all
right
switch oh I didn't check if the intro is working I had hoped to fix that this
week but uh uh well I'm pretty sure the file hasn't changed so so
no actually wait no snap because nothing's nothing
all right so we've got a great show for you guys today Colton prepared the dock
in what appears to be about 17 minutes there's not a lot of detail in it but we
love him anyway the Nintendo switch
debuts March the 3 at 299 oh oh oh terrible terrible terrible
turn off thank you and that's where the snap thing came from if you didn't watch
the Nintendo switch keynote whenever they change topics they would go yeah
which is super Charming um so the Nintendo switch is
coming the Nokia 6 Nokia's first Android
smartphone is official Nokia is joining the likes of
caterpillar now it's everybody has an
Android phone yeah where's your Android phone we I mean the Luke Droid no that
is not yours I I mean that is Google's but it is but I bought it no no and and
you didn't also Fair okay moving on HDMI
2ot about that HDMI 2.1 announced at CES what do you
got lonus uh might have stolen project
Valerie bull bull crap roll the intro I'm going to do a
search no you will not all lies all lies
that is not what happened not I'm going to deny it forever I'm going to be like
um ah who just denies everything in the
face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary can you think of anyone like
that uh uh I can't either no yeah no me
neither not a single person I can't think of anybody like that what's the
date today what are we a week away from
uh packs Friday the 13th is today lucky
right okay moving on uh Nintendo switch should we just jump right into that
let's just jump right into do it okay let me bring it hold on hold on hold on
you can't jump into it yet you got to like uh right into the switch you got to
at least put your bathing suit on you know whoa Nintendo announces the SW I
mean you don't have to
jeez Nintendo announces switch specs in an event that we weren't invited to no
not that we're salty so go ahead and talk pry salty talk about how we're not
salty I poured an entire can of salt out while watching this uh so it's coming
March 3rd it will retail for $299 which doesn't sound that cheap but
is I believe the third cheapest console
launch ever when adjusted for inflation yeah I remember looking that up like how
much has Super Nintendo costs in today dollars it's like like Neo Geo or
something was like ,000 like how much Metals in this thing you know like oh my
goodness uh anyways the the controllers
on the left and right are now well I think they're officially called joycon
controllers joycon wow joycon sounds
like something else in entirely I didn't watch the event so this is all this is
all coming to me fresh here I mean it's like coming right at me it's hitting me
right in the face I want to attend Joy con it's hitting you right in the face at Joy con Joy right in the face at
joyon man guess how much they cost I mean I missed AVN this year CU they no
longer run it during the same at the same time as CES right hasn't it not
been at the same time for like a long time yeah it's been it's been a few years but it used to be that it was like
two like long hard conventions were in
the same city of sin at the same time and uh on
like very polar opposite ends of the spectrum yeah I know it's like people
who literally get paid to have sex and
people who have to
pay I mean I mean there's a lot of cool people at CES too yeah anyways
there thank you I appreciate it guess
how much the joyon controllers cost wait
I thought I assume they would be included they are okay but if you want
why would you want more oh like if you want to use a derp Square
controller and you don't just buy a weed I've heard pro contr pro controller for
some reason yeah I know some people have been saying that apparently they feel
good I seriously hold on what was it Jimmy Kimmel who unveiled the switch for
the first time that sounds right I think it was Jimmy Kimmel um so did you hear
it from him no okay because I was going
to say he's a giant Nintendo fan boy oh
did you hear it from a giant Nintendo Fanboy maybe because it looks abominable
it does no I know the first time I saw it I was like wow that's horrible but
okay to be fair it looks really good when it's on the side of the switch the
Wii U controller with the screen in the middle okay I actually love that one
okay but but when it's on that like box it is weird I don't like that so I
think it's kind of a shoulder width question oh that could be because this
is comfortable yeah and this is just not no matter how ergonomic the thing you're
holding is it's like the whole 10 keyless versus 104 key layout for FPS
games argument you want that natural
that natural shoulder width um yeah cuz I really like my favorite controller for
the Wii U is the the main one with that said let's get in a console gamer
posture here because right now we're sitting at a desk all right so hold on
all right okay I'm I'm assuming the position here yeah no that's good and
you know what I'm actually liking it a lot more now if
you use the pillow yeah use the pillow
okay that's kind of all right that's all right but let's flip the pillow the
other way that's kind of all right too
like if I've got the controller in the lap which 90% of the time for me if I'm
using a controller uh it's the one in my lap
um so maybe maybe we're just not try it
out yeah we'll have to try it out I maybe we're not giving it a air Shake
okay hit hit me with hit me with some more Deets well you have you have to
guess how much they are oh I have to guess how much you want to buy extras I
mean if there're anything other than $59.99 I'll be surprised because there's
certain games that you need two full
sets of those cuz those are the motion controllers oh I see those those have
Motion in them yeah so you'll have to buy another one and they have like HD
vibrator things which apparently you can like feel like if someone if you're
holding like a glass with this thing you could like feel someone pouring water
in we're going to have to try it we're going to have to try it okay all right I
get it and so there's going to be like one stupid like quest in Zelda where you
have to like fill water jugs or some
crap and it'll be like this completely
contrived like yell aty DS style thing
do you remember that I have to blow the feather thing
that was so stupid they wanted to okay for the DS they wanted to show off how
like the microphone could be integrated into games so on some weird mini game
you had to like blow on the DS so You' see people like it was so dumb anyways
80 us $80 us yeah so $300 for a
controller and then to equip $300 for a console controller yeah with a
controller and then another $240
to equip all of your friends US dollars with controllers US
dollars to be fair each joy-con controller if you're playing a game that
doesn't require like the motion in each hand can be split out and turned into
two controllers sideways yeah but that I mean if we're talking ergonomics that's
horrible no it actually looks like the worst thing cuz like remotes turn
sideways are doable yeah they're somewhat usable they're all right and
but they're a lot wider than the joycon the joyon rollers are way smaller I this
feels terrible to me and that reminds me of that what was that steel series
Bluetooth controller that they 70 not 80 apparently that they discontinued almost
immediately after they launched it um I
don't remember what it was called but it was awful it was like a it was like a mobile mobile game controller uh $70 I
was wrong $70 okay so it's $69.99 yeah which is still $10 higher
than I guessed and $20 you said if they're over
50 bucks I said $59.99 cuz I think that's what everyone else is at if I
recall correctly very common I know yeah um I still don't like it and it's 70 for
a Pro Controller and it's 70 I yeah but the Pro controller isn't going to have
the two isn't going to have all the motion stuff and when I'm filling my
jug I won't know how full my jug is
except for visually yeah right which is where I would be looking and my
attention would be focused presumably someone said WTF is a Pro
Controller that's like your more standard gaming controller for the Wii U
yeah yeah and there's new ones and they look cool they have some see-through stuff going on okay so we're back to
N64 that's that's back in fashion is Apple going to redo their whole aluminum
aesthetic and they're going to bring back like the colorful the colorful iMac
hopefully I've always loved see-through Electronics imagine a okay hold up
hold up imagine like a glass razor blade
yeah I'm down 100% down yeah yeah if it
could like stand up and durability wise y when someone figures out how to
economically machine and polish glass yeah it will come like sick really clean
very clean cuz the modern deal is clean not like purple plastic that you can see
through well that and they'll use it anyway even if like they'll they'll use
it even if they make it opaque like they could do black glass yeah and it would
be a fingerprint magnet but at least you could clean it that's see that's my I
get product managers asking me this all the time why don't you like glossy black
and I'm like because it's plastic it scratches immediately scch look terrible
yeah yeah people people call me out like oh you you hate glossy plastic but
you're cool with tempered glass and I'm like yeah but you can take like a a
microfiber cloth and like whip it a couple times and all the dust will float
off and then you're fine and because half of the ISS is static it's
impossible to clean a piece of acrylic because the second you wipe it you
generate a static charge and it grabs all the dust within a 5 foot radius and
like sticks it there that's why we don't like
it all right what else he got for me hit anyways the breath of the wild is
launching the exact same day the console is which is surprising to anybody
because because they've been like moving it is there even another game yet it's
also a little surprising to everybody because they're are not a ton of other
Smash Hits coming with the console Smash Hits ah there's no smash coming with the
conso Mario Kart is called I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or something like that so
I believe it's the same game but you can't put a disc into the
switch so you're going to have to buy it digitally probably brand new probably
full price that's my guess or like a
little bit off but probably not that much CU tons of people are going to want
to play Mario Kart play Mario Kart with your friends
switch is mobile right yeah you can play Skyrim you saw that right yeah yeah yeah
yeah have you seen the new Mario game no I I have I have not I've been living
weird you can like Parkour in New York literally not kidding and it's not
coming out until like winter okay um
okay polygon's list of launch titles or launch window titles here perfect okay
so launch day is one two switch which is like this uh like basically controller
demo style Nintendo game you know how they always have those those are often
very fun wi Sports uh was very good okay
let me I'm going to say something and it's going to make you cry what it might
even make you die a little bit inside okay okay so you know my gaming setup in
my living room right yes where I have the GTX I think it's like a 980 TI
equipped PC um I've got the 65 in TV
I've got the Vive uh VR headset
everything's set up to be simple enough that like my son can turn it on and
switch between all the different stuff that he wants to play okay so in the
last month he has spent about 10 times
more time on the Nintendo Wii playing
Wii sports playing Wii sports that doesn't make me die inside than he has in VR no I actually totally get
it I get it like for him where both of these experiences are equally New Motion
control is actually the more engaging of
the two well there's motion control yes but pure motion control looking at the
TV and there isn't a game that's as good
as we Sports on the Vive Get Wrecked but
it's true if audio Shield's algorithm wasn't garbage it would be really fun
but a lot of the time you're just like yeah this music is like so awesome I'm
pumped Bing yeah yeah here we go and
it's totally out of beat and everything's sort of weird yeah like if
I was act like if if they actually DDR
stop it like like professionally guitar
heroed it to the point where everything was perfectly in
tune awesome yeah I would actually just sit and play audio shield for like hours
cuz even now I put up with a lot of this crap I've basically only found one game
that I or one song that I really like playing on it and it's a remix of The
Imperial March and it actually like goes pretty well but it's not
like ridiculously like fastpac like I
want to do this a whole bunch so I can remember how I have to move kind of
will a lot withi it's notes anyways so
one two switch which is actually probably going to be pretty damn cool because those Nintendo launch weird demo
game things are actually very fun Legend of Zelda which is going to sell this
console yeah 100% Legend of Zelda breath
of the wild is super sick looking it's told going sell the console Skylanders
imaginators and Just Dance 2017 that's the launch lineup four
games one two switch that's that's a
switch that's something
new okay one one two switch is going to be very cool okay has been Heroes March
2017 there okay March 2017 is like a
bajillion things there's one two three
four okay what do we got you double your amount of Sonic Mania it's a Sonic game
that does not count I am sitsa no idea
Lego City Undercover whatever that is in the spring arms arms arms is a little
rough Super Bomberman R snipper Clips cut Mar Delux is literally just marioart
is snipper Clips literally like a hair cutting simulator like sniper Clips even
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't coming till April how hard is it to that should have
been sniper Clips o yeah oh yeah no
snipper out it together okay what is
this wow there's like nothing I can't find oh
no here here here search instead search instead snipper Clips down down down
there yeah that one yeah nothing Great
Clips a local uh local hair salon chain
apparently comes up before before
snipper Clips if we try to snipper Clips
$20 cut it out together it's it's paper
okay it's paper um is it
or like I don't know here can you share my screen yeah I can't but I'll uh I'm
going to bring this up if anyone else is curious what snipper Clips
is um which uh which site are you on nintendo.com okay here we go wow it's
been so long since we uh since we switched scenes that I actually uh had
that screen time out okay so I think it's like paper sex and it's
really angry Yeah Yeah from the look of
things oh not able to yeah there we go so it's
either angry or like one on top is like
I'm mad but I'm doing this yeah the one on the bottom is just kind of like
holding it in there but enjoys it smiling everything's okay
right say so Mar Deluxe yeah 60
bucks okay so there's basketball um there's a big green
lollipop and the yellow one is angry oh the yellow one has got it in for the
pink one there he's going right for it yeah um pink one's like yeah I'm ready
okay basketball okay so like a puzzle game I
don't know all right it's a action
action comma puzzles action comma puzzles cool so Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is
$60 yeah Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the same cost as breath of the wild so basically
they're going to sell already own Mario Kart 8 12 million switches on launch day
and 12 million copies of Zelda on launch
day and then nothing for months as far
as I can tell arms looks like like I
can't believe this is its own Standalone title is it like a boxing game it's an
arena you want to like play it yeah sure if you scroll down on your if you go to
the Nintendo thing SC I can't play it cuz they're going to like claim our video oh okay so maybe don't then yeah
I'll just uh I can play it for you here sure I'm just going to I'm just
going to bring this up so you guys can at least have a look at it
so okay yeah not going to play that the
first fighting game of its kind choose a champion equip your own combination of
extendable arms then a mix of button presses so it's we boxing it's it's we
boxing essentially as its own entire game but you're going to need you need
your own full set of the joycons cuz one
each one is each ARM it's an arena combat game so it's Street Fighter we
boxing and your arms extend and if you turn the controller
while you have your ARM out so you punch and then you turn the controller that
will curve the fist this is a full price game which
costs the same amount as Legend of Zelda breath of the
wild and you can block
yeah um
okay so moving on yeah
um oh right Super Mario Odyssey is the other one I was talking about okay so
you want to check out screenshots of that yeah yeah we should probably move
on because this is enough of people sort
of hearing us hate everything about this
I mean you're going to buy one anyway I love it I'm going to buy one yeah okay I
think it's really cool are you going to buy arms no okay I'm not going to buy
arms I'm going to buy I'm going to buy Super Mario card Deluxe you're going to
buy switch yeah and you're going to buy breath of the wild then you're going to
wait no I'm going to get one two switch you're going to get one two switch oh it
doesn't come with it I don't think
so the packages that I saw did not say
that it included one two switch it might I bet you it comes with a demo disy
thing with other games that aren't
that Nintendo switch included games uh
no no bundled games so one two switch is like a full price
game so I'll buy it with one two switch and breath of the
wild and then I'll wait until Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out and then I think I'm
I think I'm done for a
while uh let's see um Mario Kart 8 maybe
Splatoon 2 but probably not and then it's holiday 2017 far as I can tell not
going to bother bu Skyrim yeah Skyrim
not going to buy a basketball game definitely not going buy snipper Clips
Skyrim for all of the like people who don't own Skyrim on any of the plat sort
of cool it's on every platform already
like literally every platform other things that they I don't think this is a
com wants to play Skyrim this is not a no Witcher 3 never mind Witcher 3 is a
comprehens Colon's mom doesn't even want to play Skyrim there's no way this is a
comprehensive list because there was at
least one game that I saw that isn't on here and there's a few others as well
there isn't uh man what's that game that Brandon just loves and is actually
really fun I don't remember it's a jrpg it's really good it's not on here
there's a few jrpgs that were announced that aren't on here and I saw Minecraft
in the art stuff that was flipping by and it's not on here so there are other
things Skyrim runs on Linux polygon's list is not perfect Skyrims on Linux
nice that's awesome terrible that is actually
awesome all right you know Two Fire
Emblem okay like there's there's some
like pretty major games that aren't not on polygon's list so I don't know what
they're doing maybe they just don't have confirmed dates for them so I didn't put them on the list 6.2 in display 720p
multi-touch um two to 2.5 to 6 hours of battery life
can charge over a USB type-c that is a huge range how do you get six uh well
they're talking about different games and stuff so if you play that like weird
snip clip game versus like breath of the wild okay it's probably fair enough yeah
uh Chargers over type c pretty cool Nintendo not doing a proprietary to
connect 32 gigs on board expandable via micro SD very nice I'm surprised they're
not trying to sell us like a Micro SD type c $70 uh but you don't get an
included game but you don't get a game it's like okay we will loosen the death
grip we have on your wallets for accessories and expandable storage and
in return you willay pay us for the game
development we did okay is that okay with everyone cuz we're okay with that I
mean that sort of does make more sense uh 802.11 AC Wi-Fi and up to eight
switch consoles at once for local multiplayer because they do their own
little Wi-Fi thing okay done all right I'm going to get one we're going to have a review of IT everything's going to be
cool I'm going to buy not that many games but the games that I do buy will
be awesome and other news uh
razor prototypes of project Valerie were
stolen bummer they are offering a
$25,000 reward uh for any information I
don't think any information but basically they are offering a reward for
someone who um helps them get it back or
returns it and uh everyone is blaming me and Tom
Syndicate so I want to settle this once
and for all I will not
admit to stealing project Valerie you're
not you got a there you go that was a
pretty good edit this is circumstantial evidence circumstantial those was a
pretty damn good at it I am clearly still at CES in this Photograph you know
it's a little awkward that you would have that at the what that's the AMD
event um I really don't think that
anything about the ryzen poster over my
right shoulder would indicate that I'm mean I'm in the razor Booth here you're
giving Trade Secrets I'm in the Razer Booth here to AMD clearly in the Razer
Booth interesting obviously 2018 there's
going to be an AMD laptop three three screens
uh and little did they know they stole the worst idea
ever um this is clearly much better
evidence uh I don't know why he's talking about
me there though let's just do that there working see he is clearly poised to
steal it what I don't get it as for the third
piece of evidence
um okay okay now this again highly
circumstantial this is apparently a post from a post from our Forum our own users
turning on on me this is from the CES W
show to the part where lonus tells Austin they have a mutual acquaintance
who offered lonus double sticker price to steal him or her an Acer Predator
21x so clearly the offer was to steal a
predator 21x which didn't go missing not the right one bro yeah so okay I I
appreciate the evidence stuff and you try to like Dodge it obviously lonus
didn't steal it that's fine everyone is joking it's cool how the freaking hell
like I'm sorry Razer that you lost your thing how did you do that so I I asked
yeah I emailed I emailed my uh my PR guy there I'm like so is this a publicity
stunt yeah cuz it really feels like it and he's like no so but how hold on hold
on okay so I'll say this like um my my
Razor contact is a straight shoot
yeah I trust him um he's a good guy he
says no they were legitimately taken one
of the back rooms was unlocked during the last 30 minutes of the show so the
thing about the back rooms is that if you've ever been to to
like in the in the back of a CES Booth before um I saw did did you see the
inside of the parrot control room that one year when they were doing the bbop
dancing thing it was incredible it was like an entire additional parrot Booth
full of like drones and drone repair stuff and like all the sensors and crap
that were running that that that automatic dance thing anyway um so so
there there can be a lot of like back room stuff typically those are accessible through a panel that opens in
the back of the booth so all the razor staff could have been running around
doing things especially on the last day of a show you tend to be a little bit
more short staffed cuz some people have flown out early or gotten tired or
gotten sick by that point in the show so take your prototypes
home not that easy to transport they're
very fragile they wouldn't even let me pick it up yeah but so the people leaving early should take them but you
still want them there in case you have to show them to like a partner or
something I mean most they probably didn't have meetings so okay I'm saying
this you're not wrong but I also get it I
I I don't know if get it I can
comprehend what they're saying and I think I'm leaving it there that's how
insane this is I've had like terrible
things at shows have security sensors on them whether it's like if it goes too
far away from the booth it starts beeping I've had that not that hard to
do to be honest I've had like where it's on a cable I've had where there's a uh
the little key thing I don't remember Kensington lock which that thing
probably doesn't have but whatever yeah it would I guess CU it's just a Blade
Pro with a with a does this this doesn't have a Kensington lock doesn't it do all
the does mine oh I don't think razor
blades have Kensington oh yeah yeah yeah mine does oh mine doesn't so I guess the
pro does so the stealth doesn't have one no I don't think
so huh that's funny CU it's like the
most stealable one yeah no Kensington lock anyways um there's Kensington locks
there's there's security tags there's distance whatever fun fact uh LG had the
uh had the security sticker on a still
plastic
wrapped laptop for the LG Graham I was
tempted to take it off and just see if it would go off I I decided not to I
decided against it I'd already been yelled at at Sony um people people are
accusing me of Faking like me getting yelled at there but no like six people
were like running towards me telling me to get off the stage because I
legitimately did have permission just like I do normally have permission
to do the outlandish stuff that I do I had permission from one guy who didn't
communicate to everyone else that I was going to be jumping up on the stage because they were hardcore about people
not going up there and looking at Cletus
which is the um the the the big like um modular
display thing because if you touch Sony's Cletus it could be damaged
oh I did not see that kind in all seriousness though the cetus display get
it is very fragile yep so you don't want to rub it
too hard just the right amount just the right amount
um you might misalign
it I you know we lost it there yeah it's
cool just forget it everybody just don't worry about it yeah yeah um you know
what we do have to worry about is our sponsors for today y this W show is
brought to you by oh I fix it I fix it
they saved my well actually Brandon specifically a huge unintentional
sponsor of CES yeah saved my bacon at the show I thought about it I had my
iFix it kit in my backpack and I was
like should I take it should I not take it because every other year I've like
brought tools and then not ended up using them
so then he used it so much this year so
uh Brandon had it with him so I got to Acer was the first Booth I did and
immediately I there were a couple things immediately I saw the predator 21x and I
had to open it I was like I need to see the inside it ended up being kind of
anticlimactic when I get my unit I'm going to have to spend some real time
like it's going to take me a couple hours to tear it down because they have like a mid plate and stuff to really get
at the hardware yeah um but I was like immediately I have to open it and I was
like I can't believe I left that at home and Brandon's like oh I've got mine and
I'm like give it to me and he's like oh it's back in the hotel I'm like Colton
go get it so Colton went and got it um and then the other thing was also again
in the Acer Booth they weren't sure
about the drive options in one of the
laptops remember these are engineering sample laptops like even some of the hardware wasn't final there was one with
a TN panel and the spec sheet said IPS and I was like what's going on and
they're like oh uh I don't know we'll find out so they had to call q and it
turns out that on early engineering samples they just throw Cheapo TN in
them save some cost and I was like oh you probably shouldn't have that at a
trade show but sure yeah um anyway sorry I fix it right they make great tools for
uh oh yeah they've got guides on their website for repairing your electronics
and upgrading them what yeah what guy super randomly what who like the iix IT
guy I can't remember his name right now like the guy hopefully he's not watching
CEO guy oh really yeah Oh I thought you meant like our rep super cool met him at
HP oh he grilled them with me which was actually hilariously awesome we were
both talking about the omen and I brought up about how he gave the
Microsoft Surface Studio a 5 out of 10 repairability score and how that was
like kind of hilarious and true and uh we talked about that for a second and
then he like laughed at their case which
was great no like right in front of them no filter I was like you are so cool
and I've been like trying to go back and forth this is with this HP guy for a
while like man like why is your io on your motherboard so lacking and like all
because they have their own custom motherboard and like he's like uh what else do you want and I was like any
audio options and I don't know we were going back and forth a little bit and
then iFix it guy comes up and just like doesn't even wait for the HP guy to like
possibly come back with anything and it's just like d all right like bye it was really cool
terrible Savage it was awesome um that was cool anyway so iix it is all about
repairing and upgrading your electronics yourself with their step-by-step guides
and their huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranties
for the tools not the replacement parts um so today we're talking about their
latest and greatest allnew prot Tech tool kit which you've seen
featured on the W show and on normal
lineus tpes content in the past including like scrapyard Wars and can I ever tell you about the time that I
specifically said in a video that I was just using an iFixit kit and it wasn't
sponsored by iFixit then the video production schedule got shifted and it
ended up being sponsored by I fix it was that left in the video yeah oh that's
awkward yeah anyway it has a bunch of prying tools suction cups poking tools
cutting tools uh plying tools anti-static
tools a whack ton of screwdrivers and bits that have been enough for me to
assemble or disassemble pretty much
anything and I'm going to do this this again I've done this before and I feel
kind of terrible about it but I'm going to criticize or uh offer constructive
criticism about the product uh on during
during a sponsor spot for the product the one thing that gets me sometimes is
uh deeper um like deeper holes you'll find
them in the in the bottoms of laptops sometimes
where the where the plastic the plastic hole is really deep until you can get to
the screw so there is a workaround and this saved me on the Predator was it the
Predator whatever one of the laptops I almost didn't get open so there's a
workaround where you use one of the sockets and then you put the bit into
the socket but it would be nice to have like like a longer shaft like a super
slim longer shaft extension type thing
um that would be that would be even better but as it is I've only very
rarely been defeated when I have an iix IT kit in my hands anyway what are we
talking about again uh the longer shaft that you would like no that's not wow
okay so grab an all new Protek toolkit or their less expensive Essentials
electronic tool kit by heading over to ifixit.com Linus and use offer code W
show to save five bucks on your purchase of $10 or more highly recommended I fix
it we love their stuff we really do your shaft is plenty long I think that you
can work on all of those laptops completely fine

today wow Al righty then so I'm by myself now
which is fine Colton everything's okay is everything okay everything is
okay everything is fine everything is
awesome uh Norway becomes the first country to kill FM radio this is posted
by dat speed on the Forum wow that poor Colton he didn't even get to say
anything um just
gone discover where Trump's America meets the world what is this this is an
ad for subscribing to The Washington Post which I definitely won't be doing
okay what am I looking at please sign in I don't think you can read
it uh uh I don't think you can read it uh
okay well whatever that article was from
The Washington Post now it's from end
gadget.com it's like why this model doesn't work
online in a
nutshell Norway killing FM radio only a
quarter of the cars on the road are ready for the switch which is more than
I would have thought cuz the switch was just
announced yeah literally get it yeah um
so Norway has started switching off FM transmitters as of January 11th 2017
becoming the first in the world to dump the 80-year-old standard they're switching over to digital audio
broadcasting this will give citizens more stations better coverage program
time shifting which is actually kind of cool so that's like VOD but odd just in
case you didn't know the acrm for that is dab digital audio
broadcasting dab I'm not even gonna yeah um that's
all that's all as far as I go uh we'll give the majority of people are against
the transition we're simply not ready for this year um someone like actually
yeah though like looking at numbers like they actually aren't it reportedly costs
between $ 120 to $230 for a dab car radio
adapter dab has been running alongside FM in Norway since I've never even heard
digital audio broadcasting yeah is this just serious I don't think so or like no yeah
no yeah I honestly I've never even heard of it I'm sorry pretty sure we've talked
about on W show but like a ridiculously long time ago like okay in my real life
outside of like a news article that I read somewhere well Canada doesn't okay
we're not going to do that in a long time okay I can pretty much guarantee you it's going to be quite a while FM's
like still pretty legit right seems mostly fine it works there are okay
there are I don't remember what they are I've read not quite
I'm stressing out right now you're fine don't worry about it um it's
ah I only it's fine there there's benefits I it's been a long time so I
don't want to say what they are because I'm probably going to get 90% of it
wrong but there are benefits to dab
whatever a broadc is cool like there's
some cool stuff but then if I was just going to like listen to podcasts then
like I don't think it's that every radio show I listen listen to has a podcast
version that I could use as a as an
audio on demand like time shift thing anyway I think it's
different
um blah blah blah blah blah blah across
Europe and Asia Pacific well that explains why I haven't really
encountered it much yeah I'm sure everyone in twitch is just telling me
I'm a complete idiot but they're saying daab not dab
whatever yeah who cares that was it learn it learn to learn to love it cuz
it's not going away we're not the only ones that are going to make that joke either um okay the signals are so bad in
whatever uh dab will suck because FM you
can still hear with a bad signal dab is All or Nothing yeah okay sounds about
right that sounds terrible
um yeah I I I think I sort of get it uh
the the dab standard was initiated as a
European research product in the 1960s the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation
launched the first dab channel in the world so they're trying to do that again
okay cool um well good luck with
that I really do feel like an old person though cuz I was about to say like it
was halfway out of my mouth to say whenever I turn on the radio I just want
to hear whatever's on there right now like I have no I have no use for
fiddling around with it but I sound like my parents talking about like too okay
but there's both cuz you'll also listen to other stuff like through your phone
and stuff and I will do Bluetooth through my phone or if I'm like that's
screwed up or it's paused or whatever I don't feel like pulling it out whatever
FM on and it goes on to one of the two radio stations that I listen to and I'm
like cool I have something that's all I really care about for now I'll fix sit
later or if I'm going on like a long drive I'll make sure it's all good my
podcast whatever right book from Bill NY whatever I'm currently listening to I
don't think we've had audible book audible as a sponsor for a while yeah it's been a while but I listened to
books through there all right so uh in other news the Nokia
6 Nokia's first Android smartphone is
official and it is totally different from every other Android smartphone
smart totally different four gigs of RAM
Snapdragon 430 64 gigs of storage micro
SD 16 megapixel main camera which means nothing by the way 3,000 milliamp hour
battery 5.5 inch display 1080p resolution Android nougat OS 245 bucks
launching in China it will go on sale in early 2017
available exclusively through retailer jd.com see that's different the price is
good yes the retail exclusivity is
different not good at all um well do you
really want one no so even if it's not good it's not bad it's just well it's
bad for people that do want one who would want one I don't know it
represents the modern design ethics of a smartphone except for
ashes good call okay well thanks John in other news
uh HDMI 2.1 was announced at CES so the
original post here is actually from ABS Forum yeah so it includes this is like a
very significant upgrade so HDMI 2.0 which took long enough to get adopted
went from 10.2 to 18 gbit per second so that gives us 4K 60 Herz HDMI 2 2.1
looks to be taking on DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 head-on uh 48 GB per second so
HDMI 2.1 is designed to handle 8K
resolution at up to 60 FPS 4K at 120 FPS
although that math doesn't quite work out with support for dynamic HDR
metadata so Dynamic HDR is different from static HDR which is what we have
today the final spec to be announced in Q2 of 2017 at which point all of your
fancy new HDR TV and 4K whatever can
just get wrecked well this is great because no
matter how cool DisplayPort and stuff is HDMI sort of
wins this is fun the original article here is from Liv science or
livescience.com this the US Army wants
biodegradable bullets that Sprout
plants make love at the same time as
War cuz it's all like hippie and whatnot right you know you got plant some plant
some plants I think it's cool kill some people so here's what I
here okay so currently here's the
explanation currently the US Army manufactures and consumes hundreds of
thousands of training rounds oh training
rounds so they don't intend to actually
plant plants in the countries that they are stomping on yeah now it makes more
sense back home these rounds are fired at Proving Grounds and training ranges
in the United States and around the world the materials in the current
training rounds need hundreds of years or more to
biodegrade so the US Army Corps of Engineers cold regions research and
Engineering laboratory skur has
demonstrated bioengineered seeds that can be embedded into the biodegradable
Composites and that will not germinate until they have been in the the ground
for several months so if you just like change your
targeting range every several months then it'll turn into a patch of trees I
guess or plants in general that's
cool okay hooray Consumer Reports now
magically recommends the MacBook Pro well it's not magic it's a software
update that apparently fixed the battery life issues what I want to know is how
fast the processor is running now but that's a whole other conversation um so there you go
basically uh one model ran at 18.75
hours on a charge which is pretty
fantastic uh they tested each model multiple times using the new software
following the same protocol that they apply to hundreds of laptops every
year um so earlier when they evaluated
them the results were highly inconsistent anywhere from 3.75 to up to
192 hours between charges which is obviously a bit bit of
a problem so what I another another option cuz you ran into some serious
issues when you were trying to do battery life testing on Windows 10 yes
where you would have ranges of hours like many hours on the same laptop yes
doing the same test back to back um so
Luke's theory is that it has to do with a bunch of telemetry and um background
services and processes fun stuff that Windows 10 is doing and even with a lot
of there there a lot of guides like stop Windows 10 from creeping on me guide and
stuff which turn off a lot of it but it's still fishy right there's still
weird stuff Windows 10 and it's hard to
monitor because if I'm going to monitor it it just like massively increases the
time that I'd work on the project and it changes it like you have to actively be
there and there's a lot of yeah it makes the scale kind of
ridiculous Chrysler pulled a VW cheated
their emissions test oh still loading and gadget.com
but the EPA says Chrysler is violating
the Clean Air Act how long is the Clean Air Act going to
last well actually probably a long time now CU they're just going to sue the
crap of them oh um blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Trump also made specific and ambiguous promises about energy environmental
statutes like the Clean Air Act um blah
blah oh okay well not sure okay okay I I
had thought I had read something saying that he had act an actual plan for it
but I must have been mistaken uh okay I love how software
like this must have been a really rough week because like slack being on the
Windows store yeah well we I mean that's the
thing about CEs it's like there's nothing the week before then it's like
boom and then there's nothing right after and then there's nothing right
after um unless like something that happened the week before CES gets stolen
for example yes yeah then there's something yeah um so or is HDMI
basically the EPA is alleging that they installed software in some of their
diesel vehicles that increased emissions beyond the company's claims EPA says
that light duty model year 2014 2015 and
2016 Grand Cherokees and Dodge RAM 1500
trucks with 3 l diesel engines sold in the United States are releasing excess
nitrogen oxide emissions they alleg that approximately 100,00 Vehicles were
covered in the claim uh so it's to a lesser degree yeah uh than vw's
controversy it's only about a fifth as many vehicles um so what Fiat Chrysler
automobiles is denying any wrongdoing at this time so we'll see how that goes
yeah I would be interested to see what a
law would look like that punishes
offenders more severely for denying it
I would be interested to see like if be if you screw up in a way
that's like cheating if the money that you have to
pay goes towards competing Industries H
so if you have to actually so if Chrysler had to pay Ford like if somehow
let's well no no no no competing Industries so it would be like say like
solar panel companies somehow cheated at something yeah they'd have to like pay
Big Oil yeah probably going to go in reverse just to
be fair but like it would be interesting to be like yeah if you cheat and you get
caught you will directly Aid your competition very interesting like
industry competition not like the
company that's doing the same thing as you I think that would be interesting
and not like you wouldn't give it to like Tesla but you'd give it to like the
grants that Tesla gets interesting you know like the the like electric car like
you buy it and you get money off or whatever it like goes towards that so
would be subsidizing people to buy
things that aren't yours into a competing technology that would get so messy so
fast yeah it would uh so there's a rumor
over on um wccf Tech that the 1080 TI could
possibly be released at PAX East I
personally doubt it me too I don't know
anything for sure but I doubt it has NVIDIA cared about PX East since when
has anyone cared about oh game tabs I guess yeah because it's like the first
packs of the year so that's actually why packs Prime interesting stuff in terms
of games at Hardware does not have a
very strong presence there yeah we know that from experience yeah it's really
hard to make videos at paxis it's it's it's easy to make videos
at CES they're just often isn't like my
problem would be like okay this is my 14th case um
I don't know if I can make another video about cases without people getting mad
uh but like at PX East I bring a case
please show me something there's like
never anything there some RGB some tempered glass just just just something
make something out of RGB and tempered glass we'll be fine the problem is all
the hardware guys just went to CES yeah
so like the uh I don't know okay I'm going to tease an upcoming video cuz I
just can't oh man and really I just can't contain this speaking of RGB
okay I have a video on how you to can
own the world's most I'm not going to show it to you guys too too too well
here but the world's most shiny RGB
keyboard
ever someone's just going to grab that
frame and then have it yeah yes I don't
know if you can recreate that though you really have to like see it in Glam
footage um we should do like a build
called like the RGB build yeah we should and have but no no no no we should do
that too okay that we I think they were they were supposed to pit it to someone
but anyways yeah um we've been meaning to do that forever you know Kyle just
did one right yeah yeah whatever I wonder how long that's been on the list
I should go back in like the uh the like the doc like history and see when we
added it the original like Corsair RGB keyboard we can one up him though I
found an RGB SSD at uh yeah at CES
there's and I have some more plans too I want to like sink with room lighting and
stuff anyways um chroma I want to do an
RGB build where we have like it would probably have to work with like levers
or something but like manually literally
just red green and blue and you can like change the colors of the panels on your
case maybe was like cloth and it like
rolls up you just show it here's what
I'll say about this idea some of your ideas are really
good I
think we should totally do it come on Twitch chat you just want you just want
a pizza heating PC for 2017 don't you oh
I'm going to make number two I think number two Pizza Machine yeah I need to
work with some someone cuz I want to make it like really nice but I have some
ideas I need it like machined and stuff
like it's going to be sick what I also want to have like a pizza oven like
built into it so you could cook it and then like keep it heated no we we've got
some ideas Pizza heater 2o is going to be
real we better get more dislikes this time anyways um real RGB
PC yes yes yes oh wow you can't put all
yeses in the answer for a straw pole I didn't put all yeses I just put three
yeses no terrible there's just three
different yeses okay well while you guys are voting on that um I will use this
opportunity to tell you about the flow playe Club hooray
hooray and I'm going to post that instead of Luke's garbage so that yeah
it's going to be a competition for you shouldn't be you shouldn't be fighting against my Floatplane Club posts you
want Floatplane Club to be a success right I want to say that's right people
that are on the Floatplane club I'm sorry about the CES stuff the plan was
you guys were going to get videos like as soon as we're done editing them and you're going to see them early and then
like eight of them didn't go up so I'm
pretty not stoked on the fact that that
happened and uh but the idea behind it
is that we have our own Early Access platform which is actually a lot better
than the last time we talked about it 20% of people are saying no 20% of
people are saying no that's a lot for like a video suggestion yeah maybe we
don't have to do it the real RGB PC oh yeah no no we do not have to do that um
maybe so so it's basically it's our Early Access platform uh the way it
works is oh it's 19 now maybe we should
maybe we should yeah 20 is like a hard stop that's a hard threshold oh it's
back up to 20
terrible um I want to see if there's any
way for me to show this without showing anything that I shouldn't show I don't
think so there might be you'd have to like do a weird Zoom but
maybe okay so that would
work okay so basically here we go I will
do this very carefully oh God I will do
it very care like ours I will do it very carefully okay so this is John and this
is his post hi John post of a video
there's a video that I can play Hey look
how fast it started playing hey look at that wasn't that cool and then I
could hold on hold on and then I could go full screen oh dang it careful when
you come back out of it maybe maybe switch to full screen I'm not going to
come back I don't know but it was really
scary so anyway that's a Techquickie video that right now is not on YouTube
so basically Luke Al built uh a video
streaming platform Luke Al Al it's um
it's like and Company Oh e t a l yeah um built a video
streaming platform there's still a lot of stuff that is very much in progress
there's some really cool things that I think I want to like how much do you
want to talk about okay I think I want to relase you want to show that page video no we can't show that page even if
we don't show the IP let's not show that page you that page see my theory is I
think I want to launch a video on the Floatplane Club about those pages okay
all right so we show it to Floatplane Club first yeah fair enough okay anyway
so what we're working on is better image quality we're going to have Early Access
uh we're going to try and have a less toxic sort of community Vibe compared to
YouTube which was something a lot of vessel viewers were really upset about
losing uh right now everything is done through the Forum but in the future and
development is is how in progress very
much so in progress and it looks amazing
I just want to say like damn for everyone that's worked on it back end
front end middle CMS low end Top End
Eric cat lonus but not this one
different lus actually everyone that's been like oh very good very very
good um all
righty Henry on Twitch says who the
three asterisks
asteris thinks we're toxic wow twitch
chat twitch chat twitch
chat anyways I think anyway link one
more time there so you guys can join um that's what we're calling it it's three
bucks a month yeah right now it's very very early

much it right yeah do we have anything else nope okay you have to get to your
thing yeah I got to go I've got like badmon classes I need to like leave I'm
saying like you need to go okay bye yeah
bye everyone animation I don't think there's
music one it's like YouTube isn't toxic you're
toxic that's you saying that is toxic
chiz Pizza Bear YouTube comments are canc are worse than cancer and I've had
cancer I don't believe you actually had cancer if you say something like that
I'm pretty sure cancer is actually like very terrible compared to YouTube
comments good night everybody
