1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,759
all right guys sorry we're a couple minutes late very unusual for us I don't

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:11,639
know this it's once in a lifetime opportunity that we would actually be

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,799
late yeah actually we're we're we're we're 6 minutes late which is which is

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:19,080
pretty good they should all be congratulating us at this point and no

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,560
technical okay no we did have some technical difficulties we had more than

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:28,760
one yeah okay so our video capture card I put the wrong one on and there were no

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,320
drivers for that one and then um the

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:37,680
computer was just like every a couple seconds like yeah our stream computer

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:40,360
was being super not cool it's like bro

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,920
bro you being not cool bro uh I don't want to run right now so I'm I'm going

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,640
just walk and trip

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:53,440
sometimes being not good not good not cool um and then I thought there was no

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:59,120
audio but it turns out I stepped on the cord so his headphones just weren't

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,960
plugged in yes winner fortunately that

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:07,000
one was relatively easy to diagnose just like diagnosing how much fun we're going

00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:14,159

even they even have a headset they even have a headset they do

36
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,319
have a headset have we not missed a winch I'm pretty sure we've missed a winch I don't think so what about when

37
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:06,519
we were in Taiwan individual ones of us have missed W shows have

38
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:11,159
W oh was that W show or was that live

39
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:12,879
stream oh W show since we started W show

40
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:17,560
I think it's been yeah it's been over a year we haven't missed a w show yeah

41
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,959
okay one of us has managed to drag ourselves in here come hell or high

42
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,319
water or vacation or vacation stachatory holidays

43
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,480
babies or babies I mean most stachatory we both

44
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:37,120
come in yeah as long as we don't have a baby together there's no reason that

45
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:42,920
we'd ever have to miss one just have like a hospital stream people are asking

46
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,640
for an ice bucket I think an ice bucket may be in the future of at least one of

47
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,560
the people sitting on this couch right now so I think I just got I think I just

48
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:55,799
got uh elected or whatever by did you just get challenged by Timmy by Timmy I

49
00:03:53,959 --> 00:04:00,599
think so very nice he sent me a YouTube link and was like hash slick hash slick

50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,959
that's how it's going to be all right so speaking of how it's going

51
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,760
to be how it's always been and how it forever will be I think that was the

52
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:15,439
first thing I said but if you don't think about it too hard it won't make

53
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:16,919
your brain hurt valve is the number one

54
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:21,520
most desirable employer in the gaming

55
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:26,400
industry they surveyed 2,200 companies and people even ranked

56
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:31,440
uh working for valve above having their own

57
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,400
company oh man that's kind of well to be

58
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,840
clear having your own company ain't all it's cracked up to be but having your

59
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:40,919
own company always gets rated extremely highly does it usually yeah in almost

60
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:47,520
all Industries it gets rated pretty highly this is something I didn't know so this was a survey with 2200 game devs

61
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,800
this was posted on the Forum by lots of in unexplainable I think you're looking

62
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:54,240
for the word inexplicable unexplainable

63
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:59,720
I think technically that is grammatically correct I think so okay

64
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,080
well lots of unexplainable lag any anyway thank you for posting it on the

65
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Forum however much your username has confused me sorry carry on um yeah I

66
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,280
think like in in a wide set of Industries having your own companies

67
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:18,600
rated very highly but then you also have to remember that this is coming from people that haven't run their own

68
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:20,440
company right yeah right so that's a

69
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:26,120
thing so as someone who has run their own company there are

70
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:28,479
benefits however it's not like I have a

71
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:34,919
hard time selling people on coming to work for me because I think that they

72
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,440
understand that it's not all just

73
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:42,240
benefits like like my both my parents have ran their own companies I did for a

74
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:46,000
very small period of time and I know you're running one right now and it's

75
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,840
it's it's yeah it's not easy there are good things about it there are

76
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,319
definitely good things about it I set my own hours but that's also one of the

77
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:56,360
worst things about it because you set because to to be very successful you

78
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,400
kind of need to set very large amount of hours I think there's this there's this

79
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:06,080
weird assumption that as a CEO you could just be like well I'm going to take 876

80
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:11,080
days of vacation like George Bush did in his term but um I think what it actually

81
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,759
turns into is you end up working usually double hours for like almost every week

82
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:20,800
yeah and I mean the thing too though is if you have a fantastic team that's able

83
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,440
to support you like I was able to take a week off where I was pretty much

84
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:31,960
completely unplugged for the birth of my new baby girl um if you have that then

85
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:37,400
that's great but most self-employed people work really long and really hard

86
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,639
in order to get to that point so I mean I I was lucky to be able to do it for a

87
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,280
week for me to take a two- week vacation it's probably going to be a little while

88
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:48,639
longer I'm going to have to add some more staff and so it's one of those

89
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,960
things where you can have a very small business like I've crunched the numbers

90
00:06:50,599 --> 00:06:56,560
I've I've been honest with you guys about this I've crunched the numbers

91
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:02,319
what kind of money could I make as a YouTuber with my kind of following just

92
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:04,879
like like me and a chess tripod pumping

93
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:11,520
out videos that are completely unedited you know what I could pay myself a lot

94
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,720
more like multiples more but that's not

95
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,199
really the point because if you're trying to build a sustainable business

96
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,319
you have to invest and you have to spend a lot of money on people who can support

97
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,000
the business and actually help to grow it if you get really good people so

98
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,960
that's the thing that every business owner has to struggle with and you look

99
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,440
at you look at any industry so let's look at the gaming industry like an

100
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:42,440
indie dev has to decide crazy hours do I work crazy stupid hours to make the game

101
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,479
myself from scratch or do I pay crazy

102
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,599
money to build this team that then I'm

103
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:51,560
banking on being able to pay back and then you have all that stress and then

104
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:55,280
you're not sleeping anyway so it's it's not it's not the best thing ever even

105
00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,000
though there are definitely benefits and I know Indie devs that have gone both

106
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:03,400
ways so I don't know

107
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,400
I do know that as well

108
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,360
actually all righty then now to be clear

109
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:13,720
valve internal structure is not universally praised I mean I don't think

110
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:20,000
anyone complains about the snack room but like no no no I think our snack room

111
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:25,280
isn't exactly amazing I actually have an upgrade to our snack room coming yes

112
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:30,840
it's a gumball machine that legitimately works but you have to put money in it oh

113
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,479
no of course oh man of course it was mine when I was

114
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,760
a kid my aunt brought it over to my house and I was just like oh sweet I

115
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:42,519
think it takes quarters okay yeah I had a uh my neighbor at one point in time

116
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:46,200
had this like old school pot machine that you had to put money into mhm but

117
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,600
then he had just cut a hole so the money just fell back out yeah that's not going

118
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:53,839
to happen I know great idea though I like the way you think now the gumball

119
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,880
machine that we got from super fun is broken to the point where to get

120
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,320
gumballs out of it you just take the top off reach in and pull gumballs out and

121
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:05,000
then put the top back on not very secure I wish I hadn't invested in that gumball

122
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:12,640
machine okay now to be clear guys not everything is perfect there they don't

123
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:16,160
have like a hierarchical hierarchy yeah

124
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,640
um but there's there's like the I don't

125
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,839
know what they exactly call it but there's like obviously Gabe is kind of

126
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,519
leading things and he has his his like right hand leftand kind of group of

127
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:30,880
people which he kind of has lead other people it's just it's not like a very

128
00:09:27,959 --> 00:09:34,200
cleancut extreme structure but it's also not completely flat so it's been

129
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,839
criticized as being a little bit like high school because there will tend to

130
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:43,040
be people staking out their own claims and clicks and and stuff like that

131
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,120
although I mean there's some great stuff you know you there are no shareholders

132
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:51,720
it is a privately held company so you don't have to ship something unless you're happy with it um there's also the

133
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,560
fact that you can take as much vacation time as you want which sounds kind of

134
00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:00,519
like being self-employed because that's just another way of saying you know we

135
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,399
have this loose culture where you can work however hard you want but like

136
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:09,440
other people are going to be working hard so you can just get fired it's

137
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,560
almost like a peer pressure system as opposed to just and I'm sure it'll come

138
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,560
down to like if you have some super crazy awesome trip you can be like oh

139
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,800
hey cool this is great and a lot of people are going to know what you're doing and you go do that and come back

140
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,880
and then work hard again as long as you continue to work hard it's probably fine

141
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,880
and the high school thing I think anytime you ever even try to have any

142
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,880
amount of a flat structure you're going to run with this many employees you're

143
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:36,440
going to run into that type of a situation I think anytime you try to add

144
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:39,480
more than a half a dozen employees to a company never mind the structure you're

145
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,959
going to end up with high school or daycare or both like have you ever

146
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,959
worked at a big box store of any sort ever it's just an extension of high

147
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,639
school it doesn't even matter how old the people are that worked there it's

148
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,839
just an extension of high school Best Buy was my best example for that I used

149
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:59,040
to work in Geek Squad when I was like really young I was in like grade 10 I

150
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:03,880
think I started working in Geek Squad and and yeah the whole store is just an

151
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:09,720
extension of high school it's redonkulous um so yeah again nothing has

152
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,320
really changed here Val has always been that like everyone wants to go work

153
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:19,440
there because it's awesome company and they're not EA woo

154
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:22,880
um and like cool they did a study about it but the yeah this has been this has

155
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:27,480
been known for a very long time so it's not exactly new I got a straw pull for

156
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,480
you guys want to hear from you what is your workplace like

157
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:36,680
so I'm going to hit up the hit up the twitch chat with this bad boy we'll run

158
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:40,920
that while we do our next topic here what do you

159
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:43,680
think spam spam spam I don't think we're

160
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:48,920
very high school like I mean part of it is that it's how you defend the I mean I

161
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:52,120
think it's how you define the High School Lake thing okay we're kind of

162
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,560
High School Lake and that we're very casual yeah but we all get along which

163
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,360
is not I think the connotation of high school like is the clicks and the

164
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,360
fighting and the the clicks and the pettiness I don't think we're very Petty

165
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:09,880
no I think we have the I think we might have some features of a possible High

166
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:11,800
School label though yeah there's like

167
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,880
the the Friday after work when everyone kind of like groups up in the main room

168
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,519
and just talks about like random crap I don't know right but I think we're more

169
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:24,399
that that bottom one which no one is voting for yeah mature cohesive and

170
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:29,440
teamwork focused yeah dog all right what's our next topic uh pretty much

171
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,880
some of the same whereas nothing things ever changed which is digital

172
00:12:31,199 --> 00:12:38,120
distribution finally Reigns the PC market I think we've all kind of known

173
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:42,519
this for a long time even in the article they talk about how in Rec as recently

174
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:47,600
as 2010 there was only 48% of the game purchases were made digitally isn't that

175
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:52,920
amazing that's half in 2010 apparently it is now 92% as of

176
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:58,199
2013 it's not even 2013 anymore it was 92% and you know what you don't have to

177
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,440
be a crazy amazing mathematician to figure out that these are really big

178
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,720
numbers so you look at okay you look at a studio you look at someone like

179
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,279
Microsoft or did I say micos sorry

180
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Ubisoft I got a lot of hate going on on Microsoft uh in this episode so maybe

181
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:18,240
you'll be you'll be catching more that so you look at something like someone like Ubisoft and how they're looking at

182
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:23,440
okay well 133% or whatever it was we talked about this last week are 17% I

183
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:29,320
think it was let's say about 15% and head our bets um so over a tenth of

184
00:13:25,959 --> 00:13:31,639
their overall business was PC gaming

185
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:35,279
then you look at that and you go okay well ubisoft's a public company you can

186
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:40,519
look up exactly how much revenue they had in a given year so then you kind of

187
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:45,040
go okay well Ubisoft makes up whatever slice of the overall gaming industry

188
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:51,240
that there is and wow holy crap are we ever talking about

189
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:57,120
a lot of hundreds of millions of dollars that has shifted to digital and

190
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,240
so kind of a really big deal um one one

191
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:04,759
thing that I have to say about this though time yeah yeah is that they're

192
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:10,880
saying as like as recently as 2010 only 48 only 48% of the PC game purchases

193
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:15,440
were made digitally that only is kind of hilarious but yeah I know right uh even

194
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:19,079
since then and before then it got to the point where it was difficult to buy PC

195
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:23,160
games physically y like there was there's been a lot of stuff where there

196
00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:28,480
was no option well you like to buy gamesys I and I try and it's been hard

197
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:32,480
since before 2010 and now it's n impossible for a lot of different games

198
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:36,639
in the last 10 years actually it's it's kind of neat cuz I'm coming up on 10

199
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:41,440
years of having known my wife so I can kind of like I can say okay I can talk I

200
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:47,800
can talk about a 10year period very easily when I met her and we'd go to the

201
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:53,839
mall it was entertaining for me to go to the EB Games and browse while she went

202
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:56,199
and shopped yeah in that time it's gone

203
00:14:53,839 --> 00:15:03,040
from it actually PC gaming made up a significant chunk of the store to PC

204
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:06,399
gaming is like one side of one unit and

205
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,720
it's like it might not even be so

206
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:13,839
they'll have the latest title and they'll have a few copies of that on an endcap and then they'll have like some

207
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:20,399
copies of like Starcraft too Cod and blizzard yeah or they'll have like like

208
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:23,160
whatever some staple type games and then

209
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:25,480
that's it yeah so they kind of did it to themselves on the other hand I can

210
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,160
understand where they're not stocking it if it's not selling so yeah but then

211
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,800
yeah that's like I there's it's not even just places like EB Games though because

212
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:39,000
I think a lot of different gaming companies are straight up just not releasing physical copies of the games

213
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:43,759
it's not like EB Games is specifically trying not to or GameStop or whatever is

214
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:47,000
trying not to stock these things I think they might not even have an option which

215
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,319
is kind of frustrating yeah it's not like something like uh you know a Humble

216
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,480
Bundle is realistically going to have a physical exactly or a lot of Indie Games

217
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,519
in general which are becoming a really big thing recently or stuff like league

218
00:15:56,839 --> 00:16:03,480
and uh DOTA which is brought up in here a lot where a lot of purchases are going

219
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:07,160
towards stuff like league and in-game micro style transactions which are

220
00:16:05,319 --> 00:16:12,440
getting calculated into this percentage number even though they're not actually

221
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:13,880
a like a discr sale yeah you bought this

222
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:19,720
game it's not that but it's still being calculated in this number which it should be that makes sense but yeah I

223
00:16:17,839 --> 00:16:23,319
don't know I I feel like it was forced into this position I know there's a lot

224
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:29,240
of people that do prefer the digital distribution style but I think people

225
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:34,839
like me who want physical copies I'm raising my donger too you just can't

226
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:40,639
tell you can tell that I rose mine

227
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,240
um awesome uh so I I think people like

228
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:47,480
me that actually want physical games were kind of forced out of being able to

229
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:50,120
buy them but you guys are basically dumb

230
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:54,199
so yeah I mean there are legitimate reasons to need physical games slow

231
00:16:51,959 --> 00:16:57,360
internet connections you know guys in Australia not that they can buy games at

232
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,399
all because they come out you know however many months later it's like Australia I screwed and then screwed

233
00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:07,079
again screwed some more when I used to live with my parents it made a lot of sense cuz we didn't have an amazing

234
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:11,360
internet connection so it was actually a lot faster to just drive to the freaking

235
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,000
store and drive back right like it's it just was um but that being said a lot of

236
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:21,559
games now you you go to the store and you come back you put the disc in it's like okay download it yeah I know

237
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:25,000
download this how big was the patch for

238
00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:27,240
um 50 sorry 50 gigs you're talking about

239
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,559
Cod yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no there was another one that we installed

240
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:33,080
recently it was a PC game and it had something like a six gig patch was it

241
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:37,880
Battlefield 4 there was like a day one or day two

242
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,320
patch I remember can't remember might have Battlefield 4 yeah it's ridiculous

243
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:46,840
I know Titanfall was Titanfall is 50 gigs yeah so I get that I get that yeah

244
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:52,039
um all right so what's our what's our next topic here um more news about high

245
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:56,440
prices of ddr4 yeah oh should I go get our ddr4 oh no we already showed that

246
00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,840
last week anyway uh we have other ddr4 but it might be on a test bench

247
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:08,080
he doesn't he means like he laid it on yeah that's what I mean I I didn't say

248
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:12,280
anything about having a motherboard and a ddr4 compatible CPU course just

249
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,120
sitting on the test bench mind you if you were to you know type anything about

250
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:19,320
ddr4 into Google well whatever I'm reading all the same rumors you guys are

251
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:25,039
reading right of course so anyway Australian site PC case gear and UK site

252
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:29,679
scan. co.uk both release pre-order prices on some Corsair ddr4 products

253
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:36,480
including their new vengeance series as well as Dominator Platinum so we are

254
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:40,360
looking at pricing that is double digits

255
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:43,320
percentages more expensive than

256
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:48,440
DDR3 however and this was originally posted on the Forum by blueprint um

257
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,480
there's another article that spins it in a bit of a different way and this was

258
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:59,080
originally posted by Luca and it's from overclock

259
00:18:53,799 --> 00:19:02,799
3D G skill they're rip Jaws for 3,000

260
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,280
mahz ddr4 kit which may or may not be on

261
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:08,799
one of my test benches laying on it yeah laying on it that exact in the package

262
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,440
still because there's obviously nothing to put in it is actually going to be

263
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:18,600
priced pretty similarly to a 3,000 MHz

264
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:21,280
DDR3 kit to which I kind of go okay well

265
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:26,520
that's cool because at least those hyper overclock DDR3 kits that hardcore

266
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:32,880
enthusiasts who want lots of cores on their CPU for example uh might have been

267
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:35,000
inclined to go towards anyway at least

268
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:39,919
those will be fairly similar although I could also make a lot of arguments for

269
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,480
us not really needing 3,000 MHz DDR3

270
00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:46,720
kits in the first place and we've made those videos so anyway the G skill one

271
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:53,760
is priced at 360 Great Britain pounds whereas 8 gig kits of DDR3 at that speed

272
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:57,240
are 320 Great Britain pounds so there

273
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,919
you go um I I don't think that really

274
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,720
applies to a ton of people but it is interesting to see that maybe there

275
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,720
isn't the most massive price hike ever

276
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,520
and to people looking at it going okay yeah they run it the same frequency but

277
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:15,480
the ddr4 kit is going to have looser timings something that a little bird

278
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:19,760
told me is that primary timings might

279
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:21,400
not be as much of a concern with ddr4

280
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:26,320
and we might be looking at a situation where actually playing around with

281
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:31,400
secondary timings called so because they're not the they're not the main

282
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:36,559
five timings of a DDR memory module but rather they're more about inter inter

283
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:42,240
dim communication and that kind of stuff those secondary timings May or sorry did

284
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:47,280
I say inter intra um those secondary timings may actually end up being very

285
00:20:45,159 --> 00:20:51,360
very important and something that the maker won't really be able to advertise

286
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:56,720
in the traditional sense so we're either going to see memory manufacturer shift

287
00:20:53,159 --> 00:20:59,120
towards giving us a much deeper set of

288
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:04,520
timings when they spec out their RAM or people might just end up being pretty

289
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:06,240
confused for a bit here so there you go

290
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:10,799
it's going to be pretty interesting although that is still no matter how

291
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,520
much you want to say like oh yeah well this kid compared to this ridiculous kid

292
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:20,159
is actually not that bad of a deal still way too expensive for me I will jump on

293
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:26,200
that bandwagon much further in the future did you okay have you been an

294
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:30,039
early adopter to any memory Tech no I

295
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:35,880
waited for DDR3 I waited for ddr2 cuz

296
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:39,799
the first DDR3 platform was what LGA

297
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,960
1366 no the first DDR3 platform was 775

298
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:46,279
but it made no sense at that point I think this is the first time in a while

299
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:51,960
actually that we haven't seen a single socket have multiple memory platform

300
00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:56,799
compatibility because it's always been this early stages very expensive time

301
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,960
period has been at a time when it doesn't really make any sense to buy it

302
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,039
anyway because it performs the same and it's on a chip that was really designed

303
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:08,640
for the previous technology yeah cuz I had dominators on 775 which were ddr2

304
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,400
yeah cuz moving from ddr1 to ddr2 um

305
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,840
when AMD was really the Enthusiast platform of choice we did get new SKS

306
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,440
and we did get a new socket but we didn't actually get a microarchitecture

307
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:23,640
update right so it was the same performance you could just pay more for

308
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:26,480
memory or not pay more for memory and

309
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:30,919
that that series of processors was very dependent on latency so DDR one

310
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:35,760
performed really well in the real world aside from you know just running memory

311
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:40,720
band with Ben the ddr1 to ddr2 change was the most hilarious yeah and then

312
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:43,400
ddr2 to DDR3 no I think ddr2 to DDR3 was

313
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:50,799
pretty stupid because basically that was the p45 days when pretty much Gigabyte

314
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:55,360
or ASUS or whoever would have like the motherboard for ddr2 and then the

315
00:22:53,240 --> 00:23:02,960
motherboard for DDR 3 this one would be like $100 more not faster less stable

316
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,080
because early DDR3 was bad I saw more

317
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:10,559
people blindly adopting ddr2 than I saw people blindly adopting DDR3 well they

318
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:13,559
probably got burned when ddr2 was bad

319
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:16,760
probably I mean DDR ddr2 that was that

320
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:19,200
was the N4 680i days like that was when

321
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:24,000
the problem was the chipset was bad like the Enthusiast chipset of choice was

322
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:27,919
terrible and the memory was just not

323
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:31,440
validated properly like I remember ocz

324
00:23:27,919 --> 00:23:34,440
SL sticks of memory putting them into

325
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,799
680i boards they were only supposed to

326
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:41,080
work in one board and they wouldn't work I used to

327
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:46,159
hate how they did naming at that time frame with like SLI and all that kind of

328
00:23:43,159 --> 00:23:50,080
stuff it's like go away speaking of

329
00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:53,200
which uh both ocz and using existing

330
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,320
branding to uh try to sell completely

331
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,880
unrelated products great segue thank you

332
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:04,360
uh here we go oh I got the whole dock up here this was originally posted by

333
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:07,159
brainless 9906 on the Forum and AMD is

334
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:12,200
planning to uh well not planning to they're planning to sell I guess they

335
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,960
have already released their AMD ssds so

336
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:19,120
they're calling these the r7240 or something like that I remember

337
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:25,399
it being funny because when my review sample arrived the box was labeled r7240

338
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,679
and then the description was video card because a lot of these companies when

339
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,799
they fill out their invoices they just have a standard one that they put kind

340
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:36,039
of no matter what they're shipping so it just says video kard I'm like why would

341
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:42,200
they send me an r7240 uh but actually it was an R S Series SSD

342
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,919
so it's based on the ocz Barefoot 3

343
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:51,720
controller it's got some tashiba 19 nanometer class nand on it um there are

344
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:54,200
a few reviews out basically it's um it's

345
00:24:51,720 --> 00:25:00,039
an SSD it's not terribly expensive it does come with a 4year warranty it's

346
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:04,600
more expensive than 84 Evo it is a little bit

347
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:07,000
faster um it comes with a cloning

348
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,559
software to me this is this is kind of one of those things where I look at it

349
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:16,559
and go if you were really determined to build like an AMD outed

350
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,200
system then you could buy this and it

351
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:24,559
would be fine there's nothing wrong with it there's nothing wrong with the Barefoot 3 controller truthfully it's

352
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,760
just it's it's boring yeah it's another

353
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:32,360
commodity SSD at this point I feel like we don't really need another SSD player

354
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:36,440
we have a number of very strong SSD players don't yeah we kind of don't have

355
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:40,840
another SSD player because nothing on this is actually manufactured or

356
00:25:37,919 --> 00:25:44,679
designed by AMD I understand why they might want to get into the market that

357
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,720
way I mean that's how ocz did it they went from rebranding indel links and

358
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:53,320
sandforce controllers to designing their own IP and their own controller by

359
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:57,640
acquiring indel links mind you but but they still did it um and you look at

360
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:02,080
even companies like Intel where sometimes they design their own controller sometimes they just write a

361
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,360
firmware but they're always using their own flash you look at guys like SanDisk

362
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:09,159
where they use their own flash they actually Fab flash so even though

363
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,320
they're using someone else's controller they're contributing something they made in this case AMD is coming in very late

364
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:22,720
contributing nothing that they've actually designed or manufactured and um the pricing is fine

365
00:26:20,159 --> 00:26:27,600
it's just not going to be you can never compete with someone like Samsung who is

366
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,520
fully integrated where they're taking the margin on the flash manufacturing

367
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:35,360
they're taking the margin on the controller manufacturing they're taking

368
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,720
any margin that would exist in terms of a software license and they're taking

369
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,679
the margin on the finished drive that they put in a box and deliver to the

370
00:26:40,679 --> 00:26:46,320
customer so at every level they're taking their margin so how was AMD

371
00:26:44,919 --> 00:26:50,880
supposed to compete with that yeah I don't know I just I was

372
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:55,559
fairly underwhelmed because they had all that all that hype build for this well

373
00:26:53,919 --> 00:26:58,919
the hype might be for something else as well I'm not sure I think they have a

374
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,320
live stream scheduled this week weekend although it's at 700 a.m. my time so

375
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,440
they were like lonus are you going to tune in I'm like no was the live stream

376
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,559
for this weekend for the star seon thing though I don't know I don't think we can

377
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,880
say what the live stream this weekend is for I know what it's for don't try

378
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:19,840
trying to trying to God we have to like play into the

379
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,320
rumors that are out there okay what's what are the rumors there was a tweet

380
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:27,080
for let me see if I can find it oh jeez

381
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:34,039
I thought you were going to like break our NDA oh man okay Chris Roberts

382
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:39,679
no I don't know where the Tweet is but someone from AMD was like you should

383
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:43,919
watch because stars is in news oh okay so I was like oh

384
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:47,000
mantle cuz that's probably what that is maybe I don't know we already know stard

385
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,840
is getting we already know that okay sure

386
00:27:49,679 --> 00:27:54,919
but like what else is going to be in the Star news right and the the start season

387
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:59,320
actually getting mantled I think it's been moderately up in the air I don't

388
00:27:57,399 --> 00:28:02,799
know if it was 100 % confirmed no I think it's it's a confirmed title yeah

389
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:07,640
yeah yeah yeah it doesn't have it yet but it's confirmed that it will at some

390
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:11,480
point although with AMD releasing

391
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,880
everything to the openg Kronos group I

392
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,760
don't know how much sense mantle will make by that time Star Citizen actually

393
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:21,919
comes out anyway by the time star s actually comes

394
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,600
out the the year

395
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:27,559
2070 all right so uh other AMD news that

396
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:33,720
is actually much more exciting hosted by Tech fnatic who is our resident AMD news

397
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,640
poster is that Richard H AMD's gaming

398
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:41,000
wait didn't we talk about this last week I don't think so oh okay well if we

399
00:28:39,159 --> 00:28:44,559
just in case we didn't or just in case we did we'll cover it but we'll do it

400
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:49,240
pretty quickly we might have so free sync is going to be looking at a very

401
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:53,519
minimal cost for monitor manufacturers could be between $10 and $20 in total

402
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:59,760
cost although something to understand guys is that $10 to $20 of cost the

403
00:28:56,679 --> 00:29:01,080
general rule is by the time the end user

404
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,440
actually holds that product it's going to be about double that so you have to

405
00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:11,279
understand that their retailer is going to want their margin the manufacturer is

406
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:15,960
going to want their margin um the you know MDF program that they have with

407
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,399
whoever is going to want their margin they're going to build in some extra margin for people to return the product

408
00:29:19,159 --> 00:29:24,080
because now it's a more expensive product that people might return and they might not be able to do anything

409
00:29:22,919 --> 00:29:28,320
with it so all those things we're looking at about double of a bomb cost

410
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,840
typically so there you go so it'll add anywhere

411
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:36,960
between 20 and 40 bucks so here's the tweet it was from AMD Radeon it says we

412
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,760
know you're excited about star in from Robert Space Industries you'll want to

413
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:45,360
tune in to Ash amd3 live tomorrow Billy

414
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,360
link oh okay cool so I just yeah I don't

415
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,279
know so anyway the exciting thing about it is that we could be looking at

416
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:55,399
freesync monitors that are sampling next month and could arrive to consumers in

417
00:29:51,919 --> 00:29:58,159
early 2015 which compared to g-sync

418
00:29:55,399 --> 00:30:02,039
which is here now um is kind of unfortunate but is not as long as I

419
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:07,080
thought it might take so if you were looking to hold out sort of a little bit

420
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:11,559
longer as opposed to you know another nine months to a year then you're in

421
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:14,600
luck especially with um how kind of slowly graphic technolog is coming out

422
00:30:13,399 --> 00:30:19,640
so if you're pretty good right now you're probably pretty good for a while

423
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:23,000
y all right what do else one of your three monitors I know you're going to be

424
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:31,159
excited about those yeah so this was posted by notional on the Forum and LG

425
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:33,440
is unveiling three new monitors a couple

426
00:30:31,159 --> 00:30:37,720
of which uh well one of which gets me really excited one of which gets his

427
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:43,640
panties pretty wet and the other one of which is almost there yeah for both of

428
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:48,600
us all right so the original article on gur 3D why don't I do the one that I

429
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:51,279
like sure so that monitor that I love

430
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:56,000
ever so much the 9534 I can't even remember the model

431
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:59,960
number because I 3495 is what I think it is

432
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:05,799
they are going to be releasing what looks like pretty much a curved version

433
00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:09,559
of that now curved displays we've actually done the fast as possible on

434
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:14,760
this before they don't make sense in every context in fact a lot of the time

435
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:22,120
they're basically stupid you should not be buying a 42 in or even I'd say a 50in

436
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:28,080
curved TV for your living room because unless you are a forever alone and you

437
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,840
only watch TV by yourself always the

438
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:34,440
problem is that a curved TV is going to deliver a slightly better viewing

439
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:38,799
experience for someone in the sweet spot but an actually worse one for anyone

440
00:31:36,639 --> 00:31:43,120
who's outside of it and a flat TV is going to be a better bet in that case

441
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:47,440
however once a display gets large enough that multiple people can fit in the

442
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:52,120
sweet spot so to speak cram them in there um it starts to make sense now

443
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:56,480
with a monitor a you don't have to worry about multiple viewers very often so

444
00:31:54,440 --> 00:32:01,600
that threshold for when a display is big enough is going to be more easily

445
00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:05,320
achievable and for number two this is

446
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,799
big enough 34 in sometimes I feel

447
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:12,240
sitting in front of my monitor at work like a slight curvature would be really

448
00:32:08,919 --> 00:32:14,840
nice so it's 3440 by 1440 I think it's 6

449
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:18,519
milliseconds of uh response time so pretty much the same as the other one

450
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:22,240
nothing special with respect to what they're claiming about input leg or

451
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:26,880
anything like that so I'm not expecting it to be amazing for gaming the way that

452
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:32,480
the 29in one is a little bit better than the existing 34 in one but uh very

453
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:36,799
exciting from a productivity standpoint and for gamers who are more interested

454
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:42,360
in the immersion I personally in spite of our recent surround gaming build

455
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:45,080
guide I personally find a larger wider

456
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:49,200
screen without bezels more immersive than bezels and you'll notice I said

457
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:54,080
very carefully in that video if you're into this then this is the ultimate

458
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:58,159
setup but for me personally I'd rather have a single screen I've also never

459
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:01,480
really been into that like multi mon surround gaming thing it makes sense

460
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,639
I've seen it in some situations especially for flight Sims yeah or

461
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,399
driving like simulators where those well those

462
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,519
Windows aren't it's not even necessarily a curve those are dedicated to Windows

463
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:15,760
in the vehicle yeah and if you're supposed to be in a cockpit anyway

464
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:19,639
what's another you know support structure or whatever for the glass

465
00:33:17,399 --> 00:33:25,840
right like I'm okay with that but first person it doesn't do much for me yeah me

466
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:28,519
Nei so the next one is a 31 mu 997 31 in

467
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,399
true 4k monitor the only thing that should clarify what

468
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:38,279
true 4K means I was just going to jump into that it's were you GNA jump

469
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:41,760
in it's 496 by 2160 which I believe is

470
00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:41,760
like 19

471
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:51,799
by10 that's what it stated on Wikipedia okay so I I was kind of hoping for 16 by

472
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:54,440
10 um but you know it's all good close enough and that's kind of the resolution

473
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,399
that I've been waiting for for a long time so excited for that the only thing

474
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:04,279
that kind of gets me slightly worried about this is um the fact that it's 31

475
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:08,079
in I know you have experience with really really large monitors but I'm not

476
00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:11,760
necessarily sure if I'm ready to jump that high considering I use 24in

477
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:15,760
monitors but something I have been thinking about for quite a while is getting a really big monitor in the

478
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:20,159
middle of my setup and then setting my two current 24-in monitors into vertical

479
00:34:17,839 --> 00:34:25,119
mode on the side you know it's it's funny you bring that up because I by the

480
00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:28,399
way that aspect ratio is apparently 256 to

481
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:32,440
135 and that's rounded to the nearest hold number or

482
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:37,159
something so

483
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:40,359
yeah I don't know if that's right anyway the point

484
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:44,079
is width and height yeah I think I answered it right what were we saying

485
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,879
right so size of monitor when I originally went 30in and I used a 30-in

486
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:53,839
monitor for a few years um a Samsung 2560

487
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,960
x600 um I I liked it a lot there was an

488
00:34:53,839 --> 00:34:59,240
adjustment period moving to it and like

489
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:04,960
I got used to how big that one again that was a 30 so I got used to it but

490
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,920
you know what I've since gone down to 27

491
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:11,920
in 16x9 and I never miss my 30 in I never

492
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:17,720
miss the extra screen real estate once I'm at 1440 tall when at 1080 tall I

493
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:23,000
don't like it and I would rather have an older 16 by10 aspect ratio or even even

494
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,760
a maybe even a square one compared to that I don't like 16 by9 small wide me

495
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:31,400
neither which is why I've been sitting on 16 X10 for so long and I'd be okay

496
00:35:28,839 --> 00:35:37,240
with going bigger than 24 I just don't know if 31 is 27 is a really nice place

497
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:42,839
to be for a single monitor setup and honestly if I was running multi monitor

498
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:43,960
I would prefer 24 yeah so that that's

499
00:35:42,839 --> 00:35:47,280
but that's why I've been thinking about that that one large one in the middle

500
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,160
and then possibly the two verticals on the side you know what I really want to

501
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:54,200
do as a project because yeah I mean okay with

502
00:35:52,319 --> 00:36:00,160
both of us the big issue with multim monitor is the bezels but there are a

503
00:35:57,079 --> 00:36:02,480
lot of monitors where you can strip them

504
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:06,560
down and you can take all the plastic stuff away and end up with very very

505
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,160
thin bezels because the bezel is effectively there to protect it a lot of

506
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:16,640
the time so if it's just going to sit on your desk forever there's no reason not to remove it I'd be I'd be interested to

507
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:21,839
do like a project build where we strip down three monitors use our ergotech

508
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:23,440
stand and see if that helps it's not a

509
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:30,079
bad idea just kind of sit in front of it and take it in and decide for what

510
00:36:27,839 --> 00:36:33,640
exactly though because I think I still think first person kind of style is

511
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:38,359
still going to be messed up and I still think that kind of cockpit driving style

512
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,760
is still going to be awesome I don't think you're going get away from that

513
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:47,359
because of the wrapping right because you're going to get the weird warping effects on the far

514
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,680
side of the screen where things are on a really weird angle they're stretched and

515
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,400
they move too quickly I mean if games had better support for it I think I'd

516
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,200
feel better about it like if we were if if if basically you could set up the

517
00:36:56,079 --> 00:37:01,520
game where it's like look here are my three camera angles I want it to look

518
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:06,800
like I'm turning my head this way as opposed to looking like you know the

519
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:09,800
scene is made of silly putty when you yeah yeah exactly if there was better

520
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:14,480
support I think it would be really cool but it just like super

521
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,520
breaks in most games that you put it in so unless you're willing to put a fair

522
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:21,280
bit of work into it and then a lot of the time you can fix it yep if you

523
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:25,560
utilize all these little custom tools and then there's the last monitor which

524
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:30,680
is like almost super cool it's the 24 GM 77 that's a 144 Hertz gaming monitor

525
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:34,640
with Dynamic action sync which drastically reduces input leg apparently

526
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:41,480
so they're saying less than 1 Mond response time includes a black stabilizer and motion

527
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:43,760
240 but does not seem to include

528
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:50,119
adaptive syn or gsync I am at a point now where I don't

529
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:55,200
know how I would feel about investing in an expensive gaming monitor that doesn't

530
00:37:52,920 --> 00:38:03,160
have g-sync we actually have a review upcoming of Ben's XL 2410 something to

531
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,680
our 2411 something and we'll have to

532
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:11,319
like basically uh I think Luke's going to be doing that one that was what we had discussed I think so yeah so so what

533
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:13,880
I've done is I've handed Luke our gsync

534
00:38:11,319 --> 00:38:19,720
uh engineering sample ASUS monitor and the Ben q and the analysis is going to

535
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:23,520
be look if gsync costs another hundred

536
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:25,319
bucks is it worth it to invest in a high

537
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,119
refresh rate monitor that doesn't have gsync at this point and I think that's

538
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:34,000
really going to be the angle yeah I haven't gotten that ASUS one from

539
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,839
you yet yeah I gave it to you it's on

540
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,800
your desk in there you complained about the power adapter oh yeah I was using it

541
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,560
for something else I didn't realize that was like to take and go compare things

542
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:49,960
with yeah okay cool yeah go to town I was using that for uh the mouse right

543
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:55,480
g42 right to see how smooth it was and stuff you know what that monitor has uh

544
00:38:52,800 --> 00:39:01,160
like a g-sync module in it and I know NVIDIA has the like the the layout for

545
00:38:59,359 --> 00:39:05,480
how to make a harness to hook it up to the ASUS 32

546
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:10,280
4K if I can get one of those harnesses from them I am so doing a Frankenstein

547
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:13,200
Project and 4king GS syncing that monitor that would be really cool yeah

548
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:19,560
then I'll bring all the other monitors back to the office and I won't need an upgrade for years perfect do that so you

549
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:25,960
stop stealing every monitor we ever get yeah the r Swift home so fast godone

550
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:30,680
never saw it again I never actually saw it running

551
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:36,680
from CES when I first saw it I was like it's okay and then when I got it on the

552
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,599
desk actually using it I took the PA off

553
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:42,000
especially stuff like monitors it's hard to get a proper first impression when

554
00:39:40,319 --> 00:39:47,720
you're at a show at a show is terrible because the lighting is whatever the lighting is and you've got like four

555
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:51,560
minutes of whatever demo they're running like it just is not the right it's not

556
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,160
the right context to have a proper experience often that demo is running

557
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:59,160
because it's like repeatable or easy to maintain instead of being the best thing

558
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,200
like because a boo babe can fix it if it's broken yeah no that's what I mean

559
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:07,680
like it's it's not they're not going to have catastrophes on the floor where they have to show you that you're

560
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,720
they're running a PC instead of an

561
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:16,119
Xbox that's what a lot of them are going to be tuned towards uh want to

562
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:18,000
rant uh oh man you know what why don't

563
00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:24,760
we do why don't we do our sponsor spots and then I'll rant on this product

564
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:27,359
okay I don't I don't oh anyway okay

565
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:30,599
let's let's do that first so big thanks to

566
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:36,760
linda.com for being a sponsor of the W show today guys linda.com is a fantastic

567
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:40,160
place to go and learn a new skill you can pick up some digital photography

568
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:45,680
tricks you can pick up some video editing tricks you can pick up you know

569
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,280
oh I don't know and pretty much it goes beyond Hobbies like it's cool because

570
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,800
the way that their lessons are structured they're coming from experts

571
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:58,359
they are set up so you can almost kind of follow along in a course and if you

572
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:03,520
want to pick up some real programming skills for example you use linda.com as

573
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:08,200
kind of like a pseudo school so yeah they don't award you with you know uh a

574
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:11,760
diploma or whatever else you know because yay online diplomas are probably

575
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,520
worth something no it's more about the knowledge that you're actually gaining

576
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:19,720
because there are at least two people here at lus Media Group who on a

577
00:41:17,319 --> 00:41:24,480
day-to-day basis use their linda.com knowledge that they learn by being

578
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,720
subscribed so linda.com wow for a free

579
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:30,839
7-Day trial because if it's not for you then you can go ahead and cancel it and

580
00:41:29,359 --> 00:41:36,599
you can just go okay yeah this isn't that useful for me or I don't have the time right now or whatever else and just

581
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:41,040
give it a shot and if you don't have the time to commit to like every day like I

582
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:46,040
mean even some online courses it's like you attend the seminar at that time

583
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,839
linda.com doesn't work that way you can tune in when you want you can tune out

584
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:54,720
when you want because it's a subscription based service so I guess ultimately They Don't Really

585
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,960
Care yeah when you're to when you're

586
00:41:54,720 --> 00:42:01,960
when you're done but that yeah that benefits you too though yeah I mean it's good for everyone that way I think yeah

587
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:06,319
so there you go guys linda.com thank you free 7-Day trial also this is fairly

588
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,920
exciting you want to talk about what you're going to be doing at the show uh

589
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,040
the show I honestly I expect a lot of what the show is going to be is running

590
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:16,720
around to different motherboard manufacturers checking out something specific

591
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:23,240
um no more information hopefully that's

592
00:42:21,319 --> 00:42:26,280
what's going to happen um we're going to be just like we've been doing for shows

593
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:29,920
for a while now that's probably really loud why is that so loud I don't know

594
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:35,200
sorry about that um just like we've been doing for shows for a while now when it's a gaming show we we will be

595
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,920
releasing a bulk of it as actually Hardware stuff a lot of the hardware

596
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:42,160
guys are going to these gaming shows because they want to show people that are gaming their Hardware kind of

597
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:48,319
totally makes sense I want to show people my Hardware I always show people my Hardware um

598
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,760
so so yeah we'll be checking out a lot of that kind of stuff we'll also be

599
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,960
checking out gaming stuff um I'm trying to get in contact with blizzard but it

600
00:42:53,559 --> 00:43:03,400
doesn't really seem to be working so we probably won't have any Warlords or drain or stuff from Blizzard's watching

601
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,000
hey hello we're a thing than you um

602
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,680
we'll probably have an indie Mega Booth Roundup video that's been seeming to

603
00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:14,160
work well lately instead of a whole bunch of individual indie games we'll just do one like top five things that I

604
00:43:12,599 --> 00:43:17,640
saw well walking through the Indie Mega booth and I'll be down there for

605
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:21,559
Saturday Saturday so I'll be around on the show floor on Saturday so if you run

606
00:43:19,319 --> 00:43:26,119
into me come say hi hopefully not when I'm in the middle of filming something

607
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:30,400
thank you hang out and so we wanted to give a big thanks to

608
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:33,680
hyperx for actually enabling us to be there so I'm just going to screen show

609
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:38,440
you guys for a second they they actually they've been asking us a lot lately to

610
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:43,640
kind of draw attention to their hyperx YouTube channel and I was like yeah okay

611
00:43:41,319 --> 00:43:48,280
we can do that and you know because a lot of the time manufacturer YouTube

612
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:49,839
channels are really not that great but

613
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,440
they've actually got some pretty interesting stuff going on here right

614
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:57,280
now I don't know if you've actually checked it out I have but social blade

615
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:02,240
is my kind of ultimate uh haven't checked their social creeper thing and

616
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:07,280
check this out they've gained 20,000 subscribers in the last 30 days they

617
00:44:04,359 --> 00:44:11,760
have 42,000 subscribers total they are growing Crazy Fast right now actually

618
00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:14,760
yeah and they're putting out a lot of a lot of content that I think will be

619
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:19,440
really interesting to people like where are these uh they had some interviews

620
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:26,200
that are like a quarter million views like check this out uh where did it go

621
00:44:23,319 --> 00:44:31,040
yeah here we go I'm a CutiePie 282,000 views and it's it's such a simple format

622
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:35,000
it's like it's 20 questions and they're like the simplest things like there's

623
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:39,240
questions about his hair like it's not it's kind of casual it's it's pretty

624
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:43,119
cool and I was like oh these guys are actually doing YouTube kind of right

625
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:46,200
yeah most manufacturers really don't get it it's like yeah we want to put all of

626
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,559
our ads on our YouTube and they have some ads on their YouTube channel too to

627
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:54,079
be very clear we even made a couple of them but I I'm not surprised though

628
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:59,079
because when we went to go check out their head offices for E3 I got that

629
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:02,480
vibe from their hyperx tour thing that we got to go through checking out like

630
00:45:00,359 --> 00:45:05,599
their gaming room and stuff it was like okay yeah they're actually kind of

631
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:10,079
focused on making something awesome so guys um yeah so thanks to hyperx for

632
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:14,800
being our gold sponsor for PA Prime this year and guys check out their YouTube

633
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:16,680
channel if you want to have gaming

634
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:22,880
content and learn about new memory and USB drives and stuff like that all those

635
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:24,520
good things all right so time for uh I

636
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:28,599
kind of want to start like a rant segment for Linus Tech tips cuz there's

637
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:34,760
some stuff that I could just that I could just do and this isn't we kind of do this isn't quite that bad this is

638
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:38,480
more like a a square peg round hole type thing as opposed to something that's

639
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:44,160
just uniformly terrible we don't call it a ranch segment but like Beats by 50

640
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:51,280
that was pretty rany streets by 50 my bad um so yeah you guys probably

641
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,280
recognize my daily driver phone the HTC1

642
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:57,640
M8 whoa Windows Phone wow I didn't know

643
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:03,280
about that um so now there a there's an HTC1 M8 Windows phone edition it's a

644
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:06,800
Verizon exclusive right now although I saw a rumor that Sprint's going to be

645
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:10,920
picking it up as well which has only caused a little bit of trouble for me I

646
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:15,559
had to program my APN manually and then I had to contact HTC directly because

647
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:20,359
Verizon customer support wouldn't do it for me um in order to get internet

648
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:24,480
tethering enabled on the phone I'm like look I got my phone working everything's

649
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:28,240
cool everything's fine I just need you guys to because I'm not on your network

650
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:32,720
so I I don't see why you would care if I internet tether I need you guys to like

651
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:36,760
come out of the Stone Age and turn that crap on on my phone thanks dog and

652
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:41,800
they're like oh yeah we actually can't do that because um you know you're not a

653
00:46:39,559 --> 00:46:45,240
Verizon subscriber I'm like well I can't be a Verizon subscriber I'm in Canada do

654
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:50,559
you have service up here no I didn't think so so can I give you the Sim

655
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:55,880
information for the Sim that came in it or the IMEI for the phone um so so sir

656
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:59,760
you know the the reason that you're having a bad experience with the device

657
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:04,880
is because you know you're getting these headaches because it's not a Verizon uh

658
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:08,280
Network device and it's or it is a Verizon network device and you're not in

659
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:13,520
the Verizon network look I don't care I'm not going to be a Verizon customer I

660
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,559
don't live there turn the feature on and

661
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:20,680
then I so HTC ended up being able to take that care of that for me but sorry

662
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:24,800
Verizon rant over uh dri W thank you for posting this in the Forum uh we have

663
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:29,359
some details about it obviously cuz I'm working on my review for it but it is

664
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:33,240
pretty much exactly the same Hardware as the 1 I made Android edition there are

665
00:47:31,559 --> 00:47:36,960
some changes the radio is slightly different so it supports fewer

666
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:39,599
frequencies which because it's a Verizon exclusive device I guess that makes

667
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:43,640
sense maybe they were able to cost it down fraction of a couple of pennies or

668
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:49,599
whatever that would work out too in that way um and you know you fire it up and

669
00:47:47,319 --> 00:47:54,200
it's it's it's the the Windows Phone experience do they have the same problem

670
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:59,240
with the glass on the camera I don't know I don't know if that's been

671
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,599
resolved um I just I know I know some

672
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:07,079
people would care about that so I'm not really sure yeah it's really hard to say when it's

673
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,559
brand new but I'll be using it for at least a couple weeks to get a really

674
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:16,440
good impression of what's going on with this phone because I I want to be fair

675
00:48:13,319 --> 00:48:18,440
to it but I'm running into a lot of

676
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:23,960
issues and they're not related to the 1 M8 the 1 M8 is a fantastic piece of

677
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:29,720
Hardware this is a great device I love it the problem is that I really don't

678
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:36,760
feel like Windows Phone The Experience scales for an Enthusiast I feel like for

679
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:39,079
basic functionality text messages email

680
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:43,359
phone navigation Once you pull the crappy Verizon Navigator off and put on

681
00:48:41,079 --> 00:48:48,520
a real one um which you can find for free in the in the store I I feel like

682
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:55,319
it's fine for all that but if you're actually trying to do anything on it

683
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:58,520
there's just how and it's it's just it's

684
00:48:55,319 --> 00:49:01,480
little stuff like okay um there's no

685
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:09,319
Hangouts client like really I use Hangouts every day that

686
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:11,119
sucks it's like super crappy so you have

687
00:49:09,319 --> 00:49:15,760
you're going to have to get ready for a lot of workflow changes that you're not

688
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:21,400
going to be accustomed to even if you've done the Android iOS switch before like

689
00:49:18,799 --> 00:49:25,400
I actually switched to iOS recently I've been using my iPhone 5s for a couple

690
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:29,040
weeks now just because I'm getting ready for the iPhone 6 to drw

691
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:33,240
and I want to be somewhat familiar with the platform so I'm not just figuring

692
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:37,440
out iOS again when the time comes to review that device and going from

693
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:42,480
Android to iOS these days is pretty seamless dropping on to Windows phone

694
00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:47,319
man there's nothing like the Instagram clients of beta like Gmail has no like

695
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:52,079
and we're talking Google services so obviously there's not a whole lot there

696
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:54,920
like but Gmail has no native Native

697
00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:58,839
client so you can use the uh so you can use the buil-in one but then you're

698
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:03,240
going to have just that stuff that feels very Stone Age like notifications that

699
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:07,040
are sitting on your phone for emails that you already checked on a PC because

700
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:11,200
they don't go away because it doesn't work that way when you're not just using

701
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:15,680
Google's client um I actually I'm going to cover this in much more depth in the

702
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:19,599
actual video where actually throughout my time using it I'm going to be

703
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:24,760
creating a list of apps I looked for and found and apps I looked for and didn't

704
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:28,720
find and some of those apps I looked for and didn't find are going to be pretty

705
00:50:26,119 --> 00:50:33,760
spectacular like one of the things that I hate about it is the keyboard and I

706
00:50:30,799 --> 00:50:38,119
was like just you know curiosity um does cuz like look how much of the screen the

707
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:41,599
keyboard takes up whoa when it's when it's got predictive text on there it's

708
00:50:39,839 --> 00:50:47,280
up to here what's with the stuff on the bottom I can't see the side uh that's

709
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,359
send attachment oh voice a lot of space

710
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,799
yeah it takes up a lot of space and you can make the navigation bar go away in the bottom but you use it so often

711
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:57,599
you're going to want it most of the time anyway so I wanted to change the

712
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,119
keyboard and I was like oh I wonder if there's swift key so I looked it up and

713
00:50:59,559 --> 00:51:06,839
it turns out that the only things that come up for swift key are outright scams

714
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:09,960
one of them has seven onestar reviews

715
00:51:06,839 --> 00:51:13,119
going back to about three weeks ago

716
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:16,839
saying this is a scam it's a $1 link to

717
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:20,640
the SwiftKey website oh yeah like just

718
00:51:16,839 --> 00:51:23,359
bad like it's not even a terrible

719
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:27,200
keyboard like wallpaper that looks like a keyboard like they didn't even do

720
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:31,400
anything it's just a link and Microsoft hasn't removed this from the store and I

721
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:34,440
think that the same problem this Segways into our next topic I know but I'm not

722
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:38,559
going to let you do it just yet so I think my problem with the 1 M8 Windows

723
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:44,640
phone edition is effectively HTC has done their best here

724
00:51:42,079 --> 00:51:48,440
their camera app is is as easy to use as the window or as the Android version

725
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:51,359
they've actually got blink feed as a live tile so you can still use blink

726
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:56,680
feed if you're into that which I've actually started using more lately oh it

727
00:51:54,799 --> 00:52:01,680
still has double tap to wake so there you go like it's it's the 1 M8 it's just

728
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:08,040
on a platform that just doesn't feel Enthusiast friendly like at all you know

729
00:52:05,359 --> 00:52:12,240
and the whole lifetile concept it's very beautiful and you know going like this

730
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:17,480
oh you can go look at your apps and do whatever the problem is that live tiles

731
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:21,599
change visually which if you look at you know someone like McDonald's how often

732
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:26,079
do they change their logo why do they not change that recognizability is good

733
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:30,960
when people are trying to find things so to me live tiles changing what they look

734
00:52:28,839 --> 00:52:34,480
like is not necessarily a very positive thing and you might go okay well lus

735
00:52:32,839 --> 00:52:40,520
just memorize where they all are to which I would say yeah that's fine too

736
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:42,640
except that unlike Android and iOS you

737
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:48,880
don't have discrete pages and you can't create

738
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:51,079
subfolders so you actually once you

739
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:55,280
start scrolling for remembering where everything is on the page goes out the

740
00:52:52,720 --> 00:53:02,440
window you can't muscle memory you know scroll down you know 38 of a decimeter

741
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:07,160
and then you click on the this part it doesn't work that way so hey that's a

742
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:12,040
unit of measurement just no one uses it I know

743
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:17,000
but well I I wanted to say 38 of an inch but that's not enough to be an actual so

744
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:21,160
I changed it to decimeter mid sentence anyway because no one uses fractions of

745
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:26,799
metric measurements either so it was just a completely broken thing to say

746
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:28,440
anyway the point is that um it's once

747
00:53:26,799 --> 00:53:33,480
you if you're going to install more apps than what fits on like one home screen

748
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:39,520
it just doesn't scale very nicely and and it's not intuitive to use so I um I

749
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:45,680
I I was really hoping that Windows phone would have matured a lot since I used it

750
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,760
a year ago on a on an HTC 8X I think it

751
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:52,960
did I think it matured into a giant scam machine okay so that's how you're going

752
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,400
to segue into our next topic okay I just

753
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:58,760
I'm trying to make sure that you have anything left to still make a video

754
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:02,640
about posted by JM 299 oh I'm I'm going to have lot I mean I'll say mostly that

755
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:06,839
stuff that's more trolling than anything troll

756
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:09,920
yourself all right talk about this this

757
00:54:06,839 --> 00:54:11,760
is for Windows phone and like Windows 8

758
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:18,079
where there's the Microsoft store and this headline written by J Master here

759
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:20,160
is pretty sensationalist Microsoft

760
00:54:18,079 --> 00:54:24,240
willingly allowing malicious apps in the Windows store to obtain a cut of the

761
00:54:21,839 --> 00:54:27,000
profits that is some tinfoil hat stuff there the to obtain a cut of the profits

762
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:31,920
thing is maybe a little bit sensationalist but um willingly allowing

763
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,359
is not sensationalist yes that's actually a thing I know they have

764
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,839
allowed the apps to I mean okay okay okay and they have to be manually

765
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:43,319
approved you talk you talk so the store is the stores are crammed with fake

766
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:46,640
versions of popular paid apps like lonus was just talking about you can you can

767
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:52,760
look for something and it'll just give you a link to download it that's an extremely common situation and even the

768
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:56,760
descriptions on some of them will be like helps the user to know how to

769
00:54:54,680 --> 00:55:00,640
download and use this thing but it's not how to use it or anything it's just a

770
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:04,760
link to the proper app where you can download it for free that's it and I

771
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:10,480
believe the iTunes one is $9 they provide you a $9 link ridiculous

772
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:15,760
that should never be manually approved by an employee that is insane um

773
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:20,040
Microsoft does claim that in their store everything is manually improve approved

774
00:55:17,799 --> 00:55:24,000
by an employee so that whole willingly willingly knowing that they're having

775
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:28,039
scam apps has to be true or they're lying about that someone knows but I

776
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:34,880
don't think that the people creating the policy for the approval of apps is they

777
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:38,079
must know at this point like what if it's been in the news so much and you'd

778
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:42,039
think if you ever look at the store like I I believe even a even a search for VLC

779
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:46,839
comes up with a whole bunch of paid versions that are just links to download

780
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:50,880
which is like okay come on now and like that one that I was just talking about

781
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:54,240
$9 for a link to iTunes iTunes is extremely common they must have ran into

782
00:55:52,760 --> 00:56:00,839
this at some point in time there has to be someone reporting it up the chain

783
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:02,760
being like hey and $9 link and there

784
00:56:00,839 --> 00:56:07,160
really needs to be an after Thea review system for ones like the one I mentioned

785
00:56:04,839 --> 00:56:12,359
where it had seven onear reviews going back several weeks anything that's got

786
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:17,920
like you know two or three onear reviews in a row that's got to put up some major

787
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:20,799
red flags I mean the app creator didn't

788
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:28,640
even bother to create a Spam account to give it a festar rating it has literally

789
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:30,680
nothing to get past filter of any sort

790
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:34,359
nothing no attempt made so there must just not be one where where he's coming

791
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:39,880
from with the whole trying to skim the profits thing which I I don't I don't

792
00:56:36,799 --> 00:56:43,760
know how how necessarily real that is

793
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:45,200
what the um but they see they're giving

794
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:50,720
money out at this point so I don't know if it totally makes sense they're running a keep the cash promotion where

795
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:56,520
they paid developers $100 for each completed app so if you're trying to get

796
00:56:52,839 --> 00:56:58,960
those $100 things if you put a link in

797
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:02,200
and upload it as an app you just made a 100 bucks so obviously a bunch of people

798
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:08,280
are going to want to do that and you can make up to $2,000 per developer if you

799
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:10,359
want pretty much free $2,000 just make a

800
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:14,280
bunch of apps that link to other apps and you're done that's kind of

801
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:18,720
fantastically horrible and you know what it it it aligns with their seeming

802
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:23,839
desperation to deliver search results when people search in the store like I

803
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:27,359
search for TW TT and instead of bringing

804
00:57:23,839 --> 00:57:29,599
up things like carbon it brought up

805
00:57:27,359 --> 00:57:33,880
official Twitter and then it brought up like Facebook and Instagram which I'm

806
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:37,880
like okay those are at least within the same category and then as you continue

807
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:42,160
to scroll down the list things get less and less related to the point where it's

808
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:46,039
just like you know it's not about delivering more results it's about

809
00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:49,799
delivering the most relevant result and it really feels like they aren't there

810
00:57:47,799 --> 00:57:52,839
yet and speaking of that in April 2014 they announced that they have over

811
00:57:50,839 --> 00:57:57,599
400,000 apps combined between the Windows phone and Windows uh just normal

812
00:57:54,920 --> 00:58:00,480
Windows store um but that includes all the scams so they have some amount of

813
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:04,240
incentive not to take them down because they can keep that in their number of

814
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:08,520
apps that they have and if they act all of these scam apps that would greatly

815
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:13,039
reduce their total amount of apps that they can claim that they have also

816
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:17,079
Microsoft takes a cut of every sale of every app sale so this is where people

817
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:22,119
are thinking that hat they want to keep them around but honestly looking at the

818
00:58:19,039 --> 00:58:24,520
like tiny little miniature microscopic

819
00:58:22,119 --> 00:58:28,839
droplets that has to be in their revenue stream yeah I don't see them taking that

820
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:33,039
giant risk for that that doesn't make a l I think they're a lot smarter than

821
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,440
that at some level so so I think something's going wrong I don't think

822
00:58:34,359 --> 00:58:39,720
it's because of the money especially because they were giving out1 $100 per

823
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:43,920
app for people to just make them in general yeah I don't see this being a

824
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:48,680
money gaining opportunity if I was going to create a program like that I'd

825
00:58:45,839 --> 00:58:54,119
probably have a bigger payout for like people to create one app cuz

826
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:57,559
How could an individual developer create 20 quality apps within a reasonable

827
00:58:55,839 --> 00:59:02,039
period of time that's just stupid and like maybe have a bigger payout and be

828
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:07,280
like yeah you get the money the really big payout when you have a certain ratio

829
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:10,359
of stars or something like say you have to have three star minimum or something

830
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,680
like that it has to be useful but then like pay attention to the star ratings

831
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:20,160
and make sure that they're not just all scam which is very common lately yeah

832
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:26,559
all right so happy topic yeah so speaking of wanting people to like you

833
00:59:23,119 --> 00:59:29,079
Disney is rumored to be working on an

834
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:34,880
unaltered release of the Star Wars Trilogy the original trilogy not the one

835
00:59:30,799 --> 00:59:37,440
no one cares about on Blu-Ray now as

836
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:41,559
someone who has seen the Blu-ray enhanced

837
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:47,599
versions wow they look a lot better than the original releases man like they did

838
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:49,760
some serious work to clean that stuff up

839
00:59:47,599 --> 00:59:53,280
and make it look like really good by the way once I was looking for it in a new

840
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:57,599
hope you can easily spot the Stormtroopers with gaffet tape on yeah

841
00:59:55,559 --> 01:00:01,520
yeah that's fun yeah especially in the uh in the Blu-ray version um so I've

842
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:08,039
seen the Blu-ray version I've seen the original releases the problem is that I

843
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:11,319
cannot take a New Hope seriously if greo

844
01:00:08,039 --> 01:00:14,000
shoots first and it seems like a stupid

845
01:00:11,319 --> 01:00:19,200
Petty thing but I went back and watched the original release on like VHS

846
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:24,839
cassettes pretty recently it was actually kind of awesome um and the way

847
01:00:22,359 --> 01:00:31,359
it's cut together the way the music flows the way everything

848
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:34,000
happens Han is a badass and shot the

849
01:00:31,359 --> 01:00:39,839
dude because he's tired of his crap boom and like the way he the way he

850
01:00:37,359 --> 01:00:43,799
tips the bartender like a couple bucks for leaving a dead body in the you're

851
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:48,319
not going to convince me that he's some kind of white freaking Knight at this

852
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,559
point come on he's clearly this doesn't even phase him at all blowing someone

853
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:59,720
away in a bar does not even register on his radar

854
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:04,599
so anyway I am super excited to see this I plan to buy it um if it happens and

855
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:08,240
you know what at this point time even if it even if it is a rumor and wasn't

856
01:01:06,359 --> 01:01:12,440
being worked on they should scramble their ass and get this released because

857
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:17,039
they're getting all good publicity right now if Disney was looking to gain the

858
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:21,440
favor of the hardcore fans like you think about the hardcore Star Wars fans

859
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:27,039
how many times they've been crapped on in the last 20 years so many so many

860
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:32,920
times they're going to be going into Disney's first crack at this with a

861
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:36,760
negative vibe as opposed to going in excited you know ready to be blown away

862
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:42,319
they're going to be going in expecting to be disappointed and I think Disney's going to have to work that much harder

863
01:01:39,799 --> 01:01:47,920
to impress them whereas if they do this ahead of time I think it's a very

864
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:50,400
different aura that walks into that

865
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:53,839
theater for the first screening so yep so they really really should do this

866
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:58,119
even if it is just a rumor all these rumors are coming from comicbook.com so

867
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:01,520
we don't even know how credible this is but uh the rumor is that the project is

868
01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:06,880
taking longer than expected due to damage to the negatives but I I'd be

869
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:08,440
super stoked if this happened yeah all

870
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:13,079
right so speaking of things I'd be super stoked if they happened Google's

871
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:16,400
driverless cars can keep up with the

872
01:02:13,079 --> 01:02:19,240
flow of traffic this this has been very

873
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:22,520
like posted by Victoria Secret a lot see exact this is what I'm talking about the

874
01:02:20,839 --> 01:02:26,720
the titles for a lot of these things in my opinion have been pretty

875
01:02:24,359 --> 01:02:30,760
sensationalist because to exceed the speed limit they're not designed to

876
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:35,000
purposefully just be like ha we're going too quickly but they have a threshold

877
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:39,400
where they're take that Coppa yeah they have a threshold where they are allowed

878
01:02:37,279 --> 01:02:43,839
to go slightly above the speed limit I don't think it's that fast 10 miles or

879
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,200
about 16 km an hour which is that's that's pretty fast but that's what

880
01:02:45,039 --> 01:02:51,720
they're allowed to do they're not programmed to do this but in a lot of areas it's perfectly reasonable yes

881
01:02:50,359 --> 01:02:55,520
because they're keeping up with the flow of traffic because it has been proven

882
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:59,079
time and time again that not keeping up with the flow traffic can be very

883
01:02:57,119 --> 01:03:05,119
dangerous yeah like proven not speculated not by like Reddit but proven

884
01:03:03,559 --> 01:03:10,279
that it's dangerous to go too slow speculated by Reddit yeah no no no

885
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:12,480
proven by like actual science yeah so

886
01:03:10,279 --> 01:03:15,440
they're they're not designed to just go out and exceed speed limits because

887
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:19,760
they're they're wanting to get there quickly um they're designed to keep up

888
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:25,359
with traffic and if that has to do with uh exceeding the speed limit by a fairly

889
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:31,000
reasonable amount then it's okay but they're not like keep up with traffic is

890
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:34,279
if traffic is going 200 mil hour because

891
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:36,440
yeah so another interesting thing along

892
01:03:34,279 --> 01:03:40,799
the uh also related to Google's driverless cars from this week is that

893
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:45,200
the state of California is telling Google they don't want them on the road

894
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:50,920
unless they have a steering wheel and pedals so that the driver can take

895
01:03:47,559 --> 01:03:52,240
immediate control if needed um and this

896
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:57,680
is this is going to be this is going to be a big debate for a while because part

897
01:03:54,559 --> 01:03:59,680
of the safety of driverless cars is

898
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:04,640
going to be taking human error out of the

899
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:06,240
equation so for now Google is

900
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:11,960
retrofitting the ones that they've already made is my understanding uh but

901
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:18,400
the ones like the actual official Google car was not supposed to have a steering

902
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:20,240
wheel and pedals so this could uh yeah

903
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:26,000
this this debate could rage for a while in the UK they are looking to allow

904
01:04:22,559 --> 01:04:27,960
Google's cars starting in 2015 so once

905
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:32,260
again someone else is more Progressive than the United States where the

906
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:34,680
Innovation is actually

907
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:40,880
happening yeah it's kind of funny when you look at it that way isn't it it is

908
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:46,000
funny um I mean what makes the United States a

909
01:04:42,839 --> 01:04:50,039
Powerhouse research and Technology it's

910
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:51,720
like no we don't want it here I I I find

911
01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:56,920
the the United States almost more than any other region though is very scared

912
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:59,680
of uh having things go out of people's

913
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:03,480
yeah well you know it's funny cuz I was about to say movies and TV shows

914
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:08,839
probably don't help but this actually reminds me of a fantastic I think it was

915
01:05:05,559 --> 01:05:10,799
a two-part episode of Doctor Who where

916
01:05:08,839 --> 01:05:15,160
some bad guy I don't remember exactly the context I think it's another time

917
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:18,720
lord or something or can't remember some bad aliens or something so the basically

918
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:24,359
the plot of every Doctor Who episode ever uh they were they were using a car

919
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:27,799
manufacturer to that was it was like better emissions or something was like a

920
01:05:26,039 --> 01:05:31,240
thing that you could install in your car and then they just had them like drive

921
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:37,240
people into lakes and stuff so it's not like that kind of content doesn't exist

922
01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:41,319
in the UK it's just you have to also have your feet on the ground in reality

923
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:46,079
and realize that you don't live in that world and look at something that has

924
01:05:43,559 --> 01:05:50,359
actually been very well tested at this point I mean what is it 700,000 miles of

925
01:05:48,319 --> 01:05:56,160
logged travel on these cars and the only accidents have been like caused by

926
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:58,760
another driver yeah not them um

927
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:03,319
I don't know what was I going to say uh right iRobot there's the manual takeover

928
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:07,880
thing but then it doesn't really help yeah it's like okay yeah I don't know

929
01:06:06,119 --> 01:06:12,960
what people are scared of obviously is like technical failure but then and

930
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:16,960
people don't like giving up control yeah I mean if someone told me if Google told

931
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:22,720
me look actually this is a perfect example if Google told me hey we've come

932
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:25,160
up with an automated way to look at your

933
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:30,720
video so you just upload it and then we'll create the perfect title thumbnail

934
01:06:27,359 --> 01:06:33,200
and description for you i' be like no

935
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:35,839
you high and that we're not even talking about my life we're just talking about

936
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:39,000
my job at that point to be honest though if it worked after a long time I would

937
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:44,880
eventually let it just do it I would just want my own testing done on it that's all right to be completely honest

938
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,839
and then what you could do is like just let it go and then if something's wrong

939
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:52,480
just go edit it later it's not as consequential as driverless cars but I

940
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:57,279
don't know and that that that brings in the same debate where if if you crash at

941
01:06:54,760 --> 01:07:02,279
least it was your fault fault yeah if the AI crashes it wasn't your fault even

942
01:07:00,359 --> 01:07:07,240
if the odds of you crashing were much higher

943
01:07:04,799 --> 01:07:12,119
yeah I I'm not I'm just saying this that's that's an argument I've I've

944
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:15,079
probably logged less than 700,000 miles

945
01:07:12,119 --> 01:07:22,920
of driving in my life let me just think oh yeah definitely less probably about a

946
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:25,720
half to 2third of that but I have been

947
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:31,079
in at least two or three at fall accidents in that time so on the other

948
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:35,440
hand in the last 5 or six years I haven't been in

949
01:07:32,119 --> 01:07:37,720
any so you know do you look at this and

950
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:41,960
kind of go oh okay well you know for new drivers but then they'll never get any

951
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:46,119
experience and we're going to be talking about you know previous generation

952
01:07:44,319 --> 01:07:50,160
people who are not used to this new fangle technology would you trust your

953
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:54,039
kids to it like that's that's something like would I trust myself to drive

954
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:57,839
around in a self-driving car actually probably I would probably ride around

955
01:07:55,640 --> 01:08:03,200
one but if I were to buy a self-driving car for my family like one of the one of

956
01:08:00,319 --> 01:08:07,960
the sort of you know Utopia amazing future types things that I imagine is

957
01:08:06,039 --> 01:08:11,680
that every household will only need one vehicle because it can just go where

958
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:16,080
it's needed it'll go pick up the kids and take them to karate and then when

959
01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:19,719
it's done with that it'll go pick up you know me and take me there to meet them

960
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,520
and watch them and then it'll go pick up my wife when she's done work and take

961
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:29,319
her to come and then we'll all go together home like that's amazing that's

962
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:32,279
so cool but would I really just let a

963
01:08:29,319 --> 01:08:35,480
car go by itself to pick up my son when he's done you know the day at

964
01:08:33,759 --> 01:08:39,000
kindergarten I don't know how I feel about that what if it gets to the point

965
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:41,880
where there's the the car should obviously actually have cameras all over

966
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,199
the place and you can connect to at any point in time so you can see it drive up

967
01:08:43,759 --> 01:08:52,000
to the building that your son's at you can see your son get into the car you may I'm old for this stuff maybe maybe

968
01:08:49,719 --> 01:08:55,920
virtual presence devices are weird me out a

969
01:08:53,480 --> 01:09:01,719
little I don't know man what if it gets to the point where virtual pres iPad

970
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:04,319
Dad yeah yeah yeah but seriously what if it gets to the point where you've seen

971
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,440
that thing where you can you can attend a a conference or convention through

972
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:12,279
that wheel iPad right what if that becomes way more intense what if you're

973
01:09:10,159 --> 01:09:16,440
controlling an Android what if you could literally carry your sign out of the car

974
01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:23,159
but it's not your body I'm giving him a robot hug and I'm getting an iPad kiss I

975
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:26,000
meant like I meant more like if the car

976
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:31,159
crashes if the car crashes oh man I don't even know the car crashes and

977
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:33,759
there's this like metal like heavyduty

978
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:39,040
emergency Droid sitting in the car and you can just be like take over pick up

979
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:45,279
carry out call 911 on its built-in Android software I don't know

980
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:46,679
man I was even I wasn't even thinking

981
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:51,560
about not being there in the invent of an emergency I was just thinking about

982
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:54,159
how impersonal the whole thing is

983
01:09:51,560 --> 01:10:00,880
right that I didn't think about but now I'm thinking about emergency

984
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:03,840
all right so in in not controversial and

985
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:09,560
definitely excellent vehicle news Tesla increases their warranty Drive Unit

986
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:12,719
warranty or their the the Drive Unit

987
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,840
warranty on the model S to eight years

988
01:10:12,719 --> 01:10:20,440
and the battery pack there we go yeah wow eight years infinite miles you can

989
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:24,640
drive as much as you want Elon Musk has said it will moderately it will have a

990
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:28,000
mod moderate negative effect on Tesla's earnings in the short shortterm but it's

991
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:30,840
the right thing for Tesla vehicle owners in the early stage of their company and

992
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,800
he's confident that they'll work it out well in the long term because Elon Musk

993
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:39,320
is a massive badass that's pretty much it posted by

994
01:10:37,719 --> 01:10:42,760
Sam cool 55 on the Forum by the way thank you it's going retroactively to

995
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:45,880
people that already own Model S's so if you bought a Model S early on you're

996
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:49,120
getting this warranty despite not having it when you originally bought it I mean

997
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:55,000
eight years like if you think about that my car is a 2003 and three years ago you

998
01:10:53,239 --> 01:10:59,600
could probably make the argument that it had kind of served its purpose to the

999
01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:03,719
original owner and if that original owner wasn't a complete cheap skate they

1000
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:08,120
were probably going to resell it in fact I have only owned that car for about

1001
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:11,280
eight years because I bought it as an end of lease deal from someone who

1002
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:15,640
leased it for a few years and this this can be transferred to infinite amount of

1003
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:21,040
owners either wow so infinite miles infinite owners eight years so assuming

1004
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:24,040
that my car has reached the point after the time that I've owned it that I might

1005
01:11:22,679 --> 01:11:30,120
have to do some maintenance like a battery swap on it is not unfair and not

1006
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:36,679
unreasonable and this is the first time I've really seen a car manufacturer step

1007
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:38,639
up and instead of warrany what is safe

1008
01:11:36,679 --> 01:11:42,760
warrany what is reasonable for a consumer to expect in terms of a vehicle

1009
01:11:40,719 --> 01:11:46,760
lifetime because by eight years it's dinged up it's scratched it's probably

1010
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:51,199
gotten its windshield broken a couple times from random debris on the road

1011
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:54,880
like there's stuff that can reasonably be wrong with it that's nobody's fault

1012
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:58,880
given how much detail and quality they put into to their paint jobs which is

1013
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:02,960
insane they have someone White Glove hand over the entire surface of the car

1014
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:06,760
just to make sure it's perfect every single one like I would hate to get that

1015
01:12:05,639 --> 01:12:11,719
thing scratched but it's probably going to be scratched in the 8ye LIF happen so

1016
01:12:09,199 --> 01:12:15,280
this means you get uh infinite usage of all of Tesla's supercharging stations

1017
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:20,840
which they're constantly putting up more for the for the lifetime of the product

1018
01:12:17,679 --> 01:12:23,199
not eight years um and you get an 8year

1019
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:28,120
warranty on your drive unit and Battery which is like if you look into how

1020
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:35,239
they're made pretty much everything that's cool that's so Beast

1021
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:38,239
awesome I'm excited for their um like

1022
01:12:35,239 --> 01:12:39,280
more consumer friendly cheaper car that

1023
01:12:38,239 --> 01:12:45,159
they're going to come up with who knows if it's going to have all this kind of stuff but knowing them it'll be pretty

1024
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:48,960
awesome so speaking of how difficult it is for me to switch to Windows phone

1025
01:12:47,199 --> 01:12:53,920
this was this was originally posted on the form by Builder and there's an

1026
01:12:51,120 --> 01:13:00,000
article here that I think actually hits on a number

1027
01:12:57,480 --> 01:13:05,320
of truths and I think the the basic point of or like okay the the headline

1028
01:13:02,679 --> 01:13:13,719
that Builder put in is choose Firefox now or later you won't get a choice and

1029
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:17,199
the article really looks at Google's

1030
01:13:13,719 --> 01:13:19,199
dominance in terms of how many people

1031
01:13:17,199 --> 01:13:24,159
that they have won over to their ecosystem and how much power that gives

1032
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:29,679
them over you not being able to switch to something else like I can switch to

1033
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:33,440
iOS because iOS was so dominant and

1034
01:13:29,679 --> 01:13:34,800
Google has supported it up until now and

1035
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:40,040
doesn't look like they're going to stop supporting it anytime soon but a new

1036
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:45,560
platform someone who's trying to break in like Microsoft who's getting no

1037
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:51,840
support from Google the fact that I am so deeply rooted in Google's ecosystem

1038
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:56,080
whether it's drive or hangouts or Gmail I use Gmail for my personal and for my

1039
01:13:53,960 --> 01:14:02,000
business email I see the point if you don't stop using

1040
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:05,239
Google services you may never be able to

1041
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:07,880
stop and you know if they become your

1042
01:14:05,239 --> 01:14:14,040
service provider for everything that you use online and your ISP at some

1043
01:14:11,719 --> 01:14:16,840
terrifying point in the future basically we won't even need to worry

1044
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,480
about the NSA because Google will have all the

1045
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:27,199
information we were ever worried about the NSA having and Google might have

1046
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:31,960
been in the past you know up until now even you know fairly consumer oriented

1047
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:36,080
but that doesn't mean that their leadership's going to exist forever that

1048
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:39,480
doesn't mean that as a company their culture can't change very dramatically I

1049
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,159
mean it already has we've seen it happen it already has changed very dramatically

1050
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:47,360
and these are very young companies that we're entrusting a lot of information to

1051
01:14:45,639 --> 01:14:52,199
it's they're not they're not old companies like you know an nendo where

1052
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:55,360
we can look back a hundred years at what their culture is and how they've evolved

1053
01:14:54,040 --> 01:15:02,679
over time we're looking at companies that have gone from zero to enormous in

1054
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:05,960
a span of you know five or 10 or 20 or

1055
01:15:02,679 --> 01:15:08,440
even two years

1056
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:12,440
sometimes kind of insane that's how fast they change so be prepared for them to

1057
01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:15,600
change that fast so I don't know I just I thought it was a really interesting it

1058
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:20,080
was really interesting food for thought and the original article was from

1059
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:21,600
robert. callahan. org I've already been

1060
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:26,440
trying I've been looking into switching to Photon mail for a while but Photon

1061
01:15:23,639 --> 01:15:31,440
mail is taking a while to really become a thing right so waiting for that and

1062
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:38,159
I've been looking into changing to a lot of things but the problem is whenever Google steps into a market everyone else

1063
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:39,520
is basically forcibly stepped out yep

1064
01:15:38,159 --> 01:15:44,880
because everyone moves to that so there's no real like great calendar app

1065
01:15:42,440 --> 01:15:48,520
anymore yep because everyone just uses Google Calendar it's hard Google

1066
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:51,840
Calendar is not even that great no it's not actually it's kind of annoying I'd

1067
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:54,679
love to have a better calendar so would I I mean here's here's like the now

1068
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:59,360
someone's going to message us with a better calendar which is fantastic please do that um like here's the

1069
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:05,080
simplest thing ever here I'm just going to pull up a blank calendar here on my

1070
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:08,040
screen so like here's an example what if

1071
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:12,960
I wanted to take this event and like drag it past here you have to put it on

1072
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:16,520
that bottom row and then go down that's ridiculous like that's the stupidest

1073
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:21,239
thing ever how did they not how did nobody catch this

1074
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:21,239
ever

1075
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:26,760
anyway I don't know it just kind of horrible so it's kind kind of scary I've

1076
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:31,280
been saying this for quite a while actually but we don't have a better

1077
01:16:28,719 --> 01:16:34,840
option we're just grousing about it and the the problem right now is I I've

1078
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:39,920
brought this up in a few different way shows there's there's such

1079
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:43,520
Mass Fight For Speed in browsers right now where they're just iterating

1080
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:49,320
releases incredibly fast if you look way back Firefox didn't release releases all

1081
01:16:46,159 --> 01:16:50,760
that quickly until kind of Google Chrome

1082
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:56,440
came in and then they both started fighting and they're both releasing as fast they possibly can to try and stay

1083
01:16:53,679 --> 01:17:03,920
on top of I like that ionic meteor says Outlook Master race and I'm 50 years

1084
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:07,679
old yeah um yeah they've been fighting for these

1085
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:12,040
iterative releases which are insane and they just break everything on my

1086
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:17,199
personal computer flash hasn't been working in Firefox for months my

1087
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:23,199
personal computer at home I can't use um like most social media websites on

1088
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:26,840
Firefox and then I can't view YouTube

1089
01:17:23,199 --> 01:17:26,840
videos in Chrome

1090
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,920
what so I have to use two different browsers so I can actually get

1091
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:37,400
functionality across all of them what the hell since when did this happen just

1092
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:42,639
give up it's freaking fast enough fix everything God one of

1093
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:47,560
you Firefox I wish Firefox would just like step back and be like okay you can

1094
01:17:44,719 --> 01:17:51,520
be one billionth of a second faster than us who gives a crap everything's going

1095
01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:55,199
to work on our browser that would be great because waterfox is doing it right

1096
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:59,520
now I'm rooting I'm rooting for Internet Explorer the Rebrand yeah I'm holding

1097
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:02,280
out for that maybe they'll get it together I doubt it though I doubt it

1098
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:07,080
but maybe if I'm going to blindly if I'm

1099
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:10,440
going to have Blind Faith in something I guess that'll be it right now just just

1100
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:17,679
throw to the third team that no one knows about yeah I don't

1101
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:20,719
know um all right ASUS is teasing a new

1102
01:18:17,679 --> 01:18:24,040
smartwatch posted by dri W luk 's Opera

1103
01:18:20,719 --> 01:18:25,840
no it's not better yeah I've tried Opera

1104
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:32,120
is so impossible but of the issue with Opera Google

1105
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:34,560
services it like YouTube is just

1106
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:39,560
broken like and I'm not talking viewing YouTube videos I mean the content

1107
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:41,280
creator tools yeah cannot use yeah all

1108
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:46,199
right I have Opa on my computer I do use it so basically time has been

1109
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:49,239
transformed and we have changed is a quote that they're using and they are

1110
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:56,719
going to apparently give us some more details on September the 3D

1111
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,719
hooray so there we go

1112
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:02,800
apparently it'll be priced somewhere between $1 and $150 I guess that's all we really have

1113
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:07,320
to say about that why don't we blast our way through some more of these like quickfire topics all right you just pick

1114
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:11,639
ones that are interesting to you and I'll pick ones that are interesting to Facebook is offering bounties for bugs

1115
01:19:10,199 --> 01:19:15,600
found an Oculus Rift this is not the first time we've seen this on like a

1116
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:19,400
hardware model but it's interesting how Oculus Rift which is a company that will

1117
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:24,199
be releasing and Publishing games and their and their Rift device and possibly

1118
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:28,159
other things in the future is offering a bounty

1119
01:19:25,639 --> 01:19:32,320
um for finding bugs with a minimum reward of

1120
01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:35,360
$500 when we see Early Access being such

1121
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:37,440
a big pathetic useless piece of crap and

1122
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:41,440
then we see companies like Oculus throwing bounties at people I just found

1123
01:19:39,199 --> 01:19:46,960
that to be a weird contrast yay Facebook accusation yay actually pretty much all

1124
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:53,400
right I've got I've got one here there's an app uh called Shoot what's it called

1125
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:56,239
again called ignore no more oh yeah that

1126
01:19:53,400 --> 01:20:01,560
allows a parent or guardian or someone else to stop their kids from ignoring

1127
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:05,600
their calls so you know you want to get your kids some caller ID you kind of go

1128
01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:09,880
yeah sure you can know when I'm calling but if you don't pick up my calls then I

1129
01:20:08,239 --> 01:20:13,400
will remotely lock your phone so you can't use it so if you're not going to

1130
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:18,280
talk to me then you're not going to talk to anyone um and we actually had a lot

1131
01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:22,320
of people on the lineus tech tips Forum get really upset about this and kind of

1132
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:28,760
go invasion of privacy this that or the other no it's not if part of the deal is

1133
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:31,040
is look Junior who's 13 years old or 12

1134
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:35,120
years old and probably you know in my generation would have been considered

1135
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:41,880
too young to have their own phone like look Junior you want a phone sure that's

1136
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:44,480
fine but I expect it part of the part of

1137
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:48,719
the verbal contract here is you have a phone so we can get in touch with each

1138
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:52,360
other yeah if you are ignoring that part of the verbal contract then you don't

1139
01:20:50,440 --> 01:20:55,159
deserve to use your phone right now that's it so what they have to do is

1140
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:59,360
they have to call their parents back to get an unlock

1141
01:20:57,199 --> 01:21:03,920
code I think one of my parents might call me

1142
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:07,560
out on this but as far as I can remember I paid for my cell phone for the entire

1143
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:13,360
duration of having a cell phone okay my parents paid for mine because the deal

1144
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:19,080
was that I got a car and a cell phone and I have four siblings so the deal was

1145
01:21:16,239 --> 01:21:21,880
I had to be available to drive people oh that makes sense and I had to be

1146
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:25,400
accessible yeah and I got a car and a phone out of it so I was like yeah deal

1147
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:29,639
I was a nerd and all my friends over came over to my house cuz we had all the

1148
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:34,239
coolest like right stuff to play with in terms of like video games or whatever so

1149
01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:38,040
I didn't really need one yeah I lived in the middle of nowhere like I it was it

1150
01:21:36,239 --> 01:21:42,920
was a 10-minute drive to the closest convenience store like we had horses and

1151
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:47,639
stuff so for for me it made a lot of sense because my parents actually

1152
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:52,239
probably made out like bandits in the amount of time that they saved you know

1153
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:56,560
me driving to town which is 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back every time

1154
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:59,000
someone else needed to miss the school bus or whatever else then that's worth

1155
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:04,159
it for you because you have a car and a phone which because I have a car and phone dog actually the only Reon I

1156
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:07,199
didn't even want a phone the only reason why I got one was cuz the girlfriend I

1157
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:10,719
had at the time was like dude what the hell get a phone I know you don't want a

1158
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:14,120
phone because whenever you lose or break your phone it's impossible to get in

1159
01:22:12,440 --> 01:22:21,639
touch with you for like two weeks while you drag ass about replacing

1160
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:23,719
it oh man anyway I mean they're so

1161
01:22:21,639 --> 01:22:27,040
expensive I mean I think that people were upset about about this because they

1162
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:31,480
saw it as something that like parents would stealthily install on their kids

1163
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:35,800
phones but that's not it at all because it tells the kid yo dog your phone's

1164
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:42,280
locked call your mom to un lock K you like have to know that it's on your phone this is part of the deal

1165
01:22:39,480 --> 01:22:45,520
yeah okay so next one jump to the user modifies their Windows load screen thing

1166
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,560
sure cuz that's awesome really you're taking that one I wanted to do that one

1167
01:22:47,239 --> 01:22:55,199
well okay you no no you can have it hitchhiking robot makes its way across Canada oh yeah that's pretty cool too

1168
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:57,320
boom uh I'll search for hitch there we

1169
01:22:55,199 --> 01:23:03,400
go there you go the hitchbot so apparently by Cy Warrior Cordy Warrior

1170
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:06,000
wanted to be a huge jerk and name the

1171
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:13,400
topic for this robot tricks gullible Canadians yeah I didn't even load up his

1172
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:15,159
post because he's a huge butt um but

1173
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:19,400
anyways almost everyone that took this robot along with them knew it was coming

1174
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:25,040
before they even got it and not like a nice huge butt like booty we're talking

1175
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:32,639
like sagging and like hasn't been cleaned dived yeah with

1176
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:35,360
like you know gross yeah the kind the

1177
01:23:32,639 --> 01:23:38,600
kind of butt hair anyway sorry carry on um yeah so almost everyone that picked

1178
01:23:37,440 --> 01:23:43,000
it up knew it was coming beforehand because it' been blasted in the news um

1179
01:23:41,239 --> 01:23:48,320
and the idea was it came all the way from Halifax Nova Scotia to uh Victoria

1180
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:54,560
BC by hitchhiking so that's the little Hitch King robot and someone has to pick

1181
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:56,000
it up and then take it along with them

1182
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:59,960
and it made it all the way which is kind of amazing especially with reading

1183
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:04,639
through the comments of our super high class totally up upstart citizens on our

1184
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:09,880
forum who basically all said that they would just steal it and take it home um

1185
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:16,159
but yeah so there's a hitchhiking robot someone finds it this is obviously

1186
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:20,840
obviously a promotional video y oh look

1187
01:24:16,159 --> 01:24:20,840
I pick it up and I put it in my

1188
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:27,920
car and apparently it could like talk to you on some very basic level and stuff

1189
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:32,520
and it could tweet out and it could do some other stuff too that's cool so all

1190
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:36,199
it got was like scratched it got scratched and it's it's uh LCD

1191
01:24:34,440 --> 01:24:39,199
protective thing got had like a small crack in it and stuff but it made it all

1192
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:43,960
the way which is actually kind of fantastic again especially considering

1193
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:49,880
the massively amazing citizens of the LT forum who all said they would steal it

1194
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:55,679
uh so this is cool I I love this video this is awesome yeah this is like super

1195
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,679
super badass

1196
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:14,360
oh there was no sound I heard it did you

1197
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:19,080
yeah no I mean uh I don't think on the stream there is sound oh it's not going

1198
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,080
through the

1199
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:26,600
cable there we go so it actually has the

1200
01:25:24,119 --> 01:25:30,800
uh it has the intro music as well and he has guides on there on how to do it if

1201
01:25:28,199 --> 01:25:33,760
you want to figure it out and uh what was I going to say he said apparently

1202
01:25:32,199 --> 01:25:38,440
his fans aren't actually that loud because a lot of people gred him on that it's just cuz he had to crank the volume

1203
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:41,440
a lot so you could probably hear it so that is so cool I think it's actually

1204
01:25:40,159 --> 01:25:47,119
pretty sick all right you got maybe one more I've got one more that I want to do

1205
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:51,080
um the the Minecraft hard drive thing is that what you're doing uh no I wasn't

1206
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:55,000
even going to do that we have so much stuff this week I told you right no I

1207
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:58,679
wasn't even going to do that one Okay Google's planning to introduce accounts

1208
01:25:56,719 --> 01:26:02,320
for children under 13 posted by by Victorious secret it's going to allow

1209
01:26:00,719 --> 01:26:07,320
parents to dictate some of the terms of how that Google account will work I think this is really important because

1210
01:26:05,199 --> 01:26:11,000
as it is kids under 13 are using Google accounts and they're just not being

1211
01:26:09,239 --> 01:26:15,360
regulated correctly okay not being regulated at all which is kind of

1212
01:26:12,679 --> 01:26:21,199
redonkulous in Minecraft someone made a I think single kilobyte hard drive y one

1213
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:24,480
kilobyte which is actually kind of awesome it's interesting to see this

1214
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:30,000
kind of stuff I've seen in my opinion slightly more interesting things um on

1215
01:26:27,199 --> 01:26:34,000
the incredibly ridiculous side of things but he's got to the incredibly

1216
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:38,280
ridiculous side of things at all which is super cool so it's pretty cool to

1217
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:41,239
show and he shows like miniature versions of it so you can actually

1218
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:46,679
understand how the whole thing works which is awesome because a lot of these really big projects don't have that so

1219
01:26:44,639 --> 01:26:50,480
he basically shows you the fundamentals of what you need to know so that you can

1220
01:26:48,159 --> 01:26:55,560
build your own which is again super awesome yeah it can store one kilobyte

1221
01:26:52,719 --> 01:27:01,800
of information yep very cool pretty cool I like um my next thing that I wanted to

1222
01:26:58,239 --> 01:27:05,679
hit was China the no actually I wanted

1223
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:08,760
to do EA is not sending reviewers copies

1224
01:27:05,679 --> 01:27:11,480
of Sims 4 so this was posted by Mind

1225
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:16,960
Tricks On The Forum and uh the original Source here that we have is kit guru.net

1226
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:21,679
that is uh and okay so they're not sending out

1227
01:27:19,440 --> 01:27:28,560
review copies also no if I remember correctly toddlers no toddler stage no

1228
01:27:24,679 --> 01:27:30,840
pools no pools um it looks like I mean

1229
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:35,000
we have this conversation every time there's a new Sims where it's like yeah

1230
01:27:33,119 --> 01:27:38,840
they downgraded a bunch of crap because all those expansions that you went and

1231
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:42,000
bought you're going to have to Reby them because the base game doesn't include

1232
01:27:40,480 --> 01:27:48,920
the expansions of the previous games how can it not include pools or like

1233
01:27:45,440 --> 01:27:50,760
developmental phases of the Sims like

1234
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:54,840
they're right in the title of the game yeah like those are two pretty

1235
01:27:52,840 --> 01:28:00,440
fundamental things guys what are you doing oh my

1236
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:02,000
God yeah ultimately it's more complexity

1237
01:28:00,440 --> 01:28:06,280
in terms of what texts there and what isn't there oh yeah and what we have to

1238
01:28:04,159 --> 01:28:09,800
build to support this how do we cut down into the terrain how do we get Sims

1239
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:12,960
going through portals across different levels of pools there's so much more

1240
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:19,480
going on in the background that you don't end up seeing just to have a SIM go swimming but it's like well you did

1241
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:25,960
it before and like and it's been done since like a really long time ago like

1242
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:29,159
come on it's not that hard we're losing some of the open world aspects so

1243
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:36,320
there's going to be actually loading as you go between zones

1244
01:28:32,199 --> 01:28:38,199
um oh God yeah I don't know how they

1245
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:41,159
cons like it must be a really hard job to figure out how to make your product

1246
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:45,440
consistently worse no it can't be that hard it's got

1247
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:49,560
to be hard because how do you how do you pick pools buildings can now have a

1248
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:56,480
maximum of only two levels

1249
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:58,080
like so I don't know on the one hand I

1250
01:28:56,480 --> 01:29:02,679
think one super I don't think this is what they had in mind but I think one

1251
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:07,880
super cool positive effect of them not giving reviewers early copies of Sims 4

1252
01:29:05,639 --> 01:29:13,000
is that that really opens up the door for the average consumer to create a

1253
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:17,480
review that can actually generate a fair bit of traffic because we know that when

1254
01:29:15,639 --> 01:29:22,320
we release a video about a piece of hardware and we're 2 months late it'll

1255
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:25,960
get x amount of exposure even at our level even with all the subscribers we

1256
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:30,560
have and all that the tweets that we can send out and all that stuff and if we

1257
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:35,800
release it at release date when everyone else hits it we'll get x times something

1258
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:40,679
and if we release it early then we'll get x times something much bigger that's

1259
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:45,840
how it works and that's why there are embargos and ndas and release dates so

1260
01:29:43,159 --> 01:29:50,600
that no one gets an advantage but by no one they mean no one who's a

1261
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:54,560
wellestablished media Outlet whereas having just an on shelf date where

1262
01:29:53,199 --> 01:29:59,840
everyone goes to the store and buys a copy of the game I think lets Grassroots

1263
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:04,239
reviewers have an opportunity to be like the one to break the story and

1264
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:10,440
especially in gaming like we're pretty big we can't get interviews with

1265
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:15,560
anyone because we're not established in gaming y it's impossible us for us to

1266
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:19,960
properly get proper interviews with any big triaa

1267
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:23,360
developers we can't get interviews with blizzard we can't get interviews with

1268
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:28,080
Ubie we can't get interviews with 2K we can't get interviews with I mean on the

1269
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:30,400
hardware side someone like Oculus you

1270
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:35,080
interviewed Palmer like on the hardware side we're good we actually have that

1271
01:30:32,159 --> 01:30:41,080
street cred but and and I mean so and we even have the street cred for gaming

1272
01:30:38,199 --> 01:30:45,400
Hardware like it's not that tenuous a link yeah whereas if you are completely

1273
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:50,040
a nobody walking around on the show floor at PA you don't stand a chance

1274
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:54,520
whereas if everyone kind of stopped giving out pre-release copies and with

1275
01:30:52,719 --> 01:30:57,480
to I don't know I think it could be it

1276
01:30:55,719 --> 01:31:01,080
could be interesting to to interject here for a second the Palmer interview

1277
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:05,840
we only got because I ambushed him in the booth that wasn't preset we still

1278
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:10,280
don't have a proper media contact there that will actually answer anything and

1279
01:31:08,239 --> 01:31:15,119
in the Palmer interview he said that he did really in fact like Linux because he

1280
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:19,360
thought we were Linux Tech tips that that was the cut that didn't

1281
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:25,360
end up getting in because there was no audio recording cuz Brandon

1282
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:27,360
rushed so maybe not is cool but they're

1283
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:32,119
like they're more actually a gaming company yes and they are everyone

1284
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:35,280
everyone ever wants to interview them right so if you contact their press

1285
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:38,880
email there's pretty much no chance you're going to get a reply right it's

1286
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:42,320
basically a Dumping Ground I know that for a fact you have to have one of their

1287
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:48,360
individual emails and then I'll publicly broadcast so like we

1288
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:51,520
yeah yeah I have it on good faith that he actually liked that interview but we

1289
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:55,719
still have no way to properly contact him because he told us as he was leaving

1290
01:31:53,239 --> 01:32:01,360
that we should talk to his press guy we went to go talk to his press guy and he

1291
01:31:58,679 --> 01:32:04,679
was like yeah I know message the media contact we're like yeah that's not going

1292
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:11,600
to work is it he was like I'm like okay whatever fine all

1293
01:32:09,239 --> 01:32:16,000
right well I guess we suck and we're not important so here we

1294
01:32:13,440 --> 01:32:20,360
go we're important to some people yeah we're important to someone I just wish

1295
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:24,639
you guys actually I feel pretty important right now we have over 6,100

1296
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:30,840
people watching right now you guys are amazing I know right tested always gets

1297
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:30,840
the cool Oculus interviews I'm so

1298
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:37,719
jelly so is that pretty much it do we have anything else we could do that

1299
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:41,040
horrible stupid thing that the Chinese Theaters are testing yeah let's end with

1300
01:32:39,480 --> 01:32:45,119
that yeah let's end with that well this is ridiculous hilarious I mean maybe

1301
01:32:43,440 --> 01:32:52,600
maybe something is getting Lost in Translation here but like China you guys

1302
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:54,800
you guys serious bro so check this out

1303
01:32:52,600 --> 01:33:01,159
Cinemas in major cities in China have started testing the bullet screen which

1304
01:32:57,440 --> 01:33:03,440
allows the audience to text comments

1305
01:33:01,159 --> 01:33:08,199
about the film that will be shown on screen they are filtered and people have

1306
01:33:06,119 --> 01:33:12,800
to pay to submit them I think it's like 10 cents or something like thaty of 10

1307
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:19,159
cents equivalent of 10 cents sensitive or forbidden words like swearing or

1308
01:33:16,119 --> 01:33:22,320
democracy um are probably are probably

1309
01:33:19,159 --> 01:33:25,360
going to get filtered there but

1310
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:28,000
um yeah and it has to be approved to be

1311
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:33,880
a bullet screen film by the writer and their contract with the producer so I

1312
01:33:30,239 --> 01:33:35,639
can't think of any thing that anyone

1313
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:39,760
sitting in a theater with me could contribute to my viewing experience by

1314
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:45,920
putting it in front of my face while I'm trying to watch a movie that is

1315
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:51,600
ridiculous okay I can see having something like chat with

1316
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:55,239
other people in the theater like like like a twitch chat style thing that's

1317
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:59,840
what I thought it was when I first heard about this on your seat or like on on

1318
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:03,520
like okay okay so say for example they have a Wi-Fi hot spot inside each

1319
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:07,440
theater so people can tune in on their phones and chat with each other you know

1320
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:11,119
some people get really bothered by the glowing screen in the dark theater thing

1321
01:34:09,239 --> 01:34:13,800
I personally give exactly zero craps about that I'm not going to turn my

1322
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:18,040
phone on because other people find it rude but if if that was the route you

1323
01:34:16,119 --> 01:34:21,679
wanted to go with this that's a lot less intrusive than putting someone's

1324
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:26,679
freaking text message on the screen while I'm trying

1325
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:30,080
to watch the movie so if you like logged in if there was an app or something and

1326
01:34:28,639 --> 01:34:35,920
it was like let's discuss the movie while we're watching that way it's very optional people don't have to look at it

1327
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:40,440
that's this is ridiculous this is just stupid this is the worst possible

1328
01:34:37,719 --> 01:34:43,880
implementation I can think of I had like a semi emergency Thing Once where I

1329
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:49,480
needed to be in texting contact with someone and I was in a movie theater um

1330
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:53,840
so like you'd think just leave but it was very intermittent messages and it

1331
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:57,560
wasn't like I was there was no point where I knew if I was going to get another one that I need to reply to and

1332
01:34:56,080 --> 01:35:02,000
stuff hold on people are like but twitch chat is [ __ ] I'm like this is

1333
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:05,159
exactly why it shouldn't be across the front of our video right now yeah so if

1334
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:10,080
someone wants to talk it they should be a go but it should be optional exactly

1335
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:13,760
what I did was I put my sweater on backwards and put the hood up and then

1336
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:17,840
use my phone under it so there was no light emission at all nice I was like

1337
01:35:15,679 --> 01:35:22,040
problem solved yeah I guess that's about it we

1338
01:35:20,639 --> 01:35:26,440
can after show to talk about anything else if we want to uh yeah I promised to

1339
01:35:24,679 --> 01:35:33,639
do a garage sale this week but I don't feel like it I've barely slept I have a

1340
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:41,320
newborn you know what maybe what I'll do is I should start just like listing them

1341
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:44,600
at night and we can like just say hey

1342
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:47,080
there's garage sale items and then like

1343
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:51,440
hey there's a price drop on like your Afterparty stream or something like that

1344
01:35:49,159 --> 01:35:54,239
sure or something I don't know or like maybe what we could do is we could do

1345
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:58,760
like a really s after the maybe I'll prep this next

1346
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:02,960
week and I'll just be like here's all the items that are going to be available

1347
01:36:00,480 --> 01:36:07,199

oh yeah speaking of derp there was one

1357
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:12,880
other big news thing this week it's like Reddit and a bunch of other awesome hold

1358
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:17,280
on let me find it where's derp imer twitch farc and stack exchange research

1359
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:21,360
partnership I think Reddit was also involved at least I thought so the point

1360
01:37:19,719 --> 01:37:25,760
is it's called derp and it stands for digital ecology research partnership

1361
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:30,159
can't believe they called it derp Reddit IM TW oh yeah I said Reddit see this is

1362
01:37:28,440 --> 01:37:35,239
why I can't do an Afterparty or a garage sale right now clearly not capable
