all right welcome to the WAN Show we uh
uh are restarting due to some technical difficulties so you'll have to bear with
us we've got a lot of great topics for this week the hpl X3 leaked a Hollywood
hospital succumbs to a hacker to a
hacker and the federal judge orders Apple to help the FBI
decrypt an iPhone 5c Apple responds with
an open letter oh yeah the last thing is the Pentagon orders Windows 10 to be
installed on approximately 4 million devices by January
2017 that's crazy yeah that's crazy we'll get to why that's crazy later in
the meantime I'm going to roll the
intro guess they didn't want a redo of Windows
XP or maybe they do want a redo of Windows XP where they run it forever so
they just are like okay it has been 15
years we are ready to run a different
operating system for the next 15 years
and for some reason we've decided that Windows 10 is the one that we're going
with there are a lot of things I like about Windows 10 but there are certainly
some that I do not okay so let's kick this off for those of you watching live
on Twitch who are wondering what the heck just happened there where I was
literally mid-sentence literally not touching anything well that was my life
in a nutshell I stand Here totally innocently hands off everything doing
absolutely nothing wrong and Boop stuff dies
so this is the graphics card that was in the wow PC before we started streaming
today for some reason the Shroud is like
this which is not a thing that it was like before so that's confusing uh this
is a 5 550 TI um that is no longer good so I'm
going to go ahead and you know find out what's inside
it what the heck is going on with that shroud I don't know like I don't
understand there's pieces of plastic falling out of it I don't
understand what's holding this piece on
and I don't understand what made this piece fall off well like something broke
there's like chunks of plastic falling out of it but the thing about that is
that it hasn't been touched since it was
installed and no one ever touched a graphics card that hardcore right there
there we go oh yeah so so they clip on to the to the heat sink itself I guess
so let's just had enough of your crap 550
TI I'm trying to trying to do it without like breaking it breaking it it's kind
of dead I know it's kind of dead but it's only kind of dead maybe that's part
of the problem maybe sometimes I just have too much faith in in Hardware's
ability to be like only sort of dead I should just kind of go okay we got one
driver crash that's it time for the bin
um also I'm sitting in a chair that some
[ __ ] tilted the base of it like way
back so I'm like sitting with my legs up like this basically like in like my
body's in like a V shape and it's making my back hurt so I'm in a totally foul
mood today but that's okay because it's all about you guys and we have a stream
to do so damn it everyone in the twitch chat was are doing a stream virtually
hugging you were they virtually hugging meh thank you you know
what twitch chat you should
Okay so we've already Meed their new
slogan um all right so federal judge
orders Apple to help the FBI decrypt the
San Bernardino killer iPhone 5c Apple
responds with an open letter to their customers that is obviously also
intended to address the FBI's demand so
this was posted originally by Blaze 756 in the Forum I'm going to go ahead and
pop up that message a message to our customers on apple.com the United States
government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens
the security of our customers we oppose this order which has impl implications
far beyond the legal case at hand because on the surface this all looks
very reasonable okay we need to get some information off of this Killer's phone
in order to better investigate the case or whatever it is that they need to do
frankly once you kill someone you kind of as far as far as I'm concerned you're
kind of fair game um you know if someone needs to Snoop around in your stuff to
find out how many people you've been killing or how you killed them or where
you put the bodies then I think you kind of give up your uh you give that up at
that point um but Apple makes a good
point what the FBI is effectively asking
them to do is build in a back door so
they they they're asking Apple to make a new version of iOS um circumventing
several important security features and then they want to install it on an
iPhone recovered during the investigation so in the wrong hands this
software which does not exist would have
the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession because
that is a really interesting point the iPhone and iOS the one way that you
could break into it would be an iOS
update yeah that does not have the security features that Apple believes be
in there y so Apple actually made a
choice in 2014 to remove itself from
being able to access encrypted devices so that means if you know um
grandpa you know Joe and Grandma Jill or
whatever one of them dies and the other one can't get into the phone or the iPad
Apple straight up cannot decrypt the device yeah um and you know there's a
there's a lot of arguments to be made on both side personally I totally respect
that I think respecting the user privacy is the right thing for Apple to do
especially in the context of what their competitors are doing whether it's
Microsoft or Google where it's all about uh collecting customer information
collect collect collect monetize all that stuff I think that's one of Apple's
truly differentiating points in the marketplace today and like a really good
one and I I found this kind of weird for a while and I'm happy that the tech
Tech Community seems to be getting behind Apple for this because for a long
time we've been kind of talking on stuff like the W show about that you know
really horrible Android security and
like all these other giant security problems then Apple's just sitting over
there with like kind of a great ecosystem in terms of security and
encrypted things and whatnot and everyone hates on them everyone loves to
bring up the fening uh but that was not
an apple encryption breach no like no
that was that was social engineering allowing people to get their hands on
someone else's data which which there honestly no no amount of nothing Apple
can do can can prevent that um yeah see
already twitch chat is like yeah we know we know um people are
like Luke looks so tired I am tired yeah
it's I don't even understand why it's been such a long week like it just has
everything I've done has just been hard this week well yeah and like this is my
10th
video cuz four four Tech quickies one
Channel Super Fun right theoretically four LTDs see I didn't even get that
much done and one way yeah so there you
go anyway so where where are we at here
like thanks to John the tech cookies weren't that hard but like it's it's
still a lot of stuff and like uh the one
lus Tech tips that isn't done yet oh yeah I mean it's possible that a
few of the people that are helping me are even watching right now I'm just like oh yeah jeez wow that's going to be
a fun series to update in the
future hopefully it'll be easier than this one anyway back to the uh the Apple
thing Apple has several days before it has to file a formal
response um the justice department says that Apple's defensive encryption is
just a marketing stunt which I totally
do not agree that that is the case at
all and if neither side is happy with Apple's response the case will be
escalated to the court of appeals for the 9th circuit and could escalate as
far as the Supreme Court taking up to several years this is great Donald Trump
you are the man um Donald Trump calls for an apple
boycott until they respond uh until they
decrypt the phone basically it's like
okay a you've clearly shown that
you don't understand what the larger
issue is here and B
um I think that's that's about it
I I I genuinely I genuinely think that
there is a very good chance he will be president though really I really
do we'll see I I truly do I don't know
enough about American politics speaking of uh presidential candidates this was
posted by Sam fiser on the Forum original article here is from the BBC
and uh John McAfee has offered to decrypt the phone says he only needs 3
weeks and he will use social engineering in order to do so and um he is also I
didn't even know this but also apparently running for president as a
Libertarian what yeah um hold on a
second let me just uh so if you guys don't know who John McAfee is you
probably should you know that annoying software which by the way he has nothing
to do with anymore he left the company ages ago but that McAfee software that's
him he made uh you know commercial
antivirus for basically the first time I think is uh is his sort of claim to fame
um he's kind of crazy yeah in a very entertaining way yeah but he's kind of
crazy so I mean that he's he's got the at least he's got some of the right
ideas here though that's for sure he's Keen to unlock the device himself
because he doesn't want Apple to have to implement a back door and I mean uh this
is a this is a really good point from Tim Cook and he says the government SU
suggests this tool could only be used once on one phone but that's not true
once created this technique could be used over and over again on any number
of devices in the physical world it would
be the equivalent of a master key capable of opening hundreds of millions
of locks um no reasonable person would find that acceptable and I agree with
them 100% apparently so does John McAfee
um so he basically says if Apple creates
this tool and implements this back door it will be the beginning of the end for
America that's maybe a little rough which
is that might be a little much but uh maybe maybe a little bit sensationalist
but um says also that he will eat his sh shoe on television if they can't break
the encryption on the phone
um so there's that anyway here here's the McAfee 2016 page just in case you
were curious I don't think uh I don't think anyone is actually planning to
vote for I mean look at this why is this website so bad I know right what the
heck uninstall the system wow wow that
looks horrible pretty sure this is a joke I may be wrong though cuz I
legitimately I legitimately hadn't heard
that he was running and I legitimately
cannot possibly believe that this is true I'm sure that twitch chat is uh I'm
sure twitch chat is exploding right now but uh C people saying I'd vote for him
I'd vote for maca um you
should oh no never said that in twitch chat good job that's awful good work
twitch chat we love you guys all right
what is going on there I don't know I don't know why is
life hard
why why don't you
mean just here you go okay all right it
settled down right everybody needs to just settle down okay thank you I hate
this I hate today I just want to go to bed yeah today s I just want to go go to
sleep and be done with today which I'm not going to be able to to do because I
need to fix that server after work today
so um all right this is good this was posted by Ragnarok Dell my back is so
sore from sitting in this chair like this want Swit I no it's okay because I
want the pain right now because the pain will fuel my anger for after the show
when I go and find whoever set it up like this take their chair away from
them rip it out from under them and put this chair under them so that they can
experience what they have
done that is why I want to sit in the chair so the Pentagon orders Windows 10
to be installed on All 4 million of its
PCS by 2017 so if your company hasn't yet
upgraded to Windows 10 your ID it department is quickly running out of
excuses actually I can think of a lot of excuses um do should we take turns
coming up with excuses you want the low hanging fruit go for it search yeah go
for it search so you basically can't find anything ever um on a computer
that's running over there I needed to install Heaven Benchmark just cuz I I
needed Heaven Benchmark I installed it and then typed heaven in the start menu
and nothing came up I go find the bad this is a fantastic demo this is my
favorite Windows 10 search is terrible and this is this is I'm talking when the
start menu opens we've got a couple machines here in the office that have
issues with the start menu even opening like oh yes yeah yeah uh it's a global
thing I know on my machine upstairs what I usually have to do to search for
something is Click cortan once then click it and Skype what part of what I
did sounded like I'd like to talk to you right now all right so what I have to do
is I have to click it once and then again and then I can click the start
menu and I can get that open okay so get this okay so this is a great tool Rufus
um for creating bootable thumb drives so
all right you've got a lot of great suggestions here Rufus Rufus Wayne W
yeah I heard there was a secret chord that Microsoft played and it made their
start menus work internally so they apparently aren't aware of these bugs
um just playing Rufus uh here we go
Rufus USB Rufus and murdog whatever that oh look at this oh it did find a search
result on my computer that's weird why did it find the folder but not the
executable why there was something I was looking
for on my computer uh I don't I can't say the name cuz it'll spoil the video
that's coming up um but I typed in the name of the program that I needed and it
gave me the config file and not the executable I was just
like why I've ran the executable so many
times and I've never read the config file like and it's just it's just
frustrating cuz Windows 8 it works fine Windows 7 I can search for rofus I'm
very sorry you guys I just realized I
accidentally killed all of the entire thing uh no we don't no the compressor
is the compressor is not working um sorry for screaming sorry for screaming
anyway I'm I'm up I'm upset about that because I search for Rufus a lot because
I never remember where I put it and uh apparently I'm kylo Ren because you just
cleaved everyone that's a good H it's a good analogy good job yeah his voice is
the unstable lightsaber yeah thank you for
that this is my mask this is my I'm
tired mask is I'm hosting the rest of the W
show a long week oh oh man all right anyway so this
will be the largest deployment of Windows 10 since it's released 6 months
ago and represents a huge milestone for
Microsoft because if there is anyone that it is difficult to get to upgrade
their their Windows operating systems it is the military so the funny thing about
this is a lot of the machines being upgraded are going to be Windows XP
machines or newer machines that are running in Windows XP just for the laws
yeah um so the upgrade will include
Windows hello which is their biometric security system that's embedded into the
OS that allows you to use fingerprint scanners or even retinal scanners to
sign in to Windows uh or yes it actually allows you to use a variety of different
authentication methods
um yeah I I kind of feel like Windows
hello hasn't been vetted to the point where I would want it deployed in a
military application but um maybe they
did I doubt
it yeah I don't know man
um yeah oh man sorry usually I can like
I can contain yawns for the sake of
having something resembling a modicum of
professionalism throughout this show but I am just bushwack like my whole family
got sick this week between did you get it my no I was going to ask you earlier
today if you got it so between my son and daughter and wife um there were
probably somewhere between 15 and 20 upchucks in the last 3 days wow like
everyone was sick wow my aunt got sick
um our babysitter got sick I am still not sick but my aunt was
saying apparently this bugs you can stay contagious 7 days after you stop showing
symptoms so there is still plenty of time for me to get hit by it but um oh
man let's go ahead and talk about talk about this this is kind of a this is
kind of a big deal the HP Elite X3 leaked before Mobile World Congress this
was posted by Casual Gamer on the Forum let's go ahead and uh pull up the WM
power user.com windowsmobile power user.com that's the kind of site that
you start thinking like someday
Microsoft will get their crap together and there will be someone who wants to
visit this
site oh anyway this does look like a
pretty darn cool little device it features a Snapdragon 820 processor 4
gigs of RAM 32 gigs of storage to up to 200 gigs of expandable micro SD Storage
IP67 water and dust resistance um a 16
megapixel rear camera 8el front camera ah yes here's this is where it
gets really interesting so it's got a type-c USB 3.0 connector on the bottom
and apparently support for Continuum so if you don't remember what
Continuum is because Microsoft talked about it and then promptly there was
nothing that used it so we all forgot about it Continuum allows you to have
the desktop is experience with your
mobile device by using a USB type-c adapter to go out to HDMI or some kind
of a display output to a fullsize monitor and even break out to USB uh
input devices like a keyboard and mouse
pretty freaking sick so because there is an ARM compatible version of office what
you could do is you could actually work
on like office documents on your keyboard and mouse save all your work to
your phone unplug bibity Bop off you go and you can use it as as a phone
Continuum also allows you I mean this is all in theory I've never personally used
it also allows you to use your phone as a touchpad if for whatever reason you
are one of the bizarre human beings who
uses a touchpad when they're at their desktop as they're
like for some reason I I know people that do that I do too and people are
like yeah gestures you know here's a gesture
this is called the right finger down gesture brings up the contextual menu a
lot faster than you know touch and hold
and people are like oh but like gestures
and I'm like here's a gesture it's called shortcut keys on your keyboard
like anyway um keyboard shortcuts yeah
thank you keyboard shortcuts um some people would get
that oh right oh yeah people are upset we're not posting the links in chat I
forgot and apparently you forgot anyway
we're sorry we're sorry we suck we're terrible you guys can you guys can hate
on us all you want to be completely honest I know you're in like a
everything has to suck right now mode but that that is my job that is my fault
that's okay I can take responsibility for that one but that's okay that
doesn't help me everything sucks now you suck I had faith in
you damn it all you've done is drag me down even more now way to go
Luke no it's okay I'm not mad I'm just disappointed that's
worse
no all right this is a cool topic so
this was posted by kamish SS on the
Forum and it is the ringing Bells Freedom
251 smartphone I'm going to pull up the uh gadgets. dendy tv.com article
here this is by far the okay can can we
can we not wow wow I have never seen a popup
like this site will open in 5 seconds if you do not click it away it clicks on
the popup for you whoa that is awesome
you are a terrible terrible site Gadget 360 look at the
ads oh man whoa wow how are any of
providers here okay with uh the amount
of ads wow all right scroll down wow ads
on the side and then all of a sudden it's just like ads wow 10 Canadian
dating sites that really work I want to know what those Canadian dating sites
are I've never even heard of this that's top seven top
seven you couldn't even get that right
even the website's called top 10 I'm just disappointed Ashley Madison isn't
on here so yeah I'm pretty much done with that now that's disappointing um
all right so here we go ringing Bells is set to officially unveil the freedom 251
smartphones so the price is because it
costs 251 I believe rs's rupees because this
is in India I'm fairly sure that they
also have the rupee in India we also have the rupee in Canada now um ever
since the the dollar slid with the price of oil anyway I digress so what that's
equivalent to is approximately $4
$4 I mean real dollars not Canadian dollars $4 making it the cheapest
smartphone in the world and it goes on sale I believe
uh yesterday looks like it was a yesterday at 6: a.m. now there are some
issues with the way they're bringing it to Market you have to reserve it online
which if you're going to kind of go okay this is the device that's going to like
connect the Indian people who have no
devices and no connectivity then they may not have an internet connection or a
device to do that but maybe they have a buddy or a library or whatever else you
know you know hopefully they can get that figured out and um the other issue
with this launch is that it is unclear
at this time whether this is an ongoing
price or whether this is umal starting
price or something yeah whether it's just a promotional starting price if it is an on going price obviously it's
heavily subsidized in fact um let me just pull up uh I think it was Indian
express.com had a really good article about it as well uh here let me just let
me just pull this up this site is significantly less obnoxious but uh
let's see if they have any dating advice apparently
theyve apparently the government has been given uh been giving them immense
support through the make in India
program uh however this is what's weird
because uh there's actually a sticker
that is uh covering up that it is actually an Adcom icon 4 which is
significantly more expensive so it's just got a sticker on the rear panel to
conceal that branding so that's not even
an indian-made device what so I don't
really maybe the sticker get that yeah
um buy the phone and call it a component and then put the stick ER on it and then
they're like it boom it's made yeah so let's talk let's talk specs
um so to be clear that other device I think costs about the equivalent of uh
something like4 or or $50 um so that's closer to what it
actually cost to make a device like this I saw an estimate that it costs about
$40 to manufacture this thing so the
issue if this is just an introductory price is it sets a really unrealistic
expectation um for smartphone pricing because we are we are so far away from
$4 being achievable for a device that's running Android 5.1
lollipop um a 4in QHD IPS display wow
yeah is that even right I'm a little bit worried about whether that QHD IPS
display spec is right all the other ones are like wow that's impressive that
one's kind of ridiculous might be HD it's got to be it's got to be HD and I I
would be surprised if it's actually IPS do you want to investigate that I'm already okay anyway it's got a 1.3 GHz
quad core a gig of RAM 8 gigs of storage expandable storage by up to 32 gigs and
a 3.2 megapixel rear camera 1450 mamp
battery 3G support dual SIM support and a 1-year warranty 4in IPS display
resolution unspecified there you go all
right so that's more like it so that you know wait did you know the name of that phone that they're just rest stickering
I can look that up uh yeah but they I mean you never know they may have
actually made some changes like it's possible that they reused tooling but
then oh so I remember this is there's a
lot of Corners you have to cut to sell a smartphone for $4 okay so if like if
like a bunch of casings were like a bad batch or something and they were like
gee we don't know what to do with these who whoa don't throw those in the garbage we'll put our phone in it I I I
don't that could actually be a thing think that's entirely impossible no so
the other sort of negative takeaway if this is not ongoing pricing is that it
actually does nothing to revolutionize the connectivity of India and the Indian
people as as a country and as a the people in that country um especially
because like if it gets out that it's not a permanent price a whole bunch of
people are just going to buy it and flip it yep and then you end up with it
costing and it's and that's one of those things that frustrates me is like I
don't mind stuff being expensive
actually um like I don't I don't mind
charging a fair price for a good
product um I if you have a good product that is
worth x amount I would like to I would rather see the
manufacturer take that margin that they
earned by designing and bringing this good product to Market i' would rather
the manufacturer take it than some jerk on eBay oh yeah so did you kind of get
where I was going with this yeah yeah while I it's it's kind of like the uh it
doesn't work this way but how annoyingly frustrating it is to have to uh purchase
scalped tickets yep or uh brand new game consoles yeah like PlayStation 4s and to
a lesser degree Xbox Ones back when they
launched uh yeah for sure when when something is in severe demand and people
just grab it and flip it it's really annoying because it's not even as easy
to get anymore yeah it's it's way more expensive which is dumb and it's
actually really difficult and hard to get which is dumb yep and we're just
we're lining the pockets of jerks on eBay uh
couriers um who else I mean there's
depending on where you buy from and who you sell to there's potential double
taxation involved in something like this um because you know these people aren't
set up as like resellers they're not going to write off that PlayStation that
they bought at Best Buy as a you know taxable like business expense and then
like collect TA from the buyer and submit all that no no one's going to do
that so they're just kind of kind of go okay yeah I had to pay 10% tax on it so
now it's 440 plus whatever markup I want
like we're just we're just giving it away so tell me
something would you be okay with surge
pricing at launch would you rather to would you
rather the manufacturer have it to that
degree oh wow that's a disgusting to go
down no uh the reason why I say that is
almost everything that I buy doesn't sell out and I don't have to buy it
online scalp okay so if we just start doing
surge pricing at launch they're just going to be like oh well 10 people
bought it time to engage serd price mode
okay so hold on a second then I mean is there a difference between surge pricing
and just the early adopter tax the early
adopter uh yes like what if the what if the surge
pricing that I'm talking about was not necessarily like oh you know the factory
is a little behind let's let's uh hike up the price what if it was only at the
beginning what if they were like okay for the first 10 days the Xbox 2 or
whatever they call whatever the next one's going to be the Xbox 2 costs
$600 after that it will be $400 so if
they actually had a tiered launch so if you it knowing full well
that you can buy one for $200 Less in like let's say some finite and
reasonable amount of time would you be okay with them just just bending over
the people who must have it on launch day I wouldn't care and would just wait
but but are you okay with the concept I think it's dirty
marketing is it is it marketing to like
jack up the price temporarily cuz like you make a premier crowd like maybe you
make it so that um because people aren't just going to just have that so like
Halo as a launch title is going to have like this 10day event right at the
beginning which is only during the high price time and like you can get some
special skins if you play during the 10day event I think we just
singlehandedly solved the console
scalping problem if anyone from Xbox or
Playstation watches this stream how much you want to bet there's going to be okay
okay no this doesn't solve the problem literally makes it worse no no no it
solves the problem for them not for anyone else how does it solve it for
them oh so you think oh hold on hold on okay so let me let me recap this because
I think I think I jumped I think I I lo
I I lost your train of thought here I think I'm back on it so what you're
saying is if normally a console is $400
at launch and we go okay there's a twoe event where it's 600 $ you think instead
of them ebaying for $800 they're going to eBay for
$1,200 so you think we've just we've singleand made it way worse
yeah 100% twitch chat's like damn it l is
stop giving them
ideas that's okay that's okay I don't think anyone from Microsoft's Xbox
division or uh did did PlayStation break off from Sony now do I have to call it
PlayStation I don't know I'll just say Xbox and Playstation I
don't think anyone is actually watching this but like what if oh man oh how do
okay so how do we how do we make it more
expensive without making it
enticing because that way no because no because that way people people won't
want it that bad but no no company is
going to be like all right let's make let's make our product less
enticing let's hike the price moft was
try Microsoft was trying pretty hard to do that with the connect oh my God okay
let's make it less enticing and cost $100
more so maybe we're not giving them ideas after all maybe maybe they knew
about all of this already oh man um okay
here someone in twitch chat this is a pretty good idea no games during the
first two weeks
so he just like everyone's favorite game when you look on social system
settings or or it could be all only
Early Access games oh so the people that
we're screwing over are the people who deserve it the
most the people who pre-order
everything oh my God that should be the new launch titles for consoles yeah it's
all Early Access games so they don't
call it the launch they call it early
access so you actually pay more to get
an early access console yeah that is
literally like they could even call it like like like uh like like Xbox the
like slightly flawed yeah but then you know those will be worth more that's
like having a coin that's got a head on both sides like everyone's going to want
the flawed one even like a dead flawed one will probably be worth cuz you could
put the innards of a working one in
it man someone's like insane console
pricing you should oh hold on hold on hold
on yeah
yay uh you know what I guess that leads us pretty well into our SP feel okay
they just did this overlay thing where you can see like the buttons in the top
corner and the bar and the Bottom bar and the middle thing saying you should or whatever I have a serious feeling
that's going to become a meme you should it's just going to be like some like
random image in the background and then that you should thing over top of it oh
I think that's already happening for sure So speaking of you should
squarespace.com you're looking to build a website then should use
squarespace.com you've got all kinds of great templates all you got to do is
pick out the one that is the best for your beautiful website if you wanted to
go ahead and have like an e-commerce module integrated in your site all of
them include that and uh when you're
setting it up you should make sure that you get all of your you know photos and
pricing done correctly and uh they've got a they've got a free trial that
lasts for two weeks with no credit card required so definitely sign up for that
now and if you go hey Squarespace is
right for me then you should use offer code Linus to save 10% on your
Squarespace subscription for whether it's just a short period of time or a
year which by the way you should oh
crap I was doing so well sign up for a
year cuz they'll throw in a domain for you for nothing so uh Squarespace you
should build it beautiful all right that was pretty good
uh next up we've got linda.com which I
actually uh finally started like
actually not just like playing around with it to validate okay these guys are
like real and they're not just a total scam or anything um I am starting on
some networking stuff because I am a networking Noob and Johnny the network
guy let me down pretty hardcore this week oh um released because I I
specifically asked him this I was like okay I'm doing a point-to-point guide so
you can have 10 gbit Nicks linked directly between the computers and they both have W connections with a separate
Nick I'm like tell me the guidelines
because I knew I knew there were guidelines I was like tell me the guidelines for what IP addresses I can
use and use public ones and he used public ones he was like yeah it's fine
and you know what realistically it's probably fine unless I happened to want
to access that particular HP it turns
out it was HP Reserve public IPS unless
I wanted to access that particular HP site it wasn't like helip packard.com it
was like who knows yeah um it would have
been fine I would have literally never run into that but I believe in following
best practices and I asked him not once
but three times are you sure he's like
yeah it's fine I'm like are you sure he's like yeah it's fine so half the

posted by giving TNT on the Forum this is the reflex the Revolutionary full
color high definition bendable smartphone that you won't have your
hands on anytime in the next 5 years
very cool technology it actually includes not just a bendable display and
obviously in internal components of some
sort um not just a bendable display but
also haptic feedback so what the example
they're showing right there is bending the display to flip the page in some
kind of a graphic novel or comic and uh
it actually gives you haptic feedback that's like Flip Flip you're you're flipping the page Isn't that cool um
when you're playing Angry Birds for example what it can do is it can have
like a very tactile sort of experience with the stretching back of the rubber
band and then the releasing of it yeah pretty cool I've actually got an Angry
Bird's um arcade game at the uh at
Castle Fun Park out in Abbotsford now it was new the last time I went there so I
think it's I think it's pretty new that's probably pretty new yeah yeah it's it's actually pretty clever so it's
just Angry Birds um on a giant
touchscreen display at the end of like a long tube it's probably about the size
of like the the small like basketball thing and then it's got a launcher which
I wish was a was like a slingshot but
it's not it's just a pinball pulley thing it's okay cuz you at least have a
thing you can hold and kind of the experience is all right and it's just
got a little inflatable ball inside that you fling and it's a touchcreen so it
knows where it hits and then it detects the hit and it knocks down the crab that's cool I was like yeah yeah okay I
guess that's worth a120 a play are you for real Castle Fun Park yeah the good
news is that my kids are young so they don't actually realize half the time
that the game's not on so like we go there with four people
we kill like an hour and a half two hours we spend like 20
bucks that's awesome and like the pool tables there are really crappy so no
one's ever really on them so we go and um like when we get bored of the other
stuff we we load up we uh it's like a buck 20 to to to get all the balls we
put them in the middle of the table and then the kids just like using the sticks
or my actually just gets up on the pool table and just puts them in the puts
them in the pockets and then my wife and I just walk around and like grab them
before they go down and put them back on and as long as no one's waiting no one's ever really yelled at us we just got
like a a one-year-old like crawling around on top of the They Don't Really
Care again as long as no one's waiting they're pretty chill and we're there
we're spending money I mean there's like two two employees working for minimum
wage and no one else there ever so yeah I finally got my son to go in the
when's the last time you went there pretty relatively recently okay so did
you see that like uh break the lasers or Dodge the lasers room so every time
we've gone there which is like three or four times now I've been like do you want to go in there he
like he's kind of kind of a shy kid anyway he's like so the last time I was
like I was just because I I thought he would like it right okay should we
should give context it it brings you into a room that's all like matte black
on the inside and there's random lasers shooting in a bunch of different directions and you have to work your way
through through the room without tripping the lasers uh there's two
different games you can play I'm going to describe this one first without breaking the lasers and then hold your
hand on a panel and then someone else has to do the same thing and they have to hold their hand on the panel then you
have to work your way all the way back or they just have lasers going all over
the place and you have to run through and cross them all as fast as you can
and it's timed and it's timed um so anyway I asked him if he wanted to do
that one cuz I figured for a three-year-old the just break all the lasers is probably going to be the
easiest thing and he goes no no I want to do the other one I go oh okay so what
I didn't realize is that a two-player mode costs exactly twice as much and B
once we went inside if you play two-player mode dodging around the
lasers and holding your hands on the like they look like handprint scanner
things like it's kind of you know o stealthy um you have to split up yeah so
we're in this dark room that he never really wanted to go into in the first
place finally gave in to me about and I'm like go over there don't touch the
beans okay hold your hands on there and he's just like
so at the game it only lasts like a minute the the game turns off he's like
Dad I want to go outside now I'm like yep we're never going in here again this
is his Space Mountain my my dad took me
on Space Mountain when I was like six never forgave him still remember to this
day I I didn't ride a roller coaster for a
decade I'm dead serious like and I didn't enjoy roller coasters until I was
in like my early 20s wa yeah all right
like like that was that was one of my scarred for life experiences as a kid
was riding Space Mountain when I was a really little kid so uh if you guys are
thinking you know you want to you want to pull one over on your kids and uh and
give them an experience to remember when they're really young then Space
Mountain I want to go back into do the ninja one you should oh man I didn't see
the switch I should have caught that uh I want to go back and do the ninja one
but with tighter clothes I was wearing a baggy shirt so I'd try to like ARM over
something and the shirt would just cross it we should do the ninja one cuz quite frankly I had a terrible teammate last
time I'd be down I'd be down I'm kind of big that's okay to try to dodge lasers
but I'll wear tighter clothes and I'm super down I'm down for anything that
involves you wearing tighter clothes godamn it I saw that I mean do we have
to invite the ladies on this double date I mean technically no technically we
probably should all right uh this was posted by the point blank on the Forum
original article here is from Android release the cat S60 is the first phone
with an fli thermal camera built in now
this isn't the first cat phone although the first one I kind of looked and went
okay so it's a ruggedized phone with very middling specs it's very expensive
I'm not that interested in this moving on this one has got my attention this is
very cool same thing somewhat middling specs I think they quote Octor
Snapdragon which uh oh no no actually they say it's a it is a Snapdragon 617
so again not topof the line but certainly capable uh 4.7 in HD
capacitive multitouch um so that's only 720p but it does have Auto wet finger
and glove support it is drop proof to 1.8 m which is pretty darn impressive so
that's about 5T uh for the Yanks out there um has a strengthened diecast
frame uh optimized battery performance so 3,800 Milah hour battery combine that
with the 720p screen and the Snapdragon 617 that thing is going to all when it
comes to battery life and it's got 32
gigs of uh store uh 32 gigs of storage 3
gigs of RAM runs Android marshmallow coming later on super bright display
typical 540 nits not too shabby Gorilla
Glass 4 but it is all about that thermal
camera so check out this picture this is back on Android police here that's super
cool this is the first dual camera implementation that I've seen that makes
any sense yeah the 1 M8 was just stupid
like oh we have a depth camera so that you can do this stupid gimmick that
looks terrible and is bad
um this is cool so it combines the
thermal camera with the regular camera to give you real image Clarity with the
thermal information overlaid how
freaking handy would that be for a contractor you want to know which pipes
got the hot water in itow it's you want to know if some wires
in the wall are heating up very very cool and I can see this
being useful for all kinds of stuff like even for me like is something in that
system overheating bow we're going to
get tired of that bow thing eventually but
I'm oh I'm never going to get tired of you should no like come up with a new
catchphrase we find some way to make it ridiculous y it's like heaven forbid
they came up with something with like swear words in
it like Squarespace F
yeah that would be the best Company motto ever everyone would know about it
it would be in the news everywhere yes and no it seems like people get over it
like a [ __ ] audio like no one really no one really flinches anymore that's true
but like they did put the like fcuk that's not edgy anymore yeah it's true
clothing brand yeah yeah people just get
people will become immune to anything that's true yeah become pretty numb to
like Reddit that's the word I was looking for numb uh this was posted by
yummy chicken Blue On The Forum the original article here is from Forbes
Apple finally addresses the error 53
issue that causes people who replace
their home button and then upgrade their
OS to not be able to use their phone it
just would brick so Apple's former stance on this
was well you had your handset repaired by a non-authorized technician so I
guess we'll just break your phone because you're a jerk and we hate you
um yeah so apparently error 53 was
supposed to be a factory test that was not intended to affect
customers um and all it would just say was the iPhone could not be updated an
unknown error occurred fortunately they
finally issued a patch so it's build number 13 D20 in the most current mobile
operating system iOS 9.2.1 that will allow people dealing with the error 53
issue to plug into iTunes and update so
yay so it'll restore bricked iPhones um
some repair dude who has like 50 air 53
bricked iphon sitting on a shelf somewhere is just
like yeah so stoked
however um the patched version of 9.2.1
will not permit Touch ID to start working again unless it has been
verified by an official Apple technician so you'll have to take it to an Apple
repair center to verify that it is properly
secured um the official stance here is that there are shady technicians out
there that could allow malicious access to your data otherwise I mean that is
maybe not a bad point there are some pretty skilled folks out there who could
solder some pretty grabbing things while they're in Flight
stuff and put that into a phone I
suppose so as long as they are willing
to allow me to repair it myself and at least just like give it the old hey yeah
you did it okay then I'm all right with that it is unclear how much apple is
going to be charging however for this
verification I don't know that doesn't mean no one knows but I certainly don't
know speaking of things that I don't know I don't how the crap this works Alo
Fox posted this on the Forum original article here is from The Verge
five-dimensional glass diss can store data for up to
13.8 billion years so we have officially
preserved the King James version of the Holy Bible for people 13.8 billion years
from now and that is will work
apparently even up to nearly
200° C so to put this in the appropriate
cont context a standardized disc so that
same Blu-ray that is now capable of holding 128 gigs of data would be able
to hold 360 terabytes of
data safely within glass it's using and
I I am not a a a physicist here but it's
using something to do with the uh Nano
gradings that change how light is reflected and encodes the data in five
dimensions and that's why they can store data so densely compared to traditional
Optical discs uh scientists believe this could be commercialized in the not too
distant
future another big deal this week this was posted by spaghetti carbonara on the
Forum is that Twitter Shadow Banning is
apparently real and happening every day
says an inside source now I don't know
how much of this is tinfoil hatwar ing I
didn't have time to look into this report myself so we just have to trust
Colton to have done it correctly see which that whole 5D thing literally in
the article it says that the location in space is on the X Y and Zed
axis so it's not 5D unless it's like a
location and a trajectory and something
else but it's not moving so
I hate it when people do that anyways moving on some Twitter
shadowbanning thing uh yeah so there were rumors that Twitter had begun
shadowbanning politically inconvenient users that has been confirmed allegedly
by a source inside the company according to the source which I don't know if we
can believe because whenever it's Source we're calling this rumor um Twitter
maintains a whit list and Black List the
white list is people who are of Caucasian descent and the black no I'm
just kidding it's the the more the more you didn't even catch that did you no I
said the white list was Caucasians oh my God it's just a joke uh the white list
is apparently users who are are okay to
broadcast their tweets all over the place and the Blacklist is apparently
users that are being somewhat or fully
shadowbanned so instead of just Banning the user directly their Conta is hidden
from the public view so this is a pretty common practice on things like online
communities in fact uh we're going to be working on a shadow Banning feature on
the lineus tech tips Forum um the way that we're planning to use it is very
very different from this however so what
they're effectively doing is hiding these blacklisted users content from the
public view so Twitter users have allegedly is a rumor been reporting
tweets from popular conservatives members of alternative rights cultural
Libertarians and antip PC dissidents
that have been disappearing from their timelines interesting yeah so kind of a
big deal I mean I saw someone's comment uh in the thread that was like oh
whatever no big deal it's just Twitter I mean it's like there's private company
they can do whatever they want but when you're as big as Twitter when
you have as much influence on the world
and the way people perceive it um you
have kind of a responsibility obligation yeah um I mean back to how we plan to
use Shadow Banning features uh the way that we had discussed it was giving
people timeouts from each other if there are users that cannot get along and are
starting flame Wars with each other all the time uh we might start
implementing um Shadow bands between those users so they just straight up
can't talk to each other and we would tell people that we're doing it we're like look we're giving you a time out
you're done you're not talking to each other anymore unless you create
duplicate accounts which by the way is against the term a service and we'll get
both of your accounts permanently permanently nuclearized then we'll ban
them both so yep so so basically like
there are valid reasons if you have a
platform that you have to moderate like something that people don't necessarily
realize is that Community sites are at
least partially responsible for the content that's on them we can't post
Google ads online tech tips.com anymore
because of some questionable material that was posted by members bunch of
people post posted anime porn thank you for that um so ultimately we have to
moderate this site and if we're having problems then Shadow Banning can be in a
very effective way to get rid of it but I think you have to maintain a certain
level of uh transparency and you have to maintain your integrity as well you
can't just start you know shadowbanning people you don't agree with I mean if
that were the case I actually posted this right in the thread I was like my
response to you Miss entho is proof that we don't believe in censoring people
that we regularly disagree
with because I do believe that Linus Tech tips.com aside from you know being
excellent to each other and abiding by the terms of service I believe it should
be an a place for open discussion and we allow any criticism I mean the
only the only personal attacks we don't allow are from members to members you
can go after an admin in any way you
want I would way rather you publicly attacked me and you publicly attacked
some other user on the site yep so our users and our moderators because they
are they are volunteers you guys okay they're nice people our users and our
moderators are off limits but if there's something you don't like you can let me
or Luke have what for about it if that's what floats your boat I also want to
cover this real quick if there's a moderator that does something that you
don't like um we're not a fan of you
trying to spit roast them in front of everyone on the site because again
they're volunteers and they're really just trying to help everyone and it's
really kind of shitty when you're trying to help everyone and you get publicly
roasted yeah Mage me about it and we can
talk about what happened and you should
you should message me about it um and there's uh there's been a lot of stuff
there there's sometimes where I'll be like yeah no you're wrong sorry bye and
then there's also times where sometimes permanently by I've seen that
happen yeah um you're wrong and honestly
your punishment wasn't severe enough yeah that has happened um it has also
happened where I went okay n maybe they were having a bad day let's make this a
little bit easier um so yeah anyways so
that's pretty much it for the W show today thanks for watching thanks to Def guy 91 for the pizza today and we will
see you again next week same bat Time
same bat Channel
bye oh my my goodness the YouTube announce video announcing the stream
never went up I guess that means I don't have to pull it down yeah but this is
one of the weeks I actually remembered to pull it down so there's that
who why does it look
weird I don't know why anything anymore
it I don't know I just I Hate Everything
uh sorry guys no after party today because I'm I'm super tired and I want
to go home and sleep actually I want to fix the server and then go home and
sleep
