18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,280
spent most of the time prior to the show being late today putting our entire

19
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:28,479
audio setup back together because and this was a very ill-advised move on my

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:30,720
part i took it all off and unplugged it

21
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:35,759
all about half an hour before the show was supposed to start because i was

22
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,799
actually making a video about wendell you you would love this thing uh

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,680
actually you know what here hold on a second let me uh let me see if i have my

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,600
uh oh oh i do have it can i just can i just throw this up here yeah it's sick

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,840
okay so i'm just gonna i'm just gonna full screen this

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:57,840
all the usb cameras check this thing

27
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,840
out that is a server cabinet

28
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,880
wait he can't see it no wendell can't see it he's he's on a different he's on

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,759
a different computer okay four post server rack that uh is amazing

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,879
and magical hold on well okay they can see it if you were watching the twitch

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,319
stream then you'd be able to see it can you see it now

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,319
uh is it the oh that's the one that looks like a uh yeah that's from uh i

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,800
star usa that's right yeah that's uh you know there's a law

34
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,560
firm i'm aware of a law firm that bought one of those because of an unfortunate

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,000
placement of a 24-port switch and they're like where they're the line came

36
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,760
in for like their fiber or whatever

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
the lawyer's offices and he's like this is this is uncalled for and that totally

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,000
is like a good solution for that yep i think it's a great solution if you're

39
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:49,040
looking to increase the sort of wife factor appeal of something like a um you

40
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,319
know a bunch of audio recording gear so so basically i was trying to find every

41
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,400
rack mount cool looking thing with lots of dials and switches on it and throw it

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,400
in there and i took pictures of where all the cables went because i have no

43
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:04,640
idea how to set up our compressor our preamp our headphone amp for monitoring

44
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,360
in our mixer i had no idea focusrite flew here to set it up for me

45
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,720
and uh so i but i i forgot

46
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,640
even taking a picture wasn't enough for me because i forgot

47
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,440
that i had taken a picture of the front where there was also some very important

48
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,800
stuff so i put all the back stuff back together like why isn't the morning room

49
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,720
working anyway

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,040
let's roll the intro which doesn't work and

51
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,319
sorry there's a bit of a delay on the line there i'm sorry i'm sorry i don't

52
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:39,040
know i was gonna say it doesn't matter you've got 465 people so it's fine

53
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:45,440
yeah all right we'll be right back we'll be right back intro time

54
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,560
yes i haven't fixed this file yet it has no audio

55
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,200
that has a picture of luke but luke's not on the show today because it's

56
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,200
wendell

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,840
okay yep i'd pause the thing okay Linus tech tips

58
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,400
and they have sponsors because

59
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:12,080
otherwise they would not be able to pay their bills which is cool i guess okay

60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,959
and we're back

61
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,120
so i've got a few people asking me to turn wendell up a little bit i'm going to

62
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,400
turn you up a little bit see if that makes them happy although a lot of people are saying it's perfect 10 out of

63
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,199
10. so uh i'm going to go with that and selective taking selective feedback this

64
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:30,320
is the new way is it not taking the the things you want to hear and focusing on

65
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,320
those how is it down in america actually we don't get political on the show anymore

66
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,320
so you don't have to answer that

67
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,320
yes yes

68
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,800
27

69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,400
i'm glad you asked i'm just gonna drink some more of this

70
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,479
tea that's code for i don't know what's

71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,840
going on help me fortunately this tea isn't from mexico or i'd be paying 20

72
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,840
more for it now

73
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,320
so much for nafta i mean

74
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,639
yep okay why don't we talk about something

75
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,520
that is a far less political and uh less

76
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:20,400
controversial subject that was you know a source of less strife for you in the

77
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:25,759
last little bit you got to explain why are you level one text now

78
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:29,199
well see there's much less drama right yeah we kind of we kind of started over

79
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,240
i you know i wasn't really sure it was a lot of fun i kind of like doing this you

80
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:39,840
know so i'm i've i've been a consultant for you know the better part of a decade

81
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,720
and um i do programming and this this

82
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,960
sort of thing was fun to show off stuff but we have this really amazing

83
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,479
community and so i didn't really want to abandon the community as it were because

84
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,080
there's a lot of people in the community that are like it pros or their students

85
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:57,600
that are like coming up and they're like i don't know if i want to study computer science or if i want to get into

86
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,240
networking or i want to do whatever and it's like well you know maybe we could take a sort

87
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,600
of different a different tack on this and do

88
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:11,440
some you know admittedly niche content niche stuff the the Linux content was

89
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:17,199
really popular i get to meet some really amazing guys um i got i get to meet eric

90
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,840
raymond and tron guy you know tron guy you've seen tron guy right

91
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,520
i actually am not familiar with tron guy

92
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:27,440
yeah he's i'm sorry if you google tron oh just oh the meme

93
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,039
okay yes yeah yeah so it turns out that guy

94
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,240
is an insanely brilliant um mainframe

95
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:39,600
expert and so i've met him and actually

96
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,000
got to talk to him about um system 390

97
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:46,080
and he works in the hercules emulator and uh he's just a fascinating brilliant

98
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,880
guy and so it's just level one is about that

99
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,120
kind of stuff it's about those kind of projects because you never know

100
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,599
you know who the celebrity meme person is going to be that actually works on a

101
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:05,840
you know like a mainframe emulator yes star wars kid he's he's a sound designer

102
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,800
oh i didn't know no no no no no i think he ended up getting bullied

103
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,680
and dropping out of school or something like that i'm not sure exactly what

104
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:17,840
happened there oh well that kind of sucks i guess yeah

105
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,840
no that's actually not very funny um

106
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,680
let's have been good yep okay

107
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,319
so are you going to are you going to touch on any of the i mean i'm sure

108
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,160
people would be would love to hear your side of the story the entire chat is

109
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,199
going like uh blah blah blah text indicate this text indicate that are you

110
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:42,319
gonna are you gonna talk about it no i don't think so

111
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:47,039
it's just it was fun while it lasted

112
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,560
uh this is a little bit different and it is what it is so

113
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:55,440
yeah having fun so far yeah so far it's actually been i was

114
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,759
actually kind of surprised by the community the the community was like you

115
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,599
should do this and you know don't go away and blah blah blah it was like okay

116
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,759
well i mean i guess that's fine uh and so that that worked out really

117
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,680
well i was really surprised by you know the support from the community

118
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,599
so far and just kind of trying this as an experiment and doing doing fun

119
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:20,560
interesting stuff but you know i don't this this whole like youtube e-celebrity

120
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:23,599
whatever i don't really like honestly i really don't fully get it like i just i

121
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:28,319
don't really i'm just nerding out and i guess the

122
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,719
audience is along for the ride so what you don't uh you you don't

123
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:37,919
you don't get uh you know why someone might think that

124
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,519
like jenna marbles is the most amazing person on earth or

125
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,880
i just i feel every time i make a video there's a little voice in the back of my

126
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:48,240
head that is like you self-important blowhard why are you doing this this

127
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,440
doesn't make any sense at all and it's just like well

128
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:56,240
i get i mean it's like i'm spreading the gospel of open source and and uh and

129
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:59,519
Linux and and you know knowledge is power and all that kind of stuff so i

130
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,120
guess it's all right yeah you guys i mean just from like a

131
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,560
purely sort of um you know self-important blowhard sort of uh

132
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:12,320
you know but really focused on being an e-celebrity sort of perspective you guys

133
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:16,720
are doing really well i mean for such a new channel 130 000

134
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,640
subscribers but more importantly than that the last four videos are averaging

135
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:25,519
about 30 000 views give or take

136
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:30,080
each or the last five or so which means that a quarter of your audience

137
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,360
is watching is interested yeah everything you put up

138
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:39,200
i mean for me people can look at it and they'll go oh yeah he's got like 3.6 million

139
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:44,880
subscribers but we're averaging like 500 600 000 views per video so that means

140
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:46,560
that like one seventh and i'm not that

141
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,480
great at mental math so hopefully that's pretty close but closer to a sixth or a

142
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,680
seventh so those are like really really impressive numbers

143
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,080
it's it's really kind of weird though because like some of the content is

144
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:04,640
really really esoteric like we did like the smb multi-channel video and i can't

145
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:08,399
i can't imagine that anybody would have just a casual interest in that but if

146
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,959
you're a system administrator or somebody that's like been through that banging your head against a wall there's

147
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,000
information in there that you just you can't get anywhere else because

148
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,120
uh nobody has bothered to ride it up and plus microsoft's changed it like 12

149
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:26,160
different times so uh you know but there's a it's really

150
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,800
dense technical information so i guess that's good and the Linux videos are

151
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:33,600
kind of like that but um the storage server video there's

152
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:37,200
not really a lot of technical content in that we the first version of that was

153
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,800
like an hour long and it had a lot of technical information but we sort of did

154
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,519
a funny skit in it i don't know if you saw it or not but you you there was a little picture of

155
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,839
you and on a picture and there was on the wall and some other you know tech

156
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,959
youtubers and yarn it was kind of funny but uh you have to watch it

157
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,920
when we're building our storage server and so it's a it's a it's based on a

158
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,600
fedora which is a distribution of Linux and it's using zfs and so there's about

159
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,360
a hundred hard drives and four rack mount chassis and an old

160
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,680
google server and so it's 172 terabytes and i had a blast not only building that

161
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:13,279
but also sort of documenting it on video at one point i rode the rack

162
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,079
it's on a wheeled rack and so at one point i rode the rack like a skateboard

163
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,000
around the office and there's a little a little bit of that in the video

164
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:23,440
but uh doing that kind of like i'm gonna i'm doing that stuff anyway whether or

165
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:26,560
not it's on camera and so now it's just like oh i can do it on camera and people

166
00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:31,360
watch that and you know there's ad dollars for that okay sounds good i

167
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:36,560
could just buy more random crap so i mean the intention for you is never

168
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,360
to turn this into your full-time gig is it i don't think so

169
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:47,120
the the the interesting situation i mean maybe but the situation is that a lot of

170
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,320
the stuff that that we would be doing videos on

171
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,519
are things that i'm doing professionally or things that are connected to things

172
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,279
that i'm doing professionally and so like we're working on a video right now

173
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,519
on docker which is like a programming thing and if i weren't doing that

174
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,959
professionally i don't know that i would

175
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,279
know enough about it to do a video that's like this is how you get started

176
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,880
with docker this is how you're productive with this same thing with like zfs and the server it's like if i

177
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,880
wasn't doing it professionally i don't know that i would

178
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:20,560
sort of figure that out and i don't know the content would be

179
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:24,000
interesting i'm just throwing up your uh throwing up your video here on the on

180
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:29,040
the screen share so people can see you sitting next to what is that a 6u

181
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:32,399
uh it's two it's four for you cabinets and one to you server well that i think

182
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,399
oh you're probably not looking at the same uh frame of the video as me okay so

183
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,240
there you go there's this is a good view of it so there's the there's the two

184
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,000
four u's right there you guys and then there's the 2u right up there

185
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:48,240
um let's see if i can find your fun little

186
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:53,120
skit part where do you where do you ride the where do you ride the

187
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:54,959
rack because that sounds amazing

188
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,880
there's a gif of it somewhere that the people have already made so it's it's

189
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,040
probably it's there's it's probably in the description or something i don't know but it's uh

190
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,760
uh yeah it just ended up being kind of nuts

191
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:11,360
and it's not insanely fast it's only got one 10 gig interface right now i've got

192
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:14,639
to get a dual 10 gig adapter for it but it can move a

193
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,079
Gigabyte per second no problem and it's all spinning rust i do have one NVMe in

194
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:21,440
there for caching but but uh other than that it's all spinning

195
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:26,480
rust which is not bad so we are we are finally uh oh i ha i

196
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:31,519
have figured out how i'm doing the archival storage actually

197
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,800
so it looks like we're gonna be using blaster fs

198
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:40,639
cool that's awesome that will be good i think so that's um right now

199
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:45,279
we've got all of the super fast stuff so the pure NVMe storage server that's

200
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,800
running Windows server native smb there's

201
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:53,760
a lot to be said for it um is it perfect no

202
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:56,320
but support for pure NVMe diy solutions

203
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,480
right now as far as i can tell is sort of

204
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:02,720
yeah not really exist not doesn't really

205
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:07,040
exist i mean if you want to go to ibm or something and you want to buy some hyper

206
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:13,360
fast you know 100 you know Gigabyte like you know super

207
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:18,079
flash storage doodad that plunks into a proprietary system sure go for it um

208
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,440
yeah you gotta be careful with those because they'll happily take your fifty

209
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:26,000
thousand dollars but it doesn't always live up to the hype i mean

210
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,120
uh it's just you gotta get one and play with it and don't be afraid to send it

211
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,800
back even though it costs you know five six figures but that's the thing is on

212
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:38,720
the very high end there's that on the very low end there's you're not buying

213
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,920
48 NVMe drives because you're trying to do it more cheaply than that so and

214
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,760
there's this there's this in between that super micro built this server that

215
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:51,040
i don't understand who the customer is for but i ended up with one and uh and

216
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,680
so Windows Windows server it is i guess for now anyway so we've got that for

217
00:14:53,199 --> 00:15:00,320
high speed and then we're moving to uh gluster fs uh running on i forget some

218
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,079
Linux distro once again i'm having people who understand it better than i

219
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,480
do uh fly up here and set it up for me so uh brett from 45 drives is actually

220
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,199
coming up to set us up so we are actually aiming and i'm not sure if

221
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:17,040
we're going to get there yet because that moolah but we are aiming to do a

222
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,040
one petabyte storage machine the petabyte price nice

223
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:26,079
nice seagate just laid off a bunch of people though so i don't know what that means

224
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:29,519
for the hard drive industry spinning rust yeah well they laid off a bunch of

225
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:34,320
people we talked about this on the wine show last week actually so i don't think we can do it as a full topic but they

226
00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:37,519
they laid off a bunch of people and they closed down like

227
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:43,519
significantly into double-digit percentages of their hard drive production capacity

228
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,360
at that time had they announced the 14 and 16 terabyte drives i had just

229
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,440
noticed that the last few days no i don't think so

230
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:56,160
yeah they just announced 14 and 16 terabyte capacity drives

231
00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:00,560
but i can't get any information out of them on the throughput of the drives

232
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,240
because it seems like the capacity of the drives have been going up and up and

233
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,880
up and up but the throughput on the drives really hasn't improved all that

234
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:13,839
much and like our i mean you know our storage array is basically

235
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:18,079
uh surplus so it was retired i got lucky though because the power on hours on all

236
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:22,240
the drives are only about 18 months and the you like mechanical hard drives you

237
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,160
can set your watch by their design at least enterprise grade they're designed

238
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:30,160
to last five years anything beyond five years you are on borrowed time and and

239
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:33,519
that that comes from a decade of experience and uh

240
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,519
the the drives that we've got they're only two terabytes there's like 100 of

241
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:42,560
them but uh but the time to replicate them is really

242
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,639
really quick like those drives have a have a streaming performance or just you

243
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,240
know transfer rate of like 150 megabytes per second 100 450 at the

244
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:56,000
fastest part of the disc so re-imaging two terabytes not a big

245
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:58,480
deal re-imaging 14 terabytes at say 200

246
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,120
megabytes yeah 7210 maybe yeah i mean that's going to take like

247
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:07,760
days i mean not to mention you look at what western digital is doing for their

248
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:12,240
12 and 14 terabyte disks so their 12 is going to be a

249
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:17,520
standard um perpendicular magnetic recording but their 14 terabyte is only

250
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,799
going to be available in shingled

251
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,280
yeah the rewrites on that aren't going to be fun

252
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:27,919
i guess it's good for archives but yep which is about it which is exactly what

253
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,440
we plan to be using stuff like that for but um

254
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:36,640
yeah it's going to be uh it's gonna be a very interesting next next few years i mean uh look uh

255
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:40,080
walking around in seagate's booth at ces i don't know if you were were you down

256
00:17:37,679 --> 00:17:44,480
at ces or no no no i skipped ces i'm hoping to make it to computex but uh you

257
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:48,240
know it's only 125 000 subs i've gotta i gotta spend a couple of years growing my

258
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,960
subscribers or whatever well we'll try to throw a few your day

259
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:59,640
wait today thanks appreciate it i'm learning the lingo learning the

260
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,640
vernacular as it were subs yeah

261
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,640
all right so um next topic of the day i don't know if you i don't know if you

262
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:13,039
looked at the video i'm sure you didn't because you would have already known the answer to this um we did a video

263
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:17,440
yesterday i think it was yesterday yeah yesterday called does a thousand dollar

264
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,640
Windows perform better

265
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:26,400
where we took a server version of Windows and basically you

266
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,600
know ran your typical desktop benchmarks

267
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,960
against good old-fashioned Windows 10

268
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:36,080
and the comments on this video are just

269
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,919
just poisonous um so so this guy says

270
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:42,320
wow the ignorance in this video is tremendous no one is actually paying the

271
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:46,400
server edition of Windows for performance they are paying that big

272
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:52,400
buck for its features uh i really thought that Linus would research first

273
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,760
before making these kinds of videos

274
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,960
so tell me something wendell you've known me for about four years now actually i think

275
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:03,600
you've known me for about four years do you think that i expected

276
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,000
the server version of Windows to perform dramatically different from the desktop

277
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,880
one yeah probably not do

278
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:16,559
you think there is a case to be made for making a video because perhaps somebody

279
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,559
else other than the host might not know

280
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:22,480
this yeah that that could come out i could

281
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,720
see that maybe i could see that as it relates to the

282
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:32,320
game mode the upcoming game mode for Windows honestly because if you look at

283
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,080
like um the host processes and the default loadout on like which services

284
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,440
are enabled and what server is doing and blah blah blah yeah especially

285
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,760
especially if you start with like core os and you just enable the desktop

286
00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:47,840
experience and that's all you've got uh depending on what you're doing that

287
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,120
can actually be faster if you can do whatever you're doing without the

288
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:54,880
desktop experience then that would even be better but for

289
00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:00,000
desktop workloads you're probably going to need the desktop experience you probably will um

290
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:04,240
and honestly the the most frustrating thing about this is that like the very

291
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,880
beginning of the video i even point out old forum threads from back in the vista

292
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,559
days of people asking does vista ultimate perform better

293
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,480
oh actually i think that was true i think that not vista ultimate but i

294
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,440
think that like server 08 actually did perform better than vista because vista

295
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:24,160
was just a huge steaming pile of trash

296
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,000
i ran vista for a long time maybe you just didn't have the horses

297
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,200
that's right that might be true i mean it's possible i mean i wasn't trying to

298
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:36,159
run vista on a on a netbook either though so that i mean that was painful

299
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,600
you remember that when they were shipping netbooks with vista

300
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:45,600
oh yeah i tried to use one once i was just like this is ridiculous

301
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,640
um so let's talk a little bit about Windows 10 game mode because i've actually got like i'm sure you have the

302
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,039
same video in the in the works so it's going to be the race to who can make it

303
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,480
first but Windows 10 game mode versus those

304
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:03,919
Windows 10 d bloatify scripts that you can run versus stock Windows 10 out of

305
00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:07,840
the box how interesting of a video is that going to be

306
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:12,559
you know in the preliminary testing that we've done there's not like the the game

307
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:17,200
mode the the build we played with was the very first version that enabled game

308
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:20,960
mode and honestly i couldn't really tell that it did a whole lot other than it

309
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:23,600
disabled search indexer while you're while the game was running which

310
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,400
okay and uh there was something else that it did it

311
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:33,760
did something with the dvr the xbox live dvr sure and and that was and it's like

312
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:37,919
okay i mean sure the the blow script that we have mostly disables the

313
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:42,640
telemetry and all that crap so do any of these things fix the start

314
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,159
menu yet no you mean when the start menu just

315
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,360
randomly doesn't respond sometimes yeah yeah no isn't that baffling yeah it

316
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:56,080
really is i'll give you one better uh Windows 10 the the builds that we that

317
00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:00,240
we use in the like for business stuff uh randomly after like three or four

318
00:21:57,919 --> 00:22:02,960
days it's just stops being responsive you have to restart the whole machine

319
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,919
eventually explorer will crash for no apparent reason

320
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,840
really did you try turning it off and turning it back on again did that fix it that

321
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:15,440
does fix it oh good well i mean yeah i'm talking to the

322
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,039
level one text guy right so i got to throw these jokes in here

323
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:26,240
so in a nutshell oh for uh for those of you who aren't familiar

324
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:30,000
with game mode uh we've got an article here from rs technica that we got all of

325
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,720
our information from because we don't do any actual research but the idea behind

326
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:39,360
it is improved resource allocation gives a boost to frame rates and in a nutshell

327
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:43,600
um they're saying that when game mode is active the os will lean towards

328
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:47,200
allocating CPU and GPU resources to the game i don't know what else it would be

329
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,480
allocating GPU resources to but who knows for games that are CPU or GPU

330
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:56,240
bound um kevin gamel partner group program

331
00:22:53,679 --> 00:22:59,840
manager for the xbox platform said that they were seeing frame rate improvements

332
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,400
of two to five percent i mean

333
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:08,159
the thing about frame rate improvements from two to five percent is that it's one of those things where it sounds kind

334
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:13,360
of good on paper but in practice a two percent frame rate improvement is what

335
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:17,440
at 60 FPS yeah not enough is that the difference

336
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,240
between like the hardware that you had now you're like really getting the most

337
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:25,760
out of it and uh a terrible gaming experience

338
00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:31,520
i don't based on the testing that we've done i don't think we're gonna do a video on this but here's something that

339
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,360
you could try for for yours in task manager as a control

340
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,919
just right click on the game process and set it to an elevated priority not real

341
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:42,400
time not high just the the one that's above normal

342
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:47,120
and um i bet that will result in a two to five

343
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,120
percent performance increase hmm

344
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,400
just elevating the process i mean there's uh

345
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,480
that was one of the fixes from rockstar when gta 5 first came out

346
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:03,280
um for like middle of the road i5 systems they were like everything is

347
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,200
fine but sometimes it goes glitchy and weird literally the the thing from

348
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,960
rockstar was uh right click on the thing and set it to

349
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,640
above normal and people were like oh my god that fixed it

350
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:17,679
so and it might be the Windows is doing you know like the search index or

351
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:22,240
in the background or whatever the malware service is executable is the

352
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,360
one that keeps killing my like my my razor blade will be sitting on a

353
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:29,200
table like 10 feet away from me and it'll start

354
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:33,840
going i go over there i'm like what do you

355
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,760
mean 18 CPU usage there's nothing open

356
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,440
it's doing a background scan because that's what you need right yeah i need

357
00:24:37,679 --> 00:24:43,600
that when i'm running on battery thank you thank you

358
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,760
um so anyway game mode in case you do care

359
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,120
about it will work for both traditional win 32 games and new universal Windows

360
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,279
platform games um the creators update will ship

361
00:24:53,679 --> 00:24:58,880
with a periodically updated white list of known games for automatically

362
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:03,760
enabling game mode so that's cool i guess

363
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:06,640
whitelist for increasing the priority like i can do that with a powershell

364
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:10,799
script done

365
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:13,760
anyway back to back to making videos that we already know the answer to i

366
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,159
think probably i think this is one of my biggest

367
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:22,559
frustrations as a content creator because we actually did one quite a

368
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:28,480
while back um does water cooling

369
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:31,840
make your room cooler or something along those lines i can't remember exactly

370
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,400
what we called it yeah there it is does water cooling make your room cooler and

371
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:41,520
the one that drove me craziest on that one at least with the Windows versus

372
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:46,480
Windows server video people were like Linus you're an idiot because

373
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,159
of they got the right answer they they knew that like there shouldn't

374
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:54,559
be much of a difference with this one

375
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:59,840
half the comments are Linus you're an idiot you why would you think this and

376
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:04,960
the other half of the comments are Linus you're an idiot of course it makes your

377
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,559
room cooler how did you not know that

378
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,840
i'm sitting here going that is why i made the video

379
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,760
now i'm probably going to get some hate for saying this but uh yeah

380
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,440
you know you've got your computer and your computer is drawing you know 700

381
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:25,600
watts 800 watts or whatever uh that is that is functionally no

382
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:30,159
different than having a space heater that is dumping 700 or 800 watts of heat

383
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:32,960
into your room it's like oh the computer is like you you really want to get

384
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:37,520
pedantic you can be like oh the computer is doing the work and the amount of

385
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:41,360
energy that's going into doing work is not going to generate heat that is

386
00:26:39,679 --> 00:26:44,880
negligible yeah that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard because it's

387
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:49,360
pretty obvious okay like when you have a heat sink on your CPU okay you touch the

388
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:54,799
heat sink it's very hot and when you have a water cooling

389
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,799
radiator water is inherently cold

390
00:26:55,039 --> 00:27:01,440
somewhere else yeah no no no no no water the water is much cooler much cooler you

391
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,760
touch the radiator no no

392
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:11,120
i mean that my friends is why when you have a laptop that's running really hot

393
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:15,440
and you take it into a room you can look right out the window and

394
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,640
bam temperature goes down global warming defeated

395
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:23,520
if that's one of the things did you guys do a video on um

396
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,640
alternative uh fluids for liquid cooling because that has come up a lot on our

397
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:30,480
forums and it's just like jesus the specific heat capacity of water is

398
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:34,240
really good it's hard to beat it no i haven't i mean that's one of those

399
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:39,919
things where we've shied away from some of the really really nerdy enthusiast

400
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:43,120
topics like that um it's something that i've been aware of for a long time i

401
00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:48,799
don't know how long how long have you been in the water cooling scene you're more of a like an enterprise tech guy

402
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:53,520
i've never done a custom loop water cooler ever okay so

403
00:27:51,520 --> 00:28:00,720
um i've been in the the custom water cooler scene since about 2006 or so and

404
00:27:57,919 --> 00:28:05,039
back then the the popular one was an additive called water wetter that was an

405
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,159
automotive additive so people were putting that in their in their water

406
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:14,399
cooling loops and i think people were getting quite confused um in those days especially

407
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:20,320
because there was a lot of a lot more even a lot more misinformation

408
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,559
so people were putting water wetter in

409
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:26,720
on the advice of friends and water wetter was supposed to be was supposed

410
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,559
to it was advertised that it would help with cooling but i think one of its more

411
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:35,120
important characteristics was actually an anti-corrosive additive that was in

412
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:39,600
it so back then mixing metals uh brass copper aluminum even on the same piece

413
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,600
was a lot more common because people were actually pulling heater cores out

414
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,679
of um out of cars and using them as water cooling radiators

415
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:52,480
yeah so uh oh okay apparently water wetter is

416
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:56,240
used in uh motorcycles apparently that's that's what it's for i thought it was

417
00:28:53,440 --> 00:29:00,320
automotive anyway the point is that it has always been true and it continues

418
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,240
to be true today um you know whether you're talking

419
00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:09,760
fesser one or whether you're talking fluid xp or whatever the case may be

420
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:14,240
pretty much any fluid that you put in a water cooling loop other than mineral

421
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:18,159
oil which i would strongly recommend against because it'll destroy the hell

422
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,000
out of all of your gaskets and tubing so please don't do that unless you're

423
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:27,120
putting like mineral oil or what's it called floor inert that stuff from 3m

424
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:32,159
yeah yeah or floor nerd or something into your tubing whatever you use will

425
00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:35,600
eventually become somewhat electrically conductive because that's just the way

426
00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:39,600
it works all those cooler fluid xp is water-based um it just has some kind of

427
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,039
glycol of some sort in it and then it has something else in it i can't

428
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,919
remember but eventually it'll pick up enough metal ions that it will become

429
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:50,399
conductive and the other thing is that the more you

430
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,240
add to water the worse it will perform that's why if i'm actually building a

431
00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:59,679
water-cooled system that i actually intend to run for more than a couple of

432
00:29:56,399 --> 00:30:02,399
months as a showcase then all i run is

433
00:29:59,679 --> 00:30:05,600
water with a couple drops of iodine or with a chunk of silver in it that's the

434
00:30:04,159 --> 00:30:10,240
only thing you should use for the best performance yeah and that makes sense chemically i

435
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,279
mean you would want to use even like the metal ions that the water picks up the

436
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:18,320
water itself is going to conduct electricity because the water becomes ionized

437
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:21,919
so you would i mean you probably is there any mythology around using

438
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:27,520
distilled water or something like that because it seems like that would also help it be more chemically stable

439
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:31,200
yeah a lot of people a lot of people want to use distilled water in their

440
00:30:29,919 --> 00:30:35,440
loops a lot of people say that's the best thing to use personally we don't

441
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,039
have particularly heavy tap water around here anyway so i've always

442
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:43,360
you know what's really funny okay okay we're getting we're oh we're digging up

443
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:47,360
the stories now so every time

444
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:52,320
in a video you've seen me pull out a jug of distilled water and pour it into a

445
00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:56,880
water cooling loop i am just appeasing the distilled water fanboys that's

446
00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,799
that's tap water i drank the distilled water

447
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:05,360
or i found a jug somewhere like it doesn't matter

448
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:09,760
it's fine i won't tell anybody if you don't yeah that's right

449
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,279
so um so yeah there's that

450
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:20,000
and twitch chat's freaking out twitch chat's freaking out yeah no i it

451
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:24,880
it doesn't make a difference um you know what i do have to jump into now

452
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:29,520
is our sponsor spots for the show today we have gotten through almost no topics

453
00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:33,600
it's amazing how long how much time you can kill just shooting the breeze

454
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:37,760
so our first sponsor of the day is freshbooks freshbooks is the easy to use

455
00:31:36,159 --> 00:31:41,679
invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional and get

456
00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:47,519
paid faster though that's not to say that um like it's all about looking more

457
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:52,159
professional it actually makes you more professional when you track your

458
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:56,080
expenses accurately and you track your hours accurately and you send your

459
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,760
invoices on time and you have ways for people to pay they've actually got a

460
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:04,480
card reader now so they've got a way to pay through the card reader they've got a way to pay through the freshbooks

461
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:09,600
platform all this stuff legitimately makes you more organized and more

462
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:14,399
professional they've actually even got a feature that lets you know if your

463
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:18,480
clients looked at the invoice so that eliminates the guessing games of like oh

464
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:23,120
i'm sorry i didn't pay for little sally's uh you know bocce ball lesson or

465
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:27,440
whatever the case may be um i didn't see the invoice but can you

466
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:31,120
teach her today anyway no little sally sits out today

467
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:34,159
because i know you saw the invoice you just didn't pay it or you could be

468
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,760
merciful and you could let little sally play bocce ball

469
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,159
does anyone do anyone in twitch chat even know what bocce ball is

470
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:46,159
i don't have a clue what that is it's lawn darts but with balls

471
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,200
oh okay so you throw a little ball and then you throw a big ball and then

472
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:51,840
someone else throws a big ball and you throw your big ball whoever's closest

473
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,880
wins it's like curling for americans where they don't

474
00:32:53,919 --> 00:33:00,880
have ice i think lawn darts are illegal here in the u.s lawn darts are super illegal in

475
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:04,640
the u.s and in canada i've been trying to get my hands on a set for uh for a

476
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:08,880
channel superfund video for quite some time they're illegal to sell illegal to

477
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:13,200
buy illegal to own they're basically illegal in every

478
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,640
possible way so i've i've been having a fair bit of difficulty getting my hands

479
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,600
on any of that stuff uh sounds like you need to talk to a

480
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,600
metal fabricator and they can make you some can they probably be even more badass than the originals wow yeah we

481
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:29,840
could have like instead of like a nine inch long spike we could have like a 16

482
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,200
inch long spike and they could be like they could the whole thing could be like

483
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,840
three feet long giant lawn that's actually not a terrible i mean it's a

484
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:40,480
terrible idea but it's a fun idea it's the best kind of

485
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:44,240
terrible idea uh i do have one more sponsor spot

486
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,399
vertiger you can check out vertiger's gaming chairs over at vertiger.com so

487
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,360
the one that i'm sitting in this is the s line

488
00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:55,600
there you go so you got a little vertigo logo over there just takes one person to assemble the

489
00:33:54,159 --> 00:33:58,960
chair i'm not actually quite sure how that's a selling point i've never had

490
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,000
enough difficulty assembling a chair that i needed someone to help me unless

491
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:04,640
it was from ikea and that has nothing to do with the difficulty of assembling the

492
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,879
chair and more to do with the documentation it glides very smoothly on

493
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:12,960
any surface the tall backrest is meant for the neck shoulders and lumbar

494
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:16,399
support and like the plus line which i was supposed to tell you about first

495
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:19,520
apparently but the plus line is the chair that luke normally sits in as you

496
00:34:17,919 --> 00:34:22,720
can see there is no chair and there is no luke like the plus line you can

497
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:28,399
adjust the seat to fit your height it's got an adjustable armrest which is cushioned for the ARM as opposed to

498
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:31,839
cushion for your balls i suppose which is good because most people don't sit on

499
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:34,800
the armrest in order to prevent stress relieve muscle strain as well as any

500
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,960
other shoulder or wrist pain i don't know how the ARM rest affects wrist pain

501
00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:42,159
but okay the knob under the seat can be set in order to match your weight so you

502
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:47,440
can rock and tilt with these and that actually does work quite well and the backrest can be changed from 80 degrees

503
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:52,639
to 150 degrees so you can check out their gaming chairs at

504
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:54,399
vertiger.com or at the link below which

505
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:58,240
says video description don't copy this copy below and paste that please thank

506
00:34:56,240 --> 00:35:01,839
you Colton for putting that in there all right

507
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,200
so why don't we jump into some of our other topics here what else do we got

508
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:10,960
that's like interesting i don't even i don't even know this is like zoomed in it's the post ces

509
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:16,960
slow season it's been slow for us too on the news i know there's like nothing i

510
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:19,280
mean uh x verizon lawyer is now the

511
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:23,520
chair of the fcc okay so that's that's just that's terrible um

512
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:27,440
let's wait and see what evil things he does before we make fun of him okay sure

513
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:31,920
in the meantime there's a link to the rs technica article that uh that that's

514
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:36,640
from yeah okay oh man i

515
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:41,839
yeah okay no we don't we've been cutting back on on on the the

516
00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:47,359
political sort of nature of the show ever since we got um sort of roasted for

517
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:52,640
talking about nothing but donald trump for an entire episode

518
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:55,359
of what is purportedly a tech show

519
00:35:52,640 --> 00:36:01,520
oh the schadenfreude for my countrymen um all right oh vivaldi ceo calls on

520
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:08,240
microsoft to quote unquote do the right thing and stop aggressive edge pushing

521
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:10,240
so how excited do you get

522
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:14,560
when you're sitting there using Windows because i know using Windows gets all of

523
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,200
your juices going when you're sitting there using Windows

524
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,839
10 and you open up another browser and you

525
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:26,560
get a little little pop-up little pop-up from the taskbar it's all like hey did

526
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:30,160
you know that chrome is 22 percent faster than some arbitrary thing we

527
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,400
pulled out of our butt uh edge did you know that edges did i

528
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:37,760
say chrome okay yeah chrome's not faster than anything that was obviously a an

529
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,680
error it's it's been doing that i mean maybe

530
00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:44,720
it's because i'm on the insider build on the Windows machines that i have to use

531
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:48,400
regularly i'm i'm not sure but it's been doing that for like six months but it's

532
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:53,280
not just chrome it's been doing it with a lot of things yeah uh even just like

533
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:57,040
the office pop-ups and it's like oh let's get microsoft office and let's do

534
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,720
a trial but the version of microsoft office that i have is for developers and

535
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:03,920
so it's like i've got microsoft office installed some dumb ass programmer

536
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:08,119
didn't take into account if you're running the developer version of office

537
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:15,280
yeah um so basically it's addressing and so so this is kind

538
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:19,280
of the quote so it addresses how microsoft's anti-competitive practices

539
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:22,640
create problems for the user so john tells a story about how a friend of his

540
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,800
had her pc upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 with the browser being

541
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:30,720
changed to edge um and again another quote instead of

542
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:34,560
building a better browser microsoft is forcing its product onto people in the

543
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:38,640
most unapologetic manner so i actually was planning to make a video about this

544
00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:42,720
um i switched to edge

545
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:47,599
for edge has better battery life about two weeks because i was trying to

546
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:51,680
address the abominable battery life with chrome i'm a bit of a tab monster uh

547
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,640
this is something i'm attending regular meetings i'm working on it um i have a

548
00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:59,359
sponsor um so i'm a bit of a tab addict and i

549
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:04,880
mean i was getting like a couple hours of battery on my laptop which is like

550
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,119
not very good so i was like okay i heard

551
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:13,440
from microsoft that edge has much better battery life i'm gonna try it

552
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:16,400
it's just such a piece of garbage

553
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:20,000
i mean just just fundamental stuff okay and i don't know if this will happen on

554
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:26,560
every machine but on my machine it definitely does if i click a link if i

555
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,839
click a link in an email in gmail in my

556
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:33,200
browser it manages to crash not only the tab

557
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:37,440
that spawns but also the tab with my gmail in it

558
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:41,280
maybe like 60 of the time like if i do a middle middle click

559
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:46,320
that's surprising i'm sitting here going this is this is ridiculous

560
00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:51,440
how can anything be this unstable and there's all kinds of just rendering

561
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,640
issues um all kinds of crashing that i

562
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,920
mean i don't know what browser to use anymore what are you using

563
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:01,119
uh chromium chromium is a build of chrome with all the google stuff

564
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,440
stripped out yeah yeah and actually the canary build which is like the well

565
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,720
canary's the the like the developer build of chrome it's

566
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,640
like chrome plus one it's like the next version there's a there's a setting that

567
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:17,839
you can tweak in chrome so the non-active tabs don't get CPU and so

568
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:21,599
like any kind of like a background most of its advertiser's fault honestly yeah

569
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:24,560
uh because there's like all kinds of javascript stuff like that running in

570
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:29,440
the background of the tabs that's what's chewing up your battery because chrome was like yeah sure let's keep going

571
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:33,920
eight percent of the battery to this tab sure no problem yeah and uh animations

572
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:37,760
is also the thing a lot of like when you implement animations with javascript if

573
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:42,480
you don't use like request animation frame they'll just run continuously

574
00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:48,240
right um and so nobody knows to use request animation frame

575
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,359
so it's bad but uh if you get the canary

576
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:56,800
version there's a tweak that you can enable and it may be it's i think it's gonna be in chrome 56 55 56 i think 55's

577
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:01,520
out now it's probably going to be in 56 um and when you enable that option you

578
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:05,599
should have reasonable battery life again from

579
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:09,200
super mega i have i too have a problem with a lot of tabs and so

580
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:14,000
uh yeah yeah it's okay you can join my support group if you ever move out to

581
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,760
the west coast this is great just one one person's

582
00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:22,079
complaint about chrome really struck a chord with me

583
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:25,440
how is it even possible that they still do this

584
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:31,040
bullcrap where the first time you launch it the the address bar is here for some

585
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:35,200
reason why why

586
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,920
it's like nobody in the microsoft ux

587
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,160
team for edge has ever heard of muscle memory

588
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:46,400
ever i think that this ui might be designed for geriatrics

589
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,440
because i could see how this might be easy for old people

590
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,680
you know what's really funny though is there's actually been i i'm trying to

591
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:01,839
think of what the other thing that really

592
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:04,319
had me thinking about that recently was

593
00:41:01,839 --> 00:41:07,920
uh i don't remember if it was like an iphone thing or an Android thing or a

594
00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:11,520
Windows thing but i was going through this a little while ago where i kind of

595
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,960
it kind of dawned on me because i was sitting there thinking this product is a

596
00:41:13,119 --> 00:41:19,520
piece of garbage how could anybody like this and i went wow

597
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:22,720
old people that's it

598
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,520
and it was it was such an epiphany for me um

599
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,800
all right so hp laptops caught fire or something i don't know it's a battery's

600
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,800
catching fire seems feels like it's not even news at this point

601
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:38,160
a certain it's entropy i mean you cram a lot of

602
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:42,240
energy in a small space it can't wait to catch on fire i mean that's

603
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,040
again back to physics no no physics is boring we don't talk

604
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:51,119
about that on this show no physics no politics you keep your physics in your politics and you go you

605
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:54,800
put it on level one text we can talk about it

606
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:58,800
well not the politics where we we killed politics on our forum because the mods

607
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,160
were like i'm tired and i want to go home and it's like okay we'll eliminate

608
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:06,960
politics as not related to tech and they're like they're peppy and happy

609
00:42:04,319 --> 00:42:11,520
again it's really nice it's great uh so there's a bunch more details on

610
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:15,599
the nintendo dot co dot uk website about the switch so they've got like a whole

611
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:20,720
like diagram and everything game cards sold separately technical specifications

612
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:24,800
all of this good stuff that nintendo has been kind of keeping to themselves for

613
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,839
the most part up until this time actually don't know what luke is

614
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:31,359
learning at the event that he's at right now but uh how excited are you about the

615
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:36,560
switch not at all oh okay well that was quick

616
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:41,520
uh care to clarify why so i really like like so i grew up i had

617
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:45,119
a nintendo the original nintendo i had like the original original one and a

618
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:50,960
super nintendo and i really like them i really love the titles zelda you know super mario bros all that

619
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,640
i really really like that nintendo has screwed the pooch

620
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:58,319
so much with community and like understanding the community and

621
00:42:55,839 --> 00:43:02,000
understanding who their consumer is that i just don't care anymore and it's

622
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:06,240
really sad to say that like i hate to be like that because i you know like the

623
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,880
the nes mini like the nes classic whatever the the new one is that they

624
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:14,640
came out the rest of the emulator and it's probably some version of Linux and whatever uh

625
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:18,319
60 bucks i might buy that but i have a real hard time supporting nintendo just

626
00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:22,240
because of the way like the let's plays and like the aggressive

627
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,119
quote-unquote protection of the ip it's just it's like

628
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:35,920
so i don't know yeah i um i i i share i share your

629
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:40,560
frustration um i really think i i really don't

630
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:43,680
i mean how do how do i put this like i've run into situations a number of

631
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:47,040
times in the past where i've kind of gone you know what i'm sure i'll be fine

632
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:52,800
to do x so we oh okay here's a perfect example

633
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:57,119
so we use a few frames from an from an episode of south park in a video that

634
00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:02,160
will be coming up very soon so i actually purchased a child tracker like

635
00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:06,079
a gps tr child tracker so uh south park did an episode about 15

636
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,520
years ago where all the kids get equipped with this like headgear with

637
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:13,520
satellite dishes and stuff going around because all the parents are concerned

638
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:17,200
they'll get they'll get kidnapped and so every once in a while i will do

639
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:22,240
something like that and i'll kind of go because i i nod to the episode i go you

640
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:26,640
know it's amazing how often south park calls it 15 years ago they did this

641
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:31,520
episode and we use a couple a couple frames from it and here we are all this

642
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:35,920
time ahead and here i am reviewing a child tracker the child tracker 9000 or

643
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:39,760
whatever um so every once in a while i will do something like that where i'll

644
00:44:37,839 --> 00:44:43,599
go they get nothing but benefit from this technically i am on the wrong side

645
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,960
of the law i understand that i i have i have broken their copy right

646
00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:51,520
here but i haven't given away any of the real

647
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,200
meaning of the content it's not like you had the experience of watching the

648
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:58,880
episode from the chunk that i used it illustrated my point incredibly well and

649
00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:02,880
they got nothing but praise and positive encouraging support

650
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,960
for the wonderful program they've been producing for so long out of this few

651
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:12,319
seconds of footage realistically i consider myself protected by

652
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,880
the the human being factor someone

653
00:45:12,319 --> 00:45:19,839
somewhere would have to decide that it is worth the na the bad will that

654
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,400
they're going to generate to sue me over this

655
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:27,119
and i consider that a reasonable protection in a lot of cases

656
00:45:25,839 --> 00:45:32,560
nintendo breaks that that kind of that covenant

657
00:45:30,839 --> 00:45:36,000
constantly constantly where there's nothing in

658
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:40,079
there's nothing in this for me other than being like a nintendo fan or like

659
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:45,839
you know spreading the nintendo gospel and you get nothing but negative

660
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,160
publicity out of going after me for this but they just do it anyway

661
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:55,760
did you see what uh jim sterling what he figured out to combat nintendo it's

662
00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:58,000
amazing no i didn't so he was doing a

663
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:02,960
review of something nintendo and he used some he used a clip that he knew would be

664
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:07,359
flagged by nintendo of america just like one or two seconds and he used another

665
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:11,359
clip that nintendo japan would flag and because both of them have claimed his

666
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,359
video neither one of them get any revenue

667
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:22,880
i haven't seen the video but i actually did hear about that that is fantastic

668
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,160
that's how it's done with the master troll

669
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:33,040
um let's see what else we got here oh this

670
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:38,480
is pretty good microsoft hololens the microsoft admits that sales figures are

671
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:43,200
in the thousands but that's all they need

672
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:47,839
says the headset's commercial leads so the original article here is from the

673
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:51,599
enquirer.net man i remember when that site used to be like the go-to for all

674
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,440
of the dirt you know 5000 doesn't sound like many

675
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:59,599
but if those are developers and like hardcore users that actually could be a

676
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:04,000
big deal i mean assuming that let's say i mean i

677
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:08,960
wouldn't be dropping what is it two thousand pounds or four thousand pounds

678
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:13,200
depending on the dev only version or the enterprise model i wouldn't be dropping

679
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:18,000
that kind of money on it if i wasn't either a developer looking to build an

680
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:21,680
application that i expect others to use or

681
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:25,520
a high-end big business user who's looking to develop something for

682
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:30,720
internal use so there will be applications for it based on those kinds

683
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:38,480
of sales numbers i mean i'm not as um i'm not as what is it bear or bearish

684
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:40,319
bearing bearing a bull on the

685
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:44,640
no bullish is good so i'm bullish i'm not bear bull or bear market

686
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,680
i don't know the opposite of bullish i'm sorry i'm i'm looking like an idiot to

687
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:52,640
twitch chat but i'm sure they already thought that anyway um

688
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,599
all right ooh

689
00:47:53,920 --> 00:48:00,160
this is exciting so the original article here is from endgadget.com let's go

690
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:06,800
ahead pull that up here the first ultra hd blu-ray pc drive ships next month

691
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:09,280
only there's a catch and i'm sure i'm going to get some ranting from you on

692
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:18,319
this you must have a kaby lake processor and

693
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:22,480
Windows 10 to play your uhd 4k HDR

694
00:48:18,319 --> 00:48:25,760
movies off the disk

695
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:29,200
so just like netflix 4k streaming we are

696
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:31,599
looking at hardware drm built into your

697
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:35,760
Intel CPU in order to play back the content what do you think go go away

698
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:41,680
go wendell well so okay before we talk about the drm part of it

699
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:46,000
there is actually a legit technical reason for that and the the legit

700
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:51,200
technical reason is that kb lake has hardware acceleration not found on any

701
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,920
other CPU that will hardware accelerate

702
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:58,240
the decoding of this content because if you've got a low end kb like sku like a

703
00:48:56,559 --> 00:49:02,079
like a portable device an i3 something like that it's not going

704
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:07,119
to perform well it's it's going to get hot and it's going to run the battery down so like if you've got you know a

705
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:11,599
surface pro 4 and well surface pro 5 because kb like

706
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:15,359
if well no yeah if you've got a surface pro 4 with a skylake CPU and you wanted

707
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:18,960
to watch high def content uh the battery's going to be dead in an hour

708
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:23,440
and it's going to be about 80 degrees c um and so okay i could see

709
00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:26,240
i could see some legitimacy in that this is an internal drive

710
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:31,920
and so forth and a quarter inch drive yeah yeah so this is this is a little

711
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:37,839
bit more about drm but how crazy is it that we've gotten to a a a point where

712
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:43,280
the content manufacturers literally don't trust the computer and so like the

713
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,800
CPU and the dvd or the the drive are

714
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,599
going to have this secret private conversation that we're not allowed to

715
00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:51,520
know what it is even though it's our own hardware uh in order to be able to

716
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:55,359
decode the hardware and decode the thing and send it on that just seems a little

717
00:49:53,440 --> 00:50:00,400
you know anti-consumer to me this just seems like the

718
00:49:56,839 --> 00:50:03,280
the this just basically seems like the

719
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:08,960
content companies finally won the battle i mean it's it is no great secret

720
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:13,440
i i think i mean okay this is maybe this is my personal opinion but i think

721
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:18,240
piracy is ultimately what led to Windows being the dominant platform i think that

722
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:22,640
pirated pirated content of all sorts the fact

723
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:28,079
that you had this one box that could play all the music obtain all

724
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:33,520
the music play and obtain all the movies play and and obtain all the games for

725
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:39,040
free where it was like you could justify at a time when a computer wasn't

726
00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:41,280
necessary for your job or anything you

727
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:46,960
wanted to do you could justify this multi thousand dollar expense because it

728
00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:49,440
saved you so much money on all the music and movies and games you weren't gonna

729
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:56,319
buy um i believe very strongly that that's a

730
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:58,480
huge part of why microsoft and Intel had

731
00:50:56,319 --> 00:51:05,520
their success and it looks like they have finally given in and gone okay

732
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:10,720
we're turning our back on on the on the piracy and we're kind of going okay

733
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:12,240
we're going to hardware drm this be utch

734
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:16,880
um so there there you have it then uh that

735
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:23,520
that's pretty much it i imagine at some point

736
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:26,079
someone will find some way to

737
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:30,559
to pull defeat it oh yeah to defeat it but um it looks like this might be a bit

738
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:35,119
more difficult than it has been in the past at the very least well i you know

739
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:39,119
the technical i'm honestly not really worried about how difficult it is

740
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:43,440
technically but the political climate and the whole like

741
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:49,119
you know legal climate of that is really really nuts i mean it's like uh

742
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:52,880
manslaughter uh you broke the copy protection on a movie uh it's kind of

743
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,680
the same things in terms of jail sentence and you know what you might be

744
00:51:54,319 --> 00:51:59,839
facing and stuff like that i mean how crazy is that it's nuts yeah

745
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:05,040
i mean i don't know i don't know if we've got time for it but anecdotally

746
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,640
you know i i'll confess i'm a consumer

747
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:12,640
and i picked up all of the episodes of star trek the next generation on dvd the remastered ones

748
00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:16,720
from 35 millimeter bought them all and i transcoded them uh

749
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:22,640
uh to my media server and i will tell you that

750
00:52:19,359 --> 00:52:24,160
i would not enjoy the content at all if

751
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:28,960
i had not transcoded it to the media server i've got all the content i've got all the special features i got

752
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:33,760
everything but it's like i want to watch season four episode two click and i'm

753
00:52:31,359 --> 00:52:37,520
watching it it is a two second operation if i if i had to deal with the

754
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:40,400
of the disc i would be ready to slip my wrist after two minutes and i still

755
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:44,960
wouldn't be the episode are you a plex guy yeah well i've got

756
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:48,720
plex but i've also been experimenting because plex has done some weird stuff

757
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:51,760
and i'm experimenting with uh my sort of own home cooked web thing but yes i love

758
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:55,760
plex so we're gonna do some videos on plex cody has gotten to the point where

759
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,640
it it will basically run as a full-fledged media server as well and

760
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:02,559
you don't really need the stuff with play you don't need the subscription or the account or anything

761
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:08,000
with plex either that you would need with plex so yeah plex threw a free subscription at me so

762
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:11,280
i'm just using it i didn't make any videos about it or anything but like i

763
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,760
was like okay sometimes flex is is awesome but i don't

764
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:19,440
know five bucks a month it's like i've already

765
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:25,599
yeah i mean i'm just frustrated because this means that all of the content even

766
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:28,960
some of that i've bought at 4k HDR

767
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:30,559
i am not gonna get to enjoy in 4k the

768
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:36,079
good news is that all of those discs came with a regular blu-ray so i will

769
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,280
watch that in the meantime i suppose

770
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:42,480
well i've really really enjoyed the crispiness of star trek the next generation the the remastered stuff they

771
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,520
really did a nice job with that i should watch it i actually haven't

772
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,800
watched star trek the next generation since they were airing new episodes like

773
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:53,839
as a kid sitting on the couch with my dad so that would probably be worthwhile

774
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,839
it's just as magical i mean it's like they really they've done a really nice

775
00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:00,640
and it came from 35 millimeters so they rated the effects but

776
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:05,520
um you know they they haven't it was not like star wars they they kept everything

777
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,960
exactly the way that i haven't watched all of them from beginning to end but i've watched some of my favorite

778
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:14,400
episodes um as i've had time and i've been really really happy with it i'm really happy

779
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:18,400
with the media server do you still spend about 60 percent of the time following

780
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:22,640
the episode and 40 wondering how patrick stewart still looks the same

781
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:26,160
yeah he's kind of ageless you know it's really

782
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:32,559
all right well on that note our admiration our mutual admiration for

783
00:54:30,319 --> 00:54:35,680
patrick stewart gets to be the end of the show i think because i have a

784
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:39,280
