computational drug design and other types of molecular dynamics it's this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":181.68,"end_s":188.56,"text":"really cool thing and boink can do stuff similar to that or sort of not and this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":187.519,"end_s":194.0,"text":"kind of research takes a lot of computing power so that's why it's distributed so you can help out and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":191.92,"end_s":197.84,"text":"actually chip away at cancer research or alzheimer's research just by using

it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.12,"end_s":312.8,"text":"terrible terrible yeah anyways he doesn't get to talk about it we do so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":311.28,"end_s":317.68,"text":"continue let's say you are ASUS and you're you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":315.759,"end_s":323.199,"text":"sign up for the NVIDIA gpp","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":319.919,"end_s":325.199,"text":"if if you wanted to sell","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":323.199,"end_s":328.88,"text":"an NVIDIA graphics card um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":326.96,"end_s":332.24,"text":"with your special like rog branding because you're ASUS yeah you couldn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":330.8,"end_s":338.0,"text":"sell any other graphics cards with that branding i don't think that the it stipulates","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":335.52,"end_s":341.68,"text":"that like hey your existing branding rog you've got to use that for NVIDIA i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.68,"end_s":345.759,"text":"think it's up to ASUS to decide what branding they use in theory they could","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":343.84,"end_s":349.44,"text":"have been like you know what NVIDIA we're going to use our awesome rog","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.44,"end_s":353.12,"text":"branding on the Radeon cards and we're going to make new branding for you that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":351.12,"end_s":356.72,"text":"would so from a company's perspective though that would generally be bad uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":355.36,"end_s":360.16,"text":"because the majority of the market is NVIDIA purchasers exactly you want to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":358.88,"end_s":364.0,"text":"use your stronger brand for that because you'll make more money exactly so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.16,"end_s":367.36,"text":"they're totally cutting out and this mindshare really matters right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":365.68,"end_s":371.039,"text":"because what they're forcing and what did actually occur when this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":368.96,"end_s":375.199,"text":"program rolled out is that you've got to make new product lines new you've got to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.6,"end_s":379.36,"text":"fork your brand basically so they made ares uh they this comes at a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":377.36,"end_s":383.44,"text":"considerable expense by the way oh yeah they've got a branding marketing they've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":381.199,"end_s":386.96,"text":"got to design it they've got to iterate on that then they've got to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":384.72,"end_s":390.96,"text":"actually print boxes get these boxes on the shelves and presumably at this point","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":389.52,"end_s":396.4,"text":"these companies have already done all of that so now the partner program is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":393.759,"end_s":399.199,"text":"cancelled everybody's wondering if aries is going to continue to be a thing or if","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":397.68,"end_s":404.72,"text":"they're just going to switch back because on the one hand they have the sunk cost on the other hand","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":402.4,"end_s":408.639,"text":"that brand means nothing to anybody yet yeah so it's better to lean on your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.08,"end_s":413.039,"text":"existing brand what we don't know is if NVIDIA has remunerated these companies","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":411.12,"end_s":416.479,"text":"like let's say you sunk billion or millions on rebranding or at least","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":415.12,"end_s":420.24,"text":"hundreds of thousands is NVIDIA like did the lawyers set up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":418.8,"end_s":423.84,"text":"anything for this particular case where NVIDIA is gonna be like okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.24,"end_s":429.68,"text":"so you guys probably didn't hear that what happened","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.68,"end_s":437.08,"text":"was it the teleprompter class i would go help him","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":437.84,"end_s":445.28,"text":"are you all right dennis is dead everyone so a glass fell","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":442.96,"end_s":448.72,"text":"and shattered into a lot of pieces as we were able to hear from here i guess yeah","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":447.36,"end_s":453.599,"text":"you guys definitely can hear that we just heard shattering and then dennis going no oh yeah it was very audible","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":452.639,"end_s":458.88,"text":"yeah anyways sorry we're going to continue here but yeah it's it's unclear this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":457.039,"end_s":462.56,"text":"time whether brands are going to survive uh not not as in like whether ASUS will","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":460.88,"end_s":466.56,"text":"survive but it's unclear whether or not aries will survive whether or not NVIDIA","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":464.4,"end_s":471.039,"text":"will be compensating these brands for the work that they did related to gpp um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":469.759,"end_s":476.08,"text":"i i in the like who knows how accurate it was","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.4,"end_s":481.919,"text":"leaks that we got i didn't see any provisions for that because i don't think NVIDIA was expecting to have to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":479.28,"end_s":484.8,"text":"pull back out um but i guess we didn't see the other side of the agreement","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":483.039,"end_s":488.24,"text":"either well it would have been what those particular companies lawyers","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.72,"end_s":493.039,"text":"came up with exactly so we didn't see the other side it wouldn't be in the original tof","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":491.12,"end_s":497.039,"text":"another interesting thing was how they framed the their cancellation so we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":495.759,"end_s":502.479,"text":"learned about it through a blog post that NVIDIA yeah and they did not they didn't like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":500.56,"end_s":506.08,"text":"facebook it they didn't go on an apology tour they didn't own what they did oh no","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":504.479,"end_s":509.36,"text":"instead they're like they framed it thusly you know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":510.4,"end_s":518.24,"text":"there's all these rumors and conjecture and myths mistruths around about the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":514.88,"end_s":519.36,"text":"NVIDIA gpp so rather than spending our","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":518.24,"end_s":524.959,"text":"energy battling any of this battling misinformation","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":522.959,"end_s":529.04,"text":"we're just gonna cancel the program so we can focus on what's important like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":527.12,"end_s":532.64,"text":"building the new technology like as if the gpp and all the backlash was like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":531.04,"end_s":536.16,"text":"draining their resources if all the technical people were quick","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":534.8,"end_s":540.88,"text":"working on marketing yeah like the engineers were like i can't focus because everyone hates us this is a pr","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":539.519,"end_s":545.36,"text":"nightmare this is so brutal","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":542.959,"end_s":549.44,"text":"oh they didn't yeah it's that that part is so brutal because a lot of the reason","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":547.76,"end_s":552.72,"text":"why this has all come to light was because of people i don't remember his","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":550.959,"end_s":555.76,"text":"name right now but from the the guy from heart ocp","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":554.32,"end_s":559.839,"text":"that that like pushed all this kind of stuff and the rest of the media not just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":557.36,"end_s":563.12,"text":"us at all we we probably had a relatively small involvement because i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":561.68,"end_s":568.64,"text":"think we just talked about it during when there's other creators that have made dedicated videos and all this kind","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":565.839,"end_s":573.519,"text":"of stuff when when oh the na show oh yeah sorry about that yeah a lot of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":570.88,"end_s":577.64,"text":"confusion around the name uh but there's been a lot of

so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":590.64,"end_s":597.36,"text":"it's just all this stuff was brought to light","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":594.56,"end_s":600.399,"text":"there was basically nothing from NVIDIA explaining what was going on they","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":599.12,"end_s":606.24,"text":"they're complaining of getting all the rumors conjecture mistruths","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":603.44,"end_s":609.76,"text":"go far beyond its intent well maybe better explain its intent i know there","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":608.0,"end_s":614.0,"text":"was one post talking about it but it was so whimsical and didn't properly go","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":612.32,"end_s":617.36,"text":"through what's actually happening yes total bs they keep focusing on the fact","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":615.76,"end_s":621.6,"text":"that this is all about transparency for the consumer so the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":619.36,"end_s":624.64,"text":"consumer knows what they're buying they know that they're getting an NVIDIA card","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":623.44,"end_s":629.2,"text":"and that's the best thing you can get and they want to make sure and it's very obvious and transparent on the packaging","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":627.6,"end_s":633.76,"text":"that that's what they're getting if that's what it's about then why even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":631.36,"end_s":636.959,"text":"rely on these other brands like rog why don't you just stipulate that they have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":635.04,"end_s":641.04,"text":"a big fat green banner that says NVIDIA on it if it's really just about","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":639.2,"end_s":645.839,"text":"obviously branding they kind of do like i've never i've heard a lot

hey and uh welcome to the show this is the lan show the lan show that is or the the gnaw the na show nah nah what news and analysis weekly news analysis weekly baby it actually totally works nah it kind of does that's a w that wins yeah yeah all right went show welcome to it we're doing some new stuff there's the gpp is no longer a thing news which i'm sure every single person in the tech community is going to be talking about a lot boom because there's not a ton else going on so you know we'll we'll take whatever we can feels like a win too but who actually knows we're going to get into that also t-mobile and sprint are trying to trying to become one again hug each other a little bit more than they did in the past you know they tried it before yeah they're trying again yeah also dram price fixing we've all kind of known it's been kind of ridiculous for a while it's weird how expensive this stuff is so when you're pricing out a computer and then you're like whoa that was unexpected anyways i'm looking at the analytics lately it's bad it's bad yeah that plus facebook stuff yeah all that more on the nashow oh on the notch i'm chomping at the bit here who thought of that clinch thing i don't know ed technically that's hilarious originally we were gonna have a new one of these like every week and then i think we made one and then never again yeah obviously that's that plan which one's you there fresh books the one in the blue sweater because i used to always wear that same sweater the shorter one i appreciate your stuff yeah squarespace thank you very much uh my hair changes depending on the season what season are you a redhead weird oh my only in vegas baby ginger luke oh that would be great didn't it be it uh we're going to start off the show with a folding and buoyant community shout out we have one of those things yeah i didn't even know what it was oh i had no idea like i heard i've heard of distributed oh i thought you just didn't know what our team was i had no idea what the folding thing was i got a message from one of the members of the our folding team who was like can you give us a shout out and i was like what are you what is folding slash boink what and then i was checking it out i was like oh this is amazing i want to do this i think i might set it up yeah so we have a community on the forum dedicated to folding and blink folding and but boink is more like boint can be a lot of things i know what that is it's friday baby uh bowling at home is a distributed computing project for disease research that simulates protein folding which is why it's called folding at home because you're folding proteins digitally at home and computational drug design and other types of molecular dynamics it's this really cool thing and boink can do stuff similar to that or sort of not and this kind of research takes a lot of computing power so that's why it's distributed so you can help out and actually chip away at cancer research or alzheimer's research just by using your spare compute cycles on your piece of crap pc that's in your storage room like i plan to do or you know those mining machines you don't say you could you could repurpose those to helping cancer if you uh wanted to or you could not you know whatever whatever folds your boat are there foldable boats sensible chuckles uh well if you deflate a boat and then you fold it into the shape of a protein anyways moving on to wait a second these guys all right these people on the folding team yes you can do this at any point right like you can turn on you can yeah but they also do these like like bursts yeah do these weeks where they all try really hard to con to devote as much of their computing power as they can to do it and sometimes it'll be like a competition kind of set up where there's like leaderboards for how different teams are doing yeah yeah so they'll be like oh like who can make the most this week or whatever and we're like in the top 20. we do we do pretty good and i've contributed nothing to this let's get it let's get it speaking of uh getting something no longer are you going to get NVIDIA gpp oh i thought you were gonna say like get screwed by gpp oh you might you might still get screwed by gpp okay so just to catch up the people who don't know what the NVIDIA GeForce partner program was it was basically like if you're a partner of NVIDIA like you're eight oh no this guy what are your thoughts quick before you go we won victory is ours you're behind the mic congratulations are in order we did we did win but again back to what it actually is in case you didn't know yeah oh the entire press got together and made this thing not a thing yeah have you read their their oh it's terrible terrible yeah anyways he doesn't get to talk about it we do so continue let's say you are ASUS and you're you sign up for the NVIDIA gpp if if you wanted to sell an NVIDIA graphics card um with your special like rog branding because you're ASUS yeah you couldn't sell any other graphics cards with that branding i don't think that the it stipulates that like hey your existing branding rog you've got to use that for NVIDIA i think it's up to ASUS to decide what branding they use in theory they could have been like you know what NVIDIA we're going to use our awesome rog branding on the Radeon cards and we're going to make new branding for you that would so from a company's perspective though that would generally be bad uh because the majority of the market is NVIDIA purchasers exactly you want to use your stronger brand for that because you'll make more money exactly so they're totally cutting out and this mindshare really matters right because what they're forcing and what did actually occur when this program rolled out is that you've got to make new product lines new you've got to fork your brand basically so they made ares uh they this comes at a considerable expense by the way oh yeah they've got a branding marketing they've got to design it they've got to iterate on that then they've got to actually print boxes get these boxes on the shelves and presumably at this point these companies have already done all of that so now the partner program is cancelled everybody's wondering if aries is going to continue to be a thing or if they're just going to switch back because on the one hand they have the sunk cost on the other hand that brand means nothing to anybody yet yeah so it's better to lean on your existing brand what we don't know is if NVIDIA has remunerated these companies like let's say you sunk billion or millions on rebranding or at least hundreds of thousands is NVIDIA like did the lawyers set up anything for this particular case where NVIDIA is gonna be like okay so you guys probably didn't hear that what happened was it the teleprompter class i would go help him are you all right dennis is dead everyone so a glass fell and shattered into a lot of pieces as we were able to hear from here i guess yeah you guys definitely can hear that we just heard shattering and then dennis going no oh yeah it was very audible yeah anyways sorry we're going to continue here but yeah it's it's unclear this time whether brands are going to survive uh not not as in like whether ASUS will survive but it's unclear whether or not aries will survive whether or not NVIDIA will be compensating these brands for the work that they did related to gpp um i i in the like who knows how accurate it was leaks that we got i didn't see any provisions for that because i don't think NVIDIA was expecting to have to pull back out um but i guess we didn't see the other side of the agreement either well it would have been what those particular companies lawyers came up with exactly so we didn't see the other side it wouldn't be in the original tof another interesting thing was how they framed the their cancellation so we learned about it through a blog post that NVIDIA yeah and they did not they didn't like facebook it they didn't go on an apology tour they didn't own what they did oh no instead they're like they framed it thusly you know there's all these rumors and conjecture and myths mistruths around about the NVIDIA gpp so rather than spending our energy battling any of this battling misinformation we're just gonna cancel the program so we can focus on what's important like building the new technology like as if the gpp and all the backlash was like draining their resources if all the technical people were quick working on marketing yeah like the engineers were like i can't focus because everyone hates us this is a pr nightmare this is so brutal oh they didn't yeah it's that that part is so brutal because a lot of the reason why this has all come to light was because of people i don't remember his name right now but from the the guy from heart ocp that that like pushed all this kind of stuff and the rest of the media not just us at all we we probably had a relatively small involvement because i think we just talked about it during when there's other creators that have made dedicated videos and all this kind of stuff when when oh the na show oh yeah sorry about that yeah a lot of confusion around the name uh but there's been a lot of rebrands each week we have half an hour for when half an hour from now sorry um yeah so it's just all this stuff was brought to light there was basically nothing from NVIDIA explaining what was going on they they're complaining of getting all the rumors conjecture mistruths go far beyond its intent well maybe better explain its intent i know there was one post talking about it but it was so whimsical and didn't properly go through what's actually happening yes total bs they keep focusing on the fact that this is all about transparency for the consumer so the consumer knows what they're buying they know that they're getting an NVIDIA card and that's the best thing you can get and they want to make sure and it's very obvious and transparent on the packaging that that's what they're getting if that's what it's about then why even rely on these other brands like rog why don't you just stipulate that they have a big fat green banner that says NVIDIA on it if it's really just about obviously branding they kind of do like i've never i've heard a lot of complaints from new system builders i've helped a lot of people get into building their computers and one of my big things when i would help friends or family or whoever build a computer was always that i'll be there as like the guiding hand but i want them to do it yeah i want them to pick the parts i would want them to build the computer but i could help them with anything and answer whatever questions et cetera eating snacks yeah getting free pop because they would supply supplies for the uh is there gonna be chips and pop that i'm in my hands will be too crummy to help you there's one buddy of mine that i've built two computers for and every time we do he brings a case of vanilla coke i like this deal it's worked out quite well um but it's i've never had a single person be like i don't understand i'm buying rog why is it a AMD thing or whatever like i've never had that confusion everyone seems to get it so all this hubbub over that seems unlikely it feels like they just wanted to muscle them out of the good brands yeah exactly they know that their market position is such that they're going to be the ones awarded the rog the incumbent existing branding and that AMD is going to be the ones suffering under the new branding so nice try NVIDIA yeah some evan 33 uh is is spamming contrast in the chat so much that i'm super surprised that he's not banned from the chat by the bot yet um i don't know if he's talking about contrast in terms of like what this picture look looks like or if he's talking about between the boxes but in my experience it's pretty it's this probably isn't even what he's talking about but in my experience it's pretty easy to differentiate between which one is an NVIDIA card which one is an AMD card no he's definitely talking about the visuals of this yeah this video feed but we don't care yeah man we're gonna make it about graphics cards it's intentional dude this is the new style yeah low or high contrast or whatever the opposite of whatever you're complaining about that's what you want we don't understand it but whatever uh so yeah i'm not like and i know that a lot of people at NVIDIA and i'm sure they're paying attention to a lot of the press stuff around this so they might see this section of the show at some point in time guys you got to figure out your public communication you make great graphics cards you have the market share the giant market share i know you're very happy about that but people are kind of pissed off and i know it's very easy for the community i know you guys know this it's very easy for the community to go after the company that has the lions market share the lion's share of the market it's it's very easy for that to happen that's definitely a non-insignificant amount of what's going on but especially around gpp the communication was bad you have to understand that communication was bad and this didn't help with everyone needing to dive in and dig and glean and fight for every little tiny bit of information that they could and for you to come back at it by saying oh yeah there's so many rumors conjecture mistruths are going around everywhere clarify better that's on you man and i know like it got leaked or whatever and that sucks as a company i completely understand that that's super frustrating but at that point in time throwing at other people for that is not gonna help you to try to win everyone else onto your side you need to be open to the community and try to explain what was going on in a not so whimsical and were just fairies on the breeze kind of way because that's obviously not what's going on give me your opinion on this part a lot of people think that them canceling the program doesn't really amount to much because the damage is already done there's some there's sunk costs there's these new brands like back alley or what do you call them back alley deals back-end deals back-end back-end deals could continue to exist right now just not publicly even name it something else whatever yeah um because a lot of these big players they sign these agreements so they might just carry forward with them yeah we'll have to we'll have to see how it goes um we'll we'll have to pay close attention to aries i guess specifically see what ASUS does with that maybe see how ASUS communicates around it i just yeah this line of communication was very in my opinion sassy seriously though it was it was sassy and it was just it was not what are you talking about their blog post the cancellation blog post a little sassy yeah and it's it's like yes the community wanted gbp to be pulled but i think even more than that at the core i think people wanted to know what the heck was going on um and i don't think anyone got that because now it's just gone and we still don't even really know what it like actually was what the actual rules were we're being told that everything that we knew was rumors conjecture mistruths so we didn't know anything then so what's the truth we still don't know they're saying like oh it was just to like make things more clear okay but we need more like we have a someone showing us like basically a contract in very clear terms and then you're being like everyone's just supposed to be happy okay and it doesn't work by the way thank you ivan that in no way makes it more clear for everybody that makes it way way way harder to buy a graphics card if i rock up and there's like okay there's gaming there's rs there's rog there's all that times two for each different one that's way harder that's way harder to figure out the tier of the graphics card i guess because none of those words are like really mean anything no yeah it'd be way better if they if i think it'd be better a better business case for them just to say hey a giant banner that says NVIDIA gtx 1070. well okay like that's what that's people want right let's uh i'm gonna get to the page first but let's go to amazon.com no let's go to newegg i switched because of like purchase history and related items and stuff okay did you get a veiny vic don't worry about it boy uh let's go to luke's screen what is that now spoiled okay NVIDIA search i guess you don't even see boxes well i mean the name already has and like everything has g-force in it GeForce gtx the branding is there so that's like the text equivalent of the like put the banner because that's right at the beginning of all of them well that's another point as as to why this gpp didn't even need to exist because it's already it's already in the name so i don't buy this whole transparency angle yeah i don't buy it i wish they would just own it hey we tried to make a lot of money we tried to make more money we got caught it wasn't you could even be like we thought this was a good idea clearly everyone didn't working a bit yeah i would buy companies do that yeah you should have shut down all your stores for an afternoon and had some kind of training for all your employees that's how you signal to the populace man okay anyways i think we've uh beat this topic down and uh left it in a ditch so we can move on to the t-mobile slash sprint merger so you know more about this than i do but they've tried to do this before i know nothing about it um i know i know was it the ftc that blocked it in the past yeah this is all ft ftc stuff so i believe the ftc was like we think there's room for four players so no yes that's correct so that would have been under the obama administration and they thought okay there's the market in the u.s could support four major cellular provider services or companies so they thought more is better so it's more competition so we're not going to let you guys merge that was then things have changed not only is it just a change of administration and they think that the trump administration will be more favorable to this merger a lot of it has to do with 5g actually and the us and the and the administration is very serious about 5g yeah remember that it was trump like i don't know we want to say unilaterally but he he did that little signal we should have one more little signature thingy to say that broadcom and qualcomm shouldn't merge right and there's like rationale for that is like qualcomm is instrumental in advancing 5g and there's a big global race to be the country that pioneers 5g the most right now and china and south korea are winning and the us wants to win because you get lots of benefits from pioneering the technology and the standards lots of job creation ip it was really good for the us to have developed 4g and they want to keep that going and there i think that with this the new merged company will have a greater ability to pioneer 5g it's it's i think there's an opportunity for t-mobile and sprint to make a really cool name when they merge mobile sprint that's a little motion here but they're just going to be called t-mobile still missed options oh okay missed opportunity so they're merging but essentially t-mobile is taking over sprint is that kind of the deal and if they're just being called t-mobile i don't think the name like i don't necessarily think just because the name is still t-mobile that indicates that they're the big winners but i don't know maybe i think public eye might come across that way even if it's not actually that way because everyone's calling it t-mobile now well i don't know enough about it i can't well it's they're not they've just said that they're committed to merging they plan to merge but it's not up to them they still have to the courts still need to approve this yeah and that's going to take a couple months i think um even though i'm not from the states i generally like t-mobile i've liked how they've done a lot of their campaigns i like the kind of moves that they've done in the market over the last while so sounds cool here's a theoretical question every good capitalist likes competition right yeah my question is does more players mean more competition not necessarily because right now you've got four t-mobile and sprint are numbers three and four yeah they're way smaller at t and verizon should they merge they'll be about the same size so do you do you think they actually have more of an ability is there more competition when there's three equally sized players then i kind of think probably maybe because i think where the market probably needs more competition is with the big guys so i would rather there be a fight between three big giants and please no less than three because we have enough of that problem in our in our own space with AMD and Intel um and AMD and uh NVIDIA but so please no less than three but i like the idea of taking three and four and making them an actual product like a real yeah exactly against the other two big guys that seems like a good idea to me and even if you can make a fourth as long as all four are the same kind of size when you have four and you have two kind of smaller ones and two kind of bigger ones there is good competition there because there is competition for the smaller markets and competition for the bigger markets but i don't feel like t-mobile and sprint are going to abandon their places sure so i think it'll be okay they'll have more funds to move up market though yeah speaking of collusion because three-player oligopolies suck dram price fixing yeah good call so the law firm hegen's berman has filed a class-action lawsuit against samsung micron and hynix i love how every law firm is so obviously a law firm just by the name i wish that was one person's full name that'd be awesome two there's a lot of people with two first names but not enough with two last names so according to the firm's investigation the three dram manufacturers conspired to limit the supply of dram chips between 2016 and 2017 with the purpose of course of inflating their prices and we've all seen that happen dram saw a 47 price increase during 2017 the largest jump ever in the last 30 years and probably ever because before 30 years ago they probably had a b and c RAM but like oh yeah that's ancient stuff so the complaint has been put forward on behalf of anyone who in the u.s purchased something containing dram from one of these three companies from july 1st 2016 through february 1st 2018. the suit claims that after a global decline in the price of RAM chips the three companies began in june of 2016 to deliberately limit their output of dram storage chips but did they have to if they're okay if they're colluding and they want the prices to go up and set it down did they have to do it so hard i mean like it's kind of like they kind of overkill it's pretty pretty suspicious so obvious that's the yeah you think you try to be slightly subtle let's just get them to climb gradually but depending on the details no man i want like 400 new cars well okay it's cranking up a lot they're also gonna try to get away with it and maybe what it takes to get away with it is to be like we literally don't have the capacity to make more so then they have to not build a factory and then they don't have this factory or they have the a lot of has to do with their process nodes and stuff too yeah so because they're not scaling how they should and they're like publicly saying to each other that they're not going to go for scale they're going to go for price per item and whatnot well i hope they get found guilty that'd be interesting that would be pretty world would be more interesting to me that'd be kind of fun if you if you could charge someone guilty for like your jerks at running a company oh yeah like you clearly have the money to build another factory there is clearly the market to build another factory you're not doing it just because you want to be whatever and charge an insane amount of money per chip so you guys suck here's a fine yeah this is kind of where capitalism breaks down where it's like in theory if they're doing that then there should be room for the for a new entrant in the market but the barriers to entry are so damn so insanely high the investment's so large and the talent pool is not big enough that they own it it's an oligopoly uh i wouldn't be surprised if these guys were caught like actually guilty because from 1998 to 2002 heineken samsung and micron were among a group of vendors who would ultimately end up paying a settlement to end complaints that they conspired to rig the price of dram chips so it's not even the first time this happened also yeah thank you twitch chat for pointing out the resolution problem i don't know what was going on there i had it set to default resolution and it must have been on like 64 by 64. not actually but it was pretty freaking bad so i changed it and we seem to be good now that's i put it that way actually because i have a zip um thanks luke yeah get owned now it is there for the world scene no it was the the resolution of this screen ah so it didn't even have anything to they could already see my sets yeah yeah it's okay there for the world to see speaking of for the world to see let's do sponsor spots sponsor sponsors yes get money for the world not to see your private in infra infranet your your private internet uh access information animation i meant to say your private information but i tripped like 18 times trying to get there but anyways pia if you need a vpn uh like my dad did to access his own website at school that was pretty insane um with the the itunes both ways he well okay he's a he's a um instructor and the i.t department at school had no idea why he couldn't access the website so i was like just you know do that thing and it worked what's his website can we all go to it right now uh that'll probably bring it down um but luke's dad.com yeah let's not i'm actually not gonna tell the domain name because i actually i'm going to go to lukesdad.com just to see is there a website that's probably owned but not you might want a vpn behind okay yes someone's going to own that it's parked for free courtesy of godaddy it's gonna take almost no time until that's gone yeah your dad's watching this and he's probably buying it up right now anyways you can connect up to five devices on to your pia account at a time uh they they have apps for for Android and iOS if you need it uh there's apps for Windows macOS literally the notes on here say Linus but i'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Linux but that's that's wonderful um and google chrome so you can have a plug-in specifically for it so you don't have to have the app installed on the computer if you want it's kind of easy to do it that way um it has an internet kill switch that will block all traffic if the if the vpn becomes disconnected unexpectedly that's quite cool not all vpns have that so if your vpn disconnects for whatever reason it then starts flowing everything through yeah yeah not vpn and that's not super great that's such a fail uh check it out today at the link that's like below here if you're on twitch i guess just type that out it's not that complicated or if you are on youtube or soundcloud i guess does anyone listen some people do uh in the description of this thing whether it's a audio thing or a video thing we'll have a link to pia check it out it's awesome it's great it does good things and speaking of things that are awesome great and do good things fresh books if you're if you're trying to run a company and you need to invoice people for whatever reason you can do that super fast super simple no big deal invoices to your customer you can check to see if they have seen that said invoice so you can bug them about it um and green you can collect your money you can also do expenses through the app which is super cool it keeps track of who owes you what it keeps track of uh how much you've spent on different things which is really cool we used it in a scrapbook horse and it's actually quite helpful if you have any questions you can reach out to an actual person there's no escalations there's no return calls they just pick up and and solve your problem there isn't even a phone tree you're just like hey what's up i need help and they're like yeah i got you no problem it's pretty simple i'm sure that's exactly how they do it and next up we have squarespace squarespace is a a website that you use to make other websites it's it's like website section it's wonderful uh it has a replicator it's 12 bucks a month if you subscribe for a year you get a domain with it because that kind of makes sense so you can go to one place get a domain and a website you can build your website really easily even if you have no idea what building website even means you can do it no problem on squarespace because they give you this like beautiful template you just put in like words and pictures and it's like oh if you think building's hard you're not gonna sweat there's no manual labor yeah no i mean it's manual in the sense that you need to use your hands you need to type and click that might be semi-problematic you could use a voice to connect yeah and you might not be able to do a clicking thing some other way yeah for if you're like partially disabled in some way you can scroll with your tongue i'm not sure how it works there was a kid in my school and he showed me how his worked and it was actually really cool uh but that was a long time ago and i'm sure it's advanced since then so yeah anyways you can use offer code alt uh go to squarespace.com forward slash LTT and use offer code LTT to get 10 off your first purchase so you have a website and domain and all that fun stuff what if someone followed your advice right then went to squarespace and the free domain they got was loosedad.com and then they made all of this tonight do it you could that's kind of the cool thing it's so fast you could actually have it done for tonight oh easily it's pretty neato um and then i don't have a lower banner for this but also uh check out uh ltx 2018 at ltxbow.com and i realize that the x in ltx stands for expo and then we also say expo um so just don't worry about that too much ltx expo.com check it out no it means exploration like spacex oh Linus tech exploration explore us come and explore us it's gonna be lit this year i got some things up my sleeve oh my i'm just gonna be there i guess it's gonna be bonanza not not too crazy um also check out Floatplane that's like what i do and stuff it's it's pretty cool i like it it's it's like neato and slow plane i'm gonna get us logged in so we can see what's going on hold on there we go we have like creators oh wrong one we have creators on the platform and stuff so you can check out uh linustechtips who's apparently uploaded a whole bunch of videos including keyboard history good job by the way who did that one who did that one i didn't call my video that what is that well that okay history of the computer keyboard is that a Techquickie who works here that might be a tech wiki maybe we'll see uh not now though there's also other stuff from lions tech tips there's stuff from bitwit ultra if you subscribe to him there's stuff from tech deals if you subscribe to them it's cool it's a platform that has different people that you can subscribe to see their videos that's a try it's a tech cookie ah nice we have we have a confirmation dennis um and you can watch their videos in glorious uh really high bit rate and really nice sound quality and a private nice little comment section so you don't have to deal with the drivel that's on youtube yeah and it has a thumbs down button it does so you can be like in the comments you're dumb other humans get used to it's the real world virtually don't say this out loud but look at that i'm gonna buy that i love that i'm gonna make it into something cool you know you know one of my favorite domains that we have that we have to do something with but we don't know what yet it's we've adequatevideoservice.com thinking about using it for like our back end or something but yeah it's just so funny it's funny little joke don't worry about it too much you could use that for april fools maybe that'll be funny like redirecting the whole thing warranty void stickers we have an update that's exciting i've been excited by this for a little while i'm gonna last i think i was on here last time we talked about it like two or three weeks ago that we talked about it together and at the time one quick thing someone asked is there a Floatplane free trial there will be there isn't yet um we're currently in like still like an alpha e kind of stage so once we properly release there will be the day there's a free trial is the day i use it for the first time that's not true i'm just yes i was on there today i was like you have to i have no choice rip uh so okay per u.s law no warranty or product sold for over five bucks can put any restrictions on repairs who does the repairing you can't have a sticker on your product that says if you break this sticker or your voice your your voice ward that happened last time one of us said you're going to use ward last time anyway it's still true today your voice will be ward if you use a third party repair service at least that's what they say but that's actually illegal in the u.s and what we learned last time when the news broke is that is it the ftc they issued yes it is they issued letters to six big companies we didn't know who the companies were but they they were like look guys younos has been illegal since the 70s we're about to crack the whip crack down on it yeah and guess what now we know who those companies were hit me with them luke sony microsoft nintendo wow what competition it's like all the console people it's interesting um also i don't understand the five dollar thing why are you allowed to put restrictions on repairs for things under five dollars that's so weird i think it's um it's probably a bundle like this one sentence that we're our claws that we're focused on in the context of this article is a part of a larger bundle and to attribute that whole bundle to items that are cheaper than five bucks would just be too much work and it would probably like inhibit people from starting cheapy little businesses okay sure that's my speculation why not it's just such a weird like what's even under five dollars that you would take to a repair shop fidget spinner grease that puppy up it just doesn't spin anymore a quarter turns all i get i just need some wd-40 but i don't want to spray it on myself don't worry about it uh yeah hanging on a little hook so anyway it got very specific that's about it for that story honestly the companies have 30 days to revise there's been uh online you can see a kind of a more generic version of the letter um but each company did receive a customized tailored letter specifically outlining the prop the offending product so in the case of microsoft it was the xbox consoles that had these um these stickers on them and they're not just it's not just about repairs it also says something about third-party um like accessories as well oh interesting yes it's it's microsoft's actually in a pretty good spot for that because while their surface notebooks have like notoriously been terrifying to try to work on because like the terra cotta and like all this other kind of stuff uh the xbox one x you're talking about you're talking when you said terra cotta you're talking about that like uh yeah well sorry is it called something is like uh like that's play that's on like yeah okay so what is that called i don't know i think it's terra or something it has a weird name what is it alcantara there we go alcantara yeah yeah thank you now that people are in their cars we can stop so you ever been listening to a podcast while you're driving you're just like yeah yeah yeah so is that is that is that what the like the soldiers are made out of the like huge amount of uh terracotta army yeah ah yeah yes so that's where i played too much civ apparently um anyways where am i going with this the xbox one x is actually kind of wonderfully easy to uh take apart and put back together terracotta yeah there it is it's a type of earthenware hmm who knows where all right that's where the show is going so yeah this this is good i'm very happy about this we'll have to see what actually comes of it hopefully it means that my switch is still good to go even though i have turned it into a purple thing instead of a black thing so that's cool um moving on is this your thing what thing this topic no oh oh so sort of actually microsoft was an expert witness no i don't read that part what it was like click on the click on the forum link that came to us from gemini jay oh one this possibly three oh man this is ah this is long uh and i can't share it on my screen because i'm logged into the thing well let's just skip it are you a fan of this guy are you fans not particularly do you want to talk about that we can i'd i'm not i've read it but i don't know i don't really know the guy okay how about this you know what we're gonna go let's cruise right into facebook sure there's two facebook-ish things today uh number one at f8 which is their developer conference which is happening right around now they announced that they plan to create a clear history tool so this feature will enable you to see the websites and apps that send facebook information when you use them it'll enable you to delete this information from your account and turn off facebook's ability to store that information associated with your account going forward they will still provide apps and websites with aggregated analytics that's anonymous anonymized and this tool won't be launching for a few months they gotta build it and test it and apparently they're they're sitting down having town hall meetings with security experts around the us and all that kind of stuff do you think this would be a cool tool that you would use do you even use facebook uh i have one the only things i use i don't want to say once i have once i've fully deleted my account like four times oh you want to um i also didn't create you make a facebook status before installation be like hey guys i'm getting off facebook no i just disappeared into the ether without telling anybody every single time uh i didn't even create my original facebook account uh one of my friends apparently i guess thank you jesse by the way a real name um uh created a facebook account under my name and then gave me the login and was like start using this and i was like okay hook everything up to it yeah your data is gone goodbye uh yeah so i've never been a huge fan of it uh now i use it for the messenger portion because basically everyone's on there so if you need to contact someone it's usually what an Android thing would be work to do yeah yeah basically yeah i do the same um and then i use groups a little bit i've got two groups on there that i'm fairly active in one of them one for sharing music and one for talking about nerdy things with my high school friends you care about music yeah yeah talk about this later okay yeah sounds good i can just invite you to the group oh we're all plebs he's above us so you can't yeah you can't you can't join the music sharing group uh so yeah i don't know that's cool there's been other stuff that's come out of uh f8 f8 makes way more sense um wow that's fantastic uh but apparently they're gonna do a dating app i don't know if i don't think we talked about that last week oh i haven't heard that facebook dating app yeah let me let me just google this live on the show dating app interesting first met no facebook dating looks a lot like hinge facebook is taking on tinder with new dating features i wonder if they all cut off tinder from their login with facebook no they couldn't kind of doubt it they couldn't yeah facebook is an integral part of tinder yeah so yeah new dating app amid all of the crazy privacy stuff they are directly planning on making a dating app and it's interesting because they're they've straight up called out that it will not be designed around hookups at all uh that's not for you to decide yeah i know but they're they're pushing it to not be that way it will not ever connect you with a friend uh facebook friend yes okay so part of the idea is that it pushes you to new people that's cool and it will like keep even the idea that you're on it away from your friends oh interesting so it's supposed to be private away from your friends that you're on this thing give us your data and we'll give you a date yeah yeah and a big part of it is this section they're talking about conversation starters so they'll they'll try to have like events that are happening around you and they'll try to use groups and things that you're both interested in to try to come up with something for you guys to do uh that is hopefully interesting yeah that's cool uh one problem with uh the way particularly tinder works is like you know the first stage of tinder is like hey you think i'm hot i think you're hot so we got that so like boom that mystery solved but then now you're just in an empty chat and like what do we talk about yeah where did you start so that actually might this actually might help with that a lot i've been on the dating scene in a long time but i just having something that's like hey we're both interested in this thing but without having to go through the monotony of like reading through a basically resume yeah giant profile yeah we need something in the middle here yeah that's that's a that's an interesting idea it's just kind of funny that they're bringing this up at the time while they're having all these privacy issues but at the same time despite all the privacy issues basically no one's leaving facebook so it's probably fine related to that uh because of the privacy things facebook is revisiting the possibility of having a subscription model not it would be an option it's an option okay okay just want to say this loud and clear facebook's not going to be like hey you want to keep your facebook account five bucks a month 50 bucks a month oh ad free okay it would be an ad free subscription model and i i think it means you're going to be giving up a lot less data too so they looked into this in the past and then internally basically everyone's like i don't think that's going to work so they didn't bother doing it but now they think the client has changed enough that enough people who are who are considering leaving facebook because of data and ads might say well it's worth it to me just to stay if they get rid of ads and they don't scrape i could be interested in this see i don't know i might even use facebook more really this is really interesting to me because one of the the questions here is like would would the spur more people to join uh hell no in my opinion no not a chance i don't think all it would do is retain existing customers yeah i don't think there was going to be anyone who's like whoa whit it's subscription model now i'm in i think technically there will technically be some of those people but i think it it'll be such an insignificant amount that it just won't matter it'll be the same number of people who like want to pay with gold doubloons instead of us dollars yeah like it's going to be they're out there it's a really small amount of people but i think it will definitely increase again a very small percentage of people but probably a bigger one than we were just talking about people like me to use it a little bit more um i don't like ads but i also don't like running ad blocker because kind of you know we do a thing on the internet and when you do things on the internet ad blocker has the potential of taking away all of your money it doesn't for us obviously um but i i do feel like i don't know i don't want to get into the ad blocker thing because the entire internet just gets super pissed if you ever talk about it but anyways i don't run an ad blocker so i prefer neither do i i prefer to you can do whatever you want i'm not i'm you can do whatever you want unless you want to be cool uh but and people are like uh yeah no i actually haven't gotten around to it i'm just lazy i don't know uh but yeah i would rather pay a website and not have to see ads i liked that about twitch you could get twitch turbo now just everyone's amazon prime i would have called it turbo turbo then you could have a little like mascot for it it's turbo that's actually pretty cute the twerking robot oh okay not cute that's just gebo no where's rancho going this is the nashville it's a parallel universe okay so two topics left which one do you like let's do both we have why not both 12 minutes they're both kind of uh hp printer firmware breaches australian consumer laws i have no idea what's going on take it away uh okay so i'll join you in a moment i think this began yeah in the fall of 2016 hp sold a bunch of printers or updated a bunch of existing printers in australia without telling consumers that their software in these in these printers or in the firmware that is going to limit you from using third-party ink cartridges and that's illegal in australia so now they're in trouble and get this hp is offering consumers who were prevented from using a non-hp cartridge compensation of fifty dollars if you more than two thousand customers suffered under this uh under this software and if they each get their fifty dollars that's gonna cost hp hold on to your tits a hundred thousand dollars hp is like wait how much oh okay great it's like that's seen in awesome powers where he's like a million dollars and they all start laughing yeah fine yeah i was worth a shot no problem they probably got way more sales of ink than that hundred thousand dollars yeah that's that's really not a lot um especially because not all the consumers are going to even claim this no the laziness will prevail in a lot of these kind of situations it's like it's like the idea behind like why are there still mail-in rebates why isn't it just automatically taken off at the till at first because you're probably not going to mail it in heck no especially now god even in the even when snail mail was just called mail i wouldn't do that yeah yeah and most people wouldn't so the the discount actually becomes when you when you do the math on your end it's not ten dollars off every single item that you sell it's ten dollars off like actually a pretty small portion but you will probably send sell more because you can post the price as being lower because you're like it's lowered because of mail and rebate but then no one does it anyways stupid stuff but genius yeah so it's not even gonna be close to a hundred thousand how much is a new like proprietary hp ink cartridge i don't know 100 bucks i let's it really depends on uh i wish i had the model number the printer here 25 36 that's the thing it really depends on what printer it is because like this hp 61 thing and like this one but then like the laserjet ones more but they said ink cartridge so it's not that okay i don't know it really depends on what cartridge it is well all i'm going to say is even if like half the people affected just bought ink then they've already paid for the whole scandal so in australia about 60 bucks a cartridge apparently 60 australian yeah that'll be like i think it's stronger than canadian peso but like not as strong as the u.s someone just gave me the price per pallet that's that's cool but no exactly not particularly helpful at the moment um one more topic yeah okay let's move on uh mining it was hard and uh now it's gonna be harder new bitmain asic miners or easier depending on how you approach it yeah it's harder for the average show yeah easier to actually get done harder for your average these the uh bitcain bitmain asic miners uh and it's it smashes GPU performance we've got crypto mining hardware blah blah blah blah for 2 000 it can perform as well as 15 1080 ti gpus at a mere 300 watts equihash is the algorithm used by zcash zencash bitcoin gold bitcoin z bitcoin private komodo z classic and i believe potentially even more um so what this means is that it's so much more efficient to use this uh what they call an asic an application specific integrated circuit a specialized computer it's so much more efficient to use that than just use a regular off-the-shelf GPU that it brings a concern about how decentralized and free the uh cryptocurrency is now because in the utopian world that we enthusiasts dream about anyone can can support the network anyone can be a node in the network because you can just use an off-the-shelf GPU that you probably have in your computer anyway once there's a specialized machine that's sold by one company then there's then it's centralized basically it's not and the thing is with these it's like you've got a fed then like bitmain asic miners and stuff it's like you're not gonna get one um they sell out so fast and their supply is not high enough that a huge percentage of it is people reselling it or kind of more like back end deals what is that is that temporary by the time it becomes easy enough for you to buy one they'll be close enough to the next one that you probably shouldn't that's that's sort of been the pattern for a long time what i mean for the industry in the future won't there be competition there could be two or three people producing these things we'll see i think a lot of companies are kind of scared about jumping in because it's such an incredibly volatile market um that's why it's far future yeah it's like has to stabilize first we'll see yeah it'll be interesting and like bitcoin is slightly going back up sort of maybe so i don't know who knows we'll see i'm into the ether price that's what i look at every day here we go damn it's almost at 800 us again yes it's almost at half of what it was what is what does Jake feel about all this there are other companies yeah and they're just going to change the algorithms anyway so yeah what happened with them over there they changed them like before it mattered but most of the time bitmain has already been mined no one can hear you three to four months get in the show get in the show so what he's saying is there is other companies and like yeah i know we've we've talked about them on on WAN Show before um and but there's a lot of like what he's saying is by the time these things hit market even bit main has been mining on them themselves for a long time so like i don't know the mining space is so it's it's very it's very messy you have to be like really into it um to to probably stay on top of the thing is though like this algorithm equihash was meant to it was like designed to prevent centralization of the mining process and there's been other cryptocurrencies that this happened to and then after these asics come out they just like alter the algorithm so that it it kind of uh nullifies the lead that those asics give themselves yeah so maybe people right now people don't know if equihash will do the same thing and then gpus will still be relevant or if there's fork but either way we won't know until the future and speaking of the future that's where you'll have to be to see the next WAN Show or to see any more of the wine show because we're going to leave yes yeah there's a parallel uniform there's a many worlds hypothesis here where there's a wancho and a nacho yeah wow so if you want to see either one of those come back here in seven days minus one hour and you'll be good to go well probably not even the minus one hour we were on time today yeah seven days minus like 20 minutes anyways guys goodbye play the intro oh no okay we're good clench harder okay which one am i uh this one i'm the couch yes perfect i'm that little companion cube on the couch that lion's just put up his butt yay squarespace box no private internet access and you want to do it again no i thought i missed it that's why i did it okay there we go fresh box thank you very much we'll see you next time"}
