all right guys welcome to the lonus tech tips live stream with special guest
slick uh well you were a special guest at one point at the at the beginning
yeah like like a long long time ago yeah
that was that was like six months ago no
must have been more it was it was December it was before lonus Media Group
split out on its own yeah it was either December or like late November yeah cuz
that was when my ARM was messed up yeah that was so that like you were in school
still oh no that was a long time ago wow
that might have been before but you're still special oh long setup that was
that was a really long setup and not very nice either that was totally
worthwhile so guys welcome to the lonus tech tips live stream the we're going to
get pretty much right into it with a
Twitter Q&A blitz so get your Twitter
Q&A in right now while we just uh give
you some special messaging special messaging from Intel so guys if you
haven't checked it out Intel gaming promo.com is where you can check out
their gaming promo right now so it's a px Prime promo if you buy a Haswell CPU
if you know anyone who bought a Haswell CPU if you're going to buy a Haswell CPU
so any fourth generation processor guys
it go sign up for this promo because you have a chance to win the ultimate trick
to PX Prime which basically amounts to tickets and spending money and there's a
bunch of T's and C's on the their website but yeah if you know anyone who
bought one and they're willing to give you a copy of their receipt and they don't care about going to PAX Prime go
do it now do it now seriously cuz PX Prime tickets are actually really
expensive right now and really really hard to get unless
like yeah yeah all of that stuff so PX
Prime not paying for
it EA
oh wow that's early this time isn't it we there was no like actual reason to
even do it just bam well I don't think we actually have
any EA news this week no that's that's what I mean so we're just just just
taking a shot at them we also have some really exciting news about the
Afterparty this week so we didn't manage to 96 Super Mario World but I think we
kind of give up it's it's some ghost house somewhere and we can't tell cuz
the color on the pad doesn't change or something and just but we basically we
Bas yeah we basically give up so we're not going to bother doing that but what
we are going to do this live stream is we are going to experiment with our
system for having live callers call in so we're hoping to get that launched
with a special partner next week so we can do live calling in uh which I think
is going to be just really cool we're basically going to be caught up to radio
at that point in terms ofch technology
almost yay fist bump every fist bump for
something fail we should be
like sponsor us e e if you're watching
we'll stop ripping on you quite quite so hard cuz we're still gonna
rip all right let's go to the uh let's go to the Twitter boards here which is
what they call the phone boards when you're on a radio show which is what we'll be so we're directly comparing
ourselves to radio yeah well we're basically like radio but with
video and I think the thing's a
little yeah if we didn't have video then we wouldn't have these technical
difficulties yeah we should just do a radio show people have been asking for
it to be converted into podcast for a while radio that hard there was a
request for it to be podcasted that was the top comment
on okay I'm putting you in charge of that okay oh that was easy look at this
delation I love podcasts okay I like seriously hurt podcast so I have no
problem with doing that okay and I know like they don't get the craziest amount
of listeners but I I love podcasts all
right guys what technology on computers do you think is behind the rest display
is not good enough SATA not fast enough Etc you want to take this one SATA in my
opinion what's opinion yeah I cuz I don't think it's SATA at all I think
that what's actually too slow if we're going to talk storage alone is Nan flash
because right now an SSD can Max out a
SAT a bus but not when it's doing anything random yeah we're not even
close the drives are not the controllers aren't fast enough the nand isn't fast
enough nand is still way like storage
was so far behind and then SSD was
like I mean you look at how many orders of magnitude faster a current CPU is
compared to something 10 years ago and like how much F even with SSD and SATA 3
how fast storage is but it's not even close my angle on this is you're
completely right my angle on this though is that the drive manufacturers are not
super incentivized to push harder because when people are looking at benchmarks they see it get capped out
and then they're like oh so it's a difficult message and it's hard to sell
so why bother so why bother so if so if the cap on SATA gets removed I think
there'll be more incentive for the drive manufacturers to push harder well the
one that I still feel more strongly about than storage cuz as you know I'm a
storage dork like you've seen the setup I have in my system ssds awesome which
is by the way fast enough now just
saying um I I'm still going to go with displays because I see no reason like to
me the thing that's most offensive about displays is that we have the technology
for them to be there it's it's stupid standards like HDMI holding back
everything and for people who are like oh HDMI is whatever no HDMI is not
anything good HDMI is inferior in every
way other than size I don't use it for anything other than size it is inferior
in every way to DVI DVI can carry a digital and an analog signal super handy
when you have to Output to something analog DVI can carry twice the bandwidth
of HDMI DVI has a locking connector DVI
is much more difficult to break it can handle more insertions HDMI sucks there
I said it um and DisplayPort cannot come soon enough in terms of completely
replacing HDMI but I still like the fact that DVI can carry an analog signal and
if DVI got the same kind of TLC that HDMI gets if it was getting the double
bandwidth that HDMI is getting that finally gets it caught up to DVI finally
if DVI was getting that we'd be able to do 4K 60 HZ nothing compressed no
nothing with DVI no problem so yeah DVI
for the win DVI forever like respect to DVI we can't do a fail fist bunt no we
can't uh because DVI is amazing um so so
dis interfaces are one of the things holding it back but that's still not an
excuse because we have DisplayPort it is capable of it if they can build a
1080p screen this big then they can build a 4K screen that's four times this
big and I don't care what the yields are because you look at the bomb cost for
these phones that includes processor nand RAM screen touchscreen interface
chassis everything if you're going to tell me you can't build a 4k monitor
that's like 24 in for less than you know 500 600 bucks BS so displays are way
behind and it's offensive because we have the tech we're just refusing to use
it because we're putting everything into phones um okay next one sorry that ended
up going pretty long okay shout out to Dylan shout out to Stefano who are both
watching for the first time uh did you sign any kind of a contract with Noctua
uh no actually I didn't apparently the image is quite bad I don't think I think
it is a bit blurry CU I think we were sitting forward when we focused I can I
can try and fix it do you want me to try and fix it sure okay sit where you're
going to sit how's that no that's way worse I'm
just kidding how how's that is that sharp uh I think that's better maybe
let's rock with that okay um no we
didn't sign anything with nocta I think it's going to be a long-term thing
condone of taking my dad 780 from the build I built him with a 660 with my 660
Ti he's a newb and doesn't game the wrong thing you did was not necessarily
swapping out a non- gamer's graphics card but making a non- gamer by a $700
graphics card first place that wasn't cool man unless your plan all along was
to do the swap no that makes it worse
cuz he's cuz cuz that's terrible yeah
you wouldn't do that to your dad
no I I hope your dad's watching I would get my dad to get a 780 but your dad
games but my dad games and my dad does boink yes and my dad would use the he
same that card would be at like 89% all the time well I got my mom a 660 Ti as
well okay well that's but she used it cuz she played Skyrim she wanted that
computer to play Skyrim okay is there no there is no major FPS and performance
difference between those two things go do you think NVIDIA is limiting sales of
Shield by making it exclusive to GTX cards rather than including AMD they're
trying to buff their product line yeah
they're making an ecosystem yeah exactly they're trying to make it so that you
are an NVIDIA customer so all all the
things that you have that could be from NVIDIA is from NVIDIA that and remember that the way Shield works is is via a
proprietary NVIDIA technology like it's the same kind of Technology as we're
going to see in NVIDIA's Grid where it's
it's like centralizing the processing power of the GPU and then streaming it
elsewhere and like virtualizing gpus this is a proprietary I'm I'm willing to
bet there's Hardware in there for this like I don't think this is as simple as
uh why die that's not what we're doing and technically they could open it up
but that would probably be a silly move yeah why yeah why should they I I think
Shield's cool we didn't talk about this last week Shield dropped to 2299 that's
that's really cool that's actually awesome and that brings it go ahead that
brings it into a way way bigger price point because the second you get under 300 bucks or like at 300 bucks like if
you spend half your paycheck and you save half your paycheck you can afford a
shield with a paycheck is where I think it gets down to like like that's GS to
the affordable range yeah like that to me is what the $300 like the $300 thing
is like I could I could wait a paycheck check or two and I could save up for it
a paycheck or two yeah but when you have to start waiting a month for something
then it becomes tough becomes a problem yeah um honestly and I I honestly I
didn't really see the complaints about 349 in terms of the competition that's
out there because when you look at the spec and you look at the competing
devices I mean how much do you pay for a phone what's it got on a shield still
though a wireless antenna still though
logically the difference between 299 and 349 is not that much right but
perception perception is huge once you get under that exactly $300 Mark if
cable TV DVDs and Blu-rays all broadcast at 60 HZ is there a real advantage to a
120 HZ TV if you game with a PC on your TV then perhaps um and if you want to uh
do the whole 3D thing then yes and if you want to do that uh screen sharing
thing where you can play dual player games each wearing 3D glasses and seeing
a different full full screen image then it's really cool as well other than that
no that is a few different things though um here's a question do you know the
answer to this why would someone want to be able to digitally switch their power
supply between one 12vt rail and 2 plus 12vt rails isn't it once you get to
insanely high voltages it's better to be on multiple rails once you're drawing a
lot of current it can be safer to have multiple rails but honestly if you're
able to switch between them then the reality of it is your power supply has
multiple rails and they're just being like combined yeah so I wouldn't worry
about it too much these days the whole multi-rail sing that was only relevant
for like six months yeah and it was a while ago that was like that was back
when an ocz Power Stream was a big deal yeah this was quite a while ago you're
making me feel old it wasn't that long okay it was a while ago it was a while
ago what's a good power supply for 2way SLI gtx780 what would you buy 2way GTX 7
brand aside depends on your chip remember has go brand what kind supp
you not when overclocked either H not
when overclocked though true oh what
power why don't I go with another answer while you think about that what's a
cheap Ultrabook to get that below 700 bucks that is good the words good and
cheap and notebook rarely go together uh so you get whatever Ultra Book is the
quality you want and then you pay however much that costs um anything
other than an ASUS Zenbook I I generally
I think that's sort of where they start in terms of where I'd call it like a
really good quality Ultrabook however the Acer Aspire S3 the new one looks
outstanding whatever you do though if you're going to buy Ultrabook today get
a Haswell based one because particularly on Notebook Haswell is a big deal it's
actually awesome lots more graphics performance and much better power
consumption power consumption there is huge for me okay power supply probably a
760i because if you're spending that much 760 okay cuz I'm sure you could
make it in that power range yeah oh yeah it'll be fine and um if if you're
spending that much on graphics cards you're probably spending that much on all the other parts in your system so
I'm not too worried about fitting a 760i into your budget and you can buy a
sleeving kit and those sleeving kits are sweet that's true okay and then you
don't have to spend all that time sleeving your power supply and that goes directly to the power supply for a
sleeving kit cuz some sleeping kits are just extensions these ones go all the
way to your power supply so it'll look awesome and if you're spending that much
on a computer you probably want it to look awesome so I don't know but there's
like there's a whole bunch of other power suppies that I do like pretty much
equally as much is Gigabyte the way to go for Haswell motherboards we actually
haven't used any of these yet these just arrived they're not even open they're
not even open will a 450 W sfx power supply power a
Haswell Cas series and a 780 ooh are you
overclocking are you yeah if you're not planning to overclock you're going to be
really borderline yeah you'll be on the line if you are overclocking I wouldn't
do it put one SSD in there maybe maybe
don't have an SSD well you'll need a storage device but yeah yeah like I
wouldn't plug too many like peripherals into the USB ports I I wouldn't do that
actually I don't maybe we should try well if he's buying not overclocked
maybe yeah but Power SP are so cheap but it's
sfx he wants an sfx power supply so I think 450 the max is that Silverstone
one I think S one is a 550 one do they have a 550 or no it was 450 gold Amax
has a 550 okay we'll see if you can find something interesting at their booth
that was the highest watt I don't remember what it was though so it might
not be that specific form best wireless hard drive good question uh Voyager air
has good battery life Wireless Plus has a really really stable app and the
Patriot Arrow has good integration with third party players I mean none of them
are bad to be perfectly honest um from our experience with them none of them
just like flake out so by the way just
remembered it was a fameless it wasn't a oh okay it was something different uh
okay I'm glad you made it too Josh y Maximus 6 formula estimated price and
release well the price will probably look at a Maximus 5 formula probably
around there and then uh thoughts I think the formula board out of all the
Rog boards is the one that makes the most sense because it has that really
high-end audio Solution on it that that makes me feel really good about buying
the board because I'm not just getting like w more usb3
ports I'm getting something that's really tangible and actually costs money
to put on the board like engineering that audio solution took time and money
and building every single one of them is expensive um are you guys getting J as a
guest we don't have him scheduled by any stretch of the imagination but he's
certainly welcome to join us um we've talked about this a fair bit
in the past guys so we're going to leave that one for now uh what do you think
about Studio grade speakers do you think it is good for anyone's setup I'll let
you take this one um depends if you're an audio file or not I have what are
they called again those Corsair speakers s sp2500 SP 2500s they're awesome they
were realistically pretty cheap because I got them recertified at ncx so it was
an awesome deal um that was a good deal that was a freaking i b one to yeah and
he already had a set well I need another
one for my wife don't worry about it they they're awesome speakers but
personally I I do appreciate my audio equipment but I care about headphones
more uh speakers I got those because it was a great deal and I like it that
they're loud I can hear them in a room beside me and they sound really good but
I'm not going for Studio grade speakers yeah I mean honestly they're probably
good I think that's how is toer compared to Cherry also
what's your favorite keyboard go they're really really really different toer is I
don't like them to yeah they're they're they're really different they're really
premium high quality very consistent feeling switches um but they're not
really cherries and you can't really compare them directly to any switch
people ask me to do this all the time no um they feel nothing like cherries yeah
at all no um at all not even close my my
favorite keyboard all uh depending on
what variation of all the prototypes that they release probably a yearly
snake because they're talking about reling releasing an uh aluminum now what
Blue switches and I think your what brown me I prefer Brown switches but my
favorite keyboard is actually the zy 60 which has black switches so I broke my
own rule uh someone says the stream is laggy but that looks like the only one
uh he looks like the only one complaining about it so I don't know what to say is 170 Canadian a steel for
a secondhand Dell 1920x 1200 monit monitor yeah maybe depends what kind of
condition it's in if it's like a 245 fpw like I have it's starting to fade the
the back light's not very even anymore and like make sure you see it make sure
there's no dead pixels or anything going on any thoughts on the mono price $58
blue switch Mech keyboard mono price is known for high quality and low price I've heard it's made kind of like it's a
low-end blue keyboard but it's also a blue keyboard 58 bucks got mx blues for
58 bucks what do you want me to yeah seen maybe get some posters for the wall
yeah we had that last week we have posters we have order did you place the
order I haven't actually put it in yet okay we're ordering a bunch of cool swag for the office from Think Geek so that's
going to be cool uh my computer won't post I sent the mobile for rain received
the same one repaired still have the same issue um could be something else
could be RAM could be power supply if you can swap if you have other kids of
RAM or friends with it try and swap out your RAM it's always a okay big thing so
let's get into our first topic because I think we've done uh a pretty pretty good
uh Twitter Q&A Blitz there
so here we go let me just make sure I have this I
think that I have this set up right so we should be able to yes yes yes I do
and I think that marks on my monitor oh oh and I just did the thing it's Arrow
shake and everything went away all right so Sony and Disney will begin streaming
movies that are still in theaters in a
bold move against piracy so let's just give you the quick
summary so this is on the verge in a bid to limit movie piracy in Asia so this is
not happening in North America in the US theaters will still be getting their
90day exclusive period uh Sony and Disney have begun testing a bold new on
demand service in South Korea which offers movies to rent while they are
still playing in theaters so they've done this before this isn't the first
time and there's been a lot of push back from the theaters they rely very heavily
like very heavily on that exclusive period because quite frankly I don't
know about you but if I had the choice
whether to pay $12 for watching the movie at the theater actually I mean you
can get as cheap as like nine bucks but it's Che is n bucks but then that's also
per person yep so if I could pay 12 bucks to go watch it in the theater or
if I could sit at home and watch it on my 52in TV with my surround sound setup
that like quite frankly is pretty good
um why do I why am I going to a theater why don't I make my own popcorn for 39
certain movies I think I would still go see cuz certain movies Batman still yeah
Batman big action movies like superhero movies like superhero movies big action
movies for Avengers 2 I can't believe they got Robert dowy Jr I'm like yes for
two more anyway go ahead stoked Robert Don J is one of my
favorite actors he's awesome so who can be Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes I know
so awesome anyways um mind you he play
he does them kind of the same doesn't matter I know it doesn't it's awesome
awesome uh okay so what was I saying yeah there's okay so there's the theater
experience with big action movies stuff like that where you want the like insane
yes you have pretty good surround sound but when you want the insane room shaking surround sound and the big
freaking screen and all that kind of stuff like that's cool and we'll still
pull people with theaters a little bit but certain genres I think will get
really hurt by that right okay and I mean it's like I think for big
blockbuster movies this is going to be less of a thing but one of the examples of when they tightened the window from
17 weeks to 12 weeks on Alice and Wonderland in the UK Ireland and Italy
uh Alice and Wonderland was nearly not screened by theaters they were just like nope forget it um it wasn't a good movie
for one thing so I don't I didn't see it oh it was terrible it was terrible it
was like it was just like Johnny Depp in makeup which quite frankly is awesome so
that's how bad the rest of the movie had to be so I was going to say like why is
that bad I know he's so hot oh dear um
uh this one's uh this one's your topic so next one up is from
Rutters Microsoft to bring Xbox and PC
games to Apple and Android phones I
didn't read into this too too specifically but there was um yeah
basically exactly what he already said I think this is an interesting move
they've done stuff like this before where they support certain things but
like they say right there Microsoft's Age of Empires will be available fre
play old game yeah but free to play they're not releasing any of their like
insane stuff mhm but they're just opening the platforms a little
bit that's that's a that's is I mean is
that an okay couple things number one is
that an acknowledgement that Windows Phone 8 is done or is it an
acknowledgement that they don't care because they're getting their licensing fees on Android devices at this point
yeah and at the same time like huge
licensing fees and at the same time they're um what is it they're getting an
hz1 Windows Phone 8 version yeah so I
don't really think so because they're still pushing right so so I think this
is just them going okay this isn't like our biggest title let's just see what
happens let's just see what happens let's open the floodgates because I
don't think people are going to like switch a platform so they can play Age
of Empires no or maybe there's a few but like there isn't going to be a huge wave
of people and if you would choose your smartphone based on which one can play
Age of Empire then like power to you power to you that's not an EA fist bump
cuz you're hardcore it's not an EA game cuz it's
good um but I don't like I don't think it's going to that is not going to be
the Tipping Point for that many people buying phones so I don't think they
think it really matters that much you know it it's funny it almost seems at
this point like like Microsoft is giving more cares to like apple platforms and
Google platforms than to their own Windows platform like it has has been it
has been a serious thorn in my side to this day that Halo doesn't get the same
support on PC that it does on Xbox like I'm sorry Microsoft what made
you big exactly was it
Xbox that's so annoying cuz Xbox or Xbox
One Halo one on on PC was awesome and we
got it like way later yeah we didn't get
co-op nope like uh I still ended up playing
Halo 1 on my what do you even call an original Xbox yeah I know right Xbox one
uh um because it came out so much
earlier I didn't even hear about the PC release how I figured out about the PC
release was I saw it like one of my friends had it and I was like what why
was there not tons of news around this I don't know I mean my whole thing is uh
is like oneman boycotting if I don't like something I won't buy it so I
wouldn't touch Halo for Xbox because it was so offensive to me that it was not
available for PC second it came out for PC I bought it second Halo 2 came out
for PC I bought it I'm not going to buy it for Xbox I'm not going to do it same
thing my local cable provider the reason I don't have a cable TV subscription is
that they don't support cable card and I think it's BS that the Canadian Telos
will not support cable card well okay telecommunication it's not really well
they're kind of all Telos at this point yeah I don't know whatever anyway the
content providers up here Will will not support cable card and every time they
call me they call me like once every two months at least hey we noticed you have
internet with us do you want uh cable TV no please put a note on my file don't
call me again until you have cable card because I refuse to pay for things where
they're going to have un anti-consumer policies that just limit the way I can
use my devices and are offensive to me as a customer so
there when I was on my student plan with Shaw they called me to be like hey do
you want like cable service and I was like can you give me a free TV
they were like what I was like I don't own a TV if you want me to get cable
service I need a TV I was like uh did
they stop calling you yep you should have been like well well
T us gives you a free computer with your internet sign up so like you guys should
give me a free TV makes sense to me if I want to use
your service I have to have a device to use your service on I was just trying to
get a free TV I was just going to cancel the plan right
after it was a student plans it didn't cost anything really anyway ter aren
you that's terrible all right I would have it for
the minimum amount of time no we're not talking about this anymore um next one
is an article from the guardian which I'm having a little bit of trouble with
my touchcreen here I want this to grow
grow really okay fine whatever Blackberry shares fall sharply after
smartphone maker posts shock loss
Traders SL 1.2 B billion from the company's valuation did they have 1.2
billion left in their valuation I think they still have $3.1 billion of cushion
okay after revealing a $69 million loss following poor sales of
the new Z 10 and Q10 phones here's what I want to know was this loss shocking
that's what I found so confusing was because they estimated 3 million units
sold and I was like why did you estimate
3 million unit sold I think it's 3 million units I don't remember exactly
what it is this is the problem with forecasting like when I started lonus
Media Group my uncle's like well do you have a business plan and a forecast I'm
like no I know approximately how much revenue we can make if we do all these
things right and I know our viewers are going to support us and I know all these
things and we're going to kind of go for it and it's going to be an adventure I
don't know how much of this I'm really supposed to go into but when we were at
Omni you were like so what are all your numbers and and he had a few and stuff
but he's like yeah but I'm Kickstarter it so we're going to see what happens
these are all my papers like it doesn't matter and the guy comes from a
financial background yeah like so he
understands he understands what a forecast is which should give you some
idea why he thought it was just pointless to have one like like he had
some idea you kind of put feelers out there and you're like okay well you know
are people going to support me and this is how well semi- similar products
there's no s there's nothing that similar to his but like semi- similar VR
stuff well he was looking at pre-orders for Rift and he kind of going okay well
if I get this percentage this if this number of people who want a rift also
want an omni then okay then it kind of
works out yeah so he was thinking about it but like but at the end of the day
like it's like oh you know analysts need to see a you know a forecast and when
you're Intel and your business is predominantly run rate like Intel CPUs
they can they could manufacture them a year out and they'd have a pretty good
idea of how many they're going to need because it it's just once the numbers
get big enough there's kind of there's some variation but there's like there's
a flow to it it evens out I remember showing you this when I was still
working at NC and I'm like yeah I can predict how many CPUs are going to sell
to within like 10 plus or minus 10 on a given week and you're like no I'm like
yeah it's like if I drop the price this much it'll be this many plus or minus 10
boom there's a long weekend so it's going to be this many plus or minus 10
it just I don't get it like your logic
and I bet the logic of many of you out there is if there's like a product launch then
everyone buys it and then like sales go like this and then they like go like
this for the rest of the product not at all apparently not 8800 GTX had a boost
and it sold like this and it was flat it
sold exactly the same throughout pretty much its entire lifetime sometimes
growing for seasonality and that card
was current for over a year yeah that card is freaking awesome by the way over
a year it was just solid and it's like
why and the answer is look at the steam Hardware survey the the the the number
of people who actually upgrade every generation is like super small if NVIDIA
didn't release a graphics card for three years there'd still be plenty of people
to buy graphics cards lots lots of people to buy graphics cards the fact
that they move so fast is kind of baffling to me they don't have to AMD
and NVIDIA are just keeping each other in check yeah it's like trying to make
sure that when you do go to the store that they have the fastest one even
though they don't really need to have the fastest they don't really need to but I I appreciate that they have the
fastest one or that they're trying so so
anyway so Blackberry I mean you know what maybe this is a good opportunity to
talk about your experience with the Z10 you spent some over a month with it yep
I will talk about that one quick second I want to jump back to the article um a
new big guy that's a part of blackberry stuff has been talking and saying okay
guys like foron hin I think that's it yeah I don't remember some dude some
dude from Blackberry that's really really high up um basically he's going
like okay give us a little bit because like
honestly they didn't do that bad if you have realistic expectations of what
they're supposed to do I mean the R&D involved in two new flagship smartphones
alone is like not trivial and they have to hit a market that they weren't
hitting for a while Y and like they're they're trying to get into new markets
they're trying to do all this new stuff like there needs to be some growing time
like people were like okay you're releasing new smartphone you're not doing that well kill you well it's
because everyone's used to Apple and Samsung results yeah exactly but then
again HTC I think has demonstrated that
someone who's basically down for the count can have a blockbuster smartphone
yes and maybe Blackberry should have done an Android OS release but they
didn't what if they oh that would have been terrible message though yes and no
what if they did a Blackberry version of Android
OS they could have their switching between business and normal mode would
you buy a Z10 if it was an Android phone I like buttons no okay if it had
buttons I don't like the screen how do you see how do you differentiate an
Android phone I like the scen other than spend a bloody fortune on something
that's basically unmanufactured by almost anyone else the back of the Z10
was very nice like most of the things about it was nice I didn't like this sck
likes the back I didn't like the screen bacon because it was like impossible to
clean you remember that oh yeah right it didn't have a very good like grease
resistance it was weird I've never had a touchcreen like that before in my entire
life and I mean what was your take of okay having tried to switch to
Blackberry would you could you possibly have switched from Android to Blackberry
knowing everything you know now personally I would not want to yeah like
I say is the conclusion video out yet it went out last night okay like iot the
annotations again
yeah God so many comments on the previous one are like you're doing this
and there's nothing to click
on anyways um I would not do it personally I would suggest that certain
people do do it uh specifically one of my friend's dads who's very into
business and has to keep up on things like emails and text messages and all
that kind of stuff very quickly it's good for that because he doesn't
actually want to spend that much time on his phone doesn't play games doesn't play games doesn't do all that kind of
stuff but needs to be able to answer emails and everything quickly and then put his phone back away but Android is
so customizable that you can probably come up with some Solution that's still
really good but that's built in and ready to go immediately that's true you don't have to fight with it and I think
if there's any I'll get it or uh no it's okay I can get it cuz I think you're the
next one as well White House petition something something so so cover that one
but I think the thing with the thing with Blackberry is that uh it's ready
done and not everyone's a phone door
right oh my notebook yes oh yeah you're going to need that scene three shows
them the screen oh okay whoop sorry guys yeah so basically for
the right user the person that doesn't want to sit down and constantly be customizing their phone awesome for the
right user someone who wants to be able to do their social media uh and
interactions very very quickly I just said very very oh man um for someone who
wants to do it extremely quickly uh it's it's great but for me I want to do more
with my phone and it tries to be an Android phone with its side loing apps
which is cool if you're someone who already has one or bought bought it for
a specific reason but then wants additional functionality but for me I
would just want to buy an Android phone because it just makes more sense to me
so moving on I'm going to try and figure out how I'm supposed to do this on
Linus's laptop give me one quick
second oh that's the exact one we were just
looking at okay I'm going to have troubl getting to it but I can start talking about it before I get to it basically um
different states are not allowing
manufacturers to sell directly to individual personal clients so they want
you to go to like they want you to I
don't know what they're called car park they're not called a car park
wow I don't know what they're called anyways where they sell cars they want
you to go there and buy it in person instead of getting it directly from the
manufacturer so Tesla only does their business that way so because there's
certain States not allowing it anymore someone has created a I think his name
is Tim he's not he's not allowing his last name to be put out but someone has
made a petition to the White House to make them stop this from happening
because it will essentially kill Tesla's business uh it is not a person from
Tesla it is someone who has investment in Tesla and plans on buying a Tesla
he's a he's a fan of Tesla but he's not actually an employee of Tesla motors
come on I just got to try and open this up so
right now the petition has 300 uh not
300 36,500 signatures it needs 100,000
signatures in the article it says that they had about like 10K or something but
since then it's gone up quite a bit I
just got to try and get the guy's name here we go article finally open three
what is this oh we got something hey
it's not opening when I press three it's not opening oh that's cuz that's the uh
oh I have you need Scene Three you have to click on it okay
sorry about that we got our uh we got our Vengeance Pro memory oh that's cool
yeah so anyway go ahead I basically finished the article I just wanted to
show people it once I finally got it on screen oh that's from cette why can't I
scroll there we go here let me get this
ah there who that got oh micro HDMI do
do hate it got caught on something there and oh it's borked now oh no oh micro
HDMI let's try that
wouldn't it be funny if that connector just hardcore broke there we go suck
hate micro USB hate micro
HDMI Vengeance Pro 2 by8 gig there we go
that's cool are we doing a video about it yeah we're going to do a video about it it's uh basically it's just got more
overclocking Headroom in it compared to normal yeah just compared to does it
have any lighting or anything uh no no it's just uh it's just clean looking um
overclocker friendly simple memory black PCB uh this one right here is an 1866 C9
kit 16 gigs cool okay
awesome all right should we do a Twitter Q&A Blitz sure people seem to like so so
guys send in your Twitter questions and we are going to do one more article in
the meantime so uh you you came up with
this one but I'm going to I'm going to go ahead and field it because it's an easy one sure uh so there's a teen from
Vancouver Island which happens to be very close to Vancouver not an island
which is where we live specifically from Victoria on Vancouver Island from
Victoria which happens to be the capital of BC although it shouldn't be because
it's on an island which is stupid uh so
this is an m macinski and macinski I
hope I said that right she has some kind of an accent that would indicate that
that's an appropriate last name for her and she has done something pretty cool
so this is a flashlight it has three LEDs there's actually a video on the
article this is on times columnist and uh so 3 LED flashlight that is powered
using only the heat given off by your hand when you hold it so she demos it at
the very end of the video just skip to the end because the whole beginning of
it so she was uh she's one of the 15 finalists uh of a of a list of 90
Regional finalists from around all over the world for Google Science F yeah so
so for Google's Global Science Fair and I just think it's really cool that she's
local and she explains how she she had to do a lot of analysis and testing for
how much heat per per square centimeter your heat gives off and then how much
heat you can use it sounds like she's basically using the pel effect right to
it certain I I didn't listen too closely but it did sound like it yeah so heating
one side cooling another side using ambient air and then generating an
electric current by doing that so she was able to determine that yes you could
build us a flashlight and she built the flashlight and all she does is hold it
and the LEDs go on it's not super bright or anything
but in some type of disaster kit or a bugout kit or something like that where
your batteries might run out and you might be left dry this is awesome
because if you're using your cell phone for a flashlight if you're if you're using a normal flashlight they both have
potential to run out of batteries and die oh and I think probably the most notable part of all of this is the fact
that she's 15 yeah so she's already a
100 times smarter than I'll ever be which is cool yeah that's awesome good
work we need people like that good work an yay flashlights real
bum na EA okay Twitter Q&A boom have you
tried out Windows 8.1 preview no I heard the start menu still isn't great
yeah and I mean honestly my issues with Windows 8 went a little deeper than just
that anyway so yeah uh if I had a sound
card and headset and SP 2500s would you get better Sound by plugging directly to
the sound card or can you use the sp2500 in good question if you have a sound
card with a headphone amp plug into it directly if you don't then it probably
doesn't matter uh and the sp2500 amp can help
you sounds about right yeah that's what I do I switch on the card instead of on
that it would be nice if I could but I don't want to if you ball a little bit
harder you could have an awesome sound card and an external headphone yeah
but and I barely use my computer that's the saddest part it's so nice though
that oh oh I love the essence one just even plugging like my in your Pros into
it they do sound better they do sound better it's just a yeah we're talking
about zoner Essence one it's awesome I love it it's totally awesome uh would
you recommend a Razer Kraken Pro or a steel series Siberia V2 as far as build
quality and sound quality goes um neither of those are really at the top
of my list as far as sound quality goes
neither of them are poorly built though um if I was looking for just kind of
like your your run-of-the-mill kind of gaming headset Siberia V2 is definitely
gets a thumbs up super lightweight very comfortable and it has a good mic those
to me are the gaming requirements if if
if if you're someone who spends a huge amount of time on voice chat people will
appreciate a good mic and I don't have any personal experience with the Kraken
Pro me neither but I have quite a few friends that have Siberia V2s because
they're pretty cost effective and the mics on them will not give that super
annoying snow effect to the entire chat room yeah the whole time you're in it
generally speaking if you buy a steel series headset you're getting a good mic
yeah that's I've never encountered one of theirs that doesn't have you seen the
aeve Q I have not yet sorry uh that's a
duplicate guys please avoid sending messages multiple times if we see that
we're not going to answer your message this is on here like four times uh Hey
from the UK hi UK hell 430 wat power
supply enough for this confi yeah should
be fine but I don't know if too many 430 w power supplies that aren't total like
bollocks so if it's a good one then
great and there we go thank you I think that's actually spelled wrong but that's
okay thaty yo guys watching the live stream from the UK hello hi hi to the UK
again should we really say hi to the same country twice yeah if they're
really cool yeah the UK is pretty cool
yeah uh oh my gosh we have 4,000 live
viewers can't be right you guys rock it
must be no it's not on there it's on here you it used to be on there that's
cool though yeah you guys are awesome apparently it's like that's why two
people from the UK are are talking to us
yeah uh is it normal for my 690 to not hit 100% usage on both gpus you want to
handle this one uh I do not an S very much but 100% normal yeah 100% normal
because SLI is only in very rare circumstances such as synthetic
benchmarks going to be able to fully utilize both gpus that is totally normal
don't worry about it look at the cores on your CPU too yeah same thing
yeah uh Sing me happy birthday we can't actually um yeah it's yeah it's like a
trademark copyright thing if we do that I don't even think it's that cheap no
it's not it's really expensive you're not all actually go look it up you're not allowed to sing Happy Birthday
that's why you've probably never heard it on TV or in a movie if you do hear it
in movies it's like it's they change it it's usually a big thing or they change
it like f Futurama it's like what day is to day it's Leela's birthday yeah it's a
something something something so let's all have some cake like you can't sing
it that's why Nobody Does it yeah uh will you be upgrading your rig anytime
soon no no I have a 590 and uh a
3970x I got eight ssds in raid zero I
got not a lot of lacking there dual rad quad
rad I have a Zonar um Zonar wow I don't
even remember what it's called anymore Zonar zense that's the one oh I didn't
know whether you're talking about the daak or the I have the essence one oh
yes Yes actually I upgraded my rig today
but I thought they weren't well they're not here yet but Oh I thought they like
I thought you weren't getting it oh no I I I left the back order in I'm I'm going
to just wait till there's another one uh so today I bought myself I treated
myself to 2 pb278 Q's oh that's got to be my favorite
monitor very low input leg beautiful IPS
panel or PLS panel rather um not not
calibrated out of the factory but I have a calibrator a good one too I have a
good calibrator so I'll be able to get pretty much Pro performance out of it
not quite um and it's 27 in the only thing I don't like about it is that it's
16 by9 and I really did think about going for PA 246s yeah just because of
the all the color depth oh um but anyway
I'm I'm going dual dual monitor which I've never done on my personal system
never done that do a monitor yeah it's nice it's really nice especially if you
get um okay I would highly recommend
display Fusion okay that's that thing I was talking about where we should do an
episode about that we should actually it's on Steam now too is it it's on
Steam software so any computer you go to you can be like bam display Fusion okay
tell them about it and don't point at that screen because they can't see it I I don't know enough about it like if
we're going to do a video about it I'll research it more but these are the things that I care about and the reasons
why I got it it can do a lot more than this but this is specifically why I
wanted it when I went to Windows 8 my favorite thing was that it would bring
start menu and taskbar on both your monitors and you could have independent
backgrounds running on both your monitors that's cool yeah display Fusion
can do that so I that was like the one reason you held out with Windows 8 for
so long wasn't it I had so many things like weren't
working I couldn't play certain games all this I had so many problems um which
ended up being a combination of things but it was including Windows 8 whatever
um so I went back to Windows 7 and bought display Fusion that was my that
was my thing so display Fusion is great whenever I go to use anyone else's
computer that has dual monitors I feel like I have a handicap now because I'm
like why can't I where's my start menu ah it's so annoying I I dis display
Fusion is amazing we'll do a video about it yeah so that's that's cool so someone
asks are SanDisk SSD is reliable SanDisk is one of the few SSD manufacturers that
actually owns Fabs so like all the other
guys who own Fabs my on Samsung they are
keeping the best for themselves I would say yes SanDisk ssds are a good way to
go uh you're awesome thank you Isaac you're awesome too he probably means
you're awesome too Yay good job he said
you're awesome too no I don't know uh please make a video of the gambus
headphones uh gambas is going to send us stuff once it's ready so going to happen
cool paint the wall green so you can make it a green screen and have fun with it that would actually be kind of cool
xsplit supports it natively remember the one time that we had my shirt that was
weird I don't know what caused that cuz I never changed the settings after yeah I don't know I'm just saying imagine
that happened the whole wall love the show says s thank you yay uh bought a
new keyboard CM Storm quickfire rapid with cherrymx black which switches do you prefer for gaming brown blue okay do
you think unified memory is going to come to PCS by Broadwell no no how much
will it cost to water cool a CPU and GPU custom Loop probably a few hundred bucks
yeah a little more if mCP 655 get a
proper pump yeah proper pump yeah no I agree and you can do the problem is you
can go to like any extent so it depends what you're going to do with it you
could go with a swift tack h220 add a GPU block that's 240 then you
probably still need another rad which you could probably get for 60 bucks use
no for Barb fittings that'll be really cheap CPU block will probably come with them yeah 300 using uh using a swift
Tech H2 220 uh get a GTX 760 or
7970 between those two I mean those aren't even in the same price range man
no that's crazy uh okay thoughts on Windows 8.1 I need
transparency uh I don't know if you're talking about AOG glass because I need
AOG glass too talking about reviewer
transparency um well I haven't tried 8.1 so I can't be transparent or opaque yeah
what do you think of Canadian service providers basically cheating the people with data my provider actually pretty
good um they've never really boned me
does service providers is he talking about ISP or phone could be either
neither of my I I use Shaw and I use Belle and neither of them have ever
really screwed me for ISP we've gone way
over our limit multiple times and Sha's just like man I'm sure we're doing it
here already yeah so they don't really seem to care Shaw at least doesn't seem
to care so that's awesome yeah it depends on your area it's just how
consumer friendly they are and out here it's for isps it's basically Shaw and
Tellis and Tellus is so good that they are bad that they'd make Shaw look good
no matter what Shaw did but Shaw seems to generally try to be pretty consumer
friendly which is nice which is nice uh phones you get screwed but everyone gets
screwed everywhere with phones so like it's not specifically bad here it's like
how would you like to be screwed is basically the conversation you get to
have when you go into the store yeah it's like like how exactly do you want
to get screwed over today screwed over this way you can choose diameters and
you can choose positions and you can choose whatever you want but at the end
of the day you're still getting screwed it's going to happen uh Jack Ellis asks
480s an SLI or 1760 and what happened to your model M so I'll take the first half
uh sure I'd go 760 uh way less heat
output way less power consumption um more modern solution
single card is generally better than dual Go part of how we dried the camera
when it got water damage was exhaust from a 480 that is not part of that is
how you dried up the camera so like that should speak enough to that answer the
model m is still it's like it's pretty
much rare in go the problem is the stabilizers on all the keys that need
stabilizers are broken all of them so what I need to do is the in general the
keyboard's in very good shape so I want to keep that one and what I want to find
is another model M who's maybe the pcb's broken or the connector's broken or
something that is disabling it from being able to work entirely and I want
to take the keys off of that and utilize the stabilizers on my current model M
which would make it fully functional and in very good shape so the still in
progress but I these are supposed to be like blitzes
but I have a 7970 GHz Edition I'm
planning to upgrade my CPU on this year's Black Friday what CPU would you
recommend gaming only um Mercia I'm afraid we're going to have to let you
know we need to know your current CPU that's really important so maybe post it
on the lineus tech tips Forum in fact everyone go go post something on the
lineus tech tips Forum now because the lineus tech tips form is awesome and
everyone should be a member of it we had actually I want to take a moment here
and be super proud of our Forum real quick there was a conversation on the uh
the new legislation in the US that was to do with homosexual marriage and as we
all know this is an extremely touchy topic it is very polarizing people get
super upset there was a 4 Page thread
that had a back and forth exchange between some of our members and it did
not get out of hand I was so impressed
we the mod team I I love my mod team they're all amazing but we watched these
kind of threads like Hawks cuz we don't want them to go out of the control but
I've seen a theme lately where we can let a lot of these style topics just
kind of go I mean on any other Forum that threads a a train wreck yeah it's a
train wreck and everyone hates each other by the end of it and generally
speaking our policy when we discussed it is we're not going to allow these
controversial topics really um to exist
on our Forum because we we don't want it to become a hate Fest if if you're
having a civil discussion we want a respectful Forum where people
itery it I mean that's fine that is so
cool like that's just really cool so yeah we we love that we love that um all
right moving right along is two or three monitor setup worth it for gaming
personally I prefer single monitor for gaming uh I have a two monitor setup
when I'm gaming my second monitor either is black or has like my voice comp chat
Windows on it so if Apple upgraded their 27inch Thunderbolt display to 5K for the
same price would you buy it sure that would be awesome
um uh no idea Gilbert sorry oh oh what
I'm putting in the uh okay what's a good power
supply dealership 750 is fine for
that uh tell slick it's called a dealership i' for I'd forgotten what the
name of the place was where you went to go buy cars okay
dealerships grocery stores grocery store
no just places where you buy things I'm helping you
Mall okay
kiosk we're improving slicks vocabulary one step at a time I mean you'd be
looking for a dealership you'd have to comb that town with a brick asking
people where they're where the dealership
is where's where's that place where you like go look at cars and stuff uh Ethan
asks if we'll sign a side panel if we pay for shipping honestly dude you don't
want to pay for shipping to us it's going to be like so expensive couple hundred bucks don't do it uh good
mechanical keyboard for $180 anything you want yeah man go for it and 7990
benchmarks we're actually you know what here I'm going to I'm going to stop the Twitter Blitz because I want to talk
about this 7990 benchmarks we can't really run them properly because we
don't have a frame capture setup sorry keep going I mean it's on the bench
right there yeah uh in fact if I if I aim this at it you might be able to see
it kind of there it is you can't really tell what it is but that is it that's a$
7990 on a test bench um we can't do it
yet and we need a $2,000 capture card so we've been having some discussions we're
talking about maybe doing a Kickstarter to help us afford one we've been trying
to find a sponsor to help us afford one
it's hard as a sponsor to show that out justify that I mean we did have a
sponsor step up and provide with four ssds that we could use for this because
you need that type of storage solution to be able to like it's hard to properly
test frame rating on graphic card um because right now the numbers we'd get
would be kind of useless yeah but what we were thinking about doing in the
meantime is benchmarking it and then doing a double blind test with him and
then a double blind test with me to see if that difference between the reported
FPS and the perceived FPS which we can't measure but we all know exists is
something that we can perceive so we were going to do a blind taste test 7990
versus GTX Titan to see which one we
think feels faster or if we can even tell so I thought that might be a cool
angle we're going to do like dual 780s yeah so that it's a similar price range
and two cards it's not of course a combined card but it's still two cards
we still need another 780 for that we still need another 780 well we'll figure out something two Titans we have to do s
we have another 780 in the mail though yeah okay so we'll do two 780s but like
that's we were thinking of doing that so that there's no investment cuz we can't
buy a $2,000 capture card um but yeah um
know so yeah we do Kickstarter something we we are trying to release benchmarks
of this kind of stuff and we want to release higher-end graphics card
benchmarks like higher end as in not the graphics card but as in the theory that
goes into it yeah we want to be more scientific yeah we just can't right now
we're going to have to Blitz some topics here sure um did you do the ISP New
Zealand no okay let's do that let's get
it on so where did my live stream do there it is there we go so there's an
ISP in New Zealand that is releasing a I think it's called global mode it's
somewhere in there I think it's called global mode which hides your location
and allows you to access services that are uh country bound everyone's seen on
YouTube well not everyone but people have seen on YouTube where it's like you can't watch this video in your region or
anywhere else really that's really annoying plac like Comedy Central Comedy
Central for the longest time South Park was streamable in Canada then it got Ned
then it got nixed yeah so this will allow you to view it wherever stuff like
Netflix I know uh I think net Netflix US requires a United States credit card now
or something possibly something's going on there but like other services that
just check for your region it's allowing you to get around it and it's at the ISP
level I know there's other ways to do this it's not the idea isn't completely
revolutionary but it's very streamlined which is cool that's very cool so the
way that they're marketing this is as a service that allows visitors to New
Zealand to access the same online services that they would at home yes wow
that's sketch as balls I don't think anyone believed
that but uh that's very cool I mean speaking of isps that are actually
trying to do something to help their customers as opposed to just maintain
the status quo that's very cool and out of out of Australia New Zealand of all
places where typically internet policy wise they've been in the dark ages for a
while for well since the Dark Ages um no
offense to anyone from there but I think you guys know better than us yeah how
horrible it is there so we have 4,400 live viewers right now that's I think a
record so I think so I think so you guys
are awesome awesome yeah so let's move into our next topic which
is 21-year-old receives a $25 million
funding this is from a bunch of different corporations it's a bunch of different groups $25 million for a
payment app they're not releasing a lot of information about it but basically he
his whole thing is that he's been frustrated having to carry around a
wallet with credit cards and cash in it and he wants to be able to do it through your phone this type of thing has been
kind of flopped around for a really long time I'm interested it's going to a
21-year-old and not something like Google wallet or
PayPal yeah because this I think it's called clinkle or clinky or something
like that clinkle clinkle it's so it's going to be a new app there isn't a ton
of information about it yet it's not even out yet it's not even developed yet
fully the clinkle website said it says it is rebuilding the analog wallet from
the ground up to bring you the future of payment and dupin dupin Lucas whatever
okay first name Lucas is keeping quiet about what it actually does so there's
something big coming if all these there's it it names a few players in
there I don't remember who but there's a bunch of big companies putting big money
behind this okay so Intel former
Facebook coo Owen vanata and wireless
technology company qualcom have all invested their money and faith in him so
like yeah this is going to be a big deal
like whether you want it to happen or not this is going to be a big deal huh
very cool so soon I think we will have the option to pay with things with our
phone so get this at the same time like we're at such a Crossroads at the same
time you will be be able to pay with
metal you'll be able to pay with paper you'll be able to pay with plastic
you'll be able to pay with plastic electronically you'll be able to pay by
writing on a piece of paper that you commit to pay it I mean come on checks
still exist really and you'll be able to pay just by like whipping out your phone
this is very interesting cuz when I was in Korea they had this thing called t-
money I don't have it on me but it's basically it looks like a credit card or
you can get other forms of it which are dong are you sure it wasn't like a US
rapper on that tea P I know it's t money right it sounds so ridiculous money t
money um so it's so I was paying for my
stuff and then I got bored so I pulled out my wallet and then came the hoorde
of people who were making me not able to pay so I thought I'd make an app called
crinkle happy day that's actually pretty
good L money L money L money thank you
there you go okay so basically what it was was you'd tap it on whatever you had
to pay for you could go certain stores supported this someone says worst worst
freestyle ever come on that was pretty
good that was pretty good okay you you can pay for certain things for it at
stores you could pay for taxis with it you could pay for uh any form of Transit
and like it's awesome it was very cool and all you had to do was tap it on the
thing I believe it was through NFC like
so cool and it was so easy it was so easy to load it we down 1200 viewers
they all laugh CU your W no I'm just kidding but yeah something like so so
that exists it already exists so and I think it's done through NFC right so if
it's NFC off your phone it basically already exists and
payp pass already exists yeah which I don't know what it's branded as there
but when you take your credit card and you just wirelessly yep so we're already
pretty much there it's just moving it onto your phone yeah so we're we're heading in that direction very cool
stuff um so no we did lose about 100
viewers though that's a shame I guess I shouldn't wrap anymore uh next topic
is here we go connect for PC and connect for Xbox
will be different now I think I'm going to let you handle this because I already
knew this um because I talked to them when we were at computex about it but go
ahead and talk about this I I didn't see
anything in it about this the article that I read about it was fairly critical
yeah um well I would think so yeah but it there could there could be something
with different functionality there could be something else going on I'm not
really sure but it's not releasing for a while so connect for Xbox One for those
of you who didn't catch the headline because we didn't say it yet will not
work on PCS now we saw the connect SDK
the the kit which included a connect for PC at computex but it was old connect
not connect for Xbox one I didn't see so this is yet another example of Microsoft
holding back the PC on purpose
and why and it's not releasing for a long time and the dev Kit's going to be
400 bucks like which is like someone's going
to hack an Xbox One Connect before they spend $400 on a devkit they're already
hacking yeah oh to get the new SDK on it
I don't that would be no I mean uh to to be able to do something with it I would
think I think someone will sooner hack Hardware hack an adapter to be able to
plug in the Xbox One Connect into a computer or something or something um oh
of course Hardware hackers May well develop their own bam that's uh that i'
like that's people are going to try because that's crazy yeah I'm uh I'm I'm
I'm pretty frustrated with Microsoft's General Behavior I mean the kinds of
things that something like connect let's
just call it connect one sure connect one which is the second
one uh connect one like the kinds of things that would en able on the PC
things like online shopping being able virtual fitting room for clothing things
like way better than the previous one I mean things like um you know I mean even
VR Gaming from like a very basic
rudimentary standpoint the Omni uses it to track your feed Omni uses it I mean
we're not going to be able to use I mean and it's a good thing Omni is working on
their own or virtu ex working on their own solution for motion tracking they
need to move away from it now they can't use connects old connect anymore
apparently like it's that's ridic ridiculous to me and like and like the
stuff people have hacked U what do we even want to call it now correct connect
original um to be able to do is very
helpful for a lot of people yeah a lot of disabled people have been using
original connect to interface with their computer that's the thing that Microsoft
was demoing at computex is what connect can be used for in like medical
applications oh but they don't need HD I
gu it's like what are you thinking yeah like okay they are going
to release it that's it's just way in
the future really offensive so uh anyway
uh moving right along to our next topic
here uh Samsung releases their Flawless
curved 55 in TV so let's go ahead and
show you guys this so basically they're making the same kinds of claims as LG so
that is that a curved display will give a more natural viewing experience
because your eyes will be an equal dist from the screen uh regardless of which
part of the screen you're looking at um I personally don't find for something
like a 55 in size at the distance that I sit from it that it becomes much of a
factor but for something like a theater obviously it's a big deal or if I was
sitting much closer to the screen however I mean I think it's you know
it's it's cool it'll be interesting to see how that how that works out for them
and then the other thing about this monitor is they are claiming that it is
quote unquote Flawless so because of the
way that they've designed it the potential for defective OLED pixels is
quote unquote eliminated so we may be
moving towards and this is really cool we may be moving towards the future
where you don't buy a tier one display that has a dead pixel on it yeah I mean
that's awesome that's cool yeah that's really cool so uh so there you go it's
it's going to be priced at 15 million Korean wand so about 1300 us which is
not that outlandish when you consider what guys were asking for 4K TV not that
long ago what did Sony want for this 20 grand 40 Grand I think it was 40 I could
be wrong but it was huge it was huge it was like way out of my price range to be
a year early basically yeah it's like
yeah
no thank you I'll I'll wait a bit yeah I'm
good uh okay let's go you know what let's do
razor surround or no no let's do that at the end uh why don't you do the torrent
freak article okay so the torrent freak article yeah at& gets the patent to
Monitor and track file sharing traffic oh okay I thought you were talking about the other torent I can think of I can
think of companies that I'd rather have the patent on that technology than AT&T
and like they haven't talked about whether or not they've been using it already cuz they just have the patent
okay they haven't been like we are going to deploy it or we have already deployed
it or whatever they're just signing up for the patent this could be already
running it could be running in the future it like no one really
knows um but yeah whether the company is
already using the system to track infringing content or has plans to do so
is unknown and if they have been tracking infringing content they could
all have all that in logs so a lot of people could be getting in trouble so in
the patent AT&T notes that peer-to-peer traffic amounts for a large percent
percentage of traffic generated on the internet some of which results in a loss
for copyright holders for example some content may be legitimately purchased
and downloaded by users via P2P however some content may be pirated illegally
copied and distributed P PTP violating
copyright laws etc etc AT&T system will be able to detect what is downloaded on
PTP networks suggesting that this information can be used to track and
counter piracy based on the verification the
list may be modified etc etc etc the present disclosure may be used to etc
etc etc so guys if it is worth noting
it's worth or it's worth nothing rather that AT&T participates in the six
strikes copyright alert system where P2P users are also monitored the main
difference is that under that program the monitoring is carried out by the
thirdparty company which only tracks a list of titles supplied by the npaa and
the riaa now they track everything now they can just track everything and they
can do it dynamically so they can actually generate a list of what is
being pirated rather than relying on a
to monitor yeah so they can use this to infringe upon you however they would
like and they can use this to throttle the crap out of your connection if they
feel like it yeah which is do we have
build logs of the week I don't see them in the uh we do but the PowerPoint is
not ready the PowerPoint is not ready yeah cuz I was doing it as we were
leaving NC okay why why don't I talk about razor surround and then we'll wrap
up with build Vlogs of the week okay um yeah we had a pretty good day at NCI
today we got a lot of cool stuff done yep so guys check this out if you've
ever wondered about sort of whether you should buy a a two a stereo headset or a
surround headset the answer for me has always been if anyone can sort of fill
in the blank for me here let's see anyone on uh anyone on Twitch something
something something anyone on Twitch blah blah blah nope no no if anyone can
okay I always say guys you got two ears
that's how many speakers you need when the speakers are right next to them
however software surround is a thing so
if you check out the Virtual Barber Shop tour or whatever it's called on YouTube
and you're wearing headphones it's a very cool experience it really does feel
like you're you're in an environment and
that can be done in software I mean that one wasn't done in software if I recall
correctly it was done using a microphone array but that can be simulated in
software up until now we've relied on individual headphone manufacturers to
provide that software to us so for example Corsair with the Vengeance 2000
headset has Dolby headphone technology that was not in it and then added later
as a as a software upgrade so they haven't changed the headset in any way
what Razer has decided to do is
just sort of go okay well we're not going to we're not going to sort of
worry about any of that anymore we're just going to do surround software
surround for every headset so I haven't
tried it yet I just heard about it the other day and I'm pretty excited to try
it uh razor surround for Child's Play charity has apparently raised 50 ,000 to
date that's kind of cool that's awesome play is great speaking of Charity lineus
Tech tips for charity has been down for a couple months we haven't done a donation but we should probably do
something soon and then I think we're probably going to close out that program
because it doesn't seem to be making any kind of a difference so a few people are
pretty hardcore about it other than that no one seems to really yep so I mean
it's it's one of those things where you know yeah we uh we we we thought we were
going to kind of do something that was going to kind of make some kind of a difference but it was uh it was a bit of
a bit of a failure in terms of the effect that we were hoping that it would have and how excited people were going
to get about it so anyway razor surround gives Gamers the best virtual 7.1
Channel surround sound experience with any stereo headphones and I'm reading this off their site so I don't actually
know that it's the best I haven't tried it yet using state-of-the-art technology
the sound sound algorithms powering razor surround creates an unbelievably
accurate surround sound environment and allows Gamers to calibrate positional sound to match their own unique
preferences I've seen these in software surround Solutions before where you can
actually move around the speakers and decide exactly where you want the sound sound's coming from I think that a lot
of Hardcore Gamers will still prefer to
have um no processing delay on the sound whatsoever and have this just stereo
sound out of two speakers or even earbuds because that actually gives you
very strong positional audio as well but
for gamers that are looking for more like the experience like if you're
playing games like Skyrim as opposed to
Counterstrike something like this can improve immersion I mean when we're
talking surround sound plus Omni plus
Oculus for experience type games uh this
is this is just very very cool and I think it's really neat that they don't
lock it down to razor headphones so if you want to use beay Dynamics or
Sennheiser or even direct Razer competitors like guys like steel series
or Logitech razer's kind of going okay go for it we don't care you don't
have to buy any razor Hardware at all but we've got Razer comms now razor
I mean synapse I think relies on their Hardware but other than that they've got comms and Surround and comms is quite
excellent comms is actually the software we be using to test our call-in feature
in the Afterparty so guys stick around if you want to try um if you want to see
how it works because I don't think we're going to allow general public to call in just yet you done with that yet I have
to find it you have to find it I got it I got it usually I save it I know it's
weird but usually I save it to my download folder what's it called June 28th build doogs Friday June 28th it
should be in the live stream agendas folder live stream agendas folder that's
okay I got this i got this boom okay we are on this so it never really looks
that great when we open it this way but this is the fast we're going to open it
properly because it never looks that great when we open it this way wait you
said that right good work I won't have to fire you today I
haven't fired you in a long time
nope so this is a oh this is a
wallmounted Home Server can they see me
they can see you changing this is a wall mounted Home
Server which is freaking amazing all of these by the way so this is by user uh
comp LX this his computer name is vx-4
this is a wall 4 dyslexia for the win
yeah EA okay um that was awesome if you you
should go check out all of these ones actually this week especially you should
go check out the actual build because I tried to get photos that you could see
the whole thing in but there is way better photos to see specific parts of
the build and to see specific features and to get way closer that is cool so he
actually took the stickers off the drives just to make it look more clean
and space AED and futuristic sleeved cables which again you can't see that
great in this but there is zoomed in shots that look way way better cool it
looks like it's built into like a Wii Balance Board or something some uh I
think he custom made it fan control there all the cables uh bundled together
nicely at the bottom here here yeah and I I believe that the lights on the
outside can change like it's it's
awesome this build is very cool we had a ton of we have a whole bunch of builds
that are currently in progress that are on the way and these are a few of them
that just got completed which are great awesome um this is another one this is
another one where you have to see the other angles of the system because I
picked this one so that you could see that there is another side because with
a two-sided when you're supposed to look at it from two different sides you kind
of need to see different angles those sleeved cables on that video card yep
wow like this build is amazing okay someone's got a pmm and tell them to
remove those cheesy SLI covers I didn't even notice that that that's okay I mean
I'm not trying to be critical man but beautiful build you got to see the other
side as well there's a big Radiator on the back that tubing and oh that Accent
blue right there that blue water I love this this is fantastic is this metal
Construction I should have checked that I do not know
but it looks like it wow and there's no way it's wood what a cool build okay
guys so go check out ZD mods's build and then we see a lot of r4s but you'll know
exactly what happened with this immediately is look at the back so he
pulled out the entire back of the case to put a triple Alpha cool Radiator in
there doesn't need a graphics card apparently cuz this is a server build
there you go and what what I couldn't includeing this is the back panel of the
computer because you can see up at the top there that he has nicely sleeved
cables now if you see the back he has amazing runs going to his hard drives
they look you have to see the picture like I can't look at this 24 pin that's
beautiful the way that it curves away like that yep and he did uh lacing
lacing that looks amazing you got you got to check out the build you got to see the back and you got to see his uh
little lacing guide that he's got very very cool wow that's very awesome so
this this week was crazy we don't usually do three builds this week was
nuts okay so guys I think that pretty
much wraps it up um thank you for
watching the live stream and guys uh stay tuned for the Afterparty if you
want to watch us play video games and sort of uh yeah if that's basically all
you want to do right now we're we're going to play video games we're going to test the call-in feature oh we're going
to test the call-in feature so you're you'll basically just be seeing how it's going to work for next week which might
be a leg up they know how it works maybe they'll have a chance to to call in
maybe um I still yeah I yeah I still am
G to be interested to see how this works but uh yeah it might just totally not
work it did work in our test it did work in our test so thank you guys for being
awesome and all tuning in and if you do prefer we won't be upset if you go and
watch the tech which to my understanding releases around this time Logan's
awesome and we also won't be upset if you go watch the Star Citizen 24-hour
stream which is on right now they're they're doing a big website overhaul and
a 24-hour stream where they're giv some big updates which we've been missing
because we're here um but yeah so that that's another option as well I'm so
stoked on Star Sy yeah I'm did you see the The 300i Cinematic nope holy crap I
haven't actually watched or looked at anything you have to see this cinematic
anyone who's interested in Star Citizen recent update just came out
300i holy cow is that the ship I'm getting no oh I don't think so I think
it's the ship I'm getting constellation 300i I thought or maybe it is I'm pretty
sure that's my ship 300i I might be quoting the wrong name
as well oh but I think a few of the names are super
similar 300i cinematic I mean we could do this on the
Afterparty we should probably okay we should do this on bye thanks for
watching
