oh that's a good there we go hey I'm still on time it's still 4:30 so instead
of being 1 minute early I'm on time okay hold up hold up now I got to
see if it's
working it is there we go so instead of
being 10 minutes early I was then one minute early and then instead of being
one minute early I was basically exactly on time so that kind of worked
out hello everyone welcome to the W show
you might notice that today I am acting as lonus I'm pretty bad at acting as
Linus so I'm just going to revert exactly back to acting as Luke he's over
there um building a thing can they know about the thing uh what the hell sure
okay so he's building a lonus tech tips themed computer which oh that's not what
I'm doing today this is seven Gamers one CPU oh
it's super looks like it's line of SE tip them yeah I kind of did that too
okay so he's building a kind of not really the point of the video but also
slightly linest techtip themed computer which is seven Gamers one CPU they can
know that and can they know where it's being shown off at sure yeah hey they're
they're W show viewers they're the loyal ones where is it where is it being it's
going to be at Kingston's thing Kingston CES okay it's gonna be shown off at CES
at Kingston's like Booth or thing or whatever they have whatever it is that
they have will be there we'll be covering that be sure to check out uh
youtube.com/ Linus techtips for all of our CES coverage there's going to be
tons of it I think it's like over 60 videos this year that we're planning to
do so yeah and if some of the rumors
turn out to be true some cool things could be happening I think
ASUS and is it Gigabyte I'm going to
have to check into my dock here real quick but they might both be jumping
into the headset space I don't know if they're going to have yeah ASUS and
gigabite gig gigabite as and Gigabyte might both be
launching VR devices in 2016 this is a rumor topic I'm going to drop that in
the chat no I'm not we're going to intro the video which I totally forgot to do
welcome to the W show I think I already said that part we have some cool topics
apple is kind of I don't know possibly being dicks and they're being sued for
it lawsuit whatever China is being really weird and creepy and weird and
it's probably not fine valve is losing
Grace a little bit especially with total biscuit and TP-Link is apparently going
to be making phones because I actually
have no idea why anyways
intro the Beautiful
not pretty cool yeah okay and we're back
uh yeah it's just me today so that's
cool I was trying to emulate the guy from Fallout 4 there but I don't think I did a very good job anyways I'm going to
share this topic in the dock we're going to talk about Apple hitting uh Apple
being hit with a lawsuit over iOS 99's performance on older phones I think
particularly um the iPhone 4 because of
how bad it performs with iOS 9 iPhone 4
doesn't have iOS 9 that's literally what the topic is
about really
yeah this topic might have a problem my
four doesn't didn't get the update it's lit
okay blame the title of the
topic is Apple hit with lawsuit over iOS 99's performance on older iPhones and
then the third note is after upgrading software iPhone 4S have apparently
become so slow they are unusable for day-to-day
conditions we're going to pretend that topic didn't happen moving forward a new
law force is Chinese companies to provide encryption keys so I'm going to
post that in the top in the chat really quick um we're going to just pretend for
now that I guess uh Apple isn't having a
lawsuit being shot against them I guess
that's fine I'm going to show you guys the article but it's really boring
because it's literally just text so we're going to jump back here um
basically I don't as far as I can tell there you don't have to like submit all
of your passwords and encryption Keys all the time it's just if they ever ask
for them you have to immediately give them over encryption Keys passwords
whatever it's part of a new legislature apparently Kazakhstan is the only other
nation that has done this and they're claiming that the only other nation that
has compromised encryption for Citizens data uh com encryption of citizens data
for the sake of the state I think some people would argue
that that is happening elsewhere as well but you know I don't know um they're
claiming that oh no no no we're not installing any back doors but uh in my
opinion it's not any better to forcibly take the key for the front door so I
don't know um for those of you in chat
wondering where lonus is he's literally right there but he's a little bit too
busy to be on W show I'm going to reiterate what I talked about earlier
he's building a computer that is for seven people to play on one computer you
guys might have seen a video that wow I'm really used to pointing in the top
right hand corner whenever I reference videos but you guys might have seen a
video where he built one computer for two people he's scaling that up a bit
I'm not going to tell you all the hardware exactly included um I actually
only know probably one type of the components of the hardware that's
included but that's fine um and there's yeah it's pretty cool it's orange and
black it looks LTT themed but that's not really the point he just really likes
those colors and it's going to be shown off at the Kingston hyperx area at CES
where we're going to be covering a huge amount of videos over 60 I think is what
Nick said in the meeting I just had with him and I think it's like over 60
minimum so we'll see how that goes
anyways back to China um yeah they're
required to hand over encryption keys and passwords when requested by the government so like I said it's not like
a a constant thing anytime you set an encryption key you don't have to
constantly hand it over but it's not like that's really any better uh they're
claiming that it won't damage people's freedom of speech or
religion but it's China so I don't
really want to get into politics I think that's all I'm going to say about that um government also says that it won't
violate their uh anyone's intellectual property rights um and it's going to be
coming into effect January 1 so you have uh is it January 1 in China already
so yeah so good luck with that if you're
in China I think that's already applied so GG although if you're in China and
you're able to watch this stream and uh yeah that's pretty good I guess total
biscuit apparently teres valve a new one and I watch the video and he definitely
does and to be completely honest they kind of deserve it um I'm going to post
the lonus tech tips topic for this if the forum's even up right now oh it's a
little slow but it's working oh that's good enough going to post that in the
chat um basically what he talks about
isn't necessarily he says that it's bad that
it happened but the main thing that he's saying is that it's
bad uh how they responded to it they
didn't tell people very quickly uh they didn't even respond to it I think until
after total Biscuit's video and a lot of people are speculating that that's the
reason why they responded to it CU that was a huge uh PR nightmare for them
anyways on December 15th steam found that the network had malfunctioned
that's a weird way of saying that uh their caching started having issues they
Ed an external service an external company to manage their caching it
lasted for about an hour before valve had to shut down steam to fix it uh
valve didn't release a statement until December 30th so that 5 days later seems
like at a fairly excessive amount of time uh it was a configuration error
there was I think 2,000 times the
average traffic on the store than there normally is largely due to the sale and
also because of a Dos or a Dos attack that hit them so they tried to set up a
different caching configuration to help manage that and that actually helped a
little bit but not enough so they applied another one a second caching configuration that one had problems and
basically 34,000 users were affected if you didn't log in at that point in time
if you didn't go to the store at that point in time you're fine it wasn't you
um the contents that were on those pages very varied quite heavily but it was
some personal information which is not great billing addresses last four digits
of phone numbers uh purchase histories last two digits of credit card numbers
uh full names all of that kind of stuff
I was working with like I said a web caching partner to uh help mitigate
stuff and they're working with that same partner to try to identify the individual victims uh of this problem
the one of the things was as well that it wasn't like someone find a found a
day Zero way to get through a problem it
was anyone that was using the store if you went navigated to another page you
might just randomly get dumped on another user's session that being said
everything was in more or less a readon mode because if you tried to change
anything it would realize that you weren't in the right session and then
nothing would happen so there were some people online claiming that they were wh
knighting and deleting people's uh customer information to help protect
them no there's absolutely no evidence
of that happening and it doesn't actually make any logical sense that it could have happened so no that wasn't a
thing um what total biscuit was trumpeting here was that it's a
giant problem people being able to see other people's information because of
stuff like uh swatting that has happened
lately and if this information got dumped into a big website or something
and someone pissed you off online and you looked up their name and you happen to be able to get all of their
information like their address their full billing address address which is
probably where they live uh you would be able to Swatch them which
is very true it hurts me to talk about
this because we had our security breach not even that long ago four months ago
five months ago really bad with time frames maybe less than that three months
ago two months ago something like that I don't know whatever we had a security
breach it was not good but in our
defense I think we responded quite quickly and quite heavily we sent a PM
to every single user on the Forum we tried to send an email to every single
user on the Forum but randomly surprisingly sending out that many
emails kind of got us detected by a few spam services so they didn't necessarily
hit everybody unfortunately um and we put like big red banners all over the
place telling people that bad things were going on
um yeah valve's response was less than
satisfactory they responded to I think
Kotaku or someone Gamespot or something
like a afterwards and didn't address any of the individual users and then finally
I'm going to post this in the chat they posted a statement as a all games news
update which like when they're interesting I find these things on like
Reddit or the Forum and outside of that
basically never see them because I don't know why I would go there so they posted
this it's called update on Christmas issues and this is where they talk about
everything that happened how it happened yada y y
it's just bad form and one thing that total biscuit talks about as well is
that Steam and valve kind of have more or less of a cult following considering
we you know we've talked about making a bronze statue of Gab Ben I think I would
have to agree that that is true um a lot of our Christmas songs were directly to
gab Ben um because we replaced de's
names with G Ben so I don't know might
have some truth there and he's saying that they might be falling out of Grace lately with a few
things that they've done and yeah I don't know having literally one of the
world's worst customer support systems for a company of this size and doing
things like this is not helping
them it's Gabe Newell for like the two people in chat that are legitimately
confused and the 18 people in chat that are trolls
um yeah anyways moving onwards TB link
is apparently making smartphone next year under the
nephos line of branding
um why are they going to do this personally I don't really know but I'll
tell you why they think they're going to do this in a moment there's the uh
article right there so TPL link claims
that they hold 42.9% market share on Wi-Fi products that doesn't necessarily
mean you're going to be good at rking smartphones that's not part of their
notes um but that's just something I wanted to say they're saying that
they're brand brand will offer a userfriendly design that is smart and
simple um I guess they didn't really look into the Firefox OS line of phones
or else they realize that that one isn't a new angle and two I don't know if
anyone's asking for that because Samsung Child Mode is like actually surprisingly
good and if you want an ultra spun down
phone you can just try that I guess yeah
I I honestly don't understand why they
think this is a good idea not only is the smartphone market right now super
super saturated but if you've watched anyone that's reviewed smartphone lately
smartphones lately I think minus has even said this himself there isn't a lot
of differentiation between them everyone's just like well this is a
new version of Android that'll get outdated as you use your phone because updates for Android are terrible it has
xpressor and Y whatever just like the same as everybody else does and that's
about it hooray so what are you going to
do make a not as good smart phone is that what simple and easy to use
actually means smart and simple is that a not as good smartphone I don't know if
anyone's asking for that I don't know uh enjoying my show
today it's kind of fun being an outsider I like reading this article I
actually had to do fact checking to make sure that it was real and someone wasn't
just like trying to make a hype train thing because CES is coming soon and
they're like let's just make all the rumor announcements we can to get all
the traffic that we can but no it it seems to be real which is is weird yeah
they haven't commented on whether or not they'll be targeting budget or mid
segment or high segment smartphones um
I'm going to assume it's going to be budget or mids segment smartphones
because of the smart and simple side of things I love that they're saying that
they're going to be making smart smartphones that's kind of funny um
president of TPL link Jeff Chow says that the intention of nephos is
establishing a seamless connection between people and devices
so basically TP-Link Jeff Chow the
president said literally nothing um so
that was really helpful Jeff thank you for saying that um New York is finally
installing its promised public Wi-Fi uh apparently they announced this in 2014
so I don't know if the finally is like necessarily really needed there because
it's going to be two years in like a few hours if you live where I live and
that's not that bad for establishing massive Wi-Fi across an entire massive
City like New York um apparently they are going to be oh did I share this I
think I shared this still I'm going to try to share this I did not share this I
will share the thingy in the in the chat thingy in a second thingy it's from The
Verge so that's uh that's cool I guess
if you like The Verge the rge is pretty
cool uh I should have had a most for
this but I didn't that's probably fine
so uh they have to establish 7500 hubs
throughout the city uh on December 28th workers began installing the first link
NYC access points the idea here is replacing uh telephone booths with these
things they have Giant ad screens on the side what's like 55 in ad screens that
note has apparently been taken out of the dock it was here at one point in
time I don't know why it's there it is never mind I'm lying sorry Colton um
hubs will include USB charging reports touchscreen web browsing which how long
is that going to work for and two 55 in
ad displays the city's estimating that they will make $500 million in Revenue
over the uh next 12 years so that's
pretty significant although I'm sure it will cost a fair amount to get gigabit
Wi-Fi which is what they're claiming basically all over the place there's
been some controversy this part was taken out of the dock but I I requested
for part of it to be taken out so I understand why it happened there's been some controversy that smaller uh smaller
bourbon I think is what they it Suburban bourbon I don't know smaller bourbon
areas are not getting the reported speeds that they were promised that
sucks I'm I'm sorry while you pat your tears with your free public Wi-Fi that
it's not quite as fast as they promised um I would definitely complain if I
lived in New York but I don't really feel that bad for you when I live out
here and that's never going to be a thing anyways I think it's pretty cool
I'm happy that they found a way to profit off of it because if I was someone who lived in that City I
wouldn't want this to just necessarily be a giant financial burden on the city
and having 255 in advertisement displays while you might not like advertisements
in your city you live in New York they're probably everywhere anyways so I don't really think it's that big of a
deal um Google is trying to ditch passwords this is kind of super weird
and also interesting I'm going to post that in the chat for a second and maybe
actually show this one up on the screen although uh keeping a TR going might not
be a bad idea so I could just have you guys stare at my face while I look at
the screen down below me this whole time it sounds like a great idea uh basically
what they're planning on doing is using
your smartphone as your login device a
lot of people are using the Google Authenticator already but what this will
do is make it so that say you want to log into uh your email on a laptop you
would type in your email attempt to log in then it would push a notification to
your phone you would pull that notification down press the yes button
possibly select a number and then it would log you in on the desktop actually
kind of interesting no need for passwords anymore the idea is actually
removing passwords and then your password would more be a fallback so if
say someone stole your phone you could use your password to remove your phone
as a login device which is actually kind
of interesting there isn't a ton of information out right now as to like how
it works exactly what it's doing any of that kind of stuff I'm going to try to
find did you not put it in here oh I think he did awesome yay Colton thank
you Colton so once this loads okay so
this is what you would see so you see your Google signin page uh I don't know
why he put his email in here where it's easy to see for everyone this is not
Colton's email um but anyways that's
fine so you go to log in but as you can see there's no password field you just
click next it tells you to check your phone tap yes and then tap 21 on your
phone to log in so I'm assuming it will have a yes button which you press in
your notification tray and then I'm assuming that it will give you a grid of
numbers and you then select the correct one and it lets you log in in your
desktop um this is the trying to sign in
notification that you would see on your phone here's the yes button for signing
out another computer oh there we go I had actually seen these before he showed
me these like right before I went live so what number do you see on your screen
it's asked for 21 so you press press 21
and then boom you're logged in I actually think it's pretty neat um right
now I'm just using crazy ridiculous passwords for all my things that I can't
remember anyways and I have a password manager remember them
so this seems fine actually for me I
like the idea of having that fall back password that they were talking about where you can quickly remove the ab
ability to do this from whatever phone
you may or may not have lost because that is extremely important having
something set up so that you can remove the easy to login things that are out
there that should be secured because they should be on your person all the time is a very good idea the only thing
that worries me here is if you're say in
a foreign country and you lose your phone while you're out and about somewhere and can't get back to a
computer very quickly and someone's able to steal all your stuff quickly that
kind of sucks but at the same time you should have security on your phone in some degree whether that's a passcode or
a fingerprint or whatever preferably a fingerprint those have been pretty
badass lately
um this is a little bit of a controversial topic so I'm going to have
to two-step this one and make sure that I don't do it horribly so that literally
everyone in twitch chat tries to stab me
or doesn't try to stab me so give me a moment dumped that in chat I'm now going
to give you guys the controversial
title to handle VR graphics gaming PCs
have to be seven times more powerful okay that's not a controversial title at
all let me jump back here and read the controversial title that's in the top uh
the dock NVIDIA says Gameworks VR will help adoption expects 25 million PC
Gamers to adopt VR and jumping back to
the article okay so NVIDIA Gameworks VR does
have some really cool Technologies in it um but as everyone in the tech Bas has
probably known for a long time now NVIDIA Gameworks is not the easiest
thing for AMD to work with ever uh there's arguments that go on both sides
there is people looking at Tomb Raider and showing tress effects which was open
and NVIDIA's performance being a little bit lower and then they were able to patch up and fix it and then they're
showing Gameworks titles where uh AMD
was doing fine compared to NVIDIA but then Gameworks gets added last minute
and then AMD doesn't do as well blah blah blah I think it's a little bit
strong fisted to say that Gameworks VR
will help overall adoption I like some ideas behind it
like being able to make uh VR games more efficient and run better and all this
kind of stuff that's those are good ideas uh but if you're trying to help
overall adoption and closing off performance Windows to part of the
potential audience that might not end up
helping adoption I don't know why Taran is standing behind that you can just
join me Taran what are you doing this is W show yeah is this live
yeah but it's not Friday wait this is
like no because tomorrow's New Year's are you coming in to work tomorrow Taran
yes are you yes you are too yes all
three of us why didn't we just do the way show tomorrow if you're all going to be here cuz I'm going to be doing this
all day I have another one you're not oh wow what do you mean you have another
one you mean your personal build rig there's two builds I thought that was
the last build do I have to edit both of them I don't know yet I'm working on it
oh no I've been editing all day every day is this your like need to
walk around break cuz you're going crazy yes okay you can just take that I can be
yours now oh but you're putting it on you well I'm the
sheriff so uh what are we talking about here we're talking about games Works VR
and uh VR market adoption and how NVIDIA
thinks that their platform will help over all adoption up to 25 million users
they don't actually give a date at to which time there will be 25 million VR
users so that could be 2050 for all we
know uh what's their VR have we seen it yet is that the Oculus which one NVIDIA
are the guys that make the graphics cards oh well okay okay okay but they
don't have their own no okay I was like whoa is there something okay so
Gameworks VR is like a software platform
that can help developers of games for VR
to make their games run better on basically NVIDIA cards and part of it is
like uh VR SLI which is being able to
run two graphics cards and have one of them render for one eye and one of them
render for the other eye oh now that makes a lot of sense yeah cuz 3D can be
pretty brutal I'm super down with VR SLI
the whole Gameworks VR thing does sketch me out because I want VR to work more
than I want the the the fact that my computer hasn't NVIDIA graphics cards to
run it slightly better right
um so I don't know I also don't like it when people are like there will be this
many users of this platform we will help it get to that and it's like okay by
when exactly um I was at a conference
vrx not that long ago some people saw my stupid Vlog thing about that thank you
Taran um and there was quite a few interesting speakers one of them went up
on stage and fully admitted that he basically knew nothing about VR which
was a really interesting way to start your talk but then after that talked
about how he was a financial analyst and has done a lot of stuff behind
smartphones and 3D TVs and like all of
these other different kind of things which he also doesn't really know a lot about but knows a lot about uh how much
people are going to invest into it how long it's going to take for people to adopt these emerging Technologies uh
barrier to entry all this different kind of stuff and he gave a whole bunch of
different stats and ideas and possib ities as to the trending growth of VR
and it was interesting coming from the PC space hearing everyone talk about uh
the Oculus Rift and hearing him go that
doesn't matter as much in terms of overall market adoption because stuff
like the gear VR is going to be given away for free like crazy and then more
people will be using that wait gear VR is being given away for free what is it
he speculated that and then yes that is starting to happen what's why is it
being given away for free when people buy a phone they're getting the gear VR with it which is exactly what he said
would happen smart dude interesting didn't know anything about VR here's a
question for Luke can VR be used for anything other than gaming yeah for sure
like uh what kinds of things would it be most useful um there's already been
people speculating on VR movies have you
read Dune I have not read Dune I should read Dune okay well I'm not going to
spoil anything in Dune uh if you've seen the front cover you know this much there
a lot of it sand a lot of it has to do with sand
um and they made a movie yeah okay did you like the movie I thought it was okay
most people didn't like the movie oh yeah because because they've read the
book I don't know I'm not sure I haven't seen the movie I've only read the book
fine okay well one thing that I've thought of is when a lot of people are
saying porn yep oh yeah okay that makes
sense yep the porn industry is super behind this MH they're already making
like devices to make it more fun right they're behind it they're on top of it
they're all over it they're between two of them spraying why don't you just join
the W show if you're going to have some comments from over there he's working I
know on other things anyways um yeah so
that's one of them VR I think Dune would make a better VR movie than it would
make a normal movie oh yeah because a big problem that I see with Dune is that
the landscape is probably be super boring it's just lots of sand lots of
dunes and it's lots of sand and people wearing full suits that cover themselves
so you can't really like see them and that sounds super boring but if you put
someone like in one of those suits so it feels feels slightly claustrophobic and
they're actually surrounded in every way that they look by sand they might
understand the like helplessness yeah idea of it all that kind of St get that
but of course you can't really walk around unless you're on a treadmill
unless or any something else that they might potentially invent in the future but yeah right now like an omni or
something yeah but we'll we'll see but VR movies is one of them yeah uh there's
exploration experiences so golf courses are already trying to do this oh boy
golf course so you can walk the golf course what I'm more interested in is
this is going to sound a little bit Grim but um like deathbed bucket list
experiences so if you're like on your way out and you're like I still got some
things on my bucket list I want to skydive I want to view the pyramids and
I want to see the Coliseum mhm uh there can be like VR setups let say you want
to skydive they set like a fan up above you and put you a VR setup you know
Sword Art Online touched on a lot of that a big thing with sword art online
is that would way ahead of where we are now Tapp into
neural stuff yeah which that's super not happening right now I wouldn't be
surprised if it did I would be super not you'd be surprised if it did oh yeah
that kind of VR I don't think it's possible uh not that
level but I wouldn't be surprised because they're already trying to do
this to a certain degree I wouldn't be surprised if they had muscle impulses be
transmitted into a computer oh yeah but I don't think it'll take it over and
also you could definitely have um um the computer sending signals to you to
simulate feeling yeah I can totally believe that and that'll be super cool
yeah that'll be cool and probably abused horribly horribly horribly oh yeah and
the porn are porn that as well a lot of
it comes back to VR porn well that you know porn has been the front runner for
like of a lot of Technologies yeah and that's the only one that I know ofar
yeah sure that sounds correct oh like
like it like like uh low not insanely
high level camera gear yeah like kit that honestly we would
buy probably often driven by the porn industry um outside of that there's like
social stuff people are already doing uh social movie viewing so they set up like
a virtual movie theater and you get a seat oh yeah and like everyone sits in
the same or you can like watch a movie on the moon with some friends there's
like a big projector that goes off the moon and you're sitting on the moon um
the the idea of meetups so you have like family gatherings and VR where you get
like a 3D scanner to scan in your body better than a webcam basically I can do
that yeah that's that's cool yeah that's cool I don't know some people are saying
the internet there is going to be VR browsers I don't know how good it's going to be uh I know other people have
talked about the idea of not having like a huge crazy multiscreen setup yeah but
just having a VR headset right well as long as the resolution's good enough yes
which it's not not right now right
now maybe eventually right I don't know
anyways I'm going to move on from this topic Troopers VR
Troopers that was a show you've never heard of VR Troopers
no never heard of VR Troopers what's VR Troopers it's kind of like a Power
Rangers knock off oh I'd probably prefer Power Rangers oh
I definitely preferred Power Rangers it was just on after some the chat talking
about preferring things Ashley Madison has added 4 million new members since
the hack that exposed users identities cool so apparently people don't care for
one and two probably were never really
using fully true identities um I I do
have something to add to this one are you on Ashley Madison I am on Ashley
Madison so I've been on Ashley Madison since shortly after the hack when we
talked about Ashley Madison and me too
how I'm not on it me too because Ashley Madison does not require email
validation to create a free account so the fact that they have four million new
members means nothing Oh I thought
everybody requires email validation these days not these guys not these guys
which is probably part of their marketing campaign because this has
probably increased people's confidence in the company so they probably told
people that they have 4 million new members not just a random statistic they
were like hey hey we have 4 million new members hey and then they posted a news
article about it interesting you know I heard about this other dating website uh
where it's only for like really attractive people and they force you to
always put new pictures up like every month or so and they got rid of they
they like blocked a whole bunch of users off the website cuz they're too ugly no
because they got fat over the holidays this was like a couple years ago and
then there was an outpour there was a flood of new people coming in who heard
about this right so similar situation
asley madis right they're like oh I want
to be on this site that b ugly
people that's horrible you know what it is no I I don't remember at all that's
hilarious I don't really care to be completely honest I just thought that was really that is funny oh my
goodness beautiful people
only so Taran did they let you on the
site I would have I would have too
but that's probably why we're not allowed on the site
yeah yeah I'm the sheriff
sheriff what else should we talk about here you are the sheriff Darren rise of
the Tomb reader has a tentative PC release date um ldlc.com reports 29th of
the first month of 2016 so like in basically a month um Amazon France
reported the same thing although it's not technically confirmed squix did say
that the game would launch early 2016 so hopefully it is coming which game Tom
rise of the Tomb rise of the Tomb raid how many tomb Raiders are games are
there Lots now recently just two I see
but over the whole course of everything tons of them you remember traffic cone
boob you hear that is that technically complet like are we sure that's
true told me oh yeah wait wait I I I
don't think I've heard the whole thing I know that the very first Tomb r like there was such slow polygons what I've
heard I don't know if this is true I don't know if it's been confirmed twitch
chat can probably tell me if it's true or not um but what I've heard is that
there was investors coming into the studio for the first Tomb Raider game
that they're trying to make and one of the designers was trying to touch up the
um what's her name the Tomb Raider chick um Laura Laura Croft was trying to touch
up her design and accidentally like deleted her boobs or something on
accident so it was like uh tried to fix it and put in traffic cones and then the
texture just wrapped over them right so like it was kind of fine um and he like
admitted the mistake while they were there but he's like this is it's just a representation or whatever and then they
were like actually we like it keep it so
I don't know that sounds like a myth it does that's why I'm like uh when I first
heard that they just reused the traffic cone one I was like oh okay that might
be a thing because that actually happens a lot in older games look at Mario the
bush and the cloud is the same actual thing they just recolor it so I was like
okay that might make sense for memory reasons or whatever when I heard like the investors coming to the office thing
I was like it sounds pretty hoaxy to me I don't
know no one's like really
saying yeah I don't
know people are posting little emot that look like boobs that's kind of fun
that's fine I'm going to do sponsor spots traffic
cones they should just texture them like traffic cones no no they need to be
posting traffic cones you got to get a traffic cone picture in there that's
true now that's yeah that's very true anyways Squarespace they're simple
powerful and I think that they're beautiful I don't know what that's an
opinion I think they would make it on that website oh yeah but I'm not really
sure 247 live chat support uh and email

laptop or a desktop or that desktop or
your phone it'll look fine it has a Commerce module that every website comes

that's the part that I know I got to go I got to finish editing I wanted to do
like the surprise thing bye bye
Taran I didn't put the thing up ah there we
go sorry Nick I didn't put the lower third on uh does that mean I need to
redo it okay so the lower third is down here that's where the off coat is I had
to like home my fingers in I went too far one way then too far the other way
but it's there um now I'm going to switch to Fresh books and the l oh
I don't think that's how that's supposed to work you got this
bro I didn't set this part up I don't know what to do I'm going to put this
here so there we go
freshbooks freshbooks is the easy to ous invoicing software that helps small
businesses look professional and get paid faster you can even do things like
receive deposits so you can get a little bit of the money for your work before
you go do your work so you know that they're actually going to want you to do
it and they'll actually show up for their side of the appointment and stuff like that it's actually really helpful
especially if you're a small business uh it's completely free for 30 days if you
go to freshbooks.com as you can see in this awkwardly placed box that happens
to be right there um if it does a lot of
stuff it can track the amount of hours that you that you do at what job when
where all that kind of stuff so you don't have to worry about any of that kind of stuff if you have purchases that
need to be made you just take a picture of the receipt and they can log that for
you so it's easy to expense later on it has a time sheet function you can manage
your expenses overall in terms of whatever you need to manage um it can
even tell your you can even tell you if your clients have looked at the invoice
that you have served them which is nice because if they're like you never sent
me that you can be like look dude I did
you even looked at it man come on aren't we friends you can do that which is
helpful if you have any questions you can feel free to reach out to their
support staff where you'll speak to real human which is cool um no phone tree no
escalations no return calls just answers which is actually kind of nice so like I
said go to freshbooks.com WAN and enter Wan in the how did you hear about a
section and they also just got a Mobile card reader or mobile they also got a
Mobile card reader there we go I think you can plug it into your phone scan
cards or something there's a 3% charge
on it and I think it cost 20 bucks um
but the 3% charge includes the already there credit card charge so it's like
half a percent or a percent or something
yeah it's it's not bad there's a lot of credit card readers that are worse so
there you go and it's kind of cool to be able to be like here's my phone that has a thing and you can swipe it and then
everything's fine it's nice you can take charges while you're there so you have
to wait like 30 million years to get a someone to pay you if I sound salty it's
cuz I've been in that situation anyways jumping back to the normal part of the show what not from
you actually you've been pretty good I meant when I was doing like odd
jobs for people I told you I used to do like it
work for random like offices and stuff yeah that would sometimes take forever
they would always conveniently forget or conveniently not see it so yeah I would
have probably legitimately used fresh books back in the
day anyways let's see what more topics
we have I'm going to do a uh straw pole thing
actually real quick I want to see what you
guys are excit I don't know
what is happening in that
room let me okay I'm asking you guys
what um what did you guys just
do what did they do huh why are they freaking out what did they do Nick's
telling him about the what the thing the most
thing oh my God upcoming super fun you
can kind of I think you can kind of tease the prank because we'll introduce
it right at the beginning of the video right hey
Burl can you get Burl to come out
here uh what has
are you excited about it CES wow I can't straw pull this I'm going to Twitter
Blitz this why was I going to straw pull this that was a horrible idea you can't
input your own opinions at all twitter.com so what I'm going to ask you
on the Twitter Blitz which we're I think going to use mine because I don't have
Linus's login do you want to talk about what you just did on the wow or no oh
sure okay cool well should I yeah it's up to you I don't know if that's a so
maybe don't like explain the whole thing I don't know okay well I'll explain
expain it I explain it very briefly um
so here long story short I've been periodically pranking Taran for one
year basically since C last
year and I've the video I'm trying to do
for today wasn't working so I'm like you know what I did not know about this
there is no way that I would have approved you to do something like this
yeah you did you definitely did I told you about it and you're always asking me
hey how's that thing with tan going so I guess uh I guess that's today I
guess that's going to be coming up on super fun because I didn't actually plan
on doing it yet but uh we just went
through the Windows so that's we went through a certain prank that didn't
actually work because teran's too logical he did too logical of a thing
when he experienced it so what what
prank was that uh you'll have to find out oh on no the one that he experienced
that wasn't good is that coming out yeah yeah yeah okay okay but that's it it's
just a prank dude calm down oh my God it's just a prank dude I just stepped on
your shoes that's it's funny it's a prank oh
my God if someone stop and like sometimes they stomp on their foot Luke
I just poured water on your laptop it's a prank though dude don't get
mad dud it's a prank okay bye bye W show
makes me so sad okay so you guys actually do have to tweet lonus I
figured out how to make that work so Linus on Twitter and hit him up with
what you're excited for us to cover at CES or what you're excited to be at CES
in general at all if you don't really care if we covered or not but you
probably like that'll be nice if you
cared I'm going to cover where I normally sit
up there we go okay so hit me up on
Twitter there for a while I'm going to go talk about something else for a
little bit if there is even any more topics
uh apparently csgo is the bestselling game on Steam in 2015 it beat out GTA 5
and it beat out Fallout 4 I'm not super surprised that it beat out Fallout 4
considering Fallout 4 was only out for like two months or something so I don't
know I don't think that's that surprised also I'm going to speculate here I don't
know if everyone's been speculating about this or not but I'm going to speculate here that a lot of that was uh
not necessarily purchases that they well it's money so they're probably happy
about it but not necessarily purchases that you want uh I played csgo
for quite a bit in the first I'd say
half of this year and every single time that there was a sale everyone that I
knew that played actively would less than the amount that they played because
the amount of people that hack hacked would just absolutely Skyrocket the
amount of new like basically brand new accounts that would just randomly have
CS go and randomly be destroying in
games in completely ridiculous ways that
would show up right around sales and then would
disappear within maybe two weeks was
insane and would still count into their sales records so yeah also I think this
is bestselling as in amount of sales not
best selling as in yeah it's it's owners so it's amount of sales not uh revenue
from the sales so when you just like kill the cost of a really popular game
people are probably going to buy it uh
yeah I don't know so it it went first place was Counterstrike Global Offensive
then it was Grand Theft Auto 5 then Fallout 4 then Ark survival evolved
rocket League Gary's mod Left for Dead
Two Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim Terraria and
then Witcher 3 the wild Hunt in number 10 it goes down
to 25 uh yeah I don't think I'm that
surprised but I don't know I think a lot of it's
not necessarily the most genuine of sales let's see what you guys are
excited
for Jem Johansson I hope I'm saying that
right can you guys see this yeah that's
kind of not small enough let me get a better VI VI for you guys sorry one
second screen capture I'm just going to do like two
blocks there we go I think that's
better so Yim Johanson hopefully I'm
saying that correctly says I would love to see some home automation stuff I
would too if it's like actually new and
good uh I've seen a lot of home automation stuff at these shows which is
really not that impressive and kind of generally crap so hopefully there's
better ones uh not that long ago on Kickstarter I saw one that I think was
called the gecko switch and the idea was that you would take out a current switch
that was in your home put the home base
of that switches gecko switch there and then basically a wall sticker switch
somewhere else and then that would essentially move where the switch is
that's actually kind of cool because then you could have like a bank of switches somewhere that can you can
basically move them around because the amount of times that like you have to
cover a switch up with something or a switch happens to be in a completely
illogical location I don't know drives me
absolutely nuts so that's kind of a cool solution for that um iPhone soccer again
I don't think that's going to be happening uh we're not sponsored by the
best Dam screen protectors out there this year we're sponsored by Squarespace
build it beautiful so um maybe we'll
have it super fun about kicking websites around I doubt it um looking forward to
more VR Shenanigans readly available to the public uh yeah that'll be cool I
don't think CES is going to be largely uh like maybe at CES companies
will be announcing their finalized dates of when you're going to be able to get them or maybe they're going to be
announcing the ability to pre-order them or something but I don't think there's
going to be any uh obviously like fullon
releases there uh HTC 5 breakthrough announcement we
will see hopefully that's good some new displays will be nice too displays are a
fairly common thing um oh wow this is
not working perfectly so it needs to be there so Jim Jim Leander Jim Jimmy Jim
jimer Jimmy Linder gonna go with that uh
say says some new displays would be nice too that's actually fairly common I
think last year we had HP and LG talking about
displays monitors and TVs are always
definitely a thing at CES so if if there aren't monitors being a big thing there
will be uh TVs at the very least the
amount of 8K TVs this year is probably going to be annoyingly insane also
excited for lonus drop tips 2016 any any
comment on that I don't drop anything on
purpose which is why it's even more I think that's why people like it
all right so no real comment on that other than that he doesn't do it on
purpose uh moving down people are
excited for VR that's good because I'm already planning a few videos on that
hopefully so hopefully you like it and share it and watch it and do all that
kind of fun stuff so I can keep doing videos on VR uh more lineus dropping
things wow
ruthless uh so to see some new pc cases I think
there's at least a few companies that I'm going
to see that have PC cases and if that's true for me there's probably some with
Linus as well so if you're excited for PC cases that's probably going to be
fine um we're probably not going to be
playing soccer again so unfortunately probably
not Linus's new Top Dog
monitor lus the new best monitor yet maybe
have you felt tremors so someone's asking a not CES related question which
is probably more for lonus than for me uh but he's asking about an earthquake
that was up here recently I don't think we felt it that hard did we oh yeah you
did oh yeah I was in my office so I was like one story up uh it was crazy and
Taran came like ripping up to my office and was like holy crap did you feel that
was that an earthquake oh wow I was watching the hi FL and I thought someone
kicked my chair I was asleep and had a crazy dream that like Colton died and I
bought a plane and like weird things
happened I told colon about it it was funny but it's completely unrelated
topic but yeah I had no idea it happened but then when I woke up and everyone was
freaking out about it I was like yeah that makes sense as to what the hell my dream was about so apparently I'm not
going to wake up if there's a crazy freaking uh
earthquake Dale Caldwell says that he's interested in argumented reality I
really hope that's a thing this year um one of the problems that I foresee with
augumented reality um is that it has to
be really really really good VR actually
has the lucky exception of being able to be constantly powered by a computer um
augumented reality is going to honestly in its ultimate form need to look like a
very normal pair of glasses that happens to have the lenses are able to have
projections on them somehow so you can see things on the normal lenses I think
that's the one of the ultimate LS for augmented reality until they get it into
like contact lenses but like whoo dang so I don't know we'll see mostly
augmented reality stuff we've seen so far has been kind of not great
so I don't know yeah people just saw edzel in the Lan hoodie I think that's
still going to be a while till that's available unfortunately you'll get yours
at the show what that's awesome
apparently I'm getting one at the show so that's
cool tons of people saying monitors VR
so at least there's one category for
each of us right
um is that your text message s just oh
that's fun is she your
Baymax um someone says all you care about is Squarespace ads that's good
because I think every video will have one so hopefully you really like
Squarespace ads really like I know and you really like me saying
build it beautiful CU I'm probably going to go ham the entire time my voice is
going to be gone near the end of it too if it's anything like previous years so
it's going to be like s face bil beautiful which is probably going to be
even better so let me know line is dropping things and breaking them damn
you guys really didn't forget about that did
you AMD Polaris I'll see if it's going to be there I'm the one going to the AMD
booth so hopefully they've got some really cool stuff
uh excited for some NVIDIA stuff I think
they have a VR thing I'm not sure it's
probably just VR Gameworks Oculus consumer I'm going to
go to the Oculus Booth uh their media
contact is like literally the hardest people to talk to ever so we still don't
have an actual media contact at Oculus so I'm just going to go line up like I
have at every show that we've done anything about Oculus with uh so
hopefully I can make that actually fit
um but yeah I will
try the exciting thing about Vive and
Oculus consumer version if you're excited for those news from CES is that
they're probably coming out relatively soon so you don't have to worry about like seeing it from CES and then waiting
a ridiculously long period of time that
spoiler what spoiler oh I think someone said
something about Star Wars
super excited to see some advances in VR okay I think I might be done with this
Twitter Blitz basically everyone's saying the same things home automation
VR monitors and lus drops things so someone said VR and sex dolls
I don't think that they're going to oh I just deleted my
thing that's awkward I don't know where it is is I'm
not going to have a lower third for the rest of the show CU I literally just
deleted it so that's unfortunate but it's probably fine
um I was trying to delete the Twitter one and deleted the wrong one and then
also deleted the Twitter one so that's probably fine um apparent oh this is
actually totally cool there's a totally experimental CPU that is integrated with
o Optical logic uh which promises
significant power reductions there's some quotes here that are saying things
like the estimated d uh power usage of data centers is like 20 20 to 30% based
on just transferring data within themselves Nick is apparently going to fix the lower third I'm assuming oh I
was nope he's doing something else screw the no don't even doesn't even matter no
one wants it anyways okay apparently he's fixing it
um and this should help quite a bit so so they're
essentially this is a very odd topic to be completely honest researchers say
that uh it's 10 to 50 times the rate for
a comparable electronic microprocessor uh because it can what is data transfer
in the Prototype occurred at 300 gabyt per square millimeter which is kind of
obscene something to remember about this topic is that it started with totally
experimental and there's still giant problems like light leaking out of the
ship meaning that you could uh you know
lose data and things wouldn't exactly be reliable at all that totally sounds like
a problem that they can and will solve but it just feeds into the totally
experimental side of things if we see this it won't be for a while
um yeah electrical engineer cheyen moera
hopefully I say that correctly um says that making chips like this required
etching off part of the Silicon although I still don't necessarily understand
what he means by that because if you're adding in Optical connectors I would
expect you to just make a whole new one not like etch part of your current one
off but maybe that's why it's totally experimental I don't know we've got
another Topic in here which is actually kind of funny because I reviewed this
controller the topic name is that why why Microsoft can't keep the $150 Xbox
Elite controller in stock and there's a a ton of comments on this but basically
what it comes down to I'm going to share the MSN wait I'm going to share the yeah
MSN News link is that they looked at the
market saw that basically everyone was using all the pro guys were using scuff
controllers um thought that it was relatively saturated but wanted to
release this controller anyways gave it to some people those people said it's
cool but it's really expensive so I don't expect that many people to buy it
then they released it and a whole bunch of people wanted to buy it so they
didn't pre-produce as many as they were hoping for um they're estimating that
Microsoft has made 500,000 controllers
and that's apparently not nearly
enough I don't know I think that Scuf is
probably super happy that Microsoft can't keep their controllers in stock um
but another thing that I've heard actually before reading this article is
that Scuf hasn't felt too much of a hit from this I'm expecting that it's more
not necessarily the console Pro Gamers
or console super crazy high-end Gamers
that are buying the Xbox Elite controller I'm assuming it's probably
more like I play a lot of Xbox games and would like a way better controller
experience so I'm going to grab this thing I think that's cool I actually
really liked it and I could understand PC Gamers buying it as well if you're
someone who would use a controller a lot for for PC games which is definitely a
thing and before pcmr people freak out there's games that work for that
action-based games stuff like Assassin's Creed I prefer to play with a controller
um racing games if you don't have a racing wheel keyboard and mouse is kind
of not the greatest for that space Metal Gear Solid apparently
Brandon likes it better on controller I haven't played that one yet I don't know
whatever um a lot of space games are
getting popular now I've seen ads
for oh crap Elite dangerous in movie
theaters and stuff recently and on TV which is kind of crazy actually Star
Citizen has done some Alpha thing recently that you would probably prefer
to play with a controller over a keyboard and mouse but I'm not sure I
personally use my hotas
so whatever it is I don't know you do
you man apparently more than 9,000 UK
households um are saying that they still watch black and white TV you need a
different uh license for watching different things I
don't really know how the whole UK viewing TV thing works I've heard that
you have to have a license that it's not really an option and that's how they
fund the BBC stuff I don't know but black and
white licenses cost 50b while color licenses cost 150 lb so I'm kind of
wondering if some people have found a way to do something so they still get
color signals and they can pay less for it but who knows apparently there's
still a ton of people with black and white TVs in the UK that's pretty
weird other random news from around the world because not a ton of stuff happens
before CES and we have to find something to talk about in this segment while I'm
by myself um Belgium their biggest
advertisement board which is apparently massive it looks massive if you see the
picture I'll I'll show you guys here in a moment was uh hijacked or hacked or
whatever you want to call it and they did some pretty funny things you can see
there they used to be a Coca-Cola ice cold drink Coca-Cola ad thing and then
they trolled the crap of out of it be by putting on a troll face which I find
while it's illegal kind of hilarious they did some other things apparently I
don't know if the photos of them are in here no it doesn't look like it um the
here it is on the roof of the Coca-Cola logo the series of images one that says
hello bxl another one that featured the Coca-Cola logo with naked breasts in the
background so I don't know if Coca-Cola was necessarily that mad about that um
and they did a few other things one of the silly Parts was that the guys that
did this filmed themselves doing it and I've heard that there's been complaints
filed against uh whose faces have been made
unrecognizable in the video below yeah so they showed their faces I don't see
where the video below is is oh this is probably the video
below I'm going to mute it I thought that was an
image yes this is a video below we'll see if it even plays it's trying to load
right now um but like they showed their faces in the video that they filmed of
them hacking this panel which
like you guys are so
dumb I don't know yeah highly illegal and they're
probably going to get screwed over now because they showed the faces on the
thing um although them getting screwed over is probably Fair because they
hacked something and put nude images on it behind company logos and stuff so I
don't know whatever you can decide what to think what you think about that I
think it's kind of funny but not a good thing so oh
well um Intel has acquired a company
called Altera which is an fpga um or field programmable gate array
company Altera seems to be quite happy about it which is probably not too
surpris ing um Dan
McNamara which is an Altera veteran who I think LED this whole takeover thing
says that combining altera's industry leading fpga Tech and customer support
with Intel's world-class semiconductor manufacturing capabilities will enable
customers to create next gener the next generation of electronic systems with
unmatched performance and power efficiency which is actually pretty sick
everyone in chat's like just a prank bro yeah I wonder if that was actually what
happened in the video that would be kind of hilarious people in chat are talking
about uh Activision buying MLG for $43
million I'm G to be completely honest I had not heard about that but it's on
wccftech so if you want to check it out you can go there and check it out um
apparently they bought MLG so now what it's Activision Blizzard
King and MLG maybe blizzard will finally get good at
uh you know having competitive
titles Wow's Arena has been a disaster ever since the start actually I think
getting kicked out of MLG so maybe W
Arena will be back in MLG uh and I I've
been constantly frustrated by them basically abandoning games my brother
was a Caster at CC on Twitter for Starcraft for a while and they did
nothing to help Starcraft they actually hindered the progress of Starcraft
competitive scene which is extremely frustrating uh Heroes of the
Storm they don't really seem to be doing a whole lot to help in that department
Hearthstone they pushed really hard for a while then I don't know they seem to
just make games and then go I don't
know maybe with the acquisition of MLG
they can push Su hard with OverWatch that would be cool
I don't know I really want OverWatch to work I want competitive blizzard games
to be a thing sorry about the frustration look
at Diablo that's like all I have to say
Okay moving
on I don't think I'm going to do that many more topics than I'm probably going
to get out of here oops I think that's actually
probably it for topics oh right this is actually kind of
awesome and funny in the same sentence Switzerland is really really
really really really driving for a universal phone charger for everything
um all the phones not just Android phones not just Apple phones all the
phones uh I'm not going to bother switch to the website because it's Vice and
apparently Vice is all ads at this point
literally okay look at this I'm going switch my screen you can't even see the
title of the article because the picture for the article is so big and then the
ad is so big that it actually pushes the
entire article off of the front of the fold of the website so that's crazy um
we're going to jump back to my dock so I
can actually read things about it uh mobile phones will have to be compatible
with a universal charger by mid
27 at the latest uh I think they probably already
are cuz they're there's cables that are Universal are you just going to like
drink alcohol in the Stream it is New Year's Day whatever no
yeah oh no that's tomorrow Eve no no
yeah okay it's New Year are you already drunk no no it's not open yet okay okay
so our Construction Company sent this over I don't know what Luke was talking
about it's fine before I got it's not that important I kind of ran out of
interesting topics to be completely honest like a while ago why are we
sitting on top of this cable it's completely in the way minus Media Group
okay you know what I'm going to fix this okay get up off your
chair I'm going to I'm getting in here I'm I'm organizing things oh things are
going to get better you did a lot so you're just going to keep talking and
I'm going to keep drinking okay so anyway Switzerland
wants universal charger it or it has to be compatible with a universal charger I
think they kind of already are it just needs multiple ends so I'm assuming that
they want it to be compatible with a charger that is able to plug directly in
to whatever phone it is I think they're probably going to have a lot of backlash
from Apple on this one so we'll see how that works I think yeah it says the
European Union has previously voted on this and Switzerland is bringing itself
in line with regulations
so yeah I don't really see this being a huge thing unless basically all of the
EU Gets behind it but we'll see what happens do you know how to properly open
those I have no idea all
right yeah just pull on it I mean I would
assume I don't know it's hard I would
turn it turn no that
oh that does make sense I've I've never
opened one of those either but looking at the construction it pops right it's
going to shoot don't aim at me you should put like a a a bucket over it
usually you put like a rag over it or like this glove over or you could let it
hit the expensive light here use this
what is it it's a wow sweat well not anymore yeah so you start you'll start
twisting twisting twisting it's like
boom here we go are you allowed to drink on Twitch I don't know maybe just don't
maybe just don't it's not open yet are you allowed to open it whoa wow that
really exploded wasn't joking dog now
everywhere so watch out is it yeah away from computers oh it's not oh you're
good well that was that that was exciting don't drink it I'm not going to
drink it but that was amazing okay now I got to go find The
Cork I'm glad you didn't catch it with the sweater I don't
know Shot Through It shot through it I
don't think it shot through it I dented a roof it you dented a roof there we go
I found the CL wow good job there it
is there it is Happy New Year
oh Luke doesn't drink that's why this is funny all right all right back to your
