WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:11.639
know this it's once in a lifetime opportunity that we would actually be

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

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:19.080
pretty good they should all be congratulating us at this point and no

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.560
technical okay no we did have some technical difficulties we had more than

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

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.320
drivers for that one and then um the

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:37.680
computer was just like every a couple seconds like yeah our stream computer

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.360
was being super not cool it's like bro

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

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:48.640
just walk and trip

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:53.440
sometimes being not good not good not cool um and then I thought there was no

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:59.120
audio but it turns out I stepped on the cord so his headphones just weren't

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.960
plugged in yes winner fortunately that

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
to have in the next half an hour let me just uh listen to your uh oh

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:16.320
his heart's racing fun fun fun fun

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.520
terrible all right so we got a bunch of great topics today digital distribution

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:26.960
reigned Supreme in the PC market so in other words nothing has changed ever

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:32.360
also valve is the most desirable employer in the gaming industry because

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:37.560
nothing has has changed ever various ddr4 pricing news will be coming later

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.840

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Blu-ray perfect

week online is Tech tips PX Prime coverage brought to you by hyperx memory

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:51.280
and other products they actually make lots of stuff like USB drives and like

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:55.480
even they even have a headset they even have a headset they do

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

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:06.519
we were in Taiwan individual ones of us have missed W shows have

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:11.159
W oh was that W show or was that live

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:12.879
stream oh W show since we started W show

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

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.959
okay one of us has managed to drag ourselves in here come hell or high

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.319
water or vacation or vacation stachatory holidays

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:32.480
babies or babies I mean most stachatory we both

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

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.920
we'd ever have to miss one just have like a hospital stream people are asking

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

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

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:55.799
got uh elected or whatever by did you just get challenged by Timmy by Timmy I

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

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

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

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

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.919
your brain hurt valve is the number one

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.520
most desirable employer in the gaming

00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:26.400
industry they surveyed 2,200 companies and people even ranked

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:31.440
uh working for valve above having their own

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:33.400
company oh man that's kind of well to be

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

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:40.919
own company always gets rated extremely highly does it usually yeah in almost

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

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.800
this was posted on the Forum by lots of in unexplainable I think you're looking

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.240
for the word inexplicable unexplainable

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:59.720
I think technically that is grammatically correct I think so okay

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:03.080
well lots of unexplainable lag any anyway thank you for posting it on the

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.560
Forum however much your username has confused me sorry carry on um yeah I

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.280
think like in in a wide set of Industries having your own companies

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

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:20.440
company right yeah right so that's a

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:26.120
thing so as someone who has run their own company there are

00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:28.479
benefits however it's not like I have a

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:34.919
hard time selling people on coming to work for me because I think that they

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.440
understand that it's not all just

00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:42.240
benefits like like my both my parents have ran their own companies I did for a

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

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

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

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:56.360
worst things about it because you set because to to be very successful you

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

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

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

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:15.759
turns into is you end up working usually double hours for like almost every week

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

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

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:31.960
completely unplugged for the birth of my new baby girl um if you have that then

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:37.400
that's great but most self-employed people work really long and really hard

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

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

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

00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:51.960
things where you can have a very small business like I've crunched the numbers

00:06:50.599 --> 00:06:56.560
I've I've been honest with you guys about this I've crunched the numbers

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:02.319
what kind of money could I make as a YouTuber with my kind of following just

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.879
like like me and a chess tripod pumping

00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:11.520
out videos that are completely unedited you know what I could pay myself a lot

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:12.720
more like multiples more but that's not

00:07:11.520 --> 00:07:17.199
really the point because if you're trying to build a sustainable business

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

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:27.000
the business and actually help to grow it if you get really good people so

00:07:24.840 --> 00:07:30.960
that's the thing that every business owner has to struggle with and you look

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:35.440
at you look at any industry so let's look at the gaming industry like an

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

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:45.479
myself from scratch or do I pay crazy

00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:47.599
money to build this team that then I'm

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:51.560
banking on being able to pay back and then you have all that stress and then

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

00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:00.000
though there are definitely benefits and I know Indie devs that have gone both

00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.400
ways so I don't know

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.400
I do know that as well

00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.360
actually all righty then now to be clear

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:13.720
valve internal structure is not universally praised I mean I don't think

00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:20.000
anyone complains about the snack room but like no no no I think our snack room

00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:25.280
isn't exactly amazing I actually have an upgrade to our snack room coming yes

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

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:34.479
no of course oh man of course it was mine when I was

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

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

00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:46.200
had this like old school pot machine that you had to put money into mhm but

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

00:08:47.959 --> 00:08:53.839
to happen I know great idea though I like the way you think now the gumball

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:56.880
machine that we got from super fun is broken to the point where to get

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

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

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:12.640
machine okay now to be clear guys not everything is perfect there they don't

00:09:07.959 --> 00:09:16.160
have like a hierarchical hierarchy yeah

00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:17.640
um but there's there's like the I don't

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:21.839
know what they exactly call it but there's like obviously Gabe is kind of

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:25.519
leading things and he has his his like right hand leftand kind of group of

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

00:09:27.959 --> 00:09:34.200
cleancut extreme structure but it's also not completely flat so it's been

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:38.839
criticized as being a little bit like high school because there will tend to

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:43.040
be people staking out their own claims and clicks and and stuff like that

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.120
although I mean there's some great stuff you know you there are no shareholders

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

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:55.560
fact that you can take as much vacation time as you want which sounds kind of

00:09:53.880 --> 00:10:00.519
like being self-employed because that's just another way of saying you know we

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:04.399
have this loose culture where you can work however hard you want but like

00:10:03.160 --> 00:10:09.440
other people are going to be working hard so you can just get fired it's

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

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:16.560
down to like if you have some super crazy awesome trip you can be like oh

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

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

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:28.880
and the high school thing I think anytime you ever even try to have any

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:31.880
amount of a flat structure you're going to run with this many employees you're

00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:36.440
going to run into that type of a situation I think anytime you try to add

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:39.480
more than a half a dozen employees to a company never mind the structure you're

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:43.959
going to end up with high school or daycare or both like have you ever

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

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.639
school it doesn't even matter how old the people are that worked there it's

00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:54.839
just an extension of high school Best Buy was my best example for that I used

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

00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:03.880
think I started working in Geek Squad and and yeah the whole store is just an

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:09.720
extension of high school it's redonkulous um so yeah again nothing has

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.320
really changed here Val has always been that like everyone wants to go work

00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:19.440
there because it's awesome company and they're not EA woo

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

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

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:31.480
you guys want to hear from you what is your workplace like

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

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.920
that while we do our next topic here what do you

00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:43.680
think spam spam spam I don't think we're

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

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:52.120
think it's how you define the High School Lake thing okay we're kind of

00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:56.560
High School Lake and that we're very casual yeah but we all get along which

00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:00.360
is not I think the connotation of high school like is the clicks and the

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:04.360
fighting and the the clicks and the pettiness I don't think we're very Petty

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

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:11.800
School label though yeah there's like

00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:15.880
the the Friday after work when everyone kind of like groups up in the main room

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

00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:24.399
that that bottom one which no one is voting for yeah mature cohesive and

00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:29.440
teamwork focused yeah dog all right what's our next topic uh pretty much

00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:32.880
some of the same whereas nothing things ever changed which is digital

00:12:31.199 --> 00:12:38.120
distribution finally Reigns the PC market I think we've all kind of known

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

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:47.600
as 2010 there was only 48% of the game purchases were made digitally isn't that

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:52.920
amazing that's half in 2010 apparently it is now 92% as of

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

00:12:55.800 --> 00:13:01.440
be a crazy amazing mathematician to figure out that these are really big

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:05.720
numbers so you look at okay you look at a studio you look at someone like

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:08.279
Microsoft or did I say micos sorry

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

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

00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:23.440
okay well 133% or whatever it was we talked about this last week are 17% I

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

00:13:25.959 --> 00:13:31.639
their overall business was PC gaming

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

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

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:45.040
go okay well Ubisoft makes up whatever slice of the overall gaming industry

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:51.240
that there is and wow holy crap are we ever talking about

00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:57.120
a lot of hundreds of millions of dollars that has shifted to digital and

00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:58.240
so kind of a really big deal um one one

00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:04.759
thing that I have to say about this though time yeah yeah is that they're

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:10.880
saying as like as recently as 2010 only 48 only 48% of the PC game purchases

00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:15.440
were made digitally that only is kind of hilarious but yeah I know right uh even

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

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:23.160
games physically y like there was there's been a lot of stuff where there

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

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:32.480
since before 2010 and now it's n impossible for a lot of different games

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

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

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

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

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.199
and shopped yeah in that time it's gone

00:14:53.839 --> 00:15:03.040
from it actually PC gaming made up a significant chunk of the store to PC

00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:06.399
gaming is like one side of one unit and

00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:07.720
it's like it might not even be so

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

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:20.399
copies of like Starcraft too Cod and blizzard yeah or they'll have like like

00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:23.160
whatever some staple type games and then

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

00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:30.160
understand where they're not stocking it if it's not selling so yeah but then

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

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

00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:43.759
it's not like EB Games is specifically trying not to or GameStop or whatever is

00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:47.000
trying not to stock these things I think they might not even have an option which

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:50.319
is kind of frustrating yeah it's not like something like uh you know a Humble

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:53.480
Bundle is realistically going to have a physical exactly or a lot of Indie Games

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:59.519
in general which are becoming a really big thing recently or stuff like league

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

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:07.160
towards stuff like league and in-game micro style transactions which are

00:16:05.319 --> 00:16:12.440
getting calculated into this percentage number even though they're not actually

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:13.880
a like a discr sale yeah you bought this

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

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

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:29.240
of people that do prefer the digital distribution style but I think people

00:16:26.319 --> 00:16:34.839
like me who want physical copies I'm raising my donger too you just can't

00:16:32.199 --> 00:16:40.639
tell you can tell that I rose mine

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.240
um awesome uh so I I think people like

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:47.480
me that actually want physical games were kind of forced out of being able to

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:50.120
buy them but you guys are basically dumb

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:54.199
so yeah I mean there are legitimate reasons to need physical games slow

00:16:51.959 --> 00:16:57.360
internet connections you know guys in Australia not that they can buy games at

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

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

00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:11.360
internet connection so it was actually a lot faster to just drive to the freaking

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

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

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:25.000
download this how big was the patch for

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:27.240
um 50 sorry 50 gigs you're talking about

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.559
Cod yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no there was another one that we installed

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

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.880
Battlefield 4 there was like a day one or day two

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:41.320
patch I remember can't remember might have Battlefield 4 yeah it's ridiculous

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

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

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

00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:00.840
last week anyway uh we have other ddr4 but it might be on a test bench

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

00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:12.280
anything about having a motherboard and a ddr4 compatible CPU course just

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:16.120
sitting on the test bench mind you if you were to you know type anything about

00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:19.320
ddr4 into Google well whatever I'm reading all the same rumors you guys are

00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:25.039
reading right of course so anyway Australian site PC case gear and UK site

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:29.679
scan. co.uk both release pre-order prices on some Corsair ddr4 products

00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:36.480
including their new vengeance series as well as Dominator Platinum so we are

00:18:32.679 --> 00:18:40.360
looking at pricing that is double digits

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:43.320
percentages more expensive than

00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:48.440
DDR3 however and this was originally posted on the Forum by blueprint um

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

00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:59.080
originally posted by Luca and it's from overclock

00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:02.799
3D G skill they're rip Jaws for 3,000

00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:05.280
mahz ddr4 kit which may or may not be on

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

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:14.440
still because there's obviously nothing to put in it is actually going to be

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:18.600
priced pretty similarly to a 3,000 MHz

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:21.280
DDR3 kit to which I kind of go okay well

00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:26.520
that's cool because at least those hyper overclock DDR3 kits that hardcore

00:19:24.280 --> 00:19:32.880
enthusiasts who want lots of cores on their CPU for example uh might have been

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:35.000
inclined to go towards anyway at least

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:39.919
those will be fairly similar although I could also make a lot of arguments for

00:19:36.760 --> 00:19:41.480
us not really needing 3,000 MHz DDR3

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

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:53.760
is priced at 360 Great Britain pounds whereas 8 gig kits of DDR3 at that speed

00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:57.240
are 320 Great Britain pounds so there

00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:58.919
you go um I I don't think that really

00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:03.720
applies to a ton of people but it is interesting to see that maybe there

00:20:00.520 --> 00:20:05.720
isn't the most massive price hike ever

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:09.520
and to people looking at it going okay yeah they run it the same frequency but

00:20:07.280 --> 00:20:15.480
the ddr4 kit is going to have looser timings something that a little bird

00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:19.760
told me is that primary timings might

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.400
not be as much of a concern with ddr4

00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:26.320
and we might be looking at a situation where actually playing around with

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:31.400
secondary timings called so because they're not the they're not the main

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:36.559
five timings of a DDR memory module but rather they're more about inter inter

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:42.240
dim communication and that kind of stuff those secondary timings May or sorry did

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:47.280
I say inter intra um those secondary timings may actually end up being very

00:20:45.159 --> 00:20:51.360
very important and something that the maker won't really be able to advertise

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:56.720
in the traditional sense so we're either going to see memory manufacturer shift

00:20:53.159 --> 00:20:59.120
towards giving us a much deeper set of

00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:04.520
timings when they spec out their RAM or people might just end up being pretty

00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:06.240
confused for a bit here so there you go

00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:10.799
it's going to be pretty interesting although that is still no matter how

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:14.520
much you want to say like oh yeah well this kid compared to this ridiculous kid

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

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:26.200
that bandwagon much further in the future did you okay have you been an

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:30.039
early adopter to any memory Tech no I

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:35.880
waited for DDR3 I waited for ddr2 cuz

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:39.799
the first DDR3 platform was what LGA

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:41.960
1366 no the first DDR3 platform was 775

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

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:51.960
actually that we haven't seen a single socket have multiple memory platform

00:21:49.679 --> 00:21:56.799
compatibility because it's always been this early stages very expensive time

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

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:03.039
anyway because it performs the same and it's on a chip that was really designed

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:08.640
for the previous technology yeah cuz I had dominators on 775 which were ddr2

00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:10.400
yeah cuz moving from ddr1 to ddr2 um

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.840
when AMD was really the Enthusiast platform of choice we did get new SKS

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:18.440
and we did get a new socket but we didn't actually get a microarchitecture

00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:23.640
update right so it was the same performance you could just pay more for

00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:26.480
memory or not pay more for memory and

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:30.919
that that series of processors was very dependent on latency so DDR one

00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:35.760
performed really well in the real world aside from you know just running memory

00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:40.720
band with Ben the ddr1 to ddr2 change was the most hilarious yeah and then

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:43.400
ddr2 to DDR3 no I think ddr2 to DDR3 was

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:50.799
pretty stupid because basically that was the p45 days when pretty much Gigabyte

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:55.360
or ASUS or whoever would have like the motherboard for ddr2 and then the

00:22:53.240 --> 00:23:02.960
motherboard for DDR 3 this one would be like $100 more not faster less stable

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:05.080
because early DDR3 was bad I saw more

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:10.559
people blindly adopting ddr2 than I saw people blindly adopting DDR3 well they

00:23:06.840 --> 00:23:13.559
probably got burned when ddr2 was bad

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:16.760
probably I mean DDR ddr2 that was that

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:19.200
was the N4 680i days like that was when

00:23:16.760 --> 00:23:24.000
the problem was the chipset was bad like the Enthusiast chipset of choice was

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:27.919
terrible and the memory was just not

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:31.440
validated properly like I remember ocz

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:34.440
SL sticks of memory putting them into

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:36.799
680i boards they were only supposed to

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:41.080
work in one board and they wouldn't work I used to

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

00:23:43.159 --> 00:23:50.080
stuff it's like go away speaking of

00:23:46.159 --> 00:23:53.200
which uh both ocz and using existing

00:23:50.080 --> 00:23:56.320
branding to uh try to sell completely

00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:58.880
unrelated products great segue thank you

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

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:07.159
brainless 9906 on the Forum and AMD is

00:24:04.360 --> 00:24:12.200
planning to uh well not planning to they're planning to sell I guess they

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:13.960
have already released their AMD ssds so

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:19.120
they're calling these the r7240 or something like that I remember

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:25.399
it being funny because when my review sample arrived the box was labeled r7240

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:28.679
and then the description was video card because a lot of these companies when

00:24:26.760 --> 00:24:31.799
they fill out their invoices they just have a standard one that they put kind

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

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:42.200
they send me an r7240 uh but actually it was an R S Series SSD

00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:44.919
so it's based on the ocz Barefoot 3

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:51.720
controller it's got some tashiba 19 nanometer class nand on it um there are

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:54.200
a few reviews out basically it's um it's

00:24:51.720 --> 00:25:00.039
an SSD it's not terribly expensive it does come with a 4year warranty it's

00:24:57.360 --> 00:25:04.600
more expensive than 84 Evo it is a little bit

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:07.000
faster um it comes with a cloning

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

00:25:08.159 --> 00:25:16.559
and go if you were really determined to build like an AMD outed

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:18.200
system then you could buy this and it

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

00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:26.760
just it's it's boring yeah it's another

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:32.360
commodity SSD at this point I feel like we don't really need another SSD player

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

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.840
another SSD player because nothing on this is actually manufactured or

00:25:37.919 --> 00:25:44.679
designed by AMD I understand why they might want to get into the market that

00:25:42.760 --> 00:25:48.720
way I mean that's how ocz did it they went from rebranding indel links and

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:53.320
sandforce controllers to designing their own IP and their own controller by

00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:57.640
acquiring indel links mind you but but they still did it um and you look at

00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:02.080
even companies like Intel where sometimes they design their own controller sometimes they just write a

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:05.360
firmware but they're always using their own flash you look at guys like SanDisk

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:09.159
where they use their own flash they actually Fab flash so even though

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

00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:22.720
contributing nothing that they've actually designed or manufactured and um the pricing is fine

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

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:31.520
fully integrated where they're taking the margin on the flash manufacturing

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:35.360
they're taking the margin on the controller manufacturing they're taking

00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:38.720
any margin that would exist in terms of a software license and they're taking

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:42.679
the margin on the finished drive that they put in a box and deliver to the

00:26:40.679 --> 00:26:46.320
customer so at every level they're taking their margin so how was AMD

00:26:44.919 --> 00:26:50.880
supposed to compete with that yeah I don't know I just I was

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:55.559
fairly underwhelmed because they had all that all that hype build for this well

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

00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:02.320
live stream scheduled this week weekend although it's at 700 a.m. my time so

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

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

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

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:19.840
trying to trying to God we have to like play into the

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:25.320
rumors that are out there okay what's what are the rumors there was a tweet

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:27.080
for let me see if I can find it oh jeez

00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:34.039
I thought you were going to like break our NDA oh man okay Chris Roberts

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

00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:43.919
watch because stars is in news oh okay so I was like oh

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

00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:50.840
is getting we already know that okay sure

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

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.320
actually getting mantled I think it's been moderately up in the air I don't

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

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

00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:11.480
point although with AMD releasing

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:12.880
everything to the openg Kronos group I

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.760
don't know how much sense mantle will make by that time Star Citizen actually

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:21.919
comes out anyway by the time star s actually comes

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:25.600
out the the year

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:27.559
2070 all right so uh other AMD news that

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:33.720
is actually much more exciting hosted by Tech fnatic who is our resident AMD news

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:35.640
poster is that Richard H AMD's gaming

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

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

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:49.240
pretty quickly we might have so free sync is going to be looking at a very

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:53.519
minimal cost for monitor manufacturers could be between $10 and $20 in total

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:59.760
cost although something to understand guys is that $10 to $20 of cost the

00:28:56.679 --> 00:29:01.080
general rule is by the time the end user

00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:05.440
actually holds that product it's going to be about double that so you have to

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:11.279
understand that their retailer is going to want their margin the manufacturer is

00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:15.960
going to want their margin um the you know MDF program that they have with

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

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

00:29:22.919 --> 00:29:28.320
with it so all those things we're looking at about double of a bomb cost

00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:31.840
typically so there you go so it'll add anywhere

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

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:41.760
know you're excited about star in from Robert Space Industries you'll want to

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:45.360
tune in to Ash amd3 live tomorrow Billy

00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:47.360
link oh okay cool so I just yeah I don't

00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:50.279
know so anyway the exciting thing about it is that we could be looking at

00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:55.399
freesync monitors that are sampling next month and could arrive to consumers in

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:58.159
early 2015 which compared to g-sync

00:29:55.399 --> 00:30:02.039
which is here now um is kind of unfortunate but is not as long as I

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

00:30:05.320 --> 00:30:11.559
longer as opposed to you know another nine months to a year then you're in

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:14.600
luck especially with um how kind of slowly graphic technolog is coming out

00:30:13.399 --> 00:30:19.640
so if you're pretty good right now you're probably pretty good for a while

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

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:31.159
excited about those yeah so this was posted by notional on the Forum and LG

00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:33.440
is unveiling three new monitors a couple

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:37.720
of which uh well one of which gets me really excited one of which gets his

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:43.640
panties pretty wet and the other one of which is almost there yeah for both of

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

00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:51.279
like sure so that monitor that I love

00:30:48.600 --> 00:30:56.000
ever so much the 9534 I can't even remember the model

00:30:53.360 --> 00:30:59.960
number because I 3495 is what I think it is

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:05.799
they are going to be releasing what looks like pretty much a curved version

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:09.559
of that now curved displays we've actually done the fast as possible on

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

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

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:28.080
curved TV for your living room because unless you are a forever alone and you

00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:29.840
only watch TV by yourself always the

00:31:28.080 --> 00:31:34.440
problem is that a curved TV is going to deliver a slightly better viewing

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:38.799
experience for someone in the sweet spot but an actually worse one for anyone

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

00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:47.440
however once a display gets large enough that multiple people can fit in the

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:52.120
sweet spot so to speak cram them in there um it starts to make sense now

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:56.480
with a monitor a you don't have to worry about multiple viewers very often so

00:31:54.440 --> 00:32:01.600
that threshold for when a display is big enough is going to be more easily

00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:05.320
achievable and for number two this is

00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:06.799
big enough 34 in sometimes I feel

00:32:05.320 --> 00:32:12.240
sitting in front of my monitor at work like a slight curvature would be really

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:14.840
nice so it's 3440 by 1440 I think it's 6

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:18.519
milliseconds of uh response time so pretty much the same as the other one

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:22.240
nothing special with respect to what they're claiming about input leg or

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

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

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.799
exciting from a productivity standpoint and for gamers who are more interested

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:42.360
in the immersion I personally in spite of our recent surround gaming build

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:45.080
guide I personally find a larger wider

00:32:42.360 --> 00:32:49.200
screen without bezels more immersive than bezels and you'll notice I said

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:54.080
very carefully in that video if you're into this then this is the ultimate

00:32:51.679 --> 00:32:58.159
setup but for me personally I'd rather have a single screen I've also never

00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:01.480
really been into that like multi mon surround gaming thing it makes sense

00:33:00.120 --> 00:33:04.639
I've seen it in some situations especially for flight Sims yeah or

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:08.399
driving like simulators where those well those

00:33:06.840 --> 00:33:11.519
Windows aren't it's not even necessarily a curve those are dedicated to Windows

00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:15.760
in the vehicle yeah and if you're supposed to be in a cockpit anyway

00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:19.639
what's another you know support structure or whatever for the glass

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

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:28.519
Nei so the next one is a 31 mu 997 31 in

00:33:25.840 --> 00:33:31.399
true 4k monitor the only thing that should clarify what

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

00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:41.760
in it's 496 by 2160 which I believe is

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.760
like 19

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

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

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

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

00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:08.079
in I know you have experience with really really large monitors but I'm not

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:11.760
necessarily sure if I'm ready to jump that high considering I use 24in

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

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:20.159
middle of my setup and then setting my two current 24-in monitors into vertical

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

00:34:22.399 --> 00:34:28.399
way that aspect ratio is apparently 256 to

00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:32.440
135 and that's rounded to the nearest hold number or

00:34:30.879 --> 00:34:37.159
something so

00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:40.359
yeah I don't know if that's right anyway the point

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:44.079
is width and height yeah I think I answered it right what were we saying

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:48.879
right so size of monitor when I originally went 30in and I used a 30-in

00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:53.839
monitor for a few years um a Samsung 2560

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:56.960
x600 um I I liked it a lot there was an

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:59.240
adjustment period moving to it and like

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

00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:05.920
you know what I've since gone down to 27

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:11.920
in 16x9 and I never miss my 30 in I never

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

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

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

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

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

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:42.839
to be for a single monitor setup and honestly if I was running multi monitor

00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:43.960
I would prefer 24 yeah so that that's

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

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.160
and then possibly the two verticals on the side you know what I really want to

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:54.200
do as a project because yeah I mean okay with

00:35:52.319 --> 00:36:00.160
both of us the big issue with multim monitor is the bezels but there are a

00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:02.480
lot of monitors where you can strip them

00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:06.560
down and you can take all the plastic stuff away and end up with very very

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:10.160
thin bezels because the bezel is effectively there to protect it a lot of

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

00:36:14.040 --> 00:36:21.839
do like a project build where we strip down three monitors use our ergotech

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:23.440
stand and see if that helps it's not a

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

00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:33.640
exactly though because I think I still think first person kind of style is

00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:38.359
still going to be messed up and I still think that kind of cockpit driving style

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

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

00:36:44.640 --> 00:36:50.680
side of the screen where things are on a really weird angle they're stretched and

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

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

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

00:36:59.720 --> 00:37:06.800
like I'm turning my head this way as opposed to looking like you know the

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:09.800
scene is made of silly putty when you yeah yeah exactly if there was better

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:14.480
support I think it would be really cool but it just like super

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

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

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:25.560
utilize all these little custom tools and then there's the last monitor which

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

00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:34.640
with Dynamic action sync which drastically reduces input leg apparently

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:41.480
so they're saying less than 1 Mond response time includes a black stabilizer and motion

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:43.760
240 but does not seem to include

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:50.119
adaptive syn or gsync I am at a point now where I don't

00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:55.200
know how I would feel about investing in an expensive gaming monitor that doesn't

00:37:52.920 --> 00:38:03.160
have g-sync we actually have a review upcoming of Ben's XL 2410 something to

00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:04.680
our 2411 something and we'll have to

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

00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:13.880
I've done is I've handed Luke our gsync

00:38:11.319 --> 00:38:19.720
uh engineering sample ASUS monitor and the Ben q and the analysis is going to

00:38:16.520 --> 00:38:23.520
be look if gsync costs another hundred

00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:25.319
bucks is it worth it to invest in a high

00:38:23.520 --> 00:38:28.119
refresh rate monitor that doesn't have gsync at this point and I think that's

00:38:26.640 --> 00:38:34.000
really going to be the angle yeah I haven't gotten that ASUS one from

00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:35.839
you yet yeah I gave it to you it's on

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:39.800
your desk in there you complained about the power adapter oh yeah I was using it

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:44.560
for something else I didn't realize that was like to take and go compare things

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

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

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

00:38:59.359 --> 00:39:05.480
how to make a harness to hook it up to the ASUS 32

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

00:39:07.839 --> 00:39:13.200
Project and 4king GS syncing that monitor that would be really cool yeah

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

00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:25.960
stop stealing every monitor we ever get yeah the r Swift home so fast godone

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:30.680
never saw it again I never actually saw it running

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

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:38.599
desk actually using it I took the PA off

00:39:36.680 --> 00:39:42.000
especially stuff like monitors it's hard to get a proper first impression when

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

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

00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:55.160
the right context to have a proper experience often that demo is running

00:39:53.240 --> 00:39:59.160
because it's like repeatable or easy to maintain instead of being the best thing

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

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

00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:09.720
they're running a PC instead of an

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

00:40:12.720 --> 00:40:18.000
rant uh oh man you know what why don't

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

00:40:21.520 --> 00:40:27.359
okay I don't I don't oh anyway okay

00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:30.599
let's let's do that first so big thanks to

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

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:40.160
place to go and learn a new skill you can pick up some digital photography

00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:45.680
tricks you can pick up some video editing tricks you can pick up you know

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

00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:53.800
the way that their lessons are structured they're coming from experts

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

00:40:56.640 --> 00:41:03.520
want to pick up some real programming skills for example you use linda.com as

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

00:41:06.200 --> 00:41:11.760
diploma or whatever else you know because yay online diplomas are probably

00:41:10.200 --> 00:41:15.520
worth something no it's more about the knowledge that you're actually gaining

00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.720
because there are at least two people here at lus Media Group who on a

00:41:17.319 --> 00:41:24.480
day-to-day basis use their linda.com knowledge that they learn by being

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:26.720
subscribed so linda.com wow for a free

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

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

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

00:41:39.040 --> 00:41:46.040
mean even some online courses it's like you attend the seminar at that time

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

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

00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.960
Care yeah when you're to when you're

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

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

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

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

00:42:11.040 --> 00:42:16.720
around to different motherboard manufacturers checking out something specific

00:42:18.240 --> 00:42:23.240
um no more information hopefully that's

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

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

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

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:37.920
releasing a bulk of it as actually Hardware stuff a lot of the hardware

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

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

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

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:54.960
checking out gaming stuff um I'm trying to get in contact with blizzard but it

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

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:05.000
hey hello we're a thing than you um

00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:08.680
we'll probably have an indie Mega Booth Roundup video that's been seeming to

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

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:17.640
saw well walking through the Indie Mega booth and I'll be down there for

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

00:43:19.319 --> 00:43:26.119
into me come say hi hopefully not when I'm in the middle of filming something

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:30.400
thank you hang out and so we wanted to give a big thanks to

00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:33.680
hyperx for actually enabling us to be there so I'm just going to screen show

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

00:43:35.839 --> 00:43:43.640
kind of draw attention to their hyperx YouTube channel and I was like yeah okay

00:43:41.319 --> 00:43:48.280
we can do that and you know because a lot of the time manufacturer YouTube

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.839
channels are really not that great but

00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:52.440
they've actually got some pretty interesting stuff going on here right

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

00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:02.240
is my kind of ultimate uh haven't checked their social creeper thing and

00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:07.280
check this out they've gained 20,000 subscribers in the last 30 days they

00:44:04.359 --> 00:44:11.760
have 42,000 subscribers total they are growing Crazy Fast right now actually

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

00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:19.440
really interesting to people like where are these uh they had some interviews

00:44:17.520 --> 00:44:26.200
that are like a quarter million views like check this out uh where did it go

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

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

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

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:43.119
cool and I was like oh these guys are actually doing YouTube kind of right

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

00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:49.559
our ads on our YouTube and they have some ads on their YouTube channel too to

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

00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:59.079
because when we went to go check out their head offices for E3 I got that

00:44:56.520 --> 00:45:02.480
vibe from their hyperx tour thing that we got to go through checking out like

00:45:00.359 --> 00:45:05.599
their gaming room and stuff it was like okay yeah they're actually kind of

00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:10.079
focused on making something awesome so guys um yeah so thanks to hyperx for

00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:14.800
being our gold sponsor for PA Prime this year and guys check out their YouTube

00:45:11.640 --> 00:45:16.680
channel if you want to have gaming

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:22.880
content and learn about new memory and USB drives and stuff like that all those

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:24.520
good things all right so time for uh I

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:28.599
kind of want to start like a rant segment for Linus Tech tips cuz there's

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

00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:38.480
more like a a square peg round hole type thing as opposed to something that's

00:45:36.200 --> 00:45:44.160
just uniformly terrible we don't call it a ranch segment but like Beats by 50

00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:51.280
that was pretty rany streets by 50 my bad um so yeah you guys probably

00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:51.280
recognize my daily driver phone the HTC1

00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:57.640
M8 whoa Windows Phone wow I didn't know

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

00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:06.800
Verizon exclusive right now although I saw a rumor that Sprint's going to be

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

00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:15.559
had to program my APN manually and then I had to contact HTC directly because

00:46:13.520 --> 00:46:20.359
Verizon customer support wouldn't do it for me um in order to get internet

00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:24.480
tethering enabled on the phone I'm like look I got my phone working everything's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:46:54.160 --> 00:46:59.760
you know the the reason that you're having a bad experience with the device

00:46:57.680 --> 00:47:04.880
is because you know you're getting these headaches because it's not a Verizon uh

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

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

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:15.559
don't live there turn the feature on and

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

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

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

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:33.240
pretty much exactly the same Hardware as the 1 I made Android edition there are

00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:36.960
some changes the radio is slightly different so it supports fewer

00:47:34.640 --> 00:47:39.599
frequencies which because it's a Verizon exclusive device I guess that makes

00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:43.640
sense maybe they were able to cost it down fraction of a couple of pennies or

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

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

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

00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:00.599
resolved um I just I know I know some

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

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

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

00:48:13.319 --> 00:48:18.440
to it but I'm running into a lot of

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

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

00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:36.760
feel like Windows Phone The Experience scales for an Enthusiast I feel like for

00:48:32.520 --> 00:48:39.079
basic functionality text messages email

00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:43.359
phone navigation Once you pull the crappy Verizon Navigator off and put on

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

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

00:48:51.040 --> 00:48:58.520
there's just how and it's it's just it's

00:48:55.319 --> 00:49:01.480
little stuff like okay um there's no

00:48:58.520 --> 00:49:09.319
Hangouts client like really I use Hangouts every day that

00:49:05.359 --> 00:49:11.119
sucks it's like super crappy so you have

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

00:49:14.040 --> 00:49:21.400
going to be accustomed to even if you've done the Android iOS switch before like

00:49:18.799 --> 00:49:25.400
I actually switched to iOS recently I've been using my iPhone 5s for a couple

00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:29.040
weeks now just because I'm getting ready for the iPhone 6 to drw

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:33.240
and I want to be somewhat familiar with the platform so I'm not just figuring

00:49:31.240 --> 00:49:37.440
out iOS again when the time comes to review that device and going from

00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:42.480
Android to iOS these days is pretty seamless dropping on to Windows phone

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:47.319
man there's nothing like the Instagram clients of beta like Gmail has no like

00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:52.079
and we're talking Google services so obviously there's not a whole lot there

00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:54.920
like but Gmail has no native Native

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

00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:03.240
going to have just that stuff that feels very Stone Age like notifications that

00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:07.040
are sitting on your phone for emails that you already checked on a PC because

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

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

00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:19.599
actual video where actually throughout my time using it I'm going to be

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

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

00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:33.760
spectacular like one of the things that I hate about it is the keyboard and I

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

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

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

00:50:43.640 --> 00:50:48.359
send attachment oh voice a lot of space

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

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

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

00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:06.839
it turns out that the only things that come up for swift key are outright scams

00:51:03.839 --> 00:51:09.960
one of them has seven onestar reviews

00:51:06.839 --> 00:51:13.119
going back to about three weeks ago

00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:16.839
saying this is a scam it's a $1 link to

00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:20.640
the SwiftKey website oh yeah like just

00:51:16.839 --> 00:51:23.359
bad like it's not even a terrible

00:51:20.640 --> 00:51:27.200
keyboard like wallpaper that looks like a keyboard like they didn't even do

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

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

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

00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:44.640
phone edition is effectively HTC has done their best here

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

00:51:46.720 --> 00:51:51.359
they've actually got blink feed as a live tile so you can still use blink

00:51:50.200 --> 00:51:56.680
feed if you're into that which I've actually started using more lately oh it

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

00:51:59.359 --> 00:52:08.040
on a platform that just doesn't feel Enthusiast friendly like at all you know

00:52:05.359 --> 00:52:12.240
and the whole lifetile concept it's very beautiful and you know going like this

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

00:52:14.680 --> 00:52:21.599
change visually which if you look at you know someone like McDonald's how often

00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:26.079
do they change their logo why do they not change that recognizability is good

00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:30.960
when people are trying to find things so to me live tiles changing what they look

00:52:28.839 --> 00:52:34.480
like is not necessarily a very positive thing and you might go okay well lus

00:52:32.839 --> 00:52:40.520
just memorize where they all are to which I would say yeah that's fine too

00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:42.640
except that unlike Android and iOS you

00:52:40.520 --> 00:52:48.880
don't have discrete pages and you can't create

00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:51.079
subfolders so you actually once you

00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:55.280
start scrolling for remembering where everything is on the page goes out the

00:52:52.720 --> 00:53:02.440
window you can't muscle memory you know scroll down you know 38 of a decimeter

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

00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:12.040
unit of measurement just no one uses it I know

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

00:53:14.160 --> 00:53:21.160
I changed it to decimeter mid sentence anyway because no one uses fractions of

00:53:19.520 --> 00:53:26.799
metric measurements either so it was just a completely broken thing to say

00:53:23.160 --> 00:53:28.440
anyway the point is that um it's once

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

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

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

00:53:42.680 --> 00:53:47.760
a year ago on a on an HTC 8X I think it

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

00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:54.400
to segue into our next topic okay I just

00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:58.760
I'm trying to make sure that you have anything left to still make a video

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

00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:06.839
stuff that's more trolling than anything troll

00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:09.920
yourself all right talk about this this

00:54:06.839 --> 00:54:11.760
is for Windows phone and like Windows 8

00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:18.079
where there's the Microsoft store and this headline written by J Master here

00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:20.160
is pretty sensationalist Microsoft

00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:24.240
willingly allowing malicious apps in the Windows store to obtain a cut of the

00:54:21.839 --> 00:54:27.000
profits that is some tinfoil hat stuff there the to obtain a cut of the profits

00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:31.920
thing is maybe a little bit sensationalist but um willingly allowing

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:35.359
is not sensationalist yes that's actually a thing I know they have

00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:38.839
allowed the apps to I mean okay okay okay and they have to be manually

00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:43.319
approved you talk you talk so the store is the stores are crammed with fake

00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:46.640
versions of popular paid apps like lonus was just talking about you can you can

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

00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:56.760
descriptions on some of them will be like helps the user to know how to

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

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

00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:10.480
believe the iTunes one is $9 they provide you a $9 link ridiculous

00:55:09.040 --> 00:55:15.760
that should never be manually approved by an employee that is insane um

00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:20.040
Microsoft does claim that in their store everything is manually improve approved

00:55:17.799 --> 00:55:24.000
by an employee so that whole willingly willingly knowing that they're having

00:55:21.680 --> 00:55:28.039
scam apps has to be true or they're lying about that someone knows but I

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:34.880
don't think that the people creating the policy for the approval of apps is they

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

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

00:55:40.640 --> 00:55:46.839
comes up with a whole bunch of paid versions that are just links to download

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

00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:54.240
$9 for a link to iTunes iTunes is extremely common they must have ran into

00:55:52.760 --> 00:56:00.839
this at some point in time there has to be someone reporting it up the chain

00:55:57.200 --> 00:56:02.760
being like hey and $9 link and there

00:56:00.839 --> 00:56:07.160
really needs to be an after Thea review system for ones like the one I mentioned

00:56:04.839 --> 00:56:12.359
where it had seven onear reviews going back several weeks anything that's got

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

00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:20.799
red flags I mean the app creator didn't

00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:28.640
even bother to create a Spam account to give it a festar rating it has literally

00:56:24.520 --> 00:56:30.680
nothing to get past filter of any sort

00:56:28.640 --> 00:56:34.359
nothing no attempt made so there must just not be one where where he's coming

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

00:56:36.799 --> 00:56:43.760
know how how necessarily real that is

00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:45.200
what the um but they see they're giving

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

00:56:48.520 --> 00:56:56.520
they paid developers $100 for each completed app so if you're trying to get

00:56:52.839 --> 00:56:58.960
those $100 things if you put a link in

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

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

00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:10.359
want pretty much free $2,000 just make a

00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:14.280
bunch of apps that link to other apps and you're done that's kind of

00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:18.720
fantastically horrible and you know what it it it aligns with their seeming

00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:23.839
desperation to deliver search results when people search in the store like I

00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:27.359
search for TW TT and instead of bringing

00:57:23.839 --> 00:57:29.599
up things like carbon it brought up

00:57:27.359 --> 00:57:33.880
official Twitter and then it brought up like Facebook and Instagram which I'm

00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:37.880
like okay those are at least within the same category and then as you continue

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

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:46.039
just like you know it's not about delivering more results it's about

00:57:44.319 --> 00:57:49.799
delivering the most relevant result and it really feels like they aren't there

00:57:47.799 --> 00:57:52.839
yet and speaking of that in April 2014 they announced that they have over

00:57:50.839 --> 00:57:57.599
400,000 apps combined between the Windows phone and Windows uh just normal

00:57:54.920 --> 00:58:00.480
Windows store um but that includes all the scams so they have some amount of

00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:04.240
incentive not to take them down because they can keep that in their number of

00:58:02.160 --> 00:58:08.520
apps that they have and if they act all of these scam apps that would greatly

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:13.039
reduce their total amount of apps that they can claim that they have also

00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:17.079
Microsoft takes a cut of every sale of every app sale so this is where people

00:58:14.520 --> 00:58:22.119
are thinking that hat they want to keep them around but honestly looking at the

00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:24.520
like tiny little miniature microscopic

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

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

00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:35.440
that at some level so so I think something's going wrong I don't think

00:58:34.359 --> 00:58:39.720
it's because of the money especially because they were giving out1 $100 per

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

00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:48.680
money gaining opportunity if I was going to create a program like that I'd

00:58:45.839 --> 00:58:54.119
probably have a bigger payout for like people to create one app cuz

00:58:52.240 --> 00:58:57.559
How could an individual developer create 20 quality apps within a reasonable

00:58:55.839 --> 00:59:02.039
period of time that's just stupid and like maybe have a bigger payout and be

00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:07.280
like yeah you get the money the really big payout when you have a certain ratio

00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:10.359
of stars or something like say you have to have three star minimum or something

00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:13.680
like that it has to be useful but then like pay attention to the star ratings

00:59:12.520 --> 00:59:20.160
and make sure that they're not just all scam which is very common lately yeah

00:59:17.200 --> 00:59:26.559
all right so happy topic yeah so speaking of wanting people to like you

00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:29.079
Disney is rumored to be working on an

00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:34.880
unaltered release of the Star Wars Trilogy the original trilogy not the one

00:59:30.799 --> 00:59:37.440
no one cares about on Blu-Ray now as

00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:41.559
someone who has seen the Blu-ray enhanced

00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:47.599
versions wow they look a lot better than the original releases man like they did

00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:49.760
some serious work to clean that stuff up

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

00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:57.599
hope you can easily spot the Stormtroopers with gaffet tape on yeah

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

01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:08.039
seen the Blu-ray version I've seen the original releases the problem is that I

01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:11.319
cannot take a New Hope seriously if greo

01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:14.000
shoots first and it seems like a stupid

01:00:11.319 --> 01:00:19.200
Petty thing but I went back and watched the original release on like VHS

01:00:16.680 --> 01:00:24.839
cassettes pretty recently it was actually kind of awesome um and the way

01:00:22.359 --> 01:00:31.359
it's cut together the way the music flows the way everything

01:00:27.520 --> 01:00:34.000
happens Han is a badass and shot the

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

01:00:37.359 --> 01:00:43.799
tips the bartender like a couple bucks for leaving a dead body in the you're

01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:48.319
not going to convince me that he's some kind of white freaking Knight at this

01:00:45.640 --> 01:00:51.559
point come on he's clearly this doesn't even phase him at all blowing someone

01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:59.720
away in a bar does not even register on his radar

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

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

01:01:06.359 --> 01:01:12.440
being worked on they should scramble their ass and get this released because

01:01:10.640 --> 01:01:17.039
they're getting all good publicity right now if Disney was looking to gain the

01:01:14.720 --> 01:01:21.440
favor of the hardcore fans like you think about the hardcore Star Wars fans

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

01:01:24.680 --> 01:01:32.920
times they're going to be going into Disney's first crack at this with a

01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:36.760
negative vibe as opposed to going in excited you know ready to be blown away

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

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

01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:50.400
different aura that walks into that

01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:53.839
theater for the first screening so yep so they really really should do this

01:01:52.240 --> 01:01:58.119
even if it is just a rumor all these rumors are coming from comicbook.com so

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

01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:06.880
taking longer than expected due to damage to the negatives but I I'd be

01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:08.440
super stoked if this happened yeah all

01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:13.079
right so speaking of things I'd be super stoked if they happened Google's

01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:16.400
driverless cars can keep up with the

01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:19.240
flow of traffic this this has been very

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

01:02:20.839 --> 01:02:26.720
the titles for a lot of these things in my opinion have been pretty

01:02:24.359 --> 01:02:30.760
sensationalist because to exceed the speed limit they're not designed to

01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:35.000
purposefully just be like ha we're going too quickly but they have a threshold

01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:39.400
where they're take that Coppa yeah they have a threshold where they are allowed

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

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

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

01:02:50.359 --> 01:02:55.520
because they're keeping up with the flow of traffic because it has been proven

01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:59.079
time and time again that not keeping up with the flow traffic can be very

01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:05.119
dangerous yeah like proven not speculated not by like Reddit but proven

01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:10.279
that it's dangerous to go too slow speculated by Reddit yeah no no no

01:03:06.680 --> 01:03:12.480
proven by like actual science yeah so

01:03:10.279 --> 01:03:15.440
they're they're not designed to just go out and exceed speed limits because

01:03:14.200 --> 01:03:19.760
they're they're wanting to get there quickly um they're designed to keep up

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

01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:31.000
reasonable amount then it's okay but they're not like keep up with traffic is

01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:34.279
if traffic is going 200 mil hour because

01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:36.440
yeah so another interesting thing along

01:03:34.279 --> 01:03:40.799
the uh also related to Google's driverless cars from this week is that

01:03:38.520 --> 01:03:45.200
the state of California is telling Google they don't want them on the road

01:03:42.680 --> 01:03:50.920
unless they have a steering wheel and pedals so that the driver can take

01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:52.240
immediate control if needed um and this

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

01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:59.680
of the safety of driverless cars is

01:03:57.680 --> 01:04:04.640
going to be taking human error out of the

01:04:01.640 --> 01:04:06.240
equation so for now Google is

01:04:04.640 --> 01:04:11.960
retrofitting the ones that they've already made is my understanding uh but

01:04:09.680 --> 01:04:18.400
the ones like the actual official Google car was not supposed to have a steering

01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:20.240
wheel and pedals so this could uh yeah

01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:26.000
this this debate could rage for a while in the UK they are looking to allow

01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:27.960
Google's cars starting in 2015 so once

01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:32.260
again someone else is more Progressive than the United States where the

01:04:29.240 --> 01:04:34.680
Innovation is actually

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

01:04:38.680 --> 01:04:46.000
funny um I mean what makes the United States a

01:04:42.839 --> 01:04:50.039
Powerhouse research and Technology it's

01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:51.720
like no we don't want it here I I I find

01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:56.920
the the United States almost more than any other region though is very scared

01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:59.680
of uh having things go out of people's

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

01:05:01.720 --> 01:05:08.839
probably don't help but this actually reminds me of a fantastic I think it was

01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:10.799
a two-part episode of Doctor Who where

01:05:08.839 --> 01:05:15.160
some bad guy I don't remember exactly the context I think it's another time

01:05:13.000 --> 01:05:18.720
lord or something or can't remember some bad aliens or something so the basically

01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:24.359
the plot of every Doctor Who episode ever uh they were they were using a car

01:05:22.160 --> 01:05:27.799
manufacturer to that was it was like better emissions or something was like a

01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:31.240
thing that you could install in your car and then they just had them like drive

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

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

01:05:39.720 --> 01:05:46.079
and realize that you don't live in that world and look at something that has

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

01:05:48.319 --> 01:05:56.160
logged travel on these cars and the only accidents have been like caused by

01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:58.760
another driver yeah not them um

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

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

01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:12.960
what people are scared of obviously is like technical failure but then and

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

01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:22.720
me look actually this is a perfect example if Google told me hey we've come

01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:25.160
up with an automated way to look at your

01:06:22.720 --> 01:06:30.720
video so you just upload it and then we'll create the perfect title thumbnail

01:06:27.359 --> 01:06:33.200
and description for you i' be like no

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

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

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

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

01:06:46.240 --> 01:06:52.480
just go edit it later it's not as consequential as driverless cars but I

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

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

01:07:00.359 --> 01:07:07.240
if the odds of you crashing were much higher

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

01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:15.079
probably logged less than 700,000 miles

01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:22.920
of driving in my life let me just think oh yeah definitely less probably about a

01:07:17.200 --> 01:07:25.720
half to 2third of that but I have been

01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:31.079
in at least two or three at fall accidents in that time so on the other

01:07:28.720 --> 01:07:35.440
hand in the last 5 or six years I haven't been in

01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:37.720
any so you know do you look at this and

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

01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:46.119
experience and we're going to be talking about you know previous generation

01:07:44.319 --> 01:07:50.160
people who are not used to this new fangle technology would you trust your

01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:54.039
kids to it like that's that's something like would I trust myself to drive

01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:57.839
around in a self-driving car actually probably I would probably ride around

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

01:08:00.319 --> 01:08:07.960
the sort of you know Utopia amazing future types things that I imagine is

01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:11.680
that every household will only need one vehicle because it can just go where

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

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

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

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

01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:32.279
so cool but would I really just let a

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

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

01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:41.880
where there's the the car should obviously actually have cameras all over

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

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

01:08:49.719 --> 01:08:55.920
virtual presence devices are weird me out a

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

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

01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:08.440
that thing where you can you can attend a a conference or convention through

01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:12.279
that wheel iPad right what if that becomes way more intense what if you're

01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:16.440
controlling an Android what if you could literally carry your sign out of the car

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

01:09:20.120 --> 01:09:26.000
meant like I meant more like if the car

01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:31.159
crashes if the car crashes oh man I don't even know the car crashes and

01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:33.759
there's this like metal like heavyduty

01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:39.040
emergency Droid sitting in the car and you can just be like take over pick up

01:09:36.120 --> 01:09:45.279
carry out call 911 on its built-in Android software I don't know

01:09:42.279 --> 01:09:46.679
man I was even I wasn't even thinking

01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:51.560
about not being there in the invent of an emergency I was just thinking about

01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:54.159
how impersonal the whole thing is

01:09:51.560 --> 01:10:00.880
right that I didn't think about but now I'm thinking about emergency

01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:03.840
all right so in in not controversial and

01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:09.560
definitely excellent vehicle news Tesla increases their warranty Drive Unit

01:10:06.400 --> 01:10:12.719
warranty or their the the Drive Unit

01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:14.840
warranty on the model S to eight years

01:10:12.719 --> 01:10:20.440
and the battery pack there we go yeah wow eight years infinite miles you can

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

01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:28.000
mod moderate negative effect on Tesla's earnings in the short shortterm but it's

01:10:26.280 --> 01:10:30.840
the right thing for Tesla vehicle owners in the early stage of their company and

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

01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:39.320
is a massive badass that's pretty much it posted by

01:10:37.719 --> 01:10:42.760
Sam cool 55 on the Forum by the way thank you it's going retroactively to

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

01:10:44.280 --> 01:10:49.120
getting this warranty despite not having it when you originally bought it I mean

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

01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:59.600
could probably make the argument that it had kind of served its purpose to the

01:10:57.440 --> 01:11:03.719
original owner and if that original owner wasn't a complete cheap skate they

01:11:01.440 --> 01:11:08.120
were probably going to resell it in fact I have only owned that car for about

01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:11.280
eight years because I bought it as an end of lease deal from someone who

01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:15.640
leased it for a few years and this this can be transferred to infinite amount of

01:11:13.080 --> 01:11:21.040
owners either wow so infinite miles infinite owners eight years so assuming

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

01:11:22.679 --> 01:11:30.120
have to do some maintenance like a battery swap on it is not unfair and not

01:11:28.040 --> 01:11:36.679
unreasonable and this is the first time I've really seen a car manufacturer step

01:11:32.360 --> 01:11:38.639
up and instead of warrany what is safe

01:11:36.679 --> 01:11:42.760
warrany what is reasonable for a consumer to expect in terms of a vehicle

01:11:40.719 --> 01:11:46.760
lifetime because by eight years it's dinged up it's scratched it's probably

01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:51.199
gotten its windshield broken a couple times from random debris on the road

01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:54.880
like there's stuff that can reasonably be wrong with it that's nobody's fault

01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:58.880
given how much detail and quality they put into to their paint jobs which is

01:11:57.080 --> 01:12:02.960
insane they have someone White Glove hand over the entire surface of the car

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

01:12:05.639 --> 01:12:11.719
thing scratched but it's probably going to be scratched in the 8ye LIF happen so

01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:15.280
this means you get uh infinite usage of all of Tesla's supercharging stations

01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:20.840
which they're constantly putting up more for the for the lifetime of the product

01:12:17.679 --> 01:12:23.199
not eight years um and you get an 8year

01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:28.120
warranty on your drive unit and Battery which is like if you look into how

01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:35.239
they're made pretty much everything that's cool that's so Beast

01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:38.239
awesome I'm excited for their um like

01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:39.280
more consumer friendly cheaper car that

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

01:12:42.400 --> 01:12:48.960
awesome so speaking of how difficult it is for me to switch to Windows phone

01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:53.920
this was this was originally posted on the form by Builder and there's an

01:12:51.120 --> 01:13:00.000
article here that I think actually hits on a number

01:12:57.480 --> 01:13:05.320
of truths and I think the the basic point of or like okay the the headline

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

01:13:08.480 --> 01:13:17.199
the article really looks at Google's

01:13:13.719 --> 01:13:19.199
dominance in terms of how many people

01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:24.159
that they have won over to their ecosystem and how much power that gives

01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:29.679
them over you not being able to switch to something else like I can switch to

01:13:26.400 --> 01:13:33.440
iOS because iOS was so dominant and

01:13:29.679 --> 01:13:34.800
Google has supported it up until now and

01:13:33.440 --> 01:13:40.040
doesn't look like they're going to stop supporting it anytime soon but a new

01:13:37.360 --> 01:13:45.560
platform someone who's trying to break in like Microsoft who's getting no

01:13:43.280 --> 01:13:51.840
support from Google the fact that I am so deeply rooted in Google's ecosystem

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

01:13:53.960 --> 01:14:02.000
business email I see the point if you don't stop using

01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:05.239
Google services you may never be able to

01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:07.880
stop and you know if they become your

01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:14.040
service provider for everything that you use online and your ISP at some

01:14:11.719 --> 01:14:16.840
terrifying point in the future basically we won't even need to worry

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:21.480
about the NSA because Google will have all the

01:14:19.960 --> 01:14:27.199
information we were ever worried about the NSA having and Google might have

01:14:24.480 --> 01:14:31.960
been in the past you know up until now even you know fairly consumer oriented

01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:36.080
but that doesn't mean that their leadership's going to exist forever that

01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:39.480
doesn't mean that as a company their culture can't change very dramatically I

01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:43.159
mean it already has we've seen it happen it already has changed very dramatically

01:14:41.040 --> 01:14:47.360
and these are very young companies that we're entrusting a lot of information to

01:14:45.639 --> 01:14:52.199
it's they're not they're not old companies like you know an nendo where

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

01:14:54.040 --> 01:15:02.679
over time we're looking at companies that have gone from zero to enormous in

01:14:58.280 --> 01:15:05.960
a span of you know five or 10 or 20 or

01:15:02.679 --> 01:15:08.440
even two years

01:15:05.960 --> 01:15:12.440
sometimes kind of insane that's how fast they change so be prepared for them to

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

01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:20.080
was really interesting food for thought and the original article was from

01:15:17.040 --> 01:15:21.600
robert. callahan. org I've already been

01:15:20.080 --> 01:15:26.440
trying I've been looking into switching to Photon mail for a while but Photon

01:15:23.639 --> 01:15:31.440
mail is taking a while to really become a thing right so waiting for that and

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

01:15:35.040 --> 01:15:39.520
is basically forcibly stepped out yep

01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:44.880
because everyone moves to that so there's no real like great calendar app

01:15:42.440 --> 01:15:48.520
anymore yep because everyone just uses Google Calendar it's hard Google

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

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

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

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

01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:08.040
screen so like here's an example what if

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

01:16:10.040 --> 01:16:16.520
that bottom row and then go down that's ridiculous like that's the stupidest

01:16:15.080 --> 01:16:21.239
thing ever how did they not how did nobody catch this

01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:21.239
ever

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

01:16:25.480 --> 01:16:31.280
been saying this for quite a while actually but we don't have a better

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

01:16:33.400 --> 01:16:39.920
brought this up in a few different way shows there's there's such

01:16:37.080 --> 01:16:43.520
Mass Fight For Speed in browsers right now where they're just iterating

01:16:41.080 --> 01:16:49.320
releases incredibly fast if you look way back Firefox didn't release releases all

01:16:46.159 --> 01:16:50.760
that quickly until kind of Google Chrome

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

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

01:17:01.320 --> 01:17:07.679
old yeah um yeah they've been fighting for these

01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:12.040
iterative releases which are insane and they just break everything on my

01:17:10.400 --> 01:17:17.199
personal computer flash hasn't been working in Firefox for months my

01:17:14.280 --> 01:17:23.199
personal computer at home I can't use um like most social media websites on

01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:26.840
Firefox and then I can't view YouTube

01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:26.840
videos in Chrome

01:17:27.120 --> 01:17:31.920
what so I have to use two different browsers so I can actually get

01:17:30.320 --> 01:17:37.400
functionality across all of them what the hell since when did this happen just

01:17:35.080 --> 01:17:42.639
give up it's freaking fast enough fix everything God one of

01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:47.560
you Firefox I wish Firefox would just like step back and be like okay you can

01:17:44.719 --> 01:17:51.520
be one billionth of a second faster than us who gives a crap everything's going

01:17:49.440 --> 01:17:55.199
to work on our browser that would be great because waterfox is doing it right

01:17:53.320 --> 01:17:59.520
now I'm rooting I'm rooting for Internet Explorer the Rebrand yeah I'm holding

01:17:57.800 --> 01:18:02.280
out for that maybe they'll get it together I doubt it though I doubt it

01:18:01.400 --> 01:18:07.080
but maybe if I'm going to blindly if I'm

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

01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:17.679
throw to the third team that no one knows about yeah I don't

01:18:14.040 --> 01:18:20.719
know um all right ASUS is teasing a new

01:18:17.679 --> 01:18:24.040
smartwatch posted by dri W luk 's Opera

01:18:20.719 --> 01:18:25.840
no it's not better yeah I've tried Opera

01:18:24.040 --> 01:18:32.120
is so impossible but of the issue with Opera Google

01:18:28.400 --> 01:18:34.560
services it like YouTube is just

01:18:32.120 --> 01:18:39.560
broken like and I'm not talking viewing YouTube videos I mean the content

01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:41.280
creator tools yeah cannot use yeah all

01:18:39.560 --> 01:18:46.199
right I have Opa on my computer I do use it so basically time has been

01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:49.239
transformed and we have changed is a quote that they're using and they are

01:18:48.040 --> 01:18:56.719
going to apparently give us some more details on September the 3D

01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:56.719
hooray so there we go

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

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

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

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

01:19:13.320 --> 01:19:19.400
hardware model but it's interesting how Oculus Rift which is a company that will

01:19:17.280 --> 01:19:24.199
be releasing and Publishing games and their and their Rift device and possibly

01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:28.159
other things in the future is offering a bounty

01:19:25.639 --> 01:19:32.320
um for finding bugs with a minimum reward of

01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:35.360
$500 when we see Early Access being such

01:19:32.320 --> 01:19:37.440
a big pathetic useless piece of crap and

01:19:35.360 --> 01:19:41.440
then we see companies like Oculus throwing bounties at people I just found

01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:46.960
that to be a weird contrast yay Facebook accusation yay actually pretty much all

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

01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:56.239
again called ignore no more oh yeah that

01:19:53.400 --> 01:20:01.560
allows a parent or guardian or someone else to stop their kids from ignoring

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

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

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

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

01:20:16.480 --> 01:20:22.320
of people on the lineus tech tips Forum get really upset about this and kind of

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

01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:31.040
is look Junior who's 13 years old or 12

01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:35.120
years old and probably you know in my generation would have been considered

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

01:20:37.440 --> 01:20:44.480
fine but I expect it part of the part of

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

01:20:46.280 --> 01:20:52.360
other yeah if you are ignoring that part of the verbal contract then you don't

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

01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:59.360
they have to call their parents back to get an unlock

01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:03.920
code I think one of my parents might call me

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

01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:13.360
duration of having a cell phone okay my parents paid for mine because the deal

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

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

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

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

01:21:26.840 --> 01:21:34.239
coolest like right stuff to play with in terms of like video games or whatever so

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

01:21:36.239 --> 01:21:42.920
was a 10-minute drive to the closest convenience store like we had horses and

01:21:40.360 --> 01:21:47.639
stuff so for for me it made a lot of sense because my parents actually

01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:52.239
probably made out like bandits in the amount of time that they saved you know

01:21:50.040 --> 01:21:56.560
me driving to town which is 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back every time

01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:59.000
someone else needed to miss the school bus or whatever else then that's worth

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

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

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

01:22:09.080 --> 01:22:14.120
phone because whenever you lose or break your phone it's impossible to get in

01:22:12.440 --> 01:22:21.639
touch with you for like two weeks while you drag ass about replacing

01:22:17.800 --> 01:22:23.719
it oh man anyway I mean they're so

01:22:21.639 --> 01:22:27.040
expensive I mean I think that people were upset about about this because they

01:22:25.360 --> 01:22:31.480
saw it as something that like parents would stealthily install on their kids

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

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

01:22:39.480 --> 01:22:45.520
yeah okay so next one jump to the user modifies their Windows load screen thing

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

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

01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:57.320
boom uh I'll search for hitch there we

01:22:55.199 --> 01:23:03.400
go there you go the hitchbot so apparently by Cy Warrior Cordy Warrior

01:22:59.320 --> 01:23:06.000
wanted to be a huge jerk and name the

01:23:03.400 --> 01:23:13.400
topic for this robot tricks gullible Canadians yeah I didn't even load up his

01:23:08.760 --> 01:23:15.159
post because he's a huge butt um but

01:23:13.400 --> 01:23:19.400
anyways almost everyone that took this robot along with them knew it was coming

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

01:23:22.360 --> 01:23:32.639
like sagging and like hasn't been cleaned dived yeah with

01:23:28.600 --> 01:23:35.360
like you know gross yeah the kind the

01:23:32.639 --> 01:23:38.600
kind of butt hair anyway sorry carry on um yeah so almost everyone that picked

01:23:37.440 --> 01:23:43.000
it up knew it was coming beforehand because it' been blasted in the news um

01:23:41.239 --> 01:23:48.320
and the idea was it came all the way from Halifax Nova Scotia to uh Victoria

01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:54.560
BC by hitchhiking so that's the little Hitch King robot and someone has to pick

01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:56.000
it up and then take it along with them

01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:59.960
and it made it all the way which is kind of amazing especially with reading

01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:04.639
through the comments of our super high class totally up upstart citizens on our

01:24:02.920 --> 01:24:09.880
forum who basically all said that they would just steal it and take it home um

01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:16.159
but yeah so there's a hitchhiking robot someone finds it this is obviously

01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:20.840
obviously a promotional video y oh look

01:24:16.159 --> 01:24:20.840
I pick it up and I put it in my

01:24:21.360 --> 01:24:27.920
car and apparently it could like talk to you on some very basic level and stuff

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

01:24:30.400 --> 01:24:36.199
it got was like scratched it got scratched and it's it's uh LCD

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

01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:43.960
the way which is actually kind of fantastic again especially considering

01:24:41.360 --> 01:24:49.880
the massively amazing citizens of the LT forum who all said they would steal it

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

01:24:52.280 --> 01:24:55.679
super badass

01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:14.360
oh there was no sound I heard it did you

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

01:25:16.800 --> 01:25:19.080
through the

01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:26.600
cable there we go so it actually has the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:25:53.320 --> 01:25:58.679
wasn't even going to do that one Okay Google's planning to introduce accounts

01:25:56.719 --> 01:26:02.320
for children under 13 posted by by Victorious secret it's going to allow

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

01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:11.000
as it is kids under 13 are using Google accounts and they're just not being

01:26:09.239 --> 01:26:15.360
regulated correctly okay not being regulated at all which is kind of

01:26:12.679 --> 01:26:21.199
redonkulous in Minecraft someone made a I think single kilobyte hard drive y one

01:26:18.360 --> 01:26:24.480
kilobyte which is actually kind of awesome it's interesting to see this

01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:30.000
kind of stuff I've seen in my opinion slightly more interesting things um on

01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:34.000
the incredibly ridiculous side of things but he's got to the incredibly

01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:38.280
ridiculous side of things at all which is super cool so it's pretty cool to

01:26:36.840 --> 01:26:41.239
show and he shows like miniature versions of it so you can actually

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

01:26:44.639 --> 01:26:50.480
he basically shows you the fundamentals of what you need to know so that you can

01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:55.560
build your own which is again super awesome yeah it can store one kilobyte

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

01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:05.679
hit was China the no actually I wanted

01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:08.760
to do EA is not sending reviewers copies

01:27:05.679 --> 01:27:11.480
of Sims 4 so this was posted by Mind

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

01:27:14.480 --> 01:27:21.679
that is uh and okay so they're not sending out

01:27:19.440 --> 01:27:28.560
review copies also no if I remember correctly toddlers no toddler stage no

01:27:24.679 --> 01:27:30.840
pools no pools um it looks like I mean

01:27:28.560 --> 01:27:35.000
we have this conversation every time there's a new Sims where it's like yeah

01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:38.840
they downgraded a bunch of crap because all those expansions that you went and

01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:42.000
bought you're going to have to Reby them because the base game doesn't include

01:27:40.480 --> 01:27:48.920
the expansions of the previous games how can it not include pools or like

01:27:45.440 --> 01:27:50.760
developmental phases of the Sims like

01:27:48.920 --> 01:27:54.840
they're right in the title of the game yeah like those are two pretty

01:27:52.840 --> 01:28:00.440
fundamental things guys what are you doing oh my

01:27:56.960 --> 01:28:02.000
God yeah ultimately it's more complexity

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

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

01:28:08.280 --> 01:28:12.960
going through portals across different levels of pools there's so much more

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

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

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

01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:36.320
there's going to be actually loading as you go between zones

01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:38.199
um oh God yeah I don't know how they

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

01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:45.440
consistently worse no it can't be that hard it's got

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

01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:56.480
maximum of only two levels

01:28:52.320 --> 01:28:58.080
like so I don't know on the one hand I

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

01:28:59.800 --> 01:29:07.880
super cool positive effect of them not giving reviewers early copies of Sims 4

01:29:05.639 --> 01:29:13.000
is that that really opens up the door for the average consumer to create a

01:29:11.320 --> 01:29:17.480
review that can actually generate a fair bit of traffic because we know that when

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

01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:25.960
get x amount of exposure even at our level even with all the subscribers we

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

01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:35.800
release it at release date when everyone else hits it we'll get x times something

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

01:29:38.320 --> 01:29:45.840
how it works and that's why there are embargos and ndas and release dates so

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

01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:54.560
wellestablished media Outlet whereas having just an on shelf date where

01:29:53.199 --> 01:29:59.840
everyone goes to the store and buys a copy of the game I think lets Grassroots

01:29:57.280 --> 01:30:04.239
reviewers have an opportunity to be like the one to break the story and

01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:10.440
especially in gaming like we're pretty big we can't get interviews with

01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:15.560
anyone because we're not established in gaming y it's impossible us for us to

01:30:13.280 --> 01:30:19.960
properly get proper interviews with any big triaa

01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:23.360
developers we can't get interviews with blizzard we can't get interviews with

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

01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:30.400
hardware side someone like Oculus you

01:30:28.080 --> 01:30:35.080
interviewed Palmer like on the hardware side we're good we actually have that

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

01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:45.400
Hardware like it's not that tenuous a link yeah whereas if you are completely

01:30:43.400 --> 01:30:50.040
a nobody walking around on the show floor at PA you don't stand a chance

01:30:47.840 --> 01:30:54.520
whereas if everyone kind of stopped giving out pre-release copies and with

01:30:52.719 --> 01:30:57.480
to I don't know I think it could be it

01:30:55.719 --> 01:31:01.080
could be interesting to to interject here for a second the Palmer interview

01:30:59.280 --> 01:31:05.840
we only got because I ambushed him in the booth that wasn't preset we still

01:31:03.360 --> 01:31:10.280
don't have a proper media contact there that will actually answer anything and

01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:15.119
in the Palmer interview he said that he did really in fact like Linux because he

01:31:12.400 --> 01:31:19.360
thought we were Linux Tech tips that that was the cut that didn't

01:31:17.760 --> 01:31:25.360
end up getting in because there was no audio recording cuz Brandon

01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:27.360
rushed so maybe not is cool but they're

01:31:25.360 --> 01:31:32.119
like they're more actually a gaming company yes and they are everyone

01:31:30.320 --> 01:31:35.280
everyone ever wants to interview them right so if you contact their press

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

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

01:31:40.800 --> 01:31:48.360
individual emails and then I'll publicly broadcast so like we

01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:51.520
yeah yeah I have it on good faith that he actually liked that interview but we

01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:55.719
still have no way to properly contact him because he told us as he was leaving

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

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

01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:11.600
to work is it he was like I'm like okay whatever fine all

01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:16.000
right well I guess we suck and we're not important so here we

01:32:13.440 --> 01:32:20.360
go we're important to some people yeah we're important to someone I just wish

01:32:18.280 --> 01:32:24.639
you guys actually I feel pretty important right now we have over 6,100

01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:30.840
people watching right now you guys are amazing I know right tested always gets

01:32:27.080 --> 01:32:30.840
the cool Oculus interviews I'm so

01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:37.719
jelly so is that pretty much it do we have anything else we could do that

01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:41.040
horrible stupid thing that the Chinese Theaters are testing yeah let's end with

01:32:39.480 --> 01:32:45.119
that yeah let's end with that well this is ridiculous hilarious I mean maybe

01:32:43.440 --> 01:32:52.600
maybe something is getting Lost in Translation here but like China you guys

01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.800
you guys serious bro so check this out

01:32:52.600 --> 01:33:01.159
Cinemas in major cities in China have started testing the bullet screen which

01:32:57.440 --> 01:33:03.440
allows the audience to text comments

01:33:01.159 --> 01:33:08.199
about the film that will be shown on screen they are filtered and people have

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

01:33:10.400 --> 01:33:19.159
cents equivalent of 10 cents sensitive or forbidden words like swearing or

01:33:16.119 --> 01:33:22.320
democracy um are probably are probably

01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:25.360
going to get filtered there but

01:33:22.320 --> 01:33:28.000
um yeah and it has to be approved to be

01:33:25.360 --> 01:33:33.880
a bullet screen film by the writer and their contract with the producer so I

01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:35.639
can't think of any thing that anyone

01:33:33.880 --> 01:33:39.760
sitting in a theater with me could contribute to my viewing experience by

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

01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:51.600
ridiculous okay I can see having something like chat with

01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:55.239
other people in the theater like like like a twitch chat style thing that's

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

01:33:57.920 --> 01:34:03.520
like okay okay so say for example they have a Wi-Fi hot spot inside each

01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:07.440
theater so people can tune in on their phones and chat with each other you know

01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:11.119
some people get really bothered by the glowing screen in the dark theater thing

01:34:09.239 --> 01:34:13.800
I personally give exactly zero craps about that I'm not going to turn my

01:34:12.280 --> 01:34:18.040
phone on because other people find it rude but if if that was the route you

01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:21.679
wanted to go with this that's a lot less intrusive than putting someone's

01:34:19.800 --> 01:34:26.679
freaking text message on the screen while I'm trying

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

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

01:34:34.080 --> 01:34:40.440
that's this is ridiculous this is just stupid this is the worst possible

01:34:37.719 --> 01:34:43.880
implementation I can think of I had like a semi emergency Thing Once where I

01:34:42.320 --> 01:34:49.480
needed to be in texting contact with someone and I was in a movie theater um

01:34:47.280 --> 01:34:53.840
so like you'd think just leave but it was very intermittent messages and it

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

01:34:56.080 --> 01:35:02.000
stuff hold on people are like but twitch chat is [ __ ] I'm like this is

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

01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:10.080
someone wants to talk it they should be a go but it should be optional exactly

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

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

01:35:15.679 --> 01:35:22.040
problem solved yeah I guess that's about it we

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

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

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

01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:44.600
at night and we can like just say hey

01:35:41.320 --> 01:35:47.080
there's garage sale items and then like

01:35:44.600 --> 01:35:51.440
hey there's a price drop on like your Afterparty stream or something like that

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

01:35:52.880 --> 01:35:58.760
like a really s after the maybe I'll prep this next

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

01:36:00.480 --> 01:36:07.199

oh yeah speaking of derp there was one

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

01:37:10.080 --> 01:37:17.280
on let me find it where's derp imer twitch farc and stack exchange research

01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:21.360
partnership I think Reddit was also involved at least I thought so the point

01:37:19.719 --> 01:37:25.760
is it's called derp and it stands for digital ecology research partnership

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

01:37:28.440 --> 01:37:35.239
why I can't do an Afterparty or a garage sale right now clearly not capable
