and like what is happening is pretty much the best start we could have
possibly expected for a show where we
both look and feel totally normal the same right now as we always do thank you
for covering for me there I was almost going to give away our secret yeah I
like your outfit by the way I like your outfit how do you you get like the how
are these straight straight like it looks like it mine are curly didn't you
get curly once no no I store my curly on
somewhere else
oh my god oh wow okay cool someone did actually link it I was like what no I'm
I'm wearing a completely different wig from you that's why mine looks different
this is a leftover from that thing we did with uh with uh Josh from fractal on
the and the hair is getting in my mouth I knew the pink one was as long as
the curly hair doesn't get but I meant like the straight color no that's part of the pink one oh really I didn't even
know that yep it has like uh rainbow bangs yep that's pretty cool rainbow
bangs my friend rainbow bangs all right
so let's go I'm going to drop some random stuff before you get going to buy
you some extra time oh can we do the folding team update that's exactly what
I was going to do yeah let's do the folding team update so the folding team
is now 26th in the whole freaking
world that's awesome anyways we are among top top 10 for active folding
teams so some of those teams don't have active members anymore um and we are
among the top 10 uh highest point producing teams for all of our members
together my members are always the most active consistently putting
out 10 million points per day or PPD a
lot of new members have been signing up in the last couple months I suggest you do as well um and I don't know who put
this in there but folding Hardware can uh double as whole home heating you want
to do the opposite of whole room water cooling uh whole room heating buy
computers fill your room with them and run them 100% all the time maybe someone
who's trying to like become an engineering student should convince their parents that they need a whole
bunch of computers and a whole bunch of like copper tubing and stuff and
recreate Home Room water cooling in their house using folding machines for the line of SE folding team yeah no I
mean we don't actually necessarily recommend that but what we do recommend
is staying tuned for the rest of the show we got lots of good stuff for you guys there's some HTC1
M9 um actually some pretty cool news coming about that we're also getting a
much much clearer idea of what the R9 390x is going to look like in its final
form what else we got I have no
idea oh we have uh Microsoft is not
necessarily free for pirates um which Windows 10 is what I think you're trying
to say sorry yeah Windows 10 is not necessarily f for pirates which is not too surprising at all we'll talk about
that more later on and there was a Japanese supercomputer that was able to
simulate one second of brain activity
wow that's actually a lot more than one second right but they they calculated
the total that's still cool yes wait what the why is
this move go there we
go ready to do
this not right they can't see us I wish that was on
screen it's amazing what thing oh yeah no no don't
worry I got this okay so uh sponsors today
linda.com M drop why do these look
completely different someone's getting fired that's
it and I fix it which looks like the
linda.com one but not like the mass drop
one because whatever apparently all all
right I'm not getting fired this time I didn't make those well you can still get
fired that's true yeah you can get fired for showing up at work looking like some
kind of like you yeah looking like me
yeah I mean think about as we say not as we do I'm sure that friendships have
broken up over wearing the same outfit probably yeah so it's not identical my
little poofs are different colors that's true my poofs are are green the top ones
are both blue yeah the top ones are both blue let's pull out this is really
awkward we're
poof okay let's just try to have a serious show okay okay like let's try
and you know do a good job for our viewers of like you know okay so this
first topic was posted by a Ming and the original article here is from
fandroid.com I'm going to go ahead and fire this baby up uh speaking of
professionalism I have definitely not plugged my HDMI table in here no that's
that's a good thing so I have no idea if
I'm all about doing it live all right doing it right before your
eyes okay oh did you hear that some major YouTuber I think she has like four
million subscribers she does unboxings of toys was a former porn star yeah
that's cool so that's a thing that's why she never appears on camera but people
put two and two together the X wife of
her current husband or something confirmed it was like yep y that was her
Alias there you go well that lady's a
jerk well it was already like everyone knew so she officially confirmed it she
did she did confirm it so it's still kind of a like kind of a douchy move so
let's go ahead and oh look at that it worked first try that's amazing all
right SOA this out every HTC1 M9 owner to get
one getet out to jail free card one free
replacement for water damage cracked screen or switching
carriers that is so cool because even if
you know not every phone can be unlocked for every carrier and not every
particular you know skew can have every frequency support or whatever else the
case may be HTC's basically going yeah look for the lifetime of this phone you
get to screw up once you get to go oh you know what I'm with Verizon and it
sucks or I'm with AT&T and it sucks I want to try something else boom you get
a replacement phone now this is uh definitely an improvement because I can
tell you guys that remember I talked about this on W show and I meant to
follow this up back when I R my 1 M8 I
did so as a customer and I told you guys that I was going to follow up and let
you know how it goes because there was a problem with the main camera lens that
it was like cracked for no reason like the rest of the phone was pristine like
something leaned against it in my pocket it was cracked like I looked at it suddenly I was like how is this cracked
um and it is an issue that other people have had with the phone so I tried to go
through the r process as a normal customer and they ended up rejecting me
they ended up saying that it wasn't covered they wanted to charge me a bunch
of money I ended up having to go through my press contact in order to get that
taken care of so is not cool which is not that cool so for me to see HTC
stepping up their warranty game is a good on them for improving something
that I didn't have a great experience with them with in the past and B this is
great for putting pressure on the other guys because a lot of the time products
that have a lot of margin have a lot of
margin because they expect a lot of they
expect a lot of returns or a lot of waste like you know why is it that they
can afford if someone in like if your kid in McDonald's drops their ice cream
cone on the floor like the second you hand it to them does McDonald's make you
buy a new one no no no man they give you
they give you a new one and if you have a lot of margin you can afford to do
that kind of thing and Flagship phones are getting to the point where compared
to entrylevel phones they've got a lot of margin and from time to time they can
probably afford to repair that refurbish it do something with it and then get you
a new one so pretty cool it's only within the first 12 months after you buy
it and this is cool they get you the new one overnight as long as you're willing
to pre-authorize 300 bucks on your credit card just to prevent fraud to
prevent people from just being like uh yeah so um I need like my new one and
then yeah I didn't send the old one don't worry about it I got two now peace
bro so they can charge you a few hundred bucks if you do that to make that not a
very profitable proposition right so um
I get gee what else is there all it takes is a call to their support line
apparently that's that's freaking cool what is there to say I like how it has a
name too it's called AO protection protection uh and like that might not
seem super at first that's funny um but like that's actually kind of nice cuz
you can phone them up and be like instead of me like I need that thing
where I get that stuff for free I need oops prote time yeah you can be like I
need uh oh protection and they're like oh okay like it's it simplifies the
communication process and I actually do like that I think that's going to sell a lot of phones I think that's going to
help them a lot like if you're standing in the store and you're like yeah Galaxy
S6 or uh 1 M9 one of them I literally
get a free replacement if I screw it up I mean this is basically Apple Care for
free and if you want to go for like the like the companies that have your back a
you could get like a T-Mobile SIM and M9 and like in in most cases you're just
fine this is the itchiest thing am going
crazy holy crap but you know what these
guys contributed to our new office campaign they deserve to have us sit
through this W show in this incredibly stinky hot room in these clown outfits
for them and the greatest part is we were both handed these outfits like 5 10
minutes ago oh I knew they were here so I picked them up still in the packaging
oh yeah they were just in the packaging yeah yes we didn't was any of this oh my
head's like burning
oh burning head all right so uh you
should get that looked up they have clinics for that all right so let's uh
we are getting a lot more details about the
r9390x this was posted by me down you on the Forum can I help you chat said you
guys needed an H my who no the other one joking what do you
what you need this he needs apparently
not this the other one yeah wow thanks Nick you tried okay so uh This original
article here is from techpowerup.com do you want to go ahead and throw that in
the uh throw that in the twitch chat more radon R9 390x specs leak we are
expecting it to be close to 70% faster
than the R9 290x this is extremely good
news for AMD based on that we've seen the performance of the G GTX Titan X
NVIDIA has tipped their hand effectively and the GTX Titan X is fast but it's not
going to be the same kind of butt-kicking difference in performance
that we have seen in the past this is looking like something that could be an
extremely close race and rumored pricing
that I've seen for the 390x at least the
rumored air cooled one there's actually another rumor that there's going to be
both an air cooled version and a more extreme clock liquid cooled version but
the rumor is that the air cooled version will be significantly less expensive
than the GTX Titan X it's not too surprising and you know the thing about
the GTX Titan X is that you say the same
letter twice and it drives me insane oh no that too GTX Titan X they're kind of
run out of cool letters what's the next one going to be like the Titan J GTX
powered Zed Edition 24 no cuz they already have a zed they have a Titan Zed
so they got Zed and X powered Z are there any other cool letters they got
they got to start doing more ti ti but they have TI they got to come up with
something no they they can roll them together Titan X TI yeah yeah and they
just put big wheels on it all right so the thing about the Titan X that no one
really seems to be talking about is the way that NVIDIA kind of kind of
gradually sort of did this uh did this
thing where the original Titan the justification for the thousand
gaming card talking about how this card should realistically be the 980 um no no
that's a whole other discussion so the GTX Titan the original justification for
that unprecedented 9.99 price point I
shouldn't say completely unprecedented because the 8800 Ultra was right up
around that Mark I think it was around $900 but that was like uh that was like
a like a that was more of a bin of a card that was available at a lower price
whereas Titan and Titan X have been the only card available with that tier of
GPU at their launch and it took ages for
the 780 Ti to come out last time around so so Titan the way they Justified this
thousand graphics card was oh yeah we've got like all these like Glam shots and
like you know we've got this like green logo on the top of it and it looks all
gamery but no no this is like a Cuda developer card and like it's for like
rendering and stuff cuz it's got you know full double Precision performance
remember that was a big pitch Titan Titan okay Titan X I was like hold up
Titan X has no such thing so in the two years in between these cards NVIDIA has
gone from feeling like they have to justify a $1,000 gaming card to feeling
like $1,000 gaming card is just okay and
that's just well that's our top end gaming card now so it's really
interesting to see that and I'll be I'll be equally interested to see if AMD
follows suit or if they go right for the Titan X's jugular and release 390x
significantly cheaper with similar performance now
with that said Titan X runs hot but 390x
I will be floored Apparently one of us
is hitting the table fairly frequently I think it's me I will be
floored if the if the uh sorry if the
390x is more uh uses up less power than
the 290x so Titan X might still come
ahead in terms of performance per watt
but raw performance- wise we could be looking at a close race and people care
more about raw performance and gsync was
a big feature that could have sold me an NVIDIA card over an AMD card up until
very recently and free sync is now here with that said my only experience with
free sync so far hasn't been great did I tell you about it no okay uh is the
Embargo up no I think so I think other people's reviews are up yeah yeah yeah
the I saw the PC for review so I have a 3467 that's LG's 2560 by 10 80 ultrawide
free sync Monitor and the issue with it is that its free sync um variable
refresh rate window is only from 48 Herz
to 75 Hertz so it only has like what
what is that like a 27 htz window a 27
htz window where it both prevents tearing and doesn't stutter and and and
the refresh rate varies so if you fall below that you're going to see the same
the same stutter nonsense that like the same choppiness that you'd see without
variable refresh rate and falling below 48 frames per second is the kind of
thing that happens even in a game where you're averaging like 60 FPS when
something intensive happens and those are the times when you really feel that
stutter anyway so the effectiveness for me was not very good and then the
Topline performance so if you were going to say okay well then I'll just have my
game Target like I'm going to run like way over 48 FPS so I never dip your top
line is 75 htz so you're just kind of like like like
what the the pitch with g-sync was that you can use more conservative settings
and still get a a playable smooth gameplay experience that's not the
experience I had with that monitor with that said I hopefully I haven't heard
100% back from AMD yet but I hopefully have another freesync monitor coming
soon that has a 40 HZ to 144 HZ window
where I'll be able to much more comfortably game within that window now
the cool thing about free sync is that it does support vsync on and
vsync off so you can actually choose if
your frame rate goes above the maximum refresh rate of your monitor you can get
that extra or that that that slight reduction in input latency that you get
from higher frame rates um but you'll have to deal with
tearing once we get really good examples of both sides it would be an interesting
thing to do like I know you're doing your like single one comparison whatnot
but a side by side comparison I would love to I think that would be awesome I
think something like Ben Q's freesync monitor the 40244 versus the r Swift
would be a perfect example there you go that' be really cool we got to do something like that maybe when you're
back we do have a couple more things about 390x but yeah we should do that
when I'm back I think we'll have both by then okay um so couple things uh blah
blah blah oh yeah it's apparently going to have a 496 bit wide HPM memory bus
with up to 8 gigs of RAM clocked at 1.25
GHz so we are talking way more memory bandwidth than
GTX Titan X completely new memory technology and AMD claims it will be uh
it claims single Precision floating Point performance figure of 8.6 Tera
flops the thing looks like an absolute Beast the bad news is that AMD isn't
rumored to have anything else to flesh out their lineup and the rumor that the
last rumor I heard is that a lot of the other 300 series cards are going to be
Reb Badges of existing 200 series
cards so there's that at least they've got something and the the one at the top
end kind of often I'll see I don't know how true this is anymore but at least
back in the day when I was getting people to try to get into computers I'd
see people find and like this is why it's very unsurprising that our videos
on crazy Titan cards get a whole bunch of views people will find like oh that's
the super awesome card that I want now I'll go as similar as I can but in my
price range yep so if they make the 390x that kicks freaking but they might still
sell more AMD cards regardless well there's so much stuff that's like that
whether it's motorcycles or cars or or
almost anything it's it's a brand image right like uh for example the the house
we're in right now is um a morning star
or something like that like it's a reputable Builder and uh when we were
buying it like that was a selling point it's a Morning Star Home the inspection
that we had done because we're not idiots and we get inspections done um
the inspection that we had done actually revealed a ton of problems with it um
most of which obviously weren't a big enough issue for us to to not go ahead
and and you know be here filming videos all the time but reveal a bunch of
problems with it because that's the thing is a brand is just a brand that
actually has nothing to do with how good that individual product is you should
rate it on a product by product but that is how so many people buy and even
yourself even knowing better have you ever done it yeah I have I've done it
I'll walk into Home Depot I'll be like oh I've heard Bosch is good I own I own
a bunch of husky products so I'll like I had to buy I had to buy a hammer and a
level the other day cuz I've always used my dad's and I don't live at home
anymore so it was like oh buying tools sucks hey okay it does but it's fun it
does and like I I've been borrowing stuff and I'm trying to like return it
so I'll give him stuff back and then be like oh crap that means I have to go get
one now so like I had a hammer and a level from him for years and then I had
years wow you're a terrible sign seriously and then I was like okay I should return this and I give it back
and then I have to buy one like the next freaking week um so I go to the store
I'm like I don't know what to get and I felt a whole bunch of them and eventually like it came down to a few
but I was like H it's like it's like three extra dollars it like feels better
in my hands it feels good I I have a lot of their products already it'll probably
be fine yep might not even actually be better there you go and tools are tools
are like a hilarious one because it's always like lifetime warranty Built
Tough who has ever claimed warranty on a hammer yeah when a hammer dies you're
probably it's probably cuz you're using it and you need one now now so you go
buy one and then who's going to get around to warranty a $9 Hammer not me it
cost $9 to ship something in Canada so unless they kind of always wanted to
make like a tool review Channel but I don't know if people would actually
watch it I it was one of the things that I thought about with like lius Media
Group earlier on and if I knew anything about tools it might have happened right
all right let's uh let's move on this one was posted by Good Bites yeah I
couldn't do it it would have to be somewh that last one was from me down
you so this one's from Good Bites m Microsoft clarifies the whole Windows 10
upgrades will be free for pirated Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well so the
original article here is from neowin.net I'm going to go ahead and pull this up
and have you posted that in the chat get on it so upgrading to Windows 10 on
pirated versions won't get you a valid license with it's it's it's it is
technically the upgrade process is free
yes they didn't lie you can upgrade it just doesn't change your license
conditions yes so you're still on a pirated version um what that means
exactly doesn't appear to be 100% clear
yet so we don't know if you know Microsoft obviously knows who's doing
what so we don't know if all of a sudden we're going to be allowed to change our
desktop backgrounds on pirated copies or
if we're going to be able to do this or be able to do that but uh Pirates can
rest assured that they will get an upgrade to Windows 10 with that said I
don't think Pirates were generally concerned about getting an upgrade from
Microsoft to Windows 10 anyway so I don't really I I don't really see the
point yeah of this I I actually think in
my theorizing brain yeah that they are going to do more limiting on Windows 10
for people that have non- genuine licenses and what I think they're trying
to do is get people off of the earlier ones where there's essentially no
limiting other than like making your desktop backgr it down and then crack
down on people so trying to get people the voluntarily upgrade so that they can
crack down on them yeah I think that's what's happening I don't know that it
would make sense to me I don't know
we're going to have a lot of machines to upgrade to Windows 10 cuz we didn't go
Windows 8 on a lot of our computers like we got a lot of people commenting oh you
guys are running Windows 7 on whether it's a test bench or whether it's my
machine like yeah I'm running Windows 7 because I'm not spending $100 on Windows
8 for a workstation that's stupid but Windows 10 does look like it's going to
be a pretty compelling upgrade even if just for the better support for uh UI
and text scaling y um so text scaling
we're potentially moving to all 4K monitors on our editing workstations
that's something we're working on with LG right now um so everyone's going to
need Windows 10 kind of regardless in order to have a decent computer and like
we were kind of able to get away with like Windows 7 benchmarking for a long
time but probably have to move that up we'll have to absolutely because Windows
10 is going to be the only one with directx12 support
so I thought Windows 7 was getting direct X2 nope get ready for the growing
pains all right so a Japanese supercomputer has simulated 1 second of
brain activity this was posted by Jers in the Forum so let's go ahead and you
didn't know that did you they had said at one point in time that is com to
Windows 7 yeah now they're saying blah blah blah it would require a complete
like reworking of whatever yeah so no forget it uh so
superu models 1 second of human brain activity the most accurate simulation of
the human brain ever has been carried out but a single seconds worth of
activity took one of the largest super computers 40 minutes to calulate with
75,200
wait till your phone can do that I know right sick or wait till that thing
that's with you can do that okay so let's let's let's do let's do a let's do
some quick number crunching here so 40 minutes time
60 is uh
2400 seconds okay so 2400 what's like
root 2400 I don't remember how to do that on a calculator okay so
48 times so root rooot 2400 hold on this
second no no I want the exponential route or whatever why are you doing this
can can you can you help me what are you trying to calculate okay Mo's law
doubling of transistors I want to know how long until we can do this in real
time oh whatever someone in twitch will do the math and will make me feel dumb
and then I'll be able to tell you guys and that's how that will work so how far
are we away from AI probably that
far crazy hey that's that's pretty far actually still it is pretty far still
but it's it's within scope um researchers used the K computer in Japan
uh to replicate uh a network consisting of 1.73 billion nerve cells connected by
10.4 trillion synapses the achievement
offers neuroscientists a glimpse of what can be achieved by using Next Generation
computers so-called exoscale Computing and uh so exoscale computers are those
which can carry out a quintilian floating Point operations per second an
important Milestone as is thought to be the same power as a human brain and
therefore opens the door to potential realtime simulation of the organ's
activity Intel has said that it aims to
have such a machine in operation by
2018 I don't think that it won't be your phone it'll be no I know but I don't
think that lines up with the mors laog no it doesn't at all actually no so
there then the K computer is technically not brand new either yeah the K computer
is not the fastest supercomputer by any the fast super computer and it's
definitely not brand new um woo that's actually pretty crazy also
a little scary and we should segue from crazy and scary Sky could be coming In
Our Lifetime right we should segue from crazy and scary to where the hell is
it I don't know what you're talking about uh musk confirms Tesla will never
make an undrivable car oh this won't even be that big of a segment but I
wanted to bring this up um posted by popman on the Forum did you post that on
Twitch already I will right now uh Tesla strongly favors people being able to
drive their cars if they want um or like
a manual takeover let me get back over to the notes here real quick um however
self-driving cars may become safer than human driven cars and the public may
actually demand to Outlaw human driven cars at some point in time and he's a
little worried about that um because he
is very famously kind of scared of the whole AI takeover thing right which is
not surprising and being able to fully a human brain in
2018 yeah I don't know I'm super excited
for a to do it because there's still a lot more that needs to be done even once
we have the computing power but that is true that's a good even so I mean I
don't think a self-driving car ever needs to have ai I think a self-driving
car they super will can always be pretty
dumb but they totally will yeah they they'll need certain because it'll be
able to interact with you differently and you're going to have dri cars with
Siri built into it and maybe Siri is the one that's actually driving because it's
managing the maps application and maybe Siri is the one that ends up taking over
the world maybe it already has a name
siret super serious
yep okay oh my God Apple should make a cereal called
cereal why would Apple make
cereal well okay maybe they should shouldn't do that but they should make
one thing after another after another cuz then they're
oh all right so Samsung's round
Smartwatch speaking of making one thing after another after another with no
discernable strategy uh Samsung's round
Smartwatch is coming uh this the this
was posted by nine shadow on the four I'm going to go ahead and pop this up
and uh if this seems like a reaction to other round smartwatch
then that's probably what it is I think there were better I thought there were
better pictures of this yeah like that one what link is that in minus Tech
tip's website bro oh okay well get wrecked bro you you get wrecked bro
whatever bro bro got like a this thing is driving me
crazy by the way we should actually no we shouldn't I'll take it back forget
about it don't worry about it no okay it's cool I was going to say the front
page thing but they can't click on it I don't think anyways right so don't worry
about it okay okay fine I give up I'm I'm loading up I'm loading up our site I
was trying to I was trying to refer to the site that that it came from rather
than we can give them props yeah sure
all right so that is what it looks like it will look like um yeah so if that
looks similar to another round Smartwatch then I guess that probably
makes sense cuz there's only so many things you can do with an LCD display
and a metal little band around it it does have a crown so that's uh that's
definitely different from the Moto 360 um it also has a button you mean like
yeah apparently the camera is coming back so I'm not sure if that's confirmed
or a rumor yet I honestly I've done very little prep on the dock this week I
filmed an unbelievable number of videos this week um and including a build guide
I was here at the office until after 1:00 a.m. last night working on that so
our subzero build guide is in the editing queue right now I'm extremely
excited about that anyway well this is cool it'll have a rotating bezel ring so
if you wanted to use it for navigation or something then like that's super cool
I don't see people replacing their submariners with this you know instantly
and so the kinds of people who would want navigation on their wrist might be
the kinds of people who would like submariners and like I I don't I don't
know that that particular navigation rotating dial thing is going to sell
anyone on it but that's kind of cool I still think we need the watch that I
proposed a long time ago which is like those exact watches that we're talking
about but with a transparent display on the top yes yeah so that even if you
don't charge it for a month it just doesn't matter but if you're like H I
kind of want to be able to use the smart watch just plug it in overnight and you're good the stupid thing is that
that's the most obvious idea ever and whoever finally does it first is going
to be hailed as some kind of like Visionary genius and it'll be like like
one one of the like the the the real uh
the real watch brands is going to do it it and then all the watch officient AOS
who have been calling SmartWatches stupid are going to be like well we were just waiting for someone to do it right
because they have that brand loyalty it's going to have nothing to do with the actual technology yep um this one's
going to be called the orbis and can be used on a Banda clip a keychain or a
bracelet no word on pricing I did get word from Pebble I am not getting a
Pebble Steel but I think I'm getting a regular Pebble time or Pebble time steel
or steel time or whatever anyway Pebble Steel time Steel
time um Microsoft Windows 10 ROM for
Android phones so this was posted by aing on the Forum the original article
here is from trusted reviews as far as I can tell today everything is posted by
aing yeah aing on a roll this week um so
Microsoft wants to put Windows 10 on your Android phone this particular
picture here happens to be a just regular Windows 10 phone that's also
available on Android flavors the 1 M8 and happens to be uh and that also
happens to be the uh the source of a lot of disgruntled viewers who were like
super upset at me for saying that Windows phone has like no place on a
high-end phone um so hopefully that
isn't going to be true anymore but at any rate um for some reason if you
wanted to put Windows maybe Windows Phone 10 will be like way better or I
shouldn't call it Windows Phone 10 cuz it's Windows 10 but like the phone
version will be like way better or something so the official statement is
through a new program with Z meink one of the top smartphone distributors in
the world a select group of me4 power users will be invited to help test
Windows 10 and contribute to its future release later this year they'll have the
opportunity to download the Windows 10 technical preview install it and provide
their feedback to Microsoft so it'll effectively override Android turning it
into a Windows 10 device I don't know how it's done on mobile but I and I
don't know if this is still a thing but I know for a while they're uh Windows 10
at least for desktop had a pretty hardcore key logger in it so might want
to look into the Privacy stuff before you install this on your
phone because it's like I understand the reason why they have it it's because
they're trying to test things so they kind of want to know what you're doing with the device and they're not hiding
it they tell you about it um but a lot of people kind of just Spam next like me
um so you might not notice if you're going to put it on your phone they might
be listening to a little bit more more than what you're doing on your computer I don't know might want to just look
into that so just be vigilant be wary
yeah be excellent to each other speaking of being excellent to each other we
should be excellent to our sponsors linda.com is the first sponsor
of today's W show this is my sponsor voice it's very different from my
regular voice because it's much more obnoxious you wouldn't have thought it
possible would you no anyway linda.com is used by millions of people around the
world think about that millions of people that's a lot of people that's
like more than 1 million yeah and at
least 2 million that's potentially a number of millions yeah it could be any
number of millions we actually don't know they have more than 3,000 courses
available with topics like web development photography visual design
and business and they offer software training so linda.com is not just for
like young people looking to start their career and like learn something new it's
also great for developing and like kind of catching up on skills that have sort
of caught you by surprise over the last little bit so while you guys might
already have a linda.com subscription or maybe you don't feel like you need one
what about your parents who don't know how to use word or Excel or whatever
else linda.com has experts teaching you in a friendly manner at your own pace

price is actually worth it for you they offer a 10day free trial by heading over
to linda.com slw show so you can go
ahead and try it out find out if it's right for you and then start learning
today we have another sponsor today and I don't know who it is because I went
ahead and I scrolled somewhere else in the thing here oh oh cool oh our second
sponsor today is Mast drop we like Mast drop except that they keep stealing my
money well it's not really stealing they just they have deals on their Master
thank you can you just it's not really stealing if they
just have deals on their site and then I willingly give them my credit card
information that's like definely not stealing not stealing at all opposite
right so buying things well anyway whatever we have a feature dropped today
these are the Audio Technica MSR
7s and now they're being worn by a clown
yay wow noise isolation on these is actually excellent this might be the
only time that they're won by a clown all right this is an over-the-ear closed
back headphone it's got 45mm true motion
drivers it's available in black or gunmetal and Mast drop is offering a
special bundle with the antl mod mic and a headphone stand that's pretty cool
that is a pretty cool pretty a pretty good deal pretty ba gaming setup anyway
the point is whether you're interested in these headphones or not mass drop has
lots of cool stuff so if you head over to
dropwow you can I know right draw draw

Mast drop Works directly with manufacturers and distri Distributors to
make sure that the products you're buying are genuine and they are the best
possible deal so let's go ahead and move on to our last sponsor another one of my
favorite sponsors it's like all the like awesome sponsors that we like use all
the time here today sorry about that that was my bad okay so let's go ahead
and drop this baby in here so this is
the iFix it prot te toolkit and this is
like some Glam b-roll that Burl shot of it oh you have one on You Luke oh it's
yours okay well whatever the point is it has tons of hard to find bits like security
Tores those Tri WIS that were up there a second ago it comes with an antistatic
wrist strap as well as a variety of little pokers and prodders and prying
tools I use this thing I won't say every
day because some days I don't go to work
and I don't have any personal projects that I'm working on but what I will say
is I use this multiple times per week
and multiple times per month I run into
a situation where there would have been no other way for me to deal with it yeah
that's more what I run into actually I don't use it maybe as frequently as you
do but there are probably just as many times where I would have to use it I
literally have it in my backpack at all times yeah so there's that so you you
guys are going to want to use offer code wow 03 to save 10 bucks on any purchase
of $50 or more from my fix it they have great guides on how to fix your
electronics and then conveniently what a racket these guys have conveniently they
list all the tools you need from their web store in order to complete a
forementioned repair the good news is that you can afford to buy yourself a
bunch of Cool Tools from them fix that
thing for what you would have spent and sometimes less than what you would have spent having someone else do it in the
first place and now you own a bunch of tools very often uh less than you would
have spent my just completely cut out there but yeah all right so let's go
ahead and move on to our next topic of the show here what do you got why do you
keep holding that up should we remember we were going to talk about the oh right
you talk about it that yeah we're he's finally doing it you guys he's finally
doing it tell what it is I
guess you're red a I think I could have gone for the
so it's an iPhone and I have no idea what I'm doing with it I don't
understand how this thing works at all it's an iPhone 5S it's a 5S okay yeah um I wasn't going
to do this switch but then something that we're using as a backend for
something super specific has an app that
I like super need to use because I need to be able to monitor how it's working
very closely over the next little while and they only have an iPhone app so I
have to use the yell is hitting the twitch chat now RP ears RP ears my bad
um so yeah I had to at least temporarily
at the very least give up my Moto X for an iPhone 5S see how that goes for you
really similar sizing yeah the iPhone's a little smaller yeah
you may actually end up liking it after a while you have to give it like at least a month I think okay there's some
super crazy frustrating stuff already one like the super cool fingerprint
thing doesn't work at all I spent like 10 minutes trying to get my fingerprint
working on it and everying time there would be like one line left and it's
like no no I don't know what that You'
got to be you've got to be doing it wrong okay no seriously no it works for
me every time it doesn't work at all I don't even know how to do it I'll help
you I'll help you I'll help you I wanted to do it live so people don't think I'm crazy okay privacy Touch ID and passcode
oh oh oh you got this no yeah privacy why would it be under privacy that's
stupid what I'm kidding that makes perfect sense okay okay they can't
really all right okay don't move your finger too much okay okay yeah wait you
got to leave it on leave it on leave it on wait it it's doing the vibrate thing oh okay okay it tells you when it's done
okay yeah watch it work the first time
finger moved I did not move my
finger okay okay it's filling in yeah it
would normally get here yeah okay
uhhuh try a different finger this fingerprint cannot be red do you just
have like unreadable fingerprints no they look super normal to me maybe try
like cleaning it off and like clean off your finger or something before you
before you try again okay well I I'll try it again and talk you try that and
I'll I'll do another Topic in the meantime let's see if you can let's see if you can do it you keep keep working
on it live let them let them see okay so he's going to keep he's going to keep
working on that uh in the meantime I actually do have some apple stuff to
talk about oh this is unfortunate we actually had an entire separate um topic
for free sync posted by Spartan on the Forum um and I think I think we talked
about pretty much all of this already so
thanks Spiderman yeah there's that thanks Spiderman SP Spiderman we Pizza in his
another article posted by nine shadow on the Forum you I guess they can't really
see it there's like two lines left and I hold my finger and it fills them and
then it vibrates and they go oh I got it no it didn't yeah no no it did adjust
your grip now you can now you do the rest of the finger you got you got this bro you got this all right you just need
to my encouragement to uh the moral support to make it to the end
yeah uh
okay this is from 9 to 5 mac Apple to launch Android device tradein program to
encourage iPhone upgrades very very
interesting now this isn't the first time that Apple has done some kind of an
upgrade program in fact they first introduced one um can't remember I read
this article and I knew the date but someone who did the notes for this
article didn't put it in the notes no big deal but anyway they did one in the
past for their own devices and they saw a big boost in sales well now they are
offering it for Blackberry and Android
devices so Apple resil store employees after a training program are going to be
able to determine tradein values for devices by considering their cosmetic
and functional condition they will be able to transfer address book contacts
from the Rival smartphones to iPhones but other data will have to be moved by
the customer it'll be available in multiple countries including the United
States and United Kingdom so um the
existing tradein program is known for its consistency and convenience but
pricing is typically not necessarily the best I think Amazon offers an excellent
one where they do a quote over the internet and then they send it back to you extremely quickly they offer you a
label so you don't even to pay shipping and stuff like that so there you go guys
very interesting that's awesome oh this
is cool okay yeah so are are like our
new Bros like these guys are definitely are Bros because they like make cool
stuff and it's pretty cool 45 drives if
you guys have heard of these before okay if you if you've heard of back Blaze
before uh these guys kind of it's a long
relationship and you can actually read about it on the 45 drives blog but it's
a long relationship that eventually has turned turned into the development of
the storage pod the 45 drive for you
storage pod one of which is actually going to be it would have been here now
and I would have been able to like show it to you guys if there wasn't a 100 cm
of snow drop on the 45 drives guys not
allowing them to ship it to us but basically it is what it says it is it is
a single for you rack mount case that holds s
45 drives and is able to handle sustained speeds in excess of 1 gab per
second they are highly customizable they are they're actually they're sending us
one that we're going to be deploying at our new office as a mass storage 100
plus terabyte server we have a really really exciting new server setup coming
we're going to have multiple servers instead of just one one thing we should
do though just so that uh Looney can stop having a hernia is once we get all
these things deployed we need to post them on the 10 terab thread we will on
the Forum we will we will we are going to we are going to make our own thread
in the Forum oh that's a little the 100 tbte thread oh wrecked yeah that's it's
a 10 terab plus thread well we are going to make a 100 tbyte plus thread to
coexist and we're going to join both clubs because the way this is going to
work is we are going to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 plus drives
installed in our 45 drives rack and uh
it is going to be bananas now this is kind of cool they actually have a couple
of other products as well that they just launched um so they they have the the 45
one that I think I've talked about a fair bit but they actually have a quiet
one now so something that most server
grade gear is not is quiet if you've ever fired up like a rack mount switch
or any kind of like especially like a one U or a 2u server those things are
tiny little fans in it and then just rip them at like 5,000 RPM so the one that
they originally wanted to send us until I explained that we had like probably 50
to 60 terabytes of storage sitting on drives on a shelf in our bathroom
already was the q30 here and the idea is that this is for like Video Production
Studios and offices they actually custom build all their rigs they're more like
they're actually more like a custom like a boutique they're more like a boutique
system builder than like a um than like
strictly speaking like a like a storage Appliance
the and then one unfortunately this I had opportunity to
get in on I didn't even know the xl0 was coming they now have a 60 Drive single
for you rack 60 redundant power and boot
drives and 10 gbit Ethernet can we get
that one uh no it's like a full additional like ,500
Canadian dollars so yes but there are Bros right they're not yeah I know right
they're not bros so they're not bu right or something I don't know they're not
cheap but that does include Hardware so that includes like motherboard CPU RAM
power supply case does not includes a 10 GB land blah blah blah all that stuff
but does not include drives so uh guys
stay tuned because we have like a crazy setup so okay I'll tell you guys a fair
bit we're hoping and this is not confirmed yet we're hoping to have a
purely solid state large rate array for
like the day-to-day Drive really big like a really big rate array then then
we're hoping to have like a similar siiz magnetic rate array for like I mean
given how fast that SSD array is going to be we could do like hourly backups
realistically like there's no reason we couldn't do that we're going to have IO
to spare so we could do like hourly backups to that then we're going to have
the 45 Drive storinator which by the way is going to be customized with like our
logo on the front and stuff sick yeah I know right so we're going to have the
storinator to Archive everything else
from that point on so I'm extremely excited about these guys make super cool
products and uh someone in the chat just said and you can't afford AC normally
I'd like jump on with that and be like yeah but like no if when you run a
company your data is extremely important yeah data is so much more important than
being cool losing all of your data can crush your entire company yep so like
would you spend $10,000 to save your entire company yes would you spend
$10,000 to be a bit more comfortable if you're me no look at my car point point
proven QED suckers all right let's go
ahead and uh oh this is this is crazy um
this was uh the original article here was posted by actually the old NCI
cameraman linked me to this we still chat once in a while um it's a post on
hardocp from someone claiming to be an employee Tiger Direct closing most North
American retail stores apparently all but three of them are or excuse me all
but four of them are closing so uh the
post here says that uh there's lots of screaming yelling and tears people are
in disarray especially the ones that have been with the company a very long time and here are some of the signs that
you're going to see soon I mean you know
what when's the last time you like were compelled to buy anything on Tiger
Direct I didn't know they had retail stores okay well they don't hear but
they they do in Canada like they do in uh in Ontario okay I read this and was
like what yeah oh yeah cuz they acquired
CompUSA back in the day okay I actually knew who they were yeah so they took
their stores and they had their own stores already if I recall correctly like tiger used to be I knew who they
were from like old gaming magazines like old PC Gamers before
there was like YouTube the the the the PC Hardware margin structure does not
support retail stores the reason that
your local retail computer store exists
is yeah yeah services and like overcharging
because you can call it overcharging if you could buy it online at Amazon or NCI
or whatever for cheaper you could call that overcharging but what I'll say is
that they're not overcharging if that's the margin that they have to charge in order to keep the walls up and the heat
on and the AC on in their store so I
don't know you can call that whatever you want um because there is not a lot
of margin in this and tiger was a heavily retail oriented business so if
you look at other retails stores ncx for example has retail stores but they're
supported by an extremely large online and busino business division two two
extra divisions that help make those retail stores make sense um so this does
not surprise me um you know I I don't know what the answer is but it felt it
felt like back when I was especially in the computer retailer business it really
felt like something had to be done at
some level you know whether it's like Seagate enforcing minimum price ing or
whoever enforcing minimum pricing and a lot of the time it did exist minimum
advertis price map price that that is a thing that exists particularly in the US
I think it Apple does it like crazy I can't remember if it's illegal in Canada
or it used to be and isn't anymore I don't remember map map price is like I
don't think it's technically enforcable anyway like I would sit there and I
would go how do we fix this how do we make this sustainable business so
someone other than NVIDIA and Intel is making money in this industry um and no
answer came so I'm not in the computer retailer business business it's no
longer my problem if any of this stuff sells or makes any
money wrecked um halflife 3 this is posted by
romelo be the best halflife 3 is
apparently not likely um Gabe Newell in a recent
interview kind of came on and was like well look I get it like you know story
driven stuff is like good and like you
know if there's like a novel series that
I enjoy or TV show and I want to know what happens next like that's super cool
and there's a lot of anticipation um but then he goes on to
talk about how valve's business model and the the landscape of gaming has
changed and I think he said something I don't remember the exact quote but uh
the only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a
whole bunch of people just internally at valve said they wanted to do it and had
a reasonable explanation for why they wanted to do it but you know if you want
to do another halflife game and you want to ignore everything we've learned in
shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side that
seems like a bad choice so we'll keep moving forward but that doesn't
necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean so does this
mean like a halflife MMO or halflife
some kind of like freet to-play like MOA or like I I don't know what this means
maybe it means a novelization um maybe it means I don't
know I think they're just throwing money way because of their corporate structure
I don't think they need it they don't need it you're right but if you can
learn from Apple having ridiculous or
specifically Nintendo if you can learn from Nintendo having a ridiculous amount
of money sitting in the bank so that if something changes down the line and
everyone's like oh my God Nintendo is totally failing they're going to be
bankrupt in two days and they're like oh wait they have money for 25 years it's
not a bad thing it's not a bad position to be in I I think they should push halflife but oh well like just looking
at the amount of demand they could just release like a
pretty good version like the like we tried pretty hard but I don't think they
want to do that no I'm not saying they would and I don't think they want to do
that but if they did it would still be a huge smashing hit yep like and valve
would go over the top and do it right and then it would be ridiculously
massive and make butt tons of money so basically the the tldr is we don't feel
like that yeah we don't feel like doing it nope yeah we're making an awful lot
of money because you suckers buy Team Fortress hats
so basically yeah Team Fortress hats and CSO skins they make way more off Team
Fortress hats and csgo skins than they do off S the game yeah I mean for all
the you know Lord gab Ben stuff and all that kind of stuff and valve worshipping
that goes on mostly I hope they're just
a business yeah like they do things the
way that they do them and they have that Integrity because it works there's that
famous Gabe new quote don't lie to the internet because they'll catch you he
didn't say don't lie to the internet because it's wrong like yeah let's not let's not
misund understand what valve is as a company they're a company they exist to
ship products that are profitable for them as a company they don't do things
out of the just like Joy of you know doing things all day I mean I think that
if it was just purely for Joy they
wouldn't worry about little microtransaction at every step here and
there and I'm not saying that many of the developers at valve probably close
to all of them I'm not saying they don't do it out of joy and out of passion they
definitely do anyone in that kind of an industry has got to have some passion
for it I'm just saying it's a business the things they do are calculated
business decisions not random
yeah um all
right there are really cool things they felt does all right blah blah blah okay uh
this was posted by Thomas D and the original article here is from torrent
freak and the FCC internet policy thing
is actually looking not as fantas
terrific as uh as some people might have
hoped I think we called it so uh you called it specifically I don't think I
did so they included a copyright loophole that many protested against uh
nothing in in this in this part prohibits a reasonable effort by a
provider of broadband internet access service to address copyright
infringement or other unlawful activity the FCC argues that copyright
infringement hurts the economy so isps are free to take appropriate measures
against this traffic activists have stated that carving a copyright loophole
in net neutrality would leave your lawful activities at the mercy of over
Brad copyright filtering schemes and we already have plenty of experience with
copyright enforcers targeting legitimate users by mistake carelessness or design
so remember guys this is an article on torrentfreak.com we know exactly what
their focus is it's right in the name yeah but that doesn't mean that the
Whole Net Neutrality thing is as cut and dried as yeah neutral internet there's a
huge you get that speed everywhere all the time no matter what yeah it was
never going to be huge potential loophole now and like the the a big
problem with copyright law is that it's so abusable on both sides not even just
one so they could be like oh well you
like screenshotted a page therefore made
a copy of a photo once 5 years ago therefore you get 10% speed all the time
screw I'll do my put my hair up go I get
why my wife does that now that makes a big difference she's always like yeah
I'm warm I'm putting my hair up I'm like how could that possibly help it helps I
got Insight today har is an insulator how did you not figure that out well no
I know I know but I didn't I didn't think just the back of your neck made that big of a diffence i whatever screw
you man um all right so our next topic today posted by
four Andrew with a four and a capital N for whatever reason Tesla is now allowed
to sell directly in New Jersey this shouldn't be news this should never have
been anything they should have been able to sell their cars or whoever they want
regardless and do it directly without dealerships but I think you look better
with your hair up thank you but the uh
the governor made it uh made it banned and then now it has
been reversed one year after they were originally told they were not allowed to
do it there are some stipulations I think they have to have what four retail stores and a service center no they're
only allowed to open four retail stores and they must open one service center
they should be allowed to have as many stores as they want yeah that's so stupid I love the quote from Elon
Musk comes after Elon Musk compared local dealers to a mafia protection
racket subverting the Democratic process
bam you got told son it's kind of true
yep it's like the whole Taxi Driver thing here in Vancouver where like uber
cannot be here because by law only taxis
may drive you places yeah you have got to be kidding me a better service comes
along and you are it's not allowed to compete with the crappy service like can
you imagine if when the refrigerator was invented like like no ice boxes are the
only thing allowed being sold in Vancouver yeah or or like restaurants
may not use refrigerators they must use ice boxes because what would happen What
would happen to the ice Harvesters if not for the I don't know maybe they
could go be refrigerator salespeople like the world changes with that taxi
drivers could become Uber drivers whoa I
know and then they might actually have to be polite to their
customers whoa and like if they screw
you over and go the wrong route cuz you're tired and just got off a plane
you could dispute the fair and get your money back
wa which Brandon and I have done quite a few times on trips really we'll compare
the trip we'll get back to the hotel and be like that seemed like a roundabout
like it seemed like they went the long way and then we just Google Maps check
out the Uber map of the drive that we just did be like hm dispute get money
back it's happened like quite a few times just like that man and you because
you'll be able to see like this was the route he did this
okay like I like with Google Maps it'll give you traffic information so
sometimes it'll even check in the car instead of correcting it we'll be like whatever I'll just work on my phone then
we get there and dispute like whatever Get Wrecked son
yeah all right so Nintendo's next console NX which basically only exists
as a slide in a presentation about that they're working on something uh this was
posted by top war gamer on the Forum and the original article here is from Kotaku
and I'm just going to wait for the article to come up so that you guys can
have like the punch line now available for
pre-order what I love the picture that they used like EB Games Australia
Nintendo have confirmed and by the way it's has confirmed e games Nintendo have
confirmed they're developing a dedicated gaming platform normally I wouldn't be a
stickler about something like that I wouldn't be like haha you are a bad person because you used wrong words but
like when you're being an idiot in general already and okay and when it's
like the Press output of a I'm going to like store I'm going to pile on with the
code name NX they've said more info will
come next year it's
March like next year isn't like and that's more info next year isn't 6 weeks
from now like the NX is now available
for pre-order in
store we literally know absolutely
nothing about it I mean aside from wanting to be the person with bragging
rights because you were the first person who pre-ordered a Nintendo NX or
whatever they end up calling it maybe they'll call it the poo this time cuz we
left too much to the imagination um I I
I it's ridiculous I'm done absolutely ridiculous like they're they're trying
to redo the Duke Nukem thing where people had like pre-order slips from 10
years ago like people are going to have
pre-order strips from literally possibly 2 years cuz they're like we will give you more information next year not it's
releasing next year this will give you more information they'll be like oh it's
a this like they announced the Wii a while
before it came out MH they announced things before they come out the Nintendo
Direct is awesome I love Nintendo Direct all right let's go ahead and uh
oh I showed the document instead of the actual page that I'm supposed to show uh
this was posted by Victoria Secret and you know how Macs just work and they're
super secure apparently Safari's private browsing mode saves URLs in an in an
easily accessible file so uh this this
shot is great love that I wonder if he created this screenshot at work like no
no really I have to go on PornHub so that I can like make a screenshot of how
I went on PornHub really I promise that's why I'm on PornHub he did only go
to the homepage oh I guess that's
true yep look at that database structure
page URL boom so if you're using saf s
on your Mac for your private browsing needs you might want to not do that like
at all that's so
awkward yeah now everyone in the audience that has like a brother or
sister that owns a Mac is going to run and go look at their private browsing
his wreck them hey Mom and Dad
look oh don't tell them we told you we
don't want to get like Angry calls from like people's parents being like or like
tweets like my son told me that I blah
blah blah I was shopping for one of these that's my personal thing I keep in
my nightstand I didn't think my husband did
that oh yeah you ruined our
marriage wow I don't want to be responsible for that all right so NVIDIA
this is posted by aming on the Forum so kit guru.net
um says that NVIDIA's Pascal
architectures Envy link could enable
8way multi-GPU
capabilities holy ball because scaling
on four-way wasn't bad enough well it
also promises some other improvements including better communication between
the Cards in SLI which is one of the big reasons that SLI doesn't scale as well
as it could because you need a ton of
bandwidth in order like the more cards you add the more they all have to talk
with each other and with the RAM sharing thing y they have to actually share that
that's a lot of talking yep yep so uh so
blah blah blah blah blah even the Intel cor 759 60x only has 40 PCIe 3.0 Lanes
therefore uh can connect up to four cards using PCIe
3.8x NVIDIA will Implement support of their proprietary EnV link bus into its
next Generation Pascal gpus each EnV
link pointto Point connection will support 20 Gigabytes per second of
bandwidth in both directions simultaneously and each Pascal highend
GPU will support at least four such
links so PCI Express bandwith would be
preserved for CPU to GPU Communications
and that's it it's projected to deliver up to two times higher performance in
many applications compared to PCIe um among peer gpus so IBM
apparently plans to add nvy link to select power processors for
supercomputers as well so just to be
clear that 20 GB per second of bandwidth
between cards is about half of what a card has total right now to communicate
with like you know if it had to overflow to system memory or communicate with the
CPU or with another GPU or like two other gpus balling that's crazy yeah
this is this is just generally crazy um
I really want to be we got to make sure that they give us eight cards yeah I
want multi- GPU scaling to not suck that would be super cool
yeah I think that's pretty much all I had for the show today I could do a live
unboxing of the new Razer Blade I can talk more about this I had other
complaints why don't I go get the razor blade while you talk about that but
that's like all the topics I have for this week yeah why don't we do a Twitter
Blitz yeah we haven't done a Twitter Blitz in forever okay well it's open
season guys hit us at lusch on Twitter and uh and negatives of me switching to
an iPhone we'll take your uh we'll take your we'll take your tweets when I get
back with the oh wait is there no it's not question yeah just open-ended wow
it's been a while I know we haven't done that in Forever we've always got so many
topics to cover we do all right I'm getting up here finally a week where it
wasn't super I have to log in with my finger wait what oh oh it's an or
yeah and you can set up multiple fingers too try
again try again wow you suck at life try
again I'm going to assume it's try again come
on your passcode is required to enable Touch ID
really okay so my other complaints if uh
I I I needed this for a piece of backend
software for something that I'm using or not piece of backend software for an app
that monitors a piece of backend software that I'm using for a project
that I'm not going to talk about right now it doesn't work on on Android they
only have an iPhone app so I had to switch from my Moto X to a iPhone 5S I
think this is yeah hey the background moves a little bit when I move it around
that's kind of distracting uh anyways so
the first thing that I do when I get the phone is like okay I want to use this freaking app to see if it like works
properly because I switched to this freaking phone for this freaking app so
the freaking app better work properly so I go to download it and I go into the
store and I'm like okay this is fairly straightforward search type the thing in
uh install next whatever and then it
sits there for like a super long time doing absolutely nothing and I'm like
what the hell and like 5 minutes later it's like I need a password for this and
I need you to type it in like three times and enable this thing and click
next here and all this kind of stuff I'm like I'm trying to install a free app
why do you need all this crap like why is this so ridiculous ridiculous and
then it sent me like six emails cuz it's like you logged in on this device and
you activated this thing and you downloaded this free app which you
apparently need an invoice email for and like all this other crap how El would
you know you didn't pay anything for it's so annoying bam stop messing with
me I'll never stop messing with you it's
annoying me and then like okay okay I went to go install Twitter and Instagram
and I noticed on both of them there was a little tag that said essentials and I
was like oh that's cool maybe there's like a super incredibly Common App area
called Essentials and I can't find it oh yeah the App Store searches is not very
good it's terrible I I searched for Essentials I searched into uh what are
these popular categories popular collections I was like oh that's
obviously going to have Essentials but it has made in Canada just in case
anyone gave any craps that a that an app
was made in Canada ridiculous we're Canadian we're sort of over us not being
important that's fine that is fine all right so here we go um it's not even
there Browse by category books business catalogs education entertainment Finance
food and drink blah blah blah velocity asks will the Titan X deliver better
gaming performance than a 980 Kingpin yes of course yes a 980 is a 980 and it
can be a fast 980 but it's still a 980 although I do want to kind of do the
price for performance comparison thing between a king pan and titanex $700
versus $999 do you know of a third party Wi-Fi booster case to operate
quadcopters for longer distances haven't used anything like that personally
although I have heard that they um like like i' I've heard about them I don't
know if they specifically exist yet but in what format will videos about the new
office be um they'll probably be kind of Vlog style yeah um with bits of things
that happen um does the Razer Naga Mouse have
too many side buttons to be usable for games like Skyrim Minecraft and other
games with hot bars what kind of a question is that I don't actually get it
you count how many buttons it has and then you figure out how many things you want to bind to buttons and then that's
a very personalized I think you're attacking him a little bit too much I
think that was mean well no but like I think you need to take a step back here
what kind of a question is that buddy bro does it have too many s down buddy
you have too many buttons because like the the mobile one has less and they're
larger and more clickable so maybe he's like well your finger will get lost and
you don't need that but you can't ask if it has too many yeah oh come on now um
are you guys planning on reviewing the mrss 7 for mastertop I actually wasn't
planning to I've only listened to it very very briefly and uh headphone
reviews don't always do the best for us so like we have a bazillion other things
on the go right now so that was that was on the like bottom of the priority
list um I don't know wait what do we tweet to you about not that no
specifically that just got an r9290 first desktop GPU after a laptop for 4
years yeah that would be amazing holy crap um what's my take on Paul and Kyle
new show what's the difference between that and this show except clown suits
except it being worse they have no clown suits ours being clearly better yeah
because clown suits because I'm Kyle and you're Paul yeah you saw that yeah we we
had a show that was exactly their show were Kyle Paul Luke and lonus this this
so this show has four hosts we simulated The Experience yeah um were you
surprised by the titanex price uh yeah actually I was expecting it to be higher
I was expecting uh 1300 yeah I thought they were GNA go 12299 with it and but I
thought it would be double Precision so yes maybe that's what happened yeah I
think that's exactly what happened what do you think about the flash boost ah
this is a badminton racket question um I was like no I I didn't break it yet I
have actually I've whacked it on the floor once and I've had a couple of clashes with people I was playing with
someone who's like super inexperienced and um and she actually
whacked her racket against mine pretty bad and uh yeah that's who and um no it
didn't break the flash boost is is renowned for being made of glass and
breaking extremely quickly I was quite worried that it was going to break I did
get the 5u version which is the slightly not as light and fragile version so
maybe that saved it not 100% sure do you think there will be a 980 TI oh I don't
know no wait what no no wait no that
would that would completely break their naming scheme cuz the 980 is already a
fully enabled gm24 four so a TI would
only be a clock speed bump and I really don't think it has that much left in it
um whereas like a 780 versus uh so so
like so a 980 TI to be significantly faster than a 980 would have to be
gm200 which would be the same GPU as
Titan X which but then they've screwed with that before haven't they yeah maybe
they just really crippled gm200 once yields are better and costs are lower
yeah is 7500 live viewers a new record
that's a lot holy crap that is a lot
Richard says you're gonna grow to love the iPhone I any chance of doing super fight
on Channel Super Fun is this like a or something I have that oh I have that is
it that's a the card game you you get uh I've never played it but I have it oh no
we have a bunch they came in the super fun the super the The Loot Crate oh okay
cool yeah yeah let's do it it's like a you you get different attributes and you
essentially get like a fighter and then you have to debate over why your fighter
would beat the other person fighter oh wow that sounds like the most annoying
game ever to play with everyone here you
me burkel and Teran tan yeah us four
would be the most annoying people to fight against Taran will be the single
most obnoxious person in the world to play that game with um any more info on
the plans for the layout of the new office nothing yet but it's actually one
of our community members who designed the layout of the inside I don't know if even you know that and he's no I know
that yeah and so we're doing a really good job rapid development too we are
going to have him as a guest on the L show once it's done and uh we'll have
him sort of talk through a lot of the uh a lot of the process uh a lot of the
processes that went into it I've had some like feedback for him and he'll
instantly hit me back with a new rendered update like within minutes
which is insane I'll send him a question and I'll get an email back before I can
like go to another Tab and come back yep he's uh he's been incredible he's good
um so Peter asks is Acer sending you a freesync version of the 144hz IPS
monitor as well uh not that I'm aware of I'm not aware that that monitor exists
you got to understand freesync versus gsync isn't like a toggle switch that
they hit inside the monitor it is a completely different monitor like it
could have the same panel maybe but it would be a completely different
interface behind it um so no it doesn't
work that way like monitors will just be what they are and there won't you won't
be like free sync gsync version like like you know space gray and you know
titanium black or whatever they call it this looks like real dyed hair
now yep you look horrible
yeah oh that's why you put it back on
because good old lonus forell was like where'd your hat go you just got it's
back bro it's back just just for you l
just for you man um it's so uncomfortable but it's back does anyone
in the office actually use crunchy roll I think so I have okay well there you go
yeah I won't claim that I do um not much
of an anime guy myself although me neither I've I've used it I understand
the service y so there's that y I wanted
to use it because uh uh honestly I didn't know it existed until they
started sponsoring us really and yeah cuz I had watched like I'm not that big
into anime but I'll watch some of it sometimes just to kind of understand what one group of my friends is freaking
talking about right CU one group of my friends is super into it super hardcore
yeah so I'll watch some of it sometimes I don't have any friends so it's not a
problem for me I was like oh this service could make it way easier because
I don't know they get this stuff from wherever well I don't know there's like
a bazillion anime yeah and I'll try to find it I'm like I don't uh and there'll
be like these free sites and you're like this is sketchy but maybe it's legit for
it and then it might not have the right subtitles and then I can't find the right episode and I'm like uh so yeah it
simplified things okay this is a good one what is your favorite flavor of pie
SLC cake strawberry rhubarb pie strawberry rhubarb pie really that's
your favorite yeah oh what's yours um
wow okay it's kind of tough because like a really good blueberry pie with vanilla
ice cream like is pretty much to die for
if I've had blueberry pie it was like 10 years ago oh blueberry pi is amazing and
I've never had like a I don't think before my aunt like stabs me in the
throat I don't think I've ever had like a homemade blueberry pie oh blueberry
pie is amazing and like you blueberry pie can be a like you can get the like
the super sweet blueberry pie where it's kind of like a like a like a sugar gel
holding the blueberries together and that can be really good if you're in the mood for that but then blueberry proba
be more into the a more natural blueberry pie where it's just like a
sugared crust and then blueberries like just basically like the guts are just
Dam packed with blueberries that sounds awesome with vanilla ice cream is like
french vanilla ice cre to die for I'm not into the French vanilla personally
but it would work with that too um and
then for cake I actually really like the TNT fruit cake like TNT is a local a
local like Asian supermarket I've never had that yeah my my wife has learned to
clone it just like the Chinese do and um
nice so she can make it herself although we we usually buy it anyway because
there's an awful lot of work for her to make it for cake I like just like ice
cream cakes or like a a strawberry
cheesecake you know I had so much ice cream cake as a kid I can't even look at
them now really it's funny cuz I like ice cream and I'll eat certain kinds of
cake but something about whether it's the like the the chocolate crunchy
crumble and this and that and that the a big problem with ice cream cake is that
the vast majority of them use that crappy whipped topping yeah yeah whipped
topping kills anything it just it is so do fondant instantly dis oh fondant is
horrible I had never tried fondant until
bless your hearts um some members of our community sent me that knock to a fan
cake I think looked amazing it looked so cool
I took one bite of it and then I was like Wow whatever this stuff on top of
it is is not very good at all the inside
was actually good I I ended up like hollowing out a few
pieces no joke I was like I don't have
any food right now actually so I holled out some cake pieces yeah that's uh even
without food it was not worth eating the fondant that was
horrendous um yes we are definitely going to do an office tour um I'm
personally impartial Luke is definitely a fan
Droid um I haven't used iOS I've never had an
iPhone so so we'll find holy crap now
that we've started doing Twitter Blitz 277 people hit us um do you see free
sync staying as it is or getting better oh it will definitely get better it will
absolutely get better free sync the Technology support something like 9 Herz
up to 250 HZ or something stupid like that so there's lots of room for it to
continue to improve it's just the panels need to catch
up um have you ever cross threaded motherboard standoffs yep how do you
deal with it you take the whole board back out you put pliers on either side
you wrench them back apart and you find a new standoff because you just wrecked it yep when is the next scrapyard Wars
we are very likely to do a scrapyard Wars um as soon as we can once I get
back from Japan once we both get back from Japan Y and it should actually be
like awesome we already planned a lot of it out yep gonna be good stuff uh you
probably won't read this but can you read my name I read your name but I'm
not going to read it out loud because you like spammed us the and yeah you
tried um what else we got I don't know how to say what would you attempt if you
knew you couldn't
fail jumping out of the space station and landing on Earth what would I
attempt if I knew I jumping yeah jumping out of the Isis and landing on Earth no
col ing Mars in in entirety yourself so
basically how much sex would you be having
tons I would colonize my you know I don't have a better answer than that so
I'm going to let you win you just won the entire show um guys
thank you oh oh I said I would unbox right this is the new blade 14 ah yes
please I won't be needing that one anymore
o so this is the laptop I'll be taking with me as a portable workstation for my
trip to Asia I'll be getting on a plane in about 8 hours so I am out of here I
have a lot of people wondering what the heck I'm doing still here in Canada
because we released a video where in the beginning I'm like well assuming all
goes according to plan I'll be in Asia right now yeah oh okay that's what
happened that got pushed up on the schedule so many people have been like
well cuz you tweeted something about something I don't remember what and
they're like you just tweeted this and I'm like no I didn't they're like don't you have control of Linus' Twitter
account while he's on vacation I'm like first of all no second of all he's not
what okay that makes way more sense yeah
so that's how that went down all right so it comes packaged the same way as the
other blade 14s and the same way as like an NVIDIA reference graphit card it's
got a green stripe now with 30% more
stripe oh it is basically just a
generational upgrade now with 30% more gen the Razer Blade
14 there's a laptop in inside yay there is a laptop power
adapter inside also a wire for it what
else we got in here some
manuals yay manuals
woo woo all right then there's the
laptop it comes in this plastic oh I the
there's a technical writer that writes manuals and I hope his name is emanu
I really hope that's a thing somewhere so the blade 14 still looks just like
the old blade 14 it's uh
y I like the green USB ports there's a
couple things that are still like I I I still I love this ID top facing speakers
it's got three USB 3 ports which is more than a lot of super slim laptops have uh
the fact that the uh the 870m or
whatever was in the last one didn't didn't throttle was super nice I don't know if that will continue to be true
about the 970m I haven't tried this one yet but the 970m throttled like wicked
hard in the uh in that Gigabyte one that we just reviewed that's coming out soon
by the way uh but I'm extremely excited to try it there's still a couple things
that aren't perfect it needs an ND card reader and why HTMI instead of mini
DisplayPort like I literally can't think of a single compelling reason on
the face of the earth I can okay what would it be it's just more common if you
if you're walking into a presentation place they'll have pre-run cables they'll never have DisplayPort yeah but
I could carry a mini DisplayPort to HDMI who's going to do that other than you and and you can passively cheaply
adapt mini DisplayPort to anything who's HDMI okay okay well let's let's
talk about your boardroom it's probably got a VGA projector you going to adapt
your you going to adapt your HDMI to VGA yeah didn't think so I'm a Web 2.0
company that doesn't like display Web 2.0 company yeah cuz everyone who owns a
blade is going to only do presentations
at Web 2.0 that is how the world Works speaking of how the world Works who owns
a blade probably isn't going to do a presentation at a company that's a VGA projector all good things that come to
an end wait all good things all good things must come to an end thank you
