all right ladies and gentlemen welcome
to the W show I mean it was a
joke what was that that bit there that I just did oh I mean no this isn't the w
show no no there it is the W show and they are welcome they just aren't any
ladies uh we've got a great show for you guys today uh Intel is rumored to be
working on core I9 processors so uh wow
that's been what 7 years in the work since the original rumors maybe this
will finally be over four cores on a consumer day NVIDIA announces the first
well what do we call it we can't call it a video card cuz it won't even have like
video outputs but but but it's a it's a GPU okay first Volta GPU it's the
biggest they've ever made and uh what
else we got here uh I don't know where it went but maybe
that's part of the whole deal there's oh here it is there's a NSA derived
ransomware worm that is just going everywhere and screwing huge companies
over and it's it's scary and bad and we'll talk about that also where did it
go the UK police start using minority reportes aai to help decide the fate of
inmates o really apparently all right so
let's uh roll that intro and uh hopefully the world is still here when
we come back yeah no guarantees though
harm assessment risk to Heart
huh forecast that there were low risk 98% of the time oh yeah LTX
2017 Tech con
hooray get conned on Saturday July 29th
2017 tickets on sale now at wow really
what a good link we decided not to shorten that at all what is ticket
rocket. cevent detail
97246 lx-20 2017 if you can remember
that heck yeah yeah cuz it's gone squares SP what
Isco I mean I know co.uk but what oh
wait hold on all oh wait no jeez everything's for the show's over
now you played it twice crap okay well thanks for tuning in see you again next
week uh okay but in all seriousness we have some huge news now that jamesg
gravity so that's James forgravity on Twitter is off probation he will reply
to all Emoji sentences with an emoji
sentence only tweets from now till Sunday count I guess this has be been
creating problems for him actually getting too many people sending nonsense
uh with with his at TAG added um also in
other very does have anything to do with being off probation he just is excited I I get it
okay I get it I mean were you excited when you were off probation you didn't
have to check in with your officer anymore I was going to say I don't think
I even like officially had one oh did your mom even know about that she watches this show doesn't she oh yeah no
she I didn't tell her about that sorry mom we'll talk about that later I had
other important news too I forget what it was though I guess it couldn't have
been that important oh yes Brandon has
brought the world's most horrendous
snack you're into this office oh thank
you he so he pulls me over onto a set to
do like a um and this okay this is not a
sponsored bit no this stuff is trash
complete and absolute trash Nong shim
you should never produce no get out of here get that's not
true trash okay sorry I'm I'm covering
you up I'm just like trash trash cover it
up rude so he brings me over there to to
do like a like a bit for b-roll he's like look relaxed look lazy so I'm
sitting on the couch with my my bag of what is presumably actually
food on my on my my tummy I go and I
grab one I throw it in my mouth and I'm just
like I I swear just about tossed it
these are disgusting okay so there's a concept there's a concept that I call
here why don't you um why don't you why don't you grab a couple throw throw them
in your mouth we'll get here you're you're drifting okay here yeah there we go okay
okay so there's a concept that I call I actually learned this from my old boss
at NC they don't smell as bad as they taste called calorie worthy hold on can
I have this back there's some nutritional facts on these things so
it's one thing for something to have 20%
of your daily fat intake per 50
gram and there's another thing Al together for it to taste like absolute
garbage at the same time okay to be fair like they don't taste great but they
just don't taste like anything I don't know how you had a strong reaction you
don't taste like I can rotting
ocean yeah and your breath is going to be like I think I smell like oan Savage
I'm not going to have anymore cuz I don't want to scare people away from a
block away but um like I can smell it
really strongly now that I ate it but like it tastes like like really really
really thin Airy Rice Krispie or not Rice Krispie uh what are those called
it's made out of rice krispy stuff I think like uh rice crackers yeah yeah so
tastes like rice crackers with an infusion of rotting shrimp yeah a little
bit absolutely disgusting but it's not super strong like I did you gag on it
almost almost gagged definitely had to spit it out I didn't try to swallow it
like I didn't I didn't have that reaction oh I cannot eat that trash
that's horrible yeah all right the smell
the smell the smell turns me off it completely that is not a good smell okay
um this was originally posted by kamesh
SS on the Forum Intel is rumored to be
working on wait what what forum is this oh this is a non-tech forum okay very
right Intel is rumored to be working on core I9 processors so let's go ahead and
pull up this exclusive Post in the Anan Forum by
sweeper the diamond member and oh whoops
it helps if I plug in my laptop dang it I've got a diamond member do you have a
diamond member sounds hard yeah rock
hard Diamond hard the hardest yeah uh
there we go okay that's better um so
this is the rumored Sky Lake X lineup cor I 9
7920x whatever that means cor I9
7900x so apparently they all have X's that's 12 cores and oh oh oh are they
all extreme editions are they all so everything core I9 is Extreme does that
make sense to you no you know what though what I'll say is these specs
actually look like they make a fair bit of sense I don't know about the names
but 12 core 24 thread based on what we know about Skylake um and its improved
power profile versus Broadwell that probably makes sense for a new extreme
Edition and then this generation they went okay two
cores down and otherwise mostly
unaffected um with really good you know turbo speeds or whatever so as a as a so
we've got a 6950x and we've got a 6900 K right now so these look like The
Replacements there we got a 12 and a 10 core um which is cool more cores I'm
never going to say no to that then moving down this is where I don't like
it but it starts to make again a lot of sense six core that's an X though yeah
so it looks like they're changing it so that anything um HT high-end desktop so
that's lga's 1866 2011 20113 and then I
forget what this one's going to be but it's the one that's coming um it looks
like those are all going to be X and all going to be core I9 now um so these next
two down which will probably be like the the the
$700 and the like5 $450 $500 one look
like they're going to be eight and six core with only 28 PCI E lanes and with
the six core really getting kicked in the teeth as far as turbo boost goes so
it's not getting a new turbo 3.0 this is all rumored though and then this is a
fairly well substantiated rumor that we're going to get a like a KB Lake
X on the high-end desktop platform that
and I I don't get these SKS at all like
at all but they're basically going to be higher
TDP cor i77700 k
70 core I 5 7600k that are called 7740 that you have
to have a much more expensive motherboard in order to install same PCI
E Lanes uh same size cash four cores
four threads for the I5 or I guess it's an i7 it's an i7 with no
hyperthreading but I'm finally going to have to what I'm finally going to have
to I didn't even notice that on the bottom one I'm going to have to redo that video now
um and then four course eight threads on the on the I on the actual i7 that's
yeah I don't I don't get this so I don't know if you remember
this but back when Intel split the lineups so
lga775 was the last time we had extreme
Edition all the way down to Celeron on
the same socket yep um then what happened was Intel launched LGA 1150 56
so that was Linfield and what happened with the LG
1156 was that all of a sudden we got
this um wait hold on let me think for a
second was it 1156 first or did they launch 1366 first uhoh I might be
getting myself into trouble
here sorry what's that 66 was first it was 1366 first yeah 68 and then what
happened was they launched 1156 and then they so we got Linfield
and then we got what what was it Ivy Bridge after lynfield no Sandy Bridge
Sandy Bridge was the first one to switch it up so Sandy Bridge switched it up right and Sandy Bridge was on the same
platform as
lynfield a dang it I'm getting my Intel history mixed up you know what why don't
you do another topic while I double check this stuff okay and then we'll uh
we'll get back to it I'm pretty sure everything JRE said was right though I I
am I am too but I also just want to uh I
couldn't really hear him very well anyway and if I just put it in front of me and then I will feel better sure a
lot of these are like either topics yeah
no it's okay NVIDIA releases GeForce
experience 3.6 that's news apparently uh
posted by the dark potato uh Shadow play now supports additional rendering apis
including openg G and Vulcan and the usability has been streamlined
apparently allowing easy uploads to Facebook if you wanted to do that uh
twitch and Google from an improved overlay but probably still is taking
Telemetry data um to a certain degree and still requires a full login to use
um so I will still continue to not have
it on any of my computers so it's not going to help me at
all okay okay here we go yeah so so LGA
1366 here we go so we had 75 everything
was unified we got LGA 11 LGA
1366 which was this Bonafide highend
platform it had triple Channel memory it had more PCIe Lanes my dad still runs it
um at some point later on it ended up
getting up to six core processors which
was pretty darn dope AF as the kids say
um in fact the core i7 980 X I believe
it was called here we go that
one launched q120 so I believe that came out right
with the platform launch as I recall anyway so Bonafide higher end platform
then we got Clarkdale and lynfield on LGA
1156 then what Intel did was they gave
us the consumer upgrade to that which
was Sandy Bridge first first before
giving us Sandy Bridge e on LGA
2011 if I recall correctly again oh wow
I really hope I'm not making another mistake did we get Sandy Bridge e on
1366 this is terrible this is the worst W show segment that I have ever done I
was too po to care about these at that time done well it was my job to sell it
so um so it definitely yeah so we got uh
we got a halum and then
uh wow this is oh this is incredibly unhelpful Microsoft unveiled a Windows
mixed reality controller thing Microsoft
has announced controllers to support new mixed reality and VR headsets coming
from the likes of Acer and HP the controllers will rely on Inside Out
tracking technology so you won't need to set up any special sensors around your
room in order to actually use them um they have a thumb stick like the Oculus
touch a touch pad like the Vive and a wlike design with a tracking ring on the
end I don't think we're going to be able to get this on stream um Acer will offer
them bundled together with its Windows VR headset for a $100 premium yeah no I
do I have you uh oh I see give me a second yes we
got this there so they look kind of like a hybrid
almost it's interesting
okay they sort of look like someone was like Hey we're the new players maybe if
we just wedge ourselves exactly in between we'll see if we can do
okay cuz they look they look like Vive controllers that someone tried to like
wrench an Oculus controller onto yeah if
they're light they could be pretty comfortable they got to get the waiting right and it's hard to say like if the
base of the handle was had kind of some heft to it like if that's where the
battery is yeah then I could I could kind of see this uh I could kind of see
this being okay okay so anyway yes um go back for
one quick second oh yes and here's
pictured the Acer VR headset oh so I've talked to Acer about this uh right now
Dev kits only they are not seeding them to press um but we are definitely
interested in getting our hands on one of these to check out um I at the Acer
event that I was at in New York um Microsoft's like head AR guy came on
and was talking about how this headset is apparently actually pretty fantastic
yeah um so I don't know I mean it's a keynote so like who knows yeah it could
be nonsense but uh there you go there's someone somewhat credible who came and
said a thing that might be believable yeah um okay okay okay so yes I was
right so Sandy bridie went on to socket 2011
uh and that happened after we had gotten sandybridge architecture on the
mainstream platform anyway the whole point of all of
that was the rumor the word on the
street was that for LGA
1366 it was rumored that in addition to
the core i7 920
930 and oh I don't want to get this
wrong I don't remember if the 950 came later whatever whatever the launch
lineup was they were all core i7s the
rumor was that there was going to be a higher-end core
I9 okay and that never did materialize
we did get extreme Edition dual socket
platforms but Intel never formally called those core I9 those ended up with
names like uh I think it was cor i7
9775 was the end of QX no
qx9775 was the end of uh actually that
was on LGA 771 so what was uh what was
uh what was the one after after skull
Trail I think it was just I tuned out trying to find a new new so after that
so you were basically just expected to put uh zons in them as I recall
correctly so EVGA
sr2 so they had the classified sr2 it was dual 136 6 but people basically just
put zons in them so there you go that's what that's what went down there um so
finally core I9 is Raising its head again and maybe we will see a core I9
but maybe not I've also seen other rumors that have suggested that it's
just going to be more core i7s but I
think that would oh man the the lineup is getting so confusing here if there's
any truth to this rumor whatsoever it's going to be like what is a core i5 you
know what though there's another way to look at this uh-huh this is very good
for us this is fantastic for us this is
terrible for like almost everyone else but like us and Paul and Kyle and
demitry and other like Tech YouTube people fantastic written article people
great so everybody wins except except for all of the
consumers okay well I guess I'm okay with
that cuz we're going to have to make videos explaining what the hell is going
on this probably going to be a tech Ricky video explaining what the heck and
I9 is that means for everything else I'm going to have to completely redo that
video John is going to have to completely redo that video a big
explanation of of the technical overview of these processors when it comes out is
going to have to be like okay what the heck even is this you can check out the
tech cookie video but here's a short explanation blah blah blah all right
let's get into we actually don't always talk about you know know the security
exploit dour on the WAN Show just because you know there are other
Publications that I think handle that kind of security stuff a little bit more
in depth than we do than we do yeah we're not going to dive into it as far
but this posted originally on the Forum by Master disaster the original article
here is from RS Technica is sort of a
big deal okay drop a knowledge bomb Luke here we go so there's a bunch of
different things going on with this I actually don't know enough about it to be completely honest but if you want
like springboard points uh W kryptor it
was spotted a few weeks ago the ransomware was not really distributed
that much and then suddenly W and Cryptor exploded and began spreading
like wildfire through an explor called Eternal blue one thing that's freaky
with all this kind of stuff is a lot of it's derived from NSA Tech and it's
ransomware so big companies are getting hit their servers getting locked down
encrypted and the key is being sold to
them for I believe it's like $300 but then who the heck knows if that
even works yep that's like the core concept of the whole issue and it's
being distributed like a worm so it's spreading extremely fast hitting a ton
of I think it's countries for the viewers who don't
know that's a really kind of a big topic
okay um that's fine I mean the the the the 30 second sort of a worm versus like
opening up an attachment on your computer it's going to try to grow
itself and it's going to try to travel around and expand by itself it's not
it's not like a targeted attack they're not going we want lonus Tech tip servers
I'm going to try to hit this dude with it they're letting it try to crawl
around on its own got it so
organizations in at least 74 countries have been affected with Russia being
disproportionately affected followed by Ukraine India and Taiwan it is spreading
at a rate of about 100 IPS per minute
now there is an insane amount of ips out there but that is really fast uh they're
demanding like I said about $300 to $600 paid in Bitcoin
unsurprisingly um by May 15th or if you miss that deadline there
will apparently be a higher fee by May 19th and the messages left on the screen
say files will remain encrypted it's not clear if there are flaws in the
encryption scheme that might allow the victims to restore the files without
paying the ransom it's a little unlikely I'd say according to an article posted
by Madrid based elmundo 85% of computers
at telefonica Spain's dominant Telecom are affected by the worm although that
has not been confirmed woo wow so basically
um I set up snapshotting on our sh
today I hadn't gotten around to it yet on the Vault yeah um so that's a
thing uh so actually I I guess this this leads us to
a pretty good discussion I guess around how to protect yourself against
ransomware yeah so one of the ways in
would you the most effective way is what
SN snapshot is good but you it would be very helpful if you saved snapshots on a
service that wasn't always connected because it's a worm so it could just
potentially encrypt both of them then you have two ransomware machines um okay
so the way okay so okay okay okay so let's back up a little bit snapshotting
what it does is without um without
creating a completely separate copy like snapshotting a a 70 let's see how big is
the Vault right now 160 terabytes is how much data we're actually using right now
snapshotting A 160 terabyte um
share by duplicating it would be super
dumb yeah like using up 320 terab of
space just to have another copy would be bad but that's not how it works the way
it works is it actually only logs
changes so you have the original one and then you have logged changes after that
that's right so let's say I deleted a one tbte folder from my 160 terab that
means that okay apparently the National Health Service was affected and lots of
data has been lost wow lots of patient data
wow okay okay so back to back to how to
protect yourself okay so what snapshotting does is let's say I deleted
a one tbte folder from my 160 until I
reach the end of how long I want to keep my snapshots so you set up a profile
like say for example you snapshot every hour for 24 hours and then every day for
seven days and every week for four weeks that would be a pretty typical sort of
uh load out and then every month for 12 months people might do something along
those lines um so until that terabyte
folder that I deleted reaches the end of all of my retention sort of um setup
reaches all the one big thing to pay attention to
here is if you're snapshotting everything yes um you want to make sure
that whatever you're putting it on I was going to explain that but my brain is
dumb okay okay okay okay so Total Space on
disk you don't get to get rid of stuff you've deleted until after it's like
fallen off the end of how long you retain your snapshots there that's what I was going for well I just am clearly
unqualified today so basically the way that it works on our servers is that the
snapshotting is done on the ZFS pool
level and then the way that the data is
actually visible over our network is
through a Som share so we are snapshotting the pool so the snapshots
themselves are never actually
visible to anything that is connected to our server via the network so that's one
way that you can decouple your snapshotting solution from computers on
the network that because it's a worm and it spreads over the network could
otherwise infect it and encrypt it because if you think that you're keeping
your data safe just by having it on a
Nas that is not the case at all something that gets onally not right now
something that gets onto your computer if that computer and that user that's
logged in on your computer has right access to that share it can do whatever
it wants to it including encrypting the data there did I did I get there
eventually I I think so and uh one of the mods in the Forum thank you very
much I'm not going to say your name because it's like actually your full name on here and I don't know if that's
okay or not um has said that depending
on how your snapshots are set up it may be useless against something like this
worm uh because it is designed to delete Windows File history backups Shadow
volume copies Etc so it's it's a little little
aggressive if you want to be like super
duper sure one of the things that you could do is back up onto a device like
an external hard drive or something and then just unplug it yep the easiest way
to defend against something that is spreading over a network is to not be on
the network there you go so apparent if if
we want to keep on diving into this I can go through like the point to point of how it works yeah I would actually
love to hear about that this is actually in our notes but the the installer
creates an encrypted zip with all of the malware files the malware files are
extracted with Ransom notes in all popular languages Wan Cryptor will then
download a tour client tour is used to communicate with ransomware servers at
onion addresses it gives everyone permissions to all files and folders all
database and mail server processes are stopped as data used by these will be
encrypted too all files are encrypted when encrypted the WN cry extension is
added it stores the following in every folder that is at pleas
readme.txt Ransom note at wac crypto.exe
decryptor um it requests admin privileges from the user with UAC prompt
to do the following clear the shadow volume copies disable Windows start up
recovery and clear Windows Server backup history uh the computer background is
changed and wanted decryptor 2.0 launches with the ransom note in your
local language language well that's convenient it's actually rather
sophisticated wow it's a little aggressive so like if you like store
your super important might get audited tax information or something on like a
Nas that's like USB plugged into your
computer so maybe unplug it or
something an encrypted file
container could sit there and you might think that
that's safe but this could actually take your encrypted file container and
encrypt and encrypt that yeah cuz you have layers of encryption just you
started mentioning things like tax returns and I know like I'm I was I was
actually like I'm just I'm thinking about it from an Linus Media Group perspective and I was like okay hold on
a second where's that container that contains all of lus media groups that
stuff right yeah that's not that's not safe unless it's on um so so the way
that I set it up is okay though right I think so yeah we can go over it after
more if you want I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure um lots of stuff has changed
since I've been like integral to the server stuff right so I don't 100% know
but we can go over it all right NVIDIA this was posted by doc on the Forum the
original article here we have is from pcworld.com
NVIDIA announces a Volta GPU I did not see this
one coming I didn't think Volta was coming for a bit actually so for those
of you who aren't aware this is the update to NVIDIA's Pascal architecture a
lot of people are saying like oh this is already patched in March a lot of people
running servers don't automatically download every patch that comes out
and have their updates disabled which is why it's sort of a big
deal that's like a super big deal and that's why people are very widely
talking about companies that are getting affected because a lot of companies might be running servers that don't have
Windows update enabled or they might have um they might have a domain
controller that has a policy that you know tells the the entire fleet of
deployed laptops not to install updates except when they decide to roll them out
like there's a lot of there's a lot more to the world than just like the way that
an individual uses a computer so every single person having Windows update on
automatic is not a reality that we existed I mean that's what we do but no
no no servers oh servers no but I like
but okay yeah I'm also a big stupid nerd though and I'm like often in the server
room at the end of the day and when no one else is here I'll be like oh good no
one else is here and I'll like install updates and reboot the server so ours
are probably actually fine I've I've done them pretty recently yeah but like
there is a lot of people that might not have that update is what I'm trying to
get across I just you know I do kind of wish that Microsoft would make it clear
when it's actually that
important instead of like trying to force you to update to Windows 10 with
that said you know what um our active directory domain server did uh
completely restart on its own and that was about three three weeks ago I think
so I'm actually kind of wondering 3 four weeks ago I'm wondering if that was an
update getting rolled out and if that was like if that was the like hey you
actually really need to do this stage and it just did it cuz I tried to log
into it and it was uh it was hung on the
like Windows is restarting please don't turn off your computer I'm sitting here
going really
really all right back to Volta so this
is NVIDIA's update to the Pascal
architecture but if you are wondering
what relevance this has to your gaming experience in the immediate future the
answer is very little if none at all
this thing is an absolute monster this
could be if not the biggest it is one of
the biggest pieces of silicon ever made it has a ridiculous
look at that this article even called it ridiculous ridiculous
85 millim squar die to put that in
perspective the biggest gpus we've ever seen and we actually just finished and
NVIDIA gpus Through the Ages bit um the
biggest ones we've ever seen things like R9 290x from AMD so
r600 um I'm trying to remember which ones from NVIDIA that have crept up near
that 600 mm squared size actually the
outgoing p100 um was around 600 plus millim
squared this is like 30% bigger then
it's it's like it's like it's like building it's like the
canyonero of gpus and I I guess that
reference is a little bit dated now but it's it's like 30% bigger than any other
plane that flew that day um unbelievable
it's using hbm2 memory and it has over
5,000 Cuda cor with 21 billion
transistors this thing is unreal so this will be uh this will be
the GPU that's the heart of the Tesla
V100 which is like man I was so bummed
um cuz I went earlier this week I went down to uh Simon Fraser University to do
an unboxing of their new supercomputer it hasn't been formally benchmarked yet
actually like they're still very much installing it the the storage servers
haven't been spun up yet like it's it's in progress um so I went down to to get
hands on with it and pretty much as I
was sliding out a shelf of p100s and I
was like nerding out over it I got a notification on my phone that NVIDIA
dropped the v00 I was like this is how it feels to
be a computer Enthusiast that's pretty brutal I
literally just touched this for the first time and it's
obsolete um so not only is this a huge
die but it's actually using a new
process technology as well so in instead
of being 16 nanm this one is 14 nanm as
I recall 12 nanometer it is 12 nanometer
what the balls and I think uh Pascal is
yeah Pascal is 14 nmet sorry so I had I was off by two there freaking crazy
apparently the R&D budget was over3
billion so if you had some hope that Vega was going to show up and take the
wind out of NVIDIA sales um well okay I
don't know how many people are going to be buying v00 no but this like in terms of
consumers okay a$3 billion R&D budget
goes into the architecture yeah that's true that gets you the architecture that
NVIDIA has demonstrated they've been very good at scaling up and scaling down
for more and less performance and power consumption um
so AMD already had no
answer to Pascal
yeah poor AMD and if you imagine for a
moment that AMD had $3 billion to blow
on Vega you got another thing coming I
yeah I'm holding out hope I believe they have negative $3 billion to blow in VGA
I I hope that AMD can do something you
know crazy here and uh and just kind of
Blindside everybody but this is this is
a real shot across the bow not even
giving AMD a chance to show off Vega's performance before they're like yep we
have like working Hardware here it is we're ready to rock holy
crap all right then um sponsors sure
yeah we got some sponsors for the show today this episode is brought to you by
Squarespace Squarespace is the way to build your own beautiful website whether
it's uh you know all about nuts and you
just want to tell everybody everything you know whether you're running the uh
you know the local peeeee soccer team football football sorry sorry if I say
football then anyone people can interpret that word to mean whatever
they want okay local football team and you just want people to be able to find
out your your game schedule and how to you know how to join the team or or
whatever it is if you want to build a website and you want it to look Pro Even
If You Don't Know Jack squat all about building a website Squarespace is the
way to do it with seriously in like a few hours you can go from zero to
picking out a template even like writing from scratch all the copy you want for
your page putting in all of your images and having it makes it much more like
making a really cool document instead of like needing to know how to code and all
this kind exactly so you can go in just a few hours from only knowing like
photos and text to having a working website that's Rock Solid stable and
looks great on any device because all of their templates use responsive design um
I mean what what else can I really say about it I like that they have Commerce
modules so like if you do want to sell stuff through your site uh maybe maybe
maybe you know how to code and you can make your own website but you don't really want to manage this other website
that like maybe your mom is making small Trinkets and doesn't want to use Etsy or
whatever and wants to have her own little store um you could set her up
with Squarespace so that you don't have to manage it you know it'll always work
with all the browsers all the time could you hypothetically do that yes yes this
is this maybe happened um so head over to squarespace.com
and use offer code when to save 10% you
know what actually speaking of which uh my brother uh breeds aquatic lizards and
stuff actually I I didn't I don't know if I don't know if I
talked about that that's that's been like a passion for him and I I actually
my my contribution to his entrepreneurial spirit and I actually
this I have officially actually paid for
Squarespace now oh I bought him a year of Squarespace there you go um it was
that's a good like here push start your
business I was just like like I mean to be clear it's not free like it does cost
money but compared to the the time that's involved in trying to set up
something scratch built or even something that's a kit but more complicated it's been totally hands off
even though my brother's not super techy I was just like here here's your login
account drag and drop move things around and he's stoked on it that's awesome
great just helping improve discoverability for your business I I
can't believe I've never told that anecdote before that was like Christmas time yeah weird that's cool anyway
speaking of your small business if you're looking for for an accounting why
haven't I hooked them up with fresh books yet wow I
suck you did you went 50% of the way
okay does he have a birthday coming out that was Christmas right you know what August there you go yeah why don't I
just hooked my brother up with freshbooks for his birthday okay so
fresh books is the super simple way to handle the back end of managing your
business so logging hours um tracking
expenses sending out inv invoices to people you can send professionall
looking invoices in less than 30 seconds
I think that's the 30 second one less than whatever it's it's really fast um
their app has a feature that lets you see when your clients look at the
invoice for the first time one of my favorite things and would probably be
helpful for your brother is that if you get receipts or something because you
buy like say aquatic lizard food um you
can take a picture of it with your phone and it will automatically take care of
all your expenses yeah it's it's actually it's pretty it's pretty lit for
lizard tanks um the mobile app has all the functionality of the desktop version
so you can take it with you on the go and if you have any questions you can
reach out to their support staff where you will speak to a real human
immediately no phone tree no escalations no return call it's really funny cuz
this tagline sounds so bad there is no phone tree no escalations no return
calls and then they're like just answers oh oh so it's it's in a good
way so head to freshbooks.com slw and
try it out for free today enter when in the how did You Hear About Us section
when you sign up for your free trial and oh I I'd even forgot to mention they've
got a Mobile card reader as well so you can even accept payments directly
through the platform um I have one more
ad technically but this is more of like us just talking about our thing wow that
Banner looks terrible yeah it really does that is the worst looking Banner
that we have ever made it's not going to
it looks awful what happened to it I
mean I think they just took the logo and just put it on the gray background and
then never looked at it and we're just like cool it's done I bet pella's to
blame for this cuz he uh he did a lot of
the work on the logo way to go way to go Pella um anyways anyways we're having a
tech Carnival which is like a weird mixture between con and Carnival some of
the ideas with that is like it's going to be tech-based and we're all going to be there and there'll be cool fun
activities but there will also be like a Nerf shooting range maybe maybe so the
activities are very much up in the air I don't know if you're cced on the emails
but depending on how many people sign up uh what the event actually is might
change oh but the whole team will be there and it'll be it'll be cool and
it'll be fun okay and there'll be stuff to do and you basically hang out with us
for a day yeah um and if that sounds appealing to you then great head over to
ticket rocket. Co SL event SL details
holy crap this is a horrible URL why do we shorten that I'm going to go ahead
and drop that in the thing here and if it sounds horrible then don't come a few
people from my stream have bought tickets from your stream a people from
your stream there's a are they born
yet it's not really a stream so much as a
wow and In fairness I didn't tell them don't come
yeah I'm done now oh my God I'm always
done no well with me yeah um anyways wow
uh yeah so that'll be cool cuz I haven't actually met a ton of them at different
like conventions and stuff but that might have been the worst bit I ever did
was pretty that was that was pretty heavy yeah yeah um all right topics
let's get into let's get back to the wet let's get back into it
yeah okay so some other big news um AMD
is pushing another micro code update to improve ryzen so the original article
here is from tweak toown let's go ahead and pop that up here uh basically
improved ddr4 support which is good because they don't support DDR3 at all
so if they can't improve the ddr4 support then we're in a lot of trouble
um the was leaked by a Gigabyte reps Forum post indicating AMD is pushing out
the micro code update it will add over 20 new registers for the Summit Ridge uh
integrated memory controllers to improve compatibility with Intel optimized ddr4
memory Brands um it'll be deployed
through motherboard vendors as Motherboard BIOS Updates this is crazy this was posted by
random HK kit on the Forum and the original article is from the
BBC UK police to start using minority
reportes means to help with custody
decisions what what it has been tested for 3 years
and is now being readed for a live pilot
apparently it's 98% I can't even fight on here but I remember um it's
98% accurate with uh lowrisk offenders
yeah with low with a suspect of low risk it was accurate 98% of the time and
forecasts for high-risk suspects were accurate 88% of the time so basically
it's designed to classify individuals uh
based on a low medium or high risk of them committing a future offense and
then to decide whether they should be kept in custody uh the system was made
uh so using data so the the the tool is called the harm assessment risk tool or
heart and the data was taken from Durham
police records between 2008 and 2012 it
was then tested in 2013 and the results were monitored over the following two
years so forecasts wow so that so
basically those numbers are based on real forecasts that they made over the
last half a decade or so actually almost a decade isn't that incredible I'd like
to know what they were using for forecasting this data well they're using
whether they caught them doing something again no like um cuz they're guessing if
they're going to be doing something or not so how are they guessing that uh
let's have a look wow I I don't think it's wow here
we go so the system includes data Beyond
but also including a suspect's offending history including their postal code and
gender to some extent what learning models do is bring out into the
foreground hidden and tacit assumptions that have been made all along by human
beings so pretty much they're using machine learning to stereotype
accurately
yeah that's going to be like I think the
giant conversation in like four or five years is going to be that yeah it's like
how much is this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy yeah it's like
and I don't I'm not I'm not going to I don't want this to become like one
of those things where I where I I fell into the Trap where I said I'm not going
to say that someone whose name starts with H was anything very poorly see I'm
not going to I'm I'm not going to do that again think that way yeah but like
what I do what I really start saying like you know skin colors and genders
and you know backgrounds and jobs basically we're going to be making
these arguments 5 years from now that this system is creating self-fulfilling
prophecy of suspicion that that goes
beyond sort of the your racist grandpa
or whatever where be like the computer thinks I can't do this right yes which
is just the system objectively
empirically has decided that I am a a
high-risk individual to be a criminal
and then like does this start becoming public data can that be seen on
employment records like if you're going to hire someone can you see their risk profile that
would stop anyone from having the chance of being able to rise above yes which is
like really brutal that's terrifying I'm super not cool with that um now to be
clear it's not all the decisions that it is helping or that is helping with seem
like that big of a deal like one of the things is to decide whether to keep a
suspect in custody for a few more hours
whether to release them on bail before a charge or after a charge has been made
whether to reprimand them in custody now
that one doesn't sound very good but the bit about for few more hours that's
probably fine it seems like saving a little bit
of someone's time instead of like so the forecasting model's output is advisory
yeah and should not remove discretion from the police officer using a b come
on except if the police officer's job becomes easier because of this to use it
and and it becomes an ass covering measure yeah where oh well it told me
yeah if I'm a cop I'm you know if I know that even 88%
of the time I'm going to get it right if I just do what the computer tells me and
like it might it might come to the point where like yeah it's advisory but if you go against the advisory well you went
against the advice that will raise a flag and you know have to go talk to
your boss and explain why that's right you went against the best advice that
you could you created extra paperwork and headache for yourself your boss is
gonna be pissed off because why do I have to have this stupid meaning you could you should have just gone with the
computer or whatever wow terrifying um oh cool Microsoft
confirms keyboard for Xbox one for sure
and also some mice and in the future they plan on having all mice
working um now it's going to have to be supported by developers so rip everyone
but as we already know there's a lot of like emulation stuff that can happen now
console Gamers can put up with crappy console Port UI
nonsense yeah that's great like the Grand Theft Auto Options for changing
your graphical settings that are just broken AF for no reason or hey I loaded
it again with a minor Hardware change time for those to be all reset press a
to continue and you're
like why doesn't work oh enter Oh you
mean enter or sometimes space bar yeah
yeah as it were uh that's still pretty
cool I love that they are finally getting this like convergence thing
going why did why did we treat the Xbox One like not a computer for so long like
absolutely is a computer it makes it's so frustrating so it says initially most
models of mice won't be compatible however a handful of mice will be and
Microsoft hopes to add support for all mice over time but even then developers
will have to code support for this new control system into their games that
could be easy for games that are already developed for Windows with uwp porting
in mind but it might be a bigger lift for more control Centric de developers
certain games that are multiplayer I'm so stoked on that yeah it's going to be
really interesting cuz for a while we've had like these weird we had one in
office for a little while and it was just so janky and broken that we decided
not to do a video on it they were like so butt hurt over that they were
emailing me for like 6 months after well make a better product when is the review
going up when is the review going up you remember me following up with you I'd be like hey when's that review going up and
you're just like eventually you're just like
never I don't remember what company it
was from but we had this little box where you could plug a keyboard and
mouse into an Xbox and it was just it
was just kind of garbage so we never made a video on it but now that it has
like official support it could be really good yeah NVIDIA's new headquarters will
be liquid cooled with a triple fan solution the original article here is
game debate.com and uh it actually looks I think it
looks kind of dumb but it's a big triangle made up of like tesselated
triangles and it's going to have two floors and capacity for up to
2500 employees there will be a large Central Courtyard which every Department
feeds into and this is an effort to quote unquote capture the energy and
Buzz of the company hooray
okay um so that's neat Jensen does not
have an office here it's another weird random bit of information um he does not
have an office in the big new headquarters really yep so he's just
going to like walk around and check on people I or like be somewhere else I
don't know interesting but yeah apparently there's no office there under
the floor there's a giant garage and the building has a snaking system of pipes
that feed into a hidden water tower sunk into the roof of the building um the
Recycled water is then filtered through an evaporation system utilizing three
giant fans to keep the building cool so that's that is that is pretty cool uh
actually um SFU supercomputer is using
evaporative cooling as well oh cool yeah and the way that they did it is really
neat so I want to know now you would you would imagine evaporative cooling so on
the most basic level evaporative cooling would be you've got Cooling tubes you
expose the water to air flow so that it
some some of the water molecules evaporate and you effectively cool down
the remaining droplets to subambient temperatures and then that gets
circulated but the problem with an open system is that you contaminant you get
contaminants in it so um oh right and the other thing you
would probably assume is that the water being pumped around the data center goes
to the heat generating components like say for example CPUs and GP to use and
then there's a hot side that carries that water back out to be cooled so two
things that are going to blow your mind there's the water cooling system for the
building but there are no blocks installed on
anything and they're using evaporative cooling but the actual coolant being
recirculated is not exposed to the elements so how does that work so the
radiators outside the building there's
an automated system that when the coolant temperature goes above a certain
threshold they basically have a big fire hose wow that sprays them down and I was
like that is so cool so they can maintain their 17°
coolant Target in up to 30° weather wow
yes what and then they have uh they have an extra Chiller that can kick in if we
get like up really high and and you know
boost the now now back to the servers
they're all air cooled how are they doing sub ambient um with evaporative
cooling so by spraying water on the fins
it it it cools the fins wow that's so much ridiculous so it's not going to be
just sometimes they're going to spray it fairly often yes okay yeah they were
saying that in high I thought you were just saying like in particular load they
would spray it so in high temperature low humidity the water evaporates nearly
instantly so they can just keep blasting it it gets super cold wow that's wild
really neat and then in the servers get
this they are drawing in air from the
room okay just from the room they're
just air cooled servers so they've got ducting so there it's all taped up and
sealed up every cabinet so it so all the air goes in one way there's no there's
uh there's no kind of like inefficiency from back pressure forcing to be
recirculated within the cabinet and then
what they've got is massive radiators on
the back of every rack that are so thick
and so dense that when you stand so if you open up the door and stand behind it
it feels like a server rack it's like freaking hot like 30° C you close the
door and it's like a cool breeze oh that's so weird it's incredible it's
amazing and it's super efficient cool
um so a typical data center I forget what the cuz you're making a video on
this right oh it's already yeah it's this is in production already I filmed
it y it's it's lit it's amazing um so a
typical data center in a perfect I forget what the the scale is you're
saying it's lit now yeah I know in a perfect world in a perfect world the
scale is one would be like ideal you can never achieve that yeah free efficiency
on whatever the scale is a typical Data Center is 1 and 1/2 to two they're at
1.07 because their cooling system is so efficient because pumping a little bit
of water especially in Rain couver yeah
yeah yeah no big deal not a big deal Hydra up here like doesn't matter yeah
like like like I think I get a water bill but I don't know how much it costs
cuz it's not a big deal and like even power cuz our power is like waterbased
so like BC is one of the worst places for solar power I'm like so interested
in solar power but it's so useless for me because power is relatively cheap and
we have an extremely low amount of like natural sunlight because we have so many
clouds um there's like other places in Canada that are way more effective for
solar power than BC is okay did you talk about this
before no okay cool this is old news but I'm mad so we're going to talk about it
anyway Intel re get Intel rebrands their Z online
announces new Chips based on Skylake so the original article here is from
extreme Tech gone is Zeon E3
E5 Etc here is platinum gold silver and
bronze because apparently Intel's naming
scheme folks while they the old system was near
indecipherable at least it had like some years of
continuity so it was somewhat easy to keep track of what was going on
Generation by generation now they don't
want us to be able to understand what's going on and they also completely lack
creativity unbelievable I don't really have any redeeming stuff for that I
think you found another Techquickie video to make though yeah Tech Qui like
half the videos on techi should just be explaining naming schemes yeah and then
we should just encourage more companies to have really wono naming schemes cuz
like what I don't like about this is in a lot of situations maybe a silver is
exactly what you want and having a platinum one might literally be worse
yeah cuz we've definitely run into that yeah so it's not actually like oh it's
just factually better if it's in a higher tier and it'll cost more that's
not actually true this is fantastic this was originally posted by n Tony on the
Forum and uh Open Bench
table seemingly as a direct response to
us dropping our test benches now has a
3D printable vertical stand I was wondering
why they sent this to me cuz the the guy emailed me directly being like hey by
the way there's now 3D printable stands and I was
like okay and that actually makes a lot
of sense now
oh man yeah we should probably print some of those yeah that might be a good
idea I guess that's pretty much it is there anything else you really wanted to
hit today uh Floatplane um scard Wars
oh oh yeah okay so people have been hounding
us when is scrapyard Wars actually coming because the um the the the the
teaser just said May soonish because Ed
is a gigantic troll yeah um scrapyard
Wars does have a firm release State the
first episode is coming to float playing Club this weekend um we have a like a
night specifically uh it's I I don't yes
we do but I don't remember what it is um
oh man Ivon was actually like stoked she
was like hey do you want to watch scrapyard Wars with me tonight and I was
like yeah that's the trailer she's like what no wait what well when's it
coming I want to watch it I want to watch it before everybody else boiler
boiler was like when is it being
uploaded so it is first episode coming
this weekend to Floatplane so the following weekend to YouTube so there'll
be episodes will be coming one week apart we've we've got the production
process streamlined enough now that we can we can commit to that and then there will
be a one we delay between Floatplane
club and YouTube so if you guys are wondering how to be the first to get
your hands on scrapyard Wars basically
what you do is you head over to the store on the lonus tech tips Forum there
will be a better system for this in the future I promise but you head over to
the store and you buy a subscription to
float plan club which gives you access don't worry I know um I got this which
gives you access to uh hold on no no
it's it's fine I think we're good now actually we're good you're not even
supposed to be using a lap I I promise the admin team on the Forum that you not
I know but I'm they were trying to take your admin account away uh okay but and
it was like put to a vote and you lost I like tried to veto it cuz I said you
would use a different laptop and then you told me that you would get it done
I'm not today but you can see how aware of it okay approval to share my
screen sure okay find us the screen
don't click on anything I'm not clicking on anything I'm not clicking on anything
so you will get access to a hidden sub Forum on the Forum there's a button up
here to go to it Floatplane club and then you'll see all the stuff that is
out on Floatplane but isn't out yet on
YouTube so we've got the world's smallest video drone we've got Channel
super fun I think on YouTube we're going to call this video uh this game was
banned yeah CU we have to cuz it was
yeah um we have best desktop graphics for your laptop so we take a proprietary
solution versus Thunderbolt 3 and Benchmark the snot out of it that's
really interesting actually really good video um we've got uh removing thermal
compound the best way we test I think it's over over a dozen different liquids
I drank some of them once we were done uh LTT is bigger worse the alien wear 15
gaming laptop review uh this one was a simultaneous
release we've got the most bizarre keyboard that one's going to be fun
there's also like little bits that you're doing from every now and then
yeah I don't do that very often though that's like the post but theoretically
there's some more sort of discussion in there um yeah so there you go this is
the one that went up on that went up on YouTube just now and yeah in a couple
days scrap red Wars will be there yes it will which is so exciting actually I'm
so interested in what happened with them do we know how many episodes there are do you want to talk okay uh I believe
hold on you know what I don't want to say something wrong so do you want to
talk about some of the beefing up that you've done the beefing up no in antic
oh you don't want to nope not at all oh
I might make a uh I might make a post on the Floatplane sub
Forum but I don't want to talk about it hopefully everything will be fine and
people let me let me give me one second I have an
idea no nope no it going to
work
seven okay hold on hold on a minute it's going to be seven episodes because the
feedback people told me it was too long
really how long were episodes before 45 minutes 45 minutes well I could have
told you that was how long are they now 45 minutes what what what what hold
on seven episodes for the season no more
episodes I hate you are they are they actually 45 minutes 45 minute episodes
isn't that how long the last ones were I don't remember he keeps creeping up the
runtime he's going to be doing 3our episodes but he's just going to start
releasing the whole thing uncut at some point and see if I
notice it's just going to be like yeah you know what it was easier this way
people tell me it's good though like despite the runtime it's good uh some
notable people are like Jay ad Venom
okay Kyle okay so four episodes 45 minutes each
coming over the next month I'm going to drop that link in the chat again because
you guys should really get signed up for Floatplane Club um it actually is
pretty awesome um I mean do you want to talk about any of the cool stuff you're
doing not really oh you're such a you're
such a a kill jooy right now I to test
it more the thing with FPL Club is if it works really well most people won't
notice and that's like the point yeah cuz it should just
work no I guess but that's like yep that's fine
just just keep me posted and everything will be fine
um okay hold on I just want to can we
try a live demo again yeah okay cuz I think last time we tried one at see like
that's what I like that I just don't want to okay yeah I'll make a post about
more stuff and I'll I'll I'll I'll figure out things that I want to talk
about I just I don't really like talking about things a ton before they've
matured a little bit and I'm like sure that they're fine all right all right
and like if something fails with it or something weird I don't want people to
be like what the heck all right okay so let's have a look at the world's
smallest video drone video here yes the
cancerous thumbnails are still there a lot of the time look at that did you see
that play okay but hold on hold on cuz
we're going easy on it second longer yeah okay so
1080p wow look at that look at that
preview look at how fast that loads in baby
drone that's not too bad you got some yeah yeah it wasn't too bad look at that
performance hey do you remember when YouTube buffered so that you could skip
ahead like nearly instantly like that do you remember the good old
days that's how every video player should work I think oh it did a flip
anyway the point is um to to to those
wondering Floatplane is working we are
we are it is more successful by the week
which is one of the reasons that we've been talking about it more on Wow there
have been sort of less and less issues week by week um so yeah we definitely
recommend joining if you want the best scrapyard Wars experience some very
exciting things happened in the LA I I don't necessarily want to talk about them yet uh maybe next week we'll see
how well it goes and we'll see how much more like buffing up of it we do cuz
there might be more expansion that we do with it and Etc etc etc but some really
exciting things have happened recently that I thought were going to take like months to do because boiler is a genius
and things went really well contrary to uh the haters um did did we get enough
good applicants that you feel pretty good about our chances of development uh
so we actually got a lot of really good applicants the coding challenge is finishing up this Sunday at midnight um
and some people have already started submitting their projects I don't know
why cuz they have the whole weekend but I guess they're busy over the weekend um
and some of the projects that I've seen already so far are
like pretty good yeah so I'm I'm even
more excited to like see what people take the whole weekend to finish up
polishing and all that kind of stuff but I'm not going to grade anybody any different depending on when they handed
in see I've got to address this the same
thing was said about vessel how successful it was and it was an epic
failure in the end so Eed it lonus the
thing is is that vessel had a very different model vessel was a startup
with like over a100 million we think of
venture capital that they managed to burn through in 18 months now I've never
had any outside
investment so that is not the way that I
personally run the businesses that I own
Andor am a stakeholder in it is not the way that I believe in doing business
having a really high burn rate and just
kind of hoping that what I don't know
what they were hoping for to be perfectly honest now that we know how
their infrastructure worked it was way too expensive I don't know how they
could have ever possibly hoped to make a profit I feel like the goal the whole
time was just to try to get eaten and bought out by somebody because like it
it seems insane so remember too though
the people saying what a great huge success that vessel was were the people
that were trying to talk other people into joining it or complete Outsiders
from like an investor relation standpoint yeah we don't need
investors and we are not recruiting anybody to join Floatplane Club at this
time we are just really happy that an internal project is going really really
well and to be fair if we were saying that vessel was going well we were
probably talking about like well our production our production schedule is
working and it's and our fans seem to be happy and that kind of stuff we weren't
talking about like profit structures and whatever else
yeah um so yeah no hot keys and stuff that is
a thing that will happen eventually yeah
we're not going to work on that yet ah what if we don't have a credit card to
use on PayPal for Floatplane that is something that we are working on can can
we give any progress update on that uh the the final site that is being
developed on we'll be using stripe and PayPal so if you can't use PayPal for
whatever reason there's various reasons why you might not be able to use PayPal
we can accept whatever cards through stripe and stripe has a lot of different
things that they can accept accept they're a pretty good system yeah so it
won't be tied to just PayPal forever while it's on the Forum it will be just
PayPal yeah yeah
um you know what there's a lot of actually pretty decent questions in here
why don't we stop the land show and do a short after party sure okay so thanks
for watching same bat Time same bat Channel bye we'll back in a
second how dare you tell me to go away you cud how dare
you I know you would dare to do far more than that to me
uh Still Still streaming oh and we're also doing a short after party so oh
okay uh
