not going to go away uh so that was posted on the Forum

01:20:47.800 --> 01:20:54.600
by Rahi Kumar SP speaking of Rahi Kumar

01:20:51.360 --> 01:20:56.639
SP he also post posted that Bill Gates

01:20:54.600 --> 01:21:01.159
tricked Jimmy Fallon into drinking poop water which is a bit sensationalist as

01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:04.040
far as headlines go but this is a great segment and we're just going to play it

01:21:02.440 --> 01:21:07.600
for you guys it's awesome hopefully CH it down a little

01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:14.280
bit it's yeah yeah yeah it's like four minutes I'm going to skip to the uh the stunning conclusion so basically um

01:21:11.719 --> 01:21:20.199
Bill's talking or Mr Gates is talking about um hold on we have to get the

01:21:16.280 --> 01:21:22.920
Princess Bride uh sequence in here um so

01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:27.920
is talking about this water purification system where um it's inexpensive and

01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:34.679
produces both electricity and clean water from sewage so um Mr Gates

01:21:31.719 --> 01:21:40.000
challenges Mr Fallon here to choose whichever glass he prefers one of which

01:21:37.320 --> 01:21:44.040
he says has poop water and one of which has regular bottled water so oh you

01:21:42.639 --> 01:21:47.600
can't oh you can't see that he's not looking he's just like look I don't I

01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:52.560
don't I don't I don't know I I trust you to be a good person and give me the

01:21:49.040 --> 01:21:54.760
glass with the with the non poop water

01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:57.560
yeah so they both drink I'm going to turn the audio on

01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:05.440
here what do you think which one did you

01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:06.880
get making sure that you drank it all

01:22:05.440 --> 01:22:11.600
right no no I I I this one actually tasted pretty good you just drank yours

01:22:12.719 --> 01:22:20.639
cheers you watched this right I actually didn't oh it's great wow I didn't just

01:22:18.679 --> 01:22:25.719
cuz I I I knew what the conclusion was going to be but I probably should watch

01:22:22.880 --> 01:22:29.679
I'm pretty confident that that was this was the bottle of water I

01:22:28.080 --> 01:22:34.560
didn't realize I did a spr thing which is really was all all poop

01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:40.000
water so there you go guys the whole thing the whole thing was poop water um

01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:44.679
always falls off his chair he does that like all the

01:22:41.679 --> 01:22:46.960
time uh but basically it tastes fine

01:22:44.679 --> 01:22:51.960
it's perfectly safe looks absolutely fantastic um Mr Gates wants to get this

01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:55.040
rolled out in Africa as widely and as quickly as

01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:58.520
possible um it's much much less expensive I mean

01:22:57.040 --> 01:23:02.320
it's not like technology doesn't exist like this already today I mean it's it's space station where do you think they're

01:23:01.120 --> 01:23:10.800
getting water from recycling uh your TAP where do you think

01:23:06.400 --> 01:23:13.239
you're getting water from recycling so

01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:18.199
just I mean it's not a new idea it's just this new inexpensive omn processor

01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:21.800
way is uh I know someone who works at a water recycling planted BCS less

01:23:20.080 --> 01:23:25.360
expensive who does I know someone who does you don't know them yeah probably

01:23:23.360 --> 01:23:30.639
gross yeah gross me out to see what they're doing but it is what it is I've

01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:33.199
been near their work disgusting yeah

01:23:30.639 --> 01:23:37.880
yeah doesn't smell good what else we got Witcher three footage is out obvious

01:23:35.120 --> 01:23:41.639
texture downgrade from the old videos so uh this was posted by death Jester on

01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:47.320
the for that's a great name for someone posting about something like this yes

01:23:44.320 --> 01:23:50.320
it's like serious joke

01:23:47.320 --> 01:23:51.880
there's there's a lot of like okay just

01:23:50.320 --> 01:23:55.159
just don't pre-order it like you shouldn't have anyways and just wait

01:23:53.639 --> 01:24:00.080
till it comes out we'll figure it out then feel like a

01:23:58.080 --> 01:24:03.480
broken record sometimes just trying to get like the rumor stuff to just like

01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:07.120
shut up and wait till they figure it out and trying to get this to just just just

01:24:05.320 --> 01:24:11.440
shut up and wait till it comes out don't pre-order it don't buy it right now

01:24:09.639 --> 01:24:15.360
don't do any of that junk just freaking wait till it comes out we'll figure it

01:24:12.679 --> 01:24:18.239
out down sampling is not going to be or Uber sampling sorry is not going to be

01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:22.560
there when the game releases that'll be a big deal once it's available um it's

01:24:20.639 --> 01:24:29.199
freaking CD project red so there's going to be DLC like crazy for free um after

01:24:26.199 --> 01:24:30.840
it's out so like don't pre-order it and

01:24:29.199 --> 01:24:35.480
probably don't even buy it right away just wait they are saying that the uh

01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:40.360
the minimum the recommended settings are targeted at 30 FPS but they don't say

01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:44.199
it'll be locked to that and I really can't imagine it would be from those

01:24:41.800 --> 01:24:46.960
guys and they're not saying PC and console will look the same just that

01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:51.600
they'll be based on the same starting point so I think this is a lot of freaking out over nothing and I think

01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:54.480
what they're probably doing is just demoing the same version across the

01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:58.639
board so they're not setting un realistic expectations for the users of

01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:05.000
one platform versus another one which as far as marketing things go is pretty

01:25:01.520 --> 01:25:08.239
benign it's fine just wait till it comes

01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:09.639
out it doesn't matter oh my God I know

01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:13.639
so many people have been freaking out and my general message so far has been

01:25:11.679 --> 01:25:18.080
it's very possibly a lost and translation thing cuz he said something

01:25:16.080 --> 01:25:22.719
that sounded kind of like it could be taken poorly so one just exploded over

01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:28.920
it but it's probably just an equalization for expectation like he was

01:25:25.040 --> 01:25:31.000
talking about and you'll if you have a

01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:34.119
NASA supercomputer you'll probably be able to run it great it's a CD project

01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:37.280
Red game so for the first little while that it's out it'll be very hard to run

01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:41.199
and then better Hardware will come out and it'll be totally fine um but yeah

01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:46.800
just a little more reason to wait and buy it later yes uh so our next our next

01:25:44.560 --> 01:25:52.679
topic here oh for crying out loud this is really making me mad now that I have

01:25:49.360 --> 01:25:55.560
to uh now that I have to open it and

01:25:52.679 --> 01:25:58.960
then copy the link from URL bar of my new town this is why I used to do it for

01:25:57.320 --> 01:26:06.520
you is I thought you were doing this cuz that's what I was doing it takes so long

01:26:02.760 --> 01:26:09.560
ah okay so next one's this is uh Intel's

01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:11.080
y gig 7 gbit per second wireless docking

01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:18.080
Tech that looks pretty freaking awesome you know a fair Mo about this cuz you did the laptop thing at CES right this

01:26:14.040 --> 01:26:21.159
was posted by a Ming on the Forum and oh

01:26:18.080 --> 01:26:22.719
that site is not a thing anymore or that

01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:27.040
article uh this was actually we were going to talk about this last week and

01:26:24.440 --> 01:26:29.960
we didn't get to it yeah but you have firsthand experience with this right no

01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:36.880
I haven't tried it Oh I thought you had a I thought you tried a laptop with this so it's very short range 60 GHz and

01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:42.880
delivers up to 7 gbit per second and basically like by short range we mean

01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:45.400
like short range like within sort of

01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:50.480
your your desk um but the idea is that you'll be able to run things like

01:26:47.159 --> 01:26:53.960
displays peripherals even highspeed USB

01:26:50.480 --> 01:26:55.280
devices wirelessly as long as you are

01:26:53.960 --> 01:27:02.080
close close enough to your docking station so this would be like a triple

01:26:57.440 --> 01:27:05.000
Band Wi-Fi 2.45 and 60 GHz where the 60

01:27:02.080 --> 01:27:12.520
gz would be used for this uh y gig docking technology truly wire free in

01:27:09.639 --> 01:27:18.880
the triband AC 17265 um Wireless module so you've got

01:27:15.480 --> 01:27:21.119
your fast AC you've got your 802.11 a y

01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:24.159
gig and any laptop tablet or twoin one featuring this technology is already set

01:27:22.760 --> 01:27:30.480
up to seamlessly pair with a DOT featuring an Intel wireless gigabit sync

01:27:27.199 --> 01:27:32.520
cool pretty freaking I'd love to test

01:27:30.480 --> 01:27:38.080
this out yeah me too I really want to try this yeah yeah yeah um let me just

01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:43.199
see it can auto dock with your Dev with your desktop wirelessly

01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:48.280
uh yeah I guess that's pretty much it can support up to two full HD displays

01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:52.159
so we're talking like two 1080p monitors can you can just wirelessly dock with

01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:58.480
them and I their claiming latency is very low so pretty exciting I'm

01:27:56.080 --> 01:28:03.600
excited Ireland apparently will accept selfies for passport photos it's not

01:28:00.719 --> 01:28:07.960
it's it's like a kind of more of a local tra uh travel thing and within the EU

01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:12.440
thing it's not like a full world passport so it's a passport like ID card

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.880
