are you ready yeah okay we've been through this before yes you don't get to
wear a nerd Fusion shirt I'm sorry unless Hillary wins the election
right we've been through this before yeah I'm pretty sure we've been through
this on stream before so you guys bore witness to
this we wear nerd Fusion shirts if
Hillary wins and they wear lonus techtip shirts see I am in the uniform you see
how my shirt matches this lower third matches this mug
wait what apparently we have mugs now oh yeah why which I'm totally gonna drink
from yeah which I definitely always
enjoy a hot beverage on the W
shelf I don't only drink ice water we should just now that they know that
randomly throughout the show we have to just be like yes well you
know I just I just I really need coffee
to nail this point home don't even take a break to swallow just like so I think
when that Norway newspaper put that thing in their paper and then challenge
Zuckerberg it was really a pretty intense yeah it was really a a shouting
match that I would that I would have loved to participate coffee drink coffee
too calmly yes in a sedate manner um
what were we talking about I literally don't wait these shirts oh right there
was the bet with uh there was the bet with seus so there's a bet with Matt
seus zigi on who wins the election I said Trump was going to win well it's
it's more not Trump was going to win they should have to wear our shirts for way long I actually don't remember the
exact terms I don't know I might have I might have not gone one toone odds
actually I think I might have demanded like better Vegas odds on it than uh
than just you know one month to one month and like it it is in reality it's
not just a lonus versus seus bet no you
you you got they made it a lonus Media Group versus nerd Fusion as a whole so
the entire companies have to wear each other's shirts depending on who wins
we have to pay for the other company to have enough shirts to wear which is like
actually not insignificant given they we have like eight people so we would have
to buy all of our shirts for them yeah oh wrecked yeah we're not going to
they're so you sort of want to win and also don't yes okay well I yeah well I
don't want to win at all but that's a whole other
conversation um either if you want to win a whole tertiary
conversation all right so we've got a lot lot of great topics for you guys
today like Norway and Facebook crashing over news censorship they are going head
to-head uh there's a new Mario game for iOS uh Sony launched their AMD Polaris
powered PlayStation 4 Pro and VR
adoption among steam users has crashed
to a halt yep to a halt not surprised a
Hal not surprised a halt not surprised a
halt not surprised
should be fine except that I tore down the streaming machine today sort of a
little bit why uh well I I needed to okay okay so I
actually have what I think is a really
cool new segment and I know you guys are
going to give me a bunch of crap about new segments all the time this is I like
this a lot but I have a new segment that
we're calling this is possibly my favorite segment that you've ever
started really this what I am personally most interested in really yeah okay
that's why I was like I really want you to do this okay so the new segment is
called Haunted hardware and basically I I'm always
telling stories especially on W show I'm always telling you guys stories about
like just Bizarro land stuff that I have
witnessed like you know um uh I mean
what oh see okay it's hard to do this it's like it's hard to come up with
something on the spot okay okay okay perfect example that isn't the one that
I use in the video as an example is I had a machine once that would not
install an operating system it would crash on the loading bar for Windows XP
while it was like unpacking files or whatever every single time consistently
100% of the time I swapped the power supply installed Windows just fine I
went okay bad power supply but I don't have a lot of money I'm a student I'm
going to put that other power supply back in and just kind of see if it was a
flip system runs perfectly absolutely perfectly stress test all day no
problems whatsoever I could do anything with it in fact I left the power supply
in there it ran for years after that years okay but I wasn't done yet okay so
I put I I actually I was so curious I
was like okay I'm going to burn another half an hour to an hour of my time
because I want to know if this is reproducible so I put it back in and I
tried to install Windows again same exact Hardware
crashed and I'm just I'm sitting here going how can you have a system that is
100% stable other than that you cannot install Windows on it that's so random but the
problem I would have liked I would have really enjoyed if you tried a different OS I you know what I just like I wasn't
even aware of other os's at this time this is like when I was first getting into computers yeah yeah so anyway the
but the point of that is that that story is just a story and you guys can you
guys could not believe me or you could believe me or you could say gee I wish
you had tried another thing well see but no that's that's why I'm excited for this the series cuz now I'm interested
and I'm engaged I love that kind of stuff so now now oh I'm going to capture
the whole thing on video so I you tell them what it is no no I'm not going to
tell them what it is like that's a big all right oh I'm not going to tell them what it is no absolutely not but stay
tuned for haunted Hardware it's very topical because it's like super topical
very current events related and I document the whole thing I reproduce it
i i i demonstrate like there's a point where I go from scratch with a lot of
the camera rolling the entire time and what I'm thinking is we will upload that
video in its entirety unlisted
separately we'll link it in the description if you don't believe me
here's the proof there you go so uh yeah it should
be should be pretty excited I'm I'm I'm pretty stoked on that topical not
tropical they are very different
I mean I was reading an article about how we've I think we've eliminated a
tenth of the Wilderness in the world in
the last two decades about equivalent to half of the uh land area of Australia
whoa yeah in the last in the last 20 years so uh mostly in the uh Central in
central Africa and in the tropics so that would be a tropical
topic or a topical
Tropic but they are not the the same thing that cocking gun thing just looks
like a really crappy co uh chalk outline
of a gun no's going to know what I'm talking about it does kind of it's in
the workshop I don't know where the cocking gun is oh I know what they're
using it for also I look partially Angelic look at my
hair if you ask your mom you look fully Angelic a thanks Mom yeah you know she
would say it probably yep can't say I always agree you know
sometimes he gets kind of naughty
wow uh okay so moving on to our first
topic of the day big topic Facebook
backs down they back down y'all on
censoring the Napalm girl photo after
public outcry Facebook plans to restore the image and review its processes so if
you weren't following this along Norway's largest newspaper published a
front page open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zer zerber zerber zuberg it's the
like the body snatcher replacement for Mark Zuckerberg uh so they're lambasting
the company's decision to censor an historic photo an historic no it's a
historic or an historic photograph of the Vietnam War calling Zuckerberg to
recognize and live up to his role as the world's most powerful editor which is a
interesting way of stating that and kind of true and it is kind of true I mean if
something doesn't exist on Facebook for a lot of people I know it basically does
not exist at the same time you could argue that Google is even more powerful
that way I don't know you know I haven't looked at it recently it would be
interesting to weigh them yeah because Facebook and Google are both always
publishing statistics of like how many people log in and look at their Facebook
feed like once per day and I think Facebook's numbers are actually scarier
because with Google they don't have quite as many
services that you just like if you go to the google.com homepage they don't have
suggested news stories there somehow still after all these years but like
time you type something into the search bar that's a search that's true that's
true but all you have to do is go to facebook.com and your feed which is um
oh Cur curated by people you know so you
inherently trust it more is also full of advertisements and is full of promoted
stories and stuff like that that's a good point so I would make the argument
that for the passive user not the active
user cuz I personally look at Google a lot more than I look at Facebook Google
and Google services a lot more than Facebook ones but for the passive user
who's just like vegging like sitting at their computer kind of browsing
something probably Facebook is more relative and is more relevant and if
Facebook decides something doesn't exist I think for a lot of people they
just basically would never see it where are they going to see it my Facebook is open a lot because I use it for like I
have this group where like some friends from high school and I just all share
music so I like play music through there almost constantly but I don't like go
through my feed but I think you're probably right a huge portion of people
would spend more overall time there um
so anyway I could elaborate on the story but I realized I never posted on
Facebook since we're talking about this tune into the WAN Show yeah I can't I
can't have it waterfall anymore uh from Twitter to Facebook cuz it just
completely buries everything we post that way hate that which is pretty
annoying because all basically all they're doing is wasting my time they're
making me copy paste things inste I kind of want to like create our own little
bot that will just like it's probably against terms of
service yeah God damn
it like probably definitely is but that would be so nice because if you created
your own bot it wouldn't know CU it wouldn't be push uh it wouldn't be going
through the API Services you could just have it literally like copy and pasted
in to make it like a normal paste all right so going back into what happened
the writer of the story was suspended from posting on Facebook for 24 hours he
posted a historic Vietnam War image of a naked girl fleeing from her Napal bombed
Vi Village they then published a story discussing and criticizing the deletion
of the image and that post was also removed while containing the same image
okay the notice from Facebook explains that any images with nudity in them will
be removed so Espen Hansen
editor-in-chief and CEO of Afton Poston I probably butchered that but I'm sorry
accused Zuckerberg of abusing his power and then after that the prime minister
of Norway decided to speak out about the situation she did this on Facebook but
several of her posts on the topic were also deleted which is getting pretty
ridiculous at that point to be fair this is probably just a bot going
crazy I seriously doubt this is someone like manually intervention be like no
screw you Norway like I don't know it's all Al a matter of and we have so there
is an anonymous anonymous Facebook spokesperson who responded saying while
we recognize that the photo is Iconic it's difficult to create a distinction
between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance just going to say
and not others above it said girl yes
and if this was an underage girl yes it is so we try to find the right balance
between enabling people to express themselves while maintaining a safe and respectful experience for our Global
Community our Solutions won't always be perfect but we'll continue to try to improve our policy and they have back
down and allowed the posting of this particular image which is interesting
which is interesting but I also completely get where they're coming from
that's what I'm saying we discussed this on W show last week without you but uh
YouTube Google rude well you weren't there you did anything without me yes I
did something without you I will make it up to you tonight so um so basically
Google has cracked down on the not the posting of so this was why I publicly
and strong L disagreed with some YouTuber statements that this is
censorship which it is not if you can say whatever you want that is not
censorship when someone refuses to pay you for saying whatever you want that's
not censorship that's uh a completely different thing and and yeah cuz they're
not taking people's videos down no or closing people's channels that's
something I was getting really annoyed cuz there's so many videos that are like my channel is being closed I'm like no
it's not you would be closing your channel yes they're just taking the
anyway this ISR which a whole issue and it's and it's just a cold hard reality
for if you're taking money from sponsors that you're going to have to behave in a
way that sponsors approve of and it was going to happen eventually um but it's I
want to one quick second on that I did someone posted a thing we can move to
this after I was just going to kind of close this sure but basically what I
didn't agree with was the way Google's doing it where they take this
heavy-handed ban everything approach and then probably what they will do is will
they will chip away like like kind it's kind of like they take like a big like a
big brick of marble and they just kind of go okay so we're just like
everything's covered and then they're just going to slowly chip away at the stuff that it turns out is actually okay
until they end up with a statue of the devil stuff that no sponsor wants their
wants their advertisements anywhere near um and and Facebook is doing it in much
the same way but the reality of it is is do they really have a choice can
Facebook manually go through and decide
on every picture of a naked kid that's okay when they first Implement a policy
and so I I actually like I kind of agree
with everything that happened here except Facebook removing the posts complaining about the
removal unless they also contain the pictur one I I'm wondering about the the
the uh what was her was it prime minister I don't want to get the the
position wrong uh yeah so it was uh nna
Solberg prime minister of Norway I'm wondering what the details of those
posts if it's just text complaining about the removal that's crazy that that
was removed but if it was like I can't believe this was removed this is fine
then I would be like okay I understand that anyways what I was going to say was
someone was talking about how maybe a good solution for the uh monetization
dropping that's going on YouTube yep would be different pools so Google could
have like advertisers that allow their ads to go on more like crazy video or
like traditionally not Advertiser friendly videos and like companies that
want to have their ads on these crazy videos can get cheaper ad buys and maybe
you get put in a lower monetization Group which is only open to those
things did you you you said that okay
all right I didn't watch the show I don't know it makes sense yeah it does
make sense everyone's like let him keep going no don't tell them don't tell them
no you started smiling weird and I was like I don't know what's happening and
lonus never talks to Twitch chat that's what so I didn't know if you were trying
to write to me or not because you don't normally type to Twitch chat I don't
know um no I agree I agree completely I think that's how they should do it and I
think that's how they will do it if anyone from Google watches the W show
which I'm not convinced that they do but hey if it managed to make it off Wan
show and back to you cuz I'm pretty sure you didn't watch The W show You' have
known that I was the one who said that I mean someone else has probably come up with the idea independently as well I'm
sure it's already the plan it's just a matter of it being difficult and
complicated and they would have to I mean this is something a lot of people
don't know a typical sponsor if you're
lucky is negotiating their ad buys on a quarterly basis some of them will do it
on like a yearly basis like we'll talk to a sponsor in like June and we'll be
like hey so we'd love to work together we've got this cool idea for Q4 they'll
be like yep all of our ad buys are pre-allocated at the beginning of the year and I'm kind of sitting here going
and I hope none of our sponsors are watching this because especially those ones but what do you even do all
day like seriously like what is your actual job if at one point at the
beginning of the year you basically take all of the brain power out of deciding
how to spend the advertising dollars that you have for the year probably
manage those contracts to be understand though too that a lot of
the time bigger Brands they they they sub contract this through agencies right
well as far as I've been able to tell cuz I talked to someone about this I'm
not going to say names or anything cuz i' I've asked people like why the hell do you actually do this cuz I hate
dealing with sorry Danny middleman I hate dealing with the middlemen because
you always end up just having pass through conversations yep and they're
like okay we're confused because they told us one thing and now there's stuff
going on and then like everyone has to kind of figure it out and you're just adding more steps to the process we had
a deal fall through recently where we got on a call with the agency and the
brand and it turned out that our so okay
so so there were actually four layers here so there was us our MCN there was
the brand agency and there was the brand four layers so our MCN did a great job
the brand had a clear idea of what they wanted and honestly those things were
pretty well aligned the agency basically passed along no information the call was
a complete cluster hump and we found out shortly after the call it's like the
guys last week there anyway so the Deal
completely fell through so carry on but this stuff is and I don't want to deal
with it anyway so I asked someone who was at one of the companies not one of
the pr companies but one of the like companies that would hire the pr companies who was a PR person we call
them a the brand right the brand there we go brand versus like agency okay so I
talked to a PR person from the brand and as them why they don't do it and it's a
shield yeah if their PR effort fails yes
they can just be like their fault meet Shield not Brand's fault yep byebye and
again this is going back to my personal theories it is a personal Shield as
well what do you mean like if I worked
at IBM let's that's what for for for
everyone at the brand throughout the whole chain the brand itself and the people working at the brand it's it's
all a shield it's a meat Shield yeah so all they have to say is okay well next
year we will reallocate that entire chunk somewhere else that's we're going
to reallocate it into social so basically someone gets paid an
actual salary for an actual entire year to make a decision at the beginning of
the year at one point in time to go okay
we are going to allocate uh we are going to listen to some proposals and we are
going to allocate budget here here here and here and then if it works then I
will be submitting a great report about how well it worked and if it doesn't
work I'm going to submit a report about how I fired those
people oh man corporations man become a
PR person yeah but you got to work your way
up the food chain you got to get to the Brin yeah so first you'll be first
you'll be like the meat deal with yeah you got to deal with being a meat Shield
have to survive as a meat shield first yeah it's basically like
Warfare but with words yes so in much
the same way you can either survive as a meat shield and get promoted or you can
just be born into it because like nepotism or whatever yeah yeah you have
to defend against the internet's flamethrowers of compassion all right so
uh moving on to our next topic
uh oh yes Sony launches an AMD Polaris
powered PlayStation 4 Pro so our original article here is from wccf Tech
it's probably fine because this is like there's actually like a press release
here are some specs like it's not speculation speculation wow I can't
believe I've never made that joke before oh wow yeah um so basically there's a
single chip custom processor featuring eight Jaguar cores though we do know
that they are clocked higher so they're faster Jaguar cores but
um okay we have a 1.84 teraflop AMD
radon based Graphics engine so we know that this is not quite double the
theoretical performance of what was already in the PlayStation 4 it's
available with a 500 gig or a 1 tbte drive it's got 8 gigs of gddr5 memory um
it has a Blu-ray Drive an Ethernet port
10 gig land no I'm just kidding just gigabit uh it's approximately 2.1
kilograms starts at $400 US starts at
$400 wait when is this for wait this is
the new slim standard model gosh darn it this is the new this is
the it's still eight gigs of gddr5 because that much is in the notes
dang it where is the pro one a NCH had a
good article on it I was looking at that uh okay so the pro one Higher clock
speeds it is still 8 gigs of RAM that is said to run at higher Clocks 2 and is
bolstered by new lossless memory compression technology from AMD uh the
GPU component features over double the shading power of the PlayStation 4 and is based on the players okay so
basically I got everything right the pro starts at 3.99 okay we got everything
right even though we were looking at an article that I don't actually think was about it so go lus and Luke so okay Y in
a nutshell what Sony is trying to do is they are trying to make their console
all about 4K and they're
still approaching it from sort of a um
um a lackluster sort
of angle yeah it's not grammatically
correct but let's go with it lackluster angle so they're still approaching it in
a way that is quite frankly just not going to work because as the college
educated among you may know 4K is four
times the pixel count of 1080p so right off the Hop if we're
running games at anything less than 60 FPS
native 1080p on the PlayStation 4 which we most assuredly are we will need four
times the theoretical performance it doesn't quite work like that but but we
will need more than two times the theoretical
performance of the original PlayStation 4 in order to game it 4K smoothly at the
same frame rates yeah because there's like a lot of other variables but
there's a lot more to it than that um
shaders are not the same as like you know your overall pixel fill rate is not
the same as how your memory band with effect all of that like you you could
you could double the functional units in the GPU but if you didn't increase the
memory bandwidth at all then you you wouldn't get doubling and theoretical
doubling does not equal practical real world doubling so there's a lot of
things unless you had memory bandwidth that was already capable of the doubling
even if you fully like double doubled without making any kind of architectural
change I don't know that you would get double the performance we could test it
though like we could we could go find a GPU that has exactly half of the cacor
of the higher end one and see how it works out we might have other we might
have to overclock and underclock but there'd probably be like memory bandwidth changes and stuff yeah I okay
I don't know if it would be possible well let me tell you what we'll call up NVIDIA or AMD we'll be like hey can you
send us a custom GPU can you like seal off half of
the are you there
still um anyway so uh it's going to be
the war again last time there was a PlayStation and Xbox launch and there is
coming up there will be a Playstation Xbox launch there was all the image
comparisons every single Tech YouTuber including us and probably this will
happen again is going to create um
computers that are like the same price or cheaper and better or the same
performance and then everyone's going to be like but as computer parts keep
coming out and these consoles are going to stay here for a little while in the future we'll have even better ones and
then with the next GPU launch there will be even more videos of people going like
oh man look you can even make faster computers for the same price as the
consoles but then the consoles are going to go down in price and the yeah war is
going to come do you want to redo 792p versus six-year-old graphics card I can
that' be pretty funny yeah yeah that one's got almost a million views 926
th000 I kind of enjoyed that video it's uh there's again um like I just said for
your like doubling thing there's some problems with it but it was a fun video
that's true so I don't know I'm kind of excited for the war again just because I
like I like what it brings in terms of
like people actually building lowcost computers yeah and I get a kick out of
uh I get a kick out of how much more and more PC like the consoles continue to
become it's like now all of a sudden you can get PlayStations with different
specs yes my friends PlayStation 4s with
different Core specs and when you run
games in your better Playstation 4 versus your peasant PlayStation 4 we're
going to we're going to have like a whole new level there's going to be like there's going to be like like the the
pcmr guys are going to be like there's like console peasants and then there's
like console like vassals or something there's going to be like
rankings and it's all going to be dramatic and it's going to be all over
the YouTube comments and I'm going to sit back and I'm going to laugh um but
but in a nutshell okay Tony needed to do this for a couple of reasons number one
is it's all about for even Sony it's like you know the TV division's kind of
sitting there going like how are you guys not helping us out here okay we're
trying to sell some 4K TVs here right so they had to have 4K support whether it's
for Blu-ray or whether it is for gaming
4K support had to come so they had to do something more powerful because the
original PlayStation 4 was going to run games at like 12 frames per second twice
a cinematic is 24 frames per second um
also PlayStation VR there was speculation that was going to use some
rendering tricks some frame interpolation tricks they were going to
figure out how to get psvr running on the original PlayStation 4 and have it
be a good experience we were skeptical looks like they didn't PlayStation 4 Pro
or is that what they're calling it PlayStation 4 Pro yeah PS4 Pro is going
to be the way to experience psvr if you care it all about a good experience what
how does it make you professional
if you were a Pro Gamer you probably wouldn't game on a like peasant station
4 yeah if you're a Pro Gamer you I bet they're going to call it peasant station
4 someone will call it peasant station 4 a PlayStation 4 Pro owner is going to
start that you might have just started that yourself I'm not sure yeah people
going to start having pictures of the original PlayStation 4 or peasant
station 4 and have like fake dirt on it yeah oh man feel like it's the peasant
station 4 oh my this this is going to be
confusing actually one of the really good things about consoles for a long
time was the like easy gifting idea Plug
and Play the mom could just go to the store and be like my son wants the Xbox
and then or the PlayStation yeah they'd be like here's the newest one here is
one game the only game that matters right now y your son will or daughter
will have to wait two years for more interesting more games yeah and that's
and it was fine and now it's going to be
and we liked it that way do you want the 500 gig model do you
want the 1 TB model do you want the pro model do you want the non is your son
not a professional is your daughter going to going to grow up to pump gas
all her life I mean that's okay but you're not
going to want the professional you're going to want this one and part of the
problem is that this might actually introduce like competitive advantages
pleb station 4 is another name for that okay yeah that'll probably be used okay
uh you should maybe straw pull a few names that you see in there and see who
poop station poop station sounds like a different thing it does it just
literally sounds like a toilet yeah um
apparently does not support 4K Blu-ray I did not know that I'd imagine that'll
come with a firm update there's no way that it doesn't support 4K Blu-ray at
some point that's ridiculous uh anyways what I was going
to say was it might actually introduce a competitive Advantage because if you're
getting significantly more frame rate like maybe maybe in older games that
aren't meant to run or aren't designed to run at higher resolution they might
run faster I was wrong I did not follow
the PlayStation 4 Pro news because I don't care um but no the absence of a 4K
Blu-ray player is due to a lack of consumer demand according to PlayStation
boss Andrew House support cannot be patched in Via firmware update at a
later date either he
confirmed okay oh yeah lack of consumer demand the
very first question on amazon.com when
you scroll down on the pre-order page with over two times the we can switch to
my screen if you'd like um with over two times the upvotes of any other question
only at 42 but this is the your uh it's covered up by the I'll scroll it's okay
I got it might want to give it the old
ah fancy uh oh I'm going to do this it's
only 42 votes as you can see there but it's like it's still up there and this
is the pre-order page on Amazon way before you can buy it so I'm not
suspecting that much and there's 206 answers which is insane compared to like
the one or six or zero answers on the other questions I like the top answer
and one of the most mindboggling decisions in console history
no it cannot play Ultra HD
Blu-rays so yeah lack of consumer demand
may be an inaccurate statement what I'm going to say it may not also be complet
completely like okay I
personally own a movie watching setup
that has a 65 in TV literally a meter from my
face okay I am about as Target a market
as 4K Blu-ray could possibly have I
could not possibly care less really I I
do like honestly I'll tell I have bought DVDs like even recently like before I
got that set up and now I'm really disappointed I own DVDs but streaming 4K
does not look better than 1080p Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray looks great even at
that 4K Blu Ray cuz streaming 4K is not
the same oh no it's not it's not the same on like a few levels which is which
is a whole a whole other way to attack Sony's argument for going pretty blunt
here and say that I don't think you can comment if you haven't
okay okay fine so I'll tell you what I will obtain a 4K Blu-ray at some point
and we will revisit this conversation that could be a cool video
isth it actually that's probably a pretty good video I should probably do that you should probably and I'll be
like for you no it's a meter from your
face hell yeah um okay but like
what was I going to say I think that consumer demand would be more existent
if this thing did support it yeah because I don't think that many people
are going to want to go buy a player for 4K Blu-ray but if their PlayStation
already supported it and they go buy a couple discs maybe especially if they
were cheap like especially by the time and maybe that's part of the problem
maybe they don't feel like supporting it because they're not going to get $29.99
for a Blu-ray disc anymore uh so maybe the royalties just aren't even like I I
don't know what the rationale internally at Sony is exactly but basically they've
decided it's not worth it yeah um but
like personally especially for like five bucks like in the $7 bin Maybe not
tomorrow cuz 4K Blu-ray is going to be expensive for a bit but in the $7 bin in
a few years I would rather own it than stream it in a lot of cases yep me too I
don't buy everything a lot of stuff I stream certain content though especially
like I'm buying House of Cards even though I have a 4K Netflix
subcription hackers uh uh Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings secret life of Walter midi The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus
these are all things that I'd like to have on yep on a physical media that I
own yep I mean I don't keep them on physical media because I made that video
yeah cuz it's stupid I agree with that but the idea is that you you have it cuz
Netflix is really volatile without web compression y I have it forever y
because I paid for it and these streaming services are volatile I don't think Netflix is going to go away that's
not what I mean by volatile but the content that's on there can change and
does CH yeah and it's designed that way like it's supposed to be like that
they're not going to license everything cuz that costs money and I love it and it's fine and people who watch Netflix
are going to like watch Netflix regularly they want to be refreshing it so that's fine yeah it also creates that
urgency like when you see something like it's very smart actually um what was I
oh right I was going to add this to the um so is 4K Blu-ray worth it no but I
like it so there that's already the whole video all
6,782 of you can save yourselves the
effort but for everyone else hopefully that'll be video I still I still kind of
want like it's totally not worth it it goes completely against the algorithm
stuff that YouTube is trying to use right now but I would still love to make
that channel that we talked about back at the old office was it I don't know if
you remember this but um I talked about it with a OnePlus review I think it was
the OnePlus One that I was talking about it for where I would be like it's just
like super short tech reviews so like 30
second revieww so yeah like terrible
company good phone problems with software stuff look it up
on the forums but it's cheap but it's cheap see you next
time and like you could review graphics cards like that cuz you could just take
a price performance graph be like it's Lots here see you next
time I hate you what seriously
though so many things could be done that way everyone's suggesting we do Tech
quickie reviews Techquickie review Techquickie could start doing product
reviews we even have a place to put it potentially that's oh it's so short
though it's shorter than Tech quickies cuz Tech quickies aren't really like the
fastest possible well they used to be fast as possible now they're like as as
much history and context as possible yeah yeah they're not that short no yeah
I don't know twitch chat's freaking out they wanted on they want it on Tech Wiki
it's so short cuz these would be like patent it 30
second these would be like 30 second videos yeah I don't know we need to
trademark the the name react react oh Lord maybe we could
trademark the name 30 second videos and
then if anyone makes a video that's 30 seconds long we can just crush them
bow um turbotech that's not a bad name
for turbo tech h
whoa slow down there turbo I I don't know twitch chat's like
flipping out they love this I'm just I'm just soaking in the twitch chat
experience right now but yeah do you remember that conversation we talked about it with the OnePlus I I actually
do vaguely remember it but I had completely forgotten I had like a script
for the OnePlus One done at that point in time I I I don't remember where it
ended up going but um it was like you
can do it for so many things
oh man any modern
motherboard here's all the ports it has enjoy yeah by the way if you want to put
your old CPU on it get crapped off yeah
CPUs more Co they're slightly faster it
consumes less power enjoy you could just and then like you
could just copy paste videos so like
don't don't say the product name in the video and then if
like if the content of the review would be the same you just put a different
title on it and re-upload it so like every CPU Cooler that comes
out have this heat pipes check aluminum
fins check flat bottom surface check comes with a fan check performance
pretty good and then okay that that could be
the difference for every video there just be performance pretty good and
there's a graph while you say performance pretty good and it just slots it wherever it goes which is going
to be like exactly where the ones in the same form factor go and then you're
done not the worst idea I've ever heard I mean it okay we're going to get it's
so far away from like Advertiser friendly and it's completely the
opposite of what YouTube wants yeah we're going to get killed on watch time
oh destroyed I think we're going to get killed on like comments cuz like we're
going to have to like that's the thing is we're going to have to get down and
dirty with like fan Bo arguments like if
we're going to try and summarize an AMD or an NVIDIA graphics card we're going
to have to be like runs hot is loud
worst drivers I love that you didn't say what
brand there no that's because it switches Generation by generation it
does but no but Okay the reason why I said that is cu the the copy paste video
thing that I was talking about CU you could just use that for like a bunch of
different
cards I like it way too much I just it it does have a it has a lot of
problems and the thing is people don't even want that people want words yep
even if they're pretty close to unnecessary they want words and
sometimes the words are about pacing and they're about absorbing what you're
looking at and adding impact to a certain part of the video or like
specifically what you're saying or whatever else like I have intentionally
over the years on lineus Tech tips and on Techquickie increase the length of
the videos to add more depth and more analysis and more we used to do history
I had a benchmark for text length for
videos before yep and I think I got it from you and it was a page and a half
including your intro and all the extra stuff that's on our script templates and
now that's way too short yep it has to
be two pages if not more and the audience expects they expect like a
seven to eight minute video and they expect us to say something meaningful in
that time so maybe this would just be a way to let off steam yeah like this
thing sucks it costs too much don't buy
it that would be awesome this can transition us into our
next topic yeah what's our next topic oh let's do our ad spots oh perfect Dollar
Shave Club let's see if I can hold this note
until I bring up my talking points it doesn't cost too much it's pretty
awesome you don't have to go to the store they're delivered to your house
the quality of the product is good they have more than just razors and if you
sign up now you will get the executive blade on promo for a bit until maybe the
promo is gone crap um you can get in the US Australia you get a free month of the
executive razor us Australia you just said that but I have to say Canada
because it's like the most important one so we can't say the other ones twice and not Canada okay um and uh
dollarshaveclub.com Linus now I think we actually do
guarantee our sponsors a certain amount of air time and I'm pretty sure that
wasn't it but wipes for men but we usually go over it so like does it work
that way can you can you like can yeah can you bank it like could we just do
from now on because we usually do like double or triple because we just go off
on these tangents during our sponsor this one exactly like this one okay so
maybe this will be the last one the last tangental sponsor read so could we just
kind of go okay Dollar Shave you guys are going to pay us the same rate that
you've always paid us but from now on we're just going to like flash it up
there for for a second we're going to be like Dollar Shave Club you guys know the drill boom back to the
show would they just stop writing checks probably is that is that how that would
work I think so yeah I think so too all right speaking of not writing checks to
Linus Tech tips anymore Squarespace still writes checks so they've got 247
support via live chat and email it's only eight bucks a month and you get a free domain if you buy it for a year all
their templates feature responsive design meaning they look great on any
device they come with Commerce they come with a bunch of other Cool Tools including their logo designer as well as
the uh build a onepage website because you want to be that
guy I don't approve of those websites but with Squarespace you can build them
and you can build them beautiful yes you
can see that's still loud because we didn't say it as a slogan yeah we said
build them beautiful your websites yep not Squarespace yep we did it your
websites with Squarespace you could
build they will be and you could have so many websites because each of them only
cost $8 month you should have so many websites you should have so many
websites that holding domains and using
the domains can be beneficial I mean it's a simple powerful beautiful concept
really y I love this this is making me happy I
was so crushed when they said we shouldn't do their slogans anymore yeah
but we just don't care I mean and then their new slogan is set your website apart that's not bad no that's pretty
good no but we're not supposed to say it we're not supposed to say it I thought
we're not supposed to say any slogans anymore I don't know I hate Nick
I don't hate Nick well I hate him telling me that I can't do my sponsor
reads the way I want to do them okay well that's actually I don't hate him
it's more amusing than anything else cuz I'm just going to ignore him anyway oh
there's really nothing to hate about it other than like just but then didn't you
told me he came on the show and then just screwed around during the sponsor spots anyway he did so he's a hypocrite
yeah that's right he's a hypocrite I think I heard the door open up there and he was going to come down and yell at us
but he heard us talking about he he knows we're on to him he knows we know
he's a hypocrite and that oh I didn't go back to my Squarespace lower third yeah this is
technically still the Squarespace Monster spot so
uh Squarespace Squarespace build your
website make it look awesome use Squarespace and use offer code when to
save 10% so you don't pay more than you have to you know if we got the right
sponsors on that channel it could be great because if they were sponsors
based on like Saving Time like honestly fresh books could
work fresh books dollar sh CL cuz if if the sponsor spot for squar
space I think Squarespace would be on Squarespace is all about don't dick
around like you know doing all of this crap manually here it is here's a
template slap some pictures in put in your text it looks great yeah get about
your the rest of your day you could go like Yep this air cooler is just the
same as all other air coolers in its form factor it looks like this it costs
this much it fits here on a performance graph which is exactly where you expect
it you can buy it at Amazon you can buy it at Amazon and by the way if you hate
wasting time which is why you watch these videos chug Dollar Shave Club they
deliver Shavers to your door
goodbye cooler review right there full video full video okay there is some
editing time 10 minutes there is some work that has to go into the video
though yeah CU like we have to actually Benchmark it you need performance graphs
yes we need to validate that the if we're going to say it doesn't matter we
have to actually make sure it doesn't matter definitely and you could put the performance grafts there someone could
make a magic heat sink although if not to was to be believed it's much more
difficult than you would think did you ever watch my video from the noct a booth I did actually oh okay well for
those of you who didn't so I'm not going to talk to you anymore and I talked to
them right okay so my video from the noct booth was really cool because
basically it was an explanation for why Noctua appears to have been completely
sitting on their ass for the last 3 years they haven't released the successor to the NHD 15 which took
forever after the NHD 14 and was just bigger anyway they haven't released a
successor to it in years and the answer
is that they were like well we tried all these things and and
they showed a lot of stuff they tried a lot of things and they tried a lot of
stuff that other companies have released products claiming that it's like way
better but actually when you actually put it on a CPU it doesn't make a difference and it's like oh I can't
figure out why why you're not seeing a difference in our lab we see a difference oh don't come into our lab um
nox was just like yeah we tried all that crap it doesn't work sorry or they'd be
like an astronomical amount more money to make and made like2 of a difference
yeah they made an all copper one for example they're like yeah yeah copper is
more conductive that's
cool yeah that was really interesting actually it's like super balls heavy and
super duper balls expensive it's like why don't we just make about of silver
at that point I mean do you want a $900
heat sink gold cuz we could make it for
you would probably be terrible it would droop oh yeah ter gold would be awful
and it's as conductive as silver anyway yeah I've heard about that yep um okay
all right let's stop beating around the bush Apple's iPhone 7 wait wait wait
wait I got it hold up iPhone 7 really expensive no headphone jack you can use
an adapter it's $40 and really big
thanks for watching this video was sponsored by Dollar Shave Club if you hate wasting time check out their razors
they ship directly to your door also Squarespace lets you build a website that's beautiful in like a very short
period of time for only crap I'm bad at this I am just inherently a verbose
person I think that's why I needed a podcast that was like an hour long I can
headliner the out of this channel man all right so let's screen share with
me the verg's article The 11 most important thing from Apple's iPhone 7
event you didn't even get all 11 of them you suck all of mind you I think they
have the Apple Watch 2 as one of the most important things so I really don't
think that uh I'm going to agree with Y yeah no no sorry Verge we're done we're
done here ni um although so what I don't
know yet I can't believe they showed off a Pokémon go app for the Apple watch
that took up like a significant amount of time um in the keynote um what I
don't know about the Apple watch is whether the screen is always on I
haven't actually seen that in anyone's summary and I haven't finished watching
the event yet I haven't watched that part uh so maybe twitch chat can let me
know supposedly it is twice as bright which is wonderful but I never asked for
that what I asked for was to be able to tell the freaking time was the
problem at all no it wasn't the problem was that it isn't on and a lot of people
have criticized me over this they've been look lest you don't get it my Apple
watch lasts all day I'm like good for
you not the point not the point I want
to be able to tell what time it is when I'm sitting having an awkward
conversation and I'm trying to figure out when I need to dismiss myself from
this so that I can be somewhere on time and that doesn't work when I have to go
like
this I mean that should be like a dance do the watch do the watch do this specific
gesture if you want to know the time do the watch do the
watch that's going to be gift to hell oh I know right um there's nothing we can
do about that okay what if we do them as supplementary
reviews so for every take this conversation offline let's Okay Apple
iPhone 7 same display as the 6s they say
it's 25% brighter cool same resolution
which I don't personally care about I'd just as soon save the battery life and
have a lower resolution display as long as I can't tell that it's lower
resolution which quite frankly I cannot the home button now has no physical
click this is a big one for me this is something that if the phone didn't have
other crippling problems with it could convince me that an iPhone is a more
worthwhile purchase now than it was yesterday uh
because the physical click is breakable because it's breakable and because it
does break because it breaks frequently if it didn't really break then it would
be fine but I've heard so many people that have to replace buttons including you right Y and there are other issues
like for a while Apple wasn't allowing people to retain Touch ID if they were
place the button themselves which is ridiculous I think they've addressed
that now but the point is now it's haptic feedback so it feels like a click
but it's not and if it works anywhere near as well as the MacBook 2015 it'll
be awesome and I will love it okay yeah
their haptic feedback engine is like very good very good okay it's water
resistant they're calling it out as IP67 and they have been scandals so the S7
active um you know was found with I
think it was two samples the consumer reports or something like Anyway was
found to not necessarily be all that water resistant uh if Apple's claiming
it I what I will say is it's probably pretty darn good and I talked about this
and this is going to be really embarrassing because I did a review of
the odsy sign um headphones a lightning headphone and
it got bumped because of packs so the
release to YouTube is is a twoe window instead of a onee window and I speculate
about the new iPhone 7 if that's what they're going to call it and then I
speculate that if the objective was to
increase water resistance like if they're going to give me some meaningful
benefit out of taking away my headphone jack then that will probably be it
because I could see apple now they've eliminated the home button which is very
difficult to Ingress protect they have eliminated the headphone jack which is
difficult to Ingress protect so if the objective here was not only to you know
make the phone slightly Slimmer which I don't care about but if it was to give
me a meaningful upgrade in some other way I would be a lot more receptive to
it and it looks like that is indeed what they did although that video will still be kind of
embarrassing so Apple's Ear Pod will now collect collect connect through the
lightning connector Port there are no headphone there is no headphone jack on
the thing that I wanted to add about your ingress protection thing this phone
is I don't remember what it is IP67 if i7 I don't believe that I've taken it
out of spec um it has problems there you
go that are very probably because of water on the other hand the Galaxy S7
has been the best performing water resistant device that I've yet seen
surviving I think we went 20 ft down that's int before it died or 20 or 30t
down in salt water before it managed to die so this audio jack basically
horrible Yeah so basically the point is there's a lot of variability and if
Apple has been quietly working on improving the water resistance of their
devices over time which we know yeah and they're basic they've basically
determined okay well for us to put IP67 on something we need to eliminate these
ports and they were just kind of waiting for the right moment to do it because
it's not like water resistant competitors haven't been out for quite a while now maybe they kind of went okay
you know you have to be what is it you have to have the courage to move forward
or with a thing that no something like that but okay my counter argument to
that a little bit I said I was going to Devil's Advocate you but not yet um why
don't just have two go dually USB type
C's yeah I mean that's an interesting you can have one that like this one
charges faster by the way or something you can plug it into either but like
this one will charge your phone faster apple is I mean I think they're
philosophically opposed to that like they've never put yeah they've never put
an extra port on anything if they didn't have to I mean they even have a laptop
computer that only has one port and a headphone jack though oh
wck oh man I mean are we going to see Apple's laptop like have they been
waiting to refresh their laptops so they can put lightning connectors on them
like interesting there's a thought um so
I mean the summary is and I actually do a better job of this in my odsy sign
review and I'll talk about it some more when I review the iPhone 7 which I undoubtedly will um but the summary is
it's a mixed bag you get a little bit of extra space inside the device that you
can use for whatever it is that you determine you need to use it for you
lose compatibility with 99.999% of headphones on the planet uh
without a goofy adapter that people will undoubtedly lose like I was actually
um uh so I have another device here in the studio the uh Droid Z force uh from
Lenovo the Moto Droid Z force from like
yeah Lenovo acquired them I think they're branding at Lenovo anyway the point is it only has a USB type-c
connector it does not have a headphone jack and I've used the adapter and it
cleverly they include this little rubber thing so that you can stick it to your
headphones so it doesn't like come off and get lost um I think people are
ultimately going to be salty about it I'm salty like eight of those cables I
would prefer to just be able to plug in natively um I don't personally find that
upgraded amps and DXs make a huge difference for me with the kind of
source material that I use and that quite if we're all being honest with
ourselves none of you use either um so I
never wanted this but at the end of the
day oh I think it's this
cable um did that change your mic did
you fully unplug it oh maybe it's worth checking oh for crying out loud but at
the end of the day people are going to accept it no it's still fine and uh yeah
I think we're all going to move on I mean apple is pushing their wireless ear
pods airpods is that what they're calling them they look so ridiculous yeah they have new uh they have new uh
wireless Beats the problem for me is that this introduces yet
another charge thing in my life that I have to charge every day
that's the very first thing I thought of when I saw that was like wow I don't
want to charge my headphones Now Intel showed off a couple of years ago at CES
they showed off a wireless charging Bowl the concept for which is awesome okay
that I would be okay with wireless crap
if all I had to do at the end of the day go to bed is like shed your watch drop
your earphones in drop your phone in I get up in the morning and everything is
wirelessly charged it slow charges so my battery doesn't heat up and I work like
it awes and it's amazing that would be
great and maybe that's the future we're heading towards and maybe you have to
take these steps in order to get enough Mass Appeal for these wireless devices
that you can get the economies of scale that are associated with shrinking the
batteries and shrinking the electronics and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
maybe we're heading towards that but it is a very frustrating stepping stone and
I personally would still use my iPhone 6s although I'm saying this without
having used the seven they say the camera is amazing I probably will still
use my iPhone 6s if I need to use an iOS device there that's my two cents I'm not
going to buy a full gamut of new
headphone things cuz I use full headphones and earbuds with my phone so
okay that's not going to happen but I want I
wanted again I'm going to need a million of them and like they're probably not
cheap uh I don't remember how much they cost but I'm sure we will see cheaper
ones after the fact someone was say someone said 40 bucks in the twitch chat
but I don't think that's right I've I think 40 bucks wasn't that for the Balon
USBC to dual USBC that I'm not sure have
you seen that so Belin has an adapter already or not USBC derp lightning um
that just splits it but it's like on a short little cable and then it's a huge
box so that you'd be able to plug in a headphone a microphone thing there you
go oh Lordy but it also doesn't break to 3.5
and that's $40 yeah and that well that's to address the other issue I mean I
haven't even talked about that now you can't charge your phone and use headphones at the same time unless
you're using wireless headphones that's a big problem for me which is a huge
problem for any mobile gamer I mean Apple's
keynote blah blah blah we are the biggest Mobile gaming platform blah blah
blah blah you can only game for a few hours on an iPhone before it runs out of
battery ha good luck listening to your headphones so you don't have have to be
that jerk on the bus that's got Clash of Clans well I said freaking by
the way that sort of slipped out kind of funny I don't swear on this show kids at
home don't repeat what you heard here um
I mean you know Clash of Clans on the bus making everyone around you mad yeah
like that's super ridiculous and like obviously you can just mute it or
whatever but that's lame yeah that's stupid why would you degrade The
Experience no a new device should never degrade the experience what I'm
expecting is that I kind of think someone's going to come out with a a
case that has extra ports built in I'm
not kidding so you're just going to have to buy a bigger phone essentially our
new device is magical it's revolutionary it's three times as big with all the
stupid adapters that you have bolted onto it but like having it slim Lin in a
case as Slim as it can get um and just making your phone taller essentially is
probably the most elegant solution that they're going to be able to do so the case will plug into the bottom of your
phone it's like saying the most elegant way to put a 2 two on a hippo like there
well there is a most elegant way to put a two two on a hippo I'm sure there is
but who cares yeah but I would be more interested in this though I would rather
use the phone if it got to a split out box in an external case thing and that
went into like dual USB or why do I keep
saying USB dual lightning and like and a 3.5 it's technically USB so that would
be Wicked dual lightning at a 3.5 I would
be very happy so there's a new camera CER larger aperture Optical image
stabilization the iPhone 7 actually gets an additional telephoto lens on the back
that works like a built-in Zoom feature uh longer battery life like apparently
very substantially they haven't specified the capacity yet I guess we'll
just have to wait for the iFix and tear down I don't know why they're so like
about all this stuff we're going to figure it out eventually anyway the
front-facing camera is now 7 megapixels and includes Auto Image stabilization
which is not the same as Optical image stabilization so we'll find exactly what
that means and they have finally done away with the 16 gig capacity and they
have a glossy jet black that will look great in photos and will validate once
and for all why Luke and I have to spend so much time being angry at
manufacturers for making glossy black things and it will be because the iPhone
7 will sell better in that color than anything else because Apple made it more
exclusive by making it only available in the higher capacities so people are
going to want to show off that they have a ball in one they're going to get a glossy jet black one and we are going to
have to continue to be mad that our wireless routers are glossy black
plastic and look stupid after 4 seconds because you had the audacity to plug a
cable into them or just let dust sit on
them that too glossy things just look terrible unless you literally just
cleaned it so we asked on Twitter um if people
wanted to suggest what we should talk about on Wow about the iPhone 7 I
completely forgot to look at this but I'm pretty sure that we talked about
most of them um yeah
I one of the things that I really don't like about the wireless ear pods is that they look like
earrings have you seen that um yeah yeah
I saw them I think they look ridiculous they do yeah like most wireless
headphones they just wrap around they're going to turn into a status symbol they're going to be like the original
white ear pods or no they weren't called earpods whatever I don't care white ear
white earphones H I don't know man we'll
see we will see but I don't some celebrity is going to wear them yeah
yeah but then you look at like Bluetooth
things yeah those always kind of made you look sort of like a douche yeah they
make you look like a douche and and these will make you look like a douche
unless you're like cool and then they will make you look like a
douch whatever oh man uh most people really
just asked for the headphone jack removal controversy so yeah yeah that
was fairly obvious um Robert Preston says I'm an easy man to make happy I
want a phone that makes calls and doesn't explode yep I like that well you have to
shop fairly carefully these days not exploding is an exclusive feature all
right so yeah they talk about waterproof talk about okay so our summary notes
were fine excellent good I'm happy with the waterproof improvements it's
expensive by the way I've been a big I've been a I've been a big wow I've
been a bigon no I just it got caught in my
nasal because I'm sick right now all right The eyew Watch 2 is
here hooray you're going to review it I
probably will I'll probably end up just saying I think it's stupid again starts
at three excuse me $370 has GPS boasts a
brighter display so basically they addressed everything that I don't care about it's like more waterproof now I
don't know how many people's Apple watches are dying in the water MSRP for
a GTX 1070 yeah not that you can buy them get
better video card than probably have if you didn't buy an Apple Watch I have a
rant on that coming uh there's a new Mario game for iOS the original article
here is from Kotaku coming on Android
later so there you go Mario is on a phone which is exciting because if you
wanted to play Mario on your phone then that will excite you I mean it'll be
nice to have better quality Platformers on mobile so that's cool y it'll offer
three distinct modes so there's challenge courses to complete there's a
second mode which is challenging play data of other people's courses and then
you can create your own Mushroom Kingdom using coins collected by playing the
first two modes one thing that drives me insane about this where's the actual
topic uh it'll be free to download with a set
purchase price what what does that even mean and that's
not like a weird quote that Colton did that's exactly the
quote in quotations that's what the guy
said so like I don't know know cuz I
read I I read it'll be free to download
but with a set purchase price and was like Wow Colton way to go clicked
through and was like oh actually yes good job Colton more literally this
time what does that even mean okay you
claimed to see this coming I did not hit me hit me VR adoption among steam users
has crashed to a halt original article here is from Venture beat uh VR is an
extremely difficult thing to properly
explain the experience and feeling of
without having the person actually do it apparently it means uh it is not free
you pay there are no
microtransactions you can download it for free but you have to pay to unlock
it that's super dumb yeah so there you
go okay sure that's super dumb yeah it was apparently a bad translation okay
okay that makes sense um okay so yes
it's extremely it's it's hard to translate because it's an experience MH
it's like some it's like telling someone that um a roller coaster was cool who's
never been on a roller coaster or anything that moves quickly or inflicted
GeForce on them at all before mhm yeah you go around the corner and it like
pulls your body and stuff and the person's like what like it doesn't it
doesn't translate very well every single person I've described VR2 no matter how
excited and how intricate I made the description once they try it completely
different conversations they're pretty dead pan and like yeah sure whatever
dude then they try it they're like whoa I want one like every single time so
here is sort of where I didn't see this
coming cuz I agree with everything you just said okay but what I thought was
that people would do that people would show their friends and they'd be like
whoa I want one so what you're saying is that the people who play VR games don't
have friends well there's a combination of things um that's possibly true I mean
I play VR I don't have friends I'm that's possibly true to a certain degree
one thing that I was pushing for quite a while and you probably know this is that
I wanted Best Buys and stuff like brick and mortar stores setting up yeah but
not really yet yeah it takes time and it's not really that great yet and I've
heard of a couple small brick and mortar stores having them with the rift which
is not the experience that I want people trying right
and the most popular VR experience right
now is with the damn gear
VR o the gear VR is awful exactly so
people are getting this gear VR for free throwing it on and then going why the
heck censoring myself a little bit there would I ever spend all that money $1,000
for like that but better because it isn't that but better it's not that at
all completely different categories of things right but they're called falling
at the same thing and Samsung is oh oh
yeah and their their radio advertisements are like oh yeah today I was running around with dinosaurs and
then I was like fighting zombies and stuff and so they try to make it the
same amount of exciting and they describe it in the exact same way that
people are describing the high-end headsets then people are trying the gear
vrs and then going why the hell would I ever buy that nicer
one so people are not exposed to it in a
direct Hands-On way right people are exposed to shitty versions of it in a
direct Hands-On way mhm and the community that has them is very small
and then they're really expensive right and the well-informed community also
knows that these are the first version
there's probably follow-up versions coming relatively quickly that will be
considerably better and that's going to be happening for a while y okay so like
it's it's this huge I totally saw this coming uh that's why that's a big reason
why I was worried about even making the rift review so late is because I knew
the hype train was already crashing so hard all right so basically the numbers
are here uh according to a survey of customers that use steam conducted by
Valve um the number of new HTC VI owners
on Steam only grew by 3% in July and
remained flat in August Oculus saw similar results of 3% in July and .1% in
August yep July and August are important because they are the first first months
where both HTC and Oculus are shipping
orders when they receive them wow that's tough eh
yeah all right um let me just see if
we've got anything else that's really interesting here I would be interested in seeing some other statistics on that
steam thing like the percentage of computers that can actually perform
properly with those VR headsets how many of those people are buying headsets
right because a huge amount of the steam Hardware survey is
like not even necessarily dedicated GPU laptops y that's true and like your
mom's HP that was 300 bucks and stuff
like that so a lot of these things VR headsets aren't even remotely in the
Horizon for them and it doesn't apply so
the percentage sounds lower than it probably should so this made me mad and
then I got over it Google Chrome to disallow backspace as the back button
see I'm going to press backspace and it's not going to do anything mind you this is the first page I loaded in this
tab so it probably wouldn't have done anything anyway but I'll demonstrate
again I'm pressing see oh look at that alt left press alt left Arrow to go back
press alt left all right all right Chrome there you go so the idea is to
keep people from losing all their work by accidentally trying to backspace
something and then losing a web form which I personally don't really have a
lot of difficulty with apparently this is really old and this is
old not not this VR thing oh Chrome well
whatever I know no they've been rolling it out slowly okay it hit me this week
okay and I hadn't heard about it and it made me mad you use that that's all I
use backspace to go yeah yeah I don't all the time I don't well I just do it
with my mouse whatever which will still work I do it with both get wrecked
sometimes I touch the little back button on the touch screen yeah that's right
whoa yeah you're a you're like I'm like a rebel triangle
yeah um what no I kind of
I'll sure all right no I'll I'll I'll do it I'll I'll bite I'll bite on this one
okay Turing phone Cadenza will
apparently feature dual Snapdragon 830s with a 60 megapixel quad rear
camera triplet lens why would you have quad rear cameras so IMAX 6K is the
resolution they're calling that dual front cameras 20 megapixels 12 gigs of
RAM one tab of storage swordfish OS with
deep learning AI what is this a a 5.8
inch 1440 by 2560
display um so Turing robotics has revealed plans for the future of the
Turing phone uh should be a Leading Edge
program to realize the next generation of mobile devices um 1 gbit per second 60 GHz y
gig support I mean what are they planning saying the phone will be released sometime in 2017 quad nano SIM
support I mean this B basically just sounds like someone going on PC parts
picker and just like picking all the most expensive stuff that totally won't
work together and just putting it in a
cart graphine oxide composite body workor with liquid metal 2.0 structural
frame it's only going to have a 2 2400 milliamp oh 2400 milliamp graphine super
capacitor battery so like basically like instant charging and a 16600 Milah
lithium hyrogen hydrogen fuel cell and it's really funny because our
next topic is halflife 3 confirmed which is almost like that phone is like
halflife 3 confirmed why is this in here what is this we're almost at the back to
the future date we're even closer to the Star Wars Tipping Point the what on May
13th The Phantom Menace will have come out closer to Return of the Jedi than to
the present it's weird how I'm consistently
surprised by the passage of time when it's literally the most predictable thing in the universe you know a long
time ago should have plus four more decades added into the
re-releases what oh hold on a second halflife
halflife episode 2 it's been that many
days September 10th 2016 so that's the
oh I see okay wow has it really was it
yeah it was 10 years has it really been 10 years since halflife episode 2 holy
crap we're old wow speaking of VR things cuz
someone lit the fire um Oculus touch controller price was leaked on media
Mark for
€200 oh cool which is probably going to be $200 as well because because H take
that Europeans you're not an American so
you get wrecked by pricing apparently sorry we're not Americans either so
before anyone forgets that point um we
just like talking about Trump because it's funny and it really impacts us a
lot because we live really close and we're really small population yeah I
mean what if he makes us pay for a wall that is like a really long border it is
all right so thank you for tuning in to the W show we will see you again next
week same bat Time same bat Channel we could employ all the oil riggers that
way could be good what if you made the wall out of solar
panels and then it became a profit Venture we could export the power to the
states so you're saying solar freaking
walls yeah solar freaking walls solar freaking walls you're not allowed on
this show
would the top of the wall be a road like if you travel along the border on the
wall Road Road Wall okay
