live you can tell at the bottom of the screen
oh boy we um are late
and for that we are sorry only by 19 minutes only by 19.49 depending on how
you count it we technically have a new start time five o'clock but
i don't know if we ever officially announced that Colton changed it uh
because we were never on time anyway the point is this time
we were learning while i was learning luke was showing me
a different streaming software yeah so this will be the first rant show
streamed on obs yeah not necessarily because we think obs is
unequivocally better than xsplit no
uh which it isn't um but because xsplit has had an utterly
game breaking bug for us for the last couple of weeks that has made it take
about half an hour to 45 minutes of extra time after the show to
de-corruptify the corrupted video output
and then upload it to youtube so it's been kind of a pain in the arse which has
mostly resulted in us like downloading the vod off of twitch
so that we can mess with it which takes a while because it's an hour plus long
stream sometimes twitch takes a while to process that then you have to download
which all makes sense which all makes sense and it's fine it's just a pain in
the butt and we don't want to do that anymore so yeah the WAN Show to be very
clear there's pros and cons with both on obs but
yeah now we're doing this um what else do we have this week oh
yeah rate the news so NVIDIA announced the titan v
and you can have one for the value price of only three thousand dollars we'll
talk about what exactly you get for your money AMD and qualcomm joined forces for
always connected pcs what else we got
nice hash was breached 64 million dollars of bitcoin was stolen that
valuation is going to constantly change so there's about 4 700 coins and this is
in rapid fire actually but damn uh AMD
silently lowers Radeon rx 560 specs
start with the interesting news end with the super bad news all right hold on i'm
updating i'm updating that nice hash number
uh was 4 700 coins stolen right yeah roughly i think so that is now 76.6
million because bitcoin has been like
lately it does that all right let's roll that intro baby
oh there's no transition
yeah you like those indicators baby i do
show me your indicators
i almost made a very specific way too far joke but no it's cool let's move on
titan v uh yeah let's talk about the titan v v
is completely what we're just talking you know what i've got to give NVIDIA a lot of credit
here for doing the right thing with this graphics card now this was posted by max
settings okay this is posted by max settings
on the forum um
and uh hold on a second and uh the original article here is from anantek i
think it's kind of neat that max settings shared a post about a
3 000 graphics card so NVIDIA did the
right thing here rather than confuse consumers
by calling their product iphone x but then 10
NVIDIA called it titan v instead of like
titan five which incidentally would it is it the
fifth titan hold on a second now you got the titan you got the titan black i
think it's going to depend you've got the titan x you've got the titan
xp and the xp and the xpp so no technically it is the sixth titan now if
they hadn't screwed up and had both a titan xp which
was you know what if you count what it actually says on the shroud
yeah there you go i guess because the titan
didn't have the black filled in on the titan word the titan
black did but it was the same same silver shroud
then wait the titan you'd have four
which one had the actual black shroud hold on we might be missing one here
kepler maxwell pasquale
titan something titan yeah what was the titan what was the titan black just
tight and black which one actually got yeah let's see let's see a picture though uh which one actually got like a
black shroud no so it was absolutely the titan x that got a black shroud yes okay
okay cool so if we ignore
the one that didn't get a p on the end of it the titan x pascal
which i basically did ignore so i think i could i could stick with
that did we make a video for that or did we just rant but on wednesday i don't think we did yeah i don't think we can
win so if we agree that only graphics
cards that we do a review video of count
then this is the fifth titan okay okay that only we do
we ordered one what a way to yeah i heard yeah wow i uh
so i reached out to NVIDIA yo are you guys providing review samples of this
thing and they said
i'm not surprised at all i'm not even remotely surprised they
said literally nothing that was the joke um yeah and so i'm kind of sitting here
going well okay i'm not gonna i'm not gonna wait around and find out titan z
i don't count the titans either we didn't review it
okay see this is a very convenient definition
where if i don't decide that something counts it doesn't count
this is a fun way to live the world live the world
live my life it also wasn't a different GPU perceive the world interpret the
world yeah that's true it was it was two gpus yeah there see mind you titan black
isn't a different GPU from titan
i mean it's just it's just black
and it's not even that much blacker it's just black text so
yeah my minor details um
okay so right what do we have to say about the titan v
last night i i i love that the place they announced it was the nips
conference because you know
this is a pretty hot announcement you know but nips
anyway um so they announced the titan v it has a golden shroud now which is just
oh beautiful perfect what were they why pick another color thinking like you
know it was like a few generations ago that i zeus did their golden stuff so
you can take a few generations old board pair it with your new three thousand
dollar graphics card that was like pc67 no it's been more recent than that
no yeah no no ASUS hold on a second ASUS
goldboard you were making fun of this stuff on the couch at the old house
you're drunk no no you're drunk yeah but they were old boards by then okay hold
on where's that here here's one of their stupid gold boards what's it okay z87
all right all right all right okay z87
still that's
how old is that no it's perfect three thousand dollar graphics card that board
boom put it together best combination i mean what is it is this like uh
isn't everything kind of going gold these days like is this just because of
the iphone do i have apple to blame for this a graphic everybody else the entire
rest of the computer industry is like okay
fine we give up everything's going to be grayscale so black gray or white and
we'll put RGB lighting on so everything matches everything else maybe that's why
actually because a very minor amount i don't like gold but a very am i like i
don't know i don't like gold jewelry i don't like whatever but a very minor amount of gold accent on something
that's like blacked out looks pretty sharp a ginormous graphics
card though is not like a small gold
actor go with the monochrome computer which is like popular these days and
then have your black and gold titan
yeah well what are we actually going to see is there a picture of the backplate uh
no because you'll only really see the side in the back plate unless you're
going with like one of those vertical mount systems which was like i'm gonna
i'm gonna assume it's black i'm gonna assume it's black
this thing looks so it's probably gonna be just a minor amount of accenting of
gold on the side that you're actually getting i'm going to have to redo my how to paint your graphics card tutorial
with the new titan shroud because i can't imagine
anyone you should be happy with it like real silver paint
can you get that it's nothing i'm sure that's a thing
huh sounds like poisonous or something i don't know it probably is all right um
so anyway what else can we say about this thing silver paint available for
purchase today three grand so that's almost 4 000 canadian rupees
um which sucks but like
realistically so NVIDIA's policy on
cards that are not intended for gamers is that they don't generally seed them
to gaming press but gaming press
wants to know how this thing performs for games
and other things gamers want to know how this thing performs
in games so the way that we see it we're kind of
taking one for the team here we absolutely
have to get one and run some games on it and see how it goes from there because
the specs on this thing are ridiculous this is the same GPU as the tesla v100
which is apparently a ten thousand dollar graphics so really we should all
stop complaining because you're getting a seven thousand dollar discount
beautiful no no no no complaints here give me four
this is targeted at machine learning scientists who want to simply install
the card in their desktop pcs and not rely on a special server or storage or
networking so it keeps the titan branding as
opposed to GeForce titan
and it'll have massive memory bandwidth yes it's using hbm2 memory 12 12 gigs
freaking gigs of it that's a lot and it has uh
was this hbm2 to be clear 110
it says dl in here but i'm sure that means dual precision um teraflops so
that's nine times oh deep learning teraflops sorry that's nine times the
deep learning computing horsepower of its predecessor uh 1455 megahertz boost
clock this is a massive 815 millimeter
square die i believe this was the largest of all time
like single monolithic dye i don't remember if it actually was but it is it
is very close 80 sms
did i already say 5 120 cuda cores
holy crap it's one side for titan v sli
for compensator uh no no so that's really interesting
at all um so so this is so the previous titan xp was 3840 cuda cores so this is
a new architecture this is volta and it has many
many more cuda cores and uh it has nv link connectors at the top
but this was actually a developing story right as we were starting the lan show
uh there's a thread over on the Linux tech tips forum where people are talking
about this apparently NVIDIA has come out and said it not only does not
support sli because it doesn't have sli fingers it does not support nd link
so the fingers are there but envy link is i guess considered to be a data
center feature and not something that you would need in a single system so
NVIDIA is coming right out
and making dual card configurations
for gaming and then also for
uh to be clear it doesn't matter how they market this people are going to use
it for gaming yeah so now dual card configurations will still work for some
workloads like something like solidworks doesn't require nvlink or an sli
connector you can just have more gpus in and it'll just use more compute
um but where the cards need to communicate with each other not having
envy link will be a disadvantage and for gaming they're just like nope
you know last generation two generations ago we took away three-way and four-way
on this stuff now we're taking away two-way this is just one card per system
boom done wow vapor chamber cooler 16 power phases
250 watt TDP and uh
wow it gets the gv100s full unrestricted
fp64 compute and tensor core performance
and the only real thing that differentiates it from tesla is memory
capacity memory bandwidth and the lack of nv-link functionality it uses the
standard g-force driver stack freakin
cool huh okay well i'm excited to see how
this goes and two people will let you know as soon as it arrives there is no
gaming information at all anywhere on the titan v page this is not like what
NVIDIA has done in the past where they've gone like titan titan z was a
perfect example of this where they're like this thing is was it that one three
grand two i think so titan z was really exciting i think it sounds like three like this thing is thousands of dollars
because it's a professional product not for gamers and then you'd go on like
three grand yeah retailer websites you'd go on ncix or newegg or whatever and
there'd be banner ads using like NVIDIA assets that are like titan z the
ultimate gaming performance yeah it's like okay
is it or is it not well this one there is absolutely nothing in there about
gaming i don't see a single thing that's cool because it's cool because if
they want this to be the non-gaming thing that they keep on saying that
they are well original titan was supposed to be yeah
so this is just kind of coming back to its roots a little bit yeah because it
strayed pretty hard um all right AMD and qualcomm this was
posted on the forum by the username the Linus portal i don't know what a Linus
portal is um i'm gonna try not to be weirded out by it i'm sure it's i'm sure
it's happening
um that gets confusing when working on flow plane anyway the original post here was
from engadget boop AMD and qualcomm join
forces to power higher end connected
pcs so they're going up against Intel's e-sim compatible systems
so in a nutshell
they're teaming up to make always-connected pcs on AMD's ryzen
mobile platform using snapdragon lte modems to enable
gigabit connection speeds
okay so apparently the pair of the processor and this
like always connected chip will make it so you can play something like league of
legends anywhere without wi-fi yeah
okay i mean this is actually something we were talking about like just last
week on the lan show yeah yeah i mean more connectivity for these devices that
now i mean a device like the lg gram the last generation one not the one with the
8th gen processor that one's battery life is not as much but something like a
last-gen lg gram is getting nine plus hours
in like a battery life test and in real usage
can get well over that like sometimes 10 even 12 hours
so having a device like that just be able to be connected literally all the
time is obviously desirable so and you could
theoretically have a laptop that was more performance it wasn't the
performance of the laptop that was hampering the game you could play it's
just this chip in particular that we're talking about so you could get a higher
end laptop that also has this snapdragon x16 lte modem and would be able to game
other things just on that powerful system probably gonna be plugged in so
we have our first all AMD laptop
like not of all time like i probably at some point like eight years ago of
modern era like Linus tech tips covered one like i don't remember it though it
was a long time ago um ASUS sent us over a gaming laptop that's
got polar a polaris GPU and a ryzen CPU so we're going to be checking that out
pretty soon cool AMD is finally relevant in laptops again
or maybe they're not i don't know we haven't tested it yet yeah but there are they got design wins and that's a lot
more than they could say over the last couple of years
oh boy so um i lost about 300
okay okay i'll say that uh the original article here is from reuters
which i will confess i did not know how this was pronounced until like less than
a year ago i thought it was like reuters reuters
and like whenever i heard people say reuters like just kind of
you know on the periphery i thought they were talking about like steroids
like i never like reuters that close attention
that's funny i don't think i've ever attempted to
pronounce it like with no pre-knowledge yeah
i heard the name before i read the names yeah well you know what whatever
i've had enough of you i've had enough of your comments twitch chat which i
don't even have to look at the twitch chat to know that i'm getting like
skinned alive over there yeah so
nice hash which this puts me in a bit of an awkward position because we didn't go
as far as to recommend it oh i didn't even think about this in our recent
video part one of our bitcoin slash
cryptocurrency mining exploration but we did
show it we did talk about what the service does and it was cool and we were
using it yeah which means that when they got hacked earlier this
week we lost about 300 bucks but i'm not
going to complain because the total amount of money lost
is tens of millions of dollars the uh the
headline is 64 million because that's based on what the value was right around
the time that this news broke but it went up last night was huge
i believe was it last night or the night before um it was uh yesterday morning or
like yesterday yesterday your early morning i think it spiked up to like
1800 or something like that it was crazy i thought it was i was out of shape do
you mean early morning isn't like two in the morning um
well i don't know i was at a shoot and it was like
11 a.m my time 10 a.m my time okay so it was like whenever it was very recent
that it spiked up and the value of this yeah and even now it's like 10 million
more about than it was when it first happened so
this isn't the first time this has happened there's been so in this one in
particular there's about 4 700 coins stolen bitcoin stolen uh in in all
there's been 980 000 bitcoins that have been stolen
from exchanges alone that total is worth more than 15 billion
dollars at current exchange rates and that is when they calculated it
before so it's actually worth more now so here's the thing that we should
probably do because um there's oh right so there's been at
least three dozen of these thefts on digital currency exchanges since 2011 uh
including the one that led to the collapse of mount gox which was the
largest bitcoin exchange at the time
um so what i'm kind of thinking is
everyone who wants to get into bitcoin seems to figure out
how to buy it or how to mine it and then i feel like it's really easy to
get lazy about the other stuff you want to get into like cold storage how to
store it how to dump it because the literally
the only way to be 100 certain that your
bitcoin will not be vulnerable to a hack
is to store it completely offline whether that's a hardware wallet yep or
whether that's a cold computer by that i mean like a computer that's not on a
network yeah so some people will even go as far as to store handwritten notes in
safety deposit boxes in traditional banks
and i think that's really something that is worth discussing because
a lot of people are going into this whole bitcoin slash altcoin
cryptocurrency thing thinking that once they google a little
bit and they find you know who the reputable exchanges are
or the reputable wallets are uh once they find that they've got the
equivalent of a bank's type of security
and then to be clear if banks are not perfect either by the way but in
traditional finance it's usually if a bank gets
heisted depends depends how much money is in the account
for example um yeah no i don't know all the details
i just know i've had forever ago my like
debit card got ripped off yeah and a few thousand dollars where the transactions
went through it and i got my money back pretty quick so that is heavily
dependent on your account your financial institution you use a credit union which
back then may have actually been an advantage but maybe no longer is
we could talk about it more offline anyway the point is people google around
they find something that looks reputable yeah you know everyone on reddit upvoted
or whatever else and then they kind of go okay yeah my money is safe there
but in truth there is so much more to it
and like as much fun as it is to buy some bitcoin
at 70 150 is i think what i got in at a little
while ago and i had all i had i had abstained for the longest time and
finally i was just like you know what forget it i'm just gonna i'm gonna buy some um
as much as much fun as it is to look at that and go
i doubled my money over the last three weeks which i did
and i'm feeling pretty good about it unless you actually know how to get it
out and convert it into a fiat currency right now with the volatility of bitcoin
and for that matter cryptocurrency in general people are going to be pissed
that we're saying this but like even just looking at at charts and stuff it
is so it's not even just necessarily volatile because volatile means that it
dies right no it means it varies okay yeah so it is extremely freaking
vulnerable it's extremely volatile and to me currency is not currency unless it
can be exchanged for goods and services and right now
you cannot buy a car with bitcoin at the local
dealer there's right yeah there's gonna be like some person yeah there's some
dealership some dealership somewhere i don't care that is not the point the
point is that if you wanted it let's say
let's say i bought um
a thousand dollars of bitcoin and it went up 10x and all of a sudden i had
ten thousand dollars i wanted to go to like joe's used auto auto lot or
whatever and i was like yo i invested a thousand
dollars in bitcoin i'm gonna buy a car
i cannot do that unless i cash out today
so that's what i mean when i say as much fun as it is to have this
money until you can actually exchange it for goods and services it's just
paper and i kind of slurred my words there which was funny because i kind of
said surfaces you could buy surfaces
whatever you're into cars surfaces razor blades i don't care
um so i mean is that something that we should be starting to maybe do like a
maybe make part of that multi-part bitcoin series that i think
so looking into videos online about this kind of stuff
one of the least documented processes is wallets and storage of your coins
and one of the most important parts about it is wallets and storage of your
coins and when this nice hash thing happens people weren't saying because
you're talking about the bitcoin community right so people weren't coming at it from the angle you were which is
like you need to bring it into fiat currencies uh people were going at it
from the angle of you need to secure your bitcoin people don't understand
okay lol i'm a ducky is paypal currency
then or not yes because it's in a real currency it's
just stored with paypal bitcoin is a real currency and by real i
mean fiat currency i mean a recognized currency
so yeah anyway and to be clear on the volatile thing i looked it up it does
have a negative connotation sure it can have whatever connotation it wants but
that doesn't change that it's very volatile but it is but it's going up so
volatile is like apparently not entirely volatile is specifically a negative
thing okay so erratic in a bad way which it is
but it has mostly been erratic in a good way yes um except when it's not except
when it's not which does happen and you might get screwed on a trade because it
might go but like so far holding has been a very
good strategy um like someone bought real estate with
it recently right we actually specifically said that yes someone
somewhere is taking it but you know there's coffee
shops that take it there's there's websites that take it uh we're looking
into trying to take it for Floatplane subscriptions uh it's a thing there's
there's certain areas there's a cruise that you can go on that you can go on
that you pay for with bitcoin and i think all the transactions while you're on the cruise are done in bitcoin
there's some stuff but it would be it's not it's not the norm
um is what we're trying to say yeah so essentially um
taking it out of bitcoin putting into usd is a generally safer way to deal
with it but your usd can still get stolen everything can still get stolen
that's kind of an important thing to understand but stuff like cold wallets
holding your storage and offline computers different types of wallets using hardware wallets all this kind of
stuff isn't as well documented as most other things in the bitcoin world and when
something like this nice hash thing happens all the smug commenters are going yeah
well you shouldn't have it in a hardware wallet or an offline wallet and most
people responding are like what is that how do you do that yeah and
there there is some resources on it but not a ton
um yeah yeah well let's uh we'll have a
look at that we'll we'll figure out a plan i think part two is going to be i
don't know the more optimized mining machine so
that's mostly done um we actually would have had the motherboard today but it
got sent to north carolina for some reason
yeah long story okay um or connecticut i
don't know it was a u.s something and it had a c in it so
okay yeah it was a city or a state and it had a c at the beginning yeah it
wasn't california i know that much anyway um
so so we would have had ASUS 19 GPU
board even though we're not actually going to be using all 19 slots
so the reason for that get this is in order to run 19 why well bitcoin what do
you think no i but but even for bitcoin why would you get that board um because
then you don't have to have more boards and more RAM sticks and more cpus how
expensive is that for though 200 bucks yeah not too bad yeah so you save your
because i mean the the cheapest the cheapest CPU is like 40 bucks from Intel
anyway but are you putting them all next to each other no the way that it works
is you use uh use extenders
yeah yeah okay yeah so the slots are it's like this thing's hilarious i'll
bring it out i haven't seen it the b250 mining expert oh it's literally
okay i thought you were just buying some like crazy server board i was like dude no no
no no this is like this is oh wall yeah
look at this thing it's ridiculous there's all the slots it's like stupid
um that's amazing so anyway the funny thing
about it is that in order to actually use all 19
six of them have to be NVIDIA's gp 106 based mining
specific card okay exactly six i think
like the manual for this thing is hilarious because check out these oh my
god i just saw that so these power like
different slots and there's like a whole diagram and stuff and then there's like
this diagram for like what types of cards you can install in
what ratios in what slots in order to actually populate all 19 of them so
these guys have to come off the same power supply as this one
in case you were wondering and don't quote me on that i looked at the manual
like a couple hours ago actually there's two two RAM slots two RAM slots
um oh yeah so we've got one of those i'm
even surprised there's four SATA ports
uh yeah yeah what would you need that for it i would have expected you got a
usb 3 header i would have expected two or one yeah
yeah so so yeah so that's gonna be part two
uh part three we're gonna take a look at asic miners and then maybe part four
we'll start to get into storage um how to sell
uh maybe like a part five it would be cool to take a look at some of the tools
that people are using like kraken to not just like google
uh not not just like googling what's the usd to bitcoin conversion but like
kraken has been terrible but yeah okay but some there's a lot of different
tools that people are using taking a look at a handful of them and kind of going okay well here's some of the
advantages and drawbacks of each of them yeah um yeah i mean i i think i think it
would be something that would be very beneficial to the community at large like kraken's charts are super nice and
really rapidly updated yeah but which is cool half the time the site doesn't work
well that's a problem which is you know a pro and con yes
and these are the kinds of conversations that we want to have yeah speaking of
conversations we want to have let's talk about
uh oh i think i think nothing yeah so you don't drag stuff i know i realize
that okay so i want to talk about that we actually
thought for the longest time we still
don't know that well we thought and we might still think we might not be sure
what we think okay but we thought that you weren't allowed to show
man nips on twitch are we doing it so i'm gonna find out once and for all hold
on i'm gonna find out because we actually like fairly regularly have
twitch staff watching our stream so
we're we're doing our mac welding spot today no no no we are going now normally
luke jumps in with the hands and covers the nips yeah and to be clear
i'm not gonna do anything sexual because that's clearly in their terms of service
which i have wondered about okay because if there's a girl on stream yeah
and some dude puts his hands in front
and it doesn't show her nibs i bet you that would still be bannable
even though that's exactly what we did just with two what if he hasn't like an
eight inch or like a buffer because that's often what i yeah
like yeah like a 12-inch buffer like clearly this yeah could be sexual yeah but maybe
this isn't you know maybe okay so here it goes are we gonna get banned
oh
apologies headphone users um because that was probably terrible
i didn't see any staff in chat
oh oh what's going on now no that was that was unrelated oh i thought i
thought the page actually like disappeared i was like whoa that freaks
out we broke the twitchner net
uh okay so mac weldon makers of the shirts that we're wearing believes in
smart design premium fabrics and simple shopping um mac weldon makes super
comfortable clothes whether it's underwear socks shirts undershirts hoodies or sweatpants and this is
awesome they have a line of silver underwear and shirts that are naturally
antimicrobial which and very comfortable i'm not gonna i'm not gonna get judgy
okay you know i'm not saying anything about you know our audience and you know
or like twitch in general and what are the odds that you might benefit from an
antimicrobial shirt see we're not going there
but antimicrobial means that it'll help eliminate odor and if you've ever been
to a lan party i'm not going to generalize but i will say that there are
certain people you'll find someone at any lan party who should probably be
wearing an anti-microbial shirt it's getting a little bit better that's what i'll say yeah that's what i'll say
um so they want you to be comfortable and not smell and if you don't like your
first pair you can keep them and they will still refund you no questions asked
so go check them out at macweldon.com and get 20 off your mac welding
purchases at genie dot us slash
small d small v big g big y big i or
small l i don't know which it is so i'm gonna paste it in the twitch chat slash
it'll be under the video and you guys can click it because that's a better way
to handle that the twitch that right now is fantastic oh are they are they are
they upset about me oh no they're just they're just making jokes about it oh
excellent good i'm i'm never sure if i'm going to make people mad when i'm like
well because here's the thing is like the the culture today
is one of not being able to say things that are true sometimes
and like i'd like to think that most gamers like back when i was going to
lands and you're there for like sometimes 48 hours at a time nobody
leaves so you clearly haven't showered in two days and you've been sitting at
your computer and here's the thing when you're gaming
when competitively gaming the odds of you sweating in a stinky way are
actually higher than if you were working out because stress sweat stinks more
than exercise sweat so you're sitting there gaming you're
like stressed out for two days
you're probably gonna smell and
i mean i'm not some people forget they're i'll say
forget some people are bound to forget their
deodorant that they definitely do own
so but you never know like sometimes your mom bought it for you people are
going to get upset about these things and it's just like you never know what you can what you can actually say right
now okay i'm going to sideline this for a quick second yeah okay all right
this is where i don't know because we are in a little bit of like outragey
kind of culture yeah yeah sure but then
we're also getting older yeah so is this like the old people say
offensive things kind of situation man
like are we becoming the racist grandpa exactly except about like
people who smell yeah like totally different category of stuff
yeah but is that part of what's happening are people who smell becoming
a subculture that you can't discriminate against maybe because here's the thing
all sniffs are equal i'm not gonna name any names but we had a situation at
Linus media group where i had to speak to an employee about his or her hygiene
and i'm really not going to name any names i'm not going to give any hints it was
me no wasn't it oh i thought it was me oh
no that was pajamas yeah that was a separate issue that was
professionalism slash i've probably given you crap about being sweaty at
some time or another but but no i'm not gonna i'm not gonna say who it was but
no i don't even know who this is okay no because that's because it's private well
you did a good job yeah thank you um so i actually did have to speak to an
employee about hygiene at one point and
i really wasn't sure how to do it because
is that discriminatory it's a difficult yeah because it's a
difficult thing they weren't showing up like in in a like a
an indecent garb like they weren't showing up in a in a thong and no pants
like something that's like clearly you know sexually inappropriately smells bad
yeah and um and so
i can i can tell you my solution
um in a way that will make it very difficult for you to track down who it
would have been okay but at some point in our process of doing annual reviews
i added a field about professionalism
and about maintaining appropriate personal hygiene
for the sake of the comfort in the workplace of your
colleagues because i do know about that field because i've been in there because
i wore pajamas to work that was the professionalism over there
yeah and so um by the way yes shorts
yeah the shorts i've never cared about the shorts have never bothered me
it was it was when you would literally like roll out of bed go to work and be
like wearing a shirt that's like stained
and like pj pants that are ripped to hell like to the point where yeah to the
point where it was a little indecent so every single pair of pajamas that i
have has a hole in the crotch so anyway i buy new pajamas so so so these are
things that i've actually had to worry about like am i being the
the the the uh the the anti-deodorantist
you know grandpa who's like you shouldn't smell pens
who knows that's like i'm running into these situations that is a cultural
thing like there's people who are anti anything that's unnatural shaving
deodorant that kind of thing and uh you know maybe i'm crossing a you
know a personal boundary by being like yo you smell
in a manner that is my discomfort level is about here right
now you know yeah i have no i have no idea so there
you go anyways next sponsor they're like no this is irrelevant old people don't
care about bad smell which is
you know what no i'm not gonna get into it because maybe some of the best like groomed people
that i know are older people yeah some of them and i
think it gets to a certain point where it becomes it becomes it's not that they don't care
i think well okay some of them probably don't care like some people okay so
there's two things there's actually a number of factors here i think some
people get old and give zero f's about anything yes and they're just like yolo
also i'm close to the end of it so i'm just not going to stress about
this stuff other people get to the point where they can't really care for
themselves properly anymore and like that makes them unhappy actually or it
would be extremely tedious to do so so
um steve jobs apparently didn't shower i do know that that is a thing like not
showering and letting your body's natural flora like take care of itself
is apparently theoretically a thing um i haven't actually
like smelled someone what do you do about grime
in that case i don't know it's just like what if you get dirty like a file you
know scrape it off i don't know
but that's like that's my thing do i smell like i know how this works
uh not that kind i guess you smell fine you smell neutral there's no there's no like
yeah i didn't actually notice any smell
difference if i can walk into the room and nobody notices i consider that
optimal yeah um okay okay sorry let's jump into our next thing um
savage jerky i'm going for delicious jerky this is yeah it's already i'm
going for the mojo that is so nice you had the moho ready for me i did out of
the box yeah so savage jerky was created with the intent
of making a delicious snack that is also
not bad for you so it's made without nitrates or preservatives
and they've got 15 so i said 15 13 different flavors of jerky
some of our favorites are the moho and the uh the maple the maple bacon i love
the maple bacon um also the traditional
is really really good and then if you're the kind of person who's into the melt
your face off jerky i'm like salivating just looking at
right this happens every week for me then they've got carolina reaper like ghost pepper
jerky and then because they're experts in making your face melt off with peppers
they've also got hot sauces and barbecue sauces and a spice rub
if you're pretty into spice but don't want to face melt i would
recommend moho habanero that's a good one

because i only have one browser extension installed right
now so i don't have like a super loaded up browser yeah yeah so that seems like
that sounds like a pretty good one i have
four i think not a crazy amount all right got a
couple more topics here there's a leaked Intel sorry Floatplane at some point yes
there's a leaked Intel road map um it's on wccf tech so you take it with a
grain of salt this was posted on the forum by numlock21
and apparently um Intel cascade lake x is confirmed for
hedt it'll be arriving on x 299 slash
lga 2066 in late 2018 so none of this is
surprising at all uh because that's what Intel does every
generation they launch a new chipset with cpus then they do a CPU refresh
then you get a new chipset then you get let's see okay
um also this is ground breaking news coffee
lake x s s not x will apparently get dual core processors and there will be
more processor updates in 2018 along with z390 and b360 chipsets
okay blah blah blah blah blah blah no mention
of eight core processors though those have been rumored
and uh gemini lake goes in n-series
processors features 10 watt TDP and four slash two core variants so these are 14
nanometer goldmont cores and those are apparently coming in the 52nd week of
2018 so end of next year okay neat now let's talk about stuff
that's coming a little bit sooner this was a post-posted by aluminium tech on
the forum and the original article here is from qualcomm.com
they've got a new CPU coming
the 845 mobile platform
um yeah your next phone your next phone will
have one of these unless you buy a phone right now
yeah and then or like a cheaper one or an iphone
and it will be a little bit better
um
how much better you say 25 to 35 percent faster than current
snapdragon 835 it can apparently record 480 FPS video
at 720p or 240fps at 1080. that's pretty cool mind you
light most phones absolutely kill their image quality yeah when you're recording
at high frame rates so even though it is
1920 pixels by 1080 pixels
it looks blocky and like trash yeah so
yeah although the 25 to 30 faster thing
is gonna be interesting to check out because uh
yeah this is the first qualcomm soc to have a secure processing unit so this is a new
subsystem to protect data like your fingerprints iris mobile payments sim
and more that's interesting but it's probably
like super cracked already why would it be if it stores everything
locally um yeah but there's
i
american government thing
oh i have the fcc in my head that's obviously not it yeah the um nsa nsa has
nsa tools or whatever and those have leaked repeatedly and considering how
delayed this is compared to apples i wouldn't be surprised if it was like
developed in cohorts with them
i know it's like tin foil hatty but these things keep coming true
so i don't know and those uh nsa tools keep leaking
so like random pirate groups keep getting access to them and then it's
super not secure so i don't know i i wouldn't absolutely trust it but hey
cool uh in other news this was originally
posted on anantech.com AMD has apparently
silently lowered the spec
of their rx 560
yeah um to basically
a previous generation spec
update an AMD statement given to our sister site tom's hardware confirms the
two rx 560 variants and AMD also noted
that aib partners so like sapphire MSI etc would be responsible for
communicating a given rx 560 model's specifications
wow so you can either get 14 compute units
or 16 compute units buying an rx 560.
this is trash and AMD should feel terrible
and they should not do this so with an rx
560 let's go with the 14 compute unit
model you can get 14 cus and
896 sps now comparing to an rx 460 which
has 14 cus and 896 sps one of the big reasons why
people are pissed off is because it's essentially a 460.
like if you want to sell slightly disabled 560 with less RAM why don't you
just sell 460s how complicated is that
yeah wow it's polaris 11.
like honestly it's the last time like
this is not the first time for AMD like i don't know if you know this
but i still remember one of the most
pissed off that i have ever been
about a technology purchase was when i bought a sapphire Radeon 9600
non-pro and this was back like almost 15 years
ago like back when that was a somewhat respectable card but nearing
the end of its life cycle so it was like uh it was like a
value gaming card so i already had my own
gaming rig but i was upgrading my parents computer so that my siblings
could play like sims or whatever
and what happened was sapphire called the
card radio i ended up on the phone for literally hours with both sapphire and
AMD support over this when i found out
that this 9600 and in this case it was
not marked in any way on the box that this 9600 was different from a normal
9600 when this 9600 had i forget what the difference was i
think it had um a narrower memory bus or something like
that like it had a like a 64 versus a 128-bit bus or
something along those lines and there were no specs online other
than the specific product page for this sapphire card which was like hard to
find on their site that made it clear
that it was not a normal 9600.
i thought we were past this
i don't really get why tech companies feel the need to re-badge especially in
this manner when they already had a product that they could have just sold
as this now there are some differences the new one compared to the 460 can go
down to a lower TDP so as low as 60 watts versus approximately 75 watts and
it's available with just 2 gigs of RAM instead of just being a 4 gig part
but i feel like it would have been a lot less misleading to just call this a 2gig
460 and just make it available
especially because like in in their update statement to be clear they said
we're working with all uh we're taking immediate steps to remedy this we're
working with all adam board and channel partners to make sure product
descriptions and names clarify the cu
count so that gamers consumers know exactly what they're buying that's not
going to work we apologize for the confusion this may have caused that was
intentional that's bs the reason why it's not going to work is the vast
majority of consumers don't know what a freaking cu is yeah of course not
they're looking at a model number or model names all they had to do and
they've even done stuff like this in the past all they had to do if they were
going to do a cut down one is call it ellie or xl or something along those lines
like there are something there's plenty of precedent that already
exists for how to do this properly
and they just decided not to this is really bad for AMD because AMD was very
much in the for the people yeah they're supposed to be like you know the good
guy underdog like that's their brand image that they project the last like
major controversy that i know of on what this scale should be but this doesn't
seem to be blowing up as much probably because not an insane amount of people are buying 560s and a lot more people
had purchased 970s was the RAM issue on
970s that was the last big time that it was
like this is essentially being lied about
yeah all right
um not good man sneaky deaky stuff not cool what else we got here
um oh yeah sure why not oh steem no longer accepts bitcoin
oh um i actually didn't even know that they accepted bitcoin as payment didn't
you the original poster here was vegetable stew we'll go ahead and pull
up
okay so first of all anyone who is giving me crap about using the word
volatile to describe bitcoin you can go ahead and give uh valve a bunch of crap
for it too because there's all the instances of volatile or volatility in
the first three paragraphs of their statement on why they are no longer i
don't think it's completely invalid to use it's just going to trigger some people yeah so yeah there you go so go
ahead and get triggered by valve too um i actually yeah i had no idea that
they didn't accept it so when they first added bitcoin as a method of payment
transaction fees were as low as 20 cents
now they've crept up as high as 20 dollars per transaction
uh these fees are passed on to the consumer and they result in unreasonably
high costs for games also the value of bitcoin is only
guaranteed for a certain period of time so if the transaction doesn't complete
within that window the amount of bitcoin needed to cover the transaction can
change um well the normal solution is either to
refund the original payment or the user or ask the user to transfer additional funds but
both in both of these cases the user is hit with the transaction fee again not
to mention that this is like a customer service overhead nightmare
for any retailer or retailer they've said they'll reevaluate it at a later
date and i don't blame them at all with all of that said are we planning to
support bitcoin on Floatplane we want to
and what are the obstacles right now you can if you can talk about it so okay
the main obstacles right now to be completely honest is everything else
essentially is a higher priority the site's not up uh payments for
the current payment system on the forum is atrocious um
and we need payments for credit card to work and we need the new implementation
for payments for paypal which will be braintree to work
and i want essentially i want the mvp of the site to be up i want people to be
using the proper domain not going through the forum i want all that other kind of
stuff done and then we'll look into supporting bitcoin but there is going to
be more issues once we start doing that um
how do we deal with fraud okay i literally don't know
like on bitcoin you mean yeah right i have no clue
yeah that's fine got it like what if there's fraudulent transactions there's
no i can't go contact someone's bank contacting the
it's their wallet like i can't do anything like that um i'm not
entirely sure how refunds work i think we would be on the hook for the transaction fee for refunds right where
with most services like you get a refund of the
transaction fee yeah and if if it's a 20 transaction fee that could drive us
under pretty fast if uh yeah like there there is a lot of potential issues we're
going to look into it i haven't looked into any of those issues yeah i don't
know so there might be none yeah maybe i don't know it's just not
very high on the priority tier we just need to know can i do this maybe no can
i try i would really prefer not they're literally working on it right now
is it worth a shot come on let's try it you only live once
what's that okay i want to put a giant disclaimer
here last time a whole bunch of people signed up for Floatplane um on the forum
and paid for their access and then were very upset when they couldn't log into
this site to access it yes um just like last time this is not the site that is
working right now at all to access Floatplane it's the
front page of the forum and then if you are subscribed it is at the top of the
forum there is a Floatplane section yeah i'm not logged in yet right now but
uh that that's normally how you access it yeah but um you know i mean
hey come on you only live you only live once right baby
uh oh that's weird um i i don't i didn't
uh did uh who oh
uh when did that happen can you use your thing no why i don't know can i um that
thing's being used by swedish bros for development oh um okay so now what uh i
can make you one dang it danny why are you what is this
what are you doing well i i i
usually do that and then just cover it with the camera right uh no i usually
use the other one oh yeah
ah okay well uh do it do a news topic
okay or we can switch and i can set up a different account that you can use no
it's fine just uh just do a news topic in the meantime i got this all right all right all right give me a sec
so it's not in the dock but you might even be able to talk about this while
you're covering that um and nick has a link for me apparently apple is
acquiring the music recognition app shazam
interesting um i actually did already read about this uh apparently it's some
amount less than a billion dollars so
that's good if you're apple i guess because i don't know if i would pay a billion dollars for shazam shazam
but um i mean i don't know if this is reactionary or if this is something that
they already had planned but this definitely helps apple address google's
implementation on the pixel on the pixel 2 rather anyway where the device is
always listening to music around you as creepy as that is um and we'll just
display passively on the screen of your phone
what um what song is playing so
other than helping siri better recognize songs
i don't really know what the benefit of this is for apple but it goes to show
you that they are they are sure willing to spend a lot of
money to have it be slightly easier to find out what song and also
i guess you could have just used shazam but not do that for a billion dollars
less than a billion dollars yeah um
so yeah what oh okay why are you why are you trying
to show that well i wanted i wanted to i wanted to try it well i was going to
link it to the other one and then i was going to like go through
and i was going to use oh but yeah there's nothing to use right now
oh that like the videos aren't there yet no
oh okay i thought they were no okay so
we're making that part just work for live streaming oh for now oh right live
streaming is going to be a thing soon yeah all right so right now on Floatplane uh
we've got the porsche design just make sure that you're covering up
we've got the porsche design book one see look i'm driving a laptop
oh i actually didn't put that together right away oh
oh my goodness we've got our review of the arrow 15x this is a thin and light
with a gtx 1070 wow it's pretty impressive
and they managed to do it with the touchpad in not a stupid location does
it can we can we get a little spoiler does it throttle um it's really good
okay yeah it's like really impressive um
we finally yeah pretty much every laptop throttles
under combined load though yeah yeah so we finally released our video on vega
frontier edition the teaser for this is amazing yeah this is
this was a freaking saga
uh brandon's smartphone camera showdown which we promised in the next week or
two after whatever video i was recording when i was like yo brandon why don't you
do your smartphone camera showdown is finally up on Floatplane so he compares
the iphone 8 plus with the note8 with the v30 with the pixel 2 xl so we don't
have the iphone 10 in there but my understanding is a is that it is a
pretty similar camera to the iphone 8
plus so i'm not too worried about it um
we've got the ev the crowd-sourced surface competitor
and then uh i don't think this handy tech has made
it onto youtube yet either handy tech old is new
again so we've actually got a lot of stuff on there including a couple tech quickies uh does overclocking voyager
warranty for example so if you cannot wait to find out then you can sign up
for Floatplane where you'll get one weak ish of early access
one weak ish it's ish don't worry about it yeah
all right honestly i don't know what else we got
oh nintendo games are coming to the NVIDIA shield in china yes no way super
