interested in and so I decided to make 31 00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:48,959 but I've got a video upcoming on ipmi which is a Remote Management interface 32 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,920 that exists on some motherboards that allows you to log in from anywhere and 33 00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:57,000 like power on the server power down the server change bio settings even all 34 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,560 kinds of cool stuff like that so uh so I've been working on some videos and 35 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,760 they've been working on some videos and it's good stuff and uh okay right so I will I 36 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:11,040 will answer those questions that I said I was going to answer this is my new 37 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,560 co-host her name is kuu or something I'm 38 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,200 making that up I know she's an actual character from an actual show I don't 39 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,680 know what it is um I've got people 40 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,760 talking about wcon L yes yes I go through wcon l in the video I actually 41 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,560 have some other cool solutions that I guarantee you've never heard of as well 42 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,480 um yes I know Yoko apparently it's Yoko 43 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:39,000 I don't know I'm sorry you know for me it's just you know a pillow um I was on 44 00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,640 Amazon and I was just browsing toys not 45 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,360 those kinds of toys I was browsing toys and I was just trying to find stuff for 46 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:51,920 Channel Super Fun so this was around the time uh leading up to the big move into 47 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:55,200 the new studio and so I was just like 48 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,879 what the hell is this it's a it's a 49 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:02,239 waifu pillow you got to be kidding me so I ordered it having no idea what I was 50 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,120 gonna do like I was I was thinking initially I would try and do some kind 51 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:09,799 of a prank where I called people down to help me with something and then like I'd 52 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,480 have a hidden camera and then I'd be like making out with it or something and 53 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,720 I'd get like reaction shots from people but we ended up coming up with the 54 00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:20,280 Channel Super Fun where we did the cuddle challenge I think that ended up 55 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,040 being a lot better anyway I don't know how well that video is doing you know 56 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:30,280 honestly I feel like I feel like Channel Super Fun just should do so much better 57 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,759 but uh like nothing ever really catches 58 00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:35,120 on for us on that channel like it doesn't go it doesn't go viral or 59 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:38,120 whatever else I've got people telling me to get another human the office is like 60 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:44,720 empty I mean do you really want me to pull Nick light in here huh come on 61 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:47,280 that'd be like the worst thing ever um 62 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,360 so I promised to discuss some okay before before I get into that um I will 63 00:04:49,919 --> 00:05:00,759 go through some of the some of the top topics for today Intel to cut 64 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,759 12,000 jobs as PC demand Wes 65 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,240 ouch uh researchers accidentally 66 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,520 discover technology that could lead to batteries that can be charged many more 67 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,479 times than current ones nerd Sports has 68 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:21,520 launched on vessel so this is something that we've had a lot of people asking 69 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:28,960 about uh seeking clarification on so nerd Sports is a new series that we 70 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:31,160 developed um it was funded by vessel.com 71 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,520 so if you guys familiar with Bessel it's the Early Access platform that our 72 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,880 videos go up on uh generally speaking one week before YouTube but this is 73 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,560 different nerd Sports is exclusive to vessel and it's a series that we 74 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:49,160 developed we've done five episodes or filmed five episodes so far three of 75 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:55,400 which are actually done one of which is released um where 76 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,600 basically the lonus Media Group team we 77 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:04,919 call ourselves the keyboard Warriors takes on actual sports teams so the 78 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:07,440 first sports that we did were 79 00:06:04,919 --> 00:06:12,520 um actually we filmed it like ages ago at this point projects like this take so 80 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,680 long so volleyball dodgeball lacrosse 81 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,240 ice hockey and curling so the first 82 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:22,720 episode is volleyball it's awesome we actually take on the Trinity Western 83 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,360 Spartans who are the top college uh 84 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:31,440 women's volleyball team in the country as of last year and it is um it it is 85 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:37,199 actually pretty hilarious I don't think I'm technically supposed to do this cuz 86 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:43,080 like there is a trailer and stuff but I will I will play just I'll play just a 87 00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:44,560 little bit of it um so where videos here 88 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:51,680 we go just going to grab some grab a couple 89 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,680 chunks out of it here 90 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,479 if it loads of course everyone's probably like 91 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,960 hitting it all at the same time now thanks 92 00:07:08,039 --> 00:07:16,120 guys that's weird see that's that's 93 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:18,080 working well we'll be back um so nerd 94 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,639 Sports is available now it's going to be released weekly for the next four weeks 95 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,639 over on vessel.com um what else do we 96 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:33,720 have ah yes a mosquito killing billboard 97 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,960 pretty freaking cool okay so now with 98 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:43,319 all that aside I have to take some time to talk about the HTC Vive and I know 99 00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:44,599 you guys are thinking all right Luke's 100 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:50,319 not here on the show I don't have to listen to anyone 101 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,440 talk about talk about VR for the next 102 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:56,919 hour and a half but you were 103 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,599 wrong um everything about everything about that was wrong I'm definitely 104 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:05,240 going to be talking about VR so the HTC Vive arrived yesterday afternoon at 105 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:10,039 which time I promptly completely abandoned everything else that I had 106 00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:14,840 planned for that evening um I got home I was like hi kids bye kids and locked 107 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:21,000 myself upstairs they were allowed in afterwards but only if they agreed to help me set up the Vive uh locked myself 108 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:25,560 upstairs to set up the Vive it takes the mo it's the most agonizing like hour 109 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:30,639 ever because I kind of thought it would come 110 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:35,760 with like floor or something for the lighthouse units it does not they just 111 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,680 expect you to wall mount it so I was like um V are we painting this room soon 112 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,959 because we had actually discussed it and she's like yeah I think I think so we 113 00:08:42,839 --> 00:08:49,760 had we had said we were going to I'm like okay I'm putting a bunch of holes in the 114 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,080 wall so I'm just in there just like 115 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,120 drilling random holes in the wall mounting the lighthouse it takes about an hour to set up and you're just like I 116 00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,800 just want to play VR games I just want to play VR games um so then at that time 117 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,760 I kind of realized again that I had derped and that I should have done this 118 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:10,040 at the beginning but I realized oh I I don't have any VR games downloaded so I 119 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:15,920 had to I had to go buy some VR games right away and then I had to 120 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,000 um go ahead and wait for those to 121 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:23,720 download while I finished the setup and then I spent about two hours straight 122 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:27,240 for the first time playing a single player 123 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:33,160 experience in I don't even no like I can't even 124 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,760 begin to imagine how long it's been since I've 125 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,839 since I've done that in a single player game like I'll drop in and like I was 126 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:45,079 playing Team Fortress too with uh with Luke actually the other night he was 127 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:49,279 streaming on his twitch Channel and stuff uh but like just playing single 128 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:55,600 player games it's been a long time but I was playing uh space pirate 129 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:57,560 trainer it is freaking cool you've got 130 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,920 like a shield and a blaster and you can like switch out your shield and your 131 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:06,079 blaster um it is unbelievably fun um I had I had 132 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:11,120 a lot of people say yeah enjoy your enjoy your headache after 30 minutes you 133 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,760 know what two hours almost uninterrupted 134 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:20,160 uh my wife was playing for a little bit two hours almost uninterrupted and I was 135 00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:22,839 feeling good like I was 100% fine at the 136 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:28,640 end of that it was it was freaking awesome I can't wait to go home and play 137 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:31,480 with it more um there are still issues 138 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:36,720 like the setup process is not perfect I ran into a couple of issues while I was 139 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,399 setting it up um number one was I ended 140 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,160 up with the bug where you can end up standing like 6 to 10 feet below the 141 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:48,279 floor for the entire like introductory video segment and I was just like okay 142 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:52,760 well this is really frustrating like is it is everything supposed to be up there 143 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,519 am I supposed to be down here because there's like a weird like golf cart next 144 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:00,560 to me but what I was actually standing in was like a little room that's 145 00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:04,560 supposed to to lift the golf cart up like it's supposed to seem like the golf cart emerges from there but I was just 146 00:11:02,839 --> 00:11:11,440 stuck down there and I didn't come up when the golf cart went up either so it 147 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:15,000 was just sort of confusing um and 148 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,079 then the other issue I had was my my 149 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,440 motion controllers my my handheld motion controllers just weren't picking up 150 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:25,120 until I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and like there there were some 151 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:32,760 issues with the setup but once it's going man it's fun like the resolution 152 00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:35,639 does bother me like you take off the goggles and you see the preview window 153 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,760 on the screen you're just like oh man what if it looked like 154 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:44,519 that but not to the point where the gameplay isn't immersive and the 155 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:47,839 gameplay isn't ludicrously enjoyable so 156 00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:51,079 it was uh I I tell you guys it was an 157 00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:52,800 absolute it was an absolute blast I I 158 00:11:51,079 --> 00:11:58,760 had a lot of fun with it last night I will I suppose I will get on 159 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,959 with the show now um let's uh jump into our first topic here so the original 160 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:08,120 article is from anon.com uh and Intel is slashing oh 161 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:15,320 right this was posted originally on the Forum by oh no one so Intel is slashing 162 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:18,800 a huge number of jobs over the rest of 163 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:23,320 2016 and even leading into 164 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:27,959 2017 um about 11% of the total Workforce 165 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,880 12,000 people um CEO Brian kranich says 166 00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:35,399 Intel has been known as a PC company it's time to make this transition and 167 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,600 push the company all the way over to 168 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:41,680 supplying chips for things like smartphones cloud computing sensors and 169 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:50,079 other devices uh getting heavily into internet of things and mobile products 170 00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:52,959 um I mean he's not saying that CPUs as 171 00:12:50,079 --> 00:13:00,320 you know them are going away they're just diversifying their portfolio and 172 00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:02,440 focusing their R&D very clearly on those 173 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:08,519 other possible revenue streams to be clear also 60% of their 174 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:14,240 revenue does still come from PC CPUs but most of the layoffs are 175 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:21,079 expected to occur inside the PC business to allow them to focus on these other 176 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:28,120 categories I really I really hope that they know 177 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:30,360 something that AMD doesn't know about 178 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,880 the possibility for improving CPU performance over the next few years here 179 00:13:32,199 --> 00:13:38,360 because we've we really have seen them deemphasize the CPU long before there 180 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:42,360 were Mass layoffs associated with it like this where they're kind of going 181 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:47,199 okay yep more power efficiency um we're putting more GPU on it we are not really 182 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:53,360 doing a whole lot in terms of the overall horsepower of it keeping the the 183 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,759 Computing experience of the desktop 184 00:13:53,360 --> 00:14:00,480 user relatively stagnant while the mobile users are getting real tangible 185 00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:04,639 benefits out of each coming generation like the the better connectivity I would 186 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:09,639 say even benefits notebook users more than desktop users because desktop users 187 00:14:06,839 --> 00:14:13,759 can throw an addin card in their system say for example whereas laptop users 188 00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:17,959 these battery life improvements these connectivity improvements you know 189 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:23,839 things like Thunderbolt 3 make a huge difference I mean you can only have so 190 00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:25,399 many ports on something like a laptop um 191 00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:32,079 something like Apple's MacBook you can only have one port yay whereas on a 192 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:37,839 desktop you well you don't really need a single port that has such high speeds 193 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:40,839 and can handle you know land and sound 194 00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:42,079 and USB and HDMI and DisplayPort all 195 00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:47,120 out of this one connection because you could just plug all those things in it's 196 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:54,199 not really that big of a deal um where was I going with this right so 197 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:57,320 we've we've seen this dmhas coming but 198 00:14:54,199 --> 00:15:01,680 it's frustrating because when you look 199 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,199 at when you look at Intel's CPUs um on 200 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:12,320 the on the mainstream side like on the LGA 115x side of things there is room like 201 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,720 actual physical there is physical room 202 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:20,920 for them to even if they can't increase clock speeds dramatically and even if 203 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,959 they can't increase IPC that's that's the that's the performance per clock 204 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,480 dramatically they could be putting more cores on them if they opted to give us a 205 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:33,720 pure CPU rather than an APU something with CPU and Graphics built into it at 206 00:15:31,199 --> 00:15:38,759 the same time they just don't they Reserve that for the high-end platform 207 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:42,639 the Enthusiast and the server platform and 208 00:15:39,959 --> 00:15:50,040 uh that's pretty much all she wrote on that now this is really weird and I am 209 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:54,920 going to have to find out what it is regarding by having Nick find out what 210 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:58,079 it's regarding uh sorry just one 211 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,480 moment can you take this for me please 212 00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:06,120 thank you and I'm going to move into my next topic 213 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,240 here uh oh actually well hold on I guess I could give a little bit a little bit 214 00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:15,800 more clarification so this is the largest set of layoffs in 10 years since 215 00:16:11,839 --> 00:16:17,480 2006 when they let 10,500 people go uh 216 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,399 profit margins in q1 were lower than expected with a net income of $2 billion 217 00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:25,399 on a revenue of 13.7 billion 218 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:31,279 um yeah there're I don't know I yeah I 219 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,720 hope for their sake they know something AMD doesn't know because if they're 220 00:16:33,319 --> 00:16:40,120 planning to let a lot of people go on the desktop CPU side if AMD really does 221 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,920 see a Resurgence with Zen get some more Revenue coming in um potentially 222 00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:49,399 allowing them to pick up some of that Talent there could be a big opportunity 223 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:54,720 for us to have competition again due to Intel not accidentally but making a 224 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,560 conscious decision to take their foot 225 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:01,519 off the pedal on the uh on the desktop CPU side of things uh I'll good 226 00:17:00,079 --> 00:17:07,280 yeah just because of the okay okay okay 227 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:12,520 cool all right so let's move into Intel 228 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:17,280 announcing oh no we we already we already got that oh let's move into this 229 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,000 one this one's fun so original article here was off of PC 230 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:30,720 perspective and basically it's amazing how this happens but researchers 231 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:34,679 accidentally discovered nanowire based technology that could lead to batteries 232 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:40,200 that can be charged hundreds of thousands of times so you guys are 233 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:47,160 probably familiar with the way that almost as though by planning um phones 234 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:52,400 become obsolete thanks to their batteries just going through the maximum 235 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,919 number of charge and discharge Cycles until they die like there's lithium ion 236 00:17:54,679 --> 00:18:03,480 batteries are inherently not stable over many charge 237 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:06,159 and discharge Cycles well here we go 238 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:12,720 accidental discovery nanowires which are several thousand times thinner than a 239 00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:14,840 human hair extremely conductive and have 240 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:19,559 a large surface area to support storage and transfer of 241 00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:23,320 electrons uh lai's Team so this is Maya 242 00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:26,000 laai fixed the issue where these these 243 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:30,159 tiny wires are fragile and don't hold up well to repeated discharging and 244 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:36,120 recharging they fix this by cing a gold Nano wire in a manganese dioxide shell 245 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:43,520 and then placing it in a in a gel that's like plexy plexiglass to improve its 246 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,960 reliability again totally by accident so 247 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:50,120 Maya was apparently playing around and coated the whole thing with a very thin 248 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:55,360 gel layer and started to cycle it and discovered that by using this gel she 249 00:18:52,960 --> 00:19:01,640 could cycle it hundreds of thousands of times without losing any capacity or any 250 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:08,960 power output so this was tested more than 200,000 times over a 3mon span and 251 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:14,919 they are reporting the findings now I would love to see this technology in my 252 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,000 new smartphone and I share um I believe 253 00:19:14,919 --> 00:19:20,400 it was written by Ryan shroud over at PC per but it could could have been one of 254 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:24,520 their other writers but I share their concern about this technology ultimately 255 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,960 being patented and ending up in a warehouse somewhere never to be seen 256 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:33,840 again because it is a good thing for phone manufacturers is bottom line wise 257 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,559 for the phone to effectively not be usable anywhere from 3 to 6 years after 258 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:42,440 it was originally manufactured would they want the battery to last forever I 259 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:47,760 don't know 260 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:51,799 um okay so moving along to our next 261 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:55,240 topic AMD is set to receive 262 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:56,880 293 million in fresh cash from a deal 263 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:04,559 with the Chinese government this of course 264 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,880 raises any number of questions um I mean 265 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:13,320 this comes on on the heels of the Chinese the so okay it's kind of 266 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:19,280 complicated because the Chinese government and then companies in China 267 00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:22,480 are intertwined in a way that you 268 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,200 wouldn't necessarily expect if you come 269 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:29,320 from like a a more western or more capitalist Society I mean yeah the 270 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:36,039 Chinese claim that capital ism is alive and well but the reality of it is that 271 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,720 state funds make a lot of the businesses 272 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:41,480 that run in China possible so in here 273 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:46,640 the original article is actually from Guru 3D I'm just going to go ahead and 274 00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:52,640 pull that up so in the guru 3D article they say the Chinese government has 275 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:53,840 attempted to make CPUs and develop their 276 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:59,799 own CPU architecture many times before um they 277 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,280 want their own own hardware and software for government funded 278 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:09,840 institutions but they have not yet succeeded and it looks like AMD is going 279 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,360 to be the beneficiary so AMD has made it clear in their strategy in their 280 00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:20,640 marketing strategy that they're ready to customize modular CPU and S so or system 281 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:23,120 on chip designs by the client specs so 282 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:29,039 similar to what they would have done with uh Sony and Microsoft for the 283 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,679 PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One 284 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:35,880 so the deal was mentioned in their last quarterly results 285 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,880 and 286 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:44,080 basically the deal would involve AMD 287 00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:46,840 licensing its x86 processor technology 288 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:53,120 and the IP related to designing an so like memory controllers input output and 289 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,360 caching but possibly not their GPU 290 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,960 technology um the architecture has not been confirmed but Forbes is claiming 291 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:03,960 that it must be Zen as there previous server CPUs hadn't had much if any 292 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:10,159 success it's actually been it's been a while since opteron has uh has been much 293 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,840 of a big deal this is this is this is 294 00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:17,720 very this is very very interesting I mean AMD 295 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,880 is you could see it as AMD getting in 296 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:25,480 bed with China uh you could also see it 297 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:28,279 as China eventually giving in and using 298 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:34,200 uh using American Technology in order to well catch up to what the Americans were 299 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,200 able to do with respect to 300 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,039 um with respect to supercomputing and I 301 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:44,200 mean I see I don't even know if this is going to be used in a supercomputing 302 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,600 context to be very clear because all we 303 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:53,520 really know is that the deal would involve licensing x86 processor 304 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,480 technology and IP related to building 305 00:22:53,520 --> 00:23:02,000 x86 architecture chips and S so's 306 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:07,039 so I've got people saying AMD is Americans since when okay so so there is 307 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:12,240 they they a significant amount of their company is owned by overseas investment 308 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:17,240 that is true but they are American in the sense that their headquarters is in 309 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:24,440 America I guess um yeah I 310 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,440 guess 311 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,960 um this is interesting so I actually I 312 00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:36,880 don't have a I don't have a source link for this or anything like that but AMD 313 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:41,480 will not be seeding 314 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:44,080 firepro sorry it's dang it Colton 315 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:50,159 uh so they will not be seaing their upcoming dual Hawaii 316 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:56,559 card I forget what they're even calling it I think it's like Radeon Duo Pro or 317 00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:58,880 Pro Duo there we go so the radon Pro duo 318 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:05,480 will not be seated to conin ventional gaming press I'll go ahead and share you 319 00:24:01,919 --> 00:24:09,600 guys on the uh sort of the announcement 320 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:13,919 for their super Computing performance to 321 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:17,679 VR um so what I was pretty much told is 322 00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:19,240 that this this product and I can't say 323 00:24:17,679 --> 00:24:25,320 anything about it for a couple of reasons uh number one if I want to get a 324 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:29,399 deck about it prior to the Embargo so I can prepare any content that I have uh 325 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,279 that I will be able to release without an actual card um I do have to agree to 326 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:40,880 the NDA and number two because I haven't received any of the deck materials yet 327 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:43,760 so all I know is going off of rumors so 328 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:50,320 it's supposed to be dual Hawaii chips um it sounds like it's going to be dual 4 329 00:24:46,399 --> 00:24:53,720 gig um it'll be it'll be uh it's oh okay 330 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,760 this is off of AMD site so anticipated 331 00:24:53,720 --> 00:25:02,039 selling price of $1,500 us and 332 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:07,200 basically the reasoning that was given to me 333 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,159 was well it's not 334 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:16,840 really uh sorry did I say dual Hawaii sorry dual Fiji dual Fiji so it's 335 00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:19,840 effectively two um it's effectively like 336 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840 two 337 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,640 R9 like R9 Fury SL Fury X kind of class 338 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:34,200 gpus that's that's what we can that's what we can GLE from the details we have 339 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,279 so far sorry I can't believe I said dual Hawai is I've been running around trying 340 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,000 to trying to get our internet back up and running over here 341 00:25:41,399 --> 00:25:49,679 um and see sorry I'm struggling a little bit because I'm not 342 00:25:46,399 --> 00:25:51,679 sure how much of what they told me is 343 00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:56,279 stuff that is on this page I'm looking at and how much of it is stuff that's 344 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:02,720 going to be in the deck that's going to be NDA so so this is good 345 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:08,480 it offers a complete solution aimed at all aspects of the VR developer 346 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:13,120 lifestyle developing content more rapidly for killer VR experiences while 347 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:18,760 at work and playing the latest directx12 experiences at maximum Fidelity while 348 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,880 off work so it's no secret that dual GPU 349 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,840 support on recent generation games has 350 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:31,240 not been what it was even before and by the 351 00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:34,520 way guys we are live um something about 352 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:38,000 time zones not time zones it is is 537 353 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,000 and we are live 354 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:43,880 um so even even a year or two years or 355 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:48,760 even three years ago dual GPU support wasn't perfect a lot of the time it 356 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:52,000 required Patches from NVIDIA or uh AMD 357 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,600 or previously ATI in order to function 358 00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:00,399 uh but it's actually gotten worse and worse and worse as time has gone on on 359 00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:04,399 in fact some games over the last little while even games that have been you know 360 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:08,679 you know the ones where there's like the NVIDIA logo or the AMD logo that pops up 361 00:27:07,159 --> 00:27:15,919 at the beginning with you know Gameworks technology or whatever else that just flat out the developers going yep yep 362 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,919 SLI uh Crossfire forget it forget it 363 00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:25,120 we're just yeah just doesn't matter it's it's too small of a portion of customers 364 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:27,760 so for that reason the pro Duo was not 365 00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:31,320 realistically going to get very good reviews from the gaming press because it 366 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,760 frankly just doesn't make a ton of sense as a gaming card it's only got 4 gigs of 367 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:43,600 effective video memory because it's four gigs per GPU that doesn't add up to 368 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:47,799 eight gigs that means four gigs um it's 369 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,640 two presumably fairly power hungry chips 370 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:54,960 that perform okay but not well enough to 371 00:27:51,679 --> 00:27:56,799 charge $1,500 for two of them and like 372 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,760 we've run into this before but typically the Dual GPU solution has has been 373 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:05,960 closer to the $1,000 range and not so close to the $1,500 range where you 374 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:12,200 can't just kind of go okay you know like here this is a fun experiment let's just 375 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:17,000 fire up New Egg Shop AMD radon Fury 376 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:19,600 x no newegg.com is fine oh I don't wow 377 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:24,440 wow the world's most boring sale monitors and printers unless you're 378 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:29,279 shopping for a monitor or a printer in which case what just happened to my 379 00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:36,720 search result oh New 380 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Egg anyway oh okay so about $629 so 381 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,559 you're paying this huge premium to have 382 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:47,320 a card that does save you on PCI apparently 295x2 launched at $1,500 yeah 383 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:53,320 that's a good point but how many units did 295x2 384 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,600 sell like this is a this is a this is a 385 00:28:53,320 --> 00:29:02,799 dinosaur the radon Pro duo in a gaming sense is a dinosaur because you can get 386 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:05,679 two X's for 13300 bucks after taxes kind 387 00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:09,360 of thing so unless you desperately need those two 388 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:13,440 slots what are you even what are you even doing and if you desperately need 389 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:18,760 those two slots why don't you just water cool water cool a couple of Fury X's I 390 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:22,960 mean that actually pays for your water blocks right there 391 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:31,120 so yeah it's going to be power hungry it's going to be super expensive so 392 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:36,159 basically they're kind of going okay yeah it's for developers and I I I don't 393 00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:39,240 really I don't really I guess I what I don't really get at this point I 394 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,919 understand why they're not seing it to reviewers because it wouldn't have gotten a positive review from us it 395 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,480 wouldn't have gotten a positive review from probably anyone they'd say you know 396 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:54,320 it's it's always that sugarcoated conclusion right this is the ultimate 397 00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:57,279 graphics card for AMD 398 00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:01,799 enthusiasts who want the highest performance 399 00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:05,080 single AMD card so you go like you go 400 00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:06,960 like this is this this sliver of this 401 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:11,640 slice of the available Market of people who are interested in graphics cards and 402 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:15,559 that is pretty much all that is left for someone who for for gaming purposes 403 00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:21,559 might be interested in a radi on prod I'll be interested to see what they can 404 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,519 come up with in terms of value ads for 405 00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:28,720 the prodo that would make it make sense for developers but I just have a hard 406 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:33,640 time imagining what would make it better for developers than just picking up a 407 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:36,600 couple of Furies or a couple of Fury X's 408 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:40,480 um Alpha 17x in the chat this is a this is a really good this is a really good 409 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:44,279 point I'm a developer I use what the end user would be using so I know what the 410 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:51,039 crap I'm something twitch chat moves too fast I mean that is uh that is a really 411 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,360 really great Point um and depending on 412 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:56,519 what kind of development you're doing like if you're working on digital assets 413 00:30:55,159 --> 00:31:00,639 you might be interested in something like a fire Pro or something like a 414 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:09,600 Quadro card but in those cases you'd want a lot more than four gigs of vram 415 00:31:04,399 --> 00:31:11,240 per GPU so I still don't understand why 416 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:15,760 they're even releasing this card that's the question I understand why they don't 417 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:18,960 want people to review it I don't understand why they even kept it in 418 00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:23,760 development after all this time because I it's like it's no secret that VR and 419 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:28,440 directx12 is where we're headed and dual GPU something of a dinosaur at this 420 00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:36,039 point I mean NVIDIA didn't even bother do you think do you think NVIDIA 421 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:38,159 couldn't have built a dual 980 card come 422 00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:43,360 on they totally could have done it you think they couldn't have built a dual 423 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:46,399 980 card with 8 gigs of RAM per GPU like 424 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,200 that they managed to build an mxm they 425 00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:54,919 managed to put a 980 in a laptop the power efficiency was there the thermal 426 00:31:51,399 --> 00:31:58,000 output was there they were just 427 00:31:54,919 --> 00:32:00,960 like why bother I mean Titan Z was such 428 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:05,279 a flop I mean the price that presumably it had to be in order to build it 429 00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:08,559 because they had they had lots of time to drop the price on it and just go okay 430 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,880 yeah we'll just take less margin on it and sell some more units um like the 431 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:17,679 price it must have cost to make it just made it 432 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:24,880 untenable so yeah I mean to me this is kind of 433 00:32:20,639 --> 00:32:28,399 like the the final swan song for dual 434 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:31,000 gpus on one card outside of uh outside 435 00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:34,240 of you know professional like scientific com like high performance Computing 436 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:39,320 based cards that you might expect to find in a in a like a a huge server Farm 437 00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:46,000 somewhere so hopefully Polaris is the answer and 438 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,159 uh and we can all look forward to that hey Brandon can you uh help me with 439 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:55,760 something for a minute very very quickly by 440 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,240 running thank you um can you find out 441 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:02,519 what this is and direct it to the appropriate place it may be something quite 442 00:32:59,399 --> 00:33:04,720 important all 443 00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:09,360 right so this is a cool piece of technology the original poster here is 444 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:18,799 aing and the original article here is from The Verge this is a cool way to use 445 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:22,120 technology this is a mosquito killer 446 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:25,519 billboard that is targeting Mosquito 447 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:28,360 carrying the zika virus in Brazil now if 448 00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:34,840 you have been if you've been watching um the development of zika in the news 449 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:39,440 you're probably aware that it is a huge 450 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:41,840 concern not necessarily for perfectly 451 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:48,240 healthy people but especially if you're pregnant zika could be a major problem 452 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,760 because it can cause I believe it's um 453 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,679 it's either macro or micro I'm going to go with micral which is a condition 454 00:33:51,919 --> 00:33:57,799 where your brain depending on whether it's macro or micro I think it's micro 455 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:03,039 where your where your head is super super small which causes all kinds of 456 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:10,399 Developmental problems so what the what the bill so zika hasn't has has been a 457 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,800 problem um in warmer climate areas 458 00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:21,520 jungle areas because it's spread by mosquitoes it's actually transmitted sexually as well but it has been a huge 459 00:34:16,359 --> 00:34:24,200 problem in Brazil so this 460 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:31,760 technology is apparently using this um like carbon dioxide and 461 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:36,359 lactic acid solution to mimic human 462 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:40,079 breathing and sweat and then zapping the 463 00:34:36,359 --> 00:34:42,399 bugs killing them so it can actually 464 00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:47,200 lure insects within a radius of up to two and a half kilm this is something 465 00:34:44,359 --> 00:34:51,000 I've always wondered about like how do mosquitoes find us so there you go 466 00:34:48,839 --> 00:34:54,560 apparently it's by smell now to be clear always wondered about doesn't mean like 467 00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:59,240 it was a burning desire because I could have just Googled it it's just something 468 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:06,320 that kind of like be like oh dang it how do they find me um so it can lure 469 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,320 insects within a radius of 2 and 12 km 470 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:17,440 and um let's 471 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:19,320 see and kill them but there H are some 472 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:23,880 concerns that have been raised so two of these Billboards have been installed in 473 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,400 Rio de Janeiro and they're using 474 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:31,839 technical spec specifications that they've actually published for free online but Chris Jackson uh Jackson 475 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:36,040 Jackson Jackson a pest control expert at the University of Southampton told the 476 00:35:33,839 --> 00:35:41,880 BBC that the billboard could inadvertently cause more people to be 477 00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:46,800 bitten depending on where it is placed and uh just give me one second Brandon 478 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:51,800 who did you give that phone to okay can you bring him back 479 00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:51,800 here thank 480 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,680 you so I've actually got a pretty cool 481 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:03,200 graphic for how it works here I'm just going to go ahead and pull this up on 482 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,520 the screen so a device spreads in the air 483 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:14,520 and a solution containing the um lactic acid and 484 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:18,720 CO2 okay so it spreads in the air this solution the combination of the two 485 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,760 substances attracts mosquitoes at this set claims a distance of up to 4 kilm 486 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,800 fluorescent lights enhance this attraction facilitating the 487 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,720 approximation I I think they mean approach of the 488 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:37,760 and then as the 80s flies on average 4T above the 489 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,359 ground the catch mechanism was designed 490 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:43,800 to be there it draws the mosquito into the panel and after being stuck the 491 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:48,920 mosquito dies dehydrated so it doesn't zap them in the sense that it like those 492 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:55,440 uh like those awesome paddle bug zapper things but uh it does kill them 493 00:36:52,839 --> 00:37:01,440 eventually which I guess is uh is all we can all we can really ask 494 00:36:58,319 --> 00:37:04,000 hey Brandon where is he okay did you 495 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:08,640 tell him to move quickly I can't hold on I'm streaming 496 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:13,400 from that phone I'm dropping frames he needs to get over here right away thank 497 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,400 you 498 00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:21,160 sorry all right so this was originally 499 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:27,839 posted by yumy Yuki 500 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:30,839 sene and this is pretty much the worst 501 00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:30,839 news 502 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:40,560 ever l e uh formerly who formerly went 503 00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:41,599 by the name of LV LV revealed their letu 504 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:47,920 range of smartphones none of which have a 3 and 1 505 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:49,839 12 mm Jack so instead the phone supports 506 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:55,800 USB type-c digital headphones through the charging port they also launched a 507 00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:58,480 USBC earphone skew and a USBC headphone 508 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:03,000 skew to accompany it so let's have a look at the original article over on 509 00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:07,800 Android authority which I would I would love to click on but Google Talks is 510 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:14,240 being such a derp right now and making it hard for me to click stuff there we 511 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:17,200 go so after all the rumors about Apple 512 00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:21,720 launching a phone with no headphone jack it turns 513 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,319 out that an Android phone maker is going 514 00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:28,119 to be the first one I really I get I get a kick out of 515 00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:32,280 ese like what are they why why what is the 516 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:38,880 point like I I get that they're kind of going oh yeah well you know we're going 517 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:43,359 to build this ecosystem with like earphones and headphones that work with 518 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:47,079 it but it's like such a hassle like what if I don't know say for example you were 519 00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:50,920 sitting down to stream the L show and you wanted to quickly plug your your 520 00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:55,119 headphones that you normally use with your phone into your streaming computer 521 00:38:52,920 --> 00:39:00,760 so you can check audio levels it's oh right oh bummer it's us B type c I guess 522 00:38:59,319 --> 00:39:07,240 it's just not going to work with anything and it's one thing if you were to release like some kind of a killer 523 00:39:04,839 --> 00:39:12,520 pair of headphones that rounds out the ecosystem and makes it make a ton of 524 00:39:10,359 --> 00:39:18,400 sense but that's 525 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:22,760 not yeah that's not g to help if you're 526 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:25,079 just some random Android maker and your 527 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:31,359 headphones and earphones to be clear I haven't heard them but are probably 528 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:33,240 terrible like probably just just 529 00:39:31,359 --> 00:39:38,119 awful um let's go ahead and uh see if we can 530 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,640 find any pictures of the device that would be that' be super cool I'm going 531 00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:48,599 to see if pocket now has pictures up on their site but uh yeah I mean there's really 532 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:53,240 not much else to say it's not it's not a product that I would be that I would be 533 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:58,280 especially interested in one way or the other and unfortunately the pocket now 534 00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,720 article is not loading for at the moment but 535 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,720 um yeah speaking of products that I'm not 536 00:40:05,359 --> 00:40:11,119 particularly interested in this

539 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:21,960 updated not the MacBook Air not the 540 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:27,040 product we were actually hoping that they would update you know one that has 541 00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:31,599 enough thinness but maybe not quite as much thinness but you know good battery 542 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:35,079 life but maybe not as good battery life but actually has ports on it no no they 543 00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:39,760 didn't give the MacBook ER Retina Display so it really does look like the 544 00:40:36,839 --> 00:40:43,480 MacBook Air is a is a is a forgone conclusion at this point I think it's a 545 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:52,240 it's a done deal it's gone they have updated the 12-in Macbook so now it has 546 00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:55,520 skyl CPU options a longer battery life 547 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:57,640 and a rose gold option so sixth 548 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:02,800 generation Skylake dual core 4M processors up to 1.3 GHz HD graphics 515 549 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:07,800 delivering 25% faster performance for all the games that you will presumably 550 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:11,319 be playing on your MacBook faster PCI Express based storage okay I can't 551 00:41:09,319 --> 00:41:21,040 complain about that an additional hour of battery life faster 1866 MHz memory 552 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:22,599 oh wow available R gold oh in addition 553 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,880 to the existing Gold Silver and space gray colors 554 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:32,920 unfortunately Apple in its Infinite Wisdom 555 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:34,880 did not feel it was necessary to add any 556 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:41,760 ports to it so while I wasn't going to buy one 557 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:44,280 anyway I find that frustrating just 558 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:50,599 because for the sake of the people buying this product it would be it would 559 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:52,280 be considerate of Apple to you know care 560 00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:57,240 about them enough to to give them some ports to use you know man I just I feel 561 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,520 bad for the Apple people Apple people apping 562 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:10,599 this yeah all 563 00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:13,800 right uhoh more car scandals the op here 564 00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:15,440 is numlock 21 I'm going to see if 565 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:19,680 refreshing Google Docs helps here this is driving me crazy it's doing that weird thing where there's like the line 566 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:24,520 you're trying to click on and you put your mouse there and it clicks like an inch higher or something like that let's 567 00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:31,319 see if that yeah there we go reloading the page helps so euronews.com has the 568 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:34,400 orinal article about Mitsubishi Motors 569 00:42:31,319 --> 00:42:35,800 faking their fuel economy tests they 570 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:43,520 actually got rided like go figure rated so their 571 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:48,319 shares plunged on Thursday following an admission that they faked fuel economy 572 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:54,119 data on car sold in Japan uh they ended up losing 3.2 billion in market value 573 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:59,319 over a mere three days they apologized on Wednesday saying they will make a 574 00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:04,200 sincere effort to make amends to car owners and transport Min the transport 575 00:43:02,359 --> 00:43:09,559 Minister of Japan wants Mitsubishi to look at the possibility of buying back 576 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:12,160 the cars that could be even more costly 577 00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:17,640 than what Volkswagen went through wow Mitsubishi will also have to 578 00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:21,480 pay subsidies granted to Consumers if data shows its cars do not meet the 579 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:26,960 necessary fuel economy standards I mean I don't know I don't 580 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:33,240 know what the takeaway here is part of the the takeway is these companies are 581 00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:36,520 bad and they did really bad things and you know I don't know if that makes some 582 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:44,599 bad people sometimes good people do bad things but faking fuel economy ratings 583 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:46,760 is pretty bad um I mean you're lying to 584 00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:50,720 your customers you're lying to your government you are polluting the economy 585 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:56,359 or polluting the economy you're polluting the uh environment more than 586 00:43:53,319 --> 00:43:58,119 you said you were like these these 587 00:43:56,359 --> 00:44:04,880 targets exist for a reason we're trying to reduce our ecological impact um but 588 00:44:02,359 --> 00:44:10,680 with that said it also raises questions about 589 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:14,440 the about whether 590 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:17,119 introducing laws governing how much you 591 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:21,920 know CO2 or how much how governing the emissions that cars can output whether 592 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:25,160 that's actually the solution or if you have to do something else I mean I've 593 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:30,440 argued for a long time that here in Vancouver Public Transit is basically 594 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:38,000 unusable if you have a job public transit is is pretty difficult to use 595 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:40,200 Vancouver is such a suburban sprawl it 596 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,760 just it just spreads in all in all directions rather than building up like 597 00:44:42,119 --> 00:44:50,520 many other cities have and our infrastructure is just awful outside of 598 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:54,720 the of the urban core to the point where something that is a half an hour drive 599 00:44:52,720 --> 00:45:01,200 could easily take two two and a half hours on a bus and if you value your 600 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:05,920 time at all like you could even just work another job in the 4 hours of 601 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:11,440 commuting that you save per day in order to have a car and not just sit around on 602 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:15,200 the bus um so rather than just kind of tell 603 00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:19,680 companies hey you have to have lower emissions you know maybe making changes 604 00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:24,800 that make it easier for people to use mass transit would be a better solution 605 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:29,760 but of course that's very easy for me to sit here and say I mean I don't actually 606 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,760 have to run the country thank 607 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:36,480 goodness all right huh more bad news 608 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:39,480 posted by Phoenix arising on the Forum and the original article here is from 609 00:45:38,119 --> 00:45:44,960 CNN Money Microsoft's profits Fall by 610 00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:53,520 25% not an insignificant amount sort of a sort of a 611 00:45:50,680 --> 00:46:03,800 lousy quarter but not all of this is necessarily entirely their fault so q125 612 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:05,720 $5 billion profit q1 2016 3.8 billion 613 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:10,640 but part of the reason that it fell 25% was due to a higher than expected tax 614 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:15,839 rate and a strong US dollar okay sales 615 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:18,119 are down from 20 21.7 to 20.5 billion um 616 00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:22,400 sales for Consumer versions grew 15% Enterprise version declined 11% for 617 00:46:20,119 --> 00:46:26,440 Windows although this I don't know could have something to do with that we got a 618 00:46:24,359 --> 00:46:31,400 consumer version of Windows that was not accompanied by a server version I mean 619 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:36,760 Ser server 2016 is nowhere to be found yet if anything it's probably kind of 620 00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:40,319 happy that you know Enterprise sales only declined a little bit like I 621 00:46:38,359 --> 00:46:44,400 personally would be trying to put off a server purchase until server 2016 shows 622 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:51,720 up if I had any say in the matter at this point um Office 623 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:55,040 365 consumer base reached 12.4 million 624 00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:57,480 in 20 q1 2015 and grew to 22.2 million 625 00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:04,319 in 2016 I will say I contributed to that I love Office 626 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:07,240 365 azur is up um XBox is up so 627 00:47:04,319 --> 00:47:10,599 basically yeah OS is OS is not growing the way they would like and they were 628 00:47:09,079 --> 00:47:16,680 taxed higher than they thought I'm glad they're at least paying taxes so you 629 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,680 know good guy Microsoft I 630 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,440 guess yeah anyway 631 00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:27,280 um what else we got 632 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:34,599 this is interesting so original post here is from n Gadget the Canadian 633 00:47:32,359 --> 00:47:41,440 province of Quebec contemplates mandating home EV charging stations 634 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:43,800 expects a decision by the start of this 635 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:52,760 summer I don't really understand what they're hoping to accomplish by that um 636 00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:54,839 I mean I can see how investing in 637 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:59,000 infrastructure throughout the province like public infrastructure could help 638 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:03,319 the adoption of an EV CU in my mind like as someone considering purchasing an 639 00:48:00,839 --> 00:48:07,160 electric vehicle I would love to buy an electric vehicle it's just not really in 640 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:14,000 my price range right now but as someone considering it after I've spent the 25 641 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:16,680 to $30,000 on an EV you know hundreds 642 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:19,960 more or even you know low thousands more for the charging station is not the end 643 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:25,800 of the world I mean you think about it like a phone like if you walk in you buy $500 phone are you that concerned about 644 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:29,559 the $30 charger at the same time like I consider it part of the purchase part of 645 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:37,440 the decision that someone buying that vehicle would have to make um so this 646 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:42,119 really and and and my decision as far as what the 647 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:48,240 government can do to help would have more to do with mandating businesses or 648 00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:52,480 uh installing these charging stations in public places than to do with whether or 649 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:58,559 not I have to buy a charging station to put in my garage so this again smacks of 650 00:48:56,359 --> 00:49:04,400 the govern thinking that just introducing a regulation is going to 651 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:08,359 somehow address some kind of a problem and change consumer Behavior at no cost 652 00:49:06,839 --> 00:49:13,960 to themselves because basically they're just making uh Builders stomach it and 653 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,920 they're making consumers who don't necessarily want one and aren't ready 654 00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:19,880 for one and could have easily waited another 5 years when they were ready for 655 00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:23,000 a new car and bought one then when it's cheaper and they're making them foot the 656 00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:26,760 bill instead of just investing in the infrastructure themselves 657 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,680 sorry oh yeah yeah yeah 658 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:41,040 um speaking of investing you know who invested in our 659 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:43,040 trip to PAX East yes my friends our 660 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:50,280 friends from oh that uh oh uh my lower third is gone 661 00:49:47,559 --> 00:49:53,200 hopefully I can find my lower third come on Lower 662 00:49:53,200 --> 00:50:00,599 third let's see what path it's supposed to be in of course 663 00:49:57,559 --> 00:50:04,079 of course mousing over it didn't help 664 00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:06,000 and of course I do understand why that's 665 00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:12,280 not working and there is basically nothing I can do about it right now so 666 00:50:08,599 --> 00:50:14,160 our sponsors were Logitech G and Discord 667 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:20,079 so Logitech G you're probably familiar with you can check out their new g900 668 00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:21,559 wireless gaming mouse over at amazon.com 669 00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:27,359 I will link that in the twitch chat this is the one that Luke went all the way to 670 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:36,440 Switzerland to check out and basically see how it is that Logitech 671 00:50:30,799 --> 00:50:39,160 validated it to run as effortlessly and 672 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:43,040 as stably as a Wired Mouse even though it doesn't have a wire pretty freaking 673 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:48,079 cool little piece of technology um they're also showing off 674 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:53,319 what they're calling the Great Wall of Logitech G's using their g810 keyboards 675 00:50:51,319 --> 00:50:56,280 so they created original 8bit content to show on the wall through the use of 676 00:50:54,559 --> 00:51:01,680 their keyboards LEDs you can actually find a short clip um here I'll try and 677 00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:06,440 fire this up for you guys here yeah there you go so this is on this is on 678 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:11,799 NVIDIA's Twitter pretty freaking cool it's hard to even tell that that's not a 679 00:51:08,839 --> 00:51:16,359 proper display from here like look at it they're all 680 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:19,599 keyboards that is awesome which like pretty much everything in my life right 681 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:23,480 now reminds me of the HTC VI there's a really cool mini game from valve that 682 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:30,440 has you use the controller as a ship kind of like an old arcade style uh you 683 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:32,440 know uh upsc scrolling like uh spaceship 684 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:36,480 shooter game except the controller is the ship so you can like move around in 685 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:44,119 3D space and like fire at bad guys oh it's freaking freaking sick 686 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,640 um so if you're watching this on YouTube 687 00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:51,559 there should be a full video by the way Linked In the video

server to client Communications to keep your IP address 695 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:26,920 safe that sounds pretty cool and they have built-in dos protection with 696 00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:30,559

and they've got a lot of new tools 716 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:53,160 that they've added since we have been uh since we've been doing these spots for 717 00:53:51,240 --> 00:53:57,040 them actually now that I think about it things like being able to download the 718 00:53:54,799 --> 00:54:01,200 videos and view them on the bus when you don't necessarily want to eat up your 719 00:53:58,359 --> 00:54:06,280 data connection on iOS and Android uh the ability to uh skim along a 720 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:10,559 transcript of the course and then just click to a point on the script and then 721 00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:13,640 have the video pick up at that spot uh the ability to create playlists so you 722 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:17,720 can learn alongside your friends and follow a curriculum together and they're 723 00:54:15,799 --> 00:54:23,880 offering a 10day free trial which gives you access to every course on linda.com 724 00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:26,160 for 10 days all you can eat with plans 725 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:31,119 starting after that at only 25 bucks a month month so check it 726 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:39,760 out all right what else we got here we've actually got a fair number of uh 727 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:46,240 Fair number of topics Microsoft has finally ended production of the Xbox 728 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:49,040 360 so there you have it originally 729 00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:54,079 posted on Kotaku if you wanted to buy an Xbox 730 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,559 360 before today was the time well there 731 00:54:54,079 --> 00:55:03,200 will probably still be some on shelves but 10 and a half 732 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:07,119 years 10 and a half years ago the Xbox 733 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:09,720 360 launched and we are finally finally 734 00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:15,400 rid of it uh Microsoft's Phil Spencer wrote a few paragraphs about its success 735 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,720 um saying Xbox 360 means a lot to 736 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,720 everyone in Microsoft and while we've had an amazing run the realities of 737 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:24,559 manufacturing a product over at decade old are starting to creep up on us which 738 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:29,200 is why we've made the decision to stop manufacturing new Xbox 360 cons consoles 739 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:33,880 we will continue to sell existing inventory with availability varying by 740 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,680 country Xbox Live will remain active as will the Xbox 360's various stores and 741 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:42,039 online services um and the Xbox one is actually 742 00:55:39,799 --> 00:55:44,680 adding support for backward was adding backwards compatibility support for some 743 00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:51,960 360 games so there you have it there you 744 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:53,280 have it the Xbox 360 is finally no more 745 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,440 I'm actually probably going to pick up a handful of Xbox 360 controllers before 746 00:55:56,079 --> 00:56:01,720 like getting peripherals for dying console 747 00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:06,400 Madness happens I want to get a couple that are in good condition because it's still my favorite controller really 748 00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:10,280 don't like the shape of the dual shock and I really do prefer it to the Xbox 749 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:13,680 One controller so there you 750 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,960 go um let's see what else we 751 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:29,839 got oh this is interesting original article here is from anon.com WD is 752 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,480 ucing WD gold hard drives they have 753 00:56:29,839 --> 00:56:38,119 added yet another color it's available in capacities from four to six to 8 754 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:43,039 terabytes and effectively pretty much 755 00:56:38,119 --> 00:56:45,599 replaces the SE lineup um my see much oh 756 00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:51,160 H that's funny I derped um and pretty much replaces their existing SE lineup 757 00:56:48,039 --> 00:56:54,280 which was kind of like um like a a high 758 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:56,680 capacity Enterprise but not as expensive 759 00:56:54,280 --> 00:57:01,359 as re not quite as expens not quite as high performance as 760 00:56:58,079 --> 00:57:02,960 re um so basically the the color 761 00:57:01,359 --> 00:57:07,880 branding is almost complete I'm surprised they called it gold I would have thought they would save gold for re 762 00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:12,480 but maybe they're going to call that platinum or something I don't know it's 763 00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:19,799 tuned similarly to WD red drives uh rated for 247 use and workloads of up to 764 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:21,640 550 terabytes a year with a 5year 765 00:57:19,799 --> 00:57:25,880 warranty cool uh this is this is just kind of 766 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:32,200 funny this is originally uh original post here is uh over on 767 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:35,280 cbc.ca rust players outraged after half 768 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:39,240 of them given female 769 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:42,000 avatars um in some kind of attempt to 770 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:45,680 appease sjws I suppose now this wouldn't be that big of 771 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:51,920 an issue if they hadn't been 772 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:57,000 changed without the players even being notified and 773 00:57:54,359 --> 00:58:00,920 permanently so your player just 774 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:05,160 boom they've imped a feature that randomly makes your character a man or a 775 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:09,839 woman they actually randomize features for your permanent character like skin 776 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:14,000 color limb length and even penis size so developers Gary Newman and Taylor 777 00:58:11,359 --> 00:58:18,760 Reynolds expected this backlash and addressed it on their Community Dev log 778 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:22,559 this is great we understand this is a sore subject for a lot of people we 779 00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:26,240 understand that you may now be a gender that you don't identify with in real 780 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:30,200 life we understand this causes you to stress and makes you not want to play 781 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:33,839 the game anymore technically nothing has changed since half the population was 782 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:36,760 already living with those feelings the only difference is that whether you feel 783 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:41,119 like this is now decided by your steam ID instead of your real life gender this 784 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:45,640 is really just the first pass of an ongoing rework of the player model I'll 785 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:49,720 continue to add variations over the coming weeks which means you're probably 786 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:53,760 not stuck with your new face forever we've got a decent synced workflow 787 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:57,039 between the assets I make in zbrush and the assets you'll see in game now so it 788 00:58:55,359 --> 00:59:03,240 opens up a lot of scope to easily add or change features without a great deal of 789 00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:03,240 technical faffing in 790 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,680 between 791 00:59:08,359 --> 00:59:16,200 what so we heard that lots of people you 792 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:18,720 know don't identify with gender X or Y 793 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:26,160 or some combination of the two and that makes them unhappy so we 794 00:59:23,039 --> 00:59:29,119 thought as a game developer 795 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:35,240 we would take our customers and we would have them experience that on some 796 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:41,000 scale because 797 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:44,000 we something 798 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000 um 799 00:59:44,839 --> 00:59:53,280 okay uh we've got more details about the 800 00:59:49,559 --> 00:59:55,520 PlayStation 4K which um we don't know if 801 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,079 it's the confirmed name I don't know if we talked about about some of this stuff 802 00:59:57,079 --> 01:00:02,119 last week I I believe we actually did but we've got a handy dandy little chart 803 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:08,319 this time so I can go ahead and fire that up for you guys so eight Jaguar cores eight more 804 01:00:06,599 --> 01:00:11,720 Jaguar cores well no the exactly the same number of eight Jaguar cores in 805 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:21,000 fact same architecture but higher clock speed okay gcn better gcn okay uh higher 806 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:22,839 clocked um more compute units uh memory 807 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:30,000 looks like it's got a bandwidth increase but is actually still the same 8 gigs so 808 01:00:26,319 --> 01:00:32,680 there you go um 809 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:37,640 Yep this is cool so this was originally posted by Strider 721 on the Forum the 810 01:00:34,839 --> 01:00:43,520 original article here is from The Verge Counter Strike hacked to run on Android 811 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,520 phones this is 812 01:00:44,839 --> 01:00:54,359 cool now to be clear this is not CS:GO this is Counterstrike 813 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:57,920 1.6 but how cool is that right look at 814 01:00:54,359 --> 01:00:57,920 this love it 815 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:05,280 oh man so let's get some details here so 816 01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:09,839 this is the work of uh programmer sorry hold on got to close that albec omarov 817 01:01:07,839 --> 01:01:13,839 who's experienced in making old PC games run on Android he's created touchscreen 818 01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:20,039 controls for the game so to get it to work on your Android device you download 819 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:21,440 the sash xash it's xsh 3D software have 820 01:01:20,039 --> 01:01:26,119 the games on your Steam account to copy the files across and the port does 821 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:29,039 apparently support peripherals which is pretty cool because with an on the-go 822 01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:33,680 cable I have actually tested this with an OTG cable and a phone that supports 823 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,799 OTG and just a normal USB hub you can plug in pretty much whatever you could 824 01:01:35,039 --> 01:01:42,119 possibly want powered USB hub otherwise you are definitely going to have issues 825 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,680 running like you know large 104 key like 826 01:01:42,119 --> 01:01:48,280 RGB backlit keyboards so I think that pretty much 827 01:01:45,559 --> 01:01:53,000 does it for the WAN Show thank you to all of you who went ahead and uh stuck 828 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,359 with me through the technical difficulties on the show today really do 829 01:01:55,160 --> 01:02:03,440 appreciate it I will see
