are we live are we
live I think we might
be okay I'm going to wait for the twitch chat to catch up with me a little bit
we're going to see we're going to see if it's working you notice this isn't this
isn't uh the office you can kind of tell
this time that it's not pre-recorded I know you guys like saying that it's
pre-recorded not this time my friends not this time we're at my house um I
have neumonia I have a sinus infection
and I have a muscle issue with my neck
but I'm here also you can look it up in
the news there's a storm coming through BC and that is taking out the power in a
ton of different places and the power at
work is not working
at all not not going not not going great
so we lost power at work hours ago and
that was terrible I can see twitch chat it's easier to monitor twitch chat on my
own setup I'll I'll give my setup that it's doing doing well that way
um there will probably be coughs on this show again pneumonia so sorry I'm going
to say sorry about that already um lonus
is not going to be with me today I was going to co-host with Nick or Colton or
Taran or something like that um but I was diagnosed with pneumonia today and
we figured out I don't I didn't know like anything about it so apparently uh
my drugs um are still not going to make
me non-contagious for another couple days so I don't want to sit next to
someone so it's just me and we're at my
house because I don't want to go to someone else's house and get bacteria
everywhere and be all gross I was going to go to Nick's place cuz Nick has this
like nice looking couch and this cool like clock on the wall and stuff instead
of like my spare computer and my kitchen
um so yeah we're here wano's
happening topics uh there's uh the
world's largest solar project uh Samsung
is offering Note 7 owners $100 when they turn in their phone but stay with
Samsung I'm sure they're having a lot of troubles there those are the only two
news topics we have this is going to be a great week don't worry about it it's
going to be good um there's also the hyperloop one and Dubai future
accelerators uh they're building a hyperloop for
cargo and the LCD transparent side panel
that you guys saw a while ago actually
no this one is going on in NZXT h440
it's going to be available for pre-order so no one should buy it and they should
wait for it to actually come out because that's how pre-orders work anyways roll
the intro hope it
works Squarespace
crash books and Ma Welden which is why I have
this Super Fly shirt on instead of my
like usual Garb if you want to call it
that no bugs and on time we were almost on time we were not completely on time I
was all set up and ready to go but I'm not going to exactly tell you what it is
we have this new security system so I couldn't actually stream on the Linus
Tech account I was able to stream on the test account if you guys saw that so it
was like it was good we were ready but yeah we were we were a few minutes late
but pretty close it's pretty good so
yeah first one we're going to talk about actually
no let's take a second and talk about something that happened last week I got
called out lonus got called out I'm going to address this right here I'm going to post this in the comments which
is actually someone's Reddit comment I know you guys are going to be like a
what oh what um zaga
932 pointed out that we did some pretty [ __ ] coverage I mean wait I'm used to
being able to swear in this area usually on my stream I'm allowed to swear um um
um we did some pretty not very good coverage of
uh um the Oculus topic from last week so
we we basically said that Oculus was just like you can use cheaper computers
cuz we want to sell more headsets and I am sure that that is still part of the
problem or part of what's going on but
there was actually new software Tech that came out called asynchronous space
warp so I'm going to play this real quick and hope that this works is there
anything crazy on screen can I share my screen I think so uh okay let's watch
new resources AMD has implemented support for a new feature that will make
VR accessible and enjoyable to more people than ever before it's called
asynchronous space warp or ASW ASW works
by comparing previously rendered frames to detect motion between them and using
that information to extrapolate the position of scene components in the next
frame if you recognize this they've kind of done this for other things in other
ways AMD has done this kind of stuff before for uh mov movies I believe it
was or pictures or something reprojected frames to more accurately approximate
how they would look if they had been fully rendered combined with the
existing asynchronous Time Warp and quick response CU features asynchronous
space warp helps enable an incredibly smooth and comfortable VR can we all
talk for for a moment about how monotone
this dude's voice is our experience at a price more
accessible than ever before on AMD CP
and VR capable at a price more acceptable than ever before on AMD CPUs
and AMD capable gpus anyways um it it's
it it makes it so that you can have a lower frame rate but still get to 90fps
because of space warp Tech kind of filling in the gaps so it doesn't feel
quite so bad I need to check in with Nick to make sure there isn't like major
problems with the stream what is going on right now I'm getting so many
messages
oh oh
no I really hope this is recording
locally I didn't check that part before I went
live uh hold up is this going to kill the
Stream
I think we're going to be restarting the stream
now okay
bye oh
what I thought it would carry that setting over but I really don't think it
did
okay give me a second let me make sure it's not actually doing
this I it might it might be locally
recording that would suck so much come
on now please do it for
me what is this it might
be what is this
okay no I think we're good I think we're good I think it's
recording I think we're
fine this was created at
434 yeah
yeah we're okay it's been recording locally the whole time nobody needs to
freak out one problem though is I didn't
film a YouTube intro thing
um I literally just lost internet though oh Nick doesn't have
Internet it's a mess everything's a mess
don't worry about it we're going to continue the show anyways sorry about
the asynchronous time warp thing if you guys are interested in that Tech I don't
want to go like way too far into it but we did screw up our coverage last week
check out that Reddit thread that I posted in the chat and if you missed
that earlier check out the AR arive the thread link should be there with a
timestamp and you guys can check that out he Z zaga posted a ton of
information if you want to see how it works and blah blah blah blah blah and
it's all very well laid out there so please check that out should be easy to
do um next topic first actual topic I
guess we will check out the world's largest solar project it's apparently
going to generate electricity 24 hours a day which is pretty interesting it will
power 1 million us homes which I believe
is comparable to a nuclear power plant
which is actually pretty freaking Wicked
um let's see here give me one second if you guys want to see
it check this thing out that is
ginormous 110 megawatt I believe that
says oh no holy crap I don't know why it
says the 110 MW
when it says it would generate between 100 1,500 and 2,000 megawatt of power
enough to power about 1 million homes
that amount of power is as much as a nuclear power plant or the 2,000 megaw
Hoover Dam so they're trying to compare to the Hoover
Dam looking at how legendary the Hoover freaking dam is that's pretty cool when
it's a solar power plant looks like they found somewhere
pretty flat out in a desert kind of area and they're going with a spiral kind of
deal it looks really
cool that's quite awesome5 billion
Sandstone project very
awesome 100,000 mirrored Helio stats
captures the sun rays and concentrates it into 10 Towers equipped with a molten
salt energy Sol storage system the molten salt heated to more than 1,000°
then boils water and creates a steam turbine that can drive generators
247 that actually makes tons of sense I
get that at first I was like okay it's
solar how how are you generating power 24 hours a day I'm confused but now I I
sort of get it so yeah $5 billion pretty
expensive construction probably won't begin for another two or three years so
I guess that's a concept picture once construction begins Smith estimated the
project would create about 3,000 jobs
for about seven years so once it's up there probably won't be nearly 3,000
people working on it but 3,000 construction jobs for it to go up for a
little while uh would be great yes I'm
getting confused cuz now I can actively always see chat and that's not how it
usually goes on W show and there's so many freaking trolls like someone just
said said stream down in all capital letters and I was like oh no what did I
do wrong but then other people are actively talking about what I'm talking
about so I guess it's fine okay so that picture is of an
existing 10 times smaller installation so it's going to be 10 times bigger than
that picture was that's pretty awesome the company will also have to build a
new transmission infrastructure to carry the energy to Market which kind of makes
sense um and the generated power will likely be exported to the California
Market which also kind of makes sense
not too surprising uh two potential sites on Federal Land in NY County have
been shortlisted and some environmentalists are concerned about
the environmental impact of such a project um I imagine it would be
possibly relatively hard for things to grow under the solar panels yada y but
if you're going out in the middle of the desert at the same time
environmentalists being more worried about the environmental impact of a
solar plant compared to a nuclear plant
is something new as as far as I
know kind of kind of thought kind of thought that wasn't too much of a thing
not entirely sure but yeah clicking noise that's my chair I'm sorry look how
broken my chair is if I just lean watch you can see the the tops of my chair if
I just lean the chair just goes with me it's not supposed to that's not a
feature it's broken it's it's I have a terrible chair
I'm I'm working on it I'm trying to pick a new one but buying an actually
ergonomic chair is actually somewhat of a problem anyways Note 7 owners Samsung
to Note 7 owners here's a $100 for your phone this is a CNET article let me open
it up here really
quick U so they're saying that Samsung will give you $100 credit at carrier or
retail outlets who turn in their Note 7 but actually get another Samsung phone I
think the big problem that Samsung is happening right now the Agents of
NCIS no no autoplay audio ad CET That is rude I
don't have ad block on because I'm trying to be a nice person and you're
being a jerk anyways back to CET um so
yeah I think they're having problems with people buying like Apple phones or
whatever else after turning in their Note 7 and uh so they're trying to give
people 100 bucks I believe before they were giving people 25 bucks the title of
the this article um oh see in the dock it says Samsung to
Note 7 owners here's $100 for your phone
and then the title here is Samsung to Note 7 owners here's an extra $100 for
your phone that's a huge difference I
don't know if that was a copying problem or something but that's a huge
difference when I first read the title of this article before reading the notes
I was like what cuz I was pretty sure that
Samsung was trying to buy back their users and trying to buy back confidence
and stuff so I it's like why would they be cheaping the [ __ ] out of people they
are not what they're trying to do is if you turn in your Note 7 but still decide
to stay with Samsung they're trying to give you an extra hundred bucks so that
it can help incentivize that whole thing not super surprising so they're saying
that the offer comes after Samsung and the US consumer product safety
commission once again issued a recall for the Note 7 because it was blowing up
again
sorry for the coughing for the people that didn't notice uh or weren't here
for the beginning sorry I have pneumonia so there will be some coughing today
um the replacement units for the Note 7 were recalled as well so that was kind
of a problem um Samsung confirmed that
it had killed off half of the Note 7 and
warned consumers to power down and turn off their phones brutal I guess they
okay so they had remotely killed off that makes sense it's kind of scary that
they have that possibility uh when when
when they were open about the fact that they could Nerf your battery
remotely that I found interesting uh
when Samsung was talking about um how
they would Nerf people's battery down to like I think it was 65% of its total
actual capacity or something like that steam notifications oh man oh I can't
fix that uh uh I wait I have a solution
Boop there problem solved now no one can trol
me that way okay anyways um this isn't
super surprising uh I think it's
it's nice
um yeah people customers that opt for a
full refund and I think decide to go to another brand yeah like
customers who switch to another brand they still get the $25 that was
originally offered so if you decide to stick with Samsung I believe you get an
extra 75 so you get a total of $100 but
if you refund your phone and go with anybody you still get an extra 25 bucks
I think that's kind of cool I know everyone got sort of [ __ ]
over I got to watch my language I'm used to be able to like run my mouth a little
bit when I'm at home but no this is the way show come on now um but yeah it's
you did get a little bit screwed over you had to return your phone you had this phone that was going to possibly
try to kill you and whatever whatever
um but I don't know they're trying to do
something I just can't imagine them giving that much money back to every
single person if they were trying to do like a 100 to everyone that was even
jumping Shi to Apple that seems like a huge hit to
them I'm not sure we will see I keep on
getting distracted by the WAN chat usually when I'm at this computer the
chat isn't going this quickly because it's my little show anyways um there
isn't a ton to say for either of these topics and we're already into rapid fire
I think that's the fastest I've ever gotten into rapid fire cuz there was
only two main topics and both of them were extremely short for the people that
just tuned in no this is not LT there is
a huge like Monumental storm running
through BC right now um you can look it up on the news it's a big deal um and
the power at the office is gone so we had to stream somewhere I have pneumonia
and a sinus infection and like a few other things my body's going cray cray
right now so I'm infectious so I can't be near other people so I couldn't
stream with other people the plan was originally that we're going to stream
from Nick's house cuz he has like a nice looking background and stuff like that
mine's kind of junky anyways whatever
um and so but then I got diagnosed and
we were like okay it's probably not a good idea so now I'm streaming from home
this is actually where I normally stream from but I don't normally stream with my
camera this big so people can't normally see like that it's a random spare
computer setup in like my kitchen
anyways um yeah so we're here W show is
still happening yeah share it get lots of views anyways moving on uh hyperloop
one and Dubai future accelerators we'll build the first hyperloop for cargo
let's actually use just the tech crunch
article here so I'll post that in
chat give me one second I want to clean up these tabs it is a little annoying
doing W show by yourself because there's just so many little extra things to do
anyways uh Dubai future accelerators has created uh has been created by the UAE
alongside seven government entities committing to piloting cuttingedge
Technologies for the country DFA is an
initiative of the Dubai Future Foundation and part of the federal
endowment fund worth $275 million it's
designed to invest in an innovation which will shape the future of the uae's
industrial sectors including Transportation so they're trying to move
cargo that sort of makes sense there will be a 12-week program which has
taken over 2,000 applications from 73 countries less than 1% of the
applications were selected over 30 companies have been selected to take
part of the program and this includes the hyperloop one so there's a video of
the hyperloop 1 Dubai which we are going to watch here
give me one second
here we go we're on our way to Dubai where we're going to have our first resy
for installing
H when you have the best team in the world and a badass product it's you just
know it's going to
happen this is the wall room
what is the this is the War Room hold up come on they've got like fancy drapes
and a big chandelier and stuff and it's like like what is this where are they
right now is this some like estate
house why are they in like an
office there's like two quick put up whiteboards in like some weird thing in
the corner what I don't know so weird ad
block this is an ad block what are you guys even talking about there's an oh
that's not an ad Oh I thought it was anyways I don't have ad block on here so
whatever yo this is last pass not ad block get over
yourself all right Expo 2020 wait is
that a thing that would be cool
hey we're in the tallest building hey there's sand why don't you show us
anything about hyperloop this is the most useless video
ever hey we have a tablet it's not when
anymore it's it's happening now God I am so sorry that I showed you
guys that video I am so sorry that I played that
on stream cuz that was literally 100%
useless I just wasted 1 minute and 1 second plus
the amount of time that I made fun of the room that they were in of all of
your lives because that was literally completely
useless I apologize moving on uh I have
nothing more to say about that because my notes were done and that video was
completely useless so we're going to move on to the LCD transparent side
panel that is now available for pre-order which none of you should do um
because pre-orders are dumb
but oh that's loud please don't autoplay
music on your website that makes me want to suggest not pre-ordering even more
but there you go There's the link to I believe uh Frost
wolf let me share my screen here for a
second there we go frostwolf gaming
series it's gaming 100% if you guys
could read that bit it's pretty small text and it's light gray on a white
background uh multitasking 100% rendering
95% oh
yeah yay now I've been thinking about doing a
like how to do one of these on your own
kind of videos for a while would you guys be interested in that a lot of my
DIY videos don't get a ton of views
let's do oh we can do a straw okay give me a
second
strawley um make a
DIY transparent LCD side panel
video yes
no turn it
drum uh improve spam prevention sure
let's do that that that sounds fun all right guys
vote so like it looks really sick and
the case they're showing it off here is the h440 I believe from NZXT it looks a
I think it looks very cool I know my keyboard is super freaking loud I am
sorry um these are Cherry MX Blues this
is the keyboard that I talked about in the video when I was like it's got some
weight to it that is this keyboard right here that this is also the keyboard that
I repaired this is also the keyboard that showed up in my mineral o video
this is the keyboard that shows up everywhere it's got very loud very
tactile very clicky what was
that oh this isn't a gif it's a YouTube
video is this just a YouTube video that they have on
repeat why would they just make it a
gift what
oh I kind of want that to happen again anyways this is that keyboard um which
is why it's so loud so I'm sorry about that I will type as little as possible I
want to see the results of that straw pole uh but I guess I should put those
on screen so give me a second here I
want to like I can't believe that that's just okay let's
see results
see look there there's an ad right these are ads I don't have ad block install
yes okay so everyone wants it but then H I don't know I if I can find the time to
do it I will but my my DIY videos have not gotten a huge amount of views but I
will I will try okay I will try um but
yeah people do seem to want the transparent LCD side panel thing I think
that one would be maybe a little
cooler than some of the other videos
that I've made that would be fair oh you
see why is it a YouTube video and then do they have it auto
replaying apparently yeah what why go
through the process of like making your site auto replay the same YouTube video
when you could just make it a gift oh I don't know that seems
crazy Onie frostwolf gaming
series it's it's all in German oh never
mind not
German this thing is cool I guess they want you to buy oh my
God it's $500 for the case and the LCD
panel okay let me go back to my screen real quick NZXT h440 I'm going to check
on NewEgg
newegg.com once I'm here and it stops freaking out I'll share my screen again
there we go screen share how much is an h440 let's be fair
it's
$119 this thing is expensive oh my God
that's 400
whoa that's a lot of money that's like
720 can as someone just posted in chat
and I'm pretty sure that's right oh my God I thought that was $400
Canadian that is so much money okay we're going to move on I'm going to very
probably do my how to make your own transparent video thing it's not that
easy that's part of the problem and it's very easy to screw up
um that was a lot of
money I don't think I could spend that much money on a singular side panel um
but yeah we will see apparently foxcon
deploys 40,000 robots in China the last time I heard about this
um they had deployed a huge amount of robots but I believe it was in
Taiwan and they were super proud of it
um which is an interesting way to look
at robot replacement cuz usually when a company fires a huge amount of people
they're like oh we're so sorry like we can't we can't manage this or the
markets are shifting or like we failed in this way and foxcon lays off a huge
amount of people replaces them with robots and just like we're awesome we
just replaced all these people and we don't need them screw all those people
we don't need anybody we can just robots do everything screw them all which is
interesting not very conventional um from what I've seen most
companies do but you
know or they just ignore it like uh what
is it McDonald's has been trying to replace people all the freaking time
using the automated telling machine things um but they just don't talk about
it as far as I know they're just
like people like these telling machine things and we're just nope it's fine
anyways so foxcon is continuing to
reduce the number of workers at its plants by creating digital device or
that are creating digital devices sorry
um foxcon says that they can produce 10,000 of these robots
annually um for the kshan factory alone
foxcon has cut 60,000 employees so I believe that was what happened earlier
this year that lius and I talked about um and they're saying with the increase
of labor costs and with the younger generation's lack of interest in
production line work don't think that's the problem many companies have launched
huge investments into automation I think they've just done that because it's
ridiculously cheap once it's implemented um they also plan to build robots for
medical and health applications so I think foxcon is trying to um
let me jump to the China news
website here we go uh I think foxcon is
trying to automate their own business to
save money on labor but also as kind of
an advertisement to other businesses showing off look look at look at what we
can do we make relatively highly Advanced things we manufacture
relatively highly Advanced things and we do it automated
and then they're going to be like look we can make these robots for you for
your applications as well and I believe they want that to be a huge part of
their model um so yeah I think that's
honestly about it foxcon wants to kind of rule the world with robots and
they're not shy about that at all I think they're going to brag about it every single time it happens because
they want to start um making that money
off robots so yeah anyways someone just
reminded me so I think I'm going to do it now give me one quick
second usually these are kind of Linus's
thing but here we go sponsor spots first
one Mac Welden this shirt it looks
fantastic if I do say so myself I like
it a lot I don't think I've ever shown off a shirt on the show before but you

we've bought underwear this shirt and some socks they all feel great it was
easy to buy um they have a line of
silver underwear which I'm not going to show you

refund everything is good they're nice guys not only does Mac Welden do
underwear socks and shirts they all look good they perform well as well which is
great I haven't used this to work out in because this is the first day I've had

did the sponsor spots cuz that seems super lame so I'm going to keep going
we're going to move up soilent halt sails of their
bars investigation into their illness stuff continues my mom even called me
about this because my mom knows that I'm kind of into you know Squarespace and
stuff or what soilent anyways can't blame that one on
no um so she was worried that I was eating
These Bars this is so normally Squarespace deals in liquidy stuff
originally it was a mix that you mix with water then they started just coming
in the bottles or the mix and then they had the bottle that has some coffee
stuff in it and then they started trying to make these
bars H but apparently a few people got
ill after eating some of the soilent snack bars and it was because of the
soilent snack bars possibly I don't know if that's
completely confirmed but it's pretty sure at this point soent has halted all
of their sales and their shipments and have asked people to throw the bars away
um and is refunding people as did I say
Squarespace again did I seriously do
that my bad I didn't mean to I'm sorry
anyways um they're reaching out via email to customers uh who have ordered
bars in the past blah blah blah blah blah let's go to uh their blog real
quick let's check this out yes I did I'm sorry I'm talking about swent squares
space is stuck on my head sometimes I do these weird things where I see a word
that starts with a certain letter and then just every other word that starts
with that letter becomes that word for some reason anyways um this is soilent
we're talking about not Squarespace Squarespace is fine Squarespace is not
recalling nutrition bars for making people sick Squarespace makes great
looking uh helps you make great looking websites there you go actually they make
great looking websites too squarespace.com looks kind of wonderful
anyways soet yeah there they're offering if they
haven't contacted you and you're like what the hell and you've ordered some
bars you can contact them at info sent.com I almost just said info at L
medag group.com oh it's not even an email
okay um we are deeply sorry if any
customer had any negative experiences with the soilent bar I was reading on I
believe was it their Instagram or their Twitter or something comments that
people had and there was a bunch of people saying that they had eaten and
consumed the bars and had no problems with it at all um but there was also
people that were claiming that they did have problems so seriously if you have
any of these bars unless it's for a prank and you're going to no I'm not even going to go there
nope no no no just return them or throw
them away and get your refund similar to
the Samsung phone if you're someone who is eating soilent bars and bought a
note7 you just didn't have a lot of luck with your purchasing decisions recently
did you I'm sorry to hear that I feel
for you I hope you get your refunds and I hope everything goes okay
that's that's all I have to say your refunds are not going great um soone
someone in the chat said an allergy problem possibly I know soent in the
past has had some minor issues with
their quality control so I wonder if it's something going on with how they
made the bar as well let me just check this really quick no that's an email not
a Hangouts I'm just wondering if Nick is going to send me a message being like Yo
dude you screwed up I don't know if I did something wrong um uh moving
on I need to figure out where I'm
going oh what I didn't even know this was a
thing and this is going to make me really super
sad the title of this is star s in single player is delayed indefinitely
what what I'm so sad right now
what cloud Imperium games has announced that star s single player campaign will
be delayed indefinitely reason being is that there are huge chunks of it still
unfinished cig had originally promised that this mode would ship in 2016 okay I
think we all knew that wasn't going to happen um but now that won't be
happening
part of the problem comes from them overhauling their engine which some cig
developers say it's been more work than creating a new one from scratch full
game's release date is
unknown so these are their current problems that they
have um pathf finding logic full
animation integration improve combat logic mission system integration
enhanced flight AI those are some pretty core concept issues this does seem a
little click baity though I guess I didn't share my screen that would be a
slight problem if you wanted to read along with me there we go
um does seem a little click
batty let me let me look up real
quick indefinitely yeah so indefinitely
literally means for one Unlimited or unsp specified period of time I think
normally when people say indefinitely they kind of usually mean
the unlimited side of things as in it's
not happening I don't think that's at all
what cig said because I watched this live stream and I was like I don't
remember them saying that so it was delayed I'm pretty sure
we all knew this was going to be a thing we all knew it wasn't going to release
in 2016 so they still have problems which are pathfinding logic full animation
integration improved combat logic mission system integration enhanced
flight AI object container streaming GPU
and CPU optimizations there's a lot for them to
do
but I think a a more proper way to say
it would be delayed maybe not delayed
indefinitely
that's all I would say there's some debate in the chat over
whether or not in definitely means forever permanently or if it means just
a short period of time however you take it is however you
take it but literally part of the definition is that it's possibly an
unlimited amount of time so I'm going to go
with that they probably should have just said delay instead of delayed
indefinitely anyways apparently a Chinese company has bought
a major Stak in Newegg this was posted
in the Wall Street Journal that's kind of interesting Paul
and Kyle and Steve and all them don't work there anymore China firm expected
to invest 20 billion to $30
billion I don't think that's just in New
Egg I think that's in a bunch of different things to read the full story
subscribe or sign in
I don't have a Wall Street Journal account so we're not going to look at
this article I'm just going to talk to you about what's inside because whoever
made the notes for this apparently does have a Wall Street Journal account uh
reports in September of significant investment from hanga liaan interactive
Information Technology Company Limited woo uh which would allow Newegg to
accelerate their pursuit of the company's strategic initiative has
resulted in a bid towards controlling a majority of the company's shares wow
deal is estimated to be around 2.63
billion will add liazon interactive in
bolstering its Global comp will Aid not add I can read in bolstering its Global
competitiveness allowing for a large expansion into the American market so I
think they're just like straight up buying their way into the states that is
pretty intense um yikes
uh one not dollars uh nope 2.63 billion
US I will literally post that number in
the chat there you go literally says
USD USD so yep 2.63 billion USD they're
buying a uh controlling share of the
company so that's over 50% or that's
okay that's not necessarily true
anyways it's probably a huge portion of the company I think they're buying a
very massive amount um apparently HP is going to axe
up to 4,000 jobs over the next three years this is an RS Technica article RS
Technica is pretty
awesome um HP aing 4,000 jobs isn't
pretty awesome though CEO Dion weasler
really hope I said that correctly says markets are challenging but the vendor
is confident with their strategy planning to trim Workforce up to 18%
with the loss of between 3,000 and 4,000 jobs by
2019 so if you work at HP possibly a
good time to try to find an out maybe
it's because they're trying to sell stuff like this I don't know like I used to work at
a Best Buy for a few years there on and
off in the Summers and stuff between school to try to save their money these
kind of things never ever
sold like I actually don't think we ever sold one in the entire time that I was
there why are you still making this maybe okay let me see in the let's do a
straw all inone all in one W Windows PC
yes no turn so this is kind of a weird
question because I'm saying all in one Windows PC yes or no but I'm defining it
by like are you interested do you know people that are interested yes or no
that's kind of where I'm going with that but I'm interested to see what people say because like seriously I don't I've
I don't think I've ever seen one in someone's home um we had two at the Best
Buy that I worked at and no one ever bought them
ever uh if someone did end up buying
them they were so heavily discounted by the time that I was leaving that someone probably got it for like 50% of the
freaking cost uh that has 3D scanning abilities with Intel real sense great
you could just buy a real sense camera and then have it anyways on a normal
computer why does it matter I don't know this stupid I'm not
I'm not into the Windows Allin ones kind of weird let's see the results on this
so no I want that I want to do
that so we can see maybe hey look Best
Buy oh man um you guys can't even see
that that's an ad on my other monitor geez so many ads um Allin one PC 74% of
people not interested at all and don't know anyone that's interested 14% of
people might know someone that's interested or
be slightly interested at all and then 12% of people are voting
turnip awesome super
great I don't know guys maybe that's
just the wrong product but anyways they're planning on shaving millions of
the company's costs by laying off those workers the tech giant staff headcount
as of last November stood at 50,000 workers um that's pretty intense
apparently the job Cuts would begin in 2017 and be done by 2019 so again if you
work at HP right now heads up um HP
anticipates to be in Cur in connection with the
plan 350 million to 500 million in
restructuring and other charges due to both labor and non-labor actions of
these amounts HP expects to incur approximately 200 million in labor costs
related to Workforce reductions w the
printer and PC maker predicts from the that from 2020 the layoffs will generate
gross annual run rate Savings of approximately 200 to 300 million so
it'll cost them a lot up front and they're hoping that they save money in
the long run that is pretty brutal I don't
know poor people that work at
HP I I have a hard time ever really feeling that bad for HP but poor people
that work at HP anyways moving on uh apparently there's
a rumor that more uh Nintendo NX leaks
have happened including a price apparently will cost $300 for the system
and $400 for a bundle these are Us doll
um comes from a source over Reddit so we all know that is just definitely
genuine totally we'll launch with
Zelda um and an unspecified Mario title
I don't think it launching with Zelda was super surprising okay good I'm not
signed into the forum so I will video share here I just made need to make sure
I wasn't signed in um apparently aiming for 1080p 60 aiming
for 900p in handheld mode um whatever
handheld mode necessarily is I think it's still up in the air a little bit um
the source is this YouTube thing so I'm not going to click on that just in case
because who knows um but
yeah there we
go not super interesting I don't know I'm super excited for the NX but I I I
don't know if this is a problem or not but I just don't really get that excited
for rumors like the price on that isn't too
bad $300 for the system is the same
price as an Xbox One S uh the bundle I
wonder what that's about because $100 more for a bundle maybe that's if you
get Zelda and Mario that could maybe
make a little bit of sense not entirely sure but yeah bundle price there who
knows we're seriously running out of topics this was a very very short
week um valve has showed off a VR prototype
this is something I can easily talk about let's go to video share so new
controller there which uh
looks pretty
weird I don't know what's going on
there it's going around his wrists and there's something on the back of his
hand and then there's like this thing in the middle of his hand which looks like
you would hold on a trigger it it looks
very odd I don't really know what else to say other than that it looks very odd
you can see what I've maybe been looking for on Amazon lately
um anyways but yeah looks kind of weird I don't know what's going on with that
but it does look also super prototype so other things could happen and that's all
they're really showing off apparently wow this article was not nearly as
interesting as it could have been uh can make those pictures bigger
yep there we go that
looks not
comfortable but again it's a prototype it'll get better even the LEDs and stuff
exposed IR LEDs so yeah it'll get better controller
sits in the palm of your hand it doesn't extend much around the outside and then I guess they're moving that big ring to
just like the back of your wrist mainly compacting it more it does look like
it'll probably honestly be better um
than what they currently have but I don't know if I'm more interested in
that than the touch controllers the touch controllers are a pretty good
implementation of VR controllers to be completely
honest that's pretty brutal it's G to be a much more interesting fight once those
touch controllers come out we've already ordered some by the way so once they're
released hopefully we'll get those pretty quick and I'll get a a review that no one will watch of the uh Oculus
touch controllers out which will be great yeah that'll be good um BMW put
self-driving into the spotlight with the new Five series so I'm going to post
this in the chat as well um
there we go uh so
more more to the Five series than just a set of radar driven cruise control
systems there's there's more to us than just some radar driven cruise control
systems we go deeper than that that's what BMW is trying to say it also takes
care of acceleration steering and breaking up to 210 kilm per hour or 130
mph it uses a camera mounted on the front the system will also Auto
automatically adapt to changing speed limits although drivers can force a car
to push 15 km per hour or 9 miles per
hour above if they
want interesting so I wonder if that's a
pre-programmed pushing it above because this is using Drive Assist so there okay
to clarify there they're not like capping how fast you can drive by
slightly above the speed limit I think it's when you have the like Lane
assist Auto driving thing enabled that you can only go slightly
above it's kind of interesting new 5 series releases on February 11th of 2017
and there was not very much in terms of further information there it is
controlled by the driver so autonomous Drive isn't technically at fault if you
uh get a speeding ticket that results
from you forcing the autonomous driving to go above what it wants too that kind
of makes sense I mean that completely makes sense
sorry Google's deepmind AI team has a
memory boosted AI that can help you navigate the subway um they develop a
memory boosted neural network that can create and work with sophisticated data
structures which is the deepmind AI team I believe we already knew that it has an
example of the map of the London Underground let's see if we can actually
see this
nope oh man news was really weak this
week see what I did there same same
sounding word different actual word people trying to squish on the subway
and no examples who oh
wait no no thanks end
Gadget ah brutal yep so there's no
examples at all um there's really not
much else to say the examples are like if they decide to do it this way that
would be cool so they're saying example if it has a map of London Underground it
could figure out the quickest path from stop to stop to tell you where you'd end
up after following a rote
sequence meaning that Google's memory based uh or memory boosted AI could help
you get from train to train if you're wondering where to go to be completely
honest I was in London not that long ago and their underground is pretty easy to
figure out
um but some of them aren't so that could be rather helpful um yeah that's that's
pretty much all there is to that and then we only have one topic
left but the show's like barely been going on for an hour so not entirely
sure what I'm going to do then Colton like wared me today he was like there's
not much in the duck cuz we ran out of power partway through the day so yeah um
but anyways I'm going to talk about a Nikon DSLR with Subzero Peltier cooling
uh says the astronomer's camera of
choice okay
why whoa okay look at this thing okay I
finally have something cool to show you guys who
what that's
nuts why would you need
that oh my God that is
crazy increasing image sensor sensitivity oh that's pretty cool I bet
you Brandon would be way more interesting to uh talk to about this
because I have no idea why you would ever need a giant Peltier cooler on your
camera but he probably does there's a view from the front so you can see it
sticking out of the back sensor cooling system for a very for very low electric
noise gotcha that makes
sense then it has like an anti-d doing
System modified filter for increased
sensitivity use without battery
okay interesting
interesting I wish they had a video
this is apparently an example of the kind of photos you can take with the Nikon
d5500 a cooled camera with a refactor
telescope attached to the front I mean it's a cool
photo people are asking where lonus is uh lonus had a
baby so for those who didn't catch the
very beginning of the stream and I'm definitely buying time here because I
haven't been doing W show long enough and there is no topics left um allius is
out with a new baby he had his third baby everything went fine they're doing
well but they are at home um so he was not at work um and then so lonus and
Avon are both on maternity leave trying to take time to themselves and while
they're gone all possible [ __ ] is hitting the
fan so there's a giant giant storm like
let me see if I can actually find this [ __ ] it I mean
who oh I'm used to be able to swear when
I'm streaming in this area because this is my personal streaming
area I'm sorry okay
um BC
storm
uh here we go here's a topic we're going
to move on uh 75,000 customers without
power at height of second um BC storm is
this even what's happening right now yes this is an article from today so I did
find the correct thing you can see trees being pulled out of the freaking ground
trees falling over onto telephone lines
I believe this is three different pictures of the same thing let's play
this video from Pat Wong uh some waves and wind flying
around uh anyways we don't have power at the office right now um so we weren't
able to do the WAN Show from the office we were going to do the WAN Show from
Nick's house and I was going to co-stream it with either Colton Taran or
Nick um but then the problem with co-
streaming it with Colton Taran or Nick is that today I just got diagnosed with
pneumonia a sinus infection and I have
some problem with my neck which is causing muscle tighten
which is being Amplified by the coughing and the sneezing from the pneumonia and
the sinus infection which is causing a
headache boom triple whammy so giant
storm baby just got here I'm sick
literally three times over so that's why the show is
here at my house and not somewhere else
because I can't co-host it at somewhere else's at some else's house because I
will make them horribly horribly sick so
uh yeah that's what we got for now back to uh video share this is talking more
about the storm that's hitting BC here
um apparently you can't see the dock there's a dock here because it's just
covered up by water this storm that's hitting us is the remnants of a typhoon
I believe it's the like typhoon's gone but energy from the typhoon is still
coming apparently there's still a third storm on its way that's expected on
Saturday that's tomorrow when the remnants of super
typhoon SAA will be arriving then so
there's going to be even more power outages there's a lot of fire engines
and stuff running around all over the place um I wish I didn't have pneumonia
and a sinus infection and a neck problem because I'd love to be outside trying to
haul trees off roads and make sure that people are okay I've already messaged my
neighbors upstairs and told them like hey I've got non- perishable food and
blankets and a lot of board games so if you guys if we run out of power we can
kind of Hubble up a little bit actually no we can't I pneumonia forgot about
that part I can give you guys board games and things if you need them um but
then I was sure they were ready so I messaged them but I'm sure you're
probably fine and they were like yep we're good we got lots of non-
perishable food and blankets and board games and if you need those too so yeah
between myself and the upstairs neighbors we'll all be fine don't worry
about us um but yeah Hall trees with your
convertible no my cont my convertible is super dead um I guess you haven't heard
the updates there's a video I'm not going to link it because it's self-promotion whatever stuff but
there's a video by my fuel injectors and fuel pump blew up while I was on a
bridge and now I have a new car it's it's been years man you're old old
school um anyways but oh PlayStation VR
someone just said PlayStation VR in chat I'm really hurting for topics cuz I'm
done the whole land show talk because nothing really happened this week um but
yeah PlayStation VR we have an order in for that we will be checking it out um
from what I've seen so far it's not going to uh blow my mind at all but it
looks it looks It looks interesting I don't know I don't like the idea that
you can't turn around um that kind of bugs me yeah yeah
on the spectrum of FS here Let's
do let's do a WAN Show first uh we're
going to do ghetto painting with
Luke so let's go video
share so on the spectrum of
VR you have
uh let's go
op oh man writing and paint is pretty
difficult and
transparent this is going to be everyone's favorite part of the show
right this is just the best thing that's ever happened on W show right totally
hell yeah and then let's
go uh
free o o and then
tethered so on this spectrum thing
you've got like opaque and tethered so you've got okay so Vive Oculus
um the Sony thing and a few others on the
oh okay so free doesn't mean like money free free means there's no tether um I
was going to do no tether and then I was like it's just too much writing um so
opaque and free you've got like the uh
Google dream thing and you've got
Samsung's gear VR
uh transparent and tethered there is one of these but I don't remember what it's
called and then transparent and no tethered you've got the Microsoft Holo
lens um wow that's
terrible in this spectrum is where you're seeing most of the performance
right now opaque and tethered so you've got like the Vive and the Oculus Rift
because they're tethered which is where you get a lot of the computational power
um but they're opaque so they don't have to deal with
the environment around you opaque okay so opaque and transparent is like if you
have an Oculus
Rift there's something blocking your vision so you can't see
outwards with a hollow lens it's
transparent so that you can see through it you can still see the walls and
people that are in the room uh opaque is non-transparent I just realized people
might not know what opaque means so opaque means you can't see through it so
when you're wearing a rift or a Vive you purposefully cannot see the things that
are in the room with you uh when you're wearing a Microsoft Hollow lens you can
purposefully see the things that are in the room with you
um Halo lens is AR not
VR uh
you meant it's
okay there's augmented virtual reality
AVR and then there's
virtual because ah you can the definitions of all these things get very
mixed up but this is just the graph of headsets not those things specifically
don't worry about a VR any of that kind stuff this is just headsets um so with
Sony coming in here and doing this the main benefit that you get from opaque
tethered headsets is the performance side of things and the Playstation 4
doesn't have a ton of
performance
so I don't know
AVR AR is still VR but if it's AR and VR
it's still AR yeah I know but there's other just don't worry about it like I
said I was just talking about headsets in general calm your tits and sit down
um man I have to remember that I'm not allowed to say swear words and stuff
because it's the wo still Luke looks so bored I kind of am I
don't have any more topics to do the the dock is literally done but I haven't
been streaming for that long so I don't know what I'm going to talk about
anymore I guess okay I'll talk about this I went down to Microsoft um in
Redmond they're about 3 hours below us
on the map so Brown and I drove there last week to check them out uh we
thought that we were going down there to check out a hollow lens demo and I was
expecting they they they told us that we weren't going to be able to allow we
weren't going to be be allowed to uh film like at all which was going to suck
but I was going to try to do like a hollow lens Impressions video where I
just use their b-roll and don't get to
actually show you guys any of me
actually trying it and I was like this is going to be kind of weird but I
really want to try Hollow lens so whatever the hollow lens demo we ended
up getting was only like two minutes long anyways I talked about that a little bit on a previous show
but some things that we did get to see was their Advanced prototyping and
Hardware engineering Labs exclusive tour
super cool went to go see that with judner from your average consumer and
Austin Evans from Austin Evans um so
that was awesome it was cool hanging out with those guys and it was cool checking
that place out and there's a video coming about that whole deal soon it's
pretty sweet um I it could have been
better if I knew I was was going to even be able to do that but they didn't tell us that that was happening before we
went down so I wasn't ready for like a factory tour kind of
deal so yeah could have been better but
I hope that video will be pretty cool also we checked out the garage um which
I will garage.
microsoft.com which is this
thing so like they have maker spaces on
campus where employees are encouraged to like
do cool stuff so you can go like all
right let's look at mobile only so there's two completed garage
apps it's called spritle and
kaizala I don't know what those are create Catal create cataloges eCards and
more for your business and personal needs okay I don't know but there's here
let's look at what's currently being worked on so there's a huge amount of
projects in here right now I know okay I've seen this one before trip tracker
So This One automatically maps all of your trips
that you've done it it knows if you're driving running biking all that kind of
stuff blah blah blah blah blah so if you went for a bike ride but like forgot to
be like hey I'm going for a bike ride phone it can still track all of that for
you um and luckily it's not super crazy
insanely creepy uh um because you can
turn it off which is fun being able to
turn it off is great could you do a Q&A I can always do a Q&A just ask a
question tag myself in chat because I'm not logged in as lanis in this thing so
if you do like an app tag for me in chat then it'll show up as like red or
whatever and then oh God now everyone knows that um but yeah you can just do
that and then I'll see your question in chat and it'll be it'll be easy to do no
big deal um but yeah they have tons of these my
mustache. net you can rate how your
mustache goes up against other people's mustaches oh it automatically rates your
mustache holy crap that's
fantastic look at this guy he got Auto stashed that made it even better oh
God so many people talking about different
things Windows 10 Redstone 2 launch
date wccf article you know it's going to be
good who knows if it's going to be true or
not Redstone 2 Windows 10 version 1703 I
have no idea what this is talking about Windows 10 Redstone 2 is referred
internally is version
1703 okay uh it's considered the biggest
feature upgrade to come to Windows 10 since it's launched since it's
launched when is it coming spring of
2017 okay holy crap I'm bored come on
boys we need better news topics than that come on
now forever ago in LT there was a new
video of a new set what is that what is
what are you what uh when are you going to upgrade
your new CPU still running a 2600k right I am still running a
2600k uh my upgrade to CPU will be
happening fairly soon all the parts for a new personal rig are here um but I
didn't think they're going to be here until the end of November so the mod that I want to do to the case is still
going to take a little while um
so yeah I don't know if I want to just show building the computer uh in a very
normal way by just kind of plugging things in that are really expensive and
then being like hey personal rig update
uh I think people will be like yo that's pretty boring uh so I kind of want to do
the mod as well and the mod is going to be rather difficult and sourcing the
stuff for it is going to be rather difficult um so
yeah it's going to take a little bit but it should be before the end of November
that you guys okay that my personal rig update is
done I don't know when you guys are going to see it because of editing queue
and vessel queue and waiting for all the other things to get out of the way q and
then YouTube and blah blah blah blah blah but the vide should be done before
the end of November anyways guys I think that's
going to be it for the W
show um honestly I am exhausted from all
the different various ways that I am sick and there's no more topics left and
there hasn't been for the last 20 freaking minutes so I am going to end
the stream um also I need to fight through figuring out how to even upload
this thing because usually I don't do that usually lonus does that um I even
screwed up a bit of the pre-show by not putting a YouTube video up that the show
was live which is probably why there isn't very many viewers right now
anyways uh I hope you guys enjoyed
this speaking of not feeling great uh
yeah I will be someone just asked if I'm
streaming yes I will be doing my stream I don't know if I'm going to run out of
power or not so I don't know how that's going to go but I will be doing my
stream not immediately cuz I need to take some drugs that I have for my
pneumonia stuff and I need to get this all uploaded to make sure that I do it
properly because the archive is important so yes see you guys later
Afterparty will be happening and it will be like an actual Afterparty this time
because I just hosted the show and stuff so we can talk about tech things if you
want that's cool twitch.tv lukor LFR
I'll see you there intro intro
I hope I did everything right
uh see you
